Tragic collision claims two young lives

On September 17, 2017, at approximately 12:15 a.m., the Leamington Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Leamington Fire Services and Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to a motor vehicle collision in the 1100 block of Mersea Road 5 in Leamington.

A motor vehicle struck a cement barrier, rupturing a large carbon dioxide (CO2) tank at a greenhouse property, resulting in an explosion and fire.

There were two people in the vehicle. Miranda Brown, age 21 of Wheatley, and Brandon Froese, age 26 of Leamington, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Mersea Road 5 was closed between Highway 77 and Mersea Road 12 for approximately 6 hours. The investigation into the collision by the OPP’s Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) is ongoing.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help the families with funeral expenses.

A fundraising event is also planned. “Cruise for Brandon & Miranda” is on Sunday, September 24 starting at 4 p.m. at Great Canadian Oil Change, 24 Seacliff Dr. E., Leamington.

Damage pegged at $450,000 for downtown fire

By Bryan Jessop A downtown apartment building and restaurant were gutted by a Friday morning blaze in Leamington, although a dramatic rescue prevented any serious injuries.

The Darina Shawarma and Bakery on the east side of Erie Street North, immediately north of The Gingerbread House Family Restaurant, took on extensive damage from a fire reported to Leamington Fire Services at 7:02 a.m.

Friday, Sept. 15. Upon arrival, Leamington firefighters spotted an adult male leaning out of a second-floor window yelling for assistance. With a stairway at the back of the building connecting the two floors destroyed by the early effects of the blaze, the man was trapped in the apartment above the building.

Firefighters placed a ladder under the window and extracted the individual from the smoke-filled structure before turning their attention to the building itself. The man was treated for minor smoke inhalation and released a short time later. There were no other occupants in the restaurant or either of the two apartments at the time of the fire.

“I saw a guy hanging out of the window yelling ‘help! help!’ and called 9-1-1,” explained Vickie Dorey, who was

Leamington Fire Services and the Kingsville Fire Department work together to extinguish a blaze near the intersection of Erie Street and Talbot Street in Leamington on the morning of Friday, Sept. 15.

Leamington firefighters rescued one occupant of the Erie Street North apartment through the window using a ladder. The man was then sent to hospital. One report of minor smoke inhalation was the only injury caused by the incident, which is still under investigation.

In total, 39 firefighting personnel tended to the scene — 19 from Leamington Fire Services, nine from the Kingsville Fire Department and another nine from Lakeshore who were assigned mostly to standby duty along with the two pumper trucks they brought. The LFS utilized both of its aerial trucks while another was brought in from Kingsville. Pumper trucks from both Leamington and Kingsville were used to bring the fire under control by 12:44 p.m.

Leamington Fire Services estimated the damage to the building — including contents — at $450,000. The Ontario Fire Marshall’s office was contacted for consultation, although the Fire Marshall was not called to the scene. The cause of the blaze has been filed as undetermined, although it is believed that it initially broke out near the back of the building on the main floor.

Leamington Fire Services deputy chief Mike Bradt explained that the building was too unstable for firefighters to enter. Whether or not the restaurant and two apartment units directly above it will be demolished will ultimately be determined by the owners’ insurance company. Despite the close proximity of the neighbouring building — Mix’d Viet Fusion Foods — the structures are divided by separate walls and the more northerly of the two was affected by only smoke and minor water damage.

Ode to an alma mater

As I drove past Mill Street school this past week, it looked very sad and quiet.

Dan Dewaele’s post as crossing guard was empty and the chatter of kids running back and forth across the schoolyard was a distant memory.

When the school board initially announced that they were closing Gore Hill, I was disappointed that one of my alma maters could be meeting the wrecking ball.

When they did a turnabout and replaced Gore Hill with Mill Street on their hit list, I knew I was still going to be losing one of my alma maters.

Driving past, I couldn’t help but think of all the people I passed in those hallways all those years ago and all the friends I still have to this day.

I think I’ve been by that school thousands of times since graduating from there in 1975.

Back in those days, Mill Street was a fairly new school, having been built in 1967 for Canada’s centennial.

Most people know that the building was constructed in the shape of a maple leaf and it’s still visible some 50 years later from Google Earth.

When the original Mill Street Public School closed its doors at the corner of Mill and Princess, the new one opened as a senior public school, housing only Grades 7 and 8. That forced all of the other area public schools to cut off their classes after Grade 6 and all of the Grade 6 and 7 students were shipped to Mill Street, including myself and all of my Gore Hill classmates.

Before we got to Mill, the school’s reputation preceded it. Stories of drug use, fights and general delinquency filled our minds as reports came back from older siblings who had moved on to the big senior public school.

I remember being scared to death on that first day.

As the school year progressed, I started to make some new friends who had come from other feeder schools and we got along just fine.

We soon learned the personalities of all the teachers, some of whom had reputations we’d heard of before arriving there too.

There was Mr. Brady, who was funny, quirky and generally well liked by the kids.

Over in art class, Mr. Friesen gave us our first taste of pointillism, shading and still life drawing. I never could get that apple and wine bottle on the table just right.

Mr. Friesen still judges the art at the Leamington Fair to this day.

Mrs. Hall was our music teacher. We gave her a hard time.

She held it together in spite of all of the kids being disruptive most of the time.

Mr. Zdonek was the science teacher and it was always rumoured that he had a flask hidden somewhere. You know how kids talk.

MARK RIBBLE

We all experienced class rotation for the first time at Mill.

Rib’s My first ever homeroom Ramblings teacher was Miss Van Diessen.

She later became Mrs. Wiper.

My Grade 8 homeroom teacher was Mrs. Ingratta, who I’ve mentioned before in this column. I always found her firm but fair and to this day she’s the only one who called me out on not reaching my full potential.

I played on the school softball team in Grade 8, coached

by Miss Greenwood.

Leamington’s centennial happened while I was attending school there. I remember a very young Bob Seger and his band performing here in 1974.

Mill Street was a fun time for me and I found it helped me transition from a naive country bumpkin to a sophisticated city slicker.

I witnessed my first school versus school fight at the park between St. Louis and Mill Street. I was torn because a lot of my new neighbourhood friends went to St. Louis.

My only schoolyard injury occurred in that gym. I was put in charge of handing out sports equipment at lunchtime in that small room beside the stage. One day, while closing up shop, the heavy garage door there got away from me and I put my hands up to stop it from falling too fast, only to get my index finger caught between the sections of door. Boy did that hurt. I spent the next few days wandering around in pain, unable to write or participate in any sports. To this day when I close a garage door, I think about the pain that injury caused.

That gym seemed so large to us kids who came from Gore Hill, but it wasn’t large compared to what we would encounter when we got to high school.

A mere two years there didn’t seem like enough, but it did what it was supposed to do and prepared us for the hectic life when we got to LDSS. As a young adult, I played slo-pitch on the ball diamond at the corner of Marlborough and Lutsch.

As a father, I coached my kids, who practiced their baseball on that same schoolyard.

Later in life, I played three or four years of rec co-ed volleyball in the gym and saw the inside of the school for the first time since leaving there in June of 1975. Not much had changed at all and that gym that seemed so large 25 years earlier had apparently shrunk, because it seemed tiny.

It’s too bad that the board has to make the decision to close schools that have been a part of the community for so many years, but that’s progress and it pains me to think that Mill Street was a mere seven years old when I arrived there and the building was closed at 50.

I guess I’m older than I thought.

Former Leamington resident Curtis Driedger, now in Peterborough, writes: “In the fall of 1995, a ’53 Ford sedan was for sale for $800 near where we lived. I talked with my wife Barbara, and we bought the car.

“I parked it in a greenhouse and spent the winter under it with flakes of rust falling gently down on my face as I repaired the rotted-out floor. Apparently the car had sat in a field for a number of years.

“With some help and encouragement, most notably from the late Percy Bourne, I got that old Ford fixed up and painted and on the road. It was through Percy that I learned about, and joined, the newly formed Southern Ontario Regional Group #149 of the Early Ford V8 Club.

“The gentleman I bought the car from was a legendary Peterborough country musician named George McIllmoyle. He sold the car because he felt he wasn’t physically up to doing the necessary repair work.

“One day in the winter of ’96 I was driving into Peterborough on Hwy 115 and saw up ahead a flatbed truck carrying an old car. It was red. As I drew closer, I saw that it was a ’49 Meteor. I wondered where that car might be going.

“My question was answered on the first cruise night of the spring season. There was George McIllmoyle behind the wheel of that same red Meteor!

“Now fast forward to 2002. Our furnace man was interested in the ’53 so we traded it to him for a new furnace. Then one day I saw that George Mcllmoyle was selling his Meteor. I had to have it! And we’ve had it ever since.

“It is a Meteor Custom Fordor sedan. It may not have the original motor but it is a 239 cubic inch flathead V8 fitted with stainless steel dual exhausts. There is a story behind this ex-

haust system. George McIllmoyle, a musician, experimented with three different sets of mufflers before he settled on the pair that had the best sound. A musician myself, I appreciate his choice and have recorded this exquisite exhaust burble by positioning a microphone at the back of the car.

“This car was probably rebuilt back in the ’60s. The interior is white tufted naugahyde in the style popular then with customizers. The side trim was removed for the smoothie look and the car was repainted inside and out in a cherry colour, which is why we call the car ‘Cherry Bomb’.

“It has been a pleasure and an honour to own this made-inCanada car.”

LMHS announces First Families award co-winner

By C. Scott Holland The Leamington-Mersea Historical Society has announced its third Heritage Award: the John Huy family is a co-winner of the Heritage or Historic First Families award.

John Huy was born in Yugoslavia in 1931. At the end of WWII, his family moved to Germany and ultimately immigrated to Canada around 1948.

Like his father, John took up farming and soon became very active in affairs associated with the profession. In 1960, not long after his father had passed away, John began with a quarter-acre of glass greenhouses. He became a director for the Growers Committee Marketing Board in 1961 and was one of the very first in Ontario to grow long English cucumbers and eggplant.

Mr. Huy was a board member of the Federation of Agriculture and at an annual Grower’s Convention/Show in the early 1970s he was one of several men who gave a talk on “Impressions of European Greenhouses”. During that same period of time he served on the Ontario Asparagus Marketing Board.

While served as a leader of the farming community, Mr. Huy set trends in the industry, among them being the first to implement lighting to stimulate and extend growth. He imported cucumber seed from Holland in 1972, distributed it to growers in the Leamington region and continued to sell the seeds through RZH Canada until he retired in 2009.

In 1980, John Huy was the first to grow cucumbers on substrate (growing plants by using a material other than soil) and was instrumental in converting the industry to use this method. He has given advice to many area farmers and aided them in prospering with their various crops.

Mr. Huy’s tenure as leadership of the farming community continued as he served on the Ontario Growers Vegetable Board. During this period with the board he helped guide it through some difficult times.

In the 1980s and 1990s, he developed new varieties of cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, all designed specially for the Leamington area. His many methods increased production and profit.

With his son Howard taking over the family farm on the 7th Concession, even in retirement John has remained committed to the betterment of the greenhouse industry.

Periodically he still helps out on the farm.

Often Mr. Huy’s views went against the grain, but his aim was always to improve the industry.

The Leamington-Mersea Historical Society salutes the John Huy family for prospering in a new life here and helping others in the Leamington area by sharing their farming knowledge. They will be honored at the Society’s 20th Annual Heritage Awards Night on Friday, November 3 at the Leamington Roma Club. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and dinner is at 6:30. Advance tickets only.

Other winners include the Peter Enns family (Heritage or Historic First Family), Leamington Lions Club (Heritage or Historic Organizations), the late Robert Schmidt (Heritage Contribution - Posthumous) and Grant Bowman (Heritage Contribution - Living).

For more info regarding tickets for the awards dinner, sponsorships or donations, contact Leamington-Mersea Historical Society president Paul Bunnett-Jones at pbunnettjones@cogeco.ca or by calling 519-326-1691.

CiB selects August Fabulous Garden Display winners

By Catherine Riediger They call August the dog days of summer, but I have enjoyed our summer this year even though it slipped by far too quickly. The CiB Floral and Landscape Committee have once again chosen two great gardens for the month of August and were very pleased to present the awards to the following.

Bui Trang and her family have lived at 12 Hayward Street for the last five years. Bui is the gardener and over that time has added a lot of colour and variety to this garden. She confesses she loves gardening and it is obvious. Her urns on the front porch are full of petunias and the large urns beside the garage are gorgeous with red dipladenia. As you look a little further into her garden you will see she has included several interesting features such as a birdbath, a fountain

and a twirling metal windmill.

Bui keeps the foundation shrub plants nicely trimmed and shaped. The driveway is lined with several lilac coloured and white Rose of Sharon as well as lilac bushes, and up the side of her home she has beautiful pink hydrangea.

As you view this garden you will see that it’s full of soothing colours and gentle sounds i.e. trickling water.

Mario and Elenna DiMenna reside at 359 Seacliff Drive West. As you look at the DiMenna home you are immediately drawn to the stately and elegant large red oleander trees that frame the front garden.

In keeping with Canada’s 150th Anniversary theme, two large urns on either side of the entrance off Seacliff Drive are planted with red and white impatiens along with a red oleander shrub.

The urns are underplanted with a variety of perennials such as white hydrangeas, hostas, mums and small evergreens.

Mario has a great eye for balance and colour and the visual effect is stunning. There are sev- Leamington Communities in Bloom Fabulous Garden Display winner for eral flowerbeds throughout the front garden and the month of August is Bui Trang at 12 Hayward. he has planted a variety of red and pink roses, white hydrangea shrubs and small sculpted evergreen shrubs.

There are also two large white flowering hydrangea trees (about 20 years old) planted at the corners of their home and two beautiful mimosa or silk trees which are currently putting on a show with fragrant pink blooms.

Two beautiful urns planted with large elephant ear (Colocasia) grace the front porch. It is evident that Mario spends a lot of time in his garden and he has a passion for gardening.

The curb appeal is fabulous and it is certainly worth slowing down to view as you pass Leamington Communities in Bloom Fabulous Garden Display winners for the month of August are Elenna and Mario (absent from photo) DiMenna at 359 Seacliff Dr. W. by on Seacliff Drive.

Local fundraiser supports Miracle League

By Pat Bailey When Patrick Adams first discovered the Miracle League of Amherstburg, he admitted he was afraid of the group’s mascot.

Not only has the 16-year-old overcome that fear, he has actually become the mascot.

Patrick, who attends Western Secondary School and lives with Asberger’s Syndrome, which is a high functioning disorder on the autism spectrum, joined the league about three years ago and has discovered a newfound confidence and also some new friends.

The Miracle League includes athletes ranging in age from about 4-65, all with varying abilities, who play baseball together on a field in Amherstburg that is accessible for players in wheelchairs or who use walkers.

Patrick’s mom Tara Adams said the league is Patrick Adams, 16, shows off a video of himself as the mascot during a the “most upbeat organization – I think it’s fabu- fundraiser at Erie Glen Manor for the Miracle League of Amherstburg on September 9.

Tara said the camaraderie is amazing and gives the athletes a place to feel safe, while having fun.

something to help.

She said she got immediate support from Erie Glen Manor, as well as local businesses in the community.

“The support,” she said, “has been wonderful.”

Morgan had friends and family baking and putting together treat bags, and several businesses kicked in with silent auction items or cash donations.

“I was more than happy with the support,” she said.

On Saturday, Erie Glen hosted a little fundraiser aimed at helping chip in with the cost of a wheelchair accessible swing at the accessible playground that adjoins the Miracle League ball diamond.

The Liberty Swing costs $48,000 and Kathy hoped to just put a dent in the cost. The fundraiser was a success, raising over $1,300 toward the project.

More importantly, she said, is making more people aware of the Miracle League and all that it has to offer.

Take it from Patrick, “It’s a great field.”

Fourth annual Highway 77 Clean Up

Four years ago, Orangeline Farms made a commitment to the community of Leamington and to the province of Ontario that they would keep a stretch of Highway 77 clean. On Saturday, Sept. 9 they once again made good on their promise.

Orangeline Farms, with their brand Zing! Health Forward, held a “Trash Bash” in order to celebrate the occasion. Nearly 100 employees donned orange shirts and gloves, grabbed garbage bags and headed out to the highway to pick up trash.

Once back from their pick up duties, they were treated to refreshments and played some games.

“The event was a huge success,” said Jordan Kniaziew, VP of Marketing and Sales. “It was great to see the camaraderie of our team not only picking up garbage, but playing games together afterwards.”

Zing! Health Forward is not only a brand, it is also a movement towards a healthy lifestyle for not only their team members but their customers as well.

“A healthy lifestyle doesn’t begin and end with ourselves. Aside from Lubina Reyes of Orangeline Farms welcomes the assistance of cleaning our environment, a Monarch butterfly while she and about 100 co-workers from we collect rainwater for irOrangeline Farms again took to the shoulders of Highway 77 for rigation to feed our crops. a cleanup project Saturday, Sept. 9.

Balancing health and wellness is a natural fit for the brothers. They encourage individuals to take the time to eat healthy and be active.

“The decision to participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program is one small way we can give back to our community and show our gratitude,” said Jordan.

New partner joins Poor Boy Luncheon

By Bryan Jessop Fittingly enough, an annual fundraiser feeding the supporters of a charitable cause now involves an organization that feeds populations in need from around the world.

The 18th annual Poor Boy Luncheon, organized by a committee of 11 volunteers led by John Woelk of Century 21 Leamington, took place at The Roma Club along with the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners.

The event served up chili, veggies, wieners, coleslaw, soups, beverages and desserts Wednesday, Sept. 13 in support of both the Gleaners and the Leamington and Area Toys 4 Tots.

This year’s luncheon eclipsed the $9,404 raised in 2016 for Toys 4 Tots and Erie Shores hospice with a sum of over $10,000. More than 500 guests purchased tickets this year at either $8 in advance or $10 at the door on the day of the two-and-ahalf hour luncheon. Seventy-five per cent of proceeds will go toward the Gleaners while the remaining 25 per cent benefit the local Toys 4 Tots program. Funds were raised through ticket sales as well as from two raffle draws — one featuring more than 60 items donated by local businesses, individuals and organizations and another with prizes including a six-person fishing trip, a care package from John’s Auto, a clock and a bicycle.

Proceeds also came courtesy of different levels of sponsorship — gold ($500 and up), silver ($250 to $499) and bronze ($100 to $249). This year’s gold sponsors included Windsor Laser Cutting Inc., Leamington GM, Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens, the Roma Club and Neil and Tina Quiring. Six silver and 15 bronze sponsors offered their support this year, as did a list SOUTHPOINT

This marked the first year the Gleaners both volunteered for and benefited from proceeds raised by the event, again organized by a committee led by John Woelk of Century 21.

of more than 40 supporters who offered services, supplies and/or raffle prizes free of charge.

Woelk credited members of his committee, members of the public who attended the luncheon, a team of about 50 volunteers and the Gleaners for the success of this year’s fundraiser.

“They’ve got a really good volunteer base who’ve done a great job of selling tickets and getting sponsors,” Woelk said of the Gleaners.

“Partnering with the Gleaners has worked out great — they’re a wonderful cause.”

The Southwestern Ontario Gleaners’ most recent project focused on shipping 40,000 pounds of nine dif-

ferent products to three remote communities in northern Ontario as well as food banks in Thunder Bay, St. Ignac and Dryden. Cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions, beets, dehydrated soup mix and canned pasta sauce donated by a local packer are being shipped at an estimated value of more than $30,000.

The Thunder Bay-area delivery is being made possible in part through the donated use of a truck courtesy of Jim Tatomir.

“We’ve got all the right pieces in place — we’ve just got to get the folks from Ottawa and Toronto to get on board with us,” said Gleaners past chairperson Vern

Toews.

The luncheon’s current committee has been planning each of the yearly events since taking over the organizational role in 2014.

Committee meetings begin four months prior to the luncheon with what Woelk described as an “intense” preparation process in the week leading up to the day of the event.

“This has been an amazing turnout,” said Gleaners current chairperson Tina Quiring during the luncheon. “John (Woelk) has been a great member of the community. We can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done here.”

The committee’s next an-

The Southpoint Sun -13

nual endeavor will be the Soup and Salad fundraiser at The Portuguese Club, slotted for Wednesday, Nov. 29. The event is the group’s largest gathering of the year, drawing crowds averaging 800 guests in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Advance tickets — $8 each — are available at Leamington Century 21, the Portuguese Club and the South Essex Community Council office on Talbot Street East.

The Southpoint Sun -15

Essex Powerlines join Hurricane Irma relief effort A crew from Essex Powerlines left on September 13 to join the relief effort of the severe damage caused by Hurricane Irma in Florida.

After a call for assistance was issued, the crew consisting of Powerline Maintainers headed for Florida. The Essex Powerlines crew joined other crews in an organized convoy of Southwestern Ontario utilities. Crews are assisting Tampa Electric in their efforts to restore power to tens of thousands. There were 7 million homes and businesses without power across the state.

“We are pleased that we are able to do our part to help so many affected by this devastating hurricane”, stated Mayor Ken Antaya, Chair of Essex Powerlines Board. “We wish all

those affected by the hurricane’s path well.”

Essex Powerlines has answered requests for help before as a result of natural disasters.

In 2005, Essex Powerlines crews travelled to Louisiana and Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and again provided assistance in 2012 when Superstorm Sandy devastated New Jersey.

The crew is expected to be gone for approximately 2 weeks.

Essex Powerlines provides power to over 29,000 residents and businesses in Leamington, Amherstburg, LaSalle and Tecumseh.

BRYAN JESSOP

“Teaming” with pride

did further west. A Japanese giant hornet located a swarm of unsuspecting bees and went in for the attack. It was not, however, greeted by the same unorganized, bewildered response as in Europe. Several of the Japanese bees quickly counterattacked, forming a large ‘ball’ that encased the hornet.

Apparently, the Japanese giant hornet has a maximum heat threshold of 115ºC. The Japanese honeybee can withstand temperatures of 122ºC. Somehow, the bees are fully aware of this and generated enough friction with their wings to create a little buzzing oven of precisely 117ºC. By the time all was said and done, they were not worse for wear and had left an oversized, crispy, dead-as-a-doornail hornet in their wake.

The end.

In short, the Japanese hive put on a tremendous display of teamwork. In the European bees’ defense, they haven’t had nearly as much time to come up with a solution to the relatively new predator. Regardless, the point has been proven. Most of us have heard our fair share of post-game interviews with the head coaches of teams who’ve just been pummelled by the opposition. A common term is “we played like a group of individuals,” whereas the coach of a team that just finished a convincing win might describe his roster as a “cohesive unit” or words to that effect.

In the very early stages of the 2017-18 junior hockey season, I’ve seen a couple performances that sort of reminded me of the clever and persevering Japanese honeybees. It’s really too early to predict what’s going to unfold, but it looks like both the GOJHL Leamington Flyers and PJHL Wheatley Sharks could be forces to be reckoned with this season.

The first Flyers game I witnessed this year with a finalized lineup was their home opener against LaSalle, ending in an 8-3 victory for Leamington. The first time I saw the Sharks compete was with a close to complete roster in a pre-season tilt against the 4-0-0 Blenheim Blades. Wheatley won 9-2.

Both wins were the products of teams where each player seemed to know his role and where skaters seemed to have been working together for a couple months rather than the actual couple days.

The Flyers have since gone on to come from behind and beat the Sarnia Legionnaires (once known as the Sarnia Bees, for what it’s worth) in double overtime at the Brock Street Barn, a building that seemed to have a curse on the Leamington team not too long ago.

The Sharks lost their season opener 6-2 against the defending regular season champion Lakeshore CaAfter stopping by the FUTUR showroom, nadiens on Friday and reI just wanted to say how impressed I was sults for their home opener with the complete line of sticks that you against Blenheim weren’t carry. From the unique way of stocking the available by the time this sticks to the selection that you have on hand, your showroom is hard to beat. Over a thousand sticks to pick from in all kinds of models. I picked up a FUTUR VORTEX. I urge people to stop by and take a look.

I loved watching nature shows on TV when I was Jessop’s a kid. You could say that I Journal was fascinated with many episodes of many of those programs, often finding the day-to-day lives of many untamed species far more fascinating than the mundane goings on of human life.

One of the most interesting episodes of a series whose name escapes me focused on the dreaded Japanese giant hornet. These horrible flying devil bugs make our standard issue North American hornets (which I have hated immensely since being stung by one at the age of four) look like sweet, adorable little butterflies. The pain caused by their sting is said to be bested by only the bullet ant and the tarantula hawk (which is actually a large wasp), but as menacing as they can be to people, their presence is a MUCH bigger problem to the honeybee.

A swarm of 30 Japanese giant hornets can wipe out a hive of 10,000 European honeybees in about an hour. In the show I watched years ago, a single one of these hornets — averaging two inches in length — used its jaws to decapitate the hapless bees one by one. Being largely unfamiliar with the significantly larger predator, the European bees were kind of ridiculous to watch. It was not unlike a low-budget kick flick from the mid 1970s, where a gang of dimwitted thugs stand around and more or less wait their turn to be thumped one by one instead of all attacking their lone adversary simultaneously.

To make a long story short, the entire hive of European honeybees was eventually wiped out. The camera slowly spanned across the scene’s aftermath and not a single survivor could be spotted.

The same vicious invader — the largest hornet on Earth — isn’t quite as effective on its home turf. The Japanese honeybee is targeted with the same degree of aggression and ruthlessness, but the results are often far, far different.

The Japanese honeybee seemed no larger, faster, stronger, more agile or more durable than its European counterpart.

In fact, I honestly couldn’t tell them apart.

They are, however, smarter.

The scenario started out in much the same fashion as it

I love my FUTUR SONIC and the way it feels in my gloves. FUTUR Hockey Sticks are my number one pick for several reasons. It looks amazing, the weight of the stick is perfect, and I believe it has improved my stick handling because of the way it seems to melt into my hands. My Dad says you can’t beat the quality and price....and along with a warranty.

FUTUR Sticks are the only way to go if you are serious about hockey.

Progs golf results

On September 12 there were 54 Erie Shores Proggers who paid their $5 entry fee in hopes of being on a winning team or capitalizing on their awesome game for net skins. As it turned out, there was a close match and it was decided on the outcome of the last group. Team C and D were tied at +12. Wayne Gillett and Brett Madden were the two golfers whose score mattered. Luckily Wayne Gillett posted a +2 and unfortunately Brett limped in with a -7.

Winners on Team C were Bill Ruiter, Matt Dick, Mel Pace, Todd Hodgson, Ed Schachowskoy, Bill Slater, Ron Koop, Vic Tiessen, Wayne Quinn, Gord Anderson, Greg Gare, Carl Grossi, Ward Hutchins and Wayne Gillett.

Congratulations also go out to Ward Hutchins who will soon become a grandpa.

Greg Dunmore, with his +9, grabbed $20 for his best + score. Matt Dick followed with a +7 and $15. Gord Anderson, Henry Hildebrandt and Mel Davey each got $3 for their +6s.

Each skin was worth $8, signifying there were a lot of skins. The recipients include Bill Slater, Mel Davey, Ollie Mastronardi, Kevin Shaften, Geoff Dunmore, Carl Grossi, Gary McRae, Pete Andary and Matt Dick.

I played with Ron Tremblay, Gene Bouliane and Vic Tiessen. Ron started with a flourish with birdies on holes 1 and 2. He followed that up with doubles on 3 and 4. Then he regrouped, shooting a splendid 38 on the front 9. Ron did manage to talk himself into shooting 45 on the back 9. He remembered from a previous round that he did the same thing. As a result, he did it again.

Both Gene and I managed to miss the shortest of putts. We don’t know how it happens but it seems to occur all too frequently.

Vic Tiessen, a big farm boy, sure can smack that ball.

Vic either connects or not. When one is strong, sometimes the touch in chipping and putting are difficult to master. Too often, Vic said he was done and he hadn’t made the green yet. OUCH! Last week I forgot to mention that Ken Cobby won the snake with his 3 putt. On Sept. 12, Ward Hutchins 3 putted. He said it was his first 3 putt of the year. So sad.

Next week the group will be considerably smaller as many Proggers will be heading to Clare, Michigan, for the annual golf outing. We thank Mel Davey, Jack Martin and Matt Dick for taking over from us.

page had gone to press, but the signs are there — they too are a team that the opposition won’t likely look forward to facing as the weeks go by.

In both the aforementioned games, rookies and veterans alike were contributing toward the same objective. All too often, teams suffer when veterans get into the habit of resting on their laurels while jittery rookies make inexperienced mistakes and pay the price. There seemed to be none of that last week — return players were leading by example and newcomers kept their wits about them without trying to do too much to prove themselves.

I’ve always admired the teams that manage to find success without ridwould welcome a visit from you at ing the coattails of one or two superstars. My Montreal Canadiens have been blessed with some stellar netminding from the likes of Dryden, Roy and now Price, but since their run of four straight cups in the latter half of the ‘70s, haven’t really had many ‘franchise’ players who do the bulk of the scoring. Heck, as of late, they haven’t had ANYBODY do much in the way of scoring.

With a pretty uninspiring timeline of offseason wheeling and dealing this year, the ( 1 -8 7 7 -2 2 5-9111) Habs are going to have to be one well-oiled machine to make any noise in 2017-18.

Southpoint Novice AE players Tyler Thomas, AJ Youssef and Ben Liebrock prepare for a face-off.

Novice AEs face Riverside in home opener

Saturday, September 16 was the home opener for the Southpoint Capitals Novice AE team as they hosted their opponent the Riverside Rangers. Both teams were excited to play hockey and it showed right from the opening faceoff. Each side traded numerous chances as the play was back and forth at a furious pace.

Riverside was first on the scoreboard though, as they were able to pound in a rebound after Karly Franklin made a nice save on the initial shot. Southpoint had a few glorious chances to even the score, including three off the posts, but were unable to light the lamp.

After the Rangers added another goal in the second period, the young squad from Southpoint began the third ready and determined. Ty Thomas, after some hard work, was finally able to get the Caps on the board. Aidan Pulley and A.J. Youssef collected assists on the goal. Less than a minute later, Ty Thomas and Ben Liebrock set up Aidan Pulley to even the score at two apiece.

Unfortunately, Riverside could feel the heat and a few minutes later were able to sneak one by Nolan Meadows who had now taken over the goaltending duties.

Riverside was able to add another, making the score 4-2 with five minutes remaining, but there was no quitting with this Novice team. With a little over three minutes to go, Brayden Foster made a nice bank pass off the boards to Aidan Pulley who took off in full stride and made no mistake, burying his second goal of the game.

With the goalie pulled for an extra attacker and time ticking down, Southpoint was able to manage some pressure around the Rangers net but could not find the equalizer.

The final score was Riverside 4, Southpoint 3.

It was an inauspicious start for the Southpoint Capitals AE team this past weekend. The unseasonably warm temperatures made viewing difficult with the sweating panes of glass in the Unico arena. Despite early leads in both of the two home games, the Capitals found themselves losing both contests resulting in a 3-2 overall record.

In Friday night’s game, Southpoint took on the very talented Belle River Canadiens.

Southpoint net minder Noah Coatsworth looked very sharp coming up with two big saves in the early minutes of the first period. Owen Matthews opened up the scoring for the Southpoint Capitals, putting in a rebound initially shot by Hunter Kristensen. The Canadiens tied it up after great rushes by both squads.

In the second period, Ben Omar scored, assisted by Carson Stomp, off a great shot from the point by Carson Murracas for the Capitals. Omar netted his second goal, assisted by Ryan Goyeau and Carter Murracas, making it 3-1 for Southpoint, but Belle River netted their second soon after. “Weapon” Coatsworth again made an incredible save during offsetting penalties against a 2-man rush, but Belle River would not be denied.

After tying up the contest 3-3 late in the second, the Canadiens scored a short-handed goal, taking the lead, and added another in the third, giving the Capitals their first loss.

On Saturday afternoon the Capitals took on the LaSalle Sabres at the Highbury Canco Arena. Stomp opened the scoring for Southpoint off an assist by Omar. The same offensive line would score again, giving Southpoint at 2-0 early lead. Stomp would return the favour, assisting in the Omar goal. LaSalle came back with two quick goals of their own to tie the game. Both teams had excellent scoring opportunities late in the first but both goalies came up big.

LaSalle scored early in the second to take the lead. Capitals goalie Hunter Enns made a number of great saves to keep the contest close. Southpoint tied the game at three apiece late in the second off a goal by Kyle MacMillan, assisted by Omar and Stomp. The Sabres regained the lead late in the second.

Southpoint found themselves down 5-3 after an early third period goal but continued to fight hard. In a penalty-ridden third period, Kristensen, assisted by Matthews, brought Southpoint to within one, but time would eventually run out resulting in a 5-4 loss.

Game three of the weekend found Southpoint face-to-face with LaSalle for back-to-back games. First period started with both teams coming out strong and battling the puck. Cole Vaillancourt found the back of the LaSalle net, putting Southpoint on the board to start an exciting game, with assists by Nash Poisson and Carson Marracas. LaSalle answered back right away making it a 1-1 game.

In the second period, Southpoint’s Carson Marracas found the back of net, receiving a pass from Owen Jeffery and Ryan Goyeau to make it a 2-1 game. Thirty seconds later, Southpoint’s Hunter Kristensen scored, assisted by Ben Omar and Stomper.

In the third period, Southpoint’s fourth goal came from a successful penalty shot taken

by Ben Omar. LaSalle charged back, finalizing the game and making the final score 4-2.

Despite the losses the Capitals looked strong and remained competitive throughout all games. Strong net minding and transitional hockey continue to be key. Defensively, the Capitals have literally closed the gap, limiting quality shots and second chances. Offensively, the lines fly across the blue line in unison, resulting in quality drives and shots to the net. Overall result, over the first four games the Capitals have outscored their opponents 2416, and this is just the start.

Quality practices have the boys and parents excited and looking forward to a great hockey season. The team would like to thank all Growing their sponsors – your conSince 1921 tinued support is very much appreciated!

Atom Majors compete at Richmond Hill tourney The Southpoint Reid Funeral Home Atom Majors participated in the Richmond Hill Stars hockey tournament over the weekend. This tournament was comprised of teams from all over Southwestern Ontario and was nothing short of entertaining to watch.

In game 1 the Capitals faced the home team Richmond Hill Stars. The Stars got on the board first, but the Capitals were quick to respond back with a goal from Colton Selwood, assisted by Zack Liebrock. The Capitals continued to pressure the Stars with goals from Kaleb Jardim and Owen Deneau. Assists were from Holdyn Bailey and Zack Liebrock.

Andrew Demant played well in goal for the Capitals.

In Game 2 it was Caps versus the Kanata Blazers. This game was filled with end-to-end action and it was a very tight game to say the least. It was so tight that the Caps were on lockdown that evening to prepare for the following day, which would prove to be difficult, in order to proceed into the Sunday games. Liam Ouellette, Logan Lefaive, Liam Brown and Kaleb Jardim played well on the blue line.

Game 3 was a tough one. The Caps were faced with a tough challenge against the Erin Hillsburgh Devils who proved to be one of the toughest teams in the tournament. The Caps fell short in this one, but not without a fight from Matteo Pereira, Nicholas Brophy and Nicholas Mastromatteo.

Game 4 was tight as Southpoint faced North Toronto. This was the final game of the weekend and by far the most exciting. The stands were just that – standing only – as this proved to be by far the most exciting game of the tournament.

North Toronto opened up the scoring for a 1-0 lead and it remained that way for some time. Tomas Kniaziew had to perform at his best as North Toronto came at him with everything they had.

It was still a one goal game until late in the second period when Tyler Franklin put a straggler on Dayne Di Milo’s stick and he made no mistake. It was all net after that to tie the game at 1-1. Unfortunately, with 5 seconds remaining in the game, with a scrabble in front of Kniazew, North Toronto put one past the crowd to make it 2-1.

Great game and good work done by all in a Capitals’ jersey.

The RFH Atom Majors have a busy weekend ahead with games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Check out the schedule on the Southpoint website and come out and support the Atom Majors.

The 5 km run/walk for the first Kingsville Terry Fox Run gets underway at Lakeside Park Sunday, Sept. 17. Marilyn Farnworth organized the event, gathering a crowd of about 150 runners, walkers and cyclists, mostly from the Harrow-Kingsville-Leamington corridor.

A group of Kingsville Terry Fox participants warm up for the first run of its kind in Kingsville Sunday, Sept. 17 at Lakeside Park.

By Bryan Jessop When it comes to supporting a worthy cause, a local fitness advocate decided that a sprint through her home town was better than a drive through the county.

Marilyn Farnworth of Kingsville has participated in each of the first 36 annual Terry Fox Runs and for its 37th edition, decided that a more local atmosphere was in order. The first annual Kingsville Terry Fox Run took place Sunday, Sept. 17 and backed by sponsors and supporters throughout the area in

nesses and groups. Lakeside Park was also the site of DJ services by Cam Sarkis, balloons and temp tattoos by Jangles the Clown, massages by Britt Schooley and reflexology by Sara Friesen and Marg Wall as part of the Canada-wide fundraiser.

In previous years, Farnworth participated in and played an organizational role in the Terry Fox Run hosted by Tecumseh — the nearest location to her Kingsville home.

“I came up with the idea to have the run here because of the long drive,” she explained. “People in this part of the county deserve to have a Terry Fox Run closer to home so I decided that there should be one here.”

Most of the new local run’s participants as well as sponsors and donors hailed from the Harrow-Kingsville-Leamington corridor. Farnworth thanked her volunteers as well as the Town of Kingsville, the community’s Dominos Pizza, TD Bank, Zehr’s and Del Fresco Produce, Freshco, the Kingsville

Royal Canadian Legion, Caesar’s Windsor and the Shell gas station on Division Road for support and providing food, beverages and other supplies.

“Kingsville is definitely a town with a big heart,” said Farnworth, who also credited Kingsville parks and recreation manager Maggie Durocher as having played a major role in the preparation of the run. “This is a very caring community. Our group of volunteers all did a great job and the response has been amazing.”

The run’s start was preceded by opening remarks from Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos — one of many residents grateful for Farnworth’s efforts to bring the Terry Fox Run closer to home.

“I can’t say enough about Marilyn,” he noted. “To get all these people together and to make this happen is outstanding.”

To date, Canadian Terry Fox Runs have raised roughly $700 million for cancer research and support. Next year’s events — including the one in Kingsville — will take place Sunday, Sept. 16. Lakeside Park will once again serve as the local event’s headquarters. Farnworth is encouraging 2018 participants to register online at www.terryfoxrun.org/run instead of at the tent on the day of the event. Presently, about 80 per cent of Ontario’s Terry Fox runners, walkers and cyclists pre-register online, a method that reduces onsite wait times and lineups.

Wheatley Sharks lose home opener in OT

A one-goal loss was a tough way to start the home ice schedule for the Wheatley Omstead Sharks, although the team showed evidence that more promising results should be in store for the next 19.

The Sharks played their second game of 2017-18 Monday, Sept. 18 at Wheatley Area Arena against the Blenheim Blades, where despite earning a modest 47-44 shots advantage, fell 1-0 in overtime. The match evolved into a goalkeeping battle between Wheatley’s Dylan Zelko and Blenheim’s Eric Stewardson, both of whom were tested frequently as the minutes ticked by.

“We got beat by a goaltender tonight, that’s the bottom line,” explained Sharks head coach Dave Wiper. “It wasn’t as if we didn’t have chances — we deserved a better fate. We didn’t give away two points tonight. Our guys played a great game.”

Both teams seemed determined to put the first mark on the scoresheet through the opening 20 minutes, where Wheatley outshot their guests 18-14. Zelko was solid in net for the Sharks while Stewardson made a handful of key stops for the Blades, including two short breakaway saves. Both sides were ineffective on the power play as forward lines at both ends struggled to set up scoring chances before the opposition could ice the puck.

The second period took on a rougher, chippier tone than the first. Blenheim established a shots on goal advantage of 15-11, although both netminders stood their ground to keep the match scoreless after 40 minutes. Sharks’ rookie Parker Boyle beat Stewardson with a wrist shot during a short rush, only to connect squarely with the crossbar of the Blades’ net.

A scoreless third frame forced a sudden death overtime session clocked for seven minutes of three on three, although the Blades needed only 37 seconds before former Chatham Maroon and LaSalle Viper Dede Cato blasted a long, knee-high slap shot that beat Zelko

Blenheim went zero for six on the man advantage while Wheatley was held to zero for five. The win for the Blades was the second in two nights, following a 13-1 thrashing of the Wallaceburg Lakers.

“We threw everything we had at them — they just didn’t get rattled,” Wiper explained.

“We started the season against two very experienced teams. When our team gels, we’re going to be tough to beat. We’re not even close to having everything down pat yet.”

The Sharks’ away schedule started on a sour note Friday, Sept. 14, as they were handed a 6-2 loss in Lakeshore at the hands of the defending regular season champion Canadiens. Boyle started the scoring on the power play after being set up by Justin Pinsonneault, but four straight goals by the hosts gave them a 4-1 lead to start the second period. Matt Smith, Jarrett Tazzman, Mejoe Gasparovic and Luke Mahon registered goals for the Canadiens.

he Leamington Flyers again kicked off the regular season home schedule with a parking lot tailgate party, but the real reason to celebrate took place on the ice.

The LaSalle Vipers started their own home ice itinerary one day earlier with a 6-2 win over the two-time Weir Cup defending London Nationals, but were soundly defeated in Leamington Thursday, Sept. 14 in an 8-3 decision where the hosts scored in both the first and last minutes of the match. With the victory, the Flyers remained undefeated at 3-0-0-0 in the early stages of the 2017-18 season to retain sole possession of first in the West.

Leamington showed no signs of struggling offensively as in the pre-season game at Unico Arena a couple weeks earlier, solving Vipers netminder James Walker the first time after 53 seconds and for the third time before nine minutes had expired from the opening stanza. The first goal of 2017-18 at Highbury Canco was a rebound chipped in from point blank range by team captain Zach Guilbeault, grabbing a rebound from Kenny Styles who had in turn been set up by Bryce O’Brien.

During a rush just over two minutes later, Griffin Robinson released a wrist shot from the top of the left faceoff circle to beat Walker waist high to the far side. Rory DiNiro and Colton O’Brien assisted on the 2-0 marker. Leamington sent the starting goalie to the bench when Kade McKibbon eluded opponents on his way over the LaSalle blueline before setting loose a low wrist shot that Walker partially intercepted. Following the unassisted goal, Dershahn Stewart took over in net for the Vipers.

The visitors pulled to within two during their only power play of the opening 20 minutes, when Frank Zak took a pass and from the in front of the left side of the goal, fired a shot over Noah Hedrick’s left arm and into the mesh. Leamington got the goal back 29 seconds later following a two-on-one charge by Maddux Rychel and Kenny Styles. The latter sent a pass just in front of the crease that Rychel chipped over the sprawling goalie from the right side of the net to wrap up first period scoring. The Flyers outshot the visitors 15-10 at the first buzzer.

The Vipers generated more scoring chances in the second period despite logging fewer shots on net than in the first, although it was the Flyers who again started the scoring. In a fluent passing play where Rychel — a former Viper — found Guilbeault, the team’s most veteran forward beat Stewart to the short side for a 5-2 advantage. After a relatively quiet stretch of about nine minutes, Tyler Russell took a pass and then popped in his own rebound from Hedrick’s doorstep for the Vipers’ second of the night.

Leamington’s feisty offence again replied, this time about two minutes later, following a turnover in the LaSalle zone. Stewart made the ensuing save, but during a scramble seconds later, Jake Nimmo deliv-

ered the bouncing puck into the goal. Former Strathroy Rocket Cody Schneider drew an assist. Leamington again established the upper hand in shots on goal, this time by a 15-8 margin.

Both teams cooled off offensively in the final period, although three more additions were made to the scoresheet. Nimmo put on an impressive display of stick work starting at centre ice, weaving his way through Viper defenders after crossing the blue line, jutting across the crease and sending an ice-level backhand shot over the goal line. Parker Jacques and Andrew Thoms were credited with sending him on his way.

Former Flyer Brett Vorshuk replied for LaSalle, sending a shot from the point through heavy traffic to beat Hedrick during a power play. Scoring ended when Nimmo completing the hat trick by releasing a deflected shot that crawled over the goal line a fraction of a second before Stewart could turn around and stop it with his stick. The shot followed a wellexecuted series of passes from Bryce O’Brien and Nathan Skulley.

Leamington outshot LaSalle 45-24, although special teams was the one department where the Vipers were the better team, going two for four compared to the Flyers’ one for five.

“It was a good start for us,” said Leamington head coach Tony Piroski. “Offensively, we made some pretty nice plays. They got behind early and then had to gamble a bit and that gave us a few odd man rushes that we were able to capitalize on.”

After their first three games, the Flyers have outscored their competition — one opponent from each of the GOJHL’s three conferences — by a combined score of 19-8.

“I’ve got a good bunch of guys on this team,” said Piroski. “They work hard together and there’s no selfishness on the ice… and that’s the way it should be.”

Rychel, who played the previous two seasons with the Vipers after being drafted by the OHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs in 2015, has collected four points in two games with Leamington and is happy with his new role.

“It feels pretty good to start this way after a long summer,” he noted. “This is a top notch organization from the coaches to the trainers. We should only get better as the season goes on.”

On Saturday, Sept. 16, the Flyers took on the Legionnaires in Sarnia in what unfolded as a 3-2 overtime win for Leamington. Rychel and Preston Corp scored game-tying goals in the first and third periods respectively before Rychel potted the winning goal 2:44 into the second overtime session. Connor Meyerink took the win in net despite the Flyers being outshot 45-39. Both teams were zero for four on the power play.

The Flyers next home game will be played Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7:10 p.m. against the Nationals.

It feels pretty good to start this way after a long summer.
