ON THE COVER —“Happy Kitchen, Happy Home” – We jump start our “Home Sweet Home” Special Section with a cover story on the popularity of home renovations and/or repairs, to accommodate changing lifestyles. A year of staying home due to the pandemic and enjoying staycations, has created opportunities for many people to renovate their homes, update kitchens and bathrooms, add recreational spaces, install pools and hot tubs, and perhaps even create new office space to make working from home more convenient.
MAIN COVER PHOTO LOCATION: Amherstburg homeowner Lee Chute and her dog Rico Suave couldn’t be happier with the job completed by Alpine Construction (Windsor) Inc. Everything from the stained glass window to cabinets, counter tops and appliances, were replaced in this redesign after a devastating kitchen fire. Alpine Estimator, Frank Luiso (background) is pictured going over the final check list in “Restoring Peace of Mind” for their client in accordance with their motto.

32 The Parenting Biz: Come Rain Or Shine, There’s Always Plenty To Do. As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” but spring also brings a whole new set of activities guaranteed to put a smile on your child’s face. “Spring Break” is upon us with students looking for something to do. We suggest a few fun ideas that are also suitable for the next few months to keep the kids entertained.
37 Craving “Carnival Eats”? Since we missed out on outdoor fairs and festivals last year, due to the pandemic — and the future of most events is still uncertain for the summer of 2021 — we wanted to bring a little bit of the fair to our readers. While the amusement rides are always fun, as is trying to win a stuffed animal in a game, for most of us the best part of a carnival is the food. We feature local businesses selling cotton candy, popcorn, candy apples and more, for when you and your family need a fair food fix (Photo by Jack Rosenberg taken during a past downtown Windsor event).
