If there was any doubt about Leamington’s love for tomatoes, that was cast aside on Friday, June 24 at Seacliff Park beach, when the Frenchsicle showed up.

A busy parade to the Frenchsicle stand kept three French’s Canada representatives hopping as area residents and beachgoers tried the allnew ketchup popsicles.

Ages ranged from a 10-month-old toddler to some senior citizens who would not give their ages, but most — if not all — were pleasantly surprised by the taste.

“It’s like a Caesar flavoured popsicle,” said most people after their

first lick.

Young Elliana Ribble — 10-months old — took a lick of her dad’s Frenchsicle and then reached out for more.

Karlie Vriesema and Victoria Desrosiers, both of Windsor, were spending time on the beach and happened upon the frozen ketchup treats by accident as they came to use the facilities.

Reluctantly, they gave in and each opened one up, but were both surprised by the flavour.

“I like it and that’s my final verdict,” said Karlie as the pair walked back to the beach.

The Frenchsicle is part of an overall promotion

from French’s Canada and they’ve been given away in only three places across the country — Vancouver, Toronto and Leamington.

They are made from 100 per cent Canadian tomatoes,” said Brianna Bedard, Senior Product Manager for French’s, “Leamington tomatoes.”

The trio of representatives, including Bedard, said that ‘business’ had been brisk since they arrived around 11:00 am. They spent about three hours there and went through about 800 Frenchsicles.

For every Frenchsicle they gave away, French’s will donate two meals to Food Banks Canada.

Let’s celebrate Canada this weekend With Canada Day approaching on Friday and the Detroit fireworks happening this past Monday night, we’ve officially ushered in summer in this area.

The vast amount of money spent on all of the fireworks displays is staggering if you think about it.

Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley all have large fireworks displays going off this weekend, so if you are a fan, you’ll have plenty to choose from.

Of course, weekend events are booming right now, with people just fed up and wanting to get outside to have some fun after two years of non-fun.

When I was a young lad, I don’t remember much that was special about Canada Day or Dominion Day, as it was known then. We were already out of school by that date and so it was just another summer day as far as I was concerned. Except we were able to buy some firecrackers at the local store, which was always fun.

Sometimes, we’d even have some of those black-and-yellow checkerboard ones lying around randomly, leftover from Victoria Day, which we just called “firecracker day”.

And if they didn’t have wicks? No

problem. Fold them in half and light them where they break, which gives you a few seconds of sparkle as the gun powder burns off.

As an adult, Canada Day took on a new meaning for me and mine. We have come to love and celebrate Canada Day in recent years. My kids always enjoyed the waterfront fireworks when they were young, and we’ve hosted a small gathering of friends and family for Canada Day for the last few years except for the dreaded COVID years, of course.

Especially satisfying for me has been the joy and fascination on the faces of our grandchildren as the fireworks explode in the sky.

Now, those with sensitive pets would beg to differ. Lots of dogs have horrible reactions to fireworks and end up under a bed or cowering in the corner for days afterward. Some even get loose and run as far away as they can go.

Most dog owners take steps with their animals to mitigate any issues if they know the fireworks are about to happen.

Sometimes though, fireworks are set off without any warning, and those could startle unsuspecting pups and owners.

So I understand when dog owners have issues with fireworks, which is why we all need to be a little more responsible.

Canada Day and Victoria Day are legally the only days you can discharge fireworks in Canada, plus the day before and the day after each of those holidays.

I don’t think it’s a law that’s ever been applied because I hear fireworks down by the marina almost every weekend in the summer. And if we’re honest, don’t we all run to the window and look up into the sky to see where they are coming from?

People are naturally drawn to the lights and noises. It’s part of our makeup. Fireworks have fascinated onlookers for centuries and have advanced in so many ways over the years.

It’s different than it was back in the day when the package of fireworks you could buy at Mac’s Milk or Becker’s offered a few sparklers, the always favourite burning schoolhouse and a couple of aptly named Roman candle-type fireworks, like Dragon’s Breath or Devil’s Inferno.

Today’s boxes now include several fireworks pieces which will allow you to

Paul Anka ... a Canadian legend Recently, some friends asked me if I was at the Colosseum in Windsor a couple of Fridays ago to see Paul Anka. I told them I wasn’t, but they said he put on a great show. I’m sure he did, as I watched him on Detroit’s PBS TV station not too long ago and he is still quite the showman, performing and serenading the crowd and looking much younger than the 81 years he’ll be on July 30.

Born in Ottawa in 1941 to Lebanese-Canadian parents, Andy and Camelia Anka, years later even Paul said he was “pretty precocious and an aggressive kid” who, as a young teenager, had lots of hutz-

pah. You could also add will and determination, too. As his father owned a restaurant that was very popular with Ottawa politicians and business people, Paul often helped out, working and joking around with the clientele and showed off his performing skills when he was barely a teenager yet.

Playing a piano and singing were two of Anka’s greatest talents and by the time he turned 15 years old, he bought a ticket and went to Los Angeles and stayed with his uncle for over four months trying to get noticed. As nothing really happened, Paul came back in December 1956

and asked his father if he could go to New York to see if he could make it big there. He said yes but, if nothing happened, he had to come back home.

Fortunately, with Anka’s talent, things went his way very quickly! He met with record producer and conductor Don Costa of ABC & Paramount Records who was simply amazed at Paul’s talent, not only as a singer and pianist but also his skill at writing songs.

Not long after, Anka’s father came to New York to sign the contract, as Paul was still a minor and could not sign those legal papers.

It was released on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on July 15, 1957 and, less than two months later, it reached #1 and stayed in the top 10 for several weeks. Overseas in Europe, in the UK alone, it was #1 for nine weeks in a row. All in all, it sold millions and was his biggest selling song ever.

Over the course of two years, Anka had another nine songs reaching the top 40 and, in the summer of 1959, “Lonely Boy” was #1 for four weeks in a row.

Other top 10 hits to follow included “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”, “It’s Time To Cry”, “Puppy Love” and “My Home Town”.

Paul also wrote a song for Buddy Holly, called “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” that was recorded just be-

and other musings

RIB’S RAMBLINGS Mark Ribble set the whole yard on fire if you wish to do so. They are made to make as much noise as possible.

We’ve outlawed the lady fingers and cherry bombs because some kid lost a finger in 1967, but meanwhile the manufacturers push the envelope with the fireworks that go up in the sky and have the potential to burn your house down.

Just last year, Columbus Bluejackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died at a house party when an errant Roman candle hit him in the chest in a hot tub in Novi, Michigan.

A few years back, Detroit weatherman Dave Rexroth lost an eye in a fireworks accident. So accidents do happen, no matter how careful you are.

This weekend, it’ll be time to celebrate Canada the right way here in our communities. It’s time to come together.

Let’s do it safely, respectfully and with a little joy in our heart for our fellow Canadians.

Happy Canada Day!

Kingsville Highland Games return in big fashion

Viki Kidd puts her Border Collie “Jones” through a demonstration of sheepherding.

Members of the London Fire Fighters Pipe Band march during the festivities at the park.

The Highland Games returned to Kingsville on Saturday, June 25 with about 2,000 people walking through the gates of Lakeside Park to watch the allday events.

Right out of the gate, participants in the 5K Kilt Run were on the course and getting their early exercise, followed by the heavy events, tug of war, dancers and other festivities.

The heavy events featured heavy stone, hammer throw, heavy weights and the always popular caber toss, with both local and visiting competitors performing feats of sheer strength.

The tug-of-war featured a half dozen teams competing in a round-robin format, with the final two teams squaring off for top honours. When the dust settled (literally), Vitella Plumbing of Windsor bested the Windsor Police in a hard-fought pull for the championship.

Many food and merchandise vendors filled the upper level of the park, while the events took place in the lower bowl.

Amherstburg Deputy Mayor Leo Meloche took the title in the Mayors Haggis Hurl, defeating defending (and outgoing) champion Nelson Santos.

Meloche took a unique approach to his hurl by carrying the haggis in his mouth before hurling it, which seemed to give him the edge.

Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald was among the competitors, along with Shad Grieve, honourary Mayor of Cottam.

Highland dancers competed under a tent, which served them well to stay out of the heat of the day, and large marching bands — complete with bagpipes — filled the park much of the day.

Pipe band participation was down according to organizers, mostly due to being unable to travel or practice much for the past two years.”

“Many of the pipe bands come from the U.S. and were not prepared to cross the border yet,” said event organizer Doug Plumb. “Overall, we had picture perfect weather and our volunteers were fantastic and much appreciated.”

The sheep herding demonstrations showed the audience the discipline and work ethic of the border collie.

Despite the heat, the large crowds enjoyed the events and the ceilidh (gathering and entertainment tent) was teeming with people well into the night.

Sherk-Ellison construction begins

The installation of a new traffic light at the corner of Sherk and Ellison Streets in Leamington is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 4.

The project, approved in March of this year by council, will include a new traffic signal, updated street lighting along Ellison, a three-metre wide sidewalk, a pedestrian crossing at the trail on Ellison, a dedicated left-turn lane on Sherk northbound and a new curb and sidewalk ramps to accommodate the new signal and sidewalk.

Construction is slated to begin Monday, July 4 and wrap up — weather permitting — by mid-September.

Temporary lane closures may slow traffic on both streets during construction.

Kingsville exploring options on Mayor’s seat After last week’s surprise announcement that Mayor Nelson Santos was stepping down from the chair to pursue a job opportunity in Adjala-Tosorontio Township, Kingsville Council now must weigh several options to fill the seat.

Santos’ resignation will officially be filed on July 17, according to an information report released by the municipality on Monday.

The Municipal Act would then require council to declare the office vacant at its next council meeting. The next meeting scheduled after July 17 is on August 8 (unless they call a special meeting).

One option is to leave the seat vacant until the new term begins in the fall with a newly elected mayor. In the meantime, the Deputy Mayor would chair all meetings.

They can also choose to

fill the vacancy. According to the report, if the vacancy occurs after March 31 of an election year, the seat must be filled by appointment only.

Kingsville’s Council Vacancy Policy will provide a second option, which is filling the seat with the Deputy Mayor or another interested member of council for the remainder of the term.

Interested members would be required to fill

out an application and submit it to the Town Clerk.

If that option is chosen, this action will create another vacancy on council, which again can be left vacant or filled with the person who got the next highest amount of votes in the last election, or by a call for nominees, which is the least likely and least-preferred option by local administration.

Kingsville District High School Athletic Awards

Tammy Wiper

It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Tammy Wiper, surrounded by her loving family, on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 63 years of age.

Loving wife of Dan with whom she shared 44 years of marriage. Reunited with her cherished daughter Lyndy. Beloved mother of Jay Wiper and wife Chantelle. Adored grandma of Tyler, Mykalie and Josie. Dear granddaughter of the late Jack Symons. She will also be missed by her Grandma Symons.

Tammy was the President of the Leamington and District Agricultural Society for 12 years — a job she took on due to the untimely and sudden passing of President Janette Mulholland in 2009. In her own way, Tammy molded the fairgrounds to what she felt Janette would have wanted to see it become.

In her mind, Janette’s vision of a ‘place for the kids to enjoy’ was at the top of the list. The annual Leamington Fair took on a ‘kids first’ approach and Tammy took great pride in making sure that her friend and mentor, Janette’s vision was first and foremost.

Over the years, Tammy was a constant sight at the fairgrounds, sometimes spending hours on end in the office, answering phones or dealing with the farmer’s market.

She often had a gruff exterior, but always had a heart of gold and would have done anything for a child or veteran in need.

Every year at fair time, she’d hand out dozens of free tickets to less-fortunate kids and their families, and was instrumental in getting the RCMP Musical Ride to Leamington in 2018.

In 2019, her health began to fail and her husband Dan took over the presidency of the Ag Society — a post he still holds today.

Tammy had her share of tragedy to deal with over her 63 years. Her brother Rob was killed in an accident as a teenager, and she and Dan lost their only daughter, Lyndy, in 2007. Dan and Tammy took on the task of raising Lyndy’s daughter, Mykalie.

The past few months have been difficult for Tammy as her health continued to decline and never recovered to allow her to get to her beloved Leamington Fair this year and she was devastated to miss it.

Thank you to the step-down nursing staff and doctors at ESHC for all of their compassion.

Cremation has taken place. Funeral Service was held Tuesday, June 28, 2022, with Rev. Linda Blair officiating.

Interment at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery.

Arrangements entrusted to Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre.

Memorial donations made to Erie Shores HealthCare or to the Leamington District Agricultural Society would be appreciated.

RADIO OPERATORS FIELD DAY

The Sun Parlour Amateur Radio Club held their annual 24 hour field day on the weekend, as several members came together to test out equipment and frequencies on the Mousseau farm near Woodslee. The local club has 35 members and they also welcomed members of the Border City Club to join them as they made contact with about 600 amateur radio operators across North America. The purpose of the annual field day is to make contact with as many operators as you can and points are awarded for the number of contacts you make. Amateur radio clubs across North America participate to hone their skills and record their contacts across several different bands in the event of an emergency. Every municipality has the amateur radio emergency services ARES Included into their emergency plans and this is the way that the amateur radio operators can test that ability if they ever are asked to do so. Here, Chatham’s Holly Robert, of Emergency Management Ontario, works along with George Crewe of Wheatley, who has been a licensed operator for 31 years. Each station recorded contacts as far away as south Texas and Arizona.

Rotary President makes Leamington stop

By Deanna Bertrand The president of Rotary International made a stop in Leamington on Sunday, June 26, helping to celebrate migrant workers in the area.

Jones, the first woman to lead Rotary International, is on a four-

week cross-country tour dubbed “Imagine Rotary Canada.”

She set off June 15 and will have stops in 11 hubs, from Vancouver Island to St. John’s, with a goal of highlighting the impact of local Rotary clubs.

than anything for me to be able to say thank you to all of you who are here helping with our economy, spending your time making sure that the food chain in this area is something that can benefit people across the world,” she said on stage to several hundred people in attendance at the Migrant Worker Festival.

The Leamington Rotary Club was on hand along with Rotary Club of Windsor-St. Clair to install bicycle lights and bells on guest workers’ bikes.

Jones, a Windsor-Essex County native, made her way to Leamington following a stop in Windsor to promote the Rotary Clubs of Windsor-Essex and the Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed-building project, which aims to ensure no child in the communi-

ty has to sleep on the floor.

A ceremony to honour her historic position as the first female president was held at Jackson Park in Windsor Monday morning and included the

Talbot Trail Senior golfers enjoy June scramble

By Bob McLean Sixty Talbot Trail senior men’s golf league members played in their first scramble on June 21. The very hot weather conditions were tamed by a very welcomed breeze.

The first-place team, shooting a masterful 32, was T1G1. Team members were Dave Dent, Larry Schmidt, Eugene Kerrigan and Jamie Arquette.

Four teams tied for second place at excellent 34s. A card draw determined how they finished.

Second place went to T3G2 participants Fuzzy, Conrad Babkirk, Eugene A. and Joe Vrtel.

Third place victors were OV, Dutchy, Dave Chambers and Kong of T8G2.

Fourth place winners were Joe Drummond, Mac Hyatt, Garry Morin and Doug Langlois of T3G1.

The most honest team was T5G2 who shot a fine 38 score.

Winning teams won golf balls.

Hitting into a stiff wind on #7, Doug still fired a terrific shot to within 20 feet. Dutchy hit a brilliant shot to within five feet of the # 9 pin to take closest to the pin.

Nasher drained the winning long putt of 12 feet on #2. Doug, Dutchy and Nasher each received a sleeve of balls for their personal effort. All teammates also received $10 gift cards.

The 50-25-25 raffle draw was very successful thanks to sellers BW and Dave Dibbley. Two players won $60 TT gift cards, and other draw winners won $25, $20, $15 or $10 cards.

The league extend special thanks to Sammy Williams, Taylor, new bride Hilary and her staff for all their work with the food and beverages. We thank the table crew (Bummy, Dave, Wiz, Bobo) for organizing the scramble. Thanks go to George for having our carts ready to roar! Derek, Robert and all the outside workers had the course in topnotch condition.

There are never any losers when we “Just Have Fun!” See you next week.

WHEATLEY WRAPS UP HOUSE LEAGUE SOCCER

Wheatley Area Minor Soccer (WAMS) closed out their 2022 house league season on Saturday with a full slate of games, awards and lunch for all of this year’s participants. Volunteer Christine Hopper noted that it has been great to get back to a full season, which has been a resounding success. WAMS’ enrollment this year topped out at 200 players, and Hopper said they are thankful for all the volunteers and the 28 sponsors who helped to make it possible for the kids. The association will also be fielding four travel teams that will compete through the balance of the summer. Here, team members of the U7 division await the awards ceremony after their wind-up games before heading off for free hot dogs, chips and a cold drink.

Girls fast pitch doing well

The first season of Fast Pitch for the younger girl divisions with Leamington Minor Baseball has been going off with a bang.

It’s been fun, action-packed baseball each week. Leamington Minor Ball ended up with four teams in the 11U Girls Division which uses a pitching machine until they move up to live pitching at the next level. The league games have been mostly played amongst the fourLeamington teams, but

over the past three weeks the Leamington teams played a home-and-home against Turtle Club (LaSalle) who also has four teams, and is a strong local Fast Pitch system.

The Leamington teams ended up sweeping the eight games vs Turtle Club and the coaches around the league are all really proud of their girls.There are a few more weeks of league play to go before Wind-Up Weekend August 5 - 7 here in Leamington over at Mersea Park.

1959 Curtiss-Wright Air-Car

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk An email arrived from Chris Carter along with the photo you see here: “Hi Bill. Can you give us the rest of the story? What a different car! Looking forward to seeing it in your weekly auto column.”

Included in Chris’ email is this quote from Vintage Automobiles & Rare Vehicles: “1959 Curtiss-Wright Model 2500 Air-Car. Curtiss Wright had been producing airplanes for many years when they started their ground effects program.

They had developed the Air Car as a four-passenger commercial vehicle and hoped that it would be accepted by the public as a sort of air-cushioned equivalent of the family car. Lift was provided by two vertically mounted 180bhp aircraft engines

and the air ducts on the sides and rear made it possible to maneuver around.”

Other information is available on the internet: “The big, blocky body had twin headlights, turn signals, fenders, and bumpers. The tidy four-abreast cabin in the middle was fitted with a convertible top, an automotive-style dashboard, and a steering wheel. Top speed 38 mph.”

Another quote: “This 21-foot-long, eight-foot wide, five-foot-tall contraption was everything that Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder would promise 17 years later, stylish driving without the burden of wheels.”

Further research indicates two have survived.

One is in a museum and the other in decrepit con-

The Municipality of Leamington and the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers(OGVG), have collaborated to create an updated Light Abatement By Law which has proved to be a strong example of relationship building, teamwork, and compromise, resulting in positive outcomes for all parties. We are pleased to announce to the resident’s of our community here in Leamington and others nearby that we will be able to grow fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables year round, all while minimizing the lighting which shines through the greenhouses.

Light is a key component necessary for plants to grow and ultimately produce the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries and other fresh produce items that we love to eat! Photosynthesis requires light to create

sugars necessary for the development of strong, healthy plants. During the summer months when the photo-period of the sun is longer and temperatures warmer, less lighting is required for plants inside the greenhouses.

During the cooler, darker months from October through March, supplemental lighting is necessary to enable the environment necessary for optimized vegetable production. When we think of Canadian food production systems, and fruits and vegetables that are grown in Ontario; food security and a strong and domestic food supply system is more important than ever.

By working together with Mayor MacDonald and council , Leamington’s Administration, and The Ontario Ministry of Agri-Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), this new Light Abatement By Law will ensure

The Essential Village Salad Serves 4 to 6

• 1 lb (455 g) mixed ripe Ontario greenhouse tomatoes (heirlooms can add a punch of colour!)

• 4 Ontario greenhouse mini cucumbers (or 2/3 Ontario greenhouse English cucumber) • 1 Ontario greenhouse pepper (be as colourful as you want!)

Wednesday, June 29, 2022

continued production of the nutritious foods we love to eat, all year round, without disrupting the lives of our fellow residents.

We are excited for continued collaboration with the Municipality and to grow more local fruits and vegetables for you.

The Greek Salad

• 1/3 cup (80 mL) thinly sliced red onion • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped flat-leaf parsley • 3 tbsp (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

Cut tomatoes into wedges. Cut cherry and grape tomatoes in half. Slice cucumbers on bias. (If using English cucumber, halve lengthwise first.) Cut pepper into bite-size pieces. Place vegetables in large mixing bowl with onion and parsley.
