WORD ON THE STREET

On Feb. 2 police were called to a traffic complaint on Highway 14.

     A cattle liner was turning off of the range road and slipped into the ditch.  Traffic was becoming backed up due to both lanes of traffic being blocked. 

    Members attended the scene and the cattle liner had managed to get out of the ditch prior to police arrival.

    Later that same day police were notified by CN that a truck hit the crossing arm at a railroad crossing.  This matter is still under investigation.

    On Feb. 3 police at-tended a local business.  The business reported that a lock had been broken on a security gate and the vehicle then attempted to drive through them which caused the gates to snap off of the hinges.  The investigation is continuing into this matter.
