Equipped with a Chevrolet Aveo which has racked up 260,000 kilometres, she worries about even making it, and if she were to miss work it would be detrimental as the pay cheque is critical for Lashmore\u2019s daily routine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before being awarded the new car she was handcuffed by constant repairs. Naturally, with a reliance on transportation, there was a mixture of shock and relief when Lashmore found out she would be the recipient of a new Mazda.<\/p>\n \u201cIt brings down the stress level quite a bit in my world,\u201d she said. \u201cComing back and forth from Wallaceburg at quarter-after four in the morning, you want something reliable, in the winter especially. So yeah it\u2019s \u2026 wow, amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s been 30 years since Lashmore has driven a car with a manual transition, so for her first trip in the new car will consist of going straight to a parking lot to practice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The whole plan came to fruition with the help of John McGregor high school. Students from the special high skills major auto shop program chipped in 10 lunch hours worth of labour for the United Way Chatham-Kent\u2019s\u00a0Rebuilding Wheels Rebuilding Lives program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The idea was brought to the United Way thanks to the school\u2019s auto shop teacher James Stonehouse. He was inspired to bring this program to the region after reading about how E.J. Lajeunesse high school in Windsor had incorporated it with its students.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAll because of a magazine article we now have a program in place and this family has benefited from it,\u201d said Stonehouse, who now hopes to push the program to as far as Sarnia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Representatives from across the region including some from Chatham-Kent family services, Lally Ford, and Chatham Mazda were on hand during the presentation in the Mazda dealership showroom on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [72] Robert Englund, actor (\u2018Freddy Krueger\u2019 in \u201cA Nightmare on Elm Street\u201d)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [63] Bj\u00f6rn Borg, Stockholm, retired tennis player (former #1 ranked player, 11-time Grand Slam winner, first to win six French Open singles titles)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [52] Paul Giamatti, actor<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [12] Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, actress (\u2018Lily on \u201cModern Family\u201d since 2011)<\/p>\n \u00a0_______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A Round-Up of Good News Stories for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n It’s the 75th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allied forces\u00a0landed\u00a0at Normandy in World War Two.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was a major reason we won World War Two. \u00a0And here are a few inspiring stories we’ve seen around the anniversary this week .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Back in 1969, he wrote a folk song called\u00a0“The Shores of Normandy”<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 And for the last few days, it’s been\u00a0Amazon’s TOP-SELLING SINGLE in the U.K.\u00a0\u00a0“I Don’t Care”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0Ed Sheeran<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Bieber<\/strong>\u00a0is second.<\/p>\n \u00a0_______________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n POSITIVELY FOUL:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n One researcher says that most often, people use swear words to elicit humor.

Down Tour<\/em>\u00a0— his only stadium show — and set a new attendance record with more than 56,000 fans.<\/p>\n Eric is a fan of CMA Fest for several reasons, not the least of which are the fans who descend on Music City from around the world.\u00a0 [“I like it because all year long, we go to their town and we entertain ’em, and this time of year, they’re coming to mine. I can still sleep in my bed at night and we still get to hang with ’em all day. And just as an artist, it’s a neat event. It’s a neat thing. And it’s unique to country music. I mean, if you look around at the other formats, they don’t have this — CMA Music Fest, Fan Fair. I think just to have that and to be able to see ’em, and see the same people every day, and some people schedule their entire year, vacation time and save up money to come and do this. So, to have people do that for country music — not just me personally — but country music, it’s a really, really cool thing.”]<\/p>\n Eric will take the stage at Nissan Stadium on Friday (June 7th), along with\u00a0Little Big Town, Dan + Shay, Thomas Rhett<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Carrie Underwood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 6th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":6584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-19 00:56:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2019\/06\/on-todays-show-172\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6623"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6634,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6623\/revisions\/6634"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
