As reported from Environment Canada www.weatheroffice.gc.ca Harrow AAFC

By Bill Chaplin The long-anticipated business licensing bylaw reached Leamington Council on Monday, Oct. 23.

Up until then, the Municipality had and maintained a Registry of Businesses in the Municipality. This was unsatisfactory because there was no requirement for annual renewals, participation by new businesses was spotty and there were no regulations covering health inspections and the like. All this is covered in the new bylaw.

The report states: “Administration is unable to determine with any accuracy the number of businesses operating in the Municipality and as such, cannot provide an estimated financial impact associated with the passing of a business licensing bylaw.” That said, there are enough categories that essentially all types of businesses will be licensed.

The cost of licensing varies considerably, depending on the amount of work that must be put into inspection and verification of the business operation. For instance, to be a caterer, a pawnbroker or to run a salvage yard the cost will be $200, with a renewal fee of $160 per year.

To run a bed and breakfast will cost you $235 with a $195 renewal fee. A general business licence will cost $150 to start and then $100 per year renewal after that.

The home occupation licence is a one-time only fee of $150.

Over 1,000 visitors of all ages took the opportunity Monday evening, Oct. 23 to tour the new $32-million Leamington District Secondary School in the Celebration of Completion.

Hearing Aid Trial

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

OPP: online reporting another way to report crime

Excellent report for Union Water System

The 2017 Ministry of the Environment water distribution system report for the Union Water System speaks for itself: “The Inspection Summary Rating Record (IRR) generated by the inspection indicates a Risk Rating of 0%, and a Final Inspection Compliance Rating of 100%.”

BILL Kudos to the staff of the Union Water System who ensure CHAPLIN that there is quality drinking water in the municipality.

At the Oct. 23 meeting of Leamington Council, CouncilMunicipal lors John Jacobs and John Hammond wanted public congratCorrespondent ulations made considering the impact of this achievement.

Rickway Park improvements

Municipality of Leamington administration has recommended the purchase of a $47,497 (plus HST) play structure for Rickway Park.

During budget deliberations, $70,000 was approved for the redevelopment of the park, including the $50,000 proceeds from the sale of a lot. The total bill for the low tender will be $64,716 including net HST.

Community Improvement Plan changes

The Community Improvement Plan was intended to provide grants over a five-year period to act as an incentive to uptown beautification and commercial renewal. To some extent it has been successful, providing just over $330,000 in grants since 2012.

But Leamington Municipal Council has always been somewhat surprised (and frustrated) that more of the available grant money has not been used. Consequently they have had administration ‘tweak’ the rules for the grants to see if it provides sufficient incentive to use the grant money more fully.

Here are some of the changes that administration is recommending to Council: • Add $30,000 to the Building Exterior and Façade Program in 2017 and $50,000 in 2018.

• Add $20,000 to the Interior Renovation Program in 2017 and $25,000 in 2018.

• Reduce the amount of qualifying work from $5,000 to $500.

• Require only one legitimate quote on the work (as opposed to at least two).

• Flexible timelines for the work.

The revised action plan has been accepted by Municipal Council.

Councillor John Hammond spoke about his disappointment that the area of the CIP has not been changed in spite of Council repeatedly urging its expansion.

Councillor John Jacobs spoke about somehow altering the rules that allow absentee landlords to save on taxes when their properties are vacant.

Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld spoke of the compromise necessary to balance the demands that development now places on our resources as opposed to the time necessary to modify the structure and rules for programs that could come true. He assured Council that he is eager to move forward but it takes time to remove the backlog of work to make the two changes the councillors mentioned.

Leamington Active Transportation Master Plan

Essex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have issued a reminder to the public about their online reporting system as an alternative to having an officer attend a scene for a minor incident. You make the report, at your convenience, without the need to attend an OPP Detachment or call the OPP Provincial Communications Centre (PCC).

Citizen Self Reporting (CSR) rolled out across the province in the summer of 2014; however, the use in Essex County and throughout the region has been very low to date.

The OPP’s CSR system is an easy to use internet reporting tool that can be accessed from a computer or mobile device and sent directly to the OPP anywhere, anytime.

CSR provides a convenient and user-friendly alternative way to report crime and at the same time it allows the OPP to be more efficient with their resources. Frontline officers will be able to focus their efforts on targeted enforcement initiatives and crime prevention strategies within our communities.

Keep in mind, the use of this new system is completely optional. Police will still attend a call for service if desired.

Here are the answers to some questions you may have: • How do I use the system? To access the system, go to www.opp.ca/reporting • What types of crimes can I report? Thefts under $5,000, Damage to Property under $5,000, Traffic Complaints, Thefts from vehicles, Lost or Missing Property. Note: Only occurrences that do not involve an injury, suspect or evidence are applicable.

• Can I use this system in the event of an emergency? No, DO NOT use this system.

Call 9-1-1.

What if I want to see an officer, do I have to use the system? If you prefer, you may still contact the OPP by phone to make your report and have an officer attend. The 24 hour OPP toll-free number is 1-888-310-1122 How secure is my information that I submit online? All information submitted via the Citizen Self Reporting System is confidential and secure from hacking and other forms of electronic intrusion.

Dock repairs costly

The budget for repairs to the GH docks at the Leamington municipal marina was $480,000. The problem is that the least expensive tender for the work was $884,488.

Manager of Recreation Services Terry Symons has proposed to raise the cost of docking boats larger than 50 feet to $60 per foot and postponing some maintenance work in order to mitigate the over-expenditure, but it will still result in dropping the reserve balance to $198,000 after paying for the overage.

Fall memories of the old Leamington arena

Despite the unseasonably warm weather, other signs indicate that fall is here.

The autumn colours are out there full-force, the monarchs have migrated and geese are flying everywhere.

And so begins my favourite time of year.

As a kid, I spent countless hours outside in the fall.

Those leaf piles, that seemed to somehow rake themselves, were a joy to jump and roll around in. There is no better fall smell than burning leaves.

Our yard at Point Pelee was littered with fallen walnuts.

Those thick green outer cores were nasty if they broke open on your clothes. We often threw them at each other, but if you got hit, it hurt, especially if you took one on the noggin.

Along with fall, came our minor hockey season, which usually began in late September.

That old arena was a welcomed place in the fall, after not skating since the previous spring.

That was when kids played hockey, from September to March. There was always something for us to do in the offseason, like baseball or soccer, but when hockey ended, it ended.

Nowadays, they seemingly play year-round. I don’t believe in that. Kids need something else to do, or I’m convinced they’ll grow sick of the game.

Numbers for hockey are waning, and I believe that’s one of the biggest contributing factors. That’s too much hockey too soon for a lot of these kids.

As the Lovin’ Spoonful once sang, “Slow down, you’re movin’ too fast.”

Back to that old arena. We left there after our final game in March, gathered once more for the wind-up banquet, where wieners and beans were the main menu item, and then only saw the arena once during the summer and that was when the fair was on (unless you were a roller hockey fan).

Climbing those stairs in September for our first practice of the new season was more exciting than winning a championship. Taking a deep breath as we passed through those doors from the lobby that led into the ice area, that musty mix of cold, stale air and ammonia was the perfect mix for us hockey hopefuls. The only other smell you encountered was when you opened your hockey bag downstairs to get your skates sharpened by Mr. Towle.

We’d all been practicing our wrist shots in driveways for a few weeks now.

The excitement of entering that dressing room for the first time was only matched by the anticipation of who was on your team that year. It was always a treat to find out who you’d be playing with.

I played with a lot of schoolmates in those days, but also met some lifelong friends through playing hockey in that old arena.

When we were real young, it was a treat if you got to dress at the north end of the arena. The rooms were bigger back there and it kind of felt like you were important if you got to dress at the back.

When I played Juvenile travel, we dressed back there for all of our homes games. We parked our cars back there too.

So many memories come flooding back.

I remember Mike Gianetta throwing his stick into the crowd during a peewee house league game, striking an unsuspecting Cheryl Dunmore, who was there watching her brother, Brad ‘Tornado’ Dunmore, on the opposing team. It was team photo day and Mike was embarrassed and upset that he’d thrown his stick in the crowd. To this day, when I look at that team picture, I remember it as the day he threw the stick. In the end, Cheryl was no worse for the wear and all was right with the world. Mike’s dad was part owner of the Seacliffe Hotel and they were our team sponsor that year.

I also remember Tracy Wiper hitting the queen with a slap shot.

Let me explain.

I can’t remember if it happened during practice or during pre-game warm-up, but there used to be a nice portrait

of Queen Elizabeth that hung at the south end of the rink, above the canteen windows. Greg Sellon may have been the goalie on that fateful night.

I’ve never been great at ‘raising’ the puck. People who have seen my shot would characterize it as anemic. I’d often get the old, “Careful, you’re gonna hurt somebody with that.”

Not so for Tracy WipMARK er. His shot was what RIBBLE legends were made of.

He didn’t really know where it was going, Rib’s so if he wound up for Ramblings the slapper, you either closed your eyes and wished it away, or you got out of there quick.

On the night in question, he stepped up and let it rip. It careened high above the glass and nailed Her Majesty right between the eyes.

Many of us spent the remainder of the season trying to duplicate that. It never happened again, that I ever saw.

Some other great times we had in that old building included climbing into the press box and pretending we were Foster Hewitt or Danny Gallivan. If you got there early enough, sometimes Whitey Hillier had already unlocked it for the timekeepers, so we’d sneak up there in total darkness and behold the rink below us. As a kid, it felt like you were in an NHL rink.

Speaking of Whitey Hillier, he is front and centre at another great old fashioned memory.

I’m a little foggy on this because I was a spectator and not actually playing in this game. A fight broke out in a Juvenile travel game that the referees couldn’t get a handle on. It may have been at the post-game handshake after a fightfilled game, but my memory isn’t clear on this. Suddenly the north end gate opened and there was Whitey with a fire hose, which he immediately turned on the combatants. They stopped fighting pretty quickly and order was restored.

For years, it was known as ‘the night Whitey used the hose’. I’m sure the legend grew and got exaggerated as time went on, but it was a sight to behold.

Bench clearing brawls were somewhat the norm back then, especially in the Juvenile division. And those old bench boards were easy to jump over.

One night, I got myself ejected for jumping those boards in a Juvenile game.

We were playing against archrival Riverside here and a scuffle broke out in the southeast corner. Riverside was already on the powerplay. My normal defense partner, Matt Phibbs, was tackled by two or three of those pesky Windsorites. As they pounded his back, I decided to go join him, clearing the boards in one swift motion and skating to help my teammate.

Everything goes in slow motion during those instances.

I remember the adrenaline pumping like crazy as I left the bench. I also remember my coach Cliff Quick screaming loudly at me to get back to the bench. But it was too late. I had already committed to going and never looked back. I’m sure my mom was mortified as I skated into the fracas.

I don’t remember much more. I wasn’t a fighter, so I likely got the worst of it. I think even Phibbsy wondered what the heck I was doing out there.

Coach Cliff was livid after the game. I was suspended by the league for the next game as a result of it. It never happened again, but it was a memory of that old arena that still pops into my head from time-to-time.

I remember the night the aforementioned Brad Dunmore broke his leg when he and I were racing for puck during an icing call. I think that was in a midget house league game.

I had what I considered some great hockey coaches over the years and I believe they had a hand in shaping all of us kids into the adults we became. Some are still with us, some are gone, but they each played a part in molding me, not only as a player, but also as a human being.

Legion prepares for Remembrance Day ceremonies

By Bryan Jessop Being in two places at the same time doesn’t sound easy, but Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion committees have again set out to again accomplish just that.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 324 will, for the second consecutive year, organize both the Remembrance Day services at cenotaphs in Leamington and Wheatley this coming November 11. Both services will begin at 11 a.m. and organizing committees recommend visitors arrive at the cenotaphs — located immediately south of the Caldwell First Nation office building at 14 Orange Street in Leamington at Dieppe Park and directly south of the Chatham-Kent Public Library at 35 Talbot Road West in Wheatley — by 10:45 a.m. The service in Wheatley will be preceded by a 10:30 a.m. parade from the Legion building on Erie Street North to the cenotaph. Without a Legion Colour Guard available in Leamington, there will be no parade prior to the ceremonies in the larger of the two communities.

The Wheatley Legion first took on the coordination of Remembrance Day services in Leamington following the surrendering of the charter at Branch 84 during the summer of 2016. In recent years, ceremonies at both locations have been greeted by crowds averaging 200 people.

“Leamington people who were involved stayed involved, so it wasn’t a vast difference, except for the parade” explained Wheatley Legion president Bill Robertson of the similarities in participation numbers both prior to and following the permanent closure of the Leamington Legion last year. “It was one of their better years last year, although the weather was better than usual. Dieppe Park was packed.”

Robertson noted that despite this year’s Remembrance Day falling on a Saturday, invitations to local schools have again been sent out to attend ceremonies in both locations.

Also in both communities, an average of 25 to 30 wreaths are laid in honour of Canada’s military veterans past and present. In both locations, these include wreaths placed on behalf of federal, provincial and municipal levels of government as well as service clubs, first responder services, churches, some schools and community individuals and families, often in honour of loved ones who’ve passed away.

Wreaths for Remembrance Day services cost $50 each.

Robertson noted that orders for wreaths can be placed up to Tuesday, Oct. 31 by calling the Legion office at 519-8254161.

Ceremonies at the Wheatley location will be emceed by Bill Siddall and David Derbyshire while Leamington’s will

Wheatley Br. 324 Legion news

be led by past president of the defunct Leamington Legion Bob McKee. In preparation of Remembrance Day, the Wheatley Legion has formed three committees — one for Leamington, one for Wheatley and a third to organize the Armistice Banquet at the Legion in Wheatley for Friday, Nov. 10. The banquet is open to the public at $20 per person, starting with cocktails at 6 p.m. and dinner to follow at 7 p.m. The event is being catered by The Car Barn.

The yearly poppy campaign will launch in Wheatley, Leamington and the rest of Canada on Friday, Oct. 27 and run until November 11. Poppy boxes will be displayed at local businesses, with volunteers offering the symbols of remembrance on the streets in front of pre-determined buildings November 3 and 4.

“We always like to let everyone know that we’re not actually selling poppies, we’re just asking for donations in return — as little or as much as you like,” Robertson explained.

All poppy fund proceeds raised beyond expenses support veterans’ dependence services and programs and activities for local veterans’ hospitals. As part of the Western Counties wing, Leamington/Wheatley poppy donation funds go towards the Parkwood facility in London, Ont. as part of St. Joseph’s Hospital. Veterans hospitals across Canada support and care for those who served Canada’s armed forces in WWII and the Korean War and more recently, younger veterans who served in locations such as Afghanistan. Locally, poppy funds have also paid for wheelchair access at the Wheatley Legion with automated doors installed earlier this year.

“The Legion is very thankful to the citizens of both Leamington and Wheatley for their generous support in the past,” said Robertson.

For the first time in several years, a rifle party will fire volleys during the service in Wheatley. Mike Hicks will return to Wheatley as bagpiper while Glen Selleck will be present playing the bugle. Although not formally scheduled as of press deadline, remembrance services are expected prior to local junior hockey games leading up to Remembrance Day — Monday, Nov. 6 in Wheatley for the Junior C Sharks and Thursday, Nov. 9 in Leamington for the Junior B Flyers.

T-MURR EXTERIORS

BUSINESS PROFILE

T

It’s a true family business in every sense of the word

-Murr Exteriors began about 24 years ago as a way for the Murray family to make a little extra money for mission work — work so important to this family. Once his regular roofing job was done for the day, Tom Murray and his sons Greg, Spence and Trevor headed back out, determined to earn enough money to support a cause near and dear to their hearts — mission trips.

Tom has been on more than 20 mission trips helping those in need by building them simplistic shelters.

He has traveled around the world, offering his expertise and skill to those less fortunate. But he hasn’t done it alone; it’s a family thing.

Like father like son, Greg said he too has been on about eight or nine trips serving as outreach to those in underdeveloped areas.

Greg Murray and his dad, and T-Murr founder, Tom Murray.

AX T E R O BEF

Each year the demand grew for new siding and roofing. Tom had a decision to make and formed a partnership with six others to try and meet the ever-growing demand.

He knew then that he had a decision to make so he also expanded his services to include windows, insulation, eavestrough, garages, pole barns, doors, decking, waterproofing and additions.

“

EVERY DAY IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT - AND NEVER BORING”

In addition to installation and renovations, T-Murr also deals in the retail end of the business. Tom said they joined TORBSA, a Canadian Buying group, which gives them the opportunity them to purchase their home building goods like any lumber yard or big box store in Ontario.

In its first year the roofing and siding company did five houses. The following year though, with his sons attending school while working nights and weekends, Tom and his gang completed 22 houses.

Just one of many beautiful houses T-Murr has sided in the area.

Y hstar o R E V E FOR Nort

Wednesday, October 25, 2017

“We’re the only ones in Ontario in the buying group whose own employees do the installation,” said Tom. Father and son Greg are now in a transition of sorts.

About three years ago, Tom decided it was time to slow down and Greg decided it was time for him to step up. So for the past three years, Greg and his wife Jenna have gradually been buying the business and now serve as the vice-president and general manager.

“It just made sense,” said Greg, “this is all I’ve ever known.” Tom will continue with his annual mission trips while Greg will offer his outreach a little closer to home, within the community.

Greg will continue doing what he does best — installations, renovations, additions, siding, waterproofing and selling.

For him, every day is a little bit different — and never boring. “One day I can be waterproofing,” he said, “the next day I can be siding.”

“I can do something new every day,” he added.

T-Murr Exteriors employs about 20 people and is located at 1964 Road 3 East, Kingsville. For further information call 519-326-8551.

After taking their place at the start line in Wigle Creek, the ducks jostled for position in this nailbiter that ended near the historic bridge.

After some encouragement it was Kelly Dewar’s duck that crossed the line first, earning her $500. Her duck was RESIDENTIAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS followed closely by the KCPC duck ($250) and the duck “From the ground up” owned by Pina Darowski ($100).

Seacliff Manor opens its doors

By Bryan Jessop One of Southwestern Ontario’s most unique retirement residences celebrated the completion of construction and welcoming of its first tenants with a special event last week.

Seacliff Manor held at VIP Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on site Wednesday, Oct. 18 before a gathering of about 60 guests. Hors d’oeuvres, beverages, speeches, presentations and a social meet and greet between supporters and community partners preceded the facility’s official ribbon cutting event.

Festivities were emceed by Debbie Ouellette and featured a list of speakers led by Piroli Developers Group owner Rob Piroli as well as Leamington mayor John Paterson, senior project manager of Baird AE Architectural and Engineering Consulting Services Firm Alex Toth and Seacliff Manor general manager Sara Cusenza.

“Our location “Seacliff Manor is our commitment to the belief that healthy aging is a part of living,” Piroli noted. “Leamis amazing and ington is a great place to live, work, play and retire.” we’re very proud to Piroli went on to note that the new retirement residence facility — located at 30 Seacliff Drive East — be locally owned was established to offer an assortment of accommodaand operated.” tions for senior tenants that offer upscale apartments, — Sara Cusenza independent living, supported living and memory care.

“This facility and the one built and the other on the way right now (buildings 1 and 2 of Seacliff Heights, respectively) add an immense amount of value and security to the future of Leamington,” explained Paterson. “This kind of development happening just creates a great deal of excitement and we have a lot of other businesses and industries now looking at Leamington in a much more positive manner.”

Paterson also pointed out that once Seacliff Manor begins operating at full capacity, an estimated 100 or more jobs will be added to Leamington’s workforce — up from the approximately 20 currently employed at the site. Staff at the residence will take on different functions at the four-floor building, including independent supportive service and on the second level, dedicated to assisted care and memory living.

“It’s a beautiful facility that’s going to provide the quality of care and quality of life that anyone who becomes a tenant here is going to appreciate,” said Toth.

Seacliff Manor, managed by Sifton Properties Ltd., welcomed Alan Cranston as its first resident Tuesday, Sept. 5 as it received its license to officially begin operation. The building and its 117 units are now at about 20 per cent occupancy and will soon be filled to nearly 50 per cent once another 30 per cent who’ve offered deposits have sold their current homes.

“We’re very happy with how everything is turning out,” said Cusenza. “Our location is amazing and we’re very proud to be locally owned and operated. Our amenities are much more than anything else out there yet our prices are comparable. We’ve had a lot of great testimonials.”

Construction on the residence began in June of last year shortly after Seacliff Heights One — the first of two upscale apartment complexes built on the same grounds — was completed. Seacliff Heights 2 construction began in June of this year and is scheduled for completion in early November of 2018. Each of the 105 units of Seacliff Heights 1 was ocFROM cupied in April of this year, 10 months after its doors officially opened to its new occupants.

Piroli explained that he hopes to see Seacliff Manor reach capacity within less than twoand-a-half years following its opening.

“We’re exceeding expectations,” he said. “Apartment sales are strong and we’re delighted that in a three-year period, we’ll have finished the three phases of this project.”

Piroli explained that with the exception of minor permit-related delays at the beginning of Phase 1, the construction process at Seacliff Heights and Seacliff Manor have gone smoothly.

“We like to focus on one or two projects per year so we don’t get spread out too thin,” he explained.

LDSS 1972 Grade 13 Graduates Meet For Reunion

In 1972, seventy-nine Grade 13 graduates walked “out of the river” (Phoebus) of Leamington District Secondary School and embarked on a journey “into the ocean” (Phoebus) of adulthood.

Forty-five years later, on the weekend of October 13-14, twenty-eight students and two teachers, coming from near and far, reconnected for a weekend of fun and reminiscing.

The group met at Jose’s on Friday night and on Saturday enjoyed golfing at Kingsville Golf & Country Club followed by dinner. An aura of amiable familiarity permeated the atmosphere as the participants exchanged personal stories, both happy and sad.

Attending the reunion were, back row, left to right: Elaine Driedger, Sandy Pritchard, Penny Arp, Ernie Cornies, Frank Ehrenreich, Sue Batchelor, Karen Brown, Lori Lachowski, Dennis Staudt, Wayne Wharram, Larry Cornies. Front row, left to right: Violet Armaly, Anna Preyde, Pat Pridding, Paul Pridding, Helen Beaupre, Doug Hillman, Art Hickson, Rose Marie Lane, Mona Massad, Jacquelyn Cornies. In front: Nick Lutsch.

New sidewalks for Oak St. W.

Municipality of Leamington administration has asked for permission to spend $179,320 for new sidewalks along Oak Street from Nicholas St. to Fraser Rd. The tender also includes some uptown infilling. When all of the expenses are taken into account (along with a $15,000 contingency allowance) the price is $246,573.

This will be an extremely complex undertaking due to the need to relocate a water valve chamber ($60,000), and to move some hydro lines. Funding will come from the Public Works capital budget, the Engineering capital budget, a contribution from Union Water and a charge to General Infrastructure Improvements.

A pest outbreak in the fall of 2016 left all bell pepper growers in the Leamington area highly concerned. Pepper Weevil (Anthonomus Eugenii) is an unconventional pest that a regular Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system cannot maintain and cannot be spotted by humans which makes it nearly impossible to catch early on. Once the pest spreads, it is essentially a death sentence for the crop as no beneficial bug is strong enough to combat it and sprays just irritate the pest forcing it to reproduce more.

Cam Lyons, Research and Development and IPM Technician at NatureFresh™ Farms, realized that there had to be a solution and conducted countless development sessions.

“Dogs are very intelligent animals. Many worker dogs are trained to recognize and discover scents associated with drugs or bombs, so it seemed possible to train a dog to recognize pepper weevil.”

After a lot of research, NatureFresh™ Farms adopted Chili, a 15-month old female Belgian Shepherd who was bred as a working dog. Chili underwent 8 weeks of training and was certified by the American Working Dog Association who verified that Chili was the first dog certified for pest related scent detection on a farm. This certification also allows Chili to work in the farm without any food safety concern.

Chili works alongside Tina Heide, an IPM scout and her handler. The duo begin their days by searching the perimeters of the greenhouses, main aisle ways, inside trucks, pallets and near pack lines - and of course, Chili’s day is comprised of many breaks to ensure she doesn’t get too hot or tired. When Chili detects the scent of Pepper Weevil she will sit and stare at the location of concern. This allows Na-

Major renovations at Rec Complex

By Pat Bailey It’s an amazing Leamington facility, one that may get overlooked by residents.

Over the past year the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex (LKRC) has been undergoing a dramatic transformation, one designed to make the Complex more energy efficient as well as more visually attractive.

For Geoff Stephenson, a relative newcomer to Leamington and the supervisor of Membership Services and Marketing for the LKRC, touring visitors around the Complex is a real pleasure. He takes great pride in the facility and is especially thrilled to show off the recent upgrades, made possible with the approval of Council.

“This facility belongs to the people of Leamington,” said Stephenson, “and it’s so nice that Council has continued to be so progressive (when it comes to maintenance).”

The original portion of the facility, the Frank T. Sherk Complex, was built in 1985, so it was certainly due for some upgrades, said Stephenson. The double-pad arena portion was added in 2000, resulting in a 179,000 square foot facility.

Throughout the years, Stephenson said the facility has served the town well, but time, daily use and the elements have taken a bit of a toll on the windows, the stone exterior and the pool area ceiling.

And in an age when energy conservation is so vital, it was also time to replace the boilers, the windows and insulation to make the facility a much more efficient entity.

In the long run, Stephenson believes that the savings will be huge.

So far, the Complex has undergone hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of upgrades.

The rusting pool ceiling has been blasted and repainted and the pool ceiling roof drain has also been replaced. The exterior wall adjacent to the pool has been insulated and sided, and the pool room window replacement process is nearing completion.

Stephenson notes that some racquetball courts have also been refinished. They were completed in preparation of the Junior Racquetball Championships that the LKRC hosted in the summer.

Another major program included is the upgrading of lighting throughout the Complex where the existing lighting was replaced by LED lights.

While regular visitors may not notice many of these changes, Stephenson said they will certainly pay off when it comes to daily costs of running the facility. The domestic boilers have been replaced by a much more efficient yet much smaller system. The Sherk-side sewage pump has also been replaced and a new Zamboni door and separation wall have also been installed.

While many of the upgrades are completed, Stevenson said that others are yet to come.

The arena portion of the LKRC will see the replacement of the dehumidification system, the complete replacement of the ice plant’s evaporative condenser unit on the roof and the rebuilding of the Sherk elevator.

Stephenson also mentioned that in addition to the physical changes in the facility, the staff has also been diligent in working to give the residents of Leamington what they want when it comes to programming.

He was thrilled with the response of an online survey completed over the summer, resulting in adjusting and adding some programs to help fulfill some of the wishes of its membership.

One important aspect of the facility, said Stephenson, is to promote a healthy living lifestyle.

Special PA Day activities Growing such as shinny hockey and Since 1921 swimming will be offered on Nov. 17.

With thousands of visitors on a weekly basis, many due to minor hockey games and the strength of the Leamington Flyers organization, Stephenson said the LKRC is a real community gem.

At the end of the day, Stephenson said he would just like members of the com239 Rd 5 Between Hwy 77 and Albuna Townline munity to realize that the OPEN MON - SAT 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM LKRC has so much to offer for people of all ages.

He is also thankful for www.simpsonorchards.ca Council’s support. “The

Ride For Refuge fundraiser helps provide hope

Ride for Refuge in Leamington was a great success. Two local teams, the Pedal Pushers and the Windsurfers, joined together at Point Pelee National Park on Saturday, September 30, participating in support of Christian Horizons at this annual fundraiser.

Money raised will go towards donor-funded programs that are not funded by government support. More specifically – thousands of people who experience disabilities will have access to inclusive education in four developing countries and hundreds of local families participate in special opportunities like family retreats.

So far this year, Christian Horizons has raised over $70,000 thanks to the help of 278 participants and 1,620 donors. In the Leamington area alone, participants raised just over $2,000.

The Ride For Refuge is a well-loved event for Christian Horizons because it creates an opportunity for everyone to belong, regardless of ability or disability.

municipality has really stepped up in bringing it back to its original glory,” he said.

“The main goal of the investment in the Complex is to improve the customer experience and renew the pride in our facilities,” said Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld. “It is the commitment from Council that shows that LKRC is an integral part of the Leamington community.”

Don’t reuse passwords, warns Privacy Commissioner Recent trend in breaches raises alarm

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) is urging individuals to stop reusing passwords and businesses to require employees to reset their passwords in order to curb a recent trend involving breaches that are similar.

In recent months, the OPC has received several breach reports from companies that suspect their systems were accessed by individuals using valid customer or employee login data. It’s believed the criminals had obtained the data from previous, unrelated breaches that resulted in username and password combinations being published online.

“There’s a simple way for individuals to prevent these types of password reuse breaches: don’t reuse passwords,” said Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien.

“Businesses also have a role to play. They should require employees to change their work passwords if they’ve ever used the same one elsewhere. Companies should also remember that an employee’s password should not be their only line of de-

Essex County OPP laid several charges during Operation Impact

The motoring public is reminded that although enforcement initiatives are held throughout holiday weekends during the year, officers are and will continue to enforce these infractions every day.

“A reduction in the number of motor vehicle collisions investigated by OPP members across Essex County this past Thanksgiving as compared to last year is refreshing news,” said Detachment Commander Glenn Miller, Essex County OPP. “The instances of motorist not adhering to posted speed limit signs continues to be identified as a concern with Essex County OPP members laying the highest number of speeding charges throughout West Region. Speed is a major contributor to motor vehicle collisions and we urge the public to respect all posted speed laws.”

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Essex County participated in Operation Impact on the Thanksgiving weekend. Several Provincial Offences charges were laid, including the following: • 227 speeding charges • 3 seatbelt charges • 1 distracted driving charge • 63 hazardous moving violations • 1 impaired driving charge/exceed 80 mg blood alcohol contest (BAC) • 1 warning range suspension Essex County OPP officers investigated 29 motor vehicle collisions this year between October 6-9, compared to 38 last year at this time.

Vortex blank Lions in senior football

By Bryan Jessop Excluding the location, the 2017 regular season ended precisely the same way it started for the Leamington District Secondary School senior football team.

The Lions were shut out 41-0 by the visiting Tecumseh Vista Academy squad Friday, Oct. 20 — the same score by which Leamington fell to the Vortex on the road in Game 1 about five weeks earlier. The virtually impenetrable TVA defense has allowed zero points against in the first five of its six 2017 games this season. The 208 points the Vortex has accumulated over those same matches is also by far the most effective offense in the five-team WECSSAA AA Tier II division.

Tecumseh threatened to score early in Friday’s game, establishing a first and goal on the Lions’ seven-yard line.

“We had a few A defiant LDSS defense however kept the game scoregood drives today less after the Vortex’s first possession. The visitors’ perand I’ve seen sistence later in the quarter — with just over two minutes remaining — earned them a nine-yard touchdown run development from our through the middle of Lions’ defensive line. On the first younger players.” play following the ensuing kickoff, Leamington surren— Jason Primeau dered possession of the ball on a fumble near midfield.

The hosts recovered their own third-down punt at the Leamington 37-yard line early in the second, but allowed another nine-yard sprint for a 14-0 Vortex lead near the middle of the quarter. The Lions came painfully close to breaking the eggshell in TVA’s Points Against column with a possession that had at one point advanced to first and 10 on the guests’ 11-yard line. Leamington played the second down at Tecumseh’s six-yard line and moved as far as the two-yard line after the third down to lose possession one yard shy of earning a first down.

While the Lions continued to rely primarily on a rushing game, the Vortex began advancing more through the air in the second half. The visitors made a successful onside kick to start the third quarter, gaining control of the ball on their own 54. From there, they gradually advanced to Leamington’s 13-yard line before a passing play concluded in the end zone for a 21-0 score.

Turnover trouble continued for the Lions later in the third, with two consecutive possessions ending with fumbles recovered by Vista defenders — first at Tecumseh’s 27-yard line and then on Leamington’s 34. The latter eventually translated into a 10-yard touchdown pass with PAT for a 28-0 Vortex advantage early in the fourth quarter. The Lions’ offense committed another fumble during a third down play on TVA’s 49-yard line, eventually leading to a seven-yard touchdown run and unsuccessful PAT attempt.

Leamington committed yet another fumble on the following kick return, this time giving up the ball at the 55-yard line. Scoring ended on a one-yard touchdown run for Tecusmeh with a PAT kick that split the uprights.

“We’ve come a long way since the first game of the season,” noted LDSS head coach Jason Primeau, who explained that Friday’s handful of first downs against the Vortex easily surpassed the one his team’s offense managed in the mid-September match against the same team. “We had a few good drives today and I’ve seen development from our younger players. There were Air & Sea Inc. some tackles made by play(formerly UTI) ers we didn’t expect.”

One of Leamington’s biggest challenges through the latter stages of the 2017 • Customs Brokerage • Air/Ocean/Truck Freight • season was injuries — key • Contract Logistics • players including Billy Michelle Woelk 519-563-8146 Friesen, Andy Froese and Xavier Leonard sat out FriMichelle.Woelk@ca.dsv.com day’s games while tending to injuries. www.ca.dsv.com

Bryce Gabriel of the Lions eyes an opening to gain a few more yards on a punt return against the Vortex in WECSSAA senior boys football action at the former Leamington District Secondary School site Friday, Oct. 20. The final regular season game ended in a 41-0 win for Tecumseh Vista Academy, who played their entire five-game schedule without surrendering a single point.

Leamington finished the five-team AA Tier II division in fourth place at 1-4.

“We’ve definitely been short bodies,” said Primeau. “Everybody got a chance to play today.”

The Vortex have become the one Tier II team to advance to the AA playoff rounds while the Lions will finish fourth at 1-4. The 2017 schedule will end for Leamington with an exhibition game against the Blenheim District High School Bobcats on home field Thursday, Oct. 26 with a 1:30 p.m. start. With only three varsity teams after the Petrolia-based Lambton Central team folded at the beginning of the season, the Lambton-Kent Secondary School Athletic Association league schools set up exhibition games versus WECSSAA opponents for more experience prior to their playoff schedules. Excluding two forfeit wins, the Bobcats are 2-2 with losses to Wallaceburg and wins versus John McGregor in Chatham.

there be two leagues of three five-team divisions each. The divisional alteration wouldn’t cause much of a ruckus, but essentially dissolving the American and National Leagues?

That’s the element that inspired the title for this column.

It’s been awhile since the AL and NL have truly operated as separate entities, although there’s still the difference in approach to the designated hitter (the American League has them, the National League does not).

The general conversation indicates that there’ll instead be four conferences —West, North, East and Midwest, each with eight teams. Why not simply accommodate two-team expansion by transforming each league’s three divisions of five into two divisions of eight? Presto, the top two teams of each division face each other and the single-game wildcard nonsense becomes obsolete (although I guess that COULD happen either way). Major League Baseball is chomping at the bit to expand the playoff picture, which could easily be accommodated by allowing 16 teams to qualify — first versus fourth and second versus third in each division. I’d prefer just the top two from each division advancing to the post season for the sake of more evenly matched first rounds, but I realize that money talks.

Nope, instead they’re looking at EIGHT total wild card spots, with winners to take on the divisional leaders. So yeah, the odds of a mediocre team grabbing a wildcard spot by the skin of its teeth and then getting lucky enough to pull off a fluke victory in the wildcard round only to get pummeled by a divisional leader grow significantly. Yawn. Yes, considering only divisional status allows teams with lower winning percentages to make the playoffs while stronger teams miss out simply because those qualifiers are in weaker divisions (it happens a lot in the NFL). Chances are, however, that if you finish second in a group of eight, you probably deserve a ticket into the post season. Additionally, you can ensure an opportunity to print “2021 AL East Champions” t-shirts or raise “2022 NL West Champion” banners again.

Also up for consideration is cutting the regular season schedule down from 162 to 156 games, giving each team one day off per week and allotting more time for the extra playoff games. Actually, I’m okay with that one. It provides a bit of relief from ‘baseball burnout’. The new schedule would also cut down on travel costs, since divisions would be arranged with time zones in mind. Perhaps the best part is that the two New York and two Chicago squads would finally be in the same division. Yes, I’m a purist, but even I’ll admit that denying more opportunity for geographical rivals to go head to head is asinine.

Alright, I suppose the proposed changes aren’t ALL bad.

It’ll be interesting to see how fans react to the elimination of the American and National Leagues. What will become of the designated hitter? What about the All Star Game? Who plays who after divisional leader vs. wildcard winner series are done? There’s no set in stone timeline on the changes, but I guess we’ll find the answers to these questions soon enough. Hopefully, the Tigers will find their way into the weakest of the new divisions.

Dylan Marchand of the Southpoint Capitals Atom Grey team takes the puck down the ice in a game against Kingsville Purple.

Atom Grey loses to Kings

On Sat. Oct. 14 the Southpoint Capitals Atom Grey team travelled to Kingsville to take on the Kings Purple team.

Rowan Arthurs, Cole Gossmann, Cohen Kimball and Cole Carreio were solid in the first period as they battled hard before Kingsville was able to slip one past Caps netminder Jozef Zieba.

The second period started off with good opportunities being traded at both ends. Max Youseff earned a Capitals goal by drawing the goalie to one side of the net and firing a strong wrist shot toward the opposite side. Carson Koehler and Chase Simpson earned assists.

It wasn’t long before Kingsville answered back after sneaking one in from a tight angle to tie the game.

Lucas Grillo was able to get the puck to Carson Stadler who had a chance at a wraparound but was stopped by the Kingsville goalie.

In the third period, the defensive core of Mario Lopez and Eli Robertson moved the puck well out of the Caps’ end and kept the puck in the offensive zone in order to enable forwards Owen Pimentel, Dylan Marchand and Dylan Konrad a number of chances, but the Kingsville goalie was shutting the door.

Kingsville took the win 2-1.

On Sat. Oct. 14 the Southpoint Capitals Novice Blue, sponsored by Leamington Chrysler, travelled to Essex to take on host Essex Novice Teal.

The Capitals pressed early and Sean Amaral was able to get the first goal with assists from Jackson Weil and Logan Konrad. The defensive makeup of Brady Walker, Mason Wiper, Jack Williams and Landon Hilderbrand did a great job protecting their zone, while Sonny Coppola fiercely defended the net.

In the second period, Chase Collins with a high hard shot was able to find the back of the Essex net. The assist came from Brayden Hutchingame. An end-to-end rush by defenseman Brent Pimentel ended with a shot right between the pads of the Essex goalie to tie the game at 2.

It was at the 9-minute mark of the third period when Chase Collins got the lead for the Caps when he beat the Essex netminder. Great offence by Connor Rumble, Max Mastronardi, Mason Wiper and Kyle Bradley. Blake Epplett scored his first goal of the season to end the game with a win for the Capitals!

Pelee reveals new campground

By Bryan Jessop For the first time in four decades, overnight camping is available to the general public at Point Pelee National Park.

The local Parks Canada site celebrated the official opening of its oTENTik campground Sunday, Oct. 15 with an open house event that drew a steady stream of visitors despite heavy winds and sporadic rainfall. More than 100 guests made their way through Camp Henry’s trail of 24 camping structures within the first hour alone, getting an up-close glance at the sites and their amenities.

Most of the two dozen oTENTiks were locked during the open house, but two remained accessible to welcome visitors for views of their interiors while one offered free Smores and another hot dogs via their respective fire pits. Unofficially, Point Pelee’s new campground — the first made available at the ‘Tip of Canada’ since the 1970s — opened with the first reservation made on October 5. None of the 24 sites are expected to be available for weekend rental until November or December of this year.

“They’ve been “Although very popular,” exoTENTiks are at plained Point Pelee campgrounds across the National Park country, the accommodavisitor experience tions here offer a differmanager Monique ent experience than other Oltrop. “Although oTENTiks are at national parks. We’ve campgrounds across already had people from the country, the all over using them.” accommodations — Monique Oltrop here offer a different experience than other national parks.

We’ve already had people from all over using them.”

Visitors to Camp Henry’s new sites have hailed from across Essex County and Chatham-Kent as well as Toronto, Detroit, Kitchener, Ohio and in one case, Indiana.

Although there are slight variations of sites at Camp Henry depending on each area’s topography, all oTENTik structures are a mix of prospector tents and miniature A-frame cabins situated on raised, 19’ x 24’ wooden floors to accommodate up to six guests. Each building offers two queen sized and one double bed, tables and chairs, dishes, hydro and either wood burning stove or gas heat. Outdoors, each site includes a bar-

Guests are encouraged to bring their own sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, cooler-transported food and drinks, flashlights, insect repellent, matches and lighters. oTENTik sites do not include running water, although a central comfort station with flush toilets and showers is available on Camp Henry’s grounds. Each group making a reservation is also entitled to one parking space situated near the camp’s main entrance from the park’s main road.

Construction of the overnight campground began about a year-and-a-half prior to its opening, based mainly on the establishment of trails, washrooms and other amenities. The oTENTik structures themselves were pre-fabricated and took about a month to assemble upon arrival at Camp Henry. Additional park staff were hired to book reservations at the grounds and to clean and maintain each of its 24 sites.

Rental fees for each oTENTik site is $120 per night for a minimum of two nights. Camping is available year round.

1951 Mercury a blast from the past!

On a recent drive through Aylmer I saw a dazzling ’51 Mercury coupe heading down the main street. Suddenly, it pulled over and parked. I parked too, jumped out and introduced myself to Terry Dans, owner of the sleek-looking Merc.

He found the car about 15 years ago near Guelph. It looked pretty good until they got the car home. The frame was badly rotted and had to be replaced. The rebuilding took about two years, and Terry’s good friend Chuck McCallum helped with a lot of the work.

Terry had a ’49 Monarch which supplied dashboard and parking lights (unique to the ’49 model year). A ’54 Chevrolet grille was installed with two extra teeth for a total of nine, the headlights were frenched into the front fenders, and spotlights were mounted on the wind$ +HST $ shield +HST posts. $ The rear license plate frame says “Flatheads Forever”, and when Terry Ready for re-homing. 12 weeks old. opened the hood I saw the 4 females and 3 males available. original 255 flathead V8 Call Cara 519-324-2794 punched out to 270 cubic or Dave 519-919-3217 inches, along with finned

first year Mercury had an automatic transmission. The column shift has been replaced with a floor shift. And the interior is completely redone in beautiful burgundy and white.

The hood and trunk have been shaved as well as the outside door handles. The car has been lowered and chrome lakes pipes run the full length of the rocker panels.

The front and rear bumpers are stock as well as the entire suspension.

Power steering and power brakes were added six weeks ago for added safety.

When fully dressed for a cruise, the front wheels carry ’57 Dodge Lancer wheel covers and the rear wheels have teardrop bubble skirts.

And the gleaming 2003 Olds Red Firemist Metallic on the car is an absolute knockout! The name “Dragon Lady” is on the trunk lid in honour of Terry’s wife.

The Southpoint Sun - 29

Canadiens beat Sharks in final second of the game

By Bryan Jessop The Wheatley Omstead Sharks wore pink for their first annual breast cancer fundraiser, but players and coaches alike were seeing red after a controversial call that cost them at least a point.

The Sharks’ Paint the Pink Rink event — the team’s first annual fundraiser for the Ontario Breast Screening program at Erie Shores Health Care in Leamington — ended on a bitter note on the ice, as referee Kyle Vermast insisted that a Steven Sartor shot crossed the Wheatley net’s goal line prior to the sounding of the third period buzzer. Despite verbal protests from Sharks coaches and players who insisted that the initial late-game shot hit the post and the second shot crossed the line after time expired, the tiebreaking goal officially stood as being scored at the 19:59 mark for a 5-4 final score.

Sharks assistant coach Ken Shine noted that even if video evidence of the final play had been recorded, OHA guidelines would not have allowed it to serve as the basis of a formal protest.

“You can review a suspension that way, but not a goal — not at this level,” he explained. “It’s disappointing for the kids, but it’s a feeling that they’ll remember and that’ll serve them well in the end. Every one of them is sick to their stomach right now.”

The Canadiens applied heavy offensive pressure through parts of the first frame, although Sharks’ blueliners were able to keep the visiting team’s forwards away from rebounds long enough to prevent second opportunities. Wheatley was able to counter with considerable offensive pressure of its own, testing their former netminder Eric Morneau with eight shots while Dylan Zelko blocked nine.

The only scoring of the first 20 minutes was a wrist shot off the stick of Antonio Ciampa from the point to the right of the Lakeshore net. The low shot skidded just inside the left post and over the line before bouncing back out. Delaney MacDonald drew the single assist.

The Sharks turned their game up another notch for the second frame, where they outshot the Canadiens 16-6. Eric Larue tied the game for Lakeshore about eight-and-a-half minutes in with a deflected shot that spiked upward and over Zelko’s stick. Roughly four-and-a-half minutes later, Cole Butler recaptured Wheatley’s lead after a shot struck Morneau’s mask before being poked over the goal line from in the crease. MacDonald and Ciampa assisted.

The Sharks forced their guests to commit several turnovers inside the Canadiens’ blue line while keeping scoring chances to a minimum at the other end of the ice.

Dawson Iles of the Sharks tries to take control of a bouncing puck while Lakeshore’s Luke Mahon, Hunter Bailey and Kyle Brothers approach.

Larue scored his second of the night 35 seconds into the third period on a flukey bounce from the left side of the net before his team took its first lead about two minutes later on a Hunter Bailey wrist shot that found the far side of Zelko’s net. Butler evened the score after taking a forward pass from Dawson Iles to beat Morneau with a breakaway shot, deflecting a shot off the iron that found the mesh. Mitch Lantin also assisted.

Kyler Carter slid the puck between Zelko’s left skate and the post from behind Wheatley’s net during Lakeshore’s only power play to regain the Canadiens’ lead. During a Sharks’ power play and with their netminder pulled for the extra skater, Butler took another pass from Iles and while situated to the left of the guests’ goal, buried a shot before Morneau could adjust his position. Drew Denomey earned the other assist on the marker, scored with 59 seconds remaining.

Sartor’s controversial game winner came at the end of a play where the Sharks struggled to clear the puck away from the front of their net.

Each team fired 30 shots as the Canadiens were one for one on the power play and the Sharks were one for two.

“It was a great game,” said Shine. “We forechecked well again, we forced the play on them and we cleared the puck out. The third period was about experience. We played a very experienced hockey club and we’re not there yet. That’s two in a row where we deserved a point but didn’t get one.”

During and after the game, the pink jerseys worn by the Sharks were sold in a silent auction. The amount raised for the Ontario Breast Screening program in Leamington was not yet available by press deadline, but a reveal is expected before the Monday, Oct. 30 7 p.m. home game against the

Petrolia Jets. The Oct. 23 match was preceded by a puck drop by local cancer survivors Angie Cronheimer and Cheryl Carmichael and Barb Colaizzi of Erie Shores Health Care’s Department of Women’s Health Care.

Wheatley’s winning streak ended at five with a 3-2 regulation loss in Mooretown Saturday, Oct. 21. Alex Mosher and Jake Pickersgill tied the game at 1-1 and 2-2 before the Flags’ Ryan Lyle finished the scoring with about seven minutes left in the second period. The counter indicated that the Sharks were outshot 61-32 with Zelko making 58 stops in the Wheatley net, although Wheatley head coach Dave Wiper noted that the ratio was likely closer to 42-30 because of a seven-minute Mooretown power play. Special teams made the difference, as the Flags scored all three goals with the man advantage, going three for six on the power play. Wheatley was held to zero for three.

“There’s no way they had 61 shots,” Wiper said of Mooretown’s offensive productivity. “They played a good game, but we deserved a point out of that one.”

Also on Saturday, two Sharks participated in the first-ever Provincial Junior Hockey League Prospects Day for 16- and 17-year-old players. One of the four games in New Hamburg pitted the Western Conference’s Stobbs and Yeck divisions against one another. Sixteen-year-old forward Cameron Cronheimer of Wheatley and seventeen-year-old defenseman Matt Carvalho of Leamington scored the game-tying and game-winning goals respectively in the Stobbs’ 6-5 regulation victory.

The event was part of the Flyers’ annual Pink at the Rink fundraiser in support of breast cancer patients and research, which also included the auctioning of pink jerseys worn by the Leamington team during the Thursday, Oct. 19 game. A sum of $2,165.85 was raised through the auction, 50/50 ticket sales and donations. The Flyers went on to win the game 5-2.
