A new smoke-free policy at Wind-Del Park aims to give residents the ability to play, love and be tobacco-free. The Optimist Club of Windham and District created the policy that forbids players, spectators, coaches, officials and organizers to use any tobacco product, including smokeless tobacco. President Lisa Gilbert says it sets a good example and will help kids be the best they can be. The Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit helped the club in their efforts by giving them a grant to help buy and install signs that remind park goers of the new policy.

A second suspect in the Tim Bosma case is in Hamilton court this morning to face first degree murder charges. Police say they arrested 25-year-old Mark Smich of Oakville yesterday morning, about an hour before Bosma's memorial service was set to begin.
