The Letter:
Hey all, I just wanted to write in and find out if you have heard any complaints about the PTBO Square mall security. I have been a patron at the mall since the 90s. I have never had a problem until recent years.
The next public meeting regarding PCVS's future is tonight at the Evinrude Centre starting at 7 p.m.

Iconic Peterborough bar Trasheteria, which employed an average of 35 people at a time, is closing down this weekend after 18 years in business, owner Jonathan Hall tells us.
"Yes, it's the end of the Trash and its 18 year run," a disappointed and emotional Hall tells PTBOCanada, adding "there is talk and effort in bringing it back in the near future with the same brand."

UPDATE FRIDAY 13th: GOODBYE LETTER FROM TRASHETERIA...
Thanks for everything you’ve done but now it's time to go…
Well friends unfortunately this Saturday truly is last call for The Trasheteria. Over the past 18 years we’ve averaged about 35 people at a time on staff and have been a proud part of the downtown nightlife community. All staff throughout the years, thank you. You’re paramount to a small business and The Trash has had nothing but the best staff from day 1. We will miss everyone immensely. We regret nothing and wouldn’t change a thing, what a trip (we really should write a book). A million or so of you have been through our doors over the past 18 years and danced the night away, done some patio schmoozing, checked out a band and escaped the mundane. Thank You.
We loved our live gigs. Fiest played The Trash before she hit big with two of her prior bands, Sloan gave us indie RN’R goosebumps, Australia’s Powderfinger were mesmerizing, The Sadies psychedelic alt country made me a fan for life and The Cowboy Junkies made me sleepy, in a good way. Jordan Knight from ‘The New Kids On The Block’ Played to 100 middle aged women 6 months before reforming and selling out 2 nights at the ACC whilst 2 weeks before that ‘The Dayglo Abortions’ punk rocked all over the same stage. Gotta love it! To all the bands and even Jordan Knight (who i drove to Taco Bell), Thank you.
It’s a great feeling to know that many a lasting relationship started at the Trash - bff’s, marriages, and even little Trasheteria babies! Heck, we’ve even seen a couple tattoos :) Makes us feel real good.
However, We’ve run our course and its curtains for 123 Simcoe.
There is interest and efforts in bringing ‘The Trash’ brand back in one way shape or form. Fingers crossed friends… We’ll leave it at that for now.
To the kids that found comfort in our brand and really connected to the music our dj’s played and the gigs we booked, we thank you so much for the support over the years. Our loyal supporters - we love you, you know who you are - Keep on being beautifully weird and different, funky and cool, wild and courageous… Be safe out there and perhaps we’ll see you down that winding road.
Much love, Retro Rules, Bye for now,
Trasheteria

The City of Peterborough is continuing their Christmas Tree Pickup.
Just leave your tree at the sidewalk (minus the decorations!) and it will be picked up before the end of January (weather permitting).
Do not leave them on top of snowbanks.

From a Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service Media Release today...
Fatal Transformer Fire Update:
On Friday December 16, 2011, just prior to 4:00 pm police and fire were called to the vacant Materbrand building on Crawford Drive to respond to an electrical fire at the transformer station located on the property. When they arrived they located a deceased male. The male was later identified as James Dexter Jenney age 43 of no fixed address. Evidence at the scene indicates that Jenney was an intruder on the property cutting copper wire and may have fallen and made contact with a live feeder line. Just prior to this incident witnesses observed a male climbing the tower with a second male watching from the ground. As this incident was being investigated, officers were advised that on the same date a few hours earlier, a 55 year old male also of no fixed address, walked into a nearby medical clinic suffering from electrical burns. He was taken to hospital and then transported to a Toronto hospital. Due to his injuries the investigators have not been able to interview him. The investigation is continuing. Anyone who may have information on Jenney’s activities that day or whom he was with at the time of the incident is asked to call the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service or Crime Stoppers.

It was overwhelming to see the amount of volunteers that were up bright and early Saturday morning at the Salvation Army to help with the delivery of 1,700 hampers to those in the city that need a little extra support this holiday season.
