Mabagal na Convoy, Rankin ng Elks at Bagong RCMP Uniporme — Edmonton Miyerkules

20 artikulo 2 linggo ang nakalipas 212

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Isang industrial load na nagkakahalaga ng 1.65-million-pound ang magpapabagal sa trapiko sa pagitan ng Edmonton at Fort Saskatchewan. Ang de-ethanizer convoy — 96.6 metro ang haba, 10.5 metro ang taas, 7.7 metro ang lapad at nasa mga trailer na may 448 gulong — magsisimulang gumalaw gabi mula Dacro alas-11 ng gabi noong Aug. 12, magpapatuloy nang Aug. 14 alas-2 ng madaling-araw, at maaaring bumagal hanggang 30 km/h; pinapayuhan ng Alberta ang mga nagmamaneho na tumawag sa 511 para sa mga update.

  2. Paglalakad ng aso sa downtown Edmonton park nauwi sa pagdadala sa beterinaryo dahil sa pinaghihinalaang opioid poisoning. Tumugon ang city animal-control at mga beterinaryo matapos magpakita ng sintomas ng pagkalason ang isang aso pagkatapos ng paglalakad sa downtown, at nakatanggap ang hayop ng emergency na pang-beterinaryong pangangalaga sa Edmonton; iniimbestigahan ng pulis at animal services ang mga kalagayan ng insidente.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Dalawang lalaki mula Maskwacis kinasuhan matapos umano’y pagbabanta gamit ang baril sa kalagitnaan ng araw sa Louis Bull First Nation. Ayon sa RCMP pumasok ang 23-anyos at 17-anyos sa isang bahay noong Aug. 6 na may dalang firearms, nagbanta pang barilin ang isang bata, natagpuan na malapit lang sila, at hinarap ang mga kasong kabilang ang possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose; ang 23-anyos ay ikinulong habang ang dalawa ay hinarap sa Wetaskiwin provincial court sa unang bahagi ng Setyembre.

  2. Mag-uumpisa ang Alberta RCMP magsuot ng navy-blue shirts simula Aug. 15 bilang bahagi ng pambansang rollout ng uniporme. Magsisimula ang mga Alberta detachments palitan ang grey shirts ng navy-blue front-line shirts sa Aug. 15 bilang bahagi ng pagbabago sa buong Canada mula pa noong Oktubre; nagbabala ang RCMP hinggil sa mga pangyayari ng impostor, sinasabi na posibleng magsuot pa rin ang mga opisyales ng lumang shirts habang nasa transition, at hinihikayat ang mga residente na humiling na makita ang police identification o tumawag sa lokal na non-emergency lines.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Humihingi ang Alberta ng mga proposal para palawakin ang gambling-addiction services na pinopondohan ng kita mula sa iGaming. Naghahanap ang lalawigan ng mga programa para dagdagan ang Recovery Alberta’s 21-day bed-based treatment at mga hotline, kung saan isang porsyento ng regulated iGaming revenue ang inilaan para sa social-responsibility initiatives at kumukuha ang gobyerno ng 20% ng operator revenues; halos dalawampu’t ibang private sportsbooks at casinos ang aktibo nung paglulunsad.

  2. Nagbabala ang mga preschool sa Alberta ng pagsasara at pagkapilay dahil sa kakulangan sa pondo ng lalawigan. Iniulat ng mga adbokasiya sa early childhood na naapektuhan ang operasyon ng mga preschool sa buong Alberta dahil sa funding gaps, humihiling ang mga programa ng dagdag na suporta mula sa gobyerno at nagbabala ng pagbawas ng serbisyo na makakaapekto sa subsidized spaces at retention ng staff sa mga komunidad sa lalawigan.

🏈 Sports

  1. Ang pagbaba ng rushing ni Justin Rankin ng Elks ay direktang nauugnay sa mas kaunting carries, hindi sa pagkawala ng porma. May 651 yards sa 101 carries at pitong TD si Rankin ngayong season, pero ang kaniyang apat na 100-yard games ay nangyari kapag nagkaroon siya ng 10+ carries; ang mga offensive game plan ng Edmonton at ang passing ng quarterback na si Cody Fajardo (binanggit ang 510-yard game noong July 23) ay konektado sa nabawasang pagkakataon ni Rankin.

  2. Maghaharap ang Calgary Stampeders at B.C. Lions habang parehong naghahanap ng momentum sa West Division. Ang Stampeders (4-5) ay tatapat ng Lions (3-5) sa Huwebes sa McMahon Stadium; binigyang-diin ni Calgary coach at GM Dave Dickenson ang pangangailangan ng mas maraming panalo sa bahay, at bumalik ang B.C. quarterback Nathan Rourke na nagtapon ng 370 yards at dalawang TD sa kanyang huling laro.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Nag-ulat ang mga pumpkin growers sa Alberta ng pagkaantala sa pananim matapos makaranas ng 33 cm na ulan noong Hulyo sa Somerset Farms. Sinabi ng Somerset Farms sa Parkland County na ang kanilang 80-acre u-pick, na nagtatanim ng 67 pumpkin varieties at karaniwang nagbubunga ng humigit-kumulang 25,000 prutas, ay isang buwan na nahuli dahil sa naka-ipon na tubig at pagdami ng damo; binalaan ng may-ari na si Kate de Windt ang panganib ng hamog na nagyelo at pinansyal na paghihirap mula sa nawawalang benta.

  2. Sinusubukan ng mga Alberta farm researchers ang bagong mga teknik para sa sustainability at kita sa mga field trials. Nagsasagawa ang mga mananaliksik ng on-farm trials sa Alberta para subukan ang mga gawi na naglalayong mapabuti ang sustainability at ani, naka-pokus ang mga eksperimento ngayong season sa soil management at input efficiencies sa maraming test plots sa lalawigan.
