By Pat Bailey After a long year of planning and a long, oppressively hot weekend filled with the stresses that go along with organizing one of the largest annual events to hit Leamington, the board of Hogs for Hospice was relieved and exhausted Monday morning following a long weekend of activity.

But there was no rest for the weary – no sleeping in and revelling in the success of the 3rd Annual Hogs for Hospice event, held August 3-5.

There was no time to pat themselves on the back for another job well done. It didn’t matter that they had been responsible for attracting more than 2,000 bikers for the Hogs ‘Tour the

Tip’ ride, brought in about 20,000 visitors to Seacliff Park to take in all that was the annual hospice fundraiser, had handled two concerts and about 8,000 rock and country fans in those shows featuring Cheap Trick and Randy Houser – and it all went off virtually without a hitch.

Harness Racing Opens For the Season And they’re off. Harness racing returned to the Leamington Fairgrounds on Sunday, August 5, the first of 13 race dates for 2018. Hundreds turned out to take in the races. Bill Kirkpatrick, owner, rider, trainer, riding Abitofalright (#2), edged out the competition in a photo finish.

Up, Up and Away

Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls took time out on Sunday at the kickoff to harness racing season to lend his support and congratulate race winner Bill Kirkpatrick and Abitofalright, who’s pictured with harness racing representative Lynette Bain.

The Wheatley Branch of the ChathamKent Public Library held its Up, Up and Away program as part of the TD Summer Reading Club on Thursday, August 2. Participants heard about helium balloons and enjoyed a story before making their own balloon baskets. Pictured here, from left to right are Emily Neufeld, Lucy Dobson, Rachel Neufeld, Leah Neufeld, Lilly Hamm, Rosemary Hamm, Alyssa Ande and Kayla Casimiro. Next week’s theme is Build With the Three Little Pigs.

letters to the editor Re: Council struggles with tax loss (Aug. 1 issue)

Editor, Leamington Council has been discussing their new net pay as new tax laws come into effect.

I have no problem at all with the level of pay for our Mayor and Councillors .

I do have a problem with the fact that new tax laws impacting their net pay needs to be compensated by an increase of pay when this same Council easily puts a new financial burden on many in our community with new small business license requirements.

Here is my why: With the implementation of the new business license requirement, I have been told by one of the councillors that no business would go broke on this.

Yet this same councillor will not absorb the normal tax he has to pay now, like every regular Canadian.

Consider the difference: A councillor, receiving an additional pay of $19,400 on top of their regular income, and the impact of the new business license on residents with a small home business, who earn at their best efforts a gross revenue of $5,000 up to perhaps $ 20,000, being forced by the same Council to obtain each year a license at $225 – plus additional insurance at $800$1000, and for some a vulnerable sector check at $25.

No consideration has been given to the financial impact for the people involved.

As usual, these things are decided by people in cushy financial circumstances.

It shows once again how easy it is to spend someone else’s money.

– Aad Ahsmann, Leamington

Meteor showers this weekend

By Gary Boyle The Backyard Astronomer The weekend of August 11-13 will be a great time for heading out of town to the great outdoors, especially at night. This is the weekend of the annual Perseid meteor shower and during the peak nights of August 11-12 and August 12-13, more than 100 meteors (shooting stars) can be seen per hour.

The shower is the result of Earth encountering the gritty debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. These meteors will strike the atmosphere at around 60 km/second and cause long streaks which completely vaporize. The average particle size is that of large sand grain, but some small peagravel size meteors can cause bright fireballs that light up the sky and ground.

It is best to head out of town to enjoy the dark skies with the beautiful Milky Way stretching from the south and continuing overhead. The planet Saturn is immersed in the band of star above the constellation Sagittarius. The planet Mars will keep you company all night long as it is low in the southeast as the sky darkens. New Moon occurs on the 11th so it will not wash out the sky with its brilliance like other years.

Find a wide open area and bring a lawn chair, snacks and bug spray, but respect trespassing on private property and fields.

Serious motorcycle crash On Saturday, August 4 at approximately 10:24 p.m., emergency crews responded to a single vehicle collision on Talbot Trail and Stevenson Road in Romney Twp., east of Wheatley.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Talbot Trail when the driver lost control and left the roadway. A 71-year-old Melbourne man suffered life-threatening injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Chatham-Kent Police Service, Constable Dan Clarke at danc@chatham-kent.ca or 519-355-1092.

OPP seek witnesses to break-in in Leamington On August 6 at approximately 5:20 a.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a break and enter in the 100 block of Oak Street in Leamington.

When a man at the residence answered the door, three male suspects carrying weapons forced their way in. A female in the home was injured when she attempted to flee out a window.

Two of the suspects were wearing disguises. The third suspect was not disguised and is believed to be known to the victims.

All three suspects fled the residence on foot and as of press time are still outstanding.

Although police believe this is an isolated incident, the crime is possibly related to a disturbance a few hours earlier occurring outside a Talbot Street West Leamington business.

Police are asking anyone having knowledge of this crime to please come forward immediately to assist in bringing these suspects to justice.

Anyone with information regarding this or any other incident is asked to call the Leamington OPP Major Crime Unit at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.catchcrooks. com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

RIB’S RAMBLINGS

Wednesday, August 8, 2018

Visiting and reminiscing

We took the in-laws on a mini road trip on Monday, allowing them to visit their old haunts in Arkona for the first time in almost 40 years.

It was refreshing to see my father-in-law’s Mark Ribble face light up when he recognized certain landmarks in that area.

He did a lot of camping there when he was young and they brought their kids back in the early seventies too.

I imagined that he felt as good as I do when I visit Point Pelee on occasion.

I didn’t do much camping when I was a kid. In fact, I don’t remember really going anywhere for vacation. My dad was a busy baseball coach in the summer and we really never did summer vacations.

We did do one trip in the summer of 1970 (I think) to Madoc with our cousins, the Pursels. I remember my cousin Rob coming in from a swim in the lake covered in leeches, and I remember the campground had a huge outdoor dance floor and music playing on the Saturday night. We also had car trouble on the way there and my dad had to set up our borrowed tent in the dark. Good times.

The majority of my childhood summer memories stem from my experiences at good old Point Pelee. The tourists flocked to what I considered my home turf, and I met kids whom I’d never have met otherwise.

During the last few years that we lived down there, summer cottagers rented space on our property to spend their summers there and I made a lot of friends from Windsor and Detroit.

I looked forward to summers for that reason.

From hanging out at Sikkema’s concession stand on the east beach side, to fishing for carp at the boardwalk, we spent a lot of time outdoors.

No video games, computers or cell phones. Our cell phones were waxed string and tin cans. Our entertainment was pretending to be firemen or cowboys, complete with rubber boots on our feet or plastic six-shooters strapped to our waists.

Imaginations ran wild in those days, unlike today when technology has impeded that.

I do see lots of imagination from my grandchildren and I’m grateful for that, but I fear that once they leave the toddler stage of life, their dependence on technology will squash that.

I take joy in watching them pretend to cook me something, or when they ‘drive’ their toys around the living room.

I take an equal amount of joy from re-visiting places I’ve been to over the course of this life and reminiscing about those places.

My father-in-law’s excitement during our visit on Monday made the trip worthwhile.

He’s battling Alzheimer’s and just watching him as he reminisced about fishing the Ausable River and camping in that area was a joy.

I’ve never been to Arkona, but I could feel the familiarity that he and my mother-in-law and my wife all had with the area up there. That made me happy.

My wife loves coming to Point Pelee with me, so it’s the least I could do after years of her having to hear about where I lived and the things I did as a kid down there.

Memories have a way of making us feel good. For those who have trouble with their memory, that glimmer of awareness is sometimes all they have to hold onto.

Blueberries and raspberries top the list in antioxidant activity You may recall a famous saying from Paul Revere which goes, “The blueberries are coming! The raspberries are coming!” I may have that quote a bit wrong, but they, meaning the blueberries and raspberries, are in fact ready and waiting for you.

Local blueberries and raspberries.

Delicious and nutritious.

Early coloKim Cooper nists from Europe learned from our First Nations people how to gather blueberries, dry them under the summer’s sun and store them for the winter. In time, blueberries became an important food source and were preserved, and later canned. A beverage made with blueberries was an important staple for Civil War soldiers.

Raspberries have been used as a food source and medicinal plant for at least 10,000 years. Raspberries were actually cultivated by the Romans in the 4th century.

In the 16th century raspberries began to show up in home gardens in Europe as the wild berry plants were brought in from woodlands. The use of the raspberry as a medicine

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Editor

Sheila McBrayne

continued to be common at this time. The 19th century saw 20 or more cultivars for red raspberries in England and the U.S. The first U.S. raspberries were brought from Europe in 1771 and sold in New York. After the American Civil War, commercial raspberry production began to increase.

Canada ranks second in world blueberry production and seventh in world raspberry production. Canadian exports of blueberries are over $300-million and are the largest fruit crop produced nationally, occupying more than half of all Canadian fruit acreage. Only 3% of raspberries are sold fresh – 97% are processed into jams, jellies, drinks, canned, frozen, retail, wholesale packs and bakery products.

Blueberries and raspberries top the list of some 40 fruits, juices and vegetables in their antioxidant activity. Antioxidants have anti-aging effects because they are scavengers of free radicals, which are atoms that can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease and age-related diseases.

Just 3.5 ounces of blueberries, enough to cover a bowl of cereal in the morning, has the antioxidant capacity of 1,773 International Units of vitamin E. Most people have heard about the antioxidant power of substances such as vitamins C, E and beta carotene. But fruits and vegetables, including

raspberries and blueberries, are like super vitamins filled with dozens of other disease-preventing substances.

Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, with 30 mg per serving of 1 cup (about 50% daily value), manganese (about 60% daily value) and dietary fiber (30% daily value).

Contents of B vitamins 1-3, folic acid, magnesium, copper, and iron are considerable in raspberries.

Blueberries and raspberries are low in calories, virtually fat free and a good source of fibre.

So enjoy fresh blueberries, raspberries, and other berries grown right here in Chatham-Kent and Essex County. You can purchase and/or pick your own delicious and nutritious berries – make it an experience for your entire household; something they will never forget. By doing this and other amazing things this summer, you will find out more about a leading economic driver – AGRICULTURE! The harvest is here, so make sure you purchase and enjoy locally grown berries.

Just some food for thought.

Weed in the workplace: Are you fit for work?

By Sheila McBrayne Dealing with marijuana is nothing new to the Ontario Provincial Police, but with the legalization of recreational cannabis set to take effect on October 17, local police are preparing for an increase in violators.

Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sargent Stu Bertram and Jeanine Lasaline-Berglund were the guest speakers at the Leamington Chamber of Commerce’s Marijuana and the Workplace presentation held Thursday, July 19 at the Leamington Arts Centre. Approximately 60 local businesses owners and managers filled the Main Gallery to hear how the legalization of marijuana could affect business.

The one-hour question and answer session debunked several myths, including having to allow employees to smoke marijuana on breaks ‘because it’s legal’.

“Most work places already have policies in place dealing with smoking and being ‘fit for work’. And if they don’t, they should,” said Lasaline-Berglund of STEPSTONE Consulting.

She explained that the workplace rules around marijuana will be similar to alcohol. Employees 19 years or older can legally drink, but cannot be impaired at work. Workplace policies must be updated to include all variations of impairment.

If a manager or supervisor believes that an employee is impaired, although they deny it, a written report about the offence should always be completed and kept on file.

As for driving while impaired by marijuana, the criminal charge of driving while impaired will apply. “The police have been dealing with drug impaired drivers – this is not new for police agencies, but the volume may increase,” stated Lasaline-Berglund.

Police use their best judgement in determining if a driver is impaired, and OPP have recently added Drug Recognition Experts (DREs).

Training to become a DRE is intense, but Sgt. Bertram said the OPP hope to have one certified DRE on each shift for the county. There are roadside testing devices for drug impairment, but Sgt. Bertram cautioned that they are very expensive and relatively new. “Technology needs to catch up,” he stated.

Sgt. Bertram reminded everyone that dispensaries remain illegal. The current delivery method for recreational cannabis in Ontario is an LCBO model currently called Ontario Cannabis Stores (OCS). To find out more about OCS locations check https://ocscannabisupdates.com/ MEDICAL MARIJUANA: Medical marijuana is still only available through a licenced producer. The coming leg-

islation will determine the path forward beyond this including medical dispensaries, pharmacies and pain clinics.

RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA: The only model today is through OCS – rules for marketing and advertising are very stringent.

PERSONAL PLANTS: The current legislation allows four plants per household. Only 30 grams are allowed to be on a person at any given time. Thirty grams is equal to approximately a pack and a half of regular cigarettes. Sgt. Bertram warned that growing and using personal plants increases risks for quality, strain and THC levels, general byproducts and potentially hazardous contents like E. coli and pesticides.

AS AN EMPLOYER: DOES THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA MEAN EMPLOYEES CAN BE IMPAIRED AT WORK? No. Employers will have the right to set rules for non-medical use of marijuana in the workplace in much the same way that employers currently set rules for use of alcohol. In particular, employers may prohibit the use of marijuana at work or during working hours and may also prohibit employees from attending work while impaired. Workplace rules regarding non-medical use of marijuana may be enforced through the application of the employer’s progressive discipline policy.

To learn more about how this effects the workplace go to: https://www.pshsa.ca/cannabis-in-theworkplace/ or https://www.ontario.ca/page/cannabislegalization#section-8 DOES THE DUTY TO ACCOMMODATE EXTEND TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA: Yes. The duty to accommodate, as required by provincial and federal human rights legislation, extends to disabled employees who use medical marijuana. These employees are to be accommodated in the same way as an employer accommodates any other disabled employee who has been prescribed medication. Accommodation is also required for employees who may have an addiction disability. However, the duty to accommodate is not without limits.

OPP Staff Sargent Stu Bertram with Jeanine Lasaline-Berglund.

Employees have a duty to work safely. An employee may have difficulty completing tasks in a safe manner while working impaired. These requirements are in place to make sure that you, your co-workers and the public are not put in danger.

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety provides online information about impairment at work. It also offers courses, including impairment and cannabis in the workplace.

FORMS OF CANNABIS LEGAL TODAY: Dry bud and oil extraction ILLEGAL TODAY: Topicals, creams, edibles, drinks – all not part of current legislation and illegal under the Act. The long-term goal is to get away from smoking, which is cancer causing. THC can only be activated through heat, so vaping is better than smoking and all other forms will activate through production process. Ingestion has different effects than inhalation and controlled production accounts for this as part of product development, research and development, and government testing and approval.

Hogs for Hospice

(Continued from Front) trying to recover, the Hogs for Hospice team went back to its roots – back to its reason for being.

Monday morning the board of directors, Joe Oswald, Donny Pacheco, Benji Mastronardi, Brian Cornies, Tim Iles, Scott Tayor and Dave Hodare, arrived at Erie Shores Hospice laden with leftover food from the weekend event to thank the staff and volunteers, and deliver heartfelt best wishes to the patients and families currently using the hospice services.

“It was a great reminder of why we do this,” said Oswald. Oswald.

One of the founders of the event, Oswald said he is so proud to be affiliated with the organization but even more proud to be a part of the greater community – a community filled with sponsors, volunteers and supporters who helped ensure the weekend was a resounding success.

And the amazing generosity of those involved, like local country band ‘Buck Twenty’.

Oswald said they searched long and hard for an opening country act to lead into headliner Randy Houser. While many other acts approached his board for the honour of opening for the CMA nominated ‘country artist of the year’, Oswald said they did their research and sought out Buck Twenty.

Their decision, he said, proved to be a no-brainer.

“They were the most humble guys,” said Oswald, not to mention The Hogs for Hospice board graced the stage briefly to thank the community for its support. Board memamazingly talented and entertaining.

Just one more example, said Oswald, of the type of people who are responsible for the event’s success.

And it was through the generosity of fellow board member Benji Mastronardi and his brother Chris Mastronardi, owners of Double Diamond Farms, that veterans were able to participate in the ride without paying the entrance fee. They also covered the cost of concert tickets as a small token of appreciation for those who have served their country.

Oswald himself could be found anywhere and everywhere in and around Seacliff Park on the weekend, whether he was taking care of the talent, cheering on the bikers as they headed out of the park or directing traffic at There were motorcycles aplenty in Leamington on the weekSeacliff and Sherk, and always with a smile About 200 veterans attended the opening ceremony of the Hogs for Hospice end, including this rider who won this round of the slow ride on his face or a tear in his eye. event at the biker games.

Eventually, said Oswald, they’d like to see all of the local churches close their doors on the Civic Holiday weekend Sunday, and instead, encourage all of their parishioners to worship as one with the Hogs for Hospice family at the park.

Motocross Stunt Show at Hogs for Hospice The Jordan Szoke motocross stunt show was an impressive high-flying event during Hogs for Hospice weekend August 3-5. The show took place on Seacliff Drive right in front of the park.

(Sun-Journal photos)

Stunt riders performed Saturday and Sunday at various times to showcase their high-flying stunts.

The motocross was a little too loud for this unidentified youngster, but she couldn’t take her eyes of the high-flying action.

Volunteers in the VIP area made sure everyone stayed hydrated and nourished for the evening concerts at Leamington’s Amphitheatre.

Fish Fest a hit for 2018

By Bryan Jessop Thanks in part to nearly ideal weather conditions, the annual Wheatley Fish Festival was a success this year from start to finish.

The yearly community event was backed by a lengthy list of supporters, sponsors and volunteers who helped run a multitude of activities and attractions from one end of town to the other — from Two Creeks Conservation Area to the north to Wheatley Harbour to the south. The list of events over the August Civic Holiday weekend was preceded by a 5 km Walk/ Run on Saturday, July 28 and the Southwest Outdoors Club’s Big Boyz Fishing Derby from July 27 to August 5.

Event glitches were few and far between, an accomplishment the Wheatley Optimist Club’s Larry McDonald noted couldn’t have been pulled off by any solitary individual.

“There were a lot of people who got involved to help run different parts of the festival,” he noted. “Everyone worked together — it was a true team effort. It’s been a super year for Fish Festival.”

The Big Boyz Fishing Derby drew more than 600 entries this year while the Saturday evening Perch Dinner at Wheatley Area Arena was attended by a crowd of about 300 guests — both turnouts being consistent with previous years.

The Optimist Club’s 50/50 draw — with proceeds funding youth programming including the festival’s new Kids’ Zone, Pet Parade and Wheatley Idol — generated in excess of $550.

Friday, Aug. 3 activities included the Smoked Fish Contest at the Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion, a Legion Ladies Auxiliary Bake Sale and a live performance from The Mojo Wailers. The Bake Sale continued Saturday morning, which also featured a Friendship Club open house with barbecue, indoor yard sale and vendors as well as the Pet Parade at Coulter Park. The parade again marched along from Omstead Drive south to Lamarsh Street, led by the Wheatley Legion Colour Guard and the Royal Scot Shriners Pipes and Drums.

Wheatley Idol was again Saturday’s main draw at Coulter Park, attracting 16 contestants made up of both new and return entries in five age categories. The well-known Yellow Perch

Jangles the Clown puts the finishing touches on a balloon creation as Wheatley Idol spectators of all ages look on at Coulter Park Saturday, Aug. 4.

Clara Brown drops a line into the water for the Fish Pond, one of the new Kids’ Zone attractions Saturday, Aug. 4. The section of Erie Street North immediately north of Talbot Street to Elm Street was the hub of activity again for this year’s Wheatley Fish Festival, hosting Wheatley Idol, the Kids’ Zone, Pet Parade and other attractions while surrounding areas including Wheatley Area Arena and The Friendship Club also featured numerous attractions.

Nolan Jones and Dash the Black Lab take a rest during the Fish Festival Pet Parade at Coulter Park Saturday, Aug. 4. At 14 years of age, Dash won the award for the Oldest category.

Addison Unsworth gets Golden Retriever turned lion Jo Jo to jump through a hoop for the Best Trick category in this year’s Fish Festival Pet Parade at Coulter Park.

and Broasted Chicken Dinner was featured at Wheatley Area Arena Saturday evening.

“Everyone had a really nice time,” McDonald said of this year’s fish fry. “The Car Barn did an excellent job catering and we had a lot of help from the Legion.”

The Jody Raffoul Band performed at the Legion to close out Saturday’s activities. The Big Boyz Derby wrap-up brought a crowd

back to the arena for food, beverages, raffle prizes and awards Sunday afternoon while the day’s attractions wrapped up at Two Creeks Conservation Area with country/bluegrass band Winterline.

Also at Two Creeks, Family Day was introduced to Fish Festival Monday, Aug. 6. Visitors were encouraged to walk the site’s trails and bring their bikes to meet the new Two Creeks Bicycle

Wheatley Legion expands foot care support

Friendship Club members enjoyed a toe-tappin’ afternoon while enjoying musical entertainment provided by, left to right, The Torrance Sisters – Marjorie and Ruth – and Bob Dawson.

(Submitted photo)

Friendship Club enjoys musical afternoon

By Bonnie Dawson The Friendship Club meeting of August 1 began with the singing of O Canada led by Doreen Armstrong on piano and Bob Dawson on guitar. President Harold Dundas then gave the blessing.

A moment of silence was observed in honour of Dorothy Stevenson who recently passed away. Dorothy was a very active member of the Wheatley & District Friendship Club and the Wheatley United Church. She had been in charge of the kitchen at the club for many years, looking after funeral luncheons, lunches whenever the Senior Games held an event there, potlucks, bake sales, etc., and she quilted twice a week. She was the club’s Senior of the Year in 2017. It was a shock to members to hear of her passing as she’d been to the previous meeting on July 18 and had been quilting at the Friendship Club the day before she died. She will be missed.

Thanks to Harold Dundas who was on lunch and provided delicious cake and ice -cream.

Also thanks to Heather Vannieuwenburg who poured the tea and coffee, and to all who helped in the cleanup.

The winners of the 50/50 draws were Heather Vannieuwenburg and Carol Roach.

The Torrance Sisters and Bob Dawson were musical guests for the afternoon. They began their program with a couple of songs in honour of Dorothy Stevenson, one of them being “Wait For the Light To Shine”. Other songs included “Heartaches By the Number”, “Crystal Chandelier”, “Stand Beside Me”, “Coat of Many Colours”, “Green, Green Grass of Home”, “I Wouldn’t Change You If I could”, “The Mountain Song”, “Help Is On the Way” and “Amazing Grace”. Thank you Marjorie, Ruth and Bob for an entertaining afternoon.

Info about the Friendship Club open house on Fish Fest weekend and winners of the quilt will be in the next Friendship Club FYI report.

The next meeting will be on August 15 at 1:30 p.m.

It will feature donuts and Bingo. Help will be needed to set up and pour tea and coffee.

The meeting ended with the benediction. Until next time…

Normally, those goings on are about trades, contract renewals and extensions, free agency, rookie drafts, retirements, shakeups on the coaching staff and the like. Once again, however, one of the latest items of controversy is about the guy who more or less pays all those salaries.

I suppose the heat surrounding Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk isn’t exactly breaking news. Sens fans have had enough of his neglectful treatment of the team for quite some time now, but the pressure to get rid of him one way or another seems to have reached new heights.

For any Canadian hockey fans not familiar with Melnyk’s relationship involving the team that he owns, think Harold Ballard. Well, maybe the situation isn’t THAT bad (yet), but it’s still far from enviable. To give you an idea on how much ire there is among the Ottawa faithful, fans have launched a Go Fund Me page to finance a “Melnyk Out” billboard just down the road from the Canadian Tire Centre where the Sens play (to crowds that have become conspicuously short of sell outs even at the best of times, I might add). Why put that kind of money into shaming the team owner? Well, many fans tried taking more traditional routes by brandishing homemade signs declaring their dislike for Eugene, but those were confiscated by security. Freedom of speech in the nation’s capital? Not a chance.

The long and short of it is that while Melnyk’s net worth is well beyond what most of us could ever dream of, the fact of the matter is that he just doesn’t have pockets deep enough to continue operating an NHL franchise. True, the same can be said of Andrew Barroway, who at a net value of about $50 million US has no business owning the Coyotes.

The league, however, will do whatever it takes to help prop up a southern US team and the Ottawa Senators do NOT fit the description.

Similar to what the Habs have been doing since they won their last Cup (19-friggin’-93), Melnyk is trading off tal-

ent for “prospects.” Such is not the practice of an owner or ownership group who/that can afford to ice a competitive team. I may have mentioned this before, but deploying these tactics to improve the financial bottom line is akin to smashing a clock with a hammer to save time. At any rate, you could well imagine how this does nothing to improve Melnyk’s image with the fans.

Some Sens supporters are dreaming about a day when the league forces Mel to sell. It’s been done in the past (although I’m not sure how it can be done legally), but I don’t think it’s an option that will ever come to fruition. Simply being a bad/cheap owner isn’t going to get someone the bum’s rush.

Melnyk insists that he is passionate and dedicated to being the Senators’ owner for many years to come if for no other reason than the fact that he is a true, red-blooded Canadian — kind of a tough explanation for the other 33 million of us to swallow considering the fact that he has lived in Barbados since the early ‘90s.

So what’s to become of the Sens? Will they one day go the way of the Ottawa Roughriders or Renegades? Hopefully not. Word on the street is that Melnyk’s had offers (or at least interest) from Andre Desmarais and Guy Laliberte to purchase the Senators. This little development may evolve into nothing more than a means of getting hopes up for fans, only to have them smashed to pieces — not unlike the actual team’s promising start in the 2017-’18 season.

Both Melnyk and the Devcore Canderel partners (Desmarais and Laliberte) see relocation as a potential solution to the team’s financial problems. No, that doesn’t mean sending the franchise to Houston or San Francisco, although Bettman would love nothing more. Ottawa, apparently, has some undeveloped land in a section of the city called LeBreton Flats that would be far more convenient for most spectators than the current address in Kanata. Most real estate agents will cite “location, location, location” as the most crucial factor in finding a happy home, but if Eugene is still at the helm, would new digs solve the problem in the long term? I have

my doubts.

Nowadays, owning a professional sports franchise is more of a hobby Bryan Jessop or a status symbol for the ultra rich than a means of generating income. Some teams continue to turn over a handsome profit despite spiralling player salaries, but many do not. Some estimates peg about half of the NHL’s teams as bleeders of red ink. That wouldn’t be a big problem for the Devcore duo, but it’s bad news for Melnyk, new arena or not. On that note, would Ottawa taxpayers feel receptive to footing the lion’s share of THAT bill? Apparently, Eugene and the capital’s mayor aren’t exactly the best of friends, so that little exercise in corporate welfare would likely be an uphill battle.

What about Quebec City? Some would argue that the Ottawa area will always be divided by Leafs and Habs fans anyway, so why not relocate to a city that has a new NHLworthy arena just waiting to welcome a team? Alas, it’s not that easy. Even though it would be a break even scenario in Bettman’s mission to eradicate the league’s Canadian component, it would present two problems in the commissioner’s eyes. For one, Ottawa is the bigger of the two centres.

Secondly, placing a team in QC presents a language barrier.

What’s funny is that Bruins fans are among those pointing an accusing finger at the Habs as an entity blocking the return of the Nordiques. Sure, I get it — anything to portray a bitter rival in a negative light. But when your team’s owner (Jeremy Jacobs) is the biggest opponent to a team in Quebec City that the universe has ever known, well…. ‘nuff said.

So, barring a change of heart on the sale front, it seems that among Sens fans, the status quo will be in order for some time to come. Sorry.

Wheatley Idol celebrates 15 years

By Bryan Jessop Although the job gets a little easier each year for organizers, judges had as tough a time as ever with their duties for this year’s Wheatley Idol.

For the second consecutive year, Wheatley Fish Festival’s singing competition was held at Coulter Park across from the Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion, where a crowd of guests were treated to 16 impressive performances by entries in five different age categories. A committee led

by Kym and Meghan Mercer prepared and organized this year’s Idol for the second straight year, backed by a sizeable team of volunteers and sponsors.

This year’s event was judged by Michele Law, James Daniel and Catherine Batten while Windsor’s Country 92.7/95.9FM radio personality Cordell Green again served as emcee. This year’s Wheatley Idol was surrounded by a new Kids’ Zone, offering a ‘fishing’ pool, face painting and Jangles The Clown for youth visitors. In addition to the 16 entries, performances were made by special guests Kalle Nis“I was really sila — winner of surprised. I was Wheatley Idol 14 in 2017 — caught off guard and The Swingwhen they ing Belles, a St. announced John’s, Nfld.my name.” based children’s — Malia Afonso music trio.

The 2016 Juno Award winners performed a set of original tunes through arrangements made by John Law, who co-directs the annual Kingsville Folk Music Festival along with wife Michele.

Wheatley Idol was again supported by the Wheatley Optimist Club and a long list of cash, prize and raffle sponsors.

All contestants received flowers, a gift bag, medal, t-shirt and cotton candy. The overall winner, 11-year-old Malia Afonso of Leamington, also earned a $100 cash prize, four hours of studio time valued at $300 donated by SLR Studios and several other gifts.

“It’s a great feeling,” Afonso said after being announced both the nine-to 12-year-old and overall winner for this year’s Idol. “I’m very happy obviously, and overwhelmed.

I was really surprised. I was caught off guard when they announced my name.”

For her studio time, Afonso plans to record a song she wrote herself dubbed Venus and Mars. Singing since the age of four, Afonso has performed with Travel Musical Theatre as part of the Lakeshore Academy of Fine Arts based in Emeryville. She described her long-term musical goals as either a career involved with radio or on Broadway. Her influences include mother Lucilia Afonso and Idina Menzel. The performing arts are common in Malia’s family, as younger sister Shaela also performs in Wheatley Idol while her mother is a drama teacher at Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School. Her grandfather teaches dance and along with Lucilia, is also involved in musical theatre.

Contestants per age category for this year’s Wheatley Idol finished as follows: • Four- and five-year-olds: Easton Gauthier (first); • Six- to eight-year-olds: Avery Neufeld (first), Shaela Afonso (second), Raelyn Gauthier (third), Chloe Imeson (fourth); • Nine- to 12-year-olds: Malia Afonso (first), Cierra Wachhaus (second), Miranda Pouget (third), Sienna Holman (fourth); • 13- to 16-year-olds: Kyle List-Greenwood (first), Danielle Greive (second), Mikaela Lagace (third), Emily Garrod (fourth); • 17 and over: Corinne Jackson (first), Brooke Gunn (second), Mereyehia Taylor (third).

At the end of the event, Wheatley BIA’s Tracy Loop and Wendy Bowman presented the Mercer’s with a gift for their efforts in organizing Wheatley Idol. The duo was backed by a team of 10 volunteers who helped put on this year’s competition.

“I thought it went really well again this year,” said Kym. “Hopefully, we’ll see more vendors in the area next year.

There were lots of prizes and the kids really seemed to like the face painting and fish pond.”

Malia Afonso sings No Good Deed in the nine- to 12-year-old division of Wheatley Idol 15 Saturday, Aug. 4 at Coulter Park.

This year’s event was the second at Coulter Park and featured 16 performers in five age categories. Afonso, 11, was the overall winner.

Easton Gauthier stepped forward as the four- and five-yearold division’s only entry of Wheatley Idol, singing You Are My Sunshine.

Wheatley’s Corrine Jackson performs Creep in the 17-and-over age category during the 15th annual Wheatley Idol. Jackson won her division.

Sienna Holman kicks off the nine- to 12-year-old division with Before He Cheats.

From left to right, Shaela Afonso, Chloe Imeson, Raelyn Gauthier and Avery Neufeld earned second, fourth, third and first place respectively in the six- to eight-year-old category for the 15th annual Wheatley Idol.

Thrills, spills at Rawhide Rodeo weekend

This youngster holds on for dear life during the mutton busting event at the Sunparlour Rodeo.

Brielle Prince, 6, practices her trick rope skills. The daughter of the owners of Rawhide Rodeo has grown up around the rodeo scene and hopes to become a competitor one day.

By Pat Bailey There were cowboys and cowgirls of all ages on the Pavao property this weekend, August 4 and 5. Whether they were competing in the ring or just taking in the 17th Annual Sunparlour Rodeo, it was a chance to show off their finest western wear.

About 5,500 people attended the rodeo and were entertained by Rawhide Rodeo clown Brinson James. They held their breath, on the edge of their seats as riders hung on for dear life in the bull riding competition, tested their precision and speed in the barrel racing and pole bending events or clung to the back of the sheep in the mutton busting competition.

For the Pavao family, it's become a summer tradition and a family affair.

Stephanie Pavao-Clark said it was a wonderful weekend.

"The turnout was great," she said, "and so was the show."

Each show included events that continue to make the rodeo so popular – bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping, junior steer riding, bull riding, pole bending, Roman riding, and mutton busting and the calf scramble for the youngsters in attendance.

Despite so many special events in the area all weekend, Pavao-Clark said she believes the uniqueness of the rodeo, coupled with the family atmosphere, continues to draw thousands annually.

Pavao-Clark said that despite the amount of work in organizing and hosting the event, it is definitely worth it in the end.

With about $375,000 raised through their previous rodeos, she said they are hoping to top the $400,000 mark when all is said and done this year.

All proceeds are donated to local charities. Pavao-Clark said the recipients of this year's event have yet to be decided.

Over the years, Pavao said they have provided funds, as well as several pieces of medical equipment, to a variety of local charities including Erie Shores Hospice and Erie Shores HealthCare.

The first rodeo was the dream of her dad, John, who along with a small committee brought that dream to life in 2001.

With about 3,000 to 4,000 attending the inaugural event, the group purchased a bladder scanner for the local hospital.

Since then the family has taken on the task of playing host to hundreds of cowboys and thousands of guests to continue the rodeo tradition and the tradition of giving back to their community.

Funds raised have helped purchase a cardiac baby monitor, a portable defibrillor, a huge financial contribution to the dialysis unit and major financial donations to W.E. Care for Kids and the Hospice of Windsor-Essex County Erie Shores Campus.

"We couldn't do it without the support of the community, the sponsors," said Pavao-Clark, "or the support of our extended family and friends."

This cowboy tries in vain to remain atop his horse in the saddle bronc riding competition but was thrown just seconds later. He was competing in Sunday’s night performance of the 17th Annual Sunparlour Rodeo, held August 4-5.

Parent wins Erie Shores Senior Men’s Invitational This year’s 39th Annual Senior Men’s Invitational on August 1 took on a special reverence, being named in honour of the late Don Nicholson who passed away earlier this year in January. Don was the chief organizer of this event for the past 35 years and his work and support are sadly missed by the many hundreds of golfers and members of Erie Shores who came to know him.

Many of Southwestern Ontario’s finest senior golfers were among the 108 players who teed it up on the Erie Shores Golf Course that, in spite of being brutally hit by a viciously prolonged hail and wind storm last Thursday, was looking handsomely manicured and in near perfect shape minus a few trees here and there, thanks to the hard work of Greens Superintendent Mike Toth and his greens-keeping staff and the many club members who also came out to help pick up so many fallen branches and sticks in the few days before this event.

A record number of 42 players managed to shoot in the 70s this year with only two players, Ken Parent and Wayne Colledge of Kingsville, actually breaking par with their one under par scores of 70. But, after a quick one-hole sudden death playoff, Parent’s birdie 3 edged out Colledge’s par 4 on the first hole to give him the Don Nicholson Memorial Trophy as the overall champion.

Erie Shores member Brian Humphreys finished next with an even par 71 that was one better than Tom Wigle who shot a one over par 72. Erie Shores golfers Neil Sawatzky, Tim Towle and Ward Hutchins, along with Rob Dench and Ken Greenwood of Beach Grove and Jim McCallum of Kingsville, all finished next with 2 over par rounds of 73.

Brad Hyatt of Talbot Trail, Rick Hebert of Beach Grove and Bill Sheldon of Pointe West all shot scores of 74, while Kevin Babkirk of Erie Shores, Scott Irwin and Joe Ivan of Ambassador, Rob Widmeyer of Pike Lake, Dennis Murphy of Pointe West and Jeff Booth all finished tied at 4 over par 75.

There was quite a log jam with 9 players finishing tied at 5 over par 76. That also included multi-time winner over the years, Mike Saffran of Ambassador, who is now 83 years old and still able to stickhandle handsomely around the Erie Shores track and shoot well under his age. Others in this

group included former winner Paul Neilson, Jerry Hatt of Talbot Trail, Todd Hodgson and Jim Sudds of Erie Shores, George Forrest of Pike Lake, Mike Stanko of Sutton Creek, Bob Damphouse and Wayne Wiseman of Kingsville.

In the Low Net Division, Larry Everaert of Kingsville had the lowest handicapped score ever recorded in this event with an incredible net 13 under par 58. That was 7 strokes better than the second best net score of 65 shot by Scott Irwin of Ambassador. Finishing another shot back with 5 under par net 66s were Joe Antal of Roseland, Dan Valade of Fox Glen, Jim Sudds of Erie Shores and Jerry Hatt of Talbot Trail.

The invitational was absolutely another great success this year and continues to be one of the top drawing senior invitational events in Southwestern Ontario, thanks to the financial support of the Friends and Sponsors of Erie Shores, a generous group of 18 members and businesses who support all of Erie Shore’s major events.

Next year’s Seniors Invitational is set to take place at Erie Shores on Wednesday, August 7 with a shotgun tee-off start at 11:00 a.m. Any male golfer of the age 50 years or over, by that date, is welcome to play. More information will be on the Erie Shores website in the spring of 2019 at www. erieshoresgolf.com

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, August 1988

A look at the past courtesy of C. Scott Holland

Frances Fee of London gazes at the final load of non-hazardous material she and seven other students hauled from Muddy Creek. The exhausting heat and biting flies were tough to contend with but about 4 tonnes of debris ranging from tires to washing machines were hauled away during the week-long cleanup. And the group still found the energy to clean up the beach to the west of Wheatley Harbour! The students wore waders in mud above their knees for a week as part of the Ministry of Environment and Ontario Ministry of Skills and Development program known as the Environmental Youth Corps.

AUGUST 13, 1991: For the 19th time, Jan Pearson (centre) won the Erie Shores Ladies Championship. She is pictured with runner-up Maxine Otton (left) and ladies president Marilyn Mee (right).

CAPTURES STEIN MEMORIAL - Jamie Hume of Leamington emerged as the winner of the 1st Annual Jack Stein Memorial Invitational golf tournament held at Talbot Trail Golf Course on Saturday. He defeated Terry Pugh of Wheatley on the first hole of a sudden death playoff to earn the trophy. Keith Stein, at right, presented Mr. Hume with the annual trophy and is displaying the trophy Jamie will retain as a permanent fixture in his trophy case.

RIGHT - AUGUST 8, 1960: Reg Mulholland Murray Mellow Leamington Police Constable Murray Mellow nabbed two criminals after a call from Glenn Bradt at a Talbot. St. E. gas station. One of the men fled, heading east. Mellow gave chase atop a train, spotted the man and then captured him. That morning the men had stolen food, booze, clothing and a truck from a Park St. home.

KINSMEN AND KINETTES INSTALL NEW OFFICERS - Pictured left to right are Kinsmen Deputy Jerry Thompson, Past President Joe Pinch, President Guy Macher, Kinette President Pat Whittle, Past President Nancy Pinch, Coordinator Cheryl Middlemist.

AUGUST 12, 1948: Ownership of one of Leamington’s landmarks changed hands when the popular tourist home Four Oaks was purchased by Capt. Arthur Flowers from Mrs. Walter Kipping. Realtor K.R. Clark said the price was $25,000. The house was originally built in 1891 by Alexander Baird.

LEFT - AUGUST 9, 1978: The Leamington Flyers named Reg Mulholland as their new head coach.

Mulholland formerly coached the Mooretown Flags for four years and had a one-year tenure with the Wheatley Omsteads of the Seaway Intermediate Hockey League.

Barons to battle for OBA title This weekend, August 10-12, the Leamington Junior Barons are off to Port Lambton to compete for the OBA Junior ‘B’ Championship.

The locals will open against Orangeville on Friday afternoon.

The event is a double knock-out format.

Teams vying for top honors are Leamington, Listowel, Orangeville, Port Dover, Port Lambton and Woodslee.

“We are new to Junior and a very young team,” says coach Chris Lamotte, “so we don’t know what to expect.”

Leamington is fielding a Junior team for the first time in 14 years. The majority of the team are graduates from the 2016 and 2017 Midget OBA ‘B’ championship teams.

“We carry a 12-man lineup so have added a few Midgets for the weekend to provide some depth,” said coach John Wall.

The Barons have a 16 win, 8 loss and 3 tied record this season.

From left to right, the team of Ward Hutchins, Ken Piper, Tim Tiessen and Brian Humphreys won the Southpoint Alumni Group Golf Classic with an incredible score of 51, 20 under par. Proceeds from the tournament help offset the cost of registration for first-year players in Southpoint Minor Hockey as well as first-year referees with their cost of starting up.

Alumni Golf Classic supports first year hockey players, referees The Southpoint Alumni Group held their 6th annual golf tournament at Erie Shores Golf and Country Club Wednesday, July 25. Great weather greeted 116 golfers for the scramble format. Organizers rescheduled the Annual Classic to July from September to see if they could get a few more golfers, and it was a success with 30 more golfers than last year.

The course was in perfect shape and many of the teams scores were low. The winning team of Ward Hutchins, Brian Humphreys, Tim Tiessen and Ken Piper shot an incredible score of 51, 20 under par.

In the skins game, there were three skins total with a two on #2 by Nick Warkentin, Ryan Harder, Spencer Nuefeld and Eric Harder. Also with twos were Richard Lowes, Mike Herbert, Andy Herring and Kyle Humphreys on #1 and #8.

Longest drive on the front nine went to Dan Schenkenburger and the back nine winner was Hayden Hodgson.

Closest to the pin winners were #3 Neil Sawatsky, #5 Brian Plumb, #13 Jim Chopchik and #16 Derrick Hutchins.

The Alumni Group will use the proceeds from this event to help first-year hockey players of any age in the Southpoint Minor Hockey system to offset the cost of their registration.

Last year they helped 50 kids, for a total of $10,000. Again this year the group will be supporting first-year referees by helping offset their cost of starting up. They will also be helping the system with clinics for the house league this coming season.

Southpoint Alumni Group thanks all of the sponsors, the businesses who donated to the prize table, the staff at Erie Shores, the volunteers and the golfers who made this a very successful day.

Duffers & Buffers hold down first spot in Thursday men’s golf It was back to the front nine again last week in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club with the team of the Duffers and Bluffers continuing to hold down first spot with 229 points, which keeps them just 5 points ahead of the Bushwhackers who are tightly holding on to second place with 224 points.

The Screwballs team is hanging in strongly in third place with a total of 212 points. That’s 12 points ahead of the Shankadelics who are sitting comfortably in fourth place with 200, and that’s 8 points better than the Crazy Chryslers who are sitting in fifth place with 192 and a good 19 points ahead of the bottom dwelling team of the Sultans of Swing at 173.

In individual play, lefty Dave Owens led the way with a super 3 under par round of 32, just one stroke better than Raoul Morin who coasted in with an impressive 2 under par game of 33.

Kevin Sawatzky, Ryan Harder, Mike Ferreira and Ward Hutchins also managed to break par with their 1 under par scores of 34, while Richard Lowes, Geoff Dunmore, Tim Tiessen and Kyle Humphreys finished the night with even par rounds of 35.

Tim Towle, Peter Neufeld, Matt Dick and Scott Wilkinson were next with one par games of 36, and that was still one better than Brian Humphreys’ one over par trip of 37.

In the handicap division, Peter Neufeld led the way with a 4 under par net 31 which is one better that the 3 under par net 32, scored by Frank Dick, Claudio Sabelli, Raoul Morin and Ralph Warkentin.

In the skins game, Paul Barnable, Dave Owens, Gary Bondy and Dylan Lowes all managed to pick up gross skins, while John Bergen, Roger Cote, Gary Bondy, John Vlodarchyk and Dylan Lowes each picked up net skins.

In the overall skins money list, Kyle Humphreys still leads the way with $77, with Greg Zimney alone in second place with $42. Ralph Warkentin is next with $39 and Bill Ruiter, Greg Zimney, John Balkwill, Ryan Peltier, John Penner, Peter Neufeld and Paul Driedger are all tied at $35.

18-hole ladies play Throw Out On a pleasantly warm and cloudy Tuesday, July 31, the Erie Shores 18-Hole Ladies League played a game called Throw Out: throw out your worst par 3, par 4 and par 5.

The Flight A winners were Lisa Sawatzky and Carol Cornies with 68. Lori Kelly was the winner of Flight B with 72 and Vi Gillett the winner of Flight C with 78.

Chip-ins were by Lisa Sawatzky on #17, Carol Cornies on #3, Lori Kelly on #7 and Vi Gillett on #6 and #12.

Dunn leads Talbot Trail seniors

Erie Shores senior men play Stapleford

By Bob McLean

After a weekend hail storm and high winds, the maintenance crew at Erie Shores Golf Club got the course back in shape for the Monday, July 30 senior men’s league. Members thank Mike Toth and crew for an excellent job clearing the debris and several downed trees.

There were 61 players playing the game Stapleford where each player, according to their handicap, had to get points.

A bogey was worth 1 point, par 2 points and birdie 4 points.

The 50/50 draw winners were Bob Park and Ron Gagne.

Closest to the pin were Bill Gherasim on #3 and Glen Rideout on #16.

Longest putts were by Don Chalcraft on #7 and Barry Miller on #17.

In first place at +20 was the team of Gord Anderson, Frank Dick, Don Mensch and Willie Krahn. Second place at +15 went to Norm Beattie, Gary Gallagher and Bob Kavanaugh. In third place at +13 were Dave Wilkinson, Lloyd Owens and Glen Rideout. In fourth place at +12 were Tom Miehl, Orest Hrynewich, Rick Metz and Peter Harb.

A total of 27 birdies were made: Bill Gherasim #1 and #12; Gary McRae #5, #11 and #14; Garth Dennerley #1 and #12; Bob Kavanuagh #2 and #9; Don Chalcraft #11; Glen Rideout #14 and #16; Wayne Wiseman, Dick Segedin and Tom Klassen #12; Gary Alderson #7; Frank Dick #16; Wayne McKeen and Carl Young #2; Norm Beattie and Dan McQueen #4; Dave Wilkinson #6; Ed Krahn #10 and #14; Matt Dinchik #9; and Barry Miller and Wayne Oehlerking #17.

Seventy Talbot Trail Golf Club’s senior men participated in their weekly league play on July 31.

Everyone has been commenting on the excellent course conditions. Derek and his workers deserve a lot of praise for their excellent work. The irrigation system certainly was a worthwhile investment for the future of this magnificent golf course.

Tom Dunn had another outstanding day of golf! He not only fired the low round of the day – a 36 – but he also drained a 25-footer to win the long putt on #2.

Placing second in the 50-69y division was smooth swinging Jerry Omstead who earned second place with his excellent 39. Third spot went to Arqy who shot a terrific 40.

Impressive 41s were shot by Jim Pearson and Dan Livingston. Some other very well played rounds fewer than 45 were shot by: Randy Nash and Herb Reid 42s; Kevin Jordan and OV 43s; Bummy and Wiz 44s. Long hitter Steve Longeway earned a solid 45. Other praiseworthy scores of 49 or less were shot by Fred Michano, Phil Humphries, Fuzzy and David Tonks.

The super seniors played some very inspiring golf. Leading the way with his very impressive 51 was Murray Cascadden. Down the Middle Dave la Bonte scored an excellent 52. Ninety-year-old Orville Ellwood had an outstanding game as he not only fired a superb 54, but also won the closest to the pin on #9. His pin-accurate shot was only 4.5 feet from the pin. Two favourites, Gerry Becigneul and Scotty Westrop, achieved very commendable results.

The 80-85y division earned some very superb scores.

Tying with excellent 46s were Ed Woelk, Tom Hyatt and Bob Freure. A mere one shot back with their own terrific 47s were Pierre Daudlin, Walter Balsam and Neil Adamson.

Andy Orsini travelled the course with a nifty 50. Mr. Putter – Erle the Pearl Nash – achieved a solid 53. Hardworking Fred Takaki merited a very praiseworthy result.

None of 70-79y participants were able to break the 40 mark; however, Dutchy and Rick Thompson led the way with excellent 40s. Bill Ward and Bobo closely followed them with impressive 41s. Steadily improving Schmitty earned a fantastic 43. Five golfers who scored very solid 44s were Doug Langlois, Tom Sasso, Mike Getty, Vic Reynaert and Al Matthews. Paul Harrison, Pat Hill and Al Matthews

scored very commendable 45s. Praiseworthy 46s were shot

by Paul Brown, Dave Dent, Al Zanuttini and Patch. Commendable 47s were merited by Bob Lee and Richard Humber. Satisfying 48s were achieved by Eugene Abbruzzese, Wayne Humber and Terry Bee. Fine 49s were produced

by Gary Honey, Ross MacKintosh and Gary Benninger. A painless nifty 50 result was shot by Jerry Paine.

League members wish to thank Dunner for arranging the Fox Glen excursion.

Golf is only a game. Sometimes we forget this! Members all have a really good time discussing our games (the good, the bad and the ugly) in the clubhouse after league play.

Pappy said it best: “Just have fun!”

Garry Mackenzie’s 1950 Ford F-47 pickup at the All-Ford Car Show in Essex. Note black-andwhite 1950 Ontario license plate.

1950 Ford pickup like new again On Friday, June 8, Garry Mackenzie of Essex arrived at the Second Annual All-Ford Car Show at the historic Essex Railway Station with two vehicles: his 1950 Ford F-47 pickup and his wife’s 1990 Mustang convertible.

Garry’s 1950 Ford pickup was built in Windsor and underwent a complete nut and bolt restoration in 2006 by Hugh Eldon of Acton.

Garry writes: “I talked to Hugh’s son, who helped his dad with the restoration and he told me his dad had passed away two years ago. Bill Sherk When the truck was finished, they drove it to Ford of Canada in Oakville for Ford Day. “He also said the truck was driven in many parades and events. His father sold the truck because he was working on a very rare 1950 Mercury truck.

“The family sold the Mercury truck after Dad passed away. It was not completed at that time and his son has no idea where it is now. He was glad I called and said he was glad to hear the Ford truck has gone to a good home. I bought it from a Mr. Rowe in Midland, Ontario, on November 2016 and picked it up in February 2017.

“Since buying it, the body has never needed repair. The paint is excellent with black fenders and running boards and blue body. The fenders and running boards are new.

“I knew the truck had some mechanical issues. A rebuilt top loader 3-speed transmission has been installed with three on the tree. I rebuilt the rear axle and steering box, new clutch, chrome bumpers and grille, and many small touches.

“The engine is fine. The truck runs and drives like new with no squeaks or rattles and we have fun driving it to the many wineries and car shows. It gets lots of attention from young and old alike.

“I am going to pick up my 94-year-old mother-in-law.

She loves riding in it and it brings back fond memories.

We will go yard sailing on happy trails. Only one thing is missing. I would like to find a factory radio for the truck.”

I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ XERXES & sympatico.ca
