Hogs for Hospice - back in the saddle

By Mark Ribble The Hogs for Hospice Motorcycle Rally weekend was all it was advertised as patrons, concertgoers and residents all enjoyed being ‘back in the saddle.’ Thousands came to Seacliff Park to enjoy the vendors, events and concerts. About 1,900 bikes were registered and most of them made their way to the tip of Point Pelee, back to Kingsville and then returned to Seacliff Park on Saturday after the registered ride. Residents lined Robson Road, Point Pelee Drive and Seacliff Drive as they anxiously awaited the enormous group of motorcycles during the ride. Hogs for Hospice board member Joe Oswald was thrilled with the way the weekend turned out. The group of board members took to the concert stage on both Friday and Saturday nights and thanked the crowds, the bands, the volunteers and sponsors for making the weekend such a success. About 4,000 attended Friday night’s concerts, where Vertical Horizon opened for rock legends The Cult. Saturday, the amphitheatre area was jammed with a soldout crowd of about 6,000 country music lovers as Blackjack Billy opened for country music star Brett Young. Oswald announced that every dollar from every concert ticket sold goes to Erie Shores Hospice, made possible by the generosity of the sponsors, who covered the costs of all bands performing. Throw in the annual Biker Rodeo and a new Junior

Biker Rodeo this year, sponsored by the Bad Examples Motorcycle Club and the Cannabis Retail Store, and you’ve got the makings of some great family fun. A delicious pancake breakfast cooked by the Lions Club greeted early-risers on Saturday and Sunday mornings. A high-flying moto-cross group performed several times at the top of the hill on Seacliff Drive to the delight of hundreds of thrill-seeking fans. Oswald said the weekend wouldn’t be possible without their volunteers. “Those Hogs for Hospice Ambassadors make this the success it is,” he said. “There are about 420 of them and they are invaluable.” The H4H Ambassadors could be seen throughout the park and surrounding streets, offering directions, assistance and even cold bottled water to anyone in need. The weekend went off without a hitch and the weather was perfect for a summer event at the beach. It also gave a huge kick-start to the Hogs for Hospice 50-50 raffle, which went from a grand total of $50,000 to just over $220,000 by Tuesday’s press time. In the top right photo, country music star Brett Young headlined Saturday night’s concert, which turned into a sold out show attracting 6,000 music lovers. In the photo to the left, one of the trick riders makes a jump onto the ramp that was set up on Seacliff Drive. More photos appear in the centrespread (pages 12-13) of this issue.

Council okays by-law amendment for LDSS land By Mark Ribble Leamington Council has approved a by-law amendment which will allow the development of the old Leamington District Secondary School property on Talbot Street West to move forward. Application number 258 will allow for future development by establishing the permitted types of residential and non-residential uses within the property. It will also allow a zoning provision for each type of building on the property and place the property in a holding zone until such time a site plan is developed. Earlier this spring, council saw a conceptual plan for the property which included a six-storey apartment building, single detached homes and townhomes. Mayor Hilda MacDonald wondered if the site plan will come back to council for approval. “Many times when we have a controversial plan, council has asked for the site plan to come back,”

she said. “I believe as a group, we have a vision that may or may not be able to be achieved, but if we can do the best we possibly can, I’d like to see that happen.” According to administration, there would be opportunities for council to review the plan, first at the plan of subdivision and then have final approval on the site plan. The site plan would not go through the public consultation process. Right now, the Request for Proposal is still out, where developers can submit plans to take over the property and develop it. The property was purchased by the municipality from the school board in 2020. As part of the public consultation process at this step, two neighbours came forward to speak about the by-law amendment process, which will in effect change the zoning from institutional to residential. Neighbour Tonie Sel-

wood spoke in favour of the development, saying that it was welcomed. Another neighbour — Don Mouck — had questions about sewer separation, traffic issues and storm run-off onto his Smith Avenue property. Leamington’s Director of Infrastructure Service, Rob Sharon assured Mr. Mouck that traffic should not see a significant increase on Smith Avenue as there is no plan to connect to Smith. He also said that planned road improvements on Smith and Hodgins will not be off-loaded onto the taxpayer, but sewer separation plans will be charged to the homeowners, as was already set out in Leamington’s Master Plan. After some discussion the by-law amendment was passed, essentially opening the door for developers to come forward and turn the property into the envisioned residential neighbourhood outlined earlier this spring.

Village Pantry lets customers pay it forward By Greg Coulter As the one-year anniversary approaches of the devastating downtown gas explosion, the Wheatley Resource Centre at 108 Talbot St. East continues to serve as a central hub for all the various gifts and talents to come together and be shared amongst those hurting from this traumatic event. The location has served as a home to the Wheatley Area Food Bank, the village wardrobe and household items depot, the village internet café, the Saturday Harvest Market, the office of the Wheat-

ley Baptist Church, Chatham-Kent Employment and Social Services, and the Chatham-Kent Wheatley Library depot. On Saturday, July 30, the centre held a grand opening of the Village Pantry, a unique grocery store with a pay it forward program. The shelves are stocked with a wide variety of grocery items including dairy, canned good, staple items, and fresh vegetables. “This is not a food bank,” says CEO Susan Fulmer. “Each item here has a suggested donation price.” “As funds are generat-

ed, the shelves are replenished and many of our current visitors are eager to pay over and above the listed prices,” she added. “With the aid of a very generous business and farming community, many of the products are donated. We also receive a lot of cash donations. A great deal of citizens wants to help and at times they really don’t know how to.” Susan noted that the excess monies are then funnelled to obtain items for the food bank and other social service needs. The food bank has at times

the explosion. As the ceremony finished up, a customer strolled in, picked up some fresh peppers and paid $20. Susan Fulmer expressed her gratitude

saying, “We are most fortunate to live in a very giving community.” The Village Pantry is open Saturdays from 10 am until 2 pm.

Leamington reinstates development fees At its July 26 council meeting, Leamington Council reinstated development fees for any development in the municipality for the next five years. In 2016, council of the day had voted to pause development fees in the municipality to promote growth in development, which at the time had been lagging. Administration has now recommended the reinstatement of development fees for the municipality, effective July 27, 2022. A public consultation process was begun 60 days prior to the meeting with an advertisement that ran in the Southpoint Sun, where the community was invited to participate in the process. Administration received

a few inquiries and comments, and a delegation from the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) was present virtually at the meeting. The development charges would be in effect for five years from the July 27 date and up for review after the five-year term. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke asked if council would be handcuffed by that five-year term. “Can we review those charges in between or are we just going to wait the five years?” he asked. Leamington’s Director of Financial Services, Laura Rauch, confirmed that the fees would remain in place for the five-year period, but that council always has an option to re-open discussion during that span.

She also confirmed that Leamington and one other municipality were the only two in the province not currently charging development fees. To offset that pause in development fees over the past five years, a water buy-in fee was assessed to the greenhouse industry which amounted to about $5,000 per growing acre. That fee would now be abolished in favour of development fees, according to Rauch. “When we did away with development charges, I think it had a positive effect,” said Councillor John Hammond. “But it’s time that development charges got back on the books again.” Aaron Coristine, representing the OGVG, asked council for a five-year freeze on development fees specifically for the

booming greenhouse industry, citing rising costs associated with building greenhouses across the board. “The greenhouse industry is a key economic driver in the region, already experiencing rising costs in fertilizer, energy, transportation and building materials,” he said. “I would question the timing of these fees and what it will do to greenhouse development in the municipality.” Coristine said that this issue presents the municipality and farmers an opportunity to work together moving forward. “These development charges run counter to goals that were put in place by the municipality,” he said. “You’re essentially targeting — through a policy that’s

already passed through — a way to extract more money from farmers.” Corisitine said that the fees already in place with regard to on-farm housing development will take even more money from the farmers. “We’re here to work and collaborate with council,” he said. Councillor Paul Tiessen denied that council is targeting the greenhouse industry. “We’re not targeting any particular industry,” he said. “These charges are across all industries and residences.” Tiessen said that increased costs for roads in particular, make it important for the fees going forward. “How do we put that cost on the taxpayers?” he asked. Over the next five years, according to Rauch, there are $88 million in planned developments within the municipality, with about $10 million of that covered by taxation, leaving quite an amount to make up.

The development fees for greenhouses will sit at about $20,000 per growing acre. Coristine confirmed that the current cost of building a greenhouse is about $2.1 million per acre. The $20,000 fee would represent about a one per cent increase. Mayor Hilda MacDonald spoke in favour of the development fees, saying that Leamington is the only municipality in the region that currently does not charge development fees. “We are not against the (greenhouse) industry,” she said. “We are trying to balance the growth that is happening, between the growth that is needed and who needs to pay for it.” Councillor Tiessen reiterated a statement made earlier in the meeting by saying, “Growth pays for growth.” With that, council voted unanimously to adopt the development fees effective the next morning, July 27.

Live theatre alive and well in Colchester

By Ron Giofu Live theatre is helping a local heritage-based organization raise funds. The Inspired Acting Lab at the University of Windsor’s School of Dramatic Art is teaming with Heritage Colchester to present the Gary Kirkham play “Falling: A Wake” at Christ Church Colchester. A portion of the proceeds will help Heritage Colchester in its efforts to restore the Colchester Schoolhouse across from the church, while the Inspired Acting Lab will use the remainder of the proceeds to buy necessary supplies and materials needed to help build itself up. Director Lionel Walsh The Gary Kirkham play “Falling: A Wake” is being presented by the Inspired Acting Lab from the University of Windsor and Heritage Colchester. The characters Harold and Elsie – played by Carl Gambacort and Meaghen Quinn – discover “The Boy” in their yard, with “The Boy” being played by student actor Jackson Balint. Lionel Walsh is the director. Photo by Ron Giofu

said the play is based on a rural Ontario farm, where a couple is awakened by an explosion. They discover it is a plane crash and find a boy in a plane seat. “It is a gentle comedy,” said Walsh. “It’s also a touching story about the coming to terms with death in our family.” “It’s about letting go,” added Meaghen Quinn, who plays Elsie. Quinn is part of the small cast, which also includes Carl Gambacort as Harold and student actor Jackson Balint as “The Boy.” Walsh pointed out the show is roughly 75 minutes in length. He does a talk with the audience

after the show with ice cream also being served. Quinn stated she enjoys that segment as they have heard a number of stories from audience members where the play has been performed. “We hope the message speaks to people and brings the community closer together,” said Walsh. The lab members say they like smaller settings, and noted they have performed in Lion’s Head and Kirkland Lake as well. Gambacort noted “the wonderful power of the theatre is bringing people together” and Walsh stated the play “Falling: A Wake” causes audience

members to “leave the play with hope.” Getting the audience involved and engrossed with the story is another goal. “Full immersion is our goal,” said Balint, who is also assistant director. “This is a co-production of Heritage Colchester, who approached me in the fall about doing summer theatre here,” said Walsh. “The mission is to bring shows to smaller Ontario towns.” “We’re hoping to create an experience for the

audience that keeps them wanting to come back,” said Quinn. “We want everyone to come back to the theatre.” Noting the Inspired Acting Lab is thankful for the support, donations and grants it has received, Walsh said the lab will continue to tour and plans to be back in Colchester not only this coming weekend, but next year as well. Opening weekend at Christ Church Colchester for “Falling: A Wake” was last weekend. Quinn said they love performing in

Colchester because it gives them a feeling like they are in a similar location to where the play is set. The production of “Falling: A Wake” continues this weekend with shows Aug. 4, 5 and 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 7 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for students and seniors. For information or for tickets, visit www. heritagecolchester.ca or e-mail events.heritagecolchester@gmail.com. Christ Church Colchester is located at 190 Bagot St.

and other musings

We get by with a little help from our friends After two years of the world being shut down, it’s good to know that volunteerism is alive and well in this region. Witnessing what the volunteers did to make local events go off over the weekend gives you a good feeling and we should be proud of each and every one of them. I know all too well that we’re not quite finished with the whole COVID thing, but people came out to do their civic duty in droves over this past weekend. Dubbed the ‘biggest weekend of the summer’ in our newsroom, we already knew that the Hogs for Hospice and Sun Parlour Rodeo committees had put in countless hours of hard work leading up to the events.

Lots of preparation and legwork goes into planning events of that magnitude, which includes gathering the volunteers who will be the face of your festival to the general public. Down at Seacliff Park — and the nearby vicinity — you could see orange shirts emblazoned with the Hogs for Hospice on the front and “Community Ambassador” on the back. About 420 individuals gave their entire weekend in the heat to help the Hogs event go off smoothly and they pulled it off. From ticket takers to road crew volunteers to garbage pick-up, they were there and visible throughout the area. Some even offered cold water

to anyone who needed it. Out at the rodeo, a smaller but equally mighty group packed thousands of people into that rural property on the 4th Concession to watch the rootinest-tootinest cowboy and cowgirl show a lot of people have ever seen in these here parts. The parking and traffic issues were enormous, due to the vast amount of cars showing up at once, yet those volunteers went with the flow and got everyone situated. All over the globe, people volunteer for their community and usually do it for littleto-no recognition. The Southwest Outdoors Club put on their annual Big Boyz Fishing Tournament on the weekend, with a full com-

pliment of club members out to make sure everything went smoothly. Even Mother Nature volunteered to keep the weather palatable during the long weekend. So it takes all kinds to pull these large events off and as someone who did a lot of volunteering in my younger years, I’m grateful to those who gave up their family time on a long weekend to make sure all of us could participate in something fun. Of course, a huge tip of the hat to those who spearheaded these spectacles too. The core groups within each

100-year-old car in a parking lot

The car in the photo has a 1922 Ontario license plate (173.728), thanks to Year of Manufacture (YOM) legislation allowing owners of classic cars to drive with Ontario license plates from the year the car was built if those numbers are not already in use. The license number on this car tells us that in 1922, Ontario had at least 173,728 registered motor vehicles, and probably a lot more. The sight of this license plate (with matching plate at back of car) got me wondering. Could Jim Heyens OWNER

Cook until steaks reach 135°F or desired internal temperature, flipping half way through the cooking process. • Transfer steaks to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes. • Slice against the grain and transfer to a platter. For the tomato-corn salad: • Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender — 4 to 5 minutes total. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs. • In a medium bowl, combine the corn with the Angel Sweet® Tomatoes, poblanos, red onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, and queso fresco. Season to taste with Kosher salt. • Arrange the grilled steak slices on a platter and top with the tomato-corn salad. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and serve.

TWEPI launches My Happy Place campaign

Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI) has launched a campaign called ‘My Happy Place’ at www.myhappleplace. ca to encourage exploration of Windsor, Essex County and Pelee Island. “Whether you already know your happy place or you’re still finding your happy place, there are so many things to see and do in Windsor Essex Pelee Island that are sure to put a smile on your face,” said Gordon Orr, CEO of Tourism Windsor Essex. “My Happy Place will encourage visitors and locals to share their happy place and favourite places in

Windsor-Essex, or to discover new places that they may not have heard about or visited in the past.” Part of the campaign includes the Find Your Happy Place promotion where locals and visitors will be incentivized to explore attractions and businesses through a digital passport. Available now at www.myhappyplace. ca, users can register for the free mobile passport and start earning points for free rewards. It’s easy to participate: 1. Register for the passport with your email and mobile phone number. 2. Visit any of the at-

tractions and businesses located in the digital passport and ‘check in’ using the digital passport and your mobile phone at each location. Earn points the more you explore – one point for each attraction or business. 3. Once you visit either 15 or 25 businesses or attractions, you can redeem points to receive a FREE gift card of your choice. Once registered, participants can ‘check in’ at each business or attraction and earn points towards their free rewards; one point is earned at each check in location, and you can only check in

at each location once per registered passport. Over 100 businesses and attractions are participating in the passport program with over $10,000 in gift cards to be won focusing on the key trip motivators of visitors to Windsor-Essex: Arts & Culture, Entertainment, Food & Drink, and Outdoor Adventure. The myhappyplace.ca landing page also features trip inspiration to help users earn more points, including itineraries, blogs, and discount offers at participating locations. It runs until Oct. 31.

County sees 4.76 per cent increase in insurance rates By Ron Giofu The County of Essex will be seeing a 4.76 per cent increase in its insurance rates, something that is considered good news by many members of county council. County Council approved the report from director of financial services/treasurer Sandra

Zwiers at its July 20th meeting. Zwiers pointed out that County Council passed a motion June 15 to delegate authority to its CAO Mike Galloway to approve, prior to the June 30 expiration date, a County of Essex comprehensive insurance program for the 2022-23 year with a fol-

Betty Wiper

April 1, 1932 – July 30, 2022 Betty Wiper (nee Loop), at age 90, passed peacefully at Erie Shores Hospice, surrounded by her family, on Saturday, July 30, 2022. Beloved wife of Dwain Wiper for 70 years. Loving mother of Terry (Barb), Tim, Louanne Reid, Ted (Debbie), Tammy Pearce (Rick), Todd (Susan), Troy (Darlene), Trevor and Ty (deceased). Grandma of 17 grandchildren, 27 greatgrandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Betty loved attending her children’s sports games and cooking for her large family. She volunteered at the Leamington Hospital for many years. She loved family reunions at the farm (2nd Concession East, Mersea Township). Betty enjoyed many years with Dwain at their cottage on Pelee Island. For many years, Betty worked as bookkeeper for the family business (Dwain Wiper & Sons Esso Farm Dealership), then enjoyed retirement for the last 25 years. Special thanks to Erie Shores HealthCare, 2nd Floor, and Erie Shores Hospice for their wonderful care on her final earth’s journey. Cremation has taken place and a family Funeral Service will be held at Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington, on Friday, August 5 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Erie Shores Hospice or Hillman United Church.

the municipality.” “It continues to be a tough market particularly for municipalities who are not an attractive risk for the industry,” she said. The end result was “encouraging” but Zwiers added “the struggle still remains.” Amherstburg Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche was “pleasantly surprised” by the 4.76 per cent number and wondered if the County had “to give up anything” to get that number. Zwiers said the coverage limits still represent “good value for money” and the county’s deductibles have not changed. “If it comes in closer to three per cent, she’s wearing a magic hat. In today’s times, that’s unheard of,” added LaSalle Mayor Marc Bondy, who told Zwiers, “Job well done.” Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald wasn’t as pleased. “We know how difficult it is to increase taxes and if we bring a 4.76 per cent tax increase, we’re verklempt for lack of a better word,” she said. “The part that bothers me is when you see a 4.76 per cent tax increase, you see your roads

being cleared, your hydro going on, you see your parks being maintained but for insurance, what do we see? That, my friends, I’m sorry but I find this a bitter pill to swallow even though it’s a job well done. It still does not go well.” Warden Gary McNamara added, “It is kind of a bitter pill,” but with double digit increases in other municipalities, he believed county administration did good work. “This is something I think we can sell to our citizens in that regard,” he said. “It’s the protection we need, especially with joint and several liability, it’s good to know we’ve got the right coverage for our municipality, especially when inflation rates are running at 8.1 and 8.2 per cent right now.” McNamara said he was “shocked” to read the report, as he was anticipating a 10-12 per cent increase. “Hopefully next year we can continue to drive it down and hopefully the market will soften, but it’s a tough, tough market to deal with,” said McNamara.

Irene Gaboury

March 7, 1937 – July 17, 2022 Irene Gaboury passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 17, 2022 at the age of 85. She was surrounded by her daughters, Denise, Michele and Janice. Irene had been living in Oakville for the past three years. Most of her life was spent in Leamington. Irene’s legacy begins and continues within her three daughters and their children: Denise and son, William; Michele and daughter, Glynis, and Glynis’s fiancé, Curtis; Janice and husband, Doug, and children, Carter and Rachel. Irene was a sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, and entrepreneur. She will be remembered for her strength, independence, sense of style and fierce love of family. Irene raised her children as a single mother while working full time at Clyde Hatch Clothing and Jackson’s Furniture and Fine China. Irene bravely launched her own successful shop, Andres Gifts, in Leamington at the age of 50. She created memorable relationships with each of her grandchildren. Irene courageously dealt with decades of chronic pain. Throughout her life, Irene held on to her witty sense of humour and sincere interest in others, coining the phrase “Who has more fun than people!” Irene’s legacy will live on in her family and in the memories of all those she touched. Respecting Irene’s wishes, no formal service will be held.

Rodeo attracts record crowds on both nights

By Mark Ribble The return of the Sun Parlour Rodeo was a huge success this year with sold out shows on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31. The 19th annual event brings the total donated to local charities over the years to over a half million dollars. The Pavao and Carvalho families took to the stage during the shows to thank those in attendance and the numerous sponsors who make the rodeo possible each year.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID restrictions, rodeo fans flocked to the property on County Rd. 18 in droves. For the first time ever, they had to turn people away at the gate. When the show began, it was non-stop action from Rawhide Rodeo Company and their cowboys, cowgirls and animal athletes. While the totals are not yet available, organizers expect a large sum to be donated to local charities.

Cedar Beach Drug Store, owned by Red Morris, Photo courtesy of the Kingsville Archives offered drugs, toiletries, china and souvenirs for sale as well as providing a luncheon menu. Speed boat rides were available from the Cedar Beach Drug Store for 50 cents a ride for summer visitors renting a cabin or for cottagers not owning a boat. The boats could be taken through the placid canal or out into the rougher waters of Lake Erie. This photograph of an unidentiﬁed family, standing outside the Cedar Beach Drug Store, was taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s.

Southpoint Sun - 21

Big Boyz tournament draws about 400 anglers By Greg Coulter Wheatley Harbour ended the month of July exactly as it started — with a hub of activity. From July 28 through August 1, the Southwest Outdoors Club (SWOC) played host to their annual walleye and salmon tournament. Over 400 anglers set their lines in hopes of reeling in the big one and taking home a share of the purse, totalling over $8,000. Up for grabs was the top payout of $1,500 for each of the longest catch in the two categories, with nine more payouts up for the taking. Daily long catch for each species also figured in the prize money. With the assistance of many sponsors, the big winner, however, is the youth of the area that are interested in outdoor nature activities. The club’s objective with funds raised is to promote sustainable hunting and fishing activities. Their popular spring show features a large fishing pond set up for youngsters to try their luck. They also host their free kids fishing derby at the Wheatley Harbour each July. This event normally features a mountain of prizes for fishing prowess, free draws, and free lunch. The club also has partnered with three area schools to introduce students to archery. Club member Don Wigle says, “We always have the kids in mind when we host these events.” Bill Rutter, left, took home top prize in the salmon category with his salmon that was over 30 inches. Jacob Harms, right, took the top walleye prize. The two anglers received $1,500 for their efforts. SUN photo by Greg Coulter
