 We've had a fantastic year here at CCTV and TownMeetingTV. TownMeetingTV has continued to shine a light on local democracy. This was a big election year for us. We're here to help you navigate tonight's election coverage. This is a general election. This is our 15th general election show here at TownMeetingTV, formerly Channel 17. We've been doing this for a long time. Joining me today is Abram Akenya Wollich. Akenya Wollich is a co-founder of the People Collision for Civil Action, PCCA. We have the ambassador from Finland, and that is Mikaela Hotala. Hotala. Yes. Well done. Our live election results show will cover local results, political commentary, voices from voters at the polls, and visits to election night parties. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date with our election coverage. Now what we'll try to do is we'll try to tackle some innocent bystanders here who are walking down the wall and we'll see if we can get them to comment on some of the issues of the day. We're now talking to two young people from South Burlington. Burlington. Alright, one from Burlington. What is your name? Michelle. Michelle, and your name is? Mike Blair. And Mike, you're from South Burlington. Michelle, you're from Burlington. Well, let me start off by saying it's an interesting hairdo. Thank you. What are your reactions to that? Watching it. Well, I'm still at. If we had known then what we know now, we would have just said, actually, what bird are you saying? Would have been a short interview. So I have my little guest here speaking of kind. She is, sorry, she doesn't like it when I block her face, but her name is Aspen. Everyone has a story to tell and I look forward to being able to air some of these stories so that others can appreciate the lives that we've all lived. So welcome again. This is juxtaposition. Every month I'll be hosting different guests and we'll be exploring topics of interest. With our CCTV archives, we've digitized about half of our collection, which is super exciting. We set up the Vermont Language Justice Project. They continue to record and translate important public health messaging in 16 languages and their YouTube channel has over 80,000 views now. I think what I really like about the media and media internship is getting to speak to people of our community that I normally don't hear from. Through watching the news and being a part of the community, we have heard many stories about Sears Lane, but something about the coverage just never seemed right. We felt there was something missing from the story and wanted to discover what was not being told. You are the ones who constantly teach me throughout every single one of our meetings and that kind of stuff. Like I have the information, but you are fully doing the learning and that's what I think is so cool and that's what I don't know, that's probably my favorite part of the whole year. One thing that keeps coming up is that you seem like you have something to prove or that at least, like at the very least, you like a challenge and you like to put yourself in positions that force you to grow. So why do you think that is? Well, I love volunteering here because, you know, basically everyone's like a family and, you know, all the staff are really nice. My name is Jim Duncan. I'm the deputy mayor for the city of Wienewski and I'm thrilled to kick off our birthday party today for our fair city. Thank you for being here. We'll call the first ever meeting for the city of Essex Junction City Council to order for Wednesday, July 6th, 2022. Thank you all for being here. Thank you city residents, city counselors. Nice to see you all and I'm not going to get used to this so that's why I'm going to intentionally say city a few more times. So I hope we stop saying village. Wow, it's been a wonderful night. We've laughed, we've cried, we've talked up a storm with so many amazing personalities from all over the CCTV staff and Burlington community members. And I will be talking with you throughout next year as my internship continues. And I am being told to wrap it up. Au revoir.
