THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 5 Police Report Bah, humbug Last Monday they unwrapped and pulled the plug, leaving Acton's Christmas Tree of Hope in darkness. After six red and green trees flanking the big tree in front of the Acton arena also went dark, Acton BIA manager Josey Bonnette found 10 extension cords bringing power to the trees had been stolen, one wrenched violently, breaking the plug. "It's disheartening ­ it's a shame," Bonnette said on Tuesday, hoping that the lights will stay on until the New Year. The Acton Tree of Hope has been decorated for the past two years as part of the Light Up The Hills community holiday celebration. On a bright note, after learning of the theft, BIA Board Chair Nancy Wilkes offered to pay to replace the stolen extension cords. TOWN STOCKS FOODSHARE: Town staff donated two pickup trucks beds full of groceries to local food banks and on Tuesday, Mayor Rick Bonnette ( second of right) and Town Public works Supervisor Dick Spear (right) delivered half of the donated food to Acton FoodShare, where it was gratefully accepted by Board Director Real Tetreault and chair Arlene Humphreys. ­ Frances Learment photo Holiday Hours 519-853-1553 888-833-8953 FAX: 519-853-1559 379 Queen St., East Acton ON L7J 2N2 Heritage credit?
