Tonight is known as Mischief Night, or in some places, Devil\u2019s Night. It\u2019s the night before Halloween, when kids and teens traditionally play pranks on neighbours, friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name depends on where you live. In Vermont and New Hampshire, it\u2019s called Cabbage Night, dating back to a tradition of throwing cabbages at people\u2019s homes. And around Detroit, it\u2019s known as Devil\u2019s Night \u2014 a name that\u2019s become infamous over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big story out of the GOHL<\/a> last night: the Legionnaires won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time since February 2025, the Sarnia Legionnaires hit the win column with a 4-1 win over the St. Thomas Stars Thursday night. The victory snapped a 67-game losing streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now can they go back-to-back? Sarnia travels to Komoka for their next game on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, giving us an extra hour of sleep \u2014 but it\u2019s also a good reminder to check your smoke alarms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clocks fall back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, and the Chatham-Kent Fire Department<\/a> is encouraging residents to change the batteries in their smoke alarms at the same time. It\u2019s a simple step that can help keep you and your family safe. While you\u2019re at it, make sure your alarms are working properly and replace any units that have reached the end of their service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
