DOWN ON THE FARM hv John Schmidt Dean of Alberta's Agricultural Reporters UN. Peace-Keeping Force Needed In Alberta The cancealafcon of the Alberta government-a 'participation in the official opening of the Oldman Dam was par for the course. It was the culmination of a long series of strategic retreats by the government resulting from pressure against rural advancement by loudmouthed urban-based pressure groups and activists. It's getting so bad the decent tax-paying citizens of this province may have to apply to the United Nations for a peece- keeping force to be sent in every time the government makes a public appearance. In this case, the trouble was fomented by guerillas who discovered they could threaten the government because of political cowardice. It's ironic that we consign brave young Canadian soldiers to a U.N. peace-keeping force ' in some foreign country with an unspellable name while in Alberta the government retreats when a few political goons holler boo. Now. who is it that objects to the Alberta government when it gives its, support - and our Money - to one of the greatest economic projects in the history of southern Alberta? The first dissia-lent group that comes to mind is an organization of 500 registered jnder the Alberta Societies Act and jokingly called Friends of the Oldman River Society. Now, who are the agitators who run this society whose chief asset seems to be a copying-machine for turning out news releases? For the year ended Sept. 30, 1990, the Alberta Department of Consumer and Corporate Af fairs, which oversees the act, shows the directors as Cliff Wallis. 615 Deer Croft Way, Calgary; Martha Hostuch. Box 1288, Rocky Mountain House; Barb Goodwin, 21 Selkirk Rd., Lethbridge; Andy Russell, Box 790, Turner Valley; H. John Russell. Box 68, Waterton Park; James Hawthorne, 4805 - 48th St.. Suite 306. Red Deer, and John Scott Black. 623 - 10th St. S., Lethbridge. Wallis is listed in that reporting period as president. He is a botanist and chamelon-like figure on the environmental scene, vyho is principel in Cottonwood Consultants Ltd. Martha Kostuch is a veterinarian with a nifty pair of running shoes and a fancy pair of spectacles, who works 26-hour days, according to Bernie But- terwick. Secretary-treasurer is Barb Goodwin, a nonentity. Andy Russell is a reformed big game hunter and director. John Scott Black is a director, who has been a radio disc jockey. H. John Russell and James Hawthorne, the other two directors, are largely unknown. means? The agriculture industry should have its own ceremony. It doesn't have to be filled with a lot . ,. .. r political party. Enough enough; let us get on with the celebrations. This would make a good Thanksgiving Day project. This gives the lie to Gerald H. Blake of Red Deer writing about the Oldman dam as a monument to greed and arrogance ' Qually shot an 85 that first day, but came back with rounds of 81 and 77 to get back into contention. It was a tough course, and the tournament winner only scored under 80 once. It turned out to be a bit of a character win for the Alberta team, which found itself 10 strokes behind after the first round. They fought back to win the title by nine strokes. For Qually, on her third trip to the junior national tournament, the finish was an excellent way to top off the summer of competition. It got me really looking forward to college, and playing college .golf. It gave me a lot of confidence, she said. Kareen will be joining her older sister Kim as a member of the University of North Carolina Greensboro golf team. Chrest, meanwhile. The Gazette second place finish. In team tournament play the scores of the top three players on four player teams are counted towards the overall team results. We were kind of disappointed, it was just one of those things and there's nothing we could do about it. But we were happy with the way we finished, Chrest said. It was Chrest's first appearance at a national tournament, and at 16 he still has two more years of junior golf to play, and set some goals based on this year's results. He said he would like to just try and get back there, and shoot for a top 10 or top five finish. A buddy of mine (Dave Curtis) got a top five this year and he's 18, so maybe when 'I'm 18 I'U be able to finish in the top five. The . competition wasn't ae tough as Chrest imagined it might be, after the Alberta team's experience at the Americas Cup tournament, pitting top Canadian teams against American state teams, on one of Oregon's top rated courses. There were still some pretty good golfers (at Sydney) but Canadians just don't golf as well, they just don't get the chance to play as much, he said. Page Highs iway - Choline plant road to be tendered XtValZVZ P mh overall in together the pack, of 140 junior and juvenile golfers, but scores of 74, 76, 77, and 71 over four rounds made him number four among juvenile comment to greea ana BiruaaiH,****..., petitors at the junior, the Stettler Independent. He juvemle national tour- whines that the cost of the dam nament in Sydney, will saddle Albertans with an additional 500 million in public debt, which means 250 each. What he doesn't say is that the dam will be in place 500 years from now and this makes the debt 50 cents each a year Nova Scotia. Rob MacMillan of Winnipeg won the individual title to lead tlie Manitoba team to an Organized Sept. 8, 1987, the society's registered office is 455 12th St. N.W., Calgary, phone 271-1408. This is the first time this information has ever been printed for the benefit of army intelligence should it be necessary to bring in a U.N. peace-keeping force in future. From the 500 members, the Friends of the Oldman River Society were able to extract 14,972.75 in memberships and donations - and 14,419.91 was blown in on legal fees. No assets were listed. I am sure if this wimpish aggregation was ever faced by a platoon of Japanese or Turkish peace-keeping soldiers from the U.N. they'd run for the hills. The Alberta Wheat Pool has come up with the most level-headed suggestion to . come out of the welter ol conflicting ideologies about this fait accompli which the Oldman dam has become. Backed by 65,000 food-producing Albertans who rely on water management, the editor of the Wheat Pool Budget says: Why not defend the pool's support of the dam and celebrate all it the debt bo cents eacn a yaai. - You can't even buy an ice eventual victory in the cream cone for 50 cents any team competition. Dave Curtis of Westlock was the top Alberta golfer, finishing fifth in the individual competition. Chrest's top scores helped the Alberta team finish first in the standings, but one more. So what is Blake trying to tell us? He did make reference to the dam being a barrier to bull trout. But its waters will be filled up with rainbow trout and pike, which are delicious eating. This has been discovered by anglers who have become acquainted who have become acquainted M with the giant Crawling Valley P yer WBS disqualified reservoir at Bassano since it for incorrect score card, was commissioned half a which dropped the decade ago.

Transportation is calling for tenders for final paving of 16.4 kms of Highway 22 from the junction of Highway 27 west of Sundre and the junction of Secondary 587. The second project is for base and final paving of a 4.6 km road in the MD of Clearwater, from south of the Shell Caroline Gas Plant to the junction of Highway 22. In the release. Olds Didsbury MLA Roy Brassard said the job is scheduled to begin this fall, for completion in the spring. Improving these sections will assist in the delivery of construction components to the new Shell Gas Plant at Caroline. These roads also carry considerable logging traffic to and from the Sundre mill, he said in the release. The project will bring both of these sections to their full design strengths and make J them smoother and safer, Adair noted. Mount View Lodge news Hi all Well, we're getting some summer weather and it seems we are trying to make the most of it. We have had several outings which were really enjoyable. Quite a number of us visited Grace de Jong on her birthday and enjoyed birthday cake outdoors in her garden. Then a little later Mayor and Mrs. Armstrong invited us to their home for a Garden Party. It was a super afternoon looking over their beautiful garden and then we were treated to a really delicious lunch You can see we're really being spoiled by all this attention but we do thank all who helped with transportation and all the other work involved. Last week was Fair Week and we were visited by ventriloquist Don Bryan and his pal Noseworthy. It was real fun afternoon. Of course we watched the excellent parade. Even if it was cpld it didn't rain. We had guests from the Carstairs and Sundre Lodges to view the parade and then they joined us for dinner. We were able to enjoy the fireworks from the fairgrounds from the front of our Lodge or from our windows. They were beautiful We appreciate so many people sharing the flowers and vegetables from their gardens with us. In hospital we have Mrs. Shanks, Mrs. Sutherland and Mr. Dawson. Get well real soon.
