[0:00] I'm Hannah Storm and you're watching the

[0:01] Early Show online. Today, neighbor

[0:03] versus neighbor. You won't believe what

[0:05] one community is doing to hang on to

[0:07] their rural roots. Also, amazing but

[0:10] true, there's actually a radio station

[0:11] for cats and dogs and a real slice of

[0:15] America. We visit a small Ohio town and

[0:17] check out the local flavor. Those

[0:19] stories are just ahead on the Early Show

[0:21] online. Good morning, Tracy.

[0:24] >> Hey, Julie. You know, some neighbors

[0:25] look innocent enough, but they're living

[0:27] on the brink of war. In this case, this

[0:30] is not just neighbor versus neighbor.

[0:31] This is town versus town. People in one

[0:34] town are trying to hold on to their

[0:35] rural way of life by keeping out their

[0:38] urban neighbors any way they can.

[0:43] >> Watch out, Ryan. Watch out.

[0:46] >> There you go.

[0:48] >> It's already sweltering at 8:00 on a

[0:50] Sunday morning in Florida,

[0:53] but the residents of Southwest Ranches

[0:55] are up and throwing their weekly block

[0:57] party.

[1:00] It may look like a cheerful suaree, but

[1:02] they're actually out here to taunt the

[1:04] neighbors.

[1:05] >> YOU GOT TO ASK ME FOR PERMISSION IF YOU

[1:06] WANT TO DO THIS. I LIVE HERE. YOU NEVER

[1:07] ASK ME.

[1:08] >> They're blocking people on their way to

[1:10] church.

[1:11] >> Can you imagine something like this in

[1:13] America? Go over, make another work, and

[1:16] come back alone.

[1:17] >> Believe it or not, they're protesting

[1:19] the traffic. The people of rural

[1:21] southwest ranches are fed up with the

[1:23] urban masses of Pembroke Pines cutting

[1:26] through their quiet streets.

[1:28] >> Sir, there's no way you can get to go to

[1:30] church.

[1:30] >> The only way to get to this church is

[1:32] through

[1:34] >> these neighborhoods.

[1:35] >> These residential streets of of

[1:37] Southwest Ranches.

[1:38] >> Go to the stop sign.

[1:39] >> Luckily, there's more than one way to

[1:41] get to the church.

[1:43] >> You should have made a right at the stop

[1:44] sign.

[1:44] >> I didn't know there was something

[1:46] happening down here.

[1:47] >> I know.

[1:48] Nonetheless, churchgoers are upset. It

[1:51] >> was an inconvenience and it's very

[1:53] devilish of them. I find

[1:54] >> to make them do all this uh zigzag

[1:58] around a community. It's not right.

[2:00] >> Did you have any hesitation about

[2:01] blocking people's access to a place of

[2:03] worship?

[2:05] >> Absolutely.

[2:06] It's the only way we can get their

[2:08] attention.

[2:09] >> Every time they want to get through,

[2:11] it's an emergency or the kids are sick

[2:14] or I got to get to the airport.

[2:16] >> So, you don't buy those stories? No.

[2:20] >> In your gut, Iris, when you see this

[2:22] this barrier,

[2:23] >> Mhm.

[2:24] >> what do you what do you feel?

[2:28] >> How dare they?

[2:29] >> But dare they do?

[2:30] >> We need to get through to the church.

[2:32] >> Hey, good morning.

[2:34] >> Even the cops drive around the

[2:36] roadblock.

[2:37] >> Go right down here and you join it.

[2:39] Laray, whatever happened to love thy

[2:41] neighbor?

[2:42] >> We tried that. Been there done that.

[2:45] >> Didn't work. didn't work.

[2:49] >> Go to the stop signs.

[2:51] >> Just when you thought you had heard

[2:52] everything, wait till you hear this. A

[2:55] radio station that is not for people. It

[2:57] is for their pets. Take a listen.

[3:01] >> Okay, dogs and cats out there. This is

[3:03] Jane Harris again. I have a question for

[3:06] you. How many of you little babies are

[3:08] on your second home? How many?

[3:10] >> Oh, it's called dogcatradio.com

[3:12] and the inventor is Adrien Martinez. He

[3:15] joins us along with the radio station's

[3:17] morning DJ Jane Harris. Good morning

[3:19] all.

[3:20] >> Good morning.

[3:21] >> Adrian, tell me how you got the idea for

[3:23] this.

[3:24] >> Well, you know, Harry, there's two

[3:26] things that mean a lot to me. One is

[3:27] music, one is pets. And uh I just

[3:29] thought what better way than to combine

[3:30] the both and share them with the world.

[3:32] >> Now, didn't one of your pets communicate

[3:34] to you his or her desire for to have a

[3:37] radio station w with a program for his

[3:40] needs?

[3:41] >> Yeah. People think I'm crazy, but yeah,

[3:43] I one of my cats u likes to sit around

[3:46] the desk and hang out while I play

[3:47] music, but uh whenever I put it down,

[3:49] she would just kind of act up and stuff

[3:50] and I never thought would have known

[3:52] why. So, um she would walk on the

[3:54] keyboard and just act a mess until I

[3:56] would put music and not just any music.

[3:58] It'd be have to be like 80s music and

[4:00] she'd be fine right after that. So,

[4:01] >> 80s music.

[4:02] >> Go figure. Yeah. I don't know. The big

[4:04] hair I think it's got something to do

[4:05] with it. I don't know.

[4:08] I what what is the playlist for for for

[4:11] dog dog dog cat radio? What kind what

[4:13] kind of songs do dogs and cats like?

[4:15] >> Good question. See, we take requests and

[4:17] we've been getting requests from the

[4:18] straight cats to anything by the

[4:20] monkeys. Uh you know, the animals, you

[4:22] know, the Baja men Who let the dogs out,

[4:24] Elvis, you know, you ain't nothing but a

[4:25] hound dog, you know, that sort of thing.

[4:26] So, it's it's it's eclectic for sure.

[4:29] >> Yeah. Now, do so you this is this is uh

[4:32] online so you can just uh you know punch

[4:35] into dogcat.com and and if you have

[4:38] speakers on your computer you can listen

[4:39] to the listen to the station, right?

[4:41] >> Correct. Uh that's why we decided to go

[4:43] online to be accessible to the entire

[4:45] pet community and uh but we never we

[4:47] underestimated uh underestimated the pet

[4:50] community because it's global. We've

[4:52] gotten over the past couple days uh past

[4:54] 24 hours, we've got over 50,000 hits,

[4:56] you know, from around the world and uh

[4:58] it's just listeners are just sending in

[4:59] sending emails uh left and right. Our

[5:01] service is just just going off the wall.

[5:03] So, it's it's it's interesting.

[5:05] >> Are there certain songs that dogs prefer

[5:07] more than cats? And and do you have do

[5:09] you program certain times of the day? I

[5:11] would imagine cats stay up late, you

[5:13] know. I don't know.

[5:15] Well, you know, we we we do have the

[5:17] bilingual hour for for our bilingual

[5:19] pets, but uh also we have uh you know,

[5:21] they they like disco. I've noticed disco

[5:23] music tends to get those paws shaking

[5:25] and uh struting their you know, the cats

[5:27] strut their stuff. So, that that sort of

[5:29] thing.

[5:29] >> Shane Adrian, thank you so much. Good

[5:31] luck with your venture there. We were

[5:34] invited to hundreds of towns across the

[5:36] USA, but our first destination is

[5:39] Greenville, Ohio, where you can meet a

[5:42] man they call the Master Miller.

[5:57] Mr.

[6:00] Br.

[6:02] >> Dear Early Show,

[6:04] >> I am Debbie Solders from Greenville,

[6:06] Ohio to tell you that my town is the

[6:09] home of Annie Oakley and my singing

[6:11] group Melody Line.

[6:18] >> Have you heard of Kitchen Aid Mixers?

[6:21] They're made right here in Greenville.

[6:23] We're also the home of the Made Right

[6:25] Sandwich Shop with gum stuck to the

[6:28] outside brick exterior.

[6:30] >> All of the customers coming here would

[6:32] just stop and put their gum on the wall

[6:34] on their way in. I try a couple times a

[6:36] year to take it down, but it constantly

[6:39] comes back.

[6:40] >> I'm Debbie Sers and welcome to my town,

[6:43] Greenville, Ohio.

[6:45] >> Like this man who has spent 30 years

[6:47] keeping his nose to the grindstone,

[6:49] literally.

[6:50] >> What is your title?

[6:51] >> I'm the mill master. What are you? The

[6:53] the miller.

[6:54] >> The master miller.

[6:55] >> The master miller.

[6:57] >> Terry Clark may be the master miller

[6:59] now, but he sure didn't know much back

[7:01] in 1979.

[7:03] >> I didn't know the difference between

[7:05] white corn and yellow corn, except the

[7:06] color.

[7:07] >> And yet, he convinced his wife they

[7:09] should buy Bear's Mill to save it from

[7:11] destruction. It's one of only 50 mills

[7:14] left in the country that is powered by

[7:16] water.

[7:16] >> I'm going to turn on the turbine.

[7:18] >> Okay,

[7:18] >> this is put in 1862.

[7:20] Corn's going down into the center of the

[7:22] burst stone. Centrifugal force is

[7:25] throwing it to the outside. It goes in

[7:28] full kernels and it comes out like that.

[7:31] >> His stone ground products are offered

[7:33] for sale along with his wife's pottery.

[7:35] It's a living that suits him just fine.

[7:38] No one says life here is perfect, but

[7:41] for many it's pretty good

[7:45] >> as they look to their future while never

[7:47] forgetting their past. Bring us a dream.
