CAMP DAY FACE PAINTING Young Aiden Froese holds perfectly still as he gets a football painted on his cheek at Tim Hortons Camp Day in Leamington on Wednesday, July 13. SUN photo

Second booster doses expanded to Ontarians 18 and over The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, has expanded eligibility for second booster doses to Ontarians aged 18 and over, in order to provide an extra layer of protection to those who may need it. On Thursday, July 14, eligible individuals were able to book an appointment through the COVID-19 vaccination portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-9433900. Eligible individuals can also book an appointment directly through public health units that

use their own booking systems, through Indigenous-led vaccination clinics and participating pharmacies. Appointments are based on availability, which may vary by region. “As we continue to manage COVID-19 for the long term, we’re expanding second booster doses and extending the availability of free rapid antigen tests to give people the tools they need to stay safe and to ensure Ontario stays open,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Vaccines continue to be our best defence against

COVID-19 and protecting our hospital capacity for those who need it most.” Second booster doses are being offered at an interval of five months after an individual receives their first booster dose. While most individuals aged 18 to 59 years old will continue to have strong protection more than six months after their first booster dose, expanding second booster dose eligibility will ensure that Ontarians can make an informed decision based on their personal circumstances. A new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine is an-

ticipated to be approved by Health Canada this fall, which may offer more targeted protection against the Omicron variants. Ontarians are encouraged to speak with their health care provider about whether getting a second booster dose now is right for them. “Expanding eligibility to second booster doses and providing continued access to testing will empower Ontarians to make the best decisions for their circumstances and help keep our communities safe,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “Staying

up to date on vaccination is the best protection against severe outcomes from COVID-19.” As part of the province’s plan to stay open, Ontario is expanding Ontario’s health care workforce, shoring-up domestic production of critical supplies and investing more than $40 billion for over 50 major hospital projects that will bring over 3,000 new hospital beds. Since the start of the pandemic, the province has added over 8,600 health care professionals to the health care system with programs in place to recruit thousands more.

youth from underserved communities. For every hot or iced coffee purchased at Tim Hortons on Camp Day, the company made a 100 per cent donation to send a kid to camp. They were also selling Camp Day merchandise at Tim Horton stores across the continent, and another option was to round up your order to help or drop some change in their coin box. Lots of festivities surrounded the Camp Day celebrations locally, with the Leamington Fire Department spending time at each of the three Leamington franchises. Activities included free balloons and face painting for children. Gina Geauvreau, Camp Day Captain at Leamington’s Tim Hortons North #562, was excited to see everyone celebrating. “This is awesome,” she said. “We are having fun with it.” Since the camps began, over 300,000 youth have experienced a confidence-building, life-changing experience. Totals aren’t in yet, but it’s expected to be in the millions.

The Leamington Fire Department was on hand to greet patrons at Tim Hortons North on Wednesday morning as part of Camp Day. Here, firefighter Roger Elliott, left, poses with Tim Hortons Camp Day Captain Gina Geauvreau and firefighter Todd Stahl as they peer into the truck, where Tyler Elliott sits in the fireman’s seat and sisters Sateal (top) and Tahiri Geauvreau enjoy standing on the steps.

Hort Society names June garden winners By Susan Ross The Leamington Horticultural Society recently named their June fabulous gardens award winners. Members of the Leamington Horticultural Society’s Landscape and Tree Committee visited the nominated properties which were judged on the criteria of balance, curb appeal, variety, visual impact, planning and integration. The property of Jennifer and Phil Shilson, 109 Mersea Road 11, is a shady oasis in a vast “desert” of soybean and corn fields. They are the third generation to tend this lovely garden of mulched paths and meandering beds of peonies, lilies, lavender, fragrant old fashioned shrub roses and other perennials.

Jennifer and Phil Shilson in their garden at 109 Mersea Rd. 11. Photo submitted

Among the trees are productive English Walnut, pear, plum, and apple, as well as a variety of older evergreens. Outdoor living amenities include a stone fireplace and patio, pergola, and water to attract birds. Good job! The development of the garden at 165 Talbot St. West in Leamington began seven years ago, with definite purpose.

Jackie Scott stands in her garden at 165 Talbot Street West. Photo submitted

When Jackie and Michael Scott (he gives her most of the credit) moved in, they planned a low-maintenance, xerophytic, front garden. Stone pathways, very deep mulch and tough perennials are in the recipe: spring bulbs, iris, alliums and bleeding heart provide color, while hostas of various greens, blues, and white stripes create pools of greenery. Giant tortoise and interesting rocks add much to the landscape. Well done! Two winners will be chosen for each of the months July and August. If you would like to nominate someone for this award, nominations can be emailed to lhsfabulousgarden@gmail.com or call 519-326-4841.

Zehrs Kingsville holds grand re-opening after $5 million upgrades By Mark Ribble A $5 million investment in upgrades to the Zehrs store in Kingsville brought dozens of people out to the official grand re-opening on Friday, July 15. Store Manager Eric Hodgson welcomed those in attendance, which included local dignitaries, vendors, shoppers and employees. “It’s a brand new look for our community and

we couldn’t be more excited,” said Hodgson. “To our Zehrs Kingsville team, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.” The store — which first opened in 1985 — underwent some changes and additions that will bring the shopping experience to even more higher standards than what customers are used to, according to Hodgson. “Through those doors,

you’re going to witness something truly remarkable,” he said. They added several new departments, including a sushi bar and Mealtime Marketplace, and upgraded the floral department, ready-to-gomeals, local product sections and much more. The store currently employs about 130, with plans to hire more associates soon. The transformation

began on April 18 and was supposed to take 13 weeks. Hodgson says that it took a little longer but was well worth the wait. Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos, in one of his last public appearances as Mayor of Kingsville, lauded the store for the service it has always provided. “On behalf of the town, thank you all for continuing to see the bright lights that shine in Kingsville,”

Mike McDonnell of Zehrs Kingsville, Bob Smith, Zehrs employee, Eric Hodgson, Manager Zehrs Kingsville, and Tony Rivolta, Zehrs Kingsville, cut the ceremonial ribbon for the grand re-opening. Sun photos

he said. Hodgson then presented the Kingsville Community Food Bank with a donation cheque for $5,000, as part of Zehrs Kingsville’s commitment to helping the community. Linda Lynch gladly accepted the cheque and thanked Zehrs for all they have done. “Every week, we get an order and everyone is always so friendly and

helpful,” she said. At that point, the ceremonial ribbon was cut, as Hodgson was joined by his assistant managers Mike McDonnell and Tony Rivolta, and the longest-serving Zehrs employee in Canada, Bob Smith. A tour of the store was then taken by councillors, shoppers and other intrigued parties, showing off the new amenities available to customers.

Kingsville councillor Larry Patterson, Deputy Mayor Gord Queen and retired Zehrs employee Noreen Fontes check out the fresh pork at Zehrs Kingsville during the grand re-opening. Noreen worked at the store for 23 years and was there doing her weekly shopping.

and other musings

Something I avoided for two-and-a-half years Well the COVID finally got me. After two-and-a-half years of sidestepping and close calls, I woke up Monday morning to a positive rapid test. To say I felt like crap would be an understatement. Having known many who have gone through it, I kind of knew what to expect, but it still doesn’t prepare you for the pounding head, which, so far as I write this, is the worst symptom of all of them. It came on quickly Sunday after dinner as I developed a headache and sore throat.

By the time I retired to the couch (my wife took the bed), I was feeling like I’d been run over by the truck. Monday morning brought the body aches and cough, so I stuck the thingy up my nose and got my positive result. Now, I’ve always believed in staying positive, but not in this case. I can thank my vaccine regimen for keeping it to this level, I suppose. Deb and I were discussing getting our second booster a couple of weeks ago, but opted to wait. Who knows if that

would have helped. I should be good to go by Hogs for Hospice and the Sun Parlour Rodeo weekend — at least I hope so. Friends of ours are still reeling from the infection that got to them a couple of weeks ago. As I write this column, I’m working from home, hoping this headache will subside eventually. I wanted to write something clever this week, but this is as good as it gets. My mind is very foggy (more than usual) and the body aches make me feel like I just ran a

marathon. We are sitting on pins and needles, wondering if Debbie will get it and how severe it will be. The pros of living in a small apartment building are that you can turn the key and leave for as many days as you want without stressing about the house, the yard, or the neighbours. The con — the one I never expected to see — is that she cannot avoid me and as much as I like the attention, I real-

RIB’S RAMBLINGS Mark Ribble ly don’t want her to get this. We sit at opposite ends of the couch but I don’t think that’s going to help. I hope by this time next week, it will all be behind us, but who knows. They say this thing has a mind of its own, so we will rest, drink lots of fluids and wait for the other shoe to fall.

Sam Cooke — a sad ending to a promsing career

Not too long before the Beatles invaded our airwaves in 1964, I’m guessing maybe, at most, a year and a half before that, I recall my dad having a small but interesting collection of record albums that were mostly jazz (by singers like Jesse Belvin) but also some Broadway soundtracks, multiple artists compilations and albums by others like Neil Sedaka and Sam Cooke. He would generally play these on weekends and that’s when I especially came to enjoy listening to the soulful Sam Cooke. In fact, just last week while I was tuned into Satellite radio in our car, I heard two Sam Cooke classics, “Chain Gang”

and “You Send Me”. Oh my, he certainly was a smooth and beautiful soul singer. So, when I got home I rushed downstairs to my record library and found my mint condition copy of “The Best of Sam Cooke” that was given to me nearly 40 years ago by CHYR’s General Manager, Lou Tomasi. Being so young at the time that Sam Cooke came out, I couldn’t really appreciate or understand just how talented he really was. Unlike most artists in those days, Sam actually personally wrote many of his hit songs like “You Send Me”, “Having A Party”, “Only Sixteen”, “Bring It On Home To Me”, “Twistin” The

Night Away”, “Another Saturday Night”, “Chain Gang” and “What A Wonderful World”. That is truly an incredible array of music and lyrical talent. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, on January 22, 1931, Sam was the fifth of eight children of Annie Mae and Reverend Charles Cook, a Baptist Minister, and by the age of six he was singing in a choir with his siblings in a group called the Singing Children. The family had moved to Chicago in 1933 and Cooke was in a few different gospel singing groups over the years. By the fall of 1957 he was on his own and his first single release, “You Send Jim Heyens OWNER

Me”, went on to spend three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Over the next seven years, Sam had released another 34 singles including “Only Sixteen” (1959), “Chain Gang” (1960), “Wonderful World” (1960), “Cupid” (1961), “Twistin’ The Night Away” (1962) “Bring it On Home To Me” (1962), “Having A Party” (1962), “Another Saturday Night” (1963), and “Good Times”, “Good News” and “Cousin of Mine” all in 1964. Cooke’s personal life certainly didn’t match the success of his musical life. His first marriage in 1953 lasted five years, while his second

FLASHBACK RADIO with Chuck Reynolds marriage in 1958 lasted until December 11, 1964 when he was shot dead by the hotel manager at the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles. Apparently, after responding to reports of both a shooting and a kidnapping at the motel, the police found Sam’s body with a single gunshot wound to the chest. The police ruled it “justifiable homicide”, although they are many other versions of what happened that speculate different scenarios.

Sadly, the music world and many fans lost a very talented singer. In the month following his death, Cooke’s single “Shake” was released and it reached #7 on Billboard’s Top 100 charts and made the top 10 on the R&B Charts. There’s no doubt that his immense talent and success certainly inspired and opened doors for many other fine R&B artists to succeed in the entertainment business.

Ukraine fundraising efforts reaching $1 million in donations Back in March of this year, Mandi Quiring spearheaded a relief effort for Ukraine that took on a life of its own after just one week. With help from DeGoey Flowers and about 120 volunteers, she was able to get $800,000 worth of donated goods delivered to Toronto, which were then flown to Ukraine for distribution. The Fill A Plane for Ukraine initiative filled a semi-truck with goods separated into 24 pallets. Donations from local residents and schools included first aid kits, sleeping bags, socks, flashlights, candles and clothing. The donations were shipped by the Meest Corporation and received by the BCU Foundation for distribution across Ukraine. “We wanted to help

Ukraine but honestly, it helped us,” says Mandi. “We were all feeling helpless in turmoil. So we send the truck off, clean up the warehouse and smile contented — a little sad that it was over, a little amazed, but on cloud nine.” The next day, she was asked to join up with Caritas Foundation, a Catholic charity that helps countries in crisis. After checking out the charity, she decided to throw her efforts behind Caritas through the Erie Shores Catholic Family of Parishes. She was challenged by a local benefactor to raise $100,000 on this second go-round and the benefactor said they would match whatever she raised up to $100,000. They gave her 24 hours to accept the challenge. “I asked Father Tom if

he would like to take on this challenge and help again,” she said. “I knew it was a huge goal, but would be willing to work hard and see what we could do.” Mandi began speaking before each mass and set a goal of September 1 to meet her $100,000 goal. The effort was aided by raising money doing speeches, going to local schools, loonie drives and then partnering with the Catholic Women’s League to sell sandwiches every two weeks. “We approached businesses asking them to buy lunches, partnered with Booster Juice and offered a smoothie to the schools with a donation built into the price,” she said. “We asked local businesses to donate ingredients for sandwiches.” Numerous other smaller fundraisers added to the total. Meanwhile, a dedicated group came together to plan a parish dinner to celebrate community and offer a silent/live auction to raise funds for Ukraine. That dinner took place on Saturday, July 9 at the Portuguese Club, where the highlight of the evening was the live auction

of a classic pendant made by Ukrainian jeweller Igor Loborta. Local jeweller Wharram’s Jewellery also got involved as businesses came together for a great cause. The Portuguese Club was packed with people eager to help Ukraine and come together as a community. As for the pendant, Mandi was quite pleased with the outcome. “The piece was stunning, it attracted a donation purchase of $11,600,” she said. “That donation

was then matched by a local parishioner and matched again by the anonymous donor, making a total donation of $46,400.” They placed a phone call to Igor Loborta, who was overjoyed to hear that his donation resulted in such a large amount for the people of Ukraine. The parish dinner, titled Breaking Bread, was a huge success. “We were moved to see people of all ages from a multitude of different backgrounds united by their common faith,”

said Father Tom Ferrera. “Thanks to all who worked behind the scenes and all those from the community who donated gifts for our auctions.” So far, Mandi Quiring believes the two initiatives have brought her total to just shy of $1 million. “We’ll have an exact total by the end of this week,” she said. “If I haven’t hit it yet, we are pretty close. It’s pretty amazing that our area as a whole has raised well over a million dollars, and the community is still participating.”

Municipality of Leamington partners with Pathway to Potential and The Bridge for at-risk youth The Municipality of Leamington has partnered with Pathway to Potential (P2P) and The Bridge Youth Resource Centre to develop a free recreation membership program at the Nature

Fresh Farms Recreation Centre for at-risk youth in Leamington. The program will grant youth clients of The Bridge Youth Resource Centre unlimited access to the Nature Fresh

Farms Recreation Centre programs and amenities over the year. The program has been developed to encourage healthy interests, strengthen leadership skills and provide opportunities to positive-

process for clients of The Bridge Youth Resource Centre including those in supportive housing. “Access to recreation programming provides a healthy foundation for our young people, and

It has been a long two years since the good Lord called you home. Ever since you went away, the days go slowly by. And the hardest thing to cope with is never knowing why. To lose you was unbearable, and time and time again, I’ve tried to look for reasons that no one can explain. Life and death hold mysteries, but one thing is for sure, I loved you then, I love you now and will forever more.

we are happy to offer this program in Leamington at our recreation centre,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “I would like to thank our community partners, P2P and The Bridge, for collaborating with us on this important initiative.” “The partnership with The Bridge and the Municipality of Leamington to remove financial barriers to accessing programming at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre is the perfect collaboration,” said Stephen Lynn, Manager, Social Policy and Planning, City of Windsor. “It enables us to promote social inclusion as well as healthy and active lifestyles for at-risk youth in Leamington.”

Wishing you the happiest and warmest of birthdays! Your love and kindness has touched everyone you’ve known for a century. Have a wonderful 100th birthday! Love from your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Community Living pleased with golf tournament return

By Ron Giofu Community Living Essex County (CLEC) was finally able to present the 30th Charity Golf Challenge last week. After a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fundraising golf tournament was finally able to return last Thursday with 120 golfers hitting the course at Sutton Creek Golf Club in McGregor. That number was down slightly from the 128 golfers that participated in 2019, but CLEC’s manager of community relations and resource development Tony DeSantis noted there were some participants that were getting caught up on other commitments, such as weddings and family functions, and weren’t able to come to the golf tournament this year. DeSantis added there were new players who joined in this year, as they heard about the event through other players. “After a two-year absence, we really didn’t know what to expect,” said DeSantis. “It’s been absolutely positive from every perspective.” Golfers were giving the tournament good

was “extremely pleased” with. He emphasized they want to give “a huge thanks” to their corporate sponsors and donors who supported the tournament, as well as the golfers themselves. “It’s a win-win event,” said DeSantis. “It’s a good opportunity for them to support a charity.” Five of the seven Essex County municipalities were also officially represented and those teams vied for the Municipal Cup, a trophy that was added to the tournament in 2009. The team from the Municipality of Leamington won this year, with Amherstburg, LaSalle, Lakeshore and Kingsville also represented. Nelson Santos, in one of his final events as Kingsville mayor, was thanked by the agency for being a “friend and an ambassador” for CLEC. Santos has resigned as mayor as he has taken a job as the CAO of the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio, which is near Barrie. Sutton Creek Golf Club was also thanked for its work in helping to present the tournament, with DeSantis calling it “an awesome venue.” “They treat us right,”

feedback while sponsors stepped up again this year, something he said the agency is grateful for. The agency hopes to raise at least $15,000 this year, which is down from the $20,000 usually raised, but there was a bit of COVID-19 recovery factored into that, DeSantis explained. “We’re really pleased with the numbers,” said DeSantis. People were happy to hit the links again, he noted. “They are anxious to support our charity. They missed coming to our event,” said DeSantis. “It’s a fun event.” There were some golfers that participate every year, he added, including Larry Riley, who participated in his 29th Charity Golf Classic. DeSantis believed that shows a long-term commitment to the tournament and to Community Living Essex County. DeSantis added there was “a good cross-section” of representation from corporations, municipalities, Community Living Essex County staff and members of the general public taking part, something he said CLEC

Leamington won the 2022 Municipal Cup and here, they are congratulated by CLEC Executive Director Karen Bolger, left. The town represtnatives are Rob Sharon, Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Paul Barnable, CAO Peter Neufeld and Terry Symons. Ron Giofu photo

he said. “It’s all about customer service. We’re really pleased.” DeSantis also thanked the volunteers. He pointed out this year’s Charity Golf Classic was the first time in about ten years that he was able to golf and he told the volunteers he understood the efforts they put in. “This kind of thing could not happen without them,” said DeSantis. CLEC executive director Karen Bolger agreed that it was great to be back after two years of being away. “We are so pleased to be celebrating our 30th Annual Charity Golf Classic! All proceeds from this

tournament go directly to our summer support program for children and youth with intellectual disabilities. The funds help families throughout the summer months with supports to allow their children to be involved in summer camps, recreation, and leisure activities while they’re not in school,” she said. “This program is so important to many, many families in Essex County and your support today is making a difference.” Bolger expressed the agency’s sincere appreciation to all of the golfers “and to our generous sponsors who contributed to the success of our

tournament. Thank you.” Bolger also extended thanks to CLEC’s marketing team and community volunteers for their hard work in planning the tournament, as well as Sutton Creek for their hospitality and support. “As a non-profit, charitable organization which supports over 750 people with an intellectual disability and their families throughout Essex County, we rely on the support of our community,” she added. “The support we receive from our volunteers and people like you is so important and greatly appreciated.”

Ribfest returns this weekend Margaret Emma Ross 1922 – 2022

Margaret Emma Ross (Macfarlane) passed away Saturday, July 16, 2022. Born in the Peterborough area and lived 99 eventful years, 60 of them with beloved husband Donald Cameron Ross (2006) in Leamington. Survived by three much-loved children: Donald Macfarlane Ross (Marlene), Susan Jane Ross and Judith Evelyn Meixner (Herman). She had three grandchildren, Scott (Saidah), Paul (Lisa), Jessica ( JP), and a dear great-granddaughter, Clio. Marg, like husband Don, was a graduate of University of Guelph (1944) and followed her passion for nature and gardening throughout her life. Winter hobbies included weaving, sewing and knitting. She taught at Kingsville District High School for 19 happy years and at first was the only woman Agriculture teacher in Canada. Volunteering was a large part of her life – hospital, church, art gallery, Point Pelee and horticulture were among the activities that led to Marg being recognized as Citizen of the Year for 2010. Don and Marg enjoyed cottaging, travelling and sailing for many years. Marg’s loving generosity influenced everyone she touched. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made by cheque to Southwest Ontario Gleaners by contacting Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631).

Blair Slabbekoorn

We are extremely sad to tell of the passing of Blair Christopher Slabbekoorn. Born October 11, 1983, died Sunday, July 17, 2022, at the too young age of 38. Father of much-loved Breeann Slabbekoorn, son of Christopher Slabbekoorn (2020) and Betteann Clinton, brother to Amy Slabbekoorn and Janine Mastronardi (Vince). Fun uncle to Morgan Slabbekoorn, Eli and Enzo Mastronardi. Blair suffered illness for the past four years but always put on a brave face and did what he could to help others. He loved to garden and always made sure his mom was surrounded by flowers outside and plants in the house. He was a creative cook, although there was often a wait for the dish to be perfect. He liked to fish and hunt, and the outdoors was always his preferred place to be. When we could not find him as a child, he was likely at the creek fishing or down playing in the swamp area by the lake. He loved music, often finding little known internet artists. He had a big heart. A memory that showed this is when a lady was knocked off the road in her car, he immediately jumped the 10-foot ditch in cold water and snow to help her with no regard to his new expensive shoes he had just bought! His only thought was “We have to help her.” Blair was known in many ways, by many people, but in whatever way you remember him, please remember his big heart, his crazy wit and his way of putting others before himself. Enjoy heaven, Blair, with your Dad. We will see you again. Visitation for Blair will be held at Kendrick Funeral Home, Kingsville, on Thursday, July 21, 2022, from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. A celebration of life will be held Friday, July 22, 2022, at 11 a.m. at the funeral home. If you wish, in memory of Blair, donations would be appreciated to Erie Shores Hospice, 197 Talbot Street West, Suite 210, Leamington ON N8H 1N8 or The Bridge Youth Resource Centre, 310 Sherk Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3L1.

Erie Shores Golf - the early years

By C. Scott Holland In just a few years, the Erie Shores Golf and Country Club will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Erie Shores — originally known as the Leamington Golf and Country Club — was created in 1926 but was founded a year earlier. In 1925, the future site of Erie Shores Golf and Country Club was nothing more than a 145-acre farm nestled along the shores of Lake Erie. Robson Road didn’t exist, and what was Bevel Line was nothing more than a dirt lane leading to today’s modern intersection of Monarch Lane. From there, it jutted past the farm of Tom Robson until it came to the low, concrete, Sturgeon Creek bridge which had been erected late that spring. During that time period the game of golf was sweeping across North America and by mid-decade a group of Leamington area men decided to build a course. Part of what spurred them on was the fact that the neighboring town of Kingsville was building one and they felt Leamington could do the same. George Evans, Roland Logan, Dr. James Turnbull, James Bradford and James W. Maize became the founders of the Leamington Golf and Country Club. Financial assistance and initiative were provided by others like Earl Awrey, L.A. Ewald and locals Alvin Bunn and Forest Bunn, as well as some avid golfers from the Detroit area. Awrey, a lawyer in Leamington, used his skills to broker a deal between landowners Amelia M. Burkitt, L.N. Malott and Dr. Charles L. Pickell. On March 29, 1926, a charter was granted to form the Leamington Golf and Country Club Incorporated by the Province of Ontario. The biggest challenge was to lure a golf pro and teach area residents the game. They lured Robert T. Gray Sr. to design and build the links, but long before the course was even started, Gray gave lessons atop the roof of Brown’s Hotel (now vacant lot corner of Talbot E. and Princess) and the McIntyre Harness Shop (where the International Hotel stands today). The land was a mixture of Brookston clay and sand with its Lake Erie setting its most powerful attraction. Gray’s forerunner of the course was a three-hole venue at the Leamington Fairgrounds in 1925. By the 1927 first annual meeting of general shareholders, approximately 75 shares had been bought and would constitute about 40 per cent of all shares eventually sold. The course’s first decade was critical. Often bankruptcy knocked at the door, but through the wisdom of its directors and hard work of people like James Bradford and Fred Mutrie, money was saved and the course survived. Late in 1926, as the course was under construction, heavy rains affected the planting of its initial grass seed. The adverse weather allowed Gray to finish only about half of the first nine-hole layout

prior to winter’s onset. Early in 1927, the course opened with nine holes being playable. The course’s first hole was that of today’s modern number five, followed by numbers six and seven with the final hole being today’s number 16. Gray utilized the small acreage well and created his vision of a “modern Canadian Scottish links.” Its fairways traps he placed were not only to provide as a hazard but also to prevent errant shots from heading into adjacent fairways, and are a prevalent feature along with narrow fairways. Thanks to a government program, Gray was able to populate the course with trees grown from seedlings supplied by local nurseries. The trees, like the traps, were strategically placed, too. One of the most famous trees was an oak in the middle of fairway 10. Unfortunately, it and one like it at hole #3 are no longer there. Gray had one helper, a few horses and a plow, and no water (sprinkler) system. In 1928 the course solved the water problem by building a pumping station which drew water from the lake, and for a short time the course sold water at a rate of $10 per season. By the late 1930s the price was raised to $25. The course’s first nine holes opened on June 20, 1927 and the entire 18-hole layout was unveiled on July 2, 1928. Gray determined the length of each hole by hitting golf balls – most holes were determined only by shots until an area for a green would be created. Robert Trail Gray, a Scotsman who had come to Canada in the 1910s, was also the club’s first pro – a job he held until 1935. He had six daughters and three sons, all of whom played golf. Not only would his son Robert Jr. become a well-known golfer and golf pro, but his daughter Anne would become his assistant and was known as a premier female golfer. Gray started at a salary of $1,600 in 1926, and because of the Depression and difficulties attracting members, by 1935 he was making a paltry $850. He had designed a nine-hole course outside St. Thomas, then worked at London’s Hunt and Country Club before designing and becoming the pro at Chatham Golf and Country Club before his tenure at Leamington. He returned to Chatham in 1936 and stayed until retirement in 1953. He passed away in November 1955. The course re-established itself as the Erie Shores Golf and Country Club in the mid-1960s. They tracked down all its original shares and issued new ones. The result was a golf course which belonged to its members and one which was non-profit. Erie Shores still retains its original Scottish flavor as designed by Gray, although quite a few additions and changes have altered it throughout the years. Without the great help of its many volunteers, workers and members throughout the years, it would not have conquered the challenges it has faced and be the premier course it is today.

Birdies were flying for Talbot Trail senior golfers

By Bob McLean The Talbot Trail senior men’s league had 58 golfers on July 12 who played into a refreshing breeze. There were 11 birdies flying about the course: #1 Fred Michano, BW and Kreug; #2 Chopper; #6 Fred Michano and Al Matthews; #5 Gerry Van Deven and 92-year-old Murray Cascadden; #6 Fred and Al; #8 Arkey; #9 Jerry Paine, Neil Adamson and

Gary Marentette. Golfers on #5 were somewhat amazed when Gerry van Deven exploded his 292-yard drive onto the #5 green. Amazing stuff, Gerry! Ray la Pierre potted a beautiful 23-foot putt on #2 to win the LP. His playing partner, Fred, hit a magnificent shot on #9 to within three feet of the cup to merit the CP. In the 50-69y division,

Ken Kreuger continued his dominance with his very impressive 37. Both Jamie Arquette and Fred Michano shot excellent 39s. Nasher continued his superb play with a terrific 41. Other notable results: Gerry Van 44; Gary Hillier, Tim Stevenson and Dan Tymec 47s; Gary Marentette, Paul Carioli and Ed Fraser 48s. You made the news, Ed! The 70-79y grouping

was led by the brilliant 40 result shot by Al Matthews. He nipped Chopper’s awesome 41. Other noteworthy results: Pearcie 43; Schmidty 44; BW, Bobo, Chuck McKenzie 45s; Other satisfying results: Jerry Paine, Ray, la Pierre, and Rick 46s; Mac Hyatt, Wayne Humber, Dave Dent and Nick Peters 47s; Scoop and Dave Dibbley 49s. Nifty fifty scores went to

newcomer Angelo Gabriele, Ed Regehr and Doug Langlois. Joe Vrtel led the 80-85y section with a superb 46. Other commendable results were: Cracker 47, Gary Wilson 48, Conrad Babkirk and Neil Adamson 51s. Andy Orsini also had a commendable result. Dave La Bonte led the Super Senior gold division with his masterful 45. Carl Robinson and Gerry

Becigneul followed with superb 49 and 51 results respectfully. Erle and Murray merited satisfying results. Walter Balsam and Tom Hyatt continued their inspiring play with terrific 49s. My riding partner, Bill Edwards, had a praiseworthy result. We can all challenge ourselves to improve our games, but remember to “Just Have Fun”!

1932 Ford bought for $125 Tommy Henderson was born in 1940 and grew up in Toronto. In 1959, he bought a 1932 Ford two-door sedan in original condition for $125. But it didn’t stay that way. Tommy had been buying all the latest hot rod magazines and knew exactly what he wanted. Under the hood, Tommy installed a 324 cubic inch Olds Rocket V8 with Isky high lift cam, solid

lifters, and three two-barrel carbs. Dual exhausts were a must, and a Cadillac transmission handled all the increase in horsepower. Now Tommy could squeal his tires every time a red light turned green. And speaking of green, Tommy finished off his car in Amazon Green Metallic, a Dodge colour more dazzling than any colour Henry Ford ever thought of.

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk

This hot rod won first place at every show Tommy entered, and he drove it to California and back on a holiday. The supreme honour came in 2003 when Rod & Custom magazine issued a hardbound book to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. Tommy’s ’32 Ford was included, the only car from Canada in the book! Tommy sold it a few

years ago to make room for his 1947 Ford convertible. The ’32 went to Chicago, then California, and now resides in Hawaii. Tommy and his girlfriend visited the current owner and saw the car again. Lots of great memories! Always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.

Uncle Jack’s baseball camp comes to Leamington

By Greg Coulter Kevin Paradis and B.J. Richardson enjoyed baseball on the west end of Windsor as youngsters and continued through their adult years, spending many seasons of senior ball with the Windsor Chiefs. Kevin, growing up with a single mom, has never forgotten the support he received from his Uncle Jack Paradis. Before Jack’s passing two years ago,

2021 was their first event in Tecumseh and this year they partnered with Leamington this week and will be in Belle River in August. They also make use of a baseball simulator at the Central Park rec complex in Windsor. Thanks to generous sponsorships, the camp is entirely free for all kids, including lunch. There were two sessions running from 9:00-2:30, open

they spoke of running some youth baseball clinics. They witnessed the success of the Knobby’s Kids’ hockey program in Windsor, so Kevin and B.J. decided to give a baseball camp a try. “It is something that honours the memory of my uncle,” said Kevin. “He was truly like a father to me, took me everywhere and always followed my baseball career.”

Hot bats continue to give lift to Thrift Leamington’s Intermediate Girls, MCC Thrift Shop, continued their torrid July, with two more wins this past weekend. On Thursday, July 14, the Thrift girls gritted out a 23-21 win against Essex. Going into the seventh down by one, the Thrift girls turned the heat on as doubles by Rebeka Yammine, Ella Patterson-Quenneville and Rachel Symons put Leamington up by three. Pressure going into the bottom, the Thrift’s defense held and cool pitching by Elise Wikinson

put the road game into the win column. Special mention to Emma Brown, who’s recovering from a lower leg injury, but wanted to contribute and went 4-for-6. On Saturday, July 16, it all came together for the Thrift girls. Building on their two previous wins, the girls defeated Belle River 35-10. The impressive offense was led by Makenna Weaver going 7-for-7 and Olivia Scratch going 6-for-6. Pure power was displayed by Teagan Marentette, who drove

the ball hard all game and went 6-for-7 with a homer, a grand slam and two triples. It was another great pitching game by Elise Wilkinson, who held Belle River to three runs through five innings. Special callout to Lizzeth Herrera and Becky Harms for their help over the weekend, with a short MCC squad. Also, a big thank you to coach Jackie Scratch, who’s pre-game pep talk helped put the girls in the best mindset. “Three wins in a row, that’s what they call a

Pet of the Week

Hello, my name is Smiley and I am looking for my forever home! I have spent the last 4 weeks in a foster home where I have been loved and taken great care of. No cats please! Here is a message from my foster! “If you’ve been looking to adopt a perfect dog, Smiley is the answer to your prayers! Smiley is friendly, calm and oh so sweet! She’s an older girl but she can still keep up on a short walk. Morning walks are her favourite since it’s cooler! You can tell she’s a retired sled dog in the first half of her walk because she tugs a bit. She definitely stops to smell the roses (aka poles, trees, bushes) but by the second half, she is walking right by her buddy (aka YOU!). You don’t have to worry about cleaning any messes in the house, she will let you know when she needs out. She’s a talkative dog from time to time and just wants to be heard. Smiley is a friendly, calm, loving, perfect dog. Whoever adopts Smiley will be better off for it!” Fill out an application if you think I might be the dog for you!
