St. Clair College course coming to Leamington this fall

By Sheila McBrayne St. Clair College may have at least one course set to run this fall in Leamington.

A survey conducted by St. Clair College had 440 respondents who overwhelmingly – 96.5% – stated they felt the college should offer programs in Leamington.

The survey was conducted from July 6 to 18. St. Clair College representative Scott O’Neil, Director of Applied Research and Development, stated that the number of responses and content is significant.

Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright presented the results of the survey to Leamington Council at its Monday, August 11 regular meeting.

The five courses listed in the survey included: Business Computer Applications Certificate, Accounting Studies Certificate, Office Administration Certificate, Personal Support Worker Certificate, and Entrepreneur Certificate.

The majority of respondents – 56.7% – also indicated that they would prefer part-time, night classes. The classes would be held at the South Essex Community Council’s (SECC) recently renovated office in Leamington. After approaching several locations, the SECC office was the best fit to play (Continued on Page 3)

Dancel crowned Miss Sunset Tomato Festival Queen

By Sheila McBrayne For 17-year-old Celeste Dancel, the 2014 Miss Leamington Tomato Festival Scholarship Pageant had a fairy tale ending.

The senior student from Cardinal Carter Secondary School was crowned the 2014 Queen of the pageant. She also won the Miss Entrepreneur Award for raising more than $3,600 of the $8,100 total raised by all nine contestants. “ I can’t beleive it. Tonight I fulfilled a childhood dream... I always wanted to be competent and confidant and thanks to the pageant I am a totally different person than when I started the competition,” said Celeste moments after being crowned by 2013 Miss Tomato Festival Pageant Queen Jessica Epp. First runner-up was Erica De Francisco, 17, who also won the 3-D Award for determination, desire and discipline. Second runnerup was Kayla Biekx, 19, who also won the Most Photogenic Award as chosen by Lindsey Langlois of F8 Photography.

Miss Congeniality, voted on by the contestants themselves, was won by Emily Deimling, 18, of Belle River.

Miss Disney, in accordance with the Disney fairy tale princess theme, was won by Shania Eusebio, 17.

New OPP billing model for municipalities The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is introducing a fairer, more transparent billing model for the municipalities it serves across the province. The announcement was made August 14.

The new model, which takes effect January 1, 2015, reflects input from the Auditor General and municipalities to more fairly and transparently distribute policing costs.

The model includes two components: base policing costs such as crime prevention, proactive policing, officer training and administrative duties, and cost for reactive calls for service.

Base policing will account for approximately 60% of the bill, reactive calls will

account for approximately 40%.

This eliminates the large differences in the amounts municipalities were charged and provides municipalities with better data so they can understand the types of calls for police service in their community and direct crime prevention strategies.

The new model will be phased in over a period of up to five years to allow municipalities time to adjust their budgets.

“The new billing model is a positive step toward achieving greater equity and transparency in OPP municipal policing cost-recovery,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes.

“It will address concerns

brought forward by the Auditor General of Ontario and many of our municipalities.

We are moving in the right direction with this model.”

“Updating the OPP billing model is about making it fairer, more transparent, and easier to understand,” said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

“This new model helps ensure that costs to municipalities served by the OPP are shared fairly while enabling communities to direct their crime-prevention efforts towards saving money and keeping their communities safe.”

Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP Rick Nicholls, Ontario PC Community Safety Critic, does not agree, however, and issued the following statement: “Today, the Liberal government released its new OPP billing model for Ontario’s OPP-serviced municipalities. The government has clearly issued this at the eleventh hour, before the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference. They claim it will be more transparent. But the

Police requesting public’s help in finding missing person Leamington OPP launched an appeal at approximately 11:30 Tuesday morning, Aug. 19, requesting the public’s assistance in locating David Capps, 66 years of age, who was reporting missing by his wife from Leisure Lake Campground on County Road 31 in the Municipality of Leamington.

Capps was last seen by his wife at approximately 5:00 p.m. on Aug. 18. She believes he left on his bike, which is a dark-coloured Gemini 21-speed mountain bike with yellowish-orange saddlebags with 3 reflectors.

Mr. Capps is described as 5’6”, 150 lbs., with grey hair that is balding, scruff on his face, and wearing a dark colour T-shirt and grey cargo-type David Capps shorts.

Mr. Capps still had not been located as of press time. Anyone who has seen him or knows anything about the whereabouts of David Capps is asked to contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122.

Liberals have left out crucial details on how much this new model will actually cost municipalities. The government has provided an average per house price for policing. That doesn’t tell municipalities what police services will cost in Cochrane versus what they will cost in Leamington.

And it doesn’t tell us which of the four cost-splitting options the province has chosen from the options developed by the Association of

HONDA

Municipalities of Ontario.

Property owners and municipalities across the province deserve clarity. They deserve answers. Today’s announcement simply isn’t good enough.”

OPP Quick Facts: • The OPP provides policing services to 324 Ontario municipalities.

• The current OPP billing model was introduced in 1998 and has not been updated in 17 years.

• The OPP acted on the Auditor General’s 2012 report in revising the billing model.

• The average per property cost for OPP services in 2015 is estimated to be $355, compared to an average of $787 (estimated) for self-policed municipalities.

St. Clair College course coming to Leamington this fall (Continued from Front) host to the proposed classes.

On July 25th the St. Clair College initiative group composed of Scott O’Neil, St. Clair College’s Director, Applied Research and Development; Irene Moore Davis, St. Clair College, Manager, Continuing Education, Warkentin, and Wright, met to review the survey and recommend a plan of action. We are now awaiting a response from St. Clair College regarding our recommended plan of action.

“They are looking at running the Business Computer Application program three nights a week starting in late September,” said Carolyn Warkentin, Executive Director of SECC. She explained the classes would run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The certificate program includes a total of 10 courses to be completed.

“We’re planning to move ahead with the Business Computer Application program this fall. We’re thrilled that SECC is offering us the space,” said Moore Davis.

The Manager of St. Clair College’s Continuing Education Program also stated that this one program could potentially turn into several programs offered at the Leamington location. “We’re anticipating adding additional programs. If this one goes well, there were others courses of interest for the area,” she said.

“We’re excited to have such enthusiastic partners. Deputy-Mayor Wright has been very involved and has spent a lot of time with us setting this up in Leamington and putting the pieces together,” said Moore Davis.

In the comments section of the survey, some respondents indicated that transportation to Windsor had been a barrier, but having St. Clair College offering courses in Leamington would solve this problem.

Also alleviating the transportation problem is a shuttle service offered from Leamington to St. Clair College, Windsor Campus. This is the second year that the shuttle has operated.

“Our numbers have almost doubled from last year; we’re up to about 23. So many, we may have to look at a second vehicle,” said Warkentin.

“This is really going to be something for Leamington to have a post secondary program offered right here. And it could be the beginning of more to come,” said Wright.

“This is excellent for Leamington. This is the kind of stuff and alliances Leamington needs to have. They may take time, but once we get the ball rolling, we’ll have something to be proud of,” added Warkentin.

Life Goes On We have all heard the saying “life goes on,” and it does, even when one suffers a disability. However, most of the familiar facets of one’s life change considerably when a disability occurs. The focus moves away from the familiar such as going to work, to the unfamiliar such as go to the doctor or hospital, understanding the nature of the accident or sickness and, if necessary, coming to terms with any continuing problems that will result in a lifestyle change. Having a disability is a stressful event.

Its how one copes with the stress that often will determine how your life will be affected. It is interesting that it is often not the gravity of the impairment that determines the associated stress level, but rather it is the outlook of the disabled person.

People, especially the younger generation, consistently underestimate the probability of a disability.

Worse, they underestimate the length that people who become disabled stay disabled. If you become disabled for more than 90 days, the expectation is 1 in 3 that you go back to work at what you were doing.

If you are disabled and lost your income, where does this money come from?

Your spouse: A spouse may be able to cover some or all

tage you will not qualify for this benefit.

of the expenses. However, your disability may affect your spouse’s income by requiring him or her to become a caregiver or assume more household responsibilities.

There may also be additional expenses such as childcare, medical or home modifications.

You are more likely to suffer a disability than to die prematurely. A 20 year old man is about 3 times more likely to be disabled for at least 90 days than he is to die before age 65. If you are 35 years old and your current monthly income is $3000, you will earn 2 million between now and 65, if your earnings increase by 2% per year. This significant amount is what disability insurance is intended to protect.

RRSPs and Savings: How long can you live off of your savings? Remember that money drawn from Registered Plans is taxable and you lose that contribution room, and you now have a retirement plan that is in jeopardy.

Plans are available with additional features like a return of premium at age 65 if no benefits are paid, or the ability to convert the plan into Long Term Health Insurance which you can use after retirement for home or nursing care.

Loans and Credit: This can be a short term solution, but will leave you further in debt.

CPP Disability Benefit, EI Sickness Benefit and WSIB: These are great plans, but the CPP Disability benefit has requirements, the injury must be severe and prolonged and preventing you from working in any job, you must meet the CPP contribution requirements and you must be under age 65. EI Sickness benefit will only pay for 15 weeks with a two week waiting period and up to a maximum of $514 per week and you must meet the minimum working hours required within an insurable employment. WSIB benefits will only cover work related injuries. So if you break your leg at the arena or at the cot-

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Disability Insurance is basically income protection insurance. It provides protection against the chance of losing income while disabled and not being able to meet expenses, nor continue to save for retirement.

Our greatest asset is our ability to provide an income for our family or our business. It is frequently the most underinsured asset that we own. If you find it hard to live within your income, you will find it extremely hard to live without it.

It’s all fun and games until....

What a difference a couple weeks make.

Mired in the doldrums from having my baseball butt handed to me by a bunch of young softball players, I was seriously contemplating hanging up the glove and spikes at the end of this season. In fact, I was beginning to question whether I belonged on the softball diamond at my age.

Now, after some reflection and spending some time with my teammates, I’m feeling a tad re-energized.

On Thursday nights, our team is comprised of a few old guys and a few younger guys, but all of our competition is considerably younger than we are on average. We can boast three of the oldest players in the league in Jamie Nash, Tony DeSantis and myself. We like to think of ourselves as well-seasoned. Alas, we end up on the wrong end of the score card on most nights. The league is decent, but parity is not its strong point.

There are basically four dominant teams and four mediocre teams and we fall near the bottom of the mediocre pile. Some nights, if things fall into place, we can hold our own.

Of course, it’s more fun to play against the teams we can compete with. The Dirty Farmers and Taylor Fishery (those guys) are both long-established teams in the league who are out there to have a lot of fun and knock the ball around. Nobody gets too serious and that’s the way it should be.

The other team in the basement with us takes the game pretty seriously, but they are very young and just now learning the ins and outs of playing slo-pitch softball.

The standings indicate a huge separation in talent and attitude.

The top four are loaded with phenomenal ball players who swing the most expensive bats they can find. They play in tournaments almost every weekend and are always searching for that elusive Ontario championship when the provincial tournaments come around every fall.

Is it fun playing them?

The simple answer is no, although the Grinders, who are arguably the best team in the league, are usually pretty laid back when they play us, likely from knowing it will be a cake-walk.

Some of the other teams, well you can have them. Bickering, brawls and bush league showboating don’t belong in a beer league.

Being the ripe old age of 53, I’m way past my prime and I know it.

I really don’t require a 30-year-old to remind me of that every time I take the field. And I certainly don’t want to

take the field knowing someone might be trying to purposely hit a line drive directly at me when I’m pitching.

When the dust settles each Thursday night in Wheatley, nobody is going home with a trophy. Nobody is being scouted and everyone has to work in the morning and support a family. We all put our pants on the same way. The league’s cash prizes are minimal.

MARK One thing is cerRIBBLE tain when we hear the umps call that last out.

The beer is cold and the pizza is hot and reRib’s ally, isn’t that what reRamblings ally matters in a league

like this?

So I’ll take my band of misfits and we will continue to tear up the bottom of the standings and when the big year-end tournament rolls around in September, maybe, just maybe, we’ll peak at the right time and put a scare into those dominant teams. I doubt we will, but we’ll have fun doing it. All because we can laugh at ourselves and each other and we know that no matter what, tomorrow is another day.

A fellow by the name of Murray Loop, himself from Wheatley, recently handed me a pamphlet that he picked up on his way through Kentucky a few years back. The pamphlet is titled ‘The Optimist’ and it’s a baseball poem written by Pek Gunn, the one-time poet laureate of Tennessee.

It goes like this...

I passed a sandlot yesterday, Some kids were playing ball, I strolled along the third baseline Within the fielder’s call.

“Say, what’s the score?” I asked the chap.

He yelled to beat the stuffin’, “There’s no-one out, the bases full, And they’re forty-two to nuthin’!”

“You’re getting beat, aren’t you my lad?”

And then in no time flat, He answered: “No sir, not as yet!

Our side ain’t been to bat!”

Thanks for that, Murray.

It really does bring things into perspective for me. I hope a few of my teammates take this to heart and really hope that some of my baseball opponents see it as a reminder of the ageless game we play, if only for fun.

Public financial management Editor, The financial mess that the Town of Amherstburg finds itself in – an estimated $40 million in debt – might serve as reasonable warning to voters in all forthcoming municipal elections in Essex County.

The Deloitte Report, “Financial Management and Practices Review”, on Amherstburg’s situation offers, among its 41 recommendations, several of which should be taken to heart, first by municipal administrators in all county municipal jurisdictions and, more importantly, by incumbent elected Council members and in particular by those currently canvassing to be elected to Councils.

For example, the current phalanx of candidates seeking votes on October 27th in Leamington should all be required to read and digest the Amherstburg Deloitte Report on Financial Management.

As a prefatory note, I am in no manner suggesting that public financial management in the Municipality of Leamington is as chaotic or shoddy as that identified within the Deloitte Report for Amherstburg. However, it remains to be seen whether candidates and eventually those elected have any significant grasp of what complexity is inherent in municipal financial management.

The Deloitte Report broadly concluded that elected politicians were remiss both in terms of intensity of scrutiny and in terms of capacity to scrutinize financial information submitted to Council by an often ill-prepared administrative staff.

The key, of course, is that overwhelmingly elected members of Amherstburg Council were almost universally lacking in the basics of public financial management. True, there had been a short information session offered by the adminis-

tration but not all Council members attended and the session lacked structure and was considered more or less worthless.

Specifically in Leamington it would appear that at least 11 persons are seeking the five available positions on Leamington Council.

Apparently we will have at least 11 people seeking your vote for Council – assuming one can figure out how to vote – and we might reasonably ask all 11 about their capacity to understand the basics of managing our tax dollars.

For example, how many of Leamington’s 11 Council aspirants are able to understand the basics of municipal asset management or a procurement policy framework or even what constitutes a capital budget as opposed to an operational budget?

Leamington spends millions on services to the community, but, in reality, how many of the 11 Council candidates are capable of pressing administration on issues such as bench marking and performance measures for budgets prepared by administration and approved by Council?

To what extent do Council candidates have the capability to engage in informed rigorous assessment of the formal processes in place to assure taxpayers that their public money is being spent efficiently and effectively for the purposes Council intended?

One does not need a degree in public financial management to possess the fundamental capability to understand how budgets are developed, administered and accounted for by municipal administration. Auditors can offer some insights but ultimately it is elected politicians who must be held accountable for financial management. Value for money auditing offers opportunities for intelligent Council (Continued on Page 5)

Rotary Clubs working together for Erie Shores Hospice

Five local Rotary Clubs joined forces recently to help raise funds for the new Erie Shores Hospice being built in Leamington. Their goal is to raise $50,000 to sponsor one of the ten patient rooms.

To start off their campaign, the Rotary Clubs of Amherstburg, Cottam, Essex, Harrow and Leamington held their 1st Annual Hospice Fish Fry at the Seacliff Park Pavilion during the Leamington Tomato Festival. A delicious dinner of yellow perch, French fries, cole slaw, fresh cut vegetables and melon with blueberries was prepared and served up to over 300 hungry patrons!

Along with various club members, almost 40 volunteers joined in to help ensure the success of this inaugural event.

These five clubs are part of Rotary International District 6400 which includes clubs in Southwestern Ontario as well as Southeastern Michigan. In the true spirit of cooperation, these clubs came together for a common cause within their own community.

Rotary International is a

Letter to the Editor (Continued from Page 4) deliberation after the fact!

Any person who diligently and rigorously manages their own personal finances, from credit cards to bank accounts, should have the basic wherewithal to understand the need for formal municipal financial management processes including the capacity to ensure that administration adheres to rigorous standards of probity, effectiveness, economy and efficiency.

Municipal public financial management from the perspective of elected members of Council is not rocket science. But it can become as complex as rocket science if candidates and, subsequently, those elected fail to understand that the heart and soul of municipal government is transparent administrative processes underwritten by a diligent Council member understanding of the basics of municipal public financial management and accountability.

Ask aspiring Council candidates hard questions about their competence to fully understand the responsibilities of managing our tax dollars. Then, place upon yourself some responsibility for making an informed vote thereafter.

Media Arts Program Discovery Event The Leamington Arts Centre (LAC) will be holding the final presentation of the Media Arts Program funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The presentation and reception evening will be held at the Leamington Arts Centre on Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. All are welcome, and admission is free.

Through the grant the LAC was able to release an interest survey throughout the community. The survey has surpassed the goals set out in the work plan and reached over 367 individuals from various organizations, cultural groups, clubs and secondary schools.

The data collected through the interest survey enabled the LAC to better understand the interest in the media arts within the community of Leamington. The objectives in doing this are twofold: • To better support youth and student interests, skills and training in the new media arts and communication technologies. This will be done through the inclusion of a media arts category in the annual LAC Juried Student Art Show.

• To develop a sustainable media arts and film series for the discussion and enjoyment of Leamington residents to further enrich the life of this vibrant community.

During the Discovery Event both the study’s findings and information gathered from the Media Arts Program interest survey will be presented. The program’s manual that will be used by the Media Arts Program Sustainability Committee to implement the program throughout the coming year will also be released. The final presentation will also celebrate the closing reception for “interstices”, the LAC’s inaugural media arts exhibition by local artist Ed Janzen.

Tomato Festival a busy weekend

By Bryan Jessop Anyone who had intentions of taking in all the sights and sounds of the 2014 Leamington Tomato Festival had a big to do list on his or her hands.

The 31st annual weekend of activities — the first to be supported by Mastronardi Produce’s Sunset brand as the main sponsor — was treated mostly to favourable weather conditions from its Thursday afternoon kick-off to its Sunday evening wrap up. Despite same-weekend competition from Balloonapalooza and the Rib Fest in Windsor, this year’s Tomato Festival was well attended at all locations. Although visitor numbers haven’t been estimated, Mastronardi Produce handed out a combined 5,500 parade care packs and sample packages on Saturday alone.

“I think everything went great,” said Tomato Festival committee chairperson Mike Ciacelli. “There was a good mix of vendors, the Tomato Stomp was bigger than ever and it looked like everyone was having a good time.”

The first modification compared to previous years was presented before the festival even began, as Mastronardi Produce stepped up as the main sponsor in the weekend’s first-ever absence of Heinz Canada. The opening ceremony at The Big Tomato Tourist and Information Booth replaced the Tapping of the Keg with the Slicing of the Tomato, which Ciacelli explained sparked a bigger attendance than ever before.

Later that night, Cardinal Carter student Celeste Dancel was crowned Miss Tomato Festival Scholarship Pageant queen. Erica DeFrancisco and Kayla Biekx were awarded first and second runners up.

Friday featured several rows of vendors and food booths with children’s activities and a farmers’ market as well as live music on the main stage at the foot of the hill between Seacliff Beach and Seacliff Park. Friday night included rock music performers while Saturday evening presented the local country acts of Early Cash, Crystal Gage and Ryan Bradley.

Folk and contemporary music was played throughout the weekend afternoons.

Friday also included the kick-off of the fourth annual Velocity Volleyball Tournament, led by the organization’s president Jim Konrad. Thirty-two teams vied for titles in Mixed 6, Men’s Competitive 4, Mixed/Women’s 2, Mixed 4 and Men’s 2 divisions. About $2,000 in combined cash prizes were awarded. Saturday morning also included a free kids’ clinic.

Saturday’s main events included the traditional parade in the morning, (see pictures on page 8), making its way southbound along Erie Street from Leamington Fairgrounds to Seacliff Park. The afternoon’s central attraction was the annual Tomato Stomp. This year’s rendition was the largest ever, featuring 11 teams. Ciacilli explained that some entries had to be turned away, although next year’s Stomp could feature as many as 15 teams. Winners were determined by a different format this year, addressing the issue of uneven ground that many suspected caused misleading in-pool measurements. This year, Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce manager Wendy Parsons and Kyle Ciacelli took a Solo cup filled with mashed tomato remains and juice from each team captain and after putting the contents through a strainer, determined the top three entries based on the content levels in 11 measuring cups. The Camper’s Cove Toasted Tomatoes took third place, but a too-close-tocall finish between the Angel Sweet Stompers and Sweet Sunset Stompers forced a ‘stomp off’ tiebreaker to determine first and second place finishers. The Sweet Sunset Stompers went on to take first place.

“The Tomato Stomp brought in a lot of people this year,” Mike Ciacelli noted.

Growing the perfect pumpkin Pumpkins require full sun and lots of water. Make sure the soil is deeply tilled, as the pumpkin’s roots and vines can grow up to 15 feet in any direction.

BILL The best place to grow PLUMB pumpkins is on top of an old compost pile. This is rich in nutrients and there In the is lots of moisture. Choose back yard... a location with good air BROUGHT Peanut Centre circulation to prevent any TO YOU BY: N U R S E R Y fungal problems or downy mildew. When this problem first appears, apply organic fungicides containing copper or sulfur.

Once the seedlings begin to emerge they should be thinned out to only 2 or 3 plants, keeping the strongest and healthiest.

If you want to grow a larger pumpkin, keep only the first two flowers on a vine, pinching off all the other flowers so that there are only one or two pumpkins per vine. The more flowers there are, the smaller the mature pumpkin will be at harvest time.

Harvest time will vary depending on the type of pumpkin you are growing. Most plants will take approximately 110 to 125 days to mature.

During the growing period, support the pumpkins off the ground with straw to keep them from rotting on the ground.

At this stage, each pumpkin will require at least 2 inches of water per week. Turning them weekly allows the pumpkins to develop a perfect shape.

Pumpkins are very prone to cucumber beetles and squash bugs. Planting radishes, petunias or nasturtiums around the plants will keep pests away. If all else fails, pesticides will have to be applied. Check with a licensed professional before spraying.

Once the pumpkins have turned a deep solid color and the vines die back and turn brown, it is time to harvest. Make sure to leave approximately 2-3 inches of stem when cutting pumpkins.

Dale Butler & Friends at Two Creeks

Pornography: A Growing Social Concern Special to the Southpoint Sun by David Dyck Pornography has become a massive global industry in our world today. It generates annual revenue of over 20 billion dollars, more than the combined revenues of ABC, NBC and CBS. Every 39 minutes a new porn video is created in the U.S. alone. There are 4.2 million pornographic websites and over 1.5 billion pornographic downloads per month.

According to a recent study, the average age of first internet porn exposure is 11 years old.

Four out of five 16 year old boys and girls regularly search for porn on the internet and many receive unwanted sexual solicitation.

Many people today think that pornography is harmless. The evidence is proving otherwise. The kind of graphic pornography available on any tablet or smartphone is highly addictive. Researchers are calling it the crack cocaine of the internet. Like other addictions, porn addiction escalates and addicts need more and more arousal to feed their addiction. A growing number of youth are caught in this web of porn addiction.

Even more disturbing, is how exposure to pornography results in negative attitudes towards women. In the world of porn, women are often humiliated and degraded. It teaches men that women are objects for their entertainment and that verbal and sexual abuse are acceptable.

We are only beginning to see the long term impact of all this. Thriving in obscurity and disguised as entertainment pornography is reshaping our society, redefining sexuality and undermining a whole generation of our youth.

These are the reasons why a community coalition has been formed in Leamington. ‘Citizens Concerned About Pornography’ (CCAP) has the following objectives: 1) Advocacy for the safety of our Children and Youth; 2) Recovery and Support for those caught in porn and sex addiction; 3) Education and Awareness for parents in our community; 4) Networking with other agencies.

CCAP holds regular meetings and is planning a number of initiatives in the coming year.

If you are interested in knowing more about CCAP or being part of this coalition please contact Margaret Buschman at ccap.leamington@gmail.com Last month a recovery group for sex addicts began weekly meetings in Leamington.

Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other, so that they may solve their common problem of sex addiction and help others to recover. It is based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.

If you would like more information about this local SA group please contact Ray at 519-965-9419 or Dave at 519-995-1832.

Pets of the Week

Wednesday, August 20, 2014

The silken voice of Dale Butler, accompanied by some of his many friends, will again fill the natural amphitheatre of Two Creeks Conservation Area at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 24.

Dale is a consistent and valued contributor to many events in Ontario. As David Whitaker notes, “Dale Butler is one of the finest musicians in Windsor and Essex County.”

That understates Dale’s musical accomplishments, gifts and range. With consistent energy but as smooth in voice as John Denver, Dale is accomplished in folk, country, gospel and bluegrass. He and his friends sing popular songs from all of these styles, including some of their own. Dale is a talented and prolific composer who brings his ‘gentleman’ nature to reflect on topics as diverse as memories of 1812, and helping Alzheimer’s patients remember ‘That’s who you are’.

Rick Taves notes that Dale is “… one of our area’s most beloved singers and songwriters. A local treasure. You’ll love his music”.

Two Creeks is located just north of Wheatley on Erie Street North (a.k.a. Kent Road #1). If the weather doesn’t co-operate, concert-goers just move into the large pavilion area. Be seated under the sky or under cover. It’s easy: bring your own chair or use one of the benches provided. There is no set fee to attend – give what you want, if you want.

Sample the snacks and drinks offered by Wheatley Scouts. This will be a delightful evening.

Free native garden tour being offered

The Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) invites the public to a free Native Garden Tour on Saturday August 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Six gardens will be highlighted during the tour: Seacliff Park Rain Garden in Leamington, Harrow Rain Garden, Turkey Creek Native Plant Garden in LaSalle, River Canard Park Shoreline Restoration Project, and the Scouts Native Plant Garden and the Lou Romano Native Garden in Windsor.

Naturalists will be on hand at each garden to answer questions about local native plants and pollinators. Visit a garden closest to you, or pick up a Garden Tour Passport at any garden that morning and have it stamped at each location. Passports with a minimum of four stamps will be entered into a draw to win a free Conservation Area annual pass. Please note the Native Garden Tour is weather permitting.

This tour is part of a year-long grant project funded by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. The project aims to provide opportunities for the public to connect with nature through community gardens and to encourage people to invite pollinators, such as the monarch butterfly, into their backyard by incorporating native plants into their landscape.

MIDAS

TOBY

Midas is a high energy boy that is looking for a home that is active. Once he is provided with the exercise he needs he will seems to calm right down. This boy is in need of some basic training and is eager to begin. Midas would be a great companion for a jogging enthusiast. Take me for a big walk every day; give me something to do. After my job's done, I'll curl up in front of the fire with you in the evenings.

Toby is as sweet as they come. This little girl is a little timid at times, but if you call her name she will come a running. She thoroughly enjoys a lot of love and affection. Her little purrs, and rubs will warm your heart. Drop by the shelter to visit Toby is would make any home feel all warm and fuzzy. I love an orderly household, don't you? I'll help you with all your chores, and I'll help you relax when we're done. You'll wonder how you ever managed without me.

Predeceased by his parents Peter and Elisabeth (Fast) Tiessen. Jacob is survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Predeceased by four brothers, Jacob Tiessen, Peter Tiessen, Frank Tiessen and Nicholas Tiessen; six sisters, Anna Loewen, Margaret Gossen, Elisabeth Janzen, Agatha Barkovsky, Mary Harder and Katherine Tiessen; five nephews, Arthur Gossen, David Tiessen, Vern Barkovsky, Peter Janzen and Hardy Tiessen; and by three nieces, Cathy Barkovsky Aldora Harder and Margaret Tiessen. In particular, special friend of Martin, Denise and Luke Rahn, Saraja and Shibu Samuel and Shoba Pompati.

Visiting was at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington, on Tuesday from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.

Jerry Wendall Liddle, 77 years, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at his home in Wheatley.

Beloved husband of Vicky. Dear father of John (Karen) Liddle, Linda (Dan) Wood, Robert Liddle, Mary Jane (Trevor) Pears, Mike (Elaine) Imeson and Brenda Imeson. Twelve grandhildren and six greatgrandchildren also survive.

Dear brother of Jack (Joanne) Liddle and brother-in-law of Don Whittal, Dick (Maryanne) Reder, Dennis (Danielle) Reder. Many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends also survive. Predeceased by his parents Clarence and Eva Liddle, sisters Bernice Fleming and Margaret Whittal, and brother Robert.

Jerry, being a very accomplished fisherman and along with his brother, built and reconstructed several fishing boats over the years. Jerry always needed water under his feet, at work or play. Having travelled around the world on many trips, he loved the family cottage in Muskoka the best. Being a man of few words, he always got his point across with a look or a hand motion. Never being a good speller, he sure could add when the fish tubs were unloaded. A good day on the lake always put a smile on his face. Using his own words... “I’ve done my thing, it’s time for the younger generation to take over.”

At Jerry’s request, cremation has taken place. Visitation was held at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington.

Memorial Service celebrating Jerry’s life was held on Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 11 a.m. Rev. Jack Glover officiated. Interment of cremated remains at Erie Cemetery, Wheatley.

ERCA joins Environmental Defence in drawing attention to water quality issues The Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) joined Environmental Defence and Freshwater Future in the release of a report Aug. 13 that continues to draw attention to the serious water quality issues faced by Lake Erie – and all of the Great Lakes.

Clean Not Green – Tackling Algal Blooms in Our Great Lakes outlines a four-point plan to help create a healthy future for the Great Lakes. ERCA supports the report’s recommendations, which echo those found in the Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan, and Nutrient Management Plans, the Great Lakes Mayors’ conferences, and the International Joint Commission Report and many others which emphasize the need to increase the scale and intensity of the programs that are currently being implemented.

“We have, with partners, shown that investment in these programs work,” said Richard Wyma, ERCA’s General Manager. “For example, after only a decade of investment, natural area coverage in the Muddy Creek watershed more than doubled from 6.5% to more than 13.5%. Water quality monitoring showed statistically significant improvements in nutrient and bacteria concentrations in the watershed, in part attributable to septic system upgrades and other water quality enhancement projects implemented.”

As a result of these actions and support from all levels of government and landowners, Wheatley Harbour was ‘delisted’ as an Area of Concern under the Great Lake Water

Donald Jacobs

The family of the late Donald Jacobs would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude and thanks to New Beginning's Retirement Home and Leamington Memorial Hospital for the professional and compassionate care given to our husband, father, grandfather and brother during his time with them. We would also like to thank the many friends and family who sent flowers, donations, food and who showed their respect and support at our time of loss. Thank you.

Lea Jacobs and Family

our changing climate on storm water management systems and related infrastructure and can lead to greener, lower impact solutions that ultimately reduce impacts into the Great Lakes.

• Working with partners to study and monitor water quality including phosphorous levels and microcystin testing.

• Researching the effectiveness of BMPs in the greenhouse sector on nutrient loadings. ERCA is also working with landowners to study the amount and type of phosphorus exported through surface and tile drainage under different tillage practices.

• Creating and managing wetlands and enhancing shorelines.

“We need to accelerate our efforts and increase the scale and intensity of these existing programs targeting nonpoint sources of pollution to have a measurable impact on phosphorus reduction,” Wyma urged. “More trees must be planted, more acres of lost forest and wetlands need to be restored, reductions in pavement and other impervious surfaces must be sought, and more research must be undertaken to ensure we are taking the most effective approaches.”

Research has demonstrated that these tactics are on the right track – but need to be implemented on a much broader scale to have the desired outcomes. Improving water quality is a shared responsibility, and needs investment and support at all levels.

This report quotes the 1970s children’s book, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, who noted how “dreary things were up in Lake Erie”. What it doesn’t say is that 14 years later, at the encouragement of the Ohio Sea Grant program who described the clean-up of Lake Erie, Dr. Seuss removed that line from the book. “I am sure IN MEMORIAM none of us want to see Lake Erie put back in the story,” added Wyma. “Despite the August 24, 2013 challenges, we have significantly improved the health of our Great Lakes in the past through collaboration and innovation, and can do so again. It isn’t too late.”

Quality Agreement in 2010.

This success demonstrates that positive change can happen with support and investment by everyone, working together collaboratively, as highlighted by the Clean Not Green report. ERCA works with many partners to implement programs that aim to achieve the recommendations in this report, including: • Providing incentives for farmers and other rural landowners and at ERCA’s demonstration farm to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs). These include the design and implementation of soil erosion and water control structures to reduce phosphorous loading from fields and tiles.

• Reaching out to landowners to describe the use of the soil test reports and benefits of soil management and other education and outreach materials.

• Implementing and hopefully expanding a septic system maintenance and outreach programs that enable urban and rural residents to take action to prevent polluted water from running off their property.

• Developing integrated watershed management planning programs that link water quality to water quantity, natural heritage, and those planning tools that integrate and implement change.

• Working with municipalities, universities and other partners to understand the intensity, duration and frequency of

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of the best Dad and Grandpa

CLIFF GRANT

September 16, 1922 - August 22, 2009 A daddy's touch, a grandpa's kiss, A grieving family, you're greatly missed.

An empty house, an empty chair, A daddy's love, no longer there.

A broken heart, tear filled eyes, Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in our minds, Some we laugh, some we cry.

The times we shared, the laughs we had, Things we miss when we think of you, Dad. Realizing that's all we have to hold on to, Only memories of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, we will never again hear, That is the reality that fills us with so much fear. Love forever, No more smile on your face, Sheila & Butch, No more warmth of your embrace.

Joann & Ron, The last hug, the last kiss, Fred & Sandra, The last goodbye leaves us with one last wish.

Bernice & Jerry To have you Dad, here today, and grandkids Never to leave your family this way.

A daddy's touch, a grandpa's kiss, A grieving family, you're greatly missed.

STEVE THOMPSON

County Bridge Results Remembering you is easy, I do it every day.

Missing you is the hardest part, as it never goes away.

To hear your voice, To see your smile, To sit with you and talk for a while, Would be my greatest wish.

The Southpoint Sun - 15

1940 Oldsmobile Series 90 coupe came from Vancouver Colin and Mary Begy of Clarksburg, ON, are the proud owners of a gorgeous 1940 Oldsmobile with an Oshawa factory list price of $1572. Mary writes: “Hi Bill: We enjoy your articles. My husband and I have a 1940 Olds and she’s a beauty! She is the top-of-the-line Series 90 2-door coupe.

She has a straight eight engine and ‘three on the tree!’ When she comes up to a stop, you can’t tell if she is still running. She’s that quiet!”

It’s easy to believe the Olds is that quiet. In June 1958 my brother John and I acquired a mint original 1940 McLaughlin-Buick Super sport coupe in the same body shell as on the Begy’s 1940 Olds. After we bought the car, we drove over to a friend’s house to take him for a drive. Eddie climbed in and said: “OK, start it up and let’s go!” We had to explain there was no need to start the car because it was already running!

Now back to the ’40 Olds: “She is a low mileage car that came from Vancouver about 5 years ago and a real pleasure to drive. Between October 1989 and October 1991, the car was mechanically gone over, a complete new interior was installed, and the car was repainted in the original lacquer paint colour. We purchased the car in October 2010 and have been keeping it well looked after since then. Happy trails!”

The Begy’s 1940 Olds is powered by a flathead straight eight engine with 257 cubic inches cranking out a very respectable 110 horsepower. Features include independent front suspension, coil springs all around, safety glass all around, sealed beam headlights mounted in the front fenders, a wheelbase of 124 inches, and a streamlined body extending over the previous running board space. That streamlined body was new for 1940 and appeared on several GM nameplates that year: top-of-the-line Pontiac, Buick Super and Roadmaster, Olds Series 90, LaSalle and Cadillac.

Side view shows the beautiful lines of this 1940 Olds Series 90 coupe.

The front license plate is an original 1940 Ontario plate (1S786), yellow with black numbers and a letter. Given that the car came from Vancouver, there might be people out there who remember this car. Maybe it was sold new in that city. If we uncover its earlier history, you’ll read all about it right here, where we bring old cars back to life. Stay tuned!

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON, N8H 3W2.

It’s finally here! You’ve been waiting for it!

Jeffery joins Team Ontario Leamington Bantam Lakers outfielder Jessica Jeffery will be joining Team Ontario this week to compete in the 2014 Baseball Canada 16U Girls Invitational Championship being held in Saguenay, Quebec.

After Friday night’s game the Lakers got together and polished off some doughnuts as a “send-off” for Jessica, their friend, teammate and “favourite player on Team Ontario,” added Laker shortstop Brett Enns. “We will be checking social media to see how she does and to follow her team.”

Jeffery, 15, left Tuesday morning on the trek to Saguenay. The tournament starts Thursday with the finals scheduled for Sunday.

The championship is a nine-team tournament with teams representing Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Quebec (2) and Saskatchewan.

This is the third year Jeffery has played for the provincial team and she is hoping to add to her medal collection. She won a silver in 2012 and a gold last year.

The age old debate of which sports BRYAN are harder to play JESSOP — both within and beyond those involving the internal Jessop’s combustion engine Journal — could very well rage on forever. Arguing in favour of ice hockey seems reasonable enough, as you’ve got to learn a new skill before you can even consider being competitive. That skill of course is skating, which never comes as naturally as the running and sprinting that are so crucial to other sports. Then again, passing in hockey is more-or-less two dimensional — the same cannot be said for football, lacrosse, baseball (throwing the ball is really just passing it, despite the refusal of commentators to use the word) or even soccer.

Have you ever watched a rugby game? There’s an unusual play where three or four players will launch a teammate into the air so he can catch a ball that would have otherwise soared well over his head and out of reach. I can only imagine how much practice it takes to perfect that maneuver. I also wonder how an umpire would react if a trio of outfielders used it to prevent a home run. They’d have to be pretty fast to set it up, but it’d be a doozie for the highlight real.

I suppose it goes without saying that you’ve pretty much got to try them all to have anywhere near enough authority to say one sport is more difficult to play than another.

Before I had tried curling for the first time, I assumed it was an easy sport to get the hang of — the more successful competitors, I figured, were simply those who were best at fine-tuning their shots and ‘reading’ the ice. I’d played my fair share of hockey, so the slippery characteristics of ice weren’t going to be a problem.

Wrong.

The only thing about curling that’s really easy is falling over — not exactly a skill your skip is going to admire.

Some sports are particularly difficult in part because of their specific rules. I would have been a lot better at volleyball if players were allowed to let the ball hit the floor once before returning, setting or spiking it. My less than lightning-fast reflexes wouldn’t have been such a setback.

If only basketball allowed the ball carrier to take five or six steps without dribbling before he or she was called for traveling. Who knows, maybe I could have perfected the layup.

Or how about introducing bracket racing to the 100-metre dash? In drag racing, there’s a format of the sport where the slower of two head-tohead cars gets a ‘head start’ based on the difference between the predicted times (called a dial in) of each participant. Whoever runs closer to his or her preBackhoe & Trenching • Sewers dicted time/dial in without Waterlines • Basement Waterproofing beating it (called breaking Trucking • Stone • Electric Eel Service out) wins.

The Southpoint Sun - 19

Players, coaches and a few young fans gather for pre-game photos between Team Mexico and Team Canada for the fifth annual Cross Cultural Sports Day at Kinsmen Fields Saturday, Aug. 16.

Team Canada won the soccer game 6-2, followed by a 20-15 win for the Essex County OPP team over Team Mexico in the slo-pitch match.

Cross Cultural Sports Day another success

By Bryan Jessop Although spectator numbers fell somewhat short of expectations, the fifth annual Cross Cultural Sports Day was another qualified success.

Organization of the event was again led by Ontario Provincial Police Leamington detachment community services constable Kevin O’Neil. This year’s soccer and following slo-pitch games were held at Kinsmen Fields on Seacliff Drive Saturday, Aug. 16.

The soccer game pitted Team Mexico against Team Canada — the best of the Leamington area’s Mexican migrant workers against a team of Leamington SC United men’s team players. Team Canada won 6-2 to bring the overall series to a 3-2 standing in its favour. Canada struck early with the first two and although Mexico replied to cut the advantage in half, the squad of local players continued to apply offensive pressure en route to the victory.

The game was held on the field directly north of the Sun Parlour Community Curling Club and attracted fans and supporters of both teams. The following slo-pitch game also drew spectators, although O’Neil explained that he would have liked to see larger numbers. He doesn’t believe Tomato Festival weekend activity had a significant impact on the number of fans who attended — in the past, the two games have been held on Sunday afternoons, Saturday evenings and Labour Day weekend. The festivities were promoted in part with posters placed at different locations throughout Leamington as well as signage at the community’s 7-11 convenience store.

Regardless, he was happy to see fans arrive in support of their players.

“They came out to cheer their team on. I was happy to see that,” O’Neil explained. “The (slo-pitch) game was probably the most fun game we’ve ever had.”

The team of Essex County OPP officers defeated Team Mexico 20-15 in a match that O’Neil noted was much closer than the score indicated. The OPP team remains undefeated in Cross Cultural Sports Day with a record of 5-0. This

year’s pre-game home run competition was won handily by the OPP team’s Wes Dewhurst, who sent a total of 13 pitches over the fence. The next closest competitor, one of Mexico’s players, connected for five.

O’Neil was assisted with this year’s pre-event planning

by Esubio Fortuna, who organized and formed this year’s Team Mexico soccer team. Joe Oswald prepared the Canadian soccer team while Arturo Gutierrez also assisted with Cross Cultural Sports Day arrangements. O’Neil explained that the purpose of the annual, good-natured competition is to provide a recreational outlet to the estimated 5,500 migrant workers who travel from Mexico to Leamington every

year — a sum equal to just over 19 per cent of the municipality’s population.

Plans have not yet been made on any changes or a specific date for the event’s sixth annual installment, although O’Neil assured that Cross Cultural Sports Day will in fact continue on into 2015. He will soon begin setting his sights on the annual Legendary Hockey Heroes vs. OPP game.

Approaching it’s 14th year, the game is traditionally held at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex in late February. Preparations for the charitable fundraiser begin in early October.

Team Bobby Jones jumps ahead of Team Sam Snead

There’s a new leader in the clubhouse this week in the standings of the Erie Shores Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League as Team Bobby Jones jumped ahead of Team Sam Snead by getting a 6-point performance out of Brian Humphreys, Brian Plumb and Dave Seaton in their match against the Ben Hogan squad, who also picked up 6 points from Ken Cobby, Tim Shultz and Dave Wilkinson.

Team Lee Trevino is tied for second place with the Sam Snead crew, thanks to the 8 points they received from Richard Lowes, Gary McRae, Jack Martin and Roger Cote. The Sam Snead men only got 4 points for the top two low gross finishes

by Brendan Cornies and Ward Hutchins.

The Gene Sarazen team is 8 points back in fourth place, courtesy of the 8 points they received for their 4 net match victories from Claudio Sabelli, Matt Taouil, Mike Herbert and Rob Lee. The teams of Gary Player and Harry Vardon are tied for fifth place with 61 points each because of a slack night from Wray Pollock and Ken Hamm, while the Vardon men climbed back up the ladder due the big 10-point night from Kevin Babkirk, Ted Dube, Tim Vreman, Gene Bouliane and Andrew Dick.

Team Tom Watson is slipping back slowly in the standings with 59 points because of another off-night, while Ben Hogan is close behind with 57. Trailing behind with 51 and 50 points are Teams Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Winning closest to the pin honours this past week was Tim Tiessen on hole #3, while Mike MacKinnon had the longest drive on the 7th hole and Spencer Neufeld made the longest putt on hole #8.

BANK THEATRE NOTES

Senior golfers enjoy great day of golf Monday, Aug. 18 was one of the best Mondays the Erie Shores senior golf league has had for golf weather this year. Fifty-two players came out to enjoy the weather, friends, and a round of golf.

Low round of the day went to Wray Pollock with a 79. Right behind were Matt Dick, Ken Luxford, and Ed Shachoskoy each shooting 80s.

Henry Hildebrandt led the way with 3 birdies.

Brett Madden shanked one on #8, just missing Ken Luxford. Even though Brett could not get over shanking the rest of the way, he did manage to wake up his teammates as they finished in a tie for second place. Shanks a lot, Brett.

Frank Mazzara had a sand save on #3 for a par net 1 to be matched by Roger Hodgson with a par on #16 for a net 1.

Here are the final results.

50/50 draw: Gary Alderson for $15, and Francis Garant for $10.

Closest to pin: George Turnbull on #3 for $13, and Bob Dick on #16 for $13.

Cash prizes of $1,000, $500, $250, $125 (x2) and $50 (x5) were awarded for the top 10 rainbow and top 10 walleye. Prizes of $150, $100 and $50 were awarded respectively for the tournament’s longest salmon, yellow perch and sheepshead, as well as daily prizes of $50 for the longest rainbow and walleye.

Trophies were also given out for the longest walleye and the longest rainbow.

The weekend of volleyball was a huge success overall, with 35 teams and 140 individuals competing in the Velocity Volleyball Beach Tournament held during Tomato Fest. This year there was representation from Leamington, Kingsville, Wheatley, Essex, Chatham, Windsor and Michigan, and all areas in between.

This was also one of the best competitive years of the tournament as nearly 12 University of Windsor or St. Clair College teams took part.

The Men’s Competitive 2s was a big crowd pleasure with nearly 200 people watching the competition. The calibre of volleyball at the tournament was excellent.
