He and Angela have a family of four with their children Eric (four-and-a-half) and Tenley (two-and-a-half). He enjoys spending time with the family and young Eric is set to begin his hockey career this fall.

He’s looking forward to helping members of his community get the mortgages that will fit their situation.

The Leamington-born Wheatley resident has recently embarked on a new adventure after joining Real Mortgage Associates (RMA) out of London, Ontario.

The site chosen was the south side lo cation. When finished, the Lyric Theatre was 120 feet in width. Inside it featured 27 rows of seats that were 20 inches wide and each row had 20 seats in it. The gal lery had room for another 100 patrons. Total capacity was 650.

Increased competition – first from the Patricia Theatre in the 1910s and then from “talking movies” shown at the Capital Theatre in the late 1920s and 1930s – made it difficult for the Lyric to draw the large crowds it had in its early years.

Dusting off the memories

By C. Scott Holland

For approximately 30 years, the Lyric Theatre was one of Leamington’s earli est and top entertainment destinations.

They debated where it would be built. Site choices included a portion of the lot on the north side of Talbot, the corner of Albert and Talbot St. West where the original Joseph S. Robinson house sat –later Dr. Riel Hillier’s office in 1909 – or a site opposite the Huffman Hotel and a portion of the land on which the two earlier taverns had been.

Eventually, manager Sam French would have the heat system changed to one supplied by steam and thus have the facility warmer for the winter months.

The boats could be taken through the placid canal into the rougher waters of Lake Erie. This photograph of an unidentified family, standing outside the Cedar Beach Drug Store, was taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s.

Its architect and main contractor was William Link. While local tradesmen helped build this entertainment palace,

many of its interior materials came from Windsor, Toronto and Detroit.

In 1938, it ceased operations and lat er that year two businesses took over its lower portion. Bill White opened his White Cigar Store (which was still in business in the late 1960s as White’s Pool Room) and Knight’s Barber Shop. Today a small portion of the original building remains, although greatly al tered. Today, two businesses thrive at the location — Mastronardi’s Barber Shop and the Italian grocery store.

The Lyric Theatre opened on July 22, 1909 with 2,000 seeking admission.

She then worked at the Kinsmen Kanteen at the arena for over 25 years, becoming a second mother to thousands of young boys and girls who passed through. Upon her retirement from the Kanteen, she started to billet players from the Leamington Flyers Junior B team, gaining more “sons” along the way. She also served on the executive board of the Leamington Flyers.

Proud Dad of Brad Drewitt (Nadine) and Brian Drewitt (Roza). Loving Grandpa of Chad and Curtis Drewitt and baby-tobe Sophia. He will be missed by his fur baby Mindy. Predeceased by both of his parents in 1957, Arthur and Muriel, and his sister Deanna Maddox (2012). Survived by his brother Bud Drewitt (Louise). Don will also be remembered by his extended Greene family, and many nieces and nephews.

He was also a huge supporter of the Leamington Flyers and the Wheatley Sharks, volunteering with them for many years.

• Be prepared to share your lane - remember some farm vehicles are very wide and may take up more than one lane. Some vehicles also have protruding equipment that can be hard to see. Give that farm vehicle space as some ve hicles may not be able to pull off the road due to equipment weight or shoulder issues.

• Watch out for left turns - Not all farm vehicles have turn signals, watch for farmers signalling a turn using the same hand signals as a cyclist. Be aware that farmers with long or wide farming equipment sometimes need to make a wide turn. If a tractor swings to the right, be careful, it may be starting a left turn.

Mom was fastidious and precise in all that she did, from her early years working at the Town of Leamington, to her later years at the Leamington Post and News until her retirement. She was meticulous in her planning of wonderful family celebrations where the meals were bountiful and the table settings exquisite. Through her loving and generous ways, she taught us the importance of hard work, love, kindness, and above all, respect for others. She took great pride in her children and grandchildren and was always there to lend an ear and offer advice. She had a keen sense of humour and a quick wit. Known affectionately as “The Queen”, mom was a keen “Royal watcher” and could often be heard posing the question “What would the Queen do?” Endless conversations were had discussing the current state of the Firm. She was ever present in our lives and we will miss her dearly.

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all involved in her medical support over the past few weeks.

Beloved husband of the late Margaret “Peggy” (2010).

The Monarch migration usually starts the end of Au gust and runs through until mid-October, depending on weather. Point Pelee National Park is a popular location for the colourful butterflies which are often seen at the tip prior to crossing the lake.

We need to move forward on high school proper ty, homeless centre and emergency shelter. Community Safety.

I am an Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Windsor.

With the October 24 Municipal Election looming large on the horizon, the Southpoint Sun reached out to all Mayoral, Deputy Mayor and Council candidates for a 300-word summary, to include a biography of themselves and the answer to two questions — What qualities do you possess that makes you the person for the job? And what are the biggest issues facing your municipality? The responses are in alphabetical order within each category and are unedited by the Sun. Leamington and Kingsville will both be using mail-in ballots, which should be in your mailbox soon.

I have been elected to a third term on the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and am also a member of the On tario Small Urban Municipalities executive board.

In my municipal career I worked under 9 different May ors; as a Consulting Engineer I completed projects in all Essex County Municipalities.

Good Day, Leamington!

I grew up on the family farm in Leamington, and in 2006 we moved back from Windsor. My career as a Professional Engineer spans over 45 years, 40 of which were in Leamington, Windsor and Essex County. My full resume is available on www.linkedIn.com.

My name is Shelly J. Quick, and I have lived in Leamington since I was sixteen. I have been married to Virgil Quick for 40 wonderful years and we have three adult children and four grandchildren.Muchofmy career was spent working for the Municipality of Leamington. During my employ ment, I had the opportunity to sit in on committee meetings, including Economic Devel opment, Joint Animal Control, Accessibility, Volunteer Appreciation and council and budget meetings. I have also had the privilege of working with different may ors, deputy mayors and council members, who have made decisions that affected our community.

I bring a wealth of experience as well as regional and provincial connections.

MEET THE LEAMINGTON MAYORAL CANDIDATES

I relate to people of all backgrounds and social strata. I understand the needs, dreams, and goals of the members of our community, and providing service for others has always been a priority of mine. My over thirty-five years of experience rep resenting people in courts and tribunals has given me the education, skills, and abilities necessary to make Leamington a dynamic city. One governed by a municipality that keeps in touch with our com munity, while being transparent and dedicated to serve both our people and our business sector—a city that can make us all proud. Service, service, service. The Municipality should, above all, be there to serve the people and busi nesses in our beautiful city of Leamington. We need to perform our duties with transparency, diligence and a deep sense of responsibility and accountability. When dealing with the needs of our community, I will make sure that everybody is treated with respect and fairness. We need to keep in touch with all members of our community, and place all of our resources, skills, and capabili ties to fully realize the objectives of all members of our community.

I was born and raised in Leamington where I attend ed LDSS. During my youth, I worked at our family green house & vegetable farm learn ing from my father. Working In the farming industry, I learned many lessons on how to make things work even when times were tough. Around that time

MEET THE DEPUTY MAYOR CANDIDATES

I bring sixteen years of mu nicipal council experience to the table. Two terms were served as a councillor; one term as deputy-mayor and one term as mayor.

Right now, a post pandemic recovery is at the very top of my list. The two biggest related issues are affordability, and safety. The pandemic has been fi nancially devastating for so many of our residents, yet property taxes just keep going up. On top of that we’re not seeing a return from our tax dollars as over $100 million just sits in reserve collecting dust. As a result, our police are underfunded and people don’t feel safe anymore. As Mayor I would see housing affordability tackled head on, along with the issue of security.

Warren Bennis quoted, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality” and if elected as Dep uty Mayor for the community that I love, I would like to do just that.

In 2006, Leamington was named Canada’s best place to live by MoneySense Magazine, beating out a total of 108 other communities. I would love to have Leamington obtain that status again. We as a com munity have so much to offer! We are surrounded by the incredible Lake Erie, are home to a beautiful ma rina and a thriving greenhouse industry. Additionally, we are home to a hardworking farming community and several arts and cultural amenities.

I was born in Santiago, Chile, and lived there until 1982 when I came to Canada as a political refugee. I am recog nized by the Chilean Govern ment as a victim of torture. I am a community advocate and paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, and my strong sense of social jus tice has led me to always pro viding a significant portion of my services for free to community members who cannot afford legal fees. God has gifted me my wonderful spouse and three beautiful daughters, and for over a decade, I’ve been in love with this city.

As a lifelong resident of Leamington with over 25 years of experience running a farm, and having sat on the board of NGO’s like OGVG, I understand how to run a corporation from an operational, lo gistical and financial standpoint. Aside from that, I am a father of 4 beautiful children who have made me an expert problem solver at home as well. Now more than ever, Leamington needs a problem solv er who can address our main issues such as hous ing affordability and security.

Housing and Homelessness.

As Director of Community Services in Leamington (20062011) I led many important projects, including:

Environmental Sustainability: Develop a plan of action for the Lake Erie Shoreline and adjacent wetlands., Improve Active Transportation infrastructure, Accelerate sewer separation.Economic Development: Implement the Uptown Master Plan and the Waterfront Master Plan, Promote ‘Ecotour ism’, Maximize spin-offs from the greenhouse industry. Greenhouses: Promote Leamington as the centre of ex cellence in the greenhouse industry, Promote Community partnerships with OGVG.

I met my wonderful wife and soon after, I began the journey of raising my own family. Raising four awesome kids and running a successful company for the last 25 years has been an incredible journey, and having recently retired, I now find myself look ing to serve my community.

Currently with 4 years expe rience as Deputy Mayor and 8 years as Councillor, Larry takes pride in his community as he currently sits on 9 differ ent committees throughout the County. Larry consistently puts his community first, bringing ‘Leamington’ to the forefront of these committees including, but not limited to: County Council, Essex Region Source Water Protection, Windsor-Essex Food Policy Council, and Union Water just to name a few. With his experience, Larry will do his best to serve Leamington as your Deputy Mayor. I believe my experience is what sets me apart from any other candidate.

Onearises.issue that I would like to work on would be to look for money from upper levels of government for north sewer trunk lines, which would create a domino effect. Having these sewer lines would benefit not only clean water but the environment as well. Our greenhouse industry is booming and they need a place for their workers to live. As of now, the Min istry of Environment will not allow new bunkhouses on these farms, forcing the farmers to buy up houses in town. If this project goes through, it will free up affordable housing within our community.

I truly believe that Leamington is an incredible town to raise your family, and I hope to work with residents of all ages to restore a sense of community across generations.

I support many community activ ities:

It is important we continue to improve and build on permitting processes in building and planning, complaint process, community engagement, bill payment.

Another is the need to cut red tape because small business is a big deal. I don’t want to see busi nesses shut down because of a superficial by-law or development stalled because of the current permit ting process. Additionally, I want to promote tourism by building the Leamington Brand with an effective marketing strategy. This includes strengthening the relationship with the Caldwell First Nation and part nering with their efforts. Certainly, policing and fire services are also vital issues for our community.

1. What I have to offer is hard work, I’m not working for myself but for the community of Leam ington. I promise to give this town all my blood, sweat and tears and to listen to all those people who, like me, truly care about all the people in this beautiful town of Leamington. How may you ask? I will help solve problems instead of attacking them head on find a solution where both the community and town hall are happy.

Along with improving infrastructure to support our growing economy, a key priority is to address Mental Health and addictions supports, which I believe will help reduce crime, building safer neighbourhoods for all residents. Creating an environment for youth to be engaged and wanting to stay and raise their families in Leamington, will help build the foundation for future growth.

As a local community leader, I have over 25 years experience working in both private and non-profit sectors. Currently, I am the Executive Director of the Half Century Centre.

I believe it is important to be open and value all per spectives across our diverse community. I value col laborative work and have strengthened partnerships with the Municipality of Leamington in building a vi brant Seniors Active Living Centre. I serve on the Se niors Advisory Committee for the Municipality.

Eventually, Dave Metcalfe relocated to Leamington to be nearer to family in 2017.

I have been witnessing Leamington deteriorate over the years that I have lived here. I see crime increas ing, substance abuse and mental illnesses that are un supported and causing too many deaths, poverty be coming a chronic issue, a housing crisis that needs to be addressed, a homeless population that is growing and is desperate for solutions, and small businesses struggling to survive. Each and every one of these is sues as well as every person, every resident of Leam ington that is falling through the cracks should be at the top of the list.

There is a need to streamline the bureaucracy and cut the red tape. People often express their frustrations to me about their difficulties in receiving building permits, and other services in a timely manner.

MEET THE LEAMINGTON COUNCIL CANDIDATES

I am really grateful for the many people who have shown their trust in me and nominat ed me for council. My wife and I moved to Leamington to raise our children in a place where they could thrive and grow. I grew up on a farm doing field work such as picking cucum bers, asparagus, strawberries, raspberries, and apples etc. I have managed cattle raising operations and feedlots and cash crop operations such as wheat, soybeans and corn. Currently I work in the distribution sector for vegetables in Leamington. Hobbies include read ing, chess, golf, volleyball, and camping.

In my decades in aviation, I have learned to develop effective communication strategies and to collaborate in decision making in a team environment, where lives are at stake! I have an understanding of the nature of bureaucratic processes, and an understanding of the reality that sometimes bureaucracies become barriers to moving things forward in a time sensitive but com passionate manor.

The pillars of Corey’s campaign include a safe, clean and vibrant uptown with increased police presence in areas of crime. Attracting doctors to live and practice in Leamington is a must to reduce wait times and over capacities at the hospital. Inducing developers to build affordable housing and easing the permit process is key. With the waterfront development plan already in place, development must be done responsibly consid ering input from the public. Continued funding for arts and culture along with marketing Leamington to young families, tourists and investors, is a priority as well as supporting social programs for guest workers.

Christine Montgomery

Affordable housing is becoming problematic. The Municipality should look to explore options so as to stimulate and expedite building. Why are there not more ADUs (Auxiliary-Housing-Units) being encour aged? There is an increasing visible presence of homeless people in our community. The Municipality should advocate for money to address this issue rather than support issues that might be of questionable val ue to our community.

I believe in integrity first above all else. I believe that with hard work and unity we can ensure cur rent and future residents will find Leamington even more enjoyable. I have always had a servant’s heart and demonstrated leadership in many different roles within the community. I generally have enjoyed serv ing the community behind the scenes and am ex cited to change that. I offer a new voice, one that has a vested interest in the community working well into the future for our children’s sake. I think through problems logically and communicate extremely well. I am decisive in my actions.

2. The issue I see in our municipality is the lack of hearing and understanding what the people of Leamington want. I believe that we don’t listen enough to the ideas of those who truly want to help Leamington thrive. I truly believe that to make this beautiful town succeed we need to connect with residents, small businesses owners, and teenagers to know what we can do for Leamington to suc ceed in the future.

I have been an active volunteer on numerous Boards and Community Associations, such as, the UMEI School Board, PTA at Gore Hill, and Coached Minor Ball.

What I have to offer is a boots-on-the-ground per spective and a passion to see the lives of struggling individuals change for the better. So many individ uals are struggling to the point that these issues are no longer individual problems but community ones. I will advocate for the vulnerable in our community and push to make change happen. I am also willing to fight for our rights and freedoms that have been threatened recently. I offer the ability to think critically, to stand for what I believe in and to challenge the sta tus quo when necessary.

I would like to begin by in troducing myself, my name is Oscar Ramirez, I’m 53 years old, I was born in Honduras and I’m the oldest of 6 and I moved to Canada as a refu gee at the age of 23 years old.

My top focus will be ensuring that Leamington works for the residents of Leamington first. 5 years ago, I heard the same problems I hear about today and that should never be. We don’t have enough housing, infrastructure to handle new housing, in dustrial areas with space available, crime and home lessness is increasing. The services such as police and fire are struggling to deal with a growing pop ulation and the foundations of the municipality are starting to crack. I will focus on making the founda tional functions of the municipality work. Town Hall is not operating to address the basic functions.

I believe it is a priority to ensure that the most vulner able populations have equal access to community re sources and to invest in affordable housing solutions. I am prepared to lead decisions for the betterment of all.

I served on the Leamington Arts Centre board for the past 8 years, I feel we’ve made incredible progress with Arts and Culture offerings in that time (LAC, Bank Theater, renovated Library, Amphitheater, Mill St. Markets). A community that has a strong Arts and Culture pres ence glows brighter, you can see it happening on Mill Street.

• I feel the most important is sue is guaranteeing a start date for the North trunk sewer project. Many aren’t aware how this proj ect will affect them, providing a sewer to the north helps solve our sewer capacity issues the farms in the north face when it comes to more on farm living accommodations. Maybe the most important factor with this project is the housing that opens up in the urban area. If farms no longer require homes uptown, it would help solve some of our affordable housing issues. Plus, it will open up more opportunities for other industries to build or expand in the north. A lot of work developing the business case for this project happened this past term, we need a commitment on construction soon. Other important projects Other important projects include

Home openers are al ways filled with nervous players and tentative moves, but in front of an appreciative crowd of 480 last Thursday night, Sept. 18, the Leamington Fly ers did not live up to ex pectations their fans may haveWithhad.the MacPhersons back, as well as several other vets from last sea son’s campaign, the fans may have been looking for strong offense and defense – and of course a victory.Pre-game ceremonies were minimal, but both teams did honour the late GOJHL Ayr Centennials’ player Eli Palfreyman who passed away in an exhibition game a week prior.

The Flyers did put plenty of shots on Stars’ rookie netminder Wy att Sloetjes, but most of the shots he faced were right at him. The rookie did make some dazzling saves to earn the shutout.

The Flyers reversed their fortune on Sunday night in Chatham when they rolled out to a 4-0 lead and hung on to top Chatham 5-2 in a con test between two young teams.

A flurry of Flyers activity around the Stars’ net in last Thursday’s game saw Flyer Hayden Reid (#7) and Anthony Ciaramitaro (#9) watch as William Van Sumeren (#18) tries to get the puck past Stars’ goalie Wyatt Sloetjes, who blanked the Flyers 2-0.
