The Gazette Olds remembered. Remembrance Day services attracted several hundred people to the Olds Junior Senior High School's gymnasium last Friday morning. Pa Wars | and II and the Korean conflict. Wilf Jop ticipants paid solemn tribute to the district's sons who made the supreme sacrifice in World p was the morning's master of ceremonies, Capt. Vern Ortwein was parade mar- shall, sergeant at arms was J. Richey. Don McCleary directed the Olds Community Band and bugler Fern Olson played Reveille and the Last Post. The Evergreen Choir was on hand to sing hymns. Reverends William Hudson and Don Matchullis and Pastor Richie White led prayers, offered the invocation and addressed the crowd. The traditional two minutes of silence in honor of the fallen was observed on the stroke of the ‘Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month.” Above, RCMP officers from the Olds detachment are first of many to lay wreaths at the foot of the cenitaph in honor of the country’s fighting men. Grizzlys coach resigns as team remains in slump Olds -Grizzlys coach Dan MacDonald tendered his resigna- tion last week in the midst of a seemingly ir- reversible losing streak which some observers say was predicated by player dissent. Bruce West, president of the Olds Sportsmen Recreation Association (which manages the junior hockey club), letter to the Editor Dear Neil: It’s time to take pen in hand once again and offer some neighborly advice to your city fathers. For instance, don’t they understand that you've got to move the ice and snow from the south side of a street to the north side before Johnny Chinook can weave his magic to remove what mother nature has seen fit to deposit. And then, believe it or. not, I found one patch of ice near a railway cressing that will take more than a shaker full of salt to cure. » Yours, The Olds Salt, Bearberry Bill confirmed this week that MacDonald’s resignation was ac- cepted Friday, follow- ing Thursday evening’s loss to the Sherwood Park Crusaders. There were a number of reasons for Mac- Donald’s departure, West said, including a* souring win-loss record and personality con- flicts on the team. The fact that Olds entered a. slump after .a..strong~ beginning this season played a role in Mac- Donald’s decision té ‘ quit, he said. “Dan has worked very hard to build the team ... He just didn’t want to be in a position where the team could be jeopardized because of conflicts,’’ West said. MacDonald was unavailable for com- ment this week, but other Gazette sources close to the’ Grizzly camp. pointed to numerous incidents -other than the losing streak - which could have precipitated pro- blems which led to his resignation. West said the team should be able to cope without a head coach for awhile. ‘“‘We’ve got a talented bunch of boys here,’’ he said of the squad. ‘‘They’ll pull together to get over the rough spots.” The president also predicted MacDonald will) be replaced without great difficul- ty. ‘There are hockey people out there who are very interested in this job,” hesaid.. In the interim, Mac- Donald’s assistant Eldon Hammer will become acting coach, The Grizzlys_ pro- blems. began last their grip on an un- precedented season ‘ly one win month when they lost Calg record and a decisive divisional first-place lead.

As of ‘Tues- day, they were in se- cond spot and tied for third with the Spurs. As of yesterday, the Grizzlys’ -win* - loss record stood at 9 - 8. Kershaw Mrs. Marjorie Eliza Catherine Kershaw (White) of Didsbury passed away at the Didsbury Hospital on Sunday, November 13, 1983 after a lengthy illness at the age of 77 years. She was born in the Melvin District just west of Didsbury, on her father’s homestead, in 1906: She spent her early school years at Melvin and completed her schooling in Didsbury. She then -went on to train as a registered nurse at the Calgary General Hospital. She graduated in 1930 and went on to nurse in. In- ‘ operation obituaries nisfail and Didsbury.

Fish and Wildlife officers acknowledge public help Fish and Wildlife of- ficers Gerry Filipchuk and Ken Speckeen have singled out one area where hunters can show marked improvement. That is the problem associated with alcohol and hunting and the two officers told the Gazette Monday that Wildlife officers all over the province are saying “liquor and guns do not mix.” It is regrettable, they say, but “most hunting accidents are a result of mixing guns and liquor.” They poin- ted out too, that many hunters are not aware that the use of alcohol is a specific violation of hunting regulations and one in which they “proceed to try and get a conviction.” Both are new to this area which means that they patrol a territory which stretches from Torrington to the Banff Park and from Innisfail south to Carstairs. Most patrols are routine with random - hunting checks. Oc- casionally, the officers set up a comprehensive check searching for hunting infractions. But, they say, it is dif- ficult to compare those violations with the numbers occurring other year. To illustrate their case load, they pointed to next Thur- sdays provincial court docket. Of 14 pending charges, six necessitate automatic court ap- pearances. The infrac- tions cover everything from drinking, hunting in a closed season, hun- ting on land without permission to the illegal use of tags. Confiscated game is kept in a refrigerated warehouse. From there it is doled out to needy citizens, pensioners, etc. The recent mild win- ters and warm sum- mers have contributed to an increase in the number of game animals. That fact is confirmed by their patrol and by hunters in the field. However, the two officers would also like to believe that the increase has been helped by enlighted game management regulations. Finally they invite all hunters to join in the process by observing eight basic rules. 1. Obtain land owners permission to hunt on private land. 2. Be Courteous. 3. Hunt Safely. 4. Obey’ all: laws and regulations concerning hunting. 5. Be Ethical. . 6. Report all violations to the nearest Fish and Wildlife Officer. 7. Liquor and guns do not mix. 8. Use the Game you Shoot. ! The two _ officers acknowledge the help they receive in tracking down game offences. “We can use all that type of help we can get,” they echoed Mon- day. Funeral services to be held Wednesday, November 16, 1983 at 1:00 p.m. from the Knox United Church, Didsbury with Reverend W.Di! Waite viewpoint Wednesday, November 16, 1983 Let’s start at the Top While British Columbia’s Premier Bennett is getting plen- ty of support from the public and such prestigious groups as the Fraser Institute for the stiff stance that brought on B.C.’s labour “war,” we’d like to offer a bit of a different perspective to the whole affair. When a government, an in- dustry or business takes a stand like that taken in British Columbia, the obvious victim is the little guy cleaning the street, sweeping the floor, or burning the brush. When they are laid off, the ob- vious result is a_ further decrease in productivity. What we should be looking at are the number of drones and how often the colony has been split. It would be refreshing for in- stance if Mr. Bennett had shown the way by reducing the size of his cabinet. That would have meant fewer deputy ministers and fewer executive assistants and executive secretaries who all form the non productive up- per level of government service. But it still leaves enough workers to maintain the services which the public recognizes as a “right” rather than a “‘need.” It little matters who gives the orders at the top end but results can be disastrous if there are no soldiers to carry out the orders. What’s Fair Kids???? - | remember reading an article about “Please Coach, tomorrow my son, a timid boy, will com- mence his first day of hockey, please be gentle! As a mother, | totally agree, who wants some aggressive boob domineering our children and making their winter sports miserable. But, on the other hand, what a crock! | would like to revise this. Please kids, my husband, your coach, is a decent human being, please be. respectful af him. .His. time spent with’the team should be constructive and helpful to all players, not wasted on im- mature unruly trouble makers.

You should, if you’re that way stay home and give your team a break. Team sports only work. with co-operation and willingness of all team mem- bers. Don’t rib the rest of the team with your tantrums. Better yet, use your newly at- tained words on your dad, if you think they’re proper, and if he likes what be, hears, fine. There: is probably no hope for you, at that rate, if he thinks the coach is an ignorant bum (of course some are, but very few) he could assume the position, that is if he can be fair and he likes high phone bills and testing just how good his car is on gas mileage.
