C~E Group W Cable public ac- cess television provides peo- ple an opportunity that until recently did not exist: the op- portunity to produce their own TV programs. Before the ad- vent of the public access con- cept, television programs were produced by a small group of people. The general public had very little voice in what was seen on TV. Now everybody has the opportunity to pro- duce their own programs and have them seen on cable TV in the Quad Cities area (Andover, Anoka, Champlin and Ramsey). Staff members do not decide what type of programs are made. The access producer decides on the format and content of the program. Talk shows,' coverage of local speakers and events, original dramas and comedy are just some of the types of programs that can be seen on channel 3, the public access channel. To encourage public access programming Group W Cable provides complete production facilities (including portable cameras, editing equipment and a studio), an experienced staff and a variety of channels reserved for access programs. The staff offers classes on equipment operation and pro- gram production, schedules and maintains the equipment, schedules the programs to be cablecast and, most impor- tantly, provides assistance and advice from the start to the completion of a program. Also, the staff maintains a list of volunteers who are willing to help other people with their productions. For more information call 427-2531. 24 Hour State Road Information Service for Travelers Available Travelers wanting current information on road condi- tions statewide and in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area can call the 24-hour road information ser- vice provided by the Minne- sota Department of Transpor- tation (MnIDOT), said Darrell Schierman, MnlDOT emergen- cy operations manager. Reports on statewide lane restrictions are available by ,calling (612) 296-3076. For road information in Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington coun- ties, travelers should call (612) 297-4103. There is a toll charge for calls made from outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The recorded messages, up- dated daily, inform callers of such road conditions as road closings and lane closures, Schierman said. "By calling the road infor- mation service, motorists can plan routes to bypass most construction areas, enabling them to reach their destina- tions as conveniently as pos- sible," he said. . " I Area Masons Aid Youth Diabetes. Program The Grand Lodge of Minne- sota Maso'ns and the Minne- sota Masonic Foundation are actively aiding the many dia- betic children in Minnesota through the Juvenile Diabetes Outreach Program of the Inter- national Diabetes Center in( Minneapolis. Diabetes m'ellitus is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the U.S. There are approximately 150,000 chil- dren in the U.S. with diabetes and a survey indicates one in every' 529 students in Minne- sota has diabetes. These chil- dren require one to four injec- tions of insulin each day, plus dietary management and ad- herence to a comprehensive therapeutic plan. Diabetes in children is the most unstable form of the disease. They must be very closely monitored dai- ly. The Minnesota Grand Lodge has encouraged constituant lodges to become involved on the local level in this worthy program.
