Leamington votes unanimously

Council okays interim policy on boarding houses By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — There was plenty of discussion at the August 25 meeting of Leamington council regarding a proposed policy to allow changes of use permits in boarding houses within the municipality. In the end, council voted unanimously to support the temporary interim policy, which in effect brings all of the boarding houses with multiple migrant workers into compliance with previously existing zoning bylaws. Leamington’s Director of Legal and Legislative Services, Ruth Orton, brought the matter to council regarding the dilemma faced by the building department. Recent fire inspections of these homes have revealed that more people are living in them than the bylaws allow and safety is a real concern for the Fire Inspector. “Boarding houses are operated as separate tenancies within a home,” said Orton. “These are not single tenancies.” The municipality’s current zoning bylaws prevent the use of single dwellings as boarding houses, but the need for additional temporary worker housing has created a safety issue by multiple workers being housed in one home throughout the municipality. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit normally carries out the yearly inspections of farm-owned boarding houses and they recommend no more than four workers per home. The Municipality’s fire inspector has recently been issuing work orders requiring the reduction of the number of workers being housed in the homes, or for the homes to be renovated to provide firewalls, self-closing doors, alarm systems and separate exits, among other things.

Sunflowers-4-Smiles field in Cottam offers one last weekend

Over 1,000 people are estimated to have already gone for a walk through, taken selfies and even had some professional photos captured among the 31,000 sunflowers planted on the Rocheleau family farm near Cottam. The field opened for the first time on Aug. 15, with the aim of raising funds by donations for Ronald McDonald House. “We wanted to spread some joy,” said

Ashley Rocheleau at her family’s farm on Road 10. “There isn’t anything like this around here,” The family decided to give it a try. “We opened earlier than expected because the sunflowers had bloomed already, “ she said. Friday’s storm system did damage to a few of the plants and made for muddy grounds, causing them to close, but they

were back open the very next day. Unfortunately, she said they can not accommodate pets due to the liability. “Unless they are a service dog with paperwork,” she added. She said visitors are also asked to adhere to provincial guidelines as it relates to COVID-19, such as not attending the field if you are not feeling well, social distancing, washing hands etc.

As of Saturday they had raised around $3,500 of the $5,000 goal with Sept. 5 set as the last day depending on weather, she said. The field is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is located on Road 10, west of County Rd. 27 (Belle River Rd). Turn left just past Gosfield North Public School and the farm is the third driveway on the north side of the road.

Canada-wide arrest warrant for shooting suspect LEAMINGTON- The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Essex County Major Crime Unit is advising of the issuance of a Canada Wide arrest warrant for 29-year-old Talita Isola Campbell of Windsor. Campbell is wanted for attempted murder and other firearm related offences in relation to an incident on July 19, 2020 on Robinson Street in Leamington. A 39-year-old woman was transported to an area hospital by Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for treatment of a gunshot wound. Campbell has ties to both Windsor and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). She is described as female, black, 5 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build and was last seen wearing eyeglasses, black pants, a dark shirt and her hair tied back in a pony-tail. She is known to use an alias of Sam or Samantha Smith. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this individual is asked to contact 911 immediately. Campbell should be considered armed and dangerous.

Terry Fox Run approaching KINGSVILLE — The 2020 Kingsville Terry Fox Virtual Run is fast approaching and organizers are sending out reminders to supporters of the run to get registered. The 40th Annual Terry Fox Run is a virtual run for the first time and will be held on Sunday, September 20. Participants are encouraged to walk or run around your back yard, in your neighbourhood,

down the street or around the block. You can register as a family, an individual or as a virtual team. The proceeds, as always go to fund cancer research. You can sign up to participate at www.terryfox. ca/terryfoxrun/kingsville. If you want to donate but not participate, consider donating to the Kingsville team at www. terryfox.ca/mfit

COUNCIL - From Page 1 Meanwhile, because of existing bylaws, the Chief Building Officer cannot issue building permits to bring those homes up to safety standards. “Building permits cannot be issued to make improvements due to boarding houses not being permitted,” said Orton. The proposed policy would provide relief from the the bylaw on a temporary basis and allow owners to bring their properties up to safety standards within a certain amount of time. It would also allow council to revisit the issue and develop a plan to either amend the existing bylaw or come up with a new bylaw con-

cerning boarding houses. The policy would only cover homes housing temporary foreign workers and would only apply to those homes who had multiple workers prior to August 25. The building department can then issue a permit for the owners to bring the home up to standards. It does not apply to temporary isolation due to COVID-19. Councillor Bill Dunn expressed his concern that owners will spend thousands to bring the home up to standards and then could be denied later if the bylaw isn’t changed. Councillor John Hammond was concerned about liability in the meantime, until all of the homes get

their upgrades. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke asked why this issue is coming to forefront now. “I was always under the assumption that we already did fire inspections of these properties,” he said. “We also don’t know where all of these boarding houses are.” Mayor Hilda MacDonald questioned whether an already taxed building department could handle the extra load. “How are we possibly going to make this work?,” she asked. In the end, after much discussion, council voted unanimously to pass the policy and revisit the bylaw later in the fall.

Kingsville offers business relaunch fund KINGSVILLE — Eligible businesses within the Town of Kingsville can now apply for up to $750.00 in funding to help offset operating costs related to COVID-19. “The Town recognizes keeping employees and customers safe has resulted in increased expenditures for our local business community,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “Businesses are spending more

on fixtures, equipment, and enhanced cleaning measures in order to stay vigilant in the fight against the virus, and as our region moves forward with each stage of the Province’s reopening plan, those costs continue to add up.” The Business Relaunch Fund is a one-time pay-

ment to help businesses offset a portion of the expenses associated with operating under new safety guidelines. To be eligible, businesses must be: located in the Town of Kingsville, be a registered business or a non-profit, charity, or cultural organization, and be operating out of property

assessed in the commercial class. Interested applicants can access the Business Relaunch Application Form and eligibility details on the Town’s website at www.kingsville. ca/relaunch. Applications will be accepted from August 24, 2020 to October 23, 2020.

Dear Editor: We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the people in Leamington who so kindly assisted on Saturday, August 22, following the car crash we were involved in. From the witnesses, the firefighter who just happened to be on the scene, the young men who stopped, the EMS, firefighters, OPP officers, the wonderful exemplary Starbucks staff, tow truck driver and Gertie and friend, we were deeply touched by your kindness, caring and compassion. This is a remarkable example of human benevolence and kindness to which we all should aspire. We all are fortunate that our injuries were not serious and send our thoughts and wishes to the occupants of the other vehicle, that they are recovering well. Thank you Leamington people. You have touched our lives more than you know with your support during this difficult event. Sincerely, Wally, Linda and Rachel Moroz

WFCU lands on prestigious list WINDSOR - WFCU Credit Union (WFCU) has recently announced that the organization has been included on the 2020 list of Best Workplaces for Giving Back. WFCU received this honour after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work. The list is based on direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of organizations that were surveyed by Great Place to Work. “Being able to say WFCU is certified as a Great Place to Work, is named a Best Workplaces in Canada, a Great Place to Work in Ontario and now a Best Workplaces for Giving Back, is something we are extremely proud of,” said Marty Gillis, Chair of the Board of WFCU. To be eligible for this list, organizations must be Great Place to Work-Certified in the past year and at least 90%

of employees must feel good about the way their company contributes to the community. Great Place to Work determined the best based the overall community investment index score from employees, as well as the range and quality of programs which encourages workplace community investment. Eddie Francis, President and CEO of WFCU Credit Union stated, “What makes these designations so important to us is that we could not have received them without the feedback of our employees. Our employees’ opinions of our workplace, values and culture are a direct correlation of how we view ourselves, and it gives me great pride in knowing that we are doing our job in ensuring that our staff feel valued, know they are all an integral part of WFCU and they feel proud of how WFCU supports our community.”

School Bus Safety Zone Parents, be sure to review these important bus safety tips with young riders and drivers to keep kids safe this school year.

SAFETY TIPS FOR CHILDREN (and Parents!) Through our programs like First Ride and Bus Evacuation we help students to understand what they need to do to be safe around school buses. There are a few simple rules that children should follow when riding a bus. • Stay seated at all times when on a bus. Do not move around the bus once you have boarded. Find a seat and stay there. • Do not eat or drink on the bus because of choking hazards and the risk that other students are anaphylactic (allergic). • Children need to follow a “hands off” policy with other students on the bus. • Children should not engage in bullying and should report it to the bus patrol or driver if they witness it. • Please be at your bus stop no less than 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. • Listen to the bus driver and follow their directions. • Do not attempt to board the bus until it has come to a complete stop. • Wait for the driver to signal you to cross before you cross the road. The driver is making certain all traffic is stopping for the bus. • Remember to stay out of the danger zones around the bus. • Remember to never go back for something that you have dropped.

MOTORIST RESPONSIBILITIES Help keep our area children safe from unsafe drivers. Motorists must stop when the school bus stop arms/lights are deployed. If you witness a driver who doesn’t stop for a school bus, safely pull over and record everything you can remember about the incident:

For any Covid-19 related questions

please visit

• Location, date and time • Make, model, colour and license plate • Confirm that the bus was yellow with “school bus” written on both ends • Size of the bus (small or large) • Status of the bus (stopped or moving) • Red flashing lights (on or off) • Children boarding or exiting the bus • Driver passed from the front or from behind the bus

Immediately contact police by phone or in person and provide as much information as you can, including the names of any witnesses or photographs. Remember, the penalty for not stopping for a school bus is a fine of up to $2,000 and 6 demerit points.

T H E S E B U S S A F E T Y T I P S A R E S P O N S O R E D B Y:

Transporation for all Occasions

KNOW THE DANGER ZONES • Every child must know the DANGER ZONES around the school bus. • Children should never enter the DANGER ZONE unless the driver has given them permission. • If a child can touch the bus, he or she is too close. • If a child must cross the street, know all the rules to cross safely.

Celebrating a milestone

Thirty five years ago this week, I nervously walked into the rear door at 27 Princess Street to start my new job at the Leamington Post. I was greeted by publisher Tony Duncan, who took me directly to what he referred to as the composing room. It was Labour Day 1985 and I was a little a p p re h e n s i v e about starting a new job on a holiday but over the next few years I would get used to it. Mr. Duncan introduced me to my new co-workers and left me to settle in. There were four people in the composing room on that holiday Monday 35 years ago. Bill Cole was the shop foreman, while John Stacey and Elaine ‘Smokey’ Gillanders held the position of compositors, which was what I was training to become. Margaret Sieler sat in a corner on a screenless computer, typing what seemed like a thousand words a minute. The editor Mike Thibodeau, entered the room frequently as he oversaw the composition of the newspaper’s pages. The advertising manager, John Lamarsh, did the same with the ad content. The rest of the staff had the holiday off. My first impression was simply amazement. I had always been curious about the inner workings of a newspaper but had no idea of the ride I was about to take. My dream through high school was to become a broadcast journalist. My penchant for creative writing had also spawned an interest in becoming a

er, the border tape and became quite adept at cutting a straight line with an Exacto knife. On certain days I helped John on the press and eventually was able to run it on my own. I had no formal schooling. I was a mere high school graduate and underachiever who fell far short of his dreams and aspirations. After all, what high school kid was thinking about the future? Apparently, not me. But now, I was about to become a father for the first time and had to have a steady pay cheque, which I was not getting from my previous stint as a real estate agent. So life went on and I learned more and more about the newspaper business. I worked in classifieds for a short time, and as the world of newspapers evolved, I dabbled in sales and writing too. Eventually, before joining my work family here at the Southpoint Sun, I even tried my hand at the distribution end of things. Some 35 years after it first began, I’m sitting at the editor’s desk, early on a Tuesday morning, the anniversary date of my first venture into the world of newspapers. Maybe the underachiever has finally achieved.

Groundbreaking at Park Homestead COLCHESTER – A small group of dignitaries gathered to break ground for the new Heritage Centre at the John R. Park Homestead recently, six months after the Government of Canada announced a $600,000 grant for the project. The new Heritage Centre will enhance the educational and cultural experiences for all who visit. It will feature an adequate, climate-controlled creative commons for students of all ages, a significantly enhanced exhibit space, an outdoor classroom space and accessible and expanded washroom facilities. A $100,000 contribution will create the Town of Essex Tourism Hub as part of the Heritage Centre. The Stephanie and Barry Zekelman Foundation generously made the lead campaign contribution with a donation

of $100,000 to create the Stephanie and Barry Zekelman Foundation Welcome Centre. In total, thanks to donations from dozens of supporters in the community, $1,050,000 of the $1.2 million campaign goal has been raised, with several more fundraising activities planned for the coming months. Designed by local architectural firm Architecttura Inc., construction will be undertaken by Gulf Developments of Maidstone. Built in 1842, the Homestead is the only living agricultural museum west of London. It has twice received the distinction of being voted the best museum or heritage space in Windsor-Essex and was awarded the Russell K. Cooper Award as the best living history museum in Ontario.

1980 minor ball house league champs

By C. Scott Holland The 1980 Leamington Minor Baseball championships had two contests in which hitting was the key element. ATOM A Leamington Glass 22 Erie Sport 8 Four pitchers combined for mound duties on the Glass team as Tony Joseph, Paul Raffoul, Bill Boutros and Mike Elias tossed a four-hitter while issuing 12 walks and struck out 17. Erie Sports pitchers Chris Welch, Neil Derbyshire, Jason Leili and Piero Ingratta allowed 17 hits and 18 walks. The champs were led by Darren McCarty, who hit a home run, triple, and three doubles. Bill Boutros clubbed a triple, double and two singles.

TYKE Brother’s Carpet & Tile 17 Post Office 9 It was a close contest during the first half before Brother’s collected nine unanswered runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Both teams slugged 15 hits. On the mound for Brother’s were Kevin Hall, Jeff Nikosey, and Gary Quenneville, who struck out eight and walked three. Holding the Brother’s hot bat was Jeff Kelly, who had a pair of doubles and a triple. Pierrre Obeid cracked a double and two singles. The Post Office’s offense was led by Tony Taouil and Paul Jacobs, who both bashed a double and a single.

Registration cost is $5 per player with a maximum of $10 per family. Proof of age is required via birth certificate. Ice will be installed in time for an October 6 start. JUNIORS FORFEIT TO ST. THOMAS The Leamington Junior Barons bowed out of the OBA Junior A playdowns on Friday night when the St. Thomas Tomcats were awarded a 9-0 forfeit in the third and deciding game of the series. Leamington had won the opener 6-2 and St. Thomas had tied the series with a 6-0 victory of their own. St. Thomas was up 6-2 in game three with Leamington at bat in the ninth inning, when the umpire from London called the forfeit. The umpire claimed that Leamington pitcher Jim Creech, who had been ejected the previous inning, had not left the field of play. Creech had been standing along the sidelines watching the game after his ejection, when the St. Thomas players pointed him out to the umpire. The trouble began in the eighth inning when Leamington manager Don “Shorty” Nicholson was shoved by St. Thomas shortstop Don Ross. Rightfielder Dave Wilkinson came to Nicholson’s aid and a scuffle ensued. Wilkinson was ejected, but Ross was not and that’s when Creech questioned the umpire, getting tossed also in the process. Creech had allowed only three hits up until that point. Don Bruner and Tom Barrie combined to finish up before the forfeit was called.

TYKES ADVANCE IN OBA Leamington Local 459 scored early and often as they steamrolled over Port Colborne 17-0 in OBA Tyke A Minor playdowns. The win advanced Leamington to the provincial semi-finals. Southpaw Bob Willms shutout the visitors on four hits while striking out eight and walking three. Brian Mickle sparked the Leamington attack with three singles. Chris Duncan, John Emerson and Rick

Goslin had two hits each. NO-HITTER FOR ARNER Mike Arner pitched a no-hit, no-run game Saturday to lead Kingsville to a 12-0 win over Byron in an Ontario Baseball Association Tyke B playdown game at Lions Park. With the win, Kingsville advances to the second round of the playoffs. Kingsville was led at the plate by Eric Massong, who had three hits, with two hits going to Arner and Mike Zdonek.

Thursday night golf at Erie Shores

By Paul Bunnett-Jones After a heavy rainfall closed the course down Wednesday, the hot and steamy conditions helped evaporate just about all of the moisture by the following afternoon leaving golfers in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores sluggishly playing on the hottest day of the season with only one participant, Matt Taouil, managing to break par with an impressive one under score of 35 after birding the long and difficult par 4 18th hole. Wheaton Mouck, Neil Sawatzky and Kyle Humphreys all tied for second place one stroke back with notable rounds of even par 36. Ken Cobby, Brad Mellon and Mike Harris were next with one over par 37’s while Kyle Kudroch, Greg Dunmore, Jamie Mastronardi and Brian

Humphreys all finished with two over par scores of 38. In the handicap flight, Mike Harris led the field with an amazing 7 under par net 29. Matt Taouil and Jamie Mastronardi were tied for second with 5 under par net 31’s, while Dylan Taylor and Chuck Reynolds finished another shot back with 4 under par net rounds of 32. In a group of eight players finishing tied for sixth place with 3 under par net 33’s was Ken Cobby,

Jamieson Juniors make final stop at Kingsville By Bryce Evon The Jamieson Junior Tour stopped at Kingsville Golf and Curling Club for the final event of the year last week. The standings were close as the players battled for the Kingsville title, and the overall tour title. The Collegiate Women, Junior Girls, and Collegiate Men played the Gold and Red nines, while the Junior Boys played the Red and White nines. In the Junior Girls’ Division, the top two in the tour standings battled back and forth all day, and eventually ended up

in a tie for the day. Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) and Kennedy Fremlin (Essex) both fired 79 on the day, making them co-champions for the event. It was Charlebois that edged Fremlin out for the overall tour title though, as she finished the year with 114 points, just 1.5 points ahead of Fremlin. In third place for the overall on the tour was Karolyn Rombouts (Maple City). In the Collegiate Women’s Division, Jasmine Ly (Northern Illinois) earned her fourth win in as many starts, shooting a twoover par 74. Her round included two-birdies, on

route to nines of 37-37. The Overall Tour title was claimed by Erin Kopinak (Delaware State/Willow Ridge), who finished the year with 28 points, besting Brooke MacKinnon (Hartford/Maple City) by one point, and Gioia DiCiocco (Erie Shores) by 3.5 points. In the Junior Boys’ Di-

vision, Alek Mauro (Detroit Mercy/Essex) emerged victorious with a very impressive score of 4-under par 68. Mauro fired 33 on the Red nine and 35 on the White nine, carding 7 birdies on the day. Mauro played a total of four events this year, recording three wins and a runner-up finish. Tyler Hurtubise (Pointe West) finished in a tie for second on the day (along with Aidan Webster and Grant Baker) after firing an even-par 72, but he

Talbot Trail Seniors swinging away By Bob McLean On August 25, there were 62 participants playing their weekly game. The long putt winner was Eugene, who drained a magnificent twenty-three foot putt. Bill Ward ‘s excellent shot won closest to the pin. In the under 70 grouping, Joe Drummond and Dunner tied with masterful 38’s. One shot back was hardworking Arkey with his excellent 39. Fred Michano and Gerry van Deven earned solid 43’s. Herb Reid and Phil Humphries scored very commendable 44 and 45 results respectively. Dave Dibbley produced a nifty fifty. Dutchy fired a spectacular 36 to top the 70-79 division. Long hitter Bill Ward finished with an out-

standing 40. Chopper and Doug Langlois produced terrific 41’s. Gus Brown merited an inspiring 43. Gary Honey, Rick Thompson, and Bobo earned commendable 44’s. Fuzzy and Eugene Abbruzzese fired praiseworthy 45’s. Players who also scored under 50: Richard, Larry Hyatt, Nick, Bob Lee, Al Matthews, Ray, Dave Dent, Ross, Schmidty, Jerry, Paul, and steadily improving, Martin Girash. Al Zanuttini had a nifty fifty! Terrific scores of 45 and 46 were fired by Joe Vrtel and Ed Woelk respectively in the 80-85 division. Andy Orsini’s steady play led to a noteworthy 49. Walter Balsam enjoyed a praiseworthy nifty fifty. Satisfying results were achieved by

Bill, Neil, Conrad and Terry. Tom Hyatt’s excellent 44 nipped Bob Freure’s terrific 45 in the silver super seniors. A masterful 43 was accomplished by Dave la Bonte in our Gold Super seniors and an outstanding 46 was accomplished by Carl Robinson. Other very inspiring results were: Gerry 48, Scotty 49 and Erle 53. We are planning a scramble at the end of September. We should be able to play our games, follow social distancing, get a delicious lunch, obtain prizes, etc. More information will be provided soon.

1937 Hudson in local paper inspires this column

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk

This photo from the Kingsville Archives appeared on page six of the Southpoint Sun on August 5 with caption: “Lawrence Olsen and Bruce Arner with two Windsor lady friends in the early 1940s. Note the open door.” This prompted an email from Lloyd Grandmaison of Kingsville: “Good morning, Old Car Detective. I am an 87-year-old car buff, been retired for 28 years after working 30 years at Chrysler. I worked on the first minivan (paint). I said it wouldn’t fly. “In the photo with two couples with an old car, I think it is a vintage French Peugeot. They built cars with doors opening from the front. What do you think?” The grille on the car identifies it as a 1937 Hudson which had front opening doors. The Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit operated a plant in Tilbury, Ontario, from 1932 to 1954. Two series were built in 1937, a flathead six with 101 hp and a flathead straight eight with 122 hp. Factory list prices ranged from $975 for the six cylinder 3-passenger coupe to $1385 for the eight cylinder long wheelbase touring sedan. Two optional features were available in all Hudsons that year: the Electric Hand (forerunner of automatic transmissions) and a hydraulic hill-holder which prevented the car from rolling backward on a hill when you took your foot off the brake to step on the gas. Other features included an all-steel roof, safety glass in windshield and ventilating panes, adjustable steering column, adjustable front and back seats, and radial safety control for the “Rhythmic Ride.” A bracket on the passenger side of the front bumper held the front license plate, which is missing in the photo. No front plates were issued in Ontario
