The Red Kettle Campaign is the Salvation Army’s largest fundraiser to help finance the many services and programs offered to individuals and families in need throughout the year in Chatham-Kent. The Salvation Army’s goal is $500,000 for the year. At last check, the organization was sitting at around the $200,000 mark.

Please make a donation (some kettles are equipped to take debit and credit cards) and volunteer your time to watch a kettle over the holidays. To help out call the Chatham-Kent Salvation Army at 519-437-1784 or 519-437-1769 or check out the Facebook page for info.

MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani has agreed to a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It’s the largest contract in North American pro-sports history.

The Blue Jays were in the running with reports on Friday of a private jet making its way to Toronto with Ohtani coming to sign a contract. Turned out, the private jet was carrying Dragon Den’s Robert Herjavec. It ended up being the most tracked flight in the world Friday.

Saturday Ohtani signed with the Dodgers. The 29-year-old star from Japan can do it all. Ohtani is the type of player rarely seen in Major League Baseball, given he’s both a star hitter and a great pitcher. The contract will break down to:

  • Per year: $70,000,000
  • Per month: $5,833,333.33
  • Per week: $1,346,153.84
  • Per day: $191,780.82
  • Per hour: $7,990.87
  • Per minute: $133.18
  • Per second: $2.22
