Return to Story IndexFIRE STATION CLOSING
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER RUDI RAYNES HAS MORE ON WHY THE CITY SAYS THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. CABELL FRANKLIN LIVES TUCKED AWAY IN A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD IN SOUTH HILLS. JUST A FEW MINUTES AWAY FROM THE CHARLESTON FIRE DEPARTMENT'S STATION ON BRIDGE ROAD. SO FRANKLIN ISN'T HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THE POSSIBLE CLOSURE OF THAT STATION AS WELL AS ANOTHER. 40:03 i don't think it'd be a good idea, i feel it's not very necessary and since it's already up here might as well elave it 29:04 we need to combine the two fire stations on the hill. oakwood road and bridge road. oakwood road fire station, we're going to have to close anyway. because it's condemned MAYOR JONES SAYS THERE IS A HIRING FREEZE ON THE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND STATIONS 3 AND 5 NEED TO BE COMBINED. 29:38 is that going to cause any layoffs for firemen? no. oh well it will through attrition. we had planned to cut nine positions. the fire dept doesnt wanna close like to keep amount we have CHIEF RODNEY WINTER SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE BUDGET IS TIGHT BUT HIS DEPARTMENT STILL NEEDS FIREFIGHTERS ON THE FRONT LINES. "We actually need to hire. What we're hoping is we stay budgeted for the same amount of personnel even if we do a station consolidation." AND MORE THAN ANYTHING WINTER SAYS WHEREVER THE NEW DEPARTMENT IS PUT THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN STILL HAVE A GOOD RESPONSE TIME TO ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. "We will strive to do everything we can to get there in the least amount of time we can. It's just a given when they consolidate a station and moves it further out of the response district it's going to take a little longer to get there." 38:27 i'm kinda worried about it being further away .... 37:22 i think it'll affect the area of south hills THE CITY IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PROPERTY FOR THE NEW STATION, ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES IS ON CANTLEY DRIVE. CHIEF WINTER SAYS ANYWHERE THAT GIVES QUICK ACCESS TO THE CORRIDOR OR THE HILL AREAS WILL BE THE BEST OPTION.

Return to Story IndexALICE IN WONDERLAND
IN TODAY'S SCREEN GEMS, EYEWITNESS NEWS ENTERTAINMENT REVIEWER KENNIE BASS GOES DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE TO TELL US ABOUT THE NEWEST VERSION OF "ALICE IN WONDERLAND." Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Don't let the title fool you. This is not the "Alice in Wonderland" you are probably familiar with. Instead, it's sort of a sequel. Set 13 years after 6-year old Alice visited a brand new world, this story stars Mia Wasikowska as a 19-year old Alice. Asked for her hand in marriage by a man she doesn't love, Alice leaves the party and finds herself once again in Wonderland. But she doesn't remember her previous adventures. And many of the residents aren't sure she's the right Alice. But Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter has no doubt. CLIP Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Alice has been called back to Wonderland to deal with Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen. She rules with an iron fist. Forced to visit her castle to try to save a captured Mad Hatter, Alice comes face to face with the tyrant. CLIP Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: There are many things to like about this movie. Director Tim Burton certainly has a unique way of presenting his often twisted vision and this is no exception. Wonderland is a weird and wacky place filled with memorable characters. But the script and a couple of the performances are lacking. There isn't much substance to the story, and you will either love or be annoyed by Depp. His makeup and costume are over the top and I didn't really like the Hatter's voice. Alice is another weak spot. Wasikowska's performance is flat. At times she looks uninterested in the whole affair. On the plus side, there is some great voice work here. My favorite is Stephen Fry's Cheshire Cat. He steals every scene he's in. But whether you call it Wonderland, or Underland as it's referred to in the film, it just doesn't have the magic and the zing that I was expecting. On my rating scale, "Alice In Wonderland" earns a double. The spectacular visuals aren't enough to save a lackluster story. You can see it in high definition in the Charleston area at Marquee Cinemas at Southridge and in Huntington at Pullman Square. For Screen Gems I'm Kennie Bass. Enjoy the show. "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" IS RATED "PG" FOR FANTASY ACTION-VIOLENCE INVOLVING SCARY IMAGES AND SITUATIONS, AND FOR A SMOKING CATERPILLAR. YOU CAN READ ALL OF KENNIE'S SCREEN GEMS REVIEWS ON OUR WEBSITE AT WVAH DOT COM. NOW YOU CAN WIN TWO TICKETS TO THE MOVIE OF YOUR CHOICE. THE ELEVENTH CALLER AT 866-831-0811 WINS A PAIR OF PASSES TO MARQUEE CINEMAS AT SOUTHRIDGE OR HUNTINGTON'S PULLMAN SQUARE.
