Forest Service seeks input on rising fees Written by Geoffrey Plant on June 9, 2021
During a five-hour-long work session Tuesday morning, Grant County commissioners heard several presentations covering broadband infrastructure, the Tyrone Mine expansion and forest fees, among other topics.
Commissioners also decided at the end of the marathon meeting that they would not meet later as the Gila Regional Medical Center Governing Board, which had been scheduled to gather for a closed-door special session. They will meet again for a regular meeting on Thursday, however, and will run through an agenda of 24 action items, ranging from consideration of a resolution describing the duties of an interim county manager who would temporarily replace outgoing manager Charlene Webb to accepting a small adjustment to polling precinct boundaries put forward by County Clerk Marisa Castrillo.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. A Whatcom County man faces charges for shooting his brother in the foot.
Court documents state that Joshua C. Stroud and his brother were arguing outside a home on Leeside Drive on April 30th.
A witness told deputies that Stroud pulled a small handgun and aimed it at his brother’s chest, then fired it toward the ground.
The bullet hit the brother’s left foot near his big toe.
Officers pulled Stroud over on Grandview Road and took him and a woman who was with him into custody.
Stroud is a convicted felon and is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm in addition to an assault charge.
However, by the following Friday afternoon, April 23, still-unfolding discussions between Village Manager Herb Koehler and ODOT engineers seemed to have moved the needle in regard to at least some of council’s concerns.
For several months, Granville officials have raised safety concerns they have regarding the project, particularly involving lines-of-sight challenges and resulting collision potential.
To date, most shared fears have focused on the safety of turns onto Lancaster Road in the township or South Main in the Village – “left turns, specifically, coming north into Granville, because the line of sight is challenging without either a lighting option or something that improves the line-of-sight when you’re looking to the south, attempting to turn left,” as Koehler previously put it.
Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate Lakes Entrance man Hayden Macklin.
A warrant has been issued for the 29-year-old’s arrest after he ran from police while under arrest in Grandview Road, Lakes Entrance about 12.45am this morning.
Macklin is described as being 175cm tall, medium build, with brown hair and blue eyes.
Investigators have released an image of Macklin in the hope that someone may have information on his current whereabouts.
Anyone who sights Macklin is urged to contact Triple Zero (000).
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
