CANADA DAY IN THE SUN PARLOUR

The weekend was bustling with activity as local residents celebrated Canada Day in style. In addition to Canada Day events, the Leamington Arts Centre’s Arts At The Marina returned, as well as the Wheatley Fish Festival. On the left, the fireworks lit up the night sky on Saturday evening at Seacliff Park after being postponed on Friday. In the photo on the right, young Lachlan Morris isn’t sure about the horse ride, but employees from Sarah Parks Horsemanship were on hand in Kingsville to make sure he had the best time ever.

Hotel expansion gets by-law amendment

By Mark Ribble Leamington Council approved a zoning by-law amendment at 279 Erie Street South as part of a public meeting held on June 28. The meeting was presided over by Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke in the absence of Mayor Hilda MacDonald. The by-law amendment received a report to council from administration on the amendment, which asked council to consider approval before proceeding any further with an expansion project at the Quality Inn property. A previous amendment request by the applicant had been deferred from a meeting earlier this spring, with time to make some changes and submit a planning justification report. The property is currently zoned Commercial Highway Zone (C2-9). The plan proposes a demolition of 16 existing rooms and construction of a five-storey addition of 29 rooms, a new 460 sq. metre banquet facility and on-site parking. There will be a total of 72 rooms, the meeting/banquet hall and 116 parking spaces, plus four barrier-free parking spaces. Applicants asked for the amendment to de-

crease landscaped open spaces, property setbacks and parking requirements. The current by-law would require 127 parking spaces. The applicants were present at the meeting to answer questions and assure council that parking was adequate for the facility. The design was circulated among the public early in June with no written or oral comments coming forward. Councillor John Hammond was concerned about the residences to the immediate south of the hotel property and how they would be impacted, while Councillor Paul Tiessen was concerned about the parking requirements. Applicant Dharmesh Patel stated that feedback from the neighbours has been very positive. “We have a real issue with parking already,” said Councillor Tiessen. “What happens when the parking lot is full? We already know that the Shoppers plaza can get full already.” Tiessen added that reducing the number of rooms to add parking spaces would not be his preference. “This is a great addition to Leamington and is much needed,” he said. “Is it possible to reduce the size of the banquet area?”

David Barnard, representing applicants Dharmesh and Ravi Patel, spoke on the parking issue and what the parking study done by the applicants represented. “I’m sure your by-law was written back in the ’90s, but times have changed,” he said. “The study is more informed, more up to today’s trends on what the parking should be. We’ve gone over and above in this application to actually look at and analyze the parking.” “For the last three years, I’ve been tracking the parking every night and we still continue to do so,” added Dharmesh Patel. “Even when we’re sold out, we’ve never used up the whole parking lot.” “Our hotel is more of a corporate hotel in those events, most of the companies that send people, they all carpool,” he added. “I can understand if every person had a car, but we’ve never experienced that.” Council was then put to a vote, and they passed the by-law amendment unanimously. Under the provisions of the Planning Act, the by-law amendment will now be circulated and a 20-day period will commence where objections can be made to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

Leamington fills vacant council seat with Heather Latam By Mark Ribble Heather Latam was sworn in as the newest member of Leamington Council on Thursday, June 30. She fills the seat left void by the departure of Trevor Jones, who was

recently elected as the area’s MPP in the June 2 provincial election. The mother of five is excited to be onboard. “I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to serve and get familiar with the role,” said La-

Jones, Leardi appointed The two recently elected Members of Provincial Parliament in this region have been appointed as parliamentary assistants. Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Trevor Jones has been appointed par-

liamentary assistant to the Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Lisa Thompson. Essex Riding MPP Anthony Leardi was similarly appointed, as parliamentary assistant to

tam. “This puts forth a good role model for my kids.” Latam said she didn’t hesitate when she got the call about filling the seat. “When I ran four years ago and lost by such a small margin, I knew

the Ontario Minister of Mines, George Pirie. Both local MPPs were newly elected to their seats in the June 2 provincial election.

there might be an opportunity,” she said, “So for me it was an easy decision.” Latam finished with 2,555 votes in the 2018 municipal election, good enough for seventh place. Five councillors were elected and Jones finished in sixth place with 2,582 votes, but was appoint-

ed to the vacant chair left by the sudden passing of Councillor John Jacobs in November 2020. Heather Latam was sworn in by Leamington’s Director of Legal and Legislative Services, Ruth Orton, before having a short photo opportunity with Mayor Hilda MacDonald, who was happy to have

her aboard. “I’m very excited to have Heather on the team,” she said. “I think she’ll be a great addition.” Latam will spend the next few months getting acquainted with council duties prior to the upcoming municipal election in November.

Leamington company takes stance on plastics

By Mark Ribble A Leamington-based company is doing their part to help reduce single-use plastics. Westmoreland Topline Farms has recently become the first in Canada to ship English cucumbers that are not wrapped in plastic. Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dino DiLaudo spoke to the Sun last week while on his way to Toronto to see his cukes in action at grocery stores in the GTA. “We’re on our way to see the cucumbers in the grocery stores,” he said as he travelled with his Director of Marketing and Business Development, Joe Talbourdet. An American Company called Apeel Science — founded in 2012 — has developed a spray-on

edible coating that has allowed Topline to eliminate wrapping their long English cucumbers in plastic. The micro-thin coating, called Edipeel, is made from the seeds and skins of fruit and vegetables. It is applied at the Westmoreland site in Leamington and can virtually eliminate the use of plastic in the industry. DiLaudo says they have completely eliminated plastic from their English cukes and sent their first shipment off to grocery stores on June 19. The cukes — previously wrapped individually in plastic, then packaged in threes with another wrap of plastic — are now just simply three cucumbers with a paper band around them. Apeel Science provides

the Edipeel coating to Westmoreland Topline and they have taken one of the first steps in the country to eliminating single use plastics. According to DiLaudo, the difference will be substantial as they go through tonnes of plastic wrap every year, which does not break down and is not recyclable. It simply ends up in the landfill. Shelf-life comparisons so far show that the Edipeel helps the cucumbers stay greener and crisper longer than plastic wrap. Trials have been ongoing for several months with the new technology and DiLaudo credits Talbourdet with getting the ball rolling. “Over the last two years, Joe has been instrumental in getting this

ing single-use plastics in the produce department just makes sense. Apeel’s unique plant-based protection keeps cucumbers just as fresh as plastic wrap, resulting in less food waste and less plastic pollution. Apeel-protected cucumbers have been in-store for just over a week, and we have already seen positive feedback from consumers.” According to DiLaudo, removing the plastic from one load of cucumbers is

equivalent to removing 100,000 plastic straws from the system. “Everybody should have an ambition to reduce single use plastics,” he said. “We expect this to be the accepted practice in cucumbers in the future.” The move comes at the right time, as the federal government recently announced a plan to ban some single-use plastics over the next year or so.

ESHC modifies COVID protocols

Acknowledging a lower community spread of COVID-19, Erie Shores HealthCare (ESHC) has adjusted some screening protocols for its patients and their families. As of July 1, 2022, ESHC moved to a passive screening process for patients and visitors to the hospital. Passive screening means visitors and patients will review signs that are posted asking that they do NOT attend the hospital as a visitor if they have specific symptoms or alert the staff to symptoms if they are a patient. Volunteers, who were welcomed back to the facility on July 1, are stationed at hospital entrances and are available to answer any questions visitors or patients may have about the passive screening process. Amendments to the ESHC Visitor Policy also increased the number of designated caregivers patients can have. Patients in the inpatient units or ICU are permitted FOUR designated caregivers, Emergency Department patients are allowed TWO, and Outpatients are allowed ONE. Only one person is permitted at a patient’s bedside at a time. More details are available on the hospital’s Visitor Information page at https://www.erieshoreshealthcare.ca/visitorhours While screening and visitor restrictions have changed at ESHC, no modifications are planned for PPE guidelines, including the requirement to wear a mask in all hospital areas. Per Public Health Ontario and Ministry of Health guidelines, active screening continues for hospital staff.

and other musings

Wow! What a weekend – kudos to those involved With the holiday weekend behind us, I must commend the three communities we serve on their determination and hard work to bring such celebrations to the people. After two years of pivoting, rethinking and recreating long-running traditions and seeing event after event cancelled or postponed, it was a tiring weekend for us at the Sun but a good indication of things to come. Over in Kingsville, the Parks and Rec staff pulled out all the stops on Canada Day with a festival built for a King(sville). The day was hot and humid, but residents and visitors alike were treated to a lot of free fun by the municipality and all of its staff and volunteers. Bouncy castles, inflatable slides, en-

tertainment and food were the order of the day as kids flocked to participate in everything offered. Friday’s fireworks were postponed to Saturday after the rain set in, but everything was well done. In Leamington, you got the double whammy as The Bank Theatre and municipality brought in two great bands Friday night — who played in a steady light rain before the fireworks were called off until Saturday. Leamington’s Mary Newland and her Blue Bayou Band agreed to return Saturday night for an encore, and timed their rendition of O Canada to end perfectly with the beginning of the much awaited fireworks. Both the Blue Bayou Band and their opener Friday — Leave Those Kids Alone — provided some great en-

tertainment. Equally popular was the Arts at the Marina. It was very heavily attended by people wanting to browse for the first time in two years. Kudos to Chad and his crew for pulling off a great event Saturday and Sunday Mark Ribble at the waterfront. Last — but far from least — is the urday — and the sold out fish fry later village of Wheatley, and more specifically the awesome Fish Festival crew — showed in the smiles on everyone’s who pulled off one heck of a celebration faces and that’s really what it is all about in a town that has had many challenges — community. While the ‘virus that shall go unmenin the past two years. The festival was three years in the tioned’ still lingers, it’s good to see those making, as the committee had planned who can get out and celebrate, do so and this big return to the harbour for the feel much more normal in the process. Hats off to everyone involved in pull2020 festival, so it’s been a long time ing these events off with such a memocoming for them. The excitement at the harbour on Sat- rable result.

Don Cleghorn’s cool 1955 Studebaker

Scott Holland (a.k.a. “Mr. Leamington”) emailed me with sad news. The last service at the Knox Presbyterian Church on Erie Street South in Leamington would be on Sunday, June 12, after which the church would close owing to declining numbers and financial

hardship. This church was built in 1891 and replaced an earlier church on the same property built in 1878. This news reminded me of a story I wrote many years ago on Don Cleghorn, whose father Hugh Cleghorn was the Presbyterian minister in Leamington. The good

reverend realized his oldest son Don was interested in cars and allowed him to customize the family car, a 1954 Ford Mainline 4-door sedan. Don installed a custom grille, shaved the rear deck, installed a cable to open the trunk from inside the car, and also installed dual exhausts with Hollywood mufflers!

Every time Dad drove to church, his car made a rumbling noise as he entered the parking lot. The local teenagers (including me) thought he was the coolest preacher in town! Later on, Don bought a low-slung ’55 Studebaker coupe and customized

SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST

Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. During an early morning walk on the Greenway Trail with my infant and dog, three off-leash and unattended dogs approached us. If I was alone with my dog, I would have felt less uneasy. Even if these dogs are deemed “friendly” by their owners, there are a few safety concerns here: the unknown dog could react to my dog, the stroller, my infant babbling – leaving me alone in a tricky or dangerous situation. Animals can have an off day or become scared of something they aren’t familiar with (i.e. a stroller). It is very unfair to leave someone else to deal with an unattended animal. Furthermore, the individual safety of these dogs is important too; they could be hit by a car or ingest something dangerous. Unfortunately, I have also encountered roaming dogs in neighbourhoods; maybe they’re trained to stay on their property, but when a new dog ap-

proaches the situation can change. I am left trying to maneuver the stroller while working with my dog to leave the situation and keep us all safe. He is calm and understands the commands “leave it” and “heel”, but he’s not perfect either. I recognize this letter may not reach the intended dog owners, but I wanted to bring awareness to the community. Maybe a neighbour who knows the owner can gently ask for the dog to be secured? Maybe someone with a free hand to make a phone call could let a by-law officer know? I’m likely not the only person who feels uncomfortable with an off-leash dog when I’m out for a walk. If dog owners don’t have a fenced yard, there is a lovely off-leash park in town for dogs to enjoy. Sincerely, Tina C.

M.D. Bennie IB Program report

By Nayeem Jonny Grade 6 Student After tremendous hard work by students, parents and staff, we’re proud to announce that we are an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) World school! If you aren’t familiar with IB, what we do as an IB school is display traits of our IB attributes while being engaged inquiry learning through trans-disciplinary themes. We learn through these six themes each and every year, from Kindergarten through to Grade 6: Who We Are, Where We Are in Place and Time, How We Express Ourselves, and How We Organize Ourselves, Sharing the Planet, and How the World Works. The Ontario Curriculum is integrated through these themes to make sure that we learn everything we need to in our province. In early March, two people from the IB team visited our school to take a look around and check out all the IB related learning we are doing. We

showed them around the school while they were recording videos and questioning some students from a few different classes. You can watch some of the videos here at https://www.publicboard.ca/en/mdbennie/ index.aspx As I mentioned earlier, one of our goals as an IB school is to display our IB attributes. The IB attributes are 10 things we can do to make ourselves better while helping to create a better world. The attributes are inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. Our Parent Council chair stated, “If all that the kids remember is our 10 IB attributes, that is still amazing because those 10 attributes can change a community.” We have seven key concepts which are integral parts of IB: form, function, causation, change, connection, perspective and responsibility. These are ways of thinking that will be useful for almost

all of our lives. As an IB school, we also try to encourage handson learning. We try and teach through experience. It helps us students develop the skill to make decisions to help us reach our end goal. In my opinion, it’s also more fun than standard learning. In the last year of the PYP, students have a celebration of learning called exhibition. We start off by choosing a topic we’re passionate about. After that, we research our topic and start creating our presentation. Our teachers make sure that we’re on track by checking up on us frequently. A small thing we do while creating our presentation is we write down the IB skills that we use the most (i.e. what attributes we used the most and key concepts) while creating our presentation. That’s a bit of what M.D. Bennie has been doing on IB recently, while looking forward to continuing our IB journey and taking action to benefit our community.

Wheatley update: RBC to open Work crews are awaiting additional equipment to continue coring the APEC 1 well nearest the site of the August 26, 2021 explosion in Wheatley. Work on the well started last week. The intent of this work is to learn more about the construction and depth of this well. No hydrogen sulfide has been detected throughout the process. Work was paused until additional equipment arrived on site, which was expected to arrive Monday. Once the investigation is complete, the activities will switch over to remediation on APEC 1. A total of 58 properties, being residential or commercial, have been affected by the reductions of the evacua-

tion area. Each of those properties was deemed unsafe by Building Development Services and orders prohibiting use or occupancy were issued. To date, orders on 15 residential and six commercial properties have been rescinded, which allows those property owners to move back into their homes or open their businesses. Of the 34 homeowners who were evacuated after the explosion, 10 homeowners have returned home with others expected to do so shortly. The Royal Bank ATM is currently open and the branch will re-open on Monday, July 11 at 9:30 am The RBC mobile unit at the arena is now closed.

UFCW SUPPORTS MIGRANTS WORKERS

Canada’s food workers’ union published its annual Status of Migrant Agricultural Workers Report at the UFCW Canada Agricultural Worker Support Centre in Leamington on Sunday, June 26. Leamington is the epicentre of factory greenhouse farming in Canada, which is a multi-billion-dollar business that uses tens of thousands of migrants from the Global South every year. The special COVID-19 report highlights the increasing vulnerability experienced by migrant workers in the wake of a deadly pandemic which has already claimed the lives of nine workers.The report makes 20 recommendations that must be implemented as part of a desperately needed overhaul of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP) to more adequately address the well-evidenced vulnerability that migrant workers experience. Migrant workers joined UFCW activists for the report launch, as did Mexican Congressman and Federal Deputy for Migration Alejandro Robles, who made the trip from Mexico to be part of the announcement and solidarity event hosted at the Leamington support centre.

on July 12, 2022

50 years ago on July 8, 1972 Ev and I joined in Christian marriage. We have celebrated numerous successes and accomplishments as husband and wife; as parents; as community volunteers; and as teachers. We acknowledge that our family has experienced several early losses of loved ones, but we are grateful to God for seeing us through those difficult times. We smile on this special occasion as we are thankful for happy healthy children and grandchildren and hope to enjoy more years with each other.

mia fundraiser barbecue in the parking lot of the Cavendish production plant in Wheatley.

Love your family

Onsite personnel from the day and afternoon shifts of Cavendish and Milo Fais — for a nominal fee — were treated to a feast of burgers, hot dogs, chicken breast and an assortment of Cavendish appetizers. There was also a huge draw prize table for meal guests, with 64 prizes donated by local businesses. Union representatives travel throughout the province at selected facilities holding these barbecues, with all funds raised donated to leukemia research. Prior to COVID, this annual event had raised thousands of dollars. About 180 people took part in this year’s festivities, with tomatoes and other produce donated by Lakeside Produce and Mucci Farms. Anything left over was donated to the Leamington Food Bank. This year’s Wheatley event raised $1,400.

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of

JAMES BERTRAM BRIGGS July 8, 1924 - April 3, 2014

Those who have passed from this world die only when we, whom they loved, forget them. So many things have happened, since you were called away, So many things to share with you, had you been left to stay. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane. I would walk right up to heaven, and bring you back again. My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you - no one can ever know. Since you’ll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today A hollowed place within my heart, is where you’ll always stay.

Love your Kids and Grandkids xoxo

So we'll celebrate your birthday July 8 but spend it missing you. Yesterday, Today, Forever. Sharon and family

In Loving Memory of

ElsiE WiglE April 24, 1934 – July 9, 2017

Dear Mom, it’s been 5 years... Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch, We still have so many memories, of you, who we loved so much. Memories are our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Sadly missed, but never forgotten. Love June & Richard Medel, Bertha & Jim McMillan and family

Repeatedly calling 911 results in charges On Saturday, June 11, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Lakeshore Detachment received a call for a non-emergent neighbour dispute on Renaud Line Road in Lakeshore. At that time, officers were already responding to priority calls and the caller was advised that the officers would contact him once they were available. Over the course of the next three and a half hours, the complainant made 20 calls to 911. The complainant was continuously educated on the proper use of

911. As a result, a 47-year-old Lakeshore man was charged with public mischief and harassing communications. He will appear in court in July. “This is a dangerous misuse of resources that wasted valuable time of our communication operators that could have been assisting a member of the public with a real emergency,” said Constable Steven Duguay, Essex County OPP.

Leave Those Kids Alone wowed the crowd on Friday evening as they opened for the Blue Bayou Band at Seacliff Park.

he Canada Day weekend brought thousands of residents and visitors together for events in Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley. Each community also had something else to celebrate, with Kingsville Open Streets, Leamington’s Arts at the Marina and Wheatley’s Fish Festival adding to the fun. The weather cooperated except for a small bit of rain on Friday evening, which postponed the Leamington and Kingsville fireworks until Saturday night. Wheatley’s fireworks went off Sunday night, capping a very successful return for the annual Fish Festival. The weekend kicked off in Kingsville on Friday with a free Canada Day celebration at the arena and sports complex that included bouncy castles, rides, crafts, entertainment and food. Caldwell First Nation was also

on hand to kick off the opening ceremonies with a smudging and drum presentation. Saturday, Open Streets began for the summer and was very well attended. Wheatley’s festivities began Friday evening with the annual smoked fish contest hosted by the Legion, followed by live music from Crossroads at the Talbot Trail Golf Club. Saturday, the festival moved to the waterfront as the great tug of war and tote box races highlighted the events down there. Then the focus shifted to the arena, where the sold out fish fry was followed by a Jody Raffoul Band concert. Sunday, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary hosted breakfast, followed by a boat parade and finished with a great fireworks display, sponsored by Jack Liddle and family. The Mother Tuggers won the

Matt and Andy Anthony compete in the Fish Fest tote races.

Tug of War and the team of Satchel Brouwer and Tyler Dibbley took the tote races. Leamington’s Canada Day consisted of Leave Those Kids Alone opening for Mary Newland and the Blue Bayou Band, with the rain putting a damper on the fireworks. Mary and her band agreed to return Saturday night and entertain the crowd, finishing their last note just as the fireworks began. Arts at the Marina, with over 60 vendors, returned for the first time since 2019 and Arts Centre Director Chad Riley was pleased with the turnout. “Two beautiful days of sunshine,” he said. “It’s great to be back out doing this.” Hundreds of visitors browsed many different booths and enjoyed food and entertainment along the waterfront under the weekend-long sunshine.

Every tug of war contestant gave their all at the Fish Fest.

One of the more popular stops at the Kingsville Canada Day celebration was the inflatable giant slide.

One of the many vendor stops at the Arts at the Marina on Saturday and Sunday at Leamington Marina.

Even the younger generation got into the drum presentation by the First Nations drummers in Kingsville on Friday.

Vendors were happy to answer questions that shoppers had about their products at the Arts at the Marina event.

Members of the Fish Festival committee hitched a ride on the Tequila Sunrise for the boat parade.

The tote box races were brought back for the first time in several years and put smiles on the faces of competitiors and spectators alike. Satchel Brouwer and Tyler Dibbley took the trophy.

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time

Cedar Beach Drug Store, owned by Photo courtesy of the Kingsville Archives Red Morris, 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.

Looking back column on hiatus

You may notice something missing on this page. Our wealth of knowledge site, ink.ontario.ca, where we retrieve all of the old Leamington Post and Kingsville Reporter copy from days gone by, has been down for two weeks and shows no sign of starting back up anytime soon. We’ve enjoyed bringing you glimpses of Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley over the past two years, but without access to that valuable site, we cannot do it justice. We will keep an eye on the site and if it comes back up, we may be able to resume our weekly Looking Back column at a later date. Meanwhile, we will continue to print the old photos you see on the other half of the page and will fill this section with other items.

Tales of an American hero When baseball fans think of Babe Ruth, we think about the greatest slugger baseball has ever known. Those of us who are older remember the William Bendix portrayal of Ruth in the 1948 movie The Babe Ruth Story. If you are of a younger crowd, you’ll remember John Goodman’s portrayal in The Babe from 1992. Those who are baseball purists and staunch fans of the game have read and seen stories of the Great Bambino throughout the years and his exploits are those of which legends are made. One such story that has not been published a whole lot is the story of the death of his first wife, Helen. Helen and Babe had been married since 1914, when Babe was a 19-yearold rookie with the Boston Red Sox and Helen was a

mere 16 years old. In 1922, while playing for the Yankees, Babe and Helen showed up at spring training with a 15-month-old daughter in tow. Her name was Dorothy, and the Ruths claimed they had adopted her, which was only a half-truth. Turns out, in Dorothy’s later-published life story, Dorothy had learned in adulthood that she had been adopted by the Ruths. The only detail they left out was that Babe was Dorothy’s biological father and her biological mother was Babe’s mistress. Babe and Helen separated in 1925 and Helen moved in with a local dentist in Sudbury, Massachusetts, while Babe stayed in New York while playing for the Yankees. On January 11, 1929, the house that Helen was living in burned down and

the fire claimed her life. Her dentist boyfriend was not home at the time, and young Dorothy was away at boarding school. Babe found out about her death a couple of days later, when the dentist, Dr. Edward Kinder, claimed Helen to be his wife. Babe made an announcement that he and Helen were still legally married and conducted an interview where he broke down sobbing. The doctor and the ballplayer were both cleared of any wrongdoing in Helen’s death and Babe was front and centre at her funeral, where it was said he was quite emotional. The dentist did not attend. Three months later, Babe married his second wife Claire, who was with him until he died in August of 1948.

Blast from the Past - Barrie Examiner, 1978

Municipality of Leamington Notice of Study Completion Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Pump Station #200 The Municipality of Leamington retained the services of RC Spencer Associates Inc. to complete the Class Environmental assessment (EA) for the relocation and upgrading for the existing sanitary sewage Pump Station No. 200 located on Robson Road at Bruce Avenue in the Municipality of Leamington. The relocation and upgrading have been evaluated due to the need for renewal for the existing pump station infrastructure. The major features of the preferred alternative design are as follows: •Decommissioning of the existing pump station; •Decommissioning of the existing 150mm diameter forcemain from the existing pump station to the new tie‐in point northerly; •Decommissioning of approximately 30m of existing 250mm diameter sanitary gravity sewer; •Construction of a new pump station complete within the current municipal property immediately east of Mun. No. 24 Robson Road; •Construction of a new 150mm dia. Forcemain from the new pump station to reconnect to the existing forcemain to the north; •Replacement of the gravity sanitary sewer with a new directionally‐drilled 300mm diameter gravity sanitary sewer north of the Robson Road; • No asphalt road reconstruction is necessary and no traffic detouring; • New asphalt parking area and commercial driveway off Robson Road for maintenance of the pumping station. This study has been completed under the planning and design process for a Schedule B project as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment available on the municipal website at www.leamington.ca/projects A Public Consultation was held from May 25, 2022 through to June 8, 2022, to provide necessary background and information needed to determine the renewal and relocation of the pump station.

Date: The application will be heard by Council on Tuesday, July 26, 2022. Time: 6:00 PM Location: Electronic Meeting - Due to COVID-19 and restrictions on public gatherings, this meeting will be held in a virtual forum through electronic participation only. There will not be an in-person meeting. You may view the meeting on the Municipality’s website at www.leamington.ca/live. A public meeting has been scheduled to provide information to Council and the public, as well as to receive input on a proposed zoning amendment for the former Leamington District Secondary School site located at 125 Talbot Street West. The Municipality acquired the property in 2020 to encourage the development of attainable and affordable housing to address the current housing shortage in Leamington. A conceptual plan to provide insight into the possible redevelopment of the subject property has been provided for illustration and discussion purposes only. The Zoning By-law Amendment application has been initiated by the Municipality to change the current zoning of the property from Institutional (I) to a site specific Residential (R4) Zone to allow for future mixed-use and residential development. The Zoning By-law Amendment will provide for opportunities for residential intensification and includes limited mixed-use opportunities for residentially supportive commercial uses of daycare centres, retail stores, and personal service uses. The proposed amendment seeks to permit a range and variety of housing types including low rise structures such as semidetached dwellings, townhouses and multi-unit dwellings, as well as apartmentstyle buildings not exceeding 6 storeys in height. The amendment will also establish site specific zone provisions for residential parking ratios and zoning provisions for the proposed commercial uses. The amendment is being considered together with studies prepared by Dillon Consulting Ltd in support of the proposed mixed use residential development including a Functional Servicing Study, storm water management and sanitary servicing briefs, a Transportation Impact Study and a Planning Justification Report. Any person may make written and/or verbal comments either in support of or in opposition to the application(s). If you are an owner of property containing seven (7) or more residential units, you are requested to post this notice in a location visible to all residents. Please note that if you wish to provide oral comments at the electronic meeting, you must register in advance by emailing clerks@leamington.ca or calling 519-326-5761 extension 1121 prior to 12:00 pm the date of the meeting. Once you register, you will be contacted by the Clerk’s Department and provided information on how to make your submission at the electronic meeting by electronic participation. To participate, you will need access to a computer or tablet with internet service or a telephone. As an alternative to attending the meeting, written correspondence may be submitted to the Clerk no later than 12:00 PM on the date of the meeting. Please email clerks@leamington.ca or drop it in the Leamington Municipal Building mail slot located to the right of the rear entrance off of the Queens Avenue parking lot. The Municipal Building is located at 111 Erie Street North, Leamington, Ontario, N8H 2Z9. Please note, written correspondence may be included on the agenda which will be published on the municipal website and will form part of the public record. If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Leamington to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submission to The Corporation of the Municipality of Leamington before the by-law is passed or refused, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

PULLING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT

As fun as the Wheatley Fish Festival Tug of War across the harbour was for spectators, the competitors felt the physical exhaustion of trying to pull their opponents into submission. Here, Chuck Terron was the front man for his team in Saturday’s tug of war. He’s digging in

to hold the line against his opponents on the other side of the harbour as tug official Jodi Mummery signals the start. The tug of war and tote box races were two of the more popular events of the weekend. More photos are on pages 12-13 of this issue. SUN photo

Thrift Shop girls beat Essex 9-6 in county slo-pitch play With the Canada Day long weekend came some great local baseball. Leamington‘s Intermediate girls slo-pitch team, MCC Thrift Shop, defeated a tough Essex team by a score of 9-6. “Our Thrift Shop girls played their best game of the season, made all the plays they’ve been prac-

ticing,” said coach Tim Wilkinson. “It’s good to see it come together.” Leading the hitting attack was Teagan Marentette, whose home run to centre field in the second inning tied the game 4-4. Showing off their extra base power was Makenna Weaver with a triple and Elise Wilkinson with a

double. In the fourth, the Thrift Shop took charge of the game by scoring five times. Olivia Scratch, who hit the ball hard all game, led off with a single. Ella Patterson Quenneville, Aurora Willson and Emily Carnegie delivered the RBIs. Rachel Symons and

Elyse Couto contributed timely singles, helping put the game away for good. Elise Wilkinson and Teagan Marentette combined for the win on the mound, with Teagan’s knuckleball keeping the Essex bats cold with four strikeouts. Dynamite defence

was on display throughout the game, with all of the girls making plays. “More wins coming our way with a defence like this,” said coach Todd Marentette. “Great game all around.”
