LDMH emergency department ranks #1 in ESC LHIN for ER wait times LDMH has established itself as the top performer in

ER wait times within the ESC LHIN and 19th in Ontario calculated using data from January-December 2013 that compares 74 Ontario hospitals with high volume Emergency Departments (EDs).

“These most recent results represent the dedication of the entire team to deliver compassionate care – close to home,” says Terry Shields, CEO of LDMH. The ranking measures hospital EDs on five performance indicators for Length of Stay in the Emergency Room (ER) which includes: patients requiring admission into the hospital; patients with minor conditions, who don’t require admission; patients with complex conditions, who don’t require admission; Time to Physician Initial Assessment (how soon a patient sees a physician from the time they register in ED); Time to Inpatient Bed (the length of time patients remain in the Emergency Department once it’s been determined they require admission into hospital).

Dr. Eljaoudi, Chief of Emergency Medicine, points out that “the achievement of these rankings result from a total team effort from everyone in the hospital. This includes interdepartmental continuous improvement of patient flow.”

The Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH) Emergency Department (ED) is part of a regional network in Windsor-Essex County. The LDMH Emergency Program provides a range of services to meet the unscheduled and emergency health care needs for all ages in the South Essex communities.

The LDMH ED provides emergency care for patients who are seriously ill or injured, or who are suffering from a life-threatening condition and who are unable to wait to be seen by their family physician.

LDMH ED sees approximately 600 patients per week with a variety of illnesses, injuries and complaints.

LDMH ED is staffed 24 hours/day 365 days/year with an arrangement of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nursing staff. This group of health care professionals is specially trained in delivery of emergency room care.

Police deploy spike belt to stop stunt driver A 21-year-old Essex man is facing numerous charges after failing to stop for police Friday night in Leamington.

At approximately 9:23 p.m., Leamington OPP attempted to stop a 1998 White Subaru on County Road 34 (Talbot Road east of Leamington) for a Highway Traffic Act violation. The vehicle took off at a high rate of speed; however, police did not pursue at this time. A short time later the vehicle was spotted eastbound on Seacliffe Drive in Leamington. A spike belt was deployed and the vehicle was stopped near Seacliffe Drive and Sherk Street.

The driver of the vehicle is facing several charges including two counts of stunt driving and two counts of failing to stop for police. The matter is still under investigation and more charges are pending.

The driver was released and will be appearing in court in Leamington on May 1.

Cougar Robotics competes in the first WindsorEssex Great Lakes Regional Robotics Competition On April 3-5, the Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School’s robotics team, Cougar Robotics, competed against 39 other teams from across Ontario, Quebec and the United States at the first Windsor-Essex Great Lakes Regional Robotics Competition. The event was held at the University of

Windsor.

Under the guidance of teacher Brad Chambers, 12 students from grade 9-12 with an interest in engineering and technology participated in the competition. In order to compete, the team had 6 weeks to design, build and program a robot that would be able to launch a large ball to other robots and through goal posts.

Although the rookie team did not advance into the final rounds, they performed well and found the competition to be a great experience.

Cougar Robotics would like to thank all of the sponsors for their generous donations of time, financial support and services. Thanks to their generosity, Cougar Robotics was able to participate in the competition.

Students are already preparing for next year’s event and are looking for additional sponsors. If you would like to be a sponsor please contact Cougar Robotics at cougarrobotics4932@gmail.com

EVERYONE – Out of the pool!

Apparently swimming is a cutthroat sport, even for kids. Thankfully, the kids probably don’t know about that aspect, as it’s the parents who are acting like reality television divas.

The Southpoint Sun is full of interesting stories, some controversial. We report on impaired drivers, frauds, break and enters and the happenings around Leamington Council. But nothing garners more criticism and ridiculous accusations as swimming.

Perhaps because swimming is an individual sport, the results are individual, even in a team setting. There are so many swimmers, at so many levels, and competitions almost every weekend. We cannot possibly follow each one, so like minor hockey, minor baseball, minor soccer, figure skating, and almost every other sport that kids are involved in, we rely on reports submitted to the paper. Keep in mind, we are a weekly, community newspaper – we’re not the National Post with five dedicated sports writers to check every swim meet result This mink was spotted beside the boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park across the province. We have one reporter on April 10.

The Southpoint Sun - 5

Oh, to be able to float your day away!

What special experiences of your life would you appreciate reliving and relearning if you were given back a portion of your life?

I had this feeling the other morning as I watched a young boy don his goggles and leap into the shallow end of the pool. He splashed and struggled to stay afloat, but wasn’t in any danger as he was obviously not adverse to getting his face wet and was keeping himself afloat. The swimming instructor in me thought, “He has so much potential!”

Memories flowed into my mind as I realized that learning to swim was by far one of the greatest gifts I was ever given. Ironically, it was in this same pool where I became very comfortable with the water 45 years ago.

I entered the pool to cool off, hoping to do a few laps and thus balancing all the extra food and drinks I’ve equally enjoyed. A group doing aquafit formed a bit of an obstacle course, but fortunately I found just enough of a straightaway for me to swim laps without bothering them. Little did I know that my unique audience was one little boy who apparently studied my every stroke. By the time I was finishing the last length he was moving his arms like a windmill.

I stopped and praised him for his improvement, as his grandmother beamed with pride. She explained that his determination to swim better than his older sister gave him his motivation. I thought, “If a little rivalry makes you strive harder, I say go for it!”

Brendan was a great listener; therefore, he learned the starfish, jelly fish float and the pencil, soon kicking very quickly as well. There is nothing like the look on someone’s face when they suddenly realize the water will actually hold them up. This occurs when they relax and just stop fighting it. Brendan glowed and so did his grandmother. I have no doubt that he dreamt of floating that night and will be down to the pool bright and early the next day.

Some of you may think that learning to swim should not be at the top of my list, as there are so many other valuable learning tools. But “to each his own”. I still remember the look on a couple of my classmate’s faces, as they sat on the sidelines, unable to join in at a pool party. Swimming gave me confidence and fed my natural feelings of competition in a healthy way. I loved racing and truly loved to teach others, of all ages, that they, too, could enjoy the sensation of lying on their backs in the water and floating away all their cares.

Swimming always made me hungry, which brings me to another important lesson I learned years ago. I love food!

Perhaps growing up in a large family gave me the ongoing feeling “if I don’t get it, someone else will.” Fortunately,

Season of promise ends in collapse... again

(Continued from Page 4) He did a similar thing with goalie James Reimer this year in a game against the Red Wings. Reimer, rightfully so, got the hook.

He pouted on the bench and Carlyle made it his personal vendetta and Reimer never started again until Jonathan Bernier went down with an injury.

By then the damage had been done and the Leafs were perilously holding on to their playoff spot, which, at one time, seemed a lock.

They were only three points out of first place not that long ago, and finished 12th in the conference when the dust settled.

Captain Phaneuf showed the world he’s really not a leader, while the cast of characters that played with him were horribly motivated and ill-prepared for the rigors of a long season.

That, unfortunately, has to fall on the coach and general manager, both of whom could be looking for jobs by summer time.

Southpoint Sun Staff recipe

there was always enough, but I certainly learned to enjoy food. It’s special to appreciate food of all kinds. That is another “learned” gift.

Throughout the years, as we welcomed our children’s friends to our home we invited them to join us at SHANNON our table. Consequently, MATHESON we’ve witnessed many reactions to the seemingly unusual foods I prepared. Food preparation Lifestyles... is yet another valuable tool that I have learned.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Those youngsters, if they got to know me well, soon learned that at least trying something was a friendly request of mine. Most did so, and on more than one occasion their palates were pleasantly surprised.

Enjoying a variety of foods helps to make you more comfortable in someone else’s home, a new restaurant and better yet, other countries. You don’t have to break the bank to experience different tastes with a plethora of foreign recipes online; international cuisine and groceries are throughout our own community and a Nona or Grandma next door who would love to teach you her skills!

Conversation around a table with good food is the best, and I am certain many families can attest to the fact that many of their best memories took place with a full mouth.

It is a known fact that politicians discuss our futures over delicacies worldwide.

Reading, writing and arithmetic are right up with being able to carry a conversation using proper grammar as well.

They are all invaluable life lessons. However, I didn’t always appreciate my mother’s subtle corrections, but have to say they still resound in my head today.

My list could go on, but as you can see, I feel learning the basics of life well can only lead to greater things. Take time to think back and appreciate the skills you learned in the past. Hopefully, every day brings at least one new one too! Recalling those experiences make excellent table talk.

“It’s time to move off the couch and get back to the table – because we cannot live without the sound of each other.”

The Birder premiers in Essex County

By Bryan Jessop Birds of a feather create movies together.

A group of Canadians have joined forces — many from Essex County — to film the feature movie ‘The Birder’, a light-hearted comedy about hard luck, revenge set to a local backdrop.

The movie officially premiered with an April 3 red-carpet showing at Windsor’s Capitol Theatre, followed by appearances Imagine Cinemas’ Lakeshore location. The film will make its way to Imagine Cinemas’ Leamington branch starting Friday, April 18.

The Birder was directed by Windsor born-and-raised Theodore Bezaire, who also has a short films Pria and Tommy and his first feature-length film Things To Do in his repertoire as director. These productions have won a sizeable collection of awards, including Audience Choice Awards from TIFF Kids in Toronto and NBC Universal Comedy Short Cuts Festival in Los Angeles and Platinum Remi (best short comedy) award at Worldfest Houston for Pria and the A&E Filmmakers Award for best film at the NSI Canada Film Festival for Tommy. Things To Do was shown at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where it was greeted by sold out crowds and rave reviews.

Early on, The Birder has also been subject to positive feedback from both local sources as well as CBC national arts reporter Eli Glasner of The Buzz.

“If it’s successful, it proves that films with local stories can be done in this area,” said Bezaire, a graduate of Windsor’s Brennan High School, the University of Windsor’s communication studies and advanced television and film at Sheridan College. “The response has been really fantastic.

THE PLAN BY INVESTORS GROUP

GROW

PROTECT

It’s exciting to see the local community embracing the film.”

The creation of The Birder in its entirety has been more than seven years in the making, with actual filming taking place over a course of 18 days in August and September of 2012.

“It’s really been a long road to get here,” Bezaire said.

“Things can move quite slowly in filmmaking.”

The Birder was filmed at the Ojibway Nature Centre in Windsor as well as St. Anne Catholic High School, which also served as the project’s production hub. The movie is based largely at the fictional Pelee Region Provincial Park, a localized reference to the real-life birding mecca Point Pelee National Park.

Bezaire wrote or co-wrote all the aforementioned films he directed with the exception of Pria. Writing duties have been shared with fellow Windsorite Mike Stasko. The Birder has a Leamington connection in co-executive producer John Cervini, who operates the family-owned business Lakeside Produce on Highway 77. “We couldn’t have made the film without people like him,” said Bezaire. “He was very helpful and he’s very supportive of the arts.”

The Birder’s executive producer is Roy Collavino while Gerry Lattman served as producer.

The film’s cast includes Tom Cavanagh as the main role of Ron Spencer. Supporting cast members include Mark Rendall (Victoria Day), Fred Willard (Austin Powers, This is Spinal Tap), Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves, The Green Mile), Tommie-Amber Pirie (The Trotsky), Allana Harkin, Cassidy Renee and Jamie Spilchuk.

Screenings of The Birder will be played at Imagine Cinemas Leamington starting Friday, April 18. Follow-up screenings in Leamington will be April 21, 22 and 23.

MCC canner returns to Leamington

By Bryan Jessop For the 16th year in a row, Meat Canner Leamington has replied to the question “are you able to assist the world’s hungriest people?” with “yes, we ‘can’.”

The Mennonite Central Committee, with an Ontario head office in Kitchener, has once again brought its meatcanning machine to the H.J. Heinz Tomato Grading Station on Sherk Street. For 2014, the annual stop is taking place from Monday, April 14 to Thursday, April 17, where an estimated 650 volunteers are chipping in to cook, prepare, can and label 30,000 pounds of chicken for impoverished people in locations throughout the world.

For the Leamington stop, volunteers make the trip from Windsor to Dresden and all points between, representing a wide variety of schools, organizations and church groups of virtually every religious denomination in the Essex-Kent area.

The amount of chicken and number of volunteers are similar to support generated in recent years, in turn leading to another $70,000 in expenses that organizers have set out to cover.

So far, about $46,000 has been raised for this year’s program.

“We have a ways to go yet,” said Meat Canner Leamington co-chair Marlene Schmidtgall, who leads the local canning effort along with Jake Neufeld.

To make a donation to Meat Canner Leamington’s 2014 campaign, visit the Mennonite Savings Credit Union at 243 Erie St. South Leamington (519-3268601) and simply state that you would like to make a contribution to their Meat Canner Leamington account. Any funds raised this year beyond the $70,000 needed will go toward next year’s project.

This year’s supply of chicken comes from the federally-registered Tender Choice of Stoney Creek, Ont. The preparation process, supervised by licensed supervisors to ensure health standards are met, will provide just under 17,000 cans of chicken to be labeled, boxed and shipped to a storage facility in Winnipeg until a recipient nation is selected. Last year’s Leamington total was sent to the southern African country of Lesotho. About 40 per cent of the country’s 2 million people live below the

international poverty line of $1.25 (U.S.) per day.

From Monday to Wednesday of this week, volunteers are working shifts that range from start times of 6:30 a.m. to end times of 10:30 p.m.

— Thursday will likely consist of a half-day schedule.

While some are busy canning, cleaning, cooking, stirring, labeling and packaging, others prepare meals and snacks while Schmidtgall (519-326-7709), Neufeld (519-825-7173) and Gene Forshaw (519326-6058) recruit individuals and groups interested in volunteering.

This year’s mobile canner — which first began operating in the U.S. in 1946, since 1997 in Canada and 1999 in Leamington specifically — has a sum of 36 stops. Prior to its arrival in Leamington, the canner spent April 7-10 in Sterling, Ohio. The final stop will be in Elmira, Ont.

Volunteers wash and label cans in preparation for the delivery of 30,000 pounds of chicken during the annual Meat Canners Leamington project at the Heinz Grading Station Monday, April 14.

from April 21 to 25.

“A lot of people come back year after year,” said Schmidtgall. “It’s wonderful — the volunteers are

Set up and preparation for the canner’s stop in Leam-

ington takes place the previous Saturday morning. By about 2 p.m., the system is ready for the process, start to finish.

Meat Canner Leamington is not yet certain if the June,

2014 closure of Leamington’s H.J. Heinz facility will impact its ability to use the grading station as its annual headquarters for 2015 and beyond.

Waste site application Leamington to participate in Seacliff Energy operates an Anaerobic Digester System to create energy from waste. They have applied to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) to expand their operation, and the Municipality has been notified by the Ministry as part of its review process.

In the administrative BILL report to Council Apr. CHAPLIN 11, Manager of Planning Services Danielle Truax explains, “The Municipal notice requests that the Municipality provide Correspondent comments with respect to the application and confirm whether the property is appropriately zoned for the proposed use as a waste disposal site. The notice also indicates that the Director of the Environmental Approvals Branch has the authority to hold a public hearing regarding the application. Municipalities or the public may request that the Director consider scheduling a hearing with reason.”

The application seeks to widen the variety of wastes that are part of its feedstock, and to increase on-site waste storage from its approved 10 tonnes to 40 tonnes. Since the application raises a number of questions (and concerns) for the municipal planner, Council received the recommendation to make comments and request a public meeting. The original permission for this operation was granted as an accessory use for the primary use of the farm which was a greenhouse operation. It is significant that the operation has expanded over the years to a small-scale industrial operation that appears no longer to be an accessory use, so the zoning may need changing.

Asked by Councillor Hilda MacDonald how the change from 10t to 40t can be characterized as “a small change”, one of the owners explained that they are not running anywhere near capacity and the ability to store more on-site will, in fact, decrease truck traffic (by using larger trucks) and reducing the frequency of unloading.

Disposition of this application rests with the MOE, and Leamington’s Council has approved only the comments and request for a public meeting. It is not a decision to hold a public meeting, since that must be the decision of the Ministry.

For Councillor Rick Atkin, having a public meeting is a key issue and he said he would be “very, very concerned if the Province did not hold a public meeting.”

Municipal Council passed the recommendation eagerly.

Communities in Bloom

By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent On Monday evening, Apr. 14, Leamington Municipal Council voted to participate in the Communities in Bloom competition. The municipality last participated in 1998, even though it only costs $750 to register in the program.

The Communities in Bloom judges evaluate the effort of people in the community in a number of ways: tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, and floral displays.

Council was told by Ken Clark, this year’s president of the Leamington Horticultural Society, that organization will be provided by volunteers from the Horticultural Society and will then expand with volunteers from other areas of the community.

The idea was also endorsed by Beth Smith, a representative of the Leamington Kiwanis Club, Bill Sherk, founder of the Replant our Streets Program, and Greg Rice who spoke of its potential to increase positivity amongst Leamington ratepayers.

The comment by Councillor Chris Chopchik was, “It is a marvelous program, but it is a ton of work. [The Chamber of Commerce, back in the 1990s] had to hire an extra staff person just to manage the work.” Councillor Rick Atkin asked for and received assurance that one member of Council would act as a liaison, but it would not be a committee of Council. He also wanted the financial commitment of the municipality clarified. He was told that additional funds would be used to purchase plaques to acknowledge local winners and it would be limited to about $500.

TVO in Leamington; Chestnut Park to get “makeover”

TVO airs a show on TVO Kids called “Giver” that engages children and community volunteers to rebuild playgrounds. The production company supplies experts and money to make a documentary of the three days it takes to complete the reconstruction. A local champion, Karen Driedger, submitted an application to the show and, at the end of March, found out that Chestnut Park had been selected as one of the show’s ten project locations out of over 200 proposals.

On Monday evening, Apr. 11, Leamington Municipal Council heard of the idea and agreed with the administrative recommendation to participate by contributing $5,000 toward the reconstruction as well as volunteering public works staff and time to assist with site preparation, health and safety monitoring, and assistance (as needed) in the actual reconstruction.

Council learned that Mrs. Driedger and administration have been canvassing local businesses for their support as well. It is anticipated that the reconstruction will occur in mid-August.

Councillor Hilda MacDonald commented that this feelgood project is a wonderful thing to happen in Leamington.

The matter was passed unanimously.

Re-zoning public meeting Pursuant to conditional approval of a consent application to attach a vacant hobby farm to a working farm to develop a new greenhouse range, a public meeting has been scheduled by Leamington Municipal Council. The property on Talbot Road East also requires setback relief in order to accommodate the development. A driveway that will be built will be shared with an existing greenhouse to the west, so the side yard setback needs to be reduced.

The only consideration that is of general public interest is a part of the land next to a watercourse that is identified for passive recreational use as a natural area. The municipal planner indicated that the municipality will attempt to acquire an easement over that land for possible future public use.

Councillor Hilda MacDonald was concerned that the open space might cause problems for the owner, but was assured that it would not, and during the site plan process various alternatives would be available and studied.

The meeting was scheduled with a unanimous vote.

Letter to the editor Fond memories of Leamington’s Centennial

In the March 19th issue of the Southpoint Sun the article by Scott Holland on Leamington’s 1974 Centennial celebrations brought back many fond memories of the participation of the Multicultural Community throughout the year.

As the chairman of the Multicultural Committee, it was very uplifting and satisfying to see all of the groups work so well together in presenting the culture and traditions of their homeland and sharing them with their Leamington neighbours.

The several concerts that the Multicultural Committee presented brought out the song, the dance and the national costume of each homeland.

Many of the groups participated in the Centennial Parade. If my memory

serves me well, the Lebanese Community walked off with the trophy for the “Best Float” in the parade.

It was a very busy year for everyone. The first major event of Leamington’s Centennial actually took place on January 6, 1974 at Leamington’s Roma Club.

Most Ukrainians celebrate Christmas Eve on January 6 which is based on the old Julian Calendar. So it was on that night over 500 people gathered to feast on 12 traditional Lenten dishes including pickled herring, borsch (beet soup), varenyky (both potato and sauerkraut, known to many as perogies), kutya made from ground nut meats and honey, and other non-meat dishes.

When the ladies were preparing the 10 kegs of herring for the meal, one

asked, “Who is going to eat all of this herring?” At the meal the guests were asking for more.

During the planning stages another lady said that we should cook some turkeys as some people might not know what a ‘Lenten’ meal was. As chair of the Ukrainian Centennial Committee I replied, “If our guests do not know what a Lenten meal is, they will know by the time that we are finished.”

It was a very successful evening with the proceeds used to furnish a room on the 2nd Floor of the East Wing of Leamington District Memorial Hospital.

It gives me a great deal of satisfaction that I had the opportunity to work with Mayor Ralph Nicol, Centennial Chairman Jim Reid

and the Multicultural Community during the year-long celebrations.

Senior Games to host Lunch & Learn

The traditional lily

By popular demand, another Windsor-Essex County Senior Games Lunch and Learn event will be held at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens in Ruthven on Thursday, May 1 at 12noon.

A delicious luncheon buffet will be followed by a lecture given by Joe Colasanti, owner and operator of Colasanti’s Tropical Garden, who will once again share information about his best “easy care” indoor plants.

The second expert to speak will be Jay Terryberry, St. Clair College Horticulture Technician, who will answer the questions “Is it spring yet?” and “What should the gardener do at this time and what can they do over the next few years based on the weather we receive?”

Ticket deadline is April 24. For information contact Paulette Kupnicki (519-974-3709 or 519-995-3709, pkupnicki02@cogeco.ca), Blaise Gillis (519-735-4879, bgillis3@cogeco. ca) or visit www.seniorgames-windsoressex.com

As Easter approaches, lilies become more common in our homes as potted plants or in fresh cut flower bouquets.

Easter cactus, daisies and violets are great alternatives to help decorate your home.

In the

By Ash Wednesday your lily should have developed back yard... buds approximately 3 inches in length. If they are smaller, place the plant in a warmer room and use a mild fertilizer to promote growth.

As the flower matures, remove the yellow anthers with a Kleenex. This will also prolong the life of the flower.

Easter lilies prefer moderately moist and well drained soil.

If the plant has decorative foil wrapping, poke holes in the bottom of the pot to allow drainage.

After the plant has completed blooming, cut away the flower and place in a sunny window.

Once the frost has passed, you can plant your lily outside in a well drained area in new soil.

As the foliage dies back, cut the stem off at the ground level and the bulb will start growing again, possibly blooming in the late summer, but most likely you will have to wait until next June or July.

Perennial lilies planted in the garden also give a mixture of bright colours by planting in groups among other perennials for added color in mid summer. Some summer favourites include the fragrant oriental lily which is also very easy to grow and thrives in well drained soil and in full sun or partial shade.

If shade is your only option, purple beauty toad lilies are recommended. This lily is star-shaped and has a deep, plum-purple flower and blooms in late summer. This flower looks more like an orchid than the traditional lily but adds a unique texture to any garden.

The Casa Blanca lily is a longtime favorite among florists – especially for weddings – with long white petals and rose-pink stripes. Always remove the orange stamens as soon as the flower opens if you want to prevent staining on clothing or rugs.

As a cut flower, just one stem is enough to make a centerpiece or bouquet.

Each bulb will produce more and more flowers every year, producing more stems.

Plant lilies in large numbers and in random patterns. This will allow the bulbs to multiply and spread over time. This will also allow the planting to look natural, as if they were native to the area. www.bptreemarketing.com

VOYC up to the ‘Challenge’

By Bryan Jessop The second Mayors’ Community E-Waste Collection Challenge is 50 per cent complete.

For the second time since 2012, Kingsville and Leamington are going head to head in a competition to determine which of the neighbouring municipalities can collect the most electronic waste, including computers, CD/DVD players, televisions, desktop printers and copiers, cell phones, answering machines, typewriters, projectors and video recorders. Voices of Youth in Community — an ACCESS program — has teamed up with Computers For Kids, a project originated to refurbish used computers as affordable options for youths to use in school.

“It’s also a great way to keep these computers out of landfills,” said VOYC coordinator Wanda Rodrigues. “There’s been a lot of good support and feedback to the program, which is fantastic.”

This year’s Leamington portion of the Challenge was held at the south end of the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex parking lot, where more than a dozen VOYC members, volunteers and mentors gathered to accept e-waste donations from residents dropping off unused and unwanted electronic items. The collection was taken Saturday, April 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., piled up in bins dropped off by Computers For Kids that were later hauled away on trailers.

The discarded items collected are sold at a specific monetary rate per pound with proceeds split 50/50 between VOYC and Computers For Kids. Last year, Leamington and Kingsville combined raised $1,300 to be split between the two groups.

“We’re more than happy to help support another nonprofit group and help out our communities at the same time,” said Rodrigues. “It’s a good way to show people that these kids are here to make a positive difference.”

In 2012, Leamington collected 13,306 pounds of e-waste, less than 500 pounds shy of Kingsville’s 13,770 pounds.

Hire a student: employer incentives offered Hire a summer student and get a $2 per hour incentive, says Mike Ferguson, president of the Chatham-Kent-Essex provincial Liberal association.

This year, students can visit ontario.ca/readysetwork to access an easyto-use assessment tool that can help them: find a job through Employment Ontario partners; strengthen their résumé writing skills; or apply for funding to start their own summer companies.

Summer jobs provide students with an important introduction to the workplace, while helping them develop their talents and abilities.

The province is investing more than $78 million in 2014 to connect young workers to jobs or launch their own summer businesses. Over 970,000 students have found summer jobs and accessed job services since 2004.

Voices of Youth in Community coordinator Wanda Rodrigues (second from right) and VOYC youth volunteers and mentors display some of the donated electronic devices for the second Mayors E-Waste Challenge. The items were dropped off at the south end of the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex parking lot on Saturday, April 12. The same program will take place Saturday, April 26 in Kingsville. In 2012, Kingsville won the head-to-head challenge against Leamington by a margin of 464 pounds.

This year’s Leamington total was not made available by press deadline.

This year, Kingsville’s collection of e-waste will take place at the ACCESS office at 23 Mill St. West, Kingsville Saturday, April 26, also from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the same time, ACCESS will also conduct a block party of sorts in an effort to spread the community’s awareness of its programs, services and projects. These will include Bike Safety, Bikesmart, Community Garden and several others.

Three-time Olympic women’s hockey gold medalist Meghan Agosta was given a celebrity’s welcome for a return visit to her former high school, Cardinal Carter.

A rally in the school’s gymnasium greeted the Ruthven born-and-raised Olympian in the form of a talk show featuring numerous other “celebrities,” including students portraying the likes of Ellen Degeneres, Danica Patrick, Zayn of One Direction, Lady Gaga, Zach Galifianakis and several others. During the tribute, the school made a presentation of $800 for the Meghan Agosta Foundation, an organization Agosta created to help underprivileged youths from across Canada play ice hockey.

The original contribution was $500, collected during Olympic Spirit Day where the school’s students and staff gathered in the gymnasium to watch Agosta and her team storm back for a 3-2 overtime gold medal victory against the United States. Following the event, however, staff members pooled their resources to contribute another $300 for the foundation.

During the visit, again with nearly the entire student population gathered in the gym, Agosta described her experiences in Sochi, Russia while witnessing and taking part in a few unique activities organized in her honour.

“We went through so much adversity, with players getting cut, our coach resigning a month-and-a-half before the Olympic games — they pushed us out of our comfort zone,” Agosta explained. “With five 11 minutes left, I looked up at April 2014 the clock and wondered ‘how the heck are we going to do Cindyto Canada trailing the U.S. 2-0 in the this’?” — a reference This proofminutes is for typographical errorsmedal and omissions.

Team Canada gold medalist Meghan Agosta accepts a rose from “Zayn” of One Direction as “Ellen” looks on during a rally at the Cardinal Carter gymnasium Friday, April 12.

Agosta returns to her roots (Continued from page 16) how we pulled that off,” she continued. “I’m pretty proud of myself and my teammates.”

The series of events during the rally included a cake-cutting ceremony, a putting contest between Agosta and Cardinal Carter’s OFSSA golfer Devan Schulert, a few brief dance lessons offered by the stand-in line-up of celebrities and the official unveiling, signing and retirement of Agosta’s #2 Cardinal Carter hockey jersey. The number will no longer be used by either boys or girls Cougar hockey teams.

During the event, Agosta discussed topics such as pastimes, superstitions, experiences as an aspiring player growing up in Ruthven and her intention to again represent the Canadian women’s hockey team for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.

“South Korea is definitely on my mind,” Agosta said. “I still have a lot more to give and to represent Canada is such an honour. I guess time will tell and we’ll see what happens.”

2002 Chrysler Prowler an instant classic!

In a daring move by the Chrysler Corporation in 1997, the Plymouth Prowler hit the pavement, looking for all the world like a reinvented ’32 Ford hot rod roadster, from where it drew its inspiration. With motorcyclestyle front fenders which turn with the wheels and a 1940 Mercury-inspired grille, the Prowler was an instant classic with its retro look and lively performance.

Available at first only in purple, other colours were later added. The Plymouth version of the Prowler was discontinued in 2000, after which it became known as the Chrysler Prowler, which was discontinued after 2002, making it an instant and highly collectible classic.

Ron Derkson of Leamington has the only Prowler in town. “My first car at age 20 was a chocolate brown 1961 Pontiac Parisienne convertible with a white top. And now, 50 years later, it looks like my second and last convertible is the 2002 Chrysler Prowler. I purchased it recently from a retired NASA Engineer from Huntsville, Alabama. In mint shape with only 11,600 miles, he only had the top down once! Now with its new owner, the top will come down even in winter if conditions allow, as we did this Christmas with family from Ron Derkson of Leamington with his newly purchased 2002 Chrysler Prowler photographed the U.S. and Canada.

“It really is a fun car, particularly with the top down. It features a 253 hp 3.5 litre V6 in Huntsville, Alabama. engine with 9:9 compression ratio, overhead cam with four valves per cylinder, light aluminum frame, fibreglass body, and sits on 20-inch rear wheels and 17-inch front wheels. The front fenders sit above the wheels and turn with the wheels, which gives it a ‘Prowler’ look – and thus the name. All the instruments on the dash have a neat trademark oval design, which is painted the same colour as the exterior, in this case a dazzling yellow!”

Who would have thought when the first young hot rodder long ago replaced the front fenders of his ’32 Ford roadster with motorcycle fenders that one of the Big Three would bring out a similar car over 60 years later!

CALL US FIRST! The other two of the Big Three have also brought out retro-cars. Ford revived the two-seater Thunderbird for a few brief Got a Wet Basement or Problem Crawl Space? years recently and GM brought out the SSR roadster pickup. And let’s not overlook the PT Cruiser from Chrysler. But none We Have the Solutions! of these vehicles match the excitement stirred up by the Prowler. You owe it to yourself to drive one – or at least go for a ride in one. I’ll be asking Ron to take me for a spin around town as soon as the weather warms up…

OPP packing groceries for annual Cop Camp On Thursday, April 17, Essex County OPP officers, civilian employees and volunteers will be packing groceries to help support the 20th Annual Essex County OPP Cop Camp.

In Leamington, OPP officers and civilians will be packing groceries at the Real Canadian Superstore from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Zehrs in Tecumseh and Kingsville, Foodland in Essex, and Valu-Mart in Belle River are the other locations.

The Essex County OPP Cop Camp exists solely by the generous contributions and donations from the public. Help support the annual OPP Cop Camp by donating whatever you can when you check out at the grocery store on Thursday. While you are there, enter your name into a draw for a chance to win a gift basket.

Cop Camp is an annual event, in its 20th year, involving 90 students from elementary schools across Essex County (Essex, Kingsville, Lakeshore, Leamington, Harrow and Tecumseh) who attend and benefit from a week of directed and supervised activities. Students are taught the importance of teamwork along with other positive life skills. They will be given guidance by police officers, civilians, auxiliary members and other caring, trained volunteers. These youths are recent graduates of the VIP program (Values, Influences and Peers) and are selected by their individual schools to attend the Camp at no cost to themselves.

Recycling reconsideration At the April 14 Council meeting, Leamington Council decided to support the letter from the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority to establish mandatory recycling in all municipal buildings (which is already done) and at all events held under the auspices of the municipality.

This matter was raised for reconsideration at the last Council meeting and it was generally acknowledged that Council previously had acted too quickly in merely receiving and filing the correspondence.

The matter was passed with no discussion and no dissent.

Oh boy, here we go. The Habs have nobody in the Top 40 in regular season points, but not putting all their chips on one player is nothing new for Montreal. Both teams are wellrounded offensively and the goalie battle between Price and Bishop is another coin toss. The Canadiens have a pretty respectable defensive core, but mediocre offense — as displayed in a 2-0 loss to the lowly Islanders in their next-tolast regular season contest. Stamkos is healthy again, so that’ll throw a fly or two in Montreal’s playoff ointment.

Going to make the mistake of going with my heart as the tiebreaker on this one. Montreal in seven.

New York Rangers vs Philadelphia: Unlike their local Junior ‘B’ namesakes, I’ve never liked the Philadelphia Flyers.

Then again, I’ve never liked the Rangers either, although their fans aren’t nearly as obnoxious. Philly’s a great team to watch if you like high-scoring games — good offense, not-so-good defense. Quite the contrary with the Rangers, so who knows what to expect from this one, aside from an inordinate percentage of Flyers fans acting like imbeciles.

I hate saying goaltending could make the difference, but with this one, well... goaltending could make the difference (Lundqvist has been solid). New York in six.

Western Conference Anaheim vs Dallas: It was great to see the Stars nab that last wildcard spot for two reasons — one, as a tribute to sidelined teammate Rich Peverly, and two, to make financial woes for the Phoenix Coyotes even worse (their “fans” screamed and cried to keep the team from relocating and then when they got their way, nobody showed up to their games). Anyway, Getzlaf and Perry against Seguin and Benn should be a good offensive matchup. The bottom line will be Anaheim’s stellar offense against Dallas’s suspect blue line. Anaheim in five.

Colorado vs Minnesota: Both teams have been playing well as of late, and there’s nothing like late regular-season momentum to get the playoffs started. Like Montreal, the Wild have to go way down the league’s scoring chart to find their top point getter — Jason Pominville, in 54th with 57 points. The Avs are one of those teams that could still be dangerous even with their top two scorers out of commission. Only two teams in the West have less productive offense than Minnesota — Vancouver and the hapless Oilers.

Oh, and the Wild just took a 7-3 drubbing at the hands of also-ran Nashville, which puts a bit of a crimp in the momentum thing. Colorado in four.

St. Louis vs Chicago: Seriously, does this series HAVE to take place? Yeah, the Blues have home-ice advantage, but they are one seriously horrible playoff team. Choking is a franchise tradition of sorts, regardless of how well they do in the regular season. This time around, the team seems to think the playoffs started already, so they’ve lost their last six in a row. They’re about to make it 10. I wonder if an avid NHL fan from Saskatoon, perhaps one with a working knowledge of the dark arts, became so embittered by false hopes of the Blues moving to his home province in the 1980s that he placed a curse on the team. The CBC could make a pretty good sitcom series of it.

Sharks home game nights changing

By Bryan Jessop in Wheatley three times for the 2014-15 campaign, at least The Monday blahs are now a thing of the past for Sharks fans.

Sharks general manager Kevin Fisher has had his sights night of the week for home games. The Belle River Canaset on Saturdays for home games for a few years, but with diens, Dresden Kings and Alvinston Flyers play the majority two other Great Lakes teams already scheduled to play at of their home ice contests on Fridays while the Amherstburg home those nights, chose not to pursue the idea. However, Admirals and Blenheim Blades host games on Sundays. The when the Kingsville Comets moved to Amherstburg and Essex 73’s host on Tuesdays while the Wallaceburg Lakers dropped Saturdays in favour of Sundays, Fisher elected to greet guest teams on Wednesdays. Mondays will join Thursdays as non-game nights in the league. follow through with the plan.

The Sharks’ ownership decided to forge ahead with the idea in December of last year. Although seeking permission from the league was not necessary, Fisher met with representatives of the Mooretown Flags — the Great Lakes loop’s other Saturday team — to work out a schedule for head-to-head games between the two squads.

“Mondays are a tough night to market and we need to drive up our attendance,” Fisher explained.

Through the 2013-14 regular season, the fourth-place Sharks drew a total of 4,758 spectators for an average of 237 per game, one more than the eighth-place Dresden Kings. The Sharks average crept up to an average of 311 per game for the playoffs.

Planning for the move to Saturdays has been done in conjunction with the Southpoint Minor Hockey Association, which Fisher explained is 100 per cent behind the move.

Sharks declare annual award winners

By Bryan Jessop The off-ice portion of the 2013-14 season has officially come to an end for the Wheatley Sharks.

The local Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ team held its annual awards banquet at the Talbot Trail Golf Course Saturday, April 5 as a means of thanking behind-the-scenes supporters and announcing this year’s recipients of the seven team awards. Following the dinner, award selections were declared as follows: • Most Improved Player — Thomas Virban; • 3D (Dedication, Drive and Desire) — Scott Florence; • Coach’s Creed — Jimmy Ciacelli; • Rookie of the Year — Cale Phibbs; • Defenseman of the Year — Mike Reid; • Playoff MVP — Conner MacKinnon; and • Most Valuable Player — Jon Woelk.

All awards are selected by the team’s coaching staff. The Coach’s Creed award is granted to the player who best exemplifies the head coach’s — Ken Galerno’s —work ethic.

The positives outweighed the negatives for the Sharks’ 2013-14 season, despite the fact that the team wound up icing a younger, more inexperienced roster than initially expected. The team finished the regular season in fourth with a 22-16-1-1 record and 46 points — seven points separated second from seventh while three points separated second from fifth.

“For the most part, it was a successful season,” said Sharks general manager Kevin Fisher. “The only downfall was that we didn’t perform to our expectations in the final stretch. We should have held on to second place, but we went two and eight for the last 10 games and settled for fourth.”

The Sharks eliminated fifth-place Alvinston four games to two in the league quarterfinals, but were swept 4-0 in the semis by the repeating championship Essex 73’s, who have

Pictured here from left to right, with their awards are, Cale Phibbs, Rookie of the Year; Jimmy Ciacelli, Coach’s Creed; Jon Woelk, MVP; Thomas Virban, Most Improved; Conner MacKinnon, Playoff MVP and Scott Florence, 3-D Award. Absent was Mike Reid, Defenceman of the Year.

recently advanced to the Schmalz Cup title series against Lakefield.

“We could have won that series as easily as we lost it,” said Fisher. “It was a four-game sweep, but all the games were decided by a single goal except one. It felt more like a seven-game series. I was impressed by how youth stepped up to play big roles for the team.”

For 2014-15, the Sharks expect to fill five holes in the team’s roster. Woelk and Brett Babkirk were the only two players lost to graduating-age status, but Fisher explained that Virban and Phibbs are likely candidates to move up to Junior ‘B’ — which may be reclassified as Junior ‘A’ pending OHA approval — next season. Eric Rivard, a Tilbury native, may relocate for school.

The two-day spring camp for the Sharks will take place in Leamington Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29.

The main camp, also to be held at Unico Arena, will kick

off Aug. 7 starting with two sessions per week. The annual Blue/White rookie game will take place either early or about mid-way through the camp. After a Labour Day weekend break, the team will return to the ice for pre-season camp at Wheatley Area Arena.

The 2014-15 season will include little in the way of changes for the Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ league, with the possible exception of either increased insurance costs or the elimination of half-visor masks in favour of full cages. The decision will likely be made during the OHA’s annual general meeting June 18-19.

The other change for the Sharks will be the introduction of a new assistant coach. The team will likely interview four candidates on its list this week.

GOJHL applies for status upgrade

By Bryan Jessop The Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League is hoping to bring its ‘A’ game to the 2014-15 season and beyond.

If an application sent to the Ontario Hockey Association is approved, the Leamington Flyers will carry the distinction of being the last team to win the Western Conference championship as a ‘B’ title. The league is requesting a move up to Junior ‘A’ status, which if approved, would place it in the same category as the primarily GTA-based Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Representatives of the GOJHL — created in 2007 via a merger of the Western Ontario Hockey League, Mid-Western Junior Hockey League and Golden Horseshoe Junior Hockey League — decided during a March 22 meeting in Woodstock to file for a move up to Junior ‘A’ status. The application was officially sent March 28.

The application was created and sent by a transition team made up of six GOJHL representatives — two from each conference. For the Western Conference, transition team members include Leamington Flyers co-owner and president Abe Fehr and St. Thomas Stars co-owner Joe Daniels.

The transition team and the rest of the league was hoping to have a response from the OHA board of directors by Friday, April 11, but instead had to wait for a later date — likely Wednesday, April 16, the day following the most recent OHA board meeting.

While moving up to the ‘A’ level would include perks such as permission to carry an unlimited number of ‘import’ players on their rosters, the 27 GOJHL teams voted

unanimously in favour of submitting the application with a different main incentive. With equal league status as the OJHL, GOJHL teams believe they would lose fewer players in search of a higher level of competition.

“We want to retain quality players who are being told they should play at a higher level,” said Fehr. “We feel that we can get to the talent level of the OJHL, if we’re not there already.”

Late in the 2013-14 regular season, the Flyers lost leading scorer Kyle Shaw to the Ottawa-area’s Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), which operates outside the OHA’s jurisdiction. Other GOJHL teams have experienced more frequent losses, mostly to OJHL squads who need only pay $1,500 per player up to three players during off-season transactions. Only when an OJHL team is taking more than three players from one team or when they claim players during the season can a lower-level ‘source’ team negotiate for further compensation.

The Midwestern Conference’s Cambridge Winterhawks haven’t been as fortunate as most Western Conference teams, having recently lost three players to the OJHL. The Winterhawks, who lost a 2012-13 interlock game 3-2 to the Flyers, considered a move to the OJHL for 2013-14, but the plan did not come to fruition.

The move up to the next level, Fehr noted, could also attract higher-calibre rookies, many of whom would no longer have such a lengthy journey from home to play Junior ‘A’ hockey. The ascension to Junior ‘A’ may also garner more attention toward GOJHL players from scouts.

If the application is approved, the GOJHL playoffs will remain unchanged and the 27 teams will continue to vie for the Sutherland Cup, only as an ‘A’ level championship instead of a ‘B’ title. The league will have to undergo a threeyear waiting period before it can decide on whether or not it’s championship team will compete for the national RBC Cup. The main obstacle in the way for approval is an existing OHA agreement that the OJHL shall operate as their only Junior ‘A’ league. As part of the association’s ‘Tomorrow’s Game’ strategy, the OJHL was whittled down from 37 teams in 2008-09 down to the current 22 — a plan implemented to reduce the ‘water down’ effect on the league’s talent pool.

Moving the GOJHL to the next upward level would increase the number of Junior ‘A’ teams under the OHA umbrella to

“It might be a bit of a struggle, but it could still be negotiated,” said Fehr in reference to the agreement between the OHA and OJHL. Fehr explained that the watered-down effect on the talent pool wouldn’t likely reappear, as the OJHL and GOJHL mostly represent different geographical regions. Fehr also noted that the GOJHL would be more than happy to continue operating as three conferences of nine teams each as opposed to being involved in a future merger with OJHL squads.

“The three conferences want to support themselves as best we can,” he said. “We’d like to keep the 27 teams we’ve got now.”

Fehr didn’t speculate as to what might happen in Buffalo, which currently has one team in the OJHL and another in the GOJHL — the only example of direct overlap between the two leagues.

Falcons lead Flyers 2-1 By bryan jessop

The Leamington Flyers came up just short in their first-ever Sutherland Cup playoff game.

The provincial semifinal series against the St. Catharines Falcons began with a 3-2 loss for the Flyers at Heinz Arena in front of about 1,100 spectators Thursday, April 10. The Falcons earned the semifinal berth as the wild card team after Leamington’s April 3 win against Chatham assured St. Catharines the best winning percentage among the three GOJHL conference finalists.

The Flyers charged from the gates with heavy offensive pressure against their guests, although Falcons goalie Knick Dawe performed well to keep the match scoreless for the first 11 minutes. Nathan Opblinger opened the scoring after a Mitch Amante shot was slowed down by Dawe with enough momentum to squeak through and slowly roll towards the goal line. Uncovered, Opblinger helped the disc along by quickly slamming it over the goal line. Daniel Robertson also drew an assist.

Leamington outshot the 2012 Sutherland Cup champs 21-9 over the first 20 minutes, including a clear, shorthanded breakaway shot for Chris Scott that was foiled

by Dawe.

The first intermission offered enough time for the Falcons’ defense to catch their breath, as the guests mostly interrupted the momentum built up through the first frame by Leamington. St. Catharines scoring leader and former Chatham Maroon Brennan Feasey tied the game with a slap shot from just inside the Flyers blueline one second after a Blaine Bechard minor penalty expired.

The guests took the lead four minutes later when Tyler Jackson took advantage of a rare Flyers defensive lapse to slide toward the Leamington net and flip the puck over a sprawling Trevor Wheaton.

St. Catharines finished the period with a 13-10 shots advantage.

Tommy Barszcz caught Wheaton out of position to send the game winner into the Flyers’ net 46 seconds into the third. Leamington’s power play came to life 5:12 into the final frame when Alex Seguin fired an ice-level slap shot from the point that raced untouched into the back of the Falcons’ net. Opblinger and Amante assisted.

The Flyers’ forwards pushed for an equalizer but couldn’t fool Dawe for a third time. Barszcz appeared to have the game put away with 1:07 remaining on a power play awarded for a delay of game infraction — all delay of game penalties committed in the final two minutes of regulation result in an automatic penalty shot.

As Barszcz approached the net, Wheaton charged and dove forward with a poke check attempt. The Falcons’ forward and the puck both managed to elude Wheaton, giving the shooter a wide-open net to bring the score to 4-2. Barszcz however mishandled the shot, which slid

slowly to the right of the Leamington net.

The Flyers outshot their guests 43-32 and went one for two on the power play while St. Catharines went zero for one.

“We’ve just got to capitalize,” explained Flyers coach Tony Piroski. “We had some really good scoring chances that we didn’t finish.”

Despite the loss and 1-0 deficit in the series, Piroski was not The Flyers’ Mitchell Amante is surrounded by St. Catharines players as he carries the puck into their zone during Game 1 of the (Sun photo) about to hit the panic Sutherland Cup semifinals Thursday, April 10 at Heinz Arena.

Velocity Volleyball hosts tournament

SODUKU ANSWERS

The Velocity 13U Rebels take on the Chatham Ballhawks during round robin pool play of the first annual Velocity Volleyball tournament, hosted by the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Saturday, April 12. The Rebels placed first in their pool, but lost in the first round of playoffs in the gold division to the LVC 13U team of London.

By Bryan Jessop A trio of Velocity Volleyball’s club teams had a significantly shorter trip to take part in their most recent tournament.

The first annual Velocity Volleyball Tournament was hosted by the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Saturday, April 12 and featured guest teams from Chatham, Sarnia, London and Cambridge. The three host teams included two 12U teams — one dubbed the Rage — and the 13U Rebels. All eight teams took part in a single age division spanning from 11U to 13U girls, co-ed and boys.

“We’ve been really excited to bring a club volleyball tournament to Leamington,” said Velocity Volleyball club administrator Mariel Konrad, who organized the event along with husband and Velocity Volleyball club director Jim Konard. “We’ve got a good turnout for our first year. There were other teams who wanted to be here, but couldn’t because of other commitments.”

The Konrads, backed by about 30 volunteers who helped make the tournament possible, hope to see future editions of the competition scheduled over two days, divided into various age groups.

Velocity Volleyball teams, made up of players from across Windsor, Leamington and the rest of Essex County, have played recent tournaments in Cambridge, London and other Southwestern Ontario communities as well as in Michigan.

The first annual local tourney split the eight teams into two pools of four with a pair of matches against each round robin opponent. The top two from each pool proceeded to the Gold Medal side of playoffs while the bottom two from each side met on the Silver Medal side. The Velocity Rage (12U) finished first in Pool A, followed by London LVC (13U), the Cambridge Scorpions (12U) and Velocity’s other 12U team. Pool B was led by the Velocity Rebels (13U), Sarnia Twin Bridges (12U), Chatham Ballhawks (13U) and Cambridge Scorpions (11U).

The Rebels and LVC teams split the first two playoff matches, forcing a 15-point tiebreaker, won 15-12 by LVC. The Rage took two straight against Twin Bridges in the other Gold Medal semifinal. LVC proceeded to capture gold by defeating the rage in the final.

The Rebels and Twin Bridges went head-to-head for bronze, won by the Sarnia team two matches to one.

The Chatham team stormed to the Silver title by defeating Velocity 12U and the 11U Scorpions. The 11U Scorpions earned a spot in the final with a 2-1 win over their 12U rivals. In the Silver side’s bronze medal game, Velocity defeated the 12U Scorpions 2-1.

“The kids love it,” said Mariel, who explained Velocity Volleyball also hopes to attract Michigan teams to future tournaments. “It’s great to bring this kind of excitement to the kids. The whole thing is a lot of work and effort, but it’s worth it.”

The Southpoint Sun - 31

Sun County 14U Black wins silver at provincial championships Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) held their 14U Provincial Championships April 4-6 at RIM Park in Waterloo. Three 14U teams from South County (SC) Volleyball Club began their quest for gold.

All 93 girls teams competing in the 14U Division were ranked within three divisions, and the three South County teams from Windsor and Essex County earned a Division 1 ranking.

SC Bandits Teal team, coached by Bernie Diesbourg, was ranked 5th in Ontario, while Tom McNorton’s SC White team was ranked 12th going in, with both teams in Div. 1 - Tier 1. These teams ended their successful seasons early on Sunday with White getting knocked out in the first round of play-offs and having a 2-5 win-loss record for the weekend.

Team Teal lost out in the quarter-final round with a 4-4 record for the weekend.

South County Black was ranked 24th and were placed in Division 1 - Tier 2. This team is composed of Grade 8 girls within Windsor and Essex County, and is coached by Cathy Debergh, a Kingsville resident.

South County Team Black began Provincial play on Friday and came out with a 1-2 record for the day.

Day 2 proved to be a great day as they won all 3 matches that they competed in. Teams were then re-pooled, and re-ranked before the beginning of the final day.

Play on day 3 saw SC Black matched up against Burlington Blaze and they won in two straight sets.

Quarter-final action was against Peterborough Thunder, and again South County Black came out on top with a 2-0 win.

Semi-final action was against Leaside from Toronto, who was originally ranked 13th overall from Tier 1. Scores for this exciting match were 25-23, 10-25 and 15-13. With South County taking the win, it put team Black into the championship game! Beating Leaside proved that the original rankings were inaccurate, and solidified to the team that they could be competitive with any opponent.

Network

The South County 14U Black team is coached by Cathy Debergh, along with her three assistant coaches Amanda Everaert, Jordy Tytgat and Christine Belcher. They won a silver medal in Division 1 - Tier 2 at the OVA Provincial Championships at RIM Park in Waterloo on April 6. Team members are, front left to right: Alyssa Tytgat, Hannah Nicholson, Maddie Pearce, Jenna Pellerito. Back row: Assistant coach Dr. Amanda Everaert, Ally Kozak, Kayleigh Debergh, Ana Lozo, Sara Galipeau, Emma Wood, Maddie Borland, coach Cathy Debergh.

The Division 1 - Tier 2 championship game started late Sunday afternoon. LVC Fire Intensity from London was originally ranked 32, last in Tier 2, was re-ranked to 18th versus South County Black re-ranked 25th. Final scores of the match — 17-25 and 22-25 — don’t reflect how intense the final match was.

South County 14U Black won the silver medal in Division 1 - Tier 2 OVA Provincial Championships. The team won 7 matches out of 10 at Provincials, ending their successful season with a 17-13 OVA winning record. The coaches and players would like to thank all the parents for their support over the season.
