    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — As the Chambers Brothers said back in late 1967, “Time Has Come Today.” News 12’s Dave Staley has had that song on his mind all day long. And there’s a good reason for that! Here’s tonight’s “More to the Story with Staley!”So, day is done. Gone the sun. Time to put a cap on my local broadcasting career. What a treat it’s been. I started my career out west, in news. Then coming to Chattanooga, to do sports, for over 35 years. One of the best moves I ever made.

    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — The updated COVID-19 booster shot is now becoming available. Although not every outlet that usually supplies the shot has it yet.

    TRION, Ga. (WDEF) — For animal lovers willing to take a short ride to Trion, Georgia this weekend, “Alpaca Farm Days” is waiting for you. “Wonkey The Donkey, Axel Rose and Itty-Bitty” would love to see you. It’s a sanctuary, owned and operated by Maryann Marsh and her husband Marty. That’s “Cowboy” to most who know him.

    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Our area is well known as a great place to enjoy the sport of fishing. But for one teacher here in Chattanooga, he’s taken his love of fishing to an entirely different level. “The fish provides the detail. Some people say oh, you painted the teeth in. And I say no: it’s the fish.”Matt Monahan is a teacher at Chattanooga Christian School and he’s an avid fisherman. About ten years ago, Matt took his love of that sport to a higher level.
