Edmonton Police are commending the actions of a Good Samaritan driver after he purposely drove in front of another vehicle headed towards four young pedestrians.
“He did a very valiant thing,” said Scott Pattison with the Edmonton Police Service. “Obviously, police don’t recommend people do those sorts of things that put their own lives in jeopardy but certainly, we could have been talking about a very different story today.”
Across Alberta, Taber corn is well known. However, farmers and distributors are warning customers that a crop of counterfeit corn – being marketed under the Taber name - is being sold.
“For us, it’s a little frustrating,” admits Todd Mitchell, a Taber corn distributor.
“For the farmers in Taber, I imagine it’s got to be a huge problem, because they’re selling a name that they built.”
Mitchell says he’s seen counterfeit Taber corn being sold in the Edmonton area for the last six or seven years.
“They just go to the local grocery store, pick up the corn, and go out and sell it. We’ve had people steal our signs… all kinds of things to get into the business.”
