Harrow Fair celebrates local agriculture and arts

A LOOK INSIDE

“I think it’s a great honour for me to be able to play in front of my hometown crowd,” McDonald explained prior to the performance. “Back in 1997, I opened here for Jason McCoy by myself. That was the last time I played here. So today, it’s a real honour to play here.” McDonald also explained the Harrow Fair was, and continues to be, a great opportunity to highlight the benefits and culture of smalltown and country living to people who may not be all that familiar with the lifestyle. “It’s so important for the city people to come out to a country fair, without a beer tent, and see all the livestock, and have the families enjoy everything that a small-town country fair has to

PAGE 18 _______________

by Adam Gault The community celebrated an Essex County tradition, older than Canada itself, over the Labour Day weekend as the 164th annual Harrow Fair took place. Thousands of visitors descended on the Harrow Fairgrounds to celebrate local arts and agriculture over the course of the fun-filled, four-day event. Visitors to the fair had the opportunity to get up close with prize-winning farm animals. They also got to see longstanding fair traditions, such as the annual pie auction, homemade crafts and quilts displays, equestrian

competitions, and an incredible array of live entertainment. The Timmy Mac Band took to the stage on Sunday afternoon, which Harrow native, Tim McDonald, fronted. With its classic rock, county, and folk sound, the four-piece band kept the crowd rocking with its original compositions and covers of classic hits. This performance marked the first time the area band had taken to the stage at the Harrow Fair. It was also the first time in more than 20 years that McDonald himself had taken to the stage at the illustrious event.

offer,” McDonald said. “And I think that’s why it’s been so big for so many years, for that one reason.” In addition to incredible local musical performances, one can’t think of the Harrow Fair without the contributions from so many in the local agricultural industry, which includes awardwinning animals that continue to showcase Essex County as one of the country’s premier farming communities. 13-year-old Taylor Brush has been involved at the fair for several years now, and in addition to her involvement with 4-H, she won top prizes for showing cattle from Harrow-based farm, Haystack Acres. “It was about five years ago when I came to the Harrow Fair and [Haystack Acres was] here showing in a ten and under class,” Brush explained of her early involvement in showing. “I just wanted to try it, and I showed a 1300-pound bull my first time. After that, I tried 4-H my first year when I was

nine, and I just really like it, so I keep doing it every year.” Numerous factors are taken into consideration when judging a bovine presentation, including the straightness of the animal’s back, hindquarters, the depth of the ribs, as well as the condition of the feet. The quality of the animal, however, is not the only consideration when it comes to top prize. How the presenter controls and presents the animal is just

as important to the overall awarding process. But to many like Brush, the most important and memorable part of the Harrow Fair are not the awards or prizes, but the connections and friendships made, which can last a lifetime. “[It is] all the different friendships you make throughout all of it, and it’s fun just to be around everyone, and share the really good experiences.”

Harrow Fair pie auction raises record amount

Harrow Fair auctioneer, Jack Morris, takes bids at the annual pie auction.

by Adam Gault A tasty tradition, with a quarter of a century of success, continued this past Thursday, August 30, as the Harrow Fair’s annual pie auction raised a record setting $21,895 for the John McGivney

Children’s Centre (JMCC), which supports children and youth with special needs. More than 70 pies were auctioned off from the Fair’s main stage by auctioneer Jack Morris, who has helmed every

pie auction since the tradition began. Many of the auctioned pies easily fetched more than several hundred dollars a piece, with the event’s first place treat, a peach pie that Katrina Klomp made, going for an astonishing $3,750. “We are absolutely thrilled to have this ongoing relationship with the Fair,” JMCC Director Lucy Coppola said. “Since the records

have been kept, since 2000, we’ve raised almost $200,000, and we couldn’t be happier to continue this.” A pie for every personal taste was available at the auction, from classic dessert pies like apple, blueberry, and pumpkin, to mincemeat and other dinner favourites, with even some diabeticfriendly options available to the more than one hundred eager bidders who took part in the event. Funding from the event will continue to support the JMCC, which helps nearly 3000 special needs children a year at their Windsor-based facility, as well as with handson support at their local schools. JMCC provided services include personal assessments, supporting treatments, family consultations, educational support, and accessibility to wheelchairs and other mobility devices for greater freedom and independence.

OPINION & COMMENT The opinions expressed on these pages are those of their original authors and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Essex Free Press, its Editor or Publisher.

Last week, we read about 11-yearold Girl Guide from Kingsville, Isabella Cowan-Rivera, and how she raised $400 to support Camp Bryerswood. She is also hoping others would fundraise to support the camp as well as the article noted Girl Guides of Canada announced its intention to sell off all of its 17 Ontario campgrounds by 2020. Bryerswood Youth Camp Optimist Club is appealing to the courts to allow Bryerswood to remain operated locally. The money she, and others, are raising, will support a business plan that has had the camp incorporated into a-notfor-profit organization two months ago. It is hoped $15,000 is raised to cover the legal costs. Firstly, I always applaud the efforts of a youth who sees a need and steps up to show support. Secondly, I could certainly relate to Isabella, who said she had many positive experiences at the camp, as a former Bryerswood Camper myself. I was a Girl Guide, Spark, Brownie, and Pathfinder, and certainly enjoyed

the many, many times I was able to camp at Bryerswood throughout my youthful years. I remember the first time I camped there, walking along the campgrounds with my friend from my Girl Guide group. I was nervous to say goodbye to the family for a week, but excited to see the pool, the cabins, the pavilion, and craft area. I had a great time each camp experience, and made many new friends. I remember one time, we had a bloody moon and one of the older campers told a rendition of the story of Bloody Mary. No one slept well that night, in fact, I remember one of my friends scared to tears, which the rest of us felt was a little over dramatic. Camp Bryerswood is also where I camped out in the middle of winter. That was quite the experience, but one I can say I did. I managed to stay out all night, despite the freezing temperatures, in my tent. Only one other girl in the group could claim the same. The rest retreated into the general cabin over the course of the

evening, one-by-one. We had insulated the tent with snow blocks and came prepared with the essential items to keep us warm over the course of the night. I remember the shocking feeling of the cold air hugging my body every time I changed positions and listening to the tent’s sides rattling in the wind, as if it was breathing. I didn’t get a great night of sleep that night, but I was determined to make it to dawn, just for the bragging rights and sense of accomplishment. I would hope the camp could be around for many, many more years so others could enjoy it as much as I did. Those who would like to donate can do so on the GoFundMe page, https://www.gofundme.com/ bryerswood-youth-camp.

Commentary - OFA

Where does Canada go from here in NAFTA negotiations? by Keith Currie, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture

Canadian agriculture and our trading opportunities are in a very precarious position as trade negotiations between Mexico and the U.S. appear to be moving forward. It’s an extremely unfortunate situation for our industry and our country, as Mexico appears to have caved under the undoubtedly heavy handed approach of the U.S. These latest negotiations excluded Canada – even though we are a much more significant trading partner. For the past many months, Canada has been at the table in an attempt to negotiate a new trilateral trade agreement with the U.S. and Mexico – to replace the 24year old North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that U.S. President Trump believes is grossly unfair… only for Americans. Mexico and the U.S. have recently agreed in principle to a new bilateral U.S./Mexico Free Trade Agreement. The basic content of the agreement was released in statements this week by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The deal is far from done but the fundamentals are there. The vaguely worded agreement includes new provisions between the U.S. and Mexico that cover trade in several manufacturing sectors, and its release included a document entitled “Strengthening NAFTA for Agriculture” that states “while agriculture has generally performed well under NAFTA, important improvements in the agreement will enable food and agriculture to trade

more fairly.” These are the details that catch the attention of Canadian negotiators as they scramble to understand the deal to determine if the terms are acceptable to Canada as part of a new NAFTA framework. Canadian trade interests will also need to be incorporated. For the first time, the U.S./Mexico agreement specifically addresses agricultural biotechnology – with the two countries agreeing to enhance information exchange and cooperate on ag biotech trade-related matters. Another first is an agreement by the U.S. to not restrict market access in Mexico for certain U.S. labelled cheeses. Likewise, whiskey and tequila will be recognized as distinctive products with no market restrictions to the U.S. from Mexico. Canada, on the other hand, is clearly in a game of catch up. It’s critical for Canadian negotiators to dig into the details to quickly understand and adapt the U.S./Mexico agreement to secure the continuation of a truly North American trade agreement. The markets of our three countries are integrated to such a degree and level of complexity that multiple bilateral agreements would be confusing and costly. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture urges the Government of Canada to secure a new NAFTA that protects the interests of Canadian farmers, food processors and manufacturers. A trade deal without supply management is a deal breaker for Canadian agriculture.

Cottam dancer preparing for world competition

by Sylene Argent Nine-year-old Cottam resident, Jamieson MacNeil, loves to dance and perform; and that passion can be noticed in the glimmer in his eye and the smile stretched across his face as soon as the music starts playing. Though many young people may share MacNeil’s love for dancing, many can not

styles will be judged in Poland from November 29 to December 4 as part of the World Dance Competition. He will also be able to perform a solo during the competition. “I’ve been dancing since before I could walk,” MacNeil said, which means he began moving to the rhythm of music when he was

around two and began competing soon after. His mom, Annajayne, is a teacher at All That Jazz Dance Company in Chatham. She would bring young MacNeil to her classes with her, and it didn’t take long for her son to show an interest in the art form, beginning with Highland Dancing. Continue on Page 9

Municipal Heritage Committee recognizes Harrow’s history

A plaque, recognizing Harrow’s history, was unveiled at the entrance of Harrow Veteran’s Memorial Park last Thursday. Pictured are: Essex’s Assistant Planner, Rita Jabbour, and Essex Municipal Heritage Committee members: Laurie Kowtiuk, Phil Pocock, and Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche. HEIRS President Richard Herniman is pictured far right.

by Sylene Argent Harrow’s rich history is now posted for everyone to read about as the Essex Municipal Heritage Committee unveiled the sixth municipal-wide commemoration piece in its Heritage Plaque program last Thursday afternoon. The new plaque, which is the first to be displayed in Harrow through the program, is located at the entrance of the Harrow Veteran’s Memorial Park. It was unveiled just as the 164th annual Harrow Fair got underway last week. “These plaques are designed to engage residents and visitors with local history. One of our community’s greatest assets,” Essex Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche said, who is also the Chairperson of the Essex Municipal Heritage Committee. “This interpretive plaque tells a story, a story of how Harrow came to be. It traces

the community’s roots, starting in 1824 with the introduction of Plan 202, known as the Hopetown Survey, which drew the boundaries for the community on 850 acres of land,” Meloche explained. He added the swampland surrounded the remote outpost. Its origins had slow growth initially, until the late 1800s when, “Hiram Walker’s railway brought a boom of commercial activity and trade, providing farmers access to new markets and bolstering the local economy.” The historical plaque, Meloche added, also recognizes the important role agriculture has played in the growth of the community. “Today, Harrow continues to reflect the pioneer spirit of its early settlers and is recognized as being a community dedicated to fostering innovation, creativity, and

pride of place amongst its residents,” Meloche said. Meloche thanked the members of the Harrow Early Immigrant Research Society, the Essex & Community Historical Research Society, and the Essex Municipal Heritage Committee for the time they dedicated to providing the historical content and photos for the plaque. The plaque includes a photo of the first Harrow Council, circa 1930,

which is the same year it officially became a town. Before that, the area was known unofficially as Munger’s Corners. It also highlights the early origins of the Harrow Research and Development Centre, which began in 1909 as the research facility known as the Harrow Tobacco Station. The plaque also highlights that there were devastating fires in 1894 and 1895 along the main street, but the business community was able to rebuild. Richard Herniman, President of the Harrow Early Immigrant Research Society, said the Heritage Plaque Program

was a great idea to implement, and because of the newest plaque, community residents can

now easily learn bout 200-plus years of Harrow history.

Keeping up appearances - railway station is getting a new roof of the building. Olsen noted the roofing project was awarded to Roofcraft of Windsor for the tendered amount of $85,700, not including taxes. This includes removing the old shingles and adding weathering stripping for the fair-sized building. The Railway Station is a significant historical building in Essex Centre, and the restoration project will help preserve it for future generations. In addition, the Railway

Station, Olsen said, has received a fresh coat of paint and new carpeting, windows, and doors in the recent past. “We are trying to upgrade it as much as we can,” he said. All of the improvements help to also raise the overall esthetic of the Heritage Gardens Park area. On Tuesday, the roof replacement project for the Essex Centre library and the gym area of the Essex Community Centre began, Olsen noted.

Voice Of Inspiration by Sylene Argent The historic Essex Railway Station is getting a new roof,

which will add to the esthetic appeal of the historic building, while protecting the interior

from potential water damage. John Olsen, Essex’s Manager of Parks and Facilities, said the old cedar shingle roof has had better days and that it had lived past its life cycle. So, the roof restoration project was

added to the Town’s budget for completion. As the Railway Station is a designated heritage site, the roofing material will be replaced with cedar shingles in keeping with the traditional esthetics and historical features

MacNeil now trains with the same dance company. In order to qualify for Team Canada Dance for the upcoming World Dance Championships, MacNeil had to participate in an audition where a scout from the Canadian Team noticed his skills. MacNeil was thrilled with the news and can not wait to compete, though he admits he is nervous to perform on the international stage. “I am looking forward to the competition, but I am totally terrified because I will be judged by a panel of nine judges from all different countries,” he said. “I like to compete. I like friendly competition,” MacNeil said. “I like the stage. I like to perform.” As the commitment to the team is a big financial undertaking, a GoFundMe page has been setup to help raise funds. To donate, log onto https://www. gofundme.com/get-jamieson-to-the-world039s. MacNeil’s family is hoping to raise $8000 to cover the cost of the trip to the World Dance Championships and travel expenses for the many team practices that will take place in the Hamilton area. There is no government assistance for Team Canada Dance. Three Canadian teams will head to the competition. MacNeil is part of the “Eastern” team. Annajayne said her son especially loves being animated on stage and playing a character. “He has a performance quality that just stands out.” Looking ahead to the World Dance Competition, “I am practicing hard,” MacNeil said, who typically practices every day.

World’s oldest Plymouth displayed at CTMHV car show take eight years to get the car road ready and conditioned to its current state. As the original blue-like colour was no longer available, Hunter chose a bright, eye-catching green.

Michael Hunter displayed his 1928 Model Q Plymouth, which happens to be known as the oldest Plymouth in the world, at the CTMHV’s Automotive Flea Market and Festival of Cars Show on Sunday.

Around 250 classic, custom, and vintage vehicles were displayed at the CTMHV’s Automotive Flea Market and Festival of Cars Show on Sunday.

by Sylene Argent Around 250 headturning vehicles were on display as the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village (CTMHV) on Sunday for the fall flavoured Automotive Flea Market and Festival of Cars Show. Local owners of classic, custom, and vintage automobiles parked their show pieces on four-wheels along the pathway that winds through the Heritage Village where many buildings, that are significant to the area’s history, stand.

One of the outstanding vehicles on display during the car show included a 1928 Model Q Plymouth, which happens to be known as the oldest Plymouth in the world. Owner Michael Hunter said his vehicle was built in Windsor at the old Maxwell plant at the corner of Tecumseh Road and McDougall Street. He bought the car at auction in 2010 in Alberta. The purchase brought the car back home to where it was built. “When I bought it, it was a total off-

body-rebuild,” Hunter said, adding it would

Hunter said the claim of the vehicle being the oldest Plymouth in the world has been traced through the Plymouth Owners Club. He plans to show the vehicle at the odd summer car

show and enjoy riding around locally when the weather is nice. When his Plymouth was originally built, Chrysler was putting in hydrologic breaks.

IN LOVING MEMORY

_________________________________________________________

Happy 80th Birthday “JOAN” ELLEN (KENNEDY) LAMBIER (Sept. 8, 1938 - Dec. 1, 1996)

22 years have passed since “Joan’s” last party. Until we meet again, “Joan” you will always be a part of our lives, “Joan” was a one of a kind “Lady.” My wife, friend, and great mother. We only wish we could share it with you. Love and remembered by Cecil, Bill, Ken, Barb, and family.

At that time, other vehicles had mechanical brakes, he said. As such, Chrysler vehicles with hydronic brakes displayed a red triangle on their license plate. This was not to warn of a slow-moving vehicle, Hunter said, rather, the sign warned other drivers to give lots of space as the hydraulic brakes were able to stop much quicker. In addition to the

car show, the CTMHV also held an automotive flea-market. Mickey Moulder, Chairperson of the Museum, said the vendors were doing good business. The vendor area, he said, is a great asset to the show and certainly adds to the overall success of the event, he noted. In order to keep the Museum running and to fund its Children’s Education Program,

which gives hundreds of youth a hands-on history lesson every school year, volunteers host a myriad of events, like the Automotive Flea Market and Festival of

Cars Show, to fundraise. Coming up, the CTMHV will host its Militaria, Gun, and Sportsmen Show on Sunday, September 9, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. And, volunteers are also selling tickets for the 1965 Mercury convertible, the 2018 car raffle prize. The winning ticket will be drawn at the CTMHV’s New Years Eve Party. Starting on Monday, September 10, the. CTMHV will host a 3D photographic display of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Essex Midget Minor bring home fourth OBA title World’s oldest Plymouth: a 1928 4-door sedan

Pictured above are the 2018 AA Midget Minor Provincial Champions. Left to right, front to back. The Mackie Jones, Trevor Benoit, Eric Wright, Jackson Ford, Steven Debergh, Hunter Rivest, Liam Hall, Jon Kopcok, Coach Dave Kigar, Coach Glen Harnadek, Isaac Glos, Blake Harnadek, Devin Decaluwe, Josh O’neil, Zach Mann, Jack Benoit, Jacob Canji, Coach Mike Rivest.

Michael and Mary Edna Hunter with their sparkling green 1928 Plymouth sedan.

Walter P. Chrysler introduced the Plymouth in July 1928 to compete against Ford and Chevrolet. With hydraulic brakes and Chrysler’s reputation for quality, it was an immediate success. Michael and Mary Edna Hunter of Cottam, Ontario, own a fully restored 1928 Plymouth Model Q 4-door sedan widely acclaimed as the world’s oldest Plymouth. It was #287 built in the summer of 1928 at the Chrysler plant in Windsor. No Canadian or U.S. Plymouths with a lower production number are known to exist. When new, it was shipped to a Plymouth dealer in Vancouver, who sold it to Bill Blair, a farmer in Alberta. The Windsor factory list price was $915. Bill’s son Archie courted his wife Minnie in that car and Minnie said she learned to drive on the car. In 1954, they stopped driving it and that year’s Alberta license plate stayed on the car. In 1967, Cliff Deyell of Wainwright, Alberta, bought the car, built the same year he was born. The Blairs had always garaged the car and it was stored inside for the entire 39 years that Cliff owned it. Finally realizing he could not restore the car the way he wanted, Cliff sold it in 2006 at Scribner’s Auction to Keith Weninger of Provost, Alberta. Keith did some work on the car. He also researched its history and discovered it was a very valuable car. This prompted him to sell it hoping someone would buy it and restore it. The car sold for $25,000 at Scribner’s Auction in 2010 and went to Michael and Mary Edna Hunter after spending 82 years in Alberta. The car is now just a few miles from its birthplace. After a total restoration spanning the next eight years, the car was finally like new again by July 6, 2018. Later that month Michael took the car to an All-Plymouth Meet in Michigan, where it was a big hit! When Bill Gay of the Essex Railway Station and I visited Michael and Mary Edna on Saturday, August 4, to photograph the car, we were treated to a 3-mile ride around the block. What a thrill to ride in a car 90 years old and like new again! I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.

submitted to EFP The Essex Midget Minor (16 year olds) baseball team travelled to Mississauga to play in this year’s 2018 AA Baseball Ontario Provincial Championships. This team has had much success in the past. The teams greatest achievement being an unbelievable three OBA titles in a row, moving up divisions and playing against larger cities every year. When the Essex coaches decided to go “AA” this year and play the top tier 1 teams from the Toronto area, they figured it wouldn’t hurt the boys to play through some adversity and finally lose a championship tournament. The coaches were very nervous about playing against the two powerhouse teams in Ontario, #2 Halton Hills or #1 Barrie, as that may result in an embarrassing loss. On Friday morning, the boys played their usual style and beat Erindale 12 -2. In game two, on Friday evening, the odds finally caught up to Essex. After playing almost flawless baseball in the provincial tournament three years in a row, the boys fell apart. Essex made nine errors, and struck out in one quarter of their at bats in

a humbling 9-1 loss to Bolton. One more loss and Essex’s championship run would be over. Essex had not lost an early round game in three years. No one was sure how the team would respond after such an unusual and ugly loss. The boys removed all doubt about their character as a team by beating two very good teams in Ancaster 8-3 and Leaside 10-2. Essex achieved a huge accomplishment by making it to the final day of this tournament. On Sunday morning, Essex had to play one of the tournament favourites, the powerhouse Halton Hills. Halton won this tournament last year, going undefeated and was also undefeated this year, going into this game. Essex played very well, only being down 5-2, going into its last at bat. The Essex boys were fired up and cheering, actually believing they could score four runs against this very good team. Incredibly, Essex worked the pitcher for two walks, hit three singles, a double, and came away with Continued on Page 19

possibly their biggest win ever, a 6-5 walk off win and a berth in the championship game. Like every good underdog story, Essex found itself faced off against this year’s number one “AA” team in Ontario, the Barrie Baycats. As if it was scripted for a movie, Essex played one of the teams best games ever. Behind some great pitching and almost perfect defence, the Essex Yellow Jackets took a 2-1 lead into the final inning. Barrie was at bat, with two outs, and the tying run on third, when the Essex catcher caught a fastball over the outside corner. The ump threw out his hand calling strike three, and the Essex players threw their gloves into the air and ran to the mound, embracing each other and celebrating their stunning championship victory. This team of a great group of young men have now captured four Provincial Championships in a row and five Provincial Championships overall. It sounds a little cliché, but the Essex coaches and parents just watched it played out in real life. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, how big or how small, or how tough your adversary is. It’s the size of your heart that matters.

Parks concert series has become one of Neves’s favourite places to perform. “The crowd is just so supportive and it is more intimate,” she said. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 5, Larry Affeldt, also known as Lawrence Hank, is scheduled to wrap

up the Tune Up the Parks concert summer series. Attendees are urged to bring their own lawn chair or blanket, and have the opportunity to provide a donation to the performer. Performances may change or be cancelled.

performing for as long as I can remember. I was singing with making noises before I could talk.” Her setlist included mostly country songs last Wednesday evening, but she threw in a few pop songs, too. Though the 18-year-old performs mostly covers, she does sneak in an original or two into her setlist to allow her listening audience to get a chance to not only hear her powerful voice, but get to experience her talents as a songwriter, as well. During her set in Essex, Neves engaged the audience by inviting them to join her in singing. Neves has released two Christmas albums, of which she wrote some of the songs herself and collaborated with her mother on others, and is set to start recording a praise and worship album in the fall, with a released date to be set in 2019. Some of her songs, including the single, “Timeless,” are available on iTunes.

Essex Mosquito Minor baseball season ends Photo submitted

submitted to EFP The Essex Mosquito Minor team, sponsored by Direct Electric Ltd., was unexpectedly eliminated from the “B” classification provincial tournament in Cobourg, over the Labour Day weekend, after two games. The Stouffville Yankees defeated Essex in game one, 17 to 8, and Woodstock handed Essex

their second loss Saturday morning, 7 to 3. Unfortunately, the bats never heated up for Essex,

and the team’s depth, which is its strength, did not become an asset. Other provincial teams were surprised to see the Essex team ousted so early and expect that this Essex team will be very competitive for years to come. As for the players, through serendipity, most spent the remainder of Saturday at the beautiful and active Victoria Park beach in Cobourg, where they attacked waves in Lake Ontario and played sand football with huge smiles. The team is grateful to its sponsor and the entire EMBA community for the support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the season.
