Kingsville

A 52-year-old man is facing child exploitation charges after the OPP completed an investigation.

Two locations in Kingsville were searched last week with several devices seized by the Child Sexual Exploitation Unit.

The Kingsville resident is charged with accessing, possessing, creating, and making available child sexual abuse material, as well as arranging to commit an offense on a minor.

A petroleum man has been charged following a crash Wednesday on the 401 in Tecumseh.

The OPP say it happened just before 2 p.m. near Provincial Road, with the vehicle somehow driven into a guardrail.

I know it's a legendar- it's legendary, but I've, I just don't s- know anything about it, so I'm gonna be educating myself and either adding on to your information about it or educating you as well.

Jack Miner established his bird sanctuary near Kingsville, Ontario in 1904, creating one of the earliest private waterfowl sanctuaries in North America.

In 1909, he began banding migratory waterfowl to learn where the birds traveled, and information gathered through his banding program helped document migration routes across the continent.

His work became part of the early conservation movement that ultimately led to greater international protection for migratory birds, including the 1916 Migratory Birds Convention between Canada and the United States.

And so, uh, you know, I, I have to remind people who come here when we start with that story that, um, you know, that hunting and conservation are entwined.

You know, uh, ev- all the hunters that come to the sanctuary here, uh, they'll give their left arm to, to help with conservation efforts here.

And it took somebody who understood the ebbs and flows of that tradition and, uh, and, and the wildlife that he was depending on for survival to, to protect it, you know? And, uh, so at the age of 13, he ends up here in Kingsville.

Miner family assumes they'll be farmers, and they start, uh, instead, farming clay.

The government says the intention is to avoid costly and lengthy labor disputes.

Okay, every day up until the municipal election, we are interviewing a mayoral candidate from a municipality in Windsor, Essex.

And we are continuing with candidates from the beautiful municipality of Kingsville.

And joining us this morning is Thomas Neufeld, who is currently a Kingsville counselor.

You've been a counselor for 12 years, and he's now running for the mayor's spot.

Good morning.

I guess some of your priorities, like things that you're like, if I was elected mayor and maybe just outside of that more, more tangible things, what would you like to put in place?

Well, again, to start is really that public engagement piece, bringing back our committees of council.

Again, the taxes is across Ontario, really, but Kingsville is not immune to those pressures.

Just search mornings with Mike and Meg on your podcast app.

And today we go further south into Kingsville.

Very nice.

Joining us this morning is Dennis Rogers.

Thank you for joining us pretty early here on a Thursday morning.

I guess we'll start with some of your priorities.

If you were to be reelected, what are some of your priorities, some of the promises that you would like to deliver to the residents of Kingsville?

Yeah, so this past term, I ran on us putting together a long-term strategic plan.

The OPP arrested two more, despite continued warnings that they would be caught and dealt with.

The first was around 8 p.m. Friday, when a traffic stop on County Road 20 near McCain Side Road in Kingsville led to the arrest of a 32-year-old Windsor man.

The second was early Sunday morning on County Road 20 near Isla Road in Essex.
