Five candidates have stepped up to run for the Lacombe-Ponoka seat in the Legislature in Edmonton.

Braving the cold weather members of Samson Cree Nation went to the polls on Jan. 30 to vote for a new chief and selected Marvin Yellowbird to a three year term.

Newspapers are an important part of every community and we, as a newspaper need future readers. It is important to encourage the next generation of readers to pick up a newspaper and read the paper.

Ponoka is very lucky to have so many volunteers in our community. Each day volunteers of all ages help to make our community a better place to live in by unselfishly giving of their selves.

Between Jan. 27 and Feb. 3, Ponoka RCMP members were called upon to do many things in the service of their community.
