This past week 40 occurrences were received by the Biggar Detachment.
In traffic, 10 drivers received guidance on traffic safety and one 50-year-old from Cando received a suspension for operating their 2018 black Dodge Ram under the influence of marihuana. A 17-year-old rolled their 2005 black Chev Cobalt going out east on the Airport Road and a red GMC Sierra was reported driving around town erratically after school.
Deer seem to be out everywhere, except during hunting times, but Hwy 14 had a Nissan Sentra strike a deer near Kinley, a Buick Enclave meet another around Perdue and a Semi made impact with one just east of Biggar. Although avoiding these critters may not always be possible, it is a good reminder to everyone that they seem plentiful on the highways at night. Maintain the speed limit and don’t out-drive your headlights, speed drastically affects the physics of you being able to stop and react in time for what you see in your headlights.
Rural property owners can rest a little easier this week. The “Frog” has been jailed for the time being. Although this will also disrupt the supply chain for some, there is never a lack of activity. The remainder of the week consisted steadily of tweaker drama that might be best explained by Dr. Hook at the ball.

The snow has found us, and the cooler weather means you will need more time to get to where you are going. Careful not to rush around and be mindful of stopping distances, as well, as give your car time to defrost the windows properly for visibility, it is an offence to be operating your vehicle trying to peer through the little hole you scrapped off.
Be safe,
Take Care! out there.
