LDMH adds ED physician

Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH) has added additional shifts to its 24-hour Emergency Department (ED) schedule between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. when the highest wait times occur. The additional shifts started June 1.

“In an effort to continually improve access to care, increase our performance and focus on patient services, we have added an additional shift in our Emergency Department, staffing an extra ED Physician between 4 and 8 p.m., historically our highest wait times,” said Katherine Groenewegen, LDMH Director, ClinicalCritical Care.

The increased physician coverage for this new shift resulted from continuous monitoring and patient feedback. While LDMH has the top performance for wait times across the Erie St. Clair LHIN, wait times are always a focus for increased performance.

In addition to recognizing the need for this new ED shift, a recent staff and community survey provided feedback for areas of improvement to the emergency department registration process. A project is currently under review for process improvements.

“Even though our rankings for wait times are the lowest in the region, 19th out of 73 hospitals which participate in the Pay-ForResults program, no patient wants to wait an extraordinary amount of time to be served,” said LDMH CEO Terry Shields. “We have an obligation to the community we serve to improve access to care, better our performance and focus on patient outcomes, and that’s what we are doing.”

Deputy Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Councillor John Jacobs, Councillor Larry Verbeke, Mayor John Paterson, Councillor John Hammond and Councillor Bill Dunn unveiled the details of the new festival Friday at the town hall.

Leamington unveils new premier festival

By Pat Bailey What does Leamington have in common with Northern California, Rome and the French Riviera? Council isn’t claiming to be tantamount to any of these famous tourist destinations, but is hoping its proximity to the 42nd parallel bodes well for their new premier festival — ‘Sip and Savour’.

At a special unveiling Friday, June 3 at the Municipal Hall, CAO Peter Neufeld and Mayor John Paterson were excited to introduce the event which they hope will showcase the bounty of locally sourced food and beverages in a festival designed to bring chefs, farmers, brew masters and local food producers together to create a unique culinary experience.

The two-day event, slated for August 19 and 20, will also serve as an introduction to Leamington’s newly acquired waterfront property.

“Please join us in celebrating everything local and see what Leamington has to offer,” urged Paterson, who promised the festival will provide a unique experience.

“Experience our multicultural community, our beautiful waterfront and sandy beaches, our music, our fresh food and drink,” continued the mayor. “Located on the 42nd parallel, Leamington encompasses all four seasons and this will be your chance to experience the first of them — summer in Leamington.”

Paterson promised the tomato will not be forgotten. He said the event will kick off with the ‘tapping of the keg’ Friday evening and will also feature a little ‘slice’ of the Tomato Festival with a ‘slice’ competition at noon on Saturday.

Neufeld and Paterson said the event will provide an opportunity for guests to sample a variety of local wine, spirits and beer paired with gourmet culinary creations from local chefs. Entertainment will be provided by local musical acts which promise to set the mood for the premier locavore event of the season.

Friday night will feature a marketplace from 3 to 9 p.m., including fresh produce from Leamington market vendors, an entertainment stage and food truck vendors.

Saturday will begin with a breakfast, food demonstrations by local top chefs, competitions and the return of food trucks and musical entertainment.

The Sip and Savour Experience will be the first event launched under the municipality’s new tourism portfolio.

Council is hoping the fresh approach will still pay homage to the tomato, while showcasing the bounty the county has to offer in several areas, due to its unique climate and growing conditions.

CWATS celebrates county progress

Leamington mayor John Paterson speaks to a gathering of Leamington District Secondary School students during the second annual CWATS Charter Celebration Friday, June 3.

Representatives of CWATS and Leamington municipal council members and administration gathered at the town hall on Erie Street North to attend the celebration along with the two LDSS classes.

By Bryan Jessop Although its objective won’t be completed for years to come, the County Wide Active Transportation System (CWATS) Network is progressing steadily one step at a time.

Representatives of the organization, responsible for establishing a system of walking and cycling trails connecting communities throughout Essex County, made a stop at the Leamington Town Hall on Erie Street North Friday, June 3 for the second annual Charter Celebration. The group was greeted by members of municipal council and administration as well as two classes from Leamington District Secondary School. Fittingly enough, the latter group made the short trip to the outdoor event via the Trans Canada Trail segment immediately east of the school’s property before it juts into a northeastern direction across Elliott Street, Hazelton Street and Queens Avenue before coming to a stop at the municipal office.

The outdoor gathering included speeches by Windsor Essex County Health Unit health promotion specialist Cathy Copot-Nepszy, County of Essex manager of transportation planning Jane Mustac and Leamington mayor John Paterson. T-shirt and reusable water bottle giveaways were also included in the event, held last year at the trail along the western perimeter of the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex parking lot.

Since CWATS began, trails established for cycling and/or walking have been marked with blue signs around Leamington and the rest of Essex County. The Charter Celebration in Leamington was preceded by five others in LaSalle, Kingsville, Lakeshore, Tecumseh and Essex. Following presentations in Leamington, a similar gathering took place in Amherstburg to complete the tour. On behalf of the Health Unit, Copot-Nepszy acknowledged the determination and cooperation of the Municipality of Leamington and County of Essex in playing roles to assist with the ongoing trails project.

“Active transportation is not only good for our health, it’s good for our minds,” she said. “It’s good for the economy, it’s good for the community, it promotes tourism, it’s a greener form of transportation and there’s many, many more benefits to it.”

The co-ed Grade 10 gym class of Lindsay Walker and Cheryl Klemens’ multi-grade English as a Second Language (ESL) class attended the event. Copot-Nepszy noted that it was the first time she witnessed such a degree of high school involvement in the Charter Celebration.

Mustac brought the group of guests up to date on the progress of trails both within and beyond Essex County. The trail used by LDSS students to arrive at and depart from the event was connected to the Greenway on its east side through Lakeshore and toward Chatham as last year’s part of the ongoing project. More recently, the CWATS committee received approval from the Ministry of Transportation to bring the trail westward and link it to the Honourable Herb Gray Parkway and ultimately to Windsor.

“That’s what CWATS is all about,” said Mustac. “Giving regional transportation and connecting Leamington to Windsor, to Detroit, to Kingsville and within your community.”

The CWATS initiative has been building on Essex County roads for the past three years, creating trails and roadside shoulders to connect residents from community to community without requiring motor vehicles. Over the course of those three years, CWATS has built 275 of the targeted 780 km trail system, a project that will take an estimated 20 years to complete.

“It is great to see how all of our towns, the Windsor Essex County Health Unit, ERCA and everyone can pool all their resources together to lead an initiative like CWATS that is so impactful on our residents, allowing them to lead a more active lifestyle,” said Paterson.

The mayor described the trail system planned for County Road 20 between Leamington and Kingsville as being of particular interest to Leamington council, explaining that impending CWATS improvements are greatly needed for the safety of cyclists utilizing the road.

“In the past, there have been far too many lives lost on that road because of the dangerous situation that it is,” he noted.

Charter Celebration supporter Joe Parent drew the winning ballot for the gathering’s FitBit, a wristwatch-like device that measures heart rate, calories burnt and other fitness-driven statistics. The winner was LDSS student Air Ku. At the local high school, Grade 11 and 12 phys ed teachers send their students on twice-weekly runs along the greenway as part of the curriculum, working them up to a five-kilometre run that will serve as a portion of their final exams.

Funding to our health care system will increase by over $1 billion this year.

Investing in new and better ways for all Ontarians to get the care they need means: • 700 new doctors and specialists • 35 hospitals currently being renewed, modernized or expanded • $250 million invested in home and community care • $345 million invested to improve wait times and access to care These investments ensure a strong health care system for both today and tomorrow.

Queen of Peace hosting open house

LAC Delegation Updates Council On Monday evening, June 6, Municipal Council received an update from Leamington Arts Centre director Chad Riley, MFA. The delegation also included LAC board chair Mary Jane Nohra and board members Derek Friesen and Jan Bateman. The delegation not only showed Municipal Council their recent major awards, but also reported that they have been successful in securing a grant worth $2500 to replace standard lighting with ultra-high efficiency LED lighting, and a second grant that will allow them to hire two summer students, one of whom will specialize in outreach activities.

Municipal acquisition of waterfront property complete With the announcement of the purchase of two final pieces of property on Foster Avenue, Mayor John Paterson announced the completion of the municipal acquisition of waterfront lands at the June 6 meeting of Leamington Council.

With the acquisition of the final two properties, each costing $400,000 plus taxes and legal fees, development of the waterfront is ready to begin.

It is expected that the recently-announced festival, Sip and Savour experience, will take place at this location. For more information, check out www.onthe42nd.com

Council supports special designation for Hogs for Hospice Administration has recommended that the Hogs for Hospice event at the end of July should be designated an “Event of Municipal Significance” for the purposes of the application for special occasion permits.

A report to Council at the June 6 meeting says, in part: “The Liquor License Act does not provide any guidance as to what constitutes an event of municipal significance and the Municipality does not have a policy relating to such designations, however, other municipalities have described such events as ‘…a single or recurring special event, which has a high economic and business benefit to the residents and the community. This type of event attracts local, national and international visitors and participants as well as a wide range of media coverage.’ It would appear that Hogs for Hospice will be such an event.”

There will be a need for a number of special licences over the weekend. A beer garden is planned for Seacliff Park on all three days, and it is hoped that the concert event can be licenced.

Council was receptive to designating the event as ‘of municipal significance’.

By Bryan Jessop Queen of Peace staff are ready to bid farewell to the building at 57 Nicholas St., although the approach to an upcoming open house is celebrating a merger rather than mourning a closure.

“We like to think of the school as moving rather than closing,” said Queen of Peace principal Marta Marazita, referring to the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board’s decision to send JK to Grade 6 students to St. Louis Catholic Elementary School while Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School will eventually host a middle school for Grade 7 and 8 students from both Leamington feeder schools. “It’s just a building, really. The students are what make a school.”

On Thursday, June 16, Queen of Peace will host an open house for all current and former students, staff, parents, administrators and other supporters. The event will start with a 6 p.m. mass in the school’s gymnasium, led by celebrants Fr. Patrick Fuerth and Fr. Danny Santos. The open house itself will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., offering to visitors finger foods and refresh-

ments as well as the chance to reminisce over memories generated at Queen of Peace since it was built in 1961. Walks in and around the school will be included, with old photographs and other memorabilia to be on display.

“We like to think of the school as moving rather than closing.

It’s just a building, really. The students are what make a school.”

— Marta Marazita

“This will be their closure, for everyone who’s had an emotional attachment,” Marazita explained.

Former staff and students are being asked to e-mail old photos from the school to queenofpeace2016@ gmail.com, from where they will be arranged into a power point presentation during the open house. Three committees at Queen of Peace have been working on the open house for the past two months, including groups overseeing the mass, food and décor and the event’s set up. In order to assure that

enough food and beverages are available, each family planning to attend the open house is being asked to RSVP by calling the school at 519-326-9023.

The decision to close Queen of Peace became official in early April with a unanimous vote by the school board’s trustees, who also voted at the same time to close one elementary school in Amherstburg and another in Windsor. The Leamington school will officially close after the last day of classes for the current school year — Wednesday, June 29. Thursday, June 30 has been designated as a P.A. Day. Queen of Peace currently hosts 242 students from JK to Grade 8 as well as 25 staff members.

Currently, there are two transition committees designated to ease the move from Queen of Peace to St. Louis — one for JK to Grade 6 students and the other for Grade 7s and 8s. Thus far, the committees have arranged a Fun Day for students of both involved schools at St. Louis for Monday, June 27.

On June 21, students from both schools will meet at St. Joseph’s Church on Sherk Street for mass.

Don’t wait until your life is in review “In his heart there’s a space and the world can’t erase his fantasies Take a ride in the sky On our ship, fantasize All your dreams will come true right away.”

This past weekend two people inspired me. We don’t have television on the island, so reading, enjoying my surroundings and catching up with friends on Facebook encourages me to use my eyes and ears to think outside the box. For me that means connecting with off-island things.

The first person is Christina Kish Vince, owner of Body Kneads, a local business in Leamington. The second person is Ryan Malinowski, an entrepreneur from Buffalo, New York. He was a former Leamington Flyers hockey player who was one of our billets.

Saturday evening Mark and I closed our evening by listening to Ryan share his story and knowledge on the radio show called ‘Entrepreneur Unplugged.’ On Sunday morning we wakened and listened to Christina’s post as she shared her latest spir‘ritual’ journey to Scottsdale, Arizona, where her ‘biggest takeaway’ was probably more valuable than Ellen’s twelve-day gift giveaway.

I love to be inspired and the simple things found all around me are a constant source of inspiration. The pineapple that miraculously grew from the pineapple top I planted almost two years ago rates equally with the wise words that come from famous philosophers as well as from acquaintances and friends.

When Mark and I were given the opportunity to manage an island in the Bahamas, our first response was to jump in with two feet. Definitely jumping right in opened up the door, but when we started thinking how this change would really affect our lives and the lives of those around us, we almost jumped back out. Instead we took charge and stepped up.

It wasn’t until we’d lived on the island about six months that it dawned on me that we were where we were that moment because of all the steps we’d taken up to that point.

I find it very interesting and not a coincidence that both Christina and Ryan treat their bodies like temples. For as long as I have known Christina, she has taken the steps to feel well physically and no doubt mentally as well. Ryan demonstrates on Facebook how he balanced off his vacation beverages with 200 shuttle runs on the beach prior to imbibing.

These people exemplify the efforts necessary to be our

best. They set examples, SHANNON but it is wise to create MATHESON your own plan. Whether it’s running or push-ups, swimming or walking, yoga or cycling, the imLifestyles... portant factor is to challenge yourself. By tryBROUGHT TO YOU BY: ing a few things you will discover what makes you www.southpointford.ca feel happy and better about yourself. The choice is yours.

Ryan has kept a daily schedule and ‘goals’ book since 2006. He is able to reflect back over the last 10 years. This has been an invaluable tool for him. He knows exactly what he wants to accomplish and works hard to make it happen.

Christina shares the fact that if we take the steps and “choose what is in your heart’s desire the Universe will help things work out.”

Ryan’s favourite quotation by Aristotle has become his motto for life: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Ryan doesn’t live for the quick results, but as if life is a marathon. You achieve results by repeating the behaviors day in, day out for many years.

In the middle of the night after I wrote this column, I woke up wondering what exactly it was about both Ryan and Christina’s posts that made them stand out. It donned on me that it was true ‘FACE’ time. We all tend to post favourite quotes that we like or videos that show others being kind but do we live behind that message on the screen? Hopefully that message lives through us and our actions. These two individuals took it up a notch and chose to deliver their message to us personally, face to face. Internalizing your goals instead of just preaching them shows dedication. Kudos to them both for their dedication and thanks for sharing!

It’s never too late. Be patient and start today. If you are not enjoying the present, you have the choice to change it.

Take in everything around you that inspires you: music, nature, food and people.

Classic TV is still a favourite

MARK RIBBLE

Rib’s Ramblings

Back in the happy days of early television, I was just grateful to get the eight channels that we got.

To tell the truth, I now couldn’t imagine believing that eight is enough but you bet your life it was.

The black-and-white television set was a bonanza to the entertainment industry when radio was considered king of the airwaves.

I guess you could say that TV was queen for a day. But that day turned into decades of good times.

Families took to the TV like F-Troop to a wagon train as they crowded around that old Zenith.

You’d think that three’s company but it wasn’t that crowded around the old set. Kids always had to make room for daddy, who loved watching Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night. Live in your own living room!

They didn’t dare argue because, after all, father knows best.

In the summer, those same kids would put down their banana splits and milkshakes and change out of the bathing suits and flippers, suddenly lost in a twilight zone of television overload. Whether a half hour or 60 minutes of programming, they were glued to the tube like chips to fish.

The green acres that our house sat on made for a great playground in those days, from the bright open field to the dark shadows under the big willow tree.

Sometimes we’d sneak down to the old orchard and pick some apples. Way down the road sat an old taxi where we would strip the old rawhide leather from the seats and mash it all together to look like something from the wild, wild, west.

I spent a lot of time dreaming about what life as an adult would be like. That itself was the $64,000 question. Would I become a Perry Mason type? Or, Marcus Welby, MD? Or maybe just a regular Joe writing a regular column.

Instead of wanting a big family like the Waltons, I dreamt of life with two or three kids and a white picket fence, a true family affair.

Well, the picket fence never materialized but life is good here in the land of the lost, where nobody’s happiness is in jeopardy.

I managed to avoid divorce court and we have a couple of lovely growing grandchildren to occupy the days of our lives.

And to top it off, we’re getting hitched. We have the proverbial Brady Bunch type of family already, so this will just make it official.

By the end of summer, Deb and I will be honeymooners and as we grower older, we hope we get smarter and all of our troubles will be lost in space. This lad and lassie have suddenly become Papa and Grandma as our little group keeps growing.

We have our own superstars, lone rangers and Charlie’s angels all in the family.

As reality TV takes over the hundreds of channels we now pay to have in our homes, us older folks can’t help but reminisce about those old shows we watched for free. You can’t beat old footage of the Carol Burnett Show, I Love Lucy, The Beverley Hillbillies or Red Skelton. They just stand the test of time, while many of today’s offerings usually don’t.

You may have noticed a pattern here. I’ve hidden 50 classic TV shows in this column. Now your job is to find them.

Two new French’s products to be launched at Highbury Canco

How Canadian is your ketchup?

Ketchup is more than a condiment – it’s now synonymous with Canadian empowerment and supporting all things local. This is evident from the ongoing debate over the question, “How Canadian is your ketchup?” Sparked by the Facebook post by Orillia’s Brian Fernandez about making the switch from Heinz to French’s, it’s been a debate on social media ever since.

French’s has listened to Canadians, and on June 2 announced it will bottle its ketchup in Toronto in 2017 and launch two new products at the Highbury Canco plant in Leamington.

Ketchup Patriot founder Rob Basile said, “It is gratifying to witness the positive impact consumer decisions create on our economy.

We didn’t think French’s was going to follow through with its plan. This is great news and French’s deserves to be acknowledged for reinvesting in a market from which it derives profit.”

Basile added, “This demonstrates when Canadians rally together to create change good things happen. This is a grassroots movement that goes beyond ketchup. It is a “buy local when you can” movement that is creating real momentum in our economy as people shift their mindsets, and as evidenced by today’s announcement, is helping to encourage big corporations to create and sustain jobs in this country.”

Ketchup Patriot: Helping Canadians recognize where their food is made, and encouraging them to seek out Made in Canada solutions.

A simple show of patriotism to help the economy and our fellow Canadians.

Leamington more than doubles Big Bike goal

By Bryan Jessop The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Bike Bike was another big hit in Leamington this year.

The Windsor-Essex County branch of the national organization brought the 30-seat vehicle into Leamington Wednesday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 2, where a combined 16 local teams took it out for a spin. Each group converged at the host site — Jose’s Bar and Grill on Talbot Street West — after collecting monetary donations to help support the local Heart and Stroke chapter. This year marked the second consecutive annual installment of the event hosted by Jose’s in Leamington.

Leamington entries included teams representing Community Living Essex County, Franklin Gardens, Hub International, Security One, the Town of Kingsville, CIBC Leamington, Chartwell Leamington and Kingsville and Canadian Tire Leamington on June 1. The second day of Big Bike in Leamington began with a ride by a team from Jose’s itself, followed by the Real Canadian Superstore, Sun Parlour Homes, Highbury Canco, Elring Klinger, a combined group from the Municipality of Leamington and Value Village, Scotia Bank Leamington and Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. The bike’s appearance in Leamington was preceded by the kick off in Windsor and a stop in Tecumseh.

The first Windsor set of rides raised $15,848 while the Tecusmeh gathering of teams chipped in with an additional $12,220. Leamington’s two-day event generated another $37,724 in support of Heart and

Stroke Foundation programming, more than doubling its goal of $15,500. The pre-event goal for the Leamington runs was $25,500.

Future Big Bike rides in the county will include LaSalle and Essex later this month.

“The communities love it,” said WindsorEssex HSF volunteer of the past three-and-

a-half years Susan Robertson, herself a stroke survivor. “When the bike is out, people honk their horns and cheer for us. Nobody seems to mind the traffic disruption — the police are very generous with their time as escorts and they make it a lot easier.”

“The event’s been just fantastic,” said WindsorEssex Heart and Stroke Foundation area manager

Holly Kirk McLean.

“We’re really pleased with the commitment of the teams and the support from host sites. Windsor-Essex always pulls through for us.”

The fundraising target for the WindsorEssex group this year is $126,000. “There’s a good solid base of return teams here,” said McLean.

North Leamington United Mennonite Church would like to share the love of Jesus with anyone and everyone from the community. All are invited to come enjoy some spirited singing and a message of praise and thanks to God for the many blessings we receive, followed by a barbecued hot dog picnic lunch and some fun games for the children organized by the Sunday School department.

North Leamington United Mennonite Church is a stately looking red brick church located north of Leamington on Concession 6 just west of Hwy # 77.

Many of the congregation have been worshipping together for over 50 years as part of the Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada (MCEC). New people are welcome to join at anytime to experience Jesus’ love.

On one Sunday in spring – this year on Sunday, June 12 – the church service is held outdoors, across the road on the grounds of the UMEI park (United Mennonite Christian High School.) It’s shady by the tall oak trees so be sure to wear a sweater or jacket. The outdoor picnic service begins at 10 a.m. and the hotdog lunch and games should wrap up by 12:30. Dress casual and bring along a lawn chair if you have one.

If you have questions or need transportation to the church picnic, call the church office in advance from Tuesday to Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Children Welcome to Attend DVBS DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School) at North Leamington United Mennonite Church is scheduled for July 11-15, also held at UMEI, from 9 a.m.-12 noon for children grades JK-6. Many children in the community join together for a week of high energy Jesus fun. This year’s theme is “Cave Quest, Following Jesus – The Light of the World.” Online registration begins June 1 at www. nlumc.com

Camp Day!

The Southpoint Sun - 7

Leamington Fair fast approaching Celebrating 168 years of fun!

Leamington Tim Hortons Erie Street South employee and Camp Day coordinator Fatima Remeloso accepts a customer donation Wednesday, June 1 for annual Camp Day fundraising. Each year, the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation sends 19,000 kids from across Canada and the United States to camp.

From left to right, Brenda Wilhelm, Lisa Vazquez, Fatima Remeloso and Cindy Wright were among Leamington Tim Hortons Erie Street South employees.

By Bryan Jessop The 168th annual edition of the Leamington Fair may be going back to its roots, but that doesn’t mean there are no new attractions in store.

The Leamington and District Agricultural Society will present the 2016 Fair starting with opening ceremonies on Friday, June 17 and close for the final evening Sunday, June 19. Carter Shows Midway will once again provide visitors with rides and games, which may include new additions this year. In addition to opening ceremonies, Friday evening will include the Greenhouse Competition — formerly known as the Hottest Tomato Competition — as well as the return of 7 p.m. harness horse racing.

Organizers with the LDAS experimented with Sunday for horse races, but found that Friday evening provided a more convenient time slot. The event is being backed by purse money from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

“It’s a fun, laid-back family atmosphere,” LDAS president Tammy Wiper said of the fair’s horse races. “People have such a good time with it. It’s not about big money — it’s just plain old fun.”

To date, the Friday evening harness horse races are one of only two to be hosted by an Ontario community-based fair. For the racing season, the Leamington Fairgrounds was recently complimented with a new paddock, which for the

fair, will have sheep at one end and horses in the other.

Features drawing crowds for all three days will be the Vendors’ Alley, Carter rides and games, the home craft and culinary art display, the large school art display in the Janette Mulholland Centre, a photography contest display, agricultural showcase and 4H Club display and the Greenhouse Competition, the later of which includes entries from across Canada and proceeds to benefit Reach International.

Activity resumes on Saturday at 10 a.m. with the daily features plus a pet show. A new attraction for this year’s fair will be an antique tractor pull starting at 1 p.m., where anyone with an antique tractor is invited to hitch up to a sled and determine how far they can pull it for a fee of $10. The tractor and owner will receive free admission to the fairgrounds.

“We’ve already got a lot of people asking about it,” said Wiper of the antique tractor pull. “We’re just doing it for fun to see how far these babies will go.”

The weekend’s schedule will feature a new time for the annual children’s bicycle draw, slated to start at 3 p.m. With free tickets for the raffle, 10 new bikes will be drawn for girls and another 10 for boys. The Lyndy Wiper Antique Tractor Parade will begin at 5 p.m., followed by the 7 p.m. demolition derby. Teenage Midnight Madness — offering a discounted rides rate for youth visitors — runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.

Sunday will also offer a new feature for spectators. Starting at 2 p.m., chuckwagon races will be presented by the Ontario Chuckwagon Racing Association. Races will include full-size and mini chuckwagons as well as full size and mini chariots.

“Everybody’s so exicted about it,” said Wiper. “We’re getting a lot of calls asking about it. It’ll really be something to see.”

Returning after being absent from the Leamington Fair for a few years will be Polly The Cow, Dressers Honey and The Toffee Guy. The Activity Centre will feature a ‘buy local’ display featuring Primo Foods products while shortwave radio demonstrations will also be conducted. Any non-profit groups wishing to set up a free booth of their own during the fair can contact the LDAS at 519-326-8082.

Local police officer retiring

By Pat Bailey Constable Kevin O’Neil always knew he’d be a police officer – there was never really any other career that ‘captured’ his interest.

As a youngster he dreamed of becoming a cop and protecting people from ‘the bad guys’, and for the past 38 years he has lived his dream.

“It’s the only job I ever wanted to do,” he said. “I really wouldn’t have changed a thing.”

O’Neil applied to the RCMP at 18, straight out of high school. After a three-year-wait and six months of training, the Leamington OPP Community Service Officer was posted to Saskatchewan in 1978.

Nine years later, O’Neil applied for a job with the Mersea Police Department, and packed up and moved to Leamington. Twelve years later, O’Neil became a member of the Leamington Police Service, courtesy of the amalgamation of the two departments.

In 2010, he began serving with his third local department when the OPP took over policing for the municipality in a rather controversial decision by Council.

While technology has changed policing considerably, O’Neil said there’s really not much of a difference in the criminals who continue to keep them busy. He said there is generally an addiction of some sort that fuels the criminal activity, be it alcohol, crack cocaine, oxycontin or fentanyl.

But no matter the name of the department, O’Neil threw himself into the community he has grown to love.

As the community service officer for the last 12 years, the father of three and grandfather of one (with one on the way) loved spending time in the schools. Whether it was the VIP Program for the Grade 6 students or the B-Rad program for the Grade 9s, O’Neil loved developing a friendly rapport with the students and would like to think that he helped dissuade some youngsters from going down the wrong path.

That, to O’Neil, would spell success.

And when O’Neil retires in June, he wants to go out in the same manner he spent much of his time — giving back and raising funds for the community.

O’Neil’s name has become synonymous with several events and charities: the NHL Legends vs. police hockey game, W.E. Care for Kids, Cop Camp and so on. In fact, O’Neil has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars during his years as an officer. And he’s the first one to admit, it wasn’t just him but dozens of supporters, sponsors and community generosity responsible for the successful

fundraising.

“I have worked with some wonderful people over the years,” said the officer.

When he was approached about a retirement party, O’Neil thought what better way than raising funds for the charities he had grown to love. Besides, he said, without a party he would never be able to thank everyone individually for all they have done.

So on June 17, beginning at 6 p.m., O’Neil will be honored with a retirement party at the Portuguese Club. Tickets are $30 and everyone is welcome. He said there will be autographed sports memorabilia to be auctioned — hockey sticks, jersey, pictures, etc. — with proceeds from the party benefitting cOPPs For Charity. For further information call 519-326-2544.

For O’Neil, it’s a bittersweet time. The huge Detroit Tigers’ fan will certainly enjoy a few more late night games without having to worry about crawling out of bed early the next morning. He is looking forward to traveling to Hawaii with his wife Judy and longtime friends, and spending more time with his grandchildren. But he knows he’ll miss the youngsters and the uniform.

“I always said, if I can use my uniform to help make peoples’ lives better — I would,” said O’Neil.

And he has.

Celebrating changes at Chartwell Leamington Residents, staff and families at Chartwell Leamington, along with the community, celebrated changes on Sunday, June 5. The residence, which earlier this year accommodated a Long Term Care wing, has seen many transitions and is re-introducing to the community as a premier retirement residence.

New general manager Gino Nicoletti was happy to cut the cake and celebrate all of the positive changes happening at Chartwell Leamington. Most recently, the dining experience has seen a significant change. A whole new dining room upgrade accompanies a brand new menu. The new menu is just one of many upgrades at the residence. Losing the residence’s Long Term Care wing at the end of 2015 was unexpected to both staff and residents; however, the residence has focused on the positives and is happy to serve the community as retirement living.

Re: Construction begins on new LDSS My father was instrumental in some of the landscaping of the hospital grounds, planting a blue spruce at the front of the building.

I know history flies by, but memories are forever here.

– Yvonne (Slater) Bailey, Leamington

Editor: The article in the Southpoint Sun, June 1, 2016, entitled ‘Construction begins on new LDSS’ states the “old school (LDSS) was built in 1964.”

This is an error on someone’s part. I attended the “old school”, across the street from 125 Talbot S. West in the vacant parking lot. I imagine there are pictures of the “old school”. The new one was built in 1952 – I was going into Grade 10.

The new Leamington District Memorial Hospital further west on Talbot St. was built during the same time.

Editor’s NOTE: 1964 was the date provided to the media from the school board, but upon further investigation, the letter writer is correct, LDSS was built in 195253. Thanks for catching the error.

Mennonite Community Festival attracts hundreds

By Pat Bailey Whether they came for the quilts, the produce, the plants, the activities, the fellowship or the food, the hundreds of guests at the 46th Annual Mennonite Community Festival were treated to some traditional Mennonite fare, as well as some topnotch entertainment. There was face painting for the youngsters, pony rides, several popular children’s characters, games, musical entertainment, and plenty of food served up by dozens of volunteers in the charitable fundraiser. The festival was held at UMEI Christian High School on Saturday, June 4.

Money from this year’s festival will benefit Mennonite Central Committee, UMEI Christian High School, The Salvation Army Food Bank, Leamington Mennonite Seniors Homes and the Sunparlour Crisis Pregnancy Centre.

Elizabeth Bartsch and Margret Wall were kept busy making apple fritters for the hungry crowd at the 46th annual Mennonite Community Festival held at UMEI Christian High School on Saturday, June 4.

Council approves revised site plan

Wednesday, June 8, 2016

The brand new convenience store at the corner of Erie Street and Seacliff Drive west was originally supposed to be 200 m2 in gross floor area under the definition in Leamington’s zoning by-law. After making a request for a minor variance to the Committee of Adjustment, the area was approved for 330 m2. The TSSA (Transportation Safety Standards Association) approved the location of the underground storage tanks for fuel, necessitating a revised site plan.

There was concern expressed by two delegates. Dean Gow spoke about the gestures made by the owners when the minor variance was approved by the Committee back toward the end of April. The lighting that shines into his windows, the absence of buffering and the need for designed fencing all the way to the sidewalk to protect their property from intrusion were highlighted.

Tim Kuli said that he has received less consideration than Mr. Gow and he wants fencing up as soon as possible. He is concerned about bicycle tracks going around the new store and over the corner of his property. A promise was made that the highest fence possible would be built. The Ecostone fence is expected to be both light and sound-proof.

Members of council approved the new site plan, but administration will be keeping a close eye on the rate of progress.

The Province of Ontario is investing more than $2 million over two years in six creative community-based housing initiatives for adults with developmental disabilities.

Essex County funding will total up to $278,800 over two years for Smart Support-Technology Enabled Services, led by Community Living Essex County. The project will equip living spaces with innovative, technology-enabled services for people with developmental disabilities. There will be customized services according to individual’s lifestyles, needs and available resources. This project is based on one that was successfully piloted in Boulder, Colorado and in collaboration of Onsite Services, Imagine! and the University of Windsor.

“This project will explore creative and innovative housing supports that will significantly increase independence for people with developmental disabilities,” said Nancy WallaceGero, Executive Director, Community Living Essex County. “We are extremely grateful to the Developmental Services Housing Task Force and the Ministry of Community and Social Services for giving the green light to this demonstration project.”

The selected projects are designed to: • Foster innovative housing solutions through creative partnerships in the developmental services sector, including partnerships among individuals, families, community agencies, multiple levels of government and the private sector.

Bridge to be replaced

The 65-year-old bridge over Big Creek Drain on Mersea Road 12, just north of County Road 14, is slated to be replaced. At a cost of about $40,000, Stantec Consulting is expected to have the tender documents for this project ready at the start of September. The engineering and design documents have come in under the $44,000 that was budgeted for them in this year’s capital works estimates.

This bridge is just one of six that need replacing over the next few years under Leamington’s asset management plan.

Junior Farmers making a comeback in Essex-Kent

Leamington mayor John Paterson was on stage for The Last Friday Coffee House season’s finale at The Bank Theatre on Friday, May 20, but he wasn`t singing the blues.

Paterson performed three of his original songs before presenting The Bank Theatre board members with a cheque for $33,877.54 from the town’s Community Improvement Plan. The money was used to help fund a new heating and cooling unit and a new sprinkler system.

By Brian Sterling Essex-Kent Jr. Farmers The Essex-Kent Junior Farmers have officially been revived in the Essex and Kent county regions as an amalgamated club.

The club held a meeting in April in Tilbury where they discussed what Junior Farmers is all about, what opportunities it provides and what their own club can do in the community.

The club held elections for this year’s executive: President Brian Sterling, Vice-President Nic Willemsma, Provincial Director Matt Clarke, Assistant PD Kris Rivard, Treasurer Alex Richardson, and Secretary Graham Smyth.

Members are very eager to get involved in the community. The club has a busy schedule ahead with plans to attend events such as the Thamesville Threshing Festival Parade, Pain Court Tractor Pull, Comber Fair, Harrow Fair, Sodbuster 5k Run in Ridgetown and local county plowing matches to name a few.

The club is very excited to be hosting a group of 5 international exchange delegates from the Young Farmers Program when they visit the Essex-Kent area during the week of June 20. Countries they are coming from include: Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Scotland and Republic of Ireland.

The club will be taking the delegates around the area and on tours to show what makes Essex and Kent counties unique.

The delegates will be in Ontario for the summer months and will have the opportunity to travel to several counties within the province with active Junior Farmers clubs and experience the many things there is to offer.

Lyme support group ‘lights’ the way for awareness

By Bryan Jessop With tick season upon us, the Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group is again stepping forward as representatives of patients who are having trouble finding support elsewhere.

On Thursday, May 26, about 30 of the group’s 100-plus members made the trip to the county’s northwest corner to witness the second annual Lyme Lighting for Lyme Disease Awareness. The event was again orchestrated by Caesars Windsor, which lit up its facilities in green light for the evening starting at 9 p.m. until sunrise the following morning.

“It was beautiful last night,” said Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group member Cheryl Abbate. “Having 30 people there was a lot, considering the fatigue involved in having Lyme Disease — it’s an illness where a lot of patients have trouble staying up past 7 o’clock.”

Abbate, who spent the night in Windsor, explained that the green light illuminating Caesars was visible throughout much of the city and that during the event, two representatives of the facility came out to greet and congratulate support group members on their ongoing awareness drive.

The previous evening, the group held its monthly meeting at Colasanti’s Tropical Garden in part to discuss the Federal Lyme Disease Framework Conference in Ottawa, held May 15-17 at the Government of Canada Conference Centre. Ten members of the local organization including caregivers attended, where 108 Lyme Disease patients from British Columbia to Nova Scotia and all points in between told their own personal stories of struggling and coping with the illness.

The large gathering was divided into three rooms to take turns sharing their experiences, each being recorded on camera. The conference was required as part of Bill C442, which become law after receiving royal ascent. The bill was introduced as a private member’s bill by Green Party leader Elizabeth May,

who attended the conference and was able to speak with members of the Sun County group. Two seven-hour sessions were followed by a third of about four hours in length, during which time the Sun County group members were able to tell their own personal stories. Within the next one to two weeks, links on the conference will be made available online.

Other notable guests at the gathering in Ottawa included Dr. Richard Hawkins, a Calgary-based physician who openly treats Lyme Disease patients. Most doctors, Abbate noted, are reluctant to treat the illness out of fear of having their licenses revoked through Health Canada.

From left to right, Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group members Jamie Jacobs, Tony Policella, Maria Hillier and Cheryl Abbate ‘Take a Bite Out of Lyme’ Hawkins, armed with a medical law deduring a Lyme Disease awareness event at Fort Dearborn Company on Oak Street gree, has been able to thwart punishment West May 27 of last year.

Members of the Sun Parlour group — which promotes rate Western Blot, tests for only one strain. The Elisa, Abbate awareness through its Facebook page “Sun County Lyme Dis- noted, is often flawed because the antibodies it seeks are only ease” — also met Dr. Nataliia Rudenko of the Czech Republic, found about six weeks after the patient is bitten by a Lymea well known physician at the international level who states infected tick. Abbate also explained that after a certain period that there are 900 strains of Lyme Disease, contrary to the of time, Lyme’s affect on the immune system will force it to North American assumption that the number is around 300. stop producing antibodies, which will also “fool” the Eliza test Rudenko, Abbate explained, describes the North American ap- into thinking the disease is not present.

Bruce Doidge of Ancaster sent a photo of his mother standing beside a car in Hamilton around 1943. He asked me for the make and year.

The mystery car is a 3-window coupe with built-in sun visor and appears to have a step plate at the back leading to a rumble seat. The headlight bar is horizontal. The radiator shell is distinctive and surrounds the radiator itself (no grille).

Cowl lights are on either side of the hood with stainless trim at rear of hood. The right front fender has some metal trim in the centre, and the headlight lenses have curved lines.

On a hunch, I visited the Canadian Transportation Museum on the Arner Town Line west of Kingsville to take photos of a 1929 Nash Ambassador Model 467 sedan donated

by Harry Thomas Ouellette of Fort McMurray, Alberta. In fact, the car still has Alberta license plates.

The right front fender has the same metal trim running up the centre from the front, and the radiator shell and rad both look the same as the one on our mystery car. The museum car has cowl lights with stainless trim at the rear of the hood and has a built-in sun visor. Also, the design on the headlight lenses is identical.

OPP Drug Drop-Off Day successful The Essex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) conducted a Prescription Drug Drop Off Day on May 21 in several communities.

A total of 44.5 kilograms of prescription drugs were dropped off at local detachments in Essex County.

“Communities in Canada have seen a rise in deaths due to prescription drug misuse.

Prescription Drug Drop Off Day provides a convenient opportunity for residents to safely and anonymously dispose of prescription medications,” said Essex County OPP Detachment Commander Glenn Miller.

Better awareness of the dangers of unused or expired medications means that people are increasingly making a greater effort to take prescription drugs back to the pharmacy where they can easily be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

Continued vigilance by those who are in possession of drugs that can be dangerous when they fall into the hands of those for whom they were not intended will help to curb this public safety issue.

Archery program arrives at East Mersea School

By Bryan Jessop If introducing a new and unique set of lessons to its students is a priority, East Mersea Public School is right on target.

Thanks to combined donations from the Southwest Outdoors Club and the Southwestern Ontario chapter of Safari Club International, the local school is having archery added to its curriculum through the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), as provided by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. The cost of equipment and training required for teachers to administer the program — $6,400 for the full kit as brought to East Mersea — was split evenly between Safari Club International and SWOC at $3,200 each.

“We mentioned the program to the students during a morning assembly and they were ecstatic,” explained East Mersea principal Chris Konrad. “It’s a different opportunity to add to what they’re learning. That’s what excites me.”

Safari Club International’s Southwestern Ontario chapter president John Jones provided a five-hour training course to four teachers who will in turn be able to offer archery instructions to students. Archery has been offered as after-hours programming at many schools through North America, but for NASP, it must be added as part of the participating school’s curriculum. After archery is introduced to students via math, history, gym, physics or any other applicable courses, it can then be offered as an after-school program under NASP guidelines.

Safari Club International, which began in the United States before branching out into Canadian chapters, has introduced NASP to 20 million kids worldwide in 22 countries. Ontario was the last Canadian province to include the program, with East Mersea being its 42nd school. After Jones applied to SCI for NASP funding, he was granted $15,000 to bring archery to schools in his region. East Mersea is the second in Windsor-Essex County

Safari Club International Southwestern Ontario chapter president John Jones explains the flight path of an arrow on its way to a target as he trains East Mersea Public School teachers Jennifer Wood, Tammy Haines, Scott Augustine and Judd Simms to lead archery as part of the school’s curriculum. The $6,400 cost of equipment and training was split evenly by the local SCI chapter and the Southwest Outdoors Club.

to welcome the archery program, preceded by Kingsville Public School last year. Jones explained that he hopes to bring the program to Kingsville District High School by September of this year.

The full archery kit, as chosen for East Mersea, includes 12 bows, five targets designed to last for 10 years, a large backstop and several arrows. Half kits and three-year targets are also available to schools for a reduced cost. During training, teachers are taught how to repair and adjust bows for users of different ages and proper shooting technique. The school’s gymnasium was host to the five-hour training session and will be the site of student lessons.

“Just seeing the equipment got the kids excited,” said East Mersea teacher Judd Sims, one of four who will step forward as an archery instructor. “They’ve been peeking through the door all day. The whole program is about building confidence.”

“The sport is an opportunity for kids to get involved in an activity that they can be good at,” added Wood.

Sims, along with fellow teachers Jennifer Wood, Tammy Haines and Scott Augustine became OFAH NASP Basic Archery Instructors through the training period with Jones. The program has proven successful in its U.S. origins, where 84 per cent of students in NASP schools surveyed stated they would pursue the hobby outside of school.

Jones, who has been into archery for 35 years, explained that students will be able to enter tournaments where they’ll be able to tally scores in their own schools and submit them to a central office where they can be compared regionally against entries from other schools.

Erie Shores progs golf

LSCU U15 girls were undefeated in the Stratford Classic Tournament to bring home the championship. Team members, front left to right: Brianna Zakaria, Kaya Hearns, Jaclyn Moore, Ally Sands, Taylor Taouil, Madison Baptista, Lauren Moon, Alexa Robinson.

Shelby Bekaan, Lauryn Rogers. Back row: Coach John Murracas, Montana Wilkins, Juliana Hernandez, Kylie Murracas, Miranda Obeid, Taylor Najim, Caitlyn Massad, Kylie Cioci, coach Rob Cioci. Absent: Karson Dickinson, (Submitted photo)

On May 31, another beautiful day greeted the 55 proggers at Erie Shores. Even though the weather was awesome, only a third of the golfers would go home with a plus score. Team B had the majority of positive results and was the winner.

Winning members ($10 each) were Claudio Sabelli, Gary Alderson, Greg Dunmore, John Penner, Barry Miller, Dan McQueen, Andy Herring, Neil Sawatzky, Kevin Shaften, Vic Penner, Bill Stackpoole, Frank Gow, Mike Herbert and Harry Badz.

Top scorers were Les Young with a +8, Ollie Mastronardi at +7 and Tim Towle and Joe Verhoeven who each had a +6. It must be noted that Les just missed shooting his age by 1 stroke, but Ollie shot his age… and no they aren’t 90 years old.

There were only 4 skins as there were a number of sawoffs on some holes, with one of them being more heartbreaking than the others. Thanks Larry! Those awesome golfers who won skins were Dave Wilkinson, Frank Gow, Steve O’Hara and Tim Towle each winning $22.

Jim Sudds took ownership of the snake and will proudly carry it on his golf bag. Hard to imagine Jim getting the snake as he has so many putters at home to practice with.

Hopefully the nice weather continues. Remember to keep hydrated in these warm temperatures.

June 7 started a new month for progs and stats for this year’s fedex points and money winnings will soon follow.

LSCU U15 girls win tournament championship The Leamington SC United U15 girls competed in the Stratford Classic Tournament the weekend of June 4-5 and went undefeated in five games to bring home the championship.

Group play took place on Saturday. The girls started the tourney with a solid 3-1 win over Guelph. Goal scorers were Brianna Zakaria, Kaya Hearns and Miranda Obeid. Game 2 had the girls face Windsor Wheels where they came away with a 3-2 victory with goals from Ally Sands, Montana Wilkins and a penalty shot goal by Kylie Murracas. The girls finished group play with a 1-0 win against a strong London Croatia team. Goal scorer was Miranda Obeid with perfect top corner free kick.

Ladies 18-hole golf

Thirty-two ladies of the Erie Shores Tuesday night 18-hole ladies league came out to play their May 31st game, Drop Worst Hole per 9.

Winners were: A flight - Deb Dunmore and Carol Cornies tied; B flight Anne Badz; C flight - Vi Gillett. Anne Badz and Beth Conn both had chipins. Congratulations, ladies!”

Finishing first overall left the girls facing the strong London Croatia team once again in the semi-finals on Sunday morning. The team played one of their best games of the season so far and came out with a 1-0 win on Miranda Obeid’s third free kick goal of the tournament, advancing Leamington to the finals.

The championship game was against the hometown Stratford Strikers. The first half finished scoreless but a determined LSCU team came out flying with 2 early goals in the second half by Ally Sands and Montana Wilkins. Kylie Murracas solidified the win with a perfect penalty shot off a hand ball in the box by Stratford. After a short rain delay the LSCU squad finished the game perfect defensively and Kylie Cioci earned her third shutout of the tournament to secure the championship in the Stratford Classic.

Krueger tops TT senior golfers

Bantam Lakers win a pair

The Leamington Midget Lakers wrapped up a busy week playing three away games in five days in Sun Parlour baseball league play.

On Tuesday the Lakers beat the Essex Yellow Jackets 13-2, on Thursday they dropped a tough game 7-6 to the Amherstburg Diamondbacks, and on Saturday handled the Woodslee Orioles 8-1 in a rain shortened contest.

Against Essex, the locals struck for 5 runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back. Aidan Massad pitched a gem, allowing only one hit and striking out nine in five full innings. Emilio Gomez and Lucas Lamotte each pitched an inning of relief.

Lamotte, Brett Enns, Brandon Teichroeb and Anthony Fehr had two hits each. Teichroeb included a long triple in his totals.

Nursing a 5-1 lead after five innings against Amherstburg, the Lakers were victims of a walk-off single that scored two runs and gave the Diamondbacks the win.

Lamotte started on the mound and gave up only one hit. Enns and Massad came on in relief. James Hiebert stroked a triple to lead the Leamington offense.

In Saturday’s game in Woodslee, Kameron Wall pitched all four innings giving up one run, two hits and no walks in a constant drizzle.

Massad, Teichroeb and Ryan Gates had two hits each, while Wall helped his cause with a solo home run in the third inning.

The Leamington Midget Lakers are sponsored by Howie’s Custom Coating and coached by Chris Lamotte, Terry Misener and John Wall.

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, May 31, sixty-eight Talbot Trail senior golfers teed off at 9 a.m. on a beautiful sunny day.

One golfer, Ken Krueger, stood out from the rest of the pack as he fired a masterful par 36 score.

Three players tied for second place as they shot excellent 40s: Jim Pearson, Herb Reid and Dutchy.

Four players who achieved terrific 42 results were Jerry Omstead, Pat Hill, Vic Reynaert and Mike Getty. Larry Schmidt and Joe Vertel earned very gratifying 43s.

Four golfers who obtained satisfying 44s were Bob Freure, John Liddell, Dave Overholt and Bob McLean.

Satisfying 45s went to Bob Patchett, Terry Scratch and Jim Omstead.

Other commendable results of 50 or less went to the following players: Al Matthews and Paul Brown 46s; Al Zanuttini, Kevin Jordan, Doug Langlois and Rick Thompson 47s; Bill Ward, Bob Scott, Gerald Rivait, Don Willan, and Ed Woelk 48s; Ross MacKintosh, Larry Haggitt, Ray La Pierre, Paul Harrison, Dave Dent and Eugene Abbruzzese 49s; Pete Daudlin, Dave la Bonte, Walter Balsam and George Toews each with nifty 50.

George dropped 8 shots off the previous week’s game.

Well done, George!

Vic Reynaert won the long putt when he converted an excellent 16 footer on #2!

Dutchy was topped for low gross, but he was totally dominant on #9 for closest to the pin. Jim’s shot was a mere 12 inches from a hole in one! Great shot, Dutchy!

We’re not supposed to make excuses for our poor rounds of golf, but I thought it over and decided to share what caused my score to be higher than I expected.

Here’s what I came up with: 1. It was too sunny and warm of a day; 2. The golf course was too well manicured by Derek and staff; 3. There weren’t enough leaves on the trees I was hitting into; 4. My playing partners were just too nice.

Doesn’t work, does it? All we can do is to keep trying to improve by working on our own games. Practice, positive thinking, Practice, positive thinking, Practice…

Let’s all try to lower our scores next week. Poor Ken, he has a big challenge ahead, doesn’t he?

The leagues first travel excursion is to Belleview on Monday, June 20. Sign up ASAP. Also, the first scramble takes place on Tuesday, June 21.

There are approximately 80 golfers signed up in the league now, and even more players are anticipated in the next few weeks.

Future write-ups will be done by age division similar to past years.

Erie Shores hosts opening kick-off After having to cancel the original date of the Erie Shores Opening Kick-Off Golf Tournament on May 14 because of soggy course conditions, not to mention cold afternoon temperatures that hovered around 5ºC, the event finally got completed this past Saturday afternoon, June 4.

Under much warmer conditions, defending champion from last spring and also winner in last September’s Closing Field Day, Brian Humphreys again posted an impressive three shot victory over all comers by shooting an even par 71 to win his 6th Opening Kick-Off title in the past 10 years. Finishing in second place, three strokes back at 3 over par 74, was Darryl DiMilo.

There was a four-way tie for third place with Ward Hutchins,

Men’s Thursday night golf results In the fourth week of the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club, the skin game portion of competition finally got under way with a slew of winners June 2.

Picking up single skins in the +2 to 3 handicap flight were Brian Humphreys, Matt Iacobelli, Ward Hutchins and Mike Ferreira. In the 4 to 6 handicap flight, Kevin Babkirk, Mauro Paglione and Jason Wiebe also picked up single skins, while Derrick Hutchins and Duane Vlodarchyk each did the same in the 7 to 30 handicap flight.

The teams of Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus finished first in the nightly play, while Team Tom Watson was alone in third just a point ahead of Team Sam Snead. Finishing fifth was Team Bobby Jones just four points ahead of the squads of Byron Nelson and Tiger Woods, who were both four points back in sixth place.

In the overall standings, Team Ben Hogan improved their first place position with 77 points, good enough for a 15 point lead over the second place team of Jack Nicklaus. Team Gary Player is next in third spot with 57 points, just a couple ahead of the teams of Byron Nelson and Sam Snead who both have 55. Right behind them, tied for sixth place with 54 points, are the teams of Tom Watson and Tiger Woods.

In the individual competition, Mike Ferreira led all shooters,

burning up the front 9 with a sizzling three under par round of 32, while Brian Humphreys was two back with a one under par 34. Glen Rideout, Ward Hutchins, Matt Iacobelli and Tim Towle also had good games tying for third lowest with scores of even par 35.

In the handicap rated play there was a three-way tie for best score with Derrick Hutchins, Dan D’Alimonte and Wilf Janzen all having four under par net rounds of 31. Finishing next with net scores of 32 were Tim Vreman, Tim Towle, Claudio Sabelli, Larry Lucier and Peter Fehr.

The longest driver of the night was Brian Humphreys while Jason Wiebe hit it closest to the pin on hole #3. The longest par honours went to Mike Ferreira.

Players are reminded that next Thursday, on June 16th, the league is having its first Fun Night of the season with meal to follow at Erie Shores’ Flamingos Restaurant. Be sure to let Tee Starter Larry Stull know if you can make it or call the Pro Shop now at 519-326-4231 ext. 22 to book your meal.

Fifty-nine Erie Shores senior golfers showed for another beautiful day of golf. Fifty-fifty winners were Dick Segedin and Barry Miller. Closest to the pin on #3 was Gary McRae and on #16 it was Willy Patkau. Longest putt on #6 was Ross Clark and on #14 it was Richard Leslie.

First place winners, with the Stapleford format, at +21 was the team of Alden Warner, Ron Tremblay, Ron Gagne and Wayne McKeen. Second place at +11 were Roy Ozorio, Barry Miller, Willy Patkau and John Rutgers. Third place, also at +11 but placed by retrogression, were Bob Sutherland, Orest Hryenwich, Ken Luxford and Rick Metz. Fourth place at +5 were Gary Alderson, John Paterson, Kevin Shafton and Carl Young.

One person managed to get 2 birdies, and that was Barry Power on #1 and #6. Richard Leslie birdied #2, Herb Grundner #3, Kevin Shafton #4, Matt Dinchik #5, Dick Segedin #6, John Rutgers and Bob Park #9, Wayne McKeen #10, Bob Sinclair #11, Ron Koop #12, Ron Tremblay #13, and Willy Patkau, Steve Ohara and Dan Dalimonte #16.

Matt Dinchik was low golfer for the day at 77, followed closely by Ken Luxford’s fine round of 78. Ron Koop also broke the 80 barrier with a 79. Wayne McKeen and Dan Dalimonte led all golfers with plus 8s, while Matt Dinchik and Ken Luxford both had plus 7s.

It was hard to pick the golfer of the day as several played excellent rounds, but Willy Patkau was the choice as he managed the closest to pin shot on the 16th hole, he helped his team take 2nd place with a +5 rating, and he also sank the birdie putt on #16.
