Allison Foran spent time Friday at the new Chatham-Kent Animal Shelter helping put in plants, trees and shrubs.
By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com
The Friends of the New Animal Shelter in Chatham got a little help from their friends in beautifying the grounds of the new shelter, set to open to the public in the next few weeks. A crew of volunteers got to work Friday morning, planting annuals and trees around the shelter building on Park Avenue, with folks from Union Gas Helping Hands, the Chatham Horticultural Society, the 2018 IPM Beautification Committee and students from the University of Guelph
Why a REALTOR®?
horticultural studies program. According to shelter project co-ordinator Lynn McGeachy, the volunteers helped with the project’s financial goal to put the gardens in through donations and help with the planting of the garden. “Many of these people are pretty seasoned gardeners so we’re pretty grateful for the help they are offering to us,” McGeachy said. “Earthworks has been very generous to us in terms of being able to help us stay within our budget in terms of our project. That’s what’s happening here today Brick Rancher
and in no time they will have it all planted and it will be beautiful.” Edwinna Rawlings, with the Chatham Horticultural Society and the IPM Beautification Committee, said her IPM group had $1,000 from that event they wanted to use for other beautification projects and chose the new animal shelter as the recipient. With the $1,000 donation from Union Gas Helping Hands, she said the group had $2,000 to work with for the planting. McGeachy said the progress on the new shelter is going well and a donor

event is coming up soon, followed by getting the animals settled in the new space. “The intention is to have a community open house June 8 and for all of us involved in the project, we can hardly wait to show it off, because it’s a fabulous asset for Chatham-Kent,” McGeachy explained. “Right now, it’s just efficiency work just trying to get those last little things done before they take occupancy of the building.” She said thanks to a very generous community, a lot of items on the wish list for the shelter have been acquired.

Business as usual at Glitters By Sarah Schofield sarah@chathamvoice.com
Glitters Fun Eatery manager Gino Buffone says he wants to set the record straight and let everyone know that although the building was recently sold, it is business as usual at the Chatham restaurant and their doors remain open. The recent sale of the building has prompted a lot of calls from concerned patrons asking if the restaurant was closing, which Buffone said they need not worry about. “The building has been sold to an undisclosed purchaser but the business hasn’t been sold,” said Buffone. The restaurant, which is a downtown staple, will continue to run as nor-
mal, and customers will not see any changes. “I will be continuing to operate as the owner and manager until the end of 2020,” said Buffone who has been at the downtown location since 1983 when the restaurant opened as the Movieola Cafe. Changing names to Glitters Fun Eatery a couple years later, the beloved family run business is now in its 36th year of operation. With its characteristic movie-themed interior, Buffone has fond memories throughout his years at the establishment working with his family, including his wife Judy, and meeting customers. “We’ve been received extremely well by Chatham and we even have some customers from the initial opening who come to this Cell:

been touching. “It’s complimentary in one sense that they are interested in what’s happening,” he said. With a busy summer season planned for downtown festivities, Buffone is excited and ready to
