On Wednesday the 11th, the high school will be turned over to the construction crews for a mad 10 week dash to complete all of the remaining renovation projects. The CG Schmidt crews have done a great job working around the over 2, 000 daily occupants of the building.
The Cable studio had been operating with a temporary wall since February which is making everything a little tight. Soon the cement floor will be in and the wall will come down. Then the major cleanup starts. A lot of delicate equipment is going to need some tender, loving dusting.
On the 16th of June they will be turning off the power to the old section of the buildings to upgrade the systems, electrical, security and networking. They are providing power to the cable access server and playback units. That way channel 14 will remain on the air during the 2 week power outage. New shows produced in the studios will however be on hold until after the temporary wall comes down.
Meanwhile we will pick up the slack with several community events, including the Optimist Club Independence Day parade, the summer Concerts in the Park, a high school baseball game, and some "Remote" editions of Village Voices and Reel Movie Talk.
COMING UP ON CHANNEL 14
Little League Weekend...Yes, we are going to run them again. Back in '91, '92 and '93, in it's infancy, I went overboard and taped 72 Menomonee Falls Little League games, with 2 cameras, graphics and some with announcers. Well a few of those players back then now have their own children in T-Ball or older divisions. It's always fun to see your banker, doctor or child's teacher back when all they cared about was the team snack. It's also fun to see current friends and acquaintances before you knew them. They always spark conversation and it's sad to see them justing sitting there on the shelf. So sit back for a marathon of little league at it's best, the weekend of June 27th thru the 29th. Play Ball!
FOCUS on Our Children....The final shows of the school year spend time with Booster Club/Capital Campaign Committee and our 2 new School Board Members.
As Always.....STAY TUNED!
