Curb bump outs not popular By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Following a series of public complaints, changes made to urban intersections in Leamington might be ‘curbed’ in the foreseeable future. A notice of motion was brought forward to consider the fate of recently constructed curb extensions, also referred to as ‘bulb outs’ or ‘bump outs’. While some residents living within close proximity to the bump outs have expressed positive sentiments on the structures’ intended purpose of slowing down traffic, others have indicated frustration over newfound challenges in navigating the narrower passages permitting access from one street to another via motor vehicle. The notice listed four sets of bump outs as issues of concern among intersections reconfigured during recent street reconstruction and sewer separation projects. Those included Danforth Avenue, Pulford Avenue, Talbot Street and Fox Street, Mill Street and Erie Street and Mill Street and Fox Street. “With hindsight being 20/20, if we had to do it again, we’d do them a little differently,” noted Councillor Tim Wilkinson. Councillor John Hammond agreed that the “pinch in” portions of renovated streets are too narrow in some intersections, while Councillor Paul Tiessen expressed sentiments that the feedback of residents must be considered while giving (Continued on Page 2)

Over 200 at Kids’ Fishing Derby By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – With ideal weather came an ideal crowd of youngsters for the annual Kids’ Fishing Derby alongside Wheatley Harbour. This year’s edition of the Southwest Outdoors Club outing drew 207 participating youth up to 17 years of age. Along with parents, grandparents and other accompanying adults for guidance, the derby’s total attendance was an estimated 300 to 350 people. Southwest Outdoors Club president Dan Reive described this year’s turnout as average in comparison to recent years and noting the limited amount of available space, was pleased with the level of participation. “To get the kids away

from their iPads and computer screens for half a day and into the outdoors is the whole idea,” he explained. “This is the kind of thing we spend the whole year raising money for. If we can introduce something to a few kids that they’ll stick with for years to come, we’re happy.” As in previous years, each entry was entered into a draw to win one of eight bicycles purchased by the club for one boy and one girl in each age category. Reive noted that this year’s bikes were bought at a generously discounted rate from Canadian Tire in Tilbury. Bike winners were Brody Renwick and Emily Loewen in the 0-3-year-olds’ division, Leland Quiring and Elena Goertzen in the 4-7-year-old group, Isabella Sacasa and Ty Gould among 8-12-yearold entries and Angelica

Guenther and Chase Simpson for the 13-17-year-old group. Winners in the same age categories for the biggest fish, in the same order, were Efrain Amaya, Estrella Amaya, Bryson Willis and Marissa Klassen. Each of the four winners was awarded a plaque that they had the option of having engraved with their names.Winners also received new fishing rods. The Southwest Outdoors Club again ensured no participants went home empty handed, offering each a takehome toy from prize tables filled with $3,000 worth of items. Throughout the five hour event, rods were loaned to children who didn’t have their own while bait was offered free of charge courtesy of Windsor Wholesale Bait. Early in the day, each of the 25 loaner rods had been ac-

counted for. Each participating youth was also treated to a free lunch of a hot dog, chips and a beverage. Measurement and recording of catches was again performed courtesy of Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry personnel working out of the Lake Erie Management Unit’s Wheatley Harbour Authority office. Next on the Southwest Outdoors Club’s schedule will be the annual Big Boyz Fishing Derby, to take place this year from the Leamington Municipal Marina Saturday, July 27 to Sunday, Aug. 4. The measurement station will be in Leamington this year because of high water levels in Wheatley that have delayed construction of new steel docks. (Photos on Page 30)

Curb bump outs not popular

Beating the heat at Seacliff Park Kids of all ages made their way to Seacliff Park’s splash pad Friday, July 5 as a fun way to beat the scorching heat that made its way to Leamington and surrounding areas to start the first full month of summer. Temperatures in Leamington that day climbed to as high as 32ºC/89ºF in the afternoon and up to 43ºC/109ºF with humidity. Higher than normal temperatures continued into Saturday and dipped slightly on Sunday. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Dog pound fees to increase By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Taking advantage of the local dog pound as a more affordable alternative to kenneling will no longer be such a lucrative option for irresponsible owners. Leamington Council approved a motion to allow Essex County K9 Services — the provider of dog impound services for both Leamington and Kingsville through its County Road 18 facility — to increase impound fees for owners of dogs caught multiple times within one year. Manager of bylaw enforcement Kyle Reive explained to council that some dog owners find it cheaper to let their dogs run at large and then pay the current impound fees than acquire the services of a kenneling business. To address the issue, Essex County K9 Services has requested that the two municipalities alter the impound fees pertaining to the existing animal control bylaw to discourage the practice. “K9 is getting the dogs of some people over and over again,” Reive said. “There are some dogs and their owners that they’re very familiar with.” With the amendment to Bylaw 60-18, the first time impounding fee

will be $50, but will increase to $75 for the second release of a dog to its owner if the animal is seized a second time within the same 12-month time frame. For third and following impounds within the same year’s time, the fee will increase to $125. Reclaiming fees collected by Essex County K9 Services are returned to their corresponding municipalities — Leamington or Kingsville — which for the former, the report states will generate about $600 in additional revenue. Additionally, K9’s requests included adding a per-day kenneling fee of $15 at the County Road 18 building to offset the costs of feeding and sheltering impounded dogs. As per administration’s request, council did not approve the $15/day kenneling fee based on the fact that such fees were not discussed during K9’s proposal in the previous public procurement process. However, the idea for an additional kenneling fee may be discussed when the current contract with Essex County K9 Services expires at the end of 2020. Under the current contract, K9 provides all services for a price of $70,000 yearly. Impounded dogs that are not reclaimed by their owners are entered into a program led by St. Clair College where those animals are made available for adoption by potential new owners.

(Continued from Front) attention to excessive speed in residential areas. In response to Wilkinson’s inquiry as to whether feedback has been received from Public Works, bus drivers and snow plow operators, director of infrastructure services Rob Sharon noted that while the bump outs have succeeded in making the affected areas more pedestrian friendly, certain snow plow routes must be altered. “It seems no matter what we do, we’re going to please some and displease others,” stated Councillor John Jacobs. Hammond noted that it would be worth considering the traffic differences between non-residential areas such as the Mill/Erie intersection versus residential zones such as any junctions involving Danforth when determining what to do with bump outs. Before deciding whether to reduce curb extensions and allow for wider roadways, eliminate bulb outs completely or leave them unaltered, members of council agreed to wait for administration to conduct a survey gathering more public input before addressing the issue.

“It seems no matter what we do, we’re going to please some and displease others.” — John Jacobs

Deputy-Mayor Larry Verbeke stressed the importance of receiving a report on bump outs before deliberations begin on the municipality’s 2020 budget. He also stressed the importance on considering public feedback before bump outs are added for future road reconstruction projects. Peter Neufeld, Leamington’s CAO, noted that the municipality’s younger population must also be considered before a decision is made on what — if anything — to do with bump outs. “We have to consider future generations,” he noted. “They walk more, they use bicycles and they’re driving smaller cars.”

CiB selects Fabulous Garden Display winners for June By Catherine Riediger

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Horticultural Society’s Communities in Bloom (CiB) Floral and Landscape committee members have been out and about the Leamington area viewing nominated gardens. For the month of June, four gardens were recognized for the Scott’s Miracle-Gro Best Garden Selection Awards. The winners received a sign and congratulatory letter and will receive a jug of Miracle-Gro All-Purpose Shake and Feed and a container of Nature’s Care, Tomato, Vegetable and Herb Plant Food. The committee first met with Peter Ver Bruggen at 444 Oak Street East where he was hard at work making his yard beautiful. Peter has a well-maintained lawn and a nice mix of hydrangea, hosta, rhododendrons and weigela accented with annuals. Peter’s efforts are well showcased even though he says his yard “is a work in progress”. The next stop was 91 Anfred St., where they were treated to a fabulous display of irises, bulbs, spirea, weigela, hydrangea, Japanese maple, star magnolia and phlox. Annuals in pots and portulaca edging the driveway and street were clear evidence of the care and effort of Judy and Bill Slater. Well done! Leaving the urban area of Leamington behind, they ventured to the rural area to find a nicely maintained yard with many neatly trimmed shrubs such as weigela and hydrangea at the home of Elizabeth and Bill Enns, 751 Mersea Road 37. They saw a rustic arbour with a few hens charmingly looking for food nearby. All of this was highlighted with many colourful pots of annuals. Great job! The committee’s final garden selection was the attractive wooded property of Paula and Robert Hudders at 1039 Mersea Road 7. The entrance to the front door of this home was a delightful display of hostas, heuchera, cranesbill, peonies, irises, azaleas, columbine, bleeding heart, bulbs, succulents and magnolias. It was a stunning display with a lovely lawn and woods acting as perfect backdrops. If you would like to nominate a garden, please email your nomination with name, address, telephone and email address to cib@mdirect.net or call Eileen at 519-326-4841.

LEAMINGTON – Over 800 visitors, residents and their families attended the annual Canada Day barbecue hosted by the Leamington Mennonite Home and the Ladies Auxiliary. Warm weather and a gentle breeze under the trees of the Garrison Memorial Park made for a perfect setting for the gathering. A large double tent provided shade to the residents of the Home, with funding provided by Heritage Canada. The Windsor Symphony Brass Quintet played a medley of songs and tunes followed by a beautiful selection of Canadiana music including the national anthem. The Ladies Auxiliary, together with a large group of volunteers, served the crowd hamburgers, homemade potato salad, coleslaw, watermelon and cookies. Mayor Hilda MacDonald brought greetings and a Canada Day message from the Municipality of Leamington. Other members of Town Council joined the celebration, which emphasized the freedoms and rights of citizens in this beautiful community and nation.

Not exactly as advertised Last week, I had to make a slight adjustment to my exercise routine. The treadmill I bought a few months ago started making a rather unpleasant grinding noise — right around the time that the owner’s manual suggested re-lubricating the space between the belt and the deck. While trying to figure out what exactly I needed to find/buy, I decided to take my routine outdoors. As it turned out, the suburban block I live on is almost exactly one kilometre per ‘lap’. With that in mind, I decided upon a morning five-lap Bryan Jessop walk five times per week, or just a whisker over 5 km. For the first five kicks at the outdoor can, I decided to make a brisk walk of it, eventually shaving my elapsed time to as quick as 38 minutes and 29 seconds. On the morning of Monday, July 2, I decided to start the trek at a moderate jog. That was stupid. To make a long story short, I couldn’t do more than half a ‘lap’ before having to revert back to my brisk walk. I brought my time down to 33:49, but it cost me a few aches and pains. Obviously, I need to invest in a pair of jogging shoes. Footwear of that sort certainly bears the appearance of everyday running shoes, but as it turns out, that term is wildly misleading. Trust me, if you’re in your mid 40s and are about 25 pounds overweight, “running” (or even jogging) in a cheap, commonplace pair of shoes is going to be an exercise in self-inflicted cruelty. What ever happened to the term “sneakers?” Nothing misleading about that — anyone can be sneaky in a $25 pair of shoes, regardless of the age or amount of wear and tear. Running shoes, as it turns out, is about as accurate a term as “all season tires.” On top of that, it probably wasn’t wise to START the journey at a jog. I figured that since I could move at a decent clip on the treadmill — and THAT was at an incline of 12 per cent — jogging on a flat surface would be a breeze. Not so. Surface condition, wind speeds and direction, temperature and humidity were not factors that I had bothered to consider. Oops. Even switching between brisk walk and jogging, I would have been lapped by a good 5 km runner had my ‘course’ been 2.5 km long (i.e. two laps). Getting back to my “what’s in a name?” rant, unreliable terminology is all around us. How often do you hear actual music on MTV nowadays? The content of “The Learning Channel” is intellectually insulting to the average goldfish. The History Channel doesn’t exactly live up to its name anymore either. My wife and I took in about 10 minutes of “Shelby The Swamp King” a couple weeks ago. Spoiler alert — Shelby does NOT share with his viewers a timeline depicting the fall of the Roman Empire or an explanation as to precisely why Paraguay was doomed from the get-go in the War of the Triple Alliance. What he does is pick up live snakes, bite their heads off, gut them on the spot and wear their skins as a headband. Not much of a history lesson. Anyway, “expect the unexpected” is almost never bad advice unless you’re pondering a wager on the Lions winning the Super Bowl or something like that. As for what IS in a name… well, Chinese Checkers were invented in Germany. Hawaiian Pizza is a Canadian innovation. Fireflies are beetles. Hot dogs are actually made of… well, that’s up for debate.

Leamington to Windsor Transit Service begins operation LEAMINGTON – The new Leamington to Windsor Transit service, LTW Transit - Route 42, began operation on Monday, July 8. The new transit route travels from Leamington to Windsor (St. Clair College), with stops in Kingsville and Essex, Monday through Saturday. For the LTW Transit inaugural midday run, Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald boarded the bus in Leamington, picking up Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos and Essex Mayor Larry Snively at their respective LTW Transit stops in Kingsville and Essex. They continued along Route 42 and met up with Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens at the LTW Transit stop at St. Clair College. LTW Transit is a four-year pilot project undertaken by the Municipality of Leamington in partnership with Transit Windsor, with financial support from the Ministry of Transportation. Strong transit ridership and a successful outcome at the end of the pilot project could lead to the permanent continuation of regional transit and the potential expansion of the service. “Leamington is very proud to deliver a program that provides safe and reliable public transportation, while strengthening ties between communities and providing better access to employment, education, healthcare and social services,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “As leaders, we all have a responsibility to make our region as accessible as possible for the residents of all ages,” said Mayor Drew Dilkens. “This community to community public transit connection is an important move in that direction.”

July Birthday Bash this weekend

SnakeBite takes to the stage at Two Creeks this weekend.

SnakeBite at Two Creeks WHEATLEY – The originally scheduled artist, Dale Butler, is unable to appear at the upcoming July 14 concert at Two Creeks Conservation Area. In his place, Two Creeks will welcome one of Southwestern Ontario’s favourite rock ‘n’ rolling country bands, SnakeBite, to the stage. The music starts at 6:00 p.m. with special opening guest artist Denis Basterache. SnakeBite takes the stage at 6:30 p.m. This is a free event; however, a hat is passed for donations to help offset the cost of the performers and the maintenance of this beautiful natural amphitheatre, park and trail system. In case of inclement weather, the show moves to the covered pavilion. Comber Scouts will be selling hotdogs and other refreshments. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and settle in for an evening of great country music. Two Creeks is located on Kent Rd. 1 just one km north of Wheatley.

PPQ discusses the history of purses LEAMINGTON – Pelee Past Questers recently met at the WFCU for an informative demonstration and discussion of antique and vintage purses. The speaker was Denise De LuccaWalsh, President of Talbot Trails Questers, who is a collector of over 400 purses. Denise credits her family for her interest. Trunks of vintage ball gowns and accessories were her favourite playground and she often accompanied her mother and aunt to farm auctions and garage sales. Clothing of the past didn’t have pockets, so baskets and pouches provided places to carry along necessary belongings. Pouches were generally attached to a belt or sash worn at the waist. Crusaders used these leather pouches to carry alms for the poor, their form of currency and small items such as keys and knives. In the 1920s, it became fashionable for women to carry purses designed to match their outfit. In the 1930s, beaded bags became

the style. European centres in Belgium, France and then Japan were noted for the intricate designs, quality beads and the frames, often metal, but also made of wood, bones and newer plastics. In this period, Lucite bags in the shapes of boxes were sought after. At this time, bags could be customized to use the same materials as the outfits. Between the 1930s and 1960s, cheaper plastic beads made bags available for a less expensive market. Styles in the 1960s emphasized clutches made of velvet which were often heavily beaded. Finer bags incorporated semi-precious stones and culturally significant decorations. In the 1970s, needlepoint and petit point tapestry designs were frequently found. Alligator bags, followed by eel skin and then snake skin bags were in vogue in cycles. Hunting of crocodiles for leather alone was banned for a number of years, but may be coming back.

Denise brought along a wide variety of models of the bags of these eras. She has a number of her special bags on display at the current Questers Collects Exhibit at the Museum Windsor. Questers is an organization dedicated to preservation, restoration and education. Pelee Past Questers meets in the Leamington area about once monthly. For further information, call J. King at 519-326-1361.

Kingsville updating parks, rec, arts, culture master plan Public information session is July 17 KINGSVILLE – To help Kingsville plan for the future, the town is updating its Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture Master Plan. “We recognize that maintaining a healthy balance between life, work and play is a key goal for our municipality,” said Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos. “Our overall success in reaching this goal can only be accomplished by engaging and inviting our residents, community groups, athletic associations and user groups along with our creative arts and cultural sectors to participate in this important update and vital master plan.” The draft Master Plan identifies park and facility improvements, enhanced programs and services, and suggestions for working with the community to achieve common goals. The plan has been shaped by input from the many residents and stakeholders who helped to identify local needs and priorities through surveys and public input sessions last fall. Residents are invited to attend a Public Information Session to provide their input on the key directions from the draft plan. The event will be held on Wednesday, July 17 from 6-8 p.m. at the Kingsville Arena Complex (1741 Jasperson Drive). This is a dropin event with no presentation. A copy of the full draft Master Plan is available on the town’s website at www.kingsville.ca/recmasterplan Public input will be considered up to July 31, 2019. This feedback will be considered in the final plan that is presented to Town Council later this year.

County ReStore closes temporarily By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – With a mission that’s all about buildings, Habitat For Humanity Windsor Essex needs one bigger than its Leamington location to help fund the creation of new homes across the county. On Sunday, June 30, the local branch of Habitat For Humanity officially closed the doors to its ReStore at 1 Iroquois Rd. (Unit 2) in Leamington. Three years and four months after opening the South Essex office in the Tomato Capital, Habitat For Humanity, citing an insufficient amount of space, permanently shut down the 2,300 sq. ft. building as its second ReStore in WindsorEssex. Until a new, larger location is found, the new main office/ReStore at 51 Edinborough St. in Windsor will serve as the temporary ‘recombined’ facility for both the city and the county. “It was just plain too small,” explained Habitat For Humanity Windsor Essex executive director Fiona Coughlin of the decision to close the 1 Iroquois Road building. “It wasn’t suitable in that size and configuration. With the goal of generating sufficient funding to provide affordable housing, we need a larger building.” Habitat For Humanity ReStores are retail outlets driven largely by volunteers as well as employees. ReStores sell materials donated by local individuals and businesses including appliances, kitchen fixtures and materials, home furnishings, building supplies and other goods. Coughlin explained that the impending closure of the Iroquois Road store/office had been discussed with staff and volunteers starting in May of this year. Under the terms of the lease agreement with the Leamington building, Habitat For Humanity Windsor Essex had the option of terminating the lease early, but would not have been able to relocate in either Leamington or Kingsville. Instead, the lease will be allowed to expire in late March of 2021 as originally intended so that both Leamington and Kingsville will remain optional when the new, larger ReStore opens. “There were some tough decisions to make — there’s definitely a grieving process for the volunteers and staff who’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into that store,” Coughlin noted.

“They did some amazing things with what space they had, but that space doesn’t meet the needs for supporting our affordable housing objectives.” Ideally, once a new ReStore location has been selected, it will open at some point after March 30 in 2021. In the meantime, the Windsor office and ReStore will serve as the focal point for ReStore customers and donors alike, while Habitat For Humanity seeks out the best possible facility for the county office and store. “We’re not going to rush it,” Coughlin said. “We’re going to be doing a lot of research to make sure we serve the county as best we can.” One factor the local HFH branch is using to determine a new ReStore location in 2021 is cataloging the postal codes of donors and customers who utilize the Windsor location. Donations can be made by calling 519-9693762 with free pick up service available by visiting www.habitatwindsor.org for more information. The local Habitat For Humanity has been collecting donor and customer postal codes since January of this year. “It’ll be a big factor when we chose where to relocate,” Coughlin said. Upon the announcement of closure of the Iroquois Road location, Habitat For Humanity offered each of the three employees in Leamington a position at the Windsor address. Two of the three accepted the offer, while Coughlin explained that a job will still be offered to the remaining employee if there is a change in decision. Celebrating 25 years of operating in Windsor and Essex County, the local Habitat For Humanity has focused on addresses in Kingsville for both its 66th and 67th housing projects. The Fortuna and Ford families will benefit from the Kingsville builds, both of which will begin in late August of this year.

Friendship Club hosts annual picnic with Dawsons entertaining all By Bonnie Dawson

WHEATLEY – A good turnout showed up for the Wheatley & District Friendship Club’s annual picnic on July 3. After the singing of O Canada, Happy Birthday was sung to Barb Cobby and Nancy Roach, who have birthdays in July. The blessing was then given. The meeting room was decked out with felt red maple leaves on the tables and bud vases filled with Canadian flags. After the magnificent meal — so many choices, so much food, so much temptation — the clean-up began. Many thanks to all those who helped with the set up and clean up. The winners of the 50/50 draws were Alma Edsall and Donna Moody. There were also four door prizes handed out. The winners were Audrey Ives, Heather McKee, Doreen Armstrong and Pauline Sample.

Some of their songs were “This Land”, “Waltz Across Texas”, “You Are My Sunshine”, “Let the Light Shine In”, “Silver Wings”, “I’ve Had Choices”, “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow”, and several others.

Students participate in Discovery Camp The Schulich School of Medicine is holding several Discovery Camps throughout Southwestern Ontario. Discovery Camp is a one-week medical science summer camp for high school students designed to mentor and inspire those interested in pursuing a career in medicine and the health care field. The Leamington camp took place July 2-5 with approximately 25 students ranging in age from 13 to 16 years of age from various schools across Windsor-Essex. Camp participants learned about career opportunities available in health care and the requirements to pursue this path.

WHEATLEY – On Sunday, July 14, the regular service will be at Talbot Street Community United with Eric Skillings leading at 11 am. You are welcome to come in too. On Sunday, July 21 the service moves to St. Luke’s up the Bloomfield at 11 a.m., also with Eric. Our prayers of support are with Florence Willan, Clarence Janisse, Margaret Dodman, Jamie Armstrong, Murray M., Olga D., Tom C., Jon G., and especially with Madeline Shanks and family in the passing of Terry, age 64, after his nine-year struggle with cancer. His specialists were astounded at his tenacity as he had been their longest-surviving, continuous chemo recipient. Our community will miss him, but our church family particularly will be reminded of his devotion and contributions every time we take notice of any one of the many items he has designed or built to serve our cause. Catching up with some of the Talbot Street area young people: Katie Dierckens is working full-time at FreshCo in Windsor and has her own apartment that is especially fitted out for blind tenants only. Matthew Dierckens is living and working in Windsor also and is engaged to be married this autumn. Congratulations Matthew! Scott and Michele Shanks’ family is employed too: Wesley has his thriving denturist business in Sudbury, Bradley works for the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and Nicole is in Human Resources with a firm in Chatham.

Cephra Rose Hasfal, a Leamington resident who hails from Brampton, is a contestant in this year’s Miss Universe Canada competition being held August 15-17. As part of the pageant requirements, contestants raise money for a charity of their choice. Cephra is holding a charity event at Charm’s Café (32 John St., Leamington) on July 13 and 14 with breakfast specials and raffle tickets. Her charities are Operation Smile, which provides children with cleft palate/lip conditions in underdeveloped countries free medical care so they can live their best lives, and Compassion Canada, which assists children in developing nations who are suffering due to poverty. Cephra Rose Hasfal She plans to do another larger charity event at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto the week after. Cephra was born and raised in Brampton to Jamaican/ Chinese parents into a family of seven. Cephra is pursuing a degree in Business Marketing in Windsor. Since age 21, Cephra felt it was in her heart to begin an online ministry in order to be more proactive about her vision of helping others. She is currently in the process of launching her own ministry that will focus on the everyday vain pursuits of this generation that deprive them of finding true identity fulfilment. Through the ministry, she hopes to inspire young girls and women to be the best versions of themselves in order to sustain beauty from the inside out. Other causes near and dear to her heart include poverty, mental health, human sex trafficking and social and religious persecutions. Cephra is extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this year’s Miss Universe Canada competition, as it brings her one step closer to bringing her vision to life. She hopes this platform will enable her to partner with organizations that have a similar vision, allowing her to be a voice for those who don’t have one.

BIA receives Digital Main St. grant LEAMINGTON - The Leamington Uptown BIA has re-

ceived a $10,000 grant from Digital Main Street (DMS), an Ontario government program, to fund a Digital Service Squad to help main street small businesses improve their online capabilities. The Digital Service Squad will help small businesses in downtown Leamington enhance their use of digital tools and techniques to better evolve and grow. The Squad will consist of a trained specialist who will visit and assist businesses at no cost to help them set up Google Business, conduct a digital-readiness assessment and apply for a $2,500 Digital Transformation Grant. The Uptown Leamington BIA has selected The Branding Loft as their Digital Service Squad. The Squad will start visiting businesses on July 26, 2019. “We are thrilled to be able to bring the opportunity of increasing our members digital knowledge base and capabilities through this grant that the BIA successfully achieved for them,” said Lisa Bradt, Chair of the Uptown Leamington BIA. “Any initiatives that can help our members improve their efficiencies while also helping to promote their businesses and represent Leamington are ones that we feel are worth focusing on.” A joint program funded by Government of Ontario and delivered by the Ontario BIA Association, Digital Main Street helps improve how small main street businesses use digital tools and techniques to become more successful. The digital economy is vital to small businesses, and DMS will help them adopt new digital technologies from e-commerce and social media to back-office systems such as payroll and inventory. “Our government is committed to helping small businesses improve their competitiveness, create jobs and attract investment,” said Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “That’s why I’m so pleased that businesses in the Municipality of Leamington will benefit from the expertise of a Digital Service Squad to help small businesses embrace digital technology. Our investment in the Digital Main Street program will help to ensure that Ontario is open for business and open for jobs.” “Creating an online presence provides business owners and consumers with so many benefits,” said Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington.

Progs golfers enjoying dry course On July 2, the Erie Shores Proggers were finally greeted with hot temperatures and a dried out course. With everybody’s bodies being loosened up with the heat, let’s see how the golfers fared. I played with three of the longest hitters – Tim Tiessen, Ward Hutchins and Matt Dick. To say that I felt intimidated was an understatement. I tried really hard not to try and keep up. After every drive I was the first to hit, since they were 30 to 50 yard ahead of me. Thanks to some very good second shots, I was able to not embarrass myself. Thanks to Matt Dick for playing a game similar to my own, I was able to gather my nerves and play a respectable round of golf. I kicked Matt’s butt with a +6 to his even score. Tim Tiessen owned the first 10 holes with four birdies. Tim had all of his 28 points after 10 holes. I mentioned Harry Badz’s name, synonymous with Captain Zero. He could be like a Mission Impossible tape that self destructed. With a +10, my mind game didn’t work as I had anticipated. However, Ward Hutchins was listening. On the back nine, Ward had one par and two birdies, along with a slew of bogies. You can tell who had the stronger mind. The $10 team winners were Wayne Quinn, Don Gemmell, Jim Chobdra, Richard Reive, Vic Tiessen, Gary McRae, Neil Sawatzky, Bill Gherasim, Roger Cote, Bill Ruiter, Kevin Shaften, Bill Slater, Tom Miehl, Orest Hrynewich and Wayne Gillett. First high plus was Darcy Warren ($20), second high plus Geoff Dunmore ($15) and third high plus Bill Gherasim. The $20 skins winners were Bill Conn #6, Geoff Dunmore #7, Kevin Shaften #13, Mike Herbert #14 and Ron Koop #18. Unfortunately, Gene Bouliane hangs onto the snake for another week. Will next week be the one? Stay tuned.

Iles pitches a gem Jr. Barons’ Dawson Iles took to the mound Friday evening, July 5 against the Essex Seniors and pitched fantastic, striking out eight in a mercy-shortened, fiveinning game. The Leamington Jr. Barons scored seven runs in the bottom of the first, coasting to 14-1 victory. “Dawson seemed to get stronger as the game went on,” said catcher Derrick Antunes. Kameron Wall, Ryan Wall, Logan Robillard and Antunes all had a pair of hits in the Barons four-hit attack. K. Wall homered in the third inning and Robillard tripled in the fourth frame. The locals travel to London this weekend to compete in the Southwest London Jr. Tournament.

Bantam Selects battle to final

The Leamington Bantam Selects recently participated in the annual Scorpions Summer Classic Selects Tournament in London. With a field of 12 teams, the Selects Lakers, in typical Lakers fashion, battled and won their first four games to reach the finals before losing to Orangeville. In game one versus East York, the Selects came from behind and scored three runs in the last inning led by timely hitting from game MVP Michael Church. The Bantam Selects overpowered Byron 15-5 in game two as game MVP Eddie Neufeld led the hitting attack.

The Lakers overmatched Guelph in game three with timely hitting and power pitching from game MVP Thomas DeSantis, who stuck out nine batters in five innings of work. In game four, the Laker Bantam Selects came from behind to beat Brampton 8-6 as Michael Church led the offensive comeback, nearly hitting a bases-loaded grand slam. Despite solid efforts from game MVP Owen Knelson and the entire team, the Selects simply ran out of gas and lost to Orangeville in the final.

Mosquito Majors have 3-1 weekend It was a busy long weekend for Leamington Lakers Mosquito Majors, sponsored by Leamington Chevy-BuickGMC. Friday evening, June 28, saw the delayed championship game take place from the Father’s Day weekend tournament in Harrow. The Lakers faced LaSalle Gold Major and the ‘A’ centre team came flying out of the blocks, racing into a six-run lead after the first inning. LaSalle was finding the gaps and the Lakers were finding the fielders. The boys never recovered after the early setback but still finished as silver medalists. Fortunately, they were able to move on quickly and put that game behind them, as they faced Woodslee Majors in a lunchtime game on Saturday. The Lakers got off to a slow start, nursing the hangover of Friday’s game and after five innings the teams were tied at two. Grant Symons led from the mound, allowing only two hits and two runs over his two innings, striking out four. Once the Lakers got into the fifth, the bats came alive. Carter Chorba, Matthew Giesbrecht, Max Carr and Zack Liebrock all had RBIs as the Lakers scored six runs and opened up a lead. Kurtis Joseph also scored two RBIs and his brother Josh Joseph came from the bullpen to pitch the last three innings, striking nine with zero runs allowed. Lakers ran out 11-2 winners. Sunday was a double header. Woodslee came to Leamington seeking revenge but was left empty-handed. Rhys Tipper got the nod to take the mound and found his groove early, pitching three innings and allowing just one run. By the third the bats were warm. Carr, Chorba and Noah Friessen all had multiple hits as the Lakers scored four runs in the inning and another four in the fifth. Aggressive base running also helped as Chris Joseph and Trent Szorvas both stole multiple bases and Owen stole Deneau one. The Lakers finished the game 10-3 as winners. The afternoon game against the Windsor Hawks Major was a much tighter affair. Matthew Giesbrecht opened the scoring in the first inning with a great hit to take a 1-0 lead and it wasn’t until the fourth inning that Windsor registered a score of their own. Liebrock pitched a solid three innings to keep Windsor down. They did respond in the fourth, scoring two runs to take the lead, but the Lakers responded immediately thanks to a double from Tipper and RBIs from Carr and Liebrock to take a 4-2 lead. Windsor scored one more run in the seventh to close the score, but it was not enough to make the Lakers bat again and the boys ran out 4-3 victors. With a 3-1 record for the weekend, the Lakers have only lost two games all season.

The Erie Shores senior golf league enjoyed another great week of golf on July 3. The 50/50 draw winners were Paul Pringle and Keith Brown. Closest to the pin on #3 was Bob Sutherland and on #16 Ron Koop. The longest putt on #9 was made by Kas Wszol and on #18 by Keith Brown. In a game of 6-6-6 where you take the low net for the first six holes, the two low nets for the next six holes and add the three low nets per foursome for the last six holes, the winning team with a score of -26 was Paul Pringle, Rick Metz, Frank Dick and Dan Dalimonte. In second at -22 were Bob Kavanaugh, Jim Bleasby, Jack Russell and Don Mensch. Third place at -14 went to the team of Carl Young, Frank Gow, Don Chalcraft and Richard Leslie. Fourth place at -13 went to Ron Koop, Stefan Kowal, Brent Metz and Dave Wilkinson. Mark Lickness was low for the day at 78, followed by Matt Dick, Richard Reive, and Tom Miehl at 80. Three golfers had a pair of birds each: Gary McRae on #3 and 5, Mark Lickness on #14 and #16, and Bill Gherasim on #12 and #15. Single birds went to Dick Segedin on #1, Bob Kavanaugh, Stefan Kowal and Ian Mciver on #2, Keith Brown on #4, Heinz Kosempel #5, Frank Gow # 6, Greg Gare #8, Tom Miehl #9, Dave Wilkinson #12, Ron Koop and Matt Dick on #14 and Barry Miller on #15. The shot of the day, however, goes to Don Mensch, who to sink his second shot on the par 4 second hole for an eagle 2. Congratulations, Don. If you haven’t signed up yet for next week, please do so. See you then.

The Leamington Flyers have exchanged one experienced puck stopper for another. The local Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League team traded 2018-19 OHA Junior ‘B’ rookie netminder Zach Borgiel to the British Columbia Hockey League’s (BCHL) Cowichan Valley Capitals for Matthew Waite. Nineteen-year-old Waite was sidelined for a portion of the 2018-19 campaign by injury, but had five starts and six games in total with the BCHL club. He spent the two seasons prior with the Major Junior A Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), where he logged 65 total regular season games and two playoff matches. Waite, a 6’0”, 165 pound Sherbrooke, Quebec, resident, had a 4.68 goals against average with the Tier II Junior A Capitals and a save percentage of .859. With the 2016-17 Wildcats, he established a 5.26 GAA and a save percentage of .865 in 46 games. The following season, he had a GAA of 4.79 and a save percentage of .855 through 19 regular season matches and a 2.58 GAA and .920 save percentage in two playoff games. Waite is the son of former NHL goaltender Jimmy Waite, who played for the Chicago Blackhawks, San Jose Sharks and Phoenix Coyotes. Matthew will be attending courses at the University of Windsor and looks forward to suiting up with the Flyers. “I’m feeling great about it,” he said. “It’s a great op-

portunity for me and I’m looking forward to getting on the ice soon. I’m a hard worker and I don’t like to lose, so I’m going to do everything I can to prevent that from happening.” Borgiel, of Fort Gratiot, Michigan, played 28 regular season games and 16 playoff contests with the 201819 Flyers. He recorded a 2.25 GAA and a .924 save percentage during the regular season and an identical GAA in the playoffs, along with a .922 save percentage. He was the co-recipient along with Ryan Polidori for the Roy Caley Award for lowest team goals against average in the Western Conference and was a first-team all star. Borgiel was also the West’s Goalie of the Month for both November and January. “We want to thank Zach for a great season and all his contributions to the team,” said Flyers general manager Justin Solcz. “He was

a class act on and off the ice and we wish him the best.” Also in offseason transactions, the Flyers picked up Strathroy Rockets forward Lucas Fancy. The 18-yearold Charing Cross inhabitant registered eight goals and 21 assists for 29 points in 45 regular season games with Strathroy in 2018-19 as well as two assists in five first-round playoff games against the Flyers. In 201718, Fancy was the runner up for rookie of the year honours with the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s Blenheim Blades in the Stobbs Division. “We are very excited to get Lucas on our side,” said Solcz. “He was excellent against us in the playoffs last year and works as an outstanding playmaker who hounds the puck.” The Flyers’ training camp will kick off Friday, Aug. 16 at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

Drummond leads TT senior golfers By Bob McLean

On a hot, humid July 2 there were 65 Talbot Trail senior golfers participating in their weekly league game. Members finally welcomed some roll on their golf shots. They’re also glad that the local farmers received better weather conditions for planting their crops. Joe Drummond played excellently as he led the youth group and the whole field with a one under 35. Joe was closely followed by both Tom Dunn and Mike Wright who had exceptionally superb scores of 36. Behind Joe and Tom in the youth group was Randy Nash who fired a terrific 40. Others in the under 70 group who scored 45 or less: Shannon Wiper, Fred Michano and Kevin Jordan 42s, Arqy, Herb Reid and Pearcie 43s; John Liddell, Gerry van Deven and Fuzzy 44s. In the 70-79 grouping, Dutchy led the way with his outstanding 38. Other commendable results less than 46: Vic Reynaert 40, Bobo 41, Don Willan and Joe Vrtel 44s, Paul Harrison and Ray la Pierre 45s. A rejuvenated Mike Wright’s dazzling 36 in the 80-85 division was remarkable. However, there were other gratifying scores in the 40s earned by Ed Woelk, Tom Hyatt, Neil Adamson, Bob Freure and Pete Daudlin. Both Walter Balsam and Andy Orsini played very well and were only a few shots back. A steadily improving David Tonks won the closest to the pin on #9 by firing his shot to within four feet of the pin. Steve Longeway drained an amazing putt on #2 that was 24 feet long to win the long putt. The super seniors 85+ played very well on this hot, muggy day. Dave la Bonte continues to play exceptionally well as he led this group with his fantastic 48. Gerry Becigneul was close behind with a very satisfying 52. Other commendable results came from Bill Edwards, Murray Cascadden and Orville Ellwood. The league’s next scramble takes place July 16. The second travel excursion will be do Deer Run on July 19. Thank you to Tom Dunn and Joe Drummond for assisting Bummy and myself at the organizing table. Everyone was very happy to see Jim O. back with the group. He says he is feeling a lot better. Jim did a terrific job of barbecuing.

Leamington’s U16 boys travel soccer club narrowly missed out on advancing to the quarterfinals at the provincial level, but has represented its community well. The Ontario Cup at the U16 boys level kicked off with 16 regions hosting round robin qualifiers, including the Leamington SC United group Friday, July 5 to Sunday, July 7. Leamington welcomed Vaughan Azzurri, Toronto USC Karpaty and the Woodbridge Strikers to the Leamington Soccer Complex, where only the top finishing team advanced to the Ontario Cup quarterfinals. The Vaughan squad, ranked #1 in the Canadian Soccer League, won all three of its games, starting with a 3-0 Friday victory against Leamington. “They’ve got a very, very strong team,” Leamington SC U16 boys assistant coach Justin Michaud said of the Vaughan guests. “We had our chances against them, but we missed our opportunities. It was a pretty even game, but we just didn’t capitalize.”

“We expected stiff competition from start to finish. These teams practice three times a week and play in some very high caliber leagues.” — Justin Michaud

SC United bounced back from the shutout loss on Saturday afternoon, blanking Woodbridge 4-0. The teams were scoreless going into the halftime break, but Leamington ramped up its game in the second half with two goals by Drake DaCosta and singles by Antonio Brown and Carson Mastronardi. “We played well — a lot better than yesterday,” head coach Joe Rodrigues said of his team’s second match. “It took us a little while to get going, but once we did, we played strong.” Leamington SC United took it’s even 1-1 record into the last game on Sunday afternoon against Toronto USC Karpaty, also sporting a .500, 1-1 standing. The hosting squad dominated, marching its way to an 8-0 victory against its Toronto adversary. The 2-1 record was good for six out of nine points and second place amid the four teams. Vaughan finished 3-0-0, Toronto 1-0-2 and Woodbridge 0-0-3. Leamington also finished second in the goal differential, with 12 for and three against for a +9. Vaughan was 17-0 (+17), Toronto 4-16 (-12) and Woodbridge 1-15 (-14).

Leamington SC United’s Romario Badchkam chips the ball away from a Woodbridge challenger during the second half of a U16 Boys Ontario Cup qualifying game Saturday, July 6 at the Leamington Soccer Complex. Leamington won the game 4-0 and finished the tournament with a record of two wins and one loss to finish second among the four participating teams.

Ontario Cup qualifiers are drawn randomly in similar fashion to World Cup of Soccer tournaments, with no regard for the size of each team’s hosting community. “We expected stiff competition from start to finish,” Michaud said of his team’s Ontario Cup qualifier. “These teams practice three times a week and play in some very high caliber leagues.”

Previously, Leamington’s U16 boys competed in a charity tournament in Toronto known as “The Robbie” where the local SC United group also finished with two wins and one loss. To start the Essex County Soccer League season, the Leamington team established a five wins, one loss record in the U17 Boys’ division. Next up, Leamington will also be hosting a U13 Boys Ontario Cup qualifier. The

Pets of the Week

hosting team will take on Glen Shields Friday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m. on Field 4 and then go head to head with Bolton at 4 p.m. on the same field Saturday, July 13. Leamington’s round robin schedule will conclude Sunday, July 14 with a 2 p.m. match on Field 4 against Pickering.

TILBURY – Chatham-Kent Leamington MP Dave Van Kesteren is hosting a Passport Clinic on Wednesday, July 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 20 Dupuis Ave., Tilbury. The passport clinics are staffed by volunteers who ensure all forms are filled out correctly and all required documentation is included in passport applications. The clinic accommodates first-time passport applications as well as renewals and children’s passports. There will also be a photographer on site to take passport photos. For renewals, required documentation includes: a completed application (available on site), two passport photos (available on site for a fee), your current passport, payment/credit card information. For new applicants, the process is slightly more complicated. Mr. Van Kesteren’s office recommends anyone who needs a new passport to first review the requirements online to ensure they bring everything required to the passport clinic. The requirements can be found at: https:// www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/new-adultpassport/apply.html Mr. Van Kesteren’s office will handle the mailing of passport applications (if desired) once they have been filled out and checked over by volunteers.
