Gas tax funding going to municipalites

By Ron Giofu Essex County and its seven member municipalities will be receiving some extra cash thanks to the redistribution of legacy gas tax funds.

Essex County Council approved a report from director of corporate services/ treasurer Rob Maisonville as well as the associated bylaws which sees the funding distributed to the seven municipalities. Maisonville said while the split between counties and member municipalities is generally 50/50, the agreed split between Essex County and its seven municipalities is 80/20 with 80 per cent split between the seven municipalities.

In all, the County received $95,656 and retains $38,262.40 after the redistribution to the seven municipalities. Lakeshore is the lower tier municipality that receives the most at $29,750.40 with LaSalle receiving $24,667.20 and Leamington $24,460.80.

Tecumseh will receive $20,332.80. Amherstburg’s share will be $18,563.20, while Kingsville will get $18,396. Essex is slated to receive $16,878.40.

Maisonville said gas tax allocations have gone up slightly in recent years and the County has to use its share for a specific department.

“For county purposes, it’s always roads,” he said.

The federal government allocated about $30.2 million nationally with $10.9 million coming to Ontario and distributed through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

Science class involved in national climate Call For Action

By Bryan Jessop Students from opposite ends of a classroom often collaborate on school projects, but they rarely join forces with cohorts from opposite ends of the country.

A Grade 10 Leamington District Secondary School science class recently did exactly that, conducting a three-and-a-half-month research project before linking up to a live stream with Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna and high school students from coast-to-coast communities.

The live feed was broadcast from Green Learning Canada’s Facebook page with 25 Canadian high schools — including LDSS — taking part.

Twitter messages and feedback were sent from participating schools during the one-hour live stream, hosted Thursday, May 18.

While other schools brought hot button climate change topics such as transportation-related emissions to the minister’s attention, the Leamington Grade 10 class focused its efforts on a lesser-known yet equaling pressing issue contributing to climate change. The local science students embarked upon a community-wide study on food waste, revealing some surprising information on the topic.

“Nobody really knows about how big of an issue it is,” said Grade 10 LDSS science student and Eco Team member Brett Jacobs.

“It really is a problem that needs a lot more public education.”

Jacobs, who lives on a local farm, explained that his family composts food waste into its fields — an average of about 1.5 litres per day of items such as apple cores, coffee grounds and field waste. Leamington District Secondary School has implemented an on-site

program where unwanted lunch items are dropped off at a table on the main-floor hallway for other students to take free of charge. The school has also partnered with the Leamingtonbased Southwestern Ontario Gleaners, from where a photo appeared during Green Learning Canada’s live stream with McKenna.

The local science class study — sent to Green Learning Canada — noted that food waste emits methane, a greenhouse gas with short-term effects that are 86 times more detrimental than carbon dioxide. Science teacher Lisa Jeffery and Jacobs both noted that food waste emissions are to a large extent responsible for Canada being the world’s third-worst greenhouse gas emitter, behind only China and the United States. Each year, Canada wastes $31 billion in spoiled food.

Solutions brought up by the LDSS class include taking the lead from France, where it is illegal for grocery stores to dispose of unsold food. The local class would also like to see a food waste pick up service introduced to Leamington, where such material could be sent to Seacliff Energy and transformed into electricity or thermal energy.

The Leamington school also set up a donation project where unwanted food is sent to a secluded First Nation community in Northern Ontario. In a climate change-related setback, the shipment of food couldn’t be sent because of a driver message reporting one of the ice roads used to access the reserve had melted to the point where the delivery truck’s axles were buried in slush. Leamington District Secondary School also sends gently-used hockey equipment to the Northern Ontario community of Pi-

Leamington District Secondary Schools Grade 10 science class listens in on a live stream hosted by greenlearning.ca Thursday, May 18. The Canada-wide feed was established through Facebook and included Twitter feedback from schools across the country, including LDSS. The local school conducted a study and report on the effects of food waste on climate change — one of the issues that was addressed by Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna during the video-audio stream.

kangikum.

Based on its findings, LDSS has sent a series of recommendations to McKenna, including the federally-funded public education of food waste’s impact in Canada.

“We have a lot of advice for the federal government,” Jeffery said with a laugh.

“Fortunately, they always seem to take it freely.”

In the LDSS recommendations, public education would teach consumers better shopping habits and how to properly compost food waste for the pick up service it would like to see the municipality adapt. The class also suggested the practice of elementary schools starting lunch hours after recess, when children have worked up an appetite that would leave them less likely to dispose of food items in their

lunch bags.

“In Canada, we know climate change is real,” McKenna explained during the national live stream on May 18. “We know we have to act. We have to get down to business. We have lots of awesome young people who care about the planet. What I love about technology is that we can now contact so many people.”

In response to a request for evidence of climate change in the participating schools’ own communities, Jeffery tweeted temperature recordings that averaged between 15 and 16 degrees Celsius from February 18 to 25, photos of daffodils blooming on February 25, lake flooding information, aerial photographs of Lake Erie algae blooms and reports of tick activity in local wetlands.

Traffic issues continue in Leamington Last week’s tragic accident at the crosswalk on Erie Street South only serves to remind us that life is really fleeting.

Crossing Erie Street in Leamington is a risky thing, even on a good day.

A couple of weeks ago, I watched a woman trying to cross Erie Street South with her dogs and she got to the middle and turned around, quickly retreating to where she came from, only to try again a few minutes later.

The traffic on Erie always seems to travel above the speed limit. I’m guilty of it too. I find myself accelerating up that hill between Georgia Ave. and the cemetery, only glancing at my speedometer as I reach Tim Hortons and slow down for the light there.

I tend to park across from CIBC when I go in there, and crossing there is always dicey, so it’s not exclusive to the Hortons-Walmart corridor.

The accident at the Highbury crossing claimed the life of a young man who was just trying to get to work.

That ‘courtesy crossing’ and the others in town are really not designed with safety in mind, in my opinion.

Just last week, I stopped at the one on Robson Road near the marina to let a young woman with a baby stroller cross and came very close to being rear-ended by a car that came up like a bat out of hell behind me. There’s a slight curve in the road there and he barely got stopped near my rear bumper.

I’ve also watched cars stop in one lane to let another car out of a driveway or intersection with no thought about the cars coming in the other lane. Please stop doing that. Sure, you’re being courteous, but you’re also putting someone in danger of getting t-boned by someone else who’s not aware that you’re letting someone out into traffic.

I seldom stop at the crossing at Highbury because I think it gives those waiting to cross, a false sense of security. Just because I stopped, it doesn’t mean that the other people are

Canadians paying $1.4 billion each year in gasoline tax-on-tax The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on the federal government to end the practice of applying the HST/GST after provincial and federal excise taxes have already been charged. This practice of “taxon-tax” was highlighted as part of the CTF’s 19th annual Gas Tax Honesty Day on May 18.

“A few cents a litre may not sound like much, but it quickly adds up,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Eliminating this tax-on-tax would save Canadians a total of $1.4 billion each year.”

The CTF’s 2017 Gas Tax Honesty Day report shows that taxes make up most of the price difference from province to province, and even city to city. Manitoba and Saskatchewan have the lowest gas prices because they have the lowest gas taxes, while Vancouver and Newfoundland have the highest prices because they have amongst the highest gas taxes.

“On average, Canadians are paying 36% of the price at the pump in gas taxes,” said Wudrick. “It’s 44% in Newfoundland. And with new carbon taxes in Alberta and Ontario, it is only getting worse in most provinces.”

“Compounding high gas taxes with a sneaky taxon-tax is not transparent nor fair,” said Wudrick, “The government must put an end to this rip-off and provide some long overdue relief at the pump.”

The 19th annual Gas Tax Honesty Day reportm including detailed calculations and breakdowns of gas taxes across the country, can be found at www.taxpayer. com/media/2017-GTHD-EN.pdf The CTF is Canada’s leading non-partisan citizens’ advocacy group fighting for lower taxes, less waste and accountable government. Founded in 1990, the CTF has more than 117,000 supporters and 7 offices across Canada.

going to stop in the other MARK lane. That’s likely what RIBBLE happened last week. No fault of anyone. It was an accident that was the Rib’s culmination of a lot of Ramblings things coming together at exactly the same time.

I was pumping gas at 7-11 when the police and ambulances arrived at that scene and could tell it was very serious by the urgency being shown there.

Maybe it’s time that we do away with the courtesy crossings and either force people to cross at the nearest traffic light or erect a light there that can be pressed by the pedestrians to stop the traffic completely (similar to the one near the hospital). I’m no engineer, but surely this is far safer than counting on people’s good intentions to stop.

Tragedies will happen from time to time, and I’m sure that the driver of that car at the crosswalk is quite devastated by what happened there. Of course, the family of that young man will never be the same either.

On a related point, you can tell that the nice weather is here. The roaring motors up and down the most southern parts of Erie Street can be heard all hours of the night. There seems to be a defined circuit, from the Tim Hortons parking lot down Erie, through the dock loop and onto Robson to the marina parking lot, over and over again.

I think that dock loop has been the go-to cruising destination for teenagers since cars first took to the streets. In the seventies, we would do that loop and out onto the dock and back up the street. I’ve never had a muscle car, so I had no need to rev my engine or squeal my tires. My 4-cylinder 1980 Mustang couldn’t get enough RPMs to squeal anyway.

I guess times haven’t changed that much after all.

Thinking of hosting a grad party?

Be prepared, says OPP Summer is just around the corner and the school year is coming to a close. Undoubtedly Essex County teens will be attending graduation and end of the year prom parties in the coming weeks. Will it be an alcohol and drug free party?

If alcohol and/or drugs are involved it is quite possible the party may get out of control, leading to situations where teens and young adults expose themselves to unnecessary risks, both legal and health related. Youth who drink alcohol are at a higher risk of harm compared to adults due to their inexperience and lower tolerance. Quite often decisions made under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs lead to dangerous situations that can cause serious injury and death.

The Ontario Provincial Police is warning all parents and caregivers of the inherent dangers of attending and/or hosting after-prom parties. Property owners can and have been held civilly responsible for injuries sustained to persons on their property. Police want to make it very clear that unsupervised after-prom parties and/or “field parties” are unsafe environments for anyone. Police are often called to investigate criminal reports of assault, drug and alcohol offences, sexual assaults, thefts, mischief and other related crimes stemming from these types of parties.

Police are encouraging parents and caregivers to speak with young people about the associated dangers of attending such events and find alternative activities for them to partake in.

And for those who choose to attend or host one of these parties to be prepared for an increase in police presence as at this time of year OPP members are out aggressively enforcing the law to ensure youth enjoy these gatherings in a safe and responsible manner.

Everyone has a part to play in community safety and it is our hope that anyone with information on suspected field parties or unsupervised after-prom parties will contact the Essex County OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Further information and tips on how to host a safe grad party can be found at www.safegrad.com and www.madd.ca

Pedestrian suffers fatal injuries

An 18-year-old pedestrian struck by a vehicle in Leamington on May 15, 2017 has passed away.

Morgan Harder of Leamington was struck by a grey Pontiac on the courtesy crosswalk at the Highbury Canco Corporation on Erie Street South at approximately 1:30 p.m.

The driver of the vehicle was not injured.

The investigation is continuing but no charges are anticipated at this time.

Annual Cancer System Quality Index results available The Canadian System Quality Index released its latest provincial quality improvement index May 17. The data shows patients receiving cancer treatment in Windsor remain among the most satisfied in the province when it comes to the patient experience, but there is room for improvement at both a system and individual level.

The Cancer System Quality Index (CSQI) measures 35 indicators from prevention and screening to end-of-life care and survivorship. The results are reported by region and allow Cancer Care Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to track and assess the quality and consistency of the cancer system in Ontario and identify areas that need improvement.

Findings from the CSQI 2017 show the Erie St. Clair LHIN region has: • Above average scores for most areas related to patient satisfaction with their experience.

• Above average risk factors for cancer. Individuals are more likely to smoke and consume more than the recommended amount of alcohol, they are also more likely to be obese and less likely to eat vegetables or exercise.

• Above average incident rates of lung, prostate and female breast cancer and below average incidents of colorectal cancer.

• Below average screening rates for many cancers including women who are known to be at high risk for breast cancer.

• One of the quickest wait times for patient pathology results after surgery. This allows a quicker start to care plans and treatments.

Over the past 13 years since it was created, the CSQI has raised the bar for cancer care across Ontario and has led to significant improvements for patients in the Erie St. Clair region.

Every evening — 7 days per week, constantly from mid-evening to midnight — cars and motorcycles are speeding along Robson Road, turning into the marina and spinning their tires, then speeding back onto Robson only to repeat again and again. We have witnessed many close calls. At the same time, young adults are at the marina screaming out cheers to the drivers of these vehicles.

In my opinion this is “stunt” driving. Our beautiful marina is a dangerous place to take young children. The boat owners do not want to hear such a racket. Music and events such as Art at the Marina are spoiled. Many seniors live in our building and cross the road to go to the park.

Please do not brush this aside. Sooner or later some one will get hurt.

instructor demonstrates a Tai Chi move several times, then performs it with the class and finally watches the students as they repeat it. You don’t have to be in great shape when you start to learn Tai Chi. That will come with time. It only takes four months to be introduced to the basic movements. Learning is a developmental process and after the four months the more you practice, the more you benefit and learn.

While all Tai Chi styles are about gentle turning and stretching, the Taoist Tai

Chi™ style is specifically designed to improve health.

The significant degree of turning and stretching in each of the movements contributes to better balance and posture, increased strength and flexibility, and calmness and peace of mind. Visit a class or attend an open house and you’ll see people of all ages benefiting from the healing movements of this ancient art.

The total raised during these two events was $1,800, which was donated to the local chapter of Autism Ontario.

Maria Melo-Almeida and Andrew Almeida of Toronto take photos and get a closer view of songbird arrivals at Point Pelee National Park during the annual Festival of Birds Thursday, May 18.

This year’s worldwide attraction took place May 1 to May 22 and again drew birding enthusiasts from across Ontario, Canada and the globe.

Wednesday, May 24, 2017

Visitors walk along the Marsh Boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park during the annual Festival of Birds Thursday, May 18.

Festival of Birds draws large crowds

By Bryan Jessop Many birding enthusiasts found 100 — or even 150 — good reasons to visit Point Pelee National Park during the first three weeks of May. The yearly Festival of Birds at Canada’s most southerly national park again attracted tens of thousands of birders from across the county, the province, the nation and the world. This year’s occasion kicked off Monday, May 1 and wrapped up on Victoria Day — Monday, May 22. Again, several hundred guests embarked upon guiding birding hikes, the almost daily Shorebird Celebration, Twilight Hikes, Wildflower Walks, species identification clinics and Lunch and Learn sessions hosted by the park’s Visitors’ Centre.

Prior to the final weekend — Saturday, May 20 to the holiday Monday, May 22 — approximately 44,000 visitors made their way through Point Pelee’s entry gates to take advantage of optimal bird watching and photography conditions. Over the past few years, the event’s attendance averaged about 40,000 enthusiasts hoping to catch a glimpse or photo of rarely seen species completing their migration back to northern climates for the calendar year’s warmer months. This year’s spike in the overall turnout was partially attributed to Canada 150 celebrations, granting free access to the country’s national parks for outdoors enthusiasts who had previously ordered passes.

“We’ve been really happy with it this year,” explained Point Pelee National Park promotions officer and lifelong birder Sarah Rupert. “We’re seeing young people, families and a lot of new faces too, which is really exciting for us.”

Birders arriving at Point Pelee and nearby sites like Hillman Marsh have made the trip from across Canada and the United States as well as Japan, Britain and mainland European nations. The 100 Species Challenge made its return this year, accompanied by the 150 Species Challenge in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday. Each consecutive year since 2013, the former has featured a pin adorned by a different species of bird. The 700 copies made this year ran out on the final day of the Festival. The 150 made for the 150 Species Challenge ran out earlier in the month.

Rupert explained that the park’s recent Sand Spit Restoration Project has paid off with the sightings of species that had previously been unseen locally over the past years and decades. American Avocets, Kirtland’s Warblers, White Wing Doves, Yellow Breasted Chats and Prothonotary Warblers have been among the rare and nationally endangered species that had once disappeared from Point Pelee making local comebacks. For many visitors, the park itself was all the incentive needed to make the trip to the Leamington area.

A male Brown-headed Cowbird rests in the branches of a tree near the Visitors’ Centre at Point Pelee National Park.

A Baltimore Oriole rests on a branch near one of the walking trails at Point Pelee National Park .

“It’s been a couple years since we’ve been here,” said Andrew Ameida, who made the trip from Toronto along with Maria Melo-Almeida. “We love this park. It’s one of our favourites.”

Weather in the early stages of the festival challenged guests with heavy wind and rain and for one day, flooding at the main entrance/exit. Otherwise, Rupert noted, weather conditions were favourable.

Receiving the Cobean award from the OAO was a testament to my ongoing vision for this field of practice.

Thank you for the honor to provide optometric care to all my patients.

A special thank you to my family, staff and colleagues.

Without you I would not have been able to achieve this.

The Southpoint Sun - 9

Horticultural Society has a busy start to spring LHS Update

By Catherine Riediger April turned out to be a very busy month for the Leamington Horticultural Society and its members. The month kicked off with 8 members heading to St. Thomas on April 7 for the Society’s annual field trip. They attended the 3-day Canadale Nursery Spring Garden Show which is held to celebrate spring and raise funds for the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital. It was a most enjoyable day once the weatherman cooperated, and the rain and wind died down. It was a gardener’s and shopper’s delight to behold the variety of annual and perennial plants, Easter decorations, garden ornaments, decorative flowerpots, and flower arrangements.

After the Canadale tour, everyone had worked up an appetite so they stopped at the Wayside Restaurant at Talbotville. Fortified and refreshed after a delicious luncheon, the group headed off to Berry Hill Limited for more shopping and sightseeing pleasures.

On the way home the group stopped at the Crazy Eight Barn in Palmyra. This rare octagon barn constructed in the late 1890s was moved to the current site and turned into a four-season building with a small café, many home and garden curiosities for sale, furniture made from reclaimed wood, local preserves, honey, cider and fabulous Crazy Eight Barn baking. I highly recommend the peach pie.

The guest speaker for the April 19 monthly general meeting was Marlene Mastronardi from Anna’s Flowers who gave a very informative slide presentation on “Up and Coming Flowers”. Every year there are many new varieties being introduced into the plant world which are unique, colourful and improved, and which challenges the avid gardener to introduce them into their garden designs.

The Social Committee arranged another field trip on April 25 to tour Orangeline Farms located on Highway 77. Orangeline is one of the first greenhouses in this area to grow strawberries as well as being an award-winning boutique grower of specialty greenhouse products. From all reports, everyone who took part in the tour found it very interesting and the Communities in Bloom committee think it should be included in the judges tour in July.

This was also the year for the Leamington Horticultural Society to host the Spring District 11 Annual General Meeting. The meeting was held April 29 at St. John’s Anglican Church. The attendees from the surrounding horticultural societies were greeted with red and white decorations to celebrate Canada’s 150 Anniversary. The guest speaker was Paul Giroux from the City of Windsor who spoke on tree management. A tasty and plentiful luncheon was provided by the ladies of St. John’s Anglican Church. There was also a flower arrangement competition with some unusual and imaginative ideas for containers and arrangements.

Along with all this, there was the organizing for the annual plant sale on May 13, the planning for the town planting of the flowerpots and flowerbeds, and the start-up of the 2017 Communities in Bloom campaign. Looking ahead to the month of May, it looks like it will be just as busy as April. From all signs it also looks like we will have a lovely spring this year and it will be a gardening pleasure.

100-year anniversary of Commonwealth War Graves Commission

This year marks the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s centennial anniversary.

On May 21, 1917, a Royal Charter established the Imperial War Graves Commission, later to become known as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Its values and aims, laid out in 1917, remain as relevant today as they were 100 years ago and guide this special organization in marking and maintaining Commonwealth graves from both the First and Second World Wars.

They ensure that 1.7 million war dead in more than 150 countries have a final place of rest. There are more than 935,000 known graves in the Commission’s 2,500 war cemeteries and plots, or within some 20,000 other burial grounds worldwide. The remaining 760,000 who have no known grave, are listed on one of the many memorials to the missing, which are placed in locations appropriate to the relevant theatres of war in which the deaths occurred.

The work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission over the last century has helped ensure that the 1.7 million Commonwealth service members who died during the First and Second World Wars will never be forgotten.

Concert to benefit SWO Gleaners, coffee house A fundraising concert will be held at The Bank Theatre in support of Southwestern Ontario Gleaners and Sun Parlour Coffee House Sessions. This is a free will event; however, donations will be graciously accepted for these organizations.

The concert is on Sunday, May 28. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., and the concert takes place from 2-4 p.m. The performers are Leamington’s Dale Butler & Friends, co-billing with British Columbia’s Ken Dunn and Anna Green. The emcee for the afternoon is Jan Hall of ‘Folk Roots Radio with Jan Hall’.

Ken Dunn is originally from Windsor. He combines an adept finger style acoustic guitar technique with strong, distinctive vocals. When performing with partner Anna Green, their beautiful vocal harmonies enhance the emotional depth and character of live performances.

Affectionately known locally as “The Dale”, Dale Butler calls Leamington home. Whether he is performing as a solo artist, as a duet or with his band, Dale Butler’s versatility as an entertainer is borne from his many years of experience.

The Southwestern Ontario Gleaners mandate is to “Feed the hungry”. It is an interdenominational non-profit organization that provides free dehydrated soup mix and dehydrated fruit for distribution to local community partners and reputable relief agencies around the world. Volunteers and generous donations are needed to fulfill their goal worldwide.

Sun Parlour Coffee House Sessions says: “Our goal at the SPCHS is simple – to produce high-quality video sessions

snagged the front fender of her sister’s K-car. It really did a job on the K-car but the Plymouth came out unscathed.

“The car is 90% original, even including the door and trunk weather-stripping. The interior is original as well. I did find the ‘build sheet’ but it was misplaced. I still have the original bill of sale. We now use the car on summer nights for cruisin’ and car shows. Once in a while, our daughters take it out just for old time’s sake (if they get the chance).

“I do get asked occasionally, why I don’t drive the ’67 more often. My answer to them: I’ve been driving it for 50 years so do get a little tired of it at times. But summer is just around the corner and the cruise nights aren’t far off.”

The Plymouth Satellite for 1967 rode on a wheelbase of 116 inches and was available in two body styles: hardtop and convertible. A total of 30,328 hardtops were built but only 2,050 convertibles, making Wes Ball’s ragtop rare even when it was new. By 1971, a total of 13 models of Satellite were available, including the Road Runner hardtop coupe. The Satellite name lasted from 1965 to 1974 and was probably inspired by the growing number of artificial satellites being fired into orbit around the Earth.

The Southpoint Sun - 15

CommunityLiving fundraiser begins

By Bryan Jessop When it comes to raising both funds and awareness, the local branch of a provincial organization is making sure it has its ducks in a “row.”

In support of a Community Living Ontario event being led by the father of an individual with physical and intellectual challenges, Community Living Essex County has set out to chip in with a fundraising and awareness campaign of its own. After it was announced that Pickering, Ont. resident Colin Sanders would be rowing 4,000 km across the Atlantic Ocean in support of his son Jeff, Community Living Essex County stepped forward and held what has simply been dubbed the Stationary Rowing Event.

The local occasion will take place Saturday, June 10 from 9 a.m. to noon, hosted by Beach Walk Family Fitness in Essex. Participants are collecting pledges in order to compete as individuals or part of a team in a series of challenges, trying to complete the most ‘strokes’ — in similar fashion to paddlers on a rowboat — on the facility’s rowing machines. Community Living Essex County community relations and resource development manager Tony DeSantis hopes the three-hour event will attract 100 or more entries. Top pledge collectors will earn prizes including FitBits. For further information on the June 10 fundraiser, call 519-776-6483 ext. 282 or visit the website www.communitylivingessex.org/millionpossibilities. A printable pledge form can be accessed from the website.

The occasion was preceded by a kickoff to support Sanders’ event — dubbed A Million Possibilities: Solo Ocean Row — set to take place in December of this year. Guests gathered at Beach Walk Family Fitness, which is backing the local rowing event as a sponsor along with Libro Credit Union, AM 800, Festival Tent and Party Rentals and the University of Windsor’s Faculty of Human Kinetics. During the Tuesday, May 9 kickoff, Community Living Essex Count client and Team Canada Special Olympian Jordon Miner performed a demonstration on one of Beach Walk’s

From left to right, Special Olympian Jordon Miner, Community Living Essex County executive director Nancy Wallace-Gero, University of Windsor Kinesiology Department’s Suzanna Ali, Community Living Essex County administrative officer Natalie Crawford, Beach Walk Family Fitness corporate wellness director Wanda Rodrigues and owner Renee Brouchu, Libro Credit Union branch manager Wassim Sarweh and Community Living Essex County community relations and resource development manager Tony DeSantis were among those attending a kickoff event in support of Community Living Ontario. In December of this year, Colin Sanders will row across the Atlantic Ocean in support of CLO. In support of the event, CL Essex County held a stationary rowing event at Beach Walk Family Fitness Saturday, May 13.

rowing machines.

“It’s awesome,” Miner said of being involved with the local kickoff in support of Sanders’ upcoming solo journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua. “I’m happy to be able to do this.”

Miner, an Essex resident, represented Team Canada during the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles. During the nine-day event, Miner participated in 10-pin bowling, basketball and slopitch softball.

The young athlete is currently an employee at Little Caesars Pizza in Essex.

During the kickoff, Community Living Essex County community relations and resource development manager Tony DeSantis thanked the local event’s sponsors, who he described as pivotal components of fundraising efforts.

“We set the bar high with everything we do, but we can’t

do it by ourselves,” he explained. “It’s extremely important to have partnerships like this.”

The local fundraiser is being set up at Beach Walk Family Fitness through a connection made between DeSantis — who first became a member of the gym about a year-and-ahalf ago — and facility owner Renee Brouchu.

Between the Stationary Rowing Event and Sanders’ journey for Community Living Ontario, DeSantis is encouraging residents across the county to make donations through the local branch’s Facebook page and website www.communitylivingessex.org. To make a contribution in support of the ongoing campaign, scroll down to “Make a Donation” under the “Get Involved” menu and follow the on-screen series of prompts.

Ten Thousand Villages closing its Leamington store

Submitted by Carolyn Reid This news story about Ten Thousand Villages store is bittersweet. Bitter because there is now a “For Sale” sign on the building and the store will be closing June 30. It is sweet because of the friendship of the volunteers, a business for 20 years with sales of over $1.5-million. Sweet because we know we have helped thousands of artisans improve their lifestyles, educate their children, improve their living quarters, and be free from the poverty line, happy and at peace with themselves. Sweet because of all the precious memo-

ries made in our 20 years together.

On June 15 all the volunteers will be dining together and celebrating the burning of the mortgage on the building.

There will be a 50% sale on all gifts in the store. On June 6 the public is invited to shop.

Thank you to all the people who have shopped at Ten Thousand Villages. You have helped us create brighter futures for the artisans in developing countries through meaningful work and fair wages. Fair Trade has been a blessing to these people.

Fair Trade: Since 1946, Ten Thousand Villages has supported the work of artisans in over 30 countries. The name originates with Ghandi’s quote: “India is not to be found in its few cities but in the 700,000 villages… we have hardly ever paused to inquire if these folks get sufficient to eat and clothe themselves with.”

We believe that each village in the world represents a unique people offering extraordinary products born of rich traditions. See their stories and shop online at www.

Local veteran denied Memorial Cup presentation honours

By Bryan Jessop Three days before the Canadian Hockey League’s Memorial Cup tournament was scheduled to begin, a local decorated military veteran was denied an honour that had been committed to him only days earlier.

Bob Kelly, who served with the First Batallion of the Royal Canadian Regiment Special Forces in the 1950s, was told early last week that plans to have him attend the pre-tournament parade with the Cup and later present it to the championship team was scheduled to proceed as planned. At 11 p.m. on the evening of Monday, May 15, his home received a phone call from the same organizing committee member that said the plan was still “a go” about a week earlier, asking him and his wife Shirley Affleck to attend a meeting at the Tim Hortons restaurant at Devonshire Mall on Tuesday morning. There, with only the committee member, Kelly and Affleck in attendance, the Staples-area couple was told that Kelly would no longer be involved with the presentation of the Memorial Cup. “Hopefully after it’s all over, there’ll be time to discuss this,” said Kelly’s wife. “I think we’re owed an explanation and some answers. None of this makes any sense to us.”

Initial requests for information as to why Kelly was being denied an honour that he was told he would carry out only days earlier were met only with an explanation that there had been changes made to the tournament’s administration. Affleck described the committee member who broke the news to them as a credible source who was not happy to deliver the Leamington’s Luca Coppola was back in fighting form last weekend in Brantford, Ont. The message. long-awaited rematch of Toronto’s Shaun Dean versus Coppola was the fight of the night and “Bob’s very disappointed, and so is the fellow who had to tell us,” she explained while an absolute war of two of the best featherweights — 124 pounds — in the province. Ontario’s requesting the committee member’s anonymity. silver medalist Dean came to win — described as “a warrior who is tough as nails” — but Coppola’s skill and body shots made the difference. Luca’s coach Doug Patterson has him boxing As of the afternoon of Tuesday, May 16, Bob and Shirley had no other information on the in more of a professional style, which is proving to be making a difference in the amateurs. sudden change of plans, aside from being told that the Memorial Cup committee gathered Coppola trains at Seng’s Martial Arts and Fitness in Kingsville, and is a member of Fighting for an ‘emergency meeting’ that took place only hours before the phone call they received Island Boxing Club of Amherstburg. He will be boxing in the Bronze Gloves Tournament in that night. When the couple asked if an answer would be provided to them at a later date, Toronto at the end of May. Here, Coppola is congratulated by Patterson after winning the fight. they were told ‘yes’, but don’t expect to be offered any information until after the tournaCoppola is sponsored by Anna’s Flowers, Causarano Fishery, Presteve Foods and Amco. ment had ended.

The local couple was not told why an administration change had been made or who was placed in charge of the May 18 parade and presentation arrangements for the championship game on Sunday, May 28 at Windsor’s WFCU Centre. The only part of the Memorial Cup tournament that will proceed as scheduled for Bob and Shirley is an afternoon luncheon with the Windsor Spitfires, also on May 18.

The couple was also denied information regarding who was replacing Kelly to accompany the Cup during the parade and present it to the winning team. The Memorial Cup tournament was planned with a military theme and was originally created in honour of Canada’s armed forces.

Some explaining to do

There are dozens — perhaps hundreds — of old proverbs out there that are truly valuable words to live by… or at least keep in Jessop’s mind for one of those moments where they apply.

Journal A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Two wrongs don’t make a right. When in Rome, do as the Romans. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. The early bird catches the worm. The list goes on and on.

Some proverbs, depending on the scenario I suppose, are actually better left ignored. One that I’ll never understand is “never look a gift horse in the mouth.” Basically, it means don’t question good fortune, just accept it and consider yourself lucky. I’ve heard two different explanations to the origin of that particular piece of advice. One explains that it was (maybe it still is) common practice to determine a horse’s health by looking in its mouth. If this is the version that can actually be traced back to the coining of the phrase, then forget everything I just wrote. It makes perfect sense to tell someone not to worry about the health of a free horse, because, well, it was free. Then again, a “free” horse could end up being more costly than the price of a healthy horse, depending on veterinary bills, medications, rehabilitation, etcetera. Ask a gear ahead about the costs involved in rebuilding a “free” engine that needs every nut and bolt replaced versus paying a fair price for one that’s recently been rebuilt.

The other explanation behind that proverb stems from the tale of the Trojan Horse. In it, the Greeks leave a massive wooden horse outside the protective walls to the city of Troy after spending fruitless years trying to penetrate the barrier that denied them access to their enemies.

The Greeks build the massive “peace offering” and sail away. The Trojans bring the enormous token inside, unaware that Greek soldiers are hidden inside. At night, those soldiers sneak out of the horse, open the gates to allow their fellow Greeks (who sailed back under the cover of nightfall) inside and then proceed to destroy the city. Perhaps it would have been a good idea for the Trojans to have a peek inside their new treasure before calling it a night. Pulling something that large into their city, they should have known whether or not it was hollow. If this tale is what inspired the proverb, perhaps it should read “ALWAYS look a gift horse in the mouth.”

Regardless, there is one age-old fragment of advice that is even worse — MUCH worse.

“Shoot first, ask questions later.” It seems to represent the very essence of careless, unjustified foolishness. The far more level-headed line of thinking reads “guilty until proven innocent” — four crucial words that serve as the foundation of every legal system employed by democratic nations around the world.

Sometimes, however, questions do not garner answers… or at least none that seem the least bit legitimate. About a week after local military veteran Bob Kelly was told that plans were still on for him to present this year’s Memorial Cup (the annual CHL championship tournament) to the winning team, that honour was suddenly revoked. Mr. Kelly and his wife, quite naturally, asked why. “Administrative changes” was essentially the extent of the explanation they were given.

Like Bob Kelly and Shirley Affleck, I’m not exactly sure why changes in administration automatically translate to taking away an honour that a decorated veteran of the Canadian armed forces most certainly deserves… especially when it pertains to a tradition based on honouring our veterans in the first place.

Perhaps there is a logical explanation. Perhaps this new administrative body that is organizing this year’s Memorial Cup in Windsor has suddenly caught wind of another individual who’d love nothing more than to parade through the city with the trophy and present it to the winning team. Perhaps, for one reason or another, this person might never get another chance to fulfill such an honour. If this were the case, I’d understand — although Bob Kelly would/should still be entitled to an explanation.

I certainly hope that there isn’t some Fat Cat corporate CEO behind the whole thing who, with a penchant for being the centre of attention, simply had to appease his own massive ego at the expense of a man who spent the prime of his youth serving his country. That would make me sick to my stomach. That, in this 150th anniversary of Confederation and 100th anniversary of our military’s capture of Vimy Ridge, would be an embarrassment to Canada.

So no, I’m not going to shoot first and ask questions later. I’m not going to automatically assume the worst and then rave about it like a lunatic (apparently, that’s why we have Facebook and Twitter). I do, however, hope that the answer — whatever it is and whenever it finally comes — is a reasonable one. The CHL has dealt with a few tough and sensitive issues in the past (like most high-profile, organized sports organizations have). It doesn’t need a reputation for pushing modest, respectable people aside in favour of some overprivileged stiff engaged in the shameless, opportunistic pursuit of more publicity.

If there’s an answer that makes perfect sense, I welcome it with open arms.

GOLF CLUB No, I can’t think of one right now, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there. I saw a promotional video a few weeks ago of the All Blacks (New Zealand’s national rugby team) seemingly pushJUNIORS ing, grabbing and tackling Summer Sessions unsuspecting citizens in the streets of Tokyo for Saturdays - 4 weeks - $60/child no good reason. Those same scenes are played a Summer Sessions second time from differ$ Tuesdays Drop-in Clinics - 10/session ent perspectives, showing 10 am for 5-9 years old viewers that the targeted “victims” were simply be11 am for ages 10+ ing saved from harm’s way Different area of focus each week (i.e. large falling or out-ofcontrol objects that would LADIES have otherwise crushed or Thursday Morning Clinics 10:30 am -12 pm injured the unwary indi$ viduals). Maybe this MeStarting May 25 - 15 drop in fee morial Cup thing will turn out to be something similar.

The Leamington Lakers Bantam Majors were handed their first loss of the season May 15 in Windsor. The Lakers lost 5-4 to the Windsor Stars despite outhitting the Stars 5-3. Eric Dominguez, Brandon Friesen and Tyler Wiebe each drove in a run.

Eric Wright started for the Lakers, giving them 3 strong innings after a shaky first inning where the Lakers allowed 3 runs (2 earned). Andrew Verhaeghe threw two innings, allowing 2 runs (1 earned). Tyler Wiebe threw a scoreless 6th inning in hopes the Lakers could tie or take the lead in the seventh. Lefaber drew a 2 out walk in the seventh but the Lakers could not bring him home to extend the game.

Eric Tavares and Zach Penner both threw strong innings against the Lakers for the win.

Both players are former Lakers that are getting some valuable experience with the Windsor Stars.

Cougars capture soccer title

By Bryan Jessop The Ste. Cecile senior boys soccer team entered their local soccer championship match undefeated, but Cardinal Carter’s squad entered it undaunted.

The Cougars captured the WECSSAA 1A championship with a 2-0 victory against their Windsor-based hosts Wednesday, May 17, their first local title since defeating the L’Essor Aigles by the same score in 2012 to earn a 2A banner. Ste. Cecile finished the regular season with a perfect 6-0-0 record in the Tier III division with 34 goals for and 12 against. The Cougars were 2-2-1with five goals for and six against in the regular season’s Tier I. Their regular seasonending May 4 match against Villanova was cancelled and not rescheduled.

“Playing in Tier 1 against bigger schools gave us the experience we needed,” said Cougars’ rookie goalkeeper Mark Jraiche, who earned the shutout in the WECSSAA final. “We all knew what we had to, so we played hard and got the win. We’re all looking forward to SWOSSAA now.

It should go the same as this game. OFSAA has been our goal since December.”

By playing in Tier I, the Cougars earned triple points toward the 1A playoff rankings while 1A teams who played in Tier II received double points and 1A squads in Tier III received the standard three points per win and one point per draw. Cardinal Carter’s 28 points were 10 better than second-place Ste Cecile with 18. Westview Freedom Academy led the Cougars 1-0 in the semifinal at the halftime break, but the hosts replied with a a couple markers in the second for the 2-1 win. Meanwhile, Ste. Cecile punched its ticket into the championship tilt with a 1-0 victory over Lajeunesse in the other semifinal. The final was hosted by Ste. Cecile despite its lower playoff ranking, as the Cousineau Road school had previously been selected to host 1A, 2A and 3A championship matches regardless of which schools advanced.

In the WECSSAA 1A title match, the Cougars wasted little time driving home the game-winning goal. Roughly

Players with the Cardinal Carter senior boys soccer team gather for team photos after defeating the hosting Ste. Cecile team in the 1A WECSSAA final in Windsor Wednesday, May 17. Rickelmy Lima and Nico Gualtieri scored for Cardinal Carter in a 2-0 decision, earning the Cougars their first boys soccer WECSSAA championship since 2012.

two minutes into the game, Thomas Saba launched a corner kick into the goal box, from where Rickelmy Lima headed the ball into the mesh for an early 1-0 lead. Cardinal Carter dominated most of the game despite working against a heavy wind for most of the second half. In the final few minutes of the match, Nico Gualtieri blasted a kick from just outside the penalty area that found the right side of the Ste. Cecile goal.

The hosting team’s goalkeeper ventured out of his net to join his forwards shortly after the Cougars took the 2-0 advantage, but was thwarted by Jraiche when trying to head a corner kick into the mesh as Lima had done early in the first.

“I’m really proud of how we played today,” said Cardinal Carter head coach Chris Mazar after the WECSSAA victory. “We had possession for most of the game. We just had trouble finishing what we started.”

Mazar admitted that his team wasn’t sure what to expect going into the final against an undefeated team that was far more familiar with the conditions of its pitch’s artificial turf.

The Cougars also lacked experience compared to recent seasons, with seven high school soccer rookies on its roster.

“It’s been about 10 years since we’ve played them,” Mazar said of Ste. Cecile. “We were confident, but we didn’t take them for granted. We played hard and it showed.”

The Cougars will take on the LKSSAA champions in a road game in the SWOSSAA final Wednesday, May 24 at 3:30 p.m. On May 18, the Lambton-Kent (Dresden) Cardinals breezed by the Tilbury Titans in a 7-1 decision for the chance to host Cardinal Carter. The Dresden-based team is currently undefeated at 5-0-0 with 22 goals for and two goals against.

By Bob McLean At the Talbot Trail Golf Course on May 16, Mother Nature decided to play tricks with the weather. At 8 a.m. it was raining and the threat of thunderstorms loomed over the clubhouse. However, when the starting tee time of 9 a.m. came around, the storm clouds had moved on. Only 45 league players decided to test their skills, as many had stayed home because of the poor weather conditions.

The course was in excellent condition despite all the poor weather we’ve endured. The greens were slick to putt on, as I found out very early in my game.

No one was able to break the 40 barrier, but there were two outstanding 41s fired by Mike Wright and Dave Alexander. Bill Ward and Jim Pearson achieved terrific 42s to earn second place. Superb 43s were produced by Dave Omstead, Rick Thompson and Bob McLean. Jamie Arquette, Paul Brown, and Bummy merited very commendable 44s.

Four golfers who came in with fine 46s were Rick Epplett, Bob Scott, Patch and Bob Freure.

The long putt winner was Bummy, whose approximate 20-footer nipped out Mike Getty’s amazing putt by a few inches. Dave Dent earned the closest to the pin victory by hitting his white sphere to within 12 feet of the pin.

Write-ups by age groupings will start in June. I will be arranging for a golfing excursion for early June. The league looks forward to more past and new players joining in the near future.

I’m not sure if the league players saw our golfing buddy from Newfoundland on Tuesday. However, you could easily spot him on the course as he wore a bright yellow fisherman’s hat. This gentleman found the going rather tough as he fired a generous 60 on the challenging TT layout. The word is that he enjoyed himself so much that he’ll be back wearing a less conspicuous hat.

RENOVATIONS - HOME IMPROVEMENTS

On April 24, Leamington Municipal Council adopted By-law Number 24-17 in order to rezone the property on the east side of Sherk Street, north of Coronation Avenue, known municipally as 302 Sherk Street.

The subject lands, previously occupied by St Joseph’s Church, are planned to be used as a not-for-profit Youth Engagement Centre consisting of social services for youth (i.e. counselling, education, life skills training, etc.) as well as transitional and long-term residential accommodations for youth who do not have a safe place to call home.

The non-residential services will operate out of the former church building; however, a new building will be constructed east of and behind the former church to accommodate the residential uses. Bylaw 24-17 adds a Youth Engagement Centre and uses accessory thereto as additional permitted uses for the subject property, and specifies that a minimum of 28 on-site parking spaces are required for this use.

This new use will be added to the Institutional I-8 zoning.

Debbie Dunmore and Brian Humphreys posted the best numbers at Erie Shores opening kick-off.

Erie Shores opening kick-off Under cool and gusty weather conditions, only a record low number of 8 golfers managed to shoot scores in the 70s at the annual Erie Shores Opening Kick-Off Golf Tournament this year. Defending champion Brian Humphreys posted the best number, firing a one over par round of 72 to win the event now for the third straight year in a row. This is also Humphrey’s seventh Kick-Off title in the past 11 years.

Finishing in second place, one stroke back at two over par 73, was Mike Ferreira.

Ken Steingart had the third best round of the day shooting a four over par 75, while former winner Bill Ruiter was alone in fourth spot with a five over par 76. The only other golfers managing to break 80 were Richard Lowes and Tim Tiessen at 78 and Tim Towle and Kyle Humphreys at 79.

In the men’s handicap division, Bill Gherasim won top low net honours with a one over par net 72, while Gord Anderson was next with a net 73. Finishing tied for third with net 74s were Tim Towle, Ken Cobby, Claudio Sabelli and Wayne Quinn.

On the ladies side, Debbie Dunmore finished first with a 13 over par score of 85, with Carol Quinn finishing next with a 93, followed by Sandra Marinacci at 94 and Lisa Sawatzky at 95.

In the low net category, Muriel Davey and Carol Quinn tied for low with their net score rounds of 78, while Anne Badz and Betty Bouliane were next at 80.

In the Four-Ball Net Best-Ball category, the team of Kevin Sawatzky, Abe Bergen, Rick Bergen and Will Peters were the overall winners shooting a 10 under par net 59 to finish just one shot ahead of the team of Kevin George, Lucas George, Darryl DiMilo and Mark Ferreira who finished second with a 9 under par net 62. Tying for third low spot with 8 under par net rounds of 63 were the teams of Vic Tiessen, John Penner, Wray Pollock, Vic Penner and Bill Conn, Ken Segedin, Wayne Quinn, Garth Dennerley.

This year’s Kick-Off, as well as many major club events, are sponsored by the Friends of Erie Shores, a generous and dedicated group of members who help make it all possible.

The next major club event coming up is the Annual Senior Men’s Invitational on Wednesday, August 2 with a shotgun start at 11:00 a.m. This is open to all male golfers, members and non-members, who are 50 years of age or older.
