Channel 4 on my TV fades in and out throughout the day, what is happening?

I have a high quality, new TV that is HD ready. It is not connected to a cable service . The digital signal on channel 4 fades in and out throughout the day, leaving me without audio and a very fuzzy picture. I live within two miles of the station. Why is this happening? Will it continue in February?

Do cheerleaders travel with players?

I was in attendance to the men’s OSU vs. IOWA game on December 31; I was wondering if the cheerleaders from the other team, travel with the basketball players. Also, there were only about 20 members of the band, do they stay back from the fiesta bowl or do they fly out?

Why do the commercials keep saying hurry and order your coupons, but they are all out?

I keep seeing commericals to hurry and call to order my converter box, but they are out of them. So what should I do?

How can I negotiate my student loans?

Is there anyway to negotiate the amount owed on student loans?

Why are some schools in financial trouble?

I see a lot of commercials for the lotto and money for schools from proceeds, why are our schools in financial trouble with so much money going to them just from the lotto.

I keep hearing all these advertisements about how the schools benefit from people playing the lottery. If that’s true, then why the need for Tax Levy’s? What is the reason for all the schools being closed? Where is all the money going?

Does the statehouse have security cameras?

Does the state house have security cameras? How would a person request a review of a specific alleged incident? When a teacher takes 7 & 8 year old to the state house, should the teacher leave the supervision to the tour guide alone? Today my 8 yr. old grandson from Westfall Local went to see Nutcracker & the state house for a tour afterward. As he stood along the wall with several other kids (while his teacher apparently left them alone with tour guide) a highway patrolman approached & accused them all of dialing 911 on a public phone. Kristian does not know how to use a public phone, nor does he realize he wouldn’t need to put money in to dial 911. He told them he did not do it. (I have never seen him use any phone ever & we live on the same property - not a cell phone, home phone, & especially not a public phone (he would never have access). He got off the bus telling me they could put him on a lie detector test, but he did not do what they were blaming him for. Anyway, I called my daughter at work asking her to call his teacher. As soon as I hung up his teacher called asking for my daughter & I told her she was at work trying to call her right now because Kristian would not have lied, plus he doesn’t even know how to use a public phone. When my daughter got the school, they put her through to the principal & the teacher refused to speak to her until she insisted (even tho she had just called for her). They indicated because Kristian did not argue with the patrolman they believed he was guilty. Kristian told him he did not do it, but has been taught not to argue with a person of authority (that does not make him guilty). My question is this, 1st, where was the patrolman when he was notified that a call had been made, how long did it take him to get to the phones, how many people had passed by them in the interim? Why did he accuse several kids clearly on a field trip for the holidays (actually interrogate w/o a parent present) instead of reviewing security film to find out who dialed the call? Where was his teacher? When we don’t leave our children alone w/a tour guide when we travel, why is that appropriate? Since when are you guilty because you don’t argue with authority? Why would a teacher call asking for someone only to refuse to talk to them when they realize that same someone is trying to contact them? especially when they think their actions are correct? If a Westfall student did dial 911 (not Kristian) who is more guilty the teacher who is not supervising the 8 yr. old or the 8 yr. old? We trust them to stay with our children when we let them travel with them. Apparently all the kids are receiving in-school suspension, but since when is it OK to punish someone for nothing? when is it OK to punish someone for being near someone else who does something wrong? when is it OK to suspend (any type) a student for their first alleged crime? (especially when they did not do it, but are willing to take a lie detector test). When is it OK to put anything in anybodies permanent record stating they did something wrong when you are not sure they did so at all. They spelled his name wrong it is not Christian. They did not state he was suspected of something stating they weren’t sure which one of five done so, but state he was using a pay phone to dial 911 - how is it OK to ruin a child’s holiday fun when they probably have film they were too lazy to even look out before they approached the kids and the patrolman & the teacher would rather traumatize the innocent instead of punishing the guilty. Don’t you think the interrogation in front of so many schools is punishment enough - several of the children are innocent & are owed an apology from the school & the patrolman. Aren’t parent’s supposed to be present. Anyway, now my daughter will have to take to Superintendent’s office, so how do we see tapes? Child will not be punished when he did nothing wrong - he was already humiliated & entire day ruined. My oldest daughter is substitute teacher for Westfall - so I have nothing against schools, but there is right way & wrong way & just the fact that Ms. Jordan refused to talk to my daughter just because I told her she was also trying to reach her was ridiculous.

If I wear yellow panties, will it bring me luck?

On the 11pm newscast Tuesday December 30, 2008, Ellie and Colleen were discussing a New Years Eve tradition of wearing yellow panties inside out and putting on at midnight to give the person prosperity for the coming year. What country did this originate in? And did I get all the facts correct?

Did we lose channels from Time Warner?

Why does Time Warner have so many issues with TV stations and the other cable/Internet providers don’t seem to have these problems. Also, I think that the customers should be given more than 12 hour notice that we are losing stations, and does this mean that we will see a decrease in our bills?

Where can I recycle CDs and DVDs?

Is there anywhere in Franklin County that recycles CDs and DVDs?

What cable companies are around my area?

I would like to have someone investigate why Marysville has only one option for cable service. Time Warner Cable needs to have competition so we can get better services and prices in Marysville.

Who is the Snow Angel?

I saw a piece in the news today about the man named Sean Rogers aka snow angel, who got some homeless people hair cuts and shampoo’s. I’d like to know how to get in touch with him and maybe give a small donation to help him out.
