CiB floral display winners
By Catherine Riediger LEAMINGTON — We are back! Last year we had to cancel our annual Floral Display Contest because of the pandemic but this year, with the lifting of restrictions and adhering to the rules, the Floral Committee chaired by Eileen Wonnick was able to view the many beautiful nominated front gardens. As reported by Eileen, they had difficult decisions to make but were able to select six properties: 30 Orange St., 25 Erie Glen Crescent, 3 Garry Crescent, 5 Garry Crescent, 741 Talbot Rd. E. and 45 Wakefield Ave. Each owner received a sign, a gift certificate from Scott’s Miracle Gro and a congratulatory letter. This week we are featuring 30 Orange Street and 25 Erie Glen Crescent. In the following weeks, we will be featuring the remaining four properties – two properties each week. 30 Orange Street has been the home of Sidney and Glenn Sellick for 15 years and has been lovingly restored in keeping with the period when built. The walkway to the entrance of the home is lined with marigolds. In the garden are daisies, begonias, ferns and sedum, plus a Rose of Sharon now in bloom. All have been watered with rain water and are truly showing the benefits. Their garden has inspired the neighbours to follow suit, creating
a truly beautiful neighbourhood with 30 Orange as the centrepiece. 25 Erie Glen Crescent is the home of Rita Temkow and is a great example of what can be done with a small yard completed over a four-year period. The grass has been replaced with black rubber rock and in keeping with the overall theme interspersed with decorative rocks, a fountain, decora-
tive statutory and shrubbery. Window boxes and various sizes of pots are filled to overflowing with coleus and colourful million bells. It’s a true delight to behold. These and the other four properties to be featured demonstrate that the Communities in Bloom motto “People, Plants and Pride Growing Together” is alive and well in Leamington.

LEAMINGTON — The neighbourhood on Joanne Court was rocking to the sounds of the Leave Those Kids Alone band on Saturday night, as the popular local group played to a couple hundred neighbourhood fans. The street was filled with lawnchairs as the kids played hit songs by Kansas, The Beatles, Peter Frampton and other ’70s stars. Band members, from left, are Louis Diab, Luca Angelini, Timothy Hole and Alex Bonadonna. The drummer, 11-year-old Addisyn Bonadonna, isn’t visible in the photo, but sets the tone for the boys as they play popular classic rock songs note-for-note. The concert was free, but those in attendance made sure to tip the youngsters. SUN photo
