Issue No. 31
by Sylene Argent Visitors to the Fort Malden National Historic Site, located on the bank of the Detroit River in Amherstburg, were able to take in 2000 years of military history over the weekend as staff and volunteers hosted the annual Military Heritage Days event. There were many encampments set up for park guests to visit over the weekend. Event-goers were able to travel up and down the paved path and visit re-enactors to ask questions about the era in history the reenactors were representing, as
well as about the equipment they had on display from the period. There were several eras highlighted, including Romans, both World Wars, French Voyageurs, and the War of 1812. Throughout the weekend, the re-enactors and historic site staff hosted tactical demonstrations. From the demonstration area, cannons were fired and music of the past was shared. Fort Malden National Historic Site employee Joel Bondy manned a blacksmithing booth. A big part of a blacksmithÕ s job during

Help support Jessica McCracken and her family
Photo submitted by McCracken Family
by Sylene Argent There are several ways the community can support 32-year old former Essex resident and EDHS alumna Jessica McCracken as she continues to recover from injuries sustained after hitting a moose on her way to work at an oil camp in Alberta on July 7. She is currently recovering from extensive injuries in an Alberta hospital. There are a few tickets left for a pasta fundraiser being held on her behalf on Thursday, August 21, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Fogolar Furlan Club. A golf tournament and chicken/rib dinner will also be held at Belleview Golf Club on September 14, which Jamie McDermott, a friend of the family, is organizing. Area residents who would like to contribute can also do so by visiting gofundme.com/c0fai4 to place a donation. As of Tuesday morning, over $6800 was raised through this site so far. McCrackenÕ s sister, Heather Ledoux, said her
family has received an overwhelming amount of support from friends and the local community since her sisterÕ s accident. She is thankful for all of the letters and words of kindness. She noted it is awesome for individuals to step up and organize fundraisers, such as the ones above, to help her family and her sister. McCracken requires an extended hospital stay. And as she continues to recover, she will need rehabilitation
and will require facial reconstruction. Through the accident, McCracken sustained a traumatic brain injury, and canÕ t see as of yet, Ledoux said. The family will have to wait for swelling in the brain to subside before it is known how much brain function will be recovered. Through a surgery, McCracken had bone removed to help accommodate the brain swelling, which will still have to be replaced. Ledoux noted her sisterÕ s
recovery is slow going, but there have been little improvements. Some of McCrackenÕ s family have relocated to be with her during her time of need. The family hopes to be able to eventually have her transferred to a Toronto hospital facility so that she could be closer to home and to her family. For more information about these supportive events, contact Ledoux at hmledoux@yahoo.ca.

fought between the Americans and British on September 10, 1813. Within the Roman encampment, re-enactor Alaina Alfini transformed herself into a Roman citizen character she calls Arria Octavia. Over the weekend, she demonstrated nalbinding, which was used as a precursor to knitting, using only one needle. This was used in the ancient Roman times to create items such as socks and mittens.

BIA supports Spitfire monument with $5,000 donation a volunteer with the committee, said he has never worked with a committee that has been so connected together. And the members have been supportive of one another in getting various tasks done for the Spitfire project. He noted that the Spitfire replica would be shipped to Toronto from England in the very near future. Once in Toronto, Chrysler Canada will pick the monument up and deliver it to the Essex Memorial Arena. A media day will then be held. It is hoped the Spitfire will be on display so visitors to the Southern Ontario Military Muster, that will take place at the arena grounds from August 1617, can see it. The Spitfire will then be brought down EssexÕ s main street to the Heritage Park and put on a plinth for display. The Committee is hoping to have a dedication for the memorial project in late September. Beale thanked the community for its generous support with an aim in getting this monument erected as soon as possible.
Members of the Essex Centre BIA Board of Directors hand over a $5,000 donation to the Essex Memorial Spitfire group for a replica spitfire monument that will honour area airmen.
able to bring him out of the area. Essex Centre BIAÕ s Chairperson Stephen Bjorkman said he is thrilled to have the Spitfire Memorial Project erected in the Heritage Gardens, located between the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) and the historic Essex Railway Station. Placing it within the silo district, he added, will allow it to become the first piece in that section that is planned to become a park like area. This project, Bjorkman added, is a great example of forming partnerships between committees, the community, and private companies. To get projects like this memorial established, partnerships have to be made, he said.
Councillor Randy Voakes, on behalf of the Town, thanked the BIA for stepping up and forwarding the donation. “We can’t thank you enough,” he said. He has worked with many committees in the past and the Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee is one that stands out. He recognized the dedication the committee has poured into the project. “We all know how hard you are working,” he said. Michael Beale,

Delivering Your Weekly Dose of News Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Artists and murals Many Essex residents have asked why the Mural Committee hires out of town people to paint murals when we have many local artistsÕ . Therein lies the answer. An artist is not always a muralist. All muralists are artists but not all artists are muralists You want me to explain the difference? Technically I am not able to do that. Basically it has something to do with the ability to transform a story onto a canvas with a visionary aspect that grabs interest. We have a few murals that were painted by artists and they lack dynamics. There is no intensity of interest. It is a fine line. However there are other reasons. For instance, when we wanted to hire a muralist we put an ad in Rural Roots, the medium for muralists. It is impossible to advertise in several papers, largely because of expense. But basically, if a muralist is looking for a job that is where he or she looks. Another problem is insurance. Anyone painting on the town walls is required to carry heavy insurance to protect him or her and the town from liability. Not many artists can afford the required coverage.

Former school could have new use
Pictured is Essex councillor Bill Baker next to the 1947 corner stone of the former Holy Name School.
by Fred Groves One of the older buildings in Essex could soon be breathing new life. Built in 1947, the former
Holy Name elementary school, which most recently housed the St. MichaelÕ s High School, is owned by the municipality and is for sale.
While there is no visible For Sale signs on the prime piece of real estate, one councillor has a vision of what he hopes a perspective buyer might do with the solidly built brick building. Ò I see this as somewhat as a boutique store. I have someone coming in from Calgary,Ó said councillor Bill Baker. He said he would like to see a developer convert the former school into a type of hotel where people who are attending sports events could stay. Ò ItÕ s positioned in the sports mecca of Essex. What do you lack when you host a tournament? A place to stay.Ó The location is a few steps away from ball diamonds, soccer pitches and the twinpad Essex Centre Sports Complex. With a big possibility of the Essex Memorial Arena being torn down, it would open a lot of space for even more future development in that area. Besides the school and the old arena, the municipality also owns the downtown empty lot where the MichaelÕ s building
was. It had to be torn down because the cost to renovate the former department store was too high. Ò The purpose I presented to council is that I think itÕ s important to know what our assets are,Ó said Baker. Price tag on the Holy Name building is about $325,000. Baker said that while the townÕ s Community Improvement Fund could help an owner with paying for cost of a new facade, there would still have to be a lot of money invested to turn it into what he expects could be 20-25 rooms or even condo-style apartments. Ò Whoever comes in would have to have long dollars. They would have to put a million dollars into it.Ó Baker noted that the town is already looking at a feasibility study in Harrow to see if a hotel or motel would work in that community to help draw even more visitors to the popular wineries. As far as the building in Essex goes, he says, Ò Why am I interested? I think itÕ s a catalyst, a game changer.Ó
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Baker believes that if a new development at the former school does materialize, then other opportunities could follow. An engineer would have to come in and prepare a report, similar to what was done at the Memorial Arena recently. There are zoning issues and as Baker noted, the entire building is not for sale. The town has no immediate intentions of selling off the portion that houses the library, the police station or the gymnasium. Ò We would like to see some engineering done. Right now, itÕ s a vision. ItÕ s up for sale (and) itÕ s on the market, but whatÕ s not for sale is the gymnasium.Ó The local councillor has experience with development of older buildings as he had a hand in the rejuvenation of the old Windsor Medical Arts building which has been redone inside and out and now acts as housing for medical students and visiting physicians.

EDHS rebuild update by Fred Groves A part of this townÕ s history will be reduced to rubble in the next few days as the Essex District High School is soon to be knocked down to make way for a new school. Built in 1922, the front portion of the education facility will fall, and in its
place will be a sprawling single level building that reflects modern times. Completely accessible and connected to the internet, the new EDHS will be a structure of pride for many years to come. Several months ago the Greater Essex County
District School Board began the $18 million project, which has been on the books for a few years, by demolishing the old library and starting construction immediately afterwards. The school is expected to have the capacity to accommodate
723 students, which is a slight decrease from the current roster of around 800. Ă’ Every time we build a new school, or in this case rebuild, we want to emphasize that it is a community asset,Ă“ said GECDSB Media Relations Director, Scott
Scantlebury. Being built in stages, about 60 percent of the school will be new and include renovations to one of the gymnasiums, a new arts program area and what seems to be one of the highlights, a common area that will function as both cafeteria and library. Designed in an Ă” LĂ• shape, EDHS will lose three of its computer labs but students will have a

lot of access to computers and technology devices. Much of the current construction is focused around the technical area where a high-end auto shop, wood working shop and a special education area with access to the outside are being built. Scantlebury said that some of the students will probably still be bused to other schools come the first day of classes, Tuesday, Sept. 2 Ă’ Some technical programs might be accessing Kingsville high school. Our emphasis is to develop co-operative situations with the technical trades,Ă“ he said. The more modern end of the school, which includes the large main gym, the aquatic centre and the Youth Centre will not be disturbed. Earlier this year, the Essex Food Bank had to be relocated to the adjacent Sun Parlour School where some students have been attending classes on a temporary basis. Ă’ The (newer) gym is going to remain. We

Amherstburg unveils 1812 commemorative monument
McGregor resident Mark Williams is the artist behind the newly unveiled “Prepare to Fire” monument, located in Amherstburg’s King’s Navy Yard Park.
by Sylene Argent On Saturday, the Town of Amherstburg and the Provincial Marine Amherstburg Reenactment Unit unveiled a monument, featuring four bronze statues of navy personnel preparing to fire a canon. This monument honours all those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813 and other naval battles of the War of 1812. It also features a canon that the Town of Amherstburg contributed to this project. This impressive piece overlooks the Detroit River from AmherstburgÕ s KingÕ s Navy Yard Park. The monument is entitled, Ò Prepare to Fire.Ó The Provincial Marine, re-enactor and group member David May said, was able to establish the first phase of the monument with the financial help of a Trillium grant and the
second phase with a contribution from the federal government through its War of 1812 Legacy Project. In addition to the Trillium and Legacy Program contributions, the Town of Amherstburg also contributed in-kind with installing the concrete platform, pathway, and landscaping. Around two years ago, the first two pieces of the monument were created, the man with the pistol and the soldier ramming the canon ball down the
canonÕ s barrel. With the federal contribution, the monumentÕ s officer and wounded solider were added. May was able to pose for two of these sculptures, which for him, as a reenactor, was an exciting experience. The faces of these sculptures were changed, however, so they would be unique and take on their own identity. May is happy with the end result. He commended everyone involved for getting the project completed,
especially Provincial Marines group member Jenny LaJoie. MP Jeff Watson said this monument is unlike any he has seen. It captures historic detail and the vividness of the characters, which are lifelike, he said. The project got underway, May explained when Anne Rota, the Manager of Tourism and Culture for Amherstburg, Continued on Page 11

The Voice Of Experience EDHS rebuild update... Continued from Page 8
by Evelyn Couch Aged and Decrepit? There is a tendency among younger people to judge all older people as being decrepit. A couple of years ago a doctor arranged for an immediate appointment with a Windsor doctor and then asked me if I were certain I could drive there. Then, when it was time to leave that appointment that doctor questioned whether I could drive. Recently, when I took Bob to emergency and they admitted him for three days, a nurse questioned whether I could drive to take him home. I think too, of the time I bought a sports car and the salesman wanted to drive it off the lot for me. When I asked him why, he said that car up there is parked fairly close.
Thinking about the fact that as soon as you reach 80 you must take a written driving test every other year, I donÕ t think of that as discrimination toward the elderly. It is very important that we know the rules of traffic. But I think the tests are meaningless because we are not told what mistakes we made. We are allowed a limited number of errors. All we are told is you had three mistakes, for example, but the director never tells us what they are so we never know what our errors are that we should correct. We are assessed in groups of 15 and most of those people say they drive only to appointments or to the mall and that is all. Very few of us say we drive wherever and whenever we want. Bob says he wishes we were given the same test as someone getting his or her first license. I have never heard of a senior being denied the license after the test. If one is, it is possible to return and try again. If a senior of 80 or more, is caught speeding he or she has to take the full test. ThatÕ s enough to make me check the speedometer frequently!
are continually looking and welcoming partners to the new school,Ó said Scantlebury of wanting to use the new facility for other than educational purposes. As far as whether or not the school, being built in three separate phases, is on time and on budget, Scantlebury did not have that information readily at hand. He also did not know whether or not the athletic fields could be used come September. He did say however that Mike Hawkins, who has been the principal at Leamington District High School for the past three years would be replacing outgoing EDHS principal Tony Omar. Ò Principal rotation is common place. I think this is just a coincidence that it is a new school,Ó
said Scantlebury. As of Tuesday afternoon, there was no sign of heavy equipment at the front of the school to begin knocking down the older part, which is
over 90 years old. Ò A lot depends on the lead and asbestos cleanup. That means bringing in professionals,Ó said Scantlebury.

Amherstburg unveils 1812 commemorative monument... Continued from Page 9
approached the Provincial Marine group to see if its members would partner with the Town to try and receive a Trillium grant to install a monument to commemorate the War of 1812 during its bicentennial anniversary. The Provincial Marine group agreed to this partnership. Mark Williams, a McGregor resident, was then left the task to create at the monument, which he was thrilled to do.
Williams is extremely happy with how the monument turned out. He would have, however, liked to add more sculptures of naval personnel to the monument to demonstrate all the jobs needed to carry out the firing of a canon. It was important to him when sculpting these figures, to show the tragedy of such a battle, in somewhat of a mild manner. What he wants is for the monument to have people ask
questions about the War of 1812, or the Battle of Lake Erie, and maybe do a little research about it. Within the next few years, Williams said, he will install a monument commemorating General Isaac Brock and Tecumseh on horseback just before the attack on Fort Detroit. Ă’ This is going to be neat,Ă“ he said. This historical monument will be placed in Paterson Park on Sandwich Street.

Annual plowing match attracts many competitors

Rodeo celebrates 13 years of supporting community
Many cowboys and cowgirls with the Rawhide Rodeo Company took to the show ring over the weekend to compete in the annual Sun Parlour Rodeo.
by Sylene Argent There were barrels to turn, timers to challenge, and plenty of bulls and
bucking broncs for professional performers to ride over the weekend as the 13th annual Sun
Parlour Rodeo welcomed cowboys and cowgirls of the Rawhide Rodeo Company to the ring at the event grounds on County Road 18 in Ruthven. Families watched from the hill or grandstand as cowgirls exuded their roping skills in the breakaway roping and showed off their horsesÕ speed in the barrel race. And as cowboys challenged the eight second timer aboard bucking broncs or bulls, or showed their roping skills in the tie-down or team roping events. In the ring, the rodeo performers took to the sidelines briefly as interested youth came down from the grandstands to participate
in the mutton busting and the calf scramble events. The rodeo is one that many families look forward to attending each year. As such, it is a great fundraiser for local charities. Each year, the Pavao family organizes this rodeo. Since its inception, not including this yearÕ s performance, the Sun Parlour Rodeo has raised $208, 500, which has been forwarded back into the community. $100,000 of the proceeds has gone to support Leamington District Memorial Hospital, and $108,500 has gone to support WE Care for Kids. Proceeds raised during the 2014 Rodeo will support the Erie Shore Campus of the Hospice of WindsorEssex, which will be established in Leamington in the nearing future. The organizers hope to purchase a room for this project, and felt it was a good project to support with the long running rodeo. Ò WeÕ re really grateful for the support,Ó organizer Stephanie
Pavao said, adding that while it rained Saturday, the rodeo still attracted a
large crowd. Pavao attributes the RodeoÕ s continued success to two things: there is something for everyone to enjoy, and supporters get the gratification of knowing their attendance is contributing to the effort to give back to the community. Pavao thanked the volunteers, rodeo spectators and sponsors. Ò Without them, the event would not be as successful as it is,Ó she said.

Voice Of Inspiration
Ò Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.Ó
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
BRuMMELL, darryl warren. - On Friday August 1st, 2014 in his 72nd year, peacefully at London Heath Sciences Centre, London ON after a courageous battle with heart disease. Beloved husband of Diane (Reeve) for 51 years. Dear father of Craig Brummell (Debbie) and Sara Orlando (Vince). Much loved grandfather of Lauren Brummell, Ryan Maedel, and Carson Brummell. Also survived by his brother Arden Brummell (Susan) of Calgary, and his Aunt and Uncle Leyland and Barbara Pearsall of Picton. Predeceased by his parents Marshall Brummell (1991) and Areta Brummell (2013). Also survived by nieces and nephews Ruth, Martin, and Jessica Brummell, and many cousins in Eastern Ontario. Born in Warings Corners near Picton ON, Darryl grew up in Kingston on Toronto St. across from Rideau School where his Dad was the principal. After graduating from KCVI in Kingston, he started his career with the Canadian Bank of Commerce in finance, which had him living in Kingston, Burlington, Brantford and Woodstock. He was then with Currah Mills in Hickson, and the CO-OP. He took a job with Ralston Purina in Woodstock and lived in Moncton NB, Truro NS, and Thamesville ON while working for them. He always wanted to own his own company to be his own boss, so in 1978 left his corporate job and he purchased Essex Topcrop Sales in the commercial livestock feed and wild bird food manufacturing business. He grew that business from a small office and store in a house on Talbot St. in Essex in front of the mill to a thriving manufacturing and distribution business with three locations in Essex and Colborne, well-known and respected to his peers in his industry. He was a passionate man to all who knew him, from family, friends and business associates. Those who did business with him and had the good fortune to know him well, knew his bark was always worse than his bite. He loved his motorcycles, traveling across Canada and the US, and the game of golf. In the past few years he has enjoyed working less, and being able to travel to Texas and Florida in the winter months, enjoying golf all year round, but always kept one hand in the door at Topcrop just to keep everyone in line. Thank you to the team at the LHSC CSRU and Dr. Kiaii, Dr. Butler, all of the CSRU nurses, and Dr. Sabga for the loving care they provided Darryl in his final months. Visiting was held at Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519326-2631) on Tuesday. Funeral Service was held at the funeral home Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at 2 p.m.. Interment at Erie Memorial Gardens followed. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made by cheque to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, SACU, or the charity of your choice. Family and friends are invited to share their words of comfort and remembrance at www.reidfuneralhome.ca.

by Sylene Argent Some major changes have happened at Victoria Plaza in Essex Centre. There are new services and businesses, and the owners/operators are excited to announce these changes and celebrate them with the community. The current changes to the plaza will fill the mall with health and wellness orientated businesses and services, offering a one-stop shop for healthrelated services. The Victoria Plaza houses the Essex County Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic and Essex Community Services, an organization that offers many services, including foot care clinics, security reassurance, and transportation. It also houses Siefker Performance Machine in the back. Recently added businesses will bring a new gym, a hearing and balance clinic, and a pharmacy. Essex Pharma Care is currently operating out of the Essex Community Services suite within the Plaza; moving to this position from its former Talbot Street location recently. In the late fall, this service will move to where Beach Walk is currently located in the Plaza when that business moves out. Essex Pharma Care owners Sam Chan and Margaret McNamara are excited to be part of the new plaza family. Ò Our
business is growing,Ó McNamara said of the move, knowing space was coming available in the Plaza, and wanting to expand the practice. They are excited to be located near the existing Essex County Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic, and are eager to work in cooperation with that organization as it would be easy for these two services to complement each other and consult and coordinate with shared patients, she said. McNamara hopes, in the future, to add a blood lab in their new space. Onyx Fitness Solutions is currently preparing its new facility in the Plaza. Owners Ken and Kim Dennison chose to put their new gym in the plaza as they wanted to open this business in the Essex area, and knew this plaza would attract a lot of traffic. It is also a nice, clean area, Ken said. The gym is planned to be open 24/7, to have a welcoming atmosphere, and will offer semi-private, private, and group training, the couple added. It will also have state-of-the-art machinery. It is hoped the facilityÕ s doors will be open to the public in the very near future. Audiologist Bernice McKenzie will move her practice from Centre Street to the Plaza. She also has a practice in Amherstburg. She will team up with Paige Pierozynski to open the
Hearing and Dizziness Clinic. They chose to place this clinic in Essex Centre as it is in the center of Essex County. This clinic will also house a part-time speech pathologist and a physical therapist for balance rehabilitation. They hope to be open in mid-August and are aiming to host a September 15 grand opening. McKenzie noted her Essex patients would automatically be transferred to the new facility. These changes will be a good addition to the town, Plaza owner Andy Siefker commented. ItÕ s a good focal point, having so many medical and health orientated businesses and services in the same mall. He noted his facility has free parking and is accessible. Ò This will be great for the Town,Ó he said. He is happy to welcome the businesses. As these businesses and organization are all offering health and wellness services, the new business owners are hoping to coordinate care to try and make things easy on patients. McNamara added Essex Pharma Care is currently raising funds for the Essex Memorial Spitfire project. For the month of August, $2 from every prescription will be forwarded to help install that monument.

Essex Seniors strong behind the plate
by Fred Groves The Essex Seniors took a couple of tough ones on the chin Sunday afternoon, dropping both ends of a shortened double-header against the Walker Home Sites Juniors. Despite the set back, the locals know one thing for sure, heading into the Essex County Senior Baseball League playoffs and the upcoming Ontario Baseball Association tournament, they have a lot of depth behind the plate. At the vital catcher’s spot, Essex has a couple of solid veterans in Brandon Harris and Sean O’Rourke along with up-and-comers Noah Wilson and Matt O’Neil. Harris caught the second game of Sunday’s twin bill, and also saw some time at third base and the outfield and is a clutch hitter batting from the number three spot. Ò He has a great attitude and he plays the game right. He is one of my favorites. He brings a lot to the table,Ó said Essex player-coach Todd Howson. In Sunday’s opener, O’Neil made a perfect throw down to Howson at second to stop a Walker Home Sites base-stealing attempt. O’Neil was later knocked
by Fred Groves There are two more Essex District High School student-athletes who are headed to the University of Windsor. Dennis Fairall, track and field coach of the Lancers recently announced that sprinters Sierra Wolfe and Taylor Ross would be joining his already very successful program. Wolfe, who has a personal best of 57.82 in her specialty, the 400m, is an OFSAA medalist. Ross does the 100m hurdles in 15.71. Both were part of one of the best relay teams in the province while at Essex. They join hurdler Tyler Bellaire, another EDHS grad who is entering his third year with the Lancers. • The Glen Mills-
coached Essex Ravens are heading to the Ontario Varsity Football League Adam Conference final. At the University of Windsor field on Friday night, the Ravens came from behind to beat the Mississauga Warriors 45-29. The victory was the eighth straight for the Ravens whose only blemish on the season was their opening game of the season. The Bantam Ravens beat the Cambridge Lions and will also advance. • The Essex 73’s, defending Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ Hockey League Champs, will open their 42nd regular season schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 9 when they face off against the Amherstburg Admirals at the Essex Centre Sports Complex
out of the game with a wrist injury when he bore the brunt of a bat. Ò That was such a nice throw and because of that nice throw I had time to tag him,” said Howson. After O’Neil left the game, Wilson came in and made a great play diving an out on a foul tip. Wilson is another dependable player who can play several positions if need be. While both games were lopsided wins for Walker Home Sites, Essex made some strong defensive efforts including a few nifty double plays. Ò You are 20-0 for a reason,Ó said Howson of Sunday’s opposition. “That first game we were only down 4-1 in the sixth and that’s when the wheels fell off.Ó At the plate, call-up Joel Wismer singled and then scored in the first game, and in the second shortstop Cory Lemire had a base hit, moved over on a nice bunt by Harris and then eventually scored on a long sac fly by outfielder Ryan Moore. Good news for the Essex Seniors is that outfielderpitcher Joe Totten and first baseman Chris Cerchie have returned from injuries and will be ready for hopefully a successful post-season run. “He’s (Cerchie) been out three weeks. He is a solid ball player who has a lot of experience,Ó said Howson. Essex will start the ECSBL playoffs in another week when they will either face LaSalle or Harrow in a double-elimination format. Labor Day will be in Niagara Falls for the OBA where their first opponent will be Thorold.

Upgrades to ERCA’s Trail System Oshawa-built 1956 Pontiac brings back fond memories
1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop owned by Richard Marion, Shawville, Quebec. Note streaks on hood, a Pontiac trademark since 1935.
General Motors introduced the Pontiac in 1926 as a companion car to the Oakland. The Oakland soon faded away but the Pontiac remained as a popular nameplate and was in production for 30 years when the feature car in todayÕ s column was built. Richard Marion of Shawville, Quebec, purchased a 1956 Pontiac 2-door with a 265 V8 under the hood and automatic transmission in 1958. That car is long gone but when he saw an ad recently in Ò Old AutosÓ newspaper for a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop, he couldnÕ t resist. Now he drives a car almost identical to the one he drove as a teenager. His Ò newÓ 1956 Pontiac has a 261 cubic inch six cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission (Ò three on the treeÓ we used to say). It is one of only 1165 built in Oshawa, Ontario. The colour code is 2409: India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise. The trim is 901: Charcoal and Starfrost. “After a number of weeks of negotiation,” recalls Richard, “I finally purchased the car in 2011 and have enjoyed the memory of owning a 1956 Pontiac again. My current 1956 Pontiac is different in that it does not have a model emblem anywhere on the car. Most 1956 Pontiacs have a Laurentian or Pathfinder nameplate on the fenders or trunk lid. General Motors of Canada listed this car as Model 2037, 2-door hardtop. Ò A gentleman from Perth, Ontario, saw my car on the front cover of the March 18/13 Ô Old AutosÕ and called to say he has a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop but his Pontiac has the crests on the body. My 1956 Pontiac seems to be rare in the fact that it has a six cylinder with standard shift instead of a V8 with automatic, and that it does not have any model nameplates on it. I have looked for other 1956 Pontiacs at car shows and in car magazines that are the same as mine and I have found none to date.Ó A previous owner, Mr. T. McDermott of Bridgenorth, Ontario, wrote to the Vintage Vehicle Services at GM in Oshawa in 1995 and was informed that RichardÕ s car is a 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe and, like other Canadian-built Pontiacs, his car was built on a Chevrolet chassis. It was built in Oshawa on April 18, 1956 and shipped to an unknown dealer the same day. With this story now published, we might hear from the person who bought it new. Stay tuned. IÕ m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: Ò Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.Ó
submitted to EFP The Essex Region Conservation Authority is advising the public it is undertaking a three week service project along the complete Chrysler Canada Greenway. As part of ERCAÕ s infrastructure plan, this maintenance project entails pulling up grass and vegetation growing on the trail and involves multiple passes with ERCAÕ s grooming equipment. Ò We graded the Greenway approximately five years ago, however vegetation breaks up and narrows the trail surface over time,Ó said Kevin Money, Director of Conservation Services. Ò This new equipment removes vegetation, scrapes the surface, and after a few passes results in a much improved trail surface.Ó While the project is occurring, ERCA is advising the public that it is a work-in-progress. Ò There may be a few bumps and ridges over the next few weeks as we complete the work,Ó said Money. Ò The trail will be more like a gravel road for the next few weeks, but once complete it will be level smooth and compacted again. When the surface of our trail is fixed, we will focus on brushing back the vegetation on both sides of the trail.Ó In addition to this trail maintenance, ERCA has recently installed new safety netting along the Greenway by the Kingsville Golf and
Country Club. This new netting will continue to protect trail users from golf balls as they walk, run, or ride along the Greenway. ERCA has also installed new bollard signs at each Greenway crossing in partnership with support from County Wide Active Transportation System. These new signs increase the width of the trail opening, making it easier for users. In addition, these new signs have distance markers to communities and GPS coordinates for those interested in plotting their travels along the Greenway.
This fall there will be more work happening along the Greenway to stabilize an actively eroding bank along the side of Mill Creek in Kingsville. This will reduce erosion from the top of the trail into Mill Creek, to improve fish habitat and water quality. Since 1973, the Essex Region Conservation Authority has served as a community-based organization dedicated to protecting, restoring and managing the natural resources of the Essex Region.

South Buxton Raceway weekend racing results
submitted by Mike Bennett Photos courtesy of James MacDonald ApexOne Photo Three south Essex drivers took different routes to feature wins on Saturday night at South Buxton Raceway. KingsvilleÕ s Rob Young finished second on the track but was awarded
the Tirecraft Sport Stocks victory when the winner was disqualified. CottamÕ s Rob Quick won his second straight and fourth Tirecraft MiniMods feature of the season without crossing the finish line as the curfew went into effect when the race was red-flagged for an accident.

LeamingtonÕ s Joel Dick won his feature the more traditional way Ð taking the checkered flag for the second week in a row and 10th time this season in the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modifieds. Young led the first 15 laps before Grande PointeÕ s Tyler Lozon took the lead after a restart and led the rest of the way. Lozon was disqualified for refusing to remove part of his engine in postrace inspection. Ò I donÕ t want to win that way, I would have rather won it fair and square,Ó said Young, who was inducted into the Checker Flag Speedway Hall of Fame in 2012. Ò But if you donÕ t want

to tear your motor down É Ó he paused. Ò Anyway, IÕ mglad I won,Ó said Young, who also won a feature on June 7. HarrowÕ s Patrick Lajeunesse finished fourth and RuthvenÕ s Brad Bloomfield was seventh. EssexÕ s Doris Lajeunesse was uninjured when a fire broke out in his engine compartment early in the feature. CottamÕ s Tiffany Ellis was awarded a heat race win after she finished second to Lozon, who was stripped of that flag as well. Quick completed a second straight perfect night, winning his heat and feature for five straight checkered flags. He passed KingsvilleÕ s Larry Hart for the lead on lap three and they finished one-two when the race was halted on lap 15. Ò Maybe, but it was the longest race IÕ ve ever won,Ó Quick answered, when asked if it was his strangest win ever. Ò Just when youÕ re getting the checkered, the caution comes out instead, and you have to do it all over again,Ó said Quick. The race was called by track management after
the delay for an accident on the green-whitecheckered finish went past midnight. Dick led all but three laps in the Modified feature and survived two attempts at green-whitecheckered finishes to win his track leading 10th win in 14 races this season. Ò I screwed up and he capitalized on it,Ó Dick said about losing the lead momentarily to ShrewsburyÕ s Jim Dale Jr. Ò Our car still hasnÕ t been the same car since the wreck, so weÕ re still trying to get the balance back in it,Ó said Dick, who also won his heat race Saturday and has gone five-for-five the last two weeks following serious damage in a multi-car wreck on July 19.
Belle RiverÕ s Mario Toniolo finished third, WindsorÕ s Dan McIntyre seventh and CottamÕ s Denis DeSerrano ninth. TilburyÕ s Kyle Patrick won the Southern Ontario Sprints feature, going from third to the lead when he passed OhswekenÕ s Glenn Styres and AltonÕ s Keith Dempster between turns three and four on lap 16 and led the final nine circuits. WallaceburgÕ s Mike Lewis led all 20 laps to win his second Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Model feature. Tate OÕ Leary, a 12-year-old from Port Lambton, won his second feature of the season in the Autotech Bombers.
