Sometimes, the best place to spend a hot summer day in a busy Chatham-Kent is beside a pool. For us, that was the key this past weekend. We went over to friends Pete and Arlene’s Saturday afternoon to hang out and visit with friends of theirs who were down...

At The Chatham Voice, we love to celebrate the giving nature of the people of Chatham-Kent. But it happens with such regularity that we set thresholds on dollar amounts required before photos make it into the paper. That level is typically $5,000. But even...

Was that a great weekend or what, Chatham-Kent? Sorry, that was a rhetorical question. Wow. Thank you, RM Sotheby’s, the Historic Downtown BIA, the organizers of the Threshing Festival, and everything else that took place. Yes, downtown Chatham was in the...

Thank you, Mother Nature, for such a lousy Easter weekend outdoors. At least you spared Sunday and couldn’t foul up some indoor fun. It was a busy weekend around the Corcoran household, although it would have been busier had we had a little more sunshine....

We ate some of the best burgers ever on Sunday, and I had nothing to do with them, except for the dishes afterwards. Yes, I bet they’d have been even better on the Big Green Egg, but Mary Beth offered to do them on a cast iron griddle inside. Who was I to...

When you take the effort to be the designated driver, you should be rewarded, right? I’m not talking fanfare or anything like that. How about just feeling better the next morning than you might have had you consumed alcohol? On Saturday, we went over to the...

This is the period I like to call the Winter of Sports Discontent. It’s the time between football and baseball. I realize I sound downright un-Canadian when I say this in the heart of hockey season, but I actually rarely watch hockey these days. And I...
