Regional Roundup

Dumped barrels cause hour-long road closure

Kennison Road east of Lodi was closed for an hour Monday while fire and environmental crews investigated a leaking barrel. The road reopened after they determined it was filled with leftover cooking oil and did not pose a toxic hazard.

Woodbridge Fire crews were first called around 11:40 a.m. to the road north of Victor Road. A 55-gallon drum and a another container were sitting on the side of the road, leaking a fluid.

They soon called for California Highway Patrol officers to block the roadway as more vehicles came from the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services and Lodi Fire Department.

After running tests, OES workers determined that the substance was apparently a kind of cooking oil and was not a public threat.

The road reopened shortly before 1 p.m.

Christian Science Church to host speaker

Tim Myers, who says he enjoys sharing insights he has gained on the power of God to heal, will speak from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Christian Science Church, 322 W. Elm St., Lodi.

Myers has spoken to prisoners, homeless people, college students and interfaith groups.

The public is invited. Child care will be provided. For more information, call 369-3804 or 368-0633.

Thornton, S.J. libraries to get classic books

Thornton and other San Joaquin County libraries will receive 17 classic books through the National Endowment for the Humanities. The books include several on Abraham Lincoln to prepare for his 200th anniversary of his birth next year.

Other books include "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Anderson and a biography on former First Lady Abigail Adams.

The Lodi Public Library is not part of the county library system.

Delta emergency plan being developed

The public is invited to comment on the development of a Delta emergency response and operation plan from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at Courtland Auditorium, 146 Primasing Ave., Courtland.
