Bothwell draw goes nuclear

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

Pam Wright/The Chatham Voice

Micheal Boock and his sister Emma put their decorating skills into action recently in Tupperville to get ready for Halloween.

Here the youngster demonstrates how to plant a pumpkin light.

Who needs Lotto 649 or LottoMax when you’ve got the Bothwell-Thamesville Firefighters Association 50-50 draw?

Peter and Lynn Humphries don’t. The Bothwell residents took home $280,505 in Saturday’s record-breaking online draw.

“It’s a happy ending,” said Brian Carroll, chief of Chatham-Kent Fire Service Station 9 in Bothwell. “We sold tickets everywhere in Ontario,” he

said.

“The winner could have been anywhere from Windsor to Wawa.”

The couple, who lives only two blocks from the fire hall, originally thought it was a hoax when they got the call.

Carroll said he spoke with Peter first, who informed him his wife had bought the ticket. When he got Lynn on the phone, he said she expressed disbelief at first, but then started screaming.

The Humphries plan on paying off debt and becoming mortgage free.

Vaccinations continue

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

One shot at a time, Chatham-Kent Public Health continues to move the needle forward on the municipality’s vaccine uptake.

According to Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Colby, continued education alongside an array of pop-up clinics, are combining for about a one-per-cent increase each week.

The number of active COVID-19 cases has been steadily decreasing in recent weeks and as of Monday, sat at 70 people.

“We seem to be past the peak getting the wave under control,” Colby told a recent media call, adding

Autumn colours

the vaccine push will continue.

“It’s improving tremendously,” Colby explained, adding it’s no secret that Chatham-Kent has been a COVID-19 “hotspot,” with some of the lowest vaccination rates in Ontario.

Combatting misinformation about the virus and the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine is an ongoing challenge for CKPH, being made all the more challenging by the anti-vaccine, anti-mask messaging coming from Chatham-Kent–Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls.

Nicholls, who was removed from the Progressive Conservation caucus by Premier Doug Ford for refusing the vaccine, continues to spread his anti-COVID-19 vaccine message on Twitter.

Pam Wright/The Chatham Voice

My Fellow Comrades and Residents of Chatham-Kent: Most Canadians associate the Legion with Remembrance Ceremonies and activities honouring the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice or who came home broken.

Traditionally we mark Remembrance Day with two minutes of silence on the day in which we come together to recognize the sacrifices that our Veterans have given so that we may enjoy the freedoms and liberties we have today. We as Canadians must recognize those Veterans and their families who may now continue to need our support and assistance.

It is again disheartening that 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the “Poppy” and because of the Covid Virus Pandemic we will not be able to properly recognize and pay tribute to our Veterans. There will not be any parade, street poppy distribution or community gathering at the cenotaph this year.

Poppy donation boxes will be distributed throughout the city to stores and businesses as in the past. Pinning of the “First Poppy” will be on Friday, October 2th and Poppies will be available thereafter. Please think of our Veterans as you consider your donation to the Poppy Trust Fund and all the assistance that the donations provide. Help us make this year truly about Remembrance.

This year in lieu of purchasing a wreath, possibly consider making a donation to the Chatham Poppy Trust. As this is a registered charity, receipts for donations of $20.00 or over will be issued for income tax purposes, while still recognizing that no donation is ever too small or too large.

To make a donation by mail, please make your cheque or money order payable to the “Chatham Poppy Trust Fund”. Please DO NOT SEND CASH THROUGH THE MAIL. If you do wish to purchase a wreath, I will be available at the Legion Br. 642 call (519-351-8733) beginning October 12 to November 10 - Tuesday though Saturday from 11:00am to 5:00pm.

Sandy will again, be available this year for your questions at 519-351-0905.

3,100 lbs. of goods, $5K raised

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

Jane and Joe Rivers, you just might be onto something.

The residents of Thames Towers apartments in Chatham are the brains behind a friendly challenge that saw residents in the two apartment buildings donate 3,150 pounds of non-perishable items and nearly $5,500 in cash to help stock the shelves at the Salvation Army and Outreach for

Hunger.

Sharon and Mauro Pippo manage the east building, while Ruth VanHumbeck handles the west building for the Thames Towers.

They said the Saturday competition was friendly and embraced by residents.

Volunteers went floorto-floor with carts, filling up and heading down to the activity room in each building where donations were sorted. It was a busy morning Jane Rivers, shifting

back and forth between buildings as the goods kept arriving at the dropoff points, said the idea was well received.

“We’ve had great response,” Rivers said.

“When we moved here, we really wanted to get something happening. We suggested the food drive.

It gets people out and gets them socializing.”

While there were unof-

ficial judges from each building making sure there were no shenanigans taking place during weigh ins, Rivers said it was all in good fun.

“The winners are going

to be the food banks,” she said.

The contest was declared a tie between buildings.

Rivers challenges other apartment buildings to take part.

past 30 years, the popular 50-50 fundraiser has been held at the event, but was moved online due to the pandemic.

To say the 50-50 defied expectations is an understatement.

In one week’s time sales skyrocketed in a

viral frenzy going from around $25,000 to the final tally.

“My phone lit up every time there was a sale and

it was constant the last few days,” Carroll said.

The proceeds from the draw will be spread out to area charities, he add-

ed, including local service clubs, area legions, youth groups, burn units or towards causes such as muscular dystrophy.

Take a look into my eyes, please

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

Mary Schawb’s complex medical needs have the potential to affect her eyesight.

But the 57-year-old Wallaceburg resident hasn’t been able to see an optometrist for the past 14 months and can’t get in for an appointment until March 2022.

“This is serious,” a worried Schawb told The Chatham Voice recently, noting she’s frustrated by the wait, and frightened by what could happen.

Macular degeneration, Type 2 diabetes and a rare disorder where her

body’s connective tissues lack collagen are among the disabled woman’s difficulties.

“I want to get my eyes checked as soon as I can,” she stressed.

Schawb’s son Matthew Schawb, who also suffers from severe astigmatism and is at risk of developing macular degeneration, has been doing his best to advocate for his mother without any luck.

He’s contacted six area optometrists to see if he and his mother can get earlier appointments, but all but one have turned him down.

The Schawbs are among thousand of Ontarians affected by the withdrawal of services for OHIP cases by the Ontario Association of Optome-

My mom, brother and I would collectively say we’re better for having passed through those “points.” Coming together, even with limitations, made a difference. There have been many ups and downs since then. It is in the minutiae – like working on the car, sitting down for a meal to together, or cleaning up the yard – when grief gets to us the most.

Like in backgammon, there is no skirting any steps, and despite best intention, chance can and will set you back a few “points.” Grief isn’t a game, and why we do what we do when someone dies is as old as backgammon (more than 5,000 years).

Enough hatred Editor’s Note: This editorial is courtesy News Media Canada.

Canada’s news publishers, who employ 3,000 journalists from coast to coast to coast, believe that free speech, journalistic freedom, and a strong, healthy, commercially viable, and fiercely independent media ecosystem are all vital to our democracy.

Canadians rely on their newspapers and news media to be their trusted sources of information, helping them make informed choices and holding people and institutions, including governments and corporations, accountable.

We hope that Parliamentarians will come together and take meaningful action to combat hate speech and other kinds of harmful content online, while ensuring that freedom of expression and free debate are recognized, preserved, and protected.

We are among the country’s leading defenders of freedom of speech. At the same time, as employers, we strive to provide a safe, healthy, and inclusive work environment for our journalists. As businesses who supply news and analysis, we also strive to protect our customers: the public who read our news and engage with us and their fellow readers.

We listen to our customers. We take our responsibilities to them and the broader public seriously. We try to build a better common future for all. And we are accountable for both our actions and inaction.

As a business, the news publishing industry remains under threat from unregulated and unchecked social media and online communication service providers. At the same, our journalists and readers face online harm constantly. Ask any journalist, and they’ll tell you that criticism comes with the job. And rightly so. But hate, harassment, and online and physical harm shouldn’t. It comes from the right, the left, and everywhere in between, and its victims are all too often women and racialized journalists.

We are united in supporting our journalists and newsrooms against those who seek to silence them and threaten their safety. Together, we will continue to advocate for industry-wide responses to end this behaviour.

Across the globe, journalists face physical, judicial, and online harm. In addition to harassment from individuals, journalists face sophisticated defamation campaigns to discredit them.

Opinion

Construction woes frustrating Editor: I’ve been informed that the infrastructure work of J&J Lepera on Wellington Street West will be completed by Oct. 29. In my opinion, there is not chance of that, unless they work holidays, weekends, and 12-hour days without any rain delays.

Shutting down the Third Street Bridge was difficult enough for pedestrians. However, the

addition of repairs to the Wellington Street West infrastructure at the same time has proven to be too much for me to bear.

As a result I’m moving.

This has been the worst chapter of my life in Chatham.

It’s very sad that the seniors in Chatham, especially those with mobility issues, are disregarded. I was informed

that there wasn’t any consideration (specific clauses relating to our needs) within the contract between Chatham-Kent and J&J Lepera. In some instances, I couldn’t even get to my home due to sidewalk barriers.

It appeared to me that I was being deliberately targetted and harassed by construction workers.

There was one incident

where I just should have called the police to resolve the issue.

But it has been my experience within Chatham that if you complain about something, people retaliate.

Chatham is such a backward community from my view as a world-travelled systems analyst/IT consultant.

Randall Jordan Chatham

Know the situation, then comment Editor: In the Sept. 23 Chatham Voice, a letter, “Zoo’s enclosures don’t seem big enough,” was a complaint about a local zoo/sanctuary in the area.

Lots of animals in small zoos really have nowhere

to go; most are abandoned and picked up or rescued by these sanctuaries and zoos for the animals’ welfare.

Somebody from hundreds of miles away comes through once and

complains without any knowledge, it seems, is not helping these animals. If anything, they are promoting euthanasia of these animals if these sanctuaries have to close.

People trying to evict animals from the only good home they know are not helping any cause at all.

Manage your stress C-K author Brian Knowler updates book

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

Local author, mental health coach and police officer Brian Knowler saw the damage the COVID-19 pandemic was doing to people’s lives to the point he felt he had to update one of his books.

The book, “Career Suicide is Overrated,” re-released this month following an initial release of 2018 “We’ve all been through a ton of changes due to COVID-19.

Personally, I took some time away from work to get refocused,” Knowler said. “I opted to incorporate three years of experience and put it out as a new tool.”

He added he met some “incredible people” who provided him with new perspectives on mental health, leadership, resiliency and communication since the book’s original release.

Knowler said a third of the book is new material. It merges with other

information intended to help people be good leaders, be it in the home, workplace or in volunteer organizations.

And being a leader, he said, does not necessarily mean you are in a position of authority. He uses his years as a police officer as an example.

“Leaders aren’t dictated by rank or title or role.

Leaders are dictated by if people are willing to follow them, listen to what they have to say or are willing to trust them,” he said. “Some of the best leaders I’ve ever met are constables who are perfectly content to stay in that role. They don’t aspire to move up the rank system. But the force of their personality and the fact people round them trust them, that’s what makes them a leader.”

It can be challenging balancing one’s work/home lives at the best of times.

Toss in the uncertainty of the pandemic, and stress levels have risen, Knowler said.

“People have that noseto-the-grindstone mentality and are pushing themselves so hard, worrying about finances, their health, their children’s health, they push so hard that they kind of grind their own face off,” Knowler said. “They get pushed to the point of chronic stress, chronic depression where their bodies start to break down.”

He added signs are everywhere that this stress is running rampant. Social media interactions with people, for example often show a lack of civility. He added there is a cycle of fear and anger with the pandemic.

Drug and alcohol use, domestic violence, mental health issues among youth have all risen drastically, Knowler said.

Learning how to deal with the stress rather than leaving it to fester, is crucial, he said. Exercise, playing with your children and other healthy outlets trump turning inwards and letting issues

bubble under the surface.

Problems develop in all occupations, Knowler said.

“It doesn’t matter the profession or level of experience, people are pushing themselves; they’re not taking care of themselves. A lot of managers aren’t tuned in and aren’t watching as closely as they should be,” he said.

Knowler added not watching closely could be due to a lack of education on the part of the manager or a lack of empathy.

The former can be fixed.

He said his book is for anybody, and contains about three-dozen short chapters.

“Career Suicide is Overrated” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and Apple Books. Knowler said if

In nine years, approximately $800,000 has been raised for Grade 7 Catholic elementary school students and the student leadership team from Ursuline College. More than 3,500 students have received financial support to attend a four-day outdoor learning experience at the Muskoka Leadership Camp on Lake Rosseau.

At past events, 40 de-

signer Christmas trees were raffled off each year.

The trees were provided by local businesses and organizations, and one from each of the Catholic schools in Chatham-Kent.

“Christmas in Muskoka has brought our Catholic schools and the Chatham-Kent community together at one of the most important times of the year,” Scott Johnson, director of education for St. Clair Catholic, said.

Organizers hope to see the event return in 2022, and already set the dates for Nov. 15-19 next year.

Opinion

No place in society for such hatred Continued from page 6

These threats, and their potential impact on journalistic freedom of expression, have detrimental implications for society at large.

The findings of a survey conducted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the International Center for Journalists about online violence against women journalists are alarming: 73 per cent of women respondents said they had experienced online violence; 20 per cent said they had been attacked or abused offline in incidents seeded online; and 41 per cent said they had been the targets of online attacks that appeared to be linked to orchestrated disinformation campaigns.

The impact of this violence on mental health is sobering: 38 per cent missed work; 11 per cent quit their jobs; and two per cent abandoned journalism altogether.

It also impacts journalistic practices and audience engagement: 30 per cent self-censor on social media; 20 per cent only ‘broadcast’ and avoid all interaction; and 10 per cent avoid pursuing particular stories.

Like news publishers, online platforms curate content. They reap all the benefits of being a publisher, albeit on much more commercially favourable terms.

At present, however, they do not have the same responsibilities and are not held accountable in the many ways that news publishers are in Canada. Indeed, they have allowed fake news and disinformation to proliferate around the globe, and they have profited from it handsomely.

Big Tech has a societal obligation to moderate these activities, just as any news publisher does.

In the United States, section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act exempts them from liability over hosting user-generated content and from liability when they choose to remove that content. However, global companies operating in Canada are subject to Canadian law and should conduct themselves accordingly.

As advertisers know, these firms have enormous and extremely sophisticated technical prowess.

Why then have they failed in their duty as content moderators and allowed harmful content targeted at journalists to be amplified on their platforms?

As a matter of principle, our journalists should be afforded the same protections in the online world as they are in the offline world. Accordingly, we recommend that the Government of Canada explicitly recognize online threats to journalists directly in legislation.

At the same time, online platforms should act responsibly.

First, they should act upon reports of harassment from news publishers and journalists within 24 hours.

Second, they should invest in technology to detect online hate against journalists.

Third, they should detail online harm against journalists in their transparency reports.

Fourth, they should be held accountable through Canada’s libel, defamation, and hate laws, just as Canada’s news publishers are.

Fifth, they should face economic

penalties when they fail to comply with Canadian laws.

Finally, they should make it hard for Internet trolls to ‘profit’ from the monetization of content that harms journalists.

As a society, we need to do everything we can to protect democratic expression, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t protect journalists. All publishers, including Internet intermediaries, should be held accountable for harmful content. Canada’s publishers stand with our journalists, who won’t be silenced, and readers, who want to be informed.

Life

Which came first, the turkey or the Egg? Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I did something I’ve never done before – plunked a 5.5-kilogram turkey on the Big Green Egg. We went looking for a chicken to do beer butt style on the Egg for the weekend, but all we could find at the store were turkeys.

Mary Beth returned with the bird, and I still offered to do it on the Egg, since it can cook just like an oven and keeps everything so darned moist.

So, as she prepped the bird inside, I prepped the barbecue outside.

After getting it up to about 320 F, I added the plate setter, which turns the barbecue into an indirect-heating oven, and waited for the temperature to settle a bit more.

On went the bird and open went the beverages.

Such a large, cold bird messed with the temperature of the Egg a bit, so I had to adjust a few times and went through more lump charcoal than I expected to use, but the end result was spectacular.

Mary Beth is the turkey expert; I’ve never cooked anything other than a turkey breast, so I relied on her knowledge. “Twenty minutes a pound,” was her advice.

I didn’t even put in a meat probe, trusting Mary’s turkey knowledge.

After a little more than three hours, she checked the firmness of one leg, commented it would be another 30 minutes or so. I popped another beverage.

As advertised, the bird was ready at the pre-determined time. It had browned up beautifully. The drip pan, which we’d added water to on a couple of occasions, was the starting point for our gravy, and it had done a great job keeping the turkey moist.

Cauliflower, garlic smashed potatoes, stuffing (cheated on the stove top inside) and brown sugar squash completed the meal. It was delicious.

The turkey was very juicy and had a slight smoky flavour from the Egg, as did the squash.

I’d cook turkey that way again in

The Gift returns The Chatham Voice

In a month’s time, Gift season returns to Chatham-Kent.

The Gift is back for 2021, and organizers ask that residents place a gift on their porch Nov. 20 at noon. Volunteers will pick up the gifts, which will be distributed over the holiday season to those in need.

“I just couldn’t believe the thoughtfulness in my store last year. Kids shopping for kids, my heart was bursting. This year I’m challenging even more businesses to get involved and I’m going to work with the schools to put up an awesome prize to get even more kids involved. We can go farther,” Andrew Bordeau, owner of Toy Wars in Wallaceburg, said in a media release.

Bruce Corcoran a heartbeat.

Tasting at the Barn

Mary Beth and I have stopped in at Red Barn Brewing in the past to pick up local

craft beer, but we finally had the opportunity recently to go in and sit down to sample some beer, enjoy a hot pretzel and take in the atmosphere of the tasting room.

It truly is gorgeous in side the barn. Denny, Sandy and Dan, and their family, have done a great job in there.

As for the beer, it was on point as well. We each ordered a “flight” of four samplers.

Mary went for the selection of sours on tap, while I opted for more traditional offerings – a

red, an IPA, a pilsner and a heavy ale.

All were quite tasty. So many different flavours all at once.

We opted for a hot pretzel while we were there and it was a perfect compliment for the beer.

Mary and I shared a third flight of beer – four new beer flavours to try.

Through all those beverages, I believe we had only tasted two of them before.

It sounds like we guzzled a great deal of craft beer, but

that’s the great thing about the flights – the four sampler glasses perhaps make up a pint of beer. So we really only had a pint and a half each over the course of a couple of hours.

I must thank Denny for stopping by the table to chat beer and plans for the brewery in the future. They’ve got a really good thing going just north of Blenheim and I encourage people to sample what they’re making...responsibly of course.

CHKA mandatory GRAND vaxx deadline looms RE-OPENING

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

The number of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance employees facing termination for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine has shrunk to 38.

The news from hospital chief executive officer Lori Marshall came late last week as the clock ticks toward the Oct. 31 deadline mandating all employees have the shot.

The policy appears to be having an impact, with 89 per cent of employees now fully vaccinated and another seven per cent partially vaccinated.

Of the physicians at CKHA, 97 per cent are fully vaccinated and 1.5 per cent are partially vaccinated.

At an online media scrum last week, Marshall told reporters 96 per cent of staff will be fully immunized by month’s end.

“We have the intent to be able to say to our community and our organization that everyone who is working on Oct. 31, from that day forward, will be fully vaccinated,” Marshall said.

Hospital staff will continue to work with vaccine hesitant employees on a “case by case” basis, she said, in the event an individual decides to change their mind about

taking the shot.

No single segment of the employee population is declining the vaccine, Marshall noted, with the split between casual and full-time to clinical and non-clinical running about 50-50.

The CKHA mandatory vaccine policy follows similar policies at hospitals around the province.

While controversy continues to swirl around the vaccine with protests occurring at hospitals across the country, Marshall said nothing of the sort has happened at either the Chatham or Wallaceburg sites.

“We have not seen that in Chatham-Kent,” she said.

Home sales stay hot in C-K The Chatham Voice

Chatham-Kent’s housing market enjoyed a hot September, setting a new sales record while prices remained high.

A total of 152 properties sold in Chatham-Kent, according to the Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors (CKAR), a record

for the month of September and up more than 10 per cent from a year ago.

In terms of a longer view, sales in September were 17.5 per cent above the five-year average and 31.3 per cent above the 10-year average for the month.

On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled a record 1,379 units

over the first nine months of the year. This was up by 36.1 per cent from the same period in 2020.

“Home sales in the Chatham-Kent region defied the trend seen in most other markets across Ontario and posted a record high for September,” Laura Tourangeau, president of CKAR, said in a media release. “A large part of the uptick in sales has been the higher levels of new inventory hitting the market.”

The average price of homes sold in September 2021 was a record $463,605, up 46.5 per cent

from September 2020.

The more comprehensive yearto-date average price is $411,948, up by 35.6 per cent from the first nine months of 2020.

The dollar value of all home sales in September 2021 was $70.5 million, a substantial increase of 61.4 per cent from the same month in 2020. This was also a new record for the month of September.

“Despite a rise in new listings, inventory is still well below average levels and as a result, prices continue to hit new highs,” Torangeau said.

The number of new listings rose by 32.3 per cent from September 2020. There were 213

new residential listings in September 2021. This was the largest number of new listings added in the month of September in more than a decade.

New listings were 28.3 per cent above the five-year average and 20.4 per cent above the 10-year average for the month of September.

Active residential listings numbered 208 units on the market at the end of September, a gain of 55.2 per cent from the end of September 2020.

Active listings were 9.3 per cent below the five-year average and 47.7 per cent below the 10-year average for the month of September.
