Nonetheless, she is happy for Jones and says this will be a win-win for everyone. “We’re happy for him and for this community,” she said. “Trevor is a smart guy and he will do us proud.” MacDonald says it will greatly benefit the community here, having a Leamington-based representative. “He understands our needs,” she added.

Jones’ final tally was 17,389 votes for 47.6 per cent of the vote in Chatham-Kent Leamington. McGregor — a Chatham-Kent municipal Councillor — finished second with 11, 024 votes for 30.2 per cent. Nicholls was a distant third with 5,416 votes for 14.8 per cent. The New Blue Party’s Rhonda Jubenville garnered 1,443 votes, while Green Party candidate Jennifer Surerus finished with 1,231 votes. Liberal candidate Audrey Festeryga withdrew from the race the week prior to the election.

That left Leardi up against new NDP candidate Ron LeClair, whom he bested by over 10,000 votes. The Essex riding had been an NDP stronghold for several years. “I represented my clients as a courtroom litigator for the last 24 years,” said Leardi. “Now I’m going to represent all the taxpayers of the riding of Essex. Leardi has previously been a councillor and Deputy Mayor in Amherstburg. The switch from NDP to PC for the riding helped usher in a majority government for Doug Ford as he breezed to an easy victory to maintain his position as Premier of Ontario. “Doug Ford is the right leader to lead Ontario’s economic recovery,” he

Liberal candidate Manpreet Brar was a distant third with 4,126 votes, narrowly edging out Ontario Party’s Frank Causarano who garnered 3,305. New Blue candidate Danielle Sylvester got 1,283 votes, while Green Party’s Nicholas Wendler managed 979, and None of the Above Party’s Kevin Linfield 269 votes. “This has been a historic election in Essex County. It has been about 60 years since the riding of Essex elected a PC representative,” said Leardi. “Thank you to the voters of Essex for choosing me as your elected representative.”

Wheatley businesses start re-opening process By Greg Coulter and Mark Ribble As the Wheatley evacuation zone was moved in once again last week, several Wheatley businesses finally got some more permanent access to their buildings and began the process of trying to get their doors opened again. Fences being moved were a welcome sight to all involved and to top it off, the intersection at Erie and Talbot Streets opened early last week (except for a small stretch of Erie North). Traffic can flow directly through Wheatley from east to west (or vice versa) for the first time in about 10 months. With that, came the possibility that businesses who previously could not access their buildings would be able to. Lil Hil’s Coffee Shop has been operating out of the Talbot Trail Golf Club since last fall and plans to stay put for the time being, until the massive cleanup needed at her restaurant location is complete. Hilary says she has committed to staying at the golf course for the season.

Others have pivoted as well, with Barry Broadbent’s Car Barn catering trailer finding a new home at Two Creeks Conservation Area. The Car Barn has been operating out of Two Creeks for a few weeks now and experiencing a robust amount of business. According to Wheatley BIA’s Mike Renwick, the community awareness by organizations like Two Creeks, Talbot Trail and others has had a positive impact on those who are scrambling to get back into their homes and businesses. “Two Creeks not only allowed Car Barn to set up out there, they’ve also allowed the Remembrance Day services there, the Christmas light decorations and the community fish fry,” he said. “They’ve gone above and beyond in this community.” Of course, Renwick also credits the Wheatley Disaster Relief group and Wheatley Task Force for all they’ve done to help as well. Renwick’s own business — Renny’s Village Smokehouse — will be

awhile before it can open back up. “It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion,” he said. “It’s not going to be a quick process.” Renwick says that he had a second smoker built in the past few months so he’s going to be serving some of his famous brisket at Cured Craft Brewery in Leamington on Father’s Day. At Briar Patch Studio, owner Tracey DeClerck tells the Sun that she’s in the beginning stages of assessing the damage, as she just got into her building last Monday. She is awaiting word from the inspectors. Down at J’s Fabric & General Store, Justina Giesbrecht hopes to be ready in a “couple of weeks”, as she and her daughter were able to get in and assess what needs to be done. Dollar Haven is back up and running after opening earlier last week. They’ve got lots of stock and sustained no structural damage from the explosion. Business has been good so far. The OG Pizza group has been hard at it mak-

ing pizzas for Wheatley for a couple of weeks now in their original location on Talbot Street West. They have had about half of their staff return from pre-explosion times and have experienced a brisk pace of business since re-opening on Victoria Day weekend. They spent about a month doing a complete sanitation and removing everything

that was not nailed down in order to get their business ready. Mike Untch at Adamson’s Guardian Drugs is still not sure if his building will be fixable, so he plans on staying at the site at the Friendship Club until things become clearer regarding the drug store building on the northwest corner of Erie and Talbot.

“There’s still limited access to the building due to extensive structural damage, only access is by city building department,” he said. “We’re waiting on an insurance report but they have been excellent to work with. We’re exploring options if it’s necessary to rebuild.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

WHEATLEY BUSINESSES — From Page 2

John and Katherine Urban have been biding their time, waiting for the okay to get back into their wine-making store, Cellar Door Wines. They say they are still playing the waiting game with their building. “Being tenants, we have to wait for the landlord to get in and assess if there is any damage,” said Katherine. “We’re still kind of in limbo.” “We will need to discard a lot of our equipment, so we will see how things go in the coming weeks,” added John. Over at the Circle K, staff was inside sorting out damaged and spoiled items and indicated it would take some time to get ready. A call into head office had not been returned at press time. At RBC, who also pivoted and relocated a mobile unit to the arena, they are poised to return as soon as possible. “Like the community, RBC is eager to get back to regular life in Wheatley. Our team remains in close contact with Wheatley officials and we’re pleased to share we now have greater access to the branch to begin preparing to re-open our doors. We expect to be ready to

open the branch within a number of weeks,” said RBC’s Director of Communications for this region, Cheryl Brean. One of Wheatley’s most popular businesses — Lucky Wok — is also in

limbo, as are several others who are still awaiting word from building departments, insurance companies and landlords. The Canada Post office has also relocated to a location on Erie Street South

New Chrysler Greenway entrance dedicated in Ruthven Under cloudy skies, the new access point to the Chrysler Canada Greenway had its unveiling on Thursday, June 2. On hand at the WFCU Credit Union Community Entrance on Union Avenue (County Rd. 34) in Ruthven were dignitaries from the Town of Kingsville, WFCU Credit Union and the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA). The new entrance connects the Chrysler Greenway to the east (Leamington-bound) to the

Chrysler Greenway to the west (Kingsville-bound) and provides area residents with alternative routes for traveling between the two municipalities. The new entrance features a rest area, a bike repair station, parking and signage to promote trail access in Kingsville. “Giving back to the communities we serve is part of our mission as a credit union,” said Eddie Francis, President and CEO of WFCU Credit Union. “This entrance

represents our continuous investment in Essex County and the importance of providing further opportunity and experiences for our members, their families and the communities that welcome us.” The Chrysler Canada Greenway had its beginnings in 2000 and stretches nearly 50 kilometres from Leamington to Harrow and then north into Tecumseh. It intersects with the Cypher Systems Group Greenway which connects Amherstburg to

You are the weakest link... goodbye As a television buff, I’m always bummed when the seasons end for all of my favourite TV shows. Back in the day, the shows took the summer off and we watched syndicated shows or reruns most of the summer. Now they try to fill those gaps with game shows and other short-run series. We’ve been watching the new Name That Tune and enjoying it, although I must say it’s ultra corny. That seems to be the M.O. of all the new game shows, from Beat Shazam to Press Your Luck to that awful attempt at Celebrity Dating Game a couple of years ago. We love The Chase, and being a trivia guy, shows like that are fun to watch. Even The Weakest Link with Jane Lynch hosting is palatable. While the potential to earn tons of money is there for these shows, the pro-

ductions just don’t seem to hold a candle to the game shows of old. I think the first one I clearly remember watching was the old Truth or Consequences in black and white, when Bob Barker hosted prior to his gig on The Price is Right. I can’t tell you that I remember the premise, but I’m sure if I watched an episode on YouTube, it would all come flooding back to me. Of course, those black and white game show days wouldn’t be the same without mentioning Beat the Clock, of which I once possessed the home version. I remember opening that box when I got it one Christmas and being amazed at the number of plastic gadgets they could fit in one box. Another great one during my blackand-white TV watching days was Concentration.

It’s a small world afterall

Once a month, Catherine and I visit Dr. Nick Ouellette at Renaissance Chiropractic on Talbot Street West in Leamington. On a recent visit, I asked him for his date of

birth so I could figure out in my head the day of the week when he was born. “Bill, I was born June 8, 1994.” “Nick, that was a Wednesday and you were

born exactly 35 years after I bought my first car on Monday, June 8, 1959. It was parked behind the high school half a block from your office.” “And what kind of car

The usual panel-type game shows like I’ve Got a Secret, What’s My Line and To Tell The Truth all had great runs over the years and To Tell The Truth has returned recently, but is another corny version of the former show. Hollywood Squares, Password and Let’s Make A Deal were also great shows in their own right, and who can argue with the success of Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and the aforementioned Price Is Right? Name That Tune — when I was a kid — was hosted by Tom Kennedy and introduced the world to Kathie Lee Johnson, who sang some of the songs for contestants to guess. She later became Kathie Lee Gifford. That version of the show lasted from 1974-81. Match Game was another of my favourites in the ‘70s, followed by Tattle Tales and of course, The Newlywed

I had to push it home with Mom’s 1957 Buick and that took us right past this office!” “Wow!” exclaimed Nick. I noticed on Nick’s wall his degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiro-

While much is, and should be, said about Doug Ford’s massive Conservative victory in Thursday’s provincial election, perhaps something should also be said about his party’s significant loss. Throughout the entire evening of frenetic televised election reporting, no reporter mentioned the election of an Independent in Haldimand-Norfolk. The entire evening, one seat was reported having been been won by an Independent candidate. This was a seat that had been held by the PCs for 27 years and they lost it to an Independent. So, here’s the story. Sitting Conservative MPP Toby Barrett, after 27 years in the back benches at Queen’s Park, decided to retire his seat in Haldimand-Norfolk. Barrett wanted his Constituency office manager, Bobbi Ann Brady, to replace him on the ballot

as a Conservative candidate. He had anticipated holding a nomination meeting in which Ms. Brady would have been selected as PC candidate. Meanwhile, Doug Ford contacted the Mayor of Haldiman, Ken Hewitt, and asked him to run for the PCs. Hewitt accepted and then announced his PC candidacy even before Toby Barrett had formally announced his retirement. Bobbi Ann Brady then apparently decided to run as an Independent against Ford’s candidate Hewitt. She took the seat as an Independent despite Ford’s backing of Hewitt, with over a 1,500 plurality of votes. So, Ford’s Conservatives did lose a seat. And now you know. Lloyd Brown-John Leamington

Eco teams present to Kingsville Council on organic waste diversion The EcoTeams from Leamington District Secondary School (LDSS) and Kingsville District High School (KDHS) partnered up for a presentation to Kingsville Council in the council chambers on May 24. The teams made a Powerpoint presentation about the organic waste diversion plan and Kingsville Council’s decision not to join most of the other municipalities across the county. Madeleine Huson and Sydnee Rutgers represented the EcoTeam from LDSS, while Adam Anderson and Kennedy Hardy joined from KDHS. Kingsville had recently made the decision to not join the county’s organic waste diversion program and the students made the presentation to make their stance clear on where they believe the municipality should stand on the issue. Kennedy Hardy, who is the Minister of the Environment for the past three years at KDHS, led the group as they took turns talking about the effect that waste diversion can have on climate change. “After you listen to our presentation tonight, we hope you will reconsider your decision not to join our region’s organic waste diversion program,” she said. Sydnee Rutgers then spoke about the effect that climate change is having on local beaches and waterfront areas. “We’ve all felt the impacts of climate change. More regular flooding has meant that Kingsville residents who live on Heritage Road have been cut off from the rest of the community,” Sydnee said. “A warming climate has

also led to more frequent toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie, which has closed local beaches.” “We were so excited to hear that Kingsville had joined the rest of the municipalities in Essex County in declaring a climate emergency in November of 2019,” added Madeleine Huson. “We were also very encouraged when many of you participated in the Climate Action Summit our EcoTeam hosted, where we committed to working with our municipal leaders on collaborative climate action.” According to Adam Anderson, it’s important for those who are composting to handle it properly. “Evidence shows that about one-third of waste sent to the landfill is organic, where it releases methane, which is 86 times more potent a greenhouse gas compared to carbon dioxide over 20 years,” Adam said. “Composting may work for some Kingsville residents, but if it isn’t mixed regularly, it will release methane and can attract unwanted pests like rats and skunks.” According to the EcoTeams, Ontario actually has a mandate in place to require all municipalities to divert some of their organic waste by 2025 to save landfill space and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Communities with a population over 20,000 and density over 100 people per square km are required to have an organic waste collection program by then as well. “In 2021 our community had a population of 22,119 and density of 90 people/ km2, which is very close to the threshold, so we were

surprised that Kingsville declined to join the plan,” said Kennedy. Adam added that in Kingsville’s decision not to participate in the plan, they have promised to educate residents on food waste strategies, but he only sees that as a first step. Madeleine then cited local examples of how organized waste is being turned into energy like that which is being done at Seacliff Energy in Leamington, and thinks that Kingsville should get ahead of the curve. “Economies of scale would suggest that Kingsville should join the organic waste plan now rather than wait until it’s mandated in 2025, so we can share costs with all the other municipalities in Windsor-Essex,” she says. The EcoTeams says that Windsor-Essex is far behind other regions when it comes to having a plan for organic waste collection and that the local waste authority was embarrassed to find out other regions are so far ahead in that regard. “Our request to you tonight, respectfully, is to ask you to table a motion to reconsider joining our region’s organic waste collection program,” said Madeleine. “We would also like to offer to assist you with the delivery of the food waste reduction education program.” Councillor Larry Patterson spoke to the teams about the program. “This council is all behind that, but there is a cost — a cost that’s humongous,” he said. “Going forward, I’d like to see this keep moving forward. Please don’t get discouraged.”

“We’ve also asked the county to look at the dynamic of having optional tenders,” added Mayor Nelson Santos. “If the upper tier is looking to support its regional landfill, then they should take the entire responsibility for that regional contract.” Mayor Santos pointed out that the issue was to be discussed later on the agenda. “Please stay tuned with us,” he added. Councillor Kimberly DeYong wanted to clarify to the students just where council stood on the issue. “I think it’s important for you to understand that we didn’t vote against the regional program at all,” she said. “We voted against the structure of which they were proposing it.” DeYong says there is no disagreement that it is an important initiative, but

Kingsville’s administration recommended that the structure of the plan didn’t best suit the town’s taxpayers. “We’ve actually asked our reps to push for them to keep it at the county level with respect to how they collect the dollars,” added Councillor DeYong. “This council actually does support the initiative.” DeYong proposed that the EcoTeams sit down with the town’s manager of environmental services to come up with something local specific to Kingsville. Councillor Thomas Neufeld talked about how proud he is of the students for coming forward and told those in attendance that Communities in Bloom Kingsville is working on programs to help with the organic waste situation and climate change.

“If this is the future, the future is bright,” he said. ”I want to thank you for doing your part.” Councillor Laura Lucier urged the students to keep pressuring their elected officials to let them know that the environment is their number one concern. “This council has not recognized environment concerns as one of their priorities,” she said. “I’m very hopeful that after the next election, the people sitting at this table will make that a priority.” Councillor Lucier agreed with Councillor DeYong about the fact that council wants to be part of the solution, as long as it’s a good decision. Councillor Tony Gaffan also agreed, saying, “I am that guy that composts.” He said he’s looking forward to a ‘made in Kingsville’ solution.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.

Kingsville High School honours students on Principal’s list By Deanna Bertrand More than 100 students from Kingsville District High School were awarded for their excellence in academics for achieving

overall marks of 90 percent or higher, at a luncheon at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens on Tuesday, May 31. Greater Essex Coun-

ty District School Board (GECDSB) Trustee Julia Burgess was on hand for the luncheon and briefly spoke, thanking students, staff, parents and all of

those “good role models” in the students’ lives who helped shape them for their current success and achievement. “This is going to serve

you well,” she told them after noting the skills they also learned of having to adapt during a pandemic. Principal Bill Toews told students to be proud of

their efforts and achievements and outlined the many different skill sets needed to be successful in life before presenting each student with a certificate.

Pet of the Week

Kingsville is now a Bee City

The Town of Kingsville is now official designated as a Bee City. Bee City Canada announced that designation earlier this week after Kingsville had made an application to them. Bee City Canada is a program of Pollinator Partnership Canada and to date, 63 municipalities across Canada have been

designated as Bee Cities. “Bee City is a movement, basically, that helps municipalities make homes for bees,” said director Vicki Wojcik. “We all live in cities or towns and those are our homes and we take care of our homes a certain way because we like to have nice homes that make us happy. And so essentially, Bee

City is exactly the same thing.” According to Wojcik, Bee Cities have three obligations to meet: initiating habitat actions, providing education and celebrating Pollinator Week June 20-26. Kingsville recently installed a pollinator garden at Lakeside Park.

WAPS Archery Club attracts 25 students News out of the Southwest Outdoors Club has Tilbury District High (TDHS) School’s team winning the provincial archery title recently. Brad Newham from Tilbury High School also ran a successful archery club at Wheatley Area Public School this spring and took his team of 15 from TDHS to the provincials where they finished first overall and had four archers bring home individual medals. In the boys division, Daniel Knelson finished fifth, while Noah Friesen finished second. In the girls division, Julia Michaelas finished second and Jordan Sheehan finished first. Jordan was the highest scoring female in the entire province. The WAPS Archery Club attracted 25 students and Newham is hoping to run it again next year, due to the overwhelming response.

Always good to know when to call 911 911 is for police, fire or medical emergencies when immediate action is required: someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy, or a crime is in progress. Police are asking the public to use 911 responsibly. Call takers can’t provide information on the weather, power outages or municipal services. Don’t call 911 and ask for the non-emergency

phone number. You can dial directory assistance (411) to request a number. The 911 call takers and dispatchers are highly trained, dedicated professionals who will get you the help you need. Police offer the following examples of when to call 911: • Events that involve an immediate threat to a person or property: screams, attacks, gunshots, fires,

car accidents with injuries or any other medical emergency. • An in-progress crime. This includes fights, break and enters (if there is a suspect on the scene), or an impaired driver report. • A serious crime that has just occurred (i.e. sexual assault or robbery). • A suspicious circumstance that may indicate an imminent criminal act (i.e. prowler, vandal).

Citizens are reminded to stay on the line if you accidentally dial 911. Should you hang up, the call taker will assume it is an emergency and dispatch police. 911 hang-up calls consume considerable resources; therefore, police ask all cell phone users to “lock it before your pocket.”

While raising her children, Elsie worked as a secretary with the Public School Board at Selkirk School and then at Margaret D. Bennie school in Leamington. Elsie took great pride in her work, not only supporting the teaching staff, but also using her ability to speak German to help translate and communicate with the parents and students of German-speaking newcomers to Leamington at the time, making their transition to Leamington less stressful and welcoming. She enjoyed walking at the Marina, volunteering at Thrift on Mill, and singing in the Heritage Choir. Elsie could be seen often around town, both alone or with friends, enjoying her community. A graveside service was held at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery on Thursday, June 2, 2022 at 3 p.m. Elsie and her husband Alf (1988), and then her husband Ernie Rempel (2012) were great supporters of community initiatives and many local charitable organizations.

Union Water System upgrades The Union Water Supply System (UWSS) is currently undertaking necessary upgrades to the treatment system at the Ruthven Water Treatment Plant. Part of the water treatment system had to be shut down in September 2021 for the upgrade to proceed. This work was scheduled for completion by the end of May 2022. However, due to current worldwide supply chain issues, this work has been prolonged by at least 8-10 weeks. As such, the Ruthven Water Treatment Plant

will be operating at reduced capacity until the completion of this work in mid-to-late August 2022. Each year, the warmer spring and summer weather is associated with a higher demand on the water system as families fill their pools, gardeners water their vegetables, shrubs, lawns, and people wash their cars more frequently. During hot summer months, water consumption within the UWSS service area increases significantly. One way to manage higher water demands in the summer is with the use of outdoor

More information on these restrictions is available at www. unionwater.ca/lawn-watering-restrictions/ With the expected summer high water demand, the UWSS requests that residents and businesses minimize their daytime water usage, particularly between the peak hours of noon and 6 p.m., and also to avoid any unnecessary water uses.

Looking back ...

From the Leamington Post June 8, 1993 The Leamington Post is now a member of another group of community newspapers. On Thursday, the newspaper was purchased by Bowes Publishers Limited of London — part of a purchase of five daily and 30 weekly papers from the Thomson Corporation. New publisher Don Gage comes over from the Leamington Shopper, which had already been owned by Bowes. Tony Duncan, who had been the long-time publisher at the Post, will remain with Thomson as a consultant. Michael Thibodeau will remain on as editor. The Post employs 23 people at its location on Princess Street. —— A series of four summer concerts, all in a family focus, may be held this year at the Leamington Marina. The free concerts have tentatively been set for June 27, July 25 and August 15 with another to follow in September. They are being sponsored by CHYR Radio and the Windsor Star. —— The LDSS chess team has failed to complete their ‘three-peat’ after taking the silver medal at this year’s provincial tournament in Hamilton last week. The Lions came up a little short against Hamilton’s Sir John A. MacDonald for the first-place honours. Despite the second-place finish, LDSS students captured three of the five individual titles in the tournament. Grade 9 rookie Gord Garwood captured the gold in the Grade 9 division, while Manish Ahuja topped the Grade 10 division. Bradden Wilkinson earned top points in the Grade 12 division and was second overall in the tournament. The silver medalist team consisted of Chris Takaco, Eric Derbyshire, Bradden Wilkinson and Sak Somkhong. —— The Fox Ready Mix Mosquitos edged Tecumseh 10-8 in recent Essex County Baseball League play. Leamington only garnered four hits, led by Jeff Wiper with a double and a single, while Jason Baclig and Derek Cobby had single hits each. Wiper pitched the first four innings, followed by Cobby, who finished up. —— About 130 walkers took to Erie Street on Sunday to raise money for leukemia research during a five km walk put on by the United Food and Commercial Workers union. About $11,500 was raised. —— The Leamington Gymnastics recreational team recently topped 90 other teams in a competition in Windsor. Team members were Lou Ann McGorman, Sarah George, Leah Penner, Pam Stewart, Heather Malott, Amy Allen, Lauren Penner and Pam Lapos. From the Kingsville Reporter June 8, 1993 In a special ceremony on Thursday evening, Maurice Charbonneau was ordained to the transitional deaconate. He will now work and study for one more year before becoming a priest. The 28-year-old graduate of Ridgetown College was ordained by Bishop John Michael Sherlock, with Father Chris Quinlan and Father Tony Daniels assisting. ——

The Kingsville District High School top athletes were honoured at a ceremony this week, with Jodi Bernath taking senior female athlete of the year and Sarah Dunnion taking the junior female honours. The boys top athletes were senior Ivan Tan and juniors Emidio Cappussi and Jeff Miller. —— A request for a government grant for the construction of Migration Hall was denied, but the community centre will still be built, according to the committee. Chairman Dan Loop said it was a disappointment but at least they can now move ahead. Mr. Loop said there would have to be some changes to the proposed structure before it is tendered, but the committee is still planning a first-rate facility with hopes to get shovels in the ground this summer. Wheatley Journal June 9, 1993 The gates open for the annual Leamington Fair on Friday, June 18 at 5 pm. Gate admission is $3 and parking is free. President Rick Wiper says the theme of the 1993 fair is Generations United. —— Branch 324 Wheatley officially began its 50th anniversary celebrations with an impressive Drumhead service on Sunday. The parade paused at the cenotaph where District Commander Doug Green, escorted by branch president Fred Chambers, placed a wreath. The parade continued to Ivan Coulter Park for the solemn dignified ritual. —— The price of walleye took a big jump on the weekend, luring almost 400 entries into the second annual western basin tournament organized by the Wheatley Yacht Club. The Leamington Marina handily accommodated the large tournament numbers over two days. Leamington Reeve Jim Ross was on hand to present the top walleye prize of $1,000 to Mike Samson, whose walleye measured 28.8 inches. —— Wheatley Area Public School held their Track and Field meet last week with Layne Vickery taking the top honours for six-year-old boys. The six-year-old girls champion was Mary Schmitt. The sevenyear-old boys champ was Chris Simpson, while the girls champ in that age group was Maggie Couto. In the eight-year-old boys group, the champion was Craig Campbell, while Katie Omstead was crowned champion of the eight-year-old girls. In the nine-year-old boys group, the champion was Matt Weil, while the nineyear-old girls champ was Courtney Baldwin. In the 10-year-old division, Jim Elsley was crowned champion for the boys, while the girls were topped by Christina Beleutz. The 11-year-old champions were Casey Kimball and Shealyn Omstead. In the 12-year-old group, Jeff Bailey, Tim Weil and Thomas Grubb shared the boys title, while Jenny Harvey won for the girls. In the 13-year-olds, Derrick Holland won the boys title, while Jenny-Anne Omstead won the girls title. Finally, in the 14-year-old boys competition, Steve Bridgman was crowned champ, while Jennifer Tiborcz won the girls title.

FUTURE DOCTORS IN LEAMINGTON Ten first-year medical students at the Schulich School of Medicine are spending time at Erie Shores HealthCare to observe and learn in a hospital setting and the group took the time to tour uptown Leamington on Wednesday, June 1. The group is part of a program which sends medical students to rural hospitals across the province during Discovery Week, a mandatory placement at the end of the first school year. Uptown BIA coordinator Jill Nicholson guided the students through the tour, which included stops at the Leamington Arts Centre and other uptown points of interest. Here, the students meet at the library just before going on the tour. From left are Sughra Ali (London), Sandy Wong (London), Sabrina Manolescu (Toronto), Leela Raj (Toronto), Melanie Semaan (Windsor), Stefani Mihilli (Vaughn), Yehia Moarren (London), Eric Lin (Brandon, MB) and Jasmine Mansouri (Hamilton). Absent was Amandi Perera, who is from Waterloo. They all agreed that Leamington is a friendly community and the staff at the hospital are exceptional. SUN photo

Lakers take two divisions at Laker Classic tournament 20 teams take part in three-division tourney

By Mark Ribble Two of the three Leamington teams hosting the 4th annual Lakers Classic tournament on the weekend took top honours for their divisions. The Leamington Lakers 14U and 12U teams both won their respective championships, while the 9U team finished with a 1-1 record but did not advance past the round-robin portion.

In the 14U division, the Leamington Lakers defeated the London Talons 8-2 to take the title, while in the 12U division, the Lakers engaged in an ‘all local’ battle for the title with the Kingsville Knights and came out on top 12-2. Both Lakers teams went undefeated on their way to the championship. Kingsville had beaten Tecumseh 10-2 in the semi-final of the 12U division, while London had edged Milton 7-6 in the 14U division.

Leamington Lakers 12U team celebrates their championship. Back row, from left, are assistant coach Tony Youssef, assistant coach Bob Grundner, Adam Lowen, Owen Rousseau, Ben Liebrock, Pancho Heinrichs, Isaiah Georges, Aiden Lowen, head coach Ryan Georges. Front row are Isaak Jr. Giesbrecht, Johnny Giesbrecht, A.J. Youssef, Jonathan Grundner, Ryan Sawatzky and Jackson Wall. SUN photos Lakers 12U #9 Pancho Heinrichs goes airborne and slides safely into second base as Kingsville’s Mac Pucovsky (23) receives the throw from left fielder Vittorio Ruggirello.
