Is this your pup? I think he is an Akita mix. He was found running down the path on tecumseh road east next to the car dealerships that leads to esplanade dr. Next to the little River. He went behind the row houses on Esplanade. He seemed friendly but would not come to us when we called out to him. He looked very thirsty, there's lots of water around but I'm not sure if it's safe for pups to drink.

Hello,

I am starting this petition to discuss the recent closure of the basketball courts at St. Joseph's High School. As a former student of St. Joseph's. I have always enjoyed being able to play basketball at the courts, alongside many others since the school was first built in 2006. We have been spending our afternoons doing this for nearly 9 years and up until now there has never been a problem nor complaint.

There are now locks on the doors and a security guard making sure no body enters the courts. Also the school board telling us that we need to rent these grounds from here on out if we are to play at these courts. We am formulating this petition in efforts to reopen the basketball court to the community.

I have not seen any other basketball courts around the city being locked up like this. I think you could agree with me here that if someone were to rent out a space to play basketball, it would be a gymnasium. The school board has indicated to us that the soccer field at St. Joe's HS which is on the same property the basketball court is "rented". I have approached the friendly people that partake in soccer practices a couple times a week that have also been there for a few years to find out if they pay any kind of rental fee to use the track/ soccer field, and they stated that they did not.

The courts are small as it is, and do not even have proper netting on the rims. Only 1 out of 6 nets have mesh that we have personally put up, not the school board. All of us here at the courts have also maintained and respected the grounds and cleaned up all garbage. Making people pay for this court seems a bit extreme. Especially after so many years. We don't know what seems to be the problem. Many other guys alongside myself are only trying to live a healthy lifestyle by playing basketball somewhere near our homes, and feel this closure is discouraging this.

As most of us are former students of the school and residents of the area, we would like to continue to be able to play basketball where we always have. We now ask you of your time to please sign our petition so we can forward this to the school board in efforts of re-opening the courts to the community as it always has been.

We thank you in advance,

Fellas from the basketball courts at St. Joe's

Thank you so very much to Dougal Ave Vet Hospital, I went there this evening thinking It was time to put my cat Mookie down because of not being well and other issues :( which was breaking my heart as she is my best friend and life line and I appreciate every day I wake up to sharing another awesome day with her, my tears we're louder than any words that I couldn't speak, well the very BEST Vet and Vet Tech, I have now found, refuses to put cats down if he can find a way to save them. He new that finances were an issue for me as I had just had so many things happen in the last 2 months that I didn't expect my Mookie to be sick. Dr. Khahra did many different tests on Mookie and found a way to save her for me, while making it affordable than one could even imagine. Thank you so very much from myself and Mookie and I will never forget how much dedication you put into saving Mookie this evening. These last few months have been overwhelming and would have been even more empty with out my buddy at home with me, The Cats and Dogs are lucky to have such a wonderful Vet on their side, Thank you Dr. Khahra and staff.

Saturday night between 930pm and 1030pm. I was at the Foundry downtown. I looked out the window and saw a young couple stop and talk to another young couple who were living on the streets. They talked for a few minutes and proceeded to take the two into a shwarma restaurant for a hot meal.

On Monday July 27, we were laying a sweet baby boy of a dear friend of ours to rest. As we drove in the funeral procession, we were touched as car after car pulled over. When we approached the intersection near Cabana road, there was a Enwin utility truck stopped and the crew was making repairs. When we passed the crew, the young gentleman removed his hat and nodded as a sign of respect. This deeply touched the hearts of the friends and family of this dear baby boy. It was nice to see that there are some good people left in this city. You have been spotted Enwin.

I have lost my American passport card either Sunday downtown Windsor somewhere or Monday near Devonshire mall or south Windsor. It's in a protective sleeve with a gold Starbucks card.

To the lady in the food court line behind me at Costco today who decided it would be a great idea to cut in front of me saying "I'm just getting a pop" while avoiding eye contact and a look of disgust on her face while quickly going up to pay...I understand you were just getting a pop. Congratulations. It wouldn't have been an issue had you asked politely and actually waited for a response. Next time, have some manners and wait just like every other person that was in line. My 10 month old son has more manners than you. I hope your pop spilt all over you when you left Costco.
Sincerely,
The woman who learned to wait her turn in Kindergarten
