Windsor Fire goes the extra mile

I want to spot Jill that works at the Windsor Fire & Rescue service. She went above and beyond by writing me a letter thanking me for sharing the letter that was posted on Spotted on May 21, 2016 as follows about how Windsor Firefighters played with kids on the street. I passed the message along to the Administrative Assistant so that these Firefighters can be given medals for their hard work and dedication.

Please be kind to the Firefighters when they are out at the grocery stores, handing out educational pamplets and also when they are allowing your children as well as the community to look at the Fire Trucks. Its still a shame a few people complain that Firefighters should not be involved in the community. To those people, shame on you for writing complaints about that.

Jill, you have been Spotted for giving me the appreciation to share this letter with you and for saying how important it is for Firefighters to be part of the community. To Chief Bruce Montone, thank you for hiring this wonderful lady.

From the guy that volunteers for the Crime Prevention Council.

BE CAREFUL - AND KIND

Yesterday while heading home on Dominion attempting to get over into the turning lane for the ECROW I was witness to something quite disturbing. There was a younger gentleman, about 30 years old, attempting to enter the expressway going WEST....using the EASTBOUND ramp. I stopped as did another vehicle, and honked at him waving to try and get him to look at the sign. He was waiting for oncoming traffic, which quite possibly saved him from a fatal mistake. He was angry at us for honking at him, so he flipped us off. The gentleman in the other vehicle got out, walked in front of my vehicle, and advised him that the west bound lanes were up further.

He proceeded into the proper lane, ahead of us - without even a backwards glance. He was probably embarrassed for behaving so poorly.

Please people, when someone is honking at you on the road, please before following your first instinct and giving them a rude gesture, maybe take a look around yourself and see if there is a reason someone is trying to get your attention.

WE can Win

The mastermind behind "WE put the WIN in Windsor" deserves to be spotted. She (and that's all I know about the page administrator) has managed to maintain a Facebook page about the positive things going on in this city. The page is not political and not religious. It is current, engaging and about this area. I can only imagine the amount of time she has spent bookmarking sources of happiness in WE. This page is making a legitimate attempt to engage our citizens.

She's doing a fantastic job. Check out her page if you want to feel good about where we live.

MADE MY DAY!!!!

Saturday May 21,2016 i got to witness something I have only read in books. This day not only made my day but my 3 beautiful girls day. I came home to grab something Ihad forgot, and saw a fire truck pull down my dead end street(1600 curry block) and I immediately was hoping everything and everyone on my street was going to be ok. That's when these 4 amazing fire fighters parked their truck got out and played basketball with the kids on our street. They then allowed them and my girls to sit in the truck. They were only coming to do an inspection on a privately owned home when they saw the kids and thought, im going to get out and play with them. YOUR SMALL BUT SPECIAL GESTURE HAS BEEN ON MY MIND ALL WEEK AND CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK YOU DO FOR OUR CITY! Thank you for making my day and my girls day.

sincerly one proud and so thankful for you men and woman who fight for us

bad spotting turned good

About a month ago, we ordered pizza from Cheese Wheelz on Lauzon. It was almost entirely burned. I took a pic & sent it to the manager, who said in part "you ate most of it, so it couldn't have been that bad). Toppings were burnt too. I decided that was it for me from cheese wheelz. About a week ago a new manager for cheese wheelz contacted me and was very apologetic & suggested I try again - Her name is Chrissy, and she works at the Tecumseh location, as well as Dougall. This pizza was MUCH better, and she even gave us garlic bread. Thank-you Chrissy, for customer service (and Pizza) done right
