BULLETIN
A small earthquake with a magnitude of 3.51 struck just northeast of West Salem this week, though the mild tremor caused no reported damage in the Belle Rive area. Meanwhile, authorities in nearby Centralia are investigating several serious incidents including the death of a five-month-old child and a hit-and-run involving a bicyclist, with police seeking public assistance in locating the vehicle involved. On a brighter note, Rend Lake hosted an Independence Day science program featuring eagle ambassadors that drew local interest.
