<br />colleges. Danika, and Ben spend a lot of time teaching our interns about <br />shooting, editing, writing, and building a story. Each intern ends up being a very <br />time intensive investment for staff, but we want to make sure they have a chance <br />to learn every aspect of television news production, including making contacts, <br />setting up interviews, reporting, and anchoring. We believe City Scope and the <br />organization as a whole benefit greatly from the efforts of interns. The intent is to <br />make the experience equally beneficial for them. <br /> <br />AOOITlOnaL STaFF PRoouceo PRo(jRams <br /> <br />. Municipal event programs <br />Each year we do our best to produce as many municipal issues and events <br />as we can. Kenton and Matt cover parades and pageants related to Tower <br />Days, Blaine's Blazin' 4th. Fetes des Lacs, and Blue Herron days celebrations. <br /> <br />The News/Public Affairs d~partment produced a plethora of municipal <br />programming this year. In keeping <br />with a fine tradition, they produced <br />a candidates forum, called Local <br />Decision 2005, for the Circle Pines <br />city council and mayoral races, and <br />for the Lino Lakes city council race. <br /> <br /> <br />Additional public affairs programs <br />produced by Danika and Ben <br />include, the Blaine Water Treatment <br />Special, The Highway 65/Main <br />Street Interchange Special, The <br />Blaine City Council Debate regarding the Highway 65/Main Street <br />Interchange, The Blaine Storm Aftermath, The Boy Scout Medal of Merit <br />Presentation, the Blaine Home Loan Program, the Lino Lakes Street <br />Construction Levy Referendum, the Centennial School District Levy <br />Referendum, and the Shawn Silvera funeral. <br /> <br />T.J. had another very good year. Last year he beat his annual program <br />production record with 54 programs. This year he beat that record by <br />producing 84 programs. Along with monthly coverage of the Anoka County <br />Board meetings and the Cable Commission meetings he also began taping <br />District #11 school board meetings. The school district was experiencing <br />problems with their staffing levels, and wondered if we could help. As usual, <br />T.J. stood up to the plate. <br /> <br />In addition to meeting coverage, T.J. produced the Blaine and Centennial <br />area Safety Camps, the 8th Annual Veteran's Day program, a Cops vs. Kids <br /> <br />13 <br />
