Liverpool incident

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.

Kings County cutbacks

There’ll be less paving of roads in Kings County this year because the provincial government is cutting back funding.

The county requested $600,000 worth of paving with it cost sharing with the province half and half.  But the government only approved a total of $136,000 which will mean less than one kilometre will be paved.

Engineering and Public Works, Lands and Park Services manager Scott Quinn told the Kings County News three of the four roads getting work done are because of the Greenwood water project.  The fourth is Neily Crescent which was part of a separate water project two years ago.
