PINE L A K E WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The Pine Lake Women's Institute Branch members began the New Year with a discussion of the numerous diversification techniques farmers have adopted to remain in the farming industry. Small rural towns have also had to adapt to changing times to provide viable services. Branch Agriculture Convener, Marion Brown, explained the enforcement of the law where livestock must be manifested as the owner's brand is registered or the money will be withheld. With the numerous trips some cattle make to auction marts, brand inspectors are tested of the mettle as expressed in " Rope and Clippers and Old Felt Hat, by Brenda Shantz, as read by Marion Brown. To conclude her program, Marion showed video pictures of a visit to a cattle station in the Queensland high hill area of Australia that she and Roy had made in June 2001. " Water for Export" was the second subject that generated interest. Kathleen Lawrence read a brochure from the Council of Canadians itemizing the requests for export of water from Lake Superior, Lake Ontario and Grisbourne Lake in Newfoundland. Both have been denied for the present, but we must be vigilant for if any export took place, NFTA agreements would prevent any cessation. Each member was asked to personally deal with the petition, re Corsair Exploration Inc.' s application for removing water from the North Saskatchewan River, as presented at the December 2001 meeting. Faye Nicholson was remembered with an expression of sympathy with the passing of her father, Robert William Campkin, on December 12, 2001. Branch members, Isabelle Beck, Lillie Clutton and Irma Lawrence, are holidaying in the Southern States. Members were encouraged to work on handicraft for the 2002 Constituency Handicraft Display and Tea. The February 12 meeting will take the form of a " Pot Luck" supper and the annual visit from Red Deer Constituency Convener Marilyn Wattenbarger, Submitted by E. Marion Brown PINE L A K E WI. " Defining Truth" was the topic chosen by Constituency Convener, Marilyn Wattenbarger. Since September 11, 2001, people have perhaps reflected on what matters most in their lives. Universal truth is the best one can do with what one knows. Strive to be honourable, good and true. The state of truth is determined by seven critical choices made in a life time - survival, emotion, love, self esteem, self expression, intellectual fulfillment and spiritual fulfillment. Ms. Wattenbarger asked the members to take ownership of their decision making to create positive results. If there is a need for change, make positive changes that extend the truth to others. The evening began with a potluck supper, a fitting change of routine to acknowledge the annual visit of the Constituency Convener and Founder's Day, February 19. In 1897, the first Women's Institute was organized at Stoney Creek, Ontario, by Adelaide Hunter Hoodless. The first branch in Alberta was formed at Lea Park in 1909. Membership in the Alberta Women's Institutes automatically gives membership in the Federated Women's Institute of Canada and the Associated Country Women of the World. President Doris Warke welcomed the members with the poem," Love is a Grandparent" after which the Mary Stewart Collect was repeated. Three members had replied to the petition, re: Corsair Exploration Inc.' s application for removing water from the North Saskatchewan River. Kathleen Lawrence read a reply from Alberta Energy and Utilities Board. " The Board has set aside objections filed on the basis that no objector has demonstrated that he or she would be directly and adversely affected by the Board's decision on the applications. The applications have been granted, and approvals respecting the applications will be issued in the near future." At a recent Constituency Representatives' meeting, plans were made for the upcoming events: District 3 Conference - March 21, 2002, Ponoka; Red Deer Constituency Handicraft Tea - May 4, 2002; Alberta Women's Institutes Convention — May 28, 29 and 30, 2002, at Stony Plain, Alberta. Local events included preparations for the annual Heart Fund Card Party, February 23, at 8 p. m. and the 75th Anniversary of the Ridgewood WI. on March 2, 2002. Doris Warke provided " fun time" with a Look, Think, Record contest. Members were awarded with chocolate kisses for their effort.
