Wheatley Fish Fest a two-weekend event

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – A time-honoured tradition in Wheatley is making both time and space for a newer annual event this year.

The committee organizing this year’s Fist Fest has scheduled the majority of the attractions for Saturday, July 27 — one week earlier than the traditional August Civic Holiday Weekend.

One of the biggest changes to the festival’s schedule is the cancellation of Wheatley Idol, which has been a part of the weekend for the past 15 years. As of last week, just over half a dozen contestants had signed up for the competition. Later, some of those would-be competitors dropped out, forcing organizers to cancel the event.

That day will continue to be featured as Family Day at Coulter Park, offering many of the festival’s popular events for visitors of all ages. To start, registration for the 1 km Minnow Race and 5 km Run will start at 8 a.m. on the Ivan Coulter Park stage, with the Minnow Race to start at the Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion parking lot entrance at 8:45 a.m. and the 5 km race for older entries at the corner of Foster Street and Erie Street North at 9 a.m. Entries can sign up through the website www.wrace.org/html/events.html or on the day of the event during on-stage registration beginning at 8 a.m.

Youths up to 12 years of age for the Minnow Race, sponsored by the Wheatley Legion, can register at $5 each while 5 km Run participants are $40 each. Proceeds will again support Spina Bifida programming through Hydrocephalus Canada.

Held in support of Wheatley resident Shauna Beaudoin, 5 km runners may also collect pledges for the fundraiser.

The annual Pet Parade will start at 10 a.m. — also at Coulter Park — for pet owners of all ages. Prizes will again be awarded in several different categories such as smallest pet, biggest pet, oldest pet, youngest pet, most talented and others. Jangles the Clown will return to the park from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

New this year is a youths’ colouring contest from 8 a.m. to early that afternoon, starting at the Legion and carrying over to Coulter Park directly across the street. Divided into three age categories up to 10 years, prize winners will likely be announced between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. Another new feature will allow fans to meet players of the Wheatley Omstead Sharks, who will be setting up a net for youths to test their shooting skills. Face painting will also be available as part of Family Day. If July 27 is met with inclement weather, most of the day’s events will be hosted indoors at the Wheatley Legion. The Legion will also be hosting its Fish Fry on Saturday, July 27 at about 5 p.m. Tickets are now available at the Legion for $15 apiece.

Events to retain their original Civic Holiday weekend dates will include the renowned Yellow Perch and Broasted (Continued on Page 2)

Ribfest hits Leamington

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The sun wasn’t the only source of extreme heat over the past weekend.

Leamington welcomed its first-ever Ribfest from Friday, July 19 to Sunday, July 21 for a mouth-watering gathering at Seacliff Park. While live bands and performers took to the stage of the Seacliff Park Amphitheatre, patrons converged on the grounds to the stage’s right for a taste of the offerings from four professional ribbers. Gonzalez BBQ, Jack The Ribber, Route 55 B.B.Q. Team and Brickyard BBQ — all multiple award winners — vied for top honours from both a panel of 10 celebrity judges as well as the general public for an assortment of People’s Choice Awards.

The winners from various categories will be posted to the website www.ribfestleamington.ca once information is available. The first set of results were for Overall People’s Choice and Overall Celebrity Judges categories — both won by Gonzalez BBQ. In the Celebrity Judges Sauce category, top honours went to Jack The Ribber. Only three points away in the runner-up position for Celebrity Judges Sauce was Kingsville youth Alexis Russell. The 12-year-old Jack Miner Public School student received a trophy and gift basket as runner up for her Russell House BBQ Sauce, which sold out at the ticket table within a 10-minute time frame.

Racks of barbecued ribs were accompanied by live music, a gathering of about 40 vendors scattered throughout the park, carnival rides and beverages offered by event partners including The Grove Brew House, Sons of Kent Brewing Company, Market Brewing Co., Wolfhead Distillery and Summit Sandbar.

Celebrity judges who ranked four ribbers and five barbecue sauce providers included (Continued on Page 5)

GTA geese calling Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary home KINGSVILLE – Motorists carefully make their way along Road 3W while several Canada Geese slowly strut across in front of their car Sunday, July 21. About a month earlier, Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary received a truckload of about 1,000 Canada Geese from Mississauga, where there was an overabundance of the birds in the GTA city’s parks. Motorists have been exercising caution along Road 3W near the sanctuary, where staff including summer students are banding the birds. Each goose is to receive two bands — one for Jack Miner’s and the other for the Canadian Wildlife Service’s official records. Staff at the sanctuary are hoping that the new arrivals will join the ‘regular’ geese in their southward migration this fall.

Sue Adamson, Larry — Sue Adamson MacDonald and other members as well as a team of volunteers, decided to split the schedule over two weekends to make way for Hogs For Hospice’s new and expanded Tour The Tip route on Saturday, Aug. 3. The tour of several hundred motorcycles begins at Leamington’s Seacliff Park at 10:30 a.m. that day and after making its way to the tip of Point Pelee and back out of the park, will travel east along Mersea Road D. From there, it will head northward along County Road 19 and east then north along Mersea Road 2 before continuing northward on Kent Road 1 through Wheatley. Some of the tour’s participants are expected to make a stop in Wheatley before continuing north and heading west along County Road 14.

The route will head back to Leamington southward on Highway 77 before parading down the Tomato Capital’s Erie Street from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

“We want to accommodate Hogs For Hospice, but we couldn’t really have events near the road with a thousand motorcycles rolling by,” explained Adamson of the decision to move most events to July 27. “Also, we wanted to have a day where the focus could be more about families and kids.”

LEAMINGTON – Aspiring small business owners are now officially being granted the chance to get a head start on their entrepreneurial dreams in Leamington.

The municipality launched its first Reinvent This Space program Friday, July 19 within the vacant storefront at 23 Erie Street South, declaring that submissions are now open for applications to take advantage of the new incentive. Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, fellow members of council, administration and representatives of the area’s business community attended the launch, which included the revealing of a new promotional video for the program.

The space made available for the winning entry to Reinvent This Space was formerly occupied by Schmidt Jewellers, a sandwich shop and Something Shiny. Prior to accepting applications to the program, the municipal“This is an ity sought out landlords interested in offering their propopportunity for a erties as sites for the successful new business proposal. lot more than just the The winning entry will receive a year’s free rent as proyear’s rent.” vided by the municipality up to a maximum of $15,000.

— Hilda Video submissions explaining why the applicant’s busiMacDonald ness proposal should be chosen as the winning entry must be submitted by August 30 of this year through the site www.ReinventLeamington.com From there, the committee leading the program will select an estimated five or six finalists — depending on the number of submissions received by the deadline — that will undergo a mentorship phase courtesy of the committee’s members.

“This is an opportunity for a lot more than just the year’s rent,” MacDonald explained. “We’re hoping that this will be the first of many more projects like this. All around, this is a win-win situation.”

The committee formed to judge submissions and provide mentorship as business plans are developed include MacDonald, Deborah Rollier, Tyler Hicks, Rene Daudlin-Iacobeli, John Dean and Amy Saba. Each member of the committee will offer advice and guidance to the finalists on different components of planning and operating a business including finance, marketing and legal requirements.

The finalists will be announced by mid September of this year and after completing their plans, will pitch them to members of the committee in a fashion similar to what is seen in episodes of “Dragon’s Den” and “Shark Tank.” The winner of the contest will be selected by November and will open the doors to his or her new business for the first time in mid April.

MacDonald explained that her and other members of council first heard of the idea behind the program about four years ago while attending a presentation. A similar rendition of the contest took place in Colchester, although the mayor noted that the new local version will be customized for the Leamington area.

“We made it a priority in this past budget that this was something we wanted to see happen,” she said. “It’s a great way to help the core grow.”

Manager of economic development, tourism and special events James Cox explained that other available business facilities may be selected by the winner depending on availability and what space is most ideal for their new business. The lease will be negotiated between the landlord/property owner and municipality and if further resources are required to renovate the site before the business opens, support may be available through the Community Improvement Program. Cox also noted that other spaces and support may be available to non-winning Reinvent This Space entries through the Economic Development Office, which can help determine if the potential entrepreneur is eligible for grants or other assistance through other programs.

Correction Notice In the story “Council voices concerns on crime” that ran in the July 17 issue of the Southpoint Sun, Councillor Tim Wilkinson’s quote when addressing the Ontario Provincial Police representatives at the Tuesday, July 9 Leamington Council meeting should have read: “Both of you are going to know about our institution at the corner of Russell and Fox here in Leamington, Leamington Lodge. It’s a fact, our emergency services — fire for instance — is over there an incredible amount of times, which I’m sure brings police most times. Leamington Lodge has been a consistent, another hot spot complaint I’ve been hearing about since I started my job here… It’s no secret in this town that we need improvement. I feel terribly for the residents around Fox Street, Russell Street, everybody over in that urban area.”

Yacht Club hosts sailing camp

By Bryan Jessop

KINGSVILLE – For youths experiencing the summer blahs, the Cedar Island Yacht Club has offered a program to quite literally put the wind back in their sails.

The Youth Sailing Day Camp in Kingsville is now in its second year of operation, presenting a week-long series of instructions, skills and activities to youths ranging from eight to 14 years of age. For 2019, the camps began with a July 1519 session that welcomed 16 local youths — the program’s allowable maximum. Certified instructors Kim Moffat and Alison Campbell led the group through the five-day schedule with lessons on sailing theory, the introduction of sailing skills and water safety, a series of games and activities. On the fifth and final day of the camp, ‘students’ earn a CANSail certificate during an afternoon graduation ceremony and are treated to a barbecued meal.

The program is arranged each year by Ontario Sailing through B.O.O.M. (Best Optimist Ontario Mobile) at locations throughout Ontario each summer. Prior experience is not required of participating youths, although the sessions are still described as challenging and worthwhile for intermediate enthusiasts. In addition to theory learned indoors, registered youths are taken onto the waters aboard eight two-person vessels that are towed from the marina into open Lake Erie waters to earn hands-on experience and lessons.

“They’re just having a riot out there,” said Cedar Island Yacht Club member and Youth Sailing Day Camp coordinator Paul Cairoli. “The fact that we’ve got a lot of kids who’ve returned from last year tells us that the program is a success.”

Cairoli explained that of all the editions of the camp taking place across the province, only the version hosted by the Cedar Island Yacht Club in has been granted a third week per year by Ontario Sailing. Kingsville’s inaugural year for

the program — 2018 — offered two consecutive weeks.

The second week locally will run July 22-26 while the third and final week begins July 29 and ends August 2.

Although all spaces for the final two weeks have been accounted for, Cairoli noted that parents are still encouraged to apply for a spot on the waiting list in the event that a registrant for the final week is suddenly forced to cancel. He also explained that thanks largely to a partnership with and financial support from the Town of Kingsville, the program is available to interested youths at a cost of $360 including HST. Participants for the camp can be registered through the Cedar Island Yacht Club’s Facebook page, emailing ciycyouthsailing@gmail.com or on the website www.cedarislandyachtclub.ca Through the successful promotion of the camp, registered youths are making the five daily trips to Cedar Island Municipal Marina from as far as Windsor to surrounding areas throughout Kingsville and Leamington.

Presently, instructors provide vessels and equipment required upon arrival with a trailer to the host site. The CIYC, Cairoli explained, would like to one day be able to provide its own certified instructors and equipment, although he noted that the club is still a few years from reaching that point.

“This is a great way to promote sailing for younger generations and secure its future,” Cairoli said.

Ribfest hits Leamington (Continued from Front) Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Tammy McGraw, CTV senior news anchor Jim Crichton, Erie Shores Health Foundation manager of community engagements and donor relations Alyica Bento, Bradt’s Butcher Block co-owner Lisa Bradt, Leamington musician Jody Raffoul, Victoria Obied, Anthony Jraige of Spotted In Leamington, Ray’s Ribhouse owner Ray Youssef and Talking Over Turkey founder Mike Diab. Diab also played an instrumental role in making arrangements to present Ribfest to Leamington along with coordinator Chris Glassford of Summit Shows Canada. Glassford in part credited cooperation from the municipality for the opportunity to bring the event to Leamington for the first time.

“They were great to work with,” he said. “It’s been a blast to put this together.

We’re very happy to be in Leamington.”

The overall winning entry — Jorge Gonzalez — assisted with the process in

recruiting other ribbers to participate in the first Leamington event of its kind. Pit master and chef of Gonzalez BBQ, Jorge was happy to see the local circuit of ribbing expand to include the Tomato Capital.

“It’s been a blast to put this together.

We’re very happy to be in Leamington.”

“One of the things that drew me to Leamington is the Spanish community,” he explained. “I love it here, I see a lot of great potential.

I love the sun, the water, the park… Leamington is working out great for this.”

“He’s a very hard working gentleman,” said Gonzalez BBQ team member Zain Munawar of Jorge.

that people need.”

Entertainers for the weekend included Barb Diab and the Smoked Meat Band of Leamington and Montreal and Those Guys and The Chasers country band — both of Chatham-Kent — for Friday evening. Solo and group performances by members of Cassiah’s Dance Academy took to the Seacliff Park Amphitheatre stage prior to judging on Saturday, followed

by Leamington rapper BigPappaNut, Kingsville’s Almost Famous, Chatham’s Flashback Band and Windsor-based 80’s Gone Wild.

Sunday events featured awards ceremonies and DJ Fez’s Latin Party.

Glassford explained that brief rainfall on Saturday did not affect the evening’s festivities.

“After the humidity went down, more people came,” he explained, noting that headliners ’80s Gone Wild packed the beverage garden to its maximum capacity. “The whole thing was a team effort — that’s what really made it work out. It’s definitely something we’ll be able to mould into an annual event. We met so many people who’d give the shirts off their backs to see something like this happen. We learned a lot in the first year — next year, we’ll make better use of the space.”

The second installment of Leamington’s Ribfest will take place at Seacliff Park July 17-19, 2020. Chatham’s Ribfest will take place two weeks earlier while London’s occurs two weeks after the Leamington event.

Letter to the Editor

Bump outs are doing what they were built to do, says reader I read the article in the July 10th Southpoint Sun paper about “bump outs” that have recently arrived on a few of the streets and intersections in Leamington.

I have used each of the bump outs a number of times and say “Hooray” – it’s about time that something has been done to slow down traffic, especially in residential areas, and thus safer for all, pedestrians and vehicle occupants both.

I must say that if I assume that the report is accurate, I don’t understand the councillors’ discussion about the matter. In fact, I don’t understand why it’s being discussed at all. The bump outs are doing exactly what they were built to do. Isn’t that success?

Congratulate yourself. You did something right.

The comments of councillors Wilkinson and Hammond make no sense. Of course the pinch-ins are tight for some people. That’s what they are supposed to do. It’s only the poor vehicle operators who will have problems. You notice that I called them operators, not drivers. A person who knows how to properly drive a vehicle would have no problem at all. In other words, these bump outs are a problem for those who “aim without proper control” their car rather than drive it, with all that demands.

The nature of my work prior to retiring causes me to be constantly aware of whether people are aimers or drivers. I find that in our beautiful town we have far too many aimers who show that they have no idea how to drive a vehicle. I am willing to offer that if anyone wants to check, it’s aimers that are complaining, because the bump outs won’t bother real drivers.

Yes, ask the staff to examine the effect the bump outs have had, and direct them to propose other locations where some can be installed.

Nothing common about common sense If there’s ever been a movie with a snippet of dialogue that will always be timeless, it’s one from the original Men In Black. Will Smith’s character questions why the presence of aliens on Earth has to be such a secretive, ‘hush-hush’ sort of thing. He goes so far as to suggest that “people are smart.” Tommy Lee Jones’ character (Agent K) pipes in by rectifying the statement with “A person is smart… people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals…”

I could be wrong, but I think Confucius had a comment or two about how the larger a group of people gets, the dumber that group becomes. “Mob mentality” describes the same phenomenon to a certain extent.

Maybe I’m just aging faster than I realize, but there are so many things I can’t wrap my head around as being “cool.” The Floss stands out as a perfect example. It’s not that I’m picking on today’s youth specifically… remember “The Dance?” Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous Bryan Jessop Safety too. Still, trends seem to become more and more absurd with every generation that is handed the torch of pop culture. In a nutshell, any activity with a name that ends in the word “Challenge” is probably pretty asinine. I’ve learned that there was a video for a song called “Kiki” where the singer records himself walking alongside his own car with the camera on one of the front seats with the door open. The brainwashed masses jumped at the opportunity to mimic it and the barrage of injuries and damaged vehicles ensued. No matter how frequently Darwinism strikes, the simpletons lucky enough to survive it never seem to learn.

Then there was the Tide Pod Challenge. Why? Again, I’m not targeting any specific generation. Remember the game “Chicken?” Basically, the drivers of two cars speed towards each other in what looks like an inevitable head on collision. The first driver to swerve to either side to avoid said collision (the “chicken”) loses. As far as I’m aware, it’s occurred intermittently since the 1950s. Probably not a popular game among MENSA members.

Presently, it’s trendy to enter a store and orally contaminate a random product. It started with licking ice cream and putting it back and has since devolved to gargling mouthwash and spitting it back into the bottle — collectively known as “The Ice Cream Challenge.”

If I can take a moment to play the role of Captain Obvious, please check the seals on these products before you buy them or at the very least, before you use them for the first time.

Why on this Earth can’t the term “monkey see, monkey do” ever refer to people mimicking an intelligent or thoughtful action (considering the fact that monkeys rank way up there on the species’ intellectual scale)? “Hey look, Sandra got an ‘A’ in geometry! Let’s all study really hard so we can do the same next semester!” Wouldn’t that be something? We could call it the “Get Good Grades, Don’t Do Meth and Make Something of Yourself Challenge.”

Priorities seem a little out of whack when the masses don’t so much as bat an eye when a billionaire demands taxpayer dollars to build him a new stadium/arena and then those same masses become enraged as an Amber Alert goes off late at night. Earth to heartless trolls who complain about Amber Alerts — a child’s LIFE could be at stake. Sure, those alarms are startling, but they’ve also proven effective time and time again.

Some are taking their callousness a step further by calling 9-1-1 to complain about Amber Alerts. It should absolutely terrify the rest of us that these people walk our streets without professional supervision and/or guidance. There are actually human beings licensed to operate 4,000 pound motor vehicles capable of speeds exceeding 150 km/hr who think that being “inconvenienced” by a potentially life-saving alarm is a matter that takes precedence over some poor soul who’s dying of a heart attack or is trapped inside a burning building.

By now, it should be common knowledge that 9-1-1 is for emergency purposes only. Maniac brandishing a machete running around your neighbourhood? By all means, call 9-1-1.

Local convenience store ran out of cherry slushies? Do NOT call 9-1-1. Give grape a try.

Memories of...

Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time George Coghill appears to be fall ploughing this clover crop in preparation for corn planting the following spring. Before the development of chemical fertilizers, it was essential to include nitrogen-fixing leguminous crops, such as clover, in crop rotation to maintain soil fertility and structure. The fibrous clover roots helped prevent the soil from becoming dense and compacted, while the nitrogen supplied essential nutrient for nitrogen-hungry corn. Mr. Coghill is driving a ca. 1919 Fordson.

July 1999 - The paving of Erie Street South in Leamington caused some headaches for motorists, but it was accomplished before the tomato season started. Progress on the roadway in front of the Heinz factory is seen here.

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, Summer 1989 Bill “The Prospector” Derbyshire was one of many local anglers who enjoyed catching their limit on the weekend, not far from Wheatley Harbour.

The term “Dog Days of Summer” certainly doesn’t apply in the Wheatley area where the walleye fishing has been great for the past month.

Wheatley’s Jeff Charko, one of the district’s top golfers, held off all challengers to capture the second annual Jack Stein Memorial Invitational.

Keith Stein, left, was on hand to extend congratulations to Jeff, upon winning a rocker/ recliner chair along with the right to have his name engraved on the coveted Stein Memorial Trophy.

Born and raised in Leamington, George decided to put her own professional advice and observations as a physiotherapist on paper starting in the fall of last year. By January of 2019, she had completed writing her first book, dubbed “Communication is Care — Nine Empowering Strategies to Guide Patient Healing.” Following the editing, design and publishing process, the book was officially released in late June and has since been well received by her fellow health care providers striving to open the lines of communication with their patients.

As of its June 26 release date, Communication is Care achieved best seller Local author Jennifer George pens book “Communication is Care.”

BBQ & Camping Gear The Wheatley Ministerial Community Worship Service and potluck picnic was held July 7 at Two Creeks Conservation Area.

(Submitted Photo)

Community Worship Service at Two Creeks Conservation WHEATLEY – The Two Creeks Conservation Area pavilion was the setting for the Wheatley Ministerial Community Worship Service held on July 7.

Approximately 100 people came to worship together. The natural setting made for a beautiful backdrop for the folks on stage leading the crowd in song and word.

Music teams from The Hope Center and Cottam United Church provided musical leadership. The service was

followed up with a potluck picnic lunch.

The first-ever Wheatley Ministerial Vacation Bible School wound up on July 11 after a fun-filled week of activities. The event was hosted at Wheatley Baptist Church every evening from July 8 through July 11.

Twenty-two children participated.

The project provided a wonderful opportunity for three congregations to work together on a project.

The VBS theme was “Ship Wrecked – Rescued by Jesus” and each evening a new tropical character was introduced to the children.

Pastor Nicole from The Hope Centre led the castaways in song, including some very active action songs, and Pastor Matt led theme-related games. Pastor Dave, Wheatley Baptist Church, led storytime. Each evening he read a different Bible story that spoke to how Jesus rescues us from

our worry and struggle.

Pastor John from Wheatley United and his wife Marlene reinforced the stories with theme-related crafts and science activities.

A tropical treat was served each evening at snack time. Volunteers from all three congregations helped serve up these treats and pitched in where helping hands were needed.

Ken Hatt will be worship leader on July 28 at Wheatley United Church.

Voice opinion on Kingsville Master Plan for Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture KINGSVILLE – To help Kingsville plan for the future, the town has updated its Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture Master Plan.

“Maintaining a healthy balance between life, work and play is a key goal for our municipality,” said Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos. “Our overall success in reaching this goal can only be accomplished by engaging and inviting our residents, community groups, athletic associations and user groups along with our creative arts and cultural sectors to participate in this important update and vital master plan.”

The draft Master Plan identifies park and facility improvements, enhanced programs and services, and suggestions for working with the community to achieve common goals. The

plan has been shaped by input from the many residents and stakeholders that helped to identify local needs and priorities through surveys and input sessions last fall.

Residents were invited to attend a Public Information Session to provide their

Unleashing the economic potential of Ontario’s beverage alcohol sector Ontario Chamber Network recommends a comprehensive approach to alcohol reform LEAMINGTON – On Monday, July 22, the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce and Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) released a new report, Refreshing the Sale of Beverage Alcohol in Ontario. This report outlines how the province could modernize the sale and distribution of beverage alcohol and responsibly promote growth across all four categories – wine, beer, spirits, and cider.

“Ontarians want to see a more modern, convenient beverage alcohol retail system and we are closer than ever to substantive reforms to how alcohol is distributed, bought and sold in Ontario,” says Rocco Rossi, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

The report finds that, despite public support for modernization, reform is a more complex undertaking than it appears at first glance, due to the complexity of legislation and regulation involved.

As the government proceeds with reforms to beverage alcohol sales, the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce and OCC under-

score the need for a comprehensive approach to avoid perpetuating inequities in the taxation and regulation of wine, beer, cider, and spirits that limit growth.

“By removing barriers and leveling the playing field, the province can unleash the potential of the beverage alcohol sector, support regional economic development, meet the needs of today’s consumer, and generate greater tax revenue to fund the public services on which Ontarians rely,” said Rossi.

Refreshing the Sale of Beverage Alcohol in Ontario provides the Government of Ontario with a number of timely recommendations including: • Modernizing the sale of beverage alcohol by allowing beverage alcohol producers to sell their products on e-commerce marketplaces and platforms using third parties to process payments.

• Alleviating tax burdens by reducing taxes on Ontario wines, aligning taxation levels for craft cider with those of craft beer, and applying a graduated tax to the current spirits basic tax.

• Cutting red tape by reducing the reporting Ontario wineries and cideries have to complete from a monthly to quarterly basis, allowing Ontario spirits and craft beer producers with a retail store to sell their products at farmers’ markets, and providing airports with an exemption to allow for the sale of alcohol 24-hours-a-day.

• Removing antiquated inter-provincial trade barriers by allowing consumers to purchase alcohol online from other provinces/territories and producers to deliver these products to the consumer’s home.

“The power of the beverage alcohol sector to be a force for economic growth extends beyond just the expected industries,” said Wendy Parsons, General Manager, Leamington District Chamber of Commerce.

“The production, distribution, and sale of alcohol has a ripple effect that benefits agriculture, tourism and hospitality and retail in all corners of the province.

Two Creeks presents Liverpool Echo WHEATLEY – Two Creeks Summer Concert Series will present Liverpool Echo this Sunday, July 28. Decked out in vintage gear, this “fab” band delivers an authentic and unmistakable Beatles’ sound for your enjoyment.

The music starts at 6 p.m. with special opening guest artist Justin James Jewell of Belle River. Liverpool Echo takes the stage at 6:30 pm.

This is a free event, but the hat is passed for donations to help offset the cost of the performers and the maintenance of this beautiful natural amphitheatre, park and trail system.

In case of inclement weather, the show moves into the covered pavilion.

The Comber Scouts will be selling hotdogs and refreshments. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and settle in for an evening of iconic “Fab Four.”

Two Creeks Conservation Area is located on Kent Rd. 1, one km north of Wheatley.

Progs golf report I hope all the golfers in the county are loving the heat and humidity. I saw a Florida license plate in town and thought it must feel the same down there.

If they were here to escape, they made a mistake.

The heat does help the ball to go further on one’s drives. That would hold true, except for Carl Grossi.

Last Tuesday, July 16 at Erie Shores Golf Club, Carl topped many of his drives, where they rolled out to 75 to 100 yards. Based on an old TV show, I thought “Topper” would be a nice

new handle for Carl.

Richard Reive will probably claim the shot of the year and maybe a lifetime.

The odds of this happening are miniscule. Richard pulled his second shot on #8, ending up 30 feet from the green. While his playing partners were searching for a ball, Richard lofted the ball high. Had the pin not been in the hole, the ball would have plopped directly into the hole. As luck would have it, the ball landed squarely on the top of the flagstick, bounding 15 feet away.

Leisure Lake Car Show A 1973 Chevrolet Nova with custom paint job catches the attention of visitors of all ages during the annual Leisure Lake Car Show Saturday, July 20. About 50 classic and custom vehicle owners braved the weekend’s heat to attend the public event, which included a 50/50 draw to benefit March of Dimes. Concessions from the mostly volunteer-run event offset the costs of the show with surplus funds set aside to run youth events at the facility. The car show, cancelled last year because of rain, is one of Leisure Lake’s largest public events of the year.

Rookie Lakers take second in London The Leamington Lakers Rookie Major travel baseball team took part in the annual London Tecumseh’s Baseball Tournament July 19-21. The tournament hosted 18 teams in the Rookie division.

The Rookie Lakers completed round robin with a 3-0 record despite the extreme humidity and poor weather conditions.

In the first game, despite a slow start, the Rookie Lakers were able to overpower the Waterdown Wolves 14-7.

The second game pitted the Lakers against the Mitchell Astros. The Lakers again stumbled out of the gate and found themselves quickly down seven runs due to a very sloppy first inning. In what has been the Rookie Lakers’ trademark fashion though, they were able to rally back and win the game 15-11.

Due to the weather conditions, the Lakers final pool game put them against the AAA Halton Hills Eagles in an elimination matchup. The Lakers were able to put together a total team effort and knock out the previously undefeated Eagles 6-5.

In the semi-final round, the Lakers faced off versus another undefeated squad, the St. Thomas Cardinals. The Cardinals had earned their spot in the semis by winning all their previous games by mercy. The Lakers remained unfazed despite a back and forth emotionally charged game and took out the Cardinals 12-11.

The win placed the Lakers in the finals against a familiar foe in the LaSalle Titans. Again, a sloppy start to the game had the Rookies in an early hole. Despite a resilient effort, the heat caught up with the Lakers as they dropped their only game to take second place in the tournament.

In three tournaments thus far, the Rookies have made the finals all three times, taking one gold and two silvers. They hope to be clicking on all cylinders as the final month of the season and the OBA tournament approach.

The Leamington Rookie Lakers took second in the annual London Tecumseh Baseball Tournament held July 19-21. Team members are, front row, left to right: Jonathan Grundner, AJ Youssef, Owen Derksen, Jackson Wall. Middle row: Kayden Cook, Issak Giesbrecht, Jonathan Recker, Johnny Giesbrecht, Kevin Wall, Ben Liebrock, Isaiah Georges. Back row: Coach Tony Youssef, coach John Giesbrecht, head coach Ryan Derksen, coach Bob Grundner, coach Kevin Cook, coach Ryan Georges.

Major Mosquitos take part in London tourney This past weekend was a busy one for the Leamington Lakers Major Mosquitoes, sponsored by Leamington Chevy-Buick-GMC, as they took part in the London Tecumseh Tournament.

Unfortunately, Friday’s game was rained out, so onto an early Saturday morning when the Lakers faced the Ingersoll Ironbirds.

The boys were off to a slow start and after two innings found themselves five runs down due to some good Ingersoll hitting and errors in the field. Grant Symons came in to pitch five innings and steady the ship in an MVP of the game performance, with Chris Joseph and Matthew Giesbrecht also contributing to the pitching effort.

After a scoreless third, the Lakers’ bats woke up and two runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth inning each saw the Lakers move into the lead heading into the final inning.

Doubles from Josh Joseph and Kurtis Joseph and RBIs from Zack Liebrock led the

charge. Unfortunately, Ingersoll replied in the seventh with three runs and the Lakers lost the game 8-6.

Saturday afternoon, in the stifling heat, the Lakers faced the North London Nationals.

Both teams scored three in the first inning in a high-scoring affair. The Lakers briefly led after two innings, 4-3, before the Nationals scored four runs in the third to the Lakers two. Max Carr and Liebrock hit triples, Carr going 3-for3 at bat in an MVP performance, with Owen Deneau also adding an RBI of his own, but it was not enough.

The Nationals added one more run for good measure in the final inning for a score of 9-7 despite the Lakers having more hits.

Sunday morning was Friday’s postponed game against the Waterloo Tigers. In spite of the two losses, the Lakers were still in with a chance of making the semi-finals with a win and other results going their way.

Rhys Tipper took the

mound in a high-pressure game and was soon in the groove. He pitched four and two-thirds innings before he exhausted his pitch count.

Unfortunately, the errors in the field briefly returned and at the halfway stage it was tied at three apiece. Doubles from Noah Friesen and J. Joseph, RBIs from Giesbrecht and Symons, and hits from K. Joseph and Trent Szorvas helped the Lakers and kept the scoreboard ticking over with runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.

Carter Chorba was relief pitcher for the last two innings in an MVP performance.

Waterloo scored a run in the sixth to close the gap to one, but a scoreless seventh inning saw the boys win a tense game 5-4.

Having done their part, unfortunately results did not go their way and a drive home was all that awaited them.

Ultimately it was inches and near misses that cost them, but that’s baseball.

Erie Shores senior golfers play Wolf Sixty-one golfers on the senior men’s league teed up on July 15 for a fun day of Wolf at Erie Shores Golf Club. The game works this way: you take the low net score for the scheduled wolf on each hole plus the low net from one of the other three golfers.

The winning team with a score of 124 was Natan Caratanasov, Ron Tiessen, Peter Harb and Keith Brown. In second place at 125 were Roger Hodgson, Bill Conn, Alden Warner and Paul Pringle. In third at 130 were Lloyd Owens, Norm Beattie, Frank Dick and Don Mensch. In fourth place, also at 130 but through retrogression, were Scott Maxwell, Ron Koop, Greg Gare and Bill Gherasim.

The 50/50 winners were Kirk Bowman and Earl Dunmore. Closest to the pin on #3 was Guy McIntyre and on #16 Peter Harb. The longest putt on #2 was made by Bill Conn and on #12 by Kirk Bowman.

Three golfers managed to break 80. Jamie Arquette and Ron Tiessen each came in with 78, low for the day. Richard Reive followed closely at 79.

Ron Tiessen had the most birds with three on #1, #9 and #14. Keith Brown birdied #4 and #6. Single birds went to Ron Koop on #1, Gary McRae, Garth Dennerley and Alden Warner on #2, Ron Tremblay on #4, Barry Miller #6, Tom Bondy #9, Bob Kavanaugh #11, Don Mensch #12, Ed Krahn and Norm Beattie #15.

Talbot Trail senior golfers enjoy scramble Sixty-seven Talbot Trail Golf Club’s senior golfers enjoyed beautiful weather and excellent course conditions for their second scramble on July 16.

Len Snively hit an impressive shot in to the wind on #7 to win closest to the pin. He earned T5G1 $10 gift cards. Wiz fired a dazzling shot to within a few feet of the pin on #9 to capture closest to the pin for T3G1. A spectacular 40-foot putt was drained by Herb Reid. This gave T1G3 $5 each. For their personal efforts Len, Wiz and Herb also each received a sleeve of white spheres.

A tie of five under 31s by T3G2 and T5G1 was settled by a coin draw. The winners ended up being T3G2: Tim Stevenson, Ray la Pierre, Fred Michano, Dan Tymec and Walter Balsam. Each player received two sleeves of golf balls. T5G1 players who received four white spheres were: Gerry Becigneul, Bob Scott, Len Snively, Jamie Arquette and Bobo.

Third and fourth place went to T6G1 and T5G2 respectively, who tied with terrific 32s. Third place players received a sleeve of balls, while fourth place players merited two golf balls.

The teams were very well balanced as no team shot over par.

The most honest team, T3G1, scored a superb 36.

Each player received two golf balls.

A series of scramble league draws were done. Two lucky recipients each won $70 TT gift cards. Other draw winners received gift cards of $25, $20, $15 and $10. The final draw winners received sleeves of Bridgestone golf balls with Chicago Blackhawks logos. Two green repair kits with green markers and a money holder completed the draws.

All enjoyed the jokes told by Scotty Westrop, Dan Tymec and Bobo.

League members extend personal thanks to the following people: Bummy, Dan Tymec and Doug Langlois for barbecuing; Steve Longeway for getting the recording sheets out for #2, #7 and #9; Dave Dent for doing the food order; and Ray Foster for doing the 5025-25 ticket draw sales.

Caleb and Miranda did a superb job with the various condiments and serving the very thirsty seniors.

Derek, Robert, Phil and Lloyd have kept the course in amazing condition. Members can be very proud of the Talbot Trail course.

Some past league members are presently under the weather and unable to join us. Please know that we look forward to their return in the near future.

Kingsville 18-hole ladies league enjoys Sip and Swing It’s been a scorching hot summer with some pretty cool competition.

On July 16, the Kingsville Golf and Country Club’s 18-hole ladies league had its first Sip and Swing Bramble.

Guests were invited to have some fun both on the course and afterwards with beverage tastings and a delicious taco bar. Vice-President Patty Marcus organized the day with help from generous members.

On July 2, members played Team Net Best Ball.

They played with our respective teams, recorded full handicaps for each player, and then wrote down the best net score for each hole. Here are those close results: Purple Team 55 net; Blue Team 56 net; Yellow and Red Teams each 58 net.

Over the course of the season, these teams will continue to jockey for position (go Blue!).

Over a two-week schedule, ending on June 25, members played Gross Eclectic where each golfer had the chance to better her score on each hole. The results are as follows: Silver - 1st Patty Marcus, 80, tied for 2nd - Cindy Fields and Marlene Sinclair, 81; A Flight - 1st Martha Leadman, 88, 2nd Becky Glidden, 89; B Flight - tied for

1st Shirley Jacuzzi and Mary Jo Laforet, 88; C Flight - 1st Rosalind Knight, 95, 2nd Maria Rocca, 98.

League members look forward to more sizzling action on Kingsville’s beautiful course!

July 18 was another blistering hot day for golfers in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores with the Fore Horseman team remaining in first place with their total tally of 138 points, keeping them seven points ahead of the Weapons of Grass Destruction who are still in second with 131.

The remaining four teams – the Screw Balls, Tiger Woodsmen, the A Team and Les Canadiens – have double-digit scores of 97, 92, 79 and 56.

In singles gross score play, Ryan Carder led all players with a one under par round of 34, good enough for a one stroke edge over Scott Wilkinson, Joe DiGiorgio and Ward Hutchins who shot rounds of even par 35.

Finishing at one over par 36 was a group of 10 players including Will Peters, Mike Ferreira, Darryl DiMilo, Tim Tiessen, Wray Pollock, Geoff Dunmore, Ken Cobby, Richard Lowes, Matt Taouil and Kyle Humphreys.

In the handicap division, Nick Sawatzky fired an incredible nine under par net 26, good enough for a fivestroke advantage over Robert Hudders and Wray Pollock who both had four under par net rounds of 31. Will Peters was next at net 32, while Tim Vreman, Mike Herbert, Dan Musuronchan, Matt Taouil, Joe DiGiorgio and Joe Verhoeven all finished with four under par net 33s.

1933 Chevy a nine-year home-built project Born in 1947, Bob Clark saw lots of 1933 Chevy coupes racing at the Checker Flag track near Windsor and those cars led him to the one he has today.

He worked as a mechanic for 47 years, including Essex Farmers Ford dealership in 1968 and ’69, where his future wife Jan worked in the stock room. They were married in 1970.

They were living in Woodstock when Bob first saw his Oshawa-built ’33 Chev Master coupe. Ron Howlett owned it and was modifying the frame to Bill Sherk turn it into a street rod with Bob helping him. Then Ron took ill and Bob bought the car.

In 1999, Bob and Jan moved to Essex and brought the car with them, a “basket case on a rolling chassis.” Before starting the work, Bob took out a subscription to Old Autos newspaper and has been reading it ever since.

A friend, Dick Nussey, built a new grille identical to the original, then Bob worked his way through the car. The previous owner had installed a steel roof that caused the body to warp. Bob cut the steel roof off, straightened the body and installed a ’66 Mustang roof which fits perfectly.

Bob almost removed all four fenders but when a friend from work made new running boards for the car, they fit so well that Bob chose to keep all fenders on.

Under the hood is a 305 V8 from a Chevy Blazer in Windsor bored 30 over along with high-compression pistons and other goodies. It’s bolted to a 350 three-speed automatic transmission and 3:73 rear end from a Chevelle. Up front is a Mustang II suspension.

Bob stripped an ’86 Chev Celebrity for the wiring harness, steering column, brake booster and master cylinder. The interior has seats from a Subaru in grey and red, the colours

Bob and Jan Clark’s 1933 Chevy at the 5th Annual Classic Car Show at Leamington’s Sun Parlor Home for Seniors Friday, June 14.

Bob made a video of the nine-year rebuild and gave a copy to Doug Doey, auto shop teacher at Kingsville District High School, to encourage his students to consider a career in the automotive field.

The Various Benefits of Farm-to-Table Eating

Few things are more satisfying than biting into a fresh tomato right from the garden or seasoning a meal with herbs picked from a windowsill greenhouse. Restaurants recognize the value of such experiences, and more and more are relying on locally sourced products in their kitchens.

The farm-to-table movement is not new, but it has gained momentum as consumers become increasingly enamored with the flavour and environmental impact of locally sourced foods.

Newcomers to the farm-to-table dining experience may not understand all the fuss surrounding this popular trend. The following are some of the key benefits of farm-to-table. · Peak freshness and ripeness: Local produce ripens on the plant and can be harvested at the last possible minute before it turns up on a plate. This helps ensure that it contains the highest amount of nutrients and flavor. Food that has to travel further is often picked well before it is ready, ripening on the way to stores or other vendors.

Your ce ur Local Souce & for ProdGoods Baked

· Better for the environment: Food that doesn’t need to travel far before reaching diners’ plates saves roughly 500 gallons of diesel fuel to haul produce a distance of 1,500 miles. This conserves fossil fuels and prevents harmful emissions from entering the atmosphere. · Supports local: Supporting farm-to-table restaurants and other eateries keeps business local in two different ways. It not only benefits local restaurants, but it also directly supports local farms, fisheries and other suppliers. · Accessibility to seasonal choices: Farm-totable eating provides a wide variety of in-season foods. This can translate into tastier foods because they are grown and harvested during their optimal growing season. · Learn about the community: A person might live in an area and never know that a local vineyard is in the vicinity or that a producer of straight-fromthe-hive honey is nearby. Exploring farm-to-table resources can open people’s eyes to local businesses doing great work in and around their communities.

Go Green When Spending Time Outdoors

The great outdoors beckons people year-round. But nature is especially enticing in summer, when warm weather compels people to leave their couches and soak up some sun.

Spending time outdoors is rewarding, and it can be even more so when people take steps to make their outdoor recreation as eco-friendly as possible. Whether it’s choosing certain activities or taking other measures, there are various ways to go green when spending time outdoors this summer and beyond. · Leave the car at home.

Americans and Canadians consume more gasoline per capita than any other people in the world. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the United Nations, Americans consume 4.39 litres of gasoline per capita each day, while Canadians consume 3.62 litres per capita each day.

In lieu of driving everywhere this summer, people who want to be more mindful of the environment can leave their cars home more frequently. Rather than driving the family to a nearby ice cream stand, walk or bike there instead. Run as many errands on foot or on a bicycle as possible. Walking or cycling is a great way to get some time outdoors on warm summer days, and reducing fuel consumption is an equally great way to help the planet.

· Vacation locally. Another way to help the planet when spending time outdoors this summer is to vacation locally.

People who vacation close to home typically do not fly, and that’s a significant benefit to the planet. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that aviation emissions release black carbon, nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide, which contribute to the greenhouse gas effect.

And while the EIA notes that automobiles and airplanes produce relatively similar amounts of carbon dioxide per gallon, airplanes burn considerably more fuel than cars, thanks in large part to the considerable amount of fuel planes burn on the runway. By vacationing locally, outdoor enthusiasts can reduce their reliance on airplanes, thereby reducing the effects those airplanes have on the environment.

· Embrace eco-friendly activities. Various activities, from organic gardening to planting trees to beach cleanups, provide a great way to get outdoors and help the planet at the same time. People who grow their own vegetables can take solace knowing that the vegetables they’re eating each night did not require the depletion of any natural resources to go from garden to table. Signing up for beach cleanups can prevent trash, including harmful plastics, from making its way into the world’s oceans, and such cleanups provide a great excuse to go to the beach. · Volunteer to help with a local cleanup. Many parks and environmental organizations offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to individuals who enjoy the great outdoors and are interested in protecting their local and national parks.

Point Pelee National Park – Beach Clean Up Help park staff clean up the garbage washed up on the beach. Participants receive free entry to the park for the day. No registration is required. Bring a reusable mug and water bottle, and any food or snacks you need. Wear protective clothing: work gloves, long pants, long sleeves, sun hat, closed-toed shoes and sunscreen.

(NC) As a hot-spot for gathering, entertaining

and relaxing with friends and family throughout the warm-weather season, backyards are an extension of our favourite living spaces, similar to living rooms and kitchens. Here are three tips for creating an inviting backyard that you won’t want to leave: • Ambient accessories. There’s nothing better than enjoying a relaxing evening outdoors on a warm summer night. Outdoor accessories that illuminate your backyard with light – like lanterns, stringed mini-lights and fire pits – are fun and easy ways to set the mood and create a tranquil and ambient space.

• Serene stains. Neutral-hued colour palettes like beige, grey and brown are typically a go-to for interior home design and are quickly becoming more on-trend in outdoor living spaces. Natural-inspired hues can transform a backyard into a calm and serene setting while pairing nicely with many exterior home fixings like brick, stucco and shingles.

• Fresh foliage. Complement the serene look and feel of your backyard with lush and leafy plants. Mixing different types of plants that vary in height, texture and width will add depth to the space and further enhance your outdoor oasis.
