Aren't really as popular as they once were in stores that are devoted exclusively to hats are few and far between. But at the Wichita hat works, a customer can buy a hat off the rack, have a hat cleaned and blocked to be reshaped, and even have a hat custom made. Twenty-five-year-old Jack Kellogg, nicknamed the Hatman, has owned the Wichita hat works for three years before that he had six years experience cleaning and blocking hats. Started out with my hat collection, I've always worn hats and fashion I always like to wear the Humphrey Bogart style in high school, and I ran across a need to get them cleaned and blocked. So I met a man who had a shop and decided to teach me the trade. Kellogg says that hats, aside from being utilitarian, can also enhance a person's looks. Retail over the counter sales of hats account for the largest portion of the store's income, with only one other full-time employee, personalized service is a key factor in Kellogg's business. I feel if I give the customer a good product and a good service that they will come back and they will tell their friends, I am a great believer in what goes around, comes around.

It's an old cliche that I think works fairly well in business. With most of the old time hatters out of the business, the Wichita hat works receives a lot of out-of-state orders for cleaning and blocking hats. Kellogg is also building up his reputation for making custom hats, celebrities such as Blue Singer, BB King, and the riders in the sky cowboy band that hats specially made. As for the future of his business, Kellogg is optimistic. I will continue to learn and improve upon my craft, and one day my hats and my custom hats will be a force to be reckoned with.

In the beginning, you remembered Dorothy lived in Kansas, right near Wichita. Yeah, and one day when a cyclone came along, Dorothy didn't make it into the Sutter on Time, and she was blown away to the house and flew for a long, long way. Well, find the house crashed and woke Dorothy up, and she looked around and found herself in a very strange place.

And all she wanted to do was to get back home to Kansas. But just then, little bunch of kids appeared out of the houses, not out of the bushes. And they told Dorothy she was in the land of Oz, and they were very, very happy because her host had landed on the Wichita, which is the Eastern Idkilder, and they were free now. And all they wanted to do was to dance and sing. And for the house fell on her hand, and the chloriner pronounced her dead. And through the town the joyous news was spread.

Good evening. I'm Cynthia Rutherford, welcome to InSession. This program is part of our overall effort to give you access to both sides of the major issues that are facing the

Kansas legislature this year. InSession not only offers you the opportunity to hear from a senior member of the Kansas legislature, but also the opportunity to call in and talk to our guests. Right over. No, I guess this stands out. Hey, I think so. Let's see, we'll hop into all the loving-hater over here. One more time please. Fine, thanks. And up, please. All this, please?

Sure. Yeah? Press and wrench. Sure. Good hour. Sure. Oh, I don't know to hold it for a while. Oh, hi, Jim. Sorry. Well, as old we'd like to ask you a few questions about this lighting situation. What are you doing right now? But it's not like too much of a question. Well, this is our key light for the big show. Oh, I see. Key light. And well, could you explain a little bit about it? Key light. Well, key light is used to highlight individuals and objects. Oh. We also have back light, baseline, fill light, background light, kicker light. Well, hold, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Explain briefly. Well, let's see. First of all, we want to see what's in front of the camera. We want to see the scene. We use baseline for that. And as we said, we want to highlight certain individuals. We use key light for that.

We offset this with fill light. This gives us three-dimensional quality. We use back light to separate a person from the background. So full. Oh, I see. Well, actually, there's quite a bit of lighting work that goes then. What kind of instrument was this that you were working on? Light appeared out above us, right? Well, this is what's known as a douche. This is a large spotlight. About how many watts is that? This is 2,000 watts. 2,000 watts. Hence the term douche. Oh, I see. This is one of the biggest instruments that we have in the lighting section situation. I see. Well, that's all right. And of course, if we don't get it just right, and we have to know about positions of cameras and so forth, then we don't get good kinescope quality. That's right. There's quite a bit of work done on kinescopes here. And the quality has to be even more carefully controlled than it would in life, telling operations. A lot more difficult for kinescopes than it is for live television. So that's why we have to be especially careful with our lighting, with our free planning, with our positions of people, equipment, and so forth. What are the different types of light characteristics you were talking about?

Well, basically it falls into two categories. It's a general lighting and specific lighting. General lighting was what I referred to as base light. We do that with floodlights or the TV scoops, which you've probably seen hanging around here and your tour around. Yes. And then specific lighting is done with being like juice for key lights. And we use baby spotlights for back lighting. Well. Then sort of thing. And then for using lighting doorways and things like that, we use, oh, perhaps a double broad on the floor stand. Or something like that. It has two teeth out in one. Okay. More on the left, please, though. Well, sorry, Jim. Okay, I can take a hand. Please. Mr. Rainbow, look at the isn't that neat Oscar and Big Birdie. Oh, I love it.

That's a nice picture. And that's for $25 worth of Sesame Street clothes from JC Pennings. We appreciate their supporting channel eight.

When I think about children growing up, who eases their pain when there is a frustrated parent or even child abuse in the family? We all need to look out for the children. I like what the Kansas Children's Service League is doing, a private agency where we can all work together strengthening families. The Kansas Children's Service League are concerned ears children. The Kansas Children's Service League.

The Kansas Children's Service League. Channel eight, an oasis in the desert, alternative television in an ever-conforming world. But all was not modern in Channel eight's technology. Its facilities were being outgrown. And so it began to change.

With this change came noise. We began to see staff members as we'd never seen them before. And in close, we'd never be caught dead in. Former producers, directors, studio supervisors, camera operators, editors and even the director of administration became architects, carpenters, painters and interior designers.

Working around the commotion became second nature. But eventually the noise stopped and soon the dust cleared. We were finished. It was done. And it was good. Because of these improvements, we are now able to produce creative quality work for KPTS and video eight clients.

We would like to thank the Board of Trustees, volunteers and staff at Channel eight for helping make our possibilities a reality. Thank you. Volunteers have long been the lifeblood of Channel eight. Pat Shraug has been one of those outstanding volunteers for 14 years. Pat was first selected to the KPTS Board of Trustees in 1972 and has served as a member of the executive committee as vice chairperson and has chaired the program policy committee.

Pat is currently chairperson of the Board of Trustees. In addition to her many hours of dedication to the board, Pat compiled and edited Channel eight program guides for five years, helped with early channel eight auctions and volunteered in membership. After serving a six year term on the Board of Trustees and two years as chairperson, Pat will be retiring this year. Thank you, Pat, for your service above and beyond the call of duty. You've helped Channel eight to grow through the years and will miss your leadership. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.
