County’s Relay For Life raises $98,125

By Bryan Jessop

ESSEX COUNTY – Cooperation from Mother Nature and support from Windsor-Essex County have made for another noteworthy Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser.

The annual Windsor-Essex County Relay For Life at Colasanti’s Tropical Garden drew about 300 participants from across the city and county for 2019 while at the same time approaching its fundraising goal of $80,000.

In total, a sum of $78,075 in collected pledges and donations were received online through the yearly WindsorEssex County Canadian Cancer Society event, with the total growing to $98,125

by Monday afternoon.

“We’re here to stand up against the disease and

continue to say ‘we’re here to fight, we’re here to live, we’re here to remember’,” said Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos during opening ceremonies. “This event is something that we cherish and it’s one that I think that as families and a community, we come together and continue to support. There are no boundaries, there are no barriers that we won’t cross to help fight this fight.”

As of Friday morning, more than $72,100 — 90 per cent of the Windsor-Essex County Relay For Life’s 2019 goal — had already been raised. Additional money for the local CCS branch was raised on site through the sale of baked goods, produce, glow sticks, chocolate bars and many other items at the Relay For Life Market set up at Colasanti’s during the

12-hour event. The current fundraising total does not include on-site fundraising or donations that can be submitted until late July.

Live music was also performed by a lineup of local musicians throughout the event following opening ceremonies and the traditional Survivor Lap that kicked off the 2019 Relay For Life. Reflexology services and a string of activities for guests of all ages were also available while members of the participating teams took turns walking the site’s outdoor track and continuing to raise money through various strategies during the relay.

“We’re able to keep fundraising and make a lot of fun of it for everyone,” explained Windsor-Essex (Continued on Page 2)

LEAMINGTON – Empty storefronts in Leamington will soon be filled with opportunity for local aspiring entrepreneurs.

During municipal council’s Tuesday, May 28 meeting, manager of economic development, tourism and special events James Cox presented the concept of a program being dubbed ‘Reinvent This Space’ — a variation of an economic development incentive other communities have undertaken dubbed ‘Win This Space’.

In revealing the report, Cox described Reinvent This Space as a strategy where local business leaders are recruited to offer business plan development support and mentoring to applicants vying for the program’s ‘prize’ — typically, a grant where the winning entrepreneur receives a full year’s rent in what was previously a vacant unit in the participating community’s downtown business sector.

As part of his proposal, Cox suggested that a Business Expansion Community Improvement Plan (CIP) grant be offered to the winner to fund 100 per cent of eligible expenses up to a maximum of $15,000.

Council also carried the motion to recruit the team of local business owners, in consultation with Mayor Hilda MacDonald, to oversee and implement Reinvent This Space. The grant of up to $15,000 was approved during budget deliberations earlier this year.

Reinvent This Space’s timeline will begin in June of this year with recruited business leaders, known as the ‘working group’, designing the program itself as well as the mentoring process. The initial phase will also include the selection of the winner’s business location from eligible vacant units in uptown Leamington.

In July, the group will begin accepting applications for the program, with the deadline for submissions set for August 15. By September 1, application finalists will be chosen and the mentoring segment of the program will begin.

Finalists will officially submit their business plans and pitch their ideas to the mentoring group in mid October. The winning entry will be announced in November with intentions of his or her business to open in the spring of 2020. The time between the announcement of a winner and the opening date will permit the successful finalist to make any necessary changes to the provided space, if necessary.

“It’s a way to promote local entrepreneurship and address vacant spaces in the uptown areas,” Cox explained.

“We want to put emphasis on a good level of expertise for mentoring the winner.”

While addressing questions from council, Cox explained that a rapport with other applicants can be maintained should they wish to continue their pursuits of launching and running their own businesses. Council members offered enthusiastic feedback to the program, expressing an interest in add a seeing it succeed and AND carry momentum beyond intended FOR the JUST timeline.

“I’d like to see us expand this program and get some of these store fronts filled,” noted Councillor John Jacobs.

of about 60 students banded together to form a team for the county-wide version. As of the local relay’s opening ceremonies, the KDHS team was ranked second by collecting nearly $8,500. It’s final total was $10,583.

The team’s captain, Lana Grondin, also ranked second highest among individual participants by raising more than $1,900.

Phoebe Truskey led the individual list with more than $3,500 while Vikings Crusading For Cures led teams with more than $16,350.

Relay For Life’s signature event — the Luminary Ceremony — began at 10 a.m. Friday evening at Colasanti’s. For an hour, illuminated paper bags purchased by participants were placed around the perimeter of the track in honour of loved ones who are cancer patients or who’ve lost their lives to the disease.

“It’s the most emotional time of the evening,” explained Wetlauffer. “It makes a very strong visual impact.”

Peace Party returns to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop

Leamington Ministerial has again proven that the community’s different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds can interact harmoniously.

This year, even the weather cooperated.

Leamington’s third annual Peace Party took place Sunday, June 9 at Seacliff Park, based within and around the facility’s pavilion. The two-hour event offered free popcorn courtesy of The Bridge, free Halal hotdogs courtesy of Leamington Mosque and a long list of activities for children of all languages, national backgrounds, religions and ethnicities. Live music also took place under the pavilion’s roof while games and attractions including potato sack races, face painting, bracelet and necklace making, a bean bag toss, parachute games and other activities were offered.

The first Peace Party hosted by Leamington Ministerial took place at Seacliff Park in 2017 and attracted about 600 residents. Last year’s edition of the event was rained out and although precipitation persisted on and off through mid-late morning and early afternoon, skies cleared on June 9 just in time for the third Peace Party to go ahead as scheduled for 2019. The latest edition of the Peace Party was originally scheduled for September, but the region was caught within the tail end of a hurricane that quashed the plans for an autumn gathering.

“It’s wonderful to have so many folks here,” said North Leamington United Mennonite Church Pastor Alicia Good.

“It’s proof that we can build peace by getting to know each other.”

The idea for Leamington Ministerial to host a Peace Party for guests of all backgrounds was instigated following the January, 2017 mosque shooting in Quebec City. In response, Leamington Ministerial — a group of worshippers from 40-plus Leamington area churches and religious groups — organized a candlelight vigil that marched its way to the municipal office building at Erie Street North.

The ecumenical group of church leaders, which meets monthly, decided to promote its mission of peace and togetherness by hosting a community-wide event welcoming all members of the general public.

“We thought ‘what can we do that’ll build positive relationships?’,” Goode explained. “We see different groups enjoying Seacliff Park on Sundays, but they don’t interact.

The idea was to put something together where everyone could enjoy the park together. People were just really excited about it and enjoyed it. They wanted to see it happen again.”

The most recent Peace Party was also attended by representatives of Starbucks with free coffee while Erie Shores Hospice and the South Essex Community Council (SECC) were also in attendance.

Hospice Lifewalk raises $35,000

By Bryan Jessop

Supporters of Wellness Programs at the new Erie Shores Hospice Welcome Centre weren’t about to let foul weather rain on their parade.

The third annual Erie Shores Hospice Lifewalk drew about 200 participants at Seacliff Park Sunday, June 9 and despite a cloudy day with on and off rainfall, surpassed last year’s fundraising total. Committee member Melissa Hunter, also Erie Shores Health Foundation marketing coordinator, announced that the 2019 goal of eclipsing last year’s $30,000 was met with a combined pledge and donation collection of approximately $35,000.

“I’m thrilled,” Hunter explained. “We’ve had great support from across the community since the beginning. With no registration fee, we ask that participants raise a minimum of $50. Very often, people greatly surpass that.”

Prior to the event, Lifewalk entries collected donations through both traditional pledge sheets and online contributions. Many participants were formed as teams who had friends, fam-

ily members and other loved ones stay at Erie Shores Hospice. One team, the Hospice Huggers, was made up of about 30 Erie Shores Hospice volunteers.

Upon gathering at the Seacliff Park pavilion, walkers heard from new Erie Shores HealthCare director of communications and public relations Arms Bumanlag and witnessed a dove release in honour of loved ones who’ve since passed away before being led through the first lap along the park’s paved

Seacliff Park. At the present location, pledge collectors are encouraged to walk the course’s outer perimeter five times for a total distance of 5 km, although Hunter explained each entry was allowed to cover as much distance as he or she preferred.

For the third consecutive year, TD Bank stepped forward as the primary sponsor while additional support came from McDonald’s, AM 800, Ginger Snaps, Spartan Nutrition and Health Centres, Shoppers Drug Mart, Wunder Booth, Preston and Germaine, CTV, the Erie Shores Health Foundation and Mucci Farms. This year’s Lifewalk was organized by a committee of eight members, who began preparation for the annual fundraiser in early January. The commit-

tee, led by chairperson Lily DiCiocco, was joined by a handful of ‘day of’ volunteers to help conduct the walk at Seacliff Park.

Since opening in 2016, Erie Shores Hospice has provided end-of-life care for more than 500 residents.

Last month marked the official opening of the site’s Welcome Centre, which hosts several Wellness Program services for the families of loved ones staying at Hospice. Services available to family members include yoga sessions, cooking lessons and consultation on bereavement and coping with grief. This year’s Lifewalk marks the first time the event’s funding will be directed towards the support of programming at The Wellness Centre.

Participants make their way along the walking path at Seacliff Park for the third annual Erie Shores Hospice Lifewalk Sunday, June 8.

Not just another day at the beach For very good reason, November 11 is internationally recognized as a day to reflect upon the sacrifices made by Canadian military forces and their allies. Just over 100 years ago, it marked the end of WWI — which, at the time, was sometimes referenced as “the war to end all wars.”

Sadly, it was a profoundly inaccurate moniker.

On occasion, I wonder why May 8 isn’t as widely recognized as November 11. It, of course, marked “VE Day” (Victory in Europe), when Axis Bryan Jessop powers offered unconditional surrender to Allied forces in 1945 to officially put an end to WWII. That particular war, like many others before and since, included within its chronological span a turning point that marked what one might call ‘the beginning of the end’. That particular point in history was June 6, 1944 — what Allied forces called “Operation Neptune,” better known publicly as D-Day. Last week marked the 75th anniversary of the offensive, coordinated as part of Operation Overlord and referred to by many as the Invasion of Normandy. It was the largest sea-toland invasion in human history and was basically approached (almost) simultaneously in five geographical sections — Utah, Omaha, Gold, Sword and Juno — with the objective of ridding them of Nazi occupation and linking them as an uninterrupted Allied stronghold.

To put it lightly, D-Day was a difficult, dangerous and extremely costly campaign. You don’t have to be a military General with decades of experience to understand that a unit situated at an elevated position in comparison to its foe(s) has a significant advantage in battle.

Throw in some well positioned machine gun nests, barbed wire, mines, utterly miserable weather conditions and other hazards and you’ve got some pretty unfavourable survival odds for the invading Allies. Prior to D-Day, some were told that their chances of living to see June 7, 1944 would be about 50/50.

Although none of the brigades at any of the five Normandy locations accomplished all their Day 1 objectives, none advanced further than the Canadians. Resistance from German forces was heavy at Juno (only Omaha was worse), the name Churchill insisted upon as a replacement to Jelly (the two British and one Canadian regions were to be named after fish — Gold, Sword and Jelly, but the UK Prime Minister felt that “Jelly” was too lighthearted a name for a location where many men were likely to die). Covering a shoreline of about 10 km, Juno was the shortest of the three areas, but at the same time the most heavily defended.

Canadian casualties on D-Day included 359 killed and 715 wounded. By the time the Battle of Normandy ended August 21 that year, the Allied total of casualties accumulated to 209,000. Those included 18,700 Canadians, more than 5,000 of whom died. Firsthand accounts ranged from stories of complete chaos and confusion to unparalleled bravery and tragic loss. One particular LCA (those rectangular barges that transported troops from larger Navy vessels to the shoreline) reported that six Canadians had been shot and killed within seconds of the bow ramp dropping forward.

Canadians tend not to glorify their wartime past, despite some remarkable accomplishments in battle. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, I hope we never forget what many of our fellow Canucks endured and sacrificed for the well being of the rest of us. A bad day at work for most of us often means getting yelled at by a client or the boss.

For a soldier, a bad day at work can be witnessing the death of a close friend. A setback for us could be losing a customer. For a soldier, it could be losing a limb. We might get fired or laid off. A soldier might get killed.

The next time you step on a pile of dog crap, be thankful it’s not a land mine. When your engine conks out, be grateful you can simply pull over in a region where not everyone wants to kill you. A fighter pilot has no such luxury.

Even three quarters of a century later, we should be mindful of the fact that a day at the beach once meant risking much more than a sunburn.

WHEATLEY – The meeting on June 5 at the Wheatley & District Friendship Club began with Brad and Lynn Bailey leading the members in singing O Canada, followed by the blessing. Happy Birthday was sung to Pat Churchill and yours truly who have birthdays in June.

Thanks to the many willing hands who helped with the lunch and the clean-up. The cake was supplied by the club.

The winners of the 50/50 draws were Heather Vannieuwenburg and Lynn Bailey.

Musical Mates Brad and Lynn Bailey are local favourites with Brad on sax and Lynn on piano. The couple puts on an entertaining show with lively music that features all those oldies club members enjoy. This time they brought along song sheets so everyone could sing along, and members did so with gusto. Some of the songs included “Che Sera, Sera,” “Tea for Two,” “Heart and Soul,” “Just Because,” “Blue Spanish Eyes” and many, many more, along with a few gospel tunes. Lynn also told a couple of amusing anecdotes. Thank you, Brad and Lynn, for a delightful afternoon.

On May 22, the few Friendship Club members who attended the luncheon and entertainment at the Tilbury Leisure Centre enjoyed a wonderful meal – a feast really – and wonderful entertainment. A big thank you goes to the Tilbury Leisure Centre for their gracious hospitality.

At the Friendship Club there are two driveways. The one north of the building is called Lougheed Drive and it leads to the Friendship Club parking lot and continues on to the apartments further back. It is the entrance driveway.

The other driveway on the south side of the building is for exiting and was so marked. However, the sign was small and perhaps easily missed. There is now a large “Do Not Enter” sign posted. Club members and anyone coming to the Friendship Club are asked to please enter via Lougheed Drive and exit on the south side, otherwise there’s an ac-

Dana Ruthven is holding a photo of Amy Zuccato, Woodslee, who was absent for the event. Since 2012, Libro has awarded more than $360,000 to 166 students between the ages of 17 and 25 through its Student Award Program. The local student award recipients received their awards at a celebration at Oxley Estate Winery on Wednesday, June 5.

UFCW Local 175 members and representatives Carlos Simas, Jose Rebelo, Dan Bondy, Jennie Brown, Kelly Tosato, Ashleigh Vink, Helene Caine, Joce Cote, Angela Mattioli and Rolando Cabral gather around the grill during the first UFCW barbecue fundraiser at Cavendish Appetizers and Milo-Fias east of Wheatley Wednesday, June 5. Like the past three similar annual barbecues held at Highbury Canco, the event raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Draws were available for gift cards and grocery cards after more than 30 businesses from across Essex County donated to the barbecue with food, prizes and other means of support. Money was raised through hot dog, hamburger, beverage and snack sales to 150 people including the 130 employees at Cavendish and Milo-Fias. In total, $950.75 was raised at the Cavendish event, which included 10 prize winners. “A special thank you to Cavendish Appetizers and Highbury Canco and over 30 businesses who have donated,” said Caine. “With all their generous and kind donations, this event was a great success.”

LEAMINGTON – On Wednesday, June 19, the 18th Annual Butterfly Release and Memorial Service will be held at 7 p.m. at the Baby Butterfly Garden at Erie Memorial Gardens, 215 Erie St. S., Leamington (directly behind the mausoleum).

This service is for anyone who has been affected by the grief of miscarriage, stillbirth or loss of a newborn. This special remembrance is to honour all babies.

The project is a joint effort of the ESHC Spiritual & Religious Care Committee, Erie Memorial Gardens and Obstetrical Services at Erie Shores HealthCare.

Dozens of Painted Lady butterflies are given to each family and then released after a brief eulogy, prayer and musical interlude. The butterflies represent the souls of their little ones.

A reception will follow where individuals are able to share their stories with others who are also grieving.

KINGSVILLE – The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary is hosting its first Butterfly Day on June 23 from 1:004:00 p.m. to celebrate the beauty and benefits of butterflies, which play an important role for the environment as pollinators.

Christine Gross will lead a presentation at 2 p.m. on attracting butterflies to your garden. At 2:30 p.m., there will be a presentation on Monarchs and Milkweed by Leo Silvestri from the group Save Our Monarch Butterly. Learn about native plants too.

There is a new addition to the landscape at Jack Miner with Laona’s Nature Feeding Nature Garden. The project was made possible in part by the Canada Summer Jobs Program. Laona Miner (nee Wigle), wife of Jack Miner, was “the woman behind the man” and tended to the flora and fauna of the sanctuary while her husband toured North America gaining support for the sanctuary that is celebrating 115 years this year. Join in at 1:30 p.m. to help kick off this exciting initiative. Donations of native plants, trees or bushes are most welcome.

There will also be drop-in activities for children and house and museum tours. Admission is free, but donations are very much appreciated.

IB Middle Years Program presents expo

Bridge is played every Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Wheatley Friendship Club.

If you enjoy playing euchre or pepper, you’ll love playing bridge. New players are always welcome.

Although students had the option of creating and preparing their projects either individually or as part of a team, each of the 14 Grade 10s involved was required to write his or her own essay

table women from throughout history live as the same character through reincarnation, starting with Eve to others including Cleopatra, Mother Mary, Anne Frank, Mother Theresa, Amelia Earhart and a dozen others.

“It’s about personal, cultural experiences and life lessons coming together to realize we’re just human and that we can all learn from each other,” Kostwinder explained. “Hopefully, it’ll become a successful thing that inspires young women.”

A Million Lives took the Grade 10 student about 10 months to write. Her plans for the upcoming summer will be to have the book published. Kostwinder, who was born in the Netherlands and then lived in Brazil before moving to Canada, explained that her mother — also an author — inspired the book.

“When these students pursue their passions, it leads to fulfillment. I’m really proud of them for coming up with the concepts they’ve brought forward.

They’re all very ambitious,” explained Cardinal Carter Middle School vice principal and MYP coordinator Ruth Paesano.

One of the students who elected to take on the Personal Project herself has made a book of the experience. Laura Kostwinder has completed the first entry in what she plans to offer as a three-part series with a 20,000-word story titled “A Million Lives.” The book is made up of a string of short stories where no-

LEAMINGTON – Grade 10 students at Cardinal Carter have both prepared themselves for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and shared what they’ve learned.

Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School held its first IB Middle Years Program Personal Project Expo, a series of seven presentations displayed in the school’s atrium highlighting a portion of what the 14 participating Grade 10 students have learned through the four-year endeavour.

The two-hour expo was presented Thursday, June 6 to fellow CCCSS students and Grade 7s and 8s from the adjoining Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School as well as staff members. Each presentation booth represented a culmination of research and what students learned through IB’s Middle Years Program since it began in Grade 7.

The Middle Years Program (MYP) is available at IB certified schools as a precursor to the IB Diploma Program, a two-year series of courses typically offered in Grades 11 and 12. An IB diploma offers international acceptance for entry into

post secondary education programming and is recognized by several universities across the globe. The contents of the projects taken on by Grade 10 students at Cardinal Carter were accumulated starting with the start of the 2018-19 school year.

New firetruck purchase approved

CiB introduces new back yard award

By Bryan Jessop

By Catherine Riediger

LEAMINGTON – With the green light from municipal council, Leamington Fire Services will soon be welcoming a new addition to its fleet.

As part of the Tuesday, May 14 council meeting, the request for a 2019 Pierce Walk-In Rescue Apparatus was approved unanimously by members of council. The unit will replace the 1999 Freightliner FL80 Superior HD Rescue Apparatus that has been serving the same purpose for the LFS for the past two decades.

The request through a report presented by Leamington Fire Services chief Andrew Baird, who noted that 20 years is the expected lifespan of the multi-use vehicle. Previously, during capital budget deliberations for 2019, a sum of $750,000 was set aside to replace the current Freightliner rescue apparatus, known as Unit 142. The new Pierce version will bring with it a price tag of $741,000 plus additional taxes and minus the present model’s trade in value of an estimated $23,000.

The new truck will be purchased from Commercial Emergency Equipment Company of Woodstock, Ontario. Both the outgoing and incoming rescue apparatus are designed to respond to all emergencies within Leamington’s boundaries, transport multiple firefighters, and carry an assortment of firefighting tools and rescue equipment. While on scene, the units are built to provide emergency scene lighting when necessary, serve as an incident command centre and provide firefighter rehabilitation services.

“Hopefully, the new apparatus will last another 20 years like the previous one did,” Baird noted.

A committee formed to assess proposals selected the Woodstock-based business as it, according to a report offered to council, “met the majority of the specifications and offered the best value for the apparatus that will meet the needs of the department for the next 20 years.” The chassis for the new Pierce unit will likely be built south of the border in either Milwaukee or Florida. Minor additional costs will be added to fit the apparatus with communications equipment and vehicle storage accessories. These expenses will be covered by the balance of the allocated budget.

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Communities in Bloom Committee for 2019 is Chair Charlie Wright, Co-Chair Catherine Riediger, Kathryn Brooker, Gwen Campbell, David Foster, Marion Liebsch, Jackie McAllister, Joan McDonald, Susan Ross, Pete Scorrar, Bill Sherk, Jo-Anne Smith, Don Waffle, Eileen Wonnick and Erna Wright.

The committee decided to take a year off from competing in order to initiate some of the judge’s recommendations and will compete in 2020 at the National Level to celebrate the Horticultural Society’s 70th Anniversary.

In addition to the Annual Best Blooming Awards, the Fabulous Garden Display Awards will be replaced with Scotts Miracle-Gro Best Garden Selection. The criteria remains the same: Colour, Balance, Curb Appeal, Variety, Visual Impact, Planning and Integration. Gardens will be judged in June, July and August, with 12 winners being selected by the CiB Floral & Landscape Committee. The winners will receive a sign, Shake ’n Feed All Purpose jug, Nature’s Care Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Plant Food, and a congratulatory letter. Pictures of the winning gardens will be posted on the CiB and Scotts Miracle-Gro websites, Twitter, Facebook, in the CiB magazine and the Southpoint Sun. A new feature for 2019 will be the Leamington Back Yard Contest. The criteria are the same as above except for Curb Appeal. The committee will select winners on August 15 from the nominations submitted by the deadline of July 15. The winners for this contest will receive: Gold - 1st prize - $150 gift certificate from The Abbey; Silver - 2nd prize - three gift certificates totalling $100 - two from Paula’s Fish Place and one from Freddy’s; Bronze - 3rd Prize - $50 gift certificate from Ray’s Ribhouse. Winners will be published in the Southpoint Sun. Please send nominations for both of the above to cib@ mdirect.net or call Eileen at 519-326-4841 with name, address, telephone number and email address.

The CiB Committee looks forward to finding out why you are proud of your front and back yards.

Camp Day another success

By Bryan Jessop

Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald hands an Ice Cap to a drive-thru customer during Camp Day at the Tim Hortons on Erie Street South in Leamington Wednesday, June 5. Tim Hortons locations around Canada and the U.S. — including the Crowder Enterprises branches at all three Leamington locations, the two in Essex and one at County Road 46 and Manning Road — participated in the annual fundraiser for the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation. Each year, proceeds from Camp Day coffee sales and other Tim Hortons fundraisers that day go towards sending youths from underprivileged homes to week-long camping excursions.

LEAMINGTON – Locally, Canada’s most well known fundraiser that lets kids experience the great outdoors had to make a quick trip indoors.

The annual Tim Hortons Camp Day — a Canada and U.S.-wide fundraiser that helps send underprivileged youths to week-long camps through the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation — did not receive much in the way of cooperation from Mother Nature in the Leamington area this year. The local versions of the event were, however, backed by a great deal of cooperation from customers, local businesses and other supporters, raising $7,595.79 at the Leamington Erie Street South location alone. Among other Crowder Enterprises locations, Erie Street North raised $7,071.68, the Talbot Street West branch $4,000.82, the 9 Maidstone and 380 Maidstone restaurants in Essex $4,302.14 and $4,457.93 respectively and the County Road 46 store $1,928.80 for a combined total of $29,357.16.

This year’s Camp Day, held North America-wide Wednesday, June 5, was well received despite heavy and intermittent rain that forced the cancellation or postponement of wouldbe outdoor activities while suddenly forcing other components of the fundraiser to move indoors.

“There was a lot of stress caused by the weather,” explained Leamington’s Tim Hortons Erie Street South Camp Day committee member Fatima Vieira. “We had to regroup and pull it all together for a great charitable cause. Overall, it turned out to be a really nice day.”

Each participating Tim Hortons location North America-wide donates all Camp Day coffee sales to the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation to send kids to one of seven designated camps.

“Every store does something different,” explained Crowder Enterprises president and former Boston Bruin Keith Crowder. “This store (Erie Street South, Leamington) is able to do a lot because of the big parking lot. Fatima does a fabulous job spearheading this. It’s a great day for the staff — they all enjoy it and it’s for a great cause. The customers here in Leamington have always been very generous with the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation.

We’re very grateful for the kindness of the people in our communities.”

Heavy rain forced the delay of introducing the bounce castle and cancellation of the dunk tank at the Erie South location, while hot dog and baked good sales were moved indoors.

Also under the restaurant’s roof, items donated by local businesses and groups were up for a silent auction, while DDM Photo Booth of Windsor took and printed out customized postcard-like photos for guests in exchange for $2 donations towards Camp Day. The photo booth was funded entirely by New Millennium Homes, while Bradt’s Butcher Block donated hot dogs and Dancore Construction made a sizeable donation.

“We’re just very fortunate to be in a situation where we can give back to the community, so we take advantage of being able to do that whenever we can,” explained Mark Jraiche, who works for his father Tom Jraiche, owner of New Millennium Homes.

Complimenting Camp Day fundraising further was HAPPY the sale of t-shirts, teddy bears and bracelets. At the Erie Street South location, Vieira, Kate Wiebe, Cassandra Dickau and Cindy Wright led the committee.

Mill Street Night Market is heating up

An ice cream cone is handed to a customer at the Sweet Retreat Ice Cream and More booth.

Workers at The Grove Brew House of Kingsville prepare pitchers of beer.

Live music was offered by various performers during the monthly Mill Street Night Market Friday, June 7.

A large crowd of visitors peruses Mill Street West in Leamington Friday, June 7 for the second monthly Mill Street Night Market. This month’s gathering drew nearly 50 vendors of various food options, handcrafted goods, clothing, antiques and beverages including wines and craft beer selections. Live music and children’s activities were also featured during the gathering, which closes off motor vehicle traffic from Erie Street to the east to Fox Street at the west end. This is the second Mill Street Market and attendance more than doubled from the first one held in May. Warmer temperatures and better weather brought out more people and vendors. The next Mill Street Night Market will take place on the evening of Friday, July 5 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Is It Time for New Dentures?

Some Tell-Tale Signs You Need to Call Your Denturist

By Eric Kukucka, DD President, The Denture Center You’re out to dinner at one of your favourite restaurants, but you’re going to pass on your usual dish tonight. It sounds as appetizing as ever, but your gums have been a bit tender this week. You can still chew, of course, but the soup will just be less hassle.

You’re visiting your parents for Sunday lunch, and you can’t help but notice that your mother has taken out her dentures to eat. On the other side of the table, your father seems to wince in discomfort and reach for his cheek every so often. He tries to hide it, but you can tell he’s uncomfortable.

You’re visiting an old friend who seems in good spirits but isn’t quite as talkative as normal. Come to think of it, you’ve noticed that she’s been retreating in social situations where she normally would have sparked to life. When she does laugh you’ve noticed that she covers her mouth.

You or your loved one already have the dentures.

Shouldn’t all this be over?

The truth is, if your dentures cause you daily discomfort, if your mouth and gums are red or inflamed, or if you find yourself biting the side of your mouth or cheek, it may be time to replace or refresh them. While many people in situations like these suffer in silence, we need to work to end this stigma. Untreated, symptoms of worn-out dentures can lead to real consequences.

In some cases, a change in your oral health producing symptoms like receding gums, bone loss in the jaw and around the teeth, or tooth loss can even be a sign of a serious bone condition like osteoporosis. Statistically, women older than 50 who do have osteoporosis require new dentures three times more frequently than the average woman.

Moreover, physicians report that older, vulnerable patients with significant tooth loss who don’t wear effective dentures can suffer from meaning-

ful nutritional deficiencies.

Even if your mouth feels great, it’s important to consider the realistic lifespan of an oral prosthetic.

No matter how they feel, if your dentures are visibly cracked, chipped, or stained, that’s normally a telltale sign they’ve reached the end of their useful life. In addition to making you look and feel older than you are, a worn-out denture will likely begin to fit and function poorly, leading to potentially significant issues.

Alternatively, while yours may look as good as new, even the highest quality dentures will remain effective for somewhere between five and seven years. Fortunately, most dental insurance policies will pay for a new denture every five years.

In any case, it is important to visit with your denturist regularly to check the fit and function of your removable smile. Many denture wearers make the mistake of avoiding follow-up visits with their denturist once they’ve received a new prosthetic.

So, what are you waiting for? At your next follow-up appointment, your denturist will carefully examine your mouth for sore spots, and, when necessary, make small adjustments so you continue to be comfortable with your new smile. Once a year, you should also make an appointment with your dentist for an annual recall exam, at which time they will examine all your tissues and your entire oral cavity.

If you’re at all concerned that something in this article sounds familiar, it’s time to make a complimentary consultation appointment – for yourself or a loved one – to visit The Denture Center. Contact our team via phone or the web today to set up a happier, healthier, more comfortable tomorrow.

Minor Midget Lakers travel to London for great weekend of baseball The Leamington U16 Minor Midget Lakers, sponsored

by Sawensberg Fabricating, travelled to London this past weekend, June 7-9, and played some terrific baseball.

On Friday night they beat the Markham Mariners 5-2.

Their first game on Saturday saw the Lakers face North York Blues where they turned in a 7-2 victory. In a battle for first place in the division and a chance to move on, the Lakers defeated the Halton Hills Lakers 7-0 on

Kingsville ladies 18 hole league post results It’s been a wet and slow start to the golf season, but the ladies 18-hole league at Kingsville Golf & Country Club is a hardy group. On May 21 and 28, they played their net eclectic game where they recorded their best net score for each hole.

After dodging raindrops and skirting puddles, these golfers came in first and second in each flight: Silver -Cindy Fields 65 net, Patty Marcus 68 net; A Flight - Lucille Kraus 65 net, Jane Webber 67 net; B Flight - Shirley Jacuzzi 70 net, Cindy Brush 71 net; C Flight - Roz Knight 59 net, Maria Rocca 67 net.

On June 4, the league played net stableford, where points were assigned based on the net score for each hole. This was a team event so members wore their colours proudly.

Here are the top results based on teams: Purple - Mary Jo Laforet 20 points, Jackie Lively 19; Red - Maureen Nefs 35, Shirley Jacuzzi and Cindy Fields with 19 each; Yellow - Joanne Rowlandson 17, Patty Marcus 11; Blue - Roz Knight 20, Bev Miller and Wali Forster with 16 each. Overall team standings: Red - 88 points, Purple 69, Blue - 66, Yellow - 66.

One of the groups playing that day had a special treat.

Alyssa Getty, a recent graduate from UNLV on a golf scholarship, joined them for the round.

Saturday evening.

On Sunday morning the team was up against the Windsor Hawks in semi-final action. The boys kept the momentum, putting up a stellar 11-1 victory.

In the finals, the team met up with the host London West Tin Caps. After trailing 7-0 in the early going, the boys brought it back to 7-5 but fell short in the end losing 9-6.

Dutchy tops TT senior golfers On a beautiful, sunny June 4, 59 seniors played their weekly league game at Talbot Trail golf club. Despite some wet areas, Derek permitted the carts out using the 90º rule.

Although it was easy to lose your plugged ball on some parts of the course, there were a number of players who had no difficulty at all. Jim (Dutchy) Hawrylyk shot a spectacular one under par 35 to lead the way. Jim also won the closest to the pin on #9 when he hit a scintillating shot to within 3.5 feet of the pin. Bill Edwards demonstrated his outstanding putting prowess as he drained an 18 footer on # 2 to win the long putt.

Joe Drummond continued his excellent play by firing a superb 37. One shot back of Joe was Jamie (Arqy) Arquette who shot a terrific 38. Jim Pearson and Dave (Omier) Omstead earned superb scores of 40 and 41 respectively.

Here are some other very commendable scores that were achieved: Bill Ward 43; Randy Nash, OV, Vic Reynaert 44s; Paul Brown 45; and Tim Stevenson, Richard Hum-

ber, Joe Vrtel, Shannon Wiper and Rick (Scoop) Epplett 46.

Super senior Murray Cascadden merited a sensational 46.

Scotty Westrop was only a few shots back. Other over 80 golfers who earned very commendable results were Tom Hyatt, Ed Woelk, Neil Adamson and Gerry Becigneul.

Members thank Dan Tymec and his buddy Doug Langlois, for doing an excellent job barbecuing the sausages and hamburgers.

Derek and his crew are working really hard to get the course in top shape. Hopefully, Mother Nature cooperates by turning off her faucet. We pray that the farmers will be able to get their plants in the ground soon. Caleb, the clubhouse manager, is working extra hard with his staff as all this rain also causes lots of headaches for all the inside workers.

The league’s first scramble takes place on Tuesday, June 18.

“Why am I using a new putter? It’s because the last one didn’t float very well.”

1936 Chrysler Airflow easy on gas In 1934, the Chrysler Corporation proudly introduced the Chrysler Airflow, a car years ahead of its time with its “waterfall” grille, two-piece V-shaped windshield, engineering excellence and aerodynamic body. It remained in production for the next three years.

While having coffee at McDonalds in Leamington, I photographed Bill Willms with his 1936 Chrysler Airflow, a car he has owned for 30 years.

Before he got it, he had to make an important deBill Sherk cision: whether to go to the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Arizona and place the winning bid on a fully restored 1936 Chrysler Airflow, complete with whitewalls and fenders skirts, or opt for the diecast model of a 1936 Chrysler Airflow, complete with whitewalls and fender skirts.

He made his decision and it was a wise one. With his diecast model, he will never have to stop at a service station for gas and he will never have to check the oil. In fact, his model car doesn’t even have a dipstick.

Because his battery (what battery?) will never go dead, he never has to carry jumper cables in the trunk. And who cares if the radiator never gets checked? He doesn’t have one!

He never looks for parking spaces because he can fit his Airflow inside his Jeep and take it anywhere he wants to go. His tires will never lose air, the treads will never wear out, and he will never have to carry a spare.

His Airflow doesn’t have windshield wipers and he never needs Bill Willms with his 1936 Chrysler Airflow. them because he never takes his classic car out in the rain! And his Airflow came equipped with its own garage (a cardboard box). How many new cars come with a garage?

Bill’s 1936 Chrysler Airflow is still years ahead of its time because there’s nobody in the car! With all the talk these days of driverless cars being the cars of the future, Bill’s driverless Airflow will fit right in.

Here’s a prediction. As soon as we see driverless cars everywhere, someone will install driverless technology in a classic car and start driving it around. And that first driverless classic car might be a full-size 1936 Chrysler Airflow!

I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca

Lasers make waves at regionals

By Bryan Jessop

The members of the Leamington Lasers swim team may be youths of various ages, but the highlight of 2018-’19 marked a ‘Sweet 16’ of sorts.

The now nearly completed competitive swimming season featured 16 meets for the Lasers, who sent 11 qualifiers to the 2019 Western Ontario Regionals event hosted by the Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre over the Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2 weekend. There, the group of nearly a dozen Leamington swimmers earned a combined 16 medals in both gender categories in various age and discipline divisions.

Five members of the Lasers captured multiple medals while three qualified for the LC Festivals in Markham for the June 14-16 weekend. The LC Festivals, essentially the Swim Ontario provincial championships, will include Bianca Grossi, Lorenzo Flores and Zack Monminie of the Leamington team. Additionally, the Lasers’ Luke Pettypiece has qualified for the 2019 Ontario Youth Junior Championships in Brantford June 28-30.

“They’ve made For this season, 44 swimsome impressive mers from ages five to 18 accomplishments joined the Lasers. Five times in their age per week, the group practices groups.” at the Leamington Kinsmen — Ben Recreation Complex pool unBalkwill der the guidance of coaches Ben Balkwill, Liz Campbell, Jennifer Dobson, Mallorey Derksen and Emily Kujbida.

The Leamington team officially hosted five competitions — two in Windsor, including the St. Clair Erie Aquatic League (S.E.A.L.) championships, and three in Leamington.

Medal winners representing the Lasers at the Western Regionals were as follows: • Bianca Grossi (female 10 and under) — gold in 50m

Swimmers and coaches with the Leamington Lasers gather near Burgess’s at the south end of Erie Street South Monday, June 3.

Coaches treated the team members to ice cream at Burgess’s after a strong showing at the 2019 regional tournament in Windsor over the Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2 weekend. The 11 Laser swimmers who qualified for this year’s regionals collected a combined 16 medals at the regionals. Three of the Leamington club’s swimmers qualified for this year’s provincials, to be hosted

“They’ve made some impressive accomplishments in their age groups,” explained Balkwill, the team’s head coach. “For our little team in this community to have a quar-

ter of the kids qualify (for the Western Ontario Regionals) is quite the accomplishment.”

Each year, swimmers of all age groups attend league and regional events aiming to meet the qualifying time to earn an appearance at the next level of competition. Qualifying times vary per age group and if a large number of competitors finish within the required time, that time will be adjusted the following season.

“The qualifying times were made harder this year,” Balkwill noted. “Last year’s regionals were extremely busy.”

This year’s Western Ontario Regionals were attended by 28 teams hailing from communities spanning the Windsor to Guelph corridor, including the seven S.E.A.L. groups. In total, 1,200 swimmers competed for medals and the chance to qualify for the provincials in Markham, where top finishers from the West and five other regions compete.

WHEATLEY – Starting with the next school year, Wheatley’s Warriors will become archers.

The National Archery in School Program (NASP) made its way to the Wheatley Area Public School gymnasium Friday, June 7, where WAPS staff members received training on how to become archery instructors for students. Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters volunteer John Jones, a NASP instructor-trainer, provided a full day of lessons on technique and safety to four of the five WAPS staff who’ll begin providing archery instructions to Grade 4 to 8 students starting as early as September of this year. The fifth WAPS employee will be trained at a later date.

The National Archery in School Program began in the United States before branching out into Canadian provinces. Jones, an avid archer for nearly 40 years, offered the same instructor training sessions at East Mersea Public School in early June of 2016, as well as Tilbury Area Public School and Tilbury District High School. The NASP program is available to all high school students and elementary school students from Grade 4 to 8. Recently, a TDHS archery team finished second in a regional archery competition. “Safety precautions are the first thing we teach them,� Jones explained. “Millions of kids have taken this program and there have been zero incidents — it’s about running the class safely.�

Each NASP full-size school kit includes 10 identical Mathews Genesis bows and five targets. In previous years, the Southwest Outdoors Club partnered with the local branch of Safari Club International to split the costs of the kits 50/50 at East Mersea and both Tilbury schools.

At WAPS, the Southwest Outdoors Club funded the entire $7,232 required to purchase the full-sized kit.

Jones explained that the NASP has been well received by each of the 120plus schools it has been introduced to in Ontario over the last four years, which also includes schools in Belle River, Kingsville and Ridgetown. The archery program, he explained, is known to help many students improve their ability to focus. “They’re told that if they aren’t behaving and acting responsibly, they can’t shoot,� Jones said. “The kids absolutely love it. Archery is something that levels the playing field — you don’t have to be a super athlete to do it, but SCRAMBLE ANSWER it makes a lot of kids feel like athletes.�

Although all participating schools work the archery program into their schedules at any time during the school year where time permits, the spring months have proven most popular. East Mersea offers archery to its students during the months of May and June and as Jones explained, this time of year is typically the most popular for regional tournaments. “Hopefully, we’ll see more schools in this area introduced to archery so we can have some local tournaments,� noted Southwest Outdoors Club president Dan Reive.

All the Erie Shores Proggers were thankful for a chance to play on June 4, although the rough was thick and spongy. The fairways were great, but most of the proggers don’t play from there. I bet that was surprising news.

Frank Gow smashed his ball on #13, the long par 3. The ball hit the pin on the fly and ended up at the back of the green. Typical of Frank’s skill, he managed to 3 putt. He did get a point, though.

Ken Segedin posted a whopping +9, along with Garth Dennerley. Ken’s score has been questioned since he was spotted hitting from the yellow tee blocks on the par 5, number 6. Apparently, this was Ken’s second shot so Bob Dick needs to apologize.

Our group struggled. Ron Koop was -10, Dennis McDonald was -9, Bill Conn was -8 and I was -6. We played a lot from the rough, except for Bill whose ball resided most of the time on the fairway.

His putting, on the other hand, reminded me of Barry Miller, a famous putter in his own right. Bill’s score could have been so much better.

Team A $10 winners: Ken Segedin, Greg Dunmore, Dick Segewdin, Henry Hildebrandt, Jim Chobdra, Wayne Wiseman, Ron Koop, Dan Musuronchan, Bob Park, Neil Reimer, Bill Slater, Jim Sudds, Neil Sawatzky, Norm Beattie (snake). $17 each for first high plus: Ken Segedin and Garth Dennerley. $5 each tie for third high plus: Ken Steingart and Kevin Shaften.

Skins - $26 each: Orest Hrynewich #1, Alden Warner #2, Neil Reimer #3 and Wayne Oehlerking #5.

A big shout out to Mike Toth and his crew. It’s incredible that the golfers have been able to play considering the rainfall that has swamped the course.

Mike, aka Aquaman, is an incredible greenskeeper and person. Make sure you take the time to thank Mike and his crew for their diligence.

Mosquito Majors win Lakers Classic The Leamington Lakers Mosquito Majors, sponsored by Leamington Chevy-Buick-GMC, successfully defended their title at the Lakers Classic Tournament this past weekend, June 7-9, at the Kinsmen Diamonds.

The Lakers went through the weekend 6-0 in a performance over three days that required significant contributions from every member of the team, but it was not without its drama.

In the first of four round robin games on Friday, the Lakers were up against LaSalle Titans in a game that set the tone for the weekend. Bats were firing from the outset in a game the Lakers won 34-7, with 16 runs coming in the fifth inning alone, courtesy of Carter Chorba, Josh Joseph, Rhys Tipper, Zack Liebrock, Trent Szorvas and Chris Joseph.

Game two saw the Lakers face Waterloo for the first time and they kept up the momentum, finishing the game in three innings with a score of 21-3. Dou-

bles from Grant Symons and Owen Deneau set the tone, and Kurtis Joseph wrapped things up with four strikeouts in his two innings pitched.

The first game on Saturday morning proved a lot tougher against Sarnia in a pivotal game. Symons led things off on the hill, striking out four over two innings despite taking a full blooded drive to the shin midway through the first inning. Noah Friesen, Maxwell Carr, J. Joseph and Matthew Giesbrecht all collected multiple hits as the Lakers raced into a six-run lead, which was very nearly erased. Sarnia came back strongly in the final innings, but Liebrock came from the bullpen to steady the ship and close out a tense game, winning 13-11.

With a place in the semifinals now secure, there was still first place to play for against Tecumseh, who had also already qualified. Max Carr was given the start and produced an outstanding display, pitching all six innings without allowing a single run. Tecumseh was

never given a chance to get going with the Lakers’ well drilled defence proving impenetrable. The offence was just as strong with six bases stolen throughout the game and five runs scored in the fifth to put the game to bed.

It finished 11-0.

Sunday morning was semi-final time against Essex. The Lakers got off to a slow start and found themselves 9-2 down in the third and looking doomed before they rose from their slumber and came alive. With bases loaded, Friesen hit a triple in the fourth to bring in three runs and the boys never looked back after that. Tipper hit a home run in the fifth to bring in two more and the pendulum had swung in their favour. Tipper pitched the last three innings for the loss of zero runs and a defence that committed no errors. The Lakers won out 13-9 and headed to the final.

Giesbrecht took the mound for the championship game and was immediately in the groove, striking out the first six batters. With

Solid Waste Authority launches mercury collection ESSEX COUNTY – The Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA) has launched a pioneering collection sweep – Mercury Roundup – encouraging residents to bring mercury-containing items to the Municipal Hazardous Waste Depot for safe disposal.

The groundbreaking program is designed to divert a toxic chemical – liquid mercury – from the waste stream.

Although it occurs naturally, mercury is extremely dangerous. Exposure to even small amounts can cause serious health problems, with toxic effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, and on lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes.

It can also contaminate soil and water and cause catastrophic damage to natural ecosystems. Proper handling and disposal are critical.

There are many older mercury-containing products still lingering in people’s basements, garages and storage units.

Items include: thermostats, thermometers, button batteries, barometers, compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), fluorescent tube lighting, outdoor area lighting, relay switches, blood pressure gauges, manometers, tilt switches, pressure switches, hygrometers, float switches, hydrometers, flame sensors, pyrometers, vacuum gauges and loose liquid mer-

cury. Visit www.MercuryRoundup.ca/Essex-Windsor to see a full description of the items containing mercury that you may have in your home.

“We want to make sure these products don’t get thrown into the garbage accidentally, where they pose a risk to the environment,” said Cat Griffin, EWSWA Communications Specialist. “Our next priority for Mercury Roundup is to inform Essex-Windsor residents about the many types of older products containing mercury and to bring them in for safe disposal. To encourage safe disposal at an EWSWA site, residents will receive a digital thermometer free of charge when they drop off their mercury-containing products.”

There is no cost for Essex-Windsor residents to bring in mercury-containing products. Locally, items can be dropped off at Transfer Station #2 (Kingsville), 2021 Albuna Townline (County Rd. 31), Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m.4:45 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m.-1:45 p.m.

In partnership with Scout Environmental and funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Essex-Windsor has become one of the first regions to launch the Mercury Roundup program that will expand to six other Ontario municipalities by 2021.

“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
