A new show has been added to our schedule at the request of Greenfield’s Veterans' Services Officer Charles Loven. “Sound Off” is being produced by veterans, for veterans, and about veterans at NewTV (Public Access TV for Newton, MA). It’s a great way to keep up with what our state is doing to support the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. The first half of each show will have an expert who is familiar with issues, events, and benefits that pertain to veterans and their dependents. The second half of the program will showcase a veteran and/or an individual who helps veterans. This monthly show airs at 2pm on Thursdays.
It’s budget time again in Greenfield and that means meetings, meetings, and more meetings. We’ll be recording the first Ways & Means committee budget meeting of the season at the Police Department on Wednesday night while the Kiwanis Auction is live on Cable Channel 15. Then, next week (Wed. 5/18), we’ll need some help (3 people would be great!) filming the Town Council Meeting in our studio. Please email Alicia@gctv.org if you would like to run a camera, operate the soundboard or direct. We’ll make every effort to keep you informed as the budget process moves along so check our schedule for a list of meeting dates and watch our Video on Demand Player, the “Local Government” category, for all of them.
Kiwanis Auction Wednesday & Thursday, May 11th & 12th, from 7pm to 10pm on Cable Channel 15! This great fundraiser benefits the children of Franklin County and is really easy to participate in. Watch the items get described and shown off on TV and call 413-774-2002 with your bid. To obtain an auction brochure with more information about the bidding process and the items up for bid check out the Greenfield Kiwanis' page on Facebook.
Last chance for Lost & Found! If you think you’ve left anything in our office or studio over the past six months or so, this week would be a good time to check the box behind Alicia’s desk and claim your lost property. The box is overflowing once again and will be emptied this Friday, May 13th, its contents donated to the Salvation Army.

What a week it's been!
"Valley Homegrown" started off the week with a very interesting musical group called "Lalit" that played Indian Jazz Fusion. If you missed it, when it aired live on Monday night, be sure to catch the rebroadcast tonight at 9PM on Cable Channel 15.
Our staff was very excited on Tuesday to welcome our new intern, Simeon. He was put to work right away creating a community coverage piece about what the Franklin Regional Transit Authority (FRTA), and the town, are doing to help people with physical disabilities, no transportation, or who aren't going to be in town on election day, cast their ballots on June 8th. You can watch this short news story on our homepage.
Then, of course, Wednesday night happened. As folks left our studio, after the Greenfield Town Council Ways & Means Committee Meeting, the sky lit up with flash after flash of lighting. There was no thunder or rain at that point so we had no idea what was coming next.
Arriving on Thursday morning to discover that a State of Emergency had been declared, our Station Manager & New Media Producer/Director put their heads together to figure what we could do to help. Mayor Martin's office put us in touch with the Greenfield Fire Department and they provided us with street closings and other public safety information that we immediately posted on our website. Later, the mayor and Fire Chief Winn took time out of their demanding schedules to sit down in our studio and give the public a thorough rundown of the situation in a new "Mayor's Memo" episode that aired last night. One of our WMCB DJs, Corey Bellows---Host of "The Wire", spent the morning walking around town taking pictures of the storm's aftermath. He was nice enough to share them with us and you can see his slide show on the upper right corner of this blog. As Corey said, "these pictures explain why we're in a State of Emergency".
Today, we've mostly been playing catch up and continuing to update our State of Emergency page. Obviously, we won't be able to update it over the holiday weekend but you can see the most up to date information on the town's website.
Enjoy your (non-stormy) Memorial Day Weekend everyone!

We have Video On Demand!
So, you only caught part of Drew Hutchison's interview with Governor Deval Patrick on "Local Bias"? Did you miss last week's Ways & Means meeting? Perhaps you decided to enjoy the beautiful weather outside instead of attending the latest School Committee meeting? Well, that doesn't have to mean that you aren't informed. You can now watch GCTV programs on your computer, whenever you want! Go to www.gctv.org/VOD. We will make every effort to get meetings up within 24-48 hours after they occur.
