Page 4 new chief centurion The Gazette Wednesday, September 27, 1989 by Anthony Connolly Oman is an omen. The new Olds RCMP sergeant, six feet tall with broad shoulders and close-cropped hair, is a testament to presence. When the new chief centurion, of the Olds RCMP detachment, walks into a room or greets you with a smile, an instant deterrent to crime develops. This guy is the law. It is no wonder, then, that this officer is an advocate of police visibility. He wants his force to be known in the community as coaches, social workers and neighbors. Omen said his happiest day in Olds is when townspeople an officer. * within the community. Oman graduated from But, it is a two-way RCMP academy at street.

Instead of putting more people in jail the board would serve to enlighten officers on the social aspects of crime, the sergeant said. He said the idea of officers delving into social work is nothing new. We're not a police force, we're a service. Oman estimates the RCMP officers spent most of their time mediating disputes both domestic and financial. A board of individuals, from the community, would help police become better equipped to deal in the sociology of crime. We can't ask the community to help and then set up a police fortress, Oman said. The police will attempt to share as much information with the public as possible. We have to be able to communicate back to them, the sergeant said. Oman says the police have to do something and this may be it. For many years we've been into crime prevention, but crime rates keep on increasing. We have to do something. The board would make the police accountable to the taxpayer. We're not here for the politicians, we're here for the taxpayer, he said. And to help taxpayers get the most for their money the police are asking how to do their job. You don't have to be a professional or a business person to get involved. People on welfare may be the best qualified to help. The process of gathering such an ensemble will take time, but Oman and his staff are beginning to weave into the very fabric of this community. His name is John. university elicits public response by Shelley Bandura Are you happy with the quality of education being provided by our universities? According to University of Calgary Senate Member Rita Thompson, questioning any regulated system, especially an educational one, can be more beneficial than you think. It's your tax dollars too, don't forget. To me, it's so important that together we learn about what we can do for each other to make our planning more functional in the future. After taking time to review President Murray Fraser's Draft Mission Statement issued last May, Thompson, along with other Senate members at the University, decided to draft a survey designed to gather public input on its content. In it, Fraser formulates a number of principles he feels are essential to implement if the University is to grow successfully as a viable educational center. Two of the 12 principles listed in the report involve recruiting more students from outside the local area and reinforcing ties with the University's immediate geographical community. But, any one of the principles could be subject to scrutiny, according to Thompson. Questions, such as: Should universities be available only to those who can afford them? or Should universities allow only those students in who can pass the entrance exam? Thompson says can also easily arise. Here's an opportunity at a grass-roots level to voice our opinion and say what it should be or question why it isn't that way. the University of Alberta went through a similar process to determine C of C notes summer games legacy now be able to work with a dance partner.

Each of these applications were classified under the Individual Athlete/Artist Grant and so received a one time only grant of 200.00. Donna Ahlf, Didsbury, will use her grant to subsidize her registration for a Certification seminar for teaching stenciling. Donna is actively involved in teaching stenciling in the community for Further Education and feels this course will enhance her ability as an instructor. Jason Valleua. Didsbury, will use his grant to subsidize his registration fee to attend Musicamrose. The Musicamrose program offers an extensive musical skill environment with individual musical attention as well as a setting where students can interact with other musicians throughout the province Jason plans to share his musical abilities with this community. Evelyn Buschert, Carstairs, will apply her individual athlete grant towards coaching costs for her to advance her skills in figure skating. by Anthony Connolly The Olds Chamber of Commerce, carrying out past tradition, is organizing an all candidates' forum for early October. President Jim Smith raised the idea at the latest C of C meeting, held Wednesday, saying that chambers in the past had considered organizing the candidates' forum a function of the business community. Of the 12 to 15 business people in attendance only Marlys Kaiser offered to help organize the evening of public debate by the candidates. She said in the past the forums have used Olds College facilities, such as the lecture theatre, to house the gathering. Kaiser said she would the teams this past year which included attending the Alberta Summer Games in August. The grant received from the Mountain View Summer Games Legacy Foundation assisted the teams in acquiring quality coaching and competition. look in to getting a date settled and confirm that the lecture theatre could be used. All candidates running in the upcoming civic election as well as senatorial candidates would be asked to attend. * * A yearly directory listing various business sectors is being considered by the Olds Chamber of Commerce. The business directory, or Green Pages , would be mailed to some 13,000 to 15,000 mail boxes from , Trochu, Three Hills, Carstairs, Sundre and Innisfail, Hugh Bodmer, the town's economic development coordinator said at the chamber meeting held last week. Businesses would be classified individually by their section, he said. A plumbing business, for instance, would be listed under plumbing. A joint venture, between the Economic Development Committee and the Chamber of Commerce, would oversee the project. The directory would cost about 12,000 to 15,000 to produce 20,000 copies of it, Bodmer said. The extra directories, left after the mail drop, would be used to introduce new citizens to Olds to the businesses available. To fund the project, Bodmer suggested that business card size ads could be sold to A full size business card size ad would cost roughly 100, he said. Half an advertisement would mean half the price, or 50, Bodmer went on to illustrate. Every business in town would be included in the directory, but advertising would be exclusive to those who pay for them, he said. With no firm committment from those in attendance at the meeting, Bodmer said the Economic Development Committee and interested chamber members would continue to work on the project. The Green Pages could be in mail boxes by January, Bodmer said. 1983 Pontiac 6000 LE Sedan V6 auto, radio, air conditioning, power locks and radio -, mmmge, with cassette NOW ap9j99U 1986 GMC Full Size Jimmy Sierra Classic 4x4 With full equipment including . mtM trailer hitch Now 15,500 1981 Plymouth Caravelle * - oo V8 auto, bucket seats, etc Now 2,950 1980 Mercury Marquis Sedan k* oo VB auto, loaded with extras Now 52,750 1987 Pontiac S/E Sedan With V6 auto, air cond., power windows, power locks, aa. at am AK AOO AM/FM cassette Now 512,950 1980 Citation Sedan V6 auto, power steering and brakes, radio, etc 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Station Wagon 2.62, V6, automatic, air cond., AM/FM radio cassette . 1988 Pontiac Firefly Coupe mmmao 4 cyl., auto, radio Now 57,350 1976 GMC Suburban 454 V8, auto, air cond. and er.

Thompson's area. Olds, has been just one of those chosen by their 14 member task force set out to gather information from rural area around southern and central Alberta. We really need to take time to question our underlying assumptions and examine our unquestioned beliefs. As well, Thompson feels it is their duty to inquire into any matter that might better the usefulness of the university and collect information arising between any community and a higher learning facility. It allows us to question our own assumptions and that's never in vain. What we are able to gather here may or may not be acted upon, but it will make a difference by fostering power to the people. Because universities traditionally have a good supply of revenue, values tend to become more project driven than principle driven. Now is the time to examine these principles and guide the people at the university into the 21st century. Anyone interested in providing input to the questionnaire or wanting to have their views heard are encouraged to attend the public meeting September 28 at Olds College. If you plan the battle, you will not battle the plan.
