The crowd cheers on John Carron, John Manso and Leo Soudant during Relay for Life Friday at the Chatham-Kent Community Athletic Complex. The three men led the cancer survivors for the emotional first lap of the event. The Relay raised $187,000 to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and help those who are facing cancer.

Chatham Relay rakes in $187K

“From our amazing committee members to the folks who manned the information tent and various activities through the wee hours of the night, they are incredible.”

Collette Johanson, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, was taking part in her first Re-

lay.

Just minutes before taking to the track, the 43-year-old Chatham woman felt empowered by the event.

“It’s all about being accepted and welcomed into a community,” said Johanson, pausing as her voice broke with emotion during the short interview.

But she continued as her

family and friends cheered her on.

In a small way, the moment embodied the relay’s spirit.

“I’m happy to have my friends and family with me and I’m looking forward to doing this again next year,” said Johanson, a member of the Gals and Pals team.

Emotional night at Relay

He paid tribute to Sophia Vlasman, a 16year old Chatham girl who lost her fight with cancer on June 6.

“She has indeed been an inspiration for us all, and has caused us to re-evaluate many aspects of our lives, to learn to live in the moment, and to love and appreciate each other and the precious time we have together,” said Poole.

Pointing to the 100 people who were wearing the yellow “survivor” T-shirts, he said the group is a testament to the fact that cancer can be beaten.

Shortly after agreeing to sponsor the event for a second year, the company learned that Chris Stanford, a maintenance manager, was facing esophageal cancer.

“His news hit home to me and to our whole company. The support that poured in for Chris and for the relay has been tremendous,” said Amato.

The GreenField team raised more than $20,000, which was $8,000 more than last year.

She also noted that another, employee Diane Bruette, who won her battle with cancer three years ago, was walking with the team.

Rooming house shut down

By Blair Andrews Contributing Writer

As city officials work with the owner to repair a run-down rooming house in Chatham, a neighbour isn’t convinced his troubles are over.

Al Fournier has lived next door to the eight-unit building at 47 Victoria Ave. since 1985.

“I could tell you stories that would pop your eyes out,” said Fournier. “Everything was going on there, drugs in and out.

We found syringes in our backyard … my grandkids come here and play.”

The property is now boarded up and the tenants have been relocated after members of the police, fire service, the city’s building department, the Technical Safety and Standards Authority and the Ontario Electrical Safety Authority inspected the property on June 6.

Several infractions were found that prompted the authorities to disconnect the electricity and gas.

Chatham-Kent chief building official Paul Lacina issued orders to remedy an unsafe building and to prohibit occupancy of an unsafe building.

“Smoke alarms weren’t there, the sprinkler system wasn’t up to code,” said Lacina, describing the various problems.

“They didn’t maintain the fire separations, improper venting of the natural gas. The appliances for natural gas were missing parts and were a safety issue. There were numerous electrical issues.”

He said six of the eight units that were occupied at the time were in a deplorable condition.

Lacina noted that one occupant was heating a unit with the burners of a gas

stove.

In addition, the sanitary facilities, including the toilet and the shower, didn’t work.

“How anyone would be expected to live in that environment or actually be paying a fee to the landlord to live in this environment? And that the landlord would accept the money and provide this environment?” he said, in reference to the condi-

tions.

Lacina, along with building and fire inspectors, met with the owner at the property to go over the requirements.

Among other things, he’ll have to apply for building permits for the repairs and have the work inspected and approved before the occupants are allowed to return.

“My understanding is he is seeking to get his ten-

ants back,” said Lacina.

Fournier is not looking forward to that prospect.

“I’m just fed up. I really don’t want to have anything to do with it anymore,” he said, noting that he has tried to sell his house since February.

“Everybody has said the same thing: ‘We would give you an offer… only for next door,’” said Fournier.

Chatham-Kent police

have been called to 47 Victoria Ave. almost 60 times in the last two years.

Const. Renee Cowell said there were several reasons for the calls, including drug offences, assaults, domestic disputes, disturbing the peace and trouble with youth.

According to Cowell, the combination of calls sparked the inspection on June 6.

“We all came to the table and realized for the benefit of the community we need to come together and do something in regards to this specific address.”

Thank You

“I would like to say a heartfelt thank you, to all of those who contributed and supported the Rick Nicholls Campaign 2014.

My motto will remain as “Accessible and Accountable,” and I promise to continue serving the great riding and people of Chatham-Kent-Essex.”

election, as Rick Nicholls and Monte McNaughton, both Progressive Conservatives, held onto to their seats at Queen’s Park.

But this time around, while they will sit again as members of the opposition, they face a Liberal majority government.

Kathleen Wynne’s party took 59 ridings, needing only 54 for a majority. In 2011, the Liberals captured 53 seats.

Nicholls proudly strolled into his campaign office shortly after 10 p.m.

Thursday night, greeted by loud applause from a large crowd of supporters.

“It’s an exciting night for Chatham-Kent Essex,” he told the crowd, referring to his riding. “We did it again. It was a total team effort.”

But in an election some political pundits called the Conservatives’ to lose, too few Conservatives did

what Nicholls, and McNaughton to the north in Lambton-Kent Middlesex, did – win their seats.

Nicholls stood by provincial PC leader Tim Hudak and his campaign to focus on jobs – claiming he had a plan to create a million jobs, while at the same time pledging to cut 100,000 civil service positions.

“Tim is still my leader. He has served us well,” Nicholls said, about an hour before Hudak announced he’d step down as head of the provincial Conservatives. Nicholls blamed labour-sponsored attack ads for undercutting the provincial Conservative platform.

Nicholls defended the party plan to opt for a jobs-oriented campaign, rather than point at all the wrongdoings and scandals of the Liberals.

He said his return to the opposition benches facing a majority government doesn’t mean the needs of Chatham-Kent will be

“In the last two-and-ahalf years, I’ve shown my ability to work along with a number of cabinet ministers,” he said. “We still have hot issues here: the wind turbines and the municipal airport, and securing tenure for the Rondeau Cottagers’ Associa-

tion.”

Provincially, he said the rising cost of energy must be reined in to lure industry back to Ontario.

“By Jan. 1, 2014, energy costs will have gone up 42%,” Nicholls said of the price of electricity in the province under Liberal governments.

In Wynne we trust?

For political shock value, it will be difficult to top the Liberals’ stunning provincial victory last week.

It was almost universally expected Ontarians would elect a minority government; the only question would be the parties’ pecking order.

As we said when the writ was dropped “this election is Tim Hudak’s to lose, but as we’ve seen before he’s fully capable of that.”

We believed it then and still do.

Hudak did the right thing in resigning, but if the Tories expect to regain power (or even be a force) in four years, they need to remove what passes for their political brain trust.

Political Science 101 is to control your own message, and the Hudakians couldn’t even manage that. They used questionable math and catch phrases in place of solid policy and seemed off-balance when questions arose.

They can whine all they like about attack ads (and they have) but if you step in what amounts to political dog-doo, you have to scrape it off your own shoe. The opposition isn’t about to help.

Ontarians by and large know we’re in a financial mess and were begging someone to come along and straighten it out.

Instead, they were confronted with the Regressive Conservatives.

We wanted the house cleaned up, not burned down.

Hudak’s message so scared voters that they chose to re-elect the very party responsible for getting us into this mess.

There’s no doubt Wynne certainly knows where the bodies are. She’s helped bury most of them.

So now, we get to find out what she’s really made of. Wynne no longer has the McGuinty legacy (or stain) on her. This is her show.

Is she part of the incompetent corruption-ridden government of the recent past or can she rise to the occasion?

The problems haven’t changed.

We still have a huge public service bureaucracy we can’t afford, we still have a broken arbitration system that feeds that problem, our utility rates are robbing us of jobs and investment, and our economic focus is fuzzy at best.

Welcome back, Ms. Wynne.

Opinion

Relay experience humbling What a weekend in Chatham-Kent for this guy!

Yeah, I’m talking about me. Being a bit selfish.

Relay For Life Chatham took place Friday and Saturday and it was incredible. With 19 fewer teams, participants managed to raise as much money as the event hauled in the previous year – $187,000!

I had the pleasure of chairing the event this year. People were coming up and congratulating me, but I can’t take much of the credit. I am very lucky, as this event is blessed from all angles.

From the incredible staff at the Chatham-Kent unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, to the experienced and energetic steering committee members, to the equally rambunctious corps of volunteers, to the hundreds of Relay participants, those are the people who did all the heavy lifting.

We had 51 teams raise the same amount of money as 70 teams did in 2013.

Our luminaries sold

Bruce Corcoran out, and the track was beautifully lined and illuminated by the 1,500plus candles placed in memory or honour of a loved one who battled or is battling cancer.

Our committee members had various duties to perform the day/night of the event. I was one of those people who got plugged in where needed.

Sure, I had the title as top dog, but the truth is these people knew more about their individual tasks than I knew about things, so if I could be of help setting up a tent for a bit here, putting out lawn chairs for one lucky VIP team there, helping organize the Fight Back booth, filling in at the Information Tent as needed, and play early morning MC (a

very weak version of the evening expert, George Brooks), then so be it.

It was the least I could do to help such great people.

The logistics folks are so laid back, and they are heavily armed with a cando attitude. This despite the fact they spend about 36 hours straight moving everyone else’s stuff around, from the tents and equipment of other committee members, to the coolers, chairs and tents of the participating teams; and fix everyone else’s problems.

I really respect what these people do and how quickly they can accomplish it, and always with a sense of humour.

They’ve been at the task for some time. There are other Relay veterans on the committee, and they are the grounding point for us rookies. But a lot of the rookies brought a great deal to the Relay table. Some came on with only a couple of months to get up to speed, and they exceeded all expecta-

tions. A number were also on Relay teams, so they were doing double duty, and doing it very well.

The entertainment was awesome. There were usually multiple things for participants to do all night long, from watch live music, to take part in games, such as scavenger hunts, to doing Zumba or getting a massage.

There was no shortage of food – all night long.

From dinner, to evening chili, to midnight pasta and pizza, and onto breakfast, no one went hungry.

Much of that was made possible thanks to donations from local businesses and local people. None of the bands charged us a penny. Most of the food was donated. Such giving of time and goods is amazing.

And people came up and thanked me? I’m just the conduit. I’ll send the thanks to everyone who made the event the success it was – the people I’ve mentioned above.

Peters named top C-K senior The Chatham Voice

Morpeth resident Dixie Peters was named 2014 Chatham-Kent Senior of the Year at the Chatham-Kent Senior Fair and Achievement Awards in Blenheim June 13.

June is Ontario Seniors’ Month and Chatham-Kent Mayor Randy Hope and municipal council took the opportunity to recognize and honour outstanding senior volunteers who have achieved significant goals and made outstanding contributions to the citizens of Chatham-Kent.

In 2009, Peters founded the Blenheim and Area Bereavement Support

Program (BABSP), which is also known as A Time To Mourn, according to a release. She started this program after another she volunteered for closed.

Knowing the extensive need for bereavement support, Peters was determined to continue her role supporting the bereaved on their grief journey. She volunteers at BABSP as executive director, working several days a week, with one part time employee and many volunteers, and continues her one-on-one and group work with those needing her help. This organization is incorporated, has charitable status, and a board of directors that is

composed of community members and former clients. There is no charge for any of its services.

The program exists on community support and on fundraising.

A Time to Mourn holds an annual candle lighting service every November, where around 150 former and current clients of the bereavement program honour their loved ones in a non-religious ceremony.

Peters starts with a 90-minute one-on-one session with individuals before they move on to the group workshop.

Individuals needing her help refer to Dixie as an angel.

trip started before I reach retirement age,” he said.

The trip is more than 600 kilometers and could be done in a single day with a car, but Wells estimates he won’t be back until July 11.

“We’re not taking a lot of the main highways and we will be making a lot of stops, so it’s going to take us longer.”

E-bike firms in Owen Sound and Lions Head, as well as E-Plus in Wallaceburg, are donating vehicles for the trip.

“Robert Browning (of E-Plus) has been great. He said if we have any problems, he would come out to wherever we are to service the scooter.”

Don will be staying in campgrounds along the way and all but two of them have donated a space for the night. He will be accompanied by a

van that will hold camping supplies and food for the trip.

Don has been a fixture at No Frills and Canadian Tire in Wallaceburg for the past several weeks as he seeks donation to cover gas and supplies.

“Whatever we don’t use on the actual trip will be given to the Canadian Cancer Society,” he said.

‘They’ve given us donation envelopes to use along the route. I can’t thank No

Chairperson of the event, Coun. Karen Herman, said, “It is a wonderful annual event and everyone has a good time.

It was so touching to see Dixie Peters receive the Chatham-Kent Senior of the Year award. She has done so much to comfort

people over the years. It is fitting that she be recognized by our entire community for all her compassionate care.”

Frills and Canadian Tire enough for allowing us to sit at their stores.”

Don was a resident of Owen Sound for a number of years. Last year he raised several thousand dollars for an Owen Sound soup kitchen and homeless shelter as he took an electric scooter from that city to Ottawa in time for Canada Day. “I’m doing radio, television and newspaper interviews when I go up to

pick up the scooters,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of good memories of that area.”

Don had hoped to take an E-bike across Canada, but progression of the cancer has made that impossible.

“I just get too tired and I have to be at the hospital

in London regularly.”

The Toronto Dominion Bank is accepting donations for Don’s Journey.

Donations can be made through Branch 3792 to account 5206489.

Wells preps for Journey of Hope

By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com

As Don Wells prepares for his final Journey of Hope for Cancer, the Wallaceburg native feels overwhelmed by the amount of public support he has received.

“Almost everywhere I go, people are anxious to help in any way they can,” he said. “It’s a lot of work and I get really tired sometimes, but it makes me feel better knowing how many people care. The people in Wallaceburg and Walpole Island have been great.”

The 64 year old, who is suffering from Stage 4 prostate cancer, will embark from downtown Wallaceburg June 28 at 10 a.m. for a round trip from to Owen Sound on an electric scooter.

Exchange student addresses Rotary

By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com

At 16, leaving home to travel thousands of miles away to a foreign country is scary.

For Grade 10 Rotary International exchange student Musa Shaikh from India, the experience has been a great and definitely cold one.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Chatham, Musa was guest speaker at a recent Rotary luncheon, and talked about his travels since arriving here in December, 2013.

“It has been great fun.

I have enjoyed Canada very much,” he said during his presentation.

“When I came here, it was -5C – the coldest day of my life!”

An engaging, well-spoken young man, Musa also thanked his host family, Brett and Lynn Smith

of Chatham, for Musa was introduced to Robeing his Canatary at the age of dian family for six through his the past seven grandfather, who months. was president of Musa hails from his local at the the State of Gujatime. Spending rat in India, which time with him has a population and seeing what of more than 60 he was involved million people – Musa Shaikh in piqued Musa’s almost twice the population of Canada. His interest in Rotary and the hometown, Ankleshwar exchange program.

in the area, and heading to a Detroit Tigers game with his Rotary councillor Don (Sparky) Leonard, who presented him with a Tigers jersey with his own name and number 11 on the back.

Musa will be starting Grade 11 when he heads back to India in July, but said he hopes to come back to Canada after high school and become a neurosurgeon, a fact that lit up the face of Rotarian and Chatham-Kent Health Alliance physician recruiter Fannie Vavoulis.

For host parents, Brett and Lynn Smith, being able to bring youth from other countries into their home and incorporate them into their family has been a rewarding experience. After 29 years of involvement in the Scouts, Brett said when he became a Rotarian, it was a natural fit to work with

A fundraising weekend Continued from page 6

I have to single out one very special person, however, Rachel MacLeod of the Cancer Society. We worked closely together for months on Relay, and she was such a great guide.

Rachel has done this for many years, and remains energetic and positive during all the evening meetings, the quest to drum up new teams and sponsorships, and throughout her time at the event.

I’d have been lost without her to steer me along. Just an incredible person.

Killing me softly

So, how do you follow up Relay For Life? We did it by attending another cancer fundraiser Saturday night at Branch 28 Legion on St. Clair Street. It was a murder mystery dinner that raised funds for the Shopper’s Drug Mart Walk to End Women’s Cancers. I had the pleasure of having a bit part in the show, playing the fictitious owner of Chatham’s equally fictitious comedy club.

They killed me off shortly after my speech. Hmmm.

But the night was hilarious, as a comedy troupe from Toronto, brought here by Brandon Trainor, who attended UCC, entertained over dinner, while the local band Objective Unknown, with Daryn Trainor (yes, Brandon’s brother) on bass and lead vocals, played a set.

These university-aged guys had played in the Food Tent at Relay For Life at about 3:30 a.m. or so. It was another good night in Chatham.

Mulch ado about gardening

We spent Father’s Day doing what I wanted to do – putting mulch down in some of our gardens and

hanging out around the yard.

A trip to Bayside Brewery was also in the cards, and we lucked out. We pulled up and the place was hopping, so much so there was no parking. But one of the owners, Ken Royal, saw us and said one of the cars out front was leaving. We wound up with the best parking spot in the place!

And we had yet another great dinner out there, overlooking Rondeau Bay, while sampling a variety of their brews. Great end to a great weekend.

the youth in the exchange program.

“Sometimes it can be a difficult transition, adopting our culture to theirs and theirs to ours,” Brett said. “We treat them like our own children and you get to see your community through a separate pair of eyes.”

“I encourage people to consider it (hosting). You learn a lot about yourself

and none of the changes we have made were that hard,” Lynn explained.

“People who have teenagers would really enjoy this experience, because the teens really want to be involved with the family and other kids. Musa has a younger brother and sister the same age as my grandkids and they love climbing and rolling on him.”

Water Festival set to return Seventh annual event teaches students about importance of clean water

By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com

Much like the element it celebrates, the annual Children’s Water Festival is coming full circle this year.

Organizer Don Hector said this is the seventh

year for the three-day event, which shows area students the importance of water, how to respect it and conserve the most precious of resources.

“This year we have students who would have been in Grade 4 and 5 when we started that are

now helping out as volunteers,” he said. “It’s gratifying to see that the message is continuing.”

Hector said the event will surpass 10,000 elementary school students this year and will have 42 activity centres scattered around C.M. Wilson Con-

servation Area.

The event is managed by a committee with representatives from the Lower Thames and St. Clair Region conservation authorities, the Lambton-Kent District School Board, the Conseil scolaire Catholique Providence,

the Kent and Ontario federations of agriculture and the Chatham-Kent 4-H Club.

Hector said the event succeeds due to sponsorships from school boards and scores of private firms, as well as nearly 400 volunteers who help before and during the

event.

“We have generous sponsors and volunteers, but we’re always looking for those who want to help out in a very worthy cause,” he said.

For information on participating, call 226-8812453 or go to ckwaterfest. com.

Teaming up to extinguish the flames

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

The Chatham-Kent Fire Department (CKFD), with some help from local businesses, hopes to continue to cut the number of

house fires that occur in the municipality.

To that effect, the department has teamed up with various Canadian Tire stores in Chatham-Kent, as well as Battery Boy, to conduct the 2014 Safe

Homes Smoke Alarm program. The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of smoke alarms throughout the municipality, as well as hand out alarms, with batteries, to folks who need them.

Bruce Corcoran/The Chatham Voice

From left, Ken Stuebing, fire chief; Bob Davidson, assistant fire chief, Guy Deschenes (on truck), fire inspector; Peter Marshall, Canadian Tire Chatham; Doug Poulin, Canadian Tire Blenheim; Stan Pilecki, Canadian Tire Tilbury; and Paul and Kristie Card, Battery Boy, gathered June 12 to show their support from the 2014 Safe Homes Smoke Alarm Program.

SUMMER

Guy Deschenes, a fire inspector with the CKFD, said the program is the brainchild of assistant chief Bob Davidson. Firefighters will be knocking on doors in communities across the municipality to get the word out.

Canadian Tire stores are providing the smoke alarms, while Battery Boy is handling the batteries.

“Firefighters will go door to door to provide smoke alarms and batteries to people who can’t maintain them on their own,” Deschenes said.

He said the people receiving the alarms – and he anticipates as many as 200 could be given out this year – are folks who because of their age, or a handicap or for financial reasons are unable to afford or maintain the alarm in their home.

As well, during the home visits, Deschenes said firefighters will educate residents on the importance of having working smoke alarms in their homes.

They won’t be targeting new subdivisions, he added, as changes

to the building code require new houses to have smoke alarms wired into a home’s electrical system. Instead, they will focus on mature neighbourhoods.

“We’ll be maintaining

Road trip tips for summer drivers

(Most Cars)

Spending time outdoors when the weather warms up is a popular pastime for many people each summer.

A road trip is a great way to get outdoors and make the most of a warm day, but there Tire are a few tricks of the trade drivers can employ to ensure their Repairs road trips are as enjoyable as possible. $10 Give your car a good wash. Drivers who live in areas with heavy snowfall should give their vehicles a thorough cleaning before hitting the road for a summer road trip. Salt and sand can build up on a vehicle over the course of a snowy winter, so a power washing will help remove excess salt, sand or dirt and help the car run more smoothly.

Get the vehicle a tune-up. A tune-up, including an oil change, should be part of your pre-trip planning.

Walk a Mile hopes to ramp up fundraising

By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com

Preparations are under way for the sixth annual Walk A Mile in Her Shoes fundraising event in support of the Chatham-Kent Women’s Centre.

Desiree Swance, event co-ordinator, said the Sept.

14 event will begin at the Downtown Chatham Centre. Last year’s event attracted 150 walkers and raised $22,000.

Women’s Centre Executive Director Hal Bushey said the event has raised in excess of $100,000 and is an important part of the centre’s financial operation.

“We must raise $105,000 this year in order to make up for the shortfall in government funding,” he said.

“We haven’t had an increase in a number of years.”

The centre received 951 crisis calls last year and served 1,500 women, nearly 700 children and six men.

Bushey said this year’s Walk A Mile event will feature entertainment and a photo booth for the crowds

Jordan Durston powers through the defence in Junior A lacrosse.

Wallaceburg duo double teams it

By Ian Kennedy cksn.ca

PAGE 13

According to Jamie Knight, who is the head coach of the Red Devils this season, and has been coaching the duo in some capacity since 2003 in Wallaceburg’s Minor Lacrosse system, both Durston and Shepley are well equipped for the next level, and have been improving every game.

“They both love lacrosse and always have.

They play with passion every game, but more importantly every practice,” said Knight about the work both players have put in to reach this level of success.

“They are both ready to play A and be key factors for the Arrows in their drive to win the Minto Cup,” added Knight. “It would be a dream come true for both of them but for me as well. I have watched them evolve into phenomenal players and young men. As a coach I couldn’t be prouder.”

Without the support of one another however, the duo feels they wouldn’t be where they are today.

“Being with Joel at this time in my life and being able to play every lacrosse game possible with him this season has been awesome,” said Durston.

Winning doesn’t come easy; at least for most athletes. For Wallaceburg’s Jordan Durston and Joel Shepley, however, they’ve been on the winning side of most lacrosse games they’ve played this season, with two different teams.

Durston the reigning Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League offensive MVP, and Shepley the reigning defensive MVP, are leading both the Junior B Wallaceburg Red Devils, and the Junior A Six Nations Arrows, simultaneously to excellent seasons.

Although winning at two levels might seem simple, it has presented several challenges to these athletes.

“Pulling double duty has been tough so far but it’s all well worth it,” said Durston, who is among the league scoring leaders at both the Junior A and Junior B level, racking up on average six points per game. “I find being on the road a lot challenging.”

With the challenges come rewards, as both teams will be contenders for a title this year, and both Shepley and Durston are Charles and Teena Stirling developing their game at each level.
