Development charges reviewed

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent Leamington Council held a special meeting the afternoon of Wednesday, May 14th to get a preview of the report from a consultant studying Leamington’s development charges.

Provincial law requires that the charges be reviewed every five years to ensure that the development charges by-law is realistic and up to date. Mr. Gary Scanlan of Watson and Associates presented his calculations and conclusions, and then responded to questions from councillors, offering them alternatives and explanations for their consideration.

All of this was a prelude to two public meetings with stakeholders scheduled for Thursday morning.

In a nutshell, municipalities have the authority to recover the capital costs associated with growth within the community, and have had this authority for over sixty years. These costs include, for example, improvements and expansion to arterial roads and traffic signals to accommodate increased traffic, additional maintenance equipment and storage facilities to care for expanded infrastructure, and expanded police, fire, social, and sanitary services that growth necessitates. The principle that growth should pay for growth is the wellestablished basis for these development charges.

There are many things that are explicitly excluded from the calculation of de(Continued on Page 2)

Threeyear-olds visit the dentist’s office

Seven three-year-olds visited the dental office of Dr. Karen Archer on Friday, May 16 as part of the 11th annual day to help young patients become more familiar and feel more comfortable about going to the dentist. According to Dr. Archer, three is the appropriate age to start regular dental checkups and visits.

Leamington Council reviews development charges

(Continued from Front) velopment charges. These include such things as parkland acquisition, arts facilities museums and tourism structures, garbage collection, vehicle replacement and computer equipment. So, the job of the consultants was to make a reasonable estimate of the amount, type and location of growth in Leamington, identify the expanded servicing needs that growth generates, and then calculate the capital costs to provide services to meet the needs. It is not a simple task.

Here is an example that illustrates the kind of calculations that go into estimating how much money should be contributed by development charges: expansion to the Leamington Library. It has been estimated that construction of a new library will cost $3,000,000. Because a new building is expected to serve the needs of Leamington well beyond the 10-year planning period that the by-law must use, the consultant has attributed $1,763,400 to the “post-planning period”. That leaves $1,236,600 as a net cost to be paid. The benefit to the existing population is estimated at $1,044,000, leaving $192,600 to development charges.

Provincial law demands that the municipality make a 10% deduction, leaving $173,340.

Leamington has already collected and reserved $118,282 from development charges toward

this expense, leaving a total of $55,058 for the consultant’s development charges to contribute (in the next 10 years). The consultant has estimated that 95% of the benefit of a library is for residents of new homes, and only 5% should be shouldered by new industry. So finally we get to the bottom line. Of the total amount to be collected by imposition of 100% of the calculated development charges, $52,305 will come from new housing construction and $2,753 from new industries locating in Leamington.

Like they say on those cheesy television commercials, “But wait, there’s more!” The consultant has estimated that over the next ten years Leamington should expect about 500 new dwelling units to be built (apartments, townhouses, duplexes, and single family dwellings). Each contributes a share toward that $52,305 total. For a single family dwelling, that amount is $124.

Note that $124 is the maximum amount that can be charged. Leamington municipal council still has one card up its sleeve: it has the right to discount the development charges any category of construction must pay. If Leamington council decides that to stimulate housing construction it will only charge 75% of what it is entitled to collect, that $124 contribution drops to $93; if 90% is charged, the library portion is $111.60.

To conclude this example, let’s go back to the original cost estimate of $3,000,000. After all the statutory deductions the amount left for the newly calculated development charges was $52,305. If the new library is constructed, that $52,305 must be paid by the municipality. If it is not collected as development charges, then it must come from taxes paid by all of the residents. And that is on top of the $1,044,000 that the consultant has estimated is our fair share (simply to replace what we have with something new). So, the dilemma faced by our municipal councillors is simply ‘where should the money come from’? There are only two choices: development charges to pay for an expansion the need for which has been generated by new growth, or taxes paid by residents who already have an adequate library service. It is a question our municipal council will be wrestling with until this July, when the official public meeting must be held prior to the renewal (and potential amendment) of the existing by-law.

Memento Imagined Project looks at Mill Street wartime housing

By Sheila McBrayne A very unique and special project - Memento Imagined Project - has brought together Leamington youth, the Mill Street neighbourhood and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 84.

On Saturday, May 10, several students from Cardinal Carter Secondary School, their art teacher Angela DiPonio, and Irena Vucajnk of the Mill Street Neighbourhood Initiative met at the Leamington Legion to work on several window displays featuring wartime uniforms, war bride dresses, pictures and mementos, and even a white picket fence indicative of the traditional wartime home of the 1940s and 1950s.

From May 4-7 the Leamington youths researched and creatively expressed their imagination of community life during the 1940-1950 era, and spoke of values relevant to them today by curating an exhibition in the window at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 84 in uptown Leamington.

Through the process the youths creatively asserted their place in the community, generating an excitement in the communal space and spirit.

The exhibit will continue until September 2014. The creative process and interaction between youth and community members during that time will be recorded by young filmmakers who are creating a documentary in collaboration with the Mill Street community heritage project.

Encouraging an inter-generational community engagement through creativity, the event is supported by Irena Vucajnk, artist and community arts advocate with the Mill Street Neighbourhood Initiative grassroots neighbourhood group, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 84 and local businesses.

The Cardinal Carter students are interviewing Bob McKee of Leamington Legion for the documentary. Mr. McKee will discuss his memories of World War Two veterans and the 1948 wartime housing project.

Development of the exhibit will continue until September. Interaction between the youth and the community

members during this time will be documented by the young filmmakers as a part of a broader co-creation on the Mill Street community heritage project. Every Thursday afternoon the students will be at Leamington Legion to talk to veterans and record memories.

The film will be shown at the Mill Street community party on July 13 at Mill Street Park. “The project includes three parts – environment, art and history,” said Ms. Vucajnk.

Anyone interested in supporting this project by contributing their story or memories related to the people and wartime housing area during that time should contact neighbours@millstreetneighbourhood.com Check out the Southpoint Sun online www.southpointsun.ca

against cancer. I grew up in Leamington, so supporting an organization that helps people locally as well as across the country was really important to me. I joined the Canadian Cancer Society because they are leading that fight and providing that support. They have more impact, against more cancers, in more communities, than any other cancer charity. Not only are their cancer information and support services unlike any other programs offered in Canada, but they continue to make great strides in preventing cancer, funding research to outsmart cancer and rallying Canadians to make cancer history.

The Canadian Cancer Society Essex County staff and volunteers are some of the most dedicated, compassionate and positive people I have ever met. Although the number of staff in Windsor-Essex County is small, they sure are mighty! Their sense of pride in working for the Society is always easy to see and they continuously demonstrate a willingness to do whatever is needed for the cause.

These qualities are further exemplified by the numerous devoted volunteers. There are over 1,800 volunteers in Windsor-Essex County alone. It is empowering to know that I have the combined strength of all these volunteers standing alongside me to help make a difference in the lives of people touched by this disease. I have experienced so much enjoyment and fulfillment from volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society. The lasting friendships, the meaningful programs and activities, and the people we continue to fight for have provided me with a renewed vision that has allowed me to grow in my personal and professional life.

Relay For Life… A Party with a Purpose: This year I am excited to participate in the Relay For Life, the Society’s signature events. Relays For Life are inspirational, noncompetitive, 12-hour overnight events that bring the community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. Relays have a festival-like atmosphere that colleagues, friends and family can enjoy regardless of age or fitness level! It’s a Party with a Purpose!

Wednesday, May 21, 2014

Lina-Marie Mastronardi

How Relay works: Prior to the event, teams of people fundraise, both individually and as a team, to help the Society stop cancer before it starts, stop cancer in its tracks, save lives and support those who are facing cancer. Teams stay overnight in the decorated tent city, united to enjoy music, food, activities, entertainment and to celebrate life. Caregivers and people facing cancer enjoy the community support.

Luminary candles are lit at dusk and light the event until morning when the sun comes up. People take turns walking the track at various times throughout the night, while all around them the party is in full swing. I am told that Relay For Life is not just an event, it is a fun and meaningful experience and I am so excited to participate this year.

He owned a 1949 Plymouth and a 1969 Road Runner Keith Simpson of Moncton, New Brunswick, writes: “Hi Bill. My first car was a 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4-door sedan with only 34,000 miles on it when I acquired it in 1968.

It had apparently been won in a CNR raffle and kept by its original owner until a friend of mine bought it in 1967 with only 29,000 miles. He was leaving for university on the west coast and let me have it for only $210. I returned to school a few months later and sold it for $265.”

These cars were big and boxy but very comfortable, and reflected the thinking of Chrysler president K.T. Keller, who insisted a car should have enough head room for a man to wear a hat while driving. A DeSoto of similar vintage was road tested by a car magazine of that day. It was “as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar, and just about as fast.”

Keith’s Plymouth had a 6-cylinder engine with 218 cubes and 95 horsepower.

In the fall of 1971, Keith purchased his 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for $2,200. A nurse had bought it new. The Road Runner was built from 1968 to 1974 and, as the name implies, was adorned with cartoonbird decals and a horn that went “Beep! Beep!” It came as a plain no-frills hardtop or coupe but with lots of muscle under the hood.

Standard was a 383 cubic inch V8 boasting 335 horsepower. And if that wasn’t enough get-up-and-go, you could order the optional 426 cubic inch V8 with 425 horsepower, more than four times the power Keith had in his ’49 sedan.

“I sold my VW to a friend,” recalls Keith, “and bought the Road Runner because I wanted it and also for a trip to Regina for a

brief engagement with the RCMP. The following year, I became a distribution clerk at Chrysler’s Atlantic Zone office, where I just happened to find an original 1969 Belvedere/Satellite/Road Runner brochure. I was with Chrysler again in Windsor when they acquired AMC Jeep from Renault. In total, I was involved with Jeep for 10 years and left Windsor to join Jaguar Canada in Toronto for the final 16 years of my corporate career.”

Annual bedding plants are ready This spring make sure you plant your annuals after any danger of frost. If frost warnings are posted, simply cover the planted area with a sheet or plastic to protect the tender seedlings. As the temperature starts to warm, remember to remove the covering to keep the plants from overheating or causing further damage.

With temperatures still unpredictable, add spots of colour in pots like primrose, pansies and kale. Be sure to use containers with good drainage and only water when the soil is dry to the touch about an inch down.

Once you have purchased your plants, remove the plastic container by turning the plant upside down, tapping the bottom to loosen the root ball. Plant in the soil keeping the root ball at ground level.

If you are more adventurous and prefer growing from seed, check the package for depth and spacing requirements. Taking time and proper planning will give you the most benefit from your plant.

Water is also very important, especially for annuals in sunny or windy areas. Shady areas will require less moisture.

What is Communities in Bloom?

By Catherine Riediger, Publicity - CiB The Municipality of Leamington is embarking on the establishment of the “Communities In Bloom” program proposed by Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright and unanimously endorsed by Leamington Council at the April 14 Council meeting. This is a volunteer organization for the purpose of improving life in the community.

Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community participation and the challenge of a national program, with focus on enhancing green spaces in communities.

National beautification programs have flourished in Europe – including Great Britain and Ireland – for decades, and were the inspiration for Communities in Bloom.

The program began in 1995 with 29 Canadian communities and has grown to improve the quality of life in hundreds of participating communities in the provincial, national and international editions. The CiB is designed to be a continuous community improvement program. It

is divided into three phases: Provincial, National and International. Communities are invited to participate in the provincial or national editions within their population category.

Trained volunteer judges travel across Canada during the summer to evaluate communities and the overall contributions of municipalities, businesses, institutions, organizations and residents, including volunteer efforts in regards to the following six categories: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape and Floral Displays.

Leamington successfully participated in the program 16 years ago. The Leamington Horticultural Society has taken on the responsibility through an ad hoc committee to establish a Steering Committee to manage the CiB program. The first meeting was held on Tuesday, April 29 at the Sherk Complex. The Society’s President, Ken Clark, chaired the meeting. Representatives attending from the Society were Eileen Wonnick, Kathryn Brooker, Pete Scorrar, Joan McDonald, Bill Sherk and Catherine Riediger. Also in attendance were Council representative Deputy-Mayor Charlie

The fight against garlic mustard invasion

Garlic mustard is an invasive, non-native plant. Brought to North America by early colonists, this invasive alien plant is now spreading across the continent at a rate of 6,400 square kilometers per year — that’s an area 10 times the size of Toronto.

Garlic Mustard is readily spread by animals and people who stray off the path and disturb the ground. Trampling on a Garlic Mustard plant virtually guarantees that hundreds of seeds will continue to develop and they can remain viable in the soil for at least 10 years.

The plants are the first to sprout in the spring and quickly Mustard plants ready to be carefully pulled out by the block the sun from reaching the native plants of the forest Garlic roots and safely disposed of. floor.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your thoughts are distant right now, almost as if you're living in a fantasy world. This is creatively beneficial but not so helpful for practical tasks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you're not careful, you could find yourself debating family and friends this week. Instead, try to sit back and listen rather than fostering debate.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a realization about what is really important to you instills a renewed sense of confidence this week. You will be focused on important things.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if your finances seem like they are in a state of upheaval, it could be because you have not looked at everything in black and white just yet. Make some changes.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You come on too strong sometimes, Leo. Those who know you best can handle this approach, but you can scare off potential new friends if you do not ease up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Be patient and do not demand too much of yourself during the next few days, Virgo. You need to keep your workload light; otherwise, you may get easily overwhelmed.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 This is a time to discover the value of others, Libra. A willingness to try new things and delegate some responsibilities will free up your calendar.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 A rush of activity fills your calendar and keeps your phone ringing off the hook, Capricorn. Your challenge will be separating the pressing events from others.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, paperwork has built up and requires more time than you had originally planned. There is no way to avoid this task, but a helper can make it move more quickly.

Goldie Penner of SECC (at back) with a number of newcomer youth at the Leamington drop-in centre at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

SECC offers interesting program for newcomer youth South Essex Community Council (SECC) hosts an after-school drop-in centre several days a week at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex for newcomer high school students.

“It’s a perfect location to host this program at our local community centre, to allow the newcomer youth to come to the Sherk Complex after school where so many other youth come for various sport and recreational programs,” said Goldie Penner, program leader, Settlement Services.

“It helps them to feel included, and gives them an opportunity to meet with other youth.”

Youth can come to the drop-in centre, for example, to have a snack, play some foosball, dialogue with other newcomer youth and share experiences of what it’s like to be living in a new community and in a new country!

Penner also mentioned that the students can do homework and ask for assistance from the SECC staff.

The group is also working on an art project which will give the youth an opportunity to share their stories, feelings and experiences as newcomers. An exhibition is planned for February 2015.

Thomson Guardian

To save their skin and perhaps their lives, youth under 18 are now banned from using tanning beds with the passage of a new law that took effect May 1.

The act also requires tanning bed operators to post signs in their business about this restriction that warn of the dangers associated with tanning bed use. Operators will be required to ask for proof of age identification and will not be allowed to promote tanning services to youth under 18.

Public health units will enforce the new rules and operators that do not follow the law can be fined.

The incidence of melanoma in Ontario has been rising in youth and young adults. Youth are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified tanning beds in its highest risk category along with asbestos and tobacco. The WHO reports that the risk of skin cancer – particularly melanoma – increases by 75% per cent when tanning beds are used prior to the age of 35.

Wild Ontario brought four local species of birds to the second annual Kids Birding Party at the park’s Blue Heron Picnic Area, where hundreds of visitors were able to take a close look at Socrates the turkey vulture, Indiana the red tailed hawk, Apollo the American Kestrel and Einstein the great horned owl. All four species are native to the Point Pelee region, but are virtually never seen from distances as presented by the group of special guests.

The Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18 visits were the first for Wild Ontario to Point Pelee, but will not likely be the last. Parks Canada interpretive program coordinator Sarah Rupert has asked Wild Ontario to make repeat appearances for future renditions of Festival of Birds and if possible, later this summer.

“We’re lucky to be invited here,” said Wild Ontario program director Jenn Bock, who introduced Socrates to several visitors. “Everyone loves seeing these animals up close, especially the kids. They sometimes have a hard time using binoculars.”

Socrates was struck by a car in the fall of 1987 and although veterinarians were able to save his life, they could not salvage his left wing. The mishap cost the bird his independence Two-year-old Rosemary Smith gets a closer look at the red-tailed hawk Indiana, being held by and the ability to fly, but inadvertently lengthened his life. Turkey vultures normally live 15 Wild Ontario volunteer Kyle Horner. Rosemary is being hoisted up by Shaelynn Bourdin during to 20 years in the wild, but can reach a lifespan of up to 40 years while in captivity. Bock, Point Pelee National Park’s Festival of Birds Sunday, May 18. however, explained that maintaining an animal’s ability to live freely is the university’s top priority.

“Even though they generally don’t live as long in the wild, it’s always best when they’re able to live in their natural environments,” she explained.

Wild Ontario, a University of Guelph program, includes about 40 volunteers, most of them undergrads of the school. Others are grads while a few have no affiliation with the university.

Einstein has a ‘lucky to be alive’ story of her own. While a farmer was clear-cutting a parcel of land, he discovered an abandoned nest full of eggs. He brought it to the Ontario Veterinary College, located within close proximity to the university. Being raised by humans from birth, Einstein is what zoologists refer to as “imprinted,” meaning he cannot differentiate between prey, predators and territorial rivals that he would encounter in the wild. Had Einstein been raised naturally, he would not co-exist peacefully with the likes of Indiana, Apollo and Socrates. Imprinted animals cannot survive beyond captivity.

“Because he’s imprinted, he thinks he’s human,” explained Wild Ontario volunteer Samantha Manner. “He just ignores the other birds.”

Red tailed hawks are commonly seen from a distance near farmers’ fields, as they routinely prey on rodents. They are widely considered enemies to chicken farms however, as they also enjoy feasting on poultry.

“They’re not popular on farms that raise chickens,” explained Wild Ontario volunteer Kyle Horner. “Red tailed hawks just can’t resist — they know chickens are slow, meaty and delicious.”

The Kids’ Birding Party also featured a short-distance birding hike with binoculars for participating youths as well Wild Ontario program director Jenn Bock talks about the turkey vulture as a series of activities, crafts and a barbecue hosted by the picnic area.

Socrates during the Kids’ Birding Party at the Blue Heron area of Point “The Kids’ Birding Party is a great way to reach our next generation of birdwatchers,” said Rupert, who has been Pelee National Park. Socrates lost his left wing after being struck by a car in 1987. a regular visitor to Point Pelee since the age of two.

Eight out of 10 boating accident victims not wearing PFDs Cold waters come with extra risks!

Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) are rarely found

by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers when recovering deceased boaters in marine incidents.

Of the 23 boaters who died in OPP investigated marine incidents last year (2013), 20 of them were not wearing PFDs. This has been the trend for the past five years with 8 out of 10 victims who died in boating incidents between 2009 and 2013 being found with no PFD or wearing them

incorrectly.

The late arrival of spring has made for a cold start to the boating season. In some areas of the province, ice is still present and the open waters remain cold. Cold waters are dangerous and it is especially important to wear a PFD during cold water seasons – it can make an unexpected mishap survivable.

Make sure you are welldressed and consider taking a few extra warming items on board. Hypothermia is a

particularly significant risk right now. Boaters and those working and playing near the water need to remember that the colder the water, the less rescue time there is!

OPP statistics are also showing a five-year low in alcohol-related marine fatalities. Four people died in impaired boating incidents in 2013, compared to 7 in 2012 and 2011, 14 in 2010, and 13 in 2009. In spite of the decrease, even one life lost due to alcohol use on the water is one too many. Police are asking the public to call 9-1-1 if they know or suspect that someone is operating a vessel while impaired. In doing so, you could be saving lives.

Proggers have 3-way tie for highest plus

Conner Bergen gets the start in the Lakers season opener.

Lakers Mosquitoes win season opener The Leamington Lakers Mosquito travel team, sponsored by Harder’s Heating & Cooling, got off to a great start to the 2014 campaign with a victory over the Walker Homesites Majors.

The Lakers, with only two returning players from a year ago, appeared to have some first game jitters early on as they found themselves trailing 7-3 after four innings of play. But the team, full of talent and promise, kept their focus and played hard to the end, outscoring their opponents 9-0 over the final three innings for a 12-7 win.

The Lakers offense was led by Kanaan Gale going 3 for 4 at the dish with a triple. Austin Neufeld, Spencer Bergen, TJ Jennings and Brandon Friesen all followed that up with 2 hits of their own while Alex Jadischke sparked the comeback with a two-run home run for the team’s first of the year.

Conner Bergen and Troy Tiessen took to the mound early, keeping the Lakers in striking distance, while Spencer Bergen got the win in his pitching debut going 3 scoreless innings to close out the victory.

Lakers’ next action takes them to Tecumseh on May 22.

A sunny, warm day Tues. May 13th greeted 51 Erie Shores Proggers. Everyone had to walk the course due to the rainfall from the evening before.

In comparison to the scores from the previous week, there was quite a bit of improvement. Team C posted the highest score with a -51. That ranks (no pun intended) with the worst scores from last week. The best score was only a -2. There was some good scoring going on with that group. Team D members include Ken Steingart, Bill Gherasim, Greg Dunmore, Frank Gow, Norm Beattie, Bill Slater, Barry Miller, Jeff Brown, Ward Hutchins, Ron Tremblay, Gary McRae and Wayne Gillett. Congratulations to Bill Slater, who finally won some money after being shutout last year.

There was a 3-way tie for the highest plus. Ken Segedin, Gord Anderson and Ward Hutchins each earned $15. It’s not surprising that Gord Anderson was in that group. If you think the provincial deficit is high, check out Gord’s handicap.

In the skins game, six golfers earned $15 each. These include Gary Alderson (#3), Jim Sudds (#4), Joe Verhoeven (#8), Ron Koop (#10), Ejaz Qureshi (#14) and Gary McRae (#16).

Unfortunately, I don’t have any anecdotal additions to this report. I have not been playing and haven’t seen or heard much of anything. Maybe next week, someone will slip me a newsworthy snippet.

On Cloud 9 No ands, ifs or buts about it, this particular column will be based largely on ands, ifs and buts.

With an early, holiday-inspired press deadline staring me straight in the face and the National Hockey League’s infinite wisdom planting Game 7 of the Kings/Ducks series BRYAN on Friday night instead of JESSOP Thursday, my Round 3 predictions will have to include Jessop’s two different possibilities for the Western Conference Journal final. We couldn’t have the Kings and Ducks travel all the way from Los Angeles to Anaheim to play Game 7 the night after Game 6, could we? Good Lord, that would be like driving from Leamington to Windsor. Imagine the bus lag!

Seriously, without exaggerating, it’s a 50 km, 45-minute drive, even in city traffic conditions.

Anyway…

Chicago vs. Los Angeles — The Blackhawks are plugging along, taking one game more than I predicted to dispatch the Wild. They’re rested — but not too rested — for the conference final. Chicago fans might be concerned with the amount of effort their team needed to eliminate a wild card team, but Minnesota was a better group than most gave them credit for. They were not afraid to throw the

Show? I haven’t seen it in a while, but it used to end with what he called “your moment of Zen,” where he played a video clip of something hilarious happening to an unsuspecting person, usually a political dignitary of some sort.

Well, the dying minutes of Game 7 in the Boston/Montreal series offered me my moment of Zen. I’m referring to Daniel Briere’s power play goal to finish off the Bruins late in the third. The goal was that much more enjoyable to watch because it bounced off Chara’s skate on its way past Rask and into the net.

Sheer poetry.

I wish I could have been in Weise’s skates when Lucic made that post-series handshake threat. I would have laughed in his face and said “I’m not worried, I wear a really good cup.”

Oh yeah, the series against the Rangers…

This could be a real barn burner — two underdog teams, both of Original Six lineage, fighting for a shot at their first Cup since the early-mid ‘90s (1993 for the Habs, 1994 for the Rangers). Both are backed by solid goaltending. The Rangers have reasonably good depth — nobody’s reached 10 points in the 14 games it took them to get this far, but they’ve got four guys who could reach that milestone before Game 15 comes to an end. Defensively, they made Crosby look like a spectator on skates. And what can I say about Montreal? I can’t remember the last time a team without home-ice “advantage” in the first two rounds earned it for the third. Like New York, they have depth without having one particular key player. After 11 games, their points leader is a defenseman. Nobody has scored more than five goals (on that note, the Vanek trade is looking more worthwhile all the time), but they’ve

However, Johnston’s answered back with a goal from Mackenzie Higgens from Amy Bell. A completely goal-less second period followed.

body around and while in their own zone, seemed to have seven skaters on the ice. The ‘Hawks escaped pretty much unscathed, so I think they’ll be ready for a far more fatigued L.A. team. Playing 14 games to advance to the third round MUST bring with it a fair bit of wear and tear, even without any glaring, season-ending injuries. Right now, I can’t help but think Chicago is about to become the first back-to-back Cup winner since Detroit in 1997 and ’98. The Kings are the right kind of stubborn to fight off elimination, having been down 3-0 against the Sharks and 3-2 versus the Ducks, but the Hawks are just loaded. Chicago in five.

OR… Chicago vs. Anaheim — Damn. My near meditative will/ effort to eliminate the Ducks didn’t quite pan out. Getzlaf and Perry can — and have — made the difference in more than one playoff series and have thus far (afternoon of May 16) accounted for 24 combined points in 23 combined games. Not bad for the playoffs, when many superstars seem to sputter, disappoint and underwhelm (cough, cough, Sidney Crosby, cough, cough). From here I could just about copy and paste the reasons why I think Chicago will win from the paragraph above. I don’t particularly like the ‘Hawks, but I’d certainly rather see them advance to the final than the Ducks (man, what a horrible name for a professional sports franchise. Disney doesn’t own them anymore — CHANGE THE NAME). Chicago in six.

Montreal vs. New York Rangers — As a kid, my mind was completely blown by the Transformers when they first hit toy store shelves; vehicles that could change into robots and vice versa. How cool was that? Not nearly as impressive as Leafs fans transforming into Lightning fans, then transforming into Bruins fans (especially after last year’s playoffs) and then transforming into Rangers fans. The phenomenon is all over Facebook… and its hilarious. Seriously though, think of the potential financial ramifications of such silliness. If you spend $100 on a new jersey for every team that has a better chance than the Leafs of beating the Canadiens, you’ll be out $2,800. Better hope talk of expansion into Seattle and Quebec City are just rumours, or it’ll become an even three grand.

You’d probably think I’d be absolutely crushed to watch the Habs lose after getting this far. Well, you wouldn’t be too far off, but eliminating Boston will be enough to sustain a summer full of happiness all on its own, regardless of what happens from here. Have you ever watched The John Stewart

By Bryan Jessop As the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations senior boys 2A tournament draws near, so too does the opportunity for local businesses to gain province-wide exposure.

Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School will host this year’s three-day OFSAA title event at the Leamington Soccer Complex June 5-7. As hosts, the Cougars are guaranteed one of 20 positions in the tourney, which will bring about 450 players and coaches as well as fans of the guest teams to Leamington. The school’s vice principal and tournament convenor Jim Kittl points out that with this year’s OFSAA boys 2A championship gathering only two weeks away, local businesses should act quickly to take advantage of chances to advertise.

OFSAA guidelines explain that the host school must provide programs to players and coaches while also making them available to spectators. The program, Kittl explains, can include ads for Leamington-area restaurants and other businesses to attract hundreds of out-of-town visitors who will spend three nights in the area.

The 19 visiting teams will arrive Wednesday, June 4 for a coaches meeting and pre-tournament banquet to be hosted

by The Roma Club. Cardinal Carter has arranged to have Special Olympics medalist Corbin Watson appear as guest speaker. A former Cougar and 2014 bronze medalist in sledge hockey, Watson played for Cardinal Carter’s OFSAA team during his tenure at the local school.

Kittl and others among the six or seven committee members organizing the tournament are in discussions with municipal council to erect signage at the site of the provincial matches for additional advertising. Players representing the Cougars have each been assigned to solicit one or more business card-sized ads for the program, which will include the rosters of all 20 teams.

“It’s coming up quickly,” said Kittl of the provincial tournament. “There’s still time to be a sponsor, which would be great for local eateries and other businesses.”

As of last week, four teams including the Cougars confirmed their registration for the Ontario-wide tournament.

As some regions schedule senior boys soccer as an autumn sport, the St. Theresa Titans (Belleville), Holy Trinity Titans (Courtice) and Woodroffe Tigers (Ottawa area) have already qualified. This season, SWOSSAA will send two squads to OFSAA, one of them being Cardinal Carter. The Cougars lost their WECSSAA quarterfinal contest against the Kingsville Cavaliers, leaving the second local seed to whomever wins the 2014 SWOSSAA title.

Once the remaining teams are registered, schedules and game results will become available at www. ofsaa.on.ca/boys-aa-soccer.

To inquire about sponsorship and advertising opportunities, contact Kittl at 51921085 Pier Rd. RR#1 322-2804 ext. 48 or email Wheatley ON N0P 2P0 jim_kittl@wecdsb.on.ca.

James Saba sends the ball away from an incoming Kingsville player during a WECSSAA 2A senior boys soccer quarterfinal match at Cardinal Carter Thursday, May 15. The Cavaliers upset their hosts with a 2-1 win to advance to the semis. Andrew Valle scored the only goal for the hosts, heading the ball into the Cavs’ net to earn a brief 1-1 tie. Colton Williams and Austin Brewster scored for Kingsville. The Cougars will wait until regional champions are determined before hosting this year’s OFSAA tournament at the Leamington Soccer Complex June 5-7.

Local schools getting fit

By Bryan Jessop The Greater Essex County District School Board has focused on slimming down, but in a way that has nothing to do with meeting budget demands.

Schools from across the county participated in their annual Fit Week from Monday, May 12 to Friday, May 16. This year’s theme of ‘My Best Every Day’ focused on a busy week of activities and strategies to encourage healthy exercise regimes and eating habits for all GECDSB schools, including those in Leamington. The five-day strategy was to a large extent created and organized by the board’s Joint Employee Assistance Program (J.E.A.P.) representatives. These reps provided a list of suggestions and ideas to the staff of each school, who in turn implemented a five-day schedule for their students. Many of the ideas came courtesy of Jack Miner Public School

Grade 3 to 8 athletes from Margaret D. Bennie Public School were presented with gold, silver and bronze medals for their respective age categories during a Fit Week celebration assembly at the school Friday, May 16. The medals were earned during the school’s annual Track and Field Day held Thursday, May 8.

in Kingsville.

“We’ve been having a lot of fun with it,” said M.D. Bennie Public School teacher Marlene Augerman.

“There are a lot of great ideas that the students really enjoy.”

At M.D. Bennie, the week began Monday with a spirited round of cha-cha dancing in the school’s hallways with music broadcast over the P.A. system. Throughout the week, Grade 4/5 and 5/6 students also made P.A.

fitness announcements, offering exercise and dietary advice and tips.

On Tuesday, staff and students headed outdoors to enjoy Frisbee, hula-hooping and skipping. The school also played calm, relaxing music during scheduled nutrition breaks. Wednesday featured a walk along Leamington’s Community Trail and the school’s property while staff were encouraged to bring ingredients for a make-your-own salad bar.

Staff could also take advantage of a blood pressure and cholesterol clinic on Thursday while students took part in yoga-inspired activities that focused on balance, stretching and breathing techniques.

Friday wrapped things up with a Blue Fitweek Good News draw of tickets that students received from teachers for taking part in Fit Week over the previous four days. Staff and students also gathered in the gymnasium to dance along to the Wii game ‘Just Dance’ and for the announcement of medal winners from the school’s annual Track and Field Day, held Thursday, May 8. Winners from this year’s age/gender categories were as follows:

• eight-year-old girls — Breanne Epp (gold, 43 points), Emily Pelitier nad Kaylee Munoz (silver, 41 points each) and Lena Fehr (bronze, 23 points); • eight-year-old boys — Seth Zylstra (gold, 60 points), Hunter Morris (silver, 45 points) and Jack McLellan (bronze, 28 points); • nine-year-old girls — Kalin Lougheed (gold, 60 points), Ava Hildebrandt (silver, 48 points), Emma Tiessen (bronze, 28 points); • nine-year-old boys — Carter Diemer (gold, 48 points), Diedrich Penner (silver, 42 points) and Cole Knapp (bronze, 36 points); • 10-year-old girls — Sierra Baltzer (gold, 58 points), Alexa Taylor (sil-

Top performers from each of this year’s categories moved on to the regional track and field event hosted by Leamington District Secondary School Tuesday, May 20. With new guidelines dividing regions by population rather than proximity, the only two Leamington schools attending the LDSS event were M.D. Bennie and Queen Elizabeth. Other schools made the trip to Leamington from Belle River, Kingsville and Windsor areas.

Bantam Lakers win a pair The Leamington Bantam Lakers won two games against a couple of tough opponents last week in Sun Parlour League action.

On Friday evening, May 16, the locals hosted the Belle River Braves and came away with a 12-7 victory. The next afternoon they visited the Essex Yellow Jackets and battled to an exciting 5-4 win.

“It is still early in the season,” said coach Chris Lamotte, “but we know both these teams are strong and will be tough competition this year so it was nice to pull off a couple wins.”

Five runs in the second and fifth innings was the catalyst for the win under the lights against rival Belle River.

Aidan Massad led the way with three hits, while Dawson Iles and Branden Teichroeb stroked a pair of safeties. Kyle Wall had a double.

James Hiebert, Lucas Lamotte, Massad and Anthony Fehr all took to the mound to team up for the win.

The next day the Lakers broke open a 3-3 tie with two runs in the top of the seventh inning, then held Essex to a single run on their way to the 5-4 victory.

Lamotte crushed a long ball between left and centre field to score Iles to break the deadlock and then scored the eventual winner on a groundout to second base.

Two big defensive plays snuffed out potential Essex rallies. In the third inning, Derrick Antunes highlightreel catch in left field ended the inning and took away an extra base hit with an Essex runner on second.

In the sixth inning, with bases loaded, two outs and a full count on the batter, Massad caught the Essex players running early and threw out the baserunner at second with a heads-up pick-off play to Brett Enns.

Hiebert started the game against the Yellow Jackets with relief from Jessica Jeffery and Massad.

The Leamington Howie’s Custom Coating Bantam Lakers next home game is Tuesday, May 27 against the LaSalle Minor Titans at 6:15 p.m. at the Kinsmen Baseball Complex.

Senior golfers enjoy sunny golf day

By Bob McLean

The Southpoint Sun - 23

Race night cut short due to rain

By Mike Bennett The May 17th race night at South Buxton Raceway was halted by rain before the four main feature races.

They will be rescheduled to start the Saturday, May 24 race program, followed by heat races for all five classes and a second set of features.

Jeff Schives is three-forthree in Autotech Bombers feature races to open the 2014 stock car racing season at South Buxton Raceway. The Blenheim driver started Saturday night’s 13car feature in the fifth row but moved into the lead by lap four and drove away from the field.

Earlier in the night, Schives won the heat race as he has five wins and a second-place finish in his six overall races.

Blenheim’s Evan Bonner finished second, followed

by Chatham’s Brandon Ardis, Blenheim’s Austin Pickering and Chatham’s Ryan O’Hearn to round out the top five.

The other four division feature races were cancelled as a heavy downpour during the intermission shortened

Seventy senior golfers participated on the second day of league play on May 13 at Talbot Trail Golf Club. Unfortunately, because of excessive precipitation this spring, the golf carts were restricted to cart paths only, and this prevented some of the members from playing. However, those who did play enjoyed a beautiful, warm sunny day. Hopefully, the overall cool wet weather this spring will be gone soon, and this will permit the carts to move freely around on each hole.

The best score was fired by Pat Hill, who managed the 9 holes in an impressive 40. He was closely followed by the previous week’s leader, Jerry Omstead, who achieved an outstanding 41. Three golfers who produced terrific 42s were Jim Pearson, Joe Vertel and Garnet Fox. Vic Reynaert and youngster Randy Hewey shot superb 43s. Neil Adamson and Mike Wright are getting their golf games in form as indicated by their solid 44s. Four golfers who travelled the TT links with very commendable 45s were Herb Reid, Bob Patchett, Steve Price and Rick Thompson.

Players who also produced praiseworthy results that were less than 50 were Paul Harrison, Homer Vandervecht, Gerry Holmes, Bill Derbyshire, Dave Clark, Doug Langlois, Mike Getty, Larry Haggitt, Jerry Cattanach, Bill Ward, Kevin Jordan, Ray La Pierre, Gerald Rivait, Bob Lee, Al Matthews, Jim Omstead, Tom Hyatt and John Liddell. Nifty 50 scores came from Paul R. Brown, Richard Humber and Brian Brown.

Three new players were welcomed to the league. They are Gerry Benniger, Bob Lee and Reg Flewelling.

Jerry Omstead won the long putt for #2 and Gerry Holmes fired a masterful shot on #9 to win the closest to the pin.

On a personal note, I relate the following to you. Before you tee off for your first shot of the day be sure you have loosened up properly.

Also, if you have consistent backaches you might want to consider slowing your swing or stopping golf for the day. I didn’t heed this advice and I’m now suffering the consequences of a sore back which is preventing me from playing at this time.

Your golf scores will be reported in the various age groups starting in June.

Four drivers were twofor-two in the preliminary races before the Saturday’s early conclusion.

Kingsville’s Rob Young, in the Tirecraft Sport Stocks, and Ridgetown’s Dale Glassford, in the Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Models, both won their heat and pursuit races.

Shrewsbury’s Jim Dale Jr., in the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UM Modifieds, and Dresden’s Matt Sorrell in the Tirecraft Mini-Mods, took the checkereds in their heats and dashes.

The other heat race winners were Leamington’s Joel Dick in the Modifieds,

Wallaceburg’s Gary Vyse in the Sport Stocks and Chatham’s John Pinsonneault Jr. in the Mini-Mods.

Blenheim’s Shawn Hope won the other Bomber heat race.

The grandstand opens at 5 p.m. and racing begins with the four rescheduled feature races at 7 p.m.
