POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 43 A female cyclist who was thrown over the hood of a car she collided with Thursday morning was transported to a Halifax hospital with undetermined injuries. The unidentified woman believed to be in her late 20s appeared to suffer facial and leg injuries during the mid-morning collision at the corner of Kaulback and Arthur streets. A spokesman at the QE II Health Sciences Centre said he could not elaborate on her condition by presstime Thurday. An eye witness at the scene said the cyclist was proceeding along the sidewalk on Kaulback Street when she collided with a vehicle making a right turn onto Arthur Street. “The lady was just driving down the sidewalk, wearing her helmet and everything, the lady just inched out, obviously didn’t see her and hit her,” said Deidre Graham, a landscaper who was working across the street from the accident scene. Graham said the cyclist appeared at the last minute to see the driver begin to make the turn and yelled “‘hey or wait,’ or something,” but apparently did not have time to stop before striking the car. “The next thing was the big bang and she was up over the car.” A police spokesperson said the accident is under investigation.

The town police increased their donations to the United Way of Colchester by 27 per cent for last year. Deputy chief Glenn Rogers recently received a leadership pin from the United Way for his $650 contribution. “What makes it so easy to donate is the payroll deduction,” he said. “You never really miss it.” Rogers said he is happy to assist the charitable organization in its annual campaign to raise $250,000. Funds raised during the coming months will be invested in Colchester County projects and programs delivered by non-profit organizations. “It’s always a good feeling to help support the community,” Rogers said. The campaign started in September and will end in mid-winter. So far about $180,000 has been raised or about 72% of the organization’s goal. Founded in the early 1950s, the United Way of Colchester is one of six in Nova Scotia and 126 across Canada. In 2001, $224,000 was collected while last year $252,000 was collected.
