AWAITING THE SEACLIFF BEACH SUNSET
LEAMINGTON — As the onset of spring melts away the Lake Erie ice along our shoreline, many area residents are getting out to watch the sunsets over the lake. That was the case with this group, who took advantage of a washed-up tree along Seacliff Beach to enjoy the view. Originally from

ONTARIO — When masks were first mandated in Ontario in early 2020, nobody — including politicians and health officials — expected Ontarians would have to wear those masks for two years. As of Monday March 21, the mask mandate in most settings was rescinded, allowing bare-faced shoppers and diners to enter retail and restaurant settings without the masks on their faces. As of Monday also, school students were allowed to attend school without masking. The decision by the Ontario government to remove the mask mandate did not come without detractors, who spent the past two weeks begging Premier Ford, Dr. Moore and their offices to consider leaving the masks on in schools until April 1. The concern is that students returning from March Break can bring the COVID-19 virus back into the school system with them and spread it easily without masks being worn. Time will tell if the system can withstand surges in cases in the coming weeks, and life can continue returning to a more normal, pre-pandemic state. As of Monday, patrons in retail and restaurant settings no longer had to wear masks, but were encouraged to do so.

On their way to work
Wheatley mother and daughter killed in crash
LEAMINGTON — A Wheatley mother and daughter — on their way to work in Leamington — were killed Friday morning, March 18 when their vehicle was hit head-on by a pick-up truck. At approximately 6:45 in the morning, Carrie Steeman, 50, and her daughter Jacqueline Steeman, 30, were travelling westbound on County Rd. 34 (Highway 3) between County Rd. 21 and County Rd. 37 when an eastbound pickup truck sideswiped a utility van and hit their vehicle head-on. The crash occurred in the 600 block of
County Rd. 34. The driver of the pickup — 22-yearold Jacob Fehr of Chatham-Kent — was taken to hospital and later remanded into custody on two charges of impaired driving causing death and two charges of driving while disqualified. A bail hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, March 22. The driver of the utility van was uninjured, according to OPP. The Steemans were both employees of Elring Klinger in Leamington and active members of Unifor Local 444.
