Horticultural Society plants tree in memory of Ken Clark
On May 20, members of the Leamington Horticultural Society, family and friends gathered at Mersea Park to plant a Carolinian Eastern Redbud tree in memory of past member and president Ken Clark. The members were joined by Ken’s wife Sharon, his son Gary and daughter-in-law Linda. The redbud is a vase-shaped tree with small clusters of rosy-pink flowers along its branches in May and turns a yellow colour in the fall. The tree was purchased from and planted by staff from the Peanut Centre Nursery. Ken was president of the Leamington Horticultural Society for four years. His knowledge, leadership, organizational and carpenter skills were a great benefit to the society. His carpenter skills can be seen in the park by the playground where there is a picnic table designed by Ken and built by the two Kens – Ken Clark and Ken Habing in 2013. The recently planted tulip tree for Earth Day and the redbud tree are both by the ball diamond and will provide shade, colour and environmental benefits for years.
Masking requirements lifted at most Essex County facilities The County of Essex has lifted masking requirements to align with changes recently announced by the provincial government. This means members of the public, tenants and staff are no longer required to wear masks while in county facilities, as long as they can maintain a distance of at least two metres (six feet) from others. This includes Essex County Library branches and other buildings operated by the county. The one exception is Sun Parlor Home, where masks will continue to be mandatory to protect vulnerable residents, as
required by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. As well, Essex-Windsor EMS staff members will continue to wear masks during all patient interactions and when entering any facility, such as a hospital or long-term care home, where masking is required. They are no longer required to wear masks in EMS and county buildings and while in EMS vehicles, except while providing patient care. In all circumstances, members of the public are asked to respect the decision of those who choose to continue wearing masks.
