LAC, Parks Canada join forces in art program By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Some of the most inspiring scenes from the great outdoors have been duplicated in various formats and brought indoors for art lovers to enjoy. Through a new and unique program at Point Pelee National Park, Parks Canada and the Leamington Arts Centre have teamed up to reveal the works spawned from an artistic opportunity dubbed Artists In Residence. The five-day residency program took place June 20 to 25 within ‘The Tip of Canada’, offering six chosen artists from across Ontario housing at the A-frame cabins known as the oTENTiks while they explored the national park for inspiration. In response to announcing the program, more than 400 artists representing various mediums and stages of experience submitted applications to take part in Artists In Residence, including some from the United States. Six artists were chosen after submissions of previous works were received by representatives of Parks Canada. “It was a great chance for them to try something new,” explained Leamington Arts Centre programming and curatorial assistant Sophie Hinch. “There’s inspiration all over the park every day, so it’s an opportunity for experimentation for sure.” Representatives of the LAC, including Hinch and
curator Chad Riley, worked with Parks Canada partnering and engagement officer for Southwestern Ontario Karen Raymond as the works created in the Camp Henry oTENTiks were later brought to the Arts Centre for an exhibit that began August 27 and concludes September 21. The exhibit’s official opening took place Friday, Sept. 6 to coincide with the nearby monthly Mill Street Market. “You can really see how the park has inspired them,” Raymond said upon being granted the opportunity to view the 14 combined works during the official opening. “The reception we’ve received from the artist community has been phenomenal. It’s been a great experience and the artists have been fantastic.” The artists selected for the program include Jerry Campbell of Paris, Ont., Sheri Cappa of London, Ont., Alyson Collard Thomas of Essex, Christian Chapman of Fort William First Nation, Peg Dunnem of Stratford and Josue Martinez of Windsor. Each artist created from one to five works relating to Artists In Residence, working in mediums ranging from photography to watercolours and sculptures. Some completed rough sketches of their creations while at the oTENTiks and then finished the final piece after returning home. For anyone who misses the exhibit at the LAC, the Pelee-inspired works of the six selected artists will again be on display for the annual Art at the oTENTiks event Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20.

Festival of Guest Nations this Sunday Last minute donation keeps festival alive By Sheila McBrayne
LEAMINGTON – The Festival of Guest Nations is slated for Sunday, September 15 at Seacliff Park. This family-friendly community celebration of culture, music and food was in jeopardy this year because of a lack of funding. Board member Patty Kristy and Board Chair Martin Varales approached Peter Quiring of Nature Fresh, who not only met with them but also donated $10,000 to sponsor the festival. Quiring also agreed to pay $10,000 a year to help the Migrant Worker Community Program through his other business, South Essex Fabrication, and have one of his workers sit on the board. “This means a lot. We were very tight. This really helps to finish the year,” said Varales. “It’s really generous of Peter and his team to support the program like this,” he added. The Migrant Worker Community Program (MWCP) was established in 2002, with the objective to provide a more positive balance to the life of the migrant worker by offering social, recreational and communication opportunities while building cultural bridges with the host community. The program operates with a 12-member volunteer Board and two part-time employees. One of the purposes of
the MWCP is to serve as a coordinating body for consulate outreach services, health care providers, education service providers, police service and other organizations that provide services to the migrant worker. MWCP serves as a resource centre for social, cultural, recreational and financial
“This means a lot. We were very tight. This really helps to finish the year.” – MartinVarales.
information and advice for the migrant worker. MWCP assists migrant workers to adjust to their environment by creating, planning, organizing and implementing social, cultural, and recreational and communications programs to benefit the migrant worker and the public. Approximately 10,000 migrant workers are in the Leamington/Kingsville area, making up about onefifth of the local population during the farming season. This is more concentrated in Leamington. MWCP is the only organization that offers these services to migrant workers. They have nowhere else to turn for assistance. “When people come and settle in,
there’s not any program supported by the government for the workers,” said Varales. The MWCP is supported with funds from the Municipality of Leamington, Municipality of Kingsville, the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetables Growers (OGVG), donations from business, growers, farms and the community. The yearly operating budget is approximately $100,000. The Festival of Guest Nations being held at Seacliff Park on Sunday, September 15 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. is an opportunity for workers and the community to celebrate the nations who live here. “We want to integrate and make people feel welcome. A lot of people don’t realize the economic impact to the community – about $50-million a year. They support this area,” said Varales. The festival is free to the public. Guest Nations include Caribbean, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Philippines and more.

South Point Kite Festival coming to Leamington LEAMINGTON – Leamington’s Recreation Complex was swarmed by giant Monarch butterflies last week, in the largest grouping of mammoth-sized Monarchs ever recorded. Actually, they were Monarch kites. Monarch activist George Paisiovich, who previously engaged MPPs and OMAFRA a decade ago to get the provincial government to delist the milkweed as a noxious weed, thereby helping to protect the butterflies from the senseless large scale destruction that was taking place, said that this group of Monarchs is unique in the world and he is certain they are a breed which originated in Indonesia. Paisiovich said he is certain because he had the Monarch butterfly kites made for him by a master kite-making family in Indonesia for his passion for kiting and to promote protection of the Monarch butterfly. The Monarch kites came out to help draw attention to the first South Point International Kite Festival, October 5 and 6 at the Leamington Soccer Complex west of Wheatley and just east of Leamington. The festival will feature giant whales, octopuses and kites over 100-feet, two sets of international synchronized stunt kite teams, amazing custom-made single line kites, a family friendly flying field, a Saturday night LED kite fly from 7–9 p.m., and a special Canadian Heroes tribute on Sunday at 11 a.m. There will also be face painting and other activities. The event is a free, donation-based initiative supported by local enthusiasts. More information can be found on Facebook at: South Point International Kite Festival https://www.facebook.com/events/2417585761636157/ Last year the first ever Wheatley Kite Festival was held in June at Wheatley Public School and the Arena grounds. This year’s festival has moved to the wide open spaces at Leamington Soccer Complex on Mersea Road 12 and is being held in the fall.

Tiessen Foundation donates more than $30,000 By Bryan Jessop
Another celebration has led to another round of significant contributions in the Leamington area. The HL Tiessen Foundation divided $30,500 between four local organizations after receiving donations from guests at another milestone event for the Tiessen family. On July 25 of this year at Oxley Estate Winery, Linda Tiessen — the foundation’s president since it formed in February of 2018 — was congratulated upon her retirement as administrator at the Leamington Mennonite Home. Instead of gifts, Tiessen requested contributions toward the HL Tiessen Foundation that were “We exist to improve more recently diand enhance the vided between this quality of life in year’s recipients Leamington. We want — UMEI Christo make a direct tian High School, impact on people the Southwestern here.” Ontario Gleaners, — Linda Tiessen The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource Centre and the Leamington Mennonite Home. In total, the gathering of about 200 guests gave approximately $20,000 while the Foundation chipped in with the remaining $10,000 to distribute between the four organizations. “We exist to improve and enhance the quality of life in Leamington,” Linda explained. “We want to make a direct impact on people here. We’ve been here our entire lives — our careers are here, our parents, children, grandchildren. We’re really grateful for our community. It gives back in so many different ways — not just financially, but also by being able to serve.” Linda Tiessen’s professional career began in 1978 as the principal of UMEI, where she remained until 1992. From 1992 to 1998, she served as the executive director of the South Essex Community Council (SECC). For the past 21 years, she served as the administrator of the Leamington Mennonite Home. She is currently transitioning from the position, which is being filled by Jeff Konrad. Last year, the HL Tiessen Foundation was formed in June in preparation of the 40th anniversary celebration of Tiessen Financial.

The contribution, collected as donations from guests during Linda Tiessen’s retirement party in late July, was split evenly between the four local organizations. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
The not-for-profit organization can issue donation receipts and is represented by Linda as president, Hugo, Elizabeth Campbell and Glenn Sellick as board members, Irene Collard as secretary treasurer and Greg Tiessen as vice president. Founded by Linda’s husband Hugo Tiessen in 1978, Tiessen Financial has operated out of its current 243 Erie St. South location for about the past three decades. The 40th anniversary celebration held last year raised $20,000 — about a 50/50 split between the event’s guests and the newlyformed Foundation. Those funds were shared by five local organizations including the Erie Shores Health Foundation, Leamington Mennonite Home, UMEI, The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place and Southwestern Ontario Gleaners.
Next year, the Foundation plans to hold its third annual fundraiser as a social event where admission tickets will be sold at a yet-to-be-determined price as the primary method of fundraising. The organization is currently working on establishing a date, time and location for the charitable gathering.

Eighteen years later, we’re still affected by that day I suspect everyone reading this column remembers what they were doing or where they were when the first plane hit the World Trade Centre on that hazy Tuesday, some 18 years ago. Little did we know as the news flashed across the screen that it would become perhaps the most infamous day in history. Up until September 11, 2001, other days of infamy may have included the sinking of the Titanic, D-Day, or the Kennedy Assassination, depending on your age. For me, a child of the ’60s, I was not quite three years old when JFK was killed so my memory of that would be vague if anything at all. Later things come to mind, like the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, but I was really too young to understand. If you asked me what I was doing when news Mark Ribble of Elvis Presley’s death broke, I was playing croquet in the front yard at 9 Bruce Avenue in Leamington. A bunch of us were outside knocking those wooden balls through wickets when my mother came out the front door to give us the news. We gathered around a transistor radio on our front step to hear the details. Then came the Challenger disaster. I was working at the Leamington Post, and we were in the press room on that Tuesday morning, printing the weekly paper. One of the girls who worked in the inserting department got a call that the Space Shuttle had exploded. When I got home at lunch, I was glued to the TV. It was such a shocker that the usually dependable American space program could break down like that. On April 19, 1995, the Oklahoma City bombing took place. I was at my parents’ house, having stopped in for some reason that morning. We watched in horror as the first images of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building were broadcast, with people frantically searching for their children, who were trapped in a daycare area on the ground floor. That same year, OJ Simpson took off in that white Bronco and I remember standing in the living room watching CNN’s live coverage and wondering what had happened to this world, and how could a national hero be responsible for such a horrific act of violence. Those all preceded the events of September 11, 2001. I was working in the production room at the Post and a radio report said a small plane had crashed into the World Trade Centre. We immediately looked it up on CNN’s website, not expecting to see what we saw. Just as we loaded the site, the second plane hit the other tower during a live news report. Those events that day changed the world as we know it today. That’s the day that the terrorists took a good chunk out of the good guys. Pretty much every airport safety rule now stems from the 9/11 incident and that also spills over into regular everyday life. We can no longer cross the border with the ease we used to. I remember as a kid, my mom buying me new corduroy pants at K-Mart in the Detroit suburbs and having me put them on under my jeans. No simple task. Just so when we got to the border and were asked if we had anything to declare, we could say no. And my mom sat right beside me to make sure I stayed silent. We didn’t shop across the border often, but when we did it was like a secret mission. The border is so intimidating now that I don’t think I’d attempt to sneak anything across, for fear of major repercussions. Times sure have changed, and we have 19 deranged fanatics from the mid-east to thank for it.

The Bank Theatre to present Classical Benefit Concert
Backpack program correction
Familiar Favourites: Opera to Jazz
A story appearing on Page 5 of the Wednesday, Sept. 4 edition of The Southpoint Sun stated that Deer Run Church, Staples and the Leamington Salvation Army organized a backto-school backpack giveaway event held at the Salvation Army location Wednesday, Aug. 28. Although Deer Run Church was present at the Salvation Army’s Setterington Street location to distribute used clothing that day, it did not play a role in organizing the back-toschool backpack program. The yearly distribution of new school supplies is a joint effort between Staples and the Leamington Salvation Army. The Sun regrets the error.
LEAMINGTON – The Bank Theatre will present the sixth annual Classical Benefit Concert, Familiar Favourites: Opera to Jazz on Sunday, Sept. 22 at The Bank Theatre, 10 Erie Street South in Leamington. The concert begins at 3 p.m. with doors opening at 2 p.m. So you think you don’t like opera? Did you know that when Elvis Presley sang “It’s Now or Never” he was actually borrowing a melody from “O Solo Mio?” Freddie Mercury sang opera when he graced us with “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Cartoons feature operas as their Perogies are prepared as one of the menu choices at Little Foot Foods, one of the food vendors background music. Listen carefully during the next movie participating in the Mill Street Market Friday, Sept. 6. This month’s gathering featured approximately 40 vendors offering food, beverages, arts, crafts and other merchandise while live music car chase you watch. The background music will probably was performed along the north side of the closed off street. The next edition of the Mill Street Market is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 4 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event’s final instalment will be opera. Cathy Robinson, the singer for this concert, will sing two take place Saturday, Nov. 30 during the same hours as part of Leamington’s annual Santa Claus Parade. (Southpoint Sun Photos) Schubert numbers and two Spirituals. You will likely hear a favourite of yours. For Cathy, this is a homecoming. She was born and raised in Leamington. You may have sung with Cathy in the County Classic Chorale or in the Windsor Symphony chorus. Cathy took private voice lessons from Elly Dyck in Leamington, as well as from Marjorie Sparks of Toronto. Since moving to Toronto, Cathy has been a member of the Amadeus Choir for 27 years, and a member of the 20 voice Elmer Iseler Singers for 13 years. Both of these prestigious professional choirs have flourished under Conductor and Artistic Director, Lydia Adams. Though Cathy only started with private voice lessons after graduating from university — in math, not music! — she seems to have had an innate musical talent. This was evidenced when she would be found with her six cousins who sat quietly as mice while she entertained them with made-up songs for as long as they would listen. Cathy was four. Her ability to entertain was also evident at the Oshawa Kiwanis Music Festival when she received the Silver Cup given to the best singer at the festival. Audiences will be impressed by her powerful voice and touched by her lyrical qualities. In addition, there are two familiar artists. Pianist Helen Brown will again be accompanying both performers and will delight concertgoers with two solos of her own. She has chosen Chopin’s Polonaise in A-flat. “I chose it because it’s challenging and it’s Chopin, my Visitors enter a draw at the favourite composer,” said Brown. “That piece, at age 18, Canadian Cancer Society’s Taking Steps Against Breast made me fall in love with Chopin’s melodies, challenging Cancer booth during the WHEATLEY LEGION BRANCH 324, 27 ERIE ST.

ElderCollege offers parade of courses
Talbot Street and east of town
By Lloyd Brown-John, Director, ElderCollege
By Shelley Craig
Are you 55 or older? Looking for something interesting to do? Need to meet other people? Ready to learn a little something about a lot of things? ElderCollege’s array of over 80 short courses offered throughout Essex County, Windsor and even Chatham may be just that cup of tea you have been longing for. ElderCollege is a program of short, low cost courses on just about any topic imaginable. There are no tests, exams or assignments, just fun occasions to learn. ElderCollege courses are led by volunteers. People with interesting hobbies, professions or interests can develop a short course for ElderCollege. Organizers can even help you develop a course. Noted historian Ted Steele will explore “Hidden Stories of History” such as Dracula and Frankenstein and other deliciously obscure historical events. Diane Mulcaster will introduce the compassion care movement and the perplexing issue of loneliness. Both courses are at the Kingsville Community Centre on Division Road. A course at the Comber & District Museum offered by Mark McKinlay will explore “The Early History Comber and East Essex County.” Leamington Campus offers a wide array of courses, from one on Buddhism to a course on the vegetable greenhouse industry. Reid Funeral Home is offering a unique course titled “Final Tribute: Funerals from the 19th Century to the Present.” Gerry Hucko will take participants kayaking around Canada in his armchair travel course “Kayaking Here and There.” Point Pelee National Park will host a butterfly migration
course at its overnight course and an opportunity to enjoy the luxurious comforts of a Parks Canada oTENTik accommodation. A course on “The Amazing Tomato” and some of its 1,200+ varieties returns this fall. Held at Rijk Zwaan’s seed development greenhouse, the course will review how various varieties of tomatoes are developed. And finally, Paula’s Fish Place will host an ElderCollege course matching specialty dishes at Paula’s to some of Pelee Island Winery’s fine white wines. ElderCollege also offers a bus trip, “Secrets of Elgin County,” an exploration of the great Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-19, a discussion on a couple of former Canadian prime ministers, how to develop your own family history courses, back to basics computers, estate law and powers of attorney, and much more. Over 80 courses are offered. Membership in ElderCollege entitles you to take courses anywhere they are offered in Windsor, Leamington, Chatham or Amherstburg. You can register for courses anytime during the semester that runs until mid-December. Check out the “Buffet Course Option” for multiple course opportunities. Online registration opened on September 10 at www. uwindsor.ca/canterbury/eldercollege or call Laura at 519253-3000 ext. 4944 to register or to have a course catalogue sent to you.

WHEATLEY – On Sunday, Sept. 15, church services will resume at Talbot Street Community United Church after the August hiatus. Everyone is welcome to join the congregation and Pastor Eric Skillings at 11 a.m. We extend our sympathy to the family of the late Helen Cornies (late Henry) of Coatsworth. Over the holiday we missed a lot of birthdays and anniversaries. So let’s say that those birthdays didn’t count this year. Hissy-Fit File Nobody is happy about the closing of Talbot Trail (old #3) near the Coatsworth Road because of the erosion AGAIN. We churchgoers are annoyed, to say nothing of the people on the 2nd Concession having to put up with all the extra traffic on their gravel road. We have to travel the Wheatley-Tilbury Line fairly often and the traffic is as heavy as it was on Talbot Trail. It can’t be good for businesses. Roads that were recently resurfaced are being worn down by the extra transports etc. Having to go so many miles out of their way up to Middle Line (old #98/46) for non-locals who don’t know other possible cut-offs must be extremely frustrating also. The problem could have been fixed properly the first time it happened several years ago. Perhaps those responsible for the cheaper quick fix to just jig the road over a bit believed that the lake would decide to quit eroding the shoreline. Now it will be much more expensive and slower to happen while we wait for the 2020 study to be completed. Meanwhile, Happy Trails to you...
Household hazardous waste day is Sept. 14
65th Anniversary ~ September 11, 2019 ~
Gilbert & Mary Allsop
Gilbert met Mary (Hairsine) at a Valentine’s Day Dance in 1952 at the School of Business at the University of Western Ontario in London. It was instant attraction to one another that led to a lifelong relationship of dedication and love for each other. They were married on September 11, 1954 at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Walkerville and they lived in Windsor for 34 years. They are the proud parents of three children: Whitney (Susan Marshall), St. Thomas; Brian (Christina Kurtz), Essex; and Erin (Gary Pendergast), Clermont, FL. Loving grandparents of Brianne Allsop (Chad Wolters), Belle River; Corinne Allsop (Alex Hamilton), Windsor; Clairice Allsop, Windsor; Andrew Pendergast, Tampa, FL; and Sean Pendergast, Clermont, FL. Adoring greatgrandparents of Eberle Wolters, Belle River. In 1988, Gilbert retired from the Windsor Board of Education and Mary from the Federal Government and they have lived in London, St Marys, Port Charlotte, FL, and Auburndale, FL. In 2001 they moved and settled down in Kingsville, Ontario, and are currently living at Cross Winds Condominiums.
! To all who have attended our Monday Music Nights at the Leamington Marina over the past 10 summers, we cannot thank you enough for supporting us. Brad and I also thank Jim Chorba and Brian Bailey for joining us the past three years. The four of us appreciate your generous donations, cards and beautiful flowers on our final evening. Having your smiles and singing each week has been so rewarding! Although we’re giving up our Mondays at the Marina, we plan to continue sharing music with the retirement and nursing homes, hospital and hospice for many years going forward. We also give thanks to the Town of Leamington and the Marina staff for accommodating us and our followers. Again, thanks, and we wish continued happiness and good health to all of you. Keep on singing!! – Brad and Lynn Bailey

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE September 2019 Class Environmental Assessment for Lakeshore Transmission Stations Project Hydro One is progressing through the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) in support of the Lakeshore Transmission Stations Project, in the Town of Lakeshore. The project is needed to meet the growing electricity needs of southwestern Ontario and increase the capacity of the existing 230kV transmission system in Essex County. The project is subject to the “Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities” (Hydro One, 2016), in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. On June 26, 2019, Hydro One held a Community Information Centre (CIC) to provide the public with information on the project, including the Class EA process, study area, and the various alternatives for the new transformer stations. Based on research and consultation conducted to date, the preferred alternative for the project has been selected, which consists of a highvoltage switching station (SS) and a separate transformer station (TS). The map below shows the preferred alternative for the project.
Please join us for our upcoming second CIC to learn more about the Project and to speak with members of our project team. Please join us on: Tuesday, October 1, 2019 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Comber & District Community Centre 6211 McAllaster Street, Comber We welcome your comments and feedback. Contingent on the outcome of the Class EA process, construction could begin as early as mid - 2020 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. For more information If you have questions or would like any additional information about the project, please contact: Ani Bekmezian Community Relations T: 1-877-345-6799 E: Community.Relations@HydroOne.com www.HydroOne.com/Lakeshore

From left to right, Choi Yung Zahkung, Zai Seng Ing Zahkung, Nu Ra Zahkung, Zai Seng Tsin Zahkung and Bawk Nu (Nu Ra’s sister) became Canadian citizens at a ceremony at Point Pelee National Park. The newcomers were sponsored by Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee. (Submitted Photo)
LAERC-sponsored newcomers obtain Canadian citizenship LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee (LAERC) sponsored several newcomers from Myanmar and is very proud that they recently obtained their Canadian Citizenship. In June, a ceremony was held at Point Pelee National Park, where 48 people were presented with their Canadian citizenships, among them Nu Ra and her sister Bawk Nu, who arrived in Leamington in November of 2013, studied English to reach the required level of proficiency and this spring passed their citizenship tests. Since November 2017, with the passage of new Canadian legislation, parents who have permanent Resident Status in Canada may pay a fee and apply for Canadian citizenship for their children who have been in Canada for at least three years and are under 18 years of age. LAERC is equally proud of these youngsters who became Canadians at a ceremony in Windsor in August.
4,000 (and counting) Monarchs spotted at the Tip LEAMINGTON – Darlene Burgess of the Pelee Paradise Sanctuary Monarch Waystation at Point Pelee National Park counted 4,000 Monarchs at the Tip on the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 4. Monarchs clustered from just south of Sparrow Field, over the road at the Tip shuttle stop, the west path around the Dangerous Current sign (before and after the sign), two Hackberry trees near sign and on interior trees. Favourable north wind the next day saw them move out across the lake for their long migration journey of 4,800 km (3,000 miles) to Mexico. Over the weekend the number grew to more than 5,000 butterflies. Monarchs can travel between 80 to 160 km (50-100 miles) a day. It can take them up to two months to complete their journey.

KINGSVILLE – Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos recently toured Erie Shores HealthCare (ESHC) with its CEO Janice Dawson to get a firsthand look at the important work happening at a time when the Emergency Department is at its busiest. “The percentage of patients arriving at the Emergency Department in an ambulance has increased by 45 per cent,” said Dawson. “Our staff and physicians are doing an amazing job to not allow this significant increase in their workload impact the quality of care.” While the Town of Kingsville is an enthusiastic supporter of the planned mega hospital, it also recognizes the programs, resources and staff that make ESHC an indispensable asset to the area. “As we grow the community of Kingsville, one factor will be the services and programs we need here locally for residents to reflect the increasing population over the next five to 10 years,” said Mayor Santos. “We need to balance out what our community is calling for and the services we should be providing with the adequate funding to do so.” Erie Shores HealthCare has invested $1 million in additional front line resources and will continue to be a major player in healthcare for all of Essex County – providing Compassionate Care Close to Home. “We are here to stay, grow and invest in our staff, programs and resources,” said Dawson. “We support the new mega hospital and Erie Shores HealthCare continuing to be an integral pillar of health care across Essex County.”
Registration open for ERCF Bike Tour
ESSEX COUNTY – The Essex Region Conservation Foundation will welcome hundreds of cyclists to the “Place for Life” in late September for the Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour. The tour will once again begin and end at Mettawas Park in Kingsville. Building off the momentum of last year’s event, the Foundation is hoping to attract more local and regional organizations to enter corporate teams and take part in some friendly competition to raise funds to create a new community entrance along the Cypher Systems Group Greenway. “Last year, event participants raised nearly $25,000 to support trails in the Place for Life,” said Danielle Breault Stuebing, Director of Communications & Outreach. “This year, we’re aiming to reach a $35,000 goal in order to build a new community entrance along the Cypher Systems Group Greenway at County Rd. 15.” The top fundraising team will be recognized with a tree and plaque prominently featured at the new community entrance. This year’s event is Saturday, Sept. 28. Riders will be able to take in all the final sights of summer with the choice of five different routes catering to all skill levels. Road routes will range from approximately 60 km to 110 km, while Greenway riders can choose from a 15 km, 32 km or 60 km trail experience. The tour will conclude with a lakefront festival offering delicious local food offerings. Local bike shops and cycling groups will also be part of the celebration.

Dr. Gerald James Gorrell Dr. Gerald James Gorrell passed away at home from Amyloidosis on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 at the age of 75. Cherished husband of Janice (Byrne) for 41 years and the late Renee Morgan (1976). Father to Jamieson (Jasmine) of Nanaimo, BC; Carisa Gordon (Jeff) of Ottawa; and Danica of Leamington. Granddad to Ayla, Reed and Grant of Ottawa. Son of the late Pamela Bramble (UK) and the late Gerald Gorrell (TO). Son-in-law to the late Cletus and Frances Byrne (Tecumseh). Brother to the late Douglas (1998). Nephew of Mary Pagon, Toronto. Brother-in-law to Jim and Bernie Byrne, Mary Sue and Dick Caron, Dan Byrne (1991), Brenda and Dennis Marentette, Rosemary and Shaun MacNeil, and Diane Gorrell. Survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Jim was a retired Leamington physician in General Practice with an interest in Obstetrics and Paediatrics for 40 years. He was Chief of Paediatrics at LDMH for 12 years, a former member of the Essex County Medical Society, the South Essex Community Council and the Leamington Yacht Club. Dr. Gorrell was an “old-time doctor” who devoted all his time to his family and his patients, first at the Leamington Medical Centre then at Four Oaks Family Care. He was self-taught in computer technology and established one of the first electronic medical offices in Ontario. In his youth, he was an avid tennis player, a long distance runner and a long-distance cyclist. Retirement brought a new life as captain of his beloved boat, Tootles, upon which he and Jan enjoyed many long cruises together on Lake Erie and the waters around Florida. Tennis and cycling became fun pastimes once again, especially during his time in Florida. Dr. Gorrell demanded the best of himself and expected the same from his family, which is confirmed with the success they are enjoying in life. Jim will be greatly missed by his family, many former patients and friends in Essex County and Punta Gorda, Florida. Visitation and Funeral Service will be held at Reid’s Funeral Home. Details at www.reidfuneralhome.ca or by contacting the funeral home at 519-326-2631.

The Lakers Bantam Majors are OBA champions Labour Day weekend saw lots of action at the Kinsmen Diamonds as Leamington hosted the OBA ‘B’ Championships. Teams from all over the province were here to compete and there were many exciting nail-biters for all to enjoy. The Leamington Lakers Bantam Majors battled some tough competition throughout the weekend in the double loss elimination style tournament. Although they won their first two games quite handedly – 8-0 over Tillsonburg and 11-3 over St. Thomas – the scores truly don’t reflect how close and tense these games were. One or two big innings late in each of these games was all they needed to seal their fate and move on. Leamington was the only team to stay undefeated going into Sunday’s competition. The first game on Sunday saw the Lakers face the Woodstock Wranglers. It was a tight, low-scoring game which kept the crowd of hundreds hushed and anxious. The Wranglers started the scoring in the first with an early 2-0 lead. The Bantam Majors answered back with a run as first batter Riley Wiebe walked and then Jason Friesen smashed a triple and cashed in the RBI. Unfortunately, Woodstock didn’t let that deter them and they tacked on one more in the second to make it 3-1. With the Wranglers ace on the mound and great defense behind him, the score remained 3-1 the majority game. For the Lakers, Jason Friesen pitched five incredible shutout innings which included nine strikeouts. He was untouchable on the mound with catcher Curtis Chorba making all the right calls and keeping the pitcher in his zone. Finally, in the bottom of the sixth, the Lakers’ bats exploded as did the cheers from the fans. Riley Wiebe walked and Kanaan Gale hit a ground ball single to leave two on for Friesen, who then hit an RBI single and getting them within a run. Andrew Sleiman answered next with a monstrous triple off the first pitch to clear the bases and give the Lakers a 4-3 lead and ultimate victory which led them to the championship game. The championship was played against the St. Thomas Cardinals, a team the Lakers have faced one too many times in finals games of the past, only to come home shorthanded. This fact was not lost on them going into this game and they knew they would have a tough battle ahead. The game started a bit rocky as the Bantams found them(Continued on page 20)

Sharks preseason underway By Bryan Jessop
The process of preparing the Wheatley Omstead Sharks for the 2019-’20 season is now well underway. The local Stobbs Division Junior C hockey club has played three of its four pre-season exhibition games, including one at home and two on the road. The Wednesday, Sept. 4 home game ended in a 4-1 loss to the Amherstburg Admirals after Wheatley was outshot 36-21. The visitors struck twice in the opening frame to take a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Liam Sinasac cut Amherstburg’s lead in half about six-and-a-half minutes into the second, but the opposition answered roughly five minutes later to regain its two-goal cushion. The Admirals capped the scoring for the night with just under nine minutes to go in the third. “We only had a couple guys in the lineup who we know for sure are going to be here (for the regular season), so it got a little chaotic at times,” explained Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale. As of the September 4 game’s opening faceoff, the Sharks had signed only seven players to cards for the 2019-’20 campaign, including veterans. Rookies include Kingsville’s Jackson Ford as goalie, Colton Candido, 2002-born forward Devin St. Pierre and 2001-born forward Dan McClary. Another new addition for Wheatley is forward Lucas Poisson, who played for the Lakeshore Canadiens last season. Local talent will include defenseman and Leamington resident Ryan Wall — who played last season with the PJHL’s Thamesford Trojans — and fellow blueliner Tallas Smith of Ruthven. Over the past two seasons, Smith

Shannon Olson gave Wheatley its first lead with Carnevale the night’s only power play goal at about the three minute mark, although Blenheim made it 3-3 about two-and-ahalf minutes later. Olson struck again with roughly four-and-a-half minutes left on the clock to supply the game winner. Wheatley outshot the hosts 39-35 and went one for five with the man advantage while the Blades were zero for four. “We had no return players in that game, so it was a good opener for us,” Carnevale said. On Sunday, Sept. 8, the Sharks paid a visit to the Admirals and lost in a 6-1 final. Wheatley’s only goal was scored by Jordan Paquette, assisted by Sinasac. The exhibition schedule wraps up Wednesday, Sept. 11 in Wheatley with another tilt against the Blades. The opening faceoff will take place at 7:30 p.m. The Sharks’ 25th season kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 18 on home ice with a 7:30 p.m. start against the Dresden Kings.
The Lakers Bantam Majors are OBA champions (Conitinued from page 19) selves down 4-0 quickly in the third; however, their bats answered back in the top of the fourth. Sajan Brouwer led the offensive push with his first and very timely homer of the season well over the right field fence to bring the Lakers within a run and give some life back to the massive hometown crowd. The Lakers weren’t done yet. Brady Knelsen walked, which led to Matt Thomas’ single, and then soon after Derek Neufeld walked to load the bases. Next, a wild pitch advanced all the runners and tied the game. The lead did not last long, however, as the Cardinals scored two more in the bottom of the fifth to quickly deafen the loud and hopeful fans. It sat at 6-4 until the Lakers stepped up to the plate in their final at-bat of the game. The inning started with a hit batter and another quick walk. Kanaan Gale then prevailed with a huge two RBI single to left field allowing Lucas Ingratta and Wiebe to tie the game. The excitement and cheering from the fans was hard to ignore. The buzz of a win was back and the Lakers didn’t let it simmer. Patience at the plate with timely walks and another hit batter helped load the bases to walk Nathan Krahn and coincidentally walk in Gale, whose big hit started the inning’s scoring. The Lakers at bat came to a halt and now they just needed three more outs to achieve the title and that they did! Riley Wiebe threw only nine pitches in relief. First was a fly out to Lucas Penner in left field and then a hard ground ball to Sleiman at first, leaving the last out of the game for Wiebe with a line drive right up the middle to him. As Riley firmly secured the ball within his glove the team quickly cleared the bench and field to celebrate on the mound. The fans’ cheers were magical to witness and all sensed the pride and joy in their team’s win. Finally, an OBA title on home soil with a perfect weekend record! Coaches Dave Neufeld, Kevin Gale, Jake Neufeld and Ryan Wiper and the entire team and their families want to thank their Gold Sponsor Leamington Chrysler and Bronze Sponsor DJPJ Productions for their support this season. Another thank you goes to the Town of Leamington for keeping the diamonds in impeccable shape, not only last weekend but all season as well. Many teams commented on how lovely the diamonds are, but it is nice to be reminded and wonderful to be able to take pride in it. Also, a HUGE thank you goes out to the hundreds and hundreds of fans who were out all weekend cheering on their hometown team. It was truly a site to behold and the team is humbled by all the support they received. Go Lakers!

The Erie Shores Golf Club’s Proggers have now entered the final month of Progs for 2019. It’s hard to believe that September has ushered in a bit of cooler weather. Some golfers have started to wear an extra layer early in the morning. The winning team on September 3 ran away with a +30. The $10 winners were Fred Klassen, Scott Wilkinson, Greg Dunmore, Wayne Quinn, Mark Wisternoff, Ollie Mastronardi, Orest Hrynewich, Dan Musuronchan, Norm Beattie, Matt Dick, Neil Reimer, Ward Hutchins and Darcy Warren. First high plus for $20 was Mike Herbert at +12. Second high plus for $15 was Matt Dick at +9. Third high plus for $10 was Orest Hrynewich at +8. Each skin was worth $10: Dan Musuronchan #1, Ken Cobby #5, Neil Reimer #6 (eagle, net 2), Gary McRae #7, Wayne Wiseman #8, Mike Herbert #9, Jim Chobdra #10, Scott Wilkinson #13 and Mike Herbert #17. The snake found a new home with Gary McRae. I know Bill was sad to see it go. Speaking of Bill Conn, we noticed Bill tee off on #10 and walk to his ball, about 180 yards away. He hits his second shot and then starts walking back to the tee box. He was walking briskly and we wondered what was wrong. We asked if he was okay and he was. Bill just happened to forget that he ordered a cart for the back nine. Bill then saddled up his golf bag and into the distance he drove. Neil Reimer’s highlight was his eagle on #6. From about 60 yards out, Neil smacked his gap wedge. The ball knew exactly where to go and the flag stick snared it before the ball went too Marissa Pearce far. Nice shot, Mr. Reimer. Enjoy the next couple of weeks. The grand finale is October 1. Get your money in ASAP. You don’t want to be disappointed.

Kings start season with wins The Kingsville Kings have started the 2019-’20 campaign with a few ‘Aces’ up their sleeves. The Greater Metro Hockey League’s most southerly team kicked off the new regular season with two victories against the rival Windsor Aces — first on the road and then on home ice. Kingsville’s own Zachary Dillen did the honours of the first goal of the season less than three minutes into the Saturday match, followed by a Jan Novak tally to give the guest squad a 2-0 advantage after 20 minutes. Zachery Hartig pulled Windsor to within a goal in the second, but Pavel Svoboda buried his first of the season to regain the Kings’ two-goal lead. Svoboda struck again in the third and was followed up with a Vaclav Boguaj marker to make it 5-1 Kingsville. Scott Turgeon replied for the Aces, but Jan Sefl put the final mark on the scoresheet for the Kings. Kingsville outshot the hosts 56-31 as Marek Pavlas earned the win in net for the Saturday, Sept. 7 contest. The Kings’ home opener the following day ended in a 4-3 final. Parker Gee of the Aces scored the only goal of the first frame, but Dillen and Sefl replied in the second to give Kingsville the 2-1 lead. Gee and former Wheatley Shark Cameron Pickersgill put Windsor back in the lead, but Tyler Balok evened things up for the Kings with 92 seconds remaining in regulation. With 31 seconds left in overtime, Bryce Tracey notched the win for Kingsville. Roni Koskinen earned the win in goal for the Kings, who outshot their guests 51-28. The Kings’ next home game will be Sunday, Sept. 15 at 3 p.m. against the North York Renegades with a 3 p.m. opening faceoff.

Flyers start season with Showcase wins By Bryan Jessop
The Leamington Flyers have proven that basketball isn’t the only sport where a game can we won or lost in the final second. The Flyers kicked off the 2019-’20 season with a 4-3 regulation win against the St. Catharines Falcons in Pelham Saturday, Sept. 7. The game appeared destined for overtime, but with 00:01 showing on the third period clock, veteran Dylan Weston sent the game winner into the Falcons’ net with his team killing a penalty. For Leamington, the game ended on a stronger note than it started, as St. Catharines brought a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, starting with the contest’s only power play tally. Wyatt O’Neil brought the Flyers to within a goal in the second, but the Falcons regained the two-goal cushion with about five minutes to go. With the middle stanza’s clocking winding down to 11 seconds, Thomas Michaud brought Leamington back to within a goal.
Adam Jeffery, another veteran Flyers forward, tied the game with 7:48 to go in regulation. Weston’s game winner was his third point of the contest. Leamington outshot the Golden Horseshoe Conference powerhouse 32-20 and went zero for four on the man advantage while St. Catharines was one for three. Returning netminder Ryan Polidori registered the victory for the Flyers. Showcase Weekend competition didn’t look like it was going to get any easier for Leamington the next day, as the local GOJHL squad faced the defending Sutherland Cup champion Waterloo Siskins. This time, the Flyers wound up on the winning end of a 5-0 final to come home with a sum of four out of four possible points. Weston added his second of the weekend with the only goal of the first 20 minutes before Jeffery made it 2-0 on the power play. Weston added another shorthanded marker before former Strathroy Rocket Lucas Fancy established a four-goal lead for Leamington. In the third, Jacob Kalandyk chipped in with another shorthanded goal for the red and white as the game clock
ticked down to 2:20. Shots on goal were 30-25 favouring Leamington, who went one for two on the man advantage as Waterloo was held to zero for seven. Matthew Waite earned the shutout in net. The Flyers dropped their last pre-season game in a 7-6 double overtime decision Tuesday, Sept. 3 in Chatham despite outshooting the hosts 47-33. O’Neil scored three in a row for Leamington in the third while singles came from Jeffery, Cam Symons and Philip DeCresce. Both teams struggled on the penalty kill, as the Flyers were three for four on the power play while the Maroons went four for six. The Flyers’ Western Conference home opener will take place Thursday, Sept. 12 against the St. Thomas Stars with a 7:10 p.m. opening faceoff at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

Atom Minors start season with a shuthout The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Atom Minor Capitals started their 2019 hockey season the same way that they finished their OMHA championship season – with a convincing win. On Saturday, Sept. 7 the Capitals hosted the LaSalle Sabres to begin Bluewater League action. Southpoint came out flying, generating numerous scoring chances throughout the opening period, but it was not until the middle frame that they were able to get on the scoreboard. Owen Derksen corralled the puck in his own zone and skated it end to end, finishing by firing a low shot in far post to open the scoring. Two minutes later, Ben Liebrock found himself in the slot and unleashed a hard shot on net. The partially blocked shot found its way to the side of the net where Jonathan Recker slammed it into the open cage to increase the lead. A shift later, Recker grabbed the puck at centre, went wide on the defenseman, and after a nice move, slipped it past the goalie for another goal. A minute into the third, Charlie Ketler found Brayden Foster in the slot, who spun around and fired his shot on net. The rebound came to AJ Youssef who settled the puck and banged it home. With three to go, Recker moved the puck to Liebrock in the slot, who took the shot. LaSalle’s goalie made a glove save but the deflection went to Zack Bradley, who found the puck and ripped it in to complete the scoring in a well-played 5-0 win. Karly Franklin and Christian Papp combined to secure the shutout for the Capitals in their home opener win.

Lions ‘pass’ on football season Aspiring Leamington District Secondary School football players will have to spend another season on the sidelines. For the second consecutive year, LDSS will not be forming either a junior or senior football team for the upcoming Windsor Essex County Secondary School Athletic Association (WECSSAA) fall season. Jason Primeau, who has served as the team’s head coach for the past several seasons, has moved away from the area and is unable to return to the squad’s leadership role for the 2019 campaign. Tony Nurse, head of the LDSS athletic department, explained that the school was not able to recruit a certified coach to replace Primeau. Last season, the Lions intended to form a senior football team for WECSSAA’s Tier II 2A division, but early in the season, player numbers dropped to a point where LDSS could no longer field a team. The Lions finished with a 0-7 record, officially forfeiting the last six games against county rivals. Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics (OFSAA) regulations recommend that game-day rosters must have a minimum of 24 players to avoid an increased risk of injuries. Earlier in the decade, the Lions formed successful senior teams in WECSSAA’s developmental Arnott Division. In 2012-’13, LDSS finished with a 5-1 record to lead the five-team group and improved the following year to 6-0 for its most recent winning season. The Lions have not been the only team to struggle with player numbers and the recruitment of coaches. In the nearby Kent County Secondary School Athletic Association (KCSSAA) divisions, teams were forced to adapt a format of the game bringing only seven players onto the field at a time. Last year, the Blenheim Bobcats were accepted into the WECSSAA loop after the 1A school was left without full-roster competition in its own association. In 2017, the nearby Cardinal Carter Cougars — although still able to form a junior squad — did not field a senior team.

On Tuesday, September 3, Talbot Trail senior men’s golf had 68 enthusiastic participants for league play. With the weather and course conditions ideal, some low scores were produced. Ron McCracken became the long putt winner when he drained a 14-foot putt on #2. Winning closest to the pin on #9 was John Liddell. His magnificent shot ended up three feet from the cup. The 85y+ grouping achieved some inspiring results. Youthful Gerry Becigneul earned a masterful 46. Murray Cascadden shot an excellent 49, but he could have had much better. At least four times, Murray had putts edge the cup. Fred Takaki also played very well. In the 80-84y division, Mike Wright dazzled the field by shooting a spectacular 36. Walter Balsam and Pete Daudlin played very well as they earned inspiring scores of 46 and 47 respectively. Nifty 50 results
went to Neil Adamson and Ed Woelk. In the 70-79y grouping, Dutchy continued his brilliant play by firing a one under 35. Bobo achieved an excellent 37 to take second spot. Both Rick Thompson and Mike Getty produced terrific 41s. Doug Langlois and Ray la Pierre shot superb 42s. Solid 43s went to Tom Sasso, Al Matthews and Mac Hyatt. Gary Benninger shot a very commendable 44. Praiseworthy results of 45 were achieved by Ron McCracken, BW, Dave Dent and Schmitty. Noteworthy scores under 50 were earned by Pat Hill, Richard Humber, Joe Vrtel and Wayne Humber. Gus Brown and Don Willan achieved nifty 50s. Tom Dunn fired an excellent 38 to top the under 70 division. Gerry van Deven placed second with his terrific 39. Shooting a fantastic 40 was Fred Michano. Other impressive results were earned by the following players: Phil Humphries
and Steve Longeaway 41s; Shannon Wiper 42; Dave Omstead, John Liddell, Herb Reid and Randy Nash 43s. The amazing Wiz merited a commendable 45. Others who earned noteworthy results were Arkey, OV, Kevin Jordan, Bob Reid, Tim Stevenson, Randy Zeray and Fuzzy. The league’s favourite rough cutter, Lloyd Symons, produced a nifty 50. The Tilbury excursion is Sept. 23 and the final league scramble is Sept. 24. Ralph, an enthusiastic 82-year-old who enjoyed golf, recently went for a physical. The doctor saw Ralph two days later walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman. A day later, the doctor decided to call Ralph. “You’re doing great, aren’t you?” he said. Ralph replied, “I’m just doing what you said, Doc. Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.” The doctor said, “You misunderstood me. I said, you have a heart murmur… BE CAREFUL!”

ICE
2 years old - Give Ice a few minutes to chill before expecting her to show her true colours. You’ll see she’s a friendly independent young cat who enjoys attention as well as quiet time. She prefers you to toys and will barely sniff them before she’s back at your side looking to be pet. This Ice will melt your heart.
MOLEY 3 years old Bulldog Mix - Why hello, I’m Moley, but everyone calls me Momo. I may come off as a little shy and nervous, but give me a few minutes and soon you’ll have a face full of slobber! I walk fairly well on leash and love to play with toys. I would prefer to be the only animal in the home if that’s okay with you, I just do better on my own. If you’re willing to help me work on some things, I know I’ll make a great friend for you! Just wait and see!

also surround the fish pond, along with butterfly bushes. The sound of water cascading into the pond makes for a very relaxing setting. • 96 Bennie Ave. - Kathy Balkwill: The first thing that attracts the eye at Kathy’s home is the beautiful bed along the driveway. This bed has coleus as the centre, surrounded by marigolds, daisies and alyssum. Then the eye follows the bed to the front of the house to beautiful butterfly bushes and eventually ends at colourful window boxes. Kathy has lived here for 21 years and, like a true gardener, makes changes every year. • 86 Oak St. W. - Vince Orlando and Sherry Murray: As you drive onto this property, you are attracted to the beautiful white hydrangeas, hostas and day lilies planted among ornamental trees and which are the focal point in a bed surrounded by a curved driveway. Then your attention is drawn to the sound of water coming from a ball fountain under the window and surrounded by a hedge of neatly trimmed boxwood and yews. This beautifully landscaped property is complemented by attractive pots at the entrance to the house and garage. • 93 Danforth Ave.- Helena Sawatzky: You immediately notice this yard with the colourful plantings as you drive around the corner on Danforth. In the middle of the yard is a rock bed recently completed by Kathy that contains burning bushes, a red maple and red and white petunias. Can you just imagine what the colors will be like in the fall? Against the house are red cannas mixed with red and white petunias, marigolds grown from seed and red geraniums. On either side of the front door are two huge ferns that truly love it there.

1929 Graham-Paige for $50 Around 1951, Jim Ross and his older brother Larry were walking down Erie Street South in Leamington when they spotted an old car in a garage beside a house. They decided to take a closer look. The owner of the car saw the boys and came out of the house. His name was Walter Gerrard and he was the original owner of the car, a 1929 Graham-Paige Model 615 fourdoor sedan with four-on-theBill Sherk floor, hydraulic brakes and only 9,000 miles on the odometer. The car was sitting on cement blocks and the license plates had expired because Mr. Gerrard was no longer driving it. He offered to sell the car for $50 and the boys bought it. Jim was only 15 and his older brother Larry came up with the money. They put fresh gas into the car, installed the wheels and tires, and drove it a few blocks to their home on Morgan Avenue. The body was dark blue and the fenders were black. The
THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE
car was built like a tank and Jim says, “You could hit the fenders with a sledge hammer and you wouldn’t dent them.” The mohair interior was just like new and it had window blinds as original equipment. It also had a big wooden steering wheel and wooden spoke wheels. Eager to start driving it around, Jim immediately arranged to get his driver’s license from the local examiner who worked at Duke and Ternan, an auto parts store on Talbot Street East. The boys soon filled the car with their friends for drives around town and to Diana’s, a popular teen hangout. It was expensive to operate because it burned a lot of oil and, being as heavy as a Cadillac, it needed a lot of gas. On cold days, the boys filled the rad with water at home, drained the rad when they got to high school, then filled it up with water again for the drive home. Later on, they added Prestone anti-freeze. Larry installed sealed beam headlights inside the housings that held the big original headlights, and this was the only modification on this otherwise very original car.
