Lamont County proposing a new direction regarding fire services Michelle Pinon Editor
As Lamont County Councillor Roy Bryks described as the “ongoing saga” of fire services, the issue was front and center during the Jan. 12 council meeting. All, but one of the urban municipalities within Lamont County have agreed to extend its fire services agreement until Dec. 31, 2015. The one municipality that has decided to withdraw from the agreement is the Village of Chipman. The Village of Chipman indicated in a letter to Lamont County that it is willing to operate under the expired agreement until March 31, 2015. Lamont County’s Chief Administrative Officer Al Harvey presented a request for decision before coun-
cil which contained five different options. Coun. Bryks made the motion, “That Lamont County council direct administration to review the current fire agreement and take a new direction controlling the budget with all municipalities and in the event that one municipality goes on their own; the option to move equipment and manpower to another location and rewrite the agreement with the remaining municipalities.” The motion passed unanimously. While “informal suggestions” had been discussed by Harvey and Lamont County Chief and Emergency Services Co-ordinator Randy Siemens, nothing formal had been presented to council before the Jan. 12 meeting. With possible changes in regards to financing and budgeting, Harvey said it would be a change from
the current practice and “municipalities might have a problem with that,” added Harvey. Having control of the purse strings and firefighters becoming employees of the county would be some of changes the county is proposing. the question of what is decided in Chipman also had Harvey wondering if they wanted to change our fire area, set up our own fire department and operation elsewhere. The possibility of using the county’s grader shop in Chipman to house the county trucks was suggested, and Public Works Director Harold Hamilton said that could be done on an interim basis. Reeve Wayne Woldanski said they should meet with the Village of Chipman to start discussions. Coun. Roy Anaka said they should also be meeting with Lamont and Mundare as well.

Accident closes Highway 15 for eight hours
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Traffic was backed up on Highway 15 for a long stretch Tuesday evening. This shot was taken from Range Road 203 facing east towards the Bruderheim turnoff around 7:30 p.m. A tow truck and clean up crews spent the next few days cleaning up the accident scene. On Jan. 12 at 6:48 p.m. the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP responded to a 911 call of a collision on Highway 15 at Range Road 203 involving two semi-trucks. As a result of a chemical spill, Fort Saskatchewan RCMP closed Highway 15 between Highway 45 and Range Road 202. With the assistance of the Lamont Fire Department and clean
up crews the spill was contained, and vehicles were moved off the highway and clean up of the spill began. Preliminary investigation indicates that a semi-truck traveling eastbound slowed as a result of a vehicle turning into a residential driveway. The semitruck came to a stop; however a second semitruck traveling eastbound was unable to
stop in time resulting in the collision. The indi-
viduals involved were cleared by EMS at the
scene and suffered no known injuries. Road conditions are believed to be a contributing factor in the accident. Anyone who may have
witnessed the collision is asked to contact the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-992-6100 or call Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.

Lamont County council discusses water options for St. Michael Michelle Pinon Editor
The topic of the St. Michael water treatment plant was back on county council's agenda on Tuesday, Jan. 12th Chief Administrative Officer Al Harvey presented a six page report to council wading through the operating standards and requirements in regards to regulatory upgrades that must be completed by Dec. 31, 2016. Those possible alternatives included: *Upgrading to the existing system. *Replace the existing plant with another one and a truck fill. *Replace the existing plant with a regional waterline, a reservoir, and a truck fill. *Replace the existing plant with a reservoir and truck fill and then look to have the regional line added when available. *Decommission the plant and well and inform residents that they will be responsible for their own water. “We have budgeted $107,000 for this exercise but have not retained engineers nor have
developed tenders as present, as we are awaiting a decision of council on the future of the plant,” stated Harvey, in his report. Even though the county has applied for a grant, coun. Dan Warawa said it was highly unlikely there would be any grant money available from the province. Coun. Roy Anaka agreed. “It’s directly tied to the price of oil.” Coun. Warawa added that if the county did put money into upgrades, they would probably not get the money back in a timely fashion. Harvey concurred. “There’s no money in the program....if money does come into the system there will be a backlog and I wouldn’t hold my breath.” “Coun. Anaka won-

dered if there was enough water to drill a deep well in the area. But with the costs of drilling, coun. Warawa said residents would be no better off, and suggested the county give a $5,000 grant to each resident to dig their own hole. Reeve Wayne Woldanski wondered if there was an obligation by the county to provide any funding? The idea of residents reverting back to a water co-operative system was bounced around as well. Coun. Anaka suggested that when the 10 year license expires that residents would be on their own in regards to water supply and service. Council also tossed around the idea of upgrading or a regional waterline, how they would be financed. Harvey said a debenture should be over the life of
the plant, and some municipalities implement a special local improvement tax or water levy to residents. Coun. Warawa said residents shouldn’t get their hopes up at this point in time. Coun. Roy Bryks said he can’t understand why upgrades are so expensive, (somewhere in the neighbourhood of $4 million. Reeve Woldanski asked council if they wanted to make a decision, and Harvey suggested they defer the item subject to information based on the availability of a deep well, and costs of upgrading the existing facility in order to meet environmental standards. Council agreed to defer the item.

Council waives fire invoice Michelle Pinon Editor
A Mundare family of five on a limited income is asking Lamont County to waive a $1,600 invoice for expenses associated with fighting a fire to a wood shed on their property which happened this past October. Leanne Almond wrote in a letter addressed to council that her husband Gerald Rowe is on AISH (......), that she is currently unable to work, and they also have a special needs child in addition to their four other children and trying to make ends meet on a budget of $1,690 a month. Almond said their insurance company did not cover the loss, and AISH is not able to assist either. In her letter she stated, “The loss of the building and contents alone has set us back
immensely. We lost power chairs, support aids, asthema equipment, tools, building materials, and so much more.” Almond went on to say, “This has been an extremely emotional and stressful experience for all of us. We are truly blessed to have such beautiful and caring people in our community. If you would help us by waiving this invoice we would greatly appreciate it.” Coun. Dan Warawa commented that he had met them once, that Gerald Rowe was a “hard working guy” and he felt sorry about the circumstances they find themselves in at the moment. Other members of council were sympathetic and all agreed to support Warawa’s motion to waive the charges.

Former Mundare hockey player to participate in World’s Longest Game to raise money for cancer Michelle Pinon Editor
A former Mundare resident and hockey player will be taking to the ice to participate in the World's Longest Hockey Game in support of cancer research and treatment. Clint Moroziuk, will be strapping on the goalie pads to help raise money during the 10 day affair near Sherwood Park that goes from February 616th at Saiker's Acres. Moroziuk explained there will be over 240 hours of continuous hockey played and players rotate on and off in
shifts. "All players must remain on site for the duration of the game, which means that they are sleeping in trailers or campers and are spending a great deal of time away from their families. I'ts a huge commitment for the players and a big sacrifice for their families, but it's worth it when you think about what we are going to accomplish to advance cancer treatment with this event." When it comes to commitment, Moroziuk has already made a huge commitment by foregoing vacation time to play in the game. Moroziuk
just began in the role of human services director at for Elk Island Catholic School this past summer, and decided to give of himself for the event because "it is a cause in which I sincerely believe," added Moroziuk. He went on to say, "We have all been affected by cancer and I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to supporting cancer treatment and the Alberta Cancer Foundation in a very tangible and significant way." Moroziuk said cancer has impacted nearly everyone in some way.
"If they (people) have not personally struggled with the disease, it is likely that either a family member or friend has. My wife was diagnosed and successfully treated during the summer of 2009, my mother passed away from cancer in 2010 and my grandfather in 1989. They both fought long, difficult battles and it was very hard watching the power of this disease. Over the years, I've had many extended family members and friends struggle with cancer and I think that we need to do all that we can to help in the global effort to fight the disease." His family and coworkers have been extremely supportive, and several have pledged their support. "A number of them have personally battled cancer or have had family members pass away from the disease, so it's a cause that hits pretty close to home." Speaking of home, Clint's brother Cliff will be volunteering "in any way he can" during the longest game. Clint can use all the support he can get, and has set a personal fundraising goal of $10,000 so that the Cross Cancer Institute will be able to purchase the PET-MR scanner. "In this case, PET-MR
is the next generation of PET imaging - sophisticated technology that can help doctors and researchers understand the biology and metabolism of cancer, offering unique insights into the behaviours of cancers, how they respond to treatment, and why treatments fail. PET-MR will also improve the accuracy of radiation therapy delivery. Scans can be performed with 50 per cent less radiation exposure to patients. Radiation exposure is a source of concern for any patient, but must be monitored with particular care for pediatric and young adult patients, who are still growing and developing, as well as adults who need multiple scans during treatment. Obviously, we hope that we can proactively work to prevent cancer, but it's nice to know that this machine will be there to
provide this cutting edge treatment when it is needed." Moroziuk is optimistic he will be able to reach his personal goal. "I am hopeful that this will happen. It would be nice to go into the game having reached my goal during the course of the game, and I invite people to come out and watch the action. It's very inspiring to see the commitment and the breadth of what we are trying to accomplish. I would welcome donations and words of encouragement. Readers can view my fundraising page at albertacancer.ca/clintm”
Enbridge donates $10,000 for county’s emergency services dept. Lamont Alberta, January 16, 2015: On January 14, 2015, Enbridge presented Lamont County Emergency Services with a cheque for $10,000. Lisa Seely, Public Affairs Advisor for Enbridge’s Western Region, presented the cheque to council members and Chief Randy Siemens.”The donation is made as part of Enbridge’s Safe Community program, which provides donations to emergency services organizations that are working to make their communities safer,” Seely stated. According to their website, the Enbridge Safe Community program was launched in 2002 in the United States and 2009 in Canada. It awards grants to local firstresponse emergency services in communities along the company’s project corridor rights-of-way. Since its inception Enbridge has invested $7 million
in North American emergency responder organizations. This donation will be used to go towards a new firefighting simulator called the Attack Digital Fire Training System, for the Lamont County Emergency Services Training Center. “The simulator ensures that we can train over 300 days a year, compared to current training days with water of 150,” stated Chief Siemens. “It puts smoke and heat into the room and uses video screens to simulate fire on the walls and over the roof to provide realistic responses to the laser directed by the hose, which is filled with steel beads to make the hose feel like the real thing.” Lamont County Emergency Services also received $10,000 from Enbridge last year, which was also used for the Training Centre.

Elk Island Public Schools announces its new superintendent and chief executive Sherwood Park: Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that Mark Liguori has been appointed as the new Superintendent of Schools and Chief Executive Officer effective Feb-ruary 2, 2015. Mr. Liguori’s appointment follows extensive feedback from parents, students, staff, and community members on what they believed were the qualities, competencies, and characteristics necessary for a Superintendent to be effective. “It became clear that it was a priority to select a leader with integrity, strong previous experience in a school system, and strength in addressing the challenges of classroom size and student needs,” notes Board
Chair Trina Boymook. “Mark’s proven leadership record; his solid school classroom experience at the elementary, junior high, and senior high levels; as well as his ability to effectively work with administrators and staff will be extremely valuable for EIPS, and we look forward to his contributions as we work together to meet student needs.” Mr. Liguori has over 25 years of experience in education. He has served as a principal at two junior high schools and one senior high school as well as the Director of Human Resources for Edmonton Public Schools. For the past number of years, Mark has been the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Edmonton Public Schools, where he
was responsible for the planning, organizing, control, and activities of more than 50 schools. Mr. Liguori attended the University of Alberta where he earned a Bachelor of Physical Education degree (sports administration), a Bachelor of Education after degree (elementary education), and a Master of Education in Educational Studies degree (leadership and school improvement). “EIPS has much to celebrate, and I am excited to be part of its path as it embraces the future,” says Liguori. “I believe a strong public education system builds strong communities, and I am looking forward to serving the staff, parents, community, and especially the students of EIPS in the years ahead.”
Mr. Liguori was born and raised in Alberta, grew up in the public education system, and is an active and avid outdoorsman. He and his wife Valerie, who also works in education, have three children, ages 20, 18, and 15. Associate Superintendent Karla Satchwell will be Acting Superintedent of EIPS for January 3 to February 1, 2015. EIPS is one of Alberta’s largest school divisions, serving approximately 16,700 students in 42 schools. We are proud to be an integral part of our communities, including Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville, Strathcona and Lamont counties, and the western portion of the County of Minburn.

Move In slated for Spring Break Michelle Pinon Editor
All “they” can do is wait. The “they” are: students, parents, teachers, and community members who have been waiting for the past four-anda-half months for the new school in Mundare to open. Contractor Govan Brown is still on the job, and Alberta Infrastructure recognizes the delays, but is waiting like everyone else. “We recognize the project is delayed and are working closely with the contractor and school board to get the school completed as quickly as possible,” stated spokesperson Tracy Larsen. Larsen went on to say, “Delays are due to extra soil remediation work that was required before construction could begin and the competitive environment (which drives the cost of materials and labour) have contributed to a small cost over-run. The exact amount will not be
known until the project is finalized, however, these costs will be covered by
and timeline as well as the budget. “Our students continue to study
15013KA1
contingency funds built into the contract.” Ed Brassard, site superintendent with Govan Brown, confirmed that the architect did a final inspection last week, and 95 per cent of the work has been completed. The target move in date is slated for Spring Break which runs from March 30 to April 2. Trina Boymook, board chair for Elk Island Public Schools, verified that Alberta Infrastructure is the project manager, and oversee the construction process
and learn in our current school building, and they are eagerly anticipating the move over to the new school...Our school community is anxious for the new school to be complete as is the larger Mundare community.” “We will be planning an official grand opening event as soon as we have finalized dates for making the move into the new building, and we’re looking forward to sharing our beautiful, new Mundare School with the community of Mundare.”

Opinion From Where I Sit: Rx Have Fun
By Hazel Anaka When a person isn’t quite feeling up to par but doesn’t present with any handy dandy recognizable symptoms either, there are two courses of action.
One: Chalk up the malaise to getting older, utter some concerned tsk tsks, compare notes with your friends, and then promptly forget about it. Two: Believe that things can always be better and you deserve more. (Like Eubie Blake said: “If I’d have known I was going to live this long I’d have taken better care of myself.”) Listen to the nagging clues your body may be offering. Be open minded enough to look beyond traditional medicine and accept help where you find it. I’ve been a proponent of both options. Of course it’s easier to seek
Issues... Issues aren't issues until you are directly and personally affected by those issues. Issues surrounding fire services have been brought into focus for about a month now with concerned firefighters and residents showing up to council meetings in Andrew and Chipman to hear first hand from elected officials what they have to say on the matter, and how they intend on addressing those issues. It’s still puzzling why those village’s respective fire chiefs were not personally notified in advance, but they (the fire chiefs) attended the Dec. 10th Village of Andrew council meeting and the Jan. 12th Village of Chipman
council meeting to have their questions answered. As far as residents are concerned not only do they want to be in the know, maybe even have a say, before issues are discussed, options outlined, and game plan put in place. When “it’s a done deal” and decisions have been made on their behalf, it’s at that point time there’s a feeling of no turning back. Elected officials would argue that if citizens want to know what’s happening then they should attend council meetings. For citizens, it’s not always possible or convenient to attend those council meetings , and therein lies the rub.

offering a two-sentence summary of a complicated, months long process. During a subsequent visit, in addition to new supplements, I got a ‘prescription’ to have fun. I realize that may sound hokey. It was only partly tongue in cheek. It was a reminder that having fun, laughing, relaxing, and taking everything less seriously could affect my wellbeing. The challenge tickled my fancy and led me to the dollar store. I don’t often wear my glasses/big nose/furry eyebrows prop but just having it on my desk makes me smile. I also
out chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and more if you have the extended health coverage that makes it more affordable. It was with this in mind that I sought out the expertise of a naturopath last February. I wanted an assessment of my health status. Tests showed I am carbohydrate intolerant and am dumping excess histamine as a result. Over time, through modifying diet and use of supplements my numbers came much closer to where they should be. That may or may not be interesting in and of itself. And of course I’m only
opted for a tiny magic wand—who doesn’t need one of those—-that sits nearby in a pencil cup. I watch Big Bang Theory so I can laugh out loud several times in a half hour. I’m also working on a jigsaw puzzle, playing spider solitaire, and practicing yoga. Spending time with Grady ensures giggle fits. Most of these things don’t cost a thing other than the willingness to do them. What cost considerably more was buying tickets to the Just for Laughs comedy tour that came to Edmonton last fall. Four comedians, Demetri Martin, Jon
Dore, Levi MacDougall, and Todd Glass had us laughing and engaged for a couple of hours. Naturally there were moments of insight as these characters gave us a look into their wacky perspectives. I’m not sure how many drugs you have to take to think like that but hey, whatever it takes to make us laugh. Because we can’t store up laughs, the Rx should have specified: Funthree times per day or as required to relieve the pain of everyday life, from where I sit.
Letter to the Editor Decision to publish dog breeder story repluses reader Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the article that was published regarding the Lamont man who received jail time for a crime. I cannot express the amount of disgust I have with the publishing department of the newspaper. That article is not news, it is gossip. It is not relevant to the citizens of Lamont whatsoever. This man has children in school in the local area

and because of this article being published; they will now be suffering the consequences for their father’s actions. I am not sure if you are aware of how big of a problem bullying has become these days, especially in a small school. In 2011, 31 children ages of 10-14 took their own lives. Since 2011, this number continues to grow. By publishing that article you are going to be the cause of bullying for these poor innocent children. My heart goes

out to this family. Shame on you. Regardless that you were granted permission from the Westlock News, does not mean it is smart to publish it. You need to give your heads a shake. What is it monkey see monkey do? Are you just following in suit to the Westlock News? We are a small town, a community; not the Edmonton Journal. This is completely unacceptable and repulsive. If anything happens to those poor children it is on your

Artist share talents SUBMITTED BY MUNDARE SCHOOL Three very talented ladies from the Vegreville Visual Artists group gave of their time and shared their talents with our Junior Highs at Mundare School this fall. Starting with Marg Varga in October, followed by Diane Fausak in November and finally Lois Bienvenue in December, these wonderful artisans not only brought in samples of their work to share with the kiddos but explained the process and then gave them a lesson they could take home as well! Marg Varga showed her beautiful fused glass creations and had the students make a mosaic using cellophane and tissue paper (the actual fused glass process involves much work and a kiln!). Diane Fausak brought in her lifelike floral paintings and had the students use actual canvas and easels to create a poppy of their own. Lois Bienvenue wowed the students with her barn wood framed sketches and had them sketch a picture from their minds. Teacher Tracy Doerksen is greatly appreciative of the VVAĂs willingness to become involved in sharing their art with her students and hopes to facilitate more visits in the future. We are so lucky and grateful to have such immensely talented artists in our community and so blessed to have them willing to share their passion and teach the next generation.

While their attire didn’t improve their game the Wild Horse Ventures team had tons of fun in Lamont this past weekend.

Grader purchased The weather is anything but predictable. Being prepared is essential, whether it’s as a resident or a municipality, and the Town of Lamont is no exception. So when the town’s grader started failing, public works and council took decisive action to purchase another grader, and submitted a tender bid that was recently accepted. Now the town owns a 2008 John Deere 872 D Grader that is ready to go to work. Town foreman Richard Chernyk said the unit was tested during the last snowfall and is working just fine. Chernyk expects to pick up the grader in the coming days, and that the only thing to do is remove the ripper and snow wing before it hits the streets. “We are looking to purchase a snow gate,” added Chernyk. Both public works and council agreed not to invest any more monies into the repair of the town’s 1988 Champion730A Grader during a special meeting on Dec. 15, 2014. According to the minutes of that meeting, “The town has spent to date approximately $14,000 on the old grader in 2014 and have an estimated cost for the repairs to have it up and running at $6,100.” The town’s tender bid with a slight adjustment to the equipment was purchased for $131,250 from Lamont County. Monies for the purchase will come out of the town’s 2015 capital budget.

AIHA receives global excellence award Expert research and efforts to attract investment dollars from around the globe have earned Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA) an IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Award. This respected industry award program highlights organizations and individuals who use information and research in innovative ways to reach their business goals. “Companies looking to invest multi billions of dollars conduct extensive research in their decision making process. This includes reviewing business cases, touring the Heartland, and comparing statistics on our region to other industrial areas in the world,” explains Wayne Woldanski, chair of AIHA. “The credible, expert research we provide to companies is a key tool in attracting these investment dollars.” Attracting global investment requires providing information to investors. It also means seeking out companies who may not already know about the Heartland region. AIHA used research to identify Alberta’s most competitive chemical products. The results then helped target specific companies who are most likely to invest in the region. “The investment climate is competitive, so we can’t always wait for investors to come to us,” shares Neil Shelly, Executive Director of AIHA. “By targeting specific companies, we’ve generated over a dozen foreign investment company tours of Heartland in the past few years, with about half returning for a

Snowflake Gala playground fundraiser set to sparkle in Andrew Michelle Pinon Editor
Volunteers with the Andrew School Parent Council Foundation and Andrew Agricultural Society are teaming up to raise funds for a new community playground. On Saturday, Jan. 31 the foundation and society are co-hosting the Snowflake Gala, an adult
only formal event at the Andrew Community Centre to raise funds for the new playground. “We are hoping to have support from our community members and neighbours to make this event yet another huge success. Our volunteers are working hard on al the fine details to make this event enjoyably unique for all that attend,” said foundation
chair Tammy Pickett. “From the decorations to the entertainment, it is all being enhanced with our guests in mind. Our Snowflake Gala is a black tie event with a full catered supper and live band. There will be a silent auction, wine grab, rose pull, photo booth and tons of socializing. But most of all, our volunteers and guests will feel the satisfaction
in knowing they have helped the children in our community rebuild their cherished playground so they too, can continue to make memories with friends in an imaginative environment just as we all did as children together in the great outdoors. Let’s give them a reason to stay unplugged,” added Pickett. Tammy Evans, first
vice president of the ag. society said 100 per cent of the evening’s proceeds will go towards replacement of the playground. I know the kids are extremely excited about having a new playground,” added Donna McIntyre, parent council foundation treasurer. “We at the school are very happy to see our enrollment increasing in the elementary grades,”
stated Principal Daniel Verhoeff. “A new playground would be another excellent draw for young families to choose Andrew as a community they would like to raise a family in.” Tickets are now available for sale. To book a table or purchase tickets contact members of ag. society.

MEMORIAM
Noreen Stumbo July 17, 1953 January 19, 2013 Little did we know that morning, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Missed by your family Barry, Ashley, Matt and Adria TM03p ________________________

Councillor’s Corner Council Notes from the January 13 Council Meeting
Bridge Weight Restrictions Your County Council
Fire Agreement The current fire agreement has expired and in most cases extended for 2015. The Office of the Fire Commissioner has provided a report of suggestions on how our fire agreements should proceed. Council will provide the Fire Commissioner’s recommendations to the municipalities for review and the County will draft a new fire agreement based on the report, the draft to be presented to council at their March meeting. Options for County Regarding Fire Services Research based on other municipalities, and the Office of the Fire Commissioner’s report, have brought forward multiple options regarding the organization of County Fire Services. Lamont County will review a new direction for the fire agreement, taking control of the fire budget within all the municipalities. In the event of a municipality choosing to go on their own, the County will move equipment and man power to another location and rewrite the agreement with remaining municipalities. As Chipman has indicated their intent to cease fire services to the County as of March, Lamont County will meet with the Village of Chipman council to discuss Fire Services in the Chipman area. St. Michael Water License Alberta Environment requires a plan for water plant upgrades in St. Michael to be submitted by December 2015. Engineers’ reports and public consultation has brought forth many possible options for council to consider. Council will defer a decision until further research is done on alternatives available for deeper wells in the area and the requirements and costs necessary to bring the current water treatment building and plant to code. Gravel Supply Lamont County has been looking for contractors to supply gravel to the county for 2015. Trevor Schinkinger can supply ~30K tonnes of 20mm road gravel at $15/tonne (plus $0.25/tonne for loading and scaling.) JMB Crushing Systems can supply 20K tonnes of 20mm road gravel for $16.50/tonne, with loading and scaling being negotiated. Hardrock gravel can supply ~30K-40K of 20mm road gravel at $14.88/ tonne and 10-15k tonne of 2-16mm gravel at $16.50 per tonne, for the 2015 oil program. Lamont County has agreed to the contracts with Trevor Schinkinger, JMB Crushing and Hardrock Gravel to supply gravel for the 2015 gravel and oil programs. Fire Invoice On October 4, 2014, a structure fire occurred to which Mundare fire responded. The structure was lost, and insurance will not cover the costs of fire services; therefore the land owner was invoiced. A request that the invoice for $1600 be waved, was made by the land owner on the grounds that it would cause financial hardship to their family. Council has decided to waive the charges for fire invoice #14-408.
