LDSS 1978 Reunion: Over 180 people attended the Saturday evening dinner and dance at the Roma Club.

LDSS Lions still roar after four decades

CANADA IMMIGRATION SERVICES

Fittingly, the idea for last weekend’s Leamington District Secondary School’s 40-year reunion started over a beer between two old high school friends. Brad Frederick and Dave Neilipovitz were sitting and reminiscing about the good old days when the lightbulb came on. Their 1978 Grade 12 grad year was fast approaching its 40th anniversary.

“Maybe we should have a reunion,” said Neilipovitz.

Frederick says it took a few minutes to sink in.

“The more beer we drank, the better it sounded,” he said.

That initial seed was planted two years ago.

Fast-forward to Saturday evening’s dinner dance, and the idea came to full fruition.

Over the course of those two years, the two set up a planning committee consisting of Frederick, Neilipovitz, Michelle (Bailey) Sproat and Katherine Frederick.

Others jumped aboard to help out wherever they could and all of the hard work culminated in 185 people attending Saturday night’s main event at the Roma Club.

Before Saturday, though, the event kicked off with a pasta night at the Roma Club on Thursday, July 12 and a wine tour Friday, followed by an evening at the Leamington Marina listening to the nostalgic sounds of the Happy Together duo. The weekend was full, with a breakfast at Colasan-

ti’s on Saturday morning, followed by the big dinner dance Saturday night, July 14, and a family style picnic Sunday at Seacliff Park.

Friday’s wine tour brought back a lot of memories as former students gathered in front of the old high school and boarded an actual school bus.

Some hadn’t been on a school bus since that last day of school in June 1978.

“It was just like being in high school again, with people turned around in their seats and talking and laughing,” said Frederick.

Lianne (Wigfield) Hutchins was impressed by the amount of work put in by Frederick and his committee.

“The amount of work Brad put into this is amazing”, she said. “I spent the evening reminiscing with old friends and we picked up right where we left off 40 years ago,” she added.

And of course, to make the moment right, The Little River Band hit ‘Reminiscing’ was one of the highlight songs of the evening on Saturday.

According to Frederick, one of the most difficult parts of planning was cutting five years (1974-1978) of great music down to seven hours that could be played over the Roma Club’s sound system.

“We had hours upon hours of great music from back then,” he said.

The real highlights of the weekend came on Saturday when several (Continued on Page A-0)

Fire at TopLine Farms Causes $2.3-Million Damage

Ellen de Witt RCIC Immigration Consultant

On Saturday, July 14 at 6:20 p.m., Leamington Fire Services were called to the scene of a structure fire at TopLine Farms on Essex Rd. 18.

Loss has been estimated at $2.3-million. The suspected cause is an improperly discarded cigarette. Fire sprinklers helped contain the blaze.

Kingsville Fire Department and The Salvation Army were also on scene providing assistance.

This year The Leamington District Agricultural Society was in need of a one stop shop for printing and many different applications needed for our Fair. Specialized tags, ribbons, yard signs, passes, specialty stickers for our liquor cups, ads and more! With the help of our Rep, Mark Ribble, and the great staff at the Southpoint Sun-Journal, they created everything we needed including all the artwork.

Just by talking to them about what we envisioned, they created fabulous ads, cards… and did you see our new yard signs?

You don’t need to go to 3 or 4 places.

They are a one stop shop for everything printed.

And the best part is, they come to you.

We are a very satisfied Southpoint Sun-Journal customer. They know what customer service is!!

LDSS Lions still roar after four decades

(Continued from Front) people got up to speak and share some awesome memories.

The 1978 class president, Shirley Coyle, gave a speech and some great comedy was provided by Father Tony DelCiancio and Tony DeSantis, who spent time reading yearbook quotes aloud.

Sharon Coyle, who lives in Sept Iles Quebec, created a blog to document her trip back to her hometown for her class reunion. But she wasn’t the one who came the furthest.

Doug McClellan came all the way from Spokane, Washington to attend.

Frederick said that McLellan was a tricky one to track down.

“I had heard Doug was somewhere near Seattle at some point, so I started with the white pages in Washington and eventually got a page full of Doug McLellans,” he said.

Frederick added that of the over 300 students in that 1978 graduating class, they managed to contact 85 per cent of them.

Several students from that year have passed away and Frederick said that they tried to verify and reach out to families so they didn’t miss anyone. A memorial poster was set up with all of those students and staff who are no longer with us.

For something that would have been next to impossible to do 20 years ago, social media played a big part in tracking down students who had moved away.

“The girls were the hardest to find,” he said. “Once they married and changed their names, it became more difficult.”

Frederick said he often went to the obituaries of relatives to figure out who some of the female students had married, so he could send a message over Facebook.

He contacted as many former teachers as he could, and of those who still survive, a halfdozen of the LDSS staff from that year attended at least some of the celebrations.

“We had Mr. Hildebrandt, Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Segedin, Mr. Martens and Mr. Westlake.

One of the big highlights of the evening was the attendance of Peter Lepp, the only surviving tech teacher, according to Frederick. Mr. Lepp taught automotive class in 1978.

The hall at the Roma Club was well suited for the reunion, with an ambience that brought attendees back to 1978. From the music, to the prop photos to the jokes and laughter that followed, it was a successful night.

Saturday’s dinner was finished off with a giant 4’ x 4’ cake that was a replica of the old high school.

Katherine Frederick, with help from Helen Clark, baked 20 sheet cakes and put them all together to form the replica cake.

“We had a triple chocolate main gym, vanilla cream main hallways, lemon filled tech wing and two gluten-free portables,” said Frederick.

Helen Clark was also celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary with husband Dave, as were Laurice and Paul Tawil. The two couples both got married right out of high school and are still going strong. Meanwhile, 1978 grad Theresa Jabbour sent regrets that she couldn’t make it to the reunion because it was her wedding day.

“I offered free tickets if she and her new husband would attend, but understandably they had more important things to tend to,” Frederick said.

When the dust settled on Sunday afternoon, Frederick was joined at Seacliff Park by the hardy few who made it through the weekend and still had the energy to picnic. It provided him with an opportunity to finally put his feet up and relax.

After two years of hard work, the rest was a welcomed relief.

Boarders weigh in on new Leamington skatepark design

By Pat Bailey Rob Bondy doesn’t look like your stereotypical skateboarder.

At 47, sporting a full beard, graying hair and glasses, Bondy was front and centre last week at the design alternatives meeting for Leamington’s new skatepark.

About two dozen people attended the meeting Wednesday evening, July 11 at the Kinsmen Recreation Complex to see firsthand the three designs proposed

by Newline Skateparks.

While there were three varying designs, representatives of Newline were there to gather input from the community, and in particular, future users of the skatepark, to see if their designs met the needs and wishes of the community who will use the park to skateboard, ride their scooters or their BMX bicycles.

Designer Bill Gurney presented an overview of those designs but said they were more than willing to take a look at any suggestions or recommendations local boarders might have.

A skateboarder for several years, Bondy, who has previously taught at Car-

dinal Carter Secondary School, has become an advocate and spokesman for the skateboarding community throughout the county.

In fact, he was one of those on the original committee fighting for a skateboarding park locally.

Bondy said he felt it important to get involved when he saw young people struggling with their desire to have parks built but not knowing who to talk to and not being taken seriously by those in charge.

He has since become heavily involved with the construction of such parks throughout the area, as well as organizing competitions at these skateparks.

While Bondy preferred option number two, he offered a few suggestions of his own to improve the design to suit local needs.

Twelve-year-old Jeremy Dueck agreed with Bondy.

He, too, preferred the second option and like Bondy had a few adjustments he’d like to see made before the construction phase which is set for the fall.

“It’s long awaited,” said Dueck, who was busy filling out a feedback form handed out at the meeting. He has

been skateboarding for three or four years.

Dueck said he attended the previous meeting in May and was excited to see what the park designers had come up with.

Newline has been in the skatepark design and construction business for 17 years and is responsible for designing and constructing more than 200 skateparks across Canada and the United States.

Michael Hunter, director of operations for Newline, said they took a look at the piece of property that will become home to the new skatepark, adjacent to the Kinsmen Ball Diamonds, and based their designs on the $327,400 budget, as well as input from previous meetings to come up with three varied designs.

“We tried to put something together to meet the needs of the community,” said Hunter.

As a designer, Gurney said they were “not interested in creating a cookie cutter park”. The design is unique to Leamington based on the shape of the property, the budget and the input they had received previously from the skateboarding community.

Gurney said they plan to take the input they received from last week’s meeting and come up with a final design with construction slated for the fall.

’Tis the season to buy local

I’ve never been an overly political person and I’ve certainly spent a fair amount of time south of the border, but the more I explore my own back yard, the more I can embrace the whole ‘buy local’ thing.

As many people do, we shop occasionally on Amazon but that’s really a crap shoot. We found out the hard way recently.

A few weeks ago, we ordered a few small decorative items for our place, and as of this writing only two of them have arrived. One of them is what was described as a decorative artificial bonsai tree. Upon its arrival, we got a basic dollar store piece of plastic. In fact, I bet I’d find something of better quality at the dollar store.

Not having that item in front of you is the real drawback to shopping online.

If I think about it long enough, I really have no reason to not buy pretty much everything we need right here in Essex County.

With a plethora of produce stands along every roadside, we’re blessed right now with all of the fresh veggies and berries we want. The tree fruit won’t be far behind.

If we have a craving for fish, it’s a short drive to Wheat-

ley where we can pick just about any fresh fish we want.

When it comes to dining out, the number of restaurants here in the south end of the county are numerous.

Shopping-wise, there are choices everywhere. We do hit up the big box stores more often than we probably should, but even those big box stores employ local people who rely on them for a living.

There are shops in the uptown areas of Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley who deserve our patronage.

Of course I’ve written before, lamenting that the bustling uptown Leamington is no longer that way, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that there are quality retailers in the uptown that need our support.

And if you haven’t been to the Leamington waterfront recently, you’re missing out on something. The revamped beach area at Seacliff Park and the new pedestrian plaza on the old dock are both sights to behold.

Just about any night of the week, you can be entertained by a variety of local musicians who play the circuit between Seacliff Park, the marina and Two Creeks Conservation Area in Wheatley.

We have a great market at the fairgrounds with lots of

great food and handmade crafts available, and a soon-to-beready Bank Mark Ribble Theatre that will be a centrepiece of the downtown rejuvenation. Wheatley’s Fish Fest and Leamington’s Hogs for Hospice are around the corner, as is Kingsville’s Folk Music Festival.

Next week, we will publish our first Go Local section since 2011. We hope it will be an annual thing going forward. We also hope it highlights some of the local businesses who want our readers to know that they can get what they need right here in this area, without the border hassle.

I encourage you to go out and explore all that South Essex has to offer. You’ll be pleasantly surprised and you’ll feel even better about spending your hard earned dollars locally.

14th Annual Show features vintage farm equipment Have you ever heard of the East Kent Vintage Equipment Club?

If not, let’s look at this Kim Cooper group, which operates out of the Ridgetown area.

The East Kent Vintage Equipment Club was started in 2004 by a group of antique tractor enthusiasts. Their mission statement is “Preserving Our Agricultural Heritage for Education and Recreation.” They do this through a number of events they host, including their Annual Tractor Drive, Annual Plow Day, Annual Potluck Supper, as well as participating in local parades and community events.

The main event this group hosts is their Annual Show and this year will be their 14th annual event. The original idea on their first show in 2005 was to feature Allis Chalmers tractors and equipment. Every year since, the club has featured a different make of tractor. This year their feature will be CASE tractors, equipment and gas engines.

Their show is a great place to meet with other antique farm equipment enthusiasts and view their collections. It

also helps educate yourself and your family about farming heritage, enjoy some country music and home cooking.

Their show has grown dramatically every year with more exhibitors, vendors, spectators, demonstrations and events.

The 14th Annual Show will be taking place, as always, on the Civic Day weekend (August 4-5 this year) at the Ridgetown Fairgrounds, right near the Ridgetown Arena.

There are many highlights that take place at this show, including children’s activities, demonstrations on vintage threshing, harvest and plowing, demonstrations on vintage machinery and sawmill work, steam engine sweet corn, food booths, vendors, a vintage car display, the Ridgetown District Ag Society Ambassador Contest, a parade, a tractor pull, a Saturday night pig roast and so much more. There are so many activities packed into these two days.

The East Kent Vintage Equipment Club members are antique tractor enthusiasts who enjoy collecting, restoring and showing antique farm equipment. If this interests you, they are always looking for more members. For more information on this club and their Annual Show, check their website at www.ekvec.net Just some food for thought.

Wednesday, July 18, 2018

Editor, Thanks for the outreach editorial calling for the community to come together to take some action after the recent senseless violent beating of a vulnerable young citizen.

As a volunteer community advocate, I have been working with others in our community for many years to raise awareness of the impact addiction is having on our families.

Each person with an addiction has a family and every person in that family is affected throughout a lifetime. Addiction fuels violence, theft, crime, broken families and more.

Just as it takes a village to raise a healthy child, it takes a village to create a safer and healthier community.

Since your heartfelt article appeared, many people have been reaching out to our organization in real pain; parents trying to get help for loved ones with mental health and addictions issues.

South Shore Recovery has been advocating for people since 2015 and we need help. The ESC LHIN has advised us our model is not sustainable and we are ready to agree.

But we are also asking: what model is sustainable, who is

working on it and when is change going to happen?

What we have now is a fractured system of care that is not responsive and not working. Money is not the only issue holding back change; working together as willing partners across community sectors with willing, passionate creative leaders costs nothing.

Someone advised me recently: “I am perilously close to starting a violent protest outside the MPPs office.” We have agreed we will invite the MPP and those responsible for local planning to attend a community action meeting to hear the stories of what is not working and find some people willing to work together on a community action plan with the goal of creating a safer and healthier community.

So let’s make “Leamington Strong”; safer and healthier through community action. Anyone interested in participating in this event please call South Shore Recovery 519-9902530.

– Roberta Jarecsni Board Chair, South Shore Recovery Leamington

Cyclists not obeying rules of the road Editor, According to the Municipality of Leamington website, bicycle safety rules in Leamington are in accord with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Here is a portion of that Act: Rules of the Road As a cyclist, you must share the road with others (e.g., cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc.).

Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is a vehicle, just like a car or truck.

Cyclists • must obey all traffic laws • have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers • cannot carry passengers - if your bicycle is only meant for one person Riding on the right • You must stay as close to the right edge of the road whenever possible, especially if

you’re slower than other traffic.

Where you can ride You can ride on most roads, except: • controlled access highways, such as Ontario’s 400-series highways • across a road within a pedestrian crossover you must walk your bike to the other side

I would like to have highlighted and detailed the ones that are broken every day here, but suffice it to say local riders: • do not ride on the road • do not signal turns and stops • ride across pedestrian crossings (when they’re not zigzagging between vehicles stopped for the light) And the scariest part is that O.P.P. officers who

work here don’t seem to know these rules either.

It might save even one cyclist from injury or worse if the above portion of the Act were to be drawn to the attention of the public. Please don’t think this is directed at only the agricultural workers because many of them ride legally in singe file on the right-hand side of the roads (though not in town).

However, many, if not all, of the cycling citizens of this town set a terrible example for how to ride correctly and safely.

Highbury crosswalk focus of $8,800 study

By Mike Thibodeau Leamington Municipal Council in May vetoed a proposal to place bicycle lane markings and redesign traffic flow on a section of Erie St. South.

But it still hasn’t come up with a decision on what to do for a pedestrian crossing in front of the Highbury Canco buildings.

To resolve it, Council has decided to have the consultant, RC Spencer, do a traffic study at a cost of $8,800.

But at last week’s Council meeting (July 9), at least two councillors were not convinced the problem is the town’s.

“Why is Highbury not doing it, to me it is their issue... we have said they should cross at the intersection (Oak and Erie),” said Councillor John Jacobs.

Councillor Tim Wilkinson also said workers should “go to the intersection.”

Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald said the town really didn’t have any choice. And MacDonald noted there has already been one fatality there recently.

“We put in a crosswalk or we block off the street,” she said, that is install a barrier so pedestrians cannot cross in mid-block.

At the moment there is a “courtesy crosswalk” marked on the street that some employees use to move between Highbury buildings.

If the bike lanes had gone ahead, then the road would have been converted to two-lane traffic with a centre turn lane and a pedestrian crossing at Highbury at a cost of about $60,000. But if the traffic remains at fourlanes then the provincial regulations say a fullblown red-green light crossing must be built at over $300,000.

Administrator Peter Neufeld said that one of the recommendations that Spencer may make is reducing the four-lanes to two lanes to Georgia St.

Mill St. rebuild “vital”; Council OKs $1.9M cost

By Mike Thidodeau The cost of the streetscaping and improvements for Mill St. West have almost doubled but Leamington councillors are convinced it is a vital move in downtown revitalization.

Last week (July 9), Council approved a tender for the rebuilding at $2.9 million, against a first estimate of about $1.6 million. The work is the complete update of Mill between Fox and Erie, a streetscape with lighting, trees, benches, sewer and waterlines.

There were only two submissions and the contract went to J&J Lepera Infrastructure.

Council learned that one of the major cost additions is the need to rebuild a sewer line that actually runs north to serve businesses along Talbot at $360,000. And the sewer pipes on Mill are thought to be about 100 years old.

Council was also told that the $1.3-million in additional costs will come from surpluses in sewer and water accounts.

That was important to Councillor John Jacobs, who noted it had “no impact on taxes.” He added the project was “important for downtown revitalization.”

Initially, Councillor Larry Verbeke said he couldn’t support the project “because of the overcharges.”

Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald said the project shows the town is serious about uptown revitalization. “We can’t chicken out… we’re in danger of losing our downtown if we don’t do something,” she said.

She also noted that $600,000 of the project is coming from senior governments that “we would not otherwise get.”

Mayor John Paterson said he could “attest to some of the (sewer) issues” in the Mill St. area in recent years.

He said the idea is to make “this a showpiece”.

Because the area is serviced with a combined sewer, property owners will face a cost for the new separated sewers which engineering project manager Alex Del Brocco estimated at about $6,400 each.

He said the town will be notifying the businesses of the project and contacting them throughout the construction.

Work is not expected to start until mid-August with a 70day completion estimate and anticipated end date of November 16.

Commemorative War of 1812 Plaque Dedicated at Mersea Park

The Leamington Mersea Historical Society hosted a special dedication on Monday, July 16 of a plaque commemorating the deadliest battle on Essex County soil which occurred in July 1814 at Sturgeon Creek and resulted in the death of nine soldiers from the 28th Kentucky Infantry. Chief John Naudee of Walpole led the Point Pelee Ojibwa against an American patrol ship and food raiding party in the battle. It was the final battle and loss of U.S. life on Canadian soil during the War of 1812. Above, Ontario historian on the War of 1812, Marvin Recker (left) joined Historical Society Vice President and Leamington Councillor Larry Verbeke, Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald and Councillor John Hammond during the unveiling of the new plaque in Mersea Park.

On Wednesday, July 25 at 11 a.m., Discover Q-BA-MAZE will take place at the Leamington branch, with colourful interlocking cubes to form marble runs. Events for youths at the Leamington Library will be held intermittently, as the branch is currently transitioning into its temporary location on Erie Street South at the former Hakim Optical building. Remodeling construction at the old site will likely begin in August of this year and take about eight months to complete. (Sun-Journal Photo)

“See You in September” Sunday, July 22, we believe, is the last regular service to be TALBOT STREET held at the Talbot Street Community United Church for this AND EAST OF summer. The service is at 9:30 TOWN a.m. with Eric Skillings in the Shelley Craig pulpit welcoming everybody.

Sunday, July 29 we are all invited to the Service in the Park at North Buxton at 10:30 a.m. The Friends of Buxton Male Choir will provide the music. A barbecue will follow the service. If you’re able, please bring either a salad OR a dessert potluck and your lawn chair. Everyone welcome at 10:30 am.

There will be no regular services at Talbot Street Church till September.

As that old song goes, “See You in September”.

Please think of the clients at the Wheatley Churches Food Bank over the summer.

Renee Craig has returned home to Edmonton after helping out on the home front and also enjoying many good times and memories at the 40th year reunion of her grade 12 graduation class from Leamington District Secondary School.

Let us keep in our prayers our friends Dorothy Schoof, Jamie Armstrong, Florence, Jon, Tom and Terry Shanks.

We are all thankful out here for one recent small miracle answer to many prayers.

In a future column I’ll tell you about the unusual fellow that our visiting daughter Renee came across on the beach nearby, as well the fantastic Windsor International Writers Conference that I attended recently. Several attendees were international news columnists/commentators who had true, work-related, spine-tingling tales to tell.

Pictured from left, students and artists Abbi Neufeld, Zyrus Tanada and Nataya Szatori decorate the Gator rocks.

Wayne Brown with Edsel contest banner and their 1958 Edsel Pacer 2-door hardtop.

1958 Edsel at Essex Railway Station When Bill Gay and I were promoting the 2nd Annual All-Ford Car Show at the historic Essex Railway Station on Friday, June 8, we were hoping that one of the cars to show up would be an Edsel.

The big day arrived for the car show and our prayers were an- Bill Sherk swered. Wayne and Joan Brown of Wheatley rolled up in their beautiful 3-tone 1958 Edsel Pacer 2-door hardtop with wide whitewalls and sparkling chrome.

The roof is black, the body is coral, and the inserts on the rear fenders are white. Add to that a dazzling continental kit and you have a car that the Queen of England would be proud to ride in.

This was the car launched by the Ford Motor Company in September 1957 to compete with other cars in the medium-price field.

Copies of a banner were recently discovered in uptown Leamington advertising a contest in which the first prize was a brand new 1959 Edsel.

Wayne showed me the banner for the 1959 Edsel contest proudly displayed in the back seat of his ’58 Edsel.

It came with the car. He held it up while I snapped his picture beside the car.

Wayne and Joan purchased their Edsel in October 2017 from local resident Curly Clark, who owned it for at least 25 years and gave it a body-off restoration. He bought it from Jerry Foster, who imported it from California. Curly is now in a retirement home in Chatham, and Wayne and Joan plan to visit him and take him for a ride. They love the car!

Exciting features on this Edsel include “TeleTouch Drive”, an automatic transmission with pushbuttons mounted in the hub of the steering wheel. Another feature is the rotating drum speedometer.

Under the hood of the Browns’ Edsel is a 361 cubic inch V8 engine with 303 horsepower. It’s an early production Edsel with cable-operated windshield wipers.

Later models had rods for wiper action.

A recession in 1958 cut into Edsel sales and production was finally discontinued in the fall of 1959, when only a few 1960 Edsels were built. Every Edsel is highly collectible today. Its name comes from Henry Ford’s only son, Edsel.

Chatham-Kent Public Library Wheatley branch librarian Claudette Sykes reads “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” to a group of more than 20 young visitors during the “Teddy Bear Picnic” event Thursday, July 12. This year’s TD Summer Reading Club program began Thursday, July 5 and features a different event each week until the End of Summer Party at Wheatley Area Arena Tuesday, Aug. 14.

ABOVE: Visitors to the “Teddy Bears Picnic” event create polar bear crafts.

Reading Club program underway

By Bryan Jessop The Chatham-Kent Public Library is once again out to prove that for local youths, hitting the books isn’t only a September to June activity.

The Wheatley location is one of several CKPL branches across the municipality to offer the TD Summer Reading Club for 2018, a series of weekly activities sponsored by TD Bank to promote literacy throughout the dog days of summer. The series of seven consecutive weekly gatherings kicked off in Wheatley Thursday, July 5 with Boom Boom Pow! — a rare opportunity to make some noise at the library through the creation of musical instruments.

The program continued precisely a week later with the “Ted“If the kids aren’t dy Bear Picnic” on July 12 and will carry on for the followreading through the ing Thursdays with Pirates and Mermaids, the Stinky Cheese summer months, they can lose some of their Party, Up, Up and Away and Build with the Three Little Pigs literacy skills.” before wrapping up Tuesday, Aug. 14 with the End of Summer — Claudette Party at the Wheatley Area Arena.

Each week’s schedule includes story sessions and games, crafts and other activities including free draws for prizes. Last week, the 23 participating youths were treated to free popsicles courtesy of L’il Hill’s Coffee Shop. TD Bank has sponsored the program across Canada for the past several years, providing the funding required for materials used from week to week at participating libraries.

He said no one needs to feel intimidated at his shop; they welcome newcomers with open arms and are always willing to share their experience with anyone interested in learning the ropes.

And he said they are always looking for more players.

clubs and organizations make donations to provide prizes at the local CKPL branch as well as end of summer event snacks.

Chatham-Kent’s most southern and western branch kicked off the 2018 TD Summer Reading Club with about a dozen kids for Boom Boom Pow — a turnout that was doubled the following week. The number of youths attending each week varies, depending largely on the participation of the Wheatley Area Arena-based Tilbury Tots daycare program. Supervisors and registered youths from Wheatley’s Tilbury Tots make the journey to and from the library by foot each week when weather conditions and temperatures permit.

In public libraries across the country, the TD Summer Reading Club is utilized through a partnership with Library and Archives Canada and development by the Toronto Public Library with TD as the title sponsor. The program is offered by more than 2,000 public libraries across Canada.

“The main purpose is to get them to continue reading,” explained Wheatley librarian Claudette Sykes. “If the kids aren’t reading through the summer months, they can lose some of their literacy skills.”

For more information on the program’s local schedule, contact the Wheatley library at 519-825-7131 or visit the website www.ckpl.ca/kids.

Junior program thriving at Talbot Trail

Mavis Shanks offers some insight on putting to one of the Talbot Trail Golf Course Junior Golf program members Wednesday, July 11.

By Bryan Jessop Some local sports have seen diminished numbers of youth involvement in recent years, but golf doesn’t appear to be one of them.

The 2018 junior golf program kicked off at Talbot Trail Golf Club earlier this month, where it was greeted by 93 students ranging from five to 16 years of age. Although most of the youths are boys and girls hailing from the Wheatley area, others are making the weekly trek from Leamington, Kingsville, Tilbury, Essex and a handful from Windsor. The program is being led by Samantha Williams with the assistance of volunteers who guide junior golfers through different stations that focus on the fundamentals of various aspects of the game including driving, chipping and putting.

Williams first took the helm of Talbot Trail’s junior golf sessions about 10 years ago. She is returning this year upon moving back to “We want them the area after living in St. to have fun instead Thomas for about three of just sending them out there to tear years. Like many Talbot up the course.”

Trail regulars and mem— Samantha bers, she was a junior golfWilliams er herself at the Wheatley facility.

The youths’ program has operated out of Talbot Trail for more than 30 years and has established itself as one of the premier series of its kind

among local courses.

“A lot of places don’t have big junior programs. We’re one of the bigger players when it comes to it,” explained Talbot Trail golf pro Caleb Pratt.

Williams was a junior golfer at the Wheatley course when the system was being led by her mother Mavis Shanks, who is now one of the volunteers directing one of its stations.

Presently, two of her own children are enrolled in the program, which runs an eight-week schedule. The first half of the junior season officially got underway July 4 and will continue with the mechanics, fundamentals and etiquette of the sport until July 25.

At that point, the instructional portion of the schedule (Continued on B-2)

will conclude with a scramble where students are not divided by age or experience categories. Williams noted that the opportunity will allow younger golfers to learn parts of the game firsthand from their elder junior counterparts. In the meantime, the youngest group — dubbed the “Little Rippers” — are learning golf through a series of games and activities relating to the sport.

“We want them to have fun instead of just sending them out there to tear up the course,” Williams explained. “We want this to be as fun for them as possible. The feedback has been predominantly positive, both from parents who want to see their kids learn the rules and from club members who like to see more time with the course open.”

The second half of the junior golf program will divide the group of nearly 100 students into divisions playing either three, five or nine-hole rounds starting Wednesday, Aug. 1. An age group of 13 and over will enroll in the nine-hole sessions while the remaining youths will be arranged as 10- to 12-year-olds and nine and under for the five- and three-hole categories. Volunteer station leaders will remain with the students for rules and to offer guidance.

Prizes will be awarded at the end of the eight sessions on Wednesday, Aug. 22, which will feature a club championship.

Miracle in Thailand Finally, a strange and harrowing incident garnering worldwide attention has ended on a happy note.

This particular story involves a sports team.

No, the Habs have not yet found a taker for Bryan Jessop Max Pacioretty (fingers crossed that San Jose takes the plunge). After spending 18 tense days trapped in a cave with the only way in or out blocked by flooding, a Thai boys’ soccer team and their coach have been rescued by divers.

It was one of those stories that captured the entire world’s attention. Thanks to the bravery and expertise of the nation’s Navy SEALs and other seasoned divers from across the globe (including one Canadian), a dozen pairs of parents are breathing the ultimate sigh of relief.

In case you haven’t heard, the coach of the Wild Boars soccer team decided to take the players on what was meant to be a brief cave exploring adventure near the country’s northern border. It should have been uneventful enough, but the heavy monsoon rains known to the east Asian state came far earlier than usual, thus raising water levels to the point where the exit was blocked off. The group of a dozen 11- to 14-year-olds and their 25-year-old coach was left stranded on an elevated stretch of the cave’s interior about 4 km from their entry point.

As far as I know, the spelunking venture (to this day, I have no idea why cave exploration gets its own name while other forms of nature investigation do not) was intended to be a sort of team building exercise. Forming an off field/rink/court bond with teammates usually pays off to at least some extent come game day.

While some are quick to criticize the coach for sending his players out on what turned out to be a life-threatening excursion, nobody could have seen those floodwaters coming that early in the year. Here in Canada, organizing such a thing would be completely out of the question without the prior signing of permission forms from parents/legal guardians. I often think that the mountains of paperwork and red tape that have to be navigated before getting anything done in this country is ridiculous, but once in a rare while, it comes in handy. If those parents had known their kids were going spelunking (still think that’s an odd word) after practice, there could have been less time spent on the search and more spent on the rescue. Instead, nine days passed before a couple British divers discovered them.

As it turned out, the two-and-a-half week moment of tension WAS the ultimate team building experience. The coach managed to keep the boys from panicking or giving up on their ultimate survival and in fact instilled an atmosphere of optimism that many of us imagined would have been unattainable. When I first heard of the predicament shortly after it began June 23, my mind shifted to the Chilean mining incident in mid 2010. If you’ll recall, that accident left 33 miners trapped underground for 69 days. It too morphed into incredible displays of teamwork, both among the miners themselves and the international efforts to rescue them.

JESSOP’S JOURNAL

Once in a rare while, it’s a good thing when history repeats itself.

I honestly feared the worst with the Thailand incident. After draining water from the cave didn’t turn out as planned, I heard that the team was going to undergo a crash course in diving before heading through the dark, muddy waters in search of the way back out. Sure, they were each accompanied by two expert divers, but imagine trying to maintain your composure when you’re crawling/swimming through a VERY tight space with little or no light while embarking upon a tremendously hazardous activity (diving) with virtually no prior experience. This was not a venture for the faint of heart (or the claustrophobic).

I’ve got to hand it to rescuers and rescuees alike — the entire procedure took guts. Like all good leaders tend to do, the coach willfully allowed all others to be led to safety before taking his turn. From what I’ve heard, he also gave the players his share of what little food they had with them. The whole thing took nerves of steel for everyone involved and sadly, the process claimed the life of a former Thai Navy SEAL who ran out of oxygen.

The term “true heroes” isn’t one that should be thrown around on a whim, but it certainly applies here.

In what turned out to be a bit of a public relations gaffe, FIFA announced that the Wild Boars would be invited to attend the World Cup final free of charge if they managed to escape from the cave in time. At that moment, we were looking at a very unstable “if.” Even though the kids were rescued with four days to spare before France and Croatia went head to head for worldwide soccer glory, attending the big match was never really an option.

Doctors erred on the side of caution (the good ones usually seem to do that) and insisted that the kids remain in hospital for several days to ensure they were okay and to avoid the spreading of any possible infections. It was a nice gesture — just not thought out very well.

Anyway, after the hospital visits are over and the kids are finally reunited with their parents, I wonder if they’ll once again hit the pitch as a soccer team. Personally, I hope they do. If I had experienced the same ordeal, you’d never be able to drag me into another cave for the rest of my life, kicking and screaming or otherwise. However, the chance to keep enjoying the very pastime that brought that group of individuals together in the first place would be welcomed with open arms.

In the face of tragedy and uncertainty, people within the world of organized sport do tend to pull off some impressive accomplishments. The Humboldt Broncos’ Ryan Straschnitzki recently returned home from Philadelphia for spinal treatment after being paralyzed by the April bus crash in rural Saskatchewan. The recovery process has been remarkable thus far.

While in Pennsylvania, he was able to meet members of the Philadelphia Flyers and was treated to a Phillies game.

It’s interesting (and heartwarming) how athletes tend to rally behind one another.

Scoop Epplett drains long putt in Talbot Trail senior golfers in action

By Bob McLean Sixty-four seniors league members participated on Tuesday, July 10 at Talbot Trail Golf Club. The weather and course conditions were both excellent.

Scoop Epplett drained a miraculous 20.5-foot putt on #2 to earn the long putt victory. Bobo’s shot to within 9 feet of the pin on #9 won him the closest to the pin.

In the 50-69y grouping, Tom Dunn played another excellent game as he fired a low round of 38. Terrific 39s were shot by both Jim Pearson and Dan Livingston. Steve Longeway had another excellent game as he shot a 41. Both Arkey and Randy Nash produced brilliant scores of 42. Three players who achieved solid 43s were Kevin Jordan, Herb Reid and Phil Humphries. Dave Clark came in with a solid 44. Two players who scored very commendable 45s were Wiz and Bummy. Other players who shot less than 50 were Howard Mulrain, Fred Michano and John Liddell with 48s and Dave Tonks 49.

Several players in the 70-79y division were able to fire impressive scores of 39. Congratulations to Bill Ward and Al Matthews on their superb play. Five players who

achieved terrific 43s were Doug Langlois, Schmidty, Mike Wright, Gary Honey, and Paul Brown. Joe Vertel and Mike Getty played very well to achieve solid 45s.

Others who broke 50 were: Bobo 46; Patch, Ray la Pierre and Paul Harrison 47s; Scoop, Gary Benninger and Richard Humber 48s; Dave Dent 49. Four players who achieved praiseworthy nifty 50 results were Ross MacKintosh, Mac Hyatt, Larry Haggitt and Wayne Humber. Noteworthy results were also produced by Al Zanuttini, Conrad Babkirk, Ron Steingart, Bob Lee, Larry Hillman and Reg Flewelling.

The 80-85y division was led by Neil Adamson who, once again, fired an outstanding score of 43. Both Bob Freure and Tom Hyatt played superbly as they achieved very commendable 46s. Walter Balsam and Pete Daudlin shot noteworthy scores of 47 and 49 respectively. Others who played well were Ed Woelk, Bill Edwards, Fred Takaki and Erle Nash.

The league’s super seniors were led by straight shooter Dave La Bonte, who came in with an excellent 49. Gerry Becigneul, Murray Cacadden and Orville Ellwood also played inspiring golf.

Members had a good time on the travel excursion to Deer Run and thank Jim Omstead for organizing this trip. An excursion to Fox Glen is being organized for August.

Remember, seniors, if I make you too old in the articles, it’s because you seem so wise. If I make you younger than you are, it’s because you act so young. Oh well – if these two excuses didn’t work…. By the way, Randy Nash and Kevin Jordan are very young guys.

Barons upset Windsor Hawks The Leamington Junior Barons doubled up on the Windsor Hawks last Tuesday, beating the top ranked team 6-3 in Southwestern Junior league play.

Bouncing back from two losses to the Hawks earlier in the season, the Barons scored three runs in the second and third inning on their way to the victory.

In the second inning, Brandon Teichroeb led off with a long double to right centre field. Lucas Lamotte walked and Kyle Wall hit in to a fielder’s choice scoring Teichroeb.

DJ Wales then singled and Joe Funkenhauser doubled, scoring Wall. Wales then plated on an Andrew Klein sacrifice fly.

In the third stanza, Kameron Wall and Anthony Fehr singled and both scored on a Teichroeb triple, who then scored on a clutch two out Wales single.

Kameron Wall started on the mound and earned the win, while Lamotte pitched the last three innings to record the save.

The duo combined to strike out 8 and give up 8 hits.

The next Baron home games are Friday, July 20 when they host Woodslee at 7 p.m., Saturday, July 21 when London West visits for a doubleheader at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and Tuesday, July 24 when Essex comes to town for a 7 p.m. contest.

U11 Wildcats vs. Essex On July 10, the U11 Wheatley Wildcats, sponsored by Ives Insurance Brokers, took on Essex at home. Essex took the win 4-2. Wildcats goals were scored by Dylan Konrad and Colton Selwood. Pictured, Dylan Konrad gets ready to make a pass during the game.

Mosquito Minors tournament champs in hometown tourney Over the weekend the Leamington Lakers Mosquito Minors hosted and participated in the Leamington Minor Baseball Association Tournament in the Tomato Capital.

In game one of the round robin, the Lakers played a tough Sarnia Braves team to begin the tournament.

In the first inning, the Lakers got their offense started scoring on a stolen base and a single during Matthew Giesbrecht’s at-bat. Carter Chorba led things off on the mound for the Lakers. He surrendered one run on one hit over three and a third innings, striking out four. Joshua Joseph went 2-for-2 at the plate to lead the Lakers in hits while Grant Symons led the team with three stolen bases. The Lakers prevailed with a 7-4 victory over the Braves.

In game two of the tourney, the Lakers watched the game slip away early and could not recover in a 10-4 loss to the Essex Yellow Jackets. Christopher Joseph led things off on the pitcher’s mound, throwing two innings, allowing three hits and four runs while striking out two and walking zero.

Zack Liebrock and Kurtis Joseph entered the game from the bullpen, throwing three innings and two innings respectively. Giesbrecht led the Lakers with two hits in three at bats.

In game three, the Lakers coasted to an easy 13-4 victory over the Newmarket Hawks. The Lakers notched six runs in the third inning. The offensive onslaught came from singles

by Noah Friesen, Max Carr, Owen Deneau and Rhys Tipper.

Symons led things off on the pitcher’s mound, allowing two hits and two runs over one inning, striking out three. Chorba went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the Lakers in hits. Kurtis Joesph led the way with two stolen bases.

After round robin play, the Lakers finished with two wins and one loss, securing second place and a ticket to the semifinals.

During the semi-final game, the Lakers had everything working. The Lakers got things moving in the second inning when Carr drove in one when he singled. The Lakers tallied five runs in the third inning with triples by Chorba and Symons and singles by Trent Szorvas and Joshua Joseph.

Kurtis Joseph earned the win on the mound for the Lakers going three innings, allowing zero runs on two hits and striking out five.

The big 10-4 win over the Braves in the semi-final game punched the Lakers’ ticket to the championship final against a familiar Tecumseh Rangers opponent.

The Lakers carried their hot bats and stellar defence into the championship, opening up the scoring in the first inning when Symons grounded out, scoring one run. Chorba was on the mound for the Lakers. He went four innings, allowing one run on one hit and striking out four.

The Lakers collected another 15 hits in the game. Carr, Chorba and J. Joseph collected multiple hits, while Tipper and Deneau had clutch hits, driving in multiple runs. The Lakers coasted to an easy 15-1 victory over the Rangers to claim the tournament champs title.

Community support reeled in by Walleye Derby

By Bryan Jessop Waiting until the last possible minute paid off in grand style for one entry in the annual Leamington Walleye Derby.

Actually, it paid off to the tune of well over a grand.

Fourteen-year-old Dylan Gignac of Amherstburg brought in the very last of hundreds of fish to be measured for a shot at the event’s grand prize of $1,350. With one minute to go before the deadline at the measurement tent, Gignac’s submission of 29.125” took the top spot over a 28.75” entry

by Wheatley’s Glen Lamb that stood as the competition’s leader for most of the day.

Eight of the derby’s Top 10 finishers hailed from either Windsor-Essex or Wheatley, with the remaining two cash winners having made the trip from Lexington, Ohio and Kitchener, Ont. The top fish measured three quarters of an inch shorter than last year’s biggest walleye.

“It was a busy day out there — just not many really big ones,” explained Kingsville Lions Club member Dan Nowlan, who was one of a handful of volunteers who manned the measurement table.

Fourteen-year-old Dylan Gignac of Amherstburg (front row, left) won the grand prize of $1,350 with a last-minute entry measuring were as follows: 29.125”. His fish, the final one to be measured, dethroned a 28.75” catch by Wheatley’s Glen Lamb (second from right, back row).

Before filled out survey cards were collected, many participants offered feedback on the derby vocally.

“I’ve been in a lot of fishing derbies, but this one is the best I’ve ever known,” said Jim Jeffs of Amherstburg, who took part in the Leamington Walleye Derby for the second time. “They should be very proud of this.

I won’t miss another one.”

For Leamington Marina staff including manager Ronan Oliver, the day began at about 3 a.m. Oliver noted that the line-up to use the boat launch began forming at about 3:30 a.m. for 4 a.m. starts.

“It’s been a wonderful and successful day,” Oliver said after the final measurements for the second of two flights were taken.

Although a date has not yet been set for the sixth annual event, a different weekend for the next derby is possible. For updates, check the website www. leamington.ca/en/discover/ marina.asp.

Citizens wishing for more information, or wishing to file an objection to the exemption are asked to call Paul Lacina, C.B.O., Director, Building Development Services at 519-360-1998 ext 3242.

August 15, 2018 Town of Kingsville Council Chambers, 2021 Division Road N, Kingsville, ON 2:00 to 8:00 pm

A location map is not provided with this notice, as the Official Plan Review applies to all lands within the corporation limits of the Town of Kingsville.

Purpose: The Official Plan is a statement of goals, objectives and policies intended to guide future land use, physical development, and growth within the boundaries of the Town of Kingsville. The policies of the Plan are designed to promote the public interest in the future development of the Town, reduce uncertainty relating to future development, and to provide a basis for the Zoning By-law and other land use controls.

The newspaper keeps you informed, inspired and in touch.

From local headlines to entertainment and sports, good news is in the bag!

Ontario’s Planning Act requires municipalities to conduct an Official Plan Review every five years.

The Town’s current Official Plan was approved in February 2012. Based on the requirements of the Planning Act, it is now time to update the Official Plan to ensure that the polices of the Plan are consistent with the latest Provincial policies, the County of Essex Official Plan, and other various planning studies and strategies that have been completed by the Town since the current Official Plan was approved. The focus of this scoped Official Plan Review is to primarily address matters of Provincial and County policy conformity.

Public Open House: The purpose of the Public Open House is to provide the public an informal opportunity to review and ask questions of Town staff and the consultants, WSP Canada Group Limited, regarding the Draft Issues and Policy Directions Report, and identify additional planning issues that should be addressed through the Official Plan Review. The Public Open House will include display materials and the project team will be available to answer questions.

Next Steps: A Statutory Public Open House and a Statutory Public Meeting regarding a final recommended Official Plan Amendment will be held separately at a later date.

Once the Amendment is adopted by the Town of Kingsville, it will be forwarded to the County of Essex for final approval.

Armando’s girls win, lose A big game was played on Friday, July 6 as two Leamington Intermediate girls baseball teams faced off against each other. In the end, Armando’s Pizza defeated Sunbrite 13-7.

Tara Tiessen and Elise Stammler went 3 for 4 and 2 for 3 respectively, each with a homerun.

Other notables: Danika Romanyk, Jayden Marentette, Mila Pereira and Emma Hamilton all went 2 for 3.

Mila and Elise pitched a strong game to shutdown the Sunbrite squad.

The Armando’s Intermediate girls winning ways came to an end on Tuesday, July 10 when an experienced Harrow team came to Leamington and handed the girls their fourth loss of the season 15-11.

One tough inning defensively, combined with cold bats during the first three innings, proved to be too much. The bats did heat up though, but not enough as the local team fell just short of a comeback rally.

The girls were led by Olivia Derbyshire’s 4 for 4 day at the plate, with two no doubt homeruns.

Danika Romanyk continued with her hot bat going 3 for 3, and Jayden Marentette had another solid day at the dish going 3 for 4 with a double.

Other notables: Makenna Wall played a stellar game in centrefield covering lots of ground to limit the Harrow team’s bases and Tara Tiessen hit a big homerun to left centrefield, travelling an estimated at 310 feet.

Emma Hamilton and Elise Stammler pitched well in the defeat.

The girls are now 6 and 4 on the season, going for their seventh win in the final game of the regular season on Friday, July 20.

U11 Wheatley Wildcats vs. Tilbury Storm On July 9, the Wheatley U11 Wildcats soccer team travelled to Tilbury to take on the U11 Storm. The Storm came out quickly with an early hard shot and was able to get one in the back of the Wildcats’ net. The Wildcats turned up the heat and took the win 5-1. The Wildcats had a very balanced offence, with five players putting points on the board: Jack Thomas, Chase Simpson, Colton Selwood, Isobel Williams and Kaleb Jardm.

Great goaltending was displayed by Alek Terron. Pictured, Colton Selwood (right) of the Wildcats battles for the ball vs.

Erie Shores Hospice, is a 10 bed facility that hosts families and their loved ones in South Essex County, dealing with end of life circumstances. Their vision is to be an oasis of peace, comfort and trust supporting the whole person with respect, compassion and empathy.

Since its opening in 2016, all programs and services at the Erie Shores Hospice are provided at no cost to patients and families. We rely on the generosity of people in South Essex County to support our operating expenses, so that every person has access to outstanding care when they need it most.

HISTORY

The event was started by a dedicated group of local citizens and business leaders who had a vision of creating a world class motorcycle event that would raise money to support a brand new hospice campus and health care in Leamington and surrounding communities. After 2 years, we have raised over $250,000 for local hospice and healthcare.

The official video of last year’s event is at hogsforhospice.com.

The Hogs for Hospice Committee has a number of improvements planned for this year. We will bring the best in entertainment, food and Hospice Erie Shores Campus

This is a community event. Everyone is welcome to attend.

A Short Drive From Anywhere in the County!

1000 s of motorcycles

Whether you ride, have always dreamed of riding, or are just curious, Seacliff Park is the place to be during the Hogs for Hospice weekend in Leamington, Ontario. Motorcycles will have preferred parking on Forest Avenue, the main access road to the park, giving everyone the opportunity to check out all the many different bikes.

The premier motorcycle event at Hogs for Hospice is the ‘Tour the Tip’ Registered Ride. This organized ride will leave from Seacliff Park on Saturday morning following the Veteran’s Ceremony and a Blessing of the Bikes. The group will head straight from Seacliff Park to the tip of Point Pelee National Park, Canada’s most southern point.

Registration is $25 for a single rider and $40 for a rider and passenger, and that price includes lunch for each person on the ride. All proceeds go to the Erie Shores Health Foundation in support of hospital and hospice.

Register at hogsforhospice.com We invite all members of the public to come out early Saturday morning to Seacliff Park to help honour our Veterans with a ceremony at 10:00 am, before the ride leaves at 10:30 am. You can also participate by standing along the ride route and watching the 1000s of motorcycles go by with a wave and welcome.
