Take note

Pax alert For Pax TV fans who are tired of seeing the ghost of Larry Moore flickering in the background, good news: Time Warner Cable is moving KPXE off cable Channel 9, where many customers reported seeing interference from KMBC, the over-the-air Channel 9. KPXE can now be seen on cable Channel 16. The two channels will simulcast until Friday; then Time Warner will shut off Channel 9. Time Warner Cable is also introducing a new "Faith and Values" package Friday with six new religious and family-friendly networks joining Catholic channel EWTN. Existing digital customers will be upgraded at no cost; others wanting just these channels can get them for $2 a month plus normal cable fees. - Aaron Barnhart/The Star Still Monkee-ing around "StarGazing" coverboy Davy Jones had some additional quips during that interview in Florida. First, the 55-year-old is single again after ending a four-year relationship this winter. "It's a bit of a heartache to me, but I'll get through it." He's still friendly with both his ex-wives, the mothers of his four daughters, who range in age from 12 to 32. "The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." And he still thinks he can do it. Rock, that is. "I'm the only good-looking aging rock star left from the '60s." Jones, whose Monkees are touring again, said he's still amazed at the depth of fan passion for himself and the new breed of teen stars. He recently talked with Lou Pearlman, who developed 'N Sync, the Backstreet Boys and Natural, a boy band that's opening for the Monkees. "So, I'm talking to Lou about these kids, Natural, and the incredible phenomenon that was the Monkees, that is 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, and I say to him, 'Lou, when will all this end?' "And Lou says, 'When they stop making little girls.' " Flying machines The history of America's aviation pioneers has proved a durable subject. William Braznell looks at his father's history and the emergence of the airlines as commercially viable companies in An Airman's Odyssey: Walt Braznell and the Pilots He Led Into the Jet Age, a 229-page volume of text and photos published by the University of Missouri-Columbia and priced at $34.95. It's an interesting story of how air travel has evolved from the most dangerous to the safest form of mass transit. -John Mark Eberhart/The Star >>>
