In recent months readers of the KSHN Radiogram have quoted our newssheet as if it was the full story. We should remind them the Radiogram was created 25 years ago to encourage listeners to our full-length newscasts on the radio. The Radiogram began long before the internet and is delivered daily, in Liberty and Dayton, to more than 100 local stores, offices, restaurants, and the hospital to urge readers to listen to KSHN for more details. Soon we hope to load each full story on-line. Meanwhile, we urge Radiogram readers to tune to FM 99.9 for more details. Full-length radio newscasts are on KSHN Monday through Saturday six times. 6:30 AM, 7:45AM, 10AM, 12:15 PM, 5:00PM, and 10:30 PM. Weather is hourly and local news headlines are also on but more details are only on those six times.
VOLUME 25 NO. 46 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2010 **************************************************** Deputies Shot: Liberty County Sheriff’s Deputies responding to a report of a disturbance in the Woodland Hills Subdivision early yesterday morning were fired on. The shooter, identified as 49-year-old Rickey Juneau, wounded two deputies, probably with a shotgun. One of those hit, Deputy Rex Evans, 40, managed to return fire as deputies retreated. Deputy Evans was treated and released from Memorial Hermann Hospital. Also injured was Deputy Jeremy Marcontel, who is reportedly in good spirits at the Houston Hospital in stable condition. Sgt. Michelle DeShotel was not hurt. Sheriff’s Spokesman Steve Greene said Rickey Juneau died of a gunshot wound. An autopsy will determine if the fatal wound came from Deputy Rex Evans or if it was self-inflicted. **************************************************** Commissioners: Liberty County Commissioners met Tuesday and discussed at length the new program that allows county employees to donate some of their accrued sick leave time to a pool. Other employees can then draw from the pool in the case of catastrophic injury or illness. Commissioners indicated for at least the first year they would like to increase the capped amount of hours that can be donated above the 24 hours called for now, to build up the pool hours. However, they wanted more information before changing the current capped amount. **************************************************** Unemployment: The Texas Workforce Commission is reporting unemployment in Liberty County climbed to 11.4% in January. That is 3,722 county residents who want to work that are without jobs, an increase of 81 from December. In Chambers County, the rate is 10.4 % or 113 more residents out of work than in December. While unemployment rates steadied nationally and statewide, more people found themselves without jobs locally. **************************************************** Bridgehaven Radio Auction: The Bridgehaven Children’s Advocacy Center will have a fundraising auction Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. to noon on KSHN Radio. The center serves the needs of child abuse victims.
