December—Impaired Driving
The following key messages can be used to support the Impaired Driving Communication Campaign:

Impaired driving is a crime and it will be treated as such. 
Alberta is getting tough on impaired drivers - you will be
caught!

Driving while impaired by drugs and refusing to comply
with a demand for physical sobriety tests or to provide
bodily fluid samples is a criminal offense.

You do not have to be legally drunk to be charged with
impaired driving.

Make the right choice for everyone – don’t drive if you
have been drinking or using drugs.
Drivers who choose to drive impaired face not only the
possibility of killing themselves, their friends or
someone else, but also very serious legal, financial,
social and other consequences.

Plan ahead for safe transportation. There are
alternatives to impaired driving.

If you encounter a suspected impaired driver, record the
vehicle license plate number and dial 911 anywhere in
the province.

You have a lot to lose: your freedom, job, dignity, or
even your life.
Wishing
Everyone
a Safe &
Happy
Holiday!

Public Works Department
Town of Penhold Snow Removal Notice
Our Public Works staff make every effort to ensure that our streets are clear of snow and ice during the winter months. Please be
patient as we complete this process. Snow plowing and/or removal on streets will be started after a heavy snowfall (15cm) or once
accumulations have reached 15cm. The priority areas are as follows:

Priority one includes main thoroughfares and bus routes.

Priority two are Businesses, Streets and Avenues.

Priority three are Closes, Courts and Places – these are cleared once all other major areas are complete.

Alleys are not listed as a priority and are maintained only for the use of -garbage trucks. Should alleyways become impassable they
may be cleared as time permits.
This process may take two weeks or longer depending on snow fall, conditions and work load. Should another 15cm of snow
accumulate during the snow removal process, priorities will shift back to one and two. For a map of the priority areas please look on our
website at www.townofpenhold.ca.
Public Works makes every attempt to notify residents of intent to clear snow. Time permitting; signs are normally placed alongside
the street 12 hours in advance. Please be courteous to town staff as well as your neighbours by refraining from parking on the road during
the hours posted. Attempts will be made to contact the registered owner of the vehicles, but note that vehicles are considered towable if
they are not in accordance with the posted street sign (Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation, Alta Reg. 304/2002 Sec. 44(n)).
Snow will be windrowed until removal is possible. Where applicable, snow will be windrowed to the side of the street without a
sidewalk.
Please use extra care when approaching snow removal equipment as visibility is limited and equipment may stop and/or back up
suddenly. Please also consider neighbours and delivery people by clearing your sidewalks. Snow must be removed within 72 hours of any
snowfall (Traffic Bylaw 630/06 Sec. 18 a & b). Snow that is cleaned off sidewalks and driveways cannot be deposited onto the road.
Outdoor Rink Shelter Supervisor’s Needed
Why volunteer for 2 to 3 shifts (8 to 24 hours) during the outdoor ice season (December through March)?

A great way to meet people in your community

Provide a safe environment

Keep our kids in our community active

Be a role model
To keep the rink shelter open we are looking for adult (18+) volunteers to
supervise the outdoor rink shelter during the 2014/2015 season. Did you
know we need 50 volunteers to keep the rink shelter open the entire season! Shifts are Monday through Friday 5-9pm and weekends
1-9pm. Call Alicia in Public Works at 403-886-3282 to book your shifts.
* Watch the signboards, website and Facebook for the out door rink opening date.
Exciting changes to your garbage collection are coming in 2015!
As more information becomes available we will post it on the Town Website, Facebook, Twitter and in the Penhold Reporter.

Disobedience (Tip Sheet for Toddlers)
Disobedience usually becomes a problem when your child becomes a toddler. Toddlers are learning to be independent and may become
assertive as well as resistant to their parents. Once they become more mobile they touch and do things they aren't supposed to do and refuse
to listen to the word “no”. Children need simple rules for their safety and to help them learn to make friends.
Here are some tips to help prevent disobedience:

When problem behavior is occurring, get their attention. Get close to them and at their eye level, then use their name so they know
you’re talking to them.

Hold your child’s hands firmly, say “no” in a firm but calm voice, frown and shake your head from side to side.

Pause and give your child time to start doing what you have asked. 5 seconds is enough time, stay close and watch your child. Give
praise if they do as you asked.

If they whimper or cry after being told “no” ignore them. Wait for a pause in their crying, thank them for being quiet and try to
involve them in an activity.

Toddler proof your home, have plenty of activities available for your child and encourage behavior you like.
