Two men face a number of charges after an incident at the RCMP detachment in Liverpool.

A 46 year old man was arrested at a home in Milton.  Two other men tried to get into the police cruiser and threatened the arrested man.  Then when the Mounties got back to the detachment the pair were there as well trying to get at the arrested man and threatening to smash into the cruiser.

49 year old Kris Kelly and 45 year old David Troy Oickle are facing several charges including obstruction of justice, uttering threats and breaching probation.

The province has approved a controversial quarry near Fall River.

The Environment Department granted approval to Scotian Materials Ltd. for a four-hectare quarry.  The 10 year approval includes clauses to reduce the environmental impact and protect public health.

Liberal MLA Bill Horne, who represents the area, was disappointed and says he will ensure Scotian Materials is in full compliance with those terms and conditions.
