Editor’s Note: Floods aren't just unpredictable—they're deadly, and warning systems save lives. This isn't just bureaucratic penny-pinching; it's a failure to protect people who live and vacation in a high-risk area. When the next storm hits, the lack of this system could mean the difference between a close call and a catastrophe.

Dave "Baby" Cortez, the musician behind the 1959 instrumental hit "The Happy Organ," has died at 83. Despite his early success, Cortez largely faded from the public eye, leaving fans wondering about his later years. His playful, upbeat track became a defining sound of its era, but his story is a reminder of how quickly fame can slip away—even for those who create timeless music.

Editor’s Note: Cortez's death closes the chapter on a musician whose work bridged early rock 'n' roll and R&B, yet his relative obscurity later in life highlights how the music industry often overlooks its pioneers. "The Happy Organ" remains a joyful relic of its time, but his legacy is also a quiet lesson in how fleeting recognition can be—even for artists who leave a mark.

Alberta is cracking down on what kids can read in school, banning books with explicit sexual content for students in Grade 9 and younger—including material on puberty, menstruation, and breastfeeding. Meanwhile, religious texts like the Bible will still be accessible. The policy also restricts who can read about even mild physical affection, like kissing and hugging.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about removing "explicit" books—it’s a sweeping rule that blocks younger students from accessing basic health information while carving out exceptions for religious texts. Critics argue it could leave kids in the dark about their own bodies while favoring certain viewpoints. For parents and educators, it raises big questions about who gets to decide what’s appropriate—and why some topics are treated differently than others.
