Bowling Stones set to rock the lanes Nov. 2

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

Jeff Burrows and the team behind the Bowling Stones fundraiser can’t wait for Nov. 2.

The Tea Party drummer and brainchild of the event said teams have been signing up at a torrid pace for the fundraiser, as 21 are already committed.

But there’s room for more for a night of fun, funds and bowling.

For the first three years, proceeds from the event have benefitted the St. Clair College Scholarship Fund and Chatham’s Outreach for Hunger. This year, Community Living Chatham-Kent will also benefit.

Burrows said the strong support to this point is a

sign of the work of organizers, including Brenda Leclair of Outreach for Hunger, Bruce Cockburn of Bowlerama where the event takes place, and local citizen Paul Haslip.

“This year, we’ve done so much prep work. We’re already at about three times the number of teams who took part last year,” he said.

Burrows said the addition of Community Living has helped reinvigorate the event.

He added the night of bowling offers something different to fundraising, and he encourages non-bowlers to show up to enjoy the evening as well.

“Lots of small businesses support us and come out.

Members of the communi-

ty come out. It’s just something different,” he said.

“Even if you aren’t a bowler, you can come out. If the lights are dim and the music’s playing, it’s Rock ’n’ Bowl. Come on out, participate in the draws and have a great time.”

Support from the community is strong for the event, Burrows said.

“We do go to a lot of local establishments and ask for support, asking if they can put a team in or donate.

We receive tons of raffle items,” he said.

Sponsorship from LiUNA!625 helps make the event possible, he added.

Doors open Nov. 2 at 8:30 p.m.

For more information, including how to register a team, visit www.outreachforhunger.com.

From left, Community Living Chatham-Kent’s Tammy Chouinard, Paul Haslip, Bowlerama’s Bruce Cockburn, St. Clair College’s Jeff Burrows, and Outreach for Hunger’s Brenda LeClair are the organizers behind the Bowling Stones fundraiser Nov. 2. All proceeds from the bowling and auction event go towards St. Clair College Scholarship Fund and Chatham’s Outreach for Hunger and Community Living Chatham-Kent.

“This donation will help pay for the turkeys we’ll need. We have grown to serving over 600 people in our community with a hot Christmas dinner, at no charge,” Brent said in a media release.

According to Tammy Chouinard, the Manager of Community Relations, Community Living Chatham-Kent, this cause is something the agency feels is important to the community, as it is more than just a free meal.

“A few soup kitchens volunteer to help out with this dinner. Then, at the end of the night, they take anything that is left over to share at their shelters. Many who come for the free meal also lend a helping hand too.

Brent and Tammy have put their hearts into this event and have done an incredible job with growing it into a place where everyone feels welcome,” said Chouinard.

The Community Cares

Christmas Dinner will take place on Sunday, December 1st at the W.I.S.H. Centre.

CLCK also selected Olivia Formosa to receive a donation of $1,000 from the proceeds of the Food Crawl. The money will go towards Olivia’s medical costs.

At age two, a large mass was found around her cerebellum, around her brain stem and down her spinal cord. The tumour was found to be cancer-

Helping out for Christmas dinner The Chatham Voice

Community Living Chatham-Kent is helping put on a big Christmas dinner this year, by donating to the annual Community Cares Christmas Dinner.

CLCK donated $500 from the proceeds of the 2019 Food Crawl to the dinner.

For thirteen years, this free dinner has been an annual tradition for local business owners Brent and Tammy Ripley.

Real Estate FAQ’s Q: I’m buying a new home and my real estate lawyer is recommending that I get title insurance. I’ll have home insurance, so is it really necessary?

A: If you’re buying a property, here’s some general information to help you understand what title insurance is.

It’s your real estate lawyer who would typically provide guidance on title insurance, not your broker or salesperson.

A common misconception is that title insurance is the same as home insurance or even a home warranty.

“Title” refers to the ownership of a

property as reflected in the government’s land registration system. Title insurance provides coverage against risks and losses that relate to your home’s legal title or, more specifically, your ownership. This doesn’t include issues like fire damage, theft or general wear and tear of a home, which would typically be covered by standard home insurance contracts.

Title insurance isn’t required in Ontario, but it’s something you may wish to consider. It offers coverage for a range of different risks, such as: • Title fraud, which occurs when someone uses stolen or forged documents to

ous.

Olivia was taken into surgery immediately and has since been through many more procedures.

While getting back on her feet, it was discovered that Olivia’s tumour had returned. She had another surgery and woke up paralyzed on her left side.

Olivia, now four, is finally back at home where she has physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy regularly.

Her mom, Brooke, had to

find an accessible home and is now living at an apartment back in Wallaceburg.

“We heard about the struggles this family is still going through, and our hearts go out to Olivia and her family. We hope these funds will help to ease some of the stress they might be feeling, and hopefully allow them to focus more of their attention on supporting her recovery,” Chouinard said.

Call your LOCAL REALTOR® today! Sponsored by steal your identity, then transfers your home’s title into their name, without you knowing about it.

• Existing liens against title, such as property taxes left unpaid by the previous homeowner.

• Encroachment issues, where a structure has been erroneously built too close to or on a neighbouring property.

• Other title-related issues that can affect your ability to sell, mortgage or lease your home.

For a one-time fee, or premium, title insurance provides coverage for as long as you own a property. It’s in your best interest to fully understand what the

various insurance companies cover, so go over the details with your real estate lawyer, title insurance company or insurance broker before signing off on a policy.

As mentioned, title insurance is not the same as home insurance or a home warranty and typically does not cover: • Title defects you were aware of before you purchased your property.

• Environmental hazards, such as soil contamination.

• Indigenous land claims.

• Issues that would only be found by an inspection or new survey of your property.

• Issues not listed in public records, such as unrecorded liens or encroachments against the property.

• Zoning bylaw violations from changes, renovations or additions that you undertook following your purchase of the property.

Your policy should include a comprehensive list of terms and conditions, exclusions and restrictions.

More information can be found in a helpful guide from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, the regulatory body that oversees the insurance sector.
