Local Leaders

Think Globally, Act Locally

FUROETEES

By Sheila McBrayne

The inaugural Local Leaders speakers summit attracted 150 guests to hear nine inspiring speakers. “It turned out amazing. It was better than we imagined,” said co-orgnizer Kyle Cervini. In total, with ticket sales, raffle and corporate sponsors, the event raised almost $10,000. The seven local university students who organized the event include: Cervini and Linden Crain as co-organizers, Jeron Kir, Carter Janisse, Carter Mastronardi, Bienne Mastronardi and Julia Sloan. The group is considering branding the Local Leaders idea to other university students and areas. The concept, not part of any school project, was just something the young entrepreneurs wanted to do for their community. The money raised will be donated to Habitat For Humanity WindsorEssex. “The idea behind the event was Think Globally and Act Locally,” stated Cervini. “We were amazed at how much everyone appreciated the event and enjoyed themselves,” he added. Speakers included Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Hogs For Hospice co-founder Joe Oswald, Greater Essex County District School Board Trustee Aimee Omstead, LDSS Eco Team leader Lisa Jeffrey, and leaders from Windsor and Essex County including Zain Ismail, Arthur Barbut, Yvonne Pilon, Donald McArthur and Frank Abbruzzese.

Studying the impact on shoreline from Wheatley to Clear Creek Chatham-Kent – A strong sense of community spirit will be a key element for Lake Erie residents facing the challenges of high water and erosion, according to a consultant and geoscientist Pete Zuzek who is leading the current Shoreline Erosion Study. The study area stretches from Wheatley in the southwest to Clearville in the northeast and includes Rondeau Bay. This stretch of Lake Erie shoreline is approximately 90 km in length. A first for the Canadian Great Lakes region, this study explores the influence of climate change on future coastal hazards due to changes in storms and ice cover and the associated challenges for the coastal communities of ChathamKent. Nearly 200 residents attended two days of sessions that concluded in Erieau. “What we’ve learned over the past two days is that we have a committed community of residents, landowners, the municipality and conservation authority who are all working together to find solutions,” said Zuzek. “It is imperative that we speak with one voice when we approach senior levels of government.” Zuzek said during the meetings residents were asked to provide input into the issue. “The idea that a consul-

tant can come into a situation and develop a solution without input from the local community simply doesn’t work,” said Zuzek. “I’ve learned a lot during these sessions from the community, we will build on the community ideas and I’m confident that we will develop a range of viable options for the long-term.” Chatham-Kent general manager of infrastructure and engineering services Thomas Kelly said compiling a solid database of scientific knowledge with local support is key. “We will need funding from senior government for whatever approach we take,” said Kelly. “We can’t get that unless we have done our homework and present a fact-based comprehensive plan.” Through the summer, the group plans to liaise further with Chatham-Kent Council and to meet with various ministries and agencies from senior levels of government. The group will then provide feedback on draft management options to the community in September. Study recommendations will be made in December and the final report is due in March of next year. Citizens can monitor the shoreline study at https:// www.letstalkchatham-kent. ca/chatham-kent-lake-erieshoreline-study for the most current information. Zuzek said residents should remain vigilant about

Kingsville Scouts attend Pacific Jamboree KINGSVILLE – The 2nd Kingsville Scouts attended Pacific Jamboree from July 6 to 13 at Camp Barnard in Sooke, British Columbia. Over 2,000 Scouts and leaders from across Canada participated in the jamboree which is held every four years. The 2nd Kingsville Scouts fundraised for the past year, enabling 14 Scouts and five leaders to attend. For many of the kids, it was their first time away from home. The local Scouting group enjoyed activities such as archery, axe throwing, fencing, rock climbing, kayaking, paddle boarding and geocaching, as well as meeting fellow Scouts and leaders from all over the country.

their property and monitor potential risks. They should stay involved and support the development of solutions. “We have some major challenges and tough decisions ahead of us, but we must continue to work together to build a majority consensus for the best possible long-term solutions,” said Zuzek.

Section of Talbot Trail Road closed due to lake erosion WHEATLEY – Due to erosion from Lake Erie along the edge of Talbot Trail (old Highway #3) east of Wheatley and the resulting compromised structural integrity of the road, the

road is closed from Coatsworth Road to Stevenson Road until further notice. The closure is required to ensure public safety. All businesses along Talbot Trail will remain open.

Truck, Heavy and Large Load Traffic coming from Wheatley and Blenheim are advised to follow the posted detour route (D-1) which is by way of Wheatley Road and Middle Line. Local Traffic will be able to continue on Talbot Trail up to Coatsworth Road (coming from Wheatley) or up to Port Road (coming from Blenheim) where another detour route (D-1) will be posted around the full closure location on Talbot Trail. All other roads along Talbot Trail from Wheatley to Coatsworth Road and from Blenheim to Port Road (which includes Stevenson, Baldwin and Radmore Roads) will remain open. The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is currently in the process of conducting a Lake Erie erosion study. In addition, a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) will be initiated to fully evaluate this issue and determine recommendations for both short and long term solutions. Both studies will be completed in 2020. For more information and updates, visit www. chatham-kent.ca/constructionprojects

LEAMINGTON - When asked to make an exception regarding an eight-year-old bylaw, Leamington municipal council ‘signed’ up to the suggestion. Leamington Mennonite Home and Apartments submitted to council an application requesting for variances to Bylaw 110-11 — better known as “the Sign Bylaw” — in regards to two new structures it plans to erect on its properties at 1 Pickwick Drive and 2 Pickwick Drive. Council approved both variance requests, both of which included conditions that LMH is granted “a minor variance reducing the required front yard setback and reducing the required exterior side yard setback.” An extra condition for the sign intended for 2 Pickwick Drive also requires “reducing the size of the site visibility triangle.” The new sign to be erected at 1 Pickwick — to display the words “Leamington Mennonite Home” — will be situated diagonally and face the Oak-Pickwick intersection. Councillor Paul Tiessen noted that if the new signage can easily identify the area as one frequented by seniors, motorists may feel inclined to reduce their speeds while traveling in the vicinity. Although council accepted the variance requests for the signs themselves, the effects of the lighting that will accompany each sign was questioned. “I’m wondering if the lighting is going to be too intense,” noted Councillor Bill Dunn. “I wouldn’t want to see the lights shining through someone’s window and keeping them up at night.” Director of legal and legislative services Ruth Orton, who presented the report, noted that complaints of excessive lights from area residents can be brought up with the applicant.

2315 Hickson Rd. RR1, Wheatley

will take place at approximately 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 3 along Erie Street from Wilkinson Drive to Seacliff Park. Spectators are encouraged to come out and welcome the bikes back to town as they travel down Erie Street, and motorists are being asked to please be patient during this time so that the group can travel uninterrupted along the route. Other highlights of the weekend include concerts by rock legend Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe and country superstar Chris Janson as well as motocross stunt shows, custom bike show, OPP Golden Helmets Precision Motorcycle Team, bike games and more.

Essex County Ontario Provincial Police Inspector and Detachment Commander Glenn Miller speaks to Leamington municipal council while Essex County OPP Staff Sergeant and Operations Manager Brian Johnson listens on during council’s regular meeting Tuesday, July 9. The visit from Miller and Johnson was part of the agenda as a delegation where councillors and Mayor Hilda MacDonald voiced concerns over the frequency of crime in Leamington.

LEAMINGTON – Essex County Ontario Provincial Police representatives who appeared before municipal council heard mixed feedback on the state of crime and how it is policed in Leamington. Essex County OPP Inspector and Detachment Commander Glenn Miller and Staff Sgt. and Operations Manager for Leamington, Kingsville and Pelee Island Brian Johnson offered a verbal report on the status, strategies and objectives of the local OPP during the regular municipal meeting Tuesday, July 9. In return, the duo was met by a variety of concerns and opinions from members of council, ranging from empathy on the challenges the local law enforcement branch faces to disappointment with how frequent crime in the community is addressed. “I believe we as a council have every right to ask certain things from our police service and quite frankly, if they are not willing to give it to us, then we’ll find another service,” stated Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “To me, we have a city and we have city problems.” MacDonald went on to explain that she was not satisfied to see only one OPP officer present during the previous Friday’s Mill Street Market event, which she estimated was attended by 4,000 to 8,000 people. In general, the mayor stated that a more visible police presence on Leamington’s streets is crucial. “If you want to continue, then I suggest that we see numbers — that we see boots on the ground,” she continued. “We need to have a police force that knows how to fight crime, that knows how to deal with big cities. We aren’t the Leamington of 1965.” MacDonald requested statistics on the number of Essex County OPP officers deployed specifically to Leamington, noting that such figures should be provided to either the municipality’s Police Services “I believe we as Board or to council itself. a council have every “I would like to know if we are at full compleright to ask certain ment,” she explained. “If we’re not, what is the numthings from our police ber? Do we have six, do we have five or do we have service and quite one? I don’t want smoke blown. I want actual hard frankly, if they are not numbers — what are we paying for? If those officers willing to give it to us, are not here, are they in Tecumseh, where the lock-up then we’ll find another numbers are a third of ours? Are they in Kingsville, service.” where they’re a quarter of ours? We have a right to — Hilda know this. I want data to find out what we’re getMacDonald ting for the money we’re paying. We’re fighting for the life of this town — it is no longer what it used to be. What’s okay in Kingsville and Essex is not okay here.” Councillor Tim Wilkinson echoed some of the mayor’s concerns, noting that on some occasions when he asks residents to report concerns of criminal activity to the police, they reply with ‘I’ve kind of given up on that after a while’. Miller, who is stationed out of the Essex County OPP’s Manning Road office, previously explained that officers throughout the region, including Leamington, focus on a wide variety of matters including violent crime, property crime, illicit drugs including opioids, cyber-related crime, traffic initiatives, sexual violence and harassment, at-risk youths and human trafficking. “We will continue to focus on collaborative partnerships that include not only the police, but our partners such as education, health care and social services,” Miller noted. Wilkinson explained to the two OPP guests that Leamington has developed a reputation as an opioid “hotspot,” explaining that rampant drug abuse by some residents of Leamington Lodge have made life difficult for law abiding citizens in the Fox Street/Russell Street area. “We deal with all the negative side effects that come from it, whether it be theft, break and enters, prostitution, vicious assaults causing deaths and near deaths,” Wilkinson noted. “Why aren’t we seeing more projects or investigations that crack down on these illegal activities in Leamington? Leamington wants to see an improved service — it’s plain and simple.” (Continued on Page 7)

Yield right-of-way to vehicles with green flashing light A Message from Leamington’s Fire Chief LEAMINGTON – All drivers in Ontario are familiar with the emergency red flashing lights and sirens on police cars, ambulances and fire trucks, and know that they are required by law to pull to the right and stop when they see or hear them coming. But not everyone is aware of the firefighter’s green flashing light. In a large city, emergency vehicles are manned by full-time personnel who use the red lights and sirens to get through traffic to the scene of an emergency in a hurry. Seconds count in a fire or rescue situation, and time lost waiting in traffic can make a big difference. People who live in Leamington receive fire Leamington Fire Chief protection from part-time Andrew Baird firefighters, who have to respond from home and work to the fire hall in their own private vehicles. These vehicles are not equipped with red lights or sirens that make them stand out from any other vehicle on the road. When the call for help comes in, firefighters may be at their regular job, at the beach with the family or sleeping in the middle of the night. They drop what they are doing and immediately respond to the fire hall to drive the fire trucks to the emergency scene. But other drivers weren’t always aware that an emergency existed, and so they unknowingly held up firefighters that were on their way to an emergency. To help the public identify these firefighters responding in their own vehicles, the Highway Traffic Act allows for part-time and volunteer firefighters responding to emergencies to use a light that flashes green. The green light gives the firefighters no special privileges when responding to an emergency. It is used only as an identifier to the drivers of other vehicles so that they may give up their right-of-way and allow the firefighter to pass by to get to the emergency more quickly. If you see a vehicle with the tell-tale flashing green light activated, you now know it’s one of the firefighters on their way to help one of our neighbours. Remember, the home they are rushing to save, or life they are going to rescue, could be yours or someone you know. Please let them by!

Faith in Action starts summer with learning trip Several students and teachers from UMEI Christian High School’s Faith in Action Club spent their first day of summer vacation on a service and learning trip to Windsor. “It surprised me that there were so many people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Windsor,” said Grade 9 student Cara Braun. “I didn’t realize beforehand that these issues were happening so close to us.” The group started the trip with a walking tour of downtown Windsor with the Downtown Windsor Community Collaborative’s Bob Cameron who works to renew the city through neighbourhood community projects such as community gardens and houses. “It was so inspiring to see the work that can be done when people from all different backgrounds work together to create a community,” said teacher leader Chani Wiens. “It really challenged our students to think about how they treat their neighbours and how they can create solutions through partnerships.” The group then visited St. Leonard’s House, a halfway house for men transitioning out of federal prison. “I think it is important for us to be reminded that people make mistakes, but they are still people,” reflected Grade 11 participant Kathe Warkentin. “We tend to villainize criminals and almost look at them as inhuman.” Most students agreed that speaking with one of the resi-

dents was the most impactful part of the trip. Finally, the group spent a few hours with Racquele Smith at the Downtown Mission. They learned about the importance of language when working with people experiencing homelessness, and about the many creative ways to volunteer and get involved at the Mission. “I find myself being more grateful for things that I simply overlooked and didn’t think much of,” reflected Grade 9 student Amanda Unger the day after the trip. “This morning I woke up in a nice warm bed and thought that not everyone has this, which is incredibly sad and devastating to me.” The students left inspired and challenged to give back more next school year. “This trip changed my perspective about homelessness and the prison system and contradicted a lot of stereotypes that I believed in. It really inspired me to get involved and figure out what I can do to help,” said Braun. UMEI’s Faith in Action Club leader Chani Wiens is looking forward to more work like this trip next year. “This club will continue to play a vital role in the community. It is a privilege to work with such caring, dedicated, hard-working young people and gives me real hope for the future,” said Wiens.

The boys of summer I’ve crammed a lot of baseball into my 58 years on this earth, both as a fan and as a player. From those early years when Mrs. Hillman at the CIBC donated a mini baseball uniform to my mom, to the humid slo-pitch games I’ve been participating in over the past few weeks. As a small child, my baseball dreams were fulfilled just by hanging around my older brothers as they both played “All-Star” ball, representing Leamington all across Ontario. Those diamonds at Queen Elizabeth and Margaret D. Bennie schools were topnotch baseball Mark Ribble fields back in the 1960s. My earliest memories of my dad coaching the bantams and midgets to Ontario championships were great ones. As a youngster, I got to witness the rise of Ed and Gene Biekx as possibly the best double play combination in the county. I also saw Tom Tetzlaff put a homerun on the roof of the high school in Amherstburg. I witnessed the late Tom Barrie in his baseball prime and the same with the late John Riley. Those were two of this area’s top athletes and they both left us too young. I stayed home when the bantams went to Orillia and came home with the OBA title in 1965. I was four. They repeated the feat over the same opponent as midgets in 1967. That centennial year was also my first year swinging the bat on the ball diamond. Jim Wiper was the coach of the Kinsmen Pirates that year. We played our games directly behind the Rhine Danube Club and won the Atom championship. All of those fairground diamonds are distant memories now, from the little diamond to the fastball diamond to the hardball senior diamond which met its demise about 15 years ago. The fastball diamond hosted weekly fastball games and almost every summer featured a visit by the barnstorming fastball team, the California Cuties. I can still smell the popcorn roasting in Ray Leach’s popcorn wagon, served up in plain white paper bags with what seemed like gallons of buttery topping. My baseball career wound through several years of house league ball, unlike my brothers Dennis and Pat, who both excelled at early ages. I was a late bloomer and spent hours throwing pitches against the concrete block foundation of our clapboard house at Point Pelee. I eventually managed to make those “AllStar” teams. As a left-handed thrower like my uncle Sonny, I was unique in a society where being a southpaw had always been frowned upon. My mother always told me that Sonny had to learn to write with his right hand because the teachers of the day would rap his knuckles with a yard stick if he tried to write with the left. I soon found I could use my left-handedness to my advantage and began to emulate the top lefties such as Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton. At least that’s what I thought as I flung the hardball against the house and waited for it to bounce back to me. My years in Leamington Minor Baseball were great memories where I made many lifelong friends. I had some great coaches, from Henry Wheeler to Bob Wiper, Lew Webster and of course Carl Ribble. They all instilled in me a common sense approach to the game that still sticks with me to this day. As I pull on those old Adidas cleats for another game, those coaches weigh heavy on my mind and their instruction and knowledge of the game follow me when I’m faced with making a split second diamond decision. Life has come full circle now, with my oldest grandson trying out the game, even if the T-ball they play now is a far cry from the game we played in 1967. But I’ll save that rant for another column.

Caribbean Festival road closure denied By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington recently pointed out that timing and location are crucial, even when they’re centered around a particularly good idea. Members of Leamington council voted unanimously to deny a request to have a section of Talbot Street East closed off for a new festival based on both the event’s proposed scheduling and specific location. Devoney Brooks, owner and manager of Devon House Restaurant at 70 Talbot St. East, submitted an application to administration to have Talbot Street East closed to motor vehicle traffic from Erie Street North to Victoria Avenue. The closure, had it been approved, would have been made to accommodate the first ever Leamington Caribbean Cultural Festival. Members of council expressed enthusiasm about the idea, but were not convinced that the proposed date — Saturday, Aug. 3 — was the best available time slot. All members of council who commented on the festival’s street closure request voiced concerns over the date, which had long since been designated as the weekend for the annual Hogs For Hospice fundraiser. Councillor John Hammond echoed concerns regarding the festival’s proposed date and location,

also noting that maps have already been released to committed Hogs For Hospice participants with Talbot St. East highlighted as an optimal part of the route for visitors arriving from east of Leamington along Highway 3. “With a different weekend and a different location, I’m all for it,” Hammond said of the idea for a local Caribbean Festival. The submission for the festival submitted to administration requested the closure of Talbot East from Erie to Victoria from 7 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. to allow for set up and clean up before and after the 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. event. In addition to encouraging an alternate date, councillors also suggested a slight change in location. Deputy-Mayor Larry Verbeke encouraged the western section of Orange Street as a location, noting that it would still be within close proximity to Brooks’ res-

taurant and would cause far less disruption for traffic in the area. Other members of council agreed, pointing out that a western Orange Street venue would also allow the opportunity to utilize Dieppe Park as a site for some of the festival’s attractions. It was also declared that the alternate location would be convenient for visitors arriving by motor vehicle, considering the shorter distance from the municipal parking lot immediately southeast of the Mill Street/Princess Street intersection. Included in Brooks’ application was a description of the festival’s highlights, which would include outdoor barbecues, a refreshment stand, a bouncy castle and other inflatables, clowns, live music and multiple vendors. Within the application, it was noted that an estimated 250 visitors would attend the event.

“We would like to see it happen and see it become a success,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald of the Leamington Caribbean Cultural Festival, which Brooks noted would be open to members of the public representing all ages and ethnic backgrounds. “Our concerns have nothing to do with the nature of the festival.” Brooks explained that there would be ample detour options for drivers being denied access to the proposed Talbot Street East location, but councillors also expressed an interest in avoiding inconveniences for other business owners in the area. Ultimately, council voted unanimously in favour of administration’s recommendation to deny the proposed August 3 road closure, but also encouraged Brooks to continue working with the municipality to agree upon an alternative date and location for the same festival.

Council voices concerns on Leamington crime (Continued from Page 4) In response to some concerns, the Inspector pointed out that the Essex County OPP face several challenges with enforcement, ranging from 9-1-1 pocket dials and calls reporting non-police matters to the time-consuming process in obtaining search warrants from the courts. “We’re trying to go after the population that’s preying on vulnerable people in this community,” Miller said. “We’re not just simply arresting people and pushing them to courts because the courts end up returning those people back into the streets immediately. An arrest doesn’t always result in a prosecution.” Miller went on to explain that criminal activity enterprises from origins including Toronto, Hamilton, London, the east coast and out of country are also setting their sights on Leamington to pursue illegal practices including drug trafficking. “People enjoy coming to Leamington — Leamington is a nice community to live,” he noted. “We don’t want the bad guys to live here. We want to make life as miserable as possible for any individuals who are continuing to put drugs on the streets and feel that there’s no accountability for them — and we’re doing our best to hold those people accountable.” Johnson explained that many of the problems faced by Leamington are also prevalent in other regions across Southwestern Ontario. “We’ve taken a multi-pronged approach in getting to the drug dealers,” he said. “We’re moving drugs off the streets on a daily basis.”

RUSS

4 years old - Akita Mix - Hello, I’m Russ. I’m a sweet boy, and a beautiful Akita! It would be great if you are familiar with my breed and have experience. You see, I love people, I’m actually a very silly, excitable guy, but I may be selective of my favourites (loud and wild people are not my cup of tea). I would much rather not be with young children, so I think an adult only home would be best for me.

RUBIC

4 years old - Rubic is a puzzle you may never figure out and that’s just the way he wants it. He loves having your attention and being pet but he’ll keep you guessing about how many times you can pet him before he gives you a little love bite. There is one thing he lets you know immediately and that is not to pick him up. Rubic is best suited to an adult home.

James Street alterations ahead By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Parking issues for parents of Queen Elizabeth Public School students will soon be addressed. Leamington municipal council voted in favour of changes to James Street — running north/ south along the western boundary of the school — pertaining to a report created by director of legal and legislative services Ruth Orton and presented by manager of engineering services Allan Botham during council’s regular meeting Tuesday, June 25. The report recommended that council enter into an agreement with the Greater Essex County District School Board that would allow the stretch of gravel along the eastern edge of James Street to be paved and designated as parking spaces for parents to pick up and drop off children who attend Queen Elizabeth Public School. The report noted that the affected space is currently used for the same purpose. Under the agreement as approved by council, the now gravel section between James Street and school board property will be set up for 62 parking spaces that are to be used for student pick up and drop

off only. Also as part of the agreement, the school board will absorb all costs associated with paving and construction of the parking area as well as maintenance costs including snow and ice removal. The GECDSB will also cover the licensed lands with a certificate of general liability for both itself and the municipality to a minimum of $5 million. As the conditions of the new arrangement will restrict what is now the gravel ‘shoulder’ east of James Street from general public usage, a bylaw was required to enact the agreement. The report indicates that the 62 new paved parking spaces will not impact traffic or the general use of James Street to residents and the general public, as it affects only a surface area already used primarily for student pick up/drop off parking. For years prior, the Municipality of Leamington has fielded multiple reports and concerns about traffic flow and challenges regarding congestion and on-street parking along James Street, Maxon Avenue, Sherman Street and Wigle Street. Four years ago, the series of complaints prompted a traffic and parking study conducted by RC Spencer Associates for both Queen Elizabeth Public School and Ecole St-Michel located immediately south of the GECDSB facility.

Chatham-Kent conducting sidewalk winter maintenance survey Seeking residents’ preferences for snow and ice removal CHATHAM-KENT – Although it is the middle of July, the Municipality of Chatham-Kent Public Works Department is requesting resident preferences regarding sidewalk snow and ice removal for the next winter season. Public Works has launched a survey at www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/winter-control-sidewalk/ asking residents what level of service is preferred and the amount they are prepared to pay for the service level of their choice. In 2018, the province amended the Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS), adding, among other new requirements, an obligation to salt sidewalks to prevent and treat ice. The municipality does not currently salt sidewalks except in some downtown business areas. Ryan Brown, Director of Public Works, said the more information that Council and staff receive the better. “It’s important that Council receive this direction because decisions have to be made on this issue,” Brown said. “There could be direct impact on residents so we’re urging people to take the survey.” The survey is open until July 26 and takes less than five minutes to complete. No online registration or personal information is required to participate. An open house-style Public Information Centre (PIC) will take place at the Chatham-Kent Civic Centre (315 King St. W., Chatham) on July 29 from 5-7 p.m. The PIC will give citizens an opportunity to learn more about the changes to the MMS and a chance to ask questions and discuss options for compliance with representatives from the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Results from the survey and PIC will be combined and presented in a report to Council at a later date.

Mayors call for urgent action against Asian carp NATIONAL – At the 16th annual Conference of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Cities Initiative in June at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Canadian and U.S. mayors joined together in an urgent call for action against Asian Carp. Mayors from both countries signed the Mayors’ Declaration to Stop Asian Carp, highlighting the need to act quickly and decisively. The situation is particularly worrying at the Brandon Road Dam near Joliet, Illinois. A real choke point in the waterways leading to Lake Michigan, its protection is vital for the entire basin. Eating up to 40% of their weight in a single day, some Asian Carp can weigh from 80-100 pounds (35-45 kg). Reproducing at a frantic pace, they can quickly take control of an entire ecosystem. “Asian Carp are knocking on our door and we must, by all means at our disposal, prevent them from destroying the Great Lakes and eventually the St. Lawrence,” said Chatham-Kent mayor Darrin Canniff. “The risk posed by Asian Carp is real and the potential for PLAYING JULY 19 - JULY 25 damage is great, on both sides of the border.

Cooking with wine As W.C. Fields so eloquently put it, “I cook with wine; sometimes I even add it to the food.” This is definitely a case of truer words never having been spoken. Adding wine during the cooking process allows the alcohol to cook off, leaving you with wonderfully concentrated dish-enhancing flavours. And why not enjoy a glass of that wine while you’re cooking? I find that it relaxes me and I don’t Carmen Danner stress as much over the clock telling me that I have to get everything on the table – or ready for our guests – in however-many minutes. When cooking with wine, always cook with the same wine you’re going to serve with the meal; it just ties everything together that much better. Personally, I avoid anything labelled “cooking wine” as it can contain added salt and preservatives that I don’t want in my food. When you open the wine, if it smells “off” and you say to yourself that you would never drink it, then don’t cook with it either. Nobody wants to waste their time (not to mention the money spent on the ingredients) on a meal that they don’t want to eat or serve to their family or guests. It’s important to know the flavours you’re working with and looking to add. Cooking with white wine will concentrate any residual sugars in the wine and can add some sweetness to the dish along with the sought-after flavours. Cooking with red wine will concentrate the potentially bitter tannins, so it’s important to know some of the characteristics of the wine you’re cooking with. While this is a wine column, if you think I’m going to suggest you only cook with wine, you don’t know me very well. There’s just as much meal-enhancing flavour in a hearty stout or hoppy IPA, so if your palate leans toward craft brews, have at it! The same guidelines apply – especially if you’re enjoying that beer with the meal. There’s nothing to stop you from cooking with beer and serving the meal with wine (I’m dreaming of cheese fondue right now, which a friend of mine makes from scratch with beer) and I’m always suggesting you try new things, so once again I’d love for you to share your experiences with me. There’s also something to be said for adding stronger spirits to your cooking. Substitute vermouth for wine, for example, or try a shot of sherry in the pan while you sauté your mushrooms. And when baking, why not add some spiced rum to that carrot cake batter? Again, the alcohol will cook (or bake) off and you’ll get the benefit of that added kick of flavour that can leave your guests wondering what you did to make it taste so good. So while you’re enjoying samples of wine at one of our local wineries this summer, remember to ask yourself, “How would this make my (insert your favourite recipe here) better?”

Police continue to receive complaints about Amber Alerts Don’t call 911 to complain The Ontario Amber Alert program is an instrumental tool in assisting both the public and police with locating an abducted child who may be in danger. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind the public that calling 911 or any emergency service communication centre is not an appropriate venue to complain about Amber Alerts. The decision to utilize the Ontario Amber Alert is based on established criteria and is not taken lightly. In 2019, there has been five Amber Alerts activated. As a direct result of these alerts, four assisted in the safe return of the child/children and one with the apprehension of a suspect. The OPP recognizes the inconvenience the alert may cause, but will not apologize for using all of the tools available to help locate a child. The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) mandated the broadcasting industry to distribute emergency alert messages, which includes Amber Alerts. As of April 2018, compatible wireless networks (wireless public alerting) were included in this mandate. The only option to not receive these alerts to a mobile device is to have your device turned off. However, if your device is turned off you will be unable to receive any emergency alert that may contain information of imminent danger in your area.

U13 Boys host Ontario Cup event By Bryan Jessop

This year’s Ontario Cup qualifying tournament proved a valuable learning experience for the Leamington SC United Under 13 boys team. Playing at a highly competitive level of soccer for the first time, the Leamington club hosted the annual three-day event Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 14 at the Leamington Soccer Complex. Guest teams included Glen Shields FC, the Bolton Wanderers and Pickering Power Green. Leamington finished with a record of one win and two losses while the undefeated Bolton team advanced to the quarterfinals against the winner of the qualifier hosted by Kitchener. “Everyone on our team played well,” explained SC United U13 Boys manager Dan Rino. “We’re not a 12-month soccer team. We’ve got a lot of kids who play hockey while GTA teams train and practice together for months and months.” For Leamington, the round robin schedule started Friday evening against Glen Shields, which hails from the Vaughan-Thornhill area. SC United dominated the game with an 8-0 victory, backed by goals from Jak Thiessen (3), Elijah Pezzotti (2), Cam Arquette (2) and Luca Rino. On Saturday, Bolton won its second game in as many attempts with a 6-0 “We’re a victory over Leamington. The third and final game well-rounded for SC United was played team with a lot Sunday, July 14, ending of depth.” in a 2-1 win for Picker— Dan Rino ing. Pezzotti opened the scoring for Leamington to establish a 1-0 lead that stood until the halftime break. Pickering tied the game in the second half and then went ahead on a penalty kick to secure the win. “It was a close game that could have went either way,” Rino explained. Rino explained that Leamington will likely again apply to host Ontario Cup qualifiers for the 2020 season. Last season was the first for Leamington to host the annual event and last week, the U16 Boys hosted the event, finishing with

The shot of the day went to Guy McIntyre on the 12th par 4. His second shot from the fairway managed to find the hole for an eagle two. Great shot, Guy. Don’t forget to sign up for next week’s golf.

On Sunday, July 14, St. John-Worth’s fight against Quinten Broad was billed as the main event of Rumble on the River, a first-of-its-kind event held in Windsor at Festival Plaza near Ceasar’s Casino. St. John-Worth, who competes in the 64 kg/140 lb. Men’s Elite class in Canada, won the bout in a unanimous 3-0 decision against the Windsor fighter. On Saturday, July 20, St. John-Worth will make a trip to Sarnia to take on Scottish national champion Martin Kerr. (Submitted photo)

Possible record set by Talbot Trail senior golfer By Bob McLean

followed by the terrific scores shot by Joe Drummond (40) and Herb Reid (41). Randy Nash, Jamie Arquette and John Liddell all earned very superb 42s. Commendable results of 46 or less were achieved by the following players: Gerry van Deven 43, Dave Overholt 44, Dave Omstead 45, Wiz, Bummy and Shannanigan 46s. In the 70-79y grouping, Dutchy tied Mr. Dunn by shooting a masterful 37. Pat Hill came in second with a brilliant 40. Bobo and BW tied for third with terrific 41s. Doug Langlois’ 44 was closely followed by the commendable 45s produced by Ray la Pierre, Joe Vrtel and Vic Reynaert. Other seniors who earned results less than 50 were Al Matthews, Dave Dent, Mac Hyatt, Mike Getty, Bob Scott, Gary Honey, Wayne Humber, Gus Brown, Don Willan and Gary Benninger. Scoop Epplett merited a nifty 50! The 80-85 division was very closely contested last week. Tied for first place were Mike Wright and Tom Hyatt. Bob Freure earned a commendable nifty 50. Other gratifying scores went to Carl Robinson, Bill Edwards, Ed Woelk, Pete Daudlin and Andy Orsini. The super senior grouping was once again led by Mr. Golf, Dave la Bonte, who shot an excellent 49. Erle Nash, Murray Cascadden and Gerry Becigneul were only a few shots back of Dave. Golf instructor: “Your trouble is you’re not addressing the ball correctly.” Senior golfer: “Yeah, well, I’ve been polite to the bloody thing long enough.” ONE OF A KIND TREASURES & DELIGHTS Two senior golfers were sitting at the 19th hole sipping their beverages while they also discussed their games.

On Tuesday, July 9, there were 72 Talbot Trail senior golf league members and one guest, Pat Amicone, participating in the weekly game. With the course in top condition and the weather so beautiful, members might have expected lower scores. However, tough pin placements, possibly left over from the Monday night league play, might have proved extra challenging for many. I’m not sure, but I think Doug Langlois might have established a new record when he won both the long putt on #2 (14 feet) and closest to the pin on #9 (8 feet). Doug also fired a very gratifying 44. In the 70 and under division, Tom Dunn made his presence known by shooting an excellent 37. He was closely

Jr. Barons mercy Belle River The Leamington Jr. Barons, sponsored by Caxton Mark, scored five runs in the fourth inning and then four runs in the fifth inning on their way to an impressive 13-3 victory over visiting Belle River on Tuesday evening, July 7. Crafty southpaw Cat Morin started on the mound against their county rivals and went the distance striking out four. Ryan Wall led the Barons offensively with a first inning homerun and followed that up two innings later with a standup double. Every player stroked at least one safety in a winning cause. Defensively, Dawson Iles nailed an over-zealous Belle River base runner trying to go from first to third to end the fourth inning. A perfect throw was never closer.

Progs golf report Another hot, steamy day blistered the Proggers at Erie Shores Golf Club on July 10. It’s amazing how a couple of weeks ago we were in a constant state of rain with no carts. Now many of the golfers require the carts. One such person is Brian Plumb. Brian is a regular rider who is chauffeured around the course by Mike Herbert. Last week, Brian had to drive and he was alone in the cart. Brian has shown that he is a creature of habit. Every time he left the cart, he automatically jumped into the passenger side. He was even seen driving the cart from the passenger side along #4 fairway. Bill Slater was put into an intimidating situation where he had to golf with Neil Sawatzky, Ken Segedin and Bill Ruiter. The total of the three handicaps was 14, while Bill’s handicap is 24. They allowed Bill to do two things: hit first except for seven times when the other guys had birdies and the second thing was to hold the flagstick because he was down and out of the hole. I golfed with Tim Tiessen, Mel Davey and Gord Andersen. Through a mix-up, I golfed with Tim for a second time. The previous week he was +10. Last week he was +1. Somewhere he lost his mojo but I have dozens of mojo golf balls if he needs some. Mel was his usual friendly self until he missed a very short putt. The putt was about 12 inches and he hit it 11.5 inches. Gord has been practicing diligently with his driver. Last week he was propelling the ball in the air with a draw flight. Granted they were heading for the trees, but improvement nonetheless. His putting still reeks but he started copying what I was doing. Sure enough, putts started to fall. Now I need him to tell me what I was doing right. The $10 winning team was Bill Kelly, Henry Hildebrandt, Jim Chobdra, Bob Park, Robert Hudders, Vic Penner, Steve O’Hara, Neil Reimer, Bill Gherasim, Mel Davey, Alden Warner, Bill Ruiter, Ron Tremblay and Dennis McDonald. First high plus was a tie with +10 by Jim Chobdra and Vic Tiessen ($17 each). Third high plus was a three-way tie between Pete Andary, Tom Miehl and Ron Tremblay ($3 each). Skins for $31 each were won by Tom Miehl #2, Richard Reive #10 and Tom Miehl #14.

The Journal’s first goal was scored by Jessica Prudence and Johnston’s goal was scored by Sarah Meeke. Johnston’s finished in fourth place.

Major Mosquitoes defeat Essex This past weekend saw two games for Leamington Lakers Major Mosquitoes, sponsored by Leamington Chevy-Buick-GMC. On Friday, July 12 the boys face their toughest opponent of the season, the Windsor Stars AAA Major Mosquitoes. The Lakers seemed a little in awe of their opponents to begin with, allowing four runs in the first inning alone. This pattern followed in the second inning before Rhys Tipper found more of a groove at the mound, slowing the Stars down enough in the third and fourth inning to allow the Lakers bats to retaliate, and they did. Singles from Chris Joseph, Zack Liebrock, Kurtis Joseph and a double from Noah Friesen saw the Lakers respond with five runs of their own in the fourth. The comeback continued into the fifth as Max Carr and Matthew Giesbrecht scored RBIs and another three runs were put in the board to reduce the deficit to 12-9. Unfortunately, Windsor had a response of their own and put the game to bed with seven runs in the sixth to end the game. However, this showed the team that they can compete with a

Wildcats take a win On July 9, the U13 Wheatley Wildcats soccer team, sponsored by Ives Insurance Brokers Ltd., faced Stoney Point on home pitch. The Wildcats took the win 4-2. Wildcats goals were scored by Colton Selwood (3) and Kaleb Jardim.

AAA team. On Sunday, July 14 the Lakers faced Essex and were off to a flyer and never looked back. Four runs were scored in the first, thanks to a triple from Giesbrecht. Essex responded with three runs of their own, but after that the Lakers stretched ahead. Josh Joseph hit an incredible three home runs in the first, third and fifth inning. Grant Symons led from the mound, pitching four

innings and striking out seven. Hits from Owen Deneau and Tipper, three from Liebrock and Kurtis Joesph and RBIs from Trent Szorvas, Friesen and Max Carr, including a home run, racked up another four runs in the fifth as the Lakers finished the game in the fifth inning, winning 14-4. This weekend they travel to take part in the London Tecumseh tournament. Good luck, boys!

Model A Ford with gull-wing doors Blake Hunter of Leamington has been surrounded by hot rods his whole life. His dad, Roy Hunter, was driving around town in the late 1950s in a Model A Ford roadster with 15-inch whitewall tires and a hopped-up ’48 Merc flathead under the hood. Now fast forward to 1995 when Blake bought two Model A Ford bodies in Tecumseh and brought them home. His dad built one up into a street rod and Blake built up the other one. A Model A frame was found at a swap meet and has been boxed for extra rigidity. Other parts were also found at swap meets and some parts were purchased from Paul Horton, whose big ad Bill Sherk always appears in Old Autos newspaper. Blake’s car was finished in 1999, only four years after just starting with a body. Blake has mounted a serial plate on the firewall with the 1999 completion date. The most striking feature is the pair of gull-wing doors that rise up to let you in. They are opened by hatch props custom built for this car by Lift Gate Technology in Winnipeg. Other features include a five-inch chop for the top and an all-Ford drive train with a late model Ford V8 under the hood. The gas filler neck has been moved to the driver’s side of the car down low just behind the driver’s door and is activated by pressing a button. The original gas cap is still on the cowl in front of the windshield and covers the lock activated by a key to get into the car. I took photos of Blake’s Model A at the 3rd Annual All-Ford Car Show at the historic Essex Railway Station on the afternoon of Friday, June 7. Blake was there with his daughter Jocelyn and his grandson Bodhi.

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

Blake Hunter’s 1931 Model A Ford with grandson Bodhi.

The photo you see here shows Blake’s grandson beside the car, raising the likelihood that another generation of the Hunter family will be street rodders. And with Blake recently retired from the Lally Ford dealership in Leamington, he will have plenty of time to show his grandson that in this hobby, the fun never ends! I’m always looking for stories.

Three local spots named to Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining Restaurant reservation service Open Table, which offers online booking for tens of thousands of dining spots in the U.S. and Canada, puts three local restaurants, Oxley Estate Winery (Harrow), Mettawas Station Mediterranean Restaurant (Kingsville), and The Keg Steakhouse & Bar (Windsor), on a list of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining. The list features restaurants from six provinces across Canada, and reflects the opinions of OpenTable diners from April 30, 2018 to March 31, 2019. OpenTable based the awards on each restaurant’s overall diner rating, user clout and regional reviews. In total, there were 50 restaurants in Ontario chosen for the list, up from 41 a year earlier. “Outdoor dining is synonymous with summer – there’s no better way to soak up the sun and celebrate the season than with an outdoor table at one of this year’s winning restaurants,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable’s Chief Dining Officer.

Professional services joining forces

LEAMINGTON – Baker Tilly Trillium LLP, a leading southwestern Ontario accounting firm, is proud to announce it has launched a formal affiliation with Pearsall, Marshall, Halliwill & Seaton LLP (PMHS Law) and Ingenuity Counsel, two independent legal firms. The professional services of accounting and law are rarely formally affiliated in Ontario and indeed throughout Canada. A unique business offering, Baker Tilly Trillium will provide corporate commercial, real estate, family, estates and U.S./cross-border legal services through this affiliation. Due to regulatory requirements, all legal services branches will remain separate entities from Baker Tilly Trillium, but the two consultancies will function (as allowed by industry regulation) as a joint group for the purposes of branding and marketing, resource management and most importantly the holistic provision of specialty client services. Augmenting the financial offerings Baker Tilly Trillium provides to its clients, PMHS Law and Ingenuity Counsel will be available as extended services to meet the legal needs of clients and vice versa. Baker Tilly Trillium managing partner, Jason Melo, explains, “As providers of expertise that often overlap in terms of a client’s needs, this is a tremendous opportunity to provide the combined professional services of law and accounting.” He continues, “Our firm’s dedication to innovative growth and the provision of unique specialty services is not limited to financial offerings. By affiliating with these teams, we are gaining access to like-minded business leaders who are growth-oriented and provide exceptional client service. We are creating complementary business support capabilities that are value-adds for our clients.” “The legal services and accounting industries have long missed out on the opportunity to combine resources and client acquisition/management processes,” says David Halliwill, managing partner of PMHS Law. “We can provide greater value to our clients together, saving them time, expense and the headache of working with two separate sets of professionals.” Michael Kennedy, founder of Ingenuity Counsel, explains the value of this affiliation and integration with Baker Tilly Trillium, “There is consistently an accounting component to the legal work we provide (and the opposite is true as well), which we were previously sending out-of-house. Now, clients will neither have to explain the complexity of their joint legal/accounting needs nor search on their own for the right experts to address them.” “This is a game-changing new specialty service that showcases the ingenuity and boldness of our firm and our consistent dedication to creating value for clients,” added Melo.

WFCU announces recipients of Community Donations Fund WINDSOR/ESSEX COUNTY – On June 21, WFCU Credit Union (WFCU) announced the recipients of its 2019 Community Donations Fund.

The Community Donations Fund is a significant element of WFCU’s overall community engagement program, Inspire.
