Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 21st of May.
Good morning, Helena.
Tenmile Creek Park in Helena has added a new wheelchair charging station that was completed in April.
The project cost about $25,000 — $20,000 came from a PPLT grant and the balance was raised through individual nonprofit support.
Today, Supaman will attend a public discussion on alcohol sponsored by Lewis and Clark Public Health and the Helena Indian Alliance on Helena’s Walking Mall—he will perform a free concert on May 22nd.
The Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s office will increase patrols during Montana’s 100 deadliest days on the roads by adding two to five extra officers in high-crash areas ahead of Memorial Day — a move funded by the Montana Department of Transportation's Selective Traffic Enforcement Program. Officials noted that past fatal crashes and concerns over impaired and distracted driving have prompted these measures to keep roads safer during the busy holiday travel period.
Sheriff Nick Rauser said the Broadwater County Sheriff’s Office lost $1.2 million in funding due to the expired levy, which cut key roles like the school resource officer and South End deputy — and one deputy set to retire will not be replaced.
He added that detectives will cover patrol shifts and some deputies will be reassigned for jail duties — a change that may slow services until voters can act in June.
