Missing Fort McMurray man Calvin Tripp sought by RCMP
The Minnedosa RCMP seek information on 25 year old Calvin Tripp who reportedly left Fort McMurray Alberta around May 3. His car was found May 24 on Main Street in Minnedosa and likely remained there for about two weeks. Citizens with any sightings should contact police. Also reported: Roy Clark survived a grain truck box incident near Killarney on May 17 injuring him and his brother. Two Roblin accidents sent five to Yorkton Hospital and vandals toppled a Boissevain flower pot. John Fandych of Lac du Bonnet returned home May 24 to find his shed destroyed and his tractor burned, part of a broader loss of farm gear and records valued around $110,000.
