Subject: Exciting Star Trek XI Premiere Update Greetings Star Trek XI - Help bring Spock home to Vulcan, Alberta group members..... I have some exciting and promising news to update you with: On Tuesday morning (Feb 12), I was invited to participate in a conference call with Executives from Paramount Pictures Canada; and, I am happy to report that Vulcan's movie premiere proposal has been well received. Although it is too soon to know if the premiere will happen in Vulcan, the Paramount officials I spoke with indicated that they like the idea and, they will be contacting their offices in the US about it. In a nutshell - our proposal is being discussed and considered!!!! Needless to say we are thrilled with this development, and of course will keep you posted as we learn more. In the meantime, because we now know that Paramount is watching, AND because the premiere's coming to Vulcan is not yet a "done deal", I encourage you to invite all to your friends to join our Facebook group to show your support for Vulcan's goal to host the premiere of Star Trek XI in December 2008. Peace & Long Life, Dayna

Star Trek XI update Happy Valentine's Day! This morning I received an email from our contact at Paramount, informing us that Star Trek XI's release date has been pushed back to May 2009. This news does not impact Vulcan's proposal to host the premiere - it does, however, mean we would be able to plan an even bigger, community-wide event, without the same risk of a December snowstorm to hamper the festivities. Stay tuned - spread the word about our Facebook group, and keep your fingers crossed. We will keep you posted as things develop. Yours in Trekdom, Dayna

Dec 28, Did You Know This?

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:32:20 GMT

Did You Know? There are 2680 gas wells and 530 oil wells in the County of Vulcan. The first well was drilled in 1929 (named Well One) by Alberta Gas & Fuel east of the town of Vulcan. OIL & GAS: A Mile Below the Wheat Lets travel below the earths surface, into the crust, a mile below the wheat. To find black gold oil and its partner natural gas both plentiful resources in the County of Vulcan. As you travel through the County of Vulcan youll see stretches of cropland local farmers plant and harvest each year, but the resource far below the surface has taken millions of years to form. This valuable & versatile reserve came from prehistoric plants and animals. Their decomposition and great pressure by rocks inside the Earths crust led to the formation of hydrocarbon compounds in the form of crude oil and natural gas, trapped in porous rock.
