Carberry "Car Hopping" Spree

The RCMP report that the community of Carberry has been stricken by what they are calling "car hopping." Since May 5 there has been at least a dozen break ins where thieves have stolen small items such as petty cash to more expensive thing like GPS units. In many of the cases the vehicles were left unlocked allowing the thieves an easy means of entry. In some cases there was nothing missing but the thieves vandalized the vehicle.

The police are reminding people to lock their vehicles and to make sure valuables are out of sight. Also if you have any more information that can lead to the solution of this crime you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers.

Gas Prices Soar

Gas prices went up again over night to 135.9 this is the second increase in a week which saw prices go up about 16 cents. The recent increase is said to be caused by a fuel shortage in the American Mid-West but many analyst say the shortage is manufactured by the oil companies to drive the price up. The slumping Canadian dolloar can also be blamed any time the lonnie sinks in the market we see and increase at the pumps.

The current price of gas is 14 cents a liter more than it was this date last year. There is some light at the end of the tunnel with prices predicted to fall in the next week or two.

The summer holiday season is right around the corner and many families may be reconsidering their holiday plans if the prices continue to remain high.

Archery Event Report

The Carberry Archers hosted their annual May Long 3D Archery tournament this past weekend. The weather was anything but ideal for the event with winds guesting up to 50 km/hr and temperatures around 10 degree mark. 43 archers did brave the elements with Reid Fowley taking top honors in the premier class, Bow Hunter Open. As the day went on the weather did improve as the temperature rose and the winds died down. There were many remarks made on how challenging and fun the course setup was, but the next words out of their mouth were always about the weather.
