Marianne Grayce, a technical services assistant in the Paul Martin Law Library, knows her Windsor history—and is about to learn a little more. She won Monday’s DailyNews trivia quiz and the fabulous prize of a copy of 500 Ways You Know You’re from Windsor, a hardbound, full-colour collection of more than 650 photographs documenting some local landmarks.

Grayce’s name was drawn from all respondents who correctly identified Epps as a sporting goods store, Hi Ho as famous for its curbside service, and Columbia and St. Claire as the Bob-lo Island steamers.

A team of fourth-year mechanical engineering students hoping to fund their capstone project are taking their show on the road Thursday, June 21, visiting campus offices door-to-door to solicit donations to their bake sale.

“We are going to spread out and hit every building,” says Abou Rkie. “We will offer our supporters a cookie for any donation they can make.”

The team’s project involves the addition of a solar panel to an electric wheelchair.

“The panel will provide extra power to the battery,” Rkie says.

The University Bookstore is offering its customers an extra bite of Apple. Students, faculty and staff who buy certain Apple products qualify for giftcards to spend on apps.

This offer is valid until September 21 and applies only to purchases by individuals, not by University departments.

A group of artists from the collective Broken City Lab were busily creating a new installation in a courtyard in Windsor’s downtown core Tuesday afternoon. Known as a ‘text intervention,’ it consisted of a series of 12-inch high styrofoam letters, placed vertically on the ground to spell out the phrase “Hello New Friends.”

It caught the attention of a passenger in a car cruising past on Ouellette Avenue, who stuck her head out the window and waved.
