Two new granite sculptures by Stewart Steinhauer have been installed at Beaver Hills Bridge, linking Strathcona County and northeast Edmonton.

Strathcona County RCMP issued an October 8 pedestrian-safety reminder as shorter days and changing visibility create extra challenges on local roads. For Sherwood Park drivers, the priorities include observing school and playground speed limits, looking carefully before turning and never passing a vehicle stopped at a crossing.

Crosswalks may be marked or unmarked, so the absence of painted lines does not mean drivers can ignore people crossing at an intersection. Walkers should use crossings and pedestrian signals where available, look for approaching traffic and wait until vehicles have stopped before stepping out.

Bright or reflective clothing can help in low light, while a flashlight or headlamp can illuminate an evening route.

Put away the phone when crossing, keep surrounding sounds audible and use sidewalks whenever possible.

If there is no sidewalk, face approaching traffic and stay as far from vehicles as possible.

Drivers should clear windows and lights and give children, seniors and anyone moving more slowly enough time to cross.

Families can practise pointing, pausing and checking before proceeding, making the routine familiar without assuming a signal alone guarantees safety.

The practical takeaway is to reassess familiar routes as conditions change, allowing extra attention for the school run, grocery trip or evening walk. Read the provincial crossing guidance and walking safety advice.

The everyday ballpoint pen took decades to become a dependable writing tool.

John J. Loud patented an early design in 1888 for marking rough materials such as leather, but it was too coarse for ordinary writing on paper.

László Bíró, working with his chemist brother György, refined a pen that paired suitable ink with a tiny rotating ball.

Patent applications followed in 1938 and 1943 as the design developed.

Marcel Bich later helped make reliable ballpoints affordable, introducing the BIC Cristal in 1950.

Loud deserves credit for the early patented concept, while Bíró developed the successful modern writing instrument.
