Continued from Page 1 Some of the money raised at the nearly sold-out event also went to the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Army Cadets 202nd Fort Malden, Kevan Carroll said. He helped plan the fund raiser and said the public’s willingness to donate money to CCS hits especially cose to home for him. “There’s been cancer in my family, so it means a lot,” he said. “I can’t believe the generosity of these wonderful businesses.” Everything at the fund raiser was donated. The Legion Branch 157, the AMA Sportsmen’s Club, Chicano’s Tequila and Tacos, The Fort Fun Centre, Gilligan’s, the Knights of Columbus Council 2110 and Shooters Roadhouse Amherstburg donated and cooked the chicken wings, with each including their signature sauces or dry rubs.

WSO concert in Amherstburg dodges raindrops By Jonathan Martin
The King’s Navy Yard Park echoed with brassy music Sunday – until the music was cut short by heavy rain, thunder and lightning. The Windsor Symphony Orchestra’s brass quintet played some bouncy tunes from the park’s gazebo while music-lovers watched and listened from their lawn chairs and picnic blankets. “What the quintet gets to play here is some of its favourite works that they don’t generally get to play for audiences,” said maestro Robert Franz, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra’s music director. The concert was sponsored by Richard and Colleen Peddie, as it has been for the past five years. The Peddies were “thrilled” with the turnout, Richard told the audience prior to the show. “It’s one of those great events that make for a lovely day,” he said. “Well, lovely until the rain comes.” The concert, which Windsor Symphony Orchestra manager of marketing, sales and patron relations Giancarlo Mincone said was set to run until 2 p.m., PHOTO BY JONATHAN MARTIN had to end early. By the time 2 p.m. rolled around, the winds were already gusting at around 35 km/h.

County Towing & Coxon’s Towing team up to help local bike rodeo
RTT PHOTO BY RON GIOFU
Staff from County Towing and Coxon’s Towing gather with members of the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment recently as part of a charity event in the Walmart parking lot. Proceeds will benefit next year’s Amherstburg bike rodeo. By Ron Giofu Local towing companies teamed up to assist the town’s annual bike rodeo. County Towing and
Coxon’s Towing brought their large fleet of towing vehicles and other equipment to the parking lot at Walmart with the goal of raising money for the annual bike rodeo, which
is presented every spring by the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment. An added twist to the recent charity event was that the towing companies will be
featured in the upcoming season of Heavy Rescue 401, with staff members that will be on the show available to meet the public. Derek Didone Jr. said since they are going to be featured on the Discovery Channel television program, they decided to bring their fleet out, show it to the public, have a barbecue and raise money for the bike rodeo. “The kids get a chance to see the equipment that they see running down the road,” said Didone. Didone said they have done other charity events in Windsor and will also be taking part in the Harrow Fair on Labour Day weekend as well as heading to Kitchener for an event. The actual filming for Heavy Rescue 401 ran from January to April and they went in towards the end of the season for interviews and commentary to round out the programs. It is set to air starting next

Fred Adair, community services officer with the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment, said it was
a fantastic event that kids were enjoying. “It’s a great event put on by County Towing and Coxon’s Towing to support the Amherstburg bike rodeo,” said Adair. “All of the proceeds are going right bike into the community. It’s a great event for everyone. Kids are having a blast.” Adair thanked the local towing companies and the stars of Heavy Rescue 401 for helping the bike rodeo. “We appreciate the partnership we have with them,” said Adair.

Town to hold public “open mic” nights, including some prior to council meetings
www.rivertowntimes.com
Town council wants quarterly meetings in various parts of Amherstburg By Ron Giofu Town council will be hitting the road every few months to hear from residents as well as starting earlier some nights for the same purpose. Council members voted to have public meetings every other month to start before the regular session so that residents can discuss issues and concerns they have with elected officials. There will also be
Thursday, August 22 at 3:00pm
open houses set up quarterly in various parts of Amherstburg so that residents can come out and express their views and concerns. Councillor Michael Prue said the concept has worked well when he served in East York and believes it can work well in Amherstburg also. Prue noted that by having some of the meetings at town hall, administration could be present. He cited an example from his past experience of a resident getting a quick turnaround time on their complaint through such a meeting. Councillor Donald McArthur believed it was a great idea to go to the public and venture out to the former Anderdon and Malden townships. “Let’s go to them,” said McArthur. “To move this show on the road, that is an excellent idea.” McArthur envisioned that residents would have a platform to address council in a “low key and casual” environment. Councillor Marc Renaud had a similar opinion as McArthur. Renaud said by going out in the spring, summer, fall and winter to different areas of Amherstburg, it gives rural residents a chance to stay closer to home and to pose questions to town council members. “To go out into the municipality gives residents an opportunity to come to us and not have to come into town,” said Renaud. “We have to get information out to the residents and be as transparent as we can,” added Councillor Peter Courtney.
A crowd of people are pictured during an Amherstburg town council meeting. Town council plans to take the “show on the road” and hold meetings at various different places within the community.
Courtney also voiced concern over a conversation he had with a resident on the topic, stating it was misconstrued when it was posted to Facebook. He clarified that he does not speak on behalf of town council and believed the misinterpretation of what was posted was an example of what can happen when a long conversation is converted into a shorter message.

Ramsey added she looks forward to the race and plans to run a positive campaign. There is a lot of divisiveness in politics, but Ramsey added she rejects “nasty” politics. “I think the people of Essex deserve better,” she said, adding she wants to show what happens when people work together. It is humbling to run for office and

Challenging Ramsey will be Conservative candidate Chris Lewis, who also ran for the Progressive Conservatives in the last provincial election.

Admirals hosting conditioning skates, getting ready for training camp Training camp runs this Friday and Saturday at the Libro Centre By Ron Giofu Members of the Amherstburg Admirals are back on the ice with hopefuls trying to crack the Jr. C hockey team’s lineup. The Admirals were on the ice twice last week and twice more earlier this week for conditioning skates at the Libro Centre with training camp running this weekend. Head coach Paul Bortignon said they didn’t have all of their players as some were away on vacation while others were at Jr. B training camps, but they still got a look at some returning players and others that hope to be on the roster when the season starts Sept. 20 in Lakeshore. “With the ice going in so late this year, we got off to a late start,” said Bortignon. “That kind of put our numbers down a bit.” There were about 20 players last Wednesday night and another 15 or so last Thursday with numbers not available as of press time for the Monday and
Tuesday skates but Bortignon noted last Thursday night that a lot of the newly signed players and others hoping for a roster spot were out trying to make a good impression. The coaches take the conditioning skates for what they are, Bortignon added, and that it is mainly a chance for players to shake off the rust from the summer and get back in hockey mode. “Overall, the main reason for the camp is to get their feet under them and get a good sweat going,” he said. The first training camp scrimmage is Friday from 8-9:30 at the Libro Centre with a pair of practices Saturday from 10-11 a.m. and another from 11 a.m.-12 noon. The blue versus white game is 2 p.m. Saturday with all skates open to the public. Bortignon said there are about five roster spots up for grabs up front while another spot is open on defense.

Three people with Bulldog ties part of Ravens’ provincial football title
By Ron Giofu The Essex Ravens recently captured the Ontario Provincial Football League title and did so with three people on the team having a connection to the General Amherst football program. Quarterback Emmitt Rosati and running back Levi Reaume were part of the Ravens’ championship team with John Rudak being on the Ravens’ coaching staff. Rudak is the head coach of the Bulldogs but served as quarterbacks coach with the Ravens. Rudak said London was usually the favourites the last few seasons and had a winning streak that lasted over 20 games, including a win over the Ravens earlier this season. It would be the only loss the Ravens would suffer. Rudak believed there might be something special after the team’s third game of the season, which was a victory in Ottawa by four touchdowns. He said they were able to move players around during the season between different positions, though noted Reaume missed some time with a triceps injury. “Essentially, Levi became our best blocking back,” said Rudak. “He sacrificed his touches to make some smashes out there.” Essex would finish the season 11-1, including the 25-6 victory over the
Ottawa Sooners at TD Waterhouse Stadium in London. Along the way, the Ravens would avenge the loss to London by defeating
them in the semi-finals at Alumni Field at the University of Windsor. “We allowed (London) to see us play two weeks in a row,” said Rudak,

“once at our house and once at their house watching us.” Rudak believed the Ravens showed progress throughout the season. “We stayed on a steady climb all the way through,” said Rudak. Rosati, who will be returning to General Amherst in September, pointed out there were a lot of good players on the Ravens this season. “There’s a lot of talent on the team this year and we had a lot of returning players from last year,” said Rosati. “We played really well.” Rosati added that “it was amazing being with all of the guys” with Reaume believing it was an accomplishment everyone can say they were a part of. Reaume said he graduated from General Amherst and will be attending St. Clair College in the fall. He believes his playing days are over, though hasn’t ruled out coaching. “As a player, I don’t think so,” Reaume said of staying on the field, though was open to “start passing the knowledge down.” It was Reaume’s first year in the Ravens program and it was the eighth for Rosati. Rudak pointed out that workouts for the Bulldogs are underway this season at Centennial Park. General Amherst students interested in being part of the football team are invited to attend the 5 p.m. practices.

Sr. Cards get back on the winning track with victory in Harrow Cardinals finish regular season this week after beating Harrow last Sunday afternoon
The Amherstburg Cardinals have rediscovered their winning ways. The Cardinals travelled to Harrow Sunday and knocked off the Blues 8-4. It was the first win for Amherstburg since July 17, with six straight losses suffered by the Cardinals in between. The Cardinals did a lot of their damage early, with one run in the first and three more in the third, building a 5-1 lead in the process. Amherstburg scored three more in the top of the seventh inning, runs that proved handy as Harrow would score three of their own in the bottom of the inning. The Blues couldn’t score any more with the Cardinals getting the final out just minutes before thunderstorms rolled through the area. “It’s good to get back in the win column after six straight losses,” said Nick Price, who played left field in Sunday afternoon’s game. Price noted that Cole Lepine pitched a strong game for the Cardinals. ir future “The bats woke up today. We got good pitching too, from Cole,” said Price. policy can help you The Cardinalsprepare will for conclude their Essex County al needs and provide e future holds.

Town to have election system investigated, a ward system a possibility
Councillor Peter Courtney asks administration for a report Could a ward system be on the way to Amherstburg? It’s too soon to tell, but Councillor Peter Courtney wants the concept explored. Courtney said while campaigning during the 2018 municipal election, the issue came up while canvassing in the rural areas of town. He said that from an optics perspective, people want to ensure their tax dollars are spent in their areas of Amherstburg. “By looking at a ward system, it might make people feel more included and that they have a seat at the table,” said Courtney. The report Courtney requested would look at keeping the current at-large voting system, implementing a ward system or studying a hybrid solution. He said he brought it up early in this term so that administration has time to make a report and, should any changes be agreed upon by town council, it would give enough time for necessary approvals from upper levels of government and for implementation in time for the 2022 municipal election.
Courtney added he made a campaign promise to look into the possibility of a ward system, but that is as far as the report will go. He wants options for town council to consider but doesn’t guarantee there will be any changes. “It doesn’t mean we’re going to act on it,” he said of the report. A request was not made by Courtney for when the report should be back before town council, as the councillor believes it will take time to gather the necessary information that the report will contain. “There’s no doubt there’s going to be a lot of homework that has to be done on this,” said Courtney. Courtney envisions residents being able to contact any council member, should there be a ward system implemented, and believed a benefit of a ward system would be that workloads would be “balanced” for council members as they would be able to focus closer on a specific area. However, he emphasized that he wants to hear both sides of the issue and get as much feedback from the community as possible. “You want to find out if it’s something the residents want,” he said. “I definitely want as much feedback as I can get.”

The Windsor Selects 15U team, which Amherstburg’s Owen Schipper is a part of, gather for a team photo after capturing the PBLO AAAA championship recently in Ottawa. Special to the RTT A local baseball player’s skills on the diamond are taking him places. Owen Schipper, a Grade 11 student at General Amherst High School, played for the Windsor Selects 15U in the Premier Baseball League of Ontario (PBLO) AAAA Championships that took place in Ottawa the weekend of July 24-28. Schipper was the starting pitcher in the 15-9 victory over the Royals in round robin play (game 4) to secure a 3-1 record and make it to Sundays final game vs the Terriers. Schipper batted second in the line up most of the weekend with some key appearances at the plate and base running. “The boys were fired up for the finals,” said Schipper. The Windsor Selects ended their season as the 15U PBLO
champions with a 6-3 victory over the number one seeded Oakville Terriers. Schipper played in left field making the final catch on the bottom of the seventh inning to secure the championship victory for the Windsor Selects. The PBLO is rated AAAA and is considered as the province’s elite baseball association for those high performance athletes recognized as some of the best in Canada. Schipper will be trying out for the Windsor Selects U16 for next season, meaning he wants to be on the team with other players aged 16-and-under.
Owen Schipper of Amherstburg was part of the Windsor Selects 15U team that won the Premier Baseball League of Ontario (PBLO) AAAA Championships. He will no try out for the 16U team.

While it is anticipated there will be more youth on this year’s Admirals roster, Bortignon said they plan to stick with their system and simply look to get better every game. “For us, it’s staying patient and sticking with the process,” he said. “Hopefully, we’re playing our best hockey in February.” The home opener for the PJHL Stobbs Division season is Sept. 29 against Mooretown, with the faceoff being at 7 p.m. The exhibition season opens Sept. 4 in Wheatley at 7:30 p.m. The Sharks come to Amherstburg Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. for the only pre-season game at the Libro Centre with the Admirals playing their third and final exhibition game Sept. 10 in Essex, also at 7 p.m.

Local goalie starts her own hockey clinic
RTT PHOTO BY RON GIOFU
Players go through drills at the Erica Fryer Goalie Clinic last week at the Libro Centre. The University of Toronto student started her own clinic as a way to give back to younger players. By Ron Giofu Erica Fryer still has her own dreams to pursue as a player, but that hasn’t stopped the University of Toronto student from passing her knowledge along. The Amherstburg native hosted her firstever goalie clinic last week at the Libro Centre. She said the clinic, known as the Erica Fryer Goalie Clinic, consisted of skating and shooting drills. The clinic was one day and lasted one hour. “I had a total of four goalies and a good handful of shooters,” she said. “We began the session focusing on the small details that come along with moving as a goalie. Being able to move in your net is one of the most important part of being a goalie. If you are
not able to follow the play and get to the puck, you won’t be able to make saves.” Fryer noted she taught the goalies in attendance a few new skills to add to their game as well as, reinforced good habits to the skills they already possess. Then, they got into the shooting drills which allowed the goalies to put the skating work they did into action, like in game-like situations. “For the goalies, we worked on the relax versus set stance; making sure they were pulling in their trail leg while sliding
or pushing; keeping their eyes down on pucks (tracking); slowing things down; and, game speed during this session,” said Fryer. “The main focus of these clinics are for goalie training; however, goalie clinics are very beneficial to players as well. Players are able to work on their skills as well. They get to practice their accuracy, shot, and work on game like situations while being able to see what the goalies are learning and apply that to their game.” Noting she is planning on starting clinics again next summer. She
COMMUNITY NEWS - Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 25
stated she will be away for school throughout the year, but she is looking forward to being able to help the young goalies in the area improve their game in the summer when she returns. “I love that I have the opportunity to give back to my community. I was once in these young goalie’s shoes and I am honoured that I am able to use my knowledge of the sport and past experiences to help get these goalies to the next level,” said Fryer. “I want nothing but success for the young goalies in our community. I want them to believe and have trust in their abilities and know that by working on the little things and putting in hard work they are able to RTT PHOTO BY RON GIOFU fulfill their dreams.” May 16, 2019 Perpetual Waters - 3x University of Toronto student and Amherstburg For information on Gary Alan native Erica Fryer watches some of the action that upcoming sessions, call This proof is for typographical errors and omissions.

Town council gives green light for food truck at Waterfront Two meetings to deal with the subject of refreshment vehicles happening Thursday at Libro Centre By Ron Giofu
Amherstburg town council has OK’d a new food truck being stationed at the Waterfront Ice Cream Parlour. The truck, to be called the “Perch Pit,” will be located in the rear of the Waterfront’s property and be situated there from Good Friday to Thanksgiving. It will be operated by Bill Deslippe of Smashed Apple Catering and be a partnership with the Waterfront Ice Cream Parlour. In a presentation to town council, Deslippe referred to it as “two businesses coming together with the knowledge and expertise to create a new local landmark and tourist attraction to add to our vibrant downtown core.” Deslippe’s request was for council to grant relief from the existing food truck bylaw which states that food trucks cannot operate within 200 meters of an existing restaurant. As part of his
presentation, Deslippe provided town council with a list of signatures that included many restaurant and business owners. “We’ve gotten signatures from almost every restaurant in the downtown area supporting us,” he said. Deslippe added the truck will parked on private commercial property and will likely not move very much, barring short-term trips elsewhere. “It’s is going to stay there,” he said. “If we have to move it, we can. It will more or less be stationary. It is intended to stay.” With the goal of being similar to Birdie’s Perch in Leamington, Deslippe envisioned the Perch Pit becoming a hot spot for tourists and local residents alike. There will be five food items on the menu with a focus on high quality local food. An outdoor dining area would be under the existing Waterfront gazebo with patrons able to use the ice
cream shop’s washrooms. “We’re offering more than what a regular food truck offers,” he said. Councillor Michael Prue pointed out that while he was in support of the joint venture between Smashed Apple and the Waterfront, he questioned making a decision at the Aug. 12 meeting. He noted there is a meeting at the Libro Centre this Thursday where businesses are invited to give input on refreshment vehicles and thought it might be best to defer deciding on the Perch Pit request until after that. “We have to hear what the people of Amherstburg want,” said Prue. “I want to hear from the people before we grant an exemption for all times.” Prue added that local businesses pay taxes and “they need to be protected by us from time to time.” Jen DeLuca, co-owner of the Waterfront with husband Justin, pointed out they have been established
for 40 years and should have some say in what operates there. She noted they are licensed to serve food and this is their way to do that. Councillor Donald McArthur believed it was “a unique situation” and that was a less expensive way for Deslippe to set up shop. “I think unique situations call for one-off exemptions,” said McArthur. Councillor Peter Courtney also called it a “unique situation” and believed it was a great idea. He noted that many restaurants in the area support it and spoke in support of supporting downtown businesses. “To me, it’s a no brainer,” said Courtney. “It’s a commercial lot. It’s a 50/50 partnership with the Waterfront.” There are two meetings dealing with refreshment vehicles Thursday, with sessions ranging from 9-11 a.m. or 6-8 p.m. in the main floor multi-purpose room at the Libro Centre.
Three churches combine for outdoor service and picnic “I feel blessed,” he said. “I feel the joy of sharing our faith communally. I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to mingle with different people of the same faith and share the Word of God together.” Afolabi said his church, which was
founded by former slaves, is based on the idea that everybody is a part of God’s family. “Today is a retelling of the history of the church,” he said. “Regardless of who you are, you belong to each other and to God.”

Olaniyi Afolabi, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church, preaches at Toddy Jones Park in Amherstburg last Sunday. Afolabi was one of three pastors who gave sermons outdoors last Sunday, which were followed by a buffet-style picnic. By Jonathan Martin More than a hundred parishioners arrived at Toddy Jones Park quite hungry Sunday – hungry both for lunch and the Word of God. Amherstburg Community Church, Lighthouse Church and First Baptist Church joined forces to deliver a triplesermon, followed by a buffet-style picnic in the park. “This is an outreach program,” said Kerrington Sweeney, a youth pastor with Amherstburg Community Church. “It’s not every day that people get to see three churches’ worth of people out in a park, so it’s a good way to build connections.” She said that she saw some pedestrians stop by as the three churches’ pastors gave their respective homilies.
Adrian Ninaber, Lighthouse Baptist Church’s pastor, said that as Amherstburg develops plans to being in more citizens, the local churches must also prepare for new parishioners. The only way to spread the Word, he said, is together. “It’s nice to develop some camaraderie with the other pastors and to be working together to serve our community,” he said. “Baby boomers who are getting ready to settle down and enjoy the good life we have here in Amherstburg often come from church backgrounds. We’d like them to be a part of our church, but, more importantly, be a part of our community.” Olaniyi Afolabi, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church, said the occasion was also about fostering fellowship between Amherstburg’s parishes.
