Cable TV service
coming to Belgrave,
likely by October
If all goes according to plan,
cable television should be avail
able to Belgrave residents before
the end of October.
At its regular meeting August 2,
MorrisTownship council adopted a
by-law approving the agreement
for service with Kincardine Cable-
TV in the east side of the hamlet,
and it is expected that East
WawanoshTwp. council will follow
suitatits next meeting, September
6.
Brian Walden, manager of
Kincardine Cable-TV, who had
met with both councils earlier this
spring to present the plan, said that
this is the first time his company
has offered to provide service for a
place bridging two townships.
“But I don’tforsee any problems
with the situation,” he said. “It
just may take a bit more time.
Depending on how it all goes, cable
could be available (in Belgrave) as
early as the first week of October. ’ ’
Mr. Walden’s company has
leased land on Hamilton street for
the installation of the terminal
building and the three satellite
dishes required to bring in the new
service, and will meet with Ontario
Hydro officials this week to seek
permission to use hydro poles to
carry some of the wiring required.
Some of the cables will be installed
underground as well, he said,
while the service to individual
homes will look “just like a
telephone wire into each home.”
Construction of the system will

likely start immediately, he said.
Customers signing up for the
service will pay $18.95 plus tax per
month for what Mr. Walden called
the basic cable service, while for an
additional $15.95 (plus tax) per
month, they can also have access to
both the Movie Channel and to the
new “Family Channel” which
goes on the air in September. The
Movie Channel provides 30-40 new
movies each month, while the
Family Channel will bring in
variety programming, such as
Disney programming, intended for
the entire family.
“Basic” service provides access
to all the local channels, as well as
to TSN, City-TV, Nashville and to
12 other channels, including four
from Detroit. It will also provide
access to the new CBC station
which will come into service in the
area in September, when CKNX-
TV will drop all CBC programm
ing. (Non-cable customers will
have to invest from $ 100 to $300 in a
UHF antenna and pre-amplifier in
order to access the CBC channel,
once it is dropped by CKNX.)
In addition, Mr. Walden said,
clients will have 30 days to sign up
for the new cable service at no
charge - an introductory offer
which would otherwise cost about
$40 per household.
Kincardine Cable-TV will notify
all prospective clients of the date
the service will be available in
Belgrave, he concluded.

BY DESIREE CURTIS
Wednesday, July 20 at Camp
Keewaydin we had some visitors at
camp fire over at the Brownie
campsite, McKimn.
The visitors were Girl Guides
from Indiana, United States. Half
the Girl Guide Campers wouldn’t
even give them a chance to breath.
After campfire we came back and
had freshie and popcorn. We
traded gimmicks, phone numbers
and addresses. They had to leave
for Goshen, Indiana.

comes down and has sex with Mary
Magdelene (kinky or what?) then
married her and raises a family (at
least they’ve got that in the right
priority by Hollywood standards).
As might be expected in a
Hollywood movie, the bad guy,
Judas “almost steals the show”
according to the review. Mean
while goodguy Paul, has “the aura
of aused-cardealer’ ’ while Pontius
Pilate isn’t a bad guy at all but
“astute and untroubled”.
All I can say is that if the
Hollywood directors, writers
and actors and the film reviewers
think that it’s more “interesting”
to see liars and con men and
murderers and prostitutes than
ordinary, honest, hardworking
people, I’d love to be able to
sentence them to spend a year on
an island filled with all sorts of
these “interesting” people. At
least they wouldn’t be bored.

Mrs. Edith Vincent for medita
tion, re - the weather and the
garden. The weather being one of
the main topics this year. She cited
the planting of the garden and after
nurturing along it was frozen off.
After planting it again she didn’t
pay any attention to it at all. After
some time looking at it once more
she saw that it had grown again. All
we need is patience.
The hymn, “Untothe Hills” was
then sung. Harold Vincent read a
little card which had been in some
books they had bought. It was
“Don’t Quit”. •
