Persuading a teenager to become a lifeguard has never been easy. But as outdoor pools in the Chicago area get ready to open for the summer, many for the first time in two years, recruitment is proving harder than ever.
Elkton Town Commissioner Robert Massimiano honored one of Elktonâs most famous and dedicated civil servants, with a portrait of former town commissioner Mary Jo Jablonski. The portrait will be hung at the Elkton Administration office, Elkton Chamber & Alliance Office, along with prints being available for printing through Accent Printing.
âItâs something I wanted to do shortly after she passed, Mary Jo and I were great friends,â said Massimiano, who served on the board of the Elkton Alliance with Jablonski.
The three other sitting town commissioners, Earl Piner, Jean Broomell, and Charles Givens attended the event to honor Jablonski. Jablonski played an important role in creating the modern downtown Elkton, as she helped spearhead the creation of Main Street and the Elkton Arts and Entertainment District. She passed away from cancer in 2019 at the age of 59.Â
Homemade signs and bumper stickers have been seen on vehicles with Alberta licence plates since B.C. health officials first advised people not to travel outside their community early in the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 23, B.C. introduced its strictest travel orders yet, prohibiting people from travelling between three zones, including a combined zone for Vancouver Coastal Health and the Fraser Valley, another for the Northern and Interior health regions and a third for Vancouver Island. Anyone travelling for non-essential reasons could face a $575 fine. The travel restrictions do not prohibit interprovincial travel, which means there are no penalties for Albertans or any out-of-province travellers who come to B.C. unless they cross regional boundaries.
