The Times highlights Fire Prevention Week and honors local volunteer firefighters. It notes their hours of training, weekend and holiday calls, and behind the scenes work. A simple thank you, a plate of cookies, or a note at the fire hall shows appreciation for their service.
In a reader note the writer decries taxpayer spending of 72 512 dollars on a new arena duplicating an existing Taber facility. They urge unity over conflict and argue energy spent on disputes could be used to improve education and healthcare.
A reader warns that the 50th Street and Highway 3 intersection in Tabor creates daily backups and a dangerous turn left scenario. The complainant urges proper signage and traffic light changes, noting risk of severe or fatal crashes until fixed.
Citizens ask why parking stalls favor small cars while many drive SUVs and trucks. They query limited left turn lanes at 50th Street and Highway 8 corner and lack of ashtrays on sidewalks for smokers. They note dog walkers neglect scooping and ask if the Cornfest parade will use 48th Avenue after its redecorating next year.
