Q&A

With Melissa of Clear Hearing Centre

What’s your favourite sound? Everybody has one. The sounds we encounter every day create the soundtrack of our lives. But for many of us, sounds are beginning to fade.

Hearing loss often happens gradually. The simple, every day sounds that we take for granted – the plink of a piano, the sizzle of onions in a pan, the blinker in our car – slowly start to diminish, and then, one day, they’re gone. Clear Hearing Centre is committed to bringing these sounds back into your life. We’ve interviewed Hearing Instrument Specialist and owner of Clear Hearing Centre, Melissa Beardsley-Brown, to learn more about what her clinic has to offer.

Tell us a little about yourself, Melissa!

My name is Melissa Beardsley-Brown. I have over a decade of experience in the hearing healthcare field. For me, helping people with their hearing healthcare means creating a better lifestyle for those who need it, bringing sounds back into their life that had gone missing to them.

On Friday, June 8 the Leamington District Secondary School EcoTeam received a generous donation of $5,000 from the Friends of Point Pelee. Together with funds previously donated by Caldwell First Nation, this money will be used to create the Caldwell Community Peace Garden on the new school grounds.

Plans for the garden were made last year by EcoTeam members Abbey Resendes and Rachel Humphreys. After considering the ideas of their classmates, Abbey and Rachel decided that the garden should be used for peaceful reflection and learning about the natural world. Native tree, shrub and wildflower species were carefully selected to provide shelter from traffic and sun as well as food for migrating birds and pollinators. The garden will also include seating so that it can be used as an outdoor classroom.

The connection to Caldwell First Nation and the focus on creating habitat for birds and pollinators really appealed to the Friends of Point Pelee.

The EcoTeam hopes to begin working on the garden before the end of the school year.

The Caldwell Community Peace Garden will be located next to the trail along the east side of the school so that it is easily accessible for community members.

New pedestrian crossovers in Leamington

At the end of the year, Ross Barnwell (centre) will be retiring as Executive Director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation after 20 years. He is pictured here with Foundation staff Melissa Hunter (left) and Alycia Bento.

Pillar of the community set to retire

The Municipality of Leamington will open 14 new Pedestrian Crossovers during the month of June 2018.

During the week of June 11 the following four locations will go into service: Wilkinson Drive at Trail, Elliott Street at Trail, Queens Avenue at Trail, and Smith Avenue at Trail.

Prior to January 1, 2016, and in the absence of a common provincial standard, a variety of configurations of signs and pavement markings for uncontrolled pedestrian crossings were installed in many Ontario municipalities, including Leamington. The Municipality installed “Courtesy Crossings” at a number of locations across Leamington.

Pedestrian Crossovers (PXOs) are new to Ontario as a result of a law that was introduced under Bill 31: Making Ontario’s Road Safer Act on January 1st, 2016.

This law allows municipal road authorities to install PXOs on low-speed and low-volume roads.

In conjunction with Bill 31 passing, Leamington Municipal Council approved an Active Transportation Master Plan which provides locations for on-and-offroad pedestrian and bicycle usage, such as recreational trails and on-road bicycle lanes. Accordingly, the designs of the pedestrian crossings took into account the recommended Active Transportation Plan sites at, or in the vicinity of, the PXO locations.

The recommended PXO configurations include pavement markings, signage, and street lighting at all locations. Amber flashing lights will also be included at some locations.

Remember: Pedestrians have the right-of-way! Drivers and cyclists must yield to pedestrians. Everyone is responsible for understanding and following the rules of the road as they move through a PXO. Refer to www.leamington.ca/pxo for an updated list of PXO locations.

After a long career, of which the past 20 years have been in Leamington, Ross Barnwell is set to retire at the end of this year.

The Executive Director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation (formerly Leamington District Memorial Hospital Foundation) has seen a lot over his 20 years, including several capital campaigns, an updated Women’s Centre, adding Dialysis services, purchasing a brand new CT Scanner, as well as the fundraising and building of the Erie Shores Hospice Campus.

“I have seen many changes to the Hospital and Foundation in my almost two decades. There have been many developments in the fundraising sector and through it all the Foundation has been a leader and innovator. It has been a pleasure to work with so many amazing and dedicated board members and I am so pleased that its future is bright and in good hands,” said Barnwell.

Over the last half of his tenure, Barnwell has seen over $15-million given to Erie Shores HealthCare for important diagnostic equipment, and most recently guided the Foundation through the building and operational fundraising for the new Hospice campus in Leamington.

“The Foundation has been very lucky to have Ross leading the fundraising efforts for our community hospital’s continual equipment needs. He has been a FOR THE OPSEDNAYS constant in an ever-changTHUR pm ing health care environment.

Memories of fairs gone by The smell of candy apples and freshly pulled salt-water taffy bring back memories of my childhood visits to the Leamington Fair.

I remember being so excited when we were given our bicycle draw tickets at the end of the school year, which got us a chance at a free bike at the fair.

My first memories of the fair include those cars and trucks on a carousel with the annoying horns, and those boats that went around in the circular water. They seemed to really be floating but were actually propelled along a small rail that kept the boats safely afloat.

Candy apples were always a treat and that Laur’s Taffy was always our last stop on the way out of the gate to get those wonderful sticks of sugar wrapped nicely in waxed paper. If you got there at the right time, some of the taffy sticks were still warm.

Of course, the tent where the bearded lady and jars of formaldehyde-preserved abnormalities were kept are also quite vivid in this old brain. Seeing a two-headed calf in a jar was somehow the highlight of my summer.

Well, they don’t tend to display those type of things any more and probably for a very good reason.

I remember the noises and the smells on Children’s Day, as we raced to the fish pond game and then found our way to other games of chance that allowed us to win a small prize every time.

Bumper cars, the haunted funhouse and ferris wheel were

often for the bigger kids, but we loved to watch them.

As a teenager, I graduated to the Tilt-A-Whirl and the Polar Express, which both eventually made me sick, so I stopped going on rides that twirl, spin or hang you upside down at that point.

The Hell Drivers were always a huge attraction and we always made it out for a second trip to the fair on Saturday night to watch them jump over wrecked cars and drive bumper-to-bumper, weaving in and out. That guy that used to be able to drive on two wheels all the way around the track was amazing.

The fairgrounds bring back a lot of good memories for me. We spent every Sunday at Leamington Kinsmen Raceway when I was a kid. My uncle Bill Winger was a driver, as was my cousin Randy Winger. I learned so much about harness racing as a 10 or 11 year old, thinking it was the greatest thing there ever was. The excitement of picking a horse and having my dad place a bet, then cheering it on to the finish line was the highlight of my summer weekends.

I learned pretty quickly about such things as daily double, photo finish and the difference between a trotter and a pacer.

Terms like hobbles, Lasix and sulky were introduced to my vocabulary at a young age.

That property out there north of town has been a hotbed of activity for well over a century. The race track and grandstand used to be located at the front of the property, about where the old arena was built.

RIB’S RAMBLINGS As the fair cel-

ebrates its 170th an- Mark Ribble niversary this year, I can’t help but think that it has to be one of the longest running annual family oriented events in Canada. I’m sure there are other fairs out there that have been around just as long, but this is quite a feather in Leamington’s cap.

So now, fair weekend is upon us and I’m sure that the current board of directors have been working their fingers to the bone getting ready for a big weekend. Lots of trimming, lawn cutting and general preparations have been going on behind the scenes for weeks now.

Let’s hope the weather cooperates, as the RCMP Musical Ride is a big part of this year’s fair. ‘The Ride’ hasn’t been in Leamington since 2000, when it made an appearance as part of the new millennium celebrations. This is a big deal and people will come from afar just to see that spectacle.

The show is a great draw for this area, and area restaurant and hotels should also reap the benefits.

Add to that a Friday night concert and the usual Saturday night demolition derby and you’ve got a weekend full of activity at the north end of town.

If you haven’t been to the fair in years, this is your chance to have another look. Even if you don’t go on the rides or play the games, the atmosphere is second-to-none and will certainly bring back a lot of memories.

When life gets crazy, head to the garden

Monday morning I sat in our new little dining room enjoying sips of coffee. From this new vantage point, I can enjoy the beautiful gardens in our little backyard! We are home!

Mark and I took a break from the island after a team of eight men finished up the last of the new window, door and hurricane shutter installation. Eighty-eight windows were fit into the guest home openings by a skilled crew that we were proud to say came from Canada. It was a pleasure to host the three men that came from Quebec. While living in Ontario the provinces seemed a country away, and Quebec a very different culture. However, when these men arrived to our little cay in the Bahamas, they were more like us than not.

We were very proud of their workmanship and the fact they were Canadians!

This project was the first major one that Mark and I spearheaded from beginning to end. We found the window company in Florida, organized trips out to measure up for a quote, and negotiated all of the fine details for the final contract. The owners arrived near completion and were extremely happy with their newest and very large investment.

After more than five weeks, the crew left the cay. Mark

and I stayed on another week to put the homes back in order and to decompress. We then headed home where we would be closing on the sale of our house and the purchase of a new one on the same day.

Twenty-six years of living in a home creates endless memories. Many people have asked how it felt to leave and I tried to explain that for me, once we had decided to move on, the things we chose to carry with us were everything we needed to create a new home. Most importantly the people we love and a coffee maker of course!

The purchase of our place in Wheatley was exciting to say the least. Not only had I never bought a home before, but the method was not a traditional one. The housing market in the area has been bursting and Wheatley is no exception. The town is shining with the help from all of the local businesses and groups lining the streets with wonderful storefronts, memorable banners and floral displays. It is hard not to notice all of the positive changes, especially when you have been away.

The shortage of housing made a bid situation for the house we were interested in. I had heard of this type of sales and

LIFESTYLES

knew enough about them to Shannon realize that it Matheson was great to be on the side of a seller rather than a buyer. However, Mark and I decided on a bid price prior to him heading to Jamaica for a wedding. I stayed back to oversee the work crew and was in charge of getting our offer sent in.

I don’t think I will ever forget that Thursday 4:00 in the afternoon deadline! Just 45 minutes before, I was struggling with getting the signed documents emailed to our agent’s office. By this time I had pretty well left everything to fate and nearly given up when I heard the swooshing sound from my computer. Just moments before, I had come to the conclusion and conveyed to our agent that perhaps it was not meant to be.

A half hour later I received a text, “Congratulations!!!!!”.

Truly I wasn’t sure how to feel as it sunk in that I had just bought my first house, sight unseen. Thankfully, a best (Continued on Page A-5)

letters to the editor Erie Shores Hospice is amazing

Note: Becky Burling is currently at Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington.

She started writing when she settled into the hospice and hoped to have her note published. She is hugely impressed with the hospice and deeply moved by the care of the volunteers and doctors. Becky said that she didn’t have any options for hospice in Durham Region, where she lived for 30 years, and that with the rising aging population, this is unfortunate and a problem. The following are her thoughts:

I am now living my time in a hospice in Leamington.

I would love everyone to know about this amazing home.

Leamington is the Tomato Capital. You have Point Pelee, where people from all over the world come to just watch the birds!! I can even watch the birds from my bed, because there is a bird feeder right outside my window.

At this point in my journey through life, I must be in a wheelchair. I have lost my ability to walk. The “Big C” has taken my legs, but so far my arms get me to where

Small cell lung cancer is what I have because I was and still am a smoker. Please everyone, it is bad for you but, you already know that!

I was under the impression that this place was not funded by the government, but of course I was totally wrong. They fund the staff, so I am very happy about that.

But there is always money needed. There are approximately 200 volunteers who are amazing! I could go into many details, but PLEASE check it out.

Hospices are so needed.

There are NO hospices in Durham Region, where I lived for 30 years. My wish was to get closer to my sister. My name was put on a list of three hospices that were close enough for her, and I MADE IT! – Sincerely, Rebecca (Becky) J. Burling

Driver loses control, strikes house

Shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Friday, June 8, emergency crews responded to a collision on Klondyke Road in Wheatley when a man lost control of his vehicle, left the roadway and struck a house.

No one in the house was injured. The driver sustained minor injuries.

Total damage was estimated at $250,000.

Chatham-Kent Police believed the man was driving while under the influence of alcohol and he was arrested. The man was transported to police headquarters for breath tests.

A 27-year-old Romney Township man was charged with driving with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit. He will appear in court later this month.

Foundation of CKHA reaches goal

The Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) has reached – and surpassed – its fundraising goal.

With the four year-plus, $6.9-million Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Renewal Campaign now complete, a total of $7,062,761 has been raised to fund the purchase of muchneeded medical equipment for Chatham-Kent.

The Foundation of CKHA Future in Focus fundraising campaign was started in 2014 to finance the purchase of 17 new pieces of diagnostic imaging equipment for CKHA. Since then, 15 pieces have been purchased and installed.

One of the remaining pieces is new computed tomography (CT) Scan machine, an important tool that can be used to help diagnose countless ailments and issues, including cancer, heart disease and blood clots.

Governments do not fund new capital equipment expenditures for hospitals, so it is the mandate of hospital foundations to raise money for needed items.

When life gets crazy, head to the garden

(Continued from Page A-4) friend toured through the home on our behalf just days before and we trusted her honest opinion greatly. I sat and went through the photos of each room as well as the yard, imagining myself there with family and friends. It was very easy to imagine!

Now that we are moved in, I can honestly say, “I feel at home”. Our return to the island will be difficult, but knowing we have a place of our own to come back to comforts me. It gives me pleasure to know that our house on Lynn is being loved by the new owners. Our new place was built by the past owners and lived in for almost three times the number of years we had our home. It’s very evident that they loved this place. The care that they gave it is very apparent and appreciated. I hope they find pleasure from the thought of us with our family here and tending the gardens that they spent hours in.

As time goes by, I come to realize more and more that things have a way of working out for the best if you let them. Over the years on Lynn, I purchased endless amounts of perennials for our gardens. Many settled their roots and thrived but more than not perished under the shade of the large canopy and succumbed to the challenge of vying for space and moisture stolen from the deciduous trees. When I walked into my new back yard I was instantly rewarded with a plethora of plants, everything I had ever wanted and more!

Mark and I tackled the front garden by trimming back overgrown bushes and putting mulch down to make for less maintenance. The back gardens need thinning and I will share my winnings with my neighbours, but for the time being the perennials give me time to sit back and wait patiently for their endless display.

After taking my last sips of cooled coffee, I headed out to snip some roses. Together with a couple slices of homemade rhubarb pie, it should make the perfect gift to greet our new neighbours. How lucky are we?

Nicholls declares commitment to horse racing

By Bryan Jessop On the eve of Election Day, Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP incumbent Rick Nicholls announced that if it takes control at Queen’s Park, his party would offer support to a struggling industry in the province.

On behalf of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, Nicholls paid a visit to the Leamington municipal office on Erie Street North on June 6 to declare that the party would meet with the Ontario Harness Horse Association to discuss support for the beleaguered group.

Nicholls was met by Essex mayor Ron McDermott, Lakeshore mayor and Essex County warden Tom Bain, Leamington municipal councillor Larry Verbeke and other interested individuals for the early afternoon announcement.

Nicholls explained that in the event his party was chosen to replace Wynne’s Liberals in Toronto, discussions with the “It’s about OHHA would begin immediately on plans to bring SARP — attendants at the the Slots At Racetracks Program — back to horse racing fatracks, farmers, cilities across the province. He noted that since discontinuing veterinarians, the program in 2012, the Liberals have found themselves facblacksmiths… ing a civil lawsuit regarding the changes. Nicholls also stated there are a lot of that court documentation revealed anticipation of 23,000 people at risk.” jobs lost and the deaths of 27,000 horses triggered by the — Tom Bain governing party’s decision.

“Without warning, Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals killed the Slots At Racetrack Program, destroying the horse racing industry,” he said. “While the Ontario PCs stood up for the horse racing industry and voted against this cut, Andrea Horwath and the NDP chose to prop up the Liberals. They could have stopped this.”

Nicholls explained that an Ontario PC government would launch a group to consult with the representatives of the province’s horse racing community to bring slot machines back to tracks that include the facility in Leamington.

“On behalf of (OHHA) president Mark Williams, I’m pleased to hear this,” said Bain, who is also an executive member of the OHHA who hopes to one day see a permanent horse racing track built in Lakeshore. “It’s great news. People here know how important that program was.”

Bain went on to explain that other tracks across Ontario receive two times as much support as the facility at the Leamington Fairgrounds on Erie Street North. He also stressed the fact that because of the industry’s dire situation, an estimated 2,000 jobs could be lost locally.

“It’s not just the horse men,” Bain said. “It’s about attendants at the tracks, farmers, veterinarians, blacksmiths… there are a lot of people at risk.”

Pollsters were expecting a close race in Chatham-Kent-Leamington between Nicholls and NDP challenger Jordan McGrail. On the day before the election, Nicholls expressed eagerness to again represent constituents in CKL. “I’m cautiously optimistic,” he said immediately following his June 6 announcement.

“You just never know — the only poll that matters is on Election Day.” On Thursday, June 7, the province elected Conservative party leader Doug Ford as Premier while Nicholls emerged as the winner in Chatham-Kent-Leamington with a cushion of about 7,500 votes.

One of the first priorities of the program would be to bring back the Slots At Racetracks Program (SARP) that the Liberal government cancelled in 2012.

New venue for Miss Lizzy’s Tea

By Bryan Jessop Whatever the location or specific cause, ‘supporters of cancer patients’ is a description that fits Miss Lizzy’s Foundation to a ‘tea’.

The event was spearheaded by Miss Lizzy’s Foundation president Sarah Edwards, who accepted the position from her mother and organization founder Liz Delciancio, who passed away in late April of last year.

Last year’s Tea raised in excess of $31,000, thanks in part to several community donations and in memoriam contributions made following Liz’s passing. This year’s total was not available by press deadline, but organizers were pleased with the 2018 turnout and showings Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP of support.

“It’s a new venue for us, “Your trusted voice.” and it’s working out well,” said Edwards, now living in Toronto. “There’s a lot of open space, the raffle’s a big hit again and a lot of people are buying hats too, which is good to see as well.”

four-member board of directors and ran by a team of about 30 volunteers including friends and members of the Delciancio family. Those contributing to the program included a team of male volunteers who escorted guests to their tables and served them tea, scones and other sweets.

“That part was my wife’s idea and the ladies just love it,” said Liz’s husband Gino Delciancio. “It’s nice for the women to have a chance to be served by the men.”

Last year’s proceeds went toward the refurbishing of Erie Shores Heath Care’s Oncology Suite, a project Liz began before her death. This year, funds generated by the Tea will be offered in support of Erie Shores Hospice, which includes a garden and tea room funded by the foundation. In a speech addressing guests, Edwards explained that Erie Shores Hospice accommodations are free to involved families and require $400,000 in funding each year to function.

Miss Lizzy’s Tea began after Liz and Sarah made a trip to England, where they attended a tea party that triggered the idea of offering something similar back at home in support of local cancer patients. The first Tea was held at the Delciancio residence and was attended by 25 guests. From there, it was relocated to the Roma Club pavilion. After drawing larger crowds, it was moved into the Roma Club’s main banquet room — also without a rental charge — until a larger location was once again required.

Nine paintings by famous Canadian artist George Paginton were very generously donated to Leamington Arts Centre as part of its permanent collection. This significant acquisition was delivered personally by the artist’s son Tony Paginton (centre) and his wife Roswita, who are pictured here with LAC director Chad Riley (right).

Famous works donated to LAC Nine works by famous artist George Paginton (19011988) have been donated to Leamington Arts Centre (LAC) by his son Tony Paginton and wife Roswita.

An exhibit entitled Canadian Landscapes is on display at LAC until June 28, and then will remain at LAC as part of its permanent collection. Mr. Tony Paginton and his wife were in attendance at the opening reception held June 1.

“My father, George Paginton, loved to paint Canada’s natural landscape,” said Paginton. “Roswita and I are pleased that my father’s paintings will become part of the permanent collection of the Leamington Arts Centre.”

This donation is the most significant acquisition in LAC’s history. Paginton is a very well-known and accomplished

Canadian painter. LAC is extremely pleased to have been offered this work and to find it a home in Leamington. The work was appraised at $37,300.

Inspired by the Canadian landscape like the Group of Seven, George Paginton’s direct, truthful and rugged depiction of Canada served him as a personal escape. His intensity of colour and freedom of technique brought out a sense of beauty rarely seen because he preferred to paint for his own enjoyment.

Although roughly 20 years younger, Paginton was closely associated with the Group of Seven and even shared space in the Studio Building where many of the Group of Seven members worked. He became friends with A.Y. Jackson and was a pallbearer along with A.J. Casson at Jackson’s funeral.

His newspaper work, where he learned to grasp situations quickly, and his enjoyment of painting outside, where he learned to capture light in a moment, enabled him to create small panels and canvases in a single sitting. And it is in these small format works where his love of Canadian landscape is revealed. As plein air painter, his subject matter crossed the entire country from Newfoundland and New Brunswick, through Quebec and Ontario, to Alberta and British Columbia. Rarely did he rework his sketches into larger studio canvases but there are a few.

During his lifetime, Paginton rarely exhibited his works.

But one of his only international exhibitions was held in New York just before he died, where his work was featured beside some of Canada’s most renowned artists: J.W. Beatty, Jack Bush, Lawren Harris, Illingworth Kerr and David Milne.

After his death his family wanted others to see his love of Canada and they secured representation with Toronto gallerist Odon Wagner, where three sold-out gallery shows took place from 1999 to 2002. They also arranged special exhibitions with numerous museums.

George Paginton’s work is held by many esteemed private collectors and as well as public and museum collections across Canada, which now includes LAC. “George Paginton followed the essence of the Group of Seven and painted the Canadian landscape in its true rugged and colourful splendor,” said Kelly Juhasz, principal at Fine Art Appraisal and Services, the art advisor working with the Paginton’s on the collection. “Without Tony and Roswita’s donations to Canadian museums, his work would only be seen by the eyes of a few prominent collectors; now it will be viewed by many more.”

By Ron Giofu A total of 31 students across southwestern Ontario are receiving $2,000 Student Awards from Libro Credit Union with area students honoured last Thursday evening, June 7.

Of the eight students between the ages of 17-25 recognized by Libro for their volunteerism, leadership and academic commitment, one of them is from Leamington.

Jessica DeSantis, a Grade 12 student at L’Essor, was one of the students recognized during the ceremony at Oxley Estate Winery. Katie Omstead, owner representative at the Leamington branch, said DeSantis’ application stood out from the rest.

“It was not a tough decision,” said Omstead. “She was just so inspiring.”

Besides being outstanding in the classroom, DeSantis has over 300 hours of volunteer service. She has advocated for the homeless, volunteered at St. Michael’s Church and Erie Shores HealthCare as well as with Community Living Essex County (CLEC). Included as part of her work with CLEC is dressing up as mascot Ruthie Van Apple during the

Ruthven Apple Festival, held annually at the end of September at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens.

“I am incredibly honoured to receive a Libro Student Award,” said DeSantis. “I am appreciative to Libro Credit Union for selecting me.”

DeSantis said education is one of the most important investments she will make in her life. She plans on heading to London in the fall where she will attend the University of Western Ontario. Her goal is to become a social worker.

“I will always carry the values my parents taught me,” DeSantis added, with those values including being respectful, setting goals, being open to new opportunities and being kind.

“We’re inspired and awed

by these students,” said Lori Atkinson, Libro’s Regional Manager for Essex-Kent.

“To be so committed to their communities and to improving themselves academically at their age, it’s not a one-shot deal. We’re excited to support these students on their educational journey and to see what they bring to the table in the future.”

Since 2012, Libro has awarded more than $360,000 to 166 students through its Student Award Program.

Other winners included Gillian Marshall (Belle River), Rain Pfaff (Blenheim), Zak Hu (Essex), Zachary Lauzon (Harrow), Emma Muldoon (Kingsville), Natalie Pallisco (Amherstburg) and Sierra Currie (Woodslee).

During Wheatley Legion’s 75th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, President Bill Robertson had the honour of presenting awards to two very deserving members.

Membership Chairman Beth Clements was presented with a plaque recognizing her achievement of 100% or more new memberships and renewals for Ontario Legions with memberships of 250-499. Beth was quick to point out that this was possible with lots of help from her daughter Laura Simpson. Congratulations to both of you for a job well done.

The other award went to a Past President and, among other things, our Branch historian who has spent hours and hours researching, interviewing veterans and/or their families and compiling albums, a lasting memory, of those in our area who served our country. For his efforts, Bill Siddall was presented with a well-deserved Legion Life Membership. Congratulations, Bill!

Point Pelee to host car show and several signature events

By Bryan Jessop It’s been a while since the tip of Canada was inundated with vehicles made in the 1970s and earlier, but the occasion is scheduled to happen one more time.

Point Pelee National Park, in celebration of its centennial anniversary, will host a series of unique events including a gathering of classic cars. The Point Pelee National Park 100 Vintage Car Show and Shine will take place at the Visitors Centre parking lot Saturday, June 16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be open to vehicles of all makes and models from 1979 and earlier. Participating classic vehicle owners will be permitted free entry into the park that day and will not pay a registration fee. Spectators will also be able to attend the show free of charge, but will still be required to pay the standard park entrance fee at the main gates.

“Part of our “Part of our history was car culture,” explained Point history was Pelee National Park technical services coordinator Ray car culture.”

Grassi. “Back in the ’60s, the cars were bumper to bumper in search of a parking space so that their fami— Ray Grassi lies could enjoy a day at the beach. It became too intense for our conservation efforts, but those days bring back a lot of memories for a lot of people.”

With no pre-registration, classic vehicle owners may arrive to sign up for the event starting at 9 a.m. Upon the event’s conclusion, three Best In Show awards will be given. Grassi explained that he hopes to see as many as 200 vehicles at the Show and Shine, with dash plaques available on a first come, first serve basis up to

that number. In the event that the number of vehicles entered exceeds the VC parking lot’s capacity, extra vehicles will be routed to a second location.

The Vintage Car Show and Shine is one of several ‘signature events’ taking place at Point Pelee this year in recognition of its 100th year as a designated national park.

Canada Day Celebrations will take place Sunday, July 1 featuring a park-wide scavenger hunt, a Beach Bash at Northwest Beach and Craft Centre at the Visitors Centre.

July 21 and 22 will bring the Bio Blitz, a 24-hour period of Point Pelee resource conservation staff and national experts conducting a search for as many species of wildlife as possible. Members of the general public will be invited and encouraged to assist with the ‘blitz.’

August 11 to 13 will bring about Astronomy Weekend, where the park will remain open all night for ideal viewing for the peak of the Perseid Meteor Showers. Daytime events are also planned for the weekend.

Art at the oTENTiks will take place October 13 and 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., where local artists will work at each of the oTENTik sites.

The same weekend will also offer Harvest Feast on Oct. 13, a friendship feast in partnership with Caldwell First Nation offering both traditional Indigenous and European dishes.

October 13 will also offer all visitors free admission into the park.

Other attractions this year will include monthly Dark Sky Nights, Sciensational Sssnakes, Let’s Get Batty, Wild Ontario and Ghosts of Pelee’s Past. Visit https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pnnp/on/pelee/activ/calendar-calendrier for further details.

With our deepest sorrow we inform you of the sudden passing of our father, son, brother, nephew and colleague, Claudio Roberto Mastronardi.

Claudio was the loving and devoted father of Brienne and Lindsey Mastronardi. Beloved son of Isolina and his father Mike Mastronardi. Brother of Ester Mastronardi.

Adored uncle of Shawn Dawson and Marla Stanton. Sorely missed by the mother of his children, Rachel Koop. Claudio will never be forgotten and will always be remembered by his aunts, uncles and many cousins in Italy and Canada.

Claudio was an amazing father, son and an invaluable friend to so many people, including everyone at Natura Naturals. His dream from the very beginning was to build this company from the ground up and make it a success, not so much for himself but for those he cared about.

This venture began with a passion to help others, especially children suffering with epilepsy. With great sadness, he will no longer be here with us to fulfill that dream. In his honor, we will do our absolute best to keep his legacy strong and to keep his dreams alive.

Claudio was a kind and giving person, blessed with an amazing strength and faith in God. For those who had the opportunity to really know him, you were gifted with genuine friendship. He has touched the lives of many people during his lifetime, and his presence, his friendship and his laughter will be always missed. We pray that you are at peace and watching over us with pride as we continue to make your dreams come true.

Visiting was at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) on Thursday from 1-5 p.m. and 6-9 p.m., and on Friday, June 8, 2018 at St. Michael’s Church from 9:30 a.m. until time of Mass of the Resurrection at 10:30 a.m.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations made by cheque to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Ronald McDonald House Southwestern Ontario would be appreciated.

Family and friends are invited to share their words of comfort and remembrance at www.reidfuneralhome.ca

mathematics competitions.

The University of Waterloo’s Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) held its annual winter and spring contests for the 2017-2018 school year, for which 82 LDSS students from Grades 9 to 12 participated.

The higher than ever numbers can be accredited largely to the Grade 9 level, where all cohort students with the International Baccalaureate program wrote the Pascal test in late February.

“It was the biggest group of kids we’ve ever had. We’ve got a great team of students,” explained Larry Jekel of the LDSS math department.

The CEMC competitions draw competitors not only from across Canada, but also the United States and in some cases from nations around the world, including China. Each student who scores in the top 25 per cent in his or her grade receives a Certificate of Distinction as well as a medal for finishing first in his or her school. The Leamington District Secondary School results were as follows: • Pascal (Grade 9, Feb. 27) — medal winner Sydney Peters; certificates Sydney Peters and Jude Mercer.

• Cayley (Grade 10, Feb. 27) — medal winner Huzafa Hyde; certificates Huzafa Hyde and Cameron Dueck.

• Fermat (Grade 11, Feb. 27) — medal winner Eddy Neufeld; certificates;Eddy Neufeld and David Letkeman.

• Fryer (Grade 9, Apr. 12) — medal winners Isabel Unger and Heidi Bartsch (tied).

• Galois (Grade 10, Apr. 12) — medal winner Cameron Dueck.

• Hypatia (Grade 11, Apr. 12) — medal winners Jasmine Schmitt and Brady Mallott (tied).

• Euclid (Grade 12, Apr. 11) — medal winner Megan Dawson.

• Canadian Computing Competition, Certificates of Distinction — Matthew Coller, Brandon Klassen and Stephen Wiebe.

• Beaver Computing Challenge, Certificates of Distinction — Luke Gabert and Journey Moo. For the winter contests, 36 Grade 9 students at LDSS wrote the Pascal while 24 Grade 10 students wrote the Cayley and 14 Grade 11s took the Fermat. In April, nine Grade 9s took the Fryer, five Grade 10s wrote the Galois, five Grade 11s participated in the Hypatia and five Grade 12s wrote the Euclid.

Wheatley Windfest Weekend June 9 & 10 at and around Wheatley Arena

The skies over Wheatley were beautiful on the weekend, despite the intermittent rain showers, for the community’s first ever Wind Festival, organized by kite aficionado George Paisiovich.

Mark Dawson and his daughter Arley were enjoying flying their kite on Saturday.

Go fly a kite at WindFest (Continued from Front) After traveling for a few months, Paisiovich made a stop in Chatham and was drawn to kites on display in one of the shops. The following year he opened a kite store in Erieau.

In 2005, representatives from Pelee Island contacted him looking for a way to promote Pelee Island in the spring through the use of kites. The kite collector then sailed to Pelee Island, opening a kite museum for five years.

Now he’s back on the mainland and his love of kites has never dimmed. And he wanted to share that love with the people of Wheatley and the surrounding area.

Paisiovich said the old fashioned activity is a way of bringing families and friends together on a level playing field. He said it also helps teach youngsters patience in an age of instant gratification.

Working in conjunction with the Wheatley BIA, the Horticultural Society and the Concerned Citizens Group, Paisiovich said he was hoping local residents would welcome a chance to get their youngsters to unplug and get active outside, enjoying some good old-fashioned family fun.

By Saturday afternoon, close to 200 youngsters and their families had taken up the offer of a free kite and a chance to get active and ‘go fly a kite’.

Kathryn Bekaan, a member of the organizing committee, said the response was awesome. “The kids were so excited,” she said.

The drizzling, chilly conditions put a damper on the festivities, but Paisiovich was pleased with the response and was delighted to see so many families enjoying the outdoors. In addition to flying their own kites, it was also a chance to witness some much larger kites flown by professionals, enjoy the windscapes, refreshments, face painting, and have a little fun with their friends and family.

On Friday night, prior to Wind Fest, there was Family Movie Night at Coulter Park featuring ‘Mary Poppins’ on the large outdoor screen.

Rounding out the festivities on Saturday evening, Bigg Wiggle took the the stage uptown and entertained a large and enthusiastic audience.

As far as whether it will become an annual event, Paisiovich said they will have to sit down and make a decision based on the success of the inaugural event.

These cousins took a little time out during Wheatley’s Windfest on the weekend for some tailgating fun. From left to right, Zoey Dales, Andie Anderson and Avery Anderson enjoy a little snack and mugging for the camera.

Bantam Select Lakers battle in Brantford The Leamington Lakers Bantam Selects traveled to Brantford the weekend of June 1-3 to participate in a tournament of Bantam travel teams from across southwestern Ontario.

The first game played on Friday night saw a total team effort as the Bantam Select Lakers handily defeated a team from Beamsville 15-5 with both timely hitting and a fine pitching performance by Zack Murray who was named the game’s most valuable player.

In the second game on Saturday morning, Leamington battled Waterdown and put in a gutsy performance as they came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game in their last at bat. Starting pitcher and game MVP Thomas DeSantis battled for over five innings going to his maximum pitch count before Justin Neufeld came in to close out the game.

In game three the Lakers kept the game close and played hard but ultimately lost to Port Dover who brought a strong offensive attack beating the Lakers 125. Laker Michael Neufeld was named game MVP for both his timely hitting and pitching performance.

In the quarter-finals, Leamington played Welland and despite some outstanding hitting and defense the Lakers lost 5-3 and were eliminated. A great hitting, running and pitching performance earned Owen Knelsen the game MVP honors.

As is the Lakers way, the Bantam Selects represented Leamington well in the tournament as they played hard together as a team and were respectful of the game and their opponents. All the players are very appreciative of the support from their parents, team manager John Knelsen, coaches Gerry Ingratta and Trevor Murray, and Leamington Minor Baseball.

Although a finalized version of the 2018-’19 regular season has not yet been released, the Sharks will host two pre-season exhibition games — Wednesdays Sept. 5 and 12, both with 7:30 p.m. starts. Opponents have not yet been confirmed, but Blenheim and Lakeshore are the likely guest teams.

JESSOP’S JOURNAL

pull some strings to bring it to Russia while it’s hosting the FIFA World Cup of Soccer (the hosts get the Group stage of the schedule started on Thursday, June 14 then play again on the 19th and the 25th). So like it or not, there are probably going to be some photo opps of hockey’s holy grail with a soccer ball in the cup. It’s already been on the pitcher’s mound to witness a rather lousy ‘first pitch’ by Alexander the Great for a Washington Nationals game (he did better on the second try, but the throw still resembled a beer league slo pitch toss).

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of turnout the Cup is greeted by for D.C.’s parade on June 12 (results not available by press deadline).

No word yet as to whether or not Trump is going to hit it with a tariff.

At any rate, it’ll also be interesting to see/hear what adventures await the big chromed hotel lobby ashtray this year. As mentioned in a previous column, one of the players is officially a resident of Australia (depending on the source — some say Nathan Walker still lives in his birth country of the United Kingdom/Wales). I

think it’d be cool to see it in the Outback or atop Ayers Rock.

In the meantime, we fans of Canadian teams will have to patiently wait out another offseason. It’s been an quarter century for Habs fans… more than half a century for Leafs fans. Regardless, we all mutter those same three little words simultaneously…

Maybe next year.

A look at the past courtesy of C. Scott Holland

JAYCEES INSTALL OFFICERS - On Saturday evening an installation dinner was held with the Wheatley Jaycees and Jaycettes new slate of officers being installed. The new Jaycee President, Murray Shaw, far right, installs his officers. From left: Past President Bill Howe, Vice President Mike Epplett, Secretary Steve Price, Treasurer Bob Smith, 3rd Vice President Mark Howe, 2nd Vice President Bill Ruiter.

June 12, 1918: James White, chair of the Advisory Board of Wildlife, Ottawa, and Arthur V. White an engineer with the same department, along with Forest H. Conover visited Point Pelee, which by virtue of an Order-in-Council became a Dominion (National) Park and Bird Sanctuary. This year Point Pelee National Park celebrates its 100th birthday.

Above, is what the entrance looked like until the late 1930s.

STRAWBERRY SOCIAL - It was not your typical old fashioned strawberry social in the United Church hall last Friday evening, but no one who availed himself of the vast quantities of food, would argue the point. The supper which is destined to become an annual event, offered a wide variety of cold meats and casseroles, and as the dessert, huge dishes of strawberries and ice cream. The line forms to the left while Wayne Stickney, Earl Pinch and Gene Zaburny scoop out the dessert.

June 6, 1989: An anchor salvaged from the wreck of the 1871 barge Tasmania was loaded on to a Coast Guard ship in order to be returned to its watery grave in the of Pelee Passage. The ship was sunk in October 1905. An Ohio diver found the anchor and wanted to use it as a lawn ornament, but John Karry of S.O.S., along with others including John Nash, the grandson of the captain of Tasmania when it sank, prepared it for its return to Lake Erie.

LEGION GOLF AT WHEATLEY - Not all was serious during the Legion tournament at Wheatley’s course. Bill Howe used this unorthodox style of putting to ensure his round of “pasture pool” would be competitive.

Looking on are (from left) Al Alaers from Br. 84, Leamington, Don Taylor and Barry Thompson of Wheatley.

E.S. Thursday night men’s golf results On what was a perfect day for golf, with comfortably warm and sunny weather conditions and a track that has finally been dry long enough for the rough to be trimmed back to its normal length, individual scores for both gross and net shooters appeared to be much better on June 7 than those in previous weeks in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club.

In individual play, Brian Humphreys and Ryan Harder both shot sizzling 3 under par rounds of 32 on the front 9 for the best scores on the season. Finishing just one stroke back with an impressive 2 under par score of 33 was Kyle Humphreys. Geoff Dunmore, Neil Sawatzky and Bill Ruiter also broke par with their 1 under rounds of 34, while Brendan Fehr and Kevin Babkirk were another stroke back at even par 35.

In the low net category, George Bergen led all shooters with a 5 under par net 30. Kevin Bunda, Jason Tiessen and Ron Gardiner were only one stroke back with their net 4 under par rounds of 31. Anthony Andary, Gary Bondy, Michael Taouil, Mike MacKinnon and Wayne Quinn also had strong rounds, finishing another shot back with 3 under par net 32s.

In the skins competition there were 3 gross birdie skins picked up including Anthony Andary’s 2 on hole #3, Tim Towle’s 2 on hole #5 and John Penner’s 3 on hole # 7. In the net skins department, Kevin Heath, Michael Taouil, Gary Bondy, Jason Tiessen and Abe Bergen all picked up singles.

In the skins standings, after four weeks, Kyle Humphreys, Bill Ruiter, Greg Zimney and Tim Towle are all tied for first place with $35 each, while Anthony Andary is in fifth spot with $29 and Abe Bergen is close behind in sixth place with $27. Vic Tiessen and Ralph Warkentin are tied for seventh with $23 apiece.

In the regular team competition, the Screwballs are still leading the way with 113 points with the Crazy Chryslers just 6 points back in second place at 107. The Duffers & Bluffers had a big week picking up 18 points to move up into third spot with 100, while the Bushwhackers are holding down fourth place with 97. The Shankadelics are still standing in fifth with 90 points and the Sultans of Swing continue to hold down last spot with 75.

Progs golf results Erie Shores Proggers were treated to another fantastic day on June 5. The temps were comfortable, yet we are still waiting for the real summer to start.

The winning team ($10 each) was Joe Verhoeven, Frank Gow, Todd Hodgson, Ollie Mastronardi, Don Gemmell, Wayne Quinn, Norm Beattie, Barry Miller, Mel Davey, Jim Sudds, Carl Grossi, Bill Stackpoole, Richard Reive and Neil Sawatzky.

First high plus ($20) was Bill Stackpoole at +10. Second high plus ($15) was Bob Dick at +7. Third high plus ($5 each) was a two-way tie between Neil Sawatzky and Dick Segedin at +6.

Skins ($28 each): Vic Penner #4, Ken Segedin #7, Wayne Gillett #16, Neil Sawatzky #17.

In the group there was only one 3-putt in the entire round. That occurred on # 9.

As is wont to happen in this crazy game, Dennis Pickard unintentionally pulled a shot into the group in front. Everyone yelled fore, as is custom. When this happens, no one really knows where the ball is coming from or its trajectory. It happened quickly and struck ‡ Pete Andary in the back of STAND THE TEST OF TIME WITH A MILITARY- GRADE ALUMINUM ALLOY BODY the neck. Pete was certainly starry eyed after that. In true fashion, Pete finished his round. I suspect a big headache might be in his future.

We all hope Pete will be fine.

Neil Reimer had an unlikely bird on hole # 9. After a terrific drive, Neil bladed his approach shot that zipped through the green and almost out of bounds by the road.

Neil, however, had a shot that landed and sped towards the hole. Lucky for him the flagstick stopped the ball, allowing it to drop innocently for a bird.

I had the pleasure of golfing with Bill Conn, Carl Grossi and Matt Dick. Even the increasing years have no effect on Bill’s ball striking, the consistency with which he drives the ball is an amazing feat. Well done, Bill.

Carl had a difficult day.

His inconsistency was pretty consistent. Carl topped the ball several times. I mentioned to him that he had an early extension. This happens when, during the downswing, posture deteriorates and the trail leg pushes up instead of rotating. It sounds good to me and Carl should believe what I say. * Lastly, my friend Matt EVERY Dick showed his golfing 2 WEEKS APR prowess. One can always tell when Matt hit a solid shot.

Local boxers battle in Bronze Gloves

By Bryan Jessop Leamington’s Kelsie Parish and Tilbury’s Tyler St. John Worth have once again done their home towns proud.

Both local boxers — coached by Kingsville’s Doug Patterson — participated in this year’s Bronze Gloves tournament, held over the June 1-3 weekend at Toronto International Airport Holiday Inn in Etobicoke. Parish was entered in the Female Novice Elite division at the 60 kg weight class while St. John Worth fought in the Male Elite Novice 64 kg group.

Parish was to start the weekend Friday, June 1 with a fight against Vanessa Chan of the Combative club. The “It was a really Leamington fighter advanced with a walk out decision, close fight as Chan did not weigh in within the required range. On — we thought Saturday, Parish squared off against Baylee Joy of the Xtreme Couture Toronto club, and despite a spirited efTyler had it.” fort, lost in a unanimous decision.

— Doug “She fought one heck of a fight,” said Patterson of ParPatterson ish.

St. John Worth, who returned to box under Patterson’s guidance after some time off, was to square off against Jack Bates of the Bramalea club on Saturday. St. John Worth won the semi-final bout with a walk out, as Bates did not attend the event.

The Tilbury fighter met up with Kyle Rosal of the Atlas club for the final Sunday afternoon. Although some in attendance believed that St. John Worth should have won, Rosal was given the gold medal in a 2-1 split decision. Both Parish and St. John Worth went home with silver medals.

“It was a really close fight — we thought Tyler had it,” Patterson said of the Elite Novice 64 kg championship bout. “He did a great job. We’re really proud of him.”

On Wednesday, May 23, Kingsville’s Tiago Baltiero fought American national champion Albert Ballart of Detroit in Sterling Heights, Mich. The Canadian 16-year-old champ lost in a split decision against Ballart, who was backed by more experience to the tune of five times as many fights.

“This was a good time for him to step up his game at Visit us for great gift ideas for another level,” said Patterson of Baltiero’s Michigan bout. “It was a war for three rounds and proved that he is at that high level of boxing.”

Patterson explained that a rematch between the two national champions was a possibility, although Baltiero first set his sights on other endeavours including this year’s Bronze Gloves.

Unfortunately, no other boxers of his weight/experience class signed up for the annual tournament.

Parish, St. John Worth and Baltiero are members of Fighting Island Boxing Club and train primarily out of Seng’s Martial Arts and Fitness out of Kingsville.

Fighting Island is scheduled to host its own Home Show SERVICE IS OUR BEST PART in Amherstburg on July 14.

24 Fraser Road, Leamington In the meantime, St. John Worth will face Rosal in a rematch Saturday, June 23 in Chatham.

TT senior golfers enjoy improving weather

By Bob McLean Sixty Talbot Trail senior league members participated in their weekly league game on June 5. Now that the weather conditions have permitted the course to adequately dry, members find their golf shots getting the additional roll that is so desperately needed.

The outside crew has the course in excellent playing condition. However, the cut rough around the greens can still cause nightmares for anyone with the chipping yips.

In the inspiring super senior division, three players squared off for top spot. Bill (Scotty) Westrop led the way with his impressive 57. He was closely followed by gentlemen golfers Murray Cascadden and Gerry Becigneul.

Fred Michano’s awesome shot in to the strong, tricky wind on #9 won him the closest to the pin. Paul (Gus) Brown made a brilliant 10-footer on #2 to earn the long putt laurels.

In the 80-85y division there were three players tied with impressive 47s: Tom Hyatt, Bob Freure and Neil Adamson. Walter Balsam and Pete Daudlin were close to joining the leaders as they obtained 48 and a nifty 50 respectively. Steady Ed Woelk, Fred Takaki and Andy Orsini also played very well.

The 70-79y division found the course play to be very challenging. However, Jim (Dutchy) Hawrylk continued his dazzling play by firing a 39. Three players who achieved terrific 42s were Paul Brown, Mike Wright and Bob McLean. Rick Thompson and long hitter Al Zanuttini were a mere one shot back with their excellent 43s. Bill Ward and Doug Langlois played very well as they shot superb 44s.Vic Reynaert came in with a solid 45. Others who achieved scores lower than 50 were: Gary Benninger, Mike Getty, Pat Hill, Larry Schmidt, and Bob Scott. Nifty 50 results went to Dave Dent and Paul Harrison.

The youngest group, 50-69y, was led by Jim Pearson who fired a masterful 39. Jerry Omstead and Phil Humphries played terrific golf as they achieved outstanding 40s. Herb Reid scored a very praiseworthy 45. Other noteworthy results of 48 or less went to the following players: Steve Longeway, Arkey, Bummy, Kevin Jordan, Wiz, Randy Nash, Dave Overholt, Dave Clark and Fred Michano. Ed Fraser had a very satisfying 53!

The league thanks Bummy for arranging the first travel excursion to Willow Ridge GC in Blenheim.

All the league members are wishing Gord Chadwick a speedy recovery. We miss your enthusiasm Gordie! To all others who are presently ailing and are unable to participate, we hope you also will see improved health and hope to see you back with us soon.

There is still time to sign up for the seniors league! Scramble #1 will take place on Tuesday, June 19.

See you next Tuesday as we try to get our golf games back in shape!

Larry LeSauvage with his 1936 Chev coupe.

1936 Chevrolet coupe from Essex to Hanover Mike Hobbs of Essex bought a 1936 Chevrolet coupe in November 1992 from a local farmer: “The car had been stored in a corn crib where it sank into the mud and settled on its floor pan. That protected the floor and only minor repairs were needed on it. I was told the car had come from Michigan in the 1960s.”

Mike made several modifications over five years: “The original 6-cylinder engine was replaced by a Chevy 350 cubic inch matched to a GM 350 Turbo transmission and the rear end was replaced by a 1980 Ford Granada 8-inch, the perfect size to fit under the car.

Bill Sherk “The front fenders badly dented were replaced by fibreglass. The running boards were missing so fibreglass boards were installed. The original rear fenders, although decent, would not fit the after-market running boards so new glass rear fenders were installed.

“The front suspension is from a Mustang II and rebuilt with all new parts. The interior was stripped and new Classic Gauges installed, and an early ’80s Camaro steering column from a floor shift car was added. Lokar floor shift and emergency brake handle were installed as well. The interior fabric was installed by me.

“Prior to the interior modifications, the vehicle was painted a Dusty Lavender colour picked by my late wife from a finger nail polish. So far as we know, it was also a late 1970s Chrysler colour.”

Mike was assisted on this project by some very talented friends. At the time he built this car, he was a member of the Windsor Area Street Rod Club and the National Street Rod

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

Association.

“The 1936 Chevy has been driven in Ontario and many U.S. states including a trip to a car show in Arizona, and then down to southern California, roughly 5500 miles.”

After Mike’s wife passed away, he sold the car to his brother-in-law Larry LeSauvage of Hanover in August 2016.

Larry is thrilled with the car: “Over the winter, we matched the paint perfectly and the whole car was repainted along with new chrome. In 2017 we drove the Chevy to about 37 car shows and cruise nights. I’m looking forward to many years of driving it.”

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

NOTICE OF MEETING

Romney Wind Energy Centre NOTICE OF COMMUNITY LIAISON COMMITTEE As part of the REA requirements, Romney Wind Energy Centre (the Project) will be forming a Community Liaison Committee (the CLC) to exchange ideas and share interests with residents and members of the public and Indigenous communities during the construction and operation phases of the Project. The proposed Project consists of a 60 megawatt wind energy facility located on private and public lands in the Town of Lakeshore, County of Essex and Municipality of Chatham Kent, south of Highway 401, and extending along Richardson Side Road and east of Wheatley Road north of the community of Wheatley, Ontario.

On April 16, 2018, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) issued the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) for Romney Wind Energy Centre. The REA approval is an important milestone for the Project as it demonstrates that it is compliant with environmental and provincial government requirements. The construction phase of the Project is anticipated to begin this fall and eventually leading up to the erection of seventeen (17) wind turbines in the summer of 2019. All REA reports and REA approval notices are accessible on the project website.

The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air of Gino DelCiancio was one of about 25 vehicles attending a weekly cruise night at the parking lot across from Burgess Refreshments Wednesday, June 6. Cars brought to the event ranged from customized hot rods and muscle cars of the 1930s to 1990s to modern customized ‘tuner’ cars. The cruise nights take place at the same Erie Street South location each Wednesday from 6 p.m. to dusk. The weekly gathering kicked off May 30 and runs until Wednesday, Sept. 5. Last week’s cruise night was held in honour of Greg Bridgen, a local hot rod owner who died of heart failure a week earlier. The annual August Leamington Classic Cruisers Car Show hosted by The Roma Club will not take place this year, although several other local shows have been scheduled throughout the summer.

The customized 1933 Ford Five Window coupe of Don Joyce appeared as one of about two dozen vehicles brought to a weekly cruise night at the parking lot across from Burgess Refreshments Wednesday, June 6.

Leamington Junior Barons win 2, lose 1

The Leamington Junior Barons visited the Tecumseh Rangers on Wednesday evening, scoring four runs in the top of the sixth inning to pull off a 4-3 victory. On Saturday, June 9 the locals traveled to the Forest City and split a doubleheader with the London West Tin Caps, winning the first 10-1 and dropping the second contest 6-4.

Against the Rangers and trailing 2-0, Brett Enns walked, Kameron Wall singled and Anthony Fehr doubled, scoring Enns and Wall. Brandon Teichroeb then singled and after two strikeouts, Kyle Wall hit a clutch single scoring Fehr

and Teichroeb to pull ahead for good.

“It was a funny game,” said coach Chris Lamotte. “We hit the ball well but until that sixth inning we couldn’t cash them in.”

The Barons left 13 men on base in the seven-inning

game.

Dawson Iles, in his first start of the season, went 5 innings, gave up only three hits and struck out four. Enns got the save, throwing the final two stanzas.

Against London, Kameron Wall posted the win tossing a three hit gem. Kyle Wall and Ryan Wall had two hits each.

Kyle Wall and Kevin Fehr had four and two runs batted in.

In the nightcap, Anthony Fehr and Kyle Wall had two hits in a losing cause.

The Barons next home game is Friday, June 15 at 7 p.m. when they host the Walker Homesite Hawks.
