One of the valued roles newspapers have is to foster dialogue in their communities. In today’s rapidly evolving world of technology and communication, it is interesting to see how these changes affect society.
In an effort to encourage youth to contribute their thoughts concerning various aspects of the role of newspapers, the Alberta Press Council offers an annual $2,000 scholarship for a graduating high school student going on to post-secondary studies.
This year’s topic involves something today’s young adults are passionate about — Facebook! We want to know their thoughts on:
“Facing up to Facebook: How Does the Traditional Newspaper Survive?”

Volunteering is defined as an individual or group contributing their time, effort and skills to helping specific projects succeed without any expectation of money in return.
Imagine the shock that transpired when, according to the AOL news site, there appeared an article about orthopedists in Quebec asking for pay to volunteer in Haiti.
If it is merely a joke, it’s a horrible one, and if it is indeed real, one must wonder what these medical professionals would do if their demand was refused. Would they pack up and run away from the chaos?

Excuses for dogs in the wetlands don’t hold water |

I think Lethbridge is very accommodating to dog owners. Areas are set aside within city limits where dogs can run free, off leash. Dogs are permitted in most other public areas providing they are leashed.
In fact, in a lot of these areas, the city provides “poop bags” so dog owners can clean up after their pets. All this seems pretty reasonable to me, not being a pet owner.
Lethbridge has four nature reserves (Helen Schuler, Alexander Wilderness, Cottonwood and Elizabeth Hall Wetlands), where dogs are not permitted (leashed or not). These areas account for probably less than five per cent of the public areas in the city, yet some dog owners choose not to respect the rules in place to protect these areas — No Dogs Allowed.
