their quest for forms of safe, enjoyable and enriching entertainment. With an

myriad of ways.

rich history then from noted contributors such as George Peabody, George McKee
and the late Huell Howser. They will take viewers on an armchair tour of the El
Dorado County Museum. They will guide adventures from behind the paddle of a
raft or kayak and navigate the rapids on South Fork, buckle up to ride the
famed Rubicon Trail, hike to remote waterfalls, explore with the noted History
Hunters, race the recent 75th Annual Studebaker Wheelbarrow Race and rumble
along in a stagecoach. Viewers will wander through a classic car Show ‘n Shine,
expand fire safe knowledge, tour once-rich gold mines along with captivating
local attractions. They will lead observers to stomp their feet to the tunes of
local musicians, catch a glimpse of famous visitors to the area such as Elvin
Bishop and grow an appreciative awareness to the El Dorado County quality of
life by dedicated entities such as local veterans, Mother Lode Rehabilitation
Enterprises, New Morning Youth and Family Services, Child Advocates of El
Dorado County Court Appointed Special Advocate, El Dorado County Office of
Education, county Board of Supervisors, chambers of commerce, El Dorado County
Sheriff’s Department and the Mountain Democrat.

SCA-TV2 looks to the future. Viewers are invited to watch a special Memorial
Day program Monday, May 25, at 11 a.m. on Comcast Channel 2 as well as the
SCA-TV2 YouTube channel, Facebook and the Sierra Community Access Television
website (sierratv2.blogspot.com).
“Due to concerns for the hundreds of
guests that normally attend Memorial Day observations at the El Dorado County
Veterans Monument and the uncertainty of when people may, once again, gather
for such events, the Board of Directors of the El Dorado County Veterans
Alliance-Friends of the Monument regretfully has canceled the Memorial Day
event for 2020 at the Monument,” EDCVA president Gary Campbell said. “We will
be working with local resources to present a special program that will honor
those who gave all which is the intent and spirit of Memorial Day. While we
still may be asked to stay at home and practice social distancing in late May,
we should all take time on the 25th to honor those lost in service to our
country. The special program being presented will do just that.”

Sierra Community Access Television 2nd Anniversary Celebration
Sierra
Community Access Television celebrated its 2nd anniversary of being
back on “the air” at the Iron Willow Gallery from at the 3rd during
the Saturday Art Walk, 5 to 9PM. There
were refreshments and the release of Channel 2’s Prime Time Wine: Placerville Zinfandel, Coloma Cabernet, and
El Dorado Hills Divinity. Proceeds from
the wine sale will help fund the station. http://bargainsonwine.com/scatv2/
The Western
Slope of El Dorado County is now enjoying its second year of Sierra Community
Access Television on Comcast Channel 2, and is now streaming plus On Demand at
sierratv2.blogspot.com.
The SCATV
Board and then City Manager John Driscoll and presented a business plan. The City of Placerville granted Channel 2 its
cable access rights on April 2, 2010.
Channel 2 was reborn with no government funding, no
broadcasting equipment, and the burden of the cost of rent and utilities of the
station studio. Thanks to community
donations, grants, and the dedicated efforts of citizens, funds have been
raised and modern broadcasting equipment acquired. Modern technology has made the necessity of a
physical studio unnecessary. The
technological skills of Roger Ruby of RJ Ruby Productions made the acquisition
of a cutting edge Leightronix Video Server which is housed at Town Hall. Roger also installed a computer that works in
tandem with the server to stream Channel 2 live via their website. Both devices are now accessed remotely by
Roger from El Dorado Hills! SCATV2
received both ready to broadcast and raw footage from producers. It is the responsibility of Program Director
Gary Campbell to upload programs and
schedule them on the server from his office in Cameron Park. Gary is known for his skillful editing of the
footage provided by the team of volunteers.
In the first year of Channel 2 the first contributors
of video were Bill Thorpe, Michelle Vien, Stan Okumura of Cinema Caldera, Roger Ruby and Leroy
Goodenough. Bill had great downtown
Placerville videos, Michelle had filmed a short feature on CASA, Stan had
filmed a wonderful feature on New Morning.
Roger shot some new videos on the County Fair, Burke’s Junction, and the
4th of July at Cameron Park.
Leroy was out filming music at the Fusion Gallery and Farmer’s Market. The team of volunteers armed with cameras and
editing software has since grown. George
Sabato and Michelle Vien teamed up to produce a video on James Marshall’s 100th
Birtday Celebration at Coloma. Bertie
Bern and Leroy did a video of Nancy Siegler’s Sunflower Fundraiser for Bread
Cancer. The Community Calendar was given
a complete make-over thanks to the Leightronix video server.
SCATV2 has
gone from having nothing on the video server to filling up the entire 250 gig
memory! Old shows are now being archived
as new shows are scheduled. The new
Channel 2’s recent schedules are so dynamic.
The seven camera shoot of Veteran’s Day at the El Dorado County Memorial
produced by Gary Campbell has captivated
viewers as viewers watch our community honor our heros. Jason Bross (and his remote controlled
helicopter ) now have earned a half hour slot in the weekly Prime Time Schedule
in which he presents unique fly-over views of Placerville, Georgetown and Hope Valley in
full Autumn color, Clarksville Days…).
The station how has several series including Flower Diva Angie Zimmerman
and Simply Delicious Greek Cooking with Angie Zimmerman. Dee Owen’s Passport in time shares the US Forest
Service’s archaeological discoveries on the Carson and Johnson Passes. Viewers
learn from local author Debbie Preston of great hikes to take their dogs, ski
the Sierra slopes with local high school teacher Alison Genai, and fly aerobatics with world
reknown local pilot Julie Clark. Viewers learn the history of Main Street Placerville
from George McKee, “experience” the training of the El Dorado County Fire
Volunteers, learn how to care for jeep trails watching Todd Stanley’s
Rubicon:It’s In Your Hands. The
Soroptomists and SCATV2 produced a special about “How to Stop Human Trafficing”
in El Dorado County. Watch many of
these shows On Demand at http://sierratv2.blogspot.com/p/sca-tv-video.html
Upcoming programs include a special on the Memorial
Day Celebration at the El Dorado County Veterans Memorial, the American River
Conservancy’s Wakamatsu Festival, and a series on the Highway 50 Association
Wagon Train. SCATV2 had an embedded
videographer in the wagon train capturing the experience on video to share with
our viewers.
