HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1972-12-28, Page 12Cable Television service for Goderich and Clinton moved one step closer to reality this
week as workmen with Bluewater Cable Television started putting up the reception towers
near Holmesville. The Cable Television nerve centre will be located in the old Holmesville
school, which the company recently purchased from Goderich Township. The school is
presently undergoing remodeling as part of the T.V. project and will house the company of-
fices and equipment as well as the studio for a local channel. (staff photo)

Sunday December the 31st
will be the last of the "big"
Sundays of St. James Mid-
_dleton's highly successful cen-
tennial year.
On this occasion, a memorial
plaque will be dedicated "To
the Glory of God and in
memory of the pioneers who
built this church in 1872", This
plaque is donated by their
descendants and successors in
1972. Service is at 11:15 a.m.
There will also be a plaque
dedicated in loving memory of
Mr, Fred Middleton by his wife
and family,
It is fitting indeed that this
church should ond its centen-
nial year on this high note and
not just peter out.
Fitting and dramatic, also
that the centennial year ends
on the 53rd Sunday of the leap
year.
Not until another 2000 years
will we see this happy com-
bination of the 53rd Sunday
falling on the last day of the'
year.
"It is a fitting way to end our
celebrations and to start our
second century of service",
stated the Rector, the Rev. Geo,
Youmatoff, who has given this
church most inspiring leader,.
ship in this demanding year.
Obituary
THOMAS HENRY
LEPPINGTON
A life-long resident of Clin-
ton, Thomas Henry Lep-
pington, passed away at Clin-
ton Public Hospital on Decem-
ber 21, 1972 after a illness of
several months. He was 83.
Mr. Leppington was born in
Clinton on February 14, 1890,
and lived, all his life here. He
was the son of the late William
and Susan Leppington and at-
tended the old private school
on Queen Street.
He served overseas in the
First World War with the 161st
Battalion and on November 7,
1919, he married the former
Luella Tomkins in Wingham.
She survives him.
Following their marriage, the
couple moved back to Clinton
where Mr, Leppington was a
butcher. He also attended First
Baptist Church in Clinton.
Besides his wife, he is sur-
vived by two sons, Roy of
Brucefield and Jack of R.R.2,
Bayfield; two daughters, Mrs.
Albert (Iona) Leibold of Clin-
ton, and Mrs. Edith Johnson of
London; one sister, Mrs, Irene
Roberts of Sarnia; 13 grand-
children and, seven great-
grandchildren. He was
predeceased by one son
Tommy.
Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. W.H. McWhin-
nie at the Ball Funeral Home
in Clinton on December 23,
1972. Burial was in Clinton
Cemetery.
stallation and construction
work connected with Bluewater
Cable Television completed
work at the tower site. They in-
stalled two parabolic antennas
which are connected to a total
of 22, 65-foot towers (11 each)
and once the hook ups are com-
plete service will get underway.
Work is also underway in the
former Holmesville Public
School, which Bluewater Cable
recently purchased. The school
is being converted to house the
future local station studio as
well as the company offices and
repair shop.
Bluewater Cable, purchased
the school from Goderich
Township who had taken
possession after the
Holmesville school district
board ceased to function. Until
its sale to the television com-
pany the school had been
serving as a community hall.
Clinton will be obtaining
cable television service this
winter. Once the Holmesville
site is put in working order the
work crews will move to Clin-
ton and begin installing the
lines. All the line work in that
town is suspended from utility
poles so work on installation
can continue through the win-
ter. Also, since the nerve centre
at Holmesville will be in
working order by then, each st-
reet will receive service as soon
as the line is installed. The
trunk lines connecting both
Goderich and Clinton to
Holmesville are now complete.
The cable system will bring
in three Detroit channels, five
Bay City stations, Hamilton,
Kitchener, Wingham, London
and also provide local viewers
with their own station.
The Canadian Radio and
Television Commission gave
approval for the project last
April and work began about a
month later on the big' job of
installing the trunk lines and .
all the individual street lines.
The system is also said to
provide between 10 and 15 FM
stations.
The local station will be of-
ficially turned over to the
people of Goderich and Clinton
after it is completed and it will
be left up to them to produce
any programs the stations
sends out.
In Kincardine, where cable is
already in service, about eight
hours a week of local television
planning is being enjoyed by
residents. Local people are
urged by the company to
discuss matters of municipal in-
terest in talk shows and present
musical and drama productions
as well.
This channel will operate 24
hours a day and will provide
FM music continuously. Local
and district weather will be
automatically broadcast on the
channel at regular and close in-
tervals. There will also be a
calendar wheel of upcoming
local events televised at alter-
nate intervals with the
weather.
Local programming however
can pre-empt the weather and
calendar of events.
Although slightly behind the
initial schedule outline, work
on the Bluewater Cable
Television is progressing well
and the first, Goderich residents
to receive the service should be
connected in early January.
It will take until late next
summer, the company says,
before all of Goderich has cable
television service available but
portions of the south end will
be connected next month.
Initially it had been hoped the
first service would begin in Oc-
tober.
Last week, Com-Cables, the
company responsible for all in-
