New B-I-N-G-O game launched by OGVG REGIONAL — Next week’s copy of the Southpoint Sun will kick-off an exciting new program that will net some local lucky reader a $5000 prize. The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) are in the midst of a campaign to connect with our readers and the back pages of the Southpoint Sun have carried some useful information on a bi-weekly basis for the past several weeks. Next week, however, they will launch their ‘Our House To Yours’ BINGO. “We want to engage with the residents and help people understand the significant economic impact that the greenhouse industry has on this area,” says OGVG General Manager, Joe Sbrocchi. “This bingo adds a little fun to it.” Sbrocchi is hoping that the campaign will help people understand a lot
of the good initiatives that the greenhouse sector is a part of in the community, and how this area is helping to feed people all across Ontario. “We hope they can appreciate what happens in our industry, and how it happens,” he said. OGVG Marketing Consultant, Dani Sweet, came up with the idea for the bingo, which is ready to launch in the April 21 edition of the Southpoint Sun. “We want to give back,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for people to win a little bit of cash.” Sweet pointed out that, during the pandemic, everyone is looking for something fun to do and this contest helps them get their message across and provide some fun for the participants, all the while having a chance to win some cash. “We’re excited to get this going,” she added. Bingo cards will be in-
serted into the April 21 edition of the Southpoint Sun and will also be available for pick-up at different sites throughout the area. About 25,000 cards have been printed and the game will be played much like a regular bingo game. There is a limit of one card per person. There is a 75-number board, from which numbers will be pulled every week, according to Sweet. The amount of numbers posted will vary each week, but the numbers will be printed on the Southpoint Sun’s back page and also available on the OGVG website, the Southpoint Sun website and Facebook. There is a $7,000 total prize board to be won and the first person to fill their card will receive
$5000. Other prizes are also available over the 10-week bingo contest for different line configurations. At the end of the contest, anyone wanting to send their cards in with their
email address attached, will be put into one final random draw for a $500 cash prize. Full rules and details will be printed on the back page of next week’s Southpoint Sun.

REGIONAL — With the Emergency Brake Shutdown announced April 1, still fresh in the minds of Ontarians, Premier Doug Ford doubled-down and issued a new State of Emergency for the province, accompanied by a stay-at-home order, which took effect Thursday, April 8 at 12:01 am. The order is expected to last for 28 days, at which time it will be re-evaluated. With COVID-19 positivity numbers on the rise, the Premier and his health table made the announcement last week to stem the spread of the virus and it’s more dangerous variants. The stay-at-home order and
emergency declaration effectively closed restaurants to indoor and outdoor dining, leaving many eateries with take-out as their only option. The announcement was met with harsh criticism from both sides. Anti-lockdown groups decried Ford for killing small business during what many of them call a ‘plandemic.’ On the health and science side, those groups were equally as critical, saying that the Premier didn’t do enough — soon enough. During the 28-day shutdown, personal care salons were also forced to shut down. Big box stores like Walmart and Costco — long maligned because
it was felt they were not essential — were hit with restrictions that saw them cordon off several sections of their stores. That action was done to allow smaller businesses to compete on a more level playing field. Golf courses can remain open throughout the shutdown, but campgrounds cannot accept overnight campers. The shutdown moves along as vaccine numbers continue to rise in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent. According to the Windsor Essex County Health Unit, about 87 per cent of adults 80-plus have had at least one dose of vaccine. The race between the vaccine

and the COVID variants of concern rages on, with the variants holding a decisive lead province-wide. The local health units, however, have so far, been able to stay ahead of the virus by vaccinating over 25 per cent of the adult population, namely the 60plus age groups. The hope is that — with the stay-at-home order slowing down the virus — the vaccination programs be able to Fromwill self-employed ret make tremendous progress over we’re here to take care the next three-and-a-half weeks.
