s Stolen packer sunk

A GROUP of people with too much time on their hands caused $20,000
damage to a road packer Oct. 20 when it was stolen and driven into La-
kelse lake at the end of Adel Road around +1 p.m. that day. The identity
of the joyriders remains unknown. The packer was pulled from the lake
the next day. That diver is standing on the top of the packer after it was
pulled closer into shore. ANDREW JOHNSTONE PHOTO
