Thanks to a recent grant from e-Vermont, via the Ludlow Community Broadband project, LPCTV has 3 new digital video camcorders for community use. New cameras were long-needed and will replace the Canon GL1 cameras that have been in constant use since 2001.

The new additions are Canon VIXIA High Definition cameras that record onto internal hard drives. They can also record onto solid state flash memory cards. Bye, bye tape!

While the cameras are available for community use now, they also will be an integral piece to the enhanced training opportunities in LPCTV's planned new facility. Plans include a "Digital Learning Center" classroom, where group workshops in digital video making will be provided, from "concept to completion".

"The cameras we purchased with this e-Vermont grant help us stay current with where the industry is and where it's headed, so there can be more value to the training we are able to provide", notes Executive Director Cody. Fundraising is well underway for the renovation project. For more information on LPCTV's expansion plans, contact Patrick Cody.

Thank you Brian Jewett, Lisa Schmidt, Fred Marin, & Michelle Stinson for working out in the cold, building & painting LPCTV's winter carnvial snow sculpture.

   Notice anything new with the coverage of the Black River basketball games lately?  Volunteer cameraman extraordinaire Bruce Perry has been joined by Bruce Schmidt, who is doing play-by-play commentary. We put a call out, trying to get Mr. Perry some support out in the field, and Bruce Schmidt rose to the occasion. Team Bruce & Bruce is helping to keep the community connected to Black River sports through LPCTV.

And we certainly appreciate it the effort, boys.

Cavendish Water Emergency UPDATE (as of 5PM on Monday):    There is a broken water main in Proctorsville and repairs will continue on Tuesday morning. Please conserve your water use.
