Large crowd hears about impact of proposed changes to Regulation 440

By Bill Chaplin It was standing room only at the town hall meeting held July 25 at Leamington Council Chambers.

The meeting was called by Chatham-Kent Essex MPP Rick Nicholls to offer local farmers information about proposed changes to Regulation 440 and an opportunity to express their opinions on the matter.

Nicholls expressed the opinion that proper consultation has not been done and that this was his opportunity to address that. There is a board that regulates the marketing of processing vegetables in Ontario. Recently, there has been a proposal to amend this practice to move to a “free market” — unregulated — system. To say this has farmers concerned is an understatement: they are frantic because of what has happened in other jurisdictions when this type of change has been instituted.

To help understand what the concern is, let me refer to the controlling legislation: the Farm Products Marketing Act. Its statement of purpose indicates its importance: “The purpose of this Act is to provide for the control and regulation in any or all aspects of the producing and market-

By Bryan Jessop Interaction between two people familiar with what makes Leamington tick will allow people living and working there to interact with people who are not so familiar with the community.

The Municipality of Leamington officially announced a new Cultural Sensitivity Training program in its office main lobby Wednesday, July 20 before a crowd of guests representing a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

The program has been launched as a joint effort between the municipality and the South Essex Community Council, the latter of which has trained members of its staff to train local business, service and social representatives on how to interact with the community’s immigrant population.

The idea behind the CST program began with a series of conversations between the SECC’s executive director Carolyn Warkentin and Leamington’s economic development officer Janine Lassaline-Berglund. The discussions steadily developed into the training program that has already involved staff and students from local elementary and secondary schools.

The program is free of charge to all trainees, with training sessions that can take place at the SECC on Talbot Street East or at the site of where trainees are employed or regularly situated. Funding for the initiative is provided by the federal government’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada department.

With the employees of many workplaces taking time off for vacations and holidays throughout the summer, Warkentin explained that the SECC expects to see the number of training sessions ramp up starting in the fall of this year.

“We hope that through word of mouth on the program we’ll see a sort of snowball effect,” she said. “It’s part of our mandate — advocating for the facilitation of a welcoming community for the people we serve.”

Businesses, workplaces and other organizations can select any or all of four modules that are available within the Cultural Sensitivity Training process. The first module is based on an introduction to cultural diversity in Canada, highlighting current trends and backgrounds throughout the community and nation. The second module concentrates on specifically what diversity is and why it is important to self-asses how the trainee’s organization handles its cultural surroundings.

The training program’s third phase identifies personal biases and how it affects a group’s or individual’s relationship with local immigrants and refugees. The third module also addresses how to fix the problems created by those biases. The fourth and final module is based on leadership and a workplace cultural competency audit.

Sessions that involve all four modules will take one day to complete while a single module will involve approximately three hours and two will take roughly half a day.

Warkentin and other SECC representatives are planning to create window stickers for groups that take part in the training program, brandishing the statement “Culturally Competent Workplace” or words to that effect.

“At the end of the workshop, we’re looking to have people walk out with a plan in place to make their business or organization culturally competent,” Warkentin noted.

Groups that have already signed on for training include the staff of the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, Leamington Fire Services, OPP, municipal office employees, LDMH and Switzer-Carty, which stepped up to become a partner in the initiative.

In total, about a quarter of the municipality’s staff will take part in the program.

“We want the schedule (for training) to be flexible to avoid interrupting work flow,” Lassaline-Berglund said.

“If we take away the constraints, more people will be able to get involved.”

Music and math - a puzzling app...?

By Pat Bailey It began in the old Leamington neighbourhood — hockey sticks in hand.

What began as a friendship that evolved out of two little boys sharing a passion for hockey has developed into a friendship that transcends Canada’s favourite sport.

They are not only friends, but they have both become teachers with a passion for engaging their students.

Despite being separated by hundreds of miles, Shane Romualdi, 24, and Evan Alderson, 26, have managed to remain good friends and are now budding business partners.

Romualdi still lives in the area and will be teaching at E.J. Lajuenesse in the fall, and Alderson, who now calls Ottawa home and continues to supply for that local school board, reunite each summer.

And this summer they’re on a mission — a mission to turn their puzzling idea into a mobile app.

Alderson is the mathematical genius behind this concept, while Romualdi brings his knowledge of music and public relations savvy into this partnership.

Their idea brings rhythm and ’ritmetic together in a fun attempt to engage students while testing their combined knowledge of mathematical notations and song titles. It also helps students hone their own problem-solving skills.

Alderson said he came up with the idea a few years ago. He came up with several song categories, combined their titles with mathematical symbols and added a few words as clues — and voila, ‘Solve for Songs’ was borne.

He then put his idea to the test with one of the most honest and critical groups, his teenaged math students.

Teachers Evan Alderson (left) and Shane Romualdi have come up with a prospective app that combines music and math. They are hoping to find someone who sees the educational potential in their concept and is willing to develop it into an app.

As a result, according to Alderson, he noticed that he was able to engage students who previously seemed disinterested in the class. He admits it wasn’t an overwhelming majority, but said the results were certainly encouraging.

“I’d say at least 50 per cent were interested,” he said. And in a high school setting, he said, he considered that a success.

In fact, Alderson said he has even taken his puzzling game out of the classroom, letting students loose on a scavenger hunt of sorts throughout the school — that too, showed tremendous promise.

He said not only did it attract senior students, but all grades became involved on a rather level playing field.

Alderson was encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by his students but wanted to take it a step further, so he contacted his old friend Shane Romualdi for his input and assistance.

Admittedly, Alderson is not a music aficionado and prefers to remain in the background when it comes to promotion and public relations, where Romualdi shines.

Romualdi thought Alderson’s concept was brilliant.

A relatively new teacher, with just a year of teaching under his belt, Romualdi is excited about educating his students and is always looking for new ways to make learning fun and motivate them further.

“Student engagement is at the forefront of education,” said Romualdi, and he certainly sees tremendous promise in his friend’s idea. While math is not Romualdi’s strength, he said working with Alderson has already improved his own math skills and comfort level, which he feels is certainly an indicator of its potential.

“I’m not saying it will teach you how to solve a quadratic equation,” said Alderson, “but it will certainly make you more comfortable with the (mathematical) language.”

He said they currently have about 2,000 songs, translated to mathematical code clues, and are planning on publishing a puzzle book to showcase the idea.

One example of one their more simple puzzles is: Artist: The Beatles Clue: Today-1 Answer: Yesterday They have already hooked up with an education-based program, ‘Knowledge Hook’, that is a software program that helps teachers improve math outcomes.

He said they present a clue each week through the Twitter account and provide the correct answer each Friday.

The duo hopes it will capture the interest of someone willing to turn the concept into a mobile app.

“We’re just not capable of developing the app ourselves,” said Romualdi. But he said he believes ‘Solve for Songs’ is a unique idea that “brings something totally new” to the forefront.

They know there’s certainly a learning curve for them as well, when it comes to trying to market their product, but said they believe in their product and its educational value.

They also know that as long as musicians continue to write songs, there will be an endless amount of material to update their game and keep it current.

The Southpoint Sun - 3

Large crowd hears about impact of proposed changes to Regulation 440 (Continued from Front) Ontario of farm products including the prohibition of such producing or marketing in whole or in part.”

In this legislation, the key player is the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission, established under the authority of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Act. This commission is given all authority to “investigate, adjust or otherwise settle any dispute relating to the marketing of a regulated product between producers and persons engaged in marketing or processing the regulated product”.

The commission delegates its authority to individual marketing boards. Basically, you name a farm product, and there is a regulation under the Farm Products Marketing Act that creates a board to govern and regulate its marketing.

Monday’s meeting was about Regulation 440: vegetables for processing. That includes such local products as tomatoes, as well as beans, cucumbers and other perishables. Established in Regulation 440, the simple explanation is that the marketing board negotiates a collective bargain with processers for a farm gate price to ensure a reasonable price for produce.

The wording of the proposal for change is not very transparent: “The Commission is proposing to amend Regulation 440 to remove the provisions establishing negotiating agencies and to add provisions establishing an industry advisory committee.” The advisory also includes another red flag to farms: “…modernizing how prices between growers and processors are established or negotiated and the role of the industry and board in that, by moving to a free market system.”

One background piece of information mentioned a problem in competitiveness: “in tomatoes, California — they grow 13 million tons and we do 500 thousand tons”. Another was currency: many major buyers are American, and they object to the uncertainty of buying product in Canadian dollars and then having to sell in American dollars. The fear is without local specialist marketing boards there is no ability to collectively negotiate in the context of local producers and processers.

Unfortunately most of the farmers present were desperate for answers, and so were reluctant to speak in public. They needed to know if the plan was to destroy small farmers, or to destroy collective bargaining — it seemed to almost all that this move was one or the other.

One of the speakers was David Epp, who was both knowledgeable and passionate. He was concerned about both the brevity of the comment period and the ramifications of the dismantling of the marketing system. Paul Thiessen was concerned about the lack of transparency of the government proposal: he mentioned, “Sure, there may be a need for tweaking, but not for dismantling a democratic system”.

Tom Dick wondered why there was no vegetable producer on the commission discussing the changes.

The chair of the vegetable marketing board was present to let farmers know that the board is available but has not been invited to ‘sit at the table’ to discuss the proposed changes, whatever they may be. He characterized the commission’s communication so far as “very poor.” His comments included admitting frustration and surprise.

A grower from Dresden commented that when you pit producers against one another you will lead to the downfall of a system. A subsequent comment indicated that when you suddenly deregulate without a plan you invite disaster.

The meeting was a sharing of ideas: what can we do? For example, there was agreement to let as many associations and parliamentarians as possible know about their fears. (“Don’t send

form letters; they go into a black hole and nobody knows where they end up.” “Try hand writing a short letter from your heart and copy it to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, media outlets, and lots of politicians.”)

The biggest questions, though, there were no answers to: Why is the commission tinkering with something that isn’t broken? If there are problems, why isn’t the marketing board invited to negotiate a resolution? Why are there only

In search of the 105 mph fastball Boy, the game of baseball has really changed.

To the casual fan, it still looks the same as it did years ago.

To the non-fan, it still seems as boring as it ever was.

To us baseball traditionalists, the changes are glaring.

I’m going to start with all of those new-fangled metric statistics (insert old man joke here).

Since the onslaught of the new analytics, stats have become the major factor in determining whether a player can play the game or not.

Now, being an old stats guy myself, I can see where a certain amount of stats can be helpful.

A player with a higher batting average is generally a good player. If someone is batting .152, they won’t keep a job very long. If they’ve hit 30 homeruns, they are considered a power hitter. If a pitcher has a low E.R.A., they are usually a pretty darn good pitcher.

So now we add in WHIP, WAR, WRC+, ISO, wOBA and the likes. Who can really keep track of that, and who wants to?

I saw a post on social media a few weeks ago, where someone was making a pitch (no pun intended) for former Tigers reliever John Hiller to be in the Hall of Fame.

They posted that Hiller’s WHIP and WAR were on par with those of Rollie Fingers and Dennis Eckersley and he should be inducted based on those advanced stats.

While I agree that Hiller was a phenomenal pitcher and one of the greatest relief pitchers of our time, I wondered how these brand new advanced stats were applied to players who have long been retired.

I suppose you can go back and apply anything to anyone.

It just irks me that these newfangled stats are quoted as a reason to include someone in the hall.

It’s like apples and oranges, really. I made a comment that comparing Hiller’s WAR was like saying that Babe Ruth had the best cell phone plan in the majors. It just doesn’t fit.

Sure, if they want to say that Miguel Cabrera and Josh Donaldson have all of these wonderful stats available to them, so be it. But please leave the old guys alone.

Further evidence that the game has changed is the propensity for pitchers to get hurt or be shut down for the remainder of the season.

Guys who pitched years ago, who were in a lot worse physical condition (think Mickey Lolich) than today’s athletes, managed to throw up to 20 complete games a season

without any complications.

MARK To me, it’s the RIBBLE never-ending quest for velocity that puts these pitchers Rib’s at risk.

Ramblings And it’s not just their arms.

Countless times a season, we hear about a pitcher taking a line drive off the noggin.

While I’m sure it happened in the old days, it didn’t happen at the alarming rate it happens now.

Back in the day, I had a few good, old-fashioned coaches in Bob Wiper, Lew Webster and my dad, Carl.

Lew taught me his slider, and although I never really mastered that pitch, it made me realize that just throwing a fastball by somebody wasn’t always the answer. Anyone who saw my fastball knew right away that it wasn’t going to overwhelm any hitters. I think Lew knew that and he encouraged me to develop some ‘junk’ in my repertoire.

We were all taught to release the ball and follow through so that you ended up square to the batter and in a position to field a ball that came back through the pitcher’s box.

If you look at old baseball cards, almost every pitcher is photographed in the fielding position, poised to catch anything coming back their way.

If you watch old footage, the same thing applies.

Today, pitchers, in their quest to get as much speed on the ball as possible, end up bent over and turned away from the batter after their pitches. This makes them vulnerable to line drives and comebackers.

Two things can happen: a devastating injury, or a single up the middle that should have been an out.

The pampering of pitchers continues in the game we see today, mostly because of the monstrous salaries they demand. The clubs are just protecting their investment, I guess.

They don’t want their pitchers making fielding plays.

But I long for the days when Bob Gibson and Jim Palmer were routinely snagging line drives and hot ground balls hit back through the middle.

Event shows off what our local wine-growing region has to offer Please submit wine-related questions for publication and I will also share my experiences with local wines.

You can reach me at grapeaspirations@gmail.com and on Twitter at @gr8grapz.

Aside from my visits to local wineries, I very much look forward to opportunities to get together with other wine and food aficionados to celebrate the local bounty and explore and discover new treasures.

In June, I had the opportunity to participate in one such event. Ten local wineries gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit for an EPIC event. Representatives from Viewpointe Estate Winery, Cooper’s Hawk Vineyards, Oxley Estate Winery, Mastronardi Estate Winery, North 42 Degrees Estate Winery, Colio Estate Winery, Pelee Island Winery, Muscedere Vineyards, Colchester Ridge Estate Winery, and Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery gathered together for the evening to introduce some of the best of our local wines to residents of Detroit and the surrounding area. Each winery was only allowed to bring four wines, so each took the wines that they deemed to be the most representative of their winery.

The event, the first of what I hope will be many, was attended by about 60 people. I did manage to speak with about half of them and the consensus was that the wines were excellent and they looked forward to coming to this side of the river/lake to get a better appreciation for not

only the rest of the wineries and CARMEN all of the wines DANNER offered but all that the area has to offer.

Let’s Wine A number of people exTogether pressed surprise at the fact that we are roughly an hour from Detroit whereas they drive three to four hours to reach Michigan’s main wine region, in the northern peninsula, so this is a significant advantage for us.

We have a lot to be proud of in this amazing region that I so proudly call home. Nature’s bounty is infinite and we have so much to share with others. This event was a wonderful opportunity for us to show just some of what we have to offer. If the initial reactions are any indication, we’ve piqued the interest of our nearest-neighbouring wine producing region. Game on!

If you have friends or family visiting this summer from other areas or other countries, I encourage you to take them out to explore the region’s bounty – farmers’ markets, shops, restaurants, microbreweries, and of course wineries… or plan a “staycation” of your own and take a few days to explore them for yourself!

Freedom Run coming to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop The local effort to protect basic human rights is becoming a case of all for ‘One’ and ‘One’ for all.

In recognition of July 30 as the United Nations’ World Day Against Human Trafficking, Leamington will be the host of the second annual Freedom Run, a five-kilometre run/walk starting at the Leamington Marina promenade that same day. With no pre-registration required, entries “There’s no can begin signing specific number up at 7:30 a.m. we’re trying to get near the prometo in raising money. nade that morning, What we really want where each parto do is spread awareticipant can also ness of the fact that pay the $20 entry this is happening in fee. The walk and our area.” run will begin at 9 a.m.

— ONE Leamington Proceeds will chairperson be raised through registration and individual donations made just prior to, during and immediately following the event. Funds generated will be split between two like-minded causes — the local organization ONE Leamington and the international Exodus Road. Both groups were founded with the objective of locating and rescuing the victims of slavery and human trafficking. ONE Leamington was created in 2012 and since October of last year, has helped re-establish seven victims of human trafficking and exploitation.

“It’s a very sensitive situation for victims,” explained the chairperson of ONE, who requested anonymity to protect the identies and locations of the organization’s clients.

“Many don’t want to talk to the media, eventually disappear or their trafficker is still at large. It’s difficult for someone who’s gone through trauma like that.”

ONE Leamington has in part been supported through a grant by the Kindred Credit Union, formerly known as the Mennonite Savings Credit Union. Many rescues begin with locating and talking to victims on the streets, followed by

referrals between organizations such as ONE, Kingsvillebased ACCESS and We Fight, a Windsor-based group that assists human trafficking victims through court cases.

ONE’s chairperson explained that the group is currently focusing on providing more post-experience care for its clients, which in the past have included exploited migrant workers.

Participants for this year’s Freedom Run are encouraged to dress up as superheroes as part of the theme to what organizers hope will become an annual fundraiser.

“Anyone can be a superhero when they’re participating in the freeing of another human being,” the ONE chairperson explained. “There’s no specific number we’re trying to get to in raising money. What we really want to do is spread awareness of the fact that this is happening in our area.”

The idea for Freedom Run began last year when Susan Redekop embarked on the 42-kilometre journey from Leamington to Windsor as an awareness campaign to local human trafficking. Redekop approached the chairperson of ONE with the idea of making the run a community-wide event for following years and from there went on to map out the five-kilometre course that participants will travel on July 30.

Exodus Road has also had Did You Know... local ties in the past. David WE DO ALL Zach of the band Remedy TYPES OF Drive — which has performed at Full Gospel Tabernacle Church on Talbot business cards Street East — represented flyers and invoices the organization on a mistickets and invitations sion to southeast Asia to brochures help free victims of forced commercial prostitution.

Hike completes TPA project

By Bryan Jessop Hike Metal Products has released “The Guppy.”

The Wheatley-based shipbuilder has completed its first tugboat project in more than half a decade with the creation of a customized order from the Toronto Port Authority.

The 19.8 metre-long icebreaking tugboat dubbed “The Iron Guppy” was sent to Toronto Harbour Monday, July 18 and arrived at its home the following evening. Construction began in early December of last year and wrapped up with dock and sea trial testing in Lake Erie waters near Wheatley Harbour during the week prior to delivery.

As many as 15 of Hike Metal’s 24 employees were working on the icebreaker tug simultaneously. Machinery was placed in the boat after completion of the one-piece hull, which was then joined to the superstructure. The final stages of construction included a considerable amount of fine tuning.

“There’s a lot of alignment to do once the engine is in,” noted Hike Metal president and CEO Andy Stanton. “We build this sort of boat once in a while, but it’s not common.”

The engine Stanton referred to is a 750 horsepower, six-cylinder diesel mill dubbed the Cummins QSM11M capable of bringing the 120 ton vessel up to speeds of about 9.5 knots or 17.5 km/hr. Categorized as a Class C Zero vessel, the Iron Guppy can continually break through ice up to six inches thick and up to 12 inches using a ramming effect.

Although it isn’t equipped with sleeping quarters, the boat can accommodate a crew of six with a mess area and changing area below deck.

The Iron Guppy was built for year-round usage and will assist with moving barges for dredging and other purposes including ship berthing.

The Toronto Port Authority named the vessel through a competition open to students of local schools. The most recent project Hike Metal built for the TPA prior to the Iron Guppy was a pair of car and passenger ferries used to transport people from the mainland to Toronto Island’s Bishop Airport.

The most recent tug built by Hike was sent to the Chicago Fire Department in April of 2011. The vessel was dubbed the Christopher Wheatley, named in honour of a Chicago firefighter who died in active duty in August of 2010. The larger boat can continuously break through 12 inches of ice and was designed to navigate through shallow waters and under low bridges.

Hike Metal has a five- to six-year project ahead of it with a federal government job where it will construct six Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue vessels with the potential to add three more. The project, valued at $43 million, was officially announced

by Chatham-Kent-Essex MP Dave Van Kesteren just over a year ago.

Local rodeo approaching 15th year

A contestant in the steer wrestling event grabs hold of his target as he dismounts from his horse during the 13th annual Sun Parlour Rodeo in 2014 — the first year where proceeds benefited Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington. This year’s Sun Parlour Rodeo will start at 6 p.m. on both Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31.

By Bryan Jessop The Leamington-Kingsville region’s longest-lasting rodeo will keep on running to ensure that one of it’s worthy causes does the same.

The Sun Parlour Rodeo will return to Easy Walking Stables at 1835 County Road 18 north of Highway 3 in rural Kingsville for its 15th instalment with a full slate of traditional, crowd-pleasing favourite attractions Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31. For the third consecutive year, proceeds from the event will support the recently-completed WindsorEssex County Hospice Erie Shores Campus in Leamington.

Both shows will begin at 6 p.m. rain or shine and feature between 200 and 300 competitors from across Canada and the United States as well as Mexico and Brazil. As a Rawhide Rodeo produc“People are tion, categories for entries will include bareback bronco riding, saddle bronco riding, steer wrestling, team excited that we’re roping, tiedown roping, barrel racing, breakaway ropback and they’re ing, bull riding and the recent addition of bull poker. looking forward to it.

For both 2014 and 2015, the Sun Parlour Rodeo raised $40,000 for the Erie Shores Hospice, then still — Stephanie Pavao under construction at its Talbot Street West location.

Previously, the rodeo raised funds for W.E. Care For Kids and to purchase specialized equipment for Leamington District Memorial Hospital. Last year’s two-day total of between 5,000 and 6,000 spectators was the most for one year since the Pavao family introduced the rodeo in 2001.

Additionally, the rodeo sponsored a fundraiser for Leamington resident and St. Clair College basketball player David Younan, who suffered a brain aneurysm in August of 2014.

The rodeo has also backed local charity-driven golf tournaments.

Since its inception, the local rodeo has raised about $288,500 for causes throughout Leamington and Essex County. The Pavao family of John and his wife Rina, their daughters Vanessa, Stephanie and Jennifer as well as family friend Nelson Carvalho credit the support of the community and event sponsors from around the county and beyond for the ongoing success of the rodeo.

“What they do for us is huge,” said Stephanie. “Community support and donations from sponsors is what keeps us going. We couldn’t put on a successful event without them.”

Trick riding will also make its return to the Sun Parlour Rodeo, which will again feature the Children’s Fun Village including bounce castles and pony rides. For both Saturday and Sunday, an assortment of food and beverage vendors will be on site for spectators.

Tickets are selling in advance until July 28 at $12 per adult and $6 per child at Leamington locations including Johnny’s Gas Bar, Jack’s Mini Mart, Double Seven, Elio’s Cafe in Windsor at Vehicle Venture and Trainer’s Choice and in Harrow at the Harrow Feed Store. Tickets will also be available at the gates for $15 per adult and $7 per child.

“We’re getting lots of positive feedback from the community,” Stephanie noted. “People are excited that we’re back and they’re looking forward to it. It’s a different way to have a fun weekend for people of all ages.”

IN MEMORIAM

ED ZDZIARSKI My husband, my friend, my soul mate and companion, father and pappa, who died six years ago, July 27, 2010

As time goes on without you And days turn into years, They hold a million memories And many silent tears, No longer in our lives to share But in our hearts, You are always there.

Love always, wife Anne and family

20 Years have passed.

It is not with sadness that we remember our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, because we will see you again in Heaven where you are.

We think of you every day and love you always.

Family and Friends.

When ties of love are broken And loved ones have to part, It leaves a wound that never heals And a lonely heart, We miss your loving touch.

It’s hard to walk the lonely road alone Instead of side by side To each there comes a moment When the path of love divides.

You gave me years of happiness Then came sorrow and tears, You gave me wonderful memories I will treasure through the years.

Among the loss and heartache One thought has made me glad You chose me to share with you Those precious years we had.

You were power and strength And freedom and joy!

Walk slowly down the long, long road So I may take the same, For one day on that lonely road You will hear me call your name.

Miss You More Each Day Love, your wife Fran, children, family and friends

Citizens are reminded to use OPP self-reporting system In July 2014 the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) introduced an online incident reporting system called Citizen Self-Reporting. This system is for members of the public to report selected incidents via the internet.

Citizen Self-Reporting (CSR) offers the public another way to report specific incidents including crimes that are not an emergency by completing an online report at their convenience by using a computer or mobile device.

The applicable calls for service which fall within the CSR online reporting parameters include: • Theft under $5000.

• Mischief/damage to property under $5000.

• Mischief/damage to vehicle under $5000.

• Theft from vehicle.

Call Roberta 519-398-9098 to place any of your special announcements or e-mail sun@mnsi.net

• Lost/missing property under $5000.

• Stolen licence plates.

• Driving complaints.

In all cases, only occurrences that do not involve an injury, suspect or evidence are applicable. An officer will attend if requested by the complainant.

It’s important that the public advises the OPP when they’ve been victimized. The use of Citizen Self-Reporting (CSR) is completely optional but enables the public to go online to report specific incidents.

There may be reluctance by a victim to report such crimes; however it’s important you do to enable the OPP to discern trends and better plan crime prevention strategies in the county.

Effective use of the CSR

CARD OF THANKS

Thank You

The family of Anne Kuli would like to express sincere thanks for the love of family and friends during our recent loss.

Also for the acts of kindness, words of comfort, charitable donations, masses, on-line condolences, cards, flowers & food. But most of all the hugs. A special thank you again to Robert Hudders & staff at Reid Funeral Home who always go above & beyond in their care.

Mom, we miss you so much every day but know you are with the boys.

Chester Kuli and Diane Lapos.

Even after 17 years, grief never ends, but it changes.

It is not a place to stay.

Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith.

It is the price of love.

Missing you still. Loving you forever.

Pat, Greg, and Jordy.

Tender awarded for Phase 1 & 2 of Pelee Bevel Line sewer system

system allows frontline officers to focus their efforts on other enforcement and crime prevention strategies in the community. To access the website, go to www.opp. ca and click on the Citizen Self Reporting icon. This will take you to a secure link where you will be given precise instructions as to how to fill out a report.

Every report submitted will be reviewed by an OPP officer. The information submitted via CSR is confidential. This system can also assist citizens when they file a claim with their insurance companies.

Citizens are encouraged to utilize this self-reporting system. Any occurrence of an urgent nature should immediately be reported to police.

Leamington Municipal Council called a special meeting on Monday, July 25 to consider the bids tendering the Pelee Bevel Sanitary Sewer System Phases 1 and 2. Although the seven tender bids ranged up to a high of just over $6 million (before taxes), Council accepted the low tender of J.J. Lepera Infrastructures Inc. in the amount of $4,850,000 (excluding taxes). When net taxes are included the total rises to $6,000,000.

First will be new water main upgrades along the entire length of the two phases.

Second, the new sanitary sewers (including a force main where needed) will service the entire route. Costs include tearing up the road and shoulders, then repairing the digging, along with the surveying, utility relocation, legal work, contingency allowance and supervision and the total now seems completely reasonable.

The cost of the sanitary sewer project will be partially funded (up to 50% of the budgeted cost) through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

Scheduling the project has been a bit of a problem, since there are a number of seasonal businesses that would be seriously affected during Phase 2 if there were to be construction in front of their businesses during July and August. The municipal engineer, the municipal project co-ordinator and Lepera have shuffled work around so that Phase 2 can be completed by May of next year, and Phase 1 can be completed around the Phase 2 priority.

By creating more leeway for the contractor, the municipality has been able to reduce the effect on the businesses along Pelee Drive from the bridge to Mersea Road C. Council passed the tender award. Mayor John Paterson asked the business owners in the Council Chamber to have faith in the municipality trying to do their best to minimize disruption to their businesses while getting the sewers installed as soon as possible.

IN MEMORIAM

GEORGE BIEKX

In loving memory of our “precious” dad, grandpa and great-grandpa who passed away July 23, 1999.

There is always a face before me, A voice I would love to hear, A smile I will always remember, Of a dad I loved so dear.

Deep in my heart lies a picture, More precious than silver or gold, It’s a picture of my dad, Whose memory will never grow old.

Forever loved and sadly missed, Shirley, Shelley, Jeff and Tracy.

P.S. Bunches of hugs and kisses for you great grandpa Joe, “Our Guardian Angel”.

Even though you went away, We always feel you beside us every single day.

Love Brandon, Brett, Matthew and Troy

Forever loved and sadly missed.

Husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

In memory of my husband whose golden heart stopped beating July 23, 1999.

Dear Joe, I never thought of losing you, And maybe that was wrong.

You always seemed a part of me, That would go on and on.

That’s why my grieving has no end, However hard I try.

My love for you was far too deep, To ever say goodbye.

I think of you as living, In the hearts of those you touched, For nothing loved is ever lost, And you were loved so much.

To have you for my husband, Was cause enough for pride.

No one could ever be your equal, No matter how they tried.

A husband in a million, I loved you till the end.

I lost two precious people that day, My husband and my best friend.

Sadly missed, always remembered and forever loved, your wife Mary.

Loving father, grandfather and friend.

As we share pictures, pile on pile.

Our thoughts of peace for you are cast Our love for you will will always last.

In silence we say a special prayer Still longing for another day To hold your hand or kiss your cheek Or just say “love you” one more time.

Loving you always, sadly missed by Audra, Tabatha, Lance, Cindy, Madison (Beautiful) and family.

Lots to do at Wheatley Fish Fest this weekend

By Pat Bailey Organizers of the 13th annual Wheatley Fish Festival are hoping their full slate of entertainment and family fun help reel in the guests – hook, line and sinker.

Sue Adamson, vice chair of the Fish Festival Committee, is excited about this year’s event and is hoping crowds descend on Wheatley to help celebrate the village’s history and heritage in the commercial and sport fishing industry.

“Without fishing,” said Adamson, “we would be nothing.”

She said the Fish Festival is a major event in town and helps support local community projects and also offers oldfashioned fun for the entire family, while celebrating its moniker as ‘Freshwater Fish Capital of the World’.

And of course, it couldn’t be a fish festival without a fishing derby. So from July 22 to July 31, anglers can take to Lake Erie and create some fish tales of their own in the Big Boyz Fishing Tournament, hosted by the Southwest Outdoors Club at the Wheatley Harbour.

Over $7,500 in cash and prizes will be awarded at the Wheatley Arena on July 31. Cash prizes of $1,000 will be awarded for the longest walleye and longest rainbow, with $500 going to second place winners and $250 for third place.

There will be several additional cash prizes, as well as door prizes for the participants. Registration is from the harbour with a $25 entry fee for the duration of the tourney or $10 a day. The cost for participants under 17 is just $10.

This year’s event also featured the festival’s inaugural 5k run/walk on July 24. The event was sponsored by the

Wheatley Optimist Club and offered a chance for the active crowd to tour the village, while getting a little exercise. The course took runners from Coulter Park, through the village and ended at the Wheatley Legion for lunch and refreshments. Proceeds from the run/walk go towards the Wheatley Optimists Friends of Youth program.

For those who prefer to sit back and enjoy a little entertainment, Adamson said they definitely have that covered.

She said ‘Crossroads’ will be playing both Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the arena; Ryan Bradley will take to the Legion Patio/Coulter Stage Friday night from 7:30 to 11 p.m.; and on Saturday, Dale Butler and John Moran will perform from noon until 2 on the Coulter Park Stage; the Hospice Concert Band will entertain from 2 to 5 p.m.; the Torrance Sisters and Bob Dawson will hit the stage from 5 to 6 p.m.; and the Michael Rios Trio will wind up the day’s entertainment from 7:30 to 11 p.m.

Adamson said there is one special request of the Hospice Concert Band. She said the hat will be passed for monetary donations and non-perishables will be collected to benefit the Wheatley Food Bank. She is also urging everyone to bring a lawn chair so they can just sit back and enjoy the talent.

She said Friday’s events will also include a baseball tournament and a smoked fish contest at the Legion. Entries can be dropped off from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Judging begins at 5 p.m. and voting for People’s Choice is at 6 p.m.

Saturday’s events will get an early start with a breakfast at the Legion from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., sponsored by the Legion and hosted by the Wheatley Scouts.

Once guests are finished their breakfast, they can stay Thursdays: 1/2 Price Wings right where they are and enFridays: Fish ‘n Chips $9.95 joy some homemade baked Saturdays: Single Nachos $7.95 goods at a sale hosted by Sundays: Twin Breakfasts $8.95 the Wheatley Legion Ladies Mondays: Unlimited Lasagna with Salad $7.95 Auxiliary.

Tuesdays: Taco Tuesdays! 2 Tacos for $6 There will be a Quilt Wednesday: Ladies Night -Platter & 4 Drinks $23.95 Show at Wheatley United This Week: Tupperware Church from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

featuring the beautiful handcrafted works of art by quilters in the area. Admission includes desserts.

Wheatley youngsters will then take to the streets to show off their pets in their finest at the 9:30 a.m. pet parade.

The Friendship Club is hosting an open house from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday that will feature a barbecue, bake sale and garage sale. The Heritage rooms at the club will be open from 11:30-2:30 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to check out the valuable information and historic items housed at the Heritage Society.

The Wheatley Minor Baseball reunion is also on Saturday from 1-3 p.m. at the Wheatley Arena. Players, coaches, parents, umpires, scorekeepers and volunteers will get together and enjoy reminiscing about Wheatley Baseball.

The Fish Fest parade will follow at 11 a.m., making its way from Wheatley Area Public School along Erie Street to Lamarsh Street.

Adamson said the committee has also provided some special little prizes for youngsters visiting this year’s festival.

She said bubbles and sticker books will be among the treasures handed out on the street and at the Block Parent booth.

Saturday’s activities will wind up with the yellow perch Wheatley is famous for and broasted chicken dinner at the arena, with dinner served from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by refreshments and music by Crossroads.

The fun doesn’t end there though. Sunday also offers a full slate of events, beginning with breakfast at the Legion from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The anglers will then head to the arena to see just how their catches measured up – with prizes, draws and raffles from 1:00 to 5:30 p.m.

Local talent of all ages will hit the stage at Two Creeks Conservation area from noon to 5:30 p.m. in an epic battle in the Wheatley Idol competition. This will be followed by a concert by The Lee Amlin Band at 6:30 p.m.

To end the weekend on a spiritual note, a ghost parade will begin at Coulter Park at 9 p.m.

If that isn’t enough to keep visitors busy, Adamson said several local churches will also be hosting bake sales and craft sales during the festival.

Lost Arts Festival at John R. Park Aug. 7 Looking for inspiration? Looking for an outlet for your creative energy? Visitors to the John R. Park Homestead may find both while enjoying a wide range of vendors and demonstrators at the annual celebration of creativity from days past at the popular annual Lost Arts Festival.

The event, which runs from 12-noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 7 sees the Homestead grounds transform into a bustling marketplace of artists, artisans and craftspeople demonstrating their techniques and sharing their extensive knowledge about their work.

The Homestead will also host the Lac Ste. Claire Voyageurs. The group, based out of Michigan, will set up an authentic recreation of a camp of voyageurs, a name given to early French Canadians who established trade routes over huge distances and were known for their tough pioneer lifestyle and diverse skill set.

Stroll through the encampment and see the voyageurs at work as they demonstrate their own rugged skill set – from broom making and paddle carving to candle dipping and

button making, and everything in between!

Visitors will have the opportunity to get hands-on in these lost arts and assist in various activities throughout the grounds of the Homestead, which is the only living history agricultural museum west of London.

From there, visitors can watch as the Homestead’s resident blacksmith turns raw iron into detailed pieces, learn about papermaking with invasive species, or get up close and personal with pollinators at the beekeeping demonstration.

Meet the artists and craftspeople who engage in these traditions, gain some knowledge, and find out how they can fit one of these generations-old hobbies into modern life.

After taking in the assortment of artistry, visitors can tap their toes to the old-time tunes of the Essex County Ramblers or test their early settler skills with some traditional pioneer games and activities.

For more information contact the Homestead at 519-7382029 or jrph@erca.org.

Micki Smith of the Lac Ste Claire Voyageurs demonstrates candle making at last year’s Lost Arts Festival.

SUMMER OF SAVINGS

The concession stand at Seacliff Park is permitted by its lease to sell beer, coolers and wine. For the Hogs for Hospice event, the lease is being amended to permit the sale of liquor as well.

There was no objection to permitting this change for the event at the Monday, July 25 meeting of Leamington Council. It was pointed out that if the operator wants to sell liquor in the future, a return to Council will occur as this amendment is not permanent.

The administrative recommendation to allow this change was passed by Council.

Wheatley player picked for Scandinavian tourney

By Bryan Jessop

Wednesday, July 27, 2016

First Shift returning to Southpoint

How Swede it is!

The dead of summer isn’t a time of year most youths are focusing on hockey tournaments, but Wheatley’s Matthew Thomas is an exception. Thomas has been selected as one of the 2005-born players to represent the Draftday North America team, which will depart for Finland and Sweden on Sunday, July 31 for the annual Warrior Elite Series Europe. The tourWheatley’s Matthew Thomas nament will feature Brantford-based Draftday and five other poses for a keepsake photo teams that will attempt to dethrone the Southwestern Ontario taken during an early-June based squad from the title it captured at the same time last year. tournament he attended in Thomas will be accompanied by three Chatham-Kent Cy- Montreal. Thomas will be to Finland and Sweclones ‘AAA’ teammates for the ’05 division of the tourna- heading den for this year’s Warrior ment, which will actually begin in Finland with two practices Elite Series Europe tournaand one exhibition game for each of the six teams. Afterwards, ment for 2005-born players.

(Submitted photo) the half dozen clubs will depart for Stockholm, the host city of the tournament. The competitive segment of the schedule will begin with a set of five round robin games for each team. From there, the top four groups will engage in semifinals and then the championship match for the two winners from the first round. Draftday’s opposing teams will be Sweden SHD Blue, Sweden SHD Yellow, Finland SHD, Team World and the Haninge Anchors, a municipal team in east central Sweden, just south of Stockholm.

Last season, Thomas played for the major atom Cyclones, who posted a regular season record of 17 wins, 10 losses and five ties before advancing to the Alliance League’s Pavilion playdown semifinals before being eliminated by East Division leading Waterloo. Teammates who will also represent Draftday in Europe this year include forwards Declan Waddick and Rorey Elson — both of Chatham — and goaltender Jake Vancoillie of Stoney Point. Waddick and Elson were also on last year’s ’05 Draftday WESE championship team. Thomas was invited to attend last year’s Draftday tryouts, but did not attend.

This year, the local defenseman was able to bypass tryouts entirely. During a regular season road trip to Brantford on Nov. 29, Thomas was noticed by Draftday scouts who attended the game. He received an e-mail invitation to join the team later that night — the date of his 10th birthday.

“It was quite the birthday present for him,” said Matthew’s mother Tracy Thomas. “He was really excited about it.”

In early June of this year, Thomas attended a tournament in Montreal with a team made up of Chatham-Kent, Elgin and Sun County players as formed by his Cyclones coach D.J. Degelas. Another team he represented in the spring was the regional Express — made up of half the players who will travel to Europe with Draftday — which won the London Rising Stars tournament in May. Thomas played in the Southpoint Minor Hockey system beginning at the age of four and began representing the ‘AAA’ Cyclones in his minor atom year.

“It seems like he’s been playing hockey since he could walk,” Tracy said.

The four Cyclones heading to Europe have created their own Facebook page called “Declan, Jake, Matt and Rorey’s European Cup Experience.”

By Bryan Jessop Local families interested in giving their kids a taste of hockey at a reduced price will have a second shot at First Shift.

Southpoint Minor Hockey Association has managed to sign on as one of the nation’s hosts of First Shift for the second consecutive year — an arrangement that was initially believed to be unavailable. For 2016, Southpoint has been chosen as one of 38 centres to host the initiative’s six-week fall sessions. A joint effort between Bauer and the Ontario Hockey Federation, the program is available to six- to 10-year-old youths who’ve never been registered with a minor hockey organization. First Shift begins with registered youths being fitted with their own brand new, complete set of hockey equipment and is followed by six weekly one-hour, on-ice sessions where they are taught the basic skills and fundamentals of hockey.

“At first, I thought we wouldn’t be able to bring it (First Shift) here a second time,” admitted SMHA president Greg Liebrock. “It’s something they want to bring to as many different places as possible.”

At one point, SMHA executives expressed an interest in introducing a similar program on its own without the support of Bauer or the OHF, with the possibility of private sponsors supporting it to allow new sets of equipment to be available to participating youth at or near cost.

After discussing with Bauer representatives how much they liked the concept of the program however, First Shift’s creators explained to the SMHA that they’d be willing to bring it back to the Leamington region.

“Basically, they said ‘since the first time here was so successful, why not come back’?”

Liebrock explained.

Registration is now available for this year’s SMHA First Shift, expected to begin in mid to late October, shortly after the welcoming and fitting gathering that will likely take place at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex. The program can accommodate up to 45 entries, about a quarter of which have already been filled for the Southpoint location. To sign up, interested families can log onto www.thefirstshift.ca, click on the “find a program” icon near the top of the screen, enter their postal codes, click on the “FS” logo situated over Leamington on the provided map and then click on the website link before following the necessary prompts.

The fee for six sessions and equipment is $199 per child.

Sessions in Southpoint will again be conducted by a team of about 10 instructors — about half of whom took part in the 2015 program — led by Sammar Charif. Those who registered for last year’s First Shift in Leamington will have the opportunity to return for a more advanced set of sessions dubbed Year Two Transition. The group will learn more advanced skills in hopes of elevating their confidence to the point where they’ll feel comfortable signing up for minor hockey. Of the 43 potential players who registered for 2015’s program, 38 returned for the seven-week winter version that ran from mid January to late February of 2016. Year Two Transition sessions will follow First Shift lessons in Southpoint at Unico Arena.

Representatives of SMHA have been promoting First Shift this year during baseball games at Kinsmen Sports Field and will do so again on Saturday, Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We get a lot of soccer and baseball players signing up,” Liebrock said. “It’s something for parents who want to find out if their kids will be interested without having to spend more than $500 on equipment just to find out that they don’t like it. It’s a great, affordable program that lets them try out the sport.”

Big Boyz fishing derby underway

By Bryan Jessop There wasn’t much in the way of bad luck for the start of the 13th annual Big Boyz Fishing Tournament. In fact, opening day was nothing but ‘rainbows’.

The Southwest Outdoors Club’s annual 10-day fishing derby, known by many as the official start to the Wheatley Fish Festival, was a busy day for entries looking to reel in a steady flow of rainbow trout. While the walleye were also biting steadily, it was the rainbows that were providing participating fishermen and women with hit after hit on the opening day of the tournament.

“They were really having a good day with the rainbows,” SWOC member Larry McDonald said of Day 1 results. “Things are going well. So far, we’re happy and the fishermen have been really happy too.”

Volunteers with the club are measuring walleye, rainbow trout, perch and salmon catches from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the first nine days of the derby, under the same tent at Wheatley Harbour near the boat launch where entries can register for one day at a time for $10 or for all 10 days at $25. Measuring for the final day ends at 1 p.m.

Participants under 17 can register for the entire tournament at $10 each. Tickets are also available at Bowman Feeds and Mercer’s Service Centre in Wheatley as well as D&T Auto Parts, Parkdale Variety and Economy Rental Centre in Leamington. Other locations include Action Marine and Wally’s Bait in Stoney Point, Barney’s Marina in Erieau and Maple City Marine and Howell’s Marine in Chatham.

Prize payouts feature $1,000 for the tournament’s longest walleye and the same amount for its longest rainbow trout. Second through fifth receive $500, $250, $125 and $125 for second through fifth respectively and $100 each for sixth through 10th in both walleye and rainbow trout categories. Prizes of $50 are awarded for each day’s longest catch in both categories. There will also be payouts of $150 for the longest yellow perch of the tournament and longest salmon of the tournament. Prize amounts are based on 300 entries — the number of 10-day registrations SWOC requires to break even on the event.

After the first day’s measurements were completed, the rainbow trout to beat was a 30 2/16” catch by Margaret Adams. The top walleye was Jay Miller’s 30” catch. At the time, Adam Hatt’s 23 14/16” salmon stood as the salmon to beat.

By 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, 80 boats had set out from Wheatley Harbour to search Canadian waters of Lake Erie for prize-winning catches. The average per day is estimated at 40 to 45, with most entries hitting the water at or near 5 a.m.

TT seniors enjoy July scramble

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, July 19, seventy-two Talbot Trail senior golfers enjoyed their second league scramble. Although it was a hot, muggy day, the various teams played very well. The lowest team score for 9 holes was a 31 and the highest team score was 36.

In first place with an outstanding 31 was T1G1. Each member of T1G1 (Eugene Abbruzzese, Bill Westrop, Ed Woelk, Terry Bee and Mike Wright) received 2 sleeves of balls. Two teams tied with 32s and to decide second place Bummy conducted a coin draw. The second place team ended up being T5G2. Kevin Jordan, Bob McLean, Fred Michano, George Toews and Orville Houser each received 4 golf balls.

The third place team, T5G1, also fired an excellent 4 under score. These are the players who each received a sleeve of balls: Bob Scott, Paul Harrison, Doug Langlois, Gord Chadwick and Dan Tymec.

Fourth place winners were T8G2 who won in a coin draw over T2G2. Both teams produced superb 33 results. Winning 2 balls each were Howard Mulrain, Paul Brown, Bob Freure, Garnet Fox, Jerry Paine and Bill Edwards.

A battle for the most honest team was settled by the final coin draw. Earning 2 balls each on victorious T3G1 were Dave Dent, Larry Hillman, Steve Longeway, Larry Hughes and Jim Omstead.

The closest to the pin winner on #7 was Fred Michano whose fantastic shot enabled his fellow team members from T5G2 to each receive a $10 gift card.

His playing partner, Bob McLean, had an outstanding shot on #9 to also enable the players to obtain another $10 gift card. Fred and Bob also each received a sleeve of balls. Bill Edwards made an impressive long putt on #2 to enable his playing partners to each win $5. Bill also received a sleeve of balls for his outstanding effort. The members of T8G2 were mentioned above.

Congratulations to the gift card winners: Gord Chadwick $25, Ross MacKintosh $20, and John Blood $15. (I think these are correct, but possibly not!)

Scotsman Bill Westrop came through with another of his excellent jokes. Patch was put on the spot to deliver a humorous joke and he didn’t disappoint. Ken Womack came up with a funny joke about ‘The Donald’ (Trump).

The league wants to extend special thanks to Tom Dunn for his excellent volunteer work at barbecuing the hot dogs and hamburgers to perfection. Also, thanks are extended to Talbot Trail’s multi-tasking manager, Greg, and his friendly staff (Elyse, Tyler and Ian) for fully satisfying the hungry and thirsty seniors.

Derek and his staff (Robert, Lloyd and Phil) have maintained the course in excellent condition despite excessive rain in May and extreme heat in July. Thanks also to George for keeping

the carts in excellent working condition. Despite the fact that he doesn’t play golf this year, members tip their caps to Jim Ascott for helping to organize the golfing groups each week. Jim also helps maintain sanity with Wiz at the head table.

Keep a watch for upcoming news on Greg’s special events such as the Bacon Open. Also, more information will be coming soon about the Jack Stein Men’s Invitational (August) and the Doc McLean Senior Invitational (September).

Mosquito Lakers win third tournament On July 15-17 the Leamington Mosquito Lakers, sponsored

by Unifab Enclosures, travelled to Kincardine for tournament action.

Friday night’s game was played under the lights against Burlington. Riley Wiebe started on the mound and held Burlington scoreless. The Lakers batters got the first inning going with singles by Derek Neufeld and Riley Wiebe. Sajan Brouwer doubled to give the Lakers a 2-run advantage.

In the second inning, Vito Alfano singled, Jason Friesen tripled and Riley Wiebe doubled to go ahead 6-0 after 2 at bats.

Riley Wiebe blanked Burlington in the third, and the Burlington pitchers responded, shutting down the Lakers. Matt Thomas, Derek Neufeld, and Jason Friesen all doubled and

the Lakers were leading 8-0 after 4 innings.

Riley Wiebe pitched 4 scoreless innings giving up 4 hits, and 2 walks.

Noah George came in to pitch for the fifth inning, and Burlington had bases loaded with one out. First baseman Jack Tiessen picked up a sharp grounder and went home with the throw to Jason Friesen who got the out and sent the ball to second baseman Derek Neufeld who was covering first base for a 3-14 double play to end the game. The Lakers won 8-0. Riley Wiebe was named MVP. In Game 2 on Saturday morning the Lakers faced Guelph.

The Lakers started at the plate and scored 1 run in the first inning. The bottom of the first found the Lakers shaky and they gave up 2 runs in an error filled inning.

The Lakers started the second inning with walks to Noah George and Brady Knelsen. Lucas Penner slammed a 2 run double giving the Lakers a 3-2 lead. Derek Neufeld struck out 4 of the next 5 batters to get the Lakers through the third and fourth innings while not allowing a run.

The third inning was full of controversy and a 30 minute game delay, but Matty “Doubles” Thomas kept the pressure on hitting a bases loaded double to clear the bases. The Lakers were then up 14-2.

Matt Thomas pitched the last 2 innings and the Lakers won 18-2. Lucas Penner was named MVP. The Lakers spent the afternoon on the beach, but the sun and sand didn’t tire the boys out for Saturday night’s match up against Woodstock. Derek Neufeld, Jason Friesen, Riley Wiebe and Sajan Brouwer went 4 for 4 at the plate. Jack Tiessen and Brady Knelsen racked up the strikeouts as Woodstock only sent 12 batters to the plate in a 3-inning mercy rule game.

The Leamington Mosquito Lakers won their third tournament championship in Kincardine the weekend of July 15-17. Team members are, front, left to right: Vito-Anthony Alfano, Lucas Penner, Derek Neufeld, Brady Knelsen, Matt Thomas. Middle row: Sajan Brouwer, Noah George, Riley Wiebe, Jason Friesen, Batboy Matthew Neufeld, Jack Tiessen. Back row: Coaches Randy Brown, Jake Neufeld, Jeff Thomas.

Leamington Lakers won 26-0. Jack Tiessen was named MVP. The semi-final game was against Guelph and there was no scoring until the third inning when Vito Alfano got the rally going with a single. Matt Thomas and Derek Neufeld followed with doubles, and Jason Friesen hit a 240 foot BOMB that had the Guelph outfielders backing up to the fences. Jack Tiessen hit a double to end the game for Guelph with a 10-0 win for the Lakers. Matt Thomas and Jack Tiessen shared the pitching duties.

The championship game found the Lakers facing Burlington once again. Jack Tiessen pitched a scoreless first inning.

Burlington held the Lakers score-

The first Oakland was built in 1907 and named after Oakland County in Michigan where it was manufactured. Oakland became part of General Motors in 1909 and sold well right up into the 1920s.

When the 1924 Oakland at the Canadian Transportation Museum was built, it was the perfect car for the Roaring Twenties with its flashy red paint job, whitewall tires, six cylinder engine and solid disc wheels.

General Motors and the Dupont Company teamed up to create a new paint called Duco, which General Motors first offered on its Oakland models for 1924. Several 1924 Oaklands were on display at the New York Auto Show in December 1923 with the new Duco finish in two shades of blue with red and orange accents. The public loved it and orders poured into GM showrooms.

Until then, the only durable and inexpensive automotive finish was the black enamel that Henry Ford used on his Model T. Before Duco, car bodies were usually brush-painted and handsanded over and over again to achieve a finished look. Duco could be applied with a spray gun and in a variety of colours.

By drying quickly, it greatly speeded up production.

According to Cars of Canada by Durnford and Baechler: “Sam McLaughlin (president of GM of Canada) hailed the introduction of fast-drying Duco paint as the greatest advance in the history of the automobile.”

The Oakland’s six cylinder engine for 1924 had 185 cubic inches with 40 horsepower. The transmission was a manual 3-speed floor shift and the wheelbase of 113 inches gave you a ride much more comfortable than a Model T Ford. It had 4-wheel brakes when several other cars of that time had only 2-wheel brakes. The 1924 Oakland seen here sold in Canada for $1,590.

Alfred P. Sloan became President of GM in 1923 and believed the company should offer a car in every price range.

LET’S TALK!

1924 Oakland touring car on loan by Ron Norbury of Windsor.

In 1927, Cadillac received a less expensive companion car called the LaSalle, which lasted until 1940. By 1930, Buick had Marquette and Oldsmobile had Viking, both short-lived because of the Depression. In 1926, Oakland was given Pontiac as a companion car named after the city of Pontiac in Oakland County. So popular did the less expensive Pontiac become that Oakland’s days were numbered. The last Oaklands were built in 1930.

You can see this 1924 Oakland and over 40 other vintage vehicles at the Canadian Transportation Museum on the Arner Town Line near Kingsville. Well worth a visit. Phone 519776-6909 for information.

Wheatley baseball reunion this weekend

By Bryan Jessop Memories spanning half a century of local minor baseball will soon be relived, as this year’s Wheatley Fish Festival will reunite several WMBA alumni for the first time in nearly two decades.

Likely to attend the Wheatley Minor Baseball Association reunion at Wheatley Area Arena Saturday, July 30 will be Dick Segedin, the head coach and manager of Wheatley’s last Ontario Baseball Association championship team.

The 1993 peewee ‘D’ Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion team captured the community’s 51st and last OBA title, giving the organization 51 provincial championships in the 50 years it operated from 1947 to its swan song season of 1997.

The Wheatley peewees enjoyed a successful season from start to finish in 1993 despite being unhappy about being classified by the OBA as a ‘D’ centre. Letter categories were for the most part assigned by population, with D commonly known as the classification designated for rural-based teams in smaller areas such as Blytheswood and Valetta.

“Wheatley was bounced around from C to D with no rhyme or reason,” Segedin recalled. “It was something that happened with guidelines that changed in the OBA.” Prior to coaching minor baseball in Wheatley, Segedin played fast-pitch softball with the Ontario Amateur Softball Association teams based in Comber. The senior club routinely won championships in Windsor and Kent leagues before governing bodies with those organizations insisted that Comber’s players be entered into a pool and dispersed to its competitors. The successful team’s players — many of whom had children reaching ages where they started expressing an interest in playing — decided instead to simply fold the team.

“The wives of that team insisted that the players should be coaching their kids instead,” Segedin said with a laugh.

After hanging up his bat and glove at the age of 40, Segedin coached Wheatley minor baseball from 1990 to 1993.

His 1992 team hosted the OBA tournament with expectations of capturing a provincial title, but lost in what was essentially the semifinals in what the coach/manager described as a fluke. Despite stiff competition at the D level, the Wheatley Legion-backed team was bound and determined to avoid the same fate the following season.

Although the team competed at the major peewee age level — 12 — several of its players were actually 11 and of minor peewee age. Segedin explained that the combined age approach to field teams was common in smaller towns like Wheatley, which didn’t have enough players to offer Providing care for specific problems such as:

The Wheatley travel peewee ‘D’ baseball team was the community’s last to win an Ontario Baseball Association championship.

The 1993 title team as photographed consisted of (front row, left to right) Craig Geerlinks, Danny Armstrong, Doug Vandecaveye, Shawn Mather, Jeremy Tiborcz, Joel Gardiner (middle row, left to right), Thomas Grubb, Jay Sallmen, Brandon Fuller, Dan Bridgman, Mike Ouellette, Rich Segedin, (back row, left to right), manager and head coach Dick Segedin, coach Ed Sallmen, Wheatley Legion Branch 324 president Fred Chambers, coach Rob Vandecaveye and coach Doug Grubb.

told him that he could step in as the relief pitcher, having previously practiced pitching with his father.

“I told him to go out there and just throw strikes,” Dick said. “And throw strikes he did. He did a fabulous job.”

Wheatley won the game 6-1 to force a winner-take-all final against Kincardine later that day. The seventh inning of the nail biter ended with a 2-2 deadlock. From there, Segedin sent Vandecaveye out to play his banked two innings from the previous game, setting the stage for a 4-2 Wheatley victory and the association’s last OBA title.

“It was a team of really good athletes,” Segedin said, noting that each member of the team also played hockey in the winter while many were also successful track and field competitors for their school teams. “They were all very talented and very dedicated — they came out to every practice and didn’t miss any games. They were really good kids to work with. They all had the desire and talent. We just had to develop it, which is something no coach can do on his own.

I was lucky enough to have a great coaching staff with me.”

Vandecaveye went on to play for the Windsor Selects and was drafted by Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers in 1998. Grubb went on to capture national senior titles with the Tecumseh Thunder at the senior level, where he was crowned with MVP honours.

After completing his years of coaching with Wheatley minor baseball, Segedin agreed to lead the boys baseball team at Leamington District Secondary School, where his wife Fran was a teacher. Having filled in the coaching vacancy, the LDSS team still had to find a home diamond and make arrangements for umpires to officiate the games. Segedin explained that Kevin Ford from Wheatley Area Arena and Jack Szorvas took care of those two tasks respectively to give the Lions an entry at the regional level. Leamington lost in the Essex County Secondary School Athletic Association final in the first year, but won the ECSSAA title the following year.

More recently, Segedin coached the Leamington senior Barons to an OBA championship in 2009 and brought them to the final the following year, his last at coaching. The successful coach originally hailed from Leamington before purchasing farmland in Wheatley and moving to the freshwater fishing capital in 1969.

teams at every age level. Pitting its players against opponents a year older actually worked to Wheatley’s advantage, the coach explained, as it boosted the experience and skill levels of players who were able to compete in the same age group for a second year.

Prior to 1990, Segedin coached four seasons of house league baseball in Wheatley, where his son Rich played starting at the age of six while his daughter Lynn played in the local girls’ lob ball system. Many of the players on the 1993 peewee team were coached at younger levels by Segedin in previous seasons.

The OBA playoffs had since changed into a one-weekend double knock out tournament by the time the Wheatley D peewees made the season-ending journey to Tottenham in 1993. Segedin’s squad won its first two games, but dropped the third on the Saturday to Kincardine in a 5-3 decision.

The situation became ominous not only because of being one loss away from elimination, but also due to the challenging pitching situation. By OBA guidelines, no player could pitch more than seven innings over a course of 24 hours.

“You really had to know how to manage your pitchers,” Segedin said.

Thomas Grubb pitched the entire seven-inning game in Saturday’s loss to Kincardine, so the Wheatley team sent Jeremy Tiborcz onto the mound for the first game of Sunday morning. Winning 1-0 allowed Wheatley to play a fifth game, pitting them against the only other squad remaining in the tournament — undefeated Kincardine. Segedin and his fellow coaches sent Doug Vandecaveye, one of their four Tilbury players, to the mound for the sixth match.

Wheatley established a 6-0 lead after five innings, by which point Segedin expressed an interest in deploying a relief pitcher to finish the game on a winning note and allow Vandecaveye to throw for two innings in the deciding tilt.

His son Rich was a successful pitcher, but had hurt his arm in a pre-playoff game against the Tecumseh B team, leaving Wheatley in a tough spot to find someone to take the mound for the final two innings of Game 5.

Right fielder Joe Gardiner approached the head coach and
