It’s Movie Night at the Capitol!

Come by the Chatham Capitol Theatre tonight at 7 to see Reese Witherspoon in Wild on the big screen.

$5 cash at the door, or flash your pass. Everyone is welcome. Concessions are available.

Tonight’s the second night of Community Open Houses to discuss the 2020 Municipal Budget.

Anyone who has questions or comments are invited to the Blenheim High School cafeteria and Wallaceburg Municipal office tonight and tomorrow at the Active Lifestyle Centre (Merritt Ave) Chatham.

Sessions will be 4:30-6.

Budget deliberations will begin January 28th 6-10pm in the council chambers at the C-K Civic Centre.

There are now two Canadians in The National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Maple Ridge, B.C’s Larry Walker recieved enough votes in his last year of eligibility. He played outfield for the Expos, Rockies, and Cardinals. Chatham’s Fergie Jenkins was the first and only, up until last night, voted into the hall in 1991.

New York Yankee great Derek Jeter was voted in in his first year of eligibility. It would of been unanimous, except one person out 397 voters, didn’t vote for him. He would have been the second ever unanimous pick.

Jeter and Walker will be inducted on July 26th at the Hall in Cooperstown, New York.

Ô Canada!

The National Weather Service has issued an iguana warning for Florida because of the cold temperatures that are blanketing the state.

“This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrrr!”

Iguanas are basically stunned by the cold and fall to the ground.
