New emergency alert system for Leamington

AUGUST 12-14/16 LAKESIDE PARK

KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO

www.kingsvillefolkfest.org

The Municipality of Leamington is launching a new mass notification system to keep residents, staff and emergency personnel safe and informed with quick and reliable emergency notifications and public service announcements.

The Municipality of Leamington will begin using this mass notification system to communicate with citizens and businesses during emergencies and other critical events.

This emergency notification system will be used to alert residents about a variety of events, ranging from severe weather, fires, floods and other emergencies, to more routine announcements such as road closures and water utility maintenance. Messages will be sent to residents on their preferred contact paths, be it cell phone, text message, home phone or email to ensure real-time access to potentially lifesaving information.

Residents listed in the Municipality of Leamington’s database will be automatically subscribed to alerts by phone; however, citizens are encouraged to self-register and provide additional contact information.

“The Leamington Alert System will provide another tool to effectively inform the public during emergencies,” said Chuck Parsons, Leamington Fire Chief. “This system sends out information across various types of devices quickly and reliably to ensure public safety and community awareness.”

Residents and businesses are encouraged to register immediately to receive these alerts by signing up online at www.leamington.ca/alerts, by phone at 519-326-6291 or in person at the Leamington Municipal Office located at 111 Erie Street North.

Trinity McCarty, 8, Susie English-McCarty, 7, Amira Antone, 5, Chantaya Thomspson, all of Leamington, show off their love for their country.

Leamington celebrates Canada Day

By Pat Bailey Thousands of people marked Canada Day with a bang, heading to Leamington’s waterfront on July 1st to take in the spectacle –- the municipality’s traditional fireworks over Lake Erie. Many were dressed in their finest red and white to help celebrate the country’s 149th anniversary of Confederation. On a nearly perfect night, they picnicked, enjoyed the entertainment, played in the park, got a soaking on the splash pad and waited for the festivities to begin. There were plenty of ooohs and aaaahs as the fireworks exploded over the lake.

An official launch was held for Career Compass last Friday afternoon at the office of Community Living Essex County.

A regional employment service for those with intellectual disabilities has been officially launched though it already has some success stories.

Career Compass, a group that operates under the umbrella of Community Living Essex County (CLEC), was launched on Friday, June 17 though it has already won the 2016 Ontario Disability Employment Network’s (ODEN) “Innovator of the Year” award for “promoting innovation in employment services for people who have a disability.”

Derek Roy, manager of supports overseeing Career Compass, said the idea came from ODEN with CLEC then re-branding its former “Ready to Work” strategy with a more business-minded initiative.

After fielding more than 200 suggestions for a new name, it was decided that “Career Compass” would be the brand they would use going forward. The program

Community Living Essex County officially launched its Career Compass program recently. Pictured here, from left to right, are Nancy Wallace-Gero, Executive Director, Community Living Essex County; Ryan Couture, Nutrition Workshop Facilitator, Access Community Gardens; Derek Roy, Manager of Supports; Steven Kwasnycia, supported employee by Access Community Gardens; and Tony DeSantis, Manager, Community Relations.

was one of 37 recipients of the Employment and Modernization grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services.

The name came from the idea of providing career options to job seekers and their families while guiding “forward-thinking” businesses in their inclusive hiring practices.

Roy said Career Compass can give guidance to employers who want to hire someone with a disability and said the notion that the employment has to be fulltime is unfounded. Many

people would like part-time work to ease them into the workplace.

“Business owners are often under the impression that they must hire full-time,” said Roy, “but this really isn’t the case. We’ve found that starting at fewer hours and evaluating from there is ideal.”

Career Compass is also working on a summer student program, with Roy stating the Career Compass team is working with local school boards on the matter.

Roy emphasized that Career Compass is connected

with CLEC. “We are one of the many arms of Community Living Essex County,” said Roy, adding that Career Compass has already exceeded many of its targets in terms of getting people hired.

Nancy Wallace-Gero, CLEC executive director, said the agency is very happy with the growth of Career Compass and called Friday’s event “a big celebration” of the employment services group’s early successes.

“Career Compass is a fabulous example of how organizations can modernize its services and meet the needs of the people,” said WallaceGero. “We are very proud at Community Living Essex County of Career Compass.”

Wallace-Gero added that Career Compass is “growing very rapidly” and that “it’s growing quicker than anything we are doing right now in terms of real success.”

Steve Kwasnycia, a supported employee at Access Community Gardens, said his employment is “going good for me” and it allows him to support his loved ones.

Ryan Couture, nutrition workshop facilitator, credited the Career Compass initiative for its help in allowing his own business to grow.

“The support you guys ave been giving has been crucial,” said Couture.

Couture said he doesn’t want to lose Kwasnycia, calling him the “best partner I’ve ever worked with.” He urged other employers to give Career Compass a shot and said it is not about the disabilities, but rather the abilities of the workers.

Tony DeSantis, CLEC’s manager of community relations and resource development, added there are a lot of success stories like that of Kwasnycia.

“We have a lot of people with direct supports that are looking for work,” said DeSantis.

Library staff form picket line at Leamington Branch

By Pat Bailey With school over for the summer, many youngsters head to the local library for their summer programs or to just check out a few books. But for now, the youngsters will find those doors locked as library staff walk the picket line.

Essex County Library staffers, 58 in all, including five local employees, have been without a contract since March 31 and are now out on strike while seeking a new contract.

On Saturday, July 2, staff members were joined by friends, family and library users in a picket line in front of Leamington’s Library.

According to an information sheet handed out on Saturday, at issue is an attempt by management and the County of Essex to change the workers’ sick time policy, which according the info sheet is not an issue in the workplace locally.

Library staffers, members of CUPE 2974, all expressed a love of their job and desire to get back to serve the community, especially the youngsters,and said they want to be able to provide the popular programs such as the Summer Reading Club, Family Story Time and book clubs.

Those walking the picket line said they feel it is ridiculous to be walking outside, when the ‘issue’ is actually a non-issue locally.

With Essex County Library workers on strike, a rotating picket line was set up on the weekend in front of the Leamington Library.

Those currently on strike include local workers Sue Tuck, Kathy Malolepszy, Laura Wilkinson and Leslie Stephenson, who were joined on the picket line Saturday by family, friends, a few members of Unifor and OSSTF, and library users.

Removal of stop sign at Bevel & Seacliff

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent In 2013, traffic consultants hired by the Municipality of Leamington recommended that the stop sign on Seacliff westbound at the Bevel Line be removed. In late 2014 this recommendation was defeated by Council. In late 2015, Council resolved to undertake a peer review of that recommendation, and a second consultant was hired to study the intersection. At the end of May the report of the second firm confirmed the opinion of the first consultants, again recommending the removal of the stop sign, which is also being recommended by administration. This would make Seacliff Drive East a through street in both directions.

Since this matter has been voted on, it required a motion to reconsider to bring it to the floor. Council was advised that they had to vote to suspend the rules of order to consider it at this meeting. Normally, a vote to reconsider is handled at the subsequent meeting to allow all members of Council to deliberate on the matter. Because the administrative report and the consultant’s report were available for the July 4 meeting, the members of Council decided it could be dealt with at this meeting and voted to suspend the rule.

Councillor John Hammond moved support for the change in a reversal of his former position.

Councillor Tim Wilkinson expressed his continued opposition to the change and backed his opinion with a demonstration of thorough study of the history of the intersection. He consulted a member of the OPP who assured him that it is not considered a dangerous intersection. Councillor

Wilkinson is concerned for traffic headed north on the Bevel Line and wanting to turn west toward Erie. He is convinced that removal of the stop sign will create traffic delays.

Town Engineer Alan Botham responded to Councillor Wilkinson’s concerns and arguments, defending the professional opinions of Landmark Consulting who are recommending the change.

The recommendation was passed by Council.

Memorable TV characters found their niche I read an article over the weekend about Ken Osmond, who played Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver in the late 1950s That got me thinking about all of those TV characters that stood out in the golden era of television.

Each show, whether it be drama or comedy, had one or two characters that were quirky, funny or just plain dumb enough to get your attention.

The aforementioned Eddie Haskell was one of those characters you loved to hate, but had that endearing quality so that you wanted to see more of him.

The Beverley Hillbillies had a couple of those characters too. Granny, of course, was over the top, but Milton Drysdale stole a lot of scenes with his underhanded schemes.

Some were just quirky enough to remember. Maynard Krebs was played by Bob Denver on the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Denver went on to play an equally quirky character on Gilligan’s Island.

Speaking of Gilligan and friends, Jim Backus and his Thurston Howell III was always memorable on that show and he was hot off his portrayal of Mr. Magoo in the long-running cartoon show.

In the westerns, there were always dastardly bad guys. It seemed that every week they were the central theme of the show but they weren’t regulars.

But some of the more memorable regulars included Festus from Gunsmoke, Hop-Sing from Bonanza and Rowdy Yates on Rawhide.

Over in Mayberry, Andy Griffith was often upstaged

by Don Knotts’ portrayal of Barney Fife, where other characters like Otis the Drunk, Gomer and Goober Pyle, always provided a good laugh.

They say the sign of a great show is the likeability of its characters. There were certainly some great characters that came through during those days.

Agnes Moorehead’s character, Endora on Bewtiched, always brought something extra to the show.

On Green Acres, several quirky characters roamed the back roads of Hooterville, including Mr. Haney, who always had something to sell, farmhand Eb, and

even Mr. Ziffel and his pet pig Arnold.

When the decade turned to the 1970s, the characters didn’t stop there.

From Rob Reiner’s Meathead on All in MARK the Family, to Jimmy RIBBLE Walker’s JJ on Good Times, they all took Rib’s their place in TV’s Hall of Fame.

Ramblings On the set of MASH, Frank Burns was the butt of everyone’s jokes, and Radar O’Reilly always had some good lines. Who can forget Corporal Klinger and his exploits?

Welcome Back Kotter provided us with Arnold Horshack and Vinnie Barbarino, while Happy Days produced such gems as The Fonz and Potsie Webber. It also produced a spinoff in Laverne and Shirley, whose show produced memorable characters Lenny and Squiggy.

Taxi had Reverend Jim and Latka, while Alice had Flo, whose “Kiss My Grits” line became an overnight sensation.

Three’s Company had one of the greatest comedic actors ever in John Ritter, but he was often upstaged

by Norman Fell’s Mr. Roper.

It must be a good formula because some of today’s shows have those secondary characters whom you learn to love, from Seinfeld’s Kramer, to Mike’s mother on Mike and Molly to good old Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. Even Karen on Will and Grace had some magic lines.

A lot of shows have come and gone, but those who’ve lasted always had that one character that everyone remembered. Often, they weren’t the star of the show, but a secondary character who made their appearance at just the right time to get a laugh or provide a poignant moment.

As new shows pop up on our screen, it makes you wonder who that next quirky character will be.

Ideas for hosting a wine-tasting party This issue’s question comes from Pierre in Kingston: My friends and I like to get together to “experiment” with wine. Aside from pairing different wines with different foods, do you CARMEN have any suggestions on DANNER how we can switch-up our wine-togethers?

Pierre, the Internet Let’s Wine abounds with options Together for games, parties and events on the theme of wine. You can even buy a wine-tasting party in a box, complete with everything you need to execute a winetasting party in your own home – except the wine, of course. Here are a couple of my favourites.

Depending on the average level of your guests’ wine knowledge, a “blind” tasting can be fun… under the understanding that there are no wrong or stupid answers, of course. It’s called a “blind” tasting because everyone brings their favourite bottle of wine in a paper bag so that nobody else knows what’s in the bottle.

From that basic starting point, you can go in several different directions. The guests can be left entirely on their own to submit their deduction as to what each wine is, or they can be provided with a multiplechoice style list to choose from, which makes the process a bit easier. Again, the route you take should depend on your guests’ comfort level… if they’re mostly

new to the world of wine, you don’t want them feeling too much anxiety about potentially making the wrong choice. One of the reasons I ask people to bring their favourite wine is so they have a pretty good chance of getting at least that one right.

For a more technical option, you can invite your guests to a “wine blending” party… you provide three wines and, after everyone samples them and gets acquainted with the flavours and aromas of each wine, they start blending the wines together to create their own “house” blend.

Here again, there are a couple of different ways this can roll out. You can use wines that generally work well together, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot (the three wines traditionally used in a Meritage or Bordeaux-style blend) or you can make it a real tastebud challenge and use wines that are not normally used together, like Pinot Noir, Baco Noir and Shiraz.

From there, the premise is simple: working alone or in teams, they blend the wines together in whatever proportions they wish until they create something that they’re proud enough of to present to the rest of the guests. It’s important to keep accurate records of how much of each wine they added so that the masterpiece can be recreated afterward. You can even present a prize at the end of the evening for the best wine!

WSO returning to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop Windsor Symphony Orchestra members may be enjoying their own summer vacation, but still remain active in entertaining crowds around the county — including Leamington.

The WSO’s Free Summer Concert Series has six performances lined up for the 2016 off season, including a Saturday, July 9 appearance at Leamington’s Rick Atkin Park. The 7 p.m. to roughly 8 p.m. event will be the first for the WSO to perform at the marina facility’s gazebo.

Previously, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra has sent small groups to perform at Leamington United Mennonite Church, local schools and for each member of the windwood quintet that will appear under the new gazebo, Seacliff Park.

Leamington’s stop in the outdoor series follows June 18 and 19 appearances in Windsor and Tecumseh, respectively. A quintet returns to Windsor July 10, performs in Amherstburg Aug. 13 and again in Windsor Aug. 14. Each hosting community — including Leamington — will be treated to a one-hour session thanks to sponsorship from within. The Port of Windsor and Windsor Family Credit Union support the Windsor events, Colleen and Richard Peddie the Amherstburg stop and the Town of Tecumseh and Municipality of Leamington for presentations in their respective communities.

The windwood quintet scheduled to arrive in Leamington July 9 will bring with it a set list representing a variety of music, from Beethoven and Debussy to covers from the Beatles. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to the event.

Sharpe explained that

brass and windwood quartets and quintets are ideal for unamplified outdoor concerts, as the sound is able to reach its audience through wind better than stringed instruments. The WSO is hoping for a crowd of 200 to 300 people, but as Sharpe noted, would love to see more.

“There’s usually some people out in the area anyway, who might just stumble upon the concert by accident,” she said. “We love those kinds of surprises.

The feedback is always very positive. A lot of people will approach the performers and ask when they are coming next.”

Not including Messiah, A Choral Christmas, Leamington will host four events through the WSO’s 2016-17 season, each at the Leam-

Dorothy Geraldine Leslie, nee Peters, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 2, 2016 in Scarborough, Ontario, at age 95.

Predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years, Robert (Bob) Burrell Leslie, parents Mildred (Bush) and Gerald Cass Peters, brothers Calvin, Dalton and Clarence Peters, and granddaughter Tracey Leslie. Loving mother to Sandra (Gary) Kerr, Dale Leslie, Arva (John) Brierley; grandmother to Scott Leslie, Jenny (Christian) Kerr, Kevin (Andrea) Kerr; great-grandmother to Treyson Leslie and Liam Kerr; sister to Verna Harling, Laura Jibb, Effie Stewart, Viola Modolo, Ralph (Alice) Peters; Rodney Peters; and aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Dorothy was born in Milberta (New Liskeard), Ontario, June 21, 1921. Upon marriage, she settled in Leamington where she lived until July 2014. She took pride in being a homemaker. Dorothy and Bob both loved to travel and enjoyed many trips all over North America and abroad. She had been an active member of the United Church, involved with the UCW, Messengers, and Junior Choir. She had a talent for sewing, gardening, cooking and refinishing furniture. She also developed a love for genealogy researching and recording family history. Dorothy was also involved with many charities throughout her life.

We owe a great deal of thanks to many but would like to acknowledge Susan and Ken Cosford, who we consider family and who were always there when needed; Innes and Brenda Malcolm for their friendship to Mom while she was still in her home. As well, thank you to the many staff at Chartwell Trilogy who made her stay as comfortable as possible, and to Maureen Hodder for her compassion and care.

Visitation will be at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-3262631) on Thursday, July 7, 2016 from 10:00 a.m. until time of the Funeral Service in celebration of Dorothy’s life at 11:00 a.m. Rev. Paul Rodey officiating. Interment at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery.

Under rather ideal weather conditions July 2-3, the Leamington Arts Centre’s 24th annual Arts @ the Marina took over Rick Atkin Park, featuring the works of 54 artists and craftsmen.

Organizer Chad Riley was predicting great crowds for the entire weekend and was pleased with the variety of work available and the weather for this year’s event. He said there were paintings, photographs, pottery, woodworking, jewelry and refreshments available for purchase, as well as entertainment and face painting for the crowds who descended on the marina for the holiday weekend show.

barbecue, sponsored by the home together with the Ladies Auxiliary, featured the Majestic Brass Quintet, door prizes and a tasty meal of burgers, potato salad, coleslaw, watermelon and cookies. Helping to serve, from left to right, were Mary Rempel, Mary Janzen, Erna Schachowskoy, Erna Tiessen and Kyle Brown.

Gregory Building sold

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent In 2004, the Municipality of Leamington bought the Gregory Building at 43 Mill Street West for $150,000. The idea at the time was to tear it down to build a live theatre venue attached to what is now the Leamington Arts Centre.

With the acquisition of the Bank of Montreal building, and the decision to make it the performing arts centre for Leamington, the original plan was abandoned, and eventually the question arose what to do with it.

The architecture of this building, built as a garage and office for Gregory Farms back in 1911, is a reminder of a by-gone time, and nobody wanted to see it demolished. However, the structure needed a huge amount of renovation to be of use. Hence the decision to let a Request for Proposals in March of this year, to see if private enterprise could envision a use and a way to preserve it, if possible.

The results of that initiative were in back in April, and Leamington administration has reviewed them and selected one as desirable: to convert the building into a bistro. It is estimated that the work on the building necessary to bring it up to code and transform its interior into an attractive venue will cost almost $150,000, far more than the appraised value from 2013 of $58,000.

Consequently, administration has recommended to Council that the Gregory Building be sold for a token amount with the undertak-

ing that the work promised in the proposal will be done.

Scott and Lisa Bradt, owners of Bradt’s Butcher Block at 34 Mill, were invited to address Council at the July 4 meeting to give everyone a taste of what they envision for the property.

They emphasized that they want to develop a locally inspired café, bistro and gift shop. It is their hope to be a

certified local food business where tourists can come to get a taste of local products, and to open a gift shop with high quality products at reasonable prices. They communicated enthusiastic support for uptown Leamington and are confident in the financial gamble they are making.

Council supported the purchase.

Council Report for July 4

Land maintenance by-law passed

A municipality can only enact by-laws that some Provincial or Federal law permits it to enact. These pieces of legislation, however, are explicit in the scope of powers the municipality is given. This is especially apparent when it relates to private property.

The Building Code Act confers the authority on a municipality to pass a Property Standards By-law. This allows the municipality to set standards for the maintenance and occupancy of property (and the power to enter the property and enforce any work orders). The Municipal Act confers a separate authority to pass what is called a Land Maintenance By-law. This is a by-law that requires landowners

to keep the land clean and clear of debris and refuse. The Property Standards By-law decisions can be appealed; the Land Maintenance By-law decisions cannot.

Leamington’s Director of Legal and Legislative Services, Ruth Orton, has recommended an amendment to Leamington’s Land Maintenance By-law: the authority to issue an order which would apply to a property for a one year term, including a $100 fee for non-compliance. It is argued that this would be an enhanced incentive for owners to ensure their properties continue to be maintained to the standards set by Municipal Council.

The recommendation to attach a year’s compulsion to the Land Maintenance By-Law was passed unanimously by Council at the July 4 meeting.

New business licencing by-law proposed Since 2005 the Municipality of Leamington has had a Registry of Businesses established by a by-law that requires businesses to submit a registration form before they operate within Leamington. According to a report from the Municipal Clerk and Manager of Legislative Services, Brenda Percy, “The registry does not satisfy the needs of the Municipality.”

After a detailed explanation of what is allowed and forbidden under the Municipal Act, and a description of the benefits of a change, Council was being asked at the July 4 meeting to support the creation of a business licencing by-law.

The report also specifies three situations that the Municipality cannot licence: manufacturing (unless it sells its products or raw materials by retail); wholesale sales; and natural resource-based businesses. The other limitation is “a municipality shall not, except as otherwise provided, refuse to grant a licence for a business by reason only of the location of the business.”

The Clerk indicated that there will be no ‘legal non1843 conforming’ status with regard to business licences. If standards are not met, then changes in the business must be made.

Continuing along this line, Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald mentioned to all members present that Council will have to “stand strong” in order to put ‘teeth’ in the by-law.

The motion was passed unanimously.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there is much you want others to know about you this week, but you’re not ready to share all of the details just yet. Continue to bide your time, sharing only when it feels right.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your magnetism can draw others to you like a moth to a flame, and that has helped you establish lasting friendships and build strong relationships. Cherish your good fortune.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 There’s not much you can do to change a current situation, Taurus.

Step away for a bit and let the pieces fall where they may. Then you can develop a strategy.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your super sense of humor is on full display this week, when you have an opportunity to be the life of a party. Spend as much time in the limelight as you can.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You have a new goal this week, Gemini, but others are not as receptive to your ideas as you hoped they would be. You may need to fine tune things. Be persistent.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, resolve to make the most of this week even if it seems difficult to do so. Seek support from friends or family members willing to lend an ear or a helping hand.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few moments to recharge this week. You have been going at a breakneck pace for too long, and now it’s time to slow things down. Use some vacation time if you can.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others are routinely drawn to your unique personality. Make the most of others’ warm reception and do your best to return the favor whenever you can.

ANSWERS ON PAGE 18

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you want to get things accomplished this week, you may have to do them yourself. Going it alone may require a lot of work, but you are up to the challenge.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, so much is going on that the week seems like it may stretch on forever. Just take things one day at a time and enjoy your full schedule while it lasts.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take some time for yourself this week, Aquarius. You have earned a little R&R, and now is the perfect time to prioritize some fun and excitement.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, channel your creative energy into a special project. Invite others to join in the project and let things go where your creativity takes you.

In mid-June, the Municipality of Leamington received a request to permit a trailer to be used as a produce stand on the vacant land on the south side of Talbot Street East. The vacant lot is between Talbot and Gerrard, just west of Wigle Street, and was once a car dealership lot.

The property is zoned C1 (central commercial district) which does not permit a produce or fruit stand.

The application came about as a result of the fruit stand experiment being shut down by by-law enforcement in early June. The owner was told to either obtain a Temporary Use By-law exemption (with appropriate site plan agreement) or to apply for a licence as a mobile vendor (so long as all the requirements were met). The licence to operate as a mobile vendor was issued, but that included the provision that only one trailer could be set up.

Later, acting on complaints, by-law enforcement discovered two trailers and display tables had been set up, and the officers advised the owner to cease operating the business from the second trailer, so an application was made for the second trailer.

At the time of the Council meeting on Monday evening, July 4, Leamington’s Director of Legal and Legislative matters said that she had been in discussions with the owner and believed that the matter could be amicably resolved. She asked that Municipal Council receive the report for information and take no further action.

BUSINESS PROFILE BUSINESS PROFILE BUSINESS PROFILE

Clear Hearing Centre opens in Leamington Her interest in the world of hearing—and more specifically, hearing loss, began quite innocently 12 years ago. It was a simple appointment with her nana, when Melissa Beardsley was only 15, that convinced her that a career that can change the outlook and lives for those with a hearing impairment—was her dream.

Witnessing the efforts and successful fitting of her own nana with a hearing aid, made her realize at a young age how hearing aids can improve the quality of life and reduce the frustrations of those experiencing hearing loss. And it was a co-op placement at a hearing clinic as a Grade 12 student that confirmed her choice of career path.

Now at just 27, with 10 years’ experience in the field, Beardsley has brought a tremendous passion and love of her career as a hearing instrument specialist to the residents of Leamington.

Clear Hearing Centre opened its doors on Monday at 243 Erie St. S., Unit 3. It’s a big jump for Beardsley, “but I thought it was time to venture off on my own,” she said as the owner of the newest business to open in Leamington.

The North Moxi Fit hearing aid.

She is excited about the prospect of getting to know the people of Leamington—but is even more excited about seeing the reaction on their faces

A decade of experience

when they are able to hear clearly again.

Beardsley said she will offer free hearing tests to those 18 and over and service hearing aids of any make or model. She will also offer a very unique service to a special group of prospective clients— Beardsley will make house calls.

For those unable to make the trip to see her for their hearing needs—Beardsley will pay them a visit at their home, at a retirement home or at a nursing home.

For Beardsley this is an extremely important service—one not often provided, but certainly important since the elderly make up the majority of her clientele.

Melissa Beardsley at the controls in the hearing booth at the recently opened Clear Hearing Centre in Leamington.

But she said, hearing loss is certainly not restricted to the aging population. She said she has recommended hearing aids to those as young as 20.

“Hearing loss isn’t based on age,” she said. And she said the procedure is relatively simple. You come in and have a short meeting with Beardsley to discuss your difficulties. From there she does a comprehensive hearing test, she then reviews the results with the client and makes a recommendation based on the hearing test and the earlier discussion.

And while Beardsley admits hearing aids were once conspicuous and a bit clunky, she said the technology has come a long way.

She said they are now much more inconspicuous, can be programmed on the computer and are Blue-

tooth compatible to allow them to hear their cell phone or television right through their hearing aids.

Beardsley said the majority are also self-adjusting to the environment—making for hassle-free hearing for the client, wherever they are.

She recommends anyone, 18 and over, experiencing difficulty hearing--especially those who work in a noisy environment, have nothing to lose by paying her a visit. In fact, a simple hearing test could make a world of difference in their everyday life, she said.

Her hours are Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Saturday by appointment.

What’s on the tube?

Ladies 18 hole golf

My memory’s more than a bit fuzzy, but I still vaguely remember watching a National Hockey League game in its entirety on television for the first time.

We’re talking about the early 1980s here, so access to a thousand different channels via satellite or cable wasn’t an option. Like most other households at the time, the CBC’s Hockey Night In Canada was the only option, meaning everyone in Southwestern Ontario was stuck watching Leafs games every Saturday night. Still, as we Toronto haters were hardcore hockey fans like anyone else in the Great White North, we were content to watch the likes of Rick Vaive, Walt McKechnie (who I met in person several years later), Borje Salming, Daryl Sittler et al take on whomever was about to depart from Maple Leaf Gardens with another two points.

Wheatley women’s ball hockey resumed on Monday, January 16, 1982 was supposed to be a dream come true June 27 as the Car Barn beat Anthony Keats 4-0. Scoring for fans like myself who were all caught up in Gretzkyfor Car Barn was Jessica Duchene, Sarah Sharon (Whittal), mania. That was the year he had broken Marcel Dionne’s Jenn Cardoda and all the way from Calgary, Alberta was 50 goal record, reaching the seasonal milestone in just 39 Laura Epp who scored one goal while sparing for the Car games. Surely, a night in Hogtown would be a productive Barn. one for the Oilers.

In the second game it was a very close match between first Or not. and second place teams Journal and Johnston Net 7 Twine.

The Leafs thumped Edmonton 7-1. Cameras were on the The Journal managed to sneak one in by Kerra Gradwell, Great One for every second of every shift, not to mention which was the only goal of the 1-0 game. a few seconds of him catching breathers on the bench. The Oilers’ lone goal was potted by Gretzky, but that didn’t do a lot to appease those of us rooting for the blue, orange and white.

Television-derived disappointment hasn’t exactly become a rarity for the Canadian hockey fan. Rogers sunk a crazy multi-million dollar investment in exchange for broadcasting rights from the NHL, only to take a massive hit after each member of The Sorry Seven failed to make the post season this year. Viewership ratings apparently bombed on both sides of the border throughout the 2016 playoffs, but Direct billing for most insurance companies. that hasn’t stopped the Bettman Brigade from marching onward with the massive failure that has been the southward Ground Floor Office 121 Talbot St. E.

automotive giants, international soft drink companies, big box store retailers and so on. Last year’s Super Bowl offered 30 second advertisements for the bewildering cost of $4.5 million. That’s more than 100 times BRYAN the price of a 30-secJESSOP ond spot for Super Bowl I in 1967. Don’t blame inflation — if Jessop’s that were the cause, a new economy car Journal with a modest list of options would run you somewhere in the neighbourhood of $250,000.

Bettman and crew seem to think that the bigger the city, the more people that will tune in to watch an NHL game — which of course indirectly translates to more money in the NHL’s pockets. To a limited extent, it’s true. The New York Rangers are the most financially valuable team in the league almost entirely because of the sheer size of The Big Apple. Even with a per capita level of interest in professional hockey that’s MUCH lower than it is in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, etc., New York City’s massive population more than compensates for the Rangers’ inability to divert attention from the Jets, Giants, Yankees, Mets and Knicks.

Obviously, Vegas and surrounding area is exponentially larger than Quebec City and its encompassing ‘burbs. Apparently, that’s good enough for the NHL, which voted in Vegas as Team #31 in a unanimous vote of 30-0. Quebec City, naturally, has been “deferred,” meaning that it’s only chance in hell is if another southern team’s arena owner gives it the bum’s rush and there’s nowhere else to go (i.e. the Thrashers to Winnipeg in 2011).

What’s not helping matters for traditional fans such as myself is that even north of the 49th, television viewership numbers are dropping. It’s not just the lack of Canadian teams making playoff appearances. Apparently, the game doesn’t have the ‘star power’ it once boasted. Sure, Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, McDavid, Datsyuk and so on can light up the lamp, but there’s a consistent inability for many of those players to provide a balance between the hype and productivity. Gretzky, Bossy, Lemieux, Lafleur and Yzerman always seemed to deliver when called upon to do so.

The advent of the neutral zone trap hasn’t done much for the excitement level of the game and let’s face it — clamping down on fighting hasn’t done much to retain the interest of fans further south. I suspect the novelty of watching a game on a smart phone, tablet, laptop or other “device” is a long ways from wearing off. There isn’t a television screen in my house big enough to impress anyone 40 years ago, but I’d still rather catch a game on my idiot box than my already outdated Galaxy S4. More intimidated than impressed by breakthrough technology (I didn’t own my CD player until 1993 or my first fuel injected vehicle until 1998), it seems I’m in the minority.

Midget Lakers trounce Hawks 17-1 On Thursday the Leamington Midget Lakers defeated the Walker Homesites Minor Hawks team 17-1 in Sun Parlour league play.

Walker Homesite drew first blood when they scored a run in the top of the first inning. The Lakers then scored 17 unanswered runs in the mercy shortened game.

Brett Enns earned the win giving up only two hits, walking one and striking out 5 Hawks batters.

Ryan Wall and James Hiebert led the Lakers offensively with three hits each. Brandon Teichroeb and Dawson Iles had a double and a single.

The Midget Lakers next home game is Thursday, July 7 at 7 p.m. against the Wyoming Wranglers at the Kinsmen Baseball Complex

Progs golfers enjoy cooler temps Much cooler temperatures were appreciated by 59 proggers at Erie Shores golf course on June 27.

Once again proggers had a luck of the draw event. Team D had most of the plus scores, romping over the other 3 teams. Bob Dick, Dan McQueen, Dave Wilkinson, Ken Steingart, Bill Gherasim, Frank Gow, Larry Roberts, Brett Madden, Roger Cote, Bill Slater, Steve O’Hara, Ed Schachowskoy, Kevin Shaften, Harry Badz and Ward Hutchins were the $10 winners. Don’t spend it all in one place.

The best golfer with +8 was Bill Stackpoole. He claimed $20 for his efforts. Six dollars each was awarded to Bill Gherasim, Frank Gow, Roger Cote and Steve O’Hara for their +5s.

In the skins game, $16 was awarded for each skin. Dan McQueen jarred an eagle on #2. There was a lot of happy hollering and celebrating over that. Mrs. McQueen will be happy for the monetary reward. Other winners include Bill Stackpoole, Jim Sudds, Brett Madden and Ron Koop.

John Penner had a couple of interesting shots. On hole #5, John’s ball almost landed in the ditch by the cart path.

What prevented the ball from going in was a fairly substantial dandelion. John blasted the dandelion and ball. It cut hard to the right onto the green. A great shot from a most difficult position.

John’s other shot occurred on #10. John’s ball lay in the fairway about 90 yards from the flag. John used his sand wedge. It struck the ball in an unusual way where it was in the air for only a foot, then rode the grass all the way to within 8 feet of the flag. Unfortunately, the birdie putt was missed.

Another player in the group, Ken Steingart, had a near eagle on #12. Ken was only about 50 yards from the flag.

With stellar touch, Ken forwarded the ball which hit the flag pole. The ball fell straight down, sitting at the edge of the hole. Those watching could not believe that the ball did not drop in.

So close.

Mike Herbert’s yellow ball had a hankering for Gord Anderson’s orange golf bag. There were two instances where Mike’s ball was right by the wheel of Gord’s cart. One time the ball was chasing Gord’s bag while he was pushing it down the fairway. You can see I’m chasing for stories here.

On a final note, Bill Gherasim is now the new owner of the 3 putt snake. He has promised to decorate his bag and cart to commemorate the occasion

Midgets place 2nd in LaSalle tourney The Leamington Midget Lakers dropped a 5-4 decision in extra innings to the LaSalle Titan Majors on Sunday afternoon in the championship game of the Canada Day weekend LaSalle Titan Midget Tournament.

The Lakers advanced to the final with an exciting 5-4 eighth inning walk-off win against Ajax on Sunday morning.

In round robin play Leamington went undefeated, beating the LaSalle Titan Minors 7-0 on Friday evening, shutting out North London Majors 10-0 on Saturday afternoon, and then claimed the number one seed in their division with a 10-0 mercy shortened win over Belle River.

In the title contest the Lakers gave up four runs in the bottom of the first, bounced back with three of their own in the second and tied things up in the seventh inning.

Kameron Wall came on in relief in the first inning to shut down LaSalle over 7 innings. Anthony Fehr tied the game up with a bunt single, beating out the throw and then advancing to third on a LaSalle throwing error. He then scored on Kyle Wall’s sacrifice fly.

In the thrilling semi-final, Ryan Wall scored from third to end the game on a squeeze play as the ball skipped by the Ajax catcher. Brandon Teichroeb and Fehr led the offense with three hits each.

James Hiebert and Lucas Lamotte shared the pitching duties “Our pitching and defense was the real highlight of the round-robin play,” said coach Chris Lamotte. “We didn’t give up any runs and got strong pitching performances from all four pitchers we used.”

Hiebert, Kameron Wall, Lamotte and Brett Enns all took to the mound in the three games.

Against North London, it was a Dawson Iles triple that opened the floodgates for the Lakers win. In the game against Belle River the Lakers defense survived a one out bases loaded threat in both the first and second inning. Ryan Wall led the way with two hits. Aidan Massad and Fehr both scored twice.

“I guess it was baseball karma,” added coach Terry Misener. “It was a couple lucky bounces that got us the semi-final win and a couple unlucky bounces that cost us the championship game.”

The Leamington Midget Lakers include Derrick Antunes, Brett Enns, Anthony Fehr, Ryan Gates, Emilio Gomez, James Hiebert, Dawson Iles, Lucas Lamotte, Aidan Massad, Brandon Teichroeb, Kameron Wall, Kyle Wall and Ryan Wall.

Don Willan, currently living in Leamington, displays plaques for the 1973 Western Counties and Ontario Baseball Association peewee champions and a plaque from Wheatley Minor Baseball honouring his efforts as umpire in chief for the 1980 season.

Willian coached the 1973 peewee team and also won an OBA title as a player with the 1956 Wheatley juvenile team.

The success Willan’s teams experienced through the years to assist with preparing for the unique addition to this year’s included an Ontario Baseball Association championship Wheatley Fish Festival.

Willan’s introduction to Wheatley minor baseball began with the juvenile squad in 1956. In the finals, Wheatley deas a young spectator in the late 1940s, the time he describes feated Wellington — in the Kingston area — in two straight as the beginning of the ‘modern era’ of the organization. games. The provincial title was one of dozens earned by During that era, peewee was the introductory age division Wheatley teams throughout the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and for players rather than tyke. At the age of 11 in 1950, Willan into the early 1990s before the WMBA ceased operations began playing for a peewee team made up of players from upon completion of the 1997 season.

“Early on, there was no arena and no golf course,” Wiland near the 10th Concession. Coached by Bill Beattie, who provided a pasture on his 10th Concession dairy farm as the lan explained. “Baseball was the only game in town, so team’s practice site, Willan and his rural teammates played that’s what you did in the summer. The success had a lot to in a division of three teams that also included Wheatley and do with old-time coaching. Back then, when your playing days were over, you’d coach because the game was in your blood. We had great coaches like Lynn Foster, Brad Bailey, Robert Baker, Alf Whaley, Bill Wright, Phil Cox, Harold Baker, Bill Beattie, Don Robinson… the list goes on and on.”

Willan’s days as a player wrapped up at the age of 22, a short time before marrying his wife Geraldine in 1963.

These men were very dedicated through all those years.”

WMBA alumni looking TT senior golfers improve

By Bob McLean forward to reunion The somewhat cool but refreshing weather on Tuesday, (Continued from page 16) ments to have local umpires attend winter clinics before taking written tests to acquire OBA accreditation — a successful process that allowed Wheatley to host OBA tournaments a short time later. From there, as umpire in chief in the late 1970s-early ‘80s, Willan acquired game schedules from local coaches to assign specific games to umpires and therefore relieve coaches of that particular responsibility. He recalled working alongside talented local umpires in the Wheatley-Leamington area including Harvey Wiltchire, Ardel MacIntyre and Bill Bowden. He recalled MacIntyre, who was also Mersea’s chief of police, letting coaches know during pre-game consultations at home plate that he would not tolerate cursing or the throwing of bats or helmets.

“One coach told him that they’d need some kind of warning, and Big Mac told him ‘you just got it’,” Willan recalled with a laugh. “I really enjoyed umping, especially with the younger teams and I always took pride in coaching, teaching the basic things.”

Willan recalled the OBAs switching to a tournament style for each letter classification in the mid 1970s, paving the way for the 1975 Robinson Motorcycle Wheatley bantams to meet and defeat Sudbury in the championships — at the same time, letter classifications went from being assessed according to the size of a team’s community to how it performed during the regular season.

Willan also remembers the 1993 Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion peewees, led by coach Dick Segedin — the last Wheatley team to capture an OBA title. The organization disbanded permanently in January of 1998.

“I never thought I’d see that happen in my lifetime,” Willan said of the WMBA’s demise. “It was so successful.”

To this day, Willan continues to randomly meet former players he coached in Wheatley as well as old teammates and fellow umpires. He plans to bring some of his photos and other moments to the WMBA reunion during Fish Fest. Guests bringing memorabilia to the event are asked to show up around noon so that the items can be set up on display tables.

Thus far, plans of the reunion have captured the attention of several local former players, coaches and volunteers. Information on the event can be found on its Facebook page.

PLUMBERGASMAN Retired Master Plumber/Gas Fitter Over 30 years experience

June 28 seemed to bring out the best scores of the season for a number of Talbot Trail senior golfers. Two of the newest players took top honours on the closest to the pin and long putt.

Jamie Arquette’s excellent shot to within 6 feet of the pin on #9 topped the field. Ed Fraser converted a masterful long putt on #2 to take the win. The low score for the day was a 36. Read on to see if your guess was correct.

In the 50-67y division, steady playing Jerry Omstead continued his terrific play by firing a 39. Ken Krueger’s excellent 40 took second place. Both Jim Pearson and John Liddell had impressive scores of 41 and 42 respectively. Art Regehr continued his superb play by shooting a 43. Dave Clark played very well as he achieved a very commendable 44. Solid 45s were earned by Terry Scratch, Kevin Jordan and Larry Hughes. Howard Mulrain scored his best result as he came in with a sweet 46. Other scores less than 50 in no particular order came from Dave Overholt, Jamie Arquette, John Blood, Bummy and David Tonks. Wiz merited a nifty 50!

In the 68-72y division, the mystery 36 shooter was Dutchy.

Jim has consistently shot outstanding scores each week. Pat Hill came in second with his impressive 40. Gary Benninger fired his best round of the season as he captured third place with his excellent 42. Solid 43s went to Paul Harrison, Rick Thompson and Bob McLean. Both Bill Ward and Ray La Pierre achieved gratifying 44s. Other praiseworthy scores less than 50 went to Al Zanuttini, Eugene Abbruzzese, Mike Getty, Richard Humber, Gartnet Fox, Ray Foster, Jerry Paine, Larry Schmidt and Mac Hyatt. Doug Langlois scored a nifty 50!

Long hitter, Mike Wright, took top spot in the 73-79y division as he fired a masterful 39. Two shots back with their own terrific 41s were Vic Reynaert and Bob Scott. Steady playing Joe Vertel and Paul Brown earned impressive 42 and 43 results respectively. Three players who had satisfying scores of 45 were Andy Orsini, Pete Daudlin and Ross MacKintosh. Other commendable results were achieved

by Terry Bee, Don Willan, Stan Balsam, Gary Wilson and Brian Moffat.

League members wish Carl Robinson a speedy recovery so he can get back to the game he loves to play. I heard a rumour recently that ‘Down the Middle’ Knox could be returning soon!

Walter Balsam led all the 80-84y olds with his excellent 44. Both Bob Freure and Ed Woelk played impressive golf as they scored 48 and 49 respectively. Fred Takaki, Gerry Becigneul and Bill Edwards were a few shots back with their own fine results.

Dave LaBonte led the super seniors (85y+) by shooting a masterful 46. Dave Krueger came second with his inspiring 49. Scotsman Bill Westrop had the right stuff as he merited a nifty 50! Murray Cascadden and Orvillie Ellwood also played very satisfying games.

St. Louis school holds graduation ceremony

SODUKU ANSWERS

Proposed change to speed limit defeated

Administration has recommended to Leamington Council that the speed limit on Mersea Road 6 be reduced from 80 km/h to 60 km/h from just west of the Bruner Road to where it is posted as 50 km/h just west of the municipal trail (the former rail line west of Highway 77). This change, which is expected to cost about $2,000 to sign and implement was prompted by a request from a resident, and then confirmed through on-site analysis using the Transportation Association of Canada standards published in the reference the municipality uses for all its roads, “Canadian Guidelines for Establishing Posted Speed Limits”.

Before the matter came to a vote at the July 4 Council meeting, Councillor Tim Wilkinson asked if the request came from residents of Road 6. The answer was no; however, the request came from residents in the immediate area.

Councillor Larry Verbeke said that he would not support one section of road having three invites you to different speeds: 80 at the town line, then 60, our then 50. Furthercheck out more, he asked if it was just a matter of time WEBSITE ATthat all the other concessions would have their speed limits reduced because of the trail crossing them.

Councillor Bill Dunn asked how many complaints there Read The Sun Every Week Online! were, and was told one, but the recommendation was generated not because of the complaint but rather because of safe speeds planning.

Abe Fehr, who lives in the area, was allowed to address Council and said he would preinvites fer not having the speed limit you to check lowered as proposed.

When it came to a vote by out our website at Council, the matter was dewww.southpointsun.ca feated.

1967 Plymouth Barracuda still with original owner Bryon Moore of Belle River is a Maple Leaf fan who still remembers the last year his favourite hockey team won the Stanley Cup. It was 1967.

Bryon That’s when Bryon ordered a Moore’s 1967 new 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Barracuda. from Central Plymouth-Chrysler at 970 Goyeau Street in Windsor on Saturday, January 7, 1967. He still has the card from the salesman, Howard Hicks. He ordered a Bright Blue Metallic fastback hardtop with the 273 V8 High-Performance engine, 4-speed on the floor, tachometer, bucket seats, white interior, and a Posi rear end.

The full price was $4383 but his ’61 Valiant trade-in brought it down to $3,365.

At the time, a friend owned a ’65 Barracuda and Bryon wanted to buy it but it was not for sale. He looked at a Mustang and Cougar but liked the Barracuda with its sporty styling and huge back seat which can be folded flat into a bed. This was ideal when his family came along because the kids could stretch out in the back while watching a drive-in movie.

Bryon drove the car most days until June 1970, when he and Jeanette were married. She liked the Barracuda and they decided to get another ’61 Valiant so the Barracuda could stay off the road in winter. It then became a spring-summer-fall car and was driven every year as a second family car into the 1990s, when a less expensive insurance policy provided for continued use on a more limited basis.

Baked Goods and Bracelet Sale for the Parkinson’s Society Several Gore Hill Public School students recently decided to host a Baked Goods and Bracelet Sale. Students were able to raise a grand total of $143.40. The funds will be donated to the Parkinson’s Society. From left to right are Grade 4/5 students Trinity Sauve, Emma Brimner, Sydney Enns, Emily Froese and Ryan Klassen preparing for the event. (Submitted photo)

About two years ago, Bryon found an original pair of 1967 Ontario license plates (Confederation plates) with the wax paper still between them! But the number was already on a trailer. Then closer to home, Bryon met a man who made a vinyl pair identical to his original plates and with his original number: 959-588.

Bryon displays these plates on his car whenever he takes it to car shows, which have included Car Crazy in Amherstburg, Apple Fest at Colasanti’s in Ruthven, the Leamington Tomato Festival Car Show, the Sun Splash Car Show in Belle River, and the Old Autos Car Show and flea market in Bothwell.

Bryon’s Barracuda has now been painted three times, always in the original colour (or close to it). Minimal rust on the body has now been eliminated. Some interior chrome trim has been replaced. Original red line tires were later replaced with tires with white raised lettering, then later a third set back to red line again in 2014.

Bryon has two complete sets of hubcaps. Fancy wheel covers advertised but not available when he bought the car have now been installed, thanks to a set purchased in California.

These take turns with his set of chrome rims with baby moons being on the car. Bryon’s Barracuda now has about 75,000 miles (not kilometers) showing on the odometer. Bryon does all his own cleanup and detailing, living proof that his car went to a good home.
