supplementary estimates for Canada 1989-90 The Gazette Town workers were out in full force early Friday morning adorning street lamps with Christmas fare. Trees and Christmas lights are slowly being put up across Olds in businesses and Olds College. Treasury Board President Robert de Cotret has tabled in the House of Commons the government's Sup plementary Estimates for the current (1989 - 90) fiscal year, amount to 1.5 billion and 1,704 person-years. Supplementary Estimates provide for several items that have arisen since Main Estimates were finalized. They bring to 132.9 billion the total budgetary estimates tabled for 1989-90. This is well within the expenditure framework set out by the minister of Finance in the April 1989 Budget. Major items in these Supplementary Estimates include: - 600 million to convert debt owed to back to the past: part two by Anthony Connolly In these times of Back To The Future: Part Two'' and the impending turn of the century it's a refreshing change to examine our past. For close to six months the Mountainview Museum of Olds has been lost due to renovations, but now the archive of our past is emerging once again to give us another chance to check out history. This week the newly revamped version of the MVMO will open its doors. Regular patrons will find more displays, more space and a lot of improvements. Newcomers will glance into a world of the 1900's where people wore formal attire to the opera, rode bicycles with wooden rims, got their education in one- room schools, or made giant patchwork quilts by lamplight. It has been an ardous task. Alice Shewchuk, volunteer coordinator, said of the renovations. handicraft guild After a short meeting on November 16 members enjoyed making a quick 'craft instructed by Barbara Dodd, Myrtle Taylor and Yvonne Craig. Our next meeting in December will be election of officers, Joyce Dezall and Annie Miller being on the nominating committee. This will be our Christ mas party with an exchange of gifts. The directors will do the planning of our party but all members are asked to bring a few goodies from their Christmas baking to help towards the lunch. At this time the Handicraft Guild would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 1990. And it's still not over. Shewchuk says while the museum will be open to the public, Monday to Friday from 10:00 until noon and again 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.. volunteers will continue to work setting up displays. Work in progress includes the one-room classroom, a typical 1900's kitchen, back porch and living quarto's. An improvement patrons will notice is that the museum has gotten a lot bigger inside. The display area has been enlarged by eight feet, or 450 square feet. The MVMO is also able to store more materials now with the addition of a very large rectangular paper history storage area. An office has been added to the old entrance. A new entrance faces 51st Avenue westward. All of this couldn't have been completed without volunteers, Alice said. Corliss Petersen, Bunny Griffiths, Edith Bolt, and Ted Rokosh have all contributed their time, Shewchuk Said. But history is a taxing subject that requires many people, she said. Volunteers are still needed to man the reception area during the week. In these times of the future maybe it's time to go back to the past. At least for part two of the new MVMO.

These resources are primarily for public inquiries, processing of returns and various audit programs. The additional person- years included in these estimates will be offset by transfers from other departments and by lapses elsewhere in government. letter to the editor Dear Editor. The Town Council has been requesting its citizens to write our MLA and the Minister of Advanced Education requesting funding for a proposed Aqua- Leisure Centre to be built at Olds College. I would like to support such a facility, but at what cost? Olds has once again Olds registers exotic animals by Shelley Bandura When most of us think of exotic animals, our thoughts run to the jungles of Africa where snakes and reptiles roam freely. But what about Olds, Alberta? To help keep track. Fish and Wildlife officials in Olds have begun implementing the permit process for the owners of all exotic animals in the area, It's still a very new program .,. . for years there was never rigid control, but when the new Wildlife Act came oa things changed, says Fish and Wildlife official Norm Backer. An amnesty period of six months is provided been denied approval for a new school, our garbage problem is growing and yet Town Council is putting its energy in a letter writing campaign for a facility that is a luxury item to be built on property not even in the town of Olds Is swimming more important than the education of our children? Town Council seems to think so. Perhaps we could use a new Aqua Centre to house the garbage that seems to grow daily. I urge this town to get its priorities straight. Sincerely, A Citizen for owners to register such animals, and with the deadline officially passed, results have been recorded. We have had numerous inquiries on other animals. In addition to the three we registered, there were half a dozen people who phoned in but these were excluded and didn't end up requiring any permits, said Gerry Flipchuk. To date, officials at the Olds office have charted two Red Eared Slider turtles and one Spider Monkey in their files, starting a record keeping system designed to protect not only people, but also the environment. It is very important that we address all the risks ... Flipchuk explained. Disease control is especially impor tant, not only to the animal itself, but also to humans. Turtles, for example, are well known carriers of Salmonella. But disease control is just one aspect of concern. The welfare of the animal is also considered; especially if the animal is an endangered species. With a maximum penalty of 2500 for illegal possession of an exotic animal, pet owners may fear discovery now that the registration deadline is Depending on the situation though. Glen Rowen from the Red Deer Fish and Wildlife Division says exotic animal owners may still be able to obtain permits for their pete. We are going to administer this legislation as it Wednesday, December 6,1989 was set out to be. I don't believe we are in a position to answer the deadline issue in black and white though . . we would have to look at each specific instance to make a decision on whether we'd allow an exotic animal to be registered now. If an animal can't be registered and is confiscated, Rowen says many of the pets are taken to research facilities or zoos. We could also consider removal of an animal to a jurisdiction that could authorize it legally. Rowan believes there's really no excuse for not being aware the registration process was actively in place because of the extensive advertising done prior and during the six month period If in doubt, Gerry Flipchuk recommends you call the Fish and Wildlife department and ask. People don't think of their pet as an exotic animal most of the time ... to them it's just a pet. We suggest people call us to ask. TWO WW5 TO BRIGHTEN THE HOUD/WS.
