August 2006 Board Minutes
Call to Order - 11:10 a.m. by Vice-President Mark Linderman.
Present: Willard Brown, Daryl Greene, Ed Hoffman, Mark Linderman, Eric Marsh, Barb Mayberry, Sharon Palmer, Jeff Plasterer, Kim Poinsett, and Phil Quinn. Staff: John Dalton, Stephanie Frame, Diane Lucas, and John Schuerman.
Approval of Minutes
The Board accepted the minutes of the July 11, 2006 meeting. Jeff Plasterer moved to accept the minutes with Ed Hoffman giving the second.
Treasurer’s Report
Jeff Plasterer went over the financial report dated June 30, 2006. The interest income continues to exceed expectations; everything else is on target. Ed Hoffman moved to accept the financial report with Phil Quinn giving the second, and the motion passed unanimously.
Director’s Report
John Dalton pointed out that our Channel 21 Lottery will be August 14 at 4 p.m., and a picnic will follow at 5 p.m. The picnic will include hot dogs and more, with James “Iceman” Patterson as DJ.
Richmond’s Bicentennial event is fast approaching. WCTV will provide a live telecast of the parade on August 20th. We plan to use three cameras and an RPL bucket truck. Immediately after the parade, WCTV will go to the football stadium to do a live broadcast of the closing event, the county-wide high school band performance. We will also tape the Mayor’s breakfast and opening ceremonies for broadcast. WCTV will air footage of the 150th Year Celebration parade, as well as some episodes of “Richmond in Motion,” in support of the Bicentennial.
Tim Elstro has found some replacement parts for our damaged satellite dish and will be working on getting those installed. The Dish-TV dish is up and running, airing various programs.
WCTV is now an affiliate of the University Channel. This service allows for the downloading of public lectures, mostly consisting of nationally known speakers from major universities. We are also finalizing an arrangement to air “Inside Indiana Business” from WFYI, which will run on Tuesday evenings.
WCTV’s “Boot Camp” will be taught through the Extended Learning Department of IU East.
We are looking at a “slate” of five football games for the fall and are working with area schools. When the schedule is finalized we will be looking for sponsorships.
We will have two interns from Centerville High School this fall.
John and Kim Poinsett met with staff from Civic Theater and they are very interested in participating in the Reading Service, seen on Friday nights. There is hope that this service might be able to generate some grant money. Daryl Greene suggested that we contact the Independent Living Center to inform them of our Reading Service program.
John is working with Ken Paust on a post card for a future mailing regarding memberships.
John presented a page of “talking points” for use when discussing WCTV in the community and looking for fundraising opportunities.
Old Business
The Controversial Programming guidelines have been updated and will be finalized at next month’s meeting.
New Business
Ed Hoffman mentioned the S.O.S. Jamboree with Charlie Estes and the Slicks, which will be on Friday, August 11th, and will be taped for replay on WCTV at a later time.
Good of the Order
Ed Hoffman has been recognized as an “Older Hoosier of the Year” for his volunteer work at WCTV and will attend a picnic and a dinner.
Adjournment - 12:05 p.m.

Wayne County Football!
When I came to WCTV one of the first things I heard from viewers was that they wanted to see local high school sports. And we listened—this weekend WCTV will be showing our first high school football game, Centerville vs. Cambridge City Lincoln, with our professional staff working in cooperation with the A/V classes at Centerville and Richmond High Schools. I hope you like what you see.
You can catch Centerville vs. Lincoln Saturday at 7 p.m. and midnight and Sunday at 5 a.m., 9 a.m., Noon, and 3 p.m.
We are planning more local high school sports from WCTV, so stay tuned!
