Renovations celebrated at “Ribs & Ragtime” By Jonathan Martin

For the 10th year, Amherstburg Freedom Museum (AFM) celebrated African-Canadian heritage with Ribs & Ragtime. Hundreds gathered for the sold-out fundraiser. Windsor-based jazz band Black Orchid provided the tunes and volunteers served the catered food. Due to the number of attendees, AFM president Monty Logan said the event underwent a reconfiguration. “We had to move things around to make room,” he said. “The band had to face the other way this year and we had to move some tables around.” The most noticeable of the changes was the placement of a large, plastic cheque just in front of the band. AFM received $119,700 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) for earlier this year. Saturday, Logan showed off where that money went. “We got rid of the drop ceiling, got rid of the clutter, added new lighting,” he said. “Essentially, this capital infrastructure funding allowed us to better utilize the place on the inside.” On the outside, AFM has earmarked funding for roof replacement. The roof is made of cedar, though, and this spring has been too wet to execute the

plan so far. Logan did note that the museum’s log cabin has received new siding. “The impact of this Ontario Trillium Foundation grant cannot be underestimated,” said Mary-Katherine Whelan, curator/administrator. “This grant has allowed much needed renovations to be made. These renovations ensure the safeguarding of the museum’s collections, historic properties and permanent galleries, all of which focus on presenting and preserving the history of Underground Railway in Canada and legacies of those Freedom Seekers and their descendants who built their lives in Essex County during and after that period. The OTF Grant allows the museum to continue sharing this history and educating the public on this often overlooked and important historic movement in Canada and Essex County.” Amherstburg’s deputy mayor, Leo Meloche, was one of the event’s hundreds of attendees. “Museums are very important to the fabric of our society,” he said. “We use historical information, the knowledge of where we’ve been, when we try to figure out where we want to head together as a society.”

Portion of Concession 5 North to be rebuilt, town council not impressed with the costs By Ron Giofu A portion of Concession 5 North will be rebuilt but town council is not pleased that it is over-budget. The stretch of that roadway between Alma St. and County Road 10 (Middle Side Road) will be reconstructed at a cost of roughly $2.4 million. The town had budgeted $2 million for the work. Councillor Peter Courtney was angered with the report, stating Concession 5 North needs work but he didn’t like the inflated price. Councillor Michael Prue was also concerned about the rising costs, and questioned whether the town should go

ahead with the project and devote the $2.4 million to other projects. “Is it not better to take the money and spend it on other roads where we might get a better deal?” asked Prue. Manager of engineering Todd Hewitt noted that engineering work on the road was already performed in 2018 and that the road ranked third and fourth on the town’s roads needs study. “The road needs to be done,” he said. CAO John Miceli noted that that projects like the Gordie Howe International Bridge will impact the construction prices and that a trend of higher prices could be the norm for the next several years around the region.

The matter has been discussed in meetings with other CAO’s, he added, and that one strategy could be to defer projects and build up a reserve until prices come back down. Miceli also noted that it is getting late in the construction season and that a better value may not be found should council try and shift priorities. Councillor Donald McArthur said it is a tough situation to be in but the message of poor roads was one heard loud and clear during the last election. “We have to fix that road,” said McArthur. Later in the meeting, McArthur also addressed a section of Concession 5

North not covered by the tender, and that is the portion near County Road 8. He said he heard from a resident about the poor condition of that road. “It’s a little dangerous on the far end,” he said. Administration said it is on the list of repairs this year but the frequent rain events have delayed the repairs. Resident Nancy Atkinson called that stretch of the road “horrendous” and said recent repairs have only made things worse. She said there are now three holes in the road as well as cracks and a dip. “That area is a disaster right now,” said Atkinson.

Town council changes street name in Kingsbridge South By Ron Giofu A street name similarity in Kingsbridge South that was talked about at council earlier this year has come to a conclusion. Town council passed a bylaw changing Marsh Drive to Landor Drive at its meeting Monday night in an effort to eliminate confusion with nearby Marsh Court. While there were questions from some residents who live on Marsh/Landor Drive, town council members cited public safety as their main reason for changing the name. Mary and David Vandermuren asked council a series of questions including one that had been asked at the previous council meeting regarding

larger signage to see if that would work rather than changing the name. “I’d sooner put a band aid (on the situation) rather than go for stitches right away,” said David. David also questioned how long it would take for GPS and Google maps to be updated, a concern shared by fellow resident Michael Stacyszyn. Stacyszyn pointed out his wife has had health issues and would have difficulty giving directions if someone had to find their home. Councillor Peter Courtney asked fire chief Bruce Montone about GPS, with Montone stating it could be updated within 30 days with emergency crews using the old street name in the meantime. Courtney also said they chose to change Marsh Drive and the addresses of its 11 homes over Marsh Court and its

eight homes due to Marsh Court already having the proper designation as a court. “It made sense to leave Marsh Court. It is already worded properly,” he said. Richard Harvey, who lives on Marsh Court, said he supported the name change as his wife also has had health issues as have other neighbours. Harvey counted three times where emergency crews went to the wrong home due to the confusion of similar named streets. “We’ve been dealing with this for quite a number of years,” said Harvey. Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche pointed out the town will pick up costs for residents relating to their addresses being changed.

The Anderdon Public School graduating class of 1969 gathered at Fox Glen Golf Club last Friday night to celebrate its 50th reunion.

Anderdon Public’s Class of ‘69 holds 50th reunion By Ron Giofu It was a night filled with laughter and memories of one of the best times of their lives. A group of former Anderdon Public School students and four former teachers gathered at Fox Glen Golf Club last Friday night for their 50-year class reunion. The Class of 1969 swapped stories, looked at old photos and recalled their days at the public elementary school. “People are here from as far as British Columbia, Port Stanley, Hamilton, outside of London as well as local residents from Amherstburg, Windsor and Essex,” said Anna (DeThomasis) Savo, one of the organizers. Savo was joined on the organizing committee by Marian (Finn) Cote, Nancy (Jones) Tynski, Liz (Meloche) Skeates, Joanne (Meloche) Mancini and Gloria Morency. “We’re missing about ten of us,” said Savo. “We’ve lost some too.” A table was set up with photos and memories of teachers and students from the 1969 graduating class that have since passed away. The retired teachers included Ian Griffiths, Lonnie Jones, Bob Ellis and Jean Hodolich. Bill Patrick, Grant Balsdon and Ray Kenney were unable to attend. The idea had been talked about by the committee members and friends for several years before finally things came together this year. They spent much of the last year reaching out to former classmates and enjoyed doing so. “They’ve gone all over the place now,” said Savo. “With Facebook, e-mail and pictures on Facebook, we were able to get quite a few.” Savo said they enjoyed their days at Anderdon Public School, a feeling echoed by Morency. “A committee of us got together and thought it would be an excellent idea,” Morency said of the reunion. “Fifty years is a big occasion. We’re excited. It’s been very pleasant putting it together. It was a very pleasurable journey to do this.” The response was “amazing,” she added, and that “we’re grateful and appreciative that everything came together.” Tynski told the group before dinner that the committee would meet as friends and talk about it but finally decided to act on it before it was too late. “We just feel grateful,” she said. “This is a time of our lives where we are reflective.”

Gibson Gallery marks 50th birthday with new exhibit By Ron Giofu

Barb Cozens and David Cozens stand beside a painting of the Gibson Gallery done by Mary Celestino. Barb is the gallery’s longest-serving board member while David is the current president.

The Gibson Gallery’s 50th birthday is being celebrated this year and the current exhibit marks the occasion. “Celebrating 50 Years of the Gibson Gallery” opened June 4 and a reception was held Sunday afternoon. The exhibit features over 50 pieces of art by artists who have previously had shows at the Gibson Gallery over the past five decades. Dave Cozens, the current president of the Fort Malden Guild of Arts and Crafts, noted the Gibson Gallery opened June 22, 1969. The guild is the body that runs the gallery. The building is 123-years-old, having been built as a Michigan Central Railroad station in 1896 and Cozens noted that it was purchased in 1968 by the guild. “The deal was orchestrated by Hazen Price through his involvement with the Harrow Farmers Co-op, with a donation by Florence Gibson – hence the name Gibson Gallery,” he said. Over the years, the caboose was purchased, upgrades were made to all parts of the building, the bricks were restored, a new slate roof was put on and new fencing and lighting were installed. The next upgrade, should everything go according to plan, will be a new LED exterior sign at the road so that more people will discover the gallery. “Congratulations are due to the hundreds of volunteers, committee members and board members that have not only preserved this facility, but have significantly improved it over the past 50 years,” he said. “Thanks also to the

various guilds that meet here weekly including stitchers, painters and knitters, and the children’s classes provided year-round by our student instructors. We are also greatly indebted to the many artists that supported us by exhibiting here. All of this helps keep the gallery thriving.” Barb Cozens, Dave’s wife and the longest serving current board member, said she joined in 1980 as a way to meet new people. She recalled the gallery not having many board members and it struggled when it came time to do repairs with members having to donate. “Now, we are quite healthy,” she said. “We’ve come a long way.” Barb said she didn’t think she would be involved with the gallery as long as she has been, and has served in many ways including as president and treasurer. “It’s something I can’t see myself doing without,” she said. Trudy Dempsey, chair of the exhibit committee, said the Gibson Gallery is run by “a very dedicated group of volunteers” with the only paid employees being office administrator Bonnie Deslippe and student employee Rachel Fitzgerald. “We’re not just an art gallery. We’re a community gallery as well,” said Dempsey. The Gibson Gallery is located at 140 Richmond St. in Amherstburg and is open Tuesday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free and donations are accepted.

“The Amherstburg Freedom Museum serves as a reminder of the role our community played in the Underground Railway for Freedom Seekers to find refuge from slavery,” said Essex MPP Taras Natyshak. “The museum continues to inspire generations of Canadians, sharing our nation’s history of providing hope, opportunity, and freedom for those seeking a better life. It is an honour to celebrate the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant award to the Amherstburg Freedom Museum of $119 700. The grant will ensure the museum and historic Taylor Log Cabin continue to inspire generations, while serving as a reminder of

the core values our nation is founded.” Dan Allan, chair of the OTF selection committee, delivered the cheque to AFM. He said OTF’s grant review team was unanimous in its decision to award the money to AFM. “The space is fantastic,” he said. “(AFM) has done a wonderful job. They’ve digitized a lot of the collection, which I think will really appeal to the younger population who are used to playing with that kind of stuff.” Logan said he’s pleased with how the event turned out, with only one point of disappointment. “Being sold out, we had to turn people away,” he said.

McGregor Music Festival “very likely” hits fundraising goal By Jonathan Martin McGregor’s 30th annual music festival “very likely” reached its $50,000 goal, Sue LeClair, the festival’s chairperson, said. The official numbers won’t be out until July, but “well over 500 people” had already passed through the gate at Co-An Park by around 5 p.m. Sunday. One of the key events of the day was a pig auction, which LeClair said raised $1,900, doubling last year’s final bid. The car show featured 65 cars and 13 golf carts rolled up for the golf cart decorating contest. C2C Entertainment, the All-Nighters Band, All-Star Country, Brand X Live, Exit 31, Jammin’ 4 Wellness, Lookin’ Back and Bad Moustache provided this year’s entertainment at the McGregor Music Festival. The funds raised at the event go toward treating cancer in Windsor, Currently LeClair said. Over the

past 29 years, the festival has raised over $300,000 for the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation, but LeClair said there’s more work to be done. Three of the committee’s own members succumbed to the disease over the past year. Specific projects the money will go towards will be the patient assistance fund and a RHINO Laryngoscope. “I’ve been here since the festival started and I hope to be here when we hit year 50,” she said. “We have more draws than we did at the start, better prizes, great sponsors, more community support, great bands and a great team to put it all together.” LeClair said it takes between 60 and 100 people to put the event on. “It’s a long day,” she said. “But definitely worth it.”

Mike Wells of the Hospice Wellness Band sings at McGregor’s 30th annual music festival last Sunday afternoon. Proceeds from the event go to treating cancer in Windsor. This year’s fundraising goal is $50,000, with news of whether they hit that or not expected in July. RTT PHOTO BY JONATHAN MARTIN

Catholic Women’s League hosts “High Tea Party”

About 112 people attend annual event By Ron Giofu The St. John the Baptist Catholic Women’s League were in high spirits at their “High Tea Party.” About 112 women participated in the recent event at the Columbus Community Hall, slightly down from the 120 people that they usually average. Mary Brown, one of the members of the CWL, said they host the annual event to help raise money to assist them in giving grants to local organizations and projects. “Our organization believes in helping others in need,” Brown explained. “We’re a group of ladies from St. John the Baptist Church who meet once a month.” Brown and CWL president Mary Verstick added they try and keep the money local.

“If anyone has approached us and has a need, we as a group will vote on which charity we donate to,” said Brown. The fact attendance was down slightly this year was likely due to competing events, including the town’s “Garden Tea Party” and other events that were being held in Windsor. However, Verstick pointed out it is usually a sell-out. Verstick added there are local CWL members that participant in a CWL conference every year. This year’s conference was in Windsor and she reported it was “very well attended.” The local CWL also does a variety of activities, including monthly talks. Brown said one of the recent talks focused on water conservation and provided tips on how to not waste water.

Bonnie Reeves, Janet Annison, Darlene Bennett, Judy MacKinnon and June McManemy were just some of the ladies that took part in the Catholic Women’s League’s “High Tea Party” at the Columbus Community Hall.

Lawsuit between CAO, former mayoral candidate to proceed Motion dismissed by judge in defamation suit between John Miceli and Glenn Swinton city. The posts were later removed but Swinton did not apologize, as Miceli had asked. Richard Pollock, Miceli’s lawyer, said his client is concerned about his reputation and noted Amherstburg had six CAO’s in five years before Miceli’s arrival. Pollock stated that “Mr. Miceli has a right to protect his reputation” and that there is now a motion before the courts for a summary judgment with a hearing date for that not set as of yet. Pollock described his client as “a dedicated public servant who makes recommendations to council. It is council who makes decisions in the town, not Mr. Miceli. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous.” Pollock added that “to my knowledge, he’s done an excellent job win

the town.” Miceli is seeking $70,000 for defamation and $20,000 for aggravated, punitive and exemplary damages, as well as an injunction prohibiting Swinton from publishing or broadcasting statements “which the plaintiff maintains suggest he is mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, or is responsible for criminal acts,” Bondy reported in his ruling. None of the allegations or claims have been proven in court. “The Courts of Justice Act allows the Defendant to attempt to knock out the Plaintiff’s action in the early stages. The Defendant attempted to do that. The attempt did not succeed. The legal action now continues through the court process,” Leardi stated in an e-mail to the RTT.

Wednesday

The defamation lawsuit brought by chief administrative officer (CAO) John Miceli against a former mayoral candidate will proceed now that a motion has been dismissed. Justice Christopher M. Bondy dismissed the motion brought forth by Glenn Swinton and his lawyer Anthony Leardi following a one-day hearing on the matter. The motion was dismissed by Bondy in a mid-May ruling. The motion was brought forward by the defendant “on the basis it is a ‘SLAPP suit’ (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) and that to allow it to continue would have the effect of limiting public debate,” Bondy stated.

“I conclude on the evidentiary record before me, and for the purposes of this motion, that the potential damage to Mr. Miceli far outweighs the public interest in protecting this type of expression. I conclude that the harm likely to be or which has been suffered by the plaintiff as a result of the defendant’s expression is sufficiently serious that the public interest in permitting the proceeding to continue outweighs the public interest in protecting that expression,” Bondy wrote in his ruling. The lawsuit was filed last year over Facebook postings by Swinton. Posts related to the switchover from the Amherstburg Police Service to the Windsor Police Service as well as a court case involving a City of Windsor employee over a matter that occurred while Miceli was still employed by the

Villanova raises $40,000 at recent Relay for Life By Ron Giofu St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School stepped up again this year in the fight against cancer. The Catholic high school’s annual Relay for Life event was held Friday in conjunction with the Canadian Cancer Society. Approximately 400 students participated by raising at least $60 each, the minimum requirement to be able to take part. “It’s our biggest Relay for Life yet,” said Elizabeth Sauve, the head of the student-run organizing committee. Sauve said when the donations were counted, it showed Villanova had raised approximately $40,000. She added they were pleased with the level of support. “It’s really awesome,” said Sauve. “We are so excited.” “It’s really touching to see all of the people come out to support the cause,” added committee member Sante Fallea,

A “Survivor’s Lap” kicked off the recent Relay for Life” event at St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School. The school raised $40,000 this year. adding that some students raised over $1,000 while companies also pitched in with donations. People were going “above and beyond,” said Sauve. Fallea added that “we are all here because cancer has touched our lives.

I am no different.” He added that there will be 131,300 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Canada this year. “These are our families, friends and neighbours,” he said. “These are the people we care about.” Progress has been made in the fight

against cancer and Fallea pointed out there have been improved survival rates and additional research. He implored his fellow students to keep up the fight. “Cancer changes everything,” he said. “So can you. By getting involved in the Relay for Life, we are joining over 25,000 students in Ontario and 150 high schools. Together, we are stronger than cancer.” The Relay for Life was not only to raise money and awareness but “a party with a purpose,” with fellow committee member Matteo Majalli pointing out the Canadian Cancer Society’s mission is to eradicate cancer and improve the lives of those battling it. “We envision a world where no one fears cancer,” he said. Students participated in a number of activities throughout the afternoon and evening, including walking a lap around the school’s track with survivors, playing games, having a barbecue and an evening luminary ceremony.

Public has their say in Beaudoin Park improvements By Ron Giofu

Beaudoin Park will be getting upgrades this year and the town’s parks and recreation department wanted to hear what the public’s ideas are for it. The park, located within the River Canard subdivision, was the subject of an open house at Amherstburg Fire Station #2. Town council devoted $170,000 in upgrades to the aging park and director of parks, recreation and culture Phil Roberts and parks manager Annette Zahaluk were on hand answering questions and

taking suggestions from residents. A pair of local youths, Bethany and Andrew Adams, came with their father to the open house and were in favour of new equipment. Bethany explained they do daily physical activities at her school but there is little to do when they go to the park. “It will be nice to do more things there,” she said.

Continued on Page 23 Andrew and Bethany Adams take a look at some of the Beaudoin Park drawings that the town had prepared as part of a recent open house.
