Ohio boaters pulled from lake
By Mark Ribble KINGSVVILLE — Two Ohio men are in hospital and another is counting his lucky stars after a harrowing night on Lake Erie on Labour Day weekend. What started out as a cruise from Put-In-Bay to Vermillion, Ohio, ended near the shores of Kingsville. The trio’s boat ran into trouble as the storms came up late Sunday night into Monday morning, and the waves carried the 32-foot pleasure craft all the way to Canadian waters, partially capsizing it in the process. The boaters had no idea they were in Canada. With the U.S. Coast Guard unable to locate the trio, a GPS signal was picked up on this side of the lake and Kingsville Fire Department sent their rescue boat out into heavy waves. According to Kingsville Fire Chief Chuck Parsons, their marine rescue boat capsized as well, and two Kingsville firefighters had to be treated at hospital for minor injuries. “Thankfully, our guys were wearing PFDs and emergent suits,” said Parsons.

Two of the three Americans were eventually brought to shore by the waves and plucked from the rocks by Kingsville Fire personnel, with the third being picked up in the water. The condition of the two hospitalized
boaters was not available at press time. The heavily-listing boat was still bobbing against the rocky shoreline near Kingsville Harbour on Monday afternoon. Plans were underway to retrieve it and get it back to the United States.

vourite Feud family. Jerry DeGoey is the oldest brother, and his siblings include Brenda Belleau, Rosemary Cobby, Deborah DeGoey-Zsebok, Monique Hall and Tony DeGoey Jr. “Our parents would have been ecstatic to see all of their kids working together on a game show like this, on live television no less,” said Monique. Tony Senior and Denise were long-time fans of Family Feud, watching regularly from their living room. “We watched it all the time when we were kids as we only got a few stations living out in the country,” says Monique. “It brings back a lot of fond childhood memories, and it was a fun break from picking tomatoes!” They sent in their application a few weeks ago and got a call from CBC recently, asking for an audition video. That’s when the brainstorming began. “We wanted to find a fun way to present our family,” said Monique. After some ideas thrown back and forth, Monique made the trip from her home in Cambridge to join her siblings in Leamington for a weekend of fun and creativity. What they produced was a song, co-written by all six siblings, to the tune of the Brady Bunch theme. Of course, the tune is called The Degoey Bunch. They sing about growing up in Leamington, wearing wooden shoes and picking tomatoes. The catchy video was then submitted to CBC’s Family Feud Canada and now the waiting begins.
