By Mark Ribble As the calendar turns to the one-year anniversary of the Wheatley explo sion, that same calendar turns from summer to fall with the impending retirement of Wheatley’s only remaining physi cian, Dr. David Eaton. Dr. Eaton’s departure at the end of this year will leave 1,400 Wheatley-area patients without a home town doctor for the first time.Dr. Eaton practices as part of the Thamesview Family Health Team (TVFHT) and has been the primary care practi tioner in Wheatley for 47 years.About three years ago, an application was made to the Ministry of Health to begin the process of getting a replacement or at least funding for a nurse practitioner in the Wheatley office. Apparently, that application has not yet made its way to the Min ister of Health. In fact, they are now faced with starting over as the orig inal application hasAccordingexpired. to Wheatley phar macist Mike Un tch, the process was started in Jan uary 2020 when he was able to meet with officials from TVFHT and get the appli cation process started. Another meeting to further discuss the issue was scheduled for March 2020, but the COVID pandemic put an abrupt pause to that. “COVID put everything on hold,” said Untch in an interview with the Sun last week. “Then we had an explosion. Now we’re on hold but hope to meet with the TVFHT soon and get things rolling again.”
Except now, there is more of an urgency as Dr. Eaton has indicated he will be done with his practice as of December 31,Untch2022. is part of the Wheatley Task Force which was formed in the wake of the explosion last year and says that the group has been working toward a solution, which includes meeting with provincial officials and talking to everyone they can about what they think is an unfair distribution of medical personnel. “Tilbury has seven doc tors and two nurse prac titioners, with about 1,800 more people than Wheat ley,” he said. “Wheatley will have no doctors or nurse practitioners at the end of this year. How is thatThefair?”Task Force has been pushing for some action on the previous applica tion, which is a complex document, several pages in They’velength. met with Cha tham-Kent Leamington MPP Trevor Jones, who has taken the issue to To ronto. At Dr. Eaton’s office, Nancy Plumb is a longtime physician’s assis tant of Dr. Eaton and she says it’s imperative that Wheatley gets some relief on this issue. “As patients come in, we continue to tell them that the doctor is retiring at the end of the year and they need to find a doc tor,” said Nancy. “Many of them leave in tears, frustrated.”Sheexplained that many of the 1,400 patients are elderly and have been doctoring here for much of their lives and will have trouble adjusting to going out of town for ap pointments.“Alotofour cases can’t be handled by a walk-in clinic,” she says. She also pointed out that Dr. Eaton does a lot of work with The Mead ows of Wheatley retire ment community and those people rely on his office to answer questions and offer much-needed treatment on a regular basis.Nancy believes that Wheatley just doesn’t appear on the radar of most people in the deci sion-making process and that has to change.

“I have been a doctor in Wheatley for over 45 years and my patients are my priority,” he said. “I have postponed my retirement over the last several years because I am very concerned that many of my patients in Wheatley will be left without a family doctor when I “However,retire.” I cannot delay my retirement any longer as we anxiously await answers,” he adds. “This is a very serious sit uation.”Thehope is that enough attention can be brought to Wheatley’s plight that the application process can be expedited and get things in place for Jan uary, either with a new physician or a nurse prac titioner.It’sa tall order, but Nancy Plumb says they are“Ifready.we get the green light, we can be ready quickly,” she said.
“Back when we had our own council, we got things done,” she says. “Now, we’re just a small pea in a very large pod. No one is going to bat for us.”As for Dr. Eaton him self, he says the time has come for him to step aside, but he’s not with out worry about his pa tients and community.

While the waiting is frustrating, the uncertain ty of the situation appears to be the biggest issue for these families. There are those who have been able to move back in and re sume their lives, but just as many who still sit on the outside looking in — playing a never-ending waiting game. And while the Varys feel they are getting really close to a conclusion, the Lambs are still months away from being home. Becky Lamb’s t-shirt summed it up perfectly. It said, “#iwanttogo home.”

The Varys are in their third rental home as they await their return to Foster Street, and Geri says that’s the same for pretty much every one.“There are 13 houses on this street and only six or seven are back in,” she said. “Most of those people have had to move around a bit during these past 12 months.”Gerisaid they were close a few weeks ago, but when the water was turned on, burst pipes flooded their house and ruined the carpets. She walked in one day to a wet, soaking mess. “I cried and cried,” she said. “Look what they’ve done to my home.”

“Nothing’s been done in about three months,” says Becky. “And we real ly can’t get any answers.” Part of that delay, she says, is due to the recent flooding in Leamington, which pulled many of the restoration people away fromTheyWheatley.arecurrently wait ing for a second quote from another restoration company.“Hopefully once that’s done, we will see some progress moving for ward,” she said. “It’s been tooTheirlong.”neighbour Geri Vary is also frustrated with the pace of getting back to her home.

By Mark Ribble Uptown Wheatley will likely never be the same, but one year after the ex plosion that rocked the village to its core, many displaced families have returned to their home while others have not. On Friday, August 26, everyone in the village will stop for a moment to remember exactly what they were doing when the explosion happened. Some were working in the immediate area, while others were home mak ing or eating dinner. Still others may have been en joying some leisure activ ities or may not have been home when it happened. A full 12 months have come and gone and while progress has been made for some, there are still several families who ha ven’t returned to their homes for various rea sons.The current evacuation zone still keeps a couple of families at bay, while insurance and restoration issues are thwarting many others. So, where does every one go from here? Well, the workers en trusted with correcting the issues and mitigat ing chances that it may happen again have been working hard drilling, plugging and capping for months now. For the residents, they have been ultra-patient during a process that they realize has to be done right and not just have a band-aid applied. Becky and Bugsy Lamb were among the most hard-hit of any of the res idents. Their Foster Street home survived the initial blast but was overtaken by raw sewage and mas sive amounts of mold over the course of the past 12“Heremonths.it is a year later and we’re still not close to getting back in,” said Becky last week. The couple has moved five times in the interim as their rental agreements expire from place-toplace.Their frustration lies in the pace that things are being done. When the Sun last spoke with them back in April, they’d just watched 8,400 gallons of sewer water and waste being pumped from their basement and were await ing word from restoration companies on getting things rolling with reno vations.Aninitial clean-up was done, they say, with ev erything being removed from the home, including the basement drywall. Large fans and drying machines now run inside the house, but mold is still quite visible on the walls and ceilings on the main floor.

Happy 125 years to Hillman Church, who’s congregation celebrated the milestone this past Sunday. I have a connection to Hill man Church, even though I’ve probably not set foot in there more than once or twice in my entire life. When that first service was held in August if 1897, I’m going to assume that my great-grandparents — and perhaps my grandfather — were in attendance. My grandfather, Forest (Pat) Ribble, was born in 1892 and would have been about five when the church opened. Over the years, the church has been celebrated at every milestone and although many local churches are closing amid dwindling congregation numbers, Hillman soldiers on. It’s probably that rural up bringing that keeps the people coming back.
On a recent visit to Lakeside Park in Kings ville, on a hot July day, my daughter Juliana and I found some shade in side a gazebo. And that is where we met Dom inique Valarde and his wifeTheElizabeth.conversation soon turned to old cars and I asked Dominique if he re called the first car he rode in. He said he rode in his dad’s Model A Ford fourdoor sedan when he was only a small child in the earlyDominique1950s. had a brother several years older who borrowed his dad’s Model A and along with two friends went for a drive. The car stalled on the railway tracks on the Arner Town Line with a train approaching. All three boys climbed out and pushed the car off the tracks just before the train roared by. With no one in the car to steer, it rolled down the road and into a Luckily,ditch. it was res cued from the ditch and put back on the road so Dominique could ride in it several years later. The Model A Ford was built from 1928 to 1931 with many still on the road. The Model A Ford photo comes from Paul Wilson, who lives in Newfoundland. It’s very fitting that we have a pho to from that province to First car ride in Model A Ford go with this story. New foundland became our tenth province on March 31, 1949, and Dominique was born five days later! Always looking for sto ries. Email billtsherk@sym patico.ca

ThereRoad.were stories of a years-long feud with the Wig fields, who lived just west of the Ribble farm on that trian gular piece of land where Deer Run and Fox Run now come together.Years ago, my late uncle Don told me about the feud and how they weren’t allowed to play with the Wigfield kids, even though they all probably had to walk to school together. They went to the Hillman School, which still stands to day. I told someone last week that I’d love to go inside that school someday, just to get a feel of my dad and all of the other relatives who attended there.Ican’t imagine what it’s like inside and all of the wildlife that has taken refuge in there over the years. I’d probably be disappointed that it may not be what I’m looking for but it would be interesting to find out.Inside the church, I’m told there are school honour rolls, some of which have my dad’s name on them. What a piece of history, when you think about it. The stories that those Ribble siblings could tell are things that old books of folklore are madeTalbertof.

After hearing about Ol ivia Newton-John’s death at 73 years of age, like so many others I felt a deep sadness knowing that she brought so much joy to the pop world of mu sic in the ’70s and ’80s. John Travolta even wrote a beautiful note on Insta gram which, in part, said, “Your Impact was incred ible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be to gether again.” Born on September 26, 1948 in Cambridge, England, Olivia and her family moved to Austra lia in 1953. When she was 16, she won a talent con test trip to England where she sang with Pat Carroll in the duet called Pat & Olivia. But her road to success really began with the release of her first sin gle, ‘If Not for You’, in 1971.Let’s remember what a great pop vocalist she was, too. It was uniquely hers and her range suited just about everything she sang. And, while it was 51 years ago, I still remember when I first heard New ton-John’s debut song on Chum radio in Toronto in the summer of 1971 when she sang ‘If Not for You’. I knew the song well as it was written by Bob Dylan and recorded on George Harrison’s ‘All Thing’s Must Pass’ album that I got for Christmas in 1970. What a start it made reaching #25 on Bill board’s Hot 100, #1 on America’s AC charts and #3 in Canada. With things slowly heating up, in 1973, Olivia’s song, ‘Let Me Be There’, hit the top 6 in the U.S., #3 on the Adult Contemporary charts and #7 on Ameri can Country charts. Then her release of ‘If You Love Me (Let Me Know)’, reached the top 5. However, Olivia’s next two songs, ‘I Honestly Love You’ and ‘Have You Never Been Mellow’, both hit the top of the charts while ‘Please Mr. Please’ was right behind at #3 in the year of 1975. Things slowed down a bit in 1976 and 1977 but on June 16, 1978, ‘Grease’ — starring Newton-John and Travolta – was re leased in North America and it went crazy, going on to become the most successful movie musical of all time. With that film came some great pop songs, too, including ‘You’re The One That I Want’ featur ing Travolta and New ton-John, ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’ with Ol ivia and ‘Summer Nights’ featuring Travolta, New ton-John and the cast. Combined, those three songs were on the Bill board Hot 100 charts for over a year with their in credible total of 59 weeks.

While “Grease” was an amazing success at the box office, in 1980, anoth er movie starring Olivia, Michael Beck and Gene Kelly called “Xanadu”, which featured music from Electric Light Or chestra, wasn’t very suc cessful.Onthe other hand, the music was booming with three terrific songs, ‘Mag ic’, ‘Xanadu’ featuring Olivia and E.L.O., and ‘Suddenly’ with Olivia and Cliff Richards all do ing well on the berdown‘Magic’charts.heldnumoneforfour weeks. But the very best was yet to come in the fall of 1981 when ‘Physical’ be came one of the longest reigning songs ever on Billboard’s Hot 100, be ing on their charts for six months and #1 for 10 weeks. As an encore, through the mid-80s Ol ivia had three more of her songs, ‘Make A Move on Me’, ‘Heart Attack’ and ‘Twist of Fate’ all reach the top five or better in the Top Looking100. back at her amazing career, Olivia Newton-John had an in credible 42 songs on the Billboard’s Hot 100 charts and the admiration of millions of fans, that also included me.

IN MEMORIAM Snook, Maurice Y. God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me.” You suffered much in silence Your spirit did not bend, You faced your pain with courage, Right to the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us, Your fight was all in vain; God took you in His loving arms, And freed you from your pain. Our hearts all ache with sadness Our silent tears still flow For what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know,

With youthful exuberance, lobball and pickle ball players congregate on Thursday nights at the Wheatley recreation complex for bragging rights and possibly a cold beverage afterwards. Pickleball, a relatively new sport featuring a mix of tennis and badminton, is played at the tennis courts with 20 players signed up. Average turnout is around 12 each week with players rotating in and out of games to reduce strain on some aging bones and muscles. The league encourages new players to come out and give this entertaining game a try. Here, Janis Willan and Jamie Stickney attempt to return serve as they square off against Scott and Donna Makey.

Leamington’s Past courtesy of the C. Scott Holland Collection
Aug. 12 (1988) - Eric Slater (centre), a former Leamington Works Department foreman, was honoured by the Leamington District Fair Board. He receives a plaque from Fair Board president Mike Pettapiece (right) and Mersea Township Reeve Clinton Tofflemire (left).
Newspapers have been a vital part of most communities for nearly two centu ries and it is not surprising that a history of Leamington’s own newspapers dates back to before it became a village. Leamington had not been granted village status when William McSween debuted the first issue of his Erie Post newspaper on May 28, 1874. The paper changed its name to the Leamington Post two years later when the village’s first council took office. McSween had invested $600 and pro duced a small sheet of 28 columns but in 1875 Charles H. Fox became the paper’s owner; McSween would re-acquired it in 1876. During those early years there were many ownership changes. Mr. F. Fair purchased it from McSween and took Bryon Lane as a partner. After a short time, the two men then sold the newspaper to a Mr. Green who hailed from Toronto. In turn, Green sold his in terests to H.T. Magill who subsequently lost the newspaper business in the spec tacular May 1883 fire which leveled all but a couple of buildings in Leaming ton’s downtown business section. De spite having the printing establishment rebuilt, it burned to the ground again in 1885. Upon Magill’s death, J.E. Johnson purchased the paper and in 1888 sold it to the firm of Wigle and Williams. The following year, Johnson and J.F. MacKay purchased it, plus bought out the rival Leamington Tribune and thus estab lished the Post Printing Company. By the time Leamington was incorpo rated as a town in 1890, another weekly called the Leamington News published a paper. The two newspapers battled for readership over a span of 20 years but the small town of Leamington couldn’t support two newspapers. The News folded in 1910. Upon the News’ demise J.E. Johnson and A.A. Whitwam amal gamated it with the Post and thus the Leamington Post and News was born. Future Leamington mayor Phil.H. Fader became associated with paper’s management in the 1920s and guided the paper through typesetting and font changes, plus added a feature writer, Earl Robson, who reflected on life in and around Leamington. In 1949, W.A. McKenzie acquired it and was the publisher until 1966 when Thomson Newspapers became its own ers. In the mid-1950s, Peter Drake became the publisher. The paper’s editor, Tony Duncan, would not only hold that po sition for quite some time, he would become the paper’s publisher in 1974 when Mr. Drake retired. Duncan remain its publisher until Bowes Publishers Ltd. took over in June 1993. Mike Thibodeau was its editor from 1974 until his retire ment about 2010. Bowes also published the weekly Leamington Shopper, which had been started by the late Jack Greswell. Em ployees of Bowes Publishing and the TorSun purchased the company in 1996, but in 1998 Toronto Sun Corporation sold the paper to Quebecor. The newspaper’s location has been in a variety of spots, most of which were in the downtown core, including Talbot St. W. and E., Erie St. N., the corner of Mill St. E. and Princess, and then its final site on Oak St. ModernizingWest.the printing plant was a huge part of its continued success and sustainability. Sadly, its printing press es were removed in 1995 and sent to St. Thomas during extensive renovations at the Mill St. E. and Princess St. facility which had been erected next to the orig inal Princess St. site in 1971. Despite downsizing its staff and op erations, the newspaper fared well and held its own for two years after the Southpoint Sun hit the market. But as revenues and readership dwindled, Quebecor unexpectedly shuttered three Essex County newspapers all on the same day in December 2012. One of the others hit was the Amherstburg Echo, one of the province’s oldest newspapers. The owners of the Southpoint Sun have ensured that a newspaper remains in Leamington when it moved its offices to Talbot St. East. Today the Sun continues to deliver the news and other features on a weekly basis and supplies Leamington and area with news stories, insightful pieces and photographs all relating to the weekly events that affect the local community.

Children took to the soccer fields this past weekend for the Sun County Soccer Wind-Up Tournament at the Nature Fresh Soccer Complex. On Saturday, the U7 Di vision Leamington Light ning team played hard. In their first game against Essex, pressure from Kali Gutierrez and Elijah Fehr on defense kept the goals-against to only a single point in the first half, while impres sive speed from Mason Lalonde and crisp pass ing from Ethan Williams in the second half helped lead Leamington to a 5-1 victory.Intheir second game against Kingsville, the combined goalkeeping of Nolan Aguedz and Liam Policella proved a tough obstacle for the opposi tion, leading to a 5-0 shut out for the Leamington team.These games ended an impressive season for the U7 Lightning, who were also the victors of July’s Colasanti Cup.
