Engaged in this project, students become reporters and survivors of the Frank Slide. They research and create a video of an interview or a news article about Canada's deadliest rock slide that buried part of Frank, Alberta, in 1903.

Well, this certainly puts dry and dusty 1930s Alberta in a different light.

Nothing But Now (Haiku Poetry)

Hello! It's trippy to think that outside of this moment, nothing is really happening. No matter how recent or soon, it's either past or future. It's a memory, illusion, hope or dream. I took this photo nearly ten years ago now when a flock of Bohemian Waxwings landed…

Hello! It's trippy to think that outside of this moment, nothing is really happening. No matter how recent or soon, it's either past or future. It's a memory, illusion, hope or dream. I took this photo nearly ten years ago now when a flock of Bohemian Waxwings landed in the mountain ash tree in the front yard and began to feast on berries.

Cold, Sunny Day (Haiku Poetry)

Hello from sunny Alberta! Here's my haiku about the spectacular frost covering the trees today, and highlighted by the dazzling blue sky. This first photo is the background I used for the poem. I really like how this next picture turned out. It's our hazelnut tree…

Hello from sunny Alberta! Here's my haiku about the spectacular frost covering the trees today, and highlighted by the dazzling blue sky. This first photo is the background I used for the poem. I really like how this next picture turned out. It's our hazelnut tree covered with frost and snow. And here's a song from Triumph. I was happy to discover that this band is Canadian. Take care and enjoy your day wherever you are. Lori

Murder, lust, and revenge. Denby Jullsen, Hughenden, proves that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
