Residents of south Leamington’s most rural areas will get a much-needed and long-awaited boost in their internet service in the coming months.

The federal and provincial governments are investing $392,000 locally to increase access to fast, reliable internet service to more than 480 homes in the Point Pelee Drive, Seacliff Drive, Road B, C, D and E, as well as Marentette Beach.

In partnership with Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology Inc. (SWIFT), the completion of the project should occur in December of this year.

Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Trevor Jones, who is also the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, made the announcement on Friday, October 7 at Freddy’s Restaurant on Point Pelee Drive.

“Today is an important day for many residents and businesses in Leamington, who can finally get enhanced broadband internet service,” said Jones. “We recognize the valuable role that rural communities play in our province.”

The contract has been awarded to SWIFT, which is a not-for-profit corporation initiated by local municipalities to address connectivity in Southwestern Ontario.

The local initiative is part of a $63 million investment by both upper levels of government to bring highspeed internet to nearly 280,000 rural Ontario households by 2025.

Leamington Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke brought greetings on behalf of the municipality and said he was grateful to the province for the announcement.

“We are pleased that the governments of Canada and Ontario are bringing high-speed internet to our rural areas,” he said. “We welcome this announcement. It’s what our rural residents need and deserve.”

EARLY HALLOWEEN AT PROVINCIAL PARK

Wheatley Provincial Park was once again bustling with trick-or-treaters on Saturday, October 8 as they held their annual Halloween night for campers and visitors alike. The Thanksgiving weekend tradition has been going on for a number of years inside the park, with most campsites decorated with ghosts, goblins and scary creatures to entice the kids to stop for a visit. Above is one of the creative campsites which featured a giant jack-in-the-box and some scary clowns on a swing.

Youth room opens at complex

By Mark Ribble Youth seeking help with mental health issues now have a local office to visit inside the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre.

Maryvale, a long-stand-

ing accredited children’s mental health treatment centre serving Windsor-Essex youth and their families, has recently opened a satellite office inside the complex.

The office will be known as the Abraham Orthodontics Youth Room and will enable youth from 13 to 18 to access much-needed mental health services in their home community.

The new office is a partnership between Maryvale, the Municipality of Leamington and Abraham Orthodontics.

The collaboration has come together through the creativity of the municipality and the generosity of Dr. Max Abraham and his company.

risen over past months.

“During the pandemic, in response of the demands for services in this area, we increased the available services from three days to five days each week, permitting us to see as many as 30-35 more youth each year,” said Maryvale’s Executive Director Jenny Letink.

“However, this commitment meant that we had to find a way to assume the cost of the rental rate to sustain this level of service. Now with this collaborative partnership, we will be able to provide this level of support ongoingly.”

She is grateful to the municipality and Abraham Orthodontics for their contributions to the satellite office.

“Through this collab-

orative partnership, the Town of Leamington has significantly reduced our rental rate for the use of this office, they then initiated our introduction to Dr. Max Abraham, which resulted in a generous donation from Abraham Orthodontics to further offset these costs,” Letink said. “Maryvale can bring our services to the youth and families and eliminate the time and cost of travel as a barrier to receiving service.”

A clinically trained therapist from Maryvale provides regularly scheduled counselling for youth three days per week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) at the new office, and offers walk-in services every Wednesday from 10 am to 4 pm, where youth or their fam-

ilies can come to the office and receive a single session of direct support from a clinically trained therapist. In addition, a family navigation worker will attend one day a week to help underserved youth and their families connect and navigate the local mental health and addictions system.

“We are beyond thrilled to have the Community Youth Room open and utilized by Maryvale to deliver services desperately needed by our youth,” says Christen Abraham, community outreach coordinator and co-founder of Abraham Orthodontics. “We always seek ways to support children in our community beyond their smiles and are honoured to be a small part of this effort.”

HONOURING OUR HEROES

The Leamington Hometown Heroes program has reached 84 banners this year, with an additional 11 being added for 2022. The banners are displayed on uptown poles and light posts on Princess, Mill, Erie and Talbot Streets. These banners are paid for by the families of the veterans in order to honour their service to their country. At a time of year when we are most aware of our veterans and their services, it’s good to pause and admire them for their bravery and commitment to community. The program is operated by an independent committee in partnership with the Municipality of Leamington and the Uptown BIA. The two banners pictured here on Princess Street are part of the batch of 11 new banners for this year.

and other musings

It’s that exciting time of year again Don’t let the warm weather fool you.

Fall is upon us and the leaves are turning so quickly it’s really noticeable from day to day.

With Thanksgiving weekend being somewhat early this year, we’ve managed to quietly slip into the autumn season.

No pomp and circumstance, no 76 trombones, no giant ceremony. It’s here.

Kids playing minor hockey have already started to play their games and the NFL is heading into week 6 in a season full of upsets and amazing comebacks.

The NHL season kicks off this week with everyone anxious to see if their favourite team can sustain a respectable record over an 82-game season The Flyers and Sharks are

well underway.

As for those baseball playoffs, I fully expected to be writing about the Blue Jays this week but alas they couldn’t get the offence going in game one of their wild card series against Seattle and then blew an 8-1 lead late in game two, bowing out of the playoffs swiftly.

Hunting season is in full swing and the golf courses are teeming with golfers trying to get those last hacks in before the weather no longer permits.

Other fall things are happening with Halloween right around the corner, followed by Remembrance Day, which then makes way for the Christmas season.

Yes, I said it.

It’s coming, ladies and gentlemen, whether we are ready

or not.

Here’s hoping that the predicted COVID wave doesn’t materialize and we get our holiday season back to a more normal routine.

We had to cancel our staff Christmas party last year due to a holiday surge of the good old Corona. It would be nice to be able to have something this year, without worrying about who dipped into the spinach dip and touched everything with their fingers.

I’ve been asked to help with Remembrance Day this year and agreed to do it simply because I hold the utmost respect for that day and the veterans we honour.

If your family or organization would like to place a wreath to honour your veter-

and I’ll hook you up Mark with the invincible Tom Brown, who is in charge of the wreaths for Wheatley Legion Branch 324.

The committee organizing this year’s Remembrance Day service is working to bring Leamington a great service complete with a march down Mill Street to the cenotaph.

The veterans banners are up on the poles in the uptown area and will remain there until after November 11.

So fall is definitely moving forward and it’s my favourite time of year — always has been.

I’ve become a non-fan of snow but I still enjoy the colours and that distinctive smell

Ray Laliberte of Kingsville owned a nice 1954 Packard sedan when I first met Ray at a car show at Kingsville District High School. His Packard went to Kingston in October of last year in exchange for a very nice Windsor-built 1947 Dodge Special Deluxe coupe which Ray has driven only to Heritage Village and other spots close to home following knee surgery.

Ray’s 1947 Dodge Special Deluxe coupe looks and drives like a new car.

The previous owner was a retired RCAF aircraft mechanic who gave the

of burning leaves, pumpkin pie, cool morning breath over the harvested corn fields, early sunsets and the geese flying overhead.

As much as most people love summer, I prefer those cooler nights and hazy days with the sights and sounds of people getting ready for the busiest time of year.

Fall election season is in full swing and we are seeing lots of action from the candidates.

And I’d be amiss if I didn’t mention that Christmas Day is only 74 days away.

You’re welcome.

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk Dodge whatever it needed. The odometer reads 63,000 miles and that is probably original.

The interior is also like new and has a new pushbutton starter that replaces the foot pedal starter of pre-war cars. The radio has its buttons mounted vertically close to the driver so the stations can easily be changed.

Ray thinks his car was probably built in the Chrysler plant on McDougall Road in Wind-

sor, where trucks were later built. His car has a wheelbase of 119.5 inches, identical to the U.S. Dodges of that year.

New cars were in big demand after the war with some customers waiting more than a year for a brand new car. I’m sure the original owner of Ray’s ’47 Dodge coupe would say it was worth the wait!

New banners adorn Arts Centre; collaboration with Speedprint

By Mark Ribble Shoppers and visitors to the uptown area of Leamington may have noticed recent additions to the outside façade of the Arts Centre building

on Talbot Street West that bring attention to the centre itself.

Recently, Leamington Arts Centre teamed with Speedprint to produce attention-getting banners

and signage for the outside of the building.

According to Arts Centre Director and Curator Chad Riley, the centre put out a call for sponsors and Speedprint answered that call.

“On behalf of the LAC we are extremely excited about this project and the visibility it will bring to the gallery and the programs we offer,” said Riley. “We couldn’t be more pleased to partner with our friends at Speedprint on this project. They are the professionals and we ended up with top quality banners, great designs and a great experience start to finish. A big thank you to Speedprint, Brian Cornies and his team for putting all this together.

Making the arts visible and bringing awareness to the LAC is so important to the sustainability of the LAC and to the artists in the region.”

There are five banners that hang on the back of the building and very large one that adorns the front — all created by Speedprint with input from Riley and the Arts Centre.

According to the agreement between the two, Speedprint’s logo will adorn any banners at the Centre for the next three years.

“Speedprint sees the value of arts and culture in the community and is pleased to partner with the Leamington Arts Centre on their banner project,” said owner and manager of Speedprint Brian Cornies. “We have worked closely with LAC Director Chad Riley over the years on various events such as the Photo Contest, Arts at the Marina and the Mill Street Market.”

Cornies added that it was an opportunity for the company to give back to the community.

“When Chad approached us about commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the LAC with banners on the outside of the building it was a natural fit for us to be the sponsor,” he said.

“We are able to give back

to the community and at the same time showcase the kind of work we are able to produce.”

The two entities are

both looking forward to working together to keep arts and culture alive in the community.

This week is Fire Prevention Week

Leamington Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week (FPW), October 9-15.

This year’s FPW campaign “Fire won’t wait.

Plan your escape” works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires.

“Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on an early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning,” said Lorraine Carli, vice presi-

dent of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. Residents are encouraged to embrace the 2022 Fire Prevention Week theme.

“It’s important for everyone to plan and practice a home fire escape.

Everyone needs to be prepared in advance so that they know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every home is different, every home fire escape plan will also be different,” said Andrew Baird, Fire Chief.

“Have a plan for everyone in the home. Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Make sure that someone will help them.”

Here are some key home fire escape planning tips: • Make sure your plan meets the needs of all

Kenneth Cullen

Kenneth Arthur “Ken” Cullen passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday, October 2, 2022 just short of his 73rd birthday.

Survived by the love of his life, Susan. Loving father of Rob Cullen and Meg Cullen (Mack).

Proud grandfather of seven, Sebby, Kiera, Larry, Alyssa, Isabel, Stephen and Bruce.

Predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Helen Cullen, and his sister Diane (late Bruce) and their son Stephen. Survived by Stephen’s children. Dearly loved cousins include Mary and Clarence Ware, Donna Rayson, late Kathryn and Jim Managhan, and their families.

Ken was an incredible singer, performing publicly from the age of six. He was also a keyboardist and guitar player.

But his greatest musical passion was sound being done excellently.

After getting his B.Mus.-Performance Voice at University of Western Ontario, Ken spent much of his adult life in the Oakville and Collingwood areas, returning to Essex County after his children were grown. He was overjoyed at being able to reconnect with many of the musicians he had performed with since his youth and delighted in making many new musical friendships. Ken loved and he was loved.

In 2004 Ken landed at New Song Church in Windsor, and was blessed to find healing in his heart, in his fellowship with Pastor Kevin. He found a new sense of fulfilment in many building and sound projects there over the years, including a current sound project.

When Ken relocated to Leamington, he took great pleasure in living near his childhood home, in what had been the cornfield where he and his best friend and performance partner, Dennis Knight (The Sunshine Boys), played in as children. Despite his allergies, Ken’s life revolved around his herd of fur-babies. Ken’s home enabled him to have what he called “The Zoo.” He loved to sign off as Cat Man Cullen, much to the chagrin of his beloved dog and birthday buddy, Gershwin.

We can only imagine the incredible music that Heaven is experiencing as he is reunited with so many beloved bandmates. What a thrill to sing praises to God, without hums, buzzes, or bad cables to contend with!

In following Ken’s wishes, cremation will take place, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

If desired, memorial donations may be made to New Song Church by contacting Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631).

Family and friends may share their memories online at www.reidfuneralhome.ca

your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so that when one sounds, they all sound.

• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.

• Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet.

• Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night.

The Leamington Fire Department is hosting events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign. They were at the Leamington Rona on Tuesday and will be at the Leamington Flyers game on Thursday, October 13, from 6-8:30 pm.

Rickeard receives Prime Minister’s Award

Leamington teacher Butch Rickeard recently received the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in a ceremony in Ottawa.

The long-time Leamington District Secondary School (LDSS) teacher is now teaching history, law and physical education at Public Alternative Secondary School (PASS) and says he’s honoured to receive such an accolade.

“Receiving this award has been an honour and spending the week with the other recipients and the meeting the Prime Minister has reinvigorated me for the next year,” he says. “I really want to thank my colleagues for all the help with projects over the years, specifically

the Canadian and World Studies Department at LDSS and now the staff at PASS. Of course, my family as well for all their support over the years.”

The Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence is awarded annually to 10 teachers across Canada, selected by a committee from Canadian Science & Innovation. The award has been given since 1993 and Rickeard is the second teacher in the GECDSB to receive it, with the last one in 2002. It is considered the highest honour a teacher can receive and included a five-day stay for professional development in Ottawa.

Rickeard was nominated by his colleague Dina Riccio.

Listings are also down for the first time in quite a while which to us indicates that sellers are electing to wait out the uncertainty of the market as well.

The history of Kingsville’s Lewis Dairy

By Stephen Wuerch Back in the fall of 1987, I met some of the Lewis family on the home farm of Mr. Elby Lewis, west of Kingsville.

At the time, the three children of Mr. Lewis (Jack, Mary and J.R.) still lived on the home farm or nearby.

As the family recalled, in 1941 Mr. Elby Lewis purchased a small franchise from Campbell’s Dairy in Essex, operating on 80 quarts per day.

The Lewis family processed their milk initially at Robinson’s Dairy north of Kingsville and delivered to the Essex County communities of North Ridge, Cottam, Essex and Kingsville.

Robinson’s was located just north of the old town limits on the east side of Division Rd.

delivery and handling (weight) charges.

Consequently, it no longer made sense to continue to manage the herd, so the cows were all sold in 1967. From this point on, the dairy purchased milk solely from local operators.

After the death of Mr. Lewis, Jack and J.R. continued the operations until 1975 when J.R. took over the entire operation.

From 1975 until 1979, J.R. Lewis operated the local dairy and deliveries as best as he could, but unfortunately could see the writing on the wall, as Lewis Dairy just couldn’t compete with the much bigger nationals.

Finally, on December 31,

1979, Lewis Dairy Ltd. sold to Becker’s Milk Company and the dairy stopped processing milk — marking the end of 38 years of service.

Since Becker’s Milk Company did not deliver door-to-door, J.R. Lewis and other Lewis Dairy drivers continued to do home delivery for a few more years, selling Lakeside Jersey Dairy Milk from Leamington, which was also a smalltown independent next door trying to survive.

Over the years, the Lewis family was always community-minded, often sponsoring sports teams and giving generously to the community of Kingsville.

About the bottles: E. Lewis & Sons square-shoulder and round quart bottles are

very collectable with the square shoulder quart being extremely rare. Round quarts sported a unique

Flow test in Wheatley goes smoothly

Tuesday, Oct. 4 into Thursday early morning, Oct. 5, contractors and a team from the University of Windsor were on site of the August 26, 2021 explosion in Wheatley, conducting a production flow test of the monitoring well in the municipal parking lot.

They were around in the 1930s and early ’40s. Before Lewis Dairy bought Campbells Dairy in 1939, raw milk was sent to Robinson’s to be pasteurized.

They were a very small dairy that operated exclusively in Gosfield South, as the town of Kingsville would not allow them to operate there.

Milk was delivered seven days a week by delivery truck.

Over the years, the dairy operation was eventually set up on the Lewis farm where the dairy herd expanded to over 70 cattle (35 milking). With the growing herd came lots of work, which meant early mornings and late evenings as the entire Lewis family pitched in to help — including all the kids!

As demand for their delicious milk grew, milk was purchased from other farms in the area. By the 1950s and early ’60s, Lewis Dairy had become one of the premier dairies in the county, providing a variety of quality dairy products.

In 1964, the Ontario Milk Marketing Board was established and as a result, many additional costs were “slapped” on the dairy, including additional transportation,

Information from the sampling will be used to determine next steps for monitoring.

Looking back ...

Prominent landmark still exists

By C. Scott Holland Parliament appropriated $1,000 for the construction of a lighthouse at Leamington in 1879, and the following year, Peter Williams constructed a square, pyramidal tower at a contract price of $794.

The Leamington Lighthouse displayed a fixed white (catoptric) light at an elevation of 48 feet above the high-water mark.

Joshua Lamarsh was hired to serve as its first keeper at an annual salary of $150. After three years, Keeper Lamarsh resigned and was replaced by Forest H.C. Conover, who owned the land on which the lighthouse was built. The nearby streets of “Forest” and “Conover” are named in his honor.

The light at Leamington was improved at the opening of navigation in 1915 by substituting a fourth-order lens for the catoptric illuminating apparatus formerly used in the lantern room. In 1919, Keeper Conover was provided a hand-operated foghorn that was to be used to answer signals from steamers in the vicinity of the wharf during thick, inclement weather.

In late June 1923, a flashing, white electric light was established atop a pole on the outer end of the government pier, and Leamington’s Lighthouse and the hand-operated foghorn were discontinued. With his services no longer needed, Keeper Conover retired from lighthouse keeping at the age of 67.

The abandoned lighthouse and sur-

rounding land were sold to Elmer Wallace Luford of Walkerville, Ontario, in 1928, and shortly after this the property began to be used as a campground, where vacationers and locals could spend some time by the lakeshore. Later, semi-permanent cabins were built, replacing some of the tents that were commonly used at first.

In 1947, the lighthouse property became known as The Lighthouse Club, and by this time there were roughly 64 cabins located on the hill near the lighthouse and down along the beach. The lighthouse was moved from its original location due to shoreline erosion, but thanks to photos from around 1900, one can see just how precariously close to the edge it was.

In the early morning hours of June 6, 2010, an F1 tornado touched down in Leamington and caused widespread destruction. Some cabins in the area were damaged beyond repair, but the historic lighthouse escaped without significant damage. The lighthouse has been transformed into restrooms for the community, and a Lighthouse Clubhouse has been erected adjacent to it.

Anyone interested in or wanting to learn more about Leamington’s heritage and history can join the Leamington & Mersea Historical Society, which meets the fourth Saturday of most months at the Leamington Half Century Club or contact us at leamingtonmerseahs@ gmail.com

Flyers feast on London, win 8-3

By C. Scott Holland Last Thursday night, Oct. 6, a large crowd of 767 watched two of the west conference’s best teams battle one another. The rivalry between London and Leamington has intensified over the last decade with several playoff meetings and battles for first place.

But with the Nationals having two of their better players sidelined (Jacob Julien and Bradyn Santavy), their offense was not at full strength. After 40 minutes of action, Leamington led 6-0 and won the game 8-3.

Boe Piroski started for Leamington and made 27 saves, while Aiden Berry suffered the loss by playing 40 minutes and stopping 22 shots. Michael Emslie replaced him in the third and stopped eight of 10.

The Flyers used superb puck movement and took advantage of golden scoring opportunities to take a 2-0 first period lead and extend it to 6-0 before their defense lapsed a bit in the third. Yet the Nats’ two quick goals early in the final frame did not deter the Flyers from regaining their composure.

The fireworks kicked off when Hayden Reid’s left side screen shot zipped past Aiden Berry at 15:32.

About 90 seconds later, Griffin Grundner and Gabe Piccolo set up Trevor LaRue’s tally.

In the middle frame, the Flyers’ offense pounded four unanswered goals past Berry to make it a 6-0 contest. Gavin Grundner and Cody Brekke laid the groundwork for Ryan MacPherson’s slick tip, which came as he stood to Berry’s left.

At 16:39, defenseman Anthony Ciaramitaro took a Piccolo pass and his right point shot flew through a maze of bodies and into the Nats’ net.

Less than a minute later, James Sigmon and Ryan MacPherson created a slick pass play that ended with Gavin Grundner shoveling into the cage for a 5-lead.

Reid and Brekke connected to Billy Van Sumeren, who wheeled a bullet drive to make it a comfortable 6-0 lead.

London got on the board early in the third when a Flyers defenseman’s effort to clear the zone was intercepted by Lucas Chard, who set up Sam O’Reilly’s goal. A Flyers’ interference penalty led to the Nats’ Chard scoring to tighten the score.

A series of penalties to both sides followed. After settling down, the Flyers went back to work at 11:58 when Hayden Reid lifted Cody Brekke’s rebound past Emslie from close range. But the Nats added their last on a rebound.

At 18:34, the Flyers completed the scoring. Gavin Grundner slid the puck to Kale Couvillon, who was parked near the top of the slot. Couvillon found the target for a powerplay tally and an 8-3 final.

Schedule: Thurs. Oct. 13 vs Strathroy at 7:10 pm; Fri. Oct. 14 at St. Thomas at 7:30 pm.

Sharks split with Admirals and Kings

The Wheatley Omstead Sharks split a pair of games with a solid home ice win over Amherstburg while failing in OT in Dresden last week.

The home team ramped up the offence, shelling the Admirals’ goalie with over 50 shots en route to a 5-3 victory. Ethan Handley was superb in net with 34 saves in a wide-open tilt.

Braeden Caetano scored two, while Sylvain Lessard, Kyle Kelly

and recently added Kyle Greene added singles in the win. A total of 11 players hit the scoresheet in a balanced attack.

Friday, October 7 in Dresden, the boys played catch-up all night and rallied from a 4-2 third period deficit to force overtime. The offence continued to put up good numbers with 40 shots but a couple of team defensive lapses allowed the Kings to steal a victory. Cristian Green was denied a victory in his second

consecutive overtime loss.

Shannon Olsen and Jack Thiessen notched singles, with Kyle Greene potting two in his second game with the Sharks.

“We’re still striving for consistency but we do continue to improve each game,” said coach Josh Carnevale. “Kyle Greene has been a great addition with three goals in his first two games.”

Dear Leamington, Wheatley and Tilbury patients, for the time being I am now only available at my Kingsville Eyecare Clinic to assist you with your eyecare and eyewear needs. We welcome you to call 519-325-0123 or 519-733-3560 to schedule an appointment or if you have questions.

They named me Mushu MUSHU and life was great... until the children started arriving. As affectionate as I am with adults I am not fond of little humans at all. The adults never saw my dragon-side but their offspring sure did. So I’ll do best in a home without them.

And although the adults here have all been very kind, I’m finding it very scary here so my photos don’t show me in my best light. Maybe you can get me outta here so I can show you just how loving and playful I can be? Right now, adoption fees are waived for adult cats like Mushu. To see her and other adoptable felines, visit Cats & Kittens — The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society (windsorhumane.org). Look for the qualifying adult cats, who have their fees waived, by spotting the boarder like Mushu’s around their picture. If you do not see Mushu’s picture, she has been adopted. Please consider one of her friends who are still looking for their loving, forever homes.

Men’s senior hockey results

By C. Scott Holland In the third week of Leamington Senior Men’s hockey action, there were a couple of higher scoring games as Gabriele Home & Floor took Reid Funeral Home 8-2 and Gillett Roofing downed Gualtieri Farms 10-2. Play resumes on Oct. 17.

GABRIELE 8 REID 2 It was a close game for

one frame then Gabriele’s jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

That was all they would need to get past Reid.

For Reid, Tyler Dominato and Dylan Montague triggered the goals.

Gabriele was paced by Scott Florence’s hattrick.

Brian Whaley drilled two, while Jordan Carnevale, Eric Taylor and Riley Babkirk slotted one apiece.

GILLETT 10 GUALTIERI 2 The short-benched Gualtieri Farms squad was

missing too many bodies to have an effective defense.

GF got goals from Pat Sonoski and Marshall Fritsch.

Gillett’s offense came alive as Nick Rivait gunned a hattrick while Kyle Bowman and Alan Beausoleil planted two each. Zach Halwachs, Cam Dawson and Chad Jeffrey added one goal each to the cause.
