Youth centre supporters ‘Sleep Out at The Bridge’ By Bryan Jessop
Leamington and surrounding area residents have both assisted a worthy cause and learned about the importance of that support. The first-ever Sleeping Out at The Bridge fundraiser was hosted by The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource Centre through the evening of Friday, April 26 and morning of Saturday, April 27 — a chance for residents to support programming serving youths struggling with homelessness and other social challenges. For the event, about 100 participants spent the night outdoors at The Bridge, equipped with only the clothes on their backs, sheets of cardboard and sleeping bags. The group of donors braved weather conditions that included winds in excess of 30 km/ hr, temperatures as low as 2ºC and rain-soaked ground, giving them a feel of what thousands of homeless youths across the country struggle with on a day-to-day basis. “Something like this really takes people out of their comfort zones,” said The Bridge general manager Krista Rempel. “It’s just a glimpse of what youths have to go through when they experience homelessness.” A sub-committee from The Bridge’s fundraising development team had prepared for Sleeping Out at The Bridge since early February this year, shortly after the facility’s most recent soup luncheon. Interested supporters and participants were invited to sign up for the event through the website www.thebridgeyouth. ca, where 730 donations had been made by 14 registered teams and just over 100 total participants for a day-of sum of about $68,500. With several pledge collections and donations made dur-

The event at Leamington’s youth resource centre on Sherk Street raised more than $68,000 as of that evening and was attended by 14 teams and a sum of just over 100 participants.
ing the 12-hour event, the final fundraising total was tabulated later in the week. Although organizers at The Bridge were unsure at the time if the goal if $100,000 would be reached, they were pleased with the community’s response.
“I feel that the response has been overwhelming for a first annual event. It’s proof of the community’s support for it.” — Krista Rempel
“It’s exciting to see so many people rallying behind it,” said Rempel. “I feel that the response has been overwhelming for a first annual event. It’s proof of the community’s support for it.” Registration for Sleep-
ing Out at The Bridge began at 6 p.m. Friday with a variety of outdoor activities including cup stacking, tugs of war, under-over events with beach balls and other friendly competitions for both teams and individuals beginning at 6:30 p.m. Snacks including pizza followed about 90 minutes later with presentations by Leamington mayor Hilda MacDonald and other guests bringing gatherers indoors briefly at 9 p.m. Awards for top team and individual donors were given during presentations. The inaugural event concluded with a 6 a.m. breakfast offered on site. Participants for the overnight, outdoor gathering were of all ages, although 16- and 17-year-olds required written consent and those 15 and younger had to be accompanied by a legal guardian. Rempel explained that the sub committee or-
Brothers Matthew and Danny Dyck apply duct tape to their cardboard structure during the first annual Sleeping Out at The Bridge fundraiser Friday, April 26. (Southpoint Sun Photos)
ganizing Sleeping Out at The Bridge has committed to making the fundraiser an annual occasion, although organizers are not yet certain what time of year future editions of the fundraiser will take place. The next event in support of programming at The
Bridge will be Lobsterfest, to be hosted by Colasanti’s Tropical Garden Saturday, June 1. The sixth annual Lally Southpoint Ford Summer Sizzlin’ Car Show — Saturday, June 8 at the 414 Rocky Rd. dealership — will also donate proceeds to The Bridge.

Accessible needs project underway in Cottam By Bryan Jessop

Construction of the organization’s first home for youths with exceptional needs will begin later this month and is expected to be completed during the fall. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
“Murhadha House is going to build non-profit, appropriate houses to help alleviate the housing shortage in Essex County one house at a time, but we can’t do it alone,” Murphy continued. The new organization’s president explained that donations will be required in order to fund the first and future homes for the Murchadha House program. Through the website www.murchadhahouse.ca, members of the public can support the initiative through its Buy A Brick campaign. The evening before the groundbreaking ceremony, Murchadha House presented Beatlemania Invades Kingsville at Lakeside Park, a fundraiser Sandy described as a huge success. During the late Saturday morning groundbreaking ceremony, McNamara announced that the charitable golf tournament he hosts each September will be making a $1,000 donation to the local organization.
The one level, four bedroom home will be valued at $550,000 and sit upon a donated lot worth an additional $82,500. Sandy Murphy noted that it is currently difficult to determine precisely how much money will be needed to complete the first house, as the organization is presently seeking donations of materials and labour to offset costs of the project. Construction will begin in May with a projected completion date in the autumn of this year. Once its doors open, the first Murchadha House facility will serve as an assisted living home for youths up to 18 years of age. The four residents to move into the finished home will be determined through arrangements made by Community Living Essex County. “We’re going to build as many houses as we can to help as many people as we can,” Sandy explained.

COTTAM – The dire housing situation for youths with exceptional needs will soon be addressed in Essex County. Murchadha House President Sandy Murphy welcomed a crowd of guests including local political dignitaries to a groundbreaking ceremony in Cottam Saturday, April 27, officially starting the bricks and mortar segment of a project aimed at providing accessible housing for youths with exceptional intellectual challenges. Shovels broke ground at 138 Fox Street in Cottam, a currently empty residential lot that will soon feature a home for four local youths in need of specific, customized accommodations. In addressing a crowd of family, friends, neighbours, supporters and the majority of the five Murchadha House board of directors, Murphy was joined by Essex MP Tracey Ramsey, Essex MPP Taras Natyshak, Windsor West MPP Lisa Gretzky, Essex Count Warden Gary McNamara and Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos. After greetings and commentary from the list of speakers, each took part in the groundbreaking ceremony serving as the official start of construction at 138 Fox Street. “The Board of Directors has been hard at work for months to get to this point,” Murphy said of the registered nonprofit charity. “At Murhadha House, we believe that people with exceptional needs deserve to live as independently as possible within their communities. People with exceptional needs deserve to move out of their parents’ home, but they can’t live on their own.” The idea to instigate the project was inspired by the critical shortage of housing available to residents with intellectual disabilities. As the parents of a 12-year-old son facing multiple challenges, Sandy and Darrin Murphy were faced with unfavourable statistics while planning for a point in Josh’s future where they would no longer be able to care for him themselves. Sandy noted that Parents of Adult Children with Disabilities Windsor-Essex stated in November of last year that the adult waiting list for access to assisted living facilities in the area is roughly 25 years. From there, the Murphys set out to alleviate the need for accessible housing in Windsor and Essex County by having homes built to address the needs of residents with exceptional needs. Their organization became a non-profit group in February of 2018 and achieved charity status in January of this year.

Walk/Run for Autism raises record-breaking $44,000 By Pat Bailey
Like many others in the pizza business, Mike Schlater takes great pleasure in tossing around a little dough. The CEO of Domino’s Canada was on hand Sunday, April 28 at the 7th Annual Walk/ Run for Autism at Seacliff Park, once again showing his generosity, community spirit and support. In addition to providing pizza, brownies and pizza coupons for all 300 participants, Schlater shocked organizers with his pledge to match the $22,000 raised in this year’s effort, bringing the record-breaking total to $44,000. For the well-known local philanthropist, it’s all about the kids. He admitted to having a soft spot for organizations dealing with children, like Sick Kids in Toronto and the Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg. Since moving to the area several years ago, Schlater has thrown his support behind dozens of local charities and fundraisers. Event co-founder Ann Diab was left speechless by Schlater’s generous announcement. “It’s just amazing,” said Diab, after digesting the news. She said they have now raised nearly $130,000 in their seven years hosting the event. For Diab, the walk is personal. With 15-year-old son Christopher diagnosed on the autism spectrum, Diab is relentless in her effort to help those affected by an autism diagnosis. She is joined by childhood friend Paula LaSala-Filangeri. A speech pathologist with the local public school board, LaSala-Filangeri works with autistic children regularly and was also overwhelmed by Schlater’s announcement. Both she and Diab know the importance of programs locally for those diagnosed with autism and take great pride in the fact that the money remains local. The sea of about 300 participants, many sporting blue, was told that last year 96 cents of every dollar raised remained in the local community. According to Barb Masotti, president of Autism Ontario Windsor Essex, one in 66 children in Canada are diagnosed with autism. She said the funds are used for several programs including life skills, after-school programs and summer activities. As participants returned following the 5k run/walk, Schlater was one of those waiting at the finish line, congratulating them and handing out pizza coupons. While many participants showed their gratitude to Schlater for his generosity, Schlater turned the tables, thanking them for taking time out of their busy lives to “walk the walk.” For Diab and LaSala-Filangeri, this year’s event was special and epitomized its tagline of ‘Together as Caring Communities’.

Expect the (un)expected The more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s one of my favourite colloquialisms, since it makes both perfect sense and virtually no sense at all. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I didn’t officially submit my Stanley Cup playoff predictions as a column in the pages of The Sun. That’s for the better, really. I’ve went as well as seven for eight in recent years, but my guesses for 2019 were nothing short of horrendous. In our little Sun office challenge, we had to pick winners for not just the first round, but the conference semis, finals and Stanley Cup championship Bryan Jessop series as well. I’m already well beyond any hope for achieving ultimate bragging rights. All four of the conference finalists I’ve chosen were eliminated in the first round. I went three for eight in the conference quarters — successfully picking San Jose, St. Louis and Boston — but I didn’t pick any of them to win Round 2. It’s sad how easy it is to predict how Canadian teams will perform in the playoffs (well, at least for the few of the “Sorry Seven” that make it that far), even in years like this one when upsets are the norm. Two of my three pool “points” came from predicting Winnipeg and Toronto to choke and to be honest, I can’t believe I was naïve enough to expect anything of Calgary — Western Conference regular season leaders or not. It’s amazing how much the NHL playoffs put the hockey loyalty of Canadian fans to the test. While millions of Americans living in cities that host Cup winning teams are oblivious to what’s going on, we keep tuning in for game nights LONG after our personal favourites have been sent packing. Yet in Bettman’s eyes, we’re the scum of the Earth. Go figure. That makes 26 years (and counting) since a team north of the 49th took top honours. It’s been eight years (and counting) since we’ve produced a conference winner. Sad. Anyway, that’s the “…more they stay the same” part of the Stanley Cup playoffs to which I was referring. As for the actual shockers… for the first time in NHL history, the two regular season conference leaders (Tampa Bay and Calgary) are out. The Bolts were even swept by a team that snagged a wild card spot by the skin of its teeth — the President’s Cup Curse lives on. On top of that, both of last year’s finalists are gone. All four wild card teams are moving on, which means all four division leaders are dusting off the golf clubs. The remaining eight teams have won a combined sum of 14 Cups, including THREE since the turn of the century. Three of the remaining teams have NEVER won a Cup. Two have hoisted Lord Stanley’s Mug once. Colorado’s won two, the Islanders four and the Bruins six. So who do us saps in the Great White North root for now? If geographic proximity means anything to you, it’s the Columbus Bluejackets… who already choked in Game 1 against the Bruins to trail 1-0 as I started writing this column. For me, Columbus is one of the two remaining teams that I’m indifferent towards (St. Louis is the other) — I dislike or outright hate the other six. At this point, I guess I’ll root for the “Overdue Blues.” They were swept as finalists each year from ’68 to ’70 (back when the Original Six made one division and the Expansion Six made the other — a dumb, anti-climactic move on the league’s part) and have accomplished precisely squat in the post season since then. Go Blues… I guess.

Parliament declares Erie Street South courtesy crossing to be removed May 5th LEAMINGTON – Those crossing Erie Street just south of HighDutch Heritage Day South bury Canco’s enclosed eleBy Bryan Jessop
Parliament gave unanimous support to Dave Van Kesteren, Member of Parliament for Chatham-Kent Leamington’s motion M-207 and declared May 5th Dutch Heritage Day. Earlier this year, MP Van Kesteren presented his motion which states: That in the opinion of the house, in recognition of the sacrifices made by Canadians in the liberation of the Netherlands, as well as the contributions made to Canada by those of Dutch heritage, the government should recognize every May 5th as Dutch Heritage Day to honor this unique bond. In his opening speech, Chatham-Kent Leamington MP Dave Van Kesteren Van Kesteren stated, “Canada shares so many things with the Netherlands, but the greatest bond was forged in 1940, when the Royal Dutch family took refuge in Canada, during Second World War, and with the future Queen Juliana giving birth to Princess Margriet in an Ottawa hospital. A room was declared to be extraterritorial and for the first time the Dutch flag flew on the Peace Tower.” The Canadians found themselves fighting for the liberation of the Netherlands, and on May 5, 1945, the Netherlands was made free once again. In appreciation for this tremendous sacrifice, the Dutch began to send tens of thousands of tulip bulbs every year – the Dutch National Flower, followed by the gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs that were given by the Royal family after the war. Each year, Canadians make the pilgrimage to the Netherlands, and the Dutch children along with their parents lay flowers and tend graves of the cemeteries and memorials. Following the Second World War, over 200,000 Dutch immigrants settled across Canada, contributing to our society in all walks of life. Today, over one million Canadians can trace their heritage to the Netherlands. “I hope that celebrating every May 5th as Dutch Heritage Day will have a similar legacy and cherish this friendship and bond for years to come,” stated Van Kesteren.
vated walkway will soon be doing so at their own risk. Director of infrastructure service Robert Sharon and manager of engineering services Allan Botham presented to Leamington Municipal Council a report highlighting three alternative setups to the pedestrian courtesy crossing situated 145 metres south of the Oak Street/Erie Street intersection. After a lengthy discussion process, Council voted in favour of removing the crossing. “That crossing gives people a false sense of security,” explained Councillor Paul Tiessen. “It shouldn’t be in a high traffic area. The safest thing would be to get rid of it — it’s not that far to walk to the corner (of Oak and Erie Streets).” The current courtesy crossing has been the subject of considerable controversy over the past two years, deemed by many members of council a safety hazard for Highbury Canco workers and other individuals using it to cross Erie Street South. What hasn’t been so readily agreed upon is how to change the crossing. Alternative choices presented April 23 included the installation of a controlled pedestrian cross over, a midblock pedestrian signal or the outright discontinuation of the site as a designated foot traffic crossing, the latter of which council voted in favour of one vote shy of unanimously. Some council members admitted that they initially felt a controlled crossing would be ideal, but have since changed their minds. A fourth option —

leaving the crosswalk as is — was highly discouraged by administration and not given any consideration by council. “When that crossing was put in 10 to 12 years ago, we started allowing and showing workers that it was okay to cross there,” Mayor Hilda MacDonald noted. “Traffic in that area has changed since then. I think it’s setting up people to get injured.” Since the courtesy crossing was installed, Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has established design criteria for crosswalks across the province. Afterwards, council was presented with options including bringing vehicle traffic down to one lane in each direction through the crosswalk section while installing on-road bicycle lanes in both directions. At the time — December of 2018 — council decided to arrange two northbound lanes of motor vehicle traffic through the crosswalk, one lane through the pedestrian section for southbound traffic and no bicycle lanes. In late February of this year, council reconsidered its decision, instructing administration to conduct a study
and report back with the feasibility of alternative options for its second April meeting. With a controlled crossing, council could again have chosen between one lane of motor vehicle traffic in each direction with bicycle lanes or two northbound lanes, one southbound lane and no bicycle lanes through the pedestrian cross area. The controlled crossing area would have featured a button at each end of the crossover for pedestrians to push, activating signals instructing drivers to stop while walkers are crossing the street. With three lanes of motor vehicle traffic and no bike lanes, pavement markings, signage and minor construction would have pegged the three-lane controlled crossing option at a cost of $80,000. The cost for two motor vehicle traffic lanes and two bike lanes through the crosswalk would have been an estimated $74,000. A mid-block pedestrian signal — revealed to council as “Option 2” — would’ve maintained four lanes of motor vehicle traffic through the crosswalk while the signal lights instructing
drivers to stop would be coordinated in sync with the Oak/Erie intersection lights. Administration’s report indicated that Option 2 could create delays and frustration for drivers and walkers alike, causing some pedestrians to cross before the signal light is triggered — a tactic that could have forced drivers to stop at the crossing with no foot traffic in the area. At a price of $174,000, the mid-block signal was the costliest option. Option 3 will have the courtesy crossing decommissioned and include the removal of existing signage, pavement markings and ramps. New signage will be erected at the site instructing pedestrians to use the Oak/Erie intersection as a means of crossing the street. New concrete curbs, topsoil to restore the boulevard and the restoration of the sawcut asphalt area will bring Option 3’s price tag to about $10,000. Sharon explained that the courtesy crossing will remain in place for about another month, giving Highbury Canco time to notify its employees that it will be removed.

Soli Deo Gloria Singers spring concert
WHEATLEY – The first day of May – or May Day in some parts of the world – is known for maypoles, flowers and the welcoming of spring. The origin of May Day as a celebration/festival dates back thousands of years. At Wheatley United Church, the 1st of May means plans have been underway for the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, traditionally held on the Friday before Mother’s Day. This banquet brings women from Wheatley and the surrounding area together to celebrate women. Along with their fellow sisters (daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and female friends), they sit down together, share a meal, visit, tell stories, laugh and are entertained. This is thanks in part to a group of good-natured men who come to help serve the food and clean up. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, time is running out! Call Merle (519-825-7943) or Frances (519-825-7587) for ticket information. Volunteer sign-up sheets for the Mother-Daughter Banquet are posted by the church kitchen. If the kitchen is where you enjoy volunteering, then don’t miss the opportunity to help out at the Wheatley Area VBS (Vacation Bible School) July 8-11. For further information contact John at 519-733-6832 or 519-988-6343.
LEAMINGTON – The Soli Deo Gloria Singers, under the direction of Nancy Dyck, are busy rehearsing for its upcoming spring concert entitled “A Time For Everything Under Heaven.” This spring 2019, the choir’s journey through song will encompass “A Time For Everything Under Heaven,” reflecting on a time to laugh, a time to speak, a time to tear down, and a time to build, a time to mourn, a time to heal and a time for peace. A time to speak loud and clear is captured in Moses Hogan’s dynamic spiritual where the choir sings joyfully, “I Can Tell the World!” It does our soul well to make time for laughter. Sit back and enjoy the contemporary “Afro-Celtic Diddle” and the classic early 20th century “Catastrophe.” Current day Mennonite composer Larry Nickel masterfully weaves together a medley of classic songs reflecting on a difficult time in Russian history that brought much despair. Ancestors’ prayers remained strong as they sang classic heart songs like “Create in Me a Clean Heart of God.” With God by their side, an era of freedom and rebuilding in a new homeland took place and your heart will be touched by “Melodies of Molotschna.” Soli Deo Gloria Singers will also offer two melodies composed by choir comrade Henry Boon with lyrics by his wife Susan Boon. The performance takes place Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. at UMEI Christian High School, 614 Mersea Rd. 6 just west of Hwy 77, and on Sunday, May 5 at 3 p.m. at Leamington United Mennonite Church, 78 Oak St. E. Tickets available at the door or in advance at Kindred Credit Union or from choir members. Call UMEI at 519326-7448 for more information.

Emergency Preparedness Week coming to Leamington By Bryan Jessop
Like the Cub Scouts, organizations in Leamington and across Essex Count are encouraging residents to ‘be prepared’. The annual Emergency Preparedness Week will be recognized locally with an open house event at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex on Sherk Street Tuesday, May 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The series of information displays is being presented by the Salvation Army, Red Cross, County of Essex, Leamington Fire Services and Sun Parlour Amateur Radio Club (SPARC). Other organizations may also be present with display booths during the eight-hour event. Emergency Preparedness Week is a yearly Canadawide campaign aimed at helping citizens become ready for a variety of crisis situations including flooding, earthquakes, extreme heat conditions, nuclear incidents, winter storms, tor-
nadoes, disease outbreaks, forest fires and droughts. “We just want people to be prepared for situations where they’d have to evacuate,” explained Community Emergency Management Coordinator for the Municipality of Leamington Mike Ciacelli.
“We just want people to be prepared for situations where they’d have to evacuate.” — Mike Ciacelli
“If a person comes to the door and informs you that an evacuation is necessary, you should be prepared to grab a kit with everything the family needs for at least three days.” As part of the open house, visitors will be able to have questions answered

on various types of emergency preparedness, including flooding and other natural disaster situations. There will also be information available on how to create a “72 Hour Kit,” and the necessary items to fill them including a radio, batteries, flashlights, non-perishable food items such as granola bars, enough water to provide each of the home’s residents with two litres of water per day, cash, medications and if necessary, pet food. Each year, the nationwide EP Week is coordinated by Public Safety Canada in collaboration with all provinces and territories and other partners. In Ontario, more information on the theme “Are You Ready?” is available at www.emergencymanagementontario.ca, where users can also check to see if their cell phones are compatible to receive emergency alerts through e-mail, texts and social media. As part of EP Week, SPARC has been working on setting up an Emergency Operations Centre for the County of Essex at a room being offered by Sun Parlour Homes on Talbot Street East in Leamington. Ciacelli, also a deputy chief with Leamington Fire Service, explained that certain emergency situations could knock out services provided by cell phone towers, which would make radio communications crucial. From its room near the front of the SPH building, SPARC has already been able to establish radio contact with distant locations including Puerto Rico.

The Coatsworth and Talbot Street area recently lost a longtime friend, Grant Geddes. Grant was 96 and had been the owner and operator of the Jas. Geddes Grain Elevator in Coatsworth for many years. Our condolences are sent to his family, Kevin and Cathy Geddes of Coatsworth and their family, and Karen and Nigel Lloyd of Ottawa and their family.

Cougar Robotics captain 6th alliance at provincials, narrowly miss world championships falling just a few points shy from qualifying for the World Championship in Detroit. The team’s play in their qualification matches was very strong, and they fought very hard to earn ninth place out of the 40 teams in their division. They moved up to captain the sixth alliance and took their team to a very tough quarterfinals matchup. After winning the first quarterfinals match, they fell just short in the second game of the double knockout and then lost the tiebreaker match to be eliminated. The team is very proud of their success this season, as it was a season of many firsts. Winning their first award, making it to semifinals for the first time
By Jacob Taylor
LEAMINGTON – From April 10 to 13, Cougar Robotics from Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School in Leamington rigorously competed against the top robotics teams in Ontario at the FIRST Ontario Provincial Championship, where they finished ninth after qualification rounds and captained the sixthseeded alliance to a quarterfinal exit. This performance, along with their great success at the Windsor Essex Great Lakes district event and the Georgian College district event, where they made it to the semifinals, gave the team the best season they have ever had,
(and then again for a second time), and ranking high enough to qualify for provincial championships (Cougar Robotics ranked 40th out of 178 teams in Ontario – top 80 teams go to provincials). None of this would have been made possible without the generosity of all of the sponsors and mentors in the community. Despite not making it to the highest level of competition this year, the team is extremely proud of their performance and the experiences they have had together. They will tackle next year’s game and competition with the same dedication that they did this year, and long for another chance to show teams across the province and the world what they are made of.
Cougar Robotics had an impressive year, winning their first award and ranking high enough to qualify for provincials. Team members are, left side, back to front: Jacob Taylor, Keagan Chambers, Evan Brown, Connor Sunderland, Laura Prior, Josh Tomanelli, Hannah Iacobelli, Spencer Rodrigues, Miranda Caron, Bianca Moauro, Katie Franco. Right side, back to front: Brad Chambers, Luke DeGoey, Joe Bedard, Richard Iacobelli, Joe Tomanelli, Christine Hayes, Charmaine Gaoiran, Aiden Woodiwiss. (Submitted Photo)

Shorebirds flock to Hillman Marsh in May LEAMINGTON – Bird enthusiasts from around the world make Leamington one of their bucket list destinations each May and Hillman Marsh is ready to greet these guests from May 1-19 at the Shorebird Celebration. Experts from Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) will be at the Shorebird Viewing Shelter from 3-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays to help visitors identify the stunning shorebirds. There are also bird identification signs at the shelter highlight- Hillman Marsh provides excellent ing distinguishing habitat for shorebirds like the Marbled Godwit. (Photo: Jean Iron) characteristics. The shorebird habitat at Hillman Marsh is unique in North America. The managed habitat creates the perfect combination of mudflats to provide nutrition and a resting area for migrating shorebirds. “Hillman Marsh is a fabulous place, especially in spring, to see numerous waterbirds and shorebirds feeding regularly prior to their migration north,” said Dave Milsom of OFO. The marsh is managed annually to produce the desired habitat: water levels are reduced so mud flats appear in preparation for shorebird arrival. “The birds are often very close to the shoreline, which makes for exceptional viewing. A large bird blind is open for visitors to photograph and study the birds,” said Milson. Entrance fees apply or special spring birding passes are available. Hillman Marsh is located at 1826 Mersea Rd. 2, Leamington.
Rising water on creek provides rare boating opportunity WHEATLEY – The recent rising water levels provided a rare boating opportunity for Tyler Lamb, Ian Faubert and Mitchell Prudence, all of Wheatley. The trio was able to launch a boat in the creek behind the Prudence property on Gregory Line in Wheatley and travel all the way to the bridge on Klondyke Road and back a couple of times. It was a fun four-hour tour for the group. The creek is normally fairly shallow and would be impassable by boat between these two points. (Submitted Photo)
Norm Chesterfield Birding Day May 15 WHEATLEY – Twenty-five years ago, in May 1994, the first birding walk took place at Wheatley Provincial Park honouring Norm Chesterfield, “The Bird Man of Wheatley,” for his accomplishments in the birding world. Mr. Chesterfield was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1983-1990 for the most sightings. His lifetime sightings were: World 6,617, Canada 520, Ontario 407. The councils of Mersea Township, Romney Township and the Village of Wheatley honoured Mr. Chesterfield with a proclamation stating the third week in May as Norm Chesterfield Week. Since that time, the Norm Chesterfield Birding Walk has taken place at Wheatley Provincial Park. This year, on Wednesday, May 15, the walk will be led by Paul Pratt and members of the Chesterfield family. Mr. Pratt is retired as head naturalist at the Ojibway Nature Centre. He has led birding tours throughout North America, Australia and Africa. Participants will gather at the Wheatley Provincial Park gates between 7:00 to 7:30 a.m. The tour begins at 7:30. Whether you are a seasoned birder or a beginner, all are welcome.

Sun County Lyme Awareness: May is Lyme Awareness Month By Sheila McBrayne
The Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group met at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens on Wednesday, April 24 for its monthly meeting. In honour of May being Lyme Awareness Month, Chatham-Kent Leamington Member of Parliament Rick Nicholls and his executive assistant Sue Adamson were special guests. Cheryl Abbate, Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group member, credits Nicholls’ office as being instrumental in the formation of the local group, recognizing the need for better diagnostics for the misunderstood Lyme disease. “Rick has been a strong supporter of correcting the mysteries surrounding this disease and bringing needed, timely diagnostics and treatment to all Ontarians,� stated Abbate. Nicholls and Adamson listened to the difficulties faced by those infected
with Lyme who cannot access accurate diagnosis or treatment locally. According to Abbate, many venture outside of Canada for diagnosis and treatment, paying thousands of dollars in out of pocket expenses. Many travel to Germany, Florida or Mexico in an attempt to restore their health. Caesars Windsor has permitted their venue to be used to promote awareness for Lyme Awareness. The 4th annual Lyme Lighting event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st. Members from Sun County Lyme plan to gather by the waterfall on the Riverside Drive side of Caesars Windsor for the lighting to be turned to green. Lime green is the colour that represents Lyme disease. The Sun County Lyme Awareness Support Group meets at Colasanti's on the last Wednesday of each month in the Cactus Room.

Southern Footprints draws large crowd By Bryan Jessop
Several runners and walkers called the bluff of miserable weather to generate another impressive turnout for Southern Footprints. The 12th annual installment of the community walk and run attracted 345 entries for events ranging from the Kids 1km Dash to the 5 km walk and 5, 10 and 15 km runs. The southern reaches of Point Pelee National Park again served as the backdrop for the route that started at the Visitors Centre and voyaged to the tip and back. Weather conditions, which brought temperatures to as low as 3ºC before wind chill, kept parts of the tip off limits to force a single-lap distance of about 4.9 km. The three available distances brought runners from across Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent as well as some from as far northeast as St. Thomas, London and Forest. About 30 entries waited until the day of the event to register. “For this time of year, the turnout was great,” said Southern Footprints race director David Campbell. “We’re happy with the response — it’s been excellent.” Each year, Campbell — along with event coordinator Denise Gaffan and media coordinator Jenn Johns — presents Southern Footprints as a fundraiser for local causes and organizations. This year’s proceeds are again being split between Crime Stoppers of Windsor-Essex and the Essex Rotary International. Last year, Crime Stoppers received $2,500 in proceeds while the local Rotary Club received a $600 contribution and another $600 in donations in exchange for barbecued hot dogs. Campbell explained that fundraising totals from this year’s Southern Footprints will likely be tabulated over the next few weeks as expenses continue to come in, but noted that he’d like to see last year’s totals surpassed. A cheque may be presented to Crime Stoppers during the second of three races in the Speedprint Race Series — the South Shore Spring Sprint Saturday, May 25 at Point Pelee National Park. The 2019 edition of the Speedprint series again kicked off with Southern Footprints and will continue with the Spring Sprint before concluding Sunday, June 9 with the Leamington Multisport Weekend. All entries who participate in all three
The annual Southern Footprints held at Point Pelee National Park kicked off with the Mascot Race Sunday, April 28. Bomber, the Windsor Spitfires’ mascot, was dethroned by Snoil — the Leamington District Secondary School mascot — by inches. The sprint was followed by the Kids’ 1 km Dash and then the simultaneous start for the 5 km run, 10 km run, 15 km run, 5 km walk and media and first responders 4 x 5 km relays.

races — including the June event’s 5 km run — will receive a set of Bluetooth wireless ear buds courtesy of Speedprint. Some Southern Footprint runners were kept at bay this year by the chance of inclement weather that included the threat of snow, rain and heavy winds, bringing the participant rate just shy of last year’s 360. New editions included 4 x 5 km media and first responders challenges as well as the replacement of the 20 km race with the shorter 15 km option. Campbell explained that the latter adjustment was well received, as the 60-plus entries in the 15 km event was more than any turnout for previous 20 km races. Also new this year, each of the main races was backed by its own sponsor — The Southpoint Sun for the Mascot Race, Pure Flavour for the 5 km walk and run, Security One for the 10 km run and Leamington Chrysler for the new 15

Baltiero wins gold By Bryan Jessop
Kingsville boxer Tiago Baltiero is once again leaving an impact — literally and figuratively — on opposition from both sides of the border. Having turned 17 only about a week prior to this year’s Boxing Canada Super Channel Championships in Victoria, B.C., Baltiero was barely old enough to compete in the Youth division of the nationwide competition for the 17- and 18-year-old category’s 81 kg (178 lbs., ‘light heavyweight’) class. Despite his relative inexperience of only about 15 fights to his name, Baltiero captured the gold medal by defeating Isaiah Haya. The New Brunswick fighter was the same opponent Baltiero lost to in the gold/silver medal bout of the most recent Canada Winter Games, held in Red Deer, Alb. In the Baltiero-Haya rematch, the Kingsville fighter won in a judges’ decision of 3-0. He advanced to the Friday, April 26 final by winning his preliminary match two days earlier against British Columbia’s Brayden Markin-Hellekson, also in a unanimous 3-0 decision. Baltiero attended this year’s nationals with his father Gil, who was also a successful boxer under the guidance of Kingsville-based coach Doug Patterson. Patterson was unavailable to attend the tournament, but watched Tiago’s fights through YouTube livestreaming and was able to offer coaching advice online and through between-
Kingsville’s Tiago Baltiero is declared winner of his first of two fights in the Canadian National Boxing Championships’ Youth Division in Victoria, B.C. Wednesday, April 24. Baltiero defeated Martin Hellekson of British Columbia in a unanimous 3-0 decision to set up a championship gold medal bout against Isaiah Haya of New Brunswick — the same fighter who defeated Baltiero in the gold/silver medal fight from the recent Canadian Winter Games. Baltiero won the final fight on Friday, April 26 in a 3-0 decision. (Submitted Photo)
fight phone calls. “He fought against a hell of a good fighter,” Patterson said of Baltiero’s match against Markin-Hellekson.
“He’s been stopping some of the best fighters out there.” — Doug Patterson
“He was taller (than Baltiero), but Tiago took it to him. The body shots made the difference. He’s really stubborn because he always wants to win.” During the week of his 17th birthday, Baltiero spent three days at a boxing training camp in Toronto with Team Ontario to prepare for the Boxing Canada championships. During the week prior to the camp, Tiago crossed the border to Detroit
for a fight against hometown Ryan Reed. Patterson explained that the Kingsville fighter “simply outclassed” his opponent, winning by technical knockout as Reed did not emerge from his corner for the third round. “He’s only lost to the very best,” Patterson said of Baltiero. “He’s been stopping some of the best fighters out there.” Tiago’s busy schedule will continue with a Saturday, May 4 fight in Amherstburg, where Patterson’s other fighter — Tyler St. JohnWorth of Tilbury — is also

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Your emotions can be overwhelming, Aries. This encourages you to share your softer side with others. Embrace this sense of openness and others will reciprocate. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Make the most of others’ cooperative spirits to get things done, Taurus. It is always good to advocate for yourself, but more effective when others are receptive.
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Focusing too much on one thing is not healthy, Gemini. It is better to diversify your thinking and surround yourself with as many ideas and perspectives as possible.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Lately you have been a rock that others lean on, Libra. This is a good role for you, as you are compassionate but also fair. Just make sure you take care of yourself as well. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you have everything figured out, a new challenge presents itself. Seek a second opinion to work it out if this nut proves tough to crack. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A new idea could spark a big change in your life, Sagittarius. Are you ready for the adventure that is going to ensue? Look to others to join in the good times.

As the Sun Parlour Curling Club’s season drew to a close, many playoffs were held to determine league winners and allow for bragging rights — a legitimate reaction from teams who played so diligently all curling season. The competitions were fierce and the after-celebrations were jubilant. The Monday Night Ladies Competitive League winner was the Moncur team comprised of skip Cathy Moncur, lead Bev Chortos, second Sue Markham and vice Gloria Adamson. The Wednesday Night Ladies Recreational League winning team was the Waites-Stevenson team, with skip Dana Waites, lead Carolyn Reid, vice Sue Markham and skip Sharon Stevenson. The Thursday Night Men’s Competitive League champion was the Adamson team of second Tim Stevenson, vice Paul Keller, skip Ross Adamson and lead Gary Koestler. Meanwhile, in the Sturling League the winners battled it out too. Congratulations to the division winners who won both of their playoff games in the last two weeks of the season: A Division - Lionel Aasen and Jim Sudds; B Division - Diane Parkinson and Debbie Dunmore; C Division - Bob and Sharon Bee; and D Division - Gayle Hyatt and Ruth Slote. At the end of the year, SPCC organizes the popular Swing and Sweep. There were limited spots which filled almost immediately. On April 6, the participants golfed eight holes and curled eight ends. One can never be certain of the weather on the golf course and some years the circumstances were interesting, going from summer to winter in the span of one game. This year the weather cooperated and the winners were the DrummondStevenson team. The curling season starts again in October and this coming year is particularly monumental as it is SPCC’s 60th anniversary. New players are welcome to become involved in this active and extremely friendly club. It is affordable and there are many curlers available who offer instruction and helpful pointers. For more information, visit the Sun Parlour Curling Club Facebook page.
