LEAMINGTON — The 2020 harness racing season kicked off on Sunday at Leamington Raceway with a card of 10 races put on by the Lakeshore Horse Racing Association. With COVID-19 restrictions in place, no spectators were allowed on the grounds, but wagering was held online as the races were livestreamed through the lakeshorehorseraceway.com website and on HPIbet.com. With the grandstands empty, the sound of new track announcer Nathan Bain’s voice echoed across the fairgrounds. The first race went off without a hitch as number 4, Why So Serious, went wire-to-wire for Marc St. Louis, who had four driving wins on the day. The handle (total dollars wagered) for the day was $11,300, which is down considerably from previous opening days.

Mixed emotions for Leamington’s Mayor

Mayor urges caution with Stage 3 promotion LEAMINGTON — This region’s move to Stage 3 on Wednesday has prompted a precautionary warning from Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

While she’s happy for the restaurants, gyms and other businesses who will be able to fully open, MacDonald fears an uptick in cases should the community not get behind the health guidelines.

“This may force us to add some layers to the mandatory mask ruling,” she said. “We still need to proceed with caution.”

A motion to create a new mask mandate in the municipality was to be brought forward at the Leamington council meeting on Tuesday evening, but results were not available at press time.

“We need to keep on social distancing, sanitizing and wearing masks,” said MacDonald.

“And act as if everyone is a potential carrier.”

MacDonald also wanted to come to the support of the Low-German speaking community, as she felt they were unnecessarily identified last week in the news media.

“That never should have happened,” she said. “I want to support the HILDA MACDONALD Low-German community.

Nobody should be pointing fingers at them.”

She added that identifying certain groups by religion, language or nationality serves no purpose, other than to cause issues for that group.

“Are French Canadian Catholics next?” she asked. “It seems like we all have to identify someone to blame the Coronavirus on.”

MacDonald sees all kinds of concerns throughout the community and most have no connection to any particular group, religion or demographic.

The recent request by Kingsville and other municipalities to identify case counts down to the neighbourhood is not something MacDonald wants Leamington to be a part of.

“I don’t believe it serves a purpose,” she said. “I’m not willing to have our neighbourhoods identified.”

The Stage 3 announcement means that gathering limits increase to 50 people indoors and 100 outdoors, where physical distancing can be observed. The provincial health people have stressed that physical distancing must be adhered to, or the plan will falter.

Hogs for Hospice 50-50 prize now over $50,000

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The first ever Hogs for Hospice 50/50 draw will be held this weekend and someone will walk away over $53,000 richer.

With the prize growing every hour, organizers hope that the final three days will bump the amount up even more.

“Here’s an opportunity to hopefully change one family’s lives,” said Hogs Committee member Joe Oswald.

The draw would have been a great addition to the annual Hogs for Hospice Motorcycle Rally, which should have been held on the Civic Holiday weekend.

According to Oswald, the 50/50 draw was already in place, long before the rally and concert events had to be cancelled due to COVID-19.

“We had everything ready to go and were going to be selling electronic tickets down at the park,” said Oswald.

“For this year, it will just be through the website.”

While it’s unclear how much could have been raised given the massive crowds at Seacliff Park, the committee is happy with the results so far.

They’ve had tickets available for three weeks and the draw will become an an-

nual fundraiser to coincide with the big event.

As for the committee, they found the Civic Holiday weekend to be unusually quiet this year. The committee members met on the Saturday morning at the amphitheatre to reminisce and have coffee.

“We were able to share memories, stories and how this annual event has truly changed our lives,” said Oswald. “We stayed there for about an hour and a half.”

The challenge for the group this year was to keep busy helping the community.

They chose to pitch in and help other groups who were trying to make a difference in the community.

“We helped out at the June 27th Miracle,” said Oswald. “We’re here to help any other organization that needs help.”

The Hogs t-shirt team recently helped out with the gardening at Erie Shores Hospice as well.

“We are so thankful to this community for their support and loyalty,” said Oswald.

Meanwhile, plans for the 2021 Hogs for Hospice Motorcycle Rally are moving full steam ahead. All four bands that

were booked for 2020 have committed to performing in 2021.

“We’ve got lots of surprises in store for next year,” said Oswald.

The committee is also happy that they were able to obtain the services of Ascend Fundraising Solutions, who are setting up and administering the 50/50 draw.

“We did our homework and found the best company out there to handle this draw,” said Oswald.

Ascend is responsible for many fundraising draws, such as the 50/50 draws

for major sports teams like the Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs.

They also recently handled a 50/50 draw for the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, which raised almost $300,000.

And on Friday, August 14, Ascend will draw one number out of the thousands entered and that will make one lucky person very happy.

It will also make Joe Oswald and his committee very happy.

“That’s what it’s all about,” he said.

You still have time to enter the draw at www.hogsforhospice.com

Nicholls announces transit funding C H AT H A M - K E N T — Last week, Ontario received federal funding approval for long awaited transit infrastructure projects for Chatham-Kent, Leamington and the Town of LaSalle.

Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls made the announcement on behalf of Ontario Infrastructure Minister, Laurie Scott.

“These projects are a combined investment of more than $5.8 million from the province, the federal and local governments,” said MPP Nicholls. “This investment will create jobs, improve local transit infrastructure and

help to kick start the reopening of the local economy.”

“Chatham-Kent is committed to developing a transit system that is safe, affordable, reliable and accessible and this funding is essential to that goal.

By helping us purchase vehicles, rehabilitate our shelters and upgrade our technology, Infrastructure Canada and the Province of Ontario are important partners in providing this vital service to our residents. We are extremely grateful for the support and partnership” said Mayor Darrin Canniff.

Last July, Ontario nominated a number of transit

and road infrastructure projects under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) for federal approval.

MPP Nicholls added, “Today’s announcement means that the province’s commitment of nearly $2 million towards fleet improvements, including accessible vehicles and updated transit technology and amenities for Chatham-Kent, and the purchase of two new larger buses in Leamington can move forward and be delivered quickly to the people of these communities.”

Make way for firefighters if you see the green flashing light

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — If you’ve ever been driving down the street and suddenly see a flashing green light in the vehicle behind you, chances are it was a local firefighter trying to get to the station.

These signs are posted at all four major road entrances to the Leamington core, reminding motorists to pull over and let firefighters by.

Sun photo

The question is — do you know what to do in that instance?

Of course, the courteous thing to do would be to safely pull over so the firefighter can get to where they are going.

The green light indicates that a firefighter is on their way to a fire call and time could be of the essence.

Leamington Fire Chief Andrew Baird says it’s not the law, but he’d like to see more compliance.

“As a courtesy, just let us get by,” he said. “We could be on the way to save someone you know, or even your family.”

Leamington has 28 part-time firefighters on staff, of which there is a duty squad on each day, compiled of seven firefighters.

If a fire call goes out, the firefighters have to leave their regular job or their home and get to the fire hall as quickly and safely as they can.

If you are putting along in your 2011 Honda, they will need to get by you.

Leamington averages 10-20 fire calls per week, that range from C02 alarms, to accidents to fully involved fires.

At any time, a fire call could go out and possibly more than 20 firefighters will be trying to get to the firehall at the same time.

This is where we, as drivers in the community, can help. If you see that flashing green light in someone’s windshield, take the time to safely pull over if you can. It may save someone’s life.

From left, councillors John Jacobs, Paul Tiessen and Mayor Hilda MacDonald flank the R-E-S-Q-TUBE with Pioneer Hybrid’s George Drummelsmith and Peter Neufeld, and Leamington’s Director of Community and Development Services, Paul Barnable.

Leamington Fire receives new equipment LEAMINGTON — Leamington Fire Services recently received a unique piece of rescue equipment called a R-ES-Q-TUBE. The tube, paid for through a grant supplied by Corteva Agriscience and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA), was made available to two departments in each province this past week and Leamington was one of them. Leamington participated in CASA’s BeGrainSafe program last fall.

The R-E-S-Q-TUBE is used in rescues on farms where a person gets caught inside a grain bin or trailer. It is accompanied by a pencil auger.

Leamington fire had one such emergency last fall when a young girl fell into

a wagon full of freshly harvested corn and quickly sank up to her neck.

“You don’t realize how powerful grain is until you’ve been stuck in it,” said Leamington fire Chief Andrew Baird.

“It’s like quicksand.”

Pioneer Hybrid is the seed division of Corteva and they had two repesentatives on hand for the presentation.

The tube disassembles into pieces and quickly re-assembles for ease of use. The idea behind it is that rescue crews can insert the tube over the spot where the person is stuck, which creates a barrier and keeps any further grain from caving in the on the person. The Haul-All pencil auger is then used to gradually suck out the grain and free the patient.

LEAMINGTON — The Migrant Worker Community Program (MWCP) has been hard at work educating and distributing masks to migrant workers for weeks now. They received a sizeable donation of masks from CONQUER COVID-19, a Toronto-based group, who donated 1.2 million masks and PPE to local hospitals and programs. MP for Windsor-Tecumseh, Irek Kazmercyk, made the arrangements for this donation to happen. MWCP has now distributed over 4000 masks to local businesses and individuals.

In the top photo, from left, MWCP Chair Martin Varela, Pastor Saul Antonio Hernandez and Deacon John Vezina help to pile cases of masks into a storage container for future use. In the bottom photo, staff members of MWCP hand out masks on Erie street in Leamington.

Arrest leads to drug charges C H AT H A M - K E N T — Around 3:30 a.m. on Monday, August 10, Chatham-Kent Police responded to the report of a suspicious person in the backyard of a residence on Talbot Trail.

Officers located a man sleeping inside a small hut on the property.

Through investigation, police learned that the man was currently bound by conditions not to leave his residence.

The man was arrested and upon being searched, was found to be in possession of crystal methamphetamine, even though he was also on conditions

not to possess any illicit drugs.

The 24-year-old Kingsville man has been charged with two counts of failing to comply with his release conditions and drug possession. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.

Thief caught in the act LEAMINGTON — The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested and charged a Leamington woman with multiple property offences in the municipality.

On August 4 at approximately 1:30 a.m., uniformed officers conducting proactive patrols, arrested a woman on Cheyenne Court, caught

breaking into a vehicle.

The same individual has been charged with property-related offences on several other occasions in recent weeks, each time involving thefts from unlocked vehicles.

The 29-year-old remains in custody pending a bail hearing charged with more than 20 criminal property and bail vio-

lation offences.

The OPP is reminding Leamington residents to lock their car doors, remove all valuables visible inside the vehicle and close their garage doors.

Leamington officers recently reported observing seven garage doors left open in one subdivision during an overnight patrol.

Letter to Editor

Work together to defeat virus Dear Editor: As great as is Karen Driedger’s disappointment at the responses to Helena Thiessen’s letter defending her refusal to wear face masks, my disappointment is even greater, and my anger is definitely so.

There is much glib throwing around of words like communism, socialism, and the like. The fact is, we live in a democracy, a democracy that respects science.

The scientific consensus is that masks inhibit the movement of water droplets from our mouths to those of others.

There will always be outliers who deny the consensus, who blame the pandem-

ic on fantasies about demon lovers and the like. The consensus is what we live with. We accept the consensus that we should pick up the poop from our dogs.

That we not burn tires in our backyards.

And now, for the time being, we also accept to arrest the breathing of our water droplets into the indoor spaces where others breathe.

Enough hysteria about communism, fascism and socialism. Just be a citizen, for goodness sake. Let us defeat this virus, together.

Sincerely, Rick Taves Wheatley

Letter to Editor

Beatles column brought back memories Dear Editor: As an amateur Beatleologist, who’s followed the four boys from Liverpool since the sixties and even travelled to Liverpool twice over the years and read nearly a hundred books and maybe half as many magazines pertaining to them - along with also collecting and listening to almost every Beatles and solo-Beatles records and cd’s ever made, I thoroughly enjoy reading articles, reviews and stories written by anyone who has been touched or inspired by the Fab Four.

So, to say I was pleased by Mark Ribble’s editorial, ‘Ode to The Beatles’ last week in the Southpoint Sun, would be an understatement. Mark’s recollection of first hearing the Beatles “She Loves You” and how excited he was every time he heard it then very much mirrors the same reaction I had when I first heard that same song over and over some 240 miles away in the town of Richmond Hill on 1050 CHUM Radio on a Sunday morning in mid-January of 1964.

Wayne Martin, one of my friends who lived two doors away from me saw the Beatles first appearance before any of us did late at night on the Jack Parr Show.

That was in early January while most of us were in bed. I was envious of him but didn’t really know what he was talking about until a week later when I turned on the radio on a Sunday morning and boom!!! I heard it! “She loves you yeah yeah yeah!” Wow! it just blew me away.

What a dynamic blast of sound and energy that was!

All 2 minutes and 15

seconds of it.

I was only 11 years old but I was crazy for that song. So, the next day after school, Wayne and I and my friend Steve Fifield from across the street all went down to “Heritage Radio” where that record was sold out. But I did manage to pick up a blue coloured CHUM Chart that had these four guys all crowded together with long hair on the front cover with collarless suits on. How cool is that? Especially the best looking guy (the one named Paul) who was on the left side with a cigarette sticking out between his fingers. Different times then.

Anyhow, it was exciting times and three weeks later, less a day, on Sunday night, February 9th, they were on the Ed Sullivan Show. And my dad, mom, brother Rick and I sat there and watched the Beatles open the show and later close it. And the rest is history. Some 73 million people watched that TV show – which I read later was 38% of the entire U.S. population – to witness what was said to be the biggest phenomenon of the 20th century – well, maybe, except for the Moon Walk in 1969.

And today, in case you haven’t heard, the now 78-year old Paul McCartney is still making new music and rocking out at arenas and concert halls (or was until March of this year) and has just had one of his longest magazine interviews ever printed in the latest publication of GQ. Rock on Paul!

Sincerely, Paul Bunnett-Jones

What’s your level of comfort?

As with anything in life, we all have our own comfort level when it comes to this whole COVID-19 situation.

I know people who are going about their business as usual and I also know people who have shut themselves up in their home, pretty much Mark Ribble becoming hermits in the process.

I’m probably in the middle somewhere.

We go out to get takeout, go for a ride, or stop for driveway visits with family and friends. It’s something we are comfortable doing.

For work, I have to put myself out in the community as much as I safely can.

I’ve been out taking pictures, talking to people and generally getting a feel of the communities we serve as your local newspaper.

Sometimes, I’m comfortable when I’m out and sometimes I’m not.

I arrived to take a photo one evening last week and two people reached out to shake my hand. After all this time, not shaking anyone’s hand in months, I instinctively shook their hands and promptly went back to my car and sanitized like Howie Mandel.

In our family, we have two ‘schools of thought’ on that subject.

Two grandchildren are preparing to attend school while the other two are staying home.

I don’t believe anyone is right or wrong here. Everyone has different circumstances and certainly different levels of comfort with that. I just want them all to be safe and healthy and I don’t want to lose out on seeing them for a whole school year, because that would be tough to take.

As September approaches, we are going on six months being subjected to a life we never thought possible.

I wonder what the next six months will bring.

Catholic School Board outlines return-to-school plan

By Ron Giofu AMHERSTBURG — One day after unveiling its return-to-school plan to trustees and the public via an online meeting, the Windsor-Essex Catholic District Board (WECDSB) gave the media a chance to get an in-person look at what is being proposed.

Board officials, including principals, showed what is being planned during stops at St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School and St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School last Thursday morning.

Communications co-or-

dinator Stephen Fields emphasized a point that was made the previous evening, that it is a “risk reduction” plan that is very fluid.

In the case of secondary schools, particularly those as large as St. Thomas of Villanova, the student population will be split in two and the students will be placed into cohorts of roughly 15 students apiece. Students in cohorts A and B will rotate when they go to the building over the first two “quadmesters” with the rotation allowing each cohort to attend

Desks at St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School are labelled “1” or “2” to help students know where to sit. Periods 1 and 2 only will take place in the first of four mini-semesters (or “quadmesters”) at Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board secondary schools with students being divided into cohorts of 15 students each.

school during five days over each two-week period.

St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School has an enrolment of approximately 1,200 students with about 600 to be in the building at any one time. Masks will be mandatory.

“There will be enhanced cleaning measures between the two cohorts,” said superintendent Emelda Byrne. “The rationale for cohorting is to be able to facilitate contact tracing among the students in the two periods.”

Semesters will be broken up with the first going from Sept. 8-Nov. 11 and the second being from Nov. 12-Feb. 1. There will be two periods per day and while the periods are expected to be longer than normal, it is unclear how long as details have to be hammered out with other school boards due to the sharing of student transportation.

Other details to be hammered out include whether or not there will be online learning the days students are not physically in the buildings. More information is expected on that after the WECDSB conducts a survey on how many students will return to school and how many opt out and learn from home.

Byrne indicated with only two periods, there will be less transition between classes and less contact between students.

Villanova principal Amy Facchineri indicated there will be only a cer-

tain number of students allowed in a washroom at a time. Water fountains with water bottle refill stations will be used but the actual mouthpiece will be closed off. Students and staff will also be encouraged to use sinks within classrooms to wash their hands.

“There will be enhanced cleaning measures between the two cohorts.”

— Emelda Byrne Hand sanitizer will also be available throughout the schools, including some stationed in the middle of hallways. Students will also be told to stay to the right of each hallway and proceed in the direction that arrows point them, with the arrows posted on lockers.

The lockers themselves will not be used and students will bring their supplies and jackets to class with them, though backpacks will be allowed into classrooms.

Desks in classrooms will be marked “A” and “B” with students in the cohorts to be allowed to use the desks marked for them only.

“We do need to get students back to school not only from an academic perspective but from a mental health perspective,” added Byrne.

Cafeterias and auditoriums will not be used for their standard purposes,

but principals will have the flexibility to utilize the space should students need to be placed there during spares or for other reasons. Students will be required to physically distance where possible.

There will also be a room in the school for isolation, should a student or staff member show symptoms of having COVID-19. Students will be sent home as quickly as possible and if more than one student, teacher or staff member has symptoms, the WECDSB will work with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit on how to proceed.

At the secondary level, it still has to be determined whether there will be nutritional breaks or a lunch period though food is expected to be consumed in whatever classroom the student is in at the time.

Superintendent Melissa Farrand and principal Linda DiPasquale outlined what will happen at the elementary level, including desks one metre apart, recesses at different times to stagger how many children are at recess at any one time and removal of carpets and the rearranging of re-

sources by colour to help students understand and stay physically distanced.

“Teachers are creative by nature so they will come up with different ways to support physical distancing,” said DiPasquale.

DiPasquale said they still plan on offering a nurturing, loving environment to students. She indicated while there will obviously be classroom learning, they hope to do learning outdoors as well as St. Joseph is lucky enough to have ample playground space.

“We are going to try and do as much outdoor learning as possible,” she said.

Mixing of cohorts will be discouraged and parents will have a checklist to complete to ensure students are screened daily, Farrand added.

Students in JK through Grade 3 will be encouraged to wear masks while mask wearing will be mandatory for students in Grades 4-8. Enhanced cleaning will also occur with hand sanitizer also readily available at the elementary level.

“We’re doing everything we can,” said DiPasquale.

Dick, John H. John H. Dick passed away in his 99th year in his room at the Leamington Mennonite home on the 7th of August, 2020. His wife of 75 years, Helen, was at his side and daughter Sharon was playing the harp. Music was always important to Dad! Dad is survived by his wife (Helen) and children, Ern (Nancy deceased) in Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia, Marlene Neufeld (Bob) in Ottawa , Edward (Vanessa) in Denver, Ken (Catherine) in Ottawa and Sharon Johnston (Bill deceased) in Goderich. John H. Dick was predeceased by brothers, Henry, William and Pete and by his parents John and Maria Dick. Dad has grandchildren and great-grandchildren far and near - and was always fully engaged in following their adventures and hearing of their accomplishments.

John Dick was born on the 26th of December 1921 in Alexanderkron, Russia - the son of John and Maria Dick and the oldest of four boys. During a time of unrest and anarchy in Russia, the Dick family immigrated to Canada in 1924. They first settled in Waterloo County and soon moved to Essex County where they worked on farms in the Leamington area to establish themselves and pay back their travel debt.

John always enjoyed school, but due to his mother’s illness he often stayed home to help. At the age of 12 John was through with school but pursued further education for the rest of his life. Indeed, he made sure his own children had the opportunity to follow their educational pursuits.

In 1941 upon confession of his faith Dad joined the Leamington Mennonite Church on Oak Street. In 1942 John went on Alternative Service to work at the Montreal River camp helping to build the trans-Canada Highway - and he always recalled this experience with positive memories.

In 1945 John married his sweetheart, Helen Bergen and they soon bought a farm on the 6th concession - that Dad added to over the years. The first buildings were rundown without electricity or indoor plumbing but with hope, dreams, trust in God and hard work they developed a successful fruit and vegetable farm. They grew a wide variety of crops depending on the demands of the time and the age of their children - and eventually came to call their farm SANDY ACRES. John always read anything and everything - and was always interested in community affairs. He served on school boards with Mersea Township, United Mennonite Educational Institute and Conrad Grebel College at the University of Waterloo. He was a long-time member and reeve with Mersea Township Council and eventually served on Essex County Council. John was a great supporter of Mennonite Central Committee that had brought his family to Canada, first as auctioneer with relief sales and moved on to being heavily involved with the self-help EtCetera Shop in Leamington helping out with whatever tasks were required well into his 80’s.

John and Helen had time to explore when the children left home and they travelled to Texas, California, Europe, South America and to the Ukraine. They particularly enjoyed visiting their children and grand-children in their homes throughout North America and derived great satisfaction in following their varied careers.

After 53 years on their farm, John and Helen moved to Pickwick Ave in Leamington where Dad finally had time to play as much as golf that he always enjoyed into his early 90’s.

Eventually they moved to Leamington Mennonite Home where Dad continued his passion for getting out for a daily walk or drive. He especially enjoyed revisiting and viewing the progress on the 6th concession.

John Dick thrived on serving his community and enjoying fresh air. The unavoidable Covid lockdown isolated him and his last few months were particularly difficult - and we are convinced that he has found a place of great peace now.

Erie Shores HealthCare relaxes visitor restrictions LEAMINGTON — After several weeks of changes due to community spread of COVID-19, Erie Shores HealthCare (ESHC) is ramping up their services and relaxing their visitor policy once again.

ESHC has collaborated with regional partners to create a plan that increases non-pandemic services in a staged process.

Family members of patients will select one essential visitor that will choose one time block to visit the patient each day.

They will have a choice of 11am to 1pm or 4pm to 6pm as their time block choices.

The designated family member will remain as such for the duration of the patient’s stay at the hospital. They must be registered by the patient’s clinical unit. Visitors will be required to answer screening questions at the main entrance prior to entering the hospital. If they fail

the screening, they will not be allowed entry. No children under the age of 18 will be allowed to visit.

All visitors must wear a surgical/procedural or cloth mask and/or additional PPE as required. They will be restricted to the patient’s room and have no access to common areas.

Members of spiritual care are allowed into the facility to visit palliative patients.

In the Emergency Department, a patient who is at imminent risk of dying may have a loved one present with them during the E.D. stay. Patients with cognitive or mobility difficulties may be accompanied by one person during their time in the Emergency Department. Pediatric patients in the E.D. are permitted to be accompanied by one adult family member.

The Food Bank has served the community for almost 30 years.

The Food Bank has gone through some changes over the years, but the message has always been the same — they are there to help the community.

With two important volunteers retiring recently, Susan Fulmer, the administrative volunteer for the food bank, is carrying on the tradition of helping people in Wheatley who may be in need.

“We’re always happy to help,” she said.

As for those who are leaving, they

wanted to let the community know that they appreciate the support that the food bank has had over the years and hope that Wheatley remains as supportive going forward.

Fulmer says the food bank is always looking for donations of non-perishables.

“We are open every Tuesday morning from 9:30 to 11:30,” she said.

During those times, people can come and pick up whatever they need from the food bank’s shelves at the Baptist Church on Talbot Street East.

Chatham-Kent Council passes mask by-law CHATHAM — Chatham-Kent Council voted Monday night to make masks mandatory in the municipality.

After weeks of Chatham-Kent being in Stage 3 of the province’s plan to reopen the economy, council saw the rise in cases within the municipality and a motion was made to mandate masks as they are in Windsor-Essex.

The motion calls for masks to be worn in indoor public places where social distancing can’t be followed.

Up until now, Chatham-Kent had bucked the trend of mandating masks, but they now join most other municipalities across the province in doing so.

The motion passed by a vote of 11-6.

Councillors Authier, Ceccacci, Crew, Hall, Harrigan, Kirkwood-Whyte, B. McGregor, C. McGregor, Sulman and Thompson, along with Mayor Canniff, voted to pass the motion.

Councillors Faas, Finn, Latimer, Mc-

Grail, Pinsonneault and Wright voted against. Councillor Bondy was not present. the bylaw will include restaurants, cafés, cafeterias, banquet halls, retail establishments and shopping malls. also included are churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other places of worship.

Libraries, museums, art galleries, recreational facilities, bingo halls, cinemas, theatres, concert venues, special event venues, convention centres, or other similar entertainment, cultural, or leisure facilities are included in the bylaw.

Sports facilities, sports clubs, gyms, yoga studios, dance studios, and stadiums, plus hotels, motels, and shortterm rental premises will require mask use.

For a full list, visit their website at chatham-kent.ca

1913 Studebaker reunion THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

An email arrived from Scott Holland (a.k.a. “Mr. Leamington”) It said, “Bill — I ran across a neat historical reference for you. On Bill Sherk July 1, 1913 here in Leamington, the 2nd Annual Studebakers Reunion was held at Seacliff Park. There were over 200 Studebaker cars that showed up and of that number, ten were considered local (Essex County).”

The one pictured here was almost certainly on display that day 107 years ago. It’s a 1913 Studebaker touring car now on display at the Canadian Transportation Museum at Heritage Village near Kingsville.

It was donated by Gerald Scratch, who was a Studebaker dealer in Leamington in the 1950s. He found the car many years earlier somewhere east of town and displayed it in his showroom. That’s where I saw it and he offered me a free ride right through town!

Wednesday, August 12, 2020

The car bounced around compared to modern cars, and you had the feeling you were sitting high up on the car instead of in it. We waved to everyone and they waved back.

It was undoubtedly built at the Studebaker factory in nearby Windsor, Ontario. The car took its name from Henry and Clem Studebaker of South Bend, Indiana, who began building covered wagons in 1852 to cash in on the westward tide of settlement following the California gold rush of 1849.

Fifty years after they built their first covered wagon, the Studebaker Company built their first motorized vehicle. Production continued until 1966 at their plant in Hamilton, Ontario, where they built the last Studebaker, a victim of competition from the Big Three.

When our feature car was built in 1913, exciting things were happening in the automotive field. One year earlier, Cadillac brought out the world’s first successful electric starter motor. No more hand-cranking with broken arms!

Electric headlights were starting to replace the old headlamps with a wick inside that had to be lit by hand.

And during 1913, Henry Ford was busy putting together his assembly line to build cars faster than anyone else. By 1919, half of all the cars in the world were Model T Fords!

Thank you, Scott Holland, for inspiring this column!

I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca.

IN MEMORIAM

In Memory of a Loving Dad/Grandpa who passed away 9 years ago on August 10th.

My Dad...

A father’s touch, a Daddy’s kiss, A greiving Daughter, the Dad I will always miss.

An empty house, an empty chair, A father’s love, no longer there.

A broken heart, a tear filled eye, Another soul in the sky.

The times we shared, the laughs we had.

Things I miss when I think of My Dad.

We miss you every day and love you with all our hearts.

Love, Shelley, Brandon, Troy, Tracy, Jeff, Brett and Matthew

IN MEMORIAM

Larry White

In memory of a loving husband who passed away 9 years ago August 10th.

Sometimes I just sit quietly reflecting for a while Imagining your voice, your face, your warm and loving smile.

For it’s so lovely to recall the happy times we had When you played such a special roll as both Husband and Dad. And at this very special time I only wish you knew That I’d give all the world today for one more hour with you.

But I still have my memories and since we’ve been apart It comforts me so much to know that you’re right here in my heart.

Hon, I’ve loved you since we met.

Always have and always will.

Love, your wife Shirley

Dear Editor: In the mask debate, Ms. Driedger is guilty of reading medical literature the way the devil reads the bible — only using parts that support one’s viewpoint and ignoring the rest.

Her quoted anti-mask study was in Qeios, which is an open-access (non-peer reviewed) online forum, not a medical journal. The authors actually stated in their discussion that the “RCTs (randomized controlled trial) and observational studies provided evidence of a small and large effect, respectively.”

Ms. Driedger quoted anti-mask results in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

That same edition emphasizes that we exercise an important concept known as the ‘Precautionary Principal’. We should sometimes act without definite evidence, just in case.

BMJ states, “As with parachutes (for jumping out of planes), it is time to act without waiting for randomized controlled trial evidence.”

Ms. Marchand is correct that the 6/29 letter ad-

dresses old data and there is no flip-flopping.

The CDC now states “that people wear masks in public and when around people who don’t live in your household.”

COVID-19 is unique because we can be infectious without symptoms.

In a truly caring society, ALL would voluntarily wear masks, without government mandate, out of a desire to protect each other. Refusing to wear a mask does not make you rebellious or smart — it just makes you selfish.

Ms. Thiessen wrote about suicide. Studies warn of potential increases but no medical evidence of actual “drastic increases” exist.

She is using fear to make a point — not science. She states that “God will be on the side of the oppressed”.

Wearing masks is hardly oppression. A fundamental tenet of humankind is to do right by our fellow citizens. The concept behind me wearing a mask is to guard against infecting others.

I think God will appreciate my effort.

Sincerely, Greg McIntosh

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A business associate or romantic partner may make a play for more power this week, Aries. Instead of playing defense, see what happens if you cede some control.

Now might be the time to take a brief step back and enjoy the respite.

Sports flashback from 1986 This week’s flashback takes us back to August 1986.

CHARKO WINS JR. GOLF TITLE Jeff Charko won the annual Junior Golf Championship at Talbot Trail with a fine 73. Greg Dawson finished second at 76, with third place going to Derek Brown, who shot an 84. In the Junior division, Rob Gillespie had low honours with an 81, followed

by Brad Hyatt, who shot 84. The Bantam division was a tight battle, with Jim Dobson shooting a sizzling 85, followed by Jeff Ruiter, Ken Wigfield and Marc Brown, all at 86.

WHEATLEY SWIMMERS CAPTURE SIX MEDALS The Wheatley Swim Team travelled to Tilbury on the weekend and placed fourth overall out of eight teams. Aimee-Sue Omstead brought home a gold medal for the 9-10 year old girls, while Katie Vanderbeek captured the silver. Melyse McLean took the gold in the eight-and-under girls. Jenny Omstead won bronze in the same category. Aaron Matthews and Ryan Pearson finished one-two in the boys 9-10 age group. The girls relay team bested them all, with contributions from Jenny Omstead, Andrea Pearson, Brooke Omstead and Melyse McLean.

PACKERS OUTLAST KINGSVILLE The Leamington P-459 Packers outlasted Kingsville 13-11 in Tyke exhibition baseball play at the Kinsmen Sports Field. The Packers were outhit 12-9 but took better advantage of their scoring opportunrities, building a 6-0 lead after three innings. John Carson, Troy Zeray, Mike Raffoul and Mike Impens all pitched for Leamington, striking out 11 and walking five. Kingsville employed three pitchers in Matschulat, Warkentin and Heaton. Raffoul sparked Leamington with a double and two singles.

BANTAMS LOST FIRST PLAYOFF GAME The Leamington Kinsmen Bantams lost the first game of their OBA playoff series to Riverside on Sunday. Down 6-4 in their final at bat, Leamington managed to score a run but left the tying run stranded on third base. Matt Derksen took the loss on the mound. Jason Wuerch and Darren McCarty had a pair of hits and Kevin Clark slammed a triple.

FLOOR HOCKEY TEAM WINS GOLD The Sun Parlour Sports Association Floor Hockey team won the gold medal at the Special Olympics held in Calgary. The all-boys team played four games from July 15-20, beating Nova Scotia 5-1, Manitoba 6-1 and Alberta 6-0. Then they beat Saskatchewan in the finals by a 4-0 score. Local players, Ben Tickle, Paul Rodrigues, Mark Garraway, Paul Janisse and Alfonso Labonte, all played a big role in bringing home the gold.

The 1983 OBA Tyke ‘A’ champions from Leamington were, back row: Piero Ingratta, Matt Derksen, Steve Cziraky, Marc Brown, Scott McGregor, manager Jake Unger, coach Craig McCarty and Bob (Gramps) Kirk.

Slam Clarkson 23-7

P-459 Tykes undefeated for Ontario crown in 1983 ‘A’ tourney

By C. Scott Holland LEAMINGTON — The 1983 Ontario Baseball Association championship was decided on Leamington soil, as the Leamington P-459 Tykes rolled to their third straight OBA title. Playing in a double knockout format, Leamington won three straight in the tournament to advance to the final, where they demolished Clarkson 23-7.

The local team dominated by pounding out 54 hits in four games and outscoring their opposition 5514. The Leamington pitching staff yielded only 15 singles.

The locals started with an impressive 12-0 shutout over St. Thomas, then topped Welland 14-6.

The third game was a battle of two unbeaten teams — Leamington and North Bay. Leamington’s

In the opening match, Jason Leili was aided by some spectacular fielding to earn the shutout over St. Thomas. Right fielder Columbo Ciotoli flagged down four fly balls, including making two diving catches to preserve Leili’s shutout.

The second game wasn’t close as Leamington vaulted to an 8-0 lead.

Welland scored four runs on Leamington errors late in the game. Matt Derksen and Chris Sleiman shared the mound duties.

Steve Cziraky hit a triple off the top of the fence that missed being a homerun by just inches.

In the battle with North Bay, Piero Ingratta and Matt Derksen combined on the mound to sty-

mie North Bay, allowing only two hits. With the victory, undefeated Leamington received a bye into the championship contest on Sunday.

The match-up for the OBA Tyke ‘A’ crown was against Clarkson and despite spotting Clarkson a four-run lead in the first frame, P-459 displayed their offensive prowess and ran rampant to gain a 23-6 victory. It started with a sixrun second and the locals never looked back.

Leamington catcher Darren McCarty batted .706, going 12 for 17 and scoring 10 runs in the four games. In the final, he had a triple and a three-run homer. During the final, he also picked off two runners - one heading to second and another going into third. McCarty was named the tournament’s MVP.

Senior Hockey League created over 40 years ago

by C. Scott Holland In the summer of 1978, a hockey league was created for players who were no longer eligible to play in minor systems or competitive Junior leagues. At the time, director and one of the organizers, Harold Puyda, stated, “It is designed to offer recreational hockey for players who are unable to participate in other competitive leagues.”

The league began with six teams with local sponsorship, 15 players on each team including a goaltender, and a cost of $25 to play. It had been hoped to attract more than 90 players so there would be spares in case of serious injuries. Those replacement players were soon needed as work transfers and shift work sidelined some members.

butt-ending. As well, anyone receiving three minor penalty infractions is handed a game misconduct.

In the 40-plus years of its existence, the player with the most years played is Bill Baird. Bill laced his skates up for 35 seasons and even got to play a few with his son Matt.

Mark Matheson is not far behind and probably would hold the record if he had not been out of the area for several years.

The major change besides the venue and the cost, is the fact there are no longer any actual coaches, although at times injured players take over the bench and door duties. Tribute definitely goes to longtime former player and coach John Hammond, who is the winningest playoff coach in the league’s history and except for nights when fire call duty summoned him away, he handled the coaching with a flourish.

Other legends in the early days included Murray Setterington, and Willie ‘The Fog’ Pimiskern.

As it was in the beginning, there are still six teams but with six different sponsorships. The original Leamington areKevin Gale was a player and president of the na is long gone but the Leamington Senior Men’s league has played mainly Hockey League for over 15 on the Highbury Canseasons. co (Olympic-sized) rink since 2000 and has added a championship game, plus a website and playoff trophy.

While play for the 2020/21 season is undecided as of yet, anyone wishing to play or get on the waiting list can contact Andy Anthony at: aanthony@peleelighthouse.ca. Anyone wishing to check out its website can do so at: www. hometeamsonline.com

Murray Setterington was its first president while Bud Hillman, Brian Plumb, Kent Williams, Dave Pilmer, Brian Brown and Harold Puyda comprised its first board of directors.

In its last 20 years, the league’s stability has centered around its solid leadership with people like Kevin Gale, Pat Sonoski and Andy Anthony ensuring its membership and quality remain high, while sticking to many of the original rules set down by its founders.

Among its original rules, many of which have remained, been amended or added to since the founding, are the primary ones of no body checking, no slapshots and indefinite suspensions for major infractions such as fighting, spearing or

Letter to Editor

Southpoint Alumni Classic attracts 136 golfers Dear Editor: The Southpoint Alumni Group held their 9th annual golf tournament at Erie Shores Golf and Country Club Wednesday, July 22.

Great weather greeted the most-ever turn out of 136 golfers for the scramble format. We were able to gain a major tournament sponsor this year with Universal Fabricating coming on board. Thank you for your support.

This year with the COVID virus, we had to tee off in groups of 4 and used tee times instead of a shotgun start.

The course was in perfect shape. The winning team of Ryan Harder, Nick Warkentin, Joe Moavro, and Pat Michaud shot a score of 54 which was 17 under par.

A close second was Ward Hutchins, Brian Humpherys, Tim Tiessen, and Ken Piper at -16.

The low mixed group was Neil Sawatzky, Lisa Sawatzky, Wayne Pare, and Debbie Pare at -6. The low ladies group was Christine Hutchins, Melissa Schaffhauser, Nicole Ferreira, and Kalee Wright at +8.

There were 4 skins paid out for an eagle on #15, eagle on #12, eagle on #10, and an eagle on #6 — each worth $170.

If there is a hockey season this year, the Alumni Group will use the proceeds from this event to help first year hockey players any age in the Southpoint Minor Hockey system to offset the cost of their registration.

Last year we helped 50 kids with a total of $10,000.

Also, again this year, we will be supporting the first year referees to help offset their cost of starting up.

We will also be helping the system with clinics for the house league this coming season.

Thank you to all of the hole sponsors for your continued support. Special thanks to Jose’s Bar and Grill and Rays Ribhouse, who sponsored our tee gifts with gift certificates. Thanks to Ryan and his staff for organizing everything. Thanks to Lianne at the shack. Special thanks to the volunteers who watched our hole-in-one holes, as it was a long day for them, and the golfers who made this a very successful day.

See you all again in July next year.

7 Years Old - Male Hi, I’m SJ! I’m a 7 Year old Domestic Short Hair! I Used to have a home that I loved, But you see my owner was moving somewhere where I would then need to share my space with other animals so they decide it just wasn’t best for me. I’m more suited for a home where I’m the only animal! I’m also not a fan of kids as there are some spots that I don’t like to be touched by others and they just don’t seem to understand that sometimes. I’m also on the shy side, I may take some time to get comfortable with my new home and best friend..so please be patient with me! I promise I will be the best companion for you once I’ve taken the time to make sure I’m comfortable with all these changes. Also, Did I mention that I LOVE to play?? Because boy do I ever..especially with you and my toys!

Erie Shores Thursday Night League

By Paul Bunnett-Jones It was a perfect day for golf with just the right mix of sun and clouds, a small breeze and temperatures fluctuating around 24 Celsius last week in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores.

In fact, it was hard to work up a sweat unless, of course, you were Derek Horop who accomplished the incredibly rare feat of being the low net handicap shooter of the day for the second week in a row. After firing an amazing low net round of 12 under par 24 last week, Derek cooled off just a bit with his newly adjusted handicap to still lead all 99 players with an impressive low net seven-under-par 29.

Standing alone in second place with a six-under-par net 30 was Tim Vreman who was two strokes better than the net 32s scored by a group of eight players that included Wheaton Mouck, Brian Ford, Ryan Peltier, George Bergen, Mauro Paglione, Dylan Bekaan, Joe Schnekenburger and Adam Wiens.

Over on the gross side with

straight up scores, Ryan Peltier and Wheaton Mouck tied for low with impressive one-under-par rounds of 35 while Ken Cobby, Ward Hutchins and Adam Wiens were only one shot back with even par games of 36. Among the seven golfers who all finished with oneover-par rounds of 37 were Kevin Sawatzky, Steve Georges, Van Tan, Mike McKinnon, Kyle Humphreys, Don Gemmell and Joe Schnekenburger.

In the skins competition, there were only four winners. In the gross division, the two birdie skins went to Kyle Humphreys, getting a four on the 10th hole and Derek Dimenna, scoring a two on the 13th hole. Naturally in the handicapped skins, Derek Horop got one for his net-eagle two on the 11th hole while Jerry Meloche also bagged a skin with his net-eagle 1 on the 16th.

With his latest skin, Derek Horop has also taken over first place in the skins leaders with a total of $78, with smooth-hitting left-hander Neil Sawatzky close behind with $75. Ward Hutchins is next at $56

while Hayden Hodgson is in fourth spot with $52. Phil Cornies is alone in fifth place at $48 and Derek Dimenna, Kevin Babkirk, Wayne Gillett, Lucas Raffoul and Greg Dunmore are all tied for sixth place with $45 apiece.

In the team competition, there has been a major overhaul in the standings with The Cinderella Story jumping up two spots to take over first place with 139 points.

Mulligan Island leap-frogged four spots to move into second place with 137 points, while the Foot Wedge Crew dropped to third place with 136 points and Complete & Putter Madness remains in fourth spot tied with The Bogey Men with 130 points each. Par Then Bar has moved up to sixth place with 126 points while Fringe Players are next at 118 points.

By Bob McLean On a beautiful Tuesday, August 4, there were 62 enthusiastic participants.

The closest to the pin on #9 was won by Carl Robinson, whose fantastic shot was a mere five feet away. The long putt winner on #2 is a mystery. Please record these on the cards.

In the under-70 division, we had a new leader as Randy Nash fired an outstanding 38 to lead the way.

Both Fuzzy and Joe Drummond finished with excellent 40s. Herb Reid and Fred Michano scored impressive 41 and 42 respectively. Phil Humphries and Arkey earned solid 43s. Nick Peters achieved a superb

45. A noteworthy nifty fifty went to Art Regehr.

In the 70-79 year grouping, Dutchy maintained a firm hold on top spot by shooting a sensational 37. BW and Pearcie also played brilliantly, scoring 41s. Praiseworthy 43s were shot by Chopper and Larry Hyatt. Both Bummy and Ian Quirk came in with very commendable 44s. A solid 45 was shot by Paul Harrison.

Our 80-85 year division was led

by Vic Reynaert who shot a superb 46. Joe Vrtel and Terry Bee produced very praiseworthy results of 47 and 49 respectively. Both Neil Adamson and Walter Balsam scored noteworthy nifty fifty results. Ed Woelk,

Ken Womack, Andy Orsini, Conrad Babkirk and Bill Edwards earned satisfying scores.

In our super “Silver” grouping, Tom Hyatt continued to play inspiring golf. Today he fired an excellent 44. Bob Freure played very well and shot a 51.

In the “Gold” section, Carl Robinson was the leader with an outstanding 45. Dave La Bonte continued his terrific play by firing a 47.

Other very commendable results: Gerry Becigneul 49; Scotty Westrop (nifty fifty); Erle Nash 51; Murray Cacadden 52.

Have you noticed? The ball always ends up where the pin was yesterday.

Jamieson Tour at Erie Shores

As has been the case in most years at Erie Shores, the small and undulating green complexes, coupled with the tree-lined fairways made for challenging scoring conditions for tour players last week.

In the Junior Girls’ Division, Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) took home her first victory of the season with an even-par 71. Charlebois carded three birdies on the front-nine for two-under par 33, and paired that with a 38 on the back nine. In second place was Karolyn Rombouts (Maple City) with a 78, and Kennedy Fremlin (Essex) was third with a 79.

In the Collegiate Womens’ Division, there was a tie at the top of the leaderboard, with Gioia DiCiocco (Erie Shores) and Hannah Prieur (Kingsville) both shooting scores of 85. As part of the COVID-19 policies for the tour this year, there are no playoffs to determine a winner, making DiCiocco and Prieur co-champions for the event. Erin Kopinak (Delaware State/Willow Ridge) was third with an 87.

In the Junior Boys’ Division, Tyler Hurtubise (Pointe West) continued his hot streak with his third straight victory, and third straight score of 70. Hurtubise recorded four birdies on the day, including three on the front nine, where he shot a one-under par 34. In second place was Rylan Marontate (Kingsville) with a score of 72, and three players tied for third at 73 (Cale Marontate, Stefano Kerr, Jax Sisson).

In the Collegiate Mens’ Division, there was a three-way tie for first place, with Owen Dorssers (Guelph Griffons/Willow Ridge), Mathew Hawryluk (Wayne State Warriors/Maple City), and James Hill (Detroit Mercy Titans/Essex), all firing one-under par 70. The Jamieson Junior Tour was back in action on Monday, August 10 at Beach Grove Golf and Country Club.
