Mayor and family suffer vandalism to vehicles

By Ron Giofu While preparing to go for a Saturday morning drive with wife Laura, Mayor Aldo DiCarlo quickly came to realize that one or more of his critics took things to a personal level.

DiCarlo discovered that not only were all four tires on his car slashed sometime overnight Friday night into Saturday morning, but so too were the tires on his daughter Emily’s car.

“Disappointment is pretty much an understatement,” said DiCarlo. “It’s a real invasion of your home, your safe place and the place where you are supposed to spend time with your family.”

DiCarlo said when he saw one tire flat on his car, his original thought was that he might have ran over some-

thing.

“As soon as I saw the second tire, my stomach dropped,” he said.

When police were being contacted, that is when DiCarlo discovered Emily’s car also had its tires slashed.

“I really hope whoever did this gets caught and is punished,” he said. “It doesn’t just affect me, if affects my family. That’s the difficult part.”

DiCarlo said his family, which also includes his two sons, doesn’t get involved in politics or social media debates.

“For them to be treated this way is just disgraceful,” he said.

While the investigation is ongoing into the matter, DiCarlo believes it could have resulted from the ongoing

controversy over the future of H. Murray Smith Centennial Park and Jack Purdie Park. Even though he declared conflict of interest, he said he is aware of social media chatter from some who were still upset with him over the matter, unaware he is in conflict, and others who didn’t agree with him declaring a conflict.

“I fully expect this is the culmination of anger from some people who took it to the next level,” he said.

DiCarlo figures “one way or another, we’ll be out some money” due to the damage but the main sticking point with him is the fact that someone came to his home to cause damage.

“It should have nothing to do with where we live,” he said. “It’s an invasion of privacy and property.”

Amherstburg approved as a COVID-19 mass vaccination site

By Ron Giofu Mass vaccination sites for COVID-19 have been set up in Windsor and Leamington with Amherstburg to be the next location.

The Libro Centre will be the site of the next mass vaccination clinic after town council gave its approval Monday night. The motion passed by council authorizes administration to enter into an agreement with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) for use of the Libro Centre to administer COVID-19 vaccinations and directs administration to prepare and operated the Libro Centre as a Mass Vaccination Site for residents of Windsor-Essex County. Administration was also authorized to incur an over-expenditure of funds for operation of the mass vaccination site not included in the 2021 budget and that those costs be recovered from the County of Essex, to the extent possible,through a reconciliation of costs with Essex County municipalities.

According to a report from CAO John Miceli, it’s estimated that 200-300 temporary staff are going to be required to run the mass vaccination clinics in Essex County.

“The primary focus of all county municipalities will be to support each other in the delivery and implementation of the vaccines,” he stated. “The situation is moving at a rapid pace and decisions are changing in order to ensure that we are able to quickly mobilize as the number of vaccines become available. It is expected that the number of vaccines made available will be ramping up at a rapid pace and that the goal is to have Windsor/Essex achieve its immunization target for late July/ early August. It is anticipated that the site in Amherstburg may be required as early as the last week of March should we be able to have the necessary resources available to run the mass vaccination site.”

Councillor Don McArthur noted COVID-19 vaccination clinics are already operating in Windsor and Leamington for those 80 and over. People can call 519-2514072 or visit www.wechu.org to register.

McArthur noted that flu shot clinics and COVID-19 testing went well at the Libro Centre and said getting a COVID-19 vaccination clinic “is a really good thing for the residents of Amherstburg.”

Miceli said Essex-Windsor EMS chief Bruce Krauter helped organize the clinics with the aid of local community emergency management co-ordinators (CEMC), with Amherstburg’s CEMC being fire chief Bruce Montone.

“Amherstburg is a site that was chose because of its demographics, geographic location and our ability to deliver,” said Miceli.

Mayor Aldo DiCarlo praised administration and organizers for their efforts, stating the fluid nature of the situation made things challenging. He said efforts were “nothing short of amazing” and “it’s incredible how quickly things came together.”

Noting Amherstburg residents won’t be able to use the Libro Centre for anything else during the vaccination clinic period, Councillor Michael Prue hoped Amherstburg residents would be able to take advantage of any appointment cancellations first.

“Every person that gets vaccinated helps us on our road to recovery,” he said.

Councillor Peter Courtney said he hopes a large number of people register and get their shots when they become eligible.

“There’s only one way to take care of this,” he said of the pandemic, and that is through vaccinations.

Miceli said meetings are still being held with WECHU to go over the layout of the clinics, adding vaccine supplies are increasing. Montone added the goal is to get “shots in arms as quickly as we can.”

Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche noted his 87-year-old mother had an appointment in Leamington and he was anxious to have his mother vaccinated.

“I’m glad to see this is moving ahead,” he said.

DiCarlo urged the public to remain patient and that updates will be provided as they become available.

DiCarlo believes he is an easy person to reach and, if someone has an issue, he can be contacted.

“Why they have to resort to something like this is beyond me,” he said.

Support from the community has been “incredible,” DiCarlo said, but believes an incident like this impacts the image of the town. He added they are considering getting a security system for their home.

“We live in a good neighbourhood and we keep an eye out for one another but you can’t be everywhere at once and that’s when things like this happen,” he said.

To slash eight tires is “pretty malicious,” DiCarlo added.

“I don’t know what they are feeling at the time but they were trying to send a message,” he said.

Emily took to Facebook Saturday morning to share their bad news, saying she was “extremely angry and devastated.”

“This wasn’t some kid saying ‘let’s slash some tires.’ Our house was the only one targeted. This was an adult who said ‘let’s slash the mayor’s tires.’

And not only his, but mine. So congratulations, you put a 25-year-old woman’s car, a student, working part-time to pay for school, out of commission,” Emily wrote.

Emily added: “To make an entire household feel unsafe, and to destroy the property of someone just because you don’t like what he’s doing in office is absurd. We are not sure what this person/people were angry about, but if they are angry about the current contentious parks/greenspace issue, my dad has a conflict of interest and cannot even vote on these issues.”

Emily stated “you are allowed to disagree with what he does as mayor. That’s politics, of course, people can disagree. But it is illegal and immoral to slash a man’s, and his daughter’s, tires because you are angry.”

Town council passed a motion Monday condemning the act. Councillor Michael Prue said in his 30 years in politics, he has had to deal with angry calls, e-mails and threats, but never actual violence to property.

“We abhor it and we will do everything in our power to assist police in any way we can,” said Prue. “We can’t and shouldn’t put up with this.”

Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche said he was “appalled by this incident,” adding “I encourage people to speak out against this kind of violence.”

Councillor Patricia Simone said it was a “cowardly act” and Councillor Peter Courtney added he understood passion but told DiCarlo “what happened to you and your family was disgusting.”

Councillor Marc Renaud said the perpetrator(s) should look themselves in the mirror “and say that it was wrong. That was wrong to do to anybody.”

Councillor Don McArthur said council needed to send a united message against such acts, calling them “garbage.” He said “our town is better than that” and called on residents to not like or share untrue or vitriolic posts on social media.

McArthur called for people to call out falsehoods and said he has had to waste staff’s time chasing down information that turned out to be wrong.

He encouraged people to “have a debate based on facts” and called it “discouraging to see the venom and vile” directed to council members and administration on social media.

DiCarlo thanked council members for their support, but noted he doesn’t want to see what happened to him happen to others whether they be in Amherstburg or elsewhere.

Army reserve personnel conduct training in Essex County

By Ron Giofu Army vehicles were seen in and around the southern portion of Essex County over the weekend but residents should not be alarmed.

Canadian Army Reserve personnel from The Windsor Regiment(RCAC) – Armoured Recce Patrol Commander (ARPC) course conducted mounted reconnaissance training in between the Harrow and Kingsville areas. Activities included troop and patrol level movement on planned routes and from the Major F.A. Tilston Armoury in Windsor.

“Our members come from all over the county,” said Master Warrant Officer (MWO) Richard Sharpe.

The regiment has been around since 1930, Sharpe pointed out. While they do training in the region, the specific training done last weekend was only the second time they have done it locally.

“It’s a career course for (those in the regiment),” said Sharpe. “They’ll be promoted after the course, if successful.”

All activities occurred throughout the day and night both Saturday and Sunday. Roadways includes Highway 401, Highway 3 and throughout Windsor, and surrounding areas including LaSalle, Harrow, Kingsville and Essex County south of Highway 401. Many rural roads in the southern part of Essex County were used as well.

Participating soldiers carried unloaded personal weapons and those mounted on vehicles. No ammunition was present.

This unit stated that “important training is being conducted in order to maintain and further develop the skills of Canadian Army Reserve soldiers in Armoured Reconnaissance operations, and to practice discipline, safety and effectiveness while operating

specific vehicle platforms within local areas. All of the soldiers participating will be practicing enhanced Force Health Protection Measures based on, and in addition to Public Health guidelines, including wearing masks, extra sanitizing of equipment and hands, and physical distancing where possible. All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area, although certain areas may be inaccessible during the exercise dates.”

“This particular course doesn’t happen very often,” added Sharpe.

However, while the training exercise that occurred on the weekend doesn’t happen locally often, Sharpe indicated they get out regularly for various other training exercises.

Members of the public were asked to use extra caution when approaching military vehicles, and were thanked for their understanding and co-operation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Theft of catalytic converters under investigation The Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment is investigating the theft of catalytic converters from a local business.

Police were called to the 7800 block of Howard Ave. (County Road 9) where the fence was cut allowing a suspect or suspects access to the property and remove catalytic converters from four vehicles. It was reported to police last Thursday but the incident is believed to have occurred sometime over the previous night.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment at 519-7362252 or Crime Stoppers at 519-258-TIPS (8477) or www.catchcrooks.com.

Potential scam The Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment is warning the public of a potential scam after receiving a complaint last week. A resident contacted police after being contacted by someone claiming to be from a company offering a rebate on their utility bill but that a representative had to get into the home to inspect the furnace first.

Police say no business name was given to the homeowner, just a reference number.

The public is reminded not to give out any sort of personal information or access to the home unless the person is sure the company or individual is legitimate. If a person is unsure or suspicious, they are encouraged to contact police.

Accidents • Officers were called to Lowes Side Road March 1 around 8:30 a.m. for a report of a two-car motor vehicle collision. There were no injuries and property damage only. Police state that a 68-year-old Amherstburg woman was charged with reversing out of a private driveway not in safety.

• A 67-year-old Windsor man was charged with careless driving after a crash on Front Road North, in River Canard, March 2. It was reported around 8:15 a.m. Police say there were no injuries.

Resident condemns “senseless” act on mayor’s home Saturday evening I watched our mayor on TV describing the cowardly and senseless attack on his home and family. He looked so disheartened – and he should. He has devoted the last six years to bringing financial and fiscal stability to this town.

During his tenure the town has twice been selected as the safest place in Canada to live; it has received numerous awards for festivals and gardens and there is building going on everywhere. It’s unfortunate that this criminal act will cast a long shadow over those achievements.

Shame on whoever did this – we can only hope that they will somehow grow a backbone and own up to this disgusting act; turn themselves in to the authorities; and make restitution to the mayor and his family.

Unfortunately, I really don’t think for a minute that will happen!

—Jennie Lajoie Amherstburg

Resident cites importance of parks within Amherstburg Parks are important for many reasons. Families enjoy their picnics and gatherings at parks. Children and adults enjoy recreation there. I live near Centennial Park. There are children there every single day. When the snow falls, the hill becomes the most popular place in town.

I think the idea of putting housing there is short sighted. In reality, Centennial Park is a bad place for any type of residential development for many reasons, such as: 1. There are better places to put residential development. Many places are already zoned for that, such as Kingsbridge.

2. The new high school is being built there. Without a doubt, the high school will need land in the future for activities involving teams and clubs. Maybe even expansion.

3. There is nothing in the town’s Official Plan that gives residential development preference over parkland. In fact, the Official Plan makes parkland an important priority.

I encourage town council to keep Centennial park as parkland. There are lots of other places to put residential development that are better suited and less disrupting to the residents of this town.

Preserving heritage includes keeping local parks

View of Bathurst Street looking north toward Richmond Street, c.1911. On the left, Wesley United Church stands on the southwest corner of Richmond and Bathurst Streets. Amherstburg Public School is visible on the north side of Richmond. Both buildings have since been razed.

I just thought I would voice my concern for our heritage of our town.

Why can’t these parks and the Renaud Hill be made a heritage historical landmark so they don’t get torn apart or get bulldozed down like many good buildings have in these past years? The low income people use that Renaud Hill to do winter events with their children. There isn’t many places left since they took the pool was taken away and the tennis courts, and the buildings that were made of stone and should have been kept up for our history and heritage of this town.

I think it should be protected under the Ontario Heritage Act and keep the Centennial Park and the Renaud Hill as a heritage of this town. If we keep on bulldozing everything, there won’t be any heritage in this town anymore or for our children to get any physical activities to do other than sitting at a computer. That sure isn’t exercise at all nor is any of the electronic items.

I agree with all the people who have written in and it’s a shame that the heritage isn’t protected in these cases.

Noise bylaw exemption for radio-controlled airplane group will not proceed for time being

The president of the Sun Parlour R/C Flyers Club appeared before the virtual meeting of town council Feb. 22 looking for a noise bylaw exemption but council opted not to take action. Neighbours have voiced concerns with noise coming from the site, particularly from planes with combustible engines.

Social gatherings can have deadly consequences.

A dispute between a radio-controlled airplane group and its neighbours has been put on the backburner for the time being with the group still being grounded in the process.

The dispute between the Sun Parlour Radio-Controlled (R/C) Flyers group and the neighbours of its Tower Field location on Concession 4 North revolves around noise, particularly from combustible engine-powered planes, with both sides being represented at the Feb. 22 meeting of Amherstburg town council. However, council opted to take no action on the request, meaning the request for an exemption to the bylaw will not proceed for the time being.

Paul Sousa, president of the Sun Parlour R/C Flyers, requested an exemption to the town’s noise bylaw starting May 1. He said they asked for the exemption as they await public consultation on a noise bylaw amendment that was requested roughly one year ago.

Sousa said the process has continued to be delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. He indicated they want to do testing of the noise levels from their models, adding they have done some testing at different locations and they have passed their association’s regulations.

Tom Bateman, who lives near Tower Field, said he and other neighbours were opposed to a noise bylaw exemption.

“As council is aware, the residents have significant concerns with the operation of model airplanes at this site,” said Bateman. “We are vehemently opposed to the granting of any form of exemption or revision to the existing provisions contained within the existing bylaw.”

Bateman said the bylaw regulating airplanes with combustible engines was designed to help protect residents from noise and allow them to enjoy their yards.

“Your residents have the right to enjoy their properties free from the noise and nuisance generated from the flying of these model airplanes,” he stated. “Council has the obligation to protect these rights and to ensure these residents have the ability to live without the significant impacts imposed upon them by these model bylaws.”

Town council can best meet the needs of the residents by keeping the existing regulations as stated in the current bylaw, Bateman believed.

“Maintaining the bylaw as is will ensure the protection of the residents and property owners’ rights,” he said.

Manager of licensing and enforcement Nicole Rubli estimated public meetings could be held by the end of the year regarding the noise bylaw, but added it depends on health guidelines pertaining to the pandemic. She said battery-operated planes can be flown but the current bylaw prohibits combustible engines.

McGregor pharmacy bouncing back after fire

By Ron Giofu

The McGregor Medical Guardian Pharmacy is finally back in McGregor.

The pharmacy was one of the three businesses that sustained damage and losses in a Dec. 2 fire. The blaze also impacted Naples Pizza, McGregor Veterinary Services and two residential tenants that lived in second-storey apartments. The McGregor Medical Guardian Pharmacy has been able to return, however it is in a trailer just to the north of the building on the edge of the parking lot at the Columbian Club Hall on Walker Road.

Pharmacist/owner Mike Vasovsky noted they were able to open the trailer last Wednesday.

“We’ve been operating out of the Main St. Pharmacy in Kingsville,” Vasovsky explained. “The entire staff has been great to ensure this community has had pharmacy services.”

Vasovsky also thanked the Main Street Pharmacy for allowing his staff to work out of that location for three months. He said the staff have still been doing deliveries in the McGregor area over that time period, making the regular commutes from Kingsville.

However, Vasovsky said it is nice to be home, even if it is in a temporary location.

“It feels great to have this up and running and be back in town,” he said of the trailer. “The town has been very supportive. It’s really amazing the amount

of support we’ve received from this town.”

Losses were in the “hundreds of thousands” of dollars from last December’s fire but Vasovsky pointed out his insurance company has been good to deal with and is helping the pharmacy get back on its feet.

“The insurance company has been great,” he said.

“They’ve helped us navigate the entire process.”

Vasovsky said the staff is happy to be back in McGregor and he added the community is grateful to see them as well. Whether it be in person at the trailer or through phone calls and social media, Vasovsky said the McGregor community has reached out and has welcomed them back to town with open arms.

“It definitely feels good,” he said. “It is definitely nice to hear the kind words.”

The McGregor Medical Guardian Pharmacy has seven staff in all, counting part-time employees.

It was important to be back in roughly the same location, Vasovsky added. Despite it being in a trailer, he stated there is more room than it would appear.

“It’s actually more spacious than you would think it is seeing it from the outside,” said Vasovsky.

Work on getting the trailer up and running in McGregor took place over the last month or so, he said.

As for when they can get back into the building, Vasovsky indicated that depends on when the investigation into the fire finishes and when construction can begin. He stated he has been told that could be anywhere from six to nine months.

New set of tenders approved by Essex County council

By Ron Giofu Essex County council has approved the next in a series of tenders for road projects with one of them being in Amherstburg.

A total of seven road projects were part of a tender approved by Essex County council. The local project is on the Amherstburg-Essex border as it is a 0.9 stretch of Walker Road, also known as County Road 11, in McGregor. Director of infrastructure services/county engineer Jane Mustac noted the county continues to “bundle” several projects together with this project being for hot mix overlay and mill and pave work.

The Mill-Am Corporation was awarded the project as their bid was $1,822,455. The engineer’s estimate for the work was $1.9 million.

“There are only two submissions,” Mustac pointed out. “The low bid met the criteria and aligns with the engineer’s estimate.”

Mustac added the project is included in the county’s 2021 budget.

The fact only two companies bid on the work caught the attention of Amherstburg Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche. He said he has seen “a number” of instances where the amount of bidders has dropped and “in this case, we are only looking at two options.

“Is this a trend that is developing where we are seeing less and less bidders? That is going to have long-term implications on pricing,” said Meloche.

Mustac indicated her department was not concerned as of yet but Meloche stated that he has heard from companies that say they don’t bid anymore “because it’s always the same two that get the jobs.”

“I look at that in terms of how many people are actually bidding,” said Meloche.

Other roads that will be worked on as a result of this tender include a 0.9 km section of County Road 22 in Lakeshore, a 3.1 km section of County Road 2 in Lakeshore, a 1.4 km section of County Road 25 in Lakeshore, a 1.2 km section of road on County Road 31 in the Leamington area, a 0.7 km stretch of County Road 20 in the Kingsville/Leamington area and a 2.2 km stretch of County Road 50 in Kingsville.

Amherstburg to receive over $461K to cover additional COVID-19 costs

Wednesday, March 10, 2021 – River Town Times – 9

By Ron Giofu The provincial government announced more funding for Ontario municipalities amid the COVID-19 pandemic with Amherstburg getting another $461,000.

The Ontario government announced it is providing an additional $500 million to help the province's 444 municipalities address ongoing COVID-19 operating costs. The new financial relief will help ensure the delivery of critical services and keep capital projects on track, the provincial government stated.

Amherstburg’s exact share is $461,468.

"Our government continues to adapt and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as it evolves, and we know our municipal partners are on the front lines of this effort — providing the critical services people depend on every day," said Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark, in a media release issued last Thursday. "Our municipalities have been clear that they need ongoing operating funding in 2021, and it's important that we step up and provide more financial relief. At the same time, we need the federal government to join us and provide our municipal partners with the additional support they deserve."

Ontario's funding is being prioritized to help municipalities hardest hit by the pandemic and can be used to address the unique needs of each community based on COVID-19 related operating pressures. This funding is being allocated based on a combination of a base amount using Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) household data and an amount based on the proportion of provincial COVID-19 cases (from January 1, 2021 to February 18, 2021) in the municipality's respective Public Health Unit.

This province states this investment “builds on the $1.39 billion in operating funding that was provided to municipal partners through the joint federalprovincial Safe Restart Agreement.” The second phase of the Safe Restart Agreement was allocated to all Ontario municipalities in December, to ensure that no community entered 2021 facing an operating deficit from 2020.

"This additional $500 million for 2021 builds on a record of provincial government support under the 2020 Safe Restart Agreement and the life-saving Social Services Relief Fund," said Graydon Smith, President of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). "It will help offset the impact of COVID-19

on 2021 municipal budgets in every part of Ontario. By protecting the municipal services people and business rely on most, and preventing delays in capital projects, this funding is an important investment in Ontario's economic recovery."

"Municipalities are important partners in the fight against COVID-19," said Minister of Finance and President of the Treasury Board Peter Bethlenfalvy.

"We know the global pandemic has created significant financial challenges for communities across the province. That's why we have been there with support from the very beginning. I encourage our federal partners to step forward with additional investments as all three governments work together to protect people's health and jobs."

Allocations to the other Windsor-Essex County municipalities included the County of Essex receiving over $2.4 million. The Town of Essex will receive $441,468 while Kingsville will be on the receiving end of $440,684. The Municipality of Lakeshore is in line to receive $721,172 while the Town of LaSalle will get $564,261.

The Municipality of Leamington will receive $549,262, while the Town of Tecumseh is slated to receive $449,850. The Township of Pelee will receive $45,895. The City of Windsor’s COVID-19 financial relief will amount to over $8.1 million.

Calling small business owners COVID-19 support could be available to you.

• Grants of up to $20,000 through the Ontario Small Business Support Grant • Up to $1,000 in support for purchasing PPE through Ontario's Main Street Relief Grant • Rebates for property tax and energy costs

We’re working to ensure small businesses can keep employing people and serving their communities now and when COVID-19 is behind us.

WRH CEO urges people “not to let their foot off the brake” with regards to COVID-19

Yes, our printing department is open for business!

Windsor Regional Hospital president/CEO David Musyj goes over a presentation relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during an online board meeting last Thursday evening. Musyj asked people to remain cautious in the fight against community spread of the virus despite recent caseloads, which have been lower. Screenshot

Musyj said positive news is coming out of long-term care homes and the number of infected people, believing measures are working and vaccinations are making a positive difference.

“The big question we’re facing is what is the impact of the variants?” Musyj reiterated. “A lot of individuals might say ‘the numbers are great. Why are we so concerned?’ or ‘why are we so on edge or overly concerned?’ It’s because we’ve seen other jurisdictions with the variants and the impact it has.”

Musyj cited Brazil, who thought they had created herd immunity and that country reopened the economy. However, the Brazilian variant has seen people who had previously been infected with COVID-19 get reinfected with the variant.

“That’s what makes everyone very concerned is the unknowns of these variants,” he said.

People need to keep respecting the public health guidelines, he stated.

“Everyone’s been very concerned about the next few weeks and what the next few weeks is going to look like,” said Musyj. “Do not relax or let your foot off the brake and stop pumping the brake. We have to do everything we can to adhere to those public health measures.”

SUDOKU ANSWERS

By Ron Giofu The president and CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital is urging people not to let up and to keep adhering to public health guidelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.

David Musyj told board members during the hospital’s monthly board of directors meeting last Thursday evening that Windsor Regional Hospital has seen numbers level off in terms of the number of positive COVID-19 patients being admitted.

Musyj said the first wave saw a high of 27 patients per day, but that number tripled in the second wave. Numbers are dropping since the Christmas holidays but have since plateaued. He said there were 28 patients that were in hospital on average as of last Thursday’s meeting but pointed out while the numbers are often similar on a day-to-day basis, the faces are not.

“Some people think it’s the same 28 people that were there a three weeks ago.

The answer is no,” said Musyj. “The numbers keep evolving over time and on any given day, we will have a couple of discharges then admit two more individuals with COVID-19. It’s still fluid, it’s still in the community, it’s still happening.”

An indicator is that the more people that get swabbed, it leads to more positive cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths. He noted volumes at assessment centres show a “dramatic increase” during November and December but started to decline in mid-January.

People have to be symptomatic to get swabbed, he added, and the number of people getting tested is starting to “creep up” again. He hopes the numbers plateau again but numbers of people getting tested are still higher than in the first wave.

Paediatric cases are increasing over the last couple of weeks, he added, noting they are related to school outbreaks in the region.

The number of new cases is levelling off, something that is “good news” he said, but noted there are concerns about variants and community spread of those variants. While people may think the region is in “a good spot,” he cautioned the area is not “where we need to be” to go into a more relaxed stage of the province’s reopening plan.

Musyj cited a Toronto Star article and concerns expressed in that article by the Scarsin Corporation over another wave and lockdown due to the impact of the variants.

“We’re really in an uncertain time with respect to the impact of the variants, what the variants could do with respect to the community spread and the impact that could have on hospitalizations and critical care and the outcomes as it relates to critical care. That’s a concern as we move forward,” he said.

Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 reopens for chicken wing fundraiser Legion planning to upgrade and improve patio in time for summer

Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 held a chicken wing fundraiser Saturday evening with proceeds going to their patio, which they hope to restore and upgrade. The event raised approximately $1,000. RTT Photo by Ron Giofu

By Ron Giofu Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 re-opened last Saturday for a chicken wing fundraiser with an eye on a restoration project.

While the Legion is not operating on a full-time basis as of yet, the chicken wing fundraiser was one of the first of regular events the Legion plans on hosting to raise money. Last Saturday’s event raised approximately $1,000, said Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 president Laurie Cavanaugh.

“This is our first time doing anything in a while,” said Cavanagh, as she worked in the kitchen helping to prepare the chicken wings, fries and cole slaw. “We’re going to start doing fundraisers because we want to cement the patio.”

The chicken wing fundraiser was a near sell-out, Cavanaugh pointed out, noting they were hoping for 130 orders and they got what they were looking for.

“That was our goal,” said Cavanaugh.

People had to order in advance and meals were served every 15-30 minutes in a take-out only format.

Royal Canadian Legion Br. 157 wants to be ready for when the warmer weather returns and they want to repair and upgrade the outdoor patio with new cement and Cavanaugh added they want to purchase new tables as well. They hope to get estimates on how much the cement will cost and then they will know how much they will have to raise, but, in the meantime they plan on continuing to have similar events.

Cavanaugh indicated that once COVID-19 public health guidelines permit, they will be hosting more events and hope to bring back their “Twisted Tuesday” lunch events soon as well.

A lot of supporters and patrons have been returning to the Amherstburg Legion, Cavanaugh added, and they are happy to see them come through the door to support the Legion once again.

“Lots of familiar faces are coming back through the doors at the Legion,” she said.

Cavanaugh added that other fundraisers will be discussed soon with Legion Br. 157’s executive committee. One such idea that may be coming to fruition might be a 50/50 draw, with proceeds from that also going towards the patio restoration project.

As the Legion is closed unless there is a special event, people can follow what is being planned and what is happening by following them on Facebook and searching @RCLBranch157.

In Loving Memory of

Patricia Jane Larkin March 15, 1925 - February 23, 2021 “If I had but one day to live I would wish to spend at least half on the back of a horse.”

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Pat was the daughter of Francis Dulude Larkin and Ethel (Delaney) Larkin. She was predeceased by her sister, Barbara A. Larkin of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Beloved mother of Pamela Lesley Sugden (Kerry Boonstra) of Pearsonville, NB, and loving aunt to Barbara Finnerty of New York City and Kevin Finnerty (Suzanne) of Burton, OH and their son, Ryan.

Dear friend of Vicky Petch of Essex, ON and loving owner of her feline friends, Mickey and Callie.

Pat was a student of history; a witty, well-read conversationalist with a great sense of humor.

The family historian, bard and ever curious adventurer, she spent her later life in Amherstburg, ON, where she made a number of dear friends whom she loved. She will be remembered by many as a dedicated horsewoman who was the founder and publisher of the Canadian Horsetrader Magazine (1988-2015) and also a cat and dog lover.

As her daughter, I will remember her strength, courage and fierce independence in the face of adversity.

Mom; for all the love you left behind, you will always have mine.

This is for you Patsy Larkin…. “ I find myself thinking of you mom; Waiting for the thunder of hooves as you come riding toward me.

But then, I remember, you have gone to greener pastures.

Even though it breaks my heart I will be strong.

I will live what is left of my life for the both of us.

And when the time comes that I should follow….

I know you will be waiting for me.”

Love always, Pam

Local author shines light on Italian community’s contributions to town

By Ron Giofu A local man wanted to do his part so that he can pass down stories to his children and grandchildren of the Italian community’s contribution to Amherstburg.

However, the project has grown and now his new book is available to the public.

“Za Mari – My Immigrant Mother” was written by Victor DiNardo and details the story of his mother, his parents’ immigration from Italy to Canada, what they faced in Amherstburg and other information about what the Italian community did locally.

“As I get older, I notice our Italian culture is diluting,” said DiNardo.

The retired schoolteacher said when he was growing up on Texas Road, most homes, if not every home, was occupied by an Italian family. The Verdi Club was established just down the road but it is no longer at that location. DiNardo said he wanted to pass along the stories and information to the younger generations of his family but the project grew to where it is now for sale to the general public at the River Bookshop.

“I decided to write something for the kids,” said DiNardo. “If you look around town, the effect that the Italian immigrants has had on this community really stands out.”

A small, mountainous region of Italy is where the bulk of the immigrants came from, DiNardo pointed out, with either the immigrants themselves or subsequent generations of their families leaving their mark.

He said the impact of the Italian community is seen now and has been seen in the past on town council, in the police department, business community, education, the legal profession and more.

“It goes on and on and on from a region of about 2,000 people,” said DiNardo. “The Italian community has had such a great effect on our community.”

DiNardo’s mother lived to be 100-years-old, he said, and recalls her being “quite the character.” After his

father came to Amherstburg first, he sent to Italy for the rest of the family once he was established here. DiNardo said his mother knew little English and had to navigate the family’s way to Amherstburg from Halifax. Even while in Amherstburg, DiNardo said his family and others within the Italian community had to endure bigoted and racist behaviour from others.

“Coming to this area not knowing the language was tough,” he said, noting he was four-years-old at the time. “We came with a paper box wrapped in rope.

We didn’t realize how big Canada is.”

The Italian community would gather in the garage of Orland DeLuca until building the Verdi Club further east on Texas Road on land that was owned by the Rosati family.

“The Verdi Club quickly became a big force in the community,” he recalled.

The Italian community was known for their work Vic DiNardo stands with his mother in this photo. DiNardo’s mother ethic, DiNardo added, estimating that 50 per cent of lived to be 100-years-old and he has now written a book on her as what was then known as Brunner Mond was Italian. well as the contributions of the Italian community to Amherstburg.

It is entitled “Za Mari – My Immigrant Mother” and it is for sale at The origins of the local tomato industry can also be the River Bookshop. Submitted photo traced to the Italian community, he believed.
