Pilot will test a new industryspecific approach to address labour needs in the agri-food sector LEAMINGTON – The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, met with stakeholders on July 23 at the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) to highlight a new three-year economic immigration pilot that aims to attract and retain experienced, non-seasonal workers by providing them with an opportunity to become permanent residents.

The immigration pilot will test a new, industry-specific approach to help address the labour needs of the agri-food sector, particularly in meat processing, mushroom production and greenhouse crop production.

Addressing these labour market needs will help key industries in Canada’s specialized agri-food sector grow, and help meet Canada’s ambitious export targets.

Over the past several years, a number of these industries have experienced ongoing difficulty in finding and keeping new employees for year-round positions.

As part of the Minister’s visit to the Leamington area, she also toured Vine Fresh Acres Ltd., an innovative high-wire cucumber producer, and Highline Mushrooms, the largest mushroom grower in Canada.

Employers in the agri-food sector who intend to be part of the pilot, or other existing pathways to permanent residence for foreign workers in the same occupations and industries, will be eligible for a two-year Labour Market Impact Assessment.

Temporary foreign workers will be able to apply under this pilot in early 2020. A maximum of 2,750 principal applicants, plus family members, will be accepted for processing in any given year. This represents a total of approximately 16,500 possible new permanent residents over the three-year duration of the pilot.

“The success of our farmers and food processors depends on their ability to recruit and retain the workforce they need,” said Bibeau. “This pilot will help to ensure that employers in the agriculture and agri-food sector have the people they need to get the job done so they can help drive our economy and feed the world.”

“OGVG is pleased to support the announcement of Canada’s new Agri-Food Immigration Pilot which will provide a pathway to residency for interested and qualified international farm workers. This pilot identifies the current labour gaps in the greenhouse sector and will help to build talent, retain skills and support sector growth across the country,” said George Gilvesy, Chair, Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers.

The agriculture and agri-food industry is an important contributor to Canada’s economic growth and vitality, supporting one in eight jobs across the country. Agriculture and agri-food exports hit a new record in 2018, reaching $66.2 billion.

International Monarch Butterfly Blitz takes place in Leamington

LEAMINGTON – The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz is an annual event devoted to research for the conservation of the Monarch butterfly, a species-at-risk in Canada.

This summer, on July 27, the inaugural date of the blitz, Leonardo Cabrera and Henrietta O’Neill, local butterfly experts, led the Leamington Monarch blitz for a second year.

Also participating were Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald and other community members, including representatives of the Leamington Horticultural Society.

The purpose of the blitz is to capture the state of Monarch’s breeding habitats in Canada. Participants were briefed at the parking lot of the Sherk Complex on the lifecycle, ecology and conservation of the Monarch butterfly to arm them with much necessary knowledge. Their job included properly identifying and counting the milkweed plants that this butterfly uses exclusively for breeding. They would also be searching for and tallying the number of eggs and caterpillars found in the milkweeds.

The blitzing group of Leamington was amazed by the high number of findings. With a total number of 644 milkweed plants inspected, the group found 219 eggs and 78 caterpillars. About 20 adult Monarch butterflies were also counted and observed mating and laying eggs in this beautiful open field near the grounds of Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School.

These records are submitted to a national level data centre coordinated by the Space for Life Insectarium in Montreal, through the Mission Monarch Program https://www. mission-monarch.org/ This experience is motivating conversations with Mayor MacDonald on the conservation of this emblematic butterfly in the urban-rural interphase of the Town of Leamington.

The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz took place in Leamington on July 27. Of the 644 milkweed plants inspected, the group counted 219 eggs, 78 caterpillars and 20 adult Monarchs.

Note: Cabrera and O’Neill invite the community to help care for the areas on their properties where milkweed plants may be growing to help Monarch eggs and caterpillars survive and complete their lifecycle. These Canadian-born butterflies will then be ready for the long journey to Mexico.

Erie Shores Hospice Volunteer Cookbook – From Our Home to Yours

By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – It took a year and a half to create, but it only took a few days to almost sell out of the newly published Erie Shores Hospice Volunteer Cookbook.

This 350-page soft cover cookbook is stuffed with fun, easy and tasty recipes provided by the volunteers of Erie Shores Hospice. The first printing of 500 copies was on view and on sale at a special book launch and taste-testing held Thursday morning, July 25 at the Welcome Centre of Erie Shores Hospice. A second printing has already been ordered.

The Cookbook Committee consisted of four volunteers who collected and sorted all the submitted recipes. The recipes were then divided into chapters based on themes such as Entertaining, Gifts From The Heart, International Foods, Comfort Foods, Junior Chefs, Sweets, Summertime and Harvest. Committee members included Betty Geddes, Jane Grayson, Judy Slater and Ann Murphy. Carol Field acted as the editor and typesetter on the project.

“It boils down to almost a year and half for us working on it,” said Geddes. She explained that the cookbook has big print, with lots of pictures of volunteers at Hospice and pictures of food. “There’s lots of photography… It’s really different from any cookbook you’ve ever seen,” said Geddes.

Each section also has a small summary about the various volunteering opportunities at Hospice. “There’s information about the different areas of volunteering and many quotes throughout the book,” said Slater.

The cookbook sells for $20 each and is available at the Hospice volunteer office at the Welcome Centre, 197 Talbot St. W., Leamington. They will also be for sale at Hogs For Hospice. “They make great gifts,” said one customer who bought several for Christmas presents.

Profits from the sales of the cookbook will go towards Erie Shores Hospice.

The committee found the events were not held for the benefit of any one individual and sees “no credible reason to invest taxpayer funds in an audit of these public events organized by Mr. Labadie.”

Powers had also alleged that Canniff’s involvement in Positivity Day resulted in preferential media treatment but presented no indication of knowledge of facts to support the contention.

The committee noted that the “possibility, belief or speculation on the part of the applicant is not sufficient for this committee to recommend an investigation.”

This is the 11th election compliance audit application received by the municipality from Powers relating to the 2018 election.

All have been rejected.

The time period for audit applications has now expired.

There is a 15-day win-

dow to appeal the decision to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

CK election complaints rejected by audit committee C H AT H A M - K E N T – The Municipality of Chatham-Kent’s compliance audit committee met Monday evening, July 22, in open session and rejected an election complaint against Mayor Darrin Canniff made by mayoral candidate Robert Salvatore Powers.

Powers submitted an application to the municipality alleging that thencandidate Canniff incurred an expense by registering a website before the beginning of the election period in contravention of the Municipal Elections Act. Although Canniff conceded that the website was registered prior to the election period, he contended that there was no expense in relation to the website.

Powers brought no evidence of any expense.

Powers also alleged that media events held by local resident Ben Labadie constituted a contribution to Caniff’s campaign.

Family reunion planned for Kingsville man

By Bryan Jessop

KINGSVILLE – Thanks to organizations both local and nationwide, two siblings — including a local man — will meet for the first time in more than half a century.

Pat Wilds, a resident at Chartwell Retirement Residences in Kingsville, recently received word that arrangements are being made for him to meet his sister Dorothy Lee for the first time since 1967. Wilds, now 87, last saw Dorothy as she departed from the family farm in the Exeter area, a short distance from the small town Dashwood. Dorothy, now 93, left the farm to move to the Elliott Lake region and get married. Her husband, in the military at the time, did not wish to maintain contact with family.

Of Snowballs and BB Bats We took a trip into the Muskokas a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve often passed by Weber’s Burgers on Hwy 11, but for the first time, noticed a place called The Candy Shoppe just after Weber’s.

Naturally, I was going too fast to pull in but did notice another Candy Shoppe on the southbound side just before that.

So I made a mental note to stop there on the way home.

Mark Ribble It was like going back in time to my candy-filled childhood.

My teeth began singing as I walked through the front door. Deb wanted to stay in the car, so I sauntered in, hoping to find some of my long lost favourites.

The girl behind the counter said they have over 1,400 different candies, ranging from salt water taffy to some of the more obscure items tucked away in the back of my memory.

My first score was a Snowball. Unlike the cake-filled snowballs that can still be found around here, this one is pure marshmallow heaven. Soft and gooey marshmallow covered in chocolate and coconut. I had a box of four picked up and then decided not to be a pig and exchanged that for a single snowball.

I came across the old Gold Rush bubble gum, still in the old cloth sac they used to come in. All the while, my eyes scanned the hundreds of types of candy, hoping those elusive Mojos would jump out at me.

I bypassed the Pixi Stix and Lick-M-Aid section (they also had every flavour of Koolaid packets imaginable), honing in on those silver jawbreakers that I haven’t seen in years. I moved past them quickly, with my late mother’s voice echoing in my head, telling me I would choke on them.

I saw Bottle Caps, Razzles, Popeye Cigarettes and Pop Rocks.

I settled my focus on a basket full of BB Bats. They had five different flavours grouped together with an elastic, but then I saw the Sugar Daddys, in singles, waiting for me to grab.

If you don’t remember the Sugar Daddy, they are basically the old McIntosh Taffy on a stick. BB Bats are similar but usually fruit flavoured.

I wanted to score one more item before I left the store.

I went to the counter and asked about the Mojos. She informed me that they have stopped making Mojos and they can’t get them anymore.

I was looking forward to chewing on a few banana ones, which were always my favourite as a kid.

So I opted for another chewy memory.

Do you remember those foot-long flat taffy pieces that were like a neopolitan flavoured taffy? A chocolate stripe, vanilla in the middle and strawberry on the other side.

When I was a kid, we used to put them in the fridge and they would harden to the point you could break off a piece and eat it.

Anyway, that was my final item and my visit was complete.

As I exited the store, there was my wife taking my picture, expecting me to be carrying a big bag of candy. Instead, I had a handful of the stuff mentioned above.

Hardly a Kodak moment.

Front row: Martin Mooney, Sid Lowe, Eric Russelo, Milt Campbell, Bill Offler.

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, August 1989 Early last week Dr. Kenneth Boshell began the task of buzzing “Captain Wheatley” out of his hiding place with the giant poplar log placed at the municipal office. By midweek the wood sculpture was taking shape and quickly became a focal point for the visitors attending the weekend celebration which marked Wheatley’s 75th birthday.

Onlookers were amazed at the unique carving to signify Wheatley as a fishing village and when the finishing touches of anchor, rope and floral landscaping are completed, Captain Wheatley could well become a popular photo spot for tourists travelling our Heritage Highway. Boshell completed his task on Friday, just a short time before local and visiting dignitaries began the official opening ceremonies for the July 28, 29 and 30 festivities.

ESSEX COUNTY – Essex Powerlines Corporation (EPL) has launched its summertime paperless billing campaign – Power Up for Paperless – where proceeds from the campaign will benefit the Fight Like Mason Foundation.

The Fight Like Mason Foundation is a local registered charity organization that was created by Iain Macri and Chantelle Bacon, parents of Mason Bacon-Macri, who died of Rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of four. The organization helps to improve treatment, care, quality of life and awareness of patients diagnosed with childhood rhabdomyosarcoma and other childhood cancers.

With the help from its customers, EPL hopes to raise funds by donating $10 to the Fight Like Mason Foundation for each customer who signs up for paperless billing.

“The Fight Like Mason Foundation is a great cause that helps provide comfort to these young superheroes who are battling illness and fighting for their lives,” said Joe Barile, General Manager, EPL. “Essex Powerlines hopes that with the support from our communities, we can help make a difference for these children. By signing up for paperless billing, together we will be helping continue Mason’s fight by providing funding and bringing awareness to this powerful cause.”

To make the switch to paperless, EPL customers should visit MyAccount at https://myaccount.essexpowerlines.ca/app/login or contact EPL Customer Service Representatives at 519-737-6640. For more information on the campaign and the Fight Like Mason Foundation, customers can visit www.essexpowerlines.ca. The campaign will run until September 6, 2019.

High water level information sessions planned ESSEX COUNTY – With continued record-high lake and river levels significantly impacting the Windsor-Essex region, the City of Windsor, County of Essex and all regional municipalities, together with the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), will host information sessions for residents.

“Since May 30, our region has been under a longterm flood watch, and nearly two dozen active flooding events have taken place,” said Richard Wyma, ERCA’s General Manager. “Some shoreline and low-lying areas have been largely under water for months.”

The forecast continues to predict water levels at these unprecedented highs, and the serious potential for localized intense rainfall raises additional concerns.

The current situation across the region is unlike any we have experienced in the past,” Wyma added. “Water simply has no place to go.”

These information sessions are intended to identify current and predicted water level impacts, and to help residents be prepared in the case of a flooding emerPLAYING AUGUST 2 - 8 gency. Presenters will include municipal staff and Emergency Management Coordinators from across the Windsor-Essex region.

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of my Son

LEAMINGTON – A smoother ride is in the near future for a number of roads in urban Leamington.

During its regular meeting Tuesday, July 9, municipal council officially awarded the tender for the milling, paving and minor curb repairs to segments of four streets. All four affected stretches of suburban surfaces are south of Talbot Street East, east of Erie Street South and north of Seacliff Drive.

Last month, the municipality received bids on the project from two contractors. The successful applicant is Mill-Am Corporation of Oldcastle near Windsor, which submitted a proposal for the affected areas to the tune of $388,110.23 before taxes and $394,941 including net HST. The report, submitted to council by engineering project manager Gaspare Graziano, explained that Mill-Am has taken on projects for the Municipality of Leamington in the past and has “performed well.”

The areas to be milled and paved while also being treated to minor curb repairs will be Alderton Street from Rudgate Lane to its east end at Bennie Avenue, Bennie Avenue from its north end at Oak Street East to Alderton, Orange Street from Elizabeth Crescent to about 60 metres east of Worchester Avenue and Worchester Avenue from its north end/cul-de-sac to roughly 35 metres south of Mill Street East. The Surface Treatment Program for 2019 will come to a post-tender total cost of just under $400,000, including an estimated $5,000 for contract administration, material testing and other miscellaneous expenses. The report from the engineering department noted that road maintenance projects including creak sealing, tar and chip resurfacing and asphalt milling and paving take place in Leamington on an annual basis.

Although council approved of the paving and milling of the four urban streets by Mill-Am unanimously, its members also stressed the importance of directing attention to the surfaces of some of Leamington’s rural roads as well.

“I often hear that all the work gets done in town and there’s nothing done for the rural roads,” Councillor Paul Tiessen noted. “Let’s not forget the rural roads. There are some that are in very poor shape.”

Graziano explained that this year’s road resurfacing budget still contains just over $350,000 that will be earmarked for the rehabilitation of Leamington’s rural roads, as intended.

9 years old Shepherd Mix - Hi, I’m Ben. I’m really a sweet guy but I need someone to take their time with me.

I love walks, treats, gentle pets and dinner time.

3 years old - Kit Kat is very shy at first and once she breaks out of her shell she is very vocal and affectionate feline. She loves to be pet and have her head scratched. Kit Kat has no interest in playing with any toys and would prefer to lounge around and relax. She also likes to snuggle up behind you or beside you while your sitting and Kit Kat will meow until you pet her.

She was spunky, youthful, she loved a good joke and she had a big hearty laugh. She enjoyed reading murder mysteries and watching them on TV, with British programming as well. She liked to watch a Pipe and Drums Band and had a true appreciation for the music of the Big Band era. She liked baseball and especially the Blue Jays. Always smiling, she enjoyed life. She did not like it when people complained about their health, so she did not.

Cremation has taken place. Friends were received at the Wall-Custance Funeral Home & Chapel, 206 Norfolk St., Guelph, on Tuesday, July 30, 2019. A private family graveside service was held at Winona Fifty Cemetery.

Memorial contributions to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

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

LEAMINGTON – A one-way solution will address two matters for a small area in the north half of urban Leamington.

Plans to revamp the section of John Street from the Queen Street parking lot to the “T” intersection at Erie Street North began with council’s approval to alter that particular section of the street into a westward, one-way route for motor vehicle traffic. The recommendation for the change came as part of a report that highlighted the results from a traffic impact study as prepared by RC Spencer Associates Inc. for council’s regular Tuesday, July 23 meeting.

Earlier this year, engineering project manager Alexander Del Brocco presented a report to council revealing the design created by RC Spencer for a facelift to properties including Italian Centennial Park and grounds surrounding the Leamington branch of the Essex County Library. The layout, if approved, would expand the amount of green space for the park. Some of that space would be provided by narrowing the adjacent section of John Street to a width that would accommodate only one direction of motor vehicle traffic.

The traffic study indicated that despite the fact that cars and trucks exiting John Street onto Erie Street North may only turn right/south, the intersection generates significant congestion for vehicles heading south along Erie towards the Talbot Street lights. The study also states, however, that it is crucial for Erie Street traffic to be permitted access to John Street in order to utilize Leamington’s post office, the Queens Avenue parking facilities, the library, Leamington United Church, St. John’s Anglican Church, Italian Centennial Park and once vehicles are parked, proximity to nearby businesses for pedestrians.

As shown in RC Spencer’s design — cre“I like the ated in conjunction with concept of what the Leamington Uptown we’re trying to do, but Master Plan as approved by council last year — the traffic situation John Street from the doesn’t leave me Queens Avenue parking feeling warm and lot to its western end befuzzy.” yond Elliott Street will — John Jacobs remain open to two-way traffic. The report notes that the proposed layout for John Street will address the area’s traffic needs and that there are no significant problems anticipated by redistributing eastbound traffic on John Street to alternative routes using Queens Avenue, Clark Street, Albert Street and/or Fox Street.

Although council ultimately approved of the proposal to alter the Queens Avenue parking lot to Erie Street intersection portion of John Street into a one way flow of westward traffic, the decision was preceded by sentiments of concern over the plan. While members of council were pleased with the proposed facelift for the uptown area, some were not convinced that adding a one-way section to the east end of John Street would address traffic issues.

“I like the concept of what we’re trying to do, but the traffic situation doesn’t leave me feeling warm and fuzzy,” explained Councillor John Jacobs.

Deputy-Mayor Larry Verbeke expressed unease about the possibility of rerouted traffic taking Queens Avenue to Clark Street as a means of accessing Erie Street North — a practice he noted may create queues responsible for delays to firefighters responding to emergency calls.

Jacobs echoed Verbeke’s sentiments, adding that Leamington’s OPP station is also on Clark Street.

RC Spencer Associates’ Leamington branch manager John Tofflemire explained that results from the traffic study indicate a flow of 98 vehicles per hour using the focus area.

“It’s really not a lot of traffic now,” he said. “When we distribute that traffic over a network, the numbers will fall off pretty quickly.”

Del Brocco explained that with the affected section of John Street reduced to a single lane for one-way traffic, an extra 28 feet of space will be made available for extra green space at Centennial Park and walkways near the road.

Chief Administrative Officer Peter Neufeld expressed the importance of creating a “walkable community” within what he described as the area’s three pillars — the revamped Leamington library, The Bank Theatre and the Leamington Arts Centre.

Although council voted in favour of the one-way traffic alteration, it will still schedule a public meeting for input on the John Street segment of the Leamington Uptown Master Plan. In the event that the public overwhelmingly opposes a one-way section of John Street, plans for the area may require alterations to accommodate the current two directions of traffic along the entire length of John Street.

WINDSOR/ESSEX COUNTY – Imagine filling an entire arena with thousands of recent post-secondary school graduates – all of them from economically disadvantaged families, ready to start an in-demand job geared towards our 21st Century economy. That’s precisely what ProsperUs hopes to achieve over the next 10 to 20 years.

ProsperUs is a collective of community partners from nonprofit, government, health care, education, labour, business and inspired residents.

On Tuesday, July 24, in Windsor’s west end, ProsperUs released a milestone report, entitled Coming Together: Building a Hopeful Future for Children and Youth in Windsor-Essex County, aimed at guiding the next stage of its vision for the community.

ProsperUs partners plan to target the collective investments of over 45 partners in three neighbourhoods – West Windsor, downtown Windsor, and Leamington.

ProsperUs has a vision to transform the conditions and capacity in the region to dramatically improve the outcomes for children and young people of Windsor-Essex County, from the time they are born until they complete post-secondary education and enter the workforce full-time – a Cradle to Career (C2C) approach.

“Our plan is to focus the Cradle to Career Strategy in key neighbourhoods, with the goal of expanding its impact over time,” said Janice Kaffer, ProsperUs Co-Chair. “Not all children and youth are thriving, and that’s more apparent when you look at the numbers neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

We want to level the playing field and give children equal opportunities to help youth succeed and become independent, prosperous adults.”

“This is an historic undertaking – the first of its kind in Canada,” said Jim Inglis, ProsperUs Co-Chair. “Our region’s greatest strength is our youth – they are the generation that will help shape our changing economy. We will unlock youth potential and talent, and drive further economic transforma-

Awesome 1937 Ford street rod The sun was shining at the historic Essex Railway Station in Essex on the afternoon of Friday, June 7 for the Third Annual All-Ford Car Show when Bill Elford of nearby Harrow wheeled onto the field in his 1937 Ford street rod with gleaming black finish and American Racing wheels.

Bill bought the car 35 years ago from Bobby Howard (who drives a hopped-up 1940 GMC pickup today).

It was running and already chopped when Bill bought it. The colour was burgundy and is now immaculate black, and even though it was repainted 10 years ago, it still looks new.

The Pinto front end has now been replaced with a Mustang II front end. The nine-inch Ford rear end fits well with the parallel leaf springs for modern handling.

Bill’s ’37 street rod of course has hydraulic brakes – and it’s easy to forget that this car when new had fourwheel mechanical brakes.

Ryan Harris, centre, of Leamington, was thrilled to see the Stanley Cup in person and meet St. Louis Blues assistant coach Steve Ott on Sunday, July 28 at Lakeshore’s Atlas Tube Centre.

He is joined in the picture by dad Tim Harris (left) and Ott.

Local fans meet Steve Ott, see Stanley Cup

By Pat Bailey

LAKESHORE – There were smiles all around, but one of the widest grins belonged to Leamington’s Ryan Harris.

The St. Louis Blues’ fan was thrilled to have a chance to meet Steve Ott and see the Stanley Cup in person at the Lakeshore Atlas Tube Centre Sunday afternoon, July 28.

Ott, who grew up in Stoney Point, an assistant coach with the Blues and a former member of the Leamington Flyers, brought the cup home to where the journey began for him — the local arena, even if it wasn’t the actual arena where he honed his skills.

While Ott patiently greeted his fans, shaking hands and smiling for picture after picture, Harris delighted in his chance to meet Ott and Lord Stanley.

Despite his Blues wallowing in last place in January, Harris never lost faith.

“He never wrote them off,” said dad Tim Harris.

“I picked them last September,” said Ryan. In fact, he not only picked them, he actually placed a small wager on his team in Las Vegas in September.

When the Blues beat the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the finals and hoisted the Cup on June 12, Ryan was a winner too. Not only did he get a chance to witness the Blues’ first Stanley Cup Championship win, he also pocketed a little money for their effort and his loyalty.

Ryan was one of about 1,200 fans who turned out for the event, donating canned goods for the Community Support Centre for a chance at a picture with Ott and the Cup. In addition to Ott and the Cup, the arena also hosted a display of jerseys representing Ott’s former teams: the Belle River Canadiens, the Leamington Flyers, the Windsor Spitfires, the Buffalo Sabres and, of course, the St. Louis Blues.

While the hundreds lined up for their chance with Ott and the Cup, proud dad Butch Ott couldn’t help but stand by and revel in the moment every hockey player dreams of.

The former Leamington Flyer coach just shook his head. “It’s just surreal,” he said.

Wheatley Women’s ball hockey wraps up 10th season

By Sheila McBrayne

The Wheatley Journal reclaimed the Duct Tape Cup in the Wheatley Women’s Ball Hockey League as they defeated 2018 champions Anthony-Keats Marine 4-0 on Monday, July 22.

The Journal had managed to clinch the league by a one-point margin the week prior and ended the season with the playoff championship. Scoring for the Journal were Jillian Iles with two and Kerra Gradwell with two.

In the consolation final, The Carn Barn edged out Johnston Net & Twine in a close 2-1 match. Scoring for Car Barn was Ryah Cottingham with both goals and Jess Imeson scored Johnston’s goal.

This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Wheatley Women’s Hockey League, which started with the same original four teams in 2010.

The top scorers in the league were recognized as follows: Johnston Net & Twine, Sarah Meek – 4 goals; Car Barn, Ryah Cottingham – 8 goals; Anthony-Keats Marine, Laura Neufeld – 12 goals; and the overall league top scorer, the Journal’s Jillian Iles with 24 goals in the nine regular season games.

Scottish champ Tyler St. John-Worth of Tilbury (left) congratulates opponent Martin Kerr Saturday, July 27 in Sarnia after the Scottish national champion earned a 3-0 victory in the 64 kg (140 pounds) elite men’s division. St. John-Worth’s coach, Doug Patterson of Kingsville, described the match as “a war of sluggers” that many in attendance considered to be the best fight of the evening. St. John-Worth suffered a fractured right hand and is now taking time off to focus on strength training. He will be joining Kingsville fighter Tiago Baltiero at Seng’s Martial Arts and Fitness to prepare for future international bouts as well as Canadian national championships.

Kurtis Joseph of the Major Mosquito Lakers.

Major Mosquito Lakers’ Owen Deneau. (Submitted photos)

Major Mosquitoes go two for two on weekend Another two games and another two wins for Leamington Major Mosquito Lakers on the weekend. The team is sponsored by Leamington Chevy-Buick-GMC. Friday evening, July 26 saw the Lakers face the Windsor Stars AAA Minor in a match-up that was hoped to test both teams in different ways.

After an encouraging start from Windsor which saw them score the first run, it was all downhill for them from there. Their pitching never really got going and the Lakers scored 10 runs in response to their one.

Kurtis Joseph opened the pitching and threw three innings, striking out seven.

The second inning saw the same result, another 10 runs scored including an incredible out-of-the-park home run from Noah Friesen, the first one this team has ever scored in a game situation. Friesen scored five RBIs from his three at bat, followed closely by Carter Chorba with four.

Jr. Barons beat Dresden The Leamington Junior Barons travelled to Dresdan on Sunday, July 28 and mercied the Dresden Tigers 14-2.

Anthony Fehr started on the mound and threw three innings of shutout ball. Brett Enns came on in relief and mopped up the final two innings for the save.

Kyle Wall, Fehr, Enns and Brandon Teichroeb all had strong games offensively and defensively.

The team sponsored by Caxton Mark will play their final home game on Friday, August 2 at 7 p.m. on Diamond 7 at the Kinsmen Baseball Complex. Admission is free.

Matthew Giesbrecht, Max Carr and Trent Szorvas each scored two RBIs. Chris Joseph also scored three runs in a convincing 21-2 win.

Sunday afternoon, July 27, Kingsville came to town.

Rhys Tipper opened the pitching this time, allowing zero runs, just two hits and striking out four over three innings.

Grant Symons led the way for the bats, going three-forthree at the plate, scoring two runs with two RBIs. Giesbrecht and Tipper also had multiple hit outings. It was only 1-0 after the first, but the boys stretched their legs in the second with five runs coming from Zack Liebrock, Josh Joseph and Owen Deneau.

Another five runs were scored in the fourth inning, after two in the third, to finish the game in the fifth 13-0.

This week sees three games for the boys, all of which will prove much sterner tests than these. Good luck!

Progs golf report Progs golfers agree that July 23 has to be marked as a perfect day for golf at Erie Shores Golf Club. The course conditions were pristine, with a wind blowing in from the north.

I had the pleasure of playing with Brett Madden, Ron Tremblay and Dick Segedin. Brett was the lone negative player with a -2. Brett struggled with his driver, delivering most of his drives towards the trees and sometimes into “it was nice knowing you” land. Brett fared better at the end where his drives straightened out and he was able to pick up some much needed points.

Ron Tremblay played to his handicap and ended up with his quota points. Ron carries two drivers. I don’t know how he decides which one to use. He changes the driver as often as he does golf balls. If one behaves poorly, it gets replaced.

Ron’s not fussy what the balls look like either. Ron used a rugged looking ProV1 that was covered with chicken pox scars. It still played and flew properly but it was mangy looking.

Dick Segedin also scratched out an even plus score. Even through the wind, Dick’s drives were well in excess of 200 yards, finding the fairways most of the time. Putting was another matter. His alignments and speed were out of sync, missing numerous opportunities for birds and pars. Dick had one hole, where he was putting for bird and ended up with a bogey. I think that is a common ailment among amateur golfers. Had the snake been with us, Dick would have earned it.

Speaking of snakes, Ollie Mastronardi three-putted on the last hole. If you know Ollie, he is not happy that he threeputted because he is to carry the snake on his golf bag until someone else takes it away. I think the snake stays with a person longer, the more you don’t want it. It’s all in how you feel and whether you had “stuffies” growing up.

The $10 winning team was Orest Hrynewich, Vic Penner, Tom Miehl, Joe Verhoeven, Neil Sawatzky, Wayne Wiseman, Mark Wisternoff, Steve O’Hara, Ken Segedin, Bill Slater, Brian Plumb, Carl Grossi and Garth Dennerley.

Two proggers tied for first high plus and $17 each – Don Gemmell and Dan Musuronchan with +7. Third high plus for $10 was Ken Segedin with +6.

Skins were $30 each: Joe Verhoeven #2, Dan Musuronchan #8 and #14, and Claudio Sabelli #15.

Proggers: Please forward any funny or interesting shots to me so I have something to write about.

Dutchy regains his throne in senior golf On July 23, 65 seniors league members and guest Pat Amicone enjoyed the marvelous golfing weather at Talbot Trail Golf Club. The course was drenched with close to two inches of rain during a recent heavy storm. However, by Tuesday the carts could use the ‘scatter’ rule.

Gary Honey drained a marvelous 22-footer on #2 to win the long putt. Steady shooting Don Willan hit an outstanding shot to within a few feet of #9 to earn closest to the pin.

The super senior division was very closely contested.

Murray Cascadden led the way with his impressive 53. He was closely followed by Scotty Westrop’s masterful 55.

A senior golfer, who had just arrived home late after a round of golf, observed a note on the fridge: “It’s not working!! I can’t take it anymore. I’ve gone to stay at my MOM’S!” So he opened the fridge door. The light was on and the beer was very cold… he had no idea what she was talking about!

Two-year-old Max Briscoe of Essex enjoys a little watermelon at the special Wheatley Fish Festival children’s events in Coulter Park.

Bentley Kaiser, 5, shows off the youngest pet in the Pet Parade, her French bulldog Ruby, just three months old.

Brothers Bryce and Ryan Bailey, ages 6 and 4, had a little fun in the shark goalie mask at the Fish Festival children’s events.

Representatives of the Wheatley Omstead Sharks were on hand at Coulter Park Saturday morning where they posed for pictures, assisted the youngsters in shooting the puck and offered a chance for their youngest fans to colour a goalie mask. Pictured with Sharks Drew Denomey (left) and Tristan Edmonson (right) are Dax Glasier, 4, and Rex Pearce, 6.

Wheatley Fish Festival kicks off with special day for youngsters

The honours for Best Overall Pet in Saturday’s Pet Parade went to Zoey Jackson, 10, of Chatham and her rescue dog Oreo.

(Continued from front page) Then it was on to Coulter Park for a little bit of fun.

Representatives of the Wheatley Omstead Sharks Junior C hockey team were on hand to meet the youngsters, give them a few tips on shooting the puck, pose in the goalie mask or take a little time out to colour a goalie mask.

Youngsters and their pets also took to the stage to show off their tricks and costumes while competing for bragging rights.

A recent rescue, Oreo, was named best overall pet. He is owned by Zoey Jackson, 10, of Chatham.

Jangles the Clown was on hand to entertain the crowd with balloon animals and hats.

There were snacks for everyone and a colouring contest as well, with Brooklyn Wright, 2, Lucy Dobson, 7, Angelina

Dyck, 8, and Logan Lefaive, 10, named winners.

Winner of the parent participation raffle was Nancy Heide.

“We are just delighted with how the day turned out,” said Wheatley Optimist secretary/treasurer Sue Adamson.

“Families came out and participated in many events and children went home bearing gifts and happy faces.”

She said she was also pleased with the turnout at Coulter Park.

She said the day wouldn’t have been such a success without the Wheatley Sharks, the Wheatley Legion, the Chatham-Kent Police, Renny’s Village Smokehouse and all of the volunteers.

The Big Boyz Fishing Derby also got underway on Saturday.
