WAFX TO GO OFF AIR TO REPAIR ANTENNA

NORFOLK - WAFX radio, 106.9 on the FM dial and known as The Fox, will go off the air for several hours starting at 7 a.m. Sunday to repair damage to its antenna from an ice storm in December.

The rock music station said it expects to be back on the air sometime Sunday afternoon, kicking off with "Turn it on Again," a song by Genesis.

The district includes the cities of Newport News, Williamsburg and Poquoson and the counties of York and James City.

PHONE SOLICITORS PROMPT COMPLAINTS

HAMPTON - The city's police department has been inundated with queries and complaints about telephone solicitors claiming to be police officers, said Chief Pat G. Minetti.

"The solicitors in these campaigns are stating or implying that the Hampton Police Department is supporting the soliciting of contributions for various activities. This is not true," Minetti said.

He said inquiries have come from businessmen, a city councilman and citizens. "We are not sponsoring, endorsing or authorizing any solicitation campaigns," Minetti said.

It is a violation of the city code for a person to misrepresent himself as a city police officer.

The complaints have prompted at least one organization to stop its solicitation effort.

"Because I was made aware of the inquiries or complaints, the police union has stopped its solicitation," said Cpl. Jon P. Decker, a detective and president of the Hampton chapter of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers. "We simply called the company we were using and told them to quit," Decker said.

Decker said there are several other law enforcement organizations seeking money for various projects.

Decker also urged people to question anyone who tries to solicit money. "Ask them who do you represent and ask for a phone number so you can call and verify the information. They need to ask those questions," he said.
