Dancers took to the stage at Cardinal Carter Secondary School to sold-out crowds last week, December 5, 6 and 7. In its 15th edition of Dance-o-logy, tables were turned, and the school and local community had their say in the ‘People’s choice” edition of the annual performance by Cardinal Carter and feeder school dancers. Directed by Maggy Sonoski, with several assistants, student choreographers and community help, the show flowed seamlessly from hip hop, to jazz, to ballet, to belly dancing, with numbers performed to music chosen by the larger community. Pictured here is the first number of the evening, “The Greatest Show”, featured all of the Cardinal Carter dancers. MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 11.

Kingsville Property Owners want greenhouses re-classified

By Sheila McBrayne

KINGSVILLE – A change in venue was needed to accommodate the capacity crowd at the Monday, December 10 regular meeting of Kingsville Council.

The Kingsville Arena auditorium was filled with more than 100 supporters who came to hear Michael Burns make his presentation to Council on behalf of the Kingsville Property Owners regarding concerns about the greenhouse industry.

“We want to give notice on public record that we oppose the sprawl of greenhouse complexes in our backyards,” Burns began. He explained that greenhouses are currently classified under agricultural and are under the jurisdiction of the provincial government. He explained that greenhouses being built now are not small agricultural operations. “These are large complexes, covering many acres… these must change to light to medium industrial, not agricultural,” stated Burns.

At present greenhouses are allowed to build within 30 feet from residential property lines.

“We need to place them away from any residential property lines. We need to change their classification,” he added.

Most industrial complexes or manufacturing facilities fall under zoning and bylaws that have been developed to deal with the waste, noise, light, traffic, as well as proximity to residential dwellings and properties. The zoning and bylaws also have been developed to protect the wildlife and reduce the impact to the environment and surroundings.

In developing the bylaws and zoning for the industries and manufacturing facilities it enables the town and province to develop the planning for infrastructure needed to support the industry and growth of the surrounding communities.

In July 2017 a number of residents in Kingsville were informed that a parcel of land was to be purchased and greenhouse complexes were proposed for this and other large acreages in the area. “We have assembled together to explore what we can do as homeowners and landowners in this rural community to stop the development of these greenhouse complexes in our backyards,” explained Burns.

In his presentation Burns read: “Many of the local farms have been in the families for generations and farmed by more “traditional’ methods.

The traditional farmer cannot compete with the

greenhouse owners and rising cost of acreage.

Our association named the Kingsville Property Owners Group is asking for your help for our area as well as many other areas in Ontario and throughout Canada being affected by this epidemic with the introduction of medicinal and recreational marijuana. This problem will only worsen without proper intervention.

There is a place for the greenhouse industry in Essex County, in Ontario and Canada as a whole we all agree, but stronger zoning and bylaws must be put in place to accommodate the homeowners, municipal, provincial and the greenhouse industry.”

Burns stated that the group is willing to talk with growers, the town and interested parties.

Councillor Thomas Neufeld reminded Council that he brought forth a notice at the Nov. 13 council meeting asking for a moratorium on all new greenhouse development West of Division Road, until such time that Council has the opportunity to review the current site plan controls as it relates to greenhouse development.

“We are willing to take our fight to Queen’s Park. This is our town, please, let’s keep it that way,” said Burns.

Avalon Fleming was soloist in the children’s musical Hey Jingle!

Children’s musical Hey Jingle! packs the house The Bank Theatre & Faith Mennonite Church presented two performances of Hey Jingle!, a kids Christmas musical, on December 7th and 8th. It was a full house both evenings.

Taking place at the Last Tomato Retirement Home, Hey Jingle! is the story of two seniors who discover that their old CD player is broken and therefore they can’t play their favourite Christmas music.

Hey Jingle! is an original production written by Janice Founk, and directed

by Janice Founk and Mary Kraus. The script for Hey Jingle was inspired by their mother who, at the age of 95, couldn’t see well enough to work her CD player anymore. Their brother presented her with the perfect answer – a Google Home. Initially their mother struggled with remembering the commands, but it wasn’t long before she was filling the halls of the Mennonite Home with her favourite Christmas music.

Hey Jingle! featured a blend of sacred and secular, with the overall message being the love and peace that Jesus taught.

Fire destroys Kingsville factory

By Bryan Jessop

An industrial fire that raged for hours has wreaked havoc on a local packaging material manufacturer.

The Kingsville Fire Department received a call at approximately 6:20 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10 reporting smoke emitting from the Global Pack Packaging Solutions building at 1928 Road 3 East, a short distance east of Spinks Drive. The call came from an employee of a neighbouring business who noticed the smoke that morning.

In total, 40 firefighters from three stations — two in Kingsville and one “We thought we in Leamington — arhad a handle on it rived on the scene to a couple times and battle the blaze that morning. Kingsville then it cropped up Fire Department somewhere else.” chief Chuck Parsons — KFD Chief explained that the Chuck Parsons fire had likely overwhelmed much of the building’s north end when the station received the call. Firefighters on the scene twice appeared to have the blaze under control that morning, only to discover flames had flared up in other parts of the structure.

“It’s been a tough fire to fight,” Parsons said later that morning. “We thought we had a handle on it a couple times and then it cropped up somewhere else. A large building like this that’s full of contents can be difficult to deal with.”

With no staff inside the building once the fire erupted, the incident went without injuries. One firefighter was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after a slip and fall, but was released shortly afterwards. Crews temporarily closed off Road 3 East from Spinks Drive to County Road 31.

As a manufacturer of fresh product packaging, the Global Pack facility was filled with large quantities of plastics and cardboard that allowed the fire to rage for several hours despite Kingsville Fire Department and Leamington Fire Services efforts to bring it under control. Although KFD and LFS personnel were not able to enter the building initially, an early estimate pegged the damage value at more than $500,000 — the minimum amount required to trigger an inspection from the Ontario Fire Marshall’s office.

As fire officials continue to monitor and investigate the premises, neither the cause of the blaze or a precise estimate on the damage caused were available as of press deadline.

Firefighters with the Kingsville Fire Department and Leamington Fire Services were called to an industrial fire at 1928 Road 3 East in rural Kingsville Monday, Dec. 10. An employee at a neighbouring business noticed smoke and contacted the KFD at approximately 6:20 a.m. The building was unoccupied at the time the fire started. The cause of the blaze and the amount of damage were still being investigated at press deadline, although the estimated dollar amount was in excess of $500,000.

Leave the classics alone I think the Me Too movement has finally jumped the shark with the recent controversy over the classic Christmas song ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside.’

With a few radio stations bowing to the movement and suspending airplay Mark Ribble of the 1944 duet, social media accounts on both sides of the argument lit up the internet last week.

I thought I’d look up a little history on said song and was surprised to learn the facts behind the original recording.

Frank Loesser wrote it in 1944, and he and his wife Lynn Garland sang it at socialite parties until he sold the song to MGM in 1949.

The first recorded version appeared in the 1949 movie Neptune’s Daughter and won the Oscar that year for best original song.

It was actually Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams who sang the duet in the movie.

Yes, the same Ricardo Montalbán who starred as Mr. Roarke in Fantasy Island so many years later.

And most people of a certain age remember Esther Williams as Hollywood’s favourite swimming actress.

Even Red Skelton got into the act in the same movie, helping out with the latter verses of the song.

It’s funny how you hear a song like that and it never really registers just how much history is behind it.

For years I’ve heard the song at Christmas time and never really liked or disliked it, but found it to be flirty and fun and never once associated it with any sort of Cosby-like coercion.

Now people are saying that the woman in the song is about to be rufied. How does that connection even make sense?

The world has changed, that’s for sure.

I’m in no way questioning those who have experienced the horrors of assault firsthand, but if you look hard enough into any written piece, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

It makes you wonder just what we are leaving for our grandchildren to survive in.

I fear for the future generations of this world, not because of the music they listen to, but because of all of the absolute nonsense that goes on, from terrorist attacks to rampant drug problems to all sorts of dangerous things.

I’ve never once thought that a classic song would be what could bring their world down, and I still don’t I think it’s time for those who spend their days and nights looking for evil in the most innocent of books, songs and movies to channel that energy toward fighting incurable diseases or helping rid the world of terrorism.

Trading turnips for rutabagas With only a long weekend in Lauderdale, I had to hit the road running with a very long shopping list in hand.

First stop, I picked up a pre-ordered weed whacker for our neighbour and friend on Big Whale. This is what you do for your neighbours, whether you are right next door, or in our case on the next island.

From there, I headed to Costco where I weaved through the masses of people in the Christmas spirit. Some were less spirited than others, but I tried to maintain a relaxed aura. I was in no rush. Mark and I have been extremely lucky to have a place to stay while in Lauderdale. My father and stepmother have welcomed us there. Sometimes they are there and sometimes not. We try to do our best to maintain the place. When we arrive we are greeted by the staff and it’s our home away from home.

As I placed the third spiral ham on the teetering top, a couple of good-humoured people asked it they could come to dinner. I smiled thinking Arthur, Cruz and Engine will be happy with their Christmas dinners.

After puzzling everything into my rental, I headed straight to unload the perishables into either freezer or fridge at the hanger. Even though I was behind schedule, I headed to the Galleria Mall to quickly Christmas shop for the owners.

Boxers, fun games, useful lotions and gadgets quickly added up, hopefully enough to fill some stockings. Finally, I was headed down the sunny strip towards home.

There my father and Marilyn greeted me and we had an enjoyable evening together. The next day, Dad joined me while I ran some more errands. It was also special to have some one-on-one time!

By Saturday afternoon I had some time to relax before my Monday morning Costco shop. I saved the fresh provisions for on the way to my flight, ensuring the freshest possible.

LIFESTYLES Instacart – and my life changed. Sunday, Shannon Matheson I went online and registered with Instacart.

From the website, I was able to enter the products that I desired. The delivery time, although not optimum, worked.

Next time I will start the process sooner. Once my cart was full and payment information agreed to, I headed to the pool to enjoy a couple of hours with relatives.

I lay awake worrying that I hadn’t given the proper delivery address and thinking of forgotten items. Finally, at 4:00 in the morning, I added those items, double checked the address and finally slept peacefully for a couple of hours.

After 9:00 the next morning, I started to receive two separate text messages, one from my Whole Foods shopper and the other my Publix shopper. The shopping had begun. If they need to interchange something, I was notified. Hence the turnips for rutabagas! I was also notified when the delivery was en route. Everything arrived promptly and seemed perfect!

This service allowed me some time to relax. It also saved me money on an early car rental return, free delivery, savings made on my purchases by thrifty shopping and available coupons, and even with the included tip of $30.

Time saved is time well spent. The provisions and I arrived back to the cay safely and refreshed.

Reader disgusted by blatant display of littering Dear Editor, Recently, during a period of less than 24 hours, I experienced first a very positive display of human behavior, while less than a day later, my husband and I both saw a very negative display by another person.

On the first day, I was loading a rather large-sized purchase into the back of the car when a courteous young lady came along and offered to help me. I assured her that I was able to do this myself, but I left the parking lot feeling very uplifted because of the way the young lady had conducted herself.

The next morning while we were having our Saturday morning coffee and breakfast sitting in our car at the parking lot of the Leamington Marina, the actions of a man were a sharp contrast to the positive behaviour exhibited the day before.

Although it was quite clear that the man could have used several round trips to and from the garbage recep-

tacle, instead he rolled down his window and dropped his garbage onto the pavement below. I immediately made plans to pick up his garbage in front of him on my way to take our garbage to the proper place. This would have been an attempt (likely unsuccessful) to shame him concerning his “oafish” act.

Unfortunately, by the time we were ready to get rid of our garbage, the fellow (please note that I’ve avoided calling him a gentleman) had left the parking lot, and I was left to explain to the next occupant of that parking spot that I was picking up after the inconsiderate slob who had been there just before.

If he was too lazy to get out of the car to properly dispose of his garbage, couldn’t he at least have taken his garbage home to dispose of it there ? Or does he treat his own property the same way?

First of its kind shipment for Gleaners

Yard waste collection extended again

Erb Transportation driver Kevin Steinacker, and Joel Epp and Jake Martens of the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners begin loading up a 53’ trailer with a food shipment destined for a distribution centre in Thunder Bay. The collection of donations from local farmers and Windsor-based Plentiful Harvest weighed in at about 45,000 pounds and will be shipped to five isolated First Nation communities in northern Ontario.

LEAMINGTON – Due to the warmer than usual temperatures this fall, the Municipality of Leamington has again extended yard waste collection.

WDS will be picking up approved yard waste throughout the Municipality on Friday, December 14. Residents are encouraged to assess their property and put out any additional yard waste that remains on their regularly scheduled collection day.

Acceptable yard waste includes grass leaves, garden trimmings, brush and branches.

Acceptable containers include paper yard waste bags, cardboard boxes and garbage cans/pails.

Plastic bags are not acceptable yard waste containers.

Pick-up will begin as normal at 6 a.m.; therefore, yard waste should be placed curbside the night before.

As part of the Canada-wide Holodomor National Awareness Tour, instructor Alexi Marchel instructs a Leamington District Secondary School Grade 10 history class on how to navigate an iPad program to gather information on the Ukrainian genocide of 1932-’33 during a stop at LDSS Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Unique history lesson for LDSS classes

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Half a month after the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, local high school students learned about another human rights tragedy from the first half of the 20th century.

The Holodomor National Awareness Tour made five Greater Essex County District School Board stops during the final school week of November, including one at Leamington District Secondary School Tuesday, Nov. 27. After making arrangements with the Canadian Ukraine Foundation — the tour’s owners and organizers — the GECDSB extended invitations to its school’s department heads to participate.

Butch Rickeard, an LDSS history teacher, jumped at the opportunity to have his school on the local leg of the tour, which also included Tecumseh Vista Academy, Sandwich Secondary School, Vincent Massey Secondary School and Kennedy Collegiate Institute.

Local youngster launches Animala for improved treatment for dogs and cats

By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE – While most nine-year olds are busy writing their Christmas wish lists, one local youngster instead focuses on her wishes for man’s best friends.

Teya Mastronardi of Kingsville is not only dreaming of improved treatment of dogs and cats, she is actually doing something about it.

The Grade 4 St. John de Brebeuf student spends much of her spare time creating ‘mala’ bracelets (bracelets made

Through the young entrepreneur’s own company, which she aptly named Animala, Teya has managed to combine two of her passions – animals and mala bracelets – to benefit the Windsor Essex County Humane Society.

Last week in fact, Teya presented a cheque for $175 to Windsor Essex County Humane Society representatives to help feed those pets that are searching for a loving home.

For Teya, giving back to the community has been instilled in her for her entire life. It’s something she has witnessed through her closest role models and mentors, mom and dad Leigh Ann and Rudy Mastronardi.

Teya said, “It’s not always about getting things, but giving things as well”.

Leigh Ann said it is important to teach children the importance of helping others and the community as a whole.

She said on Dec. 22 her studio will host a Loving Kindness Karma Workshop for kids aged 6-13 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. for a minimum $10 donation for Little Hands Kids for a Cause. She said the workshop is designed to teach youngsters the importance of compassion and kindness. During the workshop, Leigh Ann said they will be making cards to distribute to youngsters with life threatening illnesses. A yoga session will also be incorporated into the session to teach relaxation techniques.

The proud mother said not only has her daughter become a compassionate young entrepreneur, she is hoping she’s an inspiration to other youngsters.

Maples For Vimy - the bond of mutual appreciation bet ween Canada and Franc

by Bruce Stock, Maj (Ret’d) Leamington Member Legion Branch 188 - Kingsville

EDITOR’S OVERVIEW: In 2017, a London, Ontario couple overcame enormous obstacles to plant 500 Maples for Vimy in 17 villages across northern France, and in 2018 were invited back to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the end of WW I. Paul and Barbara Ann Gagnon of London, Ontario, wanted to find a new and different way of paying tribute to the magnificent sacrifices of both our Canadian soldiers and the French civilians, whose villages were saved by the indomitable presence of Canada’s WW I troops.

They were leaders in Canadian tree development and production and had established international clientele. Coming up with a “tree answer” to the “tribute challenge” was a logical next step. They chose several brands of Canadian maples and, with the help of 50 volunteer Canadian Scouts, Girl Guides and their leaders, Larry Fleet and Barbara Robinson, respectively, they planted 500 Red, Silver and Regalpetticoat Canadian maple trees, to help commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge in 2017. Five hundred living memorials that were prepared, delivered and planted, at no cost to the host villages. Problem solved.

Their rationale? Instead of cold, hard stone or metal tributes they asked themselves, why not a living memorial?

Take advantage of the living qualities of nurturing a young maple, as it grows to maturity and delivers its many social, cultural and environmental benefits for decades to come and younger generations to enjoy. The Gagnons and their children Michael, Stephen and Laura, knew they had the right answer.

Not only did the French government have very strict importation standards, each village had its own. After numerous meetings, visits to France and e-mails over several years, the permissions were granted in 2016.

The location question had two aspects: which villages had the greatest involvement with Canadian troops? Secondly, which villages had enough suitable growing space to accommodate the caring and maintenance necessary?

Seventeen village sites matched the criteria and in April, 2017, 500 maples were planted with appropriate ceremonies, landmark speeches and champagne toasts.

One year later, those French villages invited the Gagnons back. They wanted expert advice on how their young plantings were progressing and they knew the Gagnons and their party of representatives from the worlds of music, scouting, girl guiding and the Royal Canadian Legion, would add meaning to their villages’ celebrations of the Armistice’s 100th Anniversary, from November 9th - 12th. These are some of the many highlights of the events and ceremonies which deeply impressed their Canadian guests.

On November 8th we took France’s famous electric train from Paris to Arras, the heart of northern France. Travelling at 180 mph/300 kmh, as the train slices silently through the countryside, was almost an unnerving experience, but it made us look forward to our return trip.

During our visit, we stayed in a large farmhouse named, L’oreille du bois, in the village of Villers au Bois, population 620. During WW I, over 12,000 Canadians lived in military camps built in the area. The Villers au Bois population in 1914 was 150. Today’s ancestors tell us it was the Canadians who saved their village and all the others in the area. When they so often expressed their appreciation of Ca-

Maple tree saplings were planted along various locations throughout the French countryside as part of the Maples For Vimy program.

nadians and love for Canada, we knew it was deeper than heart felt.

The evening of November 8th, Paul and Barbara Ann introduced their team to their two key French allies: Jean Pierre Bavière, Mayor of Mont Saint Eloi and Maureen Searle, one of his councillors who was fluently bilingual, a pharmacist and main coordinator, from the earliest days, of this inspiring, two-country dream project. She and her husband, Michael, reside in a 200-year old house built on 11th century foundations. During our visit, she said, “I have something to show you” and led Olivia and me to a window.

“Can you see that white spot on the horizon?” We looked through the window and strained to see what she described.

Finally, we spotted it, looking like a bright, white star in the distance. “That’s the Vimy monument – 20 kms away.” You could have knocked us over with a feather. “And,” she went on, “the biggest reward is during certain sunsets. Sometimes we are able to see the sun between the two towers, as it sinks into night. Knowing what it means, I never tire of looking to Vimy,” she said.

November 9th, the Gagnons were invited to Chérisy, population 340. It was there in 1918, during the Battle of Chérisy, that Capt. Georges Vanier lost his right leg and refused to be evacuated home. 41 years later, he was chosen as our second Canadian governor general and commanderin-chief, as well as our first francophone GG. His legacy in Canadian military history was assured as he was the only Canadian veteran ever to rise to the rank of Commander-inChief of Canada’s Armed Forces.

The Cheriziens have opened a museum dedicated to him and his well-known regiment, The Royal 22nd Regiment or the Van Doos, and they are now writing the village’s official history of the battle, with the Regiment’s full cooperation.

Chérisy also has the distinction of being the only Commonwealth Graves Cemetery dedicated to Québec.

When Paul Gagnon realized that the author had been an Aide-de-Camp to Georges and Pauline Vanier, he was surprised to learn that Stock had also written a book on his tour of duty at Rideau Hall titled, Sleeping at Rideau Hall, Memoirs of an Aide-de-Camp. So, earlier this spring, when Gagnon suggested it would be a great idea to donate a copy to the Chérisy museum and offered to deliver it personally to the Mayor, Stock realized it was an offer not to be refused.

When later, an invitation to visit Chérisy was extended from the Mayor, Olivia and I were surprised and honoured.

As a result, when the Canadians arrived at the Mayor’s office to inspect the trees and meet the officials, it was the closest thing to a reunion of strangers who felt they already knew one another. The evening was spent celebrating the Vanier family, including their world-renowned humanitarian son, Jean, who, now in his nineties, had visited the village last year.

Saturday, November 10th found us attending a unique event: the Maples for Vimy Living Memorial of Honour, held at the stadium in Ecoivre, a commune of Mount Saint Eloi. The local children lit floating hot-air balloons with the names of WW I French soldiers attached and watched excitedly as they climbed steadily skyward into the future.

The dawn of November 11th in northern France witnessed a truly rare event. At 5:15 a.m. in the village of Mont Saint Eloi – a re-creation of the Armistice signing on November 11, 1918. The early hour was necessary to allow the signed Treaty of Versailles to be made available in Mons, France for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

During the re-enactment, complete with uniforms, sights, sounds and WW I trench food passed around, a locally-produced video explained that the French and Germans agreed the most convenient and secure way to negotiate was from two railway cars, hauled into position by their national steam locomotives, parked on parallel tracks in a forest setting. In this way, the two countries had self-contained and

protected resources, from which to conduct complicated, sensitive, detailed, war-ending negotiations.

When agreement on the terms was reached after three full days of back and forth and the documents were ready for signing, the French Commander, Maréchal Foch, refused to meet the German representatives at a neutral site. He demanded they come to him: and when they did arrive, he delayed so much his officials worried briefly that the colossal weight of commanding during such a ruinous period had finally taken its toll and would prevent him from signing.

As history records, he did finally sign and the documents were delivered to Mons. At 11 a.m. the country’s church bells began to ring out their joyous Bells of Peace message across the battered nation – from village to town to city to Paris.

At 9:15 a.m., we travelled to Carency, population 800, to be part of a typical celebration that enabled yet another village in northern France to reinforce its self esteem by paying homage to those military who, 100 years earlier, when the nation faced its deepest crisis, had delivered its survival.

The townsfolk had gathered in the cemetery. In addition to a civilian Guard of Honour, with their own berets, badges and “G de H” identity, were included 7 – 8 WW I era European cars in splendid condition – a local touch.

After paying tribute to a village soldier who died defending his home, everyone moved to the site of 20 Vimy maples, planted last year, for speeches and national anthems.

The town band then struck up stirring French marches and led, what seemed like the whole darn town, down the hill and through the narrow, twisting, house-hugging streets of Carency, to the cenotaph near the Mairie, or Mayor’s office.

After more uplifting speeches, an unusual custom caught my attention. During the Remembrance portion of the service, individual citizens would step forth to repeat a name, or names, of their fallen townsfolk. After each name was read, a man standing at the base of the cenotaph, would declare:

“Morte pour la France!”

“Died for France!”

A cemetery for Canadian solders.

November 12th dawned grey and rainy. We soon found ourselves in the village of Camblain-l’abbé, where 50 Vimy maples were now growing. During Paul’s inspection, he found three trees had not survived and assured his hosts they would be replaced, as covered in their warranty, by Easter of 2019.

During refreshments, the topic of conversation turned to getting young people involved and soon school exchanges became the cause du jour/cause of the day, with its need for early fulfillment.

The theme was continued at our last event that morning, when we visited the village of Duisan and its Camille Corot elementary school. To celebrate the single tree that had been planted there last year, we unveiled another of the Vimy Maple plaques we had been installing across northern France.

The Maples for Vimy are prepared, shipped and planted at no cost to their host villages. The program includes a three-year replacement warranty. Funding came from several sources including the Gagnon’s savings, investors, Veterans Affairs Canada, the City of London, Ontario, Strathroy-Caradoc, Ontario and Dutton-Dunwich, Ontario.

Fundraising continues to cover the program’s tree replacement, maintenance and travel costs. More information is available at www.maplesforvimy.com On the way home, Olivia and I asked ourselves if we ever could have anticipated such an incredible journey to the Land of Remembrance? Never, we agreed. But the true impact of completing the mission, is that our sense of patriotism has been vividly re-awakened and our pride in Canada is heading for the moon.

Bright comet and meteor shower approaching this weekend

By Gary Boyle The Backyard Astronomer

Haifa Gebrail (third from right) recently received a Christmas surprise when she was selected as the recipient of a security system from Security ONE, as well as a Personal Emergency Response Button with GPS and two-way voice communication. She is pictured here with Leamington Security ONE staff.

Leamington woman receives peace of mind after brutal assault LEAMINGTON – Fresh off of being presented with a sixth consecutive Excellence in Community Service Award from the Honeywell Security Group, Security ONE in Leamington continues giving back to the community with a Christmas surprise.

Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call on Wigle St. in Leamington back in June of 2018 to find 36-year old Haifa Gebrail with serious injuries after being assaulted in her home. A 44year old man was arrested

at the time and charged with attempted murder.

“We just want her to go back to living a normal life,” said Sam Sleiman of Leamington. Earlier this year, his niece, Haifa Gebrail, also of Leamington, was brutally attacked and left for dead.

“Haifa is a survivor, a thriver, and a fighter”, he said.

Gebrail has spent the last six months recovering in hospital and has been released and is now living on her own again.

Traumatic Stress Syndrome and sometimes has trouble sleeping,” Sleiman said.

In September of 2018, Security ONE Alarm Systems launched their 5th annual “Who Deserves To Win” contest and received over 200 nominations over two months. Haifa Gebrail was the overwhelming winner.

Sales & Loyalty Manager Corey Robertson says this year’s winner was something special.

“What happened to Haifa is every person’s worst nightmare. It’s the kind of crime you only see on TV or in the movies,” said Robertson.

“We’ve seen the Leamington community rally around Haifa, and we couldn’t be prouder to help give her and her family the peace of mind, and protection, they deserve.”

A short video of the big day, including the installation and candid interviews with the family can be seen on Security ONE’s You Tube channel https://youtu.be/HcwepsvEWAw In addition to arming doors and windows, Robertson says there is one more critical piece to Gebrail’s security system.

“We’ve outfitted Haifa with a Personal Emergency Response Button with GPS and 2-way voice communication that will work anywhere in North America,” said Robertson. “She’ll be able to take this device with her anywhere she goes, knowing that help is only the push of a button away.”

Christmas for the Gebrail family will be a lot more peaceful this year.

“Old Haifa passed away,” a beaming Gebrail announced. “New Haifa is here to stay. I’m so thankful to this community and to Security ONE.”

For thousands of years, the night sky has been a place of entertainment and guidance.

It was also the foundation of myths and superstitions.

Bright comets were deemed to be messengers of impending doom such as drought, disease, famine, war, etc. Located in the outer reaches of our solar system, comets are mountains of rock and ice that are sometimes nudged toward the inner solar system and round the sun. The outflow of gas and dust caused by solar heating generates a green fog around the comet and most times a dust tail and/or ion tail.

For the most part, comets are faint and only seen with a telescope. But such is not the case with the appearance of Comet 46P/Wirtanen now visible in the southern sky.

Throughout December the comet grows larger and brighter as it races northward. Closest approach to Earth occurs on December 16 at a safe distance of 11.5 million kilometres. On the nights of the 15th and 16th, Comet Wirtanen passes between the Pleiades and Hyades star cluster. The comet could become bright enough to be seen without optical aid (naked eye) from the dark countryside without the moon present.

Peaks on December 13-14 As if this bright comet was not enough to enjoy, the annual Geminid meteor shower peaks on the night of Dec 13-14. The moon sets around 10:30 p.m. local time, allowing a dark sky for the rest of the night. Best time to see the maximum number of meteors is after midnight towards dawn when the constellation is highest in the sky.

This shower produces 120 meteors per hour as sand size particles from asteroid 3200 Phaethon (a possible dead comet) completely vapourize as they strike our atmosphere at 35 km/sec. The Geminids also produce occasional fireballs that can light up the ground.

This is a must-see event.

Volunteers appreciated with thank-you dinner LEAMINGTON – The volunteers at Rosewood Erie Glen were treated to Christmas dinner at Jose’s Bar and Grill in Leamington as a small token of appreciation for all they do. The seniors residence is fortunate to have a group of 15 dedicated volunteers who give of their time to call numbers at Bingo, play the piano or provide nail care, just to name a few of the tasks they take on. Melissa Loeppgy, Life Enrichment/Marketing at Rosewood Erie Glen, thanked the volunteers, saying: “We couldn’t do this without you, each and everyone of you are a valued asset to our home and you all help us make our home what it is today.” Pictured are some of the volunteers with staff from Rosewood.

vidual clubs may have other goals, but these are Lions Club International’s Global Focuses.

Wheatley Lions and Lioness Clubs held a very successful Diabetes Tag Day on October 19th in downtown Wheatley and would like to thank all who donated to this cause.

At the joint meeting held in Wheatley, VDG Lion Barb presented long-time member Howard Walker

with a service award pin for 45 years in the Wheatley Lions Club. Approximately 60% of the Wheatley’s members have 40 or more years of service in the club.

What a great accomplishment.

Essex-Windsor EMS launches public engagement process Input from residents will help lay foundation for 10-year Master Plan ESSEX COUNTY – Essex-Windsor EMS wants to know what the public thinks about its services and priorities as it prepares a 10-year Master Plan designed to optimize patient care in Windsor and Essex County.

“Our residents know better than anyone what works well and what needs improvement, and we want to hear from them,” said Essex-Windsor EMS Chief Bruce Krauter.

“The public’s input will help steer this Master Plan and provide a solid foundation for the continuation of high-quality pre-hospital emergency care in a growing community.”

Essex-Windsor EMS is asking residents to spare a few minutes and fill out a short, online survey about current programs, practices and priorities. The survey can be found at countyofessex.on.ca/emssurvey Essex-Windsor EMS will also be promoting the survey and seeking public input on social media using the hashtag #helpYOURems. Phone surveys and door-to-door canvassing will also play a role in the public engagement process.

“We want to ensure the public has ample opportunity to fill out this survey and share their experiences so we can develop a Master Plan with a solid set of guiding principles designed to optimize patient care,” said Krauter.

Essex-Windsor EMS provides land ambulance services to Essex County, Windsor and the Township of Pelee. It has 13 ambulance bases and a staff of about 175 full-time and 100 part-time paramedics.

Friendship Club enjoys afternoon of Bingo

By Bonnie Dawson

WHEATLEY – The Wheatley & District Friendship Club meeting of December 5 began with the singing of O Canada led by Doreen Armstrong on piano, followed by the blessing. President Harold Dundas mentioned that birthday cards are sent out on the first of the month to those members who turn 90. This month they sent a card to Ruth Traquair in Tilbury who celebrates her 100th birthday.

Thanks to Pat Beattie and Mary Hairsine who were on lunch.

Loving wife of the late Tony Chibi (2005).

Beloved mom of Tammy Campbell (Ken) and Carrie Keane (Heath).

Peg worked hard all of her life in farm work, raising kids and bookkeeping for various employers. She was always ready with a joke and an easygoing manner. She faced her challenges with a profound courage that amazed all of us. She was especially fond of her grandkids and greatgrandkids who she loved dearly. While it is devastatingly hard to see her go, she is no longer suffering and is with the love of her life, Tony, who she dearly missed. Go in peace Mom, we will miss you!

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of 2 West at the Sun Parlor Home for their exceptional care over the past 3 years.

Respecting Peggee’s wishes, cremation has taken place.

Ray Jacobs

July 17, 1931 - December 7, 2018 Ray Omar Jacobs, from Algonquin Illinois, in his 87th year, passed peacefully at his residence at Shalom Park in Aurora Colorado.

Beloved husband of (Waunita) Gayle Jacobs (nee Dawson) from Coatsworth, for 62 years. Ray was the loving father of Sheree Lynn (St. Charles, IL), Lora Lee (Byers, CO), Dean Leslie, (Byers, CO) and Christopher Luke (Byers, CO). He was also loving “Bumpa” to grandchildren Matthew Ray (Marta) Jacobs, Katrina Courtney (“KC”) Jacobs and Grant Michael Sherman, and “Bumpa II” to great-grandchildren Brian Dean Jacobs, Jasper Thor Jacobs and Damien Ray Tetreault.

He is survived by siblings Eileen Hooker-Dolata and Elmer Jacobs, both of Wheatley and Mary Fleury (Paul) of Tilbury. He is also survived by sister Lynn (Wayne) Rouse of Ft. Pierce, FL, as well as brothers Dale (Joyce), Kevin (Cynthia) and Dennis (Pam), all from Vero Beach FL. He is pre-deceased by parents John Leslie and Mabel Alice (Schuler) Jacobs, and brothers Frank, Garland, Lyle, Fred, Delbert and Daryl Sr. Ray was born in Wheatley, Ontario and was known to his friends as “Jake”. He attended university in London, Ontario, for several years studying Pre-Med before joining the Royal Canadian Air Force as an Officer in 1955. He remained in the RCAF in what was the AllWeather Fighter Squadron #433, then known as the Tactical Fighter Squadron #433.

The family was moved about the Canadian Air Force Bases in cities such as Cold Lake, Alberta; North Bay, Ontario; Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Uplands (Ottawa), Ontario.

During that time, he was breaking speed, altitude and marksmanship records as a “Top Gun” fighter pilot in aircraft such as the CF-100 Canuck, Beechcraft T-34 Trainer, P-51 Mustang and the Avro Lancaster. Besides setting and breaking records, he also held positions as a sharp-shooter and a flight instructor and was best friends to Ed Frymire, Terry Harris and Gene Chonko, his fellow squadron mates.

After 11 years in the Air Force, he retired and joined United Airlines in 1965 to fly DC-10s, 727s and other jets for more than 25 years.

When he wasn’t flying for United Airlines, Ray was an ardent and excellent player in both chess and billiards.

He loved using his old yellow John Deer backhoe/front loader to dig septic tanks/leach fields on the side. But his passion was flying, and he encouraged his children to learn to fly his single-engine aircraft: the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the Cessna 150 and the J3 Piper Cub which he refabricated. He enjoyed golf, hunting, woodworking and acrylic painting as well.

Ray was a member of the Xenophon Lodge No. 448, Wheatley, the Palatine IL chapters of York Rite Royal Arch and the Bethel Commandery of Knights Templar, the Addison Medina Shriners and the Ancient and Honorable Order of the Yellow Dog. At our Father’s request, there will be no visitation or funeral service. The family asks in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Denver Hospice, online at https://thedenverhospice.org/ or by mail to The Denver Hospice, 501 S. Cherry Street, Suite 700 Denver, Colorado 80246. Phone: 303-321-2828.

LKRC hosts Skills Ontario event

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Innovation, ingenuity and teamwork were showcased by the boatload in Leamington last week.

For the second time in as many years, the regional level of the Skills Ontario Cardboard Boat Challenge took place at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

The high school division of the competition drew 27 teams from 16 high schools Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Most entries represented the Greater Essex County District School Board or Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board, but other schools from Tilbury, Chatham and St. Catharines also participated this year.

Four teams hailed from Leamington schools, including two from Cardinal

“It’s a lot of fun and a great experience for the kids.”

— Bill Fenton Cardinal Carter groups were made up of Anthony Policella, Alexia Santos, Carter Matthews and Zach Martindale (Team #6) and Matteo Mastronardi, Carter Diemer, Massimo Corlett and Austin Simpson (Team #20) while LDSS teams included Abid Halil, Youssef Alkhaled, Mohammad Alzouabi and Hasan Alkhaled

(Team #11) and Conner Harder, Anna Dawson, Hima Patel and Ewan Wilson (Team #24). A Video Challenge team also represented LDSS, consisting of Candice Jenner and Ryan Dierckens.

This year’s Cardboard Boat Challenge marked the second for Cardinal Carter teams and the first for LDSS, which couldn’t enter the 2017 Skills Ontario event because of commitments made to transitioning into the new school on Oak Street.

“It’s a lot of fun and a great experience for the kids,” said LDSS teacher Bill Fenton. “We’ve got a really nice mix of students between our teams.”

Neil Wigg of Wheatley is the proud new owner of a tomato red 1968 Camaro hardtop purchased from a woman in Kingsville who owned it for 34 years.

The Webster Motors dealer plate on the back suggests that the car was sold new in Windsor.

This Camaro is a factory fresh original with its 250 cubic inch six cylinder engine and automatic transmission with “His and Hers” floor shift. The odometer reads slightly over 60,400 miles. No metric system in Canada in 1968!

I met Neil and his friend Shannon Dresser (who arrived in his 1986 Camaro) recently at McDonalds for a photo shoot. As we were lining up some pictures, a young man and a young woman came over to admire the car. Figuring he would be too young to know much about Neil’s Camaro (50 years old this year), I asked while the Team #24 Boat Challenge group was made up of IB Grade 10 students and Team #11 a quartet of Syrian newcomers in Grades 10 to 12.

Each team participating in the challenge had to create two design plans and send one of them to Skills Ontario to prove knowledge in four of seven skill categories that included communication, numeracy, critical thinking and other criteria.

Kingsville boxer wins Ontario title

By Bryan Jessop

A local duo has once again joined forces to capture a provincial championship.

Sixteen-year-old boxer Tiago Baltiero and his coach Doug Patterson — both of Kingsville — made the trip to Niagara Falls’ Scotiabank Convention Centre for the annual four-day Ontario Golden Gloves tournament Thursday, Nov. 29 to Sunday, Dec. 2. Baltiero won the title bout in a unanimous 3-0 decision despite being younger and less experienced than his Windsor-based opponent.

On behalf of Fighting Island Boxing Club of Amherstburg, Baltiero defeated Gordon Guenette of the Bam Bam Boxing Club after three rounds of three minutes apiece. The Kingsville fighter went into the match with 11 bouts experience while Guenette had previously participated in 28. Since the event was technically the 2019 edition of the Ontario Golden Gloves, Baltiero was entered as a 17-year-old in the 7581 kg male youth open class.

“It may have been a Tiago Baltiero unanimous decision, but it was very, very close,” said Patterson. “It was a rough and tumble fight that they both wanted to win. They both took a lot of punishment.”

The championship-winning performance was the second Ontario Golden Gloves title for Baltiero, who also won the 2017 edition of the competition. For this year’s Boxing Ontario provincial event, the local youth trained for about three months, mostly at Seng’s Martial Arts in Kingsville. Along with Patterson, he also prepared for the big event at the Fighting Island Club in Amherstburg and in Chatham, sparring an average of two times per week.

“He’s got a lot of energy,” Patterson said of Baltiero.

“We kept him busy.”

By bringing the gold medal home from the latest Boxing Ontario Golden Gloves, Baltiero has qualified to fight in the Canadian National Super Channel Championships at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort Community in Victoria, B.C. April 23-27, 2019. From there, he could earn a spot in the Canadian Winter Games to be hosted by St. John’s, Nfld.

In the meantime, Patterson hopes to prepare Baltiero with a club show fight between now and the nationals in British Columbia. One of Patterson’s other boxers, Tyler St. John-Worth of Tilbury, was scheduled to fight in the 2019 Ontario Golden Gloves, but suffered a broken nose two days earlier. Patterson hopes to schedule a club show fight next year against the winner from what would have been St. John-Worth’s 64 kg male novice division.

The Kings got goals from Matyas Mach, Filip Kafka and Bryce Tracey however throughout the third they could not buy a goal. The game ended 4-3 for Niagara.

Saturday night the Kings were in London to take on the London Lakers. The first period the Kings Zachary Dillen, who was held to only a single point versus Niagara, came out firing. He scored a pair of goals within 19 seconds. The game ended a 6-2 win for the Kingsville Kings.

Sunday afternoon at the Castle the Kings found their stride again downing Oshawa 11-1. After the game, the Kings had an open skate for fans sponsored by Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens and Group Hug Apparel.

A player with the Essex Atom AE Ravens picks up one of the larger donations for this year’s Leamington Flyers Teddy Bear Toss at Highbury Canco Arena Thursday, Dec. 6. This year, a new local record of more than 430 stuffed animals were thrown onto the ice after the first Flyers goal. The event was again sponsored by Leamington Century 21.

Ryan Gagnier wrapped up the scoring by outrunning a Maroons’ defenseman and sliding across the crease to beat Harris to his right side.

Jeffery and Kade McKibbon drew helpers on the final marker.

“We had a bit of nerves at the start of the game, but then took the bull by the horns and earned the win,” explained Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “We’re working on being a good defensive team and since the trade, we’ve averaged less than two goals against per game — it helps when you have strong goaltending too.’

For Tetreault, who spent his rookie year as a 16-yearold with the Maroons, the December 6 goal was his first game winner of the season.

“It’s a great feeling, especially against your old team,” he explained of the tiebreaker. “Where any team can beat any other team, this is a huge win for us. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ll build on the positives.

On a National Hockey League web forum that I like to peruse from time to time, someone wondered aloud why such charitable events are not hosted by NHL teams. It turns out

there are several answers to that question. For one, there’s the liability issue. In a society where everyone jumps at the chance to strike it rich via frivolous yet somehow legitimate lawsuits, many teams and leagues worry that a rather hard teddy bear nose hitting a spectator in the head could wind up putting them out several thousand dollars.

Now imagine 18,500 fans throwing about twice as many toys onto the ice. Network execs would lose their minds, and Bettman et al certainly couldn’t have that. For teams that do participate, I hope those games never come down to scoreless overtime.

It’d be awkward to have to wait until the OTHER team scores before tossing their donations.

For fans to throw stuff onto the ice isn’t quite the experience it once was.

Bantam Stars shut out Sabre Cats The Southpoint Bantam Stars battled the LaSalle Sabre Cats on Sunday evening, Dec. 9 at the Unico Rink.

The Bantam Stars scored three unanswered goals en route to a 3-0 win. Stars’ goals were scored by Brooke DaCosta, Meagan Derksen and Shannon Harris. Assists were by Ava Hildebrandt, Kaitlynn Pickard and Meghan Simpson.

Evan Gualtieri played magnificently in net for the Lady Stars as she absolutely shut the door to get the shutout.

The Lions appeared to sink the equalizer with 1:22 to go, but officials declared that the play had first been whistled dead.

The Mustangs registered the game winner just beyond the midway point of the third when Futo wired a wrist shot that beat Newman’s trapper.

Leamington pulled to within a goal about three minutes later when a screened ice level shot from the point was deflected and sent skidding past Hendry during an LDSS power play. Church, a Grade 9 student, scored the goal while the lone assist went to Tiessen.

utes of play.

“A lot of guys are still adjusting to not playing with contact,” explained Lions coach Butch Rickeard in reference to his team’s body checking penalties. “Still, we’ve got to increase our discipline level for sure.”

Rickeard also explained that many of his team’s strug-

gles were similar to what transpired in their 5-1 season opening loss to the Riverside Rebels.

“We’ve got to find ways to generate some offense,” he said. “We have to come up with more shots, create lanes and make it difficult for their goalie to see the puck. It has to be a team approach — we

don’t have a couple guys who are going to score 30-40 goals for us.”

The Lions’ next game will be played Wednesday, Dec. 12 against the rival Cardinal Carter Cougars. The two teams will again meet Tuesday, Dec. 18. Both games will start at 3 p.m.

Kingsville Novice Green overcomes slow start for a win Essex Blue was in Kingsville Saturday afternoon, Dec. 8, to take on the Kingsville Green Machine in Novice Local League action.

The teams traded chances early but both goaltenders were up to the challenge. The Machine was first to get on the board as offensive defenseman Quinn Monminie found a seam and drove to the net, making no mistake midway through the first to put the home squad up by one. Keaton Morphet and Jasper Dunford also found the twine to get Green out in front by 3 at the end of the first period.

Essex would solve Kingsville’s rookie netminder William Loncke early in the second after the mention of a “shutout” was overheard during the intermission. That would be all Essex could muster on this day as Loncke stood tall between the pipes to pick up his first win.

Another milestone first was Rocco Baillargeon lighting the lamp on a wicked shot for career goal number one. Alexander Pallotto, Colby Snoei, Monminie (3) and Morphet (2) rounded out the scoring with a notable assist going to Jace Pepper who showcased his howitzer from the blueline.

From that point, the Rebels put Nicholas Manzon between the pipes to keep the Cougars from adding to the scoresheet.

The game winning goal was scored early in the third period on a play that started with a turnover near the Cardinal Carter blue line. Zylstra committed to puck carrier Joe Dib on the ensuing rush, and despite a right to left lunge across his crease, couldn’t prevent Stephan Kezic from potting his team’s second goal.

With the 4:20 p.m. curfew looming, the Cougars bench pulled Zylstra for the sixth skater with about eight minutes left on the game clock. Aidan Afonso put the game away with what would

Novice Major A loses to Cobras

Southpoint Novice Major A’s Karly Franklin ready for action against the Kent Cobras.

(Submitted Photo)

The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals travelled to Tilbury this past Sunday, Dec. 9 for a game against the Kent Cobras.

Right off the opening face-off, Jonathan Recker won the draw backwards where Tyler Thomas picked up the puck, spun around and made a nice pass to Brayden Foster. Foster beat their defenseman wide then wired a hard wrist shot high blocker to take the early lead just nine seconds into the game.

Kent tied the game three minutes into the second, but the Caps battled back and scored the equalizer. Zack Bradley passed back to Charlie Ketler at the point who shot on net. Sloan Smith found the rebound and let one go on net, having it trickle in over the line.

Five minutes into the third, Kent again evened the score while playing four-on-four. Then, with 4:25 remaining, Kent scored on a power play to take the lead.

Southpoint was unable to capitalize on any of their chances the rest of the way, resulting in a disappointing 3-2 loss.

On Wednesday, Dec. 12, Cardinal Carter will take on the rival Leamington Lions starting at 3 p.m. The two teams will meet again Tuesday, Dec. 18, also with a 3 p.m. opening faceoff.

Intermediate Stars host Outlaws The Southpoint White Intermediate Stars played host to the Chatham Outlaws on Sunday night, Dec. 9.

The Stars came ready to play as they scored the first four goals of the game; however, the Outlaws added two goals late in this exciting match-up that ended with a final score of 4-2.

Kennedy Hodgson and Bryanna Rodrigues sparked the Stars’ offence scoring two goals each and Charlene Smith notched the lone assist.

Long-anticipated win for Peewee Minors

Owen Rego guards the net for the Southpoint Peewee Minors in a weekend game versus Amherstburg.

(Submitted Photo)

They say that Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week. That could not have been more true for the Southpoint Capitals Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor team this past weekend. Facing the Amherstburg Stars on home ice, it was a battle from the get-go with both sides hungry for a win.

The first period was scoreless and the intensity was building. The Caps drew first blood at the 8:08 mark in the second, hammered home by Matteo Pereira and assisted

by Nick Mastromatteo and Christopher McLean.

Owen Rego stood tall between the pipes for the Caps and his anticipation of his very first shutout of the season grew with every save.

The second period ended with the Caps leading 1-0.

The third period saw the Caps deny a seemingly guaranteed goal and the fans stood witness to a goalie happy dance. It was not a moment born of arrogance, it was simple, genuine happiness. The kind that only comes from pure disbelief after facing an uphill struggle of adversity and finally grasping some light (however short-lived) from the end of the tunnel.

At 11:43 in the third, Amhertburg hit their mark and tied the game. Tensions mounted and Tyler Franklin found himself caught in a questionable penalty. With his line working hard on the penalty kill, Christopher McLean drew Amherstburg into a web of two penalties on the same play and gave the Caps a 4-on-3 advantage. Liam Ouellette seized the opportunity and rifled home a point shot on the power play at the 4:22 mark, assisted by Colton Selwood and Max Youssef.

The kids held it here until the buzzer sounded and sealed the win for Southpoint.
