St. Michael Landfill receives award of excellence Michelle Pinon Editor
The St. Michael Regional Landfill has earned the distinction of being the best collection site in Alberta. Frank Rosypal, Chairman of the St Michael Regional Solid Waste Commission, said it is quite an honour to receive such recognition. “It is absolutely wonderful to be recognized by Alberta Recycling for being the best in class for medium sized landfills in the Province of Alberta.” He went on to say, “There is no doubt that this accomplishment has been a team effort starting with the St. Michael Regional Solid Waste Commission providing their support to the commission manager, who in turn, provided her support to the front line employees.” Rosypal said there have been numerous “processing improvements” in the operation of the landfill over the past two years. “Procedure changes for some are difficult to accept, however, changes are not simply made for the sake of change, but to improve the overall operation of the landfill, maintaining a focus on increasing recycling abilities for our clientele.” Some of the most recent improvements include such things as; providing the ability to recycle household hazardous waste, waste oil containers, small batteries, and tree branches.
Rosypal wanted to acknowledge one group of clients who have really embraced recycling. “Local area farmers have really tackled the direction provided by Clean Farms, addressing the recycling of herbicide and pesticide containers.” According to Clean Farms guidelines, herbicide and pesticide containers must be triple rinsed, caps and information booklets removed. “Curtis Construction, who is contracted by Clean Farms to shred the containers on site were here in late August, and the supervisor said that this landfill was the best landfill that was in compliance with direction provided by Clean Farms.” Since 2008, Alberta Recycling annually recognizes registered municipal collection sites that display excellence in the management of their electronics, paint and tire collection sites. The registered landfills must meet all of the program requirements, and at the same time make recycling convenient and MICHELLE PINON PHOTO Frank Rosypal, chair of the St. Michael Regional Solid Waste safe for their residents.

Enbridge donates $10,000 Michelle Pinon Editor
A local family literacy program literally got a financial boost from a well known community sponsor recently. The timing of the donation couldn’t have been better for Debbie Holland. Holland, Director of the Lamont County Community Adult Learning Council (CALC), said they were trying to decide what part(s) of the Play And Learn (PAL), program could be adjusted or sacrificed when along came Enbridge. “The PAL program fit perfectly with the type of community investments Enbridge supports. Their donation of $5,000 for the next two years, ($10,000 in total), has enabled us to pay a fair price for our contractors while maintaining the integrity of the program,” stated Holland. “Lisa Seeley, Public Affairs Advisor for the Western Region of Enbridge has been a delight to work with,” added Holland. “The people who are most excited are the PAL participants. Everyone who attends has positive feedback stating the program provides meaningful education. They realize they are not alone with their parenting

For some families the socialization of the parents and their children was their most critical need. No one should live in isolation.” Seeley said Enbridge is engaged in numerous educational, health, social services, arts and culture, environmental, civic leadership and volunteerism projects, and was more than pleased to be able to approve CALC’s sponsorship request. “At Enbridge, we believe in strengthening the communities where we live, work, and play. And as we continue project and maintenance work along the Mainline right-of-way, we’re proud to say that we will continue to deliver on our promise – making communities near our

projects and operations better places to live-well into the future.” CALC has been operating the PAL program since the fall of 2008. PAL is a three hour program held over six weeks twice a year serving families with children between the ages of 0 to six, and on average, PAL accommodates approximately 35 people each session. “Typically, there is a waiting list,” noted Holland. The program is held in the Bruderheim Moravian Church which allows CALC to use the facility free of charge. “Mayor Karl Hauch personally donates $3,000 to the program. Lamont County is also a financial contributor to the program.”

Below,on the far right, Plant Superintendant Dave Czank explains some of the uses of the product and displays some samples to guests. Michelle Pinon Editor
Around 100 people attended Graymont’s Lamont County Facility open house on Tuesday, Sept. 29th. Plant Superintendent Dave Czank was pleased with the turn out, especially considering it’s harvest time. “We’re continually getting busier and busier,” commented Czank. In terms of demand for the lime product, Czank said the plant, located northwest of Lamont, (Range Road 200 and Township Road 560), has increased weekly production from 80 to 100,000 tonnes per week to an average of 280 tonnes per week. Some of the biggest customers include Syncrude and Suncor, and Czank said lime is used to purify the water used by companies with SAGD operations. Alex Nguyen, account manager with Graymont in Calgary, said the Lamont County facility has the largest hydrator in North America, with most of the products being used for water treatment. Nguyen also said lime is used in agriculture to increase the ph in the soil. Lime also reduces surface crusting and soil erosion while improving water holding capacity. Lime also enhances herbicide effectiveness, and reduces toxic elements that inhibit growth.
There is plenty of space to expand the operation, Besides agriculture, lime is used for environmental remediation, in aggregates and asphalt, mining, pulp and with so many available products and markets, and paper, steel, soda ash, sodium alkali, solar grade Graymont will continue to be a dominating presence silica, uranium, zinc, and precipitated calcium car- in years to come. bonate to name a few.

Graymont can also manufacture different types of lime for a multitude of applications.

Opinion Jurors expected to work for poverty wages If you have never been summoned to be eligible for jury duty you are in for a very shocking surprise, starting with your $50/day wage, which depending on the case could amount to roughly $8 or $9 per hour paid to you for weeks. What?! The courts pay people, who we are trusting to decide the fate of a human life accused of a crime, poverty wages? It’s true. Soon they could be making half as much as your basic Walmart greeter but with the
power to send someone to prison for their entire life. Okay but they are doing a public service and a noble deed for society, so surely we must give them special accommodations and transportation to and from the court of law? Nope. Alberta courts actually suggest jurors take the transit because there is limited and expensive parking in downtown areas. I am guessing the lawyers and judges have their personal underground parking spaces, but
nothing is provided for jurors except a snack or two each day. And did I mention you could be away from work for weeks or months even? Good deal for your employer huh? You are summoned to leave your job on short notice, and your employer is left holding the bag to replace you for a completely unknown time frame with someone who they must dismiss once your trial is over. Although the employer must hold your job for this undetermined
time, the company is not liable to continue paying you during this period of jury duty. So, if you have a high mortgage and a BMW to pay for and live hand to mouth it will surely be a financial blow to serve the courts. You could literally lose thousands. Now if you decide that this jury duty thing isn’t for you, a citizen can apply for an exemption if you have a good reason for not being able to serve. Otherwise, you can be fined up to $1,000 and
thrown in jail for up to a month. So there goes your freedom of choice. While the Province’s plan is to jack minimum wage up 50 per cent in a very short time, these law-abiding citizens we rely on to decide the fate of someone accused of a serious crime we continue to treat poorly and pay poverty wages. Perhaps the government should require all businesses to continue paying employees called to jury duty, and then reimburse the company for lending the
person for this very important purpose? Being chosen to be on jury duty should be a thrill and an honour. Let’s start compensating these important citizens and begin treating them with the due respect of the task we assign to them, so that we can attract some of the very best people to the job at hand.

From Where I Sit: Their Rules
By Hazel Anaka In Alberta charities and societies have grown to rely on the proceeds of gaming to fund special projects, programming, operating costs, and other approved expenditures. Those proceeds may come through a provincial grant program or more directly through working casinos or satellite bingos. As Festival Coordinator working for a society that now has two years of community programming under its belt since incorporation, I am in the throes of applying for
our casino eligibility. The scary, sad part is that it if our application is approved, it will be about three years before our turn comes. Then the time between the first and second casino will be another two or three years. The system is far from perfect. Another big irritant to many groups is that geography determines which casino you are assigned to. Back in the day groups loved getting Fort McMurray because the money was big. Like with satellite bingo, the money is pooled and split between the participating groups who worked in a particular time period. The Camrose casino is one of the smallest and the one we would be assigned to. An Edmonton group can walk away with $80,000 from a city casino while the payout from Camrose might be only a quarter of that.
And so it was that I spent two days and nights in Camrose in July as one of five volunteers for the church-run casino. I thought it would be a good learning experience and also who couldn’t use some good karma. As someone who can count on one hand the times she’s been in a casino, everything was new. My role was cashier so I was stationed in a ‘cage’ with two other volunteers and the paid coordinator. This man was hired by the church to lead us step by step through the myriad details involved in the process. The security procedures and checks and balances that ensure no funny business by either casino employees or volunteers from the community occurs are quite impressive. We were allowed electronics like smart phones and tablets but the WiFi was patchy. The big no-
no would be attempting to take photos. A TV had been installed but I found the location in the room (above my head near the ceiling) didn’t really encourage viewing. The other volunteers had a much better room at their disposal. Because this is not a busy casino we were encouraged to take breaks as long as the
two-person minimum in the cage was satisfied. The meals available at the restaurant/lounge were excellent. I came equipped with Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Gold Finch in hand. Despite the distractions of conversation and stopping to convert chips into cash I was able
to finish that incredible book. No one anticipates that government will be changing how casinos are assigned or money is shared. So in an environment where the house usually wins, we’re prepared to play by their rules, from where I sit.

Chamber to host all candidates forum Michelle Pinon Editor
The Lamont & District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an all candidates forum in St. Michael on Wednesday, October 14th from 7-9 p.m. Chamber President Doug Sullivan said four of the five candidates in the federal riding of Lakeland have confirmed their attendance. Those candidates include: Conservative candidate Shannon Stubbs, NDP candidate Duane Zaraska, Liberal candidate Garry Parenteau Liibertarian candidate Robert McFadzean. Green Party candidate Danielle Montgomery has also been invited to participate, and Sullivan is currently waiting for her confirmation. Sullivan said several of the candidate forums are being hosted by Chambers of Commerce, and he is expecting to have about 100 people attend the event. He points out that, “This would be the closest forum for the southern end of Thorhild County, and as far
east as Two Hills.” Sullivan added, “The Chamber is a natural host for events such as these since we are representative of the business community and we all have a vested interest in assisting the local community to gather as much information as possible in order to make an informed choice when voting.” In terms of the order of things for the forum, Sullivan said candidates will present themselves to the chair to draw for order of speaking at 6:45 p.m. Sullivan will offer words of welcome at 7 p.m., and moderator Cathy Goulet will offer opening remarks and read the rules and regulations for the forum. Each of the candidates will be given five minutes to present their opening statements. That will be followed by a question and answer period. The moderator will field written questions and take questions from the floor as time permits, until about 8:40 p.m. Candidates will then have three minutes apiece to make their closing remarks. Sullivan said donations to the Lamont County Food Bank will be greatly appreciated.
Cenovus donates office furniture SUBMITTED ARTICLE Cenovus’ purchase of the former Canexus plant just east of Bruderheim was finalized only one month ago, and already the company has proven its sup-
port to the Town by donating $3,000 worth of surplus office furniture. “This donation by Cenovus, a new company operating in our area, goes a very long way in demonstrating to our residents its commitment to the communities it

operates in and around,” says Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch. Fifteen very useful items were donated, including storage units, a variety of desks, meeting tables and filing units. “Our previous furniture was 10-20 years old, none of it matching and some of it broken, so it was definitely time for an upgrade. We are very grateful for Cenovus’ generous donation—a big thank you to them on behalf of our town council and staff. It will benefit the morale and operations of our office staff and help to ensure that our appearance matches our
professional work ethic when customers and visitors come to the office.” The Town of Bruderheim looks forward to continuing its partnering with Cenovus in the future,” noted Hauch.

New members would put extra boots on the ground Michelle Pinon Editor
Doug Pewarchuk feels a personal approach to crime prevention is in order, and the Lamont resident says he will soon be applying to join Heartland Citizens On Patrol (COP). “At this point I’m just doing this as a private citizen,” stated Pewarchuk, who is also hoping other residents will take an interest and join this regional organization. Pewarchuk believes a “global approach” to crime prevention is needed, and that getting involved is not that complicated. A person simply files an application, and then clears the RCMP security check. Training of volunteers is provided prior to going out on patrol. Providing an extra pair of eyes and ears, is a great way to be aware of what is going on in the community, adds Pewarchuk. COP also assists the RCMP. Cst. Morris, the liaison between the RCMP and Heartland
Citizens On Patrol, says even a few hours a month can make a huge difference in communities. Cst. Morris said they will be doing more outreach in the communities of Bruderheim and Lamont by hosting the Heartland COP monthly meetings in those communities. The next COP meeting will be Doug Pewarchuk held on Tuesday, October 27th at the Bruderheim Fire Hall at 7 p.m., and the Lamont hall lobby on Tuesday, November 24th at 7 p.m. Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch is a member of Heartland COP, and says he became involved with the organization last fall. “I became involved with
the COP, mainly through my desire make our community a safer place to live, as have volunteers from Bruderheim and Fort Saskatchewan. Hauch commends Fort Saskatchewan Mayor Gail Katcher for backing the initiative right from its beginning, and says she also has provided funds from her own mayors budget to assist in the purchase of insurance through the Alberta Citizens On Patrol Association. Heartland COP also has joined the Alberta COPA. Hauch also commends the Strathcona COP for assisting the Heartland COP. Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Detachment Commander Craig O’Neill as well as Cst. Morris have been of great assistance. “Without their support, this group would not have gotten off the ground,” noted Hauch. “It was determined early on by our group that we would call ourselves the Heartland Citizens On Patrol, so that if other communities wished to join, there would be nothing holding them back.”

Candles are a serious fire hazard in Alberta homes. Used safely, candles can fill our homes with fragrance and create a relaxing atmosphere. But what you may not realize is how easily a fire can start when a candle is left unattended or left burning while someone sleeps. Value Drug Mart reminds you to practice candle safety when you light candles in your home. Stay Safe, Stay Alive!

Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

18 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, October 6, 2015
Class still out on school fees, but reduction in sight, says MLA Littlewood Michelle Pinon Editor Even though the elimination of school fees was one of the Alberta NDP’s promises during the spring election, parents are still on the hook for this year’s expenses. Jessica Littlewood, NDP Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA, said: “That (school fees), is still a promise that will be followed through on.” “The issue at hand is that due to school board autonomy, there is not an easy way to cover the fees in time this year without the Education Minister having all of the relevant information that would show who charges what, and what that total cost would be.” She went on to say, “Minister David Eggan has asked for each school board to submit to him what each charges and for what to ensure that reduction of school fees is done fairly and equitably. Minister Eggan has restored $103 million dollars to the education budget that was given to boards with the intent of funding teachers and educational assistants.” Littlewood has heard the frustration from parents regarding this issue in recent months. “There are mandatory fees such as textbooks, lunch supervision, and bussing. Minister Eggan restored grant funding for student bussing that had been removed from the previous government’s budget. I have
payments, royalties, corporate tax, and income tax. Income taxes make up 23 per cent of our budget revenue and 12 per cent is made up by corporations. The downturn of oil prices has also caused a larger deficit of $5.9 billion dollars, Littlewood pointed out. “This requires a careful examination of school fees. Albertans expect fiscal responsibility from this new NDP government, and responsibility means having all the numbers.” Trina the nation ool fees across A snapshot of sch Boymook, chair of the 2012 school fees per student $424.27 Elk Island P u b l i c $239.86 $221.76 Schools $115.25 $77.84 board of $36.32 $21.84 $0 $0.07 $12.11 trustees, stated that “no changes 5-year trend or direction” Fees rose 300 Alberta regarding 193% 200 in Alberta school fees 100 The Canadian average 0 have come increased by 65% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 from the p r o v i n c ial From ATA News.
learned that in some parts of the province bussing costs the school board $30,000.” After school boards submit their school fee expenses, Littlewood said then the government will know how much the overall cost will be. As to where the funds will come from, Littlewood replied they would come out of the education budget. “This budget is paid for with our revenue: investment income, federal transfer

government for the 2015’16 school year. “The Education Minister is currently collecting information from each board about the types of fee charged to determine what, if any, direction the government will provide regarding school fees for 2016-2017 or later. The EIPS 2015-’16 budget, presented to the board of trustees on June 29th includes informa-
tion about the anticipated amount of fees to be collected for the 2015-’16 school year. “The 20152016 budget includes total fees of approximately $6.4 million.“ pointed out Boymook. “We will continue to work with Alberta Education and the Minister when any direction is provided regarding the regulation of school fees. We would
expect that we will be financially compensated by the government for any negative effect a reduction of school fees may have. One could expect a reduction in service if we don’t receive financial compensation from the government in the regulation of certain types of fees,” stated Boymook. School fees are due in full on October 31st.
