The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) students have developed a campaign and are ready to have a presence in Leamington with the creation of informative window displays to celebrate National Youth Week starting on May 1st.

The students will be implementing this program with several uptown Leamington BIA businesses during the first week of May. The MYAC students have partnered with the Specialist High Skills Majors Class from LDSS under the supervision of Mr. G. Egglezos, to form teams to create the window displays which will be judged by a Council appointed panel.

Window displays will reflect various themes such as: Drug and Substance Abuse, MADD, BIA store products, Eco-Friendly solutions, Birding, National Veterans Day, etc.

The Leamington MYAC was initiated by Mayor John Paterson in the fall of 2012 to allow interested youth a structured forum to become involved with their municipal leaders and to express their opinions to Council on important recreational and social issues. Mayor Paterson, Councillor Larry Verbeke, OPP Constable Kevin O’Neil and Brenda Fischer, as municipal liaison, meet with the youth on a monthly basis throughout the school year to share information on current events, and to hear the voice of the youth and acknowledge that their opinions do matter. The MYAC students develop lifetime skills and they foster a greater sense of belonging and pride within their community, encouraging them to remain, or return to their hometown in adulthood. Currently, the MYAC consists of 10 students from Cardinal Carter Secondary School and Leamington District Secondary School.

Area residents are encouraged to visit the uptown Leamington BIA this May to observe the various displays. Each display will be visibly marked with a certificate naming the students who created the display, and featuring the sponsoring logos.

A complete listing of storefront names and addresses, together with student names and theme of display will be featured on the municipal website as of May 1, 2014.

To view the listing, select the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee at http://www.leamington.ca/en/municipalservices/boardsandcommittees.asp

Gleaners fundraiser a huge success

By Bryan Jessop The Leamington location of the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners has found itself on the receiving end of a community-wide charitable gesture.

The organization’s second annual Spring Fundraiser, hosted by Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens Friday, April 25, was greeted by a huge showing of support from individuals, community groups and corporate sponsors alike. This year’s annual Spring Fundraiser hauled in an estimated $25,000 by Monday morning (April 28), with more donations expected to roll in by some time today (April 30). Last year’s inaugural event raised approximately $15,000.

Money raised came primarily through the sale of tickets to the event’s chicken and buffet dinner.

Selling at $25 each, nearly 600 individuals purchased tickets to the dinner, where a raffle and silent auction also helped generate proceeds. Community sponsors also stepped forward to help make this year’s fundraiser a success.

“It’s amazing. We exceeded the number of people that we thought would show up, that’s for sure,” said Gleaners’ treasurer Tina Quiring.

This year’s Spring Fundraiser exceeded the $25,000 mark in part through a contribution of more than $3,100 from the Leamington Rotary Club, which raised the money through a wine raffle. The Gleaners caught Rotary’s attention about a year-and-a-half ago, when Rotary president Mary DeGoey witnessed a church presentation on how the organization turns food waste product and transforms it into sustenance for thousands of impoverished

people.

“As soon as I saw the presentation, I knew it was something I wanted to support,” said DeGoey.

Previously, DeGoey and her husband ran a local farm that left her wondering why something beneficial could not be done with wasted produce.

“I’ve always said ‘if there was only a way to use this’,” she explained.

Winners from the wine raffle included Rose Witcher, Sara Gannovichess, Jordann Moir, Krystal Martens, Kathy Goundry, Keri Soulliere, Miranda Guenther, Ralph Will and Anna Mae Will.

The Spring Fundraiser featured live musical entertainment by local musicians John and Michele Law as well as Bob Gabriele. Local dignitaries Rick Nicholls (Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP) and Taras Natyshak (Essex MPP) offered introductory words during the meal, followed by the presentation of the Rotary Club’s contribution by DeGoey to Quiring and SWO Gleaners chairperson Jim Founk.

Money raised will help offset ongoing expenses at the Gleaners’ local branch at 40 Industrial Rd., Leam-

ington. The labour and materials required to make room for a four millionBTU industrial dryer ran a cost of about $8,000 while the installation of bigger gas lines to accommodate the machine came at a price tag of about $9,000. The facility also employs two part time production managers and a full time general manager.

The cost of the dryer itself — similar to units used in Cambridge and Moorefield, Ont. — was about $160,000. A large portion of its cost was covered after a man stopped by the Leamington location in September of last year and requested a tour. Following the tour, he wrote the Gleaners a cheque for $100,000 and walked out the door, requesting anonymity.

“We were just shocked,” Quiring recalled. “It happened on Sept. 11. It’s great to be able to look back on that date now and remember something wonderful happening instead of just being reminded of tragedy.”

On Wednesday of last week, the dryer was fitted with a government certification sticker, officially approving its usage. The device, which dehydrates food byproduct so it can be packaged into three-pound

bags that can feed up to 100 people, will become operational this week.

Food sent through the dryer and packaged can be stored for several years before it is shipped to its destination, further ensuring that it does not go to waste.

The Gleaners hope to run the dryer and accompanying equipment in halfday shifts every day for 50 weeks per year, utilizing

about 35 volunteers per day.

Another smaller line may be added later in the summer, which would then put 50 volunteers to work per day.

At that point, a sum of 250 volunteers will be needed.

There are currently about 200. The SWO Gleaners hope to see the number of students amongst their volunteer ranks reach about 15 per cent.

Food material that is un-

usable to the Gleaners will be sent through a digester that will create organic matter for farming soil, ensuring that no amount of product goes to waste.

Food packages prepared by the Gleaners have been sent to Haiti, parts of Africa, Bulgaria and Ukraine. The food is distributed by charitable groups including Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), the Red Cross and Samaritan’s Purse.

Hydro increase not fair to small business If you think you’re already paying too much for electricity, get ready, because as of May 1st small businesses and households will be paying more for hydro.

The Ontario Energy Board has announced the approved changes, which will especially affect small businesses that must operate during peak hours. Peak hours are weekdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The price increase for peak hours is the largest increase at .6¢ for a total of 13.5 ¢/kWh. That’s an increase of 4.7 per cent.

We all know that small and medium sized businesses account for the majority of jobs in this province and across the country. Industry Canada reported that in 2012 (across Canada) over 7.7 million employees, or 69.7 percent of the total private labour force, worked for small businesses and 2.2 million employees, or 20.2 percent of the labour force, worked for mediumsized businesses. In total, small and medium businesses employed about 10 million individuals, or 89.9 percent of employees.

The Ontario statistics were only slightly lower with 88.5 per cent of the private labour force being employed by small and medium sized business.

What is a small business? By Industry Canada standards it employs 1-99 employees and a medium size business employees 100 to 499 employees. Most local businesses fall into the small category with the exception of some production and manufacturing plants. Small businesses accounted for 66.6 per cent of the workforce in Ontario in 2012.

The small business owner is taxed municipally, provincially, and federally. A 4.7 per cent increase in hydro rates is a big jump and, of course we’ll be paying more tax on those larger hydro bills. It’s not a very nice way to say thank you to the largest collective employer of the province – small business.

Unless we change our business hours to work through the night, most businesses really can’t do much about the increase except grin and bare.

Quick Facts • Time-of-use prices vary based on when electricity is being used. They encourage consumers to use electricity during lower-cost times.

• Most Ontario households use about two-thirds of their power (64%) during off-peak hours.

• These price changes only affect households and small businesses who buy their electricity from their local utility.

The Ontario Energy Board is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a sustainable and efficient energy sector that provides consumers with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost.

A perfect day!

If you could create your perfect day, what all would it include? One arrived for me spontaneously, totally unexpected, which made it even more special!

Sunday morning I lay in bed watching the minutes on the clock tick by, contemSHANNON MATHESON plating whether or not to meet my friends at the end of the road. Realizing I had one minute to get there, I texted to say I was coming and would catch up with them.

Recognizing my jogging pants and Lifestyles... shoes, Anna’s dog, Chance, reacted by BROUGHT TO YOU BY: wagging her tail wildly and whining happily. Poor Charlie watched us forlornly from the front door as we took off running, hoping to catch up. Not my preferred way to wake up but it certainly worked!

Chance and I ended up ‘heading them off at the pass!’ I actually had enough time to catch my breath before they met us. After that Chance pulled me along for nearly the entire walk. I could have used the help when we were running!

Our conversations are always good. Once we were in the Wheatley Park we spotted some flowering dogtooth violets and it looked as if the wild onions were ready to burst into flower as well. In the lower, wet areas the marsh marigolds were also in full bloom. Spring was sprouting all around, in spite of the cooler temperature caused by the cold lake water.

I arrived home refreshed, hungry and craving a coffee. Nothing much better than some warm java and not having to rush off to work or anywhere else. After breakfast Mark and I headed out to the yard. He had his mind set on opening the pool and my goal was to clean the deck in hopes of getting it stained within the next week. The power washer is definitely a powerful and addictive tool. It was amazing how new I managed to make the deck look without raising too much wood grain. After finishing the deck I turned my efforts to the bricks and ended my power washing whirlwind by scouring the stones around the entire pool area. If my back hadn’t cried for a break our roof might have lost a few shingles!

I dug in the soil and checked the status of all the perennials silently making their way up through the ground. The fern fiddleheads are yet to poke up, but I anticipate their vibrant green fronds to appear after the predicted rain and some more sunshine.

Everything looks bright and clean and ready to accumulate a lot more living. The pool is open! I doubt that we will be slipping in any time soon, but it invites us to sit around and enjoy it. Opening a pool takes a lot more work than closing one, but the feeling reminds us of the hot summer days yet to come.

We are down to three people in our home now. Richelle, from Fort McLeod, has lived with us for the last three years. She has finished her program at St. Clair College. Her father flew in and together they loaded up her little grey bug and headed out the next morning for their 48-hour drive home. We will miss her. She left her room immaculate, which I greatly appreciated. Midst our goodbyes she hinted the fact that she’ll be back for a visit sometime soon.

Meanwhile, I anticipate Michaela’s visit home for her shower, and the overlapping arrival of our son, Cheyne, from school. If we are lucky and the stars align, the five of us will sit together around the table soon, and enjoy a family dinner.

Life is good and my Sunday was nearly a perfect day. I can’t think of a thing I’d have done differently. My shoulders are sore, my legs ache and my hands have dried from digging in the parched earth. Maybe the key to perfection is not planning too much, but rather just letting things arrive with the sunlight. If the time between that first moment and climbing between the sheets at the end of the day is filled with wonderful company, peaceful moments and fulfilling accomplishments... enjoy!

Letters to the editor Community support outstanding We would like to publicly thank everyone who made the spaghetti dinner benefit on Apr. 26th a success. The kindness, generosity and support from our community is outstanding. Our goal was to help support Ian Tate and Darlene Pursel cover the costs of Ian’s medication that isn’t covered by Ontario’s drug plan and we were able to make a huge dent in that cost.

The Wheatley Legion contacted us and offered to host a fundraising benefit for this family. They provided the venue, the volunteers, the set-up, the clean-up and the food (that was largely donated by Faubert Meats and The Superstore). Thank you, to Bill Robertson and the executive and members for doing this for our family. Karen, Judy, Rick, Sheila, and Michelle, you worked tirelessly to ensure there was enough food for everyone and clean tables to sit at. Your efforts were noticed and appreciated.

Many people donated raffle prizes for this event. It amazed us how many people came to us with donations. Thank you, to each of you: Ruth Owens, Marguerite Setterington, Jennifer Setterington, Lisa Setterington, Charles Diab from The Lesson Lounge, Reis Appliances, Larry MacDonald, Kym Brundritt, Maggie’s Flowers, and Ursula Tiessen from Counter Effects. Our raffle was a huge success thanks to all of you.

People came to us with donations of services and money to help us advertise the event. Thank you, Rick Latam from IKL for designing the posters, Zippy Print, and the Southpoint Sun. Dale Butler and the Last Friday Coffee House donated half of the ‘Pass the Hat’ to our fundraiser, thank you.

Friends, family and local businesses used their contacts to sell tickets for us: Rachelle from Color Plus, Charles Diab from The Lesson Lounge, Wheatley Party & Discount Store, the Wheatley Legion, Bill and Karen Robertson, and Rick and Ingrid Latam. We sold out… and then some.

Thank you, thank you, to Homegrown Saturdays for providing the entertainment. It was a great idea to host the pasta dinner on the same night as the monthly Homegrown Saturday. The people attending the benefit enjoyed the music of Nicole Barron, Northern Radio with Jeremy Wolting, Lionel and the ukelele jam, John Moran, Benny Pallotto, Francine Leclair, and Larry Dalbello.

Even though Darlene and Ian live in Oshawa, they still come “home” to Leamington for haircuts, dentist appointments, shopping and local events. Being so far away we were limited in the ways we could help after Ian’s diagnosis. By hosting the benefit pasta dinner and the Spring Concert on May 4th at 3 p.m. at the Leamington United Church we could help raise money to offset the costs of medications and daily trips into Toronto. We couldn’t offer this kind of support without our community. Thank you, we are grateful for everything you have done for them.

– Sincerely, Heather and Justin Latam

OPP thanks community for Cop Camp support On behalf of the cOPPs for Charity and Cop Camp Committee, as well as Essex County OPP, a huge thank you is in order for all citizens of Leamington who contributed to the success of our Annual Grocery Packing Day to raise money for the 20th Annual Essex County OPP Cop Camp.

Not musically inclined...

I always wished that I could sing (and people would actually want to hear it) or play a musical instrument. The truth is I can’t carry a tune in basket and music was the one class I almost failed in elementary school.

It’s not my fault. I was born with this voice and I was never introduced to any type of music lessons. No one in my family is musical either, because I hear it is an inherited talent. That’s my excuse anyways.

In elementary school my music teacher would tell me not to sing, so I didn’t throw off the rest of the choir.

My idea of high and low is louder and softer... But I do appreciate those who can bring a crowd to their feet, or a tear to your eye. I had no idea just how powerful music is. A good upbeat song can change your entire mood – for better or worse.

In our office at least three times a day we all give a large sigh when “Human”

by Christina Perri comes on the local station. You know the song – the chorus is a shrill “I’m only human.” It really does get on your nerves and shifts your mood. Another song that gets on my nerves, but isn’t

exactly a mood changer is the hit from Frozen – “Let It Go”.

Of course, if you are a girl age 3 to 13, the song “Let It Go” is number one and they can recite every line from the movie.

On the other end of the spectrum is Pharrell Williams’ upbeat tune “Happy”. Again, we hear this about three times between 9 and 5. Even if I’m in a bad mood, this song just seems to pick you up without annoying you. There is a fine line between catchy and annoying in somgwriting.

Almost every weekend around Wheatley and Leamington you can find a

local band or one-man band playing. This area is blessed

Theatre Kent presents Out of Order

Little Tomato Theatre presents “Annie Jr.” Little Tomato Theatre has somehow forgotten that notable little redhead Annie Warbucks in producing everything from “Seussical” to “Peter Pan” to “Beauty and the Beast” and more over the last ten years!

This year’s show is “Annie Jr.”, which features a cast of 78 kids ranging from ages 5-18 and they hail from all over Essex County, but mostly from Leamington, Wheatley and Kingsville. In fact, Annie {Jessica Chalmers} made the trying trip over the last three and a half months to wintry, bi-weekly rehearsals from La Salle as did the Annie understudy, Larissa Porteous from Harrow.

Once again this unique theatre group has recruited the parents of cast kids to do props, hair, make-up, setbuilding, painting, costumes and much more.

The show will run at UMEI Christian High School, just north of Leamington on Friday, May 9 (2 daytime school shows and opening night); Saturday, May 10 (a matinee and a night performance) and will close on Mother’s Day, May 11 with a matinee for moms!

“With many of our teenaged stalwart performers from the last few years moving on to bigger and better things at university and college, we figured it was time to get younger in this local, cyclical world of kids’ community theatre,” said director Terry Raisbeck.

Theatre Kent is presenting the British farce, Out of Order, by Ray Cooney, from May 1 – 3, at the Kiwanis Theatre, Chatham. It was the winner of the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in its original London Production, and has been presented the world over in a dozen languages.

Set in London, England, at a suite in the Westminster Hotel, in the 1980s, it tells the story of Richard Willey, a Junior Cabinet Minister, who sets up a dalliance with his mistress, the secretary to the leader of the Opposition.

Out of Order is a quintessential British farce. We see unfaithful husbands, married mistresses, cagey waiters, a belligerent hotel manager and a mysterious uninvited guest, to name a few.

Who will find them out?

Will it be Mrs. Willey or Mr. Worthington? And who is the uninvited guest?

The show features a host of local actors – Al Lozon, John Harris, Derek Parry, Chris Aldred, Maureen McLachlin, Ed McLachlin, Chrystal Horst, Eric Bristow, Jackie Beatty and Melissa Dahms.

The show is directed by long-time fan-of-the-farce, Janice Sellen, who says, “This Ray Cooney farce ranks as one of my favourites. It is a fast-paced, laugh-a-minute show that is guaranteed to please everyone.”

Tickets are available at a cost of $17 for adults, $15 for seniors and $12 for students at the Cultural Centre box office, online at www. cktickets.com or by calling 519-354-8338. They will also be available the evening of each performance.

The show begins at 8 p.m.

Strategic Plan update

In his fourth or fifth update on progress on the Strategic Plan adopted by Municipal Council back in January of 2013, Leamington CAO Bill Marck outlined activities that have been undertaken as part of the timeline for achieving the goals of the plan. Much of what was mentioned sounded like a synopsis of normal activities by administration, organized according to the seven goals of the strategic plan.

At the April 28 Council meeting, Mr. Marck reviewed progress on completion of the financial BILL plan, development of the succession plan, sewer CHAPLIN separation progress, and other promotion and business retention initiatives. He concluded with the comment, “It is important we continue to pursue strategic planning to ensure the Corporation moves Municipal forward with action plans which will benefit the Correspondent economic wellbeing, and growth of Leamington.”

In response to a question from Councillor Hilda MacDonald about what, if any, priorities he would change or add in emphasis, Mr. Marck pointed out that he thinks it is very important that Leamington Council service employment lands so if an interested industry looks at Leamington there is a location it could easily exploit.

Councillor John Jacobs asked if there were hints of any new business opportunities in the future, and Mayor John Paterson was able to make reference to specific expressions of interest, both institutional (hospital expansion plans) and industrial (expansion hopes of an established business).

Councillor Jacobs was pleased with the reassurance and commented that it is the ‘little’ corporations that hire 30 to 50 workers that are the lifeblood of the community, and he looks forward to the future.

Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright was pleased to add that the loss of Heinz seedlings resulted in a local business finding new customers in Nigeria, an example of the silver lining that a cloud can have. “This adversity with Heinz has helped put Leamington on the map more than anything else has recently,” he commented.

Cacciavillani honoured at Multi Cultural Council awards night The Multicultural Council of Windsor Essex County honoured Mayor Eddie Francis of Windsor and Floyd Cacciavillani of Leamington at its awards gala held on April 24th.

With the recent passing of Herb Gray on April 21, the event was especially emotional as both recipients and organizers paid tribute to the four decades of service that Gray dedicated to the Windsor Essex community.

Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis was awarded the Harmony Award, which was established to recognize individuals or groups who have actively promoted the social equality of all cultures and who have made an outstanding contribution to encourage and build a community that is multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-faith.

Leamington’s Floyd Cacciavillani was awarded the 2014 Champion Award. The Champion Award celebrates the contributions that immigrants make to our community.

Floyd Cacciavillani emigrated from Italy in 1948. Leaving behind a war-ravaged land, Floyd came to Canada on his own at the age of 18, landing in what he felt was paradise. He knew immediately that he wanted to make Canada his home and country.

Floyd’s first job was working on his uncle’s fruit and vegetable farm in Leamington, but he was soon able to return to the masonry work that he had learned from his father.

He apprenticed and quickly became a journeyman stonemason and bricklayer. In 1954, he and his wife Bruna married and settled in Leamington, purchasing a fruit and vegetable farm with their combined families. Family has always been the centre of their lives, and Bruna has been with Floyd every step of the way.

In 1956, Floyd built his first greenhouse using salvaged materials and kept building – growing cucumbers, tomatoes, and flowers. Eventually, he sold greenhouses and it was estimated that he had helped construct almost half the greenhouses in the area.

Floyd has been actively involved in the farming commu-

nity. He was instrumental in launching a farmers’ co-op and a greenhouse marketing board so that farmers could keep a larger share of the profits from their crops. Floyd and a colleague foresaw that the greenhouse industry could not grow without a larger, more consistent labour force and, with the help of Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan, were able to get a “guest worker” programme off the ground. This programme has been a huge boon to the local economy.

Floyd also introduced many important greenhouse innovations such as computerized environmental controls and automated fertilizer-injection systems.

In addition to farming, Floyd has an aptitude for business. The family farm has grown into the multi-faceted CF Group of seven independent companies with more than 100 employees. CF encompasses CF Industrial which sells and services stand-by power systems, as well as companies that provide warehousing and distribution, heat “co-generation” technologies, and both commercial and residential property.

Floyd believes in the importance of giving back to the community. It began with assisting new immigrants: acting as an interpreter during appointments with doctors or lawyers, or helping them fill out loan applications or write business plans. He is one of the founders of Leamington’s Roma Club, and in the early days, could be found evenings working as a volunteer bartender in his black bowtie. Over the years, he has been everything from Board member to an avid bocce player with the club. He feels particularly gratified by his many years of service on the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Board and, later, on a county-wide health council.

Floyd has been personally recognized with awards such as the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, Leamington District Memorial Hospital Award for Outstanding Service, and the Dr. Bob & Bess McGirr Historic First Family Award.

Floyd was introduced by his son Cole and joined by his wife Bruna and daughters, as well as other family and friends.

Leamington nurse receives RNAO Lois Fairly award

By Pat Bailey It was written in the cards – well actually in the fortune cookie.

“You will soon receive something very special because of your charm,” was the fortune Eva Lewis pulled from her fortune cookie, following a dinner of Chinese food on Good Friday.

She laughed after reading it and tossed it away.

But when the phone rang just three days later, she was reminded of that little piece of paper. On the other end of the line was Jennifer Johnson, president of the RNAO-Essex Chapter.

Immediately, Lewis, a 45-year veteran nurse at Leamington District Memorial Hospital, thought she must have forgotten to pay her dues or something similar.

Instead, she was told that she had been named the recipient of the RNAO Lois Fairley Community Service Award.

The award, a memorial to celebrate the 38-year nursing career of Lois A. Fairley, who died in 2007, is given in recognition for the care and compassion to patients and contributions to the field of nursing.

Lewis was left speechless. And for anyone who knows Lewis, she is rarely at a loss for words.

Among 28 nominees, Lewis’ nomination and letters of support that accompanied it convinced them that she deserved the honor.

Lewis said John Fairley, Lois’ son, then told her that from all he had read about her, she sounded eerily similar to his own mom.

This, said Lewis, left her in tears, barely able to speak.

“I was so touched and humbled,” said Lewis of being named the recipient of such an award. “It’s the highest form of praise,” she added, “I’m so touched and humbled.”

But it’s Lewis who has touched the heart of so many, both patients and their families.

“I’m so proud to be part of the nursing profes-

sion,” said Lewis. “I believe it is what I was born to do.”

And through the years, Lewis has worked in virtually every area in the hospital and found her entire career extremely rewarding.

“I’ve had the privilege to nurse patients from their very first breath,” said Lewis, “and hold their hands as they took their last.”

“The OR is a very fast-paced, technical world,” said Lewis, “where no two days are ever the same.”

And she said she didn’t earn the accolades on her own.

“I work with an amazing supporting cast,” said Lewis, “each nurse is unique and brings something different and special to our department.”

“They are a team, a team of highly skilled experts,” she added.

Lewis said she never really thought much about her interaction with her patients and the Eva Lewis, a nurse for 45 years at Leamington District Memorial Hospital, was named the recipient of the RNAO Lois Fairley Community Service Award. Lewis impact she has had on so many lives. one of 28 nominees. On the left is a picture of Lewis in the earlier days of her To this dedicated nurse, compassion and her was nursing career. outgoing nature have served her and her patients well.

And last week when she was presented the award at the Windsor Regional Hospital’s Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Campus Prince Road, it just further confirmed to Lewis that her efforts had not gone unnoticed.

FULL FIGURE FASHIONS It also reminded her of the changes that have occurred within her profession in the past four decades.

Large to 3x She said when she went through nursing school it was a hands on and hospital-based program.

From glass syringes and glass IV bags, to technological changes in charting, to advances in diagnostic equipment, Lewis said the advances have been astounding over the years.

Lewis is certain changes will continue at a rapid pace. And she plans on being a part of those changes. Despite being 65, Lewis has no immediate plans to retire.

Ten Thousand Villages hosts Sir Winston Churchill Chapter IODE Soli Deo Gloria Singers practice for their spring concert, “How Can I Keep From Singing?”, which will be performed May 3-4.

Soli Deo Gloria Singers to present “How Can I Keep From Singing?”

The Soli Deo Gloria Singers, under the direction of Paul Dueck and Nancy Dyck, will present their upcoming spring concert “How Can I Keep From Singing?” the weekend of May 3-4.

Singing is defined very succinctly as “The production of musical tones by means of the human voice.” While technically accurate, that definition does not reflect all that singing is and all that it does. Singing is something that is done for pleasure and entertainment, for comfort, for education, for ritual and for profit. We hum tunes to ourselves at work or at play, we sing in church, we sing in small groups or large choirs, we sing in unison and in harmony, and we may sing in the shower. We sometimes awaken with a song in our head and members of the Soli Deo Gloria choir often have difficulty falling asleep after rehearsal evenings because they can’t get the last song that was practised out of their heads.

Singing can have both a calming and an energizing effect on us. It can resound in jubilant tones of great joy or gratitude and it can soothe an aching soul with comforting words and soft, gentle melodies. Scientific studies suggest that singing can improve one’s health by increasing lung capacity, improving mood and relieving stress.

For this spring concert, the Soli Deo Gloria Singers ask, along with the composer, Robert Lowry, “How Can I Keep From Singing?” The concert begins with his original composition and ends with a contemporary arrangement of the same song by Eric Nelson. Between the two “bookends” of “How Can I Keep From Singing?” you will hear songs of praise, including Handel’s Antiphonal Alleluia and Greg Gilpin’s Jubilate! (Sing Joyfully!). The gentler, soul-comforting side of music will be expressed in a male chorus arrangement of Precious Lord, Take my Hand and Standford’s Beati Quorum (Blessed Are They). They will deviate somewhat from the format of past concerts in that the music will feature four songs by the women of the choir, as well as four numbers by the men’s choir.

Join the Soli Deo Gloria Singers as they sing, in the spirit that the choir’s name suggests, to the glory of God.

On Wednesday evening, April 23, the volunteers of Leamington’s Ten Thousand Villages hosted an evening with members of the Sir Winston Churchill Chapter IODE. An informal meeting was held in the local store at 2 Talbot St. W. The meeting was both informative and social, with an opportunity for Ten Thousand Villages to share their story from the beginning of Fair Trade in 1946 to present day aid and support to many under-developed countries.

The two diverse groups have a common goal, in that they are both working for the betterment of the world – the IODE communitywide and Ten Thousand Villages globally.

Ten Thousand Villages is open to hosting other groups and this could be considered and arranged by contacting 519-324-0471.

Leamington survived great fire of 1883 Almost every village, town or city has had a major fire that has left its imprint upon it. Many of those fires occurred in the 1800s when there was an abundance of hay, wooden structures, a lack of effective firefighting equipment, unpredictable weather, and of course human folly.

While Leamington has had its share of maC. SCOTT jor fires at spots like the HOLLAND Wigle Block, Talbot St. West, the four corA look at ners, Bennie Lumber Leamington’s and many others along its outskirts over the past... years, none can touch the overall impact of the May 18, 1883 fire. That first major blaze eliminated all but two downtown buildings, thus devastating a bustling, thriving community.

Leamington had existed formally as a village for nearly a decade when it suffered that fire on Monday, May 18, 1883.

Shortly after 1:00 a.m., fire broke out in a shed at the rear of a millinery store owned by a Mrs. Vanzandt (sic).

The location was on the south side of Talbot St. East. The two-storey millinery shop was one of many wood frame buildings that rapidly caught fire, but the owner did manage to remove her goods to a nearby location before the fire engulfed the structure and spread uncontrollably to nearby premises. As luck would have it, the location to which she had moved her merchandise was subsequently destroyed.

Initially, the fire traveled eastward to an old building owned by W.A. Harris and occupied by George Breeze as a harness shop. Charles Holton lived in the upper portion and escaped with his family. As it moved further eastward it struck the Marten, Whyte and Co. Bank, an upper apartment where a Mrs. Truax lived, a select school where Miss Coulson taught, then to the Golden Beaver which was Martin Truax’s hardware store. Its easterly destruction stopped at M.E. Land’s music and bookstore.

As it moved westward the fire took out Curtis Tedrow’s dry goods store and grocery store, George Lynn’s frame building that was used by Angus McSween as a dry goods and grocery store, the William McSween property which

odist Church. By this time, strong southeast winds fanned the fire northward but somehow Leamington’s original town hall was saved.

Richard Prosser’s blacksmith shop owned by W. S. Pastorius of Harrow, a couple of small buildings owned by John Hubner, J.W. Manchester’s gunsmith shop and a two-storey frame building owned by tailor J.S. Robinson were gutted.

Further damage was done to another 23 businesses and buildings. It was claimed that the light from the conflagration could be seen as far away as Amhertsburg and Windsor.

Some houses along the perimeter were in danger from flying sparks but none caught fire. Explosions at various times startled many people, and the fire department itself had its own problems.

It was said that the department’s “old hand fire engine did not work properly till most of the property was destroyed.”

People thought that the fire’s spread might have been prevented had it not been for “an excited twist of the hose by some raw hands which burst the suction pipe.” Before it could be fixed properly the HIGH fire had wiped out the business section, leaving about QUALITY five acres of smoldering deLICENSED bris.

“Art Quilts” by Betty Ives have travelled around the world and won numerous awards.

The Southpoint Sun - 13

“Meadermental, Too” by Ken Friesen is a celebration of the spring bird migration season.

LAC presents two new exhibitions The Leamington Arts Centre (LAC) is presenting two new exhibitions in May. One is “Art Quilts” by Betty Ives. Betty was first introduced to quilting in the early 1970s by her mother-inlaw, making bed quilts and quilting by hand. She loved it, and in 1985 made her first art quilted wall-hanging.

Ives’ quilts have travelled the world and won numerous awards. Machine quilting is now the trend for Ives as she has so many ideas to be completed. Her love for quilting will never end.

The other exhibit is “Meadermental, Too” by Ken Friesen. In celebration of the spring bird migration season, Friesen is presenting over 30 new acrylic paintings, as well as miniatures and notecards. Point Pelee National Park is renowned as the best location in inland North America to observe the northward migration of songbirds. Birders come from far and wide to experience this special event. Mid-May at Pelee has become a birding festival with thousands of enthusiasts celebrating the return of the spring birds.

The exhibits runs from May 6-31 with opening receptions on Fri. May 9 from 7-9 p.m. All are welcome and admission is free. Refreshments will be served.

The LAC is located at 72 Talbot St. W.

Provincial rules change

Community Living Volunteers Recognized Community Living Essex County volunteers were recognized with Volunteer Service Awards on Apr. 11 at the Caboto Club in Windsor. The Minister of Children and Youth Services Teresa Piruzza was on hand to congratulate the volunteers for their continuous years of service. The program is through the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. Deborah Rollier of Leamington was recognized for 10 years of service, and Mary Young of Kingsville, a member of the Ruthven Apple Festival Steering Committee, with 5 years of service. Other Community Living Essex County recipients were board members Carol Brennan of Harrow (5 years), Diane Bourbeau of Tecumseh (15 years), and Cathy Stevens of Belle River (10 years).

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent At the Monday, April 28th Municipal Council meeting, Manager of Planning Services Danielle Truax informed the members of Leamington Council that there have been changes to the Provincial Policy Statement relating to the Planning Act that will take effect April 30th. This policy statement identifies matters that are “of Provincial concern” and how they are to be handled at the local level. It takes precedence over local regulations.

There were two reasons why Council needed to be aware of the changes. First, all land use planning applications must comply with — the technical term is “shall be consistent with” — the Provincial Policy Statement when the decision is made (and not when the application was received). Mrs. Truax assured Council that it does not appear that “any pending applications by Council will be negatively impacted by the revisions [to the Provincial Policy Statement]”. Second, the Leamington Official Plan must contain policies that implement the directives contained in this Provincial document, and the Manager of Planning Services wanted to inform Council that the regular 5-year review of the Official Plan will be undertaken in 2014. During this review any needed changes will be made.

Some specifics were included in the report to illustrate impacts of the Provincial changes. For example, with regard to housing development, the Official Plan will be modified to identify locations where intensification of housing stock can be supported, and policies for monitoring the establishment of new, affordable residential units will be added.

In response to the wording of the revised Provincial Policy Statement, “a focus of the Leamington OPP review will be to identify and promote the economic opportunities that support the unique agricultural industry within Leamington.”

Her resting place we visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave her there.

May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper in her ear, How much we love and miss her, And wish she could be here.

Spring wild turkey season open Conservation officers encourage safe hunting

The 2014 spring wild turkey season in most of Ontario opened on April 25th and is a result of the reintroduction of wild turkeys to Ontario in the late 1980s.

The subsequent growth of turkey populations allowed for a limited hunt that has expanded over the years as the number of birds continues to grow.

The spring wild turkey hunt has become very popular over the years, so does the potential for abuse of both the resource and the private land upon which most hunting takes place. A combination of mandatory turkey hunter education program, responsible hunters, and active enforcement efforts by Conservation Officers (CO’s) has resulted in many seasons of safe hunts.

Hunters are reminded that permission is required to hunt on private land, where most turkey hunting occurs. It is illegal in most of southern Ontario to hunt on or from public road right of ways between tracts of private land. In addition, it is illegal to hunt turkeys within 400 metres of where bait has been deposited.

In 2013 in Ontario, 8,272 wild turkeys were harvested in the spring and 240 in the fall season. Jakes composed 35% of males in the spring wild turkey harvest.

Female wild turkeys made up 57% of the fall harvest.

Hey buddy, can you spare $80 million?

For whatever reason, there is quite a bit of debate amongst NHL fans — both purist and those who DON’T hate Gary Bettman — about the new playoff seeding format. Some will say wild card spots are an NFL thing. Others don’t care.

The obsessive compulsive amidst our ranks are being driven insane by the asymmetrical conferences, arguing that it’s easier to make the playoffs in the west because of its 14 BRYAN teams compared to the east, JESSOP where 16 teams vie for the same number of post-season positions (eight).

Jessop’s What’s trying my patience Journal is the schedule. It seems to get more ridiculous every year. Case in point, the Montreal Canadiens had to wait four days before they even found out who’d they be playing in the conference semis, never mind actually starting that series. That wouldn’t be such a big deal if the Detroit/Boston series went seven games... but it didn’t. It was wrapped up in five, one more game than the Habs took to send Stamkos and crew to the fairways. It’s unreasonable for the NHL playoffs to take two months — the Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior ‘B’ League’s entire regular season barely runs longer. Eleven days into the playoffs and only four of eight conference quarterfinal series have been wrapped up — and NONE of those eight had been forced into a seventh game by that time (April 27).

Yeah, I know. It’s about network television coverage and contracts. The fewer games there are every night, the more games a fan with every cable sports channel at his/her disposal can watch — it’s practically license for the big shots to print money. Through the regular season, it’s commonplace for one team to play two games in as many nights.

As much as the NHL playoff schedule tests my patience, it takes a back seat to the audacity of certain professional sports franchise owners. Try wrapping your head around this: Many of us who’ve visited or lived in large cities have seen homeless people panhandling in the streets or parking lots, asking for spare change — trying to coax a quarter here, a loonie there. The lesser tolerant of their plights will often holler “Get a job, you lousy bum!” or something to that effect. In many urban centres, states and provinces, panhan-

dling is illegal. You might recall how Ontario’s “Squeegee Kid Law” made it difficult for the province’s firefighters to organize boot drives in support of burn victims. With that in mind, try to imagine a billionaire in Florida asking Broward County officials for $80 million in public funds. Obviously, he’s not starving and isn’t trying to scrape up enough cash to find a warm place to spend the night.

No, he’s trying to recoup some of the money his National Hockey League team — the Florida Panthers — have lost through typical operating expenses. You see, the poor, down-on-his-luck fellow really, really needs to build/open a new casino while at the same time boosting his hockey team’s payroll from the floor (the league’s allowable minimum) to the ceiling (salary cap). If you haven’t soaked this page with the steady flow of your own tears yet, consider the fact that he’s put his ramshackle $35 million New York home up for sale, trying to keep his head above water with a paltry $114 million asking price.

By now, I’m sure you’re sobbing uncontrollably for poor ol’ Vinnie Viola. And you thought Les Miserables was a tear-jerker.

I’m sure by this point you understand why Mr. Viola feels it necessary to gouge all of Sunrise, Florida’s seedy hotel toilet washers who make $8 an hour for every tax nickel they’ve got. You see, the $250 million he found under the couch cushions of his $35 million rat’s nest to purchase the Panthers didn’t turn out to be the investment he thought it would be. It seems all the snowbirds tired of watching their Leafs lose game after game don’t actually fly all the way to Florida for a month to watch the Panthers do the same.

I remember hearing about the Panthers closing off entire sections of seating to cover them with massive ads in an effort to mask the fact that nobody was showing up to watch their games. I laughed, figuring nobody would be dumb enough to be fooled by such half-hearted optic trickery. Then again, I had never even heard of Vinnie Viola at the time. He also seemed to overlook the fact that a Panthers pre-season game hauled in less than 400 fans prior to his purchase of the club. The organization’s handful of defenders pointed out that it was a matinee game, apparently oblivious to the fact that the Habs or Leafs could fill the seats for an exhibition game scheduled for 3 a.m. on Christmas morning.

Viola’s plea for $80 million was shot down, so he’s re-

turned to the table with a new proposal — this time, he’s asking for $80 million. Don’t bother reading that sentence over again. It sounds ridiculous, but that’s what’s happening. I guess the wording is different this time. Instead of asking “Can I have $80 million of taxpayers’ money?” he’s returned with “$80 million of taxpayers’ money can I have?”

Yoda would be proud.

What’s frustrating is that he will probably end up getting a large portion of what he wants. It’s simple, really. All you have to do is buy/own a professional sports team hosted by a city that owns the arena or stadium. Once you’ve done that, you just tell city council “you guys don’t want to be left owning a multi-million dollar sports complex with no major tenant, do you?” At that point, your will is their command. Take a gander at the situation in Glendale, Arizona.

The city hardly had the funds to fill the gas tanks of its fire trucks, but when a new Phoenix Coyotes ownership group demanded $15 per year as an “arena management fee,” they caved out of fear that the barn would be empty for an extra 41 nights per year.

What commitment has Ice Arizona offered in return? Not much. The purchase agreement includes a clause that states if the owners lose $50 million within five years, they can jump ship and relocate, leaving the city holding the bag.

Weeks later, the ownership group launched a marketing campaign to the public dubbed “Here to Stay.”

To compound the abhorrent practice of robbing from the poor to give to the pro sports team owner is the fact that teams like the Panthers and Coyotes already receive handouts from financially successful teams, an economic strategy the NHL calls “revenue sharing.” Sadly, corporate welfare in pro sports exists on multiple levels. As much as I enjoy pro sports, I’d be the first to say “let ‘em fold” if I lived in a city where billionaires asked me for handouts to keep their team running. Any city that can’t put infrastructure, emergency services, job development, education and health care before a professional sports team on its list of priorities is a city than needs a complete overhaul in council chambers.

On a more refreshing note, TD Garden in Boston will be treated to a $70 million upgrade following the Bruins playoff run (which hopefully ends at the hands of the Canadiens), using nothing but private funding. Maybe there’s something to be said for hockey in cities where it actually snows from time to time.

Harrow to host Ontario duathlon championship Local athletes with a competitive flair for running and cycling won’t have far to go to take part in this year’s Provincial Sprint Duathlon Championship.

Triathlon Ontario has awarded Harrow District High School’s “Iron Hawk” event as this year’s province-wide meet, to take place Saturday, May 10.

The competition is open to experienced and first-time duathletes alike, based on a five-kilometre run, a 20 km bicycle route followed by a 2.5 km run.

Participants will be divided into male and female categories of various age groups. Those unsure about tackling the full-length course can instead take part in the “Do-A-Du,” featuring a 2.5 km run, a 10 km bike course and another 2.5 km run in either regular or relay (team) format. There is also a running-only event, the

Kopinak looks to form midget girls team

By Bryan Jessop

Sarah Schincariol of the bantam rep girls Stars battles Kent Fillies for control of the puck early in the third period of a Friday, Jan. 24 game at Unico Arena. The Kent team opened the score late in the second period en route to a 3-0 win. Six of the 201314 Stars bantam girls will be of age to play midget hockey next season, a team that will be coached by John Kopinak if enough players can be found to register.

Players considering midget girls travel hockey for the 2014-15 season who at the same time want to play within the Southpoint Minor Hockey system may be in luck.

John Kopinak is spreading the word about his plans to ice a Southpoint midget travel girls team for next season, an age division that hasn’t joined the Stars’ ranks in roughly a decade. To successfully form the team, a minimum of 11 players must register — six forwards, four defensemen and one goalie. Kopinak, who will serve as head coach if enough players can be recruited, describes a roster of nine forwards, six defensemen and two goalies as ideal.

For 2014-15, females born in the years 1997, ’98 or ’99 are of the designated ages to play midget girls hockey. Currently, Ontario Women’s Hockey Association players advancing beyond the bantam age who still wish to represent the Southpoint system must sign up with an intermediate local league squad — leaving local 15-year-olds with no choice but to face off against 18- to 21-year-olds.

Our office has moved to Leamington at 194 Talbot St. E., Unit 5 (formerly Krazy Kelly’s))

About three months ago, Kopinak approached SMHA president and director of girls hockey Greg Dries with the idea of forming a midget girls team. Dries and the rest of the SMHA board of directors were enthusiastic about the idea and are hopeful to see Kopinak’s plan become reality.

This past season, three would-be Southpoint girls joined the midget Lakeshore Lightning en route to their OWHA ‘B’ championship. At the same time, Kopinak’s two older daughters played for the midget Kent Fillies, based out of Blenheim. The younger of the two will again be eligible to play midget girls hockey again next season.

If the midget Stars join their bantam counterparts next season, Kopinak will serve as head coach with Tilbury’s Mike King — also with a midget-age daughter — stepping in as assistant coach. Cathy Gradwell, who also has a daughter playing midget girls hockey, would be the team’s trainer.

Tryouts for the team will be held at Unico Arena on three dates — Tuesday, May 27 from 9 p.m. to 9:50 p.m., Saturday, May 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. and Tuesday, June 3 from 9 p.m. to 9:50 p.m. The cost to participate is $10 per tryout. Players from beyond the SMHA catchment area are allowed to join the team, but first require a permission to skate form.

Kopinak has heard mixed reviews on the issue of tryouts and cuts for girls travel hockey. To spare players the experience of being cut in front of friends and would-be teammates — if more players than required try out — he will have the team’s final roster posted on the SMHA website.

“We’d just like to give players of these ages a place to play without having to make that big jump (to intermediate) in age groups,” Kopinak said. “We’ll keep it fun while we’re trying to win.”

The midget Stars would join the Western Ontario Girls Hockey League, made up of teams hailing from St. Thomas, Mt. Forest, Petrolia, Lucan, Mt. Brydges, Mooretown (St. Clair), Kent (Blenheim), Lambeth and North Middlesex.

After Christmas, the season schedule is adjusted to allow teams with similar records to play each other more often than teams who are significantly higher or lower in the standings.

Kopinak’s coaching experience includes four years as assistant coach with the Junior ‘C’ Wheatley Sharks, two years as general manager of the Blenheim Blades and two years as assistant coach with the Wallaceburg Lakers.

South Buxton waves green flag this weekend

A new era dawns on South Buxton Raceway when the green flag waves this Saturday (May 3) night.

Sherry and Gary Lemesurier have taken over as the new promoters of South Buxton Raceway. The Lemesuriers took on expanded roles in track operations under previous management midway through the 2013 season and officially took over as the

promoters on Nov. 1.

“We’ve seen racing from both sides of the fence. Gary and I decided it was time to step up and help put South Buxton back on the map,” Sherry said, as she joked that she and her husband have 85 years experience in racing between them.

Gary was involved in racing long before South Buxton opened in 1971 as Raleigh Raceway. He has been the car

owner of many championship winning drivers over the track’s 42 years.

Sherry said she got hooked on racing at five years of age and has done every job at the race track, from changing tires in the pits, flipping burgers in the kitchen, scoring in the tower and running the old Great Lakes Late Models series.

Sherry’s son Chris Ross is a two-time Late Model track

champion at South Buxton and has been racing on the Ohio circuit in recent years.

He has been busy throughout the off-season making improvements at the track, including installing a new safety wall along the front stretch, plus cleaning and painting the facility.

“The fans will see the clean and fresh look, this place really needed it,” Sherry said.

And the Lemesuriers are trying to rebuild South Buxton’s reputation off the track.

“The feedback and support from everybody has been positive,” Sherry said, as a lot of old and new sponsors are coming back on board, building on the enthusiasm of a new beginning. “We appreciate what everyone is doing to help us – we’re all looking forward to a great season.”

There will be five classes of racing every Saturday night from May 3 through championship nights on September 13 and 20, with the season coming to an exciting climax with the two-night Canadian Fall Shootout on Sept. 26-27.

This year’s line-up of divisions features the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modifieds, Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Models, Tirecraft Sport Stocks, Tirecraft Mini-Mods and the Autotech Sales & Service Bombers.

The 2014 schedule is full of special events for the fans and drivers.

The excitement starts early when South Buxton Raceway honours its past greats with the first inductions to the Alumni Hall of Fame on May 10. The inaugural Hall of Fame class is a ‘Who’s Who’ in Raleigh Raceway-South Buxton Raceway history – Joe Atkinson Larry Atkinson, Fred Chambers, Gord DeWael, Brent Gibbons, Gord Gotelaer, Don Hendricks, Al McCully, Jim Morlog and John Reynolds.

The Southern Ontario Sprints will make two appearances at South Buxton Raceway (July 5 and August 2).

The Can-Am Topless Sprints will also be here twice (June 14 and Aug. 23).

The mid-season championship night is July 12 with the season championship nights Sept. 13 and 20.

South Buxton will also show appreciation to the fans with two half-price admission nights (May 17 and Aug. 9).

There will be two autograph nights (May 24 and Aug. 2).

South Buxton will host memorial races on four nights

this season – Gord Gotelaer Late Model June 7; Don Hendricks Late Model June 28; Memorial Night (Gord DeWael, Cory Schives, Len Bryden and Brian Outhouse) July 26; and Rick Haskell Late Models Aug. 30.

South Buxton will not be hosting a SWOTPA Tractor Pull this season.

George Youssef, owner of Blondie’s Restaurant and Variety, shoots a series of 25 free throws at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Monday, April 28 in support of Autism Canada. Last year, Youssef raised $1,200 with donations from his customers through a free throw event at the same location. This year, along with help from Miranda Obeid and Sam Abraham, the total was $1,875, donated to Autism Canada’s Windsor-Essex chapter.

Obeid and Abraham wanted to join this year’s event and were told they could do so if they raised $250 each — together, they raised $600. During the 25-shot portion of the competition, Youssef sunk 19 while Abraham made 15 successful shots and Obeid bucketed 17.

Free throws for Autism From left to right, Sam Abraham, George Youssef and Miranda Obeid present a cheque from ‘The Blondie’s Crew’ to Autism Canada for $1,700. The amount of the donation was actually $1,875, as a few last-minute contributions were made.

The funds have been given to the Windsor-Essex chapter of Austism Canada as a means of wrapping up April as Autism Month. Youssef, the owner of Blondie’s Restaurant and Variety, conducted a free-throw challenge at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex last year, where he raised $1,200 mostly through customer donations. This year, Obeid and Abraham wanted to join in on the event — again hosted by the LKRC — and were told they could participate if they raised $250 each. Together, they raised $600 while the remaining $1,275 came from Youssef’s customers.

The swimmers are coming in for the finish.

Leamington hosts S.E.A.L. swim championships The S.E.A.L. championship swim meet was held at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Apr. 26-27. This event typically sees between 250-350 swimmers in attendance.

S.E.A.L. (St. Clair Erie Aquatic League) is a competitive developmental league with many swimmers proceeding to higher level events province-wide. Eight teams in the league include Leamington Lasers Swim Team, Windsor Aquatic Club, Windsor Essex Swim Team, Chatham YMCA Pool Sharks, Sarnia YMCA Rapids, Killer Whale Swim Team (London), Blenheim Blast Swim Team, Alymer Optimistic Arrows Swim Team, and Wallaceburg

People enjoy coming to the Sherk Pool as it is one of the only pools with a great viewing stand.

The officials hard at work overlooking the pool.

Marlins Swim Team.

The S.E.A.L. season consists of 7 short course (SC) meets held in 25m pools hosted by the respective teams in the league. The S.E.A.L. championship swim meet was the final

meet of the SC season for most of the teams. Most teams in this league will be switching to long course (LC) (50m) meets starting in May.

The officials have to look ever so closely to ‘stop the watch’ at just the precise time for each swimmer.

Tilbury-owned 1940 Dodge still just like new!

SODUKU ANSWERS

Mark Tourangeau was born in 1957 in Chatham and grew up in nearby Tilbury. Today he drives a car that anyone would be proud to own: a 1940 Dodge 4-door sedan that looks just as good as the day it rolled off the assembly line 74 years ago.

Mark purchased the car in 2007 from the previous owner in Tilbury. It was a local car and is an American model, built in Detroit (Canadian-built Dodges at that time were basically Plymouths with Dodge trim). It was in very good condition with only 62,000 miles on the odometer. The rear doors are “suicide doors” (hinged at the rear) and rear seat passengers are supplied with assist straps in getting out, along with a rope cord across the back of the front seat.

It came with a fancy grille guard, and Mark later added turn signals for safety reasons.

The car has a “Safety Speedometer” that changes colour from green to amber to red the faster you drive, and this feature was installed right at the factory. Mark has redone the brakes and had some brightwork re-chromed. The car has external running boards, which disappeared soon after when car bodies became wider. It has a two-piece side-opening hood and is powered by a flathead inline six with 218 cubic inches cranking out 87 horsepower, still enough to get a speeding ticket. The transmission is a three-speed column-shift (“three on the tree” we used to say). The sealed beam headlights were new for 1940 and adopted industry-wide. The wide whitewalls are radials supplied by Coker, a U.S. tire company.

As a forerunner to air conditioning, the car has a cowl vent which can be opened by pushing down on a lever below the dashboard. Vent windows also help to cool off the car on warm days. When Mark parks the car at a car show, he tries to find a spot under some trees. He puts about 2500 miles on the car each year and regularly displays it at Heritage Village on the Arner Town Line. For added enjoyment while driving, Mark has added an after-market radio. The car also has a heater but it is seldom used on a car like this, which is only driven in nice weather.

By sending his serial number to the Chrysler Corporation, Mark was told his car was shipped from the factory on March 26, 1940. As a point of interest, Walter P. Chrysler died in August 1940. He was still alive when his company built Mark’s Dodge.

Silent walk and vigil May 4 On Sunday, May 4, Leamington Area Right to Life is sponsoring a peaceful Walk to Leamington District Memorial Hospital to express concern for children being killed by abortion and for their mothers who may not have received the love, care, and support needed to carry these children to term. Everyone is welcome to attend. This event takes place rain or shine.

This public awareness event marks the beginning of Respect for Life Week.

Participants will meet at the parking lot across from Leamington District Secondary School at 3:15 p.m. The Walk to the hospital begins at 3:30 p.m. where a brief Silent Vigil will be observed during which a wreath will be laid in memory of unborn babies who died because of abortion.

Over-pruning will only result in no flowers for the upcoming season.

For healthy growth and more blooms, mix compost in the soil. Be careful not to damage surface roots.

When relocating this plant, always dig a hole twice as big as the root ball during the dormant season. Replant in Call Michael for loosened soil, allowing the roots to grow and spread easily. your home, auto and farm Hydrangeas make excellent dried flowers.

When purchasing hydrangeas this spring at the garden centre look for varieties such as Oakleaf, which will do well in full sun or shade and extremely hot areas. Annabel is excellent for drying and spray-painting for indoor decorating. Peegee or Grandiflora are good for ` hot sunny areas as long as you can supply lots of water.

For less maintenance, partially shaded areas with welldrained, rich humus soil will produce a long-lasting cluster PR E S ENTS of flowers. www.bptreemarketing.com

Court of revision not contested

A court of revision is held as an opportunity for landowners to demand a change in their assessment for a municipal drain’s maintenance schedule. If they feel they are being overcharged, this is their first course of appeal.

Appeals are, however, uncommon, since they must be based on an error in fact and that is rare.

At the Monday night, Apr. 28 Council meeting, the court of revision for the new petition drain for Erie View Road and the upper portion of the Pettapiece Drain was opened and closed without comments or complaints.
