Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Dominion especially closer to Cabana has become a Harzard once again. Several times since school began I have witnessed a number of close calls, or had them myself. Drivers do not seem to know the Rules of the road, or just don't care. IF you are in a lane with a parked car on the road YOU have to wait for oncoming traffic NOT try to squeeze between.
Coming around the BEND by Cabana speed limit slows down 30 I think FOR GOOD REASON. You can't see oncoming traffic, people turing into their driveways or the parked cars/ trucks that oncoming traffic has to go around them. Too many times I've witnessed mostly (young drivers, co ordinates with St. CLAIR yr beginning) behind the wheel of these speeding vehicles, having to slam on their brakes to avoid a collision, or see them lose control and swerve into the opposite lane or speeding down Dominion only to slam there brakes at the 4 way stop by Roselawn. Dominion is not as bad during the summer months. DOMINION is a two lane residential road not an expressway. There is no need to speed/ try to squeeze by parked vehicles.
Thank you to Anthony in east Windsor who paid for my order at the goodwill industries thrift store on Thursday, September 27th. I'm a teacher and when he found out I was spending my own money and investing my own time to get materials for my classroom he paid for my order! He said tell your students there are still good people in this world like you and I! Thank you to Anthony- your act of kindness won't be forgotten and will be paid forward! I'll tell my students about your kindness tomorrow! They will appreciate the materials!
Id like to shout out to Mayor Drew Dilkens for taking the time out of his busy day to help a citizen in distress.
Mayor Dilkens was travelling on Sandwich Street in the west end by strickly fishing on the corner of sandwich and chippewa street when a gentleman had took a tumble on the road. The gentleman was an older fella who was suffering from exhaustion and heat stroke. Mayor Drew Dilkens assisted the man and stayed with a small group of people as he called for paramedics.
Its not everyday that we have people in our community that we see doing good acts.
Thanks again Drew

Tuesday around 5 pm I was pumping gas at the Canadian Tire Gas Bar on Dougall when I witnessed a Black Pickup hit a child on a bike as he was pulling out of parking lot child was coming from the left and the truck hit the child on the right front bumper knocking the child to the ground and bike ended up under the truck. Driver did get out but in less then 10 seconds jumped back in his truck and turned right. The child proceeded slowly toward the shoppers drug mart there was a gentleman who said he was a patient transport person I asked him to walk over to shoppers to check on the child he did and came back said child was fine. Being a mother I think the child was in shock. If your child rides a blue bike and wears grey backpack and locks his bike up when he goes into shoppers around this area please ask them if it was them and make sure they are ok. It happened so fast I was shaking and unable to get or give any more information but As a parent I would want to know if my child was involved in a hit and run and some person didn't even have the decency to stay more then 10 second. The truck was gone before the child even picked up his bike.
On Monday, September 17, 2018 I found some gold jewellery in Parking Lot on Goyeau Street across from Hotel Dieu Hospital ($3.00/ 4hrs) lot.
I'm sure this is of great sentimental value.
Please contact me via email with description to claim lost items.
I hope we find the rightful owner.

Monday September 17th around 6pm I was involved in a hit and run. Of course police couldn't find the guy. If anyone witnessed this I ask you to PLEASE PLEASE contact the police with any information. It occurred on tecumseh road east going east bound between pillette and princess. It was a large white SUV with American plates, male driver shaved head. He did not hesitate to flee and took off too fast for me to get a plate number. My 3 year old son was in the vehicle with me and thankfully everyone is ok. Please anything anyone seen this man needs to be taken off the road before he causes a more serious accident
