Mr. Speaker, it is important to remind everyone in the House that the health measures are important.
I want to start by humbly thanking the people of my riding of Joliette for putting their faith in me once again. I also thank all the volunteers and campaigners who pitched in during this election campaign. I am truly honoured to speak on behalf of the people I represent in Joliette.
I will be talking about Bill C‑2, regarding the economic impacts of the pandemic.
As members know, the pandemic caused a huge economic downturn, a recession. Some sectors had to be shut down to comply with health measures, and these closures dealt a blow to the economy.
Over the past century, economics has shown us that the least bad solution during these periods is for the government to step in with income support measures. We had measures such as the Canada emergency response benefit, the Canada emergency wage subsidy and the Canada emergency rent subsidy. These measures obviously need to be specific and well targeted if they are to be effective. This is why the Bloc Québécois was generally in favour of them. The Bloc is in favour of effective spending and against waste.
We now seem to be emerging from the pandemic-induced economic crisis, and that is encouraging. The latest statistics released by the government show that for period 21, there were just over 300,000 applications for the wage subsidy, which is about 10 times fewer than there were a few periods ago. We appear to be on the right track.
However, we all know that some economic sectors, businesses and workers have been hit harder by the pandemic. Some sectors will need more time to get back to the way things were before the pandemic. We think it is important to bring in effective programs to help these sectors overcome the pandemic. We believe in that, because we want to be able to count on the women and men who work in these sectors after the pandemic, once the new normal sets in. In the meantime, however, we have to be prepared to work together for the common good.
In one of our first encounters after her appointment during the last Parliament, I pointed out to the Minister of Finance the importance of targeted measures and predictability. Unlike in previous years, when this was rarely the case, these two components are included in Bill C‑2.
The two measures proposed in the bill will apply until May 2022, with the possibility of being extended until July. That provides some important predictability and, for the first time, specific sectors are targeted. This all seems great, and we applaud it.
Right now, the government is telling the House that action is urgently needed. The last period has ended, and the bill must be passed to avoid an interruption in subsidies. Therefore, we must hurry up, so much so that the government wants to invoke closure.
I would like to remind the House that the Liberal Party and its government are the ones responsible for this urgent situation. Did the public really want a general election? It seems that they did not, but the government was hoping to win a majority. Voters said no. Moreover, it took the government two months to recall the House. During that time, we could have been studying Bill C‑2 and taking the time to ensure that it adequately meets people's needs and the needs of our economic sectors. We did not get that time, because the government preferred to delay opening the new Parliament and resuming the work of the House.
Now the government is saying that action is urgently needed. That is obvious. It reminds me of a student who has two weeks to study or do their assignment, but who waits until the day before the deadline or the exam and realizes they must get going. Yes, it is urgent, but the student should have started earlier.
The government could stand to learn that lesson. It needs to take responsibility. If Bill C‑2 passes second reading, and the Bloc Québécois will soon be sharing our concerns about that possibility, we believe it will be extremely important to take the time to study the provisions properly in committee.
The bill sets out percentages for sectors such as tourism and culture. There are some more targeted and more accommodating proposals. There are measures for other sectors in general. The bill requires a business to have lost 40% or 50% of its revenue before being eligible for assistance. Are these percentages carefully targeted? For the Canada emergency wage subsidy, people will receive a specific percentage. Is that percentage appropriate?
All of this must be studied in committee. We need senior officials to explain the reasoning behind these percentages and share their figures and information. We can then decide whether the policy proposed in this bill is appropriately targeted. We need to do the work. We will have to hear from different groups and sectors in society about whether the measure is good and whether they have any amendments to suggest.
When the House passed economic aid bills under a gag order, the government had to come back to the House a month or two later to say that it was wrong, that it had made mistakes and that it had cut corners. Why? It is because those bills were all passed at the last minute, without taking a step back and without taking the time to study the bills and improve them. Sometimes, when we try to move too fast, it slows us and everyone else down.
At the beginning of the pandemic, it was important to act quickly, so there may have been flaws in the legislation. However, the government could have quickly done better by targeting the measures more carefully and by taking more time to examine the issue, rather than proroguing Parliament or, more recently, calling an election and taking two months before coming back to the House.
I would like to remind members that the wording of Bill C‑2, as it now stands, gives the Minister of Finance a lot of discretion. If certain sectors need to be added during the designated assistance period, she would have the power to do so, just as she could change the percentages if needed. Our hope is that, if this bill is passed, the government will use that discretion to support industries properly and respond to needs quickly.
One group is conspicuously absent from this bill: self-employed workers. Yes, there is the rent subsidy, but there is essentially nothing else in the bill. The people I have in mind are self-employed workers in the cultural sector. Supporting them is extremely important, but there is nothing in the bill as it stands. That is an issue I have with the principle of the bill. Why were these workers left out? That is a huge problem.
The government has hinted that there will be a program a few months from now, but how are these self-employed workers supposed to make it through until then with no income? This is very troubling.
Members may recall that, a few years ago, technicians and salaried employees in Quebec's cultural sector were asked to switch to self-employment to better meet the industry's needs. That is what they did, so now we need to help and support the sector. There are lots of self-employed workers in the economy, but the government is not giving them anything in this bill. That is a problem.
This sector is made up of people, women and men who need support. We must help them overcome the effects of the pandemic, which they are still grappling with. We have not forgotten them, and this oversight forces us to question our support for the very principle of this bill.
That was an overview of our thoughts on the bill. Once I have answered members' questions, the House will hear a wonderful speech from my colleague from Terrebonne.

We took Xander, Hayden and Lily to see their first puppet show today, it was also the first time braving a library. My little book destroyers were actually pretty good, not a single book got torn or gnawed on. Xander liked the show, Hayden and Lily were not interested at all. Once the show was over we let them roam the library for a little bit. The library has a really awesome children's section, more like a children's floor really, it was huge. They didn't destroy any books but they sure were taking them off the shelves just as fast as their little hands could move. They left a wake of downed books everywhere they went, and all the nice propped up book displays...yeah not many were standing when we left. In all though they did well and weren't too terrorizing, we never got those looks, you know the looks of 'control your hellions' from other annoyed parents LOL so I think we did OK :)
We didn't get there early enough to get a good spot at the puppet show, but it was still fun to see.
Xander got to meet one of the puppets...but he had no idea what to think.
I had to take a picture when Xander grabbed this book off the shelf.
Now Xan can get himself into a chair!
Hayden enjoyed zooming through the rows.
Xander checked out a doll house with some other kids.

Earlier this month, 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson took center stage at ARM TechCon 2014 to share his journey from mere Maker to mass market, highlighting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robotics, and of course, the “Next Industrial Revolution.”
During his 40-minute keynote presentation, the former WIRED editor-in-chief shared his original “flying robot” (or, a Lego autopilot), as well as reasons for establishing a social network catered to those looking to experiment with autonomous aircraft.
“I didn’t know what the big thing was. And so, I created a website specifically to ask dumb questions in public,” Anderson explained. “Great things happens when you ask dumb questions in public. First, people answer your dumb questions, and second, it liberates people to ask their own dumb questions.”
Shortly thereafter, the DIY drone community — many of which powered by AVR MCUs — began to experience tremendous growth. For those who still need convincing that DIY drones are set to soar, Anderson revealed that DIY drone community is 60,000+ strong with over 2 million page views per month, 10,000 blog posts, and 150,000 comments per year.
“I was stunned first time I used the web. The same thing happened when I made my first drone.”
According to Anderson, 2007 was a pivotal year in taking making mainstream. This was the time when “everyone was walking up…” as hints of it were seen in WiFi controllers, Lego Mindstorms, Atmel based Arduino and RepRap printers, and other elements of the modern-day Maker Movement.
Anderson shared his thoughts at that time, “There’s something going on here. I’m not sure what it is but I got to be a part of it.”
“It later turned out what that something was was basically a convergence…. a democratization of technologies like MEMS sensors, ARM processors, etc. Suddenly things that were expensive got cheap, things that were hard got easy, things that were closed became open.”
This led to the boom of Internet of Things, wearable tech and other markets connecting once-ordinary objects to the web.
Chris even reminisced the days of 2009 with the debut of Blimpduino, a “company” he launched with his children on the weekend. Despite not actually being an operating business, BlimpDuino was a very low-cost open-source autonomous blimp consisting of an Arduino-based blimp controller board with on-board infrared and ultrasonic sensors.
From there, Anderson took the audience through his progression from prototype to mass production — with the formation of 3D Robotics and his latest ventures.

Ronnie Sturdivant, who on Aug. 30 was found shot to death in one of the two landmark buildings he owned in downtown Durham, never quite fit within the inner sanctum of Bull City businessmen. It was appropriate, then, that his funeral was held at the edge of the city, past a country club on Cole Mill Road, not as a final rebuke to the councilmen, real-estate leaders and tenants with whom he publicly clashed, but to accommodate a standing-room-only crowd. More than 1,000 mourners paid tribute Saturday to the former life-insurance salesman and would-be real-estate maven’s “dreams unmatched.”
“Ronnie would look at a house and think about how marvelous it would become,” the Rev. William A. Stephens, his minister at Southside Church of Christ, told an exuberant crowd at the Cole Mill Road Church of Christ. “And I would look at it and think how raggedy that house is.”
Sturdivant’s lackluster upkeep of roughly 30 rental properties and his stern measures with tenantsincluding a nasty habit of executing “self-help” evictionsearned him notoriety with city officials, who, in 1993, sought to prevent him from purchasing the Chapel Hill Street motel where he was found murdered. Police have charged one of his commercial tenants in connection with the crime.
When Sturdivant’s plans to convert the former Holiday Inn into a weekly-rent motel began to falter, he bivouacked on the roof with a mattress and a megaphone, accused his opponents of “apartheid,” and eventually prevailed in keeping the propertyonly after N.C. Central University refused to accept the run-down building as a donation from NationsBank, which sought to renege on the sale to Sturdivant. Yet despite Sturdivant’s long history of housing code violations, and allegations of assaulting tenantshe was cleared of several assault charges, though found guilty of communicating threats in 1990, court records showbusiness associates described him as a downtown pioneer whose vision of black enterprise was both genuine and confounding.
“I admired the fact that he was this hard-charging, energetic entrepreneur,” said Bill Kalkhof, director of Downtown Durham Inc., who acknowledged the importance of Sturdivant, an African-American, owning property in the center of historic Black Wall Street. “Having said that, there’s absolutely no question that we did not see eye-to-eye on the revitalization of downtown, and particularly with his properties.”
Kalkhof and other real-estate leaders pointed to Sturdivant’s 1960s-era converted motel on Corcoran Street as having unrealized potential. The building is known locally as the “Oprah building” for his boldly proclaimed but unsuccessful campaign to coax talk show host Oprah Winfrey to Durhaman effort still visible in the run-down building’s windows. Sturdivant rented street-level commercial space and parking but kept most of the motel rooms vacant and the building in disrepair. Kalkhof said he arranged numerous meetings between Sturdivant and investors who wished to convert the property into a high-rise, mixed-use building, but said the meetings “never got very far.”
Yet Sturdivant’s mere ownership of the buildingwhich he named the TQ Business Complex and Upper Deck Motel and planned to use for hosting entrepreneurship seminarswas a point of pride, business associates said.
“He said, ‘I read about and know about Black Wall Street being along Parrish Street, but there really are no black people along Parrish,’” said Hank Scherich, president of Measurement Inc., which last year loaned Sturdivant $150,000 to prevent foreclosure on the Corcoran Street building.
Scherich, and at least three other creditors, now hold liens on the building. At the time of his death, Sturdivant, who spoke often about money management and authored a book called God’s Plan for Debt Free Living, had not yet begun to pay back the Measurement Inc. loan.
“The man had owned the property for 12 years. He had struggled through downtown while the property was worth nothing. And here, for a mere $55,000, he was going to lose a valuable piece of property,” Scherich said, in explaining why he had offered the three-year loan, which effectively bought out an existing loan on which Sturdivant had defaulted.
Scherich was not alone in professing an admiration for Sturdivant’s perseverance, and sympathy for his unrealized goals. At his funeral service, the Rev. Christopher Turner said the last time he saw Sturdivant, “he was still climbing.”
“Who else could take a man from a small town, send him to the city, to look at the buildings downtown, to one day stand on the top of his own building, right in the center of everything?” Sturdivant’s minister, Stephens, asked aloud in a passage praising God.
But according to Scherich and other business associates, Sturdivant had bigger plans than merely sittingor standingon his properties, which he had more or less done for more than a decade on Corcoran Street. He similarly allowed the Chapel Hill Street property to slip into disrepair, replete with a razor-wire fence and perennially stowed cars, but when the city outlawed his weekly-rate motel, he converted the property into the Urban Merchant Center, where vendors sold used furniture and African-American art. Police listed “Urban Merchants” as the place of employment of murder suspect Barry Wayne Kaalund on the arrest report.
“He really hoped that a black man could be the leadhe understood that he didn’t have enough capital to build the place himselfbut that a black man could be the lead in recreating a signature building in downtown Durham as a follow-up to the historical Black Wall Street,” Scherich said of the Corcoran Street property. “He really wanted thata black entrepreneur to build a signature building downtown. And he might have accomplished it if he had not been murdered.”
Scherich said that, recently, Sturdivant had planned to convert the property into an 18- to 24-story multi-use buildingmuch like Kalkhof had advocatedand that he was drawing up plans for the high-rise with an Atlanta-based development group called Russell New Urban Development. On Oct. 31, 2007, Sturdivant received a $50,000 loan from the Atlanta company, records show, and he put the Corcoran Street property up as collateral, as he had already done for Scherich and two other businessmen, W.S. Tucker of Charlotte and James Bradford of Durham.
Carl Webb, a Greenfire Development partner, negotiatedunsuccessfullywith Sturdivant to incorporate the Corcoran Street property into Greenfire’s plans for revitalizing Black Wall Street.
“I think Ronnie had some very definite ideas for what he wanted to see happen therea lot of it was similar to what I wanted to see happen. I think he had a desire to do a lot of it himself,” Webb said.
Sturdivant had a vision for a “symbol of success within the black community” that would have included office, retail, residential and parking space, Webb said. The Atlanta company did not return calls seeking comment.
Webb added that Sturdivant had planned to convert the Chapel Hill Street building into a “conference and convention center” that would rival Raleigh’s, a plan that he kept secret from other business associates.
As Sturdivant was laid to rest, his minister echoed business and political leaders in saying that they “butted heads” but nevertheless held mutual respect.
“Ronnie would say, ‘I have a vision for Southside [Church],’” Stephens said Saturday, to a chorus of laughter. “And I said, ‘That’s great, but there’s only room for one evangelist.’”

Concerns over pig rescue voiced to Atascadero city council
—Two concerned citizens expressed their opinions about the K&M Mini Pot Belly Pig Rescue organization located in Atascadero at the city council meeting held Jan. 9. The rescue organization, started by the Elder family, operates on half an acre of property with 11 pigs, while city ordinances require at least an acre of land with a maximum of four pigs.
No action was taken during the meeting, as the community forum portion is only to hear concerns addressed by the public. The city manager released information to the city council that the city is working with the property owners on reaching compliance with the current codes and ordinances.
The Elder’s will address the city council on Jan. 23, to urge Atascadero to officially recognize mini pot bellied pigs as pets, and not livestock. They also have a petition with over 2,000 signatures, as of Jan. 15.

(Adds management changes at Agrokor firms, paras 8-9)
By Igor Ilic
ZAGREB, April 5 (Reuters) - Croatia’s parliament could pass an emergency law as early as Wednesday to shield the economy from big company failures after the country’s largest private firm Agrokor piled up debts, leaving it struggling to pay creditors and suppliers.
Agrokor, the biggest food producer and retailer in the Balkans with 60,000 employees, built up debts of about 45 billion kuna ($6.5 bln), or six times its equity, as it expanded rapidly.
The law will be applied to Agrokor if the company fails to secure deals with creditors and suppliers and is intended to protect the economy in the event of future corporate failures.
“We want to protect our financial system, the economy, jobs, suppliers, family businesses and all the stakeholders involved in developments around our biggest firm,” Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic told parliament as he presented the legislation on Wednesday.
Under the law, which could be approved by parliament as soon as later on Wednesday, the state will be able appoint an executive to steer a restructuring process at the request of a debtor as well as at creditors’ request with the company’s agreement.
The law envisages a company reaching a restructuring deal within 15 months.
Agrokor struck a deal on Sunday with six lenders led by Russia’s Sberbank and VTB to freeze debt repayments and get an unspecified cash injection.
In line with that, a restructuring expert was appointed to rescue the business. Antonio Alvarez III, of consultants Alvarez&Marsal, said on Tuesday there was no guarantee that the company could be saved.
Agrokor said on Wednesday that its retail chains in Slovenia and Croatia as well as a Serbia-based refined oils producer had replaced their top managers.
“The management changes in our key retail and food production companies aim at strengthening the company within a new business model and further restructuring plan,” Agrokor said in a statement.
Agrokor suppliers, who are owed around 16 billion kuna ($2.29 billion), hope the new law will facilitate unfreezing of the company’s accounts.
But food producers that supply Agrokor’s retail chain Konzum, which controls almost a third of the local market, are worried payments will come too late to keep their businesses running.
“We’re still delivering products, but we have no information whatsoever on how and when we will be paid,” said Zvonimir Belic, the manager of tomato producer Zarja, based near the capital Zagreb, which employs 50 people. “I really don’t know how to pay salaries this month.”
The central bank said on Tuesday some banks might need a capital boost due to their exposure to Agrokor although the banking system as a whole was not in danger due to banks’ relatively high average capital adequacy levels. (Editing by Susan Fenton)

Burgum closes North Dakota bars, restaurants to foot traffic
Bars, restaurants, breweries, cafes and similar businesses across North Dakota are closed to on-sale and on-site patrons, Gov. Doug Burgum ordered Thursday, March 19.
The governor’s order came a few hours after Grand Forks Mayor Mike Brown said he planned to order residents to stop congregating in bars and restaurants to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Brown said he planned to formally announce that decision at 2:15 p.m., but later said he planned on “synchronizing” it with Burgum’s announcement at 4.
Both directives would have allowed -- and do allow -- carryout and delivery service, Brown and Burgum stressed, and both are built upon emergency declarations each made in the recent past.
The governor’s order presumably pre-empts the mayor’s as far as those businesses go, but Brown also said his might extend to others, such as nail salons and hairdressers, which Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ordered closed in that state on Tuesday, March 17.
Brown also indicated that he could ultimately bar people from congregating in large numbers at all.
“We need people to practice safe social distancing,” he said.
Brown has the power to do that because of an emergency declaration he made on Monday evening. The declaration gives him a suite of powers that range from dramatic -- enacting quarantines and closing businesses -- to more mundane ones, such as closing city streets.
On Tuesday, Brown used his emergency powers to close Grand Forks City Hall and all other city buildings to the public. He also used it to order nonessential personnel to work from home.

World's largest bee once thought to be extinct found in Indonesia
INDONESIA - A bee many experts thought was extinct has been rediscovered in Indonesia.
The world's largest bee is back after nine years of believed extinction. Wallace's Giant Bee is roughly the size of a human thumb and has a two-and-a-half-inch wingspan.
Even though it's the largest, the giant bee is actually one of the least dangerous.

According to Ethiopian Airlines statement, all 157 people aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed soon after taking off on Sunday morning from Addis Ababa have been killed, reports CNN
Live Update: China Grounds Boeing 737
- In a knee-jerk reaction, the Chinese government has grounded all Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets.
- The Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement on Monday morning that all domestic Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets must be out of the air by 6 p.m. local time, due to its principle of “zero tolerance for safety hazards.”
- The move was followed by an announcement from Ethiopian Airlines that the company had already grounded its small fleet of Boeing 737 Max 8 jets as an “extra safety precaution” while investigations into the crash continue.
- The Ethiopian Airlines incident was the second time in less than six months that a new Boeing aircraft crashed just minutes into a flight. A Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight went down over the Java Sea in late October, killing all 189 people on board.
- “Given in both air crashes, the aircrafts were newly delivered Boeing 737 MAX 8, and both accidents occurred during the take-off, they share certain similarities,” the administration said in a statement.
- China has one of the world largest fleets of Boeing 737 MAX 8, operating 97 of the planes, according to Chinese state-run media.
- In a statement Monday, major airline China Air confirmed it would be suspending the planes from March 11, adding they would take action to ensure “smooth traveling for passengers.”
- The Chinese authority said it would contact Boeing and the US Federal Aviation Administration to confirm “flight safety” issues before allowing the planes to fly again.
- The Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes are both still under investigation and there is no evidence of a direct link between the cause of the two incidents.
The plane, en route to Nairobi, Kenya, lost contact at 8:44 a.m. local time, six minutes after taking off from Bole International Airport in the Ethiopian capital.
Flight ET302 went down near Bishoftu, southeast of Addis Ababa. The victims were of 35 different nationalities, an airline spokesman told CNN.
All Passengers Killed
Thirty-two Kenyans, 18 Canadians, nine Ethiopians, eight Americans, eight Italians and eight Chinese nationals were among the passengers. Seven French and seven UK nationals were also on board, the spokesman said.
UN Staff Members on the Plane
Nineteen United Nations staff members were among those killed, according to a UN statement. The victims worked for the World Food Programme, the Office of the High Commissioner on Refugees, the International Telecommunications Union, the Food and Agriculture Organization, International Organization for Migration in South Sudan, World Bank and UN Assistance Mission in Somalia, and the UN Office in Nairobi.
Though it’s unclear why UN employees were on the plane, the UN Environment Assembly is scheduled to begin Monday in Nairobi.
“My heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims — including our own UN staff — who perished in this tragedy,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
US Team Sent for Rescue Operation
The US National Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to support the Ethiopian Accident Investigations Bureau’s investigation, with assistance from technical advisers from the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing, and General Electric.
Investigations into the crash are still continuing as Kenya and Ethiopia announced they had set up a joint disaster response team to look into the incident.
The Pilot Asked for Emergency Landing
- Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde GebreMariam told reporters the pilot reported technical difficulties after takeoff and asked for clearance to return to Addis Ababa.
- He was given clearance to turn back, GebreMariam said, citing the air traffic controllers’ record.
- The pilot was a senior Ethiopian Airlines pilot who had flown more than 8,000 hours. He had an “excellent flying record,” GebreMariam said.
Report from the Crash Site
The CEO visited the crash site Sunday. He said the plane “is now right inside the ground” and it was not possible to identify whether it was an emergency landing or a crash. He said there was still smoke at the site when he visited.

Panhandle Rancher Jim Bill Anderson Receives 2010 Leopold Conservation Award for Texas
AUSTIN — A lifelong passion for preserving prairie land seeded by a high school summer job that didn’t turn out quite like he expected has earned Panhandle rancher Jim Bill Anderson the 2010 Leopold Conservation Award for Texas, a prestigious recognition conferred by Sand County Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as part of its Lone Star Land Steward Awards program.
"As Mr. Anderson puts it, he believes in ‘partnering with the prairie,” says Carter Smith, TPWD executive director. "To visit his ranch is to travel back in time for a glimpse of the Canadian River country pretty much the way it was when Spanish explorers first trekked across the Panhandle. It is hard to imagine a more deserving recipient of this award than Jim Bill Anderson."
The 59-year-old Anderson received a $10,000 check along with a crystal trophy at the annual Lone Star Land Steward Awards banquet in Austin on May 26. He said he plans to use the money toward developing an interpretive center on his ranch so everyone from school children to fellow ranchers can learn about voluntary conservation techniques and the ecosystem of his part of Texas.
The TPWD Land Steward program is partnered with Sand County Foundation, an international non-profit organization devoted to private land conservation. The Leopold Conservation Award in Texas is sponsored by the Bradley Fund for the Environment and Silver Eagle Distributors.
Located on the Canadian River in Hemphill County, the 5,000-plus acre Anderson Ranch has been in Anderson’s family since 1946, when his grandfather J.O. Wells bought it. Though his forebears also had a high regard for the land, since Anderson assumed full control of the ranch in 1981, he has restored its native grasses, eradicated water-sucking invasive plant species, managed its quail, Rio Grande turkey, white-tail deer and the rare lesser prairie chicken while operating a working cattle ranch.
Anderson won his first conservation-related recognition in 1965, when as a Boy Scout he earned a merit badge in soil conservation and nature. But it was an experience two years later that really proved transformative.
“When I was a sophomore at Canadian High School, I got hired for the summer by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Southern Plains Research Station in Woodward, OK.,” Anderson recalls. “I loaded up two young horses thinking I would be spending the summer working as a cowboy, but I spent most of my time crawling on my hands and knees collecting native grass clippings for analysis. That probably woke me up as much as anything to the importance of land stewardship, a term I like better than conservation.”
After graduating from high school, Anderson left the high plains for the piney woods of East Texas, studying business at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. But after the death of his father in 1974, he returned to Canadian and began managing the family ranch.
In 1981, he built a house on the ranch and devoted his full attention to running the ranch and 38,000 leased acreage. Slowly he began buying out the various family members who owned parts of the ranch, finally completing its reunification two years ago.
The Leopold Conservation Award honors the legacy of Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), considered the father of wildlife ecology. His collection of essays, "A Sand County Almanac," remains one of the world’s best-selling natural history books. Leopold’s godson, Reed Coleman, formed Sand County Foundation in 1965 to protect the Leopold farm from encroaching lot development along the Wisconsin River.
"Jim Bill Anderson has transformed an average Texas Panhandle ranch into a world-class ranch that earns his family a living while allowing wildlife and native grasses to flourish. Anderson’s tireless efforts to sustain and improve his part of Texas makes him more than worthy of being honored with an award named for Aldo Leopold,” said Brent Haglund, Ph.D., Sand County Foundation president.
In nominating Anderson for the award, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist John Hughes (formerly based in Canadian but now assigned to the Denver area), cited several factors in demonstrating the rancher’s achievements as a steward of the land:
- Use of adaptive management principles, including wildlife survey-based decisions in livestock rotation. He also uses hunting and prescribed burning to assure the health of his land.
- Through his stewardship, he provides healthy habitat for the endangered least tern, the threatened Arkansas River shiner and the lesser prairie chicken. Populations of these species has either increased or been stabilized on Anderson’s ranch as a result of his management.
- A willingness to be innovative, one example being grazing criollo cattle along his ranch’s river bottom land during the dormant season. That helped rejuvenate stagnated grasslands and encouraged new growth of cottonwood trees, a native species along the Canadian River.
- In addition to his land management work, he has reached out to neighbors and various conservation groups, government agencies and economic development organizations to promote land stewardship and ecotourism.
- Finally, Anderson worked with the Texas Agricultural Land Trust to place a perpetual conservation easement on his property.
“There shouldn’t be a wall between running livestock and promoting wildlife,” Anderson says. “Good land management benefits both.”
Sponsors for the 15th annual Lone Star Land Steward Awards include U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Partners in Fish and Wildlife Program, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, H. Yturria Land and Cattle Company, Texas Wildlife Association, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lower Colorado River Authority, Texas Farm Bureau, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, Texas Agricultural Land Trust, and Llano Springs Ranch, Ltd.
More information about the award, including how to nominate property owners, is on the TPWD Web site. Nominations are accepted June 1 through Nov. 30 each year for the following year’s awards program.

On January 31, 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published its proposed Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2021. This proposed rule provides additional guidance pertaining to the benefit and payment criteria that is imposed under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), primarily pertaining to:
- Annual Limitations on Cost-Sharing. This is the allowable annual out-of-pocket maximum amount a non-High Deductible Health Plan places on an individual before the plan pays 100% of all medical costs. For 2021, the out-of-pocket maximums would increase from:
- Individual: $8,150 to $8,550
- Family: $16,300 to $17,100
- Individual Mandate Affordability Exemption. This provision provides an exemption from the Individual Mandate fee if the reason why an individual does not have health coverage is because they cannot afford it. This is calculated based on the health care premiums not exceeding a certain percentage of an individual’s household income. For 2021 the proposed rule would increase the percentage from 8.24% to 8.27%. It is important to note that in 2018 the Trump administration reduced the individual mandate fee to $0, effective January 2019, so if an individual does not have coverage they would not be penalized. Thus, HHS proposes that individuals should seek an exemption for acquiring health care going forward, for example, in order to be eligible for catastrophic coverage or Marketplace incentives.
- Special Enrollment Periods (SEP) through the Exchanges. This provision allows an individual to enroll in coverage through the Marketplace outside of Open Enrollment, for example being fired from ones job, a divorce, etc. The proposed rule would make certain changes to these existing events, such as:
- Allow Exchange enrollees (and their dependents) who are enrolled in silver plans and become newly ineligible for cost-sharing reductions to change to a qualified health plan (QHP) one metal level higher or lower, if they choose.
- Require Exchanges to apply plan category limitations to dependents who are currently enrolled in Exchange coverage and whose non-dependent household member qualifies for an SEP to newly enroll in coverage and seeks to enroll in a plan with the dependent.
- Shorten the time between the date a consumer enrolls in a plan through certain SEPs and the effective date of that plan, and revert to the single retroactive effective date and binder payment rule that provides consumers who have an SEP with a retroactive effective date the option to pay one month’s premium and only receive prospective coverage.
- Allow individuals and their dependents who are provided a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement (QSEHRA) with a non-calendar year plan to qualify for the existing SEP for individuals enrolled in any non-calendar year group health plan or individual health insurance coverage, based on the last day of their plan year.
Additionally, the proposed rule requests individuals to provide feedback on a new automatic re-enrollment process for consumers enrolled in $0 plans on the exchange. The new automatic re-enrollment process would add stipulations to carry over enrollments, such as those receiving a premium tax credit on their coverage through the exchange would need to take action for the next Open Enrollment timeframe to re-enroll into coverage, otherwise the tax credit they currently receive could be significantly reduced or discontinued. Per HHS, this change would help reduce incorrect tax credits being provided and give the chance to re-evaluate the credits on an annual basis. Comments on the automatic re-enrollment proposal are due to the HHS by March 2, 2020
Lastly, all of the above changes are proposed by HHS and have not been finalized. Therefore, the proposed changes do not impact ACA regulations that apply to current Medical plans both on and off the Marketplace.

Five days after the Thanksgiving weekend ice storm, hundreds in hard hit El Reno remain without power.
Slowly but surely the power is being restored but it’s going to take some time. It’s not only a matter of tree branches coming down and breaking wires, it’s entire power poles that have been taken down by the storm.
For the first time in a long time, it's back to fun and games at the Drew household in El Reno. Crews got the juice back on Tuesday morning after five days of the family living in the dark.
“You know, it was very dark. It was very dark and eerie, but cold. My house got down to 49 degrees,” said Tara Drew.
El Reno was one of the harder hit areas by the ice storm. At the height of the outages almost the whole town about 5,000 homes, were without power. Crews have whittled that number down to about 1,500 homes.
“Which is a lot higher than we wanted it to be, but our crews are out and we have 1,300 people working on this,” said Christine Dukeman, OG&E.
And this is what those people are dealing with. Power poles snapped like twigs. Transformers sit in the dirt. And there are miles and miles of damaged power lines.
“As we peel back the onion we see a lot more damage. A lot of physical damage. So our poles, our lines, are down. A lot of trees down obviously,” said Dukeman. “So, the damage is just much more extensive than we thought.”

The United States Constitution insures that all persons born in the US are citizens with equal protection under the law. But in today's America, the US-born children of undocumented immigrants--over four million of them--do not enjoy fully the benefits of citizenship or of feeling that they belong. Children in mixed-status families are forgotten in the loud and discordant immigration debate. Anticipating the book's more general conclusions about the evolution of academic crowdsourcing, it is argued that what underpins academic crowdsourcing in the humanities and cultural heritage is the kinds of relationships formed between super-contributor communities and professional researchers; and this may be seen as a natural, even.

CITIZEN is a difficult book, not because of the language but because of the cumulative effect of purposeful and absent-minded and unaware racist incidents.

New McDonalds allowed but iconic arches downsized
The McDonalds restaurant chain has won the right to build a new outlet in the Auckland suburb of Balmoral, but only if the 10 metre high golden arches are banned.
From China to America, the golden arches are the global symbol of the biggest fast food chain in the world.
But in Balmoral, the 10 metre arches will be missing - rejected by the Auckland City Council's panel of independent commissioners.
Nathan Inkpen of the Balmoral Community Group says residents are furious over the new McDonalds.
“It’s American multinational corporate '1' Balmoral community '0', we feel sickened by the result,” he says.
McDonalds is hiding their disappointment about losing the arches saying the store will still be popular.
Balmoral is one of 30 new stores McDonalds wants to open in the next three years, with stores said to also go

Or the law of Moses, is the most ancient that we know of in the world, and is of three kinds; the moral law, the ceremonial law, and the judicial law. Some observe, that the different manner in which each of these laws was delivered may suggest to us a right idea of their different natures. The moral law, or ten commandments, for instance, was delivered on the top of the mountain, in the face of the whole world, as being of universal influence, and obligatory on all mankind. The ceremonial was received by Moses in private in the tabernacle, as being of peculiar concern, belonging to the Jews only, and destined to cease when the tabernacle was down, and the veil of the temple rent. As to the judicial law, it was neither so publicly nor so audibly given as the moral law, nor yet so privately as the ceremonial; this kind of law being of an indifferent nature, to be observed or not observed, as its rites suit with the place and government under which we live. The five books of Moses called the Pentateuch, are frequently styled, by way of emphasis, the law. This was held by the Jews in such veneration, that they would not allow it to be laid upon the bed of any sick person lest it should be polluted by touching the dead.
Charles Buck (1771-1815) was an English Independent minister, best known for the publication of his “Theological Dictionary”. According to the “Dictionary of National Biography”, a Particular Baptist minister named John C. Ryland (1723-1792) assisted Buck by writing many of the articles for the aforementioned publication. One may conclude, based not only Buck’s admiration for his friend Ryland, but also on the entries in his Theological Dictionary, that he stood head and shoulders with the High-Calvinists of his day.

Whoa. This is big, people. An independent study last week revealed its rankings of America’s top 100 smartest cities.
Drum roll please. Stark Vegas, otherwise known as Starkville, Mississippi, weighed in at Number 34 in the nation! I went to bed dumb as a post and woke up smart…I think.
This knowledge impressed the dickens out of me especially since I singlehandedly brought the average down at least a point or two…okay maybe ten.
No wonder I feel downright stupid most of the time. I’m sharing space with some of America’s brainiest people. This news makes me want to take up chess and walk around with a book on thermodynamics although I have no idea what that is.
My fellow citizens were tickled pink when they learned that the only other Mississippi city on the list is Oxford, home of its archrival Ole Miss. Oxford scored considerably lower at Number 74!
Forget the Golden Egg, apparently Starkville and MSU has a wide edge on the “smarts,” and that should be good for bragging rights for the rest of the century.
Washington D.C. didn’t make the cut because congress was in session when the test was given. Having them in town really pulls things down (except for the nation debt).
The data was collected from three million people (ages 18-75)who played brain games with an outfit called Lumosity which came up with five different types of mind games that they feel determines a person’s level of intellect.
“One of the most interesting findings from this analysis is that most of the top metro areas contain major research universities, suggesting that education is an important predictor of cognitive performance,” said Daniel Sternberg, Ph.D., Data Scientist at Lumosity. “Neuroscience research has found that those who are engaged in learning and cognitively stimulating activities throughout the lifetime build up a ‘cognitive reserve’ that helps maintain and improve cognitive performance.”
Comparing the Lumosity data with trend data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey data, which is an ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year, found that the percentage of individuals within a metro area with advanced degrees or pursuing advanced degrees were strong predictors of the cognitive performance score for that city. These findings are consistent with existing neuroplasticity research indicating that those with advanced degrees tend to perform better cognitively throughout the lifespan.
I KNEW AS SOON AS THEY FOUND I HAD MOVED TO STARKVILLE THAT THIS WOULK HAPPEN……..
WOULK IS A NEW WORD……….


It’s hot. 92 degrees hot. And we walked all day. No subways. We walked the scenic high line along 10th Avenue and reached the Meatpacking District in time for lunch. There was a light breeze around that kept us from melting. Fashion around New York is incredible in itself but as we sat and ate, every second person that passed us looked as if they’d walked straight out of magazine. New Yorkers are not only fashionable but they carry it with style. You can still wear the most expensive couture item and look like you’re wearing a paper bag, but New Yorkers can put on that paper bag and make it look like runway. They ooze confidence and aren’t afraid to be themselves, not tied down to the latest trend but creating them. Bright fluro colours, boots, red jeans, edgy sunglasses and mixed prints are among the styles walking around Manhattan this summer.
We walked off lunch and sweated out every ounce of water we drank. As we made our way toward the river, hopeful to find a cool refreshing breeze, we ran right into her. Breezy and her twin sister Coco were chaining up their bikes as we rounded the corner. Before I knew it, I was in front of them asking if I could take their picture. Not only are they identical twins but also sport matching tattoos, wicked hair styles and matching shades. I learn they are accessory designers from Minnesota, making their mark on the fashion industry with celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and Nicki Minaj wearing their shades. You can check out their online store here. They were so approachable and friendly as have been most of the people I’ve met in the concrete jungle.
Later in the evening we caught the number 2 train to Harlem. As we made our way down 125th Street, it started to hit me. I was just about to see The Jackson perform live at the Apollo. The excitement was palpable as we entered the theatre. Along the walls were pictures of other stars that caught a break at The Apollo. James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald and Gladys Knight all had some wall space. I touched the lucky log that everyone (including MJ 40 years ago) rubs for luck before hitting the stage for amateur night. We were sitting just 5 rows from the stage and The Apollo is not a large theatre…if I spat, I reckon it would have reached it. We were so close, even The Jacksons’ agent was sitting behind us (I don’t endorse eavesdropping but it did come in handy in this instance).
Then the curtains raised, the beat started, the smoked cleared and there stood Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Jermaine. Instantly the crowd jumped to their feet and went crazy. They opened with Can You Feel It and even the high class ladies with large jewels adorning their necks started clapping and singing along madly. The Jacksons did not disappoint. The played the classics and some of my favourites, like Lovely One, Heartbreak Hotel and Looking Through The Window. They danced and sang only a couple of meters away from me. I couldn’t believe we scored these seats….and yesterday for that matter.
After the concert, the MJ stalls that popped up outside the theatre the day after his death and still remain were pushing their merchandise a little bit harder. Hopeful they could capatalise on the emotions of the concert goers. Well, it worked. Among other items, I bought a J5 tote bag for $12 that I could have made myself. But hey, I was supporting local industry.
My oh my what an awesome day.
(Again, I haven’t proof read…I stand by my grammatical and spelling mistakes.)

Just one more week and 75 miles to go!
This week I journeyed from Brighton to Rye. I was accompanied by my daughter, Abi, as far as Hastings.
This was my shortest week of the whole pilgrimage, covering just over 55 miles, and has been a little bit of a meander as I wanted to include the town of Battle in my route. I have spent quite a lot of time on the 1066 Country Walk path and bits of the Saxon Shore Way and the Royal Military Canal path, and have done considerably less climbing than in other weeks, although most of it this week was done on the trip from Seaford to the Belle Toute lighthouse – across the Seven Sisters – much to Abi’s delight!
It seems a little odd to be preparing to begin my last week of this pilgrimage journey, and although I am excited to be this close to my destination, there is something bittersweet about knowing that this adventure will soon be over.
‘Change’ has been the dominant thought for me this week, and I am pretty sure that this journey has already changed me in a number of ways, and will perhaps continue to do so as I reflect on it later. More to come on this later…
Photographs from my sixth week, and more details through my daily posts can be found on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/2BAPilgrim

text: Despite being fairly unknown, the London duo that are Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman, also known as Dusky, have validated the fact that fame and talent don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand. Starring as one of Anjunadeep’s hottest rescources thus far, Dusky return from the recent release of their debut album to come out with another well-oiled single through one of the record imprints of Above & Beyond. As a counterpart to the abundance of dubstep and wobbly electro-house offerings hitting the digital mark these days, Dusky’s ‘Three Colours’ reflects upon far less intricate build-ups and a soothing appeal. With assistance from large yet smooth kicks, soothing piano chords and mysterious vocal lines, this accompany piece to a re-release of the album single ‘Lost Highway’ sets the standard for the London producers’ music output in 2012. Also included in the package is the winning remix out of the recently finished remix contest for Dusky’s essential contender of 2011, ‘Lost In You’, in which London-based deep House producer Hugga Thugg went victorious.

I knew it was building up throughout the years, but I didn’t realize I was depressed until it hit me all at once. I stopped seeing my friends. I grew further and further away from my family. I would just stay in my room and cry myself to sleep. I had started gaining weight as well. I would just spend hours in my room staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out what could all of a sudden force me to get in to this state of mind.
I never really remembered being a happy person. I had my happy, and fun moments, but something always felt empty, especially since my childhood. It was the pressure of trying to keep up the image of the perfect child that my doctor-mother and engineer-father created, which I was far from ever becoming. It was the loneliness of being in the same group of friends my entire life, where I put in my maximum effort to maintain friendship, only to barely get minimal effort from them. It was the pressure of keeping it together, when my special needs brother had a breakdown, and my parents would just stand there and fight with each other on what to do instead of getting something done.
It was the feeling of not having a purpose and it was the worst feeling that had ever come over me. Over a year has gone by, and so much has changed – a different city and different people. Maybe all I needed was change, but after finding a group of people within a city that I’ve grown to love, who have felt the same way I have felt, has helped me start to fill the emptiness that was inside me. Yes, there are days and nights where I feel the emptiness grow, but I have learned to conquer them – to clear out the things that bring the most negativity into my life.
