Premier visits as province moves ahead on Highway 3 widening

By Mark Ribble Premier Doug Ford visited the region on Monday, March 11, along with Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria and Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy.

The trio was on hand in Kingsville Monday morning to announce the start of the next phase of Highway 3 being widened from just east of Essex to just west of Leamington.

The phase will include 15.6 kilometres from the Arner Townline to just west of county Rd. 31 and will encompass the widening of five existing intersections, the addition of traffic signals to three

other intersections and resurfacing existing lanes.

The Premier also announced a $50 million contribution to new interchanges on the EC Row Expressway at Banwell Road, joining the previously announced interchange at Lauzon Parkway — both to help with traffic leading to the new battery plant and eventually, the new regional hospital.

“By widening Highway 3 and building the Banwell and Lauzon Parkway interchanges, we’re building the transportation infrastructure needed to tackle gridlock and support the region’s growing economy,” said Premier

Ford. “While previous governments ignored the province’s infrastructure needs, we’re getting it done for Windsor-Essex by getting shovels in the ground as part of our $28 billion plan to build roads and highways.”

“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is proud to deliver game-changing projects that will get drivers in Windsor-Essex where they need to go, faster than ever,” said Minister Sarkaria. “We will continue to invest in infrastructure that creates meaningful jobs and saves families and businesses time and money.”

Preliminary prepara-

tions have begun along Highway 3 with the re-

moval of trees along the highway in recent days.

Waterfront bike path underway The Municipality of Leamington has announced the continuation of enhancements to its waterfront area and a key component of the Waterfront Destination Master Plan.

Board of Works staff are preparing to construct a dedicated bike path on the promenade, extending from the Leamington Marina to the dock.

Despite the current restriction against bicycles on the promenade, some individuals still ride their bikes in this area, leading to an intermingling of cyclists and pedestrians.

Recognizing the need to create a more harmonious and accessible environ-

ment for all, the municipality has initiated the installation of a dedicated bike path. This enhancement will provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for pedestrians, cyclists, and individuals with disabilities.

To facilitate the project, the municipality has initiated the removal of the ‘tips’ of some of the gardens on the promenade.

This operation is expected to continue over the next few weeks.

It is important to note that this will only affect a minor portion of the gardens, with approximately 85% remaining intact, preserving the natural beauty of the waterfront.

The new bike path is anticipated to be completed in late spring/early summer.

“We recognize the value of our waterfront as a key asset for both residents and visitors alike,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

“Introducing a new dedicated bike path along our promenade significantly boosts both safety and accessibility, while also elevating the experience for everyone who visits. I am happy to see this project come to life, as it represents another step toward realizing our vision for a vibrant, accessible waterfront that everyone can enjoy.”

Work has begun on removing the triangular shaped garden tips from Leamington’s promenade to make way for a bike path.

Girardin family looking for relatives One of Point Pelee’s pioneer families is looking to have a get-together inside Point Pelee National Park on Sunday, April 28.

The Girardin family has been around the park for several generations and descendants are invited to participate in the gathering of cousins.

Wendy Butt is organizing the gathering to take place at the Delaurier Homestead at Point Pelee on April 28 at 11 am. She’s hoping to recreate an iconic photo.

If you’d like to contact Wendy, look her up on Facebook and she will give you more details.

Pearl (Girardin) Collison was her grandmother and Pearl had several Girardin siblings, including Charles, Levi, Everett, George, Tom, Louise, Sarah, Sally, Grace, Barb, Ester and Leona.

It’s expected that there are hundreds of cousins just from this one branch of the Girardin family.

SECC partners with She Support Drive South Essex Community Council (SECC) has partnered with the She Support Drive to collect donations for those in need in the community.

Donations of hygiene products as well as undergarments, bath towels, cleaning supplies, dollar store gift cards, grocery store gift cards, bus passes and other do-

nated items will be gratefully accepted until April 8 at SECC offices in Leamington (215 Talbot St. E.) and Kingsville (313 Main St. E., Unit 21).

Visit SECC on Facebook for more information or a more detailed list of most-needed items.

Malia Afonso performs for US and Canadian officials

By Mark Ribble When Cardinal Carter student Malia Dilana Afonso recently received a special invitation to a reception for Team Canada at the Detroit Athletic Club, she naturally assumed it was for a hockey team.

The invitation, which came from the Consul General of Canada in De-

troit — Colin Bird — invited Malia to perform the Canadian and American national anthems at the reception on Tuesday, March 5.

Much to her surprise, the Team Canada they were referring to was a government team made up of the Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Kirsten Hillman, and Canadian cabinet ministers Francois-Philippe Champagne and Mary Ng. The popular 17-year-old has performed the national anthems at hockey games, basketball games and other special events, but this would be her first time at a political event and she did her country proud.

A hand-written note given to her by Mr. Bird during the reception read, “Dear Malia, thank you so much for your beautiful voice tonight. You made the event sing!

On behalf of Canada, thank you!”

As excited as Malia was to be there, her mom Lucilia was Malia Dilana Afonso poses on equally ecstatic.

“This was definitely the iconic stairway inside the Detroit Athletic Club on March 5. an experience for the

books and as I watched this 17-year-old easily engage with officials and go-getters two and three times her age, I was beyond proud,” said Mom. Mingling with officials from both countries was certainly a highlight for the young singer and she was flooded with compliments on her performance, with many of the Americans shocked she could do their anthem so well too.

She was introduced to many of the attendees by the heads of mission operations for the Canadian Consulate, Pamela Ambundo and Steve Neves.

“I know this was a political networking event, but I’m nobody, just there to sing, yet the warmth and eye contact was insane,” said Malia. “Really awesome people.”

She was also in awe of Minister Francois-Phillipe Champagne, who made a big entrance.

“Did you see him come in?” she asked her mom.

“He’s not even a big man and it was like Moses parting the Red Sea.” All-in-all it was quite an experience for Malia and her mom and just another thing to add to her already impressive performance resumé.

They’re magically delicious!

RIB’S RAMBLINGS Mark Ribble I don’t eat a lot of cereal anymore, but when I do, it’s usually something that would have been considered healthy back in the day.

I’m not sure any of it is healthy in the true sense of the word — especially with the amount of sugar I put on it, but I find as I get older, my trips down the cereal aisle are more nostalgic than anything.

The number of cereal brands that

have survived over the years surprises me.

The old standards are still there, of course. Corn Flakes, Shredded Wheat and Cheerios — with all of their newfangled variations — take up a good one-quarter of the shelf space in that aisle.

Let’s not forget Special K and the Raisin Brans.

Along with those ‘healthier’ choices, you have your sugary regulars, such as Froot Loops, Cap’n Crunch and Frosted Flakes.

The earliest cereal I can remember in our household — besides porridge — was Muffets. My mom would boil up some water and pour it over the Muffet puck (as I liked to call it) and you in-

First traffic lights in Leamington This photo taken in 1927 looks east along Talbot Street from the Four Corners in the centre of Leamington. The light post includes Hwy 18 (now renamed Hwy 20), Seacliff Park, Point Pelee and Golf Club (which opened a year earlier).

The cars are angle parked because they were shorter than the cars today. Henry Ford was still building the Model T in 1927 (its final year).

stantly had a hot cereal to enjoy.

Nowadays, I’m not sure I could handle someone putting hot water in my cereal, but that’s what we did.

Drain the Muffet and add spoonfuls of brown sugar and nice cold milk and you were all set for a busy day.

We also had Shredded Wheat — cousin of the Muffet — which was a truly Canadian cereal at the time.

It seemed then that three companies controlled the cereal market: General Mills, Kellogg’s and Post.

They all had their share of sugary cereals and otherwise good-for-you cereals, so nobody could really say they were healthier than the other.

Post and Kellogg’s each had a Raisin Bran too.

As my childhood cereal selection got a little wider, I was able to shop with my mom and — here’s the bonus of being the baby of the family with seven years between Pat and I — I could pick out my own cereal.

With my older siblings aging out of the kids’ cereal market, I was able to grab onto brands I hadn’t previously experienced, falling victim to a lot of Saturday morning advertising.

Suddenly, my world was awoken with Lucky Charms, Sugar Crisp and Sugar Smacks. I was in cereal heaven, it seemed.

And it also seemed that they were coming out with new kid-friendly cereals every year.

The Frankenberry/Booberry/Count Chocula boom began when I was about 10 years old, right in my cereal wheelhouse. My love of horror films — even at that young age — was now conjoined with my love of sugary cereal. Sweet!

General Mills had hit a home run with that.

Post countered with the Flintstones-themed flavours — Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles and we were off to the races.

and other musings

Does anyone my age remember a cereal called Crazy Cow? They had chocolate and strawberry flavours and it was famous for turning your milk into chocolate or strawberry milk after the cereal was in your belly.

I don’t think it lasted very long, but I remember that the Pebbles cereals did the same thing anyway.

I also went on a Wheatabix kick for awhile. Now I’m not sure I could even eat that. It really had no taste.

And who can forget the variety packs? It was cool to open the box down the perforated line and use it as a bowl.

I don’t think they perforate them anymore, but you can still find the mini boxes. It seemed the Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies always got eaten last.

On that note, a column about cereal wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Rice Krispies, because after all, it was always fun to listen for the snap, crackle and pop.

I always imagined that Special K and Rice Krispies must be made from the same recipe, only in different shapes.

Did anyone else think that?

Also have to give shoutouts to Alphabits and Honeycomb, both of which I loved, but found they were hard to chew without injuring your mouth.

I never warmed up to Apple Jacks, although the commercials always intrigued me.

My kids lived on a steady diet of Froot Loops and Frosted Mini Wheats and I think they still prefer those.

Many have come and many have gone over the years, but those breakfast staples remain on the shelves to this day.

Currently, we have Raisin Bran in our cupboard, but occasionally I’ll go off the beaten path and grab something that will take me back to my childhood.

Either way, it’s always good to reminisce about those cereals of yesteryear.

My teeth hurt just thinking about them.

As a listener of pop music over the years, if you’re like me, I’m sure you’ve had a song or two or more that sometimes gets stuck in your head and you just can’t seem to remove it.

One of the ones I had, which goes way back to mid-1967, was a song sung by Scott McKenzie called “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers and in Your Hair)”. While it reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, it went all the way up to #1 in Great Britain and is still heard today on many oldies radio and easy-listening stations.

But let’s go back to the beginning. Although he was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on January 10 in 1939 as Philip Wallach Blondhem, and raised in North Carolina and Virginia, Scott would later go on to sing with John Phillips in the folk group The Journeymen. Before that,

Kyra Knapp named economic developer The Municipality of Chatham-Kent has announced Kyra Knapp as the Ontario-funded Economic Developer for Wheatley, embarking on a crucial two-year mission to spearhead the town’s economic revitalization.

This appointment comes in response to the devastating gas explosion in August 2021, with the Wheatley Task Force and Knapp at the helm of a comprehensive recovery and development strategy, fully funded by the province with a budget of $450,000.

Knapp brings to Wheat-

ley her expertise in economic and community development, underpinned by a strong commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Her accolades include being named one of EDCO’s Top 10 Economic Development Professionals in 2021 and securing a spot in Business Elite’s 2023 Top 40 Under 40 in Canada.

Her role will focus on project management for the Wheatley Task Force, driving projects aligned with the municipal-provincial agreement to foster economic growth, supporting business retention

and expansion, engaging with community business leaders, and acting as Wheatley’s ambassador. Her efforts are aimed at promoting recovery and sustainable economic strategies to rebuild and strengthen Wheatley’s community and business landscape.

“We are grateful for the provincial support and for the opportunity from Chatham-Kent to have participated in the selection process,” said Wheatley Task Force Chair Howard Gabert. “We felt that Kyra’s professional back-

ground and leadership attributes made her the ideal candidate to take on this important role. We are confident that she will bring significant momentum to Wheatley’s recovery and help the community move forward in a progressive and positive way.”

carried on this tradition in honour of their late fathers, Turk Dibbley and Mark Beaupre. It is sure to be a great afternoon. Space is limited, first come, first serve.

Looking back ...

From the Leamington Post February 19, 1986 A federal government grant of $22,000 is expected to aid substantially in an effort to establish a bicycle route across Essex County. The money will fund a feasibility study that will establish the best route between Windsor and Point Pelee, according to park superintendent Jim Barlow.

—— Buses in Leamington won’t run on Sunday to aid churchgoers. Last week, Leamington council turned down a request for the service from the Leamington Ministerial Association. Council’s action simply supported a recommendation from its community services committee. The committee recommended the ministerial association contact the bus company with their request.

Leamington’s public transit system is run by C.A. Bailey Ltd. and runs six days a week.

—— Wheatley may soon have the equipment to sweep its own streets. Leamington has advised Wheatley that it is willing to sell its 1966 Wayne sweeper for a nominal sum. For many years, Leamington has completed the task, when asked, and charged for the service. The town purchased a new style sweeper and vacuum about six years ago, although it still used the three-wheeled 1966 model on occasion.

—— Maybe it doesn’t pay to advertise.

A Seacliff Drive West resident had his snowmobile parked at Highway 18 for almost a week with a for sale sign on it.

He moved it next to his residence on the weekend but someone remembered the vehicle and stole it. Mersea Township Police recovered a second snowmobile stolen from the residence of Gary Feltz of Robson Road. Thieves abandoned it on the Chesapeake and Ohio railway tracks, about one mile east of Erie Street.

—— A Leamington company is trying to gauge the interest of housing of senior citizens. And if interest is shown in 30 beds of a potential 75-bed facility, construction is set for early May. The retirement home is the first phase of a total project that will provide a complete care package which considers the entire needs of seniors. It will be built on lands around the Leamington Nursing Home on Franklin, with the retirement home situated immediately south of the existing nursing home.

—— With Scout Appreciation Week underway in Leamington, Scouting and Guiding Canada are holding an open house at the Frank T. Sherk Recreation Complex on Saturday, February 22. Plenty of displays will be featured, along with a special program in the lounge, a local Scout singing group and several skits.

The Essex 73s went ahead 2-0 in their quarter-final series with the Leamington Flyers Monday night in Leamington. Although tied 2-2 after one period, the 73s had the momentum and scored four unanswered goals in the second for a 7-2 win. There were 686 fans out to watch the Great Lakes Junior C series.

Rick Wright and Jeff Brown scored for the Flyers.

From The Wheatley Journal March 1, 1956 Winds of near hurricane velocity on Saturday flattened the framework of the new Tilbury Arena, leaving the erected wooden trusses in splinters. No one was injured as this portion of the new building under construction – at an estimated cost of $36,000 – was hurled to the ground.

Pere Marquette Railway Station: Until August 1999 when a suspicious fire razed it, Leamington citizens were familiar with the Pere Marquette Railway Station on Erie St. N. This was Leamington’s east to west connection and the line was a vital link during both WW1 and WWII. Eventually it became the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway then Penn Central in its final years. It was abandoned in the 1990s and was slated to be moved by a private owner to the lakefront but was destroyed by fire before any action was taken.

Notice of Road Closing Tribunal Order Ontario Land Tribunal Tribunal Ontarien de l’aménagement du territoire The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has applied to the Ontario Land Tribunal under subsection 37(2) of the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.50, for approval of road closings along Highway 3 east of Arner Townline (Essex Road 23) easterly to east of Union Avenue (Essex Road 34), Town of Kingsville, Ministry of Transportation GWP 3021-18-00.

On November 2, 2023 a public video hearing of the Ontario Land Tribunal was held to consider the road closings. On November 30, 2023, the Ontario Land Tribunal approved the closing of four roads where they intersect the Highway 3 right of way.

THE STUDY In 2006, MTO completed a study of Highway 3 from Outer Drive in Windsor easterly 33.5 km to Union Avenue (Essex Road 34), which recommended a series of improvements that was documented in a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR). The TESR was approved in 2006 and MTO has implemented the improvements in three phases with Phase 1 and Phase 2 being constructed in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

Recently, MTO completed a Design Study to review the 2006 TESR approved improvements from east of Arner Townline (Essex Road 23) easterly to east of Union Avenue (Essex Road 34) based on the current transportation and environmental conditions in the Study Area. The Study identified the following road closures as part of the confirmed improvements (Key Plan 1 and 2):

Key Plan 1: Road Closures at Cameron Side Road/Concession Road 9 and Marsh Road/Concession Road 8

• The closure of the intersections with Highway 3 at Cameron Side Road/Concession Road 9, Marsh Road/Concession Road 8, Inman Side Road/South Talbot Road and Upcott Side Road.

Information can be obtained at https://www.hwy3essex.com/ contract2home or from Sivaganesh Tharmabala, P.Eng. Senior Project Engineer, MTO, at (226) 926 8657.

Claims for compensation for injurious affection (reduction in market value of lands or personal and business damages caused by the road closings) must be made within one year of the physical closing of the road, or the right to compensation is lost, as per Section 22 of the Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26. Thereafter a representative of the Ministry of Transportation will evaluate and assess your claim and will notify you of the findings. Should you disagree with the findings you may make use of the provisions set out in the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act and the Expropriations Act. This notice is not to be taken as an admission by the Ministry that your lands will be injuriously affected by the closing, but it is solely to notify you that your rights to compensation, if any, are reserved.

Province invests $380,000 in Canadian women’s sports The Ontario government is investing up to $380,000 in Canadian Women & Sport’s The Next Play program to create more opportunities for girls to be active.

This funding is a part of the $2-million that is being provided through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport to up to 200 community organizations across the province to facilitate accessible, affordable and inclusive

sport and recreation programming.

“Our government is proud to support the continued efforts of Canadian Women & Sport to create more opportunities for girls to realize the benefits of participating in active recreation,” said Neil Lumsden, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “This funding will expand the important impact that The Next Play program is having

in communities across the province, removing barriers and improving the physical and mental well-being of even more Ontarians.”

“The Next Play is arming community-based sport and recreation organizations across Ontario with the tools and resources they need to design sport that truly works for diverse girls. So many organizations and communities are ready to

do this work and we are thrilled to support them,” says Allison Sandmeyer-Graves, CEO at Canadian Women & Sport.

“On International Women’s Day, we’re thrilled to announce this investment from the Ontario government which will provide new opportunities to create lasting change and inspire inclusion in our communities.”

Canadian Women & Sport’s The Next Play

program equips participating organizations with specialized training to counter gender bias in program design and also provides start-up grants to support community initiatives to recruit and

Denise Lea Hartley 1954 – 2024

Denise Lea Hartley, 69 years, passed away peacefully, with her family at her side on Friday, March 8, 2024.

Denise was a quiet, thoughtful and courageous woman. She loved her family deeply and supported her family members with her cheerful presence and positive nature.

After graduating from Leamington District Secondary School, Denise embarked upon her post-secondary education and in 1977 completed a history degree from the University of Windsor. Afterwards, she continued her education at the University of Toronto, and in 1979 completed her Masters Degree in Library Sciences.

Upon her return to Essex County, Denise began her career at Windsor Public Library. For over 30 years, she supported literacy, programming and research for Windsor Library members.

Denise thoroughly enjoyed her retirement and found opportunities to explore her favourite pastimes, singing with the Windsor Community Choir, exploring natural habitats (Essex County Field Naturalist Club), and paddling and competing with the A Breast Or Knot, Wonder Broads and Blazing Paddles Dragon Boat team members. She enjoyed travel destinations both near and far and was especially drawn to the beauty of Algonquin Provincial Park and Point Pelee National Park.

Denise prioritized her family and spent quality time with them. There was always an opportunity for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee and a walk with the dogs, whenever she made her weekly visits to Leamington.

Denise was born on December 9, 1954 in Leamington, Ontario. Her loving parents are Maxine Hartley and the late Wayne “Pat” Hartley. She is survived by her brothers Mark and Guy (Irene) and sister Karen. She will be greatly missed by her nephews Shane (Lisa) and family, Mac and Colin, and nieces Cecilia ( Jordan) and Bridget, as well as her best canine friend Lena.

We will remember Dee when the birds of spring appear, in the quiet of a nature walk, through the last flutter of the monarch’s pilgrimage and when we are absorbed by a particularly good book, one that ignites our interest to the very core. She will be greatly missed by many who were privileged to walk beside her.

Cremation has taken place. Memorial visiting at Reid Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631), is on Friday, March 15, 2024 from 11 am until time of Memorial Service to celebrate Denise’s life, at 12 noon. Interment to follow at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to Erie Shores Hospice would be appreciated.

Family and friends are invited to share words of comfort and remembrance at www.reidfuneralhome.ca

Flyers up 2-0 on Georgetown in opening playoff series

By C. Scott Holland There couldn’t have been a better time for the Leamington Flyers to cure whatever had plagued them during the regular season’s final six games.

Facing the Georgetown Raiders in their first round series, the Flyers won the series opener 6-2 at home last Friday night, March 8, then traveled to Georgetown on Saturday where they took game two 2-0. The Flyers now lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

“I was really happy with our team’s commitment to our game plan,” stated head coach Dale Mitchell after their 6-2 victory in front of 950 fans on Friday. “Of course, we didn’t like the end of our season but we knew we had to come out strong in front of our (hometown) crowd. Our effort in game one will have to continue in a similar manner and take it one game at a time.”

Initially, fans may have wondered if the late-season jinx would stick around for playoffs and more, so when Georgetown grabbed a 1-0 and then 2-1 lead in the first period, after knotting the contest 2-2, there was plenty of Flyers’ fireworks.

The start of the game was delayed by about 30 minutes as an errant shot by a Georgetown player during warmups shattered the glass behind the net.

Georgetown struck first with an early goal, but the Flyers tied the score 1-1 at 6:16 when Alex Cunningham took Cayden Faust’s feed and deftly flicked the

puck past Raider goalie Finn Marshall from a sharp angle.

After the Raiders took a 2-1 lead on the powerplay, Cunningham and Matthew Thomas hooked passes on the powerplay to Cam Arquette, who rifled a shot that beat Marshall and knotted the game.

From that juncture, the Flyers’ offense kicked into high gear while their defense kept Georgetown off the score sheet.

On the heels of Arquette’s tally, Nick Mahy and Adrian Bosev sent Chris O’Flaherty to Marshall’s doorstep where O’Flaherty backhanded the go-ahead goal.

Nathan Leek followed at the 18:00 mark when he potted Faust’s rebound into the completely open left side of the Raiders’ net.

The crowd erupted loudly with three seconds left in the period when Faust and Arquette went on a shorthanded twoon-nobody break with Arquette zinging the fifth marker from the left side.

The second period was rather calm before Nathan Leek connected with Brayden Degelas, who rifled the final goal two minutes into the third.

Gatto finished the game with 35 saves while Marshall stopped 34.

On Saturday night in Georgetown, it was a scoreless battle for 28 minutes before O’Flaherty stuffed a goal past Marshall after having just missed a chance seconds earlier.

Leamington clung to that one-goal lead until the Raiders lifted Mar-

O’Flaherty and Cam Arquette both narrowly missed empty-net goals before Adrian Bosev tabbed one with four seconds left for a 2-0 win and a 2-0 series lead.

Cavaliers win SWOSSAA title at Sun Parlour Club The Sun Parlour Curling Club hosted the SWOSSAA curling finals on Tuesday, March 5, with two local teams competing in the boys division.

The Kingsville Cavaliers, Leamington Lions, Wallaceburg Titans and Ursuline College Lancers competed on the boys’ side, with Kingsville coming out on top in an exciting final.

In the girls division, it

was teams from L’Essor, Blenheim, Sarnia Northern and Villanova in the final four. Sarnia Northern came out on top in the final.

The LDSS Lions lost a heartbreaker to Wallaceburg by a 4-3 score, while Kingsville trounced Ursuline College 9-1 to advance to the final against Wallaceburg.

In the final, Wallaceburg had the lead late, but

the Cavaliers came back to win 6-5.

In high school curling, teams qualify as girls’ teams if they are all girls, but boys’ teams only need have at least one boy on the team. The Cavaliers iced a team with three girls and a boy to win their boys’ championship.

Kingsville will now head to the OFSAA championships in Kingston.

Pet of the Week DORI

The Talbot Trail Blazers U14A hockey team completed their Bluewater Hockey League round robin playoffs with three wins last week.

On Tuesday, the Blazers hosted the LaSalle Sabres in Leamington.

After a slow and sloppy start, late in the second Nash Fuerth kept the puck in at the line, tapping it to Ben Liebrock who made no mistake and roofed his snapshot to get on the board.

Four minutes into the third, Fuerth chipped the puck back to Jojo McLeod

Greetings admirer, I know it maybe tempting to pet me but I consider myself fine art; you can look but you can only touch on my terms. I have a hard time adjusting to new environments and routines so you’ll need to be patient with me if you decide to take me home. I would really prefer to be the only cat in the home and I don’t really have any experience with dogs. I know I’m asking a lot of my future home but if you can gain my trust, it’ll will certainly be worth it.

Three minutes into the game, Brayden Foster intercepted a pass and stepped in over the line, wiring his snapshot over the goalie’s shoulder to open the scoring. With three minutes left in the opening frame, Owen Derksen passed back to Fuerth, who ripped his snapper in high blocker to increase the lead.

Late in the second, McLeod hit Tyler Thomas with a pass that fed Brayden Foster deep, and he dished it back to Thomas who one-timed it home.

Erie scored with seven seconds left in the third, resulting in a 3-1 win for the Blazers. Ondic, between the pipes, earned the win.

The Blazers finished with a perfect 8-0 record and are now preparing to face off with the Storm in an OMHA series, with the winner moving on and representing the Bluewater League at the Provincial Championships.

Finally, with 1:04 left, Tyler Thomas exited his zone and hit Jonathan Recker who skated in wide left around the defence and ripped his wrister in low glove.

Kevin Ondic earned the shutout in his team’s 4-0 victory.

On Thursday the Blazers traveled to Windsor to take on the Jr. Spitfires, easily cruising to a 7-0 win.

Kelton McCabe led the attack firing in two, while Lucas O’Neil, Mariuz, Fuerth, McLeod and Liebrock added singles.

After dropping game three at home, the Sharks — on the back of a 40save performance by Ethan Handley — regrouped with a 4-1 victory in game four at Mooretown last Wednesday, March 6.

Nursing a one-goal lead after two on an unassisted tally by Brady Drouillard late in the middle frame, a Shannon Olson shorthanded goal at the 19-second mark of the third would hold up as the winner.

The Sharks would up the count to 3-0 with a Kyle Beau powerplay tally at five minutes and close out their scoresheet with a last-minute powerplay goal by Olson.

Mooretown could only respond to close the gap

to 3-1 midway through the third.

With the series on the line on Friday night in Wheatley, the Sharks radically tightened up their defensive play with Handley only facing 19 shots. He was top-notch throughout with many quality saves.

Being outshot by over double, only opposing netminder Chartrand kept the visitors close with some miraculous saves and stealing a victory.

Midway through the first, Kyle Bleau gave the locals the lead with Mooretown tying the score midway through the second.

This would set the stage for a thrilling third period which saw the Sharks kill off three consecutive penalties in a shutdown effort. With just over a minute left, smooth skating defenceman Kyle Kelly on an end-to-end rush, beat Chartrand short side top shelf that Judah Raf-

foul says is “where your mama keeps the peanut butter.”

Looking ahead now to Lakeshore, Coach Josh Carnevale felt the boys responded well after the home loss.

“We understood Chartrand could steal a game or two and he gave it his best shot,” he said.

“Handley outshone him though in the end. We’ve been this close before and we’ve added guys with key playoff experience.

We believe we can get this done.”

The series began Tuesday in Belle River and returns home tonight (Wednesday at 7:30). Friday, March 15 the series moves to Belle River, then is back in Wheatley on Saturday, March 16 at 4:30 pm. If necessary, game five will be in Belle River on March 19, with game six on Monday, March 19 at home and game seven back in Belle River on Wednesday, March 20.

Before last Friday’s game, the Wheatley Sharks held a memorial faceoff to honour longtime fan, Rollie Imeson. Mr. Imeson has been an avid hockey fan his whole life and was the longest season ticket holder for the Sharks. At many home games, he was accompanied by his grandchildren. His son George mentioned that Rollie just loved to watch hockey, and on many occasions he could be found watching beer league games to fill in his time. Eighteen members of his family were on hand for the ceremonial puck drop. Here, granddaughter Jessica Imeson assists great-grandson Liam with the honours. Taking part are Flags captain Ethan Kerby, left, and Sharks captain Braedon Caetano.

their fourth and final tournament of the season.

Coming off a strong performance in their previous tournament, the team was eager to face the challenge ahead.

Their first game took place at the Notre Dame University Campus on the Lefty’s Rink, the home venue of the university’s hockey team.

The Stars faced off against the Washington County Ice Lynx from the greater Milwaukee area.

The Southpoint team showed their readiness from the start, with Teegan St. Aubin scoring the Stars’ first goal less than two minutes into the opening period. Stella Bavetta and Evelyn Schmidt added to the tally, giving the Stars a comfortable lead.

Although the Ice Lynx managed to score once, the Stars quickly responded with a goal from Braelynn Hutchison. The third period saw Stella Bavetta scoring her second goal, securing a 6-3 victory for the Stars.

In their second game against the Indy Jr. Fuel, the Stars once again displayed their strong start.

Bavetta swiftly maneuvered through defenders to score the opening goal, giving the Stars an early lead.

The game turned into a defensive battle with both teams showcasing great defensive play and goaltending.

The Stars managed to maintain their lead with Ciara Bondy scoring a late goal, resulting in a 2-0 shutout with Kinsley Sutts earning the shutout with her exceptional performance in goal.

The Stars’ third game was a highly anticipated matchup against the undefeated Waukesha Warhawks, also from the Milwaukee area.

The game proved to be a thrilling contest with end-to-end action.

The Warhawks struck first, but the Stars quickly retaliated with a goal from Stella Bavetta. Both teams continued to trade goals throughout the game. Teegan St. Aubin and Evelynn Schmidt

found the back of the net for the Stars, but the Warhawks managed to tie the game at 4-4.

With the game ending in a tie, both teams advanced to the tournament final.

In the final game, the Stars faced the Warhawks once again. Determined to seize victory, the Stars played one of their best games of the season. Braelyn Hutchison set the tone with an impressive end-to-end rush, opening the scoring for the Stars.

Aubree Curchin extended the lead with a well-placed shot from the point, assisted by Stella Bavetta and Adelyn Mongeau. Finnley Warkentin added another goal, making it 3-1 for the Stars. The team showcased their defensive prowess to maintain the lead, and Stella Bavetta sealed the victory with an empty net goal in the final minutes. Ciara Bondy’s late goal put the exclamation mark on a 5-1 triumph, leading the Stars to the tournament championship.
