The Hanover Barons are two wins away from earning the Clarence Schmalz Cup as the Ontario Hockey Association’s Junior C champions for the first time since 1991. Article contentThe Barons are up 2-0 in their best-of-seven series against the Essex 73’s, with the series returning to Hanover on Wednesday for Game 3 inside the P&H Centre. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Essex 73’s won the PJHL’s Stobbs Division over the Lakeshore Canadians, sweeping and beating the Petrolia Flyers in the West Conference Final and beating the New Hamburg Firebirds in five games to earn a berth in the final. The 73’s are Junior C dynamos with seven titles to their name, the most in the province. Essex won the Schmalz Cup in 1975, 1977, 1978, 2002, 2005, 2009, and 2015. The Hanover Barons last won the Schmalz Cup in 1991, defeating the Orangeville Crushers four games to three. Sam Barrett had the game of a lifetime to open up the Schmalz Cup Finals with a four-goal performance for the Hanover Barons in Game 1 of the championship series Saturday at the P&H Centre. The Barons beat the Essex 73’s 6-1 after winning a coin flip to determine home-ice advantage. Barrett scored two of his four goals in the first period, including one scored just 1:57 into the contest as the Barons took a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. Hanover’s Alex McGillivray and Essex’s Gabe Barrette traded first-period goals, but Barrette’s marker is the only puck that snuck by Derek Hartley, who made 30 saves to earn the win. Mark McIntosh scored the lone second-period goal before Barrett added two more in the third period, the 10th and 11th of the playoffs for the 20-year-old Owen Sound product. Brogan Colquhoun made 25 saves in the losing effort for the 73’s. The championship series between the Hanover Barons and Essex 73’s moved to Essex for Game 2 and tightened up after a blowout in Game 1 for the Barons. Sam Barrett scored his fifth goal of the series as the Barons won the slugfest by a score of 2-1 to take a two-game series lead. Neither team scored in the first 40 minutes of action as goaltenders Hartley and Colquhoun shut the door. Barrett’s marker at the 6:29 mark of the first period opened the scoring and was the difference maker. McIntosh added an empty-net goal with 52 seconds remaining in the game. Essex scored their lone goal of the contest with just 23 seconds remaining when Matthew Crawford spoiled the shutout for Hartley. Named in honour of Walkerton’s Clarence “Tubby” Schmlaz who served as president of the Ontario Hockey Association from 1968 to 1972. In 1974, when the Major Junior A program began operating independently of the association as the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League, Schmalz became the league’s first commissioner, a post he held until 1978. He served as vice-chairman of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association from 1979 to 1981, and as chairman in 1981. The association renamed the OHA Junior C Cup in his memory in 1982 and then collaborated with Schmalz’s family to create a commemorative trophy case in the lobby of the Walkerton Community Centre. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Dignitaries from the federal, provincial and regional governments will join Hanover Mayor Sue Paterson, as well as representatives from the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office, to celebrate the facility’s opening. “The Ontario government is proud to invest in our frontline heroes in Hanover through the Skills Development Fund,” David Piccini, Ontario Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, said in a news release. “Hanover’s cutting-edge firehall will ensure the fire and rescue team have a new and improved space that will enhance their capability to serve and keep their community safe.” Hanover Fire and Rescue officially moved to the new facility on Dec. 8, and have been responding from this location since that time. “We are excited to celebrate a new era of fire and emergency services in a facility built for the future,” Paterson said in the release. “Residents are encouraged to attend the grand opening and see firsthand the state-of-the-art, new net zero firehall that provides our valued fire and rescue team with the space and training elements necessary for their important work.” The firehall construction commenced in the fall of 2023, with local companies playing key roles, including design work completed by Dawley Engineering and building construction by Domm Construction Limited. It features four drive through apparatus bays, training area, honour hall, hose tower, gear room and fire staff offices. Net zero means the facility will produce as much energy as it uses. The firehall is Net Zero Energy and Zero Carbon, with high efficiency equipment, controls, air exchangers, heat recovery, lighting and upgraded thermal insulation. Solar production, complete with real time monitoring, is installed on the facility to ensure Net Zero Energy performance long term. The total project cost was $7 million, and funding was received from Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and the Province of Ontario. As well, more than $40,000 was raised through a sponsorship campaign for the training area. The grand opening will include behind-the-scenes guided tours of the facility, as well as live rescue related demonstrations. The Hanover Firefighters’ Association will also host a by donation BBQ. This Employment Ontario project is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.

Article contentThe Barons travelled to Napanee Thursday night, where they beat the Raiders 5-2 to earn a berth in the PJHL’s final. The Hanover Barons will now meet the Essex 73’s with Game 1 on Saturday inside Hanover’s P&H Centre at 3 p.m. Neither team scored in the first period. Mark McIntosh and Kyle Maloney netted back-to-back markers to give the Barons a 2-0 lead before Napanee’s Blake Aylesworth cut it in half near the end of the middle frame. In the third period, McIntosh scored on the power play for what proved to be the game-winning marker. Trent Williams put the Raiders on the board less than a minute later, but that’s as close as Napanee would get in the deciding game. Ryan Colquhoun and Sam Barrett added insurance markers, and Shallow Lake’s Derek Hartley shut the door in the net. A midwestern Ontario club hasn’t competed in the provincial Junior C hockey final since 2004, when the Wingham Ironmen lost to Grimsby. The Hanover Barons have forced a game seven in the Clarence Schmalz Cup semi-finals against the Napanee Raiders. Trailing in the series 2-1, Hanover hosted game four on April 25 and pulled away in the third period for a 5-2 win to even the series. After the Raiders opened the scoring midway through the first period, Erick Gulutzen got the Barons on the board late in the period to tie the score. Napanee once again took the lead midway through the second period, but a few minutes later, Sam Barrett tied the score for Hanover, and then Kyle Maloney gave the Barons their first lead of the game with five seconds left in the middle frame. Mark McIntosh recorded a power-play goal midway through the third period to give Hanover a two-goal lead before Maloney added another insurance goal with less than three minutes remaining. Hanover goalie Derek Hartley made 29 saves to earn the win. The Barons outshot the Raiders 34-31 and went 1-2 on the power play. Napanee was 0-2. Two days later in Napanee, the Raiders came back to steal a 5-4 overtime victory, taking a 3-2 series lead. Napanee took a 3-2 lead into the second period, where Hanover scored the only two goals to take a 4-3 lead. The Raiders scored with 1:03 left in the third period to tie the game before scoring just 19 seconds into overtime to take the win. Coen Galbraith scored twice for the Barons while Drayton Howell and McIntosh added singles. The teams tied with 31 shots apiece, and both teams were 1-2 on the power play. Two days later in Hanover, the Barons held on for a 4-3 win to tie the series 3-3. After Napanee opened the scoring just prior to the midway mark of the first period, McIntosh tied the game 15 seconds later. In the second period, Curtis Arnold gave Hanover the lead before McIntosh added another goal with 1:07 on the clock, and then Ryan Colquhoun scored with one second left to give the Barons a 4-1 lead. That score held until the final three minutes of the third period when the Raiders scored twice to pull within one goal, but that’s as close as they would come. Napanee went 1-5 on the power play while Hanover was 0-4. I came across a Facebook post that delighted me and I’m sharing an edited version of it here “I’m purposefully lazy and my kids are thriving because of it. I have more energy than most. I could easily handle everything for them but I don’t because I want them to learn to do it for themselves. “I love the harsh, judgmental looks and comments I get from other parents when they see my kids doing things deemed ‘too hard’ for them. ‘What a lazy mom. Those poor kids,’ they whisper. Yea, well they can judge me all they want but I’m preparing my kids to not need me. And I personally believe that’s the greatest gift I can give them. “I think we severely underestimate our children. They are far more capable and dependable than we will allow them to be. Most of us are over-scheduled control freaks and we don’t create the time we need to let our kids try and fail and then try again. We’re too busy to be lazy and it’s hurting our kids. Children that are treated like they are capable become capable. “The struggle is real, but you need to get over it because raising capable adults doesn’t start at age 16 when they can’t do anything for themselves. It starts at age three when they need you to back off and let them make a tsunami in your dish room. “Do yourself and your kids a favour and be a lazy parent. Back off and let them try. “Brooke Hampton, ‘lazy mom of three wildly capable humans.’ Credit: Barefoot Five.” Until I read this, I’d forgotten that my friend Eva was raised in a family where she and her brother managed household finances, shopped, cooked – you name it. And they quickly became highly capable and responsible teenagers. Give them challenges and see how they do. This is how we help them become good partners and good citizens. And who knows, it could turn out to be the cure for boredom. Interested in a parent support group based on Choice Theory?

Upon arrival, officers observed what they described as a distraught and intoxicated male climbing the hydro tower, one with high-voltage lines, and armed with an axe. Officers said they observed the male drinking from a bottle of liquor as he ascended the tower, as much as 70 feet above the ground. Hanover and West Grey Police officers contained the area while Grey County Paramedics, the Hanover Fire Department and Hydro One employees arrived at the scene. Police requested support from the OPP’s emergency response team, negotiators, and an incident commander, but the matter was resolved before they arrived, and their assistance was not required.

A 32-year-old West Grey man was charged with weapons dangerous to public peace, mischief and breach of probation. He was held overnight and released from custody. He is to appear at the Walkerton Court next month. Police maintained the scene until Hydro One high voltage specialists were able to attend and retrieve the axe from the tower that the suspect left behind. The police said there was no disruption to any hydro customers as a result of the incident.

The timeframes and locations listed includes: April 18 from 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. at Wow! Wing House, Hanover April 19 from midnight to 4 a.m. at Danny’s Hotel in Hanover April 19 from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. at The Alley in Hanover April 20 from midnight to 4 a.m. at Danny’s Hotel in Hanover April 23 from 2 to 4:15 p.m. at Shoppers Drug Mart in Hanover The number of potential measles exposures locations linked to the single measles case underscores the importance of staying home when sick, particularly when experiencing measles-like symptoms, the health unit noted. Anyone who was at one or more of the listed locations during the timeframes outlined should confirm their vaccination status by ensuring all individuals in their household are up-to-date on their measles vaccination. Those not protected against measles should contact their health-care provider or public health to receive post-exposure treatment or to get a vaccine, public health noted. Those who were potentially exposed to the case should monitor for measles symptoms, which generally start seven to 21 days after exposure, and can include a high fever, cold-like symptoms, sore eyes and sensitivity to light. About three to seven days after symptoms begin, a rash of red spots and blotchy patches typically appears, starting on the face and spreading down the body, arms and legs, the health unit said. An individual who develops measles symptoms should immediately isolate at home and call a health-care provider. Household members not immune to measles should also stay home and call public health. If medical care is required, the health-care facility should be called before arriving in-person. Ontario is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, with more than 1,000 measles cases reported in 15 public health units across the province dating back to last fall. In Grey-Bruce, public health has been notified of six confirmed and five probable measles cases since April 20. Public health conducts thorough case management and contact tracing upon notification of probable or confirmed measles cases. If everyone exposed to measles cannot be reached during a contact tracing investigation, the public is notified of potential community exposure locations, the health unit said. Public health’s dedicated measles webpage at www.publichealthgreybruce.on.ca/Your-Health/Infectious-Diseases/Disease-Specific-Resources/Measles includes a list of community exposure locations as well as recommendations and eligibility for measles vaccination. a team from Midwestern Ontario will compete in the Schmalz Cup final The Hanover Barons punched their ticket to face off against Essex 73's with a 5-2 win over the Raiders in Napanee in Game 7 of the semi-final Barons' forward Mark McIntosh scored the first goal of the game 40 seconds into the second period on the power play McIntosh was able to punch the puck into the net on a rebound Kyle Maloney expanded Hanover's lead at the 13:02 mark Napanee would score their first goal just over three minutes later Hanover regained their two goal lead on another McIntosh power play goal But Napanee's Trent Williams cut into the lead as Ryan Colquhoun fought off a stick check from the boards cut through to the middle of the ice and snapped a shot blocker side high That gave Hanover a 4-2 lead at 13:05 in the third period and with just over a minute and a half left in the third Sam Barrett scored on the empty net to seal the win Hanover goalie Derek Hartley stopped 24 of 26 shots The Barons now have the top four point leaders in the PJHL playoffs Mark McIntosh leads the way with 54 points in 25 games Game 1 of the Schmalz Cup Finals is set for this Saturday at 3:30 p.m The rest of the schedule has yet to be set The Hanover Barons won the Schmalz Cup in 1991 over the Orangeville Crushers The Kincardine Bulldogs made the Schmalz Cup Final in 1998 CKNX will have the call for the entire Schmalz Cup Finals between Hanover and Essex with OHA Hockey with Steve Sabourin the Hanover Police Service was advised by a local car dealership of a possible identify theft and fraud involving the purchase of a $140,000 high-end SUV We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Try refreshing your browser, ortap here to see other videos from our team.Play VideoArticle contentPolice investigators determined an unsuspecting person from Elgin County was the victim of identity theft, forgery and fraud related to this transaction.

Shortly thereafter, two other male accomplices involved in the crime were identified and arrested by Hanover officers a few blocks away, operating a black Mercedes four-door sedan. A search of their vehicle resulted in the recovery of stolen licence plates from the Greater Toronto Area and other documents linked to high-end stolen vehicles. A 45-year-old Timmins man, a 33-year-old Hamilton man and a 41-year-old Oakville man were held in custody overnight and released at their bail hearings on April 12. The Timmins man is charged with unauthorized possession of a credit card, fraud over, attempt to use a forged document, possession of an identity document, identity theft, personation with intent to obtain property and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The Hamilton man and the Oakville man are charged jointly with possession of stolen property, counselling to commit an indictable offence, possession of an identity document and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. All three suspects were scheduled to appear in Walkerton court in April. Hanover police investigators are continuing to follow leads and are seeking to identify two other male suspects involved in this crime who were operating a black Volkswagen Tiguan with dark tinted windows. It has been determined these two males were in the area of 10th Street and 18th Avenue on April 11 between 12 and 12:30 p.m., conducting counter surveillance while working in partnership with the identified suspects. Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact the Hanover Police Service at 519-364-2411 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477).

Mollie Fitzpatrick from Root Policy presented on housing, and it’s a dire situation: the county is still short more than 7,000 units for rent, and that’s just for those who earn below 50% AMI, or average median income, of around $36,000. The market for buying a home isn’t much better. “About half of all homes in 2020 were affordable to your median income household, so below 100% AMI,” she explained. “In 2023 only 5% of homes on the market were affordable to that — to the median income household, so 100% AMI. So, really dramatic losses.” A lot of that is driven by higher interest rates. As for rentals, Fitzpatrick says the county can catch up on that 7,000-unit affordability gap either through building lower-cost units, or by subsidizing existing units. That’s just to “catch up” with current need, she said. It’s been years of trying to catch up in that way. For at least ten years, the median rent in New Hanover County has been higher than what’s affordable to the median renter’s income. Those housing gaps are just accounting for current needs. Looking toward the future, Fitzpatrick says, “the total units needed to accommodate that projected growth over 10 years is about 21,000 units, or about 38,000 over 20 years.” As for the job market, Consultant Kathleen Rose says the county could try to direct the economy towards higher paying jobs by shifting its mixed-use zoning from residential and retail to industrial and office space. "So the easy answer is, fill it all with housing. But if we're trying to balance the economy, we need to take a look at balancing it with other types of commercial development, and considering the types of commercial development that raise wages and income levels," Rose said. Holly Shelter, US 421, US 17 Scotts Hill, the Sidbury Corridor, and Monkey Junction are the future mixed-use growth areas, she said. Among these, she suggested most of the housing go to Monkey Junction and the Sidbury Corridor. "It begs the questions: do we want to have more intensive growth? What areas should be preserved? What areas should grow again?" Rose asked. "For that lifestyle-dynamic economic development, goals for industrial development have to be reconciled. So you all as a community are going to have to decide how you want to make that balance, and again, we have to look at traffic impacts, quality of life, etc. That's part of the conversation." Public officials at the meeting broadly talked about wanting an appropriate balance of housing needs, environmental considerations, and developing a higher-paying economy. County staff had developed a list of ten priorities for the 2050 plan, and commissioners asked that they narrow it down to about four categories to simplify communication with the general public.
