AREA: Tecumseh / Windsor</b>
********************
COMMENTS:
<b>Saturday, August 20th, 2011 to May 2012
</b>
Portions of North Talbot Road (on each side of the Bridge over Highway 401) will
be closed for up to a nine month period, beginning Saturday, August 20th, 2011,
at 0300 hours. This temporary closure is required to accommodate the widening of
Highway 401 from four to six lanes and to replace the existing North Talbot Road
Bridge with a wider bridge as part of the Windsor-Essex Parkway project.
<b>Detours:
</b>
A detour for North Talbot Road traffic, which follows Howard Avenue, Highway 3
and Walker Road, will be used as the primary detour route during the temporary
closure. A route via Concession Road, Provincial Road and Walker Road will also
remain available throughout the closure.
<b>NOTE</b>:
Motorists may experience periodic delays during this time. The Ministry of
Transportation and the Parkway Infrastructure Constructors regret any
inconvenience caused by these closures.
Advisory messaging will be provided seven days in advance and during the
closure.
<b>Maps detailing the detours are available on the Windsor-Essex Parkway website at

<ul><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;">(Essex County, ON) Between the dates of August 20 -22, 2011, the 401 will be closed from County road 19 (Manning Rd) to the Hwy 3 interchange. Both westbound and eastbound lanes will be closed, but there will be access from the eastbound Dougall Parkway. </span>
<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;">The closure is for planned construction at the North Talbot rd overpass and the 401. </span>
<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;">Motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible, but if needed, they are asked to be patient and to follow the marked EDR (emergency detour route) which will be along County rd 19 and Hwy #3. </span>
<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;">The Ontario Provincial Police will be deploying additional resources along the detour route to ensure safe passage for our motorists.</span>
<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;">If any further information is required concerning the OPP’s involvement, please contact, Sgt Rick Tonial.</span>

</div><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Use insect repellents that contain DEET or other approved ingredients when going outdoors. Read and follow the manufacturers' directions for safe use. </span></span><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Make sure that door and window screens fit securely and are free of holes. </span></span><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Limit the time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. </span></span><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours.</span></span><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"><span style="display: block; font-family: Arial;"></span></span></li>

<strong>News</strong><br />
Effective immediately a Smog Advisory has been issued by the Ministry of the Environment for the following forecast region:<br />
<ul><li><strong>Windsor-Essex-Chatham-Kent</strong></li>
</ul>Hot, hazy and humid conditions combined with light southerly winds blowing air pollution from the U.S. into Ontario is resulting in high smog levels across parts of southwestern Ontario.<br />
This advisory will remain in effect until further notice.<br />
<ul><li>A Smog Advisory is related to the Air Quality Index (AQI), which rates how clean the air is. The AQI scale ranges from 0 to 100+. Higher numbers mean higher health risks.</li>
<li>A Smog Advisory is issued in your region when the AQI is expected to reach 50 in the next 24 hours. It can be lifted once the AQI is expected to reach or drops below 50.</li>
<li>Smog is made up of a complex mixture of air pollutants that are sometimes visible, such as a brownish-yellow haze over cities; sometimes not. The two main ingredients of smog are <a href="http://webmail.en.bellnet.ca/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.airqualityontario.com%252Fscience%252Fpollutants%252Fozone.cfm" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ground-level ozone (O3)</a> and <a href="http://webmail.en.bellnet.ca/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.airqualityontario.com%252Fscience%252Fpollutants%252Fparticulates.cfm" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">fine particulate matter (PM2.5)</a>.</li>
<li>Smog is harmful to the lungs and heart. Even in healthy people, smog can reduce lung function.</li>

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"> According to Mayor Ron McDermott, the Grand Opening Celebration is being held with the goal of “providing an opportunity to invite the families of the community to experience the exciting new Colchester Centre Splashpad for the first time as well as to acknowledge those who played a key role in the project. We especially would like to thank the Government of Ontario who made a significant contribution to the project through an Investing in Ontario Grant. With recent improvements to the Harbour, the addition of a new play structure last year and this new Splashpad, Colchester Centre has truly become an exciting family destination right on the shores of Lake Erie.” </div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Windsor – The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society’s new Adoption Centre is
packed at the moment with wonderful animals awaiting their forever home. In the
hopes of getting these animals into their new homes as quickly as possible, the
Humane Society is holding a special adoption event from Wednesday through
Friday, June 22-25. For these 3 days only the adoption centre will be open from
10:00am to 10:00pm each day, and all adoption fees will discounted by 15
percent! In addition, all adopted dogs and cats will go home with a free bag of
Science Diet food, and all dogs and cats over 5 months of age will receive a
rabies vaccine as part of the adoption package. This is in addition to all the
great usual adoption benefits – spay/neuter surgery, microchip, standard
vaccines, deworming, flea treatment, tests for heartworm (dogs) or FeLV/FIV
(cats), 6 weeks of health insurance, and post-adoption training classes!
Spring 2011 has brought in a large number of kittens, as well as a
higher-than-usual number of puppies. It is hoped that the Humane Society’s new
veterinary clinic, scheduled for opening in fall 2011, will help to stem the
birth of unwanted animals in our community and reduce the number of these
animals coming through our doors. However in the meantime, anyone looking to
adopt a new friend is encouraged to consider the Humane Society, and help us
reach our goal of adopting 36 animals in 36 hours.
