Penetang to be CBC pilot project By the end of October, local Francophone radio listeners can tune into the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations (CBC) air- waves and hear programm- ing right from the heart of Huronia. According to Co- ordinator of Canadian French Radio Huronia (CFRH) Jean Guy Desroches, a committee responsible for the creation of the French language net- work in the Pene- tanguishene area have been given access to the CBC retransmitters in a pilot project. Although the CFRH committee orginally hoped to have a full-time station broadcasting from the third floor of the French Centre in Penetang, without CRTC approval the group will, start out transmitting through the CBC a few hours a day. Desroches said the board are presently negotiating with the CBC on the number of hours and the exact times they will be able to retransmit the local French language programming. "'Penetanguishene has been chosen as pilot pro- ject by the CBC, we are the first French community to use their retransmitters,"' said Desroches. "If we are successful it will set a policy across the country a, _n Co-ordinator where the CBC is available." Even now before the sta- tion is on the air, three peo- ple are employed - Desroches, a secretary and a technician who is train- ing at CKBB in Barrie. The directors of the local project, funded mainly through ACFO, are work- ing towards getting a Win- tario grant to help sub- sidize the cost of the sta- tion since they will not get any revenue through advertising since it is not allowed on the CBC net- work, according to Desroches. This year's operation and administration budget of the part-time station is already $50,000. The emphasis of the sta- tion will be our French community said Desroches with not only the area Ex-mayor wants Hall of Fame Former Town of Penetanguishene Mayor Vince Moreau wants to see an area of the Penetang Arena put aside to honour local sporting figures who have helped put the Town on the map. In an interview Friday, Moreau said he has gone to the Town's Arena, Parks and Recreation Board and has been given the board's support on the idea. " Wits. Moreau, a life-long resi- dent of the Town, said he will now strike a commit- tee to help him with his project. "T will now formulate a group to do the legwork of who should be in the display," said Moreau. "Although it is strictly sports now, I'm not saying we wouldn't expand it to include others in Museum restoration Contractors are slowly getting things back together at the Centennial Museum. The Penetang." Although the decision has not been finalized where the display will be put in the Arena, Moreau said he would like to see it in the downstairs lobby of the rink. "T don't want it tucked away so that people have to go looking for it," said Moreau.

But are you aware that we do offer an inter-library loan service? Let one of the people on staff know which book you require and they will try to get it for you from another library in the area. The success rate is high in the acquisition of inter- library books to loan but you have to be willing to wait, maybe 3 to 4 weeks, for these volumes. Also offered on loan are Books on Tape, great for the commuter or to use for the entire family while on holidays or travelling. Film catalogues are available for your perusal from the National Film Board and the Ontario Library Service. If you bor- row a film, we have a 16 mm projector to rent for a small fee.

In order to man the station, Desroches said they will be relying on members of the community to help out with the station by doing on-air and writing as well. The studios are all set up > workers were putting a new foundaiton under the building. Patients and staff at the Mental Health Centre took a bit of a break from their regular routine last week to enjoy some summer activities. With all the shops cancelled for holidays, the recreational staff at the Cen- Rotary catch Young Terry Searles (centre) got a boost from the members of the Penetang Rotary Club last Monday night when the first winners in the 4th annual Rotary club Fish Hunt were announced. Members on the third level and the co-ordinator said the equipment for the station will be in place by the end of September, giving the 15-year radio veteran, one month to familiarize others involved with the station with the equipment. Once the retransmitting gets off the ground, the committee will go to the CRTC for permission to set up full-time programming without the CBE. Desroches said if everything goes as planned the independent network will be on the air by the fall of 1987.

Dash Contractor's bid of $968,044.21 for the North end sewer system was the lowest of the three tenders registered with the municipal offices. Other bids were registered by Arnott Con- struction of Collingwood and Don Sherk Construc- tion of Penetang. At the same time council also accepted Dash's tender for the West end sanitary sewer project at an estimated cost of $514,141.90. Although the projects have not yet received On- tario Municipal Board fun- ding and approval, the Town is confident they will get the green light in com- pleting the sanitary sewers in the Town. Council held the special meeting to pass the mo- tions in order that the work could commence on the new systems before the Winter months. Administrator Yvon Gagne said now that the contract has been award- ed, representatives from the firm and the Town of- fice have been sitting down and been laying out a con- struction schedule. Gagne said with the Robert Street West project it is very important that the schedule of construction be tabled so that all of the west end is not all blocked off at once. Council hopes to: have the paperwork completed so the final sewer project in the Town can get underway. tre planned a week of activities that included everything from an afternoon at the beach, to a trip to Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons.
