Students at St. Louis Catholic School use building blocks to build structures and determine what the cost would be based on a specific price of each block. Named “Build It,” the station was one of 15 designed to show students and caregivers that math can be fun and rewarding during the school’s Math Carnival Thursday, May 7.

St. Louis hosts Math Carnival

By Bryan Jessop St. Louis Catholic Elementary School is making efforts to bridge the ‘divide’ between fun and fractions and the fruits of its labour are starting to ‘add’ up.

In an effort to make one of elementary education’s most intimidating subjects more appealing to students, St. Louis hosted its first-ever Math Carnival Thursday, May 7. The event took place at the school and was attended by about 200 students of all grades and 70 families. The carnival was organized to help parents get involved and assist their children with the school board’s math curriculum as well as to show students that mathematics can be a fulfilling and even enjoyable subject.

“We’re trying to show students and parents that math can be fun,” explained St. Louis principal Kelly Rilley.

“Math can be an area of weakness for everyone. It’s a part of everyday life, but people don’t have to be afraid of it.”

In the early stages of planning the carnival, Rilley and other St. Louis staff members were hoping to see between 100 and 150 students — about half the school’s JK to Grade 8 population — attend the 90-minute event. With last-minute registrations, organizers saw their expectations exceeded.

“I’m thrilled with the turnout,” Rilley said. “We’re always happy to have parents get involved with the school’s

activities and to let them be a part of our community.”

The carnival featured 15 activity stations situated throughout the school’s halls, classrooms and gymnasiums. Some of the attractions were geared toward specific grade groups — primary, junior or intermediate — while others were set up for students of all ages. Upon arrival, parents were given learning packages to use with their sons and daughters, complete with oversized playing cards, dice and other items to aid in the teaching process. Student and parent guests were also treated to snack items during their visits. Staff assisted with the stations on their own time as part of the carnival, presented as part of Catholic Education Week.

Organization of the carnival took place over the previous two months, with most of the preparations taken care of throughout the month of April. The event was presented to parents and students in conjunction with the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board’s focus on numeracy for the 2014-15 scholastic year, aiming at improving match scores with different techniques and events. Three days earlier, a similar gathering took place at St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic Elementary School in Kingsville. In part, the carnival was presented as a means of familiarizing parents with ‘new math’ teaching strategies.

Your public persona could get you canned The recent viral video about the Toronto news reporter confronting a bunch of loud-mouth soccer fans brought the power of social media to the forefront and started an important discussion about sexual harassment in public and how it affects your job.

The issue in question has men interrupting a live news or sports report by running into the frame and shouting the same obscene phrase into the microphone or at least in earshot of the microphone.

A Hydro One employee lost his job over the issue last week.

The female reporter said in an interview she’d heard that phrase, which can’t be repeated here, at least 10 times that week and several hundred times over the past year or so.

She’d finally had enough and when it happened again she approached the group of men closest to her who were laughing about the incident.

The strange part is, these guys hadn’t been a part of it but proceeded to challenge her on why it was so bad, and mocked her as they mentioned vibrators and other sexual things.

With social media being what it is, it took no time at all for these two guys to be identified. The one guy had a sixfigure job at Hydro One, who promptly fired him.

I reviewed the video several times and shook my head at these two buffoons and how they reacted on live TV. The way they reacted was totally juvenile, inappropriate and obviously a very poor decision.

The question is: should someone lose their job over something they said outside of work?

There are definitely two schools of thought on this. Radio stations, blogs and even Facebook lit up with heated discussions about what should have happened to these guys for acting the way they did.

MLSE, who owns the soccer team, the Maple Leafs and the Raptors, immediately banned the two individuals for one year from any of their venues.

Hardly a punishment, considering the state of the teams at this point in time.

I applaud the reporter for finally standing up to this nonsense, which it turns out, is a fad that started a year ago in the US. One reporter even said she was doing a live feed from an elementary school and a nine-year-old boy interrupted her feed with the same vulgar phrase.

So yes, it is time to put a stop to this and the reporter did

the right thing.

Does a person deserve to lose their livelihood over what amounts to very poor judgment?

The debate rages on.

While trying not to MARK mitigate the incident, I RIBBLE think the firing is a bit of overkill.

Granted, this guy should have been arRib’s rested for public disRamblings turbance or something like that. Charged with drunk and disorderly. At the very least, a punch in the face would be justified. A suspension from his job, maybe. But firing someone for something they said outside of work is really a slippery slope.

If the guy had done something stupid that physically harmed someone, it’s still doubtful he would even lose his job unless he got charged with a crime.

But the whole bullying/harassment issue is such a hot topic, Hydro One wasted no time in reacting.

The other fellow got reprimanded by his employer, who chose to deal with their employee internally.

Either way, I’m sure they are both embarrassed, as they should be. I’m sure their friends and family can be really proud of them. How many times do you get the opportunity to get on TV and make an ass of yourself? And these guys did it up right, for the whole world to see!

A proud moment for everyone involved.

As a guy who did some reporting a few years back, I can empathize with the reporter who was simply fed up with the constant interruption and vulgarity aimed in her direction.

I never encountered anything like that, but then again, those types of people tend to shy away from male reporters, whom they know will not be intimidated and just might chase them down and knock some sense into them.

The fact is, the world is a different place these days. You have to be careful what you say out in public because it can reflect on how you perform your job and interact with people. Being a jerk in public can have its repercussions.

And losing your job in such a public way may just prevent you from catching on anywhere else.

It’s just time to use some common sense.

The trouble is, there is a complete shortage of that in the world today.

Packaged foods sometimes don’t make sense On Friday I opened up Facebook to see what everyone was up to. A lot of the time I feel as if I am scrolling through a lot of trash before I actually see anyone I recognize. As usual, one post caught my eye. It was titled “Ten Banned Foods That Everyone Should Stop Eating”. From what I have seen of the Bahamian diet, it’s no wonder that Type 2 diabetes is on a rampage.

The first item on the above mentioned list is farm-raised salmon, the type that is raised in a controlled, closed environment, and as a result high levels of PCBs, dioxins and other contaminants are found in them.

Eating fish is something many of us take for granted as we live on a Great Lake surrounded by some of the best fresh fish available. I have been blessed during my life, and now continuing here, to be surrounded by water and freshly caught fish whenever I want it. Our crew enjoys fishing, and does so on a regular basis. Strawberry grouper, parrot fish, hogfish and, if you are lucky, tuna and even more species are caught on lines, in pots and with spears.

Unfortunately, compressor diving is common amongst the men who make this their living. They have a compressor up on the boat that is attached to a line they take with them as they walk along the bottom, spearing everything in their path. These divers are able to go down and stay until they have overfished and reaped the waters of fish.

Besides knocking down the population, this type of fishing has its drawbacks. There’s nothing a shark likes better than a fisherman sitting on the bottom with a spear full of bloody fish!

Papaya is #2 on the list. Who would have known?

Thankfully, these are mostly the ones from Hawaii that have been genetically modified to resist certain diseases.

The things we do to have the perfect produce! Meanwhile,

while behind the scenes these products can secretly damage our intestines, organs, cause massive SHANNON tumours, birth defects MATHESON and more. Recently, I collected the seeds from a papaya grown on Bond’s Cay. If you Lifestyles... have cut into a papaya BROUGHT TO YOU BY: before, you know that there are enough seeds to start a small farm.

Presently, I have 10 plants growing that are not modified in any way. I can’t promise that the birds, crabs and aphids won’t get them first but time will tell.

By the looks of it, Canada is pretty good at restricting many modified products. From what I can see, they are not quite as diligent about restricting foods that are produced on their own land. Unless they are free range, pork, beef and chicken may have been given muscle enhancers, especially in the U.S. The members of our crew eat very few meat products because of the expense, and their substitutes leave little to be desired. Canned corn beef, Vienna sausage and Kraft dinner sadly are all staples.

Food that contains preservatives or dyes are horrible for you. Mark and I are guilty of snagging some K.D. once in a while to make a favourite, tuna macaroni casserole. I add tuna, peas and milk and leave out the bag of coloured dried cheese, but if I replace it with any orange cheese, it’s been dyed as well!

Soda drinking is huge in the Bahamas and nothing tastes better after working in the hot sun all day. There are a number of sodas on this list, including Mountain Dew, (Continued on Page 7)

SieraSlave top Canadian rock band

By Sheila McBrayne Leamington’s Siera Simoni of SieraSlave is anxiously waiting to hear the news if her band will be going to Barcelona, Spain, to compete in the Hard Rock international finals.

The local band consists of Simoni on drums and band members Dane Roberts, LaSalle, Shawn Miller, Tecumseh and Nathan, McNevin, Windsor.

Last week the band won the Hard Rock Rising competition in Toronto at Hard Rock Cafe. They beat out 6000 bands to win the national title. The next level is Barcelona.

Explaining the name, Siera explained that as the drummer, she sets the beat for the band. “The rest of the band follows my lead, my beat,” she said. The judges are voting and deciding right now who will advance to the final 5 from North America to travel to Barcelona later this year. “We should know any day,” she added.

SieraSlave is a rock band that is inspired by both classic and modern rock. Their unique sound is best described as retro/ modern rock. The band formed in July of 2014 and has been writing original music and playing gigs ever since. Their debut CD Release show was sold out two weeks in advance at Venue Music Hall in Windsor in December 2014 and the band has been building a solid base of loyal, enthusiastic fans in Windsor and beyond.

In the meantime, the local band has been offered a four-month tour of high schools across Canada.

They would be playing and presenting a positive message to teens. “We’re thinking about it, but it all depends and it could all change,” said Siera.

Their music has also been getting airplay on radio including 89X, initially on Canadian X-Ports and The Homeboy Show, but recently went into regular rotation in late March and has twice made it into the Top 9 at 9 in the first two weeks of airplay. Additionally, the band has been getting airplay on CJAM, CKLW and on college radio in London, Ontario, and Fredericton, New Brunswick. The band was recently asked to be part of the Rock Lobster Radio Program based in London, England, which is syndicated in several countries around the world.

The band is in the midst of booking dates for the summer of 2015 but is already scheduled to play a number of prominent music festivals in Ontario including Fork & Cork in Windsor on July 3 on the bill with Everlast. The band is also scheduled for shows in Detroit, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Toronto, St. Catharines, Ottawa, Montreal and other cities.

Their original music touches on a wide variety of topics including weightier subjects such as suicide and religious war.

drums at the age of 12 trying to perfect challenging beats on an old Westbury kit that her father’s friend showed her. She then “borrowed” classic records from her father’s collection and was introduced to drummers like John Bonham, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Daniel Adair, and Dave Grohl to name just a few. This was the birth of Siera’s passion and what developed as the backbone of SieraSlave.

The band plans to play at Siera’s school, Cardinal Carter Secondary School on May 27.

Shipwreck tales of Lake Erie Special to The Southpoint Sun by David Dyck It was a beautiful mid-summer day on July 17, 1856 on Lake Erie when the passenger steamer the Northern Indiana embarked on its voyage for Toledo, Ohio, from Buffalo,

New York.

The steamship’s speed was praised and Victorian era gaiety prevailed. But the mood was soon altered by smoke emanating from the smokestack – the ship was on fire. In a desperate move, the ship soared wildly across the lake, leaving a black trail in its wake.

But to no avail as the fire ate through the ship’s wooden frame, securing its unalterable destiny at the bottom of the lake, just off Point Pelee.

This was just one of several stories Maritime Kohl and Joan Forsberg present a giant Erie Quest diagram at the Leamington Arts Centre at 72 historians Chris Kohl and Chris Talbot Road West on May 8, 2015. The diagram, donated by Kohl and Forsberg, shows some of the Joan Forsberg gave at the many shipwrecks located in Lake Erie.

(Photo by David Dyck) Leamington Arts Centre on Friday, May 8, in a presentation detailing some of the most exciting shipwreck tales of wreck off East Sister Island in 1829, there were “literal trafLake Erie – a treasury of artifacts right beneath Leaming- fic jams” on the lake with ships colliding frequently with ton’s feet. one another, according to Forsberg.

There are over 6,000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, Such was the case with a steamship named the Kent, with the majority of them resting at the bottom of Lake which sank in 1845. Encountering another steamer, the Erie, which claims approximately 2,000 itself. This number London, the Kent attempted to pass it, but on the wrong sounds exaggerated until one considers the heavy reliance side.

While the London picked up as many passengers as The stories are numerous and two hours can barely it could, at least eight of the 75 on board perished. scratch the surface. Beginning with the Macedonian’s With the beginning of the 20th century traveling by sea became outdated, in favour of automotive and air travel.

But with the creation of SCUBA diving, an interest in shipwrecks began. Many took pieces of the wrecks they encountered home along with them.

“In the early days of SCUBA diving, many divers had Growing to come back with a token of accomplishment,” said Kohl.

Since 1921 “It was very common for them to come back with lots of artifacts to show off to the people.”

It would not be until the 1975 Ontario Heritage Act was passed that restrictions were imposed on divers removing artifacts from wrecks. In the case with the 1905 schooner barge shipwreck of the Tazmania, a shipwreck enthusiast named Allen King noticed in 1987 the absence of its bow anchor. Apparently divers from Ohio had cut it off its chain link, lifted it to the surface with airlift bags and towed it across the border where it sat on the lawn of a marina before it was confiscated by U.S. federal agents, who also took the 239 Rd 5 Between Hwy 77 and Albuna Townline divers’ boats. They had to fight another three years to get OPEN MON - SAT 9 am - 5:30 pm their boats back.

For Kohl and Forsberg though, the history is treasure enough, as well as some of the best presented in the entire www.simpsonorchards.ca world.

Valle competing at Miss Universe Canada

By Sheila McBrayne Leamington’s Catherine Valle headed to Toronto to compete for the title of Miss Universe Canada 2015. The Miss Universe Canada competition began May 16 and ends on May 23 with the crowning of Miss Universe Canada who will represent Canada at the Miss Universe Pageant later this year.

“Preparing for Miss Universe Canada has been one of the most exciting experiences of my life.

It’s been a lot of work, but so rewarding. My family, friends, and the entire Leamington community have been so supportive throughout the entire process. I hope to make them proud,” she said.

Valle was selected as one of the top five contestants at the Miss Universe Western Ontario pageant held on April 11 in Windsor. She was also voted Miss Congeniality. The Miss Universe Canada pageant will be streamed live at missuniversecanada.ca on Saturday, May 23 at 8 p.m.

In her biography for Miss Universe Canada Catherine is described as charismatic, loving and enthusiastic. Valle is currently a student at Western Catherine Valle University, set to graduate this spring with an Honors Bachelor of Medical Science degree. She is passionate about the sciences and hopes to pursue a career in the medical field as a physician. She is an advocate for helping others in both her community of Leamington and the community of Western University.

Along with studying science, she believes that her relationship with the arts is equally important.

The arts have allowed her to think outside the box and her creativity allows her to adapt quickly to change. She has danced competitively for her high school, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, and Western University, where she choreographed award-winning numbers. She also choreographs for CAISA Fashion Show where she has helped raise $75,000 for Children’s Health Foundation to date. Valle loves to be involved in her community and donate to charity. She has been involved in Shoppers Drug Mart Dragon Boat fundraisers and fashion shows for Lupus Canada. She also raises money for Operation Smile through Western University’s Operation Smile Club and her own platform as a Miss Universe Canada 2015 delegate.

Catherine has coached and played hockey and soccer for over 12 years and loves the community involvement she gets through playing at a competitive level. She had the honour of being a 2010 Vancouver Olympic Torch Bearer. Valle hopes that Miss Universe Canada will give her a platform to continue her charity endeavors and effect change on a national scale.

Greenhouse development DiCiocco Farms Eastside Inc. wants to build a little more than 15 acres of greenhouses as phase one of a development at 310 Talbot Road East.

Changes needed before project can proceed At the Monday, May 4 Council meeting, Municipal Council was called upon to amend the Official Plan to show the commercial lands off Cherry Land and Seacliff to be developed for ‘mixed uses’ to permit the construction of the apartments and seniors residence.

They then needed to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the buildings, and to pass three consent applications to create the three lots for the three buildings.

The sequence is critical, so the sequence of changes must be done in a specific order and will only be complete after Essex County approves the Official Plan amendment.

Before passing the initial changes, Councillor John Hammond congratulated Rob Piroli, owner of Piroli Group Developments, on sticking with the development over the difficult delays. Not the least of the minor changes is the change in the address: Monday it was 24 Seacliff Drive E., but Tuesday it was 40 Seacliff Drive E.

Packaged foods sometimes don’t make sense (Continued from Page 4) Sunkist, Gatorade, Fresca, Squirt, and one of our best sellers, Fanta Orange. They each contain BVO (Brominated vegetable oil) which is a flame retardant. Need I say more?

Kool Aid is definitely one of our top sellers. It is appalling to realize that aside from the dyes that must be in each packet are the bags of sugar that are sold along with it. One of our crewmen purchases a two-pound bag a week. We have started adding healthier options to our shelves in the shop, but as I read the list mentioned above I know that removing some of the unhealthy ones would be to all of our benefit.

The list goes on, but to what extent can we make the changes without making enemies?

That would be the question. I remember when our kids were little, following my mother’s example, that chips, pops and packaged foods were not regularly available in our cupboard.

Sure, we would purchase them on special occasions, and when we were at the arena we enjoyed some of the best French fries ever! One time, I specifically recall Cheyne asking me why I didn’t have any ‘fun’ foods in the cupboard. I told him someday he would understand, but ‘what you eat is what you are’.

Now when we visit Cheyne, we are happy to see that he is making stir frys, stews and salads from scratch using whole foods. Can’t promise that the meat has been treated fairly but his meals are rarely, if ever, from a box. He saves his wallet and his body.

When I talk to the guys here about the food they eat, they just don’t know any better.

Arthur realizes and says that he needs to lose weight, as he sits on the border of Type 2 diabetes. Often I will make a bit of extra dinner and Mark will deliver a colourful plate of lean fish or chicken along with lots of vegetables and salad. The thing is, if we are late preparing, I think he eats this after he has already eaten his meal! He is trying, but when he returns from his week off with his groceries, I see that he still has a lot to learn.

Obviously, so do we. This article lists nut mixes and beer as both possibly containing the preservatives BHA and BHT, cancer-causing agents, but when I look on their labels, nothing is listed. I’ll have to check this out further on-line.

Groceries are extremely expensive here because of the cost to ship them to the islands.

By the time produce arrives, it is not always the freshest anymore. I am happy to see tomatoes, peppers and more right from Leamington in some of the finer grocery stores in Nassau! Sadly, this is not where the average Bahamian is shopping and rarely do I see anything fresh in their grocery bags when they return to the island.

Last week, I transplanted all of my tomato and pepper plants back into the shade house and hooked up an irrigation system. The summer sun and salt air has taken its toll. Once I am able to get my Bahamian gardening techniques down, I will hopefully have enough to share with each of them. These men have a lot to teach me.

Most recently they have promised to take me crabbing. Whoever patented the message ‘it takes a village’ was so correct, and whether you are living on a little island with 6 people, a city or in a quaint little fishing village on the edge of one of the Great Lakes, the message is the same!

Shipwreck tales of Lake Erie (Continued from Page 4) “We have the best preserved ships, because it’s cold, fresh water,” said Kohl, referring to the Great Lakes.” With ocean shipwrecks, the wood doesn’t last a year. It’s usually gone within a year, except for the parts that get covered up by the sand.”

No wonder then that shipwreck investigating remains a favoured pastime of many Maritime citizens. Kohl and Forsberg call investigating shipwrecks “a trip back in time.”

“It’s an underwater museum,” said Forsberg. “The last people who actually touched it and worked with it were the sailors who died on it.”

The maritime shipwreck culture remains an unknown history for many Leamington residents, according to Kohl and Forsberg. Yet it’s a rich culture, littered with “wonderful stories” of people who “really rose to the occasion.”

This is the case with The Clarion, a steamship which departed on Dec. 8, 1909 bound for Chicago. It was about five miles north of Southeast Shoal when smoke erupted from the cargo hold. The first mate became the first casualty after being overcome by the flames he was trying to extinguish. Fierce winds scattered the flames, thus dividing the crew into two groups, one at the bow and one at the stern. The majority, which included the captain, was stuck on the bow. They struck out on a lifeboat, but were never seen alive again.

It would be the Leonard C. Hanna, captained by Matthew Anderson, which sailed alongside the now blazing Clarion’s stern to save the crew. Five of the six sailors managed to climb onto the ship, but the sixth, an elderly sailor now numbed by the cold was unable to attempt the feat. Captain Anderson swung his ship around and sailed within one foot of the Clarion to give the elderly sailor another chance. Luckily, he made it and the ship sailed away into Maritime history.

After their presentation Kohl and Forsberg held a book signing of their newest book “The Wreck of the Griffon, The Greatest Mystery of the Great Lakes.”

Cardinal Carter supports torch run

By Bryan Jessop Taking a slightly different route for the 2015 Leamington segment of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics has quite literally paid off.

Although the annual run is orchestrated every year mainly as an awareness campaign, a collective donation from Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School students made the Thursday, May 14 stop in Leamington a little more worthwhile. The school’s student leadership course organized a dress-down day with pledge-driven participation coinciding with this year’s torch run. Cardinal Carter’s student population of just over 600 presented a cheque of $808 to the county’s 35 participating law enforcement representatives. School vice principal Ryan Coristine began corresponding with the Essex County OPP about two weeks prior to the local torch run and from there, handed responsibility for the fundraiser to the student leadership course.

“We’re very proud of them,” Coristine said of students involved in the half-month project. “They did very well. We’re very pleased with how it turned out.”

Leadership students began the campaign with creating and hanging posters around the school and took on pledge collection duties. All grades met the Essex County torch run team in front of the school immediately following a fire drill timed to coincide with the runners’ arrival. The donation was presented to OPP detective constable Pauline Brockman and the local event’s organizer OPP constable Jim Chauvin.

“It’s a beautiful day,” Chauvin said on the Torch Run team’s arrival at the Leamington OPP detachment on Clark Street. “We couldn’t ask for better weather than this. People wave at us, honk their horns… the support is always great through one community to the next.”

In Essex County, the annual run includes OPP and municipal constables, officers and staff, Canadian Border Services Agency staff, Ministry of Corrections employees – Southwest Detention Centre and in some cases, members of their families. From one community to the next, Special Olympic athletes also participate.

LDMH Auxiliary honours its volunteers

The Auxiliary celebrated its 65th year during this year’s luncheon, held Monday, May 11 at the Roma Club pavilion.

LDMH Auxiliary honours its volunteers (Continued from page 10) directors, staff and foundation work together consistently and seamlessly, forming an effective network of partnerships not seen in most other health care facilities across the province.

“It’s something you don’t see in a lot of other places. We’re very community-minded,” she explained.

Through 2014, the LDMH Auxiliary volunteers chipped in with 37,000 hours of work. At today’s minimum wage of $11.00 per hour, the group saved Leamington’s hospital $407,000 in wages. Currently, 150 Auxiliary members are being trained for volunteer duties at the soon-to-be constructed Erie Shores Hospice across the street from LDMH. The luncheon itself also served as an Auxiliary fundraiser that will in part support the future hospice. In addition to funding equipment purchases at the hospital, the Auxiliary is also collecting the funds necessary to buy one of 10 rooms at the hospice, valued at $50,000. The organization is also planning to purchase a grand piano for the new facility’s lobby.

Money was raised through a 50/50 draw, raffle prize tickets and a silent auction for two quilts made and donated by Joan Brown. Another Auxiliary fundraiser — Cuppa Kindness Coffee — is available to the public at the hospital’s gift shop and online at www.cuppakindness.com. Varieties of coffee and teas are available to purchase — select ‘LDMH Foundation Auxiliary’ under the scroll-down ‘Charities’ menu.

Local teen rescues wounded bald eagle

By Bryan Jessop The Leamington-Wheatley area is certainly no stranger to unique bird encounters in early May, but Logan Richmond has had an experience that beats them all.

The 17-year-old Wheatley native was walking around the Leamington side of East Beach when he made an unusual discovery — a wounded but conscious bald eagle. The bird was trying unsuccessfully to take flight when it was spotted by Richmond and friend D.J. Wales.

“It was pretty shocking to be just sitting around and then look over and say ‘hey, there’s an eagle in the bush’,” Richmond said. “We looked over into the bushes and there it was, about five feet from where we sat down.”

The unusual discovery was made Saturday, May 9. Initially, Richmond and Wales believed the eagle was sick, as it appeared to have a thin, dirty film covering most of its head.

Being an avid outdoors and nature enthusiast, Richmond knew that Wings Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre based out of Amherstburg was the ideal organization to call. After telling Wales’ mother of their discovery, she looked up and provided the Centre’s phone number, which Richmond called on his cell phone.

Wheatley resident Logan Richmond holds an injured adult bald eagle while waiting for representatives of the Wings Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre to arrive Saturday, May 9 on the Leamington side of East Beach. Richmond discovered the injured bird along with friend D.J. Wales.

“They were there in about half an hour,” Richmond said. “They were pretty quick.”

The bird’s finders at one point suspected the eagle had sustained a broken wing, but the WWRC called back between two and three hours after taking possession and told Richmond that it had likely suffered a mating-related injury.

Richmond picked up the fully-grown, adult female bald eagle shortly after finding it and despite receiving scratches to his left hand and left leg from its talons, was able to calm the distressed bird. Although he has seen a few bald eagles in the East Beach area, the experience on May 9 was a first for Richmond.

“They (WWRC) said it was really special to find something like that,” he recalled.

Representatives of the Centre told Richmond that they would contact him with updates on the eagle’s status about a week later. The WWRC also explained that when and if the bird becomes healthy enough to be released back into the wild, they will contact the local teen to let him know when and where the release would take place.

Richmond made his intentions clear on how he would reply if invited to witness a release.

“One-hundred per cent sure, I’d be there,” he explained.

The torch is lit just prior to the Leamington leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ontario at the Leamington OPP detachment Thursday, May 14. This year’s Leamington trek took the 35 participants from the OPP station on Clark Street to Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School, where the entire student body and a donation of $808 greeted the runners.

The Southpoint Sun - 13

The 35 participants for the Essex County section of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics gather at the Leamington OPP station for photos just before departure and a 2.6 km jog to Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School Thursday, May 14. Upon reaching the school, runners were greeted by students of all grades and a donation of $808.

Cardinal Carter supports torch run (Continued from page 9)

The 35 participants of Essex County’s Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ontario make their way along Carter Avenue just before reaching Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School.

This year’s run began in Tecusmeh before proceeding to Lakeshore and then Leamington, Kingsville, Harrow, Amherstburg and LaSalle. The event concluded with a fivekilometre run in Windsor along the Detroit River. Each community’s run featured a course of between one and three kilometres, including 2.6 km in Leamington. Chauvin — who has taken part in the run since 2001 — described weather as the biggest potential challenge each year, noting that one participant fainted a few years ago because of excessive heat and humidity. Runners experiencing fatigue are able to rest in one of the police cruisers trailing the group.

This year, support for the torch run was offered by Badder Bus Lines, PepsiCo. with beverages, Foodland Essex with fruit and Kellogg’s Canada with granola bars.

Red dress exhibit: a call for a public inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women A red dress exhibit is planned at Caldwell First Nation in recognition of missing and murdered Indigenous Women. Members of Caldwell First Nation will be joined by Katie Omstead, Federal Liberal candidate for Chatham-Kent-Leamington, and Carolyn Bennett, Liberal Critic for Aboriginal Affairs, to shed light on the issue at the launch on Wednesday, May 20 at 4:30 p.m.

The public is invited to walk through the outdoor exhibit, located at Caldwell First Nation, 14 Orange St., Leamington. Similar exhibits have been displayed across the country as a reminder of the ongoing human rights tragedy.

CarrieAnn Peters, Community Wellness Coordinator, and Omstead have been working together to raise awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous women. In the past they have organized vigils and walks.

The red dress exhibit is a way to reach a wider audience. Omstead hopes that when community members walk or drive by, they will notice the bright red dresses and question why they are hanging in the trees: “It’s a very powerful way to ask the question, why are these women and their families being ignored, mistreated, abused, and murdered?”

Peters, Omstead and Bennett hope that this exhibit will add pressure to the calls for an immediate public inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women.

According to an RCMP report, 1,017 Indigenous women and girls were murdered between 1980 and 2012. This homicide rate is close to 5 times higher than all Canadian women.

The exhibit has been inspired by Jaime Black’s ‘The REDress Project’, which is an aesthetic response to the more than 1,000 missing and murdered indigenous women.

Happy 60th Anniversary

Concerns about rental row housing to place development and commercial any of building voiced at public meeting reduce the commercial use to a smaller footprint than is usually permitted.

Questions began with Council, and Councillor John Hammond began with a request for clarification of the size of the commercial building (5,400 square feet) and the permitted uses for the building. Councillor Hammond expressed concern about passing through a commercial lot to reach residential parking.

Councillor Bill Dunn passed along a question about whether or not the site would be fenced, and the number of parking spaces on the preliminary plan. The zoning requires 1.5 parking spaces per unit, so the

your special announcement or e-mail sun@mnsi.ne

proposal complies with the zoning by-law in this regard.

A large number of people attending the meeting had worries. One resident expressed concern about lack of detail concerning individual units — what would their height be; what kind of buffering would be installed; what are the plans for tenancy; etc.

Concern about potential flooding of neighbouring back yards in the absence of a drainage plan, and uncertainty about waste collection (and storage) for rental occupancy lead to opposition.

To the extent possible, the municipal planner answered questions with provisions that are in place. In the absence of detailed drawings, some of the questions could not be answered.

The solicitor for the applicant indicated that many of the questions would be addressed at Mount Zion Full Gospel Leamington Evangelical the point of the site plan Tabernacle Mennonite Mission Church 6 Mill Street, Leamington stage, but are not an1408 Deer Run Rd, Leamington 519-252-0031 519-326-9734 swered yet.

On Monday evening, May 11, there was a public meeting for a zoning bylaw amendment unlike any Municipal Council has ever seen. The subject property that includes all the vacant land tucked in behind 139 to 143 Talbot Street East, just west of Cedar Drive. The total area of this commercial property is about two and a quarter acres (0.915 Ha) and a proposal has been made to construct a small commercial building facing Talbot, and then one storey rental row housing in behind.

What makes the application even more controversial is the desire to have the rear yard reduced to 20 feet from the required 30 feet, and to

Drain assessment referred to court of revision

Ordination of Milad Salloum Milad Salloum graduated from Catholic Central High School in 2004 and studied at St. Clair College in Windsor before joining the Seminary. He received his Bachelor degree in Philosophy and Theology in June 2014. Pictured is Reverend Father Milad Salloum (at right) with his godfather, Father Charles Saad, Maronite Catholic Priest from Tourza, North Lebanon, Pastor of Saint Anthony’s, Leamington, Saint Peter, Windsor, and Saint Elias, London, during the Ordination held in Windsor in April.

When construction of the Setterington Drain was first proposed in 2009, the costs were much less than is now the case. Total expenditures to the end of 2013 were $48,278. The 2014 budget was $97,532 and the expected 2014 expenditure is now $178,457, a difference of $80,925. There is no municipal cost to this project.

The recommendation is still to construct the drain, even though the estimate of future costs to construct are expected to be considerable.

The proposed drain is to cross the Hwy 3 bypass as a 10-inch tile drain and will create a legal outlet for farms south of the bypass. One of the reasons for the public meeting is to offer petitioners the opportunity to remove their names from the original petition, or to allow others to add their names to the petition.

Compounding the problem, one of the properties has changed hands, and as a consequence problems have arisen as part of property allowances and assessment: one property representing 15% of the total land area is being assessed almost 50% of the cost.

At the Monday, May 4 meeting of Municipal Council, the drainage engineer commented that the land allowance of $15,000 per acre is based on tax assessments of the surrounding lands, but does not include the value of any buildings on the lands — only the vacant farmland. In spite of owners’ disappointment, the engineer is not intending any change.

Consensus among Council members was that this drainage problem has gone on far too long, and something must be done.

After discussion with landowners present, and since the engineer’s report has been adopted by Council, the matter was referred to the court of revision so that participants can object to assessments if there is an error.

Getting your Ducks in a row While nearly everybody has a favourite team in any organized sports league they care to follow, most also have other teams they admire and would like to see succeed when they aren’t pitted against said favourites.

Everyone also has teams they dislike — some more Jessop’s than others. Sadly, none of the teams I appreciate have Journal made it to the NHL conference finals this year. I loathe the Ducks (based on their Disney-era bastardization of the game and naming the team after the worst sports movie of all time) and with a general disdain of nearly all major urban centres, certainly can’t back a NYC team. If I were a U.S. citizen, I’d probably lose either my mind or my lunch every time I heard someone refer to the Yankees as “America’s team.”

And no, I don’t like the Lightning either… and not just because they eliminated the Habs.

I kind of saw that coming, as much as I hate to admit it. I just can’t bring myself to stomach the existence of ‘southern market’ teams when there are cities here in the Great White North that would actually appreciate hosting an NHL franchise. Florida and hockey go together like dogs and vacuum cleaners — the former simply wants nothing to do with the latter.

As for the Blackhawks, well, I guess they’re actually a team I can look upon with a sense of neutrality — like Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Vancouver, New Jersey or Columbus. Looking at this year’s group of quarterfinal qualifiers, they’re the team I hope to see hoist Lord Stanley’s Mug at this point.

Chicago of course is the team that made me look like a fool in Round 2. I gave the underdog Wild the benefit of the doubt and declared they’d pull off the upset in a barn-burning Game 7. They then proceeded to be swept in four straight. Too much optimism for a team facing an adversary with more than its share of firepower, I suppose. Chalk it up as wishful thinking, since I admire the typical Minnesotan’s dedication to the sport.

In a completely unexpected turn of events, I nailed the other three series — Anaheim over Calgary in five, Tampa Bay over Montreal in six (sigh) and New York over Washington in seven. Talk about hating it when you’re right. My brain somehow managed three out of four, but my heart got skunked. It’s not that I like the Flames or Caps, but I certainly think more highly of them than their conference semifinal adversaries.

As far as the Habs go, well, you can’t expect to get much mileage out of an offense that comes up with more than two goals ONCE in six games. Rumour has it that a trade involving Phil Kessel making a trip to Montreal is in the works. Not sure how I feel about that. He took a lot of heat in Toronto this past season, but that doesn’t necessarily means he deserves the flack. Kessel gets blamed if the TTC goes on strike, but that doesn’t mean Hab fans will welcome him with open arms if they have to give too much to the Leafs in return.

Getting back to the business at hand…

Anaheim vs. Chicago — The Ducks have been lucky enough to be offered not one but TWO practice rounds before having to get their hands dirty. Eight wins in nine games sounds impressive, but they’ve gone head to head with a couple of playoff newbies to say the very least. The Wild obviously wasn’t much of a test for the ‘Hawks, but Nashville was nothing to sneeze at. Kane, Toews, Keith and Sharp against Perry, Getzlaf, Silfverberg and Kesler should be a blast to watch. Yup, eight out of the top 14 point getters represent these two teams. Three of the others in that group are dusting off the golf clubs. This might be the most interesting series of the post-season, which says a lot considering the Rangers’ turnaround versus the Caps. Chicago in seven.

New York vs. Tampa Bay — Even in the days of the Original Six, it was impossible to be matched up against an Original Six team for three consecutive series in one playoff season (mostly because there were only two rounds back then). Tampa could actually make it four, if they beat the Rangers and Chicago beats Anaheim. New York’s never say die attitude has brought it this far, via a Game 7 overtime cliffhanger to boot. Here’s the thing, though; remember that Top 14 I mentioned? Eight are in the Western final, three are on the outside looking in and the remaining three are all wearing black, blue and white jerseys. If you take a lot of stock in stats, Lundqvist offsets the offensive mismatch a bit by leading the way in save percentage and goals against average among goaltenders who are still in the hunt. Bishop’s been no slouch either between the pipes for Tampa, although he’s faced less formidable forward threats.

Vince is a lifetime The Bolts’ Tyler Johnson Leamington resident. leads the league in playoff goals at this point, so I expect him to be another facHe would be pleased tor weighing in on this one. to answer any Tampa Bay in six.

Cool, windy day for TT seniors

By Bob McLean On a cool, extremely windy Tues. May 12 the seniors league had 59 enthusiastic participants challenging the TT course.

Once again, Dutchy led everyone as he scored a spectacular 38. Three excellent scores of 40, 41 and 42 were fired respectively by Ross Clark, Jim Pearson and Garnet Fox. Both Bob Patchett and John Liddell merited terrific 43s. Five golfers who achieved gratifying 44s were Bill Ward, Mike Wright, Tom Hyatt, Vic Reynaert and Robert Shaw. Commendable 45s were shot by Dave Dent, Mike Getty, Paul Harrison and Bob McLean. Kevin Jordan shot a very fine 46. Three golfers who achieved satisfying 47s were Pete Daudlin, Homer Vandervecht and Al Zanuttini. A noteworthy 48 came from Paul R. Brown. Praiseworthy 49s were produced by Joe Vertel, Jim Omstead, Dave Krueger and Al Matthews.

Seven golfers earned a nifty 50. These gentlemen were Eugene Abbruzzese, Richard Humber, Neil Adamson, Don Willan, Larry Hughes, Herb Reid and William Derbyshire.

An outstanding shot by Paul Harrison on #9 earned him the closest to the pin win. Dave Dent converted a superb putt on #2 to become the long putt victor.

Play will commence at 9:00 a.m. on Tues. May 26. Starting in June there will be age groupings included in the writeups. The first travel excursion will take place in June.

As the temperature rises, hopefully the league will see more past players out to join the fun Tuesday league. The first scramble will take place on June 16.

Chase It: If you find you are losing driving distance, you might find the following helpful. You need to extend your arms to make a full release through impact. Try hitting your drives by feeling that your driver head is chasing after the ball after impact. This extra extension will permit your arms to move more freely and create extra distance. Find a spot about a foot (30cm) in front of your ball and use it to drive the ball over it, and then feel your arms reach for it as you release the club towards the target.

Progs golf results Fifty-seven chilled Erie Shores golfers, on May 12, wondered who turned the furnace off. After having enjoyed a wonderful week golfing in shorts and a regular polo, the golfers resorted back to long pants, with shirts tucked in as far down as possible for maximum warmth. There were a few members, though, who had enough hair on their legs to keep them warm, so they wore shorts.

The winds were brisk and it affected the total scores of all the teams. Four teams combined with a total -175. There were a slew of negative numbers with a -13 being the most honest golfer. Way to go Barry Miller. One team, however, escaped with the win with a -34. Members include Joe Verhoeven, Ernie Schmidtgall, Wayne Quinn, Neil Reimer, Les Young, Paul Driedger, Orest Hrynewich, Brett Madden, Claudio Sabelli, Bob Park, Gary McRae, Larry Roberts, Ken Cobby, Frank Gow and Bob Dick. Each member collected $10 for their efforts.

Only 4 skins were earned on this day. Gary Alderson, Neil Reimer, Jeff Brown and Fred Klassen each pocketed $22. Fred was so excited he almost rubbed the cushion off his chair, he was gyrating so much.

Even though the scores were lacklustre, there were some positive results. Neil Reimer produced a stellar +8, followed by Greg Dunmore with a +4. Bob Dick, Les Young and Ken Segedin followed up with +3s. Neil brought home $20 for his wife to spend, while Greg Dunmore will try and conceal his $15. The other three golfers will likely buy a coffee with their $3 winnings.

I had the distinct pleasure of playing with Ward Hutchins, Neil Sawatzky and Ken Cobby. These guys can power the ball a long ways. I was guaranteed to be the first person to hit the second shot and the last person to get on the green. Talk about intimidating. Someone resembling me played a very nice 39 on the first nine being behind Ward and Neil by one stroke. Then the real me showed up for the second nine, crashing to a humble 46.

I didn’t hear of any out-of-this-world shots, but I will tell you of one of mine. On #16 there is a cement bridge that crosses over the ditch. It has tall sides with a cement slab on top of each side. I took one of my look upper swings. The ball was more of a slicing line drive, heading straight for the bridge. If it hits the side, the ball will likely be in the water. As luck would have it, the ball smacked the cement slab on top of the side wall.

The ball bounded towards the right and ended up near the cart path of #5. If I knew how to pitch, it would have been a sure par.

Since last week did not produce the best results, let’s hope that the following weeks will be a lot warmer with scores to match.

Motorcycle season is here – share the road!

The warmer weather is here and many motorcyclists are heading out on area roadways. All drivers need to share the road and drive courteously to avoid any potentially dangerous situations that may arise.

• Watch for motorcycles at intersections – over one third of motorcycle collisions are intersection related. Be sure that you are safe to proceed before doing so by checking your mirrors and around your car. Slow

down as you come to an intersection and look carefully for traffic, yield signs, stop signs, traffic lights, cyclists and pedestrians.

• Be extra cautious when turning left in front of a motorcycle. It’s difficult to judge their speed and their turn signal may be accidentally left on as they don’t automatically shut off. Watch for clues. Motorcycle turn signals can be hard to see.

• Watch for signs, such as shoulder checking or leaning that indicate the rider is going to turn or change lanes.

• A motorcycle is more difficult to see than other vehicles and its profile is smaller from most angles.

• Drivers can easily misjudge a motorcycle’s speed and distance. Make sure you don’t pull out in front of, or cut off, a motorcycle.

Respect motorcyclists they are just as entitled to use the road as you are.

Speed and other aggressive tactics such as tailgating can potentially be more dangerous to the motorcyclist, who has less protection on a smaller, open vehicle.

Give other drivers space to change lanes, avoid cutting them off and signal your turns and lane changes properly.

Help make sure that this year will be a safe and enjoyable motoring season.

Golden Years mini golf league wraps up season

The Southpoint Sun - 21

Lakers compete in a pair of pitching duels The Leamington Minor Midget Lakers competed in a couple of exciting pitching duels last week, coming away with a tie and a loss in Sun Parlour league play.

On Friday, Lucas Lamotte pitched 5-2/3 innings striking out 8 and giving up only one hit as the Lakers battled to a 1-1 tie with the Essex Minor Midgets.

“One of the fans at the game summed it up best when they said that Lamotte pitched handsomely,” said coach Terry Misener. “I am not sure if handsomely is an actual word but it does sound like a great way to describe the control and command Lamotte exhibited on the mound.”

Kameron Wall scored the Lakers’ lone run in the fourth inning. He doubled to left field, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Branden Teichroeb and then scored on a successful suicide squeeze by Ryan Wall.

Justin Myer and Anthony Fehr made key defensive plays to thwart Essex scoring chances.

On Sunday evening the Lakers travelled to Essex where they dropped a 1-0 contest with the Essex Majors.

Aidan Massad struck out 12 in six innings holding the tough Essex Major team at bay. His mix of overpowering fastballs and off-speed pitches stymied the Yellow Jacket batters all game.

Massad also had the only hit for the Lakers.

The Minor Midget Lakers are sponsored by Howie’s Custom Coating Inc. Their next home game is Friday (May 22) against the Tecumseh Majors at 7 p.m. on Diamond #7 at the Kinsmen Baseball Complex.

On May 14 a phenomenal 102 aces by 60 golfers was a great sendoff for the last date of the 2014-2015 Golden Years mini golf season.

24 - The Southpoint Sun

Fred’s 1965 Corvette Sting Ray sponsored by Clarence Holmes Motors.

Wednesday, May 20, 2015

Fred Mayhew’s lifelong love of horse power!

SODUKU ANSWERS

Fred Mayhew and his WORD SEARCH ANSWERS twin brother Ken were born in 1943 and grew up in Leamington. From an early age they both displayed a great interest in cars, including horsepower. When Fred was 21, he purchased a new 1964 Ford Fairlane V8 2-door hardtop from Slater Fred Mayhew with his trophy-laden 1964 Ford Fairlane.

Motors, the local Ford dealer.

And that’s when the fun began as Fred and his the border, he couldn’t future wife Kathy began showing up at drag strips find the receipt and the all around southwestern Ontario – Sarnia, Grand RCMP impounded the Bend, St. Thomas, Cayuga, and even a visit to the car for a week. Fred fiDetroit Dragway at Sibley and Dix. nally found the receipt, At first, Fred raced in the stock category. Then paid the duty, and got he went over to Detroit and purchased a tachomhis car back. He added eter, headers, and racing slicks. When he got to mag wheels and had a 4-speed on the floor. He raced once on the Al-

buna Town Line against the other guy who had beaten all the other local cars, and Fred won.

Fred’s Fairlane was rated at 210 horsepower and picked up so many trophies there was scarcely room on the hood to display them all. At Grand Bend, Fred gobbled up the quarter mile in 15.31 seconds and crossed the finish line at 90.18 miles per hour. In 1965, he bought a new 1965 Corvette Sting Ray from Clarence Holmes Motors in Leamington, which sponsored Fred at the drag strips. He crossed the finish line at St. Thomas in 12.91 seconds at 118 miles an hour!

His future wife Kathy raced the Corvette in the Powder Puff Derby at the St. Thomas Drag Strip. Being short, she placed a crash helmet behind her so she could reach the pedals. When taking off, she fell backwards and lost that race.

When Fred and Kathy got married in 1967, all racing came to an end – but not the cars with lots of horsepower.

Kathy still has the silver ’85 Corvette with automatic they owned when Fred passed away in 2006. His final words: “Don’t ever sell that car.” Kathy still has it and still drives it.
