LEAMINGTON 519.322.0032 7 DAYS A WEEK • 11AM-9PM DINE IN OR TAKE OUT By Mark Ribble It’s not often that you can get together with classmates from 50 years ago, but a group of for mer Leamington District Secondary School (LDSS) grads are holding a 50year reunion of the 1972 class (Grades 12 and 13) on the weekend of Oc tober 14-15-16. They are also asking the 1971 and 1973 grads to join in their celebration.NickLutsch, who is spearheading the effort along with a dedicated group of former class mates, says the most im portant — and hardest — thing is getting the word out so nobody is missed. “The hardest thing is finding people,” he said. “We used to be able to use the phone book, but now everyone has cell phones.” The same group held a 45th reunion in 2017 and now that pandemic issues have eased a bit, they feel it’s time to get the group together again — and thenThesome.weekend will kick off with a casual meet and greet in the atrium at the new LDSS, featuring ap petizers from the current LDSS culinary students mentored by Joe Youssef, a former student himself. That event will be fol lowed by an after-party at Jose’s Bar and Grill and then Saturday morn ing will begin with a pickleball tournament at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Complex, fol lowed by a golf tourna ment at Kingsville Golf and Country Club and an afternoon picnic at Sea cliff Park. The fun doesn’t stop there, as there will be a reunion dinner Saturday evening at the Roma Club Pavilion, with the week end wrapping up Sunday morning with breakfast at Lakeside Bakery. The weekend promises to be fun and entertaining with a large dose of nos talgia thrown in. Journalist Larry Corn ies, a 1972 graduate, wrote a piece for the Lon don Free Press after the 2017 reunion. “It took most of us a few seconds to identify each other — even with the help of name tags bear ing our likenesses from our ’72 school yearbook. But after those uncertain moments, recognition set in, first as a flicker, then a flame, then a full-on bon fire — and we laughed about why we hadn’t known each other at first glance,” he wrote. “And amid all the rev erie was the sobering real ization that next time — if there is a next time — our numbers will almost cer tainly be fewer,” he add ed.If Nick Lutsch has any thing to do with it, those numbers will be greater — and yes, Larry — there is a next time. If you were a Grade 12 or 13 student at LDSS in 1971, ’72 or ‘73, Nick Lutsch would like to hear from you.

Firefighters and former firefighters work together to push the new Engine 144 into its bay at the Leamington fire hall. SUN photo
Fire Ser vice held an open house at the fire hall on Tuesday, August 30 to celebrate 150 years in Leamington and usher in their new fire truck — Engine 144. Dozens of residents came out for the open house to see memorabil ia displays, meet with Sparky the Fire Dog, greet the firefighters and tour the fire hall. Many lucky community mem bers also got to go inside the fire trucks and see the equipment up close and personal.Manyformer firefight ers attended and shared in the camaraderie en joyed by the current fire squad members as they reminisced about simpler times.The day culminated with a push-in ceremony for the brand-new En gine 144, where all the firefighters — past and present — joined forces to push the engine up the driveway into the hall. According to Fire Chief Andrew Baird, that’s a tradition in the firefight ing“Thefield.fire truck push-in ceremony is a time-hon oured tradition in the fire service,” he said. “Celebrating the arrival of a new unit has been a source of pride for fire de partments across North America for over a centu ry. This is a new tradition for the Leamington Fire Service. Pride and owner ship.”Early hand-drawn fire engines, ladder wagons, hose carts, and other ap paratus of the 17th cen tury had to be pushed back into the station by hand after every call. The horse-drawn steam engines that followed in the 18th century could be backed up. Howev er, having to control the horses made it difficult to align the engine’s steam connections with the sta tion’s steam connections. For this reason, the hors es were typically discon nected and the engine was again pushed back into the station by hand. When the first motor ized fire engine was put into service in the early 19th century, firefighters continued to honour the push-in tradition, which grew to mark each new purchase of fire appara tus. Fire engines were cer emoniously pushed back into the station in a grand display of homage and fire service unity. As part of the open house, the public was al lowed to get an up-close look at Engine 144 and the other Leamington trucks.“Not only does this con nect the community with the important work of the fire service, it sparks interest in serving for the future generation of fire fighters,” added Baird. The current Leaming ton department is com prised of six full-time staff, which includes the chief, deputy chief, assis tant deputy chief, two fire inspectors and adminis tration.The overall squad is made up of 28 firefighters, divided into four squads. The fire hall is manned by an officer, driver and two firefighters seven days a week from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The new engine joins the Rescue 142, Tower 143 and Ladder 145 in service to the Enginecommunity.144isa Pierce MaxiSaber with a 390 hp Cummins engine.

Ewan Woodsit, a Polish immigrant, came to Essex County to farm over 100 years ago. With his sis ter and small family left in Poland, Ewan sent for his wife Parasha and son Ely. They all faced a new country, new way of life, 1948 GMC bought new in Leamington new language, and new surname since many im migrants had their names changed at the border. They settled on Con cession B marshlands growing onions, corn and soybeans. Ewan bought his brand new 1948 GMC one-ton pickup from Ray Young, which served well for farming duties and also became the fam ily vehicle. In 1950, need ing another vehicle, they purchased a used threeton 1950 Ford 150. Years later, the family had greenhouses and a peach orchard on Talbot West, a small farm in Sta

Online magazine BestLife did an article a couple years ago that lists all of the new slang words or phrases for each year from 1940-2020. My 1961 word was “dishy”, which was slang for a good looking person. Well, I’ll be a monkey’s un cle! How’d I get that one? That article brought back some memories but again, nothing compares to those old turn-of-the-last-century say ings.Anyway, summer is over and we are blowing this pop sicle stand this week, heading north for a little chillaxing and will catch you on the rebound.

As did “submarine races” and “backseat bingo”, which both pretty much meant the same thing, if you catch my drift.While these are all great and often land right in my wheel house, they don’t hold a can dle to (oops, another one) those sayings of our parents and grandparents.

OLDTHE DETECTIVECAR Bill Sherk ples, and Eugene’s farm on Talbot East still using the two trucks purchased yearsWhenbefore.grandsons Eu gene and William grew up and continued with the family farming, both trucks were used and shared among grandfa ther, father and brothers. Ewan died in 1963 leaving behind his wife, son, grandsons and Marena:great-granddaughtera“Iremember riding in those trucks like everyday vehicles with tiny back window, huge stick shift, and dash board with large buttons. Until I saw an episode of the Waltons driving a similar vehicle did I real ize we had some pretty oldBothtrucks.”trucks were sold in the late 1980s, with Eugene remembering the ’48 GMC purchased by a collector.
So I briefly considered writ ing about money this week in hopes that someone would drop off an envelope teeming with 100-dollar bills, but I fig ured I’d better not look a gift horse in the mouth. So that particular saying brings me to this week’s sub ject.A few years ago, I wrote about some of the old sayings that I grew up around and one of my mother’s most used phrases was “Jesus crept and MosesNonewept.”ofmy co-workers had ever heard that phrase and it sent them googling to see if they could find any reference online. They managed to find more than a few references to that old saying and I guess I felt somewhat vindicated that it wasn’t one of those things that my mother just made up. She had a tendency to make up words and phrases on the spot and we all made light of that whenever we got a chance. But those sayings of yester year still resonate with me in many situations. Of course, there is “don’t throw the baby out with the bathAndwater.”whocan forget “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”?Growing up in a rural fam ily well versed in these clas sic sayings, I sometimes catch myself wanting to blurt one of them out but then often re member I’m in the company of someone who may not even understand it. I do often use “I’ll be there with bells on”, and it means just what it says: “I accept your invitation with excitement.” Apparently it originated in the early 1900s in the United States. The British say “I’ll be there with knobs on.” Those old phrases are slowly going away, I’m afraid. Replaced with such gems as “keeping it 100”, “eyebrows on fleek”, and YOLO (you only love once), the old sayings are going the way of the dodo bird (which just happens to be an other old phrase). Such things pop up in the English language with each passingWhethergeneration.theystick or not is up to the next generation. My generation (boomers) have had some really great ones passed down to us and have also come up with some of our own. Stuff like “catch you on the flipside”, “keep on truckin’”, “can you dig it” and the un forgettable “sit on it” (brought to us by Happy Days) were all introduced by the ingBarbarino,voltagetWhoboomers.canforJohnTraasVinnysay“upyournose

From the first beat, the S’aints captivat ed the audience and when the last note was played, the crowd cheered for more, prompting a twosong encore that finished with Santa Claus is Com ing to FromTown.Jody Raffoul’s electric vocals on Band On The Run to Kelly Howell’s powerful performance on Son of A Preacher Man, the band had the crowd on its feet for most of the evening. Windsor native Burrows — who is the drummer for The Tea Party — kept the songs driving with his spot-on percussion. Even Peter Raffoul came back out and joined his father and guitarist Wes Buckley for a moving ren dition of John Lennon’s Imagine, a song that lit up the Seacliff hill with cell phones and lighters. Burrows, Raffoul and Howell were joined by seven other musicians in cluding Buckley, Marty Bak, James O’Neil, Kelly ‘Mr. Chill’ Hoppe, David Cyrenne, and sister duo Liz Robinson and Stepha nie Baker. Labour Day weekend was chosen for a reason — and that was to honour all labourers as Jody Raffoul expressed his apprecia tion to the local migrant

The S’aints promised to ‘rock the hill’ and they certainly did that and then some, as the first of what is hoped to be annual free Labour Day weekend con certs hit the Sunset Am phitheatre stage at Seacliff ParkTheSaturday.10-member super band fronted by Leam ington’s own Jody Raffoul delighted the crowd of over 3,000 as the sun set on Lake Erie and a swift breeze kept the heat at bay. But before The S’aints hit the stage, Leaming ton’s own Peter Raffoul wowed the audience with some of his original songs, showing why he is a sing er/songwriter to keep an eye on.

Why? Because that’s the same Roger Cook who, with Greenaway, had written an incredible number of hit songs since the mid-’60s to the pres ent then that included ‘You’ve Got Your Trou bles’ and ‘Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again’, both for the For tunes, ‘Green Grass’ for Gary Lewis & the Play boys, ‘My Baby Loves Lovin’ for White Plains, and ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony)’ for the Hill side Singers, which later also became a song used for a world-wide Co ca-Cola commercial. I was star-struck stand ing next to this talented and world-wide known songwriter from England. Yet, he was a nice gentle man and I told him how I had written several pages of poems myself in the last year or so and hoped to find a songwrit er someday who could write the music for these lyrics. He wished me luck and said I could always give them to Barry and he’d send them on to him. They then drove off in their golf cart to the first tee while I was still sort of stunned for the next couple of minutes. Heck, I didn’t even get his auto graph!Thereason Cook was in Toronto at that time was because he had a song called ‘We Got a Dream’ that he and Greenaway wrote for Ocean, a Cana dian group, that was be ing played then on Chum Radio.The two Rogers have had an incredible career of co-writing many other hits including ‘Long Cool Woman in A Black Dress’ for The Hollies, ‘Years from Now’ for Dr. Hook, ‘I Believe in You’ for Don Williams, ‘Talking in Your Sleep’ for Crystal Gayle, and ‘I Just Want to Dance with You’ for John Prine and later, in 1998, done by George Strait. The next time I saw Bar ry Authors, he gave me an address in England and said I could send all my lyrics to Roger there. So, after sporadically writing some more lyrics over the next six years, in the fall of 1977 I finally got up my nerve and mailed all that paperwork off to Roger in England. But nothing ever came back to me as far as a However,reply. going over other information I could find on Roger Cook this week, I noticed he perma nently moved to the Unit ed States in 1975 and still lives in Nashville. Oh well. C’est la vie. But, on the bright side, in 1997, Roger became the first and only British songwriter to enter the Nashville Songwriters Hall of BravoFame.tohim!
Chance to get lyrics noticed went unanswered RADIOFLASHBACK Chuckwith Reynolds
As a teenager and young man growing up in Richmond Hill and Thornhill, I spent 12 summers and part-time springs and falls working at the Richmond Hill Golf & Country Club in the ProOverShop.those years, while working and playing a lot of golf there, I also had the opportunity to occasion ally play with Toronto celebrities like Jim Dorey, Colin Kerr (without Ra jah his mynah bird) and concert promoter Michael Cohl – all of whom were members at the same golf club.But the one I didn’t golf with but met in August of 1971 was my first of meet ing someone special in the music business. One of our members, Barry Authors, had a guest that afternoon and he intro duced him to me as Roger Cook and noted he was visiting here from En gland. As I’d never seen a photo of him, I half-jok ingly asked him if he was the same Roger Cook who writes with Roger Green away. He said “Yes,” and I almost fell over!
Ontario drivers will notice a new ad dition to the flashing lights on school buses this week as the province rolls out its new amber light initiative. Ontario school buses are now equipped with an updated lighting sys tem designed to alert other drivers that the bus is about to make a stop. The new two-tiered lighting system took effect locally with the start of school onTheTuesday.amber lights are installed along the top of the bus above the flashing red lights.When you see a bus with its amber lights activated, it means the bus is slowing to make a stop and you must prepare to slow down and stop as well.

Once the bus makes its stop to pick up or drop off students, the usual red flash ing lights and side stop sign will activate and drivers in both directions must stop. The only exception is when the road has a median strip and only the vehicles behind the bus must stop. Vehicles must stop at least 20 metres from the bus. A small number of buses manufac tured prior to 2005 will continue to use the red flashing system so please be pa tient and alert when school buses are present on the road.

Motorists are remind ed about the increase in traffic and pedestrians as students return to school. Reduce your speed in the area of crosswalks and school zones. Remember, slower is safer. School buses are back on the road, and all drivers must stop when approaching a stopped school bus with its upper red lights and stop arm flashing, regardless of the speed limit or number of lanes. Motorists failing to comply may be issued a $490 fine and six demerit points.Back to school safety is a community effort. To gether, we can make this school year a safe one.
Take care — it’s school bus time

August 1987 - Two large ball diamonds were being added to the Kinsmen Sports Field complex (behind the CTC store). Here the work of grading the area is being done. The ball diamonds would last close to 15 years before construction work extended Pulford Ave. to Danforth Ave. and houses were built on the property.

Leamington’s Past courtesy of the C. Scott Holland Collection
By C. Scott Holland At Winnipeg in the fall of 1925 the Ca nadian Legion was founded. It wasn’t long afterward that a drive to form a Leamington branch was held on Oct. 27, 1926 and from a group of Great War Veterans, the names of the follow ing men are on the Leamington Legion Branch 84’s original charter: Riel Hilli er, George Sharp, A.E. Bradley, Colin Ross, C.W. Gale, Sinclair Gunn, William Cummings, Robert Gray, Phillip Fader, Frank Briggs, William Matchison, Ar thur R. Forest, Ray G. McSween, Alfred Andrews and George Barnard. Barnard was elected its first president after Sin clair Gunn had temporarily held the reigns until the first executive was in stalled.Thegroup held meetings from 1926 to 1929 in an old red brick house which sat in the middle of what today is Me morial Park. By 1927, the Legion peti tioned Leamington Council to take over the southern half of the Legion’s prop erty and create a Memorial Park. The Legion’s vision was so strong that they foresaw a time when a War Memorial would grace the grounds in the future. Town council demolished the building and turned the property into a memori al park which had benches and for quite some time had a tank and cannon serv ing as reminders of the sacrifices local men paid in global conflicts. The Legion’s Ladies Auxiliary was created in 1928. Many of the original members were wives or close relatives of the men who fought in WW 1. In February 1929 the Legion was forced to move from the house which served as their clubrooms. From 1929 until 1933 they held their meetings in various locations, including the upper floor of the I.O.O.F. building on Erie St. North - ironically that second location was almost immediately above their location in 2016. Also, for a short time in 1933 and 1934, they adjourned in the upper part of the Milkins building on Talbot St. E. and in Council Chambers at Leamington’s original town hall. The Legion erected a new clubhouse on Orange St. in 1934 and paid $2,600 for the hous, which still stands at that lo cation today. The building had its grand opening in June 1935 and by 1937 they acquired a permit to serve alcohol in the basement.Themodern Legion building was opened in 1951 and served its growing membership well until 2010 when its declining membership decided to sell theOnestructure.ofthemany great fundraising ef forts the Legion undertook came in 1939 when its membership raised money for the creation of a proper War Memorial, which at the time was erected in front of the First Baptist Church. Late in the 1980s when Talbot St. West was repaved and realigned, the War Memorial was moved to its current spot in Memorial Park.For 90 years the Legion and its mem bership have been a vital part of the com munity, serving not only as the hosts of the annual Remembrance Day services, but also aiding local war veterans, pro viding sports sponsorships and events, dances, ceremonial interludes on many occasions. Most of all, the Legion was a place of friendship and meeting for all occasions.Sadly,declining membership led to its demise but the citizens of Leamington salute its members from the past and present for being a vital part of our com munity. back

September 1992 - The Junior Golf League at Talbot Trail enjoyed a great season. A good deal of hard work by volunteers, spearheaded by Mavis Shanks, caused the ranks to swell to 78 juniors in the program. Following a windup barbecue, the awards were presented and trips to the prize table took place. Left to right: representing the Wheatley Hall Farm trophy, Mrs. Lloyd McKibbin, Jason Bell, Keith Herring, Steven Marshall, Jennifer Dobson, Kelly Shanks.

Two local filmmakers, Alex Forman and Jakob Skrzypa, are hoping their latest and biggest collab orative endeavour, a fea ture length movie, will be hitting theatres and streaming services late nextTheyear.pair of graduates from Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary and the University of Wind sor have been working together, writing, produc ing, editing, filming, and even sometimes acting in films, since they were in their young teens. Their current project, Vampire Zombies… From Space, which they describe as “an over-the-top R-rated comedy which satiriz es and pays homage to drive-in, creature-feature horror films of the 1950s,” is now being shot at var ious locations across Windsor and Essex Coun ty.Filming began earlier this month here in Leam ington at the Pazur Farm on Country Road 7 and has moved on to other locations including Heri tage Village in Kingsville, the Essex United Church and the Essex Railroad Station.Veteran filmmaker and University of Windsor professor, Mike Stasko, who is directing, was ap proached by the creative duo in late 2018 in the hopes of resurrecting an idea they had as class mates 14 years ago back when the two were in grade 10. Over the years, Forman and Skrzypa have been involved in nu merous filmmaking proj ects including producing critically acclaimed shorts which have been featured in many short film festi vals around the world. However, this feature film is their most ambi tious project to date. Having been involved in creating award win ning films here in Wind sor-Essex such at The Birder featuring Fred Willard (Anchorman) and Boys vs. Girls featuring Colin Mochrie (Who’s Line is it Anyway?), For man and Skryzpa knew Stasko would be the per fect collaborator to help bring their newest project to fruition by once again utilizing local talents, proving Windsor-Essex a viable alternative to To ronto filmmaking. A cast of over 90 talented ac tors, and a crew of over 25 skillful special effects artists, hair and makeup artists, cinematographers, have been carefully com piled from the abundance of talent prevalent in the local arts Filmingcommunity.isexpected to wrap up by the end of the month. Postproduction, including editing, sound mixing, marketing and distribution, won’t like ly be finished for several months, with the com pleted project to be re leased next year. Forman says the most exciting part of the pro cess is seeing how their idea is being brought to life through the work of so many dedicated pro fessionals sharing their talents working together. “What began as some scribbles on a notepad at a Tim Horton’s over cof fee, is transforming into a full-length feature film, all with the help of our community,” he said.

The commercialization of automation is also front and center in the greenhouse industry, with many big players investigating how these newly developed technologies could be implemented into their operations.
CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE
Ever wonder what goes on within a greenhouse? Ontario grows a wide variety of fruits and vegetables! Many of which are found in one of the highest concentration of greenhouse farms in North America, Essex county. For the bio protection of our plants, and for the safety of our workers, tours are currently prohibited. But what if we could tell you how to tour a greenhouse from the comforts of your own home.
Agriculture is an ever-changing industry, where efficiencies and productivity are key for success. As technology advances, so does the growing process that our growers use to grow delicious Ontario vegetables, incorporating computer systems to automate fertilizer delivery, or energy curtains that open on a pre-set cycle to let in sunlight and heat. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to GH tech, and as these new products and devices are implemented in the greenhouse, new jobs understanding and upkeeping these technologies become crucial for success. This can explain the trend towards STEM jobs in the GH industry, as the needs of growers shift from manual labour and physicality, towards knowledge of these more complex systems. The need for engineering, computer science, and IT experts will increase.
