SKATE WHEATLEY HOSTS SWEETHEART SHOWCASE

The 12th annual Sweetheart Showcase took place this past Saturday at Wheatley Area Arena with 80 skaters from area clubs including South Windsor, Harrow, Tilbury and Wheatley performing many solos and group numbers which demonstrated skating skills from junior to senior levels. Along with the on-ice action, a highlight for many club members included having retired Canadian figure skating champion, Olympic and World champion Don Jackson in attendance to watch his grandson skate. These two young ladies had a busy week as Lauren Meadows, left, and Lily Mayhew pause during their performance. Lauren and Lily are also featured this week on page 4 for spearheading a group of youngsters from Comber who made Valentine cards for patients at Erie Shores
