“KEN WILLIAMSON BUILT AYLMER STRAND”
-
AYLMER – Ken Williamson, who died this week, not only began the former Aylmer Dairy in 1938 (on John St. North, later relocated to Talbot St. East – Goodwills) but in 1947 established the town’s last movie house, the Strand Theatre. Aylmer had the Capitol Theatre on the north side of Talbot St. east previously but it closed in 1947, being deemed too small for the times by its owners. Williamson and partner Robert McEwan then erected a larger building – the Strand – at the corner of Sydenham and John to keep motion pictures active in town.

“CHRIST- ‘MUST’ LIST #4 – DONATIONS”
-
AYLMER – Extra used skates? Minor Hockey doesn’t operated a skate exchange any longer and the Optimist Toy Drive isn’t a good fit for them. But the AMCS will take them. And much more.
The AMCS (Aylmer Mennonite Community Store) on Talbot St. east, operated by Mennonite Community Services, is a busy spot in Aylmer for used clothing/articles. Linda Miller is the Manager – she provided this information:
“There are two part time assistant managers. We have between 80-100 volunteers depending on the season. We do get a lot of donations this time of year because of Christmas, people are cleaning out things. But I would think that yard sale season at the beginning of summer is busier, May to June.
Clothing is the biggest seller but it is almost even with our household items which makes up most of our other sales. Shoes and books are next after clothes and household items. The economy has affected the sales in the store. We have increased sales as the need increased. We have always had people who choose thrift even if they were able to buy full price but we have some that now need to shop thrift.
We do have items that we cannot sell and it is nice if the people dropping off donations ask us first and also bring it in and not leave it outside at night where other people steal it or it gets wrecked by the weather. We have a no televisions and computer screens policy and no encyclopedias. It is considerate if people ask us first. “
(The store’s holidays hours are: Christmas Eve closed at 12:30/ Dec. 25, 26, 27 closed/Dec. 28-31 open / Closed Dec. 31 at12:30. Open Jan. 4 for regular business.)

“AYLMER STORE OWNER JAILED FOR TAXES”
-
(Press Release from Province of Ontario) – On October 20, 2010, Morris Kikkert, of Aylmer, Ontario was convicted on eight charges under the Retail Sales Tax Act in the Ontario Court of Justice in St. Thomas. Kikkert, the sole proprietor for Tillsonburg Furniture and an officer and director of two numbered companies which operated as Aylmer Furniture and KK Auctions, was convicted of:
- three charges of wilful evasion under the RSTA by failing to report and remit collected RST in the total amount of $144,809,
- three charges of failure to collect RST in the total amount of $32,922, and
- two charges of failing to keep records of all purchases and sales.
Kikkert was sentenced to 90 days in jail for the three convictions of wilful evasion, followed by 12 months’ probation, a term of which is to make payments toward fines outstanding from an earlier RST conviction. He received a suspended sentence for the remaining convictions.
The two corporations involved were also convicted of charges of wilful evasion, failure to collect RST and failure to keep records of all purchases and sales, and received suspended sentences for each charge.

“CHRISTMAS CARE BOXES GO OUT TODAY”
-
About 60 volunteers turned out to put Christmas Care boxes together at Immanuel Christian school this morning. (Photo by Don Durkee) (CLICK)
-
AYLMER – (Christmas Care boxes are being packed this morning for delivery after lunch – they expect the same number, about 350, as last year. Information on the program, provided by Carolyn Buis Aylmer Christmas Care Co-ordinator, is reprinted from last year’s edition.)
“In 1990 we moved to Immanuel Christian School and packed 209 boxes. This year we packed 353 food hampers. They were packed in just under one hour. The setting up of the assembly line of grocerries, bagging of the apples, oranges, cookies, sweet potatoes and packing of baby food takes all the prep time before. The arrival of the fresh produces, turkeys and hams and the donated goods that have been collected by schools, business and parades etc. all needs to be co-ordinated to their designated spots.
We had approximately 75 volunteers ranging in age from 7 yrs to 80 years. The wrapping of the boxes occurs on the evening before we pack. It is very impressive in the morning to see the rows of wrapped boxes.The deliveries start as soon as the packing is completed. For Straffordville, Vienna and Port Burwell the boxes and the toys from the Optimists are picked up by members of the Lions Clubs and the Legion and then are distributed or picked up at the respective places. The length of time of delivery depends on the number of communty members who show to do this part of the project.
The basic grocery list varies little from year to year. Joanne Mantel and I order the groceries in early December. We follow Canada’s Food Guide to provide and encourage balanced and healthy eating ie. Cereal, butter, cheese, canned milk, canned fruit and veggies, fresh lettuce, carrots, apples, oranges, canned meat, fresh turkey or ham depending on family size. Special treats of a package of cookies, candies and hot chocolate, jello and dessert topping are added.
The donated/collected goods are added to the boxes also. These will vary in quantity and variety from year to year, but usually consist of dry and canned pasta and sauces (lots of kraft dinner and mr. noodle), dry and canned soups, tuna, canned fruit and veggies and stove top stuffing and cranberry sauces etc.
John and Joanne Mantel have been with this project from its beginning approximately 40 years ago. My husband Ron and I have been with this project approx. 25 years. We have many individuals and families who return each year to lend a helping hand. That is very likely why everything moves so smoothly and quickly. We stand amazed every year at the number of volunteers.”
