Dog attack!
The woman shown was walking her two dogs on the high school hill (Sunday, January 21) when the black dog on the right attacked from a nearby yard. The woman picked up her dogs, one under each arm, until the attacker's owner responded about ten seconds later and got the dog under control. The woman's dogs were each on a leash. The attacking dog obviously was not.

Two-vehicle accident at 5th & Chestnut

At about 5 p.m. today, units responded to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of North Fifth and Chestnut. According to witnesses, a Subaru Impreza heading southeast on Fifth Street and a Jeep heading northwest collided as the Jeep was turning left at the intersection. Both vehicles sustained front end damage, but neither driver was hurt. The Jeep was drivable, but the Subaru was towed from the scene.

The intersection has been the site of several accidents and near-misses over the past year.
