Welsh said he loves living in Mc Gregor but questions how much atten tion residents in that community get from the town.
A major concern voiced by Welsh was flooding, as he pointed out his base ment has flooded three times in the last five years with some of those seeing over a foot of water in his basement.
“The only time you come to the coun try is when you want tax base,” he said.
Councillor Peter Courtney also voiced concern with the town’s ability to handle new homes and wanted to know if there was information available showing how many land severances in the area could possibly tie into the Mc GregorResidentsystem.James Lenson asked about homes and their sizes, noting there could be smaller lawns, more pavement and less area for water to dissipate.

Spencer added: “We have to design for much less release in the stormwa ter that is entering the abutting drains. Even those are getting less flow from the subdivision that it is now, no ques tion.”Councillor Michael Prue added “it ap pears almost everything has been done” but requested the recommendation in clude that county planner Rebecca Be langer be asked to undertake any addi tional stormwater management studies she may feel are necessary.
Police say that on September 13 around 1 a.m., an of ficer with Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg de tachment was monitoring speed of traffic by conducting radar in the area of County Road 20 and Shaw Drive. Ac cording to police, at this time, the officer observed a blue Dodge journey travelling east on County Road 20 at what appeared to be above the posted speed limit in an 80 km/hr zone. The officer activated the radar and the vehicle was found to allegedly be travelling in excess of 20 km/hr above the posted speed limit.
Residents object to subdivision expansion, cite infrastructure concerns
The Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detach ment have laid a pair of charges against an 18-year-old Amherstburg resident after a traffic stop last week.
The development, which would be built to the west of the first phase and located just south of Middle Side Road (County Road 10) in McGregor, drew concerns and ire of some of those who attended the Sept. 12 meeting at town
Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche, who also lives in McGregor, noted the ground is hard in that area of the county and water has few places to go. He also said there have been incidents of “cloudbursts” over the years that brought heavy rain to the area, adding he recalls seeing people with canoes rowing down roads in Lucier Estates.
Town administration said the infra structure is “sound” in that area but Welsh added “I promise you we will flood again and it isn’t going to be good. You have no idea how frustrated I am.”
“I’mhall.against all of this,” McGregor resident Tom Welsh told town council.

Rick Spencer from the engineering firm RC Spencer and Associates said they have already done a traffic study that “clearly states there would be an in significant impact” on County Road 10 and nearby intersections. A storm water management plan was also completed and approved by the Essex Region Con servation Authority (ERCA) and the Ministry of the Environment, Conserva tion and Parks (MECP).
Welsh added “we pay a lot of taxes in this town” and questioned what would happen if another 69 homes were built nearby. He said he is not opposed to de velopment, but the infrastructure has to support
Police say the vehicle was stopped and as a result of the investigation, an 18-year-old Amherstburg resident was charged with speeding, and driving while under suspension. The vehicle was towed as it was subject to a seven-day impound, police add.

Spencer said the stormwater plan for Phase 1 was not designed to the up graded standards that were put in place in 2018. The newer design standards are more stringent as are ERCA’s require ments for the naturalized stormwater management pond, Spencer indicated. He believed flooding in the area was not directly connected to the existing pond or the town’s sewage system in that area, but to “an interconnection of sanitary and storm sewers on the pri vateCourtneyside.” asked if upgraded storm water designs for Phase 2 could allevi ate issues that have occurred in Phase 1.

“It is designed for the stormwater that is coming off Phase 1,” said Spencer. “It will improve the outlet condition, there is more storage. We have to design for the much higher criteria.”
“At the end of the day, we can’t tell the engineer how to do her job,” saidTheMeloche.matter was forwarded to the County of Essex, with the county also being informed of flooding that has oc curred in the area over the last five years to ensure the town has done its due dili gence to ensure support has been pro vided to residents.

“It’s time to upgrade that park,” said Meloche, whose father helped found Co-An Park. “It’s a 40-acre park. It’s a very well-used park over the years by many residents around the area including Windsor, because it does attract a lot of baseball tournaments. It attracts a lot of Jack and Jill events and family functions. It is a well-used park.”Councillor Don McArthur said he “definitely supports” the motion as well. He said he drives by it frequently and sees it being used, including by local pickleball players.
Town council directed administration to proceed with the first phase of public engagement and consultation in conjunction with the Town of Essex to “identify redevelopment opportunities for Co-An Park.” Also approved was an unbudgeted expenditure not to exceed $10,000 plus HST as well as a transfer from the parkland reserve fund for the publicDeputyconsultation.Mayor Leo Meloche, a McGregor resident who also sits on the Co-An Park board of directors, welcomed the idea.

The parks master plan says there should be a playground within 500m of built-up urban areas, McArthur continued, and “it’s not happening technically on Amherstburg lands. It’s not happening out there. They do have Co-An Park that’s the one thing that sort of saves us in that regard.”
Baillargeon said the two towns will look at the park, user agreements and come up with a master plan that fits with both municipalities.
The Town of Amherstburg recognized three local sites with heritage plaques as part of the Sept. 12 town council meeting.

“It will be holistic in nature. We will look at those costs and report back to council,” said Baillargeon.

“That's a feel-good win for our team,” he said, though acknowledging Mooretown played the night before and beat Wallaceburg 12-2.
The Admirals scored twice late in the first period with Max Jones scoring the first one and Candido getting his first of three goals less than two minutes later. The Admirals carried that 2-0 lead until midway through the second period when Mooretown's Tristen Konrad and Jace Dupuis scored 58 seconds apart to tie the score.However, Candido would score two more goals in a 21-second span late in the second period to put the Admirals up 4-2 after 40 minutes. Allan Djordjevic's goal in the third period rounded out the scoring Sunday night.
Amherstburg now has a three-game road trip starting Friday night in Lakeshore. They play this Sunday (Sept. 25) in Blenheim before going to Essex Sept. 27. Their next home game is Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. versus Wallaceburg.

Amherstburg outshot Mooretown 39-27.
Also credited were general manager Greg Crain and assistant general manager Craig Russett for their work in shaping this year's roster.
“It took us the first ten minutes of the game to get our legs going,” said Admirals head coach Paul Bortignon. “After that, I thought our forwards, defence and goalie played well.”
Amherstburg’s Colton Candido (10) scores a first period goal on Mooretown’s John Chartrand during Sunday night’s 5-2 Admirals’ victory. Candido would finish with three goals on the night.
Candido added he came into the game putting the team first and wanting to do what he could to make them successful. He said he is in his final year of Jr. C hockey so he wants to do what he can to make the Admirals successful.
The Admirals opened the regular season with a 5-2 win over the visiting Mooretown Flags Sunday night backed by a hat trick from Colton Candido. After a pre-season where many veteran players didn't play to allow young players to try and make the team, the veterans returned Sunday night and showed what they can do.
Bortignon said the players were excited to beat Mooretown, as they had lost nine straight games to the Flags heading into Sunday night's game.

Bortignon said they had a bit of a letdown in the second period but picked it up shortly thereafter. He credited not only the coaching staff, including assistants Mark Turner and Cody Schneider, who held summer skates to improve conditioning. Bortignon believed that paid off Sunday night as they had a full 60-minute effort.

Pettypiece said if the players don’t learn the game correctly, that can impact their playing time and enjoyment as they get older. Many start walking away from the game in their teen years. He said sports are important as they learn life lessons along the way.
“The idea is to hold on to our kids as long as we can,” said Pettypiece.
“I never want to see a kid quit,” he added.
Pettypiece said “it’s good to be back on the ice” and said he participated in a pilot project last spring. He enjoyed it so he accepted the position for this season.
“I like working with young kids, girls or boys,” said Pettypiece. “There’s a level of enthusiasm no other level of hockey can really match.”
Pettypiece said he not only mixes in teaching, but games to keep the players interested. The activities he mixes in helps the kids learn without them knowing they are actually working on their hockey skills. He said he uses not only hockey pucks, but soccer balls and other equipment in his teachings in order to keep the

players having fun as they learn the sport.
Pettypiece added they try to recognize the players for the “small victories” on the ice, from getting up when they fall down to getting excited whenever they’re on the ice. He said other female players he has coached, including his daughter Stacee, have returned to the ice to help him coach and develop the young girl players.

Pettypiece and Atkinson said they have championed teaching skills for over 20 years, noting they used to run a hockey school that taught students on half of the rink. That allows for players to touch the puck more and learn how to make quicker decisions.
“It’s more concentrated,” said Pettypiece.

Atkinson said these two age groups will not concentrate so much on game results, but the development of the girls as hockey players. He noted Pettypiece will work with the U7 girls all season long and the U9 division until Christmas and possibly longer.
Your story is important to your family. Creating that story with your loved ones is a great way to give them a glimpse into what is important to you, your journey and why it matters. The people, places and things you have done create a legacy that can bring joy to generations to come.
Noting he has great respect for volunteer hockey coaches, Pettypiece said he is willing to teach them as well so they can pass skill development onto their players.“Volunteer coaches do the best they can,” he said. “We wouldn’t have hockey without them. I like training the coaches as well as the players.”
Dan Pettypiece is working with the South County Predators girls hockey association (SCPGHA) and helping to develop their U7 (ages five and six) and U9 (ages seven and eight) players.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Your love life may seem confusing this week, Gemini. It may wax and wane from fevered passion to apathy. Rough patches are not unusual and you need to see this through.
Your desire for excitement could lead you on a wild goose chase, Scorpio. You may find that it’s not excitement you need, just a change of scenery. Book a trip.
Even the best plans can use a little tweaking from time to time. Go with the flow, Aquari us. Enjoy this more laid back approach and consider taking it more often.
