By Mark Ribble The St. Michael’s Catholic Women’s League is celebrating 75 years this year and a special time capsule, buried in 2001, was opened on Wednesday, April 15. The capsule, buried 25 years ago to celebrate the CWL’s 50th anniversary, was located and dug up with lots of help as onlookers anxiously waited for the capsule to be opened. After some work getting it out of the ground, the plastic tote was opened, only to find that water had entered the capsule over the 25 years it was in the ground. Among the finds inside were candles, a CWL pin, a commemorative plate and plenty of paper items that did not survive the 25 years underground. Mary Lapos, who was Past President in 2001,

said that they left specific instructions at the church for the opening and what would be inside. Father Tom Ferrera was

on hand to do some of the digging, conduct a prayer and display some of the surviving items. The Catholic Women’s

League will officially celebrate their anniversary with a special evening at the Roma Club on May 2. And another time cap-

sule is planned this year, which would be opened in 2051 — the 100th anniversary of the CWL.

Marina getting new power pedestals Boaters at the Leamington Municipal Marina will notice new power pedestals on Piers C/D and E/F in the coming months. Some 73 marina power pedestals, which house power for each boat docked at the marina, will be replaced with new ones, according to a report brought to Leamington Council on April 13. According to the report, the existing power pedestals were installed in 2011 and already began to fail by 2012. Parts are no longer available so they have to be replaced. A tender by Pedestal Solutions Inc. was put forward by administration at a cost of $370,195 plus HST. It was the

only tender submitted. The funding for the replacement was already in the marina capital budget for 2026. Councillors Heather Latam and Tim Wilkinson both asked about warranty and why the original pedestals were not covered under warranty at the time. It was explained that a warranty claim was made but refused by the original company. Administration assured council that the agreement reached with Pedestal Solutions includes a comprehensive warranty. With that, council voted unanimously to accept the tender. Work will get underway shortly.
