New Lamont Petro Can broken into and robbed New business just opened in late 2018 MAUREEN SULLIVAN The new Petro Canada service station in Lamont was broken into at approximately 4:00 am on Feb. 2 by two men. Using a truck, they backed into the door of the store, breaking a cement security pillar. They stole the ATM machine, rifled through the drawers at the counter and stole all the cigarettes
on the premises. According to store clerk Tara Ellis, the men were caught on the security camera but were masked. Police later found the vehicle involved, but it was a vehicle that had been reported stolen and was abandoned. There is no comment from the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at this time while the investigation continues.
The amount of rural crimes in Alberta has increased almost 40 per cent in recent years compared to urban crimes, according to a 2017 report, with almost half of Canada’s rural crime coming in either Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba. As well, rural crime is up over 30 per cent in Canada with 6,581 incidents per 100,000 citizens.

Buses cancelled as cold snap freezes County Mundare on Feb 4 and 5 as temperatures plummeted to the high minus-20s with wind chills adding another drop of 10 degrees. However, the schools themselves remained open for students. “But public works in most Lamont communities indicated no issues with equipment or infrastructure failures. Plowing from the weekend major snowfall was proceeding according to schedule. Several community events were cancelled in Lamont including Snowplows were busy all over Lamont County like this one school curling and basketball games. on Main Street, Lamont. BY JOHN MATHER The first major cold snap of 2019 stopped school buses cold this week in Strathcona and Lamont Counties. Elk Island Public Schools cancelled all bus routes to all of its schools, including Bruderheim, Lamont, and
Tonight’s (Wednesday, Feb. 6) Lamont Bingo has also been cancelled because of the extreme cold. In Bruderheim, streets were being cleared, according to Chief Executive Officer Patty Podoborozny, but there had been one water line break. In Mundare, Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla reported everything was running smoothly and the street clearing was progressing nicely. Mundare School cancelled a basketball game on Tuesday and student skating was also cancelled due to the freezing temperatures. Lamont County’s director of Public Works, Chris Valaire reports all equipment is out busily clearing the roads. He said about 90 per cent of the roads were open following Saturday’s dump of snow. “We have 10 graders with wings, one
grader with an out wing, a sand/plow truck and some smaller equipment clearing driveways for seniors,” he said. “We’re certainly facing our challenges with a couple of pieces of equipment going down due to the cold, but all the staff is meeting these challenges head on.” He said the priority for roads is to get all school routes plowed first, and then move onto medical routes and the tackle the arterial routes. In Lamont Chief Administrative Officer Christine Beveridge said plowing of the streets was progressing well. “We’re dealing with our priority one and two areas right now,” she said. “Fortunately we’ve had no equipment issues, but we’re treating all the equipment with kid gloves. It gets used and then put away inside so no one is too rough with any of our equipment.”

Opinion Fox guarding the hen house Last week Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal government decided that it would be a good use of Canadian taxpayers’ money to teach citizens how to differentiate between real and fake news. This project, coincidentally timed while leading up to a fall Federal Election, will cost Canadians $7 million. As well, the Liberals unveiled the “Critical Election Incident Public Protocol”, which is not a title thought up by L. Ron Hubbard although I am sure he would have been proud of the name. Rather, it is the government identifying an “interference attempt” during the election, in which case a panel of senior officials will convene to decide if it is serious or not. If it is a serious threat to a free and fair election by a Canadian or foreign source, a press conference will be held to inform the public that this was in fact fake news. Although the spread of misinformation is not a new phenomenon, it is jacked-up due to the popularity of social media platforms and the instantaneous international reach of the world wide web. Although the intentions of this new policy may optimistically be viewed as good, there lies a Great Lakes sized gap for interpretation. Politicians are spin doctors. There is nothing that is said or done that can not be spun in a way that favours them, and harms their opposition. Some may consider the misinterpretation of events as lying, but apparently not in politics. If misinterpreting is lying, then lying is a daily routine. So putting politicians in charge of interpreting fake or real news is a classic case of having the fox guard the hen house. Just in 2016 in Brazil, one political party spread misleading information to voters over the WhatApp smartphone application. In Brazil, voters punch in numbers instead of checking beside names, and a candidate that dropped out was promoted to millions with a number 17 beside his name. The 17 was actually the number required to vote for another candidate entirely. Politics is like love and war - all’s fair, so it seems. Although the Liberal Government and the Prime Minister would like to make it seem like he, and they, are all concerned about fairness, a person can’t help but think these politicians have ulterior motives. Having control of the media, even if it is the social media, is an important first step to developing facism. I am sure we, and he, and they, don’t want it to appear that things are heading in that direction which is what makes this such a terrible idea for all of Canada. Being free means the right to believe what you want to believe even if it is completely wrong. It also means the right to research and make free decisions on your own without the government telling you what to do at every turn. But some governments would be happier with a teacher/pupil relationship. That’s where things are going. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Student performance declines despite spending hikes in Alberta Parents in Alberta are concerned about the state of elementary and secondary education. Results from the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) and international tests including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) indicate alarming trends, particularly in math. Unfortunately, a pervasive myth that large cuts to education spending are responsible for the decline in Alberta student performance continues to cloud the education debate. A reality check quickly dispels that myth. As noted in a recent Fraser Institute study, in the 10-year period between 2006-07 and 2015-16, spending on public schools in Alberta rose from
$6.2 billion to $8.6 billion – an increase of 39 per cent. To put the increase in public education spending in context, changes in enrolment must also be considered. Between 2006-07 and 2015-16, the number of students enrolled in public schools in Alberta increased by 13.7 per cent while per student inflationadjusted spending in public schools increased from $12,663 to $13,321 – an 8.1 per cent increase. That’s well above the Canadian average of $12,791. If increased education spending improved the academic performance of students, we should have seen marginal improvements, at the very least. So what happened to student performance in Alberta after the provincial spending hikes? In 2017-18, according to PAT
results, 40.8 per cent of Alberta Grade 9 students failed to achieve the acceptable standard in math, up from 32.8 per cent in 2016-2017. That’s an increase of 24.4 per cent in the number of students failing to meet the math standard in a single school year. The percentage of students achieving the standard of excellence also dropped from 19 per cent in 2016-17 to 15 per cent in 201718. Now let’s look at the PISA exams, the gold standard of international testing. These tests are administered to 15year-old students worldwide every three years in reading, science and mathematics. Math scores in Alberta declined significantly between 2003 and 2015 (the latest year available, as 2018 results have not yet been released). Continued on Page 5

FROM WHERE I SIT A lost art
BY HAZEL ANAKA Brrrrr. I haven’t been outside of the house for five days. If you’re picturing me relishing the stereotypical snow day, you’re wrong. I haven’t stayed in pyjamas and fuzzy slippers all day sipping on hot chocolate. I haven’t been swaddled in a handknit, wool afghan. I didn’t stay in bed with covers up to my ears reading or bingewatching Netflix (Okay, I did catch up on a couple seasons of Grace and Frankie but wasn’t lying down). I’m not sure if those images are the stuff of books and movies or memories from my childhood. Somehow blizzards from my youth seemed so much worse. Granted, the old twostorey near Wostok was a drafty old place with an oil heater in the living room. R-values? Ha. Waking up with frost on the windows wasn’t that uncommon. I do remem-
ber my sisters and I digging a tunnel into the snowbank along our road. I remember how that delicate wrist skin between the end of the mittens and the start of the sleeves went from icy cold to feeling like it was on fire. Incidentally, digging a snow tunnel is bad, bad, bad so don’t try that at home. Just another example of how it’s a miracle any of us survived our childhoods before helicopter parents, public service announcements, safety agencies, government legislation, law and order. But I digress. I was a kid. What did I know about snowplows? All I knew was the roads were impassable and the school bus wasn’t coming. Oh, happy day. Later, when we moved to Andrew and I became a town kid, the school stayed open no matter what. Having a few kids rattling around in a nearly empty school was its own kind of fun. Didn’t make much sense, from a learning perspective, but hey. Then, when I had kids and Elk Island Public Schools began making those school closure calls, it pointed up the differences between rural remote schools and the headquarters in downtown Sherwood Park. Their temperature/wind chill formula
never hit the magic -40 to trigger a closure. I think they left it to bus drivers to decide if their roads were passable. I knew parents were glued to CFCW or the TV to find out if it was business as usual or if the kids were in snow day heaven. In the mid 1990s before regionalization when I was on the school board the decision to close the school and/or stop the buses from venturing out was a joint decision between trustees and the County road foreman. It was a crack of dawn decision considering temperature, wind chill, and the likelihood of buses making it back home. What I did do these past few days was sew. I modified some curtain panels. I shortened some of Roy’s jeans until the heavy leg seams wrecked my machine. Digging out the manual, opening ‘er up, and cleaning the feeder dogs and bobbin compartment did nothing. I still can’t catch the bobbin thread. If you understand any of this, you know how therapeutic (and frustrating) sewing can be. Yet I was grateful for home ec. class and some of those old school skills we were forced to learn. I hope it isn’t a lost art like learning penmanship, from where I sit.

BINGO!
Shannon Schiller of Bruderheim leans over to check that her mom, Sheila Andruchow of St. Michael, has filled her bingo card completely. The pair were taking part in the Bruderheim Lions Club monthly bingo at the Bruderheim Hall, Jan. 28. About 60 people came to enjoy the evening.
Education letter Continued from Page 4 In fact, no province except Manitoba recorded greater declines in PISA math scores since 2005. And Alberta now ranks below British Columbia and is essentially tied with Ontario – two provinces it once consistently outperformed. PISA scores for Alberta students in both reading and science have also decreased, although less dramatically.
Clearly, the increase in spending on Alberta education has not improved academic performance. That should concern all parents, policy-makers and taxpayers. We owe it to young Albertans to ensure they’re prepared with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful and productive adults. The essential promise of public education has always been that all children will receive tools to continue their education and lead happy and

prosperous lives. The numbers don’t lie: something must be done about declining student performance in Alberta. Policy-makers in Edmonton and in school districts around the province can learn from other jurisdictions and what’s been successful in Alberta in the past.

Lamont resident concerned about restaurant access
BY JOHN MATHER A Lamont resident came to town council Jan. 22 to share his concerns about parking around the Parkview Café. Nestor Kubersky said his concerns were watching parking and how seniors got to the Parkview Café. “There’s a safety hazard there,” he told council. “I’ve seen people walking towards the café and I don’t think they realize there’s a driveway next to the cafe.” He told council there were no parking signs in the area and he’d prefer if council could put handicapped parking in the area from the eastern end of the restaurant to the corner at the west end of the restaurant. “The driveway at the west end is dangerous,” he told council. “Who’s responsible if someone gets hurt by a vehicle coming out of the driveway?” There is customer parking for the customers on the east end of the café. Councillor Doug Pewarchuk asked Kubersky if he’d talked to the restaurant owners. “I think they would be responsible for the handicapped parking signs,” Pewarchuk said. “The municipality doesn’t put those up. It’s normally handled by the business.” Kubersky argued many places had handi-
capped spaces, but Pewarchuk explained to him, those were erected by the private business operators. “I don’t think we can erect those on public lands. It’s certainly something we could look into.” He added the café did have the space where they could put up some handicap parking signs. He said there had been a residence as part of the business for many, many years and the driveway to the main street had always been there. Mayor Bill Skinner said the town would look into the issue to see if anything could be done. Council passed a bylaw to reflect increases in both the utility and garbage fees. The new garbage rates will increase by $1 for every two month billing cycle; while utility rates will be hiked by 1.4 per cent reflecting the increase from $1.0895 per cubic meter to $1.1044 per cubic meters set by the Capital Northeast Water Service Commission. Council passed the bylaw, but Pewarchuk told council another increase would have to be added to the bylaw when an increase from the St. Michael Regional Landfill was passed on. A letter was received from a block of residents asking if the town could look into having train
whistles stopped when trains come through town. It asked if whistle cessation could be implemented at Highway 831 and the 47 Ave crossing, the 50 Ave. crossing, and the 48 St. crossing. Council also had a package of information outlining what would have to happen to get CN to recommend whistle cessation. Council Doug Harvey agreed to proceed with initial information. “But, I was in Viking when they looked at a similar situation and it took more than five years to get the whistles stopped,” he said. He added he was working on a similar project in another community. “Normally the rail company is not in favour of this from a safety perspective. In addition, it takes a long time to get done.” Harvey added he’d expect the railway would have issues with the curvature of the track and angle to the roadway though Lamont. Councillor Pewarchuk stated he appreciated the information provided, but citizens had brought a concern forward and the town should speak to CN about whether it could or could not happen. “Then we can take it to the next step,” he said. “But we’ve addressed the concerns expressed by our citizens.”

Councillor Dave Taylor wondered if whistle cessation could be done just during certain hours. Harvey replied it was a safety issue and it would not likely be possible to have whistle cessation only during certain hours. Taylor also said some residents didn’t want the whistle stopped because of long memories of the school bus crash that occurred back in 1960. Administration will contact CN to see if whistle cessation was feasible. Council Taylor reported 11 students from Finland will be arriving in Lamont in May as part of an exchange program. About half a dozen Lamont students will travel to Finland in the fall. In further reporting on a school meeting he said the band room at the school is not be used for music anymore because of budget cuts. He told council it had been approved to turn it into a student lounge. The students were now seeking donations for the room … items such as a pingpong table, couches or chairs.

Councillor wants Bruderheim to take on additional snow removal BY JOHN MATHER Councillor George Campbell’s request to get extra snow removal for both Walker School and the Senior Lodge fueled quite a bit of discussion at Bruderheim council. Jan. 16. “With regards to the parking lot at the seniors lodge and at Walker School, I wondered why the town can’t clear the snow,” he said. “We have the equipment available. We have a new Bobcat.” Neither the seniors’ nor the staff at Walker School have the
resources to keep these areas clear.” He added the museum was located at Walker School and wondered why snow couldn’t be cleared. “It serves many people,” he said. “As for the seniors, they haven’t got the budget for snow removal.” Campbell added he’d like to see it become part of the town’s regular snow removal. Shir Gor Enterprises of Bruderheim currently clears the Seniors’ Centre.
Councillor Wayne Olechow had some concerns about the town competing with a private business. “I’d like to see action on this,” said Campbell. Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny said administration could look into where the town would stand competing with private business and see whether they could clear the snow. Council Patrick Crawford wanted to know if Campbell meant the entire parking lot at
Women Rising holds third successful workshop in Bruderheim JANA SEMENIUK Women Rising, a Bruderheim group whose vision is to provide support to local women in business, held its third successful workshop Jan. 17 at the Bruderheim Fire Hall. “Our workshops have attracted many different business owners in the area seeking information and support on better ways to run aspects of their businesses” said Roxanne Carr, the Women Rising committee chair. “The Women Rising Group helps to fan the flames of the local economic engine which is run by 60% women.” The workshops have been well received by various business owners including dog groomers, florists, massage therapists, chamber of commerce members as well as various local artisans. The Jan. workshop had attendees studying branding and marketing with website creative stars Amy-Lynn Taylor of OragamiECommerce
and graphic artist Val Damien of Pixels and Relish as guest speakers. Mayor Karl Hauch was on hand to begin the evening by welcoming attendees as well as thanking the committee and town staff for facilitation of the event. The idea of a group to support local women in business first came from town Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny who had attended a similar event in Fort Saskatchewan a few years ago. “I really liked the idea of a group to support local business, however I realized we had different needs being in a rural setting” she said “For instance, internet is sometimes an issue, as well as how our businesses reach out to their clients.” Once Podoborozny fine-tuned her idea, she brought the plan to Bruderheim Town Council which granted approval for use of space
in the Infinity Business Centre as well as town administrative support. Although the name suggests its information is geared specifically toward women as the target group, businessmen in the area have also found the workshops invaluable. Scott Townsend, who owns a printer toner company, a vape technology company, as well as a business coaching company, attended last week’s workshop after hearing about it through friends on Instagram. “My parents live in Chipman” said Townsend “I grew up around strong women and feel I can learn so much from the great energy in this room” Previous workshops included information on attracting your ideal client, traditional and alternative methods for financing in addition to starting up your business. The next workshop is scheduled for April 2019.
the school, and Campbell replied he did. Deputy Reeve Pat Lee wondered if the town moved ahead with this, where would it stop. “Where is the line going to crossed,” she asked. “Other groups will start asking for snow clearing.” Campbell replied, “We can’t sit on the fence forever … we should make a decision.” Councillor Len Falardeau argued that council should just deal with the two areas Campbell had brought up. Mayor Karl Hauch said there were a couple of churches that may want snow removal if council moved ahead with clearing it in other areas. Campbell said he was bringing it forward as a long-time concerned citizen. “It’s a visual concept of the area. People see the lot filled with snow they may not use the facility for fear of getting stuck.” Campbell’s motion to have administration investigate the snow removal at the seniors and Walker School site was passed with four in favour and two councillors opposed.
Council passed a policy to allow for a reserve fund to be established for major recreation facility funding. Contributions for the funds would come through levies paid by developers building new homes in the community. Under the policy developers would pay $250 per each allowable dwelling unit. When the policy had previously been brought to council the prices per developable lot would be have been $825. “Council felt that was too steep a price to pay so we’ve brought it down to $250,” said Podoborozny. She explained to council administration had found no real consistency throughout the area when studying how other communities set aside funds for recreation. “There’s a lot of different ways communities levy these funds,” she said. She agreed with council by starting with a lower fee, it could be reviewed in a few years and possibly increased. “This shows we’re doing something to start and shows we’re thinking of future generations in terms of recreation,”
said Podoborozny. She said the developer could pay the levy, or it could be passed on to the builder of the homes. “It would be up to the developer on how it was paid. It would be added to the final price of the house,” she said. The levy would not be applied to businesses. Council passed the policy. Council agreed to waive the business licence fees for small companies that were in the town’s business incubator program. The current costs for a business licence is $30 for a business located in the town and $125 for a business that comes into the community to provide services. In presenting the waiver to council, administration reported it would work as a strategy to attract more new business to the community. Council passed the motion to waive the business licences. Councillor Len Falardeau reported to council a vote had been taken to name the town’s new community park. When opened it will be the Bruderheim Cosmic Park.

Another polypropylene plant announced for the Heartland BY JOHN MATHER Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation announced on Feb. 4, it would be constructing a 550,000 tonne per annum integrated propane dehydrogenation plant and a polypropylene facility. The $4.5 billion facility will be built adjacent to Pembina Pipeline’s Redwater fractionation complex in Sturgeon County, northeast of Fort Saskatchewan. The project is a combined effort of Pembina with a 50 per cent share and Petrochemicals Industries Company K.S.C. of Kuwait. When completed in mid-2023, the plant is expected to use 23,000 barrels per day of propane from the fractionation facility to produce 550,000 metric tonnes of polypropylene annually. Polypropylene is a high value polymer that can be easily transported by truck and rail to global markets where it is
manufactured into everyday plastic products. At this time it’s not known whether a rail yard will be constructed with the plant. The project has been in the works since Pembina first announced it would undertake a joint feasibility study for the project in April 2016. Dallas, Texas-based Jacobs Engineering Corporation was selected to do front-end engineering design work in December of 2107. The Alberta Industrial Heartland welcomed the announcement; the second major facility project announcement in as many weeks. “The decision by Pembina to move forward on its PDH/PP facility is welcome news for Alberta and Canada,” said Mark Plamondon, Executive Director of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association. “World-wide demand for polypropylene is on the rise and this type of
commitment puts Alberta’s Industrial Heartland at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, bringing innovation to the North American and global marketplace.” The project will be funded in part with up to $300 million of royalty credits form the Alberta government through it Petrochemicals Diversification Program. In a government press release, it was stated the project would create up to 3,000 jobs at the peak of construction and 200 full-time operations and head office jobs on completion. The polypropylene is fully recyclable and used in the manufacture of auto parts, medical devices, food packaging, and home electronic appliances, Pembina report. Inter Pipeline is constructing the Heartland’s first polypropylene facility in Strathcona County. Construction of that facility started in 2018.

Lamont Community Fair and Perogy Festival officially closed, but may raise again MAUREEN SULLIVAN The board members of the Lamont Community Fair and Perogy Festival held their last meeting and disbanded on Jan. 29, saying goodbye to four years of hard work done by the service groups of the community. Gail Hrehorets, Chair of the Board, said that after four years of hard work that nobody had stepped up to take over the committee and it was with a sad heart that they were now disbanding. A small group of concerned citizens were at the meeting after a Facebook post from Tara Ostafichuk asking why the decision was made had been making the rounds. Ostafichuk asked why no one knew that members were needed to keep the festival going. Bill Skinner representing the Lions Club stated that the committee had advertised on Facebook, the town’s website and put an ad in the Leader asking for volunteers to step forward and had no response. Ostafichuk then asked the committee if volunteers stepped forward now would the fair go forward. "Look at the average age of this group, somewhere between the ages of 55-65, We need new blood to step forward and run things," said Vice chair Tim Bartz. The discussion between the citizens and the board seemed to be at odds at times with the general feeling of the citizens that the board was not being reasonable.
The committee went on to discuss whether the money that they currently held in trust could be put aside in case someone did step forward to plan the summer festival. It was decided that it was not a practical idea as there would not be any signing officers left to manage the funds. Discussion followed about what to do with the money and property in possession of the committee. The signs, tires and equipment bought by the committee will be stored by the town. Cash resources will be given to the Park Planning Committee and Christmas Hamper Fund. Heather Price, who was in the group of citizens, said giving away the money was a slap in the face to others who wanted to step forward and run the fair. Kirk Perrin, who also attended the meeting as a citizen, thanked the committee for all the hard work that they and the community groups represented had done for the community in the last four years. While no one on the committee would make a promise to work with a new group who wanted to continue the fair, it was not ruled out. Lorie Tarka, who represented the Lions, said, “the Lions will always support the community.” "We are sad that no one stepped forward when the opportunity was available,” said Hrehoret, “this committee and the service groups it represents spent four years working
Pre-Novice Hawks get win in Redwater JOHN MATHER Lamont’s pre-Novice Hawk travelled to Redwater, Jan. 24 and skated away with a 9-7 win. Redwater jumped out to a fast start in the game, scoring three unanswered goals. Wyatt Dalziel scored Lamont’s first goal with just seconds left in the first frame. Dalziel tied the game on a break away, after Jace Zanatta
had scored for the Hawks to close the gap to one. Dalziel ended the gamed with a total of five goals, while Zanatta added a hat trick. Zachary Mallard had a single marker for the Hawks. Maggie Moonen, Seth Cossey, and Aria Stelmach all shared goaltending duties during the game.
hard for the community. Unfortunately even though we advertised for volunteers to step forward, they did not. We wish anyone who wants to take it over the best of luck. Our minutes, vendor lists etc will be available to anyone who wishes to use them and I am sure the Town will be happy to let them access the stored equipment," Hrehoret said after the meeting was adjourned. Ostafichuk, Price and Miranda Romburgh were not deterred, making plans to go forward with a fair. Ostafichuk who grew up in Lamont
but now lives in Edmonton posted the following on Facebook. "Well I was going to start this post off by saying that I was disappointed with the outcome of Tuesday's meeting, but after taking a day to think it over, I realize this is a great opportunity for the community to come together and build something really incredible...” The individuals who did attend the meeting had a brief discussion afterwards and have agreed that they need to do their part to help keep the Perogy Festival
going. That being said they will be having a meeting on Feb.7 at 7:00 pm at Price Automotive. This meeting is mandatory for interested com-
mittee members and will determine if there is enough interest to keep the Perogy Festival going.
Chris Mintenko receives a cheque for the Lamont Hamper Committee of $2,611 from Gail Hrehorets and Tim Bartz of the disbanded Lamont Community Fair and Perogy Festival Committee.

Together, we can keep the St. Michael Landfill a clean, environmentally friendly part of our planet! The St Michael Landfill site, St. Michael Regional Solid Waste Commission is a Class II facility that accepts non-hazardous materials. Every load brought to the landfill site is weighed and directed to the proper disposal area. Household garbage goes to the working face with separate areas for; antifreeze, batteries, concrete, electronic waste, household hazardous waste, metal, plastic fertilizer bottles, oil containers, paints, tires, waste oil, waste oil filters, and wood branches. The working face is compacted daily and covered. We do not charge for household refuse generated during the routine operations of a family dwelling. We want our Lamont County residents to be able to use the landfill safely and in an environmentally sustainable way for years to come so we require proof of residency. if you are new to the Lamont County Region, please bring a copy of your tax notice, power bill, natural gas or water bill with your municipal or civic address and/or legal description, as the land owners are listed in the computer. This will allow us to make sure people from out of our area arenʼt using your landfill as dumping grounds.
Recycling Itʼs good for the health of our earth! The St Michael Landfill Site operates a basic recycling program which is being expanded. There are designated areas that allow residents to drop off of recyclable items and keep these items from being landfilled.
Here are some of the things we can recycle for you Anti-freeze Batteries Concrete E-waste (anything that plugs in) Fertilizer & Pesticide Agricultural Chemical Bottles (triple rinsed caps and booklets removed)

Malowany, 49, is a former director with the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville Wildrose Constituency Association and is currently both a provincial director and local constituency director for the Alberta
Advantage party. Rebecca Trotter, a member of the Fort Saskatchewan Rotary and owner of a property management company has agreed to be the candidate for the Green Party.

Proceeding 24102 Applications 24102-A001 to 24102-A004
ATCO Electric Ltd. has applied, under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, to rebuild the existing Transmission Line 7L65 to allow the facility to operate at full thermal capacity. Transmission Line 7L65 is located between the existing Vegreville 709S Substation and the existing Vermilion 710S Substation. ATCO Electric Ltd. is seeking approval to construct a new single-circuit 144-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. This new line will replace the existing Transmission Line 7L65, which is approximately 93 kilometres (km) in length. The rebuilt line will consist of an approximately 22-km segment (designated as Transmission Line 7L134) between the Vegreville 709S Substation and the approved Vincent 2019S Substation, and an approximately 77-km segment (designated as new Transmission Line 7L65) between the Vincent 2019S Substation and the Vermilion 710S Substation. The attached map identifies the applied-for routes, which include a preferred route and five alternative route segments (collectively called the alternate route) for new Transmission Line 7L65 and Transmission Line 7L134. The Commission may approve the preferred route, the alternate route, or a combination of the preferred route and one or more alternative route segments. ATCO Electric Ltd. is also seeking approval to alter the approved Transmission Line 7LA65, by moving the approved tap location on Transmission Line 7L65 to a point on new Transmission Line 7L65, and to alter the 19021TA3 existing 144-kV Transmission Line 7L129. The alteration of Transmission Line 7L129 would involve rebuilding approximately 800 metres of this line on double-circuit structures with new Transmission Line 7L65. The double-circuit transmission line segment would be located in the northeast quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 7, west of the Fourth Meridian.
