that would outline how to apply restrictions or create designated public areas that focus on no smoking around children at Town-owned facilities. Councillor Bill Baker put this motion forward, which was Council supported. Administration will look at town-owned recreational facilities to determine what each facility should incorporate as far as a ban or designated areas with consideration if they are youth-orientated or multi-purpose. For example, heÕ d like to see smoke free facilities at areas designed for youth. At the meeting, residents and local organizations were able to provide input on what they would like to see regarding the issue. Essex Council has been talking about potentially implementing an outdoor smoke free bylaw at town-owned facilities for the past year to protect youth against second hand smoke and to potentially around youth de-normalize smoking. Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter highlighted the background of this issue.

She explained that on June 3, 2013 there was a report to Council to determine its interest with an Outdoor Smoke Free bylaw. At that time, it was recommended the bylaw be drafted to include recreational facilities, sports fields, playgrounds, parks and parkettes, trails (excluding roadside trails), the beach at Colchester Harbour, and the Marina (excluding private boats). At that time, Council moved to postpone the consideration. The Windsor Essex County Health Unit requested Essex consider a bylaw prohibiting smoking at outdoor municipal facilities. At the June 17, 2013 meeting, Council received the related report that included background information and sought support for a bylaw that would prohibit smoking on municipally owned or leased properties, and that a bylaw be drafted. Further, on July 8, a council resolution instructed administration to prepare a report with

Public input sought for multi-year accessibility plan by Sylene Argent In conjunction with Essex Administration, the Essex Accessibility Advisory Committee (EAAC) has created a Multi-Year Accessibility Plan. This document has been designed to prevent, pinpoint, and address accessibility barriers within the Municipality though to 2017. The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan will be updated at least once every five years. This Plan will help with inclusiveness and will have its members take on various initiatives that will improve accessibility in Town-related services, programs, and facilities. The community has until June 11 to give feedback on this plan, and the EAAC looks forward to receiving input on this piece of legislative work to prevent and remove accessibility barriers
around the Municipality. In addition to removing barriers, the Town has to create this Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, as it is required to do so under the accessibility planning requirements for the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). In the draft report, which is available for viewing online at www. essex.ca by clicking on Ò News and NoticesÓ under the Town Hall section, it notes that one in seven Ontarians have a disability. It is anticipated, as the population ages, that statistic will increase to 1 in 5 in just over two decades. This report highlights what the EAAC does. Its members provide insight on accessibility for site plans and rezoning applications, review plans for new

The EAAC will also review all accessible parking in the municipality for recommended changes, visit all public Townowned or leased facilities to identify barriers and provide input on findings related to the removal of snow on sidewalks for persons with disabilities. Councillor Sherry Bondy sits on the EAAC and noted this committee does a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure the Town is as accessible as possible. Being accessible is always a work in progress. Ò We are always working to try and improve accessibility standards,Ó Bondy noted.

Community invited to attend recreation master plan open houses by Sylene Argent The Town of Essex will host three informal public open houses in the near future to get community input as it pertains to the
Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan that administration is drafting. It is hoped these events, which will each take place in a different area within
the municipality, will attract a great turnout as residents weigh in on what they would like to see within the municipality as far as recreation is
concerned over the next five to ten years. Director of Community Services, Doug Sweet, said the Master Plan would
help Council and administration identify gaps in current recreational services. It will also help point administration in the correct direction
to identify future opportunities. Since amalgamation, Essex has not created a Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan. This Plan, Sweet said, will help administration evaluate current services and facilities and will act as a road map for the next decade. This plan will be an ongoing document that would be revisited and reevaluated every year. Its content will change as time progresses, but it will be a useful roadmap tool as the Town heads into the future. It is important to hear from everyone at the open houses, Sweet noted. The Town wants to hear what parents want in the municipality as far as their preschoolers and youth are concerned. And staff wants to hear from seniors as to what programs or services they would like. They also want input from the demographic that falls between those two age groups. Ò What we want to know is what we can do to enhance the Town,Ó Sweet said. Ò We really want the public to be a part of this [process].Ó The informal open house meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, June 11 at the Harrow and Colchester South Community Centre, Tuesday, June 17 at the Essex Centre Sports Complex and Thursday, June 19 at the McGregor Community Centre. These events will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Residents can attend the event at any time during that time slot for their convenience. As this is an informal meeting, attendees will be free to read information available at various stations, speak to Town representatives, and forward their opinions or hopes for the future of recreation within the Town of Essex. The open houses are being held in different areas within the

spaces from $100 to $300. The TownÕ s website also has many accessibility features to ensure content is available in many formats. The EAAC is also hoping to put a new lift in at the Aquatics Centre. This item was budgeted this year. If residents have any comments or suggestions they would like add to the Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, they are encourage to forward them. Even after the Plan is adopted, the EAAC always wants to hear feedback from the public to get ideas on to how to improve accessibility and inclusiveness in Town.

Sometimes, she added, an issue a resident sees may not have been identified by the Committee, so it’s always good to attend one of the EAAC meetings, or contact the Town Clerk at 519-776-7336 to forward ideas or concerns. Anyone interested in this subject is also encouraged to give thought to becoming a future EAAC member.

community because each area has different needs, Sweet noted. Through these open houses, the Town is trying to discover trends with each demographic. Sweet also urges area residents to visit www. essex.ca to fill out a related survey. This survey has 37 questions and its direction is to discover how the Town is doing currently with its services and programming, and how residents would like to see that grow. This will help pinpoint gaps and inefficiencies. Facility users and residents have until July 11 to complete the survey. These surveys are also available at area recreational facilities such as the arena and the Aquatics Centre. Those who attend the open house will also have an opportunity to fill out a
survey there. So far, Sweet has heard residents want family type activities and services to be available, such as park enhancements and the addition of more splash pads. Having a Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan drafted could also aid the Town in being successful in obtaining grants when they become available from higher tiers of government.
Sweet hopes, after information and feedback is collected from the community, to draft a preliminary draft Master Plan that will be presented to Council his fall. From there, another public open house will be scheduled and the document will be updated for potential Council adoption by the end of the year.

Live & Uncensored ••• Comment Richard Parkinson •••
Pedestrian and cyclist safety a concern I was happy when I heard that thereÕ s interest in creating a multi-use trail on Maidstone Ave that would run from Talbot St. to Highway #3 (the Bypass). I often see pedestrians and cyclists on that stretch of road. This includes Essex District High School students heading to Tim Hortons or McDonaldÕ s at lunch or during spares. Pedestrians are forced to walk a strip of grass on the south (Canadian Tire) side of the road. Cyclists dare the roads. When the weather is fine, my concerns for pedestrians are less than when the weather is foul and they are forced to wade through snow. I am always concerned about the cyclists as there is a decent amount of traffic on the road, which includes large trucks. A multi-use trail on that road that could be used by pedestrians and cyclists would be a blessing. I think it could also be a lifesaver.
If a pedestrian or cyclist were hit, you can bet there would Ð at the very least - be a loud reaction. Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.Ó The sooner that pedestrians and cyclists can be properly accommodated on that road, the better. It is also important to note that it is a gateway into our community. A well laid-out trail with decent lighting could be a great cosmetic improvement. It would also provide an excuse to tackle the weeds that are there and clear a good swatch of them away along the trail. I know there is some debate as to who is responsible for that bit of road. The buck gets passed around. Working on a joint-project is a great way to bring these parties together to do something positive for the community as a whole. When it comes to a multi-use trail there, it’s time to start walking-the walk.

Letter to the Editor I want to share a story that happened to my family this weekend in Essex at Spoons My husband and I along with our three boys (the oldest is five and two year old twins) decided to go out for breakfast Saturday morning before heading to the Meet The Machine at the WFCU. We decided to give Spoons a try. Having the three boys under the age of 6 “Dinning In” restaurants that donÕ t have slides or other play areas are usually a last resort. But we decided to tough it out. We grabbed a booth that was out of the sun but close enough to the exit in case someone decided to cause a scene. Once we ordered our food a lovely couple from the other side of the restaurant was getting ready to leave, not because we were loud but because they had finished their breakfast. Since we were sitting by the door I made some small talk, explaining that we don’t get out very often with the boys and I hope we didnÕ t bother her too bad. She replied, “Oh my goodness, no. It’s just nice to see young families out with their kids especially in a restaurant.Ó My oldest then piped up and told the lady that his name was J-U-S-T-I-N an that he was five and had broke his elbow because he flipped over the handle bars of his bike and had to get pins. She felt so bad for my son and began to ask him questions. At the same time the gentleman she was with joined her at the door and he too asked Justin about his elbow. Shortly after they said, “have a great time at the machine showÓ and the twins waved and we all said, “Have a good day”. Shortly after our lovely waitress topped up our coffees and asked us if we knew that couple because they just paid for your breakfast. IÕ m not one to be speechless but I was in shock. Fighting back tears I asked her if she was sure. And, yes, they paid for our family of five’s entire breakfast. Holy smokes!
This proves that there are some awesome people in this world. Even now IÕ m in disbelief that this couple that had no idea who we are picked up the entire tab. I would just like to say thank you to that lovely couple, and I would like to let them know that we plan to “pay it Forward.Ó This experience taught our son a very valuable lesson and reminded us that through all the bad there is still a glimmer of hope. I hope you have enjoyed this story. Still in shock, - Dana

Letter to the Editor World War II Recollections As I experienced the 70th anniversary of D Day June 6, 2014, I realize that the entire population of North America was involved in that war in some fashion. I was 15 when the Allies invaded Europe with the mission of retaking the continent and defeating Nazi Germany. The invasion was a culmination of the actions of those who had allied themselves to combat HitlerÕ s attempt to enslave or slaughter all those who were not Arians. General D.W. EisenhowerÕ s strategy for the invasion demonstrated the willingness of free people to cooperate as they made every effort to maintain liberty. In trying to evoke the feelings I had during the days of the war, from 1939 to 1945, I think perhaps exhilaration is the overarching response I had to the entire time. I was 10 years old at the beginning of the conflict. I remember my ambivalence about unfolding events. I resented being too young to participate but was willing to do whatever I could to contribute to my countryÕ s
involvement. I was in fifth grade. We were encouraged to knit scarves and socks for service men. I remember rushing to the window in our one room school to see Harvard trainer or Avro Anson planes fly by. It motivated me to do the handwork even though I hated knitting. When I was 13, teenagers were invited to work in the canning factory during the summer holidays, since most of our young men were overseas. Dehydrated pork and beans were being produced for shipment to Britain. I began to feel that I was finally part of the cause. I worked nights. When I got home in the morning I often helped my father with fieldwork until noon. Five hours sleep was all I needed. I habitually wake after five hours to this day. I remember ration cards that limited the amount of certain foods we could buy. We always had plenty because we were farmers. Our relatives from town lined our veranda on Sunday. They came for meat because it was in short supply and we butchered our own. One of
my fatherÕ s uncles had a garden on wonderful black soil. He made a big barrel of sauerkraut from the cabbage here grew which he contributed to those meals. There was an amazing amount of cooperation during the war years. Movie Tone News kept us appraised of the progress of the hostilities to some degree. Much of it was propaganda intended to keep us from feeling depressed or jaded at the slow progress the allies were making. D Day changed all that. We were inspired to redouble our efforts to support the troops and our faith was reawakened to believe victory was imminent. Films of the invasion, even though heart wrenching in their exposure of the price of deliverance, reinforced our resolve to continue. I am grateful to have been part of the generation molded by that remarkable period in our history. - Isabelle Ferguson
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Famed Essex coaches We think of Essex as a hockey town but it is gratifying to learn that another sport was represented as local athletes were recently inducted into the Windsor Essex County Sports Hall. One is Bill Hogarth who introduced wrestling at Essex High School and guided student Colin Dynes to being a national winner in that sport. We know he won many medals and was outstanding in his category. We are told Hogarth won 13 WECSSAA, 10 SWOSSAA and three OFSAA team championships while 56 athletes
won medals under his guidance, So I think Essex can lay claim to Hogarth being one of our sport heroes and he is on that sport mural at the high school. The other one to be inducted in that sports Hall of Fame does involve hockey. He is Dave Prpich who coached the Essex 73s and guided them to OHA Junior C championship before he went to the Windsor Spitfires. So the town can be proud to learn that two coaches in our midst that brought championship status to our young sports people are being recognized for their accomplishments and that they played a part in Essex sports. The report in the Windsor Star made it known that both the coaches were involved with local youth in their sport category and that gives Essex more publicity for its record as a Sports town.

The Essex Railway Station Restoration 20th Anniversary Celebration
“A Frosty Night at the Station” photo image by eric naylor photography
submitted by Bill Gay What better time to recall a time when pride in our heritage was at a high and to salute those who helped build a wonderful edifice that combines to attract 5,000 persons to on and off site events each year. Essex businessman Gerry Schinkel took over a business founded in 1912 by the Roberts family and made it into the success Schinkel’s Meat Market and Deli is today. It was Gerry’s respect for the past, and love of our rich Essex history that propelled him in a campaign that ended up taking years to restore our beautiful railway station. Gerry left no source of support and promotion to complete the task which now celebrates 20 years. Typically modest, he credits Evelyn Burns, who encouraged him to support a Windsor railway group who worked on weekends to maintain the integrity of the building. Like today, money in support of civic projects is hard to come by. MP Steven Langdon and MPP Pat Hayes brought NDP national leader and Essex native Audrey McLaughlin to town for a gala celebration at the arena to support the campaign. The list of support for “Gerry’s Station” was off and running and never looked back. Today we thank all those Essex and area citizens who helped Gerry and the Save Our Station Committee to complete what railway historians called “one of North America’s most significant railway properties.” Thanks Gerry Schinkel.

promotes accessibility
by Sylene Argent As a way to promote accessibility around the county, John Boyko of the Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee helped organize a wheelchair basketball game at Western Secondary School that involved students, teachers and area dignitaries. This event, Boyko
said, is one that he organized with the school. Similar games have been hosted in the past. Its main purpose is to promote accessibility in the county, such as physical and attitudinal barriers. The tip off had the Western students and teachers take on a dozen participating area mayors and councillors, including
Essex County Warden Tom Bain. The game, Boyko said, is all in fun. All of the contenders in the game played from a wheelchair. This helped everyone interact on the same playing level. The students always respond well to the game and enjoy playing, he said.

area to show support for deployed military personnel and all those who serve, including emergency responders. Squire was pleased that around 50 participants laced up to take part in the annual event this year despite the threat of
rain overhead. The walk typically takes place the day after the annual Cottam Community Yard Sale. Squire started the walk in honour of her son Troy who was deployed as part of the American Army. She was hearing
hosting the Support our Troops walk, Squire said she has received feedback that has helped let soldiers know they are important. Hosting support events like the walk, she noted, means a lot not only to those soldiers and military person but also to veterans. Before the participants kicked off the walk, Squire gave recognition
to Vietnam and WWII veterans to say thank you for their sacrifices. It was especially important to thank WWII veterans, she said, because it was D-Day’s 70th anniversary on June 6, which took place two days before the walk.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
- Parking lot woes Two persons have suggested that I write something about parking in Essex, particularly on the Southland Plaza. They resent the owners of cars that take two spaces. IsnÕ t that just carelessness in lining up oneÕ s vehicle? Or is it with the idea of trying to avoid having another car door damage a shiny new car? My informants assumed it was both reasons although one said, Ò If they are afraid their car will get scratched why donÕ t they park at the far end, away from where most cars are parked?Ó That means at the Talbot Street end, so it is assumed the owners are too lazy to walk that far. It could be they have trouble walking that far with the groceries they buy. Or maybe they think that is too far to have to take the cart to the special place meant for it. The other problem for these two men was the carts being left where they are emptied instead of being taken back to the compound where they are supposed to be stored. The one man was really annoyed when he learned he had to put a loonie in the box to get a cart. He knew he would get it back when he took the cart to the compound but he felt a dollar coin was just too much.
Do you recall when you could get a cart for 25 cents? Then Jeff, the store manage realized that was a bother for his customers so he stopped charging for the carts with a warning. It clearly stated there would not be a charge if the carts were always returned to the compound but if too many were left among the cars in the parking lot, then he would reinstate the charge. These two men had all kinds of remarks to make about people who leave a cart where they empty it. Nasty adjectives and lazy was among the very mild ones. Certainly they referred to those people as inconsiderate and selfish, using rougher terms. There is no doubt those two or three words were accurate description and I am assuming Manager Jeff thought the quarter fee might not be a sufficient incentive for those people to return the shopping cart to its place Were you a guilty one about not returning your cart? Oh no, none of my readers would be guilty of being inconsiderate! And does it annoy you that you now have to use a loonie. Especially when you were an old faithful at doing his or her part in getting a cart free.

Centre. Around 90 youth who live within OPP policed areas in Essex County were selected from their grade six VIP classes to attend the annual Cop Camp to be held at Gess†wood Camp this summer. This camp has a strong leadership theme, where the selected students have an opportunity to have a lot of fun while participating
in many activities on site at the campground and off site as well. These students participate in teambuilding activities and socialize with new friends and members of the OPP. Mackenzie Cassidy of Holy Name Catholic Elementary School is extremely excited to participate in Cop Camp this summer and is looking forward to meeting new
people at the camp. She was delighted to learn she was selected to attend the camp by her teachers. She believes she was selected to participate because she enjoys helping the youth at her school with school-related work. “It’s important for the little kids to have a good role model,” she commented.

Essex pursuing outdoor smoke free initiatives... facilities, splash-pads and skate parks designated smoke free facilities. The majority of respondents wanted to see some form of control over smoking at sports fields, the Colchester Harbour and Beach (excluding private boats), and other municipal facilities. The majority of respondents also indicated that smoking should be permitted anywhere or in designated areas at municipal parks and trails. Potentially this bylaw could look for ways to implement outdoor smoking bans at certain municipal facilities or could incorporate designated smoking areas. The floor was opened up to any residents or groups who wished to
speak to the issue. Essex resident and Essex Centre BIA Chairperson Stephen Bjorkman noted he didnÕ t want to see any smoking at youth facilities such as slash pads and skate parks. He said there should be designated areas for smoking at other municipal facilities where there is a mix of adults and children. Judy Lund and youth volunteers from the Canadian Cancer Society noted smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in Canada, and that abandoned cigarette butts are unsightly and cost money to be disposed of. They commented that Essex and the Windsor-Essex region should brand itself as a place of healthy living. Kristy McBeth,

Manager of Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention with the Windsor-Essex Health Unit commented that the Health Unit and the Canadian Cancer Society are partners with the Go For Health network committed to improving the region. She commented that legislations like this become self-regulated. Ò I always say there is the revolution and then the evolution. The revolution is passing these things, and the evolution is where it becomes common sense and people recognize it and selfregulate,Ó McBeth said, encouraging Essex to consider an outdoor smoke free initiative as she believes it is really important. One resident indicated Essex should take a leadership role on the issue. Another asked why cigarette and like companies are not flipping the bill as it pertains to creating designated areas. Essex Councillor Randy Voakes recognized there is a cost to designating smoking areas. If council chooses to implement a designated smoking area, then he believes Council will protect its residents until the provincial election is over and it implements a policy at that time. At previous
Council meetings, it was discussed that last November, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, Deb Matthews, released the Youth Smoking Prevention Act, of which part of this act included a ban at certain outdoor spaces, including parks and playgrounds. The bill was still being read at QueenÕ s Park, but the fate of the bill is unknown as the province is currently engaged in an election. Councillor Sherry Bondy said she is clear on her position that at playgrounds, recreational facilities, splash pads and skate parks there should not be designated smoking areas because there are youth there, there should be no smoking at all. Ò To me it is pretty black and white here. Anywhere there are children IÕ d like to not see smoking at all,Ó Bondy said. Councillor Bill Baker added he doesnÕ t want to see smoking around children, but doesnÕ t want to deter families from using town-owned facilities. He also had concerns that the Town will spend a lot

of time on it, and then the province may implement a policy in the future. He believes that since many municipalities in the region are investigating or have implemented similar outdoor smoke free areas, the rules will vary from municipality to municipality. Increasing education about the effects of smoking, he noted, helps make people aware of the potential consequences. He added that after hearing public input at the meeting that designated areas are probably something that makes more sense than implementing setbacks from facilities. The question is what should the municipality do about this potential policy. Councillor John Scott said that in order to enforce this there needs to be designated area outside the area that has banned smoking. Mayor Ron McDermott said this policy would be of benefit to youth. He believes there is a need for designated areas to be implemented.

Former Essex residents visit area for faith mission
Patricia and Don Grondin, formerly of Essex, revisited the area last week to embark on a faith mission.
by Sylene Argent Don and Patricia Grondin have been together for forty years, having first met at Essex District High School. After completing college, the couple moved to Calgary to pursue their careers and build a life together. Throughout the years, the couple has returned to Essex to visit friends and family. Last week, their visit had a special purpose, as it was part of their faith mission in Ò Claiming Canada for Christ.Ó The Grondins have selected southerly, easterly, northerly, and westerly points on the Canadian map to continue a mission that their church, the North West Family Church, and Pastors, Roy and Marilyn Holmquist, began in Calgary. In Ò Claiming Canada for Christ,Ó Don and Patricia recently went to Point Pelee to place
four stakes in the ground. All four wooden stakes had three sides engraved, one with the word Ò Canada SouthÓ for its location, and the other two inscriptions said Ò Canada is GodÕ s Country,Ó and cited Psalm 72:8, Ò He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.Ó They drove these stakes into the ground. Stakes will also be placed near the Yukon and Alaska border and in Inuvik in the Northwest
Territories this summer, as well as Cape Spear in Newfoundland in 2015. Don and Patricia got this idea from their church, which held a similar mission at its location in Calgary, but the couple wanted to do this Canada wide. They have traveled to these locations before and were both thinking they should take on the project. This mission, they noted, is part of wanting a safe country.

Cottam Yard Sale - opportunity to raise funds for good causes
Alex’s Walking Warriors hosted a fundraising yard sale during the Cottam wide event on Saturday. The proceeds of their event will go towards Relay for Life.
by Sylene Argent There were plenty of deals, rare treasures, and unique finds to be found on Saturday as residents in the Cottam community teamed up to host the annual Cottam Community Yard Sale. The sunny Saturday afternoon offered a chance
for families to visit Cottam and spend time together outdoors, looking for items they could use at their own homes. This annual event also provided an opportunity for some of the area neighbours to host yard sales as fundraisers for charities and non-profit organizations.
The family of Karen Archer decided to use the community yard sale event to raise money for a good cause. She called on the forces of her friends and family members that make up AlexÕ s Walking Warriors, a Relay for Life team, to help organize the yard sale that will benefit the Canadian Cancer Society through their team. Archer noted that AlexÕ s Walking Warriors was formed around five years ago, and this team has been organizing a yard sale as a fundraiser to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society through the Relay for Life event for the past three years. The team was formed to support her son, Alex, who was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of five. Alex finished his first round of treatment in March 2012 and his cancer went into remission. He had a relapse in April of last year but is once again in remission. Alex, now 9, attends Gosfield North Public School and plays soccer, hockey and baseball. He has one more year of treatment but he feels well, his mother said. ItÕ s important for AlexÕ s Walking Warriors to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society through the annual Relay for Life event, so that that organization can continue to conduct cancer-related research and support families who have a loved one who is battling the disease.

South Buxton Raceway
photo by James MacDonald Pictured above car racer Rob Young took two checkered flags last weekend at South Buxton Raceway.
Rob Young has waited so long for his first career feature win at South Buxton Raceway, he took the checkered flag twice Ð just in case. Young, who first raced at South Buxton in 1982 as a 22-year-old rookie, won the Tirecraft Sport Stocks feature on Saturday night, taking the lead midway through the 20-lap race. Young was going through the final turn with the checkered flag in sight but a late caution set the stage for a greencheckered finish. The Kingsville driver
held off the field on the one-lap shootout for the win, but everyone behind Young continued to race on cool-down lap. Ò I took the checkered and figured I had it won, but everyone kept racing, so I had to keep going just to be sure,Ó Young said of the confusing finish. Ò I could hear them coming like a bunch of killer bees, so I had to hammer down on back straightaway, even though I knew I won it a lap ago,Ó he said. Several cars crashed after crossing the finish
line a second time while EssexÕ s Doris Lajeunesse came back around and stopped at the line, thinking he had won the race. But the checkered flag went to Young, who was ecstatic with his first career South Buxton feature win. Ò IÕ ve waited a long time for this, now IÕ ve won it, IÕ ve won it, IÕ ve won it,Ó he said emphatically to the approval of the large crowd. Young raced briefly at South Buxton in the early 1980s but concentrated on his asphalt racing at the former Windsor Checker Flag Speedway, where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012. After taking more than a decade off, he returned to South Buxton in 2008 where he has finished in the top 10 in points every season, won more than a dozen preliminary races and one non-points 10lap feature in the 2012 Shootout.
Ò IÕ m a lot older than a lot of these guys, and I was saying to Jerry (Lewis) last year, if I just had what these guys had, I could race with them,Ó Young said of his longtime racing partner. Now, the 54-yearold Young has the same equipment as the top runners in the Sport Stocks class with his new car. Ò My wife (Cathy) bought me this,Ó he pointed at his new machine. Ò The old one was a full-frame car and weighed 280 pounds more than anyone else. Ò Now we have a tubular car with a Howe
10
chassis and a Camaro front clip, itÕ s the same stuff that Steve (Shaw) and Eren (Vanderiviere) have,Ó he said of the classÕ s top two drivers. Young followed the leader ChathamÕ s Eric Vanderiviere through the first 10 laps before using his old car, driven by EssexÕ s Dillon Moody, as a block to take the lead for good. Four late cautions, however, erased YoungÕ s lead but he held off challenges from both Vanderiviere brothers and Lajeunesse on the ensuing restarts to hang on to his lead. Lajeunesse was credited with a secondplace finish in the wild,
with MerlinÕ s Eren Vanderiviere, WindsorÕ s West Bertozzi and Eric Vanderiviere rounded out the top five. CottamÕ s Tiffany Ellis finished 11th, Moody 12th and WheatleyÕ s Steve Clements 13th. Young also won the pursuit, as he has four checkered flags through the first six weeks, one shy of his 2013 total. LeamingtonÕ s Joel Dick saw his feature win streak end at five in the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modifieds. Dick took the lead on lap seven and had just taken the half-way signal

Brighten my life the way he did, this sweet and gentle man. I know I’ll wait until we meet, upon the other shore. Where life goes on forever, and we shall part no more.

Harrow United Church Submitted by Larry Anderson We welcome everyone to join our worship services which begin at 10:30 am. Your presence is a blessing to us and we hope that our church family will be a blessing to you! The Ministry of Music last Sunday included a beautiful duet by Bill Gorick and Jeff Gorick (In the Garden) as well as a wonderful solo by Greg Iler (The Old Rugged Cross). Reverend Staples’ reflective message was entitled “GodService not Self-Service”. We are so grateful to the many volunteers we have at Harrow United Church. Last week, we especially honored several of our members for their faithful service through the years. Special, heartfelt thanks was extended to Elsie Ring, Bill and Gloria Gorick, as well as Carl and Elinor Huffman. Beginning June 20th and for the five Friday’s that follow (4- 7 pm), Harrow United Church will have a BBQ Drive-thru. Just pull into the church parking lot for foot long or regular hot dogs, chips and drinks. Proceeds will go towards various church projects. Harrow United Church will once again join with our friends of the Harrow Mennonite Church for worship during the months of July and August.

submitted to EFP The Essex Yellowjacket Midget Minor team travelled to Simcoe last weekend to compete in a Midget Major tournament. Essex went 4-0 beating North London, Port Dover, Simcoe, and Woodslee. In the final, Essex faced Simcoe and were trailing 4-3 before they skies opened up to begin a rain delay. Unfortunately, when the game resumed, the Jackets could not get on track, losing in the final. The Game MVPs were Jared Fuerth (2x), Cam Lavigne, Nash Prieur, and Ben Curtis. Congratulations on a great weekend playing older teams and showing that you are a very talented group of ball players.

Lots of beauties at Festival of Cars He said that the car is a heavy one, about two tons, and now has a three-speed automatic with overdrive. There arenÕ t too many of the Chevs left. Ò They used to race them at NASCAR. TheyÕ d roll them and then scrap them. They became extinct.Ó While this yearÕ s Car Festival only drew a couple dozen cars and trucks there were a lot of vendors who had everything from car parts Essex’s John McFadden with his 1957 Chev.
by Fred Groves Walking amongst the rows of glistening chrome, and tons of pride, this yearÕ s Festival of Cars at the Canadian Transportation and Heritage Museum had some real beauties. One of the eye-catchers was John McFaddenÕ s 1957 Chev 150. Ò IÕ ve had it 14 years. My dad had one. It was the grocery go-getter,Ó
said McFadden of Essex. The story of how he came to acquire the classic car is an interesting one. He said he was out West visiting and he was looking through an Auto Trader magazine as he and a friend were in search of an old car. Surprisingly enough, he spotted his future pride and joy and found out that the current owner lived in Windsor so McFadden did
not have to go far to get it. His Chev 150 will be one of the many at this yearÕ s Essex Fun Fest car show that moves back to the downtown area on July 12. Ò We take it out for long drives. ItÕ s comfortable and itÕ s safe. IÕ ve been offered a lot more for it than what I paid for it,Ó said McFadden who has no intention of parting with the Ô 57.
to antique gas pumps. Steve Phillips brought his 1954 Chev half-ton pickup to the event. He said they started making his vehicle in 1947, right after the war, and made them up until 1955 when Ford also started coming up with a similar version. Ò You either love it or hate it. I love it; itÕ s unique. There are aspects of having an old vehicle that suits my personality,Ó said Phillips who lives on Cedar Island near
Kingsville. When he got his truck in 2003, it was what he called a Ò rolling restorationÓ , which meant it was drivable while work was being done on it. Ò ItÕ s a work truck, I take it to the lumber yard. I donÕ t baby it,Ó he said. There were lots of head turners at the car show including a sharp looking 1930 Model A pickup along with a Dodge Dart, a Futura, lots of Chevs and Pontiacs.

Mud Run is for fun, not competitive Windsor-built 1937 Dodge celebrates 100 years of Dodge
Brian Owens’ 1937 Dodge D5 rumble seat coupe
A letter arrived from Brian Owens in Ajax, Ontario: Ò Hi Bill, I purchased my 1937 Dodge D5 rumble seat coupe many years ago and spent five years locating the many NOS (New Old Stock) parts for the restoration. I started the project in 1998. It took me nine years to finish it. Ò In the spring of 2005, it was back on the road and I have driven it to Chrysler meets in Vermont and Michigan, and to local events. In June of this year, we are going to Auburn Hills, Michigan, for the 100th anniversary of the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company.Ó BrianÕ s 1937 Dodge D5 coupe with rumble seat had a Windsor factory list price of $895 and Toronto delivered for $1052. The D5 series had a wheelbase of 115 inches, identical to the American Dodge and three inches more than the two smaller Canadianbuilt Dodges based on the Plymouth. Brian Owens’ Dodge has a flathead six engine of 218 cubic inches with 87 horsepower. Ò Switch to Dodge and save MoneyÓ said the ads. As early as 1903, John and Horace Dodge began building car parts for other manufacturers in Detroit and made a fortune. One of their best customers was Henry Ford, and the Dodge Brothers (as they called themselves) delivered engines to FordÕ s new company by taking them through the streets of Detroit on wagons hauled by teams of horses. In 1914 they decided to build a Dodge Brothers car, and the first one, labeled a 1915 model, rolled through the streets of Detroit in November of 1914. It was an instant hit, and when the two brothers died in 1920, they were multi-millionaires and left their families very wealthy. In the early years, just about every Dodge had a 3-speed floor shift with a shift pattern opposite to everyone else. First gear was where you would expect to find reverse, second was where first would normally be, third was where second was, and reverse where third was. This was extremely practical because once you got the car rolling along in high gear, the shift lever was up against the dashboard and out of the way of passengersÕ legs. However, all other companies used the pattern we know today and Dodge by the 1920s fell into line. In 1928, Walter Chrysler brought out a new low-priced car called the Plymouth. He also brought out a new car for the mediumpriced field called the DeSoto. In that same year, he bought the Dodge Company, making him a serious rival to GM and Ford. ThatÕ s when people began talking about the Big Three. 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.

by Fred Groves Get out your cameras Ð this is going to be a fun one. On Saturday afternoon as many as 1,000 participants, mostly women, will test their physical abilities and resilience at the Dirty Diva 5km Mud Run at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village. Ò It is a 5km course filled with mud obstacles. It is for women but it is open to the public,Ó said organizer Shawn Lippert. Beginning at 3:30 pm, the mudders will go through a 5km course that includes a giant inflatable pool that measures 20x40 feet and will be filled with mud. Ò They climb in and they have to crawl through it. Another obstacle is the washing machine, itÕ s a tunnel and itÕ s filled with foam.Ó There will be numerous mud pits, but Lippert, who coached volleyball at the University of Windsor, insists is not a competition. Ò Nothing is hard. Everything is geared to those mildly fit. We call it a run, but itÕ s not a run, itÕ s for fun,Ó he said. What the Dirty Diva Mud Run does is promoted Ô SisterhoodÕ
and brings a real sense of accomplishment to those who take part. Lippert said the idea is to create a memory. He has hosted the popular Zombie Run in Windsor that returns Sept. 4. That event has also been staged in London and Niagara Falls and then there is the Super Heroes Run. Ò People are looking for something that stimulates the senses,Ó said Lippert. Perhaps the best part of
SaturdayÕ s event is that it is not a competition. No one gets a prize for coming in first and the run is not even timed. Lippert described it as an adventure with texture. Ò We encourage people who have never run before. You can say, at the end of the day, that you did a 5k.Ó Anyone wishing more information about the Dirty Diva Mud Run can contact Shawn Lippert at 519-791-1492.

Drouillard, Ravens make it two straight by Fred Groves When Essex Ravens running back Eli Fera set an Ontario Varsity Football League record Saturday night, one of the first to congratulate him on the sidelines was longtime teammate Chris Drouillard, Jr. Drouillard is in his final season with the Tealand-Black and helped the Ravens to a 54-28 route over the visiting Mississauga Warriors. It was the second-straight
win for Essex that now sits a 2-1. “Chris is a talented young kid and he can do a lot of things,Ó said head coach Glen Mills. Rising through the Ravens program, Drouillard is a multisport athlete that plays baseball, and with the Essex District High School Red Raiders, was instrumental in helping the senior boys basketball team make it all the way to OFSAA.
“I want to improve as an all-round player, catch every ball and help my team anyway I can,” said Drouillard a lanky wide receiver. So far this year, he has not been on quarterback Anthony BontorinÕ s radar very much as fellow wideouts Chris Tannous and Matteo DelBrocco seem to be more of a target. “That does not matter, it’s a team sport that’s all that matters,” said

Drouillard. “He has to make those catches. He has to be a leader on this football team,” said Mills. He was all smiles as he embraced Fera after his league record that saw him score seven touchdowns. The final one came with just 30 seconds left in the game, a one-yard plunge that was set up by speedy Jacoby Jones. Essex will try and make it three in a row on Saturday when they travel to London to take on the Mustangs and then are back at the University of Windsor to host the Cambridge Lions on June 21. The OVFL Varsity Ravens are playing their home games this year at Windsor University while the peewee, bantam and junior varsity squads are at Villanova High School. It is hoped that Essex returns to their home field at Essex District High School, which is undergoing construction.

Ò I still love the grass. I love that place, itÕ s a great atmosphere. We will play where we have to play,Ó said Mills. Against the Warriors on Saturday, Essex held a slim 27-21 lead at the half
and dominated on both sides of the ball in the second half. Ò You take away three plays and this is a 54-7 football game,” said Mills.
