Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign: Beginning around
December 26, and continuing through January 2nd, the Medicine Lodge
Police Department will join many other law enforcement agencies
across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the New
Year’s Taking Down DUI traffic enforcement campaign. The New Year’s
Holiday period outranks most of the other holidays in number of
crashes in which at least one of the drivers is impaired. So, plan
ahead. Leave your car at home and ride with a designated driver or
take other transportation services. If you are hosting a party, make
sure everyone has a sober ride home. If you see what appears to be
an impaired driver, please call 911, you might just save a life.
According to Chief of Police John Defore, “Keep in mind that if you
are going to be using ANY impairing substance– don’t even consider
driving. Line up a ride with a sober acquaintance or other safe
transportation BEFORE you go out. Make the right choice, the sober
choice, do it now.”
MOBILE PANTRY: Medicine Lodge pickup will be on Wednesday, December
18, 2024, at the United Methodist Church, 108 E. Second. 12:30 p.m.
to 1:15 p.m. Anyone who needs food assistance in Northern Barber
County may attend. Guests sign in with address and number in
household. Limit one visit per household. NOTICE: Please DO NOT COME
BEFORE 12:15 as this causes issue with the school parking!
