Bud Anderson – Trans Canada/Keystone Pipeline: Bud Anderson and Jason Vaness spoke about what to be aware of when the pipeline comes through this area. Bud stated it looks as though it wouldn’t get started until November if it is signed by the President. A man camp will be set up at Howes on Dean Wink’s property and will be strictly controlled. A punch card would keep track of when they leave or come back into the camp and other things would be tracked. There wouldn’t be much impact on the school as most do not bring their families. Most of the workers would live at the camp, but some of the executive employees may live in Faith. Saturday nights would be the likely day that Faith may see an impact with workers coming to town. Service stations, grocery stores etc. will see an impact. There will be groceries and things available at the camp. A Nurse Practitioner will be there 24/7, security 24/7 and a cafeteria 24/7. Glen Haines will go on a tour with Meade County to a man camp and come back with more answers of things to be prepared for and expect.
