THE NEW TANNER DUCKS IN A ROW: Eleven members of the Acton Aqua Ducks Swim Club, including Sara Kiley (left), Victoria Fritz and Maggie Bowes, churned out 200 laps -- five kilometres -- each on Friday at the Acton pool as the club staged its annual swim-a-thon. Organizers hoped to top the $1,200 raised during last year's event. -- Frances Niblock photo ByMAGGIE PETRUSEHVSKY The New Tanner The sale of Cableworks, the cable television network serving Acton, requires ap- proval from the CRTC (Cana- dian Radio-Television Tel- ecommunications Commis- sion) before it is complete. Tom McCutcheon, vice- president of marketing and communications with Cogeco, said his firm pur- chased Cableworks earlier this month but it will probably be three to six months before the Main St. crumbling culvert to be replaced Concrete barricades will keep motor- ists away from the edge of a crumbling culvert on Main Street North by the li- brary until it can be replaced, hopefully, this summer. Town supervisor of public works, Ron Goddard, said the culvert is "col- lapsing a bit" along the curb line and the east end will be replaced this sum- mer if the Ministry of Transportation comes through with $135,000. "I don't want to get anybody alarmed here. We just feel it's better to put some barricades up to make sure nobody drives over that spot," Goddard said, adding he hopes the province will commit to pay 90 per cent of the $150,000 cost by the end of the month. Goddard also said they are waiting for final approval for resurfacing work on Highway 7 from Acton's eastern boundary to the arena, part of a major provincial project between Acton and CONSTABLE RIDDLES CORWER Georgetown. "We're going to be doing some re- surfacing work from the arena in to- wards Acton as far as we can go with whatever funding the Ministry (of Transportation) provides us with," Goddard said. "We've been told, certainly for the culvert, that it's pretty much a done deal, but for the resurfacing work we don't know how much they're going to pass our way." restaurant Family Dining & Pizzeria CRTC decision is released. Nothing can be changed un- til then. Cogeco is Canada's fourth largest cable system, McCutcheon says. Its na- tional headquarters is in Montreal but the Ontario di- vision operates out of Burlington. Cogeco already operates in Oakville, Burlington, much of Hamilton, Grimsby, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls so adding Cableworks fits nicely with their existing serv- ice network west of Toronto. Cogeco also services other centres including Kingston, Peterborough, Windsor and Sarnia, McCutcheon said. The company expects the CRTC will view the Cableworks deal as being in the best interests of custom- ers since it will allow better, more cost effective service to THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1999 New owners for Cableworks customers. "Nothing can change un- til we get their approval," he said. "Once that's through we'll introduce ourselves to our customers and ask their views, what's important to them so we can address those issues." Cogeco offers digital capa- bilities to its customers but since Cableworks has already "been very aggressive" about improving its system, cus- tomers won't notice a big change. "We're very much into re- building our system and of- fering high speed internet service," he said. "We want to offer the full range of tel- ecommunications services to meet their information and entertainment needs. It's not just plan TV any more. It will be a very exciting few years down the road." Awards to St. Joseph students Continued from Page I awards for their school. "Mirko and Jonathan showed great leadership in running the energy auditing program this year," a proud Lanois said. "They set up the energy patrols with a schedule of students to go around and check to see that the lights are off, doors closed and the heat is turned down. They even designed an in-school awards program," Lanois said, "Jason and Tricia are very involved in making the S.A.V.E.R.
