Parents Upset About Proposed School Closures

New Albany parents speak out at a school board meeting about the potential closure of four elementary schools. The school board announced last week the schools could close in effort to make up a $7 million budget crisis. Parents sounded of last night for four hours about the proposal. The board is set to vote Thursday night on a budget plan that recommends closing the Children's Academy of New Albany, Silver Street Elementary, Pine View Elementary and Galena Elementary. The school's superintendent also proposed moving fifth grade students and teachers to middle schools.

Cause Found in Silver Creek Plaza Fire

Electrical failure is ruled the cause of the fire at Silver Creek Plaza. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says an electrical failure in a junction box started the fire one week ago today. The box was located between the ceiling and the roof of the Alley Cat Lanes Bowling Alley. Several businesses and five apartments were destroyed in the blaze. Seven fire departments were called to fight the fire. There were no injuries.

New Albany Pharmacy Burglarized

Haven House in Jeffersonville has a new owner. The homeless shelter was auctioned by the IRS because of owed taxes. David Brown, owner of Kentuckiana Roofing, is the new owner, paying the minimum amount of just more than $7,800. With the purchase, Brown also agrees to take on the $81,000 mortgage. Brown plans to make repairs to the building, starting with a new roof. And he wants to keep the management in tact. Brown says the property isn't an investment for him. He says it as just the right thing to do.

DTV Viewing Tip!
Small adjustments to your antenna can make a big difference in the number of digital channels you can receive. If you have an indoor antenna, try elevating it and moving it closer to an exterior wall of your home. After adjusting your antenna, perform another channel scan to see if your reception is improved.

While adjusting your antenna, it may be helpful to access the "signal strength meter" on your digital-to-analog converter box or digital television to determine whether your adjustments are improving the signals' strength. The signal strength meter is usually accessed through the menu feature on your remote control. Refer to the owner's manual of your device for detailed instructions on how to access its signal strength meter. Remember to do another channel scan after you have adjusted your antenna.
