Tomato Visitor Information Booth closed pending assessment LEAMINGTON – The Leamington District Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Municipality of Leamington, has closed the Tomato Visitor Information Booth due to the current state of the structure. The Tomato Visitor Information Booth is operated by the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce. Upon opening for the 2019 season, it was discovered that the structure had deteriorated into a state of disrepair since its closure in the fall of 2018, to such an extent that the Chamber was concerned for the safety of its volunteer ambassadors. Representatives met last week to discuss the booth’s condition. “We feel that we cannot safely open the Tomato because of the rain water damage,” said Leamington Chamber of Commerce general manager Wendy Parsons. “We thought we fixed the problem a year ago, but apparently not.” The Tomato Visitor Information Booth will remain closed pending the completion of a condition assessment and the development of an action plan. In the interim, the Municipality will be examining how to effectively deliver visitor

information services, which may focus on the use of mobile technology to fill the gap for the 2019 season. The results of the condition assessment — for which council has set aside $20,000 to have conducted — will help determine the use of the structure in the future. “I don’t think we can keep it running as it has been for the sake of history,” explained Leamington CAO Peter Neufeld during last week’s meeting with members of the Chamber of Commerce. “We want to honour our past, but not make it an impediment to our future.” In the event that the municipality and the local Chamber of Commerce determine and agree that ‘The Big Tomato’ can no longer function as a tourism booth, the possibility remains that it could continue to function as a Leamington landmark. “There’s no denying that the tomato (as a crop) helped to build Leamington, but what’s its connection to tourism?,” Neufeld said. “It’s time for a new look on how tourism is presented in our community.” Neufeld explained that although a timeline for a condition assessment is not yet available, the process will likely take place soon and be completed quickly.

Human trafficking has become a top priority for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the social agencies that support the victims and their families. Chatham-Kent Leamington Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Rick Nicholls held a Human Trafficking Town Hall on Thursday, May 23 to discuss the problem that is a local and international crime affecting predominantly teens and young adults. Twenty-seven-year-old Victoria is a human trafficking survivor. She told the audience of more than 80 interested residents how she managed to escape her abuser and is now involved in a court case. What started out as a “relationship” soon turned into an abusive, controlling criminal case of trafficking sex for money. It’s something that keeps OPP Detective Sergeant Kim Miller awake at night. “It breaks your heart,” she said. “We want to stop it from happening in the first place, not just keep rescuing them. It’s hard on us to talk about. These are kids in a lot of cases.” Det. Sgt. Miller explained how predators troll social media for potential targets and use one teen to lure other teens. “It’s kids. They’re getting kids to recruit for them through various methods of control,” she said of some cases. Det. Sgt. Miller reminded everyone that the reason there is human trafficking is because there is a demand. “It’s supply and demand. The supply is kids and the demand is for young, sweet girls for sex.” A sting operation in the London area placed an on-line ad that ran for six days. There were 9,000 views in six days. “That’s the kind of demand out there,” she said. Joanna Conrad, Executive Director of Essex County Youth Diversion, talked to the parents and guardians in the audience about the dangers of social media, cell phones and the internet. “The internet can be great, but it’s also a ‘comparison trap’. As adults, we fall into it when we see our friends on extravagant trips and new cars and exciting lives… Now imagine being 13 again and being exposed to that,” she warned. (Continued on Page 7)

Wednesday, May 29, 2019

A group of pledge collectors completes its first lap along the walking trail at Seacliff Park as they take part in Leamington’s first ever IG Wealth Management Walk For Alzheimer’s Saturday, May 25. In Leamington, the fundraiser collected about $2,700 in pledges from 50 entries.

Walk for Alzheimer’s comes to Leamington LEAMINGTON – A fundraiser for a worthy cause has taken its first steps in the Tomato Capital. The Alzheimer’s Society of Windsor and Essex County held its first IG Wealth Management Walk For Alzheimer’s in Leamington Saturday, May 25, one day

in advance of the annual event in Windsor. The first of its kind 5 km walk-a-thon drew about 50 participants in Leamington, who collected a total of about $2,700 in pledges. Before the Leamington walk began, organizers played a recording of the song “The Happy Place,” written by Windsor’s Tim

King in honour of the caregivers who looked after his mother — an Alzheimer’s patient. The song was performed and recorded by Leamington’s Jody Raffoul. The Windsor edition of the walk raised the remaining funds necessary to reach this year’s Windsor-Essex target of $30,000. “For a first year event to

have a response like this is pretty good,” explained Alzheimer’s Society of Windsor-Essex County community engagement and volunteer coordinator Angela Belleau. “It was calling for bad weather today and it was raining heavily at 2 a.m. Considering that and the other events going on today, I think we’ve done well.”

In support of the event, Kautex and Unifor Local 195 donated the use of a barbecue for an after-walk lunch for participants while the Windsor Chrysler Superstore set up a Memory Garden for entries to plant decorative simulated flowers in honour of loved ones who’ve died of or been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Other sponsors and supporters included Seasons Retirement Community of Windsor-Essex, Maggie’s Reflexology with onsite services for walkers, fruit donated by Chartwell Retirement Residence of Leamington, Lifetimes on Riverside, Century 21 and Mac Coatings. The new Leamington edition of the Walk For Alzheimer’s took place with multiple laps along the walking path at Seacliff Park. Belleau was backed by a team of about 10 volunteers, some of whom experienced the affects of Alzheimer’s from within their own families. Belleau explained that she hopes to see the Leamington Walk For Alzheimer’s become a yearly occasion as it has been in Windsor for the past several years. This year’s Windsor walk was attended by more than 200 pledge collectors at the city’s Ford Test Track. The Windsor event started off at Devonshire Mall in January before relocating outdoors for a date in May. Today, the Walk For Alzheimer’s takes place in 150 communities across Canada, although the money raised by the two local versions remains in Windsor-Essex County in support of programs for local dementia patients and their caregivers. IG Wealth Management is in its second of three years of an agreement with Walk For Alzheimer’s as its main sponsor.

Now open until 6:00pm on Saturdays

LDSS hosts first Trivia Night LEAMINGTON – Leamington District Secondary School has taken another step closer to funding its new outdoor running track and soccer/football field. On Friday, May 24, the school hosted a Trivia Night in support of its Finish The Field Campaign. The event, organized by Dina Riccio, raised in excess of $6,000 towards the new field, which is expected to be ready for use upon the start of the 2019-’20 school year. Organizes hope to see the trivia competition become an annual event. The inaugural version brought in 31 teams, with cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 going to the members of the top three teams. After eight rounds, the Dream Warriors took top honours with 69 points. Second place went to Les Patriotes with 66 points while Lisa, Leisa and Trivia Jam claimed third with 64 points.

Public responds to impending Parkdale closure By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Municipal council’s invitation for public input on the forthcoming closure of Parkdale Avenue did not go unnoticed. In early April, the Municipality of Leamington set aside a portion of its Tuesday, May 14 agenda to hear comments, questions and concerns from affected Parkdale Avenue residents relating to plans for a developer to build two 10-storey apartment complexes between the western, dead end cul de sac and Sherk Street between Margaret and Audrey Streets. About 20 residents attended the meeting, voicing concerns on topics that ranged from parking availability on their street to increased traffic and accessibility limitations to be caused by construction and accompanying, temporary closure of part of their street. Construction on Parkdale Avenue itself will consist of the shortening of the street by about 40 feet via a new cul de sac to make way for Parkdale Condominiums parking spaces along the eastern perimeter of the future development’s property. Baird AE president Matt Baird attended the meeting to field questions by Parkdale residents who’ll be affected by the changes, primarily inhabitants of properties at or near the street’s west end. Baird explained that

construction will not likely begin for another one to two years and that the developer — Kennadian Investments Inc. — will not be building the two apartment structures simultaneously. Multiple residents explained that the new, shortened cul de sac would reduce their own availability of parking while at the same increasing traffic on Parkdale — which one attendee noted has already increased by about 25 per cent since the opening of the Starbucks coffee shop at the corner of Erie Street South and the east end of Parkdale.

“I think when it’s all said and done, there’ll be a little less traffic.” — John Hammond

“A lot of drivers go flying down that street and then whip around at the end and fly back (towards Erie Street) when they realize they can’t get through,” he said. Although a small yellow and black ‘no exit’ sign exists on the north side of Parkdale near the Erie intersection, it was noted that it goes unnoticed by many motorists expecting to find another intersection at the west end. “I’m sure if we could keep some of the traffic off that street, it would ease some of the concerns of

residents,” noted councillor John Jacobs, who suggested larger signage. Members of the public in attendance also questioned the capacity of the new sewers that already presented traffic challenges during their construction. A report issued by director of legal and legislative services Ruth Orton explained that Parkdale Condominiums will in fact be adequately served through sewer connections established close to the end of Parkdale. The same report indicated that there will be no motor vehicle access to the future apartment complex from Parkdale. Instead, access to and from the development’s parking lot will be through laneways accessing Sherk Street. “I think the developers have gone out of their way to bring the best case scenario forward,” said councillor Tim Wilkinson in explaining his support of the project. “There’s a big need in the community for housing. I commend these men (Kennadian’s Nigel Marsh and Baldev Marsh) for having the foresight to do this.” “We cant’s stop this type of development,” added councillor John Hammond. “I think when it’s all said and done, there’ll be a little less traffic.” Mayor Hilda MacDonald also noted that while there will be inconveniences, the development of the two 54-unit condominiums will be a benefit to the community.

UFCW raises $1,300 for Leukemia support By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Less than great weather couldn’t stop UFCW Locals 175 and 633 from supporting a great cause in the heart of Leamington. Members of the union from as far as Mississauga met in front of Highbury Canco on Erie Street North Wednesday, May 22 for their third annual barbecue fundraiser in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. The sale of hot dogs, burgers, beverages and raffle tickets for prizes donated by area businesses generated funds donated to the LLSC as the first of two fundraisers for the cause in the region. Another UFCW barbecue for the same organization till take place at Cavendish Appetizers and Milo-FAIS Ltd. just west of Wheatley Wednesday, June 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. For each of the past three years at Highbury Canco, the UFCW barbecue has been organized by the union’s Leamington-based administrative assistant Helene Caine. “She’s the one who drums up the donations and prizes — she does a really good job,” explained UFCW Locals 175 and 633 secretary treasurer Kelly Tosato. “Without her, the rest of us would have a lot more work to do here,” added regional director Angela Mat-

tioli. Caine credited Highbury Canco, Cavendish Appetizers, Leamington GM and other contributing local businesses for making the Leukemia fundraiser possible. Last year’s barbecue and raffle at Highbury Canco, which experienced far more favourable weather than the first and third installments, raised $2,800. Chilly winds and rain affected this year’s results in Leamington, which generated another $1,372 in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. “If we can meet last year’s total, that’s great, but if not, that’s okay too,” said Tosato during the first of two ‘shifts’ for the May

22 barbecue. “The weather will probably be a factor this year.” Last year, the union’s Local 175 collected funds totaling about $150,000 in support of the LLSC through fundraisers including barbecues, golf and bowling tournaments, scrapbooking events and ‘Diamonds and Denim’ events. Complimenting barbecue lunch items purchased primarily by Highbury Canco employees as well as occasional pedestrians in the area were the sale of raffle tickets for 27 prizes donated by Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley area businesses. Jackets, gift cards, gym memberships, planters, shirts and other items were made available as prizes.

Editor’s Note: The following is in response to Jessop’s Journal: Green Versus Green, Bryan Jessop’s column about the cost of carbon taxes and cap and trade that appeared in the May 15, 2019 issue of The Southpoint Sun. I read your editorial today and I can sympathize with the feeling of hopelessness that came across in your piece. I believe to make a big difference there needs to be a major change to the way items are packaged and disposed of, and a cultural shift away from convenience toward sustainability. I have only recently been thinking about these things and it is daunting! That said, I have come across a few resources that have helped me to see there are small changes I can implement at home and in the way I shop that can lead to change – small scale, but if everyone undertook small-scale changes, the impact would be anything but small! I have found podcasts

featuring Bea Johnson (and her book Zero-Waste Home) and Sarah Wilson (author of I Quit Sugar) to be a great source of ideas and encouragement with small things we can do to make an impact. If we each start with just one thing, such as no longer accepting plastic shopping bags in lieu of bringing our own reusable bag, imagine how many less plastic bags we will see littered around our communities! Once we have one thing figured out, add another, and keep going! We can share our experience with friends and family, and perhaps lead a movement within our circle of influence. I encourage you to look into what you can do and share these ideas through your editorial and start a movement within Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley. Although you did not mention the environmental impacts on local wildlife, I also wanted to share with you that I have recently started on a quest to learn more about gardening with

native plants to increase habitat on a very local level for insects, butterflies and moths, dragonflies and birds. Lorraine Johnson has some excellent books on the subject for anyone looking to make a difference in their garden. I have a lot to learn and even more to do to make my vision of a naturalized garden a reality, but again, start small. Learn about the importance of native plants and slowly start introducing native plants into your landscape. Native Trees and Plants in Amherstburg is a great source for plants and advice. I have found that learning about what actions I can take in my own home has provided me with some hope because now there is something I can do about it, no matter how small. I have also had to realize that it takes a while to develop new habits and new knowledge, but just keep moving forward! I hope you will do the same. – Tiffanie Rajki, Kingsville

There’s an app for that Most people look forward to early June. It’s my favourite month of the year as far as weather goes; not as hot as July, but the miserable elements of winter are finally 100 per cent dead and gone. For me, early June brings with it just one tiny little problem. It’s the time of year that all my insurance policies renew, which means sorting through a boatload of mail to make sure there are no errors and that everything’s in order. This year in particular was kind of an irritating one. The company I’m with for auto, home and life insurance offers its clients En Route, which provides an in-car device that records your driving patterns, speed, etc. I’ve never been 100 per cent in love with it because of the “Big Brother’s watchBryan Jessop ing you” factor, but it’s worked out to discounts of 18 and 15 per cent for my wife and I, respectively (the three per cent differential can probably be accounted for by my somewhat heavier right foot). Anyway, this year, En Route has made the ever so brilliant decision to replace the little plug in devices with a cell phone app. The little plug in piece of plastic is no longer an option — you MUST download the app or the En Route service is no longer available to you. To make a long story short, we’ll miss the discount, but neither my wife or I is willing to download another bloody app. For one thing, there’s enough crap on our phones. To give you an idea how out of touch I am with all the bells and whistles most cell phones provide, my most common use for the thing is the actual phone. Without a word of a lie, both my parents are more tablet/cell phone savvy than me. Oh, but that’s far from being the only issue. If you climb into someone else’s vehicle as a passenger and they decide to hum along at 120 km/hr in a 50 km/hr zone, the En Route app will think YOU are driving YOUR car at that speed unless you remember to open the app and select the “Passenger” setting before the vehicle starts moving. As someone who’s been known to forget where my leftovers are after I’ve heated them up (surprise, they’re in the microwave), this could become a problem. I started to wonder what the En Route app might think is going on while a user is walking around uptown or shopping at his/her favourte store — will it assume you’re driving on the sidewalk or through the aisles of Wal Mart at 3.5 km/hr? I could just imagine hopping on a plane to visit a friend in Winnipeg and then getting a notice in the mail from the insurance company explaining that my auto insurance premiums have increased 10,000-fold because I was recorded driving 25,000 ft above sea level at 850 km/hr over Lake Superior. The point is that not every facet of our lives requires an app — or any other form of cutting-edge technology for that matter. I remember a credit card commercial where everyone in line at a cash register is just zipping along until one hapless customer shows up with cash and the whole process grinds to a halt. What a crock of you-know-what. Cash, in its 2,600-year history, has never required anyone to remember or type in a password. It isn’t activated by a computer system that breaks down twice a day and after all these years, it’s remained 100 per cent immune to the perils of identity theft. Think of what would happen if some of the technologies we’ve relied on suddenly went kaput permanently, worldwide. Most of human life would be spun into chaos if every computer stopped working, yet as recently as the 1980s, we’d have shrugged our shoulders and moved on with our lives. Think of what would happen if hydro suddenly became unavailable. We’d be doomed, yet some of us have grandparents who can recall having lived without it. Nowadays, we can’t buy a toaster without being given instructions on how to register it online. Have we become a bit too reliant on what was recently just another gimmick? Appsolutely.

Hogs for Hospice to receive provincial funding LEAMINGTON – The Provincial government has announced more than $13-million in funding to over 250 festivals and events, with an additional $4 million in funding for Blockbuster events. Included in the funding is Hogs for Hospice, which will receive $48,125 in funding from Celebrate Ontario 2019. Funds raised at the event support Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington. Celebrate Ontario supports local festivals and events of all sizes to reach new audiences, improve the programs for visitors, benefit local economies and create new jobs. The Celebrate Ontario Blockbuster category encourages the attraction and hosting of major one-time, or infrequently recurring, national and international events in Ontario. Every dollar invested through Celebrate Ontario results in almost $21 of visitor spending. Tourism supports nearly 390,000 jobs and generates over $34 billion of economic activity in Ontario.

Reality of human trafficking (Continued from Front) Conrad explained that kids are not necessarily “tricked” online to meet with abusers. In a lot of cases they know the abuser is older, but they have manipulated their victim into trusting them, even beleiving that they are in a relationship. “They target kids who appear to be looking for attention and complements,” she said. “What can you do? I don’t have the answers, but I do have tips and strategies,” said Conrad. She advised parents to monitor their kids’ social media accounts and set privacy settings. Parents have every right to know kids’ passwords and check devices once in a while. “The less time on social media the better, but we know that’s not realistic. “You are the parent. You set the rules.” MPP Nicholls reminded everyone of #ProjectONroute being held on July 30 at all ONroute locations at 9:20 a.m. for one hour. #ProjectONroute is a presentation to raise awreness about human trafficking on World Day Against Trafficking. Over 60% of all human trafficking in Canada is initiated along the 400 series highways.

WHEATLEY – The 2019 Summer Concert Series at Two Creeks Conservation Area begins this coming Sunday, June 2. This regular Sunday evening event has become a family favourite and draws an audience from across the region. Concerts begin with an opening act at 6:00 p.m., followed by the main attraction taking to the stage at 6:30 p.m. Performances are held on the Weil Stage – a natural outdoor amphitheatre – and in case of inclement weather, the show moves to the covered pavilion. Admission is free; however, a hat is passed for donations to help offset the cost of the performers and the maintenance of this beautiful conservation area. The June 2 opening act is the young and talented singer-songwriter Kalle Nissila. Following Kalle are Wheatley's own, The Wednesdays – Terry Lobzun, Mike Authier, Wayne Gradwell and Kirt Pulley – who have been performing their mix of blues, rock, country and some originals locally for over 20 years. Band spokesman Terry Lobzun describes themselves as being a music collective that "do what we do to keep classic music alive." So bring your blankets or lawn chairs and enjoy a music-filled evening at Two Creeks Conservation Area, just 1 km north of the village of Wheatley on Kent Rd. 1.

Love and miss you, Diane, Perry and family, Gene, Pam and family, Tal

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. All we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we will never part. God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts. A million times we’ve wanted you, A million times we cried. If love could only have saved you, You never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. For a part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington District Chamber of Commerce is stepping up its game and becoming more vocal about local and regional issues. Representatives from the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce attended the Ontario Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting recently in Musoka. This was the first time that Leamington was represented at the AGM. “We’re really trying to make our membership stronger – stronger together,” said Leamington Chamber General Manager Wendy Parsons. In fact, Leamington was one of the co-sponsors of a resolution for changes to alcohol retail in Ontario. The resolution addressed the following key issues: • eliminating the 35% import tax; • eliminating the 6.1% retail store tax on domestically produced wine; and • ensuring direct delivery of all Ontario wine to new retail opportunities. The resolution, initiated by the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce, was co-sponsored by the Leamington Chamber of Commerce, Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce, Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce, and Grimsby Chamber of Commerce. The resolution received 100% support from the Ontario Chamber of Commerce delegates. The issue addresses in the resolution states: Overly strict and unfair regulations on the sale and distribution of wine in Ontario are hindering profit for small businesses and rural communities. By imposing an import tax of 35% and an additional retail store tax of 6.1% on domestically produced wine, it deters competition as consumers will choose to purchase imported foreign brands at a lesser price. Previous taxes in the form of wine markups have only made it more difficult for the grape and wine industry to grow. The resolution also states: Ontario is already one of the most open wine jurisdictions in the world. At the LCBO, Ontario wines hold only a 24% market share. Other wine producing nations around the world dominate their own market. Spain, South Africa, Argentina and Chile each own over 90% of their domestic market. Italy owns over 80%, Australia over 75%, the USA over 60% and even Russia is at 50% ownership of their own market. Major wine producing countries such as Spain, Italy, France, America and Australia provide hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies particularly for marketing abroad. These subsidies are often directed by the foreign wineries at maintaining and growing market share in Canada and Ontario. Each bottle of Ontario wine drives $98.20 in economic impact to the province. By supporting 100% Ontario wines, the government would be provided with an increased revenue of $10 million per year beginning in 2020. This would allow Ontario wineries and grape growers to create more jobs in rural Ontario, keep protecting the Greenbelt and continuously invest in the Ontario economy. The Leamington Chamber recently welcomed a new president in Jen Dawson, Ives Insurance; vice president Donna LaPointe, Leamington Family Health Team; and treasurer Curtis Labute, BDC. “I’m very excited with the new Board members and executive,” stated Parsons.

Cougarbotics wins international award By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The FIRST Lego League ‘season’ of competition ended on a high note for the team representing Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School. The CCCMS team, dubbed Cougarbotics, qualified to compete at the global level after placing second at the Western Provincials in Waterloo in February of this year. Each of the top three teams from that competition was granted advancement to a different international event, where the first-place team moved on to a competition in Detroit. Cougarbotics, made up of six Grade 7 and four Grade 8 CCCMS students, presented their innovation H2GO, a portable capsule allowing astronauts to shower in space while being limited to four litres of water for hygiene purposes during space missions. The invention allows for a 100 per cent water recollection rate and honours the 2019 First Lego League theme of “Into Orbit.” At the FIRST Lego League (FLL) Razorback Invitational hosted by the University of Arkansas May 16-19, Cougarbotics won the Presentation Award. The award represented one of the nine categories each of the roughly 80 participating teams was judged on towards their final scores. Although category winners and the top three overall teams were the only rankings revealed upon the completion of the four-day

tournament, CCCMS teacher coach David Kostanjevec believes Cougarbotics finished within the sixth- to 20th-place bracket. “We performed really, really well,” he said. “The competition was incredibly stiff. Every team there was top notch, especially some from the Eastern countries.” In addition to winning the Presentation award, Cougarbotics was called back for a second round in innovation by the event’s panel of judges. The format of the competition was similar to the regional event Cougarbotics won at St. Clair College in December of last year and the Western Provincials at the University of Waterloo in February. Kostanjevec noted that there were more performance runs at the international level, as well as an “Alliance Event” where teams were paired with entries from another country. Cougarbotics joined a team from China for the more leisurely robotics event, which did not count towards each team’s final score. The CCCMS group was one of two Canadian teams — the other representing a Toronto school — while others made the trip from countries including South Korea, Brazil, China, Israel and an assortment of schools from across the United States. Cougarbotics included students Lucas Makhlouf, Tyson Antunes, Matthew Preston, and Dante Mastronardi overseeing the robotics duties of the team

as well as Alexa Kenneth, Raegan Woodiwiss, Daesa Minaudo, Charbel Tawil, Charlie Liebrock and Vanessa Jacobs looking after the development of H2GO. “Being able to meet other teams from around the world was the biggest reason I enjoyed being there,” explained Minaudo. “I think the tournament will really help me with skills I use in the future, especially with balancing my schedule.” “It was extremely well organized,” added Makhlouf. “The coordinators did an excellent job. This is something I might pursue either in robotics or to be an engineer. It was great meeting other people from machinists to astronauts.”

The event is held as part of Community Living Month in Ontario with the theme “I’m All In” being featured. Essex County Warden Gary McNamara encouraged municipalities to hire people with intellectual disabilities and challenged them to take another look at those individuals. “We need to be better in our own municipal governments,” said McNamara. “We need to take it up a notch.” One organization that has hired a person with an intellectual disability is the Amherstburg Fire Department. Chief Bruce Montone announced the hiring of Max Vigneux to work at the department, noting the department is “so very, very proud to introduce this person to the emergency response profession.” Montone, who is also a board member with Community Living Windsor, encouraged other employers, municipalities and emergency services to follow suit. “I truly want our entire world to be ‘all in,’ to be inclusive,” said Montone. “To the potential employers in the room, employing people with a disability does result in a better bottom line for you.” Montone said that employees with disabilities are loyal and safe, and stated that they also have the passion for their work. “They are capable and this is why I’m ‘all in,’” said Montone. It is “all about getting the right person for the right job,”

he added, and that there needs to be a societal change so that more people and businesses recognize the value of hiring people with intellectual disabilities. Marc Wybenga from the South Essex Community Council (SECC) also pointed out the value of hiring those with intellectual disabilities, noting SECC works with CLEC and that CLEC needs more community partners like SECC. “Community Living helps get the job done but also helps you promote more inclusive communities,” said Wybenga. Christine Richer and Chad Sutherland, from Ronald McDonald House and the University of Windsor’s Department of Kinesiology, also promoted inclusion through their presentations. Richer noted volunteers from CLEC take pride in their work at Ronald McDonald House and have their regular routines. She noted volunteers have become their “regulars” and they are “respectful of people in the house” including staff and other volunteers. Sutherland, also a board member with CLEC, helped create “Fit Together,” an exercise program geared towards those with intellectual disabilities. He noted that once people left that program, they were more willing to go out into the community as many joined gyms, Zumba classes and other programs. He noted that a manual is also being created to help others create similar “Fit Together” programs across Ontario, Canada and the world.

GECDSB releases School Climate Survey results ESSEX COUNTY – The Greater Essex County District School Board reports that there was improved participation in the 2019 GECDSB School Climate Survey with more students, staff and parents/guardians taking part than in the 2017 survey.

This bi-annual examination helps inform decisions at the school and board level to promote safety, equity, inclusion, positive relationships and well-being. Some of the data realized from the surveys includes: • 90% of all students feel welcome at their schools,

• 81% of all students have not experienced bullying, • 44% of students feel they worry too much, • 29% of students spend five or more hours on electronic devices on school days, • 11% of students report they use electronic devices

+8 hours, • 27% of students are getting the required amount of sleep each night. A synopsis of the results has been posted on the GECDSB website at www. publicboard.ca and each school will have a report on its own website.

Our sympathy is extended to Pauli’s family. Our thoughts are with Florence Willan, Margaret Dodman, Clarence Janisse, Jamie Armstrong, Olga D., Tom C., Jon G. and Terry Shanks. Catching up with the birthday celebrants, best wishes

to: Queen Elizabeth II (93), on April 21, Marlene Shanks on May 13, Bill Merritt on May TALBOT STREET 17, Mary Jane AND EAST OF Farquarson on May 23, Wash- TOWN ington Dawson Shelley Craig on May 25, Annette Skillings on May 28, Sharon Campbell-Rayment on May 29, and Brian Authier on June 3. Tom and Shelley Craig are proud of their granddaugher, Claire Newman, who graduated with a Masters in Genetic Counselling. Shelley was honoured to be present for the ceremony at Beaver College in Philadelphia, PA. Claire has accepted a position with Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, situating her within visiting range of her grandparents. The old part of Philly was picturesque with treed squares and parks in the midst of old, regal colonial buildings, one of which housed the Liberty Bell. The Craigs are also proud of Claire’s brother Liam, who graduated in Civil Engineering from Western and invited them to his grad in June. Unfortunately, he made arrangements for a road trip, forgetting that it was at the same time as his graduation. So I guess we won’t be expected to attend.

From left to right, Wheatley Lioness members Judy Malott and Lorna Bell and Chatham-Kent Public Library librarian Amy Osborne reveal new additions to the Wheatley branch of the CKPL Wednesday, May 22 in support of the municipality-wide Literary Angels Program. Eighteen new books of various adult fiction genres in large and regular print were purchased with a $500 donation from the Wheatley Lioness Club, which raised the money through bingos hosted by Chance’s Gaming Lounge in Leamington. In total, the Wheatley Lioness group has donated $11,000 to various charitable and non-profit groups through bingo revenues. The organization has also donated to the Summer Reading Program at the Wheatley CKPL branch for the past several years. Registration for this year’s Summer Reading Program will take place at most CKPL locations — including Wheatley’s — Saturday, June 22. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Wheatley Lioness donations total $11,000 WHEATLEY – Through volunteer hours at Chances Gaming Lounge in Leamington, the 22 members of the Wheatley Lioness Club were each given the opportunity to designate a charity of their choice to be the recipient of a $500 donation. Wheatley Lioness were very pleased to be able to give a total of $11,000 to the following: John McGivney Children’s Centre; Crohn’s and Colitis Ontario; Diabetes Ontario (2); Lung Association of Ontario; Chatham-

Kent Library; Changing Lives Together Foundation, Cardiac Wellness Program, Windsor; Children’s Treatment Centre of ChathamKent; A Life Worth Living, Windsor; The Salvation Army; Erie Shores Hospice, Leamington; Chatham-Kent Hospice; Community Living Chatham-Kent; Eyes Right; Wheatley Food Bank (2); Heart and Stroke Foundation, Windsor (2); Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Windsor-Essex; Pet and Wildlife Rescue, Chatham-

Kent; Essex Youth Centre, Bryerswood Youth Camp; and Mental Health Connections, Windsor. Wheatley Lioness also provides support to several other organizations and programs through annually budgeted donations: The Meadows of Wheatley, Wheatley Food Bank, The Salvation Army, Jesse’s Journey, Lions Foundation of Canada, Tiny Tots Halloween, Effective Speaking, Diabetes, Remembrance Day - Wheatley Legion Br.

324, Erie Shores Continuing Care, Eyes, Right, Community Living Windsor-Essex, Community Living Chatham-Kent, Tactile Tales, Kids Help Phone, Skate Wheatley, Wheatley Horticultural Society, Wheatley Area Minor Soccer, Two Creeks Conservation Area, Lions Home For the Deaf, CNIB, Building Bridges - ACCESS, C-K Library Summer Reading Program, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, $1,000 bursaries to graduating students at

Cardinal Carter Secondary School, Leamington District Secondary School and Tilbury District High School, Spina Bifida Walk, Leader Dogs, East Mersea Public School Graduation, and Children’s Christmas, Wheatley. In addition to the financial donations, the Wheatley Lioness Club annually hosts the Graduation Dinner for Grade 8s at Wheatley Area Public School each year and also supplies free lunch to every student at the school

on Track & Field Day. Although it took awhile to gather the $11,000 surplus while still honouring their budgeted donations, the Lioness were able to offer support to an additional 22 beneficiaries. The Wheatley Lioness recently welcomed a few new members, but in order to keep doing their good deeds they are always looking for more new members and fresh ideas. All interested ladies are invited to help keep the club alive.

Games on the Move coordinator Chris Vennettilli looks on as Anthony Vieira plays Minecraft while Anthony’s sister Sabrina Vieira plays Mario Kart during a four-hour stop by the Windsorbased company at Tim Hortons on Erie Street South in Leamington Sunday, May 26. Games on the Move was scheduled as a predecessor to this year’s Canada-wide Camp Day, to take place Wednesday, June 5. On that day, all coffee sales from Tim Hortons locations in Canada and the United States will go towards Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, which send youths 12 to 16 years of age from disadvantaged families to week-long camping excursions throughout the two nations. Games on the Move, available for birthday parties, school functions and fundraisers, has made several appearances in Leamington. The 30-foot mobile trailer includes five large indoor screens and another two on the unit’s exterior for up to 28 players to engage in their favourite video games simultaneously. As Camp Day events can be scheduled up to 10 days prior to the annual date, the Erie Street South Leamington Tim Hortons raised money for the Foundation camps by charging $10 per youth and $12 per adult per 30 minutes of playing time.

Students from South Shore Christian School present a cheque of $2,907 to Little Hands Kids For A Cause prior to the sixth annual South Shore 5K/10K at Point Pelee National Park’s Visitor Centre Saturday, May 25. With last-minute donations, the amount was increased to over $3,000. Although the final total raised through the event had not yet been tabulated by press deadline, coordinator Sharon Arthurs-Pepper explained that last year’s mark of $50,000 has been exceeded.

Nasty weather didn’t follow through on its commitment, but supporters of a local Christian school and its charitable partner certainly remained dedicated to theirs. South Shore Christian School’s sixth annual South Shore 5K/10K — formerly known as the South Shore Spring Sprint — drew a sizeable crowd in support of both the school itself and the locally created and organized Little Hands Kids For A Cause. Once registration opened on the morning of the event Saturday, May 25, a sum of 307 entries had signed up for the fundraiser online. Others waited out the weather and registered on the day of the event, bringing the head count to roughly the same as the 325 who took part last year. Although proceeds were still being tabulated earlier this week, South Shore 5K/10K organizer and South Shore Christian School supply teacher Sharon Arthurs-Pepper explained that this year’s event will surpass 2018’s total of about $50,000. Initially, South Shore students presented a cheque of $2,907 to Little Hands Kids For A Cause, but with late donations, the contribution eclipsed the $3,000 mark. “It means a lot to us,” explained Little Hands director Aimee Omstead. “There are a lot of expenses that these families incur while

they’re in the hospitals. One hundred per cent of what we raise goes to these families — we do everything we can.” Presently, there are between 50 and 60 Little Hands families with children in treatment and/or in hospital, known by the organization as ‘Heroes’. Those able to attend the South Shore fundraiser performed a pre-run Heroes’ Walk in honour of the 10 local youths supported by the organization who have since passed away — known as Super Heroes — as a result

of those illnesses. Arthurs-Pepper explained that much of the annual event’s success can be traced to local organizations and businesses who’ve stepped forward with contributions. “The business sponsors are all very generous,” she noted. “We couldn’t have this event be so successful without them.”

The South Shore 5K/10K is also backed by a team of about 70 volunteers including the school’s staff, students and their family members. Sponsor recruitment begins in January with online registration opening shortly afterwards. Although the school hosts other yearly fundraisers including an autumn auction and dinner as well as chocolate bar and sausage sales, the run is its biggest community-based funding generator. This year marks the third for the run/walk to be hosted by Point Pelee National Park, as the event was launched in 2014 along the Leamington Municipal Marina promenade. Trophies and plaques are awarded to the top three finishers in male and female age categories of 10 and under, 11 to 15 and 16 and over. Overall winners, as recorded by Walkers and Runners Around the County of Essex (W.R.A.C.E.), were as follows: • Walkers, female — Helen Teichroeb (Leamington), 42:56.6; • Walkers, male — Pete Reimer (Wheatley), 42:58.8; • 5K runners, female — Bianca Grossi (Kingsville), 20:08.1; • 5K runners, male — Owen Peters (Thedford), 17:06.0; • 10K runners, female — Chantelle Peters (Thedford), 42:27.6; • 10K runners, male — Ricky Nepomuceno (Windsor), 34:00.3.

TT senior golfers tackle the course By Bob McLean

Hundreds enjoy KDHS Auto Expo KINGSVILLE – Hundreds of car enthusiasts descended on Kingsville District High School on Friday, May 17 for the 2019 KDHS Auto Expo. Organized by Gord Osborne, transportation technology teacher, the car show featured about 200 vehicles from throughout Southwestern Ontario, from muscle cars to dragsters, hot rods to classics and brand new vehicles. Osborne said this was his 11th year to hold the car show at KDHS in his 11 years teaching there. Not only was it a chance for car enthusiasts to show off their vehicles, it was also a chance to raise food and funds for the Kingsville Food Bank. Osborne also handed out awards to six of the vehicle owners, voted on by his students. (Southpoint Sun Photos)

WHEATLEY – On Tuesday, May 21 there were 56 enthusiastic seniors who participated in league play at Talbot Trail Golf Course. Tuesday was warmer, drier and less breezy, and members were able to use the 90º rule for the carts, staying on the cart paths for #4 and #8. Derek and his outside workers have done a fantastic job on the course. Bob Freure hit a magnificent shot on #9 to win the closest to the pin. Terry Bee knocked in a 20-footer to earn the long putt victory. Starting in June, the age groupings will be used to report the scores. Thanks are extended to Carl Robinson for donating a box of brand new Taylor Made balls. Carl has contributed golf balls many

league welcomed three new players: Dave Dibbley, Paul J. Brown and Gary Lee. There are now 69 seniors signed up, but more past and future players are anticipated to sign in as the weather warms up. Wiz did a wonderful job barbecuing the hamburgers and sausages. Members encourage even more players to socialize with their league friends with a beverage and some food after their golf. Bummy, the negotiator, has arranged an excursion to Blenheim on Friday, June 14. The first tee time is 9:30 and up to 40 golfers can sign up to enjoy the day.

It won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone that Dutchy ended up with the day’s terrific low score of 38. He was closely followed by the outstanding 40s fired by Joe Drummond and Bill Ward. Newcomer Shannon Wiper produced an excellent 41. Others who achieved scores of 45 or less were Mike Wright, Arkey and Ron McCracken. Very commendable 46s were shot by Joe Vertel, Vic Reynaert and Gerry van Deven. Two of the league’s super seniors, Murray Cascadden and Scotty Westrop, achieved spectacular scores of 49 and 50 respectively. The TT senior men’s

When he’s not napping or playing he enjoys your company and being pet. He isn’t fond of being picked up and absolutely does not like his tail touched so isn’t suited to a home with small children.

WORD SCRAMBLE

An email arrived from Peter Mernagh, a retired school teacher and principal in the Niagara area. He bought a red 1960 Ford Zephyr from a friend around 1966. It was a four-door sedan with a sixcylinder with “three-speed on the tree” but not running. “After changing some electrical components, we eventually found the problem was a battery cable. Now up and running, the car burned a lot of oil and would often get stuck in second gear. This meant getting out of the car and pulling on the shifting rods. This seemed to happen only when it rained. “The car had a fantastic heater and was very peppy. The clutch was hydraulic and a few times air would get into the line. I would crawl underneath and have someone pump the clutch until the problem was resolved. “I made a few trips with it to Niagara Falls, NY, to camp at the drag strip that operated there. “I owned the car for a year or so and sold it to a friend
