SECC Community Change Maker Scholarship applications open
FASTEST MASCOT IN THE AREA
Blaze, the mascot for the Windsor Warlocks lacrosse program, was victorious in the annual mascot dash at Point Pelee National Park as the Southern Footprints race kicked off in grand fashion on April 24. The event drew 13 mascots from all over the county and city, with Blaze besting the rest in considerable fashion. Holy Names Knight finished second and the Southpoint Sun’s Sunny — a former standout in the race — finished back in the pack. Here, Southpoint Sun editor Mark Ribble, left, presents this year’s ‘fastest mascot’ award to Blaze as race organizer Dave Campbell looks on. The mascot race was sponsored and organized by Crime Stoppers. SUN photo

The community is full of change makers, and we all see their impact day after day. We hear stories of individuals, families and businesses who make a positive impact on the lives of others in and around the community. As an agency that provides community services, South Essex Community Council (SECC) is working to foster and support the next generation of community change makers. “We want to encourage youth who are service-oriented, willing to collaborate, and who are driven to make meaningful change for a purpose,” said Carolyn Warkentin, Executive Director, SECC. “One of the ways we are able to do this is by offering these scholarships.” To ensure our communities are vibrant, strong and thriving for generations to come, SECC has once again
opened applications for the SECC Community Change Maker Scholarship. This scholarship will provide financial support through a $500 scholarship to four 2022 high school graduates who are planning to use their post-secondary education to make societal change in the wider community, in the province or around the world. Students currently enrolled as a Grade 12 student at Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, UMEI Christian High School or Kingsville District High School, who have been accepted to begin studies at a post-secondary institution, are eligible to apply. They must be actively making change for the good in their school, neighbourhood, or community. Applications are due Tuesday, May 31 and can be found on secc.on.ca/scholarship.

Tait well plugging underway in Wheatley The next step in remediation of the Tait Well in Wheatley, located in the municipal parking lot, will begin during the coming week. The project team is planning to use downhole charges to perforate the well casing. This is being performed in order to create holes in the casing in order for the cement to reach all areas of the well as
part of the plugging operations. These are industry standard procedures that are routinely, and safety used in the local oil and gas industry. Any noise or vibration associated with the casing perforation is part of the site operations. Chatham-Kent Fire and Emergency Services will continue its on-site presence.
