The mayor of Yellowhead County is calling on Alberta’s political parties to postpone the provincial election and focus on the wildfires. “When this fire situation started, this whole entire county was tinder dry,” Wade Williams said Tuesday. “With this election going on, it took us five days of fighting and arguing just to get a fire and OHV (off-highway vehicle) ban put on in this county. “Over and above that, it took a few days for the province to declare a state of emergency.” A province-wide state of emergency was declared Saturday evening. “It is time for all parties running in this upcoming election to band together, get a hold of Elections Alberta and postpone this provincial election,” Williams said. “This election is nothing but a distraction at this point when we, Albertans, need every government official to roll up their sleeves and fight for this province before we don’t have a province to come back to.” Williams said politicians of all stripes have to collaborate and focus on the out-of-control wildfires, especially since high temperatures are in the forecast. “I’m calling on all Albertans, all mayors and reeves across Alberta to contact your MLAs to help me get this message out,” Williams said.

Some Yellowhead County residents have been out of their homes for eight to 10 days due to wildfires. An evacuation order remains in place for parts of the county, including Evansburg, Hansonville, Lobstick Resort and Wildwood.

Areas still under evacuation order are east of Range Road 110 (north of Chip Lake) and east of Range Road 101 (south of Chip Lake) and south of Township Road 560 in Yellowhead County.

Police: 2 teens accused of Wilmington carjacking arrested in Pennsylvania

CHESTER, Pa. - Two teenagers are facing charges after police say they carjacked someone in Delaware and sped away from officers during an attempted traffic stop before being arrested in Pennsylvania. Officers from the Wilmington Police Department were called to the 600 block of Geddes Street around 7 p.m. Tuesday for reports of a carjacking, according to investigators. Police located the stolen vehicle a short time later, but it sped away from officers when they tried to conduct a vehicle stop. The car was recovered later that night in Chester, Pennsylvania – about a 20-minute drive from Wilmington. Police say a 14-year-old and 17-year-old were both taken into custody after first trying to run away from City of Chester police officers.

Chester mayoral candidate strives to turn around beleaguered city

CHESTER, Pa. - The City of Chester, a beleaguered suburb of Philadelphia, will have a new mayor in January after a member of city council ousted their longtime mayor. Stefan Root, a 62-year-old Councilmember and electrical engineer, defeated two-term Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland by thousands of votes in the city's recent election. If he beats an independent challenger in the fall, Root will take the reins of the bankrupt city that's finances are currently controlled by a state-appointed receiver with a $45M hole in its pension. "Most of my work is going to be in city hall, straightening up city hall trying to turn it back into a business because it’s a $65M operation not a corner store operation.," Root told FOX 29's Jeff Cole. When manufacturing vanished in Chester the city faded. Some of its 33k residents struggle with poverty on streets marred by broken down homes. Roots said he wants to work with the state Receiver to fix the city’s deep financial problems.

The Health Tests You Need at Age 30, 40 and 50

Keeping track of when to start screening for health issues from cancer to cholesterol can be confusing—not least because guidelines for some of the biggest tests have changed in recent years. Earlier this month, a government-backed panel of experts lowered the age at which they recommend women start getting mammograms to 40, down from the prior recommendation of 50. And many 40-somethings don’t realize they are now supposed to start getting colorectal cancer screenings at 45, even though that same expert panel lowered its recommendation from age 50 two years ago.

PHILADELPHIA - The Democrat who will almost certainly become Philadelphia's next mayor wants to hire hundreds of additional police officers to walk their beats and get to know residents. She wants to devote resources to recruiting more police and says officers should be able to stop and search pedestrians if they have a legitimate reason to do so.Those positions, particularly the search policies that have been criticized for wrongly targeting people of color, would seem out of step in a progressive bastion like Philadelphia.

Did WestJet pilots reject $300K+ salaries? Union says figures ‘cherry-picked’

WestJet is telling its pilots it was offering “significant” wage increases that would make them among the highest paid workers in Canada before the pilots’ union issued notice for a strike that could begin this week, Global News has learned.But the union says the “cherry-picked” six-figure salaries included in internal communications do not represent the full scope of the offer they rejected, and criticized the airline for bargaining in public.Global News obtained a memo sent to pilots by John Aaron, WestJet’s vice-president of flight operations, to the airline’s pilots hours after the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) issued a 72-hour strike notice Monday evening.WestJet pilots are set to walk off the job at 3 a.m. Eastern on Friday unless a deal is reached.In the memo, Aaron said the airline’s latest offer — which expired after the strike notice was issued — would have raised salaries to “around” $300,000 for a narrowbody aircraft captain and $350,000 for a widebody aircraft captain, before overtime and other stipends.Aaron said those wages would have made narrowbody captains and first officers the highest-paid in Canada.Narrowbody aircraft are the more common passenger planes, like the Boeing 737, that have a single aisle separating passenger seating.
