By Mike Thibodeau The municipality has selected a temporary home for the Leamington Library during its reconstruction.

Town councillors recently approved the former Hakim Optical building at 230 Erie St. South as a temporary location.

Council was told that a 12-month lease arrangement has been undertaken with the property owners beginning June 1.

The only concern came from Councillor John Jacobs who wondered what would happen if the project took longer.

“We feel we have enough of a cushion with four extra months,” said Paul Barnable, director of community development. He said the building “is accessible” and its 2,600 square feet will meet the library’s needs.

The reconstruction of the library is scheduled to begin in July and take about eight months to complete.

Total cost of the lease is $39,000 with another $18,000 in added costs of which $9,000 will be covered by the library board.

The libraries are operated by the county but the municipalities are responsible for the buildings.

Total cost to the town for the effort is estimated at $59,000 but those monies will come from the Collins estate, a financial legacy given to the library 20 years ago.

Leamington’s original library, a Carnegie building, was torn down in the 1960s and replaced by its present one-story structure.

An open house was held about a month ago to display the architect’s drawings of the library’s renovations.

Pelee Islander II arrives in Kingsville from Chile

The new Pelee Islander II arrives at the docks of the Pelee Island Ferry Service in Kingsville Friday, June 15. Construction of the vessel was completed in May of this year in Chile, from which point it travelled to the St. Lawrence Seaway and arrived in Montreal for customs inspection. It arrived at the Pelee Island ferry terminal earlier on Friday and was scheduled to make its first appearance in Leamington on Monday, June 18.

The PI2 has a deadweight of 500 tonnes and a length and breadth of 67m by 15m (220 ft. by 49 ft.), making it slightly larger than the Jiimaan. The PI2 can carry 399 passengers and 34 cars with no tractor trailers or four tractor trailers and 16 cars.

No volunteers, town hires consultant to review salaries

By Mike Thibodeau Leamington Council was looking to the community to help determine pay scales for itself, and other committees and agencies. But it simply never got the response.

On Monday, June 11, town Council agreed to hire

a consultant even though some councillors didn’t want to spend the money.

Several weeks ago, Council agreed to establish a local committee to look at Council salaries and remuneration for those sitting on the Committee of Adjustment, Police Services Board

and Union Water Board. For the review committee they were looking for two “residents” and one person each representing “manufacturing, agricultural and retail” sectors – five people in all.

Only one person responded to the ads and social media.

Talking about salaries is never a comfortable subject for Council, said Mayor John Paterson, adding he was “disappointed” with the response.

He suggested Council could go with the “status quo” of a two per cent increase, or even “remain as is.”

“I can’t believe it,” said Councillor Larry Verbeke, who advocated re-advertising.

“Could we do it inhouse… I want to get away from spending that $5,000,” said Councillor John Jacobs.

Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald said municipalities have to pay reasonably to make the position attractive and no one wants to go in the hole while serving on Council.

Councillors were hoping the local committee would set the pay scales that would apply to the new Council following the October election.

A new factor is also being thrown into the mix when considering Council salaries and that is the federal government decision to do away with the 33 per cent tax break for Council pay.

That will end after 2018.

Administrator Peter Neufeld was uncertain of the results if they re-advertised.

Given the timeline with the elections, MacDonald said pay decisions need to get done.

Because of the lack of response, town staff asked for submissions from two consultants and the lowest cost came from Marianne Love.

She has conducted salary reviews for the town in the past and for Amherstburg last year.

Council approved hiring Love.

Camp Day fundraiser a success

By Bryan Jessop Thanks to customers from Leamington and across the country, youths from underprivileged families will enjoy a unique outdoors experience.

Tim Hortons’ annual Camp Day was well received both locally and across Canada, again generating the funds necessary to grant about 20,000 youths the chance to enjoy a one-week camping excursion at a pre-designated site far from home. Leamignton’s Erie Street South location — part of Crowder Enterprises, which also owns Leamington’s other two Tim Hortons restaurants as well as the two Essex branches and the rural kiosk at Manning Road and County Road 46 — recognized the yearly fundraiser with a series of day-long events and attractions.

While all Tim Hortons locations donate Camp Day coffee sales to the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation in support of sending youths from low-income families to camp, each restaurant was encouraged to add its own fundraising ideas.

The Leamington Erie Street South location offered a series of innovative on-site attractions to add to coffee sales, including a modification to its own drive-thru “jail” site. This year, the stand-up, makeshift prison cell was replaced by — appropriately “It’s a big enough — a tent. The set up once again allowed the release of a volunteer “camper” after a specific amount deal for us and of donations were collected at the drive thru on their since we’ve got behalf. the parking “The tent offers a lot more shade than the jail did,” space, we like to explained Leamington Tim Hortons Erie Street South go all out.” supervisor Kristyn Mellow, one of more than a dozen individuals who stepped forward to help prepare for — Kristyn and organize the local branch’s involvement in Camp Mellow Day. Mellow was joined by a handful of other local Tim Hortons employees as well as a trio of special guests visiting from Rosewood Erie Glen Manor. This year’s Camp Day was also an opportunity for local high school students to tally required community hours.

“We really wanted to get the public involved this year with a variety of things,” Mellow explained. “It’s a big deal for us and since we’ve got the parking space, we like to go all out.”

With about two months of pre Camp day planning, the Erie Street South location went with a Hawaiian theme this year. After posting an in-store Camp Day volunteer recruitment sheet, a team of employees to assist with the fundraiser’s assortment of functions was formed.

“There are a lot of behind the scenes things to take care of,” Mellow said. “For the week before, we didn’t sleep. It gets pretty nuts a couple days before.”

Last year, Leamington’s most southerly Tim Horton’s raised $4,606, including $700 in sales of $2 braclets and $1,800 in cash donations. Although bracelet sales were down this year at $446, cash contributions were up to $2,369.20 for a combined sum of $7,372.14.

The restaurant’s fundraisers included a drive for $300 to force employee Matt Azar to dye his beard hot pink and an indoor silent raffle for donated items and services. Those prizes included a photography session with Cate Foulon of Stella’s View Photography, a dog basket from Pet Value and a Kurig and webcam of20th Annual 10 Month Trips Draw fered from Staples.

“People are very generProgram from Sept. ‘17 to June ‘18 ous,” noted Leamington municipal councilor John Jacobs, who again volunteered to be one of Camp Day’s drive thru ‘prisoners’. “Even if it’s just loose change, every little bit helps.”

Last year, the Canadawide total for Camp Day reached $13.7 million. Nationwide results from this year’s event were not available by press deadline.

As part of their independent study project, they were required to construct a styrofoam molecule using correct geometry and angles as it appears in atomic structure.

“They were well constructed and the students spent a lot of time on accuracy,” commented teacher John Fittler. “I was thoroughly impressed.”

Students also had a chance to roast their teacher in a student end of the year demonstration of fire and smoke.

“There is not a better way to keep students interested in chemistry than to experience it firsthand with demonstrations,” said Fittler, brushing off soot from his pants.

Teacher John Fittler constantly engages his students through hands-on labs and demonstrations. He really jumped into the material this time!

the Look for

RED s!

Umbrella

By Mike Thibodeau Leamington Council is as anxious as the developer to see construction start on a new housing project.

That project is planned for about 16 acres of open land on the west side of the bypass, just south of Talbot St. East.

Last week councillors learned developer Jim Liovas plans to built 14 three-storey units containing six apartments each. The housing will go on the south portion, while a smaller commercial building is planned on the north end.

The two portions would be split by the completion of the unopened road between Anfred St. and the bypass (County Rd. 33).

As well, councillors also learned that Highline Mushroom is involved in the project and plans to house some of its workers there.

“I cannot think of better solution,” said Mayor John Paterson, referring to the developer’s approach to develop by way of site plan control, rather than subdivision.

“I hope we can get through this as quick as possible,” he added.

While many of the approvals for the project have already been given, some still remain.

Liovas said that time is critical because a late start will push some construction into the winter months.

The land is already zoned for medium density housing and the north portion is commercial, but the entire site has an H “Holding” designation that Council must remove before construction can start.

Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald said she sees the project “as a step in the right direction” and she hopes all the approvals can get resolved quickly.

When she asked about a timeline, Council was told it was still several weeks away.

“As often as the municipality gets blamed (for delays), there are reports missing,” said Paterson.

Administrator Peter Neufeld said staff would act as fast as possible and also advise Liovas of the project’s standing as to when construction could begin.

RIB’S RAMBLINGS

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

A bug by any other name…

They’re back!

Sunday evening, after many weeks of dread Mark Ribble and anticipation, the invasion of the May flies happened in Leamington.

Often referred to locally as fish flies, the May flies will make our lives a little less fun for a few weeks.

The names run the gamut around here and I’m sure in other locations throughout the world where they are common occurrences.

Some places have locusts, so we can thank our lucky stars that we just have to put up with the harmless May flies.

Named because they often start their migration in late May, we referred to them as June bugs when I was a kid because they often didn’t arrive here until mid-June.

A lot of people call them fish flies because they have a fishy odour when they congregate in the millions around outdoor lights everywhere.

As of Monday morning, Wheatley was May-fly-free, so who knows if they will arrive in the village before the end of the week.

Apparently, the Belle River area has been dealing with them for over a week now.

When I was young, it was nothing for them to be piled up under light standards three-orfour inches deep, dead as a doornail.

There’s a word we don’t hear anymore… doornail. Just what is a doornail anyway?

Okay, back to the insects.

The dreaded June bug, for my family was preceded by what we called fish flies back then, which are now simply called midges.

The midge is the furry little mosquito-like bug that leaves its green paste on your windows and walls. Also harmless, they swarm like mosquitoes but don’t bite in any way.

My dad called them sturgeon flies, while my mom called them fish flies.

It wasn’t until later that I picked up on the whole fish fly name when referring to the May flies, or June bugs, depending on your location.

To people who lived anywhere other than this area, June bugs refer to a flying green beetle that also invades in numbers, although nowhere near what we see here with the May flies/fish flies.

So, to those new to the area, welcome to our world. The annual May fly invasion is here.

They say the more there are, the better indication of the health of Lake Erie, so in one way, we hope for a healthy lake, which means lots of them.

You’ll also notice an increase in seagulls and other birds that feed on them. Nice big fat birds who like to poop on unsuspecting pedestrians. So maybe keep an umbrella handy.

Let’s just hope they don’t last well into the summer like last year. It seemed like they’d be gone for a couple of weeks, and then a new wave would arrive.

There’s one thing we can agree on. They are certainly annoying little critters, no matter what you call them.

Donors needed: community blood drive is Wednesday, July 4 Canadian Blood Services is holding a community blood drive on July 4 in Leamington. Currently, Canadian Blood Services are booked at only 39% of its need.

There are 120 appointments that need to be filled at the Leamington Community Blood Drive held at Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex located at 249 Sherk St., Leamington. The blood drive runs from 1 p.m.-7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4. New donors and walk-ins are welcome. For additional information or to book an appointment: www. blood.ca or 1-888-2-Donate (1-888-236-6283).

More than half of all Canadians will either need blood themselves or will know someone that does. New and returning donors are urged to book an appointment to give life to ensure patients receive the blood they need.

As Canadians prepare to enjoy the summer, many hospital patients will be fighting for life itself. They’ll urgently need blood. While blood donations traditionally decrease because people are away on holidays or busy with family activities, the demand for blood usually increases due in part to an increase in trauma cases such as car accidents. Canadian patients count on the generosity of anonymous blood donors every day to help them get through trauma, surgeries, and other life-threatening medical conditions.

Students Enjoy Café Chevalier at Queen Elizabeth P.S. Chris Fehr of Leamington won a silver medal in Mechanical CAD while Ashley Doe brought home the gold medal in I.T. Software Solutions from the 2018 National Skills Canada Competition, held in Edmonton June 5 and 6. By placing second in his category, Fehr has qualified to take part in the Skills Canada Competition in Halifax next year for a chance to represent Team Canada at the World Skills Competition in Kazan, Russia, also in 2019.

Local student wins skills competition

By Bryan Jessop With employers seeking more skilled trades workers, the province — or country, for that matter — could use some more Chris Fehrs.

A Leamington resident who graduated from St. Clair College’s Automotive Product Design course in its Mechanical Engineering Technology department earlier this spring, Fehr has done a lot more in recent weeks than simply graduate. As a part of St. Clair’s team, he took part in his second Provincial Skills Ontario competition in the provincial capital in early May. There, he and a sum of more than 2,500 other high school and college students gathered at the Toronto Congress Centre to compete in one of several different categories.

Fehr was one of about 20 entries in the Mechanical CAD division, where participants were assessed and scored on two separate events. Fehr was one of four St. Clair students to earn a gold medal, along with Daniel Manera (Graphic Design), Ashley Doe (I.T. Software Solutions) and Mohammed Chams (I.T. Network Systems).

By placing first in their respective categories, each of the four local post secondary students earned a place with Team Ontario and an appearance in the 24th annual National Skills Canada competition. The national event took place in Edmonton about a month later — June 5 and 6 — where each province and territory was invited to send one competitor per each of the 50-plus categories.

Doe, of Windsor, captured the gold medal in I.T. Software Solutions while Fehr earned silver in Mechanical CAD, behind “Their projects only the Team Quebec entry. With Doe’s category existing as (at the nationals) one of the newer disciplines, there is no international level of were very competition to which she can advance. For Mechanical CAD, complicated and the top two finishers will travel to Halifax in June of 2019 for designed to push them.” a head-to-head competition. The winner will join Team Canada — Sherri Epp for the biannual World Skills Competition, to take place later that year in Kazan, Russia. The Halifax site will serve as the hosts for the 25th annual National Skills Canada Competition.

Fehr entered the yearly provincial event for the first time in 2017, where Toronto also provided the host site. Although he didn’t earn a medal, he explained the experience as a valuable one.

“That was a real eye-opener for me,” he noted. “It was really exciting to win it this year.”

Fehr continued to explain that the national event was literally twice as much work, as entries are judged on four events rather than two. The Canada-wide competition was based on two seven-hour days.

“It was actually a bit deceiving,” Fehr said. “The events are designed so that you can’t finish the part. The score is based on how much you get done.”

Technical advisors from each province and territory were assigned to the various categories at the national level, where each student is given a number for their projects. Each event is scored by at least three judges simultaneously, although judges are not able to assess entries

A team of students in Grade 7/8 at Queen Elizabeth Public School helped their French teachers plan, create and prepare Café Chevalier. The café followed a Parisian theme and students decorated the walls with murals of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum and Notre-Dame Cathedral. They also had help from the art club in creating some beautiful murals and canvas paintings. The school partnered with Leamington District Secondary School to cater the food which included freshly made crêpes, whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

On the day of the café, Grade 4-8 students were greeted in the gym with French music, fresh cut flowers on tables, a photo booth, raffle prizes, a student mime and a live ukulele performance by three Grade 7/8 girls. From left to right, Ashley Agala, Margaret Harder and Emily Neufeld are ready to prepare some delicious crêpes at Café Chevalier.

from their own province or territory. Fehr was one of six competitors in Mechanical CAD, where the bronze medal went to a participant from Nova Scotia.

The last time St. Clair College sent a Skills Competition entry to the international level was about a decade ago, when a team made up of Wheatley’s Andrew Bezelaire and Tilbury’s Jeremy Atkinson qualified in Mechatronics. Since then, the duo has formed the business Southpoint Automation on Highway 77.

At St. Clair, Fehr was coached for this year’s Skills Competitions and taught the three year course by Domenico Rossi. The recent Leamington graduate described the professor as a valuable asset in preparing for the provincial and national events, for which he’s been training since shortly after the 2017-18 school year began.

“He’s very skilled with the software they use,” Fehr noted.

Doe, who also just graduated earlier this spring, was coached and taught by Wheatley resident Sherri Epp. Fehr and Doe were among 10 St. Clair students who earned medals at this year’s provincial gathering.

“They’re both amazing students,” Epp said of the two St. Clair 2018 national medalists. “Their projects (at the nationals) were very complicated and designed to push them. You’ve got to be able SERVICING ALL MAKES & MODELS to handle pressure there and SALES • SERVICE • INSTALLATION know your stuff.”

After graduating, Fehr took BERNIE CORMIER on a job at 360 Manufactur519.839.6102 ing. On Monday, June 18, he Cell 226.280.2493 began a job as a junior mould surfacer at Windsor-based countycoolingandheating@gmail.com Omega Tool Corporation.

170th Leamington Fair

The #24 car of Shawn Lougheed is knocked onto its side by the eventual full size car class heat winner during the 170th annual Leamington Fair’s demolition derby Saturday, June 16.

Fair kicks off Summer of 2018

Alejanero Thiessen and Antonio Thiessen are all smiles as they collide with Sandra Bergen in the bumper cars as part of the 170th annual Leamington Fair Saturday, June 16.

By Bryan Jessop Seventeen decades of family, fun and tradition have made their way through Leamington.

One of the county’s few community fairs older than Confederation itself was welcomed with a mix of sunshine, clouds, rain, heat and humidity this year. None of the weekend’s weather conditions, however, were able to stave off the thousands of fairgoers who converged upon the Leamington Fairgrounds for the 170th annual Leamington Fair. Presented by the Leamington and District Agricultural Society, this year’s three-day festival welcomed visitors with the traditional array of games and rides by Carter Midway plus a list of additional attractions, displays, presentations and events.

This year’s biggest event was the two-show Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride, offering 40-minute performances late Saturday morning and on the afternoon of Father’s Day. Tammy Wiper, president of the LDAS, explained that acquiring the Musical Ride was an achievement for the organization’s team of volunteers 10 years in the making. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride depicts the formation as seen on a former After an extensive interview process, the Leamington Fair was chosen as one of the tour’s version of the Canadian 50 dollar bill before a large turnout of spectators Saturday, June 16. destinations for 2018.

“We’ve worked so hard to get it — this is something that we’ve wanted so badly,” Wiper (Sun-Journal said of the RCMP Musical Ride. “When I saw their trucks coming, I started bawling. Once the horses were in their (Ag Society stables), it sunk in as a reality.”

The riders — a 50/50 split between men and women — are all RCMP officers stationed at different posts across Canada. Wiper explained that the Ag Society’s new paddock was well received by the 32 riders upon their arrival to the Tomato Capital.

“They loved it,” she said. “They’re very impressed with the town and they’re happy to be a part of this year’s fair.”

Before and after Musical Ride performances, spectators and admirers were able to visit the riders and horses in the new paddock as one of the attractions to this year’s fair.

Wiper noted that sponsors and other community partners including the Municipality of Leamington have played crucial roles in making this year’s fair a success. More than 80 local Ian Swentek looks on as his son Xzavier Swentek enjoys sitting upon an antique Oliver tractor during the 170th annual Leambusinesses, families and organizations supported the 170th ington Fair.

Leamington Fair.

“It’s been an amazing journey this year,” Wiper said. “It’s been a real positive working with the Municipality — we’ve been lucky to work alongside (Leamington) mayor (John) Patterson and (culture and tourism developer) Kyra Knapp.

It’s been a great experience. This is a great way to kick off the summer.”

The fair also featured traditional components such as the Vendors’ Alley and annual Greenhouse Competition, and a handful of newcomers including Greatest Hits Live as Friday evening live entertainment. Indoor displays included the customary hundreds of artistic works of local elementary school students, three presentations by Mad Science, Teenage Midnight Madness, a pet show in front of the Jeanette Mulholland Activity Centre and the crowd favourite Demolition Derby early Saturday evening.

The antique tractor display was again set up west of the grandstands throughout the weekend, concluding with a Sunday 1 p.m. parade.

Wheatley Legion celebrates 75 years

By Pat Bailey Royal Canadian Legion Br. 324 celebrated the 75th Anniversary of its Charter on Saturday, June 9 with a ceremony at Ivan Coulter Park, followed by an open house at the Branch.

Legion member Bill Siddall opened the ceremony, giving a brief history of the beginnings of the Wheatley Legion on June 7, 1943. He told the small gathering that 13 First World War veterans and one Second World War veteran founded the Wheatley Branch, then known at the British Empire Service League. Siddall said the Legion has weathered many storms over the years and endured many changes, but he said one thing will never change – "the honouring of all veterans and those who paid the supreme sacrifice".

Leamington Councillor John Hammond was on hand in Wheatley to help the Legion mark its 75th anniversary. Hammond brought greetings from the municipality, congratulating them and thanking them for their hospitality and welcoming of former Leamington Legion members, as well as for their efforts in ensuring Remembrance Day ceremonies continue.

The Legion was also presented with certificates signifying its 75th Anniversary from Ontario Command Past President Brian Weaver and Karen Robertson on behalf of MPP Rick Nicholls.

Following the ceremony, awards were presented at the Branch by Wheatley Legion President Bill Robertson and Provincial Past President Brian Weaver.

Second World War veteran Bert Overholt was in attendance at the ceremony to mark the 75th Anniversary of Wheatley Legion’s Charter. Bert is a Past President of Br. 324, and also served as Deputy-Zone Commander, Zone Commander, District Commander, Provincial Vice-President and Vice-Chair Ontario Command.

First-ever MartinFest is July 7

The Ontario Purple Martin Association (OPMA) is hosting its 1st annual MartinFest on Saturday, July 7 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., rain or shine.

MartinFest celebrates the Purple Martin - a much-loved native North American bird which is unique in its tolerance of, dependence upon, and desire to be close to humans.

This event is being held at Colchester Harbour Park, 100 Jackson St. in Colchester (south of Harrow), where an active Purple Martin colony can be viewed.

OPMA members will be in attendance to answer any questions about identifying and attracting these amazing birds, as well as becoming a successful ‘landlord’.

There will be speakers, presentations, and kids activities, as well as vendors. You may want to bring a lawn chair and enjoy everything the event has to offer.

Admission is free, but a food bank donation would be appreciated! For more information call Paul Hamel 519-738-3476 or visit www.ontariopurplemartins.ca

Jay Allan to perform at Two Creeks

Brad and Lynn Bailey entertained Wheatley Friendship Club members at their June 6 meeting.

Friendship Club welcomes Brad & Lynn Friendship Club FYI

By Bonnie Dawson The Friendship Club meeting on June 6 began with the singing of O Canada led by Brad Bailey on sax and Lynn Bailey on piano.

President Harold Dundas asked members to take a moment of silence in honour of Winnifred Drummond who passed away recently.

The blessing followed and then Happy Birthday was sung to Pat Churchill and Bonnie Dawson who have birthdays in June.

Thanks to Barb Siddall and Donna Moody who were on lunch and provided a delectable assortment of large squares with ice-cream for dessert.

The winners of the 50/50 draws were Donna Moody and Lynn Bailey.

Brad & Lynn Bailey, local favourites , were the entertainment for the afternoon and they provided an eclectic mix of lively, toe-tapping, well-known tunes along with a few gospel songs. Some of these included “O Lord It’s Hard To Be Humble”, “Hey Good Looking”, “Slow Boat To China”, “Hello Mary Lou”, “Pennsylvania Polka”, and an old Beatles tune “When I’m 64“ which they changed to “When I’m 94” since a few club members were past 84. Other songs were “I Just Want to Dance With You”, “A White Sports Coat”, “Knock Three Times”, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “When the Saints Go Marching In”, “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”, “Down By the Riverside”, “Let It Shine”, etc. They ended with “Try a Little Kindness” and “Show Me the Way to Go Home”. Thank you, Brad and Lynn for all the lovely music. Everyone loved your performance and the members look forward to having you back at the Friendship Club again.

The Friendship Club quilters are selling tickets on a quilt. The tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. The draw will be made on Saturday, August 4 at 3:00 p.m.

While driving on Hwy 401 for many kilometres between Milton and west of Kitchener-Waterloo there was a transport truck driving in the third lane (beside the median). I always understood that that lane was banned to transports except in an emergency or necessary left lane exit, neither of which was the case. My dad, who had memorized the rules of the road before his 80th birthday driver’s test, had informed me that on three-lane highways, the second lane in was for trucks to pass slower vehicles and that I should not obstruct them or hold them up in that lane. When I took my original driver’s exam, three-lane highways hadn’t been invented yet. I couldn’t get the offending truck’s license number or name, but noted the number of the trailer and that the cab was out of Mississauga. I wondered if the driver was a graduate of one of those sham truck-driving schools where you get your permit to drive in seven days or less.

I imagine that real truckers who know their rules will correct me fast enough if I’m off base. Next time I’ll tell you about a stupid driving mistake I made recently in a construction zone and how I was given a well-deserved tonguelashing for it.

Relay for Life continues to give hope

By Pat Bailey There were plenty of tears shed Friday night. Some were out of sadness for those they had lost, others were tears of joy for a battle they had won.

Over 300 people descended on Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday (June 8-9) to pass the baton in the annual Relay for Life.

The fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society Windsor-Essex was expected to raise about $80,000 through the efforts of about 300, making up 28 teams.

Teams like Alex’s Walking Warriors. They were the team walking in support of this year’s community champion, 12-year-old Alex Archer, who has been forced to battle the dreaded disease three times, beginning with a cancer diagnosis on Christmas Eve when he was just three years old.

That was when his family’s life changed forever, he told the crowd.

Through the years, the talented athlete has been forced to sit on the sidelines on several occasions but continued to fight to get back on the field.

In fact, when last year’s walk was taking place, the youngster was in Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital preparing for a bone marrow transplant – the day before his 12th birthday.

This year Alex was proud to be on hand offering hope to all those battling cancer.

Alex is also happy to be back playing sports and hanging out with friends after spending so much time away from his Kingsville home and school (Gosfield North Public School), classmates and teammates.

Since his original diagnosis, and along the journey, Alex has witnessed many changes and advances in the battle against cancer.

Canadian Cancer Society representatives said those advancements are made possible through fundraisers such as Relay for Life.

Event sponsor Jim Scott of Ground Effects and the Scott Family Foundation said he has 3,400 employees and “not a week goes by without someone being touched by cancer”.

Radio personality Kara Ro said ideally they would “like to create a world where no one has to fear cancer”.

Alex cut the ribbon, leading his fellow cancer survivors on the survivors’ lap to mark the opening of the relay. Team members walked laps throughout the night, handing off the baton to fellow teammates in a relay that spanned 12 hours.

While the relay was the focus of the evening, it also offered a feast for its participants, as well as a host of activities to keep everyone busy throughout the night.

“Relay for Life is more that a fundraising event,” said cancer society representative Theresa Blondin. “It is a powerful and moving experience that supports, honours and celebrates anyone who has been affected by the words ‘you have cancer’.

Monies raised through the event support cancer research and support services for people living with cancer.

WE’VE GOT YOU WE’VE COVERED! GOT YOU COVERED!

Bailey Brown connected for a triple to give her team the 10-9 victory.

“It was a close game,” explained LDSS head coach Lindsay Walker. “It was a good experience for the girls to have.”

Leamington faced another neighbourly rival in the semi final. In another fairly close game, the Lions kept their repeat hopes in high gear by finishing off the Kingsville

Cavaliers in a 13-8 decision.

For the championship contest, LDSS was once again pitted against Villanova.

The Wildcats took the long route to earn a spot in the final. After the forefeit win over Brennan, Villanova played five more playoff contests including the 10-9 nail biter versus Leamington.

The two finalists found themselves in a 6-6 stale-

The Lightning started the tournament by doubling the Walkerville Tartans 16-8 to avoid the threat of elimination at the hands of LDSS. The Lions cruised to a 13-0 victory, forcing the Lightning to come up with a win against the Cityleading Lajeunesse Royals.

UMEI stayed in contention by eliminating the Royals with a 17-12 win, but were removed from further competition by losing 20-5 to General Amherst.

The defending WECSSAA champs jumped out to a 9-5 lead, but the Villanova Wildcats — who finished the regular season at 5-3 and started the tourney with a forfeit win against Brennan and then a 10-4 win over Lajeunesse — stormed back to tie the game at 9-9. As the home team, LDSS utilized the bottom of the seventh and final inning to come up with the winning run. After Jessica Bueckert made her way to first base,

The Leamington District Secondary School Lions girls slo-pitch team celebrate their second straight WECSSAA title. They won the championship by knocking off the St. Thomas of Villanova Wildcats 10-6 last Tuesday afternoon at Co-An Park in McGregor.

(Ron Giofu photo)

By Bryan Jessop Hit. Run. Catch. Throw.

Win. Repeat.

Such was the theme of the Leamington District Secondary School girls’ slopitch team, which capped an undefeated 2018 season by winning its second straight WECSSAA title. In doing so, they became the first-ever LDSS squad to win backto-back WECSSAA baseball championships.

The Lions went 8-0 in the regular season before heading off to McGregor’s Co-An Park for this season’s playoff tournament, a double knock-out event featuring the Top 6 teams from both the City and County divisions. The County teams dominated the Tuesday, June 5 post-season schedule, winning all but one of the cross divisional games against Windsor area opposition.

The Lions’ started the playoffs against their northerly neighbours, UMEI.

mate before Lions’ bats once again sprung to life. Taking a 10-6 lead, Leamington’s bid for a second straight WECSSAA title was threatened when the Wildcats loaded the bases to put the tying run at the plate. The LDSS squad, however, came up with the third out on a play by shortstop Morgan Brown — Bailey’s twin sister — to clinch the title.

Lions win WECSSAA Slo-Pitch — again

Local Bridge Results

(Continued from B-1) “Morgan’s glove saved us,” said Walker. “If there’s anywhere you want the other team to hit the ball to, it’s Morgan. She’ll take care of it.”

Bailey Brown and Bueckert were again credited with pivotal roles in the win, the former who went on to earn league MVP accolades. Morgan Brown was nominated as a county all star along with pitcher Cassie Bluhm. For the LDSS athletic banquet, Bueckert took girls slo-pitch Coach’s Choice honours.

“They’ve been a great group of girls — they’re all very coachable,” said Walker, who coached along with her sisterin-law Jill Walker. “We tell them what to do and they just do it.”

The Lions emerged from the regular season as the top team both offensively and defensively. While the City-leading Royals collected an average of 13.3 runs per game and allowed 4.7, Leamington averaged 16.6 runs for and 3.75 runs against.

“It was their year to shine and they did,” said Walker.

“I’m proud of the girls. It was a strong season.”

Last year, the Lions captured the WECSSAA title in the final against the Essex Red Raiders. Leamington won five London invitational tournaments in previous seasons, but was unable to attend the event for 2018. Between now and the 2019 campaign, LDSS will be losing six players — their entire infield — to graduation. Moving on are Kelsi Almasi at first base, Trudy Bueckert at second base, Bailey Brown at third base, Morgan Brown at short stop, Bluhm as pitcher and Kate Derbyshire as catcher.

“We’ll be rebuilding next year, but there are some girls chomping at the bit to take their spots,” said Walker, who noted that Jessica Bueckert at right centre field (Grade 10) and Alyssa Beleutz at left centre field (Grade 11) were also key players this season. “We’re looking forward to next season.”

Warm weather helps Talbot Trail sr. golfers

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, June 12 the sixty-four participating Talbot Trail senior golf league members enjoyed a beautiful day for their golf. The warmer weather seemed to loosen up the seasoned joints as there were some sizzling scores shot.

Mike Wright’s shot on #9 won him the closest to the pin. Mike converted the putt for one of his two birdies. Steady Ed Woelk easily won the long putt when he dropped a beauty on #2.

The 80-85y division was led by Tom Hyatt who fired a masterful 42. Three shots back was Bob Freure who also earned a very impressive 45. Walter Balsam and Pete Daudlin also played very well as they produced very praiseworthy 48s. Neil Adamson was a mere one shot back with his solid 49. Receiving a very satisfying nifty 50 was Ed Woelk. Andy Orsini played to a very commendable 51. Both Fred Takaki and Bill Edwards earned noteworthy results.

The 85+y division continued their inspiring play. Dave La Bonte put together a brilliant nifty 50 to take top spot. Gerry Becigneul placed second with his solid 54. Orville Ellwood and Murray Cacadden also had satisfying results.

League newcomer Tom Dunn made his presence known immediately as he fired an outstanding 36. Three shots back with their own excellent results of 39 were Jim Pearson and Jamie (Arkey) Arquette. Bummy seems to be winning a fair number of free coffees from his neighbour. Jim scored a sensational 43 to crush his neighbour by 8 shots! I’m told that the determined neighbour will work extra hard to win back those free coffees.

Steve Longeway and Randy Nash enjoyed their golf day as they received superb 44s.

Dave (OV) Overholt achieved a very solid 46. It’s great having OV back playing in the league. Randy Zeray and David Tonks produced noteworthy 48s. Herb Reid and John Liddell came in with fine 49s. Howard Mulrain achieved a very respectable nifty 50.

In the 70-79y division, dazzling rounds of 37 were shot by Mike Wright and Dutchy.

Paul Brown played to a very impressive 38. Bill Ward and Bobo scored excellent 40s.

Rick Thompson and Al Zanuttini were close behind with their brilliant results of 41 and 42 respectively. Paul Harrison and Bob Scott scored solid 43s. Superb 44s went to Doug Langlois and Vic Reynaert. Here is a list of some other noteworthy results: 45s Dave Dent, Mike Getty, Ray la Pierre, Al Matthews and Tom White; 46s - Tom Sasso and Terry Bee; 48 - Gary Benninger. Four players who received nifty 50 were Richard Humber, Gary Honey, Mac Hyatt and Rick (Scoop) Epplett.

The first golf balls were made of thin leather stuffed with feathers. Tightly packed feathers made the ball travel the farthest. Feather balls were used until 1848.

It’s seems unbelievable how far the pros and young golfers are hitting their shots today with the new clubs and golf balls. I often wonder how far the pros of today would hit the old balls with the older golf clubs. I wish they would have a tournament where they dressed like the pros of the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. They would have to use the clubs and balls of that time period. I think it would be very interesting to watch!

Don Willan may need surgery on his hip. The league wish him excellent results if the surgery is required.

Thank You! We would like to extend a special thanks to all those who helped make the 2018 Leamington Multisport Weekend such a great success. To our competitors, many of whom come from Windsor and Essex County, thank-you for participating! In particular, we would like to thank the residents and businesses along the race routes for their patience and commitment to keeping the athletes safe while the event was underway. We would also like to thank the many volunteers who performed the duties, large and small, required to make an event like this run smoothly.

Lastly, we could not do this event without the generous contributions from our sponsors.

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

Competitive sports can certainly be a hit and miss affair when it comes to efforts to capture international attention.

When people hear a term like “global competition,” their first thoughts usually drift to the Olympics (Summer or Winter, take your pick). Incessant controversy with the Olympic Games have spoiled the luster for MANY fans, but hey — they’ll always be better than global conflicts based on wars and other forms of mass killings.

As I started writing this column, the 2018 FIFA World Cup’s first game just ended in a 5-0 score favouring the Russian hosts over Saudi Arabia. No surprise there, but let’s face it — when it comes to soccer, most North Americans don’t really know what we’re watching or talking about.

Heck, we even refer to it by a different name than the rest of the world (“football,” as far as we’re concerned, is a contact sport with players donning a LOT more equipment).

This year’s World Cup promises to be different.

Why? Mostly because of some nations that are peculiarly absent. While it’s no shock that Canada failed to make the cut for the eighth consecutive time, it’s downright baffling that the

What in the World Cup?

likes of Italy, The Netherlands and the U.S. are not involved this time around (America’s not known for its love of soccer, but with a massive economy and the globe’s third largest population, it almost always makes at least a token appearance).

It’s also kind of peculiar that Costa Rica and Panama are this year’s only Central American entries — no Nicaragua, Honduras or El Salvador.

While I’ll admit that I’m no soccer expert, I can’t help but wonder if the 32 teams that qualify every four years are really the Top 32 national teams. Is CONCACAF just one of the toughest regions in the world, or is Canada really worse than the likes of Sengeal, Tunisia and Iceland? When we look at the standings for Major League Baseball, the NHL, NFL, etcetera, it becomes pretty obvious that some divisions are stronger than others (as I type these words, the Detroit Tigers are five games below .500 but only 4.5 games shy of the lead in the AL Central).

Like most other sports played at the international level, the FIFA World Cup has its perennial favourites and also-rans. Germany, Brazil and Argentina are among the former while Egypt, Iran and Australia are examples that represent

the latter. To be honest, the tournament is no more predictable than international hockey. We all know the routine there — Canada, the U.S., Russia and to a slightly lesser extent the Czechs and Swedes are the only teams with a hope in hell of achieving glory (although the Germans made a heck of the run in the last Olympics).

Still, take a gander at how many teams outside of South America or Europe have won the World Cup or even appeared in the final since FIFA was established in 1930. The answer is a big, fat “ZERO.” Even when global soccer’s governing body starts allowing more teams/countries to qualify, we all know full well that Canada won’t likely be a frontrunner. So again I ask the question — when your own country doesn’t even qualify, who do you root for?

For Canadians, it usually boils down to pinpointing the nation(s) of our heritage.

For me, that would translate into England, which has also been somewhat of an also-ran in recent years (they’ve won the World Cup ONCE, back in 1966). It’s the best country on Earth at producing rock and metal bands, but for being so obsessed with soccer, you’d think they’d field better na-

option was Morocco, and the world justly gets ornery when an impoverished nation spends hundreds of millions of dollars on stadiums and guest accommodations while its own people lie starving in the streets. But THREE countries seems a little wishy-washy (not to mention inconvenient) to me. The U.S. will host 60 of 80 games (48 teams will be invited as opposed to the current 32) while Canada and Mexico split the other 20. Sure, we’ve seen multiple sites host OFSAA (high school championships) and hockey tournaments, but here’s the thing — those venues are usually less than 20 km apart from one another, not THOUSANDS. Donald Trump will no longer be in the White House by then, so asinine travel restrictions and walls to fly over should be at a minimum, but still — let’s just declare New York as THE host and be done with it.

In the meantime, I’ll sit back and allow my own level of soccer expertise to get decimated by a cephalopod.

Still, the World Cup is never without its surprises.

I recall a year when Cameroon made some noise. France surprised millions (billions?) by winning it all in ’98. I’m pretty sure nobody saw the Spain vs.

Netherlands final coming in 2010, except for perhaps the octopus that correctly picked Spain as the winner (nope, not making that up — someone put it in a tank with two rocks at the bottom painted with Spanish and Dutch flags and it grabbed the former).

Therein lies the beauty of a game known for low scoring. It seems crazy to North Americans that 2-0 can be considered a lopsided loss, but on the flip side of that coin, a team being dominated can cling to a scoreless draw and then catch a break in the final few minutes or force a shootout.

No outcome could be stranger than FIFA’s pick for the 2026 hosts — Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. That’s right, an entire CONTINENT will host the World Cup during the school year my son starts high school (yikes). In a way, I get it — the other

tional teams.

Here at the Sun-Journal office, we’ve made things a bit more interesting this year. With nothing but bragging rights on the line, we drew names for each participating country, meaning that most of us have ‘recruited’ three teams. Speaking of also-rans, I’ve drawn Japan, Sweden and Colombia. If the FIFA World Cup was about manufacturing state of the art electronics, modular furniture with more than some assembly required or topnotch coffee beans, I’d be laughing.

But alas, this is a global soccer tournament, so I won’t be doing much celebrating beyond the “Round of 16.” Oddly, two of my teams (Japan and Columbia) are in the same pool, dubbed “Group H” — which I’m pretty sure stands for “How the hell did these teams get here?” They’re up against Poland and Senegal for round robin play, which means they could BOTH qualify for the first playoff round (well, at least Columbia anyway). Sweden, meanwhile, is up against Germany and Mexico (as well as co-underdog South Korea), so they’re pretty much doomed.

Intermediate girls baseball win, lose Leamington Intermediate girls Armando’s Pizza baseball team travelled to Harrow on June 7 and suffered a tough loss against a strong Harrow #1 team. There were 28 hits in total led by Mila Pereira with a 5/5 day and Emma Hamilton with a 4/4 day. Mila Pereira, Elise Stammler and Olivia Derbyshire shared pitching duties.

A rain soaked Saturday morning game on June 9, with a short weather break, was long enough to put a damper on Team Armando’s third game of the Intermediate Girls season. It was a back and forth affair with a late surge by the Leamington girls, but costly fielding errors allowed a disciplined Kingsville #3 team to hold their lead. Big offensive days for Devyn Harris and Danika Romanyk going 4/4 and 3/3 with a walk respectively. Emma Hamilton and Elise Stammler pitched well in the loss. Final score was 20-11 for Kingsville.

Team Armando’s got back to their winning ways with a gem of a game on Tuesday night, June 12 versus Essex #1.

A shorthanded squad, missing two big bats in their lineup, the Armando’s girls stepped up to play their best game of the early season.

An all around slug fest that came down to a defensive hold in the bottom of the 7th – with runners on and the heart of Essex’s order at bat, Meghan Akins and Amber Enns both tracked down fly balls on back-to-back plays to put Essex’s late threat to rest.

Stellar defense by Jayden Marentette, Macy Bailey and Tara Tiessen, who also slugged a big time home run.

Emma Hamilton and Mila Pereira combined for the pitching win, with Mila closing the game. Final score was 19-18 for Leamington. Armando’s is now 2 and 2 on the season.

Making Leamington more accessible

June is Accessibility Awareness Month. Members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee of Leamington have written letters to bring attention to the great work that has been done for accessibility and what remains to be done.

Golfing for Little Hands Kids For a Cause

Jason Bell, of Wheatley, will be golfing for 24 hours in support of Little Hands - Kids for a Cause at Talbot Trail Golf Course in Wheatley. He will tee off at 4:00 p.m. this Friday, June 22 and end by playing holes on Saturday, June 23, starting at 2 p.m., with the fun golfers who sign up.

The event is to help raise funds for Little Hands - Kids for a Cause whose mission is to provide support and love to children battling serious illnesses in the Windsor-Essex area and beyond, including Wheatley. 100% of the profits go to the families of those in need.

The Bell family is hoping that the community can help support this cause by making a donation of any amount. Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so either by stopping by Talbot Trail Golf Club or contacting Jason Bell 519-999-0242 or Cathy Bell 519-562-6154. For more information about Little Hands - Kids for a Cause go to www. littlehandskids.org

“In January of 1979, at the age of two, I was in a automobile accident. 14 months after learning to walk, it was taken away. For the last 40 years I have been living in a world that most take for granted. Occasionally, it’s nice to go somewhere and not ask if it's "accessible".

One of those places is Seacliff Park and beach. The paths are paved and extra wide.

The park also boasts an accessible playground. One of my favourite features is the new beach boardwalk. For the first time in my life, I’m now able to access Seacliff beach. I know it doesn't take me into the water, but the town is working on installing an accessible wheelchair mat in the future.

For me, just being able to get down to the sand means the world. When my nieces and nephews visit, I’m now able to visit the beach, watch them swim and enjoy a family picnic.

When it comes to accessibility we've come a long way, but Leamington knows there is always more work to do. For this, I would like to thank the town.”

– Rob Bahry, Leamington

Pets of the Week

Two arrested for assaulting police

On June 10 at approximately 12:30 a.m., members of the Essex County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a disturbance in a parking lot on Erie St. S. in Leamington.

A man was observed by police causing a disturbance by yelling and shouting profanities at a group of people in the area. While officers attempted to speak with the man and de-escalate the situation, he became combative and was subsequently taken into custody after police discharged a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) to effect the arrest.

Three officers received injuries during the incident, including one officer who was treated at hospital.

A 19-year-old Leamington man was released from custody following a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear in Leamington court later in June. He is charged with causing a disturbance, assaulting police and resisting arrest.

An 18-year-old Windsor woman was also arrested and released. She is charged with assaulting police (x2), resisting arrest and obstructing police.

Anyone with information is asked to call the OPP 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

May 28 1986: Considered one of Leamington’s oldest buildings, Wigle Coach House was recognized as a Designated Heritage Site – the first of four in Leamington.

The building was originally a log cabin erected by Leonard Wigle in 1835.

The building we see today was constructed in 1850.

Today the Leamington Heritage Committee advises town council and property owners of heritage encompassing architectural styles and historical facts.

Hospice LifeWalk events raise over $65,000 across Windsor-Essex County in one day

The Kingsville District High School marching band led the way for the walkers at the Leamington LifeWalk.

t n a We W ar to He !

U O from Y

You are the eyes and ears of our community.

We try to cover as many local events as possible, however if we didn’t attend your event we encourage you to submit your photos and write ups.

On Sunday, June 10th two Hospice LifeWalk events took place in Windsor and Leamington in support of the two Hospice Campuses in Windsor-Essex County. A total of over 400 walkers braved a cold and wet morning and a grand total of over $65,000 was raised!

At Seacliff Park in Leamington, the Erie Shores Health Foundation hosted the 2nd Annual Erie Shores Hospice LifeWalk, in support of operational costs for the Erie Shores Hospice campus located in Leamington.

“The attendance at this walk is a testament to the depth of the service provided by the local Hospice. What an amazing way to remember those we have lost,” said Ross Barnwell, Executive Director, Erie Shores Health Foundation.

Sponsors of the Erie Shores LifeWalk included TD Wealth and Mucci Farms. The event featured the Kingsville-Essex Associated Band, a Dove Release Ceremony, and a food truck lunch for participants. The proceeds raised from the events will go directly to support operational costs at the Windsor and Erie Shores Hospice Campuses to cover the shortfall for expenses not covered through government funding. It is through continuous community support that all hospice programs or services are offered at no cost to Windsor-Essex families.

In Windsor, the Hospice of Windsor and Essex Country celebrated their 22nd Annual Hospice LifeWalk at the Ciociaro Club for The Hospice Wellness Centre, which provides over 50 programs at no cost to patients and their families.

“I am always so grateful, amazed and pleased to see so many gather together each and every year to raise pledges in honour of, or in memory of, a loved one, family member or friend who is facing the challenging diagnosis of a life-altering illness, and those who are no longer with us.” Carol Derbyshire, Executive Director, Hospice of Windsor-Essex County Windsor LifeWalk sponsors included Aphria, Bayshore Home Health, Enterprise Holdings and Marcel’s Collision, Sunshine Family of Pharmacies IDA, Petretta Construction and the Stephanie and Barry Zekelman Foundation.

Events like: • Sports (youth, adult, competitive and fun leagues welcome) • School Happenings • Fundraisers • Parks and Recreation

PLEASE remember to name everyone in the photo!

The walkers at Erie Shores Hospice LifeWalk endured the rain and cool temperatures to raise an amazing $30,000 in their second year.

Leamington Triathlon Weekend

By Pat Bailey Leamington Triathlon Weekend was held Saturday, June 9 at the Kinsmen Recreation Complex and Sunday, June 10 on the waterfront at the base of Erie St. S. Harrow athletes reigned supreme in the chilly, rainy weather that greeted 160 competitors for one of the oldest triathlon’s in the province. It was world champion Lionel Sanders, formerly of Harrow, and Meghan Howell, 24, of Harrow first to cross the line in the male and female categories of the sprint triathlon – 750m open water swim, 20k bike ride and 5k run.

Despite his hectic schedule and continued rise on the Ironman Triathlon circuit, Sanders has faithfully returned to his roots and supported local events.

“I love this race,” said Sanders shortly after crossing the finish line.

“This is where I started to learn about running.”

“In 2010,” he added, “this is where I saw what real running looked like.”

“He never lets us down,” said race director Dave Campbell. Despite the less than ideal conditions, Campbell said the event went well.

“It was safe, despite the awful weather,” said Campbell, “thanks to the police, the volunteers and the sponsors who once again stepped up big time.”

For Howell, it was a warm up to her next big challenge – competing in a half Ironman (2k swim, 90k bike and 21k run) in Muskoka in July.

Howell began her distance running with St. Clair College and after graduating wished to continue competing so she began training more competitively, adding biking and swimming to her regimen. She now competes for LPC (Loaring Personal Coaching) and enjoyed a successful inaugural season, finishing atop the podium twice while boasting several top three finishes as well.

In Sunday’s men’s sprint triathlon, Sanders completed the course in 53:55, followed up by Jessey Elf in second at 58:32, and Matt Gervais coming in at 1:00.29.

In the female division, it was Howell in 1:12.36, followed by Crissy Pastorius at 1:22.58 and Brynelle Glover at 1:23.55.

In the sprint duathlon (2.5k run, 20k bike ride and 5k run) it was Scott Finch finishing first in 1:01.01, followed by Shane Dumouchelle in 1:03.35 and Leamington’s own Julie Reiter in 1:10.34. The third male finisher was Rey Klassen in 1:13.46.

While Reiter was the first female finisher, she was followed up by Barbara Wasiluk-Stinner in 1:13.14 and Eva Breault in 1:21.32.

In the 5k run, it was two local youngsters who stole the show. First to

cross the line was Alec Fox in 22:53, with Rob Trymbulak close behind in 22:58 and George Dekker in 23:33.

Lily Steinhoff was the first female finisher at 24:57, followed by Sharon Pepper a minute later and Megan Primeau in 27:08.

Leamington’s Triathlon Weekend also included two Lake Erie open swim events – 1.5k and 3k.

In the 1.5k event it was Robert DeMarco leading all swimmers in 24:32, Samantha Maybee in 32:46, David Murphy in 34:15 and Tricia McNorton in 38:22.

This unidentified youngster is greeted at the finish line with a huge smile for her accomplishment.

The only three brave enough to face the chilly waters in the 3k event were Steve Bartel in 59:39, Meg Gregoire in 1:00.08 and Nicole Shaw in 1:00.25.

Saturday’s events, which featured 140 athletes of all ages, was also completed in rather drizzly conditions.

Taking home top finishes and bragging rights in the Pure Kids races were: Ages 6 & 7 Female: Finleigh Kane 9:48; Paytan Hamelin 9:51; Lilly Compeau 10:04.

Mosquito Minors win tournament Over the weekend the Leamington Lakers travelled to Chatham June 15-17 to participate in the Chatham Minor Baseball Association Mosquito Minor Tournament.

Zack Liebrock went 2-for-2 at the plate to lead the Lakers in hits.

In game 2 of the tourney the Lakers defeated the Thornhill Reds 15-5 on Saturday thanks in part to Tipper, who drove in four runners.

Carter Chorba led things off on the mound for the Lakers.

He allowed four hits and two runs over two innings, striking out two.

Carr led the Lakers by smacking a homer in the fourth inning. An early lead helped propel the Lakers to victory.

Grant Symons started the game on the hill for the Lakers.

He surrendered two runs on three hits over three innings, striking out two and walking zero. Joshua Joseph and Carr entered the game as relief, throwing two innings and one inning respectively.

Noah Friesen and Owen Deneau led the Lakers with two

hits apiece.

After round robin play the Lakers were seeded first overall giving them a rematch against the fourth seeded Thornhill Reds in the semi-finals. The game was tight until an explosive fourth inning when the Lakers scored thirteen runs, ultimately leading the Lakers to a 15-1 victory and punching their ticket to the championship final.

Tipper led things off on the pitcher’s mound for the Lakers. He surrendered one run on three hits over three innings, striking out five. Christopher Joseph was called to the mound to finish off the game, surrendering three hits over two innings, striking out three.

The Lakers scattered 14 hits in the semi-final game. C Joseph, Matthew Geisbrecht and Symons led the way with multiple hits for the Lakers. Trent Szorvas saw the ball well, leading the team with two walks.

The Lakers got things moving in the first inning of the championship final against Vaughan Vikings when J. Joseph singled on a 1-2 count, scoring one run. Symons was on the mound for the Lakers, surrendering four runs on six hits over three innings, striking out one. Chorba got the save on the mound in relief, allowing two runs, striking out five over four innings.

The Lakers tallied 16 hits in the game. Symons, Kurtis Joseph, Tipper, J. Joseph and Liebrock each had multiple hits in the final. The Lakers were sure-handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error.

The Lakers offensive firepower and near perfection in the field was just too much for the Vikings, with a 14-6 final giving the Lakers the championship.

Grandmother’s recognition comes 25 years later

Royce Van Every holds the birth certificate and 100th birthday certificate of his late grandmother Ida Belle Van Every. The centennial birthday certificate from the Canadian Prime Minister arrived a couple of weeks ago — nearly 25 years after Ida Belle’s 100th and 24 years after her death. The certificate signed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reads: “It is a great pleasure to send you best wishes and warmest congratulations on the occasion of your one hundredth birthday.”

Ida Belle turned 100 years of age on June 14, 1993 and despite members of the family contacting the Prime Minister’s office earlier that year, the cer-

The Leamington Junior Barons visited Tecumseh on Wednesday evening, June 13, and posted a 9-2 victory over the Tecumseh Rangers. The Barons are sponsored

by Howie’s Custom Coating.

Friday they fell 1-0 in a defensive battle to the Windsor Hawks (formerly Walker Homesite).

Sunday afternoon the locals met up again with Windsor at Soulliere Field and dropped a 3-2 decision.

Lucas Lamotte went the distance in the Tecumseh game, striking out 13 in seven innings and giving up only three hits.

Brett Enns and Brandon Teichroeb led the way offensively with three hits each. Anthony Fehr, Lamotte, Kyle Wall, Joe Funkenhauser and DJ Wales all had two hits.

Kameron Wall ignited the attack in the third inning with a bases loaded double that hit the 330 foot sign in right centre field, knocking in 3 runs.

On Friday night, fans were treated to a pitcher’s duel and defensive battle as the Barons gave up a run in the top of the sixth falling 1-0 to Windsor.

Kameron Wall went the distance and suffered the loss.

Fehr, Funkenhauser and Wales all had single tallies.

“Windsor is a very good team,” said coach John Wall.

“They have strong pitching and a defense that snuffed out any scoring threat we mounted.”

Sunday in Windsor in sweltering 34°C heat, the locals trailed 3-0 in the seventh inning, scored a pair of runs but fell one run short.

Fehr, Ryan Wall and Kyle Wall had hits for the Barons. R. Wall hit a long double to right field.

Dawson Iles registered the loss, giving up four hits in four innings. Noah Lauzon came on in relief allowing no runs and only two hits.

The next Junior Barons home game is Friday, June 22 when they host Wyoming at 7 p.m. at the Kinsmen Baseball Complex.

1933 Ford pickup truck like new again

Bob Vigneux of Amherstburg is the proud owner of a 1933 Ford pickup truck looking as new as the day it rolled off the end of the assembly line 85 years ago. It’s light brown with black fenders and yellow spoke wheels.

A flathead V8 supplies the power to a 3-speed floor shift transmission.

The truck originally came from the U.S. It was restored

by RM in Chatham in 1987 on a solid, rust-free original truck. Bob bought it four years ago from the person who bought it at an auction. The odometer shows just over 76,000 miles.

The original floor is still in the pickup bed with a new floor under it.

Just one year before this truck was built, Henry Ford took the biggest gamble of his life by attempting to bring out a V8 engine in the low price field in the middle of the Great Depression.

I’ve heard he spent $300-million of his own money to find a way of casting a V8 engine block in a single piece in order to reduce labour costs and speed up production.

Until then, V8 engines were expensive to build because the block was made of different sections that had to be bolted together.

The first Ford V8 engine for cars and trucks arrived in March of 1932. At the same time, a Model B Ford was available with a flathead four cylinder engine for those buyers who did not want a V8.

By 1933, it was obvious that Henry’s new V8 engine was a big hit. The Model B became the Model C until all four-cylinder engines were used up.

Sixty-four senior golfers enjoyed a beautiful, breezy day of golf on June 11 at Erie Shores.

The 50/50 draw winners were Rick Metz and Wayne Oehlerking.

Closest to the pin on #3 was Richard Reive and on #16 Neil Reimer. Both shots were just inches away from finding the hole.

Longest putt on #9 was made by Tom Miehl and on #18 by Dennis Clarke.

With each player in every foresome getting 1 point for a boggie, 2 points for a par and 4 points for a bird, the winning team with +9 points was Gord Anderson, Willie Krahn, Jack Russell and Wayne Wiseman. Second place with a +7 points was the team of Heinz Kosempel, Pat Amicone, Carl Young and Don Mensch. Third place with a +1 was the team of Dave Wilkinson, Bob Park, Don Chalcraft and Rick Metz. Fourth place, also at +1 but placed 4th by retrogression, was Bob Sutherland, Gary Gallagher, Richard Leslie and Paul Pringle.

Glen Rideout shot low round of the day with a fine 77.

He was followed by Wayne Wiseman’s 80.

Don Chalcraft birdied #1. Don Posliff had birds on #2 and #12. Richard Reive birdied #3. Heinz Kosempel had a bird on #4. Wayne Wiseman led the pack with 3 birds on #6, #12 and #13. Wray Pollock birdied #9, Glen Rideout #10, and Richard Leslie, Gary McRae and Ron Tremblay #12. Ron also had a bird on the tough 17th hole. Dick Segedin birdied #13, Carl Young #14, Bill Stackpoole #15, and Ron Tiessen, Fred Klassen and Neil Reimer finished the birds with theirs on #16.

The Erie Shores seniors league will continue to tee up at 9 a.m. until further notice. See you next week.
