May 19, 2022

May 19th is the 139th day of the year. There are 226 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Chatham Maroons won in Cambridge last night 3-2.

Chatham heads to St. Catherines on Friday to play the Falcons before their final GOJHL Sutherland Cup Round Robin game on Sunday at Memorial against the Cambridge RedHawks at 3pm.

The top two teams from the round robin will advance to a best-of-3 series to decide the Sutherland Cup champion.

There’s another Chatham-Kent Public Health‘s Catch Up Clinic today in Dresden.

If your student needs to catch up with their routine school immunizations Lambton Kent Composite School is hosting a clinic 2:30-7pm.

Check here for the full clinic schedule.

It’s almost the long weekend, and you know what that means when it comes to gas prices…right?

But not today…or tomorrow. Prices at the pumps in the province are expected to drop 3 cents per litre today, and another 10 cents Friday.

The cheapest gas in Ontario will be in Peterborough at 204.9 and the most expensive in Sudbury at 220.9 (gulp!) cents per litre.

In Chatham this morning, the average price is 207.6. Wallaceburg 204 and 199 in Tilbury.

Chatham’s Fergie Jenkins will be honoured Friday morning in Chicago outside of Wrigley Field with a statue.

Fergie’s statue will join his former Cubs teammates Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Ron Santo on Statue Row.

“I’ve seen the finished product,” Jenkins, 79, said from home in Frisco, Texas, “and I’m pretty excited.”

The ceremony will take place at 11:30am (12:30pm Eastern) with words from Mayor Darrin Canniff and Chatham-Kent Town Crier George Sims, a longtime Jenkins friend.

Fergie was a 284-game winner who won 167 with the Cubs and was the first Canadian inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

With the Victoria Day 2022 long weekend around the corner, time to stock up.

LCBO and most Beer Stores will be closed on holiday Monday.

Select Beer Store locations across the province will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the holiday but all locations of LCBO will be closed. The Richmond Street location is the only local Beer Store that will be open.

The LCBO and Beer Store across Ontario will be open for regular hours for the rest of the weekend.
