For the second time in three weeks, the Chatham-Kent Barnstormers have the IBL Pitcher of the Week on their team.

Chatham’s Garrett Day has been named the Co-Pitcher of the Week. The Barnstormers’ closer was lights out in three relief appearances, notching 3 saves in 3 innings. He allowed just 1 run, 3 hits, walked one, and hit a batter—locking down three of Chatham-Kent’s four wins during the week.

He shared the honours with a pitcher from the Barrie Baycats.

In late May, Barnstormers pitcher Mizuki Akatsuka picked up the award.

The annual Ford Fireworks are back over the Detroit River on Monday, June 23rd.

To get you downtown easier, Transit Windsor is once again offering a free shuttle. Shuttles will depart from the Devonshire Mall parking lot starting at 6:00 p.m., getting you to the waterfront. Following the fireworks, return shuttles will operate until midnight back to Devonshire Mall.

Fireworks are scheduled for 10 p.m. on June 23rd, with Tuesday, June 24th as the rain date.

The Strawberry Moon lit up the sky overnight.

Some say that the June Full Moon is one of the most beautiful of the year, it marks the start of early summer.

Despite its name, the moon doesn’t look red or pink, but rather large and golden. “Strawberry” comes from Native American traditions. June is the time when wild strawberries ripen in parts of Canada and the United States. Indigenous Peoples used this moon as a signal to start gathering the fruit.

This full moon comes just before the summer solstice, which falls on June 20th this year. About every 20 years, the full moon and the solstice happen on the same day. The next full moon after this one will be the full buck moon, which will rise on July 10.

The tariffs are now affecting our pants.

Lululemon announced last week that they will be raising prices in response to tariffs. The price increases on products will be “modest in nature” and only applied to a “small” portion of Lululemon’s products.

“We are planning to take strategic price increases, looking item by item across our assortment as we typically do,” the chief financial officer said last week.

Lululemon says the hikes will roll over the next few weeks.
