This week, articles cover proposed high‑speed rail and concerns about its impact on farmland, local trustees’ objections to new provincial powers over school boards, and safety issues following a serious single‑vehicle crash. Readers can also learn about the township’s award‑winning eco‑friendly buildings, new advertising plans at the arena, and a strong push to “keep your bucks in the Ux” during Black Friday to support local businesses. There are also rich arts offerings from choirs, jazz musicians, and school concerts, and rounding out the edition are local sports updates, classifieds, church and concert notices.
