These are needed for appoint- ments to various. boards and commissions which are advisory in nature to Council. These include Family and Community Life, Recreation Board, Library Board,. Econ- omic Development Committee, Municipal Planning Commission, Police Commission, etc. The appointments will be made at the reorgan- izational meeting of Olds Council late in October. Most of the Boards are advisory in nature but they all provide a strong liasion between . the community and the Council. Anyone wishing an appointment should contact the Town Office. The Gazette to accom- modate Newman Ford Olds Council instruct- ed administration to-do everything possible to accommodate Newman Ford s sales agency in Olds. The Innisfail bas- ed Ford dealership moved into Olds to . accommodate Ford owners after the closing of County. Ford. The firm leased the former Esso Service Station property owned by Rodger Riley Holdings Ltd Ina letter to Council dated July 22, John E. Murphy on behalf of - Rodger Riley Holdings requested that zoning take place to accom- modate Newman Ford. The request was pre- sented to the Municipal Planning Commission which recommended that a change. from Commercial zoning to Highway Commercial not take place. In its report to Council MPC says the property is not large enough to properly accommodate a sales outlet for auto- mobiles and trucks without possibly ob- structing the sight lines at the intersection of 50 Avenue and Highway at. ; Answering a query from Councillor Glen Elmer, town manager Ron Hilton pointed out that many of the veh- icles now on these lots are actually parked .on town property. Murphy appearing for Roger Riley Holdings told Council that the firm wants to retain the property as a service station-site. He asked Council for time so that the property could be sold or properly used. While Council adopt- ed Councillor Elmer s motion to accept the recommendation of M.P.C., the motion -im- plied his earlier state- ment that Olds wants to do everything poss- ible to accommodate any business. Town manager Ron administration would do everything possible to facilitate Councillor Elmer s request. changes date The next. regular meeting of Olds Council will be held October 12. That decision was made early in Monday night s council session when Councillor Ken Gillrie pointed out that the fir- st regular October would fall on Thanksgiving Day.

Al Taylor reported that a girl came forward Tuesday to tell how she was chased by a man bearing a remarkable resemblance to an artist s sketch released to the press last week. She told the police that she was chased into her car by a man fitting the description pub- lished in last week s Gazette. She succeeded in locking her car, starting it and making good her escape. The unidentified girl, who is from out of province, was not aware that a rape had subsequently occurred and therefore did not immediately report the incident to police, Taylor said. The girl had been through smiliar experiences before, he ex- plained, and failed to report the incident until seeing an artist s sketch in a newspaper report. Police are satisfied that the same man is responsible for both inci- dents. There were details given by Police believe a man who alleg- edly raped an Olds College Co-ed made a similar attempt on another girl before the incident for which Olds RCMP are seeking him oc- curred, features and a the second girl which corroborate the rape victim s story and which weren t made public, Taylor said. Olds RCMP this week released a second composite drawing of the suspected rapist, based on the description given by the girl who narrowly escaped being assaulted. The alleged rape took place near the Greyhound bus depot on 50 Ave. at about 1:30 a.m. on Satur- day, Sept. 18, as the victim was returning to the residence at Olds College. She described the suspect- ed rapist as being between 18 and 21 years of age with slim, fine dark, wavy neck-length hair and clean shaven. He s described as being between 5 ft. 8 inches and 5 i tall. At the time of the ents, he was wearing a colored shirt. The most pst composite drawing depicts the sus- pect wearing a baseball cap. prominent. nose; 4 Wednesday, September 29, 1982 viewpoint another round The natural resource industry and farmers in Alberta may be squaring off in another round of disputes over. surface rights. This because a Court of Queen s Bench decision has awarded the landowner only 25 percent of market value for. farmland taken for a pipeline easement. The case involves Dome Petroleum and Liivam Farms Ltd. of Eckville. Dome of- fered a market value of 450 per acre. The landowner wanted 1,460. The Surface Rights Board awarded 650 per acre when the dispute went to arbitra- tion. : Dome appealed to the Courts. which decided on an award of 25 percent of matket value or about 365: per acre. Seventy-five percent of market value was, the . decision implies, still available as residual value to the landowner. As Unifarm president Howard Falkenberg - points out, the concept of market value of surface land has been established for - resource industries without regard to the residual. value to the farmers. This decision could undo much of what has become to be establishd practice. It is interesting to note the Select Com- mittee. on Surface Rights recommended that these residual rights be ignored when establishing easements for the resource in- dustry. Individual farmers and farm organizations will likely. stiffen their opposition to pipelines, power lines and oil wells in light of this decision. The government would be well advised to act on the recommendations of .that Select: Committee if it wishes to avoid another round of bitter disputes. showing the way The business community in Didsbury has recognized the worth of an active Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce and Mon- day, those same businessmen took steps to breathe new life into their organization. The business community in Olds should be: heartened by this example and we should: take steps: to revive such an : organization in Olds. : We know that there s plenty going on to keep us all active but we also recognize that there are times when a united business voice is needed. Forget about political affiliation or work - with service clubs or fraternal organiza- tions. Let s think about the. greater: com- munity and how our joint efforts will bring more benefits than each of us going our separate-ways. winning friends it was pleasant to sit in the Council Chambers Monday night and listen to councillors express a genuine con- cern for business. : Two cases were in front of council which if council wished could have curtailed or shut down a business operation. In both cases councillors were sym- pathetic tothe problems. For too long, business operations have been looked upon as sources of easy tax dollars. Councillors apparently recognize that in today s economic climate that such is no longer the case. The move to rezone the west side of Hwy. 2A and to correct the land use problem at the corner of 54 Street is long overdue. And while there was lit- tle council could do with the problem at the corner of the Sundre Highway and. 50 Avenue, at least council was sympathetic and will do everything - possible to accommodate the business that has set up shop there. When Council shows this kind of. leadership it will quickly win the co- ts operation and loyalty of citizens. . .. on acorns and growth Autumn returns - my favourite season, rich with memories - stirring up the multi-coloured leaves - carpeting those tree-lined hometown streets; filling lungs and heart with the musty odours of drying plant life and racing through ) fields, pockets bulging with hazel nuts and mouth dripp- ing with crispy. windfall apples. Exulting in the kit- chen smells of pungent chili sauce and mustard pickles, of rosehip jam steaming on the stove and the wholesome scent of apples and squash laid away in their bushel baskets in the dark basement. Autumn... a time of storing away and hibernating, of ripening and mellowing, a season of maturing. A time when life slows its inexorable pace and lies dormant. Not a time one usually thinks of growth or the:seeding of new life. : But the little acorn is one of nature s mysteries. It falls to the earth when everything else appears to be dying, somehow gains a foothold and begins the. long, slow process of becoming a mighty oak. . 1am sometimes impatient with my progress in life. Things take so long to:happen, to develop. Dreams and plans are altered by time and circumstance. forget the stunning picture on the box when become bogged down in the middle of a jigsaw puzzle. : We are often surprised and even threatened when suddenly we notice the results of natural growth. .We sigh over the fact that children grow too fast, but young people leave home, even run away and disappear because their parents don t recognize that their babes have matured. Marriages collapse because, as partners grow in different ways and at different sp eds, tragically they often grown apart . instead of together. They fail to keep theircommon : goals alive as they grow. We complain that times have changed . More of and more say to my children, When was little, things were different ... And so they were. The on- at ly constant in life is change but change can be positive too. Many women who are accused of be- ing liberated feminists because they are taking on new challenges, new careers, are simply growing with the times. Social and economic changes occur gradually and individuals must change and grow 06 s Growth happens not just in spite of us, but often - because of us. As with the little acorn, we may - think we are planting out of season or seeding infer- tile ground. Our good intentions. and kindly words may be met with. indifference or rejection. We despair in our work when we see no results, We give up impatiently and because our faith is small. To everything there is a season and the seasons are not ours, they are God's. Our little acts, our smallest hopes can put down roots and lay founda- tions whose. potential force we may never realize. . - Within every little acorn is the heart of a great oak. In every seed lies tomorrow's flower. Just imagine if the seed never fell to the earth, if the dream were never dreamed or the first step never taken by L.
