Buckling Roads and Oil Leak/Gas Prices May 25, 2010

We’ve got TWO Good Questions coming up for you tonight at six — both are pretty timely. First, we’re looking into the road buckling that’s been going on over the last few days.  Obviously, this isn’t a new phenomena here in our area.  We know when it gets hot, these things happen.  But why do [...]

What’s your work schedule? April 22, 2010

Our Good Question segment has been off for a bit — management has been busy shuffling around schedules because people are off…and sometimes that means we have to set aside a lighter segment like this, so we can cover the day’s news. Hopefully, I’ll be back this Tuesday with a Good Question for you! This [...]

To Care or Not to Care… March 2, 2010

I did a fun story last night about a Merrimac man (Missouri native), Ben Nelms, who took his love for Brett Favre to a whole new level.  He took out a full-page, color ad in the Hattiesburg American newspaper on Monday…our estimate is that he paid $2,000-$3,000 for the ad.  It’s an open-letter of sorts [...]

Is it Toyota or Toyoda? February 24, 2010

It’s no secret to anyone…Toyota has been in the news a lot lately. Have you noticed the name of Toyota’s president?  He’s appeared on newscasts several times…mostly in making statements about Toyota’s recent recall problems.  His name is Akio Toyoda.  There’s no typo there — his last name is spelled with a “d” rather than [...]

The Favre Factor: Who Did You Root For? January 25, 2010

I don’t know about you…but I had a heck of a time in front of the television last night.  The Saints/Vikings game was a good one…but even though the first half, I didn’t know who to root for. In the interest of full disclosure … let me first say that I’m in a football pool, [...]

What Makes a Good Question? January 13, 2010

A good friend of mine, Eric, asked me a great question a few weeks ago.  He lives in Milwaukee, but still keeps up with my segment online.  He asked, “What makes a Good Question?” What a great question.  But it’s a really hard one to answer.  However, I think I’ll answer it two ways. First [...]

New Year’s Resolutions December 30, 2009

It’s been a while since I last updated this blog…thanks for sticking with me, though!  I’m making it one of my New Year’s resolutions to give you more regular updates to Good Questions! Speaking of that…here’s a Good Question for you…what are your thoughts on New Year’s resolutions?  Do you make them….do you follow them…are [...]

A-maze-ing Corn Maze! September 29, 2009

The nice folks at Skelly’s Farm Market in Janesville were kind enough to show us how they create their amazing corn maze. And by amazing…I mean AMAZING!  You’ll have to check out my story, but let’s that 21- year old Scott Skelly…the youngest in the Skelly family…is in charge of doing the farm’s corn maze [...]

Swine Flu vs. H1N1 September 15, 2009

Apparently our state legislature wants to step in, and tell the public and the media what we should call the latest flu virus that’s circulating the globe.  Here’s a story from the Associated Press today: MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin state representative doesn’t want swine flu to be called swine flu.    Democratic state [...]

Publicizing Speed Traps September 1, 2009

I did a “Good Question” today about speed enforcement events…we commonly call them “speed traps,” although police don’t like us to call them that.   They say they’re not “trapping” or forcing anyone to speed…they’re just enforcing the law.  Point well taken.  Anyway… Our story today focuses on why police, as of recently, are publicizing the [...]
