LEAMINGTON – A project for residents without readily accessible transportation will soon be making its way across Essex County. Leamington municipal council entered an agreement with Transit Windsor to undergo a 45-month pilot project that will provide a bus route through the communities of Windsor, Essex, Kingsville and Leamington. Through the arrangement, Transit Windsor will invoice the Municipality of Leamington on a per-hour basis for the routes of full-size buses capable of carrying 38 passengers plus wheelchairs and bicycles. The amount charged to Leamington could vary based on whether or not revenue targets are met. The Municipality of Leamington has committed $125,000 towards the Community Transportation Grant Program while the province is chipping in with $606,400. The balance of the project’s funding will be paid through fares charged to the system’s users. To avoid a deficit beyond the CTGP’s budget of about $1 million, the service must average 4.1 riders per one-way trip in the first year up to as high as 6.6 riders per one-way trip in latter years at an average fare rate of $7.50. “Following a successful 45 month program, it will eventually lead to discussions of a permanent solution,” explained director of infrastructure services Rob Sharon, noting that Kingsville (Continued on Page 2)

LEAMINGTON – This year’s 44th Carrousel of the Nations will include villages representing the distinct cultural makeup of Leamington. The new villages will take place in Leamington on Saturday, June 15 and will include the Caldwell First Nation, Italian, Lebanese and Mexican communities. “We are growing. We’re excited to expand to Leamington with the support of the Municipality of Leamington – CarrouselOnThe42,” said Kathleen Thomas, Executive Director of the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County. Darryl VanOirshot of the Caldwell First Nation welcomed guests to the Caldwell First Nation Community Hall on Thursday, May 16 to announce the new villages coming to Leamington. Tony DiMenna of the Roma Club and Paul Tawil of the Lebanese Club represented their clubs and extended a warm welcome to locals and visitors on June 15 to share their culture through food, dance and music. Alberto Bernal-Acero, Consul with the Mexican Consulate of Leamington, and Deputy Consul Alejandro Noriega Valdez stated that they plan to showcase Mexican culture at its finest at Salsa Caliente Mexican Grill at 275 Erie Street South.

Essex. Carrousel of the Nations engages the city, county, province and international visitors through cultural history, food, music and dance. The event is a coordinated between the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County and individual ethnic communities to educate and entertain visitors, and to celebrate the rich diversity. “We’re so thrilled that this opportunity has come to us… It’s long past due for all of us to share our culture and that we can benefit from the history and experience
of Carrousel of the Nations’ 44 years is amazing,” said Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “We support you 100 percent and we have so many more cultures to share. Our diversity has always been one of our main features,” she added. The four new Leamington villages will be integrated with the 16 current ones in Windsor and LaSalle. The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) is one of the major sponsors of the Leamington villages. “The hard work of generations from around the world
have created the strong greenhouse industry in this area,” said Niki Bennett, Science Coordinator, OGVG.

Construction to begin on $105.7M gas project KINGSVILLE – Enbridge Gas will begin construction later this month on its Kingsville Transmission Reinforcement Pipeline. The $105.7 million project will meet the growing residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural
demand for natural gas in Windsor-Essex, ChathamKent and surrounding areas, including the fast-growing greenhouse market in the Leamington and Kingsville area. The project will involve constructing approximately
19 kilometres of natural gas transmission pipeline in the Town of Lakeshore and the Town of Kingsville in the County of Essex. Construction will begin mid-2019 and the transmission line is expected to be in service by the end of 2019.
“Enbridge Gas has been delivering affordable and reliable natural gas to homes and businesses for over 170 years,” said Steven Jelich, Enbridge Gas Southwest Region Operations Director. “This history has provided us with significant experience in pipeline construction and operation, plus we have an enviable safety and reliability record in this regard.” Safety The transmission pipeline will be designed, constructed and operated to meet or exceed all applicable safety codes and regulations. Once construction is complete, the company’s ongoing pipeline maintenance program will ensure that the pipeline system continues to operate safely and reliably. The community located near the construction-area will be kept informed of construction activities as the project progresses. Environmental Responsibility An integral part of this project was an environmental report conducted by an independent consultant that outlines the steps Enbridge Gas will take to protect the natural environment. During construction, an environmental inspector will ensure compliance with these measures, environmental permits, approvals, laws, policies and other commitments.

Essex and Kingsville will also use their respective arena complexes as stops along the route while the Windsor destination will be St. Clair College. From the college, all Transit Windsor destinations will be available. Sharon explained that Kingsville and Essex are both enthusiastic about the Community Transportation Grant Program, as it is expected to provide a means for residents to access medical appointments, work schedules and job interviews, educational priorities and other services within the City of Windsor. “It’s definitely an exciting project and it’s great to see it happen,” noted Councillor Tim Wilkinson. “We’ve all anticipated this coming for a while now,” added Councillor John Hammond. Members of council expressed an interest in access to records revealing how many passengers will be using the new pilot project, which Sharon explained will be provided by Transit Windsor and delivered to council. If the program is well received and used extensively, the service’s schedule could be expanded. The preliminary schedule for the 45-month system calls for Monday to Friday Leamington arrival times of 6:25 a.m., 1:25 p.m. and 6:25 p.m. Each departure time is slotted for five minutes after arrival. On Saturdays, the bus will arrive in Leamington at 8:55 a.m. and 5:55 p.m., again with departure times five minutes afterwards.

Alzheimer’s Walk coming to Leamington May 25 LEAMINGTON – The IG Wealth Management Walk For Alzheimer’s is expanding this year to include a walk in Leamington on Saturday, May 25, as well as the walk in Windsor on Sunday, May 26.
“The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is an important community event to highlight the challenging and growing issue that affects many families,” said Trevor LeDrew, Regional Director of IG Wealth Management. “Our community is our clients, and we are here for them.” The Leamington walk will be held at Seacliff Park with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. at the pavilion and the walk starts at 9:30 a.m. The Windsor walk is at the same time at the Ford Test Track at 3001 Seminole Dr., Windsor. All money raised at the walk is invested in a broad range of programs and services available through the Society. Offered at little or no cost, these programs enhance the health and wellbeing of people with dementia and their families, from diagnosis to end of life, and provide education and guidance to help people reduce their risk of dementia and maintain brain health. “Our Walk is a fun, family-friendly event open to anyone who wants to make life better for those living with dementia,” says Angela Belleau, Community Engagement & Volunteer Coordinator Alzheimer Society of Windsor & Essex County. “We hope the community will help us in supporting the cause by donating to Daisy the Duck’s page – or sponsoring a team on their own.” When the City of Windsor was clearing the brush in the community garden at the Alzheimer Society of Windsor & Essex County’s new Day Break at the Lodge location, they discovered a feathered friend – dubbed Daisy the Duck – in need of protection. “Daisy has become a real fan favorite for our participants and visitors,” said Sayed Daher, Huron Lodge Adult Day Program Supervisor. “People get really excited when they look closely and see Daisy and discover that she is sitting on nine eggs that are ready to hatch any day.” Daher added that since the Soci-
ety’s fundraising walk is just around the corner, they seized on the opportunity to introduce the general public to Daisy and raise awareness for the cause. “Daisy draws so much attention that we’ve created a Daisy the Duck IG Wealth Management Walk For Alzheimer’s page that has raised over $200 for the cause in only a few days!” Daher exclaims. Belleau adds that participants can register online individually or make an even bigger impact by joining a corporate team or creating a team with family and friends. Belleau stated that the Leamington walk was added so that Leamington and other county residents didn’t have to make the drive to Windsor to participate in the fundraiser for Alzheimer’s. There are three ways to register: • online: walkforalzheimer.ca • call: 519-974-2220, ext. 237 • in person: 2135 Richmond St., Windsor.
Local student recognized LEAMINGTON – On Friday, May 17, representatives from the Greater Essex County District School Board, the Great Lakes Water Safety Consortium and the County of Essex travelled to Gore Hill Public School to recognize Grade 6 student Lauryn Dewhurst for her entry into their Water Safety Poster Contest.

More than 70 birds identified at Chesterfield Bird Walk By Sheila McBrayne
More than 50 birders attended the 26th annual Norm Chesterfield Bird Walk on Wednesday, May 15 at Wheatley Provincial Park. More than 70 different birds were spotted.
MUSE
PROMO
WHEATLEY – The 26th anniversary of the Norm Chesterfield Birding Day walk was held on Wednesday, May 15 with more than 50 interested early-birders who met at 7 a.m. at Wheatley Provincial Park. Chesterfield, a Wheatley native, was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1983-1990 for the most sightings. His lifetime sightings were: World 6,617, Canada 520, Ontario 407. This year’s walk, led by Paul Pratt and members of the Chesterfield family, saw close to 100 different species. Pratt is retired as head naturalist at the Ojibway Nature Centre. He has led birding tours throughout North America, Australia and Africa. Ray Chesterfield, son of the walk’s namesake Norm Chesterfield, has been birding for over 50 years. “I started with my dad as a teenager, so it’s been 50 years,” said Ray. He was very happy with the large turnout of birders and birds. “It’s been one of the best years for birding,” he said. Chesterfield explained that the rainy and overcast weather that has been present for most of May is actually good for birding. “Overcast weather is actually good. When it’s cloudy the birds don’t fly and they stay down low,” he said. “Point Pelee has had a great season this year, probably the best in 30 years… They’ve even seen some reverse migration,” he stated. Approximately 70 different birds were spotted during the walk. Among the birds recorded that morning were: wild turkeys, warbling vireo, bald eagle, northern rough-winged swallow, Baltimore oriole, cormorant, chestnut-sided warbler, female redstart, dove, grackle, red-breasted nuthatch, kingbird, Cape May warbler, robin, tree swallow, mallard, red-winged blackbird, magnolia warbler, veery, red-headed woodpecker, wood duck, Wilson’s warbler, blue jay, whitecrowned sparrow, white-breasted nuthatch, scarlet tanager, black-throated green warbler, hummingbird, least flycatcher, great egret (white heron), house wren, northern parula, warbler, red-bellied woodpecker, downy woodpecker, indigo bunting, female rose-breasted grosbeak, Blackburnian warbler, purple martin, bay-breasted warbler, rose-breasted grosbeak, common tern, pileated woodpecker and many more. Of particular interest that morning was the sighting of a pileated woodpecker. “You don’t see them around here too often… It was a beautiful day for the walk,” said Chesterfield.

South Shore races this weekend By Bryan Jessop
The birds aren’t the only ones gathering at Point Pelee National Park this month. The sixth annual South Shore 5km/10km Run will take place starting at the national park’s Visitors Centre Saturday, May 25 in another effort to support two local organizations. The gathering will once again split proceeds between South Shore Christian School and Little Hands Kids For A Cause and will be hosted by Point Pelee for the third time. South Shore Christian School supply teacher Sharon ArthursPepper has led the organization of the event since its 2014 inception, when it took place starting at the Leamington Municipal Marina promenade. This year, a volunteer team of about 75 — including teachers and parents — will assist with duties ranging from sponsorship recruitment to day-of tasks including race marshaling. “We’ve got quite a few sponsors from across the area, which is amazing to see,” Arthurs-Pepper explained. This year, incentives are being offered to racers who finish first, 28th and 43rd, for a total 10-participant giveaway of $950. As a pledge collecting incentive, anyone raising $75 will receive a free running buff. Those who raise in excess of $150 will receive a buff plus a ballot entered to win a Mucci Farms gift basket with swag and a FitBit. Entries who collect $200 or more will earn the buff, Mucci package ballot and another ballot for the draw of a gift card basket. Anyone raising $300 or more will receive all those incentives plus an additional ballot to potentially win a FitBit Ionic. All walkers and runners will also receive a medal and a t-shirt for the event, which will offer pizza courtesy of Domino’s. Preregistration is available online at www.raceroster.com by entering “South Shore Run” into the search field and following the prompts. Last year’s South Shore set of races attracted 280 registrants and raised about $40,000. Arthurs-Pepper explained that this year’s goal is to meet or exceed that amount. Interested residents may also sign up on the day of the race during the 7:30 a.m. registration. At 8:45 a.m., the event will present its traditional Little Hands Heroes Walk for area youths with lifethreatening illnesses and their families. The Kids’ 1 km Fun Run will start at 9 a.m. with 5 km and 10 km walkers and runners heading towards the tip starting at 9:10 a.m. The South Shore 5 km/10 km Run is the second of three races in the Speedprint Race Series. Participants who entered the Southern Footprints race in late April, the South Shore gathering and the 5 km run/walk for the Leamington Multisport Weekend on June 9 at Leamington Marina will receive a free set of wireless ear buds courtesy of Speedprint.

Fundraiser for Adam Kroeker Firefighter, father, friend, family By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Friends and family of a man who has supported his community for the past nine years are asking for the community to support him in a time of need. Leamington Fire Services firefighter Adam Kroeker is in the process of treatment and recovery for a brain tumour — officially diagnosed by physicians as Ependymoma with Hydrocephalus — that requires multiple surgeries. Friend and fellow LFS firefighter Shawn McKenzie is “We’ll do whatever organizing an event simply it takes to help him unnamed Fundtil he’s stable enough raiser For Adam to come back to work.” Kroeker at the — Shawn Leamington McKenzie Portuguese Club Friday, May 31. The opento-the-public 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. event will feature a pasta and chicken dinner with salad for $30 per adult, $10 per child under 12 and free to youths under five years of age. Door prizes and raffles will also be included as part of the fundraiser, which the organizing team hopes to see generate $70,000 in proceeds. Money raised will help Kroeker and his wife and two children offset bills and other daily expenses while he is away from work recovering. “We’ll do whatever it takes to help him until he’s stable enough to come back to work,” McKenzie explained. “There’s no schedule for recovery, but we know it’s going to be a very long time. We want to bring in as much as we can. We’ve been getting a lot of donations for it.” Tickets for the dinner are available at Leamington

Chrysler at 170 Oak St. West and the LFS station at 5 Clark St. West. Also, McKenzie can be contacted at 519-401-1607 for ticket information and availability. The dinner will also include DJ music, a cash bar and silent auction items being donated by local businesses and organizations. Kroeker has served with Leamington Fire Services for the past nine years, initially answering to McKenzie, who has been there for the past 15 years and is currently the captain of Squad 2. Shortly before his diagnosis at Windsor Regional Hospital on April 25 of this year, Kroeker — who does not have coverage for expenses — was promoted to Lieutenant of Squad 3. Kroeker first underwent surgery April 29 and by May 14 had received his fourth surgery at Windsor’s Hotel Dieu Hospital, including emergency surgery — with more to come. On Thursday, May 9, a Go Fund Me page was set up for Kroeker with its own fundraising target of $10,000 — a goal McKenzie explained could be raised if donations exceed that amount. Twelve days after it was established, the page raised about $3,100 from 38 contributors. The page can be accessed at www.gofundme. com/support-lt-adam-kroeker-brain-tumor

The passing of the torch It was interesting to read that Ruthven’s own Meghan Agosta is returning to her roots to run a hockey camp in Leamington this summer. I spoke briefly to Meghan last week and she is genuinely excited to bring her skills and knowledge back to her hometown for the camp. I guess this is kind of a passing of the torch, so-to-speak. The Kirk Bowman Hockey School has announced that they have run their last camp, so it’s only fitting that Meghan is able to start a camp Mark Ribble here. This area has been fortunate when it comes to hockey talent. Kirk and Meghan are part of an elite group of those who have reached the pinnacle of their hockey careers. That group also includes Bud Hillman, Brad Selwood, Randy Manery, Pat Ribble, Kris Manery, Tim Hrynewich and Darren McCarty. Several others also made it to the minor pro level. That number is not too shabby when you consider the odds of making it to the top. This area has managed to have its fair share of great hockey players. Kirk Bowman and his crew are due a lot of credit for how they shaped the skills of many hockey players for the past three decades. And if I’m not mistaken, Meghan was once one of those players. When Kirk was the coaching mentor for Southpoint Minor Hockey, he was generous with the sharing of his knowledge of the game and the skills necessary to compete at a higher level. Never too busy to answer questions from our coaches, he gave his time freely and often in that regard. His hockey schools were no different, as he always had time for the kids and their questions. Of course, the game is constantly evolving but the same basic message is there: Have fun and try your best. Over the years, hundreds of kids have passed through his hockey school and learned everything from the basic fundamentals to body checking and more advanced skills. From its beginnings in the old arena on Erie St. North, to the most recent camps at the Complex, the hockey school has been a fixture for what seems like forever. But all good things must come to an end and I’m sure Kirk and his close-knit crew have earned their right to relax after all these years. The torch has been passed, and we know that Meghan Agosta is familiar with torches and what they represent. We wish her well in this new endeavour, as much as we wish Kirk Bowman a happy and relaxing retirement.

Officers with the Essex County Ontario Provincial Police attend the docking area of Leamington’s Pelee Island Ferry Service terminal Wednesday, May 8 after receiving a report of a boat capsizing in nearby Lake Erie waters at about 3 p.m. that afternoon. The small vessel’s lone occupant, a 26-year-old Leamington man, was not wearing a life preserver when he was ejected into the frigid waters near the dock. The man was able to swim to shore and despite exposure to low temperatures, was not injured as a result of the incident. Leamington Fire Services and Essex Windsor Emergency Medical Services also attended the scene. The OPP remind those venturing out into the waterways to be aware of changing and adverse weather conditions, to always wear a life jacket and take all necessary safety precautions.

ESHC welcomes new director of communications and public relations
Ambassadors tour the town LEAMINGTON – About a dozen enthusiastic ambassadors for Leamington enjoyed the familiarization tour led by Kyra Knapp, Leamington’s manager of culture and tourism. The ambassadors loaded onto a bus at the municipal office on Thursday, May 16 and travelled downtown to tour the new Mill Street area. Pictured here, Luca Coppola, an apprenticing butcher at Bradt’s Butcher Shop, leads a tour of the Mill Street store. The bus then took the group to Seacliff Park where they viewed the new amphitheatre and pedestrian boardwalk. Stops were also made at Seacliff Inn, Aziz Fruit Stand, The Trading Post and Point Pelee National Park. The ambassadors were brushing up on their local tourist attractions as they will be volunteering at the Big Tomato Tourist Booth this year. The opening of the tourist booth was scheduled for the Victoria Day weekend, but has been postponed due to safety issues at the Big Tomato. Representatives from the Municipality of Leamington and the Chamber of Commerce are meeting this week to discuss possible repairs to make the Big Tomato viable. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

This will allow me to be on the front lines of healthcare as I work alongside the team at Erie Shores HealthCare and work on helping patients and staff communicate the amazing work and collaboration being done as we move forward into the future.” “Having Arms as the Director of Communication and Public Relations will be a valuable addition to ESHC,” said Kristin Kennedy, Chief Nursing Executive at ESHC. “Not only does he bring a vast amount of experience and expertise to ESHC, he brings with him a connection to healthcare that is a rare find.” Arms begins at ESHC on Monday, May 27, and will be involved in a number of community events for the hospital and familiarizing himself with the staff, services and people that make up Erie Shores HealthCare.

Children’s musical to present the story of Esther
St. Louis celebrates Catholic Education Week LEAMINGTON – Last week, St. Louis Catholic Elementary School with French Immersion celebrated Catholic Education Week. To conclude the festivities, the school welcomed entertainers D.J. Delf and Nate Vedette. The students enjoyed some of their favourite French songs like Avoir II, Sautez, Sautez and Pourquoi Take French? Pictured, students Damon Youssef and Lucas Grilo cheer on DJ Delf. (Submitted Photo)
LEAMINGTON – Faith Mennonite Church, The Bank Theatre and community volunteers are partnering to present “For Such a Time As This: An Esther Story.” This children’s musical is written and composed by local playwright Barry Bergen. Performances are Friday, May 24 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 26 at 10:30 a.m. at Faith Mennonite Church both dates. “Faith Mennonite Church is very excited to partner with The Bank Theatre and Barry Bergen once again,” said Sara Garnet of Faith Mennonite Church. “The Esther story is not an easy one. Barry has taken a deep look into this story and brought his unique brand of lighthearted wit to a script that will make you laugh and make you think.” “The biblical story of Esther touches on two themes which are front and centre in our world today,” said writer and composer Barry Bergen. “Esther is obviously a woman in what was then a decidedly man’s world. She is also a member of a minority. She moves from a very precarious position in life, to one that seems quite powerful – a queen. Yet, as queen she realizes that she is still quite powerless – both as a woman and as a member of a minority. Esther’s faith and her ability to play the political games of the day save her and her people. Trying to bring this to life in a children’s play was a challenge and also a lot of fun.” “The Bank Theatre is delighted with this partnership with Faith Mennonite Church, which began three years ago,” said Barbara Martens of The Bank Theatre. “Barry Bergen has composed yet another insightful, fun musical for kids from the larger community to sing and act in. This is exactly what The Bank Theatre aims to do: encourage the performing arts in our ENTER TO WIN local community.” Draw Date: Admission to the musiSaturday, cal is by donation and doors May 24, 2019 open 30 minutes before performance. Faith Mennonite Church is located at 269 Fridge/Freezer Filled Sherk Street in Leamington. with Food For more information, (prize valued at $1800) visit www.banktheatre.com and www.fmcleamington. org

Business Profile
n a routine basis, patients of The Denture Center are left with a service they can really sink their teeth into. The trio of Eric Kukucka DD, James Bennett DD and Adam Mazzuca DD have granted countless patients the freedom to smile with confidence as the denturists at two local clinics of The Denture Center. Bennett and Mazzuca divide their services between the Windsor location at 2601 Lauzon Parkway and Leamington address at 33 Princess Street — Community Hub 33 — at Suite 320. Kukucka, owner of the business, works mostly out of the Windsor clinic, although he also pays visits to the Leamington location. Bennett is backed by more than 40 years of experience in the Windsor-Leamington area as a denturist and is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Denturism — an organization committed to remaining current with denture technologies and techniques via continued education. Mazzuca practiced in Toronto before being added to The Denture Center team in 2015. He is backed by an ample knowledge base and speaks fluent Italian. Kukucka was named Valedictorian of health sciences at George Brown College, where he graduated with honours in 2010. As a key opinion leader for dental materials world leader Ivoclar Vivadent, Kukucka lectures on new innovations internationally. Eric is one of 38 instructors in the world certified in SEMCD; treatment for lower suction dentures. He also speaks on behalf of dental implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare. About a year ago, the Leamington office relocated to its home from Talbot Street West, where it was known as the James Bennett Denture Clinic to its brand new office in Community Hub 33. The Leamington office includes a staff of three and
welcomes an average of 10 to 15 patients daily. The larger Windsor location is operated by a team of eight and normally serves between 25 and 30 patients daily. Business hours at the Leamington office are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays and 9 a.m. to noon on Fridays. Appointments can be booked during non-business hours for emergency repairs. The Windsor office prides itself on being available for appointments and emergencies on weekends and holidays.

O
Denture Center patients; all smiles
Along with the Oakville facility, all three ‘The Denture Center’ clinics offer repairs, tooth additions, partials, full-dentures and implant-retained options. More recently, the business began offering leading edge digital dentures, created through an impression of the client’s mouth or existing dentures. Those images are then digitally designed in CAD software and CNC milling is done by the PM7, the world’s most sophisticated machine of its kind; all on-site at the Windsor office. Kukucka, who has been beta-testing/consulting the digital denture process for the past four-and-ahalf years, notes that the newest technology allows for a more uniform, consistent thickness and a more comfortable fit that is easier and faster for clients to become accustomed to. The number of visits for digital dentures is significantly less than the traditional analogue denture. In the event that the digitally-fabricated dentures are lost, replacements
can be milled quickly using the computer design files. When conventional dentures are lost, the fabrication process must start from the first step — the impressions — and typically, the process takes three to four weeks. The Denture Center also offers adjustments, same-day repairs and relines to dentures. Generally, it is suggested that dentures be replaced every seven to ten years. Contrary to popular belief, dentures are not only a prosthetic solution for geriatrics. Dentures or partials are often treatments provided to patients after injuries to the mouth while playing sports, from traffic accidents or medical conditions. The Denture Center strongly encourages clients to schedule regular oral health hygiene checks with their dentists. Routinely, the business works collaboratively in partnerships alongside dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists. For more information on The Denture Center and to book a consultation visit, visit the website www. thedenturecenter.ca or call the Leamington office at 519-326-7391 or Windsor at 519-969-6316.

LEAMINGTON – Measures will be taken to ensure the fueling up of boats at the Leamington Municipal Marina is done safely and environmentally responsibly. Municipal Council voted in favour of a recommendation to contract MWH Petroleum Equipment Inc. of Windsor with the task of replacing the marina’s existing fuel storage and dispensing facilities. The awarded tender will come to an expense of $282,214 plus HST. A request for tender was issued in early March of this year, including a mandatory site meeting for interested contractors on March 20. Three bidding companies attended the meeting and by the Request for Tender’s closure date of April 2, two bids had been received — MWH’s being the only offer
from a compliant source. Upon review of the submitted bids, one complaint arose in regards to minimum requirements that included being a member in good standing with the Ontario Petroleum Contractors Association and status as a licensed petroleum contractor under the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) Liquid Fuels Handling Code. Despite the lack of choices, marina representatives are confident that the cost to execute the project is reasonable. “The submitted bid is competitively priced given the anticipated budget and is reasonable when compared to the non-compliant bid,” noted a report prepared for council by manager of recreation Terry Symons. “This contract will include the complete removal of existing systems and installation

of all new infrastructure.” According to the contract, construction is scheduled to begin at the end of this year’s boating season for the procurement of tanks, dispensers and other required equipment. Although the TSSA conducts inspections on fuel storage and delivery equipment annually and the Leamington Marina has passed these inspections, there have been minor orders issued. The municipality has promptly addressed those orders, but in 2012, the TSSA noted that doublewalled tanks and lines were mandatory. Presently, the municipality’s marina utilizes infrastructure installed in 1985, including singlewalled tanks and lines. Dispensing components within the current system date back as far as 1977, installed by a company that no longer exists. Leamington’s singlewalled systems have been grandfathered by the TSSA, which noted that should future problems occur, the entire fuel storage/delivery system would have to be replaced and meet current standards. The process of removing old lines and installing new ones will hinge on soil sample testing by the contractor, with results provided to the TSSA. Negative results would require additional remediation — with subsequent budget adjustments to be brought before council — while positive results will allow the capping and abandoning of existing lines. Councillor John Jacobs asked if installing new lines would be difficult if old lines were left in place, but was assured by director of community and development services Paul Barnable that the older lines would not be problematic.

Progs golfers finally kick off season LEAMINGTON – The Erie Shores progs golf league finally got in their first rounds on May 14. There were no carts allowed, so anyone who decided to play had to trudge through some soggy ground. Greenskeeper Mike Toth was offering to sell flippers to help members through the sludge. Needless to say, the scores didn’t light up any skies. The total scores for all four teams was -237. The idea is to be in the plus. Leading the plus was new member Jim Chobdra with +4. Tim Tiessen and Mark Wisternoff finished with +2s. On the other hand, the minus scores were as plentiful as smelt in Lake Erie. There were more 6s on the scorecards than in the book of Revelations. Leading the group with -12 were Pete Andary, Ron Koop (with new clubs too), Matt Dick and Gary McRae. With -11 were Frank Gow (dance doesn’t look so bad) and Scott Wilkinson (your dad is so proud). At -10 were Ken ‘not so lucky’ Luxford, Gary Alderson and Kevin Shaften (shafted himself). In the skins game, there were only three skins, each valued at $33. Winners were Bob Dick, Dave Wilkinson (Scott’s envious of you) and Wayne Gillett. The winning team for $10 was Bill Ruiter, Claudio Sabelli, Robert Hudders, Mel Davey, Harry Badz, Dave Wilkinson, Bill Kelly, Gord Anderson, Alden Warner, Geoff Dunmore, Don Gemmell, Barry Miller and Garth Dennerley. The best score for $20 was Jim Chobdra. Tied for second for $12 were Tim Tiessen and Mark Wisternoff. The snake returns. It started with Mel Davey and ended up on Gary Alderson’s bag. So sad.

Local racquetball juniors win national medals Three local youths playing out of the Leamington Recreation Complex participated in Valleyfield, Quebec for this year’s tournament: Zoe Chopchick of Leamington, Kyle Dick of Wheatley and Kelly Marie Barrett of Tecumseh. For Zoe and Kelly Marie, it was their third year participating in the national event and they both scored first trips to the podium this year. It came down to a head-to-head matchup in the girls U-16 division that saw Zoe take the silver medal with a win in a hard fought match against her friend and doubles partner with scores of 15-5 and 15-10. Kelly Marie brought home the bronze medal. The girls finished fourth in the combined U-16-18 doubles division. For Kyle, this was his seventh Junior Nationals. After making his first podium finish in singles with a bronze medal in 2018, he was striving for more, including a spot on the Canadian junior team and a trip to the world championships in Costa Rica in November. Kyle had to play the top seed first, and although he lost, he played well and scored more points than he had in previous meetings. The mission was clear – win the rest of his games and seal his spot on the team. His next match was against an annual rival from Manitoba and as usual, the match went to a tie breaker and Kyle came out on top. On finals day, Saturday, he played his best match of the tournament, winning 15-7 and 15-4 to earn the silver medal for 18-Under athletes in Canada. He will represent Team Canada in Costa Rica in November. Kyle also took home a bronze medal in the U16-18 boys doubles division with partner Christian Pocsai of New Hamburg, Ontario. Team Ontario coaches are proud of the achievements of all our advanced athletes. These three youths all started by participating in the Junior Beginner programs offered through the Leamington Recreation Complex, September through April. Any interested youth are welcome to sign up.

Anthony Fehr led the way for the Barons with three hits. Brett Enns, Curtis Rodriguez, Cat Morin and Lucas Lamotte had two hits each. Rodriguez and Ryan Wall stroked long doubles. Lamotte, Kameron Wall, Morin and Dawson Iles all handled the pitching duties for the Caxton Mark crew. They combined for 10 strikeouts. Defensively, Rodriguez had the play of the game. With bases loaded he stabbed a line shot down the third base line, bounced up and doubled up the Braves runner at second base.

The Special Equestrians Therapeutic Riding Association (SpEqTRA) is hosting its second annual Trivia Night and hopes you’re all up for the challenge. SpEqTRA Trivia Night takes place on Saturday, June 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Leamington Marina Pavilion, 90 Robson Rd. The evening will feature fun, food and prizes, so grab your friends and join in the fun while testing your knowledge on a variety of topics. You’ll be surprised at what you know! There will be cash awards for the top finishers. Call 519-322-2463 to register a team, and don’t forget to have a team name ready. Volunteers help is also needed. All proceeds will go toward supporting SpEqTRA’s therapeutic riding program. Research has shown the beneficial results therapeutic riding provides in rehabilitation following stroke, head injury and traumatic brain damage and has shown critical improvements in the treatment of mental health issues and learning disabilities through the human-animal bonding process. The horse provides rhythmical, multidimensional movement that facilitates many changes in the rider, improving balance, coordination, muscle strength, muscle tone, self-confidence and self-esteem, attention span, independence and social integration. SpEqTRA provides individual programming focusing on individual achievements, meeting each participant at their level of ability and encouraging them to reach new goals. The SpEqTRA program is offered at Windsor Farms Equine Centre, 528 Mersea Rd. 7, Leamington.

WORD SCRAMBLE
Jim Ross’s 1955 Corvette parked on Morgan Avenue in Leamington.
Fond memories of a 1955 Corvette Former Leamington mayor Jim Ross was in his early 20s around 1958 when he spotted a black 1955 Corvette on a used car lot on Giles Avenue in nearby Windsor. Jim recognized the car as having belonged to Jim Kimmerly, who lived between Harrow and Kingsville and often drove the car to Leamington. The used car lot wanted $3,500 for the car and Jim bought it with some help from his mom. He drove it to Lloyd Thomas’s body shop in Wheatley, Bill Sherk where the car was repainted silver. The first Corvette arrived in 1953 with a Chevrolet six-cylinder engine fitted with triple carbs, a highlift cam and high compression which boosted the horsepower to 150. The body was fibreglass and the transmission was a two-speed Powerglide. Only 315 were built that first year. And only 674 Corvettes were built in 1955, even though they had the new Chevrolet V8 under the hood with 265 cubic inches producing up to 195 horsepower. Only five of these were imported into Canada. A floor-mounted stick shift was available but Jim’s Corvette had the automatic. It also had dual exhausts with very noisy mufflers along with a radio and heater and an after-market beige cloth top which stayed home whenever the sun was shining. There were no exterior door handles but entry was gained by reaching in and pulling on a cable. The windows consisted of plastic side curtains and it had a wrap-around windshield in keeping with the style at that time. The car was fun to drive and Jim drove it to Toronto twice, where he attended the Canadian National Exhibition. The car was trouble-free and had only one problem: “I sold it!” Jim traded it at Red Brown’s used car lot on Erie Street North in Leamington for a 1957 Chev Bel Air with room for more passengers. After the trade-in, Jim never saw the Corvette again. Considering how rare it was, there’s an excellent chance that car is still around. And rust was never a problem with a fibreglass body. We are hoping the person who bought it from Red Brown will read this story and get in touch. Stay tuned!

Talbot Trail senior golf By Bob McLean
WHEATLEY – Talbot Trail senior golf league had 49 seniors challenging the TT course on May 14. The players either had to walk or ride on the cart paths. The excessive rainfall all spring has resulted in the fairways and rough accumulating too much H2O. Manager Caleb
Pratt doesn’t want anyone doing rain dances in the near future. The outside crew has been very busy cutting the grass at every opportunity provided to them. The greens are in terrific shape so no one has any excuse for poor putting. The top three excellent

scores were fired by Arqy 39, Joe Drummond 40 and Mike Wright 42. Others who earned results of 45 or less were Bill Ward, Ron McCracken, Bob McLean, Jim Pearson, Randy Nash, Dutchy and Joe Vertel. One of the league’s favourite super seniors, Scotty Westrop, achieved a spectacular 49. Over 20 golfers enjoyed the delicious, barbecued sausage or hamburger perfectly prepared by chef Bummy Omstead. Thanks, Jim! The closest to the pin on #9 was won by league newcomer Larry Hyatt. Larry’s shot ended up 12 feet from the pin. Bobo captured the long putt on #2 when he drained a 10 footer. There were more golfers who signed in on May 14 and many more are expected as the weather warms up, dries out the course and allows the carts to travel more randomly about. Do you know the rules that are being adapted this year? We’ll look at these in the future. Have fun as you knock the white sphere about the course in the week’s ahead!

The Ride of Silence Wavie and Brad Webster of the Leamington Salvation Army ring in the amount owing for a customer at Sweet Retreat for an annual fundraiser Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018. All ice cream sales at the local business were donated to the Salvation Army to help stock its food banks for the Community Family Services program. Next month, the Websters will be departing from Leamington to take on duties with the Salvation Army branch in Sarnia. (Southpoint Sun File Photo)
KINGSVILLE – About 40 cyclists joined together for the Ride of Silence on Wednesday, May 15, heading out from the Banded Goose Brewery. The cyclists joined others worldwide in a 13-kilometre silent ride to honour those injured or killed on public roadways. The event, held for the first time in Kingsville this year, was organized by Dr. Charles Morgan of the BgB Cycle Club, and sponsored by the club, Movati Kingsville and the Share the Road program. Prior to the ride, Kingsville Councillor Thomas Neufeld read the official Ride of Silence poem to signal the start of the ride. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Websters departing for Sarnia
Local company earns sewer project contract
By Bryan Jessop
Another chapter in the story of Leamington’s Salvation Army is drawing to a close. After a term of just under three years, Leamington Salvation Army pastors and Lieutenants Brad and Wavie Webster will be transferring to the hub of Lambton County in Sarnia. The Websters’ last day of service in Leamington will be Thursday, June 27 before making the 132 km northward trip to Sarnia, effective the following day. There, they will join that city’s Salvation Army to take on the same duties as church pastors and Community Family Service directors. They will also oversee the operation of the Salvation Army’s Thrift Store in Sarnia. Brad and Wavie Webster first arrived in Leamington July 3, 2016 for their first appointment to Community Family Services. Prior to making the Tomato Capital their home, the husband and wife duo attended the College for Officer Training in Winnipeg for a two-year period starting in August of 2014. They were first informed of their relocation to Sarnia in late April of this year and have since been making preparations for the new Leamington Salvation Army pastors by creating a document listing community partners and other local connec“We’ve been so tions. blessed with all the Leamington’s next Salvation Army pastors and ofrelationships we’ve ficers will be Captain Phoungern Sombounkhanh and made, from his wife Captain Oudaovanh Sombounkhanh, who are corporations to making the journey from their present location of the clients.” Hamilton Laotian Corps in Hamilton, Ont. — Brad Webster “We just want to get everything ready for the incoming officers so they can hit the ground running,” Brad Webster explained. At the national level, The Salvation Army prefers to arrange for appointments of officers ranging from three to five years in length. In early July of 2016, the Websters replaced Corey and Charlene Vincent, who departed from Leamington’s Salvation Army on Setterington Street for an appointment to the SA in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. Brad explained that relocations can be directed at any time to any location, often based on the experiences and abilities of officers that have developed and become needed elsewhere. Brad explained that he and Wavie will be leaving Leamington with a very positive impression of the community, from where he said they’ve witnessed a flurry of generosity over the past 36 months from businesses, outside organizations, individuals and volunteers. “This is a very welcoming community — we felt welcomed the first day we arrived here,” Brad said. “This past Christmas was something that I will never forget. Eightytwo families were adopted and to see the generosity that time of year was just incredible. It’ll always stand out to me. I’ve lived in Toronto, Kitchener and Winnipeg and I’ve never experienced this kind of close-knit community.” Brad also noticed that he and Wavie have felt blessed by the involvement in supporting Salvation Army objectives from Leamington-area schools. He noted that several schools have not only embarked upon can drives to support the SA food bank, but have also visited the facility for tours and learn about how the organization functions and the services it provides. “We’ve been so blessed with all the relationships we’ve made, from corporations to clients,” Brad stated. “We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts.”

At a submitted bid of just under $262,000 not including HST, Kingsville-based Liqui-Force Services Inc. has been awarded a contract to perform a full inspection and cleaning of the LPCC’s sewer line. The pipe runs from the Seacliff Drive plant near Seneca Road to its open/discharge end more than three quarters of a kilometre into Lake Erie waters. The outfall sewer sends treated wastewater through 1.2 km of concrete pipe, which increases in diameter as it nears the lake. Running parallel to the nearby Selkirk Drain, the sewer was installed in the nearly 1960s and has yet to be inspected fully. Five manholes were installed in 2015 to gain inspection access at certain points along the pipe and to allow the removal of sediment and vegetation buildup. Such buildup is believed to be contributing to the LPCC’s inability to discharge peak flow rates. Liqui-Force was one of three contractors to submit an initial bid after the project was re-tendered in August of last year. Admin-

on the condition that such a practice cease during storm events and that peak flow be routed through the outfall sewer as designed. Tenders were received by the municipality in September of last year, but the project could not be undertaken at the time, as the winning/ lowest bid came in above the approved budget. Additionally, because bypass pumping into the Selkirk Drain can only take place from July to October, there was insufficient time for cleaning and inspection to take place during the balance of 2018. Administration requested that Liqui-Force honour its tendered offer until up to December of 2019, to which the company agreed. “The submission received by Liqui-Force Services met all of the required specifications and the company is well known in the industry,” noted the report from Belleau. With HST and $10,000 allotted for a tenders review by Jacobs Engineering Group and dive services to be conducted by Watech to inspect the stone crib structure around the pipe’s underwater exit point, the project will come out to a cost of $266,553. This amount comes in $123,447 under the capital budget. That balance will be set aside to cover additional bypassing costs and any sewer repairs identified as necessary through the inspection.

istration first issued a tender about a year earlier, but interested contractors noted that an unknown volume of water being sent through the pipe during normal LPCC conditions and during storm events made it difficult to calculate a suitable cost. Liqui-Force and the other guideline-compliant contractor, based in Brantford, both reduced their bids after two of the tasks from within the project contract were deemed unnecessary and removed by the municipality. The revised Liqui-Force bid came in about $62,000 lower than its initial offering and more than $193,000 less than the reduced quote from the Brantford company. Councillor John Jacobs inquired about the difference between quotes, to which manager of environmental services Shannon Belleau explained LiquiForce will cap the pipe at both ends to conduct the cleaning process while other contractors instead perform a higher volume of pumping through the system. “It all depends on the approach they decide to take, and the approach LiquiForce takes makes sense to us,” Belleau said. The re-tendered version of the project allowed bypass pumping into the Selkirk Drain under normal operating conditions — approved by ERCA and Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP)

Youth housing project to begin soon By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – The second component of what started off as an idea is on the verge of becoming reality. The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource Centre’s 10-unit transitional housing project, known as Phase 2, officially kicked off with a groundbreaking ceremony at the site Friday, May 17. The Bridge executive director Krista Rempel and president George Bergen utilized the gathering as an opportunity to thank the project’s main contributors — the Quiring family and Grossi Construction — for funding Phase 2 to the tune of about $1 million and $150,000, respectively. “We’re so excited for the opportunity to start this phase sooner than expected,” Rempel said, noting that thanks to the Quirings and Grossis, the approximately $1.2 million re-
quired to fund the project is now accounted for. “We’re just so happy that we get to come out here and get to this level,” Bergen added just prior to the groundbreaking ceremony while explaining that the donations are putting Phase 2 scheduling ahead by about 12 months. “We had a lot of hope that we would find collaboration and we’re glad to say we’re getting that collaboration.” The Bridge announced the development of Phase 2 in early February of this year. It was then declared that the new facility will be dubbed the Quiring Family – Fresh Start Housing. Once completed, the building will provide temporary, transitional housing with single units for 10 youths during their search for permanent accommodations. The building will be situated on what is now the southwest corner of The Bridge’s park-
ing lot and measure 60 ft. by 90 ft. for 5,400 sq. ft. of interior space. Grossi Construction will oversee the entire process of construction, likely to begin in early June. Anthony Grossi explained that the project will take roughly six months to complete, which would schedule an opening date of November, 2019. “When I heard about the project and who it was with, I just felt that it would be something great to be involved with,” Grossi explained. “Being blessed to have a family with three healthy boys, I thought it was unfortunate to see youths in our area who aren’t so lucky. This makes sense and it feels right. To be able to work with Peter is fantastic.” “It’ll be fantastic to see shovels in the ground and the bricks and steel arriving,” said Peter Quiring, who attended the ceremony with his wife Cathy. “The
From left to right, The Bridge president George Bergen, executive director Krista Rempel, Peter Quiring of NatureFresh Farms and Anthony Grossi of Grossi Construction perform a groundbreaking ceremony for The Quiring Family - Fresh Start Housing facility immediately east of The Bridge on Sherk Street Friday, May 17. The Quiring family donated approximately $1 million to the project — known as Phase 2 — while Grossi Construction donated about $150,000. Construction on the new 10-unit transitional housing facility will likely begin in early June and be completed by November of this year. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
need is great and we feel the responsibility to be good corporate citizens. Hopefully, this will inspire others in the community to step forward and be a part of it. It’s our commitment to make Leamington a better place.” Through NatureFresh
Farms and South Essex Fabricating, the Quirings have a history of donating to local shelters and food banks. Currently, construction is underway at NatureFresh Farms Field, the new outdoors sports complex at Leamington District Sec-
ondary School. With pavement now in place, it is estimated that the football/ soccer field, rubberized running track and other amenities of the site will be completed by the time the 2019-’20 school year begins in September.

LEAMINGTON – It seems that the residents of Leamington don’t want to be caught off guard in the event of an emergency situation. In recognition of Emergency Preparedness Week, a variety of public service organizations converged on the main foyer of the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex to offer insight on how to be ready for natural or non-natural situations. The Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army, Leamington Fire Services, Sun Parlour Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) and the Ministry of Children’s Community and Social Services’ Emergency Management Unit took part in the eight-hour event, held Tuesday, May 7. Together, the organizations offered advice on how to fill 72-hour emergency kits, which the Ministry’s Western Region management officer Beth Pelletier, based in London, offered to visitors free of charge. Less than half way through the gathering, Pelletier ran out of English versions of a waterproof Emergency Document Holder intended to store records including recent family photos, copies of medical records, birth certificates, prescriptions, pet information, wills, insurance policies and other items that could be useful to emergency response personnel. “We’ve had a really good response,” explained Leamington Fire Service deputy chief Mike Ciacelli. “We’ve talked to a lot of people and they’re asking about a lot of different situations.” Pelletier noted that the Emergency Management Unit also “We’ve talked to focuses on protecting the province’s senior a lot of people and populations. they’re asking about “We set out to safea lot of different guard Ontario’s most situations.” vulnerable,” she explained. “We try to get — Mike that group of people as Ciacelli prepared as possible.” The event also served as an opportunity for visitors to sign up for the Leamington Alert System, a service that sends emergency situation information to users’ cell phones, tablets, email addresses and other means of communication. Referred to as the EverBridge Mass Notification System, the service can send messages to specific neighbourhoods that are potentially vulnerable to emergency scenarios. Users of the system can also receive notifications about possible emergencies in other communities they are visiting at the time. “If you’re in Chicago and there’s a tornado threat there, you can be notified,” explained Ciacelli. The EverBridge service, which Ciacelli noted is not to be confused with Amber Alert systems, has been designed locally with contacts groups that include the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) and Windsor-Essex Public Health Unit. The system is used internally by emergency response groups across the county and can issue warnings about situations ranging from boil water advisories to nuclear emergencies from facilities including Fermi 2. Registration for the local alert service is accessible through www.leamington.ca/alerts, calling 519-326-6291 or visiting the Leamington Municipal office at 111 Erie St. North.
