LEONIE Duplissis (centre) celebrates her 85th birthday with granddaughter Lissia
VanHulle Aleft) a and daughter Deanna VanHulle (right) June 16.

When Leonie was born,
her mother was having some difficulty with the birth, so her
‘uncle Fred'Dakin went on horseback 40 miles to Athabasca
for help. But to get to Athabasca you had to cross a river.

‘Nova Scotia. At the time,

Because of high water, the bridge

had been- washed out.: Leonie’s .
uncle met a good friend (who was
“a good swimmer), who. offered to
-swim across for help.

While her uncle was returning

‘ on’ horseback, ‘he. saw chimney

smoke from a house in the bush,
knocked on the door and told the

_ lady about the problem. So she

immediately got on her horse and
buggy and came over to help. Mrs.

onie said, saved her mother’s life.
_ Leonie parents met in Digby,
her mother was doing housework

‘for the Dakin family. Her mother came from Grande Riviere,
‘Quebec and her father from Nova Scotia. After the first world

'.war in 1919, the Dakin family decided to move to Alberta.

At the time of their move there were 18 family members that
travelled by train'to Edmonton.

The family settled on a half-section of land at Dakin Al-:

‘berta, named for Grandad Dakin (Atmore Alberta). Her fa-

ther grubbed every tree on the property to-clear his land to set

up farming. Leonie went

to school to. Grade 8 ( French and

English) at the Dakin School, where her first teacher was her
auntie Lila and she would walk a mile and a half.to School

summer and winter.
When Leonie was 17,
doing housework for the

Hubdey, a lady from England, Le- |

‘she left -home and went to work ;

Samson family at Boyle; Alberta.

' She did all the washing, ironing, baking and looking after the £ foire

three children.
Then she met and married

-and Leonie had three girls:

- Anita born Feb. 2, 1948,

Deanna born Aug. 26, 1952
and Jeannette born June 14,
1955.

After putting up witha
few cold winters for the girls
‘to attend school from the
farm, in 1956 Leo decided it
was time to make a move to
‘Edmonton for better school-
-ing for their daughters.

> When Leonie lived on the
‘farm, she would walk three
miles to the nearest post of-
*fice at Atmore, for groceries

. ‘etc. She said she remembers

picking blueberries and sell-
-ing them for 5 cents a Ib,
‘eggs for 18 cents a dozen,
and she would milk cows
.— 6 of them — plus gardening:

_ At this time, they would can

“everything, chickens, pork,
“beef and all the vegetables

-and wild berries. And all the .

‘laundry was done on scrub
‘board.

In Edmonton, Leo worked
‘at Lupuls Brake Shop. Leo-

-inie went to work for Canada

“Safeway for 11 years, until
“they made the move to Ter-
“race in 1966. In Terrace,
-Leonie went to work at the
‘Terrace Co-op as:a cashier

. cand was there from 1967 to

71978.
“After her husband Leo

“passed away in 1987, Leonie:

-moved to the Willows apart-

-“ments on Kalum Street. At

-the Willows, Leonie keeps
‘very busy, working in the
-kitchen making meals, call-
“ing bingos and selling tickets

sto raise money for improve- .

‘ments at the Willows. Leonie
“is also a dedicated member
‘of the Catholic Women’s
league.

sna and her husband Doug
:VanHulle live in Terrace,

In just a few years, income trusts have
_fisen from relative obscurity to become
popular investments. But does that mean

f they should be in your portfolio?
Income trusts aren't for everybody. Be- .

fore you invest, make sure you know how
income trusts work, what: they offer; and
their advantages and disadvantages.
An. income trust is a legal

Income trusts: should they.
be in your portfolio?

, ing. First, the way income trust yields are,
calculated may lead to overstatement rela-
tive to other investments. And second, for
most investments, higher yields mean high-
er risk, Investors should consider whether

~ they are comfortable with additional, risk

_represented by higher yields.

Another concern is _ liability. Income

entity formed to hold an un-
derlying asset or group of

assets. The operating entity
| creates a trust instead of of-
fering securities directly to
the public. The trust usually
invests in the shares of an
Operating company that owns
and manages. the properties
_ or businesses that produce .
| cash for distributions to: in-
“vestors by the trust.:

Income trusts are an off-

Kevin Marieau

_ ability for unit holders, so it is
possible that investors could
be on the hook for trust activi-
ties that.result in unexpected
financial obligations. However,
some provinces have intro-
duced : legislation to ensure
investors are not liable for the
activities of trusts..

When investing in income
trusts, consider the” funda-
“‘mentals of the underlying
businessjust as with an eq-
‘uity investment. Also consider

shoot of royalty. trusts and
real estate investment trusts
(REITs) that emerged in the 1980s. They

“were Originally popular: in the oil and gas
industry, but have’since spread to many
other industries: Income. trusts appeal to

‘investors ‘because they have the poten- -

tial to produce a steady stream of income
through cash distributions.

One of the key features of interest to
both businesses and investors is.the fact
that the income trust structure reduces
taxes. Trusts do not pay corporate taxes,
which makes more money available for dis-

» tributions. However, . individuals generally
pay tax on those distributions. -

In some cases income trusts return prin-
cipal-or investors’ own. money-as part of
distributions. This can appear to be a tax
break, because investors don’t pay income
tax on the return of their money. But these

' payouts: lower the. investor's’ cost base,
which means higher capital gains taxes
when trust units are soid at a profit.

Even though an income. trust is paca
_an equity investment, investors should
~ expect most returns to be from distriou-

tions, rather than unit. value appreciation.
(However, income. trusts can appreciate
‘substantially in valué, as performance ‘in’
recent years has demonstrated.) This gives .
the. fatse impression that income trusts
, are more akin to fixed income. investments
than to stocks.

The major yardstick for income trust per-.
formance is yield: Recently income trusts” :
have offered -high yields relative to other

income investments. But when it comes to. —

yield, there are two points worth consider-

Investment Representative

whether the business is vola-
tile or cyclical, whether distributions are .
rising or falling, whether the trust’ has high
or increasing debt and whether managers’ :
interests are aligned with those of:inves-

tors. Here are some Situations that could ‘

be red flags.
-+ Distributions that are artifi icially high be-.
cause they exceed cash flow or involve a :
~ return of principal.
* Declining distributions. '
“« Rising debt accompanied by the | issu
ance of additional units.
« High yield relative to other income trusts,
which could suggest high risk.
Monitor general market and economic con-
ditions, as well. High returns for income
trusts in. recent years may suggest ‘that a:
correction is in order. And be aware that the -
economy and interest rates have an impact.
When rates rise, traditional interest-gener-.
‘ating investments become increasingly ap-~
_pealing to investors, which’could put. pres-
sure on income trusts. . MEMBER CIPF -

f you are new to the sport,

a simple technique called
bar fishing can get you start-
ed right from shore. Sam
from Misty River Tackle
says a bar rig works well. It
consists of a spin-n-glo lure
and an eight to. ten ounce
weight, about two feet from.
the lure.

n the doorstep of
Terrace is the mouth
, of the Kalum River, made
world famous river by it’s
big chinook salmon.

Anglers regularly catch chi-
nook 30 to 40 pounds, with
some monsters coming in at
more than 80 pounds.

In the lower stretch of the
river there is an impass-
able canyon and all boaters
should talk to your marine
dealer or tackle shop about
the places to avoid. _

The Kalum_ River is
known by two other
names—Kitsumkalum and
Kitsumgallum. The former
being it’s gazetted name and
the one which appears on
the map.

“Cast out and wait for a.

lure}.”

She says the chinook don’t
feed once they leave the
- ocean, so the trick is to catch
their ‘attention by irritating
the fish, and that’s what the
spin-n-glo does.
The spin-n-glo floats, so the
weight is needed to keep the
lure.near the bottom. A two
