) YOU HAD TELEVISION PROBLEMS!
pre's Why..ee-

March 31, 1983, Crowder Communications
stalled 3 additional channels plus one
radio station in Tumbler Ridge. ( A
ouurth TV channel will-.be added during

he week of April 4 giving a total of 5
iewing stations (the dish which has been
roadcasting CBC North is broadcasting a
ovie channel).

ynoon Saturday, April 2, our new
tations were off the air because a
omputer in Ontario didn't know we were

ody for communications) gave Canadian
atellite Communications Inc. (i.e.
encom who control the satellite) a
emporary file number to authorize the
R TV Society to transmit. This number
as apparently not entered into the
omputer. When the computer did its
outine month-end check of users, it

ecording to its records we had no CRIC
ile number and it immediately scrambled
ur reception.

ou were wrong when you thought you had
0 TV - you actually had scrambled TV.

the problem was sorted out when offices
pened Monday morning. Cancom offers
unbler Ridge their apologies for the
versight and inconvenience.

n additional comment. Cancom now has
pproval to transmit American stations.
he equipment cost for unscrambling

ach station is about $4,000. If

there is sufficient interest in
broadcasting any of these stations,

e may seek funds/donations toward

the equipment purchase.

THE TUMBLER RIDGE YOUTH DANCE

On Thursday, March 31, there was

a Tumbler Ridge Youth Dance for
Grades 5, 6 and 7, this dance
being really the first dance for
quite a few of the kids. My
personal feeling toward the dance
is that it was very well organized
and that I am looking forward to
the next one.

We saw a video tape which was

called Six Pack. The chaperones

at the dance were Mrs. Nuss,

Mr. and Mrs. Brochu and Mrs. Radies.
First of all we danced for about

an hour and a half. Then we saw
the video tape. Then we cleaned

up and went home.
