PBS headquarters had custody for awhile, then passed the afward around to the 10 winning stations. Those stations won the award last year from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for a pilot program launched in 1988 that makes public television and, eventually, television in general more accessible to the blind and visually The project, known as Descriptive Video Services, offers narrated descriptions of a program's key visual elements without interfering with the program audio or dialogue.

The service uses the SAP, the separate -audio program, found on many stereo television sets. Steve Agerton, chief engineer at WSRE, spearheaded the installation of the proper SAPDVS equipment at the station for the 1988 test. Having the Emmy around, even for a few weeks, gave Agerton "a nice, rewarding feeling. It was nice to know that somebody recognized your efforts." Today, about 55 PBS stations are SAP-equipped and carry DVS programming, according to the American Foundation for the Blind. By the way, when WSRE is not carrying DVS programs, it broadcasts NOAA weather reports over the SAP audio channel.

A patriotic fireworks display will cap the finale. By Dave Goodwin News Journal The Worldwide Church of God ended its Feast of Tabernacles Monday with a call for believers to sustain their faith for all time. "Our concern brethren is that your love would not wax cold, that you would endure to the end," Steve Botha of New York said to believers gathered at the Pensacola Civic Center for closing services.

Since Sept. 23, some 6,500 persons had been gathered here for the religious festival that celebrates the time when members believe Jesus Christ will return to set up the Kingdom of God on Earth. The number was about 1,000 short of what organizers had expected. Speakers on Monday said that troubled times will come. People will suffer the indignities of life.

Friends and family will fall ill and die. Homes will burn and floods will destroy. There will be pain and suffering. But believers must keep the faith and commit themselves to the work of God, speakers said. "I would have you remember it is all temporary," said Shorty Fues-sel of Pensacola.

"The troubles, the trials, the problems of life should not be credited with permanence. Try hard, try real hard to set your affection on the things above and not on the things of the Earth "Let's leave with a strong picture and a fierce determination not to be sidetracked Let's fiercely determine to stick with and be a part of the plan of God, the church of God and the people of God." Botha gave believers four keys to use in making sure their faith endured to the end: Make solid one's spiritual foundation know that there is a God and that he loves and cares. "There will be times in your life when that is what will carry you through, the fact that you know that God is on his throne and that he is your father and that he loves you and cares for you and is committed to your success." Be totally committed to God's work. "It is the work of hope. It is the work of salvation.

It is the work of truth." Stay close to God's people strength comes in numbers. Keep a focus on the goal the Kingdom of God. fcmiit i fil Hope Tickets are $50, $25, $15 and $10 and are on sale in the Fort Walton Beach area at Book Nook, Book Harbour, Eglin Officers Club, Eglin NCO Club, Eglin Landing Pad, Bayou Book Store, Hurlburt Officers Club, Hurlburt NCO Club, Hurlburt Recreation Center and the Niceville, Destin and Fort Walton Beach Chambers of Commerce. eBi1 Details: 243-2323, 244-5143, 243-7465. 1 iid ili.fnd i.
