OEB makes public presentation on Hydro One rate increase Ten rate increases since 2011, says MPP Rick Nicholls

By Pat Bailey Howard Huy is not optimistic. As a large Local Distribution Company (LDC) customer, the Leamington greenhouse grower was on hand at Thursday evening’s (June 15) Ontario Energy Board rate review meeting at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex “to put in my two cents on what is happening”.

“The OEB (Ontario Energy Board) was just giving lip service to the community,” said Huy. The OEB is the province’s independent energy regulator to which energy suppliers must apply to when seeking rate increases.

Following the meeting, Huy said he firmly believes that Hydro One will get its requested five-year distribution rate increase, beginning in 2018.

But in a presentation by the OEB, representative Kristi Sebalj told about 50 area residents that nothing has been decided yet and she expects the rate review process to take about nine months. She said the OEB is hosting a series of community meetings across the province to give consumers the opportunity to participate in the board’s review of Hydro One’s most recent application to increase its distribution rates.

“The OEB helps control costs for all consumers by reviewing and testing the requested rate change through an open, robust and inclusive rate review process,” said Sebalj.

“We work hard to keep rates as low as possible while making sure utilities have what they need to keep the lights on,” she added.

Sebalj said the distribution rate is a utility’s costs of providing distribution service (such as operations, maintenance, administrative expenses and capital projects) with a fair return on equity. She said utilities must show that they are doing everything possible to be more efficient and to keep improving.

Oded Hubert, vice-president of regulatory for Hydro One, told the group the goal for Hydro One is to make a safe and reliable system in the face of an ever-aging infrastructure.

Hubert said the requested increase is necessary to cover the replacement of poles that have already exceeded their 62-year lifespan.

If given approval, Hydro One delivery charges could mean an increase of about $2.79 a month for the next five years, beginning in January 2018.

For local greenhouse grower Gerry Mastronardi, any increase is too much. He told the OEB the current hydro rates, coupled with cap and trade, have already made for a challenging year for his family business. Mastronardi said if rates continue to rise he predicts a bleak future for his business.

“I don’t see a future for my sons in this business,” said Mastronardi.

169th Leamington Fair a resounding success

By Pat Bailey Despite the heat and humidity and a few cloud bursts, the 169th Annual Leamington District Agricultural Society’s Fair was a resounding success.

Agricultural Society president Tammy Wiper was thrilled by its success. She said following Friday night’s wrestling extravaganza, wrestlers such as headliner Koko B. Ware and others stayed and sang and visited with fairgoers for the rest of the evening.

Children’s Day on Saturday kept the fairgrounds busy, with youngsters daring to board the rides for the thrill of a lifetime, trying their luck at the games of chance and skill, enjoying a snow cone, a hot dog or a little cotton candy, and then making their way to the grandstand for the annual bike draw.

“We do know on Saturday,” said Wiper, “we blew attendance out of the water.”

Twenty lucky youngsters took home a brand new bike on Saturday with another 20 given away as a bonus on Sunday.

Saturday night it was standing room only as the engines revved for the annual demolition derby.

“Our demo derby has grown by leaps and bounds,” said Wiper, “thanks to Frank Niehus who has graciously taken on this huge venture.”

And when it came to the farm animals, Wiper said director Dave Affleck did an outstanding job making sure the newest building to the grounds, the paddock, was ready to play host.

The Janette Mulholland Activity Centre, Grain Farmers of Canada, Chicken Farmer of Canada, Polly the interactive cow, the tremendous display of vintage and new farm tractors and implements, Dresser’s Honey and the Leamington Mersea Historical Society helped keep the agricultural aspect of the fair in the forefront.

The gathering will also offer food, beverages, healthy snacks, entertainment by Jamming For Wellness, Alice Hesselrode and Christie Nelson, a glimpse at the Connecting Neighbours Fair, give aways, door prizes and the chance to offer feedback in determining “what kind of community do we want to be next?”

The new community care system being implemented

by Windsor-Essex CCC will allow all members of the public to contribute to identifying and addressing barriers to a high quality of life and to reach out to individuals in distress. The Launch Week stop at SPH in Leamington will also introduce the Shining A Light On Compassion Awards.

For more information on the Windsor-Essex Compassion Care Community, visit the website www.weccc.ca, the organization’s Facebook page at Weccc or on Twitter at @infoWecc. The program is supported by the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network as well as the Greenshield Canada Foundation.

Relocation of catering business depends on zoning amendment

By Pat Bailey Plans for the relocation of a local catering establishment will depend on Leamington Council’s decision on the requested zoning bylaw amendment on a parcel of property situated across from the new Leamington District Secondary School at 75 Oak St. W. Council is expected to receive a further report on this request at the June 26 meeting.

Last week, Council hosted a public meeting to consider a zoning bylaw amendment for the property but no one appeared to voice any objections.

Heather Jablonski, MCIP, RPP Development Planner, told Council Carmen’s Catering is hoping to move into the building, owned by Pencor Developments Inc., and expand her catering services. But Council was told catering is currently not a permitted use under the zoning bylaw.

Consultant Jackie Lassaline told Council there are no plans for the business to become a restaurant. She said it will strictly serve as a catering service with about 95 percent dedicated to the catering portion of the business, and five per cent expected to include the retail sale of prepared foods.

She the expansion of the business is necessary for additional cooking and storage facilities. The actual prepared food will be delivered to a variety of off-site locations.

Council is expected to make a decision on June 26

Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP Rick Nicholls also expressed opposition to any rate increase. He said maybe Hydro One should instead reduce the “outrageous” salaries of its CEO and other executives before looking to the consumers for additional funds.

He said his office has been inundated with phone calls and emails urging him to fight the increase on their behalf.

Nicholls said the area has already lost substantial investment to the United States because of the high electricity rates. He said both Nature Fresh and Mucci Farms have instead headed south of the border, investing hundreds of mil-

“Wrecked” ’em? Darn near killed ’em!

The absolute pleasure of a colonoscopy was bestowed upon me a couple of weeks ago.

After some issues in February with my belly, I was booked for the old rectum invasion on June 8. As an added bonus, they decided to do a scope down my gullet (as my mom would say) as well.

For those of you who have enjoyed these tests before, you’ll likely agree that the prep is worse than the actual procedure.

The prep has changed a bit since my last invasion of the booty snatchers, some six years ago.

The ‘end result’ is likely the same. The new stuff just seems more efficient, if you will.

Those old stubby bottles of Citromag have been replaced by three pills and some powder that I can only guess was once used to clear the Trans-Canada Highway through northern Ontario.

Unlike the last time when I had to stop eating three days prior, the new method allows you to eat up until the day before, at which time you can still eat Jello and drink clear fluids.

Then the fun begins.

The three pills go in first (orally of course) and I can only assume they are the kickstarter. I really didn’t feel anything more than a rumble or two. I found out later that they are time-release, each set to ‘go off’ at a different time.

A couple hours later you get to drink the love potion number nine that’s been fermenting in the fridge for eight hours.

It was a lovely concoction indeed. When they said “refrigerating it for many hours improves the taste,” I knew I was in for a treat.

Imagine mixing water and baking soda and then adding a shot of that bubble gum flavour they use in kids cough syrup.

Then drinking a litre of it in rapid fashion.

As I was drinking it, I was gagging and clenching at the same time. It’s quite a coordination of reflexes, I must say.

If I ever doubted I could walk and chew gum at the same time, those doubts are now eliminated.

After choking down the cleansing solution, you play the waiting game.

They say it works within an hour for most people. I believe I waited just a little longer than that. It’s like being a passenger on the Titanic with ESP, and just waiting for it to hit the iceberg.

In reality, the cleansing wasn’t as bad as I remembered from before.

Nurse Debbie took good care of me, once she was done eating her Whopper and Poutine combo. Actually, she was very helpful and sympathetic to my plight. She offered to go eat in the bedroom, but I insisted she at least let me have a smell.

A final litre of the ‘koolaid from hell’ was ingested early the next morning.

I had until noon to think about all the doom and gloom I could muster.

My arrival at the hospital was met with little fanfare. I re-

luctantly registered and began MARK the ascent to the first floor RIBBLE waiting room.

I was ushered into day surgery and weighed and meaRib’s sured, assuming, in my sea of Ramblings negativity, they were sending those results directly to Reid’s on Russell.

After a short conversation with the nurse and an even shorter encounter with something called Fleet, I was prepped and ready for the big ‘double scope’.

After awhile, one of the nurses came to put in my IV. She could not get my veins to cooperate and I’m thinking now that I was likely dehydrated from the cleansing.

Having foregone the IV, I was wheeled into the O.R. around 2 p.m., where the doctor and a couple of O.R. nurses awaited my arrival.

They were also awaiting the arrival of the anesthetist. He was going to have to insert my IV, as apparently I was a special case in that regard.

He arrived just as they were about to apply the first of the tubes into my personal space. He quickly got the IV in and administered a heavenly substance that knocked me out quicker than a Brutus Beefcake sleeper hold.

When I awoke, I felt some movement down below and wondered, for a brief moment, how I’d fallen asleep at a hospital and woke up at a men’s prison.

My instinct to jump up and run out, dragging the hoses and tubes behind me, was overtaken by the anesthetic’s power to keep me down, without a care in the world.

As it turns out, they were finished and wheeled me into recovery where a cup of cranberry juice and two social tea cookies awaited my attention.

It was a welcomed sight after not eating for the past 40+ hours.

The doctor came in swiftly with the news that my lower extremities were fairly clean, except for the long-standing diverticulosis I had and one ‘tiny’ polyp, which he removed.

He said my esophagus was very inflamed from severe gastric reflux and promptly prescribed a medication for that, booked me a follow up in the fall and said goodbye. I was out of there by 3 p.m.

I was cautioned to eat soft food and liquids for dinner that night, due to my throat being ravaged by the procedure, which I did, but followed it up with half a bag of Ruffles a little later.

Ruffles have ridges. Did you know that?

All-in-all, a humbling and necessary procedure, made better by the staff at the newly named Erie Shores HealthCare, formerly LDMH. I never once felt in danger or concerned. They were friendly, caring and professional and I thank them from the bottom of my… um… heart.

Government of Canada helps make workplaces and communities more accessible through call for proposals During National AccessAbility Week, as we recently celebrated, highlighted and promoted inclusion and accessibility across Canada, we were especially aware of how greatly society benefits when all Canadians can participate equally in their workplaces and communities.

To help achieve a more accessible Canada, the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities, invited businesses, community organizations and other eligible recipients to apply for funding through the 2017 Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) Call for Proposals.

Canadians with disabilities face challenges every day, which prevent them from participating fully in their communities and the economy. Through programs such as the EAF, the Government of Canada is committed to reducing these accessibility barriers and ensuring that everyone has equal access and opportunity.

This call for proposals includes Workplace Accessibility and Community Accessibility funding streams.

The EAF Workplace Accessibility Stream gives eligible businesses and other employers across Canada the opportunity to submit funding proposals for projects that improve accessibility and safety for people with disabilities through the construction, renovation or retrofit of workplaces and the provision of accessible information and communications technologies.

The EAF Community Accessibility Stream provides funding for projects that help improve accessibility and safety

through the construction, renovation or retrofit of community facilities and the provision of accessible information and communications technologies so that community programs and services can be accessed by people with disabilities.

Businesses with up to 99 full‑time equivalent employees and community organizations can receive government grant project funding of up to $50,000. Not-for-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, small municipalities (population under 125,000), Indigenous organizations (including band councils, tribal councils and self-government entities) and territorial governments are eligible to apply.

Eligible applicants in all provinces and territories can submit proposals until Wednesday, July 26, 2017.

In addition to this call for proposals, and in celebration of Canada 150, a portion of the 2017–18 EAF funding budget will support a pilot project for up to 150 youth-driven projects aimed at increasing accessibility in community facilities and workplaces across Canada. The maximum funding per project will be $10,000. Youth interested in participating will identify accessibility barriers in public places or workplaces in their communities and/or surrounding communities and seek out interested organizations willing to work with them to lead the development of accessibility project proposals.

For more information about how to submit proposals, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-socialdevelopment/services/funding/enabling-accessibility-fund. html

Correction A front page story in the Wednesday, June 14 edition of The Sun indicated that the Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington operates without the assistance of government support programming. The Erie St. Clair Local Health Integrated Network (LHIN) supports each bed at the local Hospice, with the balance of required funding to be raised locally. The Life Walk event was organized to help accommodate the difference between operational costs and LHIN funding.

Abridged Opera’s summer season features strong women in opera

Abridged Opera begins their summer season this Sunday, June 25 at 2:30 p.m. with a Duelling Divas concert in Leamington at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 311 Sherk St. Tickets info: 226-346-8372.

No more unlocking fees for locked cellphones

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has announced that as of December 1, 2017, all individual and small business wireless service customers will have the right to have their cellphones and other mobile devices unlocked free of charge upon request.

In addition, all newly purchased devices must be provided unlocked from that day forward.

As well, updates to the trial period will allow customers who are unhappy with their service to cancel their contract within 15 days and return their device in near-new condition at no costs, as long as they have used less than half their monthly usage limits.

The CRTC also clarified certain rules that are already in place under the Wireless Code. For family or shared plans, the account holder must, by default, be the one who consents to data overage and data roaming charges beyond the established caps ($50 and $100 per month, respectively).

Wireless service providers may, however, allow account holders to authorize other users on a family or shared plan to consent to additional charges.

The CRTC also made clear that in all instances, the caps apply on a per account basis, regardless of the number of devices associated with the account. These clarifications apply immediately.

Finally, there were various interpretations of a wireless plan’s key terms in the marketplace and the CRTC has clarified that they include voice, text and data services. These terms cannot be unilaterally changed by the service provider during the contract period without the account holder’s express consent. These clarifications apply immediately.

The Wireless Code is a mandatory code of conduct for providers of retail mobile wireless voice and data services.

The CRTC created the Code in 2013 to make it easier for Canadians to understand their mobile contracts, to switch service providers, and to prevent bill shock. The Code promotes a dynamic marketplace by empowering Canadians to make informed choices about their wireless services and establishing standards for industry behaviour.

By Ron Giofu Teams comprised of wineries, growers and chefs from all around Essex County gathered at Pelee Island Winery Friday night, June 16, to have fun and to raise a few bucks in the process.

“Battle of the Growers” was presented by United Way and several sponsors, including presenting sponsor Libro Credit Union, with six teams competing. Proceeds from the evening go towards the “On Track” program that United Way sponsors in Leamington.

Local growers, wineries, chefs as well as students in the On Track program competed in teams to create a delicious small plate appetizer-sized dish for 250 guests. The evening was designed to bring together members of the Ontario greenhouse industry and vegetable growers in a friendly competition. The hook was that the team had to use a vegetable or fruit supplied by the participating grower.

“We put a group of women from the county together and said ‘what can we do that would be different’,” explained Danielle Moldovan, relationship manager, major gifts and planned giving with United Way. Moldovan noted the “bounty of the county” included many great restaurants, farms and wineries to create an event for all of them.

“We decided to pair them together,” said Moldovan.

Judges included Amherstburg Mayor Aldo DiCarlo, Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos and Councillor Tony Gaffan, Leamington Deputy-Mayor Hilda MacDonald, and Tourism Windsor-Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) vice president Lynnette Bain.

The On Track program has Grade 9 and 10 cohorts in Leamington and assists students who have challenges in their lives and may not be able to succeed as well in high school without the program. Students gain support through the program in both their education and their lives with the program helping to place them on the path to prosperity and a better life.

Students can also obtain tuition support for post-secondary education.

Karen Brady, interim vice president of marketing and communications with United Way, said students are identified in Grade 8 for possible enrollment into the On Track program.

About 15-20 students per year go through the On Track program in Leamington, with an additional program offered in west Windsor. There is a success coach that helps the students along the way, she noted.

The cost to put a student through the program is $6,500 per year.

Lorraine Goddard, CEO at United Way Windsor-Essex County, said those who grow up in economically disadvantaged families face numerous challenges but the program helps students with self-esteem and puts them on a path to success.

“This event is going to help kids in our community change the odds,” she said, adding they will be able to return to the community after getting education, get jobs and help build the communities they live in.

The winning team included two Amherstburg businesses – Smashed Apple Gourmet Catering and Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery. They teamed with Highline Mushrooms from Kingsville.

Bill Deslippe, chef at Smashed Apple, said they were very busy on the night but he was happy to be there.

“It’s all for a good cause,” he said.

Jody Goslin, master taster at Oxley Estate Winery, said they were approached by Pelee Island Winery about helping out United Way and its On Track program.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Goslin. “We’re all in this together.”

“I could go on and on,” said Wiper, “everything here at the fairgrounds we do is a joy!”

But she said it is definitely teamwork that makes the fair successful year after year. “We have a strong board that steps up to the plate under the direction of the committee heads and they get the job done in spectacular fashion!” said Wiper.

She said the work of this group is a prime example of volunteerism at its best — for the last 169 years.

And she promises that they have already begun work on next year’s milestone event — the 170th fair.

“Look out Leamington,” she said, “we are pulling out the stops on this one!”

It’s been a good year, she added, but said that is due in large part to the many sponsors who donated toward the goals and success of the Agricultural Society’s goals.

“We sure do appreciate it all,” she added.

St-Michel celebrates new greenhouse

By Bryan Jessop

A project that blossomed from a student’s thoughtful idea into a finished product proved cause for four celebrations in one at Ecole St-Michel.

Leamington’s French Catholic elementary school marked the completion of its now fully-functional, miniature scale greenhouse with a four-in-one occasion Thursday, June 8.

The greenhouse’s grand opening ceremony was flanked by an outdoor school carnival, an indoor Aboriginal art expo and a Buick Drive For Your Students fundraiser presented

by Leamington GM. The idea for an on-site greenhouse at the school was suggested by Ecole St-Michel student Ryder Grossi — son of Anthony Grossi of Grossi Construction — to current Grade 1 teacher Serrah Gossmann about two years ago.

The notion started as a suggestion to make a small structure out of available lumber to grow a handful of vegetables and from there expanded into the eight-metre by eight-metre (26’ 3” square) greenhouse that was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 6 p.m. on June 8. A crowd of guests gathered around the new facility, centred in the school’s courtyard area. Ecole St-Michel principal Richard Szwed and Gossmann announced words of thanks and gratitude to the lengthy list of community partners who supported the project financially, with materials and supplies or with volunteer guidance and labour prior to the ribbon cutting, led by Conseil Scolaire Catholique Providence school board superintendent Denis Robert, Ryder Grossi and Cole Gossmann.

“There were a lot of amazing people involved in this project,” said Serrah. “It’s the kids that make it all worthwhile.

This is such a giving community, with partners who are so willing to get involved — you name it, it was all given to us.

It turned out better than anything I could have ever imagined.”

Gossmann explained that Orangeline Farms offered much of the expertise on how to carry through with the project, which included glass and a roof system imported from Holland. The remainder of the building was fabricated by South

Ecole St-Michel principal Richard Szwed offers words of thanks to supporters prior to the grand opening of the school’s greenhouse — with members of Les Pouces Verts (The Green Thumbs) listening on — at the school Thursday, June 8.

Essex Fabricating on Seneca Drive in Leamington, which was responsible for the design along with Nature Fresh Farms. The gutter and irrigation system was donated by Meteor Systems while the footings and cement work was provided courtesy of Grossi Construction.

The greenhouse was erected in November of last year and welcomed its first plants in March of this year. The structure is now home to several plants and vegetables including tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, chives, eggplants and about 30 other edible varieties. For next year, Gossmann noted, the school hopes to have enough produce to bring to the Leamington Farmers Market at the Leamington Fairgrounds. Students who are members of the school’s Les Pouces Verts (The Green Thumbs) help maintain the greenhouse’s inventory on a daily basis, primarily during recess breaks.

“It’s pretty exciting — they love it,” said Gossmann of students volunteering to tend to the greenhouse. “They’re getting the entire experience from seed to table. They now understand how much work goes into our food and why they shouldn’t waste it. They appreciate the greenhouse in-

During the greenhouse grand opening and school carnival, Leamington GM oversaw the Buick Drive For Your Students along the school’s front laneway. For each vehicle test driven, a donation of $20 was made to the school and its programming, up to a maximum of $10,000. Money raised at St-Michel will support its greenhouse and other projects.

Inside, art teacher Eric Brule and his student volunteers — dubbed “The Group of Seven” — set up a display of artwork made by pupils from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. The pieces on display were copies of art sent to Michikan Lake School in Bear Skin Lake, located in Northern Ontario. The same school received a shipment of donations collected by Ecole St-Michel in December of last year.

“The students really got into it,” said Brule. “The whole thing was very well thought out. We’re getting everyone to see that there’s meaning behind the art.”

Several math awards for LDSS students

By Bryan Jessop Another school year has translated into another impressive collection of math competition awards for students at Leamington District Secondary School.

Members of the LDSS Mathematics Club again took part in the University of Waterloo’s Centre For Excellence in Mathematics and Computing competitions and once again ranked high amid their fellow zone schools from across Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton. The first round of contests were the Beaver Computing Challenge for Grade 9 and 10 entries, held last autumn. During the winter and spring of this year, LDSS participants were among the thousands who took part from across Canada in either multiple choice or written contests, respectively.

For the Beaver Computing Contest, LDSS produced three entries who earned certificates for finishing in the top 25 per cent across the country. The honours went to Eddy Neufeld, Ethan Jeffery and Brady Malott, the latter who was also recognized for the highest Grade 10 score. Cameron Dueck earned the highest score in the Grade 9 Pascal Contest, and along with Journey Moo, Luke Gabert and Naomi Tiessen, scored within the top 10 per cent Canada wide.

As teams, LDSS also ranked high versus their same-zone competitors, consisting of both Public and Catholic boards.

Leamington District Secondary School Math Club winners for the Grade 9 Pascal Contest were from left to right, Cameron Dueck (highest in the school), Journey Moo, Luke Gabert and Naomi Tiessen.

In the multiple choice contests, Leamington’s Grade 9s finished third while its Grade 10s were tied for sixth and the Grade 11 group finished seventh. For the written/ long answer contests, all four LDSS grades finished well within the zone’s top 10. The Grade 9 group was ranked second while the Grade 10s were fifth, Grade 11s third and Grade 12s seventh.

“Once again, LDSS students have results that place them among the top of the region,” explained Leamington District Secondary School math teacher Mary Kay Gabert. “This sets our school up so well for the international baccalaureate program.”

As well as the club performed this year, its future in the University of Waterloo events has the potential to reap even more impressive results. An unusually large percentage of the club’s 30 members are in Grade 9, granting the group the opportunity to rank high in Grade 10, 11 and 12 categories for years to come.

Gleaners make shipment to First Nations

By Bryan Jessop The Southwestern Ontario Gleaners are well known for supporting underprivileged communities overseas, but they’ve recently proven ready, willing and able to help fellow Canadians as well.

On Tuesday, June 13, the Leamington-based SWOG sent away a large shipment of food and other items destined for four First Nation communities in Northern Ontario. The collection of produce, canned goods, dehydrated soup mix and hockey equipment filled a 53-foot trailer from front to back thanks to the support of local growers, schools and other community partners. Southwestern Ontario Gleaners chairperson Vern Toews previously put the call out to Leamington-area greenhouse growers — many of whom have been donors to the charity group’s operations since its inception — for contributions to send to the isolated First Nation settlements.

“We’re so thankful for the support from these growers,” Toews said. “They’ve donated with vegetables and financially too, so they’ve been very supportive of us. We’re trying to prove to First Nations and both levels of government that we can partner with them to a larger scale in the future.”

Donations sent northward included fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers from local greenhouses as well as potatoes, eight skids of processed baby food, mixed vegetables, canned soup, spaghetti, tomato sauce and hockey equipment — the later through an ongoing campaign organized

by Leamington District Secondary School. Tomatoes that

are too ripe for direct consumption will be turned into sauce by a kitchen in Thunder Bay before being flown out further north.

Earlier in the school year, LDSS applied successfully for a $3,000 grant led by science teacher Lisa Jeffery. The school then applied the grant to funding the delivery made on behalf of the Gleaners. The shipment is being driven to Thunder Bay, from where it will be flown to Pickle Lake and then distributed to the four Ontario Indigenous populations farther north.

The dehydrated soup mix has been a common donation produced by the Gleaners since it opened at its location on Industrial Drive. Students from LDSS make visits to the site each Wednesday afternoon to assist with the process while the other Leamington high schools — UMEI and Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School — have also contributed to the Gleaners’ charitable functions. More recently, the soup mix deliveries have been complimented with beef broth packages to make the meals more palatable for younger, more local recipients.

Donors to the most recent delivery have included Cielo Vista Farms, Nature Fresh Farms, Phil Warkentin Farms, Albuna Express, Plentiful Harvest, Top Line Farms/Shippers and Rutlidge Farms. Source For Sports also made additions to the LDSS contribution of hockey equipment — the first answer received when the local school asked the Northern Ontario communities what type of donations they would most appreciate.

From left to right, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners production manager Joel Epp, assistant production manager Todd Stahl, intern Michelle McCormack, administrator Allison Klassen and chairperson Vern Toews reveal a 53-foot trailer loaded with items to be donated to four First Nations communities in Northern Ontario. Fresh produce, canned goods, dehydrated soup mix and hockey equipment were included in the delivery that will be sent to Thunder Bay before being dispersed to the isolated communities by air.

Three years after they started growing their hair, at the annual celebration of Rob’s life held May 21, 2017, John and Tyler gave Rob’s mother, Rev.

Corporations For Community Connections president-CEO and Siemens purchasing manager Philip Schaus presents one of 30 refurbished laptop computers to Leamington District Secondary School Grade 10 student Eddie Neufeld and robotics-Lego engineering teacher Wes Fuerth Tuesday, June 13 following a discussion with Fuerth’s Grade 10 class. The CFCC donated 30 refurbished computers to five different schools in Canada for a sum of 150 in commemoration of Canada’s 150th birthday.

CFCC donates laptops to LDSS

By Bryan Jessop Thanks to Siemens Canada and one of its socially conscientious programs, Leamington District Secondary School will add more equipment to its STEM wing once the new school opens in September.

On Tuesday, June 13, Siemens Canada purchasing manager and Corporations For Community Connections president and CEO Philip Schaus paid a visit to the LDSS Grade 10 Robotics/Lego Engineering class to officially announce the donation of 30 refurbished laptop computers. The laptops were among 150 donated evenly between five high schools across Canada and will act as a boost in support to the new Leamington school’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) department.

The other 120 laptops have been dispersed between secondary schools in Courtenay, B.C., Conception Bay, Nfld., Norway House, Manitoba and Oakville, Ont. for a sum of 150 to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday. The decommissioned computers were refurbished earlier this month and cleaned by a team of 60 volunteers at a workshop led by CFCC, founded by Siemens employees including Schaus about seven years ago.

After files and programs owned by the contributions corporations were erased or removed, each of the 150 Dell laptops was equipped with preloaded versions of design software known as Solid Etch, donated by Siemens and utilized by automotive companies.

From there, they were immediately shipped to the five recipient schools.

The laptops will be used by the robotics and science departments at LDSS, replacing desktop computers that are now three generations — or about 10 years — in age.

“It’ll be nice to compliment the new school in September with new technology,” said LDSS Robotics/Lego Engineering teacher Wes Fuerth. It’s a win-win for all of us. Even though these laptops are three years old, they include cutting-edge technology that’ll allow us to bring the lab all over the school. It’s going to be great.”

“It places us on new grounds — it’s a new experience for us,” said Grade 10 student Eddie Neufeld. “This is something that will allow us to be innovators in our own world. It’ll let us explore.”

Schaus explained that the CFCC program is both environmentally and socially responsible, keeping discarded computers out of landfills by extending their lives by several years and making leading edge technology more readily available to more students in more schools.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity for large corporations to incorporate refurbishment,” Schaus said of the CFCC, which had previously sent computers to Syrian refugee families in Calgary. “The potential is enormous. It disturbs my conscience that companies don’t do anything with computers they no longer use other than refurbishment and the CFCC is helping them do that.”

While sending 150 laptops to the five Canadian high schools, Siemens through the CFCC and a partnership with World Vision is also delivering another 150 to underdeveloped regions in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Schaus noted that even without the guidance of teachers, access to laptops in developing nations raises literacy by an estimated 10 per cent.

Introducing refurbished laptops has also increased classroom attendance by 100 per cent at the Immigrant Women’s Centre in Hamilton More information on the computer refurbishing and distribution program can be found on the website www.c4cc.ca.

A friendship that continues even after death On June 13, 2014, following surgery, the parents of Robert Metelka were informed that their 24-year-old son’s abdomen was filled with cancer. It took until December before the correct diagnosis of stomach cancer was determined. Rob died May 27, 2015 after reaching his goal to live at least until his 25th birthday which was May 22.

Rob’s diagnosis didn’t stop him from living his life to the fullest. Rob continued to do what he loved right up to the day he died. The Saturday before he passed away, Rob told his best friend he would go fishing with him, and even though Rob had lost use of his right hand and had difficulty walking he still went, because his friends were a very important part of Rob’s life.

Rob was there for his friends and his friends were there for him, and that continued two years after his death. John Kahn and Tyler Powell began to grow their hair when Rob was first diagnosed.

After three years, at the 2nd annual celebration of Rob’s life on May 21, 2017, John and Tyler gave Rob’s mother, Rev. Kim Metelka, the honour of cutting their hair for the Canadian Cancer Society. Their hair will be used to make wigs for those who lose their hair due to chemo. Rob was truly blessed with a loving family and wonderful friends.

Council approves news vehicles for FD

Kingsville Folk Music Festival co-producers John and Michele Law thank teams of volunteers and sponsors for their support leading up to this year’s annual event during its official kick off at Pelee Island Winery Wednesday, June 14. The Laws revealed that this year’s festival — to take place at Kingsville’s Lakeside Park Friday, Aug. 11 to Sunday, Aug. 13 — will feature acts including The Cowboy Junkies, Sylvia Tyson, Jimmy Rankin of The Rankin Family, Harry Manx and several others.

Folk Festival lineup revealed

By Bryan Jessop The details of the “fourth”-coming Kingsville Folk Music Festival have officially been presented to the public.

John and Michelle Law, co-producers of the annual three-day event, unveiled the list of 20-plus acts that will provide live musical entertainment for this year’s festival, again to be hosted

by Kingsville’s Lakeside Park on multiple stages. The announcement of this year’s artists again served as the official kickoff to the Kingsville Folk Music Festival, although the sale of early bird tickets are now complete and the Concert Series leading up to the event is underway.

The announcement was made Wednesday, June 14 at Kingsville’s Pelee Island Winery — one of 19 sponsors thus far that are supporting the fourth annual Kingsville Folk Music Festival. Again backed by a partnership with the Sun Parlour Folk Music Society, a portion of proceeds from this year’s festival will be directed toward the Music and Arts for Youth (MAY) Fund. The project offers financial assistance to local youths to provide them access to the arts via workshops, lessons, mentoring and scholarships. Directors with the Sun Parlour Folk Music Society, founded in 2013, were present with the Laws when the kickoff announcement was made, preceded by live music by Glen MacNeil and John and Michele.

Main acts for this year’s festival will include Sylvia Tyson, Jimmy Rankin, The Cowboy Junkies, Durham County Poets and Dave Gunning with J.P. Cormier.

Other performers will include Turbo Street Funk, Christine Lavin, Madison Violet, So Long Seven, Harrow Fair, Steve Poltz, Trad Attack!, Harry Manx, Benjamin Dakota Rogers, Thunderwude, Brother Sun, Pat Temple, Jon Brooks, Dirty Dishes, Abridged Opera and Ariana Gillis with Kevin Breit. Children’s entertainment will again feature face painting, Todd Crowley’s Musical Petting Zoo, Jangles The Clown, Magoo and feature performers Splash ‘N Boots. Local acts will feature Francine Leclair,

Max Marshall, Denis Bastarache, Martha Renaud and The Fontaines. Although the name “Harrow Fair” suggests that the duo originates from just west of Kingsville, the act is actually based out of Toronto. One member of the duo, Andrew Penner, originally hails from Leamington.

A schedule for this year’s festival can be found on its website www.kingsvillefolkfest.org, revamped and launched on the same day as the announcement kickoff.

The event will begin with opening ceremonies Friday, Aug. 11 and conclude with Gunning and Cormier, who start at 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13. The rain or shine festival will again include artisans, food vendors, Pelee Island wines and craft beers.

Access to all three days is free to patrons 16 years of age and younger while prices range from $40 per single evening pass to $85 per senior weekend pass and $95 per adult weekend pass. Single-day passes are also optional. Local outlets for tickets include Merlis’ Coffeehouse and Eatery, Box Office Video and Anna’s Flowers in Kingsville, Adamson Guardian Drugs and Symphony Stables and Track in Wheatley and Fletcher’s Dry Cleaners in Leamington.

“There seems to be more interest this year than ever,” said John Law, who explained that this year’s early bird tickets outsold the discounted tickets from 2016.

“Tickets are selling well — we’re getting calls every day.”

The Laws expect a weekend total crowd of between 6,000 and 8,000 again for 2017. Planning for each

Margaret Carey (nee Swan) has gone to join her beloved husband and soul mate Stewart (2002) on Friday, June 16, 2017 at the age of 89.

She will be forever remembered by her children Thomas (Irene), the late Stewart (Judy), Allan (Gail), and Eric (Barbara). She was a devoted grandmother to Karen (Matt), Lindsay (Jim), Heather (Josh), Ian (Tiffany), Trevor (Jenn), Aaron (Chantelle), Laura (Sunny), Rachel and Andrew (Kim), and greatgrandmother to Matthew, Jonathan, Lindsay, Owen, Emma, Alexia, Isabella, Maya and Lola.

Margaret was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to parents Margaret and Alex Swan and was the dear sister to the late Alex (Jean) Swan, Ralph (Irene) Swan of Portsmouth, England.

Margaret was a member of the Sweet Adelines, the Leamington Half Century Club, and the Leamington United Mennonite Church.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Holloway and the caring staff of the Leamington Mennonite Home.

In following with Margaret’s wishes, cremation has taken place.

Visiting is at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell St., Leamington (519-326-2631) on Friday, June 23, 2017 from 10 a.m. until time of Memorial Service to celebrate her life at 11 a.m.

Interment at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery to follow.

As an expression sympathy, memorial donations made by cheque to the Leamington Mennonite Home would be appreciated.

Family and friends are invited to share their words of comfort and remembrance or make a charitable contribution at www.reidfuneralhome.ca year’s Kingsville Folk Music Festival — the only event of its kind in Ontario west of London — begins shortly after the previous event wraps up on Sunday evening. The event is organized by a team of 300 volunteers that nears 400 in numbers by the time the festival arrives.

“We need every one of them,” said John. “It really takes an army to do this.”

Each year, the Laws attend conferences to recruit performers for the festival, although in many cases, the musicians approach them with requests to be included in the schedule. Michele explained that they work with a wish list of acts that are pursued throughout the year.

“The goal is to find great entertainment and lots of acts while staying in our budget and we’ve succeeded again this year,” she explained.

New this year is the option for guests to make use of Pleasant Valley Campground, located west of Lakeside Park along County

Road 20 near the Kingsville Golf and Country Club.

1922 Model T Ford race car Down Under

If you have never visited Australia, you might not be familiar with its nickname of “Down Under” given to it by people Up Here! A fascinating “Aussie” story arrived recently from Ted Lowrey of Hamilton: “Volunteering at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, I sometimes meet a visitor who is especially appreciative of our efforts to restore the ‘remains’ of an old aircraft back to flying condition. Why? Because they have restored a ‘wasted’ old car back to its original use.

“One day in 2010, on duty on the museum floor, I met Doug Partington and his wife Elizabeth from Queensland, Australia. They were on a world tour to see

Doug Partington with his 1922 Wikner Ford Special next to a stock Model T Ford.

famous historic sites, including our Warplane Museum. Talking to each other, we discovered we had in common the experience of racing cars starting around 1958.

“Back in ’58, while still a student with little extra money, Doug saw an ad in an Australian newspaper for an ‘old Ford racing car, complete but dismantled – 20 pounds.’ All Doug had was 14 pounds but his offer was accepted. The ‘old Ford racing car’ – a mass of parts – was now his.

“Doug started to assemble it, but soon, with a job, he could afford to go racing in new and fast cars. The old race car lay in the back of his garage gathering dust. In 1994, $3.00 Drinks thirty-six years after he bought it, a buddy of Doug’s did a detailed history of the race car. It turned out that what Doug $9.95 Nibbler Tray had bought, for 14 pounds, was the Wikner Ford Special, a racer created mostly from Model T Ford parts in Australia back in 1922. It was known to be Australia’s oldest racing car.

“The Model T engine had been fitted with a special cylinder head, the axles were fitted above the frame so there was only four inches of road clearance, wire wheels were added, and a racing body was built. Some special parts were handcrafted by a local blacksmith. For a car more than 90 years old, it was quite fast with a top speed above 80 miles an hour!

14 Mill Street treet East East, “Doug never modified the old race car. He restored it back Leamington, Ontario, N8H 1R7 519-322-2251 to its original 1922 condition and now he races it in Australia wherever he can. Doug is especially happy that in June of 2013, his car was inducted into the Model T Ford Club of America Speedster and Racer Hall of Fame in Lincoln, Nebraska.

“Doug still races his Wikner Ford Special in Australia as it was built in 1922.”

Lally show supports Building Bridges

By Bryan Jessop A program to assist local youths struggling with homelessness was something Lally Southpoint Ford got revved up about earlier this month.

The Leamington automotive dealership organized and hosted its third annual charitable car show Saturday, June 10 and this time around selected Building Bridges as its cause of choice. Sales consultant Steve Bott took the reins for this year’s show with the support of a team of volunteers assisting with both behind the scenes and day-of operations.

Building Bridges, which recently received charter status, operates out of the former St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Sherk Street in Leamington. The not-for-profit organization requires an operating budget of just under $200,000 to provide services to youths in the Kingsville-LeamingtonWheatley corridor struggling with homelessness and temporary, unstable living accommodations commonly referred to as “couch surfing.”

Upon conclusion of the charitable event, dubbed Sizzlin’ Summer Car Show, a cheque of $1,731.60 was presented to Building Bridges by Bott and Lally Southpoint Ford general sales manager Tom Leckie. The money was raised through a registration fee of $10 per vehicle as well as donations and $220 raised through an ongoing 50/50 draw. George Bergen, founder, president and CEO of Building Bridges, expressed words of gratitude for the donation, explaining that the need for the organization’s services is greater than many residents of the Leamington-Kingsville area realize.

“There are a lot of people from ages 16 to 24 struggling with couch surfing and homelessness,” he noted after receiving the donation from Bott and Leckie. “Community support like this is just what we need.”

Building Bridges was founded about two years ago and found a foothold in the community by purchasing the former church as Phase 1. Phase 2 will be approached in 2018 with the creation of transitional houses for youths making use of the group’s services.

The Sizzlin’ Summer Car Show attracted 135 registered vehicles, ranging from classic hot rods, modifieds and muscle cars to racing stock cars, dirt bikes and members of SOLTRA — the Southern Ontario Lawn Tractor Racing Association. Towards the end of the show, the latter group staked out a makeshift track with pylons and put on a demonstration for a crowd of spectators.

Judges for the fundraiser selected four ‘Best of Show’ winners, which included Mark and Doreen Ouellette of Leamington and their 1922 Ford Model T, Cyril Papineau

Don Hicks of Leamington (far left) chats with admirers of his 1962 GMC half-ton pickup truck during the Sizzlin’ Summer Car Show hosted by Lally Southpoint Ford Saturday, June 10. The event was the third annual show hosted by the dealership and this year, $1,731.60 was raised for the charity Building Bridges, a Leamington-based non-profit group providing shelter and services for homeless youth in the Wheatley, Leamington, Kingsville area. Presently, the group is located at the former St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Sherk Street in Leamington.

“I’m really happy with how the whole thing turned out,” said Bott, who managed to provide door prizes to each of the show’s registered entries with donations from local businesses. “Hopefully, it’ll be this successful again next year.”

Erie Shores Health Foundation raises over $100,000 in five days!

Last week was very successful for the Erie Shores Health Foundation as they were able to raise over $100,000 in only five days. On Wednesday, June 7, over 160 golfers descended upon Kingsville Golf and Country Club for the 23rd annual Golf Tournament in support of Erie Shores HealthCare (formerly Leamington District Memorial Hospital).

Through registrations, sponsorships, and silent auction the event raised $60,000 in profit to be put towards future expansion and medical equipment at ESHC. Following on Sunday, June 11, ESHF hosted the first ever Erie Shores Hospice LifeWalk at the Leamington District Secondary School track, which saw 110 walkers raise al-

most $20,000 for Erie Shores Hospice. This was the first time this event has been offered in a county location, giving walkers a choice to walk in Windsor or Leamington.

In addition, on Thursday, June 8 and Friday, June 9 there were two third-party events, including Sunset Yoga and the DiMenna Excavating 50th Anniversary Dinner which raised $360 and $21,000 respectively for Erie Shores Hospice.

“It was a busy 5 days,” said Ross Barnwell, executive director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation, “but an incredibly rewarding one as well. South Essex County never ceases to amaze me in their support of health care. Truly humbling!”

What’s starting to seem like a very long time ago, the National Hockey League introduced a salary cap that it imposed Jessop’s on all 30 teams.

Journal It was, in my opinion at least, one of the very few good ideas Bettman and crew have come up with since the weasel took office way, way back in 1993 (hey, here’s an idea — enforce legislation that allows the league’s leader a maximum of two consecutive four-year terms, like the president of the United States. Just a thought). At least in part, the logic behind the change was simple — not allowing the Stanley Cup champions to simply be determined by which franchise has the deepest pockets. Suddenly, drafting and trading required a lot more strategy. The salary floor, of course, was established as a means of protecting ownerships too cheap and/or stupid to protect themselves… and of course to appease the Players’ Association.

For reasons I honestly can’t explain, the cap doesn’t seem to be working. The way things are going, the Pittsburgh Penguins will become the first time to reach a combined 25 Stanley Cup championships (yeah, I’m fully aware of how pathetic that is based on the fact that the Habs collected their 24th 24 years ago). The per-team spending limit is known as a “hard cap,” meaning there are no exceptions — although I’m sure some creative accounting and complex contract conditions have been drummed up in previous years to circumnavigate the rules without actually breaking them.

As of now, there is a certain degree of skepticism over whether or not the Arizona Coyotes will be able to reach the salary FLOOR. It’s my understanding that the floor is routinely $16 million U.S. below the cap/maximum, which for last season, meant $54 million U.S. Anyway, the Coyotes sizeable group of minority owners was recently bought out by Andrew Barroway, who, a couple short years ago, bought into the franchise to become the owner with the largest slice of the Ice Arizona (Coyotes ownership group) pie.

Barroway had to take out loans with credit card-like interest rates to do away with minority owners including the worst public relations hack in NHL history, Anthony Leblanc. The required tactics have earned him the nickname Andrew Borrow-way and have left pundits suspecting that his plans are to simply take a financial battering in Glendale for 2017-18 and then flip the team for a handsome profit once that painful, lame duck season has finally come to its bitter, ugly end.

Barroway, so the story goes, is now so far in debt that some of the finer details, like, oh, say, paying the team itself will become a classic case of easier said than done. If a team is unable or refuses to meet the salary floor, it simply can’t play. Bettman, desperate to prove that his big, bold move into the desert WASN’T an absurd idea, will no doubt assist Barroway in getting creative with the numbers to bring the Coyotes up to the floor (if that sounds absurd, it’s because it IS absurd).

For one thing, allowing this charade to go on gives the NHL and the Coyotes another whole year to seek out a sucker — oops, I mean “investor” — to build the franchise a new arena. Tempe? Scottsdale? The actual city of Phoenix? Mesa? Tucson? Hell, they’d settle

Would YOU shell out an even modest fee for season tickets in support of a horrible on-ice product that won’t likely even exist come the start of the 2018-19 season? Probably not.

As alluded to earlier, it’s unlikely Barroway would dig himself further into debt simply for the opportunity to stay in Arizona and continue losing money. Sure, that’s what’ll happen for Bill Foley once the novelty of the Las Vegas Knights wears off, but he’s a man with money to burn. Losing $30 million per year on a hockey team is chump change for someone like him. I’m not really sure if the Coyotes/Barroway have received their/his share of the Knights’ $500 million expansion fee yet, but in North American professional team sports, $16.7 million doesn’t normally go very far.

So, considering how much it likely cost him to buy out Leblanc and the others and the absurd amount of money others have paid for the privilege to join the “hey everybody, I own a professional sports team” club ($500 million for Foley’s expansion team and that mind-boggling $2 billion forked over for the NBA’s Clippers a couple years ago), Barroway will likely want a pretty penny for the ‘Yotes come April of next year. The funny part is that Bettman/the league can block any sale to a city they don’t like (remember Basille’s bid to bring them to Hamilton?). On top of that, the already indebted owner will be hemorrhaging so much red ink into the financial books that he’ll have no choice but to put a massive “OBO” (or best offer) on his asking price.

As the old saying goes, every material item on this Earth is only worth what someone’s willing to pay to become its next owner. Barroway just might be “floored” by the top offer.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may find yourself easily annoyed this week, Aries. Surround yourself with positive people so you’re not pulled into the doldrums.

You will snap out of this funk.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Consider listening rather than gossiping about others, Scorpio. Sit back and enjoy the conversation as it unfolds around you. You might be surprised by what you hear.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, when others call on you to police a situation, you might be stuck between doing the right thing and taking the side of a friend. Do your best to remain impartial.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 People around you may seem extra passionate about their beliefs this week, Sagittarius. But you can still take things lightly if those same fires are not stoked in you.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The last few weeks have been good for you, Gemini. Others have had the chance to see what you are capable of accomplishing, and your confidence and ego are soaring as a result.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 This week you may pick up some skills you never thought possible, Capricorn. It may be computer-related, or you may even begin to learn a foreign language.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may be called on to host family or friends and will have to arrange all of those details. Recognize your strengths and delegate what you can’t handle.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may finally arrive at a destination only to discover you really didn’t want to go to this place after all. Sometimes, you learn through discovery.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you have been hesitant about being in the spotlight, times are about to change. There are no more excuses this week. Dive head first into everything.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, get outside and enjoy the fresh air as much as possible. The great outdoors can provide a welcome respite from the daily grind.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 It’s time to pull your head out of the clouds and get back to business, Virgo. The real world is beckoning, so get your mind straight and return to form.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when speaking with others, take a more serious tone than you are used to. You don’t want to come off as if this is just a big joke. Something important is happening.

The Leamington Midget Lakers in their dugout after winning the Stratford National Midget ‘A’ Tournament held June 9-11. Team members are Derrick Antunes, Brett Enns, Anthony Fehr, Jonathan Fehr, Billy Friesen, Mitch Henry, James Hiebert, Lucas Lamotte, Aidan Massad, Brandon Teichroeb, Kameron Wall, Kyle Wall and Ryan Wall. Coaches are Chris Lamotte, Terry Misener and John Wall.

Lakers win championship in Stratford Midget A tournament

The Leamington Midget Lakers, sponsored by Howie’s Custom Coating, edged the Stratford Indians 3-2 to win the Stratford Nationals Midget “A” Tournament the weekend of June 9-11.

To advance, the Lakers beat Burlington 11-1, defeated host Stratford 8-1 and rallied to win over North London 9-4.

In the title game Leamington trailed 2-0 in the fourth inning, scored one and then two in the fifth inning, and then hung on to edge the Indians for the win.

James Hiebert started on

the mound, pitching 5 complete innings, striking out 8 to record the win. Billy Friesen threw two perfect innings of relief to earn the save, striking out the last Stratford batter in dramatic fashion.

Brett Enns, Lucas Lamotte, Anthony Fehr, Kyle Wall and Hiebert had hits in the game.

“They threw their ace at us in the final,” pointed out coach Terry Misener. “We turned to some small ball to score the two runs that put us ahead.”

The Lakers laid down 3

consecutive bunts (Fehr, Ky. Wall and Hiebert), mixed in some aggressive base running, and executed 2 suicide squeezes in the critical fifth inning.

Stratford starter Mikia Hashimotto, an exchange student from Japan, had frustrated the Laker bats to this point. Hashimotto and Hiebert were named game MVP by tournament organizers.

In the opening game on Friday evening the locals exploded with 9 runs in the sixth inning to defeat Burlington 11-1.

Erie Shores senior men’s golf

There were 71 Erie Shores senior golfers out on the course Monday, June 19 – the biggest turnout in several years.

The 50/50 winners were Bob Sutherland and Bob Park.

Closest to pin on #3 was Bob Park and on #16 it was Jeff Brown.

Longest putt on #5 was made by Matt Dick and on #13 Mike Hanson’s putt held out.

In a game of throw the low and high net scores out and count only the two middle low net scores, the team with a score of 133 won. They were Jim Jones, John Tofflemire, Dave Wilkinson and Roger Hodgson. Second went to the team of Don Mensch, Keith Greenhill, Gary McRae and Rudy Dyck with a score of 135. In third place with 136 was the team of Jim Beasby, Jeff Brown, Kevin Shaften and Bill Conn. Fourth place with a score of 137 went to the team of Ron Tremblay, Wray Polluck, Willy Krahn and Francis Garant.

Ross Clark had low score for the day at 71, followed by a fine round of 78 by Gary Alderson.

Leading the birdie parade with 4 was Ross Clark on holes #2, #6, #10 and #12. With two birds each were Jim Jones on holes #1 and #10, Wray Polluck on #2 and #11, Willy Patkau on #10 and #14, and Keith Brown on #2 and #12. Birdies on #4 were made by Dave Wilkinson, Ron Tremblay, Francis Garant, and Richard Reive. Jeff Brown and Gary Alderson birdied #12, Willy Krahn #14, and Gary McRae and Mike Wright finished off the birds on #16.

Weather-wise it was a great day for golf, except for Herb Grundner who managed to find 7 traps on his round of golf. At least he kept his ball dry.

Don’t forget to sign up for next week, June 26, if you have not yet done so. See you then.

Kameron Wall was dominant handling the pitching duties, striking out 7. Ryan Wall and Billy Friesen paced the offensive attack with three hits each (both included a triple in their totals). Ka. Wall, Aidan Massad and Ky. Wall had two hits each. Mitch Henry drilled a ball 330+ feet off the wall in left centre field for a stand-up double.

Against Stratford in pool play, the Lakers took advantage of the Indians’ struggling defense to score 6 runs in the first inning to coast to the 8-1 win.

Ka. Wall with 3 hits and Friesen and Fehr with 2 provided the firepower in this contest. Hiebert earned the

win, striking out 9 in 5 innings, Friesen came on in relief.

Enns, R. Wall and Fehr had 2 hits each in the London game. Lamotte pitched the first 4 innings, striking out 6, while Friesen finished up the final 3 in relief.

The 9-4 win advanced the Lakers straight to the cham-

pionship game.

The first tournament of the year proved to be a fun time for all involved. The weekend included a trip to Boomers Gourmet Fries, Scoops Ice Cream, seeing the swans on the Avon River and, for some, meeting local Woodstock celebrity Penelope Von Schnitzel.

Athletes return to Leamington for Triathlon Weekend

By Bryan Jessop While one race series got underway in the Tomato Capital, another wrapped up the following day.

The Leamington Triathlon Weekend started with the traditional Kids Triathlon divisions and adult ‘Try a Tri’ and ‘Do a Du’ events on Saturday, June 10 and again proceeded on the following Sunday with the Sprint Triathlon, Sprint Duathlon, open water swim competitions and the 5 km run. Saturday also included a Do a Du relay while Sunday’s events also featured a triathlon relay.

Numbers were slightly up for this year in relation to 2016, with 289 registered athletes for the 31st annual Leamington Triathlon Weekend in comparison to about 260 from last year.

In 2016, 63 youths signed up for the Kids Triathlon races in five different age divisions, not including the 5 and Under group, which was not recorded. Twenty-three adults gave a shot at the Try a Tri or Do a Du for a combined 86 athletes. This year, 77 Kids Triathlon swimmers, cyclists and runners took part in 6-7 to 14-15 age groups with 13 more in the 5 and Under category. With Try a Tri and Do a Du participants, this year’s Saturday total reached 111.

The upward change in participation for Saturday’s kids’ races is largely attributed to its newfound status as the first of four events in the first-ever Pure Flavor Pure Kids Triathlon Series. The Leamington Pure Kids race will be followed by three more events in the series including June 25 at the Atlas Tube Centre Kids For Hospice races in Lakeshore, the WindThomas Kniaziew of Leamington enters the sor Kids For Hospice event at the WFCU Centre July 9 and the Tecumseh Kids For Hospice final stretch of the Kids Triathlon to win the 8July 29 at Lacasse Park.
