I need someone to edit Wikipedia for us Canadians. Porch geese caught on with Southwestern Ontarians sometime before 1995, because I enjoyed looking at them through my childhood. Look at this more recent article about one Windsorites' porch goose garment collection.

I didn't know porch geese were a regional quirk until I moved out of Southwestern Ontario! Nobody has these lovely ladies out here. I may buy one for myself now lol

"Windsorite Sent to Jail," Border Cities Star. April 5, 1934. Page 19. ---- Daniel Eotuos Draws Three-Month Term At Chatham Under Excise Act --- Arrest Seen as Cutting Off Important Source Of Bootleg Liquor ---- From Chatham Bureau of The Border Cities Star CHATHAM, April 5.- Daniel Eotuos, of 1249 Marentette avenue, Windsor, convicted in Chatham Police Court on a charge of being in possession of illicit liquor, was sentenced yesterday by Magistrate S. B. Arnold to three months in jail. His truck in which the liquor was found by provincial police was ordered confiscated under the Excise Act.

SUPPLY CUT OFF POLICE believe that with the arrest of Eotuos an important source of hootch supply for speakeasies has been dried up. He was arrested late at night last week while, it is alleged, he was making the rounds of the pigs with a view to disposing of the hootch. Approximately six and a half gallons of alcohol and moonshine were seized. Because it was not legally manufactured liquor under the Liquor Control Act, the case was turned over to Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who laid the charge under the Excise Act.

The R. C. M. P. also took a hand in the affairs of Prince Jackson, colored, of 259 King street east. Jack- son was arrested by city police as a material witness in the murder charge of Louis Gurista and was subsequently sentenced to two months in jail for keeping liquor for sale.

ADDITIONAL CONVICTION Basing their charge under the Excise Act because the liquor that had been found in a search of his home was moonshine, Constable Wilson of the R. C. M. P. secured an additional conviction yesterday. The sentence was a $200 fine or three months, the term to run concurrently with the previous sentence under the Liquor Control Act. A third Excise Act charge was handled by the Mounties in the Chatham court, and another car was confiscated.

A three-month sentence was also meted out to a man who had already been sentenced to two months under the Liquor Control Act. He was Isadore Penninch of Merlin.

Penninch was caught several weeks ago by Provincial Traffic Officer William Woods of Blenheim near Guilds. When his car was searched, 78 quarts of alcohol were found.

CAR CONFISCATED When the original charge was heard, provincial authorities asked for the confiscation of the car, but the magistrate declined to make the order. When the Excise Act charge succeeded, the car automatically became confiscated by the federal authorities. Sentence on Mrs. Mary Janssenns, 20, was deferred for a month by Magistrate Arnold. She was convicted two weeks ago on a charge of immorality in the home of her child.

Pending sentence, she was released in the care of her father. Meanwhile her husband, John Janssens, a Hollander, is awaiting trial in London on a charge of armed robbery of a drug store a week ago.

The Windsor Star has a lengthy article on Bill Kovinsky, the first reported Canadian to die from AIDS. “Forgotten No More: The Story of the First Man to Die of AIDS in Canada” by Trevor Wilhelm (21 June 2022).

Bill Kovinsky couldn’t have known how significant his death would be — most of Canada still doesn’t know. The lifelong Windsorite was the first reported person in Canada to die from AIDS, before the epidemic even had a name. [...] But in historical records and government websites, he is referred to simply as a case from March 1982 — the first time his death was chronicled in a medical report. No name. No recognition. Just a number. His family thought he died of pneumonia. Kovinsky, who died at 43, spent his short life trying to hide who he was from the world. Then it forgot about him.

Today in Great Lakes shipping history bonus story.

Windsorites reflect on vessel that capsized underneath Ambassador Bridge 60 years ago

DETROIT RIVER – It took months to remove the vessel from the Detroit River

Even though Neil Cornwall was only nine years old, he remembers how big of a spectacle it was when a large freighter capsized on its side in the middle of the Detroit River 60 years ago.

On July 30, 1962, a British freighter called the M.V. Montrose hit a barge in the shipping lane of the Detroit River as it was backing out of the Detroit Harbour Terminal.

The collision created a huge hole in Montrose’s hull causing water to pour in and the propeller rose out of the water, causing the freighter to become stranded underneath the Ambassador Bridge.

In the months it took for the vessel to be removed from the waterway, it drew large crowds of people from both sides of the border who wanted to take in the unusual sight. “Everybody and anybody wanted to go and see this thing that was sunk in the middle of the river,” said Cornwall, who previously worked at CBC News.

At the time, pedestrians could pay to walk across the Ambassador Bridge and that’s exactly what Cornwall and his brothers did. “It was bizarre. You walked out there and you leaned over and here was this ship literally on its side you can see the hull, you can see there was stuff that had come out of it that was floating around, but it was just a bizarre, bizarre circumstance,” he said.

The 122-metre, 7,000-ton ship was new and cost between $6 million and $8 million. It cost $750,000 to salvage the freighter, which stayed on its side in nine metres of water until October. It left Detroit on Nov. 9, 1962.

Windsor Port Authority harbour master Peter Berry said that although he didn’t experience the Montrose situation first-hand, he’s familiar with the story. “During those times it was much more common for vessels to get into trouble, but for a collision of this type, very, very unusual,” he said. He said it likely slowed down shipping traffic in the Detroit River, but wouldn’t have stopped it completely as it wasn’t large enough to do so.

This event, he said, changed the way ship traffic was managed in that area where they focused more on navigation in the channel. “You can hear now as the vessels go under the bridge, the horns, the three horns as they go by, indicating they are passing underneath the bridge and coming to that turn so everybody’s aware that there’s another vessel or there’s a vessel coming,” he said.

In the end, Berry said the Montrose did sail again under a different name. But, he added, it ended up sinking a second time in Cleveland and that it eventually became a barge.

Former Windsorite turned Hollywood sculptor creates bronze bust of hockey legend Bob Probert

Former Windsorite turned Hollywood sculptor creates bronze bust of hockey legend Bob Probert

When Windsorite Nick Marra first met a young hockey player named Bob Probert at a preseason game at Windsor Arena back in the mid 1980’s, he had no idea that Probert was destined to become a NHL legend. When Marra read the game program and saw that the two shared Windsor as a home town, he decided to introduce himself to Probert. The pair hit it off pretty quickly and were soon hanging out at…

"A Typical Windsor Family Visited By Mayor," Border Cities Star. May 30, 1933. Page 6. ---- HERE is one of the Windsor families in the Kapuskasing district of Northern Ontario, visited last week by Mayor Croll and Controller Gignac. The mayor is at the left, while Mr. Gignac, the other man with a white collar, is near the right of the picture. Notice the gauntness of the group, the family of Joseph Gelinas. Armand, the oldest son, is at the right. The father was absent. Below is a typical settler's home in the Windsor-settled area of swampland and stumps.

"Windsor Family in Harty District Welcomes Mayor Croll and Controller Gignac to "Croll's Corners," Named After the Mayor," Border Cities Star. May 30, 1933. Page 3. ---- In the tour from which they hurried back to Windsor to rush relief funds north to families they describe as "starving," Mayor Croll and Controller Gignac visited 28 families. The centre picture shows one of them, the Shank family, in the Harty area. The mayor and the controller, with axes on their shoulders, are shown, second and first from the left, outside the Shank cabin. At the extreme left, another ex-Windsorite, named Gammon, who acted as their guide throughout the district, is shown helping Shank operate a stump-pulling rig, while the women-folk look on. Piles of brush and stump is in the Immediate background, stumps still to be pulled are in the foreground, and in the distance is a the tangle of forest and underbrush out of which land must be cleared.

As vaccine rollouts accelerate in Ontario, those in disability communities are still wondering why they have not been prioritized.

Windsor disability advocate Kevin McShan says prioritizing disabled people for vaccination is important due to many having more vulnerabliities to COVID-19.

"Certainly for people with disabilities they're in a higher risk group, so we would hope that it [vaccination] would be faster than it's been."

Currently there is no vaccination timeline by the province for those with disabilities outside congregate settings.

Female sledge hockey players from across Canada are heading to the sleepy town of Amherstburg, Ont. as 24 athletes vie for one of 15 spots on the women's national team.

Former Paralympic wheelchair racer, two-time Paralympic medallist and Windsorite, Jessica Matassa is among those looking for a spot. She's been on the team for the last three years.

Although she's looking forward to another exciting year of hockey, what Matassa and her teammates really want is to be recognized nationally by Hockey Canada, just as the Canadian men's sledge hockey team is. The recognition would bring funding and payment to her team.

"It's been a bit of an issue of contention trying to get picked up by them," said Matassa. "We're our own organization, it's all volunteers, all athletes on our team are not paid to play."
