EVERGREEN COMMUNITY TELEVISION's president Norbert
Hartig: "We would like to provide opportunities for the community to”

with handi-cams who videotape
local events. With the editing and
post-production equipment that is
available, this videotape could be
utilized in a production. The prem-
ise is to have the whole commun-
ity group involved in the process,
he continued.
As far as the technical aspect of
the ECT, the society itself does not
own any equipment. It will rely
heavily upon both Skeena Broad-
casters and Northwest Community
College. There is a large studio in

Carwash Rock solved

The infamous Carwash Rock on
Hwy. 16W will finally be tamed.
The Ministry of Highways has
decided to cage the rock to prevent
ice from falling on passing motor-
ists. Prince Rupert area Highways
manager and Carwash project
manager, Jeff Wiseman, says ten-
ders close on Aug. 18 ai 2 p.m.
The job: invoives putting,“ little
more than 200 square meters of
the rock behind two layers of 11
gauge Gabien mesh. He explains

that the mesh will follow the con-
tours of the rock, two feet from
the surface, and will be anchored
at the bottom in order to catch
falling ice. Wiseman says the
ministry has looked at a number of
possible solutions, but this one
looks by far the best. Only time
will tell, though, if the rock and
ice can really be contained. The
completion date for the project has
been set at Oct. 10 this year.

_ Expensive fish

Plans are well underway for
operations to begin on a local
community television venture.
Evergreen Community Television
is a media, service that will air
local events in both Terrace and
Kitimat. This "first" form of cable
broadcasting will be heavily depen-
dent upon public input — in all
areas of production. The initial
broadcast is slated for the first
week in October.

The Evergreen Community Tele-
vision Society is a legally estab-
lished entity, created in enhance
and facilitate the development of
the non-profit venture. The first
board of directors include Thomas
Walker, Robert Jones, Norbert
Hartig and Kevin Barnard, all
Terrace residents, and. from Kiti-
mat, Clive Hall and Frederick
Stowell.

"We would like to provide op-
portunities for the community to
participate in all aspects of our
operation — camera use, editing,
production, technical and non-
technical aspects such as fund
raising, legal work and artistic
input," says ECT president Norbert
Hartig.

Specifically, the siated goals of
the ECT are as follows:

+ To form a non profit organization
which would facilitate and bring to
fruition programming and sponsor-
ship of programming for commun-
ity television.

* Provide the training on the use
and care of equipment and basic
production skills.

* To solicit ihe volunteer involve-

ment of various local groups and
educational institutions to develop
sustainable community program-
ming.

¢ To schedule both the airing of
taped and live productions on the
community channel in cooperation
with Skeena Cablevision’s existing
schedule,

* Create a higher awareness of

community activities in the North-.

west including cultural, educa-
tional, public affairs, community,
entertainment and sports.
* Tie the regional community
groups together utilizing produc-
tion facilities for the editing and
production of programming.
Hartig explains that there is a
vast amount of talent in this area
and that this is a great opportunity
to "draw out much of this talent".

Due to its non-profit nature; and

limited funds, there will not be any
hired staff aside from existing
faculty, Hartig continued. As a

‘result, the majority of work will be

voluntary.

"In a small community, I think
that people have a strong sense of
participating. The spirit is certainly
here. I would like to see this ven-
ture totally community driven.”

The ECT will have a "very close
parinership" with Skeena Hroad-
casters, Hartig says. The use of
equipment and programming will
in part, come from Skeena Broad-
casters. Hartig explains that the
CRTC sets the regulations for
broadcasts, and because Skeena
Broadcasters holds the license,
ECT must abide by those regula-
tions. According to Kevin Barnard
of Skeena Broadcasters, program-

which is home of ECT. Facilitics
borrowed from the college include
the necessary media and post-pro-
duction equipment. A satellite
owned by the Ministry of
Advanced Education is also avail-

able to the ECT. Eventually, Hartig

would like to have the technical
ability to establish a physical link
between Terrace and Kitimat. —

The funding aspect of the Ever-
green Community Television
Society is still in its initial stages.
Donations are more than welcome,
and memberships will be promoted
at a nominal fee of $5. Sponsor-
ship from business and industry
would also be greatly appreciated,
Hartig added. There is also a grant
from the Koemer Foundation that
ECT will be looking into.

Hartig points out the possibilities
for multicultural programs being
aired on. ECT. "I can sce,an excel-
lent opportunity for native people
to enlighten us with their culture."
Other programming might include
a monthly review of community
highlights, a "person of the month"
feature, and local sports tourna-
ments,

The ECT is premised upon the
idea that a cable channel in smaller

communities can be driven by the }

people within it. The programming

will be based on the preference of |

the public, and eventually, Harlig
would like to see the formation of
a program committee that could
meet weekly to discuss broadcast
proposals.

If people know of events that
they would like to have aired, or
are interested in helping out the
ECT, they are invited to contact
any of the society’s directors or
Skeena Broadcasters.

‘conservation officer Glen Slater, a

few native indians are telling the
general public in the Terrace area

that it is legal and their right to-

sell fish. But Slater warns that it is
highly illegal and could be very
expensive if you are non-native
and found to be in possession of
fish caught for the native food
fishery.
