Lock It or Lose It! Members of the Ontario Provincial Police Auxiliary spent January 16th conducting a Lock It or Lose It campaign throughout the county. Three auxiliary officers started in Tecumseh and worked their way through Lakeshore, Essex, Harrow and Leamington.

Pictured here OPP Auxiliary officer Ryan Smith cleared off the snow to look inside this vehicle in the Leamington Municipal parking lot to make sure there were no valuables in sight. Auxiliary officer Jason Ferris explained that the officers checked vehicles to make sure they were locked and left an information pamphlet for drivers to read. The hope is to get the public to remember to lock their vehicles and ensure that valuables are kept out of sight. The third auxiliary officer volunteering was John Koppes.

Details released in Heinz agreement Heinz employees in Leamington will receive two weeks pay per year of service in a closure agreement reached last week.

According to a letter from UFCW Canada Local 459 which was sent to Heinz’ s 640 unionized workers employees last week, those with more than five years of service will receive 52 weeks of health care benefit continuation. Employees with less than five years will receive 26 weeks of health care continuation and a lump sum payout equal to the greater of five weeks’ wages or two weeks’ wages per completed year of service.

Rob Crawford, president of UFCW Canada Local 459, confirmed that the unionized employees will also receive a $2,500 productivity bonus when the plant closes. The plant is scheduled to close June 27.

The letter explained that current retirees of Heinz will continue to receive their monthly pension without interruption and, in due course, retirees will be notified that an insurance company has assumed responsibility for the payment of their monthly pension.

Leamington Mayor John Paterson stated that he was happy to see the employees treated fairly. “I asked Lisa (Granger) from Leamington’s HR department and she said that it’s usually 2 weeks for every year with a 24 or 26 weeks cap, so this is really good,” said Paterson. “And the fact that they are extending benefits for 52 weeks after closure is really excellent, almost unheard of… Other than giving them their jobs back, I think they (Heinz) were true to their word to treat them well,” said Paterson.

As part of the agreement with the UFCW, Heinz also agreed to contribute $500,000 to the Action Centre that is being established to assist employees with job transition, and to arrange job transition workshops to prepare interested Heinz employees to be successful in the job application process.

Council looking for new CAO

By Sheila McBrayne According to his contract, Leamington’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Bill Marck has one last task to complete before he can retire later this year – replacing himself.

In a report to Council on Monday, January 13, Marck informed Council that in order to fulfill his contract one last duty included, “Assisting Council in developing a path/process to fill the vacancy created by the CAO’s retirement. After Council has adopted the method of hiring, the CAO shall Bill Marck remove himself from the hiring process.” Marck pointed out that it could take approximately four to five months to fill the position, and reminded Council that with this being an election year, he wished to start the process early in the year.

In his report the current CAO pointed out two options for Council – hire a consulting firm or use municipal staff - Human Resources Officer (HRO). Although consulting firms usually provide a guarantee that if after six months the CAO who was selected from the consultant’s pool of candidates is not acceptable to Council, then the consultants would generate a new list of candidates at their own expense. The downside of using a consulting firm is the cost – usually 30 to 50% of the first year’s salary of the position in question - in this case $45,000 to $75,000.

If the municipality were to use their own HRO, the report stated that it would be considerably less expensive than using a consultant. “The municipal HRO has the experience/expertise to take the lead in the job search, (Continued on Page 3)

LDMH issuing visitor and staff precautions to protect patients from exposure to influenza Growing cases in influenza activity have led to Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH) issuing a temporary visitor restriction to protect vulnerable patients from unnecessary exposure to influenza.

LDMH hopes the news of severe influenza cases in the Windsor-Essex region will prompt unvaccinated individuals to get a flu vaccine for themselves and their children as soon as possible. Flu-like symptoms – fever, chills, sore throat, cough, runny nose, body aches, and fatigue – can come on suddenly and last for days.

It’s not too late to vaccinate. There is vaccine available at drugstores and doctors’ offices, and everyone over the age of 6 months should get the vaccine as this year’s regular seasonal flu vaccine protects against the most commonly circulating H1N1 strain, as well as others. Please note that pharmacists can only administer the flu shot to Ontarians five years of age and older. If you have children from 6 months to less than 5 years old, visit your doctor or health care provider.

Patients in the care of LDMH may have conditions that make them especially vulnerable to complications if they contract influenza. In keeping with the practices being followed at Bluewater Health, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Windsor Regional Hospital and Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare, LDMH has implemented, effective immediately, the following visitor restrictions and staff guidelines as a proactive precaution to reduce the risk to uninfected patients: Visitor restrictions and staff guideline precautions for influenza: • People with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, sore throat, cough, runny nose, body aches and fatigue should not visit their loved ones at LDMH or come with patients to appointments or emergency visits.

• Hand washing is the best way to stop the spread of infection. All visitors are asked to use alcohol-based hand sanitizer upon entering the hospital and frequently during your stay.

Leamington Municipal Election 2014

The following is a list of those who have filed their papers to run in the 2014 Municipal Election - Monday, October 27 - in Leamington.

• Visitors will be limited to 2 at a time in the room.

• No children under the age of 12 will be allowed to visit hospital patients.

• The visitor requirement to wear a mask while visiting a patient may be put into place by the patient’s care team on a case-by-case basis.

• LDMH staff (employees, volunteers and medical/professional staff and affiliates) who have not been vaccinated against influenza will be required to wear a mask when they have patient contact.

A portion of the proceeds to support Hospice Leamington.

Council discusses hiring of new CAO

By Pat Bailey Leamington Council is hoping to attract a new CAO that will become involved in the community and plant roots here. And the majority of Council believe one way to encourage this is by advertising the position as a permanent full-time post.

But Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright and Councillor Larry Verbeke disagreed. They opposed the motion at the Monday night, Jan. 20, Council meeting, speaking out in favor of a specified term contract.

Wright said he believed a four- or five-year contract post would attract talented and driven applicants.

Councillor Hilda MacDonald though, said she believed if the municipality opted to advertise the position as a contract position, it might lend itself to attracting applicants that had no plans of settling down in Leamington but those using the position as a stepping stone for future employment.

“I don’t want us to be a stepping stone,” said MacDonald, “I believe hiring permanent full-time would attract those who want to plant roots in this community.”

Mayor John Paterson said he, too, believes by making the position ‘permanent’, the new CAO might have a greater attachment to the community, while an applicant knowing he would only be in the community four or five years, would not.

For Councillor Rick Atkin, ‘being a part of the community’, was something he would like to ensure when they choose current CAO Bill Marck’s successor.

But Brian Sweet, director of corporate services, said the municipality can’t dictate where the applicant lives.

MacDonald said she realizes Council can’t specify the successful candidate live within the municipal boundaries – but she would hope they settle down within the greater community.

MacDonald also said she also believes by advertising the post as ‘permanent full-time’, it offers a greater sense of safety and security for those applying.

Councillor Chris Chopchik agreed that in the current climate of layoffs, a feeling of job security is extremely important.

Dear Paterson said he believes the nationwide search for a new FURNITURE • APPLIANCES • CARPETING • MATTRESSES Master CAO will begin right away.

Lisa Granger, human resources officer, said she believes the process will take two to five months. She said depending on the number of applications, she will come up with a Coil Spring short list of candidates and assist the hiring committee in Mattress the interview and selection process. The committee is comstarting at posed of Mayor John Paterson and councillors MacDonald $119.00 and Verbeke.

The Southpoint Sun - 3

Leamington looking for new CAO (Continued from Front) and recommend (in conjunction with the mayor) a shortlist of candidates to the hiring committee,” the report stated. The municipality does not have a hiring policy for a CAO, but does have a hiring policy for directors. A Hiring Committee is comprised of two council members, the Mayor and the CAO. Based on that format it was recommended to set up a Hiring Committee with Mayor John Paterson, a CAO from another municipality and two members of council, selected by the Mayor. The names recommended were Councillors Hilda MacDonald and Larry Verbeke.

Mr. Marck also explained that Council would have to decide if they wanted the position to be a contract or a full time regular employment position.

Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright asked for a recorded vote and opposed the motion, which recommended Council have the HRO commence the process of recruiting a new CAO; and that the Hiring Committee be charged with the responsibility of interviewing and recommending a new CAO. During the Open Session of Council Wright told Council that he did not agree with how the Hiring Committee was chosen. “Picking of the committee should not be the CAO’s call,” said Wright.

Mayor Paterson explained that CAO Marck sent an email to Mayor Paterson, Brian Sweet, Director of Corporate Services and Lisa Granger, HRO, stating that a Hiring Committee should be chosen by them, so that he could include the names in his report to Council. In his email he stated, “I think it would be best to name those candidates you decide in my report.”

“I contacted Councillors Verbeke and MacDonald and they accepted and said they’d be honoured and I forwarded their names to the CAO to be included in his report,” said Mayor Paterson. “I have the email trail to prove it,” he added.

What makes happy people so happy – no, not that…

Between funny cat pictures and low-calorie recipes, the most popular items on Facebook seem to be these daily affirmations. Most are one line or two with a picture of a sunset or rainbow or some cheesy picture SHEILA McBRAYNE like that.

I’m not particularly keen on receiving my life lessons from strangers, I mean, McThots “friends” on Facebook.

It has occurred to me that I may be getting cynical. With a birthday approaching next month to remind that I’m another year older, perhaps I could use a good dose of sappy, feel-good affirmations.

I found a post on Facebook entitled the 21 points that happy people make a habit of doing… I couldn’t stand to read all 21 and I’m certainly not going to repeat all 21, so I’ll give you my abbreviated version of 10 good ideas to keep a positive outlook. I’ve added my own two cents in italics at the end of each one.

1. Appreciate Life: Be thankful for every day and all your loved ones. Don’t sweat the small stuff. (There is always someone worse off than you. Never take good health for granted.)

2. Choose Friends Wisely: Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals.

Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. (Not to the point that you want to choke them though… And they must support your wine habit.)

3. Be Considerate: Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Don’t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Don’t judge. Everyone has a

right to live their own life the way they want to – including you. (Be kind. Can’t we all just get along?)

4. Do What You Love: Some statistics show that 80% of people dislike their jobs! We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy – the extra money doing a job you detest isn’t worth it. (Amen!)

5. Enjoy Life: Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future. (Blah, blah… Slow down and enjoy what you have.)

6. Forgive: Holding a grudge will hurt no one but you.

Forgive others for your own peace of mind. When you make a mistake – own up to it – learn from it – and forgive yourself. (The past is the past.)

7. Laugh: Don’t take yourself – or life - too seriously.

Laugh at yourself – no one’s perfect. (Laugh at yourself before others do…)

8. Invest in Relationships: Always make sure your loved ones know you love them even in times of conflict.

Nurture and grow your relationships with your family and friends by making the time to spend with them. (Your time is the best gift you can give anyone.)

9. Take Responsibility: Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they’ve made a mistake. (It is so much easier being imperfect...)

10. Be Proactive: Accept what cannot be changed.

Happy people don’t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation. Steer clear of negative thoughts. Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest.

Drink lots of water. (And listen to your mother.)

Stop encouraging yourself? NEVER Most of the time it’s not easy, but if you can just get your feet to hit the floor, half the battle is over!

Motivating myself to swim at least two mornings a week is not easy. The thought of slipping into a frosted car, driving for 10 minutes, then donning a bathing suit and plunging into a cool pool leaves little to be desired. On the other hand, spin class (an exercise done on stationary bicycles) provides the opportunity to gradually work up to a great workout, all the while being entertained by the women in the back row.

Closures caused by snow, the need for sleep and the fact that bed simply feels too good, have all either helped or hindered my cause by affording me innumerable excuses not to exercise. It’s easy to take advantage of these easy ways out, but suddenly the knowledge dawns on me that I have never finished any early morning workout and wished that I’d avoided it.

Swimming is a great exercise. Within half an hour, one gets a very good cardio workout that includes arms, legs and core strengthening, especially if you concentrate on your form. Another great part of swimming is that no one else knows the distance you swim, which muscles you are concentrating on, or what you are thinking about. During the first 10 or so laps I think, “Oh my, that was only just 10!” But before I know it I float into oblivion and soon I’m finished. Climbing out of the pool, I feel like a new person as I stand taller with a clearer mind. This newfound energy continues for most of the day.

I still never hop out of bed and say “woo hoo! I can’t wait to slip into that cool pool.” NOT! The only thing that gets me there is when I recall all the positive side effects,

the feelings I will experience after. Another plus is my first sip of the Timmies I reward myself with to enjoy on the quiet ride home. My goggle-imprinted eyes and the slight scent of eau de chlorine do not overshadow my endorphin filled body.

The old saying “no SHANNON pain, no gain” supposMATHESON edly isn’t politically or athletically correct anymore, but who are we fooling? It hurts to Lifestyles... jumpstart muscles back into action. A couple of weeks ago, I pushed myself to do a stomach workout. Two days later I was pretty sure that I had the flu. My abdominal muscles felt cramped and were tender to touch and I ALMOST had less of an appetite, but not quite. Then my gut instinct kicked in and I realized it wasn’t anything intestinal, just my muscles yelling because they’d been neglected for so long. My back is thankful as the abs strengthen, thus easing the stress and strain on it.

When “you snooze, you lose.” Everything feels better when you get up and challenge yourself. Food tastes better knowing you’ve earned it and a cold beer is well satisfying and well deserved.

Ok, now that I’ve almost talked myself into my big plunge, I hope I have inspired you to try a couple planks a day, do a few crunches, go for a walk or dance with some friends at a Zumba class. Exercise is personal, so do what you enjoy the most. Your body deserves it!

Aging with grace and reluctance We get constant reminders of just how old we are and the past few weeks have been no exception. Whether it’s aching bones and muscles or reminders of things in our past, we just cannot escape the fact that we are an aging generation.

In my case, I’ve come to the realization that I’m closer to the end of life than to the beginning.

MARK I don’t know when we pass that threshold, but I RIBBLE think someday we just suddenly realize that we are getting old and life takes on a new perspective.

A couple of weeks ago, I stopped in to the local Rib’s pharmacy to pick up some over the counter medicaRamblings tion. When the young lady at the till rang it up, she gave me a senior discount.

Didn’t ask for I.D. or anything, just gave it to me.

Maybe I looked poor, I don’t know. Maybe it was my thinning hairline. Or maybe my almost 53 years fooled her into thinking I was 55.

The fact that I used the word ‘till’ right there should tell you my age.

When I worked in the grocery business, every cash register was a till and yes, you were rung up, because the registers made all sorts of ringing sounds when you pushed the buttons and especially when the drawers opened.

The other day I was digging through a box at home trying to find some old photos and came across a couple of things that resonated with ‘oldness’.

First, I found one of those round yellow clips that went into the middle of a 45 record so you could put it on the spindle of a record player. We called it a record player when I was a kid. As I grew into adulthood, the name was changed to turntable, and then the vinyl record industry virtually disappeared overnight. It went the way of reel-to-reel tape recorders, 8mm movie cameras and eventually their descendants, the cassette tape and VHS camera.

My generation is a lucky one. We were born into a technology revolution.

When I was born, we had a black and white TV with rabbit ears, one per household. Now we have 3D TVs with flat screens that get 200 channels. VCRs have come and gone, as have 8-tracks and cassette tapes.

I often think of my parents’ generation and the technological advances that came during their lifetime. They went from going to silent movies for a nickel to paying $10 a movie for something in high definition colour and sound.

Pulling out some old photos, I found several of childhood friends and relatives who are no longer with us. Funny how photos capture someone’s image in life and when you think of them after they’re gone, those photos are the images you imagine.

My Aunt Polly passed away last week at 83. I never imagined she would be 83, even

The Southpoint Sun - 5

though the math in my head said so. She was five years younger than my late mother, who would have been 88 last June, so the years do add up.

I guess I still look at myself as a young man and had trouble reconciling that my mother would have been that old, or that my aunt would have been in her 80s at all.

That makes me an old man by many standards.

Of course, I feel it in my bones every day.

My taste in music likely gives it away as well. A lifelong Beatles fan, I fulfilled a dream of seeing Paul McCartney at Comerica Park a couple of years ago, a truly moving experience.

Of course, as a teenager, I spun a few edgier acts on my ‘turntable’, like Journey, Styx and the Doobie Brothers. Those were edgy for me. Some of my peers were listening to Black Sabbath and AC/DC but I hadn’t acquired a taste for that yet.

Later on, I would come to appreciate the AC/DCs of this world.

Now, as I settle into my twilight, I’m happy to listen to the mellow stuff produced when I was a kid, like Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘If You Could Read My Mind’ or Burton Cummings’ ‘Stand Tall’.

Things change and life goes on I guess.

Being a sucker for nostalgia, I find myself watching old TV shows and chuckling at the sight of Fred Sanford or Archie Bunker. These are shows that our kids wouldn’t even likely find funny, but the feeling I get when watching them is a good one all around.

As I take to the ice this weekend with my Wheatley Oldtimer teammates at our tournament in Belle River, I can’t help but think about those cold mornings in the old Leamington Arena, getting dressed at home and having my dad tie my skates with the yellow waxed laces, an Export cigarette dangling from his mouth. As I stepped onto that ice for the first time with my leather helmet and hand-me-down everything, I marveled at the way my breath showed up in the air.

This weekend, my worries will be more about having the breath to get through a shift against some stiff Choose from Appetizers, competition.

Entrees, Specialty Coffees Life has a funny way of and Desserts reminding you just how old 24 Seacliffe Dr. E. Leamington you are.

Cougars support cancer patient

By Bryan Jessop Cardinal Carter students set aside the traditional blue and gray for a day in favour of orange, orange and more orange.

The local high school established Wednesday, Jan. 15 as a fundraising launch for seven-year-old Aubri Andre, a Leamington girl who was recently diagnosed with two forms of leukemia — acute lymphoblastic leukemia and later chronic myelogenous leukemia. Although the latter was later re-diagnosed as high risk with chromosomal transmutation, her expected term of 2.5 years of treatment has been lengthened to 3.5 years.

The idea to organize a fundraiser for Aubri began during Cardinal Carter’s annual Grade 11 Faith Day, held just prior to the Christmas holiday break. During the event, students watched a video describing the young girl’s situation and afterwards were asked to come up with ideas on how they could assist her and her family. The Grade 11 leadership class responded with the fundraising initiative that began Jan. 15.

For that day, Cardinal Carter students were given the opportunity to make a minimum donation of $2 in exchange for permission to replace standard school uniforms with orange attire — the official colour of leukemia.

The majority of the school participated and collected about $1,000 to help Aubri’s family offset the costs involved with treatment, which is being conducted in Calgary. Fund-

A group of Cardinal Carter students gather at their school’s chapel to display their support for seven-year-old cancer patient Aubri Andre. The students each paid a fee to wear orange — the official colour of leukemia — Wednesday, Jan. 15.

raising and donations by staff and students will continue until the end of February with a combined goal of $2,000.

Cardinal Carter chaplain Judy Butera, the main coordinator for the ongoing fundraiser, was pleased with Day 1’s results.

“It’s just great to see,” Butera said of the classrooms and hallways filled with orange garb. “There aren’t many without orange.

One student even showed up with a construction uniform.

I’m thrilled to see us half way to our goal on the first day. The staff and students

here are very giving when it comes to the community.”

Donations will continue to be collected prior to Ash Wednesday (March 5) through the collection of day-to-day contributions and weekly Friday Mission Collections.

In an additional showing of support, Cardinal Carter students have fabricated and are donning makeshift orange ribbons. These ribbons have been fabricated using a large supply of tubing donated by Oak Farms.

Butera’s organizational efforts are being supported by leadership course students and campus ministry. Students led by Paula Zimmerman and Christine Pedro have led promotional efforts by creating and hanging posters.

Bill Hutchinson turned 90 on January 7 and has been spending a lot of his spare time at The Bank Theatre helping in the renovation.

Now that the roof has been put back on the theatre, the work has begun inside.

Last week Hutchinson was busy jack-hammering tiles in the auditorium to prepare the floors for refinishing.

“There’s a lot of work to get done and we’re running out of time before our first show,” said Hutchinson.

The rush to finish the interior of The Bank Theatre is for the upcoming production that Hutchinson’s wife, Audrian, is featured in.

She’s one of the several local ladies in the Sun Parlour Players Community Theatre and Theatre Ensemble (of Windsor)’s production of Calendar Girls, which opens on Thursday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m, $20/person.

On Friday, February 14 at 7:30 p.m. is a special Meet and Greet with the actors after the performance, complimentary refreshments and a $20 tax receipt for your $50 ticket.

Saturday and Sunday, February 15 and 16, there are two shows each day.

Matinees are at 2 p.m. and evening shows are at 7:30 p.m. All weekend tickets are $20 each. To order tickets call the ticket hotline at 519326-8805 or order online at www.banktheatre.com/calendargirls.html Other local performers include Suzanne McCraig, Jane Toppi, Laurie Neifer, Ray Silvius, Chris Fazekes, and various actors from Essex County and Windsor area.

“Until we acquired this building we never had a home of own,” said Hutchinson who has been involved with Sun Parlour Players since 1973. “It’s been very satisfying to work on this and see it all come together… I can’t wait for the day it’s finished,” said Hutchinson.

This is the second phase of The Bank Theatre project with phase three, which includes seating for 200 and all the amenities to support this increased seating capacity.

Express charity game fast approaching

By Bryan Jessop The details of an upcoming, first-of-its kind fundraiser for Leamington are quickly taking shape.

The Windsor Express professional basketball team will take on a select group of all-stars from the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex Thursday night men’s league Friday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. The LKRC will host the event — a fundraiser for the Canadian Tire Jump Start program and United Way Centraide of Windsor and Essex County — in the main gymnasium with tickets available for the first 600 buyers.

Although the precise number of tickets sold for the event so far have not yet been added up, they are finding buyers at a consistent rate.

“These tickets are selling steadily,” said LKRC recreation facility coordinator Dave Orshinsky. “The feedback from the public has been very positive. People are excited about it.”

The LKRC Thursday Night Men’s League has been preparing for the big game since it was announced. The host team’s league coordinators selected 13 players — to be led by three coaches — for the unique match. The Thursday Night League players selected to take on the local National Basketball League of Canada team are as follows: • Adam Rempel - #32; • Kris Klassen - #4; • Reid Innes - #3; • George Bergen - #12; • Willie Wiebe - #23; • Jake Neufeld - #2; • Lucas George - #44; • Andrew Hopkins - #17;

• Val Mascaro - #24; • Matt Balkwill - #34; • Nick Chevalier - #11; • Brian Klassen - #10;

• Andrew Mallott - #20.

The baker’s dozen roster was selected from a league of eight teams, each made

up of an average of eight players for a total of about 64 players. The players selected for the half time three-pointer and slam dunk contests will be determined just prior to halftime of the 60-minute game. These players will also likely include members of the Cardinal Carter and Leamington District Secondary School

senior boys teams, who will face each other prior to the Express vs. Thursday Night all-star game at 5 p.m.

Spectators will also have the chance to participate in the half-time contests. How select fans will be picked to take part has yet to be determined. Spectators will also have the chance to win a variety of door prizes and

giveaways.

Tickets are available for $10 per adult and $5 per student and senior 65 years and older. Children five and under receive free admission.

Contact the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex at 519-322-2337 or visit the LKRC at 249 Sherk Street to purchase tickets.

Give your child the gift that will last a lifetime!

We’re expecting you!

organizations in the hospital, long-term care and home care sectors through an annual application process made available through the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care’s Nursing Secretariat. Linda Desjardins, Nursing Management/Victoria Street Manor, prepared the application on behalf of Sun Parlor Home.

Permanent full time and permanent part time Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) who are 55 years of age or older and providing direct patient care at the Home are eligible to participate.

The objective of the initiative is to assist organizations with the retention of late career nurses. It provides opportunities for these nurses to take on less physically demanding roles that utilize their knowledge, skills and expertise to advance projects that improve resident care and/or the quality of work environments. Part-time RNs and RPNs will be offered additional shifts paid for by the Late Career Nursing Initiative to back-fill shifts scheduled for the nurses to complete their project work.

Sun Parlor Home received funding to support three projects: • Advancing the Palliative Program with Enhanced Pain Control: Lead - Isabelle West RN, Theresa Mastronardi RPN – Management Link - Kim Everett.

• Expanding the Use of Behavioural Supports for Responsive Behaviours: Lead - Shane Vanroie, RN, Kathy Knox RN, Judy Rayner RPN – Management Link – Sharon Beggs.

• Falls Program Enhancement – Digging Deeper: Juliette Jeremias RN, Becky McNames RN, Barb Deter RN, Claire Cazabon RPN – Management Link – Sharon Beggs.

The funding made available to the Home is to cover salary replacement dollars for the time that the late career nurses participate in less physically demanding roles. Sun Parlor Home RN and RPN part-time staff will be scheduled additional shifts at straight time to replace the late career RNs and RPNs for up to 20% of the RN or RPN’s regularly scheduled work time in order to carry out the awarded projects. The Late Career Nursing Initiative started in December 2013 and will conclude by March 31, 2014.

Dodge ball tourney returning to Complex

By Bryan Jessop Voices of Youth in Community is once again having a ‘ball’ raising funds for its annual Community Camp Retreat.

The youth members and mentors of VOYC have announced their Second Annual Dodge Ball Challenge, scheduled for Saturday, March 22 at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex gymnasium. Representatives from VOYC — an ACCESS County program and partner of the Windsor-Essex United Way — decided to make an annual event of last year’s tournament after receiving consistent positive feedback on the fundraiser.

For 2014, VOYC hopes to register their maximum of 20 teams to nearly double last year’s turnout of 12. The group also hopes to double last year’s fundraising total of about $540. The group will begin seeking corporate sponsorship in early February.

The LKRC gym will once again be divided into two courts for simultaneous games. Perhaps the biggest change for the second installment of the tournament will be a more structured schedule. Last year, teams that won in the first round had to wait for other winning squads to play their following matches.

This year, organizers and VOYC mentors Scott Mosey and Steve Sullivan will map out a rotational game-by-game format prior to the day of the fundraiser, with both the schedule and standings to be displayed throughout the tournament.

The tournament will again be supported in part by participACTION Teen Challenge, which has stepped forward to pay for the entire gymnasium rental fee of just under $500. This contribution will allow for a longer tournament of 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. instead of last year’s 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., allowing for the extra teams.

“It’ll run a lot smoother this year,” said VOYC program coordinator Wanda Rodrigues. “Everyone had a lot of fun and there was a great turnout last year. We’d like to build on that for this year.”

Rodrigues hopes to see the tourney begin at 11:15 a.m. or earlier.

Like the inaugural event, this year’s fundraiser will wrap up with the presentation of the winning team and the best-dressed team. A new feature will be added following the championship match where participants 18 years of age and younger will have the entire gym floor to engage in a ‘free for all’. The

individual winner will win the ‘Last Person Standing’ award.

All three category winners will be presented with trophies.

Proceeds from last year’s tournament helped fund the VOYC Community Camp Retreat, a leadership program for youths hosted by Point Pelee National Park’s Camp Henry.

The retreat is an opportunity for participating youths to develop leadership, life and coping skills through a series of workshops and activities.

Early registration costs for the tournament are $8 per player with a minimum age of 14 and between six and eight players permitted per team. Early registration sign-up sessions were held at the LKRC lobby Jan. 16 and 18 with future sessions — also at the LKRC — scheduled for Thursdays Jan. 23 and 30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays Feb. 1 and 8 from noon to 3 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 13 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

From Feb. 14 to the deadline of March 7, registration will be $10 per person.

Registration forms can be downloaded by visiting www.accesscounty.ca under ‘Special Events’, where a list of rules can also be found. Participants unable to attend sign-up sessions at the LKRC can mail or deliver payments of cash, cheque or credit card to ACCESS at 23 Mill St., Kingsville, N9Y 1W1, phone 519-7338983 ext. 22. Dodge Ball Challenge updates can be found on the Facebook page YOVC non-profit organization.

The Voices of Youth in Community Dodge Ball Challenge included a match between the VOYC team and the Purple Cobras, two of 12 teams participating in the inaugural event, hosted by the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex on March 30 of last year.

Something fell off his 1947 Morris sedan Henry P. Dueck of Coaldale, Alberta, writes: “Here is the story of my first automobile. It was the summer of 1951, I had recently sold my Harley 45, and I had about $300 which was burning a hole in my pocket. My friends were driving cars and I felt left out.

“One Sunday afternoon, a fellow drove into our farm yard and offered to sell me his 1947 Morris sedan. It wasn’t much of a car but it had four wheels and it ran. We negotiated a price, and I think it was about $290. I made a few minor improvements and come next Sunday, I took my friends for a ride.

“Driving down Hwy #3 east of Lethbridge, an Austin A50 passed us, so I decided to overtake him and pressed the gas pedal to the floor. After a kilometre or so, I heard this terrible bang and looking out my rear view mirror, I saw something bouncing on the road. We pulled over and lo and behold, it was a connecting rod. It blew a hole through the cast aluminum oil pan and took a piece of the block with it.

“We towed the car home to the farm, and the next day I went looking for parts. They of course had to order them from England and I waited 6 months for a new oil pan and a new piston and connecting rod. The block I was able to have welded. I finally had it running again by the spring of 1952. I made a quick trip and traded it in on a 1948 Ford sedan, a beautiful car and also our honeymoon vehicle.

“Cars have been my passion. I have restored two Studebakers, a 1949 Starlight coupe and a 1962 Lark sedan as well as a 1957 IHC half-ton. I am presently working on a 1971 VW Bug. I also own a 2002 Sebring convertible as well as a Ford Windstar van.”

Henry’s 1947 Morris was built one year before the company launched its famous Morris Minor, Henry Dueck’s 1947 Morris around 1951 with brother Jack and a hired man built from 1948 to 1971 and the first British car on the family farm. to exceed a production run of over one million vehicles. ris-Oxford.

Mom

FREDA BAILEY May 9, 1926 - January 22, 2013

Dear Mom, For a long time now I have been thinking, how can I write anything, when I think back to one year ago and I still feel very sad? Then the words came to me and this is what I want to write.

Mom is just a word, and only some deserve to be called ‘Mom’. Mom, you were always there for our family, whether it was to take care of us when we were sick, or for us to have clean, ironed clothes without the luxury of an automatic wash machine and clothes dryer, or for making every occasion and holiday the best because you put so much gracious effort into it, or the love you put into baking and cooking, or your patience helping with homework, or opening your home to many relatives and friends for the day or a week or two, or for being organized so that our home ran smoothly around Dad’s work shifts, or that you never put yourself first, or for your deep love with sternness but fairness that gave me room to grow and mature so that I may become the best I could be when it was time to leave the nest. Mom, thank you for teaching me so many valuable life skills. The upbringing you and Dad gave me was a special gift. Your love and wisdom then went to your grandchildren and you deserved to be called ‘Grandma’.

So that is why every time we ended a phone call or visit I told you, “I love you and thanks for being my Mom.” Because I have so much respect and love in my heart for you, I believe you deserve to be called ‘Mom’. I am one truly blessed daughter to have had you for my mom.

Love You Forever, Barb, Darrell & Family

Nobles squeak by Lions

By Bryan Jessop The Belle River Nobles continue to find ways to beat their 2A rival Leamington Lions in WECSSAA’s 3A/4A division.

The Lions hosted the Nobles in their first game of 2014 at Heinz Arena Thursday, Jan. 9 and after the first two periods, appeared poised to solve their Lakeshore-based adversaries.

The 3-1 advantage Leamington built to start the third frame however quickly dissolved into a 4-3 deficit. The Lions appeared to deadlock the game with 0.9 seconds remaining, but the Nobles net was dislodged from its moorings by a Belle River player just before the puck was fired into the open right side of the net.

“That one hurt,” said Lions head coach Bob Clifford. “The girls played well, but a couple things slipped on us.”

Belle River started the scoring three minutes and 11 seconds into the first period when Krystin Lawrence fired a rebound past LDSS netminder Brittany Stevenson. The Lions came up with the equalizer less than two minutes later when Erin Reid took a perfect pass from Jillian Iles and after the Nobles goalie made the initial save, buried her own rebound.

Leamington netted the go-ahead goal approximately two-and-a-half minutes later when Lauryn Gradwell made a lengthy rush during a Belle River power play and was eventually stopped by the opposition’s defense. Iles however picked up the loose puck and buried it to bring a 2-1 advantage into the second period. Chelsea Hickson was credited with the

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

second assist.

The middle stanza looked as though it would end scoreless until Iles fired a slap shot just inside the blue line during a one-on-one rush that hovered just above the surface of the ice and into the Nobles’ net. Claire Phibbs and Danielle Slingerland drew assists on the goal.

Although the Lions controlled most of the first two periods, the Nobles took control in the third, burying three unanswered markers beginning with a Katherine Carter tally on a wrist shot that Stevenson partially intercepted with her glove. Lawrence took over from there, leading several rushes including a short breakaway with just over seven minutes remaining.

Baring down on Stevenson, Lawrence found the back of the Leamington net with a high wrist shot.

Lawrence struck again with just over two minutes remaining. Stevenson attempted to smother the puck with her glove after stopping a long-distance shot with her stick, but was unaware that the disc had bounced to her left just before covering it with her glove.

Lawrence stormed in and snapped the loose puck into the net for the game-winning marker.

Including a pre-season tournament, the Lions have lost three of four games against Belle River — the fourth ended in a draw.

“They’ve got our number this year, it seems,” said Clifford.

On Wednesday, the Lions dropped a 1-0 score to St. Anne, bringing their record to below .500 for the first time this season. On Monday, Jan. 20, the Leamington team faced off against Massey. Results were not available by press deadline.

The regular season ended Tuesday, Jan. 21 with a road game against Sandwich. Results were not available by press deadline.

Sharks’ defense shuts down Lakers

By Bryan Jessop The Wheatley Sharks collected two crucial points in the race for second place in the Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ loop, defeating the visiting Wallaceburg Lakers 3-1 Monday night.

The ninth- and last-place Lakers formed a somewhat effective trap against the Sharks through Wheatley’s final regular season Monday home game for 2013-14, although the guests pieced together little in the way of scoring opportunities.

During several plays in the opening 20 minutes, Wallaceburg positioned all five skaters on Wheatley’s blue line once the Sharks took possession of the puck deep in their own end.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like that before,” said Sharks head coach Ken Galerno. “Usually, it’s something you do when you’re protecting a twogoal lead with five minutes left in the game. They might have been trying to keep the score down while hoping for a few bounces. It kept the score close.”

Wheatley struck first after just under four minutes of play when Brett Bowman redirected a Zach Wilson shot from the point to change the puck’s direction just enough to beat Laker netminder Ben Vankessel.

Austin Thompson drew the other assist.

The Sharks foiled several Lakers attempts to clear their own zone, although Vankessel remained sharp while his defensemen were mostly successful in blocking the shooting lanes. Wheatley’s defensive game, however, was even more impressive, allowing only five shots in the first period and three in the second. Bowman’s goal was the only mark on the game sheet through the first

40 minutes until the Lakers took a tripping penalty a fraction of a second before the second buzzer.

The Sharks made the most of the game’s first power play, when feeds from Mike Reid and Cale Phibbs sent Scott Florence on a short breakaway that started at the Wallaceburg blue line. Florence utilized some fancy stick work to catch Vankessel off guard before sending a backhand shot into the mesh for the game winner.

The Lakers cut the lead in half just over six minutes later when Scott Lubbers led an offensive attack and sent an ice-level shot past Everett Omstead to spoil the rookie goalie’s shutout bid.

Wheatley reclaimed its two-goal cushion 42 seconds later when Thomas Virban fired a cannon-like slap shot at the visitors’ net from the point, grazing the left post before the puck found the top corner. Assists went to Florence and Tyler Liboiron.

The Sharks’ Shawn Hope reaches for a loose puck as Wallaceburg’s Mike Zottl falls to the ice during a Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ game at Wheatley Area Arena Monday, Jan. 20. The Sharks won 3-1.

The Sharks’ special teams played a sturdy game during the rare instances they were called upon, efficiently killing off their only penalty while going one for two on the power play. Wheatley remains the least penalized team in the Great Lakes league.

Although the Sharks outshot their guests 29-13, Galerno wasn’t surprised to see the game end with a mere two-goal differential.

“With the coaching change in Wallaceburg, they’ve done some good things,” he noted. “I congratulate them on how they’ve turned things around.”

The victory gave Wheatley sole possession of second place with 46 points, two ahead of Belle River, three ahead of Alvinston and four ahead of Blenheim. The Sharks have three games remaining — Sunday, Jan. 26 in Amherstburg, Tuesday, Jan. 28 in Essex and

In other Southpoint Stars hockey action…

The Community Trophy Southpoint Peewee Stars battled the South County Kingsville girls. This was a close hard fought contest; however, the Lady Stars came up a little short losing 2-0.

The Rhine Danube Southpoint Intermediate Stars faced a strong Tecumseh team in playoff action. The Lady Stars were unable to put one past a strong Tecumseh netminder and lost this game by a final score of 5-0.

The Lions Club Southpoint Intermediate Stars battled the treacherous snowy roads when they travelled to Ridgetown to take on an undefeated Kent County Fillies team. The Lady Stars lit the lamp first in this matchup as Taylor Babkirk sauced a nice pass right on the tape of Kim Goyeau’s stick, and Goyeau went in and made no mistake depositing the puck behind the Fillies goalie. The KC Fillies tied the game up a short time later. This was an extremely hard fought contest as both teams had several chances to score; however, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Shayna Augustine was again solid in net, holding the Fillies to a single tally!

Competitive hockey for 20-somethings?

Having never been even close to talented enough to play junior hockey, I’ve often wondered what goes through the minds of graduating-age players as they wrap up their tenures in the OHL, GOJHL, Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ or what have you.

BRYAN I can only assume that there are thousands of 20- and JESSOP 21-year-olds who while not being picked up by professional teams are unquestionably still good enough and ambitious enough to play competitively. While it’s great that recreational leagues can fill the void for Jessop’s many, I’m sure there are others who still long for the Journal structured and competitive nature of ‘this town versus that town’ league hockey.

It looks like the Ontario Hockey Association, the governing body of junior leagues including the local Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League and Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ loop, is working on an answer. That answer could be the revival of an intermediate level, a sort of stepping stone between junior and senior hockey.

The intermediate loop wouldn’t compete for junior players, as minimum age would be 20. Players up to age 25 would be eligible, with some exceptions for participants up to 30 — what Junior ‘C’ teams might refer to as over-over-over-over-over-agers. Over time, like the junior system, A, B and C levels/leagues could form within the intermediate group. It would stand to reason that such teams should be formed in towns that are currently void of junior franchises for the sake of avoiding competition for fans, advertisers, ice time etc.

Last month, the OHA released a bulletin that in part explained intermediate games would be scheduled on weekends, presumably to accommodate jobs that most 20-somethings must establish as top priority in their day-to-day lives.

It’s difficult to say where these intermediate teams would be formed. The concept may very well be limited, at least initially, to communities in the north of London, south of Toronto region (the association is looking to get things started for the 2014-15 season). In the not-too-distant future, it would be nice to see teams formed in our neck of the woods in hubs like Tecumseh, Kingsville and Tilbury. The pitfall of course would be the travel time required after finding enough teams to form a division… we might be talking about a division that would also include Petrolia and if possible, larger centres that could accommodate both junior and intermediate teams (Windsor, Chatham, London, etc.) as well as ‘regional’ teams like Elgin, South Middlesex, Lambton and so on.

The intended byproduct of intermediate hockey’s resurrection, as suggested, would be support of senior ‘AAA’ hockey. The league has dwindled down to six teams, partly because there’s been a severe lack of junior graduates to draw from. Many of these graduates are hesitant to join a league that includes former pro and semi-pro players and who can blame them? The lack of support for the league led to the recent downfall of the Petrolia Squires. These are among the teams that compete for the Allan Cup, a national amateur championship that once generated a great deal of fanfare from coast to coast.

I suppose it might be little more than a pipe dream, but I’d love to see a local team surface at the intermediate level. Then again, Essex-Kent is home to three Junior ‘B’ and seven Junior ‘C’ teams, not to mention a handful of players who might decide to stick around after wrapping things up with the Spitfires or University of Windsor teams. It’s just such a shame to see so many talented, entertainFARM-PET-BIRD FEED AND MORE! ing players hang up their skates because they’ve got nowhere to compete once 20 KG (44 LB) MADE IN WHEATLEY 22.7 KG (50 LB) they’re old enough to buy a case of beer south of the $ 99 $ 99 border.

The Southpoint Sun - 23

Southpoint Sun Stars win 2

Leamington’s Quinten Adams sends Bailey Stein of the Cavaliers to the ice during a Tuesday, Jan. 14 WECSSAA boys hockey game at Heinz Arena. The teams battled to a 2-2 tie.

Lions, Cavs settle for tie

On Sat. Jan. 18 the Southpoint Sun Stars played host to the B.A.D. Blazers from Aylmer. After a long losing streak that reached 6 games the Stars were able to put some offense together and get back in the win column.

Kennedy Hodgson got things started midway through the first period when she scored on a rebound, putting the Stars out front 1-0. Assisting on Kennedy’s goal were Abbey Hopper and Charly Demers.

The Blazers tied the score at the 8-minute mark of the second period and the game was back up for grabs.

The Stars responded well on this day and went up for good at the 4-minute mark of the second period when Chelsea Hickson took the puck in the slot and beat the Blazers goalie to go up 2-1. Corinne Jackson and Sarah Schincariol assisted on Chelsea’s goal.

The score remained that way until the Stars iced this one with the Blazer goalie pulled in the final seconds of the game. Bryanna Rodrigues scored on the empty net after receiving a pass from Grace Hyatt. Final score Stars 3, Blazers 1.

Alyee Church played a strong game in goal for the Stars, giving up just the one goal and allowing the Stars to get back on track. The losing streak was over and the Stars were back in the win column.

On Sun. Jan.19 the Sun Stars travelled to Ilderton to play the Jets.

The Stars opened the scoring at the 3:59 mark of the first period when Sarah Schincariol beat the Jet goaltender through a screen to go up 1-0. Assisting on Sarah’s goal were Emily Hyatt and Chelsea Hickson. That turned out to be all the scoring the Stars would need on this day. The Stars played a great road game and kept the Jets off the board and went away with a 1-0 victory.

Natalie Edmondson played a strong game in goal for the Stars, earning the shutout victory.

Next game for the Stars is Fri. Jan. 24 in Leamington at 8:15 p.m. versus Kent County.

Go Stars go!

By Bryan Jessop The first win of the 2013-14 season continues to elude the Leamington Lions boys hockey team.

For the second time in three games, the LDSS squad wrapped up a regular season contest with a 2-2 stalemate, most recently to the neighbouring Kingsville Cavaliers at Heinz Arena Tuesday, Jan. 14. The Lions held 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but couldn’t fend off Kingsville’s offense long enough to ensure a two-point performance.

Leamington also finished a Wednesday, Dec. 8 game against L’Essor in a two-all decision.

The following are the The Lions struck early against the Cavaliers, as Mason Fritsch approached the visitors’ Rhine Danube’s bowling net and released a wrist shot that found a puck-sized hole on the short side to beat goalie league scores.

ALICE

ROXI

Hi, my name is Alice and I'm a high energy, extremely curious girl looking for a new home. I am very independent and will spend most of my time exploring, searching for trouble, and playing with my toys. I will play bite if you try petting me when I'm in play mode, so be prepared. I would do best in a home without children, as I will probably try to play very rough with them.

Roxi might just be the perfect friend for you. She loves to spend time with her people friends. She especially enjoys receiving a little pampering. This girl would much rather spend time playing with people then toys and would be a nice family pet. Roxi also enjoys playing with her canine friends. Must have a great sense of humor and some time to spend with me.

monwealth Trials. These will take place in Victoria, BC, in early April. Cody’s times in the 50 and 100 breast, as well as 200 IM and 200 back, are officially the fastest male times ever in the Windsor/Essex/Kent region, regardless of club affiliation.

Maddy Lavoie also had a solid competition in Ottawa. Maddy medaled in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, as well as the 200 IM. Her times in the breast stroke, 1:16 for the 100m and 2:44 for the 200m, qualified Maddy for the Ontario Provincial Championships, the Canadian Jr. Nationals in Winnipeg and the Canadian Eastern National Swim Championships, as did her personal best swim of 2:31 in the 200m IM. But the highlight may have been a recent select camp that Cody was invited to attend this past month. It was held at the University of Western Ontario under the direction of Swim Ontario. With former Olympic athletes, top coaches and National Training staff all working together, these select swimmers were pushed to their limits.

Cody Lavoie was recognized with the prestigious Gold Cap, which very few swimmers (Cody being the only male swimmer from this region) have ever attained. The cap is awarded for swimming 25m, which is the length of a standard competition pool, underwater, using only dolphin kick, in less than 12.5 seconds.

Cody swam this in 12.21 seconds.

Next up for Cody and Maddy is the Western Ontario Championships, followed by the Eastern Nationals, Provincial Championships, and then off to Victoria for Cody for the Pan Pacific and Commonwealth Trials.

Zack Dillen scored the first two Caps goals with assists going to Luc Ribble (2), Tristen Totaro and Brett Enns. Jack Hannigan scored a bullet with assists going to Luc Ribble and Evan Loveless.

Flyers win endurance contest

By Bryan Jessop

With head-to-head winning streaks on the line, it was the Leamington Flyers who marched to the dressing room after 60 minutes with an untarnished 2014 still intact.

leave him sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Leamington had little time to savour the victory, as a road trip took them to St. Marys 24 hours later for a game against the Lincolns. The Flyers came out on top by a score of 3-0. Scott scored all three Flyers goals — including an emptynetter — following a scoreless first period. Scott’s effort marked the second time in less than a month where a Flyer posted a natural hat trick. Tony Spidalieri did the same — also with the first three goals of the game — during an 8-4 victory over Sarnia on Dec. 22.

The Flyers hosted the St. Thomas Stars for a Thursday, Jan. 16 Western Conference contest with both teams riding fourgame winning streaks. Immediately following a five-game losing streak, Leamington made it five wins in a row with a 5-1 victory over the visiting Stars.

Missing only rookie defenseman Nicklaus Pleshakov to the injured list, the Flyers took control of the game from the opening faceoff, although they were unable to put St. Thomas safely in the rear-view mirror until about the midway point of the third period. The Stars made use of a combination of both luck and skill to stay within striking distance until Nathan Opblinger came up with the first insurance goal after 49 minutes and nine seconds of play.

Both Opblinger and Chris Scott had chances to open the scoring with short breakaways seconds apart from one another, but were both denied by the St. Thomas netminder.

“We hit a post and their goalie played well. St. Thomas is a good team and they’ve been playing good hockey,” said Flyers head coach Tony Piroski.

Leamington appeared to take the 1-0 lead 11:39 into the first period with a deflected wrist shot from the point that was redirected before grazing the bottom of the Stars’ crossbar and landing in the net.

After discussing the play amongst themselves however, officials waved the goal off, explaining to the Flyers’ coaching staff that a high stick was used to redirect the puck.

The Flyers finally broke the scoreless draw with 30 seconds remaining in the opening frame. Dylan Seguin, perched in front of the Stars’ net, one-timed a pass from Alex Seguin with an ice-level snap shot that eluded Riley Brown for a 1-0 advantage at the first buzzer.

David Dalby of the Flyers looks back to his team’s defense after winning a faceoff against the Stars’ Alex Morgan during the second period of a Thursday, Jan. 16 GOJHL game at Heinz Arena. Dalby scored a third-period goal during his team’s 5-1 victory.

Reluctant to simply allow their winning streak to be broken, the Stars replied early in the second when Alex Morgan chipped a pass from John Warren past Trevor Wheaton. The stalemate ran a course of 17 seconds before Chris Scott released a knee-high wrist shot that beat Brown on the far side. Defenseman Ryan Muzzin accounted for the lone assist on the game winner.

Another even 27 minutes of play expired before Leamington struck again when Opblinger rushed toward the Stars’ net and potted a backhand shot past Brown after being set up by Mitchell Amante. The home team’s power play sprung to life from there, starting with David Dalby’s 10th of the season after he took a waist-high baseball swing at a rebounding puck that connected and sailed past the St. Thomas netminder.

Amante and Opblinger were credited with assists.

Blaine Bechard completed scoresheet entries with an ankle-high wrist shot from the point that hovered by a screened Brown with just under two minutes remaining. An assist to Opblinger was his third point of the night while Dylan Seguin also earned a helper during the five-on-four advantage.

“We played a complete game and played well in our own end,” said Piroski.

Leamington’s David Dalby is chased by Spencer Hutchinson of the Stars as he approaches the St. Thomas net under the watchful eye of goalie Riley Brown during third period action of a Thursday, Jan. 16 match at Heinz Arena. Dalby scored once in his team’s 5-1 victory.

The Flyers have been healthier than usual as of late, although the team is unsure when Pleshakov will be able to return to the lineup. The blueliner has been sidelined by two concussions that could potentially

Dylan Seguin and Colin Moore assisted on the first goal while Kyle Quick earned a helper on the second. The empty-netter was unassisted. Leamington outshot St. Marys 41-18 and went one for seven on the power play. The Lincolns were denied on all four of their man advantages.

rest of the west

On Wednesday, Jan. 15, the LaSalle Vipers pummeled St. Marys 12-5 while London blanked Lambton Shores 6-0.

Sarnia nipped London 2-1 in regulation while the Flyers were hosting the Stars. On Friday, the Chatham Maroons posted a 4-1 win against the Stars, followed by a 4-3 victory for LaSalle over Lambton Shores on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, Chatham lost 5-0 against Strathroy before returning home to defeat Lambton Shores 9-2 on Sunday.

The first period intermission of a Thursday, Jan. 16 Leamington Flyers game against St. Thomas featured a five-minute Southpoint Minor Hockey Timbits mite orange game. The teams were split into two teams of orange and gray in what turned out as a scoreless draw.
