BUSY DAYS AT THE MARSH POINT PELEE — Canoe and kayak traffic was heavy at the Marsh Boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park over the past weekend. Nature lovers made the trek to the park as people began to embrace outdoor activities with many COVID restrictions starting to ease around the area. This photo,

taken from the observation tower at the Boardwalk, shows several watercraft making their way through the marsh on Sunday, August 1 and taking advantage of the beautiful August weather.

Greenhouse damage extensive from EF1 tornado

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Environment Canada, with assistance from the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University, has confirmed that a brief tornado touched down in rural Leamington on Saturday, July 24.

The twister hit at approximately 10 pm on Road 4 West, causing serious damage to greenhouses at Grace Family Farms and C

and B Farms.

Northern Tornadoes Project spokesperson Francis Lavigne-Theriault, says that wind speeds got up to 145 kmh in that specific area.

Severe tree damage near the rear of the Road 4 properties is evident in aerial photos and pictures taken on the ground by Theriault and his investigative team.

Damages are estimated to be in the mil-

lions, with a large pepper crop being destroyed.

The path of the tornado was estimated to be about 190 metres wide and was on the ground for about 2.48 kms.

A tornado also touched down in Windsor on the same day and has been confirmed as an EF0 level twister.

Hogs poker run attracts hundreds of motorcycles

By Mark Ribble REGIONAL — About 500 motorcyclists and their passengers participated in the Hogs for Hospice first ever Poker Run on Saturday, July 31.

Business was booming at the five locations across the county as players could pick up a card at each of them, trying to form the best poker hand and win the big prize.

The GOAT in Lakeshore was one of the stops, joined by Amherstburg’s Shooter’s Roadhouse, Jose’s Bar and Grill

in Leamington, Crabby Joe’s in Essex and CBG’s in Colchester. The event was sponsored by Sunset Produce, Presteve Foods, Double Diamond Farms and Erie James.

“This allowed us to support the entire community,” said Hogs spokesman Joe Oswald. “We wanted it to benefit local restaurants.”

The 2021 Hogs for Hospice concert weekend would have taken place this weekend but was postponed until next year due to COVID resrictions.

Oswald credited the Hogs for Hospice Headquarters team with pulling off the poker run with such success.

“They did a fantastic job,” he said. “They just said, we can do this and we got this.”

Chris Lucas took home the top prize of $5,000 cash for his full house.

Second prize went to Derrick Arnew, who won $1,000 for his flush. Third prize of two VIP tickets for next year’s Hogs concert went to Tim Merritt for his three aces.

Cut-your-own flower and herb farm is dream come true

By Mark Ribble KINGSVILLE — Jen Gould’s dream of having a career in gardening

came to fruition a couple of weeks ago as Eh Oh Farm opened their property to the public.

Even the kids love to pick flowers at Eh Oh Farm.

Photo by Chloe Clark

In the works since last November, Jen and her husband Kyle are growing many varieties of herbs and flowers on her parents’ land on Division Rd. north of Kingsville.

The Goulds have planted numerous flowers and herbs, with some growing better than others, but Jen sees it as a learning experience.

“I figured since I love gardening — weeding and all — I’ve always learned a lot by having my own garden, and would love to make a career of it,” she said. “My real passion is in herbs, where my family has used my homemade salves and oils before anything else.”

The farm has such herbs as dill, cilantro and summer savory, which have all produced very well.

They have a large vari-

ety of sunflowers planted, including American Giant, Tall Sungold and other varieties.

Three types of zinnias, along with cosmos, bachelor’s buttons and others dot the landscape as Eh Oh Farm employs a pesticide-free method of pest control.

“We have many pollinators and beneficial insects,” said Jen. “Monarchs visit the farm daily.”

Everything is planted manually, except the sunflowers, which were planted by an old Delhi tomato transplanter.

She wasn’t planning on opening to the public this year, but she’s confident that people want to be outside doing something.

“I couldn’t keep the beauty of this place to myself,” she said.

The farm is open 9 am to 12:30 pm Tuesday through Saturdays, weather permitting.

They ask that you wear proper shoes for walking through a farm. They supply buckets and snips

so you can cut your own flowers and herbs.

Most of them are $10 per handful, with sunflowers and gladiolus $3 each.

The farm is located ay 1665 Division North in Kingsville.

You can also check them out on Facebook.

Author publishes second book

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Local author Chris Forman has published his second book, entitled Mr. C and Me, which is now available on Amazon.

Forman is following up his debut book, True Wealth, with this story about a curly-haired boy who looked up to his elementary school custodian.

That curly-haired boy was Forman himself.

“Join me for a joyful journey through my

childhood,” he says. “You’ll meet some mean teachers and a bunch of my crazy — and oddly named — classmates.”

Of course, Forman also introduces you to Mr. C and you’ll be able to learn from this common man’s uncommon wisdom.

“We’ll share

a few tears and have lots of laughs,” he says.

A professional bartender for over 25 years, Chris has gleaned uncommon wisdom from conversations with thousands of diverse patrons. He and his wife Nicole live in Leamington. He’s now a transformational speaker who inspires his audiences to awaken as individuals and members of the human family.

Recently, my husband and I packed up our home of 26 years and headed to The Bahamas to manage a private island for 5 years. While there, we confirmed that our home came with us. Although much smaller than we were used to, the four walls around us contained everything to make our new dwelling our nest for both of us, as well as our visiting friends and family.

An eye for design, a hands-on approach, along with a genuine desire to provide personal service, will help to ensure successful transactions and a positive, lifelong relationship.

On our return to Wheatley, we purchased and renovated a 1950s bungalow. Once again, we created the ‘nest’ that was perfect for us at this stage of life.

Using old gadget sparks memory

Do you have something in your house that brings back memories every time you use it?

I often see photos of things on social media where people ask if you remember using that before, like metal ice cube trays or potato peelers or other old kitchen utensils.

I have two or three items that belonged to my mother in my kitchen and I use them quite often.

Her 1970s electric hand mixer is still alive and well in our cupboards and every time I whip cream or bake a cake, I get a flashback of nostalgia.

The same goes for our ice cream scoop, which was salvaged from my parents’ kitchen after my dad passed away. I’m not sure why and I don’t remember specifically grabbing it, but it gets used quite often for scooping ice cream at our place.

The same goes for their electric knife.

After about 40 years, it still works great when we carve the turkey at Christmas.

Of course, the older generation will remember so many more household items that are no longer used. From sifters to metal strainers, manual mixers and even potato ricers, the kitchen has likely seen the most change.

My ex-wife’s family had a potato ricer. I had never seen one prior to joining their family. Instead of mashing the potatoes, they were compressed in a round compartment with holes in it, which produced rice-like pieces of potato. In the end, it all tasted the same, so I was on board.

It’s not just limited to the kitchen either.

We’ve been through the age of VCR and DVD and now most entertainment is streamed over the internet.

1970 Road Runner like new again

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk With a squeal of tires heard round the world, the Chrysler Corporation introduced the Plymouth Road Runner for 1968 – a no-nonsense, no-frills muscle car with enough horsepower to satisfy almost everyone. It remained in production to 1974. All Road Runners are highly prized today.

Charlie Makish of Cottam was 19 when he saw a 1970 Road Runner parked behind the Firestone Tire store on Erie Street South in Leaming-

ton. He bought it from Tony Daher in running condition for $700. It was also his very first car!

He drove it for a number of years but the inevitable rust began to appear. His friend Jeff Malott treated it to body work and repaint but eventually Charlie took it off the road.

He parked it until 2019, when he brought it to Mark DiMilo’s Auto Body Shop and Classic Car Restoration on Oak Street West, where the car

was treated to a complete rotisserie restoration and restored to the way it was when new in beautiful lime light green.

A new trunk floor was installed and the firewall was smoothed out. The original 383 V8 was replaced with a 472 cubic inch Hemi crate engine bolted to the original 4-speed on the floor with original pistol grip shift lever. The car also has the famous Grabber hood.

A year later the car was finished, just when the pandemic hit us. Charlie is looking forward to driving his dream machine to car shows and cruise nights so other people can enjoy the car too!

This car has always been in the Leamington Jim Heyens PUBLISHER

I have a buddy who has found his childhood Viewmaster and a few of the discs that go along with it. That brought back some memories for me and I’m sure he’s holding on to it.

Gone are instant cameras like Polaroid put out, although I’m sure most of them are collector’s items now. Even regular film cameras are hard to find, unless you pick one up at a yard sale.

This makes me wonder if anyone will have physical photo albums in the next generation. The amount of pictures that have gone by the wayside in the past 10 years is shameful. And the pictures we’ve taken on our phones and tablets may never see the light of day in an album.

Joan McSweeney chosen as 2021 senior of the year LEAMINGTON — Joan McSweeney has been chosen as the 2021 Ontario Senior of the Year for the Municipality of Leamington.

Leamington Council presented McSweeney with the Ontario Senior of the Year Award in recognition of her love of and investment in the Leam-

ington community.

McSweeney has been active in the Leamington community for many years serving on boards and committees, and

Golf cart pilot program launching on Pelee Island PELEE ISLAND – Ontario has launched a new pilot program allowing golf carts to be used on roads on Pelee Island.

Allowing golf carts according to local by-laws provides another transportation option for residents and visitors of the region while also supporting economic development and tourism in the region.

“This is a novel navigational approach to transportation for the residents of Pelee Island,” said Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington. “People on Pelee Island have unique transportation needs and golf carts will provide a convenient way to get around for everyday travel. This golf cart pilot program will also support the tourism industry and economic development in the region as visitors will also be able to use golf carts to get around.”

Under the 10-year golf cart pilot program, people on Pelee Island can use golf carts on roads with a maximum speed limit of 50 kph. Drivers must have a valid A, B, C, D, E, F or G licence and follow the local by-laws. Golf carts are required to display a slow-moving sign on the rear of the vehicle and must have

adequate nighttime lighting, must be operated in the right-most lane, cannot carry any combustible fuel except in the fuel tank (if equipped with one), and cannot carry passengers under 8 years of age. A full list of the requirements is available at Ontario.ca.

According to the OPP, operating golf carts on the road must be done so in a safe and responsible manner. A golf cart is still considered a motor vehicle under the Criminal Code of Canada and laws governing impaired driving will be enforced.

“Thousands of tourists visit Pelee Island each year to enjoy not only the hospitality, but the rich history that is treasured by the residents of Pelee,” said Inspector Glenn Miller, Detachment Commander, Essex County OPP. “I encourage everyone to abide by all the laws and help to make this a successful pilot project so others can continue to enjoy this unique opportunity.”

The province will use the information gathered during the pilot to help determine if golf carts will be allowed permanently on Pelee Island and what the rules will be.

has had a great impact on many local charitable organizations. As a past Board member for the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, Joan was instrumental in leading the team effort to deliver a satellite hospice to the Leamington area.

“Joan has worked hard for many years to contribute to the prosperity of the Leamington community,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “On behalf of Council and the residents of Leamington, I would like to extend my

sincere gratitude to Joan for her outstanding contributions and congratulate her on this well-deserved achievement.”

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Bruce Peacock of Leamington has had many travels during his life, but none like the journey he’s been on to write his first novel.

Peacock’s 98-page paperback, called ‘The Answer’, takes readers on a journey of their own, as a group of old college buddies decide to invent a remote underwater explorer.

The group gets hired to do some salvage work in the ocean and that’s when things get interesting as unknown beings and underwater cities take over from there.

“I’ve been working on it for 40 years,” said Peacock recently. “I decided during the pandemic to sit down and get it done.”

Peacock cites his interest in science fiction and his inquisitive nature as the reasons for writing the story.

“There are many mysteries BRUCE PEACOCK of earth that do not seem to fit with the time,” he says. “Be it physical or written, they are things that science cannot find a simple explanation for.”

Peacock has taken many of these unsolved questions and put them in a logical order and adds another explanation that could be ‘The Answer.’

Peacock can be reached at bap51@yahoo.com if you’d like to order a copy of his book.

Intuitive eating will help with your diet Editor’s note: This article is part of a monthly series of articles submitted by the Leamington and Area Family Health Team.

By Olivia Kuhlmann, Dietetic Intern with the Leamington & Area Family Health Team Diet Culture is everywhere! A quick Google search for “diet” comes up with 1.14 billion results in 0.56 seconds. All this information telling us what to eat, when, and how much, can be overwhelming.

This is where ‘Intuitive Eating’ comes in. We are all born with the innate ability to eat intuitively. Think, a baby crying when they’re hungry.

Along the way, Diet Culture teaches us to silence our bodies’ cues and put our trust in strict plans/ the newest fad diet.

Intuitive Eating is about getting back in touch with these cues and learning to trust our body. It has 10 guiding principles: 1. Reject the Diet Mentality: Diet culture says weight gain is synonymous with failure, and teaches us to base our worth on the food we eat and looking a certain way.

This mentality stands in the way of food freedom.

2. Honour Your Hunger: Your body knows when it needs energy, and it has various methods of asking you for fuel.

Ignoring these cues triggers primal food seeking instincts and can lead to overeating. Rebuild the trust with your body, that you will provide it the nourishment it needs.

3. Make Peace with Food: Food is not the enemy! Marking foods as “off-limits” can lead to a sense of deprivation and in turn intensify cravings.

Give yourself the unconditional permission to eat.

4. Challenge the Food Police: There is no such thing as “good” or “bad” food. Food is nourishment and has no moral value.

5. Discover the Satisfaction Factor: Eating is about so much more than the nutrients food gives our bodies. It can be a social, cultural, and emotional experience.

Allowing yourself to find pleasure and satisfaction in food is part of living a balanced life.

6. Feel Your Fullness: Listen to your body’s sig-

nals when you’re eating.

Over time, you can feel more confident knowing when you’re comfortably full. With Intuitive Eating, your mind and body will learn to trust that food will be available again when it’s needed.

7. Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness: Throughout the course of our lives, food is used to comfort, nurture, and distract us when we’re feeling upset. Food serves a variety of purposes, but it cannot resolve these underlying feelings. Learn to cope with uncomfortable emotions in ways that don’t involve food.

8. Respect Your Body: If we all ate the exact same, our bodies would still be different! Health looks different on everyone.

Give your body permission to change and adapt throughout the course of your life.

9. Movement – Feel the Difference: Movement is supposed to be enjoyable.

Find an activity that you enjoy and focus on how it makes you feel, rather than how many calories it burns. Exercise is selfcare!

10. Honour Your Health

– Gentle Nutrition: You don’t have to eat “perfectly” to be healthy. You will

not develop a nutritional deficiency in one day or gain 10 lbs from one meal.

Balance is key.

“Leamington is full of change-makers,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “I wanted to create an annual awards program that instills pride, encourages everyone to contribute, and acknowledges and thanks citizens for their meaningful contributions to our community.”

This year’s Mayor’s RecognitionAwards program will recognize citizens who have made a meaningful contribution or have had a significant achieve-

ment in one of the following six categories during the 2020 calendar year: Athletics Award, Outstanding Youth Award, Innovation Award, Distinguished Volunteer Service Award, Community Inspiration Award, and Mayor’s Special Award.

Award recipients will be selected by the Mayor’s Recognition Awards Committee, with the exception of the Mayor’s Special Award recipient, which is selected by the Mayor.

Province helping wineries with new initiative PROVINCIAL – The Ontario government is launching a new Winery Agri-Tourism COVID-19 Relief Initiative to support agri-tourism businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ontario wineries and cideries with on-site stores whose business were impacted by COVID-19 safety measures to stop the spread of the virus will be eligible for this

one-time grant.

Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington, welcomed the funding announcement of a one time $10 million grant to help eligible wineries and cideries with on-site stores whose business were impacted by COVID-19.

Businesses that saw a revenue decline in at least one area of their operations, such as decreased

tourism, tours, events and tastings, or have faced increased expenses to comply with public health safety measures for COVID-19 will be eligible to receive support.

The 2021 Budget, Ontario’s Action Plan: Protecting People’s Health and Our Economy, committed to providing a one time $10 million grant to help wineries and cideries impacted by COVID-19 and

to ensure that agricultural production and local jobs are maintained in Ontario’s rural communities.

As the delivery agent of the new Winery Agri-Tourism COVID-19 Relief Initiative, Agricorp will send applications for the program directly to eligible wineries and cideries on July 20, 2021.

“Red, red wine ... I think there is a song in there,” said a smiling

Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent Leamington. “Our government’s initiative to support our agri-business to the tune of $10-million will put a smile on Ontario’s wine and cider producers, whose businesses have been affected by COVID-19.”

“Our government recognizes the significant impact of the Agri-Tourism sector on Ontario’s social

and economy recovery,” said Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. “The launch of a new Winery Agri-Tourism Relief Initiative will support and maintain the vital jobs of those who continue to fight to ensure this sector is able to come back stronger than before.”

Reminder to take precautions outdoors during tick season ONTARIO — The Government of Ontario is reminding everyone to take the necessary precautions when spending time outdoors to prevent tick bites and reduce the risk of Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is a potentially serious infection that comes from being bitten by an infected blacklegged tick. Infected ticks can be found almost anywhere in Ontario, particularly in wooded areas or areas with tall grasses and bushes, including city gardens and parks.

“We want to ensure Ontarians know how to protect themselves from Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “The areas where ticks can be found are spreading, and as a result, more Ontarians are at a greater risk of getting a tick bite. By taking simple precautions, you can protect yourself and your family so that we can all enjoy the outdoors safely.”

When spending time

outdoors, you can protect yourself from tick bites by: • Wearing light-coloured clothing so it’s easier to spot ticks.

• Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants tucked into your socks, and closed-toed shoes.

519.398.9098 • mallory@southpointcreativegroup.ca southpointcreativegroup.ca

• Using an insect repellent with DEET or icaridin in it, which is effective and safe when applied as directed on the label.

• Staying on marked trails.

• Checking yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors and removing any ticks promptly, and washing your clothes after an outdoor activity.

“Lyme disease is preventable and can be treated successfully if the necessary precautions are

taken,” said Dr. David Williams, former Chief Medical Officer of Ontario. “While ticks are most active in the spring and summer months, they can also be found during the fall when temperatures are still above freezing.

I encourage everyone to follow these simple steps year-round to protect yourself and your families.”

Blacklegged ticks are small and hard to see. If you find ticks on your body, remove them immediately with tweezers

and clean the area with soap and water. If you have any symptoms or health concerns after a tick bite, consult a health care provider as soon as possible. If caught early, most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics.

While outdoor activities can help improve physical fitness and mental wellness, they are not risk-free and COVID-19 transmission can occur as a result of large outdoor gatherings.

Smart devices part of Hydro One’s modernization program PROVINCIAL – Hydro One it is investing in a smarter, more reliable electricity system by installing smart devices on its system. These devices will help reduce the impact of power outages by an average of approximately 40% in areas where they are deployed.

This is part of Hydro One’s grid modernization program, which leverages digital technology including smart switches and sensors to automate the electricity system and improve power reliability.

Since implementing the program in 2018, Hydro One has added more than 2,300 smart devices to its system, with plans to install approximately 500 devices this year. Energizing these smart devices in communities across the province has avoided 20 million customer minutes of power interruptions.

Currently, smart devices are deployed in 10% of Hydro One’s service territory.

Since 2018, Hydro One has added more than 2,300 smart devices to its system (CNW Group/ Hydro One Inc.) “Storms are getting

stronger and we need to be ready to respond to power outages faster and smarter than before.

Our grid modernization program leverages digital solutions to reduce the number and duration of power outages, minimizing disruptions to the daily lives of customers, businesses and communities,” said David Lebeter, Chief Operating Officer, Hydro One. “Our people, towers, poles and wires bring the light, heat, refrigeration and technology that is essential to life. By investing in this new technology, we are building a grid for the future that will serve our customers better and strengthen Ontario’s economy.”

“Hydro One’s modernization initiative is a critical step in building a smarter power grid that benefits electricity ratepayers,” said Todd Smith, Minister of Energy. “Using the newest technology to build a smarter grid will ensure Ontarians have access to an efficient, clean and reliable electricity system for years to come.”

By investing in smart

switches, problem areas can be isolated remotely, reducing the amount of customers who experience a power outage. Digital sensors are also being added to better detect the location of a problem, which helps direct crews to the source of the issue and allows them to spend more time making repairs and restoring power instead of patrolling long power lines along challenging terrain.

Hydro One’s grid modernization program is rolling out in communities across the province.

—Sports Flashbacks—

This week’s flashbacks are from 1979 Juveniles split weekend games The Leamington Juveniles won and lost over the weekend with a 5-1 loss to Woodslee and a 15-7 victory over Sandwich West. Larry Balkwill singled home Paul Unrau for Leamington’s only run against Woodslee. Tracy Wiper tossed a complete game for the locals and took the loss. He allowed nine hits, struck out four and didn’t walk a batter. In the win over Sandwich, the locals exploded with 19 hits en route to their victory. Balkwill and Ewald Dobetsberger sparked the winners with four hits each. Brad Dunmore, Tracy Wiper, Andy Wiper and Mark Ribble each had a pair of hits. Ribble got the win on the mound, pitching a complete game 10-hitter.

Bats fail Barons The Leamington Barons had all sorts of opportunity to score runs but just couldn’t muster much offence, losing to Essex Tavern 4-1 on Wednesday. Ron Voakes took the win for Essex and managed to put out any threat the Barons could produce. Mike Klym and Mike Arner shared the mound chores for the Barons, scattering eight hits. The Barons’ only run was scored in the first inning when Gene Biekx scored on a single off the bat of Klym. Paul Jeffery had two hits for Leamington in a losing cause.

Big Boyz tournament attracts 420 anglers

By Mark Ribble WHEATLEY — The 17th Annual Big Boyz Fishing Tournament wrapped up on Monday, August 2 with a lot of local names atop the leader board.

The annual walleye and salmon tournament attracted 420 participants, which might very well be the largest turnout ever.

The Southwest Outdoors Club (SWOC) hosted the tournament out of Wheatley Harbour for the first time since 2018 and a total of $8,500 in cash prizes was given out.

The tournament — normally a nine-day affair — started on Thursday, July 29 and ran through until 2 pm on Monday, August 2.

“We had great weather,” said SWOC President Dan Reive. “We only lost part of a day to windy conditions.”

The two big winners caught their fish on the last day, prompting a lot of rearranging on the leader board.

Lee Penfold’s 30-inch Rainbow Trout took the top salmon prize as he edged out previous leader Craig Adamson. He received a nice trophy and $1,500 cash for his efforts.

On the other side of the board, Richard Rivard’s Walleye measured out at 30-and six-sixteenths to knock Laura Wright off the top spot by a full inch. He also received a trophy and $1,500 cash prize.

There were also prizes given out to those who finished second-to-tenth in each category and those who caught the biggest fish daily.

Among the daily leaders who took home $100 each were Brad Dugal, Steve Dugal, Terry Taylor, Laura Wright, Matt Gould, Tate Garant, Craig Adamson, Steve Derbyshire, Lee Penfold and Richard Rivard.

Members of the Southwest Outdoors Club take a measurement on a walleye (pickerel) brought in just before the Overall third place fish were scored by Matt Gould 2 pm deadline on Monday, August 2.

The course beats the players in TT senior golf

By Bob McLean The Talbot Trail Golf Course proved to be a major challenge for the 64 seniors who participated on Tuesday, July 27. The outside workers have been kept really busy cutting the grass as a result of all the recent heavy rainfalls. However, it is really great to see the ball washers, sand trap rakes, etc., back in use.

The lowest score, an excellent 39, was fired

by Arkey in the under 70 grouping.

Five players tied for second place with terrific 41s: Fuzzy, Shannon, Fred, Joe D. and Russell.

Very commendable results were earned by Randy, Gerry and Len. In the 70-79y division, Dutchy maintained top spot by shooting a very impressive 41. He did this despite shanking his shot on #9. According to Chopper, he luckily still managed a bogey. Superb results of 42, 43 and 44 were scored by Bobo, Chopper and Al Matthews respec-

tively. Ian Quirk, Bummy, and BW shot solid 45s.

Tim Stevenson and Dave Dent produced very commendable 46s. A noteworthy 47 was attained by Mac Hyatt. Other praise-

worthy results below 50 were attained by Doug, Paul Carioli, Gary Hillier, Larry Hyatt and Richard Humber. A sweet nifty 50 was merited by Ray. The 80-85y grouping was led by Joe Vrtel who shot an impressive 44. Vic Reynaert placed second with his own satisfying score. Praiseworthy results were earned by Neil, Ken, Conrad, Gary and Andy.

There was a very close contest in the Silver Super Senior Division. Howev-

er, Tom Hyatt and Walter Balsam came in first with their inspiring rounds. Ed Woelk and Bill Edwards played very well, ending up only a few shots back.

Carl Robinson’s brilliant 49 led the Gold Super Seniors. Praise worthy results were also produced

by Erle and Murray.

Congratulations to Bob Lee who achieved a personal best, a 47, for the year. Also, a special Happy Birthday to Ed Woelk who turned 87. You’re still a swinger, Ed!

Jamieson Tour plays Sutton Creek, Maple City

By Bryce Evon The Jamieson Junior Golf Tour stopped at Sutton Creek Golf Club on Thursday, July 22 for the fifth event of the season.

In the Junior Girls Division, Vanessa Ardovini (Roseland) and Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) both fired rounds of 78 and tied for first place.

Ardovini used nines of 38-40, while Charlebois carded a pair of 39s.

Norah Donais (Ambassador) and Emily Young (Kingsville) were close behind with rounds of 81.

In the Junior Boys Division, Austin Brancaccio (Essex) edged out the competition by a single shot, firing an evenpar 72. Brancaccio was

a model of consistency, with just two bogeys and two birdies to go along with 14 pars. Rylan Marontate (Kingsville) and Jax Sisson (Pointe West) finished in a tie for second with 73s.

The Collegiate Men’s division was also a tight race, with Alex Saroli (Wayne State/Essex) earning a one-shot victory over Robert McVinnie (Western/Beach Grove) and Alek Mauro (Detroit Mercy/Essex).

Saroli’s card included five birdies on route to an even par 72.

The tour was at Maple City Country Club on Monday, July 26 for the sixth event of the season.

The course was in phe-

nomenal shape and winds were calm, but scorching temperatures made for a challenging day.

It was a close race in the Junior Girls Division, with Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) and Emily Young (Kingsville) duking it out for the victory.

Young bested Charlebois by a shot on the front nine, but Charlebois had a strong back nine, and her 78 total eclipsed Young by a single stroke. The win was Charlebois’ fourth of the season.

In the Junior Boys Division, Pointe West’s Jax Sisson fired an even par 72 to earn the win. Sitting at four over par on the day through 13 holes, Sisson finished birdie, par,

Friday night, the Barons were at home to host the Harrow Seniors. Lucas Lamotte

and Cat Morin shared the pitching duties, striking out 10 Harrow batters. Morin led the team at the plate with a third inning grand slam. The Barons came away with a 10-6 win.

Sunday afternoon, the Barons invited the Walker Homesite Juniors to the Leamington diamonds to keep their eightgame undefeated steak alive.

and triple.

Dawson Iles started the pitching with Wiebe coming in to close. They shared 12 strikeouts to take the win by a 12-7 score.

Southpoint Alumni hold annual golf tournament LEAMINGTON — The Southpoint Alumni Group held their 10th annual golf tournament at Erie Shores Golf and Country Club Wednesday, July 21.

Great weather greeted the most ever turn out of 172 golfers for the scramble format. The major tournament sponsor this year was once again Universal Fabricating.

The course was in perfect shape, with Mike Toth and his crew providing great conditions.

There were three teams tied at 57, which was 14 under par. The winning

team — by retrogression — was the team of Joe Schekenberger, his two sons Dan and Jake and Sandy Towle.

The team of Ryan Harder, Nick Warkentin, Joe Moavro, and Pat Michaud and the team of Ward Hutchins, Brian Humpherys, Raoul Morin, and Ken Piper tied for second.

The low mixed group was Neil Sawatzky, Lisa Sawatzky, Wayne Pare, and Debbie Pare at -7.

The low ladies group was Christine Hutchins, Melissa Schaffhauser, Nicole Ferreira, and Jess Remigio at even par

71.

There were two skins paid out with an eagle on #9, eagle on #15 — each worth $430.

Closest to pin on the par threes were Ward Hutchins #3, Scott Jackson #5, Jake Harms #13, and Tim Driedger #16.

Ladies closest was Lisa Sawatzky #3 and #13.

Longest drives were made by Jake Schekenbeger on #6, and Joe Moavro #15, with the ladies #6 Heather MacPherson and #15 Sherry McCauley.

The golf course ran a putting contest

this year. The winner with a perfect score of 60 was Raoul Morin. In second place was John Klassen. They each won two rounds with cart at Erie Shores.

The Alumni Group will use the proceeds from this event to help first year hockey players any age in the Southpoint Minor Hockey system to offset the cost of their registration. The group will also be supporting first-year referees to help offset their cost of starting up, as well as helping the system with clinics for house league this coming season.
