Annual awards recognizing the work and contributions of local labour representatives went out at Sault Ste. Marie and District Labour Council’s monthly meeting, on May 27. Cody Alexander, president of USW Local 9548, received the annual Health and Safety Award. Former city councillor Joe Krmpotich nominated Alexander in recognition of his focus on keeping himself and his fellow workers safe in the workplace. “Cody has held the safety line for his fellow workers, with his employer, to ensure that the workers go home in the same condition that they arrived at work in,” said Krmpotich in his nomination form.

Having made Sault Ste. Marie home, a world-renowned Flamenco guitarist hopes to host a concert locally once COVID restrictions have ended. Born in England with Gypsy ancestry, guitarist Antonitas D’Havila has never been formally trained in guitar. His father introduced him to the guitar and he has played seriously since the age of 12. He then perfected his Flamenco technique by travelling Europe, spending time living and playing in Spain and France before, at the age of 20 in 1969, he signed a record deal with RCA Records. D’Havila has released 20 albums since then, sometimes under his pseudonym Ray Isaacs, with more than 100 of his own variations on traditional Flamenco motifs. He has also contributed to scores for six films and television shows. Sesame Street, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Knotts Landing, and the Olympics have used his music.

Ticks and Lyme disease are becoming more of a public concern to Algoma Public Health. Chris Glibota, public health inspector with APH, said “There are a variety of reasons for a potential increase in ticks in Algoma which include climate change (specifically an increase in the number of heat degree days per year), and changes in the range of hosts such as the white-footed mouse and white-tailed deer as well as migratory birds from other areas of Canada and the United States.” Ticks require wooded and bushy areas to establish themselves, but as they feed on and are transported by migratory birds, it is possible to encounter a tick almost anywhere, though it is unlikely to find one in a backyard in the middle of the city, Glibota told Sault This Week.
