The three RCMP officers who were on the scene when Reid died are expected to testify in June. The people who run the ambulance service in La Scie say it's time for government to put money into improving the Baie Verte highway. The fire department took over the ambulance service earlier this year. Fire Chief Carl Rice says the road is covered with potholes and it's becoming difficult and dangerous to transport patients. He says it's impossible to work on patients while driving over bumpy roads in places where it's only safe to drive at about forty kilometers an hour.
Rice adds there's been hundreds of dollars in damage done to the ambulance already.
He plans to send the repair bills to the provincial government. Auctioneers have started the job of selling off items inside Memorial Stadium. About 100 people showed up yesterday afternoon to the public portion of the auction. That included a group of people who are opposed to the building being sold to the operators of Dominion stores in the province. They showed up with petitions and were handing them out, until the Leafs organization asked them to leave.
