The skies got dark last Thursday as smoke from the northern Alberta wildfires drifted into the Lamont County area, and further south. On Friday, skies cleared here, but got darker in the Red Deer and Calgary areas.
Northern Alberta fires darken skies in Lamont County MAUREEN SULLIVAN At 11:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, May 30, the sky was a little darker than usual as the smoke from the wildfires up north shifted down to the central Alberta area.
High levels of pollution developed over the area on Tuesday, May 28, causing Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement for Lamont County, Strathcona County and Sturgeon County.
South-east entrance to Lamont, Thursday.
Hot and sunny conditions resulted in increasing ground level ozone concentrations. The very high risk air quality health index lasted for several hours but was lifted at 11:05 p.m.
The air quality advisory remained at moderate to high risk over the weekend, after which it is expected to clear somewhat depending on the wind.

Fire bans issued across Lamont County BY JOHN MATHER With wildfires raging across large swaths of northern Alberta, Lamont County joined many other jurisdictions in issuing a fire bans late last week. "We issued the ban May 31," said Lamont County Regional Fire Chief, David Zayonce. "No open fires or burning are allowed in campgrounds or in any area within the County. No exceptions will be made." In addition, all fire permits have been suspended until further notice and no new ones will be issued. All terrain vehicle use on public lands is also prohibited under the bans. It will be in effect for the foreseeable future until we have a substantial amount of rain," said Zayonce. "We haven't been overly busy in the dry weather, but we're erring on the side of caution." He said the Lamont County department has four individuals and one truck on standby to go and offer aid in fighting the northern fires if requested. "They have asked what we have available" he said. "But we haven't had a formal request." He said the larger centres with more personnel and equipment would be asked for assistance first. The request for assistance comes from the fire commissioners office, said Zayonce. In Bruderheim controlled fire burn pit fires are still allowed. Zayonce said the Lamont ban is only for the County, and the muncipalities in the county have their own polices in setting fire bans. The town of Lamont has issued a fire ban for its residents.
Are the hens coming home to roost? and monthly care involved, and what makes a backyard flock successful. "To be successful you must be passionate about keeping hens. Name your chickens. It will make you more involved in the care of them," said Dobler. Educating others about chickens is the key to being successful in getting a trial project going, stated Dobler. Three to six chickens which is the recommended size of coop for a town does not smell or make excessive noise, as
MAUREEN SULLIVAN A small group of dedicated chicken lovers met on May 27, to discuss creating a pilot project for raising hens in the town of Lamont. The Lamont Hen Project proposal meeting was hosted by Teagan Coro with guest speakers Samantha Dobler and Heather Price. Part of the Edmonton Hen Project, Dobler has been keeping urban hens for the last four years. She discussed with the group the pros and cons of keeping backyard hens, the daily, weekly

the project deals with hens and not roosters. Concern about predators is always at the top of everyones mind, said Dobler. "Guidelines on the building of coops and runs mitigate problems, and your yard must be also be fully enclosed by a six-foot fence," River City Chickens in Edmonton has a workshop for anyone interested in keeping backyard hens. A certificate of participation is acceptable proof of training when applying for a City of Edmonton urban hen license. It covers such things as coop designs and requirements, feeding and care, winter needs and concerns, breed selection and many other tips and resources. Anyone interested in chickens should take this course, states Dobler. The City of Edmonton reviewed best practices, communication plans, outcomes and mitigation
strategies when planning their urban hen project which has been successfully running since 2014. Presenting information about the success of the Edmonton project and similar projects in St. Albert and Red Deer about keeping urban hens is the key to getting the town on board for a trial project stated Price. She presented other key steps, such as having the answers to any objections council may have ready, when pitching the idea of a pilot project of keeping hens in Lamont. When asked why she considered starting this project, Coro replied that she wanted to create

Sharon Johnston, of Bruderheim, picks up garbage and litter from the park along the CN tracks during the community's annual Pitch In campaign on June 1. Dozens of volunteers turned out at the firehall to get outfitted with safety vests and bags and then scoured the town picking up litter. Johnston cleaned up the park area and then headed to the south of the tracks area to pick up litter. Afterwards hot dogs and beverages were served to the volunteers.

Opinion Of course Alberta businesses can work with the government The Alberta Chambers of Commerce sent a survey out recently regarding the state of Alberta’s economy. According to the survey, 86 percent of the public believe the Alberta business community has the skills, vision and drive to work with the provincial government to help Alberta grow. Can the government work with Alberta businesses, is always the real question. The answer from the former Notley NDP government was generally - no. They increased minimum wage, hurting businesses; and increased business tax 20 percent (from 10 to 12 percent of profits). Newly elected premier Jason Kenney has already helped businesses by dropping the tax 10 per cent for businesses, and lowering minimum wage $2 per hour. Kenny’s UCP government brings with it hope for small businesses because the problem with businesses working with any form of government is that government works in completely different realms of reality. For instance, when the minimum wage went up it didn’t effect government in any way except that average joe public was led to believe that it would lift people out of poverty and allow all to live better. The grim reality is that it did none of that. What it did do was cut the number of student jobs, minimum wage employees, and cut assigned work hours so that businesses could balance their budgets. The Provincial government doesn’t work within budgets. Not really. They have seemingly unlimited resources. Need more money, get more money. Tax this, tax that, tax on top of tax. If the “natives are getting restless” about taxes and re-election is on the horizon - just borrow. Run a negative budget. Borrow as part of your next budget and then tell taxpayers you balanced the budget - because you predicted a deficit and balanced to that same deficit. Government funds are also consistent. There are X number of workers and businesses, and therefore Y amount of revenue. Don’t pay - get audited. Got to jail. Oil prices dip, no problem just borrow. Former Premier Notley borrowed $30 billion in efforts not to cut services or government employees - those whose vote she counts on. In fact she hired more and more government employees even within a poor economy. Most businesses work within the world of having a limited supply of revenue based on location, supply and demand, and competition levels. Regardless of what business, it has limits and cash flow inconsistencies. When there is a lid to the money supply, expenses have to be carefully watched. Businesses can’t just go see a bank and tell them you want to run millions in deficit spending for your business (though they can try, and that might be kind of funny). Government keeps changing the rules to the game and Alberta businesses continue to figure out ways to work within those rules. My answer to the survey is - yes. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Former ministers running independent They’re running as … independents. That’s what former Liberal cabinet ministers Jody WilsonRaybould and Jane Philpott told the nation on Monday, May 27 during separate press conferences in their respective ridings. When their media releases were sent out on Friday, most political commentators believed they were joining Elizabeth May and the Green Party. (Last month, I predicted Wilson-Raybould would make this move.) It seemed to be the most natural shift for these two high-profile ex-Liberals. They’re both left-leaning, but have some realistic positions when it comes to private enterprise and building pipelines. The Greens have also experienced a political surge as of late. There are 15 provincial Green politicians, including
eight who form the official Opposition in Prince Edward Island. Meanwhile, Paul Manly just became the secondelected Green MP when he won a byelection in the B.C. riding of Nanaimo-Ladysmith. The only lingering doubt was the timing. Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) president Graham Fox suggested to me on Twitter, “Wouldn’t it have been better to announce on Sunday and be in Ottawa for the swearing in of the 2nd elected Green MP?” I agreed but replied that “maybe they wanted the spotlight to remain focused on Manly in Ottawa.” They could have jointly made their announcements on Monday and joined their new colleagues on Tuesday. This bubble was burst on Sunday evening, however, when CBC News’s Hannah
Thibedeau tweeted, “WilsonRaybould, Philpott won’t run as Greens in fall election.” The two MPs reportedly met with May on several occasions. She apparently offered to step down if one of them wanted to be party leader, although they both declined. Something had clearly held them back. Perhaps May’s comment to the Huffington Post’s Althia Raj on May 20 that she would back Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a minority government situation turned them off. Wilson-Raybould and Philpott obviously weren’t going back to the Liberals. They had both been mistreated, booted out of caucus during the SNC-Lavalin controversy, and they remained critical of Trudeau’s leadership. Continued on Page 6

FROM WHERE I SIT: It’s really easy
BY HAZEL ANAKA I watched all the holiday trailers out early for a head start at grabbing a spot at the lake or campground. It was the days leading up to the unofficial start of camping season, May long weekend. Of course, this wasn’t one of the finest, weather-wise but neither did it
Letter: Waiting for Trudeau to lose? Continued from Page 5 The Conservatives were an unlikely home, since they both disagreed with the party’s political direction. The NDP was a possibility, but they weren’t a natural fit on issues related to foreign policy and the environment. Shifting to a smaller political party made little sense. Hence, it became apparent the two independent MPs were going to run in this fall’s federal election as independents. Wilson-Raybould confirmed this decision in her Vancouver Granville riding and Philpott followed suit 30 minutes later in her
snow like some years. Each year this ritual spectacle causes a twinge of what… envy….no, not envy but a little ‘whatcould-have-been’ thinking. It’s funny. I can count on one hand the times we indulged in the lake life. A hundred years ago, my sister and I invested in a tent trailer. I still remember the clammy bedding and tight quarters. I also remember renting a cabin at the lake outside Bonnyville when the boys were in summer hockey camp. I remember a Father’s Day trip to another lake with friends. And before Lac Sante near Two Hills was privatized, a few moth-
ers and our kids went for the day. Our most serious attempt at a lake getaway was the maiden voyage of our ancient second-hand holiday trailer. Roy was in fine form because he’d spent hours the night before fighting the crumbling pot metal connectors for the tail and signal lights. The next day when it was road worthy we set out. We were going to meet friends at Long Lake. We’d made it about forty kilometres when he noticed a side panel of the trailer was flapping in the wind and we were shedding insulation in our wake. Words were exchanged.
Markham-Stouffville riding. It’s an enormous risk. Only about a third of MPs who left a political party to run as an independent have ever been re-elected. If they win, they won’t be able to afford a large staff. There will be no dedicated research money in their budgets. Speaking opportunities in Parliament will be severely limited. They’ll have little to no influence in our multi-party system. So why are they doing it? They’ll still have plenty of media focus, which is highly unusual for independents. They’ll make alliances with parties like the Greens but didn’t feel comfortable joining them. They acknowledged feeling stifled by our political
system and party discipline, so they may try to convince more Canadians to think, act and vote independently. Yet my sense is they’re simply biding their time in hopes of Trudeau losing in October and leaving federal politics. Wilson-Raybould and Philpott still believe in the Liberal Party but not the Liberal PM. The next party leader (as long as he/she isn’t a Trudeau loyalist) could be open to bringing them back in the fold. If so, this would enable them to go back from whence they came – and rebuild their political careers with their original party of choice. Is that the plan? Stay tuned. Michael Taube (Troy Media columnist and political commentator Michael Taube was a speechwriter for former prime minister Stephen Harper).
With whatever tools were on hand, he was able to secure the panel and turn back to Andrew. Always, the time spent with friends and family, eating and drinking in the great outdoors is the magical part. For those precious few hours, a person leaves their work and worries behind. So, I get the appeal. My imagination then magnifies it. I picture reading, roasting things over an open fire, playing cards or board games when it rains, communing with nature, making friends with the neighbouring campers, napping. But for us, the investment in a better trailer or motor
home or lake lot, never made the cut. We knew we’d never get our money’s worth. The farm is a shrill and demanding task master. If we truly wanted space, fresh air, the great outdoors, it’s as close as our back door. So, we never had a trailer but then again, we didn’t have the monthly payments either. Or the less glamourous cleaning, stocking, fuel costs, underused units so many people complain of. Similarly, I used to be so ticked off in high school when I spent days lying in the sun slathered in suntan oil trying to get a tan to rival that of my
friends. It was a burn in all the usual places or nothing at all. Of course, now we all know better but then it was a preoccupation for many of us. So, while I never had that effortless sun kissed tan, I never had melanoma either. These examples show that every aspect of our lives is a choice. We can happily make the best choice for ourselves or we can covet what our neighbours have and be miserable. Of course, deciding what’s best requires some personal insight, a reality check, and a cost-benefit analysis. Other than that, it’s really easy, from where I sit.

Video surveillance showed two masked people backing their vehicle into the front doors to gain entrance. “The police were here and we went through the security videos," said owner Ehab Mohamed, adding he was home asleep when contacted by police. "They (thieves) smashed the doors open with the back of their truck and stepped into the building” The thieves used empty vials kept at the pharmacy to fill with medications and threw them into the back of their truck. The entire robbery took approximately 10 minutes with physical damage to the shop limited to the front doors and counter. “They stole lots of mediations that I don’t think they will benefit from” Mohamed said “Like antibiotics. I’m not sure what they will do with them. Maybe they figured they will steal everything and look at it later. They stole 600 amoxicillin (penicillin) capsules. They tried to open the till but they couldn’t” Mohamed added that the Bruderheim Pharmacy keeps very minimal opioids in stock, citing these prescriptions are filled by special order and are picked up nearly as soon as they are delivered. Although the pharmacy was still doing medication counts and getting information to their insurance company, they operated business as usual the day of the robbery, filling prescriptions with what remained of their stock. The owner added the thieves not only covered their faces, but also covered their hands making it difficult to identify by way of security footage.
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP arrived approximately 30 minutes after the alarms sounded. He insisted this robbery will not discourage him from keeping his business in Bruderheim, although he is looking at further security options for his shop including metal poles by the front door and possibly security shutters for the windows. “We were planning a barbeque to celebrate our second year in business here for June 29. That may have to be postponed a little while,” he said. Mohamed took to
facebook to thank the commuity for its generous outpouring of support. "Hey everyone, as you all might know Bruderheim Pharmacy was broken into last night," he said. "I am really thankful for all the prayers and the support you have shown me today. As bad and challenging this day was, it went way easier than I thought it would be, with me seeing everyone in this outstanding small community standing by me." He went on to state the pharmacy hours wouldn't be affected.
Bruderheim Pharmacy will be taking greater security measures after the Friday break-in.

Northern Lights System provides Bruderheim Library a bigger bang for its buck BY JOHN MATHER Bruderheim council got its eyes opened May 15, when representatives from the Northern Lights Library System gave a detailed breakdown on what the system does and just how much it benefits Bruderheim residents and the town’s library. Larry Tiedemann, chair of the Northern Lights systems and Julie Walker the executive director of the system both addressed council. Tiedemann said that between the Bruderheim Library and the town levy payment, both that contribute $5.07 per head from the town, the system had received a total of $14,145.30 in payments. Tiedemann then broke down what the town received for its payments. A site visit to the Metro Kalyn Community Library cost the system $456.55.
“Northern Lights is a partner with three other systems,” explained Tiedemann. “This gives us access to more than three million books.” The system called Tracpac is shared with a system called Polaris. “Within that there are 118 libraries and the Polaris licence costs $950,” said Walker. “If you were an individual library trying to access this system the fee would be much more.” The other Trac services offered include access to ebooks, a cloud library platform and other services, which totaled about $6,700. Walker then explained the van delivery services that handles inter-library loans, and supplies new materials to the library. The delivery services costs about $7,800 annually but keeps the Bruderheim library connected to the Northern Lights offices and libraries throughout the
province. Local patrons can access research materials, books, games and promotional materials and they all get delivered through the delivery vans. Through the Northern Lights Bibliographic Services unit, the Bruderheim library can purchase new books through a bulk purchase program, which offers discounts of up to 40 per cent. “Part of the levy goes back to the library in the form of a book allotment,” said Walker. “In effect it means the levy is providing books for your library. “ She said it also allowed for acquisitions of other materials and provided a service to maintain the books in good shape. The Northern Lights System also offers up inperson video conferencing, telephone consultations, and training to member libraries by professional librarians.

“We offer assistance in programs and provide supplemental programming kits,” said Walker. “Our public access services also allow access to all our data bases.” She went on to explain there was excellent IT and Network support helping with troubleshooting the computer systems. In addition upgrades were provided, there were file sharing services and a centralized back up system. Councillor Wayne Olechow asked if a list of the materials and services provided by Northern Lights could be provided and Walker said that could be done and added if there was a program the local library couldn’t afford, then it could probably be accessed through the Northern Lights System. “That would be great,” said Olechow. “We’re working on trying some new adult programs and to know it’s already
available, or been tried through Northern Lights is fantastic.” Walker said the system offered travel films, health and lifestyle packages and many other services that would benefit adult library users. “We’ve also got a package which can be used by young people to learn how to make computer code,” said Walker. “And we have a Virtual Reality package which costs thousands. This allows your local library to access it without having to pay the purchase price, which can run upwards of $20,000.” Councillor Patrick Crawford asked if the system had access to 3-D printers. Tiedemann said they did, and the local library could simply access it and all they had to pay was the material costs. “It’s a great way to try things out without the upfront start up costs,” said Tiedemann.
In total added Walker the Bruderheim library received a value of about $44,655.50 in library services for their $14,145 levy costs. Tiedemann went on to point out the system, through its network sharing, allowed the library patrons to get materials and services that would cost much more individually. Mayor Karl Hauch told the delegation he was very impressed with their presentation. “I think this is the best sharing of information we’ve had at a council meeting,” he said. “To know all these things that we didn’t know before – thank you very much.” Tiedemann added he was a Tofield councillor and he knew it was important for councils to know where the money was being spent and what it was being used for.

Banner year for Chipman Show and Shine
BY JOHN MATHER It was another good year for the Chipman Car Crafters as they hosted the 19th annual show and shine on the streets of Chipman on June 2. “We've got to the point where I don't think we can put any more cars in the town," said Lionel Thomas, secretary of the Chipman Car Crafters. "We filled up very early. We had more than 300 vehicles on display." He estimates about 2,000 to 2,500 visitors paid a $2 admission to view the cars. "We had cars from all over," Thomas said. "We had one from Wandering River. We have had them from Fort MacMurray and Lloydminster." He added the bulk of the entrants come from Edmonton. "The Mainstreet Cruisers are a big supporter of this event," Thomas stated. "They generally bring about 25 to 30 vehicles to the show." Others brought vehicles from Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan Ardrossan, Spruce Grove and St. Albert plus there were vehicles from Bruderheim, Mundare Tofield and Lamont. There were cars, limousines, hearses, a variety of pick up trucks and even a couple of riding lawnmowers from the chipman 4-H club on display. Rob Dallman, born
and raised in Lamont, brought a beautiful 1956 Chev that had belonged to his father. "I've owned this for two years since my dad passed, but he had owned it for 43 years." The car had been through one restoration. "I try to get it to a few car shows when I have time," said Dallman. "This is the first show I've had it to this year, but I'm hoping to get into a couple more." He adds it's nice to go around and talk to the other exhibitors and exchange tips on how to do repairs and ideas on paint schemes and things. "This is a really good show and people are always coming up to talk about my cars." Barry Hezlar lives on an acreage outside of Lamont and proudly sat with his 1965 Corvette. "This is an excellent show," he said. "It's got to be one of the best in Alberta." He said he had a few classic cars sitting at home but refused to get into specifics. He said he'd owned the mostly original Corvette for a few years. "Usually I bring other cars to the show and shine, but it was the Corvette's turn today." Thomas stated the swap meet the day before the car show was a huge success. "It was our second
year and it was probably twice as big as the first swap meet a year ago." With the 20th anniversary coming up next year Thomas said there are no plans to have the Show and Shine held together with the swap meet. "We've discussed that but there are several reasons we won't join the two," he said. "The biggest reason is we don't want people with sheet metal wandering between the cars." He added people may buy a fender or other car parts at the swap meet and show organizers don't want to run the risk of people scratching finishes on the expensive vehicles if they were allowed to walk near them with swap meet purchases. On display at the June 2 show were a Marmon, Packard, an Australian Holden and a 1953 Corvette – the first year the GM sports car was produced.. "That Corvette to me looked to be pretty much stock so it is a very rare car," said Thomas He added the best in show went to a 1933 Ford Coupe while a 1935 Ford Custom was the winner of the People's Choice Award. In total 42 trophies were handed out for first, second and third places in a variety of categories.
Lamont area resident Barry Hezlar sits behind his 1965 Corvette displayed at the Chipman Car Crafters car show June 2. Owners proudly sat with their car and discussed the merits of each vehicle with anyone who stopped by.
This Dodge Charger sported highly detailed airbrush work in its engine bay.

Mundare won’t follow up on train whistle cessation - few complaints don’t warrant costs of study necessary BY JOHN MATHER Mundare won’t be following up any more on working with CN to consider whistle cessation in the community. Town council had received a letter from a resident last year asking if the town could get the trains to stop blowing their whistles as they came through the community. Mundare Chief Administration Officer Colin Zyla told council he had been touch with CN officials and they had said a study would have to be undertaken at the town’s cost to look into what safety measures would have to be undertaken to allow whistle cessation. “Whistling at road crossings is part of their safety protocol,” he said. “If the town can’t afford the study then it could be appealed to Transport Canada.”
He said when the community had been asked what they felt on the issue three letters had been received - two in favour of cessation and one against whistle cessation.” He said the two safety systems which would have to be looked at to achieve whistle cessation would be flashing lights and bells or flashing lights, bells and gates. In the town’s case, the safety system with gates would be unnecessary at Highway 855, but at the town crossing he wasn’t so sure because there were two sets of tracks – even though one is pretty much inactive. The three options council had, said Zyla, were to cancel looking in to whistle cessation, spend money on a study, which he didn’t recommend or appeal to Transport Canada for a
decision. Mayor Mike Saric said if there weren’t many people complaining about it, and facing a tight budget, was it worth moving forward? Councillor Jason Kowal said with only three people responding to the town’s question, he felt it would be all right to discontinue the process until more people came forward. “We really can’t justify it right now,” concluded Saric. Council passed a motion that no further action be taken in regard to the whistle cessation. “We’re not going to continue with the process,” said Colin Zyla. “We’ll be sending a letter to the person who had asked for us to look into the matter.” Councillor Jaime Burghardt said the town needed to get some material on the town’s

Canada Day activities to promote on the Vegreville radio station. She said it was part of the new Vegreville regional tourism group’s initiative to promote Canada Day activities around the area. Zyla said he would make sure the appropriate materials were sent. Mundare council made some change to the local library during the May 21 regular council meeting. Donna Clarke had resigned her position as the chair of the Mundare library board and thus also stepped down as the town representative on the Northern Light Library system. Lillian Sabo was named the new chair of the library board locally and appointed at the new town representative to Northern Lights.

Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall. Living here without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, Your heart was kind and true. And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. The special years will not return, When we were all together. But with the love in our hearts, You walk with us forever.
So many things have happened, In the 18 years you were called away. So many things to share with you, Had you been left to stay. Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way. Though absent, you are always near, Still so missed, loved, and always dear.

Mundare cadets travel to Europe for D-Day remembrance BY JOHN MATHER The 341 Mundare Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron will join five other cadet units from across Canada to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, June 6. Four of the cadets will join in a march in remembrance of the youth who were killed in the Second World War. Sheryl Jamison, the chaperone of the group and sponsoring committee chair, said having the kids commemorate such a historic event is important. "We did have kids who
were 14. 15 and and 16 enlisting and standing up to their knees in mud in the trenches and fighting for our freedom," she said. "We have to pay back and we have to know for sure that we're not ever going to do it again." "I've always wanted to go to Europe,"said Sgt. Kierstyn Buck, of the squadron's hornet flight. "I've always wanted to participate in ceremonies and now I can do this with cadets." She will march for the fallen youth. During their 11-day trip the cadets hope to gain a little of knowl-
edge about Canada and its history. They have spent several days in England before heading to France for the June 6 ceremony. Five days prior to leaving on the trip, the cadets marched through downtown Mundare as part of their annual Ceremonial Review.
Workers spread concrete as it’s pumped from a truck at the under construction Bruderheim skateboard park on June 1. Crews are working seven days a week to pour concrete while the weather is good. The park is the first component of the town's community park and is scheduled to be open later this year.

Bison Festival held at EINP
MAUREEN SULLIVAN Celebrating the bison success story with games, speakers, and indigenous dancers on June 1, Elk Island National Park (EINP) paid homage to the conservation story of the park. While bison once roamed the continent of North America in the tens of millions there were less than a thousand individuals scattered in isolated herds by the nineteenth century. The Canadian government took an active role in purchasing bison and founded multiple conservation herds in national parks.
One herd, purchased from Montana, was brought to Elk Island National Park in the early 1900. Today, nearly every plains bison you see in southern Canada, whether in conservation or domestic herds, had an ancestor in Elk Island National Park. Starting the day off was the launch of the book "Through the Storm Canada's Bison Conservation Story" at the Visitor Information Centre. Anyone interested in seeing the bison could travel the Bison Loop or visit the Barn for Bison backstage, a look at how the bison are cared for at
EINP. Festivities continued at the Astotin Recreation Area with voyager canoe rides, learning to jig and Frog Lake First nation dancing. At the Astotin Theatre there were two speakers, Jennifer Brower, author of Lost Tracks: Buffalo National Park, 19091939, covering the “Past” and Pinette Robinson, Conservation and Restoration Project Manager with Parks Canada, covering the “Present," speaking about the bison conservation journey through the years .
MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Chipman 4-H Beef and Multi Club is celebrating it's 75 year and the Achievement Weekend and Show and Sale on May 31 was a big event too.

"I have a love of sheep and was happy to provide a couple of the lambs to the project." In the steer show the members got a chance to show their stuff by handling the steers they raised this year, averaging in weight between 1,000 to 1,300 pounds. In
the senior showmanship and grooming the two members were asked to switch steers to show how well they could show an unknown animal.
