Council turns down policing bid from Windsor

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The Windsor Police Service bid for policing in Leamington was unanimously rejected by Leamington Council at a special meeting last Tuesday, May 18. Although it brings the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to an end, “This is just a first step,” according to Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald. The issue goes back to the 2018 municipal election, when residents expressed disappointment with the level of service from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). “A couple of years ago, we heard from residents that they weren’t happy with the level of service,” said Councillor John Hammond. In late 2019, council commissioned a report on the RFP process from Michael Mitchell of MPM Consulting and at that time, they heard about different options available, should they decide to terminate the contract with the OPP. Mitchell’s report, at the time, concluded that the OPP were providing service in compliance with all mandatory adequacy standards, but lacked flexibitilty in customizing its service delivery model to the specific needs of the municpality. Council had reached out to OPP leadership with hopes of opening a discussion on that flexibility and were told that the policing model was adequate. In June of last year, council voted to terminate the contract of the OPP and give the required one-year notice to do so. That contract expires on June 9, 2021. “We have no issues with the boots on the ground,” said Councillor Paul Tiessen. “There needs to be change from the top.” The RFP process began last fall, with specific levels of service outlined in the request. Documents were sent to Windsor Police Service, LaSalle Police Service and Chatham-Kent Police Service, as well as the Solicitor General, who oversees the OPP contracts. Only Windsor and Chatham-Kent responded with proposals and administration viewed only the Windsor proposal as meeting the standards set out in the RFP. However, due to a large increase in cost over the current policing, they recommended council not accept the Windsor proposal. “This decision was originally not about the money,” said MacDonald. “It was about level of service.” “Now it’s coming down to money,” she added. “Do we subject our residents to an enormous tax increase?”

WHEATLEY — With last week’s announcement allowing golf courses to open on Saturday, May 22, it didn’t take long for the local links to fill up. Talbot Trail Golf Club was quickly booked full-up for tee times. Among those enjoying a round of golf this weekend was Mack Marshall, 6, of Wheatley, teeing off on the first hole at Talbot Trail on Saturday. He was out with his dad Steven, for their first round of golf this season. Mack was excited to be out and said he has actually been golfing since he was four years old. Sun photo

POLICE BID — From Page 1

Councillor Tim Wilkinson answered that emphatically. “For me, it’s pretty obvious, the impact this would have,” he said. “I cannot burden our taxpayers with a 13 per cent increase, especially during COVID,” added Councillor Bill Dunn. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke suggested that maybe they put the decision on the ballot in the next election in 2022. “I know people have campaigned for a change,” he said. “So how about putting it on the ballot?” The tax increase would amount to about $223 per household, for houses assessed at about $175,000. With the recent skyrocketing of real estate values, that figure would rise considerably. “We have a difficult decision to make tonight,” said Councillor Trevor Jones. “Would a change in service yield different results?” With a recorded vote, all councillors and the Mayor voted to reject the WPS proposal, with a promise to have discussions with the OPP upper echelon in coming weeks. “We are not reverting to status quo,” said MacDonald. “We will continue to

advocate for transparent, accountable and more than just ‘adequate’ service.” The OPP cost for 2021 is approximately $5.7 million, while WPS came in at $9.5 million, with the OPP required to stay on after the contract expiry under the Police Services Act. Changes to the OPP’s Community Safety Policing Act are due to come into effect in early 2022, which may change the level of service at that point. OPP Regional Commander Glenn Miller issued a statement late last week. “In response to the decision undertaken by the Town of Leamington with regard to policing, Essex County OPP looks forward to working with community leaders and residents in continuing the delivery of dedicated, professional and cost effective policing to the community of Leamington,” he said. “I want to express my thanks for the unwavering hard work and commitment shown by our Leamington OPP members as the municipality moved through this process. I remain immensely proud of our uniform members and civilian employees at our Leamington Detachment.”

Vaccine age lowered to 12 years REGIONAL — As of press time, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has invited all residents aged 12 and over to book their first vaccine appointment. In Chatham-Kent, the age was still standing at 18-plus, but the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit were encouraging the 12-plus group to pre-register for appointments that will begin in

June. As the vaccine rollout continues across the province, the age limits are changing every few days, so please visit your local health unit’s website for up-to-the-minute information. Details are available at Ontario.ca, wechu.org or ckphu.com.

Seniors Advisory Committee hard at work for community By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — With glowing praise from Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, the Leamington Seniors Advisory Committee is working hard behind the scenes. Advisory Committee Chair, Martin Girash, spoke to the Sun last week about the work being done by a group of often-unseen volunteers. “The town did a fabulous job of putting together a wide range of people,” he said. “It’s an honour to chair this group.” Mayor MacDonald and Councillor John Hammond also sit on the committee, which takes on the role of being a catalyst for helping seniors in the community. The committee brings ideas and concerns to council through their monthly meetings, serving in an advisory capacity. Other committee members include Melissa Bloomfield, Margaret Ingratta, Christine Lehn, Linda Tiessen and Linda Thiessen-Belch, all of whom have been instrumental in helping se-

niors in this community in recent years. Angela O’Toole is the staff liaison. Girash, a retired child psychologist and former CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital, is very proud of the work his committee has been able to accomplish throughout the COVID pandemic. They’ve been meeting virtually every month, whereas they would normally meet in person every three months. Recently, they’ve been behind a couple of initiatives to help local seniors cope with the COVID pandemic, namely helping with vaccine registration at the Half Century Centre and transportation to-and-from vaccine appointments provided through South Essex Community Council. Girash cites the individual specialties of the committee members as a huge bonus for Leamington. Melissa Bloomfield is a Seniors Advocate who is a Retirement Living Consultant with Chartwell Leamington, while Linda Tiessen is the former administrator at the Leamington Mennonite Home and heavily in-

volved with SECC. Christine Lehn is the Executive Director of the Leamington Half Century Centre, while Margaret Ingratta has been involved in the local greenhouse vegetable industry for many years and is now the chief agronomist for Sollum Technologies. Linda Thiessen-Belch is a nurse educator with Leamington Family Health team and specializes in diabetic education. “As you can see, they all bring something valuable to the table,” said Girash. With objectives such as engagement with seniors, education and partnering with agencies, the dedicated group is now busy developing an overall plan for Leamington’s older set. “There are a lot of agencies that are doing really good work,” said Girash. Girash points to loneliness as one of the concerns of seniors, especially during these difficult times. Those who live alone need support from their peers and friends. “It only takes a phone call or two a week to stay in touch,” he said.

Those same seniors need access to medical appointments as well. In the next few months, they will be working as hard as ever, as the community begins to emerge from under the pandemic cloud. If you are a senior with

a concern or suggestions, Martin Girash suggests you put it in writing and send it by mail to the Municipal Building in Leamington, marked Seniors Advisory Committee. The address is 111 Erie Street North, Leamington, N8H 2Z9.

The Sun will be running monthly updates from the Seniors Advisory Committee, which will outline the work they are doing to make life better for seniors in Leamington and surrounding area. Those monthly updates are expected to start soon.

Paid for by the Government of Ontario

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Last week, the Leamington Small Business Update was held virtually, outlining economic development, tourism and arts and culture in the municipality. Hosted by the Municipality of Leamington, the panel included representatives from Tourism Windsor-Essex Pelee Island, The Bank Theatre, Invest Windsor-Essex, Leamington District Chamber of Commerce, the Municipality of Leamington, and the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Centre. Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald started the meeting off by welcoming all of the delegates. “We appreciate what small business has gone through in this past year,” she said. “We certainly have been through tough times and we think that will get better.” Sabrina Demarco, Executive Director of the Small Business and Entrepreneurial Centre, outlined the programs and services produced by her organization to help businesses. “We offer various programs, including helping with start-up or helping businesses re-open safely,” she said. Demarco highlighted some of the programs available to small businesses, such as the Ontario Tourism and Travel

Small Business Support Grant, which allows up to $20,000 and is available until June 25. Other programs available to small tourism and hospitality business are the Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (HASCAP), the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) and the Canada Wage Subsidy Program, which have all been extended and expire at the end of June.

WENDY PARSONS

Wendy Parsons, Manager of the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce, said that many local restaurants and hospitality businesses have taken advantage of such programs and have managed to stay afloat in this uncertain world. “Those that have embraced change have come out so much better,” she said. “Our restaurants have changed menus, changed to curbside and some continue to thrive.” Diane Malenfant, General Manager of Community Futures Essex County, also offered various programs and connections to small rural businesses throughout the county.

“Seventy per cent of our clients are from main street business and twothirds of those are from Leamington, Kingsville and Pelee Island,” she said. Community Futures provides guidance, capital and programs that rural businesses need to succeed. Gordon Orr, CEO of Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI), says his organization has been working hard behind the scenes in preparation for the ‘new normal.’ “The tourism and hospitality industries were hit first and hit the hardest,” he said. We’re looking for better days ahead and have a plan for those days ahead.” TWEPI has developed various programs and initiatives to help the sector out of the pandemic when the time comes. Over at The Bank Theatre, President Corey Robertson hopes that their preparation and experiences during the pandemic will help them hit the ground running when the time comes. They’ve moved online with a lot of their old and new performance content and have ‘pivoted’ in many aspects along the way, including their recent 12 Days of Christmas and Spring Fling concert series. Robertson says in true show business fashion, “the show must go on.” They’ve got a future partnership going with the Leamington Arts Centre, which will allow patrons to purchase an Arts Pass that covers both venues. They are also getting ready to launch their Spirit Walks at Point Pelee National Park. “We have to get up and running as soon as possible,” said Robertson. “Not just to get our performances back, but to help this town get back on its feet.” Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld summed it up best when he closed with words of hope and optimism. “We have great hope,” he said. “Arts and culture events create a common experience for those in attendance. They also create a sense of community.”

Baclig family takes the long way home LEAMINGTON — A five-flight trip home to Canada has finally brought the Baclig family back to Leamington from their 11-year stay in Australia. Former Leamington Flyers standout Jason Baclig, his wife Danielle and their two children, Emiliano and Elea, made the trip back home this month. The family had made a decision to eventually come home over the past couple of years, but fast-tracked that decision last March when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The couple had taken an indirect path to get to Australia.

Jason’s hockey career took him to Europe, where Danielle came to visit while he was playing professionally there. “We both got the travel bug after seeing Europe and wanted to see more of the world,” said Jason. Danielle, who was working at the Ambassador Bridge, made a decision to head to Australia, where her brother had already moved, and Jason followed soon afterward. The couple was married in Windsor in 2013, with several of their new Aussie friends attending. They settled in Melbourne, where Danielle enrolled in University and Jason caught on with

the Melbourne hockey team, eventually running their hockey academy. Jason also became a full-time professional musician, playing gigs all over the country. Danielle was working for an education company, but once Emiliano came along, she settled into the role of a fulltime mom. The family enjoyed their life in Australia, but were happy to arrange a move back home, which began last spring. The rules on travel in Australia are still very strict, after the country completely locked down from last spring through An in-flight selfie for the Baclig family. They needed five the fall. flights and six COVID tests to get home. Photos submitted “We had to apply

for an exemption to travel,” said Jason. “People still can’t fly in for births or funerals, without an exemption.” Australia’s reaction to COVID-19 was perhaps the most radical of any of the countries in the world, with lockdowns and curfews unlike anything we’ve seen in Canada. Prior to 8 pm, you could leave your home for essential reasons, but a strict 8 pm curfew was enforced. “The majority of the people followed the rules and they are reaping the benefits of it now,” said Danielle. “Australia now has very few cases, and as they pop up, they are traced and taken care of,” said Jason. “Restaurants and concert venues are fully open.” The family was thrilled as they emerged from quarantine on Sunday. For now, plans are to live with Jason’s parents in Leamington, after quarantining at Danielle’s parents’ home in Harrow for the past two weeks. They left Melbourne on May 8 and flew to Sydney, where they boarded a plane to Los Angeles. From there, they went to

Dallas and on to Vancouver. Once on Canadian soil, the family had to quarantine in a hotel — at their own expense — for three days and pass their sixth COVID test.

Getting cool on those hot days The warm temperatures of late have most people heading to their thermostats to turn on that central air conditioning, or at the very least, cranking up that window unit. I think air conditioning is something that we’ve all come to take for granted these days. I grew up in a house without any air conditioning. In fact, I don’t remember even knowing what air conditioning was until about 1974 when we moved to town from Point Pelee. Our house in the park had one old box fan that my mother strategically placed in the archway between the living room and kitchen on hot summer days. Sometimes it would go into a window to bring some air in, but I think all it really did was suck in more hot air from outside. Imagine my surprise when we moved to town and the brand new house on Bruce Avenue had this unusual box outside. They told me that was the air conditioner and I was pleased to feel that cool air finally coming through the vents. Up until then, my air conditioning was sitting in the shade. I wasn’t much for running around with my shirt off, so I tried to stay out of the sun when I could. My aunt Polly called me Milky because I often didn’t tan like the other kids. With the beach not too far away, we always had Lake Erie to fall back on for cooling off. Being the son of a fisherman, my dad had giant blocks of ice delivered on a regular basis to the fishery. These blocks, which weighed hundreds of pounds

with ice picks, rendering the huge block into a series of smaller blocks that could be lifted with a pair of iron ice tongs. As they needed it, they would pull one of the smaller blocks out of the freezer and lift it with the tongs into the top of the ice crushing machine, which had already been activated by the push of a button. After a lot of noise and flying ice, chipped and crushed ice would emerge into a wooden fish tote underneath. The ice was used to keep fish cool after they were taken from the nets on the lake, all the way through until they were put in the walk-in cooler. It was also used by us kids to stay cool in the hot summer. It felt good to bury your arms into the freshly crushed ice. I think we take certain things for granted in our lives now and those who still live without AC should be commended. There are days I think back to those times without artificial cooling machines and I’m grateful to have the means to cool off when I need it.

Bank Theatre ready to entertain in near future By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The Bank Theatre is poised to entertain the community, once they get the green light. With their Annual General Meeting last week, the Board of Directors is set for the next year, with returning President Corey Robertson once again at the helm. “We have five plays ready to go,” said Robertson last week. “We’re looking forward to presenting these productions when we are allowed to do so.”

First, the local theatre group has plans for their Spirit Walks in Point Pelee National Park, which are expected to begin this summer, once provincial guidelines permit. The Spirit Walks, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Leamington, will take patrons on a guided tour of some of Point Pelee’s famous trails, with actors portraying real people from Point Pelee’s past. Robertson says they are looking forward to the utilizing the vast stage of Point Pelee’s wilderness.

“We’ve had a real nice response from the acting community,” he said. “We will absolutely follow the guidelines put forth by health officials.” Among other plans The Bank Theatre has to offer in upcoming months, is a variety show planned for a grand reopening, complete with musicians, duelling pianos, circus performers and a barbershop quartet. “It will have something for everyone,” Robertson says. The variety show will be held virtually to begin .

A live performance will be held once they are allowed to have a full house inside the theatre. That will lead up to the fall productions with hopes to present The Fly Fisherman’s Companion, followed by Waiting for the Parade, A Christmas Story, The Odd Couple and Five Alarm — not necessarily in that order. In addition, they’ve also announced a new Leamington Arts Pass, coming in September, in partnership with the Leamington Arts Centre. The pass will include

NEWS RELEASE

LAWN WATERING RESTRICTIONS The Union Water Supply System (UWSS) would like to remind all consumers of water that watering restrictions are in place each year starting May 1st and running through September 30th. A reliable water supply helps ensure potable water reserves, adequate water pressure and fire protection. Each year, the warmer weather is associated with a higher demand on water systems 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, especially between the hours of 12:00pm (noon) and 6:00pm. During these peak water demand times, increased stress on the drinking water system can result in low pressures and insufficient reserves required for fire protection can therefore pose a potential risk to public safety. Reducing our use of treated water during times when the demand for it is highest helps ensure the reliable water supply we all count on. Outdoor watering restrictions during summer months is one of the tools that helps reduce the stress on the UWSS water system. The watering restrictions include watering your lawn or garden based on your house number. Odd homes should water on odd calendar days and even numbered homes on even days. Watering times are between 5 am and 8 am and 6 pm and midnight. For further information visit our website at www.unionwater.ca and click on the Lawn Watering Brochure tab. We thank all consumers with assistance in ensuring that UWSS can continue to meet the high water demands that we are faced with during the summer months. Sincerely, Rodney Bouchard General Manager Union Water Supply System

happy to be partnering with the Bank Theatre to offer a joint membership. It’s something we’ve needed for a while now to help grow and solidify the arts this region,” said Art Centre Curator Chad Riley. Robertson is thrilled with the partnership as well. “This will make a difference to regional arts tourism,” he said. “The economic spinoff for local restaraunts, bars, retail and hotels will be great.” The future looks bright with two new members joining the board of directors. Along with Robertson’s position, Roger Hewett is Vice President, Katherine Albuquerque is treasurer, Cher Smith is secretary. Other board members are Renata Solski, Denis Bastarache, Scott Berry, Michael Hale, and Paul Merdeiros, with John Hammond as the representative from the municipality. This group will be responsible for taking The Bank Theatre through their re-emergence as Leamington’s premier live entertainment source. It’s something that Corey Robertson is keenly looking forward to. “The show must go on,” he said.

Hulda Rempel

Hulda Rempel (Neumann) slipped into eternity on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. Predeceased by her dear husband John. (2009) Loving sister of the late Maria Regehr (Leamington), and her siblings in Germany, Heinrich, Ida, Daniel and Emil and their spouses. Also predeceased by sister Emma and brother Helmut (Poland). Devoted aunt of Art Regehr, Louise Wiens, Viktor Rempel, John Rempel and Gerhard Rempel. Dedicated great-aunt of Chantelle Carey, Ashley Incitti, AdamWiens, Rachel Wiens, Adam Rempel, Miranda Rempel, Mackenizie Rempel, Michael Rempel and Mitchell Rempel. Her greatest joy were her great-great-nieces and nephew, Mya, Alessio, Olivia and Kenna. Numerous nieces and nephews and their families also survive in Germany. Hulda was born on October 27, 1924 in Leipzig, Bessarabia (now Moldova and Ukraine), and had started training as a nurse when WW2 broke out. In 1940, all of the 93,000 ethnic Germans living in Bessarabia were commanded by Hitler to be repatriated to Germany, even though they had been settled in Bessarabia for several generations. Hulda found herself in a resettlement camp in Poland along with her mother, four of her siblings and their children. From there they were deported to Kazakhstan in 1945 where they survived ten years of horrendous exile on a collective farm. Here she met her husband John who had also been exiled there, from a Mennonite village in Ukraine. In l955 they were allowed to return to Germany, and in l958, at the invitation of Peter Epp, they came to Leamington along with John’s younger brother Gerhard. She lived a long life, deriving strength from a Bible verse which spoke to her during her confirmation at the age of 15. “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5 As an expression of sympathy memorial donations may be made to the Leamington Food Bank. Visiting was at the Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) on Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. A Private Funeral Service to celebrate Hulda’s life was held on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 11:30 a.m. Livestream available at www.reidfuneralhome.ca.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, love and romance are definitely in your favor this week. If you have been pondering setting up a date or taking a spouse out for a night on the town, do it.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, grab what you want this week, but remember that the more tightly you try to hang on to it, the more likely it will slip through your fingers. Employ some give and take. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may be unsure of which way a relationship is leaning and waiting for the other person to make the next move. Don’t let opportunities pass you by. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if a supervisor seems set in his or her ways, you might have to present your proposal in language that will appeal to this person the most. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you are off doing your own thing, you may have to instruct others who count on you how to proceed in your absence. Keep the lines of communication open. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Other people are not mind readers, Libra. If you need something or are unhappy with a situation, you must speak up. Address concerns promptly. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It is quite easy to manipulate a situation if others aren’t paying attention, Scorpio. If you are guiding or mentoring someone, exercise caution to stay neutral. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t get ahead of yourself by projecting scenarios that may never see the light of day, Sagittarius. It’s better to live in the present and then adjust to what comes your way. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Your thoughts may be pulling you one way and then another, Capricorn. Find focus by zeroing in on the main thing that needs the most attention at this point. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may have to take a more reserved approach to get where you need to go. Even still, your love for adventure and freedom can be compelling motivators.

OTTAWA – Dave Epp, Member of Parliament for Chatham-Kent—Leamington, recently voiced his support for the petition by Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, which calls upon the government to reform licensing and oversight for cannabis produced for personal medical use. “Currently, many medical cannabis growing licenses are abused, and the excess that is grown is diverted for commercial sale on the black market. These illegal grow-ops have negative impacts on our neighbourhoods by generating unpleasant odours, increasing traffic levels, and reducing property values,” said

cumstances.” MacDonald started the petition, hoping to prompt change in Health Canada’s regulations. “They need to have more oversight over the Tier 2 cannabis sector,” she said. “these guys are growing far beyond the limits of a prescription.” Mayor MacDonald also questioned where all of the prescriptions are coming from, as several people are joining forces with their prescriptions in order to inflate the amount of cannabis they can grow.

Epp. “Additionally, municipal law enforcement has little to no power over these grow-ops, resulting in infrequent action to prevent their operations. We commend the recent raids and arrests by the OPP, but understand that current regulations drastically hinder their abilities to address these operations as well.” “This is enabled, in part, by Health Canada’s grossly inaccurate yield estimates that enable an individual medical licensee to grow over 10 times the recommended daily dosage,” continued Epp. “The federal government has also failed to examine and inspect personal medical cannabis production, allowing the black and grey markets to thrive under current cir-

Flyerettes were local women’s hockey champions in ‘72

By C. Scott Holland While sifting through some older hockey photos, the one that caught my eye was that of the 1971-72 Leamington Flyerettes. The team had played in an all-girls hockey league for several seasons and showed their abilities in ’71-72 by winning the Four-Star Ladies Hockey League regular season title and then taking the playoff crown, all while only suffering one loss. With skill and perseverance, the Flyerettes swept rival Tilbury Kinettes for the championship, taking the series 3-0. But the last two games were close and could have gone to either team. The Flyerettes won game two by a 1-0 score. The heroine of that contest was Leamington’s

Pat Mifflin, who broke a scoreless deadlock at 12:56 of the third period when she drilled a Marie Riley pass into the Tilbury net. In the final game, Tilbury surged ahead 1-0 in the opening period on a deflected shot by Cathy Goodreau that eluded Flyerettes goalie Jackie Taggart. The club rebounded in the second when Mary Jane Whittle pumped a slapshot which knotted the score. Shortly thereafter, Trudy Wheeler connected on a similar slapshot and made it 2-1. The two teams battled the rest of the way, however, when the final buzzer sounded, the Flyerettes had won the game 2-1 and along with it, the Four-Star Ladies Hockey League playoff championship.

The 1971-72 Leamington Flyerettes won the Four-Star Ladies Hockey League regular season title and playoff crown. Team members were, front row (seated), left to right: Trudy Wheeler, Pat Mifflin, Marie Riley, Mary Jane Whittle. Middle row: Judy Pepper, GM Henry Wheeler, Jill McMullin, Nora Pinch, Barb Impens, Jackie Taggart. Back row: Val Mills, Janie Quick, Diane Drummond, Ev Impens. Trudy Hall. From the C. Scott Holland collection

Two LDMHA champs decided in OT By C. Scott Holland Back in 1972, the Leamington District Minor Hockey Association’s playoff championships had two very exciting games that were decided in overtime. Those contests took place in the Bantam and Atom divisions. In the Atom game, Wheeler Dealers edged Tann’s Alignment 2-1. The Wheeler team fell behind 1-0 when Pat Dibbley put Tann’s ahead. But Mike Burden of Wheelers knotted the game at 13:49 of the second and the score remained that way until overtime. The hero was Brian

Biekx, who unleashed a 50-foot blast that a defenseman failed to corral and the Tann goalie lost track of. The puck bounced past him to give Wheeler the playoff crown. The Bantam game was just as thrilling as Otton & Malott nipped the Rotary Club 2-1. This one was a battle of two outstanding goaltenders – Tracy Rekuta of Otton & Malott and Joe Wickham of Rotary. Don Goddard opened the scoring, which put Rotary ahead before Jerry Omstead fired the tying goal to balance the score. The two netminders handled all the pucks headed their way until

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk Mike Rowlands attended Northern Secondary School in Toronto in the early 1960s. Here is the story of a car he would like to own again: “It was a 1956 Ford Victoria California car. It had been stripped but I found original power steering, power brakes, power windows, and power seat. I should have never sold that one.” The 1956 Ford sales

brochure sings the praises of this body style: “With a roof line nearly two inches lower – yet with more than ample head room – this Victoria has a new and distinguished silhouette. A truly smart car, it stands out wherever you go.” Mike’s ’56 Victoria stands out even more because of its gleaming black finish. By the mid50s, you could buy a new Ford in almost every colour of the rainbow – pink, purple, you name

Pet of the Week KILO

1.5 years - Hello, I’m Kilo. I may look like a big confident Mastiff weighing in at 80lbs... but I’m actually very very afraid. I’m scared of new people especially men (they are the scariest..)... I need time to warm up and get comfortable with people, and I do not like being rushed. Once I get comfortable with you I will love you lots and be the most affectionate boy! The humans always say that honesty is the best policy so that’s why I want to be honest with you about who I am and what I need. I guess it’s important to also mention I’m not super great with other dogs either because I will need training and I must go to a calm and predictable household with no children and no chaos. I would also prefer a fenced yard. I am very eager to get out of the shelter and into my forever home.

If you look closely at the front fender just ahead of the left front wheel, you will see the Thunderbird insignia, letting you know there is a lot of horsepower under the hood.

Up to 225 hp in Fordomatic Fairlanes and Station Wagons – up to 202 hp in Fordomatic Customline and Mainline models.” Several other details on Mike’s ’56 Victoria are

Sports flashbacks from 1969 This week’s flashbacks go to May of 1969. Bantam A crew posts 5-1 win The Leamington Moose Lodge beat Riverside 5-1 on Sunday afternoon at Margaret D. Bennie School diamond to open their season on a winning note. Jack Hills hurled a masterful game for Leamington, retiring 23 of the first 24 batters he faced. He lost his shutout bid in the top of the ninth on a single, a stolen base and two Leamingotn errors. Gene Biekx led the winners with a double and single. Kris Manery belted a triple. Jim Hillier, Hills and Dave Tippett each contributed singles. Tykes trounced 14-5 South Windsor took the season opener at home, as they manhandled the Local 459 Tykes 14-5. Dan Galloway worked the first five innings for Leamington and took the loss. Mark Whittle pitched one inning of relief. Whittle and Mike McKinnon each belted a double for Leamington. Dale Towle, Bill Wheeler, Ron Goslin and Jim Cilis-

ka had the other hits. Kingsville edges Sportsmen The Kingsville fastball club outlasted the Leamington Sportsman Hotel squad by a 12-11 score on Monday night at the fairgrounds. The winners knocked Sportsman pitcher Walt Tiessen around for 15 hits. His teammates committed 10 errors. Ross Jacobson, Angus Taggart and Steve Sebele pitched for Kingsville, with Taggart getting the win. They allowed eight Leamington hits, but walked seven. Jim Gillanders paced the winners with two triples and two singles in six trips. Sebele, Taggart and Tim Sellars each collected a pair of hits. For Leamington, John Arrowsmith, Bob Will and Terry Knight had two hits each. Vernor Penner belted a solo homerun in the first inning. Peewees nip Riverside The Leamingotn Legion Peewees opened their 1969 Western Counties baseball season with a comefrom-behind 3-2 win over Riverside at Queen Elizabeth school diamond. The locals scored twice in

the bottom of the last inning to win in walk-off fashion. Paul Krause went the distance on the mound for the win, striking out 13 batters with a two-hitter. Dave Bowden paced the winners with a pair of doubles. His lead-off double started Leamington’s comeback in the seventh. He took third on a passed ball and walk to Jerry Hills, and then rode home on Bob Willms’ single. Hill scored the winning run on Dave Nemey’s bouncer to first. Dominions tie Windsor in roller hockey The Leamington Dominions came close to handing the Windsor Canadians their first defeat in Central Roller Hockey League action on the weekend. Leamington led 5-4 after two, but Windsor scored the only goal of the third period. Dan Yacyshyn paced Leamington with a pair of goals, while singles went to Jerry Harris, Nelson Grey and Wally Tatomir. Zig Mazgaj faced 32 Windsor shots in goal.
