Fairgrounds, Historical Society dispute heats up
A dispute over the Pioneer Village at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds looks like it is headed to court.
Talks broke down Tuesday morning between the North Dakota State Fair Board, which wants the Pioneer Village moved off the fairgrounds, and the Ward County Historical Society, which wants to leave the museum where it's at.
"We have no plans to put forth to move because it is simply impossible both logistically and financially to do so," Glynn Breuer, president of the Ward County Historical Society, told the Fair Board.
Herbert Meschke, the historical society's lawyer, said he has advised his clients that they are under no obligation to move under the terms of a 1966 contract, which states that "the North Dakota State Fair Association will allow the Northwest North Dakota Historical Society to maintain and operate its building located on the fairgrounds."
State Fair Board member Neil Fleming said there seemed no reason for further discussion "if their bottom line position is 'we're not moving' and ours is 'we want them out.' "
The State Fair Board's master plan includes a plan to eventually build a large convention center on the fairgrounds in the location where the exposition and dairy barns, Jaycees Building and 4H Building are currently situated. The fair board also wants to relocate the road that currently runs by the Pioneer Village Museum on the fairgrounds, which would require moving the museum off the fairgrounds, The Fair Board had set a September deadline for the historical society to come up with a relocation plan.
Meschke, a retired state supreme court justice, told the State Fair Board that there is some ambiguity in whether the word "building" refers to one or several buildings. However, he said case law generally favors the precedent that has been set up until the time of any disagreement over a contract and the historical society has operated its historical buildings on the fairgrounds for 47 years. Fleming and other fair board members dispute that interpretation of the contract.
Fleming, from Cavalier, said that the museum grounds are in poor condition compared with the buildings on the rest of the fairgrounds and also complained that historical society members have not asked permission to move buildings onto the fairgrounds.
Bernice Galusha, a historical society member, said she was on the historical society board in past years as well and it is not true that the historical society failed to ask permission to move buildings onto the grounds.
"We did have approval to bring in other buildings," said Galusha. "…Maybe it was a handshake (agreement). I don't know. But we did get approval." Two decades ago, she said one-time board member Harold Porter, who was a prominent Minot businessman, spoke with the Fair Board and got their agreement to allow the Pioneer Village to continue operating on the fairgrounds. She said many agreements were done with a handshake.
The State Fair Board is also still refusing permission for the historical society to move a building that was once the first country school in the county onto the fairgrounds. The country school was once the Graham No. 1 School in St. Mary's School District, located six miles east of Foxholm. John Sandstrom bought the school house when it closed in 1960 and moved it to his farm in Lonetree, where he restored the building and its contents. John Sandstrom's son, the late Robert Sandstrom, gave the school house to the museum to replace a school building at the museum that was destroyed in the Souris River flood of 2011. Plans had been made to move that school to the fairgrounds last December, but they were stalled when the Fair Board objected to the proposal.
On Tuesday, Breuer said that the historical society has agreed in writing to pay for the cost of removing the little red school house from the fairgrounds if it is legally required to relocate the museum. Breuer said the historical society does not have the money to pay to relocate all of the buildings at the museum.
Pete Hankla, the Fair Board's attorney, asked why the board would allow the red school house to be moved to the fairgrounds under those circumstances. Fleming suggested to Meschke that allowing the school house to be moved onto the fairgrounds might add strength to the historical society's position that there is a precedent for allowing the historical society to continue operating its buildings on the fairgrounds.
Historical society members said they would like to develop a good, working relationship with the State Fair Board and believe that the museum could be an asset to the North Dakota State Fair. Historical society member Bruce Brooks said that all but two of the buildings on the museum grounds are now in pristine condition. The museum will be open for people to look at during the fair, he said. Galusha acknowledged that past historical society members might not have maintained the museum buildings to a high standard in recent years. The historical society lost members who died or moved away or burned out on running the museum with such few numbers, she said. The museum grounds were heavily damaged in the flood of 2011. However, Galusha said the current historical society is committed to making the museum a real asset once again. She asked the Fair Board to give the historical society a chance to work with them. Breuer also asked the State Fair Board to reconsider its position.
Brooks said the historical society has collected nearly 1,000 signatures from people in support of leaving the museum on the fairgrounds and there have also been letters to the editor advocating that position. Fleming appeared skeptical that the petitions are representative of majority opinion.
"Lawsuits have a way of leaving scars and they're expensive," Meschke told the Fair Board. He said the State Fair Board clearly has greater resources than the Ward County Historical Society but the historical society is prepared to take the matter to court if need be.
Both sides remained entrenched in their positions at the end of the meeting and it looked likely that the dispute might have to be settled in court.

Pleas & Sentences
A man accused of stealing items from two area churches in March 2012 was sentenced Tuesday in Chautauqua County Court to serve two to four years in prison.
John A. Bish, 47, was charged with two counts of third-degree burglary, one count of fourth-degree grand larceny and one count of petit larceny for his involvement in the burglaries at the Greek Orthodox Church on Francis Street and the Bethel Lutheran Church on West Third Street in Jamestown on March 4, 2012. He was convicted of two counts of third-degree burglary.
Bish entered the Bethel Lutheran Church during Sunday morning services and took a laptop computer and a digital camera. He was also believed to have taken a wallet from a parishioner's purse at the Greek Orthodox Church later that day.
Investigators were able to identify Bish after receiving multiple calls and tips from citizens and other law enforcement officials from Erie County who had recognized Bish from surveillance footage in the media.

By STEVE BOUSQUET, Times Staff Writer
Between answering questions on insurance and property taxes, the pair pepper each other with accusations of liberalism and ethical slips.
TAMPA — In the first statewide TV debate in the race for governor, Tom Gallagher tried to revive his candidacy
Tuesday night by repeatedly criticizing front-runner Charlie Crist as a "liberal" who won't tell voters the truth.
Gallagher, 62, who trails Crist in polls, endorsements and money, was clearly the aggressor in the Republican debate, broadcast live on Florida public TV stations and to a nationwide C-SPAN audience.
The chief financial officer warned viewers at the outset that Crist, 50, would take Florida down a "liberal risky path" of higher taxes, amnesty for illegal immigrants and same-sex civil unions. Gallagher also linked Crist to Howard Dean on gay rights and to John Kerry on abortion.
"The stakes could not be higher," Gallagher said as the hourlong debate drew to a close. "Floridians stand to lose their conservative voice in this election."
Crist seemed unflappable in the face of Gallagher's withering criticism that he was ducking questions or trying to be all things to all people.
"I think it's pretty obvious why he's doing it," Crist said. "Polling is not good. We're coming in to the end of the election. This is the fourth time he's run for governor. So here we are."
With two weeks left before the Sept. 5 primary, Gallagher's go-for-broke strategy on TV reflects his belief that the choice between himself and the attorney general is for "the soul of the Republican Party."
Gallagher has staked his claim as the only true conservative in the race, while Crist has taken more moderate positions on such issues as class size reduction and gay civil unions.
But Gallagher was more aggressive than he has been at any point in the campaign. His criticism of Crist was tougher than any of his TV ads in recent weeks.
On taxes, Gallagher essentially called Crist a liar by claiming he has never supported a tax, when he did support a tax on sugar growers and rental cars."He keeps telling you something that just isn't true," Gallagher said.
Crist has called both "fees" and has said the sugar tax would not be paid by consumers and the rental car tax could only be levied if voters said yes in a referendum.
On the issue of skyrocketing local property taxes, Gallagher said he would "attack spending" by cities and counties.
Crist said he supported a doubling of the homestead exemption to $50,000, subject to voter approval.
When Crist said he favored allowing homeowners to transport the Save Our Homes tax break to a new home, Gallagher said: "There's another typical Charlie answer. Everything to everybody."Gallagher shook his head in dismay, noting that a penny for prison construction that Gallagher once supported also included a requirement that it be approved by voters.
Crist fired back at Gallagher for downplaying the importance of a recent probable cause finding by the Commission on Ethics that Gallagher might have broken state law by owning stocks in companies regulated by his agency.
Holding up a copy of the ethics panel's written order, Crist said: "For him not to admit that tonight is unbelievable. You can trust Charlie Crist."
A spokesman for Gallagher, Albert Martinez, later complained that Crist violated the debate ground rules by bringing a "prop" into the studio.
On abortion, Crist declared himself "pro-life," but added: "It's also important to respect the views of others."
Gallagher supports overturning the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in 1973.
Crist says he opposes abortion but does not support repeal.
"You didn't answer the question again," Gallagher told Crist. "You gave a pro-choice answer. That's why I say you're pro-choice."
On the subject of a proposed Constitutional ban on gay marriages, Gallagher accused Crist of flip-flopping on the issue by first saying a ban wasn't needed and then signing a petition in support.
Crist, who also has said he does not oppose gay civil unions, said: "I guess I have a little bit more of a live-and-let-live attitude than my opponent does."
The Republicans clashed over the costly voter-approved class-size amendment, with Gallagher saying he would "take it out" of the Constitution and Crist saying : "The time has come to move on."
The debate format allowed the candidates to ask each other questions, and again Gallagher was more aggressive than Crist.
Gallagher took aim at Crist's support for gay civil unions — which are legal in Vermont — and asked Crist why "Florida's values should be the same as Howard Dean's."
Crist countered that his position was the same as President Bush's, and "I think that's a good place to be," he said.
Gallagher once again accused Crist of mangling the record — that the president has said the question of gay civil unions should be decided by states.
Crist asked Gallagher why he opposed a doubling of the homestead exemption. Gallagher said Crist's plan would help "a few" and would merely shift the tax burden to renters and business owners.
One of the few times the two combatants agreed was on the issue of whether gays should be allowed to adopt children.
Asked why gay foster parents should not be allowed to legally adopt the children in their care, Gallagher said he favored those children being in "a normal home," which he defined as "a man and a woman in a marriage."
Crist said he agreed: "The traditional family is the place to raise children."
The debate, from the studios of WEDU-Channel 3 in Tampa, came a week after the Republican race took on more hostile tone. Gallagher fired first with an ad that charged Crist had a "liberal spending plan to raise state spending by billions."
Crist fired back with an ad that was already produced, in which he criticized Gallagher for a 1994 TV ad that sought to link Gov. Jeb Bush to Fidel Castro.
In their closing statements, each candidate returned to his basic strategy. Gallagher again portrayed Crist as a liberal, and Crist stuck to his basic theme of less government.
"This race is between three liberals and one conservative — between three lawyers and one businessman," Gallagher said, singling himself out.
Crist concluded, "I think it's important that we have less taxing, less spending, less government and more freedom."
Tonight, the leading Democratic candidates, U.S. Rep. Jim Davis and state Sen. Rod Smith, will debate in the same Tampa TV studio with a different group of questioners. Crist and Gallagher will debate for the second and final time at 8 p.m. Monday.
That debate will be broadcast on Florida's NBC stations.

Assignment: Education - Giving Back
The La Farge School District Pays-It-Forward
LA FARGE, Wis. -- The La Farge Volunteer Fire Department is made up of 30 volunteers and it is run on a tight budget, according to volunteer fire chief Philip Stittleburg.
"This engine over here is actually a loaner," said Stittleburg.
That's because one of La Farge's fire engines was taken out of service because it was getting too expensive to maintain.
"Viroqua brought their engine down and put it in my station and said keep it as long as you need it," said Stittleburg.
This type of cooperation and support from a nearby community was a big gesture at a time when the La Farge Volunteer Fire Department didn't have money to buy a new engine.
But these students are learning that even small gestures can make a big impact when budgets are tight.
At an all school assembly, every grade-level in the La Farge School District was given $100 by the La Farge Lions Club to donate to the organization of their choice as part of the Club's "Giving Back" program.
"We didn't give them any ideas and they really came up with an amazing variety of projects and programs that they donated the money to," said Brad Steinmetz, La Farge Lions Club member.
Both the 9th and 11th grade classes chose the community's volunteer fire department as the recipient of their donation.11804476
"We all sat around as a class and decided which ones were most important to us because a lot of the firemen are parents to a lot of our friends," said freshman Olivia Herken.
"I was very privileged by that," said Stittleburg.
A response many of these students didn't expect until they saw the donation recipients at this assembly.
"It was really touching, I guess," said junior Megan Dittmer. "I didn't notice it would be that big of a deal until today."
And it's this realization the La Farge Lions wanted to achieve.
"We're hoping they realized that they can make a difference," said Steinmetz. "That they can connect with people and programs and projects that have some needs."
"It's taught me that you really need to give back to the people who help a lot of people in the community so that they get rewarded for the hard work that they do," said Dittmer.
Thanks to these students, the reward for the La Farge Fire Department will come in the form of new equipment for their new fire truck which will arrive this Fall.
"We'll be buying things like nozzles. We'll be buying things like hose, ladders things of that nature that we have to get to equip the truck once the truck comes in the door," said Stittleburg.
And whether you're volunteering your time or donating you r money, the La Farge Fire Chief says he's grateful for the contributions of the students and the Lions.
"Volunteerism is the life-blood in communities such as ours, in whatever form, whether it's service on a village board, a school board, the fire department or the ambulance squad," said Stittleburg. "I think we all owe service back to the community that supports us."

Mike Pouncey Thinks He's a Cowboy
Former Lakeland High School and Florida Gator guard/center Mike Pouncey said on his twitter page that he thinks he's going to be drafted by Dallas. Pouncey visited Dallas recently and had a great visit. Here's the story. I'm not sure if that is true; if he really believes that or is just having fun. Dallas would be a good spot for him. So would the Bucs, although offensive lineman is probably third on the team's need list. Stay tuned.

I am unsure how your own definition of arrogance does not apply to yourself. Implying that people who disagree with you are ...
Quite frankly, more often than not that's just an attempt to "disallow" any disagreement by simply relabeling the substance presented, to mere "disagreement". It's a pretty transparent slight of mind trick that only works on those who very much want it to, and who have a sufficient capacity for self-deception to pull it off (i.e. those who can pull off a significant degree of actual, rather than rhetorical, faith). The substance presented is all still there, but the apologist has replaced all the substance with "disagreement" (ideally at least—when, on and for whom it actually works). Church-going believers tend to be well conditioned to accept such sleights of mind in favor of their franchise's approved religious notions. It's almost a guarantee most of them will experience multiple instances from the pulpit on a weekly basis.
The original post in this topic definitively shows a fulfillment of the prophecy :
Luke 2:34 (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother : Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
I am thankful that Jesus Christ has included me in the resurrection of His Saints.
Nice sarcasm I think.
Unless one holds that the science of Theology proves the existence of God, it will more than likely seem that way. Come to think of it, I'm glad He included me in the fall, too.
I'm Christian but I wouldn't call myself arrogant. But for the ones that are it's because of the tremendous claims made in the Bible, the words of Christ; 'I'm the Alpha and Omega', etc. You claim to be a follower of such tremendous claims and you don't know how to handle yourself and you'll become arrogant.

eat it every day
Posted by 5034971234259523209 on Aug 09, 2013
I eat this every day. It tastes wonderful, rich and dark and very spicy. I know that some reviewers knock this chyawanprash because it has some preservative in it, but the organic one I tried just didn't have the punch that this does. If I am still craving food after a meal, I eat a spoon of this and I am done, craving ended. Health benefits? I can't say specifically as I am taking a wide range of supplements, but I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff and it feels right to me, so I am going to go on eating it!
Too much spicy
Posted by Reviewer1403332 on Apr 22, 2013
It's too much spicy for me :( I bought also chyawanprash from Himalaya Herbal Healthcare (also from iHerb), that taste was much better!
Great taste,although i can't really feel the health benefits...
Posted by PracticalReviews on Oct 26, 2013
this product tastes very good,slightly hot and sweet,maybe too sweet for a good Chyawanprash,i can't really tell if there is health benefits to its daily consumption and as far as i understand its far better to get the freshly made one and not one of the common industrials,but still,if considering this as a health food and not as a medicine its great,although a bit expensive for this purpose ...you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews
Tasty nature
Posted by Reviewer1733570 on Mar 15, 2013
I can't say anything about the health benefits, I like to taste this from time to time after a meal, it's a paste with powerful gingery taste along plentiful other spices, sweet and sour, better than candy.
very good
Posted by Reviewer1880269 on Mar 29, 2015
The taste is wonderful and I take this product to accelerate healing when I have a cold or stuff. I gave it to my husband and son and they both felt better much faster.
Very good
Posted by 4669693988845461808 on Dec 25, 2016
It tastes sweet and spicy, very good for health, energizing. The only downside is a preservative in it.
Great Stuff!
Posted by Reviewer2910546 on Apr 22, 2015

Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Stéphan Tremblay Lac-Saint-Jean, QC
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to address Bill C-60, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act. At first blush, the bill seems pretty innocuous. I looked at it with the hon. member for Frontenac.
However, a closer examination shows what the Liberal Party wants to do. This is rather disheartening. The government comes up with nice bills, but it always wants to able to appoint friends. Because the government wants to remain in office, it does not necessarily appoint competent people. Not to worry. It does not matter whether these appointees are competent or not. What matters for the government is looking after its friends.
Earlier, the hon. member for Frontenac proposed constructive amendments. My colleague sat on the committee. He made constructive suggestions, and I am anxious to see whether the government will have the courage to accept and support these positive changes.
Why do I say this? It is because, while I am still naive, I do notice certain things when I look at the current political reality. We are the official opposition and people often say that the opposition is only there to block government initiatives. This is not at all the Bloc Quebecois' vision, particularly since we are not even here to try to form the government.
Rather, we are here to defend the views of part of the public. I was elected to represent the Lac-Saint-Jean region. Therefore, I come here with certain views and I say to the government: "Listen, your bill may not be so bad, but we propose this changeor that change". But to no avail. I am quite convinced that, when the time comes to vote, the government will turn a deaf ear.
It should come as no surprise that people are no longer interested in politics. It is always the same thing. It is always these little schemes to promote patronage. Of course, this is done quietly. It does not make the headlines. It is always done in an under handed way. This is all very disappointing. Even though we are the opposition-I would rather say the watchdog of democracy-we should be able to work together at least some of the time, so that everyone can make a positive contribution.
This reminds me of the bill we talked about recently, which would have revoked the conviction of Louis Riel. Why did the government vote against the bill? This is ridiculous. When the opposition says black, the government says white.
But that is not what it usually says. Usually, it says: "The opposition is just there to disagree". I am sorry, but we do try to suggest some constructive changes. We try to raise some interesting points. But all we get is a completely negative reaction to any contribution we are prepared to make. I must say I find this very disappointing. I look forward to the time when we have our own country, so we can go our own way.
I will give a few examples from the bill. In clause 9, it says that the head office of the agency shall be in the national capital region or any other location in Canada. That is good. However, according to certain officials, the head office of the agency could be in Ottawa at first and then be moved later on by order in council. Basically, the question that comes to mind is whether the agency could go where it would be politically expedient. If things are not going well in a riding, this would be a good thing to have, so the government hands out a goody. That is what I dislike about the Liberal Party and the government.
In clause 10, it says that the minister responsible for the agency shall appoint an advisory board of not more than 12 members to hold office during pleasure for a term not exceeding three years. The minister would also appoint one of the members as chairperson of the advisory board instead of letting people qualified in this area who have to work with the food inspection people choose their own representatives.
So the minister is making sure he can control the members of the advisory board and influence their decisions. That is pretty obvious. When you give a job to your friends, they can hardly turn around later on and bite the hand that feeds them.
In subclause 10(5), it says that the minister will fix the fees paid to the members of the advisory board. However, I may point out that in clause 8, it says that the president and the executive vice-president shall be paid such remuneration as is fixed by the governor in council. The question is whether this is a mere technicality or whether it is some kind of double standard that could lead to discrimination. This clause is unacceptable for another reason.
Clause 12 provides that the agency is a separate employer under the Public Service Staff Relations Act. Clause 13 provides that the president has the authority to appoint employees to the agency. When the bill was studied in committee, officials confirmed that there would be a code of conduct, of ethics, governing the appointment of agency employees. The thing is, however, that we will not know the content of the code before the bill is passed. It reminds me of the code of ethics of the ministers opposite: they have a fine code of ethics to show that everything they do is proper, except no one knows what the code is. It is completely ridiculous. What is the use of a code of ethics when people cannot even find out what it is about? Here again, it serves to score political points.
The officials told us that the usual rules governing hiring in the public service would be suspended during the transition period. Why do we not know what rules will be used?
We note therefore that patronage-discrimination even-will abound in the future Canadian Food Inspection Agency. This is why the Bloc Quebecois has proposed reasonable amendments to prevent the federal government from abusing its power in this matter.
As I said earlier, we simply want to make a constructive contribution. I do not want to foul things up. So long as we are paying taxes to Ottawa, I want to be sure this country is run the best way possible. I am here to work, to improve bills while we are still here. I see these sorts of things, and then people ask me why we want to have our own country.
At some point, people have to try to understand more. As I said earlier, we wonder why people are not more interested in politics. I think it is because of this sort of thing.
Our colleague from Frontenac has contributed constructively. I would therefore invite the government to give it some thought, and perhaps we could work more together.

The Late Martha Macdonald
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Colleen Beaumier Brampton, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week a very active and giving member of my riding of Brampton was tragically murdered.
Martha MacDonald was a caregiver with Brampton Caledon Community Living, an organization that offers support to mentally and physically disadvantaged people living on their own. She was a regular volunteer at the Ste. Louise Outreach Centre, a local food bank, and an active political participant. Her enthusiasm and passion will be missed.
On behalf of my constituents I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Martha MacDonald.
In early November, Martha participated in a public forum on justice issues which I hosted in my riding of Brampton. She was quite vocal at this community event about the need for greater attention to the epidemic of violence against women. It is a very sad irony for me personally that this is my last memory of Martha MacDonald. Her comments foreshadowed the very tragic and unfair end to her life.
Port Of Trois-Rivières
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Yves Rocheleau Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Monday, I asked the Prime Minister to make the commitment that his government would give the port of Trois-Rivières the status of Canada port authority. I have been informed that the Minister of Transport confirmed this morning, in a letter, that the port of Trois-Rivières would become a CPA.
There is no need to thank the federal government for that since the port of Trois-Rivières meets all the established criteria. As the minister representing the Mauricie region, the Prime Minister had the responsibility of ensuring, right from the start, that the port of Trois-Rivières would be given CPA status since it meets all the established criteria. His responsibility was to do that and not to make a pitch for some local personality through various means.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister voluntarily ignored the second part of my question concerning the $12 million accumulated by the port of Trois-Rivières. The Bloc Quebecois is concerned about that and demands that the government leave this money for the
development of the port of Trois-Rivières instead of dipping into this surplus, as it did with the port of Quebec City.
Drunk Driving
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Daphne Jennings Mission—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to applaud the sincere and tireless efforts of the members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Especially at Christmas, MADD reminds us with a red ribbon campaign of the tragic consequences of drinking and driving.
I commend MADD for effectively changing the attitudes of the public toward what used to be an acceptable social occurrence, getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking.
However, the social pressure will not be enough to curb the high percentage of repeat offenders whose problems are more than bad judgment.
As a society we also have a responsibility to eradicate the ravages of drunk driving by addressing the cause, not only the effect.
Statistics show that up to 70 per cent of the drivers who cause death and injury through impaired driving do have alcohol problems.
Therefore I say it is time to enforce rehabilitation, even involuntarily, to prevent future tragic deaths. We must, as well, pass legislation like Motion No. 78 which will deal with this serious offence effectively.
Today I am again wearing my pin in honour of Cindy Verhulst, a young woman from Mission in my riding whose life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver.
Wilf Carter
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paul Steckle Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to pay tribute to a special Canadian music legend. Many will recognize the name Wilf Carter, but perhaps he was best known to his fans as Montana Slim.
Wilf Carter was born December 18, 1904 in Port Hilford, Nova Scotia and died one week ago at the age of 91.
Wilf Carter was inspired at an early age by a yodeller who was passing through town. Wilf developed his own unique three in one or echo yodel, which became his trademark in the music industry.
His famous yodel sparked his career, a career that spanned six decades and kept him on the road well into his eighties.
Wilf began his career while working in the grain fields of Alberta, singing at local dances, bunkhouses and parties.
Wilf was such a hit in the prairies that the Canadian Pacific Railway hired him to entertain trail riders on their summer packing trips through the Rockies.
One of his songs that I recall is "It makes no difference now". The truth is his career made a difference, for Wilf Carter was a legend in his own time.
On behalf of all Canadians and all those who knew him, we offer his family our deepest condolences. Gone but never forgotten.
Rupert Evans
Statements By Members
December 12th, 1996 / 2 p.m.
Ovid Jackson Bruce—Grey, ON
I am pleased to acknowledge the initiative of one of my constituents, Rupert Evans, who travelled to Japan to build a frontier log home in a rural community north of Tokyo. Rupert Evans, Royal Buchanan, Bill Power and Dan Babcock spent six weeks in Japan on the project while enjoying the warm hospitality of their Japanese hosts.
The material and human expertise required to build the home were Canadian. Mr. Evans and his team amazed their hosts with their aptitude and dedication. They accomplished in six weeks a project which normally takes months in Japan. Rupert Evans and his construction team showed the Japanese what Canadian hard work and initiative are all about. Their efforts have stimulated demand for Canadian resources and skill in this field.
We are opening doors to other markets, we are expanding opportunity for Canadian business and we are establishing good relations with foreign governments to facilitate trade.
Congratulations to Rupert Evans and his team for a job well done in showing that Canadian expertise is the best in the world.

Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I make this statement on behalf of my fellow island colleagues, four MPs.
A large group of islanders are concerned about a rash of criminal acts that has occurred on Prince Edward Island. The worst was the repeated sexual abuse of a three-year old girl in which the rapist suggested that she was actually the aggressor. We find that hard to believe. More to the point, a provincial judge sentenced this individual to only 15 months for this heinous crime.
In response to this, my colleagues and I have received a petition from the Citizens Against Sexual Abuse of Children signed by over 11,000 islanders.
These petitioners call on Parliament to review the penalties associated with such crimes. They feel penalties are far too lenient and should be increased to provide a deterrent to protect the most innocent in our society, our children. We also request the Minister of Justice to formally respond.
Bois-De-Belle-Rivière Forest Educational Park
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Maurice Dumas Argenteuil—Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to express my support for the ongoing negotiations between the city of Mirabel and the Department of Public Works for the purchase of the Bois-de-Belle-Rivière forest educational park.
Several reasons led me to this decision. In the past, significant public investments have confirmed the role of Bois-de-Belle-Rivière as a tourist area. The city of Mirabel has already said it is interested in protecting local plant and animal life. It has even created a corporation, called CPEM, that is responsible for environmental protection in the Mirabel area.
The Centre de formation agricole de Mirabel, headed by Denis Lauzon, is also very much involved in this project.
The people of the greater Montreal area are in favour of protecting the Bois-de-Belle-Rivière area, and that is why I am asking the public works minister to accept the request made by the city of Mirabel.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jim Hart Okanagan—Similkameen—Merritt, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of the constituents of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt to give fair warning to the Liberals that their proposed senior's benefit which places a 50 per cent tax rate on the income of Canadian senior citizens will not be tolerated.
The Liberals do not listen to Canadians but they will not be able to ignore the voice of Canadian senior citizens who will align themselves at the ballot box in the next election. Canadian seniors will not stand for the 50 per cent tax rate on their income.
Not only are the Liberals planning to attack OAS, they are also attacking the Canada pension plan. They plan to triple taxes for the CPP and cut seniors' pensions in half.
Canadian seniors will support the fresh start offered by the Reform Party of Canada. We are committed to rescuing the CPP and guaranteeing that every senior citizen receives every penny that he or she is entitled to under the Canada pension plan.
Canadian seniors know that Liberal and Tory policies do not work. Canadians want the security of the Reform Party of Canada.

The People vs. Larry Flynt"
is a blazing, unlikely triumph
about a man who is nobody's idea of a movie hero. Smart, funny,
shamelessly entertaining and perfectly serious too, Milos Forman's
film describes the Hustler publisher and his many liberties, civil
and otherwise. Above all, the film emerges as an object lesson in
open-mindedness, winning a reluctant respect for its main
character's right to crude self-expression just as Flynt has won
his days in court....
MILOS FORMAN'S "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" depicts the
publisher of the pornographic magazine Hustler as a
vulgar, coarse, arrogant, reckless, lascivious,
self-centered boor whom you root for 100 percent.
It has been Larry Flynt's
singular burden and redemption
to be both the icon of trashy excess and the upholder of
one of the Constitution's most democratizing elements,
the First Amendment. As we behold Flynt in all his
loathsomeness, we tend to forget that popular speech
doesn't require protection. It's unpopular speech that
needs a legal system's backing. Inevitably, the guy who
will test the strength of such a protection is going to be
someone easy to despise.
In so many ways Flynt, played
by the versatile Woody
Harrelson, is reprehensible. Scores of feminists have
denounced him for his depictions of violence to women. His
famous Hustler cover bearing the legs of a woman whose
torso has presumably just been consumed in a meat-grinder
epitomizes a sensibility that could easily drive the most
dedicated libertarian to call for government sanctions.
But Flynt was also gleefully
irreverent enough to show
Santa and Mrs. Claus in an intimate moment, and witty
enough to satirize the deserving Rev. Jerry Falwell by
describing him performing unnatural acts in an outhouse
with his mother. I guess which of these images is most
personally offensive would depend on where you stand
politically and whether you believe that allowing Julia
Child to have a television show threatens to turn America
into a nation of gourmets....
Flynt went from rags to riches, from born bad to reborn, and in
his most unlikely metamorphosis yet the hillbilly hustler has wriggled
from his chrysalis, no longer a pornographic worm but a soaring
champion of the First Amendment.
"The People vs. Larry Flynt,"
an enormously entertaining and surprisingly touching bio-pic starring
Woody Harrelson, practically canonizes the Pappy Yokum of
Though Flynt's political
opponents were plentiful and though many were feminists alarmed by
Hustler magazine's depiction of sexual violence against women, there's
little evidence of thoughtful critics here. In the film, most of his
foes are middle-American stuffed shirts and ladies who spend their time
making jello molds....
By Charles Taylor
fun about the movie
is that it pisses on things like virtue, monogamy, God and patriotism.
(It's fitting that, in the second half of the movie, after Larry has
been paralyzed by a would-be assassin's bullet, Harrelson talks in the
nasal squawk of W.C. Fields.) By the time Larry is giving a lecture
while intercutting slides of porn with slides of the Holocaust and
asking which is more obscene, or appearing as the Spirit-of-'76
flag-bearer at his bicentennial party, the ironies have started to
thud. And when Larry starts to cherish his Constitutional rights, the
picture gives up the chance to make a tougher point.
Larry appears in court in battle helmet,
wearing the flag as a diaper, talking gibberish or openly abusing the
judge, he's not just grandstanding. He's in contempt of court because
the court is in contempt of him. The method to his madness is this: if
a law protects your right to free speech, a law can take it away.
That's a rather sophisticated point, and not one likely to be seconded
by people who are intent on making "Mr. Flynt Goes to Washington"....
