WE COULD BE IN FOR THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR TODAY BUT A CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS OR EVEN A THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON COULD COOL THINGS OFF.
EVEN THOUGH THE ALL CLEAR WAS GIVEN TUESDAY AFTER THAT SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE WAS FOUND AT THE JUDY LEMARSH BUILDING IN CHATHAM, THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. THE OPP URBAN CHEMICAL RESPONSE TEAM CHECKED OUT THE WHITE POWDER EVENTUALLY GIVING THE ALL CLEAR. THE BUILDING IS OPEN TODAY, BUT THE CHATHAM -KENT POLICE ARE DETERMINED TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE PACKAGE.
THE CUPBOARDS ARE CLOSE TO BEAR AT THE LOCAL FOODBANKS IN WALLACEBURG SO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE IS PITCHING IN TODAY TO HOST A FOOD DRIVE. THEY ARE ACCEPTING DONATIONS AT THEIR LOCATION ON DUFFERIN AVE. FROM 4:30-7 PM AND ARE ASKING FOR NON PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS AND BABY ITEMS. THIS IS ALWAYS A TOUGH TIME OF YEAR FOR THE FOOD BANKS WHEN PEOPLE GET BUSY AND GET AWAY FROM THEIR NORMAL ROUTINE OF GIVING.
NO SCHOOL CLOSINGS ANNOUNCED BY THE LAMBTON – KENT DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD, BUT CLASS ROOM CLOSINGS INSTEAD. WITH TOP UP FUNDING ALREADY BEING CUT BY THE WYNNE GOVERNMENT AND THEIR OCCUPANCY RATE AT JUST 74 PER CENT, THIS IS SEEN AS A BIG COST SAVER. BY LEAVING 100 CLASS ROOMS DARK THEY CAN SAVE ABOUT 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE YEAR.
