A ribbon cutting ceremony is conducted by Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls, former Pelee Island mayor Rick Masse, Minister of Transportation Jeff Yurek, Ministry of Transportation regional contracts officer of the London office Kevin Boudreau and Captain Emma Nolan Friday, April 5 following a tour of the new Pelee Islander II. The new vessel made its first departure from Leamington’s Pelee Island Ferry Service dock that evening at 6 p.m., but was first introduced to active service the following day.

After a wait of several months, it’s “all aboard” for the newest vessel carrying residents and guests to and from Leamington/Kingsville and Pelee Island.

The Pelee Islander II made its first official voyage for the Owen Sound Transportation Company Saturday, April 6, launching from Leamington’s Pelee Island Ferry Service docks with crew, vehicles and passengers for the first time. On Friday, April 5, guests were offered a tour of the new vessel, including Ontario Minister of Transportation Jeff Yurek and Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls.

“We’re here today to celebrate a huge milestone in public transportation,” said Nicholls. “Ferries play a big role in the economy and every day life and I also might add, tourism as well.”

“The brand new ferry will benefit the local economy by bringing more tourists to and from Pelee Island and making it easier for businesses to move their goods back and fourth,” Yurek added, noting that close to 50,000 people travel to Pelee Island each year. “This important service (Continued on Page 4)

Students across Ontario are voicing displeasure over the Ford government’s proposed education cuts and those at Leamington District Secondary School are no exception.

At precisely 1:15 p.m.

Thursday, April 4, an estimated 500 students from Grades 9 to 12 at LDSS walked out of their classrooms and joined other schools both within and beyond the Greater Essex County District School Board to protest plans by the provincial government to cut spending on education.

At the Leamington high school, the protest was planned over the two prior weeks by a team of seven Grade 12 students led by Layla Bakaa. The school’s student trustee for the Greater Essex County District School Board and LDSS deputy prime minster of Student Council, Bakaa was one of several students

who voiced displeasure over reduced educating funding from Queen’s Park.

“There’s so much going on that we’re protesting against,” she said. “It’ll be really tough on lower income families — it’ll impact everybody.”

Prior to the Thursday walkout, students on Bakaa’s team — Justin Singkhaew, Jill Chausse, Eddy Neufeld, Ava Gossen, Madison Baptista and Lauren Keller — promoted the protest online and through posters. An Instagram account created for the event drew 300 registered followers, offering evidence that the participation total would exceed the group’s hopes of seeing 200 protesters at LDSS. “I’m pleasantly surprised with the turnout,” said Bakaa, noting that most students who expressed interest in the protest through social media followed through with the interest they expressed. “This is something that everybody’s very pas-

Members of the Leamington District Secondary School Eco Team gather for photos after serving up hundreds of meals at the “Lettuce Eat Plants Lunch” held in the school’s atrium Tuesday, April 2. Participating students brought their own bowls and plates for the lunch served in the school’s atrium to help reduce waste.

LDSS hosts school-wide veggie lunch

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Leamington District Secondary School has established itself as a ‘green’ school in more ways than one.

On Tuesday, April 2, the school promoted healthy eating and environmental conservation simultaneously with the “Lettuce Eat Plants” lunch. The event was organized and hosted by the LDSS Eco Team, offering free vegetarian lunches to the entire student body of 900 as well as school staff. As part of the gathering in the atrium, students who lined up for and enjoyed the special lunch were asked to bring their own bowls and plates to help reduce waste.

“I was blown away by the response,” explained LDSS student and Eco Team member Abbey Resendes. “We really wanted to make the event waste free and everybody brought their own plates and bowls. It shows how environmentally conscious kids my age really are.”

Resendes, who was chosen last year for the Students As Researchers program, applied for a $2,500 Ontario Ministry of Education’s Minister’s Student Advisory Council SpeakUp grant to fund the lunch. The successful application was complimented by an extra $400 to purchase a knife set for the LDSS hospitality program.

The vegetarian lunch was prepared over a three-day time frame by the LDSS hospitality classes — about 120 students in total — as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) students. Led by hospitality teachers Joe Youssef and Janine Deneau, the menu for last week’s lunch was created with three 100 oz. cans of hummus, 30 pounds of grapes, 40 pounds of bananas, 200 portions of vegetarian chili, 100 zucchini cubes, 250 portions of veggie wraps, two cases of apples and a case of pears as well as a large supply of tomatoes, lettuce, mushrooms and other ingredients.

The lunch, which was also attended by the Eco Team of M.D. Bennie Public School, was organized in part by Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) students.

That particular group included Lency Veloria, who recently finished third in a Skills Competition in the culinary category hosted by St. Clair College in Windsor. In doing so, she has qualified for the next level of the event in London.

Although the Eco Team acknowledged that the event required a great deal of preparation from the hospitality and ESL students, members of the group noted that they’d like to offer something similar in the future.

The occasion, capped by a ribbon cutting ceremony, was also attended by Leamington deputy mayor Larry Verbeke, Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos, Pelee Island mayor Raymond Durocher and deputy mayor David Dawson and other members of council from the three communities benefiting directly from the introduction of the new ferry.

Lakeshore mayor Tom Bain also attended. Speakers prior to the ribbon cutting included Nicholls, Yurek and former Pelee Island mayor Rick Masse, the latter who described the process of securing a new vessel of transportion between the island and mainland as one that was 12 years in the making.

“It was pretty hard to envision today 12 years ago,” he said. “Today’s pretty exciting for me to see this come to fruition. It’s one of the major issues that I worked on as the mayor.”

The Pelee Islander II drew criticism for repairs and changes it required upon arriving in Canada from its builders in Chile. The vessel made its first mainland Essex County appearance in Kingsville in mid June last year and was temporarily kept out of service following safety and service inspections. Yurek explained that all required work was covered under the PI2’s warranty, keeping the price tag at the original $40 million.

Owen Sound Transportation Company president and ECO Susan Schrempf explained that delay time stemming from the vessel’s need for repairs and changes was misleading and that the attention it required was nothing out of the ordinary.

“They had to take care of some normal things,” she explained. “There are a lot of systems to work on and the inspection process is huge. There were things found that had to be rectified, but it’s nothing new — there’s a lot of equipment on board.”

Schrempf continued to explain that the six-month inspection and modification process ended in December of last year, during the ferry service’s offseason.

“It was tied up there anyway because of weather,” she noted. “The extra three to four months was added artificially. Right now, we’re feeling ecstatic.

We’re so excited about this ship. It’s the ship we’ve always wanted.”

The Pelee Islander II measures roughly 68 metres in length and 15 metres in width, allowing it the capacity to carry a combined 399 passengers and crew members — double the Pelee Islander’s maximum. The new vessel can also carry 34 cars or 16 cars plus four tractor trailers, compared to the 10-car limit of the original Pelee Islander, which was built in 1960.

The original Pelee Islander will continue to make journeys between Leamington/Kingsville and Sandusky, Ohio while the Jiimaan will remain docked in Kingsville in case of any need for standby service.

Cocaine trafficking charges laid ESSEX COUNTY – On April 2 at approximately 2:30 p.m., a member of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Traffic Management Unit (TMU) stopped a vehicle for speeding on Highway 3 in LaSalle.

The officer observed a quantity of cannabis readily available to the driver. The driver was arrested and a subsequent search of the vehicle revealed approximately 50 grams of suspected cocaine and more than $2,000 in currency.

A 34-year-old Leamington man was charged with Possession of a Schedule 1 Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking, contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA).

The estimated street value of the seizure was approximately $5,000.

Mayor MacDonald’s Coffee Chat

By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – The first Coffee Chat with Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald held on Saturday, April 6 at the municipal office, attracted 58 residents who came to talk one-on-one with their mayor.

“I’m really happy with the response. There wasn’t one issue that stood out, but there were a few varying issues,” said MacDonald. Among the topics were the recent Mill Street project, complaints about marijuana smell, policing and others.

“It wasn’t all negatives; it was a very wide range of concerns and some good ideas,” said MacDonald.

At 9:45 a.m. there was a lineup of the first 20 residents who wanted to be the first to talk with Mayor MacDonald when the doors opened at 10 a.m.

“They came; we talked; it worked out quite well,” said MacDonald.

Some did not have time to wait to talk with MacDonald and they were given the mayor’s number to set up a one-on-one meeting for a later time.

“It shows that people want to be engaged… I’m always available and approachable. I have one to three people a week who come in to talk or call me directly. It’s just a matter of being accessible,” said MacDonald.

Because it’s not always easy to come to Council and speak, Mayor MacDonald stated this was a good way for people to access their municipal representatives. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke and several councillors were also present for residents to discuss local issues.

The Coffee Chats will be held approximately every six weeks or about eight times a year.

MacDonald says she will change up the locations and reach further into the community.

SECC introduces scholarship fund LEAMINGTON – South Essex Community Council (SECC) has been providing community services in Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley since 1973.

Every day, the organization and its staff and volunteers strive to achieve its mission: “Helping people. Improving lives.”

Although SECC has been doing community work for many years, it cannot accomplish its mission without the help of businesses, volunteers and various community partners. SECC also believes that it must play an integral part in grooming and supporting the next generation of community change makers.

“We must encourage and

groom the next generation to consider work in the community and social services sector, in order to ensure that our communities are vibrant, strong and thriving for generations to come,” said Carolyn Warkentin, SECC Executive Director.

The goal of the SECC Community Change Maker Scholarship is to provide financial support through four $500 scholarships to young people who are planning to use their post-secondary

educations to make societal change in the wider community, in the province or in the world.

One $500 scholarship will be made available to each of the local high schools in SECC’s service area: Kingsville District High School, Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary School and UMEI Christian High School.

Students can access more information, including the

application on-line, through SECC’s website (www. secc.on.ca/) or through their respective schools, each of which have received information packets and applications.

SECC provides three core services: employment and training, language and settlement, and community home support services. The organization also provides a variety of income and security programs such as Coats for Kids and Keep the Heat.

Memories of...

Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time

Pelee connections run deep in this area We took a trip down to Point Pelee last week and saw where they had done a prescribed burn, which encompassed the neighbouring lots to our old homestead, but didn’t quite reach our old property.

As winter turns to spring, the trees start to bud and the grass starts to grow and turn green, just like it does anywhere else in the world.

I’ve often wanted to walk through my old haunts just to bring back some fond memories, but I have respected the rules of Parks Canada and stayed out.

I got to talking to Dave Foster about the old Pelee days last week when I was in his store.

His wife Wendy is a descendent of one of Point Pelee’s early settlers, the Livingston family.

The Livingstons, along with the Girardins, DeLauriers and Grubbs, make up the who’s-who of Point Pelee’s history.

Our family descends from the Girardins. My Mark Ribble great-grandmother, Victoria Girardin, was from Point Pelee. She married Scott Ribble and I believe they lived at the Point for a period of time before settling on the fourth concession between Leamington and Wheatley, where my grandparents eventually set up their family home.

In the 1960s, traffic in the park was non-stop. We lost the odd family pet on that road, and certainly saw our share of car accidents down there.

Due to all the traffic, littering was definitely a problem. My family did its part by going on a pop bottle hunt once a week, searching both sides of the road, picking up bottles that could be returned for a penny apiece.

Certain times of year, we took knives with us, and cut wild asparagus and morel mushrooms along the way. I can still taste those morels, freshly cut and fried in butter. The only drawback to the fresh morels was the amount of sand that was in them. You really had to rinse them good.

Speaking of tastes of Pelee, we acquired certain tastes for things that the city slickers didn’t.

For instance, full sacs of perch eggs were gently washed and then rolled in pancake flour, salt and pepper. My mom then fried them in lard. Yes, lard. Back then, vegetable oil was not as common as good old lard.

These eggs sacs were about the size and shape of your thumb and you popped them in your mouth and enjoyed the sweet taste of them. I usually dipped mine in ketchup.

Many years later, I walked into my dad’s kitchen on Mill Street and saw he was frying some perch eggs up, so on my way through, I popped one in my mouth. As the egg sac exploded with the first bite, I started to gag and from that day forward, I just can’t eat them.

The same goes for smelt, a fish that I grew up catching, cleaning and eating on a regular basis in the spring.

The smelt run at Point Pelee was huge back then, as it was anywhere along Leamington’s beaches.

With my dad being a commercial fisherman, he kept the retail store open late during smelt season, and helped people supplement their catches with some freshly cleaned smelt.

I remember the old green-and-white wooden sign out front that said R&G Fishery, and how he pulled out a floodlight to illuminate the sign at night during smelt season.

I loved smelt as a kid. They were so crunchy and tasty, fins, scales and all.

Funny how things change.

NCA Spring Bling Gala raises $90,000 KINGSVILLE – The Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance (NCA) welcomed Spring with its annual fundraiser, Spring Bling 2019, at Kingsville’s Lakeside Pavilion Saturday night, April 6. Once again, it was a soldout affair with a crowd of 300 guests raising $90,000, with over $15,000 of that being raised via live auctions. Jim Slater was the winner of the top raffle prize ($5,000 cash or a trip to Tuscany), but the big winners were the local community members who will benefit from the proceeds. The NCA is an organization that prides itself on raising money locally and aiding those in the local communities who need financial assistance during a difficult time. Members of this year’s gala committee were, left to right, Shawn Chapman, Gloria Cavenago, Kim Lewis Jr. and Linda Jeffery. Absent from photo: David Halliwill.

Todd pose for photos following dinner at a reception held at the Leamington Portuguese Club Saturday, March 30. About 90 Masonic Lodge members and guests from Windsor to Ottawa gathered for the event, where a donation of $2,000 was presented to Todd for Autism Spectrum Disorder Research.

Local Grand Masons welcome special guest

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The Masons of Essex County have put both their hospitality and generosity to work with a visit from their organization’s provincial leader.

The Leamington Portuguese Club served as the backdrop for a reception welcoming Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario Grand Master Paul Todd Saturday, March 30. Todd, a resident of Carlton Place near Ottawa, was one of about 90 guests during the reception, attended by Grand Lodge members from Windsor to the national capital.

During his stay, he was presented with a donation of $2,000 from contributions made by members of the 14 branches within the Essex County district for the charitable cause of his choice. For the local offering, Todd selected Autism Spectrum Disorder Research as the beneficiary.

“We always enjoy this community,” he said of his visit to Leamington from 700 km away. “I appreciate “I appreciate the the beauty of the land and the water. I’m glad to be here.” beauty of the land Over a two-year term, Ontario Grand Masters tour and the water. I’m throughout the province’s 41 districts by invitation. glad to be here.”

Four years ago, the Grand Master attended a recep— Grand Lodge tion at The Roma Club. Two years ago, Windsor was host to the lead member’s Essex County arrival.

Grand Master The Essex County district of the Grand Lodge is Paul Todd home to 14 branches including locations in Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley. Derek Friesen is serving the current term as Master of Leamington Lodge #290 while Ryan Gray is Master in Kingsville (St. George’s Lodge, #41) and George Brown in Wheatley (Xenophon Lodge, #448).

Friesen has been with the Grand Lodge for eight years, since turning 21 — the minimum allowable age for membership. In joining, he followed the footsteps of his grandfather — a former Leamington councilor — and other members of his family dating further back.

“It’s been a family tradition — a wonderful one,” Friesen explained. “Our motto is ‘We take good men and make them better’. It’s about bettering ourselves. Charity is our greatest virtue.”

The Essex County district includes about 900 members, including 85 in Leamington.

The local lodge is located at 3 John Street, between the Essex County Public Library and Leamington United Church. The site is used as a meeting site for both the Leamington and Wheatley lodges. Across Ontario, the Grand Lodge is home to approximately 33,000 members.

Friesen explained that the reception welcoming the Grand Master was an effort that had been in the works for the past several months.

He noted that in two years time, he’d like to host the same event.

“I’m really happy to see Direct billing for most insurance companies. everyone gathered here. It’s always a great occasion to Ground Floor Office 121 Talbot St. E. Leamington have the Grand Master come No Steps! to town,” Friesen stated.

WSO to present Farewell Symphony LEAMINGTON – Windsor Symphony Orchestra will be offering Franz Josef Haydn’s amusing “Farewell Symphony” in Leamington on Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m.

Haydn was the composer and Kapellmeister for the wealthy Esterházy family living near Vienna. This was one of the great musical jobs in Europe and his primary responsibility was to compose music for Prince Nicholas Esterházy for a variety of events or even just for the prince’s pleasure. Haydn had an orchestra and opera company at his disposal just for these purposes.

The symphony has four movements. In 1772, as the final movement progressed, a few musicians stopped playing, blew out the candles on their music stands, took their music, and left the stage. Then more stopped and exited the room. This continued until only two violinists were left, and when they stopped, they too blew out their candles and left.

Whereas most symphonies end with lots of energy and sound, Haydn had written this work so that it gradually tapered out into thin air.

The Farewell Symphony will be performed at Leamington United Mennonite Church on Oak St. East.

The program also includes music by Robert Carl Rival, Frederick Delius and Franz Schubert. Pre-concert talk is at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets will be available at the door or call the WSO at 519-973-1238.

WORD SCRAMBLE Rearrange the letters to spell something pertaining to the environment.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Curiosity is a useful tool, Aries. Keep a handle on it this week. Do not go delving into situations that do not involve you, or you could end up in trouble.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if a certain person’s boastfulness is causing concern, you may need to speak up or simply avoid that person for the time being. He or she may just be blowing off steam.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, save yourself a lot of frustration and accept the way things are right now. Focus on the positives in your life and count your many blessings.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 The universe has an important lesson to teach you, Cancer. It involves giving up a little bit of control so you can benefit in unknown ways. This is challenging, but worth it.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, think twice before you commit to any projects or confirm appointments with others. You have to have all of the details worked out in advance before you can proceed.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if relationship issues are confusing you, it might be the right time to distance yourself and go it alone for a little while. This will help you get your bearings.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Reach out to your to friends this week and ask them for advice on your current situation, Libra. They know you well enough and may have some important insight.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Try a different approach if you want to see results, Capricorn. Doing the same thing over and over again hasn’t worked for you thus far as it pertains to your relationship.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take the scenic route if you are going on a trip, Aquarius.

Getting sidetracked is the goal this time around, and you can wander off to parts unknown.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Support a friend who needs a strong shoulder to lean on, Pisces. This person isn’t likely to ask for help, so reach out.

South County Kingsville peewee girls win Tier 1 title The Essex-Kent Peewee Girls Tier 1 hockey final on Sunday, March 31 saw the sister South County (SC) Predator Harrow and Kingsville teams square off for the seventh time this season.

The last few contests had been low scoring, tight checking contests, and this one proved to be no different. SC Kingsville opened the scoring midway through the first period when Raegan Woodiwiss beat the SC Harrow defence with a nice rush and then went top shelf to make it 1-0.

The beginning of the second period saw SC Harrow provide relentless pressure on the SC Kingsville net, but goalie Rebecca MacFarlane was up to the task.

RBS

Late in the second period, Morgan Woolgar weaved her way through the SC Harrow team and with a nice move on the goalie, made it 2-0.

SC Harrow then struck back, scoring on a goalmouth scramble to make it 2-1.

The third period saw some scoring chances both ways, but no scoring.

The final was 2-1 for Kingsville.

Three brothers reach playoff finals

By Bryan Jessop

From left to right, Reyth Smith, Sloan Smith and Colm Smith pose with their medals after their respective teams captured peewee minor AAA Alliance League finalist, novice major A championship and minor midget AA finalist trophies and banners, respectively. From mid January to late March, the three brothers played a combined 47 playoff games.

Hours Monday-Friday: 8am - 5pm • Saturday: 8am - 12pm

Proficient time management skills were of the utmost importance for the Smith family over the past few weeks.

With some assistance from family and friends, Tenille Smith managed to balance a minor hockey playoff schedule that eventually ended with three sons advancing to the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and Alliance Hockey playoff finals with three different teams.

Her three sons — 15-year old Colm, 11-year-old Reyth and seven-year-old Sloan — played the 2018-’19 season for three different associations.

Colm played defense with the AA Belle River Junior Canadiens minor midgets, who started this year’s playdowns with a 6-4 preliminary round win over the Kent Cobras in their first of four six-point series. From there, the quarterfinals went down to the wire between Belle River and Guelph. Tied five points to five, the round was decided in a sixth game. A 6-2 win sent the Junior Canadiens to the semifinals against Burlington Gold. Adding more chaos to the Smith family schedule, another sixth and deciding game was required, won 3-1 by Belle River on home ice at the Atlas Tube Centre. The final against Northumberland also went six games, where the hosting Nighthawks took the OMHA title with a 2-0 win on March 31.

Reyth played 2018-’19 as a winger, centre and occasional defenseman for the peewee minor Sun County Panthers of the AAA Alliance League. For the quarterfinals, the Panthers eliminated Lambton in three straight games to set up a semifinal series versus Kitchener.

Following another three-game sweep, Sun County met London in the final for an eight-point series. London won the first game 5-0, but managed two of its next three wins by one-goal margins that went into overtime and another 5-3 win. The teams also tied once, leading London to a 9-1 series win.

Sloan played as an underage forward with the Southpoint Major Novice ‘A’ Capitals, who captured the OMHA West championship with a 6-2 points series victory over the Welland Tigers. His team’s quarterfinal consisted of a double round robin schedule against its regular divisional rivals, with the top two teams — Southpoint and St. Thomas — meeting for a six-point semifinal round. The Capitals advanced after a 6-4 series victory to face Welland, whom they defeated six points to two. Sloan was one of three players on his team to acquire exceptional player status, allowing them to play in the next age division up.

In total, the Smith boys played 47 playoff games at ‘home’ ice rinks in Lakeshore, Essex, Leamington and Wheatley and on the road in Guelph, Burlington, Northumberland, Sarnia, Chatham, London, Amherstburg, Kingsville, Harrow, Essex, Windsor (Riverside), St. Thomas and Welland. Sloan’s schedule started the earliest on January 13 and ended the latest on March 31. In that time, there were six dates when all three brothers played a game and eight occasions when two of them played on the same day. Tenille pointed out that her boys’ hockey schedules are the main reason her two-year-old vehicle has already racked up 105,000 km.

For a while, it seemed like we were living in the minivan and in arenas,” she said with a laugh while noting that Colm also played high school hockey with the Cardinal Carter Cougars. “I’m really fortunate to have had help from my parents and the parents of teammates — they really are a true hockey family, always offering to pick up the boys, drop them off and take them out for meals before or after games.”

Tenille also explained that her daughter Saylor, 19, was also supportive in making arrangements for her three younger brothers. No stranger to competitive sports herself, Saylor is attending health and fitness courses at Mohawk College, where she earned a volleyball scholarship. In previous seasons with the South County Bandits, Saylor has made multiple trips to provincial volleyball tournaments, having recently been on championship, silver medal and fifth-place teams.

The Smiths are also a billet family for 2018-’19 Leamington Flyers’ forward Matthew Boring of Kings Park, NY — another key supporter of Colm’s, Reyth’s and Sloan’s on-ice endeavors.

“He’s been so great with the kids,” Tenille said of Boring. “I wish this wasn’t his last year of junior hockey.”

The break from organized hockey won’t last long for the Smiths, as travel hockey playoffs begin in mid April. In the summer, all three boys also play travel baseball. Colm will be taking on a summer job instead this year, but the younger two will continue to compete with their respective Leamington Lakers teams.

“It keeps me busy all the time, but I love it,” said Tenille, who utilizes a colour-coded “Mom Calendar” to keep track of her children’s sports schedules.

“It keeps me busy all the time, but I love it.”

1980 Plymouth Caravelle spotted at McDonalds in Leamington.

1980 Plymouth with dealer sticker On a recent visit to McDonalds in Leamington, I saw a car in the parking lot that looked older than any of the other cars there.

I stared at the faded yellow finish that looked original. Then I spotted a perfectly preserved dealer sticker on the trunk lid for Central Chrysler Plymouth, a dealer name no longer in use.

At this point, a woman came out of the restaurant and began getting into the car. I immediately recognized her and called her by her nickname: “Hi, Cookie!”

MADD presents signage campaign LEAMINGTON – A project aimed at informing police with information that could save lives is reaching Leamington.

During municipal council’s regular meeting Tuesday, March 26, a verbal presentation was made by Mothers Against Drunk Driving of Windsor and Essex County community leader Chaouki Hamka.

During his time with members of council, Hamka described a program that is branching out to other Essex County communities including LaSalle, Windsor and Tecumseh whereby roadside signs are being erected with messages encouraging motorists to inform police of suspected impaired drivers.

Council voted in favour of having administration further discuss the program with local MADD representatives, including how many signs would be set up along Leamington roads and their specific locations. Hamka explained that the nationwide program, known as Campaign 911, has saved tens of thousands of lives since it was first introduced in 2007.

“It encourages and empowers Canadians to make our roads safer,” he explained.

Through the program and as explained through two different sizes of signs, MADD encourages motorists to call 9-1-1 and report sightings of what they suspect may be impaired drivers. In vehicles with multiple occupants, a passenger is encouraged to call and when the driver is the only person in the vehicle, that individual is encouraged to

pull over to the side of the road and then call to report the suspect drunk driver.

“We need to do our part to report impaired drivers,” Hamka said. “Making a call could potentially save someone’s life — maybe your own.”

Permanent Campaign 911 road signs being erected include the logos of MADD, the Ontario Provincial Police (in Ontario locations) and the logo of the hosting/participating community. Hamka explained that he and the local branch of MADD would like to see 10 such signs set up throughout Leamington, including three of the larger 4’ by 6’ signs.

Those larger signs, Hamka, said, would be ideal for roads that serve as major entry/exit points going in and out of urban Leamington.

The remaining signs proposed for Leamington would be of the smaller 24” by 30” size. Hamka reported that he already has ideas where the smaller versions could be placed, but would first like to discuss such plans with the municipality’s Parks and Recreation and engineering departments.

Councillor Tim Wilkinson explained that while being enthusiastic about the idea — especially the smaller signs in town — he stressed the importance of carefully considering the location of the larger signs. After Wilkinson made note of already large signs creating a cluttered look in some locations, Councillor Paul Tiessen suggested placing larger Campaign 911 signs further out from urban entry points.

Quilts of Valour, Wheatley and Kingsville ABOVE: The Kingsville Royal Canadian Legion hosted a special Quilts of Valour presentation ceremony last week. Five area veterans were presented with quilts on Thursday, April 4 to thank them for their service to the country and to comfort them. Receiving their handmade quilts were, front row, left to right: Clarence Shaw, Jamie Cavasin and Lloyd Grandmaison.

In back: David Lupton and Terry Lauzon. RIGHT: Kingsville Royal Canadian Legion member Mary-Maureen Atkin (far left) and Quilts of Valour representative Sony Chenette present Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion members Grant Bowman and Gloria Sheldon with their own Quilts of Valour at Branch 324 Friday, April 5. Both Sheldon and Bowman were presented with quilts in recognition of their service with the Canadian Armed Forces. The two Wheatley Legion members served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Quilts of Valour hopes to present quilts to 20,000 Canadian military veterans by the year 2020. Presently, they have handed out approximately 12,500 across Canada.

Anyone knowing of a Canadian military veteran who has not received one of the quilts can visit the website www.quiltsofvalour.ca or contact Chenette at 519-354-8760 to arrange for the creation and donation of one of the customized quilts. Locally, the quilts are handmade by volunteers representing Tilbury Royal Canadian Legion Branch 206.

Tender selected for Coronation sewer separation project LEAMINGTON – A contractor has been selected to take on the Coronation Avenue segment of Leamington’s ongoing sewer separation project.

Based on a recommendation stated in a report from engineering project manager Gaspare Graziano, Council has accepted a bid of $1,314,721 from J&J Lepera Infrastructures Inc. from among seven other proposals.

“I’m glad to see Lepera get the job. They’ve proven themselves and have done a good job around town,” explained Councillor Tim Wilkinson.

During the council meeting, manager of engi-

neering services Allan Botham presented the report, explaining that Lepera is eager to start the Coronation sewer project as soon as possible.

The contractor has been given to July 13 as a completion date, but could potentially finish the project as early as late June. Botham noted that emphasis has been placed on finishing the Coronation sewer separation before Hogs For Hospice takes place over the August Civic Holiday weekend.

“They’re well aware of our timeline,” he explained to council.

In regards to the project, Councillor John Hammond

stressed the importance of informing affected residents about inconveniences that will occur relating to construction.

In response to a letter sent to residents of the area, feedback offered during a November of 2017 public meeting included comments including the cost was too high for those affected and that too many trees were slotted for removal through the part of the Coronation project that includes a new sidewalk and bulb outs at the Erie Street intersection.

As part of the report recommending Lepera as the successful project bidder, a chart indicated that per-

property costs to owners would range from as low as roughly $8,700 to as high as in excess of $22,000.

For the work in store for the urban street, a budget of just over $2.1 million has been set aside, including engineering, sewer and water components. After construction and total calculation of all actual project costs, administration will offer a report and accompanying bylaw for council’s consideration in assessing charges to benefiting property owners.

Those property owners will be invited to attend the council meeting where the proposed bylaw is discussed and if desired, offer submis-

sions to council.

Regarding plans for the above-ground upgrades planned for Coronation Avenue, a resident of the area presented concerns to council during the March 26 meeting. After he asked why plans called for a five foot-wide sidewalk when higher pedestrian traffic streets like Sherk Street have only four foot-wide versions, Botham noted that newer sidewalks are often wider than their predecessors.

“They began as footpaths and have generally been getting wider since then,” Botham explained.

He also noted that wider sidewalks allow pedestrians

to walk side by side and allow enough width for users travelling in opposite directions to pass each other without having to step on the nearby grass. Additionally, he explained that Leamington’s small-scale plows used to clear snow off sidewalks are more than four feet wide. In response to a suggestion that sidewalks be paved around mature trees to avoid removing them, Botham said the municipality has traditionally used a linear layout that allows easier winter maintenance.

Straight sidewalks, he added, also prevent placing them over underground utility lines.

Gearing up for Relay For Life

By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE – On Saturday, March 30, representatives of the Canadian Cancer Society welcomed dozens of volunteers aboard for a little information and sharing for this year’s nautical-themed Relay for Life.

The kick-off, hosted at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, on Saturday gave relayers and prospective participants a chance to hear a few fundraising tips and meet fellow relayers as well as Cancer Society representatives.

This year, a team from Kingsville District High School has joined forces with the Colasanti-based relay June 7, beginning at 7 p.m. and running until 7 a.m.

‘Cavs for a Cause’ has previously raised $46,000, joining the effort in support of teacher Lana Grondin.

Grondin is no newcomer to the event, participating with her family, including her three sons, for seven years in the Windsor relay.

Grondin, whose husband Ken Roughton fought Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma for seven years and underwent a bone marrow transplant, before passing away December 16, 2011, was touched by the students’ compassion – offering their commitment and dedication in helping raise funds in the battle against cancer.

Kingsville District High School students have teamed up with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser.

Committee members Jonathon and Ciara Claro are pictured with teacher Lana Grondin.

(Southpoint Sun Photo)

She said 80-90 students are lending a hand in raising funds, with 25-30 joining in the actual relay.

She said it is students like twins Ciara and Jonathon Claro, 18, who have shown such empathy and compassion, that make up the school’s relay committee.

It is through their selflessness, she said, that the school has continued its participation in the fundraising efforts.

Grondin, a visual arts teacher, is seeking photos of those who have lost their battle with cancer.

The photos will be used in a memorial video that will be played during the emotional luminary ceremony at this year’s relay.

Anyone wishing to have a photo of their loved one featured in the video may

send photos to lana. grondin@publicboard.ca Kelly O’Rourke, Community Fundraising Specialist with the Canadian Cancer Society Essex County, is delighted with the partnership.

“I’m so happy they decided to team up with us,” said O’Rourke. “The youth bring such great, fresh ideas.”

O’Rourke said registrations are up so far this year and she is hoping for upwards of 300 participants. “Our hope is to create a world where no one has to hear the words ‘you have cancer’,” she said.

While it is an emotional yet uplifting event, O’Rourke said there’s also plenty of fun for the entire family.

Donald Girardin Donald Murray Girardin, October 12, 1939 - April 2, 2019. Loved and cherished husband of Sharon (Schraeder) for over 55 years.

Don was the father of two children, who he loved very much and of whom he was very proud, Laura Vukanovich (John) and Michael (Adrienne). His six grandchildren were a welcome addition to the family and a source of love and pride, Jack, Ben, Nick, Madison (Hoak), Olivia and Cassidy. Also surviving are a brother, James (Donna), and sister, Grace Johnston (late Murray).

Don was a lifelong resident of Leamington. He was employed by H.J. Heinz Co., working in the Quality Control Department until retirement in 1996. He loved golf and almost any other sport, and was a star football player at L.D.S.S. in his high school years. Later years were spent boating, which enabled him to share this hobby with family and friends.

Don was a caring and generous man and always put other’s needs ahead of his own. He was robbed of his last years when Alzheimer’s claimed him, but it didn’t define him. He will always be remembered in our hearts with love.

Visiting was at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) on Saturday, April 6, 2019 from 12 p.m. until time of Memorial Service to celebrate Don’s life at 1 p.m.

Memorial donations may be made by cheque to the Alzheimer Society.

David Elcomb David A. Elcomb, born April 28, 1930, the last of three boys, to Ester and Frank Elcomb at home in the gardener’s cottage on the Mott estate in Brantford. Reluctantly left us Sunday, March 31, 2019 at Erie Shores Hospice, Leamington. Predeceased by his parents and brothers Frank and John.

Survived by his wife Avis Anne (Scooter) after 60 years of fun and adventures, his children Kedre (Blake), Douglas, and Jennifer (Gary), and his cat Frannie.

Dave graduated in tool and die from Ford Trade School in Windsor in 1952 and attained his Mechanical/Electrical Engineering degree at GMI, Flint, MI, in 1957. He was the Plant Engineer at GM on Walker Road when it built engines, and then converted the lines to automatic transmissions for McKinnon’s in 1963, mostly without closing the entire plant (the transmission plant reverted to GM in 1969). In 1980 he earned his P.Eng designation based on his private work in design and construction of sailboat, unlimited hydroplane, and racing car components. When he retired in 1985, Dave and his buddy Curly Ellis started Elcomb & Ellis Engines (E3), a small aluminum foundry for the sailboat industry. Dave also enjoyed his family race team, Ecurie Shoestring, his time as an auto racing steward with CASC, and his founding membership in the Vintage Auto Racing Association of Canada as well as the Cedar Island Yacht Club.

He was a gentle, humble man with too much intelligence. As a friend once said, “Elcomb, if you weren’t so clever, you’d have a much easier life.”

Cremation has taken place as requested.

The family will host an Open House at the Church of the Epiphany (96 Main St. W., Kingsville) on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 from 2-4 p.m. Dress casual. Please bring lots of stories to tell! No flowers. Instead, please consider making a donation in Dave’s memory to the church, the soul-saving Erie Shores Hospice (194 Talbot St. W., Leamington) or Windsor Essex County Humane Society (1375 Provincial Road, Windsor).

Gwendolyn Whitehead Our beloved mother and grandmother, Gwendolyn L. Whitehead, 90, of Wheatley, Ontario, Canada, passed away Thursday, March 14, 2019, with her family by her side.

Gwen was born on February 6, 1929 to parents Glenn Augustus Foster and Nora Ellen Cobley.

After attending teaching college and graduating with certifications to teach elementary school, she taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Wheatley.

After a few years, she moved to Niagara Falls to teach and met her future husband, Kenneth Whitehead, at a YMCA dance. They dated for three years and married on July 20, 1957 in Niagara Falls in a small ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

The couple stayed in Niagara Falls for only a year after their marriage when the town was hit with a long winter, leading them to decide that they would move to a much warmer climate in California. They decided to move to Fullerton, California, because of its lively downtown area and close vicinity to larger cities in Orange County.

Not long after their move to Fullerton, Kendra was born, followed by Patrice and Jonathan. When she wasn’t busy with all the children’s activities and lessons, she volunteered at school, led PTA meetings and became an active member of Morningside Presbyterian Church. She served on the Board of Deacons, sang in the choir and directed the children’s choir for years.

Not long after Kenneth retired, their first grandchild arrived. The two happy grandparents added three more grandchildren and watched them full time, taking them to piano lessons and attending all of their events and activities. She continued to lead the children’s choir, taught Sunday School and was always lending a hand to the church’s Children’s Center. Two more grandchildren came along, and they were lucky enough to move in with her in the original house Kenneth and Gwen moved into back in the 1960s.

She cared for her husband until his death in 2007, and she is survived by her children, son Jonathan and daughters Kendra and Patrice, and grandchildren Kylie and Kenneth Marshall, Alayne Avila, Emily Sklencar and Nainoa and Kaileo Whitehead.

Although Gwen became a US citizen years ago, she remained a Canadian at heart. Yearly trips back to see family and friends were one of the highlights of the past few years. She is in our hearts and lives on in every memory we have of her. We miss her every day, but draw inspiration from her strength and never ending love for family and friends.

Norma Gow Norma Marie Gow started the five generations of people who we call “our family”. We are blessed with such wise, intuitive, genuine, loving people who all originated from her beautiful soul. Norma’s heart mind and soul aligned perfectly, which is the reason for the 99 amazing years she spent on this earth. We celebrate her life and her legacy.

As a family we are at peace with the knowledge that on Friday, March 29, 2019 at 4:15 a.m., Norma made her journey home to be with our Father in Heaven and has reunited with those she has lost in her lifetime. A wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She will forever be in our hearts.

Devoted wife to the late Gerald Gow and dear mother of Judy Shaften (Paul), Jackie Monminie (Leonard) and the late Bill Gow (Julie). Dearest grandmother to Lisa Gow Champagne, De-Anna Speed (Ian), Lee Ann Joyce (Terry), Tara L. Gow (Cardoso), Jeremy Gow (Theresa), Stephanie Sleiman (Michael), Sarah Shaften (Jay), Bradden Wilkinson (Renee), Darrell Wilkinson (Trudy), Shaun Wilkinson, Candice Monminie, and loving great and great-great-grandmother to Daniel Champagne, Erin Champagne (Zach), Bryce Speed, Jessica Joyce (Hope), Ti-Ana Guenther (Phil), Jagger Joyce (Brittney), Bowie Cardoso, Jazsper Cardoso (Helen), Elijah Cardoso (Kenzie), Liam and Landon Gow, Jayden, Jamil, Jenah and Jesse Sleiman, Brook and Alexis Lock, Taylor Wilkinson, Caullin and Evan Rundle (Stephanie), Benjamin, Sabastian and Natasha Wilkinson, Cayden and Finley Wilkinson, Alexis Champagne, Charly and Chase Friessen, Kapree Guenther, Nirvana and Atlas Joyce, and baby Bryson Cardoso, Thomas Rundle, Torren, Kaden, Deshawn and AJ Young.

Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Simple Choice Cremation Centre (Chatham: 519-3542585).

Family and friends are invited to gather at Evergreen Memorial Park, 366 Talbot St. W., Leamington, on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at 3:30 p.m. to celebrate Norma’s life. A dinner will follow at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, 1550 Rd. 3 E., Kingsville.
