Leamington voters heard from the two mayoral candidates at the Chamber of Commerce All Candidates Night held on Tuesday, October 7.

Improving Leamington’s downtown, taxes and creating more employment were the top issues discussed. Mayoral hopefuls John Paterson and Charlie Wright exchanged their ideas and plans to see Leamington through the next four years, based on questions asked by moderator Kevin Black.

Incumbent Mayor John Paterson told potential voters that he had let his intentions to run for mayor for a second term be known since early Janu-

Two and a half months of solitude Here we were once again in Lauderdale. I was excited to arrive back to the hubbub for many reasons but not to escape the solitude that I’ve so enjoyed on the island.

Our last weekend prior to flying off island was a hit and a great relief! One of the island owners arrived on the Friday and we flew off together to Nassau on the Sunday. I was responsible for three meals a day during her stay with us. I had been stewing about this for quite some time since this would be the first time I would chef on my own. Well, it didn’t take long for me to get my groove back!

After the first lunch where I served Grilled Ahi Tuna encrusted in garlic, ginger and sesame served on a bed of mixed greens, I relaxed and decided to grab hold of my spatula and see where it took me! It’s safer than a broom in October.

I accredit my comfort in the kitchen from growing up in a family that loves preparing good foods and eating them even more. Cooking fish comes naturally, having been born and bred in Wheatley, “the freshwater fishing capital of the world”. Bahamians are very proud of their fish, as they should be, but they met their match when they met me!

I am quick to ask them if they have ever tasted perch, pickerel or whitefish and shocked to hear that most, if not all, have not. Hopefully, someday soon, I can share our Lake Erie delicacies with them.

That same evening I served goat cheese stuffed chicken breast with a white wine sauce and roasted root vegetables.

The highlight was my lemon curd tartlets for dessert.

The next morning after a breakfast of yogurt, homemade granola, fruit and a tiny pumpkin and cranberry muffin, or ‘muffikin’ as I call them, Mark greeted some fishermen into the harbor. Red snapper and parrot fish were the ‘catch of the day’ that they generously offered in exchange for a cold drink.

Parrotfish is white and quite meaty and there is an abundance of them. I grilled the fillet with butter, lemon and some blackening spices and served a lovely Asian salad on the side. At one time, this fish was referred to as ‘royal’ be-

cause it was only served to the kings.

SHANNON That same night, we MATHESON enjoyed the red snapper baked whole with a side of Joe Muer’s famous creamed spinach. We all felt like kings and queens Lifestyles... for the day.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Before I knew it, Sunday arrived and we were leaving to enjoy a week on the mainland. I was especially excited because a girlfriend from home was meeting us for five days of fun and relaxation. I couldn’t wait to go out for a dinner and be served for a change.

We all worked together to purchase needed items for the island and restock our groceries. If I had remembered to bring my grocery list, this task would have been much easier. A call alerted us to the fact that lightening struck a large tree on the island and knocked out our VHF system, so the hunt for a new one was added to our cart. By day three we finally were able to imbibe in a little fun and even take a well-deserved nap.

It was very sad to say good-bye to our visitor but I was thankful for the time together. The visit reconfirmed for me, that of all the things I missed the most, my friends topped the list along with a good dinner out once in a while. This past week fulfilled both. I look forward to seeing Charlie our little dog. He is beginning to look like a wooly little lamb. Poor little guy will have to be groomed by me when I return and with his skinny little legs this will not be an easy task.

We will be back to Lauderdale one more time prior to Christmas, and then our busy season will begin. It may be well into January before we have another break, which will truly test our resistance to ‘island fever’. At the moment though, the only bug I have is the itch to get back to our new little home.

Lally

Don’t sweat the small stuff We’ve often heard the saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

It could have thousands of applications in our lives, from family issues to job issues to life in general. Anything that stresses us on a daily basis is eligible for not sweating the small stuff.

As Thanksgiving weekend came and went, it got me thinking: What are we thankful for and what else do we just take for granted?

It was prompted by a hellish month at the job. After ten months I thought I would cruise into fall with a chance to catch my breath after a grueling winter and a busy summer.

Managing about 180 routes and about 80 carriers, the job can be overwhelming at times, if you let it. From carriers who don’t want to do the job right, to customers who complain about the silliest of things, I limped into the long weekend just hoping to catch a break.

I’ve been personally delivering four routes each morning for the past month. Out very early, I’m never surprised by the amount of wildlife as I alluded to in a previous column. The skunks are everywhere.

What does surprise me is the amount of people who keep absolutely no lights on at night. I would guess that most porches that I approach in the morning have no lights at all. Some have motion lighting, which is a nice surprise when you approach the house in total darkness. The funny thing is, it’s mostly the more well-off homes that have no lights.

So here I am, searching for a mailbox, tripping over children’s bicycles and toys as I fumble my way across their porch. Eventually fed up, I toss the paper near the door and go on my way.

I see now what many of the carriers are faced with when they do this early morning delivery.

When good old Mrs. Smith calls because her paper was at her doorstep and not inside the mailbox with the lid closed, positioned horizontally not vertically, I can now sympathize with the carrier who tossed the paper toward the door because they couldn’t see their way to the house.

And believe me, those calls do come in. Every day.

The complaints compound themselves on Thursday and Friday, which I like to call ‘flyer days’. Here, you can’t win for losing. I’m talking at least 30 calls each of those days from people complaining they didn’t get the flyers or people complaining that they don’t want ‘that junk.’ I’ve actually had people call and insist I come MARK and pick up the flyers RIBBLE that a carrier left on their property or they would call the police.

Rib’s This is where the ‘don’t sweat the small Ramblings stuff’ comes in.

I’d love to be able to say to these folks, “Ma’am, are you aware there are children in third world countries being beheaded because of their religion, and you are upset about a bundle of advertising being left at your door?”

Of course, I can’t say it, but I’m thinking it for sure.

So the frustration of these things then becomes my ‘small stuff’ and I have to learn to let it go.

After all, it’s just a newspaper. Lives won’t be lost and buildings won’t crumble if someone misses their paper one day. I’m not a heart surgeon or nuclear physicist.

So, as I stuffed the turkey on Sunday morning, my thoughts cleared and turned to my family and friends, all of whom carry much more importance than any job they could ever offer.

I miss my parents at this time of year. My dad always insisted the family get together for Thanksgiving, even after my mom passed away. He’d be disappointed now to know that we don’t see near enough of each other anymore.

The turkey was good and juicy, the cranberries tart and sweet and the wine flowed freely on the weekend. We had a few laughs.

And as thoughts of the Mrs. Smiths of this world started to creep into my head, I just piled more whipped cream on the pumpkin pie and told myself, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Leamington All Candiates Night held (Continued from Front) neighbouring municipalities in Tecumseh and Kingsville when federal packaging deregulation legislature threatened thousands of jobs across Ontario.

Mayoral candidate Charlie Wright said, “Since my campaign started on September 12, I have been walking door to door, to houses and businesses, and Leamington, I’m listening. My number one priority, if elected as mayor, is to have zero percent tax increase.” Wright also laid out his two main objectives to reform Council which include the creation of a finance committee and a rural drainage committee, which would allow Council to meet twice a month instead of the present three monthly meetings.

When Libro Credit Union announced the three winners of its 2015 youth calendar contest recently, Amazing Adventures in Southwestern Ontario, Owen Pimentel of Wheatley was thrilled to be named.

The winners of the three categories are: • Elementary School Group A (Junior Kindergarten - Gr. 3): Owen Joseph Pimentel of Wheatley for Bug Alley • Elementary School Group B (Gr. 4-8): Miranda TeBokkel of Thamesford for My Backyard • Secondary School (Gr. 9-12): Anastazia Klara Csegeny of Strathroy for The Tree of Summer “We asked youth to submit a drawing celebrating their favorite community pursuits, passions and activities,” said Tania Goodine, Libro Credit Union Executive Vice President, Engagement. “Libro received hundreds of entries, and we asked the public to vote for their favorites on our website. We were absolutely thrilled by the artistry and creativity on display, it’s a testament to all the wonderful things

happening in southwestern Ontario.”

The winners received a $500 RESP contribution, a $200 gift card (at either Toys R Us or Best Buy) and $1,000 for their school or youth group.

The winning drawings will be featured in Libro’s 2015 calendar, which is scheduled to be available at Libro’s 27 branches in December. The calendar will also include other selected contest drawings from across Southwestern Ontario.

Owen, son of Gale and Tim Pimentel of Wheatley, chose to have the $1,000 donated to his school, Queen of Peace in Leamington. The money is earmarked for the recent landscaping project at the school, which Owen’s teacher, Mme Ingratta, was instrumental in organizing.

Leamington Libro Branch Manager Denise Milkins presented Owen with the giant cheque for $1,000 in front of his fellow classmates, who cheered him on in a classroom celebration on Wednesday, October 8.

1939 Ford Deluxe coupe in electric lime green Lee Vanlieshout of London, ON, purchased an awesome piece of automotive excitement at the Toronto Classic Car Auction in the fall of 2012. It’s a 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe rebuilt with the best from the past and the present. Lee writes: “ T h e previous owner did not supply any information but I can tell you the car came from Florida.

It’s a ’39 Ford Deluxe 5-window coupe Model 91A-77-B with a 350 cubic inch Chevy motor and 400 Turbomatic 3-speed transmission, Mustang front end, and 9-inch Ford rear end. The colour is Electric Lime Green. The body is all steel and the trunk has been shaved. The taillights have been Frenched. It has air shocks, up-graded power brakes in front, power steering, and VIN is #1851490651.”

With their sleek aerodynamic lines, the 1939 Fords have been a favourite with restorers and customizers alike ever since they rolled off the Ford assembly lines. According to the 1942 Used Car Sales Handbook of Features published

by GM of Canada for its used car sales people, the Windsor factory price when new for the 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe was $893 (slightly less in the U.S.). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches cranking out 85 horsepower, a respectable power output for that time and easily modified for more horsepower.

Five body styles were available: 2-passenger coupe, twodoor sedan, four-door sedan, convertible coupe with rumble seat (the last year for this feature), and convertible sedan.

The 1940 Ford convertible had a power-operated top and a back seat under the roof instead of a rumble seat, reflecting the growing desire of the motoring public for more protec-

tion from the weather. The 2-passenger coupe in 1939 had no back seat and was popular with travelling sales people.

Also, 1939 was the last year before the adoption of sealed beam headlights industry-wide in 1940. It was the last year that Ford had a 3-speed floor shift transmission. In 1940, the gearshift lever moved to the steering column (“three on the tree”) until “4 on the floor” came along with the muscle car era of the 1960s. And 1939 was the last year that windshield wipers were mounted on the roof, and the windshield could be cranked open for an early form of air conditioning.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON, N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.”

LHS resumes meetings; holds raffle draw

By Catherine Riediger The signs of fall are all around, leaves changing colour, colourful mums in the gardens, Pelee mums in the stores, pumpkins, gourds, cooler nights and shorter days. I love the fall season but not what it leads to.

Birth Month Flower for August is the Gladiolus.

The hidden message of the Gladiolus is “Love at First Sight”. The meaning of the Gladiolus is Sincerity and symbolizes Strength of Character. The definition of the Gladiolus: Any of numerous plants of the genus Gladiolus native chiefly to tropical and South Africa having sword-shaped leaves and one-sided spikes of brightly coloured funnelshaped flowers and widely cultivated. The usual colours are pink, red, white, yellow and orange. It is also called gladiola or sword lily.

Birth Month Flower for September is the Aster. The hidden message of the Aster is “Take Care of Yourself for me”. The meanings of the Aster are Love, Faith, Wisdom and symbolizes Valour.

The definition of the Aster: Any of the various chiefly fall-blooming herbs of the genus Aster with showy daisy-like flowers. There are many species of the family Asteraceae. The Aster is also called starworts and the September Flower. The colours of the Aster include pink, red, white, lilac and mauve. The name “Aster” is derived from the Greek word for “star” and refers to the shape of the flower head.

The first general meeting after the summer hiatus was Wed. Sept. 17 with guest speaker Cherrin Meleg sharing her knowledge of making jams and preserves using local fruits and vegetables.

Cherrin brought samples of her preserves and, to everyone’s delight, members had an opportunity to sample a couple of them. Her jams and preserves can be purchased at Mr. D’s Produce booth at the Leamington Farmer’s Market.

The Society also held the raffle ticket draw. Winners were: 1st Prize $500 – Lynn Koskela; 2nd Prize $250 – Carol Ann Holland;

3rd Prize $100 – Irene Darowski. Along with the prize money they received a year’s membership in the Horticultural Society.

Second KO Cancer fundraiser exceeds goal

By Bryan Jessop

Cancer has taken another severe beating in Leamington.

The Leamington Portuguese Club hosted the second Knock Out Cancer fundraiser for Transition To Betterness (T2B) Friday, Oct. 10, a biannual event that again sold out with a maximum capacity crowd of about 1,000 spectators. The

event was organized in part

by T2B manager of events and public relations representative Alessia Frighetto with assistance from a team of volunteers that included Leamington Boxing Academy owner Donnie Courtemanche. A portion of the funds raised through this year’s attraction will be directed toward refurbishing a room at Leamington District Kristin Shreve DD ~ Denturist Denture Specialist

BJ Vankempen of Kingsville takes a hit from Martin “The Polish Hammer” Widecki during the first of 10 bouts at Knock Out Cancer 2, a fundraiser for Transition To Betterness and the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Friday, Oct. 10 at the Portuguese Club. Vankempen won the bout in a split decision.

Memorial Hospital.

Courtemanche originally got the event started in honour of his mother Barbara, who died of pancreatic cancer.

“To me, this is a real family event,” Courtemanche said.

In 2012, the event raised $90,000 to help support T2B, which has assisted local families with the costs

associated with treatment of cancer and other diseases since 1997. Each of the first two Knock Out Cancer events raised money through different levels of corporate sponsorship, pledge collections from participating boxers, general admission ticket sales, donations from local businesses and a 50/50 draw. This year, about $59,000 was raised by the

More than 40 sponsors supported this year’s Knock Out Cancer. The total amount of funds raised through boxer pledges, corporate VIP sponsorships and other means of support was not available by press deadline.

Leading the way on the corporate front was the Windsor Family Credit Union, which like Saccuchi, sponsored an even $10,000.

Leamington Boxing Academy and Leamington Fitness were additional major supporters of the fundraiser.

Second KO Cancer fundraiser exceeds goal (Continued from page 12) arranged in three one-minute rounds apiece — ranged from fiercely-competitive matches that left the canvas stained with blood to slower-paced bouts where competitors were simply grateful to leave the ring on their own feet.

Results in chronological order from each bout were as follows: • BJ Vankempen (Vankempen Farms) over Martin Widecki (H&A Mastronardi), split decision; • Sheila Goodfellow over Jackie Pagano (Koi Sushi), split decision; • Aleks Krndija (Leamington Fitness) over Abe Klassen (MC3 Manufacturing), unanimous decision; • Mike Makhlouf (Freddy’s Park Stop) over Saide Eid (Johnny’s Gas Bar), unanimous decision; • Amber Bernachi over Amanda Szabo, split decision; • Chad Heaton (Heaton Health and Fitness) over Shawn Mazzocca (E.W. Metal Works Ltd.), TKO; • Matt Campbell (OPP) over Adam Kroeker (Leamington Fire Department), TKO; • Mike Gayer over Randy Saccuchi (Anytime Fitness), split decision; • Frank Ricci (Ricci, Enns, Rollier & Setterington LLP) over Dr. Fred Sabga (Leamington and Area Family Health Team), TKO; • Freddy Sarkis (Meteor Systems) over Domingos Braga (Kingsville Naples Pizza), TKO. The schedule of fights included a couple changes from the original lineups for Knock Out Cancer 2. Goodfellow replaced Amy Howe of Howe Fit in the second match while Gayer replaced the injured Wissam Aoun of Wissam Aoun Law Professional Coporation. Andre Courtemanche — brother of Donnie and son of trainer Andre Sr. — served as ring announcer.

Knock Out Cancer 3 will be held in 2016. Current plans are to bring the event back to the Leamington Portuguese Club on Talbot Street West.

Domingos Braga (right) lands a hit against Freddy Sarkis during the final feature bout of Knock Out Cancer 2, hosted by The Portuguese Club Friday, Oct. 10. Sarkis, who was the top fundraising boxer with $16,000, won the match.

PETEY

Hi, my name is Ashburn and I'm here with my sister and partner in crime, Mullins.

We were abandoned by our previous owner and are looking for a new home together. We are very bonded and enjoy each other's company too much to be separated. I'm more nervous than my sister and don't love being held but I am affectionate once I'm given the chance to warm up. Come meet us!

Hi, my name is Petey and I'm a very happy, playful boy. I love love! LOVE! toys and could play all day! I know how to sit and I work best for toys instead of treats. I'm very strong and need some work on my leash manners.

I like to stay busy, so make sure you have lots of fun toys and bones for me to keep me entertained. I have a very powerful tail and wag it a lot, so I would do best in a home with older children (12+).

Surprise donation at 2104 Kidney Walk results in over $34,000 raised The 2014 Kidney Walk was a huge success, raising more than $34,000 for The Kidney Foundation. This year’s walk was held Sun. Sept. 21, starting at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, and took participants along a 5-kilometre route that included the waterfront promenade at Leamington Marina.

The Kidney Walk initially raised $26,000, but following the walk Mike Schlater of Domino’s Pizza stopped by the Complex and surprised all in attendance when he announced that he would be matching the funds raised by the top two teams – Wheatley Wizzers $5,226 and Heather’s Heroes of Belle River $3,339, bringing the total raised to over $34,000. The people at the walk who have benefitted from the support of the Kidney Foundation, as well as their family and friends, were touched by Schlater’s overwhelming generosity.

Top fundraisers at this year’s walk was a local team, the Wheatley Wizzers. They raised $5,226 by hosting a pig roast in August and through sponsorships for the walk. Team captain Tracy Buchenauer was top individual fundraiser with a total of $2,372. Tracy has been the recipient of two kidney transplants, one in 1996 and the other in 2011. Team members include

The annual Kidney Walk is a pledge-based walk focused on raising awareness about kidney health and organ donation. The walk is a special time for dialysis patients, organ transplant recipients, living donors and the medical community to come together and support the Foundation and help create a better future for the 1 in 10 Canadians living with kidney disease. It is also a time to celebrate new beginnings, to remember loved ones, and to honour those living with kidney disease.

This year also marks 50th Anniversary of The Kidney Foundation of Canada. Fifty years ago there was no hope for people living with kidney disease. Dialysis has vastly improved throughout the years but it is not a cure. Transplantation is the preferred treatment option for many, and while it isn’t a cure either, it can drastically improve the lives of those with kidney disease.

The need for organ donation awareness and registration continues to grow. One person has the ability to save up to 8 lives.

LDSS run over by Lajeunesse

NOW HERE!

By Bryan Jessop The Lions versus Lions match-up did not end as favourably for LDSS in 2014 as it did last year.

The latest WECSSAA senior football game between the Arnott Division teams ended in a 58-14 romp for visiting Lajeunesse over Leamington Friday, Oct. 10. The loss kept the LDSS squad winless, a complete reversal over last year’s win over the green and white in 2013 that maintained an undefeated record for the more local Lions.

“We had a better second half, but this is a team (Lajeunesse) that is much improved over last year,” explained LDSS coach Jason Primeau.

Scott Robinson and a lengthy list of other injured Leamington players were forced to watch the entire game from the sidelines, leaving the team’s youngest and most inexperienced players to take to the gridiron in their places. Only 17 players were suited up for the fourth LDSS game of the regular season, forcing what few veteran players were left to remain on the field for the entire 48 minutes.

“Even without the injuries, this would have been a pretty tough game,” said Primeau.

Upon completing the game, Lajeunesse wracked up a four-game total of 163 points — the most productive offense in the six-team Arnott group. The visitors’ record improved to 3-1 while Leamington remained winless at 0-4.

Lajuenesse opened the scoring on their second play of the game with a pass-and-run combination that began on the Leamington 48-yard line 52 seconds after the opening kickoff. The LDSS offense tried to respond on the following possession, but lost the ball on downs at their guests’ 26-yard line, eventually leading the way to a 60-yard touchdown run for a green and white running back who broke multiple tackles on his way to the end zone.

Leamington’s offense made a gutsy third down play on their own 18-yard line, achieving the first down. The opposing defense, however, prevented any further scoring in the opening quarter.

Lajeunesse made it 21-0 early in the second quarter with a run from their own 35-yard line and added another on Leamington’s next possession when a fumble was returned 30 yards into the hosts’ end zone. The visitors added yet another when a third-down punt from LDSS on their own 40 was run in for a 35-0 score.

Leamington broke the egg shell late in the second quarter when quarterback Ken Levesque found receiver (Continued on page 19)

Levesque also kicked the two PATs for Leamington.

Saturday, October l8 and 25 at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, October l9 and 26 at 2:00 p.m.

Cost: $15 for adults and seniors. $10 dollars for students. (Not recommended for any student under the age of fourteen.

WRONG FOR EACH OTHER is the story of Rudy and Norah, two people who once fell in love, got married and then got divorced. Years later, they have a chance meeting in a restaurant, and reminisce about their past. It is interesting how the restaurant scenes are centre stage. All of the flashbacks dealing with their relationship are on stage right and stage left. Gord Willms has built an interesting moving stage which allows the Audience to see the flashbacks without being blocked by the restaurant scene. Confused? You’ll just have to come out and see the play to understand how beautifully it works.

The play is not a musical. It is a romantic comedy. The two actors, Allison Still and Scott Berry, are doing an incredible job bringing the characters of Norah and Rudy to life. They both live in Leamington and have been rehearsing three times a week at The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place.

Please buy your tickets soon, so that you won’t be disappointed as some of you were when we sold out for STEEL MAGNOLIAS and CALENDAR GIRLS. Tickets for Leamington residents can be purchased at Thomson Guardian Pharmacy, 20 Talbot Street East, Leamington. Tickets for Kingsville residents can be purchased at the Mary Kathryn Shop, 10 Main St., West, Kingsville. Tickets for Wheatley residents can be purchased at The Party & Discount Store, 8 Talbot St., Wheatley. For those of you unable to go to these ticket outlets, please phone 519326-8805 and order your tickets which will then be put aside for you to pick up the night of the performance. Tickets will also be available at The Bank Theatre the nights of the performance.

LDSS vs.

Lajeunesse (Continued form page 17) Bryce Gabriele with a pass that was sprinted into the guests’ end of the field for a combined 22-yard play.

The hosts then recovered their own onside kick at the Leamington 54, but couldn’t build on the momentum for another touchdown treat.

Lajeunesse got six of those seven points back with a pass and run touchdown of their own during the final play of the half, although the extra point kick was blocked for a 41-7 score at the break.

Another pass and run play — this time with 5:19 remaining in the third — ended as another Lajeunesse major started from the LDSS 20-yard line. An impressive kick that followed the PAT rolled into the LDSS end zone and couldn’t be returned by the home squad’s kick return team, giving the visitors another point. The assault through the air continued, setting up another Lajeunesse touchdown on a play that began on the LDSS 29-yard line. Leamington didn’t get far on the next possession, fumbling the ball in their own end zone

The hosting Lions won the fourth quarter with an offensive drive initiated when Levesque picked off a Lajeunesse pass on his team’s 45-yard line. Leamington continued to move the ball forward and eventually took advantage of an unnecessary roughness call that brought the ball to the visiting team’s one-yard line. Levesque made no mistake on the golden opportunity, sprinting through

Leamington again retrieved its own kick following the PAT, this time at its own 52-yard line. The Lajeunesse defense however continued to take advantage of faulty blocking by their hosts to prevent any further additions to the scoreboard.

Looking for direction in today’s market?

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

Team Green was one of four teams to take part in the Leamington Soccer League’s 2014 season. The recreational, co-ed league, open to players 18 years of age and older, plays from the end of June to the end of September at the Leamington Soccer Complex.

LETS TALK!

By Bryan Jessop With the cleats not yet having enough time to start collecting offseason dust, the Leamington Soccer League is looking to recruit new blood for next year.

The recreational adult loop wrapped up its sixth season with a final set of games Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Leamington Soccer Complex.

League convenor Chad Jeffrey and his committee of four other members is already making preparations for the seventh season by spreading the word that they would like to see new players introduced for 2015.

The 2014 campaign began in late June and included 14 games for each of the four participating teams, each carrying a roster of 16 players. Registration is open to players of all experience and skill levels from ages 18 and up. This year, the oldest participant was 73-year-old Tom Dearie, a former European professional soccer player.

The league’s laid-back structure does not include sponsors, playoffs or a championship winner, although matches are officiated by referees — usually high school players and students. Jeffrey noted that some changes may be in store for 2015 and other future seasons, including a shift to start the schedule in late May and complete it in late August.

“We’ve got a lot of players who start college and university before the season ends,” he explained. “We’ve got back-up players, but even

Novice AEs take on LaSalle On the Sunday, Oct.5 the Southpoint Capitals Novice AE team, sponsored by Scotiabank, travelled to LaSalle Vollmer Complex to take on the LaSalle Sabres.

The Sabres opened the scoring early into the first period despite great defense from Caps’ Hayden Epplett and Kaleb Jardi.

The Capitals seemed to pull together and battle hard in the second period with Nathan Omar and Chase Simpson on offense and Matteo Pereira and Evan Tavares on defense.

The Caps skated well in the third period with Abbey Mazella and Luca Rino firing the puck at the Sabres net, only to be stopped by Sabres goaltender Jesse Work to attract & encourage new business leaders, developers & Wrestein. entrepreneurs to establish new high tech, professional industries & quality LaSalle Sabres took the win. retail that will provide much needed middle & upscale jobs.

then there aren’t enough.”

Jeffrey admitted the shift might make it more challenging to accommodate minor soccer schedules, and as such didn’t rule out the possibility of relocation to other venues for at least some of their games. He noted that taking advantage of more hours of sunlight is another reason why a schedule shift is being seriously considered.

When the league was introduced in 2009, games were held at Kinsmen Fields on Seacliff Drive, behind the Sun Parlour Community Curling Club. Competition took on a grassroots, pick-up style atmosphere, although the league has since become more structured. Currently, games are played in 45-minute halves with a short break in between. Future seasons may include playoffs and if necessary, Jeffrey and his committee may seek team sponsors.

This year’s registration fee of $60 per player included team shirts. The same rate is likely to carry on into 2015. To inquire about registration for next season, contact Jeffrey at 519-324-0560.

“We want to be accessible to as many players as possible,” Jeffrey noted.

Typically, players hail from Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley areas, although some make the trip each week from across the county. There are no practices scheduled for any of the competing teams, al-

though some players show up early on game day to prepare for matches that started at 7 p.m. earlier in the season and then 6:30 p.m. later in the year.

The four teams are all self-coached, although each is assigned a representative to communicate with the league committee, which is responsible for booking field dates and times, referees and designing and acquiring jerseys.

“It’s not taken too seriously,” Jeffrey explained.

The 2014 season officially came to an end with players

meeting at Jose’s Bar and Grill for appetizers.

“They’ve been very good to us,” said Jeffrey. “We like to support locally-owned businesses.”

By Alicia Good North Leamington United Mennonite Church On Saturday, Sept. 20, North Leamington United Mennonite Church hosted a workshop by psychologist Dr. Delmar Epp from Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg entitled “Loving (All) Your Neighbours.”

The first half of the workshop explored the realities of prejudice.

Dr. Epp noted that prejudice is a psychological coping tactic that developed out of a need for people to process large amounts of information. Throughout human history, people have identified with their own group. Other groups were seen as potentially hostile.

Even subtle messages can potentially convey prejudice. Dr. Epp cited a study in which a woman applying for a job was described to three groups of participants as either “Miss”, “Mrs.” or “Ms.”.

The study participants rated the woman who used the title “Ms.” as being less likable, even though the descriptions were identical in every other respect. Even the seemingly small choices of what language is used to describe a group of people holds the potential of generating prejudice.

In the second half of the workshop, Dr. Epp discussed positive steps communities can take toward overcoming prejudice and building positive relationships between very different groups of people.

Some communities have developed relationships through creating projects in which both groups have equal status and power. In order for these projects to succeed, it is important that both groups will stand to benefit from the results of the project. For example, some communities have experienced success with community gardening initiatives. It is important for all participants in the project to be able to contribute something of real value toward making the project succeed.

Dr. Epp emphasized that overcoming prejudice starts with the development of one-on-one friendships between individuals.

As two people from different cultures get to know each other as friends, their assumptions about each other’s cultures are challenged. Building friendships is the key to overcoming prejudice.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Love Cecil, Theresa & Margie & Families

Vatican City Anna Spaunburg - Departed Hungary, December 19, 1926, arrived Pier 21 Halifax, December 28, 1926.

Our 9 day voyage - Mother with 3 children ages 6, 4, 2, I was the oldest - Anna (Wohl) Wahl, 6 years old, born October 18, 1920 in Nemetker, Hungary.

Very rough seas, I was sick the entire trip. Christmas on board the ship, have memories of a tree and gifts for all the children. One trip to the dining area, we were unable to eat as our plates got away from us. Good thing the tables had ledges on them. I remember mother and friends playing cards outside the cabin, and chairs, tables and people going from one side of passageway to the other, but we all survived.

When we arrived in Halifax we had to go down a rope ladder to a barge along side. There were steamer trunks around the outside to keep us from falling overboard, then we were taken to Pier 21 onshore.

We were welcomed by the Red Cross or Salvation Army, I recall the uniforms. We were a family of four: mother, two daughters, one son, accompanied by a family friend whose husband was in Manitoba working at the same place as our dad. Then by train to Winnipeg to be met by our father.

We went to school in Winnipeg, we were very fortunate as Sisters (nuns) spoke both German and English and made it easier for us. I lived in Winnipeg area from 1926 to 1929, Windsor 1929 to 1946, and Leamington, Ontario from 1946 to present. I retired from H.J. Heinz after thirty years of service at Christmas time 1977 and am enjoying my retirement. I do volunteer work with church, and the legion and enjoy golfing, reading and traveling.

Atom Minors draw a tie The Jose’s Bar & Grill Southpoint Atom Minors skated to a 1-1 tie against the Windsor Junior Spitfires Friday, Oct. 10 at home.

The team came out fast and skated hard, battling for the puck at every turn. But even hard work and determination can surpass certain limits as the team was eventually assessed 6 unanswered penalties.

The Capitals had excellent scoring chances early in the first at the hands of Hunter Morris and a shorthanded opportunity by Joshua Chauvin but could not get one by the Spits goalie.

Excellent defense and great back-checking by Ryan Goyeau quickly neutralized shots and rebounds resulting in a scoreless first period.

In the second period, Joshua Chauvin again led a short-handed charge but came up empty. Capitals goalkeeper Cole Bradley was incredible, having to fend off a barrage of shots during a 2-minute stretch that would see three teammates in the penalty box at the same time. The second period ended in what was akin to a conference call to Toronto that would eventually confirm a goal for the visiting team.

Excellent scoring chances, great saves, and relentless puck pursuit highlighted the third period as the two teams continued to battle. Strong penalty killing

by Ethan Rodrigues, Ryan Goyeau, and Jack Tiessen kept the opposition at bay.

Benjamin Omar netted the tying goal off a great pass

by Joshua Chauvin. Despite a few more scoring opportunities, the contest ended in a tie. Great team effort everyone!

On Saturday the team travelled to Amherstburg where they took on the talented Stars. Though the

boys fought hard they came up short losing 7-1. Lone striker for Southpoint was Kaden Gabrielle.

In their match against the Tecumseh Eagles on Sunday, the Capitals let one slip away. Despite taking a 2-1 lead on a pair of goals by Benjamin Omar, the Capitals lost the contest 4-2.

The team would like to thank Ryan Goyeau’s grandmother for sewing our sponsor’s name-bar, Jose’s Bar & Grill, on all the jerseys.

Tarez Raheb scored her first goal ever and Alyssa Lamb also scored in this hard fought contest. Scoring the assists were Halle Debono, Stephanie Wiebe and Adrien Gualtieri.

The Cougars’ Dan Metcalfe is chased by two Catholic Central linemen during a Thursday, Oct. 9 WECSSAA senior football game at Cardinal Carter. Metcalfe ran in one touchdown in his team’s 23-12 victory.

Cougars keep Comets winless

By Bryan Jessop In a nutshell, Cardinal Carter senior football coach Chris Church described his team’s 2014 home opener as the worst game they’ve ever won.

The Cougars posted a 23-12 win over the visiting Catholic Central Comets Thursday, Oct. 9 in a match that either team could have won until a fourth-quarter touchdown by the home team. The favoured team’s first 2014 game on home turf was in part marred by a couple faulty snaps, fumbles, untimely penalties and defensive holes that gave the Comets’ running game the chance to stay in contention through most of the 48-minute contest.

“That was pretty much the worst game we’ve played,” said Church. “We weren’t as bad in the second half, but we had the chance to finish them earlier and we couldn’t do it.

That gave them the motivation to stay in the game.”

The game started on a strong note for the Cougars, who didn’t allow any Comets’ first downs through the first quarter. Quarterback Daniel Metcalfe forced his way through a defensive wall for a two-yard dash into the end zone for

the game’s first scoring play, capped by a successful Bobby Gould PAT kick. Chris Tannous made a few pivotal runs to gain first downs for the hosts, but Metcalfe’s major would stand as the only mark on the scoreboard through the first 12 minutes.

Cardinal Carter came close to expanding its lead in the second quarter, but a fumble at the Comets’ three-yard line snuffed a chance to establish a 14-0 advantage. The hosts made the most of it however, as pressure from their defensive line forced the Catholic Central quarterback to take an intentional grounding penalty on his offense’s ensuing first and 10 play. The infraction, committed on the same threeyard line where the Cougars had just lost the ball, equated to a two-point safety to give Cardinal Carter a 9-0 advantage.

Shortly afterwards however, the guests’ kicker recovered his own onside kick to give his offense opportune field position. The Comets made the most of it, carrying the ball to the two-yard line before making a carbon copy of Metcalfe’s first-quarter touchdown. Metcalfe appeared to run his second of the game into the end zone from 10 yards out, but a holding call against the Cougars brought the ball back to the 20-yard line in the dying seconds of the half.

A pass into the end zone was intercepted and run out of

bounds at the four-yard line to keep the score at 9-7 for the halftime break.

Catholic Central’s offense set the pace in the early stages of the second half, keeping the Cougar defense guessing by altering between running and passing plays. The shuffle (Continued on page 26)

in strategies paid off with a 20-yard field goal that briefly gave the Comets a 10-9 lead.

Tannous replied with a 32-yard sprint over the goal line that followed up with another Gould PAT, gave Cardinal Carter a 16-10 lead. The guests threatened to take another onepoint advantage by marching deep into Cougar territory, but surrendered a fumble on the eight-yard line. The hosts managed to do little with the next possession, eventually conceding a safety to bring the ball further from their end zone.

The Comets attempted a third-down fake on the following possession, but couldn’t foil the Cardinal Carter defense for enough yardage to avoid a turnover. Shedding tacklers with an impressive second effort, Austin Bento put the game away with a four-yard run that Gould complimented with his third successful PAT in as many tries.

Catholic Central recovered a Cougars fumble on their own 35-yard line, but Facebook.com/DerekFriesenPolitics the effort proved too little, derekfriesenpolitics@gmail.com too late for a comeback attempt.

On Friday, Oct. 3, Cardinal Carter suffered its first loss of the season in a 35-16 decision against defending 4A SWOSSAA champion Herman. Metcalfe and Tannous came up with touchdowns for the Cougars, who also scored a safety.

Cost and found I really hate to say it, but by the time the ink dries on this page, there will be a scant 71 days until BRYAN Christmas. Thanksgiving has come and gone, HalJESSOP loween will soon do the same and before you know it, scores of houses and businesses will be lit up with Christmas decorations.

Jessop’s My three-year-old son has been randomly rifling Journal through the pages of the Sears Christmas catalogue for about a month now, pointing out and even using a pen to circle the items he “needs.” It comes as little surprise that Thomas The Tank Engine items regularly garner his attention.

Christmas is a challenging time of the year for cheapskates like myself. My wife, who is equally frugal, is equally mortified by the prices of Thomas The Tank Engine Wooden Railway “destination” sets. Mattel must make a fortune on the Thomas and Friends brand.

Maybe even enough to purchase a professional sports franchise.

If there are two items on Earth with prices that skyrocket well beyond the rate of inflation, they are gasoline and pro sports teams. The word in NHL circles is circulating that Andrew Barroway — snubbed in previous attempts to purchase the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders — has expressed intent to land 51 per cent of the Arizona Coyotes (nope, they’re not Phoenix anymore) from ownership group Ice Arizona. League deputy commissioner Bill Daly and IA have pegged the team’s value at a jaw-dropping $305 million. Yup, north of $300 million for a team that went as much as $30 million in the hole last season.

It’s possible that IA saw Barroway kicking the tires and knowing how desperate he is to become a majority owner, pulled a ridiculous number out of the clouds. Barroway intended to sue Islanders majority owner Charles Wang for backing out of a purchase agreement on THAT team a few months earlier (the lawsuit has since been dropped, presumably in an agreement with the NHL based on newfound interest in the Coyotes). Conspiracy theorists suggest that Wang saw the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers sell for a mind-blowing $2 billion and figured he could do better than Barroway’s paltry offer of $420 million.

Are these numbers messing with anyone else’s mind?

Donald Stirling was forced to sell the Clippers after making some racist remarks about the fans his trophy girlfriend was inviting to games. Normally, when you’re FORCED to sell something, the price tag is a lot more inviting than $2 billion. If you’ve ever got some time to kill, compare WWIG prices (“Wife Wants It Gone”) of classic cars to the asking prices of similar cars in similar condition owned by sellers who are simply looking for different toys to play with.

Had I been in Wang’s shoes, I would have taken the $420 million and ran. The Islanders and Hurricanes are the only teams that can match the Coyotes’ dismal lack of fan support, which says a lot in a league where a big chunk of revenue relies on turnstiles that remain in motion.

Moving to the other end of New York state, the NFL’s Buffalo Bills have found a new owner in Terry Pegula, who also owns that city’s NHL Sabres. Pegula added the Bills to his collection for a cool $1.4 billion, or $500 million over the team’s appraised value. A for sale sign went up in March after owner Ralph Wilson died at the age of 95. The city rejoiced upon discovering the identity of the new owner, as Pegula — who is to Buffalo what Mike Ilitch is to Detroit — appears to have no plans to move the team outside the state’s secondlargest urban setting.

What’s sobering is the fact that landing an NFL team for $1.4 billion seems like a bargain after an NBA team sold for $2 billion. It’s been said that owning an NFL team is basically a license to print money. Recent surveys have found that it is now more than twice as popular as Major League Baseball in the U.S. A poll of American sports fans found that 35 per cent listed the NFL as their favourite league to follow, with 14 per cent selecting MLB. The NBA accumulated a far more modest six per cent while the NHL was surprisingly close behind at five per cent.

So how do the Clippers — ranked as the NBA’s 13th most valuable team at about $575 million — sell for $600 million more than an NFL franchise? Well, the Bills were ranked 31st of 32 teams, valued at about $935 million. As the old saying goes, an item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

If nobody on Earth is interested in buying The Hope Diamond, it’s worthless. If someone offers you $10 billion for the mold forming under your bathroom sink, that mold is worth $10 billion.

So if you’re looking to own one of North America’s Rookie, Mosquito, Peewee Minor, “Big Four” professional sports teams, the cheapest Peewee Major, Bantam Minor, rate of entry is the ColumBantam Major, Midget bus Blue Jackets, valued at $175 million. If that seems Interested Interested parties parties should should apply apply by by a bit steep, maybe you could toss a lowball offer of around $100 million at to LDMBA John McConnell and see if P.O. Box 334 Leamington ON N8H 3W3 he bites. If that plan doesn’t ororldmba2014@gmail.com ldmba@hotmail.com work out, don’t despair — Christmas is coming.

Heinz ladies wrap up season with awards banquet

The Lightning’s Noah Chacko launches the ball past a L’Essor opponent at the net during a WECSSAA senior boys volleyball game at UMEI Tuesday, Sept. 30. The Aigles won the first set 25-9, but the Lightning bounced back in the second for a 26-24 win. L’Essor won the tiebreaker 25-11. A day later, the Lightning travelled to Westview Freedom Academy where they swept the new school in three straight sets.

Novices tie Harrow Last week the Novice Caravan Kids met the Harrow Rams at home.

It was neck-and-neck and then Harrow finally scored a goal. Southpoint turned it up a notch. Just a minute later, Alessia West from the Caravan Kids tied it up for Southpoint with assists from Kaylie MacInnis and Joel Stockwell.

Early in the second period Harrow scored another goal. Southpoint worked really hard but Harrow’s goalie was on fire. Grant Symons and Colton Selwood both played an amazing game and had a couple of breakaways. There were more scoring opportunities for Zander Grilo, Daesa Minaudo, Liam Brown and Abby Neufeld but the puck just didn’t get there. Caravan’s defensemen were determined not to let anything more in their zone. Daniel Saad and Nikolas Beaudoin worked really hard to keep the puck in their zone. Adriana West and Joel Stockwell did an excellent job keeping the puck away from their net.

Danika Romanyk played a great game between the pipes and shut Harrow out in the third period. With 2 minutes left, with assists from Daniel Saad and Grant Symons, Dayne DiMilo scored another goal for the Caravan Kids to tie up the game. As could be seen throughout Backhoe & Trenching • Sewers the entire game, Harrow Waterlines • Basement Waterproofing was an equally-matched Trucking • Stone • Electric Eel Service competitor. The game ended Clay • Fill • Sand • Topsoil in a 2-2 tie.

Great start for the Caravan Kids with a 1-0-1 re36 Years in Business cord! Way to go kids!

TT seniors league plays final round of the season On Tuesday, Oct. 7 there were 41 golfers out to test their fall season golfing skills at the Talbot Trail Golf Course.

In the 70-79y division, both Don Willan and Vic Reynaert led the way with their very impressive 41s.

Paul R. Brown and Neil Adamson both earned excellent 43s. Bob Lee and Homer Vandervecht continued their superb play as they recorded solid 44 and 45 results respectively. Walter Balsam and Ken MacPherson both produced very praiseworthy 47s. Al Zanuttini and Tom Hyatt scored very fine 49s.

Nifty 50 results went to Pete Daudlin and Andy Orsini.

Bill Adams was a mere one shot back with his satisfying 51.

In the 80-85 y division, Murray Knox and Bob Freure continued their ex-

cellent play by shooting terrific 46s. Gerry Becigneul and Hadley Pinch followed closely behind them as they both fired superb 51s.

On-time Scotsman, Bill Westrop, also shot very well.

Only two of the league’s super seniors played, but they both did very well. Ageless Dick MacKenzie fired a masterful 46, and youthful Al Stockwell had another fine score. Members have heard that Linus Bachmeier is doing very well, and that he was even bowling recently. Glad you’re up and about, Linus!

The long putt winner was Jim ‘Bummy’ Omstead who drained a superb putt on #2.

The honours for the closest to the pin went to Pat Hill who drilled an excellent shot near the hole on #9.

The youngest group 5069y found the going a bit challenging as their scores

The lowest score result went to Pat Hill and John Liddell, who both fired terrific 43s.

The Omstead brothers had a friendly golfing rivalry, but in the end they both tied with superb 44s. Long hitting Bill Ward merited a very solid 45. Both Randy Hewey and Mike Getty shot satisfying 46s. Other results that were less than 50 were produced by Brian Brown, Paul Harrison, Dave Dent and Mac Hyatt.

This article concludes the senior golf write-ups for this season. Participation of all the league members was very much appreciated. The player friendly Tuesday golf outings, as well as the travel excursions, made for an enjoyable time for all. See you back at the course early in 2015. Until then, practise wherever you can. For some of you it will be in Florida and for others it will be in your homes, putting on the rugs. Be careful with your chips!

Season ends for progs golf

September 30 marked the end of Progs 2014. The course was a bit damp from the night’s previous rain but the event went on as planned. Thirteen teams of 4 knew what was at stake. $600 was allotted for the winning team.

The scores weren’t particularly high considering the quality of the players. The total handicaps for each team were either 56 or 57. When the tallying was complete, the team of Matt Dick (0), Dan McQueen (+5), Mel Davey (+5) and Bill Conn (-4) surfaced to the top with a combined +6.

Tied for second place was Norm Beattie (-7), Gary Alderson (+2), Carl Grossi (+1) and Barry Miller (+7). The other team included Bill Stackpoole (0), Tom Miehl (+5), Gary McRae (+1) and Harry Badz (-3). Both teams combined score totaled +3. Each team pocketed $300.

In the skins game, only 4 skins survived. George Turnbull posted one on hole #11, while Ron Koop sank a long one on #15. Tom Miehl, from off the green, rolled one in on #16.

Andy Herring completed the group with a net bird on #17.

Each skin was worth $80. The winnings were shared with their respective teammates.

After all the thank yous were offered to Flamingo’s and the grounds crew and pro shop staff, Gary Alderson presented many awards, injecting humorous anecdotes about the recipients.

Mister Plus (the highest progs in the year) went to Ken Luxford (+15). Mister Minus (how low can you go) was unhappily accepted by George Turnbull (-12). Ken Luxford also shared that number but only one award was given.

Fred Klassen sheepishly accepted his award for winning the least amount of money ($15). Ken Steingart earned $198 over the 18 sessions, winning the Most Money Won award. With 8 skins over the year, Kevin Shaften notched the Most Skins award.

Dave Wilkinson was absent when he was declared the recipient of being on the most winning teams, with 8. Our WORD SEARCH ANSWERS most consistent golfer was awarded to Mel Davey with 9 games being within one or two progs points.

A new award offered this year went to Frank Gow who golfed with 45 different people over the year. He received the Mr. Popularity award. Frank is one friendly guy and a lot of fun. If he’s not making you laugh with his words, his golf game replaces the laughs.

Being at all 18 games deserves an award for perfect attendance. Roger Cote humbly accepted this award. Roger never had trouble getting to the course since he lives right across the road.

Another new award was truly earned by Matt Dick. Matt had the Shot of the Year when he took a 2-stroke penalty for hitting the ball off the bank of the bunker back into his groin.

In the season-long Progs points, Ken Steingart earned 54 points, capturing first place. In second place, putting on a late charge was Bob Dick. Ward Hutchins nabbed third place honours. He, too, played great in the last few weeks and made up valuable ground.

Finally, $50 was awarded for season long skins. These golfers posted a skin that was not sawed off by any other golfer. Winners of the $50 each was claimed by Ward Hutchins (eagle #6), Jim Sudds ( eagle #11) and Tom Miehl 9 (eagle #1).

I personally want to thank each and every member of the league for their outstanding support. You are undoubtedly the greatest group of gentlemen that ever the played the game. Have a safe, healthy off-season. To the readers of this column, I hope you have enjoyed some of the antics that can happen on a golf course. The game is a lot of fun but it is not as easy as the pros make it look. I thank Southpoint Sun for allowing me to write this column. This is a truly a wonderful, community-based paper.

The Southpoint Sun - 29

Atom Minors in Ann Arbor tournament point forwards switched up with the defense, and again the boys refused to quit.

The Capitals shutout the Ice Cats in the third and Lucas Penner scored his first on a rebound off a Joshua Chauvin shot.

On Saturday morning, the Capitals Atom Minor squad came out firing on all cylinders. In a contest against Canton Victory Honda at the statuesque Yost Arena, home of the Michigan Wolverines, Southpoint ended the drought.

In the first period, the Zylstra, Vaillancourt, Morris, Tiessen, and Rodrigues line had early end-to-end scoring chances. A few exciting rushes by Joshua Chauvin and Benjamin Omar, followed by a great face-off scoring chance

by Evan Derikx to Chauvin just outside the blue line, and a Lucas Penner rush from a great feed by Kaeden Sarkis left the boys chomping at the bit. Finally, Seth Zylstra broke open the scoring on a short-handed backhand goal (for his mother!) to bring a 1-0 end to the first period.

In the second period the Capitals weathered three backto-back-to-back penalties as Cole Bradley denied Canton with big saves. Benjamin Omar netted the second goal of the match.

Evan Derikx kept the offense going scoring again for Southpoint. Caleb Bradley, Lucas Penner and Kaeden Sarkis displayed great passing and head-manning the puck. Excellent transition out of the zone from Kaden Gabrielle to Hunter Morris led to a great breakout and scoring chance.

Benjamin Omar scored his second of the contest.

Great pressure in front the net by Caleb Bradley, Lucas Penner and Luke Scratch resulted in Southpoint’s fifth goal

by Kaeden Sarkis. Seth Zylstra netted his second backhand goal to end the scoring in the second period.

In the third, Joshua Chauvin scored again for Southpoint.

Cole Bradley staved off a last minute fury netting him his first shutout of the season.

In the final match on Saturday afternoon, Southpoint went up against the undefeated Northwest Chargers. Despite great effort and determination, the Chargers scored early and often. Penalties and a delayed whistle had Southpoint on their heels against a fast, talented Northwest squad. Though the Capitals lost the game 8-0, kudos go out to netminders Cole Bradley and Hunter Enns who made incredible saves.

The Southpoint Capitals Atom Minor hockey team, sponsored by Jose’s Noodle Factory, recently participated in a Squirt A division tourney in Ann Arbor Michigan.

In the first of two games on Fri. Oct. 3 the team found themselves up against the much bigger, faster Chicago Hawks.

In a quick-paced first period, Southpoint goalkeeper Cole Bradley came up big time against relentless Hawks’ pressure. The Capitals couldn’t weather an early penalty and found themselves down 2-0 at the end of one.

Though the second period would see the Hawks continue to press, the boys skated hard and fought back. Not to be intimated, Kaden Gabrielle cleared out the area in front of the net. Lucas Penner and Luke Scratch aggressively battled in the neutral zone. The Seth Zylstra, Cole Vaillancourt, Hunter Morris, Ethan Rodrigues, and Jack Tiessen line challenged the Hawks defense and generated much of the Capitals offense. Southpoint cut into the Hawks’ lead on a goal by Hunter Morris, assisted by Cole Vaillancourt.

Chicago quickly regained their two-goal lead and added two more despite the net being knocked off its mooring on the last marker.

The third period began with an early charge and shot by Evan Derikx. Strong puck pursuit by Benjamin Omar and Joshua Chauvin kept the puck in the Hawks zone. Despite being short-handed a third time, Southpoint penalty killers Noah George, Ryan Goyeau and Kaeden Sarkis denied the relentless Hawks. The Hawks eventually tacked on one more for a 6-1 final.

In the second match of the evening, things didn’t get much easier for the Capitals as they faced the equally talented (and big) Novi Ice Cats. Though the Ice Cats jumped to an early 3-0 lead, the Capitals fought back. Joshua Chauvin netted the first of two goals on an assist by Benjamin Omar.

Southpoint goalkeeper Hunter Enns showed his talent shutting down the Ice Cats power-play. Kaeden Sarkis and Caleb Bradley battled hard in the neutral zone and Kaden Gabrielle was solid on defense. Still, the Ice Cats were too powerful and eventually tallied three more in the first.

Second period was much the same as Novi scored two additional goals before Joshua scored his second of the evening. Again, the Ice Cats added another two scores before the period ended. In an effort to change things up, the South-

Flyers double Rockets By bryan jessop

Once in a rare while, winning a hockey game is possible after playing 20 minutes of inspiring hockey.

The Leamington Flyers bounced back from lackluster first and second periods — along with a 2-0 deficit — to claim a 6-3 victory against the visiting Strathroy Rockets Thursday, Oct. 9 at Heinz Arena. The Flyers’ offense was mostly unproductive through the opening 40 minutes, forcing netminder Mat Ouellet to make only routine saves while Trevor Wheaton had to be sharper at the other end of the rink.

The home team sprang to life in the third frame, the only 20-minute stretch where they outshot their seventh-place opponents. Over a time frame of precisely two minutes, the Flyers turned a two-goal deficit into a one-goal lead. The comeback began when J.P. Grineau one-timed a Blake Rutckyj pass from the left side of Ouellet’s crease. Kyle Quick also drew an assist on the play.

A minute and 49 seconds later, Mitchell Amante took a Chris Scott feed and fired a shot that hit Ouellet’s right pad. The rebound bounced straight ahead to Thomas Virban, who sent the puck back at Ouellet from the hash marks and into the left side of his net.

The go-ahead marker sparked some controversy from the Rockets’ bench, as Eric Henderson hit more of a solo home run than he did score his fifth goal of the year 11 seconds after the centre-ice faceoff. Officials however upheld the original decision that the puck was swatted out of the air low enough to qualify as the Flyers’ third of the night. Kyle Perkowski assisted.

In similar fashion to Griffin’s second-period tally, Perkowski stormed in on the Strathroy net during a power play to send a close-range, backhand shot past Ouellet in an unassisted effort.

Strathroy opened the scoring after just under five minutes of play during a two-on-one rush pieced together after a Leamington defenseman was caught pinching in during a turnover in the visiting team’s zone. From the right side of the Flyers’ net, Jack Kilgour released a low wrist shot that found the left side of the mesh.

Penalty trouble forced Leamington to kill a 1:34 fiveon-three that straddled the first two periods. A steady parade of players into their respective penalty boxes allowed both teams to test their power plays and penalty kills — the Flyers finished the contest with a better success rate, going two for six compared to Strathroy’s one for eight.

Leamington appeared to tie the game in the second period, but officials waved off the goal with a delayed high sticking penalty. About 10 minutes later, Nick Griffin took advantage of another turnover while Flyers blueliners were caught out of position and raced in on Wheaton to release a shot that grazed the right post before soaring into the net.

Brett Dalton brought the Rockets back to within a goal 75 seconds later, burying a shot into the left side of the Flyers’ net during a Strathroy man advantage.

Grineau replied about eight minutes later with the game’s third consecutive power play tally, taking hold of a Quick shot that hit the end boards and bounced back in front of the visitors’ crease. Grineau buried the puck before the opposing netminder could reposition himself. Jacob McGhee also assisted on the goal.

The Rockets opted to pull Ouellet for a sixth skater but were quickly foiled by Grineau, who potted the empty netter from along the boards near the Strathroy blue line. Colin Moore was credited with the lone assist.

“The effort in the first and second periods wasn’t acceptable, so our guys redeemed themselves by coming out strong for the third,” Flyers head coach Tony Piroski explained.

Piroski was pleased with Grineau’s efforts and was happy to see him earn his hat trick for his second, third and fourth goals of the season.

“He has to earn goals with hard work — he took a few lumps,” Piroski noted. “He’s a valuable player.

We can play him anywhere; we just haven’t tried him out in net yet,” he said with a laugh.

The Oct. 9 game officially brought the Flyers into the second fifth of the 2014-15 regular season.

While Piroski is content with the overall performance of his team, he also pointed out that there is room for improvement.

“I give the guys credit, but we’re not really like an 8-2 club,” he explained. “The intensity level over the last few games hasn’t been where I’d like it to be and there have been too The Flyers’ Kyle Quick deflects a shot from the point just wide of the Strathroy net during a Thursday, Oct. 9 contest against the many odd-man rushes Strathroy Rockets.

got to be better when we’re away from the puck.”

The next Flyers’ game took them to St. Catharines to participate in the annual Showcase Weekend, involving all 26 Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League teams. Leamington was paired up with the Golden Horseshoe’s Ancaster Avalanche, a match that ended in a 6-3 score favouring Ancaster. Flyers goals were scored by Quick, Scott and Blaine Bechard.

The Flyers headed to Chatham the following day for a road game against the Maroons. The Maroons won the overall defensive breakdown 8-7, coming up with the game winner with 40 seconds left in regulation. Leamington goals were scored by Moore, Alex Friesen, Scott and Amante with four.

Leamington’s next home game will also be against the Maroons — Thursday, Oct. 16 with a 7:10 p.m. start.

Rest of the West Tuesday and Wednesday of last week featured a trio of 2-1 decisions in the Western Conference — Strathroy edged the St. Thomas Stars Tuesday followed by a Chatham victory over LaSalle and a win for London over St. Marys on Wednesday. Sarnia doubled LaSalle 4-2 on Thursday to establish a 10-00 record. On Friday, St. Thomas defeated Lambton Shores 5-0 while St. Marys upset London 3-1. The Showcase Weekend in St. Catharines featured action for all nine Western teams. While the Flyers took on Ancaster, the other eight WOC games ended with the following results: • Sarnia 11, Thorold 1 • Waterloo 6, London 1 • St. Catharines 7, Chatham 4 • Stratford 6, Strathroy 3 • Brampton 4, St. Marys 3 • Listowel 2, St. Thomas 1 • Guelph 3, LaSalle 2 • Lambton Shores 6, Fort Erie 3

NEWS RELEASE Switch Back to Chloramination Beginning on Tuesday, October 21st, 2014, the Union Water Supply System (UWSS) will be switching back to a chloramination method for secondary disinfection of its treated water. UWSS provides treated drinking water to the Municipality of Leamington, Town of Kingsville and parts of the Town of Essex and Town of Lakeshore for distribution to their residential, commercial and industrial customers.

This change to chloramination will conclude the use of free chlorine for secondary disinfection that was implemented by UWSS on April 27th, 2014. This 6-month long temporary change to free chlorine for secondary disinfection was conducted to facilitate a long term maintenance program on the system and to control bacterial re-growth within the distribution system. The UWSS has been using chloramination for secondary disinfection since 2004 to provide a longer lasting disinfectant in the distribution system.

Your drinking water will remain safe to consume throughout the temporary conversion process. The UWSS is working very closely with the Windsor-Essex Community Health Unit, the Ministry of Environment, Ontario Clean Water Agency and water distribution staff from the municipalities of Leamington, Kingsville, Essex and Lakeshore to plan and carry out this work. Regular monitoring of drinking water quality will continue throughout the process.

As the transition in water chemistry moves through the distribution pipes, you may notice a slight change in the taste and odour of your tap water. The mild chlorine taste and odour is normal and poses no health risk. Slight discolouration of cold water may also occur during the switch. This can typically be addressed by running the water for a few minutes.

Additional information on the chloramination, including Frequently Asked Questions, is available on the UWSS website at www.unionwater.ca .

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the UWSS treatment plant at 519-326-4447 or contact your local municipal water department.
