Lyme disease: protect yourself

Lyme disease is an infectious disease spread through the bite of infected ticks.

The risk of getting a tick bite starts when the weather warms up in the spring, through until the fall. Ticks can also be active in the winter, if the winter is mild and there is not much snow. However, the greatest risk occurs during the spring and summer months.

Blacklegged ticks are most often found in forests as well as overgrown areas between woods and open spaces. Be-

cause tick populations are spreading, it is possible to be bitten outside of these locations.

The greatest risk of acquiring Lyme disease occurs where populations of ticks that carry the bacteria (B. burgdorferi) that causes Lyme disease have become established. In Ontario, there are currently a number of identified risk areas for Lyme disease.

The best way to protect against Lyme disease is to prevent tick bites. Here are some ways to protect yourself if you venture into wooded or forested areas within risk areas for Lyme disease: • Wear light coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants to spot ticks more easily.

• Tuck your shirt into your pants, and pull your socks over your pant legs.

• Use bug spray containing DEET or Icaridin on your skin and clothing (always follow the directions on the label).

• Walk on cleared paths or walkways.

• Shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to facilitate a prompt tick check and to remove ticks that have not attached yet.

• Do a daily full-body check for ticks on yourself and your children, especially in the hair, under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, behind the knees, between the legs and around the waist.

• If you find an attached tick, remove it with tweezers immediately. Removing it within 24-36 hours can help prevent infection.

• Do a tick check on your outdoor gear and your pets as they could carry ticks inside your home.

• Put dry outdoor clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill any remaining ticks. If your clothes are damp, additional drying time is needed. If you need to wash your clothes first, hot water is recommended. If the clothes cannot be washed in hot water, tumble dry on low heat for 90 minutes or high heat for 60 minutes.

Removing ticks within 24-36 hours after the tick bite usually prevents infection. You can remove a tick that has latched onto you by following these steps: 1. Using clean tweezers, grasp the head as close to the

Wednesday, August 9, 2017

skin as possible and slowly pull straight out. Try not to twist or crush the tick.

2. If the mouthparts break off and remain in the skin, remove them with tweezers or, if you are unable to remove them easily, leave them alone and let the skin heal. Consult your healthcare provider.

3. Wash the bite area and your hands with soap and water or disinfect with alcohol hand sanitizer.

4. Try to save the tick that bit you in a sealed container and record the date of the bite. Bring it to your medical appointment as it may help the doctor in their assessment of your illness.

5. Ticks can be disposed of in household garbage once they are dead, and they can be killed by drowning them in rubbing alcohol or by freezing for several hours.

Avoid squashing ticks with exposed fingers.

6. Don’t try to remove the tick by using nail polish, petroleum jelly or heat to burn the tick.

Contact the local public health unit for details on the tick identification and testing program available in your area/ how to submit a tick for testing.

Symptoms of Lyme disease can be different from person to person. Early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease usually start three to 30 days after you have been bitten by an infected blacklegged tick. Most people experience mild, flulike symptoms soon after being bitten, while a small number may have more serious symptoms, sometimes weeks after the bite. If left untreated, more severe symptoms may occur and can last from months to years.

Two-vehicle collision

On August 5, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Leamington Fire Services and Essex Windsor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to a two-vehicle personal injury motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Essex County Roads 34 and 37, east of Leamington.

A Freightliner truck and a Toyota van collided at the intersection sending two adults and three children in the van to hospital with varying injuries, some considered life threatening.

The intersection of Essex County Road 34 at County Road 37 was closed while the OPP’s Technical Collision Investigators completed their investigation.

Taxpayers’ Ombudsman examining CRA’s legal warnings when collecting unpaid taxes

Charges laid for child pornography

Members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, Technological Crime Unit and the Essex County Detachment have arrested and charged a Leamington man after receiving a report from a social media outlet that an unknown person had uploaded an image of child sexual abuse to the internet.

On July 31, 2017 police executed a search warrant at a Leamington residence. As a result of this investigation, two computer systems and a cellphone were seized which contained images of child sexual abuse.

Police arrested a 33-year-old Leamington man. He is charged with two counts of Possession of Child Pornography and one count of Accessing Child Pornography.

The investigation is continuing.

The Taxpayers’ Ombudsman, Sherra Profit, is undertaking an examination into the systemic issue of the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) practices regarding providing legal warnings to taxpayers when collecting unpaid taxes.

The Ombudsman has received complaints alleging that the CRA is taking legal action, such as freezing bank accounts or garnishing wages, without notifying taxpayers first.

The examination is focusing on how the CRA notifies taxpayers before taking legal action to recover tax debts, and whether the CRA makes information available to the public about the collections measures it can take.

After the examination, the Taxpayers’ Ombudsman will make her findings public in a report.

4-H Cloverbuds enjoy Kids Safety Day

The 4-H Cloverbuds met on July 5, a nice sunny day for learning safety in Comber.

At the Kids Safety Day there were eight different stations. In the sun safety station the group learned about the importance of sunscreen, sunglasses and hats. They all got to make a sunbead bracelet where the beads turn colour in the sun to show if sunscreen is needed. Members also received a sun sensitive Frisbee. It starts out white and changes to a deep orange if it is in the sun, indicating that you need to have sunscreen on.

In the tractor station the Cloverbuds learned about tractor safety and got to sit in a big Challenger.

They really liked the railway safety station and learned how fast trains go and how long it takes them to stop.

In the emergency preparedness station, members talked about what to have on hand in case of a big emergency like a tornado.

Lakeshore Fire had their smoke trailer there and it was so interesting to have a simulated fire in the trailer and climb out the window to escape.

The Cloverbuds saw “Norm” the bull calf in the animal station. Norm is a 4-H calf and members learned about Norm’s comfort zones and what to do and what not to do when approaching animals.

In the chemical station the group saw that many household chemicals resemble things like pop, candy and even water.

There was also an ambulance station and the Cloverbuds got to test their blood pressure and see the inside of the ambulance.

The members all received safety day shirts to wear and enjoyed a delicious lunch of hotdogs, vegetables, chips, chocolate milk and ice cream. At the end of the day they each received a take-home bag with lots of things including armbands, bracelets, pencils, mints, first aid kits and sunglasses. It was a fun day of learning about safety.

Big day for a big guy

Monumental birthdays come along once in a blue moon and the blue moon is shining brightly over the Leamington area this week.

In fact, in my family alone, we have several birthdays in these first two weeks of August, from my son Kyle to my nephew Wayne, to my sister-in-law Marilyn, who doesn’t just celebrate a ‘birth-day’, she has a whole birthday month.

With apologies to all of the people in my life who celebrated birthdays this week and last, there is a famous person among us who turns 40 on Thursday and I thought I should acknowledge that.

Known in this area as the unofficial ambassador of Leamington, or sometimes the ‘Sultan of Cheeseburgers’, he goes by several names by many people.

Wes McDowell has been a popular visitor to many offices and retailers throughout Leamington for many years.

The size of this particular birthday is only matched by his size 18 shoes.

When Wes was a kid, he spent a lot of time at the old Leamington arena.

In fact, I was on the minor hockey board of directors when Wes was playing house league hockey in the system.

Many people aren’t aware of Wes’ actual hockey career, but he did play in the old Leamington Minor Hockey system.

At some point, he was asked to be a trainer or assistant coach and he hung up the skates for good.

To say Wes is a fixture at the current arena would be an understatement.

An avid fan of the Leamington Flyers, Wes has also been a huge supporter of minor hockey teams in this area for years.

Many think of a supporter as being a sponsor or someone who donates money to these teams. With Wes, that’s not the case, but nobody can question his physical support for local hockey teams. He’ll be there rooting on the locals kids every chance he gets. And he’s always around when the men’s leagues play.

Every kid who has ever played any amount of hockey in this area, knows exactly who is entering the building when the ‘Ayatollah of Coca-Cola’ arrives.

His booming voice and giant smile precede him as he walks the hallways and corridors of the local rinks.

Wes also played minor ball in Leamington.

Legend has it that he came to bat one hot summer day with the bases juiced. It would turn out to be his only brush

Wednesday, August 9, 2017

with homerun fame, but umpire Warren Dunford ruled his over-the-fence blast a foul ball. Just like that, his grand slam became a long foul ball.

After that, he decided he wanted to be an umpire himself, apparently to right the wrong he’d been handed by the aforementioned Mr. Dunford.

So the association outfitted him with a blue umpire uniform and he worked a few games over the course of one season. According to long-time umpire-in-chief Terry Misener, Wes held his own and didn’t do too badly at all. He had practiced his calls for weeks and I’m sure he was delighted to use them.

As an adult, Wes has managed to befriend pretty much everyone and knows them by name. I know when I bump into him, he asks how each of my kids are doing, and for some people, he goes right down the list to their pets, which he also knows by name.

His birthday will stretch far into next week. I’m sure he has engagements set up for days. There were rumours that there was going to be a big bash at the Kiwanis camp but I think that fell by the wayside.

I heard he went to East Side Mario’s last week with the Lamotte family to celebrate his upcoming milestone. I have also heard that he absolutely destroyed the record for the most all-you-can-eat bread loaves consumed by one person at that particular establishment.

Last year, for his 39th, he took part in the casino buffet at Caesars Windsor, where he brought $5 of his own money to gamble, bumped into John Hammond, who also gave him $5. He played the slots and came home with $10.60. That’s a successful trip in my book.

And the stories are plenty.

When Minor ball trivia night rolls around in February, Wes is always there, lending a hand and acting as security so the questions don’t get tarnished.

Many can relate to jumping into their cars and finding Wes already planted in the passenger seat, yelling “Shotgun!” at the top of his lungs.

When all the dust settles, and Leamington’s newest 40-year-old has blown out that forest fire full of candles on the numerous birthday cakes he’ll encounter, life will go back to the normal routine for Wes McDowell and for the rest of us.

So if you see him walking up the street (and I know you will), don’t forget to shout “Happy Birthday Wes”, I’m sure he’ll be thrilled.

It warms the heart to know that so many in this community are willing to reach out and help him celebrate this monumental day, even if by a simple drive-by greeting. After all, he is our ambassador.

Happy Birthday, big guy.

Gleaming black 1936 Ford five-window coupe Over 30 years ago, Jerry Lucier of Windsor purchased a 1936 Ford five-window coupe from Michigan. He installed a 400 cubic inch small block Chev V8, 3-speed Turbo 350 transmission, Maverick rear end, independent front suspension with Pinto components, modern gauges in the original dash, after-market wheels, and a new yellow paint job.

Jerry put the car on the road in 1987 and drove it for several years before selling it to Roland Guilbault on Point Pelee Drive, whose daughter operates Paula’s Fish Place restaurant. In 1994, Jim Williams was driving by when he saw Roland’s ’36 Ford coupe with a For Sale sign, stopped to take a look, and bought the car. Jim says Jerry did excellent work and the car has never let him down.

Jim took the car to Classic Collision on Hwy 77 north of town, where it was stripped down to bare metal (the body almost totally rust-free) before applying the new gleaming black finish. The bumpers were also painted to match the body, giving the car that cool monochromatic look.

Jim installed a Mustang II-style front end from Paul Horton as well as seat belts with shoulder harness. He also replaced the ’39 Ford taillights with original ’36 taillights but retained the locking gas door on the left rear fender installed by Jerry Lucier. The original gas cap was on the stem holding the driver’s side taillight.

of cool air as he drives along the highway. Jim says the incoming air lightly brushes the top of your hair as it wafts through the car.

The 1936 Ford was the last year for a fabric insert roof before Ford switched to a solid steel roof in 1937. The fabric roofs often leaked as the car got older, and some motorists drove while holding an umbrella during downpours.

Jim has sealed his roof to make sure no water gets in.

Nineteen-thirty-six was also the last year that Ford had a one-piece flat windshield, a 4-piece side-opening hood, and headlights mounted on the front fenders. When Jim’s car was new, it came equipped with Henry Ford’s legendary flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches and 90 horsepower. The Windsor factory list price for a 2-passenger 1936 Ford business coupe was $645.

We hope you plan to attend the Cruisin’ 17 Car Show at the Roma Club in Leamington on Sunday, August 20, which always attracts over 200 collector vehicles. If you see Jim Williams with his ’36 Ford coupe, be sure to say hello.

The reason the Royal suspended the World Soybean Championship is unknown to me. Maybe changing social values are to blame. Women today can shine in their own right. They have more options than my mother, who knocked off her socks – or, should I say, her nylons – so her husband could win a prize at the Royal. And that, in my mind, is a good thing.

Union Gas planning new pipeline

By Bryan Jessop A new natural gas pipeline may soon be installed to meet the needs of what Union Gas describes as the fast-growing greenhouse industry in Leamington and Kingsville.

The planning process for the new pipeline reached the public consultation step Tuesday, Aug. 1 with an open house at the Kingsville Arena Complex. There, a steady flow of interested and concerned residents and landowners gathered to offer their input on an assortment of potential routes the proposed 20-inch diameter pipeline could take in connecting with the previously installed Panhande Pipeline section running east-west through Lakeshore. Depending on which of the paths being studied is selected, the new line will run from between 15 and 20 km in length, ending at one of two locations along Graham Side Road in Kingsville — a new valve site at Concession Road 3 East or an existing valve site at Concession Road 2 East, both just over two kilometres west of Ruthven.

Another public open house hosted between Union Gas and Stantec Consulting Ltd. took place 24 hours after the Kingsville gathering in Woodslee. Feedback from the two forums will be used in an evaluation to select the preferred corridor and route of the new project, to run at a cost of $95 million to $115 million. After a second information session takes place in the fall of this year, the selected route will be confirmed and an environmental report will be prepared.

From there, Union Gas will submit a completed application for the project to the Ontario Energy Board.

Union Gas Windsor-Chatham district manager Sean Collier explained that the

the open house in Kingsville were eager to voice their concerns, many were also satisfied with the answers to their questions.

“They were very specific in what they guaranteed,” said Sharon Hartley, who operates Hartley Farms along with Vaughn Hartley along County Road 34. “Being on farmland, we were concerned that they might cut through the tile. They were very up front with us.”

“They guaranteed that the tile wouldn’t get cut,” Vaughn added. “They told us that everything would remain functional after they were finished.”

Union Gas has also been in contacted with local municipalities regarding the new project, including Kingsville, Lakeshore and Leamington. Collier explained that the respective councils have been receptive to the project.

“We’ve had very positive responses,” he noted. “They want to be sure they’re being consulted and we’ve developed a very strong relationship with the municipalities. They have a very high level of awareness with regards to what’s going on.”

Collier further explained that the pipeline exten-

company expects to wait about a year before hearing the OEB’s decision on the application and if approved, will begin construction in the spring of 2019. The current projected timeline pegs the completion of construction at a point in the fall of 2019, followed by a site clean up, restoration and post-construction monitoring process that will carry on into the spring of 2020.

Collier noted that public input from affected property owners — as well as feedback from Indigenous populations and the potential impact on agriculture and the environment — are among the factors being considered before a corridor and route are selected.

“We live in these communities too — we know the importance of community support,” he stated.

“We want to pick the route that makes the most sense to landowners.”

The company reported that initial public feedback has been largely favourable.

“The reaction is positive. People recognize the benefits natural gas brings to their community and are open to working with us,” Collier stated.

The natural gas pipeline project is in the planning stages with the objective of meeting growing demand in residential, commercial and industrial sectors.

sion from the completed Panhandle project will address residential and commercial demand as well as the greenhouse industry.

With construction ongoing for a similar project from Dawn Euphemia in Lambton County to Dover Centre west of Chatham, Union Gas is currently fielding a growing need for natural gas across Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent. Collier explained that such construction projects have proven economically beneficial to surrounding communities, noting that the LambtonKent project is currently providing an economic boost in Wallaceburg.

“Graceland” to be presented on 40th anniversary of Elvis’ death

By Pat Bailey Apparently Elvis has not left the building – well, memories of the pelvis rotating, rock and roll legend anyway.

And on the 40th anniversary of the legend’s death, The Bank Theatre will remember the rock and roll hero with a two-woman play, ‘Graceland’, set in June 1982.

But it will be oh so much more.

On August 16 the evening will be dedicated to all things Elvis Presley, including a 50-minute play featuring Ruth Owens and Jennifer Blom as two women camping out in an effort to be the first to enter their hero’s mansion, ‘Graceland’.

The banter is fast and furious as the women trade jabs while waiting for the doors to open.

Owens, who is no newcomer to the stage, plays the middle-aged woman Bev, challenging the much younger Rootie, played by Blom, while waiting for the doors to open.

And the fun will not stop there.

Owens said it will also include an Elvis influenced smorgasbord of his favourites, including all things peanut butter, chicken, ribs and Elvis coffee.

She said the actual menu is still under wraps but she is excited to see what Ray’s Ribhouse comes up with on the menu.

The partnership, she said, was a natural. With Elvis album covers displayed throughout the restaurant, Owens said she assumed owner Ray Youssef was an Elvis fan and approached him about the dinner-theatre show idea.

“He immediately said yes,” she said, “no hesitation whatsoever.”

Owens is excited for the evening and promises it will be a light-hearted evening of fun.

“For those not familiar with The Bank Theatre,” she said, “it offers a chance to try the theatre, while supporting its fundraiser for the Starlight Stage.”

But what would an Elvis celebration be without a little

Jennifer Blom (left) and Ruth Owens rehearse for their twowoman play “Graceland”, which opens on Aug. 16, the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ death, at The Bank Theatre.

Elvis music? That will be taken care of with a little Elvis karaoke from 9 to 11 p.m., hosted by DJ Doug Hunter.

Owens is clearly excited about reprising her role, one she played 20 years ago at a Kingsville Migration Hall production of ‘Graceland’.

As a true Elvis fan, as well as a past visitor to the actual Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, Owens can barely contain her excitement.

Despite not being born yet when Elvis was in his heyday, Blom is equally excited.

The 31-year-old relative newcomer to the area and the local theatre, a self-proclaimed ‘bug doctor’ for greenhouse operators, now calls Leamington home and performed in her first show with The Bank Theatre last May. She is looking forward to the challenge of performing with just one other person on stage.

Owens said as guests enter they will be greeted with the Paul Simon song ‘Graceland’ playing in the background.

While the actual anniversary date of Elvis’ death, Aug. 16, is the grand, all-encompassing production, Owens said there will also be several performances of just the twowoman play.

Tickets for the opening 40th anniversary night on Aug. 16 are $25 and all inclusive. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the action set to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday (Aug. 17-19), the play will be performed at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (Aug. 19 and 20).

Leamington supports young leukemia patient

By Bryan Jessop When it comes to showing how it’s done in supporting local cancer patients, the Leamington area put on a ‘clinic’.

The monthly Canadian Blood Services Donor Clinic hosted by the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex was held in honour and support of 12-year-old Alex Archer, the son of Dr. Karen Archer, owner and operator of the dentistry practice located at 57 Erie Street North. This month’s CBS clinic set out with a goal of collecting 115 units of blood, each measured at just under 500 ml. By the time the six-hour event concluded early on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 2 a sum of 118 units were donated — 103 per cent of the target.

“It’s really great to see people coming out to support the clinic. It’s really important,” explained Marisa Gatfield, CBS territory manager of Windsor-Essex County and the city of Chatham. “We’re very happy with this month’s turnout.”

Gatfield explained that

Joanne Lehn and Dr. Karen Archer await the screening process during a Canadian Blood Services donor clinic at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Wednesday, Aug. 2. The monthly clinic was held in honour and support of 12-year-old Alex Archer — Karen’s son — a local patient of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The clinic set its sites on a goal of collecting 115 units, which it surpassed with 118.

blood donation participation rates are normally lower than usual during the weeks immediately preceding and following holiday weekends. Fittingly, the difference in meeting this month’s goal was made by “Team Archer,” a group of five Dr. Karen Archer Family Dental Care employees plus Karen herself. Members of the team both donated blood and attended the clinic for about four hours in support of Alex. Gatfield explained that in the future, the CBS would like to see more community and business groups rally together to make multiple donations at the same clinic.

On December 24 of 2008,

Alex was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of three.

Known as ALL, the condition affects the blood and bone marrow with rapidlygrowing lymphocytes that cause an accumulation of immature, malfunctioning cells. Treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Western Ontario in London brought Alex’s cancer into remission, where chemotherapy ended in March of 2012.

Eleven months later, Alex experienced a relapse of ALL, and was again subject to treatment until remission was achieved in August of 2015. Another relapse and the third discovery of ALL occurred

in January of this year, although remission was again achieved through treatment.

From there, a bone marrow transplant was recommended and then performed at SickKids Hospital in Toronto on Thursday, June 1.

Doctors deemed the transplant successful and Alex was later removed from transplant isolation into Toronto’s Ronald McDonald House.

Over the past several years of treatment, the Cottam resident has required several blood transfusions to maintain energy levels and avoid infections and bleeding. The August 2 clinic in Leamington featured a large poster near the gymnasium’s entrance signed with encouraging messages for Alex by donors. A total of 138 local residents attended the clinic to donate blood, 20 of whom were turned away following the stringent CBS screening process.

The next blood donor clinic at the LKRC will take place Wednesday, Sept. 6 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“It’s really great to see people coming out to support the clinic.

It’s really important.”

No Drama at Two Creeks

No Drama will take to the Two Creeks stage on Sunday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m.

No Drama is a genuine rock ’n roll band. Their covers include such songs as Taking Care of Business, Born to be Wild and Honky Tonk Woman, not to mention their mix of country storytelling songs. Their talent is evident as soon as you hear their rhythm and strong guitar chords, especially as they know how to provide clear vocals.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets or cushions, and be prepared by bringing comfortable shoes too – you might just find yourself up dancing quite a bit, as No Drama knows how to entertain their audience and keep them rocking and rolling.

The concerts at Two Creeks Conservation Area are free, but the hat is passed for donations to help offset costs. Refreshments are provided by 1st Wheatley Scouts.

Two Creeks is located at 21638 Kent Rd. 1, just north of Wheatley.

Progs golf report

Erie Shores golf course was the place to be for 60 proggers on August 2. The scores were hot, hotter and hottest. The hottest golfer, with an insane +13, was Frank Gow. This is from a guy who can’t see where his ball goes after he hits it. It’s like playing with Stevie Wonder. Stevie doesn’t miss a key and Frank didn’t miss a fairway or green.

He must have bat sonar. Is it possible that Frank is the real Batman?

The hotter player was Bob Dick with an amazing +11. It does help to see where the ball goes. The hot golfer in the group was Robert Hudders with a very respectable +10.

He didn’t have to dig himself out of any holes. These golfers won $20, $15 and $10 respectively. Honourable mention goes to Bill Ruiter with a +9 and Neil Sawatzky with a +8. They had high hopes in winning some money in this category but it was not meant to be.

Team C ran away with it when three of the high pluses landed on the same team. $10 winners include Mel Davey, Mel Pace, Norm Beattie, Neil Reime, Neil Sawatzky, Ollie Mastronardi, Orest Hrynewich, Pete Andary, Richard Reive, Dick Segedin, Bob Dick, Robert Hudders, Bob Park, Roger Coter and Ron Koop. $17 was awarded for each skin. Recipients include Robert Hudders, Dick Segedin, Mel Davey, Pete Andary and Fred Klassen. Pete notched an eagle on #15. Congrats that your putter didn’t let you down. Fred earned enough money to buy some more straws for when there is another party at his rental property.

I played with Neil Sawatzky, Steve O’Hara and Bob Park. Neil cruised through his round with 5 birdies. Steve excitedly paid attention. The ball blasted off like a jet while my ball was more like a hot air balloon.

I don’t want to misalign Bob Park in any way. In watching, Bob was misaligned, misdirected and mistake ridden. He was also misunderstood, misquoted and mystified.

For the first nine, his drives did not draw as usual but went straight right, into the trees.

He just kept shaking his head.

The term for the week was “divot.” It is the piece of turf scooped from the ground by a stroke made with an iron. Many players are frustrated golf architects, and they welcome the chance to try their hand at course design by leaving the divot holes unrepaired, thus creating unexpected and devilish little sand traplets and mini-bunkers right in the middle of the fairway to provide interesting challenges for their fellow golfers.

The 2nd annual Ladies Summer Swing Golf Tournament was held July 20 at Orchard View golf course. The winning team, for the second year in a row, was, left to right, Carol Quinn, Linda Segedin, Lynn Towle and Debbie Dunmore.

On Thursday, July 20, Orchard View hosted the 2nd annual Ladies Summer Swing Golf Tournament. Eighty-eight ladies enjoyed coffee and pastries before heading out in the heat for a fun day of golf.

The tournament format was not the usual Texas Scramble. Instead, everyone played their own ball for all 18 holes and the scores were calculated afterwards by the course golf pro, Dave Bell. For the first 6 holes, only the best score counted on each hole. On holes 7-12, the two best scores counted, and the last 6 holes, the 3 best scores counted.

After all calculations were made, the winning team for the second year in a row was Lynn Towle, Carol Quinn, Linda Segedin and Debbie Dunmore. would welcome a visit from you at Just one point behind was Mary Fehr, Denise Michaud, Terri Taylor and Ruth Drummond.

After golf the ladies enjoyed wine tasting and a delicious lunch. The theme of the day was The Bounty of the County, and the tournament committee – Lindsay Friesen, Joan Kettle and Sharon Bee – also contacted some local farmers in the area and were able to make up delicious veggie baskets for all the participants to take home and ( 1 -8 7 7 -2 2 5-9111) enjoy.

Rain on Quebec’s parade

A little over a month ago, I found myself seated at my dining room table addressing the nighttime munchies I often get. I was hunched over a bowl of Mini Wheats, Jessop’s shoveling away when the streetlight on the other side of Journal the road caught my eye.

It’s a very bright streetlight that replaced a dimmer unit a few months earlier. When I’m watching TV in the basement, it often fools me into thinking a neighbour with his high beams on is pulling out of his driveway. Anyway, it wasn’t really the light itself that caught my eye from the other side of the dining room window. It was a massive gathering of Mayflies (or June bugs or fishflies or shadflies or whatever you want to call them) swarming around the light.

I found the smelly but harmless conglomeration of winged insects kind of amusing, first because they triggered a memory of my days working for The Wallaceburg News. One day there, about 10 years ago, a fellow reporter who weeks earlier had made the move from Toronto freaked out because she saw one perched atop her computer. She sat behind me, so judging by the shriek she uttered, I initially figured she discovered a cobra in her desk drawer or a squirrel-sized scorpion crawling across her keyboard. She had literally jumped out of her chair by the time I turned around.

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I realized the source of her unparalleled terror was a Mayfly (“June bugs” are actually a species of beetle). Apparently, they’re not common in Toronto. She took another three or four quick steps backward when I picked it up by the wings and I briefly considered chasing her around the room with it like a malicious little eight-year-old taunting his younger sister with a booger, but thought better of it.

Anyway, the amusement didn’t stop with the flashback of the city girl terrified by the most harmless creature on Earth. Shortly after I noticed the swarm, it started to rain — heavily. I’m not sure of the precise size or density ratio of Mayfly versus larger-than-average raindrop, but I assumed it was something like a human adult getting caught in a sudden shower of drops the size of tractor tires.

You’d think that swarm of insects would scatter and head for the shelter of the nearest tree, right?

Wrong.

It seems the common Mayfly’s supply of intellect is as short as its post-nymph lifespan.

They continued to circle the streetlight, oblivious to the immediate danger that had literally began falling from the sky. One by one, they were picked off like a school of tuna being attacked by a pod of dolphins (look it up on YouTube; it’s pretty cool). A few minutes later, their numbers had thinned to the point where I could count them. A short time after that, the light was surrounded by nothing but the rain itself.

Right about now, Quebec City’s NHL fans must feel like observers hoping to see those Mayflies find their way into the lens of that streetlight during a rainstorm. There have been PLENTY of rumours suggesting a struggling franchise may be on its way to QC’s new arena to mark the rebirth of the Nordiques. In recent weeks and months, the relocation candidates have included the Phoenix Coyotes, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes and even the New York Islanders.

Well, it seems like those sources of hope are dropping like, well, Mayflies in a heavy rainstorm. First, the Panthers suckered Broward County, Fla. with successful “the economic impact of our disappearance would be devastating” scare tactics. Duped completely, the Broward Commission handed the team an $86 million subsidy that’ll maintain a favourable lease of the BB&T Centre until 2028.

Mayfly, meet oversized raindrop.

In the never-ending Coyotes saga, Andrew “Borrow Away” Barroway took out a few hefty leases to buy out the team’s minor owners, including the chronic screen door on a submarine CALL US FIRST! that was Anthony Leblanc.

it does reduce Quebec’s chances of snagging the team. So too does the situation with the NBA’s Houston Rockets.

Allow me to explain.

The Rockets’ owner, Les Alexander, does NOT want his team to share the Toyota Centre with an NHL team. Otherwise, the city would be the perfect fit for the next NHL team, at least in the eyes of Gary Bettman and the like. It’s by far the biggest city without an NHL franchise and an instant rivalry with the Dallas Stars would be a no brainer. Well, Alexander now has the Rockets up for sale and if the buyer is hockey friendly, the Coyotes could find a new home (if necessary) that wouldn’t mess up the NHL’s conference alignment. Again, not looking good for QC. What about the Hurricanes? As I mentioned recently, Peter Karmanos seems to have found a buyer who’ll actually keep the team in Raleigh. It sounds crazy, but Chuck Greenberg might agree to a price of $450-$500 million. He’s just got to scape the funds together within a certain amount of time and ta-da — Mayfly, raindrop… crash!

The Islanders? Sure, Barclay’s is a horrible place for hockey and attendance is suffering.

There’s next to no chance for a return to Nassau and Barclay’s wants them out. However, a request for proposal (RFP) to build a barn in Belmont (which I guess is somewhere in the greater NYC area) is expected and even if THAT doesn’t pan out, other Big Apple options will be pursued LONG before the team heads for La Belle Province.

Oh, and Seattle has plans for big upgrades on Key Arena while candidates for the upcoming mayoral election are under pressure to come up with a plan to bring back the Supersonics. If a suitable home is found/built for an NBA team, it’ll suit the NHL just fine too. This would be a few years down the road, but Bettman would certainly rather play the waiting game than fall back on Quebec City for either expansion or relocation.

So Videotron Centre will essentially become Canada’s next Copps Coliseum on the list of “build it and they WON’T come.” Sorry QC, lights out (at least until 2029).

We are sad to announce the passing of our caring mother, Alice Crawford, on June 28th, 2017.

We watched as cancer, the terrible disease, took our mother. As difficult as it was, we take comfort in knowing mom isn't suffering any longer.

On behalf of our family, we would like to thank all who attended mom's service at Kingsville Community Church. The amount of love and support was incredible. It was a true testament of how many lives mom touched.

A very special thank you to Pastor Tom Harmon. We would also like to thank the people who brought desserts to the meal after the service, to everyone who made meals for us during mom's illness and to all those who donated to mom's church.

Mom, your memory will live on with all of our families.

rolet in LaSalle, Sauve’s Home Centre in Belle River, Adam Keller Motors in Harrow and JH Restorations and both PartSource locations in Windsor. Rules and advance ticket pricing are displayed under the “Spectator” heading of the website www.windsorweekend.ca.

Racing classes this year will include Quick 8, Quick 8 Outlaw, Open Comp, Bracket 1, Bracket 2, Bikes and Sleds, Junior Dragsters, Trophy, Ladies Only Trophy, Young Guns and the more recently added High Roller. The High Roller class is open to any vehicle type running 10.99 or faster with delay boxes permitted. With many of the region’s racers heading to Pittsburgh for a National Open event for the same weekend, this year’s Windsor Weekend will not include an Extreme 32 program.

The two Quick 8 divisions will run the shorter eighthmile distance this year, a change Fram explained appeals to spectators. The Quick 8 Outlaw division is open to any ‘door car’ from Windsor-Essex County while Quick 8 rules are more stringent, allowing a maximum tire size of 28” x 10.5” and fewer modifications.

“We twist the rules around a bit to keep the 2,000 horsepower guys from ruining everyone else’s day,” said Fram, who is also owner and operator of Chuck’s Speed Shop on Walker Road.

The event’s primary organizer explained that while Quick 8 competitors are again keeping their plans and vehicle details under wraps, he expects an even, competitive class where the field’s middle-of-the-pack racers should be running elapsed times of approximately 9.5 seconds.

Rules and payouts for each class are available on the Windsor Weekend website. Some divisions will complete in ‘heads up’ format, where head-to-head vehicles start at the same time regardless of speeds and elapsed times recorded in previous or time trial runs. Others, which cater to slower cars, run as bracket races where the slower of two side-byside drivers is given a head start based on the difference between the two dial in times. Dial ins — displayed on vehicle windows — are the times a driver predicts his or her car will run during elimination rounds. The bracket racer who runs closest to his or her dial in without running a quicker than the posted time — known as ‘breaking out’ — advances to the next round.

In addition to the customary preparation process, Fram is also fielding rumours circulating that this year’s Windsor Weekend will be the last.

“It was mentioned during the (pre-season) drivers’ meeting that the track is for sale and some people started panicking,” Fram explained. “He (GBM owner Paul Spriet) won’t allow it to close. The logistics involved in turning it into anything other than a racetrack would be astronomical. I’ve got all confidence that the track will continue to operate and as long as there’s a Grand Bend Motorplex, there’ll be a Windsor Weekend.

“Yes, the track is for sale, and some people think that means it’ll close — that’s the least likely scenario. Even if it sat empty, I’d rent it for the weekend.”

In recent years, Leamington’s Danny Mastronardi and his heavily modified 2012 Chevrolet Camaro have been known as one of Windsor Weekend’s fastest heads up entries. Tony Youssef, also of Leamington, plans to return for 2017 in an attempt to defend the Bracket 1 title he captured in 2016 with his 1967 Chevrolet Nova.

Erie Shores holds 38th annual Senior Men’s Invitational

It was another hot and steamy afternoon this year at the 38th Annual Senior Men’s Invitational, this past Wednesday, Aug. 2, with 104 of Essex and Kent counties’ finest golfers playing at the Erie Shores Golf Course that had beautifully manicured fairways with fast and smooth rolling greens and where only 24 players managed to score in the 70s.

Although no one was able to break par this year, Paul Nielsen and Jim McCallum, both members of the Kingsville Golf Club and both previous winners of the invitational, managed to shoot impressive even par rounds of 71 to force a sudden-death playoff. However, it was a quick affair this year, with Nielsen sinking a long birdie putt to edge McCallum by a single stroke on the first playoff hole.

Finishing tied for third spot, just one stroke back at one over par 72, was two-time defending champion Ward Hutchins of Erie Shores along with Michael Stanko of Sutton Creek.

Ken Steingart of Erie Shores and Rob Widmeyer of Pike Creek were next with their two over par scores of 73, while four other players, including Ken Cobby of Erie Shores, Ken Greenwood of Beach Grove, Herb Cowen of Pike Creek and Wayne College of Kingsville, all finished another two shots back at 4 over par 75.

Tom Cowen and George Forrest, both of Pike Lake, along with Terry Austin of London Highland, Frank Iatonna of Ambassador and Erie Shores members Kevin Babkirk and Neil Sawatzky were all next tied for 11th place with their rounds of 5 over par 76.

A trio of Erie Shores members featuring Steve O’Hara, Bill Ruiter and Ken Segedin, along with Vic Charron of Maple City, all tied for 17th best with scores of 77, while Todd Hodgson of Erie Shores and Barry Kenshol of Fox Glen were next at 78. The only two other golfers managing to break 80 with their 8 over par scores of 79s were Ambassador players Joe Ivan and Scott Irwin.

The best low net score of the day, a 6 under par net 65, was recorded by Jim McCallum, while Jerry Arthur of Pike Creek was next at net 66. Bill Kelly of Erie Shores was third best with a net 67. Other notables included Doug Kelvin of Sutton Creek, Bill Conn of Erie Shores and Lionel Lamontagne of Sun & Lake who had net 68s and Gene Pavan of Kingsville who had a net 69.

The Invitational was another great success this year with its largest participation in recent years and continues to be one of the top drawing senior invitational events in Windsor and Essex and Kent counties, thanks to the financial support of the Friends and Sponsors of Erie Shores, a generous group of 17 members and businesses who support all of Erie Shores major events.

FREE Next year’s Seniors InviESTIMATES tational is set to take place at Erie Shores on Wednesday, August 1 with a shotgun tee-off start at 11:00 a.m.

Any male golfer of the age Quality New Construction & Renovations 50 years or over by that date is welcome to play. More jamie.kaiserconstruction@outlook.com information will be on the Erie Shores website in the spring of 2018 at www.erieJAMIE KAISER shoresgolf.com

Brooklyn is a gentle soul. She needed medical treatment when she arrived and the sweet girl is so tolerant with all the poking that needed to be done. She is so gentle with the vet and staff it’s hard not to fall in love with her. She enjoys being around other dogs here at the shelter but would not do well with cats.

Hondo likes to make his daily inspections and is an affectionate little guy. He needs a little bit to warm up but once he does, he is all in for head scratches and back rubs.

His previous owner said he gets along with dogs who act appropriately. He did come in with Boomer and we would love to see them go home together.

Lakers win two

The Leamington Midget Lakers beat the Walker Homesite Minors 12 - 3 and the Chatham Diamonds 9 - 1 in Sun Parlour Midget League play last week.

Kyle Wall started on the mound and earned the win against Walker. Brett Enns came on in relief and pitched the final five innings. Enns was perfect pitching to only 15 batters and retiring them all in order.

“Enns was a nice surprise” said coach Chris Lamotte. “We haven’t had him throw much this season and he rose to the occasion.”

Ryan Wall, Derrck Antunes and Kyle Wall led the Lakers offensively with two hits each.

James Hiebert had an odd day at the plate. He scored twice yet never had an offcial at bat.

He walked his first two appearances and was hit by a pitch the other two. Hiebert played shortstop and was flawless.

Against Chatham Kameron Wall earned the win with six innings of strong pitching giving up only four hits and striking out four. The lanky hurler dominated at Fergie Jenkins Field in Chatham. Dawson Iles came on in relief and retired the three batters he faced.

The top of the Lakers batting order (Brett Enns, Kyle Wall, Ryan Wall and Anthony Fehr) led the offense with two hits each in the game played in windy conditions.

The Midgets are sponsored by Howie’s Custom Coating.

Erie Shores Thursday night league results

The Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club saw a new team take over first place standings as the Bush Wackers jumped to the front with their 18 point swing that gave them 193 points and a 2 point lead over the Sons of Pitches who picked up 13 points for a grand total of 191.

The Duffers and Bluffers are just a single stroke back with their 190 points. That gives them a 1 point edge over the fourth place team Primo who sit at 189 after only picking up 11 points in this past week’s play.

The Weapons of Grass Destruction moved out of the basement with a respectable 16-point evening and a 168 total, while the Killers are back in last place 7 behind with 161 points.

In the individual play, Mike Ferreira had the best gross score firing a 3 under par 32, while Greg Zimney and George Bergen were right behind with 2 under par rounds of 33. Dave Owens was also below par with a 1 under score of 34. Brian Humphreys, Ward Hutchins and Scott Wilkinson all finished another stroke back at even par 35.

In the low net category, George Bergen topped all players with an incredible net 7 under par 28, with Mario Sonego right behind with an impressive 6 under par net 29. Finishing with the third best score of 5 under par net 30 was George Kir. John Tofflemire was next at 4 under par net 31, while Bobby Dick, Will Peters, Mike Ferreira and Greg Zimney all finished another shot back with net scores of 32.

It was a quiet night for skins with only 7 surrendered on the front side. Leading the way with 2 a piece were Matt Quiring and Ralph Warkentin, while Ken Cobby, Tim Tiessen and Connor MacKinnon picked up the other 3.

The two top positions of the overall skins standings remains the same with Matt Iacobelli in first place at $43.74 and Ward Hutchins in second with $39.58, while Brian Humphreys and Matt Quiring are now tied for third at $33.33. Neil Debacker remains alone in fifth place at $31.25, with Duane Vlodarchyk in sixth place with $30. And Ralph Warkentin has moved up the ladder into 6th place less than a dollar back with his $29.16 total.

This week, it is a fun night competition with regular play beginning again next week.

Beautiful weather for TT senior golfers

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, August 1, all of the 71 seniors league participants enjoyed a magnificent day of golf at Talbot Trail. Although there were some very challenging pin placements, four players still managed to shoot scores under 40.

The closest to the pin on #9 was won by Patch when his tee shot barely missed being a hole in one by inches. Patch did convert the putt for his sensational birdie. Bob Freure was the long putt winner on #2 again last week as he knocked in a 25-footer.

In the 50-69y division, John Liddell executed his game with precision as he fired a masterful 38. One shot back with his excellent 39 was Jim Pearson. Both Wiz and Arqy handled their games very well as they shot terrific 40s. Fred Michano and Scratchy earned superb 42s. Steve Longeway merited a solid 43. Very praiseworthy results of 44 went to Jerry Omstead, Mike Getty and Kevin Jordan. A satisfying result of 45 was produced by Dave Alexander. Others who achieved very commendable scores of 50 or less were Bummy and Herb Reid 46s, Fuzzy and G. Hillier 47s, Larry Hughes 48, Art Regehr and Bob Hatt 49s.

Nifty 50 was garnered by Wayne Humber and Dave Clark.

In the 70-79y division, Dutchy led the field as he humbled his playing partners with his masterful 36. Joe Vertel played marvellous golf as he earned an outstanding 39. One shot back at 40 with their own impressive results were Bill Ward and Rick Thompson. Terrific 41s were shot by Ray La Pierre and Bobo. Paul Brown continued his inspiring play by shooting an excellent 42. Three players who produced very solid results of 45 were Pete Daudlin, Al Zanuttini, and Larry Haggitt. Praiseworthy 47s were shot by Don Willan, Schmitty, Patch, Tom White and Pat Hill. Here are some other fine scores under 50: Doug Langlois, Eugene A. and Tom Sasso 48s; Dave Dent, Gary Benninger, Vic R. and Rivaits 49s. Richard Humber grabbed a nifty 50!

In the 80-85y grouping, Neil Adamson continued his awesome play by shooting an impressive 43. Bob Freure also produced an outstanding 45. Both Steady Ed Woelk and Carl Robinson produced very solid results of 47. Walter Balsam shot a very praiseworthy 49.

Other commendable results were generated by Fred Takaki (52), Gerry Becigneul (54) and Bill Edwards (55).

The super senior division also played very well. Dave La Bonte, Orville Ellwood and Bill Westrop were within three shots of each other. Dave finished on top with his brilliant 51 and Orville Ellwood and Bill Westrop achieved very praiseworthy results of 53 and 54 respectively. These gentlemen inspire all league members!

The third scramble will take place on Tuesday, August 22. The Deer Run excursion is on August 18.

The Talbot Trail Couple’s Tournament will take place on August 12.

It will be followed up by the Jack Stein Memorial Tournament on Your local August 26, and then the Doc McLean Senior InSERVICING ALL MAKES & MODELS vitational on September SALES • SERVICE • INSTALLATION Dealer 13.
