A head and neck above
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
In March of 2012, Kathy Poirier received the grim news by her doctor. She had cancer. And not just any form of cancer, but a very rare strain of the disease – adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).
There’s no cure. But that doesn’t mean Poirier, 45 doesn’t have hope. If she’d been diagnosed with ACC 10-15 years ago, she’d have likely been dead by now. Instead, the mother of four and grandmother of three underwent extensive surgery in London and has an extended
lease on life. The surgery involved a laryngectomy – she had her vocal chords removed – a thydroidectomy and an esophageal rebuild. To call it invasive would be an understatement. While the surgeries and radiation treatments got the worst of the cancer,
it’s not gone. “I still have cancer. I will always have cancer,” she said through a special voice box. “There are 27 tumours in my lungs.” Husband Claude Poirier said ACC is a slow-growing type of cancer, however. “It does not go away. The best you can hope for
is a period of remission,” he said. Through it all, Poirier remains positive. She’s so thankful of her extension on life she wants to give back to the group responsible – Head & Neck Cancer Research at London Health Sciences Centre’s London Regional Cancer program. In

CK Flight Fest draws a crowd
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
As Charlie Wiebenga climbed out of a B-17 bomber that’s nearly nine times as old as he is, the eight-year-old lad couldn’t wipe a massive smile off his face. “It was awesome!” The shy lad got to ride in the nose of the plane, in the bombardier’s seat, and had the best view of anyone during take off. “Can I go again,” he asked his mother. Considering the remaining flights for the day were heavi-
ly booked, plus the $600 ticket price, Wiebenga didn’t get his wish. But what he did receive was a memory that will last a lifetime. So did many others attending Wednesday’s CK Flight Fest at the Chatham-Kent Airport. Hundreds showed up to see the Second World War bomber up close and check out the other aircraft on hand for the event. Ken McGrath travelled from Toronto to catch a glimpse of history. “I came all this way to see the

famous Yankee Lady,” he said. “My dad was in the air force and flew in a (B-24) Liberator squadron in Iceland.” Mark Dickerson had a day he won’t forget. He happens to be Wiebenga’s stepfather, and he too was airborne inside the venerable bomber. “Charlie and I both love history,” Dickerson said. “Charlie could probably teach World War 2 history.” Dickerson said takeoff was so loud that he was shouting at Wiebenga from mere feet away, but the boy couldn’t hear him. The entire experience was a thrill from start to finish, he added. To get to the front of the plane, Dickerson said they had to walk through the bomb bay. There is only a narrow walkway at that point, as the area was designed to hold bombs, not people. Bruce Davidson, chair of the committee responsible for bringing The Yankee Lady to Chatham-Kent, was amazed at the turnout. “This is a wonderful moment for me,” he said, while looking out over the hundreds of people on hand. “When you look and see how animated the people are, it’s hard not to do it again. But it will be hard to top a B-17 bomber.” In other words, the member 294 Chatham

Charlie Wiebenga, 8, is all smiles sitting in the nose of The Yankee Lady, a B-17 bomber that took local residents up for flights as part of CK Flight Fest.
Kinsmen Squadron Air Cadets sees Flight Fest as potentially becoming an annual fundraiser for the Air Cadets, given the large public turnout in the middle of the week. In the future, Davidson would like to see the show take place on the weekend, but that wasn’t possible this year if organizers wanted the B-17 on hand, as it’s booked for events most weekends from May to September. Wednesday also happened to be a birthday of sorts for The Yankee Lady, as on July 16, 1945, exactly 69 years earlier, the U.S. Air Force took delivery of the bomber, according to Grant Schwartz, one of the B-17 pilots on the day. It was produced too late to take part in the daring daylight bombing raids over Nazi Germany, so was instead used in coastal patrolling.

From there it went into private service as a crop sprayer and water bomber, before finally being purchased in 1986 by The Yankee Air Force Inc., which has its museum in Belleville, Mich. The group spent nine years restoring the bomber. In Chatham-Kent, the B-17 was a well-respected piece of flying history. Schwartz said conditions for the 30-minute flights were excellent. “It is nice and smooth, with excellent visibility,” he said. The clouds were a bit low, at 3,000 feet, Schwartz added, but not an issue, as the aircraft circled the Chatham area at 2,000 feet. “We had to stay within 25 miles of the airport.” Throughout the day, Flight Fest received nothing but praise from all angles. “This is an incredible turnout. The organizers have done an incredible job bringing the community out,” Schwartz said. “We are happy to be here.” McGrath said the municipality should puff out its chest over hosting Flight Fest. “I’m proud of Chatham-Kent to bring this in. It’s amazing.” Denis Schryer, of the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association from Windsor, flew to the Chatham-Kent Airport that morning to be part of the festivities. He described luring The Yankee Lady to Chatham-Kent as “excellent.”

Tropical illness strikes Chatham’s Emily Hime
By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com
A painful mosquito-borne viral illness most commonly associated with tropical climates is moving northward into the United States, and Chatham native Emily Hime says it’s as bad as advertised. Hime, who operates an orphanage in Haiti though her non-profit organization himeforhelp. com, contacted the disease chikungunya (chickun-gun-ya) just over two weeks ago. “I wouldn’t wish this virus upon my worst enemy,” Hime said. “It starts with fever and rash and then gets into your joints.
It honestly feels like your bones are being crushed and it has left me unable to walk at times.” Florida state authorities confirmed the first locally transmitted cases of the disease have been found. Prior to last week, U.S. cases were as a result of travellers contracting the disease while out of the country and returning home with it. Chikungunya is spiking in many areas of the Caribbean this year, and the United States has seen a corresponding increase from an average of 28 cases annually to nearly 250, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. “All of my friends in
Haiti have had it as well as 13 of my children and staff,” Hime said. “Our house has been full of tears and pain for the past few months. If it’s not one kid, it’s the other. Or it’s me. There is absolutely no treatment, the only thing you can do is take paracetamol and lie in bed and wait for the pain to pass. I think it may even be worse than malaria and dengue, both of which I’ve had.” Public health officials in the U.S. urge residents to take the same precaution they do with any other mosquito-borne disease. “We encourage everyone to take precautions against mosquitoes to prevent chikungun-
ya and other mosquito-borne diseases by draining standing water, covering your skin with clothing and repellent and covering doors and windows with screens,” said Dr. Anna Likos, Florida’s epidemiologist and disease-control and health-protection director. Although it isn’t fatal and often runs its course in a matter of days, Hime said she has seen it return. “A lot of people here in Haiti are relapsing,” she said. “It goes away temporarily then creeps back up when you least expect it. It seems like one of those never-ending epidemics.”
Dresden ex celebrating 139 years

It is going to be the place to be

It may not be Port Dover on a Friday the 13th, but Chatham is set to host Bike Fest again this year. The Aug. 23 event, run by Big Brothers, Big Sisters, will take place downtown for the first time, at Tecumseh Park. Toni Martin, a spokesperson for Big Brothers, Big Sisters, said Duke’s Harley Davidson has in the past hosted Bike Fest, but organizers wanted to expand things this year. “Before this year, we always had it out at Duke’s. That limited us in the number of vendors we could have, but having it downtown at Tecumseh Park allows us to open it up to a variety of vendors,” she said. “And now with it downtown, it’s a chance for more people to get out and enjoy it.” Martin said there will again be a raffle for a Harley Davidson bike and bands will play throughout the day. “It’s the same type of event; it’s just growing.” In past years, Martin said the Ride for Big Brothers, Big Sisters has been part of the event. It took place this past
weekend instead this year. It’s a popular ride. “We have so many people who send messages looking for information about the ride. It’s fairly cost effective and a nice ride,” she said. Martin, a motorcycle enthusiast herself, said area bikers are very giving when it comes to local charities. “For us, the biking community does an awful lot, helping with the Harley raffle and promoting it,” she said. “(Bike Fest) is our way to thank them and to promote the good they do. The biking community takes part in a lot of events, such as Relay For Life, events for the OSPCA, etc. They are very supportive of children’s charities.” As part of Bike Fest, there will be a custom bike display. The rides could be vintage or custom in nature.
“It’s hard to say how many will show up for this, our first year doing it,” Martin said. She said it’s just another draw for spectators in a great venue. “It’s nice to have events going on in the park to show it off and to have it easy to get to for everyone in Chatham-Kent,” she said. “You can just wander in, even if you aren’t a motorcycle enthusiast, and listen to country music, classic rock for free.” There will also be a beer garden and food eating contests. The bike up for raffle at $20 a ticket is a Dyna Low Rider, a new line for Harley this year, Martin said. For tickets, contact Big Brothers, Big Sisters at 519-351-1582.

“We are going to be announcing the new 2014 Ambassador. That is always quite exciting. We’re going to do that on Friday night instead of Saturday.” Laprise said another fixture for the exhibition is the midway. “We have Carter Shows, with the midway and the rides and games,” she said. “They al-
ways have some really neat rides. The last couple years they’ve been bringing some really bigger rides. Carter Shows is always an excellent show. We’re really pleased to have them working with us.” Laprise said a handful of exhibitors will be on display is the arena all weekend, Other events taking place on the Saturday include the baby show, mutton bustin’, the
teddy bear contest, the horse show, the sheep show, the cattle show and the pedal pull for the kids. Laprise said Saturday night will be capped off with a demolition derby.

Connect the dots The ongoing refusal of Chatham-Kent council to enact a bylaw protecting the community’s disappearing woodlots demonstrates either the power of political influence or a near-fatal lack of understanding of how laws work. Either way, it’s not good for Chatham-Kent. Council as a whole last week rejected a woodlot conservation bylaw in favour of a “natural heritage implementation strategy,” which is as impotent as it sounds. Want to bulldoze every tree on your land? Go ahead, with council’s blessing, because as the consultant’s report on the issue reads in part “Chatham-Kent has shown leadership to ... maintain and advance woodlands, wetlands and grasslands for over a decade.” Rubbish. The reason this issue is before council is exactly the opposite. We’re one of only two communities in Southwestern Ontario without some type of protection. Council went to great lengths to claim that only 1% of landowners aren’t good stewards of the land but couldn’t connect the dots after that. We don’t have laws for the people who obey them – we have laws for those who don’t. Most people don’t drink and drive – we have laws to stop those who do. Most people don’t’ steal – we have laws to stop those who do. Most people don’t spill toxic waste into waterways – we have laws to stop those who do. Most people realize our environment needs to be protected. Not our elected officials in Chatham-Kent. One premise of law is that it is enacted for the common good. What’s more common than the air we breathe and the environment we share? The fact that some of our leaders can head into this autumn’s election with the belief they have agricultural groups in their pocket is appalling. They may find out that the 99% who aren’t on the radical fringe don’t like being lumped in with the 1%-ers. They may also find out that “tree huggers” vote too.

Opinion
SNAP program welcome Sir: This letter is in response to the “Taking on bullying is a SNAP” news article published in The Chatham Voice on June 12. As a member of the Chatham-Kent community, I wish to commend Mr. Mike Neuts for bringing the SNAP program to our community schools. With the alarming reports of bullying incidents among children, particularly in schools which are supposed to be safe learning environments for all, an effective, well-researched intervention program such as SNAP is very much needed. Bullying is a major social issue in our community. According to the Canadian Institute of Health Research (2012), at least one in three adolescent students in Canada have reported being
bullied. Victims of bullying are more likely to experience symptoms related to depression, which impacts their ability to function at school and their overall wellbeing. Some children have also lost their lives due to injuries and, in some cases, suicide from feeling hopeless. More so, children who bully others are more likely to become disengaged at school, leading to poor academic performance. With higher rates of substance abuse and aggressive behaviours, these children are also more likely to get into trouble with the law. As a social work student with an interest in working with children, I was particularly elated to read that SNAP is an
internationally recognized crime prevention program aimed at teaching children and their parents self-control and problem-solving skills. The article mentioned that in Chatham, the SNAP training was being provided to children, teachers, and child and youth workers. I believe that this is an excellent approach, as several anti-bullying measures will be needed to combat this social issue. However, the article did not mention if SNAP training is given to parents and guardians in Chatham. Given that children who have been identified with these behaviours often present with them at home and other environments, and the family is a major
agent of socialization, I believe that providing SNAP training to parents and guardians in Chatham will create a greater sense of awareness on bullying, improve parenting skills, and help to develop problem-solving skills among members of the community. Perpetrators of bullying come from families. These families are part of a community, a culture and a larger society. Teaching our children a culture of acceptance, respect, tolerance and love, and becoming good role models for our children will enable them to adopt positive values that will help them maintain good relationships with their families, peers, and members of the community.

Campers get crash course in policing
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Most summer camps offer kids plenty of outdoor time and a chance to play. Despite taking place in the middle of a conservation area, surrounded by nature, camp entailed hours of classroom time, a parade of lecturers and short lunch breaks. Yet there was a waiting list of 12 and 13 year olds in Chatham-Kent wanting to take part. It’s Cop Camp, an eye-opening experience for kids before they reach high school. Fourteen kids from across the municipality took part in the fourth annual camp last week at the Children’s Safety Village, located inside C.M. Wilson Conservation Area. Campers learned about many facets of policing, as well as basic first aid. Topics included traffic safety, drug enforcement, forensic identification, bicycle safety, and more. The kids were quite immersed in their week of
summertime police-led education. For example, while a drug squad officer was discussing the various types of drugs prevalent in Chatham-Kent, the class had the option to have the presentation wrap up early for lunch, or for the officer to go through additional photos of drugs and seizures. No one chose the early lunch. Through it all, the kids said they soaked up the information. “It was a good experience. I learned a lot of what it’s like to be with the police force,” Madison Vickery, 12, said. Const. Renee Cowell, the public information officer, co-ordinated Cop Camp. She said this year’s camp was “fantastic” and the participants were quite focused. So too were the presenting officers. “All the officers we bring in – all are knowledgeable and passionate about what we do,” she said. “The kids see policing is not what they see on TV or hear about at school.”
Participants agreed “I learned life-long lessons, and about what police officers do. Police do so many other things than just catch bad guys,” Megan Hakr, 13, said, adding seeing the behindthe-scenes work of the various departments was quite interesting. Kamryn Hull, 12, said the first aid portion was enlightening. “My gramma is allergic to bees and got stung one time. I didn’t know what to do,” she said, adding her grandmother was fine afterwards, but Hull now knows how to react. Cowell hopes the students will share what they learn at Cop Camp with everyone around them. “I hope they tell their friends and family and share their experiences.” There is also a reason to have their target age group for campers, Cowell said. “By bringing in kids who are ages 12 and 13, we catch them before they enter high school so they have some knowledge be-

fore facing peer pressure,” she said. “The goal is to get them to start thinking about their future.” Cowell hopes that future entails them making smart decisions. “We want them to be outstanding citizens and be future leaders in our community,” she said. “This is all about keeping the community safe.” The camp had an impact. Hull was angered to see a photograph of her school covered in graffiti. “That was really sad,” she said. “If you drop out, chances are you’ll be sitting on the side of the road doing drugs. “These police officers and firefighters help us so
we are protected and people just turn around and do bad stuff.” Vickery believes information she’s taken in from Cop Camp can help
her down the road. “With all the things we learned, this can really help us in life and with our decision making,” she said.

It is rich in the important omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, as well as choline and astaxanthin. It is also a significant source of DHA and EPA in phospholipids form, which is easier for the body to absorb.

So, if you hear people whine, “There’s nothing to do!” when referring to life in Chatham-Kent, just laugh at them. I missed Cherry Fest for the first time in several years on the weekend. I was instead checking out the scale-model remote-control planes at the Warbirds and Classics Over Chatham show at the airport, put on by the Chatham Aeronauts. This just three days after being at the airport to see what Flight Fest had to offer, including an up-close view of a vintage B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. I’m a bit of a Second World War military buff, so it was very cool to see the B-17. It reminded me of when we went to the Windsor Air Show a few years back and there was a Lancaster, an RAF bomber, flying there. Yeah, nothing to do. Then again, I missed the blues fest in Shrewsbury on the weekend. Ditto for the Mitchell’s Bay Antique Car Show. At the airport, the planes were grounded when I stopped by Saturday. But just walking around the hangar to see all the different scale-model planes was a treat. A P-47 Thunderbolt here, a couple of Spad biplanes there. Is that an S.E.5a
Bruce Corcoran off in the corner? Looks like it, as the Lewis machine gun is mounted on the top wing. There was also a massive (for a scale model) Sikorsky flying boat that had a wingspan of a good 20 feet. And then there were Don McLellan’s two little beauties. Don, a local R/C flyer, had a racing plane and an Australian Air Force Boomerang, something I’d never seen before. It was also a Second World War scale model, and Don was kind enough to explain how it was the Aussie’s fighter plane contribution to the war. As for his aerial hot rod, a slick yellow, lightweight number, it looked fast just sitting there. The plane is powered by a 200 cc engine and can cut through the skies at well over 100 mph. Yep, zero to do or see in C-K – if you keep your head buried in the sand! Home therapy
I did spend a good deal of time Sunday in the backyard, for therapeutic reasons. As

I’m working to improve my overall health (I am more than a little chunky), one of the things the health-care experts say is smart to do is to reduce stress. For me, clutter can be stressful. So I attacked one of our sheds Sunday, pulling up the garbage bin and getting down to business. Most everything came out, except for the two shelving units and the garden implements hanging on the wall. Man it held a lot of stuff, much of it junk. I filled the Carts-a-Hoy bin and organized what I kept. Wow. There’s space left over! To cap off a great weekend, we tried something new on the barbecue. Thanks to a friend of mine, Harvey, for hooking me up with quick tips on how to barbecue corn on the cob. We soaked the corn for about 20 minutes, peeled back the husk, yanking out all the corn silk. From there, we added a mix of melted butter, lemon pepper, garlic and barbecue seasonings, replaced the husk and tied it closed. I barbecued the cobs at about 325 for 25-30 minutes, turning every five minutes. Another hit on the Big Green Egg! Well, the barbecued corn can be done on any barbecue, really.
