A sold-out crowd of 180 people packed the Libro Centre’s community room last week to hear from a worldrenowned urbanist and his ideas to make Amherstburg an even better place. Gil Penelosa, founder and chair of 8 80 Cities and chair of World Urban Parks, was in Amherstburg last Tuesday night where he spoke to the large crowd about his ideas on how to make the town better for all age groups. Penelosa was invited to town by the Amherstburg Community Foundation (ACF) with it being the The band “Black Orchid” ACF’s first of three planned events in its performed at “Ribs “Thought Leaders” series. & Ragtime” President “We must(above). create cities differently from Monty Logan (second what we are doing,” saidfrom Penelosa. “We left)toaccepts OTF cheque have recreatethe cities around people.” from team member Dan Allen, Penelosa called for Amherstburg to Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Percy “be bold” and promoted bicycling and Hatfieldnoting and Essex Taras walking, thoseMPP are the most popular (right). for people.

ranking of Canadian municipalities, Penelosa noted that “you were behind some of your neighbours” and quipped that he wishes Amherstburg was ranked 324th. “That would have been like an electrical shock,” he said. “You would have been like ‘we have to do something.’” Penelosa believed there is too much parking within Amherstburg and that speed limits are “way too high.” He recommended that speeds in residential neighbourhoods be lowered to 30 km/hr and if that were to happen, he predicted that a greater mix of cyclists and walkers would use the roadways. “People don’t want to walk where people can go 50 or 60 km/hr,” he said. Walking and cycling improve not only physical health, but mental health and social interaction as well, he said. Roadways are public spaces and can be used by everyone, he believed. He also called for more occasions of open streets for pedestrians and cyclists as if the streets are opened to people, “that’s when the magic happens.”

Liberal candidate acclaimed for Oct. 21 federal election By Ron Giofu

The Liberal candidate in the riding of Essex for the Oct. 21 federal election is a familiar name to many. Audrey Festeryga will once again run for the Liberals and she was acclaimed at the party’s candidate in her Essex campaign office last Friday afternoon. This will be the second time she has run, also having done so in the 2015 federal election. Her daughter Kate was the provincial Liberal candidate in 2018. “Why should Essex continue to have a third place MP who is only good at photo ops and being an obstructionist?” asked Festeryga, in reference to the NDP incumbent Tracey Ramsey. Not only did Festeryga question why people should vote the NDP, she didn’t speak favourably of the Conservatives and their candidate Chris Lewis. Believing the Conservatives are only interested in cuts, she said going back to them would only return to the “divisiveness” of the Stephen Harper era. “There is nothing to gain by voting NDP,” said Festeryga. “The only way to defeat Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives is to vote Liberal. A vote for Audrey Festeryga is a vote for effective representation in Essex. We need a seat at the table.” Festeryga said she has been working behind the scenes on issues and knocking on doors the last four years. She noted she has been cancer-free for five years and she is excited to try her hand again at being the riding’s Member of Parliament. “Essex is ready to have a representative of the government at the table,” she said. Festeryga touted the Liberals’ record over the last four years, telling supporters that the unemployment rate is at its lowest in 40 years. She indicated she wants to go further, with jobs being the top issue for her, though also said fewer young people are leaving the area to find work as they did under the previous Conservative government. “My number one priority is to help create jobs,” she said. “It’s important we bring jobs back.” Relating to infrastructure, “if we have a voice at the table we can get projects done faster,” she added. A lawyer by trade, Festeryga called herself “the most qualified candidate by training, education and

She called the Canada Child Benefit plan the most effective piece of social programming since universal health care and stated “our government is doing what matters most to families.” Festeryga added: “I know what it’s like to be fiscally responsible and I want to bring that fiscal responsibility to Ottawa as your MP.” She also

Town council receives DC report, more discussions planned

RTT PHOTO BY RON GIOFU

Nancy Neale of Watson and Associates speaks to Amherstburg town council during a public meeting on a new development charges bylaw last week. Neale was the consultant that helped guide the town through the process. The current development charges bylaw expires Oct. 4. By Ron Giofu Town council has received a consultant's report on development charges (DC's) and more discussions are likely in the coming weeks. As the town's current development charges bylaw expires Oct. 4, the town is looking at a new one that currently calls for increases to residential charges and reductions elsewhere. However, there are still questions about provincial legislation with that scheduled to be passed after a new development charges bylaw has to be passed by the town. The town is scheduled to pass a new development charges bylaw Sept. 23. Mayor Aldo DiCarlo noted that council has simply received the report from Nancy Neale of Watson and Associates. “At this point, it's just a guess as to what council wants and is comfortable with,” he said. The fact there are still answers outstanding as to how the new legislation will impact municipalities, DiCarlo admitted was frustrating because “we want to do as much preliminary work as we can” but acknowledged this has happened on other issues

Our Place Ladies Fashions

so the town can only do as much as it can without knowing further details. The mayor indicated he is not in favour of waiving development charges and neither are residents he speaks with, as there is always a cost to development and without development charges, those would be passed down to the residents. Neale noted in her presentation that to “make it whole” in terms of development charges reserves, the money would have to come from other sources such as additional taxes or water and wastewater rate increases. “It really comes down to there is a cost and who should pay for it?” said DiCarlo. While town council can adopt its own figures, the consultant's report as it stands now calls for residential single detached dwelling charges to jump from $13,049 to $16,242, including a newly created $2,773 that would be devoted to parks and recreation services. The new system would also include a community benefit charge coupled with the DC's and that is likely where the parks and recreation charge would fall. Municipalities have until Jan. 1, 2021 to decide how to proceed with a community benefit charge. Non-residential developmental charges rates could jump from $6.80 to $8.51 per square foot in a totally serviced area. Industrial charges in Amherstburg would rank as the highest in the area, the report added. Councillor Michael Prue questioned how the forecasts of growth were achieved, with Neale noting that meetings were held with town and county planning representatives as well as from applications that have been filed thus far. Prue noted that economists are calling for a recession and asked what would happen in that regard, but Neale said the municipality could slow down its capital funding accordingly if growth were to slow down. “I'm not concerned with the forecast itself,” she said. “It really comes down to a timing issue.” Relating to exemptions for churches and buildings of that nature, Neale added that it is up to town council to determine what portions of the buildings are exempt, if any. Prue also wondered if the town has enough resources to deal with potential changes but CAO John Miceli indicated much will be determined when the province decides in October how it is going to proceed. He noted that if there are exemptions granted to developers or other groups, he is of the

understanding that the town would have to “make the development charges reserve whole.” “We are concerned about it,” he said, of the direction that is to come from the province. “They are putting a lot more risk on municipalities.” Development charges are typically paid upon issuance of a building permit but non-profit groups may have upwards of 20 years to pay it back. Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche believed that could be “an accounting nightmare” if ratepayers have to make it whole at first and slowly give a percentage back to ratepayers when the charges are collected. Miceli indicated it is part of the province's affordable housing strategy and while he couldn't say whether the town would need more resources, he believed it could pose “a major challenge for us.” Councillor Marc Renaud pointed out the provincial legislation will be passed in October but the bylaw is due for adoption Sept. 23. “How do we deal with something like that?” he asked. Neale noted there are numerous municipalities that have development charge bylaws that are either expiring or set to expire and “right now, the only thing we can do is follow the rules that are in place today.” Changes may be needed based on what the province decides. Prue wanted to know if the town has to deal with the matter when the budget comes forth in November and also called for regular reports to council not only before budget, but after it as well to update council on the matter including that of the possible community benefit charge.

committed to lower taxes, less waste, and holding municipal government accountable in how they spend your taxpayer money. We understand taxes are part of life, however, prudent fiscal planning and budgeting will lessen the burden on our residents,” said Rozankovic. “Just as important, another primary goal is to ensure that Amherstburg municipal government listens to, responds to, and acts on the concerns of its residents.” Rozankovic said the agenda at the first official meeting of the group, under its new charter, was to set the board. They also raised other issues that concerned them, he said. “The biggest issues are Centennial Park and the budget,” said Rozankovic. “By no means are they the only two items, but those are the major ones.” According to Rozankovic, a cross section of people from youth to seniors attended the meeting from across the political spectrum. As of last Thursday night, 52 people joined the association and that

Harrow Fair celebrates 165th year By Ron Giofu

Agriculture and volunteerism were both celebrated as part of the 2019 Harrow Fair. The fair, which completed its 165th year, opened last Thursday and continued through the Labour Day weekend. It featured a parade Saturday and activities, entertainment, agricultural-themed competitions, carnival rides and the famous pie auction. Of the 165th anniversary, Harrow Fair board president Luke Korcok quipped that “it's too much to count” and “we're doing a good job.” Korcok thanked his fellow board members, the volunteers and all the helpers. “They enjoy helping us,” he said. “My thanks to every one of them. Without them, we have no fair.” Rose McLean, president of the Homecraft Directors, noted the fair started 165 years ago with such events as horse racing on a quarter-mile track and greased pig competitions. It has evolved over the years but a common theme has prevailed. “One thing we have been true to is our agricultural roots,” she said. McLean also thanked the volunteers and called for more. “It's a great way for your family to have fun with us,” she told the crowd at last Thursday night's opening ceremony. Essex Mayor Larry Snively also thanked the volunteers. “What a great fair – 165 years,” said Snively. “If it wasn't for the volunteers, this fair would never go on. This is an agricultural fair. It really shows what agriculture is all about.” Nelson Santos, deputy warden of Essex County and RTT PHOTO BY RON GIOFU Kingsville mayor, noted great stories have been told Horses were just part of the fun during the Harrow over the years at the Harrow Fair and it shows the Fair parade held before large crowds history of the area. Saturday morning. “We're excited to celebrate the continued success of

this tradition,” said Santos. Essex MP Tracey Ramsey brought greetings, calling the Harrow Fair “a hallmark of the community.” She also thanked everyone who helped organize the fair and said it is “so important” to focus on the area's agricultural roots. “You provide people from all across the county and Windsor an amazing experience,” said Ramsey. Patti Hayes, constituency assistant to Essex MPP Taras Natyshak, called the fair a great testament to agricultural and farming history. “This fair is an integral part of people's lives,” she said.

DiPietro gives back by instructing young goalies By Ron Giofu A group of 16 young goalies hit the ice Thursday evening and received instruction from coach Brian Spearing and a very special guest. Spearing presented a one-hour version of his “In The Zone” hockey school with the special guest being one of his long-time students who is now an NHL prospect – Michael DiPietro, an Amherstburg native who is a draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks. DiPietro said he always wants to continue to give back to the community and, on this occasion, do so with a coach that helped him get started. “I wanted to do this for a while,” the 20-year-old netminder said. “I want to give back to young goalies with the goalie coach I started with – Brian Spearing.” DiPietro said he not only wanted to teach the young goalies, but have fun with the kids as well. Spearing added that DiPietro’s game “is all about footwork” and that is a lot of what they tried to pass along to the young goalies. He hopes the

students will pick up on the tips Michael DiPietro (left) instructs both he and DiPietro taught them a young goalie and use it to improve their own during an “In games.” the Zone” goalie Goalie students ask him all the school camp last time about being able to work with Thursday evening DiPietro, Spearing stated, and now at the Libro Centre. they get that dream realized. “Michael was the first kid to sign The Amherstburg native wanted up with In the Zone goalie school. to give back to He stuck with it,” said Spearing. his hometown “I have had him since he was before heading eight-years-old.” to Vancouver for Recalling DiPietro telling him training camp. he was going to win the Memorial Cup, Spearing noted he followed through on that. “He sets his goals high,” he said, calling DiPietro “a very humble and very good kid.” DiPietro said he hopes to have a week-long camp next summer. As for his personal goals this upcoming hockey season, he flies out to Vancouver for training camp Sept. 5 and hopes to get as much game action as he can in 2019-20. “I want to play as many games as I can in whatever league I’m in and continue to improve my game,” said DiPietro.

Amherstburg hosts OBA Bantam “C” tourney Bulldogs gearing up

for 2019 WECSSAA football season By Ron Giofu

The Amherstburg Cardinals bantam team finished the OBA Bantam “C” tournament 1-2 but still came away with a chance to meet a future NHL star as Amherstburg’s own Michael DiPietro came out to support the team Saturday afternoon. Team members include Colin Hebert, Owen Harris, Colin Robillard, Colin Cote, Tanner Hotchkiss, Willy Metcalfe, Brett Jones, Gavin Meloce, Colby Bissonnette, Kyle Cote, Cameron Carvalho, Cooper Senick and Tommy Moulton. By Ron Giofu The Amherstburg Minor Baseball Association (AMBA) brought some of the best young talent to town again this year for another OBA tournament. The OBA Bantam “C” tournament was at the Libro Centre and Malden Centre Park over the weekend with the bulk of the games being at the Libro Centre. Dan Hebert, travel convener and umpire-in-chief with AMBA, said this was the second time Amherstburg has hosted an

OBA tournament since he has been involved. “We’ll be hosting it next year to show off the Libro Centre,” said Hebert. “Every out-of-town team has been wowed. It’s a jewel.” Next year’s tournament will be the same age group, which is players aged 14-15. “I won the bid for this year and next year (to host the tournament),” said Hebert. “It’s huge for the town.” Hebert said each league gets represented with the local league, the Sun Parlour League, being represented by

Belle River and the host Amherstburg Cardinals. Other teams included Listowel, Simcoe, Wallaceburg and Stratford. Amherstburg lost to Listowel 8-4 Friday before winning in walk-off fashion against Stratford 4-3 Saturday morning in Malden. The Cardinals lost to Wallaceburg 10-0 Saturday afternoon and were eliminated. The championship game was Sunday afternoon at the Libro Centre and saw the Belle River Braves knock off the Wallaceburg Warriors by a final score of 3-2.

The General Amherst Bulldogs football team won the WECSSAA Tier 3 championship last season and are hoping for similar success this year. The Bulldogs are back on the practice field as their training camp is underway. Practices have been held daily at Centennial Park with players running through a variety of offensive, defensive and special teams drills under the direction of head coach John Rudak and his staff. Rudak said there have been upwards of 28 players per day at practice and that number is expected to grow. “Not everyone is here,” he said, “but we’ve had about 40 show interest. It would be fantastic if we can get between 35-40 guys on the roster to start the season.” The Bulldogs have about 20 returning players from last year’s team, Rudak stated. Last season saw the Bulldogs go from a junior and senior football team to combining rosters and having one team compete. This year will likely be the same with one team taking the field in a lower tier conference. Rudak believes that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future but hopes for greater numbers once the new school is built. The offensive line should be a strength of this year’s team, Rudak projects, but noted there is not a lot of running back depth yet. Emmitt Rosati is returning at quarterback and he is anticipated to be one of the team’s leaders. Continued on Page 18

Owen Kempster will be able to play this year after having to sit out last year as a transfer student and Rudak envisions him as a multi-purpose player that will likely play slotback on offense and linebacker on defense. “He’s very athletic,” said Rudak. “He’s going to be all over the field for us.” Ethan Reaume will also be a key contributor, Rudak adds, with the Grade 10 student to play on both sides of the ball as well. Linemen Anthony McCarthy, Canyon Gooder and Ryan Older will be leaders as well and “will do a good job for us,” said Rudak. Winning last year will help drive the players even more this year, he stated, adding that there are still players who remember two years ago

GOD LOVES YOU

AND HAS PROVIDED FOR YOUR SALVATION THRU HIS SON JESUS CHRIST If you are not sure of your salvation I pray that you would stop right now and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Don't wait another minute. Here is an important prayer for you. Dear God: I thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ to die for my sins and that I might be saved. I accept him now as my Lord and Saviour and I turn from my past life to a renewed life in you through him. You said in your Word that if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead I would be saved (Romans 10:9). I believe your Word; I believe I am now saved, Thank You Lord.

Now go on and live for God

He said there are some new things being added to the defense this season and he is looking forward to implementing them. The new defensive schemes and looks were worked on in conjunction

Improving walkability should be a priority, he believed, and that there should be a “pedestrians first” rule. If a bikeway isn’t safe for an eight or 80-year-old person, “it’s nothing.” Supporting farmer’s markets, urban gardens, and active transportation is important for physical and mental health, he stated. There is plenty of “parking, parking, parking” around town and that “instead of parks, we are doing parking.” Penelosa also called for improvements to public transit and that the town’s size shouldn’t matter in those discussions. “Some people say we only have 20,000 people. So what?” he said. Municipalities should be compact and don’t work as well if amenities are spread out, he added. Parks need everything from places to sit to visions on what they are used for, Penelosa continued, adding that not only are benches nice, but so are game tables and walking trails. “If you have nice places to sit, it’s kind of magical,” he said. The best way to have safe and secure parks is to have parks with programming and activities, he told the crowd. “We should think Currently of parks as outdoor community centres,” accepting said Penelosa. ”It’s about new patients uses. Empty parks have and same-day very few benefits.” Penelosa believed emergencies! “there should be parks everywhere” and those parks should be within walking distances of people’s homes. Dr. Roy Dr. Sandra Dr. Dennis Amherstburg should Petras Frederick Petras not copy others, but adapt and improve. He said Call for infrastructure appointment: quality shows respect for the (519) 713-8985 people and asked for

additional focus on nice days rather than the bad days as that can improve the quality of life. “If we focus on the nice days, even the horrible days are not that horrible,” said Penelosa. Penelosa called for people to be ambassadors for the “gentle majority” and not the “squeaky wheel.” “Change is hard,” said Penelosa. “Staying the same is easier. Change is not unanimous. The general interest must prevail.” Change must occur through broad alliances, he added, and not just from levels of government. Penelosa did speak to a group of administrators from around Windsor-Essex County earlier in the day, also at the Libro Centre. ACF president Richard Peddie said the objective of the “Thought Leaders” series is to learn about best urban practices and to make the community better. “Not all of us have time and the finances to see what I call the best urban practices. We thought we’d bring Gil to you,” he said. The next event in the “Thought Leaders” speaker series is Sept. 17 featuring a panel discussion with moderator Cherise Burda entitled “Does Amherstburg aspire to the best? Or is it happy with the status quo?” Burda is the executive director of the Ryerson City Building Institute and panelists include Amherstburg town councillors Michael Prue and Donald McArthur, author, professor and advocate Shawn Micallef and Amy Farkas, a planner from Dillon Consulting. Tickets are free but donations are welcome. It runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The third event in the speaker series will be “What Do You Do When Science Issues a Warning… But No One Listens” with Dr. Gerald Kutney. That event is Nov. 13, also from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and will feature panelists that include ERCA general manager Richard Wyma and University of Windsor professor of environmental law Patricia Galvao-Ferreira. ACF vice president Chris Gibb concluded the evening with a reminder of the four initiatives the ACF is currently fundraising for – including the refresh of the Amherstburg Public Library, upgrades to Beaudoin Park in River Canard, the mentorship and Freedom Achievers program at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum, and a new walking and cycling trail ERCA wants to create at Holiday Beach Conservation Area.
