Post Secondary June 5, 2009	It's a momentus day for hundreds of students at Medicine Hat College this weekend. Over 500 will graduate. But new statistics indicate a familiar trend in our area, -- a greater proportion of Medicine Hat residents do not have post-secondary education than other places in Alberta. Jeremy Hunka discovers how the College plans to change those numbers
Downtown Crossing June 4, 2009	The city has been working to make our streets as walkable as possible. But according to some local business owners loitering has become a big problem. As Jeremy Hunka reports some say drugs and prostitution are taking a big bite out of business.
Isotopes Shortage June 3, 2009	Medicine Hat health officials are pleading for help as the supply of medical isotopes continues to dwindle. The Chalk River Nuclear plant in Ontario shut down in May causing a massive shortage in Canada and around the world. The radioactive material makes medical imaging for heart and cancer patients possible. As Scott Cunningham discovered, while the shortage is causing concern -- its also illuminating a picture rarely seen by the public.
9 1 1 Dispatch June 2, 2009	Emotions went from a simmer to full boil at Monday night's city council meeting. Alderman voiced their outrage with the Alberta health services consolidation of ambulance dispatch centres in our province. Medicine Hat along with 26 other regions, have been informed that in two years time all medical emergency calls will be routed to a regionalized centre in either Calgary, Edmonton or Peace River. Scott Cunningham dials in on an issue that looks to bring an end to the most highly decorated 911 call centre in Alberta.
Blind Clinic June 2, 2009	For some, getting through school can be a challenge. But imagine all those tests and all that homework - without your vision. A specialized team of doctors arrived in Medicine Hat today, part of a travelling Low Vision Clinic. As Jeremy Hunka reports, it's care some Medicine Hat students may have never had access too.
Medicine Hat International June 1, 2009	June began with an international flavour in Medicine Hat with the visit by 3 touring ambassadors. The visiting dignitaries toured several local businesses. Scott Cunningham caught up with the Ambassadors as they got a look at city hall, and found that while our province and country may be a world away from theirs, we both have much to learn from one another.
