They are The Gazette there to represent their ancestors, rather than for any work they themselves may have done. The Dodds are representing Mr. and Mrs. John Dodd, the man and wife team who contributed so much to the fair early in this century. Zelda Shackleton is representing many of the pioneer fair workers of 90 years ago. Her father George Rands was president oiost of the time from 1904 to 1916. Zelda's father-in-law Fred Shackleton was president in 1900. Fred's brother Joe Shackleton was a director at the turn of the century. Zelda's mother, Mrs. Rands, was an active worker for many years at the beginning of the century. Mrs. Fred Shackleton's father John Silverthorne was a charter member and a director in 1898, and incidentally, the first post master in Olds. Construction of the new livestock pavilion is behind schedule due to the frequent rains. However, there will be a shell up to provide for housing of the heavy horse entries. This will allow the sheep entries to be housed in the Sportsplex, and will eliminate the necessity of installing dirt on the floor in that facility as was necessary when the heavy horses were housed there. Rather than have the various livestock shows scattered all over the grounds it is planned to have the heavy horse, dairy and beef cattle shows in the infield within the race track. A major change will be running the crowd pleasing heavy horse Hitch classes in front of the grandstand Sunday morning for the viewing comfort of spectators. Times of the various livestock shows will be listed on the fair program. interactive video at Wednesday, July 25, 1990 library by the workers in this industry such as pelvic dislocation, uncertain airconditioning, drafty working conditions and last, but not least, consideration for aging and living.

The Olds Municipal Library will be doing its part to help people develop the refusal skills July 23-28 with the installation of an interactive video program. The video, supplied by Shell Canada, entitled The Party allows viewers to become characters in scenes, Head Librarian Carol Surette says. The Target Interactive Program, or TIP, supplies a scene and viewers choose whom they would like to be in the scene and make decisions, she said. The viewer then follows the character and their decision on drugs and alcohol through a scene to resolution or consequence. The idea behind the video is to help people develop a system of refusing drugs. The week-long stay of the video presentation will be accompanied by a drug counselling professional. The counsellor will be on hand for questions, Monday, July 23 and Thursday, July 26. ref7ircircir?rfi i? -- rafnrLflnilfj'ffi-i? fi BGJtiJMMT things we'd like to see Old Man Sun to turn on his charm and hasten the development of what could be a top notch grain crop. Old Man Sun to stand bright in a cloudless sky so that farmers could complete their haying operation. Old Man Sun to shine brightly so that all the folks can get their new homes finished. Old Man Sun to reserve three of his brightest days in August for the Olds Fair. Old Man Sun to shine steadily so that the town crews can get our streets back into reasonable shape. Old Man Sun to point some councillor in the direction of the town's sewage treatment plant so that council can be made aware of the horrific eyesore that the town's creating by dumping unused material at this site. Old Man Sun to wave his magic wand so that all the rain delayed flower gardens at Olds College can bloom and beautify. Old Man Sun to shine in the windows of the PM's office in Ottawa and awaken the occupants so that the country can see action and not listen to meaningless words.

The Prime Minister offered Elizah Harper and the natives of Manitoba a Royal Commission to look into aboriginal complaints in exchange for support for the ill- fated Meech Lake Constitutional package. These complaints and problems go far beyond the boundaries of Manitoba and now they have exploded in Quebec as the native claims to a piece of land are standing to the teepees of the Mohawk elders. Old Man Sun to cast a ray of hope to the Shell Consortium in their bid to develop the sour gas deposits at Sundre. Old Man Sun to warm the hearts of those in charge of dispensing flood relief funds so that those who suffered damage can smile again. Old Man Sun to cast a ray of hope over all those who are sick and afflicted in nursing homes and hospitals. Old Man Sun to bring laughter, fun and safety to all the little ones as they and their parents fashion a summer filled with holidays. Old Man Sun to wipe away the tears and sorrows that people of all faiths have as the final chapters are written in the investigation of the Catholic Church in Newfoundland. Old Man Sun to reserve a few of his brightest beams for those who have stayed faithful to each other for 50 years and more. Old Man Sun to dry the tears of those who mourn the passing of a loved one and to remind them that like you life is not endless and that there is always darkness before you shine again. So Old Man Sun, rise and shine, we need you every day. message doff the fedora threatened by a golf course expansion. Indeed the situation at Oka has claimed the life of one police officer and threatens to bail over into armed warfare unless resolved. Late last week the Native Affairs Minister, Tom Sindon, offered to get the federal government involved in the dispute. Thafs fine - but there are more problems on the table than the Mohawk - Oka squabble and maybe just maybe it is time for the Prime Minister to appoint that Royal Commission (several if necessary) and resolve all the outstanding reasonable native land claims. While moisture conditions have been more than ideal, it takes manpower and machines to turn our parks and playgrounds into attractive, eye appealing areas. Thafs what has happened in Olds this summer and it is a pleasure to doff the fedora and say thank you to the people responsible. Our salute includes the young, energetic crew at the golf course who by trimming the trees are greatly improving the ap pearance of this facility. Olds is blessed with an abundance of open space that attracts new residents. To have these areas handsome, manicured and attractive is a real asset. We can shove out our chests and burst a few buttons and even boast a wee bit this year thanks to the good folks who are looking after our parks and playgrounds. Tie Gazette Published Weekly at Olds.
