Essex Fire Chief Ed Pillon celebrates First Responders Day.
See Page 5 for adoption info.
by Sylene Argent On Thursday, May 1st Essex area emergency personnel were sent thank-you messages throughout the day as part of the inaugural First Responders Day.
This special recognition acknowledges emergency responders put themselves in harmÕ s way to save the lives of others on a continual basis. At the Tuesday, April 22 meeting of Essex
Council, council declared May 1, First ResponderÕ s Day. Essex joined many Ontario communities with this recognition as part of the ProvinceÕ s First ResponderÕ s Day Act. Essex Fire Chief Ed
Pillon was thrilled Essex moved to establish the Day. Ò ItÕ s a very worthwhile gesture initiated by the provincial government and handed down to municipalities to
recognize first responders and the work they do and the care they provide,Ó he said. What is nice about First Responders Day, he said, is that it recognizes a variety of emergency personnel, including firefighters, police, paramedics, dispatchers, trainers, and those who supply support to the various occupations. Pillon thanked the municipality for declaring May 1 as First Responders Day. Ò This is a motivational tool to enhance the first responders in the duties they do,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s a kind Ô thank-youÕ to any first responder and is greatly appreciated,Ó he continued. “[As a first responder] you never know what type of incident youÕ re responding to; itÕ s an unknown risk youÕ re never aware of. A Ô thankyouÕ goes a long way.Ó Pillon also thanked all first responders and their families, recognizing how emergency response careers can sometimes put a strain on oneÕ s personal and family lives. Ò Their patience

and understanding is appreciated,Ó he commented. ItÕ s very important, Pillon added, for municipalities to recognize the tools and skills that are needed in these trades to carry out the work. Essex, he said, is very understanding. Ò People must realize volunteers or fulltime firefighters all carryout the same training and seek the same qualifications,”
he said. In addition to getting funding for necessary equipment to keep firefighters safe while responding to emergency situations, Pillon is looking forward to receiving a 70-foot platform truck for Essex Station 1. This truck is currently getting refurbished and he hopes to have it ready for use in six weeks. Essex Fire & Rescue is also looking at upgrading
its self-contained breathing apparatuses to the latest standards for all three Essex locations. Ò This will enhance the safety and durability of these units,Ó he noted. E m e r g e n c y Preparedness Week follows First Responders Day, May 4-10. Police Week is May 11-16 and Emergency Medical Services Week is May 2531. How much experience

Postal service in Essex set to change in a big way by Fred Groves Is Canada Post heading towards privatization? That is the impression that the local Canadian Union of Postal Workers is getting and it thinks that it might not be in the too distant future. Ò We feel they are going to try and privatize Canada Post,Ó says CUPW Local 500 president Sue Markham, a letter carrier who works out of Amherstburg. The Essex Post Office will soon be going through a downsizing as its counter service and retail outlet will be decreased. For Local 500 vice-president Jennifer Grant, that does not seem to be the right way to go. Ò We should be expanding these services. We are a profitable company,Ó says Grant who works the counter
in Essex and was a mail carrier for 19 years. Canada Post, however, feels differently and has created a fivepoint plan that will not only see the downsizing of post offices, but the elimination of letter carriers. That five-point plan includes community mailboxes, a new approach to pricing, expanding convenience through postal franchises, streamlining operations and addressing the cost of labor. Ò They have a mandate to downsize their corporation entity. They are doing it gradually,Ó says Markham. In a recent media report, Canada Post CEO Deerpak Chopra said that there is going to be a 50 percent decline in postal business over the next five years but that
the crown corporation will never disappear. He noted that home delivery will stop, being replaced by the community mail boxes, postal rates will go up and that 6,000 to 8,000 jobs will be eliminated. According to Markham, that translates into four jobs in Amherstburg, three in Essex, five in Kingsville and seven in Leamington. Ò We want to expand services. We want to have postal banking. Canada Post did a four-year study on it. We can expand the service. It doesnÕ t have to die.Ó The Essex post office will be going through some renovations in the next few weeks that will see its lobby made smaller, and the retail service drastically reduced. Ò They originally slated the construction for May 10 but weÕ ve been told itÕ s being delayed,Ó

says Grant. Markham is certain that the Essex postal outlet, in the federal building at the corner of Gordon and Fox, might not be the place to go any more to buy stamps, mail letters and ship parcels. Ò They are canvassing Essex for a willing participant. We sill have to have a corporate outlet,Ó says Markham. Grant says that Essex residents are not pleased with the elimination of home mail delivery and the shift in the way postal services will be handled. Ò They are outraged. TheyÕ ve asked how to stop it and we tell them to call their Member of Parliament,Ó she says. It is not known when home delivery will stop in Essex.

Live & Uncensored ••• Comment Richard Parkinson •••
Exercise your right Last week, the Ontario Liberals couldnÕ t broker a deal that was sweet enough to convince the other parties to prop up their minority government. As a result, we have a June election. ItÕ s the often fate of minority governments to die prematurely. I canÕ t remember when the last one survived a full term. In order to survive, a minority government requires the cooperation of the other parties to carry the vote in QueenÕ s Park or, federally, the House of Commons. Today, cooperation is in very limited supply so toppling or not toppling a minority government becomes a part of the strategy. When it comes to elections, I often think, Ô As time marches forward, things stay the same.Õ IÕ ve been able to vote for nearly 30 years and I think IÕ ve managed to exercise that right in every election Ð municipal, provincial and federal Ð that has occurred in that time. I do remember purposely destroying my ballot in my early twenties. Back in the day (a few years ago), I found elections to be exciting affairs, especially on election night. That was because back in the day you got to go to a polling station and cast your vote. You put pencil to paper and Ô XÕ marked the spot. After you voted, you rushed home to watch the TV and listen to the radio at the same time, waiting in anticipation for the results to come in. The closer the election race, the more thrilling the ride. It was a process that seemed to give the act of voting some greater importance. Now, you can sit at home and vote and itÕ s not as exciting anymore. In the case of municipal elections, the moment of anticipation has been reduced to the time it takes for a struck match to flare up. The results just appear
- all at once. Despite all that though, the election race is still exciting. You get to meet the candidates and explore the issues. You might even be able to be the agent of change with your vote. I know itÕ s crazy that I have to say it but I do. It is paramount for people in a democracy to vote. It amazes me that we have such a low turnout at the polls Ð often because of apathy and laziness. There are many countries in the world where a citizenÕ s vote really means nothing because elections are rigged or the only party to vote for is the party that is in power and has always been in power. People are excluded from voting in some countries because of their sex, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, race, culture, and the list goes on. In Canada, there are very few restrictions on who can vote and who canÕ t vote. ItÕ s basically open to all. ItÕ s very true that people fought and died for our freedom, for our right to vote. We should never forget that. We should consider ourselves lucky that we can openly research, explore and question the policies of the political parties that want to represent us, that our politicians arenÕ t hand-picked henchmen but people who voluntarily seek public office, that there are no menacing guards of the regime glaring at us as we tip-toe up the ballot box. We have three elections in front of us Ð a provincial election in June, a municipal election in October and a federal election not too far ahead. Those are three times we get to celebrate the fact that we can actively play a part in who governs our nation.
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch The upside of loss We are all sorry to learn that our Essex 73Õ s were washed off the board for the Ontario championship, but we are very proud that our team won the Great Lakes Junior C title. There is one advantage. There will not be a heavy cost of traveling to other towns to compete. Fat solace that! But it is a factor to be considered In the early years, after the team was organized, it swept to the top. There came a time when there was such an expense account it was debatable as to whether the team could continue in competition. If you donÕ t remember, you can guess what happened. Residents of the town, business people and the team members themselves donated to the fund until the debt was paid. Everyone wanted to be certain the team was able to continue. There are several angles to be considered. There will
not be the extremely exciting games at the arena because there are no more games to be played, and there was never any tight competition. Also, that meant fewer games of home competition. No running right up to the last seven. No competition so keen that it had the spectators jumping up and down in their seats and going home hoarse, with a sore throat from cheering and yelling so much. On the other side of the ledger there will be less revenue for the arena. And, of course, less travel costs for the same reason. Of course, the young team members today are not the same as those who took the all-Ontario trophy in the early years but that scarcely enters into the equation. This is the Junior C team to beat in the Great Lakes division and that is what is important. We know they played hard and well and we donÕ t want them to be discouraged. We are still very proud that we have an Essex 73Õ s Great Lakes championship team, having won that title three consecutive years in a row.

Instead of the tractor-trailer stopping at the stop sign, the driver went right through the part of the intersection with the ‘Do Not Enter’ sign. The truck was going so fast I could not get the company name off the vehicle the plate 16orCENTRE ST.,number. ESSEXIf I did, I would have called the police.

SOMM attends Wings and Wheels event
by Sylene Argent On Saturday, the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association opened its hangar doors to host its annual Wings and Wheels event. The local Southern Ontario Military Muster group and its subcommittee, which is looking to establish a Spitfire monument in

Essex Centre, were in attendance to support the event and promote their own causes. The Wings and Wheels event included an opening ceremony with a plane flyover. Glen Mitchell was also on hand to share his book Ò A Bad Penny Always Comes BackÓ with event-goers. SOMM member
Linda Iler noted there were around 40 different classic and antique cars on display during the show in addition to military vehicles, including a Bren Gun Carrier and a jeep. At the car show event visitors were able to judge their top choices for honourable recognition. This was the first event at which the
Spitfire Committee has been at to promote its intention of establishing a replica monument in Essex Centre to honour all Essex County airmen. The group made this project known to Essex Council at the April 7 Essex Council meeting. The wingspan of this replica monument would be 36Õ 10Ó and would be made of fiberglass. This monument would be painted as it appeared on D-Day (June 6, 1944). It will also help honour area resident and Spitfire Ace, Jerry Billing. In April, Council accepted the proposal in principal and turned it over to administration to look into the details of the project. Talking about the proposed monument at the Wings and Wheels event, Iler said, was interesting and grabbed some attention at the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association museum. A couple of the event attendees
signed up to volunteer on that committee, she said. Others made contributions. Iler is looking forward to helping organize the upcoming Military Muster to be held on the grounds of the Essex Centre Sports Complex
on August 16 and 17. This show honours veterans and military history and the community can enjoy military displays, vehicles, and reenactments.

Rotary seeks support for Little Free Libraries Member of the Rotary Club of Essex, Neil McBeth, made a presentation to Council in hopes of getting support
to install six to ten Little Free Library boxes on town property within Essex. “One of the mandates of Rotarians is to develop education and literacy,Ó McBeth said. He said a Rotarian in Minnesota started this project. These little libraries are now found in 55 countries. There are at least 16000 of these boxes registered with the organization. He sought permission to place some of these Little Free Libraries on Town facilities. Some of these boxes will be installed with partners, he noted. He wants to place them in areas like Sadlers’ Park, which is a park the Rotary Club has supported for many years. That box, and others placed outdoors, would likely be taken down in the winter. Other places these Little Free

was minimal uptake on the low-income vouchers. The report noted the family income level was found to be too low. Councillor Sherry Bondy asked that if the low-income threshold was found to be still too low, could Council revisit it. Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter said that was possible. Bondy noted that if Essex really wants to make headway in controlling the pet population, the low income portion of the program needs to be accessible for residents to tap into, Essex will still have problems controlling the pet population.

Essex Town Council Notes for Monday, May 5th... And the third recommendation asked that the Town of Essex Urban Design Guidelines for Downtown Harrow and Essex Centre be approved as a guideline document to assist program business owners, municipal staff and Council in the submission and evaluation of projects and grant applications. In the report to Council it noted the associated bylaw and the accompanying documents establish a community improvement plan and development guidelines for downtown Essex Centre. June as Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Awareness Month Essex Council moved
the correspondences from the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario requesting Council to proclaim June as Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Awareness Month in the Town of Essex. Franco-Ontario Day Essex Council moved to support the request sent from the Conseil Scolaire Catholique Providence to declare September 25 as Franco-Ontario Day and that a flag be raised to honour the legacy of Franco-Ontarians. Funeral Professionals Week Essex Council moved to proclaim May 4-11 as Funeral Professionals Week. This request was sent from the Board of Funeral Services. Admin to look into snow removal fines for those with special needs Councillor Randy Voakes brought up the issue of snow removal for those with special needs. He received a letter on behalf of a resident that indicated this individual had one incident over the winter where he did not have his sidewalk cleared and was charged
$178.50 plus tax. This individual is not able to shovel the sidewalk and has relatives do it, but was unable to get someone fast enough in accordance to the Town bylaw at that particular time. This was the only time this occurred, he was told. Voakes wanted to discuss with Council the possibility of creating an extension of the time between a snowfall and clearing sidewalks for those with intellectual or physical disabilities, and if that program would help the situation. He added that perhaps a sticker be placed in the window, if the resident wanted, to indicate there is an extension of time to remove snow for that individual. He believes that would be a good gesture. Councillor Sherry Bondy is on the Accessibility Committee. She appreciated VoakesÕ s intention, but thought the issue and his idea should be sent to the Accessibility Committee so those members could have a discussion about what other towns are doing about similar situations. She noted this could be a Ò touchy

subject.Ó ItÕ s imperative to do research she said. She worries the sticker may put those residents at risk to crime. Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche made the motion to refer the issue back to administration to review what is being done currently and come back with ideas with what the Town could do differently. This report could also contain suggestions as to how an organization could be developed to have individuals volunteer their time to clear sidewalks in the winter for those in need. Council supported this motion. Council also voted to hold the invoice for the individual he mentioned above until the Finance Committee has had a chance to review the case and it is brought back to Council. Baker said his fear is that others who have been ticketed for failure to remove snow from sidewalks could ask for their fines to be held also.

Provincial election to Folk Fest to add music take place June 12 to summer season by Sylene Argent On June 12 Ontarians will head to the polls to decide who they wish to lead the province. Last week, NDP provincial leader Andrea Horwath announced her party would not support the 2014 budget as tabled by the Liberal minority government. The PC Party had already indicated it would not support the budget. This triggered the election. Essex MPP Taras Natyshak noted the NDPs were not prepared to support the budget. The current government, he commented, has not been credible in following through with promises. In the 2013 budget, Natyshak said his party (NDP), asked for Ò three achievable policy ideas.Ó Those three items included getting
drivers in the province a break in insurance, for the government to focus on seniors and the elderly population who require more homecare to receive care five days after an assessment, which he noted has not been achieved. The NDPs also asked, as part of being accountable and transparent, to bring on a Financial Accountability Office that would investigate details attached to big investments for review and analysis. This was also not fulfilled, he noted. Ò I donÕ t want to see any more wasted money,Ó he said. Natyshak said in the 2014 budget the Liberals proposed there were 70 promises, but he said it canÕ t be trusted the Liberals are willing and
able to follow through. Natyshak noted he is ready to begin his provincial campaign to vie for reelection. Natyshak said it has been an honour to serve as the Essex MPP for the past two and a half years and to vie for the position again through this election. He intends to highlight issues Ontarians are facing, including ensuring opportunity for gainful employment and sustainable jobs. At the time of printing, it was expected the writ would dropped on Wednesday.
by Sylene Argent Lakeside Park will open to music fans of all ages over the August 8-10 weekend. The park will transform from its typical tranquil atmosphere, resting on the shore of Lake Erie, into a familyfriendly, multi-stage venue that will offer a variety of music through the first annual Kingsville Folk Music Festival. Many award-winning bands and performers are scheduled to take to the stage, including legendary Canadian artist Bruce Cockburn. In all, over 30 performers will take to the stage over the three-day event, including Jane Siberry, David Francey, Ron Hynes, Russell deCarle Band and Ray Bonneville. Local artist Dale Butler will also share his talent at the festival. There will be a childrenÕ s area that will highlight Fred Penner, Magoo, Ben Hassenger, and Washboard Hank. John and Michele Law of Rebel Cowboy Music are organizing the weekend concert event. Ò WeÕ re looking forward to it,Ó Michele said. There is a cost to attend, but youth under the age of 16 get in free. Tickets can be purchased at kingsvillefolkfest. org. More information about the roster of performers and the event itself can
also be found at that website. Tickets are also available at Rebel Cowboy Music Store in Kingsville. Michele noted that this is the first music festival of its kind in the area. This event, she added, will have many volunteers behind it. It is expected the concert will attract over 4000 music lovers. The organizers hope to see a lot of youth at the festival. A few student volunteers are slated to go around to Kingsville area schools to show a video that will help explain exactly what folk music is. When the organizers started to put the event together, they wanted to raise money for area youth to get access to music and similar workshops. John and Michele said this event is designed to raise funds for the Music and Arts for Youth (MAY) FUNd. Through this initiative, area youth in need of financial support will get to access to the arts through lessons, workshops, and mentoring. John said the Kingsville Folk Music Festival will be a musically nonalienating event and will offer many styles of music within the folk music

festival going. Ò Every artist is excited,Ó they explained. They noted it was important to put a music festival in Kingsville as often tours of these kinds do not typically make it into the region, and it was something often requested when the Town of Kingsville underwent its Arts and Culture Master Plan. The Town of Kingsville was supportive of the event, Leamington is on board also. It is hoped the Festival will attract visitors to the area and that those people will come back to see other area attractions, such as local wineries or stay at area bed and breakfasts.
To help make the Folk Music Festival a countywide event, the Laws forwarded 800 tickets to representatives from Heinz to give to employees. In recognition of the June closure, the festival wanted to give something back and bring some joy to the employees. Heinz rep Scott Jackson thanked John and Michele for their contribution on behalf of the union members. Rhonda Chorba, HeinzÕ s H.R. Business Partner, added the contribution of the tickets would be well received by the Heinz employees.

Tot Park Grand Opening is May 22
Christopher enjoys the newly renovated Tot Park.
submitted to the EFP The Town of Essex is excited to announce the official grand opening of Tot Park is on Thursday, May 22 at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony and pint-sized activities at the redesigned and reconstructed park and playground located on Irwin Avenue, beside Town Hall (33 Talbot Street South, Essex). Face painting, crafts, games, music and snacks are planned for the event. The accessible playground for infants, toddlers and preschoolers started to take shape in late 2012 with the installation of playground equipment and a rubberized ground
surface. Additional features were added in 2013, including a colourful fence, benches, picnic tables, and landscaping, as well as the planting of a Sweetgum tree donated
in October by Storybook Early Learning Centre. Ò ItÕ s now time to make it official,” says Doug Sweet, Director of Community Services. “A lot of careful thought and planning went into this park and we hope that people who have young children in their lives will make regular visits and take advantage of the central location and all of the special features.” The playground includes a colourful wheelchair-accessible play structure with sensory-stimulating activity panels, crawl tubes and slide, two picnic tables, lots of benches, three spring riders, and infant, toddler and adaptive swings. Even the waste receptacle shaped as a brown bear is fun.
Environmental considerations for this project included the choice of recycled rubber for the ground surface. Over 9.5 tonnes of rubber was recycled to create the rubber tiles that provide a soft landing for little feet. The Town received a grant of $8,718 from the Ontario Tire Stewardship for incorporating recycled rubber into the design. Tot Park enjoys a long history. Before the band shell was demolished and Town Hall was built in its place in 1967, the adjacent park contained a wading pool that was a favourite destination for local children during the summertime.

South Buxton Raceway kicks off another season of racing
photo by James MacDonald Leamington’s Joel Dick with SBR flag girl Allie Massender after his Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modified feature win.
by Mike Bennett Joel Dick started the new season right where he left off last September Ð in victory lane. The Leamington driver took the lead midway
through the Schinkels Gourmet Meats UMP Modified feature race and led the final 13 laps to take the checkered flag on opening night at South Buxton Raceway. Ò The car
was running really good tonight, we had a little problem in the dash but got that sorted out, and my guys got it working great for the feature,Ó said Dick, who won the Modified season championship race to end the 2013 season. Dick was locked in a good battle for second with ChathamÕ s Louis Clements for the first 10 laps, well behind the leader Eugene Hoekstra of Chatham. But as the cars approached the midway mark, Hoekstra was slowed by slower traffic at the bottom of the track. Dick took advantage and went to the high side and passed Hoekstra at the flag stand, as the leader was
trapped by a lapped car. Ò That was the difference, we could get around the lapped cars and he couldnÕ t,Ó Dick said of the short-lived battle with Hoekstra. Ò It was clear sailing up top so I knew it was a safe pass and just out drove him.Ó The only caution in the 25-lap feature came with nine to go but Dick quickly re-established his lead and breezed to the feature win. Clements passed Hoekstra on lap 21 to finish second while Belle RiverÕ s Mario Toniolo was fourth and MerlinÕ s Brad McLeod fifth. Windsor’s Emerson McIntyre posted a ninthplace finish while Cottam’s Denis DeSerrano was 10th, Wheatley’s Justin Mills 11th and Essex’s Gerald Martin 15th. Toniolo was second and DeSerrano fourth in the first heat, won by Clements. McIntyre was fourth and LeamingtonÕ s Curtis Coulter fifth in the heat won by Dick. Coulter was shaken up in a hard, head-on crash into the wall late in the heat and
scratched from the feature. MerlinÕ s Eren Vanderiviere opened the new season with a feature win, taking the lead from MerlinÕ s Steve Shaw with five laps to go in the 20-lapper. LaSalleÕ s Bob Visnjic was second and EssexÕ s Doris Lajeunesse third to Vanderiviere in both the feature and heat. KingsvilleÕ s Rob Young was fifth in the feature, Windsor’s West Bertozzi sixth, EssexÕ s Dillon Moody seventh, HarrowÕ s Patrick Lajeunesse 10th and CottamÕ s Tiffany Ellis 11th. Trevor Jones was a perfect three-for-three, holding off several challengers to win a caution-plagued Tirecraft Mini-Mods feature. MerlinÕ s Jody Mason was second as the race was halted by curfew six laps shy of its scheduled 20lap distance. KingsvilleÕ s Larry Hart was fourth, CottamÕ s Rob Quick fifth, Kingsville’s Norm DeSerrano 12th. EssexÕ s Tom Reimer and TilburyÕ s Gerry Rivait
finished third and fourth, respectively, in their heat race but both scratched from the feature. RidgetownÕ s Dale Glassford, who won eight features last year, led all 20 laps of the Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Model feature, holding off ChathamÕ s Brad AuthierÕ s late-race rally. BlenheimÕ s Jeff Schives won the Autotech Bomber feature as well as his heat race. This SaturdayÕ s (May 10) racing program will feature a pre-race ceremony for the first inductions to South BuxtonÕ s Hall of Fame. Joe Atkinson, who built the race track in 1971, will be enshrined along with former drivers Larry Atkinson, Fred Chambers, Gord DeWael, Brent Gibbons, Gord Gotelaer, Don Hendricks, Al McCully, Jim Morlog and John Reynolds.

photography of e-Scapes Photography Ð the Visual Healer. Ò I have always loved the outdoors,Ó McKay said. And she always had to have a camera on her person when she was a biologist for over 20 years. Now her work will be on display at the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre. Throughout the month of May, visitors to the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Cultural Centre will be able to enjoy a display of 30 photography pieces that McKay took through her e-Scapes business. Ò I want to promote visual healing and getting people to reconnect with nature.Ó McKay believes if she can help with that, in the long run people and nature will benefit. Through her fine art photography, McKay hopes to encourage area residents to care for nature so it is around for future generations to enjoy. One of the photos that most people tend to connect with is called Ò No Vacancy.Ó This photo was taken around the Wheatley area. The art piece depicts a monarch roost. Art-lovers tend to gravitate to this piece either because they have seen the phenomenon or would like to witness it. In the photo, McKay noted, there are 10,00015,000 monarchs hanging from a willow branch. McKay said that visitors to the Kingsville Arts & Cultural Centre throughout May would have the opportunity to purchase any photos
they like, as the e-Scapes artwork will be for sale. McKay hopes many nature and photography enthusiasts will attend a reception on Saturday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to noon. This will take place while a farmersÕ market will be hosted next door to the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre. The Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre is located at 28 Division Street South. It is open to the
public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. As of May 18, the Centre will also be open on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. But will be closed on Victoria Day. For more information visit: e-scapesphotography.ca.

1967 Camaro in same family since new!
Brian McCullough’s 1967 Camaro in the family since new!
A letter arrived from Brian McCullough in Ottawa: Ò Hi Bill, my 1967 Camaro was purchased new from Rideau Motor Sales in Smiths Falls on November 30, 1966, by my father, J. S. McDougall, proprietor of McDougall Pharmacy, who later passed it on to me. Although Dad bought the car, I drove it most of the time. It still has an OPP Safety Check sticker on the window when I as a teenager in 1967 must have looked suspicious and they pulled me over. The OPP stopped issuing stickers that year. “When I joined the OPP in 1970, my parents were wintering in Florida with my mom’s car and the Camaro was stored from October to April. At that time, I purchased my own vehicle and moved to northern Ontario. When my mother could no longer drive, my dad turned the Camaro over to me. Both my parents have long since passed on and I treasure the car as a keepsake, not to mention the times I had driving the car in my late teens. Ò The current mileage is 67,599 miles. The only time the engine has been opened was when I had to change the rocker cover gaskets. The car still has the aircraft cables that went on as a GM recall to reinforce the engine mounts. Later this spring, it will go to a local garage called K.A.R.S. owned and operated by Jim McMurtry, a Camaro restoration specialist for 25 years. Ò The car still has both sets of original GM keys and the plastic folder containing the original 1967 Camaro Owners Manual with VIN 126950 and Engine V1031MF noted on the front cover in pen, along with other original papers from the dealer. This vehicle has not been winter driven since the spring of 1970 and it has always been stored inside. It has never been in a serious collision, raced, or stolen. The vehicle has always had regular maintenance performed by qualified technicians. “Since I acquired the vehicle in 1998, the car has received an original Butternut Yellow repaint, original windshield removed and resealed, new GM gas tank, radiator saddle, inner and outer front fenders, radiator, heater core, fuel pump, rear leaf springs, shocks, original front seat covers, window felts, GM Body by Fisher sill plates, complete exhaust system, new floor with original carpeting, new fuel line, new brake lines, major engine tune-up, and four new Uniroyal Tiger Paw P205-75R 14 whitewall tires.Ó The Camaro first came out in 1967 as GM’s answer to the Mustang. The Camaro was an instant hit and has remained so to this day. 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
