By Sheila McBrayne A new birthing model recommended by the Expert Panel Leamington and Area Obstetrics and Birthing Services was presented to the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network (ESC LHIN) during a special open board meeting held in Leamington on May 5.

The Expert Panel presented information from the report they compiled in response to the ESC LHIN Board request to review the Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH) proposed intention of eliminating the obstetrical service last fall.

The report from the Expert Panel concludes the work of the Expert Panel.

The Expert Panel recommends that birthing services in Leamington and area continue under a new model: a community-based, patient and family centric, integrated system of partners with independent governance.

A Navigation Centre Hub, central to the organization of this maternal/child/family model, will facilitate safe, sustainable and timely access for mothers, babies and families, while sensitive to the unique needs of the population served.

The Expert Panel concluded that patient safety was the number one risk if Leamington were to completely discontinue birthing services. The long travel time to Windsor puts two patients (mother and baby) at risk, (Continued on Page 9)

The award was won by the Leamington-based group — which included representatives of LDMH and the St. Clair College Web Development Club — during the 2015 Hacking Health competition at Wayne State University’s TechTown in Detroit.

Local team wins Hacking Health award

By Bryan Jessop Leamington has put itself on the forefront of health care technology.

A partnership between Leamington District Secondary School and Leamington District Memorial Hospital — along with a team from St. Clair College’s Web Development Club — has led to a first-place award at the 2015 Hacking Health event. The Windsor-Detroit Hacking Health event, the first-ever international competition of its kind, took place Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3 at Wayne State University’s TechTown. There, 54 pitches were presented to judges covering various categories, including Best Student – Canada. This segment of the threeday gathering was won by the Leamington-based team of 15 members, the largest ever for a Hacking Health event.

The gathering of 267 participants was what is known as a hackathon — an event where designers and developers converge to present and share ideas to help turn concepts into working prototypes. Hacking Health is a specific format of hackathon where health care professionals and non-medical developers collaborate to turn their combined fields of expertise into programs or systems that can one day be utilized for the benefit of the general public.

The formation of the Leamington team began weeks earlier, stemming from a conversation between LDMH manager of innovation, partnerships, communications and development Zain Ismail and LDSS principal Kyle Berard. After the two discussed topics pertaining to the mental health of teenagers, Berard in turn mentioned to LDSS

teacher Lauren Omstead the need for a means to make high school students comfortable with discussing mental health issues with health care professionals. Shortly afterwards, a local Hacking Health team was formed with Ismail as the project leader, accompanied by Omstead, fellow LDSS teacher Carrie Grossi, Grade 10 students Tam Do, Isabel Gossen, JoAnna Weil, Grade 12 student Alyson Skidmore and a group of LDMH staff members. The team was the only one at Windsor-Detroit Hacking Health with a high school contingent.

Three weeks prior to Windsor-Detroit Hacking Health, the local team began researching and developing ideas to create a web-based mental health app that would allow teens to record and track symptoms and issues to later supply as information to professional mental health care providers.

“Our students showed extraordinary levels of motivation, interest and hard work,” Omstead said of Do, Gossen, Weil and Skidmore. “They came up with a lot of excellent ideas. It wasn’t long before they had it all figured out.”

The project soon took on the motto of “By the students, for the students.” Developers noted that high school students’ involvement in the development of the app proved crucial, as the foursome was able to present it in a way that is appealing to other teenagers — a key factor that an all-adult team would not likely have been able to accommodate. As an example, Omstead pointed to a rating system featuring different emoticons frequently used by (Continued on Page 2)

(Continued from Front) teenagers when texting as a component of the app.

“What’s even better is that all the students involved are girls,” Omstead added. “Typically, women are underrepresented in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) professions.”

Following the Friday pitch, four members of the St. Clair College Web Development Group took an interest in creating a prototype of the app and soon became the third and final segment of the team. By taking top honours in the Best Student – Canada category, the team won $12,000 to help further implement the app. This award was donated to the St. Clair College program. One objective for the project will be to transform it into a mobile app.

bilities with,” said Omstead. “We’ll continue doing research to see how we can best move forward. Teen mental health is on everyone’s radar these days. We look forward to seeing where the app can go from here. The kids are so excited about it — they did such a great job and it was great for them to see a project like this materialize. It’s been very rewarding.”

Omstead explained that she would like to see the team enter future Hacking Health events close to the Essex County region. In the past, such hackathons have taken place in Winnipeg, Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton. A future edition of Hacking Health will be hosted by London, Ont. Ismail is also interested in taking the app to the next step.

He believes that finding funding to further develop the concept will not be difficult and has already been approached

Local team wins Hacking Health award for new app

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription

Wednesday, May 13, 2015

by outside groups intending to help make a fully-functional mobile app a reality. These groups include the University of Michigan, among others.

“We’ve built some cross-border relationships and have put Leamington on the map,” Ismail explained. “When we’re ready with funding, we’ll probably be turning partners away. That’s part of what we aim to do here — this hospital will work with the community to make improvements in any way we can.”

One of the St. Clair Web Development Club reps, Colin Thompson, will take the app project to the University of Windsor’s EpiCentre — the institution’s entrepreneurial hub — to be tweaked further. Thompson will work with the EPIC Founders Program, which helps students or recent grads develop business ideas.

Breast screening program expanding

The Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) has expanded with the addition of two new locations in the area, one in Windsor and one in Tecumseh, bringing the total to 6 locations.

This will provide women in the region with greater access to organized, evidencebased, high-quality accredited mammography services.

Screening is a safe and simple test that can detect cancer at an early stage, when it is small enough to treat successfully. Screening sees what you can’t.

All women between the ages 50-74 who have never had a mammogram or had one more than two years ago are eligible and can call the nearest OBSP screening location to make an appointment, no doctor’s referral is required.

The following are the screening locations in the region: • Leamington District Memorial Hospital, 194 Talbot St. W., 519-322-2501 ext 4000.

• Chatham Kent Health Alliance, 80 Grand Ave., Chatham, 519-352-6400 ext. 6554.

LKRC qualifies for 100% funding for study

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent The Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex has qualified for a 100% grant from the Independent Electricity System to perform an engineering study into the feasibility of cogeneration of heat and electricity.

In a report to Municipal Council Monday evening, May 11, Council was informed, “The operation of the LKRC results in the significant consumption of electricity and natural gas.

To illustrate from a cost perspective, the 2015 budget for the LKRC was $350,000 for electricity and $107,000 for natural gas.”

The detailed engineering feasibility study does not commit the municipality to implementation or any capital construction.

The report does point out a potential benefit: “In addition to the possibility of energy cost savings for the facility, if implemented, this infrastructure would also act as a back-up electricity supply for the facility. The lack of backup power supply at the LKRC has been a concern for some time, considering that the LKRC is identified as the community emergency evacuation centre in the Municipality’s Emergency Management Program.”

An interesting point about this grant is that the Independent Electricity System has a second type of grant, and if the engineering study returns favourable findings, then some of the capital cost can be covered.

In response to a question from Councillor John Jacobs, it was explained that this is not a scheme where electricity is fed onto the grid, then bought back. The cogeneration would supply both heat and electricity to the building itself.

Council passed the recommendation.

Final election report delivered to Council

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent One of the requirements under the Municipal Elections Act is a final report to Council from the clerk of the municipality on the municipal election. This report was delivered to Council Monday night, May 11, complete with the required accessibility report. The report covered such things as voter turnout, voter satisfaction and election costs as well as deficiencies in the voters’ list, and the delay in reporting the results.

Here are a few ‘fast facts’ gleaned from the clerk’s report: • Leamington received a $2,000 discount from the company providing the internet voting system due to the delay that was their fault in providing the results.

• In 2003, Leamington was the first to use only the internet for voting, but by 2014 there were 97 municipalities using only the internet.

• Voter turnout was low across Windsor and Essex County — lowest in Windsor (at 37.5%) where polls with vote tabulators are used, and highest in Tecumseh (at 52.5%) and Essex (at 51.3%). Leamington’s turnout was a disappointing 42.3%, although it is considered acceptable provincially.

• The voters’ list was seriously deficient. Expressed in the words of the report, “We were advised by MPAC that the voters’ list it provided to Leamington was approximately 66% accurate.”

• Internet voting did not result in an increase in the number of younger people participating in the election process.

As in the past, the most enthusiastic participation was in the over 50 demographic.

• An independent survey reported 86% satisfaction with internet voting.

• Not including staff time, the cost of the election was approximately $50,000.

Dunn appointed to Council Candidate Bill Dunn was sworn in as a municipal councillor on Monday, May 11 to fill the vacant seat on Municipal Council left by the sudden passing of Councillor Rick Atkin. Bill, often referred to as the ‘Soup Guru’, was appointed by council resolution, sworn into office, and took his seat at the council table. “I just know he is going to bring his personal values to the table and will help us a lot,” said Mayor John Paterson. Councillor Dunn was offered the opportunity to address council and expressed his Kristin Shreve DD ~ Denturist appreciation for the honour Denture Specialist of being appointed. Dunn had the next highest number of votes in the October 2014 Municipal Election.

Bring on the heat, the noise, the dust...

We got our first nice shot of hot weather on the weekend and I did my best not to complain.

The winter we just experienced was enough to aggravate the proverbial brass monkey, so I’ll put up with the heat for the time being.

I’ve often said cold was better because you can put on layers to get warm, while you can only take off so much to cool off.

After the past two winters trying to keep up with newspaper delivery in the city, I stand corrected.

In February, I told more than a few people to slap me if they heard me complain it was too hot this summer. I’m sure those slaps will eventually come, but for now, I’ll take the warmth.

So many good things happen with the warm weather. The birds sing, the flowers bloom and the smell of freshly mown grass fills your nostrils. People are out walking, muscle cars cruise the streets and the good old Leamington Fair is almost here.

I used to live for that fair as a kid.

When I was very young, we would park at the Pursel’s house on Erie Street near the fairgrounds and walk the short distance to the entrance.

As the weekend approached, my parents would drive by the fairgrounds so we could see the trucks with all of the rides and attractions sitting there waiting to be assembled.

The anticipation was excruciating. And then Friday would arrive and all would be well with the world. The smells and sounds were incredible.

My first stop would be at the salt water taffy booth and we’d get to choose the flavours we wanted. Next, we’d get cotton candy or candy apples and then on to some games.

My mom was partial to the Birthday Game, where you threw an oddly shaped set of dice with months on them, while you put your quarter on the month of your choice.

I liked the fish pond, where you always got a prize. There was always someone walking around with a huge stuffed animal. I found out later that those kids were usually chosen and given those toys and told to walk around as a promotion.

I loved the spookhouse as we called it. The bumper cars and giant slide were good too. I never was a fan of the stuff that twirled you around in circles.

I remember talking my dad into taking me to the fair

when I was about 13 MARK and while he went off RIBBLE to grab us a hot dog, I jumped on the Tilt-AWhirl with some school chums.

Rib’s Wow, I was so dizzy Ramblings when I got off, but ate the hot dog anyway, and promptly threw it up.

I usually topped off the visit with a buttery, salty popcorn from Ray Leach’s popcorn wagon. That guy just knew how to make popcorn. It was served in those plain white paper bags, where the greasiness would seep through the sides and bottom. Oh yeah!

Back in those days, you could tour the horse barns and visit with some of the horses. I think now you can only go into certain barns.

My uncle Bill Winger owned a few horses and I often got to visit with him and his son Randy in the barns. I was a big harness racing fan as a kid, mostly because of my uncle and cousin being involved in the driving end of things.

The Hell Drivers were always a hit on Saturday night and that old grandstand was bulging at the seams when those guys put on their show. Even the rooftops of the warehouses adjacent to the tracks were filled with people too cheap to pay to get in.

As a teenager, my mother got a job at the north gates selling admission tickets. She managed to get me a gig there too for two years running. That got me free admission into the fair, although as I grew older, the appeal wore off a bit and the fair had a few lean years in that era.

If the truth be told though, we all enjoyed the noise, dust and smells from that fair at some point in our lives.

And almost 170 years after it started, it still goes strong.

My kids are now grown, but the grandchildren will soon be old enough to wallow in the sugary goodness at the Leamington Fair. Just give them a couple of years and good old grampa will have their sticky faces smiling from ear to ear.

It’s a true sign that summer is here and I’m going to enjoy this summer more than any in recent history. As long as it doesn’t get too hot.

Nautilus, Oceana or perhaps Poseidon Sunday morning, Mark and I were both awakened by the phone ringing off the wall every minute. We knew exactly who it was so let it ring until shortly after seven. “Hi Harry,” I answered. “Happy Mother’s Day” he replied. Harry is smart. He knows how to soften me up before he asks if someone can come over and pick he and Andrew up on Big Whale so they can come to our shop. We decided that 9 a.m. would work for all.

By 9:15, when Mark and I rounded the corner of the shop, there were five men sitting at the harbour table. Steve from Bonds had picked up Harry and Andrew on his way by, saving us a trip across. Payday was Saturday, so all three had come to settle up their shop tab. Harry says he can’t sleep at night until he is settled up with us, which is just fine with shopkeeper Mark.

After their credit was cleared and they started a new tab, each headed off to start their day. Mark and I stuck around to do an inventory of everything in the shop. I downloaded an app called ‘What I got’. With it we were able to take a picture of every item on the shelves, then imputed the number we have of each and the number that will initiate re-ordering. We will see how it works, but it looks cool.

The past week we have been busy and it has been very hot! The mosquitoes are starting to settle in. We ward them off by filling small cans with split brown coconuts, light them and let them smoke. If the smoke is downwind from where we are working, it seems to keep the bugs at bay.

One evening, Butler took a can home and nearly scared me to death. The can was hidden behind a bush next to his house. The smoke rose and stuck under the eaves, making it look like the roof was on fire. I yelled for Mark. He had a chuckle as he pointed out the smoldering can and I chalked it up to one more grey hair for me.

I have finished restoring or chic’ing my second piece of furniture, a bedroom dresser. I am not completely pleased with how it turned out but know that trying to rush the process usually backfires. So as I start my third project, I am determined to take my time. Cleaning and sanding one day

and then waiting a day or so to continue painting, etc. My goal is to get one piece refinished a week. Hopefully I will have restored enough to furnish the little cottage that Mark and I are refurbishing.

My garden is a disaster! Starting from ground zero again is the only answer.

Here again, patience is SHANNON the key. The soil is so MATHESON compacted that the water does not flow through it well and the roots can’t take up the nutrients efLifestyles... ficiently. My new Bahamian gardening book BROUGHT TO YOU BY: and Andrew from Big Whale both suggest digging the compacted soil out and adding to it organic matter and some sand. Here organic matter can be seaweed once it has been rained on a few times and dried along with compost, sawdust, chicken manure and bark or pine needles. The soil is very alkaline here, so some coffee grounds may be a good addition as well.

Arthur has made himself a tiny raised garden right out his front door. It is sheltered from the direct sunlight, keeping his plants cooler. The couple of plants he has in there are thriving. A drain coming through the wall from his kitchen sink keeps the area moist. The little bit of ‘Joy’ infused dishwater probably helps to keep the bugs in check and the random food bits may just feed the plants as well.

Simple makeshift ideas are what makes sense and seem to work here on the island. Arthur doesn’t tell us what to do, but if we watch him carefully we will learn a lot.

I can’t believe we are halfway to New Year’s and almost at our one-year anniversary since arriving to Little Whale Cay. Our New Year’s charter will be made up of the exact

Head-shaving challenges top lineup for Mercato Food Fest Save the date of May 22 as the Mercato Food Fest makes its presence felt across Essex County in support of the Erie Shores Campus of Hospice and Transition to Betterness.

“I believe with all my heart that when a community comes together, anything is possible,” said Mercato Food Fest and Mane Event chairperson Gloria Cavenago, who is no stranger to supporting the Windsor Essex Hospice and T2B. Both organizations are dedicated to providing comfort and support to those individuals and their families impacted by a life-altering diagnosis.

“With Hospice expanding to our county and my continuous commitment to T2B, there was no better time than now to bring back this event,” said Gloria of her original head-shaving challenge events from the past.

Gloria feels that with the support that T2B has given to Leamington District Memorial Hospital, coupled with the soon-to-be establishing Hospice Village in Leamington that “we truly are changing how each of our families will face cancer and other life-altering diseases.”

“My wish is for cancer to be cured and for anyone leaving this life to do so in a peaceful, beautiful way surrounded by infinite love,” said Gloria. “We still have some work to do, but with the community’s support we can make sure our loved ones are comfortable and surrounded by everything they need.”

LDSS to host scientific summit Algae blooms to be the topic of conversation

Leamington District Secondary School’s EcoTeam has dipped its toes into the environmental waters, hosting a summit addressing the harmful algae blooms in Lake Erie.

On Wednesday, May 20, the LDSS students will bring together a very diverse group of speakers in a co-operative working session, exploring the problems created by the blooms, the impact on our region and innovative solutions and government initiatives to battle this colourful and damaging phenomenon.

Among the anticipated speakers will be Raj Bejankiwar, International Joint Commission scientist, Essex MP Jeff Watson, and Rick Masse, Mayor of Pelee Island.

The Algae Bloom Summit will be held at the Leamington Marina Pavilion from 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at a cost of $10 per person which includes lunch.

Space is limited. Registrants are asked to RSVP to lisa.jeffery@publicboard.ca. Organizers ask that when reserving spot at the summit, indicate your affiliation (citizen, student, municipal employee, etc.).

Best Blooming Street 2014 Residents of Erie Glen Crescent were invited for the unveiling of their new street sign, which heralds their 2014 Best Blooming Street title as part of the Communities in Bloom 5-Bloom provincial ranking. Charlie Wright, co-organizer of Leamington Communities in Bloom committee unveiled the sign along with fellow committee members. A sign was also placed on Deer Run Road as the 2014 Best Blooming Street (rural).

Nautilus, Oceana or perhaps Poseidon (Continued from Page 4) same group of people as last year. We are in planning stages already in order to make this an even better visit and celebration. Knowing each individual means that we can fine-tune our service making each person’s experience unique. Kids books for the little ones, chilled coconut water, lots of ice and more special gifts of service will await them. Soon I will start working on the annual scavenger

hunt along with other fun tournaments for this game-loving group.

Mark is working on getting the fountain at the main house working. It has been filled with 4 feet of sand for over 20 years now. The crew dug it out and Mark and I have patched and repaired. Unfortunately, it seems as though a copper pipe that runs through an 8-foot high concrete wall is kinked somewhere. It will be a real feat to get working.

We are not sure if the water god holding a sea creature is

Nautilus, Oceana or maybe even Poseidon, but when the sea cow that he is holding butt flows with water, it will truly be a reason to celebrate! How’s that visual? I will post pictures on Facebook and you can let me know what you think.

The summer heat is here and the ocean is warming up to the temperature that Mark and I love. We are spoiled, but after a long day’s work it’s just what the doctor would order.

Pictured here, from left to right, are Jean Penner, volunteering from Collins Barrow; Ashley Incitti, Leamington Store Manager; Josh Medeiros; Grimace; Mercedes DaParteira, McHappy Day Coordinator; and (SUN Photo) Rachel Doyne. Leamington McDonalds raised $11,342.

Volunteer this summer Believe it or not, summer is fast approaching. Students will be home, teachers will be off, new retirees will be trying to figure out what to do next!

“Summer is a great time to add some volunteering to your agenda,” says Noreen Wiebe, Volunteer Services Program Leader at South Essex Community Council (SECC).

“We will be looking in particular for volunteers for our cultural festival Mosaic, which will take place July 24-26 in Leamington. Students and adults alike can apply for positions including helping with publicity and venue hosting.”

Summer is also a great time to do some tutoring. If helping adults learn English is something that appeals to you, SECC is a great place to apply your interest. Even if you are home for the summer and cannot necessarily volunteer all year, students greatly benefit from a few months of tutoring.

SECC will be hosting a Summer Volunteering Information Open House on Tuesday, May 26 from 2:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.-8 p.m. It will be held at SECC’s Leamington location at 215 Talbot St. East. For more information call SECC at 519-326-8629 or email volunteer@secc.on.ca. Tutoring Program Leaders will be on hand to answer any questions about tutoring adults.

Music at the Marina starts June 1 Music Monday at the Marina begins for the summer season on June 1 with Musical Mates Brad and Lynn Bailey. These free concerts are from approximately 6:30-8:00 p.m., weather permitting.

Bring your lawn chairs and possibly some mosquito repellant, relax and enjoy a variety of secular and gospel music.

The last Monday at the Marina will likely be September 7. For further info contact Brad or Lynn at 519-326-4825.

The Southpoint Sun - 9

New plan for birthing services in Leamington (Continued from Front) explained Expert Panel Chair Bonnie Adamson. “We built a plan for low risk patients that brings together all the services needed; working as a team to coordinate prenatal, birth and postnatal services… It builds on the strengths you have,” said Adamson.

The Navigation Centre Hub will be one-stop from beginning to end and will coordinate all services involved in the process. The plan includes a three-bed labour, delivery and recovery postpartum unit at the ready at LDMH (Turn on the Lights) and the capacity to deal with obstetrical emergencies. A one number system will activate the Turn on the Lights. When no babies are being delivered the unit will be closed. The one number call to the hospital switchboard will activate the unit. Staff will be on call, at the ready for delivery. The idea of a one number trigger to open the birthing unit is already used by EMS for stroke victims – a one number call to the hospital switchboard activates a specialized team to respond by the time the patient arrives.

“Many operational questions will be worked through,” said ESC LHIN board chairman Martin Girash. “You’ll (mothers) be a participant in developing the operational details,” he added.

Sandra Dick, a founding member of Save OB Leamington isn’t completely sold on the model just yet. “I’m thrilled that we’re keeping something here, but it will all depend how it’s implemented… The devil’s in the details; it’s how it’s implemented. I still have a lot of questions,” said Dick.

“I think they really nailed all the key points… They said it was unacceptable to close completely; they nailed that,” said Save OB Leamington member Kimberly DeYong.

Peter Neufeld, Leamington’s Chief Administrative Officer and a member of the Expert Panel, is excited for the possibilities the new model can have for Leamington and area. “I’m happy that we’ll be maintaining birthing in Leamington… Change management is exhausting. We have to find ways to get people to embrace the change and not be afraid to try something different,” said Neufeld.

Neufeld was very impressed with his fellow Expert Panel members. “They were true experts. I can’t tell you how much thought and research went into this… It was a great experience for me,” he said.

The Leamington model, as the idea has been dubbed, is being watched closely across the province as it could be adapted to be used in other areas.

The Expert Panel met with 26 individuals and groups.

Among those groups, 13 different cultural groups were recognized in Leamington and area. “I had no idea what to expect, but the very intense analysis of the community was the highlight of their work; the multitude of diversity.

I have an appreciation of this process; the process of finding out the characteristics of this community,” said Girash.

“We were told Leamington was an aging population… It was the Mayor of Leamington that brought to our attention at the last meeting that they are not marketing the area for seniors; they’re looking for young families and there was a big need for birthing services… The Panel dug into that and dug into the diverse needs of this community,” said Girash. In fact, the Panel found that there had been a 15 percent increase in the number of births at LDMH over the past three years, from 269 in 2012 to 370 in 2014.

Chatham-Kent Essex MPP Rick Nicholls described the concept recommended in the Expert Panel report as trailblazing, and of interest to all Ontario.

The ESC LHIN passed a motion requiring LDMH to proceed with the integration described and to continue to provide obstetrics services and to work with the LHIN and its partners in examining the new Navigation Centre model, as proposed by the Expert Panel, and the redesign of birthing services at LDMH; to develop a transition plan, communication plan, and operating plan for implementation in respect to this integration. A time frame of having the model in place by March 31, 2016 was recommended.

The public has 30 days (to June 3) to comment on the report online at www.eriestclairlhin.on.ca or by mail by using the form available on the website. Following the 30-day written submission process, the ESC LHIN Board will convene a follow-up meeting to announce the final decision.

“The Local Health Integrated Network – this whole process is exactly what the local health part of the Local Health Integration Network is all about,” stated ESC LHIN Board member Barb Bjarneson.

ANNIE & ROD CAPPS Saturday, May 23

Bank Theatre and Arts Centre combine to present the opera Pat & Emilia in Leamington Opera at Knox Presbyterian Church June 20

The highly acclaimed mixed-media chamber opera Pat & Emilia, which had its premiere in Windsor and its U.S. premiere in Detroit this March will be presented by The Bank Theatre and the Leamington Arts Center on Saturday, June 20 at 7:30 p.m.

It will take place at the off site location for The Bank Theatre, the Knox Presbyterian Church on Erie St south.

The opera Pat & Emilia is in two acts: the first act has been conceived by soprano and creative director Tara Sievers-Hunt, who sings the role of Italian opera soprano Emilia Cundari(1930-2005). It consists of familiar and well-loved opera arias, which will be a joy for music lovers to hear, and monologues, based on many articles and interviews about Cundari.

The second act is the story of photographer Pat Sturn (1910-2011) with soprano Jocelyn Zelasko in the opera, on an original text by Windsor poet Marty Gervais and music

by Ontario composer Jeff Smallman. It makes one think of a French Impressionist painting.

The piece shows the difficult choices these two amazing artists, who were friends, made with their lives and careers.

Film at Leamington Arts Centre May 28

At the Leamington Arts Centre on Thursday, May 28 at 7 p.m there will be a showing of “Imagining Angels”, which is the movie about the making of the opera Pat & Emilia.

Former CBC journalists Pat Jeflyn and Kim Kristy documented the various events of the Pat Sturn/Emilia Cundari Project. They made a movie about the making of the opera Pat & Emilia, which they called Imagining Angels (title inspired by Marty Gervais’ original text for the opera). It was shown at the Windsor International Film Festival 2014 and the Toronto Short Film Festival in March 2015.

It is the perfect introduction to the opera and will want to make you come and see the opera on June 20 at Knox Presbyterian Church.

A video made by Marty Gervais about photographer Pat Sturn will also be shown.

The producers of the documentary will be present as well as some of the principals of the opera.

Tickets for the performance of the opera will be sold during the film night at a discounted price.

Tickets are also available at: http://www.ticketscene.ca/ events/12532/or call 519-252-0212.

These two have done it all; from rock to musical theatre and while they continue to draw from a wide range of genres and influences, what comes out is a hybrid sound all their own. The following has been written about their CD, “My Blue Garden.”

“With ‘My Blue Garden’, Annie and Rod Caps have proven themselves to be master gardeners in the area of Contemporary folk. All of the songs on the album are stand-outs.” -Lilli Kuzma.

Historical Society preparing for upcoming events

The Southpoint Sun - 11

Leamington Clean-up Challenge in June

At their April meeting the Leamington and Mersea Historical Society indicated they were preparing for several upcoming events. The meeting was well attended and a number of events were discussed.

One of those is the Society’s Yard Sale which will take place on Sat. May 30 at the Leamington Half Century Centre, 160 Talbot St. E., from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

As well, the Society is preparing an exhibit for the annual Leamington Fair to be held in June. If all goes well, VP Bob McCracken will have another one of his creations unveiled to the public.

This year the Society’s annual historical trip will occur on Wed. July 8. The group will travel from Kingsville to Amherstburg and subsequently across the Detroit River to BobLo Island to see the restored Block House. There are only 23 seats available, so make your plans early. The price has not been set yet but will be forthcoming and anyone may attend.

The annual Leamington Clean-up Challenge will be held 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, which includes up to 10 garbage bags and pairs of gloves.

Organizations must register their date and time, and location of the clean-up by calling the Recreation, Tourism and Culture Office at 519-322-2337. There are numerous locations throughout Leamington and groups can register for any date or time that is convenient for them.

1974 Triumph TR6 never driven in winter A letter arrived from Don Osadec of St. Catharines: “Hi Bill. I have owned a few classic British sports cars much of my adult life. I am now 76 and my first car was a 1955 MGTF which I restored to showroom condition. Next, a few years later, I bought Note location of gas filler cap and flags on either side of license plate. a 1968 TR4A-IRS which needed extensive work.

“My present car is a 1974 TR6. This car did not need any extensive restoration, only a little cosmetic attention to clean it up. The body, paint, and chrome are original and in very good condition. Only the top, interior, and clutch have been replaced.

“The car originally came from Seattle, Washington, went to Calgary, Alberta, then to Brampton, Ontario, where I found it in 2004. It has never been driven on sand, salt, or snow its whole life, and I have been caught in the rain only twice in 10 years. The engine is a 2498 c.c., 152 cubic inch straight 6 with dual Weber side draft carburetors, dual Monza free-flow exhaust system, 4-speed transmission and independent rear suspension.

“My wife and I belong to the Niagara British Car Club, where you can see many classic British cars of all years and types. In the car’s present condition, it has been appraised at $18,500. Only 194,000 of the TR6 models have been built from 1969 to 1976.”

The “TR” label is short for “Triumph”, a nameplate that goes back to 1923 in the British automotive industry. The company had been making motorcycles since 1903 but decided twenty years later to jump into the booming automobile field. The first of the “T” series began with the Triumph TR2 in 1953, followed soon by the TR3. All these early ones had “cut down” doors, a very distinctive styling feature.

The cut-down design ended with the arrival of the TR4 in 1961, followed by the TR5 in 1967 and the TR6 in 1968, which in turn was replaced after 1976 by the TR7. The TR6 owned by Don Osadec has disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. The ones built for export to North America used carburetion whereas the ones built for the U.K. and other markets were fuel-injected. These models, according to Autocar magazine, could go from 0-60 in 8.2 seconds and with a top speed of 120 mph.

For whatever reason, the most easily-accessible chanBRYAN nel in the satellite television package that my family has JESSOP is a station based in Boston.

On one of the rare occasions where the little dish wasn’t hauling in Team Umi Zoomi, Octonauts, Bubble Guppies, Trucktown, Mike the Knight and Toopy and BiJessop’s noo via Treehouse, I actually had the chance to take in Journal some of my own cartoon favourites — The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers (no, my taste in television programming never really matured all that much). Anyway, one of the commercials was promoting a rather unique marketing pitch for an eastern Massachusetts business selling patio furniture. For a limited time, anyone who spends x-number of dollars on a table, umbrella and chairs set will have the chance to get every red cent (they still have those in the U.S.) they spend back. No, it’s not through a scratch-and-win card. Nope, not a lottery-style draw or raffle. Your patio set eventually becomes free if the Red Sox win the World Series.

Even my wife — who probably thinks a short stop has to be a player under a certain height — thought it was a bizarre sales strategy. Sure, we’ve all heard of prizes awarded to a fan who’s name is drawn IF a certain hockey team scores on the next power play, but this one kind of caught me off guard.

Upon completion of the 2014 season, Boston’s projected odds of winning it all in 2015 was pegged from 22-1 to about 28-1 by different odds makers. The Red Sox missed the playoffs last year, finishing dead last in the AL East at 71-91. Major League Baseball’s 2014 campaign was a freak of nature, though. The routine laughing stock that is the Kansas City Royals grabbed a wild card spot and then went the distance to lose the final in seven games to the San Francisco Giants — another wild card team.

To ring in the 2015 season, the Red Sox’ odds improved to 10-1 — declared the best shot at winning the AL pennant. I’m sure those numbers have worsened since the ceremonial opening-game pitch, as the team is again tied for last in the AL East as I type these words (Monday morning, May 11). Then again, KC is being a ‘Royal’ pain in the you-know-what for my Tigers and is actually leading the American League with a 20-11 record. Elsewhere, everything is pretty much normal — St. Louis is red hot, Baltimore sucks again, Toronto is hovering at .500 and Tampa can’t draw a crowd no matter how well they play.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember if the patio furniture company was offering money back on ALL purchases in the event of a Red Sox title or if there would be a draw… I was impatiently waiting to see if the Belcher family had in fact wandered into the summer home of a cold-blooded killer and I wasn’t planning a trip to the Beantown area any time soon, so I wasn’t really paying attention. It could be a pretty costly autumn if the deal is open to every customer. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be a very appealing promotion otherwise — the team’s 3.5 games out of a wild card spot and only a CHANCE to win that money back IF this sub-.500 team wins the World Series? That had better be some REALLY good patio furniture.

As mentioned very recently, I’m not much of a gambler, especially when it comes to sports. I’ve lost a sum of $20 in two consecutive NHL playoff pools (I would have already lost this year, based on how my Round 2 picks are going so far). During the Windsor Star’s first-ever NHL regular season ‘draft’ competition (where you pick one player from each of several groups of five or six choices), I was actually doing fairly well around mid season. I had to enter using my father’s name because I wasn’t old enough to participate at the time (man, does THAT seem like a million years ago). The sports pages displayed the rankings one per week, I seem to recall, and at one point, dad’s name was as high as fifth among the hundreds of entries. We started descending on the list from there — not as quickly as the Leafs after Christmas, but far enough down that any hopes of winning a prize disappeared.

I’ve never even considered taking part in Proline or anything of the sorts — mostly because of what it would cost to my pride. As far as pro sports fantasy pools go, that would be even worse. In a nationally-promoted version, I’d have to enter via an alias, as most people do anyway. Again, not out of fear of identity theft, but rather to spare myself from large-scale ridicule.

Then again, you’ve seen my NHL playoff picks.

The Southpoint Sun - 15

U5 soccer off to a great start

This year’s winning professional at the annual Erie Shores Pro-Am was Matt Di Paolo (centre).

He is pictured with Ryan Peltier (left), head professional at Erie Shores, and Darell Langille (right).

Erie Shores hosts Pro-Am

The 20th Annual Erie Shores Pro-Am took place on May 2 under beautiful sunny skies and warm weather. The event, an annual tradition for local professionals and amateurs alike, was sold out this year with 30 teams (120 players).

The golf course was in mid-season form, even after a slow start to the season due to the cold grips of winter. Golf course superintendent Mike Toth worked his magic and had the facility in pristine conditions as players raved about the wonderful course conditions.

Players enjoyed a wonderful meal in the clubhouse after the round.

This year’s winning professional was Matt Di Paolo. Matt grew up in the area playing junior golf and is now a PGA of America Professional at Coyote Golf Club in Michigan.

Matt shot a -4 (67) and also had the shot of the day with a hole in one on the 16th hole.

The winning team, and defending champions, consisted of professional Brian Hadley and amateurs Mike Molitor, Claude Hadley and Paul Spivey. The team fired a -19 (123) in this modified best ball format.

The generosity of the sponsors who helped make this event a success is greatly appreciated.

Hardworking volunteers who donated their time to assist with the Erie Shores ProAm were Darell Langille, Ron Brinnacomb, Garry Moss, Anne Badz, Diana Jones, Gail Brown, Orest Hryenwich, Don Chalcraft and Don Mensch. Working in the background is Kim deJong, who not only puts in 100% effort but also works overtime to make everything happen. Organizers are extremely lucky to have her on board to tie up the loose ends that get overlooked.

Progs golfers start new season May 5 was a wet, windy and cold day, and over 40 golfers braved the weather and showed the course that they need a little more practice. Come on, guys, the league was at minus 148 for the first day of progs – it can only get better! One group, Team C, didn’t have one player with a plus rating.

There were a few golfers, however, that weren’t fazed by the weather. Richard Segedin had a +6, Matt Dick +5 and Neil Sawatzky also had +5. Well done, guys.

Winning team members were Misters Martin, Wilkinson, Tremblay, Herring, Rutgers, Shaften, Penner, Thomson, Herbert, Segedin, Shack, Roberts and Stackpoole.

There were only 2 skins won – congratulations goes out to Bob Park and Gary McRae. Bob Park also had the distinction of being the first person of the season to win the “3 putt snake award”.

Whoever golfs with Bob next week will also have the opportunity to win this prestigious award.

Kudos go out to Peter Andary and his adventures with his GPS, Ryan’s golf umbrella and the pond. Word is out that hopefully he will be able to get the right course

on his GPS for next week’s round.

See you next week on the course, proggers, when everyone is sure to be shooting their best round of the year.

After two games some members of Timbits #2 are already showing improvement. Kylie Bennett was less tentative and began going after the ball. Lincoln Kniaziew has demonstrated good skill moving the ball down the field. Goals have been scored by a number of players – Kayde Grossi, Connor Mackell and Landyn Fazekas.

For Timbits #3, Corbin showed amazing passing skills in the warm-up and Savannah played very good defence.

Dario Verissimo from Timbits #4 scored 3 goals last game, had good ball control and dribbling. Charlie Ketler also scored 2 goals, both coming from nice hard shots. He also had good dribbling and ball control. Evan Ketler had a great game defensively, getting the ball back from the other team and stopped the other team from scoring with an awesome slide tackle. Carter Kretschmann made a few good runs down the flanks and made some good passes.

Timbits #5 had a fun and busy game last Monday night! Gavin Butinello was great on offense, taking the ball to the net many times.

Brady George had awesome energy throughout the game helping out his teammates.

Great job Timbits #5.

In the first game for Timbits #6, Hudson Ferreira was

a firecracker and his excitement was contagious. It was great for the team to meet so many new friends. Lizzeth Herrera worked very hard as well. In the second game, with each team only having 8 players, the teams played 4 versus 4. Amira Hemida did lots of running having about 5 breakaways. Nolan Bruette had some great shots on net!

Timbits 7 had a great first game and effort from all! Morgan Reiter scored a great goal and had some other great scoring opportunities. There was some fancy footwork on the field between Jayden Kay and Santiago Perez. Great start to the season Timbits #10 has started the year off with a bang. At the first 2 games, Payton and Luca carried the ball down the field for goals. Owen chased down a few people who were headed toward the net. Aubree has been right in

the middle of many plays, kicking the ball out from a crowd of people.

For the Timbits #13, the Saturday game went well.

The star player was Jeremiah Martens and he had very good control of the ball and listened to instructions well.

The game on Monday didn’t go as well as the last one, but the kids tried their best and had a lot of fun. The opposing team did really well and Timbits #13 team could barely keep the ball on the other side.

Timbits #14 played a hard game last Monday.

Great teamwork was shown throughout the game and lots of energy was shown, especially by Johnny Ramos. A big congratulations goes out to Sharlee Giroux for coming so close to getting her first goal of the season! Even though Team #14 lost by a few points, they still made the coaches proud! Keep up the good work.

Sizzling scores for TT seniors

By Bob McLean

a mere one shot back with his noteworthy 45. Homer Vandervecht produced a very commendable 46. Fine 47s were shot by Neil Adamson, Vic Reynaert and Bill Derbyshire. Satisfying 48s came from Pete Daudlin, Mac Hyatt, Al Zanuttini and Jay Pinch. Four golfers who achieved nifty 50 status were Tom Sasso, Gary Benninger, Ray La Pierre and Murray Knox.

Rick Thompson hit an impressive shot on #9 to within 8 feet of the pin to earn closest to the pin. Martin Girash converted a 15-footer on #2 to take the long putt honours.

There were 7 birdies recorded. After a shaky start, John Liddell settled down to fire birdies on #1 and

On a somewhat cool, damp May 5th, 47 senior league members attacked the Talbot Trail course.

Jim “Dutchy” Hawrylyk led everyone by firing a spectacular 36. Ageless Tom Hyatt continued his excellent play by shooting a 40. Both Jim Pearson and Bob McLean equaled Tom’s effort. Two golfers who earned terrific 41s were Ross Clark and Bill Ward.

Outstanding 42s were shot

by Don Willan and John Liddell. Bob Patchett and Mike Getty matched each other with their superb 43s.

Four golfers who merited very praiseworthy 44s were Paul R. Brown, Paul Harrison, Bob Freure and Joe Vertel. Rick Thompson was

by Jay Pinch, Dutchy and Don Willan.

With warm weather and clear blue skies the league should see more past members playing. New participants are welcome to join this player friendly league.

Play is still at 10 a.m. until May 26th when it begins at 9 a.m. Try to be at the course at least a half hour before tee off!

Stop the Top: You must hit down on the ball so that you strike the ball first and then take a divot in front of where the ball was. The ball will spin backwards using the dimples to catch the air and lift it up. Start with a sand or pitching wedge and practice hitting down on the ball. As you gain renewed confidence go to the longer clubs. Soon you’ll stop the top!

Races cancelled due to rain Rain forced the cancellation of Saturday night’s racing action at South Buxton Raceway.

The track conducted its second Hall of Fame inductions in a pre-race ceremony but only one race was complete when rain began falling.

The infield crew used several tow trucks and maintenance vehicles in an attempt to try to save the racing surface but to no avail as rain was still falling at 8 p.m. when track officials made the cancellation call.

It was the first complete rainout since August 2013.

Racing will resume this Saturday, May 16 with racing in all five classes beginning at 7 p.m.

Erie Shores hosts opening kick-off On one of the warmest opening days ever, Brian Humphreys picked up where he left off last September when he won the Closing Field Day by firing a one under par round of 70 to win the Annual Erie Shores Opening KickOff. As the only golfer shooting in the red, Humphreys had a 3-stroke margin of victory over Ken Steingart and Ken Cobby who both finished 3 stokes back at 2 over par 73.

Nick Colasanti was alone in fourth place with his 3 over par score of 74, while Tim Towle finished in fifth spot with his round of 75.

Kevin Babkirk and Van Tan were next with their 5 over par scores of 76, while Ward Hutchins and Andy Herring both finished tied in eighth place with rounds of 6 over par 77. Other players breaking 80 included Neil Sawatzky and Ken Segedin at 78 and Steven George at 79.

In the low net category for the men, Ken Cobby finished on top with a net score of 66, 2 strokes ahead of Joe Moavaro who had a net 68. Steven George and Bob Dick were next with net 71s.

On the ladies side there was a 3-way tie for first place with Linda Segedin, Debbie Dunmore and Nancy Flynn all finishing with rounds of 15 over par 87. By retrogression, Linda Segedin was declared the overall winner.

In the low net category, Lisa Sawatzky won top honours with a net round of 74, while Nancy Flynn was next at 76. Diane Penner and Debbie Kobayashi finished tied for third with net scores of 80.

In the Four-Ball Net Best-Ball category, the team of Wayne Gillett, Dan Musuronchan, Tim Towle and Ken Cobby were the overall winners shooting a 14 under par net 57 to finish one stroke ahead of the team of Kevin George, Lucas George, Jeff Raffoul and Steven George who had a net 58.

The team of Chris Warkentin, Mike McDonald, Ryan Harder and Joe Moavaro finished third at 60.

Sadler steps down as Flyers’ GM

Spring Sprint returning to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop After four successful years, Mike Sadler has decided to step down as general manager of the Leamington Flyers.

Sadler and the Flyers are parting ways on amicable terms, as the 69-year-old Cottam resident simply decided that the time had come to scale back on his involvement with junior hockey.

“I’m not exactly 40 anymore,” Sadler explained. “With the competitiveness of off-ice recruiting and the bureaucracy of the game, it’s just been wearing down on me. I can’t say enough about the people I’ve been involved with here. Abe and Jake Fehr have done an outstanding job with this team and I’m a great believer in the way Tony (Piroski) coaches.

I’ve had no issues at all. I can’t say enough about the resources made available to Tony and I.” Sadler will be replaced by current assistant general manager Kevin Hopper, who has worked alongside him since he joined the Flyers to start the 2011-12 season. Sadler will assist Hopper with the transition from his official departure date of June 1 to the end of July.

“He (Hopper) didn’t get the credit he deserved,” Sadler noted, referring to the Flyers’ back-to-back Western Conference

Leamington Flyers general manager Mike Sadler presents the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Hugh McLean Award for 2014-15 regular season top scorer to the Chatham Maroons’ Brennan Feasey during its Western Conference Awards Banquet at The Portuguese Club Monday, Feb. 23. Sadler recently announced that he will be stepping down as the Flyers’ GM, effective June 1.

championships. “He’s always been very efficient. I couldn’t be happier with what he’s done for this team.”

Sadler will remain with the Flyers to take care of a few routine, end-of-season duties, including planning for next year’s schedule. He explained that afterwards, he might remain with the team in an advisory role.

Sadler joined the Flyers after deciding to reduce his scouting role with the Ontario Hockey League’s Rangers, whom he and other scouting personnel joined along with coach Peter DeBoer upon his switch from the Plymouth Whalers to Kitchener. Later deciding that the scouting position wasn’t right for him at the time, Sadler took the advice of Piroski — a long-time friend — and spoke with the Fehr brothers about an opportunity to join the Flyers.

“I’ve got no regrets,” Sadler said about joining Leamington’s Junior B team a year after it was purchased by the Fehrs.

“Abe and Jake really turned things around — seeing the community re-embrace the team has been one of my best memories.”

Sadler’s first behind-the-scenes role in competitive hockey began with the 1970-’71 Essex juvenile team, where Piroski played goaltender. At the time, Piroski’s brother Terry was that team’s head coach. From there, Sadler spent about eight years with the fledgling Great Lakes Junior C Essex 73’s and four years in a management position with the University of Windsor Lancers hockey team. His portfolio also includes scouting with the OHL’s Central Bureau for nine years before joining the Peterborough Petes for approximately five years, prior to scouting for the Whalers.

Sadler began pondering stepping down as Flyers GM during the 2014-15 season, a decision he has not made without a great deal of consideration.

“It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing,” he said. “I’ve been surrounded by some great people here. It was just time to go.”

Sadler described recruiting players and then seeing them develop and become successful as some of his best memories with the Flyers. He continues to be in contact with several of the players who have since moved on from the teams he has represented over the past four decades.

“That’s the nice thing about hockey — running into players from 40 years ago and they still remember those games.

Those memories never fade. That’s the beauty of the game.”

Sadler may continue to represent the Rangers on a part-time basis and as an area scout for the NHL’s Central Scouting.

“We’ll see how those things unfold over the summer,” he explained.

By Bryan Jessop The second annual South Shore Spring Sprint will once again walk, run and cycle its way through town.

The five-kilometre fundraiser will take place Saturday, May 30 with a 9 a.m. start time for this year’s participants. Last year’s inaugural SSSS quickly established itself as the largest annual generator of proceeds for the South Shore Christian School, which shares a roof with Calvary Fellowship Baptist Church at 475 Bevel Line. The 2014 Spring Sprint raised $15,000 to help the school offset its operating costs, thanks to a lengthy list of local sponsors and the 174 entries who signed up for the 5 km route or the Kids’ 1 km Fun Run. For this year, the event’s organizing committee of eight school parent volunteers hopes to surpass the 2014 mark with a sum of $20,000. A portion of the proceeds from the second SSSS will be donated to Little Hands Kids For a Cause, a local organization that supports the families of children with serious illnesses who are treated in Essex County and London hospitals. During this year’s Spring Sprint, Little Hands representatives and volunteers will sell lemonade and t-shirts.

The group also hopes to bring as many ‘Little Hands Heroes’ as possible to take part in an honourary walk or jog through the starting/finish area.

“We want to be involved in our community and help others when ever we get the chance,” explained organizing committee spokesperson Sharon Arthurs-Pepper.

For more information on Little Hands Kids For a Cause, visit their website www.littlehandskids.org.

Last year, about 55 youths 12 and under took part in the Kids’ 1 km Fun Run. Once again, all entries in the younger category will receive a t-shirt, racer’s bib and medal. The early bird registration fee — available up until May 9 — is $37 per person while the price to register after May 9 is $40 per person. The family rate is $80 with the early bird rate and $85 at the regular rate and applies to groups of two adults and up to three youths 12 years of age and under.

Those interested in taking part in the second annual South Shore Spring Sprint can register online at www. southshorecs.ca up until 4 p.m. May 27 or on site from 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. during race day. The event’s headquarters will be at the Erie Street South waterfront promenade near the flagpoles — the same start and finish location used by the annual Tomatoman Triathlon.

The SSSS is being organized in conjunction with Walkers and Runners Around the County of Essex (WRACE) and will feature chip timing for its runners, joggers, walkers and cyclists. Post-race refreshments and prizes will be made available at the start/finish area.

Prizes will be awarded to the top two finishers of each category, separated by gender and age brackets of racers in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and so on.

As of May 4, more than 60 local businesses and organizations stepped forward in support of this year’s Spring Sprint — each to be have its name or logo included on the event’s official t-shirts.

Sponsors will make contributions to goodie bags to be given to each registrant while Orangeline Farms will offer healthy snacks. Donated baked goods are being offered by Lakeside Bakery, Freshco Kingsville and the Real Canadian Superstore of Leamingotn.

“We really appreciate the support from local businesses,” said Arthurs-Pepper. “It’s overwhelming. We’re very pleased that people see the need for alternative education.”

Hole-in-one at Talbot Trail On a gorgeous Friday, May 8 Jim Chopchik (left), playing with his dad Larry, aced the par 3 number 9, the hole formerly known as the ANT Hill at Wheatley’s Talbot Trail Golf Club. In doing so, Jim also made up a 6-shot disadvantage on the last hole to edge his dad by a single shot.

(Submitted photo)

Fifty-four golfers enjoyed an absolute beautiful day of golf on Monday, May 11. Because the course was doing green aeration work on the back 9, the league played the front 9 twice.

Mike Wright won the first 50/50 of $16 while Fred Klassen won the second at $11.

Barry Miller managed to put his name on the closest to pin on #3 twice, only to be beat out by Frank Mazzara who played in the same foursome. Frank won $18 for his fine shot.

Longest putt for $18 was won by John Rutgers on #6, while Heinz Kosempel won it on #9.

First place team at 162 was John Rutgers, Paul Nielsen, Mush (Dan) and Ernie Schmidtgall.

Second place at 172 was Gord Anderson, Ed Schackoskoy, Guy McIntyre and Brent Metz.

Third place of 177 went to Heinz Kosempel, Barry Miller, Frank Mazzara and Garth Dennerley.

Four birds were recorded on #2 by Henry Hildebrandt, Ron Tremblay, Larry Lucier and Ernie Schmidtgall.

Midget Minors open with a 3-3 tie The Leamington Midget Minor Lakers opened their baseball season last Wednesday in Tecumseh and battled to a 3-3 tie.

Nursing a 3-1 lead, the Lakers gave up a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to settle for the draw.

Aidan Massad, Kameron Wall, Jared Klein, Lucas Lamotte, Kyle Nisbet and Ryan Wall took to the mound, each pitching one inning.

“I was impressed with our pitching.”

“Every player in the line-up got on base at least once,” pointed out coach Chris Lamotte. “I was very pleased with our first outing.”

Velocity 18U volleyball team won gold to bring home the SWO championship. Team members are, front left to right: Brooke Lippert, Makayla Snell, Jorder Fehr, Calvin Wongsuna. Back row: Trella Garcia (of Wheatley), Robert Botham, Derek Toews, Kevin Fehr, Daniel Warkentin, Allan Botham, Josh Remigio, Jim Konrad (club director). The team won the match two sets to one to take their first SWO championship in club history.

18U volleyball takes gold at SWO championships Sunday, May 4 was championship day for the SWO 18U volleyball league, taking place in Walkerton. Velocity was ranked first overall going into the championships, thanks to a successful run at the three previous league tournaments where they were first each time.

Velocity started the day very well, competing against St. Thomas, Big Bruce and the Iron Spikes in round robin pool play. Velocity did not drop a set and completed the first round in first place in their pool. Due to a double elimination knockout they matched up with the first-place team in pool B for the quarter-finals.

Stratford Warriors and Velocity faced off in the quarters. Being the #2 and #1 ranked teams, the match was a back and forth effort of big hits, blocks and digs. Velocity came out on top in two straight in the tight match.

Velocity then faced the #3 ranked team, Wingham, where a well executed strategy saw Velocity come out very strong as they shut down Wingham.

Velocity took the semi-final match in two straight, dominating at the net and on defence.

The win over Wingham sent Velocity to the A Division gold medal match for the first time in club history.

Velocity met Stratford with both teams eager to prove they deserved to take home the gold. Veloc-

ity stormed out with a huge block on the initial point and set the tone for a very verbal and loud match. Velocity began to look a bit timid and the well-fought first set ultimately went to Stratford 22/25.

After some warnings from the refs about the cheers used to motivate each team, the match got down to business with some great rallies, hits and defence played out on both sides.

Velocity took back momentum in the second set, winning 25/19 and setting up for a well-deserved third and final set as parents, coaches and fans watched.

In the final set Velocity showed they wanted the win, racing to an 8/4 side change with a great dig by Calvin Wongsuna, which transitioned into a huge kill by middle Derek Toews. On the side change, Velocity never let up and dominated the second part of the set winning 15/9.

The SWO league has agreed to expand its host locations, naming Leamington for at least one event next season.

Konrad commented on the impact it will have.

“Sports tourism is a reality here in Leamington and Velocity is committed to help bring larger events to this area to ensure positive economic impact. The support of the SWO league is a big step in the right direction,” said Konrad.

The visiting Royals won 2-1, bringing the Cougars’ final regular season record to 1-7-0. Gioia DiCiocco scored the lone Cardinal Carter goal in the second half to bring her team to within a goal. A playoff schedule for WECSSAA senior girls’ 2A soccer had not been created by press deadline.
