4 M ay 9'19 Ha NNa /CORONa TION/STETTLER, a B. ECa REVIEW Alix Traffic Bylaw review completed Terri Huxley ECA Review The final three parts of the village of Alix Traffic Bylaw was read and discussed, completing the mulimeeting overview of the bylaw. Alix Council met on Wed. May 1 for their regular meeting, bringing forward a few last items to the table. Although the review is over, residents have time to converse with council on their thoughts towards the various changes brought forward to update this particular bylaw. The bylaw passed first and second reading at the meeting and will be brought back at a future date for third reading. Changes include things like the school zone being changed to a dusk until dawn playground zone to limit confusion as to times where traffic is allowed to speed up and slow down near the school and other designated areas. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Michelle White mentioned she will be looking farther into this with the scope set on all designated areas within the village limits to see where signs would be appropriate and what limits are acceptable to ‘have some uniformity there.’ Penalties have been tentatively changed to reflect more intense prices in hopes of limiting infractions within the village. Any person in contravention to the rules can be fined between $50 and $1,000 depending on the type of offense. Council felt that the section of ‘Parking a vehicle carrying dangerous goods on any non-designated highway’ was too low at only $100 for the first offence. They agreed to bump it up to $250 for the first offense, $500 for the second, and $1,000 for the third in the name of public safety. Lacombe County peace officers are the village’s designated officers with the ability to fine people with tickets or warnings under the village’s bylaw. Library board report Coun. Barb Gilliat shared minutes from the recent Alix Public Library meeting held in the middle of April. Mayor Rob Fehr and Coun. Gilliat attended. The mayor asked to speak to a concern that had been raised by a number of people regarding how the library services are being delivered. He suggested that if no evaluations are being done that they should be considered by the board. Dwight Nagel, vice-chair, was appreciative of Mayor Fehr’s request but felt the village should have brought the complaints to the board. Jean McDermand also added that ‘We don’t always know what is going on in the library and don’t see how patrons are behaving.’ a jug band at the Coronation Evangelical Free Church fundraiser on Sat. May 4 at the Drop In Centre in Coronation entertained with toe-tapping music involving many from the audience, including, in front, Chris Goodbrand and Curtis Perry, Lois Grout on the drum and in the background, Pastor Clayton Grice, Dan Kinakin, Sonja Smith and Rod Klassen.

ECA Review/Submitted Easter treats, after-school fun by Zac Rochon Students and staff at the Hughenden Public School (HPS) combined the annual Cake Walk for elementary students with after school activities for students on April 18 to enjoy before the spring break. Each year just before Easter, HPS staff and parents join forces to organize the popular Cake Walk, in which elementary students get to spend the last part of their day competing in activities in the gym for their choice of sweet and pretty prizes. Grade 7 students Dillan Dambrowsky and William Stringer were supervising and helping to keep things running smoothly during the event. “The kids had a lot of fun and were very happy after they got their cake,” said Dambrowsky. “I feel the elementary loved it and the teachers really appreciated all the work we put into it,” said Stringer. Grade 10 students Anna-Mae Rustad, Chloe Sayer, Reagan Lomheim, and Erin Johnson did double duty, baking and decorating layer cakes for their Foods class, and donating them as prizes for the elementary Cake Walk. To add to the spring fun this year, the Student’s Union decided to host a student night after school the same afternoon. Students of all ages were invited to play school-wide hide and seek and/or participate in a recreational floor hockey tournament. Junior High Foods classes contributed to this part of the day as well, by baking the hashbrown casserole that was served for supper. Thwarting the silent killer by Maja Congdon The Biology 20 students of Hughenden Public School enjoyed a visit on Thurs. April 4 by Tammy Sather and Brian Cooper, members of the local fire and rescue team. They helped the Grade 11 students to grow their knowledge and skills regarding a healthy circulatory system. The students learned how to take blood pressure and blood glucose, along with how to test for carbon monoxide in their bodies. While testing for carbon monoxide, it was discovered that student Jared Johnson had a small amount of carbon monoxide in his body. He was sent to the hospital to get it looked at. The family later found out they had a carbon monoxide leak in their home furnace. Classmates were very concerned for Jared and impressed with the accidental intervention by fire and rescue. Regarding the classroom visit, Naomi Johnson remembers that “The diabetes needles hurt a lot”, said Naomi Johnson. Kjersti Congdon added, “it was a different setting to learn Bio in, which was nice”. consider running.
