The future Leamington District Secondary School at Oak Street West is taking shape as the construction process progresses following an official groundbreaking ceremony from late May of this year. The architectural design of the building was conducted by Glos Associates Inc. while the general contractor overseeing the build is Rosati Construction Ltd. The $32 million school is slated for completion in time for the start of the 2017-18 school year. The current LDSS on Talbot Street West was built in 1953 to replace the structure built across the street 30 years earlier. (SUN Photo)
Union library rally reaches Leamington
By Bryan Jessop Representatives
and supporters of CUPE Local 2974 made it known that they are “sick” and tired of the lack of progress in the ongoing strike against the Essex County Library board. Well over 100 CUPE members from across the province converged along
the front of the Leamington branch of the Essex County Library in a gesture of solidarity with the 58 employees who at the time reached Day 68 in the strike. Those who attended included CUPE national president Mark Hancock, CUPE Ontario president Fred Hahn, Local 2974 unit chairperson
Lori Wightman, WindsorTecumseh MPP Percy Hatfield and Windsor West MPP Lisa Gretzky. Other NDP supporters for similar CUPE events have included Essex MPP Taras Natyshak and Essex MP Tracey Ramsey.
The Wednesday, Aug. 31 rally in Leamington began at the library on the corner of
John Street and Erie Street North and proceeded with a seven-minute march to the municipal office directly north. The large gathering of CUPE representatives filed into the building’s main lobby and shouted a series of chants, including one demanding a conference with Leamington mayor John Pa-
terson, who was not present at the group’s time of arrival. Hancock, Hahn and a small group of others were permitted a brief meeting with acting municipal CAO Robert Sharon and director of legal services Ruth Orton.
Negotiators with CUPE and the library board have not been at the bargaining table since Monday, Aug. 8, more than three weeks prior to the rally in Leamington. The strike took effect June 25 as a result of the board’s intention to alter Essex County Library employees’ sick leave benefits with stipulations that would leave about one-third of workers without compensation for work days missed because of illness. Change to short term disability benefits is the other item of contention that fueled the strike.
“It took until Day 45 (of the strike) before the board even realized that a third of the employees wouldn’t qualify for the short-term plan they’ve proposed,” said Wightman. “The whole thing is ridiculous.” Hahn noted that there have been no problems relating

Changes introduced to building, fire, plumbing codes
Approximately 600 changes have been introduced in the National Model Construction Codes, now known as Codes Canada. The new editions of the codes respond to the changing needs of the population and to new technologies, materials, and research:
• All buildings in Canada will now be designed for earthquake forces regardless of the level of hazard.
• New design requirements will improve accessibility of stairs and washrooms.
• Increased run dimension of steps inside houses from the current minimum of 210 mm to a new minimum of 254 mm could reduce fall incidences by up to 64%.
• New requirements to flow rates in showers will reduce water usage in buildings.
• Additional protection measures such as higher standards for automatic sprinkler systems will allow for the construction of 6-storey wood buildings.
In response to climate change, the Government of Canada has announced an additional $40 million over five years to integrate climate resilience into building design guides and codes. Funding will support revised national building codes, and guides integrating climate resiliency into the design and rehabilitation of public infrastructure will be ready for adoption in 2020.
Codes Canada are developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes and published every five years by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). This includes the National Building Code, the National Fire Code, the National Plumbing Code, and the National Energy Code for Buildings.
Under Canada’s constitution, provinces and territories regulate the design and construction of new houses and buildings, as well as the maintenance and operation of fire safety systems in existing buildings. Anyone can submit a code change request at any time through NRC’s website. These requests are reviewed and, if approved, help improve the codes.
Another Hwy 3 collision
On Thursday, September 1 at 3:40 p.m. the OPP responded to another crash on Highway 3.
The head-on collision happened west of Essex County Rd. 31, Kingsville. A white Chevrolet pickup was travelling eastbound on Hwy 3 when it crossed the centre line into the westbound lane where it was struck by a white Freightliner tractor-trailer.
The driver and lone occupant of the Chevrolet, a 56-year-old Windsor man, was transported to an area hospital with life threatening injuries.
The driver and lone occupant of the Freightliner, a 51-year-old Leamington man, was not injured.
Kingsville Fire Department, Leamington Fire Services and Essex Windsor Emergency Medical Services attended the scene and assisted in the extrication of the driver of the Chevrolet.
Hwy 3 between Essex County Rd. 31 and Essex County Rd. 34 was closed for several hours.
Union library rally reaches Leamington
(Continued from Front) to the current agreement on sick leave with the Essex County Library and that proposed changes would actually be more costly for the board over the next 30 years.
“Sick leave has been here for generations and now they want to take it away,” Hahn said.
He and his cohorts explained that Essex County’s mayors and municipal councilors must put pressure on the library board to resume the negotiation process. Hahn expressed gratitude for a Leamington council’s motion to suggest the board’s return to the bargaining table, but stressed the point that a follow through process is crucial.
“It’s a big first step and passing that motion is appreciated,” he noted. “However, it’s something that he (Paterson) must put into action as a member of county council. People can’t continually be denied access to a vital service like libraries.”
Paterson pointed out that county council has “very little influence” on county-wide services such as the Solid Waste Authority, EMS, Sun Parlour Home and the library board. Through e-mail correspondence, he explained that county council’s control over services such as the Essex County Library is limited to allocating budgets that those services must operate within. Paterson explained that while county council members have been kept up to date on the strike and have expressed points of view on it in closed sessions, it is not part of the negotiating process with CUPE.
Hancock explained that contractual disagreements between CUPE locals and management rarely result in strikes, although this is the second the national union’s membership has experienced this year.
“They’re (Local 2974) very strong in their beliefs and desire to keep the (contract) language that they have,” he explained. “They know they’ll be negatively impacted by the changes being proposed. Forcing them to work when they’re sick could easily spread germs to the moms, dads
and kids who visit these libraries. For the board to ask for this level of concessions is ridiculous.”
CUPE representatives explained that some Essex County mayors have told them that they don’t expect a return to the bargaining table until mid September, after a bad faith bargaining hearing with the Ministry of Labour is expected to end. The local union also noted that results from a public poll indicate that between two thirds and three quarters of residents surveyed believe the lengthy strike is the fault of the library board.
Donations continue for Salvation Army
By Bryan Jessop
Leamington’s Salvation Army may have new core officers, but the support it receives from throughout the community hasn’t changed.
Husband and wife leftenants Brad and Wavie Webster took on operations of the Setterington Street branch of the Salvation Army on Canada Day this year and have since been greeted with a steady stream of support from organizations and businesses throughout the Leamington area. On Friday, July 29, in conjunction with Leamington’s Real Canadian Superstore, The Giving Spoon made a donation to the local Salvation Army’s food bank valued at approximately $2,500. A team of SA volunteers loaded two large skids filled with items into the Salvation Army van that day to help restock the food bank’s quickly diminishing inventory. Brad explained that the latest Superstore/Giving Spoon contribution filled two thirds of what was on the organization’s list of needs.
“The Giving Spoon has been very supportive of our food bank over the years. Bill has been great. He just tells us whatever we need, just give him a call.”
— Brad Webster
The Giving Spoon is led by Superstore employee and Leamington council member Bill Dunn, who is offered the use of his employer’s second-floor kitchen to set up soup luncheons that in turn receive donations from guests who are able to spare a few dollars.
“The Giving Spoon has been very supportive of our food bank over the years,” Brad said. “Bill has been great. He just tells us whatever we need, just give him a call.”
The skids from the most recent Giving Spoon donation were filled with items including Kraft Dinners, juices, canned meats and vegetables and peanut butter, the latter which Webster described as a staple for any food bank. Webster noted that all donations to the food bank are crucial, as
supplies are normally sent out as quickly as they come in.
For the month of June this year alone, between 500 and 600 families made use of the Leamington Salvation Army food bank. Currently, shelves are in need of items such as peanut butter, canned goods, non-perishables including Kraft Dinner and perhaps most desperately, breakfast cereals.
Although the kick-off to the 2016-17 school year was still nearly three weeks away at the time, the Websters welcomed the first school donation under their leadership of the Leamington Salvation Army. On Thursday, Aug. 18, a group of 23 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 4 students representing Queen Elizabeth Public School stopped by with a collection of food donations. In turn, Webster gave the group tours of
the Salvation Army facilities while explaining to the young visitors how the charitable organization operates.
“It was a great visit,” said Brad. “The kids asked lots of questions, which is good.”
This week also marks the local Salvation Army’s involvement in the Back To School Backpack Program, sponsored by Staples. For the Leamington branch, 180 backpacks have been filled with a combined $1,800 of school supplies including binders, pens, pencils, paper, crayons, exercise books, erasers, pencil sharpeners and other items typically required of students. The filled backpacks are being distributed by the Salvation Army and its volunteers Tuesday, Aug. 30 and Wednesday, Aug. 31.
Earlier this month, Leamington’s Real Canadian Super Sore and Giving Spoon program answered the call to a need for an inventory boost at the Leamington Salvation Army food bank. The food items donated equaled a value of $2,500 in order to help restock the quickly emptying shelves at the 88 Setterington St. location.

Legends of the fall
The baseball pennant race is in full swing and both my teams, the Tigers and Blue Jays, are in the mix this year.
The dream of my two favourite teams facing off in a playoff series is still a stretch but the possibility is certainly there as we waltz into September.
My memories of fall baseball go a long way back, from the likes of Sal Bando, Reggie Jackson and Gene Tenace dominating play with the despised Oakland Athletics, to Mickey Lolich and Denny McClain keeping hitters at bay with the Tigers in that big 1968 World Series.
I idolized Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell of the 1970 Orioles team. Robinson’s defensive heroics in that World Series made me want to be a third baseman more than anything.
When I got to peewee, I decided to try out for the Legion ‘all-star’ team, coached by John MacKinnon. I initially made the team but struggled to keep up and was sent down to house league, where I likely belonged, to finish the season.
Playing in the house league with some standout ballplayers like John Klemens, Virgil Quick and Todd Brown, I fit right in and loved it. I wouldn’t do the all-star tryout for a couple more years.
Being left handed, it was difficult but I’ve managed to log quite a few innings at the hot corner over the years.
Now as I get longer in the tooth and shorter in reflex (and patience), I prefer not to man that corner if I don’t have to.
If I had a nickel for every baseball or softball I took off the shins over my career, I’d be a lot richer than I ever expected.
My second go-round with the ‘travel’ team in bantam had me on the fringe of making the team. I played a lot of right field, which, in those days, was where you put your worst player.
I persevered and eventually became a regular under the guidance of Larry Martin and Jim Whittal, who coached the midget team the following year.
My dad, Carl, along with Bob Wiper and Lew Webster, coached us through juvenile, where we won the Ontario title in 1980.
Back in my minor ball days, I played with some pretty good players. When I first stepped on the diamond in 1969, most of the ‘Atom’ division played their games directly behind the Rhine Danube Club on the fairgrounds property. That area that is now a parking lot and soccer field was once a couple of ball diamonds.
After watching my brothers play ‘all-star’ ball all the way up, I finally felt at home on the same level they had been on when I was the team’s bat-boy in the late 1960s.
I was hoping to eventually catch up to them and get to play with them, but it didn’t happen.
We also played at Margaret D. Bennie and Queen Elizabeth schools in those days.
My team, the Pirates, won the Atom championship that first year with Jim Wiper at the helm. We really should have been called The Wipers, because they could have fielded a family team on their own. Tracy, Mark, Troy, Andy and Phil all wore Pirates jerseys that year. The rest of us were merely window dressing.
By the time I got to the senior level, playing for the Leamington Barons, Pat’s hockey career had taken off so his baseball career was over. Dennis, who is 11 years older than me, had traded in his Leamington Barons snug-fitting pinstripes for the blue and white of the Wheatley Franklins.
Little Teddy Wigfield enjoyed his first season on that team alongside myself, the Wiper clan and others like Dennis Ouellette, Brad Dunmore and Brian Young.
Coach Jim pitched every inning to each one of us, overhand but tossed very softly so us little guys could make decent contact. Yes, we kept score back then. Shame on us! I say that facetiously, because nowadays, they don’t keep score. Little Johnny’s feelings might get hurt if his team lost a game, you know.
As my baseball career progressed from a kid standing with a used glove attempting to make a play, we graduated to what we called ‘real’ baseball, up to the tyke division, where we faced real pitchers and catchers.
So, instead of playing with either of my brothers, I suddenly found myself facing Dennis occasionally. With us both being pitchers, we’d try to get each other out. It was a fun year. Some great players took to the diamond on both of those teams. The Biekx brothers, Gene and Ed, along with Kyle Scratch and a whole slew of others were long-time standouts with the Barons. In Wheatley, the Franklins were often led by Rob Willan, Todd Loop, Tim Oliphant and Tim Mercer.
Then slo-pitch, or ‘lobball’ as it was known then, came along and I was hooked on the shorter, more offensive game and have played ever since.
Most of those players remained within the Pirates ‘franchise’ as we moved up together under the tutelage of Henry Wheeler and his daughter, Trudy.
This group of mostly Gore-Hillians (we weren’t called Gators then) excelled and won the tyke championship too.
So as this autumn prepares to make household names out of guys like Mookie Betts, Devin Travis and JaCoby Jones, I can’t help but think back to the days when those old October standouts like Reggie, Roberto and Thurman pulled on the uniforms and made me want to strive to be like them.
That ship has sailed for me, but hopefully there are some young players out there who might just idolize their own ‘legends of the fall.’
Windsor-built 1952 Plymouth close to home again!
Keith King of Wheatley was born March 30, 1952
as I had thought,” says Ron, “as she had sat in a garage with a dirt floor for 18 years.”
and now owns a car built in the year of his birth. It’s a beautiful green-and-white 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook 4-door sedan with a fascinating history. A man in Thessalon bought it new for his two daughters, Beatrice and Lola. Beatrice drove the car until 1970.
In 1988, Ron King of Mississauga (Keith’s brother) heard from his fatherin-law of an old Plymouth in decent shape stored in a garage. Ron bought the car sight unseen. He then packed up the family for a week’s vacation in Thessalon, where he picked up the car and brought it to his father-in-law’s place. “It wasn’t in as good a shape
Undaunted, Ron trailered the car back to Toronto and spent a year restoring the exterior (the interior is still original and untouched). “I went to Carlisle, PA, looking for parts and found four brand new front and rear fenders still in the factory wrap.”
The glove compartment still has the original owner’s manual and a 1952 map of Ontario along with a diary describing some trips taken by the two sisters in their car.
After it was restored, Ron ordered personalized plates in the name of “B TRIS” after Beatrice, the original driver. As Ron promised, “We went back to Thessalon for the annual Community Day Parade and I picked Beatrice up at the Seniors
Home and she rode the parade route with me. Just the look on her face and telling all the fond memories she had with her sister in this car was well worth the work put into restoring it.”
When Ron’s kids were little, they were positive the Plymouth was a magic car. “It was known as the Ice Cream Car, for when I would ask them if they wanted to go for ice cream, she would beep her horn and say ‘Yes!’ Unbeknown to the kids, I had actually
leaned on the horn with my elbows while holding my hands in the air. So it wasn’t strange for any one of them to come and ask ‘B TRIS’ if she wanted to go for ice cream.”
With Ron’s kids now grown up and only 3000 miles put on the car in nearly 29 years, and Ron now busy with other things, he arranged for the Plymouth to go to his brother Keith in Wheatley, bringing the car now close to where she was born in Windsor.

Kids Raise Money to Help Kids
Drivers urged to be cautious on Leamington streets
I hope that you can help raise this issue. Mon. Aug. 29 there was a traffic accident at the corner of Danforth Ave. and Alderton Ave. in Leamington. Cars were impacted, police, fire and ambulance service were called. Hazardous materials spilled into the roadway.
This is the third such accident on this corner this summer. Each time at least one vehicle was forced off the road and onto neighbouring property. There are
stop signs on the east and west corners for traffic on Alderton Ave. Danforth is a throughway at this point; however, traffic coming north has been forced to slow through the double “S” bends and when they clear those they are accelerating from 10 km/h to 50 km/h.
If drivers do not come to a full and complete stop at the Alderton corners, they have to try to judge the speed of the accelerating cars. They do not do that very well.
There have been previous accidents over the past several years also involving bicycles, e-bikes and skate boarders.
On Tuesday (Sept. 6) this corner became extremely busy with school buses, lots of them, parents driving their children to school, again a large number, one dedicated crossing guard and all the children, many of them quite young and perhaps attending school for the first time.
As the traffic will also increase at Lutsch St. and Talbot St. with many more children arriving by school bus, drivers have to obey the laws. Stop signs mean just that, a full cessation of movement. Driving means only driving and doing absolutely nothing else.
Please alert the Leamington drivers to be cautious. We can’t afford to lose any single member of our community.
– J.E. Smith, Leamington
The children at the Discovery Childcare Summer Program held a Charity Car Wash and Lemonade Stand as their annual Social Justice Project, on Friday, July 29. It was a great success, raising $425. The team at Soapy Sudz AutoSpa donated not only their time to help the kids and also supplied the hoses, mitts and soap to wash all the cars. On Friday, August 12 the staff and children were very excited to present cheques to the charities they had chosen. Proceeds from the car wash were presented to the Ronald McDonald House of Windsor representative Christine Richer, and proceeds from the lemonade stand were presented to the Little Hands for a Cause organization representative Leigh-Ann Mastronardi and her children Cole and Taya.

Libro donates to youth business program
By Bryan Jessop
When it comes to giving area youths a chance to flourish professionally despite facing personal difficulties, two local branches of two organizations are getting down to business.
On Thursday, Sept. 1, Libro Credit Union’s Leamington location officially unveiled a donation of $7,500 to Rise Asset Development’s Youth Small Business Program. The course is making its way to Leamington for the first time after launching a pilot project four years ago in Toronto and then expanding into London, Windsor, Ottawa and Kingston in 2014.
The Libro donation was part of its 2016 Prosperity Fund, an initiative that is dispersing more than $500,00 to 41 recipients across Southwestern Ontario including Leamington, Amherstburg, Belle River, Harrow, Kingsville, Windsor and Essex. The grants are offered in an ongoing effort to support programs and projects that strengthen and instigate regional economic development, youth leadership and financial responsibility.
The $7,500 being directed towards Leamington’s firstever RAD Youth Small Business Program will be used to offer $500 start-up grants to each graduate of the 13-week course. The program is open to 16- to 29-year-old applicants who have experienced mental health and/or addiction challenges and who are interested in pursuing ownership and management of their own small businesses.
“It’s huge,” said RAD business advisor for London to Windsor-Essex County Justin Carter. “Pretty much every business idea includes start-up costs and with no funds, those ideas are dead in the water.”
Applicants for the course, which starts in Leamington later this month, must meet specific criteria, undergo a references check and an in-person interview with RAD representatives before finding out if they are accepted into the program. The location for Leamington’s three-month course will depend on the class’s size. Renee Daudlin-Iacobelli, who will instruct the program, explained that an uptown Leamington facility has been made available should the class be small enough. Should numbers significantly expand from the seven who had registered at the time of the Libro funding announcement, a larger centre — perhaps one within the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex
— could be utilized instead. Daudlin-Iacobelli noted that a class size of 20 would be ideal for Leamington’s program. The instructor represents Insight Advantage, one of Rise’s community partners.
The Youth Small Business Program wraps up with a graduation ceremony where students pitch their personal business ideas following the twice-weekly, two-hour sessions. Those 13 weeks will include a rotation of guest speakers offering insight on legal, contractual, banking and social media elements of small business, among other components crucial to running a successful business.
“It’s not just a string of two boring hours of lectures,” explained Carter, who also noted the course includes mentorship and insightful training opportunities. “It’s very interactive. We heard there were a lot in the Leamington and county areas who wanted into the program, but couldn’t get to Windsor. Along with the start-up grant, this course will help youth get themselves and their ideas off the ground. A lot of them really need a big win in life, and this can be that win. There are a lot of smiling faces and tears of joy during
these graduating ceremonies.”
Success in bringing the program to Leamington, Carter said, can largely be credited to Leamington District Memorial Hospital manager of innovation, partnerships, communication and development Zain Ismail. Established as a oneon-one mentor for numerous youths throughout the county, Ismail heard of the RAD program early in its development and expressed an interest in bringing it to Leamington.
“He’s been a tremendous advocate for Leamington,” Carter said. “He’s been a tremendous cheerleader for us.”
The Youth Small Business Program is backed by the Ontario provincial government’s Strategic Community Entrepreneurship Projects Funding Stream. Such funding allows RAD to utilize a laptop recycling program that makes computers available to students of the course.
Applications to join the program can be found online at www.riseassetdevelopment.com/programs/youth-smallbusiness-program by clicking the “Apply Now” link. At the same time, the course will be offered in Toronto, Peterborough and Sudbury.

Single vehicle fatality in Lakeshore
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has completed their initial investigation into the single motor vehicle fatal collision which occurred at approximately 2:30 a.m. September 5 on Morris Road in Lakeshore.
A Chevrolet pickup truck was travelling eastbound on Morris Road when it lost control and left the roadway, coming to rest in a farm field on the north side of the road. An off duty Emergency Medical Services (EMS) worker located the overturned vehicle at approximately 7:40 a.m. that morning.
The OPP, the Town of Lakeshore Fire Department and Essex Windsor EMS all responded to the scene.
The lone occupant, George Willms, age 67 of Lakeshore, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Active transportation plan presented
The Municipality of Leamington hired MMM Group as consultants back in 2014 to prepare a plan for a continuous system of active transportation throughout the municipality. The report says, “The plan was developed to identify short and long term infrastructure improvements, policies and processes, programming and outreach initiatives and tools to facilitate growth and development of active transportation and recreation municipality-wide.”
Some of the more visible proposed projects and changes recommended in the report include:
• Changing Erie St. S. from Oak to Countess so that it is three lanes (like north of Oak) with bicycle lanes;
• Creating a multi-use boulevard path beside Mersea Rd. 2 from County Rd. 33 (the East Side Arterial Road) to Mersea Rd. 12, connecting the town to the soccer pitches;
• Providing paved shoulders and a multi-use trail along Point Pelee Drive all the way from Sturgeon Creek to the Park gates;
• Bird-watching trails along the top of major dykes by Mersea Rds. E and C.
Changes to existing infrastructure are also proposed, such as special markings for bicycles to safely cross intersections and flow with traffic, special bicycle parking corrals at various locations within the town, and special trailheads at proposed new locations.

The consultants went so far as to describe ways to make active transportation better used through education, partnerships, tourism, a ‘safe routes to school’ program, and establishing programs that emphasize the shift toward a bicycle-friendly community.
Preliminary estimates identify somewhere between $100,000 and $160,000 to be spent in 2017 and 1018, although various jurisdictions must be consulted for some of these ideas. In addition, County Wide Active Transportation Study (CWATS) cost sharing (over the mid-term) are estimated as just over $1 million to Leamington and just under $1 million to Essex County.
The consultants reported that Leamington should expect to spend over $6 million over the next 20 years.
In their presentation to Municipal Council at a special meeting Aug. 18, the consultants emphasized the flexibility of their recommendations, plus the difference between quick, easy changes, and more difficult, long-term changes. In the first 5 years, almost 80 kilometres of new trails will be created simply through signage and painting lines on roads.
Councillor Larry Verbeke asked Leamington’s representatives on County Council if the County is certain to continue the CWATS program.
Mayor Paterson said there are no absolutes. The latest estimates at the County level indicate that the CWATS program could ultimately cost Essex County as much as $100 million, which causes members of County Council grave misgivings.
At the end of the presentation, Council moved to receive the report.

Arthur Armand Morris Marchand, age 67, of Wheatley, was met at the Rainbow Bridge by his pets Bear and Lilly on Monday, August 29, 2016. They led him through the veil, where his parents Armand and Mary (Debrander) Marchand welcomed their eldest son “Home”.
While many friends, relatives and pets are rejoicing with him there, there are many of the same left to walk their grief journey here.
Arthur enjoyed 28 years as Scout leader with the 2nd Leamington Scouts. Both he and his cherished wife Shirley Ann (Garrod) are dedicated Gilwellians who shared 43 years of marriage. With love at the heart of their marriage, they enjoyed togetherness in many events honouring Arthur’s Métis heritage, and also just playing dress-up at re-enactments, fishing or hunting. Shirley held his hand when he left.
In creating a family, Arthur was a loving father to sons Andrew (Heather), Phillip (Tammy) and Matthew (Sarah). He treasured his grandsons Andrew, Dylan and youngest Damon, who honoured both Grandpas as their namesakes. Arthur was a special father mentor to Nathan, Robert and Justin.
Missing Arthur are his two brothers Paul (Rose) and David (Tracy), both of Tilbury, as well as Shirley’s sister Betty (Larry Heather) and brother Bill Garrod. Nieces and nephews who will miss their camps with their uncle are Daniel, Joe and Heather, Daryl and Jasmine, Pam, Robin and Markus, Kevin and Christy, and Adam. Death ends a life, not a relationship. As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there.
You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.
Visitations were held on Saturday, September 3, 2016 at Hammond Funeral Home, Wheatley.
Funeral Service was conducted by Rev. O. Kitchen, Pastor J. Tiffin and Victoria Mouck, Parish Nurse, The Church of the Epiphany.
The family held a private scattering of cremations of their beloved Arthur together with Bear and Lilly.

Local student heading to FireFit Nationals
By Bryan Jessop
Jared Adams and his fellow Lambton College teammates are more than capable of taking the heat. Now they’re just trying to help fund it.
Adams, born and raised in Leamington, is part of a 10-member team of Lambton College fire science students that will soon make its way to Spruce Meadows, Alberta for the 2016 Scott National FireFit Championships. Taking place Wednesday, Sept. 14 to Sunday, Sept. 18, the annual FireFit series of competitions will bring in professional, volunteer, college and industrial firefighting teams from across Canada. The Lambton College team of five men and five women is composed of first- and secondyear fire sciences students, segments of the two-and-a-half year program preceeded by a pre-service course.
Adams and his cohorts are making efforts to assist the college in funding the expenses associated with the trip to Alberta including accommodations, flights and meals. The
fundraising endeavor is being presented as a Go Fund Me account launched by the team’s coach Sue Patrick. Accessible at www.gofundme.com/2hmkchw, interested supporters can visit the website to make contributions of any desired amount. As of Tuesday of this week, the financial campaign was nearing the targeted $5,000 goal’s three-quarter mark at $3,620. A handful of the 28 donators as of Sept. 2 were friends and family of Adams as well as Leamington Chrysler — his father Raymond Adams’ employer. The team’s Go Fund Me account was set up in early August.
Adams is joined by Kyle Couture of Chatham, Jordan Cuthbertson of Fort Erie, Connor Hanenburg of Putnam and Anthony Wesley-James of Guelph for the men’s half of the team and Mackenzie Baker of London, Paige Heron of Burlington, Rachel Hunchak of Waterloo, Courtney Surridge of Kincardine and Ashley Uniac-George of London.

WALK-IT
for Parkinson’s
On Sunday, September 11, walkers from Windsor-Essex and surrounding area will come together in Malden Park in Windsor to raise funds to support those living with Parkinson’s in Southwestern Ontario.
This year, Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario (PSSO) will be presenting the first ever WALK-IT for Parkinson’s which will be replacing the Parkinson SuperWalk. All funds raised at the event will remain in Southwestern Ontario. With regular physical activity proven to slow progression of Parkinson’s symptoms, it is the WALK-IT for Parkinson’s mission to keep the Parkinson’s community active! At 1:00 P.M., pledged walkers will put on their pedometers and begin their 1km-5km to join the 1,000,000 Step Challenge across the region.
Parkinson’s is a slow, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, making activities of daily living difficult for someone who has the disease. Primary symptoms associated with Parkinson’s include tremor, rigidity, slow movement, postural instability, loss of balance control, soft speech, and sleep disturbances. Other symptoms include depression, anxiety, dementia, memory problems and difficulty with communication.
To register or find out more information about WALK-IT for Parkinson’s, visit www. WALK-IT.ca
Province reaches milestone in organ donor registration
Registration rate has increased almost 90% since 2008
Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) has announced a significant milestone in organ and tissue donation: 30% of Ontarians have registered their decision to donate organs and tissue at end of life. Since adopting an affirmative registry in 2008, the registration rate in Ontario has increased by nearly 90%.
In 2011, when TGLN began reporting registration rates by community, not one community in Ontario had reached the 50% benchmark. Today there are 8, including: North Bay, Parry Sound, Sudbury, Nipissing South, Kincardine, Bracebridge, Timmins Region, and Nipissing North.
While 30% of Ontarians have registered their consent, many more may believe they are registered because they carry a paper donor card. In fact, a recent Ipsos survey revealed that as many as 45% of Ontarians believe they are registered donors. Donor cards are no longer used, as they were difficult for hospital staff to access when necessary. To formally register, or to check your registration status, visit www. BeADonor.ca
“Organ and tissue donation is incredibly important – one donor can save up to 8 lives and help 75 more through tissue donation,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.
Quick Facts
• In the 2015-2016 fiscal year over 340,000 Ontarians registered as donors, the highest number ever recorded in one year.
• Everyone is a potential donor, regardless of age, sexual orientation, and pre-existing medical conditions.
• Registration rates by communities are available at www.BeADonor. ca/scoreboard
Trillium Gift of Life Network is a not-for-profit agency of the Government of Ontario responsible for planning, promoting, coordinating and supporting organ and tissue donation for transplantation across Ontario and improving the system so that more lives can be saved.
Local student going to FireFit Nationals
(Continued from Page 10) gold medals, five silvers and one bronze. Categories include individual entries, where participants perform specific tasks while navigating the course in as little time as possible as well as relay events in men’s, women’s and mixed divisions.
There is also an ‘X3’ competition for two-member entries, although the Lambton group will focus strictly on individual, women’s relay and men’s relay disciplines while in Alberta.
Most FireFit competitions begin with preliminary rounds where teams or individuals run the course for a team that is registered in a bracketed ranking. From there, pairs of entries go head-to-head in elimination rounds until two remain for the final.
During competitions in Port Elgin and Napanee earlier this year, the finals boiled down to teams from Lambton College and Fleming College in Peterborough. Adams and his team raced their way to gold on both occasions.
Last year, the national FireFit event was hosted by
Kitchener, where the Lambton team won first place in the college-industrial division.
Success at this year’s regional levels allowed the Lambton team to qualify for nationals in Alberta. Interested teams and individuals who don’t qualify prior to the five-day event can earn a spot in eliminations by competing in wild card events early in the schedule. Adams and his teammates were determined to take the pre-qualification route earlier this summer.
“I just concentrated on running a fast enough time so that I didn’t have to worry about it,” he said of avoiding the wild card rounds.
The now 21-year-old Adams graduated from Leamington District Secondary School in 2013 and following a fifth-year “victory lap,” began the two-and-ahalf year set of courses at Lambton College in 2014. Once he graduates just prior to Christmas this year, he’ll seek out employment opportunities or take a position with a volunteer firefighting force if one is available. Otherwise, he may return
to Sarnia-based Lambton College for a two-year paramedics course.
Prior to graduating from high school, Adams was an avoid hockey player both with Southpoint Minor Hockey and the LDSS Lions. Southpoint coaches Steve Peters, Adam Sellon and Josh Lewis — all firefighters with either Leam-
ington or Chahtam fire departments — were the individuals who inspired Adams to take his current courses in Sarnia.
“It’s a really good school,” Adams said of Lambton College. “It has a reputation for being the best one (for firefighting courses). I’d recommend it to anyone.”

Midget Lakers win OBA ‘B’ title
The Leamington Lakers edged the Stratford Indians 5-4 on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 28, to claim the OBA ‘B’ Midget championship in Simcoe.
The locals went undefeated in their quest for the title, shutting out the Halton Hills Eagles 2-0 in the semi-final, doubling the St. Thomas Cardinals 12-6, beating Statford 6-4 in earlier play, and defeating the Waterdown Wolves 111. In the championship game at Simcoe’s massive Memorial Park, Leamington was trailing Stratford 4-3 in the top of the seventh inning. Kameron Wall led off with a single. Aidan Massad sacrificed him to second. Brandon Teichroeb was then walked before Ryan Wall singled to score Kameron Wall. Derrick Antunes came in to pinch run for Teichroeb and scored, beating the tag at the plate when Lucas Lamotte blasted a single to right centre field.
Nursing the one run lead, pitcher James Hiebert made things interesting walking the first Stratford batter. Catcher Dawson Iles then picked off the potential tying run at first base with a heads-up play and laser-like throw to first baseman Lamotte who got the out in a run down.
Hiebert then struck out the batter at the plate and watched
as the third batter hit a towering fly ball to centre that was caught by Kameron Wall for the final out.
The exciting game ended and the Leamington Lakers were provincial champions.
Massad started on the mound in the final game and put together a tough gutsy performance throwing 5.2 strong innings before giving way to Hiebert as he reached his

(Continued from Page 13) pitch count limit. Hiebert came on and earned the win. Brett Enns, Lamotte, Iles and Massad all had two hits in the exciting final. Massad was named the game MVP by tournament organizers.
Anthony Fehr’s diving stop of a hard hit ground ball and then righting himself to make the throw to first for the out set the tone early in the contest
“The boys played great,” said coach John Wall. “They had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs throughout the weekend, but once the game started they were all business. They played some impressive ball.”
In the semi-final, fans were treated to a real pitching duel. Scoreless after five complete innings, Leamington scored a single run in the sixth and seventh inning to pull off the 2-0 win. Hiebert rose to the occasion, throwing a no-hitter and striking out 6. Massad and Ryan Wall had two hits each.
On Saturday evening, Aug. 27, the Lakers were tied with St. Thomas at 6 runs each before plating half a dozen runs in their final atbat to defeat the Cardinals. Lamotte and Kameron Wall handled the pitching duties combining to strike out 12. Kameron Wall helped his cause punching out 3 hits and scoring 3 runs. Every starter in the Laker line up had a hit in the high scoring game.
“Over the years this team has come second three or four times in OBAs and I have to admit this feels much better,” said head coach Chris Lamotte. “Shortstop Brett Enns was an anchor on defense in the tournament and catcher Dawson Iles was a real leader with his play on the weekend.”
“Our first year Midgets (James) Hiebert, (Derrick) Antunes and Ryan Gates all
played key roles this season and this only bodes well for the team in the future.”
Friday night (Aug. 26) at Misner Park in scenic Port Dover the Lakers battled back from a 4-0 deficit to upset Stratford and give the Cardinals their first loss. A very feisty affair that saw the Stratford manager ejected midway through the game saw the Lakers resort to some small ball (bunting, base stealing, aggressive base running) to score 5 runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 5-4 lead. They added another in the fifth and watched the defense shut down the Indians over the last four innings, including the sixth when Stratford loaded the bases with one out and came up empty.
Massad and Fehr had two hits each. Hiebert started on the mound and earned the win with Kameron Wall coming on in relief to get the save.
On Friday morning, in the opening game of the tournament, Massad took control early, going the distance striking out 8 and giving up only 5 hits as Leamington put together an 11-run, 15-hit display. Enns, Teichroen, Ryan Wall, Lamotte, Kyle Wall and Iles had two hits each.
“We got some great baseball out of everyone,” said coach Terry Misener. “But I was most impressed with the play of our outfield. Left fielder Brandon Teichroeb was solid throughout and in the St. Thomas game ran down a ball in the gap in left centre and caught it on the run at the warning track. Right fielder Ryan Wall had a pair of running catches on well hit balls we all thought were going to get by him. And Kameron Wall played centre field like he owned it. It was only fitting that he recorded the final out.”
This marked the first time Leamington had won a Midget OBA ‘B’ title since the 2000 season. The last Leamington OBA championship was Rookie in 2011 when they won ‘C’.
The Midget Lakers are sponsored by Howie’s Custom Coating. Players in-
clude Derrick Antunes, Brett Enns, Anthony Fehr, Ryan Gates, Emilio Gomez, James Hiebert, Dawson Iles, Lucas Lamotte, Aidan Massad, Brandon Teichroeb, Ryan Wall, Kameron Wall and Kyle Wall.

Kings ready for another great season
The Kingsville Kings, finalists in last year’s quest for the Russell Cup, return to action this weekend.
Coming off last year’s incredible 393-0 regular season, the Kings made it all the way to the Greater Metro Junior ‘A’ Hockey League championship where they were edged by the Tottenham Steam.
Following a rigorous training camp in which the Kings displayed bursts of speed and solid goaltending, they held the Black-Grey Game on Saturday afternoon.
The Kings open their regular season schedule on Saturday, Sept. 10 when they visit the London Lakers. On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 11 at 3 p.m., Kingsville will host the Northumberland Stars.
E.S. Thursday night men’s golf
What a difference a week makes. After the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club played two weeks ago on one of the hottest days on record, the temperatures on September 1 barely hit 70ºF with strong winds coming out of the north making it feel more like the low to mid-60s.
In spite of that, Team Byron Nelson came through with a sizzling 18 points for a total of 219 to jump ahead of the Jack Nicklaus squad and regain first place in the standings. Team Nicklaus only picked up 8 points but they are just back in second place with their 217 point total. The team of Tom Watson remains in third place with 208 points while Team Tiger Woods had a big 17 point night to stay in fourth place but move up to just 4 points behind the Watson crew.
Falling farther behind in fifth spot 28 points back, Team Gary Player has a total of 176 and remains just 6 ahead of the Sam Snead team and only another 3 points ahead of the Walter Hagen squad who sits in seventh place with 167.
Despite the strong gusty winds, there were some great individual gross scores out there with Dave Owens leading the way with a 3 under par 32 that was one better than Raoul Morin and David McIntyre who both shot 2 under par rounds of 33. Brian Humphreys was next at one under 34, while Richard Lowes finished another stroke back at even par 35.
The low net scores were just as impressive with Wayne Gillett and Bill Boutros charging in with 5 under par net rounds of 30 with David McIntyre and Raoul Morin right behind with net scores of 31. Richard Reive and David Owens were next with three par net 32s.
In the individual competition play prize events, Raoul Morin won the closest to the pin award on the long and demanding par 3 fifth hole, sticking it to within 4 feet to the left side of the hole. Making the longest putt of the night was David McIntyre, while Brian Plumb boomed out the longest drive.
It was another quiet week for skins with only 5 being made by David Owens, Brian Plumb, Claudio Sabelli, Richard Reive and Duane Vlodarchyk.

Ladies 18-hole league plays “Throw Out”
Golfers on the 18hole ladies league at Erie Shores Golf Club had to battle pesky biting flies on Tuesday, August 30 as they vied for good scores in a game called “Throw Out”. The game score was achieved by subtracting one par 3, one par 4, and one par 5 hole from their total.
The talented winners for Flight A were Carol Cornies and Debbie Dunmore. Jean Penner had an impressive score to win Flight B, while Lynda McAnally and Vi Gillett were happy to deduct 3 holes from their score to win Flight C.
Skillful chip-ins were recorded by Jo-Anne Smith (#2), Lori Kelly (#3), Jean Penner (#6), Lisa Fehr (#13) and Diana Jones (#17).
Fifty-four golfers in the Erie Shores senior men’s league met Monday, August 29 for a game of wolf with one low net. In the aftermath of two weekend storms, golf carts were allowed in the rough only. The fairways were soft with very little roll, resulting in some higher scores than normal.
Fifty-fifty winners were Carl Young and Bob Sutherland. Closest to the pin on #3 was Neil Reimer and on #16 Ron Koop managed the shot. Longest putt on #5 was Brett Madden and on # 13 it was Richard Reive.
The winning team at 127 was Gary Alderson, Mike Wright, Don Chalcraft and Roger Hodgson. Second at 128 were Matt Dick, Richard Reive, Brett Madden and John Tofflemire. Third at 130 were Frank Gow, Bob Sutherland, Don Mensch and Neil Reimer. Fourth place at 132 were Ron Tiessen, Bob Park, Barry Miller and Barry Power.
Low round of the day went to Matt Dick at 77, followed by Ron Tiessen’s 79. Barry Miller was the only golfer to make more than one bird, making 2 of them on #1 and #2. Neil Reimer and Willie Krahn birdied #1. Richard Reive, Brent Metz, and Henry Hildebrandt birdied #2. Gord Anderson managed one on the par 3 third hole. Barry Miller had one on 6, Mike Wright and Matt Dick birdied #9, John Rutgers #12, Kevin Shaften #14, and Bill Gherasim had one on the tough hole #17.
Don’t forget to sign up for next week by e-mailing esseniorleague@gmail.com. See you then.
Progs golf
Fifty-seven Erie Shores proggers enjoyed a perfect day August 30. Good scores should not have been a problem; however, a lot of players did not do well. It has to do with the acronym LOT. It stands for Lack Of Talent. Those that do have talent provided +6 scores. Holding $11 each were Neil Reimer, John Rutgers, Bill Gherasim and Vic Penner. Next week they may be afflicted with LOT.
In this team competition this was the closest, coming down to the final group. Team B was poised to win as they were leading by 5 points. Unfortunately for them, Tim Towle creaked in with a -9, crushing Team B’s chances. Fortunately for Team D, Vic Penner slammed the door shut on the other teams. Winning $10 were Ron Koop, Gord Anderson, Henry Hildebrandt, Richard Reive, Fred Klassen, Larry Roberts, Ken Segedin, Joe Verhoeven, Roger Cote, Bill Ruiter, Ken Steingart, Ward Hutchins, Frank Gow and Vic Penner.
Seven skins were awarded, valued at $14 each. Recipients were Brian Plumb, Harry Badz, Mel Davey, John Rutgers (2), Vic Penner and Bill Gherasim.
During the skins determination, John Penner proudly announced that Vic was his brother. Brian Plumb could have been his brother but there was a mix-up with mothers. John pretty well claimed some kind of familial relationship with the group. Harry Badz was not claimed by anyone.
For our story: Gary Alderson, on hole #13, spanked his 3 wood that was fading towards the bunker on the left side. Gary is a lefty. The ball landed very close to the bunker and bounced into the backside of Mike Toth, the greenskeeper. Either Mike had buns of steel or rather bouncy, a la Matt Dick, the ball caromed out of the bunker. Gary, like Phil Mickelson, autographed the ball, but then took it back because it was one of his better golf balls.
No news about the snake. As far as I know, Gene Bouliane still has it.
Will it float?
I was giving my son his routine after-supper bath one night about a yearand-a-half ago when he suddenly came up with an interesting game that to the best of his knowledge, nobody had ever thought of before. He’d grab a bath toy, a shampoo bottle, bar of soap, soap tray or whatever and then before dropping it the water, he turned to me and asked “Will it float or sink?” as if he was a game show host and I was the contestant.
He was rather proud of himself for coming up with this little game. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that it had been an occasional feature on Late Night With David Letterman many years earlier dubbed “Will It Float?” that Paul Schafer introduced with a goofy little jingle of sorts. It was the same concept — they’d reveal a random object and ask the audience whether it’d float or sink prior to dropping it into a large plexiglass tank of water.
Anyway, most of the items my son found to test were pretty easy to predict as far as buoyancy was concerned. The majority were toys or containers made of thin, hollow plastic that I knew would stay afloat. One day, he reintroduced the game and found a small toy he had never tested before. I think it was a Shopkin (???) that came with a Happy Meal he suckered my wife and I into buying for him more than a year earlier. It was a tiny, light-
weight little piece of plastic that was probably small enough to stand on a nickel.
“Float!” I answered enthusiastically before he dropped it.
He then released the cheap little object/character, allowing it to make the expected “ploomp!” as it hit the tub water’s surface.
It then sunk like a lead weight.
“Wrong!” he shouted joyfully, as if we had just wagered the last handful of Goldfish crackers sitting in the kitchen cupboard.
I waited to see if it would slowly rise back to the surface (as some objects would do), but it just sat there on the tub floor, staring back up at me with that dorky painted smile on its face as if it too took a certain degree of pleasure in my erroneous prediction.
Not unlike makeshift bath time games, a new movie, TV show or musical album release, it’s sometimes difficult to predict what will float and what will sink in risky ventures pertaining to organized sports. There’s no telling what will catch on and what will wilt on the vine, so to speak, whether it relates to a blockbuster trade, expansion franchise or a simple roster shuffle by the coaching staff.
The National Hockey League will soon roll the dice on the first-of-its-kind World Cup of Hockey. Essentially, it’s an eight-team tournament made up of about 150 of its best players. These teams will include international regulars includ-
ing Canada, the U.S., Russia, Sweden, The Czech Republic and Finland. The other two squads will be Team Europe and Team North America. As Canadians, most of us are well versed enough in world geography to known that all of these nations are ALREADY a part of either North America or Europe. Team Europe is easy enough to explain — it’s made up of players who were born in countries of that continent outside of Russia, Sweden, Finland and The Czech Republic. What’s not easy to explain is how they’ll expect to compete. How many hockey greats can be plucked from Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Belarus and Latvia to form a reputable team? I’ll go out on a limb and predict that Team Europe will sink like a deranged little Shopkin and become one of the four teams to miss out on the semifinals following round robin play. Call it a hunch. Then there’s Team North America. No, this will not be a line-up of Mexico’s best hockey players. This team will be a mixture of Cana-
dians and Americans 23 years of age and under — essentially a junior team with a few over-overoveragers. I’m assuming this means Team Canada and Team USA will be made up of players 24 and over. Not sure, don’t care enough to find out.
Further adding to the ridiculous factor is that the jerseys of these teams could very well be littered with large, gaudy ads in much the same way as European soccer teams. If it wasn’t obvious that this whole charade was nothing but an NHL money grab from the onset, it should be by now.
Honestly, I’m not even sure Gary Bettman himself is confident that this preseason concept will float. He seems so unsure of its success in fact that he’s actually relying on a CANADIAN city (Toronto) to host each and every game. He probably figures that a city crazy enough to shell out top dollar to watch Leafs games must be crazy enough to actually pay an admission fee
to watch Team North America take on Team Europe.
Maybe the NHL and NHLPA figure something new and ‘fresh’ was in order. Apparently, the NBC’s tired old approach to Olympic coverage triggered a 17 per cent drop in ratings for the Rio Games. Relying on tape delay in the age of instant information is the kiss of death, as Millennials with any degree of interest had already streamed certain events and began discussing the results on Facebook and Twitter before those of us old enough to vote even caught the first few seconds of the game or race. From what I’ve read, certain sources suggest that even Americans have grown tired of the network’s “U-S-A!” chest thumping style of coverage. It just doesn’t float anymore.

Mosquito Lakers dominate the OBA championship
The Leamington Lakers Mosquitos, sponsored by Unifab Enclosures, played in the B division of the Ontario Baseball Association Championship September 2-4 in Chatham.
The Lakers faced off against Halton Hills on Friday afternoon and the boys came out swinging.
Derek Neufeld led the team off with a single to left field and then Riley Wiebe stepped up to the plate ripping the ball to the 285 marker in right centre for an inside the park home run. Singles by Jason Friesen, Brady Knelsen, Jack Tiessen, Noah George and Lucas Penner gave the Lakers a 5-1 lead after the first inning.
The Lakers bats were quiet until the 4th inning when Lucas Penner, Vito Alfano and Matt Thomas walked, loading the bases for Derek Neufeld who blasted a bases loaded double and the Lakers were up 8-3 after 4 innings.
In the 5th inning Brady Knelsen, Noah George, Lucas Penner and Vito Alfano all singled and the Lakers were able to score another 4 runs.
Derek Neufeld pitched 5 innings allowing 3 runs on 2 hits, 3 strikeouts, and 1 walk. Reliever Brady Knelsen pitched a strong 6th inning getting out of a bases loaded jam while allowing no runs, and his golden arm sent 2 batters into the dugout with strikeouts.
Going into the bottom of the 6th inning the Lakers were up 12-3 and needed one run to end the game early by mercy rule. Jason Friesen doubled to centre and Sajan Brouwer blasted a walk off double to deep centre field to score Friesen and end the game 13-3 by mercy rule.
In game 2 the Lakers faced Georgina, and they came out swinging again.
Matt Thomas led off with a single, Derek Neufeld singled, and Riley Wiebe doubled to score Matt Thomas. With runners on second and third Jason Friesen blasted a triple to left field and the Lakers were leading with 3 runs.
Jason Friesen started on the mound and the first batter singled,
then tested the catcher’s arm and stole second base. Jason Friesen then struck out the next 2 batters. The number 4 hitter sent a ground ball to third base but the throw got past the Lakers first baseman to score the runner from second base. The hitter advanced to second, then attempted to make his way to third base but the Lakers picked him off to end the inning. The Lakers were leading 3-1 after the first inning.
In the 2nd inning Noah George took a pitch off the numbers to gain first base. He then stole second and advanced to third base on a wild pitch. Lucas Penner walked and Vito Alfano hit a deep sacrifice fly ball to right field scoring Noah George. Jason Friesen struck out 2 batters and Vito Alfano had an unassisted out at first base to end the second inning. Lakers were up 4-1.
In the 3rd inning Jason Friesen walked, Sajan Brouwer blasted a triple to deep left field then following in his footsteps was Brady Knelsen with a triple to left. Singles by Noah George and Lucas Penner put the Lakers up another 4 runs. Georgina couldn’t get much going with Jason Friesen in his zone. Jason struck out 2 and walked one before Sajan Brouwer trotted out of the bullpen to the pitching mound. Brouwer had a shaky start pitching 3 straight balls before taking a deep breath and finishing the inning with 3 straight fastballs for a strikeout.
The Lakers weren’t able to score any runs in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings, but in the 7th inning Jason Friesen singled, Sajan Brouwer doubled scoring Friesen. Brady Knelsen moved Brouwer to third on a sac bunt then Jack Tiessen hit an RBI single giving the Lakers 10 runs.
Sajan Brouwer faced 10 batters allowing 1 hit, 1 run, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts and 1 hit by pitch.
Vito Alfano fresh off the beaches of Italy pitched a solid performance facing 10 batters while allowing 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk and 1 strikeout.
The Lakers won 10-3.
The Lakers played Saturday night against Kawartha under the lights and the weather was perfect for a ball game.
Derek Neufeld singled in the 1st inning but the Lakers weren’t able to cash him in and he was left stranded on second base.
Riley Wiebe took the mound in the bottom of the first inning and Kawartha managed to hit a single to left field.
Riley took exception to that and struck out the next batter. The inning ended with a ground ball hit to shortstop Jack Tiessen who gunned the runner out at first base. No score after one. The stars were just coming out in the sky and they must have been lined up right because the Lakers seemed to be energized!
Sajan Brouwer started the inning with a 250 foot blast to deep center field for a triple. Brady Knelsen hit a sac fly to centerfield scoring Brouwer.
Jack Tiessen walked, Noah George and Lucas Penner singled, Vito Alfano doubled, Matt Thomas tripled, Derek Neufeld singled, Riley Wiebe hit a deep triple to right field, and Jason Friesen walked to give the Lakers a 7-0 lead after 2 at bats.
The Lakers defence was flawless in the second inning. Jack Tiessen gunned the runner out from short, Noah George tracked down a fly ball in right field, and Riley Wiebe struck out the third batter.
The scoring continued in the 3rd inning for the Lakers as Brady Knelsen showed patience at the plate drawing a walk, Jack Tiessen hit a hard grounder to short that was too tough to handle, Lucas Penner singled to left field then Vito Alfano singled and the Lakers had racked up 10 runs.
Riley Wiebe dominated in the 3rd inning striking out the first 2 batters, then sent a batter to first with a walk. A hard grounder to third was scooped up by Matt Thomas who threw the runner out at second for the third out.
Riley Wiebe stepped up to the plate in the 4th inning and hit a big league 250 foot bomb to left centre for an inside the park home run –his second of the tournament. Jason Friesen followed with a double.
Sajan Brouwer went opposite field hitting a line drive down the left field line for an RBI double. The Lakers were up 12-0.
Kawartha started the 4th inning getting on base after a fielding error, but pitcher Riley Wiebe caught a well hit grounder up the middle and threw to second base for a 1-4-3 double play. Matt Thomas then got the nod from the bullpen and struck out the third batter with 3 straight pitches ending the 4th inning.
The Lakers managed 3 more runs in the 5th inning for a total of 15.
Kawaratha was able to snap the shut out and scored a run but it wasn’t enough and the Lakers won 15-1 by mercy rule.
Riley Wiebe allowed 1 hit, 1 walk, and struck out 4 batters in 4 2/3 innings.
Matt Thomas pitched 11/3 innings allowing 1 run, 1 hit, 1 walk and 2 strikeouts.
The Lakers had 21 hits in the 5 inning ball game.
The Lakers played in the semi-finals on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. before the morning dew had dried up.
The Stratford Indians managed to take an early lead by scoring one run in the top of the 1st inning.
The Lakers bats remained hot as Matt Thomas led off with a single to left field. Riley Wiebe airmailed the ball to the left field fence for his 3rd inside the park home run of the tournament. The Lakers were up 2-0 after 1 inning.
Derek Neufeld struck out 2 batters in the 2nd inning shutting down the Indians.
Stratford managed to contain the Lakers and didn’t allow a run in the second inning.
Pitching ace Derek Neufeld owned the field in the third inning striking out 2 batters and Jack Tiessen caught a fly ball at short stop to end the inning.
The Lakers got the bats going again in the 3rd inning when Matty “Doubles” Thomas led off with a double. Riley Wiebe singled, Jason Friesen walked, and Sajan Brouwer blasted a 2 run RBI triple to left field to give the Lakers a 6-1 lead after 3 innings.
In the 4th inning Stratford’s lead off hitter hit a bullet up the middle but it was no match for the range of second baseman Riley Wiebe as he made a diving catch and threw the runner out at first base. Stratford didn’t quit and squeaked out another run in the 4th but Derek Neufeld fought back with 2 strikeouts to end the inning.
Jack Tiessen came in as the closing pitcher in the 5th inning striking out 2 batters and Lucas Penner helped out by catching a fly ball at third base to shut down the Indians.
The Lakers exploded in the bottom of the 5th inning when Vito Alfano walked, Derek Neufeld, Riley Wiebe, and Jason Friesen singled. Sajan Brouwer walked, and Brady Knelsen put down an MLB bunt that laid to rest 16” from the plate scoring Jason Friesen from third. Brady Knelsen stunned the Indians by getting a double on his perfect bunt and put himself in scoring position.
Noah George hit a walk off single to left field scoring Knelsen and ending the semi-final game by mercy rule 12-2 in the 5th inning.
Derek Neufeld struck out 7, allowed 4 hits and 2 runs in his 4 innings on the mound.
Jack Tiessen pitched to 4 batters to close out the 5th inning -striking out 2 and allowing 1 hit.
The Lakers stayed disciplined and focused during their pre game routine as they prepared to face Tecumseh in the OBA Championship.
Right-hander Jason Friesen started on the mound for the Lakers. The first batter hit a grounder to Derek Neufeld at second that he scooped up and sent to first baseman Riley Wiebe for the out. The second batter hit a high fly ball to right field that Noah George squeezed for out number 2. The third batter didn’t even have time to get his bat off his shoulder before Jason Friesen sent him to the dugout with a strikeout.
Tecumseh held the Lakers hitless in the bottom of the first inning but the boys fought back in the 2nd inning by shutting down Tecumseh using their defensive skills. Brady Knelsen led the second inning with another perfect bunt. He then stole 2nd base, advanced to 3rd base on a wild pitch, and stole home on another wild pitch. Noah George got on base with a single to centre. Lucas Penner drew a walk. Vito Alfano made it to first base on a fielders’ choice and Matt Thomas blasted a 2 run triple to left field. Derek Neufeld singled to score Thomas and the Lakers were ahead 4-0 after 2 innings.
Jason Friesen continued his domination on the mound striking out 2 batters, and with help from his infield for the third out Tecumseh was held scoreless.
The Lakers kicked the bats into overdrive in the 3rd inning as Sajan Brouwer started with a walk, Brady Knelsen and Jack Tiessen singled to load the bases. Lucas Penner and Vito Alfano both walked sending in 2 runs. Matt Thomas took a 50+ MPH fastball off the shoulder blade to walk in another run. Derek Neufeld hit a hard grounder to second that was just too hot to handle scoring 2 runs. The Tecumseh pitcher was feeling the pressure and Riley Wiebe took a bean ball off the helmet to gain first base. Sajan Brouwer up for the second time in the inning singled to centre but Tecumseh was able to pick off a baserunner on his way to third to end the rally.
Leamington was up 11-0 after 5 innings.
Jason Friesen took command again and struck out 2 batters – quick thinking by catcher Matt Thomas to question the base umpire about a check swing helped Jason’s cause. Jack Tiessen remained steady at shortstop catching a fly ball to end the inning. With the temperatures soaring the Lakers kept hot and Brady Knelsen took one for the team and ended up on first base after getting hit by a pitch. Jack Tiessen singled to centre, Noah George, and Lucas Penner walked. Matt Thomas and Derek Neufeld singled to give the Lakers a 15-0 lead. With the game on the line Tecumseh managed a double and single but Jason Friesen stayed poised on the mound and seemed to throw the fastest pitches he threw all weekend for a strikeout to end the game.
The Lakers became OBA Champions by mercy rule with the score 15-1 after 5 innings.
Jason Friesen pitched a stellar game striking out 8, allowing 3 hits and 1 run while facing 19 batters. The Lakers dominated the OBA Championship ending 4 of the 5 games they played in a mercy rule. They accumulated an amazing 65 runs while only allowing 10 runs.
Coach Jake Neufeld won his first ever OBA Championship. Coach Jeff Thomas recorded his first OBA Championship in the coaching position but he had won 3 OBA Championships as a player. The boys were in awe when Coach Randy Brown told them this was his 9th OBA Championship! This was his first as a coach and he admitted this one was just as special as the ones he won as a player.
The OBA champions celebrated with a pizza party and a parade through Wheatley.
Thanks to all the families and friends who came out to support the boys all season long, and to Unifab Enclosures for their sponsorship. A special thanks to the coaches for the endless hours of guidance and dedication.
The Mosquito Lakers dominated the OBA championship, ending 4 of the 5 games they played in a mercy rule.
