It was an exhausting weekend, but board members for the Hogs for Hospice didn’t sleep in Monday morning or sit back and pat themselves on the backs for a job well done. Instead, they headed to the place the weekend was all about—the Erie Shores Hospice. Joe Oswald, Benji Mastronardi, Donny Pacheco, Brian Cornies, Tim Iles, Dave Hodare, Scott Taylor and their spouses visited the hospice to thank the volunteers, hand out t-shirts and visit with the patients and their families. Exhausted but still riding high on adrenaline, Oswald said there are really no words to describe just how awesome the weekend turned out. “It was absolutely fantastic on all levels,” he said. And Oswald attributed much of its success to an army of over 500 volunteers — and Mother Nature. He said despite planning year round, the weath-

er is something they have absolutely no control over. But Oswald said someone was definitely looking out for them, once again, with near picture perfect weather. Already responsible for raising over half a million dollars from previous years, the proceeds from this year’s event have yet to be finalized, but it is almost certainly a record-breaking year. And Oswald credits their tremendously generous sponsors and supportive community for making the event so successful. He said Dominos Canada has once again come through for the community. Oswald said Dominos Canada and Benji and Chris Mastronardi of Double Diamond Farms were the signature sponsors for this year’s concerts — Vince Neil, Buck Cherry, Chris Janson and Eric Etheridge.

Sun Parlour Rodeo 2019 Left - Junior bull riding was the second featured category of the 18th annual Sun Parlour Rodeo near Ruthven Saturday, Aug. 3. Between 5,000 and 6,000 spectators in total attended the two-day event on either Saturday and/or Sunday. The amount of money raised was still being tabulated by press deadline. Stephanie Pavao of the rodeo’s founding family explained that local sponsors — some who’ve supported the event since its inception — were again generous contributors along with the region’s general public. Pavao and the rest of the rodeo’s committee are in the process of selecting the charitable organization that will benefit from this year’s proceeds.

Hogs For Hospice greeted with overwhelming support (Continued from front) On top of local generosity, Oswald said Sarnia native and up and coming country star Etheridge donated his personal fee back to the event as well. “He just wanted to make sure his band got paid,” said Oswald. Oswald said all four bands lauded the municipality, the crowds and the waterfront venue. In fact, Janson brought his own videographer along to capture the show and has since made a promotional video showcasing the Leamington event. It is featured on his Instagram account. And he said it was the Mastronardi brothers’ Double Diamond Farms that covered the costs for veterans for the entire weekend, including the ride and concert entrance fees. In return, Oswald said the brothers were recognized for their generosity by the veterans on stage. For Oswald, there were too many highlights to single out one — “there were just so many moments,” he said. With over 2,000 riders, resulting in a 45-minute procession as they headed out on their ride from Seacliff Park, Oswald was visibly emotional as the final bike departed. But it was the welcome by Wheatley that had him overwhelmed. “The town of Wheatley dropped everything they were doing to welcome the riders,” said Oswald. Riders stopped in Wheatley for about 90 minutes to peruse eateries and other businesses while their bikes were displayed primarily on Talbot and Erie Streets, stemming in all four directions from the main intersection. Then there was the donation of a 2019 Harley Davidson by the owner of Vulcan, raising $65,000 through a raffle headed up by Bob’s Biker Games. And, of course, the concerts. The feedback on this year’s entertainment was phenomenal, with over 10,000 people singing and dancing at the amphitheatre over the two nights. With an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 visitors in and out of the park throughout the weekend, Oswald and his group will take the next two weeks to rest up, soak it all in and rest their voices before tackling next year’s Hogs for Hospice weekend.

Mine your own business If there has ever been a proverbial measuring stick to gauge how quickly you’re ageing, that gauge would be technology. Against my better judgment, I put a formidable dent in my bank account by purchasing a Play Station 4 for my son’s eighth birthday. He’s been asking for a “system” for a few years now and I guess I more or less caved in to the pressure. I justified the purchase (to both myself and my wife) by bringing to light the fact that my parents bought me an Atari 2600 when I was roughly the same age. I remember the Atari’s controller (we called them JESSOP’S “joysticks” back then) fondly. It was a square-ish base one button and one stick. The lower right corner JOURNAL with of said base burrowed into the palm of your right hand Bryan Jessop like it was digging for treasure and after about 30-40 minutes of trying to slay three dragons that looked like grumpy, wingless ducks (“Adventure”) with a sword that looked more like a rudimentary arrow, the cramping became almost unbearable. The PS4 controller, while far more ergonomically accommodating, is not exactly easy to master. The button count is 17 — 19 once you realize that the TWO sticks can be pushed downward to utilize functions that are at this point still well beyond my comprehension. One of the three games we bought is THE game our boy has obsessed about for many, many months. He’s got his share of toys and Lego sets based on this game and has watched countless hours on YouTube of obnoxious ‘gamers’ playing it. Some of them have even achieved celebrity status of sorts, including one who goes by the name “Unspeakable.” When not engaged in a spirited video game adventure, he’s known to pass time by throwing random household objects into the running blades of a large, industrial fan. Anyway, that game is Minecraft. The premise is as simple as its graphics — build and create stuff (including your own home) by day and slaughter zombies, skeletons, Endermen, Ghasts, Creepers, Whithers and giant spiders by night. There are various “modes” of the game, including “Creative” and “Survival.” The former is about as realistic as a Vin Diesel movie, where your character is immortal (not to mention capable of flight), supplies, weapons and tools are in endless supply and you can instantly bring to life practically any creature imaginable. Wanna practice slaying Zombie Pigmen (they usually inhabit “The Nether,” a subterranean rendition of hell accessible through portals where lava abounds)? Just “spawn” a bunch and introduce them to your diamond sword. “Survival” is far more believable — the aforementioned monsters can kill you (they’re smarter and more aggressive than their “Creative” dopplegangers), you can drown, suffer injury or death by falling from formidable heights… even eating is necessary. You essentially start out with nothing but the clothes on your back and must “earn” the tools, materials and weapons required to… well, survive. In “Creative,” I’ve managed to build my own living quarters — a modular, slab sided structure of stone cubes complete with wall-mounted torches and an iron door. Earlier, my son built me a home that includes a fridge, indoor pool, wood flooring, a pet dog named “Woofers” and kitchen cabinets fitted with towel bars that are in turn equipped with towels to match the orange blankets on the bed. In obvious disapproval of the home I built myself, he (my kid, not Woofers) blew up a large section of its back wall with cubes of TNT while I was out “mob” hunting. In “Challenge” mode (that’s what I call it), you can battle head-to-head against friends. Having ramped up the PS4’s security settings so that interaction with strangers is impossible, I felt obligated to accept a few matches against the 4’ 2” version of myself. Needless to say, I didn’t last long. Before I could so much as figure out how to open one of the chests containing weapons, I was done in by an iron sword. Sadly, it takes me an eternity to adapt to newfangled tech. My parents can navigate an iPad with far greater efficiency than I’ll ever achieve. I still refuse to purchase a vehicle with touchscreen controls in the dash. As for the PS4? I understand it has retro games like Pac Man and Galaga that could one day grant me some video game redemption.

Second fire prevention officer contract extended
CK Plowing Match is this Saturday
By Bryan Jessop
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance’s (CKHA) Women and Children’s Program received a donation of Mason Power Poles from the Fight Like Mason Foundation on July 30. Pictured from left to right: Janice Wilmott, Director, Women and Children’s Program; Gail Slack, Clinical Manager, Women and Children’s Program; Iain Macri, Fight Like Mason Foundation; Chantelle Bacon, President, Fight Like Mason Foundation; Dr. Wendy Edwards, Chief of Paediatrics; and Sara Gee, Registered Nurse. (Submitted Photo)
Mason Power Poles donated CKHA’s Paediatric Unit CHATHAM-KENT – Chatham-Kent Health Alliance’s (CKHA) youngest patients receiving care on the Paediatric Unit will now have their choice of five customized “Mason Power Poles” thanks to a generous donation from the Fight Like Mason Foundation. Displaying fun, vibrant and colourful designs, these special IV poles give children receiving care in hospital and at home a sense of comfort during their journeys in the medical world. Formed by Iain Macri and Chantelle Bacon, the Fight Like Mason Foundation carries on the legacy of their beloved son Mason Bacon-Macri who was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma on May 4, 2015 at the age of two. Fight Like Mason’s mission is to improve treatment, care, quality of life and awareness of patients diagnosed with childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma and other childhood cancers. Along with raising funds for childhood cancer research, Fight Like Mason strives to give children who are receiving treatment in hospitals and at home medical equipment that shows how brave and courageous they are. Sara Gee, Registered Nurse in the Pediatric Unit at CKHA, reached out to Fight Like Mason after hearing about their inspiring work at surrounding regional hospitals and knew these special IV poles would be a welcome addition to the unit. “Fight Like Mason is so happy to be able donate to and provide the paediatric services at CKHA with the world’s only custom IV poles!” said Chantelle Bacon, President, Fight Like Mason Foundation. “Our Mason Power Poles are designed with the spirit of our superhero Mason, to brighten up the hospital room and allow children with illness to be proud of their battles.” The Mason Power Poles were inspired by Mason’s experience when he left the hospital for the final time and returned home with his family to receive palliative care. When several pieces of medical equipment were brought into the home and set up, Mason’s warm and safe haven had become a hospital-like environment. His functional hospital bed and IV pole, among other pieces of equipment, were a reminder of the countless hospital stays and treatments he had endured. After this, Chantelle and Iain came up with the idea to create fun and colourful IV poles to help other children going through similar experiences. “In the spirit of Fight Like Mason, these special IV poles will give our youngest patients something to smile about when they are facing what can seem like a daunting hospital visit,” said Lisa Northcott, Vice President, Chief Nursing Executive & Chief Professional Practice, CKHA. “Thank you to Chantelle, Iain and their team at Fight Like Mason for this generous contribution to our Paediatric Unit.”
LEAMINGTON – A busy schedule for Leamington Fire Services has prompted council to lengthen the contract for one of its newer positions. Leamington Fire Services chief Andrew Baird approached municipal council during its Tuesday, July 23 meeting to request an extension of employment for the LFS’s second Fire Prevention Officer (FPO). The request received unanimous approval, bringing the position to a completion date of December 31, 2019. Previously, the contract had been extended up to July 31 of this year. The report highlighting the contract extension proposal noted that the second FPO was originally hired to accommodate a schedule that included several business licensing applications. The individual assigned to the position also assisted with fire inspections across the municipality to determine if commercial buildings, vulnerable occupancies and apartment complexes complied with the fire code. Additionally, the second FPO was involved with public education, station tours and burn permit applications including site inspections. Baird noted that with new construction and growth comes the need for more inspections, plan reviews and follow ups to ensure code compliance is met. Fire safety planning and inspection is also required for public events including Leamington Fair, Ribfest, Mill Street Markets and others. With one FPO, 84 fire inspections were conducted in Leamington through 2017 and another 189 in 2018. With two FPOs, 488 inspections were conducted from January to June of this year. In addition, 121 safety plan reviews, five fire investigations and two OPP grow op assists were conducted in that same time frame. “I think we’re making tremendous strides,” Baird explained after presenting the report, also noting that it has been “extremely difficult” to complete all LFS duties with only one full-time inspector. Members of council expressed sentiments supporting the chief’s statement. “The second person is well worth putting in place,” said Councillor John Hammond. The extension of the six-month contract into the end of the current calendar year will come at an extra cost of $41,000 over what the 2019 budget allocated for the first LEAMINGTON half of the year. The newest extension will be funded via the 2019 insurance premium savings.

After spending several hours at a police station convincing those authorities of how and why he came to arrive in Thailand, Phoungern and his fellow students were given food and turned over to a Laotian resistance group fighting against communist forces. For the following yearand-a-half, he served as a rebel fighter. By then, Phoungern was convinced he was struggling in an unwinnable cause. “I was misled by defectors — we didn’t have enough weapons,” he explained. “Every time we went in, another friend got killed. I realized I had to quit before it was my turn.” From there, Phoungern arrived at the same Thai refugee camp where Oudaovanh had arrived a few years earlier. The three kilometre-square camp — rife with disease and hunger — contained 50,000 people divided into several sections. Phoungern was placed in charge of a section occupied by 3,000 people, including Oudaovanh. The two met in 1978 and married the next year. Phoungern later offered to volunteer assistance to a Canadian immigration officer who arrived from Bangkok. Impressed with his work, the officer offered the Sombounkhanhs the opportunity to immigrate to Canada. In early February of 1980, they arrived at Mirabel Airport in Montreal along with a group of other refugees. With a chuckle, Phoungern recalled the group departing

In Laos, the coldest it gets is 15 degrees in January. At that time, everyone stays around fires to keep warm until the sun comes up.” After arriving in Canada and initially moving to Brantford, Oudaovanh described a moment meeting a kind, elderly neighbour who suggested accepting Jesus Christ as her savior. She described the encounter as a positive turning point in a life that had up to that point, been filled with fear, loneliness and uncertainty.

zation’s services. “We didn’t know what it was at first,” Phoungern said with a laugh. “We thought it was a part of the army for soldiers who were injured and couldn’t do their regular duties anymore. A lot of people don’t know that the Salvation Army’s history comes from the church. That’s where it started.” Although typical Corps Officer roles are performed from four to five years per community, the Sombounkhanhs served with the Laotian Corps in Hamilton for 16 years because of the challenges in finding other officers who could speak both Laotian and English. “Where ever the Lord calls us to go, we’ll go there,” Phoungern explained. “If He wants us to stay for seven years, we will. Where ever we go, we go with the love of Jesus Christ.” “We encourage people to keep hope and encourage them to give,” added Oudaovanh. “I love it here in Leamington. It’s a beautiful town and the people are very nice.” Shortly after arriving, the couple met Leamington Fire
Services chief Andrew Baird and deputy chief Mike Ciacelli. They also plan to visit retirement homes around the area and look forward to opportunities to speak to school groups. Later this month, on August 28, they will lead the back to school backpack program in partnership with Staples, distributing backpacks filled with school supplies for Leamington-area families in need. The service will operate out of the 88 Setterington Street office from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on a first come, first serve basis. Although their duties in Leamington will be similar to those from their 16 years in Hamilton, the food bank service is new to the Sombounkhanhs. “You can’t tell what someone’s life is about just by looking at them. You start to learn about that when they come in need of food and clothes,” Phoungern explained. “We’re blessed in Canada to be able to share what we have, so that’s what we encourage people to do. We’re happy to see that people are generous in Leamington.”

Council to review picnic shelter fees for Leamington’s schools By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Leamington Municipal Council is considering the fact that the rental fees for a Seacliff Park facility is no ‘picnic’ for local elementary school budgets. A request to have the cost of renting the picnic shelter near the western perimeter of the park relinquished was approved by council during its Tuesday, July 23 meeting. Recently, administration received the request from principal Bill Cervini on behalf of Gore Hill Public School to have the fees waived for a three-hour rental term dating back to June 24 of this year. In the early stages of the discussion period, members of council echoed sentiments as included in the report that such fees are necessary for multiple reasons. “Consistency in application of Council approved fees is important. If fees are waived for one school, they should likely be waived for all schools,” the report noted. “The request will inevitably be extended to other
non-profits and charities, including out of town schools, private schools, charities, religious organizations and special interest non-profits.” However, council members took into consideration Cervini’s suggestion that a monetary deposit be accepted as payment and then refunded to the school if there is no damage caused to the facility or need for excessive clean up. The report explains that the rental fee for the picnic shelter/pavilion at Seacliff Park is “minimal” and “affordable,” but Cervini noted that such costs are more of a burden to some groups than others. “We’re asking for this to apply to Leamington schools only — schools from other towns have their own facilities,” the Gore Hill principal explained. “It may be a small fee, but for a school budget, it’s a lot of money.” Prior to this year, the fee was a flat $100 daily rate for non-profit use and $200 per day for commercial purposes. Starting in January, those rates were altered to $15 per hour plus HST for citizens and non-profit groups and

$30 per hour plus HST for business/commercial use. The change addresses the fact that hourly rates leave the shelter open for use by other groups later or earlier in the same day. Councillor Tim Wilkinson suggested a motion to have the Seacliff Park picnic shelter fee waived exclusively for Leamington schools, which others members of council supported. “I’d be willing to give Leamington schools a pass on this,” noted Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “I’d like to see our schools getting a break.” Both director of finance and business services Laura Rauch and CAO Peter Neufeld explained that the motion to replace the fee for Leamington schools with a refundable deposit could be addressed and decided upon by council at a later date. For the time being, council voted to approve of Cervini’s request to waive the fee pertaining to Gore Hill’s June 24 usage of the shelter/ pavilion. Had the fee waiver request been denied for Gore Hill’s most recent use of the facility, the cost would have come out to $50.85 including taxes. Each year, the shelter generates $5,000 in revenue, which the municipality uses to cover a portion of staffing expenses to clean and maintain the facility. Cervini also noted that Gore Hill — and likely other local schools — does not use the shelter during the busy months of July and August because of the yearly summer break.
A retirement gathering for Linda Tiessen, known as Celebrating 42 Years of Giving, was held at Oxley Estate Winery on Thursday, July 25. It was attended by 200 guests and included family, friends and those who Linda has worked with at three workplaces – UMEI Christian High School, South Essex Community Council and the Leamington Mennonite Home. Pictured from left to right are Linda’s husband Hugo Tiessen, Linda Tiessen, their son Greg Tiessen and daughter-in-law Amanda Tiessen. (Photo by Marelin Enns)
Retirement Open House for Linda Tiessen LEAMINGTON – Several hundred guests celebrated the 42 years of service given to the community and area by Linda Tiessen. Tiessen is transitioning into retirement as the past Administrator of the Leamington Mennonite Home and Community of Care where she has developed facilities and models of care serving over 300 seniors. The home now offers multiple levels of care and accommodations to seniors and the frail elderly. Tiessen came to the Leamington Mennonite Home in 1998 after working as Principal of the UMEI Christian High School and Executive Director of the South Essex Community Council. At the celebration honouring her 42 years of work in the not-for-profit charitable sector, Tiessen explained that, “The work of a principal of a high school, executive director of a community social service agency and an administrator of a home and community of care for seniors, may not appear to have that much in common, but they all have one focus – to change the lives of people and empower them to have better quality of life.” Tiessen went on to say that over the years, she has been inspired by the generosity of the community, which has sustained community projects, programs and services, many of which were the first in the region and province. “And the generosity,” she explained, “was demonstrated through donations, personal time and resources by volunteers, and the creativity and dedication of staff and board members.” Tiessen thanked the many volunteers who had supported projects and the community causes for which she had worked. “It has been uplifting to see the things that can become a reality when we work together,” she said. The biggest thanks Tiessen expressed was to her family. Her husband Hugo has contributed significantly over the years for the causes his wife Linda has led, and son Gregory has also been involved in fundraising and local board work for many years. Providing constant encouragement, support and volunteer help were Tiessen’s parents, Irene and Richard Dyck, who were also at the celebration to cheer her contributions. When asked how she would spend her extra time in the future, Tiessen’s response was quick and decisive – with her family, which includes daughter-in-law Amanda and grandchildren Zachary and Larissa. The Tiessens established the HL Tiessen Foundation in 2018, a charitable corporation and charity to support local charities. Last year, $20,000 was distributed to five organizations and this year the charity hopes to raise the same amount of funds with a distribution to Leamington Mennonite Home, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners, UMEI Christian High School and The Bridge Youth Resource Centre.

Police cracking down on Move Over Law ONTARIO – The Ontario Provincial Police are concerned by the number of drivers who ignore Ontario’s Move Over Law and put police, other emergency personnel and tow truck drivers at risk on the roadside. The OPP laid 1,891 charges last year against drivers who failed to slow down and move over, marking one of the highest number of annual OPP charges for this offence since the law was enacted in 2003. According to OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique, “There have been close to 700 incidents in the past five years in which an OPP vehicle was struck by another vehicle while parked or stopped on the roadside.” The law requires drivers to slow down and move over if safe to do so for all tow trucks, police, ambulance and fire emergency vehicles with their emergency lights activated. The OPP has laid more than 9,000 Move Over charges in the last five years.
LEAMINGTON – Within budget or not, municipal council decided that upgrades for the Leamington Pollution Control Centre had better take place sooner than later. Manager of environmental services Shannon Belleau created a report for council recommending a contract be awarded to replace components for the two generators at the Pollution Control Centre despite the bottom-line cost coming in more than $90,000 over the allocated budget. The two emergency generators are designed to provide back up power to the centre in the event of power outages, but cannot have their diesel fuel tanks refilled until specific parts are replaced. Fuel suppliers for the generators are only permitted to fill the tanks when they meet Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) guidelines. Following a request to have the tanks refilled with fuel last year, suppliers indicated that both generators at the LPCC reveal conditions that do not meet TSSA standards. “There is urgency to bring these generators into compliance with current TSSA standards so that the operation of the LPCC is not compromised during a power failure as a result of having no fuel and to allow routine generator testing “We have to do to continue,” the everything all at report to council indicated. once or we won’t Alterations to get our Generator #1 — tanks filled.” which serves the preliminary treat— Shannon ment process, UV Belleau disinfection and administration buildings — will include the replacement of both exterior and interior fuel tanks. It will also be fitted with new fuel pumps, piping system and control panel, fire stop valves, flexible fuel lines and a failed damper alarm system. Generator #2 — serving the primary and secondary treatment processes — will also receive new fire stop valves, flexible fuel lines and a failed damper alarm system as well as secondary containment tank venting. Afterwards, both generator exhaust systems will be subject to pressure testing and once the project is completed, the contractor will recommission both generators and complete a fuel certification report. The project to upgrade the two generator tanks began with tenders being released in May of this year. Two submissions were received later that month, although one was deemed non-compliant and was rejected. As a result, Haller Mechanical Contractors Inc. of Windsor offered the only suitable bid, although its $264,500 price tag — excluding HST — came in $154,500 over budget. Municipal administration and Dillon Consulting Ltd. met with Haller Mechanical to review the details of the bid’s pricing and after eliminating components deemed unnecessary to meet TSSA standards, the price was reduced to $172,700 — $91,800 less than the contractor’s original quote. After adding fees for administration and Dillon’s services along with HST, the project’s cost will come out to $200,670 for a total of $90,670 over budget. Deputy-Mayor Larry Verbeke inquired about the possibility of natural gas generators to avoid similar problems in the future, which Belleau explained would be costlier, noting that the entire system would have to be replaced. She also explained that diesel fuel is more readily available in case of emergencies and stated that the upgrades outlined in the report must be done simultaneously. “We have to do everything all at once or we won’t get our tanks filled,” Belleau noted. Among the report’s recommendations to council was to compensate for the budget overrun by funneling funds from the Maintenance Building Expansion capital budget for 2019. In doing so, about $159,000 will remain in place for the construction of an independent storage structure. The Maintenance Building Expansion project was scrapped for this year after quotes from their consultants came in at more than double the allocated budget. The LPCC may still pursue the construction of a simplified storage facility later this year provided budget restraints can be met.

Workforce WindsorEssex focuses on ag careers By Bryan Jessop
KINGSVILLE – Fertile plots of acreage aren’t the only “fields” a local organization has in mind when it comes to supporting the county’s agricultural industry. Workforce WindsorEssex introduced a new program at Mucci Farms along County Road 20 in Kingsville last week, officially kick starting an effort to generate awareness on the multitude of career fields available from within the agriculture and agri-foods sectors. A gathering of guests representing various organizations from across the county met at the local greenhouse facility Wednesday, July 31 to learn about a fivepronged approach to addressing the workforce shortage that has challenged the industry for the past several years. Workforce WindsorEssex executive director Michelle Suchiu and project coordinator and researcher Corey Shenken, Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) science and government relations manager Dr. Justine Taylor and Mucci Farms’ di“These types of rector of human resourccompanies are es Carol Bendo spoke to looking for people guests about the program with experience in — a part of Workforce jobs that many people WindsorEssex’s WEexdon’t know exist in plore Ag project — beagriculture.” fore the first of five vid— Corey eos produced as part of Shenken the plan was revealed. Mucci Farms, which employs a full-time staff of more than 1,200 as the largest employer of its kind in the region, was described as a frontrunner in the greenhouse industry’s implementation of new technologies. Suchiu took the podium to thank individuals and organizations involved in the project — including the Ontario provincial government — and to highlight initiatives being undertaken by Workforce WindsorEssex including virtual workplace tours, the creation of a new bridge construction timeline tool and development of online resources for parents and children to explore career options together.

Southern Footprints presents cheque to Crime Stoppers LEAMINGTON - From left to right, Windsor Essex Crime Stoppers program manager Tyler Lamphier, Southern Footprints event coordinator Denise Gaffan and race director Dave Campbell reveal a donation of $3,000 to the local Crime Stoppers branch Friday, July 26. The contribution was made through registration of Southern Footprints participation and support from several local sponsoring businesses. “As usual, Leamington’s sponsors have come through and stepped forward for us,” Campbell explained. In the first year of the partnership between Southern Footprints and the local Crime Stoppers, a donation of $2,500 was made. The donations help fund Crime Stoppers programs and projects. Locally, the Essex Count OPP offers the services of one officer to Crime Stoppers for a term of three years. (Submitted Photo)
The resources described to guests at Mucci Farms included a career guide covering the top 52 occupations found in greenhouse, winery, fishery, food processing and traditional farming sectors. Also, five ‘engagement’ videos focusing on career opportunities, technologies and workplace environments in those same sectors were discussed — the first of which was revealed following presentations. The two-and-a-half to four minute videos will be released every other Wednesday starting July 31 and can be accessed through the website www.workforcewindsoressex. com/agriculture The third component of the strategy will be known as “AgriDay,” where secondary school students and job seekers will visit and tour agricultural and agri-food businesses across the county. Utilizing the same approach as Manufacturing Day, 500 people are expected to participate in Agri-Day. Workforce Windsor-Essex has received confirmation of involvement from both the Greater Essex County District School Board and Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board. The fourth and fifth resources will include an expanded WEexplore Careers tool that includes the industry’s jobs listed in the career guide and scheduled release of new Workforce Profile Blogs. The latter will feature interviews with workers in the agriculture and agri-food sectors, to be released to the Workforce WindsorEssex website every other Wednesday starting August 7 and into April of 2020. The OGVG estimated that over the next decade, an additional 7,900 agricultural jobs will be created in Essex County, not including non-greenhouse farming and cannabis production.

Competition keen at Fun Darts
Norma Grant’s new 1963 Valiant V100 sedan. Note the black and white 1963 Ontario license plate.
Her first car: a 1963 Valiant sedan Norma and Ian Panton today live in Kingsville. Norma grew up in Toronto as Norma Grant and graduated from North Toronto Collegiate Institute in 1951. After completing the rest of her education, she became a school teacher who lived at 356 Roehampton Avenue near Eglinton and Mount Pleasant. In 1963, she almost bought a new 1963 Valiant four-door sedan from Mills & Hadwin, the ChryslerPlymouth dealer at 3147 Yonge Street just north of Lawrence Avenue. I say “almost bought” because her dad had always bought his cars at Mills & Hadwin through a salesman named Frank Lowry, whom he had met through Bill Sherk church. But just before Norma was ready to buy a car, Frank Lowry left Mills & Hadwin and opened a dealership of his own with a partner in Agincourt in the northeast corner of Scarborough called Lowry-Nicholl Motors. And because of Norma’s dad’s loyalty toward Mr. Lowry, that’s where they went to buy Norma’s new 1963 Valiant. She still has the original bill of sale showing a base price of $2,480 for a white 1963 Valiant V100 four-door sedan with red interior plus $15 for license and registration, $10 for backup lights, $15 for windshield washers, $7 for armrests and $185 for automatic transmission. Norma paid for the car in full before she and Ian Panton were married in 1964. She must have been one of their first customers because the address on the bill of sale (4438 Sheppard Avenue West) is the wrong address. Yonge Street divides Toronto into east and west, and Agincourt, the location of the new dealership, is definitely far to the east. This bill of sale with the error in the address could now be considered a collector’s item. Ian and Norma kept the ’63 Valiant for 10 years and it served them well. An interesting feature of the car was the new Slant Six engine introduced in 1960 when Chrysler entered the compact field with its new Plymouth Valiant on a 519-825-4521 106-inch wheelbase when the regular Plymouth wheelbase 790 Talbot Trail 1 km East of Wheatley was 12 inches longer. And the Valiant weighed about 800 www.talbottrailgolfclub.com pounds less, giving greater fuel economy and a more attractive sticker price.

Don Wigle makes an adjustment to the leaderboard following a measurement for Nick Ladd — moving him into third place in the walleye division — Sunday, Aug. 4 at the Leamington Municipal Marina for Day 9 of the Big Boyz Fishing Tournament.

Big Boyz Derby completed By Bryan Jessop
A relocated, slightly condensed version of the Southwest Outdoors Club’s Big Boyz Fishing Derby has come to an end. The annual Wheatlety Fish Festival tournament was stationed a cast’s distance from the Leamington Municipal Marina’s boat launch this year, bringing the measuring station to a location outside of the Wheatley Harbour for the first time in its history. Dan Reive, president of the SWOC, explained that participation numbers were down slightly this year, but hopes to see the event back in its original location for 2020. “There were still lots of boats at Wheatley Harbour,” Reive explained. “We tip our hats to Al Matthews and his crew — they made it work for us.” On Saturday, Aug. 3, 107 boats were launched from the Wheatley Harbour boat ramp.

Progs golf report Sixty-three proggers graced the hallowed grounds of Erie Shores Golf Club of July 30. Proggers must be respectful so the golf gods are generous. That didn’t seem to help Mike Herbert. Mike often visited the woods where many a golfer has ventured and not escaped without severe repercussions. Such was the case on Tuesday when Mike lost a couple of new yellow golf balls, which Ron Tremblay or Gary Alderson will eventually find. Watch out for the poison ivy. Kevin Shaften didn’t get his A-game going until the second nine. He was determined to get birds to win some cash. I swear I saw his pupils turn into $ signs when the bird opportunity arose. Gene Bouliane had a solid front line. Gene’s ball was located just in front of Mike Herbert and Kevin Shaften’s putts. He watched their ball and
seamlessly duplicated the putt. Matt Dick had an adventuresome experience on hole #8. He found himself in the trees with Wayne Quinn and Greg Dunmore nestled cosily in the cart. Matt wanted desperately to get back into the fairway, but the situation was precarious at best. Matt bravely smacked the ball, which ricocheted from a tree in front to a tree on the side and back into the fairway. Both Quinn and Dunmore were startled from their reverie since the ball crossed the path in front of them. Obviously it was too close for comfort. Ward Hutchins had a “never had that happen before” moment. He blasted a long drive down the right side into the rough on the right side. Likely Ward was about 100 to 120 yards away from the green. When he made contact, two balls appeared. One sailed onto the green while another one went backwards about 10 feet. Ward’s drive had land-
ed on top of another ball that was lodged and could not be seen. Ward thought his ball was the one that went backwards and was not aware of how good his original ball went. Some people have all the luck. The $10 winning team was Carl Grossi, Gord Anderson, Henry Hildebrandt, Ron Tremblay, Bill Slater, Greg Dunmore, Ken Luxford, Wayne Wiseman, Barry Miller, Geoff Dunmore, Bill Conn, Mark Wisternoff, Bill Kelly, Ward Hutchins, Kevin Shaften and Dennis McDonald. First high plus was Joe Verhoeven with +10 ($20). Second high plus was tied with four proggers at +4 each ($6): Larry Roberts, Darcy Waren, Kevin Shaften and Geoff Dunmore. Skins ($22 each) were won by Neil Sawatzky #2 (eagle), Dennis McDonald #4, Ken Luxford #9, Norm Beattie #11 and Kevin Shaften #16.
