Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

CHINOOK Its been an icon in the area for more than 100 years, and a new restoration project aims to ensure it stays that way for many more.

On June 1, a crew with Dr. Roof began work on the renovation of St. Marys McGowan Church, located between the Chinook tunnel and the Astoria-Megler Bridge, a few feet from the Columbia River. Dr. Roof owner Glenn Trusty said his crew expects to be working on the renovations for about six to eight weeks.

'We dont want you to be able to tell that anything was done, other than that it looks fresh and new, like it got a good bath.'

Glenn Trusty

Leader of church restoration crew

The renovations are the most substantial the church has undergone, according to Bill Garvin, parishioner and church builder P.J. McGowans great-grandson.

I dont think theres ever been a renovation this thorough, this extensive, said Garvin. Theres been piecemeal work done, I would say, every 10 or 15 years painting, just repairs as needed. But nothing as comprehensive as this.

The last time the church experienced a major renovation was almost 60 years ago, in 1962. With that in mind, Trusty was expecting his crew to encounter more problems with the building than they have, which has been a pleasant surprise.

The bones of the structure are pretty good, with all things in consideration to its age Things were built good back then, things were built a little differently, Trusty said.

Like many residents of the area, Charlie Peliza and his wife are Long Beach Peninsula transplants. They began visiting the area about 10 years ago, and eventually decided to move to the peninsula for good. Whenever they visited the area and drove by the church, he always thought there was a symbolicness to it.

It made you feel like you were coming home, when you finally came across the bridge, Peliza said.

Now, Peliza serves on the McGowan Restoration Committee and acts as the liaison between the contractor, Dr. Roof, and the church. Pelizas family background is construction, and was pleased to find out later on that the church was actually part of the St. Mary Parish.

Its been really fun, and its a great place to come worship in the summertime when its open. Its just nice to be part of it, Peliza said.

The town of McGowan was established in 1853, a year after P.J. McGowan took a Donation Land Claim and started a commercial salmon saltery that was located on pilings on the river. Prior to that, the area had also been home to a Chinook Indian village and a Roman Catholic mission established by Father Joseph Louis Lionnet.

The church was erected in 1904, about 99 years after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent 10 days in what was dubbed Station Camp in November 1805 before crossing the river to occupy Fort Clatsop for the winter. The land for the church and the cost for its construction was donated by P.J. McGowan, and today it marks the site of the community of McGowan. The church is wrapped within the Middle Village-Station Camp Unit of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, its future use enshrined in an agreement with the National Park Service.

Its such a great old church in terms of not only a visual icon on the river, but the family connection to how it was built and when it was built, said Garvin. Its so significant, because its got a great piece of the layers of history on the entire site.

Since 1904, the only notably different feature of the church from when it was built is the color of the building. It was originally painted white, but it weathered out very quickly and transformed into a blueish gray, which it has been kept as ever since.

The interior of the church has also remained true to its original form, with no heating or other utilities. Mass is held at the church during the summer, on Sundays from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and conditions are usually pleasant enough for parishioners inside the building.

No heating, no electricity, no water. Its a very primitive church, and we obviously had the opportunity to maybe do something about that, but we said, No, lets leave it the way it is, said Garvin. Thats kind of the charm of it, its really a step back in a different era.

Over the next two months, the crew with Dr. Roof will remove and replace the siding on the three main sides of the church and the tower, replace window trims, restore the original front entry doors, repair the deck and give the church a new paint job that is as precisely matched to the current blueish gray color as can be.

For Trusty and the Dr. Roof crew spearheading the renovations, the intent of their work is to stay on top of the churchs needed maintenance, while also preserving the churchs historical character.

We dont want you to be able to tell that anything was done, other than that it looks fresh and new, like it got a good bath, Trusty said.

Along with the support of the St. Mary Parish, Garvin said the outpouring of support from the community has made the project feel like a real team effort. Through public awareness campaigns both online and through word-of-mouth, the church received enough donations over the past several years to begin the restoration, including a donation of materials from Oman and Son Builders Supply to restore the churchs east wall.

The hope is that the current renovation will stave off any need for other large-scale restoration projects for many years.

Judging by the last 115 years, it has withstood the elements very well, and were confident this will allow it to do it again, Garvin said.

Trusty, also a member of the McGowan family after marrying his wife, Hillary, said ensuring the preservation of the church is something that the whole community can get behind.

[Were] hoping that people will continue to donate, to keep this iconic property in its state and condition it will soon be in [after the renovations are completed] for years to come, so everybody gets to enjoy it, said Trusty. This is probably one of the most exciting, just rewarding projects that weve ever worked on, frankly. Its a piece of history.

Tom Carnduff Journalist

The Bundesliga continues on Saturday and Tom Carnduff picks out three best bets at prices of 7/4, 29/10 and 9/2.

FC Koln v Union Berlin

Union Berlin captain Christopher Trimmel

A battle between two of the current struggling sides in the Bundesliga as Koln and Union Berlin both desperately seek to snap their winless runs.

The hosts have failed to secure victory in any of their previous six league fixtures while the same can be said for Union's last eight. Both were also held to draws last weekend.

For Koln, they thought they had finally ended the wait when Anthony Modeste struck from the bench in the 85th minute away at Augsburg, only for Philipp Max to equalise three minutes later.

In truth, it was a game that Augsburg deserved to win as they were clearly the better side in the first-half. That opening 45 minutes saw a total of 15 attempts, four of which were on target, while they failed to capitalise from seven corners.

Crucially, Florian Niederlechner was denied from the penalty spot just before the half hour mark. If the forward has scored there, it really had the feel of a game that could have ended up in a convincing win for the home side.

Erik Thommy scores against Koln

Prior to that fixture, we saw Union Berlin being held to a 1-1 draw with Schalke. Robert Andrich gave them a first-half lead before Jonjoe Kenny's eye-catching strike from outside the area drew David Wagner's out of form men level.

Like Augsburg, Union should have wrapped the game up during a promising early spell. Yunus Malli, Florian Hubner and Anthony Ujah all had good opportunities to score inside the first 30 minutes.

That result, again like the one involving Koln, didn't accurately reflect the course of the game. Union's 2.40 xG was met by Schalke's 0.17; their inability to convert the chances ultimately costing them two valuable points.

For Koln, they posted a 0.79 xG to Augsburg's 2.20. Markus Gisdol's men have failed to inspire following the break despite their fine form under his leadership and that puts them in a difficult position against a Union side who looked lively in their last outing.

Despite Union's poor recent away results, there is still appeal in their near 3/1 price for victory here. Those two defeats on the road have come against a Hertha side in form and Monchengladbach, who are aiming for a top-four finish.

Sebastian Andersson scores a header against Mainz

Union aren't quite safe from relegation yet and there is a lot more riding on this game for them than Koln. Given Dusseldorf's clash with Dortmund and Bremen's meeting with Paderborn, they know that this is an opportunity to move seven points clear with nine left to play for.

Last weekend suggested that Union are better equipped for this game than Koln and if they can sort their finishing out, they will hit the net a couple of times en route to victory.

Recent showings have failed to demonstrate that Koln justify their even money price; particularly against an opponent whose performances have picked up as time has progressed.

Three points will all-but-confirm Union's status as a Bundesliga team next season. The value is in siding with another away side on Saturday.

Score prediction: FC Koln 1-2 Union Berlin (Sky Bet odds: 11/1)

Best bet: Union Berlin to win at 29/10

Fortuna Dusseldorf v Borussia Dortmund

Jadon Sancho scores his first goal against Paderborn

Dortmund have responded well following their defeat to Bayern Munich; a result that ended their hopes of securing the Bundesliga title.

Since that narrow 1-0 defeat they've hammered struggling Paderborn 6-1 and beaten the in-form Hertha Berlin. This week takes them to Dusseldorf, who are looking to find a way out of the relegation places.

To their credit, Dusseldorf's results have been positive since the break. Apart from a 5-0 defeat to Bayern, which can always be viewed as a free hit, they've seen three draws and one win. It is worth highlighting how the fixture list has been somewhat kind to them up until this point.

Dortmund should continue their winning run against a team at the other end of the table. Victory could actually secure their top-four place if Monchengladbach or Leverkusen lose; although it should be said that Lucien Favre's men are expected to finish runners-up given the current four-point gap over Leipzig in third.

The Asian Handicap currently has the visitors at -1.5 and it's difficult to argue with that. The 81 goals scored by Dortmund more than demonstrate their attacking threat and Dusseldorf are likely to find that out first hand here.

The good news for Dortmund is that Mats Hummels returns to the line-up following his suspension. There were questions about how structured they would be at the back without his presence, but the clean sheet against Hertha demonstrates that they can cope in short spells.

Erling Haaland may not be risked and the forward trio of Julian Brandt, Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard have provided the goals in his absence. We should see a similar forward line against Dusseldorf.

Sancho and Hazard each floating around the even money mark provides little appeal. Instead, it's worth looking at Emre Can in the stats market with a shot on target priced up at 7/4.

He scored the only goal in that victory over Hertha, playing in a centre-back role to replace Hummels, but this week he should return to central midfield alongside Axel Witsel.

Can has posted five shots across his last two games with one on target in each. In fact, the victory over Wolfsburg was the only one of his nine Bundesliga games as a Dortmund player where he failed to register a shot.

Borussia Dortmund celebrate Emre Can's goal against Hertha Berlin

Against a Dusseldorf side who conceded 21 shots against Bayern, Dortmund should have opportunities to find the net and Can provides the best price to have an effort on target.

There's little appeal in taking Dortmund's outright price but they are certainly worth inclusion in any weekend accumulators. For an outright-based single bet in this contest, the -1 handicap in the away side's favour comes out at shades of odds-on.

But the stats market have provided good value in Dortmund matches since the break and that will hopefully continue on Saturday.

Dortmund should enjoy another victory here, and while the 9/2 best price on Can scoring anytime in this contest is intriguing, it's better to play it safer and back at least one shot on target.

Score prediction: Fortuna Dusseldorf 0-3 Borussia Dortmund (Sky Bet odds: 9/1)

Best bet: Emre Can to have 1+ shots on target at 7/4

Bayern Munich v Borussia Monchengladbach

Robert Lewandowski: Bayern Munich forward heads home against Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern remained in the hunt for the treble after they made the final of the DFB-Pokal with a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek.

They could actually secure the title this weekend if Dortmund are beaten by Dusseldorf in the afternoon kick-offs and then they beat Monchengladbach here. It's unlikely, but one to consider if we see a surprise earlier on.

Bayern have been hit with some suspension trouble though and that could give Monchengladbach hope. Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller are both out after picking up yellow cards in last weekend's victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

There is still quality throughout though and they have a number of options available to them for a short-term fix. Serge Gnabry can always play up front while Leon Goretzka could push forward into attacking midfield, allowing Thiago to pair up with Joshua Kimmich in the middle.

That highlights the strength of this Bayern team and how they could become the next great side from Bavaria. Based on what we've seen under Hansi Flick's leadership, they could also go on and win the Champions League.

The removal of Lewandowski and Muller have shortened the odds on everyone else grabbing a goal for Bayern this weekend. Goretzka is now floating around the 2/1 mark while Gnabry is odds-on in the majority of places.

Monchengladbach have suspension problems of their own with Alassane Plea out following his red card last weekend. The good news for them is that Breel Embolo is back in training and available for the trip to the Allianz Arena.

Simply sitting back and trying to keep Bayern out won't work; quality in every position makes that difficult. If Monchengladbach are to get something, they will have to look to take the game to Flick's side as Frankfurt did in the second-half of their cup meeting on Wednesday night.

They actually outshot Bayern 7-5 in the second-half there, while Leverkusen, Dortmund and Frankfurt (in their league meeting) all hit double figures in the shots statistic. Even Union Berlin, who offered virtually nothing going forward in their meeting with the champions, finished that game with nine total shots.

That will give Monchengladbach hope given that their shot average has increased since the break. Marco Rose's side sit on 14.8 shots per game over their last five games.

Borussia Monchengladbach celebrate Alassane Plea's goal against Eintracht Frankfurt, which came after 37 seconds

Granted that those games weren't against teams of Bayern's calibre but, knowing that victory is important given Leverkusen's meeting with Schalke on Sunday, we should expect to see Monchengladbach aim to hit that same margin with points needed.

Sky Bet have a big price of 9/2 on Monchengladbach having 14 or more shots in this game and I'm willing to back the visitors to hit that target. It's a bet that depends on the flow of the game but the value is too appealing.

Ultimately, even without the influential Lewandowski and Muller, Bayern should have enough to secure yet another victory as they continue their match to the title.

But it's a game where Monchengladbach can look towards a solid attack of their own. Games away at Bayern should always be viewed as a free hit; that may well play into the hands of the visitors when they push forward.

Score prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Borussia Monchengladbach (Sky Bet odds: 9/1)

Best bet: Borussia Monchengladbach to have 14+ total shots at 9/2

Bundesliga: Weekend preview with best bets and odds for matches on Saturday June 13 - Sportinglife.com

Q. Hi Honk: My family was driving along the I-5 Freeway near the Ortega Highway off-ramp in San Juan Capistrano and noticed some nets below what must be power lines. Hoping you can tell us what they are for. My sons guess was to catch birds that arent so lucky landing on live wires. Yikes!

Alison Cox, Aliso Viejo

A. Good tidings for your son, Alison and all of the other bird lovers.

San Diego Gas & Electric was replacing electrical wiring over the freeway there, spokeswoman Denice Menard said. The project is to reduce the chance of electrial outages and to improve the grid.

The netting is put into place to prevent wires from potentially falling onto the road while construction work is taking place, she told Honk in an email.

The netting was up for, roughly, the month of May before being tucked away.

The netting is no longer over the freeway, she said. It is tied back to the poles on the side of the freeway and will be deployed again in the fall when we are ready to finish stringing activities.

Netting is often used by SDG&E when putting up wires over freeways and roadways, Menard said.

Q. Honk, below are a few of the practice questions on the Department of Motor Vehicles website. The answers dont match the questions. Am I missing something?

Bruce Welch, Northridge

A. Just the right landing spot, Bruce.

You stumbled onto some business website meant to somewhat mimic the DMVs site. It is real easy to get onto the wrong website, because some sites make their addresses close to the real thing.

Honk didnt include those questions in your query here we dont want to confuse the masses, right?

For legit sample tests, go to dmv.ca.gov and in the search tool in the upper-right corner type in practice knowledge tests.

A couple of years ago, the DMV went from calling them written tests to knowledge tests, for whatever bureaucratic reason.

Anyway, you will then get five 10-question tests for a Class C license, the type needed to drive a car or a pickup. There are sample tests, too, for commercial drivers and motorcyclists.

You can see how you did. Kinda fun.

Honkin reminder: Because those in Honkland are the smartest (and best-looking) folk anywhere, if you have a pressing question it is likely that another Honkland resident has asked it and the wizard-like Honk has answered it.

Generally he has time to only answer questions that make it into the column. If he didnt tackle a question you sent in, or your curiosity is working overtime, try looking online at ocregister.com/tag/honk for past columns, or try Googling honk and ocregister and the key words.

To ask Honk questions, reach him at honk@ocregister.com. He only answers those that are published. To see Honk online: ocregister.com/tag/honk. Twitter: @OCRegisterHonk

For many animal rescuers and rehabilitators, the pandemic has brought a new set of challenges.

Miranda Altice

June 12, 2020

Find more of our Covid-19 coverage.

Despair and heartbreak are two words to describe how the volunteers felt when Olly Pitt, general manager for the Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR), told everyone to stay home. In March, as Australia reacted to the Covid-19 outbreak, Pitts staff, faithfully clad in blue ASR shirts and holding trays of raw, pungent squid destined for the 26 sea turtles in rehab, listened to the rest of her message.

Because of Covid-19, she announced, its crucial that we put measures in place not only to protect our organization but to protect the volunteers as well. For that reason, Pitt continued, ASR would be sending many volunteers home and postponing programs.

Over the last few months, the Covid-19 outbreak has unleashed a dystopia of physical distancing, lockdowns, and anxieties. Only those with an Im essential passcode are allowed to carry on in a strange new world. Wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers work in conjunction with wildlife veterinarians, making them an essential service. But the pandemic has brought a whole new set of challenges that many of these centers couldnt have predicted. Because centers have their own unique organizational structure, they have different ways of coping with these changes. For most, it boils down to volunteers and donations.

From March 23, we asked all of our volunteers that were elderly, living with someone elderly, have school children, or were showing signs of illness to no longer come to the center, says Pitt. Ive had to balance that and the pressure building up with running the center without our normal influx of vollies and funding.

The Australian Seabird Rescue usually operates with around 40 volunteers, but now theyve had to learn how to make do with the remaining few.

When we issued our Covid management plan, recalls Jen Slape, ASRs North Coast coordinator, we cut back to one volunteer a day to help feed the animals and clean the tanks. This is just the bare minimum so we can adhere to the social distancing measures while taking care of the essentials.

At the moment, only two people out of ASRs six rescuers are working, alternating days to rescue marine animals. Our two rescuers are coping, says Pitt. Fewer people on the beaches also means fewer people reporting rescues, but they will need a well-deserved break after all of this!

Larger organizations have a little more breathing space, but they still rely heavily on volunteers. The Marine Mammal Center, with locations in Hawaii and California, is the worlds largest marine mammal hospital and the only partner organization authorized by NOAA to treat Hawaiian monk seals, one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world.

With a trained force of more than 1,400 volunteers, the centers volunteers are truly the backbone of our non-profit organization, Giancarlo Rulli, a spokesperson for the center, said in an email.

According to Rulli, volunteers at the centers operations in California and Hawaii contributed more than 150,000 service hours in 2019 alone. Thats approximately $4 million in workforce value, she said, a staggering figure.

Dr. Cara Field, the centers medical director and staff veterinarian, explains that the hospital continues to provide expert care for their marine mammal patients, while also prioritizing the health of our staff and volunteers in both California and Hawaii-based operations. This includes reducing the number of volunteers and staff on every shift, following CDC distancing guidelines, and eliminating non-essential projects. All staff who can do so are working from home, Field says.

Ryan Berger, the centers Northern Range operations manager, says that their volunteers go through a rigorous training process that allows for greater flexibility, since these volunteers are able to work alone or with limited assistance while maintaining social distancing. This adaptability, he says, has proven its worth during the pandemic.

The Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service, or WIRES, in Australia can manage the Covid-19 restrictions a little differently because they handle animals that dont need specialized aquatic enclosures and filtration systems, like sea turtles and seals.

WIRES is unique in that our volunteers rehabilitate wildlife from their homes, not from hospitals and centers, says John Grant, their media officer.

Representing Australias largest rescue organization with 3,000 volunteers and 28 branches in New South Wales, rescuers at WIRES receive more than 50 calls per day, depending on the branch location.

After the bushfires earlier this year, an influx of donations has allowed WIRES to meet this demand by providing their rescuers with medical supplies, specialized food, medical support, veterinary bills, and improved enclosures. This funding couldnt have come at a better time, as Covid-19 has closed down tours, school holiday programs, training sessions, and fundraising events that typically bring in significant funds.

Other organizations havent been as fortunate.[Our programs] are all postponed,ASRs Pitt says. As a non-profit, this heavily impacts our finances, but what scares me the most is not being able to educate the public on our marine life.

On a positive note, she continues, weve put our creative brains to work and come up with virtual ways of educating the public. For example, ASR has flooded its social media outlets with educational videos and live talks about sea life. I imagine that after the pandemic, we will still offer something similar, Pitt says.

The Marine Mammal Center is navigating through similar digitally creative waters. With no public visitation at both hospitals due to Covid-19, Rulli says, our Learning and Community Team are building learning resources to help families and teachers amidst school shutdowns.

But as Covid-19 has forced wildlife rescuers and rehabilitators to adapt to these changes, many of them have chosen to look at the bright side.

Ive found myself able to remember whats important, says Pitt. Before Covid, I was caught up in office work and not making time to dedicate myself to the animals in the center. Now, Im reminded of the importance of 100 percent animal engagement, while still finding time for my office work, because sometimes, it can just wait.

Plus, even with beaches and parks reopening, the limited visitor numbers could still be considered a relief to both wildlife and rescuers and rehabilitators. Pitt notes that they are seeing less direct anthropogenic activities such as fishing tackle injuries or trash that could be ingested by an animal, and the Marine Mammal Center has noticed a positive side effect of fewer people on the beaches.

Seal pups are at their most vulnerable stage and can easily become stressed or abandoned by mothers if a human or dog gets too close, Berger explains, and because many beachgoers cant resist taking what Berger calls a seal-fie, responders often need to step in to rescue the dependent pups. This year, however, has given seal pups their space.

In the meantime, wildlife rescuers remain hopeful. The world will turn, the money will come, and volunteers dont lose their passion overnight, says Pitt. They will come back, and our animals will recover.

Electrical Wiring Tools Market 2020: Potential Growth, Challenges, and Know the Companies List Could Potentially Benefit or Loose out From the Impact...

Isle of Wight electrical business, ETL Electrical Solutions Ltd, are one of many local firms returning to work but it is not business as usual after lockdown

This Island-based business of more than 15 years, with a further 20 years of experience on the mainland, are putting in extra guidelines and training for their staff before returning to their full service of commercial and domestic electrical installations.

ETL Electrical Solutions have been actively working to keep the Islands lights on, even throughout lockdown, as they provided emergency cover for frontline staff across the Isle of Wight.

In the run-up to returning to full service, the ETL Electrical team have been undergoing extra training, from online to in-person, socially distanced learning to prepare for working inside of peoples homes in the aftermath of COVID-19.

The team are used to working on sites, big or small, from fitting a light fixture in someones home, to fully wiring a marina However, working in personal protective equipment (PPE) such as full facial masks and even paper suits for the most vulnerable clients can be a tricky task. The training and guidelines being set out by Graeme and his team, outline the full process from picking up the booking to closing the job when completed safely!

ETL Electrical have already completed specific COVID-19 safe working training through an online learning platform so that they understand what is required. The team have also been working with local training business, Jigsaw Training and Development Service, learning about mental health in the workplace.

Graeme Preston, owner of ETL Electrical, says:

Keeping our staff and our customers safe as we move out of lockdown is our number one priority.

Mental health is something that we all have, we all deal with it in different ways and going back to work or coming into a socially distanced contact with people within their homes after weeks of being in lockdown can be challenging. Thats why we wanted to raise the topic before sending our team back to work.

Along with the training and the PPE that each team member is being provided with, steps such as arriving at jobs in separate vans, ensuring a safe working area, wiping down of surfaces after the work has been completed and rebooking of any jobs to a later date have been undertaken.

TOMORROW, A RANGE of free arts events and workshops for children and teenagers is kicking off to propel students into arts, crafts and music by asking them to give creativity a go.

Cruinnina ng which is usually a Dublin-focused initiative is hosting its events online this year, meaning that children from across Ireland can join in.

To add to that, organisers have decided to leave all but one of its 27 events, tutorials, videos and guides online for the entire summer a resource much-needed by parents.

Margarita Cappock, an Assistant Arts Officer at Dublin City Council, told TheJournal.ie that artists usually submit ideas for what activities they can do for children and teens this year they had to tweak these pitches in order to move them all online.

The amount of goodwill and can-do from all the artists and organisations has been absolutely brilliant, she said. Some of them have turned out just really so well.

It means children from outside Dublin may join in, and its a system they might keep on after the pandemic.

When asked what the aim of the festival is, Cappock says: We just want to really encourage people to make, and to create whether its writing or performing, or just enjoying the virtual visits to various places, or the workshops.

I think that it really is just to provide a wide range of events and activities for everybody, so there will be something for every child.

I think the great thing about it, in particular Tunes from Me Gaff, is to give teenagers the opportunity to actually perform and have their work streamed like that. Its very confidence inspiring, I think its a great opportunity also to make connections with like-minded teenagers.

WINDSOR, ONT. -- Windsor-Essex residents and city crews were dealing with the aftermath of severe storms that moved through the region Wednesday evening, causing downed trees, power lines and damage to some homes.

Here's a photo gallery of the storm and aftermath.

Windsor Fire and Rescue says it attended to over 30 calls, many of them in south Windsor, with many trees and branches down, pulling down power wires with them.

There were no documented injuries as a result of the storm, civilian or firefighter, says John Lee, chief fire prevention officer. There was one accident on Huron Church as a result of the storm.

Windsor fire activated their storm protocol.

Because theres so many calls in different areas at the same time we reduce our man power to each call so we will only send one vehicle and well upgrade if necessary, says Lee.

The line of severe storms came following several days of humidity and heat.East of Windsor the storms produced two tornados in the London region.

One near the community of Glencoe, southwest of London, and the other near Belmont to the southwest. A third possible tornado was being investigated near Bothwell.

Meanwhile thousands were without power Thursday morning across southwestern and southern Ontario.

Enwin Utilities says locally the storm resulted in 27 calls about tree limbs on wires, 22 calls for wires down, and three poles damaged.

The majority of the damage was in the west and south ends of the city, but there was some further activity in Walkerville.

Most power was restored by 7:30 a.m., but crews remained on site during the day, to finish the longer-term restorations.

As far as city cleanup, forestry says by the end of the Thursday or late Friday morning, all critical cleanup will be completed, such as trees off porches, driveways, road and walkways.

City officials say it could take a solid week or more to attend to the rest of the less critical issues. There were 70 calls for down tree branches, but no calls for flooded basements.

Many residents were also cleaning up on Thursday.

We have neighbours helping everybody get the branches off the street, says Mary Arbor, a downtown Windsor resident.

When Arbor saw the storm coming, she told her sister they have to go to the basement.

I looked out the window, the wind was coming straight down with branches, adds Arbor.

Jeff, another downtown Windsor resident, says a big tree hit a house.

This used to be a big beautiful tall tree he says. It just lifted right up and hit the corner of her house and fell.
