KINGSVILLE – Multi Juno Award winner Serena Ryder will headline the 2019 Kingsville Folk Festival on Friday, August 9, joining an already impressive list of Canadian music all-stars who have headlined in the past. Although only in its sixth year, the Kingsville event has already featured Alan Doyle, Bruce Cockburn, Sylvia Tyson and Buffy Sainte-Marie. The Festival, which will be held August 9-11 at Lakeside Park in Kingsville, was the brainchild of John and Michele Law, themselves notable Canadian musicians. It was started under the umbrella of the Sun Parlour Folk Music Society whose mission is to bring world class folk, acoustic and world music, with an emphasis on Canadian artists, to Southwestern Ontario through the Festival and an ongoing concert series, the Road to Folkfest Series. Sun Parlour Folk Society is the only not for profit organization in the region dedicated to promoting live music and the Kingsville Folk Music Festival is the only folk festival west of London. Each year, it donates a portion of its proceeds back into the community, through a program called the MAY FUNd (Music and Arts for Youth Fund), which provides financial support and scholarships for youth to access arts workshops, mentoring and lessons. “When we moved to this area, we noticed there was no major folk music festival west of London,” said Kingsville’s Artistic

Director Michele Law. “We decided to create a not-for-profit and try to develop a destination event for the area.” “We’ve hit our stride in the last couple of years,” Michele said. “Word is spreading. People have really become aware of the Fest and they’re now reaching out to us, wanting to collaborate in some way — to volunteer, sponsor, perform or partner. We’re very excited about what’s in store.”
She also added that there was lots of room to grow. “Lakeside Park is a unique, wonderful venue,” Michele said. “It allows us all kinds of opportunities to expand in the future.” In addition to a great weekend of music, the Festival features culinary delights in a food village that features local ma and pa restaurants, a Celebrate Family area for children, an artisan market place promoting handcrafted Canadian originals, hands-on activities and workshops, Pelee Island wines and Grove craft beer. Early bird weekend passes for the Fest are available for $80, for a limited time. The full lineup for the festival is expected to be annouced in early April.

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Business Improvement Association is hoping a new program will prove ‘uplifting’ for commercial establishments in the uptown area. The local BIA is offering opportunities for its 220 membership businesses to make aesthetic upgrades to their buildings through a program known as the Uplift Grant. A successful application from a business or property owner within the BIA boundaries will earn up to $500 in support of appearance-related upgrades to facades for brick or woodwork, masonry, metal cladding, signage, painting, exterior lighting, redesigned shot fronts, accessibility improvements, canopy/awning replacements and other enhancements. The Leamington BIA’s board of directors will consider applications for Uplift grants from each eligible business or building owner up to once per year depending on the availability of funds earmarked for the ongoing project. For 2019, the BIA has set aside new funding to be allocated specifi-
cally for Uplift. The grant began in the summer of 2018 as a BIA pilot project and was greeted by five applications prior to the New Year. Another three applications for Uplift were submitted in February. “This is an opportunity to do something “This is an fairly inexpenopportunity to do sively that will something fairly make a huge iminexpensively that pact,” explained will make a huge Leamignton BIA impact.” executive direc— Kelly tor Kelly BaillarBaillargeon geon. “It doesn’t take a lot to make a difference, and when people see the investments, it could draw new economic development.” Last year, the Leamington BIA conducted a public survey where the organization asked

what improvements would be top priorities for the uptown business sector. The most prevalent responses were that the region’s overall appearance was substandard and that visitors to the area often felt unsafe. In response, the BIA introduced two grants — Uplift to address the uptown Leamington’s appearance and a Security Camera Grant in response to public safety. The Business Improvement Association’s Uplift Grant is a separate program from the Municipality of Leamington’s Community Improvement Program (CIP), although Baillargeon explained that Uplift could be utilized to compliment improvements made through the CIP. She also noted that aesthetic upgrades to specific regions of urban centres act as crime deterrents — another objective of Uplift. Any eligible business or property owner interested in acquiring an application for an Uplift grant can contact the Leamington BIA at P.O. Box 666 Leamington, ON N8H 1X1, by emailing info@leamingtonbia.com or visiting the website www.leamingtonbia.com.

Gaffan’s evolving relationship with music By Pat Bailey
Reid Gaffan’s musical career began as a love/hate relationship. It began with guitar lessons at 11, lessons he despised at times. But with parents who insisted he finish something he started, Reid was eventually glad they did. The love/hate relationship was replaced by pure passion for music, a hobby that has consumed his life since. Reid, who recently turned 25, credits Kingsville District High School music teacher Tim Shultz for recognizing his natural gift and encouraging him to follow that passion. For Reid, who labels his style of music as alternative and classic rock, the encouragement is beginning to pay off. He already has one album out, ‘After Thought’, which is available on Apple Music and iTunes and has enjoyed radio play on The River (93.9 FM) during its Sunday series featuring the music of local musicians. While dad Tony isn’t afraid to express his pride on hearing his son’s music on the radio, Reid prefers to hear the reaction of others. While it’s ‘cool’ knowing your music is being heard by those who still listen to the radio, Reid said he finds it more rewarding to have others enjoy his style of music. “It’s just way cooler to have others tell you they heard you on the radio,” he laughed. An old soul at heart, Reid said he admits to being a little obsessed with the music of The Doors. The love of the ’60s/’70s classic rock has lent itself well with the love of The Beatles, by friend and vocalist Michael Melo who he met through their mutual love of music, and the two have teamed up on several ‘classic rock’ style songs that Reid has written. Reid said he and Michael have been working together for about a year, but admits he would love to find a band to play with. He credits another area musician, Luc Michaud, with helping him with his album and his success to date. Reid said he was looking for someone to produce his

Kingsville hires integrity commissioner KINGSVILLE – The Town of Kingsville agreed unanimously on the appointment of an integrity commissioner and he's no newcomer to the municipality. Lawyer Paul Watson will serve as the town's integrity commissioner for the next two years. Currently the IC for Chatham-Kent, Watson has also provided such services to Kingsville since May 2017. The appointment followed the recommendation by Jennifer Astrologo, Director of Corporate Services. Astrologo told Council in a report that Watson requested no monthly or annual retainer for his services, instead opting to bill the town at an hourly rate. Watson is also based in Chatham-Kent, meaning minimal travel costs involved, with no need for accommodation expenses. His duties with the town began March 1 and will continue through February 28, 2021.

album and did what most young people do today – he googled local music studios and Luc’s name popped up with Highland Music Studio. A member of Big Wiggle, Reid said Luc has been instrumental in the recording of his album, as well as providing the percussion for his songs. For now, Reid said he will continue serving his customers at Jose’s Bar & Grill, but he is hopeful to one day make a living doing what he loves most. He will continue to dedicate time every day to writing music but admits, “I don’t really consider myself a lyricist.” After writing the music, Reid said he then focuses on attempting to put words to his music. Until he finds a band though, Reid will continue plugging away in search of dedicated musicians who share his passion. Finding a group to tour with, or even perform locally, would be music to his ears.
KINGSVILLE – In a move that once again says thank you to veterans and current members of the military, Kingsville Council approved a recommendation by Andrew Plancke, Director of Municipal Services, to help expand the local Salute to Veterans Project. Plancke recommended Council allocate the more that $36,700 remaining from the Main Street Revitalization Grant from 2018 to the Veterans Banner project including the amount of $6,300 for the purchase of new banner arms for the additional banners that have been requested. The remaining funds were earmarked for the cost of the installation of the arms and the hanging of the banners, as well as streetscape improvements in the form of new benches, garbage containers, planters and bike racks.
New policy for maternity/parental leave of a council member KINGSVILLE – While many Kingsville councillors agreed that a new policy should have no direct impact on the current Council, they agreed to a new policy regarding pregnancy and parental leave. In a report to Council, Human Resources Manager Jennifer Galea said a policy had to be implemented by March 1 in accordance with government regulations. The policy would leave it up to the member of Council to determine how much or how little they participate in town business during their leave of 20 weeks or less. Galea admitted there is a grey area and said amendments can be made down the road if necessary. Council members will be required to fill out forms outlining their expected start and return date for leave at least four weeks prior to the anticipated leave regarding pregnancy, the birth of a member's child or adoption of a child. While the member cannot be replaced in office, Council can make temporary appointments to fill vacancies left on committee or boards during the member's leave. Honorariums will continue to be paid.

Essex-Windsor EMS gets approval to order seven new ambulances By Ron Giofu
ESSEX COUNTY – The County of Essex has given authorization to Essex-Windsor EMS to purchase seven new ambulances. Essex County Council has approved the purchase of the Crestline Coach Type III ambulances at a budgeted amount of $1,330,000 plus HST. Essex-Windsor EMS chief Bruce Krauter noted the quotation is $23,575 over budget when the non-refundable HST is calculated, but stated the negative variance will be remediated through the sale values received for the decommissioned vehicles. Krauter noted that Essex-Windsor EMS became aware in the fall of 2018 that DemersBraun Ambulance acquired Crestline Coach Ltd. and that meant that there is only one manufacturer or company certified to provide ambulances in Ontario. Of the seven ambulances being acquired by Essex-Windsor EMS, five of them were nonhybrid ambulances with power lifting devices, one hybrid ambulance with a power load lifting device and one hybrid ambulance without a power load lifting device. “It should be noted that a power load lifting device currently installed within the fleet will be removed and returned to service in the new vehicle,” Krauter reported to Essex County Council. While noting that the use of hybrid ambulances is growing across Ontario and Canada, Krauter said Essex-Windsor EMS wants to “test the waters” with them before ordering more of them. The Stryker Power Load Systems that are being installed in the new ambulances assist paramedics and also helps reduce the amount of WSIB claims put into EssexWindsor EMS, he noted. “With the 2019 proposed ambulance purchase, the entire fleet will be equipped with the Stryker Power Load System, continuing the efforts to make the paramedic workplace as safe as possible and reducing lengthy and costly injuries,” Krauter stated in his report to County Council. Krauter pointed out that the Essex-Windsor EMS department has a current fleet of 39 front line ambulances, 14 emergency response vehicles, one logistics vehicle, one administration vehicle, one special operations trailer, one HAZMAT trailer and one off-road transportation vehicle.

LEAMINGTON – Plans for a multi-purpose construction project for Coronation Avenue designed in part to ‘curb’ the threat to pedestrian traffic in the area have been approved. After a discussion period where the impact of changes were brought to light, Leamington municipal council approved the proposed parameters of reconstruction along Coronation Avenue. The changes will affect sidewalks, curbs and that street’s portion of an ongoing project to convert combined sewer systems into separated sewers that will improve the environmental impact of sewage overflows at Seacliff Beach and surrounding Lake Erie waters. In part, Coronation reconstruction would feature a new sidewalk to be installed along the south side of the street. “We’d improve That approach was suggested following public input from pedestrian crossing a November, 2017 Public Information Centre (PIC) where safety and provide residents of the affected area stated that the project should more space for avoid the removal of mature trees. Manager of engineering accessibility ramps.” services Allan Botham explained that placing the sidewalk — Allan along the south side would require the removal of only two Botham mature trees — a less significant impact than what construction would have required with a new sidewalk along the street’s north side. Residents who attended the 2017 meeting also wanted the sidewalk as close to the road as possible and expressed concerns about property accessibility during construction. Additionally, bulb outs — rounded curbs along intersections that will extend the pedestrian area into what are currently the end corners of the street at both ends — are being planned for the reconstruction process. The bulb outs are intended to improve pedestrian safety in the area and compliment the aesthetic appearance of the affected intersections. Some members of council expressed concerns over the reduced width of Coronation near the Erie and Sherk intersections caused by bulb outs, to which Botham explained there would still be approximately 6.8 metres (22 feet) of road between the new, rounded out curbs. “We’d improve pedestrian crossing safety and provide more space for accessibility ramps,” he noted. “It will also provide visual cues that motorists are entering the area.” The new sidewalk, meanwhile, would be about five feet wide and near the property line for residents on the south side of the street, creating a boulevard about 10 feet in width. Affected lengths of Coronation will be about one foot narrower following reconstruction, a factor alleviating concerns from council members who did not want to see the loss of roadside parking availability. Botham replied stating that parking would still be permissible on both sides of Coronation. Botham stressed the importance of awarding the contract for street reconstruction on Coronation by March 26, which he stated should allow for completion by the early August Hogs For Hospice weekend.

Local entries win big at Autorama By Bryan Jessop
From customs to classics, the southeast quadrant of Essex County was well represented at an internationally renowned car show this year. The 67th Detroit Autorama came to a close Sunday, March 3 with three first-place awards finding homes in Kingsville and Leamington. While Kingsville District High School’s Auto Tech Zone class took top honours in the High School Custom and Special Interest Motorized Design categories, Leamington’s Gino Delciancio won first place in the Conservative Hardtop 1955-’59 class.
Leamington resident Gino Delciancio reveals his first prize plaque for the Conservative Hardtop 1955-’59 category earned at the 67th annual Detroit Autorama. Delciancio entered his 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, which was also featured as the December 2018 car in a recent international auto calendar contest.
Dragula 2.0, a recently-completed project for 14- to 17-year-old Kingsville District High School Auto Tech Zone students, is displayed at the 67th annual Detroit Autorama. The car, a one-anda-half year project at the local high school, took first pace in High School Custom and Special Interest Motorized Design categories.
Kingsville high school creation wins two awards The KDHS creation Dragula 2.0 — a customized coffin-shaped hot rod inspired by the 1960s sitcom The Munsters — took the two awards on behalf of its KDHS 14- to 17-year-old creators while Delciancio’s 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air allowed the Leamington classic car enthusiast to add to his collection of car show accolades. Dragula 2.0 was built by between 80 to 100 KDHS students over the past three semesters after Auto Tech Zone teacher Gord Osborne presented the idea as a side project a year-and-a-half ago. More than 20 of those students were able to attend this year’s three-day
Autorama along with their parents. “It was amazing. We couldn’t believe it,” Osborne said of the moment he and his students discovered that their creation had earned not one but two firstplace awards. “We were all jumping up and down after we found out. The whole experience was a lot of fun, exhausting and totally worth it. Most owners there meant business — they wanted to see what they could get out of it. We were just happy to be there. Winning two awards was the icing on the cake.” Osborne was chatting with a man from Brantford among the 1,000 attendees
in the Cobo Center ballroom to hear announcements of the judges’ decisions when images on a set of large video screens revealed that Dragula 2.0 had won its second award. For each category, the screens displayed four or five finalists before the winners were revealed. “To be honest, I wasn’t paying attention,” Osborne said of the moment that his students’ creation was declared the Special Interest Motorized Design winner. “I didn’t think we’d have a chance. The gentleman I was talking to suddenly looked up and said ‘hey, you won!’ I still can’t believe it — none of us can.” In the High School Cus-

Leamington man adds to Autorama award collection Local auto enthusiast Gino Delciancio has found that four out of five ain’t bad. In fact, he considers it quite an honour. The Leamington resident has won his fourth firstplace award with his third 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, this time becoming overall winner in the Conservative Hardtop 1955-’59 category. The honour was earned one year after his grey and white ’55 Bel Air — which he has since sold — won the same
category in 2018. Delciancio first entered a vehicle for the Detroit Autorama in 1978, the year after he bought his first 1955 Bel Air that donned a green and white paint scheme and was powered by a 265 cubic inch small block V8. That year, his first ‘55 was entered on the show’s lower floor, along with unrestored rat rods. After putting in more time to refurbish the car, he entered it again in 1984 and then in 1986, win-

Collision and Leamington’s Chapman Signs chipped in with the project, performing bodywork that couldn’t be done at KDHS and body wrap graphics, respectively. Unique projects are nothing new for Osborne’s auto shop classes. About seven years ago, it became the first high school in Ontario to build its own electric car. Three years ago, his students created the “Mercedes Monster” — a monster truck with a Mercedes Benz body on a shortened Ford van chassis sitting atop 44” combine tires. “I like to give students a reason to look forward to coming to high school,” Osborne explained.

ning both times in the Restored division. The green and white car won more than 200 awards before Delciancio sold it in 2001. The class Delciancio entered this year allows for minimal modification, requiring a mostly stock appearance for entries. He estimated that the division included well over a dozen entries for 2019, each of which was award worthy. “Any one of them could have won it this year,” Delciancio said. “They were all beautiful cars. I was surprised that I won.” In preparation for this year’s Autorama, Delciancio put in countless hours preparing the Bel Air to keep it looking its best. With assistance from fellow local classic car enthusiast Derrick Tassey, he removed, polished and re-installed all the car’s chrome and stain(Continued on page 5)

Celebrating International Women’s Day By Pat Bailey
The South Essex Community wasn’t about to let International Women’s Day pass unnoticed. On Friday, March 8, members of the SECC invited area women to celebrate with them at the Leamington Lebanese Club while collecting feminine hygiene products for Hiatus House. The special day, set aside to address the rights of women and their accomplishments, included dinner, music, dancing, a vendors’ market and a special panel of women sharing their experiences within their own careers. Rather than just address the audience, the group instead, engaged in a conversation-style presentation. The guests of honour included Carolyn Warkentin, executive director of SECC; Gemma Smyth, associate dean and professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Windsor; Senior Constable Cealia Gagnon, of the Windsor Police Service; and Tracey Bailey, chief executive officer for the Community Support Centre of Essex County and Deputy Mayor of Lakeshore. Featuring the theme, ‘Better the Balance, Better the World’, Warkentin kicked off the evening by asking the other three their thoughts on ways to improve the balance in the work environment. For Bailey, one important thing was to make sure you leave emotions out of the decision-making process. Gagnon encouraged the more than 150 women in attendance to help develop programs that benefit both men and women — even if they don’t directly affect them — while Smyth urged the women to work just as hard as their male counterparts. When it comes to what they bring to their career of choice, Gagnon said women definitely bring compassion and sensitivity to the male dominated profession of policing.

“Women do great work,” said Smyth. She said by including them on boards, better decisions are made. As far as supporting other women, Bailey urged others to celebrate the successes of their female counterparts. “Accept when one woman succeeds,” she said. “We all do.” Bailey said mutual support is important and always remember how things were. Warkentin asked the women how they can make a deliberate effort to better maintain balance, while notoriously not participating in their own self care. Bailey told the group there are two philosophies she follows. One, she said, is “while you’re there — you’re there.”
Leamington man adds to Autorama award collection Continued from page 4 less steel exterior pieces. Along with Blake Hunter — yet another friend and fellow classic car owner — the “Shoe Box” Chevy’s owner replaced both front and back bumpers with new versions that arrived two days before Autorama 2019 started. “The small details make a big difference,” Delciancio noted. “It’s also about how you display the car. All those things add up. The judges always notice those things and so do the spectators. I was surprised by how many young people stopped to have a look — there were five or six at a time taking photos.” Delciancio purchased his third and current ’55 Bel Air from a Sarnia couple in October of 2017 and first displayed it publically during that year’s Leamington Santa Claus Parade. Upon purchasing it, Delciancio was told by the seller that it was a ‘driver’, not a show car. The new Leamington owner declared that he would make a show car of his latest purchase and since then, it has won first place awards in several local car shows. Last year, it was announced that the car was selected to appear in the newest LKQ Corporation 14-month calendar, displayed for the month of December 2018. Delciancio or-

dered 100 copies, which he is offering in exchange for donations to Miss Lizzy’s Foundation, an organization launched by his wife and daughter in support of cancer patients and their families (www.misslizzys.org). “Five dollars or $50, it’s whatever someone can give,” he explained. Delciancio will have copies of the calendar available in exchange for donations during Pasta Dinner evenings at The Roma Club on Thursdays. He is also planning to reintroduce Wednesday evening cruise nights at the Erie Street South parking lot across the street from Burgess’s Restaurant and immediately south of 13 at the Inn, likely starting in late May until early September. The weekly classic and custom car and truck gatherings will take place from 5 p.m. to dusk with no entry fee or registration required. If copies of the calendar are still available by that time, they will be available to purchase in support of Miss Lizzy’s Tea.
The other, she maintains, is making time for herself by scheduling self care time into her calendar — such as time out for a massage. For Gagnon, it was a rather unusual answer — volunteering. Gagnon told the group that volunteering is her way to release and give back to herself. “Find a way to find your wellness,” she said. As far as young women go, Gagnon encouraged them to ask to be heard. “Don’t just sit back,” she said, “get it out there.” Bailey urged young women to step outside of their comfort zone — and be fierce. Calling herself a formerly “spirited child” who spent a lot of time in time-out, Bailey said she is now learning that it is something to be celebrated. Finally, the group discussed the importance of good male role models when raising young boys. For Smyth, it was her husband who gave up his own career to stay home with the children, while Smyth focused on her career. “I feel times are changing,” she said. Following the discussion, the group was entertained by the music of the Karen Women of Leamington.

Memories of... Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley

A century-old dream for Seacliff Park Last week, someone posted an article from the Leamington Post and News from 1920, outlining plans to turn Seacliff Park into one of North America’s best amusement parks. The Zimmerman & Lewis Amusement Company of Windsor had managed to procure a lease of the park in its entirety and had huge plans to develop it into something rivaling Cedar Point and Coney Island. The Company intended to spend about Mark Ribble $60,000 to construct caves in the embankment and erect a dancing pavilion. I’d be curious to know if the pavilion that was there when I was a wee little guy, was the same pavilion that had been planned back then. I don’t remember any caves ever being on the embankment, but I do remember my mother talking about running through trails on the north edge of the park, just over the fence from the old tobogganing hill. She talked of swinging on vines and chasing each other through a jungle-style bush back then and this would have been in the years that followed the above announcement, since she was born in 1925. The plans called for platforms in the water for diving and they had purchased a large boat to offer rides to ‘land-lubbers’ who wanted to experience being out on the lake. Arrangements were being made to purchase Ferris wheels, water chutes, merry-gorounds and other amusements. So, this idea obviously fell through, but I have to wonder if this project got started and if some of the remnants of this idea survived until my childhood, such as the fireman’s pole, the stone fountains, the merry-go-round and the water sprinkler near the central washroom. Seems to me that these could have been created by Zimmerman & Lewis, but maybe the Great Depression put a damper on the rest of the plans they had in mind. It would be nice to know. Unfortunately, anyone involved in the planning back then is long gone, so we may never know. I loved that fire pole. Being a huge Batman fan, I imagined being Bruce Wayne every time I slid down it. And of course, in my dreams, Barbara Gordon dressed in her purple Batgirl outfit, would be right behind me. Robin who? A few years ago, there was talk of developing the waterfront and including a waterslide at Seacliff Park, which would have supplemented the already gorgeous beach we have down there. I think that idea eventually gave way to the amphitheatre, which, in my opinion, is the best outdoor concert venue in this province. So here we are going on 100 years later, and the town’s plans for Seacliff Park have changed but the goal of attracting travelers from all over North America certainly hasn’t. We’re not giving boat rides or cave tours, but we’ve got it covered with music and entertainment, just as Zimmerman and Lewis may have imagined a century ago.

Theft of Memorial Plaque at Southwest Regional Centre
Southpoint Sun - 7
Solopreneurs tell their stories for International Women’s Day By Pat Bailey
C H AT H A M - K E N T - On March 6 it was discovered that the Southwest Regional Centre Memorial Plaque was stolen. The plaque sat overlooking the grounds of the Southwest Regional Centre and was meant to commemorate its history. “Theft and vandalism of any kind is a stain on our community, but when that theft is in regard to a vulnerable segment of the population it is particularly disgusting,” said Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Canniff. “I urge anyone with information on the incident to contact the Chatham-Kent Police or Crime Stoppers.” The mayor said vandalism and theft costs all local residents in terms of higher property taxes and insurance costs. “If the incidents happen to public property, ultimately, the taxpayer foots the bill while private property incidents cost the owner and drive up insurance rates.” The Centre operated from 1961 to 2008. Five years ago, the province reached a settlement regarding what it called “abuse and neglect” of some patients who were placed at the facility due to developmental issues. Anyone with information is asked to contact Constable Pete Bakker at peteb@chatham-kent.ca or 519-436-6600 ext. 81296. Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and may be eligible for a cash reward.
Officer swerves to avoid impaired driver LEAMINGTON – An officer with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Leamington was travelling southbound on Essex County Road 33 in Leamington on March 8, at approximately 1:50 a.m. A northbound black Cadillac veered into the southbound lane and the officer had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid being struck by the Cadillac. The officer stopped the vehicle and the driver exhibited signs of impairment by alcohol. He was issued a roadside screening device demand of which he registered a “fail.” A 21-year-old Leamington man was arrested and charged with Operation While Impaired-Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus). He will appear in a Leamington court on March 21.
Suspicious behaviour in Merlin MERLIN – On Tuesday, March 5 a 49-year-old man attended a bus stop in Merlin and gave three students $50 each. The man then left the bus stop in a vehicle and was subsequently stopped by the Chatham-Kent Police. During the traffic stop, the man began acting erratic and was arrested for his own safety and that of the officer. The man was transported to Chatham-Kent Police Headquarters and assessed by the Chatham-Kent Mobile Crisis Unit. Police also investigated the man’s interaction with the youth at the bus stop. Through investigation it was found that no criminal act was committed by the suspect. The man was found not to be a danger to himself or others by the Mobile Crisis Unit.

Karen Pickle believes she has found the secret to leading a ‘happy’ life — having a purpose. And Saturday morning, she shared her purpose with a group of like-minded women, celebrating ‘solopreneurs’ and International Women’s Day at Pelee Island Winery. At a glance, Karen appears to have it all — beauty, brains and passion. But she also told her audience that while it may seem that she has it all — she shared some of her struggles, like the mere inconvenience of being diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1997. “A week later, the surgeons cut open my skull and removed it — the tumour, not my brain,” she joked. And being the mom of Andrew, the love of her life. Now 27, Andrew was born with Down Syndrome and heart disease. While this may have altered their path slightly, it certainly hasn’t slowed them down. Like every proud mom, Karen said the milestones Andrew has achieved — graduation from high school and college — are among two of his greatest achievements, not to mention several awards for his philanthropy. But it’s the inner beauty of her son that makes her
smile widest. When Andrew announced he wanted to go to college about 12 years ago, he also had a plan for paying for it — a lemonade stand — in November. Not wanting to quell his enthusiasm, Karen gently suggested an alternate plan — the sale of a few t-shirts featuring one of his rock and roll stick figures. And after coming up with the name ‘Group Hug Apparel’, Karen and her partner focused on the business. While originally begun to make a little spending money for her son while in college, Andrew had other ideas — much grander ideas. Following its original success, selling about 300 tshirts off the bat, Karen said it was Andrew’s vision “to help kids.” “But Andrew couldn’t do it alone,” said Karen, “and that’s what moms are for.” Together, the duo has worked shoulder to shoulder growing and expanding the family business. “Now to be fair,” said Karen, “this wasn’t just about helping others — it was also about giving Andrew a chance to build something, as well as opportunities for social connections.” “He loves being the life of the party,” she laughed, “and believe me, Group Hug Apparel is his party.”

But through all the highs and lows, Karen said she managed to discover her purpose in life. It wasn’t through a dramatic epiphany. It came more slowly, after husband Chris asked her a simple question — are you happy? It didn’t take her long to answer in the affirmative. “It was just the slow drip of life,” she said. “The culmination of a long series of events that totals our existence — the ups and downs, the good and the great — the sad and the devastating.” “If we look hard enough and we quiet our brain,” said Karen, “take long, slow breaths. It nudges at us, and for me, it became clear...” She told the group that it was through this process that she discovered her own version of purpose, along with the four valuable lessons she learned along the way. “We can serve ourselves while serving others,” she said. “We must press forward the very best we can through the challenges that life throws at us,” she continued.

And finally, “we need to listen to the subtle and not so subtle messages that our journey reveals.” “I think your purpose will wrap around you like a soft embrace,” she added. “And someone, maybe even yourself, will ask you if you’re happy and you’ll reflexively answer ‘yes’. It will all just feel right — and it won’t be in spite of a tough journey — it will be because of it,” she concluded.

Final phase underway at The Bank Theatre
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Toe-tapping afternoon at the Friendship Club
By Bryan Jessop
By Bonnie Dawson
LEAMINGTON – With any luck, the sound of pounding hammers will be replaced by cheering crowds in less than six months at Leamington’s newest uptown entertainment hub. The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place renovation project at 10 Erie St. South has officially launched its final phase. The last leg of construction in the six-year project will mainly include the installation of spectator seating on both the main floor and mezzanine area and a permanent partition between the lobby and theatre. The refurbishment of the basement level green room is also in the works, and once completed, the lobby will offer a bar, concession area and a separate office. “When we re-open, the whole thing is going to be finished,” noted TBT building committee co-chair John Moran. Seating for the mezzanine area will accommodate 59 guests while the main area will seat another 154 for a combined total of 213. Seats have been ordered from SDR in the United Kingdom and depending on when they arrive, could be installed by mid-late July. Main area seating will be tiered and retractable to make room for
WHEATLEY – The Friendship Club meeting of March 6 began with the singing of O Canada led by Joel Westlake, followed by Happy Birthday sung to Gary Roach, the only member present whose birthday is in March, and then the blessing. Thanks to Donna and Bill Merritt who provided a delicious assortment of homemade cookies and cheese for dessert. The winners of the 50/50 draws were Barb Siddall and Tammy Krawchuk. Mary Hairsine, who is one of the quilters, brought in a quilt which had been at Hillman and was to go to the Heritage Society. Doreen Armstrong, another quilter, gave a brief history of the quilt. It was made in red and white by the Zion Ladies Aid in 1920. At the time it was a fundraiser and people paid to put their names on it, so it was filled with names of local families from that era. The names in the red blocks were in white stitching and the ones on the white blocks were in red stitching. Doreen Armstrong had the names of her dad, uncle and great uncle on it, and the square they were in also mentioned Cripple Creek, Colorado. It was an interesting artifact. Musical guests for the afternoon were Steve Morin & Friends. The friends were Gord Harwood and Joel Westlake. They played an eclectic variety of music ranging from songs related to St. Patrick’s Day to those from the east coast and others. Thanks Steve, Gord and Joel for an entertaining, toe-tapping afternoon. A reminder that Creative Card Making has resumed on Tuesday afternoons at 1 p.m. with Judy Harris as instructor. The next meeting will be on March 20 at 1:30 p.m. It will feature donuts and Bingo. Heather and Bob McKee will be on lunch. The meeting closed with the benediction.
From left to right, Barreneti Construction supervisor Joe Young and project manager Anthony Barraco, The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place building committee co-chair Dennis Dick, president Ursula Tiessen and building committee co-chair John Moran, architect Joe Passa of PA Architects, TBT building committee director Rick Taves and Municipality of Leamington director of infrastructure service Robert Sharon gather for the first TBT building committee meeting of the renovation project’s final phase Tuesday, Feb. 26. The six-year restoration project is targeted for a completion date of late July 2019.
other functions and events when they are not in use. “We’ll be very versatile in what we’ll be able to offer with this venue,” explained Dennis Dick, who co-chairs the building committee along with Moran. Moran and Dick joined the committee shortly after the “Raise the Roof” phase was completed in 2013. The main contractor tendered for the final phase is Barrineti Construction — the same company that installed The Bank Theatre’s washrooms, box office and VIP room. Barrineti staff including supervisor Joe Young and project manager Anthony Barraco are on the building committee, along with TBT president Ursula Tiessen, Moran, Dick, architect Joe Passa of PA Architects, director Rick Taves, Leamington municipal director of infrastructure services Robert Sharon, Chris Pretli of Erie Shores Electrical and municipal councilor John Hammond. The
Celebrating
group plans to meet once per month, but maintains regular, daily contact with one another and others involved in the project through e-mail, calls and texting. While committee members would like to see The Bank Theatre re-open in late July of this year, Moran noted that the date could be as late as September. “It’ll partly depend on what the municipality has planned around town,” he explained. “We want the opening to be a ‘Thursday to Sunday’ weekend event, so we don’t want to conflict with the schedules of other things like Hogs For Hospice, the Mill Street Night Markets or Music on the 42.” Presently, about $1.5 million of the $2.1 million required to fund the restoration project has been acquired through various fundraisers, grants and other projects. Committee members are still in the midst of corporate fundraising while naming rights
are still available for the VIP room and main lobby as well as seat-by-seat naming opportunities at $1,000 each. Organizers are also pursuing grants, two of which have been acquired through the Leamington Business Improvement Association for accessibility to the stage. A Leamington municipal Community Improvement Program (CIP) grant has also been attained to make exterior upgrades. “We’ve had really good support from the municipality,” Dick explained. “We’re really grateful for the support from council and it’s great to see Barenetti earn the contract — it’s important to us to see the work stay local.” For sponsorship or naming rights opportunities, visit the website www.banktheatre. com and select an option under the ‘sponsorship’ bar near the top of the home page.

Flyers advance to Western semifinals By Bryan Jessop
It wasn’t easy, but the Leamington Flyers are moving on to the second round of playoffs in the Western Conference. After dropping Game 1 of the quarterfinals against the Strathroy Rockets, the Flyers bounced back with four straight wins including a series clinching 2-1 overtime victory at Highbury Canco Arena Thursday, March 7. Leamington’s forward lines carried the momentum for much of the first period in Game 5, although neither side dominated. Joshua Diamond steered aside 17 at his end of the rink for Strathroy while Zach Borgiel stopped nine at the Zamboni’s end. The Flyers put themselves on the scoreboard first on their first power play when Dylan Weston took a Kade McKibbon feed and buried an ice level wrist shot from between the hash marks. The second assist went to Thomas Michaud. The lead was short lived, as Cody Clerc wired a slap shot into the top left corner to knot up the score at 1-1 38 seconds later. Leamington again outshot the visitors 17-7, despite getting into penalty trouble. The Flyers had their share of puck possession in the attacking zone for the third period, but struggled to generate scoring chances. Neither team could produce a go ahead goal in the third, which forced overtime for the second time in the series. Both teams had chances to put the game away early into the extra session, but “Three oneboth netminders kept goal games with the game going untwo that go into til just prior to the overtime — that’s 10-minute mark. With a scramble in front of playoff hockey.” the Rockets’ net and — Cam Diamond fallen to the Crowder ice, Michaud swept a loose puck lying in the crease over the goal line to finish the period, game and series. “It was definitely a great feeling,” Michaud said of potting the series clinching goal. “We battled hard and it was good to win the series.” Leamington outshot the guests 55-29 and went one for three on the man advantage while Strathroy was zero for four. “They played the perfect game plan against us,” Flyers head coach Cam Crowder said of the Rockets. “We outshot them, but they kept us to the outside. I give them a lot of credit. For us, we’ve got a lot of young guys with no playoff experience and this was a good experience for them. Three one-goal games with two that go into overtime — that’s playoff hockey.” On Tuesday, March 5, the Flyers made their way back to Strathroy and came home with a 3-1 series lead thanks to a 6-2 win. Matthew Boring scored the only goal of the first period, but Dylan Weston, Colton O’Brien and Michael Andrews padded the lead in the middle frame. TJ Harris and Daniel Aspro cut the lead in half before the second buzzer,
but Weston and Wyatt O’Neil added power play tallies to finish the scoring in the third. The Flyers outshot their hosts 44-19 and were three for six on the power play while the Rockets went zero for three. Borgiel earned the win in goal. Elsewhere in the West, the London Nationals eliminated the St. Thomas Stars in five games while the LaSalle Vipers swept the Sarnia Legionnaires in four straight. In the Chatham/Komoka series, the favoured Maroons were defeated in five games, ending with a 6-1 Kings’ win in Chatham. By advancing, Komoka will face the Flyers in the conference semis while London meets LaSalle. “They’re a hard-working team with skilled players,” Crowder said of the Kings. “This is going to be a tough series.” “They’ve got some good players and they’re well coached,” said Michaud, who once played for Komoka’s head coach Ron Horvat. “We’ll have to play hard, but I think the guys are going to be ready for it.” The conference semifinals between the Kings and Flyers will begin Thursday, March 14 in Leamington and carry on to Komoka for Game 2 Saturday, March 16. The teams will return to Highbury Canco Arena for Game 3 Sunday, May 17 and head back to the Kings’ arena Tuesday, March 18.

Rhine Danube bowling scores
The Southpoint Capitals celebrate their series win Novice Major A advance to OMHA finals! On Friday, March 8 the Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals hosted the St. Thomas Stars in Game 5 of their six-point series. A nice crowd gathered to watch these two teams battle it out for the chance to advance to the OMHA Finals. From the first drop of the puck, you could feel the tension in the rink, as everyone knew that the winner moves on while the loser’s season would be done. The Capitals started the game just as they had finished their previous one; attacking in the offensive zone and fir-

ing shots at the big goaltender at the other end in hopes of scoring the all-important first goal. Each and every scoring chance that the Caps had was denied by the strong goalie in the opposite crease. Midway through the second period, while on the power play, St. Thomas ripped a shot that found its way to the back of the net to take the lead. Southpoint’s game did not change, as it continued to pressure in hopes that the hard work would eventually pay off. As time ticked away off the clock into the third, the Caps and their fans could feel the pressure starting to mount. Then with 7:32 left to play, AJ Youssef grabbed the puck behind the goal line, and after a nifty move around a defender, sent a pass back to the point to Owen Derksen. Derksen fired a hard wrist shot towards the net and it was deflected in as it went through the screening players in front. The game was tied at one. As the home crowd was still buzzing about the tying goal, the players on the ice felt the excitement, as it seemed to go right to their legs. From the ensuing face off, the Capitals got the puck deep and as the Stars players tried to exit the zone Kayde Grossi, Brayden Foster and Tyler Thomas swarmed the half boards to knock the puck away. Thomas found the loose puck and rifled it at the net with it being partially saved but still trickling in across the line short side. Southpoint led 2-1 with 7:07 remaining. The

Stars tried to muster an attack, but the Caps continued to break up plays, dump the puck in deep and forecheck hard, frustrating the opposition. As the final seconds ticked away, Southpoint’s aggressive play did not even allow St. Thomas to pull their goalie as they could not seem to get the puck out and over their blue line. When the final buzzer sounded, the players were able to mob each other in celebration knowing that they had punched their ticket to the OMHA finals. Southpoint will now face the Welland Tigers in the finals. Dates and times to be announced.

1939 Mercury convertible 60 years later In 2010, the Ford Motor Company announced the end of Mercury production as it consolidated its efforts on Ford and Lincoln. Today’s story brings you one of the first Mercurys built – a 1939 convertible. On Saturday, August 11, over 1,300 classic cars and trucks were on display at the annual show in Bothwell, hosted by Old Autos newspaper. The highlight of the show for me was seeing Bill Sherk the restored 1939 Mercury convertible owned by Jim and Carol Lucier from nearby Blenheim. Jim bought this car unrestored many years ago from car collector John Legue, now deceased, who lived near Blenheim. It was light blue and complete but had been off the road for a long time. It now has a sparkling white finish which Jim painted himself. The tan top and interior were installed by a shop in Belle River. This is the car that brought the Ford Motor Company into the medium-price field beginning with the 1939 model year. Before the arrival of the Mercury, a $500 price gap existed between the Ford Deluxe and the Lincoln Zephyr. The new Mercury had a flathead V8 with 239 cubic inches and 95 horsepower, while the ’39 Ford had 221 cubic inches and 85 hp. 1939 Mercury convertible looking brand new again. Also, the Mercury wheelbase at 116 inches was four inches longer than a Ford, and none of the Mercury body panels were interchangeable with Ford. Jim Lucier’s 1939 Mercury convertible could be the same car I saw as a teenager 60 years ago in Shedden, a small town about 40 miles east of Blenheim on Hwy 3. Parked between two buildings on the north side of the main street was a faded light blue 1939 Mercury convertible with the top up and no license plate. We saw it several times as we drove by, but unfortunately never took the time to stop and inquire about it. Then it disappeared. The car that Jim Lucier bought from John Legue was light blue, and John Legue lived only 40 miles from Shedden. I hope to contact some old-timers around Shedden to see if the car we saw 60 years ago is the same car owned today by Jim Lucier. Stay tuned!

8th annual Charity Volleyball Tournament raises $9,500 The 8th annual Charity Volleyball Tournament was an epic event, with a record-breaking 42 teams representing four divisions hitting the hard courts on Saturday, February 23. The Bridge Youth Resource Centre was the recipient of the monies raised and volunteers from the organization were onsite offering assistance. Games were played at four venues: Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary/Middle Schools and UMEI Christian High School. To accommodate the large number of teams, there were eight divisions during the playoff portion: Competitive, Semi-Competitive Level 1-5, Recreational and Corporate. The Competitive Division final was an incredible battle to the end with Advantage + (Erin Murphy, Shawn Reaume, Corey Cole, Vlad Bleoca, Gabriele Bruzzese, Kelly Paolini) playing shorthanded with only five players due to an earlier injury. They defeated the 2018 champs, Rampage Vball, in a nailbiting two out of three game final. The Semi-Competitive Division was divided into five pools during the playoff portion to accommodate the large number of teams this year. The winners were as follows: Group 1 was PHOGH (Dave Rettig, Heather Krestick, John Binder, Shawn Highbury, Cindy Robitaille, Mike Palombo); Group 2 was Sacramento (Alessandra Carlesimo, Rob Lewicki, Ben Sokoli, Ettore Taricani, Steven Kulesza, Ashlyn Dupuis); Group 3 was The Bench Warmers (Nick Ellul, Steph Belanger, Dominique Shymanski, Colin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gorman, Fred Belanger, Austin, Shymanski); Group 4 was Spike Tyson (Tyson Way, Kris Jun, Brittany Colenutt, Nicholas Brousseau, Chanel Bouchard, Marc Lachapelle); and Group 5 was Team Hunter (Matthew Chowtee, Mitchell Hunter, Caleb Workman, Jeslyn Davies, Julie Hunter, Rachel Chowtee). The Recreational Division had a large range of talent and Team Teichroeb (John Heide, Johnny Martens, Nancy Heide, Herman Fehr, Benny Teichroeb, Tina Teichroeb) took the final spot with an undefeated record for the day. The new Corporate Division had teams representing several companies/organizations in the area coming together for this great cause.

Wheatley Ministerial Association donates to Wheatley Food Bank WHEATLEY – The Wheatley Churches’ Area Food Bank serves a vital role in the community by helping meet the needs of some of its local residents. The local food bank is open every Tuesday from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and is located at the Wheatley Baptist Church. The Wheatley Ministerial Association (WMA) is pleased to donate $1,183.15 towards the work of the local food bank. The WMA is represented by pastors and leaders from churches in Wheatley, which presently are Wheatley Baptist Church, Wheatley Evangel Tabernacle and Wheatley United Church. The group has been meeting for the past year to pray and to consider ministry opportunities to bring a sense of togetherness in the Wheatley community. The Wheatley Ministerial Association includes Pastor David and Marlee Page

(Wheatley Baptist Church), Pastor Matt and Nicole Pollett (taking over from retired Pastor Dorman and Cindy Pollett at Wheatley Evangel Tabernacle) and Designated Congregational Minister John and Marlene Cats (Wheatley United Church). Other members are Ken Hatt, Joyce and Richard Walker and Jill and Kim Cooper. The Ministerial Association hosted a Community Christmas Dinner which
brought over 170 people to the Wheatley United Church for a free Christmas dinner and entertainment. The dinner was free, but people still wanted to make a donation, knowing the money would be going to the Wheatley food bank. The Wheatley Ministerial Association will be hosting a Vacation Bible School for children from JK to Grade 5 from July 8-11. More de-
tails will be available later. The Wheatley Ministerial Association is already planning the Christmas community dinner for this year. This will take place on December 15 at the Wheatley Baptist Church. The pastors, leaders and congregation members continue to pray for the Wheatley area and are excited about the future for the Wheatley community.
Classic in the County entertains in Leamington By Lloyd Brown-John
LEAMINGTON – The Windsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) absolutely charmed its audience with an amazing array of Baroque music and the spectacular voice of mezzo-soprano Erin Armstrong-Dickau on Saturday, March 2. The WSO offered Essex County fans another sterling performance at the Leamington United Mennonite Church. The Classics series draws numerous audience members from Leamington, Kingsville, Wheatley, Harrow, Amherstburg and Essex. Supported by the Municipality of Leamington, this concert was part of WSO’s “Classics in the County” series and this time the program was diverse and delightful. WSO’s Maestro Robert Franz utilized the talents of several WSO musicians on violin and cello to serve the enthusiastic audience with works by Corelli, Vivaldi, Respighi and even Handel, Gluck and Wassenaer. The final concert in the 2018-2019 Classics in the County series will be performed on Saturday, April 13 at the Leamington United Mennonite Church. Themed “Farewell Symphony”, it’s a quirky composition by Joseph Hayden. In 1772, after his musicians were forced to work long hours, Haydn wrote his Farewell Symphony to raise awareness to his employer, Prince Esterhazy. Musicians left the stage one-by-one until only two remained. A great moment in labour relations!

Southpoint Sun - 27
Southpoint Minor Peewees and Erie North Shore play at Little Caesars Arena As hockey players and hockey fans, we grow up watching our beloved sport on the television always dreaming of some day making it to the NHL. Living close to the border as we do, our probability is higher than most Canadians of actually attending an NHL game and drinking in that atmosphere (consider those who live on the East coast for example). In February, the Southpoint Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor kids took part in what very well may be one of the coolest experiences they have ever had as hockey players when they took to the ice at Little Caesars Arena for a hockey game against Erie North Shore. The opportunity was presented by Erie North Shore for the kids to join them in partaking in the “In The Wings” program. The kids were able to come down the tunnel to the arena just as the NHL players do, and take the ice for a game. Referees were provided by the arena, and even the Wing’s photographer was there to snap shots of the kids as they played. Words could never describe the joy on the
kids’ faces as they came out onto the ice, and the smiles were very hard to beat. Both team’s logos were prominently displayed on the Jumbo Tron, adding to the realistic feel. For the kids it was exciting to be players, but also remember for the coaches, it was an awesome chance to coach from the benches where so many greats have stood before them. Channeling the likes of Claude Julien and Jeff Blashill, the experience was surreal for all.
The kids received some fantastic swag from LCA and also got to stay and watch the Montreal Canadians take on the Detroit Red Wings, and for some, it was their first NHL game ever, making this experience that much more special. We are thankful to Erie North Shore for inviting our players and coaches (and adults – because let’s face it, the parents were just as enthralled) to share in this experience – it’s one that will be remembered for years to come!
