with David Gray
& Angela Knight

On today's podcast:

2. We'll speak to the owner of the controversial Guzoo about allegations that someone poisoned two wolves on his property.

3. Memories of "dollar-49-day" and working with good friends. We'll hear from former employees of the Woodward's Department store who've gathered for a reunion.

 

There is trouble again at the controversial GuZoo Animal Farm.
Two wolves were found dead on Tuesday at the roadside zoo near Three Hills, AB.

Alberta's top vet confirmed that an investigation is underway in to allegations of poisoning.

Lynn Gustafson owns GuZoo. He's been fighting with activists and government officials who tried to force him to temporarily close the zoo. Last June, provincial officers cited GuZoo for substandard operations.

He has been allowed to keep the zoo open under certain conditions.
Lynn Gustafson spoke with Eyeopener host David Gray.

The town of High River finally has its museum back.

Two years ago a fire all but destroyed the historic museum which was originally a CP train station.

But now, after two years of hard work and hundreds of volunteer hours, the museum has been completely restored and is ready to re-open.

Irene Kerr gave the Eyeopener a preview of the Museum's restoration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you remember Woodwards department stores and $1.49 day then we know something about how old you are. Woodwards operated for a hundred years in B.C. and Alberta before going out of business in 1993.
Woodward's employees say they were part of a big family, that worked, socialized and volunteered together. They still occasionally get together. 
Almost 20 years after the last $1.49 day they spoke to the CBC about old times.
