EXTRA! EXTRA! Scarecrows take over the newsroom!

Killam is overrun with scarecrows as part of the town’s ongoing Scarecrow Festival. As a result, a few CP staff stayed late Thursday night to work on a special late week edition of The Community Press. While only a few copies were made available (and flew out of here almost as quickly as the printer could print them off), we realize that this was more popular than we had anticipated. Below is a full viewing of the edition.

Dean Berrecloth, Public Works Superintendent for the Town of Killam, just returned on July 7 from a week in High River, where he assisted in clean up after massive flooding in the town.

Berrecloth is the Vice-President of the Alberta Public Works Assoc., (APWA) and as soon as the flooding occurred, he was in touch with the organization’s president Patty Podoborozny.

They quickly started to set up a resource list of public works departments in Alberta to use for this and future provincial emergencies.
