[CHANNEL 68] 1/17/2017

1/17/2017

 
​*The familiar static of the channel changing as it tunes into the one and only Local SP CH 68 news team.  It starts with Jeannie Webb, wearing a Cheerleading outfit and holding pom-poms in one hand while her mic is in the other, behind her two-dozen similarly dressed cheerleaders sit in the grandstands of an auditorium.*

Jeannie: “…And it’s finally been decided that the Big East Cheer Camp and Championship competition will be hosted by the Bay Area Tri-City College!”

*She turns and Goes “WHOOOOOO!!!!” Waving the pom-poms and the Cheerleaders in the stand all bounce up like they are on bungee cords and echo the “WHOOOOO!!!!” cheering and hooting in celebration.*

Jeannie: “Conference and nonconference competitions will travel here everything from grades Seven on up to College will come, compete and show off what they got.  But I know my girls will give ‘em a run for their money and show ‘em who’se best!”

*Again the Group erupts in cheers and jumps and surrounds Jeannie to ham it up a bit for the camera in a cascade of White, Green and Blue Poms. As the camera cuts back to the news center with Raymond Wages sitting at the desk*

Raymond: “I look forward to seeing all they got Jeannie.” *he turns to look at center camera* “We will have highlights from the competition once it begins to keep you all updated on just what these girls got.

*He adjusts a couple of papers on the desk and turns back to the original camera off center*

Raymond: “Resident attorney Alfred Gloom has filed an appeal with the Maine Supreme court concerning the local council hearings on allegations of misconduct.  Gloom previously filed a complaint that the township council improperly conducted a preliminary investigation of misconduct in his position as township councilor.  The Regional Superior justice previously denied the complaint.  Gloom was removed from the council when preliminary findings indicated he had acted in a manner unbefitting a councilor of the township in accepting funds, maintaining records and claims of inappropriate advances towards Township employees.  It is unknown at this time if the Supreme Court will hear the complaint or dismiss it.”

*He turns back towards center camera and smiles*

Raymond:  “Wilbert Woods has today off, so here is Tammi Bean with this week’s weather.” *He really does a good job hiding the grimace that wants to show on his features* “Tammi what can we expect from Jack Frost this week?”

*The camera cuts to Tammi Bean standing in front of the Weather screen.  Today wearing a sports jacket and short skirt, she doesn’t seem to be wearing any shirt underneath the jacket and it must be by the grace of some deity that those two buttons holding it closed stay fastened. She flashes a big grin and waves to the camera.*

Tammi: “HIIII Everybody! Well I don’t know Jack, but the Frost is going to be coming.  Thankfully not today!”

*She turns like Vana White to Wave her hand over the screen behind her and grins as the Week’s numbers show.  Tuesday with a 32° / 20° Showing Sunshine and then Flurries scattered at night.  Wednesday with a 32° / 26° listing showing rain turning into Snow at night.*

Tammi: “As you can see on the magic screen here we have lots of sun fading to clouds today which will eventually turn into scattered snowflakes tonight.  Reaching a high of Thirty-Two Little….”

*She blinks and seems to read the prompter screen and then looks off camera*

Tammi: “Where’s the little circles?”  *She listens* “No…I know there’s little circles…they were SUPER important since every number had them…even on the big screen they have them…I made sure…double sure that I mentioned them because they were super important!”

*She listens to something else from off screen*

Tammi: “For the last time I don’t know why you keep mentioning Degrassi! What you think the little circles are too good for me? You just want me to look like an idiot by not mentioning the little circles!  Come here!”

*She scampers off stage and a loud noise can be heard before the mic cuts out showing the remainder of the week with Thursday Cloudy with snow showers expected a high of 37° and a low of 27°, Friday showing Scattered clouds and sun with a high of 38° and low of 28°, Saturday Cloudy and overcast with a High of 39° and low of 27°, Sunday still cloudy with a high of 37° and low of 24°, Monday, however, is flagged as being freezing rain and high winds with a High of 36° and low of 30°.*

*The camera cuts back to Raymond at the desk looking sideways and wincing as another crash sounds*
Raymond: “Well while they get that sorted out.  Scallop season is off and going in the bay area.  And it seems to be off to a great start as local harvesters are bringing in record catches these past Five weeks since it opened…”

*In the foreground the intern, Kyler Victors, can be seen running across in front of the camera being chased by Tammi carrying what looks like a boom microphone menacingly*

Tammi: “Stop running I’m going to make your little circle a big Degrassi circle!”

*Another crash as they move out of camera and Raymond winces, shaking his head slightly as the screen splits showing Dean Knopinski standing pier side with several boats preparing to head out*

Raymond: “It’s amazing she can move so fast in those heels…anyway, Dean Knopinski has the story on the scallops this season, many of which may just be headed for your table.  Dean.”

Dean: “Remind me sometime to explain the running in heels thing to you Ray.  But yes…despite the inclimate weather and ice scalloping boats like these behind me have been bringing in record catchers.  Not just that but shallow water fishermen have been able to bring in nets full of the maritime favorite.  According to the Department of Marine Resources, when fishermen have been able to get off the mooring, they have been seeing good landings. With snow, bitter temperatures and howling winds increasingly causing difficulties, it’s a good sign for this winter and the next season at the end of spring.”

*Without warning somebody shouts, the camera shakes as he moves but catches what looks like a grimy nasty soaked net with a metal bar on the bottom swinging into view and Dropping on top of Dean…Some muddy remnants of hubcaps, bottles, rocks and so on that they were getting ready to clean lands right on top of him…entangling his arms and lifting him up into the air as the boom swings around and holding him suspended…he seems to try to let go only to find his ankle hooked in the bottom and ending up swinging around upside down from the boom as the gears grind and it locks up holding him a good 20 feet up off the pier waving his arms and shouting.  Thankfully he dropped the mic otherwise who knows what may come out of his mouth*

Raymond: “Ouch…Well I’m sure he’ll be alright…Remember scallops are a mollusk that lives on the bottom of the sea bed so fishermen and even shallow harvesters have to sort them out from things like rocks and other things that have settled on the bottom of the ocean.”

*He shuffles his papers again and faces Camera center*

Raymond: “Up next…Could all the public facility buildings on the island be going Solar?  And what does this mean for not only property values, but your own energy costs. That plus Kaylynn Garcia will have a report on what you can expect for future ferry service, as well as the new head of the local Nursing Council will tell us what she expects to get done with her first term.  All that and more after these messages from….”

*He’s cut off again as Tammi and Kyler go charging around behind him this time she’s wielding what looks like a selfie stick like a Samurai warrior and nearly takes Raymond’s head off with a wild swing as she runs on past, some viewers may notice her jacket is no longer buttoned, thankfully the way she’s swinging that stick around in front of her keeps anything from being seen fully*

Raymond: “….our sponsors….”

*Cut to commercials.*
