Ste. Anne Police Respond to Collision Between Train and ATV On August 3 at approximately 4:50 pm, Ste. Anne Police responded to a report of a train colliding with an ATV. The driver and passenger of the ATV, both females, were traveling west on Seine Road when they crossed the river utilizing the train bridge. The front tire of the ATV became stuck in the tracks with a train approaching. The ATV was struck by the train on the front passenger side and thrown into the ditch on the south side of the tracks before the train was able to come to a stop approximately 1/2 a mile east of the collision site. No injuries were sustained.

“It is fortunate that no one was hurt, this could have been tragic,” said Chief Robichaud of the Ste. Anne Police. “Railway tracks are private property. Walking or driving on them is not only dangerous it is illegal. Dozens of people are killed each year by trespassing on railway tracks. It’s important to remember that trains cannot stop quickly and they can’t swerve. An average freight train requires about 2 km to stop.”

Canadian National Railway Police also attended to investigate and numerous charges were laid against the driver under the OffRoad Vehicles Act and the Rail Safety Act.

A Little Laugh A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph‘s Hospital. She timidly asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”

The operator said, “I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the name and room number of the patient?” The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”

The operator replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse’s station for that room.”

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, “I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal, and her physician, Dr. Cores has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.

The grandmother said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news.”

The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”

The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything.”

Unclog a drain Drain clogged again? Get almost instant relief: drop a couple of Alka-Seltzer tablets down the opening, then pour in a cup of vinegar. Wait a few minutes then run the hot water at full force to clear the clog. this is a good way to eliminate kitchen drain orders.

P olish your silverware Is your silverware looking a bit dull these days? Try an ion exchange, a molecular reaction in which aluminum acts as a catalyst. All you have to do is line a pan with a sheet of aluminum for foil, fill it with cold water, and add two teaspoons of salt. Drop your tarnished silverware into the solution, let it sit for two to three minutes, then rinse off and dry.

Sharpen your scissors What can you do with those clean pieces of leftover for foil you have hanging around? Use them to sharpen up your double scissors!

Smooth them out if necessary, and then fold the strips into several layers and start cutting. Seven or eight passes should do the trick. Pretty simple, Huh?
