live show potential by Jennifer Burr Cable System is a community telev ision broadcasting company which craves community input says programming director and operations manager John As a company that makes its money from supplying cable television to more than subscribers for a fee it Is bound by the CRTC to provide a free channel for oil com munity services Mr Is proud Cable provided this ser vice long before it became mandatory and at a time when they had only subscribers They now boast 10 subscribers in George town Milton and Acton Cable is open tor any nonprofit organization wishing to provide com munity programming Is pleased with the programs now shown over Cable but points out theres lots of air time available for more and he is anxious to hear from interested people Television

Milton Steam Show and Georgetown Choral Societys prod uctlons Ollivier Is also in crested in hearing about new colorful events for his crew to attend Service messages flash across the screen during the day The company owned by Triangle Color Labs of Gueiph and headed by general manager Jim la proud or Its new facilities in Acton cites the main reason for moving from previous Georgetown locations as proximity to the antenna When Georgetown Cable switched on In 1969 studio and office space was situated in downtown Georgetown A move to an industrial building on Armstrong Avenue provided the company with more space but organizational problems Milton and Acton licences obtained by 1975 necessitated a name change to Cable When a building purchase was con sidered land was acquired near Speyside to enable Cable to build their own studios to their antenna site However the Niagara Escarpment Commission turned down building plans and an alternate site had to be found By the spring of Gl suitable property was found on Main Street that pmiously housed a billiard hall carpet retailer and a creamery Two months of renovations hove ided compact office space reception areas control room studio space dispatch office for service trucks and lots of storage is delighted The move closer to antenna means costs will be less when the company Introduces live programming At the moment all programs are taped and broadcast from facilities at side In order to produce live programming a special cable has to be installed to transmit sig directly to the antenna for broadcasting Much less cable will be required to go from Acton to than from Georgetown Proximity to antenna means cable signals are improved Cable sub scribers choose to pay a basic W a month plus K5 installation fee for clearer pictures and on alternative to home towers or antennae More subscribers mean more funds into community programming CRTC guidelines Indicate a company should channel six to ten per cent of all gross income into com munity programming Halton Cable spends six to seven percent according to Ollivier All crew and technicians provide their services freo to Cable Olllvler is the only paid staff

atmosphere by Helen Murray I Moving from Pitts burg to has I completely changed the I direction of the work of artist Mokrytzki and so far she seems pleased with the change Vallery hat been seriously painting for years While her recent one- person showing at the Burlington Cultural Centre was not her first showing she it was the first solo show Some of her work on display was from her days in Pittsburgh but most of them were painted at her Speyside Born In Toronto Vallery discovered her creative talents at a young age She went to Around Archeology in Toronto and the Cleve land Art Institute But for the most part she says she is self- taught She was around years old when she sold her first piece Over the years she has sold nun dreds more now de manding between and for her work recalls her years In a Pittsburg basement studio Her work was dark and centered around soc ietys worship of tech nology She entitled that series Totem to Tech nology The move to their Spanish style home in Speyside five years ago set Vallery on a different type of art Her workshop In com with the States Is bright and airy Its so bright Vallery says she had to cover the for the first while because she was not used to all the light streaming In After she got used to the change her work started to change Her colors gradually became brighter and her moods which largely dictate her work changed She suddenly found herself painting about nature and her new life The Atmosphere scries evolved as a dir ect expression of nat ure she said In My Garden the most recent works are garden in spired feelings In color tangle growth inter woven with human ele ments symbolized by flesh tones and turb ulence as though the garden be all of life re- conceived in abstract form she noted When she starts a she never it is going to turn out The creative process changes as she works Vallery says she spends more time think ing about what she is going to do than doing the actual work Some works take three weeks others take longer be fore she Is satisfied with what she has done Because of various moods she Is usually working at two paintings at the same time some times three Vallery o working habits do not fall Into the publics stereotyped view of her profession She does not use on Vallery touches up of her paintings in her home work- easel but the floor Because majority of her paintings are five or six feet high an easel is not practical For her smaller works she uses a table Vallery is still on con signment with Gallery G in Pittsburg which prov ides works for corporate collections She usually has three paintings in their gallery at one time In Canada her work Is on display at three galleries In George town Gallery House Sol in Colllngwood Skelton Galleries and in the Alice Peck room at the Burlington Cultural Centre In the near future Vallerys work will be in a show for new members of the Society of Can Artists in Merton Gallery Toronto Vallery will also be selling her work at a show for the Ontario Community Centre for the Deaf Thirty leading Canadian artists will ex hibit their own original works and the com missions for their work will go to the deaf Despite their mothers great talents Vallery three children so far have shown no in for becoming professional artists Her eldest daughter Laura is a special education teacher in and son Steve a graduate of Acton High School Is In his third year at MeMaster University In Sciences Another daughter Tanya is In grade 12 at Acton High Her husband Boris Is an electrical engineer for Electronics in He docs all his wifes framing Moving back to Can Obituary has forced Vallery to start all over again at gaining recognition in the art world She hopes her recent show in Bur lington helped her In that long climb to
