Cougarbotics wins provincial award

By Bryan Jessop

Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School’s robotics program continues to make an impression across Ontario.

After capturing first place in the Robotics Canada Challenge FIRST Lego League regional competition hosted by St. Clair College in early December, the local team took multiple honours at the Ontario Western Provincials at the University of Waterloo. Dubbed “Cougarbotics,” the team of six Grade 7 and four Grade 8 CCCMS students earned second place overall in all categories and took the Innovation Award for this year’s Ontario West competition, held over the February 9-10 weekend. The accolades were earned by the team’s invention “H2GO,” a portable showering capsule for astronauts in space, who are limited to four litres of water for hygiene purposes during their missions.

The creation offers a 100 per cent water recollection rate and complies with this year’s FLL theme, “Into Orbit.”

“I’m learning that making something work takes time and effort,” Cougarbotics team member Matthew Preston said of developing the team’s entry for competition.

The Innovation Award was won by a Cardinal Carter team for the second consecutive year. Last year, finishing first earned the Rain Regents one of 20 spots at the Global Innovation Awards in San Jose, Calif. David Kostanjevec, who is guiding Cougarbotics along with fellow CCCMS teachers Rima Mastronardi and Ida Ricci, explained that Cougarbotics has qualified for First Lego League’s 2019 International Championship Open to be held at the University of Arkansas

The Cougarbotics team, the Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School entry for FIRST Canada FLL’s 2018-’19 season of competition, finished second overall and took the Innovation Award at the University of Waterloo for the Ontario West Provincials Saturday, Feb. 9. The team was represented by coach Ida Ricci-Minaudo, mentors Jasmine Jacobs, Ian Waechter and Linda Pham, team members Tyson Antunes, Charlie Liebrock, Dante Mastronardi, coach David Kostanjevec, team members Alexa KennethOgah, Raegan Woodiwiss, Daesa Minaudo, Lucas Makhlouf and Matthew Preston, coach Rima Mastronardi, team members Vanessa Jacobs and Charbel Tawil and mentors Backos Boutros and Conner Lowhorn. The team has qualified to compete at the University of Arkansas in mid May, to be funded by Dominos Canada owner Mike Schlater.

from May 16 to May 19. The event will be attended by 76 international teams, where Cougarbotics will represent Ontario.

In order to fund the upcoming trip to Arkansas, the CCCMS team reached out to the community in search of financial support. In response, Mike Schlater of Domino’s Canada stepped forward and offered to cover the costs involved with the trip to this year’s ICO in Arkansas.

In the meantime, the CCCMS group’s competition schedule continued over the February 24 weekend with the fourth annual Ontario Innovation Competition hosted by Seneca College’s Markham campus.

Cardinal Carter was one of 18 teams to enter the event.

This year, the Cardinal Carter Middle School team did not rank in one of the top

three positions necessary to advance to the Global Innovation Award Competition.

“For me, I’ve noticed that making friends and learning how to better our world is better than winning or losing a competition,” explained CCCMS team member Lucas Makhlouf.

Cougarbotics is made up of Grade 7 students Alexa Kenneth, Raegan Woodiwiss, Daesa Minaudo, Charbel Tawil, Charlie Librock and Dante Mastronardi and Grade 8 members Makhlouf, Tyson Antunes, Preston and Vanessa Jacobs.

The team has been working on the development of H2GO since shortly after the 2018-’19 school year began, along with assistance from community partners Custom Concepts and Baymar Supply Ltd. “He’s been very supportive of the team and helping

them out with their questions,” Kostanjevec said of Baymar owner Frank Frabetta. “We owe him a huge debt of thanks.”

Kostanjevec noted that Custom Concepts Machining of Leamington allowed the use of its shop space for Cougarbotics to develop

their H2GO prototype while offering CNC machine training.

“One of the things I enjoy about this journey is that it makes us think in many new ways,” noted Antunes.

“For us, the true experience of winning is just having fun,” added Liebrock.

“Steering Through It” – navigating through life after a brain tumour

By Pat Bailey

As a naval reservist for years, Lynn McLaughlin learned the fundamentals of navigating through rough waters.

But when it comes to life, Lynn learned that ‘steering through it’ takes on a whole new meaning.

The 56-year-old Kingsville mother of Mitchell, 20, Marina, 21, and Shayne, 24, dropped her daughter off at the mall on July 13, 2013, but she never made it back to the mall that day to pick her up.

Instead, the day was a blur. She doesn’t really remember driving back to Kingsville; she just remembers the shocking words that would alter her life for years to come, possibly forever.

While her daughter and a friend shopped, Lynn went for an MRI, with plans to meet up in a couple of hours, but she never made it back to the mall.

Lynn was sent straight to the emergency room. There, she was told she had a brain tumour the size of a golf ball. After being prescribed several medications, Lynn mustered her strength to call husband Ken and relay the news.

After picking up Marina, Ken met Lynn at home to comfort her and prepare for their future. A future that was now laying in the balance — and in the hands of her neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Morassutti.

“He saved my life,” said Lynn of the doctor who removed the non-malignant tumour.

Just five days post-surgery, Lynn was sent home to begin a new life. A life that was no longer taken for granted; a life she now knew could be snatched away at any moment.

But for Lynn, the release from the hospital was only the beginning of her recovery. In fact, the first six months were a whirlwind of mania, mood swings and frustration. Words were mixed up, memory loss was an ongoing issue and her banishment from technology caused more than a few family battles.

This, though, was her new normal, at least for the time being.

After seven months, Lynn went back to her old job as superintendent of special education for the Windsor Essex Public School Board.

But the job, which she loved so much, became a root of her frustration. Being responsible to ensure the needs of about 5,000 students are met became overwhelming for the recovering patient.

While things gradually improved, Lynn opted to retire in September of 2018.

But once an educator, al-

ways an educator – Lynn took the lessons she learned through her journey back to near normalcy and wrote a book outlining her struggles in an attempt to help others facing similar diagnoses.

Lynn used her journals written immediately following her diagnosis as the basis of her writings.

‘Steering Through It’ uses nautical themes and terms as she highlights the journey through varying perspectives — her husband, her children, her father and siblings.

It’s an emotional journey wracked with answerless questions, frustration and the loss of control. Lynn said it was through their writings that she truly began to understand the impact her battle had on them.

As far as the role reversal between mother and daughter, Marina described her attempt to enforce the cell phone ban as well as an epic failure when it came to allowing her mom back in the kitchen. But Marina knew she had to be tough, as it was time for her to enforce the new house rules, even if it meant backlash from her mom.

“My mom was home,” wrote Marina. “She was not ‘normal’. Her behaviour was chaotic, scatter-brained — her attention span was like that of a child.”

But it wasn’t just technology that Marina had to monitor, as her mom was also not allowed to cook.

She wrote of an instance when she assisted her mom, when she insisted on preparing dinner.

“The dinner turned out horrible,” she wrote, “but out of respect I pretended to love it.”

“The smile she had as I choked down the food and pretended to like it was all worth it,” she added. “It gave her a sense of hope and independence she yearned for.”

“Let them know that they do not have to face this challenge alone.”

– Lynn McLaughlin

An avid reader, Lynn also turned her energy to research, seeking out any information she could find relating to her condition.

She sought out answers as to ‘why’ – was it environmental? hereditary? – Lynn wanted answers.

She eventually had to accept the fact that sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason

Educator turned author, Kingsville’s Lynn McLaughlin, has a written a book detailing her journey and recovery following her brain tumour diagnosis – “Steering Through It”.

as to why things happen in life.

But she did learn the importance of advocating for oneself, as well as the treasure trove of information and assistance available from not-for-profit organizations such as the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and the importance of support groups.

Lynn also wants others to heed her warning not to ignore symptoms that point to possible serious health issue, symptoms that included severe headaches, fatigue and tinnitus.

“I ignored them for months,” she said, “maybe even years.”

Lynn is back to resembling the old Lynn, but relies heavily on notes, alarms and reminders to help assist her with short-term memory issues.

And then there’s the issue with her newly created ‘Lynn lingo’ — words misused or mixed up as a result of her surgery.

But Lynn’s not complain-

ing. Instead, she is celebrating each and every day, even if she sometimes struggles to find the word on the tip of her tongue or a name that escapes her.

She no longer dwells on the small things; instead choosing to try and help others facing similar diagnoses.

Another thing she learned firsthand is the importance of her tremendous support system. As tough as it was, Lynn said they never wavered in their support.

While it was awkward at times between friends and family, Lynn said, above all else, “Let them know that they do not have to face this challenge alone.”

Lynn will be on hand at the TFSC Women’s Expo on March 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pelee Island Winery in Kingsville.

Lynn’s story has been recognized by the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and is now posted on its national site.

Air Cadets create flight simulator LEAMINGTON – 535 Archer Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Cadets held a “Grand Opening” of their newly constructed flight simulator. Her Worship, Mayor Hilda MacDonald and members of Leamington municipal council were on hand Feb. 13 to participate in the making operational of this advanced flight training device.

“It was one of the highlights of my life,” MacDonald said of the experience.

“It was amazing — a really cool thing to do.”

Air Cadets study a variety of aviation topics during their time in training. A great deal of the training has to do with the understanding of how aircraft work and what the results are from various control inputs – essentially learning to fly. The simulator represents an emersion in this type of training, giving the squadron’s trainees an experience very close to the real world.

How real?

The thing that distinguishes the Leamington simulator from others is the fact that it’s made from a section of an actual airplane.

“We took a section of a Piper Tomahawk from the firewall back that included the entire cockpit space — windows, doors and all — and installed the necessary computer equipment to run

SIU called in to investigate LEAMINGTON – On February 27, at approximately 9 p.m., members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Essex County Detachment responded to a disturbance at a residence on Orange Street in Leamington.

A 25-year-old male was subsequently arrested and transported to an area hospital for treatment of a sustained injury.

The OPP has notified the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) which has invoked its mandate. As a result, the OPP will not be providing any further information.

Local man still missing

The Leamington Air Cadets Squadron 535 has created a unique flight simulator to compliment its training. The device includes a section from a Piper Tomahawk donated by the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association. The grand opening of the simulator included a visit from Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

large screens which carry images of the outside world and react to control inputs.

We propped the fuselage up and built small wing sections to enhance the experience of climbing into the aircraft exactly the way you would if you were getting in one at an airport somewhere,” notes Captain Steve Stephenson, the cadet unit Commanding Officer.

The unit has many people to thank including the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association who donated the section of fuselage, Kevin

and Ethan Schmidt of Belle River for their expertise in setting up the flight computers, Mr. Jim Goodall and Mr. Jon Azzopardi, both of Ruthven, who spent many hours assisting with construction and making layout and electrical modifications.

“We hope to be able to provide the cadets with an authentic and high-density training experience.

Eventually, some of these young people will become involved in aviation as a career – which is a highdemand class of occupation

right now,” added Stephenson.

The eventual goal is to have the unit certified as a flight training device by Transport Canada in order to have cadets (and others who may be able to use it) officially log flight training hours on the simulator.

535 Squadron operates its program from September to June every year for youth aged 12 to 19 years old.

Spread your wings and fly We’ve all been given the same advice on social etiquette a thousand times. In any public setting, there are two topics that should never be discussed — politics and religion.

Since the advent of social media, however, those little ground rules have apparently Bryan Jessop been flushed straight down the toilet. I’ve never been social media’s biggest advocate, but I do peruse the posts of Facebook from time to time. Often I’ll do so in search of jokes about professional sports teams that I hate, YouTube links to songs I haven’t heard in a while, photos/ videos of cool old muscle cars in action or even story ideas.

Unfortunately, what I find far more often than any of these things are people using FB as their modern day soap boxes. It’s nearly unfathomable to think about how many hours some people must spend scanning various websites in search of stories that condemn the political leaders they hate more than anything else on this Earth. For obvious reasons, the most common targets for anyone living in our neck of the woods are — in no particular order — Rob Ford, Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump.

Somehow, two conditions seem to exist simultaneously in North American politics. First, as both my father and the lyrics to a certain Megadeth song suggest, we as a people don’t so much vote in new leaders as we simply vote out the existing ones. Secondly, however, it seems many believe that it’s mandatory to cling tenaciously to either extreme left or extreme right sociopolitical standards… at least according to what I’ve read on Facebook. Don’t dare adopt a ‘central’ point of view or you’ll be labelled wishy-washy or a fence sitter. When you set your sights on any particular leader, it seems paramount that you either praise every

JESSOP’S JOURNAL

single thing he or she does or condemn every single thing he or she does.

Nobody seems capable of polarizing the people of his nation (intentionally or otherwise) quite like Trump. He could eat a litter of newborn kittens on live TV and his supporters would jump to his defense with reasons why it was the right thing to do. On the flip side of that coin, he could burst into an orphanage engulfed in flames and save the life of every child trapped inside and his opponents would be equally as quick to explain why it was an inexcusable atrocity.

A few decades back, local MP Eugene Whelan welcomed a group of Soviet Union guests to the region that was led by the communist nation’s then Minister of Agriculture Mikhail Gorbachev (yes, THAT Gorbachev). I believe it was shortly after that historic visit/tour that someone (possibly a reporter, I can’t remember) asked Whelan how he could possibly interact as well as he did with both America’s ultra right Reagan administration and the ultra left Soviets. I might be paraphrasing a bit here, but Whelan basically responded with “when was the last time you saw a bird fly with one wing?”

Regardless of such insight, the great political divide on this continent seems to get worse every day. Ford owners can get along with Chevrolet owners. Leafs fans can get along with Wings fans. Coke drinkers can get along with Pepsi drinkers. Heck, I even know of staunch Christians who get along just fine with atheists. But you’d better be prepared for a localized WWIII when Liberal and Conservative or Democrat and Republican supporters cross paths (personally, I can’t commit unwavering loyalty to ANY particular party).

Anyway, with a federal election drawing closer, many Canadians will again take a gander at the different party leaders and wonder “which one of these clowns will do the smallest amount of damage?” before casting their votes.

Not exactly optimistic, but it at least illustrates a certain degree of open mindedness.

A special 10th birthday ESSEX– Norman Blake Epplett of Essex turned 10 on February 16. The Grade 4 student at Gosfield North Public School asked for money and toys, but he asked for them to be donated to Ronald McDonald House in London. Blake has many ties to the Epplett families from the Wheatley and Leamington area. He is the son of Ashley Patrick and Jeff Epplett.

Blake and his family raised $2,500 for Ronald McDonald House as well as lots of toys for the Treasure Room. Blake explains why he wanted to do this in the following letter: “When I was three my family had to use the Ronald McDonald House because I had an accident. When I got to leave the hospital the staff members brought me to the Treasure Room where I could pick out a toy. I picked out a Nerf gun that I still have today. I never forgot what the room looked like!

This year for my birthday my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I didn’t need anything because I have everything I need. So I thought I would donate the money and toys I got for my birthday to the Treasure Room at the RMH! I let everyone in my family know what I wanted to do with the gifts and my mom put it on Facebook to let my family know.

My cousin Cindy was my mascot and had all of my Tober family donate. I was up to $1,000 and 11 toys to donate, but after that many strangers started to donate and it made me excited and proud that people who didn’t even know me donated!

On Sunday, February 24 my mom (Ashley Patrick) step dad (Dave Patrick), grandma (Sharon Tober), Opa (Norman Tober) and I went to London to make the donation. The final total was $2,500 and lots of toys!

I got to sign the big check and take all the toys to the Treasure Room and have another look at it! It’s just as I remember. The room is so cool and I was very proud to be a part of filling the room with toys for kids who just need a smile.

I’d also like to let you know my Aunt Hannah Tober and Uncle Kendall had the highest donation of $400.

I really like to volunteer with my mom and grandma at Leamington McDonalds for McHappy Day every May. And I am very proud my Tober family likes to come with me to help cook breakfast for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in London!

Please donate to the Ronald McDonald House.”

Future of courtesy crossing in question

By Bryan Jessop

For about one more month, the fate of a crosswalk spanning Erie Street South will remain in the air.

As a notice of motion, Leamington municipal council discussed the courtesy crossing south of the Erie Street/Oak Street intersection, used primarily by Highbury Canco employees. Council elected to await a report from director of infrastructure services Robert Sharon with different options on how to address safety concerns relating to the crossing.

The report will likely be presented for discussion and a decision from council in April of this year.

Initially, consideration was brought forth to replace the existing courtesy crossing situated 145 metres/476 feet south of the Erie/Oak traffic lights with a standard pedestrian crossing. Members of council however questioned whether a new crossing would be utilized as intended. Multiple councilors expressed concerns that the present courtesy crossing is not being used properly, presenting a hazard to pedestrians crossing Erie Street South either east to west or vice versa.

“Some people aren’t using the crossing correctly. The safest thing to do is use the controlled crossing at the (Erie/Oak) intersection,” said councilor Paul Tiessen, echoing similar sentiments made by deputy mayor Larry Verbeke.

“When people drive through the (Erie/Oak) light, they’re

accelerating, not slowing down,” added mayor Hilda MacDonald. “It’s (the courtesy crossing) just not a safe place to cross.”

Councilor Bill Dunn countered the suggestion of outright removing the crossing, explaining that its absence could worsen pedestrian safety issues rather than reduce the likelihood of pedestrian/motorist collisions.

“People are used to it being there now,” he noted while also expressing concerns over liability if an accident occurs at the site after the crossing is removed. “They won’t use the lights or the bridge.”

Dunn referred to the elevated bridge near the courtesy crossing, which other council members suggested as an alternative for Highbury Canco employees to the current courtesy crossing. A pedestrian crossing with warning lights could include an option to bring traffic at the location to three lanes, which Verbeke noted would be a modification that would cost Highbury Canco employees six parking spaces. The potential for a new pedestrian crossing also triggered concerns for a bottleneck effect for motorist traffic in the area.

In May of 2017, an 18-year-old Highbury Canco employee died of his injuries after being struck by a vehicle while he was crossing Erie Street South at the courtesy crossing.

Kingsville Veterans Banner Project

By LCol Murray Stewart, CD, PPCLI ( Ret’d )

KINGSVILLE – The Veterans Banner Project was launched at a ceremony at the Kingsville Legion last fall when 15 inaugural banners were raised on poles honouring individual and groups of Kingsville veterans.

From the outset, this project has demonstrated a tre-

SECC International Women’s Day celebration LEAMINGTON – South Essex Community Council (SECC) is inviting the community to attend an officially sanctioned International Women’s Day Celebration on March 8th at the Leamington Lebanese Club.

“We wanted to do something for the community. We have done events for our clients, but we want to invite the community in to celebrate the accomplishments of local women,” said Carolyn Warkentin, SECC Executive Director.

The celebrations will include a three-course meal, talk show style discussion with prominent local women, music, dancing and the opportunity to shop at the vendor market, featuring 20 local vendors.

Speakers include Professor Gemma Smyth (Associate Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Windsor) and Constable Cealia Gagnon (Windsor Police Service). Attendees are encouraged to bring feminine hygiene products or monetary donations. All proceeds will be donated to the Hiatus House.

Warkentine explained that the price of the event was kept low at $30, to encourage more people to attend.

“It’s really important for us to start grooming the next generation of leaders. We are sending a special invitation to young women. It’s really important for young women to see women in leadership roles in their community,” added Warkentin.

Tickets for the event are available at SECC’s office, 215 Talbot St. E. in Leamington for $30. Tickets are also available online at www.secc.on.ca/iwd. Everyone is welcome but seats are limited.

mendous amount of interest, excitement and support from Council, veterans and their families and the general public.

The interest and support continues and it is expected that 50 or more additional banners will be raised this year. In addition to eliciting sponsorship from living veterans and the families of the deceased, letters have been sent to schools, service clubs, and churches. The banner cost for sponsors is $225 and the veteran or sponsor must have a connection to the Town of Kingsville.

Last year the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Foundation enabled us to raise the 15 inaugural banners on their brackets after the Migration Festival for a period around Remembrance Day. This year, in order to raise significantly more banners over a larger area around Kingsville, Cottam, and Ruthven and for a longer period from August to November, the Town of Kingsville is providing the brackets.

An Information Session is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, March 23 at the Legion ballroom. Banners will be displayed and information on the project and sponsorship will be available. Light refreshments will be served and there will be a free draw for a banner sponsorship. Invitations to attend are extended to Council, veterans and their families, the general public, and representatives from schools, service clubs, and churches.

Erika and Mike Renwick of Wheatley take a break from driving at the Tim Hortons in Arthur after being stranded by poor weather conditions and road closures. Luckily, the village’s gas stations provided an ‘emergency billeting service’ of local families who offer accommodations to out-of-town motorists who are unable to find other places to stay.

Harrowing experience for local travelers

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – A trip intended to serve as a calm, relaxing getaway turned out to be anything but for a Wheatley couple.

Mike and Erika Renwick closed the doors to their restaurant Renny’s The Village Smokehouse for a week and set out for a drive to Collingwood in what was supposed to be a two-day, three-night vacation. What they experienced instead was a nightmarish combination of inclement weather and road conditions that brought their plans to an abrupt halt.

On the evening of Sunday, Feb. 24, the Renwicks made a stop in Arthur — a village incorporated into the Township of Wellington West in 1999 — hoping to wait out the storm and continue on to Collingwood.

After winter storm conditions calmed somewhat, the couple continued their voyage along Highway 6 north of Guelph. Shortly afterwards, conditions took another turn for the worse. Blowing snow severely hampered visibility, forcing them to rely on a snowplow about 15 feet ahead of them as a guide.

“There were times I couldn’t even see its tail lights,” Mike explained. “Eventually, he had to turn around and we had to follow him. Those were the worst driving conditions I’ve ever seen.”

The Renwicks made their way back to Arthur to discover that the community had no hotels. From there, the OPP enforced the emergency closure of all rural roads in the township, leaving them stranded. Fortunately, they discovered a unique service — unheard of in Essex County — provided by the community’s gas stations.

“They have an emergency billet list of people who take in strangers who get stranded by bad weather,” Mike explained. “We were lucky that someone had a bed available.

It was so nice for a random stranger to offer something like that. We thought we were going to have to spend the night in our truck.”

The Arthur residents who took in the Renwicks simultaneously welcomed a woman from Toronto on her way to Owen Sound and a Collingwood couple that was on its SOUTHPOINT way to Hamilton. By 10:30 p.m., Mike was able to use his cell phone to contact a sister-in-law’s friend who lives in Arthur.

BIA introduces security camera project

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Criminals who don’t want their actions recorded would be well advised to stay out of Leamington’s uptown core.

The Leamington Business Improvement Association introduced its Security Camera Grant in the summer of 2018 and seven months later, the project continues to gain momentum. The program offers 50 per cent financial coverage to BIA member businesses up to a sum of $750 for a security camera system costing $1,500 or more.

After being introduced last year as a pilot project, six businesses within the BIA’s area — basically defined geographically as being south of Clark Street, east of Albert and Fox Streets, on or north of Russell Street and west of Victoria Avenue — successfully applied to receive the grant and have security cameras installed. In February of this year, another three businesses and/or property owners within the BIA area signed on for the grant.

The idea to instigate a Security Camera Grant program began after the local BIA surveyed members of the public earlier in the summer of 2018. After asking what the public’s top concerns and priorities were for Leamington’s uptown area, the overwhelming response indicated that residents wanted to see aesthetic improvements and that they often felt unsafe when visiting or traveling through the region. In response to the first issue, the BIA launched the Uplift Grant program to help business and property owners fund improvements and upgradses to their facades (for more information on Up“It’s a way for lift, see the March 13 edition of The Sun). them to protect To address the public’s perception of Leamtheir own assets ington’s uptown as being unsafe, the BIA approached the Essex County branch of the Ontario and improve Provincial Police asking for recommendations on public safety.” how to improve personal safety in the area. Dur— Kelly ing the meeting, OPP representatives suggested Baillargeon setting up surveillance equipment. Since security cameras have been installed in Leamington’s uptown area, the OPP has accessed some of their recordings to track down suspects of criminal activity.

For both the Uplift and Security Camera Grant programs, the Leamington BIA has set aside a portion of its budget this year to accommodate members interested in submitting applications for either or both of the two programs. To receive the Security Camera Grant, applying businesses must be able to mount a camera outdoors on the ground floor, directed towards either the street and/or sidewalk in front of the building or the back alley — which ever is considered more crucial towards enhancing security.

“Some businesses are getting involved for the good of the community as a whole,” explained Leamington BIA executive director Kelly Baillargeon. “It’s a way for them to protect their own assets and improve public safety.”

The Leamington Business Improvement Association modeled its Security Camera Grant after a similar initiative that has been administered in Peterborough by its own BIA. The Peterborough security camera project has since become a large success, having reached a level of usage the Leamington group hopes to emulate. As part of its own project, the Leamington organization is erecting signage to let the public know video security systems are in place.

“It’s about improving the community’s safety, not about trying to be big brother,” Baillargeon said.

Business or property owners in the BIA area interested in participating in the Security Camera Grant may contact the Leamington BIA through its website www.leamingtonbia.com, e-mailing info@leamingtonbia.com or mailing P.O. Box 666 Leamington, ON, N8H 1X1.

Council approves veterans banner project

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington has voted unanimously to partner with a committee set out to honour the community’s military veterans.

On behalf of the Leamington Veterans Banner Committee (LVBC), nephew and uncle duo Jerry and Mark Ribble approached municipal council during its Tuesday, Feb. 26 meeting in hopes of securing its involvement with a project similar to those launched in Wheatley and Kingsville. Including Jerry’s wife Judy and councillor Tim Wilkinson, the committee of four is overseeing the creation of 39.5” by 20” banners portraying the images, names, ranks and fields of service for Leamington’s military veterans past and present.

The group approached council asking for the services of Public Works to receive and install and then remove and return the banners at no cost to the LVBC. The committee estimated the costs involved in doing so to be roughly $1,000 or less each year.

“It’s an excellent initiative — it Leamington veteran Robert Sovie (centre) reveals the warms our hearts,” councillor Bill first Leamington Hometown Hero banner along with its sponsors and his siblings Jane Pursel and Jerry Sovie. To Dunn stated upon hearing the com- start, the Leamington Veterans Banner Committee hopes mittee’s plans to honour Leaming- to take 52 orders for banners to be displayed along Mill Street West and the cenotaph from mid October until afton-area veterans.

“It’s a way to recognize our his- ter Remembrance Day. tory, which is great,” said mayor Hilda MacDonald. “This is adding to the quality of life.”

To start, the project will accommodate space and brackets required to display 52 banners.

The banners of veterans portrayed by participating families will be erected at Mill Street West and Fox Street at the westernmost point and proceed eastward to Dieppe Park near the cenotaph and former Leamington Royal Canadian Legion building now occupied by Caldwell First Nation.

Families interested in purchasing a banner to be displayed publicly in Leamington can contact Mark Ribble at 519-551-1890 or Jerry Ribble at 519-825-1114. The committee expects to offer a Facebook page later this spring. Southpoint Printing will produce each banner at a cost of approximately $135. Two banners will be hung on each of 26 light posts.

After the first 52 sets of brackets are accounted for, remaining applications — which must be approved by the committee — will be placed on a waiting list until additional brackets are acquired and locations are made available.

“We expect the spaces we have available now to fill up quickly,” Mark Ribble explained.

The brackets required to display are owned by the Municipality of Leamington and have been used by Leamington’s Communities In Bloom committee and Point Pelee National Park’s Festival of Birds. The balance of the first 52 sets are being paid for by the Leamington Business Improvement Association (BIA).

The banners will be on display along Mill Street starting in mid October and will be taken down after Remembrance Day. In the meantime, temperature-controlled storage will be used to allow each banner to lay flat and remain protected from inclement weather.

Jerry came up with the idea for a veterans’ banner project similar to Wheatley’s and Kingsville’s during a family gathering in July of last year where he and other relatives were discussing the military services of the Leamington area’s veterans. From there, he contacted members of the Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion for guidance and to secure permission to use the Legion logo on the banners.

The first banner, created in honour of Mark Ribble’s uncle Bob Sovie, has already been created. Sovie, now 93 years old, served in the Royal Canadian Navy during both World War II and the Korean War. All applications for banners must be submitted by August 1 of the current calendar year. To be eligible, the veteran must have grown up in or lived in Leamington or have family residing in the community.

Tanner, a Grade 2 student at Mount Carmel Blysthewood Public School, was holding a sign saying “CAREY please take a selfie with me...I’m good luck!” The Habs defeated the hometown Wings 8-1!

Tanner definitely was good luck! This was Tanner’s first NHL game and one he won’t soon forget.

“I’m really looking forward to getting more involved with American Flat Track,” Trent explained. “I’m excited about gaining more experience there — there are a lot of very talented, experienced racers there. It’ll be an honour to race against them. It’s going to be quite a learning curve for sure.”

Novice Red plays final two games The Southpoint Community Trophies Novice Red played their final two league games last week.

The first was against the Southpoint Blue team. It was a good game with lots of activity at both ends of the ice. Cooper Miller opened the scoring at the six-minute mark of the first on one of his six end-to-end rushes down the ice. Assists went to Taylor LeFaive and Marcus Hopkins.

Trophy evened the score when Sean Amaral shot the puck past goalie Sonny Coppola.

Reid Charles and Jackson Weil earned assists on that one. A minute later, Trophy’s London Hildebrand shot the puck to the net and on the ensuing scramble, Darius Quiring got the puck to Gavin Butineillo who put it away.

Not to be outdone, Blue tied it up with another Cooper rush down the ice. Andrew DeGoey and Marcus assisted.

Into the second period, Cooper rushed the length of the ice two more times to score. Taylor picked up two more assists and Sean Renwick and Andrew one each. At 4-2 it wasn’t looking good for Trophy. With 50 seconds left in the second, Connor Rumble-Anastacio went end-toend and slipped the puck under Sonny. Sean and Carter Kretschmann assisted.

In the third, Cooper continued his onslaught, scoring two more goals. Marcus picked up two assists, and Taylor and Andrew each one. It was Southpoint Red’s turn. Connor went for a skate and fired the puck into the net to make it 6-4. Sean and London assisted. London scored next on a shot from the point. Assists went to Sean and Connor.

Time was running out and with two minutes left, the game was curfewed and Blue had won 6-5. Trophy could not find an answer for Cooper Miller who scored all six goals for Blue.

Southpoint Red’s second game was against Harrow. Southpoint played strong, putting a lot of pressure on the Harrow team and playing tough. Passing in the offensive end was good and there were a lot of shots taken on the Harrow net, but only one found the back of it. Jackson Weil sent the puck to the front of the net and Gavin Butiniello put it in. Landon Carlini picked up an assist.

Unfortunately, Southpoint allowed Harrow to score four.

Ty Gould made a number of good stops for Southpoint.

The Community Trophies team has had a wonderful season. There has been a great deal of improvement in skills and aggressive play. Offensively, they have become stronger through individual effort. They are encouraged next year to incorporate more passing into their game.

In an entertaining matinee affair, the Kingsville Novice Green Machine travelled to Wheatley Arena for a Sunday, Mar. 3 battle against Southpoint Blue.

The final road trip of the season took its toll as the Machine was still in a fog from their pre-game nap as the puck dropped and Southpoint took advantage, burying a howitzer past a lunging Sam Ward.

With Kingsville still trying to get out of neutral, Southpoint carried the momentum into the second, putting up an insurance marker to finish the period ahead 2-0.

After some soul searching between frames, a more familiar Green Machine played inspired third period hockey against the backdrop of chorused parent chants that echoed within the Wheatley rink walls. William Loncke provided something to cheer about as he buried a point shot after a sustained shift in the Southpoint end. Keaton Morphet and Tyson Everaert were credited with helpers. Mere seconds later, Jasper Dunford flashed a little razzle dazzle with a backhand tally, assisted by Colby Snoei and Alexander Pallotto.

The teams traded scoring chances late, but Southpoint’s Cooper Miller finished off the natural hat trick and Green’s unbeaten season aspirations as Blue clipped Green in a 3-2 decision.

Memories of...

Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time

Livesey’s store was located along the north side of Heritage Road, just west of the bridge. A boat livery business and bait shop, known as Carlisle’s was established along the canal sometime during the 1940s. Rowboats and canoes were available for rent. The hexagonal booth, located on the right side of this photograph, was constructed to house the summer attendant.

Novice Major A faces St. Thomas in semi-finals The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals continued their play in the OMHA semi-finals this past weekend.

On Saturday, Mar. 2, Southpoint hosted the St. Thomas Stars before a raucous crowd at the Wheatley Arena. As the game began, Southpoint seemed a little tentative but still managed to generate a few scoring chances. St. Thomas, though not many, had their chances as well.

This game was like two boxers who were trading punches Kayden Cook (right) rushes the puck against the Stars. but neither would go down.

(Submitted Photo) Midway through the middle frame, St. Thomas struck first, slipping one past an outstretched pad. For whatever reason, the Capitals played a little tentatively from this point forward, getting away from their normal game of speed and forecheck.

The score remained this way for some time as both teams traded chances in an entertaining affair. Then, with 2:19 remaining, Ben Liebrock flipped the puck out of his zone to Brody Brown who bolted wide around their defenseman and fired his shot in blocker side to even the score.

It looked like the Capitals had finally found their legs, but a mere 40 seconds later, St. Thomas capitalized on a defensive breakdown and potted the go-ahead goal. Southpoint pressed with the extra attacker but was unable to find the equalizer, resulting in a disappointing 2-1 loss.

On Sunday, Mar. 3, the Caps travelled to St. Thomas for Game 4 in the series. Knowing that their backs were against the wall and nothing short of a win was needed, they came out fired up right from the opening face off. They forechecked hard and peppered the St. Thomas goalie with shots until finally, with 2:20 to go in the first, they were rewarded.

Brody Brown won an offensive zone faceoff to Kayden Cook, who rifled his shot in low blocker to gain the lead.

In the second, St. Thomas, while shorthanded, was able to score on a weird play that bounced off the back boards, then the side of the net, then into the net on some confusion between players.

This did not deter the Caps as they continued their pressure from the ensuing face off.

They got the puck deep and forced turnovers until Brayden Foster shot on net. Brody Brown corralled the rebound and sent his pass back to the point where Owen Derksen fired a hard shot on net, through traffic, and it found its way to the back of the net.

Southpoint continued playing hard the rest of the way, controlling the pace and keeping the puck in the offensive zone. Defensively the Capitals were smothering, limiting their opponent to four or five shots the entire game. Christian Papp, between the pipes, though not busy made a couple key saves to secure the 2-1 victory.

Southpoint will host St. Thomas Friday night, March 8, in Leamington at the Highbury Canco rink at 7:30 in the deciding game of this six point series.

Essex Atom AEs drop Bluewater opener The Essex/Southpoint Atom AE Ravens, sponsored by Local 444 Unifor, began playdowns for the Bluewater Hockey League with an away contest versus the Erie North Shore Storm Saturday evening, Mar. 2, in Harrow. Goaltender Nathan Lozon and the tender for the Storm made several key saves in a scoreless first period.

The second frame saw the home team Storm score three unanswered goals to take a firm grip on the scoreboard heading into the third.

Erie scored early in the third for a 4-0 lead but Essex answered back with a goal from Mason Dault, set up by Ellis Fleming. Erie added an insurance tally late in the game to skate away with a convincing 5-1 victory.

Next action for the Ravens will be in Essex Saturday night with the Kent Cobras coming to town.

Flyers meet Rockets in quarter-finals

By Bryan Jessop

Veterans and rookies alike with the Leamington Flyers are finding that an eighth-place team on paper doesn’t always perform like an eighth-place team on ice.

The Western Conference’s regular season champs learned that lesson the hard way Thursday, Feb. 28 with a 1-0 loss to the Strathroy Rockets. The Flyers never quite worked their way out of a rut they found themselves in shortly after the game started, paving the way for their second home ice loss of 2018-’19.

Leamington stumbled out of the gates to start the first period, where its offense struggled to test Strathroy netminder Vince Michellizi.

The Rockets produced the only goal of the game when Zachary Berriault beat Zach Borgiel to the far left side with a high wrist shot. The Flyers were outshot 12-4 through the opening, penalty-free stanza.

The home team improved somewhat for the second period, but was still unable to solve Michellizi. The Flyers mounted a few close call scoring chances, including one shot that grazed the crossbar and deflected above the glass and out of play, but continued to trail 1-0 at the second buzzer.

For the middle frame — also free of penalties for both sides — Leamington doubled its guests on the shot counter 12-6.

The third period belonged to the Flyers’ offense on the shot clock, but the hosts again failed to find their way through Michellizi’s armour. Leamington’s net was empty for the final minute and 37 seconds to deploy an extra forward, but as with the game’s first 58:23, Leamington failed to

produce its first post season tally.

The game ended with the Flyers outshooting the Rockets 30-23. Strathroy was held to zero for one on the man advantage while Leamington was not granted any power play opportunities.

“From here, we’ve got to come out to compete and play like Junior B hockey players.”

— Cam Crowder

“We didn’t work hard enough to win,” Flyers head coach Cam Crowder explained of the Game 1 shutout loss. “Our players thought this was going to be a one versus eight match up, and it’s not. They took it to us. From here, we’ve got to come out to compete and play like Junior B hockey players.”

Team points leader and Leamington resident Adam Jeffery expressed similar sentiments on how the team must approach the rest of the series.

“We’ve got to start playing hard and get pucks in deep,” he noted. “We have to start hitting the bodies.

They’ve got a good team and we’ve got to be ready for them.”

Game 2 brought the teams to Strathroy Saturday, March 2. The series adjusted to 1-1 with a 4-3 Flyers overtime win. Leamington goals were scored by Josh King, Ryan Gagnier, Michael Andrews and in extra minutes, Wyatt O’Neil. From there, the teams headed back to High-

bury Canco Arena Sunday, March 3. The Flyers took a 2-1 series lead with a 4-1 victory. The Flyers’ forward attack was backed by goals from Johnny Ulicny, Thomas Michaud and in the third, two by Adam Jeffery.

Game 4 was played in Strathroy Tuesday, March 5 — results were not available by press deadline.

Game 5 is scheduled for Thursday, March 7 at 7:10 p.m. at Highbury Canco Arena while Saturday, March 9 will bring the teams to Strathroy for a 7:30 p.m. start if necessary.

Should the Western quarterfinal match up go the full distance, Game 7 will be in Leamington Sunday, March 10 at 7:10 p.m.

Lt. Gov. visits Leamington

By Bryan Jessop

Leamington’s thriving greenhouse industry has captured attention from high places in the provincial capital.

Her Honour Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Ontario Lieutenant Governor, paid a visit to the Tomato Capital Wednesday, Feb. 27, where she toured and learned about the ins and outs of the community’s greenhouse and cannabis production industries. Dowdeswell arrived at the municipal building on Erie Street North at 9 a.m. sharp, where she was greeted by mayor Hilda MacDonald.

After a 30-minute conversation over a cup of coffee, Dowdeswell was offered a tour of the Aphria Cannabis Greenhouse on Talbot Street West.

“All facets of the greenhouse industry were covered — the good, the bad, the challenges,” MacDonald explained of the Lieutenant Governor’s visit. “She loved it and was very appreciative of the details.”

Although Dowdeswell had toured greenhouses in her previous travels, the Leamington stop marked her firstever visit to a cannabis production facility. Following the Aphria tour, the Lieutenant Governor and her hosts made their way back to the municipal building’s Ante Room where council holds twice-monthly closed meetings.

There, the group of 16 attendees discussed specific effects of the greenhouse industry on Leamington including the challenge of finding skilled trades workers, housing and hospital services for migrant workers, sewer line and hydro demands and other topics.

The roundtable meeting was also attended by representatives of Aphria, the South Essex Community Council, Erie Shores HealthCare CEO Janice Dawson, Leamington Mexican Consulate consul Alberto Bernal, deputy mayor Larry Verbeke and representatives of the local Migrant Worker Program including one worker who has been employed in Leamington’s greenhouse industry for the past 19 years.

versity, but he’s spent so much time away from his family,” MacDonald explained of the worker, who spoke with Dowdeswell through an interpreter.

After the round table meeting, MacDonald, Verbeke and CAO Peter Neufeld introduced their special guest to other members of council and directors at Thirteen at the Inn on Erie Street South.

“The round table, where I had a chance to hear from the full breadth of citizens from worker to supplier of services around the table, was amazing,” Dowdeswell said. “I couldn’t help but come away with just how proud people are of where they live. The members of the round table were really able to exemplify that. I know that this is a community that obviously is resilient.”

Immediately after lunch at 13 at the Inn, Dowdeswell returned to Toronto for a dinner party. The previous day, she toured sites in Lakeshore and paid a visit to Point Pelee National Park.

Kings get even with ‘Canes

By Bryan Jessop

Early in their Greater Metro Hockey League South Division semifinal series, the Kingsville Kings adjusted well to playing the role of underdog.

After suffering a 7-4 loss in Tillsonburg to start the series against the Hurricanes, Kingsville bounced back in Game 2 with a 6-3 victory to even the best-of-five series at 1-1.

Bryce Tracey’s unassisted effort opened the scoring in the opening frame, although Dmitri Selyutin evened the score — also unassisted — for Tillsonburg to start the second frame tied at one apiece.

The Kings took charge of the second period, starting with a Richard Boruta power play goal after 31 seconds of action. Assists went to Aleksi Haapakoski and Kingsville resident Zachary Dillen. Dillen then made it 3-1 about three minutes later before teammate Zan Markic further added to the home team’s lead. Ivan Vorobyov replied for the Hurricanes 31 seconds later, but Dillen struck again to bring his team to a 5-2 advantage at the second buzzer.

Selyutin started scoring for the third period at about the half way mark for Tillsonburg, but Tracey wrapped things up with six seconds to go for his second of the game. Dillen drew the lone assist to finish the game with five points and earn first star honours.

The Hurricanes outshot the hosts 32-28 as Hans Meling earned the victory in the Kingsville net.

The Kings dropped Game 1 7-4 in Tillsonburg Saturday, March 2. After a scoreless first frame, Taylor Woolcott put the Hurricanes on the scoreboard just after the two-minute mark.

Haapakoski evened the score for Kingsville 44 seconds later, but Noah Demelo brought the ‘Canes back into a one goal lead less than five minutes later. On the power play, Noah Shultz tied the game for the Kings.

Tillsonburg put the game away within the first half of the final period on goals by Jacob Walter, Louis Rabelle, Selyutin and another by Rabelle. Pavel Svoboda replied for Kingsville at precisely the eight-minute mark, but Woolcott added his second of the evening less than two minutes later. Ondrej Benda finished the scoring for the Kings.

Kingsville outshot the host team 33-30.

Results from Game 3 in Tillsonburg (Tuesday, May 5) were not available by press deadline. Game 4 will be played in Kingsville at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 6 and if the series goes the full distance, Game 5 will determine the winner Friday, March 8 with a 7:30 p.m. start in Tillsonburg.

Leamington resident Ken Clark was still a teenager when he bought his first car, a black 1950 Ford sedan purchased in Windsor in the mid-1950s for $400. Under the hood was a flathead V8 engine with all the horsepower that Ken would ever need.

He told me his car had push-button door handles and that was a big deal in 1950, the first year that Ford had THE them. The ’49 Ford had pull-out door handles similar to OLD CAR an old-fashioned refrigerator.

DETECTIVE Another new feature on the ’50 Ford was the new gas Bill Sherk filler door on the left rear fender. The ’49 Ford had the gas cap on the outside of the fender.

Ken enjoyed driving his 1950 Ford until the 3-speed manual transmission conked out and brought the car to a halt. Ken had the car towed home and parked it on the street in front of their house. He was about to crawl under to remove the transmission when a tire suddenly went flat, bringing the car too far down to crawl under.

At this point, Ken decided it was time for an inside job. He removed the centre section of the floor in front of the front seat, lifted the transmission out through the floor, and set it down on the front lawn to repair it.

Close inspection revealed the need for a new cluster gear which Ken found in a scrap yard. To install it, he had to hold the needle bearings in place while putting it in, and this was easier said than done.

Then a brainstorm. Ken coated all the needle bearings with Vicks Vapo-Rub and this held them together long enough for the installation. In no time at all, he was back on the road!

If you find a black 1950 Ford in a barn somewhere, lift up the centre section of the floor in front of the front seat and look inside the transmission (if you can get the cover off).

If you see a coating of Vicks on the needle bearings, you will have found Ken Clark’s first car!

Keith Lindsay memorial tourney a success (Continued from page 15) game, the Kingsville group took the trophy and gold medals with a 2-0 decision over South County Harrow.

A large intermediate contingent of 16 teams was divided into four pools of four teams, where each pool winner advanced to the semifinals. Southpoint Red topped Pool A with 11 points while Southpoint White’s 11 points were only good enough for second in Pool B. Southpoint Red tied Stoney Creek White 0-0 to start their schedule, then blanked South County Harrow 2-0 and edged the Essex Thunder 3-2 to complete pool play. Meanwhile, Southpoint White defeated Stoney Creek Black 3-1, lost 1-0 to Tecumseh Orange and shut out South County Amherstburg 3-0. Southpoint Red beat LaSalle Sabres White 3-0 in the semis and took the championship trophy and gold medals with a 3-1 victory over Tecumseh Orange.

“I’ve got a great team of volunteers that takes care of the weekend with me,” said SMHA director of girls hockey Greg Dries, who led the tournament’s organization for the 11th straight year along with his wife Kelly. “It’s been the same group of people for years — they’ve been awesome every year.”

Proceeds to fund the tournament were raised by per team registration fees of $850, 10 per cent of sales from eight vendors in the Leamington arena’s lobby and $5 per night per room booked by visiting teams through the free service Room Roster. In return, Room Roster only asks that its logo be displayed on the tournament website.

This year’s championship trophies stood 27.5” tall, compared to the 24” versions from previous years. Last year, one of the South County champion teams spent $60 on Bulk Barn Skittles to fill its trophy’s cup in celebration of its success.

“I told them they’d have to spend about $80 if they win it this year,” Dries said with a laugh. “We’ve always preferred offering the trophies instead of banners. When winning teams take them home and display them in their arena’s trophy case, other teams see them and say ‘we want to be in that tournament next year’!”
