The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Essex County Crime Unit is investigating mischief to property on Bevel Line in Leamington.

Sometime overnight on October 29, suspect(s) painted derogatory words and symbols, defacing three signs erected on the recently purchased land designated to be the future home of the Caldwell First Nation.

Caldwell First Nation Chief Louise Hillier has been in touch with the OPP and the investigation is ongoing. There are no suspects at this time.

The OPP requests that anyone with information on this crime or the person(s) responsible immediately contact them at 1-888-3101122.

Should you wish to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Leamington Mayor John Paterson was quick to denounce the act of vandalism, along with many Leamington residents who were disgusted with the act of vandalism and racism.

Mayor Paterson wrote on Facebook: “Town Staff are helping to take them down and deliver them to a local sign maker who will repair them for free. Now that is the Leamington I know!”

Garden tour honours Hospice donors

By Bryan Jessop With winter weather fast approaching, supporters of Erie Shores Hospice were given an up-close and in-person look at the fruits — or rather the flowers — of their generosity.

The local hospice, located across Talbot Street West from Leamington District Memorial Hospital, invited those who contributed to the creation of its surrounding gardens and their families to a Saturday, Oct. 28 tour. Joan and Terry McSweeney, the hospice’s capital campaign co-ordinators and board members of the Erie Shores Hospice, prepared for a guest list of between 50 and 60 visitors to tour the 30 gardens that surround the facility that officially opened in April of this year.

“It’s not something where there’ll be a bunch of speeches,” said Joan, who along with Terry won the Volunteer Citizen of the Year award for 2016 from the Corporation of the Municipality of Leamington. “It’s just meant to be a chance for supporters to see these beautiful gardens. Our donors have been so wonderful. I’ve been so anxious for them to see what they’ve helped accomplish.”

Joan McSweeney (right) points out some of the highlights of the Erie Shores Hospice garden to donor Nancy Pritchard during a garden tour at the facility Saturday, Oct. 29. Twenty-four donors — including Pritchard — contributed to 30 gardens located around the building.

Some of the 24 donors funded multiple gardens around the building. The existing gardens were designed and installed free of charge by Flood Nurseries of Ruthven over a course of about four weeks. The front gardens took about a week while the sides and back, which included a few rain delays, took another three weeks.

“They have been absolutely wonderful to work with,” Joan said of Flood Nurseries and their staff. “They’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could have expected from them.”

Log cabin discovered along Talbot East

By Bryan Jessop What began as an effort to salvage building materials quickly transformed into a ‘window’ of opportunity to preserve a piece of local history.

Earlier this month, business partners Frank Maertens and Lee-Anne Setterington made what they thought would be a quick trip to a property along Talbot Street East between Wheatley and Leamington to save a few reusable windows from demolition. After removing the windows and their framing however, they made a far more unique discovery and wound up saving far more than what they initially intended to spare from the wrecking crew. Upon closer inspection after uninstalling what they originally came for, the pair realized that the building a few feet from the north side of Talbot Street East was in fact a log cabin constructed some time between 160 and 180 years ago.

Lee-Anne noted that the dovetail joints cut into the logs to form the cabin likely date the structure’s original construction between 1830 and 1850. Familiar with Maertens’ and Setterington’s business of repurposing old and used building supplies, the property’s owners Henry and Laurie Hotz invited them to remove the structure’s windows before the remainder was to be demolished. The duo, with permission from the landowners, carefully labeled and removed the logs and structural pieces to be rebuilt on the property of their new owners John and Diane Tofflemire — located directly across the road. The cabin’s logs from floor to ceiling beams were cut from poplar and the now harder to come by white ash, a popular hardwood for construction in the 1800s. By counting rings in the logs, Frank Maertens estimated that the trees used to build the cabin began sprouting in the early 1700s.

Records of the property are difficult to pinpoint because of changes in the address numbers over the years. Leamington historian Scott Holland noted that Hiram Lane was likely the original owner of the building, who may have built it with the help of the Hairsine family that lived across the road. Holland estimated the year of construction to be around 1830.

Frank and Lee-Anne — who officially launched Junk Whisperers in the spring of this year — carefully measured and disassembled the structure log by log after tagging each piece with a code to ensure that it could be rebuilt to the same specifications on the Tofflemire property. Once rebuilt, the cabin will serve as an accessory building alongside the new owners’ outdoor pool. The two-story cabin measured 25 feet by 20 feet by 14 feet high. While removing the second-level flooring, an American dime dated 1876 was found atop one of the 15 inch by eight inch support beams below. The coin, centennial to the country’s independence from England, was worth the equivalent of $2.14 in today’s U.S. currency.

After the log cabin’s discovery was posted on social media, individuals from as far as Florida expressed an interest in purchasing and shipping it to their own communities.

Tofflemire, who knows both the Setterington and Hotz families, wanted to see the building remain in its rural Leamington origins.

“I knew they were going to tear it down, but when I saw Lee-Anne there, I knew something was up,” said John Tofflemire, who along with his wife Diane, is a collector and enthusiast of the area’s historical artifacts. “I think that local heritage is really important. I thought I should see words put into action, so that’s what I did.”

A siding-covered outbuilding on a Talbot Street East property between Leamington and Wheatley was recently discovered to be a log cabin built between the 1830s and 1850s.

Frank Maertens and Lee-Anne Setterington remove floorboards and debris from the site of a log cabin.

The business that eventually led Setterington and Maertens to the log cabin began with building customized bird houses and developed to the point where they began salvaging materials from houses and barns in the Leamington region. The project on the Hotz property was their first log cabin, beginning with the removal of layers of vinyl and wood siding, drywall, vertical planks and carpeting.

“We are trying to save some of the character and craftsmanship in this area from the landfill and burn pit,” LeeAnne noted. “We will remove your building by hand, unusually for free, or for a small cost — then repurpose the materials for others to use.”

SECC hosts open house

By Bryan Jessop The South Essex Community Council in Leamington invited the public to celebrate its past, present and future.

The SECC’s Community Open House and Information Fair took place at its 215 Talbot St. East facility Tuesday, Oct. 18, where dozens of visitors stopped by to learn more about the organization, its programs and services. The seven-hour event began with welcoming words by SECC executive director Carolyn Warkentin, Leamington deputy mayor Hilda MacDonald and community services department coordinator Mark Wybenga. Warkentin welcomed guests for the gathering’s noon start including members of municipal council and representatives of the federal MP of Chatham-Kent-Leamington Dave VanKesteren and Member of Provincial Parliament for Chatham-Kent-Essex Rick Nicholls.

“It’s a wonderful way for a lot of people to find the opportunities to better themselves,” said MacDonald of SECC programming while representing mayor John Paterson, who was attending a conference in Toronto.

Wybenga reflected upon community transit services that have been provided through the SECC since 1991. Over the period of 25 years, he explained, transportation services from the ESCT have included 212,000 rides. The fleet has wracked up 128,800 km over the past year — equivalent to more than three journeys around the Earth.

The service began with humble beginnings based on a single van that could hold 10 walk-on occupants and five wheelchairs and suffered major setback when that vehicle was destroyed in the Sherman Warehouse fire of 1993. Currently, the Erie Shores Community Transit program offers two accessible buses each capable of carrying 14 to 16 passengers and five wheelchairs in addition to an accessible van that can haul five passengers and two wheelchairs and a 14-passenger shuttle van that was on display during the open house. The program offers affordable transit to physically challenged commuters, those who utilize SECC programs and seniors as well as transportation to St. Clair College in Windsor.

Wybenga credited support from the Erie Shores Local Health Integrated Network (LHIN) and its predecessors for providing the funding to keep the transit service running as well as the communities that benefit from it and other SECC services.

“If it were not for the initial and ongoing support of our three local municipalities — Leamington, Kingsville and Chatham-Kent — this service never would have got out of park,” Wybenga stated.

The second main focal point of the open house’s kickoff was SECC language class programming that was recently treated to a renovation of facilities. New space has been available to such courses — dubbed Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada or LINC — since the second week of September this year. Courses now offer a total of 150 seats, about 110 of which are presently filled. Four instructors — two for daytime courses and two for evening classes — provide instruction to new immigrants and refugees at seven levels divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced categories. A new addition to the LINC program is now available to newcomers who are not literate in their native languages.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada provided a portion of the money needed for renovations, although SECC fundraising met most of the financial requirements for upgrades.

“It means a great deal to SECC that we are supported by so many in the community,” Warkentin said. “We endeavor every day to provide the best community services we can.”

South Essex Community Council executive director Carolyn Warkentin, members of Leamington municipal council and LINC students perform a ribbon cutting to dedicate the newly renovated classroom spaces at the SECC as part of its open house Tuesday, Oct. 18.

Following a ribbon cutting for the renovated space — conducted by Warkentin and LINC students as well as Leamington council members — guests were offered tours, snacks and refreshments and access to a display of pamphlets and flyers describing the services of the SECC and partner organizations using the same building. The event also included children’s activities, a volunteer appreciation coffee break, employer appreciation reception for businesses that work alongside the SECC and a community mosaic.

The SECC — launched in 1973 — is operated by 65 staff members, nearly 500 volunteers and nine board members. For more information on the organization, its programs and services, visit the website www.secc.on.ca.

Memories of winter songs, fall colours and bugs When you think back to all of that science stuff we learned in school, it makes you wonder how much of it we retained and how much of it we’ve actually managed to put to use over the years.

Take the fall colour change for instance. We all had those science projects where we had to collect leaves and dry them out under plastic wrap and pin them to a board.

We did the same thing with wild plants, weeds and insects too.

I’m not sure if they do those anymore, but what better way to teach a kid about those things than with hands-on experience.

Sure we learned about photosynthesis, pollination and how to tell the filament from the stamen, but the hands-on projects really brought it all home.

As adults, we now come to expect the changing of the colours in the fall and we tend to know what clouds are going to produce snow just by looking at them.

We can think back to all of those seemingly boring classes in school where we learned to tell a cumulonimbus cloud from a stratus, and to this day, I likely can’t tell you the difference but the names stick out for some reason.

Those insect projects were always a blast to do.

Living inside the national park, I had access to an abundance of walking sticks, praying mantis and ladybugs, where the non-park residents had to settle for grasshoppers and beetles.

Catching them was difficult because my mom was afraid of anything that moved, from snakes at the top of her list to grasshoppers at the bottom.

So it was a challenge as a 6-or-7-year-old trying to get this project completed on time, but I usually managed.

It’s likely politically incorrect to catch, kill and display these insects nowadays.

But we learned a lot about the make-up of these little creatures and it was always fun trying to catch them.

So here I am some fifty years later and I can tell a grasshopper from a katydid and the song of the red-wing blackbird from a common grackel. That all came from being part of a curriculum in a rural school and part of a family of outdoor-type people.

I often bring up my time at Gore Hill and think of what a

unique education it must have been. Granted, I didn’t attend any other school during that time, so East Mersea, Ridge, Mount Carmel and Blytheswood might have had very similar things.

MARK Funny, I was at a staff RIBBLE Christmas party a few years ago and we brought up old winter songs and Rib’s stuff we had learned in Ramblings school.

I mentioned the song ‘Here Comes Suzy Snowflake’ and nobody else in the room had ever heard of that song. Here I was, the only Gore Hillian in the place, apparently the only one familiar with good old Suzy Snowflake. I didn’t dare trot out ‘January Jolly, February Bold’ or even ‘Little Jack Frost.’

Obviously my city-slicker co-workers had not been afforded the good old rural winter songs that us hillbillies had learned. Too bad for them.

They were brought up on snooty classics like Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland and Frosty the Snowman. Well la-di-da.

So, armed with my old grade six music duo-tang, all tattered and torn on the outside, the blue ink from the Ditto machine faded badly on the foolscap, I sat down and leafed through that old booklet, reminiscing about ditties long forgotten.

Mrs. White would be proud, I guess, knowing that at least some of it stuck.

I can still recite the lyrics to the Winnie The Pooh theme song at my advanced age.

Sing with me, “Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood, where Christopher Robin plays.”

Okay enough of that.

Suffice to say that as kids we thought we’d never need any of this stuff we learned in school, and while much of that plays out to be true, I can honestly say I’ve retained more from those days than I’d like to sometimes admit.

So, I’ll keep on watching those leaves turn colour as the blue jays squawk and the geese form the flying V, tipping my hat to those days gone by and hoping I can still remember this stuff in another 20 years.

One step forward, two back “Everything works out in the end. So if things aren’t working out, then it isn’t the end.” – Wisdom Quotes I am starting exactly where I left off last time, reminding myself that it is a better place to continue from than the beginning.

Monday morning arrived very early this week as I flipflopped in bed. My mind was jumping from shingling, guttering, gardening and baking. A melee of thoughts synopsed through my brain. I should have got up and started writing but didn’t, and instead finally awoke to a fresh new week not feeling very refreshed!

My mother, who tends to sense at a telepathic level the good, bad and indifferent going on her children’s lives, reached out to me first thing as she often does. “I don’t know how to ‘twitter’ and certainly can’t ‘tweet’ but when it comes to Hallowe’en I sure know how to treat”! Mom was busy making dozens of chocolate chip cookies for a gathering in her building that evening. I could almost smell them.

Her message came at the best of times since I was not only feeling tired but a little frazzled as well! We still do not have phone communication or cheap Internet but used our voice over the Internet (VOIP) app on my phone and called her through our satellite. It was great to hear her voice and listen to her calm reasoning.

Every day, Mark, the crew and I are finding more and more damage here and there around the island. We certainly feel ‘one step forward and two back’ at the moment.

It is hard to know where to begin.

Last week, Engine and Cruz got up on the roof of Arthur’s shop on a calm day. By the end of the day they had secured tar paper over the entire roof to buy us some time until we were able to get new shingles shipped over on a barge from the U.S. Unfortunately, their achy backs lasted longer than the work they had done when gale force winds plus torrential rain arrived and stayed for the entire weekend!

My friend says that my glass tends to be half full, and

SHANNON the good thing that has MATHESON come out of this is that I have never seen Arthur’s shop so clean.

However, the yard out and around it is littered Lifestyles... with shredded tarpaper BROUGHT TO YOU BY: and shingles.

The gale force winds www.southpointford.ca were a disappointment all the way around. Mark and I were looking forward to hosting our friends and neighbours from Big Whale Cay on the weekend. Wind and rain on Saturday forced us to send out smoke signals to our friends asking for a rain check for Sunday. Sunday arrived and by then both of our boats were out of commission, leaving us all stranded! Mark and I enjoyed the meal I had prepared over a three-day leftover plan and continued with a routine of nightly dominoes and an episode or two of ‘Boston Legal’.

Thank goodness for social media! We love being updated about goings-on back home; however, with mixed feelings. The opening of The Pogue Irish Pub in Wheatley has us salivating for a pint of beer or a taste of the seafood chowder everyone has been raving about. How lucky are the residents and visitors of Wheatley to have an option on every corner!

We know that the grass isn’t greener here, there or anywhere, but from our vantage point here now, it is all looking very tall. Our typically neatly trimmed hedges are overgrown, the sea salt burnt flowering bushes are trying to recover, more leaky roofs continue to be found and our hearts are disheartened for the moment.

“Life is not about how you survive the storm; it’s about how you dance in the rain.” – Author Unknown With this quote that my mother sent me in mind, I head out the door to dance in the rain and get stuff done. That’s all we can do!

St. Michael’s Church nears completion - first mass Nov. 4

By Bryan Jessop Parishioners of St. Michael’s Church will soon find themselves at a familiar location, but in brand new surroundings.

After approximately one year, construction of the new Catholic church on Elliott Street in Leamington is nearly done. With only a few minor details to be taken care of, the first mass at the new St. Michael’s Catholic Church will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4. Open to all members of the public, the mass will be followed by a reception in the main hall that will act as a sort of open house for the new building.

Father Patrick Fuerth explained that as many as 700 to 800 members of the St. Michael’s congregation and other visitors from the community could attend the mass and reception, although he also noted that attendance for the new church’s first service is difficult to predict. The mass will be officiated by Bishop R.P. Fabbro of the Diocese of London.

Because of his limited availability, the new St. Michael’s first mass is being scheduled for a Friday instead of Sunday.

The contract to build the new church was awarded to Amico, a business based in Oldcastle with roots in Leamington. Amico also built the new Erie Shores Hospice on Talbot Street West across from Leamington District Memorial Hospital. Because of the unusually warm winter of 2015-16, the replacement of the old St. Michael’s Church was a quicker process than expected with no delays.

Fuerth noted that the Nov. 4 mass and reception could be standing room only. The new building will be able to seat 600 parishioners with an overflow capacity for about 100 more. Video hookup to the hall — built in the new church’s basement as a means of saving space — will also be available. The old St. Michael’s building could hold a capacity of about 400 worshipers. For those with limited mobility, a wheelchair ramp has been installed between the basement/ hall and main floor.

Mosaics, five stained glass windows, marble and other portions of the old structure were saved and incorporated into the new structure.

“We saved whatever we could,” Fuerth said.

Although it uses what is essentially the same footprint as the old church, some portions of the new St. Michael’s make the completed structure noticeably wider. Fuerth explained that the interior is significantly different than what members of the church were accustomed to prior to construction.

“It’s just beautiful,” he said. “The interior designer (Achim Klaas of Cambridge, ON) did a wonderful job.”

Planning for a new church on Elliott Street began about six years ago, when estimates on what resources would be needed to simply refurbish the old building came out to roughly $2 million. From there, plans for a new church were put in place and were backed by several fundraisers and local donations, including an upcoming dinner at the Roma Club on Saturday that has been sold out.

“There has been an incredible amount of support,” Fuerth said. “People gave from $2 to several thousands of dollars.”

Current plans include transforming St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Sherk Street into a youth centre. Fuerth noted that plans dating back about 50 years were based on a vision to maintain a parish on one site, but after certain parcels of land were sold to developers, the idea was scrapped.

“It was a good plan, but it turned out that it wasn’t feasible,” he stated.

“When we rolled out beer in 2015, we committed to equal shelf space for domestic craft and multinational brands – to the benefit of our customers and small Ontario brewers,” said Greg Ramier, head of liquor sales at Loblaw Companies Limited. “We look forward to giving customers access to great Ontario wines, and giving great Ontario wines access to new customers.”

James Lea, manager at Leamington’s Real Canadian Superstore, is excited for the renovations happening at his store right now. The Leamington location will have the new Click and Collect online shopping service, as well as a new optical department. The Leamington store will also enjoy an expanded Joe Fresh section.

Pat Haynes and Leamington Arts Centre director Chad Riley reveal the Frederick Arthur Verner painting “Cedars at Point Pelee”, donated to the LAC by Pat and John Haynes earlier last month.

The print is the Centre’s first Verner and the first to be displayed in the community since another at the Leamington library was sold in the early 1990s.

Locally-inspired painting donated to LAC

By Bryan Jessop Visitors of the Leamington Arts Centre may soon find that they have a new F.A.V.-ourite piece the next time they visit its galleries.

Kingsville couple Pat and John Haynes donated the painting “Cedars at Point Pelee” to the LAC on Tuesday, Oct. 11, complete with a small plaque inscribed with “Donated in memory of Dora and Robert Brown” applied to the top of what is believed to be the original frame. The contribution was made in honour of Pat’s parents Dora and Robert, who originated from Leamington. Pat noted that she lived on Mill Street in Leamington for several years during her youth. Both Dora and Robert Brown were raised on Concession 5 east of Highway 77 and both attended Mount Carmel School when it was on the side of the 5th opposite to its current location.

Cedars at Point Pelee is a watercolour piece painted by Canadian artist Frederick Arthur Verner in 1891. Verner was known for sketches and paintings he created as he travelled from western Quebec to Canada’s west coast. He was born in Hammondsville, Ontario — later to be renamed Sheridan, which was incorporated into Oakville in 1962 — and joined the British army after studying in London, England. Verner returned to Canada in 1862 and eventually befriended longtime idol Paul Kane, whose work was also inspired by Canada’s western landscapes.

Much of Verner’s work can be found at the National Gallery in Ottawa. One of his paintings was on display at the Leamington Library for several years, but was sold along with three other pieces by other artists for a combined $43,000 in the early 1990s. Cedars at Point Pelee was purchased by the Haynes at Waddington’s Auction House in Toronto in 2002.

“Partially, we bought it because it was from a well-known Canadian artist, but also because it is of Point Pelee,” explained Pat, who along with John has a collection of Canadian art and has attended several auctions in previous years.

Considering the painting’s theme and contents, the couple felt that the Leamington Arts Centre would make an ideal home for Cedars at Point Pelee.

“We just thought that since it’s of Point Pelee, it should be in Leamington,” John added of the decision to donate the piece. “It’s an amazing part of the country. We heard the gallery was getting its own collection of Canadian art and since Pat’s parents were so good to us, we liked the idea of donating it in memory of them.”

John noted that many of the painting’s admirers find it curious that two rummaging pigs

Farm Credit gives $17,500 to Erie Shores Hopsice Farm Credit Canada presented the Hospice Erie Shores Campus with a generous donation of $17,500 last week. Senior Relationship Managers Paul Bateman, left, and Dave Orosz, right, from Farm Credit Canada presented Sheila McBrayne, Chair of the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Foundation, a cheque for $17,500 from the AgriSpirit Fund for the Erie Shores Hospice Capital Campaign. Erie Shores Hospice applied for consideration in the summer and qualified for the AgriSpirit Fund. The donation will help complete the capital fundraising for the Hospice in Leamington, which serves Essex County. The FCC AgriSpirit Fund is about enhancing rural communities through capital projects in cities and towns with less than 150,000 people. The donation of $17,500 will be used to help ensure the Hospice is able to provide programs and services at no cost to the patients and their families.

can be seen in its foreground. Although wild pigs are not native to the Leamington area, he explained that its possible pigs from nearby farms occasionally wandered off their property and onto Pelee land.

The small plaque at the bottom of the frame containing the painting’s name also includes the acronym A.R.C.A. — a prestigious designation standing for Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Art. “We’re really happy to have it,” said LAC director Chad Riley. “We look forward to adding it to our collection and to display. Verner is very well known and this painting is in excellent condition. Being a local theme makes it even more significant. It’s great to have it here in a local art gallery.”

Riley noted that Pat and John are long-term board members of the LAC and that they’ve supported the organization in many ways. John, an artist himself, had an exhibit on display at the LAC in December of last year.

The two gardens set up immediately before the front entrance of the hospice have been donated by Wendy’s Restaurant of Leamington and the Leamington Firefighters Association. Impressed with Leamington Fire Service’s response and handling of a fire that damaged the local restaurant in November of last year, Wendy’s decided to let the Leamington Firefighters Association choose the recipient for proceeds raised at a charitable luncheon held on the reopening of the Oak Street West business. The organization selected Erie Shores Hospice and as a result, had one of the gardens dedicated in their name.

The design of donor signs was created by Patty Kristy of Graphic Gourmet, which was applied by Laser Art in Harrow. The backing and posts for the signs were donated by UniFab of Leamington.

The afternoon tour was attended by representatives of Flood’s Nurseries, the LFFA, the McSweeneys, Erie Shores Hospice director of community outreach enhancement and engagement Fr. Matt Durham and community outreach enhancement and engagement operations manager Hana Irving.

LFS selects fire safety poster winners

By Pat Bailey Although she’s been in Canada less than a year, Ghina Hamra is adjusting nicely to the customs, traditions and life as a student at Gore Hill Public School.

Among those traditions that the seven-year-old recently took part in was the Leamington Fire Services annual fire safety poster contest.

Deputy Chief, Public Education, Mike Ciacelli said the importance of fire safety education actually has roots dating back to 1871 and Mrs. O’Leary’s cow.

Ciacelli said when about 1/3 of a city like Chicago is lost in a fire, word spreads, much like the fire did — even without social media. But he said it was in the 1960s that the local fire department realized the importance of public education, especially to the youngsters in the Leamington community with the fire safety poster contest.

The deputy chief said Southland Insurance has played a tremendous role in helping keep the community safe, sponsoring the contest for 50 years.

Wednesday evening, Oct. 26, young Ghina helped spread the word in her new community. She was the winner in the Grade One division.

The youngster was all smiles as she accepted her trophy and her prize packet on stage from Ciacelli and his sidekick, Sparky.

“It was really cool,” she said following the ceremony.

Her parents, Hannaa and Sobhi, were proud of their eldest daughter’s accomplishment and are enjoying their new life in Leamington after escaping from Damascus, Syria, and landing in Leamington last January.

Hannaa said they are especially appreciative of the opportunities available to her children as they grow in their new home.

For Ciacelli, it was an evening celebrating fire safety. He

This year’s Leamington Fire Services’ fire safety poster contest winners received their prizes Wednesday evening, Oct. 26, at the Leamington Fire Trade Show at the Kinsmen Recreation Comples. Winners are, front row, left to right: Grand prize winner Lily Delorenzi (Gr. 4, St. Louis), Sparky, Logan Tavares (3rd place Gr. 6, St. Louis) Jacey Foster (2nd place Gr. 5, Gore Hill), Rylee Gillett (3rd place Gr. 4, Gore Hill), Thomas West (1st place Gr. 6, St. Louis), Brooklyn Loeppgy (2nd place Gr. 6, St. Louis), Lily Steinhoff (3rd place Gr. 5, Gore Hill) and Matthew Neufeld (2nd place Gr. 3, St. Louis). Back row: Daniella Smith (1st place Gr. 2, Queen Elizabeth), Delilah Heide (3rd place Gr. 2, Mt. Carmel-Blytheswood), Ghina Hamra (1st place Gr. 1, Gore Hill), Charlie Ketler (2nd place Gr. 1, Mt. Carmel-Blytheswood), Lucas Delorenzi (1st place Gr. 3, St. Louis), Emily Paquette (3rd place Gr. 1, Gore Hill), Matthew Zakaria (3rd place Gr. 3, St. Louis), Drake Wigle (2nd place Gr. 2, East Mersea), Tristan Pillon (1st place Gr. 5, St. Louis) and Mike Ciacelli, Deputy Chief, Public Education, Leamington Fire Services. Absent from photo: Justine Desforges-Maxon (2nd place Gr. 4, Mill St.)

told the group that often when they see fire trucks racing to a fire he feels that the public education program has not done its job.

The ceremony was held in conjunction with the departments 2nd Annual Fire Trade Show.

Ciacelli said by hosting their own show locally, firefighters from Essex, Kent and Lambton counties, who don’t generally get the opportunity to attend conferences or trade

shows, can take advantage of viewing the latest fire equipment and gear without having to travel a great distance.

The deputy chief said the trade show expanded drastically since it inaugural show last year and he expects it to continue to grow.

In addition to the poster safety awards ceremony and the trade show, Leamington also played host to the fire chiefs zone meeting to wrapping up Fire Prevention Month.

LDSS senior girls basketball vs. Westview Leamington’s Olivia Symons puts her hands up in an effort to block a pass from a Westview player during the first half of a WECSSAA Tier III senior girls basketball game at LDSS Tuesday, Oct. 25. The Lions’ offense started the game on a strong note and carried the momentum to triple their guests in a 45-15 victory. Shelby Bekaan led the Leamington attack with 14 points. The LDSS team’s regular season will end Tuesday, Nov. 1 at home against the UMEI Lightning.

Sunbrite Stars tie LaSalle The Sunbrite Southpoint Intermediate Stars ventured to LaSalle on Saturday night to take on the Sabre Cats. Goaltending was the strength in this game as both teams matched each other evenly throughout the game, resulting in a final score of 1-1.

Stars netminder Sam Hartleib played another strong game, holding LaSalle to one goal. The Lady Stars relied on their strong penalty kill to generate offence. Kim Goyeau sniped a beautiful “shorty” as her point shot hit the post, then the back of the goalie’s leg, and then went in the net.

Assists went to Lea Marshall and Kayla Collison.

teams was raised, well, then it’s a no-brainer. Otherwise, you put your own personFinding a way to care finalist alized formula to work and come up with someone to root for. Personally, if I don’t like

As I started typing away at this week’s column, Game 5 of the World Series was just getting underway. With the exception Jessop’s of bandwagoners, most people in this neck of the woods don’t Journal really have a vested interest in the outcome.

Cleveland was up three games to one at the time and as a Tigers fan, I couldn’t really get into it. Oh, it was still interesting to see who’s utterly ancient championship drought was about to come to an end, but it was never as if I was going to be inspired to run out and buy an Indians or Cubs jersey. Either way, another one of the very few “Big Four” current slumps that’s stood longer than the Leafs’ 49-year train wreck was about to expire.

This will almost forever be the plight of the diehard sports fan, depending on the team(s) he or she supports. When you’re a fan of, say for example, the Habs, Tigers and Bills (I’ve never followed NBA basketball close enough to have a favourite), the seasons where you’re glued to the TV for every passing second of the Stanley Cup finals, World Series or Super Bowl are few and far between. Sure, I still kept tabs on MLB playoffs even after Detroit screwed up royally on a great chance to snag a wildcard spot, but it just wasn’t the same as say, watching them march to the final showdown and choke against the Cardinals (2006) or Giants (2012).

My problem with the MLB is that there’s only one team I like, one team I loathe (the Yankees) and a couple teams I don’t care for (the Twins and Jays — the former a team that for several seasons always seemed to have Detroit’s number and the latter a simple matter of geographic rivalry). It’s not like the NHL, where I harbour completely neutral sentiments to about half a dozen teams. As a sort of hockey purist, I offer at the very least a significant degree of disdain towards each of Bettman’s precious southern U.S. franchises. In baseball, those cities have every right to an MLB squad, although some are more supportive and deserving of “their” team than others (can someone just move the Marlins to Vancouver, Sacramento, Nashville or Buffalo already?).

So with that in mind, how do most fans who love a certain sport as a whole — no matter what — pick a team to root for after their own has been shown the proverbial door? If you’re a bandwagoner or someone who lives in a town where a player on one of the two

or hate one finalist more than the other, I’ll either keep my fingers crossed for the smaller and/or more northerly market. Otherwise, I’ll cheer on the team that’s either never won a championship before or who is experiencing the lengthier drought.

That particular system brings back memories of the 1991 Stanley Cup final. It was between two northern cities that had never witnessed the ultimate in NHL glory — the Minnesota North Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins. At the time unaware of how hockey crazy Minnesota actually was/is, I was indifferent to both teams. I had to go pretty far to come up with a “who to root for” tiebreaker and decided to cheer on the North Stars since I wasn’t exactly Mario Lemieux’s biggest fan. That of course translated into six-game disappointment, but that’s life in the wide world of sports.

One easy way to both pick and stick with a team you couldn’t otherwise care less about is to get involved in a pool with friends, co-workers and/or family. At that point, it’s not just about winning enough money to buy a few groceries or fill your car’s gas tank. Nope, there’s pride and bragging rights on the line after you’ve made your picks. As of this point, I’ve got next to nothing to brag about or be proud of in regards to my NFL pool. Believe me, it’s quite humbling when you take the time to go over stats and the history of recent results to make picks only to be shown up (SEVERAL times) by those who are basing selections on jersey colours or the city with the coolest name.

The only other means of taking an interest in regular season games between two teams you could care less about is making note of which of the two is closer to YOUR team in the standings. Even with the Canadiens off to another roaring start, I cheer on the teams who face their closest adversaries in the Atlantic. It is, after all, VERY early in the season (if Edmonton’s first-place grasp in the Pacific doesn’t tell you how much hockey there is to play between now and April, nothing will). I clearly remember last season’s record-tying start for Montreal and the ensuing weeks-long implosion that got them nowhere near a playoff spot.

Anyway, as I start to wrap up this particular column, it’s starting to look like Cleveland will snap a 68-year skid while the Cubs’ exercise in futility will reach 108 years and counting… so close yet so far. I was actually rooting for Chicago (based on the “longer of the two standing droughts” method), despite the fact that their last two World Series titles each came at the expense of the Tigers. That was 66 and 67 years before I was even born, so I guess I can let it slide. Hmmm, maybe I should start betting on one team while actually rooting for the other. I could do that while getting involved in Pro Line and then never pay out of pocket for a tank of gas ever again.

Bailey Atom girls beat Essex The Bailey Machining Inc. Southpoint Atom Stars played host to the Essex Thunder on Sunday afternoon.

The Stars played a very strong game and carried a lead until late in the third period when the Thunder scored two goals in a span of 14 seconds to win by a score of 3-2.

Lily St. Pierre played brilliantly in net for the Bailey Stars as she made several key saves throughout this exciting game. Blair Bailey and Megan Derbyshire lit the lamp, scoring the big goals for the Stars. Assists were by Abby Neufeld and Emma Weil.

Highbury Canco girls lose to Windsor Southpoint’s Highbury Canco Intermediate girls took on Windsor 5 on the weekend. The play was slightly in favour of the Windsor team who had an advantage in the speed department.

Highbury’s passing was off, with too many going to the wrong coloured jersey. The score was 0-0 until well into the second period. Windsor put one past Southpoint’s Caitlin Preston, who had made a number of good saves up to that point.

As play continued the Southpoint girls had their chance but couldn’t find the back of the net. Kelsey Babkirk and Connie Wiebe both came close to scoring with solid shots. Windsor scored one more in the third and won the game 2-0.

Bantam Stars battle Tiger Cats The Switzer-Carty Southpoint Bantam Stars battled a tough Tecumseh Tiger Cats team. This was a very exciting game that saw 11 goals scored between the two teams.

Both teams showed how explosive their offence was; however, when the dust settled it was Tecumseh that edged out the Lady Stars by a score of 6-5.

Tarez Raheb paced the attack, scoring a pair of goals. Singles went to Lexy Iacobelli, Raine Schiefer and Charlene Smith. Scoring assists were Alexa Taylor (3), Schiefer, Smith, Stephanie Wiebe, Jaryn Harris, Kaylie Goodchild and Alyssa Lamb.

Novice Grey loses 5-2

The Southpoint Sun - 17

Holden Bailey of RFH Novice Majors outskates his opponents.

RFH Novice Majors win and tie The Southpoint Reid Funeral Home Novice Major “A” team played the Amherstburg Stars on Oct. 14. They carried the momentum from their silver medal performance in Halton Hills and topped the Stars 2-1 in their first action since tournament play.

The Capitals drew first blood with a second period goal by Zack Liebrock. It was an amazing give-and-go play between Liebrock and Nicholas Brophey where the puck ended up in the roof of the net. Holdyn Bailey also drew an assist on the play.

Nicholas Brophey scored midway through the third to give the Caps a 2-0 lead and they never looked back. Amherstburg did score a late third period goal, but it wasn’t enough and Southpoint took the game.

The RFH Novice Majors played two games the weekend of Oct. 22 and came away with a tie and a win.

On Sat. Oct. 22 they faced off against Erie North Shore in the Wheatley Area Arena.

Grant Symons got the Caps on the board early with helpers going to Owen Deneau and Landen Bradley. Erie drew even halfway through the first in a hotly contested battle. Both teams played with passion and intensity and Erie carried the play for the better part of the game. However, the Caps had stellar goaltending from Andrew Demant and Tomas Kniaziew as well as topnotch defensive play in their own end.

Symons scored again in the second to put the Caps on top again. Assists went to Holden Bailey and Liam Brown.

In spite of being badly outshot, the Caps held the lead until late in the third period when Erie scored a late goal to knot the game at two apiece and that’s how it ended. It was a great game played by evenly matched teams.

On Sun. Oct. 23 the Caps visited the Amherstburg Stars and had a fantastic game.

The RFH Novice Majors came out flying and despite a scoreless first period they really took control of the game. It was a complete role reversal from the previous game where they seemed to be more on their heels.

The boys netted 3 second-period goals, two by Grant Symons and one by Ethan Barnewall.

Apples were served up by Mason Dault, Caidon Fuller, Grant Symons, Liam Brown, Nicholas Brophey and Carson Koehler.

The Caps filled up the score sheet again in the third when they ripped two more goals.

Symons completed the hat trick and he wasn’t done yet as he tacked on a fourth goal in true Austin Matthews style. Helpers went to Brophey, Koehler and Fuller, each with their second assists of the game, and Holden Bailey added an assist of his own.

M.D. Bennie Bulldogs

M.D. Bennie Bulldogs go the distance

By Students Claudia Schmitt and Keegan Kewaquom M.D. Bennie Public School’s cross-country team traveled to Lakeside Park on October 5 to brave the hills and run their hearts out. They ran courageously among the hundreds of kids against them while trying their hardest. The racing course definitely was not something everyone could handle, but the steep slopes did not stop them. Mr. Douma and Mrs. Fritsch, the cross-country coaches, are very proud of the runners.

Prior to this meet the M.D. Bennie cross-country team participated at a meet at East Mersea Public School. Team members placed among the best, taking home gold, silver and bronze medals. Way to go, Bulldogs!

by Friday at 3:00 pm A teenager with a 1949 Monarch sedan

All-original 1949 Monarch 4-door sedan spotted about twenty years ago behind a barn in southern Ontario. This is what Lynn Nash’s Monarch looked like before he got his hands on it.

Lynn Nash was born in the early ’40s and got his driver’s license in the late ’50s while living near Hamilton. And once you got your license, you just had to get a car.

“My first car was a ’49 Monarch. I took what was a nice 4-door sedan, stripped off all the chrome and door handles, hood and deck handles, took all the vertical bars from the grille, put ’58 Chev taillights on it, a solenoid to The Lions’ Allan Botham bumps a Sandwich Sabres’ serve during a WECSSAA Tier I senior boys volleyball match at LDSS Thursday, Oct. 27. Leamington lost for the first time this seaopen doors etc., ’54 Merc engine, straight through Hollywood Glaspaks (would it ever pop son, winning the first set 29-27, but dropping the second two 26-24 and 25-13. coming down Hwy 20 off the escarpment!), purple lights in the inside windshield corners, red ones inside both front doors, black paint, lowered chassis, ’54 Chev spinners (ownership hazy), and hand-painted red goopy upholstery that dried like parchment. I could beat the kid with the ’40 Ford coupe with a Dodge Red Ram in it in the quarter mile up Mud Street.

“By all that’s holy, I IN MEMORIAM should never have made it to age 21! And of course there was the Stoney Creek September 30, 1954 - November 2, 2011 Dairy and the Fish & Chips place down on the beach KEN & TAMMY CAMPBELL where we farm kids would get into it with the toughs from the Beach Strip. The stories go on and on…”

Lynn’s 1949 Monarch was built in Windsor, headquarters of Ford of Canada since 1904. The first Monarchs came out in 1946 with their name reflecting the Your wings were ready, but our hearts were not. close ties between Canada Five years ago today we lost our hero... and Britain during World an amazing husband, dad and grandpa.

War Two. The Monarch There's not a day that goes by that we don't miss you, was the Canadian version think of you or speak of you.

Forever in our hearts! of the Mercury and by 1947 was sold through 760 FordYour girls ~ November 1, 1986 ~ Anita Monarch dealers all across Love Mom Sarah, Kathleen and Allison Canada. Another 353 dealers sold the Mercury, Lincoln, and Mercury trucks. th When Lynn’s ’49 Monarch 4-door sedan was new, it cost $2,635 and had a 255 cubic inch flathead V8 under the hood capable of producing 110 horsepower. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy Lynn. Out came the flathead and in went th a ’54 Mercury overheadvalve V8 with 256 cubic inches cranking out a tiresquealing 161 horsepower.

No wonder Lynn was able to beat that ’40 Ford coupe with the Dodge Red Ram ~ November 7 ~ engine!
