LEAMINGTON – Leamington Council agreed to move on to the next step in what would be one of the largest drain improvement projects ever undertaken.

Last week (Nov. 26), Council agreed that the $2-million Sturgeon Creek drain improvement will go to a Court of Revision on Jan. 15 to determine who pays what for the project.

The drain is the second largest in the municipality and actually reaches into farmland in Kingsville. Over 7,200 acres are in the drainage area and 500 landowners are involved.

Improvements to the drain have been in the works for several years, and drainage superintendent Lu-Ann Marentette said that a lot of survey work had to be done.

One of the major costs is the construction of a diversion channel to carry overflow water southerly to reconnect with the drain south of Mersea Rd. 1. The diversion would be constructed on the farm owned by Herm Dick who argued that he should not have to pay any portion for the construction of a bridge to link his farm.

With all the engineering completed, the only step remaining now for any landowner is to dispute the costs at the Court of Revision.

There are 14 bridges and culverts included in the project. Three bridges will have to be rebuilt and one new one built.

Improvements to the drain are expected to take at least two years.

Festive RIDE campaign: Nov. 23 to Jan. 2 ONTARIO – The Ontario Provincial Police has launched its annual Festive RIDE campaign.

Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) continues until January 2, 2019.

Heading into the first Festive RIDE campaign since the legalization of non-medical cannabis, the OPP is remind-

ing drivers that they are as prepared to deal with drugimpaired drivers over the holidays as those who are alcohol-impaired.

So far this year (2018), alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in the deaths of 39 people on OPP-patrolled roads.

From January 1 to midOctober 2018, (the OPP’s latest data) the OPP laid

more than 6,700 impaired driving charges across the province, 283 of which were impaired by drugs.

The OPP’s Standardized Field Sobriety Test-trained officers and Drug Recognition Experts have been in place for years and continue to prove effective in identifying drug-impaired drivers.

Christmas light show is a loving tribute

By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE – There must’ve been some magic...

There certainly was on Marshwoods Blvd. on the weekend. Was it the tremendous light show that had nearly 20,000 LED lights flashing to the holiday music that filled the air? Was it the visitors who stopped by to take in one of four nightly shows?

It was so much more! It was actually the story behind the Christmas lights extravaganza... the story of holiday traditions, especially between a young man and his grandma.

Unfortunately, this will be his first Christmas of having to carry on that tradition alone.

For 22-year-old Colton Williams of Kingsville, the tradition of stringing Christmas lights with his grandma Lois Williams goes back to his childhood. But about five years ago, that tradition was taken to another level. The young man, who is a computer science student at the University of Windsor, decorated her house and created a light show with the lights ‘dancing’ along to the music.

Following a cancer diagnosis and the sale of his grandma’s house, Colton moved the display to his family home at 24 Marshwoods Blvd.

Through word of mouth and social media posts, Colton said the display became a popular draw for families and a community fundraiser as well. He said $625 was raised for the Kingsville Food Bank through donations placed in a donation box in the front yard.

While the lights could have gone out quietly this year following the passing of his grandmother in May, Colton instead vowed to take it up another notch as a tribute to the woman who encouraged his love of celebrating the season through lights and music.

Instead, he invested more money and more time to make this year’s show even more magical.

Colton estimates he put in about 50 hours putting up the lights, with a little help, and has invested about $10,000 over

Series of break and enters in the area CHATHAM-KENT – Recently, there has been a series of break and enters into cottages and sheds in several areas of Chatham-Kent.

Items such as televisions and tools have been stolen.

Chatham-Kent Crime Stoppers would like to remind residents to close and secure all doors and windows to cottages and sheds. Criminals look for easy targets, so let’s work together in an effort to remove those opportunities.

Crime Stoppers is asking residents to be extra vigilant. If you hear or see something suspicious, call the police immediately. The quicker an officer responds, the better chance there is of interrupting a crime in progress and identifying those responsible.

If you have any information regarding this type of crime or any other crime, call CK Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit www.crime-stoppers. on.ca and email your tip.

Crime Stoppers guarantees your anonymity, never asks for your name, or phone number, and pays cash for tips.

Colton Williams of Kingsville has created a dancing Christmas light show, complete with music, as a loving tribute to his grandmother, Lois Williams. The public is welcome to drive by the Williams’ home at 24 Marshwoods Blvd. in Kingsville to enjoy the show.

the years to cover the cost of lights, computer software, etc.

“My grandma would’ve loved it,” said Colton.

While the music and lights draw dozens of cars on a nightly basis, Colton is blessed to have good neighbours, he said. They join in the holiday fun by bringing their own families out to take in the show.

This year’s beneficiary will be the Canadian Cancer Society, in memory of his grandma.

The shows kicked off Saturday night, Dec. 1, and despite a rainy inaugural evening, about 70 carloads took in the show on the weekend and about $250 was raised in cash and through online donations.

There are four shows nightly – at 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Each one different through Dec. 20, with finale shows from Dec 21 through Dec. 26. Visitors are encouraged to tune into FM 91.5 to listen to the Image courtesy of Snap’d Windsor music in the comfort of their vehicles or brave the ele-

ments and stand out front, taking in the whole experience through the Williams’ speakers.

A donation box sits in front of the house for those who’d like to donate as a tribute to the woman who instilled a love of the holiday season, in all its glory, in her grandson. As a special touch, Colton has added a memorial board for visitors to include the names of their loved ones who battled or are currently battling cancer.

Memories of the South Essex Hockey League Last week, I got thinking about the old South Essex Hockey League.

As a curious kid and big hockey fan, I loved spending my Monday nights at the old Leamington Arena, watching the rough-and-tumble antics of the Blytheswood Mic Macs, Leamington Indians and Wheatley Omsteads through that old chain link fencing that protected the fans from flying Mark Ribble pucks.

Names such as Patkau, Banyai, Jackson, Harris (pick one) and Cowan were household amongst fans of the old league here.

Because I was from Leamington, I had a soft spot for the Indians (who were later called the Firebirds), but I was equally a fan of the Mic Macs and the brand of hockey they played. The Harris brothers formed a much-feared threesome in that league. Watching Big Butch, Little Butch and Brian go into the corner and coming out with the puck was a highlight for me as I usually sat as close to the action as possible in those days.

Looking back on some of the old articles by Roger Hodgson in the Leamington Post, I see there was an Amherstburg A’s team in 1970. I do not remember them. It was probably because they were the ‘far-away’ team.

I do remember the Cottam Spitfires, who must have come along later on, with familiar hockey names like Newman and McDermott.

The Wheatley Omsteads wore those bright orange jerseys back then, with Paul Reid and Roy Taylor between the pipes and Elmer “Fudd” Jackson, Terry “Whacker” Jackson, and a young Andy Herring in the lineup.

By the time my 13th birthday rolled around, the South Essex League was no more. The Omsteads and Mic Macs both joined the Seaway Intermediate League and had some success there, but Monday nights at Leamington arena would never be the same again. My childhood dream of

LET’S WINE TOGETHER

New wine festival planned for 2019

In case you haven’t heard, the local wine comCarmen Danner munity is toasting a new wine festival to be held in Windsor on June 28 and 29, 2019.

The festival, hosted by WindsorEats, will be called “Cab Franc Fest” and will highlight the Cabernet Franc grape, which grows extremely well in the Essex-Pelee Island Coast (EPIC) region and could easily be called our “signature” grape. Our terroir (the weather, soil, and climate) creates ideal conditions for the grape to thrive.

playing in the South Essex League was over, so I thought.

Fast forward to about 1983, and for a short time I got to realize my dream of playing in the South Essex Hockey League.

I had just come off a less-than-stellar season playing defence for the Wheatley Omsteads in the Seaway League and was looking for something more local.

I got wind that Murray Setterington was pushing to get the South Essex League resurrected. There was a meeting held at Guido’s Restaurant in Kingsville and I attended to see what was up.

As it turned out, there was enough interest from a few teams to form a league.

Andy Wiper and I scrambled to get a team together and we talked Frank Meloche, “the car deal king’, into sponsoring us.

The Leamington Marathon Ford Chiefs were born, along with the Leamington Datsun team, Essex Central Tavern, Kingsville, Wheatley and the Harrow Sailors.

We played out of Wheatley and Kingsville arenas.

Murray Setterington was named league commissioner and I remember an impassioned speech he gave one night at an early meeting, cigar perched in the corner of his mouth, about wanting to see this league play old-fashioned contact hockey.

Old hockey memories don’t get any better than this, but it was short-lived.

The Chiefs, well we were dismal. We played for three seasons and folded it up, and I think the league folded the following year.

It just wasn’t the old South Essex League, but we did have a few highlights, including holding our All-Star game where we played against the Detroit Red Wing Alumni team. They beat us handily, but loved our hospitality and the fish fry we put on for the players and their spouses. So much so, that they invited us to Joe Louis Arena on a Friday night to play against them there. It made for one great final South Essex experience for about 20 guys who made the trip over to Detroit that night.

says, “We wanted to focus in on something that this region excels at… There are many wine regions in the province, but Windsor-Essex is currently producing some of the best Cabernet Franc…”

Not a fan of Cabernet Franc? Not to worry. Participating wineries are sure to bring a selection of their bounty to the festival, which will feature a dozen local wineries and several food vendors. There is sure to be something to match your taste. Festival-goers will only be able to purchase wine by the glass, not by the bottle.

The festival’s location has yet to be finalized; however, tickets are already available on the WindsorEats website.

The truth about us The days fly by. We continue to try and fit in either a morning run and bike ride or late afternoon workout. Making this time is a must to maintain a strong body and mind. We keep ourselves busy, but still the days can become monotonous.

Whether it’s Wednesday or Sunday, the routine for the owners is the same. I am certain that everyone’s Shannon job after a time be- Matheson comes just that, day in and day out. It makes it easier to plan, and if Mark and I time it right, we can call it a day around seven each evening.

The owners’ family and guest will be here from December 12 through until January 17. Thankfully, Chef Eva from France will be taking over in the kitchen!

Mark has repaired drips in the plumbing here and there, while keeping up on the ongoing maintenance issues as they arise. Arthur’s motto, “If it’s not broken don’t fix it”, is all good until it breaks. We are always happy to have the part needed and it’s even better if its in good shape. Seals crumble, glue hardens and batteries corrode quickly in the salty air. Thankfully, humans thrive in it!

Ghandi, my friend and housekeeper, showed up late Friday night like a breath of fresh air. She has been given a one-year contract at a public school in Andros. The teacher who was contracted to lead the preschool program never showed up in September, so Ghandi has taken over. Two hundred dollars a week doesn’t go far when you live on an island in the Bahamas, or anywhere else for that matter. She has a niece and a nephew in her class. Cruz’s son C.J. (Cruz Junior) is one of them. It took a while before they got used to calling their Aunt Ghandi Ms. Knowles and now they call her that at home too!

As we enter into the Christmas season, try to focus on the simple things, the worldly gifts that come from this world like food, water and your loved ones. They are not the gifts that we have created to fulfill the American dream. That dream seems to be faltering all around us at this moment.

Overall, the people in the Bahamas seem content. I can guarantee you that they don’t have much, but they are happy. If this is true, then why is it that we spend the best parts of our life striving for things that they don’t have?

Feeling like life just passed you by. That ain’t so girl, you can count your blessings. There’s more to life than your fancy dressing. The sun’s going to rise and set in the same spot everyday. I don’t want to live like the Jones’s anyway. I’ll take the simple life with you every day. That’s what we got girl. Oh yeah, oh yeah.” – Jody Raffoul

Kingsville Goodfellows prepare for holiday donations

By Bryan Jessop

KINGSVILLE — There’ll be less “drive” in this year’s KDHS Can Drive, but the Goodfellows are hoping the community’s showing of support doesn’t change.

For the 51st year, the Kingsville and Gosfield South Goodfellows will collect donations from across the region to fill Christmas hampers that will be distributed to less fortunate families across the municipality. This year’s event will take on a different strategy for Kingsville District High School, which like other Greater Essex County District School Board facilities, can no longer go door-to-door collecting donations because of insurance liability concerns.

Instead, members of the general public are being encouraged to drop off canned goods and non-perishable food items to the local high school at 170 Main St. East. The drop off period will take place Tuesday, Dec. 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Local elementary schools, including Kingsville Public School and Jack Miner Public School, are also helping the Goodfellows collect inventory for this year’s hampers.

In previous years, KDHS collected several thousand donations in-

cluding fruits and vegetables. This year, the school is focusing on canned goods and other non-perishables.

Each year’s drive is preceded by a registration period for local families in need.

Kingsville Goodfellows member Tom Bishop explained that the number of households to receive deliveries this year has dipped to about 100. For some years, the number of hampers applications received reached a high of about 150.

“It all depends on the

“It’s a credit to our community to see people giving to others in hard times.”

— Tom Bishop

economy at this time of year,” noted Bishop, who also pointed out that each recipient family receives a small turkey. “There’s no actual goal for the number of items we get, so long as there’s enough to fill the baskets we send out each year.”

Each year, members of the Kingsville Goodfellows pick up donations at local schools and bring them to Epworth United Church on Division Street South to be

sorted. From there, hampers — which are actually cardboard boxes — are distributed to recipient homes starting at approximately 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19. On average, 35 to 40 volunteers assist with preparation and delivery of baskets, including nonGoodfellows.

“We’ve got a really good group, but we never turn anybody away,” Bishop explained.

Anyone wishing to volunteer with this year’s Kingsville Goodfellows campaign can contact its president Alex McHardy at 519-7334239.

Each year, the organization also works in partnership with Toys For Tots, working alongside project organizer Lauren Bradt of Leamington. On Saturday, Dec. 8, the Goodfellows will present Stuff The Fire Truck from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Red Apple located at 33 Division St. North in Kingsville. During that time, residents are encouraged to stop by with toy donations for local children under 15 years of age.

“Kingsville’s always been really good with food and toy donations,” Bishop said. “It’s a credit to our community to see people giving to others in hard times.”

Mayors Santos and McNamara running for warden ESSEX COUNTY – Essex County Warden Tom Bain is saying goodbye to that position and now knows who is officially interested in taking over the Essex County’s top political job.

Bain, who will be returning to County Council as the Mayor of Lakeshore, is stepping down as warden at the term’s end. Bain has served as warden, which is the head of County Council, since 2010. He also served as warden in 1993 when the position had a one-year term.

Seeking to replace Bain as warden are Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos and Tecumseh mayor Gary McNamara. Santos was the warden from 2006-2010, and while McNamara has never been warden, he has 20 years of experience on County Council and is a former president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

Bain is finishing up two consecutive four year terms as warden, and told the crowd at the Warden’s Banquet Friday night, Nov. 16,

he enjoyed the experience.

“It’s been great the last four years,” he said. “It’s been great the last eight years.”

The inaugural meeting

of the new County Council will be Wednesday, December 12. That is the night the new warden and deputywarden will be elected by their peers.

Annual Gator Drive well underway LEAMINGTON – Gore Hill Public School Gators and Principal’s Council have begun their annual Gator Drive. Until December 7, students are asked to bring in a variety of items that will be donated to the Leamington Salvation Army Food Bank.

Each of the 10 days of the drive has a specific theme.

Last year, the school collected over 2,400 items. Staff and students hope to surpass that amount this year. Pictured, Principal’s Council member Andrea Austin carefully packs the day’s collection of items for the school’s Gator Drive.

Leamington Goodfellows gearing up for hampers program

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON — The time of year for service groups to become local versions of Santa Claus is fast approaching.

The Leamington Goodfellows are no exception.

With several tasks to fulfill for their annual Christmas Hampers, the Goodfellows are now in the process of recruiting volunteers. The philanthropic event will again be based around the Leamington District Secondary School’s senior students’ can drive, with responsibilities for members of the public to take on before, during and after the gathering of non-perishable food items and monetary donations.

“We’ve got about 50 who’ve stepped forward so far, but we can always use more volunteers,” explained Leamington Goodfellows president Bill Slater, who took on the position following the passing of Don Nicholson in January of this year.

“We never have trou“This is a great ble getting volunteers community — because it’s a good all we have to program, but like anydo is ask and thing else, we can althey help out.” ways use more.”

— Bill Slater On Wednesday, Dec. 12, the organization will gather large apple totes that will be used to keep canned goods while also retrieving some of the donations being offered by local canning companies. For Friday, Dec., 14 — the day of the LDSS canned good drive — a team will be needed to sort different types of food donations at the Westmoreland Sales warehouse on Industrial Drive.

As students are no longer permitted to drive vehicles for the collection process because of liability concerns, organizers at LDSS are currently working on options to ensure the deliveries can be made to Westmoreland on December 14.

On Monday, Dec. 17, baskets/hampers will be set up at Westmoreland from 9 a.m. to noon. Also that day, some vegetables are expected to arrive from some of the local farms participating in the program. Local operations making contributions include Sun Brite Foods Inc., Weil’s Food Processing in Wheatley, Bonduelle Canada Inc. of Tecumseh and the Gleaners in Leamington. Multiple local greenhouse operations, businesses and individuals also make donations.

“There are a lot of very generous people in the area,” Slater noted. “This is a great community — all we have to do is ask and they help out.”

For Tuesday, Dec. 18, LDSS and UMEI students will take morning and afternoon shifts respectively to fill baskets.

From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, bread, margarine and other food items are picked up from participating grocery stores.

The final phase of the program takes place Saturday, Dec. 22, when a team of volunteers — many offering the use of their pick up trucks or SUVs — deliver the baskets to families registered for the Goodfellows’ program. In recent years, an average of 180 to 200-plus local households have benefited from the Christmas Hampers. In addition to a number of bushel baskets delivered according to the number of people per residence, each family also receives a turkey.

Anyone interested in volunteering for this year’s Christmas Hampers event can contact Slater at 519-326-1573, Richard Stockwell at 519-326-2258 or Ron Haley at 519322-4893.

There were bags of candy handed out on Sunday at the Wheatley Santa Claus parade – much to the delight of brothers Evan, 4, and Luke Merrill, 2, who were visiting from Tecumseh.

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time Left - In the fall of 1948, the Melton Brothers Fishery caught a 115 pound sturgeon, measuring 6 feet 2 inches, in Lake Erie. Sydney Melton, “Red” Malott and Arnold Melton are shown displaying their prize fish. Despite its tremendous size, this was not the largest sturgeon ever caught in the lake. Mr. Ransom Craus and the men at Capt. Post’s Fishery, near Erieau, landed a 213 pound sturgeon in May 1907. When dressed, the fish weighed 165 pounds.

Right - Many fishermen used seines, fishing nets with floats at the top and weights at the bottom so that the nets hang down in the water.

In the summer months the seine nets were taken out of the water, replaced in the fall and removed just prior to the lake freezing. Boats were used to set up and remove the nets. In this undated photograph, unidentified seine fishermen are shown in Cedar Creek.

The “Raskals Club” (Random Acts of Kindness) at East Mersea raised money to buy items for 22 Christmas Shoeboxes and donated items along with the staff. The Club packed them with toys, books, clothes, etc., and the Wheatley Loiness made a donation to help cover the $5 for each box to be flown to children of various ages.

WSO bringing Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Messiah to the county

By Lloyd Brown-John

LEAMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Of all the music that is routinely related to Christmas, perhaps nothing is more profound and meaningful than George Frideric Handelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Messiah.

The spiritual and emotional feeling one senses when a large choral group offers the sounds of the famous Hallelujah Chorus surely captures both the joy and the sanctity of Christmas.

As part of the Windsor Symphony Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Classics in the Countyâ&#x20AC;?, the WSO, complete with soloists and choir, is offering county residents a fulllength and spectacular Messiah.

On Saturday evening, December 8, at 7:30 p.m. at Leamington United Mennonite Church, 78 Oak St. E., the community can once more enjoy the stunning sounds of the Messiah.

This WSO performance features some exceptional musical talent, including Peter Wiebe conducting, soprano Simone McIntosh, alto Marjorie Maltais, tenor Jean-Philippe Lazure, bass Bruce Kotowich and the magnificent WSO Chorus.

Essentially the Messiah is drawn from Christian theology and thus has a universal appeal. The heart of the musical message is charity, peace, goodwill and sacrifice, which transcends all cultural, geographic and religious differences.

Tickets are still available for the WSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s December 8th performance of the Messiah. For ticket information call the Windsor Symphony box office at 519-973-1238 ext. 2 or go online to https:// bit.ly/2KBeHq5 SOUTHPOINT

Jody Raffoul releases new CD at sold-out shows

14 Mill Street East, Leamington, Ontario, N8H 1R7 519-322-2251

By Pat Bailey

LEAMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; So much talent in one room â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually, in one family. And on the weekend, the three Raffouls shared that talent with friends, family and fans in three sold-out shows at The Bank Theatre.

The event was slated to mark the release of patriarch Jody Raffoulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth CD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9 Wigle St. The CD was 10 years in the making and includes songs based on life changes, personal trials and tribulations, and most importantly, family. And on the weekend, it was definitely about family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jody and his sons Billy and Peter Raffoul.

The trio took turns onstage, with Billy kicking off the show. Dad Jody then showcased his new music, sharing stories with the crowd of the songs and their beginnings.

With his two eldest sons both living in Nashville, Tennessee, and both signed by record labels, Jody was absolutely thrilled to share the stage with them.

Both Billy and Peter were happy to be home supporting their dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Billy of returning to Leamington to support his dad.

Peter has only been away for about seven months, but he was equally thrilled to see so many friends and family.

While Peter followed his dad and his band onstage, it was the finale that featured all three Raffoul rockers that brought down the house.

For Jody, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show he will never forget, and the pride and smile on his face said it all.

Dr. Edwin Meuser honoured at 100th anniversary of School of Pharmacy in China

By Pat Bailey

LEAMINGTON – One man’s dream turned into a dream realized 100 years later by his family.

When Dr. Edwin Nelson Meuser graduated from the University of Toronto School of Pharmacy in 1909, he was posted to Chungquing Methodist Hospital in China as a pharmacist.

Following the Chinese Revolution two years later, Meuser was in charge of the pharmacy affiliated with General Hospital, Chengtu. He was the only accredited pharmacist among millions of people, according to the United Church Archives.

Meuser and his wife Edna continued their life in China while raising their four children – Margaret, Helen, Dorothy and George. But it was his research work that had a tremendous impact on hundreds of future pharmacy students and his adopted country.

The focus of his work was on the Chinese native medicinal herb ma huang.

It was this work that would change the path of many, including his own family.

Meuser was able to take the raw drug and extract the medication now known as Ephedrine. This discovery led to the sale of the patent rights to Eli Lilly Co. in Chicago. In return, the pharmaceutical company provided the funds for the construction of a modern pharmacy building at the West China Union University, Chengtu, one to be used for teaching and manufacturing.

It was this discovery and sale of the patent of the medication used primarily in nasal sprays that led Dr. Meuser to the founding of the school of pharmacy in China, now known as the Sichuan University, in 1918.

Celebrating the 100th anniversary

One hundred years later, the Chinese government celebrated the 100th anniversary of the school and the accomplishments of many because of Dr. Meuser’s foresight and generosity.

Five of his grandchildren, including Leamington’s own Patty Meuser-Kristy, were invited to China to help celebrate the man she called Grandpa.

“We were treated like royalty,” she said of her recent trip abroad, courtesy of the Chinese government.

She was joined by three of her cousins, along with her brother Dr. Jamie Meuser, who all chose to help honour their patriarch.

For Patty, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong interest in learning about her grandfather and his work in China. It was an offer she could not refuse.

Pets of the Week

SNOWWY

PIPER

Snowwy is a sweet and gentle girl, who can be a bit on the nervous/shy side. She enjoys going for walks, and enjoys food, so she’ll likely enjoy training with you (just keep some of her favourite treats handy!). Snowwy wants you to know that she does have skin allergies and will need her human to help with that long-term, but she wants us to tell you, that she’s totally worth it regardless!

Piper is a shy and sweet cat. She loves to be pet and have her head scratched. Piper has no interest in playing with any toys and prefers to stay put in one spot - although from time to time she will find herself curled up on your lap being pet!

Windsor/Essex County Humane Society 519-966-5751 windsorhumane.org

Patty Meuser-Kristy at her Leamington home after returning from a trip to China to honour her late grandfather, Edwin Nelson Meuser, founder of the School of Pharmacy at West China Union University, Chengtu, on the school’s 100th anniversary.

Her own father, the late George Meuser, was a wellknown local educator, born in China. But with the unrest in China, Patty said the four children and their mother fled the country to return to the safety of Canada.

But in Patty’s family, the Chinese connection was ever present. In fact, it was her mom Joan’s own family connection to China that led to a blind date between the couple, both students at the University of Toronto — one that began on St. Patrick’s Day and culminated in marriage just a couple of months later. So for Patty, China always played a role in her life, whether it be through stories of Grandpa Edwin, or her dad’s own tales of attending school there.

It became an obsession of sorts for the local graphic designer; she was always in search of as much information as she could find about her family history.

Many of her questions were answered when she toured China for 14 days the last week of September and first week of October.

“It was the trip of a lifetime,” she said.

Admittedly exhausting, Patty said it included climbing mountains, as well as official ceremonies and a four-day celebration honouring her grandfather.

She learned about the dramatic impact her grandfather’s work had on hundreds of others; those who studied pharmacy at the school he was responsible for, a school that began with a handful of students and developed into an institution that has seven colleges, two research institutions and 112 faculties.

“The school of pharmacy has cultivated thousands of skilled pharmacists who are today’s leaders in pharmaceutical research and industry,” one alumna said.

Dr. Meuser was an exemplary visionary,” said Paul Sun, a graduate of Dr. Meuser’s class of 1942. “The evolvement of his vision to the current status is beyond his wildest imagination!”

“He would be very humbled, proud and amazed to see that the seed he planted has grown to an immense forest,” he added.

Mi Yu Shi, his Chinese name which when pronounced is similar to Meuser, would be proud, said Patty.

Proud like his granddaughter.

She said they received many gifts from their hosts. In return, they presented gifts as well.

One special gift her family presented — a cheque for $12,300 to benefit the Edwin N. Meuser Scholarship Fund.

1956 Dodge station wagon reborn Don Pearce of Leamington is in the home stretch of rebuilding a very rare 1956 Dodge Sierra Suburban 4-door, 6-passenger station wagon. When is the last time you saw one?

Don bought it two years ago from Tilbury Auto Wreckers. They found it parked in a barn near Wheatley. He brought it home in pieces. Luckily, all the parts needed to restore it were there, suggesting a previous owner took it all apart to restore it, then never did.

The original drive line has been replaced with one from a 1980 Chrysler New Yorker. The engine is now a 318 cubic inch V8 in place of the original Super Red Ram V8 with 313 cubic inches, which Don still has.

The transmission is a 2-speed automatic with shift lever now on the floor. The original transmission was also a 2-speed automatic and operated by push buttons on the dash. Those push buttons have been replaced by a tachometer.

The rear end is also out of the 1980 New Yorker and

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

WHEATLEY – On Dec. 9 at Wheatley United Church the second Advent candle will be lit, representing “Peace.” Wheatley United will celebrate White Gift Sunday and all are invited to bring a gift wrapped in white. Your gifts on White Gift Sunday will go to the Wheatley Food Bank.

The Wheatley Ministerial Group will be sponsoring “Christmas Dinner on Jesus”, a Wheatley Christmas Community Dinner. The local community churches (Wheatley Baptist Church, Wheatley Evangel Tabernacle and Wheatley United Church) have contributed to making this a possibility through monetary donations and food donations for the event.

Richard Walker, with a team of volunteers, will prepare and serve a traditional Christmas dinner. This will take place at the Wheatley United Church and volunteers will help serve up this meal starting at 4:30 p.m. and serving until 6:30 p.m.

The Ministerial group is hoping that this event will provide families with a welcoming place for food and fellowship at Christmas time. This is the first adventure working together as a ministerial team and there is hope that this endeavor will lead to other community building opportunities for families in Wheatley and the surrounding area. Any surplus donations collected for this outreach project will go to support the Wheatley Area Food Bank.

Anyone wishing to place a poinsettia in the Wheatley United Church sanctuary in memory of a loved one is invited to do so during this Advent season. Order forms are available in the upcoming service bulletins or at the church office.

Rob Taylor Robert Allen Taylor, 52 years, passed away tragically on Thursday, November 28, 2018 in Alberta. Beloved son of Judy (Churchill) and Bob Taylor of Wheatley. Father of daughters Megan (Taylor) and Matt Scott and Jaylynn Taylor (Eric Mayor), and grandfather to Aubree and Austin Scott.

Dear brother to Cindy (Taylor) and Ken Robichaud and uncle to Amy and Shawn Robichaud of Chatham. Grandson of Marie (Collard) and Don Taylor (1982) of Wheatley and Alvin “Bus” Churchill (2004) and Helen (Levett) (1959), Merle (Will) (2010). Loved by his large family of aunts, uncles and cousins and his many friends, both in Ontario and Alberta.

Rob grew up in the Wheatley area and attended school there and in Leamington. Rob did his duty in the Canadian Navy for 3 years in western Canada. Although Rob returned to Ontario, his love of western Canada had been born. Being skilled with his hands, he learned the fine art of welding from Gil Pickle (2013) and started his own business. He started a family with wife Kim (Church) but the west was calling him.

Rob relocated himself and his business to the west coast where he grew not only his business but his base of many, many friends. Rob was a true outdoors man who loved the land and simple things in life. Hunting, fishing, working on his cabin and land, bonfires, strumming a guitar and helping a neighbour were his passions. Patty Schryver enjoyed these passions with Rob the past few years and will miss him greatly.

Rob was exactly where he wanted to be when he was suddenly taken; working on his land. He will be dearly missed.

Cremation will take place in Alberta where he will be laid to rest beside his beloved dog Kitty. A family remembrance will take place in Ontario at a later date.

The family wishes to thank everyone for the messages, support and prayers.

Staff members of Nature Fresh Farms of Leamington volunteer to prepare produce for the dicer at the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners Thursday, Nov. 22. The team of 22 workers prepared about 25,000 servings for packages of dehydrated vegetable mix to be distributed to locations around the world.

Gleaners/Nature Fresh partnership expands LEAMINGTON — A local greenhouse operation’s support of a global cause has taken yet another step forward.

Nature Fresh Farms, based on Leamington’s Mersea Rd. 7, officially added a new component to its partnership with the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners Thursday, Nov. 22. For a shift of about three hours, 22 staff members representing the local grower paid the Gleaners a visit at their Industrial Road site to process carrots, peppers and onions. The team of volunteers, hailing from Nature Fresh’s warehouse, marketing, packing, supervision and management departments, chopped up about 25,000 servings worth of vegetables for the facility’s dicing machine.

For roughly the past two years, Nature Fresh Farms have provided the local

Gleaners with raw product — about 38,700 pounds of produce per year — as well as financial contributions.

Last week’s team that was bused to 40 Industrial Rd. to cut and chop veggies was a first for the company, but will not likely be the last.

“I’d love to see us doing this again,” explained Nature Fresh warehouse manager Thina Wiens. “It was a great experience for everyone. There’s always been a partnership here and it’s wonderful to see it evolve.”

During a break from the processing line, a presentation was revealed to the group of local greenhouse workers explaining exactly what the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners do for underprivileged regions around Canada and the world.

“It was a real eye-opener,” Wiens noted. “It makes the whole thing more meaningful when you see what

it’s really all about.”

The servings prepped

by Nature Fresh employees will end up in dehydrated vegetable mix packages that are routinely shipped to impoverished regions across the globe.

For 2018, the Leamingtonbased Gleaners will have processed and sent out about four million servings of vegetables. Joel Epp, the Gleaners’ production manager, explained that support from Nature Fresh is vital in providing sustenance to those in need.

“It’s been a continued partnership where they continue to contribute to us in a very meaningful way,” Epp noted.

On Saturday, Dec. 8, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All members of the public will be welcome to tour the facility.

Loads of Thanks Loads of thanks to Thiesssen’s Orchards who donated over 2,000 apples to schools in Chatham-Kent, including Wheatley Area Public School.

Deliveries were made possible thanks to Jeff Bowman at Bowman Feed & Seed, Wheatley, who donated his U-Haul truck. The apples will be used as part of the school’s snack program.

CC Cougars double Mustangs in home opener

By Bryan Jessop

The Cardinal Carter boys hockey team has quickly learned the benefits of making an extra effort in the last minute.

The Cougars leapt out to a 2-0-0 early season record with a road win against the Lajeunesse Royals and then another victory on home ice against the Massey Mustangs. Cardinal Carter kicked off the season at Central Park Athletics in Windsor by defeating the Royals 5-4 with a tie-breaking tally in the final 20 seconds of the third Wednesday, Nov. 21.

Six days later, they broke a 2-2 deadlock with the Mustangs with about 30 seconds to go and then added an empty netter for a win at Unico Arena.

Last week’s Tuesday game at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex started on a sour note for the Cougars, as Brendan Gouin

forced a turnover and beat Adam Zylstra with a low shot to give Massey a 1-0 lead about three minutes after the opening faceoff.

Colton Ippolitti evened the score on feeds by Sam VanGellecum and Gerrin Church for a 1-1 stalemate at the first buzzer.

Neither team was able to take a lead in the second period. The Cougars took their first lead of the game just beyond the midway point of the third when Luke Tatomir fired a sharp angle wrist shot from the left side into the top shelf after benefiting from a pass by Nolan Byron. Davon Geddes evened the score for Massey with 2:17 to go, sending an ice level shot into the left side of Zylstra’s net.

The teams seemed destined to share the two points until Dylan Taylor blasted a shot from the slot through traffic to give Cardinal Carter a 3-2 advantage with 29.2 seconds showing on the clock.

Massey immediately pulled its goalie for the sixth skater starting with the following faceoff, but Tatomir struck again with an empty netter less than six seconds later.

“We were pretty evenly matched,” said Cougars head coach Ryan Coristine, who is returning behind the bench along with Ted Wigfield. “We’ve only got two returning seniors, but that means having lots of time to work with the others over the next few years. Some of the kids that are filling in are pretty competitive. They’re holding their own and they like playing against the older kids.”

Cardinal Carter’s next match in a five-game home ice stand will be played Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 3 p.m. against Lajeunesse. They will face their rival Leamington Lions for their next two games — Wednesday, Dec. 12 and Tuesday, Dec. 18, both starting at 3 p.m.

Four generations of Peppers involved in hockey Jean Pepper, known as Mrs. Pep to anyone who spent time at the old Leamington Arena, was at the Highbury Canco rink on Friday, November 23 watching her great-grandson play in the Capitals Cup Tournament. The Pepper family had four generations represented, from left to right are Jean’s son Bryon Pepper, great-grandson Calan Pepper, Jean, and grandson Chris Pepper. If Mrs. Pep looks familiar to you, that’s because she worked at the canteen at Leamington Arena for 26 years and retired when the “new” arena was built in 1985. Mrs. Pep also served as a billet and board member for the Leamington Flyers for 40 years. At 88, she still enjoys watching a local game of hockey.

LDSS boys hockey team drops opener vs. Rebels

By Bryan Jessop

It wasn’t the start they were hoping for, but the Lions’ boys hockey team is showing signs of promise in the early stages of 2018-’19.

The Leamington District Secondary School squad fell 5-1 to the Riverside Rebels in their season and home opener at Highbury Canco Arena Wednesday, Nov. 28 despite generating their fair share of scoring chances. The guests opened the scoring near the midway mark of the first when Alex White beat Cam Newman with a wrist shot just as an LDSS penalty expired. A Mason Cabral shot early in the game was swept out of the crease by a Riverside defender just before the puck crossed the goal line and a Kaleb Tiessen shot rung off the post in the opening 15 minutes.

On a Leamington defensive miscue with the puck sliding towards the home team’s net, Aidan Afonso tapped the puck over the goal line for a 2-0 Riverside “We’ve got to lead early in the second. Brennan Pulley brought the generate some offense Lions to within a goal after taking hold of a rebound and find goals in difand firing a wrist shot past William McIntyre. The ferent ways.”

Rebels however responded with a pair by Mathhew — Butch Rickeard Madej — first on the power play and then while short handed — to give the visitors a 4-1 lead going into the third frame.

Leamington continued to struggle making the most of its scoring chances in the final stanza, where Jack Chauvin added to the Riverside lead in the latter stages of the game with a man advantage marker.

“We’ve got to generate some offense and find goals in different ways,” said Butch Rickeard, who along with Tony Nurse, is returning behind the LDSS bench as coach. “We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities. We gave up two power play goals and allowed them to

score shorthanded — it’s hard to win like that.”

The likes of Drew Keith, Nick Heyens, Tanner Granger, Brady Bunda, Jaxyn Lefeber, Cam Impens, Pulley, Alex Stewart and Andrew Verhaeghe are returning players to the LDSS lineup from 2017-’18.

Leamington’s next game will be at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 3 p.m. against the Massey Mustangs. One week later, they’ll face their rivals from Cardinal Carter, also starting at 3 p.m.

A win and two losses for Novice Red Southpoint Community Trophies Novice Red played Kingsville Green mid-week and were soundly beaten.

Southpoint made many defensive errors that Kingsville capitalized on. The Southpoint back-checking was almost non-existent. They did manage to score a goal in the game.

Sean Amaral scored and assists went to Jackson Weil and Connor Rumble-Anastacio.

The next game for Southpoint Community Trophies was Saturday, Dec. 1 against Essex Yellow. Southpoint came out strong and it paid off. Their first goal was awarded to Reid Charles on a scramble in front of the Essex net.

The second goal came on a shot from the hash marks by

Sean Amaral. Assists went to Jackson and Landon Carlini.

Essex scored late in the first to close out the period.

Connor scored in the second when he picked up the puck from the Essex blueline, skated it in and put it past the keeper. He was assisted by Nolan Garnet. Connor scored a second time on an end-to-end rush.

In the third, Landon carried the puck out to centre and pushed it ahead to Gavin Butineillo. Gavin took the puck in, made a beautiful move on the goalie and slipped the puck into the corner of the net. The game ended 5-1 for Southpoint.

Novice Red’s final game was against Harrow. Although

Red lost this game, it was their best of the week. The forwards positional play was better. The forwards were more aggressive in Harrow’s end. The defense started using the boards to move the puck up to wingers to break it out of the Southpoint end. Carter Kretschmann fired the puck around the boards four times to Jackson Weil, who moved it efficiently out and down the ice.

In this game, Connor scored two more goals. Those assisting were Gavin, Landon, Reid and Sean. The Community Trophy team lost 4-2.

During the three games, Ty Gould made some exceptional saves in the Southpoint net.

Flyers edge Kings

Twenty minutes of defensive dominance followed by 40 minutes of offensive chaos proved just enough for the Leamington Flyers to snatch two points away from the visiting Komoka Kings.

The Flyers bounced back from two one-goal deficits to post a 6-4 victory on home ice Thursday, Nov. 29, extending their winning streak to five games. The win came despite some miscues and errant passes over the last 40 minutes.

“I was happy with the first period, but we started getting complacent after that,” noted Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “That’s something we can’t do.”

“We got sloppy after the first period, but we worked well down low and managed to put the puck in the net,” added rookie forward Wyatt O’Neil after a two point performance.

“We’ve just got to move forward from here and get better with every game.”

Leamington dominated virtually the entire first period, on Welch goal, Ben Maidment gave Komoka a but had to settle for a scoreless draw at the 20 minute mark. 4-3 lead that stood until Johnny Ulicny snapped Owen Say was tested with 12 shots at the Kings’ end of the a loose puck in the crease into the back of Say’s rink while Ryan Polidori was considerably less occupied by net.

Kings slip by Sharks

Sharks goalie Catalin Morin makes a breakaway save against Dresden’s Brendan Ritchie during the first period of a Stobbs Division game at Wheatley Area Arena Wednesday, Nov. 28.

Off to a slow start, the Sharks trailed for most of the game and lost 3-1 following an empty netter.

By Bryan Jessop

Fans offered plenty of support to a first-of-it’s kind Movember fundraiser for the Wheatley Omstead Sharks, but on the ice, the Dresden Kings’ defense was far less generous.

The Sharks dropped a 3-1 decision against the Stobbs Division leading Kings Wednesday, Nov. 28, once again bringing their record to an even .500 (11-11-0-1).

Wheatley’s forward lines struggled to create scoring chances in the first frame, managing only five shots on goal. T.J. Saunby of the Kings made the only addition to the scoresheet of the opening 20 minutes, beating Catalin Morin to the bottom left corner during a rush from the net’s left side.

Lucas Spence put the Kings up 2-0 28 seconds into the middle stanza, taking advantage of a power play opportunity that began late in the first. Wheatley’s points leader Braedon Caetano brought the Sharks back to within a goal exactly six minutes later. Taking a pass from the other side of the crease from Brayden Zuidema, Caetano one-timed the puck into the left side of Brandon Allen’s goal. Evan Prince was credited with the second assist.

Zuidema, a 16-year-old Leamington resident playing for the Erie North Shore Storm, has played five games as an AP in place of injured or suspended forwards since October 16.

Veteran forward Alixe Saliba was still tending to an injury that sidelined him for the Dresden game, but is expected to return to the lineup soon.

The third period was the Sharks’ best on offense, although the hosts couldn’t beat Allen for a second goal to force overtime. One shot through traffic in the fi“We can’t play nal minute struck the left 30 minutes against post of the Kings’ net, but one of the top teams bounced straight back out in the league and through the crease.

The Sharks were outshot 38-29 and were zero for four on the man advantage while Dresden was one for four.

“We can’t play 30 minutes against one of the top teams in the league and expect to get a win out of it,” said Wheatley’s head coach Josh Carnevale. “That first period cost us the game.”

The November 28 game served as a Movember prostate cancer fundraiser for the Sharks, who wore special jerseys to mark the occasion.

Dylan Stockton is an avid curler at Sun Parlour Curling Club. He enjoys curling with people of all ages as well as helping with the SPCC junior program.

A family that plays together LEAMINGTON – Dylan Stockton and his parents Diane and Brian have found a perfect way to spend quality time together. They curl together in Friday Fun League and separately on Monday and Tuesday at the Sun Parlour Curling Club (SPCC) in Leamington.

Dylan’s parents started curling at the Sun Parlour Curling Club this year, while Dylan has a year’s start on them. In that brief time, Dylan has developed some formidable curling skills – and he is only in Grade 7.

Dylan attends Cardinal Carter school in Leamington, but he got the curling bug while a student at St. John de Brebeuf Catholic Elementary School in Kingsville where he saw a “try curling” flyer.

Dylan loves curling and watches it on TV, or preferably attends live competitions as much as possible. That is his ultimate. Helping with the Sun Parlour Curling Club junior program on Sundays runs a close second.

“I think the best part is demonstrating all the different skills in a game of curling,” said Dylan. “I really like to get on the ice and show new young curlers how to do it.”

When asked what is the toughest part of curling, he said, “Strategy and then draw weight... for sure”.

Dylan would like to curl at anytime with anyone, including adults. His immediate goals are to improve to the point of being a confident skip and finding two more young curlers to put together a competitive team.

If enthusiasm has any influence on achieving this, Dylan is well on his way.

Stars weekend results The Southpoint Atom Stars welcomed the Lakeshore Lightning to the Unico Rink on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 2. For two periods this game was scoreless and a very evenly matched contest. However, in the third period the flood gates opened as five goals were scored and the great thing about this is Southpoint scored three of them en route to a 3-2 win. Ava Carreiro powered the Stars’ offence scoring two goals, with Alexis Lamb chipping in a single. Assists were by Arabella Pannunzio, Chloe Taylor and Gloria Bedard. Gracie Copia made several key saves throughout this game to preserve the lead for the Stars.

The Southpoint Bantam Stars played host to the Tecumseh Tiger Cats on Sunday evening, Dec. 2, at the Unico Rink. The Tiger Cats scored three unanswered goals to defeat the Stars by a score of 3-0.

The Southpoint Leamington Kinsmen Intermediate Stars battled the Lakeshore Lightning in exhibition play on Sunday evening, Dec. 2. The Kinsmen Stars came ready to play in this exciting contest, scoring a single goal in each period en route to a dominant 3-0 win.

Kayla “Clutch” Collison led the offence, scoring two goals, while Paige Thompson netted the other goal. Assists went to Jaryn Harris and Kelsey Babkirk. Sam “the Grinch” Hartleib stole every puck sent her way and did not leave any rebound gifts lying around as she recorded yet another big shutout.

We three Kings Finding a multi-part gift is often a case of easier said than done.

For the past few months, I’ve been scrambling from store to store to complete a collection of the Hot Wheels chess cars (known as the “Checkmate” series) while my wife creates a foldable custom chess board with felt and a hot glue gun. With any luck, it’ll be ready by Christmas for our seven-year-old son.

In my opinion, the coolest piece in the set is the king — a first generation Plymouth Barracuda fastback (a ’67, I think). While recently taking inventory of the cars I’ve found and cars I need, I started to wonder why no organized sports teams have ever dubbed themselves “The Rooks.” It’s a cool word and it’s an important piece on the chessboard that can wreak havoc on its opposition. Sure, the king is the crucial piece to protect (the game’s over upon his capture), but with limited

mobility, he’s far from lethal.

Such musings were also triggered by last week’s round of junior hockey coverage. I’ve always had to be particularly mindful of which stories and photos to place in which folders on my computer’s desktop when the Leamington Flyers and Wheatley Sharks play against Komoka and Dresden in the same week, respectively. Both folder names will contain the word “Kings,” so a cursory glance could potentially lead to the Sharks story ending up in the Flyers folder or vice versa. Nowadays, there’s also Kingsville’s Tier II Junior A game photos tossed into the mix.

So over a five-day period last week, I covered three Kings’ games. I apologize in advance for the week when my Flyers story contains Kingsville photos and my Sharks story accompanies Flyers photos.

JESSOP’S JOURNAL Bryan Jessop In Kingsville’s case, I understand. It sounds kind of cool when the town’s (or school’s) name is the inspiration behind the team’s name — like the St. Clair Saints.

The fictional “Dog River River Dogs” from Corner Gas was a bit over the top, but you get the point.

The need for a bit more creativity in team monikers also crossed my mind a couple weeks ago during the Capitals Cup Challenge.

Both Woolwich and Whitby minor hockey associations utilize the name “Wildcats.”

It’s got to be the most ‘blah’ name in all of team sports.

Sure, everybody loves alliteration, but why not the Wings, Warriors, Wizards or Warlocks? In the files of uninspiring team names, Wildcats ranks right up there with Bulldogs and Hawks.

Why are there so many teams that go by “Bulldogs” anyway (Ontario’s old Junior D hockey league had two teams that went by that name)? Among dog breeds, the modern English Bulldog ranks amid the slowest and least athletic of them all. They experience breathing difficulty after extended periods of physical exertion and can’t tolerate excessive heat or cold.

The former Great Lakes Junior C league (now the PJHL’s Stobbs Division) once had two teams that went by the name “Hawks” — Tilbury and Walpole Island. It must have been the biggest sports reporter headache since the days of the Saskatchewan and Ottawa Roughriders.

Now that Seattle has virtually been guaranteed the NHL’s 32nd franchise, I hope they exercise a bit of creativity in branding the team. At the very least, they should be mindful of the fact that they’ll be in the same conference as Los Angeles.

Southpoint Atom Minors win gold The Southpoint Grossi Construction Atom Minor hockey team travelled to Detroit, Michigan, to play in the Nations Cup Tournament Canada vs. USA from Friday, November 23 until Sunday, November 25.

The Capitals faced off against five American teams. The first rival was Indiana’s Fort Wayne Force and the Caps fought hard for their 2-1 win.

Next, the Capitals took on the Oakland Grizzlies. This was a fast-paced game which ended in a 5-2 victory for the Capitals.

The next opponent was the Plymouth Stingrays where the

Caps shut out the Stingrays 13-0.

Game 4 saw the Belle Tire Devils come at the Capitals with all their might; however, it was no match as the Caps finished with an 8-2 triumph.

Sunday morning’s final game against the Macomb Mavericks was a hard-fought game resulting in a 3-3 tie; however, it was enough for the Capitals to win gold in the Nations Cup. The Capitals are undefeated in tournament action this season and the coaches are very proud of the team’s hard work and effort. From offence to defence to goaltending, the Capitals are proving that teamwork and perseverance pay off.

Kingsville Novice Green wins two A well-rested Kingsville Novice Green team was back in action Wednesday night, Nov. 28, against Southpoint Red following a rare bye weekend.

The Green Machine came out strong, opening the scoring early and did not look back, picking up the win as defence held the Red squad at bay. Corbin Azzopardi, Rocco Baillargeon, Mackenna Michalski and William Loncke managed the ice well on the backend in their Olympic ice debut.

Green hit the road on Saturday, travelling to Essex in a highly anticipated match-up against the Orange team.

Orange got out to an early lead after a first period Essex shot snuck behind Sam Ward.

The teams traded opportunities in a wide-open contest with Jasper Dunford managing to light the lamp at the tail end of the second frame to tie things up heading into the third period.

Inspirational words from the coaching staff during the intermission fired up the Green Machine and Colby Snoei broke the tie burying the ‘GWG’ on a feed from Jasper Dunford. Jace Pepper fired home the insurance marker helped by Dunford and Michalski for a 3-1 victory.

Ward finished the week allowing only two goals against to remain unbeaten.

Southpoint Sun - B-15

Back to back wins for Novice Major A Capitals The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals are tournament champions for the second consecutive weekend. This past weekend, Southpoint participated in the Belle River Randy Merten/Dan Holland Memorial Tournament with games in Windsor and Belle River.

Southpoint 2 – Kincardine 2 On Friday morning the first opponent for the Capitals were the Kincardine Kinucks. Down a few players due to illness Southpoint still came out determined to continue on their winning ways. In the second frame AJ Youssef took the puck from behind the net and tried to jam it in the side to no avail. Brayden Foster found the rebound though and banged it home. Youssef stole the puck off the stick of the rushing Kinuck and roofed Southpoint’s second with 4:53 to go. Kincardine scored on a power play with 2:27 to go. Then, with their goalie pulled, the Kinucks

shot on net. Karly Franklin made the initial save but they swarmed and shoved in the rebound with 17.3 seconds remaining resulting in a 2-2 tie.

Southpoint 0 – St. Thomas 0 Later that afternoon the Caps faced the St Thomas Junior Stars. This was a very entertaining contest from start to finish with both teams having great scoring chances but neither Christian Papp, in net for Southpoint, or their goalie would allow a goal, resulting in a 0-0 tie.

Southpoint 7 – Burlington 2 On Saturday morning, three minutes into the game Jonathan Recker flipped a nice pass to the front of the net for Zack Bradley who got off a nice shot. Sloan Smith pounced on the rebound, flipping it over a sprawled goalie. A minute later Kayden Cook got the puck at the blue line from Charlie Ketler and skated in and unleashed a rocket

on the blocker side. In the middle frame, Brody Brown took a shot from the high slot and Bradley tipped it in to increase the lead. Thirty seconds later Jonathan Recker skated in and while trying to pass out front, had his attempt tipped in by their defenseman. Brody Brown added another goal.

Thirty seconds into the third period the Cougars scored their second. Then, Ben Liebrock skated the puck into Burlington’s end and made a nice pass to Tyler Thomas in the slot. Thomas’s shot hit the goalie in the mask but Brayden Foster was right there to bang in the rebound.

Finally, Owen Derksen kept the puck in at the line to Recker who smartly shot on net. Kayden Cook knocked in the rebound from the ensuing scrum resulting in a 7-2 victory.

Southpoint 6 – Mitchell 2 On Saturday night the Caps faced the Mitchell Meteors knowing they needed valuable period points as

Great effort by Mite Canadiens As they have done in their first few games, the Southpoint Mite Canadiens did the best they could to get to pucks and stop opposing players. Everyone contributed.

Mason Reid was everywhere, stealing the puck, scoring goals and even dropping in front of shots.

Evan Williams and Alexander Rutgers went on the attack on numerous occasions.

Ethan Prior played in his first game and got involved in the play in both ends of the rink.

Because the Canadiens were short benched, players Kylie Klassen, Serenity Hutchingame-Lumley, Ryan Hutchingame-Lumley and Clayton Biekx were playing two and three shifts in a row and were kept busy going after the puck.

The Southpoint Novice Major A Capitals claimed the tournament crown at the Belle River Randy Merten/Dan Holland Memorial Tournament on the weekend.

well as the win to move on.

Mitchell scored two quick ones. AJ Youssef cleared the zone to Jonathan Recker who skated in and shot a bullet in glove side. Recker won a face off to Brayden Foster who wired his shot in short side. Four minutes into the second period Jonathan Recker lifted one high over the goalie’s blocker.

Mitchell scored while the teams were 4 on 4 to inch closer but that was all she wrote. Owen Derksen went end-to-end to go up by two.

Kayde Grossi rushed the puck up ice, drawing the defenseman to him then slid the perfect pass to Brayden Foster who scored. With two minutes remaining and Mitchell’s goalie pulled for the extra attacker, Tyler Thomas hit the open net resulting in a 6-2 win. This allowed Southpoint to finish

second in pool play setting up a Sunday morning semi final with the Riverside Rangers.

Southpoint 3 - Riverside 0 Three minutes into the middle frame Kayde Grossi skated end-to-end firing his shot over the goalie’s shoulder to give the Caps the lead. Four minutes into the third Brody Brown found the puck in a mass of players out front and lifted it over the goalie for a 2-0 lead. Riverside pulled their goalie and after the puck was cleared from their zone, Kayden Cook picked it up and skated it down the ice, sliding it into the open net with 2:23 to play. Karly Franklin earned the shutout and a place in the finals.

Southpoint 2 – Essex 1 Kayde Grossi grabbed

the puck and skated endto-end, and powered his shot over the Essex Raven’s goalie’s shoulder to put the Caps on the board. Early in the final frame, Grossi kept the puck in at the line and fired on net. Zack Bradley swept the rebound around the goalie and into an open net to increase the Capitals lead to 2-0. Southpoint took a penalty with 2:49 left then another with 2:18 remaining. So Essex pulled their goalie resulting in a 6-on-3 advantage and were able to score with just under a minute to go. Through sheer will Southpoint was able to continually clear the puck out of their zone to claim a 2-1 victory. Christian Papp saved his best game for last making numerous saves throughout this contest to help his team to the win.

Essex Ravens Atom AE shows well in tournament play The Essex Ravens Atom AE hockey team followed up their Capital Cup win in Leamington with another successful week.

After losing to the LaSalle Sabres in a midweek affair, the Ravens rattled off four victories in the Randy Merton and Dan Holland Memorial Tournament played in Belle River before succumbing to their arch rivals from Erie North Shore in the semi-finals by a 4-0 score.

On Wed. Nov. 28 the gang lost a hard fought 4-3 game to the LaSalle Sabres. The team played hard from wire to wire but couldn’t find the equalizer. Goal scorers were Ryan Reid, Austin Hamilton and Nicholas Brophey. Nicholas also had an assist Friday morning, Nov. 30, was the opening of the Belle River tournament against a team from the hockey hotbed known as Woolwich. The Ravens opened up a three-goal lead in the first period and held off a late surge by the Wildcats to earn a 4-2 victory. Mason Dault led the Ravens with a pair. Singles were added by Ty Patterson and Caiden St. John. Helpers were earned by Nicholas Brophey (2), Ellis Fleming, Mathieu Jakovcic, Austin Hamilton and Ryan Reid. Ty Patterson had an assist to go along with his single tally. Alexandrea Huntley was between the pipes.

Continuing round robin play found the Ravens taking on the Rangers from Glanbrook. This match was a high scoring affair with the Ravens coming out on top 6-4. Scoring for Essex was Caiden St. John with the hat trick, with singles added by Mathieu Jakovcic, Ryan Reid and Mason Dault. Assists were earned

by James Sonoski, Kegan Zimmermann and Nicholas Brophey.

Goaltending chores were split between Nathan Lozon and Huntley Day one found the team sitting in second place behind Belle River in their division of six teams. Day two’s games were vital to win, even though the team had no losses Saturday morning, Dec. 2, the combatants were the Cincinnati Swords. A solid performance was given by all and they were rewarded with a 4-1 victory. Scoring goals were Ryan Reid with a pair and Austin Hamilton and Caiden St. John with singles.

Lozon played well in the victory.

Late Saturday night a victory was needed to obtain a spot in the semi-finals. The Ravens made it known quite early in the game that they wanted in the championship round Sunday by scoring two in the first period. They added one in the second and

fired in two more tallies in the third to earn that coveted spot in the semi-finals. Mason Dault and Caiden St. John both had a pair of goals, with a single going to Ty Patterson. Ryan Reid had two assists, with Brophey, Hamilton and St. John adding one. The shutout was split between Huntley and Lozon.

Saturday’s victories earned the Ravens first place in their bracket. The opposition for Sunday would come from the other division of six teams. By luck of the draw, the Erie North Shore boys were in second place and awaiting Essex for Sunday’s semi-final.

The Ravens fought hard and played that way to the final buzzer, but the outcome wasn’t indicative of their efforts. Erie North Shore played flawless hockey and earned their spot in the finals with a 4-0 win over the Ravens and a berth in the finals versus the home team from Belle River.

Each and everyone on the team is to be commended on their excellent work ethic and applauded for the successes of this season to date. Keep up the hard work and learn what the coaches teach you and the season will continue to be fun and successful.

Go Ravens.

Holiday Recipes ’Tis the season to teach kids about giving (NC) When it comes to the holidays, children can be forgiven for seeing themselves as the main recipients of gifts and cheer. They usually are.

But experts warn that showering children with gifts could be robbing them of real happiness – especially if they never learn the joy of giving.

Researchers publishing in Harvard’s Journal of Happiness found that people valued gifts they gave to others even more than those they received themselves. Giving to friends or charity can be more rewarding than opening another toy.

Since giving is learned behaviour, parents and friends can help children embrace the joy it brings.

Here are five ways to go about it: Talk to your kids about how much fun it is to give, and the deep-down satisfaction of making someone happy. Tell them that experience is too wonderful to keep to yourself.

Brainstorm with children about little things to give. Describe the joy an uncle or crossing guard might feel in receiving a specially chosen chocolate bar. A teacher might love a batch of freshly made cookies to enjoy with his or her coffee.

Visit a local retirement home or help at your local food bank. A neighbour’s walkway, shovelled in surprise, can make a wonderful gift. Tie a note to the shovel wishing them a Merry Christmas.

Give to a child in need who may not receive anything else this season.

Reflect and revel in what a difference you’ve made for the person receiving the gift. Help them imagine the teacher digging into a cookie with their coffee, or a neighbour discovering the shoveled walk. Breathe a sigh of joy together.

Mallory’s Cranberry Brie Appetizer

INGREDIENTS 1-8 oz tube Pillsbury crescent rolls 1-8 oz wheel brie cheese 1 cup whole cranberry sauce Fresh rosemary sprigs DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease mini muffin tins with butter or cooking spray. Roll out the crescent dough and squish the seams together so you have one large seamless rectangle. Cut the dough into 24 equalsized squares. Place squares into the mini muffin tin holes. Cut brie into 24 small pieces and place a piece of brie inside each crescent dough square.

Enjoy!

Allison’s Éclair Cake This Éclair Cake is super simple to make. It’s a great dessert that isn’t too sweet and is always a hit a parties and get-togethers. It does need to be refrigerated overnight, so plan accordingly.

INGREDIENTS 2 - 3.4 oz (136 g) packages of Vanilla Instant Pudding 3 1/2 cups milk 500 mL Cool Whip 1 - 14.4 oz (400 g) package graham crackers Icing 6 tbsp butter 6 tbsp milk 6 tbsp cocoa 1 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS Blend milk with vanilla pudding packages for about 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip. In a 9 x 13 pan, layer enough graham crackers to cover the bottom.

You may need to cut some crackers to make them fit nicely. Pour half of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture on top and level it. Put another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture. Again, cut crackers to fit if necessary. Pour the second half of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture on top and level it. Put on a final layer of graham crackers on top with the bumpy side down. This will make for a smoother finish. Once again, cut and shape crackers if necessary to avoid pits and cracks in top layer.

Make the icing: microwave the butter and milk just enough so that they are melted together. You don’t need to boil it. Add cocoa and powdered sugar and blend together. This will be a runny icing/glaze. Pour over top of the final layer of graham crackers and smooth out nicely.

Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Silent Night

Away in a manger Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!

While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

Hark! the Harold Angels Sing Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

Hark! the herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one.

Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail! the heav’n born Prince of peace!

Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

In a one-horse open sleigh

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold!

Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven’s all gracious King!

The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing.

And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

Yet with te woes of sin and strife The world hath suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The love song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, Shall come the Age of Gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot We got into a drifted bank, And then we got upsot.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Joy to the World Joy to The world! the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let ev’ry heart prepare him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonder wonders of His love

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love O morning stars together

Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ, the Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

The First Noel The First Noel, the Angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

And by the light of that same star Three Wise men came from country far To seek for a King was their intent And to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the northwest O’er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both Pause and stay Right o’er the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

Then entered in those Wise men three Full reverently upon their knee And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made Heaven and earth of nought And with his blood mankind has bought.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel!

The origins of some beloved holiday traditions

Holiday Recipes

Oma Woelk’s Pizza Casserole Submitted by Melissa Hopper. Courtesy of Frieda Woelk.

This is a favourite dish of many of her grandchildren.

Christmas stockings The Christmas stockings of today may be a byproduct of various traditions.

One such tradition dates back to a Dutch custom in which children would leave shoes full of food to feed St. Nicholas’ donkeys, and then St. Nicholas would leave small gifts in return.

Another origin story of Christmas stockings can be traced to the 12th century, when nuns would leave socks full of nuts, fruit and tangerines for the poor. This is why some people still put tangerines in Christmas stockings.

Christmas tree Christmas trees are everywhere this time of year. The use of evergreen trees predates Christmas and is associated with the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which celebrated the agricultural god Saturn with partying and gift-giving.

During the winter solstice, green branches served as a reminder that spring would arrive anew. Germans are credited with first bringing evergreens into their homes and decorating them.

Santa Claus Santa Claus’ origin story can be traced to St. Nicholas, a Christian bishop who lived during the fourth century. St. Nicholas was very generous and gave away his fortune to help the needy. He also did various other good deeds. St. Nicholas became infamous and began to be known by various names around the world. The Dutch called him Sinter Klaas, which was eventually transformed to Santa Claus. The jolly persona came later when 20th century advertisers — especially the artists responsible for Coca-Cola ads — portrayed Santa in a red suit with a big smile.

Mistletoe Mistletoe is hung in doorways, and couples who stand beneath are encouraged to share a kiss. The tradition of hanging it in the house goes back to the times of the ancient Druids. Mistletoe was thought to bring good luck to a household and ward off evil spirits. The custom of kissing under mistletoe can be traced to England. Originally, a berry was picked from the sprig of mistletoe before the person could be kissed. When all the berries had gone, there could be no more kissing.

Christmas bells Church bells ring for many special services, including Christmas mass.

During Christmas midnight mass in the Catholic Church, the altar bells may be rung while the priest says the “Gloria.” Bells are part of caroling, and jingling bells are associated with sleighs and Santa’s reindeer.

2lbs ground lean beef 1/2 lb thinly sliced pepperoni 1 chopped green pepper 1 chopped large onion 2 cups elbow macaroni

DIRECTIONS Brown and drain hamburger. Cook macaroni 10 minutes, drain. Combine all other ingredients except cheese. Mix well and put into large casserole dish. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly.

Erin’s Chicken Broccoli 3 chicken breast 1 bunch broccoli 4 slices cheese

1 can cream of celery soup 1 box of stove top chicken stuffing

DIRECTIONS Cut chicken into bite size pieces and cook on top of stove until cooked through. Set aside. Cook broccoli until tender. Cook stuffing according to instructions on package. Spray an 8x8 (2 quart) oven proof dish with a nonstick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer ingredients as follows: broccoli goes first, lay cheese slices on top of broccoli, spread chicken soup (not cooked) over cheese, chicken goes next, top with stuffing. Put casserole in preheated oven and cook for one hour. To keep stuffing from getting too crispy, cover with tin foil.
