In Memoriam...

Tue, 05/18/2021 - 23:37 -- Patrick

We lost a member of our Board of Directors last week. Don Richardson of Mount Holly, who served as Vice President, passed away. Not only was he involved with our organization but also with many others. He gave back through his volunteerism, and his passing leaves a void in the community. 

Prior to the pandemic, Don began to organize recordings of his square dancing group for TV, in collaboration with the Black River Academy Museum.  Unfortunately, as with nearly everything, that was put on hold over the last 15 months. Also, Don was profesionally involved with energy efficiency and weatherization, and as part of his role on our Board,  was serving as a liaison with Efficiency Vermont, so that we could get consultation as we prepare for the next phase of renovations in our facility. In Don's honor, we will see to it that both of these are brought to fruition -  square dancing on TV and maximizing our weatherization potential.

He will be missed.

Divided Sky Foundation

On April 12th, the Ludlow Development Review Board held a hearing on the planned substance use disorder treatment center from Divided Sky Foundation. The Foundation, founded by Trey Anastasio, purchased the former Green Mountain at Fox Run property, which would house the center. This is the recording of that hearing, which was held remotely by video conference.

Going Live (Two at a Time)

Fri, 04/09/2021 - 23:46 -- Patrick


As we've been reporting (and as some as you may have been noticing) we have been doing more & more with live broadcasting & streaming. So far, this has mostly been with government meetings, high school sports, and some other community events. And now, for the first time ever, we're producing two live broadcasts and live streams at once. On Monday, April 12th, we are providing the following live coverage:

Ludlow Development Review Board at 6pm - televising live on the Education / Government channel & live streaming on our You Tube channel

* This is the regular monthly meeting, for which we provide "gavel-top-gavel" coverage. It is being held remotely, by video conference, and includes the hearing on the planned substance use treatment facility from Divided Sky Foundation. 

Plymouth Town Meeting at 7pm- televising on the Community Access channel & live streaming on our You Tube channel


* this is the annual Town Meeting, which was postponed from March. It is being held in a"hybrid" format (part in-person / part remote, over video conference), and we will be handling all of the media & tech services

Seasonal Photos Wanted

Mon, 03/29/2021 - 19:16 -- Patrick

We asked, and several of you abided. We received some great local & seasonal photographs (as well as video clips). You, too, can send us your seasonal photos & clips from around the region, and we will put them to use  - whether on the community calendar / TV bulletin board, here on the website, on social media, or even in video programming. You will receive photo credit for anything you send us. Simply send your work along in an email.  Here is a montage of some recent submissions featuring local seasonal scenes. Thank you to the following photographers: (clockwise, starting from upper left): George Thomson, Stefan Beaumont, Kathy Ehlers (x2), & Julianna Harris. 

 

Playoffs & Live Streaming

Thu, 03/18/2021 - 23:27 -- Patrick

We've been covering Green Mountain Union High School basketball this season. We are live streaming the games on our You Tube channel. Some of the games are being broadcast live (including THIS Saturday's boys' playoff game at 2PM on our Community channel) , and all of the games are archived for viewing, here on the website. Playoffs started this week. Thanks to Norm Merrill for running the camera for each game, which frees us up to focus on the various technical components of the live streaming & broadcasts. And thanks to our newest staff member, Sarah Devereux, for being there to help with this effort. 

And speaking of streaming.. thanks to a recent major upgrade from VTel, we now have lighting-fast internet, capable of supporting all of that.....you guessed it, streaming. More to come in that department. Stay tuned! In the meantime, have an event that you want to live broadcast and/or stream, or an idea for another show? Get in touch!

Town Meeting Coverage

Sat, 02/27/2021 - 11:11 -- Patrick

  

It's been an unusual year, to say the least, and Town Meeting is par for the course. Some Towns are holding their informational meetings entirely remotely, while others are offering a "hybrid" format. We have and/or will be covering the Town informational meetings for Ludlow, Cavendish, Andover, Mount Holly, and Plymouth. 

We also have the school annual informational meetings for the Green Mountain, Ludlow-Mount Holly, Mill River Unified School Districts, and River Valley Technical Center, which were each held remotely over the past week. Thanks to our partners at SAPA-TV for providing us with the coverage of the meeting from the technical center. 

All Town and School District meetings can be viewed here on our website and will be televised on our Education / Government channel through Town Meeting Day (Tuesday, March 2nd), with the exception of Plymouth, which will be held on Monday, Arpil 12th. Regularly-scheduled programming will be pre-empted for a steady rotation of Town & School District meetings. Be sure to check our Schedules page to find out which meeting is on when (click on the Education / Government channel link) to check daily schedules.
