The Unico Community Centre on Beech Street will be the home of Kingsville Town Council meetings for the next three to five years. A motion was brought forward by Councillor Tony Gaffan at the October 10 council meeting, recommending that meetings be relocated to either the Unico Hall or the Grovedale Arts and Culture Centre until council approves a plan for the permanent future location of the meetings. In the 2023 facilities review released this past summer, it was recommended that the current town hall be replaced. Currently, staff quarters are cramped and the council chambers could be better utilized to accommodate staff who are sharing offices within the building. Gaffan’s motion was originally stated as follows: “That Council and committee meetings be relocated to either the Unico or Grovedale, with office space available for staff in the current Town Hall council chambers. This temporary relocation to either the Unico or Grovedale will be for three to five years until Council approves a plan for the permanent future location for meetings, per the recommendations outlined in the 2023 Facilities Review.” A comparison report presented by Kingsville CAO John Norton showed the differences between the Unico and Grovedale options, with one of the main points be-
ing the time it would take to set up and take down the council set-up at the Grovedale, while the Unico could be set up permanently. Both options are larger than the current town hall council chambers, but some set-up would be required to utilize each. Councillor Thomas Neufeld said he supported the Unico location over the Grovedale, as it was used for the same purpose years ago while the town hall was being renovated. He made a motion to amend Gaffan’s original motion to strike the Grovedale from the motion and use only the Unico option. “We’re looking at this to be a temporary location, after which the Unico should be liquidated as was the plan when we purchased it,” he said. Councillor Gaffan disagreed. “I think out of the box and after nine years of sitting in this room, I think the upstairs at the Grovedale would be your best move,” he said. “We have made it abundantly clear that we are removing as much private usage as possible and it’s more for the municipality.” Gaffan said that the upstairs at the Grovedale is underutilized and would be a perfect setting, allowing them to use it for municipal needs like it was originally intended. “We can install a curtain to keep people out and leave the council chamber set up permanently up there,” he added.

Respect Forum offers hope, advice for those with PTSD By Mark Ribble St. John’s Anglican Church Annex in Leamington hosted the Respect Forum on Wednesday, October 11 with local first responders, healthcare professionals and clergy — as well as members of the public — attending. The Repect Forum is part of the Respect Canada Campaign and brings together people from health and social services, all levels of government, universities, community organizations and peer support organizations in a meeting setting to talk about their organizations and the challenges they face, paving the way for collaboration. The organization has been hosting Respect Forums since 2016. Retired Lt. Colonel Morris Brause organized and hosted the Leamington event, which also included guest speakers from healthcare, police and fire, who spoke on PTSD and its effects on their lives and careers. Lakeshore Deputy Fire Chief Andre Marentette and Windsor Police Constable JP Karam both spoke about an incident in downtown Windsor on March 21, 2018 in which Marentette — then a Windsor Police officer — shot and killed a Windsor man who was attacking Karam with a knife.
The two spoke about the incident and played a video of their experience that day and the months that followed. Marentette’s PTSD journey was long and difficult, and he eventually left the police force to join the Lakeshore Fire Department full time. Karam and Marentette spoke well together as the former police partners talked about the process in which the incident was dealt with and the coroner’s inquest that followed. “It’s not the incident on its own,” said Marenette. “It’s the culmination of everything leading up to that.” And the two partners had different reactions to the fallout from that day, both speaking on the subject and sharing their experience with those in attendance. Another guest speaker, Marcie Resendes, who authored a book — If The Brain Could Stop What The Eyes Have Seen — about her PTSD journey, spoke to the crowd about an incident while working in the local Emergency Room as a triage nurse and how that incident — combined with many others — brought on nightmares. Resendes, who’s been a registered nurse for 24 years, said she felt like she had the flu, but it turned

out to be much more than that. “I knew something wasn’t right,” she said. “But I didn’t know what was wrong.” The nightmares after the incident — which involved a man coming into E.R. who had been crushed between an excavator and a giant concrete block — got to the point where she couldn’t function. “I kept dreaming about a sink in the emergency room overflowing with blood and that blood just wouldn’t stop flowing,” she said. She talked about just trying to forge ahead and do her job, but eventually had to take time off work and was diagnosed with PTSD in January, 2019. The journey from there has been difficult but Marcie is taking each day as it comes and acknowledges there will be good days and bad, saying “It’s really important to enjoy the good days,” she said. “If you can get out, get out.” The general theme about getting the right help from the right people was evident in all three speakers who talked about their PTSD journeys. Katelynn Dunwoody, who is a Victim Specialist for the Essex County OPP Detachment, spoke briefly on the resources available and her department’s work on dealing with victims of crimes and how that has evolved over the years. The final speaker — Morris Brause himself — did a tour in Bosnia in 1994 and was the commanding officer for a unit of 450 battle-group soldiers. The atrocities he saw there haunted him for many years and coupled with a failed marriage
when he arrived home, he started to withdraw from society. “I’m a tough old soldier,” he said. “I would literally start having nightmares.” His nightmares lasted from 1994 to about 2003. Brause said his motto was “soldier on” and he felt that he could get help but was certain he’d end
up on medical leave and be forced out of the military. In 2003, he says, he finally “crashed” and went on full-time counselling, was put on leave and regular medication. After some time, he was able to re-join the military and did a tour of Afghanistan as a commanding officer and also commanded
the Essex-Kent Scottish Regiment before retirement. He’s been involved with the Respect Forum since 2016. His final message is that you can bounce back from PTSD if you give it enough time and effort. “With good support, this old soldier got back in the saddle,” he said.

KINGSVILLE RELOCATES From Page 1
Councillor Sheri Lowrie agreed with Gaffan. “I was under the impression that the Unico was to be kept as a community centre,” she said. “The Grovedale is underutilized. I’m in agreement with the Grovedale being a better space.” Norton agreed that closing off the upstairs of the Grovedale from the public is possible, but would cost more money than setting up at the Unico. Deputy Mayor Kimberly DeYong offered that they should replace the current council desk with folding tables and chairs and she was in favour of the Unico solution. “To me, its pointing to Unico because
of staff time and we don’t have a lot of staff,” she said. Mayor Dennis Rogers spoke in favour of the Unico location. “We want to be fiscally responsible with this decision,” he said. “From what I’m hearing, Unico is a better decision and that’s what I’ll support.” Gaffan offered that the upstairs at Grovedale was more professional. “I do believe we have the capability of putting it up there,” he said. In the end, council voted on the amended motion and only Gaffan and Lowrie voted against that amendment. They expect to relocate to the Unico Centre by the end of the year.

Star Chefs Gala raises funds for Erie Shores Health Foundation
By Deanna Bertrand This year’s Kingsville Lions Club Star Chefs Gala added some extra spice to its menu with a Battle of the Hors D’Oeuvres. Four local chefs from Mettawas Station, El Diablo, The Goose Kitchen, and Tap 127 prepared
mouth-watering creations for guests to sample and then vote on prior to the main sit-down meal by Chef Kyle Sala from License to Sear. “It’s called the Star Chefs Gala because they really are star chefs,” says committee member Casey van den Heuvel. “We’re

so grateful for their work and to the people who have come out to support the event.” The sold-out event, organized by the Kingsville Lions Club, was held at the Grovedale Arts and Cultural Centre Saturday evening, October 14, and included food by local chefs, entertainment, dancing, and silent and live auctions. Funds raised from the event are earmarked for Erie Shores Health Foundation and its current MRI campaign. El Diablo chef John Perciballi made a Mole Short Rib Sope, while The Goose Kitchen and Bar chef Trevor Loop went with a Korean Fried Chicken with Carmel Gochujang and cashews. Tap 127 chef Billy Alexander chose an authentic creation of Bison Sweetgrass Trail, while Mettawas Station chef Anthony DelBrocco went with mascarpone and pecan stuffed dates wrapped in pancetta with Naples syrup and chili oil. That proved to be a winning dish with Mettawas Station and Chef DelBrocco taking home bragging rights in the first Battle of the Hors D’Oeuvres.

Otentiks host artists at Point Pelee By Mark Ribble The annual Art at the
Otentiks returned to Point Pelee National Park
on the weekend of October 14-15 and despite some inclement weather on Saturday, vendors saw a brisk business under Sunday’s sunny skies. The parking lots near the Visitor Centre and West Beach were full of patrons wanting to walk the Otentik trails and peruse a variety of goods created and sold by over 30 vendors. Hundreds of people made their way through the trails, stopping at each Otentik along the way and several vendors also set up in the Camp Henry camping area as well. The event was free with park admission.

Social media started out as something social
When I joined Facebook back in about 2007, I went on there mainly to see what all the fuss was about. Someone I worked with suggested I might be able to connect with old friends and things like that. The first couple of years got me addicted to it as I found it fascinating. It was mostly pictures of kids and grandkids, jokes and memes and lots of other interesting stuff. I did connect with several childhood friends — people I hadn’t seen in years. Soon Facebook was filled with people telling me what they had for dinner and complaining about certain retailers and how customer service has taken a downturn (which it has).
It ‘progressed’ to several Street Watch type of sites and the “if you grew up in” sites, which both posted a lot of interesting stuff. The Candy Crush era also had me on Facebook for hours at time trying to get past friends and relatives and solve each level to that very addictive game. Facebook was evolving and I was along for the ride. I joined Twitter shortly after that and saw much of the same, although Twitter allowed me to lament about my favourite sports teams along with other fans and I stuck around for that fun stuff. Sometime in the past sevenor-so years, social media has spiraled into a cesspool of politics, religious debates and com-
mercial posts and I find myself reducing my time on both platforms. Facebook itself has also cut into my livelihood, so there’s that. In the days before social media, the newspaper industry thrived on advertising. The internet in general changed the world in that regard but social media really reached in and grabbed a lot of advertisers. But that’s not the most annoying thing about social media today. The political climate out there has been enabled by — and promoted by — social media. Whether you’re on Facebook or Twitter, the constant bombardment of one view or the other is always there.

Cool Windsor-built 1949 Meteor The Sounds of Silence An email arrived from Harvey LeBlanc, a member of the Centennial Street Rod Club in Toronto: “Hi Bill. Here is the story of a 1949 Meteor Coupe I customized about 20 years ago. I bought it from a good friend who had restored it a few years earlier. I drove it for a few years and then decided to customize it. “I chopped the roof two-and-a-half inches, frenched the headlights, taillights and front parking lights, shaved off the door handles, hood and trunk, rounded the hood corners, put louvers in the hood, and installed ’55 Pontiac side trim.” But the changes did not stop there. “I also installed bubble skirts, lakes pipes along the rocker panels, dummy spotlights, power disc brakes, tilt steering,

This car had lots of show and go! The Meteor was introduced by Ford of Canada in 1949 as the Canadian version of the Ford. Over 23,000 were built and sold in that first year.

This week, we’ll look briefly at the incredible musical career of Paul Simon & Arthur Garfunkel. It all began when Paul started performing with his school mate Art at the age of 10 when they starred in a school production of Alice in Wonderland. When Paul was 13, his father wrote the chords and words of a song for Simon and Garfunkel called “The Girl for Me”. The paper containing these words became the first copyrighted Simon and Garfunkel song and it is now in the Library of Congress. Later, in their mid-teens, they recorded the song “Hey, Schoolgirl” under the name of Tom & Jerry. The song reached 49 on the local pop charts. After high school, Simon majored in English at Queens College, while Garfunkel studied Mathematics at Columbia University in Manhattan. From 1957 until 1964, Paul wrote and recorded over 30 songs. In 1964, they auditioned for Columbia Records and produced an album that Columba would note it as Simon & Garfunkel instead of Tom & Jerry. Called “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.”, the record containing 12 songs, with five written by Simon that did not have much success. After the album failed to make any major ground, a disappointed Simon moved to England and played in various folk clubs in the London area.

BUSINESS PROFILE
VALENTE DEVELOPMENT HOLDING OPEN HOUSE FOR NEW LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS IN KINGSVILLE Having developed condominium communities throughout Essex County, Valente Development is proud to leave a footprint in Kingsville as they offer the opportunity for empty nesters and retirees to lead a maintenance-free lifestyle at Kingstown Commons, named after Kingsville’s founder, James King. Their complex is comprised of two six-story structures, namely, Kings Building at 190 Main Street East and Queens Building at 224 Main Street East.
Valente Development is excited to be holding their first open house for the new builds on Sunday, October 22 from 1 to 4 pm. Peter Valente, President of Valente Development, indicated that Kingsville was a sensational spot to build luxury condominiums as the town lacks an adequate inventory of this type of build. Valente shovels hit the ground in May of 2021 to offset this existing shortage and the corporation is now looking forward
to begin their newest housing venture on the west side of Kingsville, named Kings Village at the Lake, in the new year.

Hometown Hero banners honour Leamington veterans
With Remembrance Day fast approaching, it’s that time of year to honour our veterans and each town in our readship area has a strong veteran banner program. In Leamington, the banners go up after Thanksgiving and remain on the poles until Remembrance Day when they are taken down and stored until the following year. The Leamington
Hometown Heroes committee formed in 2019 with five private citizens planning out the program and carrying it out with a partnership from the Municipality of Leamington and the Uptown Leamington BIA. Banner committee members include Jerry Ribble, Judy Ribble, Mark Ribble, Tim and Laura Wilkinson. Each year, a call is put out for any families wishing to
honour their veterans and through a process, new banners are produced each fall and added to the existing collection. Below is a list of those veterans who have been honoured by their loved ones on the streetlight poles in uptown Leamington. Leading Seaman Robert Sovie, Rifleman Dewar “Sonny” Sovie, Rifleman Robert Wallace,

We thank our wonderful friends and family for all of their support over the past year and know that they also cherish the fond memories that we share. You are so missed by us all.
Your loving partner of 61 years Richard, children and spouses Michael & Anette and Susan and Keith, and your beautiful grandchildren Laura (Ryan), Matthew, Marcus (Malene), Lucas and Carla.
Happy Birthday to our loving grandfather Pasquale “Pat” Mattia. We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone birthday with you and wish you continued health and love. Love always, Anthoney & Michelle

NOTICE
Notice of Complete Application and Public Meeting to Consider a Municipally Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment
Public Notice of Pesticide Use
This notice has been updated with a new meeting date. Take notice that the Municipality of Leamington has received a complete Zoning By-law Amendment Application, ZBA No. 284 to be considered by Council under the provisions of Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c.P. 13. And further that Council will hold a public meeting to consider the application. A key map has not been provided as the proposed amendment applies to the entire Municipality of Leamington. The application will be heard by Council:
The Municipality of Leamington intends to control weeds on curbs, trails and rural bridges beginning on May 8, 2023, weather permitting, and ending October 20, 2023. The application of pesticide will be completed for the promotion of public health or safety per section 7.1(2) of the Pesticides Act.

6:00 PM
Location:
Leamington Municipal Building, Council Chambers, 111 Erie Street North, Leamington, Ontario N8H 2Z9
You may view the meeting in person or on the Municipality’s website at leamington.ca/live. The purpose of the municipally initiated housekeeping amendment is to amend the zoning by-law by adding a permitted use to all Agricultural Residential (A5) Zoned properties to permit the keeping of chicken and fowl in accordance with a new section of the zoning bylaw Section 4.25.1 Keeping of Chickens and Fowl in the Agricultural Residential (A5) Zone. Background: Currently Zoning By-law 890-09, as amended, does not allow for chicken or fowl to be kept on A5 properties. Due to public feedback, the municipality initiated a review of the policies to determine the appropriateness of chickens on A5 properties. A Public Open House was held on September 7th, 2023, to gather feedback from the public and industry. The online municipal engagement tool Let’s Talk Leamington was also used to gather public feedback. All the comments and feedback provided were reviewed and incorporated in the drafting of the report and by-law for the Leamington Council to Review. Any person may make written and/or verbal comments either in support of or in opposition to the application(s). If you are an owner of property containing seven (7) or more residential units, you are requested to post this notice in a location visible to all residents.

Flyers halt Huskies, clip Cougars in two league games
By C. Scott Holland The Haliburton County Huskies arrived at the Nature Fresh Complex early last Thursday and may have wanted an earlier departure time than what they got. Several factors contributed to the latter. One was the Flyers outscoring Haliburton and a second was a lengthy delay 38 seconds into the third period when a Huskies’ player crashed into the corner boards in his own end zone. The Flyers won the contest 8-2 in front of 913 fans. “It was a really important game for us considering we had dropped our previous three,” said head coach Dale Mitchell. “I thought we came out strong and played a full 60 minutes of hockey. We had a good solid week of preparation and practice and realized how important their games are this week (vs. Haliburton, Burlington and Buffalo).” The opening frame was close as the Flyers grabbed a 2-1 lead and expanded on that in the second. The Flyers opened the scoring when Brayden Degelas and Marquise Brown set up Cam Arquette who deposited the puck into an open side of the net near the seven-minute mark, but shortly afterward Haliburton knotted the contest. At 15:12 Alex Cunningham began his hattrick night while on a powerplay as he slotted a goal while perched on the Huskies’ doorstep. On a powerplay drive 90 seconds into the middle stanza, Haliburton tied the game at 2-2 on a shot that bounded of starter Sebastien Gatto’s goal stick. But the Flyers’ offense regained the lead as Degelas and Darian Anderson assisted on a screen shot that was like a heat-seeking missile which Cunningham took. At 6:22, Cayden Faust made it a 4-2 contest via a backhand shot, while the Flyers enjoyed another powerplay opportunity. Anthony CIaramitaro and Ray Hamlin reaped assists on the play. Later in the period, the Andersons teamed up for the fifth Flyers’ marker as Darian hooked a pass to Max whose right lane blast found the target. As things heated back up, a Flyers’ seven-minute powerplay started as Alex Cunningham benefited from an Anthony Ciaramitaro rebound as he was on starter Logan Kennedy’s doorstep and notched his hattrick goal. At 10:59, Nick Mahy and Ray Hamlin set up Cade Bell who snapped his first tally of the season from the left side. Finishing off the offensive assault was Griffin Grundner who pumped the eighth goal
Last Thursday night against the Haliburton Huskies the Flyers’ offense came to life and tabbed eight goals - their most as an OJHL team. Here the Flyers celebrate one of their goals. The Flyers won the contest 8-2 and will host the Georgetown Raiders at 7:10 pm this Thursday. Scott Holland photo
from a nearly identical spot as Bell’s tally. At 11:42 it appeared that Haliburton’s spare goalie would enter the game, but starter Kennedy remained between the pipes for the duration. Leamington outshot Haliburton 38-29. On Friday night the Flyers traveled to Burlington and edged the Cougars 3-2.
Leamington took a 3-0 lead before Burlington made it 3-1 and then added a late goal to close the gap. Scoring for the Flyers were Darian Anderson, Alex Cunningham and Adrian Bosev. Sebastian Gatto got the victory by halting 48 Burlington shots. Schedule: Thursday, October 19 versus the Georgetown Raiders at 7:10 pm.
U14 Trailblazers open Bluewater season with wins The Talbot Trail Blazers U14 hockey team began their Bluewater Hockey League schedule this past weekend with a pair of games. On Saturday night, Oct. 14, the Blazers host-
ed the Belle River Canadiens at Essex Arena. The team, eager to begin their quest for another Bluewater League title, came out flying, scoring in the first two minutes. As the dust settled,
*
Talbot Trail easily skated away with a 8-0 victory. Ben Liebrock and Jonathan Recker both potted a pair of goals to lead their squad, while Brayden Foster, AJ Youssef, Charlie Ketler and Isaiah
Georges each notched one apiece to round out the scoring. Trent Chevalier, between the pipes, earned the shutout victory. On Sunday, the U14 squad hit the road to face
off with the Kent Cobras in Chatham. The goals came early and often in this game as well, as the Blazers’ cruised to a 6-1 win. Lucas O’Neil paced his team by scoring a pair.

Sharks roar back to beat Flags 6-5 After finishing off a grueling four-game-in seven-night marathon with a 132-minute penalty-filled 5-3 road loss to Essex, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks enjoyed a week off to polish off their skills. The Mooretown Flags visited last Wednesday, and goalie John Chartrand always seems to bring his ‘A’ game to the Wheatley Arena. The Sharks controlled most of the first period with a decisive shot advantage but only managed to secure a 1-0 lead on a mid-period tally by Vito Alfano. They started strong in the second but were completely stymied by no puck luck and a series of jumping jellybean bounces that somehow ended behind a very unlucky Sharks goalie, Ethan Handley. Mooretown jumped
on their few chances and ended up sniping four unanswered goals over a six-minute span to hold a commanding 4-1 lead before the midway mark. A time out and goalie change to Jaxon Drysdale seemed to settle the players and coaches down and the Sharks plodded on. A relentless forecheck combined with a stalwart defensive effort finally paid huge dividends for the locals, as they finally managed to get some pucks past the goal line. Beginning at 17.44 of the second and ending at .18 seconds of the third the Sharks would swarm back with four unanswered tallies of their own over that 2:34 second span. The teams traded the final two goals through the remainder of the third with the final favouring

the Sharks 6-5. Jake Eaton with two, Kyle Bleau and Braedon Caetano sparked the rally with Issac Legood sniping the winner to sink the Flags. Sharks carried a 4230 shot advantage. Sunday in Amherstburg, the Sharks would follow a similar path of scoring with a four-goal outburst during eight minutes of the second frame enroute to a convincing 8-0 road victory. Manager Tom Grubb working the phone lines, secured rugged defenceman Darby Drouillard from Jr. B and he wasted no time making his presence felt with a two-assist, one-scrap debut. Shannon Olson and Ethan Hamelin led the scoring with two each,
with Kyle Bleau, Braedon Caetano, Denzil Aguilar and Vito Alfano notching singles. Jaxon Drysdale turned back 23 saves for the shutout victory. Coach Carnevale was “pleased with the composure shown despite being
down 4-1 to Mooretown over that 6 minute span,” adding, “after roaring back to get the win we continued to build on that through Sunday’s game. The players are gelling nicely as we continue to get a maximum effort.”

Pet of the Week
I’m a kitten! I am under 9 months of age, so my PURRsonality is still being formed. Only time will tell if I will be a couch potato or a party animal. In the meantime, there are some typical kitten behaviours that you can expect from me. I will likely be full of energy as I run around practicing my hunting skills. I can turn anything into a toy, so hide your valuables if you don’t want me practicing on them! I will require patience and gentle training until I learn the rules of your household.

Ms. Clarke has presented her Fun With Insects program in over 150 schools across Ontario. The program included working with microscopes and hands-on displays of insects in mini-environments, preserved insectsthe andThursday models to develop a deeper Submarine cycling - Ditches rose foot after foot following evening rainfall fascination with science. and these young lads wasted no time inventing a new game, “submarine cycling”.

Looking back ... From the Leamington Post October 13, 1976 Two Leamington business people have indicated they will run for Leamington town council in the municipal elections in December. They are Flora Holton and Dennis Tatomir. Mrs. Holton says she is not running with platforms for or against any of the issues but on her past record on other municipal bodies. She and her husband own Dresser’s Drug Store. Mr. Tatomir has been in business in Leamington for 25 years. He has taken a stand on a number of local issues. He says the Leamington Dock is a disgrace and would like to see steps taken to improve the facility to benefit the town. He also disagrees with the town policy on camping at Seacliff Park. He is married with five children. —— The Leamington Flyers scored three second-period goals but it wasn’t enough with the Essex 73s pulling off a 6-4 victory in Great Lakes Junior C action last night in Essex. Bob Clifford had two goals for the Flyers while Don Chittle had a hat trick for the 73s. —— At least five local politicians have replied to the challenge issued by Leamington Mayor Sterling Welch to compete in the walkathon sponsored by the Kinsmen for cystic fibrosis. The losing politicians get pelted by the winners with tomatoes. Those who replied include Delmer Bridgen of Gosfield North, Alderman Wagenberg of Windsor, Kingsville Mayor Helmut Fittler, Mrs. Vera Myers of Rochester Township and Essex South MPP Remo Mancini. The walk will start at Jack Miner Public School and end at the Royal Canadian Legion in Essex. Fittler won the challenge last year. —— Jan Pearson has been crowned ladies club champion at Erie Shores Golf and Country Club for this year, and Joyce Nicol had the best handicap. —— Every classroom at Mill Street Senior Public School is represented at each school council meeting. Those on student council include Scott Jackson, Tony Stokes, Linda Schmidtgall, Ruth Portugal, Linda Jekel, Robert Cherneski, Eddie Agocs, Larry Johnston, Sharon Lowes, Susan Foldesi, Kathy Mangold, Pat Dibbley, Drew Tassey, Rian Van Every, Terry Kozub, Steve Haas, Norman Tober, Terry Mills, April Doan (secretary), Linda Schmidt (president), Steve Impens (vice president), David Fehr and Julie Nykyforuk.
From the Kingsville Reporter October 13, 1976 Kingsville has lost one of its most loyal and devoted citizens — Charles G. Loop. Mr. Loop passed away on Sunday, October 10 at Metropolitan Hospital, Windsor. He was born at Point Pelee in 1886, and in 1887 his parents moved to Kingsville where he resided until entering the Country Village Nursing Home in 1973. In 1950, Mr. Loop received an acclamation for his second consecutive two-year term as Mayor of Kingsville, after serving 20 years on town council. —— An executive meeting of the Kingsville and Gosfield South Chamber of Commerce and a meeting of the Jack Miner Memorial Fund Committee were both held last week to discuss definite plans for a statue of the late Jack Miner in Kingsville. The Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the sculpture of the late Jack Miner, providing the amount of $10,000 is collected prior to the project’s undertaking. To date, about $4,000 has been raised. —— Mary Ann Branch, a Grade 13 student at Kingsville District High School, has been chosen 1976 Migration Festival Queen and will be accompanied by four princesses during the Migration Festival Parade on Saturday, October 23. Mary Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon J. Branch of R.R.2 Kingsville. She has three sisters, Martha, Susan and Cathy, and two brothers, Jim and Steve. The four princesses are Kelly Morel, Terry Chausse, Mary Gilbert and Becky Brando. 20 Years Later From the Wheatley Journal October 16, 1996 A very preliminary discussion regarding the formation of a Harbour Authority for Wheatley was held last week between a cross-section of local fishing industry representatives and Small Craft Harbours officials. —— The October meeting of the Essex/ Kent Canadian Club will be held on Thursday, October 24 at the Portuguese Community Club in Leamington. Guest speaker will be the Honourable Bob Rae, former Premier of Ontario. —— Jean Marie Drummond will be logging many 18-hour sessions in the near future. She has been seconded by the Ministry of Health to rewrite Long Term Care legislation. Mrs. Drummond is currently the administrator of the Leamington Mennonite Home.
