LEAMINGTON – The 171st Leamington Fair is one month away and organizers with the Leamington and District Agricultural Society have had to make some quick decisions to keep the fair alive. After hearing some rumours and speculation, last week Ag Society president Tammy Wiper received official notice that Carter Shows Ltd. would not be able to provide the midway for this year’s fair June 14-16. “I was in the middle of Superstore getting groceries when I received the call. I just cried. I could hardly breathe and just cried. Thank goodness Bill Dunn helped me catch my breath. I just couldn’t believe it,” said Wiper. The 2019 season was the last year of a fouryear contract with the amusement company. Wiper explained that the new owners of Carter Shows left her with no midway, no games or vendors one month before the weekend that local volunteers work all year to prepare for. It only took a couple of days for Wiper to come up with a Plan B. After a few inquiries, she was able to secure Family Time Amusements from Wallaceburg to provide rides, games and vendors. “It will be smaller, but they are lovely people. It’s a family-run operation that’s relatively new,” said Wiper. “Apparently, they’ve actually bought some of their rides. We’re going to have a couple of big bouncy castles for the kids available free or by donation.” The Fair Board has also decided to discount this year’s entry from $7 to $5. “We’re willing to lose a little money to keep the fair alive,” she said. At 171 years, Leamington’s Fair is believed to be the fourth oldest fair in Canada. “That’s what I was told, anyways,” said Wiper. “It’s definitely one of the old ones and we want to keep it going,” she added. This year’s fair begins Friday, June 14 with Classic Championship Wrestling with Bushwhacker Luke taking centre stage, as well as the school and home craft exhibits and the midway. Saturday features Hottest Tomato Contest, ventriloquist Yvette Locke, circus performers from Windsor Circus School (Saturday and Sunday) and a Demolition Derby with increased prize awards. Sunday features all the daily fair activities as well as tractor pulls – the big boys and antique pullers. Carter Shows had supplied the rides and games at Leamington and many other fairs across Ontario for decades. The business was sold in 2014 to new owners. “I really feel bad for Jerry O’Neill. He ran Carter Shows for decades and put his heart and soul into it. Felt bad for them when he said it’s the first year not flying the Carter Shows banner,” said Wiper. “The show must go on, as they say, and we’ll do the best we can; just push forward and do the best we can,” said Wiper.

Unstoppable Run raises $6,000
By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – The third time was indeed the charm for Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School’s biggest annual fundraiser. The 2019 Unstoppable Run concluded by generating about $6,000 in proceeds, besting both the inaugural 2017 edition as well as last year’s. The event, which CCCMS staff describe as at least
as much an opportunity for camaraderie as a school fundraiser, involved about 400 participants. Those included CCCMS students, Grade 6 guests from feeder schools Holy Names (Essex) St. Jean de Brebeuf (Kingsville) and St. Louis (Leamington) and the middle school’s staff and Parent Council volunteers. “The community has been very, very generous again,” explained CCCMS Parent Council chairperson Joanna
Zeiter, who again took on a lead role in the organization of the Unstoppable Run. “Everybody just stood up and got involved. So many people gave up their time and put everyone else before themselves, which is truly amazing,” added CCCMS vice principal Ruth Paesano. Parent Council began preparing for the event a (Continued on Page 2)

Celebrating Police Week Essex County OPP Cosntable J.J. Lyman of the Marine Unit talks to visitors during the promotion of Police Week Friday, May 10. Representatives of the Essex County OPP’s Marine Unit, K9 Unit, Emergency Response Team, Community Service department and auxiliary members attended the annual event on the parking lot of Leamington’s Canadian Tire to promote the week of May 12 to 18 as National Police Week. Leamington Canadian Tire owner Bill Waechter offered parking lot space, the use of the barbecue and free bottled water for the event, last held in Leamington in 2017. Leamington was again chosen as a Police Week exhibit location, as the Essex County OPP focuses on the south end of the county each year. The following Saturday, another OPP display was set up at Sobey’s in Lakeshore. Crime Stoppers also had a booth set up at the gathering, where visitors were given the chance to chat leisurely with police personnel and learn about policing issues ranging from impaired driving to the abuse of illicit drugs. The 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. set of displays averages an estimated 100 visits from residents of all ages. Police Week has been recognized in Canada since 1970 and in Leamington, included local OPP participation for the third year. (SouthpointSun Photo)

Leamington Horticultural Society plant sale Leamington Horticultural Society member Leslie Morin hands over a purchase to a customer of the annual LHS Plant Sale at Leamington United Church on John Street Saturday, May 11. An estimated 300 to 400 customers made their way through the church basement gymnasium in search of deals from a wide assortment of plants and flowers. A committee of six society members led by Erna Wright accepted plant donations throughout the community to provide the sale’s inventory. The sale was run by volunteer LHS members, who opened the doors at 9 a.m. to welcome a lineup of visitors that started at the church’s side door and proceeded to the street. The society currently has 55 members — plus another three who purchased one-year memberships during the sale — and will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2020. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Unstoppable Run raises $6,000 (Continued from Front) few weeks in advance, garnering a lengthy list of local
sponsors and supporters that included Domino’s Pizza, Mucci Farms, Tim Hor-
tons, McDonald’s, DJ PJ, Abraham Orthodontics and others who provided food, refreshments, music and student prizes. The bulk of proceeds was raised through Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School students pledge collections from their respective families and friends. This year’s top individual collector was Grade 7 student Logan Quiring, who set an event record by chipping in with $800 in donations. “It didn’t really take very long — about five days,” Quiring explained. “I just texted everyone I know on my mom’s phone and got money from whoever replied.” The former individual funding collection record was between $500 and $600. Each year, Unstoppable Run proceeds go towards the costs involved with student events, academics, programs, clubs, equipment and other resources. “It wouldn’t have been possible without Parent Council,” Paesano explained. “They truly put the needs of students above their own.”

LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington is making sandbags and sand available for free to Leamington residents who want to take precaution against potential overland flooding. Residents can go to the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex (LKRC) and show proof of Leamington residency (mail or billing information showing Leamington address also accepted) to obtain sandbags. LKRC hours of operation are: Monday to Friday 6 a.m.9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday 9 a.m.5 p.m. Residents are limited to 100 sandbags per visit, but can return to obtain additional sandbags if needed. A sandbag filling station and free sand is accessible at 435 Bevel Line Road (Bayview Dog Park). Sandbags are selfserve, and residents must bring their own shovels to fill the bags. The sandbag station will remain in place indefinitely. High water levels have put communities across Ontario in flood emergencies this spring, and while Leamington is not in an emergency state as of yet, flooding is expected to worsen as water levels continue to rise.

LEAMINGTON – For the third time, a gathering of newcomers have been welcomed as the newest Canadian citizens at Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School. The local Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board facility’s auditorium served as the backdrop for a Canadian citizenship ceremony thanks to arrangements made by Cardinal Carter teacher Marco Antonuzzo, fellow staff members and a team of student volunteers. This year, 45 immigrants from 20 different countries including Egypt, China, Mexico, Burma, India, Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Syria, the United States, Nigeria, Jamaica, Thailand and other nations took part in the swearing in ceremony hosted by the local school. “It’s our pleasure,” Antonuzzio said. “We’re a very cultured community to begin with, so it really hits home for everyone. It’s a beautiful event to be here for all these folks.” Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) clerk Suzanne Daudlin and Cardinal Carter Secondary School vice principal Ryan Coristine welcomed a crowd of guests including students, new citizens and their families to the ceremony, presided by CIC manager Rob
Bruce. The event’s platform party included Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Deputy-Mayor Larry Verbeke and Councillor John Hammond, as well as Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos, Deputy-Mayor Gord Queen, Councillor Thomas Neufeld and Councillor Laura Lucier. Others included Coristine, Cardinal Carter Middle School vice principal Ruth Paesano, CCCSS Campus Minister Judy Butera and Cardinal Carter Secondary and Middle School Student Council Prime Ministers Sydney Youssef and Mila Perreira, respectively. In 2017 and 2018, 40 and 30 immigrants participated in the Cardinal Carter swearing in ceremony, respectively, making this year’s event the largest of its kind thus far. “We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to host today’s Canadian Citizenship Ceremony,” said Coristine. “It is a true honour to be part of such an important moment in the lives of so many.” This year’s event was held Tuesday, May 7, coinciding with the month’s status as Canada’s Asian Heritage Month. A handful of this year’s successful citizenship candidates hailed from Asian nations including China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Myanmar (formerly Burma). “There’s quite a number
of us who are either children or grandchildren of immigrants,” noted MacDonald in addressing the group of new Canadians. “We know how you feel, we know the excitement. We’re happy for you and we’re happy for us.” “We’re so fortunate in this country to be able to bring so many people together and celebrate,” added Santos. Some of the group’s ceremony participants have been residing in the Leamington area for the past several weeks and months. Two of the 45 new citizens had particularly short trips to the Cardinal Carter auditorium, as Catherine KennethOgah is a Grade 10 student at CCCSS and her younger sister Alexandra KennethOgah is a Grade 7 student at adjoining Cardinal Carter Middle School. Their parents Caroline KennethOgah and Dr. Kenneth Ogah — chief of obstetrics at Erie Shores HealthCare — also participated in the ceremony. “We’ve absolutely been looking forward to this,” said Caroline, who noted that the family first arrived in Canada through Calgary after immigrating from British Nigeria. “I felt so emotional during the ceremony. I never thought this day would come. I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life here.”

Green versus Green If there’s any Christmas present that truly keeps on giving the whole year round, it’s a calendar. Specifically, I’m referring to the little 365-page desk calendar that I was given for 2019. It’s one that presents an interesting little smidgen of trivia for each day of the year. Most are interesting, with some little tidbits that I’ve already heard. For example, giraffes have blue tongues. Not to brag, but I already knew that. What I did NOT know (amongst several other things) was that if you spill a single drop of liquor onto a scorpion, it will literally and instantly go insane and sting itself to death. I can just imagine how Bryan Jessop many 10-year-old boys in Arizona who, when bored, have to decide whether to venture outside with a magnifying glass in search of ants OR a 40 ouncer of the old man’s Jack Daniels on the look out for the far more menacing aforementioned arachnids. Some people might wonder what exactly is the scorpion’s problem. How could the inspiration behind so many tattoos, Indiana Jones movie scenes and heavy metal album graphics and videos be so vulnerable to one tiny little drop of booze? Truth be told, humankind isn’t so different, at least not on a symbolic level. Many of us are convinced, that for the sake of large-scale financial profit, we’re slowly killing off the entire planet. Therein lies the symbolism I was referring to — the drop of alcohol is financial gain, the scorpion itself is us/the planet and the venom inside that menacing tail is pollution. I’ll be blunt and honest — I’m quite the fence sitter on this one. Algae blooms overtaking our lakes and massive piles of plastic garbage floating around in our oceans do not bode well with me. The situation with the ozone layer is also a concern. On the other hand, I have a hard time swallowing the Kool Aid that says countries like ours are obligated to commit economic harakiri (disemboweling one’s self with a sword) via carbon taxes, cap and trade and other debilitating acts of questionable effectiveness. It seems that Justin Trudeau expects me to allow my family to freeze to death in the winter and quit my job so that I don’t have to drive around as much and burn up so many fossil fuels. Behind our PM’s rose-coloured glasses, I’m sure we all live in a world where the workplace is a five-minute walk away. Alas, here in the real world, the puzzle pieces of life don’t always fall so neatly into place. Sure, if we all just trashed our petrol-chugging vehicles and bought brand spanking new hybrids, we’d save the world… or so we’re led to believe. Problem is, that’s not economically feasible for most of us. Secondly, a massive portion of the electricity that these cutting-edge vehicles run on (nearly two thirds of it) is produced by — you’ve got it — carbonbased fuels such as gas, oil and coal. In bottom line terms, I wouldn’t be surprised if electric vehicles are less environmentally hazardous than their gasoline and diesel counterparts, but I’m skeptical about weather or not they’re worth the difference they’re making. For as long as I live, I’m sure I’ll never hear the end of the argument between climate change deniers and doomsayers. Truth be told, it can’t hurt to take planet-saving measures whether the situations is as bad as some say or not. Those measures, however, have to be financially sustainable. If we find a means of reducing greenhouse gases (for example) without draining our wallets and bank accounts, that strategy will be a lot more palatable to a lot more people. Slapping a carbon tax on the people of a country who are already being drained by countless other taxes won’t likely help. I have yet to hear ANYONE declare “oh good, fuel is more expensive, so now I don’t need it!” That train of thought doesn’t work. It’s time to find a solution that does.

The parasols were used to shade women and children from the intense rays of the sun. This picture was taken sometime after the construction of the streetcar powerhouse in 1907.

LDSS team wins Mock Trial By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Volleyball and basketball playing surfaces aren’t the only “courts” where Leamington District Secondary School teams have experienced success. For the third consecutive year, a group of LDSS students has won the Ontario Bar Association and Ontario Justice Education Network’s Law Day Secondary School Mock Trial Tournament for the Ontario Southwest region. This year’s competition brought teams from six high schools to the Superior Court of Justice’s Windsor courtroom for head-to-head trials Monday, April 15 and for the two finalists, again on Wednesday, April 17. For the 2019 installment, teams from Holy Names, St. Joseph’s, Ursuline College Chatham, Massey and Tecumseh Vista Academy tried unsuccessfully to dethrone the LDSS squad. This year’s Leamington group was made up of students Austin ReisIves, Raine Schiefer, Kennedy Hodgson, Abbey Resendes, Layla Bakaa, Kiel Reid and Huzafa Hyde along with teacher Butch Rickeard and local attorney Scott Kerwin as the team’s lawyer coach. For each team, some students represented their schools as lawyers while others served as witnesses. In addition to the third straight team win, an LDSS participant was also selected for the individual award of “Best Lawyer” for the fourth consecutive year. This year’s winner was Hyde, following return teammate Bakaa, who took the same honour last year. Hodgson and Resendes were also on the 2018 LDSS team. This year’s LDSS group was made up of Grade 11 and 12 students who began preparing for the mock trials in February with two morning gatherings per week at the school. Each team was instructed to give itself a name that did not reflect its school of origin to prevent any biases among the panel of judges assessing scores for each trial. This year’s case was based on a criminal negligence charge where the parent of a two-year-old child failed to make timely treatment available after
the youth suffered an injury triggered by a late-night fall. Referring to the situation as “Babygate,” the LDSS entry branded itself “Nixon Redefined.” First up for the Leamington team was a Monday trial as the crown/prosecution against Tecumseh Vista Academy. Although a ‘not guilty’ verdict was declared, the LDSS team won their first of three contests based on points.
“It was nerve wracking, but exciting at the same time.” — Abbey Resendes
“The verdict is irrelevant to how your team scores,” said Rickeard, who explained that not a single team was able to successfully prosecute this year’s mock case. “The case really favoured the defense, with the crown having to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.” For the second round, Nixon Redefined successfully upheld a ‘not guilty’ verdict as the defense against Ursuline College Chatham. Each team had to
represent the crown for one trail and the defense for the other on Monday. The top two scoring teams — LDSS and Holy Names — met back in Windsor for the championship Wednesday, April 17, where the Leamington team acted as the crown. “It was a really good experience, learning more about how the court process works in Canada,” said Resendes. “It was nerve wracking, but exciting at the same time.” “It was quite a relief to win it,” Hyde said of the final. “I thought they were going to give it to the other team.” Although every team was granted a lawyer coach, the LDSS group described Kerwin’s contributions as crucial in achieving their third straight regional title. In order to stay with the Leamington team through the final, Kerwin turned down an offer for tickets to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. “He really helped us out with a lot of great advice,” said Bakaa of Kerwin’s contributions. “He offered his experience in the courtroom and it made a big difference. He’s very busy, but also very committed.” Hyde, Schiefer and Reis-
Ives will have the opportunity to represent the LDSS team again next year while the remaining students will graduate this year. Rickeard explained that he’d like to see the Leamington group face the London-area winners for “Round 2” but expects the closest region will again decline the offer. He explained that he’d like to see the Mock Trial competition reach a provincial level in the future, but noted the expenses involved could be a reoccurring obstacle.

LEAMINGTON – Chatham-Kent Leamington MP Dave Van Kesteren will be hosting a Passport Clinic on Wednesday, May 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, 249 Sherk St. For those who are not familiar, the passport clinics are staffed by volunteers who ensure all forms are filled out correctly and all required documentation is included in passport applications. The clinic accommodates first-time passport applications as well as renewals and children’s passports. There will also be a photographer on site to take passport photos. For renewals, required documentation includes: a completed application (available onsite), two passport photos (available onsite for a fee), your current passport and fee/ credit card information. For new applicants, the process is slightly more complicated. Mr. Van Kesteren’s office recommends anyone who needs a new passport to first review the requirements online to ensure they bring everything required to the passport clinic. The requirements can be found at: https://www. canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/ canadian-passports/new-adult-passport/apply.html Mr. Van Kesteren’s office will handle the mailing of passport applications (if desired) once they have been filled out and checked over by volunteers.

Community members volunteered throughout the day to accept donations and help keep the drive-thru running efficiently at the Leamington, Kingsville and Essex McDonalds and all across Canada. One dollar from the sale of every Big Mac, Happy Meal or any size McCafe beverage was donated to Ronald McDonald House, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the John D. McGivney Children’s Centre. Across Windsor-Essex, the one-day total was reported to be $223,000, and $6.5 million was raised nationally. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Council applying to program to fund Seacliff changes By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – A four-phase improvement plan for a section of Seacliff Drive could be eligible for support from provincial and federal levels. The municipality’s director of infrastructure services Robert Sharon presented to council a report suggesting that Leamington apply for an Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) Rural and Northern Stream grant, to which the Province of Ontario is a cost sharing partner. If successful, the recommended dollar amount requested would fund just over half of Phases 1 and 2 construction costs for the Seacliff Drive Reconstruction Project. The report’s recommendation was approved by council in a unanimous vote. Plans for the local project — to cover a section of Seacliff Drive from Cherry Lane to County Road 33 — got underway in 2013 when council adopted the Environmental Assessment Report as prepared by Stantec Consulting. Proposed changes include road widening and improvements to the existing design of the road and poor drainage conditions, alterations to traffic flow patterns east of the urban centre and anticipated large-scale residential and commercial development. “Leamington is growing towards the southeast and Seacliff is right there,” Sharon explained. An estimate updated earlier this year for Phases 1 and 2 has construction costs set at about $5.7 million. For the ICIP Rural and Northern Stream program, administration is recommending an application for $2.9 million — 58 per cent of the $5 million maximum eligibility and 50.9 per cent of Phases 1 and 2’s combined costs. Based on Leamington’s size, the federal government’s program could accommodate up to 50 per cent of a project’s costs while the province could pay for as much as 33 per cent — leaving application communities of Leamington’s size responsible to fund a minimum of 16.67 per cent of the balance. Although that translates to as much as $4.16 million in outside funding for the Seacliff project’s first two phases, administration recommended applying for the smaller $2.9 million amount. “We have to recognize how much money is available,” said Sharon. “If we’re not asking for more than our share, it’ll improve the chances of a successful application.” If approved, the first two phases of the Seacliff project would likely take place over the fiscal years of 2020 to 2022.

Editor: The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life Essex County brings together those in our community who are united by the same goal of creating a world where no Canadian fears cancer. This fundraising event is also an opportunity to celebrate those who live and have lived in the face of cancer and those who are moving past cancer. Last year, more than 12,000 cancer survivors across the country joined Relay For Life and took part in the Survivor’s Victory Lap. This victory lap provides an opportunity for survivors to thank those who helped them through their cancer journey, to give hope to those currently in treatment and to be part of a caring community of people who have all been touched by cancer. We invite all area cancer survivors to participate in the inspirational first lap of Relay For Life Essex County on June 7 at 7 p.m. at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. By taking part in Relay For Life as a survivor, donor, volunteer and/or fundraising team, you show the people affected by cancer in the community that they’re not alone. Money raised will help fund ground-breaking research as well as essential support services for local people living with cancer and their families. The Canadian Cancer Society believes that no one diagnosed with cancer should have to face it alone. We’re the only nationwide charitable organization located in over 70 communities, with support services reaching more Canadians than ever before. So join us at Relay For Life and help us continue our life-saving work. And together, we can prove that life is bigger than cancer.

Cardinal Carter to host Relay For Life event By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – A local high school has joined the Canadian Cancer Society’s cause. On Friday, May 31 from noon to 6 p.m., Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School will become the community’s first high school to participate in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. The school will host the event at its 120 Ellison Avenue address and will feature the fundraiser’s traditional Survivor Walk. Currently, organizers — the Grade 11 leadership students of Cardinal Carter teacher Kate Fox — are in search of cancer survivors to participate in the walk. Participating survivors will be treated to a free meal, Relay For Life t-shirt and access to the event’s VIP area. “I wanted to see the students get involved with a community cause and the Canadian Cancer Society is pushing for more youth involvement,” Fox explained of her class’s decision to accept the CCS’s invitation to start its own Relay For Life. “A lot of people have family battling cancer or who’ve died of cancer, which just pushes us to get involved even more.” Fox’s two leadership classes consist of more than 40 students, 10 of whom are on the Relay For Life’s organizing committee. To qualify as a site for the annual fundraiser, the school had to submit an application explaining why it should be chosen. As part of Cardinal Carter’s series of events, there will be a ceremony in the gymnasium where students gather with candles. “It’s a pretty emotional thing to see,” said Fox, noting that the lights-out event symbolizes the darkness that patients go through when battling cancer. Throughout the six-hour fundraiser, live music will be provided by the school’s choir, bands, teachers and other community members. Included in the lineup will be Cardinal Carter alumni Justin Zuccato. Thus far, 20 teams have signed up to have at least one member walking around the school’s back field track at all times. The relay portion of the event will include a congo line lap and a Timbit spoon race lap. Fox explained that her team is hoping to encourage at least 300 participants to register. As of Monday, May 13, $2,274 of the school’s $15,000 goal had been collected through online pledges. To register, pledge forms can be picked up at the high school or accessed online at www.bit.ly/cc_relay4life and clicking on “sign up” or “donate” to make a contribution. Individuals who fundraise $100 or more online until June 18 at 11:59 p.m. will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch console, a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game and a set of Nintendo Joy-Con controllers. At the school, the top fundraising team will have access to the VIP tent while top individual collectors will also receive a set of Airpods (wireless ear buds). Fox said the school hopes to host a Relay For Life event annually. “The money goes not only to research, but also people with cancer,” she noted. Anyone interested in collecting pledges for the event or cancer survivors and patients interested in participating in the relay-starting Survivors Victory Walk can contact Cardinal Carter at 519-322-2804.

Kingsville woman honoured with volunteering award KINGSVILLE – Seven recipients were honoured at this year’s Volunteers Changing Lives Awards held in April at the Ambassador Golf Club where the outstanding contributions of volunteers in Windsor and Essex County were celebrated. “You can’t help but see all the local love that is out there for our community and be inspired when you hear the stories of these volunteers,” said Lorraine Goddard, CEO of United Way/Centraide Windsor-Essex County. “Communities are stronger when we nurture the collective action of local volunteers. Our community is richer because of the contributions of the Volunteers Changing Lives in Our Community Award recipients, and the efforts of so many unnamed volunteers across Windsor Essex County. We thank them for their efforts.” This year’s recipients include Julie Charlton of Kingsville, who received the award for “Changing Lives by Helping Kids Be All That They Can Be.” Julie has been a committed volunteer tutor for United Way’s On Track to Success program since 2015. She has worked with dozens of high school aged youth, helping them study, complete assignments and has given tips and tricks in order to be the best student that they can be. Her gentle demeanor, approachability and ability to re-focus students have paved the way for countless students to succeed academically. Finding tutors who possess the skills and knowledge to help the older and more academic students is challenging for program staff. Julie spent late weeknights after work in a classroom with the students. Her expertise in math and science subjects has always been in great need. Tutors with these qualities are in high demand by employers and have demanding work schedules too. Julie’s tutoring goes beyond academics. She has a special way of making connec-

Public performances took place on the evenings of May 9, 10 and 11 at the school. A cast of 24 and stage crew of 14 students participated in the production, the first for LDSS since 2017.

Theatre returns to LDSS Beauty and the Beast
By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Despite facing a major challenge with costumes, Leamington District Secondary School presented a “Beauty” of a play for the first time in two years. After keeping the stage curtains closed for 2018, LDSS presented a threenight production of Beauty and the Beast from Thursday, May 9 to Saturday, May 11 — the first open-

to-the-public theatrical performance at the current Oak Street West school. The play was directed by LDSS drama teacher Melissa McLeod and choreographed by LDSS alumni Becca Silvius. The cast included 23 students from Grades 9 to 12 while the stage crew was made up of a team of 14 additional students. “With a new sound system, new lighting and a new configuration of space, it took some getting used to,” McLeod explained. “We’ve been very well supported by the administration of this school. So many teachers and students have had a hand in this production — it’s been amazing to see it all come together.” The biggest hurdle for the cast and behind-the-scenes volunteers to overcome was the acquisition of costumes. Initially, the school had a commitment from Grosse

Pointe Theatre to borrow the necessary costumes, but the Michigan-based company went on to win an award for their rendition of the same production. Grosse Pointe Theatre was then scheduled to perform the play at an awards ceremony slotted for the same time frame as the LDSS showings. Stepping up to the challenge of securing costumes were Migration Hall production manager Bonnie Porteous and Andrea Kubis. Outfits were loaned from a junior version of the production presented by Sandwich West Public School while wolf masks were borrowed from Chatham’s Studio Black. The mask worn by “Beast” was created by Sarah Golden, who spent her Grade 9 year at LDSS before relocating to Harrow, where McLeod taught before its closure. Lead roles for Beauty and the Beast at LDSS included Serenity Schroeder as Belle, Jordan Brimner as Beast, Jeremiah Wiebe as Gaston and Jude Mercer as his sidekick LeFou. Some members of the cast have also appeared in Little Tomato Children’s Theatre productions, including the recent presentation of Alice in Wonderland Junior. “We have a lot of super talented kids here,” McLeod explained of her cast. LDSS’s most recent performance was a rendition of School House Rock Junior, offered publically at The Bank Theatre in 2017. McLeod explained that she’d like LDSS to focus on Little Women as its next production, if the school can attain the rights.

LDSS forms fishing team By Bryan Jessop
Not all competitors from Leamington District Secondary School focusing on the water are looking to set a best time in the backstroke or individual medley. For the second consecutive year, LDSS will be sending a fishing team to the Edu-Cast High School Fishing Tournament, hosted annually by the Pleasant Valley Trout Farm. This year, the team is being backed by the Southwestern Outdoors Club, which is providing all participating LDSS students with new team shirts. The Lions’ team is again being led by LDSS teacher Bill Fenton. For 2019, the Leamington group will be made up of 41 students from Grades 9 to 12, including five girls. Last year’s group was less than half the size, at 18. Fenton explained that the idea to form a school-based fishing team started as a joke with students during a field trip last year. “They challenged me to find them a tournament, which was actually a great idea,” he said. “I went online and found the Edu-Cast tournament and before we knew it, we had a team.

The Leamington District Secondary School first entered a fishing team into the 2018 edition of the Edu-Cast High School Fishing Tournament at Pleasant Valley Trout Farm near St. Thomas.

The LDSS team’s size more than doubled from 18 to 41 students. (Submitted photos) from the 2018 team have
also signed on for this year’s Edu-Cast tournament, the 15th of its kind. The balance of last year’s team graduated last year. The high school event drew 850 entries last year from as far as Ottawa, each of whom competes individually rather than members of an actual team. Pleasant Valley, a short distance from St. Thomas, features five ponds for competitors to fish from. Entries can have every catch measured towards their score before releasing it back into the pond it came from, although rules stipulate that only one carp can be weighed. Other fish found in the Pleasant Valley ponds include pike, bass,

The Top 10 finishers each year are invited to participate in a Pro Am tournament at the end of June where entries are granted use of top-of-theline professional equipment. For the 2019-’20 school year, Fenton hopes to see LDSS form an official fishing club as early as the autumn months. For this summer, he is encouraging
team members to volunteer their time to assist with the Southwestern Outdoors Club’s annual Kids’ Fishing Derby. “I’d really like to see them get involved with conservation efforts and get them more active outdoors,” Fenton said. “This could be a really good chance to get more kids away from their screens.”

Weather spoils the day for Wheatley senior golfers By Bob McLean
Tuesday, May 7 was another disappointing wet day for golf and only six Talbot Trail senior golfers were able to finish their nine holes of play. Doug Langlois won for closest to the pin on #9. Let’s keep hoping that all this wet, cool weather is soon behind us and that we will be able to hit the little white sphere at TTGC. Derek, Robert, Lloyd and Phil have done a tremendous job on preparing the course for play. The greens are in terrific shape and they have kept the fairways and rough cut extremely well considering the massive rainfall we’ve experienced. See you soon at the course!

Erie Shores senior men’s golf officially begins
Cardinal Carter girls soccer vs. Belle River Kayla Gualtieri of the Cougars gets tripped up by a Belle River defender as she tries to advance towards the Nobles’ net with the ball during the first half of a WECSSAA 2A senior girls’ soccer game at the Leamington Soccer Complex Tuesday, May 7. The Cougars won the chilly, rain-soaked match 2-0 on a pair of goals by Jaclyn Moore and a shutout performance by netminder Kylie Cioci. With the win, the Cardinal Carter girls finished the regular season with a record of four victories, one loss and three ties for 15 points — good for second place in the eight-team 2A County division. In the following boys’ game, the Cougars cruised to an 8-1 win, also against the visiting Nobles. The Cardinal Carter boys’ regular season ended with seven wins, zero losses and one tie for 22 points and first place in the eight-team 2A County division. Both Cougars teams are the only 1A entries in their 2A divisions. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Pets of the Week
PENNY
HARRISON
5 years old Lab mix Penny is a very sweet and gentle girl. She loves quality time with people, and going for walks. From what we have seen, she has a great personality and is a love bug. She does have a bouncy, excitable side, but seems to know her manners well. We think this girl has a lot to offer, and hope you see that too!
1 year old Harrison may seem a little on the timid side when you first meet him so you’ll need a slow and quiet approach, but only for a few minutes. Then he enjoys your company, not your lap. He’s a very quiet fellow who enjoys being near you but can entertain himself if you’re busy.

Golf season finally got here. After a rainout on April 29, the Erie Shores senior men’s golf league officially opened May 6 on a beautiful sunny day. Although the course was still wet and soft, carts were allowed to run but on the fairways only. The draw winners were Norm Beattie and Gary McRae. Closest to the pin on #3 was Rudy Dyck and on #16 Ed Schachowskoy’s shot won. The longest putt on #9 was sunk by Bill Gherasim and on #18 by Norm Beattie. In a game of straight golf, the winning team, with a net score of 303, was Norm Beattie, Wayne Wiseman, Paul Pringle and Jim Sudds.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 The more you take on, the more support you need, Aries. You can benefit from a mentor or consultant who has the expertise to help you get where you need to go. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Others understand that you’re the go-to when things need fixing, Taurus. You have the ability to help in any situation. Embrace this talent and help others as much as you can.
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Listen to your gut, Gemini. If you do so, others will follow your lead. It is time to step up and take charge. Don’t worry, you will not need to justify all the decisions you make. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You must be very honest in your relationships this week, Cancer. Don’t confuse opinions with the truth. Maintain an open dialogue with others around you. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Guessing will only get you so far, Leo. Instead, you must base decisions off fact and forethought; otherwise, you may end up having to do everything all over. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Take a break from alone time and make reservations for dinner for two or more, Virgo. Socializing is invaluable and can have a positive, long-lasting effect on your relationships. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s alright to cede a little control this week, Libra. Delegating and sharing responsibilities can open your eyes to the talented people around you. Don’t feel guilty about taking on less work. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You are a creative force who inspires others to take up their own projects or follow their hearts, Scorpio. Expect others to recognize your influence and express their appreciation. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, take a step back and slow down the pace if you find you have been spreading yourself too thin. This is not giving up, but taking a break. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Some pretty big ideas may inspire you to do some impressive things, Capricorn. You just need to find an investor and put some firm plans on paper. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It can be challenging to be productive if your house isn’t in order, Aquarius. Give your personal life some attention and tend to affairs that may have been on the back burner for awhile. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take charge of a mission by encouraging others to stay focused on the task at hand. You need to be the ringleader and set an example for others to follow.

With a record of 4-3-1, the Lightning finished third in the six-team 1A division. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Winning streak ends for St. John-Worth You can’t win them all, although Tyler St. John-Worth came close. After four consecutive victories, St. John-Worth — coached by Kingsville’s Doug Patterson — was narrowly defeated by Toronto’s Navraj Sran in a Saturday, May 11 bout in Woodstock. After the gruelling match, the Tilbury fighter lost in a 2-1 split decision. “It was amazing how evenly matched they were,” said Patterson. “The guys in the other corner had their heads down… they thought their fighter lost.” In the Elite Men’s Open division despite having only
14 fights to his name, St. John-Worth competes in the 140 lbs/64 kg weight class. Going into the Saturday bout, Sran had about 40 fights under his belt. The two fighters are scheduled to meet again in a rematch to take place in Bayfield, Ont. Saturday, May 25. Kingsville’s Tiago Baltiero, who recently won the Youth 178 lbs/81kg national title in British Columbia, is heading to Montreal to attend another training camp. In early June, he is scheduled to fight internationally by heading overseas to fight in Ireland and Hungary.

Leamington business giving back to Brain Tumour Foundation LEAMINGTON – If you’re a customer of A.M.A., then you probably know they are ardent supporters of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada (BTFC). Perhaps you even know that the sale of every Al’s Flower Pouch in Canada supports BTFC, which in turn supports patients living with a brain tumour and their families across Canada. May is Brain Tumour Awareness Month and as part of BTFC’s #TurnMayGrey campaign, A.M.A. is sharing their story of how this partnership got started, and why it’s so important to the A.M.A. team. A Difficult Diagnosis In 2000, the lives of A.M.A.’s Managing Directors, Rick and Connie Bradt, were forever changed when Rick received his diagnosis. What he thought were vision problems and migraines turned out to be something completely unexpected: a pituitary macroadenoma – a non-malignant brain tumour. After three surgeries and incredible care from
doctors, nurses, family and friends, today Rick is living brain tumour-free. “When I was first diagnosed, I was shocked and wanted more information, but it wasn’t easy to find,” said Rick. “I found Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s website, and it became my trusted information source.” An estimated 55,000 Canadians live with brain tumours. BTFC’s mission is to reach every person in Canada affected by a brain tumour through support, education, information and research. They fund the Brain Tumour Registry, the Brain Tumour Tissue Bank and major research projects in Canada in addition to important personal patient and caregiver support and other services. Giving Back with Al’s Flower Pouch Rick and Connie wanted to find a way to give back to the organization that had given them so much during a difficult time. “Al’s Flower Pouch is our flagship retail item. You can find it in backyards, patios

Dyck purchased a 2016 GMC Yukon Denali from Hutchinson to qualify for the draw, open to all customers who purchased or leased a new or used vehicle from Leamington GM between February 1 and April 30 of this year. The $10,000 winner had to be present during the draw to claim the prize. This year, 201 customers were eligible for the draw. (Southpoint Sun Sun Photo)

and public spaces throughout Canada,” said Rick. “We knew that if we stamped the backs of our pouches with the BTFC logo and contact information, we might be able to raise awareness and offer support to people living with brain tumours across the country.” Al’s Flower Pouch was invented by A.M.A.’s founder, and Connie Bradt’s father, Allen Monsma, in 1992. For the past 16 years, every Canadian sale of Al’s Flower Pouch has supported BTFC.

“Al’s Flower Pouch has helped us to donate more than $98,000 to BTFC, and that’s thanks to our customers who have been such strong champions of this product. We are grateful to all of you,” said Rick. #BradtsBrains are Walking for a Cure A.M.A.’s support of this important cause doesn’t end with the Al’s Flower Pouch. Connie and Rick have also started Team #BradtsBrains as part of the annual Brain Tumour Walk. The team’s rotating roster of walkers includes A.M.A. staff, family and friends of Connie and Rick. “We’ve done three walks to date in Windsor and London, Ontario, and we’re especially excited about our walk this year,” said Connie Bradt. “In addition to a #BradtsBrains Team walking in this year’s Brain Tumour Walk in Windsor, which A.M.A. is sponsoring, we will be taking a second #BradtsBrains team to the Netherlands to do a walk in the small village where my Dad was born.” Rick, Connie, and their children and grandchild will join supporters in Broeksterwoude, NL, including many Monsma family relatives, for a 5 km walk in support of BTFC and the Dutch equivalent on June 7, 2019. “This year’s walk is bringing everything full circle for our family,” continued Connie. “When we were preparing for Rick’s final surgery, we decided to give back to BTFC with the sale of Al’s Flower Pouch, invented by my Dad. Now we’re going to do the BTFC walk with my Dad’s family in his hometown in Holland. That’s incredible.” “I was very fortunate,” said Rick. “Not all brain tumour patients are. There’s still a long way to go, and A.M.A. is committed to helping the brain tumour community push forward.”
Two Kingsville breweries part of 519 Collab
Enjoy the beer; support local charities WINDSOR-ESSEX – What do you get when you bring 10 amazing breweries together to create a unique brew? The 519 Collab, that’s what. Ten craft beers from 10 breweries have come together to create one exclusive and limited edition pale ale. In a Windsor Essex first, WindsorEats has rallied together 10 of the region’s breweries to create a one of kind collaboration beer. Two Kingsville Brewers are part of the collaboration. Each brewery provided a keg of one of their own pale ales. All 10 pale ales were then combined and blended in one tank. Brewers gathered at Frank Brewing for an afternoon of creation, collaboration and camaraderie. The blend was then recirculated over Sasquatch hops, provided by Hops Connect to add a bit more complexity to the flavour. Sasquatch hops are the first hop to be bred and grown in Canada, some of it right here in Essex County. The final product is a beer with medium to high bitterness. You’ll be able to get some vanilla and fruit notes as well as tropical fruit and mango mixed with some berry flavours. It is literally a one of a kind beer. The idea stemmed from Brad Wright, head brewer at Frank Brewing in Tecumseh. During his time working and living in Vankleek Hill, Ontario, with Beau’s All Natural, he was involved in a similar project. “I did something similar in the past, but wanted to try and get our Essex County breweries to have more of a community feel to it. We are all always so busy so I just wanted a day to get good friends together to enjoy some company and good beers,” said Brad. “If more partnerships and friendships happen because of it, even better.” Brad approached WindsorEats to take the lead on his idea and for bringing the breweries together and setting a plan in motion. The beer was launched at each of the 10 participating breweries beginning on May 13, the week leading up to 5.19 Day (May 19). 519 Day is a celebration of Windsor through the date representation of its 519 area code. To show appreciation and showcase the importance local breweries can have to building up neighbourhoods, community and tourism in the region, proceeds of the 519 Collab are being given back to community. Each brewery has selected a charity that matters most to them and will donate all the proceeds from sales generated within their establishment to their charity. The 10 breweries involved and their selected charity: • Banded Goose Brewing - The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Foundation • Brew - Tree Canada • Chapter Two Brewing Company - The Little Things Matter • Craft Heads Brewing Company - The Little Things Matter • Frank Brewing Company - Roots 2 Wings • GL Heritage Brewing Company - Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation • The Grove Brew House - The Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance • Motor Craft Ales - Gay Straight Alliance (Run for Rocky) • Sandwich Brewing Company - Windsor-Essex County Humane Society • Walkerville Brewery - The Hospice of Windsor & Essex County

David Anderson David George Anderson, known to most as “Ponch”, died Saturday, May 11, 2019 at Leamington Hospital (Erie Shores HealthCare) with family by his side. Dave was predeceased by his parents Jack and Nell Anderson, siblings Charles Anderson and Beatrice Charboneau, and his son Clint. He was loved by his dear friend Mary Klym and her family for many years. Dave was a father to Rob Anderson, Kathy Noble (John) and Jim Anderson (Kate). Known as Pup to Oscar, Jack, Jesse, Sarah, Jenny, Jared, and eight great-grandchildren. Ponch was a man of many trades. He worked as a commercial fisherman, commercial hard hat diver and Telesis oil field supervisor, with a few other stops along the way. Early mornings Ponch could be found enjoying his coffee at the Leamington Marina with his friends close by. His interests included playing in the garden, canning, smoking fish, but most importantly, he was a fisherman at heart. A close friend once said, “Ponch was an inspiration. Life is a gift and your dad lived every day. He woke up every day with a purpose, from baking bread to drying minnows. Ponch didn’t need cronies; he fished by himself, he spent hours in his garden alone... he enjoyed his own company.” In memory of our dad, please take the time to pay it forward. There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, May 25, 2019 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the Erieau Fire Hall. Online condolences are welcome at www.lifetransitions.ca

1947 Monarch coupe with Leamington history An email arrived from Moe Hamelin of Midland: “Hi Bill. I am trying to find the history of my 1947 Monarch coupe (#031H47-120277). It was built in the Windsor plant near the end of September 1947, judging by the scripting on the glass. “I bought it from William Graham of West Lorne, Ontario. He bought it from Patrick Lobzun in Wheatley, who bought it from the original owner, a Mr. Caesar DeBolare (not sure of the spelling), a Belgian who farmed near Point Pelee and grew beans, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. Bill Sherk He owned the car until 1970, when he sold it to Patrick Lobzun.” If the original owner bought the car in Leamington, it came from Eaton Motors, the FordMonarch dealership at 67 Talbot Street East. We hope to hear from Leamington residents who might remember this car. The original owner bought a uniquely Canadian car. Ford of Canada in 1946 introduced two separate lines of dealerships across the country. The Monarch, based on the Mercury 118, gave Ford dealers a car to sell in the medium-price field. Mercury and Lincoln dealerships had the new and uniquely Canadian Mercury 114, based on the Ford, to sell in the low-price field. After Moe bought the Monarch, which was licensed and running but need some TLC, he began working on it in 2005. “Everything was taken apart piece by piece and taken to the paint shop. While the car was being stripped and painted the original parrot green metallic, I worked on the stainless,

it being the most time consuming part. Along with all the small pieces, I found an original backup light, a bracket, and a set of original fog lights. “The chasing of all the parts and all the great people I found made the journey worthwhile. I enjoy taking my Monarch to car shows, cruise nights and for pleasure rides on a sunny day.” The 3rd Annual All-Ford Car Show is at the historic Essex Railway Station in Essex on Friday, June 7 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 519-776-9800.
