Channel 10 volunteers reorganize —

Evergreen Community Television is no
more. ,

The community television society disbanded
last week, but organizers hope ils volimiteers
will continue fo work direetly with Channel
10. - .

Maria McGowan,
Channel 10 community coordinator, says two
groups of volunteers evolved separately and
will now be merged under one banner,

“It’s just one big happy family with Chan-
nel 10 now,”’ she said.

Former. Evergreen member ‘Norbert Harlig
predicted ‘the group could improve with the
change.

“IT think by dissolving it, it will probably

Skeena Broadcasters’

improve the direction, and possibly the quality
and training,”” Hartig said,

Evergreen simply didn’t have the resources

to carry out training of volunteers, he ex- -

plained.

“Evergrcen for the past year has provided a
focus for community television in Terrace,”
he said. “Now there's much more of a focus. I
think it’s achieved its purpose,” ,

. “T think Channel 10 can provide the leader-
_ Ship and-they have the resources of Skeena -

Broadcasters behind them.’’

McGowan says a big new volunteer drive is
underway to-kick off the fall season:

“We're tryiig to get the high schools in-

volved in covering some of the local sports,’”’
she said. ‘A lot of people are calling and have
a lot of ideas.””

Anyone can get involved, she: said, and ‘at
any level from interviewing and camera work
to editing and organizing.

You just need to be keen,”’ she said.

You don’t even have to borrow a Channel’
10 camera if you happen to have a camcorder

at home. McGowan says the tape can casily be
‘converted in studio from-8mm to VHS format.

“If you have footage from your handicam
that you think could be aired on Channel. 10,
send it in.’

Volunteers can get involved by. calling
