Few things in life are as beautiful as the sight of joy etched on a child’s face. There is a purity and artlessness about a child, an innocence that is all the more touching because of its transience.

Well, that was a long day. It’s been a goal of mine for a while to make my way up to visit the other two Town and Country communities in this newspaper chain — Athabasca and Lac La Biche.

Dear Editor, New pool or hardball diamond? That’s the question facing the residents of Barrhead. I say we need both. Installing a new piece of recreational infrastructure at the expense of another doesn’t make sense to me.

Dear Editor, In the Barrhead Leader volume 85, number 15 of Tuesday, April 10, 2012, I read the editorial written by Tim Bryant called Too little, too late.
