Clean up campaign endorsed by Council

By Bill Chaplin At the May 12th meeting of Leamington Council a Notice of Motion was introduced by Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright to proclaim a municipal Spring Clean Up Campaign during the month of June. The motion indicated that interested parties — local businesses, schools, organization and community groups who would be willing to collect litter and debris from Leamington parks, trails and other public places — should contact the Manager of Public Works who will assign areas and arrange for bag collection.

At the Monday, May 26 Council Meeting, a presentation about this was made

by Mr. Greg Rice. (He chairs the tidiness sub-committee of the larger Communities in Bloom committee.) He emphasized that this was “an opportunity to improve the community… at no incremental cost to the municipality.” He was able to list many positive results that would accrue to the people and municipality. He was delightfully positive about the community.

Mayor John Paterson pointed out that it is the policy of Leamington Council never to issue a proclamation, so a slight re-wording of the Notice of Motion was suggested. But DeputyMayor Charlie Wright was opposed to any change to the wording of his motion and rejected any idea of a ‘friendly’ amendment. It took extensive discussion to convince him, but eventually the proclamation dilemma was avoided by ‘initiating’ the clean-up. This was endorsed unanimously.

Marina to host walleye derby

By Bryan Jessop Thanks to helping hands from some westerly neighbours, the Leamington Municipal Marina will be hosting its first-ever walleye derby.

The First Annual Leamington Walleye Derby will take place Saturday, July 19 with two separate boat launches at 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. The competition will be organized and run by the Kingsville Lions Club, who will provide the volunteers necessary to organize derby details from pre-launch inspections to entry measurements.

“I’ve always wanted to do one of these, but we’ve never had the manpower,” said Leamington Marina manager Ronan Oliver. “It takes a lot of volunteers to run a derby like this.”

Oliver hopes to see a minimum of 300 entries for the event, which would allow prizes to reach their maximum dollar amounts. If at least 300 derby tickets are purchased, the longest walleye caught will earn the top prize of $1,500 while second prize will net $750, third will be worth $300, fourth $200 and fifth through 10th $100 each. If more than 300 tickets are bought, excess proceeds will go toward the Kingsville Lions Club.

Tickets — selling at $20 each — are available at the Leamington Marina, the Shell gas station on Seacliff Drive, Bowman Feeds Ltd. in Wheatley and Happy Days Boat Centre in Windsor. A total of 500 tickets have been printed.

All individuals on each boat participating in the derby must purchase a ticket and possess a valid fishing license. The derby is open to men and women ages 18 and over. All entries must depart from Leamington Marina,

Tickets to participate in the event are available at the Leamington Marina, the Shell gas station at 40 Seacliff Dr. West, Bowman Feeds Ltd. in Wheatley and Happy Days Boat Centre on Cabana Road in Windsor.

where each boat is subject to a $13 launch fee.

“It’s going to be a crazy day at the ramp,” said Oliver. “We highly recommend docking overnight.”

The overnight docking fee at Leamington Marina is $1.75 per foot.

Oliver expects entries for the derby to hail from across the Windsor to London corridor as well as from Michigan and Ohio.

Participants in the 6 a.m. flight must return for measuring at 2:30 p.m. while those leaving for the 7 a.m. flight are expected to

return at 3:30 p.m. Tickets must be stamped by a derby official before fish are measured. Prizes will be awarded based solely on length — the weight and number of walleye caught will not be considered.

Only walleye are eligible to be measured. Contrary to common belief, walleye and pickerel are not the same fish. Pickerel, bearing a resemblance to pike, have only one dorsal fin. Walleye have two dorsal fins, the forward of the two having a ‘spiny’ design.

local sponsors will be awarded after measurements are completed.

Once door prizes have been distributed, cash prizes for the 10 longest fish will be awarded. A D.J. will provide music at the Marina pavilion while the Leamington Kinsmen Club will run a cash bar and sell barbecued meal items.

Parking will be available at the marina and if necessary, at Bailey Bus Lines on Seacliff Drive.

The derby is scheduled as a rain or shine event.

Deal finalized with Heinz, Highbury Canco

The H.J. Heinz Co. has completed the sale of its Leamington plant. A statement released on Wednesday, May 21 indicated that it completed the sale of its 105-year-old tomato processing plant to Highbury Canco, which will begin operating the plant on June 27.

Highbury Canco will take over “all aspects of the operation,” the spokesperson stated.

“Highbury Canco will manufacture products including Heinz tomato juice, Heinz beans, and Heinz canned pastas in the years to come,” – Michael Mullen, the company’s vice president of corporate and government affairs.

“Now that the deal has been concluded, the Highbury Canco Corporation is fully focused on establishing a strong production base in Leamington for Heinz and further strengthening our own brand.” – Pradeep Sood, director of Highbury.

In February, H.J. Heinz Co. signed a letter of intent to sell the plant to Highbury Canco as a co-packer for Heinz. Approximately 10 farmers – from Leamington, Chatham-Kent and Harrow – have contracts to grow tomatoes for Highbury Canco.

Heinz previously had 43 contracts with local growers.

SPH raising funds for mobility bus

By Bryan Jessop The Sun Parlor Home mobility bus isn’t as mobile as it used to be.

The facility’s auxiliary organization recently began fundraising efforts to purchase a new mobility bus for SPH residents, who rely on the vehicle to help them travel to events and shopping excursions throughout the county. While the current bus is equipped with all the necessary amenities for residents who require the use of walkers or wheelchairs, it has become significantly less reliable since being acquired 16 years ago.

“The bus they’ve got now is starting to fall apart,” said Sun Parlor Homes Auxiliary president Barb Watts.

“We can’t let residents wait around for hours to get back because we can’t get it started again.”

Recently, SPH residents who travelled to Empire Lanes were forced to wait there for two hours after their bowling excursion ended because the bus’s engine would not start. Additionally, screws for the electric wheelchair lift at the back of the bus have been discovered rolling around on the bus and ramp floor.

“It’s just not reliable anymore,” Watts noted.

During the autumn of 2012, the SPH Auxiliary made a donation of $10,000 earmarked for a new mobility bus. It was recommended that they open a new bank account for the money, which sparked the idea for fundraisers to accumulate the amount needed for a new bus. Since then, an additional $5,000 has been raised, but as Watts explained, there is a long way to go before they reach their $70,000 target.

The current Sun Parlor Home’s mobility bus, acquired in 1998, has been showing telltale signs of wear and tear. The vehicle is often difficult to start and has left residents stranded during out-of-town excursions.

ting started with it,” said Watts of community-wide fundraising efforts. “We’re pretty green at this, but we have to get out there and do it now.”

The auxiliary plans to approach municipal council, the families of residents, the community’s greenhouse industry and other local businesses for support in its mobility bus fundraising campaign. All contributors who donate $20 or more are

eligible to receive a tax receipt.

To mark the campaign’s progress, a large “thermometer” display has been set up at Sun Parlor Home in plain view for staff, residents and visitors. On May 8, SPH hosted a bake sale in support of the fundraiser and will do the same in November of this year.

“They’ve been very supportive of the auxiliary,” Watts said of Sun Parlour

Not just another bridge over a creek A ‘bridge over troubled water’ is not what I think of when I remember about the one that crossed the creek down on our flats. Actually, I always said it crossed the ‘crick’, but unless you grew up in Wheatley you might not know what language I’m speaking.

This bridge that my dad had built for us enabled anyone from that end of town to take a shortcut up to Richard Street to get to school or downtown Wheatley. Once in a blue moon, or when the creek peaked in early spring, we would find our bridge downstream after being lifted by the rising waters and floated away.

One such time, I recall the water actually reaching the base of our hill and that of my grandparents’ across the way.

My dad’s cousin Tim, dressed in his chest-high waders, floated a small boat across to bridge the gap to school for us.

My excitement turned to fear as we crossed over the deepest area where the water fiercely wanted to drag us with it. It dawned on me at that time, that the melted waters from the Ice Age probably raged at these heights, cutting the gorge that was now my playground: the flats.

For many obvious reasons, it was a sad day when the bridge was taken down. This past weekend I realized what that bridge represented for me and my siblings, friends and neighbours.

Saturday morning my good friend Julie came to help me stain our deck. Together we accomplished this task quickly as the time was spent immersed in good conversation and listening to great music. It was priceless. Later that day the garden dividing our property with the neighbour’s became a different kind of bridge when my neighbour friend and I met midway while pulling weeds. Once again, a tedious chore was transformed into a wonderful visit.

Everyone in the ‘hood’ came out of hibernation and was working tirelessly to groom each of their properties. Doors were painted, grass was cut, gardens were mulched, trees trimmed and flowers planted. For sure, there was more than just the buzz of the bumblebees around the blooming red buds.

At one point a couple of us ran toward the sound of screams coming from a fellow neighbour. A good-sized fox snake caught her by surprise as it slithered down a hole in her garden. Like a good fish tale, the snake’s size and ugliness grew throughout the day, but these sightings are Mother Nature’s reminders of the balance of nature.

As we reach out to each other with helping hands, I am reminded of the shortcut that these bridges give us, allowing us the time to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labour.

My parents welcomed everyone and anyone to cut through their property on their way to school or work. Every spring my dad would reseed the hillside knowing full well that the bikes zipping down to cross over the bridge would prohibit its growth. He never became bitter over this and in actual fact it gave him a front row seat to be the neighbourhood greeter for all those passing through.

The bridge led me to school, and then as I grew SHANNON MATHESON older was my crossing to bigger and better things, like the ‘five and dime’ or the arena for ice or roller skating. My oldest brothLifestyles... er used it as a border and BROUGHT TO YOU BY: if he didn’t approve of a boy that was crossing to see me, he wouldn’t let him set foot on our turf. He must have liked some because many made it to the other side.

When our old bridge floated away for the last time and broke to pieces in the current, we found other ways to cross.

We hung upside down and shimmied across the gas pipe, balanced across a fallen tree or went out of our way to cross further down the creek on my Uncle Gord’s bridge that is still standing today.

In later years, our new bridge was built with an arch that allowed for higher waters to flow under and it was set on cement footings to ensure its stability. It continued to connect us to our grandparents and then later my sister and her family. Mark and I had our wedding photos taken on it 26 years ago.

Unfortunately, time brings change and the symbolic bridge mentality of my parents did not fit into new developments and the bridge was removed. Thankfully, for most of us, with or without this crossing we continue to reach out to each other and enjoy the passport that neighbourly kindness continues to gift us with.

The old bridge now sits over the tiny stream in front of the house next door. I am confident that for many it evokes innumerable memories. It may have been just a method of getting you to where you needed to go or an escape route if you were running away from home ‘again’! Either way it is symbolic of the bridges we need to keep building and creating. We want our next generation of children to continue to grow up in neighbourhoods filled with kindness, respect and care.

Community response has been overwhelming

Words of yesteryear I heard a news report a couple of weeks ago where a guy in Windsor had been charged with prowling.

It immediately took me back to my childhood, when prowlers and peeping toms were commonplace.

If I had a nickel for every time my mother MARK thought she saw a “prowler” outside, I’d be a rich RIBBLE man today. Seemed at least once or twice a week, mom would have my dad heading outside looking for the prowler. I would cowardly peek out through the curtains to watch my dad with a flashlight Rib’s combing the yard.

That’s a word that you just don’t hear anymore.

Ramblings I didn’t even know such a charge existed, but that’s what they said on the radio... prowling. So, it made me reflect on those words and phrases that are long gone from our vocabulary as technology and progress have taken over.

I thought about our phone line. Before I came along, my sister and brothers experienced the phone number with letters in front of it. I believe there were two letters and they represented a certain area of town. I think ours started with Fairlane, which was abbreviated to FA. It was before my time, but I do remember we were on a party line with the neighbour, Mrs. Happy. Our ring was ‘one-long, two-short’ and you couldn’t call out if your neighbour was already on the phone. I believe party line is something you just don’t hear anymore, at least not in that context.

A receiver used to be the part of the telephone that you held to your ear. Now, a receiver usually refers to a satellite or cable box.

We used to get regular visits from the Avon lady and the Fuller Brush man, each of whom did a very good business hocking their wares in and around Leamington. If you needed anything cosmetics-related, you waited until the Avon lady came calling. The household stuff, like cleaners and solvents, came from the Fuller Brush guy. It was always interesting when they came to the house. And who can forget Tupperware parties?

Penny candy was irresistible to us kids. Sadly, it no longer exists. Black balls, Pixy Stix, Wax Lips and those wax sticks with sweet liquid in them were my favourites... until Mojos came along. I was a fan of the banana Mojos, while most of my friends liked the strawberry ones.

My favourite drink? Chocolate Soldier. It wasn’t around long but it was like drinking chocolate milk from a pop bottle.

Speaking of pop bottles, I’ve noticed some of those small coke bottles making a comeback in the grocery stores, except back then they were a nickel apiece. Now you can buy a six-pack for $3.99.

The pop machines of the day were chest-style coolers with racks in them that didn’t allow you to pull up on the bottle until you put your dime in.

Cigarette machines were everywhere too. There’s something you don’t see anymore.

I’m not a smoker, but remember a whole whack of cigarette brands back in the day, from Export to Players to Rothmans and even one called Kools. Nowadays, all of the smokes look the same, are packaged the same, and certainly not available in vending machines anymore.

Mercurochrome was the preferred ‘ointment’ for us kids if we got a cut. We’d always choose that over iodine if we had the choice. Peroxide was a new-fangled cure-all that came along after all of that, but back in the day Mercurochrome was the answer for everything.

Of course, Cod Liver Oil was equally as effective for internal ailments, but not very popular amongst us kids.

Vicks Vapo-Rub is still available today and many still swear by it.

In music, we had LPs, 45s and even remnants of 78s when we spun our vinyl. Our record players were treated like gold, dusting them and making sure no scratches got on our beloved albums. These are words we don’t hear much of anymore. I guess they still produce albums, but they’re really not albums now are they?

My parents somehow inherited a reel-to-reel tape recorder, complete with microphone, when I was a kid. I played with that thing like crazy. Half the time it didn’t work, but it was fun playing around with it anyway.

When turning to sports, we had mouthguards in hockey, something you’d never see today, although my former colleague Mike Thibodeau still wore an old Cooper mouthguard from the sixties, well into the nineties.

I remember insect collections too. Every couple of years in elementary school, we had to either do a weed collection or an insect collection, where you’d catch insects and put a pin through them and preserve them in a display. Or you could choose the plants and dry each of of them in ‘cellophane’ for your project. Do the kids even do that anymore?

Oh well, as I get older I get these moments, thinking of all of these things from childhood. Funny how things disappear, only to be conjured up when you start reminiscing.

But that’s what memories are for, right?

Letter to the Editor: It is with profound gratitude that I am writing this letter. Once again the communities of Leamington, Wheatley and Kingsville have stunned us with their outpouring of love, goodwill and generosity for my family at a most difficult time in our lives. As you may recall (article by Sheila McBrayne, March 26th), my husband Ian Tate was diagnosed with a brain tumour in January of this year when our daughter was just 6 weeks old. The community response has been so overwhelming – people who we have never even met have stepped forward and taken up our cause.

Bill and Karen Robertson and the executive committee of the Wheatley Legion approached my sister and brother-in-law with a generous offer to host a spaghetti dinner fundraiser complete with entertainment and raffles. The fundraiser took place on April 26th and had a fantastic turnout. Thank you to everyone – friends, family, the Legion volunteers and very generous community members who sold tickets, provided entertainment and of course, showed up for dinner! Special thank you to Rick Latam of IKL Designs

for creating the event posters, Zippy Print for printing them, Faubert Meats and Superstore for donating the food, and all those who donated raffle prizes: Charles Diab at The Lesson Lounge, Kym Brundritt of Paisley Dreamer Gallery, Magie’s Flowers, Reis Appliances, Larry MacDonald, Ruth Owens and Ursula Tiessen.

Ian and I were unable to make it from Oshawa for the evening, but we heard from several people that the food was amazing and the evening was a lot of fun.

On May 4th, friends and family came together for a benefit concert at the Leamington United Church.

The idea was conceived by Heather and Justin Latam.

Ian plays the bass guitar with Justin on Justin’s latest album ‘Faith, Love, Desire’, so Heather and Justin invited all of the musicians who have played with Ian in the past to come out and play for the concert. There were a couple of surprise guests, too! A big thank you to the musicians who donated their time and talent: Andrew Taves and John Moran, Dale Butler and Gord Harwood, Mayor John Paterson, Timeless Tunes, and Justin Latam with Rick Latam and Bennie Pallotto.

Ian was even feeling well

enough to play, so he sat in with both Justin and the gang and Timeless Tunes!

We would like to thank Heather and Justin for organizing such a fun event, Rev. Paul Rodey for the use of the church, to everyone who sold tickets, those who provided door prizes including Rachelle Gossman of Color Plus, Nicole Barron and Dale Butler, and for everyone who came to enjoy an afternoon of music and laughter.

Finally, we would like to thank BrieAnna Bento of Chez Susie Hair Concepts who is generously donating all of the proceeds from every haircut or wash and style that she does on Fridays in the month of May. Ian and I have never met BrieAnna, which makes her kindness so very moving and we are grateful for her thoughtfulness.

These fundraising events, the people who have come out to show their support, and the money that has been raised have given Ian and I so much encouragement, hope and help at a time when we thought we were alone. We know better now.

Thank you from our family to yours.

Darlene Pursel and Ian Tate

Did you miss hearing two incredible singers tell the story of their relationship in song?

Well you are in luck!

“The Last Five Years” is playing again this weekend. Stephanie Allen Santos and Greg Wiklanski are perfect in their portrayals of two New Yorkers singing about their relationship. The female lead sings about the relationship from its end to its beginning; while the male lead sings about the relationship from its beginning to its end.

It’s clever and touching at the same time.

Council Report for May 26 Tenders in for new vehicles

Leamington triathlon weekend

Four municipal departments need new vehicles, and the results of the tendering process are in.

Leamington Chrysler had the low tender for two pickup trucks needed by drainage and public works, Ken Knapp Ford was low tender for a fire service pickup, and Reaume Chevrolet was low tender for a van required by the water department.

It’s back! The weekend of June 14-15 will see athletes converging in Leamington for the annual cluster of triathlon and duathlon competitions.

According to race commuBILL CHAPLIN nity liaison Dave Campbell, Saturday morning the Kids of Steel triathlon for Municipal children ages 3 to 5, the Correspondent Adult Try-a-Tri beginners triathlon, and the Adult Doa-Du beginners duathlon will be run at the Kinsmen Sports Complex. Then, on Sunday, June 15 the Tomatoman Sprint Triathlon and Tomatoman Sprint Duathlon will be held at the Municipal Marina.

These are well-known, prestigious competitions in the world of triathlons and duathlons, which attract an average of over 500 competitors from Ontario and Michigan. (In fact, last year this was a world qualifier.) The other is that every year the race organizers donate thousands of dollars from the competitions to the community, making the Cycling Studio in the Recreation Complex possible.

Mr. Campbell brought the triathlon weekend before Council Monday night because Municipal council has the prerogative to grant permission, and the OPP require a Council resolution to close streets for the race.

It was also an opportunity for Councillor Rick Atkin to raise the question of the deteriorated condition of Seacliff Drive going past the pollution control plant to the Bevel Line. Since it is a county road, the repairs they plan may be too late for the race. The repairs have been approved at County Council.

Councillor Hilda MacDonald asked for assurance that people living off Erie Street South would be able to get out of their neighbourhood on Sunday, and Councillor John Jacobs asked that the Marina be accessible. Both got the assurances they wanted.

Gas tax agreement approved Leamington Municipal Council approved a new Federal Gas Tax agreement Monday night, May 26.

The existing agreement expired March 31st and the new agreement, that is actually with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, will be effective as of April 1st. Under the new agreement, estimated annual funding will start at about $822,000 in 2014 and rise to $904,000 in 2018.

Work on bridge can begin Reconstruction of the bridge over Big Creek on Mersea Road 11 can begin, now that Leamington Council had agreed to award the contract to SLR Contracting Group Inc. of Windsor. The reconstruction is possible because of a 90% grant from the Ministry of Rural Affairs (up to $450,000).

SLR Group was the lowest of four bidders for the project. It is anticipated that the entire project will come in at under the $500,000 estimate of its total cost that was made last year.

In presenting the report to Council on May 26, Allan Botham, Manager of Engineering Services, indicated that the work would be done mid-summer and would involve a complete road closure during construction. That prompted Councillor John Jacobs to express concern about the job being finished in a timely manner because of delays experienced when SLR worked on Erie Street South. Mr. Botham expressed no concern since SLR completed a bridge project before within the community and did good work and were on time.

The cold winter and its effect on trees One of the few good things about this past brutal winter is that it will better control overwintering insects that cause damage to trees and shrubs, especially boring insects such as gypsy moth larvae. Also, the insulating effect snow has on soil temperature helps protect root sysBILL tems.

PLUMB The deeper the frost goes in the ground, the more damage will appear to surface and feeder roots. The increase in soil moisture during spring thaw will also In the back yard... help add needed moisture at a greater depth to help plants to develop.

BROUGHT Animal damage to the base of trees and shrubs will Peanut Centre TO YOU BY: N U R S E R Y be more noticeable due to the deep snow providing an ideal shelter for rabbits, mice and other predators.

Burning bushes, Japanese maples, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and elms will show more bark damage.

Many trees and shrubs planted close to driveways and cement walkways will also show more root damage from exposure to the low temperatures. Dead buds and dried branches will appear this spring on the entire plant. Frost cracks and cankers will appear on the trunk and branches. These cracks will start in late winter or early spring. They are the result of warm sunny days to cold nights, causing the wood to expand and contract too quickly. Wrapping the lower trunk in late fall will help prevent this damage.

Second to the drying, cold winter wind is ice. Combine these two forces together and a lot of damage will happen quickly. Soft wood trees such as silver maples and willows will fall apart quicker than hard wood trees that will simply bend with the weight and return to normal if left alone. If you lose more than 50% of the trees structure, removal is often the best solution. Otherwise, if the tree remains structurally sound, prune the damaged areas and allow the damaged areas to re-grow and fill in. Broken or cracked branches are more likely to die later on in the season after the leaves develop.

More salt than usual was used this past winter. Salt will destroy the soil structure and cause a burning effect to lawns and plants as it reverses the flow of water from the soil to the plants. Salt damage is easily fixed by flushing affected areas with large amounts of water by leaching the area. In heavily damaged areas it may be necessary to replace some of the soil.

For best results with winter damage have your trees assessed by an trained arborist, which in most cases is more cost effective than replacing the tree or shrub. www.bptreemarketing.com

Drug charges laid Two Leamington residents have been arrested and are facing charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Criminal Code.

Early Tuesday evening, May 20, a woman was arrested outside a residence on Evans St. in Leamington by members of the Essex County OPP Street Crimes Unit and found in possession of a quantity of cocaine and crack cocaine. During a subsequent search of that residence, police seized a quantity of cocaine.

The two people who were arrested were taken into custody and appeared in court in Windsor on May 21.

Carly Edwards, 23, of Leamington, was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and one count of breach of probation.

John Bailey, 53, of Leamington, was charged with one count of trafficking a controlled substance, possession of property obtained by crime, and breach of undertaking.

The total value of the drugs seized was approximately $1,500.

Farms to amalgamate Council has approved scheduling a public meeting as part of the required rezoning process to allow a hobby farm on Kildeer Road to be rezoned A1 and joined to an abutting property on Mersea Road C. The resulting farm will be almost 11Ha. In addition, an excess home at the corner of Kildeer Road and Road C will be severed from the new farm and rezoned agricultural residential (A5).

The tentative date for the public meeting is Monday, June 16.

Spring Sprint this weekend

The first annual South Shore Spring Sprint is just around the corner.

The event will take place at the Leamington Municipal Marina Saturday, May 31 as the newest fundraiser for South Shore Christian School.

The friendly competition will feature a five-kilometre course for walkers and runners as well as a one-kilometre kids’ run for entries 12 years of age and under. The lengthier course consists of a double 2.5 km route starting at the Marina, crossing Robson Road and making its way to Seacliff Drive along the Greenway Trail — essentially the same path as used for the running segment of the annual Tomatoman Triathlon.

Those who took advantage of early bird registration — May 9 and earlier — paid $35 per adult, $5 per child 12 and under or $70 at the family rate, which includes the entry of two adults and up to three kids. These participants also received free t-shirts. Starting May 10, these fees increased to $40, $15 and $80, respectively. All entries in the kids’ one-kilometre run will also receive medals. So far, the youngest early bird participant is two years old.

Participants who didn’t sign up previously can also register on race day from 8:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (9 a.m. for the 1 km kids’ race) on site.

The five-kilometre race

will be timed by individual chips and include medals for the top two finishers of each age/gender division. All racers will be treated to snacks and beverages, courtesy of business sponsors such as the Real Canadian Super Store, Lakeside Bakery and Tim Hortons.

Business sponsors have the option to provide organizers with signs that will be posted throughout the Marina headquarters during the event.

South Shore Christian School, sharing a roof with the Cavalry Baptist Church on Bevel Line, first opened its doors in 2005 — the school’s first class of junior kindergarten pupils will graduate from Grade 8 in 2015. The school is supported financially by tuition fees and fundraising efforts that also include an annual February dinner and a Goods, Services and Talents Auction in October that is open to the public.

1938 Ford coupe 40 years in Saskatchewan barn Jim Smith of Wellandport writes: “Hello Bill, I really enjoy all your Old Car Detective articles. I have a 1938 Ford Deluxe business coupe. I bought it from a fellow in Ayr, Ontario, in 1997. He told me he bought it in western Canada, where it sat in a barn for 40 years.

“I think the barn was near Biggar, Saskatchewan, because of the piece of paper I found in the trunk advertising a Shirley Temple movie, ‘Susannah of the Mounties’ with Randolph Scott and Margaret Lockwood at the Onyx Theatre in that town. I also found a 1938 quarter and a 1942 dime in the car. My wife had the quarter made into a key fob.

“The car has now been transformed into a street rod, which took three-and-a-half years.

I retained the original look on the outside. It is powered by a 396 V8 with 700R4 transmission and a 9-inch Ford rear end with a Mustang II front end. The car also has a completely new frame.

“My wife and I have a lot of fun driving it to shows from Moncton, NB, to Louisville, Kentucky, and Michigan, and lots of other shows in Canada and the U.S. In going to these shows, we have met a lot of wonderful people and have made many friends. Just love this sport! Thanks again for the great articles.”

The Shirley Temple movie mentioned above came out in 1939, when Jim’s car was one year old. The ad for the movie at the Onyx Theatre in the Saskatchewan town of Biggar stated: “Showing today 3:30 to 9:30 Continuous.” Also included with the movie was a comedy and a newsreel. And after the last show, the theatre held a “BIG DANCE” with music supplied by the Biggar Orchestra. Jim’s letter arrived in my mailbox within a day or two of the news on TV announcing that Shirley Temple had passed away at age 85.

Jim Smith’s 1938 Ford coupe is a classic example of art deco styling with its curvaceous grille and sleek body lines. The windshield can be cranked open at the bottom for an early

1938 Ford street rod owned by Jim Smith of Wellandport.

form of air conditioning. When Jim’s car was new, it had mechanical brakes, with Henry Ford claiming that this design gave you “the safety of steel from pedal to wheel.” One year later, Ford switched to hydraulic brakes, which Jim has added to his ’38. His Ford when new had a flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches and 85 horsepower and a Windsor factory retail price of $845.

The Southpoint Sun - Section 2

Now serving as a Physician’s Assistant Special to the Southpoint Sun by Louise Wiens At age 12, when Bill Wilson had his appendix removed at Leamington District Memorial Hospital he never dreamt that some day he would be working at that hospital as a Physician’s Assistant.

In 2009 he was serving in the Canadian Forces working as a Liaison Officer at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, USA monitoring casualty evacuation of Canadian troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, when he learned through the Ontario Ministry of Health that 20 positions were opening up across Ontario for Physician Assistants in Emergency Departments.

After several interviews in Windsor, Wilson chose to work at LDMH. He provides a broad range of medical services that aid in improving patient access to quality care. Wilson takes the patient history, performs physical exams, and orders labs and x-rays under the direction of the supervising physician. He sutures wounds, puts on plaster slabs and assists in minor surgical procedures in the ER. He can also consult with specialists on behalf of the supervising physician.

The people he works with and the patients that he meets make his job very enjoyable. “I like to think that every walk of life at some point is going to come through the ED doors for care. I have learned a great deal about the human spirit,” he said. Most of Wilson’s education comes from the Canadian Forces Health Services School in Borden, ON. After obtaining his B.Sc. (which included two years of study in the PA program), he obtained a Master’s degree in PA Studies. “Coming from the military medical system where the age range is 18-45, understanding the concepts of geriatrics and pediatrics was a bit overwhelming. Not so much now,” he said.

He has seen lots of changes in management in the last five years. “As in any industry, staff come and go,” he said. Wilson recalls a 95-year-old male who visited the ED two years ago after having driven three and one-half hours in his new car to visit family in the area.

Bill soon found out that not only had this patient also served in the military, but that he had also served with his wife’s grandfather in Italy. “I had a chill and goose bumps and couldn’t wait to finish my shift so I could get home to tell my wife,” he said.

Wilson enjoys reading, listening to music, working out and working in his yard. He plays soccer and yearly addresses a Windsor Grade 10 history class about his experiences in the military. He also assists the University of Toronto with their PA program by reviewing (Continued on page 14)

Wilson serving LDMH (Continued from page 13) files for prospective students, facilitating lessons, and as an OSCE examiner. He has been involved with the Canadian Association of Physician Assistants for 14 years by participating on several committees.

As a Canadian Forces veteran, Wilson belongs to the Canadian War Veterans Association. Wilson grew up in Essex County and has always had a travel bug. The military gave him the chance to live in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Illinois. In l993 he was deployed to Somalia and he has also served in Rwanda, Bosnia, Hungary, Croatia, and Afghanistan, He has vacationed in Dubai, and has driven cross-country with his wife Lianne and their dogs from Edmonton to Halifax. He has worked onboard the HMCS Toronto with a crew of 240 sailors as part of a NATO fleet of five ships. Wilson and his wife have two dogs and four cats. “We have a great life,” he stated. He has two grown sons and is extremely proud of both of them. One is in the military and the other works in construction. Wilson’s pet peeve is drivers that doesn’t use signal lights. He still has the travel bug and would like to go back to the Mediterranean. In 10 years he “hopes to be healthy, physically fit, wiser, and still happy with a great sense of humor. Even more in love with my wife and maybe become a grandfather. When I started at LDMH being the first PA, I knew that I would have to bring a 100% effort to every shift and maintain continuity while getting better at my clinical skills and knowledge. I hope that it has paid off, and I don’t feel like the lone PA now that Sarah Sadler and Evangeline Lu are working here. Coming from the Canadian Forces where teamwork is key, I think that we have a great team in the ED as we continue to make it a better place to work. We have some special people and I am happy to call them my friends,” said Wilson.

Leamington Council has approved a physical activity initiative from the Windsor Essex County Health Unit at the May 26 meeting. The initiative targets grade 9 students living in Leamington.

Using a grant from Essex Power and financial assistance from the Health Unit, grade 9 students will be permitted to apply for free memberships to the Recreation Complex, good throughout the school year.

As a result, over 300 grade nine students will have the opportunity to use the Complex for healthy activity, and the membership account at the Complex will get a needed $2,500 boost from the grant.

Ruth Knight, a public health nurse, was present at the Council meeting in case Council wanted answers that Amanda Smith, Leamington’s Manager of Culture and Recreation, might not have handy. She indicated to Council that all of the public health nurses that visit the schools are excited about the opportunity to expand interest in a healthy lifestyle among the grade 9s.

Kingsville K of C supports park project

By Bryan Jessop The Town of Kingsville’s Mettawas Park Recreation Development Project received a boost from a successful ‘Knight’ this past winter.

The Kingsville Knights of Columbus Council 8233, using proceeds raised by its fourth annual Vegas Fun Night, made a donation of $2,300 to the Town of Kingsville’s latest waterfront park project. The K of C also gave $200 to the Kingsville Fire Department to help support an antique firetruck restoration project.

The $2,300 will support the ongoing development of Mettawas Park, a lakeside tract of land purchased by the town from Kings Landing restaurant.

The recent acquisition allows Kingsville to expand on pre-existing waterfront park land.

“It’s an important contribution,” explained Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos, who volunteered his time as a blackjack dealer during this year’s Vegas From left to right, Kingsville Knights of CoFun Night. “The Knights of Columbus continue to support our community, lumbus Council 8233 Grand Knight Curtis families and youth through projects and activities.

Last year’s game winners had 149 items to chose from for bidding while 142 items were made available in 2012.

“It’s a fun night where in the end, you pay $30,000 for a pizza,” said Kingsville Knights of Columbus Vegas Fun Night co-chair Ken Bosse, who also took on auctioneer duties and led the event’s organizational efforts along with Wilfred Kobelsky.

The first three Vegas Fun Nights directed proceeds towards renovations and expansion of the Kingsville Recreation Complex building. The event occupies the entire second floor of the complex, using the banquet room for the dinner and auction. This year, bidders pooled their winnings to earn the Big Silver Backyard Movie. While some combined bids to earn the same prize, others joined their winnings to create a combination event of a pig roast with fireworks.

“People pooled their money and pooled their prizes and they’ll have a ball,” said Bosse.

Some of the auction items donated had ‘real’ money values of up to $500. Bosse and Kobelsky spent about 160 hours arranging for and collecting auction prizes for this year’s fundraiser.

“We owe a big ‘thank you’ to all the sponsors and everyone who made donations,” explained Kingsville manager of programs Maggie Durocher. “Something like this couldn’t happen without them.”

The fifth annual Vegas Fun Night will take place SaturGrowing day, Feb. 21 at a cost of $50 per ticket.

Temporary dwelling request At the May 16 meeting, Leamington Council had to consider an application to permit using a mobile home as a temporary dwelling during the reconstruction of a house that was destroyed by fire on Mersea Road 8. The municipality does not permit mobile homes as residences unless certain very strict requirements are met.

In this case, Council heard that the temporary use complies with the requirements of Section 4.55 of the Zoning Bylaw and is proposed to be used for only about 180 days during reconstruction.

By Catherine Riediger All of Leamington is invited to help OUR municipality participate in Communities in Bloom (CiB). When the judges come at end of July to evaluate Leamington’s overall contribution through the CiB program, they will be rating the town’s performance under the following categories: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape and Floral Displays. Committees have been established for each of these categories and over the next few weeks they will be highlighted.

Environmental Action – Ted Wigfield, Committee Chair Criteria: This category includes efforts and achievement with respect to: policies, by-laws, programs and best practices, 3-R initiatives (reduce/reuse/recycle), waste reduction, composting sites, hazardous waste collections, water conservation, naturalization, and environmental stewardship activities under the guiding principles of sustainable development pertaining to green spaces.

What You Can Do: think green – reduce/reuse/recycle; use water wisely; compost; use environmental friendly transport – walk, bicycle when possible, leave your car at home and take Leamington transit; help with environmental stewardship activities; build, maintain and use trails.

Current Activities: During Charlie Wright’s visits to schools promoting the CiB program, at Margaret D. Bennie he was told about a program whereby the students collect organic waste which is sent to Seacliff Energy as feedstock for their bio digester that creates methane gas which is burned to produce electricity.

At Cardinal Carter Secondary School he was informed that

for the past eight years the students of the Construction Specialist High Skills Major Program have helped Gr. 2 students from Queen of Peace school to build birdhouses for their mothers on Mother’s Day. This year the students had the opportunity to build warbler birdhouses for Point Pelee National Park.

On the residential front, at a truckload sale held by the EWSWA in Essex, I purchased a green cone digester for my backyard. Materials accepted in the digester are meat and bones (chicken, fish and shells, pork), bread, pasta (cooked or uncooked), dairy and oil in small amounts, crushed eggshells, teabags and food preps. Corn cobs take too long to digest.

The digester turns food into liquid which drains into the soil.

Initially, the digester requires some activator that is provided which introduces a form of bacteria that aids in the breakdown of food in the basket. The biggest task is digging the hole for the basket. The green cone is a clean, easy-to-use, efficient, healthy way to minimize your family’s kitchen waste while helping the environment.

M.D. Bennie students Judy Thiessen and Sara Fehr with the school’s organic waste container.

We are the caretakers of our planet and, as such, have been entrusted with the responsibility of keeping it safe and healthy for everyone… our survival depends on it.

ARNOLD

GEORGE

Arnold is a sweet boy that tends to be a little shy at times. He is content to investigate and keep the whole house in check. Arnold is the type of cat that likes to be around people at a distance, but has no problem receiving any affection that comes his way. He enjoys sitting at the window, or playing with chase toys.

This stunning cat would make any house a home.

George is a border collie with a loving soul.

He is a friendly boy that is looking for a forever home. He loves to interact with people.

Cats may be slightly at risk as George does like to chase, and just doesn’t appreciate the specie. Toys are very important to George, not that he guards, actually the opposite. George throws the balls back to you and if you aren’t fast enough for him he will bark to get you moving.

Mosquitoes continue winning ways The Leamington Lakers Mosquito travel team, sponsored by Harder’s Heating & Cooling, continued their hot start to the season winning two games over Tecumseh Majors and Walker Homesites Mixed Majors over the weekend.

On the road in Tecumseh, the Lakers found themselves in a tough spot but a first inning highlight reel catch by Nathan Pilmer in right field set a good tone for the night and the Lakers cruised to a 12-6 victory. Austin Neufeld got Brandon Friesen gets ready to the win pitching 3 solid in- come home. Laker offense has nings, while Thomas Jen- looked good early on. nings, Spencer Bergen and Conner Bergen closed it out for the Lakers. Offensively, Nathan ‘Lil Speedy’ Krahn led the charge with a 3 for 3 performance while Nathan Pilmer, Troy Tiessen, Thomas Jennings and Alex Jadishcke all chipped in with a couple of hits against the hard throwing Thunder.

In Sunday’s home opener the Lakers cruised to an easy win. Kanaan Gale got the win on the mound combining with Tyler Wiebe and Brandon Friesen with 15 strikeouts.

Offensively, Thomas Jennings and Kanaan Gale led the way with 4 hits each, with Tyler Wiebe, Spencer Bergen, Brandon Friesen and Alex Jadischke throwing up 3 ropes of their own.

The coaching staff knows it’s early but this group of kids just has so much baseball sense in them it’s hard not to be excited about the season. Keep up the great play, boys!

The calm before the form By the time I started high school (1988), it had become painfully obvious that many careers in North America were going to involve sitting behind a computer. With that in mind, I decided that selecting a typing course as one of my electives would probably be for the best.

It was during that introductory course that I had first heard about ‘home row’ — a,s,d and f for the left hand fingers and j,k,l and ; for the right hand fingers.

The thumbs, it seems, both hang out at the space bar, taking turns on the big, blank key if their owner feels so inclined. It felt awkward at first, as my limited keyboard experience was based on the old ‘search and poke’ method. I was one of many who wondered why the letters weren’t arranged alphabetically.

I remember scrutinizing the concept of home row.

We’ve got eight fingertips to work with. The English language has 26 letters… and we waste one of them to hover above the semicolon? We’ve got to reach upward for the almost constantly-used letter E while a seldomused element of punctuation gets the right pinkie?

As it turns out, most people equipped with some sort of familiarity with ‘home row’ are much faster than those who still employ the old search and poke strategy of typing. There are few — VERY few — exceptions.

The editor of the first newspaper I worked for was one of them. He typed every word he ever wrote using nothing but his index fingers... and he was fast... and loud.

You could hear him typing away from the other side of the building. It sounded like two woodpeckers strung out on caffeine playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

Despite the exceptions, “form” and/or “technique” quite often draw the lines between good and great... or terrible and great. I’ve heard hunters and target shooters explain that you don’t actually PULL the trigger, you SQUEEZE the trigger. To this day, I don’t know the difference. Still, I’ve no doubt that the lack of proper hunting technique gave mankind its first vegetarians hundreds of years ago.

In competitive sport, technique or form is everything nowadays. There are computer programs that record and analyze the way a pitcher throws a baseball, a golfer swings a club or the way a punter kicks a football and then offer suggestions on how to improve speed, distance and accuracy. It’s usually about the angle of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee,

ankle or what have you, depending on the position and the sport.

Simply put, form (or lack thereof) explains why I can’t dance, golf, shoot, jump, ride a bike with no hands, skip or bowl. As of this past Friday (May 23), most of my coworkers can now vouch for me on that BRYAN last one. We took to JESSOP the hardwood paths of Empire Lanes as sponsors of the OWHA’s bantam Jessop’s Southpoint Stars Journal provincial silver medalists during a bowling party for the team that night. I’ve never seen footage (and hopefully never will), but I can only assume I look like a penguin with vertigo and two broken legs when I approach the foul line.

I had a similar problem with the running long jump in elementary school. I just couldn’t coordinate my strides to release the ball (bowling) or leap (long jump) at the right time or location. I was always too fearful of crossing the foul line or releasing/jumping too far in front of it.

Not that it would have been a big deal to cross the foul line during our recent bowling outing. It was about as laidback and uncompetitive as the sport gets. One of my coworkers, who shall remain nameless, could have KICKED the pins over if she had crossed that line by a few more inches. Maybe I’ve seen The Big Lebowski one time too many — not that we had any pistol-toting sticklers for the rules amid our ranks. Anyway, it was quite the mixture of players. Some had even less experience than me, releasing the ball as if they were shot put athletes rather than bowlers.

Sheila had a technique where you couldn’t hear the ball hit the floor.

For some, a specific form or technique is a matter of preference. Or at least that’s what I thought after taking a close look at a football game for the first time. Ever notice how some players start a play with only their feet touching the ground (two-point stance) while others also have one hand on the ground (three-point stance) or even both hands on the ground (four-point stance)? It depends on what position they play. Defensive linemen use a four-point stance to start with a greater burst of speed, offensive linemen use the three-point to maintain a lower centre of gravity while linebackers, defensive backs, receivers and running backs use the two-point for a better view of their surroundings and the ability to start moving in any direction.

In golf, technique is practically everything.

The Southpoint Sun - 23

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 Anthont 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 highlight-reel 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.

Proggers brave the weather On Tues. May 20, 48 Erie Shores’ boys of summer tackled the immaculate but damp conditions at the golf course. As young lads, when the weather was stormy these golfers delighted in the fact that they could romp around and splash themselves by jumping into inviting puddles. Today, what do they do? They put on waterproof shoes, rain gear and traipse around a golf course with umbrella in hand. However, they’re still young at heart. There were a few men that decided to forego that pleasure and went home.

Still, those that were brave-hearted trudged onwards. The team was chosen by “luck of the draw” but only a few considered themselves lucky. The men of Team Clubs were happy to each receive $10 for their labours. Club members include Ken Steingart, Barry Miller, Bill Conn, Neil Reimer, Ron Tremblay, Larry Roberts, John Rutgers, Jim Sudds, Dan McQueen, Ed Schachowsoy, Bob Park and Ken Cobby.

Only 3 skins passed through. Jim Sudds, Kevin Shaften and Bill Gherasim eagerly accepted $25 each.

Ken Steingart was the star golfer with an exceptional +11. In second place was Bill Conn (+3) while Richard Reive, Wayne Gillett, Dan Musuronchan and Frank Gow each received $2.50 for their +2.

Retracing back to the previous week’s game, there was a story that surfaced.

The main character, Orest Hrynewich, was playing his

second shot on hole #11.

When you think of odds, such as winning a lottery, one realizes the near impossibility of picking all the right numbers. In Orest’s case, the ball was flying nicely in the air, reaching its apex, when at the exact same moment a bird collided with his ball. Orest got his birdie. Unfortunately, it was a barn swallow.

For last week’s story, Mike Herbert, the league’s real long hitter, added another notch to his infamy.

On hole #17, what lay before him was a ditch that fed to a large pond to the

right and continued to hole #3. As Mike usually does, he swung with great gusto.

The ball sailed high, slicing drastically, only to land into the ladies’ drop area on #3.

When Mike and Jack Martin drove to the scene, the ladies that were there wondered what the heck was going on. Jack commented that he had never seen so much of the course at one time.

When Mike takes a cart, the pro shop usually has to give him a portable battery charger because he covers so much territory. The front staff would never give Mike a gas cart. I wonder why.

Rain puts a damper on senior golf

SODUKU ANSWERS

Tuesday, May 20 had very disappointing weather conditions as the Talbot Trail senior golfers experienced an overcast sky, cool temperatures and excessive rainfall. Of the 56 seniors who came prepared to attack the course, only “15 brave men” finished their round of golf.

Despite the poor playing conditions, Mike Wright demonstrated the right stuff as he fired the lowest round with his masterful 40. Two golfers, Jim Pearson and Jim Omstead, achieved terrific 42s. Bill Derbyshire earned an inspiring 46. Praiseworthy 48s came from Paul R. Brown and Richard Humber. One shot back with a satisfying 49 was John Liddell. Nifty 50 results came from Doug Langlois and Al Zanuttini. The other golfers who challenged the trying playing conditions were Paul Harrison, Brian Brown, Greg Wood, Terry Bee, Dan Tymec and Jerry Paine.

Bob Patchett hit an excellent shot on #9 to within 8.5 feet to win the closest to the pin prize. Soon after this, Patch left the course to find warmer and drier conditions. Al Zanuttini, renowned as one of the league’s long hitting senior golfers, showed that he could make lengthy putts as he converted one in to the cup from 25 feet. This gave him the long putt win for #2!

Hopefully, with warm weather and a dried up course more of our senior league members will get to participate.

Golf Tip – Give it a Try!: Aim at the back of the hole on short putts. If you don’t stroke the putt firmly, the putter face won’t square up, and you will push the putt to the right or leave the putt short. A slow moving putt will break away from the hole if there is a small break near the hole.

For short putts aim at the back of the hole and strike the putt solidly so that it rolls straight to the target without the break. Of course, don’t miss the hole as you might have another putt of similar length. Give it a try. This method might work for you.

Timbits U5 soccer: May 21 Timbits #1’s Dario Verissimo played a very aggressive game. Vincent Brown showed team spirit. Good job, everyone.

Timbits #2 played a good game getting in front of the ball at the net. They had some good chances to score as well.

Timbits #3’s Matthew Mastermateo had 2 great goals and showed great control of the ball! Max Friesen had some great chances and played a good defensive game.

Timbits #5: Goal scorers were Mark Herrera, Joshua Leathem and Kayde Grossi (2).

Timbits #7 showed great effort and big improvement from Sonny Coppola, Kaleigh Woolven and Nicolas Magri. Caden Raffoul came real close to scoring, so did Mitchell Moracci.

Timbits #8 played an awesome game filled with energy and teamwork. Three goals were scored by Noah, Alexander and Hussan. Well done!

Timbits #9 played well together as a team, highlighted by the efforts of new players Amira Hala and Destany Dupuis.

Timbits #10: Ethan Bowman and Alessandro Barbosa had a number of great rushes down the field and Ethan got a goal for his efforts.

Good turnout for Thursday night men’s league A good number of 71 players came out this past Thursday, May 22, in the first week of officially tabulated scores for the Erie Shores Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League.

This year the format has changed a bit to where the 10 teams each week will face off against other teams, meaning that there will be 5 different team matches played weekly.

Two points will be awarded for each of the top 4 net round matches, while another 2 points will be given to the best 2 gross scores between the 2 teams. In the case of a tie for any of the matches played, both teams will pick up a single point.

The leading team this past week was Sam Snead who finished on top with 9 points in their match against Team Gene Sarazen who ended up with 3 points. Team Snead’s Brendan Cornies and Ward Hutchins won the gross score matches, while John Penner and Doug Hinchcliffe won their net score matches. Team Sarazen’s Matt Taouil managed to pick up 2 points for his net score, and Mike Herbert and George Schiefer each picked up a single point for their teams as they tied in their net match round.

The team of Ben Hogan tied with Team Bobby Jones for second place with 8 points apiece. In Team Hogan’s match against Team Gary Player, Van Tan and Ken Cobby both won their low gross score matches and Tom Dearie and Dave Wilkinson picked up the other 4 points by winning their net play matches. Team Player’s 4 points came from Ed Woelk and John Davis who each won for their better net round scores.

In the match event featuring the teams of Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus, the Jones squad got their 8 points from their low gross score winners of Brian Humphreys and Peter Neufeld and the two top net score finishers, Bill Slater and Bill Plumb. Picking up the 4 points for Team Nicklaus with their low net wins were Garth Dennerley and Ken Labbe.

Team Lee Trevino and Tom Watson also had a fine start this past week finishing in third place with 7 points apiece. In the match featuring the Lee Trevino group against Harry Vardon, Gary McRae won for his low gross score, while Albert Jenkins and Todd Bell each won for their low net rounds. Gene Bouliane got a single point for tying Jack Martin for one of the low net matches, while the other 4 points on Team Harry Vardon came from Ken Babkirk’s low gross victory and John Rutgers low net win.

In the match featuring the teams of Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer, each group got a point in the gross round that was tied by Geoff Dunmore and Tim Towle. The other 2 points for best low gross went to Spencer Neufeld. Six of the 8 points available for low net matches came from wins by Wayne Quinn, Greg Dunmore and John St. James, while Vic Penner got Team Palmer’s other 2 points with his low net victory.

In the individual play, Geoff Dunmore was closest to the pin on hole #3, while Brian Humphreys had the longest drive on the 6th hole and Ward Hutchins made the longest putt on hole #8. Players winning skins included Geoff Dunmore, Jerry Janzer, Todd Bell and Dave Wilkinson.

As for the past 7 years, the Canadian Tire in Leamington is generously sponsoring the Thursday Night League, while Jose’s Bar & Grill and Speedprint are giving out weekly prizes for longest putt and longest drive.

Players are reminded that next Thursday, June 5, the league is having it first Fun/Meal Night of the season at Erie Shores’ Flamingos Restaurant. Be sure to let Tee Starter Larry Stull know if you can make it or call the Pro Shop now at 519-326-4231 ext. 22 to book your meal. The 9-hole shotgun scramble starts at 5:30 p.m. with dinner to follow at approximately 8:00 p.m.

By Mike Bennett South Buxton Raceway If you want to talk winning races, Joel Dick will chat it up all day. If you want to talk points, it will be a short conversation.

“No, not at all,” Dick answered about whether his first South Buxton Raceway points championship is a goal. “I don’t check them, I don’t look at them,” he said of the points standings.

“Obviously the better you do, the more points you’re going to have, but we just come out here to do our best and try to win as many races as we can.”

And all the Leamington driver has done this season is win feature races. Dick took both checkered flags on double-feature night on Saturday and has won all four Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modified features to start the 2014 season. He led the first 15 laps of the first feature, losing the lead briefly to Shrewsbury’s Jim Dale Jr. after a restart with 10 to go but regained control and led the final five circuits.

In the nightcap, Dick started in the third row but quickly worked his way through the field to take the lead on lap five and led the rest of the way.

“The team has been doing awesome, we’ve been doing a great job in the shop, in the pits and on the track… it’s all working out so far,” Dick said of his fast start. “Everything’s going good, so far, we hope to keep this streak going as long as we can.”

Dick, who has won five straight features dating back to last September’s 2013 season championship race, has won 21 feature races since moving up to the Modified class in 2010. He finished second in the season points standings each of the last three years.

Belle River’s Mario Toniolo finished third in both features as he is second in the drivers’ standings, 55 points behind Dick.

Merlin’s Brad McLeod was the runner-up in the first feature and was ninth in nightcap while Joe Brosseau and Jeff Daniels, both of Merlin, were sixth and eighth, respectively, in the second race.

Cottam’s Denis DeSerrano was seventh in both features.

Wheatley’s Justin Mills finished eighth, Windsor’s Shawn Gillis ninth and Essex’s Gerald Martin 10th in the first 20-car feature.

Gillis was 10th in the second 18-car field.

Cameron Symons and Jordan Avelar each scored twice for Leamington while Kristian Pelling added the other.

The second half picked up intensity with LMS closing the gap while continuing to play shorthanded. On defence, Acacia Hutnik displayed her usual aggressive style to keep the attackers from Oakway at bay and gave them only a couple of opportunities. Josh Schmitt kept the defenders on their toes. For his part, Frank Cabrera had a good game on mid-field during the first half and played very well in net during the second, making some crucial saves.

Mill St. track and field meet The staff and students of Mill Street Public School held their annual Track & Field Meet on Tues. May 13 and they couldn’t have asked for a better day. The extraordinary weather and bright sunshine were matched by the enthusiasm and excitement of the participants, who thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Throughout the day the students demonstrated good sportsmanship, mutual support and determination, and many of them took home ribbons as evidence of their efforts.

Staff and students alike were excited to have the opportunity to hold the track meet at Leamington District Secondary School for the first time. A big thank you goes out from Mill Street school to the LDSS students who assisted with the events and ran the concession stand.

Once again, Mill Street students showed their Magic! The top winners from each event moved on to participate at the regional Track & Field event on May 20.
