Leamington streets should be a little safer after 11 taxi cabs were taken off the road last week during a joint safety blitz.

On Friday, May 23 the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), supported by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Leamington By-law enforcement officer, conducted a traffic safety blitz targeting taxi cabs in Leamington.

A total of 18 taxi cabs were inspected and 11 were removed from the road for various vehicle defects. Of the 18 taxi cabs, 17 were found to have some sort of problem that required repairs. Several charges were laid in relation to unsafe vehicles. Leamington has five taxi cab companies – Leamington Taxi, Nader’s Taxi, Sun Parlor Cabs, Yellow Taxi and Elite Taxi.

“Our officers pulled over cabs and sent them to the MTO testing site that was set up at the Canadian Tire parking lot,” confirmed OPP Constable Stephanie Moniz.

The vehicles will be allowed to return to the road, once all the necessary repairs have been completed.

“It’s all about keeping our public safe. When you call a cab, you assume it’s a safe vehicle. Our aim is to make sure it is a safe ride,” said Const. Moniz.

Brian Sweet, Director of Corporate Services with the Municipality of Leamington, said there were only a couple of minor infractions in relation to by-law enforcement. “No charges were laid from us. What we spotted were not safety issues, just small things that we’ll follow up on like not displaying the proper taxi plate,” said Sweet of the municipality’s involvement.

The Municipality of Leamington has announced the annual Leamington Clean Up Challenge will take place in June.

Leamington businesses, schools, service clubs or other community organizations are encouraged to recruit a Clean Up Champion and select a park, trail or neighbourhood street to clean up during the month of June. WFS Ltd. has generously donated garbage bags and cotton-style gloves for volunteers. Each registered group will receive a Clean Up Challenge kit that includes up to 10 garbage bags and gloves.

Organizations must register their date and time, and location of the clean up by calling the Community Services Office at 519-3222337. There are numerous locations throughout Leamington and groups can register for any date or time that is convenient for them.

“We are hoping that everyone in Leamington will team up to clean up litter and garbage in the parks, trails and streets as a way to show your pride in your hometown,” said Greg Rice, chair of the Tidiness Efforts Committee which is part of the Communities in Bloom – Leamington Committee. “The Clean Up Challenge will happen all month long, so there is lots of time to get involved.”

A clean community will also assist with the municipalitiy’s Communities in Bloom efforts. To find out more about the Communities in Bloom – Leamington Committee, call co-chair Charlie Wright at 519-324-5412 or co-chair Ken Clark at 519-325-0769.

Queen Elizabeth School wins “Pat on the Back” for environmental projects accomplished by having our Eco Club,” stated Leng in his written presentation to the Windsor Essex County Environmental Committee.

“They had an excellent presentation. Probably the best one there and they only asked for $180, instead of the $500,” said Charlie Wright, Leamington’s deputy-mayor and a member of the Windsor Essex County Environmental Committee. “I was very proud of them. They are the first group from LEamington to win the ward,” said Wright. Because the Queen Elizabeth Eco Club only asked for $180 (and received $200), the Committee was able to award the remaining $300 for another project.

The Queen Elizabeth Eco Club has between 80 and 100 members, from a school of 500 students, which equates to almost one-fifth of the student body. There are about half a

dozen teachers who volunteer their spare time to help the group. Teacher overseeing the group is Paul Foreman. The club meets every Tuesday after school, from 3 to 4 p.m.

“I was thrilled to hear we won. I’m very proud of my students,” said Queen Elizabeth principal Helen Dean.

The club is very busy with many environmental projects, including collecting shiny wrappers for recycling, building a greenhouse, community gardens, planters, birdhouses, a butterfly garden, and planting many trees.

The totem pole will be purchased and sent to Leamington District Secondary School for carving and placed in the school’s outdoor classroom. LDSS students will be carving the Queen Elizabeth Knights shield, a trillium, a Canadian flag, the recycle logo and symbols representing the environmental projects at the school.

The Southpoint Sun - 3

Cost estimate by ERCA explodes

Back in October of 2012, Leamington Council agreed that it seemed like a good idea to have the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) provide Risk Management Official services for Leamington’s drinking water source under the new Provincial Legislation requiring it. At the time, ERCA estimated that limited work would be needed, and Leamington administration estimated that it would probably cost around $4,000 per year, which was a lot more affordable than getting a Leamington employee properly trained and dedicated to this new job.

Fast forward to the latest estimate from ERCA and the picture has changed dramatically. ERCA now estimates that the cost to Leamington would probably be in the range of $30,000 per year, and both Municipal Council and Leamington administration have some misgivings about the proposal. To have an idea about why the huge change, and to be fair to ERCA, we have to go back to what has changed. It has been a lot.

The Clean Water Act sets out to prevent contaminants from ever getting into sources of drinking water — it dates back to the Walkerton drinking water catastrophe.

To that end, Conservation Authorities across Ontario each have the responsibility to set up a Source Protection Committee for their watershed. The committee starts

by making an Assessment Report and Source Protection Plan that identifies existing risks and actions to be taken to protect sources of drinking water. The Minister approves the plan, and implementation follows.

That is where Leamington is now: waiting for final approval and implementation, both anticipated this summer.

Implementation requires municipalities with “Significant Drinking Water Threats” to have “Risk Management Officials” and “Risk Management Inspectors” working out of a “Risk Management Office” to perform the “Risk Management Services” the Act identifies. In short, Leamington is required to have what amounts to ‘water police’ who have the authority to force any activity that could pollute local drinking water to stop.

Regulation 287/07 identifies 21 source water threats that must be studied to identify the policies and prohibitions that may be required to protect sources of water.

The Risk Management Official must ensure implementation by issuing notices for restricted land use, issuing orders requiring owners to permit access to their land, attending Environmental Review Tribunal hearings and myriad other jobs that ensure public awareness and public accountability.

The Risk Management Inspectors actually carry out

before agreeing to any agreement.

Councillor Hilda MacDonald referred to the price change as a “blatant cash grab” and was quite angry about the entire situation.

Councillor Rick Atkin was disturbed that not all of the background information and dialogue with stakeholders has happened before the proposal from the Authority came to Leamington. He is convinced that this is blatant downloading

the inspections ensuring compliance, issuing compliance orders, prosecuting offenders, and also attending Tribunal hearings.

The Risk Management Services Proposal from ERCA indicates that there are 275 Significant Drinking Water Threats in the watershed. What is surprising (and more than a bit worrisome) is that it says 114 of them are in Leamington. It is hard to credit that over 40% of the “significant” threats are in this municipality, but apparently this must be accepted as absolute. Additionally, Leamington has 50 industries, 1,105 agricultural operations and 24 commercial ventures that are impacted by the risk management legislation. Given the numbers, it is now easier to credit that the reasonable price, from ERCA’s point of view, is around $30,000.

From Leamington’s point of view, that’s an awful lot of money for a problem they simply do not have: they Union Water System has an excellent track record, and it is hard to credit that there are more than 100 significant threats to it and more than 1,000 enterprises that need monitoring.

Live with no regrets...

I was flicking through Facebook last week and came across this link. The article talks about choices that we make that determine the outcome of our lives. I guess the point is, that no matter what happens, we all have a choice in how we handle things… Here are the 10 choices that can steer your life to happiness or regret.

1. Wearing a mask to impress others. If the face you always show the world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. Because when you spend too much time concentrating on everyone else’s perception of you, or who everyone else wants you to be, you eventually forget who you really are.

2. Letting someone else create your dreams for you.

The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are; the second greatest is being happy with what you find. A big part of this is your decision to stay true to your own goals and dreams.

3. Keeping negative company. Don’t let someone who has a bad attitude give it to you. Don’t let them get to you.

4. Being selfish and egotistical. A life filled with loving deeds and good character is the best tombstone. Those who you inspired and shared your love with will remember how you made them feel long after your time has expired.

5. Avoiding change and growth. If you want to know your past look into your present conditions. If you want to know your future look into your present actions. You must let go of the old to make way for the new; the old way is gone, never to come back. If you acknowledge this right now and take steps to address it, you will position yourself for lasting success.

6. Giving up when the going gets tough. There are no

failures, just results.

Even if things don’t unfold the way you had expected, don’t be disheartened or give up. Learn what you can and move on.

SHEILA McBRAYNE

McThots

7. Trying to micromanage every little thing. Life should be touched, not strangled. Sometimes you’ve got to relax and let life happen without incessant worry and micromanagement.

8. Settling for less than you deserve. Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve.

Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand up taller than you ever were before.

Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision again. Don’t settle.

9. Endlessly waiting until tomorrow. The trouble is, you always think you have more time than you do. But one day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to work on the things you’ve always wanted to do. And at that point you either will have achieved the goals you set for yourself, or you will have a list of excuses for why you haven’t.

10. Being lazy and wishy-washy. The world doesn’t owe you anything, you owe the world something. So stop daydreaming and start doing. Develop a backbone, not a wishbone. Take full responsibility for your life – take control. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday.

Someday is now; the somebody the world needs is you.

Thoughts for today A couple of weeks ago, I was the guest speaker at the Women’s Economic Forum. It was ironic to me that I, after having had a myriad of economically stressful challenges, was doing this. Although I am learning that with mistakes come knowledge and for this I am thankful. Prior to the evening, my mother asked if I was prepared and I answered, “It’s all in my head” and she answered, “That’s an article in that sentence.”

I am a dreamer. Twenty-eight years ago, I was lucky enough to be one out of seven of my siblings to be asked to go on a bicycle trip to the Loire Valley in France with my parents. One day while biking, I went ahead alone and arrived back at our inn earlier than everyone else.

There I enjoyed lying peacefully on a stone wall, listening to Pachebel Canon and George Winston’s “Winter” tape on my walkman.

I don’t know whether it was the time alone far from home, the lovely music or the ideal atmosphere but something brought on a memorable light bulb moment for me. When I arrived home, I ended my engagement with my fiancé and became more confident with my wants and needs at that moment in my life.

Two years later, I married the same person and twenty-six years later, I’m confident that the longevity of our relationship has much to do with wanting to work at being together instead of needing to be.

Unfortunately, I have had to be reminded the hard way about wants and needs continually throughout life and try to instill that same question into my children’s heads as well. Some of our business ventures were enticing not only because of the challenge and excitement but also because of the things that the income would enable us to have. If that hope happens to backfire, your passion for what you do can as well!

Recently, I was told about a documentary entitled “I

Am”. Tom Shadyac, the creative force SHANNON behind “Ace VenMATHESON tura”, “Liar, Liar”, “The Nutty Professor” and more, was enlightened after a Lifestyles... near-death cycling BROUGHT TO YOU BY: accident. He emerged from being incapacitated to living with a new sense of purpose, rising from his closer look at a life of excess and greed.

Leaving a multi-million dollar mansion for a home in a trailer park brought contentment and his question of purpose was answered. “I Am” is an investigation of how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

“My Stuff”, another documentary, follows a young man’s search for happiness too. He takes everything – and I mean everything – he owns and puts it all in storage. He actually starts out naked at the beginning of the movie. He gives himself a year and allows himself to retrieve one item a day and his first choice is a long coat.

As he goes through the days choosing things that he finds necessary, he also finds out that many of the other items are not only unnecessary but also burdensome.

Could you do that? Try starting with one small room in your home. Empty it out and put back only the items that you deem useful in your life. De-clutter your mind and your home, because in the end “it all ends up in your head”.

Our journey is ongoing and I’d like to think that each of our quests are similar, if not the same. Let’s fast-track and get there sooner. How about today?

Of boneheads and baseball

We attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago and had a great time reminiscing with friends about some of the goofy things we used to do. We all agreed that if our kids had admitted to half of the things we did when we were their age, we’d likely not be happy about it.

But times have changed and what seemed like harmless fun back then is probably frowned upon by society today.

I was fortunate to belong to a group of buddies who were mostly hockey teammates, but also included baseball teammates and later slo-pitch teammates.

Our slo-pitch team of the day, the Bonehead Raiders, was formed at a back-yard bonfire one night when we all got talking about entering a softball tournament. It was a whim, really.

We had no idea how to play slo-pitch. Most of us had played some sort of baseball growing up and some of us were still playing actual hardball for the Leamington Junior Barons.

Buoyed by youthful enthusiasm and blind confidence, we entered the tournament and won our division. Thus the Bonehead Raiders were born.

It’s an odd name for a ball team, isn’t it?

The late Ewald Dobetsberger should get credit for

the name. No, he wasn’t the bonehead. The bonehead among us was Troy Wiper, who got that nickname years before. I don’t know why we called him Bonehead, or Boney for short, but we did.

Perhaps if Troy is reading this from the friendly confines of Pelee Island, he can recall how he got the name.

But I digress.

We had to come up with a name for our team to enter this tournament and since we were sitting around a fire at Troy’s house (actually Bette and Dwain’s house), Ewald said we should be called “Bonehead’s Raiders.”

Sounded good to the rest of us, although by the time Dennis Ouellette drew up the logo (he was the artistic one in the group) and got shirts printed, it was changed to Bonehead Raiders.

Complete with a skull and crossbones on the front of those first t-shirts, we would be known as the Boneheads for quite a long time after. We did actually have a really good team.

There were some great athletes on our team.

The sad thing is, years later, we lost both Dennis and Ewald to cancer and both at a very young age.

You never know when a bunch of friends is together in their youth, just who isn’t going to make it to grand-

parenthood.

Whenever the rest of us get together on occasion, the conversation eventually turns to one of our two lost teammates and friends. A lot of laughs ensue, because it’s just easier to deal with their absence by laughing about some of the comical things they did.

The memories come back like they happened yesterday. We honestly spent every weekend together at someone’s place or another.

I think the vast majority of the group all got married within a two-year span in the early eighties, so there were many nights spent planning stag parties and shenanigans.

Those were the days when stags were for the guys and the girls went out and celebrated in their own way. Nowadays, everyone is having buck and does, which probably were born out of frustration at the guys partying into the wee hours of the morning and getting a little carried away with the celebrations.

At my stag, which was held at the old Leamington arena, my ‘friends’ stripped me naked and pulled me around the ice, trapped between two hockey nets. That was after they locked me in a commercial sliding-door

MARK RIBBLE

Rib’s Ramblings fridge. My dad was livid, thinking I was going to get hurt, but in the end my buddies weren’t going to let anything happen to me and after they got Carl calmed down, things went well. I did have a bright red butt for a few hours.

Oh some of the things we did. Some are even publishable.

We did chain a certain someone to the light pole at the four corners of Wheatley naked on the night of his stag on a hot summer night. He managed to talk a passerby into unlocking the chains and finding his clothes.

Another teammate, who 115 Thorncliffe Park Drive shall remain nameless, Toronto Ontario M4H 1M1 drove his then-fiancee’s car 416•696•2853 around theTeltrack at Leamington Raceway late one night, pretending he was Speed Racer. It didn’t go so well. A large portion of white fence paint was visible on the vehicle afterward.

The Southpoint Sun - 5

These days, you’d likely not get away with that, with all of the social media and stuff out there.

We were a rowdy bunch, but harmless really. We had a load of laughs and that’s because we could all laugh at ourselves. Nobody took themselves too seriously. A great bunch that I’m proud to call friends.

So, this summer and last, attending weddings of children of these teammates, it was great catching up and laughing about some of the things we used to do. We must get together more of-

ten.

From harrowing boat rides to Pelee Island in sixfoot waves, to lip-synching to Endless Love and White Wedding, to dodging the infamous Stratford tornado, a visit by Mr. Dressup’s Finnegan, to countless card games and pool parties, these Boneheads have produced a lot of memories.

We also produced a whole whack of children, next generation Boneheads if you will.

We can only hope they’re a little more sensible than we were.

Local cemetery restored

By Bryan Jessop A small but important segment of local history has been improved both in terms of safety and its appearance.

Memorial Restorations Inc. of Sarnia paid a visit to Ruthven United Church Cemetery at the easternmost reaches of

Kingsville, along County Road 34 and immediately west of Albuna Town Line. Tom Klaasen and Mark Sterling began repairing monuments at the site Monday, May 26 after being contacted by Kingsville public works manager Andy Coghill. The duo was contracted to fix and stabilize 80 headstones and family monuments, but once they completed the project just over a week later, the number exceeded 100.

Klaasen and Sterling didn’t have to think twice about doing more than 20 per cent of their labour free of charge.

“There’s a lot of history here,” explained Klaasen, who has been Memorial Restoration’s second owner for more than 20 years and in the business for about 25. “We could probably spend the entire summer working here. How can we just stop after 80 when we know there’s more that needs attention?”

In many instances, headstones that were once anchored into foundations called “keys” with iron-based rope have worked their way loose and fallen to the ground. Several years later, many of them have become partially, mostly or completely covered by soil and grass. Discovering fallen and completely concealed headstones has become commonplace for Klaasen and Sterling, both within and beyond the east Kingsville site.

“We see it all the time,” said Sterling while pointing out a seemingly empty length of land spanning about 50 feet in one of the rows of stones. “There’ll be a few stones at one end and a few more at the other end with nothing visible in between. That space might look empty, but it isn’t.”

Klaasen estimated that Ruthven United Church Cemetery includes between 50 and 100 headstones that are completely hidden under dirt and grass.

“This place is an archeological gold mine,” he said. “It would be great to see a local historical group come out here.”

Memorial Restorations Inc. has been called to cemeteries located throughout Ontario as well as cenotaphs and war memorials. Klaasen has seen and found many unique fixMark Sterling of Memorial Restorations Inc. uncovers the tures in his travels, including monuments in London that fallen and soil-covered headstone of a Catherine Quick at were simply uncarved rocks or wooden boards.

Unlike many other markers its age — Quick died in 1876 — to the Ruthven United Church Cemetery also included a the stone remains in excel- unique discovery — two brick-sized and shaped stones with three intertwined links of chain carved into one side. lent condition.

“I’ve never seen anything like them,” noted Klaasen, who (SUN Photo) would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with the meaning and significance of the two stones.

Fallen and buried headstones weren’t the only problem at the cemetery nestled up against the Kingsville/Leamington border. Many of the taller, freestanding monuments are unstable and could easily topple or collapse. With the effects of freeze and thaw cycles combined with aging, crumbling sealants between parts, the sections of these towering structures have been kept in place by OFF gravity alone.

On Regular Priced “You could knock some of them over by sneezing on them,” Sterling said. “It could be as simple as someone walking through here June 4 - June 15 leaning on one of them and down it goes.”

Some of the large, narrow monuments — easily ® ® exceeding six feet in height — have been leaning at dan® ® gerous angles because of deteriorating ground conditions below. Some were built without foundations.

Local cemetery restored

(Continued from Page 6) sites. Their services also include statue repair and cleaning, creating new foundations, landscape studies and specialty maintenance.

Before taking on a project, the business provides free audits of the work required, determining which structures are safe or unsafe.

Memorial Restorations Inc., founded in 1982, is no stranger to Essex County. Klaasen has previously worked on Greenhill Cemetery in Kingsville as well as another in Comber. He is also scheduled to work on one of the Olinda Side Road cemeteries and could return to the area for work on Kingsville’s Baptist Cemetery.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to find stones dating back to the 1700s there,” Klaasen said of the secluded Baptist Cemetery. “It could be the oldest cemetery I’ve ever seen.”

Memorial Restorations has also restored cemeteries in Cambridge, London, Barrie, Hamilton and a war memorial in Galt. Klaasen and Sterling uncover and repair thousands of stones per year, some dated as far back as the early 1800s.

The inscriptions on many are no longer legible because of erosion caused by weather. In many cases, stones that have fallen and been covered by dirt are still easy to read once they are cleaned up — the soil they are submerged in frequently protects the names and dates from erosion.

The ability to return fallen stones into upright positions depends on whether or not their keys can be found — many keys have been removed or passers by have relocated the stones away from their bases thinking they are returning them to their original positions. Klaasen’s business has been given the approval by the Town of Kingsville to create new keys for some of the sturdier headstones that have been discovered. Some of the stones being dug up reveal death dates reaching back as far as the 1860s. One for a Mary Noble Joseph shows the year of passing as 1866 — one year prior to Canadian confederation.

Klaasen explained that repositioning fallen stones is important from a genealogical perspective, allowing descendants of those buried to find their ancestors’ final resting places.

“A lot of records don’t have a detailed map of exactly where a specific person is buried,” he noted. “Someone might be able to view records and find the right cemetery of an ancestor, but then go there and never find the gravesite.”

Some stones that have fallen and broken into multiple pieces can be repaired with a lime mortar kit and pinning with stainless steel rods, as long as they are the right kind of stone. Using cement to rejoin broken pieces will only further eat away at the markers.

“We want it to be possible for our work to be reversible,” Klaasen explained.

Among the better-preserved and more legible stones discovered include those of a John Stockwell, who passed away in 1880 and Catharine Quick — wife of C.M. Quick — who died at the age of 38 in 1876.

Even the religious inscription atop the Quick stone — “He that endureth the cross shall receive a crown” — can still be read.

Klaasen explained that many of the stones at the Ruthven-area cemetery are not indigenous to North America. Large slabs of white stone, he noted, once sat deep in the hulls of shipping vessels as ballast (counterweights).

When these ships were damaged and beyond repair, as much material aboard as possible was salvaged. www.cfkcanada.org

Pig roast fund raiser for 4-H The Essex County 4-H is looking to raise about $7,000 to help offset the costs for their members.

Kelli and Rob Kirkpatrick have organized a fundraising pig roast to be held on Friday, June 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Harrow Fair Board building. “The costs keep going up and we want to make sure that those who want to be in 4-H can be in 4-H,” said Kelli. All monies raised will be divided equally to offset everyone’s fee. Membership registration for 4-H is currently $75 for the year. “It used to be $50, then $65, then $70; it just keeps going up,” she said.

Essex County has approximately a dozen 4-H clubs with more than 100 members across the county. Clubs include: livestock – beef, sheep, poultry, dairy, swine and lifestyles – canning, baking, knitting, quilting and crocheting. There is also a Clover Bubs club for sixyear-olds to introduce them to 4-H. The 4-H clubs are unisex and members span from six years old to 21 years old. Tickets are available by calling Kelli at 519-564-3725.

Cam McKay, the recently retired Public Works foreman for the Municipality of Leamington, was honoured on Wednesday, May 21 with a tree planting and plaque at the Leamington Marina Park.

School-Based Child Care Program of Kingsville, Inc.

Pump-out service extended at marina The Leamington Marina currently has a complementary pump-out available to seasonal boaters through the week.

Marina administration wants to extend this service to Sundays as well, so that not only will boaters all be offered a free pump-out with any fuel fill up, but also all seasonal, monthly and charter boats will receive complementary pump-out service Sunday through Thursday.

Before the Monday, June 2 meeting got into the staff reports, Councillor John Jacobs declared a financial interest in this report, and did not participate or vote on the matter. He was aware that the laws of conflict of interest require this since he is a boat owner who rents a space at the marina: regardless of whether he would benefit or lose he does not play a role in the decision.

Councillor Rick Atkin suggested that a sign be erected by the pump-out station to remind boaters that this is a complementary program.

There were no objections from Council, and the matter was carried.

Leamington students began knitting caps in November of last year and will continue to do so on their own time until the school year ends later this month. Family studies teacher Orlena Rossi noted that the program will pick up where it left off at LDSS in September.

With about 300 births at LDMH per year, some of the hats knitted by LDSS students will be sent to NICU departments in Windsor. In the meantime, the school continues to accept yarn donations to make the ongoing

project possible. Local individuals or groups wishing to donate to the cause can made drop offs at the school (125 Talbot St. West).

The Leamington school’s involvement in the program is in part made possible with funding from United Way’s Think Act Global and a Students Taking Action grant. Educational assistant Danica Hobbs noted that the family studies class reached out to the school’s S.T.E.P.S. program students, who also knitted some of the hats.

LDSS class donates 1,000 baby hats

Relax in a Friendly Environment E E

By Bryan Jessop A Leamington District Secondary School family studies class has done more than its share to keep local newborns warm and cozy.

The Grade 11/12 class of about 25 students knitted 1,041 hats for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) babies and on Wednesday, May 28 walked from LDSS to Leamington District Memorial Hospital to present the donation to LDMH Foundation executive director of development Ross Barnwell. Barnwell was impressed by the massive contribution, explaining that the thoughtful gesture will be remembered by many parents for years to come.

“A lot of parents keep these hats for many, many years after their children are born,” he explained.

The caps were knitted in conjunction with LeeLee Hats, a program launched by co-founders Tracy Summerfield and her sister Kimberly in 2010. Summerfield attended the presentation at the LDMH cafeteria, where she expressed sentiments of gratitude toward support from the local high school students.

“This is our ultimate goal in the community — influencing others to continue on with the project,” Summerfield explained. “This project is so much more than just making a baby hat.”

The program began with Summerfield helping Kimberly make newborn caps for their hometown Windsor hospitals. The name LeeLee derives from the names Kimberly and her daughter, Emily. The group is represented by knitting clubs based in Essex Coun-

ty libraries, high schools, service groups and several silent partners. With the donation from LDSS, the combined number of knitted hats reached 36,000. Summerfield has washed every one of them in her home’s washing machine after they

are completed by the organization’s 1,140 volunteers.

The yarn needed for the hats is donated by individuals and groups from across the county. The program reaches out to Windsor, Leamington, Chatham, Sarnia, London, Timmins and

Moose Factory as well as hospitals in metro Detroit with the free caps.

Summerfield described the LDSS contributions — made under the moniker “LeeLee Lions” — as the program’s most successful high school endeavor. The

Local artist Harold Burton puts some of the finishing touches on one of his Freddy Farmer paintings to be used in the second book featuring the young character of the same name. Burton also provided the art for the first book — simply dubbed “Freddy Farmer” — written by Leamington author Brian Sweet. Freddy Farmer was released last month, published independently by Sweet and Burton.

Local duo releases children’s book

By Bryan Jessop An artist and an author both of Leamington have teamed up to release their first — but not likely their last — co-created children’s book.

Author Brian Sweet and artist Harold Burton recently released “Freddy Farmer,” the story about a young farm boy called upon to rescue a group of livestock that finds itself stuck in a mud-bottomed pond. Sweet, the municipality of Leamington’s director of corporate services, was approached by Burton about a year ago with the idea of creating a children’s book together.

Burton, an active artist well-known for his sketches, drawings and paintings created over the past several decades, moved to Leamington from Roseland (Windsor) about 11 years ago. Since then, he has worked out of his Talbot Street West studio, where he also teaches painting classes. Burton actually created Freddy Farmer in 1972 and after more than 40 years, began discussing with Sweet the idea of putting him in the pages of a book for the first time. The former Windsor native showed Sweet some older paintings of Freddy after he heard that the municipal employee wrote children’s books. Sweet expressed an interest in writing a story based on Freddy Farmer and the two went to work on the first book shortly thereafter.

Sweet and Burton self-published the book, which includes 19 full-page illustrations and smaller, decorative paintings framing the large-type words of adjacent text pages. The duo first ordered 100 total copies from Kitchener-based Nickelwood Press (Volumes Publishing Ltd.), which were quick to sell.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Local artist Harold Burton provided the art for the recently released children’s book “Freddy Farmer.” The book was illustrated by Burton and written by Leamington author Brian Sweet.

Burton has nearly completed the artwork for the second book in the Freddy Farmer series.

“It’s been doing pretty good so far,” Burton noted.

From there, Burton and Sweet ordered about 100 more — which are now is short supply as well. As of last week, they ordered approximately 100 more, bringing the printed total to about 300. The book can be ordered online at www.volumesdirect.com and are being sold at $10 each at Setterington Gift Store (519-325-0226) at 13 Russell St., Leamington. Copies are also available at Harold Burton Gallery at 138 Talbot St. West.

Burton spent an average of one week per full-page illustration on the book while communicating back and fourth with Sweet on how the book should progress. The two creators continue to meet and discuss the direction of the second book — yet to be titled — which Sweet has written except for a few ongoing changes.

“It works out pretty well,” Burton explained. “It’s a fun thing for me to do. I like painting anything and everything. I’ll keep painting until I can’t do it anymore.”

Burton explained that the biggest challenges associated with releasing the book were with printing. He and Sweet tried working with a different printer before Nickelwood, who scanned each painting before printing — a process that the duo discovered to work well.

His most recent Freddy paintings are the first works intended for a book in several years.

Burton’s work included painting signs, advertisments and murals for Windsor Raceway and he was an editorial cartoonist with the Leamington Post. Several years ago, he painted signs for the City of Windsor and did work for the companies Acme Neon and Ad Signs.

He has also been hired to draw an estimated 1,000 black and white sketches of houses for individual clients.

Burton’s daughter Katherine Burton is also an avid artist and through her business Artworks, teaches children different painting and drawing techniques.

“She’s really good as a painter and a teacher,” Harold said. “The kids love her.”

Local firefighters give warm welcome to Chicago’s Ignite the Spirit cyclists The Leamington and Kingsville firefighters worked to provide a warm welcome for the Ignite the Spirit and 41 and 9 Foundation of Chicago Fire Department on Thursday, May 29. The firefighters are riding their bikes from Chicago to Boston to raise funds for leukaemia and fallen firefighters’ families. This was their first ride through Canada and they stopped here because of the friendships they have made with the local firefighters. The riders said that they hadn’t received a welcome along their way this year that compared to the one they got in Leamington. A social event was held at the Seacliff Inn afterwards to raise more funds for them.

Help us celebrate our first year in our new office!

On December 2, 2011, six-year-old Dylan Rudge was at hockey practice and fell doing a drill. He came off the ice and was complaining of stomach pain, but his parents, Sherry (Wright) and Tim Rudge, were unsure of what really happened. At first they thought he just lost his wind for a minute, but they let him stay off anyway.

The next morning Dylan was complaining that he still really hurt, so Sherry took him to a clinic. The clinic doctor wasn’t sure what was wrong and said they couldn’t do x-rays till Monday to see if maybe he hurt his ribs. The doctor sent them on their way and said that if Dylan got worse to bring him back the next day.

The following morning Dylan was in even more pain.

Alarmed, Sherry took him back to the clinic. There was a different doctor on duty and as soon as he came into the room and took a look at Dylan he became very concerned because his stomach looked swollen. The doctor ordered an ambulance and had Dylan rushed to the hospital in Windsor as he thought that maybe the youngster had ruptured his spleen.

Tim met his wife Sherry and son Dylan at the hospital where doctors did all kinds of tests, ultrasounds and x-rays, and then they finally took Sherry and Tim into a private room to talk to them. The doctor told the couple that testing had revealed a tumour on Dylan’s kidney and that their son would be rushed right away that day to the Children’s Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre.

Once in London the six-year-old endured more testing, and the results of the tests showed that Dylan needed to have his kidney removed. Dylan was put on the emergency list because the tumour had ruptured and was seeping into

Sherry (Wright), Dylan, Tim and Trent Rudge.

his stomach, which was causing him so much pain. This is when doctors informed Sherry and Tim that Dylan had a form of childhood cancer, a Wilms’ tumour, which is most common in children ages 2-6 (with Dylan being 6, he was at the older age of the spectrum). They were also told that if a child is going to get cancer that this type is one of the most curable.

Four days after the ordeal began – on December 6, 2011 – Dylan underwent surgery to have his kidney removed, and within two days of that he began radiation and chemotherapy. He did seven days of radiation and six months of chemo (which was way less than many people the young family met).

On May 30, 2012 Dylan finished all his treatments. “It was such a great feeling to be done everything and only have follow-up appointments every 3 months,” said Sherry.

“At the 1-year mark after treatment the doctor was pretty confident that all was good since everything on the tests were clear. So we have a clean bill of health with 3-month checkups that are worth it to make sure he stays healthy.

And now, about 2 years from the end of treatments, he has put all his weight back on and is a very healthy 8½-year-old boy who loves to play with his friends, play sports and just enjoys life. People who didn’t know us before would never guess he was sick except for the scar from his surgery and where the port was put in and taken out.”

This year the Rudge and Wright relatives and friends will be joining the Relay for Life on June 20. As a prelude to the event, on Friday, June 6 the Relay for Life team, Dylan’s Defence, is hosting a fundraiser from 8:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. at the Car Barn (Sports Palace) in Wheatley.

MOSAIC: A Celebration of Culture South Essex Community Council (SECC) is working together with several partners, restaurants and clubs to coordinate a multicultural festival that celebrates Leamington’s diversity.

MOSAIC, A Celebration of Culture, will be taking place on July 25-26, 2014, in conjunction with the Leamington Sidewalk Sale. So far, nine local restaurants have agreed to participate in MOSAIC on July 25 during the Sidewalk Sale. They will be offering a variety of sample plates, appetizers and entrees ranging in price from $3 to $8. Maps will be made available to individuals and families attending the Leamington Sidewalk Sale and MOSAIC so that they know which restaurants are participating, and all participating restaurants will have the MOSAIC logo in their windows.

In addition, a tent will be set up in the Uptown Core to sell coffee and desserts. Tables and chairs will also be set up to provide a gathering place for everyone visiting the Sidewalk Sale and MOSAIC. People will be able to enjoy a wide range of entertainment taking place uptown as well.

“The Uptown Leamington BIA is proud to announce the partnership with MOSAIC for this year’s sidewalk sale taking place Friday, July 25th and Saturday, July 26th,” said Amy Allan-Ingratta, BIA board member. “We are excited to join forces with the MOSAIC Culture Festival and share in the culinary specialties from various ethnicities we celebrate in our community.”

On July 26, MOSAIC will move out of the Uptown Core and into the various clubs in Leamington. Each club will host activities on its premises, consisting of food and cultural arts and entertainment. Along with the map of participating restaurants, a program will be made available for July 26 so that individuals and families can plan their cultural tour according to the events taking place at each club. Villages will be hosted by the Leamington Portuguese Club, the Leamington Lebanese Club, the Rhine Danube Club and the Roma Club. The Caldwell First Nations will be hosting a powwow in their centre located on Princess Street that day as well.

“MOSAIC gives us an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of Leamington and the surrounding area, to learn about other cultures and start building bridges,” says Carolyn Warkentin, Executive Director, South Essex Community Council. “It’s about building community. We are very pleased that so many individuals and groups have expressed an interest in being involved and we are excited to expand this festival in future years.”

Council declines partnership with GECDSB The Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) met with Leamington’s CAO Bill Marck and Director of Community Services Rob Sharon to see if “there were any partnerships/synergies between the GECDSB and the Municipality to use those lands/ facilities at the existing high school on Talbot Street West.”

According to the report, “The GECDSB is considering utilizing the existing track and field at the high school on Talbot Street West for its main game field/major events facility.”

Since the municipality already has an agreement with the Catholic District School Board to use the facilities at Cardinal Carter School, such an agreement would be duplication of an agreement that costs the municipality nothing, so the administrative report declined a partnership with thanks.

In agreement with the administration, Council voted to not form a partnership.

The developer of the new Southwinds subdivision east of the east side arterial road has applied for permission to amend the development agreement he has with the municipality to alter the style and number of homes to adjust for market demands. Instead of building exclusively townhouse units in an area of phase one, he wants to build a combination of townhouse units and semi-detached homes totalling three less than originally permitted in the agreement. The administrative report to Council on June 2 advises that this change is acceptable from a planning perspective.

In a separate report, administration also advocates amending the part-lot control of Summerville Avenue (where these dwellings are proposed to be built) to accommodate the change in layout. This approval will be extended two years to allow the construction of the units prior to the lot lines being registered.

Municipal Council found no problems with either report and passed both without discussion.

Greenhouse expansion approval Site Plan Control Approval is being sought by Grace Family Farms for their proposed greenhouse expansion.

They want to add three acres of greenhouses as phase four of their farm development.

The previous phases were all done to the satisfaction of the municipality.

As it says in the administrative report to Council: “The site plan received May 1, 2014, prepared by N. J. Peralta Engineering Ltd. meets all provisions of the Municipality of Leamington Zoning By-law No. 890-09 and is being recommended by staff.”

Municipal Council passed the recommendation without comment.

Spring Sprint a success

By Bryan Jessop A sunny Saturday stirred sweet success for the South Shore Spring Sprint.

The first annual fundraiser of its kind for the South Shore Christian School on Bevel Line was greeted by an impressive showing of support from individual participants and community partners alike, as $13,000 was raised to help offset typical operating costs. More than 60 sponsors offered everything from food and beverages for runners and walkers to door prizes to financial contributions. The remainder of funds were generated by registration fees for the 128 five-kilometre runners and walkers and the roughly 50 youths 12 and under who also took part.

“Praise the Lord for the beautiful weather we had,” said SSSS chairperson and South Shore Christian School board member Sharon Arthurs Pepper. “It’s a great turnout for the first year. There’s been lots of good food and the location is fantastic. I’m very happy with how it’s turned out.”

The first South Shore Spring Sprint was hosted by the Leamington Municipal Marina, beginning with the 1km kids’ sprint that took less than two-and-a-half minutes to determine a winner. All youths participating in the dash, held on the north walkway along the north end of the docking area, received a medal.

The SSSS served as one of this year’s W.R.A.C.E. (Walkers and Runners Around the County of Essex) competitions, with prizes awarded to the top two finishers in each age/ gender category for the 5km walkers and runners. After the race — which utilized the same basic route as the Leamington Tomatoman Triathlon’s running segment — winners were announced. Most participants hailed from Leamington, Kingsville, Wheatley and other Essex County communities including Staples, LaSalle, Windsor, Cottam and Essex. Bradley Reiter of Leamington was first overall among runners with a time of 17:17.6 while Leamington’s Kristie Kniaziew took top overall female honours and third overall with a time of 18:51.1. Jenna Murray of Leamington was first in the walkers group with a time of 41:55.5.

scenes and pre-race duties as well as marshaling during the competition. Sponsors came from across the Essex County and Wheatley areas, helping organizers to offset costs and help fund school year expenses and therefore keep tuition fees as low as possible.

“That’s what we were aiming for,” said Pepper. “Tuition and fundraisers are our sources of revenue. We reached out to the community and it responded with open arms. It’s important for the school to make this kind of money in order to survive. The donations that businesses came to us with were phenominal — we couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

The second annual SSSS has already been booked with W.R.A.C.E. for May 30 of next year. The location for the second annual event has not yet been reserved, but Pepper is hoping it will again be the Leamington Marina.

“It’s just a fantastic location,” she explained.

For the 2013-14 school year, South Shore Christian School included 75 students and eight teachers.

The first two finishers of the South Shore Spring Sprint kids’ 1km run approach the finish line Saturday, May 31.

Essex County and Windsor has a long history of pipe bands. Many of the pipers in the area and most of the pipers in the Sun Parlour Pipes and Drums can trace their learning of the pipes back to the teaching of Pipe Major Jock Copeland of the Essex Scottish Regiment. It was with the Essex Scottish Regiment that some members’ fathers, uncles and family members served during World War Two, which was a major influence on the formation and history of the SPP&D. Most of the members of the SPP&D are also volunteer members of the Essex and Kent Scottish Pipe Band, performing the duty of parading the troops for their functions and ceremonies.

In 2012, the band travelled to France, Belgium and Holland to commemorate the battles of the Essex IN MEMORIAM Scottish at Dieppe and the liberation of Holland. They In Memory of also toured and played at the Vimy Memorial.

Growing pansies

BILL PLUMB

The Southpoint Sun - 19

ElderCollege shows appreciation to volunteers

One of the most popular bedding plants are pansies, even more so than geraniums, begonias and petunias.

Pansies will grow best in well drained and fertile In the soil. As temperatures rise in the spring, pansies will back yard... continue to flower; however, as it becomes warmer they start to grow soft, stretching and looking a bit BROUGHT Peanut Centre TO YOU BY: weedy. Trim the entire plant in half and wait until fall N U R S E R Y for recovery, or replace the entire plant with a more heat tolerant annual.

Pansies that are subject to the stress of summer heat are less likely to survive. In most cases, remove and replace in late summer for best results.

In mild winter regions, pansies are planted in the fall and normally will continue to bloom most of the winter. Today most garden centres promote this plant as “ice pansies”. Unfortunately, with the winter we just experienced, many plants did not survive.

Pansies are a great mixture with the spring blooming bulbs such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. Another annual that will grow alongside pansies in colder temperatures are ornamental cabbage and kale.

In the fall, most blooming perennials are tall and pansies are perfect for bottom filler color. Try planting fall mums and orange or yellow pansies together. This will continue the fall colours long after the mums have stopped blooming.

In this area pansies can be planted before any other bedding plant. Seeds at garden centres are planted in the fall and kept in cold frame greenhouses that freeze all winter, allowing the plant to harden. Pansies will give you the best value for your garden. www.bptreemarketing.com

By Lloyd Brown-John Canterbury ElderCollege held a lovely Volunteer Appreciation event at Pelee Island Winery on Wednesday, May 28. Approximately 100 volunteers and friends turned out for this special recognition of the many people who volunteer their time and knowledge to offer courses for ElderCollege.

Prominent among those in attendance were mayors John Paterson of Leamington, Nelson Santos of Kingsville and Tom Bain, County Warden and Mayor of Lakeshore. Also in attendance was Janet Woodbridge, CEO of the Essex County Library, Windsor lawyer Bruck Easton, Chair of Canterbury College’s Board of Directors, Dr.

Gordon Drake, Principal of Canterbury College, and an array of notable community volunteers from Leamington, Kingsville, Windsor and Chatham-Kent.

ElderCollege has now completed its Spring 2014 semester in which 98 courses were offered to those over age 55 throughout Windsor, Essex County and Chatham-Kent. ElderCollege courses attracted over 1,250 course registrations in locations from Tecumseh to Amherstburg to Essex and even Blenheim.

Leamington Mayor John Paterson spoke highly of ElderCollege’s contribution to the lifestyles of the region’s seniors. He recalled the first course in which he and the entire Leamington Council participated on the operation of the Municipality of Leamington. Mayor Paterson also complimented

ElderCollege for bringing opportunities to seniors to learn so many new things and, as well, to enjoy the social life associated with ElderCollege courses. He also noted the quality of fine food being offered to those in attendance at the volunteer appreciation event.

Pelee Island Winery has been a partner of ElderCollege since the idea was launched in the Spring of 2011. Leamington Arts Centre, Chartwell’s Leamington Court Retirement Residence and the Essex County Library system all have been supporting partners with ElderCollege.

ElderCollege is now developing courses for the Autumn Semester 2014 and it is anticipated that many more interesting and enjoyable short courses will be available in Leamington and Kingsville.

Stay Tuned

Stay Tuned at Two Creeks On Sunday, June 8, Two Creeks Conservation Area will present Stay Tuned, an exciting concert to attend for those who prize gifted and skilled musicians, especially playing bluegrass.

The Stay Tuned band quietly emerged about three years ago, when members of various bands got together to play a little bluegrass — just with, and for, each other.

Two years ago, Norm Rivard, who just happens to be the hottest banjo player that you will find anywhere, came “out of the woodwork” after a 15 year absence. A fantastic guitar player, Norm Quesnel, joined the band two months ago. You won’t find a better “picker”.

No doubt, the best fiddle player in this part of Canada is Ryan St. Denis. He’s been a member of the band for 18 months and has quickly turned Stay Tuned into the best “hard driven” bluegrass band in this area. On mandolin, singing lead and harmony, along with being a multi-talented instrumental musician, is Clairmont Ward. Rounding out the band, playing bass is Richard Wigfield who sings barritone, lead and tenor along with handling the M.C. work.

This band has become known for their tight harmonies and great musicianship. They are guaranteed to entertain the “heck out of you”.

The Summer Concert Series begin at 6:30 p.m. at Two Creeks Conservation Area, just north of Wheatley. Admission is free. The hat is passed for donations to help pay for the performers and maintain the conservation area.

1939 Ford Standard coach at swap meet in Ancaster, ON. Note the black-and-white 1939 Ontario license plate 51F85. These are legal in Ontario under the YOM (Year of Manufacture) legislation.

Dad mortgaged farm to buy Windsor-built 1939 Ford An email arrived from Jim Houston of Almonte, Ontario: “In 1948 my father had to put a mortgage of $800 on our farm between Erin and Alton, ON, in Peel County, to buy a black 1939 Ford 2-door sedan. They certainly held their value!”

If that 1939 Ford was a Standard coach, it had a Windsor factory list price of $882 when new. Nine years later, at $800, it had lost only $82 in almost a decade. During World War Two, automobile production was halted for over three years. When it resumed in late 1945, a tremendous demand for new cars had built up. If you wanted a new car, your local dealer usually put your name on a long waiting list. And with the shortage of new cars, used cars commanded premium prices, as shown by the $800 paid by Jim Houston’s father for his 1939 Ford in 1948.

Jim continues: “I got my driver’s license on that car in May of 1951. I got my beginner’s permit, as it was called back then, and my regular license, on the same day! One morning after I had been out with the car the night before, Dad said to me: Don’t drive the car too fast because a tie rod fell off the other day on the mail route, and I tied it back on with a leather shoe lace.’ ” The late Dave Lawson of Ancaster owned the 1939 Ford Standard coach pictured here at an indoor-outdoor swap meet in Ancaster. With its red finish, cream wheels, and wide whitewalls, I could not resist taking its picture. This was the last year Ford had windshield wipers mounted in the roof. They were there for a good reason. The windshield can be cranked out from the bottom for an early form of air conditioning.

The roof-mounted radio aerial with hand crank inside for turning it up or down was a popular feature on Ford and Mercury cars up to 1948. The grille closely resembles the Deluxe grille of 1938, and the headlights on this car represent the last year before sealed beam headlights were adopted industry-wide in 1940. The floor-shift lever was in its final year, moving up to the steering column the next year.

New for 1939 were hydraulic brakes, several years after other car companies had adopted them.

Today, all body styles of the 1939 Ford are highly collectible today, whether as an original restored example or as a street rod.

Watermelon Open The 32nd annual Watermelon Open at Erie Shores Golf & Country Club held Saturday, May 24 raised over $16,000 for UMEI High School in support of Christian Education.

Over 100 golfers from Leamington, Kingsville and Essex County gathered along Lake Erie for the tournament shotgun start at 8 a.m. To add to the excitement and challenge there were awards for longest putt, longest drive, closest to the pin and low score. Tim Driedger shot a very rare hole in one on hole #5, which unfortunately was the only par 3 hole that did not offer a prize for a hole in one shot. Golfers finished off the morning of watermelon, fun and sun with lunch at the club.

but Les Canadiens are showing potential after advancing further than most (including myself) figured they would.

Anyway, I also botched up the Kings/Blackhawks series.

Chicago continued to show signs of vulnerability and mortality and unlike the Blues or Wild, the Kings were able to pounce.

So now Gary Bettman’s wildest dreams have come true — a Stanley Cup final between America’s two largest markets (and that’s exactly what they are to these stuffed shirts — they’re markets, not cities). The old East Coast vs. West Coast, L.A. sunshine vs. NYC grit rivalry begins anew. Fan loyalty will probably take on a whole new level of insincerity, as camera shots of countless bandwagoning celebrities in the stands will challenge my ability to keep my supper down like no other sporting event in history.

“So, umm, like, where’s the ball?,” some of the audience’s most famous guests will likely utter during a game.

“Oh yeah, being a Kings fan runs in my blood,” others may very well explain to a swarm of camera crews during pre-game warm-ups or intermissions. “My parents have been cheering for this team since the 1950s.”

So the stage has been set for the first L.A. vs New York title series since the Yankees and Dodgers squared off in the 1981 World Series (Los Angeles lost the first two, but stormed back to win the next four). This time around, Miami and San Antonio are the NBA finalists, so there should be no chance of L.A. media confusing the Los Angeles Kings with the Sacramento Kings — that should give you some sort of idea how much of a hockey hotbed California REALLY is.

So once again, the final features two teams that I don’t much care for.

Even more so than usual, my prediction on this one is going to be a stab in the dark. I would never have considered either of these teams as potential conference champs, let alone both of them. Yet here they are. On paper, the Kings’ defense should get the job done in what should not be a high-scoring series. Truth is, there haven’t been many highscoring games in ANY series this year, which must drive Bettman crazy.

Still, the Rangers have seen a bit of everything, having played 20 of a maximum possible 21 games to get this far.

They’ve faced their share of both talent and toughness to get this far and managed to silence Subban to an extent that neither the Lightning nor Bruins could manage. The Kings have played the full 21 games to get this far. That’s more than the NFL Super Bowl finalists play in the regular season and playoffs combined, even if they start their post-season run as a wild card team — and the Kings still have one round to go.

So could we be looking at a seven-game Cup final? Will someone other than Chicago, Boston or L.A. win it all for the first time since 2009? Sure, why not? Rangers in seven.

Music at the Marina Musical Mates – Brad and Lynn Bailey – will once again be presenting Monday Music nights at Leamington Marina starting June 9. The free musical entertainment will be from approximately 6:30-8:30 p.m. throughout the summer, weather permitting. Bring a lawn chair (and possibly insect repellent) and relax and enjoy a variety of secular and gospel music.

The last Monday Music night of the summer is tentatively slated for September 14.

Peewee Lakers get season underway

Bantam Lakers shut out Hawks, improve 7-1

Leamington Lakers Peewee travel team, sponsored by St. Michael’s Knights of Columbus Council #4501, opened the 2014 season with a lopsided loss to Riverside Majors 15-0.

The Lakers only managed one hit by Billy Friesen.

In their second try against Walker Home Site Minors the Lakers faired little better, losing 14-2. The Lakers only managed to score two runs in the last inning. Eric Tavares, Jonathan Fehr and Zack Penner hit consecutive singles to produce the runs.

On Sat. May 24 the Lakers travelled to LaSalle to take on the LaSalle Minors. Lakers gave LaSalle a lesson on how to steal bases with 36 successful in 38 attempts.

Billy Friesen led the hitting with 4 singles in 4 at bats while scoring 3 runs. Six players – Brayden Zuidema, Zack Penner, Eric Dominguez, Eric Wright, Rowan Massad and Justin Wiebe – had two hits each.

Eric Tavares pitched the first three innings for the win. Penner pitched the next two with Wright finishing up. Final score: Leamington Lakers 14, LaSalle Minors 7.

On Sun. May 25 the Lakers took on the Walker Home Site Major team. Billy Friesen pitched the first five innings, allowing 6 runs on 7 hits. Jonathan Fehr pitched the final inning with 2 strikeouts and a groundout.

Walker Home Site held Leamington off the score sheet for the first 5 innings, but in the 6th inning the Lakers erupted for 5 runs. In the top of the 7th, with the tying run in the person of Eric Wright on third base the Home Site pitcher struck out the last two Lakers batters to preserve the win. Final score: Walker Homesite Majors 6, Leamington Lakers 5.

The Leamington Howie’s Custom Coating Bantam Lakers recently split a pair of games in Sun Parlour League action, dropping a 6-2 decision to Belle River and then bouncing back with a 15-0 shutout over Walker Homesites Minor A. On Wed. May 21, at Lions Field in Belle River, the Lakers suffered their first loss of the early season losing a 6-2 contest to the Braves.

Brett Enns, Aidan Massad and Anthony Fehr led the locals with two hits

each. Branden Teichroeb, Ryan Wall, Massad and Fehr all took to the mound in the losing cause.

“We actually out hit them 11 to 9,” said coach Terry Misener, “but stranded 10 baserunners - we struggled putting our hits together tonight.”

Twice in the game the Lakers ended Belle River threats, throwing out Braves runners at home plate. The first time was in the second inning when Enns converted a relay from leftfielder Jessica Jeffery to catcher Derrick Antunes to end the inning and then in the sixth inning when centre fielder Tiechroeb threw a perfect strike to catcher R. Wall to nail the Belle River runner.

On Friday evening, May 23, Leamington posted a 15-0 shutout over the Walker Homesite Hawks Minor A. Kameron Wall started on the mound, pitching four strong innings, while Enns came on in the fifth to preserve the win.

Kameron Wall helped his cause scoring two runs and belting out a couple singles. Dawson Iles, Kyle Wall and Fehr also had two hits for the Lakers.

The Lakers put together

a pair of 16 hit performances to win two games on the weekend to improve their record to 7 wins and 1 loss in the first month of the baseball season.

On Friday evening, May 30, the Lakers beat the Essex Yellow Jackets Minors 17-3.

Branden Teichroeb led the Leamington attack scoring three runs and belting out two doubles and a single in three at-bats.

Dawson Iles, Ryan Wall, Kyle Wall and Derrick Antunes had two hits each as the Lakers combined for 16 hits in the five-inning mercy-shortened game.

K. Wall started on the mound and earned the win.

Antunes and Anthony Fehr both pitched in relief Sunday afternoon the locals played host to the LaSalle Titans Minors combining some solid hitting behind the strong pitching of James Hiebert to post an 11-1 victory.

Hiebert went the distance giving up only four hits and striking out five.

Brett Enns, Lucas Lamotte, Teichroeb, Aidan Massad and Mason Gow all chipped in with two hits each. Gow’s two hits were long run-producing doubles.

The Southpoint Sun - 25

Team A posts a hot +50 in progs golf On May 27, fifty-eight Erie Shores progs golfers enjoyed the best day of the spring on May 27 with temperatures in the 80s, dry fairways and little to no wind. All of that sure improved the scores. Ken Steingart and Richard Reive tied with the high plus at +11. Each earned $17. This is the second consecutive week that Ken Steingart posted a +11. Wayne Quinn and Kevin Shaften finished at +8, garnering $5 each.

A total of 8 skins were awarded with each skin valued at $13. The winners here include Bob Dick, Kevin Shaften, Ken Segedin, Greg Dunmore, Gary Alderson, Mike Herbert, and Ken Steingart with 2.

A couple of weeks ago the team scores were astronomical with a -70. On May 27, Team A posted a hot +50. Team members include Ken Steingart, Tom Miehl, Richard Reive, Richard Leslie, Greg Dunmore, Bill Slater, Ed Schachowskoy, Ron Koop, Bob Park, Mike Herbert, Wayne Quinn, George Turnbull, Ejaz Qureshi and Brian Plumb. Team B, who was close for quite a while, notched a +20. Team C came out even and lowly team D crawled in with a -20.

The committee is impressed with the turnout for May. The participation was an astounding 87.9%. Gary Alderson is pleased that the proggers are learning to stop climbing up ladders and trees and doing house repairs with dangerous weapons they are not familiar with. Golf has become more of a priority.

Wayne Quinn finally hit pay dirt being on the winning team and a tie with the high plus. He was eagerly anticipating a further payout for a skin on #9. The committee allowed Tom Miehl’s net 2 to cut him off despite Wayne’s protestations as to Tom’s handicap being too high. Since their handicaps are comparable, it is right and just.

Lacrosse teams hosting Cindy open house

The Sun County Crows novice and peewee lacrosse teams recently competed in the Six Nations Confederacy Tournament. Both teams did extremely well and won the third-place medal game. Congrats to the young Crows!

Do you want to learn more about this fun, fast paced game? Come out to Kingsville Arena on Saturday, June 7 for the Sun County Crows Lacrosse Open House. This will be a fun-filled day of exciting lacrosse with four games to watch and enjoy. Games are from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and again from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Cheer on the peewee and novice teams, and check out what Canada’s national sport is all about!

By Elaine Hancock Last week was perfect week for golf, lots of sunshine and very little rain. There seems to be lots of strangers playing the course these days, so let’s make sure that we welcome them.

Congratulations to Mitch Demelo (a graduate of the Junior Golf Program) for qualifying for the 2014 Jamieson Junior Golf Tour. Go Mitch, and we will keep track of you in the Windsor Star.

Monday night men’s league had their scramble last week followed by a steak dinner. The other leagues got in their games as well. Newcomer to the Thursday night mixed league, Mike Wright, won the pot of gold on #9, so that should keep him coming back for the rest of the year.

Growing If your child is interested in playing in the Junior Program, Since 1921 please sign them up as soon as possible so that we have time to get them organized and in the proper category. Program starts on July 9.

On Saturday, May 31 the course hosted the Opening Tournament. There was a skills challenge followed by a scramble.

Players putted, chipped and drove the ball for some awesome prizes. The winner of the putting contest, after everyone else was eliminated, was Wes Brouwer.

Following the putting, a mat was placed on the deck and some old pitching wedges were dug out from the basement.

Each player was given one chance to pitch a ball onto the putting green which was right in front of them, but it was amazing 239 Rd 5 Between Hwy 77 and Albuna Townline how many did not even get to it or over shot the mark.

OPEN MON - SAT 9 am - 5:30 pm The players who had the best 6 shots moved on to the next part of the challenge, which was chipping to #2 green from the same spot on the deck. The best pitcher of the ball was Tom www.simpsonorchards.ca Marshall.

Last challenge was to see who could make the longest drive by the men and then by the women. The women’s drive was won by Laura Fulmer.

The men’s challenge, however, was won by a man who by his own estimation had the longest drive EVER recorded at Talbot Trail Golf Course.

It was long and straight but because this gentleman is so modest and humble, we have decided that he would not like us to put his name in the paper.

After the tournament was over we had burgers and dogs 55 Erie St. North with coleslaw and macaroni 19 Erie St. North Leamington salad, and Greg distributed Leamington 519-322-1861 the prizes. It did not matter 519-326-3665 what your score was (thank goodness), it was by draw.

Dick caps perfect start with 3-for-3 night

SODUKU ANSWERS

By Mike Bennett South Buxton Raceway You can’t blame Joel Dick if he didn’t change the calendar in his race shop when the new month started on Sunday.

After all, he hated to see the last month come to an end.

‘Mr. May’ capped a perfect start to the 2014 season with a three-for-three night on Saturday, May 31, including his fifth straight Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modifieds feature victory at South Buxton Raceway.

“No, I’ve never had a run like this,” said Dick about his five-for-five May feature streak. “We know it’s not going to last,” the Leamington native said. “I’m just really fortunate to have a good car out here and a great crew. We just take it one race at a time, and hopefully we can keep this going,” Dick said.

Dick, who has won six straight features dating back to last September’s season championship race victory, credits his crew’s dedication for this hot start.

“Again, my guys are doing a great job here in the pits and at the shop, we’re unloading fast every week,” he said.

Dick, who won the heat and dash preliminary races earlier in the night, started in the second row and took the lead from Shrewsbury’s Jim Dale Jr. on lap three.

Belle River’s Mario Toniolo took over the second spot on lap 12 but couldn’t mount any challenge for the lead.

Leamington’s Justin Coulter, who started in the sixth row, passed Toniolo for second on the final lap. It was Toniolo’s third straight 3rd place feature finish.

Windsor’s Shawn Gillis finished 8th, Cottam’s Denis DeSerrano 9th, while Essex’s Gerald Martin, Wheatley’s Justin Mills and Windsor’s Emerson McIntyre finished in order from 11th to 13th.

Dick padded his points lead to 66 points over Toniolo, who also enjoyed a strong month with five straight top-four feature finishes.

But Dick reiterated his comments from a week ago that

the driver standings don’t mean anything.“Checkered flags do, but I’m not concerned about the points, just winning as many races as we can,” said Dick, who won 9 of a total 15 races in May. Merlin’s Steve Shaw was awarded the Tirecraft Sport Stocks feature about an hour after the race ended.

Grande Pointe’s Tyler Lozon led the final 10 of the 15-lap feature, shortened five laps by curfew, but was disqualified when post-race tech inspection revealed an illegal transmission.

Shaw, who had to restart at the back after causing a fourcar pileup on lap three, roared through the field to take second with five laps to go.

Kingsville’s Rob Young was credited with his second runner-up finish of the season while Essex’s Doris Lajeunesse was fourth, Harrow’s Patrick Lajeunesse sixth, Cottam’s Tiffany Ellis 10th, Windsor’s West Bertozzi 11th and Ruthven’s Brad Bloomfield 13th.

The Lajeunesse brothers both won a preliminary race – Patrick the first heat and Doris the pursuit.

Chatham’s Gregg Haskell started at the back and passed the field, taking the lead with 6 laps to go to win his second Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Model feature.

Chatham’s John Pinsonneault led all 20 laps in the caution-free Tirecraft Mini-Mods feature, lapping all but 5 of the 18 starters and building a three-quarter track lead at one point.

Blenheim’s Trevor Jones passed Merlin’s Steve Shaw Jr. for 2nd on the final lap.

Track scorers were still reviewing positions 6th through 8th on Sunday afternoon.

Cottam’s Rob Quick, Shaw and Pinsonneault won the heats.

Chatham’s Chris Ellerbeck won his second straight Autotech Bombers feature.

The Late Models will run the first Gord Gotelaer memorial feature this Saturday, in honour of the former track champion and Hall of Fame inductee earlier in May who passed away at the age of 76 in May 2013.
