Mayor loses bid to extend feud

A sudden motion to adjourn last night’s council meeting left Mayor Plain looking bewildered as his plans to extend his feud with the Gazette were thwarted.

The unexpected denouement to the meeting came during discussion of a letter which Mayor Plain had proposed to send

Municipal Affairs Minister Dick Johnson. The letter suggested more efficient of handling

the $1,721,452.50 grant. She added that she could approve a request that such

monies be received as soon as possible from the pro- vincial government. How- ever, Mrs. Smith was quietly emphatic in affirm-

Redwater joins

Sturgeon “camp”

The MD of Sturgeon seems to be taking an increase in size within its stride after a provincial government Order-in-Coun- cil Tuesday transferred Divi- sion One of the existing County of Thorhild into MD boundaries.

Reeve of the MD Bill Flynn told the Gazette Tuesday the annexation will bring another $13 million assessment to the MD.

Before the Lieutenant Go-

vernor made the annexation official with a stroke of the pen Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Flynn commented, “‘If this should happen we would welcome it and we would treat them [new Thorhild residents] as fair as any others in the municipality.”’

The annexation took effect Tuesday night under Section 14(1) of the Municipal Government Act.

There will be a special meeting of Sturgeon council

ay

Thursday to have a look at the implications of the trans- fer, but Reeve Flynn said Tuesday he doesn’t know if it will be open to the public. Apart from the increased assessment accruing to the MD, (two thirds of Thorhild’s assessment was taken away in the transfer) there are also benefits like Imperial Oil's gas processing plant and fertilizer plants lying within the region.

Arena date not firm

The Gazette received five telephone calls Tuesday from residents concerned that the new arena would not open as planned, and two callers suggested it might not be open until February.

A representative of Poole Construction said that as far as he knows no firm opening date has been established. **We will be late, but I don’t know how late."’ He referred us to architect, Mr. Ervine

“As far as we are concerned the contract date, which I believe is about November 20, still stands,’* said Mr. Nitkin. He added that a great deal oftime on the project was lost due to wet weather ~ ‘‘at least a month."’ Phillips Barratt has had no indication as far as Mr. Nitkin is aware that this time will not be made up by

November 20. ‘‘Realistically though,’’ said Mr. Nitkin there will not be enough time remaining to make the contract date of November 20. He therefore felt that the arena wouldn't be open until the first or second week in December. ‘‘But officially the contract date still stands as far as Phillips Barratt is concerned,”’ concluded the architect.

The mayor then remarked that thanks had been extended to the appropriate agencies and departments for the grant, and called upon Alderman Gary Wet- sch to comment. Mr. Wetsch opposed Mrs. Sm- ith’s views, claiming that the money belonged to the municipality once the grant had been made. He said

the delay in receiving the cheque and what he felt was the subsequent loss of potential interest accum- ulation ‘‘boggled his mind); At this point, an angry Alderman Throndson made an explosive interjection. **l can’t go along with this’’, said Throndson. **We’re into overtime now, Please Turn to Page 2

Former Calgary Alderman willrun against Plain

A former Calgary alder- man, who has been living in St. Albert for a year, has declared his intent to run against St. Albert Mayor Dick Plain in the October election.

Forty-nine year old Tom Priddle, 45 Livingstone C- rescent, a past president of the Alberta Urban Munici- palities Association says he has been asked by a lot of people to run for mayor.

He says: ‘‘I] have been asked by a lot of people, who figure they need a common sense approach, and they do not seem to be getting that now.”’

Mr. Priddle, who.is also.a past president of the Cana- dian Federation of Municipal Governments, was an alder- man with the city of Calgary

TOM PRIDDLE

for the years 1969-76.

Mr, 'Priddle said, ‘‘We've been talking about it (run- ning for mayor) for six months, and decided to go.”

He adds, ‘tHe, [Mayor Plain] ran on citizen par-

ticipation and since then has apparently ran a dictator- ship.”

He accused Mayor Plain of turning the mayor’s $25,000 a year job into a full time position, for which he felt there was no need, as the job could be done on a part time basis.

Mr. Priddle also pointed out that many good busin- essmen who would be able to run in the mayoralty race are denied the chance; ‘‘they would run if it was not full time,”

Mr, Priddle is convinced that current ‘‘antagonisms”’ are doing St. Albert nothing but harm,.and he further says there is a danger that squabbles between St. Al- bert and the provincial Please Turn to Page 9

Spring building is likely

for Gervais Road

Road construction delays on Gervais Road are caused not so much by the recent rains but by ‘‘functional planning”’ city of St. Albert administrator Bob Byron told the Gazette this week.

And the fact that celd weather will soon be here means that work on the road would ‘‘be better advised to start in the spring than now,’’ Mr. Byron added.

Slated for expansion from two lanes to four, Gervais Road had been chosen along with Hebert Road and Sir Winston Churchill Avenue for construction this year.

Mr. Byron says the delay on Gervais Road stems from two problems.

Alberta Transportation is working on the extension of 170 Street into the city. But bad weather has caused

delays and the city is waiting until this work is done before designing the Gervais link- up. up. The other problem is finding a new location for the St. Albert Transit terminal on the corner of Gervais and Highway 2.

Negotiations are still un- derway for a possible site. Please Turn to Page 2

Juvenile “school terrors” caught afterspree

Two St. Albert juvenile boys have been arrested by the local RCMP after a recent spree of petty vandalism.

The two juveniles were arrested 5:30 p.m, Septem- ber 2.

A spokesman for the RCMP said Tuesday after- noon the two boys had been arrested for ‘‘numerous break-ins and wilful dama- ge.”’

The spokesman added the two boys face a total of 74 charges.

The boys have been charged with break-ins at Reggie’s Hardware, the St. Albert School of Dancing, the St. Albert Safeway Store and

Hutchings Shoes.

As well as these charges, they are also faced with others for break-ins at the Paul Kane High School, Leo Nickerson, Lorne Akins, Vi- tal Grandin ‘‘and several other schools in St. Albert.’’

The RCMP spokesman said it was pretty hard to estimate the amount of

damage (precisely) in dollar terms, but it probably amounted to the thousands of dollars.

The spokesman described the vandalism as not serious, but petty, characterized by such acts as filling desk drawers and ink pots with liquid cement.

and we're still going on with this continual bicker- ing between the Gazette, the MLA and the council. I’m sick of this garbage’’.

Mr. Throndson’s heated remarks drew an abrupt call to order from Mayor Plain.

At this juncture, Alder- man Frank Lukay moved approval of the Mayor’s letter. Alderman Breadner agreed with Mr. Throndson that there were political overtones to the Mayor’s phrasing. Mayor Plain then asked where the overtones were. Mr. Breadner did not elaborate, but stated he found ‘‘defin- ite currents’’ throughout the letter. Mayor Plain then proposed amendments and deletions to the letter and a vote wastaken on the amended letter. The amended ietter was ap- proved, with Alderman Throndson in opposition.

Suddenly, Mr. Throndson moved adjournment, de- spite the fact that the final item on the council agenda had yet to be discussed -- an item listed as ‘‘policy considerations of St. Albert Gazette allegations”.

The motion to adjourn was defeated, with Aldermen Lukay and Wetsch and the Mayor opposing. However, in an ironic twist to the story, Mayor Plain made a motion to extend the meeting to include discus- sion of the item. His motion went down to

defeat in the same manner, opposed by Aldermen Sm- ith, Throndson and Bread- ner,

In the ensuing confusion, a frustrated Mayor Plain curtly announced to the departing aldermen that a special meeting would be called within the next 24 hours to complete last night’s agenda.

Redwater

Cont’d From Page 1

Sturgeon School Division #24 will also take the Redwater School under Sec- tions 22 and 23 of the School Act.

The school caters for education from grade one to 12. Before the transfer it had 595 students but following it the roll has dropped to 52S.

About 1,500 students in the county of Thorhild are affected by the transfer and some of these could be accommodated in schools at Newbrook or Radway.

Superintendent of the St- urgeon School Division Frank Robinson says some parents want their children at Red- water, but this is not a matter for us to resolve.’

He says his board has had two meetings on the transi- tion which have gone quite well, ‘‘smooth transition and no fighting.’’

The Sturgeon School Board could have been increased to eight following the change, but because of the change it should drop back to seven members foll- owing a ministerial order.

WITH ST. ALBERT being the oldest town in the province -- there’s always something coming to light on the community's past. This picture of the good old days was shot May 24, 1913 on Queen Victoria’s birthday celebration, with a Canadian Northern Railways locomotive just behind St. Albert’s present day grain elevators. It’s hard to place the identity of the crew and their buddies standing about the loco, But there’s an interesting bit of information attached to the photo. It says Mrs. Charles Hepburn of Hepburn Confectionary of Edmonton donated all the ice cream and sarsaparilla for the picnic. ‘‘At that time there were more native children in the community than there are now, and the treats that Mr. Hepburn donated were received with a little suspicion ... for these children who had never eaten ice cream before, and for liquid to fizz and make bubbles was surely a strange experience. However it did not take the kiddies long to make friends with the foodstuffs.”

That means there would be six trustees for Sturgeon with another representing the transferred lands. Following the transfer, Thorhild will now be the second lowest in assessment of counties, but it will remain a viable county and compares well with surrounding coun- ties such as Smoky Lake, St. Paul, Barrhead, and Lac Ste.

2- ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1977.

Anne which are in the $9-15 million assessment range.

Now that the transfer is official, the county of Thor- hild is in a unique position. It will be the only county in the province with no major town contained in its boundaries.

Redwater (population 1500) is located in the trans- ferred division one, the sec- tion now in the MD of Sturgeon.

With the loss of this town the next major centre is the county seat of the Village of Thorhild population 600.

BLEAK PICTURE

County of Thorhild Reeve Steve Schwetz painted a bleak picture for the newly restructured municipality. He says he doesn’t know what's going to happen with only $8-9 million in ass- essment left to the county.

But there is a possibility that the counties of Thorhild and Smoky Lake may decide on a mutually acceptable arrangement to combine the two counties in the near

_ future.

A news release from the provincial government this week gives the history of

events which led up to the *

transfer.

In 1972, the province received a petition and brief from the Redwater area residents, requesting seces- sion from the County of Thorhild and ‘amalgamation with the MD of Sturgeon. The petitioners argued that roads in the Redwater area had always required greater public works expenditures than other divisions due to the high volume of industrial traffic in division one, and that the County of Thorhild had not recognized this need.

The Municipal and School Boundaries Advisory Com- mittee conducted a public hearing into the matter February 1974 and recomm- ended that the Counties of Thorhild and Smoky Lake be amalgamated, and that divi- sion one of Thorhild County be transferred to the MD of Sturgeon.

A second hearing was held in December 1975, with the two counts *he MD of

Sturgeon and the Sturgeon School District #24.

The committee in its report to the Minister of Municipal Affairs July 76 identified a ‘‘deep-rooted and chronic hostility between the Red- water area and the rest of the County of Thorhild.’”’

The report indicated that the source was difficult to pinpoint, but appeared to derive ‘‘from perceived poli- tical, industrial and social imbalances between the Redwater area and the rest of the county ... Because Red- water is the industrial and population -- but not the geographical -- centre of the county, there have been serious disagreements whe- never hospitals, nursing ho- me, school and recreational sites have been proposed for the County with the resultant hostility.’’

CONCERNS OF REDWATER RESIDENTS REMAINED

The essential recommen- dation of the Committee was the amalgamation of the Counties of Thorhild and Smoky Lake.

This, in the comimittee’s view would alleviate the kinds of legitimate concerns which the Redwater people held.

As a result, a plebiscite was held on the issue April 27 this year and the vote was overwhelmingly opposed to amalgamation.

But the concerns of the Redwater residents went un- answered,

The Minister of Municipal Affairs then met with Red- water council and the county councillor for division one then met with the Reeve of Thorhild.

In addition, at the mini- ster’s request, an extensive review of Thorhild county's financial statements was made since 1974,

After this examination, it became clear that the County of Thorhild had been allo- cating’ road/transportation expenditure by divisions, thus, not in accordance with the provisions of section 253 of the Municipal Government Act.

Making the announcement the minister indicated clearly the Cabinet's reference that, should Redwater make an application, the Gas pro- cessing plant in Division One would be transferred to Redwater, while the fertilizer plant would stay in the assessment of the MD of Sturgeon.

Who’s running

Who’s not

Alderwoman Margaret Smith will be deciding sometime this week whether or not she will seek re-elec- tion to city council. Margaret is just back from a two week vacation with her husband Alan in Hawaii, following a very busy summer when she attended. summer school classes mornings and worked afternoons in a _ district education office in Edmon- ton. Mayor Plain feels the declaration time should be very brief and will not be announcing his intentions for a while yet. With Wetsch, Lukay and Fyfe not seeking re-election that leaves only alderman Breadner who has declared himself to date as seeking re-election. The Ga- zette was not successful in reaching Alderman Thrond- son, but it is expected he will run again.

Trustee Murdo MacFar- lane of the Protestant School Board would not give any hint of his intentions prior to nomination day on Septem-

ber 21. That leaves Shirley McCaffery as the only incumbent who has declared that she will seek another term.

Gary Hodgins will seek election as a newcomer to the Protestant Board and will be making a statement when he returns next week from a business trip to Winnipeg.

Steve Sieben told the Gazette he has ‘‘every in- tention to seek nomination again as trustee on the Catholic School Board. He made the decision this week after a full discussion with his family - ‘‘because they are all involved in the de- cision.’’ Ernie Howrish, who has completed two terms as trustee will not run again. ‘‘I made this decision some time ago,’’ said Mr. Howrish ‘tand have so incicated to some of the other per- sonnel.’’ That leaves Seiben and Smith seeking re-elec- tion and three trustees who are not, on the five-person board.

Siemens took over recently from former head of the detachment Staff Sergeant Lyle Lambert.

Staff Sgt. Lambert is now in Lethbridge as a Section NCO.

Sergeant Siemens has 20 years with the RCMP and two years as an officer in St. Albert, in charge of the highway patrol.

Staff Sgt. Siemens has been on staff at the training academny in Regina for three years, and had been trans- ferred to the ‘‘Musical Ride’’ before this was interrupted by marriage plans.

The new detachment head has had a varied career in general detachment and mu- nicipal detail work.

He has been all over Alberta in places like Grande Prairie, Peace River, High River and Red Deer.

Other stints include a one year stop at the training academy in Penhold, and the court detail in the Edmonton court house,

Staff Sgt. Siemens says he values the help the press can give the force and his policies in this matter will not be any different from his prede- cessor.

Jasper Auto Parts is cleaned up

The clearing of wrecked vehicles from around Jasper Auto Parts at the south entrance to St. Albert has proceeded apace, but the company could face a court hearing because it did not follow up on the initial clean-up order.

August 3, city council authorized the complete re- moval of all debris and took steps to initiate court action because the company had not acted after a warning given

by council June 6.

St. Albert's first attempt to get the property cleaned up was in February.

City Manager Bob Byron said that the city did not have to take its own equipment to remove material from out- side the company’s fences.

But the clean-up which has been done at the site on Highway 2 south of St. Albert was performed over the past month.

Under a city bylaw a fine of

$500 can be imposed.

The city had commended the company because a genuine effort had been made to clean up the pro- perty, but the court action has been proceeded with because of the initial legal infraction.

St. Albert is going to keep an eye on the situation, even though the company has finally indicated it will remove the debris.

day evenings during the school year and will be performing several concerts in and around St. Albert. Members come from all walks of life and adults particularly are encouraged to join. Music varies from light classical to pops and Band organizers have in- dicated that smaller groups such as a stage band will also play a major role in this year's band program.

The St. Albert Community Band enjoyed a very succ- essful first year of operation as some 40 members par- ticipated during the year.

St. Albert company

tries again

for radio station

St. Albert Broadcasting Limited has filed a new application for a radio station for St. Albert. This was announced this morning by R. A. Russell, president of the company, formed by a group of St. Albert business people.

The company filed an application in 1975 but the CRTC turned down the application, saying the area already had sufficient ser- vice.

St. Albert Broadcasting feels that the new application will have much better succ- ess. ‘‘St. Albert is now a City,’’ says Mr. Russell,

‘“‘and we have a larger community to serve and a viable business community to support our own radio station.””

They propose to operate 24 hours a day and will locate its studio in St. Albert. It will employ about a dozen people initially and has already hired well-known broadcas- ter, Dick Mather as general manager.

The company expects to appear before the CRTC public hearing in Edmonton in December and could be on air by early summer of 1978.

Their application can be viewed at the St. Albert Public Library.

Airlines to discuss reduced fares for families & businessmen

All the Geneva to discuss a gr >*tly reduced airbus fare on the Atlantic Sectors, There is talk of a $199. return fare, New York to London, New York. Some travel agents are not always up to date on their fare information and a potential traveller should shop by phone to get

the best possible fare. Very often potential air travellers are discouraged from further enquiry by misinformation,

Because travel agents get a commission as payment from the Airlines involved many potential customers are under the impression that this costs them more by going through an agency. This is just not so. The fact is that the price is the same from a travel agent as from an airline.

What is not the same is the service. Travel Agents have to compete on a larger scale and thus a good agent will explore all avenues of fares. Some Travel Agents charge a Service Charge, a cancellation charge or a delivery charge. -- This is just not fair to the client. About the only legitimate charge would be if the agent was to expend money on the client's behalf and gave the client credit, then an interest charge would be in order.

Mayor upset

with Gazette editorial

Mayor Richard Plain advised me by letter that city council will discuss ‘‘a number of statements and allegations’’ contained in the last issue of the Gazette. This might have inflated my ego somewhat, except that I wondered if Council did not have more important matters to engage its attention. I was asked to attend at 9 p.m. but was unable to do so.

The letter went on to say ‘*...... it is felt that if you had availed yourself of the opportunity of meeting with Council when similar invitations had been extended to you in the past, that a large number of factual errors contained in your recent article [the editorial], and misunderstanding of the responsibilities of the mayor and council would have been alleviated.”’

On the matter of ‘‘similar’’ invitations Mayor Plain seems to confuse invitations to his MLA with those to the city’s newspaper publisher, which is unfortunate since nearly all elected representatives have careers. This was the first request for the publisher to answer to council - and may well be the first such request ever issued by any council to a newspaper.

As MLAI asked to meet with St. Albert council last January on boundary and access roads and a west by-pass for St. Albert. Weeks later, in March, the mayor asked me with some sarcasm when I could come to council with my “master plan.’” I wrote back advising him of two meeting dates when I could be present. The first date suggested went by with no reply. Shortly before the second date the mayor advised that I was on the agenda on a date later than either which I had informed him I was keeping open. The legislature was sitting on the night he selected, as I feel he was aware, and that is the reason I could not ‘‘avail myself’ of his invitation. This action I felt was both arrogant and deliberately insulting behaviour by a mayor to an MLA.

As for ‘‘allegations,’’ I say hogwash. An editorial is an expression of opinion with background information and should provoke thought. What is involved in this tempest in a teapot in my opinion is a situation in St. Albert where anyone critical of city policies or actions comes under the ‘Big Stick’.

In any event one kangaroo court session is enough during Mayor Plain’s term of office, and even if I had not been asked in mid-August to attend at Bon Accord Council last night, I would not have responded to this demand, and I doubt that any self-respecting publisher would. As MLA I went through a two and one-half hour session a year and a half ago at council and did not feel anything constructive was accomplished. Some observers in the gallery termed it a ‘kangaroo court.”’

Whether or not council withdraws city advertising the Gazette is one area of local activity that will not be brought under Mayor Plain’s control.

It does give me satisfaction to report to our readers that I am especially pleased with the progress of the first step in the west by-pass of St. Albert, along with the new upgrading and paving of 170 street, 137 avenue and 156 street. These projects have involved considerable time and effort in a government beseiged with road and street requests, and despite a delay getting them started I know these improvements will be much welcomed by St. Albert residents commuting to Edmonton. Even with the wet weather this summer all the projects are on schedule for completion and hard topping by mid November.

An Academic Thinks Small

by JIM SMITH

In 1846, a fellow named Abraham Gesner developed a new fuel. He called it kero- sene oil. Abraham Gesner, in- cidentally, lived and worked in Prince Edward Island.

In 1869, someone named George Desbarats developed the world’s first half-tone method of reproducing pho- tographs. George Desbarats, as it happened, lived and worked in Montreal.

In 1951, a Dr. Harold Johns developed the cobalt bomb method of treating cancer. Dr. Johns lived and worked in Saskatoon.

Gesner, Desbarats, and Johns were all social giants. Yet they represent only a small portion of the many Canadian entrepreneurs who have changed the world, Ty- pically, they were small, in- dependent businessmen.

Most of our great achie- vers have been independent businessmen. They worked without adequate funding or official encouragement.They turned out everything from Pablum to snowmobiles un- der difficult conditions while big business was importing ideas from abroad.

Dr. Rein Peterson, a pro- fessor at Toronto’s York University, is one of the first scholars to delve into the small business commu- nity. Peterson has travelled through Europe and Asia and from one end of Canada to the other during the past year. By now, he knows as much about Canadian busi- ness as any academic in the world.

Peterson’s experiences and insights are now available in a newly released book titled “Small Business: Building A Balanced Economy”. His conclusions are disturbing. Large firms, he explains, do not develop because they are more efficient; instead, “the

growth of corporations is the result of a very basic urge on the part of many busi- nessmen to succeed by ex- panding.””

“Large firms,’ Peterson found, ‘“‘have, as a whole, a higher import propensity (both for capital goods and raw materials), so that small firms tend to generate rela- tively more jobs at home.”

And, finally, Peterson drops his biggest economic bombshell. ‘‘The next gene- ration of whiz kids,’ he writes, ‘‘will be those who make a big business grow ef- ficiently smaller by selling off bits of the corporation. Where it has been fashion- able for a company to boast how many workers it em- ployed and therefore how powerful it was, it will be- come fashionable henceforth to boast how much work it has subcontracted out and how much more profitable it is.”

Time and again, Peterson slams our economy for its emphasis on big business and big government. We are two generations behind the Japa- nese who have created a thri- ving small business-oriented society, he charges. Our hope for the future lies in small business — but our economic policies solidly favour big business. His findings, in short, support the social phi- losophy of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Canada’s leading voice of small business.

Peterson may think small — even his publishing house, Press Porcepic, is an indepen: dent business — but his mar- ket is far from tiny. Even before the first copy rolled off the press, Press Porcepic had orders for almost 70,000 copies, easily a record for a first run in the Canadian book trade.

What Caught Our Eye

WANTS DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL From the Edmonton Journal

The Palestine Liberation Organization remains dedicated to the destruction of Israel. In effect, the PLO remains committed to stalemate and perpetual defeat.

The PLO's SS-member central council has just rejected acceptance of United Nations Security Resolution number 242 in exchange for official recognition by the United States. Part of this 1967 resolution recognizes Israel's right to exist as a state, an obvious precondition of peace in the Middle East. The PLO is sticking to its annihilation oath as if in a stupor.

It is a barren position. Historical rights and wrongs aside, Israel exists and is fully supported by the world’s major military and economic power. There is no possibility the United States would abandon Israel to Arab nationals. And there is little question that Israel itself is capable of defending itself from Arab aggression. Israel is there to Stay.

President Carter has publicly supported the concept of a Separate homeland for the Palestinian refugees who so steadfastly insist on remaining refugees and whom the other Arab states take pleasure in regarding as refugees. Israel rejects the homeland concept, given the PLO’s unwavering dedication to Israel's destruction. The creation of a Palestinian homeland would be the creation of an enemy military base on Israel's border. It would be a direct security threat. Even Little Red Riding Hood was not that gullible.

President Carter is finding the same intractable conditions with which his predecessors struggled for so many years in the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin has been unnecessarily provocative in his consolidation of Israeli settlements in occupied territories, but the PLO is no less brittle and much more dangerous in its adherence to an insidious oath. Existence is, after all, the fundamental human right.

We may have to accept stalemate as the word for peace in the Middle East.

NEW ‘SPECIALTY’ CROP COMING? From September/October issue of The Furrow

A review of exotic specialty crops now grown commercially or experimentally in North America is contained in the September/ October issue of The Furrow, published by John Deere, and one particularly promising ‘specialty’? could move into the ranks of major crops in Canada, the farm magazine says.

The Jerusalem artichoke, a kind of native sunflower, could catapult into position as one of the major crops of North America. Its tuberous root is a tasty vegetable and is packed with fructose, a fruit sugar that is 12 times sweeter than table sugar. With an average tuber yield of 20 tons per acre, Jerusalem artichoke is said to produce more sugar than sugarbeets. In addition, the tops will yield about 15 tons of forage per acre.

One of the major benefits of the crop, however, may be in the creation of an industrial raw material.

Mark Stauffer, of the Agriculture Canada Research Station in Morden, Manitoba, says the crop could theoretically be a prodigious producer of alcohol -- up to 500 gallons per acre. That's nearly twice as much as corn will produce.

DEER FOR SALE From the Financial Post

New Zealand's farmers, already blessed with record sales for wool, meat and dairy products overseas, are discovering deer farming is a promising additional source of income.

Deer farming has yielded above-average profits and almost certain demand from West Germany in particular, writes Wolfgang Klesse from Auckland in The Financial Post. It has gained steadily since the early 1970s, and, on a conservative estimate, the country has herds of more than 20,000 farmed deer - and the population is growing rapidly.

Breeding herds were selling in excess of NZ$300 (C$287) each late last year and are now commanding about NZ$400, The price of antler velvet is approaching NS$40 to 50 per kilogram and the price for stags is rising, too. According to agricultural experts, deer farming could be two to three times as profitable as sheep farming despite the need for higher capital investment

New Zealand's exports of venison could be expanded without affecting prices. But at present it is almost impossible to buy venison locally at retail level - not surprising with excellent prices paid by overseas buyers,

HOUSING STARTS DOWN

Housing starts in Ontario and Alberta were up some- what for June, 1977 but declined in all other pro- vinces for a total decrease over June 1976 of 8.7 percent. (from 23,301 last June to 21,279 this vear in June). The sharpest decline was in the Maritime pro- vinces. For the first six months of 1977 housing starts in urban centres of 10,000 and over were down by 12.3 percent according to Stats Canada. January to June starts this year totalled 86,882, down from 99,112 in the same period last year.

BANK SEES CONTINUED SLOW GROWTH FOR CANADIAN ECONOMY

The August Business Re- view of the Bank of Montreal presents a rather gloomy view of the current economic situation in Canada under the heading "Grit your Teeth - Slow Growth to Continue.” The present recovery is termed sluggish in Canada and it is pointed out that unemployment is higher now than it was at the bottom of the recession two years ago. While industrial production has climbed 25 percent from the recession through in the United States, the recovery there is lagging in many

respects, says the Review, since unemployment and un- used industrial capacity re- main relatively large.

In Canada, however, in- dustrial production has clim- bed only seven percent since the summer of 1975. Mea- sured against the previous peak the increase in the United States is 10 percent where there has been prac- tically no gain in Canada. In the early stages of the recovery housing was a prime factor, and consumer spending also moved up rapidly, but both have tapered off.

LABOUR COSTS HIGH

The growth of labour in- come, adjusted for inflation, has been extremely large in Canada even during the 1974-75 recession and the contrast with the United States is startling, according to the Review.

The 26 percent increase in Canada since the 1973 boom period compares with only three percent in the United States, Furthermore Canada did not experience a decline in income during the re- cession as occurred in the United States. These high wage rate increases are al- ready threatening Canada's international competitive po- sition, particuarly in the area of manufactured-goods

ST. ALBERT & STURGEON GAZFTTF, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1977

FARM INCOME DOWN

Farm income, on the other hand is actually declining. There was a sharp fall-off this year - not just a slowdown in the growth rate. The Review states that in the first five months of 1977 farm cash receipts were down seven percent from a year ago. Business capital spen- ding has not turned up and

the Review says doubt exists that it will in the near future. The bank feels that Canada must now stick with the gradual approach it has chosen over an extended time, and points out that there is ‘ta real danger that public impatience with the slow progress will force authorities to abandon their present policy and take a much more stimulative st- ance."*

A Look at Other Centres

FIRM MOVES ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Melcor Homes Limited, an Edmonton based subsidiary of Melcor Developments Limited is moving into the field of affordable housing after more than a year of planning and research.

Their first project will be 38 homes in Wetaskiwin's Lynalta Park, ranging in price from $39,988 to $43,682 including the serviced lot.

The homes will range in size from 803 square feet with a developable basement to 1040 square feet with a bath and a half.

The smallest housing lot is SO x 110 feet and the largest, 60 x 120 feet. The home sites are located in a partially developed 100 plus home subdivision which includes land for a park area to be developed this year. A major shopping centre within two blocks of the development is also in the final stages of negotiation and planning.

In discussing the project, regional manager for Melcor Ken West points out that new direction by Melcor had not been a response to any external suggestion or example. It had evolved from the assessment by Melcor vice-president Terry Smith that less expensive housing was being neglected by the industry.

The company’s first move last year was to work with design consultants and architects to come up with the New Pioneer series of house plans. The series includes seven basic house designs with three or four elevations for each.

When all of the series plan specs were priced out it was apparent that modest but good quality single family homes could be put on the market at the less than $44 a square foot if land could be acquired at less than the cost in the major urban centres.

UotA CB symposium

The Department of Com- munications is sponsoring a public symposium on the General Radio Service (Ci- tizens’ Band Radio) at the University of Alberta, Friday evening and Saturday, Sep- tember 16 and 17.

The symposium is to pro- vide a forum for discussion of the key issues facing the General Radio Service in Canada and to make re- commendations for future policy formulation.

GRS clubs, GRS users in industry, amateur radio op- erators, equipment suppliers government officials, law enforcement agencies, edu- cators and private citizens will be represented.

The symposium is expec- ted to be of greatest appeal to those affected by GRS and those interested in it as a social phenomenon.

The keynote address will be given on Friday evening at 8 p.m. by Ross Milne, MP, parliamentary secretary to Minister of Communications Jeanne Sauve.

On Saturday, workshops will examine five topics: Present and Future Uses of GRS; Social and Economic Implications; Regulations and Enforcement; Interfer-

“Soon the provincial goy- ernment will get fed up with it,’’ Mr. Priddle commented.

Mr. Priddle hinted that he would open up St. Albert council which presently holds an administrative meeting each month, closed to the public.

But he also pointed out that if matters like land purchases came up, that would have to be dealt with in camera, as well as ‘‘hiring and firing’’ of municipal staff.

Mr. Priddle has also been an executive director with the Citizens Planning Or- ganization of Canada and has also worked on the other side of the fence with a de- velopers organization.

Jellyfish are primitive ani- mals, 95 percent water and lacking true eyes, ears or brain, Yet they have been around for a longtime, the National Geographic Society says. Geologists have found jellyfish fossils more than 400 million years old.

That old saying about rats leaving a sinking ship is probably based on fact, the National Geographic says. Not motivated by prophetic powers, the rats leave because their homes in the bilges flood first, driving them to safety.

In the Gimi culture of New Guinea, husbands and wives live apart, the National Geographic says. Men live in communal houses and wo- men live with their children and pigs in small huts. Wives grow the food, but husbands cook their own meals.

If someone steals your three- year-old television set, will your homeowners insurance buy you a new one?

Normally the answer would be ‘'No,"’ because your homeowners insurance policy is designed and priced to cover your personal property up to its current cash value only. Thus, the television set you bought three years ago for $420 might today be worthless than $300. And that’s about what your insurance would pay. But that isn't much consolation when inflation may force you to pay $480 today to replace your TV set. Where are you going to come up with the difference?

FROM SAFECO... THAT’S WHERE!

SAFECO’S broad homeowners policy now can provide full value protection which can replace your insured personal property - new for old - if it’s stolen,

damaged or destroyed. That includes your TV, carpet, drapes, furniture, clothing and most other personal property you own.

And the good part is that it won't cost you an arm and a leg to enjoy this added protection,

So what's SAFECO'S Full Value Protection worth to you? It could be worth a new television set. It could be worth a whole lot more! We do know it's a real buy in terms of peace of mind.

If you feel you'd like to sleep a little more soundly at night knowing you have this added protection, give us a call or see us on Grandin Mall.

CHANGES

Inevitably there are some changes after the brochure went to the printers. Be- ginners classes in karate will be held from 7-9 p.m, and not at the times stated and floor hockey will run from September 29 - December 1 and not as stated. The pre-school story hour at the Library is not included in the Department's program. The children’s librarian will be making an announcement about this popular children’s activity and in the meantime enquiries can be directed to the library at 459-7731.

If there is enough interest, a third ‘combined dancing”’ class may be added to the curriculum. It will be for the nine year olds and over and as the title suggests will consist of tap, ballet, jazz and gymnastic dancing - an excellent way of introducing the participants to different forms of dancing. Phone the Community Services Depart- ment at 459-6601 if interes- ted.

Ladies interested in keep- ing fit should note that the keep-fit class advertised in the brochure as being held one night per week for two hours (Thursdays, 8 - 10 p.m.) has been changed to one hour for each of two evenings per week, Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30 - 10:30 p.m.

Students taking this course will have the unique opp- ortunity of learning the basic technique and hand gestures of Bharata Natyam along with being introduced to the history, philosophy and theory of the art. As well, it will provide an understand- ing of the Indian people through their culture -- look into their daily lives, out- looks, and religious beliefs and an appreciation of their arts -- how dance is linked with music, sculpture, pain- ting and icon-making.

Madhurika (Maureen San- derson), the instructor for the course, has studied various forms of dance and drama from childhood, as well as studying four years in London, England under Bal- asundari, the famous Cey- lonese exponent of the Kala- kshetra style of Bharata Natyam,

This course will be of interest to both the exper- ienced dancer as well as the inexperienced. As there is a great deal of facial ex- pression and hand gestures (i.e. ‘‘mime’’) in India dance, it will also be of great interest to drama students and actors.

A Taste of Honey, by Shelagh Delaney from Nov. 3 - 19. A sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh look at the discrepancy between the first flush of love in a girl's life and the jaded spectre of the same that she witnesses among the adults of her world. Howard Dallin, ar- ticstic director of Persephone Theatre, guest directs a cast of local actors and actresses.

An old, old story told in modern idiom comprises the second show, namely the teachings of Jesus according to Matthew according to Stephen Schwartz and John Michael Tebelak in Godspell (Dec. 1 - 19). A company of 14 actors, singers, and musicians will be directed by Mark Schoenberg.

Associate Artistic Director Randy Maertz will direct Play Strindberg (Jan. 12 - 28) as the third offering of Theatre 3’s season. An adaptation by Friedrich Dur- renmatt of Strindberg’s Dance of Death, Play Strind- berg crystallizes the forces at work in a marriage when people are dependent on one another, but at the same time are moved, by their close- ness, to destroy one another.

Again this season Theatre 3 will collaborate with another regional theatre co- mpany of a joint production. Vanities, by Jack Heifner, will be mounted by Mark Schoenberg to open at the Persephone Theatre in Sask- atoon, and move to Theatre 3 for Feb. 16 - Mar. 4. Vanities is a topical and timely look at stages in the lives of three women as they pass from

ness of the Canadian prairie, the other in the concrete desert of New York. Randy Maertz directs.

For their sixth slot, April 13 - 29, Theatre 3 is currently negotiating for the rights to produce The Guardsman by Ferenac Molner, a charming

expose of actors and ac- tresses and their problems with illusions in the illu- sionary world of the theatre.

Fauve Heritage exhibition at art gallery

‘The Fauve Heritage,’’ an exhibition which examines 20th Century art influenced by ‘‘Fauve’’ attitudes toward colour, will open at the Edmonton Art Gallery on Friday, September 9.

In 1905, a group of French artists showed paintings using such brilliant colours and such flat patterns that the newspaper review called them, ‘‘Fauves,’’ meaning “*Wild Beasts.’’ Their pain- tings seemed ‘‘wild’’ com- pared even to advanced art of their time and still look startlingly modern, The most famous Fauve painter was Henri Matisse, other Fauves were Andre Derain, Maurice de Viaminck, Kees van Dongen and Albert Marquet.

The exhibition at the Edmonton Art Gallery begins with Fauve works by Mar- quet, Derain and Viaminck, and explores the influence of their attitudes towards colour on 20th Century artists up to contemporary painters such as Jack Bush, Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland. The show has been assembled from the Gallery's perman- ent loan collections, and from private and public collections including the National Gall- ery of Canada and the Hirschhorn Museum, Wash- ington, D.C.

The exhibition does not pretend to include all the 20th Century artists who

have been affected by the Fauves’ potent example, but key works illustrate various movements. Many Canadian artists have been included who were directly or in- directly influenced by Fau- vist ideas, rather than their better known American counterparts.

Emily Carr, for example, painted in the Fauve style (and exhibited with the Fauves) during her early stay in Paris, while John Lyman transmitted Matisse’s ideas

to a generation of Montreal artists after his return from France.

The currency of the Fau- ves’ use of brilliant un- modulated colours, placed side by side, is illustrated by paintings by young Cana- dians, as well as by Jack Bush, Kenneth Noland, Mo- rris Louis, Frank Stella and Helen Frankenthaler.

Robert Campbell exhibition

at art gallery

The Art Rental and Sales Gallery is presenting an exhibition and sale of water- colours by the late Edmonton artist Robert Campbeli.

Mr. Campbell’s paintings are an invaluable historical record of our immediate history. He painted honest, accurate renderings of what was in Edmonton and A\l- berta. Robert Campbell pai- nted because he was gen- uinely concerned, and pos- sessed an uncommon feeling for the panorama of life surrounding him.

The paintings will be on display in the Rental Gallery, located in the Edmonton Art Gallery until September 15,

Teen-age pregnancies lowest in Quebec

Speaking to the Women's Association of Education and Social Action in Rimouski, Quebec on August 11 the federal minister of Health and Welfare, Marc Lalonde, noted that ‘‘one hears con- siderable mention of Queb- ec’s low fertility rate, which is the lowest of all the provinces.’’

“The striking difference,” he said, ‘‘lies in the fact that Quebec women between the ages of 1S and 24 years have dramatically fewer births than do women elsewhere in Canada. Fox the year 1974 the fertility rate for women age 15 - 19 was: Canada 34.3, births per thousand women; Quebec 16.6, less than half the national average. For women 20 - 24 the rates were: Canada 110.3 births per thousand women; Que- bec 91.1 and Ontario 114.6, For the age group 25 - 49 Quebec's fertility rate re- sembles the national aver- age. Quebec, noted Mr. Lalonde, has a ‘‘markedly lower rate of teen-age preg- nancy, and pregnancy among women in their early twen- ties.’’

The minister also gave the women some interesting figures to show that Quebec women enrolled in fulltime bachelor’s programs in the province's universities out-

number their counterparts in the rest of Canada. ‘‘In 1975-76, women comprised 30.9 percent of all students in Canada enrolled in pure sciences - in Quebec women made up 33.6 percent. In medicine the national aver- age shows women at 28.5 per cent, while in Quebec pr- ovince 31.6 percent of all medical students were wo- men. Similar figures applied to women’s enrollment in dentistry, architecture and optometry, all of which faculties had higher enroll- ment of women than the national average.

Mr. Lalonde urged Quebec women to ‘‘make the leap from family life to public life, saying the two are not incompatible, and in the current sociological context this leap can only help women and society to realize their full potential.’’

overseas don’t put Canadians to work

Domestic clothing manufae turers who sell styles with their own label also produce house brands for large retailers. Shop- pers should keep in mind that these “house brand’ garments are generally cheaper than national brands and the retailer sets stan dards for quality and style

Smaller business can down by buying from jobbers, or wholesalers, who import garments in large quan- tities. Since many stores may buy from the same wholesaler, the same dress could appear in neighboring shops. The owners will have to price the merchan- dise very carefully in order not to lose sales to their competition

One cost can be attributed to neither manufacturer nor retailer A store must calculate losses from shoplifting in its markups and this too finds its way onto the price tag.

Small is beautiful in the clo- thing department, especially on the price tag. Shoppers seem under the impression that clo- thing is doing more than its share to squeeze the family budget. However, relative to the rise in wages, the clothing dollar actu- ally has one-third more purchas- ing power than in 1971, accord- ing to the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI)

trol. The profit margins and employees wages of larger com panies (who employ more than 500) are monitored, but the Board allows them to pass along increased costs of manufacturing and wages to the retailer

Retailer's costs are also on the

rise. The larger chain stores underwent a period of rapid expansion from 1972 to 1975

This growth has slowed to some extent and efficiency is increas- ing. Most of the major retailers have seen their sales rising, but after-tax profits shrinking. The higher costs of doing business are all reflected in the price of your tee shirt and jeans. Higher costs such as energy to heat and light stores, construction costs of new facilities, wages of

sales and

other staff, increasing taxes on property, and the higher cost of carrying inventory, all add to the price the consumer pays

In future, large retailers may have to make some choices in order to hold down prices. One possibility is reducing, or charg ing for such services as altera

tions, shoppers service for shut and delivery

ins, baby-sitting

Of every $100 consumers spent in 1971, $11.25 went for family clothing. Today however, only $9.80 of every $100 consumer dollars spent is needed to buy the same clothing.

Midgets capture

Summer Games

silver medal

The Willowbrook Saints Midget baseball team arr- ived home on Saturday night, proud possessors of the silver medal won at our Alberta Summer Games held this year at Red Deer. The Saints, representing Zone 5, competed against other zo- nes represented by Medicine Hat, Calgary, Trochu, Lac-

ombe, Edmonton, Peace River and Cold Lake. St. Albert 6 - Medicine Hat 4

Righthander Barry Kuz- minsky picked up the win on a six hitter, striking out 10. The Saints started their nine hit attack in the first inning when Colin Tooth homered with a line drive shot over the right field fence after lead-off batter Brent Galbraith had drawn a walk.

The 2-0 score held up till the fourth inning when both teams picked up single runs. Ken Young opened with a single, and after two were out, Tim Shipanoff reached base on an error and Gal- braith singled.

Three runs in the fifth resulted from an error, and singles by Ron Reeve, Darren Hapke and Grant Anderson, The Hat came back with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. With the tying runs in scoring position and two out, Kuz- minsky ended the game by striking out a Medicine Hat pinch-hitter.

St. Albert 7 - Edmonton 1 .

This score would suggest an easy win for the Saints over the tough Belvedere team representing Zone 6. However, it was a big six run inning after two extra inn- ings which broke up probably the best game of the entire playoffs.

The score was tied 1-1 after the regulation seven innings of tense *‘‘actior

packed”’ play. Galbraith led off the sixth with a walk and was replaced by ‘‘fleet footed’’ Marty Scheibelhof- er. Kuzminsky advanced Scheibelhofer to second with a sacrifice bunt, and the Strategy paid off when pitcher Darren Hapke lined a single to centre to score the games first run. However, Edmonton tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on an error, walk, and an infield hit.

The ‘bubble burst’ in the top of the ninth when Grant Anderson walked. Things didn’t look good after the next two batters failed to reach base. Successive walks to Scheibelhofer and Kuz- minsky loaded the bases, and set the stage for a two run single by Colin Tooth. Hapke then unloaded a booming 400 foot blast over the centrefield fence to score three more. Catcher Ron Reeve followed with a perfect bunt and ended up on third base after a wild throw on the play. Young followed with a single to score another run.

Hapke, with relief help from Kuzminsky in the eigh- th, handled the mound duties allowing only four hits and striking out nine. Reeve’s almost flawless receiving, and picking off a couple of runners, earned him the defensive star of the game. Cliff Greening, with two fine running catches in right field in the fifth inning, also turned what looked like base hits into important outs.

Lacombe 10 - St. Albert 7

The locals opened the scoring when Guy Derieu singled, stole second, and scored on Reeves single. Lacombe tied things up with two hits in their half of the first. The Saints took a 2-1 lead in the second on singles by Tim Shipanoff, Dwayne Please turn to page 22

for championship

This year, the Lions were not to be denied the league championship as they dis- played considerable poise and strong pitching in de- feating top flight oppostion in Westlock, Alberta, August 28.

It was the moment mana- ger Allan Gerlach had been waiting for since 1974 when Rochester barnstormed the league with a young and aggressive baseball club. That year Rochester finished fourth overall only to be trounced in the champion- ship final by Bon Accord (11-1). In 1975, Rochester failed to advance into the championship series, but in 1976, after finishing in third spot, they came storming back to whip the Bon Accord Tigers 9-1 in semi-final play.

The ever-powerful West- lock Red Lions, however denied Rochester the ch- ampionship by defeating them in the final by a score of 12-S. This season, Rochester finished in second position (8-4-2) behind the Westlock Red Lions who clinched their third consecutive pennant to win the Molson Cup. It was Rochester’s first champion- ship ever and they had to earn every inning of it.

Westlock pitcher Dwaine Jolliffe stymied Morinville for six innings while collec- ting eight strike-outs as his team-mates scored four runs on three hits and two Morinville errors in semifinal

Chuck Keller drove in three of the four Westlock runs when he homered in the sixth. The Morinville Manu- facturers exploded in the seventh inning with four hits which, combined with one Westlock error, scored three runs. In the eight, Westlock scored Keller from third on a wild pitch which proved to be the winning run.

Morinville threatened to send the game into extra innings after Jim Newman walked and scored on a single by Denis Fitzgerald in the ninth. However, West- lock put the game away when Keller fielded Georges St. Laurent’s sharply hit ground ball and elected to throw Fitzgerald out at second.

Brian Kelm and reliever Terry O'Brian threw well for the Barrhead Broncos all- owing only five hits during the entire semi-final B game. What proved to be the difference in the final analy- sis were the six walks which the duo gave up to Roch- ester. Owen Voaklander, the lead-off batter for the Lions scored twice, while batting 0 for 2 with three walks. Ray Wagner, the winning pit- cher, scattered seven Bronco hits, while striking out seven batters and allowing but three walks.

Rick Jackson played a strong game defensively for the Broncos at shortstop while Hawkey provided the Broncos with their best hitting. Rochester gave very little away defensiygly in the game while capitalizing on the Bronco errors and num- erous wild pitches to advance runners into scoring position.

Koko Gerlach who went 1 for 3 with a walk led the Rochester batters.

The Rochester Lions over- powered Westlock in the final game of the series. Owne Voaklander led the batting assault in the top of the first inning by slamming a home run on the second pitch of the game off starting pitcher Bob Oko. Rochester continued by amassing six hits in the first three innings while scoring all of their four runs before Dwaine Jolliffe came in to relieve in the fourth.

Jolliffe all but silenced the Rochester batters by striking

out six and scattering four hits in six innings. The Red Lion defensive unit held firmly, while Rick Mu@ller covered centrefield flawless- ly.

Westlock committed but one error late in the game which did not really jeo- pardize their chance to win the game.

Mr. difference was Gary Huculak the league’s MVP for 1977, and the winning pitcher. Huculak faced what many baseball fans believe to be the strongest batting line-

Huculak - NCABL’s MVP

The following list includes the 11 top baseball players from the NCABL in the balloting for most valuable player in 1977. All selections were made by opposing coaches and managers dur- ing regular season play.

The MVP for 1977, Gary Huculak of the Rochester Lions, was presented with the league trophy by Paul

Riopel, commissioner of the league, in a brief ceremony during the recent Champ- ionship Series held at Moun- tie Park in Westlock.

up in the NCABL. He proved himself worthy of the victory by striking out 10 batters while allowing but two walks and scattering six hits.

The Rochester offense, on the other hand, centered around the same Gary Hucu- lak and Ken Day (two for four) as well as Gary Nastiuk and Owen Voaklander who went two for three.

The boys in blue from Rochester will never forget it -- they've brought home the coveted League Champion- ship Trophy.

Midgets

Continued from page 21 Wade and Byron Bailey. Lacombe picked up five big runs in the third, climaxed by a three-run homer that barely cleared the centrefield fence. Shipanoff singled again in the fourth, but some good defensive play by the opposition kept the locals off the scoresheet. Down 6-2, it appeared the Saints hada rally going in the sixth when singles by Reeve and Colin Tooth and an intensional walk to Hapke loaded the bases with none out, but then failed to score. Rob Tooth opened the seventh witha double, but got picked off on a close call by a new Lacombe pitcher. Galbraith walked and after two were out, Reeve doubled and Colin Tooth singled to score a run. Hapke again drew an intentional base on balls, to load the bases. However, the Lacombe pit- cher ended the rally witha tremendous grab on a line drive by Shipanoff. The winners added three

more in the seventh and another in the eighth to end their scoring. The Saints picked up three in the eighth on Young's double, Ander- son's triple and a couple of errors. One run in the ninth on a Hapke single scored Colin Tooth, who had reach- ed base on an error, but that was where the scoring ended for our locals.

Colin Tooth started on the mound, was relieved in the third inning by Hapke, and Kuzminsky finished up the game.

Manager Ben Tooth and Coach Frank Galbraith would like to thank those who have supported the team in their successful season. Jack Gr- eening, Tom Parayko and Arnold Bailey were all in- volved in various aspects, like scorekeeping, assisting in coaching, and base um- piring.

The Saints compiled a 21-11 (.656) record over-all, which Galbraith points out exceeds even the Dodgers and the Reds.

Eight boys will be eligible for midget next year, and with some good bantams on their way up, it all adds up to

Oilers open training camp

Edmonton Oilers Coach Glen Sather announced re- cently the Oilers training camp will open Wednesday, September 21 at the Coli- seum with what is hoped to be a good number of quality and experienced players ob- tained in the off season.

For the first time in Oiler history there appeared to be a good crop of defensemen which has been a sore spot in the last few seasons.

On the forward line it is hoped that Sather will be able to come up with a few

more players who can put the puck in the net more consistently, Last season the Oilers scored only 243 goals which was the worst record in the league.

Training camp lists are now being made up and should be available for next week's Gazette.

Oiler general manager Brian Coacher also released the Oiler home schedule recently which will see the Winnipeg Jets opening the season here October 12.

Jets will make six app-

earances here this season during the regular schedule as will Houston, Indianapolis and Cincinatti. Quebec and Birmingham will visit five times each with New Eng- land here for four dates.

Players of the Week, Ken Neiss and Shane Jaffer. led

the Arrows in their victories. Ken picked up eight goals and three assists and Shane contributed two goals and eight assists. (see top scorers below).

Message found in gardening

Is there more of a message from consumers in the re- cent backyard yvardening expansion than just an ef- fort to stretch the food dol- lar?

It’s a possibility, accord ing to one finding ina USDA survey about food last year.

For the first time in quite a while, more than half of all households will have a gar den plot this year, That’s up about 10 percent in just three years.

While the economies of growing your own is a strong incentive, this gar dening trend almost directly parallels the number of households in which at least one member has made a permanent change in diet

The most pronounced shift in foods eaten has been an increase in salad vegetables, such as green peppers, lettuce, raw breecoli,

Migratory birds regulations for 1977 reflect conservation needs

The ghost of last winter's weather has come back to haunt the half million hun- ters in Canada. Decreased limits under the Migratory bird regulations for 1977 are required to conserve North America’s waterfowl.

The newly released regu- lations were prepared by the Canadian Wildlife Service of Fisheries and Environment Canada in conjunction with provincial wildlife agencies after extensive examinations of bird populations and breeding conditions.

REPERCUSSION OF ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

The biggest factors affect- ing migratory bird popula- tions this year were the freezing weather in the East and the drought in the Prairies.

The ‘‘big freeze’’ in January 1977 in the eastern United States froze the estuaries of the coast of New Jersey and the upper part of Chesapeake Bay. The brant, which winters in these loca- tions, was reduced in num- ber from about 115,000 to about 35,000.

To permit the rebuilding of the population to a less critical level, no hunting of brant will be allowed in Ontario, Quebec or the Maritimes, the flyway of this species of goose.

The drought in Saskat- chewan and Manitoba early in 1977 has greatly affected those migratory birds which nest early or build nests over water on rushes. Thus the daily bag limit and the possession limit for ducks have been reduced respec-

CONSERVATION EFFORTS

Certain changes in the Migratory Bird Regulations result from the desire to improve conservation prac- tices.

Because not all environ- mental conditions can be foreseen, the Minister of Fisheries and Environment Canada has been given the power to vary during the hunting season any hunting period or quota, or to pro- hibit the hunting of any species if changing con- ditions dictate that such a measure is necessary for conservation,

Throughout Canada mig- ratory bird hunting is allow- ed only from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset. period is necessary for better identification of species, for less crippling, to ensure retrieval, and also for hunter safety. One change in 1977 is that north of the 60th parallel only, hunting times will be from one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset,

because of the longer periods |

of twilight in the North.

Also, because it will im- prove utilization and conser- valion practices, a reduced possession limit has been placed on mergansers and cools.

A person who has more birds in his possession than allowed by law will often claim to be holding those birds for another person. Because of this practice, a new regulation has been

This ©

introduced that no person shall have in his possession one carcass ofa migratory bird belonging to another person unless the carcass has atag attached which gives the following information:

1) the number of the migratory game bird hunting permit under which the bird was shot,

2) the signature of the holder of this permit

3) the date upon which the bird was shot,

4) the name and address of the present owner of the carcass.

There is no official tag, but a durable one is recomm- ended.

The period during which bait may not be deposited before the open season (without permission) has been increased to 14 days

from the previous seven,

As usual, those who are convicted In contravention ol the hunting regulation los: the right to apply for or hold a migratory game bird hunt ing permit for one year from the date of conviction. En forcement efforts which are undertaken by the RCMP and provincial wildlife offi cers, will be increased this year.

The Alberta Government has taken steps to control unplanned development of Lake shorelands.

The cabinet passed regu- lations which require the province to approve or reject proposals for major devel- opments along 1S specified lakes.

The lakes covered by the regulations are: Baptiste. Garner, Gull, Island, Isle, Lac la Biche, Lac la Nonne, Lac Ste. Anne, Moose. Muriel, Nakamun, Sandy, Skeleton, Sturgeon and Wiz- ard.

The regulations apply to a wide variety of potential developnients but the activi- ty most likely to be affected is the preparation of land for recreational development.

The building of cottages on land which is already sub- divided would not be affec- ted, but the subdivision of whole parcels of land comes under the regulations.

Environment Minister Da- ve Russell said the govern- ment has taken action be- cause prime shoreland is quickly becoming developed and the province wants to

ensure this resource is used in the most efficient manner.

Shorelands are often en vironmentally sensitive and must be treated with care if they are to be maintained for use in future years.

The regulations are in tended to strengthen the planning around lakes and to overcome the inappropriate use of land which has been occurring in the absence of any assessment of how the shorelands can best be used.

The regulations will take effect immediately and will cover unapproved projects that are underway as well as

The regulations have three principal features which are intended to result in planned lakeshore use.

The development of a “Lake Management Plan" is the first step, the plan would include an assessmentofa lake and its adjacent lands and recommendations on which lands might be used for cottages or for public beaches. or which should be left untouched.

Lake management plans could then be used as the basis for the second step -- zoning bylaws which muni cipalities could pass to regulate how the land might be developed.

The third feature of the regulations is the ‘Lake Shorelands Development Approval” which the pro- vincial government must grant before a project may be undertaken,

A development approval will not be issued, unless a project conforms to the requirements of the lake management plan and the zoning bylaws. Approval would not be granted unless management plans and zon- ing bylaws exist. Any ex- ception to this requirement needs the approval of the minister of the environment.

The general criteria that the government would use in determining whether a pro- ject would be approved were established since the enact- ment of the land surface conservation and reclamation aet,

The provincial government and the seven” regional planning commissions, have

been working together on problems related to lake shorelands, the basic studies required for management plans are underway, or com- pleted for about 10 lakes They will continue to work together in developing man

Voyager spacecraft soon on their way

The United Nations wants no part of that interplanetary violence depicted in ‘Star Wars."*

U.N. delegates have re- corded messages in 12 languages on copper-plated records designed to be carried aloft in the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft slated for launch in late August and early September.

“If an advanced civiliza- tion in the outer reaches of the solar system finds the spacecraft, it should have no trouble figuring out how to

play the records and de- cipher them,’ says a Nation- al Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman.

The two Voyagers will first explore Jupiter, then acc- elerated by that planet's gravitational force will head for Saturn, the National Geographic Society says. On their 10-year-long space od- yssey, they will take a look at several of the moons surr- ounding the two planets, and the second craft may go far beyond Saturn to Uranus and possibly Neptune.

Instruments on the two Voyagers will beam pictures back to earth and perform scientific experiments.

Voyager 1 will make its closest approach to Jupiter -- about 110,000 miles from the surface of the planet -- on March S, 1979. It will transmit pictures as early as December 1978,

The second spacecraft, following a different path than its predecessor, will pass 399,000 miles from the

centre of Jupiter at its closest approach on July 10, 1979. Voyager 2 will continue to Uranus, arriving in January 1986, only if the primary Saturn mission has been performed successfully. Be- cause of the alignment of the outer planets at the time, it could also visit Neptune. “By exploring outer pl- anets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, we can go back in time and sample the conditions from which the sun and the inner

planets are believed to have condensed,’’ says NASA public affairs officer Nicholas Panagakos.

Uranus and neighboring Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune belong to a subfamily in the solar system called the Jovian planets. All rotate furiously, have dense at- mospheres, and consist of far lighter elements than earth- like, or terrestrial, planets such as Mars and Venus.

Four of Jupiter's moons, lo, Europa, Ganymede. and

Callisto, are interesting in their own right. lo and Europa are nearly the size of earth’s moon or larger. Callisto is the size of the planet Mercury, and Gany- mede is even larger.

lo, closest in of the large moons and the most reflec- tive object in the solar system, is of special interest. Normally orange, it has been seen to brighten for about 15 minutes as it comes out from Jupiter's shadow. One ex- planation: A gas, possibly

ammonia or methane, ‘‘sn ows"’ out of lo’s atmosphere while in the shadow, then swiftly evaporates in the sunlight.

lo also arouses interest because its orbital motion somehow modulates many of Jupiter's awesome bursts of radio energy.

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is unique because it is the only satellite in the solar system known to have an appreciable atmosphere,

BACM Panthers finish season in style

The St. Albert Hercules “BACM Panthers"’ took to the road this past weekend to participate in a two day invitational bantam girls fastball tournament in Dray- ton Valley. In the first game St. Albert met Ardrossan. The girls got off to a slow Start and at the bottom of the third inning were behind 13 - 0. Then they started and in the last four innings gave up only three runs and scored 12 losing the game 16 - 12. The big hitter for St. Albert was Janet Neumann who hit two triples.

In the second game St. Albert played Onoway winn- ing the game 14 - 3 in five innings. Chris Ahronson was the winning pitcher striking out six and walking only one. Andrew Riddell hit a home run for St. Albert and Cindy Weismantel and Janet Neu- mann each had two doubles.

In the semi-final game St. Albert met Ardrossan once again in what was the most exciting game of the tourna- ment. St. Alberi led for the first six innings but Ar- drossan tied it up in the seventh inning. The game then went into an extra inning and St. Albert gave up one run losing the game 12 - 11. Tracy Campbell hit a home run for St. Albert and Lorna Cockwill hit a double. Andrea Riddell pitched a fine game for St. Albert striking out seven,

Outstanding performances were given by catcher Brenda Burgess and fielder Lorna Cockwill.

Ardrossan went on to beat Sherwood Park to win the tournament. Although the **Panthers"’ did not bring the trophies home the coaches were proud of the way the

Morinville road gets $2 million face lift

“The motion is carried God Help us!"

Thus said Morinville Ma- yor Art Stapleton at the town’s regular council meet- ing last week (August 30) as it awarded a $524,039.70 contract for Secondary Road 642 improvements to the lowest bidder Everall Con- struction Limited.

It was councillor Harvey Atkinson who moved that council accept the lowest bid, in spite of the fact there were reasons voiced why the coucil

might have awarded the contract to someone else.

Councillor Atkinson wan- ted council to take the lowest bid,'‘in spite of the way I feel."

About a mile of road will be improved within Morin- ville from the War Monu- ment into the Forest Glenn Subdivision. It is scheduled for completion around mid 1978.

Mayor Stapleton seemed anxious to get work on the road started before the bad weather began.

Morinville aims

for general plan to hold back growth

Morinville’s 15-18 percent growth rate caused some concern at the regular meeting of town council August 30.

It lead Mayor Art Staple- ton to say, *‘It's going to have to be controlled to the point of 11 percent.”

Councillor Harvey Atkin- son feared the town could hit 25 percent growth ‘‘without even trying’’ and that 10,000 population for Morinville could be a more realistic figure for 1984,

He wanted the 15 percent growth ‘‘surge’’ to level itself out and wanted the population figure for the general plan to be 7500 in 1984,

To keep on top of Morinville’s growth, a downtown study and a master recreation plan are already in the works and are going to be looked at more closely in September.

Mayor Stapleton said he wants the growth stayed a while till the town can catch up with recreation and educational facilities.

‘*We've got two years

(growth) running in one this ©

year,"’ he said.

**This will all have to be included in the General Plan," he explained, adding, **without it, we might have too much haphazard dev- elopment taking place.’

railroad tracks. ** **

A SERVICING STUDY was approved for the Grandin West area of Morinville specifically the area north and east of the Safari Inn.

** ** **

A $224,424 contract was awarded to Parkins Con- struction, for the storm water pumphouse stage four of the Forest Glenn Subdivision.

** ** **

AN INFORMATION ITEM told council that Local Authorities Board executive order #9640 authorizes the annexation of Section Three in Morinville which will take effect January 1,1978. This will add another 600 de- velopable acres to the town, and will be controlled by Qualico.

** ** *

IT WAS TOUGH BEANS for Morinville resident Lloyd Congdon who wanted to set up a canopies distribution centre for trucks at his home.

The application for the business was denied, since the business would have been set up in a residential area, contravening the zon- ing bylaw.

Commenting on the app- lication refusal, Mayor Art Stapleton said, ‘If we open this can of worms, we will have a lot more of it."’

** ** **

COUNCIL MOVED that the town should conduct the Thibault School Board elec- tion.

‘lL have no opposition to the idea as long as they are prepared to pay their share of the costs,"’ said Mayor Stapleton.

* ** **

FOLLOWING a late dis- cussion with representatives of Willowbrook Homes, there seemed some hope that a decision to refuse that firm a permit to move a house to Morinville might be ov- eruled. The house is located at Parkland Building Sup- plies 170th Street and 70th Avenue, Edmonton.

Approval for the move was to be subject to an inspection of the property by Councillor Harvey Atkinson,

Earlier, the mayor expres- sed fears that a precedent might be set if the town allowed Willowbrook homes

to move in.

Morinville chips in fire aid to Sturgeon

Morinville formalised its intent to give the MD of Sturgeon interim fire pro- tection at its regualar council meeting last week (August 30).

Morinville Mayor Art Sta- ~

pleton said he thought Morinville was morally ob- liged to give Sturgeon the coverage after its fire agree- ment ran out with St. Albert last week.

But he emphasized that the agreement was only temporary and would have to be renegotiated at the end of the year.

The mayor felt that the agreement should go ahead, “even though I am no more in love with the MD than St. Albert.”

Referring to the chief of the Morinville fire depart-

ment, Mayor Stapleton said, “As far as the Morinville Fire Department is con- cerned, he thinks some kind of solution could be worked out.”*

Mayor Stapleton said that the town would honour fire calls from Sturgeon as long as they were not held responsible if the town did not get to a call on time.

“As mileage increases, our efficiency decreases,’ said the mayor.

Morinville is to look after a large strip inthe southern part of Sturgeon which extends to Calahoo in the west and Namao in the east. But it will also get back-up from the Defence base at Namao, and possibly Ed- monton as well.

Commenting on the ag-

reement, Mayor Stapleton said,‘ THis would only be short, possibly ending by the end of the year, and by this time the whole redistribution of fire protection would be gone over with the particular municipalities,"

According to Mayor Sta- pleton the new interim agreement will extend cov- erage five anda half miles further west than ‘‘we do now,”

Mayor Stapleton said there had been 18 fires in the protection area so far this year,‘but mostly of the grass fire type.**

A motion that fire pro- tection be given to Sturgeon subject to the preliminary agreement being drawn up was carried by council.

Opening of museum postponed

The Alberta Pioneer Rail- way Association has an- nounced that continued wet weather has forced the Association to postpone the opening of the APRA Park Railway Museum near Ed- monton, The Museum had been scheduled to open Labour Day weekend. Wet weather has resulted in

unstable soil conditions, which in turn has created unstable track in the Mu- seum’s railway yard. The Association hopes to com- plete permanent repairs to the affected area by next spring.

For the benefit of visitors who have not heard about the cancellation a limited exhibit

will be held.

The APRA Park Railway Museum is located beside Zaychuk Nurseries, and may be reached by following highway 15 for two miles beyond 137th Avenue. There, at the Oliver Road turn left, then immediately right, and follow this rural road for five miles to the Museum gate.

Villeneuve hangar

The Edmonton Flying Club recently called tenders for construction of a steel hangar at the Villeneuve satellite airport.

The hangar is the first phase of developments plan- ned by the club 19 miles north west of Edmonton's city center,

The club's initial tender is for the supply and erection of a metal prefabricated buil- ding, 180 feet by 60 feet. The building would be large enough to house 16 aircraft.

The club hopes to have the facility completed by late this year, but will not be using it for day to day training operations until there are two fully serviced runways at Villenueve next spring.

The club will conduct all its initial pilot training oper- ations at Villeneuve when

there are two operational runways.

Advanced training for li- censed pilots and ground school training for all pilot trainees, however will con- tinue to be provided at the club's facilities in Hangar 8, Edmonton Municipal Air- port,
