Wednesday, August 23, 1989 The Gazette Didsbury council news Haynes - Price On July 8,1989, Christine Haynes, daughter of John and Vi Haynes of Sundre, was united in marriage with Carson Price, son of Ray and Wilda Price of Medicine Hat. They were wed in a quiet ceremony on her parents' farm. The Maid of Honor was Debbie Eresman, friend of the bride and the Best Man was Blair Tellesson, friend of the groom. After a honeymoon in Jamaica the couple will reside in Medicine Hat. by Shelley Bandura A request made to Didsbury's town council asking to extend the landfill site operational hours has been refused. Despite the fact several contractors find the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. houra Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays too short, council ruled to maintain the schedule. The request was apparently spearheaded by many of the shingling firms working in town who are at the height of their busy season. * * * Members of Didsbury's town council are refusing to sympathize with the pending plight of federally owned Via Rail. The majority of councillors at Tuesday's meeting were indifferent or opposed to the letter forwarded to them by New Democrat MP Steve Butland. The letter encourages municipal support throughout the country opposing the recent cuts in government funding for the passenger rail service. Equally unacceptable, the letter states, is the way in which the government is attempting to push through its agenda without any public debate on the matter. The thing that I base my thinking on is CPR wasted a pile of money in the past few years by running things inefficiently and all they're asking for is a lot of sympathy trom the government, said Councillor Neville Marshall. Still others challenged the role of a municipal council in federally related mat- plant gets money for study by Shelley Bandura After months of resting at a standstill, progress on the development of a hor- semeat plant near Didsbury has once again been sparked. Although land for the proposed plant was purchased by Canadian Chevaline Processing Limited on a location east of Didsbury two years ago, further progress1 was stopped until it could be determined if one was even needed. According to Chevaline Represen tative Tony Schlee, however, the wheels are back in motion. The federal government under the Western Economic Diversification Program handed down a 25,000 grant August 9 to help fund a feasibility study. The results of the study are expected by the end of October. They applied to us to see if there was sufficient markets overseas. All they had to be was a processor of agricultural products to feed animals or humans. As long as the finished product is going somewhere in the food chain, they qualify, said Calvin Shillinger, senior development and assessment officer with the government. If found to be viable, Didsbury's, horsemeat plant will join the ranks of two already located in the province. They have one in Edmonton and Fort Macleod too, said Shillinger. One of the questions Shillinger said likely being pursued in the study is whether or not this plant will be good enough to compete not only at home, but abroad to places like Japan and Europe. These people would be competing not only with other producers here, but also against plants in South America and Argentina. It's a very competitive industry for the raw material and equally competitive at the other end where they're selling it so if they can become as equally competitive, then I think they have a fighting chance. But obtaining local acceptance for the idea of producing edible hor- semeat * products, ters such as this. I have to ask why we would have to be involved with this as a municipal council, said Councillor Doug Sharpe. It isn't my duty to speak on behalf of 3000 people in town on something as important as this. Mayor Don Watt, however, saw the problems Via Rail faces in a different light. I know there's no Via Rail going through here, but stop and consider the impact on other places in Canada. You can't even get space on the train going from Calgary to Vancouver, unless you have three months notice. Amtrack in the States is managing to do a great job there, and I think we have to look and see why. Despite the Mayor's comment, council defeated the motion defending Via Rail's future in the transportation industry of Canada. * * * Almost three weeks ago, most . Albertans enjoyed taking Mon- Shillinger added, may be one of the toughest obstacles the company will have to face. It's not many people out in these parts that want to see their horse slaughtered. I just don't think it's that widely accepted. Deloite, Haskins and Sells out of Calgary have been hired on as consultants to complete the government funded study. day August 7 off as a holiday. Last week, Didsbury's town council passed a motion declaring the civic holiday an official event. According to provincial labor and employment officials, unless municipalities declare the day officially, employees don't have to be paid. school opening notes AU schools in the Cqunty of Mountain View will be open for student attendance on September 5, 1989.

Although the town has been trying for over three years to get transportation officials to set up lights near the Didsbury overpass, progress on this appeal is staying at a standstill. We have no plans to put up lighting along there right now, said Acting District Engineer Tas Kollias from Alberta Transportation. Normally, the only thing that would warrant such a project would be where there's a potential safety hazard. Last winter, Kollias says the Engineering Safety Branch of Alberta Transportation assessed the situation and found at that time lighting simply wasn't needed. The reason Olds was given lighting on their interchange, Kollias says, is simple. They had a different interchange configuration that was felt required extra illumination. It was done a number of years ago too and put in right when the inter- change was constructed. While Kollias admits it may not be much consolation, he says Didsbury isn't alone in their plea. We have had numerous requests from other municipalities as well. High River, for exam* 3311), will assist parents with questions or problems concerning busing or busing routes.

Fifty-five years ago, one out of every four Americans lived on a farm. pie, has also appealed to us, but we didn't consider it because we feel it's not a safety hazard. The proposition of installing lights along the highway at every town turn-off, Kollias says, would also be very costly. It's an expensive proposition and then you have the operating costs year in and year out too once they're installed. Kollias estimates the cost of installing even partial illumination along the route would top 60,000. Partial illumination, he explained, would be the style of lighting most likely chosen for a smaller municipal interchange like Didsbury's. Full illumination, like for larger urban centers would be about 400,000. The cost to maintain even a partially illuminated strip, Kollias added, would be about 4000 - 5000 per year. Full illumination projects would cost 20,000 per year to maintain. Didsbury Councillor Al Engel re-introduced the topic of highway lighting at the last council meeting, stating he heard as long as the Town kept appealing to the Branch, their case would stand a better chance of being accepted. What would be the use, they've always said forget it, said Councillor Don Moore. Mayor Don Watt told council some time in the future the Town's new Economic Development Officer could be recommended to pursue the issue. 2.95/Metre Up WE HAVE A COMPLETE RANGE OF SEWING NOTIONS - LACES - TRIMS FOR ALL HOME EC STUDENTS GIRLS DRESSES byNadia7-14 Plaids Er Ginghams Checks Polyester Flannel 25.00 BOYS SWEAT TOPS Long Sleeve - Crew Neck Sizes S-M-L 14.95 GIRLS SWEAT TOPS Cotton Poly Fleece Asst'd.
