Dear Mr. Editor,
I would like to express my concerns about the extended 50km/h speed sign just past South Glens. The new speed limit was introduced last week on Friday the 26th; I have only driven on Cardiff Road a few times in that week and it already annoys me. Most people I talk to believe it is a cash grab for the town of Morinville mostly directed towards the people of Cardiff… […]

Cardiff – John Hamilton sits at a table holding a picture taken at the age of 18 when he was in the Royal Canadian Navy. Although it’s been 60 years since the end of the Korean War, the memories of his time serving in the navy during that conflict and beyond are like it was yesterday when he was young and felt indestructible.
Hamilton said he took his training at Cornwallis after he joined the navy in 1951 as a cadet. “Cornwallis was all navy then,” he said. “RCN forever.” He went to the naval airbase… […]

My Facebook page lit up last week with all the folks I know yapping about the royal baby and when it was going to be born and what it might be called when it was born. I know I shouldn’t call him it but he was an it before we knew it was a him. He finally came out, no doubt on a gold fringed pillow, and his folks Kate and Billy give him his name. It got me to thinking about that and baby names… […]
