If you got it, haunt it
By Greg Coulter WHEATLEY – The home of Chris and Samantha Corless and their four kids on Pier Road in Wheatley is again transformed this year to all things Halloween. For over 30 years, the last 10 in Wheatley, their collection of decorations sees their property turned into a boo-tiful sense of humour and playfulness. It’s been a tough year for the folks in our town,” said Samantha. “I hope this gives them a little entertainment”.
Over 40 totes of props, many homemade, are on display for the month of October and numerous passersby stop and snap a quick picture. Closer to the big day, more items are added as weather permits. Sporting a big smile, Samantha eagerly adds, “We’re a mix between the Munsters and the Addams family, inside the house as well as outside.” When asked if she tears it all down in November and starts with Christmas items, she responded immediately with, “Nope, I’m a Halloween girl.”
Letter to the Editor
Thanks to Mr. Fix-It Dear Editor: I would like to thank the town employee who was repairing the Little Library box at Seacliff Park (again). It is so sad to see these little pleasures we have destroyed. Since COVID, that little box has been a lifesaver to me and my husband, who is an avid user of our Leamington Library. I have found it a wonder-
ful source to downsize my books, magazines and CDs. Thank you to the Rotary Club for your idea of such a program. To whom it does apply, don’t destroy our little pleasures in life. Thanks again ‘Mr. FixIt’.
LEAMINGTON — What started three years ago has grown and grown, according to Priscilla Marentette, when speaking about her front yard display at 834 Mersea Rd. 5, east of Highway 77. Priscilla and her husband began decorating the interior of their home in August and moved to the outside displays in September. Each year, they add a few more items, creating the perfect scene for Halloween spooking. Inset is the Skeleton family. SUN photo
