While no one was injured in the accident, the sign, which has stood for decades, sustained significant damage. Forest rangers have since replaced the sign, but local authorities are still trying to determine the exact cause of the mishap.The local authorities are using this as an opportunity to remind drivers to stay alert, particularly in areas with wildlife and safety signs.

Local bar owner, Wesley Hartman, claims racoons are the source of all his problems

Local bar owner Wesley Hartman is convinced that raccoons are evil little creatures. From stolen food supplies to mysterious power outages, Hartman insists that these nocturnal troublemakers are the root of every misfortune that has befallen his beloved establishment, and his life. “I don’t know what I did to upset them, but they’ve dedicated their furry little lives to torturing me” Hartman said, gesturing to the boarded-up window where a raccoon had allegedly broken in the night before. “They’ve chewed through wires, knocked over beer kegs, and one even got into the jukebox and somehow got it stuck playing ‘Free Bird’ on a loop for two hours.” Customers at his establishment, The Cat's Club, have mixed feelings about Hartman’s claims. Some believe the raccoons are simply looking for food, while others suspect the bar owner may be exaggerating. “Wes is a good guy, but I think he’s losing it,” said longtime patron Jerry Lawson. “He said he saw a raccoon wink at him last week. That’s not normal.” Despite his growing paranoia, Hartman refuses to back down. He’s installed motion sensor lights, reinforced the dumpster, and even hired a so-called “raccoon expert” to help combat the ongoing invasion. “I just want my bar back,” he said. “Is that too much to ask?” If Hartman is exaggerating, or the raccoons really do have it out for him is one thing we may never know, one thing is certain—Linton’s raccoons aren’t backing down anytime soon.
