A Musical Evening presented by the Choir and Sunday School. Sunday, December 14 at 7:00pm. Churchill Road North and Town Line. (32nd Sd. Rd.) This means fewer Acton property owners 29 not 34 would be impacted by the twinned line and there wont be any forced buyouts of land. Widening to the east, would have effected five property owners who would have been forced to move. Project manager Gary Schneider said they have se- lected the exact location for the area where the line will switch from the east side of the corridor to the west. It is an area south of Highway 7 between the Fourth and Fifth Lines, in a gravel pit owned by C.D.M. Quarry. He said the switchover area was moved from north of Highway 7, to south of the highway to alleviate traf- fic issues and make it less obvious. Weve begun rolling out our compensation offers and with about 350 private properties affected by the line, its quite a number of offers to table, Schneider said on Monday, adding they are still arranging meetings in Halton Hills to meet with property owners and table offers. Schneider said it is too early to tell how the offers are being viewed by affect- ed landowners. He said the offers are based on Hydro Ones land acquisition com- pensation principles that were developed last spring with input from landowners and a powerline group. The 29 Acton area resi- dents whose land will be affected by Hydro Ones plan are now deciding if they will grant Hydro One an easement on their prop- erty so the new line and corridor can be built and maintained, or if they will sell outright the strip of land needed for the project. No landowners has come after the first meet- ing and said this is just what we want, so its pre- mature to comment on how the negotiations are going, Schneider said, adding the whole point is to offer finan- cial incentives to encourage early settlement and avoid the lengthy expropriation process. The need for the Bruce to Milton Project was es- tablished by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) and is consistent with provincial land use policy and the Off-Coal pro- gram targets. Proponents said the line will avoid the high cost of strand- ed power supplies in the Bruce area, and the OPA concluded the Bruce to Milton project is the only practical alternative to de- liver power to the Greater Toronto Area. The Ministry will accept comments on the EA for eight weeks from De- cember 5 until January 30, 2009, and for details on how to make comments call 1-800-416-6290. Hydro One hopes it will have provincial approval by January 2009, and the target date for service is 2011.Estimated cost of the project is $635-million. Hydro switch south of Hwy. 7...

Shortly after 5:30pm police investigated a min- or accident on Trafalgar Rd. When a female driv- er involved had left the scene. Fortunately there were no injuries. Half an hour later at 6pm police responded to another ac- cident on Trafalgar Rd. with a vehicle match- ing the description of the first crash involved. Again, the driver left the scene before police ar- rived. Then shortly before 7pm a Halton officer saw the suspect vehicle a grey 2006 Mazda drive through a red light at an intersection on Speers Rd, in Oakville, continue through the intersection, mount the curb and come to rest on a grassy area beside the road.
