The companies are trying to offload their losses onto Albertans because of a deal made between the former government and Enron, a discredited and now-bankrupt U.S. electricity operator. Albertans shouldn’t have to pay for the losses of electricity companies. This ‘Enron clause’ was never raised during months of public hearings that were supposed to ensure Albertans got a fair deal as their electricity system was deregulated. And, there is evidence the Enron clause was enacted unlawfully by the previous government and then deliberately withheld from the public. The Government is asking the court to overturn the Enron clause and protect Albertans against an estimated $2 billion in business losses over the next four years. If successful, any additional electricity fees charged to the public due to the Enron clause will be refunded back to Albertans. Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook for a backroom deal that allows companies to collect the profits when power prices are high and hand consumers the losses when prices are low. That’s why the Government of Alberta is taking legal action – to protect Albertans.

After Parliament adjourned for the summer, I began my travels throughout the region. In late June, I had the pleasure of attending the Alberta Beach Boat Launch Grand Opening, the re-dedi Legion, and the cation of the cenotaph at the Thorsby Village of Warburg’s Heritage Day Parade. My family and I celebrated Canada Day with many of our constituents in our hometown of Edson at the beautiful Centennial Park. From the local talent and birthday cake to the fireworks, the celebrations of Canada’s 149th birthday was an enjoyable family event. I was pleased to be present, along with other dignitaries and members of the media, at the facility tour of the new $200 million Edson Hospital. We were all very impressed with the spacious and bright rooms, and the special features in the operating and delivery rooms. A great new addition will also be a renal dialysis unit that will save many patients the lengthy drive to Edmonton for the medical service. I met with the Edson Fish and Game Association to discuss current proposed firearms legislation, such as Bills S-223 and C-246 which I know many hunters and sports shooters have been concerned about. In mid-July, I returned to Ottawa in order to catch up on pending issues pertinent to the riding. In the latter part of July, I prepared a radio message in recognition of Heritage Day in Alberta (August 1st). The following day, I met with constituents in Jasper and later toured the Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park. I was pleased to hear that the Town of Hinton’s application for a grant toward The Guild Performing Arts Venue Project was approved. I also met with Mayor Herb Castle of Grande Cache, to discuss the current and future economic situation in the community. On July 30th, I was in Peers to participate in their ‘40th Annual Gold Dust Daze Parade’ and Opening Ceremonies where I enjoyed the festivities and speaking to many of my constituents, then on to Cadomin for the Community Dinner at the Legion. The next day, I watched a few slo-pitch games at the ‘SLO-Pitch Tournament’ in Edson. Please feel free to drop by the Edson office to say hello should you be in the area.

Alberta is known for its vast, beautiful land – and it’s important we take the steps to protect it. Starting August 6, 2016, tickets with specified fine penalties can be issued on the spot for irresponsible off-highway vehicle use, damage and destruction to fish or wildlife habitat and inappropriate waste disposal. These tickets are another tool for enforcement personnel, who may also issue written warnings, require the person(s) responsible to repair any damage they caused or compel the person(s) responsible to appear in court. Anyone who witnesses serious public lands abuse can phone the 24-hour Report A Poacher line at 1-800-642-3800. Learn more at aep.alberta.ca/plar-penalties FOR ALL OF YOUR EXCAVATION NEEDS.

The matter was reported to police at approximately 9:06 A.M. July 28, 2016.

No additional details are available at this time, however, should new information surface during the course of the investigation, an update will be provided.

I’ve tried the commercial products, but they have not worked. Short of sanding it off, which I hope to avoid, is there anything that will remove this awful yellow stuff, which is now several years old? Margaret Dear Reena, Your best bet is to spray the area with WD-40. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and scrape with a plastic putty knife and an abrasive cloth (not an S.O.S pad). After the area is no longer sticky, make a solution of dish soap and water and wipe the area well. Bite Back Tips of the Week: • When deterring mosquitoes DEET is the most aggressive remedy but not everyone chooses to use such strong chemicals on their porous skin. You can make your own mosquito repellent by combining the following into a spray bottle: 4 quarts (4 L) water, 4 tbsp. (60 mL) lemon dish soap, 2 tbsp. (30 mL) original Listerine. Spray liberally (safe for small children). • For the yard; instead of spraying poisons, burn citronella candles to repel the little critters. Or have a fan blowing near where you are sitting (mosquitoes don’t like wind). • Spray the yard with garlic and water. • Build a purple martin or bat house. • For humans; use Caress soap, avoid wearing perfume. Wear light-colored clothing; eat an orange before going outside (mosquitoes do not like the smell of citrus). • Rub lemon soap or real Mexican vanilla or soybean oil or Skin-So-Soft by Avon on exposed skin. • For pets; dip a rope in eucalyptus oil, wrap in a bandana and tie around your pet’s neck. • Mosquitoes do not like the smell of rosemary, marigolds and geraniums.
