Harper Lee Laid to Rest
OSWEGO, N.Y. — Beloved “To Kill a Mockingbird” author Harper Lee was laid to rest Saturday afternoon. Lee’s ceremony was small and private, with just her family and close friends present.
Lee’s longtime friend Wayne Flynt gave the eulogy at the ceremony. The eulogy Flynt gave was from the speech he wrote in 2006 when Lee won the Birmingham Pledge Foundation Award for her work with racial justice. Lee requested to Flynt that he read the speech as her eulogy.
Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”, published in 1960, was an American classic dealing with race in a small southern town. A part of Lee’s book was pulled from her childhood. Her book won the Pulitzer Prize.
Many people have been moved by the loss of Lee, including author John Green and Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. Harper Lee was 89-years-old.

Hard Work is Paying Off in the Studio
Boxes galore is what you will see when you walk into the Al Roker Television Studio these days. Our installers are hard at work in the control room and the rack room installing new our new high definition equipment.
“What’s in these boxes right here is almost everything we need to complete the upgrade” – Justin Dobrow ’17, General Manager
The first thing that was installed in the studio were some cables.
Additional cables were installed in different parts of the studio
Take a look at the list of wires installers are using to figure out where each go in the studio (crazy confusing huh?).
List of wires the installers are using to connect everything together
After the cables are installed new equipment like the Ross Carbonite switcher, Xpression Graphics system, new Ikegami HD cameras will be installed and setup. New mounts for the monitors and wireless technology for the IFB and headsets will be installed as well.
Ross Carbonite switcher- “This lets us do green screens (called chroma keying), split screens, picture in picture, and lets us switch between video sources like cameras or videos like packages or show intros” – Nick Costanzo, V.P. of EngineeringMoving onto our new and improved rack room, better known as the “brains” of the new studio. In the rack room we have; Ross Xpression, Grass Valley playback system and a Tightrope media server that lets us schedule shows to play during the day or play reruns.
The rack room is coming together slowly
Stay tuned next week and keep up with our progress right here until the end of October!
