By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Windsor-Essex officials are hoping it is not needed, but they have planned a 50-bed isolation unit at the newly named Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre, in the rink formerly known as Heinz Arena. Working through the Ontario Ministry of Health, local volunteers and officials erected the 50 pop-up units on the main arena floor. The units were provided courtesy of Bruce Power, the electricity provider in Bruce County. “We would like to thank Bruce Power for the very generous donation of isolation pods,” said Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “This proactive measure will provide additional isolation space should the need arise, as we continue to combat COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex. A municipality our size cannot do this on our own, and it is reassuring to know we have partners like Bruce Power coming to the aid of our community.” MacDonald also credited Bruce Krauter, Chief of Essex-Windsor EMS, who facilitated the isolation units. Krauter organized a number of volunteers from the community, who erected the pods last weekend. Each unit will have a brand new roll-away bed and mattress, along with table, chair and linens. The arena will be set up to allow those isolated to move freely within the arena itself, utilizing the Kinsmen canteen for television, wi-fi and to eat meals, which will be catered in. The federal government has agreed to foot the bill for the isolation centre, but MacDonald hopes it doesn’t come to that. “It’s there if we need it,” she said. “But we really hope we don’t need it.” MacDonald explained that the isolation units will be for close contacts of those who have tested positive. “It’s not a field hospital,” she said. The plan is to have some medical personnel on staff to monitor the ‘residents’, and isolate them further if someone falls ill. There will also be security on hand to oversee the operation. So far, area hotels are handling the influx of positive cases and close contacts from the farms, with the help of the local partners, Canadian Red Cross and Emergency Management Ontario.

Local officials provide update on agri-food workers By Mark Ribble ESSEX COUNTY — It appears that municipal leaders throughout the region are all on the same page when it comes to the battle against COVID-19 in the agri-farm sector. In a Zoom meeting held to update the media on the situation with the agrifood workers on Friday, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens was joined by Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos, Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald and Essex County Warden Gary McNamara, as well as Erie Shores HealthCare acting CEO Dr. Ross Moncur and President and CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital, David Musyj. The panel discussed the situation on the farms, the ongoing testing efforts and the possibility of needing additional accommodation for positive cases to isolate. They all agreed on one thing — the upper levels of government must step
up and take charge of the situation. “The testing is slow and steady,” said Mayor MacDonald. “The province needs to up its game and provide incentives for getting tested.” By incentives, Mayor MacDonald means that the upper levels have to figure out a way to get farms and workers to comply with testing. “Growers have to be presented with a carrot or a stick to entice them to get everyone tested,” she added. While Dilkens stopped short of naming the federal government when asked about who should be in charge, he did acknowledge that the feds and province have to play a lead role. “Pandemics expose frailties in many systems,” he said. “We are calling on the province and federal government to provide support as we move through this.” McNamara agreed and said there are UPDATE - Page 2

Community Living launches new fundraiser By Mark Ribble ESSEX COUNTY — Community Living Essex County (CLEC) is launching a new fundraising campaign called ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mask Is’. They are selling masks to raise funds for much needed resources and equipment. The organization, which supports over 700 people in Essex County with intellectual disabilities, is looking for help from the community. “We are looking to raise funds to purchase supplies and technology like iPads and craft supplies and develop virtual day supports for people we support,” said CLEC Manager of Community Relations and Resource Development, Tony DeSantis.
With the onset of COVID-19 , many people they support cannot fully participate in usual day support activities like attending exercise classes, cooking classes, and making crafts. CLEC is looking to partner with community leaders to provide a virtual day support initiative , or develop their own online courses and materials. For a minimum of a $25 online donation, a person will receive a high quality, reusable CLEC cloth face mask. Only 250 masks will be available with a goal of raising at least $6,250. You can visit communitylivingessex. org/got-involved/make-a-donation/ make-a-single-donation/ to help the cause. The fundraiser runs through July 19.

many different jurisdictions involved. “The pandemic has exposed gaps in the system,” he said. MacDonald was definitive when she urged the federal government to take the lead. “They are the first and last word as we go forward,” she said. “They should have followed through, but they didn’t.” The county officials agreed that, collectively, they are working as a team and making some headway, but there is much work to be done. “Windsor-Essex has been nothing short of extraordinary,” added Musyj.
Musyj explained that about one third of the farm workers have been tested and that number needs to escalate if we are to overcome the pandemic and keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed. “We need testing in the agri-food industry like we had for employees and visitors in long term care homes,” he said. Dr. Moncur updated those present on the onsite testing that followed the agri-food workers assessment centre that was set up at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Complex in Leamington. “We continue to help
the teams in the field and remain at the table to provide support and assistance wherever we can,” he said. In the end, the group agreed that they need the upper levels of government to take a lead role and organize a sustained, targeted solution to help keep the numbers down and keep the virus from spreading as it has in the United States. Emergency Management Ontario has people on the ground in Essex County, currently assisting the Canadian Red Cross with evaluating testing and isolation locations.
Ford visiting area on Thursday
LEAMINGTON/KINGSVILLE — Ontario Premier Doug Ford has plans to visit the area on Thursday, where he will visit local farms, talk to local officials and get a haircut. With Leamington and Kingsville being held back from the rest of the province for Stage 2, Ford announced last
week that he would wait to get his hair trimmed in this area. During the announcement last week, which ushered us into Stage 2, Ford was quick to thank the people of this area for our patience and said he would be visiting soon.
Home explosion claims two lives LEAMINGTON — A home exploded on Marentette Beach Rd on Sunday evening, July 12, claiming the lives of two people. Leamington Fire, EMS and OPP converged on the scene around 6:15 pm and found the home fully engulfed in flames, with large parts of the home strewn around the immediate area. On Monday, the Ontario Fire Marshal’s (OFM) office was present at the scene, along with local fire and police
officials. Late Monday, the OFM released the news that two people had perished in the explosion. The OFM brought in a specialized drone to map out the property and assist with the investigation, which expected to be ongoing for some time. The cause of the explosion is under investigation and the identities of the victims have not been released at press time.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEAMINGTON COMMUNITY, on behalf of Irwin D. Simon, CEO of Aphria Inc. To our Leamington Neighbours, The health and safety of Canadians continues to be a top priority for all during these challenging times. At Aphria Inc., we take our responsibility to protect the safety of our employees, patients, consumers, vendors, and the communities we call home to heart. This commitment is unwavering and remains a founding principle of our company, demonstrated daily in our focus on providing a safe workplace for our employees globally. We have never taken this responsibility lightly, nor have we ever been so focused on ensuring it continues as we are now. From our state-of-the art greenhouses to first-class laboratories and processing facilities, Aphria is one of the world’s leading producers of high-quality medical and adult-use cannabis. During the recent Public Health and Ministry of Labour audit of our local facilities, Aphria One and Aphria Diamond, the inspectors were complementary of the steps we have taken to provide for a safe environment for our team, which is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our fulltime, part-time and temporary team members, as well as the surrounding communities. We will continue to be vigilant in maintaining a safe environment for our teams. We work closely with governing bodies to ensure Aphria and our subsidiaries Aphria Diamond, Broken Coast Cannabis and Avanti Rx comply with all laws and regulatory requirements in place by our governmental authorities. We’re continuously reviewing and enhancing operational procedures and facilities both proactively and in response to routine inspections. I can say with confidence that Aphria is intently focused on ensuring and maintaining its regulatory compliance for its employees, patients and consumers. As the global situation continues to change, we, together with our partners, continuously review our COVID-19 protocols and procedures to ensure that they exceed governmental guidelines. Heightened measures are in place to protect the health and safety of employees, vendors, partners and their families and we are committed to enhancing these measures and implementing other necessary practices as the situation warrants. As our community has been experiencing uncertainty and hardships over the past four months, our team developed a support line service to help resident within community to gain access to everyday needs such as groceries, home supplies and more through a delivery program. The support line remains open seven days a week from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. and will continue as long as there is a need and an ask from you. Additionally, we’re proud to support Erie Shores Health Foundation as a community partner. In collaboration with our partners Double Diamond, we joined their fight against COVID-19 by contributing to their response fund. As we look to the future and continue to navigate these challenging waters, we remain committed to ensuring we continue to deliver on protecting the health and safety of our employees and the communities which we call home. In closing, I would like to personally thank our team members and their families for their flexibility, hard work and perseverance during these trying times. Thanks to their dedication and passion, we’ve been able to continue delivering as an essential business providing Canadians with high quality cannabis products. A heartfelt thank you goes out to each of you for allowing Aphria to be a member of the growing and vibrant community of Leamington. Sincerely, Irwin D. Simon, CEO, Aphria Inc.

LEAMINGTON — The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, along with the Erie Shores Health Foundation, have announced the results of the annual Hospice LifeWalk event. This year, due to social distancing requirements, the two annual events were held ‘virtually’ for the first time. This year’s Hospice LifeWalk raised more than $45,000 combined for both local hospice campuses (Windsor and Erie Shores). In the past, the annual event included an in-person walk, which took place across two locations, one in Windsor, and one in Leamington. These walks celebrated participants and paid tribute to those they were honouring. This year, instead of taking part in the in-person walk, participants were asked to “choose a challenge” to complete during the month of June, and share their personal challenge with friends and family. Challenges ranged from holding 10-minute planks, to walking over 75 km during the month, to making the trek from Kingsville to Leamington and back. “Our community is one that never ceases to amaze me,” said Colleen Reaume, Executive Director for the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County Inc. “Our LifeWalk is an annual event that recognizes and honours those we love. At a time when COVID has been keeping us physically apart, our community came together virtually to continue our LifeWalk celebrations. We are so grateful for all the support shown for our Hospice and for the patients and families we care for.” The funds raised as a part of LifeWalk will go toward covering the unfunded costs for the Residential Home and Welcome Centre at both Hospice Windsor and Erie Shores Campuses. “We are thrilled with the response we received and how engaged people were through the virtual event,” Christine Colautti, Executive Director for the Erie Shores Health Foundation. “A special thank you to our lead sponsor, TD Bank and our generous donors for their continued support and commitment to our cause.” Although the virtual version of this event was a success, the hope is that the event will be able to return to an in-person celebration in 2021.

Kingsville launches Open Streets initiative KINGSVILLE — Despite Friday’s storms washing out the first night of Kingsville’s Open Streets event, the rest of the opening weekend went very well. The town decided to close portions of Main Street and Division Street in the downtown area to help businesses get off to a roaring start entering Stage 2 of Ontario’s plan to re-open the economy. “Our business community is thrilled for the opportunity to welcome guests back, and our residents are looking forward to being re-acquainted with their small business friends,” said Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos. Kingsville moved into Stage 2 on Tuesday, July 7 and the town council had already prepared the plan for opening the streets in anticipation of the announcement. Santos cautions people to be diligent. “We want everyone to enjoy the fresh air and open space and visit their favorite restaurants and retailers in our vibrant community, but to do so safely,” he said. “Adherence to physical distancing, handwashing, and mask-wearing measures recommended by our Public Health officials continues to be critical.” Open Streets operates Fridays from 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Saturdays from 3:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Sundays 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. throughout the summer. Drivers should expect road closures to begin one hour before those time-periods, and traffic to resume one hour after. Main Street will close from the Unico Parking Lot to the west side of Chuckwagon Restaurant, and Division Street will close between King Street and Pearl Street. A map identifying the affected area, free municipal parking lots, and detailed detour routes is available on the town’s website.

Taking stock of sports
As I wade my way through my 60th year on this earth, I can’t help but think it was sure nothing I’d ever expected. None of us know how long we’re going to be around but I can be thankful for those years that filled the gap from 1961 until now. Aside from the greatest musical era of all time, in my opinion, I’ve Mark Ribble been blessed to live through a great sports era as well. Sure, you older folks can say the sports of the 60s, 70s and 80s can’t compare to the sports of the 30s 40s and 50s, but I still like my years just fine, thank you. And those years encompass a 53-year drought by my Toronto Maple Leafs, to boot. The Leafs last won the cup in 1967 (don’t remind me) and it’s doubtful they’ll win this year. I’m still not convinced they will actually play this year, but time will tell. If I look back over hockey, baseball and football since my birth year, I’d say there were great, hall-of-fame athletes that I was able to watch. Sure, I missed out on Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Honus Wagner, along with Howie Morenz and Rocket Richard. But boy did I hit the jackpot with Orr, Gretzky and Howe on the hockey side. For baseball, I can go back as far as Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Throw in Roberto Clemente and Sandy Koufax, and I think that’s a pretty good club. My early memories of the Detroit Tigers winning the 1968 World Series when I was seven, then go to my love for the Baltimore Orioles of 1970, with the likes of Jim Palmer, Boog Powell and my favourite player at the time, Brooks Robinson. Being a left-hander who wanted so badly to be a pitcher, I watched the unique motion of the Orioles’ lefty Mike

Hunter and gang. From there, I despised the Yankees for a good portion of the 1970s, and slowly turned my loyalties from the Orioles to the Blue Jays. In hockey, my allegiance will never waver, so that would never change. But the players I saw in those days have to be among the best. I’m happy to say I’ve met and talked with Bobby Orr, whom I disliked as a child because he was just so good and Boston was winning everything. In actuality there couldn’t have been a nicer guy to play the game. My respect for him grew after he left Boston for Chicago and had to leave the game because of bad knees. That career was phenomenal and would have been moreso if he had been healthy for a few more years. To me, Orr is the greatest to ever play the game and that comes from someone who is not a Bruins fan in any way, shape or form. My late mother loathed Wayne Gretzky, simply because he was so good. I’ve never got to meet The Great One, but I consider him number two on my list, just ahead of Mr. Hockey, who also played for a team I didn’t like. Then there is Ali, Foreman and the likes. And don’t forget Hulk Hogan. When I think about it, I can leave this world thankful that I was able to see as many of these stars in their heyday as I did. After all, I could have had to watch so many others who just don’t measure up.

Kingsville okays new pickleball courts
KINGSVILLE — Kingsville Council voted on Monday to enter into an agreement with Kingsville Pickleball Inc to construct eight new pickleball courts on Jasperson Lane. The court complex will be located at 1741 Jasperson. A recommendation
made from administration put the price tag at about $275,000 and there is hope that the town can utilize an ICP grant, along with money being raised by Kingsville Pickleball Inc. A user agreement will be in place to allow public access time to the courts on certain days
and times, similar to the agreement in place currently with the tennis association. Bocce courts will also be constructed within the pickleball complex. Council voted unanimously to accept the proposal.

Local Chamber of Commerce teams with Southpoint Printing to help local eateries
LEAMINGTON/KINGSVILLE — Leamington District Chamber of Commerce General Manager, Wendy Parsons, was looking for something unique to help member restaurants get a boost when Stage 2 was announced last week. She found it in the form of stop sign shaped table markers that signal to wait staff that the customers need them. Parsons reached out to Southpoint Printing representative Mallory Wright, who agreed to partner with the Chamber to help make Parsons’ idea come to life. The markers act as a signal to restaurant wait staff to either come to the table or it tells them they are not needed. If the green side is turned up, the table is fine and does not need service. If the red side is turned up, it means the customer needs the waitress to stop at the table and help them.
IN MEMORIAM
It’s just another tool that restaurants can use to help with social distancing. Crave Family Grill & Pub owner Chad Robinson, welcomes the extra tool to his arsenal. “Every little thing we can do to help our customers and staff feel more comfortable is a great idea,” he said. Over the weekend, Parsons delivered the markers to the 10 member restaurants across the region who have patios. She expects that once Windsor-Essex graduates to Stage 3, she will be able to get them out to member restaurants who don’t currently have a patio. Wright was happy to assist and hopes it will catch on. “We were honoured to partner with the chamber on this project,” she said. “Thanks to Wendy for bringing this initiative forward to help our local restaurants.”

Landmark Leamington home has unique history By C. Scott Holland Leamington is fortunate to have many houses with different architectural styles and one of the most unique is that of 41 John Street. Prior to 1948, Leamington’s house numbers were not structured and often the owner just gave the post office a particular, favourite one. In its early days, what is now known as 41 was formerly 29 and 307. The exact age of construction is unknown, but is believed to be between 1890 and 1904. The two-storey home features concrete bricks supplied by local Howard Roussel and one of the area’s most in-demand architects, William Link, was the contractor and foreman. Other buildings with which he was associated either as an architect or contractor are the federal building (today’s Art Gallery), the Carnegie Library, former Dock Restaurant and warehouse; and an assorted number of local homes, including his own home on Albert St. The original house had a veranda across the front and down the east side and inside, had two staircases leading to four upstairs bedrooms. One of the staircases was the formal one near the front, while the second was a narrow one just off the kitchen. For a number of years the house was operated as an upscale boarding house, taking in visiting bank managers and executives. It was used often by the H. J. Heinz Co. executives and for a couple of decades was nicknamed the “Heinz House.” In 1922, one of the early
boarders there was Fred Paterson, future owner of Paterson’s Dry Goods. Many years later his son Don, became the local MP and his grandson John, would become a Leamington councillor and mayor. In 1951, about 29 years after Fred had boarded at the house, son Jack and his wife Edith purchased the property and moved in with their five children. Jack was one of the founders of Southland Insurance (1955). It was during their tenure that some renovations took place. One of those was the addition of Leamington’s first inground swimming pool. About the same time, the Maynard family on Talbot St. E. and the Otton family on Marlborough St. W. also had inground pools installed. Bill Sherk, a good friend of Alan Paterson at the time, was invited to the pool’s grand opening and has said that it took place on Friday, July 19, 1957. Then, a tennis court was erected in the backyard. By the mid-1960s, its moniker had changed from the Heinz House to that of the Paterson House. The home’s connections to Heinz did not die. In 1980, Gil Morris, a Heinz executive, bought the house and stayed for three years. After sitting vacant for a year, Mike and Connie Martin took possession of it in January 1983. Connie’s husband Mike passed away in 1991 but Connie retained the house and together with the skilled help of Dr. Stephen McDowell, the place has been transformed back to the splendor it possessed in its heyday.
The home at 41 John St. has been known as the Heinz House and the Paterson House over the years. At right, the Carnegie Library. Both structures were creations of architect William Link. Photos from Scot Holland collection
Community Foundation grants funds to struggling charities WINDSOR-ESSEX — The Windsor-Essex Community Foundation is granting $45,000 in phase two of grants from the WECF Emergency Response Fund. A survey conducted in early April found that the most vulnerable in our community are not receiving the services they need when they need it the most. The WECF conducted the survey of 48 local charities to assess the needs of charitable organizations in Windsor Essex County. The results were concerning and required immediate action. The Windsor-Essex Community Foundation (WECF) established the WECF Emergency Response Fund. “In challenging times like these, it is more important than ever for the community to work together, and support one another,” said Lisa Kolody, Executive Director at WECF. Front line organizations receiving emergency grants in this phase of granting are Matthew House Refugee Centre of Windsor, Windsor-Essex Transgender and Allied Support, Harmony In Action, Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex, Windsor Essex Child/Youth Advocacy Centre and the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Caldwells embark on ambitious strategic plan
LEAMINGTON — After ratifying an historic land claim settlement in 2010, Caldwell First Nation was faced with a number of choices. Importantly, what were they going to do with the land that they were to purchase? After acquiring a number of properties for sale in the Leamington area, the time had arrived for significant land development planning to be formalized. Some of the properties are along Mersea Road 1 and Bevel Line Rd., which form only a fraction of Caldwell’s traditional territory, leading to another significant area in Caldwell’s history, and what is now known as Point Pelee National Park. Caldwell First Nation Council consists of four elected members of Council and a Chief, and has an administrative staff of 25+, which is a rapid growth from the mere six staff members the Nation had as recently as March, 2018. With a Land Use Planning Study underway with First Nation Engineering Services Ltd. Council has also engaged Sisco & Associates Consulting Services to help them put their visions into two strategic documents. This work occurred between March and August 2019. The documents produced were an extensive Economic Development Plan and a Community Comprehensive Plan. The planning process took a community-based and participatory approach which included Caldwell citizen consultation, strategic planning sessions, focus groups, logic modelling, and follow-up presentations. “This process truly was a holistic and intensive approach,” stated Director of Operations, Nikki van Oirschot. “It wouldn’t have been possible without a full complement of dedicated and skilled staff, coupled with a Council supportive of its staff, change, and progressiveness.” “Due to our unique circumstances as a Nation with no current reserve system in place, we have had to work hard in order to create a vision that is our own, and most importantly, community-driven and achievable,” she added. The community documents were presented to Council in January 2020 and voted upon in a unanimous vote of Council members present. “This plan was community driven and the result of hard work, community feedback, and thoughtful and thorough planning,” stated Caldwell’s Council. “We came together and asked ourselves what the future of Caldwell First Nation could look like.” The council looked at best practices, and determined what makes them unique as a community in terms of

ther by closing off some streets or allowing municipally-owned property to be utilized for patio situations. Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld cautioned that anything on public land would be very difficult to facilitate. “The difficulties would be with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO),” said Neufeld. “If we can work things out, we will be as flexible as possible.” He added that any alterations or expansion to existing patios must be brought to the municipality for building permits. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke asked how quickly this motion could be implemented, if passed. “If you are extending onto private land, get at it,” said Neufeld. “Come to us and tell us what you’re doing. Let’s get open and have some fun.”

Leamington okays temporary outdoor patios LEAMINGTON — With the graduation of Leamington to Stage 2 of the province’s plan to reopen, Leamington Council held a special meeting on July 8 to address the issue of outdoor patios for businesses. Prior to the announcement, the municipality developed temporary outdoor patio guidelines to assist business owners in extending existing or establishing new temporary patios on private and public property. Council voted to approve the program after some short discussion. “Leamington businesses have been hit hard by the extended COVID-19 restrictions,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “We are optimistic that this program is a key first step forward in the road to economic recovery.” Councillor John Hammond asked about the possibility of extending the program even fur-

Remembering the soap box derby By C. Scott Holland While sifting through some photo archives, memories came flooding back as pictures of Soap Box Derby winners emerged. The Soap Box Derby - usually held on Sherk St. - (after it was paved) was actually a main part of the Leamington fair in the 1940s and 1950s when a ramp was used to propel a set of homemade soap box cars down the track towards a finish line. But the natural slope of the Sherk St. hill became the predominant site for a few of the soap box races in the mid1980s when the Tomato Festival was
revived. Youngsters who entered were put into junior or senior categories and they ran the races - often with a sponsor like Erie Shores Ramblers Motorcycle Club or Dixie Autoland in charge. The races have faded along with the memories and the Tomato Fest, but in 1985 two youngsters had their moments of fame as they captured the two divisions - Evan Quick was the fastest down the hill to claim the junior honours while Brad Taylor of Corunna took the senior division.
Brad Taylor of Corunna.
Evan Quick of Leamington.
A look at one of Leamington’s popular rodeos which were held at the Leamington Fair. The year is unknown, but judging by the grandstand, this could be a rodeo from between 1940 to 1951. It is interesting to note the crowd size and a few people perched upon the grandstand’s roof. Photo from Scott Holland collection
Rodeos were popular at the annual Leamington Fair By C. Scott Holland Throughout the course of its long history, the annual Leamington Fair would bring in a rodeo as one of its main attractions. They were extremely popular until the late 1960s. One of the most popular rodeos took place in 1941. At that time, the annual fair was held in late September or early October. The 1941 edition ran from Sept. 29th to Oct. 4th and starting in February of that year, the fair’s directors drew massive attention to the fact that the George V. Adams Rodeo Company would be that year’s top event.
The advertising blitz that followed in the months leading up to the fair was as great as any ad today. The rodeo was touted as the world’s largest of its kind and held competitions wherever they went, as opposed to a set act. By today’s standards, it is hard to believe that Josephine Clark, who hailed from Texas, was considered an equal to the cowboys and was noted as one of the rodeo’s top headliners. She was one of the very few cowgirls who would compete on equal footing with the men in the calf roping segment.
Another star was 11year-old Shirley Adams, who competed against the men and women in the trick riding and roping events. George V. Adams, the owner-operator and producer of the event, was born in North Dakota, and announced that the show would bring over 150 head of ‘outlaw’ horses and wild steer. The crowd that attended was considered one of its best since the 1920s, although no exact figures were given, but the same rodeo appeared again the following year and again in 1951 at the fairgrounds.
Letter to Editor
Following emergency orders infringes upon our rights
Dear Editor: I have been reading this newspaper, especially anything in it about COVID-19, with keen interest. I noticed that most of the ‘Letters to the Editor’ seem to agree with the restrictions placed on us due to the “pandemic”. Therefore, I have decided to let people know what I think about the restrictions and mandatory masking. Never before have I seen so many of our rights, freedoms, and privileges taken away as now in the COVID-19 “pandemic”. Our Charter Rights -- the right to liberty and equality -- have been stamped upon. They have infringed on our private lives and family norm. Social circles of only ten people. Stay 2 meters apart, or else. And I am expected to stand by passively as they take it all away. Don’t take me wrong. I feel deeply
for those families who have lost a loved one during this difficult time, especially those that have lost someone because of depression and loneliness. That’s why this is an injustice. I do believe in protecting the elderly and those with compromised immune systems from diseases, viruses, etc. But perfectly healthy people “emergency-ordered” to wear a mask in the grocery stores? If they can “emergency-order” us to wear masks and not go to the park, what else will they order us around with? Take away our freedom of speech under some other pretext? This is supposed to be a free country, so if you want to wear a mask, go ahead, it’s your right; but shouldn’t those of us who don’t want to wear one have the right to do as we please? Sincerely, Helena Thiessen

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there is a lot you want to say to someone special, but for some reason the words get stuck on your tongue. You may need a little more time to formulate your thoughts. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 The adage “look before you leap” is never more pertinent for you, Taurus. Weigh all of your decisions carefully before you start any new projects this week. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Try to keep the peace with other people this week, Gemini. Lead by example rather than telling others what to do. This approach will be more warmly received by others. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may want to look up old friends who you haven’t seen for a while, Cancer. You may be feeling sentimental or sociable and a simple text or phone call can be effective. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You like to have the final say in all matters, Leo. But there is a fine line between taking charge and being a control freak. Let others’ reactions help you fine tune your delivery. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You will be able to get to the root of problem this week if you put in some serious effort, Virgo. It may involve receiving and analyzing feedback from many different people. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 This week’s overall outlook is positive for you, Libra. However, you may have to work a little bit for that positivity. The attitude you present is what you will get in return. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, embrace your creative side rather than your analytical side. Employ your creativity this week and you may be surprised at the results. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You may have to rethink certain principles that you have adhered to for years, Sagittarius. After some reflection, you may realize life has changed and you must adjust. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It may not be easy to get things done this week, Capricorn. You might find it challenging to muster up the energy to be effective. If so, look to others for motivation. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, lately you have been challenged to assert yourself in many different ways. You tend to thrive in a leadership role, but don’t let the stress get the best of you. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Many things come to you naturally. Examine your strengths and figure out how to be as productive as possible in the days ahead.

ingale with three hits in four trips, including a home run, it was Cottam’s championship to grab. Nightingale’s homerun leading off the fifth inning, led to a six-run inning and blew the game apart. Pat Trautman, Anne Scott and Julie Chambers also had three hits. Kay Grabb pitched a steady game for the winners, who took home the
Canadian Tire Trophy. They also won the IGA Trophy for best record in the regular season. Lisa Zwiers took the loss for Woolworths. She was relieved in the fifth inning by Doreen Hillier. Zwiers led Woolworths with three hits at the plate, while Vicki Dawson had two.
By Mark Ribble This week’s sports flashback comes from July, 1977. TYKES OUTLAST WHEATLEY The Leamington Tykes outlasted Wheatley 19-14 on Wednesday in Wheatley. Leamington grabbed a 6-0 first inning lead and never looked back. They collected 10 hits and 11 walks off Wheatley pitcher Dave Cours. David Hildebrandt doubled and singled for Leamington, while Jim Stenger and Darren Pimiskern added two singles each. Doug Wales belted a solo homerun and single for Wheatley. Stenger and Mike Smith shared Leamington’s mound duties, allowing six hits, 12 walks and managed to strike out six. KINGSVILLE PEEWEES OUST LEAMINGTON The Leamington Branch 84 Peeewees bowed out of the Royal Canadian Legion qualifying round, dropping a 5-3 decision to Kingsville Branch 188 at the Kinsmen Sports Field. Kingsville won the series 2-0. Leamington grabbed a quick 3-0 lead in game two, but Kingsville pitcher Dave Leili slammed the door after that, holding Leamington scoreless with help from John Bradbury. Kingsville scored twice in the third and fifth, adding an insurance run in the sixth. Tyler Verhaeghe went the distance on the mound for Leamington, scattering five hits, while striking out four and walking five. Verhaeghe helped his own cause with a pair of singles. John Barnett hit a double and single to lead Kingsville. BARONS ALMOST UPSET TECUMSEH There was an upset in the making but Leamington Barons weren’t able to put the Tecumseh Green Giants away last Wendesday. Cellar-dwelling Leamington held a 6-1 lead over the Giants heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but then the wheels fell off. Tecumseh sent 12 batters to the plate during a rally which produced eight runs and a final 9-6 score. The loss left Leamington at 7-22 for the season. Tecumseh improved to 24-5. Giants’ starter Mark Renaud allowed 11 hits but gave way to reliever Gary Goebel. Leamington starter Bob Derbyshire kept the Tecumseh bats at bay until the sixth, when he gave up a pair of homeruns, knotting the score at 6-6. Dennis Ribble took over on the mound and walked two batters, before giving up a three-run shot to Bob McNorton. Mike Klym paced Leamington at the plate with a solo homerun and two singles. Tom Lewis homered in a losing cause. Ken Derbyshire and Roger White picked up two hits apiece. MINOR BALL FEATURE GAME Sound Gallery dumped A&W 7-2 in Bantam house league action. Steve Vorkapich pitched for Sound Gallery, giving up eight hits, walking one and fanning 11. Dennis McDonald took the loss and was tagged for 13 hits. He struck out 10 and walked only one. Richard Kos went three-for-three for A&W, while Darrin Harrison cracked a double. Singles were hit by Dennis Ouellette, Kevin Garant, McDonald and Craig Garant. James Cornies had three singles for the winners. Tom Neilipovtiz hit a pair of doubles, while Brent Metz and Vorkapich each had a pair of singles. Jodie White hit a double, while singles went to Allen Derksen, Alfred Eagle and Cindy Pannunzio.

A new lease on life with ‘63 An email arrived from Bill and Debbie Price of Bradford, Ontario: “Hi Bill. My wife Debbie and I own this 1963 Pontiac Parisienne two-door hardtop with VIN #3784772552. We hope you can help us find information as to where originally purchased, copy of dealer invoice, and original bill of sale. It is in beautiful condition with 94,000 original miles. We believe we are the fourth owners. “It is a numbers matching car and we purchased it from Robert Byer of Innisfil on July 16, 2019. For some reason we were drawn to this car. Robert had higher offers but could see how much we loved it and would take care of it so he sold it to us.” Debbie added a fascinating detail: “We didn’t know at the time we bought it but when he delivered it, we found out that he had lived seven doors away from Bill when he was growing up in Thornhill. He knew all the same people including Bill’s parents. It seems like the car was meant for us.” Bill picks up the story again: “As my wife told you, I am
THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk a stroke survivor and now also a right lower limb amputee. Life has been very difficult in the last four years. This car has given us a new lease on life. It has given me back my independence and we go for very long drives almost every day. “I find new cars difficult to drive because of the placement of the gas and brake pedals. The Pontiac is so easy and comfortable for me to drive. Everywhere we go, people of all ages and genders
want to talk to us about the Pontiac.” Debbie added another interesting detail: “We bought this car before Bill had his license reinstated, which was a nightmare in itself: $700 and a five hour test, even the drunk test where they even wanted him to stand on one leg! “Buying it before he had his license was a tad risky because it was way too big for me to drive. I said if you don’t get your license, this car is going to be one big old expensive lawn ornament. But he passed!” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca.

Erie Shores Thursday Night League results
By Paul Bunnett-Jones Despite scorching heat conditions, the perfectly manicured course was packed as usual. There was close to 90 per cent participation in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores last Thursday. The day featured a spectacular hole-in-one by Greg Dunmore on the long 221-yard par-three 13th hole. Playing with Bill Kelly, Todd Hodgson and Bill Ruiter, Greg used his driver to fade a perfectly hit shot into the cup for an ace on a hole that, record-wise, is the second hardest par three to allow such feats at Erie Shores. Well, that is, except for the Dunmore family, which have sort of made the 13th a hole-in-one tradition over the years. Back on August 3, 1972, Greg’s father Don Dunmore started it all on the 13th hole at a time when it didn’t even have an elevated tee box. Don’s daughter-in-law, Debbie Dunmore, continued the trend by getting not one, but two more holes-in-
one on the 13th in 2000 and 2004. Who’ll be the next Dunmore? We’ll keep you posted. Left-handed hitting Neil Sawatzky led the field with a one-underpar 35, a stroke better than the even par 36s scored by Ward Hutchins, Brian Humphreys, Kyle Humphreys and Joe DiGiorgio. Also, finishing with impressive rounds of oneover-par 37, were Ryan Harder and Ryan Peltier. Another stroke back at 38 was a group including Kyle Kudroch, Derek Dimenna, Hayden Hodgson, Matt Taouil and Scott Wilkinson. Neil Harms and Terry McLaughlin tied for low net scores with five-under-par net 31s, while Herman Bergen, Joe DiGiorgio, Neil Sawatzky and Matt Taouil were all a shot back net 32. Derek Dimenna, Mike Harris, Ryan Harder and Ryan Peltier tied for seventh place with three-underpar net 33s. It was a big evening for skins with a total of 11 paying out. Gross skin winners included
Hayden Hodgson, Ward Hutchins, Raoul Morin, Tim Tiessen, Neil Sawatzky and, naturally, Greg Dunmore, while Mike Harris had two net skins and Kevin Kantati, Terry McLaughlin and Jason Tiessen each picked up singles. In the overall team play competition, the Bogey Men have stretched their first play lead to 10 points with a total of 84 compared to 74 for the second place teams of Complete & Putter Madness and the Foot Wedge Crew. Sitting alone in fourth spot with 69 points is Par Then Bar, while Mulligan Island is next at 67 and the Cinderella Story is another point back at 66. To follow the complete

‘Zika’ mosquito makes first appearance in Windsor-Essex
ESSEX COUNTY — For the first time this season, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) has identified Aedes Albopictus invasive mosquitoes during routine surveillance in the City of Windsor. Aedes Albopictus has been identified across the United States and has been routinely captured locally in the Windsor and Essex County region since 2016. Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters, with peaks in activity in the early morning and late afternoon. They typically lay eggs in and near standing water in items such as buckets, bowls, animal dishes, flowerpots and clogged gutters. Although the species can spread the Zika virus, it remains a very low risk in the WindsorEssex community. “There is currently no change in risk for Zika virus in our community. The Aedes Albopictus
mosquito that was identified has tested negative for Zika and West Nile virus,” said Dr. Wajid Ahmed, Medical Officer of Health, Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. Here are some simple tips to help protect from mosquito bites: • Remove any standing water in places such as birdbaths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes and gutters around your property. Mosquitoes can breed in containers as small as a bottle cap. • Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best as mosquitoes tend to be attracted to dark colours. • Use insect repellents that contain DEET, Icaridin, or other approved ingredients on clothing as well as exposed skin. Always read and follow label directions. • Make sure that door and window screens fit securely and are free of holes.

BOO
2 year old female, Boo, is a tad timid at first and likes to sit in her bed while you come to her. After lots of petting and love she is surely to come out and be all over you! Boo ADORES being pet and having her neck scratched for her. She is very gentle and never stops asking for more love. Boo also loves to be placed up on your lap where she can be showered with loads of affection. She would do best in a home on the quieter side as lots of constant loud noises makes her nervous. Boo can’t wait to find her furever home!

1994 Peewee house league champs By C. Scott Holland Unlike travel teams, the purpose of house league baseball is for kids of all ages and abilities to get together and play the game, while learning and having fun. So often these youngsters are in the shadows of the teams that play travel and head to big tourneys or OBA championships. With that in mind, let’s take a quick look at the PeeWee Bantam house league champions of 1994 - the Knights of Columbus Cobras. The Cobras had to battle right to the very end in order to claim the 1994 title., where they edged the Classic Cruisers 9-8. The see-saw contest was decided late. With the score knotted at 8-8, the Cobras squeezed across a run in the bottom of the eighth inning to take a slim one run lead. Rich Neufeld kicked it off with a triple and John Klassen followed with a double to score the gamewinning run. The Cobras went to work defensively and blanked the Cruisers in the ninth to win the championship. It was certainly an exciting day for both teams and their display of baseball skills was the sum of the year together.
The Knights of Columbus Cobras won the 1994 LDMBA Peewee-Bantam championship.

Talbot Trail Seniors weekly golf report
SUDOKU ANSWERS
By Bob McLean On Tuesday July 7, there were 64 seniors who played their league games in the 90-degree weather. However, the intense heat didn’t stop Tom Dunn from firing a sizzling 33 score. Al Zanuttini’s winning hit on #9 was a mere six feet from the pin. Paul Harrison earned the long putt victory on #2 by draining a dandy. Sorry Eugene, but 91-year-old year old Scotty twisted my arm. Scotty said that I had to print that Eugene was a wimp for not playing. In the super senior (85+) silver division, Tom Hyatt shot a terrific 45. Bob Freure earned a nifty fifty. Our super senior ‘Gold’ division continued their excellent play. Carl Robinson and Dave La Bonte scored excellent 46s. Other praiseworthy results were: Scotty Westrop at 51; Gerry Becigneul and
Erle Nash both shot 52. Our 80-85 year division also played very well. Joe Vrtel earned the lowest score with a terrific 44. Praiseworthy results were produced by Vic Reynaert, Ed Woelk, Walter Balsam, Andy Orsini, Ken
Womack and Terry Bee. Behind Dunner in the under 70 division was Shannon Wiper and Joe Drummond who both fired outstanding 38s. Other superb scores were merited by the following players: Arkey and Fuzzy with 40s; Randy and Wiz shot 43s; Tim Stevenson and Herb Reid with 44s. In the 70-79 year grouping, Dutchy easily led the way as he shot a ‘masterful’ 35. Others who broke 45 were the following players: Bill Ward and Chopper with 42s; Al Matthews and Bobo 43s; Paul Harrison with a 44. Jen Dawson, our new manager, organized a delicious, filling breakfast that 27 of the members enjoyed eating. She was assisted by her daughter Kylee, Jan Derbyshire and Jack Hannigan. “If you think it’s hard to find new people., try picking up the wrong golf ball.” — Jack Lemmon
