Chatham-Kent police lay charges at Wheatley church WHEATLEY — On Sunday, April 25, Chatham-Kent Police responded to the report of a large gathering at the Old Colony Mennonite Church on Wheatley Road 1. At this time, approximately 87 unoccupied vehicles were observed in the parking lot. A short time later, several adults and children exited the church without
masks on. At this time, police spoke with a member of the church, who confirmed that 128 members attended mass. In addition, there were children present in separate classrooms. On April 27, a 44-yearold Wheatley man was charged with failing to comply with a continued 7.0.2 order as per Ontario Regulation 364/20, of the
Reopening Ontario Act, 2020, section 10(1). He will be required to attend Provincial Offences Court on May 19, 2021. ”It is unfortunate that some people still choose to not comply with the law, considering these laws are put into place for everyone’s safety, including those who choose to break them,” said Chief Gary Conn. “This pan-
demic requires a concerted effort by all our citizens in order to abate and eventually eradicate. It is only through compliance, cooperation and collaboration that we will overcome this virus. I am once again urging citizens to please comply and assist us in helping you.”

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of
DonalD Toomer May 6, 2008
If only the sky could open And your dear face I could see, Oh, what a wonderful feeling I know would come over me. But you are with the angels Far from sin and pain, Where Jesus said “Believe in Me And thou shalt see him again”. Although you can’t be here with me We’re truly not apart, Until the final breath I take You’ll be living in my heart. Always in our thoughts and sadly missed, Linda and family
