Bieman, Media Co-ordinator for the *iron County Board of Education and a regional represen- tative for T.V.Ontario asked the board for support in getting TVO to set up a transmitter -in Huron County. According to Bieman, the Patton's Place says, "People ARE Buying" Ron Logan, co. owner of Patton's Place, the London area's biggest furniture and appliance outlet, agreed that customers are looking for quality and good value. But he disagreed that consumers have stopped spen- ding money. "The money's out there", he said, "But they have to have justification to spend,,,,We're not Suffering. 1 won't 'dont' it hasn't been hardslugging." Patton's Place laid off 21 employees in December but has. 'since rehired or replaced them and total , em . ployment now stands at 102, Logan said. He and par- tner GGord Potton founded the business 24 years ago. "I'm not denying a lot of people are hurting, but they have to get back to basics," he said. "You can't quit ad- vertising. Many d-.vertising.'.Many are having difficulty because they're not advertising." Logan said his company uses newspaper, radio, and television .advertising heavily in London, Chatham and Sarnia, and this.a main reason that It has been able to attract hockey traffic to its store. rural parts of the county and viewers without cable television are not receiving the benefits of the educational programming offered by TVO, a non- coimnercial, publicly funded teledslon-statioii: He cited that the recent placement of a 52 million transmitter recently set up in the Muskoka area was due to public pressure on the Ministry of Culture by local groups and politicans. Similar pressure in Northern Ontario has reulted in plans to place approximately 44 transmitters in Northern Ontario at a cost of $20,000 each. Bieman feels that residents and students would benefit from the varied educational programming. "Up to now we have been taping programs for classroom use but almost all the schools do not get TVO on T.V. and l am equally concerned about the general public that can benefit from TVO," he said. "It is public pressure that has given several areas, transmitters," he said. Bieman explained that before a transmitter can be placed inan-arealt-has-to-be approved by Cabinet and that is where lobbying helps. "It is not a matter of sending petitions but, a few well written letters from. councillors get results. According to Bieman, TVO receives much of its funding from Lottario to set up transmitters and that the station itself is partially funded through the ministry. The "board asked Bieman to make a presentation to its meeting in September before they make a recom- mendation. For those who are in- terested in TVO, they can contact Mr. Bieman at (519) 482-3496 or 235-1724 for further information.

The boys, along with teacher Allan Harrison of, Tumberry Central Public School gave a slide presenta- tion to trusteesat their June 7 meeting. The slides pic- tured the boys' projects and highlights of the county and national fairs. One of the students, Mike Saxon of Grey Central Public School, received two awards for his conservation and ecology house at the Canada -wide fair from May 15 to 23 at York University. He received an honorable mention and an honorable achievement award which included an encyclopedia. The other students, Jamie Pickering and Stephen Bray of Turnberry Central, John Lavis and ,David Andrew of Clinton Public School ex- pressed their appreciation to the board for providing the opportunity to compete. This is the first year Huron has had a county -wide science fair. "I found that exhibiting the project took a great deal of time and effort. The ex- perience of entering a pro- ject in the science fair can be frustrating yet satisfying because of the planning; research, collecting of infor- mation and coming up with a result," stated one of the boy's letters to superinten- dent of program Robert Mc- Call. . Trustees were impressed with the efforts of the students and several com- mented on the quality of the projects. Feagan, Joanne Buchanan, Cindy Clutton, Dianne Bogie and John Meyers.
