Leamington man in hospital; two killed in firey crash On February 5 at 12:20 a.m., a woman who observed a fire in the area of Coatsworth Road and Herman Line, Tilbury East Township, went to check on it. On arrival she observed a vehicle completely engulfed in flames and extensively burnt. The woman tended to an injured man who was close by and she also called for emergency services. The involved car had been travelling northwest on Coatsworth Road approaching the intersection at Herman Line. The roadway makes a large Sbend to the right at this location and the car left the roadway to the west and crashed into the ditch near the intersection and burst into flames. One victim extricated himself post-collision. While he suffered numerous injuries which included burns to approximately 60% of his body, he was alive. He reported that there were two other occupants in the vehicle. Traffic Unit members were called to the collision scene for an investigation and scene examination, which had to be put on hold overnight due to fog and the inability to properly photograph and see the entire scene clearly. The survivor of the crash is Johnny Bergen, 18-yearold Leamington man. He was transported by ambulance to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance and later airlifted to the London Health Sciences Centre where he remains in critical condition. The two deceased persons have been identified as Jake Fast, 18, and Frank Wiebe, a Gr. 12 student at Leamington District Secondary School, both of Leamington. An official from the C-K Police Service would not possitively confirm the victims names at press time.

Leamington honours Windsor Symphony By C. Lloyd Brown-John
There were many great moments on Saturday evening, February 4, when the Windsor Symphony again entertained residents of the community with another of its super Classics in the County series concerts and, when in turn, the Municipality of Leamington honored departing WSO Maestro John Morris Russell. From one perspective, at least there was no final examination at the end of the evening’s spectacular concert of lectures, flute and even piccolo music. Guest artist, renowned Canadian flutist Robert Aitken, entertained both musically and educationally with his performances in three different compositions. His accompanying talks were humorous and informative as he shared background and insights into his own composition, “The Plainsong”, and on compositions by Johann Stamitz (1717-1757) and Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801). The concert, the third in the WSO’s “Classics in the County” series, co-sponsored by Pelee Island Winery and Highline Mushrooms, was a real “Flutapalooza” with works by Johann Stamitz and his son Karl Stamitz (1745-1801) – both considered
part of the incredible Mannheim School of music and musicians. Italian composers Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) and Domenico Cimarosa were highlighted with their classic concertos – Vivaldi’s “Piccolo Concerto in C major” and Cimarosa’s (Continued on Page 8)
