Page 16 TSSIw-frfc-g A sign of the times. County work crews try tp clean up the streets before covering them with sand this winter. Olds town council notes by Janice Harrington Town of Olds business licence fees have been officially raised by town council. The fees will increase 50 per cent to incorporate the cost of inclusion in the town's Green Pages. All businesses requiring a licence in the Town of Olds will now be included in the business directory. Previously, businesses had to pay extra to be listed. A resident business licence will now cost 75.00. Non-resident business licences will cost 150.00. While the vote to raise the fees was unanimous not all councillors totally agreed with the increase. I don't like to get anything increased, we have enough taxes already, said Councillor Jim Spicer. But this is going to a good cause and I agree with it if it is good for Olds. * * At least two groups looking for money will soon be knocking on Olds doors. Town council recently gave permission for two charitable groups to canvass Olds for donations. The Alberta Heart and Stoke Foundation will begin door knocking during February. The Canadian Diabetes Foundation of Alberta will be here November 5 through 10. * * * The Town of Olds will once again deck the halls. Town council voted to support the Olds Chamber of Commerce by donating a Christmas tree for the group's Christmas decoration plans. Mayor Pjb Arm strong said he liked the idea of erecting a Christmas tree in Olds again. We had one for a number of years, but it got pretty dilapidated and people kept stealing the light bulbs so they took it down. It will be nice to have another one up in the downtown area. The town will supply The Gazette the tree and the labour to install it. The Chamber will supply the light bulbs. The town also agreed to supply the power for -ghting the tree during the holiday season. It is getting awfully expensive to be a kid these days, and the town office will attest to it. The town recently decided to replace an aging play structure in the Silverthom Park - at a cost of 12,000. The council voted to replace the structure because it was a neighborhood feature. The old one was put there by the developer but it had dry rot and was unsafe. I think it is kind of nice to have it replaced because it was something that was there wht-n people bought their houses in the area, said Town Manager Ron Hilton. Hilton said the structure itself will cost about 10,000. but added installation costs will make up the rest. Hilton hopes to get volunteer help for the Wednesday, October 17, 1990 Sundre town council meeting At the Sundre Town Council meeting on October 9, a number of items were discussed and/or approved The week of October 14 to 20 will be known as Alberta Foster Family week. * Approval was given to the Heart and Stroke Foundation to canvass for donations in the town. * A garbage hauling contract for the next 15 months was discussed and approved. A motion was put forward to recycle paper in Sundre. Of initial interest would be newspapers, and recyclable coarse papers, not including fine paper, junk mail, and installation. The town will use funds from the 1990 Ample grant recently received from the provincial government for the project. magazines. The system proposed would have the paper collected at the town office and at the transfer station, then taken to : the recycling facilities at the Calgary Herald. Cardboard recycling may become available in a few months. * * * A bylaw establishing an arena committee was discussed and passed. The bylaw sets out guidelines on membership and quorum requirements. -' Steps were taken that would bring about a feasibility study for a new swimming pool in town. ** * A motion was also, brought up that would support Didsbury in their attempt to halt the process that would bring in a new weighted voting system for the administration of waste management in the county. Under the proposed system, towns would be given a number of votes proportionate to their population. This would be somewhat, inaccurate since in the rural areas many people burn their garbage. This means that while the rural population is high, the amount of the total cost they share ia low, and so would not be well represented by the weighted system proposed. IODE news The October meeting of Baron Tweedsmuir Chapter of IODE was held Pctobef 1 with nine members present and 10 volunteer hours recorded. Secretary Jean Rix read the minutes which were approved as read. National and provincial newsletters were read and correspondence was dealt with. *. Mora Dennis reported on the very successful Zone Conference held here on September 20. She thanked all members for their participation. There were delegates from Calgary, Edmonton, Wetaskiwin, Carstairs and Innisfail. Ida Stanley Tober of Project Read Soon spoke on the Adult Literacy Program that ia run in Olds. An informative question period followed. Members discussed the Christmas meeting and laying of the wreath for the Remembrance Day Service. Jean Rix served a tasty lunch. The next meeting will beheld November 12 in the Olds Elementary School Library. Shall Canada Lanitad UPDATE Caroline Site Preparation Begins Over the last couple of days you may have noticed some activity around the Shell Caroline plant site. Following the Energy Resources Conservation Board's (ERCB) approval of our project, we've recently begun some initial preparatory work at the Caroline plant site, including site clearing and grading activities. Over the next 30 months construction on the Caroline project will employ an average workforce of 755 people, peaking at 1,620. Shell will be working with its prime contractors in charge of field and plant construction, Petrotech and Dilcon, to maximize opportunities for local businesses and individuals. Our three information offices will remain open throughout construction to provide information on employment opportunities. We will also be posting the names of businesses which have been awarded contracts at our offices to allow local businesses and individuals to contact them directly regarding further subcontract and employment opportunities.
