With the upcoming elections for Menomonee Falls Village Trustee and SDMF School Board Member, voters can find a candidate forum for either election on Falls Cable Access.  The PTSA sponsored forum from March 5th at the Community Center is currently airing at least once each day.  The four candidates for board positions are Ron Bertieri, Michael Dillhyon Jr., Gina Palazzari and Blasé Paul.  There are 2 seats open on the board.

In the contest for Village Trustee, incumbent Sharon Ellis and Jefferson Davis are running for Seat 1 on the Village Board while incumbent Dennis Farrell and Ron Bertieri are seeking Seat 3.  Seat 2 has incumbent Jim Jeskewitz running unopposed.  The Chamber of Commerce and Falls Cable Access are sponsoring a Candidates Forum on March 11th at the Cable Studio.  The forum starts at 6:30 pm and is open to the public.  This forum will also air daily until election day.

TOTAL INFO comes to Menomonee Falls

Although the Community Bulletin Board has become a handy avenue for information in Menomonee Falls, the need for up to the minute news and info has become apparent.  The company that manufactures our server equipment has from day one taken suggestions on how to improve programming and Total Info answers that call.  Now after every program you will get a mix of our community bulletin board and up to the minute weather, traffic, news, sports, entertainment news, and soon financial reports.  As this blog is being written they have taken another suggestion of mine to break up the segments by time.  Soon we will run traffic reports from 6:30 am to 8:30 am only while sports news will only run later in the evenings. 

It is our hope at Channel 14 that we continue to change the viewing habits for cable access in Menomonee Falls. The new software will also help keep the schedule more current and give certain shows regular time slots.  Check out Total Info today.
