SUMMARY:Terrel Cass\, Gen Mgr WLIW Ch 21
DESCRIPTION:Members and friends\nWell\, today was real treat. Our speaker was WLIW General Manager Terrell Cass. It is refreshing when a man who has such a serious message can deliver it in such a humorous manner. \nPublic television has played and is playing such a big part in our lives. To know that conscientious people are at the helm of this most valuable resource is encouraging. \n \nOne of the WLIW presentations that Mr. Cass spoke about was the travel films. In particular is the film of New York. This production is magnificent and breathtaking. Similar films have been produced by the station in Italy\, Scotland\, and various other parts of the world. Cass gave us some insights on how these films are produced. \n \nThe films are shot from cameras that are located in a bubble under a helicopter that was designed for this purpose. The vibration suspension systems that float the cameras gives steady flowing pictures of the landscape below. The effect is that of what an eagle may see while in a glide. These films are so popular\, and they serve a great material for the stations fund raisers.\n \nMr. Cass spoke about WLIW’s affiliation with WNET in New York. This joining of forces has been a big plus for our Long Island station. I asked Terrel if he was afraid the WNET partnership would lead to the loss of its Long Island identity. He said that that concern was dealt with in the original agreement. The marriage is three years old now and the net gain to Long Island is the resources of a much wealthier partner while maintaining a Long Island centric station.\n \nWe asked him about the technical advances in the broadcast quality. Here again WLIW was a winner. The analog signal is being replaced with a digital signal\, which results in a much higher quality signal\, a feat that is expensive and probably would not have been available without the resources of WNET. \n \nThe bad news is that the government funding has decreased to only 9% of the total budget and at WNET is only 6%. However that is also the good news\, since the these units are viable based on what we\, the public\, can provide to support them. Unfortunately many places in the country are more dependent on government subsidy\, which limits the quality and quantity of programming available to them. \n \nThis was a very lively meeting and we thanked him for an excellent presentation. Mr. Cass stayed on to answer many questions on a one to one basis after we officially adjourned.

SUMMARY:Kenny Moore VP Keyspan
DESCRIPTION:Kenny Moore of Keyspan has the title of Corporate Ombudsman. He gave a talk at LIMBA this morning that was as instructive as it was entertaining. People who come to LIMBA don’t necessarily expect to be entertained\, but when we are\, it makes the message that much better. Throughout\, his remarks were peppered with humorous asides\, and self deprecating humor.\n\n \nHe began by playing a piece that was first seen on CBS’s “Sunday Morning” show and the segment showed how the company has paid a lot of attention to concepts that include “emotional intelligence.” The idea being that the nuts and bolts of business are important but the business model that recognizes that there are real people working in the company\, and they have emotional needs that must be recognized.\n \nPeople in the company who have been ignored or otherwise treated as having little value tend to shut down. Even while most people will continue to perform at an acceptable level\, they may never again give you their creativity and innovation. I asked Kenny what is the demonstrable effect of encompassing the needs of the whole person. He looked at me for a long pause and said\, “You’re asking the wrong question.” In essence his reply was that all of this may not measurable\, but still very important.\n \nDuring Q&A Kenny was asked\, “What about companies that are more representative of people in this room\, meaning 5-50 employees. Do the same rules apply? He seemed to like that question because he gave it a lot of time. Implementation of his concepts in a small company\, in his opinion\, would be different\, but only in the details. \n \nKenny remarked that the image of corporate America is distorted. There are many companies that have a deep sense of service and conscience. The Enrons are not the predominate model. He also said that the concepts that Keyspan has embraced are becoming more and more the norm. Ending on that high note we adjourned the meeting.

SUMMARY:Bill Chaleff Innovative Green Achitecture
DESCRIPTION:This morning’s meeting was advertised as a discussion of energy efficient homes. In fact it was so much more. Bill Chaleff of Chaleff & Rogers Architects began the session speaking about the reality of global warming. The phenomena known as the “green house effect”is very much upon us\, and the cause is largely due to the burning of fossil fuels. \n\nThe presentation was surprisingly technical\, but delivered in a way that was easy to understand. The means of heat transfer were explained as\, conductive\, convective\, and radiation. Those terms were explained to the satisfaction of this general audience. In explaining radiation Bill pointed out that the sun travels across millions of miles of space at absolute zero\, (-453F) and only creates heat when it enters the earth’s atmosphere. He explained that the earth’s greenhouse is what makes life possible. On the other hand\, an enhanced greenhouse effect would have devastating effects on the planet.  \n \nChaleff explained that energy is the main driver in the creation of the modern society. He went on to say there is no direct correlation between energy consumption and the quality of our lives. Americans use 3 times as much energy per capita than modern societies in Japan\, Germany\, Scandinavia\, and other first world nations. The reason that these countries use less energy is the design of their buildings and automobiles. \n \nOf the 82 million barrels of oil we use every day\, 10% comes from the Middle East. Reducing our needs by 10% according to Mr.Chaleff would be very easy\, and without inventing another new thing. \n \nFrank Lloyd Wright designed houses that were passive solar 60 years ago. This technology made inexpensive to heat\, and more comfortable than standard construction. Montezuma’s castle was solar designed to take advantage of the heat gathering design in winter while using the cooling aspects of the design in summer. Today we can parlay that knowledge using materials in buildings such as Structurally Insulated Panels\, or SIP’s as they are called.. \n \nStructural Insulated Panels are also not new. It has been in use about 40 years. SIP’s create a building envelope that is easy to heat\, easy to construct\, creates a quiet environment\, and is incredibly strong. When hurricane Andrew swept across Florida years ago there were a few house still standing when it was over. Those house used SIP design. \n \nThese low energy use designs make all other means of energy more viable\, regardless of cost\, because we will use so little of it. Can we actually shake this addiction to oil? The answer for me was buttressed by this very interesting discussion. Yes\, we can!
