Leamington vies for more harness race dates

By Sheila McBrayne Leamington’s four late season horse races last October attracted double the attendance expected and may have helped seal the deal to bring harness racing back to the Leamington Fairgrounds.

Tom Bain, Essex County Warden and a board member of the Lakeshore Horse Racing Association, said the group is seeking as many race dates as possible from the 60 dates that will be split between Lakeshore, Hiawatha in Sarnia and Desden raceways.

An initial meeting was held between the three raceways with provincial representative John Wilkinson to discuss this year’s schedule and funding. Last year’s races did not start until October, but 12,000 people attended the four races. The Ontario Racing Commission asked the three groups to come up with their own split of potentially 60 race dates.

“We’ve been told there are 60 dates. We’re meeting today [March 25] with two representatives from each track to divide the number of dates,” said Bain. “I’m just guessing, but I’d think Sarnia would take half (30) and Dresden and Lakeshore would split the other 30.

Dresden has said they only want 13 dates, so it looks like we’d have about 17 race dates,” said Bain.

The agreed upon division of dates will be presented to the Ontario Racing Commission which is expected to confirm the dates by April 1.

Liovas wins The Voice Live competition in Mexico

By Sheila McBrayne What did you do for your Spring Break? Leamington’s Dimitria Liovas went on a family vacation to Hard Rock Hotel Rivera Maya in Mexico and came back a singing sensation on CMT. The Liovas family – Jim and Susan and children Dimitria and Jamie – stayed at Hard Rock Hotel in Rivera Maya, Mexico, and while at their resort, Dimitria entered a singing competition from All Access Experiences, The Voice Live. The competition consisted of professional singers and as well as visitors staying at the hotel. Past contestants from The Voice, the Swon Brothers from Team Blake, were the judges/mentors for this production. There were three rounds to the competition.

“At first I just thought it was a Karaoke Night…

It was amazing! It was a dream come true,” said Dimitria. “I sang with the Swon brothers and helped the great charity – Little Kids Rock,” she added.

The first round was open to all trying out. “The second round consisted of eight people and whoever wanted you to be on their team will turn their chair for you – similar to how the real Voice on television works,” explained Dimitria’s father Jim Liovas.

The last round was the final performance, which determined who would win the grand prize – a trip back to any Hard Rock resort in the world, all exclusive 5 nights for two at a value of $5,000.

“After Dimitria passed through the second round, both brothers turned around and were competing to make her pick

their team,” stated Jim Liovas. After choosing Team Colton, she got to practice with their band before the final show (third round).

Dimitria Liovas won the final round at the end, singing “Rolling In The Deep”

by Adele. “She was a VIP the whole week. She was allowed in all the restricted areas for the country singers… She was kind of a big shot there,” said her father.

“No matter what, everyone was so nice to you all the time. It was really great to practice with the band and just the whole thing was a dream come true. Winning was a bonus,” said Dimitria.

Fourteen-year-old Dimitria Liovas from Leamington, Ontario, Canada, defeated the other final contestants who were older and more experienced singers.

All proceeds from the event were donated to charity – Little Kids Rock. The competition was aired last week on Country Music Television (CMT).

Dimitria, a Grade 9 stu-

dent from Cardinal Carter Secondary School, has performed in school plays and sang the lead in a Queen of Peace Catholic Elementary School production.

The Southpoint Sun - 3

New pricing structure for mailing letters takes effect March 31 As announced in December, Canada Post is introducing a new tiered pricing structure for domestic and international letters.

On March 31, the price of Permanent (or “P”) stamps bought in booklets, coils and panes will be $0.85 per stamp, up from the current $0.63. “P” stamps are valid on standard letters weighing 0-30 grams mailed within Canada. A $0.22 stamp will be available as make-up postage for 0-30 g letters for those customers who wish to use previously purchased $0.63 stamps. Permanent stamps, identified with the letter P in place of a value, will continue to be accepted even if they were purchased at a lower price prior to the adjustment.

Customers who wish to purchase a single stamp will pay $1.

For commercial customers, the new pricing structure will be adjusted as follows: • Businesses that use postage meters or indicia will pay a new discounted commercial rate of $0.75 (per domestic letter 0-30 g).

• Incentive Lettermail customers who meet volume and preparation requirements will benefit from significantly lower prices, at $0.70 for Machineable Lettermail and $0.69 for Presorted Lettermail (per letter 0-30 g).

• The pricing for U.S., international and oversized Lettermail will increase, falling in line with the new levels. However, the pricing for these services will not include uniquely differentiated prices for single stamps.

Canada Post is also introducing some temporary and permanent measures for small businesses and charities. From March 31 to December 31, 2014, a 5% discount will be available for VentureOne cardholders who purchase a minimum of 300 Permanent stamps, in coils of 100 or more, in a single transaction. Meter customers will receive a 5% rebate on their Lettermail postage purchases during that time period up to a maximum rebate of $250.

Canada Post is also permanently lowering the minimum volume requirements on some key products. This will provide small businesses and charities with access to lower postage rates for the distribution of their advertising and other materials. Details can be found at canadapost.ca/notice Lettermail volumes have fallen steadily since 2007, and that trend continues as more and more Canadians turn to digital and mobile alternatives.

With a mandate to serve all 15.5 million addresses in Canada – a number that rises on average by 170,000 addresses a year, Canada Post must remain financially self-sufficient.

Some things to consider when planning your Estate: 1. Do you have a pension plan or RRSP? 2. Do you own property on which you’ve been claiming depreciation?

3. Do you own anything that has increased in value since you acquired it?

4. Do you own an interest in a business?

5. Do you own property outside of Canada?

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, you may be hit with death taxes.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 8:00 am - 8:00 pm

1. You will owe income tax on everything that has been growing tax-deferred in your registered retirement plans. This can be postponed by transferring the assets to your spouse at your death, but the Canada Revenue Agency will get there share in the end when your spouse dies.

304 Robson Rd., Leamington 519.326.4231 ext 23

2. If you own rental properties and have been claiming the depreciation over the years, some of this depreciation will be recaptured and become fully taxable. Also, any increase in the values of the properties will be taxed as capital gains.

3. The summer cottage, if not declared as a principle residence, will be taxed on the capital gains of the appreciated value.

4. Shares of a business will be subject to taxes on the increase in value from the time they were purchased.

5. Having assets held in the U.S. in excess of $60,000 USD would require you to file a U.S. Estate Tax Return and you may be subject to U.S. Estate Tax.

The World’s Largest Natural Wonder Our pets certainly have it made. They lounge around on a warm lap or in the sunshine that’s streaming in onto the floor. Oh what I would give, to curl up in the sun to warm up right now. I guess nothing is really stopping me, but for whatever reason, I choose not to.

Recently, I saw a great video about stress. Personally, I am beginning to think the word ‘stress’ is overrated. People are stressed from too much workload, or no work, and we are making it so that children aren’t required to do anything that causes them too much stress, i.e. the public speaking contests. I feel myself getting stressed about the fact that I am stressed occasionally! We hear over and over about the detrimental side effects stress has on our health.

The moment before we are born, our tiny hearts race a little faster.

This may be the first time that our bodies reacted to a stressful situation, but in fact this action is preparing us for the challenges of life. In all honesty, if I had known at that moment the extent of the challenges that awaited me, I may have curled up where it was safe and warm for just a little longer.

Most of us who live in the Western Hemisphere don’t have to sleep in the wild where dangers lurk in the dark, nor do we need to hunt and gather our food daily; however, our hearts still race and our blood pumps when we are up against situations that make us anxious. We hold our breath and hope this stress doesn’t kill us someday. Are our bodies really reacting the way they should?

Our body is doing exactly what it should do to help us face challenges.

Preparing for a presentation at work or school, meeting a new customer, taking on a new job, even simply living our daily lives can cause our senses to sharpen. If we truly recognize how our body

is rising to the challenge, we can choose to work with it or tense up and work against it.

This time of year, most of us in the Northern Hemisphere are craving the warmth of the sunlight.

Maybe it is our body telling us we are in need of some Vitamin D. Sure, we may get it through a supplement all winter long, but nothing beats the real rays. Perhaps my animals are smarter than me, they listen to their bodies and get what they need, and by the sound of their purring it feels good too.

We may be losing faith in the world around us, but by keeping the faith in our body and its capabilities to fight disease and react properly in stressful situations, our days will be easier. Listen to when it tells you to curl up in the sunlight for a rest, soak up some ‘D’ and boost your immune system in a wonderful way!

Parts of the community are neglected

Editor; We are retired and now living our second winter in Leamington. We found there are a lot of little things (some are big) in this community, which seems to attract retirees from the more snow-rich parts of Ontario, which are neglected.

But the Town Council of Leamington is seemingly not tuned in with the everyday people. To name just a few things where the Municipality is holding back or ignoring the immediate needs and wants of ordinary and retired citizens: 1. The sewage smell from the sewage plant, west of the sewage plant on Peter Ave. and Bennie Ave. The $30K consulting fee to Dillon resulted in delaying the $175K money to be put into next year’s budget, triggered by the closing of the Heinz Factory.

2. The Town of Leamington has very few sidewalks, especially in newer constructed neighborhoods! Where are your citizens to go for (safe) walks, especially in the winter time? The 2013-2014 winter happened to be an unusually fierce winter, emphasizing the need for places to walk outdoors. Is there a plan to have sidewalks incorporated into any older and new subdivisions?

3. The town’s snow removers barricaded the Seacliff Park entrances by piling the snow in front of the park entrances when clearing the side road. The park is used for snow dumping and USELESS for people to use. There were barricades of snow, but tracks in the snow behind the barricades show that there is plenty of activity from people using the park for ‘wading’ through snow and even kids enjoying some of the playground!

Parts of the community are neglected (Continued from Page 4) the Seacliff Park access was so poor that we frequently went to the neighboring Municipality of Kingsville and enjoying their park. It had the snow removed regularly, and a few days after all snow removing activity subsided they make a nice 6’-wide walkway clearance to be able to go for a walk.

And most of all, they put up a Port-O-Potty next to their washroom facility! Let’s put one Port-O-Potty at the Marina and one at the Seacliff Park during the time the permanent washrooms are closed for cold season.

5. The majority of roads in Leamington are in need of repair. There are a few new paved roads, but in the big picture they are only adding up to patchwork. Even some of the newly paved sections have sewage covers recessed deep below the surface and are like a pothole.

People’s cars will be in need of extra repairs to their car springs and suspensions! Is there anybody overseeing the roadwork in this town, to check that the work is being done to a good standard?

6. Dog park for unleashed dogs. All other dog parks in the neighboring municipalities are fenced in for safety,

for better control of picking up dog waste. Leamington supplies “doggy bags” and a drum. In the summer time it is not SAFE for dogs to be exposed to the high grass and the ticks which can be

serious and cause health problems. Let’s put up an area and fence it in for everybody’s safety and not just collect fees for dog licences!

Community rallies to help Tate family

By Sheila McBrayne The Leamington community has banded together once again to help a young family whose lives have been challenged by cancer.

Seventeen years ago Ian Tate met Darlene Purcel at a wedding in Leamington. She was a friend of the bride and he was a friend of the groom. It took 10 years for Ian to eventually ask Darlene out when their paths crossed again in Toronto, but the rest as they say, is history. The couple, who reside in Oshawa, were married four years ago and have two children, Duncan 2½ and Harley three months.

Darlene is the daughter of the late Percy Pursel and Liz and Bill Chaplin of Leamington.

Ian, 42, was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor in January of this year. But to know the story we need to back up one year. In January of 2013 Ian lost his computer programing job when his position was outsourced to India. He spent the year at home caring for his son Duncan. In December he found a new job, which would start on January 6, 2014.

Darlene was now on maternity leave after having daughter Harley in December. “At the time, we thought – perfect timing – he was home to watch Duncan; then he was starting work and I’d be home on maternity leave… On New Year’s Eve we even said that 2014 was going to be our year,” said Darlene.

That all changed on January 18 with Ian’s diagnosis – stage 4, glioblastoma. He had a craniotomy on February 5 to remove the tumor. Two weeks later an infection required two more surgeries to clear the area, which meant re-opening the skull.

With the infection cleared, Ian started chemotherapy and radiation on Monday, March 17. Ian’s chemo is in an oral pill form, so it’s not covered by Ontario Health Insurance

Plan (OHIP). “We have to be pre-approved for the drug. So, we pay $2,000 out of pocket before the benefits kick in,” said Darlene. Radiation treatments will last for six weeks and the chemo will continue for six to twelve months after radiation.

The first of three fundraising events was held on Friday, March 21 at St. John’s Anglican Church. Family, friends and neighbours welcomed the Tate family at a Chili Night where donations were accepted.

The second is a spaghetti dinner on April 26 at the Wheatley Legion and on May 4 there will be a concert at Leamington United Church put on by Justin Latim and featuring Andrew Taves, Dale Butler, Justin and the Timeless Tunes at Leamington United Church.

“We are blown away by all the good will and compassion that is pouring out to us. You never see yourself on the receiving end, until you are… I’ve been in Toronto for 20 years and you just don’t see that there. Small towns really care. I really want to make sure that our gratitude is known,” said Darlene.

The Southpoint Sun - 7

Celebrating World Down Syndrome Day Special to the Southpoint Sun by Karen Pickle March 21st, 2014 on World Down Syndrome Day we are celebrating our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, friends and family members - all who were born with Down syndrome. We are celebrating who they are, each and everyone one. Each is individual and offers so much for the world to see. They go to school, hang out with friends, take dance lessons, music lessons, some are involved with sports, have boy friends or girl friends, get jobs and so much more.

My son Andrew was born in 1991 with Down syndrome.

Andrew has many medical and intellectual challenges associated with Down syndrome, but he does not give up because of these challenges. Andrew graduated from Cardinal Carter High school in 2012 and has completed the Life Skills Program at St. Clair College (his graduation will be June 2014). Without a doubt I can honestly say, Andrew truly enjoyed all of his years of high school and many people gravitated to him because he was so outgoing and has an infectious smile.

Like others, Andrew has many goals and achieving these goals are important not only to him, but to our family as well. It’s amazing how Andrew overlooks his challenges and keeps moving forward until he has accomplished what he sets out to do. It is so important that we work together as a family to help him achieve his goals so that he feels good about what he is doing. Now we know that not everyone can be a “rocket scientist” but everyone has dreams and goals to achieve and if we work with Andrew’s ABILITIES, achievement and satisfaction can be attained. I know this and I see it every time he sets out to do something. He has this passion that just shines right through him. You can see it in his smile and his eyes, right down to his soul. You cannot help but LOVE him and LOVE who he is. What he offers is so pure, unconditional and from his heart.

Andrew kept telling us that he wanted to save money for college, so we worked together and figured out a way for him to earn some of his own money. Discussing ideas from selling lemonade to working at a local golf club, our family helped him to start a business called “Group Hug Apparel” that consists of clothing with really cool and funky designs

on them created by the one and only “Andrew”.

This made Andrew feel so good about himself.

Andrew has a real love for music and his first design was a stick figured character holding drum sticks with the saying “Rock On” underneath of him and then it changed to “Be Strong Rock On” after he watched a show about Sick Kids. Like I mentioned earlier, Andrew has been in hos- Karen Pickle and Andrew Banner. pital many times and he has seen other children sick and in need of medical care and Andrew instantly said he wanted to help the sick kids from his shirt sales. This young man of mine, that I was given to take care of and help guide him through life and all of it’s obstacles, taught me a great lesson that day. He taught me that no matter what we are handed in our life we always have room to help others! Andrew put all of his challenges aside and wanted to help others.

This is how he lives his life every day! From the very first t-shirt printed everyone loved what Andrew was doing.

He was achieving his goals and helping others. Andrew has donated over $20,000 from his t-shirt sales and continues to make a difference not only in his life, but others as well.

Now, we are human and there are times when our family needs to find that deep inner strength because of medical issues that have kept Andrew hospitalized. We would, and still do, come together for a family group hug. A “Group Hug” that would give us the strength to deal with whatever was put in front of us. A “Group Hug” that wiped away tears; a “Group Hug” that keeps us focused and strong for Andrew and for ourselves.

With all of this family mushiness and love happen-

Karen Pickle and Andrew Banner show off their socks for World Down Syndrome Day.

ing of course we needed to call Andrew’s business “Group Hug Apparel”. This love remains front and center every day and it needs to stay front and center for years to come. This is why our family celebrates World Down Syndrome Day and will also “Rock Your Socks” for Andrew.

Thank you to everyone that follows Andrew and what he does. We love you all! http://grouphugapparel.com/be-strong-rock-on-documentary/

By C. Scott Holland It’s a one-of-a-kind event that has occurred every year for the last five years. The CJSP/CHYR reunion of former station employees and staff is the only one of its kind to gather once a year.

Leamington’s original station CJSP went on the air in mid-February 1955 and was founded by a small group of investors who would set the station on its course to become not only a great radio station on the AM and later FM dial, but one that catered to the needs of the community and surrounding region.

The station’s newscasts centered around events from around the world, in Canada and in Leamington and what was known as Mersea Township. Its popular music format captured the flavor of top artists as well as promising Canadian and local acts.

Broadcasts aired originally from sunrise to sunset on the 710 AM dial before a 1967 CRTC decision permitted the station to broadcast at night on a frequency just slightly to the right of their daytime one, as well as having more power. Programs could often be heard in the US and eastern Canada.

With a strong string of on-air personalities, the station was a dominant market player in the 1960s through to the late 1990s. Names like John Garton, Art Gadd, Lou Tomasi, Don Brown, Craig Cole and Chuck Reynolds plus Wayne McLean, Heidi Hotz and Dick Hildebrandt would all be become familiar to area listeners.

Special presentations of ball games and hockey games, plus ethnic programs aired which on Sundays, catered to the backgrounds of people throughout Essex County.

Reunion organizer Chuck Reynolds (a.k.a. Paul BunnettJones) has seen this event swell from just a handful of former employees to well over 40 people who attended the one in 2013.

“It just keeps growing every year it is held,” Bunnett-Jones said. And like last year’s, he’s expecting another large turnout.

Flyers heading to western conference finals after win over london

201 4

By C. Scott Holland

The Leamington Flyers shake hands with the London Nationals after eliminating the defending Sutherland Cup champions from the 2nd round of GOJHL playoffs last Thursday. The Flyers now face the Chatham Maroons in the Western Conference finals.

After battling it out in several close games, including two double overtime affairs, the Leamington Flyers managed to drive the final nail into the coffin of the defending Sutherland Cup champions, the London Nationals. As 973 fans of both teams watched, Leamington used a single first period powerplay goal to jump into the lead and never had much of a real threat from London.

Less than 24 hours had elapsed since the end of game 4 in which the Flyers received a powerplay goal from David Dalby in the second overtime to nip London 2-1.

All the scoring that took place in Wednesday’s matchup came in the second period. London’s Jeff Bauer spotted London a 1-0 lead at 6:50 and Leamington countered with a powerplay goal at 16:33 when Alex Seguin and Mitchell Amante hooked up with Tony Spidalieri who netted the goal.

It remained even through the third and first OT frame. At 4:50 of the second overtime, London’s Ryan Wells was called for a two minute roughing minor. The penalty set the stage for Dalby who pumped the eventual game-winner at 5:08.

A total of 10 minors plus one major and two 10-minute misconducts hurt the Nats as the Flyers went four for nine on the powerplay while holding London to none on five chances.

Thursday night’s fireworks began on a powerplay near the seven minute mark of the first when Chris Scott and Nathan Opblinger combined to set up Kyle Quick’s blistering left point shot which bounced off starter Jacob Riley’s pads and bounded over the red line for a 1-0 Flyers’ lead. London had two chances to even the score but failed to notch a goal. Then at 17:44 Amante went on

a breakaway and seemed to flip the puck high into the top of the net but it wasn’t a goal.

After escaping the first frame with a 1-0 lead, the Flyers got a break when London’s Matt Fuller received a five-minute major plus a game misconduct for a head check. The Flyers powerplay units went to work and notched two man-advantage goals as Dalby and Amante fed Opblinger who popped a quick goal from the right side at 2:48 after which Dylan Seguin found Alex Seguin open on the left side and Seguin parked the puck into the London net. Down 3-0 and right on the heels of Leamington’s tally, Kyle Robinson was awarded a penalty shot and made GOJHL history by scoring his second penalty shot goal of the series. He went in on Austyn Roudebush and backhanded the goal into the net’s right corner.

Undisturbed by London breaking the shutout, the Flyers went back to work and at 8:13 Spidalieri and Alex Seguin set up Dylan Seguin whose right side screen shot blasted past Riley. One second after a two minute head check penalty elapsed to London’s Mike Whaley, J.P. Grineau and Colin Moore slickly moved the rubber to David Dalby who flipped it into the London cage for a 5-1 lead. The Flyers completed all the scoring they would need on the night at 15:37. While on another powerplay drive Cale Allen and Chris Scott manoeuvred the puck to Kyle Quick who zipped a right side screen shot to make it 6-1.

The third period was extremely tame as there was one penalty meted out to each squad. The Flyers controlled the puck throughout most of the period and the two teams each had 11 shots on net. By the time the final buzzer sounded London knew their

reign as Sutherland Cup champs was over.

“Staying disciplined was the key for us,” said Flyers head coach Tony Piroski of their series win over London. “Our hard work and tenacity took them off their game and we capitalized on our powerplays.”

The Flyers will now face Chatham in the Western Conference finals. The Flyers won 4 of 6 their meetings in the regular season including a controversial game on December 5th that Chatham had originally won but the Flyers were awarded the 2 points at the end of the regular season because it was determined that Chatham had dressed too many import players in that game.

“Chatham has been the odds on favourite to win our league and the Sutherland Cup” Piroski said. “But I can promise that we’ll be ready to battle Thursday night.”

Flyers captain Dylan Seguin said the players are ready to get this series started. “It’s going to be a good series but it’s definitely going to be a battle. Game 1 is the most important and we need to take advantage of having home ice.”

notes

It's the Flyers first trip to the Western Conference finals since 1996-97 when they lost to Strathroy in the seventh game.

Chatham’s Mark Davis and coaching staff plus GM Bill Cumming attended game 5 last Thursday.

Chatham had eliminated LaSalle 4-0 the previous night. London goalie Jacob Riley made 220 saves in five for an incredible average of 44 shots per game; Austyn Roudebush stopped 131 of 141.

BUSINESS PROFILE BUSINESS PROFILE BUSINESS PROFILE

HUB International Deeply Rooted In Our Community HISTORY HUB International has had its roots firmly planted in our community starting in January 1977 when Rick Gulliver opened Gulliver Insurance Brokers. The first office, fondly referred to as “the chicken shack”, was opened at the corner of Erie Street and Seacliff Drive in a former fried chicken take-out restaurant. As the business started to grow so did the need for more space so Gulliver Insurance moved to a location on Victoria Street and then to an office on John Street. When they outgrew that location, the office moved to the Princess Centre where it has been for the past 20 years.

In 1998 Gulliver’s was one of 11 Canadian brokerages that merged to form HUB International Limited and less than a year later HUB began trading on the Toronto Stock exchange. In 2001 the corporate headquarters moved to Chicago, Illinois and the following year they began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2007 HUB went back to being a private company and today there are more than 500 employees who are shareholders.

Rick Gulliver played a pivotal role in the formation of HUB International and has been actively involved in its

LADY

Hello, my name is Angel and I'm a beautiful lab husky mix who came to the shelter because my people weren't taking care of me properly. I can slowly build up to being my normal, active self once my heart is ready to handle it. I am a very nice girl but can be a little nervous at times. I'm very sweet and friendly and enjoy being around people most of the time. I previously lived outdoors, so I may need some time to learn how wonderful life can be inside!

Hello, my name is Lady and I came to the shelter as stray with my belly full of babies!! During my short stay, I got comfy and had my babies. I went to a foster home shortly after and was able to raise my babies in peace and quiet. They've all been adopted already and now it's my turn! I'm an independent, outgoing girl and I prefer to do my own thing. I enjoy affection, but on my terms. I would do best in an adult only home please.

Tickets are still available online or at the gallery. Tickets include a unique, hand-created masquerade mask designed by local artists and the students of Katherine Burton’s Art Works classes, a complimentary glass of wine, food, entertainment and great fun. On display are the Breaking Barriers and Leamington Stands Strong exhibitions.

All proceeds from this event will help to support the South Essex Arts Association/ Leamington Arts Centre, a charitable not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating, sustaining and celebrating the arts in the community.

Early spring jobs in the garden Early spring is a good time to be removing tree guards or burlap winter protection from trees and shrubs. This will allow enough air movement around the base of the trunk that can cause rotting on the bark.

Rake the lawn, removing any dead growth, leaves or BILL other winter debris. This will also encourage air circulation PLUMB and growth.

Relocating trees and shrubs during the dormant period is best, before they begin to leaf out.

In the Apply dormant oil spray to fruit trees, magnolias, craback yard... bapples and shrubs, especially euonymus, to control scale and any overwintering insects. This should be applied when the buds are swelling but the leaves have not opened. Temperatures should be between 40º-70ºF (5º-21ºC).

Don’t be in a rush to remove mulch or trim evergreen plants until temperatures are reliably warm.

Early spring is a good time to cut back the ornamental grasses, about 10-12 inches from the ground.

Just because it is a sunny day doesn’t mean you can go out and start digging, especially after this long, cold winter. Digging wet soil can damage the structure. Wait for the right moisture content. Squeeze a handful of soil into a ball and dropping it – if it doesn’t break up when it hits the ground it is still too wet. Keep in mind that sandy soil will break up easier than clay.

Once the planting area is cleared, add several inches of compost and a standard fertilizer mix.

If this area is a first-time bed and the soil is poor or compacted you may have to double dig the area, repeating the compost application.

If you’re like me, the first warm, sunny day you are outside ready to start. Even though it may feel overwhelming, it is better than shoveling snow!

Fertile Fields to Killing Fields Tilbury woman’s life story of global adventures

By Sheila McBrayne To say that Millie and Tom Clark have been around the world and back would be, well, it would be true!

Fertile Fields to Killing Fields, A Journey From Rural Ontario to the Battlefields and Burning Oil Fields of Kuwait, is a memoir by Millie Clark spanning her 30 years of military and Foreign Affairs adventures across the globe.

Mildred Clark (nee Vint-

er) of rural Tilbury joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1964 where she served three years at various assignment placements including HMCS Cornwallis, HMCS Stadacona US Naval Base, Key West and HMCS Shelburne as a WREN and met her husband Tom. “As 1966 was ringing in, Tom was giving me a diamond engagement ring. Soon life would take a turn and my travels would take me, now with Tom, from the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia to

the distant Northwest Territories and eventually around the world,” Millie writes of her engagement.

From 1966 to 1981, Millie would be a military wife following her husband from Inuvik, NWT, to Ladner, BC, then Masset, BC, Gander, Newfoundland, and back to Ottawa.

Now a young and growing family of four (two sons, Jim and David) the Clarks were working for External Affairs for the Government of Canada. Their first assignment took them to London, England for three years with the Canadian High Commission. While Tom worked at Canada House, Millie too was hired as an assistant on the Patriation Task Force.

The Clarks were in England during the IRA bombings as Irish nationalists were campaigning to end British control in Northern Ireland.

The Clarks moved on to their next assignment in the People’s Republic of China from 1984 – 1986.

The couple was working for the Canadian Embassy in Beijing. Millie worked with officers associated with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

In March of 1986 the couple received a telegram offering positions in Moscow.

Clarks lived and worked for Canada in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. The Canadian Embassy in Russia was a few blocks from the Kremlin.

The Clarks returned to the Ottawa area where they worked at the External Affairs office there, but they soon found Ottawa and office life drab compared to their foreign adventures.

Tom was called to Cyprus and Millie was called to Saudi Arabia. First, in Riyadh, then on to Bahrain.

This was during Operation Desert Storm and the Canadian External Affairs office was a hub of activity. She recalls the question of a Canadian reporter at the time who asked, “How does it feel to be in an area where the greatest war of all time might take place?”

More than 5,100 Canadian military personnel were deployed to the Gulf region between August 1990 and October 1991. All had returned home safely.

From here Millie went to Kuwait for her final three years of service with External Affairs. Here she dodged booby-traps through the Killing Fields and watched as oil wells burned in black clouds across the fields. The last oil well fire had been extinguished in November, 1991. Tom and Millie came home to Tilbury in January 1994. They have resided in Millie’s parent’s home since then and have settled back into a quiet retired life after witnessing history around the world for 30 years.

The book Fertile Fields to Killing Fields, A Journey from Southern Ontario to the Battlefields and Burning Oil Fields of Kuwait is a must-read book. In Wheatley, the book is available at the Wheatley Legion, Branch 324. It is available in Tilbury for $20 at J & D Bowling Alley, Di’s Cut & Curl and at the Tilbury License Bureau. In Leamington, the book is available

Millie Clark holds up a copy of her book, Fertile Fields to Killing Fields.

at Setterington’s Gifts & Books at 13 Russell Street.

You can also call the Clarks at 519-682-9671 and they will deliver to the Wheatley/ Leamington area.

During her years in service Millie wrote many letters home to her mother in Tilbury. “Mother saved all my letters that I had sent her over the years… I really started putting the book together for my grandkids,” said Millie. “Then others became interested in our stories, so we self published the book to make available to the public,” she added.

About Fertile Fields to Killing Fields: “Before women were a major component of the military, a young girl pulled up her roots from the family farm to join the Royal Canadian Navy. Follow her through basic training, eventually becoming part of an elite group of service women tracking Soviet submarines during the Cold War. “The RCN provided the opportunity to live on both coasts and the high Arctic of Canada, but it was an exciting second career in the Foreign Services that took

her around the world. Senior diplomats make headlines but those working behind the scenes are also representatives of Canada abroad.

A year after graduating as a secretary she was serving at the High Commission in England as part of a team working to patriate the Canadian Constitution. Vivid accounts of both work and leisure time in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain shed light on life as an expatriate. Her career culminated after serving as secretary to the ambassador in Kuwait before, during and after the Gulf War. Walk through the deserted streets of war-ravaged Kuwait City, experience the sights and silence of the killing fields and feel the searing heat from burning oil wells.

“Visit Cyprus, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, India, Italy, Inner Mongolia, Israel, Syria, Jordan and Hong Kong. Glimpse regions in China and the USSR that were far from typical tourist attractions.

Travel Canada and the world with a farm girl from southern Ontario who had a front row seat while history was unfolding.”

“For Aubri” family skate and home & garden trade show this weekend The Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex will be a hub of activity on Friday, Mar. 28 beginning with skating “For Aubri” at Heinz Arena from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

The event is a Family Skate, open to the public, where people can make donations to benefit Aubri’s Angels and local families in need. There will be musical entertainment, a magic show by Ron the Magician, and silent auction. Also, taking place is Brave and Bald for Aubri where anyone wishing to get sponsors to have their heads shaved will have the opportunity to do so at the fundraiser. Aubri’s Angels t-shirts, stickers, etc., will be available.

Aimee Omstead, who is organizing “For Aubri”, commented: “We are really encouraging everyone in Leamington and surrounding areas to come out and attend ‘For Aubri’ on Mar. 28 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. It has turned into a celebration not only of support for Aubri Andre and others in need, but of what it means to live in our community! The Family Skate will include a silent auction, entertainment by Ron the Magician and CLaroL the Clown, along with music by local musicians and a DJ! The event is a fun, affordable evening for families as it is by donation only and is promising to be a wonderful display of encouragement and love!”

Leamington’s Home & Garden Tradeshow also kicks off Friday night, Mar. 28, with free entry from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.

The show continues Sat. Mar. 29 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun. Mar. 30 from 12 noon-5 p.m. with unique vender displays, home building, home décor and gardening ideas. There are also lots of fabulous prizes to be won including the grand prize of a patio makeover and second prize of a wicker patio set.

Bring the entire family to these great events and show your support for Leamington Stands Strong!

Brenda Fischer, organizer of Leamington’s Home & Garden Tradeshow, stated: “People can come out and attend both events on the Friday night. We have a spacious free parking lot, so people can take part in the fundraiser family skate on the Heinz Ice and then proceed to the Home & Garden Showcase taking place in the gym till 9 p.m. We are excited to host these events and with the Leamington Stands Strong group backing both these events, we decided to cross-promote the weekend to create a positive, unified approach.”

“Leamington’s Community Complex is always a hub of energy and activity!” added Fischer.

The organizers share a consistent message and want to raise awareness of all things local. To show their support for local friends at Heinz, 800 tickets have been given for free entry to the Home & Garden Tradeshow for the weekend of Mar. 28-30.

Pro-life youth conference a success On Saturday, March 22, the second annual pro-life youth conference was held at St. John’s Hall in Woodslee. About 50 youth from Windsor and Essex County attended. The theme was “Shout Out For Life”. This free event was sponsored by Leamington Area Right to Life.

The featured speaker was 25-year-old Jonathon Van Maren, the Communications Director for the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform. Jonathon ran Simon Fraser University Students for Life as president from 2009-2010. He has given numerous presentations all across North America.

Other speakers included Mary and Nick Fournier who explained the meaning and benefits of chastity, Helen Lewis who talked about the 40 Days for Life Campaigns in Leamington, and Sr. Linda Dube who spoke of Our Lady of Guadalupe Home in Windsor which serves women who are in crisis due to an unplanned pregnancy but have no place to live due to unfortunate circumstances or lack of support.

The day was fun-filled as well as educational. Musical entertainment was provided by Kristian Budzik, Patryk and Natalia Glaz, members of the band ‘Cantate Deo’.

The youth are making a difference. They are a significant and essential part of the pro-life movement. Plans for a third Annual Pro-Life Conference for youth 13 to 25 years, of all denominations, are underway for next year.

fast delivery anywhere in Ontario and Quebec. The 2570 Ouellette Ave. showroom is packed with furniture for the bedroom, living room, dining room and family room, plus mattresses manufactured by the Riley family's recently opened Tecumseh mattress factory.

Anna’s husband Winston Riley and son Allan Riley are also involved in the business venture.

Riley’s has been in the Windsor area for 23 years. The original showroom on Ouellette Avenue has been serving the furniture and mattress needs of the area since 1991 with quality furniture at low prices.

Riley’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Anna Riley decided to bring the mattress manufacturing to their new home in Tecumseh. The 34,000 square foot factory opened recently, employing 10 fulltime local residents. The factory manufactures custom mattresses. “From cooling gels to memory foam, each mattress has different properties for each individual need,” said Riley. She explains that sleep is so important to overall health, “and a custom mattress allows you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep - in deep sleep - longer,” she said.

"Because we come from a manufacturing background, our focus is on

quality workmanship. It's in our blood," Anna says. Riley’s abides by the highest industry standards in producing top quality mattresses with added comfort.

“At Riley’s we believe in a long-term strategy by investing time and resources in researching for the innovative mattress of the future,” she added.

Riley believes that the manufacturing industry can return to the Windsor area. “There is a comeback in manufacturing. It’s small, but we want to stay local and add to the local economy,” said Riley. “We can bring back manufacturing and make better products made right here. We have a chance for job creation and to fuel the local economy,” added Riley.

Riley’s new mattress manufacturing factory is working with the Research and Development department at University of Waterloo, as well as with the Smart Textile Industry, which is a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of non-woven textiles for technical applications.

“We have to help ourselves. People need jobs here. We have highly educated and talented young people who leave the community. We want them to stay. The new mattress factory will be state-of-the-art technolgy,” she said.

A look inside our manufacturing facilty.

Currently, the factory is producing traditional coil mattresses. “We’re waiting for new equipment worth half a million and our staff is going to Atlanta for training on the new equipment next month,” said Riley.

We manufacture handcrafted quality mattresses here in Tecumseh!

The Southpoint Sun - 19

The Feb. 13 public observance included an estimated 11,000 people forming a human chain approximately 2.5 km long encircling what had been the hardest hit area of the city of Dresden when it was bombed Feb. 13-14, 1945.

Sand was spread on the ground so that hundreds, if not thousands, of candles could be placed near the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in memory of 25,000 people who were killed when Dresden was bombed on Feb. 13-14, 1945. The church survived the bombings but collapsed two days later. Reconstruction was completed in 2005. (Photo: Dietrich Flechtner of the Dresdner Neuste Nachrichten)

Remembering in Dresden, Germany Special to the Southpoint Sun

By Glenn Sellick The night of February 13-14, 1945, allied bombers bombed Dresden, Germany, and caused the fifth major firestorm in Europe in World War II, the other four having occurred in Coventry, England, and Hamburg, Kassel, and Darmstadt, Germany. That night some 25,000 people were killed in Dresden. Upon learning that the city of Dresden holds solemn observations every year on February 13th it became an item on my “bucket list” to be in Dresden on February 13. This year I, along with my wife, Sidney, and son, Ryan, was able to cross that off my list.

Bill introduced to combat Asian carp and other invasive species Invasive species pose a serious threat to Ontario’s economy and natural environment. One invasive species, Asian carp, has overwhelmed some river systems in the United States, where they now make up more than 95% of the fish by weight in some areas.

The provincial government has introduced a bill

to support the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of invasive species. The proposed Invasive Species Act would give Ontario the tools to only allow eviscerated (gutted) Asian carp into the province. The proposed Act includes provisions allowing for strong penalties and enhanced enforcement

spread on the ground so that, just as the young people in 1946 placed candles among the ruins of the church, hundreds, if not thousands, of candles could be place near the church.

The weather was mild, as it had been in 1945 as recorded in a diary by Victor Klemperer, one of the few Jews left in Dresden at that time. Then at 9:45 the eight bells of the Church of Our Lady joined the chorus of all the other bells in Dresden ringing for 15 minutes for it was at 9:45 that the sirens first began to wail the warning of a possible bombing raid.

After the bells fell silent there was a special evening devotion in the Church of Our Lady, a most fitting close to the day.

It was a most heartfelt experience for us. We met people who shared their personal stories of that night as well as younger people who lost relatives they never met. All the events, as well as the addresses by the pastors of the Church of Our Lady and the mayor of Dresden at the cemetery, reminded everyone there are no winners in any war; many times it is the civilians who pay the greatest price, and tolerance is truly the path to peace.

Laying of flowers at Heather Cemetery where the bodies of 6,900 and the cremains of some 10,000 are buried. The cremains are buried in the grassy area in the foreground and some people have already laid their white roses on the grave.

(Submitted photo)

Remembering in Dresden, Germany (Continued from page 19) The annual observation of February 13 in Dresden began informally on February 13, 1946 when some young people placed candles among the ruins of the destroyed Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady). The 202 year old building had survived the bombing but the intense heat of the firestorm weakened the structure and it collapsed two days later. Its reconstruction was only completed in 2005.

It therefore seemed only fitting that the present public observation of the day began at the daily 12 noon devotional service in the Church of Our Lady. We attended along with many others who were wearing white roses, Dresden’s equivalent to Canada’s Poppy.

Then later that afternoon there was the laying of flowers at the Heidefriedhof (Heather Cemetery) where the ashes of the some 6,900 dead, cremated on an open pyre in the middle of the destroyed city, plus the bodies of another 10,000 are buried. Every person who arrived at the cemetery was given a white rose to lay at the memorial for the dead. Here we met a woman who was there with her aged father. He had survived the bombing but his younger sister and brother did not. The mayor of Dresden also addressed those gathered at the cemetery reminding us that in any war many innocent people are killed and that we too should remember them.

At 6 p.m. an estimated 11,000 people formed a human chain approximately 2.5 km long encircling what had been the hardest hit area of the city. I personally held hands with a woman who as a young child lived in a town Growing east of Dresden and heard the sounds of the exploding Since 1921 bombs and saw the glow of the burning city.

Later on in the evening several concerts were held.

The most poignant part of the concert we attended was not the music but when a piece was completed no one applauded, which I was told was the practice at all the concerts that night.

Curling season winding down at SPCC Curling Notes by Gordon Wonnick This past week Sun Parlour Curling Club hosted the 44th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Senior bonspiel. This bonspiel is always a full participation event and this year was no exception with teams from Kingsville, Leamington, Chatham, Roseland, Ridgetown, Glencoe and Detroit all taking part.

The winners of the early draw were the Pettapiece team from Kingsville and second place went to the Sun Parlour team of Brian Collins, Earl Dunmore, Don Bedore and Lionel Aasen.

The late draw winners were the Sun Parlour team of Wayne Quinn, Will Patkau, Matt Dick and Jim Sudds. Second place went to the team of Dave McMurren, John Fantin, Don Chalcraft and Rick Metz.

The curling season is quickly winding down with most leagues complete.

Sunday March 16 was the final for the season for the Little Rockers, which are youngsters under 16 years of age. On this final day a Pizza Party was held for 20 Rockers and some parents. They had a chicken shoot on the ice and 6 happy Rockers went home with dinner.

Start-up for this wonderful activity will be in late October.

If you are interested in curling join SPCC members next season. Keep an eye on the sign in front of the club for pertinent information.

Lally Ford Bantams win league championship Leamington Southpoint Lally Ford Bantams finished their season with a league championship on Sunday in beautiful downtown Essex.

The team fought really hard on Saturday night in the semi-final game to defeat Tilbury 5-3 to earn a spot in the Sunday Showdown in Essex on Mar. 23 versus county rival the Harrow Rams. The game was filled with end-to-end action and Southpoint played a very disciplined, penalty-free game focused completely on the win.

With the sheer hard work of the whole team, Southpoint was rewarded with a Championship title. In order to get to this particular weekend, the team was successful all season long with every individual giving all they had. They were first overall both in the regular season and in playoffs, recording 29 wins, 10 losses and 6 ties.

Congratulations to the Southpoint Lally Ford Bantams on a great championship season! The team would like to especially thank their sponsor, Southpoint Lally Ford, for all they have done for the team this season.

Down time Sports fans who also enjoy The Simpsons often take special interest in the episodes based on — you’ve got it — sports. One where a medication-riddled Bart suspected that a high-tech national spy network had been launched by Major League Baseball will always be a favourite, but at the moment, a different episode comes Jessop’s to mind.

Journal In a campaign to attract a National Football League expansion team, the fictional city of Springfield renamed all its streets based on a football motif. One of those streets became Off-Season Knee Surgery Blvd. Although it was officially ranked the eighth-worst episode in the program’s history (yup, The Simpsons have a fan base that dedicated), I can’t seem to get it out of my mind.

Although there is no offseason in journalism, I am undergoing a physical recovery process of my own as I write these words. No, it wasn’t knee surgery. As far as I can recall without digging up the forms, it was a double bill of tonsillectomy and limited palatoplasty, both to which my aging laptop’s spellcheck extends a proverbial middle finger (then again, it doesn’t recognize the term “Simpsons” either).

Neither of these are life-altering procedures, although short-term implications are irritating on multiple levels. The former is basically the removal of the tonsils, which the medical field began tackling about 3,000 years ago. The latter involved the shortening of the uvula (the little “punching bag” at the back of the throat) and stitching the palate up in hopes that it will stay there once the stitches dissolve... not unlike the process where the 20-somethingyear-old bachelor addresses the problem of his car’s drooping headliner with a handful of strategically-placed thumb tacks.

It was my first surgical procedure of any sort, for which I was told would require two weeks of rest. I was given the dates of Feb. 20 and March 13 to choose from for the operation and when asked by my wife why I was having Protect such a hard time choosing, I Yourself made the mistake of saying from a exactly what I was thinking. flooded “Either way, I’m going basement to miss some junior hockey with a playoffs,” I explained durLIBERTY ing the early-February visit to the Ear, Nose and Throat WATER Call for a (ENT) doctor’s office.

chance of at least making their first Western Conference championship series appearance since 1997 and could quite possibly win their first local title since they were a Junior ‘C’ team. This, apparently, is not as important as my ability to breathe while I sleep. At this point in the debate, my wife reminded me that the sleep clinic study in Leamington revealed that I stop breathing an average of 95 times per hour. I was tempted to reply with “but only for a few seconds at a time,” but decided instead that it would probably be in my best interest to lose this argument.

Instead, my hockey exposure was limited to televised NHL coverage, which at least included a dramatic comeback for the Habs, who turned a 4-1 third-period deficit into a 5-4 overtime win. Leaf fans have recent memory of that exact scoreboard turnaround, albeit in significantly different context.

Just as the ENT specialist predicted, days five through seven were the worst — everything I ate felt like being booted in the throat by a kicker trying to make a game-tying, 58yard field goal in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter. I’ve never been so sick and tired of pudding, soggy Rice Krispies, yogurt and ‘Mac and Cheese’ in my life. By the time I started writing these words, I would have hugged Gary Bettman for a pizza or hamburger.

Eventually, I had to role the dice and stray from the soft-foods diet. First, a handful of Goldfish crackers... success! Next up, a few ketchup chips... %&?$@#* (and the kick is GOOD)!!!!

Back to pudding and Goldfish crackers.

Obviously, it could be a lot worse. It was a shame that Bobby Orr’s knee problems surfaced during an era where they had to slice and dice you up with a set of scalpels before they could even figure out what was wrong. Far more recently, Rich Peverley gave his family, friends, fans and teammates a horrible scare when he collapsed to the floor after finishing a first-period shift against Columbus on March 10. Luckily, team doctors and other medical personnel were not far away when it happened. He was successfully revived and underwent heart surgery at about the same time the cashier was ringing up my ketchup chips. He’ll miss at least the rest of the season, but is at least alive to cheer on his fellow Dallas Stars in their race for a wild card playoff berth. Most Red Wing fans remember a similar incident with the 6’ 5” Czech blueliner Jiri Fischer. He suffered cardiac arrest during a game against Nashville that put an end to his career as a player and nearly put an end to his life.

Nagging medical/physical conditions that require surgery are always a bitter pill for athletes to swallow. Everyone’s seen live-game footage of a sporting event where the camera’s attention briefly shifts to a player on the injured list watching from the sidelines or a guest suite. They always have a miserable look about them, making little effort to hide the fact that they’re just itching to shed the suit and tie, pull their jerseys over their heads and jump back into the fray.

Before he knew it had been postponed, Peverley asked if he could get back into the game against the Blue Jackets. The answer was obviously “no.” Hockey players are particularly bull-headed, often playing with conditions such as broken ribs, punctured lungs and an assortment of other ailments. Post surgery recovery is another matter. It seems to take forever, which is why so many athletes opt for off-season procedures whenever possible. I can only assume that the Leafs are amongst the NHL’s healthiest players for this reason, accustomed to two extra months of recovery compared to Stanley Cup finalists.

Hey, two Leafs cracks in the same column... I must be getting better.

penalty killing to get out of the first period knotted at zero.

The Eagles found a way to crack the defense early in the second period, scoring twice within 40 seconds to take a 2-0 lead into the third.

The Eagles scored two power play goals early in the third but the Capitals never gave up. Late in the game the Capitals were on the power play, when Robbie Edwards moved the puck up to Mikey Church, who then passed up to Gerrin Church, who went in on the goalie and found the back of the net.

The Capitals lost 5-1, but the game was much closer than the score shows.

The Minor Atoms would like to thank their sponsor, Gabriele Brand Source Home Furnishings, for their sponsorship and look forward to being a part of their sponsorship in the next season. The coaching staff would like to thank the players for all their hard work and effort that they put forth throughout the year. They have seen lots of improvement in every player.

Velocity 17U girls win silver at Michigan Elite Tournament On Saturday, Mar. 22 the Velocity 17U girls headed to Warren, Michigan, for the Michigan Elite 17/18U Girls Volleyball Tournament.

Velocity came out of the gates in great shape by winning their first match against Charger Bushey (MI) 18U with scores of 25/18, 25/14, and followed that up with a win against 17s Travel White (MI) with a 3 set victory: 20/25, 28/26, 15/8.

The Velocity girls were eyeing up first place in the pool until they met up with the host team, Michigan Elite 17 Green (MI). With the quick offensive and transition side of the game, Velocity had trouble keeping up at first.

Head coach Jim Konrad describes the match as an eye opener. “This being our first tournament of the season, the Velocity girls just had their eyes opened,” said Konrad. “It is a great lesson to play against teams that are tight as a team and play a fast paced match.”

Velocity lost the first set against MEVBA 4/25 and rebounded in the second set to finish, losing two straight to Michigan Elite with the final set score 19/25.

Velocity regrouped after their loss with a strong

Saturday, Mar. 23 had the Velocity Rage 12U boys volleyball team competing at the London Sharks 12U Volleyball Tournament in London. The Velocity boys had come off a tournament win in Cambridge on February 22 and were looking to play well again on the weekend. The tournament saw teams from across Ontario including Sarnia, Leamington, Cambridge 2, Durham 2 and London 3 competing as part of a new tournament series for 12U teams.

Velocity started the day with a one and one split against the Twin Bridges team from Sarnia with the scores 21/18, 15/21.

Velocity continued to play well and picked up two straight against the Scorpions 12U team from Cambridge with scores of 21/14, 21/18.

With their split in the first match, Velocity ended up second in their pool and were set to take on the nationally ranked Durham Attack.

With the Playoff A and B Divisions being decided

by their match against the Durham Attack, Velocity knew they would have to work hard as the game went back and forth with strong play made by both teams.

With a very tight win by two format, the Velocity boys

fought hard for a 30/28 win in the first set.

The second set saw the Durham Attack come out eager to even things up as they pushed for 25/21 victory over Velocity, setting up for the very exciting third

and final set of the match.

Both teams came out swinging and put on a great display of Volleyball action.

Durham did ultimately go on to take the final set by a score of 15/10, moving the Velocity boys into Division B for the remainder of the day.

Velocity was able to regroup and remained undefeated in Division B Playoffs, taking home first place for Division B when the day was over.

The Velocity boys have a busy schedule coming up as they head back to Cambridge on Saturday, Apr. 5 to defend their title at the provincial tournament, Scorpion’s Cup. Velocity will then host teams from across Ontario on Saturday, Apr. 12 at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

Club director Jim Konrad said this is a great time for volleyball in this area. “We have been working hard to grow our teams and ensure they are competitive,” said Konrad. “All of our teams are doing a great job and the fact that we are now hosting top level teams at a young age says a lot about where this club is headed.”

Friends, families and the public are welcome to come out and watch the action with matches taking place on both courts from 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Apr. 12 as teams from across Ontario attend the Velocity 12U Open.

Southpoint Stars roundup

How to buy art: topic of next “Fourth Fridays” talk

On Sunday afternoon the Community Trophy Southpoint Peewee Stars exploded offensively as they defeated the Chatham Outlaws by a score of 6-1. Rayvenne Sarkis and Kaylie Goodchild led the attack offensively, scoring two goals apiece. Lexy Iacobelli and Raine Schiefer scored one goal each. Scoring the assists were Kendra Epp and Schiefer (2), Shelby Hunter, Adrian Gualtieri, Abby Brissette, Hannah Chacko and Chelsea Andary. Halle Debono and Caitlyn Preston had an amazing combined effort, allowing only a single tally between the pipes.

The Fox Ready Mix Southpoint Bantam Stars welcomed the LaSalle Sabre Cats to the Heinz Rink on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Stars scored three unanswered goals, one in each period, en route to a dominant 3-0 win. Jennifer Fehr, Connie Wiebe and Kayla Collison lit the lamp with assists going to Paige Thompson and Kelsey Almasi. Erica Taylor was again spectacular in net scoring the big shutout.

On Saturday afternoon the Lions Club Southpoint Intermediate Stars travelled to Tecumseh to take on the Tiger Cats. Lea Marshall sniped the game winner early in the first period to secure the 1-0 win. Kim Goyeau and Cristina Pearce notched the assists.

Shayna Augustine was again brilliant in net for the Lady Stars scoring the shutout.

Sunday afternoon saw the Chatham Outlaws locking horns with the Lions Club Stars.

This was a very physical hard-fought battle. Hannah Toews got the Lady Stars on the board first, just four seconds into a power play. Taylor Babkirk drew the lone assist off the face off. This game ended in a 1-1 tie. Shayna Augustine was steady in net, holding the Outlaws to a single tally.

The Arts Society of Kingsville will be presenting the second in its series of “Fourth Fridays” talks this Fri. Mar. 28, 7 p.m., at Pelee Island Winery in Kingsville. This is a rescheduled event, after having been cancelled in February due to bad weather.

The topic is Art as an Investment with guest speaker Mandy Salter, MFA, ISA, who is the Director of Salter Art and Appraisals, Windsor. Drawing on more than two decades of experience, Salter has expert knowledge of Canadian and international markets.

Salter specializes in managing high-profile collections for both public and private clients, including government agencies, municipalities, museums and private collectors in Canada and abroad. She has worked with more than $100 million worth of art – consigning, curating and valuing paintings and sculpture. Even a partial list of her accomplishments is impressive: Salter has been Chief Curator and Collections Manager at the Art Gallery of Windsor, has assessed and appraised more than 5,000 items in the historical Francois Baby House collection for the City of Windsor, has taught art history and has worked within the fast-paced art scenes of Miami, New York and Toronto.

Besides running her own business, she is currently an in-house expert with the German online auction house Auctionata and works closely with the top-tier auction houses such as Bonhams and Butterfields, Sotheby’s and A.H. Wilkens Auctions.

Salter holds an MFA in Art and Art History from the University of Miami (Florida) and is a certified fine art appraiser, accredited with the International Society of Appraisers (ISA). She provides certified appraisals for various purposes.

For Salter, collecting art is a completely unique experience that should ideally provide a mix of inspiration, intellectual challenge and emotional reward. She advises most clients to collect for passion rather than monetary return. Her Fourth Friday talk will include factors to consider when buying art and objects, illustrated by “real-life” scenarios. One of the themes that Salter will touch on is why people buy art; she advises, “Spend money on art because you love it.” After her presentation, Salter will open the floor for questions from the audience and welcomes a wide-ranging discussion. You may pose questions for Salter in advance, or at any time, by contacting her at mandy@ salterappraisals.com Admission to Fourth Friday is free. Appetizers will be served and wine will be available for purchase. The Arts Society of Kingsville (ASK) strives to connect artists and arts lovers. While only having celebrated its first-year anniversary earlier this year, ASK has already demonstrated a history of successful events, workshops and talks about art.

Starting with last summer’s hugely popular Member’s Fine Art & Fine Craft Show & Sale hosted by Pelee Island Winery, ASK has been promoting local artists and artisans.

“Essex County has an untapped wealth of artists who are eager to share their art and skills with the community,” says the organization’s president, Lydia Miljan.

For further information “Like” ASK on Facebook or visit their website (under construction) at ArtsSocietyofKingsville.com. If you would like to receive notice of future workshops and events, send a request to ArtsSocietyofKingsville@gmail.com

14th annual Polar Dip raises $90,000 Over 100 hearty souls braved the frigid waters of Lake Erie to participate in the rescheduled 14th Annual Polar Bear Dip on Cedar Island Saturday, March 22 in Kingsville. About $90,000 was raised to benefit ChildCan and ACCESS, through pledges collected by the dippers and a dinner held at Lakeside Park Pavilion in late January. Over $850,000 has been raised for several charities since the dip began. The dip was postponed due to dangerously cold conditions on January 25 and rescheduled for March 22.

This group, dipping for Josefin, were the top fundraisers for the event, raising about $11,000.

Things don’t always go as planned when dippers hit the frigid waters of Lake Erie.

Some of the dippers chose to have a little fun, wearing colorful costumes for taking the icy plunge.

Photos by Pat Bailey

Aaron Kuhlman and Frank Cappelli, representing The Athletic Club in Kingsville, survived their dip into Lake Erie relatively unscathed.

Representatives of the Lakeside Animal Clinic tag up with members of the Dive Club before heading back to shore.

1931 Studebaker sedan found in Nova Scotia Steve Porter of Burlington recently acquired a rare piece of automotive history: “Hi Bill: For a long time, I have been interested in cars from the ’20s and ’30s that I have seen at shows and on eBay or Kijiji. Last year, I saw a 1931 Studebaker Dictator on Kijiji. It was pale yellow with brown fenders and looked great. Unfortunately, it was too far away (Cape Breton Island) and cost too much at $29,000.

This past September, I was pleased to see the ad appear again. I called and the seller confirmed that it had a ’70s era Chevy 250 engine, an automatic transmission, plus the bonus of power brakes (the original engine was a straight eight with 221 cubic inches and 81 horsepower).

“We decided to take a trip to see this car, with a side trip to our favourite province, Steve Porter’s immaculate 1931 Studebaker Dictator sedan.

The Corporation of the Municipality of Leamington Notice Special Meeting of Council Leamington OPP Business Office Hours of Operation TAKE NOTICE that Leamington Council will hold a Special Council meeting to receive the public’s input in regard to the hours of the Leamington Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) business office.

Monday, March 31, 2014 6:00 PM Leamington Council Chambers 111 Erie Street North (Parking off Queens) In 2010, Leamington transitioned from a Municipal Police force and entered into a contract for police service with the Ontario Provincial Police. One of the conditions in the contract for service was that the business office hours of the Leamington detachment located at 7 Clark Street West, would be open to the public 24 hours per day, 7 days per week (24/7).

The OPP have provided Council with an option to change the hours the business office is open to the public from 24/7 to Monday to Friday 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. Exercising this option of standardizing the business office hours will result in an estimated reduction in costs for policing of $339,320 per year.

For clarification the level of service for policing will not change, and the public can still speak to a police officer 24/7, however the business office is proposed to be open to the public Monday to Friday 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. A copy of the Chief Administrative Officer’s report CAO 04/14 in regard to this matter can be found on Leamington’s website at www.leamington.ca (Municipal Services / Agendas, Meetings and Minutes, on the calendar for March 31, 2014). For questions regarding this meeting contact Bill Marck, CAO at (519) 326-5761, extension 1101.
