Lakeside splashpad officially opens in Kingsville

By Mark Ribble On Friday, May 27 at 11 am, the Lakeside Park splashpad began official operation as Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos was the first to be doused with a large bucket of water.

“We are excited to formally open the splashpad in this location and bring this new outdoor recreation offering to kids and families in our community,” said Mayor Santos. “The weather is warming up, and this

splashpad will provide a convenient location for kids to come out, cool off, and of course, have some fun.”

The splashpad is located on the upper bowl of Lakeside Park and is accompanied by a brand new building housing changerooms. It features 20 spray elements and 14 water play elements, including the giant continuously filling bucket that soaked the mayor only moments after his speech.

The Kingsville Optimist Club contributed $10,000 toward the facility, with the Rotary Club of Kingsville Southshore donating the water refill station and TCI Titan Contracting supplying the catchy new sign.

A few young patrons were patiently waiting for the splashpad opening and took advantage as soon as the water was turned on.

The facility is open from 9 am to 9 pm seven days a week and all are welcome.

Consulate signs memorandum with Hiatus House

By Mark Ribble An important partnership was cemented last week as the Consulate of Mexico in Leamington hosted officials from Hiatus House to establish a collaborative framework to increase the protection of Mexican nationals who are victims of intimate partner violence.

The memorandum of understanding was signed at the Consulate

by Mexican Consul Vanessa Calva Ruiz and Executive Director of Hiatus

House Sylvie Guenther.

The memorandum of understanding will strengthen the local collaboration framework and resources that the consulate has to support Mexican victims of intimate partner violence and/or human trafficking by connecting them to services and support that Hiatus House offers.

This provides women and families a safe environment and supports them living empowered lives free of abuse.

Hiatus House will provide training to consulate staff and together they will promote campaigns and activities to prevent and eliminate all forms of intimate partner violence and bring awareness to the issue of human trafficking.

“The Government of Mexico welcomes the opportunity to join efforts with Hiatus House as part of our commitment to promote and defend the interest and right of women and girls,” said Consul

Calva Ruiz. “This collaboration allows us to combine resources to better serve our community and joining other key community partners and authorities in raising awareness against intimate partner violence, human trafficking and abuse. Mexico’s feminist foreign policy will continue to promote women’s right by intersectional and transversal initiatives, recognizing

our diversity and contributions.”

“Hiatus House is pleased to be entering into this relationship with the Consulate of Mexico in Leamington,” said Sylvie Guenther. “They are working with community partners to enable women who are coming to the Southwestern region of Ontario to have the best possible supports for success. We are work-

ing together to ensure that women can live in Windsor-Essex free of violence.”

The pair were joined by Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, who added, “It is not enough to offer thoughts and prayers. We have to be partners and provide resources. They are all part of this community.”

Council discusses unlicensed taxi situation

By Mark Ribble Leamington Council discussed the issue of taxi licensing at their meeting on May 24, with the revelation that — as of that day — there were no licensed taxi companies in the municipality.

Councillor Paul Tiessen brought a question to council about the amount of taxi cabs driving around Leamington without taxi licences displayed.

“What’s going on in the taxi-cab industry?” he asked.

The town’s Director of Legal and Legislative Services, Ruth Orton, said that by-law enforcement continues to investigate illegal taxis within the community.

In a discussion about illegal taxis picking up fares ahead of licensed

companies, Orton said the town takes a threepronged approach.

By-law has to first identify the vehicles that are being used as taxis and who is operating them, then an educational approach is taken, which includes educating passengers about the risk they take when they ride in an illegal taxi. This step also includes educating the drivers themselves and also reaches businesses who use their services.

“By-law enforcement has forged a relationship with the Migrant Worker Community Program,” said Orton.

She said that relationship has helped in trying to educate the migrant workers on using only licensed taxi companies.

The final step is enforcement, which in-

cludes the issuing of tickets and fines. It’s a joint effort between by-law enforcement, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ontario Provincial Police.

“The most challenging part is that charges have to be proven in court,” said Orton.

She said in order to have enforceable charges, an officer must witness first-hand, the exchange of money with an illegal taxi driver.

Tiessen also asked about taxi companies being sold, as he said that the municipality is being blamed on social media for ‘shutting down’ the taxi industry.

Orton explained that taxi companies that are sold to someone who is not already licenced must go through a number of steps, which include

inspections of vehicles among other things.

“We’re the ones taking the heat for this,” said Tiessen. “Could the process not be more seamless?”

Tiessen used the analogy of buying or selling a home, where you have to have “all your ducks in a row” before the sale can close.

Orton replied that it would certainly help the transfer of the company be more seamless.

“We have to do our due diligence to ensure all bylaw requirements are met before we issue a license,” said Orton.

She added that there are two companies currently waiting to be licensed and they should have those licenses shortly.

Tiessen then asked how many licensed taxi com-

Health Unit issues final COVID-19 update With COVID-19 numbers weaning locally in recent weeks, the Windsor Essex County Health Unit has put a halt to their once-daily updates on COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

Since the onset of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, the Health Unit provided daily updates to local media outlets in order to keep the public aware of efforts to fight the virus.

Seaclif Manor offers luxury retirement living, with 3 chef-prepared à la carte meals daily, weekly housekeeping, 24/7 care and support, and options for independent living or enhanced care.

30 Seacliff Dr. E, Leamington ON 519-326-2624 www.seacliffmanor.ca

In recent weeks, the updates were reduced to twice a week.

On Thursday, May 26, the health unit sent out its final email update.

COVID-19 numbers and statistics, including

vaccine numbers, will still be available under ‘Local Data’ on the health unit’s website at www. wechu.org.

panies there were currently in Leamington and Manager of Legislative Services Brenda Percy provided the answer.

“Right now, there are no licensed taxis within the municipality,” she replied.

They expected two license applications to be approved late last week.

Tiessen expressed concern if there is an accident involving an unlicensed and/or uninsured taxi, saying, “It’s buyer beware.”

Mayor Hilda MacDonald echoed that sentiment.

“It’s not us trying to

PAUL TIESSEN

keep the companies from operating,” she said. “It’s the municipality trying to keep the residents safe.

It’s not that complicated.”

Fish Festival returning to Wheatley July 1-2-3

By Mark Ribble The Wheatley Fish Festival is not only returning to Wheatley this year, but it’s returning with a bang.

It’s been about 15 years since Wheatley’s Fish Festival has featured harbour events like fish tug parade, tug-of-war and tote races, but the 2022 edition of the Fish Festival will include all of those things.

Committee spokesper-

son Terry Lobzun spoke to the Sun on Monday to outline the events lined up for this year’s festival.

“Wheatley has had a rough couple of years,” he said. “It’s time to let loose and celebrate.”

Lobzun says that in recent years the festival has been a bit of a subdued event compared to years gone by and the current committee has made a

considerable effort to return the festival to its glory days.

“We have the fishermen on board with this and they are happy to participate,” he said. “There is over 150 years of fishing history in this town.”

Lobzun says the committee has brought back the fish tote races across the harbour and the harbour tug-of war — two popular events from years gone by.

The committee was poised to bring all of the old events back for 2020 but the COVID pandemic put a stop to that. Now, two years later, they are excited to get going.

Friday night will kick off with the annual smoked fish contest at Talbot Trail Golf Course, followed by live music from Crossroads.

On Saturday, the focus shifts to the harbour and arena as an open market will be set up at the harbour from 10-3, with a kids treasure hunt at 10 am and the popular tugof-war teams competing at 11 am. The tote box races start at 1 pm with entertainment by Lager.

The Wheatley Arena will be hosting the famous broasted chicken and pickerel spikes dinner from 5-7 pm, followed by the Jody Raffoul Band entertaining the crowds at 8:30 pm.

On Sunday, July 3, the Wheatley Legion Ladies Auxiliary will be serving breakfast from 9am to noon at Talbot Trail Golf Club, and there will be a

fishing boat parade at the harbour at a yet-to-be-determined time.

Finally, to finish off the weekend, a giant fireworks display will be presented at the harbour starting at 10 pm Sunday.

According to Lobzun, the 2022 edition of the Fish Festival will help bring Wheatley back from the frustration of last year’s disaster.

“The timing for this is great,” he says. “With the evacuation zone being reduced this week, things are looking better. We’re looking forward to a party.”

The festival events are free and open to the public, with only the fish fry and Sunday breakfast requiring an admission fee.

If you’d like to get a team into the tug-of-war or tote races, send an email to wheatleyfishfest@outlook.com or visit their Facebook page.

Look out, here come da bugs!

As the temperatures warm and life picks up around the region, the insects have started to emerge from their long winter’s nap.

You know — the usual suspects — mosquitoes, gnats and lots of spiders.

Along with the less-than-desirable bugs, we also get the nice ones like dragonflies, butterflies and katydids. Those ones are few and far between right now, but their time is coming.

Northern Ontario is in the midst of their black fly season right now and I guess we can thank our lucky stars that we don’t have that issue down here.

Soon, however — the scourge of the Great Lakes — the almighty May Fly/ June Bug/Fish Fly/Shad Fly will make its way into this area for the annual mating, feeding and dying season.

When I was a youngster, we had them at Point Pelee but the trees surrounding us must have filtered them somewhat,

but I remember coming into town just to see those pesky creatures in the millions, swarming the light standards and gas station signs.

After we moved to town, we lived near the lake so they actually became quite a nuisance.

Of course, they’re harmless, but they are a nuisance nonetheless.

My mother called them June Bugs, so I grew up knowing them as June Bugs, when in fact a June Bug is a completely different insect — a sort of beetle.

She probably knew them as June Bugs because they usually appear in June in these parts.

As I grew older, I came to know them as May Flies but even that is a misnomer in this area. We seldom see any in May, with the bulk of them descending upon the Lake Erie shoreline in late June and early July.

We usually have a week or two of real-

ly bad mornings where they are piled up in the gutters or swarming our windows and doors.

And don’t even try to walk across the lawn on those mornings. You’ll be covered in them.

Last year in the middle of the ‘season’, I made a great pasta dish that Deb and I were enjoying with a glass of wine, when I noticed one of those cursed creatures in my pasta. It must have flown in there as I was putting the pasta on the plates, but it was enough to make me throw the whole thing out. We ordered take-out.

They stink like dead fish, but experts say that the more we get, the better it bodes for the health of the lake.

Down along the Mississippi River, legend has it that the dead bugs used to pile up as deep as the hoods on the cars of the day. Then they disappeared for awhile as the river became unhealthy.

Wednesday, June 1, 2022

and other musings

RIB’S RAMBLINGS Mark Ribble So I guess when the ‘fish flies’ come, we should be thankful that our lovely Lake Erie is showing signs of good health.

I know — instead we’ll be cursing those pesky critters as they get in our hair, our food, our clothing and our cars.

Last year, there was a morning when they were piled up pretty good along Erie South in Leamington near Robson Road and cars — mine included — were skidding like they were driving on icy roads. The oily dead bugs were actually causing traffic issues before they got cleaned up.

So brace yourself, folks. It only lasts for a few weeks, but they are coming.

Just be thankful they don’t bite, or otherwise we’d be in a whole load of trouble.

1946-48 Plymouth north of town THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk Bert Jansen was born and raised in Leamington and now lives in Beachville. He recently sent me the attached photo taken in 1956 of his mother, Jo Jansen, with the family car, a 1946-48 Plymouth sedan at their home on Hwy 77 north of town.

All Plymouths built between 1946 and 1948 had identical styling because of the enormous demand for new cars following

the end of World War Two in 1945.

My grade two teacher in Toronto, Miss Jones, drove one of these Plymouths and I never thought at age seven to ask her the exact year of her car.

The first owner of the Jansen Plymouth probably bought it new at Hyatt Motors in Leamington.

Or maybe it came from Ned Derbyshire’s Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in nearby Wheatley.

It’s difficult to tell the exact colour of the Jansen Plymouth in this black

and white photo, but at least we know it was not black, the usual colour of cars back then. Bob Hatt ordered a new 1948 Plymouth from the dealer in Wheatley and it took nearly a year for the car to arrive. And when it finally came, it was yellow!

The Jansen Plymouth was powered by a flathead six with 217.8 cubic inches cranking out 95 horsepower. If you find one of these cars in a barn, the serial number is the only way you can tell the exact year.

Letter to the Editor

Reader concerned about uptown project Dear Editor: As a proud resident of our beautiful municipality of Leamington, I was horrified to read in the Southpoint Sun of the Erie and Talbot Reconstruction Project.

I drive downtown fairly often, west on Talbot

from the four corners, and north on Queen to John.

Not once while driving on this block of Queen have I observed anyone either walking or biking on what used to be parking spaces.

So PLEASE do not du-

plicate this useless, inconvenient system anywhere else and cause more people to desert the downtown and shop at the Walmart plaza where parking is abundant.

Barbara Jacobs, Leamington

Southpoint Sun - 7

Richmond Hill school mate enjoyed successful musical career In my last column we had a chance to review a large portion of the incredible career of Anne Murray, up to the mid1980s when she sort of slowed down a bit and met a brilliant new musician and producer, Steve Sexton, who I also happen to know since the late 1960s as he lived just a half a block away from my home on the same Altamira Road in Richmond Hill.

As teenagers, we played road hockey from time to time and I had been over to his house on a few occasions in the early ’70s to play and compare the records of the Beatles, Elton John and the Carpenters.

As I recall, Steve really liked the piano work by Elton John and Richard Carpenter.

We also both attended the same high school at 51 Wright Street in Richmond Hill.

Kingsville Friendly Club Members of the Kingsville Friendly Club enjoyed an afternoon of cards on Tuesday, May 24, with scores as follows: Bridge: Alta VanVliet 4550, Bert Patrick 4290, and Jean Kuipers 2470.

Euchre: Bill Fielding 87, Sharie Blythe 86, and Kathy Hedge and Mandy Hric tied with 85 each. Willy Fittler had most lone hands with 5.

Cribbage: Two people participated in Cribbage, John Bigley 1135 and Sue Girardin 1116.

On Friday, May 27, 26 members of the Kingsville Friendly Club participated with the following results.

Bridge: Roy Trowell 2990, Bob Bell 2300, and Bert Patrick 2120.

Euchre: Sharie Blythe 92, Nancy Taylor 87, and Marie Geeves 83. Nancy Taylor had most lone hands with 5.

Pepper: Kay Peters 277, Bill Fielding 273, and Kathy Hedge 255. Bill Fielding had most Peppers with 7.

After graduating from Richmond Hill High School, Steve went on to receive a music degree at University of Western Ontario and then a performance degree from the Western Ontario Conservatory of Music.

After that he began playing in local bands before joining Alfie Zappacosta’s group, Surrender, and being the keyboardist for Tom Cochrane and Red Rider from 1982 to 1984 on their albums “Breaking Curfew” and “Neruda”, which I still happen to have in my own record collection at home.

Sexton was actually asked to work with Anne Murray in 1983. He said he “remembers it being a tough decision.” But he made it and began work-

Five Alarm spices up Bank Theatre stage this weekend

By Greg Coulter Things will be cookin’ this weekend and next as the Sun Parlour Players take to the stage at The Bank Theatre for the play

“Five Alarm”.

It’s a lighthearted look at the serious competition for best chili recipe. The scene is set where Killaloe residents gather each

year for honour and the cash prize at the annual Wayne Rose Memorial Chili Cook-Off. The play is enthusiastically co-directed by Sha-

Cast members of Five Alarm rehearsing a scene from the comedy that starts Friday, June 3 at The Bank Theatre. From left are Cristina Orlando (Ellen), Linda Collard (Ava), Cindy Pastorius (Connie) and Joey Ouellette (Tucker).

ron and David Light.

Musicians by trade, they have eagerly chosen to venture into the directors’ roles.

The music for the play is written and composed

by David, noting that each character has their own musical composition.

The production has teamed with the local schools to encourage children to take an interest in the arts, and the stage will be outfitted with props made by the students.

The five headline actors — Linda Collard, Cristina Orlando, Cindy Pastorius, Joey Ouellette and Kyle C. Haight — have been working diligently since March and are ready to take to the stage in front of an audience. The cast has extensive acting experience and, as Sharon Light noted, they quickly

came together as a tight knit cohesive group.

Show times are Friday, June 3 and June 8, and Saturday June 4 and June 11 at 7:30 pm. Sunday matinees are at 2:30 pm on June 5 and 12.

Doors open half hour prior to show time. Tickets are $20 plus HST and

are available at the theatre box office Thursday to Saturday from 11 am to 1 pm or online at banktheatre.com.

You can also read up on the cast and many other happenings on The Bank Theatre website and Facebook page.

Dear Daddy and Gegee: If I could write a story it would be the greatest told…

Of a kind and loving father who had a heart of gold.

I could write a million pages but still be unable to say…

Just how much I love and miss him, every single day.

I will remember all he taught me I’m hurt but won’t be sad…

As he’ll always send me down the answers and he’ll always be MY DAD. Loved and Missed Mary Jane, Sandra & kids xoxoxox

Thank you!

Thank you to all the friends that sent cards, flowers and e-mail messages of condolence at this sad time in our family. Your kind gestures gave us courage to cope at what was a difficult time.

TO HONOUR YOU

To honour you, I get up every day and take a breath, and start another day without you in it.

To honour you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile, and the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.

To honour you, I take the time to appreciate everyone I love; I know there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.

To honour you, I listen to music you would have liked, and sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.

To honour you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back, risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.

You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source.

So every day, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love.

Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honour you.

Love You Forever, Brienne, Lindsey and Mom

WHEATLEY SLOWLY TAKING SHAPE

The evacuation zone fences were moved once again in downtown Wheatley on Monday morning as crews were busy pushing barricades out of the roadway, and the talk about town centered around a handful of previously affected businesses being able to open up. According to Chatham-Kent, Talbot and Erie Streets in that area will remain closed until deemed safe as mitigation work continues on the APEC 3 site. In the photo on the left, a worker is seen near the Wheatley Hotel site, as the fences have been moved to the north side of Talbot Street East. In the photo on the right, a worker watches as the last of the sandbags blocking Talbot Street West are picked up by a front-end loader.

Leamington Fair in 174th year, June 10-12

By Mark Ribble The 174th edition of the Leamington Fair will take place on June 10-12 after a two-year hiatus, and officials are promising a really big show.

Faced with another summer of uncertainty, but buoyed by announcements of other events going ahead, the Board of Directors of the Leamington District Agricultural Society decided back in March that the Leamington Fair was going to happen in 2022.

The new amusement company — World’s Finest Shows — had been procured prior to the pandemic and were set to bring the fair’s midway back to prominence before the 2020 version of the fair was cancelled.

Now, with World’s Finest Shows still on board, the Leamington Fair is back and ready to entertain fairgoers with a lineup of events, music and entertainment.

According to Society President Dan Wiper, this year has been a challenge, but they are confident they can put on a great

show for the community.

“We’re working hard to get things together so area residents can have a great show,” he said. “We’re a small but mighty group.”

He says that the midway will feature some never-before-seen rides on the grounds.

“They are bringing some great rides,” he said. “People will see stuff they’ve not seen here before.”

Signs for the fair are popping up throughout the area and word is spreading fast on social media.

Along with the all-new midway, there is one other big change for this year’s fair.

Actually, it was supposed to change in 2020, but COVID delayed that until this year.

A new all-inclusive wristband admission will cover all events and rides for $25 per person each day.

Children under 32 inches tall will be admitted for free.

“There will be no more buying tickets to go on rides,” said Wiper. “You

pay the $25 and can ride all day, an unlimited amount of times.”

The $25 admission also includes the events lined up for each day of the weekend. You can walk in at the south gate or drive in at the north gate. There is a $5 (per car) parking fee if you drive in.

The fair will kick off Friday afternoon with the opening of the gates and midway at 4:30 pm.

Classic Championship Wrestling will invade the grandstand area at 7 pm as wrestlers compete in the ring set up on the racetrack.

At 9 pm, Destroyer — a KISS tribute band — will hit the entertainment stage and rock the fairgrounds for the evening.

The Bubble Zone and ventriloquist Yvette Locke will be there to entertain the children as well.

The horse paddock will be open throughout the weekend, as well as the culinary, homecrafts and school exhibits, and some animal and livestock displays.

On Saturday, June 11, the fairground gates will

open at 8 am, with the midway starting up and the sight and sounds of ‘Fair Weekend’ filling the air.

The annual Leamington Fair Pet Show will take place at 9 am.

At noon, the Bubble Zone will open again and the always popular children’s bicycle draw will take place in front of the grandstand.

After the bike draw completes, the wrestlers will return to provide mayhem and excitement for all in attendance at the grandstand.

Yvette Locke will hold a show at 3 pm on the entertainment stage as she brings her puppets to life.

At 5 pm, the grandstand will fill with people and the infield will be awash with roaring engines and rowdy drivers as the annual demolition derby gets rolling at its new start time.

Local teenage phenoms, Leave Those Kids Alone, will take the stage at 7 pm, rocking into the night before the stage is turned over to Bad Romance at 8:30 pm.

Leamington District Agricultural Society Secretary Jen Robinson, left, with President Dan Wiper. The two are hoping for great weather and large crowds for this year’s Leamington Fair.

Sunday’s festivities start at 8 am and include an open mic for local bands and musicians as well as continuing displays, the midway and the Bubble Zone.

The fair will close its gates at 5 pm on Sunday.

Wiper says there are even bigger plans for 2023 when the fair will celebrate 175 years.

Arts Centre announces ‘Bright Spots’ with grant award The Leamington Arts Centre (LAC) is spreading its wings throughout the community, and has announced a new initiative to bring the arts to the ‘bright spots’ of Leamington – a public art project.

The Arts Centre was established as the South Essex Arts Association in 1971 with a mandate to create, sustain and celebrate the arts.

Over the years, the Arts Centre has developed into a cultural pillar for

uptown Leamington and serves as a regional arts and culture destination for residents and visitors alike.

“As the LAC is a bright spot in Leamington, our vision is to bring artwork from within the LAC gallery walls to the sidewalks and parks of Leamington for all to view, experience and take notice of more Bright Spots in Leamington,” said Chad Riley, LAC director and curator.

Riley had just attend-

ed the Windsor Endowment for the Arts Awards where the LAC came away with the Arts Grant for Infrastructure in Community Arts.

The grant will help fund the Bright Spots community arts project, which will feature works of art from the LAC collection on display in six public locations this summer.

Selected artwork will be digitally reproduced and printed on outdoor UV and weather resis-

tant material and displayed outdoors at the Arts Centre, Leamington Library, The Bank Theatre, Shotton Park, the new Erie Street parkette (old Village Inn), and the

waterfront promenade or marina.

“This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Windsor Endowment for the Arts, the Municipality

Letter prompts council discussion on town’s public washrooms public washrooms, including soccer fields, baseball fields, Mersea Park, Rick Atkin Park and Seacliff Park.

“Typically, they finish with Seacliff Park,” he said. “The process is more than just turning off the lights.”

Neufeld explained that the seasonal employee must get all washrooms cleaned and closed and be back to the town shop by around 9:30 pm so that they can clean up and punch out by their 10 pm quitting time.

Wilkinson asked Neufeld if they could look into it further, saying that this will be an issue all summer long.

“No matter how late a WILKINSON hockey game goes — even until midnight — you can always count on the arena washrooms being open until everyone leaves,” he said. “We have a fantastic board of volunteers with Leamington Minor Baseball who’d be more than willing to help out.”

Neufeld said he would revisit the issue with Public Works Manager Ken Brown and see what more could be done.

EVENTS

A recent letter to the editor in the Southpoint Sun prompted Leamington Councillor Tim Wilkinson to ask about washroom availability at the town sports facilities at last week’s council meeting.

The letter stated that a late baseball game under the lights on diamond #7 finished up late and spectators, parents and players were dismayed by the locked washroom facilities at the baseball complex.

Not only did it inconvenience the Leamington players and fans, but also the out-of-town team and their fans who still faced an hour’s drive to get home.

Wilkinson brought that question to council and asked why they cannot be kept open until every last person has left the property.

“Can’t the last person turn out the lights and then lock the washrooms?” he asked.

Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld explained the washroom conundrum to council, citing the number of facilities that need to be closed down each and every night.

Washrooms are open from 8 am to 8 pm for all municipal facilities and one seasonal worker is responsible for thoroughly cleaning each one and locking them before moving on to the next.

Typically, according to Neufeld, they start doing this about 8 pm and work their way through all the town-owned

Wheatley Creamery and Dairy Bar — and its Waverly Butter brand

By Stephen Wuerch Arthur Poulter was born in Surrey, England, in 1889 and as a young man worked as a caretaker of a large estate called Waverly.

After his two brothers moved to Canada, Arthur soon followed — eventually settling outside of Wheatley on a farm located on the 5th Concession of Romney Township.

After working at a variety of jobs in town, Arthur decided to make a dramatic career change and follow his dream of establishing a dairy business.

The Wheatley Journal on May 7, 1931 stated, “After several weeks of preparation, Wheatley Creamery opened on Monday in the Crewe block on Talbot Street East in town (where the Car Barn Restaurant is today).

Wheatley now has one of the most modern and complete creameries in western Ontario and all farmers within 20 miles

are welcome to bring in their cream to the factory.

If it’s more convenient, Mr. Doug Brown will come out and pick the cream up in his truck.”

Over the next several years, the creamery prospered and established itself as one of the premier creameries in southwestern Ontario.

This success also caught the attention of many other town and city newspa-

pers across southwestern Ontario, including the Border Cities Star, which reported that the “Wheatley Creamery had such great tasting butter, that its sales had

recently doubled in the Windsor area and now has the enviable reputation for having the best quality butter around.”

In fact, at one point in the mid 1930s, the creamery had orders for its “Waverly Butter” from the majority of grocery stores and distributors in Windsor, Essex and Kent counties, including Canada Packers. The cream was brought in fresh daily to the creamery and — according to the Head Butter Maker Reg Willet — was churned in an 800-pound De Laval butter churn that was “electrically driven and followed a stringent scientific pasteurization process.”

It is important to note that Wheatley Cream-

ery won many Ontario awards for its butter with both Reg Willett and Arthur Poulter’s son Roy (who became Head Butter Maker following Reg’s departure a few years later) being the forces behind those awards.

The churning process took almost two hours, and it was only then that the butter was ready to be cut into one-pound bricks, with each brick being wrapped by hand and placed in 45-pound boxes for distribution.

In 1937, a major expansion took place as the creamery now opened a new Dairy Bar in the Blue Gray Restaurant owned

by Mr. and Mrs. A.L. McDonald, which only grew the butter and dairy business further.

The Dairy Bar was an instant hit with the locals, with many from Leamington also making the drive. Along with the usual dairy bar selections of white and chocolate milk, cream and buttermilk, the Dairy Bar had a variety of flavours of ice cream, milk shakes and sold ice cream sundaes

for 15 cents each!

Marie (Featherstone) Geddes, who served at the Dairy Bar stated, “The Dairy Bar was so busy in the evenings and on dance nights that it remained open every night until midnight.”

Throughout the 1940s, both the Dairy Bar and the Wheatley Creamery continued to flourish and in 1949, for the first time ever, the creamery exceeded butter production of an incredible 400,000 pounds annually. However, by 1959, the winds of change had started to blow as the Lambton-Kent Creameries had suddenly been put up for sale.

Seeing this as an opportunity for continued growth, Arthur Poulter made an offer and purchased the creamery. As a result, it was the end of an era as the Wheatley plant closed and moved all operations to that plant in Wallaceburg.

Arthur Poulter contributed much of his success to the wonderful and hard-working employees of the Wheatley Creamery and Dairy Bar as they

were truly the ambassadors for the creamery business.

A few of the other employees who worked at the Creamery/Dairy Bar were Evelyn Poulter, Jay McDonald, Al McDonald, Andy Roi, Bob Charlton, Al Derbyshire, Bud Nicholson, Harry Branbury and Jean (Tait) Shuttleworth.

A very special thanks to the Wheatley Area Heritage Society for all the assistance they provided.

The Wheatley Community should be very proud to have such an active, professional and hardworking group of individuals that are saving and archiving much of the area’s past history.

If there is any other historical information, photos or contacts regarding Wheatley Creamery and Dairy Bar that can be noted for permanent record, please email sewuerch@ hotmail.com.

Nominations are open for Fabulous Garden Awards 2022

By Catherine Riediger The Fabulous Garden Award – originally known as the Fabulous Garden Display – was an initiative of Communities in Bloom.

Unfortunately, Communities in Bloom was dissolved this year but the award will continue under the Landscape and Tree Committee, a sub-committee of the Leamington Horticultural Society.

Members of the committee observe gardens throughout the Municipality of Leamington and those meeting the criteria

– balance, curb appeal, variety, visual impact, planning and integration – are nominated and judged by the committee.

The winning residents are presented with a sign which is placed on their front lawn in recognition that their front yard garden has met the criteria.

Also, they receive a congratulatory letter and, after signing a photography release form, their picture is taken with the sign and their garden which is then published in the Southpoint Sun. Two winners are selected during each of the

months of June, July and August.

This award has been given out annually since 2016, only missing one year because of Covid-19.

The committee would very much like members of the community to participate in this contest by nominating their garden, a neighbour’s or a friend’s.

The first judging of gardens will be on June 13, so if you would like to nominate someone for this award, nominations will be accepted until June 10. Nominations can be e-mailed to lhsfabulous-

garden@gmail.com or by calling 519-326-4841.

If on June 13 you see a couple of cars full of people peering out the window at your home, do not be alarmed. It just means that you have a fabulous garden and the Leamington Horticultural Society is looking at it as a candidate for this award.

Good luck and get those nominations in!

Winners of the Fabulous Garden Award will be presented with a sign for their front yard, right.

Over 1 million voters have cast their ballots already in Ontario Preliminary figures indicate that 1,066,545 voters cast their ballot at advance polls during 10 days of advance voting in this year’s Ontario General Election. This represents 9.92 per cent of eligible voters in Ontario.

In comparison, in 2018 during five days of advance voting at advance polls, 698,609 voters, or 6.8 per cent of eligible

voters, chose to cast their ballot.

Voters are encouraged to check the location of their election day poll before they go to vote by entering their postal code in Voter Information Service on elections.on.ca, by downloading the Elections Ontario app or by consulting their voter information card.

Looking back ...

From the Leamington Post June 2, 1955 Mayor Grace McFarland turned tomato grower for a few minutes Monday afternoon to officially herald the First National Tomato Festival, which will be held in Leamington on September 9 and 10. The mayor took a turn on a mechanical tomato planter as television camera men and newspaper photographers recorded the scene.

—— A Detroit couple was credited with saving the life of an 18-year-old swimmer who dove off the government dock into the choppy waters of Lake Erie. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Fanos, visiting relatives in town, saw Bill Tudor of Chatham dive into the harbour. They were standing at the edge of the dock watching him when he shouted for help. Mr. Fanos grabbed a life preserver nearby and threw it to the youth. With some difficulty, the couple managed to haul Tudor back onto the dock.

—— Reverend Albert Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Williams of 286 Erie Street South, will be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of London on Saturday. Father Williams attended St. Michael’s Separate School in Leamington and graduated from Leamington District High School. He entered St. Peter’s Seminary in 1948.

TIGERS AND JAYS WELL REPRESENTED Seacliff Drive was alive Saturday with the crack of many bats as Leamington District Minor Baseball ramped up its early season games. The association is home to girls and boys offering 11 different local league programs starting as early as U5 T-ball. Options include T-ball, state-of-the art pitching machines, coach assisted pitching and live pitching, depending on age groups. There is also an extensive travel program. Enrollment has been encouraging with a whopping 100% increase in the youngest group as they now have 90 players, fielding nine teams. The season runs through the summer months. Here, members of the U7 Jr. Rookie Tigers — coached by Derek Cobby and Steve O’Neil— gather after their game before heading for a stop at the playground equipment and possibly a cold treat.

Talbot Trail seniors still swingin’ weekly

By Bob McLean On Tuesday, May 24 there were 60 enthusiastic Talbot Trail senior golfers participating in their league. Play commenced at 9 a.m. on a bright, sunny, somewhat cool day.

The closest to the pin winner on #9 was Nasher, whose marvelous shot ended up a mere three feet from the pin.

Terry Bee captured the

long putt victory as he drained a terrific 16-foot putt on #2!

There were nine golfers who shot 45 or less, but no one was able to break the 40 mark.

Jim Pearson fired a masterful 41 to nip the terrific 42s shot by Ken Kreuger and Russell Alliett.

Here are some other superb scores: 43s by Randy, Dutchy, Tim Stevenson

GIRLS FASTPITCH TEAMS START SEASON

The pitching machine was hooked up and the lines were chalked on Diamond #1 in Leamington as the girls fastpitch softball division for 8 to 11 year-olds got their season moving in the right direction. For many first-time players, the focus wasn’t on the score but on learning the fundamentals of the game. They have been practing for weeks in anticipation of playing some games. This game between Atlas Tube and Sun Life produced plenty of runs on both sides. As the season progresses, players will face live pitching. In the top left photo, Karina Boutros, second baseman for Atlas Tube, is ready for the play as both the ball and runner advance. Top right, Roslyn Ingratta of Atlas Tube heads to first after hitting the ball. In the bottom left photo, Mariam Carr of Sun Life makes the play at first with runner Avery Hill of Atlas Tube. In the bottom right photo, it’s a close call at first base for runner Kendall Jacobs of Atlas Tube and first baseman Olivia Williams of Sun Life.

STARS COME OUT FOR CHARITY CAR WASH

The Southpoint Stars U13 hockey team traded in their pucks and sticks for sponges filled with soap and hoses full of water for a fundraising car wash at the Leamington GM dealership Saturday morning, May 28. Coach Wayne Brady said they plan to hold more events to help with costs for the 2022-2023 season of travel hockey, which can be very expensive. “We are extremely appreciative of the GM dealership, who donated the space, time and supplies,” he said. The girls and team staff were on hand to wash cars by donation, which also included a hot dog barbecue. In the photo on the left, Marla Amaral and Aubree Curchin wave in motorists for the hockey team’s charity car wash. In the top right photo, hosing off one of the cars is Katelyn Brady, while volunteer Mike Williams oversees her progress. In the bottom right, Mia Gualtieri, Sofia Amaral and Kandreya Szusz scrub away on a car at the charity car wash Saturday afternoon. SUN photos by Deanna Bertrand
