Leamington dock will be open for Canada Day festivities

By Pat Bailey Visitors to Leamington’s Canada Day Fireworks will get a little more bang for their buck.

Well actually, they’ll get a chance to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary from an amazing vantage point for this year’s fireworks display.

In a marathon session of Council Monday night, June 26, CAO Peter Neufeld was delighted to announce the municipality has reached an agreement to lease the dock from the Minister of Transportation for the nominal fee of one dollar — beginning on June 27 — for a five-year term.

Neufeld said negotiations with the ministry began about two years ago, designed to include the dock as part of the municipality’s vision for the development of the waterfront.

The timing couldn’t have been better to help the municipality mark Canada’s 150th.

Neufeld said, following the Canada Day parade, which begins at the fairgrounds at 4 p.m. (and hosted by the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce), everyone is invited down to the waterfront to take in live entertainment on stage, beginning at 6 p.m., with a commitment ceremony welcoming new Canadians, as well as a lineup dedicated to celebrating the community’s history of welcoming newcomers.

The fireworks will be launched from a barge this year, beginning at 10:05 p.m., to allow everyone a bird’s eye view of the display — one which promises to be spectacular.

But Neufeld was quick to say the opening of the dock is only for the Canada Day events. He said it will then be closed to allow the municipality to complete the work on it for a Spring 2018 opening.

The dock, which he referred to as “the 42nd Parallel Pier”, still has to be officially named and will eventually serve as a promenade and walking pier and may include a coffee or wine bar or other food and drink service, or it may be used for the arts, cultural or community events.

Other terms of the lease include: a term of five years, beginning in 2017, but after the first two years the minister may terminate with a year’s notice; a renewal option for one five-year extension; the municipality shall, during the entire term, release and indemnify the minister from loss or damage to any person and, at its sole cost and expense, take out and keep in full force and effect insurance with the minister added as named insured; the municipality shall, at its own cost, maintain, operate and manage the leased lands and improvements to the leased land in a clean and first class manner and shall make needed repairs and replacements in a good workmanlike manner with due diligence; and finally, the municipality may not assign the lease nor sublet, nor licence any part of the leased lands without the prior consent of the Minister Councillors, too, were thrilled by the news and applauded the CAO and his staff for their efforts.

The roof of Leamington’s new outdoor amphitheatre is lowered towards its support pillars by crane at Seacliff Park Tuesday, June 27. The phase of the project was delayed by one day due to persistent winds on June 26.

Amphitheatre project taking shape

By Bryan Jessop Municipal council is now confident it’ll be able to ‘raise the roof’ for the second annual installment of Hogs For Hospice.

The latest step in the process of revamping Leamington’s water front became visible for all to see on Tuesday, June 27 as the outdoor amphitheatre’s roof was raised and secured to its four support pillars before a crowd of onlookers that included members of municipal council and administration. The foundation of the stage was built roughly two months earlier and although the structure officially began taking on its basic shape upon installation of its 47,000 pound roof, Leamington director of infrastructure services Rob Sharon explained that there are still a handful of steps remaining on the project’s to-do list.

Although the amphitheatre will not be used for upcoming Canada Day celebrations, mayor John Paterson explained that it will be completed and ready for use upon the arrival of the second annual Hogs For Hospice from Friday, Aug. 4 through Sunday, Aug. 6.

The new stage’s first major act will be Our Lady Peace — the Hogs For Hospice headlining act for Saturday, Aug. 5.

The $1.2 million project is slated for completion in late July and will be able to seat a capacity of 5,000 spectators once an estimated 75 to 80 feet of concrete is poured across the flat surface at the base of the hill separating Seacliff Beach from Seacliff Park. The flat surface surrounding the stage will stretch from about 15 feet behind the stage to the base of the hill and extend to the fence that partially surrounds the building currently being leased by Burgess’s Restaurant immediately west of the new beach volleyball courts.

Leamington student 1 of 150 from across Canada chosen for trip to Ottawa

Chloe Jakob, a Grade 10 student from Leamington, is one of 150 youth between the ages of 14-19, chosen from across Canada, for a trip to Ottawa on June 24 for eight days of experiential learning, leadership development, and community engagement activities as part of Canada 150&Me.

Hearing Professional Makes Hearing Healthcare More Accessible with Out Clinic help those who need hearing healthcare, but are unable to travel to the nearest clinic to get the help they need.

Brandy Breault, Hearing Instrument Specialist at ListenUP! Canada

Brandy Breault is a Hearing Instrument Specialist from ListenUP! Canada who recognizes the need for more accessible hearing healthcare in Leamington.

ListenUP! Canada has a hearing healthcare clinic at 313 Main St. E in Kingsville that is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 - 4:30, but for some in Leamington, this may be a distance to travel. So, every other Monday, Breault drives to the Leamington out clinic at the South Essex Community Council at 215 Talbot Street East to provide free, no obligation hearing tests, a broad selection of brand-name, digital hearing aids and assistive listening devices at affordable prices, DV ZHOO DV KHDULQJ DLG ¿Wtings, cleanings and repairs.

These out clinic services

“I basically offer the same hearing healthcare services provided at any other clinic location,” says Breault. “People may not have a driver’s license. A clinic may be too far for people to travel outside of Leamington. People may not be well enough to travel and it may be easier for loved ones to bring them to a clinic closer to home.”

While completing her Speech and Language Sciences degree at Brock University, Breault took some audiology courses that sparked her interest in the ¿HOG 6KH WKHQ GHFLGHG WR pursue a career in audiology and obtained her Hearing Instrument Specialist diploma from Conestoga College. Breault started her student placement with ListenUP! Canada in 2014 and has been with the company ever since – helping clients treat their hearing loss and reconnect with the world around them.

Breault will be at the out clinic on Tuesday, July 4th & Monday, July 17 th from 8:30-4:30. To book an appointment, please call 1-888-364-5419.

The year-long project is aimed at starting a national conversation among youth about the greatest challenges and opportunities facing Canada for their generation. Juliana Willemsma, a Kingsville High School student, was also selected from Essex County.

Over the course of eight days, 150 youth will participate in a number of activities throughout the region, including attending the Governor General’s Awards on the Performing Arts; volunteering at the Gloucester Community Garden, Gatineau Park and Ottawa 2017’s ‘Picnic on the Bridge’; as well as visiting Parliament Hill and national museums. They will also have key roles to play in the Canada 150 celebrations, performing in the Canada Day noon hour show, and acting as National Gallery “teen docents for a day,” talking to visitors about their favorite pieces in the Canadian Art Collection.

While in Ottawa, the participants will present the collective results and recommendations from a series of Regional Forums that took place across the country, discussing the greatest challenges and opportunities for Canada’s future. An estimated 2,900 youth Chloe Jakob took part in the Forums, addressing subjects ranging from mental health, relationships with Indigenous People, LGBTQ rights, humanitarian assistance, the environment and sustainable development, social inclusion, diversity, education, the economy and the attachment to social media.

Chloe, daughter of Molly and Chris Jakob of Leamington, has a keen interest in Environmental Sciences. Inspired to make a difference by all the work and research she has been part of as a member of the LDSS Eco Team, she entered the 150 & Me contest in the Environment category.

“TD Bank Group has been pleased to support initiatives like the Canada 150&Me Youth Forums, that inspire young Canadians to consider how they can make a difference in the world around them,” stated Valérie Picher, AVP Community Relations, TD Bank Group.

Recommendations from each of the four regional forums will be presented to business and political leaders and government officials at the National Youth Forum in Ottawa on June 26 with keynote speakers. The 150 youth will present a series of eight 5-minute multimedia presentations they have worked on collectively to represent the main ideas and highlights from the forums they attended. Special guests include His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada; renowned author and historian, Charlotte Gray, C.M; National Chief Perry Bellegarde, of the Assembly of First Nations; and Will Amos, MP, Pontiac.

“We see Canada 150 as a milestone. It’s not only an opportunity to reflect on our past 150 years as a confederation, but it’s also an opportunity to put young people at the forefront of an exploration of the Canada we want for the next 150 years. So we started a conversation and challenged young people to help shape the future of Canada. We asked them to speak up, speak often and speak loudly,” says Deborah Morrison, President & CEO of Experiences Canada. “Have they ever! Seeing opportuand overcoming challenges are very much parts of Weekend Weather nities their young lives. It’s often the small, early steps we take Thursday that can have a huge ripple effect. This will be our Canada H 26º 150&Me legacy – motivating thousands of young people to get more involved in their communities and to interest them L 20º in national public policy.”

Proposed ‘sister city’ in Mexico for Leamington

Members of Ironworkers Local 700 march along the sidewalk to the eastern perimeter of Seacliff Park Monday, June 26 in protest to the Municipality of Leamington’s decision to hire a Dorchester, Ont. contractor to build a new amphitheatre at the south end of the park. Members explained that a Windsor company was outbid by $592.

Union protests amphitheatre contract

By Bryan Jessop The stage of Leamington’s newest attraction wasn’t quite set at the time, but the first note emitted from its vicinity was a somber one.

While contractors prepared to have the roof of Leamington’s newest amphitheatre raised at the south end of Seacliff Park, members of Ironworkers Local 700 stood outside the park’s eastern boundary in protest of the municipality’s decision to award the contract to a Dorchester, Ont. based company. Representatives of Local 700 gathered on the sidewalk along the west side of Forest Avenue carrying signs portraying messages of disappointment in response to council’s choice of a London-area company to build and erect the structure, situated at the base of Secaliff Hill between the beach and park.

Welding instructor and Ironworkers Local 700 executive board member Brian Hamlin explained that a bid from a Windsor-based company — TCI Titan Contracting — came in at $592 more than the winning bid by Aveiro Constructors Ltd., pegged at just under $1.17 million.

“We see so many out of town companies coming this way — why?” Hamlin said. “It’s not just Leamington. It’s happening in the city (Windsor) and all over the county. We’re not here to speak out against the company that was chosen, it’s about the decision that was made.”

Hamlin and his Local 700 cohorts who took part in the Monday, June 26 protest were not responsible for the delay of the amphitheatre’s roof installation scheduled to take place that morning. That stage of the project was delayed by heavy winds that would have made the joining of the roof and its supporting pillars too risky, a step in construction that was rescheduled for Tuesday, June 27.

“We know we can’t stop this; that’s not why we’re here,” said Hamlin. “It’s the principle of the thing, to let people know what’s going on. When these jobs go to local workers, the money is made and spent here — the economy needs that. What do we do with all the people coming back from out West now that the oil wells have slowed?”

Hamlin explained that about 20 Local 700 retirees live in Leamington, some of whom attended the Monday protest. The group intended to stage the same demonstration at the same location the previous Friday, but was met with inclement weather.

“There are local companies that could have manufactured this roof,” added Iron Workers District Council of Ontario organizer Jeremy Schembri, with the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. “We’re just letting people know that we don’t think it’s right, especially after all the layoffs when Heinz shut down.”

“It would have been different if they were building a Tim Hortons, but for a city project where tax dollars are being used, it should have been local,” added Local 700 member Matt Ferguson.

Leamington Mayor John Paterson explained that Local 700’s issue with the selection related to their ongoing efforts to unionize its employees. He also stated that the Ontario government’s Municipal Act requires that the lowest bid be accepted rather than basing a choice strictly on the bidder’s geographic location.

“Unless there is a reason they can’t perform the job, we have to award the contract to the lowest bidder,” Paterson said. “It would be nice to always choose the local company, but when we’re using the taxpayers’ money, we have to think of cost. With the Municipal Act, there’s also the risk of being taken to court by the lowest bidder if they aren’t selected.”

At its June 12 meeting, Leamington Council welcomed the city of Salvatierra, Mexico, to the family as a proposed ‘sister city’, following a report from Jeanine Lassaline-Berglund, manager of economic and community development, and a presentation from the Mexican Consulate, Consul Alberto Bernal, which included a letter from the city’s mayor, Jose Herlindo Velazquez Fernandez.

In the letter, the Mexican mayor told Council that they too are quite involved in the agriculture industry and their region is considered ‘the barn of Mexico’.

He said they have 14,000 hectares of agricultural fields in which they grow a variety of produce including corn, beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, cantaloupe, watermelon, guava and sweet potatoes.

Lassaline-Berglund told Council that the size and economic landscape of the city mimics that of Leamington. As well, she said, a number of local migrant workers are from this area and the proposed ‘sister city’ relationship could open possibilities of co-operation

in the agricultural industry, tourism, culture and other areas that would provide mutual benefit.

She told Council that in the past, such designations were more ceremonial in nature, but believes this one could allow the municipality to pursue export development and access to markets for local industry partners in Salvatierra. She went on to say the Economic and Community Development Department will take a lead role in hosting and entertaining investment development from Mexico, in partnership with and support from the

Consulate of Mexico, the Windsor-Essex Economic Development Corporation and provincial partners.

Members of Council expressed their gratitude to Consul Bernal, and Deputy-Mayor Hilda McDonald commended him for extending the hand of friendship and the possibility of an economic development plan that could benefit both communities.

Bernal also thanked the municipality for its kindness and support following the recent death of an area migrant worker.

The final walkthrough at LDSS on June 10 was certainly a blast from the past.

I met and talked to quite a few people I hadn’t met before and also ones who I hadn’t seen in years.

I ran immediately into Mike Vorkapich and his wife as I entered the gym. I’ve run into Mr. Vorkapich a few times over the years and we always have a good chat. Their son Steve was there with them and we talked for a bit too.

Mr. Vorkapich was my Grade 9 Science teacher and also my agriculture teacher. So I had him twice in the same day.

As I walked through the hallways, the memories came flooding back like I had been there just yesterday. In fact, it had been almost 40 years. The layout of the building remained the same as I recalled.

The cafeteria was set up with a lot of memorabilia for sale, from the old sports pennants to Phoebus yearbooks and even old school uniforms.

A slideshow was being projected onto a large screen in the gym and smaller screens throughout the hallways.

It was such a familiar feeling to be walking those halls again.

Not much has changed.

I ran into Mark Schmenk and his daughter Emily, who were taking the tour together. She is a current student, so she had a different perspective than us older people did.

We walked into the old Tech department, reminiscing about Mr. Blatchford coming out of his doorway to scold someone walking down the hall who was making too much noise. We shared stories with anyone who would listen about some of the things we did and classes we attended.

We talked about Mr. Lepp’s auto shop and Mr. Adamache’s antics in electricity class.

Upon walking into the woodworking room, it brought forth some old feelings.

The desks were the same that had been there 40 years

MARK RIBBLE

ago, and I suspect, the same as had been installed in 1952 when the school Rib’s was built.

Ramblings Those old work-table style desks with the round wooden seats that swung out from them were our place to be as we awaited instruction from Mr. Dueckman in those days.

Looking around the wood shop, not much had changed on the machinery end either. The old planer was still in the same spot, as was the band saw and drill press. Two or three lathes sat idle near the edge of the room.

On top of the large wood cabinets on one side of the room sat a few long-forgotten high school projects, including the dastardly miniature framed-in house that we all had to build in Grade 11.

It seemed to take me all year to build that. I wasn’t real adept at connecting all of those miniature joists, studs and rafters, but my house got completed on time nonetheless.

And there in the front corner, sat Mr. Dueckman’s old desk, covered in books and other stuff that had accumulated over the years.

I could almost picture him sitting there with a big smile on his face, that big mustache stretching from one side of his face to the other.

It brought a certain amount of sadness that he wasn’t there, knowing that he died several years ago at Point Pelee, saving a child from drowning.

Time has certainly marched on since our days at LDSS and LDHS before that.

It’s hard to believe that building is 65 years old. It was still a relatively young structure when I went there. I suppose that makes me old. Oh well, so many other things make me old these days too. I guess that should be no different.

Restored Internet and faith in our fellow Canadians

As our children get older and technology makes communication from a distance easier, fathers were celebrated on Sunday whether they were near or far away.

We awoke Sunday morning to Father’s Day wishes from our children to Mark. This was a pleasant sound for many reasons but especially since it was a sign that our Wi-Fi system was still up and running.

Many of you live in an area that a consistent Internet has become something that you expect, and for the most part may take for granted. Here on Little Whale Cay, not only has this been an exception, but in reality a time-consuming focus of mine.

When we arrived 3 years ago, we were pleased to know that we would have access to the ‘World Wide Web’ albeit with limitations. A large rusted satellite dish was responsible for bringing us Internet. We were able to email and message our friends, but Facebook or streaming was something that we only explored if we knew that the owners or other guests were not coming to the island that month. Our allotted 10 GB was barely enough to get us by.

During both the owners’ family visits over the first Christmas on the island and a charter group that came for the week over New Year’s, we saw our Internet usage soar. Mark and I were both shocked by the overage charges that month and quickly realized that island communications needed to be our New Year’s focus.

At first we tried to reach out to the name of the IT tech that I found in our files left by the past managers. This guy had at one time orchestrated the set up of the Internet and phone systems over satellite. Although most likely efficient at the time, by the look of the rusted, dilapidated SAT dish, it was time for a change. Unfortunately, there was no response from the technician.

The Berry Island chain, although for the most part desolate, the few that do live in the area are a close-knit group.

Our friends on Frozen and Alders were updating their systems at this time and shared the name of their tech. We arranged to share a plane and have him come out to visit both of our locations along with Big Whale Cay as well.

Bart arrived and some of you may recall the week that he stayed here. He had big stories and big promises. Many dollars later he finally left, and without complaint we had Internet service from a tiny SIM card from our local Bahamas telecommunications. The rusty old satellite dish is still connecting and available for backup if necessary. For well

over a year, we enjoyed the best Internet service since we had arrived and up to 30 GB at less than half the price for satellite reception.

Things went so smoothly SHANNON for a time that I got to focus MATHESON on other projects around the island. We really got moving on our list of things that we wished to accomLifestyles... plish on the island prior to finally getting to a maintenance mode. Hurricane Matthew arrived in October and rewrote our list of to-dos and wreaked havoc on our Internet. Initially, all modes of communication went down, but even after Chub Cay tower, the one we get Internet from, was reestablished, our system never entirely came back. Wi-Fi has been inconsistent for almost a year, breaking in and out, and our phones totally unreliable. My stepmother is my witness, as she has had to endure many test calls that were horrible at best!

In November we had another technician come all the way from Ohio. He, too, was scheduled to spend a few days on our island and then head up to Alders and Frozen. He arrived with boxes of new equipment and big promises. After a week, a good part of the equipment was installed and my fridge was empty. His departure, although welcome in many ways, left us with a less than par Internet service, passwords that did not work and a very large bill. During our 3 years here, over $30,000 had been spent on Internet equipment installation and this didn’t include the monthly billing.

Discouraged, I felt that my main job had become Wi-Fi technician and although I had learned a lot, my frustration at spending hours troubleshooting was exhausting. Batelco is the only act in the show and therefore there seems to be no rush to repair its infrastructure, let alone hire techs to answer the call centre in less than one hour. If my phone line lasted that long, I was usually connected to the wrong person and the call was then dropped while trying to transfer my call. Hence, the hair colouring!

I was very excited to finally connect to 3 technicians who came from Bahamas. Truly, I held hope that, with someone local with ties to the BTC, things would get done. Sadly, after three round trip flights to our island from Nassau, adding up to $3,000, our service totally shut down. I had to use (Continued on page 5)

Restored Internet and faith in our fellow Canadians

(Continued from page 4) my coconut, and not only was I talking about my noggin but the coconut tree outside our front door. That’s correct, I figured since I had a data plan on my iPhone, I could use the personal hotspot in the settings to at least run our computer. Within our concrete walls of the house I couldn’t get service, but if I set the phone in the orchid that I had strung to the side of the coconut tree, I was able to get up to 3 bars and the fastest Internet in months!

Although I was excited to be able to communicate again, I was realistic enough to know that with the upcoming owner visit, I may need to step it up a notch. Nick Stanton, a hometown boy from Leamington, was recommended to me from a friend back home. I reached out for his help and I am sure that after the first couple of chats via texts where I tried to explain our coconut communication system, he must have wondered if I was the nut!

Last week, Nick, at very short noticed, decided that he would take up my offer to return to the island with us after our weekend visit home. We landed on Little Whale Cay after an eventful return flight. Our routine landing on Chub Cay to clear customs became a not so routine stop when the pilot was unable to start the starboard engine because the mixer lever was jamming halfway. Nick found himself, along with Mark and the pilot, removing the engine cowling where Mark found that the idle mixture screw from the carburetor had fallen out, prohibiting the movement of the lever. Once the screw was secured back in its place, the cover was returned and we were off on our very short flight and descent to LWC. Nick stayed from Tuesday until Saturday morning and I am very happy to report that we have great Wi-Fi service. The island is reconnected and now at the lower cost of only $70 a month for unlimited Wi-Fi. To top it off, I finally have a simple sheet that I have wished for, explaining the system. It includes all of the usernames and passwords needed. Nick, you have just given me another reason to be a proud Canadian! Thanks so much!

Finally, a Monday morning arrived when I was able to write my column and then get back to our list. Hurricane season has arrived and with it the rainy season. The island is the greenest that I have seen since the first season we arrived. Everything is growing out of control and with one man short because we had to let Clint go, we are short-handed.

The owners arrive soon, which means provisions to order, beds to make and homes to clean, but knowing that I am able to connect with Nick for our technical issues, I may find time to play in the dirt too!

If you didn’t have to rely on technology because of distance, I hope you made time to physically be with your loved one to wish them a happy birthday, anniversary or Father’s Day!

Amphitheatre project taking shape (Continued from front) “The biggest part of the design is to make it as universal as possible,” said Sharon. “It’ll be a good fit for big acts and local performers through the summer months.”

Once complete, rented, portable seating may be used for the level surface in front of the stage to accommodate major acts while smaller events featuring local performers will permit spectators to set up lawn chairs atop the flat surface between the stage and hill.

“The hill has a perfect grade and it’s a perfect venue with a bowl shape to it,” Sharon explained. “The location for something like this is great.”

The ampitheatre’s stage will be approximately 40 feet wide and sit a standard four feet high from ground level. The structure itself is 35 feet tall. Remaining elements of the project include the installation of a permanent electrical system, an outer membrane for the roof and an exterior ‘skin’ made of composite paneling with a wood grain appearance.

About 12 hours before the amphitheatre’s roof was picked up and lowered onto the stage’s pillars, Leamington council officially signed a lease for the dock situated at the other end of Seacliff Beach. Previously, the dock’s speed bumps were removed and its surface was cleaned up in anticipation of Canada Day fireworks. Afterwards, the dock will again be closed to public access and then re-opened again for Your Cooling System Is the Last Thing the Sip and Savour weekon Your Mind. Keep It that Way. end August 18-20. From there, the dock will again be closed for the addition of safety rails.

“We’re moving along really well,” explained Leamington mayor John Paterson.

OPVG governance questioned

Editor: For nearly four months, farmers in Ontario who grow processing vegetables have been silenced after the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission shut down our organization – Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers (OPVG).

As a result, the Processing Vegetable Growers’ Alliance was formed to represent the interests of growers of the 14 different processing vegetables grown in Ontario, in the absence of OPVG. Our goal, as an alliance of growers, is to restore a fully elected OPVG board with the authority to negotiate prices, terms, conditions and contracts for Ontario’s processing vegetable growers.

But on June 15, 2017, the commission posted proposed amendments to Regulation 441 (Vegetables for Processing – Plan) that impact governance of OPVG. We have very serious concerns about the proposed amendments that would effectively allow the government to take control of the OPVG board for another year.

OPVG currently has no expert advisory staff or board, and is operated by a commission-appointed trustee.

Our sector is best served by the grassroots growers who produce the 14 different processing vegetables grown in Ontario. And a fully elected grower board is in the best position to accurately and adequately represent our sector.

The proposed amendments to OPVG board governance will put the voice of the processing growers at a minority, with government appointees making up the majority of the OPVG board until the end of 2018.

It is unacceptable that the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission intends to appoint more than 50% of the OPVG board positions (board chair plus four board members) with no requirement that these board members are active processing vegetable growers in Ontario.

We are encouraging all Industrial Painting processing vegetable growPressure Washing ers in the province to take the opportunity to comment Concrete Sealing on the proposed amendDeck & Fence Staining ments by the July 31, 2017 Line Painting deadline date.

Dangerous street crossing

The other day we went on our normal doggy walk to Seacliff Park via Sherk St. and Seacliff Rd. There is a recently installed traffic light with a “walk” light when the button is pushed at the corner of Sherk and Seacliff, which we are very appreciative of when crossing the road to the park. However, as we start walking, many times drivers on Sherk start to turn left toward us as we are walking.

More than once, drivers have roared around in front of us or immediately behind us as we crossed on the “walk”.

On this day though, a car came right up to us and almost hit us before hitting the brakes as we crossed. We were stunned and shocked.

One day someone is going to get hit! I don’t know why the green light for traffic on Sherk St. can’t remain red while the walk sign is flashing! This is very dangerous!

OBITUARY

John Surowaniec

Landon Neil Johns Liam Donald Johns

With great sadness we announce the passing of John Surowaniec on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at Erie Shores Hospice Leamington.

John was born in Poland on February 13, 1922.

Predeceased by his wife Josephine in 2013 to whom he was married for 67 years, and predeceased by his son Edward in 1999. He is survived by his son Richard Surowaniec and daughterin-law Louise of London, and daughter Mary Del Greco and son-in-law Gino of Leamington. Proud grandfather to Chris and Laura Del Greco of Leamington, Dave and Melissa Del Greco of Leamington, Tim Del Greco and Amanda Padovan of Tilbury, Nathan Surowaniec of London and Kasia Surowaniec of London.

LIMITED SPOTS, REGISTER TODAY

Pelee Past Questers enjoy June meeting Pelee Past Questers recently enjoyed a delicious lunch in June at Birdie’s Perch in Leamington. Owner Kathleen Yetman shared the story of the eclectic restaurant including the very much intended double entendre of the name. The red double-decker bus, originally from England, is a Bristol low decker. The lower deck was necessary to allow the bus, which serviced rural areas, to pass under the railway bridges.

Since arriving in Canada it has had a long history of service as a food establishment. Transferred to Leamington, it underwent a year-long restoration. It has been bolted to the site so this is likely the last stop.

In inclement weather the upper deck has some seating.

The site of the restaurant has also been subject to a thorough cleanup and the planting of 80 Carolinian species of trees. Recently the neighbouring Trading Post has been purchased, restored and also has food service and an assortment of gifts. A mister has been set up beside the pleasant outdoor eating area where birds and insects can enjoy the cool spray.

Pelee Past Questers next meeting is scheduled July 27.

The group is meeting at the Real Canadian Super Store southwest corner at 10:15 a.m. to explore the historic and interesting sights in Lakeshore. Call 519-326-1361 to reserve your spot or for more information.

Symbolic Flower Plantings Mark 500th Anniversary of the Reformation

To mark the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, the Catholic Women’s League of St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Ladies of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church met Monday afternoon, June 19 at St. Michael’s Church. After a short prayer service focusing on the Christian commitment to love, the CWL ladies explained that since Luther’s emblem is a white rose, they would plant a white rose bush to mark the occasion. Also, the Lutheran Ladies were offered a blue hydrangea to plant on their property to honour Mary, the mother of Jesus. Pictured, Monica Weil of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (left) and Mary Lapos of St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church will oversee the care of the perennial plants at their respective churches to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

Painting in pool area of Complex to begin in July

By Pat Bailey Leamington Council once again voted to put its trust in the professionals they have enlisted to provide them with expert advice when making costly decisions in the municipality.

Last week, Council awarded a tender for the painting of the Leamington Recreation Complex pool ceiling to Performance Painting and Floor Coating at a cost of $292,635.

The decision was based on the advice to apply a solventbased paint that will extend the lifespan of the project despite some concern expressed regarding the possible fumes associated with such paints. But Council was assured measures will be taken to keep the odors to a minimum throughout the Complex.

Council also approved recommendations by Terry Symons, manager of recreation services, to expand the ceiling project to include the installation of 125 feet of fire resistant drainage piping to replace a portion of the cast iron pipe currently in place while the scaffolding is in place for the painting portion. An additional $70,000 will be taken from the Kinsmen Complex reserves to help cover the over-expenditure which is expected to be nearly $66,000.

The project is slated to begin in early July. All summer programming at the pool has been cancelled in anticipation of the start of the project.

Child struck by vehicle

On June 22, at approximately 5:50 p.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Essex Windsor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Leamington Fire Services responded to a motor vehicle and pedestrian collision on Erie St. S. near Mill St. in Leamington.

An 8-year-old girl was struck by a vehicle and was subsequently transported by EMS to an area hospital suffering serious injuries.

The OPP’s Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attended the scene and the investigation is continuing.

Erie St. S. between Mill St. and Russell St. was closed for approximately 3 hours.

Raising the roof: companies band together to redo roof at youth resource centre

Recently a group of roofing companies banded together to redo the roof of the former St. Joseph’s Church on Sherk St. This represented the start of renovations to the church site to create a youth resource centre for ages 1624. Twenty-two workers laboured over 5 hours, donating their time and materials to get this exciting project underway.

It is projected that all renovations will be completed by late summer with an official opening of the youth centre at that time.

The St. Joseph’s Church site was purchased earlier this year by a new local not-for-profit group, Building Bridges, with the vision of establishing this youth hub (to be named “The Bridge”) to assist disadvantaged youth in finding love and a hope for the future.

Through various support services, the youth will be positioned to become productive contributors to society. This centre will house kitchen,

recreation, homework, shower/laundry and chapel areas, plus offices for support workers to assist these youth in transitioning to a better environment.

Longer term phases include construction of both transitionary and permanent residential units.

A large emphasis will be placed on the surprisingly growing homeless youth challenge in the local communities. Building Bridges has governance provided by a Board of Directors comprised of individuals who are devoted to assisting those in need in the community. Prior research indicated the number was growing and was also unknown to many.

As the renovations proceed, the Board members will be seeking opportunities to partner with other community members to assist by way of in-kind donations, volunteer labour and/or financial support. If you are interested in learning more on how you can participate, contact George Bergen at 519-322-2264 or John Ferguson at 519-733-

Several area roofing companies joined forces to re-do the roof at the former St. Joseph’s Church on Sherk St. The building is being renovated to create The Bridge, a centre that will assist disadvantaged youth.

Leamington District Secondary School has awarded student athletes following their final seasons based at 125 Talbot St. West.

The athletic awards for the 2016-17 campaign were declared and handed out Wednesday, June 14 at the Leamington Portuguese Club, where about 200 students, parents, coaches and other LDSS staff attended to discover who’d be among the last group of honourees prior to the opening of the new LDSS on Oak Street West. Athlete of the year awards, memorial awards and per-team accolades were given to athletes spanning Grades 9 to 12.

The occasion was also an opportunity to reflect on individual and team achievements accomplished during fall, winter and spring seasons for athletes donning Lion jerseys.

“It was a pretty successful season overall,” explained LDSS physical education department head Tony Nurse.

“We saw success in a number of programs and now we’re looking forward to new facilities and moving ahead.”

Leamington District Secondary School athletes will compete within new accommodations that includes gymnasium and court surfaces that can be divided into three separate playing areas. Portable seating that can be extended at the push of a button will be able to seat nearly 1,000 spectators.

Success Nurse referred to from 2016-17 included a first OFSAA appearance for the Lions’ senior boys volleyball team, two doubles teams advancing to OFSAA badminton and a WECSSAA championship for the girls slo-pitch team.

The latter team was also crowned All Ontario AAA champs after winning a 32-team tournament in Dorchester during the spring of this year.

Wednesday, June 28, 2017 BRYAN JESSOP

Time and time again

The chronological landscape that is the final week of June and the first few glorious days of summer have changed Jessop’s somewhat since I was a kid.

Journal Sure, it still means the introduction to summer vacation for millions of kids across the country. Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” was an anthem of sorts this time of year when I was a kid, although I doubt very much anyone in JK to 8 nowadays has even the slightest familiarity with “The Coop.”

If you don’t mind my slipping into another “back in MY day” old-man tirade, there are some things that have changed over the years. When I was a kid, the notion of the minor baseball season starting weeks ahead of the last day of school was a foreign concept… at least from what I recall. Minor soccer still seemed like a bit of a newfangled thing back then, but even at that point, the thought of the season starting before school let out wasn’t even considered, let alone the season ENDING prior to that long awaited final dismissal bell.

Yes, in many house league systems at least, minor soccer comes and goes in a two-month blink of the eye. My kid’s final game was played five days before his last day of school. The schedule made for some pretty hectic Wednesday evenings of scurrying home from work, tossing some hot dogs on the barbecue, throwing his jersey over his head, filling a snack bag and racing off to the fields for a 6 p.m. start. Won’t lie, I’m not going to miss that.

This seems to be where soccer sets itself apart from most other minor sports, at least in this neck of the woods. Within days after the house league system winding up, the travel machine fires up and begins roaring across pitches scattered throughout Essex, Kent and beyond. It’s an interesting concept for someone who’s more accustomed to sports where house and travel systems operate simultaneously.

And yes, it got me thinking… what if other minor sports associations applied the same scheduling strategy?

No doubt, it’d be a classic case of easier said than done. One advantage that comes to mind for the absence of parallel house and travel itineraries is the ease of playing surface availability. Nope, virtually no scheduling conflicts between the two groups that I could think of, save for the possibility of some overlap between travel tryouts and house league playoffs. The tradeoff of course was some pretty chilly late April Saturday mornings, where strong winds were capable of pushing the temps to a few scant degrees above freezing. On the flip side of that same coin, the house league divisions at least didn’t have much of the sweltering heat to deal with.

Additionally, the risk of ‘burnout’ is virtually nil for kids who enjoy soccer but aren’t completely obsessed with it. The house league kids get a stint of about 18 to 20 games in two months and then the options are available to pursue other interests, be it baseball, lacrosse, swimming lessons, cycling, the arts, the outdoors, you name it. For travel kids, those two months of house league are an ideal warm-up phase leading up to the more competitive half of their spring/summer. For kids dedicated to travel hockey, the sport is virtually non-stop. As much as I loved playing as a kid, I don’t think I could have went year-round without suffering hockey burnout. I can’t help but think that it has something to do with the fact that there are now more kids playing minor hockey in the U.S. than there are in Canada. Sure, the escalating costs of the sport have something to do with it and Americans as a whole have a bit more disposable income than us. Sure, they’ve also got a population 10 times higher than ours to draw from, but my suspicions remain — non-stop hockey is taking its toll. Even if a minor soccer kid plays both house league and THEN travel, that’s between four and five months per year combined. I suppose minor soccer players have indoor leagues to consider during the winter months, but that’s an entirely different variation of the game… kind of like comparing ice hockey to road or floor hockey.

But alas, the drawbacks are certainly there too. Suppose a kid really wants to play soccer well into the month of August but lacks the talent to crack his home town’s travel system.

That, in a nutshell, would be a real bummer — especially if his or her closest friends made the team. The situation could get awkward… “hey man, you wanna ride our bikes to the park on Saturday and go fishing (do kids still do that sort of thing)? Or hang out and play video games?”

“Sorry, I’ve got a soccer game in Tecumseh that afternoon.”

Midget Lakers shut out Walker

Despite threatening skies on Tuesday evening, June 20, the Leamington Midget Lakers shut out the Walker Homesite Hawks 4-0 in Sun Parlour Midget League play.

“Dark and overcast, we got the game in just minutes before the rain hit,” said coach John Wall. “Great timing.”

Strong pitching and solid defense once again proved to be the story in this contest. The Lakers scored a single run in the second inning and 3 in the fourth inning, and then sat back and let the pitching and fielding seal the deal.

Mike Doyne started on the mound, pitched 4 innings, giving up only 2 hits and striking out 8 Hawk batters (averaging two an inning) to earn the win. Billy Friesen got the save, throwing the last 3 innings, facing only 10 batters and allowing only a seventh inning twoout walk.

Ryan Wall, and Lucas Lamotte led the way offensively with two hits each.

Brandon Teichroeb, AnMaster Plumber/Gas Fitter/Service thony Fehr and Kyle Wall Furnace Service & Cleaning had single tallies. Teichroeb Over 30 years experience scored twice.

A death and everything is changed We are painfully aware that life can never be the same again That yesterday is over That a relationship once rich is now different But there is another way to look upon this truth If life now went on the same Without the presence of the one who has died We could only conclude that the life we remember Made no contribution, Filled no space, Meant nothing The fact that our son left behind a space That cannot be filled is the highest tribute to his life Life can be the same after a trinket has been lost, But never after the loss of a treasure Forever MOM & DAD

We can't feel saddened over the loss of those we love without first remembering the joy of loving them.

The real sadness would have been never having had them in our lives at all.

Remembering is a journey the heart takes, back into a time that was, and our thoughts are the only tickets needed to ride.

You've made us so proud.

E.S. Thursday night men’s league results

After a fun night event featuring a team scramble and a few holes of alternate shot play on June 15, the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club got back on track with its regular league play on June 22.

Still leading the way with 114 points, the Sons of Pitches led by captain Tim Tiessen had a 22 point night to stave off Matt Iacobelli’s team, Primo, who had a 23 point gain, to now sit just a single point behind in second place with a total of 113.

The Bush Wackers, captained by Raoul Morin, had the biggest gain of all teams securing 23 points for a 89 point total and jumping 9 points past the Weapons of Grass Destruction who had the second worst night of all teams getting only 11 points to now sit in fourth place with 80.

Ward Hutchins’ team, Duffers and Bluffers, picked up only 10 points to remain in fifth spot with 76, while Geoff Dunmore and his Killer Tomatoes squad had a 14 point night to remain in sixth place a single point back at 75.

In individual scoring, Matt Iacobelli was the only player to break par on the back nine shooting a two under par 34 to finish two ahead of Tim Tiessen who had an even par round of 36. Brian Humphreys, Ryan Harder, Greg Zimney, Kyle Humphreys, Neil Sawatzky, Van Tan, Scott Wilkinson and Kevin Sawatzky all finished a stroke back with one over par scores of 37.

Gary Bondy led the way in the net play scoring, shooting a phenomenal seven under par net 29 to edge out, by a single stroke, Vic Tiessen who had a blistering round of six under par net 30. Heinz Kosempel and Joe Verhoeven finished tied for third with their five under par net scores of 31, while Bill Slater, Scott Wilkinson, Ross Clark, Tim Vreman, Jason Tiessen and Kevin Sawatzky were all next with four under par net rounds of 32.

It was a big night in the skins competition with a total of 11 winners including birdies by Neil Sawatzky, Mike Ferreira, Ryan Harder, Matt Iacobelli, Scott Wilkinson, Geoff Dunmore, Brian Higgins, Joe Moavro and Matt Dick in the gross flights.

In the handicap division, Gary McRae had a birdie skin while Neil Debacker had an incredible net double eagle 1 on the 14th hole.

Progs golf report

Excellent conditions for 58 Erie Shores Proggers presented itself June 20. Believe that full advantage was taken by most golfers.

Todd Hodgson, unfortunately for his team, crawled in with a -11.

There were many plus scores and they collected them all on Team C. Team winners, with a combined +41, are Ken Segedin, Bill Conn, Gary Alderson, Orest Hrynewich, Ollie Mastronardi, Henry Hidebrandt, Les Young, Robert Hudders, Dick Segedin, Richard Reive, Vic Tiessen, Brian Plumb, Carl Grossi, Ron Tremblay and Ron Koop. $10 each was pocketed.

The high plus was recorded by Richard Reive with a +8 and along with that was $20.

Tying for second place and $8 each were Bill Stackpoole, Carl Grossi and Ron Koop.

There were 4 skins winners. Ken Steingart, Ron Koop, Matt Dick and Steve O’Hara each pulled in $23 for their efforts.

June 28 was special for two individuals. First, Ken Steingart posted an eagle on the par 4 hole #2. Congratulations. Now stop crying that you don’t ever win skins. A special congratulations goes out to Ron Koop for his hole-in-one on the long par 3, hole #5.

When I left the clubhouse, Ron was working on his perpetual smile with some thirsty friends.

A hole-in-one is more special than an eagle. I had an eagle about a month ago and would gladly trade it in for a hole-in-one. I always have this uneasy feeling that my wife will get one before me. I just can’t imagine having my picture taken with my wife beaming in absolute joy while I am standing there with a pained smile.

Mel Davey showed his putting skill by 4 putting to earn the snake. The league actually stops at 3 but Mel is a never quit kind of guy.

What is the difference between a duffer and a good golfer? Let us examine the game of Kevin Shaften. We started on hole #10. Kevin struggled and only got 5 of the 25 points needed to be even. This was not looking good. When we started the second nine, Kevin put on the determined face. It was like he was possessed by Brooks Kopeca, the US Open champion. Kevin birdied the first two holes, then parred the next two. He was in rare form with long drives and solid putting. Even though Kevin cooled off after that, he managed to beat the points needed by two.

This caps off a remarkable day at Erie Shores. More fun will be had next week.

CARD OF THANKS

Thank You! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the open house for my 80th birthday party.

Thanks for the cards, flowers and gift cards, and for the best wishes.

A big thanks go to the staff at the Wheatley Talbot Trail Golf Club for the wonderful job they did on the preparation of the food.

Very much appreciated.

Talbot Trail scramble enjoyed by seniors

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, June 20, the Talbot Trail senior golfers experienced beautiful weather and course conditions for the first league scramble. There were 71 enthusiastic participants.

Members welcomed back Erle Nash to league play after his 3 year absence. I heard Erle’s excellent putting skills helped his team earn an impressive 33.

The closest to the pin on #7 was won by T6G2. Bob Scott’s outstanding shot helped his team mates (Vic R., Hal W., Tom H. and Gerry B.) each win $5. The closest to the pin victor on #9 went to T5G2. Dave Alexander’s terrific shot aided his scramble partners (Al Z., G. Hillier, Mike G., and Gary B.) each receive $5.

The long putt winner on #2 was T8G1 (George T., Dutchy, Dave K., Tom S., and Orville E.). George Toews made a dazzling putt to get $5 for each of his playing partners. Dave, George, and Bob also each received a sleeve of new balls for their fine individual efforts.

The draw winners of gift cards were: Ron Hillier $25; Larry Hughes $20; Gary Benninger $15; and Vic Reynaert $10.00.

Thank you to Scotty Westrop, Dan Tymec and George Toews who each entertained the members by telling very humorous stories.

There was a tie for first place between T1G1 and T5G3 as they both shot inspiring 32s. By a low numbered coin selection, T1G1 (Paul B., Richard H., Walter B., Paul Harrison, Jamie A.) were the winners and each player received 6 new golf balls. In second place winning 4 golf balls was T5G3 (Scratchy, Scoop, Tom W., Randy Z., and John L.).

Four teams tied with impressive 33s. Using the coins again, the third place team T5G2 (Al Z., Gary H., Mike G., Dave A., Gary B.) won 3 golf balls each. Fourth place winners were T5G1 (Neil A., Fred T., Gordie, Mike W., Gary B.). They received 2 new balls each.

The most travelled team T6G1 (Scotty, Ron H., Wayne H., Kevin J., Rivaits) took home 2 golf balls each.

Honourable mention goes to the other two teams that shot 33. These players were: T3G1 Bill W., Erle N., Mac H., Larry S., Bummy; and T3G2 - Al M., Carl R., Fuzzy, Joe V., Art R. Special thanks to Tom Dunn for his excellent cooking of the hot dogs and hamburgers.

Steve Marshall, Libby and Irene also kept the thirsty and hungry seniors very satisfied.

The next scramble will take place on Tuesday, July 18. There are 9 groups signed up for the Blenheim excursion which takes place on Friday, July 14.

So You Want to Win: A group of golfers are looking for one of their playing partner’s golf ball in the very deep rough. After a few Backhoe & Trenching • Sewers minutes, the golfer who had Waterlines • Basement Waterproofing hit the errant shot declared Trucking • Stone • Electric Eel Service that he had found his ball.

His playing partner loudly Clay • Fill • Sand • Topsoil yelled out that he’s a darn liar as I have his golf ball in Est. 1978 my pocket.

“Being able to see everyone as a whole through the entire student body is a nice way to do things,” said Brown, who spent the previous 19 years with the staff at F.J. Brennan Catholic High School in Windsor. “People will get used to it. I really think it’s going to grow.”

Student of the Year nominees were highlighted in video montage format throughout the evening in a style that Brown compared to Oscar nominees for each category. Prior to the awards ceremony, staff members made a list of candidates for Student of the Year and from there, whittled the field down to a short list of five, each of whom were featured during the Evening of Excellence Awards.

1947 Ford built at Ford plant in Vancouver

A group of admirers of various ages stop to admire the 1922 Model T of Mark Ouellette during the third annual Cruise Down Memory Lane car show at the Sun Parlor Home Wednesday, June 21. A total of about 50 classic vehicles gathered for the event, sponsored by Leamington Medical Supplies.

Chris Chown of Victoria, B.C., is the editor of the Rumbles Newsletter for the Early Ford V8 Club Regional Group #109 on Vancouver Island. This club is devoted to the preservation and restoration of all Ford, Mercury, Meteor, Monarch, and Lincoln cars equipped with Henry Ford’s legendary flathead V8 engine from 1932 to 1954.

Chris is the proud owner of a 1947 Ford Tudor Deluxe built at the Ford assembly plant on Kingsway Avenue in Burnaby, B.C., right next door to Vancouver. The serial number on Chris’s car contains the letter “V” for Vancouver. Cars built in the Ford plant in Windsor at that time had the letter “H” in their serial numbers signifying the home plant of Ford of Canada.

I emailed Chris to request information on his car: “Hi Bill. I purchased my ’47 Ford from Don McPherson in 2016. The car was residing in Parksville, B.C., when I got it. The condition at time of purchase was excellent with an off-frame rebuild completed several years earlier.

“The work done since buying the car includes replacing the oil pan from a ’51 Mercury truck to a ’51 Mercury passenger vehicle pan.

This was done to lower the front end and solve a bumping issue between the drag link and the oil pan. It also improved the rake so appearance is 1947 Ford Deluxe now 70 years old but looking brand new! closer to original.

“I replaced the distributor with an upgraded version and rebuilt the Stromberg ‘94’ carb. I replaced all wheel cylinders and master cylinder. I replaced the chrome reverse rims with standard steel Ford rims. I also changed the tires to original profile G78s with wide whitewalls. I sandblasted the rims and then applied epoxy primer and sprayed them with a metallic burgundy paint. The final dress for wheels includes beauty rings, custom chrome valve caps, and reproduction chrome Ford hubcaps. Looks much better in my opinion.

“Work soon starts on replacing the 3-speed standard column shift transmission with a T5 out of a Chevy S10 truck. This is a pretty big job but when done, the ’47 will have 5 forward gears that are all synchromesh. The shift will be on the floor and the shifter is custom with the knob being from a dirt bike motorcycle.

“I want to express appreciation to Fraser Kaye and the other members of the EFV8 Club who helped me with all the work on my ’47. Fraser in particular has been instrumental in navigating me through some very difficult procedures.

“I look forward to hitting the road this spring for months of fun driving on my own and with the EFV8 Club. Car shows and road tours top the list!”

Classics return to SPH

By Bryan Jessop Instead of Sun Parlor Home residents heading out to take part in the latest activity, the latest activity has again come to them.

Residents of the Talbot Street East retirement home, members of their families, SPH staff and local auto enthusiasts celebrated the first day of summer with the third annual Cruise Down Memory Lane car show, an admission-free gathering that for this year, was greeted by ideal weather conditions. A sum of about 50 classic and custom cars and trucks converged on the SPH parking lots, bringing their owners from across the Kingsville-LeamingtonWheatley corridor as well as Dresden, LaSalle, Harrow, McGregor, Chatham and other surrounding communities.

The show was again organized by Dave and Michelle Taves, Joe and Lisa Sabelli and Sun Parlor Homes’ volunteer coordinator Bev Chambers and life enrichment aide Lucy Incitti.

The group was assisted in the show’s organization by about a dozen SPH volunteers and a small team of others who also pitched in to prepare for and help operate the gathering.

“I think it’s great — the residents are loving it,” said Incitti, who approached Dave and Michelle Taves with the idea for an on-site car show before its inaugural rendition in 2015.

“Everyone’s done a wonderful job. When they (the residents) come out to see the cars, the looks on their faces is worth every minute.”

Each year’s Cruise Down Memory Lane is held with SPH residents in mind, said Michelle, who explained that she and Dave began fielding inquiries about this year’s show as early as March.

“This show isn’t about money, it isn’t about prizes and it’s not about trophies — it’s about smiles,” she noted. “It’s really a group effort.”

Classic vehicle owners attending this year’s show were treated to hot dogs, burgers or sau-

Live music was provided by Leamington’s own Phil Charette through the afternoon, which was free of the heavy rainfall that marred last year’s Cruise Down Memory Lane event. Last year’s show attracted just over 30 classic vehicle owners. Owners of this year’s vehicles were also treated to goodie bags, sponsored by Leamington Medical Supplies.

Dave Taves explained that he and fellow organizers make efforts every year to attract a balance of vehicles to ensure that the majority can be parked on pavement, ensuring that residents with limited mobility can access the lineups of classics for an up-close view.

“We want this to be something that everyone can enjoy,” he said. “It’s about appreciation for the Home and the people living there.”
