CALGARY Jenna Beth has been followed and experiences threats while walking alone late at night in the Beltline neighbourhood, but the Calgary woman was further disturbed to hear of an alleged sexual assault along a route close to her workplace. “There was an assault in an alleyway along 12 Avenue and that was terrifying to me because now whenever I’m walking down the street and people are coming at me wearing masks everything is so much scarier,” she said. The alleged incident is under investigation by Calgary police, but Beth wanted to take matters into her own hands and prepare herself in the event she might be placed in a vulnerable position.

CALGARY Tanner Sawka was having an outstanding rookie season two years ago with the Okotoks Oilers. He had two goals and 14 assists in 45 games but was playing in constant pain. Bone spurs had developed in his hips and Sawka says he knew he was going to have to do something about it. So he put his hockey career on hold and went in for double hip surgery. Yeah I was like, pretty bummed out, Sawka said. I knew I had to get it done just for my way of life, the way I wanted to live in the future and then once I found out my hips needed to be worked on I was pretty bummed out but I just had to be resilient.

CALGARY Premier Jason Kenney says he has 100 per cent confidence in his health minister after some Calgary physicians say a lack of trust was one reason they voted to reject a tentative deal with the province and the Alberta NDP called for Tyler Shandro to be fired. Being the minister of health is always the toughest job in any provincial government, Kenney told reporters Wednesday. We absolutely want to sit down with the medical association and to continue the momentum we had going into this agreement. The Alberta Medical Association (AMA) said 53 per cent of physicians who voted rejected the tentative agreement with the province.
