All levels working toward a solution to shoreline flooding

By Sheila McBrayne

Wayne King of Pulley Road, Leamington, has watched the changing landscape of Lake Erie’s north shore for more than 50 years.

King, spokesperson for the Leamington Shoreline Association, wants to use all the current media attention concentrated on the flooding of Pulley Road, Cotterie Park, Hillman Marsh and Marentette Beach areas and turn it into something that can be positive.

King, along with Leamington’s Director of infrastructure, Rob Sharon, have been and continue to work with all levels of government to create a plan for the future of the area. Although not able to give exact details just yet, King and Sharon expect to have an announcement within the next month.

They are awaiting final approval to fund a Floodplain Mapping Study for the area from Wheatley Harbour to Point Pelee.

Recent spring flooding in the east beach area dredges up decades of memories for Wayne King, spokesperson for the King who has been Leamington Shoreline Association, witness to many of remembers a time when his lakefront property on Pulley Road had 100 feet the changes. King has of lawn and beach, which is now subcompiled a 24-page merged into Lake Erie. dossier, which chronicles the various actions of the different governments over that past decades. He has had the research for years and was waiting for the right time to release it. “With all the media attention recent flooding has attracted, I think now is the time,” said King.

“The flooding on Leamington’s east beaches is a manmade crisis, caused by governments at all levels including ERCA and exacerbated by climate change. To this issue, the government (ERCA) gets all the news media attention, and never have the property owners been able to tell their complete story,” stated King.

King’s report documents what he believes are the contributing factors over the past 100 years.

20 years of mobile meat canning

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – One of the most logical partnerships on the continent continues to produce positive results for the world’s hungry.

The Mennonite Central Committee’s Mobile Meat Canner made its 20th annual stop in Leamington on Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1, where a small army of volunteers once again stepped up to assist underprivileged populations around the globe. For the fourth consecutive year, the canner made its local stop at the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners’ facility on Industrial Drive — a location operated by staff and volunteers backed with ample experience in helping to feed the world’s hungriest communities.

This year, about 400 volunteers from across Windsor-Essex County, Chatham-Kent and beyond gathered for five-hour “The fact that shifts within the hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. both Tuesday and so many people Wednesday. The combined efforts again came courtesy of sevgive up their eral church and community groups who took on duties includtime to be here ing cleaning, packing, sealing, preparing, drying, labeling and is great.” packaging about 12,600 cans.

— Peter Fiss This year, the 795 gram cans were filled with chicken breast trim purchased at a discounted rate from Mississauga-based Tri R Foods.

Each year, the meat of choice depends on price and availability. Last year, volunteers who meet at the Gleaners’ in Leamington filled cans with fresh turkey.

For 2019, the same location topped cans off with 10,000 kg of fresh chicken, adding only the meat’s own juices and a pinch of salt.

The two-day operation in Leamington was again the canner’s last destination for the year.

“The supplier (Tri R Foods) we’ve worked with for quite some time has given us a good price,” explained Southwestern Ontario Gleaners volunteer coordinator Peter Fiss. “Every year, it’s been phenomenal. The fact that so many people give up their time to be here is great. I can’t say enough about the support from Leamington and surrounding communities — it’s been wonderful.”

Shifts of volunteers, which also include residents who prepare break time snacks, are arranged into five-hour brackets of 7 a.m. to noon, noon to 5 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for both days in Leamington. The local stop for the MCC’s Mobile Meat Canner was one of 32 arranged mostly through the United States. The canner arrived in Leamington on the afternoon of Saturday, April 27 after a visit to Elmira, Ontario — the only other Canadian stop.

This year’s cost for the Leamington visit is about $80,000, with the meat itself being the single largest expense. Donations to help offset those costs can be sent to the Kindred Credit Union at 243 Erie St. South in Leamington (519-3268601).

Last year’s Leamington canner stop sent cans of turkey to North Korea, the Ukraine and a destination in Africa. Until a location is selected, filled cans are stored at a location in Plum Coulee, Manitoba, about 30 km north of the U.S. border and 100 km southwest of Winnipeg.

Hospice Welcome Centre opens ahead of schedule

By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – Thanks to the generous donation of a local couple, the new Erie Shores Hospice Welcome Centre opened approximately three years ahead of schedule.

Don and Kathy Mastronardi donated the funds to build the 4,500 square foot facility to honour the memory of their parents – Umberto and Mary Mastronardi and Roy and Betty Hockaday. The building is located immediately south of the Erie Shores Hospice Residential Home and will be a Welcome Centre used to host Hospice wellness programs, volunteer training and celebratory events.

Erie Shores Hospice opened in April 2016 with the vision to add a Welcome Centre in the future. Master of Ceremonies Joe Oswald stated that the Mastronardi’s gift allowed that vision to become a reality much sooner than anticipated. “We can truly say we have a hospice village here,” stated Jane Wiens, Hospice Board of Directors Chair.

The official opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Thursday, May 2 with a tent full of volunteers, invited guests, donors and representatives. Essex County Warden Gary McNamara stated the County’s support of hospice. “What we have at Windsor and Erie Shores hospices is the benchmark of what hospice should look like,” he stated.

Joan McSweeny, Hospice Board of Directors, told the stories of the two couples honoured and the new building’s namesakes – the Hockadays and Mastronardis. “Kathy and Don Mastronardi found a very meaningful way to honour their parents,” stated McSweeny.

Carrie Ann Peters of the Caldwell First Nation performed a smudging ceremony with sage and cedar earlier that morning. As well, Naomi Peters, 23, of the Caldwell First Nation, presented her painting Ashagi (Blue Herron). “I was asked to do a painting to help welcome native people to the centre,” stated Peters.

There are currently more than 50 programs being offered at the Windsor Hospice location. The opening of the Erie Shores Welcome Centre will alleviate the travel times made by families and friends from the County. The Welcome Centre has two large adjoining rooms – one named for the Mastronardis and one named for the Hockadays – that open into one grand reception area.

An expanded financial agreement with the Erie Shores Health Foundation will ensure that hospice programs and services remain available at no cost to the patients and families. Erie Shores Health Foundation supports Erie Shores HealthCare as well as Erie Shores Hospice.

Christine Colautti, Executive Director, Erie Shores Health Foundation, informed the crowd of the Foundation’s upcoming Life Walk on Sunday, June 9 at Seacliff Park. Last year,

this walk raised over $30,000. This year’s proceeds will be directed at funding the programs at the Welcome Centre.

“Our counterparts across the province are always recognizing the works of Windsor-Essex and our hospice programs,” stated Colleen Reaume, Executive Director, Hospice of Windsor and Essex County. She went on to explain that of the 84 hospice programs in Ontario, only half of them have day programs similar to what will be offered locally.

“We all have a story. Today we celebrate your stories, stories of loved ones who had the privilege to go through this facility,” concluded Oswald.

LEAMINGTON – Despite a lack of cooperation from Mother Nature, The Mill Street Night Market is off to a good start.

The inaugural installment of the new monthly program, organized and presented as a partnership between the Municipality of Leamington and the Leamington Art Centre, was well received by visitors and vendors alike. Pedestrians perused the displays of more than 20 vendors including artisans and food/beverage providers while live music was performed from Shotten Park.

“It was absolutely amazing,” explained Leamington Art Centre director Chad Riley, who also noted that organizers were receiving phone calls inquiring about the market from Windsor residents. “Despite the cold, damp weather for early May, the community really supported it. People at the event were telling us that it was great and that they couldn’t wait for the next one. The fact that so many people stayed through the cold and

the rain showed that they really wanted this.”

“We were thrilled with the response,” added Leamington culture and tourism developer Kyra Knapp, who spearheads the organization of The Mill Street Market along with Riley. “Even with the dreary weather, the comments were overwhelmingly positive. The people seem to share the vision of the municipality with the reinvention of the uptown.”

Knapp noted that the Leamington BIA and Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) are also supporters of the Mill Street Night Markets. She encourages vendors to apply for future editions of the event through the Market’s Facebook events page or through the Onthe42 or LAC websites.

Riley explained that the LAC has rearranged its monthly reception schedule to coincide with this year’s Mill Street Night Market dates and times. Most markets will take place from 5 p.m. to about 10 p.m. on the first Friday of the month, with the exception of August

—which will take place on the 9th to avoid competing with Hogs For Hospice — and the finale in November.

The last Night Market will take place the same evening as Leamington’s Santa Claus Parade and either be at the Municipal Building at 111 Erie St. North or again at the revamped Mill Street West.

Riley noted that each Mill Street Night Market will vary slightly from the last, as some vendors plan to attend each month while others intend to set up for one specific month. For the June 7 gathering, live musicial performers will be set up at each end of the market while the section of the street is closed off from motor vehicle traffic.

“The reconstruction of the street worked out really well for this event,” said Riley. “The string lights really added to the ambiance and the custom tents ordered for it were great. We expect that each event will be bigger and better with every month. There’ll be a great mix of vendors through the entire market season.”

LEAMINGTON – Municipal representatives are hoping that the solution to the greenhouse industry’s growing pains can be found overseas.

Leamington Municipal Council has authorized Mayor Hilda MacDonald and CAO Peter Neufeld to attend a trip to the Netherlands for a business development mission being spearheaded by the Windsor Essex Economic Development Commission (WEEDC). The trip will run a course of just over a week from June 8 to 15, including participation in the GreenTech Amsterdam Conference from June 11-13 and additional greenhouse-based tours including the Ridder Group’s Harderwijk facilities.

“The fact is we’re facing greenhouse growth issues with light pollution and odor,” said Neufeld, referring in part to cannabis production in Leamington. “The Netherlands are the front-runners in new greenhouse technology and we have a chance to get a sense of the technology being used to address these issues.”

Costs associated with the trip will include $800 round trip flights per person from Toronto. The price of accommodations while in the Netherlands has been pegged at $3,000 per person — a combined $7,600 for Leamington’s mayor and CAO. These costs will be funded through conference, training and operating budgets through the appropriate council departments. Registration for the conference is free for those who sign up prior to June 2.

Leamington Library on schedule with overhaul

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – In less than three months’ time, a major renovation of Leamington’s Essex County Library branch will be in the books.

Vince Ferro Construction Ltd. of Windsor began working on both a significant facelift as well as a complete transformation of the interior space at the 1 John Street site in mid autumn of 2018 and at the current rate, the library’s doors are expected to reopen by August 1 this year at the latest. Municipal council tendered the job in July of last year and once construction began, the library temporarily relocated to the former Hakim Optical building on Erie Street South.

Director of community and development services Paul Barnable estimated that construction will be complete between late May and mid June, after which point the Essex County Library will furnish the interior and add finishing touches. In the meantime, a one-month extension has been worked into the lease at the Erie Street South site to accommodate any potential delays.

“With a new project, there’s always things to uncover that you didn’t expect to delay you, but the timeline has been on schedule,” Barnable noted.

“With the glass exterior done, it’ll move pretty quickly from here on in.”

Although the all-new library will remain at the same site where it has operated since 1912, the interior’s square footage will increase from 7,700 sq. ft. to about 9,200 sq. ft. One interior wall that was a solid permanent fixture will be moveable to create a larger space for special events and programming. The library will also feature a new, fully soundproofed studio for audio recordings

The tendered construction price of the library project came out to $1.3 million while the project in its entirety harbours a price tag of about $1.6 million.

The additional $300,000 includes engineering and design fees, rental and renovations required at the former Hakim site and other miscellaneous expenses.

“It’ll be a much more modern space in comparison to what they had before,” said Barnable, who also noted that the space for kids’ activities will also be expanded.

The current Leamington Library at John and Erie streets was built in the 1950s, with an addition constructed in 1974. Major renovations over the past 30 years have consisted of updates to the programming room in 1990, an interior restyle in 1998 and the construction of a new roof in 2011.

Due to provincial funding cuts to the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS), interlibrary loan service has been cancelled throughout Ontario.

This means that items ordered from other library systems will no longer be available. No new requests can be made and any in-progress requests have been cancelled.

The loss of inter-library borrowing does not affect inter-branch borrowing. Library patrons can still borrow, return and request materials from other libraries in their local library system.

On Saturday, May 4 public librarians from across SW Ontario met with Michael Tibollo, Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport as well as MPP Rick Nicholls, Chatham-Kent Leamington who came to Chatham to discuss the government’s plans and reassure library personel that the government is listening to their input on what library services are most important.

Exterior glass panels are added as part of the renovation project for the Leamington branch of the Essex County Public Library Tuesday, April 30. Construction at the site is on pace to be completed between late May and early-mid June with a re-opening date estimated at roughly August 1.

Memories of...

Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time

Your write, there only words I often wonder if society in general has become lazy when it comes to the English language.

Sure, I’m guilty of the occasional LOL and BRB myself, so I’ll try not to throw too many stones.

I no longer attend school and I’m not a teacher, so I’m only guessing that the curriculum omitted basic spelling and phonics many years ago.

There’s a word from the past: phonics. Remember the little phonics books we were tested on back in the sixties? And the old Dick and Jane readers too. I assume they no longer exist.

Imagine the following paragraph, if you will: Mark Ribble “Irregardless of the outcome, your not going to like it. There just a better team then you’res. It would take a nucular explosion too change what you all ready no.”

The whole ‘your, you’re thing’ drives me crazy and I see educated people on social media using it improperly all the time. Throw in the ‘they’re, there, their’ confusion and you’ve got a mess of homonyms that seem to confuse the current generations.

And it doesn’t stop there. Two, to and too are often misused. How can that be?

I don’t consider myself the grammar police but it is a pet peeve of mine to see grown adults using shortcut language or horrible grammar in public posts.

Back in the seventies, Schoolhouse Rock produced little animated shorts that played during the kids TV slots. You may remember ‘I’m Just A Bill’ as the most popular one, but they had them for grammar too.

“Conjunction junction, what’s your function.” Or how about “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.”

These little snippets actually served a purpose and helped shape the grammar and history skills of American and Canadian kids alike.

In the sixties we were taught simple grammar rules, so we knew where apostrophes went, but apparently that’s gone out the window. Apostrophes, in general, are to be used for possession, not plurals, but more and more I’m seeing them used to pluralize things.

So many common words are misspelled or mis-pronounced, like nuclear, which seems to be pronounced ‘nucular’ by at least half of the educated news people on TV and radio.

Locally, I often hear the Windsor radio stations pronouncing Mersea as Mer-SEE-a with the emphasis on the SEE. I cringe every time I hear it (or here it).

I think the short forms are okay in the right context. Texting is meant to be a quick, short burst that can be sent off in a hurry, so all is forgiven in a private message like that.

I would love to be the person on Facebook who corrects everyone’s spelling and grammar but it would be a full time job, and I’d likely lose a lot of friends in the process.

Nobody likes a know-it-all.

Speaking of losing friends, there is a whole generation out there that cannot differentiate between the words lose and loose.

Or how about those who go the other way and expand would’ve into ‘would of’. It’s WOULD HAVE!!!

See, now I’m just getting irritated and starting to type in capital letters. It’s time to put this to rest.

As the Brothers Gibb once said, it’s only words and words are all I have, to take your heart away.

All levels working for a solution to shoreline flooding

Abduction attempt falsely reported

This photo was taken on Wednesday, May 1 as water levels breached the roadway and Lakeshore Road was closed.

LEAMINGTON – There is no concern for public safety in relation to a reported attempted abduction in Leamington on May 2, said Ontario Provincial Police in a media release.

Leamington OPP received a report of the attempted abduction on Thursday evening, May 2. According to the report, a female was approached by suspect(s) in a full-size blue van while she was walking on Elliot St. near Clark St. W. at approximately 9:15 p.m. The report also stated that the van had crossed the street and stopped beside the female, at which time the side door opened and a man inside tried to grab her arm.

Further investigation has concluded that this incident was not an attempted abduction. It has been confirmed that the door of the suspect vehicle was never opened, nor was there any attempt to grab the female when approached.

The OPP is still seeking the assistance of the public in identifying the vehicle and/or its occupants.

Properties along Cotterie Park, Lakeshore, Pulley, and Marentette Beach experienced high water levels last week. This photo was taken May 1.

(Continued from Front) American sand sucking operations to position themselves in Canadian waters, just one mile off of Point Pelee. Sand sucking took place from 1910 until 1984.

Government-issued permits allowed the removal of 525,000 cubic metres of sand material per year.

2. Wheatley Harbour extension: In 1950 the federal government built the Wheatley Harbour extension, which interrupted the lateral drift of sand – the migration of sand along the shoreline.

3. Breakwall at Pulley: In 1973, a 2,700-foot breakwall was constructed to protect Pulley Road. In King’s report it states the breakwall redirected sand further from shore.

“Over the past 20 years, hundreds of thousands of tax dollars have been spent on study after study and never resulted in the implementation of a solution. For this reason, there is a high degree of frustration and anger amongst our communities. It is time the residents get the opportunity to tell their side of the story,” stated King.

King and Sharon are optimistic about what a Floodplain Mapping Study could mean for the area. “First we need to understand the problem before we can build solutions,” said Sharon. Once approved to move forward, the study could be completed by March 2020.

“This then tells us the sustainability between Wheatley to Point Pelee. It will tell us how severe it is and what type of shoreline infrastructure will make the area sustainable – some might be fine and others might not be sustainable…

There might be some tough choices coming up. We know there is no easy solution,” stated Sharon.

“There’s been a lot of efforts by various governments over the years to fix the problem at that time, but no one maintained them,” said King. “Its going to be positive for us to get awareness. It will be a roadmap going forward,” he concluded.

Friendship Club hears about the Galapagos, Amazon and more

By Bonnie Dawson

WHEATLEY – The Wheatley & District Friendship Club meeting on May 1 began with the singing of O Canada led by Lena Janik with Doreen Armstrong on piano, followed by the blessing.

Happy Birthday was sung for those with May birthdays — Jean Rosenfeld and Bill Merritt.

Thanks to Alma Edsall and Linda Wigfield who were on lunch and provided a lovely assortment of cakes, squares, pastries, etc.

Thanks also to Bill Merritt and Jr. Churchill for the clean-up.

The winners of the 50/50 draws were Jean Rosenfeld and Bonnie Dawson.

The guest speaker for the afternoon was Dale Mills who gave an informative presentation of a trip he and 10 others took to Ecuador.

They began in Quito and continued on to the rainforests along one of the tributaries of the Amazon and concluded with a visit to the Galapagos Islands.

At the time of Dale’s visit to Quito, there were many police in riot gear with many carrying machine guns. Most stores have armed security guards with bullet proof vests.

From Quito, they flew to Coca, a poor town, where they got a dilapidated open bus to the dock on the Napo River where they journeyed by boat up the Napo River to Yachana Lodge. A large

dugout canoe hewn from tree trunks stops to pick up children along the river to bring them to school as there are no roads.

They had a very knowledgeable guide who led them on long hikes into the rainforest where they saw squirrel monkeys which would sit on anyone’s shoulder, bats, several types of birds, dozens of insects (butterflies, tarantulas, spiders, scorpions, large cockroaches, paper ants, etc.), geckos and other types of lizards. At night, the noise from all the insects and creatures was so loud it was like having the TV on at full volume.

Activities provided at the lodge included a cleansing of negative spirits by the

local shaman, lessons in pottery making and basket weaving and trying their skill at the native ways of using a blow gun and spear.

In the Galapagos, they had an itinerary for each day which included such things as snorkelling and checking out the wildlife and landscape. Even in early morning, the temperature was about 31ºC. They saw many dolphins and swam with a sea turtle, sea lions, stingrays and thousands of fish.

While on hikes, they saw all kinds of land iguanas, lava lizards, pelicans, seals and sea lions on the beach and tracks made by turtles after laying their eggs and the places where they laid their eggs.

Public meeting coming for Parkdale closure

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The input of residents to be affected by more construction on Parkdale Avenue will be gathered at a public meeting on Tuesday, May 14 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers, 111 Erie St. N., Leamington.

Residents of the Parkdale Avenue area will have the opportunity to voice their concerns and questions regarding the impending partial and temporary closure of the urban Leamington street. The closure will take place in order to accommodate the construction of two 10-storey apartment buildings on property at and surrounding 29 Parkdale Avenue currently owned by the project’s developer. Once completed, the two multi-residential towers will be given the address of 302 Sherk Street.

All costs associated with Parkdale Avenue’s closure will be the responsibility of the apartment buildings’ developer.

Construction at the site centered around 29 Parkdale will include a new cul de sac that will shorten the length of the street at its west end. This modification will accommodate parking requirements for the new apartment towers.

More information is posted on the municipal website www.leamington.ca Director of legal and legislative services Ruth Orton explained that the project developer has, like other affected property owners, been assessed a cost for the recent sewer separation project based on frontage. The cost at the 29 Parkdale site was assessed at $8,900 while all the developer’s properties in the area combined came out to about $44,000.

Administration and Council alike acknowledge that the timing behind the impending Parkdale closure is unfortunate considering the recent sewer separation project, but noted that during that sewer project, there was no confirmation that the two-structure apartment plans would materialize.

Wishing you all a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY Rick Nicholls, MPP CHATHAM-KENT-LEAMINGTON

LEAMINGTON – The health and well being of Leamington’s longest-travelled workforce has once again been proven a top priority.

The annual Health and Information Fair took place at the Roma Club Sunday, April 29, where hundreds of labourers represented by the Migrant Worker Community Program (MWCP) gathered to benefit from basic medical services and information provided by 24 displays set up by participating organizations.

Included as part of the fair were free blood pressure tests, glucose screenings for diabetes, vision screenings and other services.

The event was sponsored by the MWCP as well as the Municipality of Leamington, Rotary International, Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, the Roma Club and the Town of Kingsville.

Of the 400 workers who attended last year, two were

found to be at risk of emergency medical conditions that were diagnosed on site. Both were sent to appropriate medical practitioners and are currently in good health. Each year, the fair is attended by health care professionals including dentists, hearing test providers, physicians, optometrists and representatives of organizations representing the well being of labourers.

In addition to medical screenings, income tax preparation services and legal aid is made available to visitors.

Interpreters were on hand to translate for workers, who were eligible for door prizes and a draw for one of six refurbished bicycles. Also during the fair, the Rotary Club of Leamington and Windsor St. Clair were on hand to install free bicycle safety lights.

Locally, migrant workers inject more than $42 million into the economy and more than $1.14 billion of annual revenue into the national economy.

About 650 cyclists, aboard 400 bikes, made the trek to Kingsville on Sunday to participate in the annual Blessing of the Bikes at First Lutheran Church.

Blessing of the Bikes

By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE – They were blessed before the event even began – the sun was shining down as motorcyclists roared into Kingsville for the annual Blessing of the Bikes on Sunday, May 5 at First Lutheran Church.

It was a morning of blessing bikers for the riding season, fellowship and dispelling myths surrounding the biking community.

Sure there were tattoos, plenty of leather, some piercings and bikes in virtually every size, colour and make, but there were also plenty of hugs, kind words and more than a few tears shed.

The event, coordinated by the Hogs For Hospice crew, was a morning to raise awareness and promote the safety of the motorcycles on the road for this year’s riding season.

Pastor Dusan Tillinger bestowed the blessing before a crowd of about 650 bikers, seniors, youngsters and interested visitors.

It was a record crowd for the event, the third held at First Lutheran Church.

Joe Oswald, a spokesman for Hogs For Hospice, said their first year they had to reach across the border to Ann Arbor to find a pastor willing to bless the bike season locally.

Since then, Oswald said

they have formed a solid partnership with the First Lutheran Church, with three other churches coming on board as well – Meadow Brook, South Point and Lighthouse.

Sunday offered an outdoor service for all interested, before the blessing.

As the service went on, the number of motorcycles arriving grew exponentially.

Looking westward down Beech Street, Oswald was overwhelmed by the number of bikes that had made the trek to Kingsville from Toronto, London, Windsor and throughout Michigan, with the lineup stretching down Beech to Division Street.

He estimated the number at about 400 motorcycles and became emotional as he stood overlooking the crowd below.

For Oswald, it was all about bike safety and bringing the community together leading up to the Hogs For Hospice weekend August 2-4.

He said in the years since the opening of Erie Shores Hospice, 650 families had benefited from their efforts — about the same number as those on hand for the blessing.

Oswald, who rides a motorcycle himself, said he also wanted to help revamp the stereotype of the biker.

“They are the most giving

community,” said Oswald.

While he admits some have a rather gruff exterior, the festival-type atmosphere provided a chance to renew acquaintances and, in some cases, remember friends or family members lost in biking accidents.

Following the blessing, the crowd was treated to hot dogs, ice cream and enter-

tainment.

Oswald and his crew were left marvelling at the continuing growth of the blessing, and are hoping that translates to another successful Hogs For Hospice weekend.

So far, the event has raised over half a million dollars for the Erie Shores Hospice Campus in just three years.

Mayor, CAO look to Netherlands for greenhouse solutions (Continued from Page A-4) Travel between destinations within the Netherlands are being paid for by WEEDC. “I think this would be money well spent, being in the division of agriculture where we are,” explained Councillor Tim Wilkinson. “If we’re going to be a leader in the greenhouse industry, we’ve got to address how to deal with the issues.”

Neufeld explained that WEEDC initially planned to invite local business representatives to attend the trip, but none had expressed interest in the initiative at the time.

Councillors John Hammond and John Jacobs echoed Wilkinson’s sentiments, as the latter described the visit as “long overdue” as a means of showing Canada’s and Essex County’s role and com-

mitment to establishing itself as a global leader in the greenhouse industry.

The Municipality of Leamington first learned of the upcoming WEEDC visit to the Netherlands when administration was approached by the Town of Kingsville. In addition to the tours, the gathering is being established to examine the European business sector’s interest in expansion into Canada while arranging connections with local firms.

Upon returning, WEEDC plans to create documentation and set up a workshop on “Doing Business with the Dutch” to promote awareness with local companies.

From there, the Commission hopes to prepare a second trip as a means of connecting local companies to suppliers.

WEEDC executed a simi-

lar incentive in India, which it described as being well received by the manufacturing sector.

“There’s lots of money coming in from Holland already,” MacDonald stated while also pointing out that legislation pertaining to greenhouse light and odour are extremely strict in the

Quilts of Valour presented

Milana’s Men’s Wear Grand Opening Milana’s Men’s Wear, at 46 Erie St. South in Leamington, held its Grand Opening on Friday, April 26, as the store re-branded from The Jean Academy to Milana’s Men’s Wear. Nat and Krista Milana opened the business in 1993, carrying stylish clothing for both men and women. Last November, they made the decision to rebrand as a men’s wear store and discontinued the ladies line. Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald was on hand to help with the rebranding, shown here with Nat Milana.

Two more Wheatley Legion Branch 324 members received their Quilts of Valour on Thursday, May 2. Cousins Fred Cobby and Ted Cobby, who both served from 1955 to 1959 as peacetime soldiers with the Essex Scottish Regiment, were presented with the quilts during a short ceremony held at the Legion. Fred, 92, made the five-and-a-half hour drive from Holley, New York. Previous quilt recipients attended the ceremony as well. Pictured from left to right are Sony Chenette, Quilts of Valour Canadian representative, Ted Cobby, Fred Cobby and MaryMaureen Atkin, Veteran Services Officer, Kingsville Legion. Since the program started in 2006, more than 12,500 quilts have been awarded across Canada. The goal is to distribute 20,000 quilts by 2020. The Quilts of Valour program is always looking for names of veterans to receive quilts and also for donations of 100% cotton fabric and, of course, they always need quilters.

Local student wins GLWS poster contest

Petition to keep the mega hospital at the approved site

Poster contest designs encourage lifejacket use

LEAMINGTON – The Great Lakes Water Safety Consortium (GLWSC) announced the winner of its first water safety poster contest. The poster designs, submitted by middle school students from Ontario as well as the eight Great Lakes states, encouraged other kids to wear lifejackets in and around the water.

The winner was Lauryn Dewhurst, a Grade 6 student from Gore Hill Public School in Leamington. She won a pizza party for her whole class, courtesy of the Consortium.

Lauryn’s clever “You’re Not A Fish, So Wear Your Lifejacket” design will be featured on an exclusive t-shirt and her entire class, as well as her parents, will receive free tshirts. Lauryn will also be presented with an award at her school on May 17.

Those who donate $50 or more to GLWSC’s Water Safety Month giving campaign, “Safer Lakes ~ Greater Lakes”, will also receive a t-shirt featuring Lauryn’s design.

Donations to GLWSC directly support the group’s efforts to warn people of rip currents and other dangers with beach signage, provide lifejackets that kids and adults may borrow while at the beach, equip rescue stations so drowning victims can be quickly saved, reach water lovers on social media, fund water safety education and training programs in schools, and support innovative solutions like flotationdelivery drones.

“Lifejackets work, but only if you wear them,” says Jamie Racklyeft, executive director of the GLWSC and Lake Michigan rip current survivor. “You don’t put your seatbelt on when you’re about to crash, or your bike helmet on when you’re about to fall, so you shouldn’t expect you’ll be able to put on a lifejacket when you’re drowning. Don’t just bring it – wear it.”

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-

Lauryn Dewhurst, a Grade 6 student at Gore Hill Public School, was the winner of a Water Safety Month poster contest sponsored by the Great Lakes Water Safety Consortium. Her entire class will be treated to a pizza party and her classmates will each receive an exclusive t-shirt featuring Lauryn’s winning design.

Sharks host Spring Camp

By Bryan Jessop

Although millions of televisions are still tuning in to playoff hockey, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks are among the junior squads already looking ahead to 2019-’20.

The Sharks held their annual Spring Camp at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex’s Unico Arena Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28, where coaches and management caught a glimpse of some potential rookies to fill roster spots. The two-day event was again arranged by dividing about 55 players into four squads that each played one game on Saturday and another on Sunday.

While a handful were veterans including Mason Gow, Alixe Saliba, Dawson Iles, Ernie Godden and Braedon Caetano, most were local midget players looking to take on their first seasons of junior hockey.

“It was a good camp with a lot of surprises and good, competitive games,” noted Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale. “It was exciting to watch.”

Carnevale described the field of camp entries as a mix of promising local players as well as other potential Sharks from Windsor and Belle River areas. Junior (Continued on page A-22)

Members of the 18-hole ladies league at the Kingsville Golf and Country Club were in lively spirits as they convened for their breakfast meeting on Tuesday, April 30. To encourage some fun competition, members sat in smaller groups according to the proposed teams and were able to choose the various representative colours. Special thanks to social convenors Joanne Rowlandson and Lucille Kraus, dining room supervisor Marla Funkenhauser-Wiper who planned the menu and chef Lori Dupuis who prepared the delicious meal, capably served by Kelly Gee. This year the league has 35 members. Golf operations manager Adam Charles and assistant pro Thomas Butcher were on hand to welcome everyone. There are five new or returning members: Christine Clark, Sandy Hernandez, Jane Webber, Patti Shackleton and Maureen Nefs.

The executive is as follows: President Kathy Soulliere, Vice-President Patty Marcus, Past President Fran Wasyliniuk, Captain Cindy Fields, Co-Captains Jean Page and Cindy Morel, Secretary Becky Glidden, Treasurer Jackie Lively. “Classic” Convenors are Patty Marcus and Wali Forster.

Vice-President Patty informed the group of an exciting new event on July 16 called Kingsville 18 Hole Ladies’ Sip and Swing Fun Day. More information to follow.

The league can anticipate 21 weeks of golf camaraderie and competition, and hopefully some steamy Essex County summer weather.

Sharks host Spring Camp (Continued from page A-21) teams are not able to officially sign players until cards are distributed on June 1, but the Sharks are focusing on adding a number of participants from the Spring Camp, most of whom played last year with A, AA or AAA midget teams. Wheatley’s coaching staff will soon meet to begin planning details for early September’s main camp, where an estimated 50 players — including goalies — are expected to attend.

All Sharks from the 2018-’19 squad are eligible to play for next season’s team except the four graduating-age play“It was a good ers — forwards Delaney MacDonald, Parker Boyle and Cole camp with a lot of Butler and defenseman Mitch Lantin. Eligible overagers for surprises and good, next season include forwards Ernie Godden, Alixe Saliba competitive games.” and Eric Prudence and blueliner Matt Taylor. The likes of — Josh Braydon Davis, Evan Prince and Dawson Iles are probable Carnevale returns for the upcoming season while the future of other players as Sharks — including starting goalie Catalin Morin — will remain unknown until education and/or employment commitments are decided.

Last season’s 16-year-old points leader Braedon Caetano, a Leamington resident, is expected to sign on with an OHL, QMJHL, Tier II Junior A or Junior B team for 2019-’20.

On the bench, Carnevale will be joined by Ian Faubert returning as an assistant coach, along with Adam Hatt and newcomer Paul Gossmann, a local coach who will look after the Sharks’ defense. Brett Oliphant is also likely to return in a yet to be determined role.

The process of recruiting new players won’t be subject to new competition that was considered possible earlier in the offseason, as the Ontario Hockey Association has rejected a proposal from the Wallaceburg Lakers to relocate to Tilbury.

“They’d have been looking for a lot of the same players we’re trying to attract,” Sharks general manager Thomas Grubb said of what was until recently the possibility of having a team relocate to a much closer community. “For some of those players, it would have been a shorter driver to Tilbury.”

Pets of the Week

FREUD

ESTELLE

2 years old, Maltese mix - Freud is a timid guy who warms up to women, but is not so keen on men. WECHS is happy to help potential adopters work on this. He loves walks, meeting other dogs and cats and cuddling.

5 years - Estelle will curl up into any available box and will likely squeeze herself into whatever is handy regardless of its size.

She loves a good snuggle session! Just don’t plan on picking her up because she has very strong opinions about this and won’t hesitate to share them with you. Estelle will likely do best in a home without very young children.

Wet weather spoils golf opener

By Bob McLean

The outside workers at Talbot Trail Golf Club have the course in magnificent condition. However, the extreme wet, windy and cool conditions prevented many eager golfers from playing.

Mother Nature needs to bring some drier, warmer weather.

On Tuesday, April 30, twenty-five seniors ventured to the TTGC to register. Of these gentlemen, about 13 or so (walking with pull carts) played their 9 holes. Fuzzy said he managed to shoot an amazing 42. That’s a really terrific score considering the wet fairways.

KINGSVILLE – Improved internet service was once again on the agenda for Kingsville Council.

The town was notified in March that it would receive a special one-time funding of over $620,000 – funding to support small and rural municipalities in their efforts to become more efficient and to help reduce expenditure growth in the long term.

The funding is intended to help modernize service delivery and reduce future cost through investments in projects such as service delivery reviews, development of shared services agreements and capital investments.

After much discussion with staff, Town of Kingsville CAO Peggy Van Mierlo-West recommended looking into the cost of providing improved internet connectivity between townowned facilities.

Town hall, the arena and the fire department are currently connected through aerial towers, which Van Mierlo-West said is not ideal and doesn’t provide optimal service capabilities when it comes to downloading material and storage file sharing.

She recommended they look into providing underground high-speed internet between the facilities, which would bring the town one step closer to providing such service throughout the businesses and residences in town.

Councillor Kimberly DeYong also recommended staff seek a cost for providing Wi-Fi service in the downtown core.

Van Mierlo-West said they can look into that once they see the results of the request for proposals (RFP).

Deputy-Mayor Gord Queen said he sees it as a great stepping-stone to improving internet locally and helping draw new businesses to the area.

The motion passed 6-1.

First Ride of Silence planned for Kingsville

By Sheila McBrayne

KINGSVILLE – Kingsville will join the worldwide Ride of Silence on Wednesday, May 15.

Riders are asked to meet for the 7 p.m. ride leaving from the Banded Goose B r e w e r y (Pearl Street entrance). The free 13-kilometre slow ride through Kingsville honours those injured or killed on public roadways.

The Kingsville Ride of Silence is being coordinated by the newly-formed Banded Goose Cycle Club (BgBCC), Share the Road Essex County and Movati Athletic.

This is the first year for the ride in Kingsville. A Ride

of Silence was held in Leamington in previous years. The Kingsville ride is registered on the official site at www. rideofsilence.org “The cool thing is that the Ride of Silence will occur at the same time around the world, at 7 p.m. (local time) on May 15, in 20 countries, including nine Canadian provinces and 49 USA states, all starting after the Ride of Silence prayer is read,” stated Charles Morgan, BgBCC member.

The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways.

Banded Goose Cycle Club In its first year, the Banded Goose Cycle Club is small, but starting to grow.

“We have a competitive level of riding, but we are most interested in getting people to join us for recreational cycling and having fun, and let them decide how much they want to ride,” stated BgBCC member Charles Morgan.

In an attempt to get people interested, BgBCC will be

having a series of ‘Slow Rolls’, which, as the name suggests, are slower moving fun rides around town once a month and will have different themes. The club also has weekly scheduled road rides and trail/gravel rides for members. The other slow rolls are open to anyone.

Riders may or may not have to sign a liability waiver because they are sanctioned by BgBCC. If participants enjoy themselves, they can join the club if they want to.

More information about the cycle club can be found at bandedgoosebikeclub.com BgBCC’s first slow roll will be the Ride of Silence.

This will be a solemn, slow and absolutely silent 15 km ride, 10-12 km/hr speed, entirely inside the town limits of Kingsville.

“We are honouring those cyclists who have been injured or killed by motorists while cycling. It will be something similar to a traditional Irish wake – the ride is almost like a ‘funeral march’ if you will, and then we will come back to the Banded Goose Taproom to celebrate life and camaraderie,” stated Morgan.

“Maybe a day will come when we won’t see the ‘ghost bikes’ memorials along the roadsides any longer,” added Morgan.

The Cougars won 5-0 on two goals by Jaclyn Moore and singles from Brianna Zakaria, Kylie Murracas and Kayla Gualtieri. Kylie Cioci earned the shutout in the win, bringing Cardinal Carter’s record to three wins, one loss and three draws. The Lions remained winless at 0-7-0. In the second half of the WECSSAA soccer double header, the Cardinal Carter and LDSS boys went head-to-head for what wrapped up as a 6-1 win for the Cougars. Tommy Saba and Connor Bernardes scored two apiece while Carlos DaGloria and Matthew Carvalho added single goals for Cardinal Carter, improving their record to six wins, zero losses and one draw in the 2A County division. Subhi Al-Dallal scored the lone goal for Leamington, who fell to zero wins, six losses and one tie.

WAPS hosts annual Carnival

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – Nearly two decades into a popular event, Wheatley Area Public School continues to put the ‘fun’ in fundraising.

The school’s annual Carnival was presented on the rink’s surface of Wheatley Area Arena, where students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 — along with their families — converged to enjoy a series of games, activities, raffles, treats, snacks and beverages. This year’s event took place Thursday, May 2 and was again planned and prepared by the WAPS Home and School Association.

This year’s carnival marks the 19th installment since its inception. In recent years, proceeds have totaled roughly $3,000 to help the school offset costs of programs and special events as well as new gymnasium equipment, classroom technology and supplies, field trips, ice rentals at Wheatley Area Arena, new outdoor benches on school property and special fitness-inspired events.

“A lot of the support comes from business sponsorships around town,” explained Home and School Association chairperson Jamie Martineau. “They really help us out a lot — we couldn’t do it without them.”

Similar to recent years, about 150 youths made their way through this year’s WAPS Carnival — roughly the same as the school’s student population. Although not all students from all grades attend each year’s carnival, many attendees bring along family members including siblings who will soon be welcomed to WAPS as Junior Kindergarten students.

This year’s carnival featured traditional games and at-

tractions including the bouncy castle and inflatable obstacle course/slide, bean bag toss, darts throw, toy car race and fishing game. Appetites were addressed by a baked goods sale with items donated by WAPS staff, parents and grandparents and a snack bar manned by volunteer students — both Grade 8s from Wheatley Area Public School and alumni current attending nearby Leamington District Secondary School. The newest attractions were a Virtual Hockey station operated by players with the Junior C Wheatley Omstead Sharks and a Grain Farmers of Ontario display. Firefighters with the Wheatley station of the Chatham-Kent Fire Department were also present until called to an emergency situation early that evening.

The two-and-a-half hour event also offered free tickets for students into a draw for one of four new bicycles. The bikes were purchased/sponsored by RBC, WAPS staff, Pannunzio Mechanical and Bannockburn Technologies. Martineau noted that several area businesses donate money and door prizes after letters are sent out requesting any available support about six weeks prior to the carnival.

In its early years, the carnival took place outdoors on WAPS grounds. After a string of events being dampened by inclement weather, the fundraiser relocated the short westward distance to Wheatley Area Arena. Home and School members and volunteers plan the occasion about two months in advance and on the day of, take roughly three hours to set up and one hour to tear down.

“It all runs pretty smoothly,” Martineau explained. “There have been some great heads of Home and School over the years who’ve passed their knowledge over to us.”

Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport experiences Leamington LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington welcomed the Honourable Michael Tibollo, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, to the community on Saturday, May 4.

Minister Tibollo, along with Leamington’s Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Chief Administrative Officer Peter Neufeld and members of the municipality’s Economic Development and Tourism department toured Leamington while taking inventory of the town’s successful tourism strategy.

The group visited the municipality’s recent culture and tourism-related infrastructure assets, including cycling lanes along County Road 20, the Pedestrian Pier, Seacliff Park amphitheatre and Seacliff beach volleyball courts. The group also viewed the renovation projects at Leamington Library and The Bank Theatre, while discussing the municipality’s plans for reinvention of Leamington’s Uptown and the Waterfront Destination Development Plan which is on schedule for 2019.

Following the tour, the Minister participated in a tourism experience hosted by Bradt’s Butcher Block and Cured Craft Brewery, along with partners WindsorEats, Outback Woodcraft and The Bank Theatre.

The experience highlighted how businesses can work together to tell a story of a community while offering high-yield, intimate experiences to travellers. Experiential tourism is a strong trend in destination development and a key point of interest in the province’s tourism strategy, currently in its development stage.

“Leamington is one of Ontario’s up-and-coming tourist destinations,” said Minister Tibollo. “Through their tourism strategy, the Municipality of Leamington is positioning itself to contribute to Ontario’s growth in tourism. I commend the hard work of Mayor MacDonald, Chief Administrative Officer Peter Neufeld and the Municipality’s Economic Development and Tourism Department to make tourism grow and thrive in Canada’s Sun Parlour.”

“The Municipality is proud of the work it is doing to put Leamington on the map as a top-of-mind tourism destination,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “We are thrilled to

have the opportunity to showcase our tourism assets and experiences after only one year into our tourism strategy. This is a great example of how successful a community can be when it has the support of its municipal officials, businesses and residents.”

Proud to own a Packard In 1898, James Ward Packard of Warren, Ohio, purchased a new Winton automobile from Alexander Winton in Cleveland. When Mr. Packard began driving it home, he discovered several things wrong with it. He took it back to the factory and told Mr. Winton what he thought of the car, to which Mr. Winton reportedly replied: “If you’re so smart, Mr. Packard, why don’t you build your own Bill Sherk car?”

And that’s exactly what Mr. Packard did, finishing his first car in November of 1899. It was a one-cylinder car with automatic ignition advance. He soon began building high quality cars for other people and moved the factory in 1903 to Detroit, which was quickly becoming a motor city.

The Packard name was proudly displayed on cars for 58 years, outlasting the Winton by several decades. During many years in the 1920s and ’30s, Packard outsold Cadillac.

Ray Laliberte of Kingsville is the proud owner of a 1954 Packard Patrician four-door sedan acquired three years ago

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

Ray Laliberte with his beautiful two-tone 1954 Packard Patrician.

in a trade for his 1948 Chevrolet pickup.

Ray tells us “the car originally came from Ottawa and has a Canadian Flag on the passenger side. I am the fourth owner of this wonderful car. It has a 359 cubic inch straight eight-cylinder engine with power brakes and power steering.

“It has been a dream of mine to own one of the greatest cars ever built. Only 2,700 cars of this type were ever built and I was told only 60 are still driven today. It is completely original and drives so smooth on Kingsville roads.”

Three straight eight engines were available with Packard in 1954: the 288, the 327 and the 359, based on cubic inches. Ray’s Packard has the largest engine of the three and rides on a wheelbase of 127 inches, a full five inches longer than the wheelbase on less expensive Packards, and contributing to a very smooth ride.

Ray is planning to bring his Packard Patrician to the first car show of the new season at the Kingsville District High School on Friday, May 17. If you see Ray there with his Packard, be sure to say hello.

Top 4 home improvement trends for 2019 (NC) Planning a renovation this summer? Check out the top trends in design, products, and techniques for transforming your home.

Kitchens and bathrooms

If you’re looking to make a big change this year, a kitchen or bathroom renovation is the way to go. These two rooms continue to top lists as the most popular remodeling projects, especially if you’re looking to sell your home as they typically provide the highest return on investment and add significant value in the eyes of potential buyers.

Florals

Floral-print furniture is a popular way to incorporate this trend in your home.

A bold patterned chair or sofa is a great option and really pops when paired with a solid wall colour to keep the space grounded. Or, try a fun wallpaper in a floral pattern in the bedroom or bathroom.

Double islands

Aerating Dethatching Over Seeding and More

20 Years of Professional Lawn Care

When you’re graced with a large open kitchen space, go big with double islands.

This custom feature can do a whole lot more than offer extra prep space. With plenty of room for storage, you’ll be able to conceal appliances like the dishwasher and microwave, freeing up even more counter space.

Home offices

Working from home is more popular as the number of people who work freelance or remotely continues to grow. A stylish home office can be a great way to keep your independent work space separate from the rest of your home living area. For a productive home working environment, include functional pieces like custom built-in shelves, a comfortable chair and great lighting.

5 tips for cooking the perfect, juicy hamburger (NC) Warm weather weekends are all about grilling on the barbecue. Whether you’re having guests over at the cottage or simply cooking a delicious meal in your backyard, use these tips for the tastiest hamburger patties that rival those of any restaurant.

1. Safety first You don’t want to risk food poisoning, and raw beef can be contaminated with bacteria, such as E. coli. So, keep your raw meat cold and don’t leave it sitting in the car after a shopping trip or on a counter when you get home.

Refrigerate or freeze it as quickly as possible. Place the beef in a clean container or a plastic bag that will hold any leaking juices.

3. Make a thumbprint After forming a thin patty, use your thumb to make a deep groove in the centre – this will prevent it from puffing up in the middle and help it cook evenly.

2. Use fresh beef For the juiciest burgers, use freshly bought beef no more than one to two days after buying it.

Freeze any meat you don’t intend to cook within this time. The safest way to thaw beef is in the fridge— never at room temperature.

4. Flip once This step is crucial – flip too early and the burger will fall apart; flip too late and the outside will get charred; flip too many times and you’ll lose juices and flavour. Wait for a crust to form on the grill-side down before flipping.

5. Use a digital thermometer You can’t tell if meat is done and safe to eat by looking at the colour alone. Insert a food thermometer through the side of the patty and keep cooking until the internal temperature is 71°C (160°F).

Fresh trends and tips for spring gardening (NC) Rising temperatures mean your garden is ready to be replenished and renewed for the season ahead. Here are four essential gardening tips to get your greenery looking fresh and ready: 1. Organize and clean out your garden: Get rid of any dead plants that will not rebloom in order to make space for new ones to grow.

2. Replace the soil: It’s important to replace the soil in your garden before planting new plants, especially after long and harsh winters. Replacing old soil with new soil provides your plants with all the nutrients they need to grow.

4. Apply mulch: An easy and functional way to make your garden look great is to apply a fresh layer of mulch, which can include wood chips, straw and finished compost. Applying mulch helps your garden retain moisture in the soil; it slowly breaks down over time, contributing to soil health.

3. Choose pet-friendly plants: You can still have a beautiful garden even if you have a pet, just be sure to include ones that are safe as specific plants can be toxic and very dangerous for pets. Some of these include daffodils, mistletoe, poinsettia, tulips and lilies. Different plants are poisonous for different pets, so be sure to do your research.

Choosing a paint finish to suit your lifestyle (NC) From dramatic to subtle, paint is a simple way to transform your space without breaking the bank. When choosing a wall colour, it’s important to also select a finish that matches your lifestyle and design tastes.

Flat/matte With a low-lustre finish, flat and matte finishes will give your space a highend feel straight from a home décor magazine. It is

also an excellent choice for hiding imperfections in low-to moderate-traffic areas. If you’re looking to paint your bedroom, living room or ceiling, a flat or matte finish is the way to go.

Eggshell With a soft and velvety appearance, this versatile sheen can be used in almost any room in your home. Eggshell paint is easy to clean and is ideal for kids’ bedrooms, hallways and family rooms.

Semi-gloss Perfect for high-moisture ar-

eas, this durable finish provides a radiant sheen. With a variety of uses, semi-gloss paint is most commonly used on trim, cabinets and moulding, as well as in kitchens and bathrooms.

High-gloss To create a glass-like finish on trim, moulding, cabinets and doors, consider a highgloss finish. It is durable and a great choice to transform old furniture into statement pieces.

Satin If you’re after a pearl-like sheen, satin is the finish for you.

Satin options are durable and achieve a high-end look that’s perfect for doors and trim.

With stain-and fingerprint-

resistant qualities, this sheen is also great for high-moisture areas like washrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens.

Spring home maintenance checklist

(NC) Once the weather warms up, you’re probably ready to jump into action with your gardening and décor, but don’t forget about the seasonal maintenance on your home.

Follow this spring maintenance checklist to make sure your home stays in optimal condition:

Come & see us for all your storage needs.

1968 Setterington Drive, Kingsville • 519-322-5171

Clear your eavestroughs and gutters of debris. Sticks and leaves that accumulate during fall and winter can potentially cause blockages.

Extend the downspouts so water is pointed away from your home. Flowing water around the foundation can eventually seep into the basement.

Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps have made it through the winter in good condition and are properly sealed.

Inspect your attic, basement and crawl spaces for any leaks or moisture.

Identify any musty odours, as they are often an indicator that there could be a hidden moisture issue.

Fix any caulking and weather-stripping around windows and doors and on the roof if it becomes cracked or separated.

Clean or replace your furnace filter, check air ducts, remove covers and vacuum dust from the vents.

Clean the heat recovery ventilator (HRV) and wash or change the filter.

Clean your humidifier and check for condensation and proper humidity levels indoors.

SOUTHPOINT SUN –

How to compost at home Many homeowners spend substantial amounts of time and money tending to their lawns. A lush lawn can be a point of pride for homeowners, and well-maintained landscapes also have a positive effect on property value.

Homeowners who want to take care of their lawns and gardens in an ecofriendly way may want to consider composting. It is estimated that food scraps and lawn waste make up about 20 to 30 percent of what we throw away each year. Composting such waste can enrich the soil in homeowners’ yards while also reducing the size of local landfills, where food scraps and lawn waste contribute to the production of methane, a potent and harmful greenhouse gas.

Composting is relatively simple and serves as a cost-effective way to enrich soil and suppress plant diseases and pest infestations. Homeowners who want to try their hand at composting should consider the following: • Purchase the right tools Composting is not expensive, but you will need a few tools to help maintain your compost pile. A pitchfork or square-point shovel will be necessary so you can periodically mix or turn the

compost. In addition, a water hose with a spray head can help maintain the pile.

• Choose the right spot A compost pile or bin should be placed in a shady area close to a water source.

Shade will help ensure the pile does not dry out too quickly. Build the pile over lawn or soil instead of over surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

• Add materials as you collect them Composting requires three basic ingredients: water, brown materials and green materials.

Brown materials include dead branches, leaves and twigs, while greens include grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds. Chop larger materials as necessary, adding both brown and green materials as you collect them and watering dry materials as necessary.

• Bury fruit and vegetable waste When adding fruit and vegetable waste, bury it beneath 10 inches of compost material. You can do this by mixing your pile with your pitchfork or shovel.

Compost may take as little as two months or as long as two years before it’s usable. When you see the materials are dark and rich in color, they’re ready to be spread.

3 ways to make your home’s exterior pop for spring (NC) Spring means most of us will be spending more time enjoying the outdoors. This serves as a great opportunity to invest time and energy into sprucing up your home’s exterior and outdoor living areas.

Here are some tips on how to add curb appeal to your home’s exterior while increasing the overall value of your home.

Repaint your front and garage doors Repainting your exterior doors is a great way to freshen up the outside of your home. Adding a statement colour is even more uplifting.

Update exterior home accessories The outside of your home is the first thing people see when they come to visit. That’s why it’s key to make sure your exterior hardware and lighting look fresh. A brand-new door handle, mailbox and light fixture

will complement your fresh coat of paint and make your home feel brand new again.

Create an inviting entryway with florals and potted plants Nothing says welcome like a well-maintained

arrangement of potted plants and seasonal florals. To ensure guests have an impactful first impression, coordinate your pots, containers and plant materials with the style of your façade.

CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS “

Recently I moved into my new house, not just a house but a home, a home I take pride in. Many painstaking hours were spent trying to achieve satisfaction inside & out. After a lengthy search for what I hoped would be the correct exterior choices I finally made some decisions. Knowing how particular I was, may contractor picked the correct people to do the job. Tom and his group at T-Murr did a fantastic job! Not only was the workmanship first class, but Tom was extremely flexible with all my special requests.

The guys even went the extra mile to repair & correct some previous work that was done prior to their arrival. Rarely am I satisfied with anything, the completed job is all I asked for & more. Thanks again T-Murr. ~ Terry ~
