Freezing Freeland.

This girl, Alicia Weaver was killed about a month ago in Hazelton. I went out to Freeland with Jim and Mike to report on the guy who allegedly shot her. Ben Westbrook was the guy who police think shot and killed her. Jim and I went to cover in in Freeland where it was about 50 below zero! We waited pretty much all day in and out of the police station waiting for Ben and the DA's to do interviews. It was a longgg day to say the least! It was interesting though to see how the procedures go.

Raining cats and dogs!

Today was a freak out at the station! If there is a inch of rain then the world is ending! That is how it felt today in the station. This picture was sent in today of just one of the many areas in that got flooded today. I ended up staying in to help answer the phones. It was crazy to hear everyone call in to cancel school and after school activities. It was a good experience to help out!

Hot Hot Hot!!!

 Today I went with Jim and Nick to report on a big fire that happened about an hour away. What makes this fire so different is that most of these homes are connected so it makes it more difficult to put out. Four houses  were effected. Twelve people came out homeless. Having to cover a fire one should always look for the fire chief.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

A day at the station

Today was an easy day at the station. I sat up at the assignment desk and helped answer phones and watched Dave do his thing. I forgot how busy it gets here! I'm always out with the reporters and I was a little rusty answering the phones...but i'd say after the 10th call I was back in action!

My first robbery!

Tonight was the first. I went with Keith to White Haven where the PNC bank got robbed. Since I've been at the station I never covered a robbery before. Of course it was raining and 3 hours later we finally got sounds but I LOVEEEE IT! After that we went to Wilkes-barre where a gas station also got robbed. Tonight was just full of bad stuff! I learned that patience is a virtue!

What an amazing experience to witness!

This is Dale Kridlo...He was apart of the U.S army were he died Nov.7th while serving his country. They had a huge ceremony held in West Pittston. What an amazing experience! I was able to be there while they did a parade of motorcycles, cop cars, firemen, and other soldiers to celebrate his life. He will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I love being apart of this station!

I should of listened to my spanish teacher.

I was in Hazleton today with a new reporter Jim and one of my favorite photographers Mike. There was a murder that happened in the area. And I found out that the neighborhood we were going to was mostly Spanish....and that I would of been a big help ifffff I actually listened to my Spanish teacher. It was very interesting to see an investigation in place. I really like doing trial and court stories. I learned a lot of how to interview!
