Ask a Trooper
Question: Now that spring is finally here I am seeing a lot of tractors, sprayers and other large equipment on the highways. A number of them didn’t appear to be using their flashing lights, slow moving signs, or escort when required. I am concerned this could cause a bad crash.
Holy Carp
Cayden Anderson said he loves catch and release after reeling in a 30+ inch, 15+ pound carp at Lake Sylvan June 4. Anderson stated he didn’t care what he caught; it’s all about the fight in the fish.
Looking Back
From May 1973 - The “Explosion & Flames” at Russ Christianson’s bulk plant was the talk of the town a week ago Tuesday. It wasn’t an explosion, but it was dangerous as anhydrous ammonia filled the air with a milky white gas that was blown to the south of Canby and escaped hitting town.
