Old Kent courthouse, and jail in local hands
By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com
While its future still isn’t known, the former Kent County Courthouse and Jail historical building is now in local hands. According to local realtor Carson Warrener, his family purchased the building after the province put it up for public sale for an approximate $1 million price tag. The municipality was offered the property to purchase, but passed on it. The former Kent County Courthouse and Jail building, built in 1849, was designated a heritage building by Chatham-Kent council in 2003, and was closed in 2014. “We own similar buildings in the downtown vicinity and it’s always been on our radar as a significant historic building,” Warrener said in an interview with The Voice. “Over the last 11 or
12 years, as they moved the courts out and then more recently moved the corrections facility out, it was pretty obvious it was going to become surplus so we were watching and listening, and then it did come up. “It’s not that it’s really something we needed; but you never need a historic building,” Warrener joked, “But the community definitely needs them from the historic preservation side of it.” The original jail building is made of white limestone. Of historical significance and interest is that Canada’s second prime minister, Alexander Mackenzie, worked as a stone mason on the project when he first came to Canada looking for work. It is also one of only four remaining buildings in Chatham that predate 1860. The Warrener family, led by patriarch Dan, are known in the community for purchasing historical-

ly significant buildings and re-purposing them for community or private business use. One example is the former Chatham Armoury beside Tecumseh Park, which now houses businesses and is used as an event centre available to rent by the public. “The municipality has the first right of refusal and they obviously passed, so that allowed it to go to the open market. There was quite a bit of interest from other folks, so we were pretty quick to get an offer in and get that process started,” Warrener explained. “The big question everyone has is what are your plans; what are you going to do?” He said his family doesn’t have a plan yet, as they need to learn more about the building, which is unique historically as well as architecturally, with the courts and jail in one facility.

Chatham’s own Bridget Carleton (21), a senior with the Iowa Cyclones, watches for a rebound Nov. 21 against the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Carleton was joined by about 1,200 cheering family and friends as she made a special return to her hometown on Nov. 21, armed with her Cyclones teammates. With a final score of 85-59, Iowa won the NCAA Division-I game hosted at St. Clair College’s HealthPlex. The Cyclones try to play a game close to home for each senior, but this marked the first time the team came north of the border to play.

“Some areas you could use today pretty much, but there are others I’m not so sure you’d even want to go in them right now,” Warrener noted. Chatham-Kent newly elected councilor and retired police officer Amy Finn said the news the Warrener’s purchased the building is positive for the community. “I think it’s great,” Finn said. “You can do tours through there. I don’t know what he has planned but it’s our heritage. You’ve got the superior court room up there that is just beautiful.” She said she has visited former jail sites in other communities that had historic tours and even hotel rooms.
“I’d be very interested to know what they have planned. I think it’s wonderful the building has been sold to someone in the community who really cares. They don’t want it to go to trash; there is a lot of history there.” The main courtroom of the building has a large stained glass ceiling piece that is unique, and Warrener said the panel behind the judge’s chair also makes the room very interesting. He said it would certainly be a focal point. “Coming up with a use for it will be interesting, as the building wasn’t built to be accessible, so that poses a lot of issues for use, and zoning is a bit of an issue as it is in a residential neighbourhood,” Warrener mused. “Some-

We’re pretty open communicators and we find that is usually the best method of connecting the pieces and coming up with something that will help protect the building.” The biggest issue, he said, is that the building has no use right now and requires extensive renovations before the use can be changed. The courtroom will most likely be the first area they will be able to come up with a use for to generate an income stream. They also need to keep the building from falling into further

Access is the issue: Lacina Any demolition of rendering plant hampered by access
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Everybody wants to see the old Darling rendering plant torn down, according to municipal officials. The only problem is accessing the property. In last week’s edition, The Chatham Voice detailed concerns by business owners and police of the goings on by squatters and thieves at the property. Squatters took up residence on the property while thieves have used it as a place to sort out their stolen loot, and to burn insulation off stolen copper wire prior to attempted sale to local scrapyards. Paul Lacina, director of Building Development Services for the municipality, said his department has received complaints about the property and reached out to the property owner, O&G Investments. “We’ve spoken to the property owner about getting the remainder of the building knocked down,” he said. “The issue is access to the property. My understanding is
that the previous access the owner had has been removed by the owners of the railway.” The property is bordered by McGregor Creek from the northwest to southeast, and by rail lines on the west and south. CN/ VIA has the rail line running east-west across the south face of the property, But the confusion lies with the north-south line, which borders the best access point to the property on the west side. The rendering plant is located closest to the western edge of the property. Lacina said there is an access point where a pickup or other light vehicle could cross the railroad tracks, but heavy equipment, such as a dump truck or excavator, couldn’t. According to CSX Rail spokesperson Katie Chimelewski, CSX owns the north-south property, but has leased it to CN and sold them the tracks. She said CN maintains the tracks. Lacina said the property owner has been quite

Notice of Open House Ridge Landfill Expansion, Waste Connections of Canada In the spring of 2018 Waste Connections of Canada commenced with an environmental assessment study under the Environmental Assessment Act to expand the existing Ridge Landfill. The Ridge Landfill has been serving the Municipality of Chatham-Kent community for 50 years and will reach its approved capacity by approximately 2021. Adding capacity to the Ridge Landfill will enable Waste Connections of Canada to continue to provide long term residual waste disposal capacity to industrial, commercial and institutional customers in southern and central Ontario, as well as the Municipality of Chatham-Kent for the next 20 years.
EA Update Work has been completed to identify and evaluate alternative configurations for the expanded landfill including alternative leachate treatment and landfill gas management methods. Preliminary results of this evaluation will be available at the Open House for your review and comment.
You are invited to our second Public Open House! The purpose of the Open House is to get your input on the preliminary evaluation of alternatives ways to expand the Ridge Landfill. Time & Date: December 6, 2018 from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Location: St. Mary’s Hall, 94 George St, Blenheim, ON
Following the Open House, additional studies will be completed to determine ways to mitigate potential impacts the proposed expansion may have on the natural, social, economic, cultural and built environment. This work is being undertaken based on the Amended Terms of Reference for the project approved on May 1, 2018, by the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks. The approved amended Terms of Reference is available on the project website www.ridgelandfill.com. Waste Connections of Canada is continuously committed to enhancing waste recycling and reduction programs. Information related to these efforts will be presented at the Open House.

The big ones are the stunt drivers.” Denorer added drivers are also spotted too often trying to get ahead of one last vehicle on the way into construction zones at the last second. “A lot of times, we’ll see people coming into the one lane and they’re getting passed. The other person is getting one car ahead and they’re putting everybody at risk,” he said. “All it takes is that
one person who passes on the right to have a collision. At the worst, someone is hurt or killed.” Over the past five months, local OPP officers have hit the road for regular patrols, but have also conducted the focused patrols inside construction zones. Denorer said that consists of officers monitoring “the big four” – speeding, lack of seat belt use, aggressive and distracted driving, and impaired driving.
Ward 1 results under challenge
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
The October municipal election results for West Kent are under a challenge. Municipal officials say former mayoral candidate Robert Salvatore Powers has challenged the results in the voting for councillors from that ward. The application, which does not challenge the results in any other ward or that of the mayor’s position, will be heard before the Superior Court of Justice Jan. 2. Mark Authier, the top vote getter in the recent election in that ward, with 1,991, said it is his understanding that Powers initiated the challenge over the validity of the ballots. “They put the number up from each area community that you could vote in on the regular polls. Apparently what happened is someone used a pen on the top and it didn’t show up properly,” Authier said. “Basically what he (Powers) is saying is, ‘How come this isn’t here?’
But apparently it doesn’t have to be on the ballot. It’s used so candidates can see where they were stronger or weaker.” Powers could not be reached for comment. The official results showed Authier and Melissa Harrigan as the successful candidates with 1,991 and 1,682 votes respectively, while Bryon Fluker (1,050), Mark Pastorius (252) and Jordan Dell (88) were not elected. John Norton, Chief Legal Officer and General Manager Community Development, said the municipality will take whatever direction is given by the courts. Judy Smith, Chief Returning Officer and Clerk, had responsibility for overseeing the election and confirmed the results Oct. 24. Norton said since the matter is now before the courts, the municipality will not make further comment. According to municipal officials, the municipality will continue with the planned swearing in process for the new council on Dec. 3.
Consultation Public consultation is a very important aspect of the EA process. Our second public open house will be held on December 6th, 2018 (see text box above). Members of the public, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the planning process by attending consultation events or contacting Waste Connections to provide information, comments or to ask questions.

CKPS rep on provincial board
By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com
Chatham-Kent will see one of its own as a vice-chair on the Ontario Association of Police Service Boards (OAPSB). Recently, the OAPSB held its annual executive election, and Chatham-Kent Police Services Board Chair Pat Weaver was elected vice-chair of this organization. Eli El-Chantiry of the Ottawa Police Service remains as the chair and Phil Huck from Waterloo Regional Police Service remains as the deputy vicechair. “There is a nomination process once a year and representatives from all the Ontario police service zones vote on who they wish to be their chair and two vice-chairs,� Weaver explained. The OAPSB is the leading voice of police governance in Ontario. They serve members and stakeholders, as well as the general public, by helping local police services boards fulfill their legislated responsibilities by providing training and networking opportunities and facilitating the transfer of knowledge; and advocating for improvements in public safety laws and reg-
ulations, practices and funding mechanisms. “Pat Weaver was elected vice-chair of the Ontario Association of Police Boards Pat Weaver because his peers recognize him as a highly accomplished leader in police governance in Ontario. We are extremely fortunate to have him on our board of directors,� said El-Chantiry in a statement. For Weaver, it means more work on his plate and travel to quarterly meetings, but he is happy to represent Chatham-Kent policing interests, and the public’s, at the provincial level. There is important legislation currently before the Legislature, which he said the OAPSB is heavily invested in getting right. “Organizationally, what we do the most, for the past four years, is lobby the provincial government because the previous government changed the Police Act for the first time in 25 years and incorporated it into the new Bill 175 Safer Ontario Act,� Weaver
noted. “As a board representing all the police services boards in the province, we’ve been lobbying heavily for some of the changes in the Act.� Bill 175 is currently stalled in the Legislature, as it is being reviewed by the new government under Premier Doug Ford, but Weaver said the OAPSB will be part of the process. The most important changes they are working on, according to Weaver, are governance training for all police board members in the province. He said members can be duly elected, appointed by the municipality, or appointed by the province. “What we want to ensure is that every person who lands on a police service board is fully trained in governance because we are the representatives of the community to the police services,� Weaver explained. He said that issue is one the OAPSB is working hard to change the rules on training. Fred Kaustinen, executive director of the OAPSB added, “As an OAPSB board member and committee chair, Pat Weaver’s knowledge, leadership and drive have helped us resolve some highly complex issues re-

Staying in local hands Supporters of preserving our heritage in Chatham-Kent are breathing sigh of relief now that the Warrener family has purchased the former Kent County Courthouse and Jail building on Stanley Street in Chatham. The original white limestone building, built in 1849, was designated in 2003 by the municipality as a property of heritage and cultural value, and according the designation documents, is one of only four buildings in Chatham-Kent that pre-dates 1860. The building also has the distinction of having Canada’s second Prime Minister, Alexander Mackenzie, as a young stone mason who worked on laying the limestone blocks on the rear wall of the jail. The Warreners are no strangers to buying and re-purposing significant historical buildings in Chatham. Their work on the former Chatham Armoury and its vibrant use as an event venue saved that building from falling into disrepair and ruin, and several buildings in downtown Chatham have been restored to their former glory thanks to Dan and family. In Chatham-Kent, we are lucky to have people with the means, the community mindedness and the vision to look at the potential of a grand old edifice and transform it into a modern, yet historic revenue-maker. The Warreners, as well as the Myers with the incredible restoration and upgrade at The Retro Suites – and all those people who support heritage restoration and preservation – have stepped up where the municipality has stepped down. There simply isn’t enough public money for the upkeep and preservation for all the historically important buildings and properties in our community. We are exceptionally thankful to have private sector business people who are true visionaries and while they need some kind of return on their investment, have the community’s best interests at heart. Whatever plan the Warreners come up with for the old courthouse and jail, we know it will be innovative and will be an important part of our community. That’s a lot of pressure on them, but we know they are up to the task, and the community will come along for the ride.

Opinion
Kudos to Theatre Kent, Capitol Sir: Recently, I was proud to be from Chatham-Kent. My wife and I attended the Theatre Kent special, “40 Years – the Sounds of TK” at the Capitol Theatre. My pride stemmed from two reasons. The first was the level of performance by everyone involved in the production. We give a lot of attention in this area to sports events and our many, successful local athletes, but now I know that we also have a great many local, very talented, live theatre performers and musicians. Their class and talent
were really evident, from the first planners to the orchestra to the singers, dancers and choruses. The high level of commitment by all involved showed up in all of the numbers, and the entire evening moved along very professionally, as the audience proved by their applause for every segment, all night. Theatre Kent has given us so much talent over the years, and this show provided it once again. Kudos to all. The second reason was the venue chosen – the Capitol Theatre. This
evening would have been really good at the Cultural Centre or any other location, but the facilities at the Capitol helped to make it outstanding. I have been a barbershopper for 50 years and have sung and/or competed at theatres, auditoriums, banquet halls, arenas and many other locations all over Ontario, and believe me, the Capitol is as good as it gets, anywhere. The theatre inside is magnificent, the stage is outstanding and can easily handle the more than 60 people and musicians that
were all on stage together many times. The sound system, lighting and backdrops were first class and added so much to the show. Also, there is really not a bad seat in the house. I know we spent a lot of money to get the Capitol to where it is today, but it is worth it. If you have not yet been there, at least put it on your bucket list; you won’t regret it. Finally, once again to all of you talented people and Theatre Kent, thanks for a truly great evening. Frank Sysel Chatham
Seniors’ isolation letter rings true Sir: What a wonderful letter from reader Paul Prown (“Social isolation a danger for seniors,” in the Nov. 15 Chatham Voice). My wife and I are elderly (although I certainly don’t consider myself old) and, although we have six middle-aged “kids” be-
tween us, we never hear from any of them. We moved to Chatham in September of 2009 and, although we didn’t know anybody before we came here, we were introduced to a friendly bible-teach-
ing church in town and are grateful we belong to our church “family” plus several neighbours who are friends! If it wasn’t for that, we would probably also feel we were in “social isola-
tion.” As the number of seniors increases, Paul’s fears are quite valid, especially as we draw nearer to Christmas. Which is a time when families often get together. Stephen Beecroft Chatham

Honouring C-K’s agriculture experts
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Local agricultural experts received accolades on Nov. 21 at the 72nd annual Rural-Urban Dinner put on by the Chatham-Kent Chamber of commerce. Robert Kerr received the agriculturalist of the year honour, while Joseph Grootenboer earned ag innovator (individual) accolades and Veritas Farm Business Management took the ag innovator (business) award. Ron Faubert was named friend of agriculture, and 4-H members of the year were Adam Reid and Emma Richards. Adrian Van Dyck, emcee of the event, credited the judging panel with selecting very qualified recipients. He added farmers have evolved with the changing technology. Today, farmers utilize farm equipment that is essentially driven by GPS systems. While in those machines, the farmers also use social media to check in with one another. Kerr, who just enjoyed his 48th crop year, said he has seen a great deal of change in the industry over the years. “Every year is different. We’ve made tremendous progress. We now have precision farming – the perfect spacing of seed, autopilot tractors and down-pressure on planting

How police train for a crisis
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Stay calm, and develop a strong rapport. Those are important
words to live by as a police crisis negotiator. Chatham-Kent and Niagara Regional police officers, along with staff from the Canadian
Mental Health Association took part last week in a crisis negotiators course in Chatham. Tom Hart, of Canadian Critical Incident Inc. (CCII), put on

the course. For two decades, he served as a crisis negotiator with the Durham Regional Police. He said it is all about how to communicate and negotiate. In many cases, when officers are faced with a crisis situation, it’s due to mental health issues. “You have to recognize the illness and develop a negotiation strategy,” he said. “The whole focus is a peaceful resolution. It could be two hours or two days (of negotiations).” Primarily, such crises occur in the form of an escalated domestic dispute, Hart added. “It could also be brought on by drugs, alcohol or poor coping skills,” he said. “Regardless, the focus is to resolve the crisis, stabilize the person and get them treatment. Listening and de-escalating is crucial.” Hart said a sign of progress in such negotiations is developing a rapport with the person, and that begins with an accurate assessment of what is troubling them.

“You can then build on that rapport and then can help influence that person,” he said. Patience and tolerance are must-haves. Participating officers said it is crucial training, as frontline officers are negotiating on a daily basis. Const. Fraser Curtis with the CKPS took part in the course for recertification purposes. He’s been a crisis negotiator for the past seven years. “This training is very valuable. It’s something that’s needed on the road,” he said. “There are times when a call comes in and a crisis negotiator is the primary contact. You work to de-escalate and have a positive outcome.” Sgt. Albert Pilbeam of CKPS said there is “tremendous value” in crisis training. “In any hostage environment, negotiation has to be at the forefront,” he said. “It’s something that happens with a high degree of regularity.” Pilbeam added officers must be aware of the various mental illnesses from which a person could suffer. Sarah Faubert, who works with the CMHA, said taking the course offered her the chance to learn a new perspective. She is part of the CMHA’s crisis team. “It’s important to have knowledge of mental illnesses and have validation techniques to de-escalate,” she said of police officers. “We (CMHA) might know the historic diagnosis and any resources there are in the community to help an individual. The officers have a different set of skills than the CMHA. But we can integrate these skill sets.” When media caught up to course participants on Nov. 22, they were involved in mock hostage negotiations.

Dealing with crises Continued from page 8
Hart had set up scenarios where actors were holed up in rooms at the nearby Holiday Inn Express, and teams of negotiators had to work to de-escalate the situations. The teams were comprised of five officers – an incident commander who had oversight of the situation, a tactical commander who offered advice on force options should the negotiations falter, and three officers involved in direct negotiations with the person in crisis. “We make it challenging, but realistic,” Hart said of the scenarios. Curtis said the scenarios offer the closest thing to an actual situation and trump anything taught in a classroom setting. He added that an officer has to learn to remain calm no matter what is thrown at him or her. “It can be stressful. Keeping a level head is pretty important,” he said.

Church explores 200-year legacy By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com
Next year will mark 200 years of an Anglican presence in Chatham-Kent, and with that significant milestone comes a community project exploring the history of Christ Church. As just one component of the bi-centenary celebrations, Christ Church of Chatham and scholars from the History and Faculty of Theology at Huron University College, London, have received a grant from the federal Social Science and Humanities Research Council to study this narrative arc, according to Christ Church community liaison Devin Andrews. This joint research project, titled “Finding Christ Church: Social Justice in history, memory, and contemporary practice,
1819-2019,” aims to both explore and interpret this rich history, and investigate how the legacy of these stories retains a relevancy and urgency today that can motivate the community to address contemporary ills. “That very first faith community would later go on to become this present-day church, Christ Church, but would also play a role in helping to count all the Anglican churches throughout the county,” Andrews noted. He said in the 19th century, the Anglican church in Chatham used its public platform and considerable resources to support the movement to end slavery in the United States, and to speak out for racial equality in partnership with the black abolitionists and freedom seekers who made up one-third of Chatham’s population.

Christ Church will be exploring its 200-year history in a research project partnership with Huron University College in London, Ont. Some of the people involved include, from left, Christ Church Warden Ron Hunter, Rector Rev. John Maroney, and church member Ralph Deline, along with Huron faculty member Dr. Nina Reid-Maroney and church liaison Devin Andrews.
“A century later, Chatham-Kent was the epicentre for African-Canadian civil rights activism, in challenges to racial segregation that led to the passage of Ontario’s landmark human rights legislation. Yet in 2018, Chatham has been identified as a hub in the network of human trafficking that runs along the 401 corridor,” Andrews said in a
release. “As a community located in the downtown core, Christ Church deals with the consequences of modern slavery on its doorstep.” Huron University College professor, Dr. Nina Reid-Maroney, from the Department of History, will be one of the people working on the project with student summer research interns, along with
Dr. Amy Bell, and Department of Theology professor Dr. Gary Babcock. “We see this as an exploration of the past as well as an exploration of the contemporary relevance of that Christ Church history,” Reid-Maroney said. “In addition to the student interns, we also involve students in our class work which connects directly to this material and course
work on civil rights, on historical method, and on Canadian and American history.” She said a class of students has already visited Christ Church and they will be taking part in a workshop in January to discuss digitizing the research material and making it accessible to the public.

Union Gas gives $20K to hospice The Chatham Voice
Union Gas recently supported the Chatham-Kent Hospice Volunteer Program with a $20,000 donation towards volunteer network initiatives. “Whether it’s working together on infrastructure projects, contributing as leaders in the business community or
supporting local charities and non-profit groups, Union Gas feels strongly about working with our neighbours to make our great communities even better,” Steve Baker, president, Union Gas, said in a media release. “We support the Chatham-Kent Hospice and the volunteer network initiatives as they are critical to making a real
and lasting contribution to our community.” “Volunteers are important members of our Hospice Care team and are key to services offered to local families. All our volunteers are provided with specialized training when they start as well as ongoing support and training
so they can provide the best possible end-of-life care to our Hospice families. We are very grateful to Union Gas for their generosity. The funds will help
us continue to support our 200 active volunteers who fill a variety of roles,” shared Melanie Watson, Volunteer Coordinator, Chatham-Kent Hospice.

A legacy of ministry and community

“Students will be participating in an event in June, planned as a ‘living library’ event. People who have experience to share, in this case, connected to the civil rights history of the mid20th century, become the books, and the people who attend ‘check out’ a living book and have a one-onone,” Reid-Maroney said. “It’s informal oral history and a way of connecting to a living memory instead of
thinking that this is something that just happened in the past.” The findings and conclusions developed over the course of the project will be presented in stages throughout the coming year. It will conclude with a one-day conference on Oct. 19, 2019 aimed at linking the congregation’s inspirational history to fighting similar present-day injustices. The keynote speaker at this event will be Wanda Thomas
Bernard, Senator for Nova Scotia and Chair of the Parliamentary Committee for Human Rights. More details on the conference and on Christ Church’s bi-centenary celebrations will follow as the dates approach. To follow along with the research over the next year or to provide information to the project, people can go to huronresearch.ca/findingchristchurch, or contact Andrews at devinandrews@ hotmail.com.

Open house at ’Burg hospital Nov. 29 Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) is inviting the community to an open house at the Wallaceburg site Nov. 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Following Chatham-Kent Municipal Council’s approval of the site plan for the replacement power plant project, the open house provides the community with an opportunity to learn more about CKHA’s redevelopment of the Wallaceburg site, hospital officials said. Hosted as an informal open house, members of the community may drop-in at their convenience throughout the evening. While at the open house, attendees have the opportunity to meet CKHA’s Board members and participate in 10- to 15-min-
ute guided tours of completed and upcoming projects that are essential to the renewal of the Wallaceburg site. Attendees are asked to enter through the main entrance (facing Margaret Avenue) as the open house will be centralized in the reception area near the information desk. “Following the council’s approval of the site plan, we wanted to engage with the com-
UCC hosting career night
munity and provide the community with an opportunity to learn more about the project and the redevelopment of CKHA’s Wallaceburg site,” Lori Marshall, President and CEO, CKHA, said in a media release. “Building a new power plant that is capable of supporting current and future developments is essential to renewing the facilities at the Wallaceburg site. This project is important to
reaffirming our commitment to meet the specific needs of the community for years to come.” After announcing $7.3 million in project funding from the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care in April, CKHA received site plan approval of the power plant project at the Chatham-Kent council meeting held Nov. 19. The province’s grant will go towards the construction of a

new power plant to replace aging equipment with new boilers, generators and electrical distribution equipment. The expansion is part of the province’s plan to update hospital infrastructure in Chatham-Kent and follows the Ministry’s 2017 approval for $1.5 million under the Hospital Energy Efficiency Program to replace old heating and cooling distribution equipment at the Wallaceburg site.

Staff at the St. Clair Catholic District School Board hope to help students with their career choices. To that end, they’ve organized Pathway to Careers Nov. 29 at Ursuline College Chatham. The evening event, which begins at 6 p.m., will connect students and their parents with local employers, as well as several post-secondary institutions, to discuss career options. Lisa Harnarine, head of guidance at UCC, said the evening is open to students in grades 7-12 at the board. “There are lots of opportunities for students. They are aware of some options, but they don’t necessarily know what they will do with their education and training once they are done,” she said. “We will have a cross-section of employers in the community on hand and they’ll have the opportunity to speak to the students directly.” There will be more than 30 employers on hand, Harnarine said. That includes the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, local homebuilders, and municipal economic development officials. “We chose people where kids have expressed interest, community partners,” she said. “These are people we use for experiential learning opportunities.”

CLASSIFIEDS In Memoriam
In Memoriam
If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, We would walk right up to heaven, And bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it To met your Saviour in the sky. What it meant to lose you, No one can ever know. But now we know you want us, To mourn for you no more. To remember all the happy times, Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten, We pledge to you today. A hallowed place within our hearts, Is where you’ll always stay.
Forever in our hearts and loved by the Osborne, Smith and Strack Families

IF YOUR CAR STARTS TO SKID OR HYDROPLANE, slowly steer in the same direction as the skid, but don’t look toward it: keep your focus on where you want to be on the road.
If your car gets stuck on a sheet of ice, KITTY LITTER can come to your rescue! Thanks to its moisture-absorbing properties, litter creates enough traction on the slippery surface for your tires to grip and go.
Because COOL AIR is dryer than warm air, TURNING ON YOUR CAR’S AIR CONDITIONING IS A GOOD WAY TO QUICKLY DEFROST OR DEFOG YOUR WINDOWS IN ANY SEASON. In fact, most recent cars automatically trigger the A/C when the airflow is directed toward the windshield.
TIME OF DAY IS ONE OF THE MAIN RISK FACTORS FOR FALLING ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. Indeed, nodding off — or coming close to — while driving is more common between midnight and 6 a.m. and between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., as our metabolism tends to slow down during these periods.It’s true

At just 50 km/h, the impact of a crash is comparable to falling from a four-storey building. It also multiplies the weight of everything in the vehicle by at least 20, meaning that a 70-kilogram passenger becomes a 1,400-kilogram projectile. ALWAYS FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT: it cuts your risk of severe injury and death in half.
