DECORATED AND READY FOR GHOULS AND GOBLINS LEAMINGTON — This home at the corner of Danforth Avenue and Hayward Street is usually among the community leaders when it comes to decorating for certain events throughout the year. Their Christmas and Canada Day decorations are on point, but the effort put into their Halloween display is equally appreciated by passers-by of any age. Sun photo
Kingsville announces new deputy fire chief The Town of Kingsville has recently introduced John Quennell as a Deputy Fire Chief. Quennell’s temporary appointment includes leadership and oversight for the Kingsville Fire Department while the current Fire Chief and Deputy Chief are on indefinite leaves of absence. Quennell’s most recent tenure was at the Town of Lakeshore as Deputy Fire Chief. Previously he
was a firefighter with the City of Windsor from 1978 until 2010, where he retired with the rank of Assistant Chief. “We’re pleased to have Chief Quennell join our municipality and provide leadership during this time,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “The residents and businesses of Kingsville can rest assured that the Fire Department continues to provide high quality fire
and rescue services and will continue to do so as they are called upon in the time of need.” In this role, John Quennell will report to the town’s Chief Administrative Officer and participate as a member of the Municipal Senior Management Team. All volunteer firefighters, including the station chiefs and full-time staff, will report to Quennell directly.
Due to limited hours there isn’t much to report about goings-on at our local Branch. So far Meat Draws have been our only activity and thanks to Todd at the Super Store the trays of meat are fantastic. The Branch is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 3 to 7 p.m. Only 50 people including staff and volunteers are allowed in at a time. If we are at capacity and you wish to sign in for the toonie draw only you may do so, wearing a mask, and then leave. Gerry Soulliere ran the Meat Draws on October 10 and also won a tray of meat. Other winners were Gerald Rivait, Debbie Tremblay 2, Judy Pickle 3, Penny Hyatt, Sandy Simpson, Linda Niehus and Doug Miller. Dick Whittle won the 50/50 draw. On October 17 Claudette Sykes ran the Meat Draws and the winners were Penny Hyatt, Hilary Hyatt, Gerald Rivait, Julie Reid, Greg Hodgson, Sue Symons 2, June Epplett, Norma Dunmore and Brian Collins. Duane Simpson won the 50//50 draw.
