By Bryan Jessop Time-honoured classics and new attractions alike will be featured during the 166th annual Leamington Fair.

This year, some elements of the fair will return with a different start time, slightly different location, in bigger and better formats or for the first time ever. Mostly unchanged segments of the annual event include the Hottest Tomato Contest, the wide assortment of vendors, petting zoo and pony rides, livestock displays, culinary competitions, antique tractors display and massive youth art gallery — to name a few.

Friday events including the opening ceremonies and harness horse racing will start earlier than usual.

Opening ceremonies will again be conducted in front of the Jeanette Mulholland Memorial Building, but will begin at 4 p.m. to introduce dignitaries, volunteers and announce this year’s Leamington Fair Ambassador.

The horse races — briefly rescheduled for a Sunday afternoon time slot before being re-designated to Friday — will feature a 5 p.m.

Friday post time instead of 7 p.m. Anyone with a horse he or she wishes to enter in the Friday racing program can contact the Fairgrounds at 519-326-8082. The registration deadline is 10 a.m.

“rock solid” groundbreaking on Thursday, June 5.

It was an historic day, with the groundbreaking and capital campaign kick-off for the new 10bed Erie Shores Campus Hospice residential home located across from Leamington District Memorial Hospital on a 3.4acre parcel of land.

More than 350 of Essex County’s residents, officials and business owners attended the fundraising campaign kick-off, where close to $500,000 in cash donations for room naming rights were presented to the Campaign Cabinet. In addition to the 13 individual donations, Leamington Medical Village (Amicone Partners) donated 3.4 acres of land where the 10-bed facility will be located to the north end of a proposed multi community and medical services campus.

County Warden Tom Bain and Leamington Mayor John Paterson presented a 10-year pledge of $2,000,000 from County Council towards the $6,000,000 capital campaign goal. In recognition of the overwhelming support on behalf of the County and residents, a 1.5 billion year old granite rock was presented to County Council by the campaign committee which will be erected in front of the new hospice facility once completed in Spring of 2015. “This outstanding rock is a symbol of the support from the Essex County commu-

As a result of a family member receiving care at Windsor Regional Hospital’s Ouellette Campus through the stroke program, Lee and Maria Mastronardi wanted to give back in appreciation of that support.

Stroke is a devastating disease, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and is an expensive disease to treat. There are more than 88,000 individuals living with stroke in Ontario.

“The Windsor Essex District Stroke Program has a dedicated and expert multidisciplinary strokecare team with strong, evidence-based care for stroke patients,” states Denise St. Louis, Interim District Stroke Coordinator. “The program has enhanced clinical practices, new imaging technologies, new treatments, increased awareness and education, improved intervention and rehabilitation programs, all having a positive impact on stroke outcomes.”

Leamington Fair this weekend (Continued from Front) format both Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in front of the Fairgrounds’ Activity Centre. There will also be an information booth attended by a direct descendant of Chief Tecumseh, who died in the Battle of the Thames during the War of 1812.

Carter Shows will bring back its successful games and rides, including a return for “The Polar Express.” Leamington and District Agricultural Society president Tammy Wiper explained that the demand for the ride’s return has been widespread since its absence from the fair.

Legends of Wrestling will also return following their premier Leamington Fair presentations last year. This year, their matches will begin Saturday at 2 p.m. in front of the grandstands.

For the first time, the Leamington Fair will feature a Saturday-night concert featuring live, local acts. Jody Raffoul will perform along with his son Billy’s band, although it is not yet certain if Billy will also take to the stage. Bob Gabriele will also play, as will Takers and Leavers. The concert will take place in front of the grandstands.

“Our local artists are the best of the best,” Wiper said.

“There’s a lot of great talent out there.”

The concert is sponsored by Blackburn Radio and may include more acts added to the line-up.

Saturday will be designated as “Children’s Day” and feature the raffle giveaway of 20 new bicycles. This year’s bike raffle will be Saturday only. The 5,000 artistic entries of local students were put on display in advance.

Wiper credits the bulk of the preparation to volunteer Angie Hope, who stapled each of the works over a period of 24 hours.

“We couldn’t ask for a better volunteer,” Wiper said of Hope. “I wish I could have cloned her. She’s just a trooper.”

At 10 a.m. on Saturday, the fair will host a kids’ pet show to be judged by Martin Teskey and Reg Mulholland. All entries will receive a prize.

Home craft and antique items will be displayed in the Farmers’ Market building beginning Friday. This year, Reg Mulholland is loaning 12 quilts made by his wife Jeanette to be included among the displays.

Although it had previously been omitted from this year’s itinerary, the annual Leamington Fair Demolition Derby will actually return for Sunday afternoon, albeit at a later — 2:30 p.m. — start time. It will be preceded by Jimmy G’s Hypnotic Show at 1 p.m.

“He’s really fun,” said Wiper, who has seen Jimmy G’s act. “You’ll crack right up laughing at what he can make people do.”

The antique tractor parade will begin at 2:15 p.m.

Sunday.

Comrie, Burns, Monteiro honoured

By Bryan Jessop Three occupants who died after the boat they were travelling in crashed into the Leamington Municipal breakwall were once again honoured by family and friends, three years after the tragic collision.

Andrew Comrie, his girlfriend Sarah Burns and Danny Monteiro suffered fatal injuries stemming from the crash on June 5, 2011. One year later, Andrew’s brother Pete Comrie decided to dedicate a memorial at the breakwall close to the crash site, tying three bunches of 100 helium balloons to cinder blocks for other boaters to see as they departed or arrived at the local marina.

With ideal weather conditions, the absence of waves made it easy for Comrie to set up the three assortments of balloons — one for each of the deceased — without difficulty. Last year, wind conditions were not so cooperative, forcing the Grand Prairie, AB, resident to instead release the 300 balloons from a boat that had to settle for simply getting within close proximity to the breakwall.

“We actually found it to be more meaningful that way,” Pete explained. “It’s something we’ll do every year. It means a lot to everyone involved. It’s a long day for everyone and it’s very emotional, but it brings us all closer together.”

Each year, an average of 25-30 friends and family members of Andrew, Sarah and Danny take part in the tradition. Pete, who lived in Blenheim before moving to Grand Prairie five years ago, makes sure to travel to

Leamington for a month every year to ensure that the ceremony continues each year. He makes arrangements with family members to coordinate the event several months in advance to ensure that as many people as possible who were close to Andrew, Sarah and Danny are able to attend.

Despite the emotions that come along with visits to Leamington every year, Pete is more than eager to make the trip.

“I really love this town,” he said, noting that since the tragedy, his brother’s friends have become close friends of his own.

To this day, Pete still owns the house his brother lived in and owned. The home was severely damaged by the tornado that tore through Leamington a year earlier, but Pete ensured that the necessary work was done to have it restored. Each year, the tribute begins with the short trip from the Park Street house to the Marina, where the group launches their boats and heads off to the breakwall.

While Pete heads out into the water with Danny’s two brothers and their wives along with others, some family members watch the balloon release from the marina.

Danny and Andrew were best friends while Pete explains that Andrew and Sarah were nearing engagement. Andrew, 33 at the time of the collision, was head chef of Armando’s Restaurant.

Balloon release Three hundred balloons were released by friends and family members of Andrew Comrie, Sarah Burns and Danny Monteiro at the Leamington Marina breakwall near the scene of the fatal boat crash where the three died on June 5 of 2011. The tradition began on the first anniversary of the tragedy, organized by Comrie’s brother Pete Comrie.

Drain repairs Leamington’s Drainage Superintendent Lu-Ann Barreto got Council approval Monday night, June 9, to appoint N.J. Peralta Engineering to do a Section 78 project to repair and improve the E.J. Stockwell Drain. (Section 78 of the Drainage Act is the section that makes it the municipality’s responsibility to keep an agricultural drain in repair, and permits the municipality to appoint a Drainage Engineer to start the work without a petition from the landowners.)

The capital budget contained an estimate of $60,000 for this work; however, the report presented to Council reminded them that this is only an estimate, and a better idea of the final cost will not be possible until a site meeting is held with the abutting landowners.

Last year, a branch of the drain ruptured under Hodgins Street and created a large sinkhole. This is only part of the problem with a drain that was last studied in the 1970s.

Yes an island, unto ourselves Have you ever considered yourself as an island unto itself? We are all unique individuals. What is there is there.

Whatever you choose to bring to ‘your island’ should be well thought out, comforting and useful. In the end, you are on your own to figure out how to get rid of the useless and wasteful things.

I figure when we were born our island was nearly as perfect as it could be. Surrounded by those who loved us and cared for us, we were ensured to thrive naturally. The weather, like our temperaments, formed our surface. Over time we became resistant as we slowly adapted, forming a terrain that works best for us. An island forms from the reaction of everything it deals with over time. Volcanos, hurricanes, sunshine, calm, etc. Like an island, each human experiences molding and forming throughout life.

Flowers grow when you flourish; our surface radiates, mirroring to others all that can grow from an inner goodness. Thorns and barren windblown land are the results of life’s harsher realities. Nature’s protective response to jealousy and greed causes good people to change. A learned response is distrust, which simply makes other humans unable to share another’s bounty. It is a gift to be happy for others, to appreciate their ‘up times’ as well as their ‘down times’.

As the surf crashes on one of your banks, a calm can usually be found on the other side, maintaining a sense of balance and keeping you in tune with your entire self; not just the best side but also the one filled with a passionate fury.

Without one, we cannot have the other and together they can fulfill both the passionate desires and the quiet calm needed to live a well-rounded life.

After a tropical storm SHANNON sweeps across, it is amazMATHESON ing to see how choosy devastation can be, taking an entire stand of trees yet leaving behind Lifestyles... one table and a chair. This can’t help but make one BROUGHT TO YOU BY: understand, that although we may nurture and feed and try to live as a ‘whole island’, we have to flow with the ebbs and tides, recovering from the storms that wreak havoc on our surface.

Thankfully, the heart of the ‘human island’ remains and many times rebuilds again, becoming stronger and reacting sensibly. Time brings signs like the dove carrying a fig leaf, a rainbow off in the distance, the stars aligning easily and perfectly, directing you from the core of your being.

Life is a chain of fortunate and misfortunate events. We can choose to grow stronger from the strong winds and learn from the dangerous riptides or stand still and be overtaken by other creatures, humans included. Go with the flow, but don’t just lay back. Strive to be the island that you are and listen to the signs of change.

Facebook is ticking me off...

Facebook is ticking me off right now. I’m tired of the ads that are mysteriously dispersed throughout my Facebook timelines. I don’t want car insurance quotes from Belaire and I don’t care how Kirstie Alley lost 100 pounds in two months eating this one food! It’s ridiculous. I know I shouldn’t complain when Facebook is free, but I think I’d be willing to pay a monthly or yearly subscription to Facebook to not have all the unsolicited ads.

I have over 200 friends on Facebook and believe me some of them post some weird stuff. I’ve been tempted to unfriend a couple who use Facebook to let everyone know, every day that they have found God and we all should start looking for Him ourselves… Really, I don’t want to be preached to on Facebook. I want to see friends having fun and sharing some whimsical stories about their weekends or pensive thoughts for the day. I especially like the posting with encouraging quotes and aspirations. Some are pretty cheesy, but I like cheesy.

What I don’t want to read about is all the games that people are playing. I don’t play, so don’t ask for farm animals, gems, candies, swords or whatever it is you’re playing…

While I’m on a Facebook rant, I also don’t care what

song you are, what gem you are, or what flavour of ice cream are you. I’m continually asked: What animal are you? What colour of the rainbow are you? What song are you? Is anybody else tired of these ridiculous Facebook postings? Somehow I don’t think I trust the science behind these personality-revealing likenesses…

I do feel justified in my Facebook rant since my SHEILA McBRAYNE ball hockey friends and I spend a lot of time discussing all these pet peeves last week after the game. As McThots much as we all complain about Facebook and its short fallings, we all admitted to spending way too much time on Facebook.

Another annoyance of Facebook is that you can’t make a change to your profile without it being announced to all 284 friends – nothing like drawing attention to your situation. I must admit that Facebook has been a friend to me since 2009 - according to my timeline – and never forgets my birthday. I always enjoy checking the birthday messages from friends near and far and old and new.

Leamington Br. 84 Legion news And of course, I’m now of the age when my kids are well into adulthood, so the roles become different and I’m hoping I’ve passed on that implied wisdom and patience that my parents instilled in us.

Meanwhile as I wait to become a grandparent in the very near future, I can only hope that I can be half the grandfather that my dad was and help instill in those little munchkins a sense of pride, family and common sense.

It’s all a crap shoot, they say, but I believe that if you instill some values, chances are they will turn out just fine.

What can you do to help CiB Tidiness

By Catherine Riediger The Leamington Horticultural Society’s 2014 motto “Pride In Leamington” fits perfectly with the Tidiness category for the CiB program. What better way to demonstrate this pride than by taking the time and making the effort to ensure Leamington is viewed as a tidy, clean and beautiful place to call home.

Tidiness: Greg Rice, Committee Chair.

Criteria: This category includes an overall tidiness effort. Elements for evaluation are green spaces (parks, etc.), medians, boulevards, sidewalks, streets, municipal, commercial, institutional and residential properties, ditches, road shoulders, vacant lots and buildings, weed control, litter clean-up (including cigarette butts and gum), graffiti and vandalism programs.

What You Can Do: Pick up litter around your business or home; take down old posters and yard sale signs; keep sidewalks and curbs weed free; touch up weathered paint; adopt a street/road/highway; remove and/or report graffiti.

Current Activity: The Municipality of Leamington has been busy cleaning the winter debris from along the trail, in the parks and the town streets.

Also, area schools have been busy with tidiness. For the last few years, Joan Epp has been having the Margaret D. Bennie Gr. 2 and Gr. 3 students take part in the fall shoreline cleanup at Seacliff Park.

With regard to graffiti, the youth participants of Voices of Youth in Community (VOYC) have expressed an interest in tackling the job of removing the graffiti on the trail behind the Heinz plant. VOYC will be investigating the opportunity of creating murals reflecting the spirit and history of Leamington, similar in concept to their Back Alley Beautification Project in Kingsville. Great idea!

First impressions are very important with regard to tourism, real estate, and business. Cleanliness and tidiness of a town or city are high on the priority list. Let’s all make an effort to show our “Pride in Leamington”.

Leamington home to new 10-bed Erie Shores Hospice

(Continued from Front) Cheryl Deter, Erie Shores Campus, Integrated Director of Patient Services for Erie Shores Hospice & Leamington Hospital, outlined the programs and services that will be offered at the new campus. “Erie Shores Hospice will be customized to meet county needs. We have met with front line staff and families to ensure we maximize the patient and families experience. Everything is County sized: rooms with enhanced views, extra-large family rooms, a dining area that fits who we are and how many there are of us which extends into a garden room.

With our county hospital standing as the “anchor” in our community…. Our Erie Shores Hospice will allow access to Right Care, Right Time, Right at Home.”

The Boards of Leamington Hospital, the Foundation and Hospice of Windsor & Essex County defined how the partnership was formed to raise the capital to build the 10-bed Erie Shores facility with operational funding provided from the Erie-St. Clair Local Health Integrated Network, (LHIN). The new Erie Shores Campus is expected to be built by January 2015.

Erie Shores Hospice Campaign Committee dedicated this granite stone to Essex County Council for its ‘Rock-Solid’ commitment of $2 million towards the new hospice. Pictured here are the mayors of the municipalities in Essex County. From left to right are Nelson Santos (Kingsville), Ken Antaya (LaSalle), Ron McDermott (Essex), Gary McNamara (Tecumseh), John Paterson (Leamington), and Tom Bain (Lakeshore).

New $710,000 fire truck for Leamington

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent When a fire truck reaches 20 years old, international standards and insurance companies demand that it be replaced if the Municipality hopes to maintain its fire insurance rates.

So, in spite of its apparent beautiful condition, Leamington’s aerial pumper truck must be replaced. Fortunately, the municipality has been putting money aside for years against this eventuality. (Even if the truck were completely refurbished the cost of fire insurance in Leamington would go up simply because it is a 20 year-old truck.)

SOUTHPOINT When two tenders to supply a new pumper truck were opened at the end of www.imaginecinemas.com May, both were over the NOW PLAYING JUNE 13- JUNE 19 anticipated price. The best deal was a total price of HOW TO TRAIN $710,000 (including tradYOUR DRAGON 2 (PG) ing-in the old truck to be Fri 7:00 9:20 replaced). Fortunately, the Sat 1:00 4:00 7:00 9:20 final cost is able to be covSun 1:00 4:00 7:00 ered by the municipality, Mon - Thurs 7:00 and is only about $5,000.

members of Council at the June 9th meeting was whether or not to let the truck go for the trade-in estimate of $10,000.

Fire Chief Chuck Parsons explained that the resale value of the truck is very poor because it does not meet standards.

As a consequence, a moHIGH tion was made to defer a QUALITY vote on the matter for one week.

CAA Member Appreciation Event

The Southpoint Sun - 11

At Monday’s council meeting, June 9, Municipal Council was updated on the status of Leamington’s Fire Strategic Master Plan. The fire service is keeping its eye on the plan as it conducts its day-to-day business. Training, technology and public education are keeping abreast of current legislation and the fire service is always looking at improvements that keep Leamington safe.

As part of the review and update process Council was informed that new legislation that came into effect only this year has increased the workload of the department a lot: every single seniors facility in the municipality must have a comprehensive fire drill and fire inspection annually so that it can be registered as compliant with the legislation at the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management.

Although the document was originally drafted in 2005, it has been thoroughly updated, and the 2014 plan presented to Municipal Council contains 13 recommendations for department excellence.

Council received the report and accepted the recommendation to have it reviewed in its entirety in 5 years.

The 40th annual Tim Hortons Camp Day was met with a great degree of enthusiasm by employees, customers and the community as a whole.

Leamington’s Tim Hortons Talbot St. West employee and trainer Fatima Remeloso spearheaded Camp Day fundraisers for the town’s westernmost store. The day’s events included an inflatable bounce castle for kids and adults alike, an employee prison bail-out of $20 each, a dunk tank, silent auction, games and the sale of t-shirts, hats, Camp Day bears, sunglasses and wrist bands. Funds generated through these attractions were added to the traditional Camp Day (Wednesday, June 4) profits raised by 100 per cent of coffee sales.

Family members of the Talbot Street restaurant’s employees constructed some of the attractions unique to that store, including the wooden prison cell made by Dave Wiebe and the spinning wheel and ‘Plinko’ games built by Tony Vieira. Some of the silent auction items were metal art pieces made by Jeff and Terri-Ann Wilson, who run the business Steel Appeal in Cottam.

The Talbot St. West Tim Hortons in Leamington is one of five owned by Crowder Enterprises and was the first to be visited by owner and former Boston Bruin/Los Angeles King Keith Crowder. Crowder also owns Leamington’s other two Tim Hortons restaurants as well as both Essex franchises.

“This is fantastic,” Crowder said shortly after arriving at the Talbot West business on Camp Day morning. “If the others show this kind of enthusiasm, I’ll be very pleased.”

Crowder’s restaurants have taken part in Camp Day since his ownership era began more than 20 years ago. He explained that throughout the past

“The people in Leamington and Essex are very generous with Camp Day,” Crowder noted. “Our group does a fantastic job raising money.”

Fundraising for Camp Day actually begins a week earlier with store-to-store sales of paper cabins that are displayed on store walls with the names of individual contributors written on them. Each year, about 17,000 children from underprivileged homes are sent to camps throughout Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Alberta, Kentucky and more recently, a leadership camp based in Manitoba.

Camp Day began 40 years ago in honour of Tim Horton after his death, started by the NHL player’s business partner Ron Joyce. Joyce, aware of Horton’s love of children, started Camp Day about 10 years after the first store opened in Hamilton in 1964.

The Talbot store also sold hot dogs donated by Bradt’s Butcher Block with buns donated by Lakeside Bakery. The bounce castle rental was donated by Larry MacDonald.

The five Crowder Enterprises stores combined their efforts to raise a sum of $31,191.56 for the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation camp excursions.

“We thank the whole community for our success,” said

is to assist and encourage children with reading difficulties in order to motivate and provide positive reading experiences. Local volunteers are matched with children to meet at the Leamington Branch at least once a week during July and August. This is an effort to address a critical need identified in the community.

Why is a literacy program so important for Leamington?

In Windsor and Essex County, Leamington has the highest count of children scoring low in language and cognitive development skills since 2007 (Windsor-Essex County: 3 Cycle Comparison EDI Results 2011/2012).

The correlation between early reading experience and high school dropout is proven repeatedly in academic studies. In 2011, the Annie E. Casey Foundation report “Early Warning! Why reading by the end of third grade matters” showed definitively that low-income children who are not reading on grade level by grade 3 are six times more likely to drop out of high school than their peers.

Elementary teachers are a key element for the success of the Book Buddies initiative – the teacher refers the child and parent to the Book Buddies program. The benefit being in the fall when the child returns to school he or she will be

that much more prepared and more confident in her reading skill – what a difference that will make to how a child feels about going to school and reading out loud.

For some children, this may be their first exposure to the library. These programs go beyond helping the child to read, but also adds another pillar of support to the children’s larger support network; like the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child”. Many children are not read to daily nor have books in the home. Once an opportunity like Book Buddies comes into a child’s life, exposure to books, language and literacy programs can change their future.

The other key element of this program is its volunteers.

Like being a Big Brother or Big Sister, a Book Buddy is another person on the child’s journey through life that is there to support and encourage the child toward their life goals. To change the future you have to start with the present – once you change a child’s outlook, as libraries have been known to do, their horizons brighten, the community is strengthened – one child at a time.

If you would like to volunteer or if you know of a child who needs extra reading practice, call or visit Leamington Branch Library at 226-946-1529 ext. 220.

LHS hosts plant sale, learns about herbs LHS May Update

By Catherine Riediger

Busy times are ahead preparing and planting flowerpots, flowerbeds, tree planting and maintenance and Communities in Bloom activities.

The first activity in May was the Annual Plant Sale on Saturday, May 17 at Leamington United Church. Despite the slow spring, it was a successful event with a good variety of perennial plants.

The May 23rd monthly general meeting’s guest speaker was Sandy Ellenor from the Essex Horticultural Society on the subject of “Herbs”. Sandy has been with the Master Gardeners, a member of the Essex Horticultural Society and Michigan Herb Associates, for over 25 years. As she says, “Mostly I just love playing in the dirt and love all plants but tend to lean towards herbs as I love to learn about their history, their folklore and their many uses. For me, herbs are fun.”

Many people ask for the definition of an herb and it is simply a useful plant and has to have had a medicinal history to be classed that way. They also ask the difference between herbs and spices. The leaves of the plant, both fresh and dried, are considered herbs and the seeds, bark and roots of possibly the same plant are considered spices.

At the meeting, Sandy discussed the wonderful world of the culinary herbs including chervil, basil, rosemary, dill, bay, chives, fennel, garlic, mint, oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon, thyme and summer savoury.

Every year since 1995 the International Herb Association chooses an herb of the year. The 2014 Herb of the Year is the Artemisia. Artemisias are a family of herbs consisting of 300-400 species. Some of them you probably have in your gardens and don’t think of them as herbs but ornamental perennials. Most, but not all, have silver foliage and are very drought resistant. These include favourites like Silver Mound, Silver King and Silver Queen. It also includes the Wormwood family, the Southerwoods and many sage brushes in western Canada and the American southwest. The Wormwoods were used for the worming of people and animals. The Southerwoods are used in cosmetic products such as Aveeno, and Absorbine Jr. comes from wormwood. Also, many liqueurs come from the Artemisia family (absinthe, vermouth). The one great culinary herb that belongs to this family is the tarragon plant, and it is only French tarragon as the others are not good for cooking. French tarragon is easy

to grow but cannot be started from seed, only cuttings. Other Herbs of the Year are: 2013 - Elderberry; 2012 - Rose; 2011 Horseradish; 2010 - Dill. It was very interesting to learn how herbs have contributed to mankind since the early beginnings of documented history. So, please plant some herbs this year and enjoy using them to the fullest.

Winners announced at Historical Society meeting On Sat. May 31 during the Leamington and Mersea Historical Society’s (LMHS) regular monthly meeting, guest Don Nicholson drew the 10 winning tickets of the Society’s May raffle. Many thanks from the Society to the businesses which generously supplied gift cards (total value over $1,000) as prizes for the draw and to the hundreds of people who purchased the tickets. All money raised from the draw will be used for the Leamington and Mersea Historical Museum.

The winners are Melody Fotheringham, Lisa Costa, Marg Toole, Susan Cote, Zachary Ghazali, Judy Westfall, Sheanna Zambo, Sylvia Martin, Dave Sheik, and Marilyn Brown-John.

Red Light, Green Light screening in Leamington Katie Omstead, Coordinator of ONE, an organization in Leamington that is made up of volunteers aiming to work as ONE to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation in Leamington is bringing in two Canadian filmmakers, Jay and Michelle Brock, to screen their newest documentary, entitled Red Light, Green Light. It’s a film about about the prevention of sex trafficking, and they specifically address the whole legalization of prostitution debate.

The Brocks are currently on a 100-city nationwide tour, and the film has been getting great reviews and audience feedback.

ONE will be showing the film on the evening of Friday, June 13 at 7 p.m. at South Point Community Church (Inside Calvary Baptist Church – 475 Bevel Line Road in Leamington).

Sexual exploitation and human trafficking is an issue in all towns and cities, including Leamington. This film helps address some of the biggest questions that Canadians are asking today.

Donations will be taken at the door.

More information can also be found on the Facebook Page - ONE Leamington www.facebook. com/ONELeamington. You can contact ONE by email at caringaboutone@gmail.com or by phone at 519-551-1190.

One of the brightest aspects of the meeting was the announcement that the Society has a summer student from the University of Windsor.

In July the Society will hold their annual bus trip and this year’s trip will feature “lost towns and villages” of the southern half of the county.

Also, on July 14 a ceremony to commemorate an obscure War of 1812 skirmish at Sturgeon Creek will be held. Several Society members will attend and help out.

The meeting’s main business centred around updating the Society’s by-laws and after a thorough review the Society passed, by a clear majority, many changes relating to the by-laws.

Energy efficient doghouses Grade 7 students at Queen of Peace Elementary School built energy-efficient doghouses.

Their task was to keep the doghouse warm when put in cold climate. Some doghouses were built with wood, shingles, insulation and heated floors created with a hot water tubing design. Members of the groups also needed to present their doghouse to the class, as if the class was a Board of Directors deciding whether or not to replicate the design and put it for sale. “This was a great way to end our unit about Heat in the Environment. In this Unit, students also learned about renewable (wind and solar energy) and non-renewable (burning of fossil fuels) sources of energy,” stated Grade 7/8 teacher Gloria Relic. Barbara Gaspard’s Grade 7 class also participated. The students worked in small groups and came up with a design. Some students used white paint on the roof of the doghouse to reflect the sun’s rays to keep it cooler in the summer. Another group ran plastic tubing throughout the bottom of their doghouse, to represent the heated water that would be pumped through the tubes to keep the floor heated in the winter. When building the doghouses, the students had two goals: to build the house effectively so it would keep a dog warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Essex County Leamington OPP constable Kevin O’Neil provides instruction to Nina on the obstacle course of the annual Bike Safety Rodeo hosted by the Leamington Salvation Army on Setterington Street Saturday, May 31.

C.A. Bailey Limited sold to Switzer-Carty Transportation Switzer-Carty Transportation announced last week the acquisition of C.A. Bailey Limited of Leamington. a successful family run school bus and charter business servicing Windsor/Essex County for more than 60 years.

“When Doug and I started Switzer-Carty, we said we aspired to be the most highly regarded school bus company by our customers, the families that trust us and by our employees” said Jim Switzer, President and CEO. “In C. A. Bailey, we have found a company whose culture mirrors our own. We are so pleased the Arthurs family feels that Switzer-Carty will carry on their traditions of outstanding customer service, strong employee relations and a dedication to their community.”

C.A. Bailey operates almost 100 vehicles servicing Windsor Essex Student Transportation Services for the Greater Essex County District School Board, Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board, Conseil Scolaire de district des ecoles catholiques du Sud-ouest and the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde.

C. A. Bailey also operates transit services for the Town of Leamington along with a compliment of charter vehicles.

The acquisition will close at the end of July 2014. Switzer-Carty looks forward to servicing all current customers of C.A. Bailey and welcoming all employees into the Switzer-Carty family. Switzer-Carty Transportation is based in Burlington, Ontario.

factor in the contract, the contractor shall not sublet, sub-contract, or assign any of the work on the contract or change its effective, corporate control without the written consent of the Municipality previously being obtained.” Mr. Sharon’s report goes on to explain “As a result, the Municipality of Leamington must consent to the assignment of the existing contract, from C.A. Bailey to Switzer-Carty.”

The report recommended to Council that the existing contract, which is due to expire at the end of September, be extended with Switzer-Carty for one year so that the company can get to know and understand Leamington, and Leamington’s administration can assure itself about the “operating style and corporate culture” of this company that is based out of Burlington.

In presenting the report, Director of Corporate Services Brian Sweet indicated that Bailey Bus Lines has always been more than accommodating and it is hoped that the new owners will be as easy to deal with.

Council agreed and the recommendation was passed.

the contest. The 1-1 stalemate stood as the match’s final score.

Cardinal Carter’s last game was played against the Holy Trinity Tigers of Bradford. Sharbel Kantati struck first in the opening half with a close-range tip in, although the Tigers replied early in the second half en route to another 1-1 deadlock.

“I’m really proud of how our guys played,” Mazar said of the tournament, noting that had a few bounces gone a different way, his team could have made a quarterfinal appearance.

“There have been parents from other teams who’ve commented on how sportsmanlike our players are.”

Other teams made the journey from Tecumseh, St. Thomas, Gloucester, Simcoe, Burlington, St. Catharines, Courtice, North York, Belleville, Fort Frances, Sault Ste. Marie, Kemptville, Richmond Hill and Ottawa. Tournament manager and Cardinal Carter vice principal Jim Kittl explained that he received only positive feedback from the parents, coaches and players of visiting teams, including a text from a St. Catharines visitor who explained that Leamington is a town of kind and courteous residents.

“It’s been running very well,” said Kittl, who led the organization of the tournament along with media relations director Marco Antonuzzo. “We’ve been getting a lot of compliments about the organization and the fields. The municipality has really outdone themselves here.”

Games were scheduled in 90-minute increments despite the fact that games were held to two 30-minute halves, allowing for extra time to compensate for injury timeouts.

“We’ve been trying to go that extra mile for people coming from out of town,” Kittl noted. “Our goal is to do more than is expected of us.”

The tournament was preceded by a banquet at the Roma Club for all teams and coaches, where former Cougar Corbin Watson and 2014 Special Olympic bronze medalist appeared as guest speaker. Prior to an accident that led to the amputation of one leg below the knee, Watson was a player on the Cougars’ team that advanced to OFSAA in 2006.

By Bryan Jessop The Cardinal Carter Cougars may have missed out on the playoff round of this year’s boys 2A OFSAA tournament, but they certainly impressed visitors from 19 visiting communities.

The host team finished round robin play in Pool C with a record of two losses and two ties, starting the tournament on frustrating notes against the third-ranked St. Martin Mustangs of Mississauga and the Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Royals of Toronto. Cardinal Carter lost the first game 2-1, falling behind 2-0 before Austin Bento put his team on the scoresheet late in the second half. The Mustangs’ first goal was a controversial one, as the play that led to the opening tally began with a throw in while the St. Martin coach and an injured player were still on the field.

The Cougars also questioned a late penalty kick awarded to the fifth-ranked Royals in Game 2, a play that led to the game’s only goal and a 1-0 loss for the Cougars.

“Losing to a penalty shot in the last five minutes was a real knife in the heart for all the boys,” said Cougars head coach Chris Mazar. “We spent 20 minutes of the second half in their 18-yard box and then they win on a penalty shot.”

Game 3 was played the following Day — Friday, June 6 — against the fellow 0-2-0 E.S.C. Theriault Flames. The Flames struck first early in the quarter, but Bento replied shortly afterwards after taking advantage of a mishandled ball by the opposition’s netminder. The game was the last of the tournament for Bento, who suffered a hairline fracture to the tibia later in

Tourney to the centre of the Earth Every once in a while, you’ll hear about professional teams of different sports or large companies that organize team/employee bonding excursions. It could be something as simple and straightforward as a Christmas party or getting BRYAN everyone to sign up JESSOP for a charitable community event.

For many a minor Jessop’s sports team, there Journal is perhaps no better strategy than an outof-town tournament.

One of my favourite Simpsons episodes may suggest pairing everybody up for a race to the cabin at the top of a snowcovered mountain, but what better way than a weekend trip that involves the sport that brought you all together in the first place? I recall a few minor hockey tournaments that featured some memorable moments, like a two-day gathering in London where all the members of my peewee hockey team piled into one of the hotel rooms between the last Saturday and first Sunday games to watch G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling).

Between the games of an atom tournament in Dresden, every team was treated to a complimentary dish of vanilla ice cream at the community hall. Some of my teammates dared me to sprinkle salt from a nearby shaker all over mine and eat it, which I promptly did. It tasted horrible, but that’s the kind of thing that garners a certain degree of respect from your peers at that age. Or at least it was good for a few laughs. An unparalleled ability to simultaneously combine sweet and salty snacks actually earned me the nickname “Garbage Guts” from one of my uncles.

To a large extent, tournaments are an opportunity for a town or city to showcase itself to out-of-town players and parents who might never find themselves in your home community otherwise. Large-scale, two-or-more day tourneys are not only a chance to offer your restaurants and hotels a healthy economic shot in the arm, but can also remind such visitors that a repeat visit may be in order when they’ve got some time and disposable income to burn a few months down the road.

Such an opportunity recently presented itself to Leamington. The annual Ontario Federation of Secondary Athletic Associations (OFSAA) selected Cardinal Carter as hosts of this year’s boys 2A soccer championships.

It’s a three-day event that brings about 400 guests into town and as such, requires a

great deal of preparing, planning, organization and volunteer hours. Fortunately, high schools are equipped with no shortage of such volunteers — there were as many of them roaming about between the fields of the Leamington Soccer Complex than players awaiting their turns on the pitch for the next game.

Speaking of the LSC, kudos to the municipality on a job well done in prepping the fields. I’d be proud if my front yard looked anywhere near half as good. The ball rolled across those playing surfaces like a cue ball on a brand new pool table. Manchester United would have been proud to play there. Have you ever watched a minor or high school soccer game and noticed how a player will look for a raised lump of dirt to place the ball on for a free kick? There were virtually no such opportunities, and not because refs didn’t award free kicks. It looked like a putting green out there.

The one thing I’d change about high school soccer is the number of officials on the field. There’s ONE, plus the two who patrol the sidelines. An exponentially smaller hockey rink is now under the scrutiny of four officials, yet a soccer pitch has a single ref who can move freely about the playing surface?

Finishing with a record of two ties and two losses, the Cougars didn’t advance to the quarterfinals but did their town proud nonetheless. There were comments made by visiting parents on their commendable degree of sportsmanship, which is a great impression to leave on someone who’s rolling into town for the first time. The local squad could have used one more lucky bounce or two (both losses were by one-goal margins), but still has every reason to hold their heads high.

Anyway, OFSAA’s quite the spectacle, with 20 teams from across the province all converging at the same location. One team made the haul from Sault Ste. Marie. It’s nice to see every team guaranteed a minimum of four games. Ontario Baseball Association teams travel just as far for the season-ending provincials and play as few as two games before they pack up the bats and gloves and head back home. Double knockout is an interesting format for a tournament schedule, but what a bummer it would be to spend what is essentially your last weekend of the summer dragging yourself up and down the 401 for TWO games.

Baseball and slo-pitch players are a special kind of dedicated. I’ve known a few who’ll think nothing of jumping on a plane headed for Nova Scotia to participate in a three- or four-game tournament.

A sort of evolution of the tournament that I like to see is setting them up to serve as charitable fundraisers at the same time. It’s a fortunate group of people who are able to participate in something as enjoyable as a hockey, baseball, golf or soccer tournament, so why not give them a chance to support those who aren’t so fortunate?

Ladies ball hockey

By Emma Hannigan After a week off on Victoria Day, the ladies ball hockey returned to the Wheatley Area Arena.

The first game was played on Monday, May 26 between the Journal and the Car Barn.

The Car Barn was viciously wanting a win over the Journal, and sadly they were unsuccessful in a 3-1 game.

Sheila McBrayne of the Journal opened things up with a goal from Marianne Vergeer, putting the Journal up 1-0. Later in the second, Brenda Vink scored another point for the Journal, assisted

by Vergeer, but it was quickly returned by the Car Barn with a goal from Lisa “Derb” Derbyshire. Immediately afterward, Vergeer scored for the Journal making the final score 3-1 in favour of the Journal.

To kick off the second game was a goal from Charlee Cabral for Johnston’s Net and Twine against Anthony-Keats Marine. Tammie Brown of Johnston’s scored later in the first, accompanied by a goal from teammate Tracy Sample. Anthony-Keats soon answered with a goal from Brooke Kaiser, assisted

by Terri Koehler. Amy Bell and Brown both scored for Johnston’s, making the score 5-1 at the end of the first. Just seconds into the second period, Cabral scored again for Johnston’s Net and Twine, assisted by Bell. Lianne Imeson and Vicki Wenzler racked up two more points for Johnston’s.

On Monday, June 2 the first goal of the night was scored

by Katie Clubb, giving the Journal an early lead against

Anthony-Keats Marine. The goal wasn’t celebrated for long as Anthony-Keats scored 2 quick goals, one from Nicole Jackson and the other Brooke Kaiser. The Journal didn’t stay behind for long, with a goal from Terri Taylor, assisted by Katie Clubb.

As the first period came to a close, Clubb scored again, bringing the Journal up 3-2.

In the second period the Journal returned with a goal from Noelle Resendes, assisted

by Taylor. Jill Dawson also scored for the Journal, but

Anthony-Keats wasn’t done fighting, as shown by a goal from Andrea Taylor, assisted

by Jackson, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Journal from winning 5-3.

The second game was between the Car Barn and Johnston’s Net and Twine.

After an almost scoreless first period, Margot Gillespie scored for the Car Barn. The Car Barn was winning 1-0 until Amy Bell of Johnston’s scored. The rest of the game was a stalemate with a final score of 1-1.

LAERC golf tournament The Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee (LAERC) held a golf tournament on Saturday, May 31 at Erie Shores Golf & Country Club. Five teams participated in the fun Texas Scramble on a beautiful sunny day, the perfect day to play this game!

“I sure am pleased and grateful with all those who made this day a success – the sponsors, the businesses who gave gifts (our prizes), the people who gave donations, and of course, to the golfers who made this tournament happen.

We could realize a profit of $3,800,” said tournament coordinator Carolyn Reid.

There was a prize for the team who had the highest score.

The team of Carolyn Reid, Carol Bell, Laura Kochie, Nancy Abbruzzese are the most honest golfers with a score of 89.

“We had so much fun with all those strokes and thought we did quite well,” said each of the golfers. They received coupons from Flamingo Restaurant. The fifth team of Dave Pilmer, Sandie Hutchinson, Edith Schewing and Eckart Schewing with a score of 81 could choose a gift from the prize table.

Prizes were given to the following: Closest to the Pin were Sue Zalger and John Tofflemire. Closest to the Lady Golfer was Nancy Abbruzzese and Closest the the Man Golfer was John St. James. Longest Drive winners were Sue Zalger and John St. James. The Putting Contest winner was Andy Gould. Unfortunately, no one was able to claim $5,000 on the two hole-in-one contests. Ives Insurance and Southland Insurance gave golfers the chance to become richer.

Over the past nine years LAERC has brought 12 family groups to Leamington. They have sponsored and assisted families from Columbia, Iraq, and Burma. These 53 newcomers now live and work in Leamington. They are learning English, their children attend local public schools, some have purchased homes and vehicles, and many are involved in community activities. Some have become Canadian citizens. After the first year, LAERC continue to stay in contact with these newcomers, much like extended family members – celebrating occasions and sharing activities. The newest family, a mom, dad, and infant son arrived on May 27. They were originally from Myanmar but living in Kuala Lumpur.

LAERC’s next fundraiser is the Yard Sale at Jackson’s Greenhouse on June 27 and 28.

The winning men’s team with a score of 72, which also happens to be par, from left to right: Kit Woods, John Tofflemire, Arunus Januska and John St. James. They received gift certificates from Ray’s Ribhouse.

The most honest golfers golfers, left to right, were Laura Kochie, Nancy Abdruzzese, Carol Bell, and Carolyn Reid.

June 3 was luck of the draw Progs game. Missing were the high +11s that were notched the previous week.

Orest Hrynewich posted a high of +8, followed by George Turnbull with a +7. In third place was Carl Grossi’s +5. They won $20, $15 and $10 respectively.

In the skins department, Greg Dunmore, Bob Park, Ron Gagne and Kevin Shaften each picked up a hefty $21. For Kevin, this was his third skin, tying him with Gary Alderson with the most skins so far.

It’s amazing watching the guys come in and pick their card for which team they are on. Without fail, the worst scores usually end up on the same team while the best scores gravitate to the same team. I have yet to figure out how that works since there should be a 25% chance that they should be evenly dispersed. It rarely happens.

As fate would have it, Team Diamonds capitalized with a team total of +11. Winners include Dave Wilkinson, Gord Anderson, Roger Cote, Jeff Brown, Bob Dick, George Turnbull, Dan Musorchan, Barry Miller, Orest Hrynewich, Gary McRae, Ken Cobby, Dan McQueen and Greg Gare.

The lead story features George Turnbull who had a very good day. George was a +7 up until hole #17. He doubled it by promptly depositing his drive into the ditch on the non-senior side.

It’s tough to get a point when you’re hitting 3 from the tee side of the ditch. George still had a good chance of getting more points on hole #18.

George hit a nice drive but ended up in the rough on the right side, close to the trees.

George drove his cart but haphazardly drove over his ball, embedding it into the ground. It must have looked more like the fried egg that one would normally see in a bunker. The proggers really didn’t know what the ruling was so George was allowed to play 2 balls and then they would check to see if that was okay. As it turned out, it really didn’t matter much.

George punched out a double with both balls, so the ruling was moot. Instead of being first, Orest thanks him for being second.

Senior golfers challenge TTGC

By Bob McLean On Tues. June 3, sixty-eight golfers played their league golf under a warm, blue sky. The somewhat windy conditions might have been a factor in raising some of the players’ scores. Nevertheless, those who participated enjoyed the outing.

Tom Bondy was the winner on #2 as he sank the day’s longest putt. Ken Womack hit a terrific shot on #9 to claim the closest to the pin prize.

Youngster John Liddell and veteran Vic Reynaert tied for the lowest score of the day as they both shot masterful 41s.

In the 69 and under grouping, Herb Reid placed second to John’s score as he fired an impressive 42. A superb 43 result was achieved by Al Matthews. Steadily improving Larry Schmidt produced an inspiring 45. Five golfers who earned very gratifying 46s were Greg Wood, Steve Price, Richard Humber, Mike Getty and Rick Thompson. Satisfying 47s were captured by Brian Brown, Paul Brown, Wayne Zimney and Larry Haggitt. Ray La Pierre, Gary Benninger and Doug Langlois all received commendable results that were less than 50. Three golfers who merited the nifty 50 score were Kevin Jordan, Jerry Paine and Tom Bondy.

In the 70-79 division second place went to Neil Adamson who fired a terrific 43. Tom Hyatt and Bob Patchett also played very well as they achieved superb 45 results. Four golfers who tied with solid 46s were Joe Vertel, Robert Shaw, Gerry Holmes and Homer Vandervecht. Larry Hillman, Walter Balsam and Gerald Rivait earned very gratifying results that were less than 49. The 50 is nifty score was earned by Carl Robinson, Bill Ward and Bob Lee. Martin Girash, Ed Woelk, Ken Womack, Reg Flewelling and Pete Daudlin all produced noteworthy results that were 53 or less.

The 80-85 category had Gerry Becigneul leading the way with his impressive 48. He was closely followed by Dave la Bonte who achieved a solid 49. Hal Wigle and Murray Knox played commendably to merit satisfying 51 and 52 results respectively.

The super senior division, 85y+, had 5 enthusiastic participants. Sweet swinging 93-year-old Linus Bachmeier continues to demonstrate the right stuff as he shot a masterful 53. Orville Ellwood also played well as he earned a very praiseworthy 56. Ray Allen, Al Stockwell and John H. Dick all merited very fine results.

The first scramble will take place on June 17. In order to make up appropriate scramble teams, everyone is asked to be at the course no later than 8:40. Delicious food, prizes and friendly competition are always enjoyed on scramble days.

“Golf is a terrible, hopeless addiction, it seems: it makes its devotees willing to trudge miles in any manner of weather, lugging or pulling a huge, incommodious and appallingly heavy bag with them, in pursuit of a tiny and fantastically expensive ball, in a fanatical attempt to direct it into a hole the size of a beer glass half a mile away. If anything could be better calculated to convince one of the essential lunacy of the human race, I haven’t found it.” – Mike Seabrook

Teams Hogan and Snead tied for first The Erie Shores Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League took a break off from regular play last week, June 5, and had their first Fun Night Team Best Ball Scramble and Meal Event of the season. This is also the first year that the points and results from the Fun Night competition will actually go towards the overall standings of the 10 teams involved.

Playing on the back 9, Team Tom Watson were the overall low score winners at 2 under par and collectors of 5 points. Team Sam Snead were the front 9 winners at one under par that also gave them 5 points for the night.

The teams of Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan tied for second place as both picked up 4 points, while the squads of Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus each secured 3 points.

Team Gene Sarazen and Team Arnold Palmer managed to get 2 points, while the teams of Harry Vardon and Garry Player both finished last with a point apiece.

After three weeks of play, in the overall standings, the teams of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead are tied for first place with 20 points. Two other teams of Lee Trevino and Bobby Jones are just two points back at 18.

Alone in fifth place with 15 points is Team Jack Nicklaus with Team Tom Watson sitting another point back at 14. Harry Vardon’s team is next at 13 points, while Team Arnold Palmer has 11. Team Gene Sarazen sits in 9th spot with 10 points and Gary Player’s team currently stands in last place with a point total of 9.

Over the past three weeks, closest to the pin winners included Geoff Dunmore, George Bergen and Rob Lee and they all received gift packs from Speedprint.

The longest drive winners were Brian Humphreys for two nights and Spencer Neufeld for the other. They each received a sleeve of Titleist Pro V1’s from Erie Shores.

And Jose’s Bar and Grill gave out gift cards to all three winners of the longest putt competition, which included John Rutgers, Abe Bergen and Ward Hutchins.

Every one of the 75 golfers playing in the Fun Night also received a prize from the Canadian Tire Store in Leamington. The league thanks Canadian Tire for their generous support and welcomes new store owner Ron Mclean to Leamington and also thanks store manager Andrew Piper for his assistance.

The next special Fun Night Team Best Ball Scramble and Meal takes place on Thurs. July 10 at 5:30 p.m. with a shotgun start.

Cardinal Carter’s Liam Bergeron tries to tag out a Harrow Hawks base stealer during a WECSSAA boys baseball quarterfinal playoff game in the Bertoia-Siddall Division Thursday, May 29.

Lions reach baseball final

By Bryan Jessop Commitment has made all the difference for the Leamington District Secondary School boys baseball team.

This year’s team advanced to the Bertoia-Siddall Division (Tier II) final, where they took on the nearby Kingsville Cavaliers in a one-game, winner-take-all championship game Monday, June 9. Once the infield dust settled, the Cavaliers won by a score of 3-0. The first five innings were a pitching battle, with Riley Enns starting for the Lions. Kingsville bats drove in three runs in the bottom of the sixth and continued to keep Lion batters at bay with three up, three down in the top of the seventh to clinch the title.

Led by coaches Mark Dewhurst and Joel Lewsaw, the Lions finished the regular season with a record of seven wins, one loss and two ties — good for second place and one point behind the 8-1-1 Cavaliers. Leamington’s 68 runs for was second

best in the division, behind Kingsville’s 73. The 29 runs allowed represented the six-team group’s best defense, six fewer than second-best Cardinal Carter’s 35.

The Cavaliers and Lions earned quarterfinal byes by finishing one-two, allowing the teams to wait for the winners of the Cardinal Carter/Harrow and Tecumseh Vista Academy/Kennedy series. Fifth place Harrow managed a minor upset against the fourth-place Cougars, cruising to an 11-1 victory.

Last-place Kennedy managed an upset against third-ranked Tecumseh in a 7-2 decision.

In Kingsville’s semifinal match, the Cavs earned a spot as hosts in the championship game by eliminating the Clippers 9-1. In a typical display of defensive dominance, the Lions blanked the Hawks 8-0 for a Wednesday, June 4 trip to Kingsville that was postponed by rain.

“I thought we played great,” said Lewsaw of the semifinal contest at Kinsmen Field Monday, June 2. “Our defense was strong and we had some great pitching.”

Riley Enns pitched four shutout innings for Leamington while Daniel Warkentin took care of the last three innings from the mound.

The Lions sent in two runs in the second inning and did most of the damage in the fourth, where Shane Antunes connected for a three-RBI double with two out.

Last year’s baseball season was sidelined by a union-backed extracurricular work stoppage. The Lions started the 2012 season on a strong note and continued onward as one of the divi-

sion’s most competitive teams until about three quarters of the way through the campaign. Lewsaw explained that the team’s level of dedication dropped off from there, costing Leamington its status as a playoff threat.

“The first thing we did for this year was reinforcing commitment,” he said. “The players have been to every game and every practice and they’ve been good teammates to each other.”

Cardinal Carter’s Liam Bergeron makes a pop fly catch for an out against the Harrow Hawks during a WECSSAA boys baseball quarterfinal playoff game in the Bertoia-Siddall Division Thursday, May 29. The Hawks won 11-1 to advance to the Bertoia/Siddall Division semifinals. The Leamington Lions, who finished second in the division, earned a bye into the semis to play against Harrow Monday, June 2. The Lions won the game 8-0 to advance to the finals.
