People will complain that we only cover Algona events. Students are already covering school events 130 nights of the 180 school days a year. Students are doing their part. We encourage people to drop off tapes.

If we started paying $150,000 a year, there would be a lot of men interested in teaching.

It is a unique program. It would be hard to find a community this size in the Midwest where this opportunity exists.

We had a local scuba diver bring in his tape of a trip he took, and it was very popular. If someone has video of a trip to Russia, for example, we'd love to run that.

We've got the air time. We just need material to fill it.

We have a studio that some professional television stations would be jealous of.

Right now we're doing about 15-20 boats a day, and in a couple weeks that will increase to about 30 to 40 a day, ... At Jefferson Beach there are seven heated storage facilities and three cold storage buildings. There's room for a lot of boats.

People think this is Algona High School's access channel, but it's not. It's everyone's. All they have to do is bring in their tape.

The younger the kids, the fewer the men.

It's been pretty nice weather, so I'm guessing as soon as it turns cold for a couple days there will be more boats coming out, ... We're busy right now, but we'll be in full swing in about a week or two.

That's popular. People have home videos and want them on DVDs and we can provide that or make copies of weddings or birthday parties to send to family members. We do more than 800 video dubs a year, with the VHS to DVD being the most popular.

Being involved with this big of an event was a terrific real life experience for the students and one they will not soon forget. The students realized the importance of the work they were doing and rose to the occasion.

The first fire was like a warning. So we got most of our important equipment out of there. Before this fire, there was hope we might go back to that building. Now, there is no hope. A fireman took me through the building to look at our space. Those marble steps in the front? Looked like a waterfall.
