When Marian Farkas’ water broke the morning of January 2 she had just one thing on her mind. She was ready to meet the final addition to her family — son number three.

It wasn’t even until her labour began at Erie Shores HealthCare that the thought of welcoming the county hospital’s New Year’s baby even crossed her mind, especially after her labour continued late into the night and on into the morning of January 3.

Marian and her husband Annina were ready to welcome their little boy, but he didn’t seem to be too cooperative in joining brothers Alexandru, 3, and Sebastian, 18 months.

By 8 a.m. the decision was made to perform a C-section and a short while later, Daniel Antonio arrived to complete Leamington’s Farkas family.

A tiny little guy at 6 pounds, 5¼ ounces, Daniel has already set himself apart from his older brothers.

Daniel sports a full head of shiny Marian and Annina Farkas are the proud parents of Erie Shores Healthcare’s New Year’s baby. The black hair and has cutest little Leamington couple welcomed Daniel Antonio, 6 lbs the 5 1/4 oz, on January 3 at 8 a.m. dimple on his right

(Southpoint Sun Photo) cheek. Both of his brothers tipped the scales at well over 8 pounds and arrived quite naturally about 10 days late. Daniel arrived when the doctor predicted, but made his entrance a little more difficult on his mom.

With three sons now, age three years and under, Marian said she knows her days are only going to become busier. She said Alexandru and Sebastian had yet to meet their new brother by Friday, but she expected the brotherly bond to be strong. That, she said, is one advantage of having three children all of the same sex.

Another advantage, she offered, was the use of hand-me-downs.

But with Daniel weighing in at more than two pounds less than his brothers, Marian said she is hoping to get a little more use out of her newborn-size clothes this time around. Her other youngsters, she said, barely made it a week before busting out of their first sleepers.

While the delivery was a little rougher this time around, Marian said she appreciates how truly blessed she was with all three pregnancies.

And while Annina adjusts to cradling his more fragile but beautiful latest addition, Marian is just thankful to welcome Daniel to the family.

WHEATLEY - The Wheatley Lions Club celebrated 70 years of service this year. The club was chartered in December of 1948.

At the Lions Club meeting in December, held at the Car Barn, District Governor Mary Mahovlich was on hand to present a certificate from the Multiple District congratulating the Wheatley group on achieving 70 years as a Lions Club.

Mahovlich also bestowed a great honor on Past District Governor George Vary when she presented him with a Melvin Jones Fellowship from the District. Melvin Jones was the founder of Lions Clubs. This is the highest recognition you can receive at the District level.

Immediate Past District Governor Joyce Mahovlich also made a couple of presentations at the meeting.

The first one was to Past President Bob Springthorpe for the Club Excellence Award. This is the second year in a row for this award. He also received a special President’s Pin for his role in this achievement.

PDG Joyce then called upon the club treasurer, Lion Wayne Wright, who was presented with a Certificate of Achievement for being a 100% Treasurer for several years.

He also received a 100% Treasurer’s Pin. The Wheatley Lions Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their support for the past 70 years and members hope to be able to continue to serve others for many years to come.

Local author to host book signing at Art Gallery

By Bryan Jessop

A Leamington woman’s past struggles with abuse, depression, fear and lies have been overcome with her faith in God and by filling the pages of a published story.

Darlene Martens will pay a visit to the Leamington Arts Centre Sunday, Feb. 10 for the official launch and signing of her book Amazing Grace, Abounding Love – A Memoir of Freedom From Depression, Lies and Abuse. The event will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. as a meet and greet open to the general public.

Martens began writing the book in December of 2014 and completed it in March of 2018 as a seasonal project from which she took breaks during the busier summer months.

Her decision to write her personal story about being sexually abused by her father was triggered by a church visit mentioned within its final pages. There, the pastor paused for a moment to look at the congregation and declare to all in attendance that each of them had a story to which they had to respond.

“I felt like it was God talking to me,” Martens explained.

“At that moment I knew it was about what God had done for me and His love of mankind. I wrote it to reflect who He is.”

Amazing Grace, Abounding Love was published by Word Alive Press, which awarded Martens as the winner of the 2018 Free Publishing Contest for non fiction. She dedicated the book to her husband Jake Martens, her children, grandchildren, pastors Henry and Hildi Regier of Meadow-

Darlene Martens

brook Church and her deceased brother David and his wife Doreen. Martens also offered thanks to all who prayed for her and offered encouragement during the most emotionally difficult parts of writing the book.

The 304-page book is currently available at $19.99 per copy and is available at Chapters/Indigo stores, Amazon, through Word Alive Press and at various Christian book retailers. It is also available as an e-book through Amazon’s Kindle Store, Apple iBooks, Kobo, Google Play and Scribd.

The publication has already left an impact on readers, business professionals and fellow writers including Leamington’s Todd Stahl, author of 40 Days In The Man Cave.

“I went into this thinking ‘if only one book is sold to someone and it strengthens their faith and helps them understand more about Jesus Christ, it would be worth it,” Martens said. “If it helps more, that’s a bonus.”

Amazing Grace, Abounding Love became available on the shelves of Chapters/Indigo branches and through Amazon in early December of 2018, at which point Martens received copies of her own to share with family members and friends.

“What I’ve heard from people has been very encouraging,” she explained. “I’ve heard some say they couldn’t put it down. There have been a lot of affirmations from other people.”

As a clinical social worker/therapist, Martens is well versed in assisting others struggling with depression and trauma. She earned a Masters of Social Work Degree from the University of Windsor and was a guest speaker at the Women of Influence Conference dubbed ‘Overcoming and Victorious’ in April of 2015 in Windsor. She has since been called upon to attend three other speaking engagements, including one north of Toronto and two local events.

In addition to abuse, Martens also had to deal with the discovery that the woman who raised her as her mother was actually her aunt and that her biological mother was actually a woman she was told was her aunt. At the same time, those whom she was told were her cousins were actually brothers and half brothers while those whom she was told were siblings were actually half siblings. After DNA testing, she finally met her biological brother David, who died less than a year later.

“It all became very convoluted,” Martens explained. “At first, I wasn’t sure if anyone would want to read about my crazy life. The biggest things I had to work at were the question of forgiveness and the pit of depression. Writing the book solidified the fact that I had to let it go and that I can’t be held prisoner by the bitterness inside me.”

“Charging” ahead for 2019 Chances are, it won’t take you long to realize that the nature of this column has changed significantly on three fronts — frequency, subject matter and location.

Much like the time that ticks away within a radio broadcast, the surface area of a news publication’s pages is a valuable thing. To make the most of that space, Jessop’s Journal (and other columns provided by Sun staff) will appear on a rotational basis.

Additionally, topics have shifted from organized sports to general news and life (which isn’t to say that my rants of choice will NEVER gravitate back to sports). The newspaper industry is not unlike others — evolve or suffer the consequences. To be honest, it was challenging at times to come up with new ‘sports only’ topics every week anyway.

You probably noticed a certain degree of repetition such as the ongoing saga about what to do with the financial train wreck that is the Arizona Coyotes.

The topic of change itself was one that seemed to lie in wait around every corner during the past holiday season. While attending an extended family Christmas party on my wife’s side, I was snapping a few photos with my ‘trusty’ Nikon D5000. When it came my son’s turn to open his presents from his great-grandmother, it suddenly went kaput, freshly charged battery and all. Ever try to find a good deal on a used replacement DSLR camera when you’re the biggest cheapskate in all of Essex-Kent? Easier said than done.

On December 30, I jumped behind the wheel of my rapidly aging Chevy Impala to go pick up a few groceries. It responded to the twist of the key with the dreaded ‘clickclick-click’ — dead battery. It couldn’t even hold enough of a charge to keep the correct time on the stereo’s clock.

Jump starting it eventually allowed the car to run again,

but restarting after killing the ignition wasn’t happening (which left me temporarily stranded in the grocery store Bryan Jessop parking lot until a fellow customer pulled up to offer a jump start). This, apparently, is what happens when you put too much faith in a 12-year-old car battery.

Electronics 2, Thrifty Reporter 0.

On New Year’s Day, after stuffing myself with sweets typically associated with the holidays, I decided it was time to once again climb aboard the HMCS Treadmill.

The machine didn’t outright kick the bucket, but it stopped twice without being prompted to do so, wiping out all my settings and stats collected up to those points. With any luck, it’s the safety clip’s magnet — which is a less than perfect fit that has to be duct taped to its contact point — causing the problem.

Electronics 3, Thrifty Reporter 0. Slow motion field goal, hat trick, call it what you will — I had inarguably lost the match/series against devices motivated by either AC or DC power.

I’m hoping the camera’s problem is the same as the car’s — a battery that has to be replaced no matter how often it’s charged (the jumper cables were pulled from the confines of my trunk three times before I could arrange for a replacement). Anyway, new year, new column, new battery/ batteries, new magnet.

The bottom line is that we can’t all be classic rock bands; adapt or get scrapped.

JESSOP’S JOURNAL

Where has the time gone?

I remember when I used to always be the youngest. I’m the baby of the family with 15 years from oldest to youngest. I was always the youngest at work; the youngest at baseball; the youngest among friends.

Fast forward 30 years and I find myself on the other end of the spectrum. When I went to college for journalism in 1988 we used Pentax cameras with bulk-rolled black and white film. A big component of my program was developing the film and manually developing the prints for the paper. We have not done this is about 20 years. The first advancement was one-hour developing and then, of course, digital photography. Can you even develop 35mm film?

Remember the excitement of picking up your prints after they were developed? I remember sitting in my car going through the envelopes and hoping my eyes were open more often than they were closed… And of course, there were a

few “surprise” pictures that friends took. That trick never gets old – I still find surprise picSheila tures on my phone…

McBrayne In the newsroom at Niagara College we had four desktop computers that we all shared and the internet wasn’t invented yet. We actually researched stories and facts. We couldn’t just Google it. I’m amazed at how much information we have at our fingertips today. There is no reason to not know something. If you can form the question, there is always an anwser.

I guess it’s time to realize that I’ve been in the newspaper business for 29 years and now I’m the one preaching to the next generation about how we used to do things.

letters to the editor

Reducing lanes will not help I am very concerned about reducing lanes [Erie Street South, Leamington]. This route is used by cars and transport trucks. Does anyone want to have the lanes blocked with transports?

Reducing lanes is only going to cause more traffic congestion. The town is only going to grow, not shrink. Where are the planners in all this? Why would anyone cross on the busiest part? Walk to the nearest light. This is not a oneway street. This is the busiest street in Leamington. You normally widen streets, not narrow them.

Mill Street looks nice; however, it is not practical. Another poorly thought-out idea. The way I see things, you budget for a better solution and put a walkway over Erie St. and until this is in the realm of affordability, put in a crossing light that people press when they want to cross the street and the light stops traffic, or you put in a regular stop light.

Get rid of the courtesy crosswalk and people will have to go to the light to cross the street until you have a safer solution.

If Highbury wants to have a safer solution faster, they need to kick in some funds to make it work. As Highbury needs to receive and ship product, which is done by transport, then you need a better idea as trucks will not be able to come and go and there are going to be more problems.

I am not a Leamington resident, but I live in the surrounding area and go to Leamington and can see this is a bad idea and will only cause congestion and accidents.

– Evelyn West, Wheatley

Kudos to new skate park Kudos to Leamington for constructing a skate board park at the baseball diamonds. This project was mostly complete before the new year and is it ever being used! I am a senior living across from this park and I observe a lot of people using this facility already.

It looks at times like it could have been 3 times the size.

It could also use some lighting and that may be in the plan.

Some artificial turf would be nice but way to go. It looks as though this will be well used. Very good, nice to see!

– Harvey Bridgeman, Leamington

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Look forward to solid and passionate developments in the days to come, Aries.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Some cosmic goodness is in store for you, Leo. Be excited about your prospects. This year can start out on the right foot, especially as it pertains to domestic matters.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, things in your domestic sector are bound to settle down in a few days. If you planned improvements at home, you’ll sail through those in no time with some help from friends.

a career change is in the works. Start counting good fortune.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 While you have been in a stable relationship for some time now, both parties may be looking to shake things up. It can go two ways: A breakup or newfound depth.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Venus, the ruler of your career sector, will point your professional efforts in the right direction, Capricorn. Your professional outlook might turn completely around.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You may notice people in your social life are more friendly and accommodating lately, Aquarius. In fact, friends have always been there for you because they believe in you.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if you’ve been waiting for seed money to start a venture, then your patience will pay off. Expect some good news to come.

Building shelters at Gore Hill P.S. LEAMINGTON - Mr. Stanley’s 7/8 class at Gore Hill Public School recently built structures as part of their history unit. The class learned that Essex County was once considered to be backwoods (fully forested and sparsely inhabited). Early settlers needed to build temporary structures as they traveled or while building permanent homes. This is what groups of students were challenged with. The temporary structures were evaluated on three criteria: stability, ingenuity/creativity of design, and ability to repel water.

One group successfully repelled 100% of the water dumped on it.

Truck stolen from Kingsville, multiple charges laid KINGSVILLE – On Dec. 30 at approximately 9 a.m., a man approached a residence on Winterline Rd. in Chatham-Kent and asked if he could use the phone to call for a ride as his truck had broken down. The resident provided a phone and the man was picked up by cab for a ride to a Tim Hortons in Chatham.

Shortly after the man left in the cab, the resident noticed the truck was on fire. Chatham-Kent Police and the fire department attended. The fire was extinguished and police were able to identify the truck as being stolen from Kingsville. There were two sets of stolen license plates on the truck as well.

Police officers went to a Tim Hortons in Chatham to try and locate the man. Once the man saw the officers, a short foot pursuit began. Officers caught him and he was arrested. During the pursuit, the man dropped items that belonged at a different Chatham-Kent residence.

As a result, a 21-year-old Tilbury man was charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000 x2, arson, theft, and failure to comply with a probation order x8.

CHATHAM-KENT - The court application brought by Robert Powers for a recount of the 2018 Ward 1 Chatham-Kent Municipal Election has been dismissed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

His Honour Justice Howard heard arguments from legal counsel for the Municipality and Powers on January 2, 2019.

In Ward 1 (West Kent), two councillors were elected from a pool of five candidates in the October election. West Kent includes Wheatley, Tilbury and Merlin areas. Mark Authier led the polls with 1,991 votes and Melissa Hannigan won the second seat with 1,682 votes. Powers was one of six mayoral candidates in the Chatham-Kent election which was won by Darrin Canniff with 19,316 votes. Powers had 351 votes.

Powers had raised concerns about certain ballots being classified as an “unspecified poll”. In his decision, Justice Howard addressed this “unspecified poll” information and ruled that, “Such information is not required to be on the ballots but rather is additional, optional information that the respondent included in the ballots for informational and/or statistical purposes… The “unspecified poll” matrix information does not relate to a vote and, strictly speaking, is not relevant to the actual election results.

In conclusion, Justice Howard held that, “There is a public interest in having certainty in elections such that, among other things, the candidates and the citizens are not left with a cloud hanging over an election. In my view, based on the evidence before me, there has been no valid reason presented that would justify a recount of the Ward 1 election, and in the circumstances of the instant case, it is not in the public interest to order a recount.

The application is therefore dismissed.”

The Municipal Clerk and Chief Returning Officer, Judy Smith, was pleased with the decision of the Court.

“We were confident that the election had been run fairly and the will of the citizens of Ward 1 had been reflected in the final vote totals,” said Smith. “However, we also respect the Court’s role in oversight of this important process and appreciated Justice Howard’s timely review and decision.”

LEAMINGTON – As part of a multi-year plan to improve the environmental health of Point Pelee National Park, Parks Canada and Caldwell First Nation will be conducting a deer population reduction from January 10 to January 25. Public safety is, as always, a priority for Parks Canada. As such, Point Pelee National Park will be closed to visitors during this time.

In managing national parks, Parks Canada has a responsibility to maintain or restore ecological integrity.

High populations (hyperabundant) of white-tailed deer are a serious threat to forest and savannah health at Point Pelee National Park. Through over-browsing, deer in the park are threatening the Carolinian forest, which is home to many species at risk such as the red-headed woodpecker and the red mulberry tree.

Deer are also jeopardizing park efforts to restore the Lake Erie Sandspit Savannah, a globally rare ecosystem that supports 25% of the species at risk in the park.

Based on over 30 years of research and monitoring, a healthy balanced environment at Point Pelee National Park would ideally support 24 to 32 deer. A series of mild winters with light snow cover and a lack of natural predators such as wolves and bears have allowed the park’s white-tailed deer population to grow to three to four times higher than what can be sustained.

Population reduction is reserved for situations of absolute necessity. The deer population reduction is an important part of the ongoing work to improve the health of Point Pelee National Park, including planting native Carolinian species and removing invasive plants.

Visitors are asked to contact Point Pelee National Park for more information at pc.pelee.info.pc@canada. ca or 519-322-2365. For up-to-date information on park closures, please visit the Parks Canada’s website at www.pc.gc.ca/pelee.

Increased penalties for distracted driving in effect

The Bridge is recruiting volunteers

ONTARIO – The Ontario government has introducing a new mandatory three-day driver’s license suspension upon first conviction for distracted driving which came into effect January 1, 2019.

The new minimum fine for a first offence of distracted driving will increase to $615 if settled out of court, up from the current minimum of $490, with a maximum fine of up to $1,000. That first offence will also come with 3 demerit points and a 3-day suspension.

A second offence is a fine of up to $2,000, 6 demerit points and a 7-day suspension.

The third and any further offence includes a fine of up to $3,000, 6 demerit points and a 30-day suspension.

What counts as distracted driving? According to the official Government of Ontario website, anything that causes a driver to be less focused on the road constitutes distracted driving, and when you aren’t focused on the road, things can happen fast.

Simply holding an electronic device in your hands (handheld communication and electric devices, e.g. DVD player, email reader) during driving is against the law. Using your phone to talk, text, check maps, choose a playlist, read books or documents and doing makeup while behind the wheel all count as distracted driving. Other activities like eating, reading or typing a destination into a GPS are also dangerous when you’re behind the wheel. Although there may not be a licence suspension for eating, police warn that you could get a fine or be given 6 demerits, depending on the food.

It doesn’t matter if you’re on a highway or stopped at a red light – distracted driving could cost you.

You can use a hands-free device (e.g. Bluetooth), but only to turn it on and off, or a mounted device (e.g. phone, GPS) as long as it is secure – not moving around while driving.

If convicted, the penalty you face depends on the kind of licence you hold and how long you’ve been driving.

LEAMINGTON – Do you want to make a difference in the lives of local youth and give back to the community by sharing your skills and experiences? The Bridge is for you!

Three unforgettable English cars Tony Nicholls of Leamington remembers three cars he owned in England: “I purchased my first car in 1968, after graduating from BSA motorbikes, from my brother-in-law’s brother, a typical used car dealer of the times. It was an Austin A40 Somerset, and though I don’t recall how old it was, they were only manufactured from 1952 to 1954.

“This car had semaphore style ‘trafficators’, one on each side of the vehicle, and occasionally, when signaling a turn, both would fly out at the same time!

“My next car was a 194748 Hillman Minx which I acquired from a work colleague for the princely sum of just 10 pounds.

“This car had a character of its own and lived up to its license plate name ‘HEL 602.’ Third gear was always a problem because it would slip into neutral if I let go of the gear stick. As well, the clutch would slip while climbing steep hills.

“The brakes were rod activated rather than hydraulic, so difficult to adjust for even braking. On one occasion I had to brake suddenly in a line of heavy traffic and somehow performed a perfect 180 degrees while staying in my own lane so that

Tony Nicholls’ 1947-48 Hillman Minx.

I was then facing the car behind me!

“I also had to be careful not to go too fast around corners as the front passenger Bill Sherk door would fly open, and of course there were no seat belts in those pounds. I think he felt guilty days to keep the passenger selling me a vehicle of ques(usually my girlfriend) from tionable safety.

“The A35 ran well and being thrown out of the car!

“How I never got stopped was sold back to its previby the police for driving an ous owner in August 1970, unsafe vehicle is anyone’s when I got married and immigrated with my wife to guess.

“Later that same year Canada. I left the A35 at (1969), a friend who was my friend’s parents’ house, going to Australia to work ready for him to carry on offered to sell me his Austin driving on his return from A35. I jumped at the offer. Oz.” It was in far better shape Always looking for stothan the Hillman ‘HEL’ car, which I resold back to ries. Email billtsherk@symmy work colleague for 5 patico.ca

Community projects may be stalled Ontario government has withdrawn funding to Trillium Foundation

ONTARIO - The Ontario government has withdrawn a promised $15-million to Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), money the foundation would have granted out to community projects this winter. Funding that would have strengthened communities now won’t be distributed – like funding to fix an ice rink roof, support a local festival, buy community play equipment, provide meals to vulnerable people, and create jobs.

OTF grants are given to nonprofits, First Nations and small municipalities to implement important community projects and initiatives. The Ontario Nonprofit Network is concerned this large cut will cancel and delay important planned projects and is asking the government to reverse its decision.

“OTF grants help us all be open to the business of strengthening the people and communities of Ontario. This funding cut puts communities at risk. The government should keep its promise and restore funding,” says Cathy Taylor, executive director at the Ontario Nonprofit Network.

Concerns regarding the funding cut are shared by many, including the Rural Ontario Institute.

“One of the realities nonprofit organizations serving small rural communities face is that there are relatively few other funding organizations to turn to when it comes to pooling resources for projects,” says Norman Ragetlie, executive director of the Rural Ontario Institute. “OTF is very important for rural municipalities and nonprofits alike. Fewer resources for the OTF will likely be felt by these stakeholders.”

UMEI raises $9,000 for MCC program LEAMINGTON - The UMEI Christian High School student body raised $9,000 for different projects through Mennonite Central Committee’s Christmas Giving program.

There are countless gifts of different sizes that can change lives for individuals, families, and businesses around the world, such as a goat for a family, or blankets for refugee children.

Each student was in a group, which raised money for specific gifts that they were interested in. The five groups were: Growing, Herds and Flocks, Water, Learning and Healthier Living/Relief.

Students found creative ways to raise money for their cause, from holding bake sales and dying their hair, and everything in between. In total, the student body raised $9,000 in a short span of two weeks. The money was raised without any incentive for the groups.

With the money, some of the things they were able to purchase through the MCC were a community toilet, water wells, irrigation for crops, fruit trees, goats, chickens, kindergarten for refugees and much more.

The group that raised the most money was the team donating to Health/Relief, which raised $3,263.

Mission trip to teach English in the Dominican Republic WHEATLEY – A freewill offering is collected during Coffee Hour following morning worship at Wheatley United Church and goes to support various local and global initiatives. Fall collections went to support a mission trip through the University of Western Ontario that McKenna Pearce of Wheatley took to the Dominican Republic where she taught English to primary students. The offerings collected were donated for the purchase of school supplies. Pictured is McKenna and some of the students she taught. “Since returning from the Dominican Republic, my heart has been so full from the wonderful experience that I had,” she said. “I was able to see all of the donations and how much the students benefit from the textbooks provided.”

Flyers double Stars

By Bryan Jessop

Big nights for their newest player and another who celebrated a birthday contributed to a strong start to the New Year for the Leamington Flyers.

The local Junior B team kicked off 2019 with a 6-3 over the St. Thomas Stars at Highbury Canco Arena Thursday, Jan. 3 to reclaim second place in the West from the Chatham Maroons.

St. Thomas forwards kept the puck in Leamington’s zone for a few combined minutes in the first, but couldn’t muster many scoring chances against Zach Borgiel. The guests scored first when Ryan Brown found the top right corner, but newcomer Brett Postula buried a rebound after Anthony Hurtubise stopped a Rory DiNiro shot about half a minute after the opening goal. Colton O’Brien drew the second assist.

To mark his 19th birthday, Preston Corp blasted a shot that Hurtubise almost intercepted with his trapper, only to unknowingly let the puck wobble past him and over the goal line. Dylan Weston and Thomas Mi-

chaud assisted.

Leamington padded its lead in the second on goals by Michael Andrews, Weston and Adam Jeffery.

Hurtubise was relieved by Jesse Hodgson after the score reached 4-1, but Jeffery added the fifth 18 seconds later. Assists on the three goals went to Kade McKibbon, Jeffery, Corp, Josh King, Ryan Gagnier and Andrews.

“We’re just out to play our best game right now, and if that means catching and beating first-place London, so be it.”

— Brett Postula

Brown struck again for the Stars in the first minute of the third, although Wyatt O’Neil replied about 14 minutes later by deflecting a Postula pass into the mesh from the right of Hodgson’s net. Zach Taylor registered the other assist. Lucas Mastroianni finished the scoring with less than 10 seconds to go with a low, close range

shot for St. Thomas.

The Flyers outshot their guests 47-28 and were zero for two on the man advantage while the Stars went zero for four.

“I didn’t like to see us get scored on twice in the third, but it’s always tough to come back when you haven’t played for two weeks,” said Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “We kept it simple and did our job.”

During the holidays, the Flyers acquired their newest forward, 19-yearold Postula of Portage, Mich. At 6’ 0” and 175 pounds, Postula played the first half of the 2018’19 season with the North American Hockey League’s Scranton Knights.

“It’s a great atmosphere here,” he said after his first game as a Flyer.

“I love the fans and the guys are great to me. We’re just out to play our best game right now, and if that means catching and beating firstplace London, so be it.”

Also between Christmas and New Year’s, four Flyers participated in the Future Stars and Top Prospects Games at the Waterloo Rec

Leamington’s Kade McKibbon advances toward the St. Thomas net from the point while being chased by Lucas Mastroianni during the first period of a Thursday, Jan. 3 Western Conference contest at Highbury Canco Arena. Leamington won 6-3 to extend its home ice winning streak to eight games.

Complex Thursday, Dec. 27. The Future Stars Game, featuring the GOJHL’s top 16-year-olds, included Leamington forwards Johnny Ulicny and Gagnier as players with Team Morneau. Their team lost 4-1 to Team Pietrangelo.

Flyer forwards Jeffery and Andrews represented Team Crowder in the Top Prospects Game for 17and 18-year-olds. The team was named after Leamington’s head coach, who led the Prospects squad in Waterloo. Team Crowder was the only of the four

Two wins, one loss for Essex Atom AE Ravens The Essex Atom AE Ravens won a pair and dropped a single game in the Bluewater Hockey League.

On Dec. 19 the Erie North Shore Storm hammered the Ravens by a lopsided 8-1 score. The lone tally for Essex was scored by Caiden St. John.

Three days later, a somewhat rejuvenated Ravens team faced off against the Windsor Junior Spitfires.

This appeared to be a different team than the one that had succumbed to Erie North Shore only three days prior. They hit on all cylinders from start to finish in the match to score a 3-1 victory. Alexandrea Huntley played a sound game in goal for the winners. Goal scorers were Ty Patterson, Ryan Reid and Caiden St. John.

For game three of the

week the team traveled to LaSalle to take on the Sabres. Needing a victory to keep pace with LaSalle in the standings they put in another team-first effort, skating away with a 3-2 victory.

When this group plays as a team and moves the puck from player to player they can compete with any AE team around.

Ryan Reid netted two

beautiful goals set up by linemates Dault and Brophey. A single marker was added by Austin Hamilton. The defence crew of James Sonoski, Hudson Diemer, Brendan Ledoux, Keegan Stack and Ellis Fleming played stellar in front of winning goalie Nathan Lozon.

The Ravens have one league contest remaining

before their long awaited trip to a tournament in Buffalo NY. The tournament features games against Rochester, NY, Ashburn, West Virginia, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Flint, Michigan. All the games will be played in an outdoor environment as well. It’s a chance of a lifetime versus teams from across the U.S.A.

Congrats goes out to the team for the outstanding work and efforts it took to accomplish this great feat.

Nicholas Brophey and Caiden St. John led the Ravens attack with a pair of goals each. A single goal was added by Mason Dault who also chipped in with one assist. Ryan Reid had two helpers and Ellis Fleming and Mason Dault had one. Alexandrea Huntley and Nathan Lozon both played well in the nets for the winners.

Pets of the Week

TREVOR

COOKIE

Trevor is a very loving and vocal cat. He loves being pet, adores head scratched and will even roll over for belly rubs.

Trevor loves to play and chases laser pointers around like a mad man! He is not a lap cat and would prefer to roam freely and explore, although he will always come running when called for affection.

Trevor is great at keeping up conversations and loves to talk back.

Cookie is your typical silly Husky that has no problem vocalizing her concerns and thoughts to you. While she’s not obsessed with food, she LOVES toys, especially the soft kind that she can carry around and keep safe. She may come off as an independent girl that would rather do her own thing, but that may change with the right person she can bond with. She’s got a heart of gold, and is patiently waiting to find her forever home!

Peewee Minors end regular season with a win Another regular season has come and gone in a whirlwind of busy hockey schedules! Teams are gearing up for Play Downs now – a chance for a clean slate with new possibilities.

The Southpoint Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor team faced Amherstburg for their season closer on Friday, January 4th, on home ice.

The first period saw much back and forth action between the two teams and it remained scoreless until Amherstburg scooped up an opportunity to nab one for themselves. The period seemed to be won until the end when Christopher McLean picked up a rebound shot at the 1:49 mark from Taylor Insley and Liam Ouellette – he will tell you it was a garbage goal, but as they say, one person’s trash is another one’s treasure – and that gem would put the Caps on the board.

Colton Selwood found the back of the net, assisted by Max Youssef and Taylor Insley with just 36 seconds left on the clock, making it 2-1 for the Caps going into the 2nd.

The second period was an entirely different story as both teams may have been amped up, but the referees were determined to hold them in check. Fraught with time in the bin, the Caps would find themselves in an 8-minute-long penalty kill, having four penalties backto-back. Despite the scales tipping in their favour, Amherstburg could not break through the line, and their opportunity to turn things around would slip away when Tyler Franklin would send one home, assisted by Liam Ouellette, making it 3-1.

The third period was scoreless for both sides with Amherstburg holding off the Caps from any more opportunities, but the damage was done and the Caps would end their season on home ice with a 3-1 win.

Novice Major A Capitals at Silver Stick On December 28-30 the Southpoint Novice Major A Capitals travelled to Parkhill to participate in the Silver Stick Tournament.

North London 5 – Southpoint 1

First game for the Caps was against the North London Nationals, a tough team who Southpoint faced in the finals of the St Thomas tournament. The Capitals never could find their legs in this contest as the Nationals slowly built a five-goal lead. Late in the game Zack Bradley sent Jonathan Recker in from centre and he fired one in low blocker to salvage a goal in a disappointing 5-1 loss.

Southpoint 4 – Strathroy 1

Later that afternoon Southpoint faced the Strathroy Junior Rockets. Each team traded chances throughout this contest, but it was on the power play that AJ Youssef won the draw to Kayden Cook who ripped home the game’s opening goal. Not long after, while playing shorthanded, Brayden Foster passed to Kayde Grossi who carried the puck into the zone and kept battling, knocking the puck in from a goalmouth scramble. Midway through the middle frame, Strathroy scored while on the power play. Late in the third, with the Rockets goalie pulled for a 6-on-4 advantage, Jonathan Recker stole the puck and sent it down the ice into the open net. A few seconds later, Ben Liebrock kept the puck in at the line and passed to a wide-open Zack Bradley who roofed his shot to seal the 4-1 victory. Karly Franklin stood tall in net making numerous big saves to help her team seal the deal.

Woodstock 4 – Capitals 2

The Capitals faced the Woodstock Navy Jets in the first semi-final. Woodstock scored first on an unlucky deflection and it seemed the Caps were on their heels for the first half of the opening period. But then they found their legs and started to make it a very exciting game.

With four minutes left in the second, while on the power play, the Caps turned over the puck and a Navy Jet went in alone to score. After a missed call they managed to score again on Southpoint’s same power play.

With 3:48 to play, Woodstock tipped in a point shot to

Atom Minors Close With Win

Kingsville Novice start New Year with a win First game back from the holidays, the Green Machine looked to continue their strong play into the New Year.

Both goalies showed little rust and side effects of turkey dinners doing their best wall impressions, turning away shot after shot. In the end, it was Sam Ward who prevailed in the goaltender duel. Quinn Monmonie and Keaton Morphet lit the scoreboard with Will Loncke and Rocco Bailargeon picking up the helpers.

Strong back-checking ended up being the difference maker for the Green Machine, as they held off a late Essex charge winning the heated battle 2-1.

Southpoint 9 – Dorchester 1

The next game saw Southpoint face the Dorchester Dragons. Unlike the previous day, the Capitals came out flying, determined to notch a win. They scored early and often in this game en route to a 9-1 victory. Tyler Thomas and Sloan Smith led the way, each scoring two goals and an assist. AJ Youssef scored a pair of goals as well. Brayden Foster had a goal and two assists. Kayde Grossi added a goal and an assist, and Brody Brown had a goal. Jonathan Recker and Zack Bradley each chipped in an assist in the win.

Novice Community Trophies vs Essex Yellow After a two-week break the Novice Red Community Trophies team was back in action against Essex Yellow.

The Southpoint Red team played quite well individually as well as a team. There was passing and on a number of occasions a strong presence in front of the opposition’s net. Red’s Sean Amaral scored the first goal when he drove to the Essex net and lifted the puck in. Jackson Weil picked up an assist.

On Southpoint’s second goal Ty Gould moved in off the blue line and took a shot which the Essex goalie stopped.

However Gavin Butineillo was there to put the rebound away. Landon Carlini earned a shutout in his first attempt at playing net. Reid Charles showed great improvement in going after Essex players trying to bring the puck out of their own end.

Finally, defenseman Carter Kretschmann held the line on a number of occasions and started to carry the puck around on his own. Congratulations to everyone on the Community Trophies team for your 2-0 win. increase their lead, but the Capitals were not deterred. They skated faster and played harder, increasing the pressure in the Woodstock zone.

With goalie Christian Papp pulled for the extra attacker, Brayden Foster chipped the puck out of his end to Brody Brown who made a nice pass to Kayden Cook inside the blue line and he ripped one past their goalie with 1:35 left.

After keeping the pressure on, Jonathan Recker won an offensive zone face-off to Cook, who shot from high in the slot and it too found its way to the back of the net. With 34 seconds left, the referees decided to not call an obvious icing, so by the time the Caps were able to re-enter the Woodstock zone the final seconds ticked away. The result was a hard fought 4-2 defeat.

The Southpoint Atom Minor Capitals hosted the Belle River Canadians Friday night on the Unico rink.

Puck drop was 8 p.m.

The Canadians scored two goals while the Caps retaliated with one scored by Matthew Mastromatteo, assisted by Ben McFadden and Rex Pearce.

Period two continued with the same game play and grit with each team scoring a goal apiece. The Caps goal was scored from a one-timer by Gabriel Rino.

Entering the last period the Caps were down by one. The Canadians took the lead dominating the period and scoring three more to take the lead 5-3.

The Capitals, not backing down, scored their third by forward Matthew Mastromatteo (his second of the game) with assists from Ben McFadden and Mitchell Moracci.

With the clock counting down the seconds, the Capitals scored their final goal. Matthew Mastromatteo ended on a high note with a hattrick assisted

by Aidan Pulley and Noah Borges. Final score 6-4 for Belle River.

On Sunday the Capitals travelled to Amherstburg to play the Stars for a 5:20 p.m. game. With the regular season coming to an end the Caps needed a win.

The puck dropped and play began with the Caps dominating this period with two goals and many shots on net. Goal scorers from the Caps were Noah Borges and Ben Arquette, assists by Gabriel Rino, Ben McFadden and Mitchell Moracci.

The Caps played well making passes and catching rebounds off the boards moving the puck up and shooting with determination on the Stars net minder.

The Stars scored a goal in the second and third to make their mark on the board. Southpoint’s Atom Minor forward Ben McFadden tipped the puck in after deking from behind the Stars net minder to keep the Caps in the lead.

Period three was counting down as the Caps found themselves battling the Stars from scoring on a power play, only to score their fourth goal on the Stars empty net with only 39 seconds left. The game winning goal was scored by Ben Arquette. Caps won 4-2. Both net minders for the Caps, Nicholas DiMilo and Nolan Meadows made many saves during this past weekend’s games warming them up for the play downs to come.

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time The Wigle Block can be seen in this 1907 photo.

Earl Harris is standing on the sidewalk near R.H. Pickard’s “The Corner Drug Store,” while Morley Minnis is in front of an unidentified c l o t h i n g store.

While the structure appears to be one continuous building, it was actually constructed at two different times by two different owners. Along the top of the building, the Wigle Block and Conklin Block signs can be seen.

Bon Jasperson and S.L. McKay began a private bank in the Wigle Block in 1897.

Bon Jasperson was manager; S.L. McKay, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Ada Brown, bookkeeper. The firm acted as agents for the Merchants Bank of Canada. The partnership was dissolved in July 1898 and Bon Jasperson continued the business under his name. In this photograph an unknown woman stands at the entrance to Bon Jasperson’s banking establishment. The entrance to Dr. Andrew Wigle’s dental office on the second floor can be seen to the right of the bank.

A Look at Leamington’s Past courtesy of C. Scott Holland LEFT - January 1966: It is still considered the worst train derailment in Leamington’s history and it occurred at the tracks that were once situated on Erie Street North.

A westbound C&O train derailed with about two dozen cars coming off the tracks. Erie St. N. was closed to traffic and witnesses claimed that a car had caught fire. It took crews about a week to clean the area. Only one injury was suffered and it was to a local firefighter whose hand was injured while manning the firehose.

RIGHT - 1974 Centennial Torch: It was a snowy evening when Leamington kicked off 1974 – its centennial year – by lighting the Centennial Torch at midnight at a ceremony held on New Year’s Eve.

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, January 1989 LEFT - Brad Cobby lives at the edge of Wheatley and he is doing his part to support Mersea Township’s new recycling program. Wheatley residents will probably be part of a Kent County program by June of this year.

RIGHT - Wheatley enjoys outstanding soccer season.

In Boys soccer, the Jr. team played extremely well all season scoring a total fo 21 goals in just 6 games and only allowing one to be returned to them.

But a change in field size seemed to hamper the Wheatley squad as they dropped the first game of the playoffs 4-1. That field it seems was too small for the agressive Wheatley group. But a little adjustment paid off as they wrapped up the consolation final with a decisive 7-0 win. Front row, left to right: Darryn Lamb, Brian Andre, Nelson Melo, Joe Cabral, Jason Sloan, Drew Harvey, Valdemiro Melo, Dennis Medeiros, Bryce Koehler. Back row: Gary Marques, Andy Amaral, James Caldwell, Robert Tavares, Walter Andre, Randy Liebrock, Jeff St. John, Steven Resendes, Tim Pimentel, Jamie Thomas, Mark Fomscea, Gary Couto.

Novice Majors split weekend games

Bryce Tracey of Lincoln, NB makes his way into Hurricanes territory with the puck while being challenged by three Tillsonburg players as part of first period action in a Sunday, Jan. 6 GMHL game at the Kingsville Arena Complex. The Hurricanes set the pace by scoring two shorthanded goals in the same penalty in the first period en route to an 11-2 win over Kingsville.

(Southpoint Sun Photo)

Kingsville Kings struggle against Tillsonburg The New Year has started on as frustrating a note for the Greater Metro Hockey League’s Kingsville Kings as the previous calendar year ended.

The local GMHL Tier II Junior A team’s losing streak reached five games following an 11-2 loss to the Tillsonburg Hurricanes Sunday, Jan. 6 at the Kingsville Arena Complex.

The Hurricanes set the offensive tone in the first period with two shorthanded goals on the same Kings’ power play. The ‘Canes buried three more before the opening 20 minutes ended, including a controversial fourth tally scored while Kingsville defenseman Aleksi Haapakoski lay injured on the ice in front of the Tillsonburg bench for several seconds.

Dmitri Selyutin of the Hurricanes did most of the damage, scoring eight goals and adding two assists to bring his season point total to 67 (44 goals, 23 assists) over 15 games. Richard Boruta scored the first goal of the second frame before Bryce Tracey scored the first of the third to account for the Kings’ goals. Kingsville outshot their guests 39-36.

The loss brought the Kings’ record to 19-13-0-1, keeping them two points behind thirdplace Windsor and two points ahead of fifth-place North York in the 12-team South Division standings.

Kingsville was battling Tillsonburg in a tight race for second until the current string of losses began December 16 against the Hurricanes in a 9-8 decision. Since then, the Kings have lost 5-2 at St. George, 5-4 in overtime in Windsor and 5-2 at home against Windsor prior to the January 6 match. Prior to the current slump, Kingsville had not lost more than two games consecutively.

The Kings have nine games remaining in the 2018-’19 regular season, starting with a Sunday, Jan. 13 home ice match against Windsor starting at 3 p.m.

The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major Capitals hosted the Riverside Rangers on Saturday afternoon, January 5.

Riverside got on the board first midway through the opening period as Southpoint seemed to struggle to find their game. Then, with 24.6 seconds left Jonathan Recker won the face off to Kayde Grossi who ripped his shot on net. Brayden Foster fought for the rebound and banged it in to even the score.

Riverside, while short handed, scored in the second to take a 2-1 lead into the final frame. A little over two minutes into the third, after some hard work

by Zack Bradley and Sloan Smith in the corner, Smith passed to Bradley out front and he tipped it home to tie the game. On the ensuing face off AJ Youssef won the draw back to Kayde Grossi who skated the puck in and wired his shot top shelf to take the lead.

On a power play a min-

Sloan Smith carries puck

ute later Recker won the draw back to Kayden Cook who rifled his shot at the net and it deflected in to go up by a pair. With three minutes to go AJ Youssef grabbed the puck from the corner and came out to the front of the net and jammed it in to increase the Caps lead.

Finally, with two minutes left, and the Riverside goalie pulled for an extra attacker, Youssef tipped the puck ahead to Brayden Foster who skated the puck in and slid it into the open cage securing a 6-2 victory for Southpoint. Karly Franklin made some timely saves in helping her team with the win.

On Sunday afternoon the Capitals travelled to Essex to take on the Ravens.

Again, Southpoint came out a little sluggish and found themselves trailing by one after one. But they continued to work hard and were rewarded late in the middle

frame. Owen Derksen kept the puck in at the line and sent it back into the corner. AJ Youssef, with some hard work along the boards, made a nice pass out to Brayden Foster who ripped it home. A little over a minute later Essex would score again to regain the lead.

Early in the third, the Ravens would pot another while on the power play. But shortly thereafter Charlie Ketler kept the puck in the offensive zone and Jonathan Recker fired his shot on net. Zack Bradley banged in the rebound to get his team one closer.

Although Southpoint had continued pressure and numerous scoring chances they were unable to find the equalizer. With Christian Papp pulled for the extra man Essex was able to score an empty netter and hand Southpoint a hard fought 4-2 loss.

Admirals outrank Sharks

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – The Wheatley Omstead Sharks did not ring in the New Year on a strong note, dropping a 5-2 decision against the Amherstburg Admirals.

The Wednesday, Jan. 2 game kicked off 2019 at Wheatley Area Arena with a shaky second period, contributing to the Sharks’ falling three games below the .500 mark. The hosts struck early but struggled from there in what coaches attributed to a substandard work ethic.

“We can only do so much as staff with direction and putting together practices,” said Sharks’ head coach Josh Carnevale. “They’ve got to find it within themselves. If they’re not going to put in the effort, the same (thing) is going to keep happening.”

Wheatley’s offense jumped out to a relentless start in the first, forcing several turnovers to keep Admirals’ goalie Ben Larder on his toes. After 88 seconds of play, Jordan Paquette took advantage of Larder losing his balance at the left side of his net to complete a partial wrap around into the empty right side. Michael Connolly and Alixe Saliba drew the assists, the later returning from an injury that left him off the roster for several games.

A short time later, the injury bug began hounding the Sharks. Drew Denomey was hurt on his third shift of the game and Paquette was sidelined shortly after scoring, also in the first period. The one-goal lead persisted for just over 14 minutes until Travis Campbell sent a wrist shot into the

top right corner of former Admiral Catalin Morin’s net.

“They’ve got to The Sharks unravfind it within themelled in the second selves. If they’re not frame, where they going to put in the were outshot 17-4 effort, the same (thing) and outscored 3-0. is going to keep Cory Burns potted happening.” the go-ahead goal on — Josh the power play before Carnevale Dean Deluca notched two straight 49 seconds apart.

Wheatley recovered somewhat in the third, but failed to gain significant ground. Matt Taylor struck on a wrist shot from the point during a power play with 44 seconds to go, assisted by Dawson Iles and Cole Butler. Max Clifford finished the scoring for the Admirals eight seconds later.

The Sharks were outshot 46-30 and went one for four on the power play while Amherstburg was one for two.

Following a Saturday, Dec. 22 3-0 home ice win over the Wallaceburg Lakers, the Sharks drew winners of this season’s Cash Raffle at the Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion. Winners were Anne Pickle ($1,000), Jaclynn Arquette ($500), Jack McKinlay ($250) and Richard Crackel ($250).

The remaining regular season home games for the Sharks include a Wednesday, Jan. 9 contest against the Lakeshore

Alixe Saliba of the Sharks turns around to take control of the puck following a face-off against the Admirals’ Bryce McGregor during the third period of a Stobbs Division contest at Wheatley Area Arena Wednesday, Jan. 2. The Sharks lost 5-2.

Canadiens, a Wednesday, Jan. 16 match against the Admirals and the Wednesday, Jan. 30 final home game against the Blenheim Blades. All games will begin at 7:30 p.m.
