WHEATLEY – Work crews were on site Tuesday to conduct a geophysical survey of the area surrounding the August 26 explosion site. Chatham-Kent General Manager of Engineering and Infrastructure Services Thomas Kelly said the survey will employ ground penetration radar and electromagnetic technology to map the subsurface and provide detailed information on soil features, non-metallic objects and the exact location of any abandoned steel cased wells. As well, gas monitoring has been deployed throughout the site. “The goal of this work is to determine the precise source of the gas emission,” Kelly said. “Once this information is known, next steps will be to determine the appropriate remediation strategy.” Kelly said the work could take two weeks but that timetable could vary depending on what is found as the project proceeds. Wheatley residents and businesses affected by the August 26 explosion are being urged to contact the municipality with concerns and questions as soon as possible. Mayor Darrin Canniff said since the needs of each individual vary, it is important that everyone affected get in touch with the municipality if they want to be included in aid efforts.

The municipality is urging all residents who believe they have insurance related issues to contact their insurer as soon as possible. “Our director of legal services has prepared a letter confirming the evacuation for anyone considering filing a claim,” Shropshire said. Copies are available online or at the Wheatley Resource Centre at 108 Talbot Street. Residents who have not been contacted for housing, food or other support should call 519-351-8573 Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and ask to speak with a Wheatley Crisis Case Manager. Businesses that have not been contacted should call Stuart McFadden, Director of Economic Development, at 519784-3502. Municipal officials met with members of the Wheatley Business Improvement Association Wednesday night to provide initial information on $2-million in initial funding for business recovery announced by the provincial government Saturday, Sept. 25.
Wednesday, October 6, 2021
“We don’t have all of the answers to how the funds will be accessed yet but we wanted to meet with business owners and operators and get their feedback,” Shropshire said. During that meeting it was announced that residential and business customers within the Wheatley evacuation zone are not being charged fees by Chatham-Kent Public Utilities Commission and Entegrus. Customers will receive bills up to the date that their utilities were shut off. Customers with questions can visit www.entegrus.com or contact Entegrus customer service Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at 1-866-804-7325 (Option 2 for Customer Service). It is recommended to have a recent bill available for the call. As work continues on finding the source of the gas, Shropshire said there is no timetable for residents to return to their homes to check on their homes and to retrieve items. “The issue of safety remains our first priority,” he said.
Frustrated residents sound off WHEATLEY — Residents directly affected by the downtown explosion were urged to call into CKLW’s The Dan MacDonald Show on Monday morning and they didn’t hold back. Most callers who joined the popular call-in show expressed their disappointment in the lack of communication from Chatham-Kent in allowing — or not allowing — evacuees into their homes to

retrieve valuablers and necessities. Experts on site banned residents from retrieving those items effective Monday, September 27, but according to callers, nobody was informed of that decision. The frustration stems from not knowing that privilege was going to be discontinued suddenly and the huge loss in property that will occur from the length they’ve been out of their homes.

Fire Prevention Week marked by firefighters
By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — October 3-9 is Fire Prevention Week in Canada and Leamington Fire Services will spend the week traveling throughout the municipality engaging residents to talk about fire safety. This year’s theme is ‘Learn the Sound of Fire Safety’ and focuses on the
noises made by smoke alarms and CO alarms alike. The fire department will be set up from 10 am to 2 pm all week with remaining stops at Home Hardware Leamington on Wednesday, Home Building Centre Leamington on Thursday, Rona Leamington on Friday and Canadian Tire on Saturday.
Leamington Fire Inspector Derrick Clark says the sounds are important and how you react to them is even more important. Clark says the fire department is there to provide service in educating and updating resident on their fire safety equipment. The table has an array of
smoke alarms, CO alarms and fire safety giveaways including plastic fire helmets for the youngsters. Clark says that the alarms have come a long way since they were first introduced. “It’s important to keep up-to-date and within code,” he said. He said building codes have been updated over the years and many people are choosing photo-electric alarms over the traditional ionized alarms. According to Clark, the ionized alarms can go off when the toaster burns your toast, or when the oven starts to smoke or even when you get out of the shower.
This prompts some people to disconnect their alarms, which puts their family in danger. The newer photo-electric alarms look for particles of smoke before going off, which Clark says is a big bonus. “We encourage people to spend a little bit more for and get those photo-electric alarms,” he said. “It’s worth it for as little as $10 more.”’ Clark said the department is also signing people up for their new Leamington Alert System, which collects your contact information and allows them to contact you if there is a fire or other emergency in your neighbourhood.
“If there is a fire or event in your neighborhood and we feel you need to know about it, we can send out an alert to your phone or other device to alert you of it,” he said. The alerts could take the form of phone calls or text messages. If interested in signing up, be sure to visit their tent at various locations this week or call 519326-5761.

Drive-thru micro-chip event successful in Leamington
By Deanna Bertrand LEAMINGTON – The Windsor-Essex County Humane Society held its first Leamington drive-thru microchip clinic Saturday, October 2 in the parking lot at the Leamington Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre on Sherk St. Veterinarian Dr. Kayla Beetham said that the Humane Society wanted
to “increase access to care for people (pet owners) who can’t come into the city.” Melanie Coulter, executive director of the Humane Society, was also on hand and said they expected to see 80 to 100 dogs, cats and rabbits during the three-hour drive-up clinic. Coulter said the microchip, which is very small,
the size of a grain of rice, can be scanned providing information so that pets can be reunited with their owners when lost. The devise is permanent and doesn’t fall off like a tag can, said Coulter. “It is a valuable thing to have.” For more information on microchips or other clinics go to http://www. windsorhumane.org

A day of reflection and remembrance
By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Thursday, September 30 marked the first official Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, created to honour the lost children and survivors of residential schools, along with their families and communities. It is Canada’s newest federal statutory holiday, made through legislative amendments in June of this year. For the Caldwell First Nation, the day was a time to come together and honour those victims and their families and reflect on what the future holds. Carrie Ann Peters, who is the Culture and Language Coordinator for Caldwell First Nation, put together Taking Steps To Honour and Remember on September 30. The event, which began at the Caldwell First Nation headquarters on Orange Street, involved a walk — complete with horseback participants — finished off with a community barbecue at Northwest Beach inside Point Pelee National Park. At the barbecue, Caldwell members, friends and supporters gathered and enjoyed a sunny day on the beaches of their ancestral land. They had a sacred fire where they could offer tobacco and reflect on the Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Carrie Ann Peters was pleased with the turnout, which was well over 200 people for the walk. “People came out of their homes as we walked by,” she said. “It was nice to see all the support.” The group marched from Dieppe Park all the way to Westmoreland Street and back.
“We were so pleased, seeing the high school kids stop to honour us,” said Carrie Ann. Recently re-elected Caldwell Chief Mary Duckworth was equally impressed with the community support. “The response has been wonderful today,” said Duckworth. “We
were impressed with the amount of people that showed up.” The Caldwell First Nation wrapped up the weekend with a Sisters in Spirit vigil on Monday, October 4 at the headquarters. They were there to reflect and remember missing Indigenous women.

opinion ~ expression ~ Okay....Blue Jays....Let’s.Play.Hockey.
Well, I had my hopes up to watch some serious playoff baseball this fall
with the Blue Jays knocking on the door of the wild card spot for the past two weeks or so. All they needed Sunday was a win, coupled with a loss for either the Yankees or Red Sox. That would put them at least into a sudden death game to see who advances. The Jays did their part, manhandling Baltimore again and then waiting for the end of the Boston-Washington and Tampa-New York games. Both of those games went into the ninth inning tied and you’d think that at least one of them would turn out the Blue Jays way but they didn’t. In fact, the Washington Nationals were dominating the Red Sox 5-1 and
appeared ready to spoil the Fenway party. But the Bo-Sox had other plans. When the diamond dust settled, both the Yankees and Sox won leaving the Blue Jays on the outside looking in. Along the way, the Jays set records in a memorable season. They set the franchise record for most home runs in a season. The league record for most home runs in a season was set by second baseman Marcus Semien , who blasted 45 home runs. Lourde Gurriel also set the franchise record for most grand slams in a season with four. Seven players hit more than 20 home runs, including Vladimir Guerrero Junior, who blasted 48 to lead the team and tie for the American League home run title.
Never buy a used car at night! THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk Ron Yorston grew up in Toronto: “Buying a car at night is never a good idea, but when you’re 17 in 1958 and have the chance to buy a hot looking 1949 Meteor two-door for $50, you throw caution to the wind. The next morning, my dream car was an oil-burning rust bucket. But what’s a little rust and smoke?” Ron’s girlfriend lived several miles from where he lived. His Meteor consumed a quart of oil going each way. Toronto had a bylaw against “making excessive smoke,” and he had already been ticketed once. One night while driving from his girlfriend’s place, he noticed a cruiser behind him. “I turned onto a side
street, pulled into a parking lot, and laid down in the front seat, thinking I had lost the cop. Seconds later, the officer’s flash light shone into my car. He had only to follow the trail of smoke and I got my second ticket. “Somehow a hot coil had come into my possession and I could hardly wait to install it. I had already painted some pretty cool flames over the hood and front fenders and I thought I could add more smoke to the fire, this time with my tires. I got the coil in, and for about
two blocks, I was burning rubber and feeling like James Dean. Then all of a sudden, I had no motor.” Someone forgot to tell Ron you have to install hot ignition wires, hot spark plugs, and a hot distributor before using a hot coil. “I fried all those ignition parts and then some, but, you know, it was worth it to have smelled that burning rubber for two whole blocks. I can’t recall what became of my Meteor, but it was smokin’ good fun while it lasted.” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.

Letter to the Editor
Writer says that wearing a mask is not tyranny Dear Editor: For many months now I have repeatedly heard the words “Gestapo”, “Communist”, “freedom”, “Fascist” and “Nazi” used loosely and interchangeably, even within the same sentence. I am embarrassed that people dare to equate present-day pandemic restrictions to what innumerable innocent victims of the aforementioned regimes endured. Attempting to make feeble similarities by spewing such rhetoric minimizes the experiences of millions and thoroughly disgusts and saddens me. Comparisons to the Yellow Star are horrifying, and an insult to the thriving Jewish population around the world. Countless immigrants from war-torn Europe arrived in the Windsor-Essex area in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s, successfully establishing themselves in farming, business, construction, trades and education, to name but a few. Many came from Italy, where they had suffered terribly under Mussolini. There were also numerous Ger-
man speaking migrants from Ukraine, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Romania and Poland, where they had lived for generations. Leaving everything behind, they had fled for their lives. Many ended up in Germany from where they were then able to depart for North America as well as other countries. I was among them. As the daughter of war escapees, and survivors, I have personally heard hundreds of eye witness accounts of the terror of the above regimes. The one that haunts me the most is that of my grandfather, arrested in the middle of the night and taken to prison. He was then walked out onto a frozen lake where he met his demise. The collective ignorance of people drawing modern day parallels to the rule of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini never ceases to amaze me. Wearing a mask is not tyranny. Just put it on. – Louise Wiens (Regehr) Leamington

Kingsville holding Santa Claus Parade Nov. 20 KINGSVILLE — The Town of Kingsville and Fantasy of Lights Committee has announced that this year’s Santa Claus parade will take place in downtown Kingsville on Saturday, November 20. The announcement came on the heels of Windsor Parade Corporation’s weekend announcement that they were not putting on a parade this year. “As the Chair of the Kingsville Fantasy of Lights Committee, I was disheartened to learn about the decision of the Windsor Parade Corporation on social media,” said Councillor Tony Gaffan.
“However, I believe the strength of the Kingsville community as a whole is far stronger. As a community, we will unite to create a parade experience that is distinctly us and uniquely Kingsville.” The theme this year is “What Does Christmas Mean to Me”. The town is asking children of all ages to hold the date of November 20. The town is asking for volunteers, families, service groups, and
businesses to consider how they can contribute to the parade. A participant’s form can be found on the town website at Kingsville.ca. “As a close-knit community, we are all excited to celebrate the traditions that the Fantasy of Lights has brought to Kingsville. I want to acknowledge the commitment and dedication of the Festival Committee, volunteers and staff throughout the year to help keep the lights shining,” said Mayor Nelson Santos. “We look forward to seeing Santa join our community parade and help us flick the switch on November 20th.” If you have any questions or want to be involved, you can email specialevents@kingsville.ca.

Leamington holding drive-thru parade again November 27 LEAMINGTON– For the second year in a row, Santa Claus Parade in Leamington will be heading back to Point Pelee National Park. “The Leamington District Chamber of Commerce again looks forward to bringing the annual Santa Claus Parade to the community,” said Chad Robinson, LDCC Christmas Parade Chair. “Every year the community comes out in full force the night of the parade and from the comments coming in, this tradition will continue, of course, with a few COVID tweaks. We are so grateful for the partnership with Parks Canada and Point Pelee National Park,” The drive-thru event will be held in Point Pelee National Park on Nov. 27 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Spectators can view the floats, mascots, clowns, elves, Mrs. Claus and Santa himself from their vehicle. The floats will be stationary and the spectators will drive by, enjoying the lit-up entries as well as the beauty of Canada’s most southern National Park. “Point Pelee is delighted to be able to show-
case their park, all while helping the community celebrate the Santa Claus Parade,” said Robinson. There is no cost to enter the park, but the Chamber strongly encourages attendees to bring a donation for the food bank and/or a toy for Toys for Tots, which will be collected just before seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus. Children can bring their Santa letter to put in the mailbox and letters with return addresses will get a reply. Families, clubs, organizations and businesses can enter a float ahead of time, and people are allowed on the float if they are following COVID-19 protocols by physical distancing and wearing a mask. Use your imagination! You can also park one car next to the float and wave from inside. The Chamber asks for confirmation of your float ahead of time as parade participants will be assigned spots by the size of the entries. “Our plans, like so many of yours, have changed, and we welcome your participation. We are thrilled to bring this drive-thru experience and chance to see the

magic of Santa in this new format,” said Wendy Parsons, General Manager of the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce. “Point Pelee National Park came on board last year and due to the ongoing restrictions, we have made a few adjustments and we are excited to be back in the park again this year. It’s all about the kids!” Parsons explained that the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce will continue with the parade, unless directed otherwise health officials. “We will brainstorm through challenges and seek creative ways to ensure the event will be safe and enjoyable,” she said. “We could be told we have to cancel at a moment’s notice, so we must plan around those parameters. We know our entrants must rethink what they are doing this year, and we also know those who attend will appreciate the re-imagined entries. We are so excited to see how this will come to fruition.” For more information or to register your float, call Wendy at 519-3262721 or email info@leamingtonchamber.com.

LEAMINGTON — While Leamington Councillor Tim Wilkinson’s idea of allowing golf carts on municipal roadways was shot down last month, his suggestion has spawned a new idea for council to consider.

one of the main concerns about the previous golf cart idea. They LSVs are designed to be driven in areas where the speed limit is 50 kph or less, but will max out at 40 kph. “I hope that council in the near future considers eco-friendly alternative transportation,” said Wilkinson. He said that communi-
ties such as Grand Bend and Lambton Shores are already employing them and asked if Mayor Hilda MacDonald could reach out to her counterpart in those areas to get a comparison. The vehicles typically cost anywhere between $15K-$25K and can carry a wide range of passengers. The LSVs may come in handy during large events such as Hogs for Hospice, concert nights or festivals near the waterfront.

Disaster fund delivers $80,000 to evacuees
WHEATLEY — On September 27, the Wheatley Disaster Relief Fund was able to give out cheques totalling $80,000 to residents directly affected by the August 26 explosion. Lauren Anderson announced on Facebook that they were aiming for a $60,000 total, but ended up releasing $80,000 to needy families. Families in need are required to fill out the proper forms so that they can be qualified by those in charge. Elsewhere, a t-shirt drive has raised $1,750 toward the Relief Fund. Julia Ottley, who now lives over three hours away, began her quest six weeks ago to help in any way she could. She was quickly able to surpass her goal of selling 100 shirts.

Sleeping Out raises $159,410 for The Bridge
Southpoint Sun - 11
By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The third annual Sleeping Out at The Bridge fundraiser was held on Friday, October 1 with options to sleep on The Bridge site or to sleep at several satellite sites across the region. The fundraiser had garnered $159,410.10 in donations by press time this week, with proceeds going toward supporting critical programs at The Bridge Youth Resource Centre. Inside at Bridge Head-
quarters, emcee Joe Oswald painted a picture for those watching remotely on YouTube, of how the community comes together time and time again to help those in need. “The organizations and business that come together to help this cause are what makes this event so successful,” he said. “We’re raising money, but also raising awareness.” The event inside The Bridge offered live entertainment as well, which was livestreamed so that participants and donors
could tune in. The live band was led by singer/songwriter Merissa Gleason, a twoyear breast cancer survivor from Kingsville, who writes poignant songs about her journey. The Bridge Executive Director Krista Rempel took to the road to visit the satellite locations and report in via the live feed. The Guardians of the Children Motorcycle Club also participated by visiting satellite locations on their motorcycles. The top team in fund-
raising went to UE Enclosures (Corporate), who raised $44,768, while top donors were Essex Weld Solutions and 1859232
Ontario Ltd, who each donated $20,000. Top individual fundraiser was G. Wiens, who raised $10,736.25. Top individ-
ual fundraiser who was eligible for an award was Karen Vary who raised $4,254.50.

Looking back at 1989 From the Wheatley Journal October 4 , 1989 Wheatley Area Public School recently received two generous donations form the Wheatley Lions Club in the form of a new scoreboard for the gym and a large set of swings for the playground. Vice-Principal Bob Myers met with Lions Club representatives Larry Chopchik, Dan Dalgleish and Don Willan to inspect the new arrivals. The value of the donations sits at about $4,500. —— Kent County is still paying a bounty for foxes of $15. This bounty will be paid to those engaged in the trapping of foxes who are holders of a license to hunt or trap fur bearing animals. Citizens are urged to have their pets vaccinated against rabies. The program is being held to help curb the recent rise of rabies in the county over recent months. —— The Omstead Midgets put their season into high gear with a pair of games this weekend. In a shortened exhibition game against Essex, the locals tied 4-4. Goals by Andy Hancock, Jeff Ruiter, Jon Richmond and Greg Price enabled Wheatley to escape with the tie. Later in the weekend they played their first league game, edging Kingsville 4-3. Jason Zittlau had two goals in a 10-second pan in the third period to tie the game and Price scored on a breakaway with 6:32 left in the third for the winning goal. Steve Clements opened the scoring for Wheatley in period one. Kirt Pulley kept his mates in the game with some stellar work between the pipes. From the Leamington Post October 3, 1989 Mayor Bruce Crozier acknowledged Thursday that he would not like to see what many consider a downtown landmark torn down. The mayor said he has had very preliminary talks with federal officials about the former federal building on Talbot Street West, beside the tomato. Leamington council has indicated its not interested in owning the building and is in agreement with the federal public works that, if necessary, it would sever the western end of the property to the town for use by the tourist booth. A major drawback to selling the building is its inaccessibility. —— Leamington Council is in a quandary as to the future of Cherry Lane. A council committee learned that two, maybe more, area residents are opposed to any industrial lots with access onto the road. The problem arose two weeks ago when industrial lot owners were seeking access to Cherry Lane. Resident Doug Jessop said he saw the industrial park site plan when he purchased his home 14 months ago, but there was no mention of access to Cherry Lane. —— Ardell McIntyre has been named Leamington Police Chief after the recent resignation of Bruce Cowan.

Jerry Ingratta and Mike Chambers led the Flyers with two goals each. Singles went to Jim Hodgson, Greg Enns and Jamie DiNiro. Jason McKee, Mark Wuerch, Jason Leili, Shawn Mallen and Jeff Gates scored the Comets goals. From The Kingsville Reporter October 3, 1989

St. Clair enrolment hits 14,000 WINDSOR – St. Clair College is holding steady with its Fall 2021 enrolment numbers increasing by 149 students from 2020. A total of 14,034 fulltime students are enrolled at all three campuses and the Ace Acumen campuses in the Greater Toronto Area. That is a slight increase of about one percent over last year’s fall figures. There were 7,017 domestic students and 3,993 international students enrolled at campuses in Windsor and Chatham. Another 3,024 students were enrolled at the Toronto region Ace Acumen Academy campuses. International students who were unable to travel to Canada for their studies have been allowed to remain in their home countries to pursue
Hit and run injures teen on scooter LEAMINGTON — Members from the Leamington Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue to investigate a fail to remain collision involving a teen on a scooter that occurred on Tuesday, September 28. On that day at approximately 12:05 p.m., Leamington OPP and Essex Windsor EMS responded to a fail to remain motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Erie Street South and Mill Street East in Leamington. As a result of the collision, a 13-year-old youth was transported to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Officers have since located the involved pickup truck and have identified the driver. The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police regarding this incident to contact the Leamington OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.catchcrooks.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
their studies online. All other programs are being offered in person. College President Patti France said she is relieved the pandemic has not adversely affected the pursuit of post-secondary education for thousands of students at St. Clair College. “In the current environment, I am happy that we were able to maintain the status quo,” France said. “I am proud of the accomplishments we have made to keep our campus community safe while providing a full, in-person education experience for a majority of students.” The figures are based on
a summary of registration statistics from Day 10 of the Fall semester, a point in time when students can no longer withdraw from the college and receive a refund of tuition fees. There was a slight increase in the number of students attending the downtown campus, but the main campus in Windsor and the Chatham campus saw small decreases. France said based on current vaccination rates, the expectation by mid-October is that approximately 94 percent of the school’s population – staff and students – will be fully vaccinated.

Vipers spoil Flyers home opener
By C. Scott Holland For the first time in two years, the Leamington Jr. B Flyers played a home opener and had a crowd of 265 local fans watching. The youthful Flyers — many of whom were suiting up for regular season action at home — appeared to get better as the contest went on but lost 3-1 to the LaSalle Vipers. Despite the low score, both teams displayed some heavy bodychecking throughout the contest, but for the Flyers, a two-minute defensive lapse around the 13-minute mark of the opening frame allowed the visiting Vipers to tab all the goals they would need for the victory. In first 40 minutes Thursday, the Vipers’ offense pounded shot after shot at Flyers’ starter Ryan Polidori. The Vipers went ahead at 13:16 when Nic Pavia slipped the puck past Polidori on a scramble play. A minute later, Vipers’ forward Kyle Walker was awarded a penalty shot but Polidori shut the door. The Vipers weren’t done with their sustained attack. A mere 20 seconds later, Viper Brody Gillis unleashed a shot from the left lane that appeared to come on a screen play and the puck sailed high over Polidori’s outstretched glove and into the net. That unexpected tally was followed by the Vipers’ third marker 18 seconds later when Darby Drouillard whisked the puck into the Flyers’ net. At that juncture, Flyers’ head coach Dale Mitchell called a time-out to help settle the team. Down 3-0, the Flyers resumed play by bodychecking the Vipers more closely. Neither team scored in the second, although each side had one powerplay opportunity. The tension between the two combatants increased and elevated in the third stanza. The Flyers controlled the puck and play much better in the third, outshooting the Vipers 14-5. Leamington got the break they were looking for at 3:31 when Koen Taves and Darby Lemieux hooked passes to Andrew Uturo, who slammed a rising shot past Viper goalie Matthew Tovell. The Flyers had a power play chance near the period’s midway point but could not draw closer. During the final minute of play, the Flyers lifted Polidori for an extra attacker but the Vipers held off any damage and took the 3-1 win. Head coach Dale Mitchell wasn’t at the game but watched it on Hockey TV. “We came out slow and were not ready for the puck drop. It’s tough when you are down 3-0 after the first, he said. “We were lucky it wasn’t any worse, yet the

team responded and played better in the second and third. We need a full 60-minute effort to have success.” Despite the loss at home, the team rebounded on Saturday night when they visited the Strathroy Rockets and built a 4-0 lead before surrendering a power play goal which allowed Strathroy to break Boe Piroski’s shutout bid. The Flyers’ victory came courtesy of the su-
perb marksmanship of rookie Gavin Grundner, who tabbed his first Jr. B goal and his first hattrick. Andrew Uturo opened the scoring at 6:23 of the first and Grundner drilled two shots past Strathroy goalie Matthew Brazeau at 15:25 and 18:35 of the second. Grundner unleashed a bullet at 4:23 of the third which froze Brazeau and made it a 4-0 contest. At 16:33, Wyatt O’Neil was penalized for trip-

Doja Cat - 2 years old. Hiya! My name is Doja cat. I am a vocal and loving young lady who is super excited to find her furever home. I am always happy to meet new people especially when I get to be showered in all of their unconditional love. I love to be pet all over and adore having my chin scratched for me.. bonus points if you have long nails! I like to explore my surroundings and am quite curious about the great big world around me. I like to talk and share my opinion loud and proud and sometime I use my voice to ask for more attention too. I love to play with toys after a long day of exploration and I get really into my fake toy mouse.

Talbot Trail Seniors winding down golf season
By Bob McLean On Tuesday, September 28 there were 66 seniors league participants who tackled the challenging layout at the Talbot Trail Golf Course. The somewhat cool morning proved to be a deterrent to low scores as shots often ended up short of their expected destination. The closest to the pin was won by Fred Michano’s miraculous shot to within two feet of #9 pin. Dave Dent drained a beauty on #2 to win the long putt. Seven birdies were achieved by the following players: #1 Shannon, #5 Dave LaBonte, #6 BW, #7 Tim Stevenson, #8 Carl Robinson, #9 Fred Michano and Rick Thompson. In the youth group, Arkey led the way with his excellent 41. Tim Stevenson and Shannon Wiper were one shot back with their own excellent 42s. Both Joe Drummond and Fred Michano played solidly to score commendable results of 44 and 45 respectively. Others who shot praiseworthy scores under 50 were Nasher, Fuzzy, Gerry and Len. Satisfying results went to Ed Fraser, Art Regehr and Dan Tymec. In the 86y+ Gold division, Carl Robinson played masterfully to achieve a 42. Dave La Bonte continued his inspiring play by shooting a terrific 44. Murray Cascadden, Gerry Becigneul and Erle Nash earned satisfying results.
In the 86y+ Silver grouping, Bob Freure wasn’t deterred by the weather as he fired a masterful 44. Tom Hyatt merited a solid nifty 50. Walter Balsam scored a commendable 51. Steady Ed Woelk produced a very praiseworthy 53, and long hitting Bill Edwards had a noteworthy 56. In the 80-85 year grouping, Ron McCracken led the way with his superb 47. Commendable scores of 48 were produced by Eugene and Tom Sasso. Both Henry Hildebrandt and Joe Vrtel received very praiseworthy nifty 50 results. Noteworthy scores were also merited by Neil Adamson, Andy Orsini, Terry Bee, Conrad Babkirk, Ken Womack and Gus Brown. In the 70-79 year division, both Pearcie and Dutchy achieved excellent 40s. Chopper was a mere one shot back with his terrific 41. Rick shot a brilliant 42. Long hitter Bill Ward earned a wellplayed 44. Other players with scores under 50: Bummy, Ray la Pierre, Dave Dent, Paul Harrison, Al Matthews, Al Zanuttini and OV. Five players received noteworthy nifty 50 scores: Larry, Doug, Mac, Richard and Nick. Ian Quirk and Gary Wilson achieved commendable 51s. Richard Humber and Jerry Paine scored satisfying 52 and 53 results respectively. Keep swinging and have fun!

Kites fly high over soccer fields LEAMINGTON – Nearly two dozen professional kiters from Canada and the United States displayed nearly 50 different large kites throughout the weekend at the fourth annual Southpoint International Klite (kites and lights) Festival. The event took place at the Leamington soccer fields October 1-2. The festival is a family and community celebration of kites, ‘lites’ and art. According to festival organizer George Paisiovich, the festival originated in Wheatley but moved to Leamington its second year as the soccer fields provide
54 acres of unobstructed fly zone. “We wanted to create a safe environment for families to play together as a community,” he said. Youngsters received free bubbles to add to the fun as they walked around the grounds and viewed the kites. The festival ran Friday night and Saturday afternoon, with Friday night’s event lighting up the skyline. Unfortunately, festivities on Saturday night and all of Sunday were cancelled due to the weather.

As the fall season begins, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it is a historical time of year to reflect on all that we can be thankful for. As we slowly move to more traditional-style celebrations, it is also a good time to reflect on how as a country we are fortunate to have access to safe, fresh, and nutritious food. This is something that many Canadians might have grown to take for granted. An ever-increasing number of Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Farmers grow fresh local vegetables all year round …even in Canada’s harsh winter climates. As the days become shorter, many vegetable greenhouses utilize lights in the fall and winter months to mimic the longer days of summer. In the farming sector, this technology is called supplemental lighting. It allows plants the opportunity to continue to thrive, while also extending the growing season throughout the winter months. This affords Canadians a local and secure food system with ever-increasing volumes of fresh Ontario-grown produce on grocery shelves even in the cold winter months. In the past, 52-
week supplies on the supermarket shelves required produce to be trucked up to Canada from countries and places much further away. From May through September, most farms do not need to utilize any supplemental lighting, but the orange glow from the farms during the winter months is used to mimic the light from the sun, allowing the plants to remain healthy and strong as the days grow shorter. Without the use of these technological innovations, the plants within the greenhouse would not thrive and produce the fresh produce at a reasonable cost that consumers have come to expect. According to the national light resource calendar; as the most southern region of the country, Leamington and the surrounding area have some of the longest summer days in Canada. This ensures that supplemental lighting is used as little as possible and as such improves overall efficiency. Other technologies have also been developed to contain the light, via black-out curtains. This again improves efficiency and limits the amount of

light that escapes as well. Your local Greenhouse growers are looking forward to soon being able to contain much of the light which currently escapes into the sky. The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers(OGVG), continues to work together with our local partners to ensure that Canadians have access to fresh vegetables and fruits. At the same time, we need to find a balance in utilizing lighting technology such that we can continue to grow fresh produce year-round, while also committing to being good neighbors in the communities that we live in and serve.

Eggplant Did you know? Eggplants are another vegetable that can be grown in greenhouse farms. Although Ontario’s greenhouse vegetable growers are well known for their tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, many grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. In the future expect to see even more local vegetables available all throughout the year thanks to innovations in Ontario’s greenhouse farms!
From your Ontario Greenhouse Growers have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Look to OGVG and our member farm sites for recipe inspiration for all your holiday needs.
