Andy, but never imagined she’d win the big draw. Her interest in motorcycles goes back to the 1970s. She’s been a licensed motorcycle rider for about 43 years. Maureen met with the Hogs committee at Erie Shores Hospice last Tuesday evening to receive her cheque. She then met Oswald at the CIBC in Leamington on Wednesday morning to make the deposit. “It’s still hard to believe,” said Maureen. “This is well appreciated, more than you realize.” As for the future, Maureen plans to move out of the hamlet of Desbarats, just east of Sault Ste. Marie and head south to Leamington in the coming months. That plan makes her son — and the Hogs committee — very happy. Maureen — all smiles — couldn’t be happier herself. “You guys are amazing for all that you’ve done,” she said.”

Leamington Regional Food Hub brings dream to reality By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Dozens of guests gathered at the new Leamington Regional Food Hub on Talbot Street West last Thursday, August 12 for the grand opening of the facility. Although they’ve been producing the ‘Leamington Veggie Box’ since May, the event gave local dignitaries and donors a glimpse into how things are done. A short tour of the facility showed the volunteers working at packing fresh vegetables into boxes for shipment to food banks across Ontario. After the tour, June Muir, CEO of the Unemployed Help Centre (UHC) Hub of Opportunities, took to the stage with several dignitaries to explain what the new hub will mean to hungry people throughout the province. She was quick to credit Vern Toews, who came up with the idea of the food hub and was there to see it through. ‘Papa Vern’ has been instrumental in getting the hub up and running, according to Muir.
Vern Toews’ vision of a local hub that rescues produce from local farms and turns it into food for those in need has now come to fruition as the Leamington Regional Food Hub. Toews told about going to a recent powwow out west where the hub had sent 1,300 veggie boxes just days before. The boxes impacted about 9,000 Indigenous people in need. His reception there was emotional and grateful and he says he met a lot of people who were happy to receive the fresh Leamington vegetables. “We can play a small part in reconciliation with our brothers and sisters up north,” he said. The site was offered to the group by Sterling Group. They offered the 16,000 square foot warehouse on a 12-year lease for $1. Toews said they were able to refurbish the warehouse space to their needs and install the necessary machinery to get them up and running. The site is currently able to produce about 13 semi-loads of vegetables per month and they’ve re-
cently been able to speed up production by three days. The UHC Hub of Opportunities is no stranger to distributing food to those in need in this area. They are the hub for the Windsor Essex Food Bank Association, of which there are 15 members. Food donated by over 80 local farms is taken in, graded, sorted and packaged up at the new facility. They also have a dicing line and freezer to produce packaged frozen vegetables in the very near future. Irek Kuzmierczyk, Member of Parliament for Windsor-Tecumseh, said it best when he said, “It really does take a village.” Kuzmierczyk was quick to acknowledge Muir and her staff for the great work they do on a daily basis and he was amazed at how the Leamington Food Hub came together. “We are simply blown away by the scale and quality of work carried out by the Unemployed Help Centre,” he said.” He then made a funding announcement, bringing more good new to the
hub. “Unemployed Help Centre will be the recipient of $162,240 from the Federal Government to retrofit and purchase new pieces of equipment,” he said. Local MP Dave Epp, from Chatham-Kent-Leamington, told an emotional story of his grandparents, who fled southern Ukraine to Canada and started a farm on Mersea Rd. 1 so many years ago. Unfortunately, his great-grandparents were to join them,
but did not escape and starved to death in the Ukraine. “This is personal for me,” he said. “No one should go hungry in this country, this region or this town.” Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald was also among the speakers and she was happy to be a part of the process. “This is about knowing that when you have an abundance, you need to share with others less fortunate,” she said. “To be a part of this is truly
heart-warming.” About 91 volunteers were gathered in a very short three months and Dave Crosswell, from the Hub of Opportunities, gave lots of credit to Vern Toews. “Vern proved that dreams do come true,” he said. According to Muir, the Leamington Regional Food Hub will recover four million pounds of food each year. “It takes a team,” she added. “Our staff — Vern — everyone has contributed to this.”
Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Hub of Opportunities Director Dave Crosswell, Essex County Warden Gary McNamara, Vern Toews and MP Chatham-Kent-Leamington Dave Epp examine the production line at Leamington Regional Food Hub.

Trudeau calls snap election St. Clair College moves to mandate vaccines on campus WINDSOR – Following consultations with local and provincial public health experts, St. Clair College will require staff, faculty, students, contractors and campus visitors to be fully vaccinated this fall. The expectation is for staff and students to have received their first dose of a Health Canada or World Health Organization approved COVID-19 vaccine prior to the start of classes which commence on September 7. Staff and students will also be required to receive their second dose of the vaccine within the required minimum period and provide proof that they have done so. This decision follows an earlier announcement requiring vaccinations of students living in residence and for varsity athletes, as well as associated staff. Individuals who cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons or oth-
er grounds protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code can request an accommodation and they will be required to voluntarily disclose their status. Those with exemptions or who do not wish to disclose will be required to undergo rapid testing twice a week. Anyone with a positive test result will require a PCR test to confirm their results of the rapid test and self-isolate at home pending results. St. Clair College will review reports on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance. “St. Clair College is committed to doing our part in increasing the rates of vaccination in our region,” said College President Patti France. “In turn, this will protect not only our college community, but the larger communities in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.”
CKPL seeks public input CHATHAM-KENT – Chatham-Kent Public Library (CKPL) is seeking community input to help to develop its new FiveYear Strategic Plan. Public feedback is important and will help CKPL identify areas where it can improve services and better understand and meet the needs in the Chatham-Kent communities. CKPL recently successfully concluded its Strategic Plan for 2016-2020. Highlights from the plan include: upgraded WiFi
hotspots in all 11 branches, improvements to public network, major renovations in Blenheim and Ridgetown, new paint at Tilbury and Dresden, and new interior signage at all branches to help patrons easily access services and resources. Have your say! CKPL welcomes feedback about programs, children’s services, how you use library space, or what the library of the future looks like to you. Patrons can access the library sur-
vey through “Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent”, CKPL’s website at www.ckpl.ca or on paper at your local branch.
OTTAWA — On Sunday, August 15, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament and trigger an election now scheduled for September 20. The campaign will last for 36 days, which is the minimum allowed by law. Federal opposition leaders have argued against this early election, with Canada’s next election not due until October, 2023. On a national stage, the race will feature leaders Trudeau (Liberal), Erin O’Toole (Conservative) and Jagmeet Singh (NDP) on the main stage with Bloc leader Yves-Francois Blanchet and Green Party leader Annamie Paul rounding out the party hopes. Locally, Dave Epp (Conservative) is the incumbent in Chatham-Kent-Leamington and Chris Lewis (Conservative) being the incumbent in the riding of Essex.
Greg Hetherington was recently acclaimed as the Liberal candidate for Chatham-Kent Leamington, while Liz Vallee is the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate. Dan Gelinas is the NDP choice. In Essex, Tracey Ramsey is running for the NDP while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Beth Charron-Rowberry will represent waves to the crowd in Leamington on Canada Day 2018. the PPC. SUN photo

and other musings
Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away
As time moves along, so many things become obsolete in our lives. For some people, there are things that never become obsolete, but for others, there are things that fall by the wayside as we get older. Looking back through family photo albums, I have to wonder if anyone is keeping photo albums anymore in this day of technology. It’s a shame really, because all of those memories are getting put on an electronic device and some of those images are never seen again. The days of those black-paged photo albums seem to be gone forever. Same with those little cardboard corners that you could buy to hold the photos in
place. I remember looking through my parents’ albums on a regular basis when I was a kid. That connected me to my extended family, some of whom I only know through those old photos. My maternal grandfather died before I was born, so my only image of him is through those old photos. My paternal grandfather had a debilitating stroke when I was very young, so my only memories of him are visiting him afterward, prior to his death. When my kids were young, we kept photo albums and also have lots of loose photos of each of the kids doing various things like playing baseball, visiting Storybook Gardens or just doing normal
kid things in the yard. Birthdays were captured with pictures and videos. Now, the videos are also obsolete. So now, most people under 60 are taking photos with their phones and tablets. With everything being digital, they get stored on these devices for eternity, or at least that’s what we think. That’s certainly what we thought 30 years ago when we were snapping pictures on our old Kodak cameras. Technology is great and I’ve managed to save quite a few photos from years gone by on Facebook, but somehow it’s not the same as leafing through those old photo albums and remembering. If I need to find a picture on my phone,
RIB’S RAMBLINGS Mark Ribble Apple tends to make it more complicated than it should be. It’s cool that everything is instantaneous and you don’t have to wait for film to be developed, but part of the charm is gone from that era. And if we can’t have the charm, what do we have? As Paul Simon said, “Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.”
Celebrating Elvis on the anniversary of his death It was two days and 44 years ago, on the afternoon of August 16, 1977 that Elvis Presley died. His girlfriend, Ginger Alden, apparently found him lying lifeless on the bathroom floor.
All efforts to revive him failed and he was officially pronounced dead at the Baptist Memorial Hospital at 3:30 p.m. As the reports got out quickly to the various medias of radio, TV and news outlets, by late Thursday afternoon and evening, it seems that just about everybody had heard about it. It truly was one of those ‘where were you when you first heard about it?’ moments. For me, it was around 5:30 p.m. in downtown Toronto at a broadcasting school studio on Queen Street East where I was in the middle of producing an aircheck record-
FLASHBACK RADIO with Chuck Reynolds ing that I could mail out to various radio stations in hopes of starting my career as an announcer or DJ somewhere in Ontario. Initially, I was surprised and shocked. Then, as it really hit me later that evening, I was sad and very disappointed and even mad. Sad because Elvis was my very first music star idol, on radio, that I started listening to around 1960 and onwards. And prior to 1965, I had collected many of his 45s and extended play 45s and also saw all of his movies,

old and new, during the 1960s at the local theatre in Richmond Hill. His movies and songs gave me great pleasure. Why was I disappointed? Well, the man I had admired for so many years wasn’t the same person in the mid 1970s. Seeing footage of him slurring his way through songs and forgetting the words at concerts was hard to comprehend. To me, he was the “King” who ruled the charts from 1957 to the mid-’60s with 17 number one hits and many more top 10 hits than anyone else at that time. Of course, just about everyone took a back seat when the Beatles arrived in 1964.
But forget that. Before he imploded, Elvis made a musical comeback on December 3, 1968 when his one hour televised concert “Singer Presents Elvis” absolutely blew everyone away. Dressed for a portion of the show in his tight black leather outfit with his long and thick sideburns, he looked incredibly cool and good looking. He sang many of his classics, along with some contemporary gems like “If I Can Dream” and “A Little Less Conversation”. Elvis really was indeed back! Even the contemporary Rolling Stone magazine raved about it. Just over a month later, Elvis finally – for the first time ever – made a decision without following his conniving, despicable and greedy manager Colonel Parker’s advice or direction. It would be a decision that changed Presley’s future for the time being. Teaming up with producer Chips Moman and some excellent musicians
and songwriters, including Mac Davis (at the time known as Scott Davis) and Mark James, among others, Elvis came up with a contemporary hit album called “From Elvis in Memphis” featuring “In The Ghetto” and his last #1 hit, “Suspicious Minds”. These were both great contemporary songs. The album was amazing with a fresh mix of rock, pop and country and everything in between. The King had returned! He would go on for seven years past then with some other great hits like “Don’t Cry Daddy”, “Kentucky Rain”, “The Wonder of You” and “Burning Love”. But hearing “Way Down” in 1977 on the radio a month or so before he died seemed a bit off. Something was not right. It was kind of blurry and muddy sounding. When I heard it again that evening on August 16, I knew why. That’s when I was mad and cried.

ERCF Bike Tour returns ESSEX COUNTY – After hosting a virtual event in 2020, the Essex Region Conservation Foundation is ready to welcome hundreds of cyclists to enjoy the “Place for Life” by bike on September 25 for the Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour. Back by popular demand, the tour will once again begin and end at Mettawas Park in Kingsville. “Over the past 18 months, visitation to conservation areas and trails has surged, and so many people have reached out to express their gratitude as these areas were critical to people’s mental and
physical wellbeing,” says Claire Wales, President of the Essex Region Conservation Foundation. “This really reinforces that while there is much we can live without, our need for nature is paramount.” Funds raised from the Bike Tour support local conservation efforts, and the event is ideally suited for individuals, teams and families interested in health and wellness to explore the region’s fantastic trails and safe road routes. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 25, with enhanced cyclist health and safe-
ty protocols. Riders will choose one of five different routes catering to all skill levels. Road routes will range from approximately 60 kilometres to 110 kilometres, while Greenway riders can choose from a 15 km, 32 km or 60 km trail experience. The tour will conclude with a lakefront lunch of delicious local foods. Bike shops and cycling groups will also be part of the celebration. Registration for the Essex Conservation Bike Tour is open and available online at http://essexregionconservation. ca/bike-tour.
2021 Terry Fox Run KINGSVILLE – September is just around the corner and so is the 41st anniversary of Terry Fox Runs across Canada. Kingsville’s Terry Fox Run – “One Day. Your Way!” – is slated for Sunday, September 19. Once again it will be a virtual run, not an in-person event. Last year the Kingsville site raised just over $10,000, and organizers hope that Kingsville and the neighbouring communities will meet that challenge again this year. Participants can run, walk, bike, urban pole, swim, skateboard or do any other activity of their choosing, anywhere and anytime of the day, on September 19 in support of the Kingsville site for the Terry Fox Run. It isn’t an ideal way to celebrate Terry’s Mara-
thon of Hope achievement from 41 years ago when he ran 5,375 kilometres in 143 days, but organizers urge participants to “Try like Terry”! To register as a participant, create a virtual team (family, friends, co-workers) or to donate to the
Kingsville virtual Terry Fox Run, go to www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/ kingsville To join a team or make a pledge, go to www.terryfox.ca/MFit All funds will be credited to the Kingsville site.

County projects million dollar surplus for 2021 By Ron Giofu Essex County council is projected to have a seven-figure surplus at year’s end, according to its treasurer. Sandra Zwiers, the director of financial services/treasurer with the County of Essex, said they have actual results until the end of June and a projection until the end of 2021 forecasts a surplus of approximately $1,015,020. Zwiers stated in her report that her projections are predicated on “a number of significant assumptions” such as favourable resolutions to various outstanding wage-related matters within collective bargaining groups, winter control activities remaining within the five-year average, social services caseloads and social housing remaining favourable, no significant tax write-offs, stable returns regarding the county’s investment portfolio, and the impacts of COVID-19 remaining at projected levels for the rest of 2021. The county’s community services department is projected to have a $8,030 surplus but the Sun Parlour Home in Leamington is projected to have a
deficit of $91,420, according to Zwiers’ report. “The operational cost pressures from COVID-19 remain significant. Staffing costs for co-horting, additional PPE, screening/swabbing and enhanced cleaning protocols are projected to continue through to the end of the year,” stated Zwiers. “The Ministry of Long-Term Care (MLTC) flowed support funds through a number of specific programs to offset pandemic related costs; however, funding announcements have only been confirmed to June. The projection assumes these costs will be funded to the end of the year by either additional MLTC grants or the use of the Corporation’s allocation of Safe Restart dollars.” EMS operations continue to be impacted by the response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, she added, with that department projected to have a $344,710 surplus. “Certain capital projects planned in the 2021 Budget will need to be deferred to 2022 due to ongoing pandemic related resource and vendor constraints. The deferral of these projects is antic-
ipated to generate a net surplus of $241,410,” she noted. Zwiers added regarding EMS: “The Ministry of Health has confirmed pandemic related funding only to March 2021. The projection assumes all pandemic related op-
erating costs to year end will be offset by provincial and/or federal funding either directly from the Ministry of Health or through the application of the Corporation’s Safe Restart funds.” Zwiers reported the largest driver of the pro-
jected surplus for general government relates to the return on investment within the county’s investment portfolio. “The Corporation’s projected financial position is based on six months of activity with significant uncertainty regard-
ing budget performance for social services, social housing, EMS, Sun Parlor Home, infrastructure services and outstanding contract/wage settlements and pay/internal equity adjustments,” Zwiers’ report added.

Rehabilitation services for children and youth get funding CHATHAM-KENT — The Ontario government is investing $240-million over four years to increase access to critical rehabilitation services for children and youth with special needs to help them live happier and healthier lives. This investment is part of the 2021 Budget, Ontario’s Action Plan: Protecting People’s Health and Our Economy. “Our children’s future has always been one of this government’s priorities,” said Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington. “Ensuring they have access to the services they need, such as the new programs that will be made available from this
funding, we can prioritize their success in life. This will directly have a positive impact throughout Chatham-Kent and surrounding communities.” As part of this investment, $60-million in new funding will be provided annually starting this year to build additional service capacity and increase access to preschool speech and language services and community-based and school-based rehabilitation services across the province. “We know early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes for children and youth. By improving access to assessments and early intervention services, children can begin receiving
the services they need sooner,” said Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. “We are making these investments, so every young person has the best opportunity to achieve their life goals and be set up for success.” As part of the $60-million in new annual funding, the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent will receive $842,525. These investments will improve service experiences and outcomes for children and youth with special needs and their families across the Chatham-Kent region.

County pressing for review of regional social housing formulas By Ron Giofu Essex County Council has not only approved moving ahead with eight affordable housing units in Leamington, but they also want a review of social housing funding formulas for the entire region. County council approved the pre-commitment of $48,000 in its operating budget for the next 20 years support what is known as the Round 2 Rapid Housing Initiative project for The Bridge, which would help fund the creation of four units supported through The Bridge’s youth case management services and another four units to serve priority populations as rental housing. However, while county officials were supportive of the creation of the units in Leamington, they also want much more done
across the entire region. “In the 22 years since the funding formulas for Ontario Works, Child Care and Social Housing were arbitrated, the need for new affordable housing units has increased within the region, however, there has not been any concerted discussions proposing a regional strategy to address affordable housing initiatives and no discussion on how both capital and operating costs of new affordable housing units would be funded,” said director of council and community services/ clerk Mary Birch. “It is the hope that more capital funding opportunities, such as the RHI, will make it possible to develop more affordable housing projects within the region, however, in order to meet tight funding application deadlines in the

He pointed out the county’s population is close to that of Windsor but “the county gets left out” with regards to funding sometimes. “It’s almost us versus them,” he said, as he called on Ottawa and Queen’s Park “to look at the bigger picture.” Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald believed the solution may have to “be driven by us” where local municipalities will have to do the work and then go to the city looking for funding. “We’re going to have to bang the table,” said MacDonald. MacDonald recalled being told affordable and social housing is not in the jurisdiction of local municipalities but she said they may have to change as they have to take care of their residents. “It’s not an easy solu-
tion,” added LaSalle Mayor Marc Bondy. “We don’t have enough money in the county (to deal with the issue) and we don’t have enough money in the city.” Doing anything they can to enhance the message and show data on the matter was promoted by Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos, noting there is an immediate need. Jelena Payne, commissioner of community development and health services with the City of Windsor, said “the way the system is designed is for the masses.” She noted that many times, the pathway to housing can be through shelters but that is a temporary solution until housing is found. Debbie Cercone, executive of housing and children’s services with the City of Windsor, said the county’s stock of housing units has risen by 330 in recent years and there is a recognition in Windsor that Essex County is growing.

Leamington Flyers’ prospects watch with anticipation during Saturday’s evaluation camp. After playing only a handful of games last fall, the Flyers look to build on a successful 2019-20 season, but have lost some key members of their lineup. The GOJHL season begins September 24.

Noticeable absentees on the ice at this “We were an older team (in 2019-20), year’s evaluation camp were Maddux we had eight 20-year-olds and now we
return with three 20-year-olds,” says Solcz. Besides having to rebuild a roster, Solcz has had to find a new head coach as Cam Crowder, who guided the club to a 38-9-1-2 record, just eight points back of front running London, has opted not to return. The GM will be making that announcement in the very near future. Look for Wyatt O’Neil to carry a bulk of the offensive load this season. The forward looked strong on the ice over the weekend and the Flyers hope the veteran can duplicate or better his numbers of 2019-20, which included 24 goals and 32 points.
“Just because they haven’t been able to play, they are working very hard. I am happy with the group we have,” said Scholz Returnees on the ice at the evaluation camp were defensemen Ryan Clark and Koen Taves, along with forwards O’Neil, Julien Gervais, Sylvain Lessard, Gavin Grundner, Darby Lemieux, Gabe Piccolo, Nick Beneteau, Jason Daraiche and Kale Couvillon. Expect last year’s outstanding netminder Ryan Polidori, who had three shutouts to go along with a 2.42 GAA, to return. The GOJHL season begins Sept. 24.

Rob Perry’s cool ‘67 Firebird
Last month, we featured the 1960 Valiant owned by Rob Perry in Essex. His other classic is a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. Both cars were built in their first year of production. The Firebird was Pontiac’s answer to the Mustang, which arrived in April 1964. GM responded with the 1967 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. These two cars and the Mustang had a very striking profile: a long hood suggesting horsepower and a short rear deck. “I didn’t want a Camaro,” says Rob. “Everyone has one. I wanted something different and the Firebird was it!” Rob bought his Firebird in 1991 following a tip from a friend who saw it parked in a driveway in LaSalle. The car was for
sale and Rob snapped it up for $3,000. The car was not driveable and over the Bill Sherk next several years, Rob solid aluminum chrome rebuilt it.

MICHAEL LALIBERTE SOCCER FIELD UNVEILED
WHEATLEY — The Michael Laliberte Memorial Soccer Field was unveiled in Wheatley on Tuesday, August 10 as several local soccer enthusiasts and residents attended. Wheatley Minor Soccer President Christine Hopper gave a moving speech, as did Gary Dault, who spearheaded the idea to name the field after Michael, who was a dedicated referee and player who passed away last year. Michael’s family was also in attendance, and after the unveiling several of the people in attendance enjoyed a pickup game of soccer on the field. Above are Gary Dault, Erin Medeiros (Michael’s mom), Dennis Medeiros (Michael’s dad), Christine Hopper. In front is Michael’s sister, Sofia Medeiros. Photo submitted
