Glamis WI In July we called bingo at the Mount View Lodge - loonies were the prizes, with one for a bingo and three for the blackout. We served angel cake, ice cream and strawberries, a very pleasant afternoon was spent. August was our outing, with a boun- tious picnic dinner at the James River Campgrounds. We had a very good turnout of members and as our guests we entertained five husbands who we honored by having them help themselves first to the picnic fare. The sun shone and it was a most enjoyable meal Then we went to the studio of artist John Stone, where we viewed his many beautiful paintings, some of which were purchased by our group. We then proceeded down the highway to Sundre where we visited their well kept and very interesting museum. Some of us dropped in to the nearby thrift shop, we then went to the park by Sundre bridge and had coffee and lunch before we went home after an enjoyable day well spent. September 5 we enjoyed a lovely drive through the country to Cremona where Elsie Pekse welcomed us to her home to start our new season of WI meetings. There were 15 members and two visitors present, namely Alma Harper and Mrs. Ian Stilton. O Canada was sung and the WI pledge given. Our hostess's choice of a song was She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain When She Comes. Minutes were read and adopted. Roll call was The subject we liked best at school, most liked spelling. We all planned to take part in Project Read In on September 13 and report to the library. We are all to support Hospital Day on Oc tober 18 at the Legion in some way. Members who are able are to meet at the home of Louella Rose at 1:00 p.m. on October 22 with written ideas for our 1992 program books, also for our Christmas outing and meeting and any ideas we may have for making money. Nancy Herbert gave the treasurer's report and Esther Elliott gave the Sunshine report. She reminded the ladies that we are behind with birthday gift draws. There should be quite a few at our next meeting, Elsie Pekse had her gift ready and on the draw it was won by Esther Saunders. Ruth Stauffer gave a good report on the Provincial Conference which was held at the Olds College June 9 to 14. Grace Duff gave her paper on health, entitled Your Kidneys Talking To You, things to do to be good to your kidneys. A lovely and very sumptuous lunch was served by Elsie Pekse and Peggy Stirton, then we drove horne through the beautiful west country where harvest operations were going on in the fields. BID kicks off successful programming for businesses through Olds College Entrepreneurs throughout the area are being given a fighting chance for success and profit this fall with the roster of new programs being offered at the Business Idea and Development Society (BID) through Olds CoUege. BID General Manager Susan Bannerman, is excited about the quality of guidance being offered through their services. We are hoping the time and energy invested by employers or employees taking the programs will benefit them on both a personal and financial level in the future. In operation for one year now, BID intends to continue making full use of the strong resource of networking experts available at the College. The reason BID is centered here is because of the valuable consulting services faculty and staff at Olds College are able to provide, Bannerman adds. It's really a very conducive environment for small business owners or their employees to enter into - it gives them the confidence they need to build a successful future. One of BID'S newest ventures particularly geared to that objective is the Owner/Manager Transition Training program. It is one both their society and the University of Calgary are offering in cooperation with Alberta Agriculture. I am really excited about this one. It is very specific; using strategic planning to guide any manager through that crucial decision-making period where they must decide between upgrading or down scaling their operations to become more profitable, Bannerman explains. Also new this year is the full listing of seminars, sessions and programs on practically all facets of business and career development. We are working in close connection to Extension Services, here at the College, to bring this all together. We have everything from 80 hour certificate courses on developing a complete business marketing plan to three-hour seminars on such topics as stress management. Additional topics involve practical training in: Computer Literacy, Business Com munication, and Writing your Business Plan. After taking about eight of the courses, you qualify for a business certificate from Olds CoUege, Bannerman says. For all of these, we are bringing in industry experts. This allows the participants to go away with some real hands-on experience. The cost to become a full member of BID is a non-refundable application fee plus a monthly fee. Short-term assistance is, however, also available through associate memberships. More information about The Business Idea and Development Society (BID) and/or the new programs being offered this fall are available by calling General Manager Susan Bannerman at (403) 556-4631. The old man arrived at the doctor's office at 2 p.m. for his appointment. Two - three - four hours later he was still in the waiting room. Finally, in disgust, he got up to go. As he passed the nurse he said, Guess I'll go home and die a riatural death.

When Hugh Davies took down the old mercury vapour yard light, and put up a high pressure sodium light fixture, he made a brilliant move. First, he earned a 20 rebate. Then he started saving on energy costs every month, because energy-efficient HPS lights deliver more light for less money. A 150-watt HPS light, for example, is 45 brighter - and 35 more cost-efficient - than a 250-watt mercury vapour light. This translates to savings of about 115 over the next 5 years, and that's not counting the 20 rebate. It all adds up to money in the bank for Power Smart people like Hugh Davies. Whether you're switching from MV to HPS, or purchasing your first HPS yard light, you can get in on the rebate Ask your TransAlta representative (267-7533) about the Power Smart Efficient Yard Light Program today.
