Harrow Fair celebrates 161 years

by Sylene Argent Thousands of area residents, along with visitors to the area, attended the 161st Harrow Fair over the weekend, taking in the multitude of activities available for families to enjoy. This year’s Fair theme was “Apple-icious,” which helped fairgoers get excited for the upcoming apple-picking season. Bev Pillon, Harrow Fair Board President, said the overall fair weekend went well. Despite some wet weather early on during the fair’s four day stint in Harrow, volunteers believe the attendance was still just as good as it has been in the past. Typically, around 60,000 patrons go through the event gates over the Harrow Fair weekend. It is a place that offers many fun, and family-friendly, activities for youth and their entire families to enjoy, including a carnival midway complete with rides, games, a food booth, and vendor tables. It also boasts of having two onsite horse shows, and a long list of competitions that anyone with a baking, decorating, preserving, farming, or arts and craft talent could enter. The exhibitions entered into this year’s Harrow Fair, Pillon commented, were well done and good additions to the event. She added that both horse shows offered over the weekend were well attended

events. The annual fair also offers a venue to educated youth who may not have grown within or around an agricultural community about farming and the work and care it takes to rear animals. The Fair typically has many animals onsite, for area families to enjoy interacting with. Seeing these animals may be the first for some youth, which helps them develop a respect for animals and nature. Many of the animals on display are 4-H reared. Over the Harrow Fair weekend, several area 4-H Clubs wrap up their clubs with their achievement days, including the 4-H Sheep Club, the 4-H Poultry Club, the 4-H Beef Club, 4-H Swine Club, and the Dairy Club. The Harrow Fair also offers the 4-H swine, beef, sheep, and poultry auction. One of Harrow Fair’s most talked about activities is the annual pie auction. Several bidders participated in this year’s auction, hoping to take home one of several different types of available homemade pies. The proceeds will be forwarded to the John McGivney Children’s Centre. Pillon noted thanks to the support for the pie auction, nearly $11500 was raised. A cherry pie earned the highest bid of $2200. Country music fans

were treated to sound of live music from Buck Twenty (formerly the Mike Ure Band), Jess Moskaluke, and Tebey. The annual parade, the Birds of Prey show, the tractor pull, and the rooster calling crowing contest were some of the eye catching events hosted on Saturday. “Everything went very well,” Pillon commented.

Ann Heaton stands at the back edge of her yard on Ferris Rd. in Harrow. Here, fuel tanks belonging to Herdman Technologies Inc. can be seen.

by Jennifer Cranston Harrow resident Ann Heaton argues that her neighbourhood is not zoned for the “bulk fuel plant” located directly behind her property on Ferris Rd. The property is zoned M1 or light industrial. “That is not legally light industrial and does not belong on an M1 property,” she said. The operation owned by Herdman Technologies Inc. includes one fuel tank marked gasoline and one marked ethanol and one unmarked fuel tank. Heaton believes that the third tank is being used to blend fuel. Her concerns are mainly that the fluids

are highly combustible and that a leak could be disastrous for her and her neighbours. Heaton and others have been bringing their concerns to Essex Council and administration for about five years and she said they can’t get any satisfaction. She said she has no problem with the work and research the company is doing, she just takes issue with the location. The company develops additives that improve the performance of fuel and other machinery fluids. “What they are doing is very interesting,” she said. “It has no business being in a residential community.”

is not in violation of zoning by-laws, they are still working with the owner in the hopes of bringing some peace to the neighbourhood. “We are working with Mr. Herdman in the hopes of encouraging him to take some actions that will make the operation more acceptable to the neighbours,” he said.

Essex CAO Russ Phillips said that municipally speaking the property is zoned correctly to have the fuel tanks. He said that what is being done with the fuel is not governed by the municipality. “It’s allowed under our zoning,” he said. Phillips explained that even though the operation

Various ways you can put pumpkins to use Few items signal the fall harvest season more than the bright, orange pumpkins that dot fields and liven up displays outside of homes and businesses. Come fall, many pumpkins are turned into grinning jack-o-lanterns just in time for Halloween. But there are many other uses for pumpkins as well. Pumpkins are believed to have originated in North America. Early Native Americans relied on pumpkins as a source of food that helped them survive long winters. Pumpkins could be roasted, baked, boiled, and dried, and they were eaten and used as medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added to stews. The shells of the pumpkins could be dried and used as eating and storage vessels. While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the following are a handful of additional ways this versatile fruit can be put to use. Beauty regimen Pumpkins contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals that can help replenish the skin. Pumpkin purée can be mixed with honey, aloe vera gel, olive oil, and a bit of cornmeal to create an exfoliating mask for the face or body. Pumpkin also can be used to rejuvenate dry or tired skin from cold weather. Honey, pumpkin and yogurt can be mixed together and used to condition hair. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it out and shampoo. Foods and beverages Pumpkin purée is the basis for many tasty, pumpkin-infused treats. Purée can be used in pies, cakes, muffins, breads, and many additional foods. Pumpkin purée also may be found in certain beverages, such as smoothies and shakes. A bit of spiced purée may appear as

flavoring in teas and coffees. Roasted pumpkin seeds make a healthy treat. Foodies suggest using the seeds from “sugar pumpkins” or the ones best for making pies. Boil the seeds for a few minutes before draining. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and put the seeds in a single layer. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and serve. Pumpkin wines and beers are popular as well. There are many recipes for developing sweet, fermented beverages, which tend to be especially popular in the fall. The “guts” of the pumpkin can be simmered along with aromatics and other vegetables to create a vegetable stock perfect for soups and broths. Decorations Pumpkins can also add to one’s home décor during the fall. Pumpkins can be carved for Halloween displays, hollowed-out to hold tealights or simply left on tables and used as centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be used as natural flower pots for mums or other seasonal floral displays. As the Native Americans once did, pumpkins can be hollowed-out and used as bowls to serve favorite soups and dips. Use a hollowed, small pumpkin as a natural aromatic candle holder. Cut holes in the sides to vent the exhaust. Rub aromatic spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, on the inside of the pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle in the bottom of the pumpkin and let it send inviting aromas into the air. Pumpkins are a versatile fruit that can serve many purposes beyond just jack-olanterns and pies.

First group enjoys official tour of Spitfire Memorial

Essex Councillor Randy Voakes talks to the first tour group to visit the Spitfire Memorial in Essex. A small group of residents from The Village of Aspen Lake long term care facility took a tour to learn about the memorial.

by Jennifer Cranston Eight residents from The Village of Aspen Lake were the first group to tour the Essex Spitfire Memorial in Essex. Jenny Brown is Director of Recreation at the long term care facility. She said sometimes it can be difficult to find outings that engage the men in her care, and that the Spitfire was a good fit. She noted that seven of the eight

day-trippers were men. While Bob Swaddling of the former Spitfire Committee has volunteered to help out with any groups looking for a tour of the monument, the whole committee came out for this first official tour. As the tour group settled themselves in the Essex Train Station to hear about the project before visiting the monument,

Bill Gay of the Train Station said the Spitfire and Honour wall have been good for business at the station. “It’s been gratifying to have the Spitfire Project in the same area as the Train Station,” he said. Gay estimates that traffic at the Essex Train Station is up as much as 30 percent since the monument was installed.

From the C orners of My Mind ••• Comment by Jennifer Cranston •••

Autumn

Serving Essex and the surrounding communities since 1896.

Published Thursdays as an independent weekly newspaper, owned and operated by The Essex Voice Limited. A London Publishing Corporation Publication OUR STAFF Sandy Kennedy / Andrew Beaudoin - Office Jessica Azar - Graphic Design / Social Media / Production Lana Warwick - Graphic Design Greg Belchuk - Advertising Sales Manager Sylene Argent - Editor/News Reporter Jennifer Cranston - News Reporter Shelley Beaudoin - Graphic/Production

CIRCULATION The Essex Free Press is an audited publication with controlled circulation of 10,000.

Both literally and metaphorically, autumn is a time to gather in the fruits of our labour. In many cultures it is a time to celebrate the endings that make room for new beginnings. As a parent it is a time for recognizing the fruits of our labour, but less a time of gathering in. It is an end of extra time with our children as we send them back to school; an end to lazy evenings around a campfire with our families as the nights grow longer and the days grow colder. For some, it is an end to one grade at school and the beginning of another, for others, it is the end of one school and the beginning of another.

As parents this is not a time to gather in the fruits of our labour, but a time to let go just a little more. With each autumn, our children become a little more independent and move just a little further away from being entirely dependent on us. Toddlers, who were just yesterday holding our hands all the way into day cares, are big-kids now, riding the school bus for the first time all by themselves. Kids, who were only weeks ago, children lining up for recess at elementary school, are embracing the extended freedoms of high school. For parents like me, who just shipped our children to far away

colleges and universities, gone are the dinners talking about their days at school. Updates on their lives are now reduced to random phone calls and text messages. For parents, autumn is about anything but gathering in. It is however a time for making way for new beginnings. Parents do not reap what we sow in a conventional way. Our reaping comes in the form of the pride we get from watching our children enter each new phase of life, even though those phases take them just a little farther away with each autumn.

Letter to the Editor: EYC no longer open daily Well, the time has come. The Essex Youth Centre cannot open its doors on the first day of school since 1999! What has become a safe and caring environment for the teens of Essex and the surrounding areas can no longer function as an all-day Youth Centre. Over the past 36 years (yes, we have been in existence since 1980!) and specifically at our location at Essex District High School since 1999, we have welcomed thousands of young people. We have helped them achieve

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Thanks for information Thank you Dan Bissonnette for your letter to inform me I have the wrong idea about goldenrod. What you sent was valuable information, not for me only, but to everyone in general. We do need to preserve our goldenrod because it is a food source for pollinating insects. And I needed the correction on my idea it caused allergic reactions. All of us need to be very aware of what mankind is doing to our world. I think one problem is an attitude that people take; either that only one person can’t make much difference, and the thought that this little bit one person destroys or throws away, won’t make any difference. I do not know whether I am more upset when I see seniors disregarding the need for careful recycling or when I see it among young people. When a teenaged granddaughter laughed at me, years ago, I told her it was she who had to live with the consequences of waste, after I was gone. I don’t know how it is with her now because I seldom see her at her home in British Columbia. There are so many of us now, and the population continues to grow. When I see all the tall buildings in a city like Toronto, I wonder how our globe continues to rotate without wobbling!

their dreams and worked with them to overcome their fears. We have provided employment for over 100 young people, whether it was a summer job, an entry level fulltime job, or a work experience through co-op placements from high schools, college and universities. We have provided work placements for persons with disabilities, have worked with students to develop events and write

grants that dealt with very serious issues teens face. Some of these issues included bullying, teen depression, alcohol and drug abuse, coping with peer pressure and so many more. We provided a transition program where Grade 8 students entering the secondary schools were prepared for the challenges of high school. Since 1999 we have conducted the ‘Helping Hands - Generation to Generation Program” where youth were hired to provided free help to seniors and persons with disabilities, giving youth a job and learning from the seniors of our community, while the seniors received free assistance with things they could no longer do themselves. We have provided ongoing computer support, including training and technical support with the Essex Retirees’ Social Club since 1998. We worked hand-inhand with parents who needed our support and guidance when they faced the challenges of dealing with their son or daughter, we engaged students who were struggling to fit in, who needed support in their life choices, and who needed to become engaged in healthier lifestyles. The Essex Youth Centre is a Registered Charity, has a long-term lease on our space in Essex District High School until 2028 and wants to continue to offer services to youth. For now, what we hope to do is have special events and activities such as movie nights, coffee houses, gaming nights and other special events. The clincher is that we need to have volunteers ready to help. We need help to continue these events and perhaps bring the Essex Youth Centre back to the vibrant and caring facility where youth can feel safe and cared for. Over the years we have received financial support from grants, businesses, the municipality, local service clubs, and generous donors. We have held many fundraisers in order to survive. One person cannot continue to do this alone. The Executive Director, Sandy Larivee, continues to volunteer her time in order to transition the Youth Centre, but it is time for us to find a corporate funder, organization, or individual who wants to associate their charitable work with our youth. The Board of Directors (Richard Parkinson, Randy Voakes, Robert Kerr, Hilda Ware, Marlene Phillips, and Jessica Azar) welcome your thoughts and ideas going forward. Call Sandy at 519-987-4677 for further information.

First human case of West Nile virus confirmed submitted to EFP On September 4th it is confirmed by the WindsorEssex County Health Unit that a Windsor-Essex County resident has tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV). This marks the first confirmed clinically diagnosed human case for our region in 2015. Most people with WNV never develop symptoms and will not know that they have the virus. Approximately 25% of the people develop West Nile fever. A small number of people (less than 1%) develop severe neuro-invasive disease. This positive human case is a reminder for Windsor-Essex County residents to continue to protect themselves, as certain types of mosquitoes spread WNV, a potentially serious infection to humans. Area residents should eliminate any standing

water around their home/ property and take personal protective measures to avoid mosquito bites. Individuals can protect themselves from mosquito bites in several ways. Use insect repellents that contain DEET, Icaridin or other approved ingredients on clothing as well as exposed skins. Always read and follow label directions. Wear light-coloured clothing, a long sleeved shirt and long pants. Make sure that door and window screens fit securely and are free of holes. Limit the time you spend outdoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Lightcoloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours.

Art Space Essex ready to offer open studio time - prepares for “yarn bombing” by Sylene Argent Sometimes it is difficult to be able to find time to do the things that can make one happy. And for many, that something can be getting creative with hobbies like painting, drawing, knitting, or crocheting. Art Space Essex, which was launched last year, is pleased to offer the “the time, the place, and the space” so creative people locally can set time aside monthly to socialize with others, and work on those artistic projects. “Our main focus is to get people creative,” Art Space Essex volunteer Jodie Matte said. And local people will be able to put on their creative caps on Saturday, September 19th as Art

Space Essex will resume its monthly open studio events. It is hoped many will take the opportunity to join in. On every third Saturday, from September through May, Art Space Essex will offer an open studio session at the Essex Retirees’ Social Club from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. “Bring what you like to do,” Matte said. Adult colouring books are popular right now, and this can be something community members who would like to get involved with the open studio sessions can do. At these monthly open studio events, area artists and needle crafters will be able to gather to work on their projects and socialize.

Bicentennial Museum offers new junior history club by Sylene Argent The Maidstone & Area Historical Society is excited to announce it is going to offer an exciting, new program for area youth with a passion and interest in history to enjoy. This local historical society is looking forward to launching the Maidstone Junior Historical Society. Maidstone & Area

Historical Society Chairperson Victoria Beaulieu will run this program with the help of a few young-adults. One of those leaders is local history buff Paige Howson, who has been involved with the 4-H Club that was dedicated to history, which was based out of the Maidstone Bicentennial Museum. The 4-H’s historyrelated club was one that

had a great program, and it acted as a stepping stone for this advanced program the Museum is excited to launch, Beaulieu noted. “Our goal is to teach children local history and Canadian history through a hands-on interpretive program,” Beaulieu said. The volunteers hope to bring in other history groups to teach the youth membership exciting skills. It is hoped the youth will enjoy the club, and will learn enough historically based, handson skills that they can become reenactors. The Maidstone Bicentennial Museum has a Voyageur reenactment group for all ages, and when this group is at local historical events, the volunteers were hearing many were interested in getting involved in a junior group. This also helped make way

for the creation of the new Maidstone Junior Historical Society. “There are a lot of parents interested in getting their kids involved in learning about Canadian history,” she said. “We’re excited about it.” On Thursday, September 24, at the Maidstone Bicentennial Museum, volunteers with the Maidstone & Area Historical Society will host an open house at 6:30 p.m. Here, interested youth will be able to inquire about this new opportunity, and ask any questions they may have about the group. They will also be able to sign up for the club. There will be a cost associated. Through the club, participating youth will be able to sit in on interesting lectures from other history-related groups,

take some exciting field trips, and learn many skills, which will include making historicallyrelated crafts. The first part of the club will focus on Native life. The club members will learn how to put up a tipi, and will learn about Native food and music, and the history of the area. The club members will then learn about the fur trade, which will lead into lessons on the Voyageurs. She hopes to offer canoeing certifications through this portion of the club. The lessons will

then move on to focus on the War of 1812. She also hopes to be able to cover a section on rum running. “It’s shaping up nicely,” she said. Volunteers are in the works of creating a Facebook page for the group. Beaulieu urged those who may be interested in getting involved to keep an eye out for this page, which will offer more information.

Environmental groups concerned over algae blooms in Lake Erie by Jennifer Cranston Representatives from three environmental groups travelled to the region on August 25 to discuss algae blooms in Lake Erie. Nancy Goucher, Program Manager for Environmental Defence, Tony Maas of Freshwater Future Canada, and Raj Gill, Great Lakes Organizer for Freshwater Alliance, invited media to travel with them to Pelee Island to discuss blue-green algae and the damage it does to the Lakes and the local economy. Chante Charters of Kingsville provided transportation for the trip. Captain John Sim talked about his experiences with algae over the years. He said that when alga is thick it becomes a slimy gel that suffocates other living things in the water. “I’ve been fishing this lake for over 35 years and I’ve seen a lot of change,” he said. “Algae blooms are causing a lot of problems for the commercial fisheries.” Essex County is near the Western Basin of Lake Erie, and traditionally our local fishermen could operate here for the whole season. Sim explained that over the last couple of years, the commercial fisheries have to leave early in the season for the Central Basin because they can’t catch their quotas here. When the algae get thick, the fish leave too. Pelee Island Mayor Rick Masse said the island had been very lucky this year because the bloom hadn’t reached their shores, but last year, algae was a disaster for the island and its residents. He estimated that last year the island lost between $850,000 and $900,000 over the Labour Day weekend alone, not to mention the ongoing loss of tourist revenue that occurred over the remainder of the year. The biggest problem created by the bloom was undrinkable water. Algal is toxic and boiling water only makes the toxin more potent. “Last year was huge, you couldn’t shower or brush your teeth,” he said.

Algal thrives in phosphorus rich environments and phosphorus from agricultural run-off, human waste and other sources help to create an excess of phosphorus in the water that leads to the excess growth of algae. “We need to stop using the lake as a toilet,” Masse

said. Masse also said that re-creating swamps and wetlands is important. “We’ve taken away all of our natural filters,” he said. Tony Maase explained that it is a complicated issue that won’t be solved overnight. “The solution is going

to take years,” he said. “There is no silver bullet.” Michigan and Ontario governments have set a goal of 40 percent phosphorus reduction, by 2025. All three groups say that this is a good step, but that governments on both sides of the border need to do more to solve the problem.

Art Space Essex ready to offer open studio time... Creating art “takes time away everyday stuff,” she commented. The Art Space Essex open studios are more adult centered, but teens are welcome to join in to work on projects.

Youth under the age of 14 must be supervised by an adult. Everyone is expected to bring along their own projects and the supplies they will need to create their art. There is a nominal fee to attend the

session. In celebration of the first open studio session of this season, Art Space Essex plans to host a “yarn bombing” on Talbot Street, near the Centre street intersection, on September 18. Anyone with knitted or crocheted pieces wanting to get involved is urged to join in. Individuals with Art Space Essex will meet at 7 p.m. that evening, and the “creative graffiti”

Council celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s long-reign milestone by Sylene Argent Essex Council gathered at the home of former John R. Park Homestead curator Janet Cobban and Tim Cope on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s approaching accomplishment of becoming the longestreigning Sovereign of Canada since Confederation. Cobban and Cope’s home was selected as the celebration site as they have an eight foot squared barn quilt displaying the design of “Queen Victoria’s Crown.” This barn quilt was erected in 2012 in celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It is believed that this barn quilt is the only one on North America that has a royal theme. Cobban explained that on Wednesday, September

9, Queen Elizabeth II will surpass her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria as the longest-reigning Sovereign of Canada since Confederation. During the celebration, Essex Mayor Ron McDermott wished the Queen congratulations on reaching this milestone, he also wished her years of health and happiness. He noted that Queen Elizabeth has reigned over 63 years at this milestone. Cobban and Cope’s barn quilt is just one of around 20 that are located along County Road 50, she said. These quilts have served as one of many reasons outof-town people travel down this area. In 2012, after Cope and Cobban had their barn quilt displayed, they sent photos to the palace, and received a letter from a Lady in Waiting. Cobban said she has always had an interest in the Royal Family, and that is why she chose this theme for the barn quilt. Cobban provided a few facts about Queen Elizabeth, which included that she and Prince Philip visited Windsor-Essex in 1951, when she was still Princess Elizabeth, in 1959 when the royal yacht sailed through the Great Lakes as part of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and in 1984 for Ontario’s bicentennial.

Residents have opportunity to learn about regional electricity planning by Jennifer Cranston The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) held an open house at the Ciociaro Club recently, and will hold another on Sept. 29 in Essex to inform residents about future plans for electricity supply in the region. Jennifer Link is Sr. Advisor, Regional and Community Engagement for IESO. She explained what Reginal Planning is all about. “We’re talking about local electricity planning,” she said. “With Regional Planning we look at integrated solutions, conservation, infrastructure and new technology.” She said that one of the main issues being addressed in this region is reliability and capacity problems near Leamington. She said that the plan is to build a new transformer station near Leamington. “Once the Leamington Station is built, it will allow an update to the Kingsville Station and create room for growth,” she said. She said the problem has been caused by increased growth and demand combined with aging infrastructure. Dustin O’Niel of the community group Our Blue Sky said the meeting was a good opportunity for him to talk about this community’s opposition to more wind turbines and learn more about the province’s decisionmaking process. His group, formed by a group of residents in Essex, is opposed to the proposed Blue Sky Wind project that would bring more turbines to the municipality of Essex. He said that one of the ways the IESO plans to increase capacity is by installing more wind turbines. “They currently have a mandate to add 300 megawatts in Ontario using wind turbines,” he said. “Whoever can produce the most

electricity for the lowest cost, will be the first consideration in awarding contracts. Municipal and community approval is secondary in the decisionmaking process.” O’Niel said that there are currently proposals being submitted that will produce more energy than the Blue Sky project and that they would be located in more northern, less populated areas. He also said that while the wishes of residents are secondary, they are not disregarded entirely. IESO does consider people who show up at

these meetings to share their concerns and those who write letters. O’Niel encourages people to come to the meeting in Essex and share their concerns about turbines in our region. “We are not fighting IESO,” he said. “We just want them to know how we feel.” The IESO open house will be held on Sept. 29 at the Essex Centre Sportsplex from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Fall Festival of Cars attracts big crowd

Walter Beaudoin of Windsor displayed his 1968 Charger during the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s Fall Festival of Cars event on Sunday.

by Sylene Argent The Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village hosted its annual Fall Festival of Cars event on Sunday, creating a fun activity that area families and local car enthusiasts could enjoy over the Labour Day weekend. The Volunteers at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village were thrilled with the event turnout. Around 300 vehicles had been

registered to take part in the car show, and were lined up along the trail that runs throughout the park. Crowds of onlookers walked up and down the trail, overlooking the many classic, custom, and antique vehicles on display. The volunteers with the Museum were also thrilled with the visitor traffic at the show. Tim Beckett was one of the many individuals who took the time to display

their vehicle on Sunday. He is from Leamington and displayed his 1963 Thunderbird. He had the car restored in Bradford after purchasing it around ten years ago. The ’63 Thunderbird was a vehicle he wanted to purchase because he enjoyed its aesthetics, which first caught his eye when he was in his youth. Since having the vehicle restored, Beckett enjoys attending car shows to talk about his car with

others having an interest in vehicles. Walter Beaudoin of Windsor was also present at Sunday’s car show, displaying his 1968 Charger for Museum visitors to mull over. He bought it eight years ago, and has spent the first half of those years restoring this eye catching vehicle. Beaudoin took the car apart, had a professional rebuild the engine, and then put it all back

together. He bought the vehicle because he always wanted to own one like it. He had owned a similar car when he was 20-years old, but ended up having to sell it. “There’s something about the style,” he said. He also enjoys attending area car shows with his prized vehicle. A car corral offered during the car show provided a place for those wishing to sell

their vehicles an outlet to connect with those looking to buy, and a vendor area offered the space for collectors to swap rare parts and look for unique items. Events like the car show hosted at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village support the Museum’s Children’s Education Program.

Kaidyn Blair returns from WTG with armful of medals

by Sylene Argent 13-year old liver donation recipient Kaidyn Blair represented the community at the 2015 World Transplant Games, which was held recently in Argentina. This was a fantastic way for this local athlete to wrap up his summer, and add a few medals to his already impressive collection. Blair enjoyed his time in Argentina, where he met new friends, and competed in an array of athletic events in the 1214-year old category. Blair returned home with an arm full of medals,

including gold medals in the 100meter dash, the ball throw, and in long jump. He also collected two silver medals in badminton and bowling. He also participated in volleyball, which was his mom’s, Tammy, favourite moment to watch, as all these individuals who have had a transplant in their lifetime gathered to play. Blair was one of 18 youth to participate in the World Transplant Games on the Canadian team. “It was awesome,” Blair said of getting to experience some time

in Argentina. He noted that the weather was a little cooler than it was back home as Argentina is currently experiencing winter. “I made a lot of friends, and I played a lot of soccer,” Blair said of his trip, when he wasn’t competing. Soccer is one of Blair’s favourite sports. While participating in his events, Blair met a friend from Great Britain. The two boys promised to write each other, and Blair plans to send his new friend some maple syrup. The community rallied behind Blair leading up to his departure for the World Transplant Games, including participating in a car wash fundraiser that helped pay for his trip expenses. Blair is appreciative of all the sponsors who helped make this trip possible for him to go on. This was Blair’s second showing at the World Transplant Games. He completed in 2013 when the event was held in Durban, South Africa, and had earned many medals during this event also. Because of his dedication to raising awareness for the organ registry, Essex declared April 27 as Kaidyn Blair Organ Donation Awareness Day. This day was chosen for the designation as it is the

anniversary of when Blair received a piece of a lifesaving organ, which took place just days after his first birthday. He was born with Biliary Atresia. Being able to receive a

piece of liver days after his first birthday has allowed Blair to be a big brother, to enjoy the numerous sporting activities he gets involved with, and to live and love.

Everyone, he said, has an opportunity to be someone else’s hero by registering to be an organ donor at beadonor.ca.

Sandy then demonstrated how to clip our cattle while making them look attractive to the judge, we also discussed different sizes of clipper blades and how to take proper care of them. After that, we took a break for lunch and moved onto the hands on portion where we were able to clip our calves and Sandy walked around to help us and give us pointers along the way.

Continued from Page 24 ourselves well. Thank you to RK Animal Supplies for travelling and providing a great day full of information, everyone learned something new! On August 19th, the Essex County 4-H Beef Club held its last meeting before getting ready for the Harrow Fair. The meeting started at 7:00pm with the 4-H pledge and we then discussed showmanship skills. Once everyone learned how to present ourselves, halter placement, and how to properly set up our cattle we had a mock show to practice the information we were just given. After this portion of the meeting we moved inside to discuss new and old business and the meeting was then adjourned. Thank you to John and Michelle McLean for hosting both meetings and providing us with snacks.

Kraynack signs on with Vipers A chance to drive a 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight

Douglas Tozer with Tony Lang’s 1935 Chrysler Airflow with fender skirts to enhance streamlining. Note the fabric insert roof, the only clue that this car comes from the mid - ‘30s and not the early ‘40s.

Douglas Tozer of Markdale, Ontario, recently visited Tony Lang of Chepstow, a small village a few miles northwest of Walkerton. The “Lang Collection” of classic cars includes a beautiful 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight sedan with a new all-steel unibody construction first introduced the previous year with styling and engineering many years ahead of its time. It was the first domestic car designed in a wind tunnel. From the two-piece V-shaped windshield to the headlights blended into the front fenders, this car in the mid - ‘30s looked like a car of the future – and in many ways it really was. Features included safety glass in the windshield, full insulation against noise, heat and cold, and hydraulic brakes pioneered by Chrysler as early as 1924. Henry Ford stubbornly clung to mechanical brakes (“the safety of steel from pedal to wheel”) until he finally went hydraulic in 1939. When unveiled for the 1934 model year, the new Chrysler Airflow with its “waterfall” grille was available as a coupe, 2-door sedan, and 4-door sedan with Canadian prices when new from $1500 for the 6-cylinder DeSoto Airflow to $2180 for the 8-cylinder Imperial Airflow. Sales were not as expected, and for 1935, the downward curve at the front of the ’34 grille was given a slight peak to give the car a more conventional look. On May 28, 2015, Tony Lang took Douglas Tozer for a ride in his Chrysler Airflow, then handed the keys to Douglas and said: “Now you drive.” Not many people get a chance like that. Douglas took the wheel and guided the car down the road, looking today as good as it did when it rolled off the assembly line 80 years earlier. The car won Second Best in Show at a St Johns Concourse in Michigan. Under the hood is a 323 cubic inch L-head straight eight engine cranking out 115 horsepower in the Chrysler C-1 series and 130 in the C-2 Imperial Eight. The Chrysler Airflow continued in production to the end of the 1937 model year, after which it was replaced with cars of more contemporary styling. It may have been a financial disappointment for Water P. Chrysler but the Airflow stands today as a milestone in the evolution of the automobile. Surviving examples are meticulously restored and highly collectible. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

by Fred Groves Woodslee’s Clay Kraynack has signed with the LaSalle Junior ‘B’ Vipers. Kraynack, the 6’3”, 217-pound 17-year-old, played for the Windsor minor midget Spitfires last year. On the team website, Vipers coach Bill Bowler says that Kraynack has a ton of potential. In recent pre-season hockey action, saw he laced up for the Leamington Flyers where he had an assist in a 6-3 win over the Vipers. • Still with hockey, the Essex Minor Hockey Association which is getting ready for its annual Earlybird Tournament, will have the Interlock/House League evaluation skates on Sept. 13, 14, 26, 27. • High school sports will be up in full swing in a couple of weeks, and the Essex District High School Red Raiders senior boys’ football team will open at Sandwich on September 18 at 7 p.m. • Goalie Katrina Arnold, an EDHS grad, and the St. Clair College Saints women’s soccer team had a perfect 4-0 pre-season record. They will open up on September 12 when they travel to Hamilton to take on Mohawk College. • Essex’s Ryan Green who helped the University of Windsor men’s hockey team to an OUA bronze medal last year will suit up when

the Lancers open their season on September 18 in St. Catharines against Brock. • The Kingsville Kings of the Greater Metro Junior Hockey League have their home opener this Friday when they faceoff at 8 p.m against the Toronto Ice Jets. • Essex native Mike Lachance, coach of the AKO Fratmen football team, will lead his club against the Grand River Predators on Saturday at 7p.m at Lajeunesse high school. The Fratmen, which include the ‘Corn Crush’ nicknamed backfield of Essex’s Cody McCann and

Spencer Revenberg, are 3-0 in league play. • From the Leamington Raceway on Sunday, Essex’s David Woods guided his horse Asterism to a first place finish in the eighth race. William Leon continues to have a good season at the local track as Victory’s Peanut was second in the first race and Mjs Pistol was second in the fourth. The Vic McMuren “My Sisters A Witch” was third in the sixth race. If you have anything for the sports roundup, please contact Fred Groves at FredGrovesgrover54@ hotmail.com
