Local author and classic auto enthusiast Bill Sherk displays his latest offering, The Big Tomato – A Comedy Farce from 1957. The story, originally intended to be written as a screenplay, was inspired by Leamington’s landmark and tourist information booth of the same name, seen in the photo’s background.

Author releases tribute to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop A local writer with a passion for classic automobiles has for the first time decided to “Sherk” the facts and create a fictional story dedicated to his home town.

Bill Sherk, known by classic car enthusiasts across Ontario as The Old Car Detective, released this month his 10th publication titled The Big Tomato – A Comedy Farce From 1957. The book differs from his first nine offerings as Sherk’s first work of fiction and the first to be based entirely on a specific location.

The Big Tomato, as it’s full title suggests, is based in the Golden Age of 1957 — an era of drive in movie theatres and restaurants, cruising the streets in customized hot rods and street racing. In Sherk’s newest book, that town is Leamington — with real-life locations inspiring the story’s backdrop for a not-so-real chain of events.

Inspiration for The Big Tomato started in 1987 as plans bantered back and fourth between Sherk and friend Fred Sweet while Sherk was a high school history teacher living in Toronto. The original idea was to create the story as a screenplay, but as ideas and portions of the story failed to connect as a complete script for film, the plan was discontinued. Sherk’s idea for a fictitious story about Leamington was originally triggered while walking along Talbot Street

West earlier that year and glancing across the road at the community’s most renowned landmark — the ‘Big Tomato’ tourist information booth. Nineteen-Eighty-Seven was also the year Sherk and Sweet saw the recently-released movie My American Cousin, which also inspired the idea of a movie.

After the screenplay idea fizzled out, Sherk decided to pick up where he left off and write the story as a book.

While characters in The Big Tomato are based entirely on his imagination, the scenes are based on actual past and present locations including Leamington’s iconic red water tower, the Mike/Gary Miller Service Station, the Gingerbread House restaurant, the El Rancho drive-in restaurant, the Leamington Drive In Theatre that was located north of town between the 4th and 5th Concessions, the Dairy Freeze in North Ridge and the Sherk family’s first Leamington home on Armstrong Drive.

“I don’t know if I could have written the book without all these places in mind,” said Sherk, who also used a photograph of a police cruiser from the Canadian Transportation Museum in Essex to illustrate the cover page of Part One. “I can actually see everything in front of me like it’s on a big screen.”

Author releases book as tribute to Leamington Continued from Front) Sherk completed the book in January of this year and following a series of revisions and correspondence with Jen and Will Hawksworth of Hawksworth Design Studio of Amherstburg, self-printed it along with partner Catherine Riediger.

The printing of 2,000 copies was completed recently as the book became available to the public earlier this month.

“I’m looking forward to reading the book just as a reader and not as an editor,” Reidiger explained.

Sherk declared that The Big Tomato will be his last book.

It is also his first self-published effort, as the local auto enthusiast explained that previous publishers declared the newest offering too specific to a region most readers would be unfamiliar with. Sherk’s first nine books, released from 1979 to 2012, were published by Doubleday (Brave New Words – 1979, More Brave New Words – 1981, 500 Years of New Words - 1983), Boston Mills Press (The Way We Drove: Toronto’s Love Affair with the Automobile: 1893

to 1957 – 1993) and Dundurn Press, Toronto (60 Years Behind the Wheel: The Cars We Drove in Canada 19001960 – 2003, 500 Years of New Words Revised – 2004, I’ll Never Forget My First Car: Stories From Behind the Wheel – 2005, Old Car Detective Favourite Stories: 1925 to 1964 – 2011, Keep Up If You Can: Confessions of a High School Teacher – 2012).

In the meantime, Sherk will continue to write four to five syndicated Old Car Detective columns per month for more than 30 Canadian newspapers — mostly for publications in Ontario and others based in Alberta and Nova Scotia — as he has since 1996. He will also continue writing twice-monthly columns for Old Autos Magazine based in Bothwell, where his works have been published since 1991.

Sherk was born in Toronto in 1942, the son of Frank T. Sherk — the first Canadian-born president of Heinz Canada. Frank, raised as a child in Kingsville, brought his family to the Armstrong Drive house in Leamington in 1952.

The family continued to move back and fourth between the

homes they owned in the tomato capital and the provincial capital. In Bill’s newest book, The Big Tomato drive-in restaurant patrons cover their meals with Sherky Red Ketchup.

Sherk would like to see the story become a movie by the summer of next year, likely with assistance from friend and film production designer Wendy Morrow. Writing the book first, Sherk explained, helps protect its contents from major alteration in the transfer from print to the big screen. First, however, he is writing an adaptation of the story for a stage play to be presented at The Bank Theatre in Leamington.

Long term, he would like to see it become a Broadway attraction dubbed The Big Apple Meets The Big Tomato.

PC Children’s Charity gives $20,00 to local family Lisa Giesbrecht had no idea that the money she helped collect on behalf of PC Children’s Charities would one day be helping her family.

Griesbrecht worked at Leamington Real Canadian SuperStore and and often collected donations for the PC Children’s Charity Fund. Her family was recently presented with a $20,000 grant from that same charity organization.

Lisa and her husband Isaak have four boys. Their five-yearold Alex was diagnosed with epilepsy at four months old.

“It’s getting difficult to get in and out of vehicles as he gets bigger… And we’re in and out a lot with appointments,” said Lisa.

The $20,000 will be used to help pay for a retrofitted accessible van. “It’s great to see those grants go to people locally, and also that we get to help one of our own,” said Leamington Real Canadian Superstore Manager James Lea. The Wheatley family is also grateful to other organizations and the community for their support. “We’re grateful for all the blessings we’ve received from so many in the community and our family,” said Isaak.

Anyone with experience can probably teach you the basics of driving. However, many benefits come from taking a Driver Training Course that you won’t get from home. Driver Education Instructors teach up-to-date traffic regulations and practices.

They will show you how to handle emergencies safely as well as teach you collision prevention and driving skills that you probably would never learn on your own. Professional Driving Instructors are specially trained to diagnose and correct problems a new driver may have. This means you are less likely to be in a collision. You are welcome to learn.

SUMMER COURSE STARTS: JULY 7 - 4 DAYS MON - THUR • 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM

REGISTERED DISABILITY SAVINGS PLANS Martha is outgoing, a giant hockey fan and holds a part-time job but still requires assistance with some of the basic activities of daily living. Her fierce independence is a trait admired by her parents and duly supported by opening a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) for her.

This allows Martha to accumulate wealth that will not affect her disability benefits and retain her independence when her parents are no longer there to assist her. *This scenario is fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Golfing for orphans I spent a day golfing with old schoolmates a couple of weeks ago. My first foray onto the links this year proved to be frustrating from a golf standpoint, but extremely rewarding otherwise.

Childhood friend and fellow Gore Hillian, Ed Dick, who now goes by Ed Dickson, was in Chatham hosting a golf tournament to aid orphans in the Ukraine. Ed and I had met for coffee last year when he was in Leamington and he threw the golf tournament invite at me then. I was unable to get a foursome together but this year I had success. Classmate Tim Tetzlaff and I were joined by Gore Hill alums, Mike and Vicki McVeigh, at this year’s event.

I remember Ed as a fun-loving, mop-topped kid who I considered one of my close friends when we were young.

I was born three days before him in 1961 and our moms shared a hospital room, so you could say I’ve known him all of my life.

After high school, we lost touch as many childhood friends do. I went about my life and he went about his.

Somewhere along the line, his life took a turn toward the wild side, but many years ago, he turned it around, started over and devoted his life to helping others.

What hasn’t changed is his huge smile and the blond mop-top.

He is well known throughout Christian circles in Europe for helping the orphans and he does so with great passion. Just listening to him talk about the kids and all that is being done for these little ones who have nobody in their lives is priceless.

With the situation being what it is in Ukraine right now,

it would be so easy for him to pull out and come back to Canada where it’s safe, but he makes his home there so he can help as much as possible.

And he is making a difference.

The golf tournament last year raised enough money to house and care for 10 orphans MARK who greatly needed surgeries RIBBLE and healthcare. This year, the tournament raised an equal amount and it was nice to be a Rib’s part of it.

Ramblings There are so many charity golf tournaments in this area and I have played in a few of them. They are all wonderful causes, but for some reason, this one struck me differently.

The tangible results were evident in the pictures of the kids and the smiles on the faces of the organizers, who all seem to share Ed’s passion.

This farm boy from Leamington has really made a difference in this world of ours and I’m proud to count him as a friend.

Tim, Mike, Vicki and I displayed some mediocre golf skills along the 18-hole course but we had a lot fun, laughs and spent hours reminiscing about our old teachers and classmates.

But one thing stood out in our conversations. Ed Dickson’s zest for life and his vision for helping kids is refreshing in a world where we often see all of the bad things that happen and hardly ever hear of the good people who make a difference.

From WiFi to HiFi...

If you missed Mark Ribble’s column from last week, please go back and give it a read. It’s on page 5 (June 18 issue) and it is hilarious; everyone over age 40 can relate to the old K-Tel records I’m sure. On that note, my column is somewhat similar, but different.

I attended the Outdoor Art Sale recently held in Wheatley and ended up taking home a reburbished HiFi system, complete with a working record player, AM FM stereo and a head cleaning kit. It was one of many great finds from Shabby Restorations and the other local artists and vendors who filled the corner lot at Hillside and Richard.

Somehow I managed to keep some of my old albums from high school, circa 1983. I also managed to snag some of my older sisters’ records as well, which date back another decade or two… The first record to drop on my new find was, of course, Journey Escape (Side 1). There’s nothing like classic rock on vintage vinyl. I appreciate nostalgia.

Second record I couldn’t wait to hear on the turntable was J. Giles Band Freeze-Frame. After that the classic just kept falling – Fleetwood Mac, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Men at Work and other classic records.

SHEILA My timing in acquirMcBRAYNE ing the HiFi system was perfect. The series of thunderstorms that rolled through the area McThots last week left me without WiFi or satellite for a couple of nights. But no need to worry, as long as the hydro stayed on, I still had my HiFi for entertainment!

So now I’m on the hunt to find more classic albums that I can spin on my newest oldest piece of furniture.

I’ve passed by many great chances to purchase old albums, but now I’m going to be looking. And, Mark Ribble, if you have any of those Goofy’s Greats or K-Tel specials, I’d love to give them a listen.

The Southpoint Sun - 5

Miracles happen for those that believe

Five weeks ago, I recall Mark and I spending our entire weekend in the yard getting everything prepared and beautified for the season. At the end of the day we rewarded ourselves with a cool beverage and discussed the fact that we both look forward to being able to spend many more days exactly like this one.

On May 13th, I received an email from my sister Leslie, who happened to be winding up her sailing season in Nassau, Bahamas.

Her email was short and sweet, “You two are made for this,” with an attached picture of a job ad headed: “Island Couple Managers”.

That evening I shared the email and clipping with Mark and asked him what he thought about it. He promptly replied, “What do we have to lose?” I quickly put together our résumés and they were sent later the next day. Early the following morning, I received an email back asking if Mark and I were in the Bahamas, because ‘they’ wanted to meet us.

This was the start of a series of fortunate events and a four-week whirlwind that twisted our tummies and tugged at our dreams.

The next couple of weeks were filled with emails back and forth with a gentleman in Nassau. Finally a Skype interview was scheduled with him along with the two owners of the small island in the Bahamas.

Our forty-five minute interview went extremely well! Thankfully, I googled “what’s the etiquette of a Skype interview?” prior to this first meeting. Mark and I learned to look at the camera eye on the computer so that we would be looking into the interviewers’ eyes, as opposed to staring at a screen. Listening more than talking was a wise recommendation as well.

Questions like “Are you familiar with farm machinery, lawn and garden equipment, landscaping, generators, basic plumbing, scuba diving, hosting, pool service and maintenance?” were answered affirmatively. A pilot’s license and first aid and CPR were all icing on the cake. We sensed their grins and felt good when we signed off.

The next day we were sent a package outlining the job description and we were booked for an all-inclusive trip to Nassau, Bahamas for a personal interview. I had to keep pinching myself to make sure I was not in a fantasy headed to an island.

I compare the entire process to working on a puzzle and each piece fits into its place easily.

Mark and I had two full days to ourselves before our dinner interview. We took that time to tour around Nassau in our vehicle with the steering wheel on the right that we drove on the left side of the road. Our appetites were off, but we felt we needed to order up a dish of cracked conch for good measure. We reminded each other that regardless of the outcome, we had just received a free trip to Nassau, Bahamas.

Finally the time for our dinner meeting arrived.

While we waiting for the couple and their manager at the restaurant, we nervously joked that perhaps they wouldn’t show, as we were

unable to restore the power in our room that morning when it went out. Perhaps we had failed our first test! While sitting alone together, I asked Mark, “Mr. Matheson, why should you get this job?” and he answered, “Because I have been preparing for it for the last 30 years.” This was so true. Finally, everything that we had done, individually and together, up until this moment made sense. Both the good and the not so good experiences formed an important part of our overall job résumé.

It was a wonderfully comfortable meeting. When we parted, there were plans to fly both Mark and I to the little island the following morning. Our flight, in a small twin-engine plane, took us approximately 15 minutes. We landed safely on the runway and were greeted by the present island managers and crew. Tattoo was nowhere in sight, but I have to admit, I had flashbacks to one of my favourite childhood shows!

The hour and a half tour of the island gave us a little insight to the reality of island life, including it’s secludedness, as well as the hard work necessary to keep it as the pristine paradise it is. We both left feeling very unsure as we questioned this possible reality. After a night to sleep on it, we both

felt positive that if we were offered the job, this position was certainly one that we couldn’t pass up.

Our closets and cupboards, drawers and shelves have gradually filled over 22 years of living. They have been emptied and sorted, either stored or bagged and boxed for someone else’s use. Slowly, we are de-cluttering our life and are enjoying that feeling.

One week after our daughter’s wedding, Mark and I are packing up a few of our belongings and heading south to be the managers of a little island in the Berry Cays. It still doesn’t quite seem real, but something about it feels so right for both of us. The timing in our lives couldn’t be better, and as Mark says, “We have nothing to lose.”

I hope to continue to write from the island and share with you this next chapter of our lives. Thanks for all of your support!

Cycling: same roads, same rules, same rights

Cycling can be enjoyed safely when you understand the rules of the road and practice proper safety.

As per the Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is a vehicle that belongs on the road. Riding on the road means riding with other traffic. This is only safe when all traffic – motorists and cyclists – obey the rules of the road.

Sidewalks are designed for pedestrian traffic (and young riders). Roads and bicycle lanes are the designated places for cyclists to ride. Be sure to wear proper safety equipment as well as bright reflective clothing to help you be seen and stay safe.

Drivers need to be aware of other vehicles using the roadway. Be patient and “Share the Road” with all lawful road users. Cyclists do not move as fast as cars and drivers sometimes need to be patient to navigate safely around them. You may have to slow down and wait for an appropriate opening to make a safe pass.

In light of recent break and enter incidents in the area, the Essex County OPP offers the following tips to help you protect your property: • Tall trees, shrubs and fences create hiding spots for criminals. Keep your landscaping neatly groomed and consider a shorter fence.

• Lock the doors and windows, even if you’re going out for a short time. Consider using quality locks and a deadbolt on each outside door.

• Keep the grass cut and don’t let the mail accumulate if you’re going to be away.

• Engrave identifying marks on your property.

This makes it easier for police to identify your belongings if they are stolen.

• Make sure the outside lights work and use them to deter low light visitors.

• Know your neighbours and watch for suspicious people or activity on your block.

• Don’t leave valuables in plain sight and don’t hide a spare house key outside.

• If you’re planning a trip, be careful who you tell. Try not to advertise your absence electronically (i.e. on Facebook) or on answering machine messages.

Break-ins are a crime of opportunity that you can help control. Suspicious vehicles or people should be reported to police.

OBITUARY Margaret K. Hildebrand

At the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative annual meeting on June 18, mayors from the United States and Canada issued a call to their respective federal governments and the responsible companies to significantly improve the safety of oil transportation across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence basin, in order to protect the largest source of fresh water on Earth.

Mayors of the Cities Initiative voiced their concern with the recent exponential increase in rail transportation of oil, and the string of accidents, including the devastating derailment and explosion in Lac-Mégantic last year that resulted in 47 deaths and the destruction of half the downtown area.

Conveyance of oil by pipeline across the basin is also on the rise, with several expansions or new lines planned or recently activated in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence basin.

Also, large-scale maritime transport of oil on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River may be expanded if the Superior, Wisconsin, Calumet oil dock project is finalized.

“The increase in oil transportation across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence basin cannot be at the expense of communities and water resources,” said Keith Hobbs, outgoing chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative and mayor of Thunder Bay. “All modes of oil transportation must be held to the highest safety standards.”

At the annual members meeting the Cities Initiative passed a resolution that calls on: • the Canadian and American Governments to establish stronger regulations,

conduct more thorough and frequent inspections, and bring enforcement actions before spills and other incidents occur; • require that energy companies pay a fee on oil being transported to establish a compensation fund to help cover emergency response and cleanup, property damage and restoration costs, as is done in the maritime sector; • the oil producers, transporters, and refiners, as well as the federal governments, to consult on a regular basis and more transparently with potentially affected communities.

Leamington Mayor John Paterson, who was in attendance at the meeting in Thunder Bay, stated, “I voted in support of the Cities resolution because I believe our federal government has not given this important issue the priority it deserves.”

The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative is a coalition of more than 110 Canadian and US mayors who work together to promote, protect and restore the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence.

Caitlin Hanford

Gwen Swick

Two Creeks presents Caitlin Hanford, Gwen Swick Though often touring with Quartette along with Cindy Church and Sylvia Tyson, the complete and accomplished country and bluegrass duo, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick, will be performing at the Two Creeks Concert Series at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 29.

Born in Washington State, Caitlin immigrated to Canada in ’78 – meeting Chris Whiteley had lots to do with that good decision. With several Juno nominations and charted original country songs, Caitlin continues to produce recordings. Greg Quill of the Toronto Star notes that “(Caitlin’s voice is) sweet, but edged with pain, (she is) as near to country perfection as anyone can get, inside or outside Nashville.” Nicholas Jennings of Maclean’s Magazine said that “Hanford’s cool, crystal-clear soprano moves effortlessly between bluegrass and country, with hints of blues, jazz and Cajun music.”

Gwen was born in Winnipeg but now lives in Elora.

She has released three solo albums and five records with the folk trio Tamarack, and her music is featured on several film soundtracks. The London Free Press noted that Gwen Swick is “simply one of the most imaginative singer/songwriters in the country”.

Two Creeks is delighted to bring this duo of accomplished singers to entertain at the natural amphitheatre located just north of Wheatley on Erie Street (a.k.a. Kent Road #1). As always, you are invited to bring your own chairs or use one of the benches, and to donate what you choose as the green hat goes by. It will be a great evening – come and enjoy: refresh yourself at Two Creeks.

What you can do to help CiB: Urban Forestry

By Catherine Riediger Trees are a vital component of a healthy environment and the air we breathe. Leamington lost many great trees during the tornado but the municipality is recovering with the active planting of new trees. Point Pelee National Park, Kopegaron Woods Conservation Area, Hillman Marsh, Mersea Park, Seacliff Park, the Municipal Marina, Carolina Woods Park (Heinz Bush), Sun Parlour Retirement Residence, tree-lined streets and trails are just a few of the local urban forest areas. In addition to trees planted by residents, the Leamington Horticultural Society, businesses and organizations, the Municipality of Leamington plants approximately 50 trees every year.

• Trees absorb air-borne toxins, sequester carbons and improve air quality; • Planted near pavement, trees slow rainfall and lessen the load on storm water management systems; • Trees (deciduous and coniferous) divert wind during the growing season while coniferous (evergreen) trees divert wind all year round; • Homes with trees growing on the south or west side are cooler and can cut air conditioning demands by as much as 40%; and • Trees raise property values.

The article pointed out that, just as we are beginning to recognize and quantify the value of our urban forestry, it’s becoming clear that it is under stress from weather related to climate change, imported pests (Emerald Ash Borer, Asian Long-Horned Beetle), and pressure for urban development that can pit builders against trees. Tree planting in parks, streets, and schoolyards is slowly becoming more commonplace and many citizens are rallying to the environmental cause.

Let’s rally to the cause and make Leamington “The Town that Re-Plants Itself”.

This 1951 Prefect drove around a racetrack Bill Marr of Moncton, New Brunswick, writes: “Hi, Bill. I enjoy your column and I think your readers will enjoy this story.

“In May of 1961, my uncle and aunt, Jack and Mildred Chisholm, who resided in Willowdale (part of Toronto), decided to take a drive north of Bowmanville in their 1951 Prefect to enjoy a picnic lunch and have a look at the new race track facility known as Mosport (pronounced Moe-sport, not Moss-port). It so happened that paving had been completed just a few days previous, there were no workmen around, and Jack convinced the Security Commissionaire to let them take a drive around the course.

“Can’t you picture the Prefect leaning through the turns at Mosport at 15 miles per hour! My aunt captured a couple of minutes of footage on an 8 mm camera from the passenger seat. What a ride!”

The Prefect was a four-door sedan built in England by Ford from 1939 to 1953 and sold widely across Canada as one of the forerunners of the compact cars adopted by the Big Three in Detroit in 1960 with the Falcon from Ford, the Corvair from GM, and the Valiant from Chrysler (the other noteable forerunner was the VW Beetle).

We lived in Toronto in 1951, when Jack and Mildred’s Prefect was new. My friends and I (I was 9 at the time) thought the Prefect looked funny because it was skinnier than the standard 6-passenger North American car of that era. We jokingly said that the Prefect must have been put into a vice at the factory and had its sides squeezed closer together.

Ron Pickford was born in England in 1938 and moved with his family to the west end of Toronto in 1953. The family car for much of the 1950s was a Prefect, and Ron’s mother was photographed standing beside the car in a supermarket parking lot with a shopping cart filled with a week’s supply of groceries. When Ron showed me the photo, I asked him why

The 1951 Prefect that drove around Mosport.

it was taken. After all, how many people do you know who have their picture taken with a shopping cart?

Ron told me the reason. When they lived in England, they had only a small icebox for a refrigerator and had to shop for groceries every day. The photo was for the benefit of the relatives still living in England. See what life is like in Canada! We have a big refrigerator and we can shop for the whole week in one day!

Pets of the Week

MARIE

SCRAPPY

Hello! Come meet me please!! My name is Marie and I was originally at the Humane Society when I was a little kitten. My family says I was a great girl until they had a new baby and I wasn't too impressed, so they felt I would do best finding a new family, preferably with no young children. I'm a curious girl and love to explore my environment. I'm affectionate but usually on my own terms. I'll come see you when I'm done checking everything else out!

Scrappy has had a difficult first few years of his life. But his fun loving personality would never let you know he may have had some struggles. He likes playing with toys and spending time with his people. When he arrived at the shelter he had an injury to his back paw that has left him with a little bit of a limp. No that won’t slow him down.

He is an eager learner waiting for the next lesson.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

Peanut Centre N U R S E R Y

Summer is the time for day lilies Day lilies are very forgiving and can be planted any time during the growing season if provided with adequate water during the hot summer months.

Early spring and late summer are the best time for planting. Like hosta, cut back the foliage about 2 to 3 inches in height when splitting or transplanting. This will help the plant to reestablish itself quicker with new growth.

The most important secret to growing a healthy day lily is water. Most varieties can withstand dry conditions and will bounce back.

Fertilize in early spring when the day lilies begin spring growth to ensure larger blooms, and then again in late summer.

Mulching will help the plant to maintain a consistent soil temperature and also help retain moisture.

Most day lilies today are relatively disease free and pest resistant, but insects can sometimes infect your plant. Watch for aphids, spider mites, thrips, and snails or slugs. A quick spray with your hose sprayer and a full percentage of Sunlight soap will solve the problem. If your area is in full distress a spray chemical may be required. Always check with a licensed landscaper for the proper spray application.

Day lilies will multiply in several growing seasons. Once your plant has formed a large clump and the blooms are smaller than the previous year, it is time to split and relocate. Again, early spring or late summer is the best time. Separate the plant by either cutting or pulling the root ball apart into smaller clumps.

Use your surplus plants for erosion control along ditch banks or ponds. Naturalize an area with a mixture of all your varieties for summerlong colour with low maintenance. www.bptreemarketing. com

Ten Thousand Villages host annual meeting

Operation Freeze 2014

By Carolyn Reid On June 16, Ten Thousand Villages board members and other volunteers enjoyed a VIP lunch. This was the board’s annual meeting so a special lunch was planned. Foods (recipes were found from the countries represented) and artifacts were displayed from Vietnam, India and Peru. Foods from Vietnam were spring rolls, a variety of fruits – mambutan, lychee, mango, jackfruit – and Vietnamese chicken wings. From India there was samosa, banana yogurt and green tea. Food from Peru included cold mashed potatoes made with lime juice and oil topped by tuna salad, as well as peanuts, golden berries and coffee.

Volunteers told an artisan story of how their craft item has helped their family and something about the artifacts on display. Ruth Woodsit talked about the ceramics and textiles from Vietnam. Kristina Tiessen told the story of a lady from India who was able to send her 4 children to school. Two daughters are doctors, a son is in computer science, while another son is still in university studying the sciences. Carol Carruthers told the story of a man from Peru who carves and paints gourds.

A short business meeting followed this delightful, informative and nourishing trip to Vietnam, India and Peru. A VIP lunch to remember and no dignitaries involved.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is once again teaching kids that getting caught ‘doing the right thing’ this summer can be cool.

Through a partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores, OPP officers who see young people doing random acts of kindness and exhibiting positive behaviour will be handing out ‘tickets’, which are actually coupons valid for a free Froster beverage at Mac’s.

Operation Freeze 2014 provides law enforcement officials with an additional tool to initiate conversation and promote community awareness. During the upcoming summer months, OPP officers across the province will be presenting thousands of these coupons to kids.

Officers will use Operation Freeze to recognize youth for wearing bicycle helmets; doing good deeds like picking up trash; observing crosswalks and participating in community activities. They can also be used as conversation starters to help establish a rapport with kids in their patrol areas.

LMDH shows appreciation to student volunteers

Students from Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, UMEI Christian High School and Kingsville District High School were honoured at a luncheon hosted by Leamington District Memorial Hospital in appreciation of their volunteer hours during the 2013-2014 school year. Pictured with the student volunteers (seated in front) are Maureen Sutherland (left), President of LDMH Auxiliary, and Jennifer Darowski-Melnick, Manager, Volunteer Services.

Leamington District Memorial Hospital honoured its student volunteers for their hours of dedicated service during the 20132014 school year with a dinner at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens.

While students can earn volunteer hours for their community service requirements, most volunteer at the hospital because they have a special interest in pursuing a career in health services.

This year over 30 students from Cardinal Carter Secondary School, Leamington District Secondary School, UMEI Christian High School and Kingsville District High School participated in the program, which takes place after the school day ends. Students were each presented with a certificate of participation from Jenny Darowski-Melnick, Manager of Volunteer Services, and a small gift in appreciation of their efforts by Maureen Sutherland, President of LDMH Auxiliary.

Marnie Laplante, Maureen’s daughter, was the guest speaker and spoke to the students about her career goals as a future Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. Marnie will be writing her final Board exams next spring and could thus relate to students about the stress of being a student at the end of the school year.

Alexandria Jeffers (centre) was recognized at Leamington District Memorial Hospital’s student volunteer dinner for accumulating the most volunteer hours (60.5) between September 2013 and May 2014. On her left is Jennifer Darowski-Melnick, Manager, Volunteer Services, and on the right is Maureen Sutherland, President of LDMH Auxiliary.

Bantams one-hit Braves Leamington Lakers’ Lucas Lamotte started on the mound and combined with Branden Teichroeb and Ryan Wall to throw a one-hitter at the Belle River Braves, defeating them 8-2 in Sun Parlour Bantam league play on Saturday afternoon.

A third inning double was all the Braves could muster as the pitching trio combined to strike out five Belle River batters. Catcher Derrick Antines threw out two consecutive Belle River baserunners trying to steal second in the sixth inning to squash any Braves comeback attempt.

Aidan Massad led the Lakers offensively going three for three at the plate and scoring three runs. Brett Enns and Kameron Wall had two hits each.

The Bantam Lakers travel to LaSalle this weekend to compete in the Ralph Hall/Jack McCart Classic (Bantam Major Division)

Scramble enjoyed by 85 TT seniors

By Bob McLean Eighty-five enthusiastic Talbot Trail seniors came out on June 17 to enjoy their first scramble of 2014.

Although there were warnings of dangerous storms, they were able to play their rounds unencumbered by poor weather. The warm, muggy weather was offset by a very enjoyable breeze.

The hottest round of the day came from T6 G2 as they ignited the course with a sizzling 28 to win 6 golf balls each. This team had the following players: Mike Getty, Vic Reynaert, Jim Pearson, Don Willan and Gerald Rivait.

The second place team, T6 G1, also came in with a dazzling 31 to win 4 golf balls. The participants in this group were Murray Knox, Tom Hyatt, Bob McLean, Bob Lee and Pete Daudlin.

Two teams, T1G3 and T2G2, tied with brilliant 32s. Hadley Pinch won the coin toss to earn his team third place. Shooting a superb 32 to earn 3 golf balls each were Hadley Pinch, Randy Hewey, Dave Dent, Paul Harrison and Eugene Abbruzzese.

Fourth place went to Larry Schmidt, Steve Price, Ron Will, Wayne Zimney and Jim Omstead. Four teams tied with 34s.

The Most Honest team award went to these participants: Homer Vandervecht, Jim Ascott, Steve Haas, Murray Cascadden and Dave Krueger. Each player received two new golf balls.

The closest to the pin on #7 was Ray la Pierre whose spectacular shot was only 3.7 m from the pin. Ray earned 3 golf balls for himself and shared $50 with his playing partners: Dave Carter, Dave la Bonte, Mark Story, and Gerry Becigneul.

Gerald Rivait apparently rattled the #9 pin with his masterful shot to win T6 G2 another prize. Gerald could have claimed the $100 prize money for a hole in one, but his teammates were delighted to have a 2-foot putt for birdie and to receive $10

each. Gerald also obtained 3 new golf balls for his terrific effort. Dr. Jim Forest made a 10-foot putt on #2 to earn his team the long putt prize.

Jim received 3 new balls for himself and also $25 to share with Gord Chadwick, Greg Wood, Pat Hill and John Liddell.

The league’s sweet swinging ‘super senior’ golfer, Linus Bachmeier, won $30 in the draw. Gord Chadwick received a gift card for $25.

Bob Reid and Ron Steingart won gift cards worth $20 and $15 respectively.

Thank you to Carl Robinson for donating a box of new golf balls as a prize.

Winning 3 balls each were Ron Will, Wayne Zimney, Larry Schmidt and Mac Hyatt.

The course was in superb playing condition thanks to Derek, Robert and Lloyd.

Greg Coulter, the club manager and worker with many hats, helped prepare a delicious meal of hamburgers, hot dogs and beans. Head barbecue chef Tom Dunn proved he hasn’t lost his cooking touch. The senior golfers really appreciate Tom volunteering his time and effort for the league. Finally, special thanks to Marcie and Andria who helped quench the thirst and hunger of the senior participants.

Proggers brave the heat

Forty-eight Erie Shores proggers survived the 90º temperature and the windy conditions on June 17. It was a crazy kind of day which will be elaborated on in due course.

In the team game, once again it came down to the last group. There were 3 teams in the running. Team B held steady at -12, while Team C stood at -9 and Team D at -6.

Thanks to Bill Slater (Team B). Bill rocked the proggers with a sweet +6 to disappoint the other 2 teams. The elated winners were Dave Wilkinson, Tom Miehl, Orest Hrynewich, Greg Dunmore, Gene Bouliane, Ken Luxford, Gary Alderson, Larry Roberts, Dan McQueen, Ward Hutchins and Bill Slater.

In the skins game only 2 stood out. George Turnbull and Ron Tremblay each pocketed $42. George hit the pin on hole #3 and managed to sink his birdie putt. Ron Tremblay smashed the ball through the wind to get close on #5, the long 200 yard plus par 3.

The best shooters for the day were Jeff Brown at +8, Dan McQueen with +7 and Neil Reimer with +7. Jeff won $20 while Dan and Neil each got $12. Their wives will thank them once the money changes hands.

As for the craziness mentioned earlier, there were a few mishaps. What do Gord Anderson, Jack Martin, Orest Hrynewich, and Ed Schachowskoy have in common? All of them hit the wrong ball. The four that wear corrective lenses need more correction. Ed was misinformed that the ball he played was indeed his. Unfortunately, upon further examination, a mistake had been made. Apologies were extended and all was forgiven.

After George Turnbull’s birdie on #3 his game went on

holiday. He could not sink a putt to save his soul. George now owns the bragging rights of a miserable -12. Unless someone else ties this performance or beats it, George will claim the title. George was not the only one who couldn’t putt. There were numerous putts that dipped into the hole, only to spin out. On this day holes the size of toilet bowls were needed.

Jim Sudds also shared some of the spotlight. Jim has a sore right knee. Jim had an interesting setup where he placed his right foot behind and sort of balanced on his toe, ballerina style. It certainly was no graceful pirouette when he pounded the ball 250 yards into the wind. I thought of doing that but I wanted to keep my groin intact.

Lastly, Frank Gow nearly lost his cart and the scorecard into the pond on hole #12. Frank was searching for his misplayed ball. The wind nudged his cart and it started tipping but agile Frank was quick enough to grab it. All the while, Brett Madden, having a splendid game, was screaming, “The card, the card!” Mild mannered Gary Alderson just stood by and watched the antics of our own Laurel and Hardy.

LDSS honours top athletes

By Bryan Jessop There was plenty to celebrate as the Leamington District Secondary School Lions looked back on the 2013-14 season.

Another season of athletics officially came to an end at LDSS with the annual awards ceremony, held Wednesday, June 11 at the Rhine Danube Club. Major and team awards were declared at the banquet, where coaches, players and volunteers were able to reflect on individual and team seasons of both ups and downs.

“We had a pretty good season in some sports and we’ve got a way to go in others,” said LDSS athletics department head Tony Nurse, who was also one of two coaches for the Lions boys hockey team. “For some teams, there’s some work to do. The teams that had success are looking to build on it. There are also some good, strong Grade 9s and 10s who will be key players in upcoming years.”

The major awards, voted on by coaching staffs, were announced as follows: • junior girls outstanding athlete — Shannon Fehr; • junior boys outstanding athlete — Dan Warkentin; • senior girls outstanding athlete — Jillian Iles; • senior boys outstanding athlete — Jerell Penales; • vice principal’s award (sportsmanship and athletics) — Chantal Garrod; • principal’s award (academics and athletics) — Kaitlin Davie; • Mary Elizabeth Awrey Memorial Award (outstanding sportsmanship in girls’ athletics) — Monitha Leng; • Dick Bowen Memorial Award (unsung hero) — Nick Froese; • coaching recognition award — Mary Kay Gabert.

Gabert, a mathematics teacher at LDSS, stepped forward as the teacher-sponsor for the senior boys basketball team, the senior girls basketball team and the girls softball team.

She also coaches the Lions’ figure skating team.

The banquet also included the declaration of several team awards, given as follows: • tennis MVP — Mara Ondjeko; • golf MVPs — Lauren Reid, Cale Phibbs; • junior girls basketball, most developed — Emily Wiebe; • junior girls basketball, MVP — Monitha Leng; • senior girls basketball, MVPs — Ashley Mallot, Jillian Iles; • senior boys volleyball, most improved — Eric Koop, Ryan Botham; • senior boys volleyball, MVPs — Kevin Fehr, Cornie Froese;

The Southpoint Sun - 23

Laker Mosquitoes go 2-1 on weekend The Leamington Lakers Mosquito travel team, sponsored by Harder’s Heating & Cooling, started their weekend off June 13th against a tough opponent in the Windsor Stars. Although the boys battled hard, the team from Windsor just seemed to hit the ball in the right spot all night and the Lakers lost 16-6.

The game was highlighted by Spencer Bergen’s home run over the fence on diamond one, the first to do so since 2009 when Tyler Wall did it as a Mosquito.

On Sat. June 14 the boys travelled to Chatham and this game was never in doubt. The Lakers put up 5 in the first inning and cruised to a 15-6 victory over the host team.

On Sunday the team knew they would be in for a tough one against the hard throwing team from Belle River, but on this day Conner Bergen brought his ‘A’ game to the mound, throwing 4 innings of shutout baseball.

Inspired by this, the team in red and white put on a hitting clinic and engineered an 11-1 mercy of the visiting Braves with Brandon Friesen leading the way with a double and deep triple to the fence in CF, while Thomas Jennings and Kanaan Gale both contributed 2 for 2 performances with a couple of two-baggers. Spencer Bergen, Alex Jadishcke and Austin Neufeld all continued to swing hot bats and crossed the plate six times for the home team.

Erie Shores senior golf Monday, June 23 saw 63 golfers out for 18 holes of golf. This is the most that have been out so far this year with 4 new golfers signing up to play. Everyone enjoyed the day as most of the golfers played their rounds in less than 4 hours.

The duck family with 7 cute little ducklings are doing well; you may have spotted them around the pond at #10 hole. Also 2 deer and some wild turkeys were spotted. It’s awesome to enjoy a round of golf with nature all around you.

Dave Wilkinson may have had the shot of the day as he chipped in from the trap on #13 for a birdie 2 net 1. Willy Patkau also chipped in on #12 for a par 4 net 3.

Wayne Quinn finally failed to get on the prize table so hopefully he’ll show up again next week. Ron Thiesson shot an actual 72 and was actually kidded by his partners for not being able to shoot par for the course.

Great shooting, Ron. Also, if anyone would like to take putting lessons from Pat Amicone you may have to stand in line as Pat made 3 or 4 putts around the 30 foot range. Great putting, Pat. Following are the final results: Fifty-fifty draw winners were Gord Anderson $18 and Ken Luxford $13.

Closest to the pin on #3 and also on #16 was Gary McRae (what a hog – great shooting, Gary).

Longest putt on #8 O’rest Hrynewich and on #13 Ed Schachowskoy.

1st place team with $12 each - Fred Klassen, Bob Sinclair, Pat Amicone and Bill Ward.

2nd place team with $9

each - Gary Alderson, Bill Stackpoole, Frank Mazzara and Barry Power.

3rd and 4th place teams tied with $5 each - Ken Luxford, Dave Wilkinson, Tom Bondy, Barry Miller and also Heinz Kosempel, Bob Sutherland, Terry Bee and Will Patkau.

Make sure you sign up
