KREM 2 NEWS has decided not to air or post on KREM.com the 911 call Moscow Sniper Shooting victim Paul Bauer made seconds before he died. ...In the interest of full disclosure, I have to say I'm a sucker for baby pictures. While I'm quite thrifty in other areas involving discretionary spending, I've really blown it when it comes to getting pictures of my now 3-year-old and 1 & 1/2 year-old. ...
I like to eat away from home as much as the next person. Maybe more, except I don't dine out as often as I'd like because, a) I'm cheap; and b) my small children (ages 3 & 18 months) don't always make the best dining companions. And I'll still eat out, despite, or maybe because of, what I learned, during hours and hours (okay, days) of pouring over 282 restaurant inspection reports from businesses, churches & schools throughout Spokane ...
KREM 2 NEWS has decided to greatly limit the use of the video and still pictures from the manifesto of the Virginia Tech gunman. ...
If you've watched KREM 2 NEWS over the last two days, you've noticed our new digital studio and new graphics, but may not have heard the reasons behind the change. ...
I've gotten several emails over the last few months about why our coverage of the WSU men's basketball team hasn't matched our coverage of Gonzaga's team. ...Our Two on Your Side investigation found 159 complaints against Spokane County's 911 system over a 2-year period, from November, 2004 to November, 2006. About half the complaints were verified. The system's director showed us numbers indicating complaints last year made up .0001 of all calls. That's one ten-thousandth of one percent. Very tiny. But if one of those complaints is yours, and it's a valid complaint, the number looms larger.... Everyone in the KREM 2 Newsroom knew well in advance Friday morning was going to be very busy. However, even with planning, sometimes it takes a little luck to successfully cover a wind storm this big. ...This is your opportunity to tell how you feel VA medical centers are being run, whether enough is being done to help veterans or what needs to happen. ...Assistant Chief Schaeffer will post answers to your questions on the SFD Organization and Incidents.

As a result, she says her bank account was hit for $226 for what was supposed to be a 30-day free trial. This isn't the first time we've heard this kind of thing (via phone & e-mail to Two on Your Side), and the government has plenty of complaints against satellite TV providers. Washington's Attorney General's office has about... Two on Your Side recently did a story with a Colbert man who showed us how the Spokane County Assesssor's office made a mistake on his property information that's cost him hundreds of dollars, maybe more. ...Two on Your Side recently did a story about a woman who thought she'd made a love connection online, but instead, found a fraud. She met a man on Yahoo! Personals who said initially he lived in California, but later admitted he was in Nigeria. That's red flag #1. With so many scams emanating from the West African nation, the man's location should have been the first tip-off. "John" sent our viewer a check for $48 thousand. Our viewer to... Remember your first paycheck? No matter how small it was (or still is), it was good to look at those digits knowing you'd earned them with every hour you spent on the job. That's the way many of us started learning about money. We had to earn it before we could bank it. Two on Your Side recently investigated cheap gas, and whether it's worthwhile to save money buying generic fuel, or if you need to spend 10 extra cents a gallon by buying branded gasoline. ...Saturday April 1 we will set our clocks ahead one hour before we go to bed Saturday night. That means we'll get an extra hour of daylight to enjoy. Temperatures are now trending above 50 degrees and overnight lows have mostly stayed above freezing. So Spring in the inland northwest is progressing nicely. Just a couple of reminders though. Now is a good time to start clearing out all the dead plants and leaves from your yard. A good ferti... |
