by Jennifer Cranston Thousands of people gathered in Harrow over the weekend to enjoy the 159th Harrow Fair. From tractors to pies to quilts to music the Harrow fair had something for every age. One of the major traditions carried on at the fair is the 4-H achievement days. Many 4-H clubs help children learn to raise their own farm animals and the Harrow fair is where many of them come to show off what they’ve learned as well

show off the animals they’ve raised. The kids compete for prizes and many of the animals are auctioned off at the end of the fair. Some even donate their animals to area food banks. You don’t have to live on a farm to raise a farm animal. Thanks to host farms like Wridair Farms, even urban youth can raise a cow through 4-H. Spencer Todman’s uncle owns Wridair and he spent much of his time there. He also participated in 4-H for

about five years when he was a child. He says 4-H taught him a lot about making friends and caring for animals. He says he and his family enjoy hosting the 4-H cows. “We have fun raising the cows. It’s what we do,” he explained. Along with animal competitions, there are dozens of home craft competitions at the fair. From baked goods to baby quilts to photography there is a contest for almost every talent.

Roberta Hernandez was a Home Craft Director; she also entered a few contests herself. Hernandez says she’s been working with the fair for about 25 years. She says while the prizes aren’t huge, it is exciting to compete. “The thrill is coming in and seeing a first place ribbon on your quilt,” she said. She demonstrated one of the other fun parts of competition is when she showed off the crafts entered by her grandchildren

who took home first and second place ribbons. One of the fair’s big draws is the Friday night pie auction. This is where winning pies are auctioned off with the proceeds going to the John McGivney Centre. The first place pie this year was a peach pie made by Mary Taylor of Essex. It was sold to Rick of Austin Roofing for $3,300. In total the auction raised about $12,500 for the local children’s charity. Kayla Humphrey of Bothwell was visiting the fair for the first time. She recently moved to Windsor for University

and her boyfriend Dallas Lypps of Harrow brought her out to get a taste of his hometown. Humphrey had been told to expect good things from the musical entertainment and was looking forward to the Bobby Wills show Saturday night. Lypps particularly enjoyed the Dallas Smith show on Friday night. He said his favorite part of the fair is running into people he hasn’t seen in a while. The Harrow Fair is a country fair that has stayed true to its roots. It’s where you go to see animals and tractors and country music artists. It is an exhibition of skill and talent and the art of country living.

Finding solutions for shortage in Community Housing by Jennifer Cranston Affordable housing in Windsor and Essex County is not as easy to come by as one might think despite higher vacancy rates in the region. There are still waiting lists for subsidized housing on the Central Housing Registry. The statistics include all available housing regardless of cost or safety. Jim Mellor with Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation is a District Manager handling Essex County. He says that finding affordable housing in the County can be difficult. “Right now our biggest need is one bedroom, and four and five bedroom homes,” he said about Windsor and the County as a region. “In the county we also need two, three, four and five bedroom units.” Community Housing only has 41 family units in the county and they are all in Amherstburg and Leamington. There are 13 buildings in the county with one-bedroom apartments. At one time all of those one-bedroom apartments were seniors-only buildings. About 15 years ago the need for housing in the county for teens and other single adults prompted the government to make the buildings

available to all age groups. Mellor says that while it is a good thing that younger people have access to affordable housing, it can be difficult to integrate teens and seniors in the same community. There are still seniorsonly buildings in Windsor. There is a growing solution for the lack of subsidized family units in the County. There are programs where the subsidy is portable. Meaning it moves with the client rather than being fixed to a particular dwelling. Income Affordable Housing, Rent Supplement Commercial and Rent Supplement Strong Communities are only a few of the programs in the region that can help to subsidize rent in the private sector. Many of these programs are administered through Community Housing as well as other organizations. As long as a person or family qualifies for Subsidized Housing, they can qualify for a rent supplement program. The partnership with a private landlord has some requirements. The home must pass fire and building inspections that the landlord acquires through the municipality. The rent must not exceed average market rent for the region. For example a one bedroom dwelling

- Lily Tomlin

in Essex County may not exceed $655 per month. If a single person is on Ontario Works, they are allowed $376 for shelter. Through one of these supplement programs, the balance of that rent can be subsidized. Someone who is working would be expected to pay about 30 per cent of his or her gross income with the balance being subsidized. There are small adjustments to the formula when utilities are not included in the rent. Mellor says that he also uses some “unofficial criteria” to determine if a particular unit is suitable for a given client. He looks at each location for safety and accessible amenities. Mellor says his office works hard to match the best program to the individual. “We will help an individual find the program that fits them financially and physically,” he said. He said that communication with the people who come into his office and the use of the portable rent supplement programs in the county is a good indicator that families of all sizes need affordable housing in the county.

“Where the future is right now is in rent supplement,” said Mellor. “I can see supplement programs being significantly higher.” This idea is beneficial to everyone involved. It is good for landlords because it helps them to eliminate vacancies. It is also better for the tenants. The fact that all of the Community Housing Corporation’s family housing in the county is integrated has resulted in an interesting phenomenon. “When subsidized housing is more integrated, it raises the emotional state of the tenants and their quality of life. It also improves their future potential,” said Mellor. “It really is amazing to watch.” Another factor is that well integrated subsidized housing eliminates many of the social problems that seem to thrive in areas where subsidized housing is condensed.

Car show ushers in fall season at CTMHV

Bob and Janis Dixon were presented the Best in Show award for their 1937 LincolnZephyr during the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s annual Fall Festival of Cars event.

by Sylene Argent Auto enthusiasts revved their engines and polished their unique, antique, and custom vehicles to take part in the Canadian

Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s annual Fall Festival of Cars event on Sunday. Mickey Moulder, Vice Chairperson of the

Museum, was pleased with the turnout. Around 300 people entered their unique vehicles in the show, and the traffic on site during the event was

outstanding. Not only did the Fall Festival of Cars offer the community an opportunity to view hundreds of antique and custom vehicles, it also gave vendors a chance to sell rare auto parts and for auto buffs to look at vehicles available for purchase in the car corral. Moulder was pleased with the weather on Sunday. The sunshine provided a comfortable atmosphere for the annual outdoor event. Some of the vehicles museum volunteers had on site for display were a ’37 Packard, a 1940 Ford Convertible, and a WWII Jeep. One of the unique displays on site, he said, was an early 1900s steam powered tractor. The museum awarded three $100 first place prizes and four $50

runner-up prizes to outstanding entries during the car show. Volunteers at the museum were also happy to present Janis and Bob Dixon the Best in Show award for their 1937 Lincoln-Zephyr. The impressive vehicle is a 12-cylinder coupe. Bob noted the car’s style attracted him to purchase the vehicle 24 years ago. It was restored when he purchased it. 1937, he added, was the first year the car was made as a three-window coupe. To help raise funds for the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s Children’s Education Program volunteers host events like the Fall Festival Car Show throughout the year. Two vehicles will also be raffled off in December. Tickets for the draw are

available at the museum. The car raffle prizes are a ’92 Firebird and an ’81 Monte Carlo. Volunteers are looking forward to hosting the spooky and chilling annual village murder mystery on October 26, just in time to welcome in Halloween. Volunteers also plan to host another three-day rodeo next summer. The 2012 rodeo held at the CTMHV site was voted to be the best rodeo event of the year by the Ontario Rodeo Association. The 2014 event will be similar to last year’s. Instead of a rodeo this year, the CTMHV hosted a Western Day event, which was a sanctioned Southern Ontario Trail Riders Club point award show.

Railway Station receives donation The Essex Railway Station has a new artifact on display as a promotional lithograph produced before the turn of the 19th century was presented to the station last month. This authentic piece was once owned by Canada’s fifth Prime Minister, MacKenzie Bowell, and depicts the Colorado Midland Railway’s Pikes Peak route through Hagerman Pass in Colorado. Most likely Bowell received the picture when serving as Canada’s railway minister. Bowell followed John About as Prime Minister and served from 1894-1896. These were tumultuous years as Bowell’s government dealt with the contentious Manitoba School question. Although Bowell was a skilled administrator, he was viewed by many of his fellow Conservations as the wrong person to serve as leader at that time. Earlier in his long career, Bowell helped organize the Belleville Volunteer Militia Company and served at

Amherstburg during the tense U.S. Civil War period. He remained in parliament until his death in 1917 at the age of 93. The lithograph was a gift to Heritage Essex Inc., which operates the Essex Railway Station on behalf of the Town of Essex. It was donated courtesy of the Gary Honey family of Leamington. It is on display in the grand waiting room of the station.

Kingsville Carnegie Arts Centre commemorates War of 1812

Kingsville resident Ray Marentette was happy to display his art work at the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre over the weekend.

by Sylene Argent There were many events going on in Kingsville over the Labour Day

weekend, and the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre was part of it. To go along with the weekend theme, where the community welcomed tall ships into the Kingsville Harbour and celebrated the bicentennial of the War of 1812 through an array of events, the Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre had special art on display. Centre staff and volunteers displayed several of Windsor native Peter Rindlisbacher’s paintings that had War of 1812 themes. Prints were also for sale during the weekend. Area residents and visitors were welcome to view the art on display in the Carnegie building, and take part in a host of other activities taking place at the Centre, which included a magic show and an illusionist. Kingsville BIA Coordinator Sarah Holland was impressed with the high traffic of visitors over the weekend. She noted that by Saturday afternoon around 200 art enthusiasts stopped by the building to take in the art displays.

This week, Essex District High School students returned to the classroom. For some – Grade Nine students and students transferring in from other districts – the experience will be a new one. For the rest, it’s old hat, business as usual. But in a couple of years, that won’t be the case. Essex District High School is undergoing a rebuild process that will see most of the older structure replaced by a new facility. E.D.H.S. is the latest school in Essex Centre to be overhauled. Holy Name School is a fairly new facility and Essex Public School opened its doors just a few years ago. For young families looking for

communities in which to raise their children, having modern schools in place is a plus. Score one for Essex Centre. The new high school promises to be state-of-the-art. That means it will accommodate new tech. There’s even talk of retaining Sun Parlor Junior School and incorporating it into the Essex District High School experience as expansion or need requires, so E.D.H.S. would have a campus – a campus that could be nicely developed. We need to boast a bit about our new schools. It’s something that we have going for us and it’s something we can use as inspiration and to build upon. I hope that the students at

E.D.H.S. aren’t too disrupted by the construction going on there. I hope they are excited about the possibilities the new facility might bring. One thing that does bother me about the new build is that we will be losing some history when the old facility goes down. I know that people are exploring ways to preserve some of it. If they do decide to make Sun Parlor Junior School a part of a campus of some sort, maybe parts of the old school could be incorporated into the campus design, such as a memory wall serving as a feature on the grounds.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Where have all the merchants gone? Why are there so many empty stores? If we try to answer that we realize several store owners have retired or reduced their work load by having fewer stores. Then we start wondering if most people in the new subdivisions go to Windsor malls. Two of the larger housing units and the Viscount Estates are so very near the by-pass that I tend to think they hop onto it to go shopping. Then we think our grocery stores seem to be busy and our butcher shop draws people from a distance. So those people may do other shopping when here. I think the fact is strong that we do not have the variety of stores to provide a satisfactory shopping experience in Essex. Where do men buy their clothes and their shoes? Often I have to go to Windsor for an item that is impossible to find here and there is a tendency to do other shopping while there. All of this ramble about the why won’t help much. What we need to be discussing is what can be done about it. Isn’t it up to our town officials and staff to take action?

What about tax incentives to bring new business? I recall a council of years ago being asked to provide incentive to bring industry when the industrial park was being established and the response was, we cannot expect the residents to subsidize industry by allowing a reduced tax rate for business. No vision there. Having the expansion would soon bring an increase in the tax revenues. Is there anyone who contacts developers to build a hotel, for instance? Or to encourage stores like Freeds to establish a sub-store in Essex? There seems to be an attitude of sit back and hope new business will come. When I came to Essex not long after the end of World War II there were some empty stores but in a few years all were filled and I was told by new business people they felt Essex was the best place to establish and that they had to wait a long time for a place to become available. One asset is our location in the centre of the county. Tearing down an empty store that held great opportunities was not the answer.

Kingsville anchors tall ship festivities

by Sylene Argent The sheer size of a tall ship is impressive, and the way they moved across the open water of Lake Erie over the weekend, for many, was breath taking. Over the Labour Day weekend, Kingsville opened its harbour to welcome in a few tall

ships as part of the region wide Coastal Trails Sails to See Festival. The Sails to See Festival was a regional festival shared between the ports at Amherstburg, Kingsville, Pelee Island, and Windsor. Between the ports eight tall ships were anchored in the region for

the festivities. Over the weekend in Kingsville, area residents and visitors were able to get a sense of the life of a sailor in the days of the tall ships as they boarded the vessels anchored at the Kingsville Harbour. They were able to get a sailoreye-view of the vessels, explore the equipment, and speak with some of the ships’ crew. Kingsville’s festivities officially kicked off on Friday evening with the harbour-side dinner, which had over 200 guests enjoy the view of the Lake Erie shoreline, locally produced product, and the sight of the anchored tall ships. “The majestic setting,” Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos said, “was a truly wonderful way to kick off the event.” The festivities continued on Saturday with plenty of entertainment at Lakeside Park, which included clowns for youth to enjoy and a special appearance

from the Border City Barkers agility dogs, an 1812 commemorative parade, the official dedication of Kingsville’s second Peace Garden located at Lakeside Park, and finished with the Symphony of Sound and Light show. The parade, Santos said, was Kingsville’s largest parade in history. It included ten marching bands that came from areas such as Michigan and Toronto to participate. “It was amazing to see the bands and the culture that came with that festival in celebrating the bicentennial,” he commented. Later, on Saturday night, the bands that participated in the parade were invited to take part in a friendly challenge in the lower bowl of Lakeside Park. “It’s a very busy weekend, not just in Kingsville, but across the region. It is exciting to be a part of something that really celebrates who we

are today,” Santos said. Denise Meagher is the captain of the all-female tall ship named Unicorn. She began her sailing career as a volunteer in 1998, and eventually changed her life style to pursue her passion of sailing. “I volunteered a lot, and eventually ran away to sea. I quit my job [as a biochemist], sold my house and started working fulltime in about 2003,”she said. Her passion for sailing began when she saw a wooden tall ship sail

down a river and thought to herself ‘that is the coolest thing I have ever seen.’ She found out more information about tall ships and learned training was available. Two weeks later she was on the boat as a volunteer. “It was great. It was the best experience I had ever had,” Meagher said. The 2013 tour has been hectic, Meagher noted with a smile. “It’s a lot of cities, a lot of ports, a lot of miles, [on] a very tight schedule. Every place we go to has

Kingsville dedicates its second Peace Garden

by Sylene Argent On Saturday, amongst the hustle and bustle of the region-wide Coastal Trails Sails to See Festival, community members took a moment to gather near the Lake Erie shoreline at Lakeside Park to officially dedicate Kingsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Peace Garden. The Lakeside Park Peace Garden is the 12th to be officially dedicated along the Lake Erie coastline in Southwestern Ontario. Margaret Laman, a member of the Kingsville Horticulture Society, said the dedication of the Peace Garden is a result of the provincial sponsorship provided through Landscape Ontario, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and the Arts Network for Children and Youth. A host of corporate community sponsors also contributed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This garden is a testament to the 200 years of peace recognized today between Canada and the United States,â&#x20AC;? Laman said. With a cool breeze coming off of the shoreline, she asked the audience to â&#x20AC;&#x153;close your eyes and visualize the birch bark canoes going

Locally, arrowheads have been found indicating out first Nation partners camped near this very sight.â&#x20AC;? The gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design flows naturally with the layout of the park, Laman noted. The boulders and stones were donated locally. The gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designers tried to emulate the 1812 period and hope it is appealing. Volunteers, she added, worked hard to complete the Peace Garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a labour intensive project

of which we can all be proud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the coming generation will enjoy this message of peace and friendship,â&#x20AC;? Laman commented. CEO of Tourism Wi n d s o r- E s s e x - P e l e e Island, Gordon Orr, said it was fitting to pause during the Coastal Trail Sails to See Festival to recognize and dedicate Kingsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Peace Garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely beautiful. A lot of work obviously went into it. This park is a treasured community asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This garden is a wonderful addition to it for not only the

community but visitors alike.â&#x20AC;? Orr continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We truly are one region with countless stories and this Peace Garden is another wonderful addition to help share that story.â&#x20AC;? Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos noted Lakeside Park is a Heritage Designated property. The pavilion will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year. The dedication of the Peace Garden was part of recognizing the heritage of the Kingsville community. In the near future, a sign will be posted on the site to commemorate the history of the park and the 200 years of peace since the War of 1812. The location for the Peace Garden was ideal as it is based near the calming waters of Lake Erie, Santos said. He added that Kingsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Peace Garden was dedicated last September and is located at the Kingsville Carnegie Arts & Visitors Centre. Arlene White, a representative from the Binational Alliance and the Bicentennial Heritage Peace Garden Trail, attended the ceremony. She praised all the volunteers who worked hard to contribute to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a humbling experience to be able to tell the stories of the great communities around the Great Lakes,â&#x20AC;? White said. After the celebrations of the Bicentennial have been completed White noted that gardens would continue to be added with historic themes. Historian and reenactor Doug Robinson then portrayed Shaymus â&#x20AC;&#x153;the storytellerâ&#x20AC;? Gunn to tell the story of two young brothers involved in the War of 1812 as they made their way to Fort Amherstburg and eventually signed up to serve their country. He also explained the roles they played in the war. As part of presentation, two voyageur re-enactors fired two rounds from their muskets, not to glorify war, but to signify the start and the end of the War of 1812.

Meagher said that the Unicorn was built in 1947 as part of a Dutch built fleet of fishing vessels. The boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original name was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eenhoorn,â&#x20AC;? which is Dutch for Unicorn.

Around 13 years ago the ship was brought to the U.S. In 2005, the new owners started Sisters under Sail. The Unicorn, Meagher said, is the only all-female operated tall ship in the world. On Monday, the Unicorn was one of the many tall ships re-enacting the Battle of Lake Erie at Put-in-Bay.

Rickeard a champion on the track The Voice Of Experience

Brett Rickeard next to the go-karts he races. by Fred Groves Brett Rickeard has a need for speed. The 17-year-old Essex District High School student has been racing go-karts for several years now and it is a passion that has won him several trophies, including the recent one for the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship. Racing go-karts that are less than two inches off the ground and can reach top speeds of 80 miles per hour, takes skill and a lot of courage. “It is really intense, it’s an adrenaline rush. It’s challenging, you just can’t

walk out there, it takes lots of practice,” said Rickeard from his home near Cottam. Rickeard is a regular at the Pelee track in Leamington where he is mentored by Pete Rempel who has his own share of trophies. With the help of his father Darin, who takes care of the maintenance of his two karts, Rickeard is looking forward to a big race at the Pelee track. “We have one more big race. It’s for $1,000 and its Sept. 8 in Leamington.” Making money, even enough to cover expenses is nearly impossible in

this sport. Rickeard and his dad are very thankful for the sponsors they have who help out with about half of the $12,000 budget they need each year to race. Tires are the biggest cost. Darin said they go through about $5,000 in rubber alone. “We are lucky we have good sponsors. They have been there since Day One,” said Darrin. The Rickeard racing crew has two karts. There is the four-cylinder, 6.5 horsepower one that can run up to 60 mph and goes into the senior medium and senior heavy class.

Their two-cylinder 125 cc can reach speeds of 80 mph and is in one called the Senior Tag division. They also have the option of switching out the Honda engine and putting in a Briggs engine. Each track they race on is different so it takes patience and persistence to win such events as the Ontario Grand Nationals like they did recently in Shannonville. “I could be racing against guys 20 years older than me,” Brett said. “I know what goes on around the tracks now. I am not the new person.” He said that he is a much more aggressive person when he is behind the wheel and if given the opportunity, would like to move up to larger cars to race. Rickeard has been lucky and has avoided any major accidents but, as he showed off his two karts including one that has some marks on it, he noted, “If you are not bumpin, you’re not racing.”

by Evelyn Couch

Our enterprising men Over the years we have had many men (yes, all were men) in our community who invented something original for Ontario or Canada or whose business was given a franchise by a national company. Did you know that Maedel Beverages had the first Pepsi franchise in Ontario and the second in Canada? You must have heard that Hill brothers invented the first motorcycle in Canada. The first adjustable Canadian ladder was made here. It was of wood. Ernest King made the first aluminum extension ladder and after he made improvements he was told he had the best aluminum ladder in North America. John Wass invented the valve seat that rescued the car industry and made many tools needed for war vehicles. Then there are other accomplishments, such as the first Ontario agricultural office, the first county high school, the first full service medical centre, the first arena for a town of our size at the time. There is more and it is great news that our seniors are making plans to have a mural painted that will make all that known. They have great ideas but have to find funding and/or grants. More power to them!

73’s edge Admirals 4-3 in pre-season action Sharing Hometown Recipes, Cooking Tips and Coupons By Janet Tharpe

Stellar South of the Border Corn Pudding “Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!”

Essex goalie Chris Wallace pokes at the puck during pre-season action in Amherstburg last week.

by Fred Groves With nine returning forwards, cracking the lineup of the Essex 73’s is not an easy task this year. One decision that has already been made by the defending Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ Hockey League champs, was inking centre Eric Shaw. On Wednesday night, Essex was in Amherstburg facing the newest franchise in the nine-team league, the Admirals. Essex fell behind 1-0 early but came back to win 4-3 in pre-season action. Shaw had a nifty goal from close range. “I am excited to be here,” Shaw said after the game. “I played all my minor hockey in Amherstburg. I am glad they (Admirals) are doing so well.” A year ago he was carded as an “affiliated player” with the 73’s but this season he is full-time and is expected to be a

contributing factor. “We used him last year in the Schmalz Cup finals. We were nervous he’d be lost to us because he is an Amherstburg player but luckily, the way the rules are, we got him. He was the first new player we signed,” said Essex coach Gil Langlois. Against the Admirals, who came to Essex on Tuesday for a pre-season contest, veteran Daniel McIntyre led the way with a goal and an assist while fellow returnee Daniel Slipchuck had a pair of tallies. “I like the way the guys were thinking. We challenged them in the dressing room with some concepts,” said Langlois. Prospects Tyler Scott and Dallas Pereira had great efforts as they each put up a pair of assists for the winners. Besides Slipchuck and McIntyre, Matthew Hebert was the only

other returnee who played. “We’ve got six guys, at least, who can play Junior ‘C’ and we’ve got three openings. This is the time of year coaches hate because you have to tell a kid he can’t play,” said Langlois. Searching for a new goaltender is another area the 73’s have to address and against the Admirals hopefuls Jake Walton and Chris Wallace both looked sharp. Wallace turned away 12 shots while Walton made 17 stops. “I thought both goalies played fine and made the saves they had to,” said Langlois. SLAPSHOTS… Essex’s home opener is Tuesday, Sept. 10 against the Wallaceburg Lakers. New game time start is 7:15…Nearly 88-yearyoung Frank Matthys, returns to the bench for his 41st season.

Essex Rookie Travel OBA Tournament submitted to EFP Over the Labour Day weekend the Essex Rookie Travel Baseball team participated in the OBA tournament in Leamington. Essex’s first game was scheduled for Friday, August 30 against a solid team from Dorchester. After a scoreless first inning, Brysen Dr. lined a double allowing Ajin V. to drive him home giving Essex a 1-0 lead. At the top of the third inning, Essex took a 5-1 lead highlighted by a two run double courtesy of Konner M. Dorchester chipped away at the

lead eventually getting to within one run by the end of the fourth inning despite a solid defensive 6-4-3 double play by Braydin M., Tyson G. and Luke W. Essex extended its lead with a three run fifth inning, highlighted by Brayden M.’s RBI double. The score was 8-8 going into the seventh and final inning. Jake T. provided a RBI single to put Essex up 9-8 going into the bottom of the seventh. Dorchester added one of their own, forcing the game into extra innings. In the first extra frame, Luke W. led off with a double and was immediately brought

home by Hayden V. Tyler T., Riley L., Tyson G. and Konner M. all added RBI singles to allow Essex to take a commanding 14-9 lead. Emmit P. and Collin H. each had singles to keep the inning alive. Essex was able to shut the door on Dorchester in the bottom of the 8th after Konner M. made the catch of the season in right center field. Game two was on Saturday against Tillsonburg. After some early jitters by the Essex defense in the top of the first inning, Tillsonburg abruptly took a 4-0 lead. The Essex defense quickly turned around but their bats went ice cold. By the time Essex came to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning, they were down 8-0. Finally the Essex bats came alive with their first four runs on the heels of RBIs by Luke W., Ajin

V. and a two run double by Tyler T. to close the Tillsonburg lead to 8-4. This score remained into the final inning. Essex had the bases loaded with one out but all they could muster was one run, losing 8-5 to Tillsonburg. It was a hard fought game by Essex against the team that eventually went on to become the OBA champions of the tournament. Game three was Saturday night against Strathroy. This game kept the coaching staff on their toes as three players suddenly experienced flulike symptoms just before game time. The coaches managed quick changes to the batting order on the fly, all the while keeping the boys focused on the game. Essex took a 4-0 lead in the first inning highlighted by Tyler T.’s Continued on Page 21

Essex Mosquito Team Provincial Champs

Pictured are the Provincial Champions from left to right: (front row) Blake Harnadek, Tyler Fuerth, (kneeling) Luka Markett, Liam Hall, Carter Tomkins, (standing) Bobby Sweet, Kaidyn Blair, Josh O’neil, Austin Magee, Mackie Jones, Devin DeCaluwe, and coaches: Dave Kigar, Kevin Hall, Glen Harnadek, and Ed Fuerth.

submitted to EFP On Labor Day weekend,

Kingsville hosted the Ontario Baseball Association

Championships for Mosquito (10 and 11 year old) players. The Essex Yellow Jackets played Dresden first. Kaidyn Blair and Josh O’Neil together pitched five shutout innings and both went 3 for 3 at the plate. Carter Tomkins went 3 for 3 including a two run triple in the fifth to ensure we got the mercy rule victory. Essex won, 13 – 0 in five innings. After a bye in the second round, our third round opponent was a tough team from Exeter. Our defense was a little soft this game, but thankfully our whole team hit well. 10 of our 11 players reached base and seven different players scored. Luka Markett, Bobby Sweet and Carter led the way, each reaching base 2 out of 3 at bats.

Essex held on for a 12 – 8 win. We knew our defense would have to be better, as we played a very good St. Mary’s team that had a 12 – 2 season record. Right from the first pitch, our defense was awesome. Liam Hall and Devin DeCaluwe did great on the mound, striking out four and getting ground balls and fly balls, which were automatic outs. Luka’s triple in the fifth, followed by him scoring on a passed ball, gave us a 2 – 1 lead. We scored two more in the sixth for a great 4 – 1 win. Tyler Fuerth, Devin and Kaidyn led us offensively and went a combined 7 for 9 at the plate. On Sunday morning we faced Harrow in the semi-finals. We hit the ball hard again, led by Mackie Jones and Tyler who hit line drive home runs, and Blake Harnadek who hit a long bomb solo shot. Austin Magee had

a sweet swing going and was our hardest hitter all weekend. Essex earned a spot in the finals with a 14 – 4 win. The championship game featured the two best teams in the tournament. St. Mary’s had shut out every team they played, except Essex, who was undefeated. With our ace Liam Hall on the mound, we would turn the tables and shut them down. Liam threw five strikeouts and had error free defense behind him, while our whole team chipped in offensively. 10 of 11 batters reached base as we opened a 5 – 0 lead going into the final inning. With Essex needing two outs, Devin came in and threw two strikeouts, and Essex was crowned Provincial Champions. Congratulations to Liam Hall who was awarded the MVP.

Essex Rookie Travel OBA ... RBI double. In the bottom of the third inning Braydin M. lined a RBI double and Konner M. continued his hot hitting streak with a two run double to give Essex a 7-1 lead. Going into the bottom of the fifth inning Essex was up 7-4. They brought home another four runs to take a 11-4 lead courtesy of a double by Luke W., single by Jake T. and a triple from Braydin M. After letting in four runs in the seventh inning, Essex came out victorious with an 11-8 win, advancing to the semifinals. The semifinal game

was Sunday morning against Leamington. Essex beat Leamington in June to win the Wyoming tournament so the Lakers were looking for their revenge. Unfortunately, Saturday’s rash of stomach ailments continued for Essex’s all star second baseman Tyson G. as he was relegated to the sidelines. In the top of the first inning, Luke W. and Jake T. each had backto-back two out doubles to put Essex ahead 1-0. Leamington exploded with five runs in the bottom of the third to take a commanding 6-1 lead.

Continued from Page 16

Brysen Dr. added a RBI single in the fourth inning but that was all Essex could muster. Final score was 13-2 for Leamington, leaving the boys in a third place standing. tournament This brought the end of a very successful season for the Essex Rookie Travel Team and they should be proud of their accomplishments. A heartfelt thank you to the coaching staff of Tim, Rick, Doug, and Justin for all the instructional hours they spent with the boys in helping their development of baseball skills.

Soccer tournament draws limited crowd

Winnipeg to Windsor in a 1938 Ford convertible

1938 Ford convertible coupe with rumble seat in Manitoba around 1956. Note wide whitewalls and fender skirts. What a beauty! Front view of the 1938 Ford with radio aerial mounted above centre of windshield and “Manitoba-type” windshield panels for winter driving. The RCAF barracks are visible in the background.

In the summer of 1958, when I was 16, my older brother John and I acquired a 1940 Buick Super coupe in our hometown of Leamington, Ontario. I spent my spare time that summer driving around Essex County in search of other old cars. One day, I saw a lavender-coloured (light purple) 1938 Ford convertible with rumble seat on a street in Windsor. I saw it again a few weeks later at Bob Gault’s FINA gas station in nearby Harrow. I never saw the car again until 55 years later, when the two photos you see here turned up, thanks to Bob Taylor of Kingsville, Ontario. I met Bob recently at the Leamington Chrysler dealership when our family car was in for servicing. He had owned a customized 1952 Plymouth convertible in Windsor in the late ‘50s and he said it had been a big hit at the Hi-Ho drive-in restaurant. When he mentioned the Hi-Ho, I immediately remembered the ’38 Ford ragtop I had seen over 50 years ago. With its non-original paint job, it was the type of car that would show up at a drive-in restaurant and so I asked Bob if he remembered seeing it. Imagine my surprise when he told me the car was owned by his brother-in-law, Chris Smith, and Bob remembers riding in the rumble seat! Chris owned the car while stationed at an RCAF base in Winnipeg in 1956 and brought it with him when he moved to Windsor. I asked Bob if he had any photos. His sister Pat turned the house upside-down and finally found the two you see here inside a Jaguar photo album! If this convertible was built in Canada, it had a Windsor factory price of $950 and Toronto-delivered for $1039 (license included). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches with 85 horsepower and a 3-speed floor shift transmission. But the story doesn’t end here. Was it bought new in Manitoba? Who painted it lavender and when? Does anyone out there or down here have more photos of it? And – most exciting of all – is the car still around? Stay tuned. I’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: “Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.”

by Jennifer Cranston A soccer tournament in Harrow over the weekend could not compete with the Harrow Fair. Tournament organizer Dave McLarty billed the event as an international tournament with teams representing Iraq, Somalia, Guatemala, Nigeria, Canada and other nations. The teams were comprised of Canadians and Canadian immigrants who came together to represent their countries of origin. There were several vendors lined up and music representing several different cultures. “The music I have lined up covers seven or eight different cultures from bluegrass to reggae, I even have an orchestra,” said McLarty. Bands scheduled to play included the The Source, The Sellouts, Dream Catcher, Black Orchids, Joel York, and the Windsor Youth Symphony. McLarty said that bad weather on Friday night damaged the band tent, but they had recovered by Saturday afternoon. McLarty said that by Saturday afternoon many of the vendors had packed up and left due to poor turn out. In spite of his bad luck, he says that the Harrow soccer complex is a beautiful facility and it should be used for more tournaments in the future.
