by Sylene Argent The U.S. Brig Niagara Tall Ship anchored at the Kingsville docks over the weekend, giving community members an opportunity to learn about sailing and a little bit about Canadian military history. Visitors were also able to tour the vessel, which
happens to be a replica of a War of 1812 ship. The Tall Ship was welcomed into Kingsville waters on Friday evening, with music provided by the Sun Parlour Pipes and Drums band. On Saturday and Sunday, community members, and those
with a special interest in history or sailing, were able to board the U.S. Bring Niagara at the Kingsville Dock to take a tour of the replica ship and ask its 40 member crew what life is like sailing on the Great Lakes. On Saturday evening, a Captain’s reception was held to
welcome the crew into Kingsville. The visiting vessel created an opportunity for families to spend time together. Youth were able to take pictures with cutouts that had a sailing theme over the weekend, and enjoy entertainment on land. Sydnee Groenendaal was a Fourth Mate on the Tall Ship. She is one of 18 professional crew members that sails the ship. Through the Tall Ship’s sail training course, many trainees and apprentices completed the ship’s sail roster. The crew, she said, helps to recognize some local history. The U.S. Brig Niagara is a replica of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s relief flagship, which was used during the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The American fleet won that battle over the British fleet. The crew of trainees and apprentices on the Tall Ship were part of a course that teaches those with an interest how to sail. Groenendaal’s own love of sailing began with an interest in history. She would eventually take her interest of learning about history onto the Tall Ship and learned how to be a part of a sailing crew. It’s a practical application of history, she said, adding it is neat to have that kind of connection with history. The Tall Ship, she commented, seemed to attract many interested community members to the Kingsville dock.

Residents meet to discuss Soles for Souls in Africa need of taxi service by Sylene Argent On Friday, a group of concerned citizens met at the Essex Retirees’ Social Club to discuss whether or not a taxi service was needed in Town, and how that could be accomplished. Essex resident Robert Burns hosted the meeting to gage the community’s interest. He sent an invitation out to anyone in the community who had an opinion on the subject to attend the meeting, namely seniors and others who require a transportation service, and those who will need it in the near future. Around a dozen area residents attended the meeting, and many felt that transportation services are important, especially for those who
cannot drive themselves. Some were concerned, however, that taking taxis can be costly. Burns pointed out that while this issue is being discussed, Essex Community Services has opened up its transportation services. He urged those who require a transportation service to call the agency to learn more. Burns wonders if there are, or could be, subsidies that taxi services can tap into. Alya Alslyman of Leamington Taxi attended the meeting. She said the company could be interested in operating a taxi service in town, but commented she believes the licensing is too expensive in Essex. She will study this potential
project to see if it could be a viable option for the company. She would want to operate out of Leamington for the first year to see how it would go if the company was to offer a taxi service in Essex. Another meeting on this issue will be held at the Essex Retirees’ Social Club on Monday, September 14 at 1 p.m. Anyone with a concern, interest, or opinion is urged to attend this meeting. An invitation is also sent to Council in hopes of getting a town perspective on the issue. Burns hopes that, through future discussions on this topic, the group could eventually approach Council with some ideas.
submitted to the EFP While children here in Canada are busy getting set to go back to schooldonning shiny new running shoes, carrying new backpacks, and loading up with school supplies, most children who live in Ghana, Africa struggle daily just to survive. According to Rotarian Kim Spirou most children in Ghana live in extreme poverty and do not have shoes, or the money to pay for school uniforms, and school supplies. Sadly, this means they cannot attend school. Recognizing this dilemma, are volunteers setting off this November, at their own expense, to take part in a Rotary humanitarian mission to Ghana to support 700 impoverished children in the Central Region of Ghana. During this mission the team will provide children with uniforms, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies as well as soccer balls and jerseys. The Rotary team
plans to build a new school, youth centre, and sanitation facility with 12 public toilets and showers. The volunteers will drill three fresh water wells to provide families with access to clean, potable water. The team will also work in medical clinics and hospitals and provide life-saving mosquito nets to pregnant and nursing mothers and their children to protect them from the scourge of malaria–an often fatal disease. To accomplish this ambitious objective the Rotary team is seeking donations of new or gently used running shoes for ages 2-18, soccer uniforms, soccer balls (deflated), baseball
caps, and t-shirts. Cash donations are very much appreciated and cheques should be made payable to the Rotary Club of Essex and sent to the attention of Kim Spirou, Team Leader, at 1321 Ottawa St. N8X 2E9. Donations of goods can be dropped off throughout the city and county:1321 Ottawa Street in Windsor, 13278 Tecumseh Rd. E.in the town of Tecumseh, 186 Talbot St. S. in the town of Essex, and at the offices of the Rivertown Times on Richmond St. in the town of Amherstburg during business hours.

Town reps return from AMO Conference by Sylene Argent The Town of Essex had representation at the recent 2015 AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) Conference held in Niagara from August 1619. These representatives met with various ministers to speak about issues relating to Essex, listened in on lectures from provincial reps, and spoke with leaders of other communities. This opportunity allowed these town reps to showcase town initiatives, voice concerns with municipal challenges, and learn what other communities across the province are doing well. This annual event brings together dignitaries, ministers, and town staff to discuss things like challenges municipalities are facing and future changes in policy. They also get to share ideas and explore opportunities for prosperity. Essex CAO Russ Phillips, Mayor Ron McDermott, and Councillor Bill Caixeiro represented the Town of Essex at this year’s conference. Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche also attended the event on behalf of the County of Essex. For Phillips, it was a great event to network.
He and the other Essex representatives at the conference attended four specially scheduled sessions together. They met with the Minister of Community Safety & Correctional Services, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Transportation, and the Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport. At each of these sessions the Town representatives talked about projects or challenges specific to Essex. Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said Essex administration compiled packages of information for these sessions, and the Ministers seemed impress with the information packages provided. Phillips noted the crew from Essex spoke with the Minister of Education. This conversation surrounded the future, and potential closure, of Harrow High School. The Greater Essex County District School Board is currently conducting an accommodation review of several area schools, including Harrow’s high school. When it comes to a School Board conducting accommodation reviews, Phillips believes that the effected towns should have input. High Schools, or their potential closures, have an impact on the social and economic
wellbeing on the municipality they serve. He added that The Town of Essex felt left out of the review being done on Harrow High School. The reps, he said, talked about the province’s push for community hubs, and how Harrow High School could potentially benefit from this type of system. Deputy Mayor Meloche added that the Town asked the province to put a moratorium on high school closures until the outcome of the Province’s push for community hub is seen. The Town met with the Minister of Transportation to discuss the Highway # 3 project. Phillips noted there was senior staff involved with this conversation and they will be able to follow up with the Town. This had to do with the province not going ahead with the continuation of the widening of the road, and only resurfacing the remaining section this year. The Town also wanted to send the message to the Minister of Transportation that Essex County wouldn’t just sit back on having to wait for the remainder of Hwy. #3 to get widened, Meloche said. With the Minister

of Tourism, The Town of Essex was able to highlight cycling trails and tourism opportunities available locally. Phillips said the Town also talked about what it is doing as far as the Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan is concerned. In the future, the Town would like to be considered for small community grants. Administration will keep its eyes open for future opportunities for this. Overall, McDermott said, he believed the Town was well received at these seminars. In addition to meeting with the four ministers, Meloche also attended sessions on drainage and accountability of municipal assets. McDermott attended another on storm water management. Councillor Bill Caixeiro commented that having the opportunity to meet face to face with ministers on projects or concerns effecting Essex directly is very beneficial as it puts a face to the town. He believes meeting with the ministers at an event such as the AMO conference is more effective than sending an email. In Caixeiro’s opinion, the meeting with the

Howling at the Moon ••• Comment by Sylene Argent •••
Memories made at the Harrow Fair The Harrow Fair is this weekend, and many families from throughout the region will head to the Harrow fairgrounds over the next few days to take in all the activities it has to offer. The Harrow Fair offers a myriad of activities that can interest just about anyone, but what is really unique about this event is that it offers an opportunity for local talent to shine. And that talent can be in baking, creating preserves, arts or crafts, or animal rearing and showing. When I was in my youth, I used to show my horse around the county through the Southern Ontario Trail Riders Club. My horse and I made many friends through this club, and learned a lot from many of the veteran riders who were happy to see youth and their trusty horses achieve their goals in the show ring. The Harrow Fair offers a light horse show, and this show is a point
award show for the SOTC group. So, I have many memories of competing in this show, which because of the busy and distracting atmosphere around the show ring, was one of the more challenging shows to compete in. One year at the Harrow Fair, when my mare and I decided to part ways from the pleasure classes to try our luck in the timed events, we had received our best barrel racing time, and not a bad time in pole bending, too. I never enjoyed competing in the timed events, but it was something I knew the mare wanted to do, so I put my trust in her to keep me in the saddle, and off we went. I vividly remember entering the ring, thinking to myself ‘this could be a disaster.’ Behind the first barrel, along the far side of the ring, there was a string of children’s rides, all on the move while lights flashed and
loud music emitted throughout the park. Children laughed and screamed along with the fun. My mare and I had not been barrel racing long, and in the past, she was never a fan of getting too close to the far end of the ring. But now, I had to ask her to fly towards that line of rides and turn that first barrel as fast as we could manage. One of two things was going to happen; either it was going to happen or it wasn’t. I had weighed my options in my head before entering the ring. Maybe I should just take the course slow, maybe I should scratch from the event, maybe I should just go for it,

Letter to the Editor... A Loss of a Personal Nature Recently, I was shopping at the No Frills store in Essex. When I was at the checkout, I heard something clink against the shopping card. I turned around to look and saw a fellow behind me stoop to pick something up off the floor. Unbeknownst to me, the folds of my wallet must have picked up a 1943 half dollar out of my pocket that had been given to me for my 60th birthday (which was the year of my birth). This was a very special coin that I have carried with me since it was given to me many years ago. If this person who was standing behind me did indeed find this coin, one would think that he would have at least had the courtesy to ask if anyone had dropped it, in particular, me, who was standing right in front of him. When I returned home to Leamington, that is when I discovered that my “special coin” was missing and realized that when I heard the clink behind me, it probably was my very own coin. I even went to the store a few days later to see if by chance someone had turned the coin in, but to no avail; no one had done such a great deed. Yours truly, Derrick N. Tassey Leamington, Ont.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch
Influence of WWII It is apparent Hitler wanted to rule the whole world and wipe out the Jewish people. Certainly while he was in power, he destroyed thousands. Today, we like to think he was defeated in his ambitions. But when we think about it, he definitely changed much of our lifestyle and the fate of many people. My son brought this to my attention the other day on his birthday. He commented, “If it were not for World War II, I would not have been born in Halifax.” And his older brother would not have been born in Hamilton. Think of all the young British women who became Canadian citizens by marrying young soldiers who would not have been in England if Hitler had not given cause for the war. I often wonder how many young Canadian women never married because so many young men either found a “war bride’ or were killed in battle. And I am sure there were many English girls who remained unmarried because so many men lost their lives in battle. We are told there are entire European towns that were abandoned because the citizens were sent to German prison camps, or they fled from their country in fear. I think of a young German family with two boys who wanted to escape occupied Germany. They told me they walked by night and hid to sleep in daytime. They were in fear of being caught until they were able to sneak across the border. From there, they made their way to Canada and eventually to Windsor where they operated a small store. One Wednesday prior to Christmas, when the store was usually closed, they went back to decorate it for the holiday. A startled thief shot them both, killing her and putting him in intensive care for a month before he died. That left two young boys as orphans and that was another result of the war. I expect you can think of other circumstances that were the result of World War II.
Letter to the Editor... MP Watson No Friend to Passenger Rail Essex MP Jeff Watson is on the wrong side of history when it comes to passenger train travel. Local voters may not be aware that Watson and his Conservative government voted in April against Bill C-640, which would have given VIA Rail preference over freight trains whenever their schedules met. Anyone who has taken VIA for some distance knows that this is currently not the case, as passengers are delayed to let mile-long commodity trains pass by at their leisure. Watson claimed that improving VIA’s on-time performance would unduly hurt Canadian freight railroads. He clearly doesn’t read the quarterly-reports of CP and CN if he thinks they are in economic danger; CN made a profit of $886 million in the second quarter of 2015. His vote, however, does hurt passenger rail as travelers will avoid VIA if they feel they can’t arrive in a reasonable time. In addition to forgetting that railroads in Canada were not just built for freight corporations, Watson’s party willfully ignores the growing market for passenger train travel. Beyond the environmental benefits, passenger trains are attractive to the two largest demographic groups today – the Baby Boomers and the Millennials. As Baby Boomers age and live longer, they will outlive their ability to drive but will still be healthy enough for travel. When flying is not an option, the comfort and amenities of a train appeal to this group. The younger Millennial generation is also an emerging client base for rail as many forgo owning a car and seek public transit choices to match career and lifestyle.

Further, the ability to remain digitally connected while travelling on a train – while not having to drive – benefits both productivity and public safety. There needs to be a re-balancing of railroad use in Canada, and a move away from an attitude where plastic and petroleum are more important than people. A renaissance of passenger rail is already underway, and in the coming election, politicians who don’t support such should be left behind at the station.

Town reps return from AMO Conference... Continued on Page 3
Minister of Tourism went the best. He said the minister knew the area, liked the ideas presented regarding the future of the Heritage Park, and the trail systems locally. He hopes the meeting with the Minister will help the town obtain any grant funding that may become available in the future. Phillips comment that there were a number of other good sessions and small workshops that the Essex reps participated in. These opportunities allowed the Essex Council and administration reps to network with colleagues, talk about what they have been experiencing, and gain insight from representatives from other municipalities, while sharing their own.
Deputy Mayor Meloche went on behalf of Essex County. Attending the meetings with the ministers was also a highlight for him. Meloche said that the Town reps met with the Minister of Community Safety Correctional Services regarding the new OPP costing system and how its new formula is affecting municipalities. He noted Essex has been overcharged in the past for this service, and wanted to talk about how it would receive its compensation for this. Attending the AMO conference allows municipal staff and Council members to do something they don’t get to do every day, Phillips said.
“It was a busy couple of days,” Phillips said. “It was a great opportunity to network, talk, and learn what others are doing.” Phillips added he was impressed with AMO President Gary McNamara over the conference weekend. He is also the Mayor of Tecumseh. Next year, Windsor will host the AMO Conference. Phillips is looking forward to this opportunity that could allow the region to share some of its highlights with the rest of Ontario. It is important to attend conferences, such as the one AMO hosts, to pick up a few tips and allow the Town to voice its opinions and concerns, McDermott noted. In 2014, the previous Council approved the recommendations made in Travel and Business Expense document, which set an annual limit for elected officials to attend events such as conferences, conventions, symposiums, seminars, training sessions, workshops, and other training opportunities. The limit is $7,500 annually and $3,000 per event.

Memories made at the Harrow Fair... Continued from Page 4 but the latter made me feel a bit unsettled. Maybe she’ll spook, maybe she’ll turn that can too early in fear of the rides, or maybe I’ll fall off. I tried to keep calm, not wanting my mare to pick up on any uneasy feelings. I’ve never been one to gamble. So, my instinct was likely to play it safe. But the mare, she had another idea in mind. She took one look at that can and darted toward it. She loved to run, and she wasn’t about to let those scary rides deter her from doing just that, in front of a decent sized crowd to boot. She felt confident. She felt determined. So I put my trust in her, and let her do her
thing. Giving her the rein was not an easy thing to do. I remember approaching that first barrel, setting up for the pocket for a good turn, and before I could blink, we had made it around and were darting off toward the second can, away from the music and flashing lights. She had done it. And above the feeling of relief for having avoided a spill, I was proud of my mare for her bravery. She did well. We were in sync that day, and it will always stand out for me as one of those pleasant memories of “sometimes it all just works out ok.” It doesn’t always, so when it does, it feels pretty good.
Letter to the Editor... Letter to the Editor: Who was Mrs. Eileen Clifford? She was a winner of over seven prestigious humanitarian awards, received congratulations from past Prime Minister Jean Chretien for her work, and was a wonderful and caring person. Eileen Clifford was the founder of the Essex Area Food Bank. Sadly Mrs. Clifford passed away, but that doesn’t mean the Food Bank is done, no way. It only means she lives on through every act of kindness and every kind word said.
Come and support the Essex Food Bank with charitable donations of non -perishable food items and oral/body hygiene items. Remember every little bit counts! The food drive is at No Frills in Essex on Saturday, September 12th, rain or shine, from 10:00 to 5:00. Please help Mrs. Clifford’s legacy run on as her 1998 Citizen of the Year clock does!

Join the journey - Take steps to fight kidney disease in your community submitted to the EFP This fall, The Kidney Foundation of Canada is asking people across Ontario to take steps to fight kidney disease by participating in the local 2015 Kidney Walk. This will take place at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex on Sunday, September 27. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. Today, 1 in 10 Canadians has kidney disease and millions more are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontarians depend on lifesustaining dialysis treatments several times a week, over 1,000 are waiting for a kidney transplant, and countless others live with reduced kidney function that may have gone undetected. Every step you take on your Kidney Walk journey will provide hope for
those living with kidney disease when they need it most. A diagnosis of kidney disease is life-changing and impacts the entire family. That’s why teams of friends and families will join together to walk to support their loved ones. Create a team and join together at the Kidney Walk near you to help make a difference. It only requires a little time and effort, but each step will provide hope to many. Registering a team can be done online at www.kidneywalk.ca. The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Kidney Walks are taking place in 41 communities in Ontario throughout September and early October.

Letter to the Editor... How often do we hear the worrisome refrain â&#x20AC;&#x153;my vote does not really matter, nothing is going to change?â&#x20AC;? Sadly, all too often. Well, let me provide some thought-provoking information that may assist in the Federal riding of Essex and offer hope to those wishing change. After careful analysis of the Essex riding, using all polls available, poll aggregation, and a projection model that has been highly successful in the past, the reputable nonpartisan electoral analysis firm, 308.com (www. threehundredeight. com) has provided some fascinating numbers. 308.com, at the beginning of August 2015, had the Conservative incumbent at 40.6 % support and the NDP candidate, Tracey Ramsey, at 39.9%, statistically a dead heat. By August 28, 2015 the numbers had changed. No
more dead heat. The NDP moved ahead to 43.2% and the Conservative incumbent was at 35.5%. The Liberals trailed at 17.7% The figure for the Essex Liberals was disappointing, as they trail badly and not a contender in the tight race. So, if we desire progressive change in Essex, traditional Liberal voters might wish to consider voting for the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tracey Ramsey.
Otherwise a strong case can be made that voting Liberal will only split the vote for change and only help the Conservative candidate. That is how Mr. Watson has won every election thus far. This will be a difficult choice for good, loyal Liberals but an essential, well considered and strategic one. I urge you to give it some thought. Robin Blencoe Essex, On

Art displayed by the river in Amherstburg
by Sylene Argent For Amherstburgbased woodcarver Salvatore Criscenzo (pictured above), it is the piece of wood that dictates what it will be transformed into. His hand chisel is just a tool that carves the detail into the piece of wood, creating it into something beautiful that could tell its own story. “The only thing I do is take away the excess from the wood,” he said. Criscenzo was one of many artists who set up shop during the 49th annual Art by the River event over the weekend, which was hosted at Fort Malden National Historic Site. This long running tradition is a fundraiser for the Gibson Gallery, and has woven itself into the tapestry of tradition within the community. It is believed this venue is the longest running arts and craft show in the area. It typically attracts over 10,000 visitors.

This was Criscenzo’s first year displaying his wood sculptures for Art by the River visitors to mull over. He was encouraged to bring along his work, and found help to transport his art pieces so he would be able to participate. Some of the sculptures he has created can weigh a few hundred pounds, so transporting them is more than just a one-man operation. The Amherstburg woodcarving artist has been creating art work out of simple logs of wood for 30 years, but has really focused his attention to his creative work for the past 15-years after he retired. Criscenzo creates his wood work with a hand chisel. Using this technique can be timeconsuming, but it gives him more control over the detail. Using the chisel requires a lot of patience, but the end result is worth the work. Colleen Fox has been

a Board Member for the Gibson Gallery for the past twelve years. She explained the Art by the River festivity is an important event for the Gibson Gallery, which is located in the former historic Railway Station in Amherstburg, as it is a major fundraiser that contributes to the Gallery being able to operate for the community and artlovers to enjoy. The Art by the River event continues to be popular as it typically attracts around 150 vendors, selling an array of mostly art-related items that includes wood carvings, homemade musical instruments, paintings, and homemade clothing and jewelry. The view from the park, overlooking the Detroit
festivity is hoping to plan something special to recognize this milestone. Committee members will begin working at next year’s event within the next few weeks.

EMHA’s Rinks to Links charity classic a success
submitted to the EFP The Essex Minor Hockey Association’s (EMHA) annual golf fundraiser “Rinks to Links Charity Golf Classic” took place on Sunday, August 30 at the scenic Kingsville Golf & Country Club. The Rinks to Links Charity Golf Classic is one of EMHA’s largest fundraisers. Although this is not technically EMHA’s first golf tournament, it was the first golf tournament hosted under this rebranded name. The EMHA celebrated its golfers in five-star style. The day included 18 holes of golf on a championship quality course and included a GPS golf cart, a golfers welcome gift, a sleeve of balls and tees, a delicious lunch, a complimentary drink, and a gourmet dinner. We also featured a raffle prize table, a 50/50 draw, plus exciting events
and giveaways at every hole! The golf tournament was themed after hockey of course, and even had golfers on one of the holes tee-off wearing hockey gloves and then putt using a hockey stick. Golfers also were required to chip into a hockey net for the Chip N Challenge. There was even a Closest to the Referee Contest, replacing the usual longest Drive Contest. As we all know, it takes a lot of volunteers to make an event like this successful and even with the incredible customer service that the Kingsville Golf & Country Club staff provided to us, we wanted to take it to the next level and give the golfers fivestar service. For this year’s event we asked the players from the Peewee Major travel team to come out and lend a hand. This was an
opportunity for the EMHA Board to show these kids how to give back to their community. The youth sat at each of the holes and either presented golfers with a treat or got them involved in the game. The players were tasked with joking around with the golfers, to properly thank each of the golfers, and yes, even heckled them! Golfers received special treats and participated in fun games at each hole along the way. A bag of nuts, a skewer of fresh fruit, and cookies were just some of the treats the
golfers received. They also had a chance to play their best poker hand and a hockey trivia game, with the winners receiving extra raffle tickets for the prize table. When the players completed their round of golf, they returned to the clubhouse where the entire team was there to receive the players’ clubs and take them for a quick cleaning. This was a nice touch to end a day of great golf. Participants raved about the format of our tournament and said they would back again next year for sure. Many commented
on this tournament being their favourite of the season! The day didn’t stop there. Participants then headed inside the clubhouse and were treated to a delicious and well deserved dinner. The awards and prizes were then handed out concluding out event. Continuing the tradition of actively supporting charitable foundations within the community that it serves, EMHA hosted a food drive at this year’s golf fundraiser, asking participants to bring in a donation. For each item
of food they brought, golfers were rewarded with additional raffle tickets for the prize table. EMHA was thrilled with the response it received, and will be dropping of a sizable amount of food to the Essex Area Food Bank as a result. None of this would have been possible without our generous sponsors. We would also like to thank the many golfers who came out to play in the event. Again none of this would be possible without your participation.

HawkFest 2015 – A boon for birders
Participants can adopt banded hawks and release them back into the wild at HawkFest 2015.
submitted to EFP It’s not every day that you get to experience one of nature’s great migrations, let alone one that happens in your own
backyard. Ranking in the top three hawk watching spots in North America, the Holiday Beach Conservation Area’s unique geography and
location makes for a grand spectacle every year as tens of thousands of birds of prey make their annual journey to nesting grounds in the south.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PESTICIDE USE
In recognition of their arduous journey, the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), in partnership with the Holiday Beach Migration Observatory (HBMO), will celebrate with Hawk Festival 2015. The festival, which runs over the second and third weekends of September, brings together bird and other wildlife experts to share their expertise with budding naturalists, seasoned pros, and members of the general public. One of the most unique elements of the HawkFest is the ongoing banding and research conducted by the HBMO, which allowed Holiday Beach to become designated as an Important Bird Area of global significance. Whether you are an expert or novice birder, the opportunity to see these magnificent raptors weighed, measured, and banded, and then released back into the wild, is a spectacular moment that visitors will remember for years to come. The festival runs from 9am to 3pm on September 12-13 and 19-20, offering
ongoing programming and a number of educational “walks & talks.” HBMO experts will identify hawks from the Hawk Tower. Attendees can learn about bird banding and adoptions, watch live hawk displays care of Kingsport Environmental and Wild Ontario, and enjoy a bird-centred smart phone scavenger hunt. The educational programs will include HBMO President Bob Pettit with an introduction to identifying hawk species. Jerry Jourdan, of the Erie Shores Birding Association, will demonstrate “digiscoping,” a low-cost solution to photographing distant species. Kory Renaud, of HBMO, will demonstrate the “next generation” of birding with an introduction to new technology and the e-Bird system. Those with an eye

or guardian or the aid of training wheels, is a memory many remember for a lifetime. And often, people remember the bicycle on which they took that first solo ride. On Sunday, the McGuire family of the McGregor/Amherstburg
area invited the community to their home to take part in the third annual Southern Ontario Vintage Bicycle Open House. This event allowed the unique opportunity for fellow vintage bicycle enthusiasts to

contains bicycles and tricycles from 1918 to the mid‘60s. The Southern Ontario Vintage Bicycle Open House is also a way the McGuire Family can preserve a piece of Canadian history by sharing what they know about the company CCM, which was founded in 1899. The show also provides for an opportunity to reminisce, Mark’s wife, Cori said. Most people can relate to a bicycle story.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
Heat Endurance As I write this we are told we will have hot weather by the end of this week. This has not been a hot summer in my experience because we have not had very many 30 degree days. I think back to my childhood when we never knew anyone who had air conditioning. We didn’t need it because our house had double brick walls and was built on a stone foundation. The basement, or cellar- as we called it, was always cool. What are double brick walls? There are two layers of brick with airspace between them. That made great insulation. To support that, the foundation had to be wide. This was another contributor to insulating the inside. That house is now about 150-years old. The last time I drove past the property the house appeared to be in excellent condition. I do not remember the house being hot, but I remember clearly having to undress for bed in the cold. My room had a pipe from that huge furnace in the basement and I stood on the register over it and hurried. But the bed would be cold when I jumped in. Yes, we had hot days and Dad would not make his horses work in the hottest hours of the day which he considered to be from noon until 2 p.m. standard time. I expect he was happy to not have to work during that time, but he was concerned about the horses. After all he did not want to lose one of them to heat exhaustion. Daylight saving was unknown

NOTICE OF INFORMATION SESSION Union Gas Limited Leamington Line Phase II Pipeline Project Union Gas is undertaking to reinforce the natural gas supply to the Leamington and Kingsville areas through the Leamington Line Phase II Pipeline Project. The project will include the construction of a 12-inch diameter natural gas pipeline from the existing Union Gas County Road 14 Station west of Highway 77 south along the abandoned railway/recreational trail to a new station to be constructed north of County Road 18. From the new station approximately 250 metres of 16-inch diameter natural gas pipeline will be built to connect to an existing 10-inch and 6-inch diameter pipeline on County Road 18. Union Gas has engaged Azimuth Environmental Consulting to undertake an Environmental Report for the proposed pipeline. The report will detail the route selection process for the proposed pipeline and the environmental impact and mitigation measures associated with the construction and operation of the proposed facilities. The proposed pipeline route has been identified and is shown on the adjacent map. Azimuth and Union Gas invite you to a Public Information Session on September 16, 2015 at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, 249 Sherk Street, Leamington, between the hours of 5- 8 pm. The purpose of the Public Information Session is to present all aspects of the project to affected landowners, the public, First Nations, Métis and government agencies and provide the opportunity for comment on this proposal. Representatives from Azimuth and Union Gas will be present to answer questions. The final Environmental Report will be included in an application to the Ontario Energy Board whose approval is required before this project can proceed. If approved, construction is proposed to take place in the spring and summer of 2016.

2015 Provincial Champions – “Midget A” Pictured left: Back row: Shane Merritt, Tom O’Neil (coach), Rob Motruk (coach), John Chittle, Zack Diemer, Nik Motruk, Julian Fields, Jake Watters, Colin Steinwender, Evan Harnadek, Kurt Curtis (coach), Nash Prieur. Front row: Wayne Nevin (coach), Colton Vriesacker, Ben Curtis, Matt Posthumus, Michael Diana, Colin MacDonald and Brennden Nevin. Not pictured Glen Harnadek.
submitted to EFP Over the August 28-30th weekend, the Midget Major Team headed to Simoce, Ontario for it’s 2nd Provincial Championship in two years. Coming off back to back Championships in the Sun Parlour / Western Counties Midget Division, the team and coaches were quite optimistic that they had a good shot at winning back to back Ontario Baseball Association Championships. This year they would compete in the “B Division”. This year’s team was the 1st year that the 1997 and 1998 age groups would come together. There was a feeling was that it would be a special year and it played out just as everyone had imagined. This Essex team had great pitching, fielding and unbelievable depth that other teams didn’t have. The team was able to run the schedule in the Midget Division while playing an exhibition schedule with everyone in the area that wanted a game. They entered the London Tournament (June 14th) and were undefeated on Sunday morning when the rain postponed the finals and the finals were not rescheduled. The team headed off to the Chatham Tournament (July 14th ) where they were undefeated going into Sunday morning against St. Thomas. It was on this day that they suffered their first and only loss of the season by a 2-0 margin. The team was disappointed that St. Thomas beat them in a pretty emotional game between the two teams. As luck would have it their first opponent at the Provincial Tournament would be the St. Thomas Cardinals who they beat by a score of 8-1. Jake Watters went for 6 1/3 innings and Ben Curtis 2/3. Essex faced and defeated Simcoe by a score of 7-4 in Game 2. Nik Motruk pitched 4 innings – Colin Steinwender (Win) 2 1/3, and Curtis 1/3 innings. Game three saw Colton Vriesacker on the mound for 6 1/3 and Matthew Posthumus 2/3 innings, in a 4-2 victory over Northumberland. In Game 4 the Yellow Jackets beat St. Thomas by as score of 10-0. John Chittle got the win, pitching for five innings. This sent Essex to the Championship game to face Northumberland who they beat by a score of 6-2 with Brennden Nevin on the mound for 7 innings. The Team finished with a record of 42 wins - 1 loss 2 ties. When taking a minute to reflect on the season these players won’t fully appreciate what they have done as a collective group until they get a bit older and look back on the 2015 Season. Well done.

2015 Provincial Finalist – “Junior A” a score of 9-12. The Essex loss left three teams left in the Tournament. Draw determined which team would get a bye to the Championship while the other two teams faced off for the position. Essex and Creemore faced off with a final score 5-1 for the Yellow Jackets. Brennden Nevin pitched 7 innings for the win.

submitted to EFP Over the August 21 – 23rd weekend, the Essex Yellow Jackets Junior Team went off to Port Lambton for the Provincial Championships for the 1st time in roughly 10 years. This is an age where guys are working full time, going to College/ University and it’s hard to get a big commitment out of them but this team was
comprised of guys who love the game of baseball. With Essex having a strong Midget Team the Juniors have borrowed and depended on the Midget Team to share players with them to ensure they could play all their games in the Mic Mac League where they finished 3rd this season. In Game 1 Essex won by a score of 5-4 over North London with Cory
Lemire taking the win. In Game 2 Essex beat Dundas 13-0. Chris Bondy had the win pitching five innings and Julian Fields pitched for two. Game 3 was another Essex victory. This time Nik Motruk (7 innings) and Jake Watters (1 inning) were on the mound in a 4-2 win over London West. Essex suffered its first loss of the tournament in Game 4 against Peterbourough by
The Championship game put Essex against Peterborough. The game was tied going into the 5th inning at 3-3. A couple of flares fell in for Peterborough to give them a lead and the chance at an O.B.A. The Junior title slipped away from Essex with a final score of Essex Yellow Jackets 4 Peterborough 9. There was a lot of
optimism at the end of the weekend but it was pretty clear that the team was not satisfied with 2nd place and will be looking for a Championship in the 2016 Season. The ground work is in place for a pretty strong Essex Junior Team in the future made up of good ole county boys!

Chuck Lazenby of Stoney Creek, Ontario, was in sales and on the road. One day in 1974, he spotted the rear end of a car sticking out from behind a barn near Elmvale, a town a few miles north of Barrie. He approached the car for a closer look. It was a car he had never seen before and didn’t know what it was. He looked inside and saw a pair of “opera seats” behind the front seat. These are small seats that fold down for a passenger or up to make room for luggage. Chuck thought “that’s a perfect place for my son David to sit when he gets a little older.” He found the owner and bought the car - a rare 1937 McLaughlin-Buick sport coupe built in Oshawa and reportedly owned by the Canadian Navy years earlier. It needed a lot of work. At the time of purchase, Chuck had already decided he would rebuild the car as a street rod. The original 248 cubic inch straight eight engine had a hole through the block and so the engine and 3-speed floor shift transmission stayed behind while Chuck towed the car home to Stoney Creek in the rain. He took the body off the frame and John Dryden, an original member of the Road Runners Car Club in Hamilton, did the body work. New fenders and 4-piece hood were located at a “Buick barn” near Boston, Massachusetts. Chuck drove there just before Christmas and had to dig the parts out of the barn, which was overflowing with parts of all descriptions. He heard of a 350 Chev V8 engine in St. Catharines and installed it along with a 400 Turbo transmission. The original “knee action” front end has been replaced with a Mustang II front clip and the Buick rear end with its torque tube driveshaft has been replaced with a 12-bolt Camaro rear end. The engine is now rated at 410 horsepower with a 4-barrel carb, roller rockers, competition cam, and dual exhausts. The battery (now 12 volt instead of 6) sits in its original position under the passenger side of the front seat. The dash is now equipped with competition gauges. Chuck put the car on the road in 1978 with a gold finish on the body and brown fenders. More recently, he repainted the car with the Dark Plum Purple that’s on it today. He has now driven the car over 200,000 miles with trips to the States and down to PEI. Long live McLaughlin-Buicks! 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 Spencer Revenberg had two carries and rushed for 20 yards and a touchdown to help the Windsor AKO Fratmen to a huge 44-9 win over host Ottawa on Saturday. The win lifts the Fratmen to 3-0 on the season who will be at home on Sept. 12. It was a big night for Cody McCann as he rushed for 46 yards on eight carries. Wide receiver Chris Drouillard had a 20-yard touchdown reception but it was called back due to a penalty. On defence, defensive lineman Dalton Wilkinson had five tackles and a sack. Essex’s Katrina Arnold, a third year goalie with the St. Clair College Saints women’s soccer team, was recently named the Athlete of the Week for that school. EDHS grad Cameron Branch, the Nipissing University Male Athlete of the Year last year, and the men’s volleyball team start the season off against Humber College in an exhibition matchup on Sept. 19. The 6’6” right side hitter was a second year OUA AllStar last year.

Puempel played 13 regular season games and had a pair of goals last season for the Sens.
