Wednesday, April 14, 1982 spotlight on volunteers When considering a likely candidate within the local Boy Scouts of Canada movement to profile as a volunteer, a troop leader with a long time commitment was initially sought. How- ever, after conferring with organizers for the First Olds Boy Scouts Troop, it was found that there exists an- other type of volunteer associated with the movement. Malcolm Kopas is one such individual. He isn t a scout leader and has never been a scout himself. He is, how- ever, deeply involved with the local troop as a member of the ways and means. committee, and the Scout Hall s tireless handiman. The ways and means committee, as the name suggests, develops money-raising cam- paigns. Malcolm, along with committee co- members Floyd Wag- ner and Rufus Schellen- berg, are responsible for organizing the scouts bottle drives, - telephone book distribu- tion campaign and (a recent dnnovation) Ap- ple Day. We made a couple of hun- dred dollars (on Apple Day), the vol- unteer says. We only had a week to set it up, he chuckles, add- ing that instead of apple baskets, ice cream pails had to suf- fice. The boy scouts (bea- vers, cubs, scouts and venturers) on May 1 will be conducting their next bottle drive, wherein the entire town is canvassed and resi- dents a- ed to donate their returnable glass- ware. Upon imparting this information, Mal- colm realizes May 1 is fast approaching: Gotta get busy. Malcolm has worked and lived on farms all over Alberta, and in his 46 years has moved a total of 13 times, often managing farms for non-resident owners, city dudes, he quips. Presently, he s at Olds College working in the institute s cattle oper- ation. He s been at the college for the past six years, and for several years more in the Olds area, running a farm for one of those city dudes. As with most farmers, Malcolm is a. self- taught handiman. These talents are what makes him most valu- able to the scouts. He s the scouts one-man building committee. He tried to organize work parties among scouts parents, he says, but it proved a difficult task, *so I went down (to the Scout Fall) and did most of it (renovations) myself, he says in explaining why it s a one-man committee, offering a chuckle which punctuates much of what he says. He s quick to praise the Olds Kiwanis Club, though, members of which form work parties to assist him in his Scout Hall projects. The Kiwanis also assume respon- sibility for maintaining the Scout Hall in terms of financial commit- ment. They pay all the bills, which really Mount View Lodge news Mrs. Doyle celebrated her 96th birthday with her grandson John and Kathy Doyle on Sun- day. Mrs. Rourke had Easter dinner with friends in the country. Mrs. Kjorsvick spent Easter Sunday with Mrs. Strorch of Morrin. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Blain were dinner guests of Mrs. Gwen Olsen and family on Sunday. Mrs. Gertie Johnson's guests were Mr. and makes it nice, ' Mal- colm says. Malcolm claims three years service with the scouts: Time flies when you're having fun. Others though dispute his estimate, claiming he s been with the organization a lot longer. Regardless, Malcolm s never been a troop leader, preferring to use his carpentry skills, organize drives and chauffeur young- sters to camp. I ve been tempted to be- come a leader, he says, but doesn t feel quali- fied because: he s never been a scout-himself. T ve always been interested in scouts, he says, but frequent moves with his wife of 22 years, Audrey, pre- cluded his becoming involved until moving to Olds. He became involved, as near as he can recollect, in the traditional fashion. Don t really know how I got started. I went to one meeting, and got stuck with it, he jokes. Malcolm and Audrey are parents to three boys and three girls. Two of his lads, 11- year-old Jeff and 12- year-old Brad are scouts. His impression of scouting s affect on the young ones: It s a damn good deal for the kids.

After 115 years, Canada has finally severed the umbical cord with mother Britain and adopted a made-in-Canada constitution. We'll probably spend another 115 years getting all the legal jargon sorted out. Saturday, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll of Great Britain; Canada and the Commonwealth will: officially proclaim the Canada Act. For the first time in our history that act spells out a Charter of flag waving time Rights and Freedoms. The fundamental freedoms of the individual are clearly enunciated. While enumerated existing aboriginal not specifically and treaty rights of Canada s native people are recognized. .Additionally provision is made for Provisions for equalization of disparity in Canada. amending Canada s regional constitution and for the holding of a constitutional conference are part of the legislation which Queen Elizabeth will proclaim. On April 17, 1982, Canada comes of age. c Active Pallbearers were Tarry Tierney, Neil Tierney, Ron Weidman, Brian Weid- man, Ben Helwig, and Gordon Bremner. Interment was held at the Olds Cemetery.

Gym Club competes at Sylvan Lake On Saturday, March 20th, twenty-eight young girls from the Olds Gymnastics. Club bused to Sylvan Lake s R.J. Cody School to join the Sylvan Lake and Condor gym clubs for a day of informal com- petition in gymnastics. The judging . and scoring were based ona system originated by. the Danes and adapted by the 4-H Club a few years ago, whereby each child automatical- ly wins a ribbon in each category and also a participation color rib- bon. Overall, it turned out to be a rewarding day for everyone in- volved. We were indeed im- pressed with the ease and congeniality with which these 3 groups seemed to fit and work together. This was also probably partly due to the fantastic job the Sylvan Lake gym club directors did in organiz- ing the groups and events for the day. Congratulations are due to all our gymnasts and ribbon winners for their fine performance, and special thanks to our coaches, Pearl Dixon, Vivien Farr and Helen Fisher for the excellent way they pre- pared these young people to participate in this competition. D. A. notes Lorne Turner, District Agriculturist Box 250, Olds Pre Conditioned Calf Meeting at Harmattan and Cochrane Pre-conditioned calf meetings will be held at the Cochrane Provincial Building on April 14 and at the Harmattan Community Centre on April 20. Both meetings will be at 7:00 p.m. These meetings are being held to inform producers about the preconditioning pro- gram and to determine whether there is en- ough interest to hold a sale or sales in the Olds-Didsbury area. Pre-conditioned calf sales are starting to gain popularity in Al- berta with five sales held last year. Under the Alberta Certified Feeder Cattle Program there are two options the producer can enroll under. One is a pre- conditioning option and the other is a pre-im- munization option. All cattle sold under this program must be iden- tified and accompanied by a certificate comple- ted by a veterinarian. For the pre-condition- ed option the following are some of the major points: 1. The cattle must be at least four months of age before vaccinating. 2. Must. be castrated and. dehorned at least three weeks before the sale. 3. Blackleg vaccina- tion at least three weeks before the sale. 4. IBR and PI3 vac- cination given by a licensed veterinarian at least 3 weeks before the sale. 5.. Warble treatment at least two weeks prior to the sale. 6. Weaned a mini- mum of thirty days before the sale date. 7. Eartagged with green tags. The pre-immunization option has all of the requirements for the pre-conditioned pro- gram EXCEPT they are not weaned and are identified by white ear tags. At times it is controversial with both the cow-calf producers and the feedlot opera- tors wondering who gets the benefits from the program. Actually this is a pro- gram where there are benefits for both the calf producers and the feedlot operators. Some benefits are easily measured in terms of dollars and others that are harder to assess an economic value to. For the feedlot opera- tor it is an opportunity to buy in calves that have already been weaned and on feed. Also, they have been dehorned, castrated, treated for warbles and vaccinated for IBR and PI3. This will help to reduce the stress of the animals when they go into the feedlot, by reducing the amount of shrink on the calves and reducing the a- mount of time it takes to get the calves on feed. Also, there is less time required pro- cessing these calves when they go into the lot. This almost makes it look like the benefits are stacked in favor of the feedlot operator, but there are additional benefits: for the cow- calf operator. The main one is the extra weight these calves can gain on a proper ration after weaning. A forty pound weight gain can realized. Other benefits are increased pasture in the fall because the calves will not be using any. Also, the cow s nutrient requirements go down after the cal- ves are weaned. This combination of less feed needed and more pasture can extend your grazing season - and also see the cows go into winter in better condition. In fact, in the Ponoka area, some producers have increa- sed the size of their cow herd because of the extra pasture when the calves are weaned ear- lier. Less shrink is also in favor of the producer. Fresh calves right off the cow can lose a lot of weight during the time they are penned up waiting to sell. At the Cochrane meeting, vet- erinarian Dr. Terry Church, who is with the Animal Health Division of Alberta Agriculture will speak. At Harmat- tan, the speaker will be Dwight Karren, Re- gional Livestock super- visor from Red Deer. Both Dr. Church and Dwight have been in- volved with this pro- Olds Co-opera- tive Annual Meeting Members from Olds and Carstairs met on April 6, 1982 at the Olds Legion Hall where the Legion Auxiliary catered to an excellent meal. During the meeting the members reviewed the financial statement for January 31, 1982, and Board of Director and Co-op activities throughout the year. Co-op membership also climbed in. 1981. New members number- ing 573 brought the total membership to 8,683. The annual meeting approved a 2 per cent allocation to the mem- bers for 1981, with a cash payout. Two Board members receiv- ed recognition for their years of service, Alfred Hammer was presented with a 15 year pin and Harry Platt was presen- ted with a 12 year pin. With Harry Platt re- tiring from the Board this year the Directors presented him with a gift of appreciation for his time and effort. There were 5 candi- dates for nomination, after the election Keith Viney, Clair Fischer, and Albert Flessatti were elected for a 3-year term. grant for collection site The County of Moun- tain View has been granted 10,000 to de- velop a pesticide con- tainer collection site, MLA Connie Osterman (PC-Three Hills) re- ported Tuesday. gram since it started in Ponoka. If you are interested in this type of a pro- gram and would like to either sell or buy these pre-conditioned calves, these meetings could help to answer a lot of questions. 4 tent nese
