Santa stops in Leamington
OPP Constable Kevin O’Neil has been putting together the program for the Oldtimers benefit hockey game in Leamington for 12 years and this year is no different. With the local charity game slated for Feb. 2, Const. O’Neil started approaching longtime supporters in the community. He was shocked when a couple of merchants said they had already given money to someone who called and said they were representing the police for a charity hockey game. “I don’t want to say they were fraudulent, maybe they were collecting for a different charity hockey game, but they definately were not collecting on behalf of the OPP Oldtimers hockey game in Leamington,” said O’Neil. “I have never contacted anyone by phone, I always see them in person,” said O’Neil. O’Neil also reminds people to never give out their credit card information to a phone solicitor. “I just want to put the word out there so people are aware of this. I was very upset to hear this,” concluded O’Neil.

$250,000 loss at Napa Auto Parts fire At 12:30 a.m. Saturday, November 24, the Leamington Fire Service along with the Ontario Provincial Police were called to attend Napa Auto Parts at 22 Victoria Avenue South in Leamington for a structure fire. The cause of the fire is undetermined and the building was released to the owner. Thirty firefighters were on scene for four and a half hours. Approximate damage estimated at $250,000 for the building and contents. Heavy smoke and fire was reported to be coming from the front of the building on arrival. Kingsville Fire Service was called in to assist with manpower and for coverage in event of another call. The fire was contained quickly. Due to building contents, runoff was contained mostly to the building. The road was closed as workers cleaned road surfaces and catch basins.
Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were greeted by thousands of admirers in Leamington Saturday evening, despite chilly temperatures. Both sides of Erie Street were lined with onlookers waiting to get a glimpse of the jolly old elf and the floats and attractions that preceded him. (SUN Photos)
