Mill Street School property sold locally By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The South Shore Christian School has finalized plans to purchase Mill Street Centennial School from the Municipality of Leamington. The municipality purchased the school at the corner of Lutsch Avenue and Mill Street East from the Greater Essex District School Board in January.

KINGSVILLE – Essex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a report of a vessel in distress off Kingsville on Lake Erie on Friday, June 18 around 12:45 p.m. The operator of the 29-foot vessel was fighting strong winds and waves and noticed that it was taking on water. The three adult occupants onboard soon realized the boat was beginning to sink and they ended up in the water. All three were wearing lifejackets. A call was placed to 911 from witnesses onshore and the OPP marine unit and Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC Trenton) were engaged. Prior to the OPP marine unit or JRCC Trenton-deployed units arriving on scene, a civilian vessel
made its way out to the three parties and assisted with their rescue. All parties were accounted for and no injuries were sustained in the incident. The OPP would like to remind all boaters the importance of the use of properly functioning fitted and approved lifejackets and Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs). Anyone with information regarding this or any other incident is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.catchcrooks.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

tunities in the waterfront area,” she said. As for the South Shore Christian School, they are happy to be able to expand. “We are very excited to relocate to a larger facility that will allow us to accommodate our growing enrolment,” said Treasurer and Board Member Sharon Arthurs-Pepper. “We look forward to a larger facility where we can increase capacity and create modern learning environments for our students, giving them the best opportunity to succeed.” The investment by South Shore will allow about 135 students to move from their current location inside South Point Community Church on the Bevel Line to the new location, just in time for school year start-up. The new location can accommodate up to 285 students. South Shore Christian School is a non-denominational faith-based, child-centered and family-focused school that serves students from JK to Grade 8. The purchase price is currently not disclosed but will be publicized once the deal closes at the end of this month.
