LEAMINGTON – Talking Over Turkey keeps growing every year and its founders - Mike and Deanna Diab - couldn’t be happier about that.

On Saturday, Dec. 14, more than 625 people lined up in the Highbury Canco parking lot to get their Talking Turkey box, which included a turkey, stuffing, potatoes and vegetables.

What started as an exercise in ‘paying it forward’ in 2016 has grown from 50 turkeys to 625 turkeys plus all the fixings. Mike explained how a simple cup of coffee that someone had paid for him turned into the idea of giving away turkeys. “I really wish I had thought of this years ago. It really brings the community together. You can feel the giving spirit here among the volunteers and the recipients,” he said as the distribution began on Saturday morning. “My biggest fear is that we won’t have enough... I’d feel terrible if we ran out,” he said.

There were no stipulations to the giveaway — just having a need.

And Mike said the term ‘need’ is very subjective, and they just hoped it will help local residents enjoy a family dinner on Christmas Day. “It’s all about bringing families together at the table over a special dinner and we wanted to make that happen for more people,” said Mike.

Leamington to have Waterfront Destination Master Plan

into a multi-use, pedestrian focused social and tourism destination. Following the issuing of a request for proposals, thinc’s offer was the lowest of six submitted at $85,160 plus applicable taxes.

During budget deliberations earlier this year, council discussed Leamington’s marina, promenade, dock, Seacliff Park and Seacliff Amphitheatre — collectively referred to as the ‘waterfront’ — as key components to the community’s tourism industry. Roughly six months later, council sent out the RFP for consulting services to create the Waterfront master plan based on a study area that includes the area south of Seacliff Drive

West, primarily as far south as the Leamington Municipal Marina, all of Robson Road west of Cherry Lane and to the western extent of Seacliff Park jutting to the east of Grandview Crescent and Lombardy Lane up to Seacliff Drive.

Councillor John Jacobs inquired about the large size of the study area, which engineering project manager Alexander Del Brocco explained was necessary to properly assess the target area.

“This is the core area of the Waterfront,” he stated.

“We want to really look closely at the community around the promenade, park, marina and streets.

We need to know the extent of the impact on the entire community to make sure people can get in and out of the area easily and safely.”

Del Brocco later explained that parking availability in the area will also be considered in depth as part of the master plan.

After net HST, thinc’s services will come to a cost of $86,659. Coupled with incidental and third party review costs of $13,341, the budget for the Waterfront Destination Master Plan will come out to an even $100,000. The selected consultants have targeted a completion date for the plan at some point in October of 2020. The plan’s framework, as indicated in a report presented to council, will be based on a framework that is creative, inclusive, environmentally friendly and will conform to the municipality’s strategic objectives.

As part of coming up with the plan, thinc plans to organize and conduct stakeholder interviews and studies.

Additionally, three public ‘open house’ style sessions will take place at locations and dates that have yet to be determined.

LDSS hosts Climate Action Summit

By Bryan Jessop

The first step towards battling climate change with climate action at the local high school level has been initiated by a team from Leamington District Secondary School.

The LDSS Eco Team presented the first-of-itskind Climate Action Summit Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the Essex Civic Centre, where about 120 students from most Greater Essex County District School Board high schools gathered to both hear and suggest measures to address climate change in their own communities. Teams from GECDSB schools including both LDSS and Kingsville District High School each met representatives of their respective municipalities, from members of council to administration and other departments.

Each school team was limited to a maximum of eight members based on space restraints, although an extra five attended from LDSS to help organize the event. Guest speakers including representatives of the GECDSB, Essex Re-

gion Conservation Authority (ERCA), Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, Windsor Law and the LDSS Eco Team itself discussed climate issues and challenges — primarily those being experienced in Essex County — and how to lessen the impact of problems including flooding, algae blooms and poor air quality.

“It’s turned out really well,” explained LDSS Eco Team member Krystal Robinson, one of the event’s organizers. “There are a lot of different questions being asked. The students are very engaged and they’re eager to learn how to better their schools.”

“A lot of students want to learn how to get their Eco Teams more structured. It’s turning out to be very inspiring,” added LDSS Eco Team president Fumi Malott.

Many of the items on the summit’s itinerary took place in Essex County chambers, including discussions with all schools from the Windsor Law group.

“They’ve taken a very interactive approach in the way they talk about major issues in our communities,”

The 45-minute discussions between students and their respective communities’ political leaders and staff included Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke, director of community and development services Paul Barnable, manager of Public Works Ken Brown, planner Daryan Branch and economic development officer James Cox for Leamington.

Earlier, Cox also discussed how climate change impacts the economy and how local communities can adapt with all 12 schools. The Kingsville District High School team met with Mayor Nelson Santos, Deputy Mayor Gord Queen, Manager of Public Works Shaun Martinho and councillor Kim DeJong.

“This has been a good learning experience for members of council and students as well,” noted Queen.

The Kingsville group discussed climate changerelated issues including challenges experienced at marina boat slips and several cancellations for minor soccer and baseball seasons triggered by flooding.

The Leamington group focused on the sewer separation project, the proposal to install public electric car charging stations and the possibility of Eco Team members helping out with sandbag distribution for any future flooding issues as the OPP conducted earlier this year.

The summit was funded in part through a $2,500 grant presented by Libro Credit Union.

KINGSVILLE – On December 13 at approximately 8 p.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a pedestrian who had been struck by a motor vehicle at the intersection of Division Road and King Street in Kingsville.

A teenaged girl was crossing King Street when she was struck by a vehicle turning left onto King Street from Division Road. The girl fell to the ground and the driver of the involved vehicle stopped briefly but then drove away without rendering assistance. The girl contacted family members who attended and took her to hospital where she was treated for minor injuries.

The involved vehicle is described as a white Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), possibly a Ford Explorer, with a male driver and one passenger.

The OPP asks that anyone who can assist in identifying the vehicle or driver involved in this collision to contact the Kingsville Detachment at 519-733-2345.

Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.catchcrooks.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

LEAMINGTON – Leamington Fire Services changed its fire dispatch service provider from LaSalle Fire Services to Windsor Fire & Rescue Services.

The change became official yesterday, Tuesday, Dec. 17. This change does not affect citizens who dial 9-1-1 for fire dispatch service. This also does not affect the non-emergency number used for alarm companies or burn permits.

“The contract was up, so we put it out for tender and went with Windsor Fire Service. We saved a little money and have an experienced, professional fire service,” said Leamington Fire Chief Andrew Baird.

“If we didn’t say anything, no one would have known there was a difference,” stated Chief Baird.

Less than 1% increase in County budget for 2020

By Ron Giofu

ESSEX COUNTY – Essex County Council passed its 2020 budget with the county portion of tax bills to rise by less than one per cent.

County Council raised taxes 0.9 per cent, or $8.72 on a home assessed at $200,000. That is higher than the draft budget, with that draft budget calling for a 0.67 per cent increase or $6.50 on a $200,000 home. The increase came as a result of elected officials choosing to put an extra $250,000 in reserves for the county’s share of the municipal portion that has to go towards the new megahospital. County Council members opted to put more money in the reserve now so that any future debt in the future would be lessened.

The County of Essex is also pulling $11.7 million from reserves to fund capital projects.

The total county levy in 2020 is pegged at $109.4 million, up from the $102.8 million that is being projected for 2019. County of Essex treasurer Sandra Zwiers pointed out the county has no levy supported debt and was given a AA+ credit rating by Standard & Poor’s.

She said the county has healthy liquidity, a solid reserve strategy, a long standing life-cycle capital program and has a pay-as-you-go infrastructure approach.

Zwiers added that tax rates are consistently at or below the rate of inflation.

Similar to what town administration has been warning about, Zwiers also warned county politicians about a loss of funding from the Ontario government and noted the county also faces “future funding uncertainty” from the province.

Other 2020 budget impact variables include change in statutory deductions such as WSIB and proposed “staffing changes to address underserviced programs and services,” with those to possibly impact the Sun Parlor Home in Leamington, and departments such as planning, council and community services. The county also faces variables such as asset management funding, which includes contributions to reserves based on amortization, base levy contributions as part of the pay-as-you-go strategy, contributions from reserves to address timing issues and to deal with climate change.

The county is also opting on a $13.8 million infrastructure rehabilitation program with $5.33 million of that being approved for early release at a November meeting of Essex County Council. Zwiers also pointed out there is a comprehensive asset management plan as a funding gap exists between asset deterioration and renewal requirements.

There is also $4.8 million set aside to continue with the County-Wide Active Transportation System (CWATS) and $2.8 million of that comes from the county’s roadway expansion reserve.

There was also a change to the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit’s funding formula as Zwiers noted the formula changes that were imposed by the province sees the formula go from a 75/25 model to a 70/30 model. That means an increase of $261,000 to the county’s contribution.

The 2020 Essex County budget also has $800,000 set aside for a capital reserve dealing with social housing.

Zwiers noted the existing inventory is in need of “significant” capital rehabilitation and there is a growing demand that requires an expansion of inventory.

OPP program supports Leamington Salvation Army

By Bryan Jessop

It may not be Santa’s sleigh, but a Leamington OPP vehicle has made a delivery that should make the holidays a little easier for many of the community’s underprivileged families.

The annual Leamington OPP Stuff-A-Cruiser took place Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Real Canadian Superstore on Talbot Street East, where 21 large boxes of non-perishable food items donated by the store’s customers were filled and delivered to the Leamington Salvation Army food bank on Settterington Street later that afternoon. Also during the four-hour event, Superstore customers donated $515, also to be used for stocking the food bank’s shelves at the Leamington Salvation Army.

“People have been really generous,” explained Leamington OPP community safety officer Katherine Burt, who led this year’s Stuff-A-Cruiser. “It’s amazing how quickly we were able to fill these boxes.”

Burt was assisted for this year’s campaign by representatives of the Border Security Services program at St. Clair College in Windsor, including seven stu-

dents and the head of the program, who helped customers bag groceries. The group of volunteers loaded carts, boxes and the OPP cruiser with donations while also helping customers fill out ballots for a gift basket containing $250 worth of items donated by the Superstore.

“The Real Canadian Superstore is really community minded,” Burt explained. “They let us set up here and gave a gift basket with gift cards and all kinds of nice goodies. I don’t know how we’d do this without them.”

Once the interior of the OPP cruiser on site for the event reached capacity, St. Clair College Border Security Club volunteers began filling their own vehicles.

Burt and members of the Windsor-based group delivered the collection in person to the Setterington Street address shortly after finishing the food drive at about 3 p.m. The donation was accepted by SA co-captains Phoungern and Oudaovanh Sombounkhanh.

Although Stuff-A-Cruiser is primarily an annual event, Burt noted that it took a hiatus for 2018 to ensure that it did not compete with similar food drives tak-

ing place at the same time throughout the Leamington area. While collecting donations for the SA food bank, Saturday’s gathering at the local Superstore also served as an opportunity for the Essex County to promote its “Lock It or Lose It” campaign.

“We’re trying to remind people that when they’re doing their shopping, to keep purchases locked up in the trunk whenever possible,” Burt noted. “It’s important to keep in mind when your vehicle is in a store parking lot during the holidays, or even in your own driveway.”

Habitat homes in Kingsville completed in time for Christmas

By Bryan Jessop

Nobody has to explain to two local families that there’s no place like home for the holidays.

For the first time in its 25-year history, Habitat For Humanity Windsor-Essex has finished two simultaneous builds on back-to-back properties beyond Windsor’s city limits.

The Ford and Fortuna families are moving into homes in Kingsville’s Cedarhurst Park and although the structures are situated on different streets, they are clearly visible from one another’s back yards. A ceremony to mark the completion of construction on both homes took place in the area Monday, Dec. 16, where Habitat For Humanity representatives, project volunteers, sponsors, political dignitaries, contractors, supporters and friends greeted and congratulated the two families. The Ford family’s home was officially the 66th build for the Windsor-Essex branch while the

Fortuna’s was the 67th.

Both homes were completed Friday, Dec. 13, allowing licensed contractors and the accompanying team of about 300 volunteers to finish four days ahead of the original December 17 target date. As intended, both families will be moving into their new homes prior to Christmas Day. “This is so amazing to see from where we were just about 13 weeks ago to where we are today,” said Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos, who took part in the ribbon cutting ceremonies for both families. “From those first few holes that were dug with everybody’s help, it’s come a long way.”

“Building in this municipality has been both our privilege and our pleasure,” explained Habitat For Humanity Windsor-Essex director of operations Pamela Breault, who introduced guests from all three levels of government including Santos, Essex MPP Taras Natyshak and Essex MP Chris Lewis.

Habitat For Humanity Windsor-Essex executive director Fiona Coughlin described the organization she represents as one of the area’s frontrunners in the ongoing battle against poverty and the affordable housing crisis. With the support of contributors including presenting sponsor Libro Credit Union, Coughlin explained that builds 66 and 67 were pivotal milestones that will be accompanied by four more new homes to be constructed in 2020.

“This moment in time is a turning point for our county,” she declared. “More often than ever before, it is children and families that are ending up without a home. With the growing housing crisis, our children are growing up afraid that they will never be able to afford a house. It’s time for all of us to recognize that housing is a basic human right, not an investment commodity. Today, we celebrate two more victories in this battle for home ownership.

Seasonal Festive RIDE campaign now underway Motorists are reminded that officers can demand a driver to submit to a Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) and a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Evaluation. SFSTtrained officers and DREs have the expertise to detect impairment by alcohol, drugs or both in a driver.

OPP heading into campaign with enhanced tools and authorities The Festive RIDE campaign officially started November 23 and runs until January 2, 2020.

Police services across the province take part in holiday RIDE programs aimed at taking alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers off the roads.

Thanks to new impaired driving laws phased in last year, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is heading into the seasonal campaign with enhanced tools and authorities. Under the new law, police officers in possession of an approved screening device who lawfully pull over a driver in a RIDE initiative (or through any other lawful traffic stop) can now demand a breath sample without having reasonable suspicion that the driver has alcohol in their body.

The OPP has also acquired approved drug screening equipment, which can detect cannabis and cocaine in a driver’s saliva. The device can be used to enforce the provincial “zero tolerance” sanctions that now apply to young, novice and commercial drivers who are suspected of having the presence of drugs in their body.

HomeJames Chatham-Kent Police Service (CKPS) kicked off the Festive RIDE season by holding spot checks in the municipality. If you are enjoying festive beverages, plan for a safe ride home. Use a designated driver, call a cab or stay overnight.

HomeJames is also available to residents of ChathamKent by calling 519-351-3353. HomeJames is a community program dedicated to saving lives by providing a free designated driver service for impaired drivers in their own vehicles. For more information about Home James, go to www.homejames-ck.ca/ In 2018, 56 people were killed in alcohol/drug-related collisions on OPP-patrolled roads. Close to 600 people have died on OPP-patrolled roads in the past 10 years in collisions that involved an alcohol or drug-impaired driver. Every day, on average, four Canadians are killed and 175 are injured in impairment-related crashes.

Habitat For Humanity homes in Kingsville completed (Continued from Page 6) prove we continue to have to power to dramatically change things for local families.”

Coughlin noted that the organization’s 67 builds since 1994 have provided permanent, affordable homes for more than 330 residents — 56 per cent of whom are children.

Breault explained that the project, like many of its predecessors, faced challenges including timelines, the availability of skilled tradespersons, weather and street resurfacing. Overcoming those obstacles, she pointed out, was accomplished largely by a list of more than 30 contributors and supporters from service groups and government agencies to volunteers and local businesses.

“How do you say ‘thank you’ to people who give freely and who do this because they care?,” said Charmaine Ford on behalf of her family. “I don’t think there are words. I had a very unique opportunity to be on the job site almost every day — and I know many home-

owners don’t get that experience — and it changed my life truly. Every single person went above and beyond. Every single person was happy to be there. You could see that happiness and that commitment to helping in everything that they did and that was an amazing experience to witness. What I saw was the heart behind this home.”

“Working with everybody as much as we could — it was a pleasure,” added Ni-

cole Fortuna.

“I would like to thank all of you for everything you’ve done for us,” her son Logan continued in addressing the gathering of guests. “I would like to let you know that we are eternally grateful for the wonderful home that you have given us.”

Later in the event’s schedule, Carrie Anne Peters, cultural and development coordinator of Caldwell First Nation, performed a smudging ceremony on the

What’s in a Wheatley nickname?

I grew up with the same nickname my brothers had.

When I was a kid, they were both called ‘Rib’, and I was ‘Little Rib.’ I finally shook that ‘Little’ part off once I reached my teens.

Most of my friends call me Rib. I have one that calls me Ribsy, but he’s in the minority.

I often wondered, if I had grown up in Wheatley, would things have been different?

Maybe I’d have one of those cool Wheatley nicknames.

I read a Facebook post a couple of weeks ago that stated the late Bob Mills was responsible for the nicknames of a lot of the guys from my generation. I don’t know the accuracy of that, but remember Bob being around the Wheatley minor sports scene, so that could very well have some Mark Ribble validity. Bob’s son Tom (Mize) has a nickname of his own.

Sometimes the origins are simple, deriving themselves from the last name of the person, like Purse, Lager, Derb or Looper.

Others are less obvious, such as Popeye, Superman, Goot, Pie and Puffer.

Of course, if you go back a ways, you’ll find Whacker and Wiz and Bummy, along with Cowbell, Hoss, Fudd and Fish.

Some more older ones like Beaver, Truggie, Turk and Rivets.

There was Skinny and his younger brother Snake, who was not the only Snake in Wheatley. The late Ken Snider was known to many as Snake. Steve Smith has two nicknames, Snake and Doc. Go figure.

There are also a couple of Spuds and at least two guys called Grease. And so many Fishes.

You might be at a euchre tournament filled with Wheatley nicknames. Imagine being in the same room as Willie, Wally, Oli, Moose and Cat. It can happen. I’ve seen it.

Throw in Pinhead (pick one), Fluff, Piner and Boner, and you’ve almost got a baker’s dozen.

You could score the trifecta with the Howe brothers, Sky, Space and Demo. Likewise with the Anthonys, Slider, Aggie and Grease. You’d have a foursome with the Lambs: Chopper, Bugsy, Sob and Rink.

You have to wonder about the origin of some of them, like Poopie, Farts, Spanky and Tug. But who’s to judge?

There’s Bones, Lefty, Jingles and Booter. Or how about Toolman, Wiener or Bart?

Of course the younger generation is carrying on the tradition with nicknames like Peewee, Hollywood, Poodle, Beaup and Buckwheat.

We can’t forget Scoop, who scoured the streets of Wheatley looking for breaking news on a weekly basis. He likely has a list, cast in lead of course, somewhere in his vast array of memorabilia.

We’ve published a few here, but so many more are out there. Some are gone, some are still with us, but Wheatley will always be the nickname capital of the world, at least in my mind.

Our lives go on without you but nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartaches when someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you, silent tears that fall, Living our lives without you is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us, your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone we could always count on you.

The special years will not return when we were all together, But with the love within our hearts you will walk with us forever.

If I could visit Heaven, even for a day, Maybe for a moment, the pain would go away.

I would put my arms around you, and whisper words so true, That living life without you is the hardest thing to do.

No matter how I spend my days, no matter what I do, No morning dawns or evening falls, That I don’t think of you.

A proposal to bolster an often overwhelmed municipal planning department has been given the green light.

Leamington Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Peter Neufeld submitted to council a report requesting a reconfigured Organizational Structure for the Community and Development Service Area and the Engineering Services Departments, an incentive that will include the hiring of two new positions — a Manager of Development Approvals in the former department and a Development Approvals Technologist for the latter. The creation of the two new full time positions brought along with it approval of a first charge to the 2020 budget of $178,203. Neufeld explained that approving for such funds to be set aside prior to budget deliberations in February will allow the newly reorganized plan to be implemented immediately.

“There are many complicated developments coming from the engineering department,” Neufeld explained. “I believe the structural changes will make for an improved customer service system with proper internal support for engineering projects.”

Neufeld continued to explain that administration has reviewed the planning service department over the past several months and come to the conclusion that planning services and development approvals should function separately. Development applications, he noted, have increased from 63 throughout the year 2014 to 118 — thus far — for 2019.

“I’m reluctant to ask for a first charge (to the 2020 budget), but I believe its warranted,” Neufeld explained. “We just can’t keep up with the development. We don’t have the capacity to properly follow through with all the applications we’re receiving.”

Neufeld noted that as of the time the report was completed, 74 files in the site plan process remained under review by the Development Support Committee. Sixteen of those are carry overs from 2018, 21 are new applications received this year and 37 are files being reviewed that have yet to be entered into the formal application process.

Councillor John Jacobs explained that while he was not opposed to hiring the two new positions Neufeld requested, he was apprehensive about approving the $178,000plus to be spent as a first charge.

“If we pre-approve this and our budget doesn’t cut it, where do we make cuts from?,” Jacobs asked. “I don’t like spending money before I have it in my pocket.”

From there, Jacobs requested that spending the requested amount after 2020 budget deliberations start in February be considered, stressing that he could not support pre approval. In response, Neufeld explained that the sooner the new positions could be recruited, the sooner the bottleneck of development applications could be addressed.

“It’s just purely the volume,” he stated before explaining that the hires would free up planners from development services. “If I didn’t think it was crucial, I wouldn’t ask for it to be approved ahead of time.”

The motion to approve the proposal as submitted to council was approved in a vote of 5-2, with Jacobs and Bill Dunn voting against.

“Gifted” wine: what to do if it’s not to your liking I have received a couple of questions recently about “gifted” wine and what to do with it if it’s not to your liking.

If the wine is from someone who knows you well, then they should know what you like to drink and gift you appropriately, so I assume this is not the case.

I would never recommend giving the wine back to the person from whom it came with a “thank you for the gift, but we don’t care for this style of wine”, especially if they are related in any way (in-laws, cousins, etc.) as family ties don’t need more stress than they already have.

There are plenty of ways to use that wine even if it’s not one you would drink.

Perhaps the most obvious one would be to re-gift it, hopefully to someone who would enjoy it. If it’s a commonly known wine, then there’s no risk of the person who gave it to you finding out that you passed their gift on to someone else. If it’s a more rarely seen wine, I would recommend making sure that the person you’re gifting it to has more than six degrees of separation from the original source.

Even if you’re not a fan of the wine itself, there is still a lot to be said for using it in your cooking. White wines add great flavour to soups, cream-based sauces and stir-fried dishes, and red wines are just as handy in soups and stews

or anything that could use an extra kick of flavour.

A really easy way to do this is to freeze the wine in an ice-cube tray. Keep the wine cubes into a Ziploc bag when they’re frozen and then when you need to use them, just pop two or three into the pot with whatever you’re cooking up.

Give them even more punch by adding your favourite Carmen Danner herbs and seasonings (garlic, sage, thyme, parsley, etc.) to the wine before it freezes – that way you’ll add even more flavour to your dish!

Also consider just how much you don’t like that wine… in the middle of a scorching hot and humid summer day, mix white wine half and half with tonic water for a very refreshing, lower-alcohol beverage, or mix red wine with an assortment of seasonal fruits and berries and make your own sangria. Christmas coming? Make a mulled wine by gently simmering the wine with slices of orange and seasonal seasonings like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, anise and ginger.

LET’S WINE TOGETHER

Apple Fest raises $50,000

By Sheila McBrayne

It’s volunteers who make things happen. Sponsors, supporters, community and volunteers are at the heart of Community Living Essex County.

“Tonight is all about the volunteers,” said Tony DeSantis, Manager of Community Relations with Community Living Essex County.

Approximately 100 volunteers filled the boardroom at Kingsville Arena on Wednesday, Dec. 11 for a thank you dinner and the official revealing of a $50,000 cheque to the organization.

The cheque from the Ruthven Apple Festival Steering Committee represented the profits from this year’s 40th annual Ruthven Apple Festival. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It’s important that the community comes together for the same cause,” said DeSantis.

The appreciation dinner is a chance for Community Living to thank the volunteers who work all year preparing for the Apple Festival and other fundraisers. Live music by Martha Renaud was enjoyed after the light meal.

Since 1961, Community Living Essex County, a non-profit, registered charitable organization, has been committed to assisting people of all ages who have an intellectual disability and their families throughout Essex County.

CLEC upports over 650 people of all ages as they develop their capacity to live, learn, work and participate in their community.

One volunteer in particular was acknowledged for his 11 years of dedicated work in the Farmers Market. Dan Zompanti of Kingsville, whose father Antonio was posthumously acknowledged recently by the Leamington Historical Society for his community work was honored for his years of service to Community Living Essex County and the Ruthven Apple Festival. Dan left the steering committee due to growing personal health issues but he raised the bar in his dedication to the festival.

Community Living Essex County had a lot to celebrate on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at their annual grand reveal of the Apple Festival proceeds. The Ruthven Apple Festival Steering Committee presented a cheque for $50,000 from this year’s two-day event held on the grounds of Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. Pictured here, from left to right, are Corey Dalgleish, Director of Operations, Community Living Essex County, Joe Colasanti, Brianne Taggart and Tony DeSantis, Manager Community Relations, Community Living Essex County.

Proceeds from the festival will again be earmarked to purchase a new accessible vehicle or repair the existing vehicles. The vehicles help in transporting people supported by CLEC to and from appointments, volunteer and work opportunities across Essex County or for simply getting people to community events that they otherwise might not be able to enjoy.

Richard St. Denis was the musical guest for the after-

His repertoire included “Walk In the Garden,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “Lord I Hope This Day Is Good,” “What a Wonderful World,” “Silver Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Winter Wonderland” and “Snowbird,” to name a few.

Kayden Cook of the Southpoint Atom Minors fires a hard wrist shot on net.

(Submitted Photo)

Atom Minors shut out opponents in three weekend games December 13-15 was a perfect weekend for the Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Minor Atom Capitals, as they swept all three of their Bluewater League games.

On Friday night, the Caps travelled to Harrow to face off with the Erie North Shore Storm. After some back and forth action, Isaiah Georges chipped the puck to Kayden Cook who skated wide around the D and fired his shot in high past the Storm keeper to take the early lead.

Less than a minute into the middle frame, while on a power play, Brayden Foster moved the puck to Tyler Thomas then to AJ Youssef, who deked the goalie and tucked in to increase the lead.

In the third, despite being shorthanded, Cook picked up a loose puck and ripped it in short side. Next, Youssef stole the puck from a Storm player and was able to force it past the netminder to go up by four. Finally, in the dying seconds, Youssef fed Ben Liebrock in the slot and he ripped his shot past the goalie to cement the 5-0 victory. Karly Franklin made

a number of great saves to earn the shutout and win for her Capitals squad.

On Saturday afternoon, Southpoint hosted the Riverside Rangers. The Caps had many chances to score as they controlled the play and shot clock, but were unable to get on the board until the second. Tyler Thomas stole the puck at the line and continued in, wiring his wrist shot top shelf to take the lead. Next, Ben Liebrock grabbed the puck inside the line and toe-dragged around the defender and backhanded his shot off the goalie’s shoulder and in. Then AJ Youssef found himself behind the net so he stepped out and jammed it in the side to increase the lead to three.

With six minutes remaining in the third, Brayden Foster hit Liebrock with a pass in the slot. Liebrock dangled his way in and slid his shot in off the post. Finally, Isaiah Georges fired his shot from the point and Foster and Sloan Smith battled for the rebound with Smith eventually slipping it in to round out the scoring in a wellplayed 5-0 victory. Christian

Papp, though not busy, made some timely saves to secure his shutout win.

On Sunday afternoon, the Caps travelled to face off with the LaSalle Sabres.

Southpoint appeared a little sluggish in this contest, resulting in a scoreless game until the final frame.

About a minute into the third, Sloan Smith made a nice pass to Kayden Cook whose hard low wrist shot snuck through the five-hole to get on the board.

Six minutes later, Jonathan Recker stopped a LaSalle exit at the line and slid a pass over to Tyler Thomas who made no mistake and fired his shot high blocker side to go up by two.

With two minutes remaining, Zack Bradley sent the puck back to Charlie Ketler at the line and he zipped a shot on net. Sloan Smith, in the high slot, tipped his shot past the goalie to round out the scoring. Karly Franklin, in net for Southpoint, made some nice saves for her team when the game was scoreless and earned the shutout win for her Southpoint squad.

Atom Grey plays in first tourney of the season Southpoint’s Community Trophies Atom Grey team recently entered their first tournament of the season. It was a learning experience and a time to work on developing their game. The goal was to go into the tournament working on limiting the number of goals against and with the exception of one game, they did.

The first game was against LaSalle Green. Southpoint tested the LaSalle goalie often but they were only able to put one shot past him. The goal occurred when Connor Rumble-Anastacio stole the puck at centre and drove through the LaSalle defense to score. As it happens, that was the only goal Grey needed to win, since goalie Ty Gould earned a shutout.

In the second game, Grey took on LaSalle Blue. Grey scored first in the second. Chase Collins sent the puck out to Landon Carlini, who fired the puck under the LaSalle goalie.

LaSalle tied things up 20 seconds later. The game remained tied until late in the third when LaSalle capitalized on a Grey defensive error. The game ended 2-1.

The third opponent for Southpoint was LaSalle Red. Southpoint could not get going in the first half of the game and saw themselves down four goals midway through the second period. They finally got on the board with a Kyle Bradley shot on net. Gavin Butiniello picked up the assist on the play when he controlled the puck on the faceoff and sent it to Kyle. Connor scored a second goal on a rush down the ice. LaSalle matched Southpoint’s output in the second and the score was 5-2. Southpoint limited LaSalle’s scoring to one in the third and the game ended 6-2 for LaSalle.

The fourth and final game for Southpoint was with LaSalle White. Southpoint played well but there were a lot of missed shots and LaSalle ended up winning 2-0.

The positive take away from the tournament was seeing the Southpoint forwards switching from offensive mode to defensive and coming back hard to plug up the neutral zone.

a rebound past Ariana Quenneville and then when Cam Pestru found the back of the net with a low wrist shot 30 seconds later.

Undaunted, Butera banked a shot off goalie Rylie Lajoie’s left skate and back over the line, assisted by Mila Pereira and Gualtieri. With 1:33 left on the clock, DiLaudo slid a rebound under the St. Joe’s goalie after she stopped a Rylee Strahm shot. With 44.4 seconds to go, Butera took hold of the puck after a wide shot from Strahm bounced off the end boards and straight back out in front of the crease. The tying goal capped Butera’s hat trick.

The Lasers pushed hard for a tiebreaker in the final seconds, but were held at bay by the Cardinal Carter defense.

“That was an amazing ERY DELIVABLE L I AVA

comeback,” stated Cougars head coach Lisa Hedges.

“We started to pass and we started to play better. There was a bit of a lapse that cost us, but it was a great late third period.”

The 4-4 final came two days after Cardinal Carter visited the Tecumseh Vista Academy Vortex at Tecumseh Arena Monday, Dec. 9.

That game ended in a 2-2 stalemate, bringing the Cougars record to 0-1-3. Cardinal Carter will return home for a Wednesday, Jan. 8 contest against General Amherst at 3 p.m.

Flyers shoot down Rockets

By Bryan Jessop

Four days after suffering a Sunday evening loss in Chatham, the Leamington Flyers started looking like their former selves again… literally.

Leamington took five of the six penalties assessed during the first 40 minutes of a Thursday, Dec.12 home ice game against the visiting Rockets, but kept Strathroy’s defense on its heels for virtually every second of even strength play to earn a 7-2 victory. The victory also marked the return of forwards Griffin Robinson and Maddux Rychel, who were traded from the Flyers to the Maroons last season for Josh King and Thomas Michaud.

The Rockets buried the only goal of the opening 20 minutes once penalty trouble caught up to the hosts. During a man advantage, Jordan D’Intino sent a wrist shot off the post and past Ryan Polidori for a 1-0 lead that stood until the opening minute of the second frame.

Thirty-five seconds into period number two, Dylan Montie found a way past Joshua Diamond to tie the game after being set up by Rory DiNiro and Robinson.

Wyatt O’Neil buried the next two, assisted first by

Dylan Weston and Rychel and then by Jaydon Fetter and Weston. Joshua Maine, picked up earlier this month from the CCHL’s Pembroke Lumber Kings, added to Leamington’s lead with the fourth goal in less than fourand-a-half minutes.

Brendan Mairs got one back for Strathroy less than eight minutes into the third, but Adam Jeffery answered back 17 seconds later after taking feeds from Fetter and Michaud. Forty-five seconds later, O’Neil completed the hat trick after being set up

by Rychel and Weston. The scoring ended with a King marker assisted by Jacob Kalandyk.

Leamington outshot Strathroy by nearly a three to one margin — 62-21 — while going zero for six on the power play as the Rockets managed one for six.

“We started out a little slow and the penalties didn’t do us any favours,” explained Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “After that, we came out and played a solid game.”

Earlier that day, the Flyers announced the acquisition of Rychel and Robinson from the Maroons in exchange for Lucas Fancy and Cam Symons. On December 5, Darby Lemieux was sent to the

Junior C Blenheim Blades while Cam Armstrong was assigned to the same league’s Essex 73’s. On the same day, Leamington welcomed back defenseman Zach Taylor, who started the current season with the OJHL’s Collingwood Colts.

“Both of these guys want to be a part of this team and they’re buying into what it’s about,” Crowder said of bringing back Rychel and Robinson. “Through the first part of the season, this team put coaching and management in a position where we can win. In five on five, we weren’t scoring as much as we’d have liked to and players like this will give us a chance to do that.”

On Saturday, Dec. 14, the Flyers arrived in Sarnia to take on the Legionnaires.

Leamington came home with a 5-3 after being supported by tallies by Kobe Seguin, Dylan Weston, DiNiro, Rychel and O’Neil.

Leamington outshot the home team 36-29 and went zero for one on the man advantage while Sarnia scored twice on six chances.

The Flyers will visit the London Nationals Wednesday, Dec. 18 and then host the St. Marys Lincolns Thursday, Dec. 19 with a 7:10 p.m. opening faceoff.

Atom Grey wins two Southpoint Capitals Community Trophy Atom Grey team had two games on the weekend.

The Caps visited Amherstburg on Saturday, Dec. 14 and the coaches asked one thing of the team members, and that was to work on their back-checking, getting the forwards to hustle back into the neutral zone to disrupt the attack of the opposing team. They not only did that, but their fore-checking was superb, limiting the Amherstburg team to only a couple of shots.

Trophy’s Connor Rumble-Anastacio opened the scoring with a rush up the middle of the ice.

His shot went high over top of the goalie and into the net.

On the second goal, Connor maneuvered the puck into an open area and shot. The puck was stopped by the Amherstburg goalie, but Nicolas Magri pounced on the rebound and put the puck away.

The third Trophy goal was set up by the hard fore-checking Logan Konrad who sent the puck to Gavin Butiniello, who hammered it home.

Their fourth goal came at the end of the second period when centre Sean Amaral secured the puck on the faceoff and sent it to an open Kaeden McCormick. Kaeden quickly deposited it into an open corner of the net. That was his first goal in his young hockey career.

Early in the third, Connor went end-to-end and scored a second goal. He scored once more when he acquired the puck just inside the Amherstburg blueline, stepped away from the coverage and shot it in. Connor earned his first-ever hat trick.

Community Trophy won 6-0 and Ty Gould had picked up a shutout.

In the second game, Southpoint Grey took on Essex Black. The Southpoint back-check was still strong but a couple of defensive miscues allowed Essex breakaways which goalie Ty Gould neutralized with great stops.

Southpoint scored first. Kyle Bradley and Nic Magri collaborated in getting the puck out to Chase Collins who found the back of the net.

A minute later, Essex tied things up.

Southpoint’s Reid Charles backhanded a shot in when Chase won a faceoff and sent the puck to Reid. Near the end of the second, Kaeden McCormick sent the puck towards the Essex net. Sean Amaral had fallen but took a swing at the puck and tipped it past the Essex goalie.

Essex scored one more goal and the game ended in a 3-2 win for Southpoint Grey.

Kings win weekend games The opponents were different, but the results were largely the same for the Kingsville Kings over the past weekend.

The Kings extended their winning streak to three then four games, starting with a Saturday, Dec. 14 win over the hosting Tottenham Steam.

Tottenham jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Kingsville bounced back to claim a 7-4 victory.

Alex Fornari and James Lowry scored 28 seconds apart for a 2-0 Steam advantage before Lowry added another by the time the game was eight minutes old. Dexter Gourlay, Noah Shultz and Vaclav Boguaj however responded for the Kings to tie the score at 3-3 by the time four-and-a-half minutes were left of the opening period.

Fornari completed his hat trick with the only tally of the

middle frame, but the Kings came back with a vengeance in the third. Braydon Trenaman tied the game an even seven minutes into the third before Gourlay potted the game winner with roughly four minutes to go. Kingsville’s Zachary Dillen added the first insurance goal before Pavel Svoboda wrapped up the scoring with 33 seconds showing on the game clock.

Kingsville outshot the hosts 58-38 as Roni Koskinen earned the win in net.

A day later, the Niagara Whalers arrived at ‘The Castle’ in Kingsville and were sent home with a 5-1 loss. A scoreless first period was followed up with a flurry of tallies for the Kings, as Jan Sefl, Austin Scratch, Jerry Kilpimaa and Dillen joined forces to bring a 4-0 lead into the second intermission.

Kellan Rosenbaum put the visitors on the scoreboard less than two-and-a-half minutes into the third, but that would prove the extent of the damage inflicted by Niagara. Ondrej Benda potted the final goal with about 14-and-a-half minutes remaining in the contest.

Kingsville outshot the Whalers 58-39 as Marek Pavlas registered the win between the pipes. The wins left the Kings three points behind St. George and North York, which are tied for first place in the South Division with 44 points each. Kingsville had five games in hand over North York.

The next home game for Kingsville will be played at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22 against the Windsor Aces. On Saturday, Dec. 21, the Kings will visit the Windsor squad for a 7:30 p.m. opening faceoff.

Awesome 1953 Chevy panel van Gerry Dauphinee was born in Etobicoke on March 25, 1952. Exactly one year later, Knights Cleaners in Thomasville, Alabama, purchased a new 1953 Chevrolet panel van for $2,179.

In 2007, Gerry bought that same vehicle from vintage car dealer Bob Gault in LaSalle.

It was a red primered rust bucket. Gerry, the second owner, trailered it home to Gravenhurst to work on it.

When he and his wife moved to Erin, Ontario, Gerry built a garage, took the Chevy all apart, and added a new floor pan, firewall and Mustang Bill Sherk II front suspension. Then they moved to Orillia.

To speed up the rebuild, Gerry in 2014 arranged with Body by Biggs near Orillia for a total rebuild. Biggs is famous for complete award winning frame-off restorations. The work was completed in 2016 with a dazzling finish in Tangello Orange Pearl from House of Kolor.

Gerry and his wife moved to Leamington in early 2017 with their Chevy in an enclosed trailer. The Chevy roof was too high to fit inside the trailer so they let the air out of the tires, then rolled it in.

Last September, Gerry won Best Paint at the Apple Festival Car Show in nearby Ruthven, attended by over 300 classic cars. He won People’s Choice at the McGregor Music Festival and has driven to the Old Autos show in Bothwell, Reaume GM dealership show in Amherstburg, Lally Ford show in Leamington, LaSalle car show and several others.

Under the hood is a 350 Chevy with Holley four-barrel carb and a notch in the firewall to accommodate the engine owing to the size of the new Walker rad. Power is fed to a 700R4 automatic transmission which a friend had won at a car show, but because the friend was a Ford guy, he gave it to Gerry.

Add to that a custom-built drive shaft, 12-bolt Chevy rear end and chrome reverse rims

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

Gerry Dauphinee’s dream machine.

from Hortons Hot Rods. Awesome!

The finishing touch was the Harley Davidson art work on the sides of the panel van applied by Chapman Signs in Leamington.

GLS Appraisals conducted a thorough examination of the vehicle and declared its value to be $115,000, reflecting the high quality of craftsmanship that turned this dream into reality.
