Kingsville students host Gala in the Garden

By Pat Bailey

It was an evening to celebrate the fruits of their labour, organized and carried out by a Grade 8 French Immersion class from Kingsville Public School (KPS) Thursday evening, October 4.

What started as a lesson in problems locally and globally, turned into a charity fundraiser for the Kingsville Community ACCESS Garden and the KPS gardens.

For Keri Kaufman’s class of 24 young people, it was a lesson they could never have learned in the classroom. That was because it included a group of students determined to make a difference in their community.

Honorable Mentions:

Teacher Nominated: Miss Murray, South Shore Christian School Nominated by: Emily Sawatzky In honour of Teacher Appreciation Day, I’m going to tell you about the teacher who had the largest impact on my life, Miss Murray. She was kind, caring and thoughtful. When I was hurting, she got me a notebook to write down my feelings. When I was upset, she gave me a reason to smile. She set aside special time to do Bible and she took us on the best field trips. She even took us on a camping experience. I can always see Jesus shining through her.

Teacher Nominated: Ms. Buta, South Shore Christian School Nominated by: Lily Sawatzky, age 9 Ms. Buta was my Grade 3 teacher. I had her last year and she’s a lot of fun. We had a kindness jar and if you did something kind, you just dropped a bead in the jar. We even went to the recreation centre. She taught us about multiplication and subtraction. She taught us about Jesus Christ and even about the pioneers. It’s fun!

Teacher Nominated: Mr. Mann, East Mersea P.S. Nominated by: Jocelyn Giroux, age12 (Grade 7) Do you want to know who the greatest teacher in town is? Well, I'm happy to tell you he is Mr. Jason Mann. Mr. Mann is always funny, helpful and enjoyable to be around.

He makes the classroom a 'safe place'. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with a medical condition. After receiving the notice, he has gone above and beyond of what a teacher’s job description is. He has gotten to know me so well he can tell just by looking at me if I'm not feeling well. And with him caring so much, he almost feels like a second dad to me.

He deserves to be recognized.

Kingsville students host Gala in the Garden

(Continued from Front) Following a brainstorming session, the group decided to plan a fundraising harvest dinner in the same garden where much of the produce was grown.

And this was not to be just any dinner – it was one that featured local food, much of it grown just a couple of blocks from the school, in gardens the students helped tend.

Expectations were tempered, with Kaufman hoping to sell about 50 tickets and raise a few dollars to help continue those gardens.

Thursday evening though, over 140 people turned out to enjoy the home-cooked pasta dinner, with a green salad, roasted home-grown, freshly picked vegetables, followed by a dessert of pumpkin pie or apple crisp.

For 13-year-old Jaida Rivard it was a lesson in teamwork, co-operation and a lot of hard work. She learned a lot through the process, especially just how much work it takes

to organize and carry out a fundraiser.

You could see the pride in her eyes as over 100 people lined up to enjoy the harvest dinner, take in the entertainment and participate in the games set up by the students for a little family fun.

For Kaufman, it was also a lesson in community. She said the students learned the importance of community support, with several local businesses offering their support in one way or another. Restaurants offered their help and local businesses chipped in with donations to help make the students’ first attempt at a fundraiser a success.

The results were amazing. It was a lot of work, but Kaufman said, `”It was much more successful than I could’ve ever expected.”

She looked on proudly as students served meals, organized games and spoke about their experience in preparing for the evening.

OPP introduces Collision Reporting Centre in Essex County ESSEX COUNTY – Essex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is aiming to improve public safety and reducing traffic congestion with the introduction of a Collision Reporting Centre (CRC). The CRC is now operating in Essex County to provide a safer, quicker and more convenient way for drivers to report collisions that involve property damage.

A collision involving property damage but where no injuries are sustained by any of the involved parties can be reported to the Essex County CRC. This eliminates the need to call 9-1-1 for police attendance. Drivers can then move their vehicles, if driveable, to a safe location, reducing the risk of a secondary collision. This will help reduce traffic congestion by rapidly clearing the vehicles involved away from traffic, especially on major highways.

Drivers involved in a collision must exchange driver’s licence, vehicle and insurance information with the other involved drivers as required by Ontario law. If the damage is estimated to be over $2,000, you are required to report the collision within 48 hours.

By calling the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, drivers will be

provided with detailed information on what they need to do and where they can go to report a collision.

Motorists should still call 9-1-1 if a collision involves: • Any injuries or death.

• A driver failed to remain at the scene.

• Any vehicle carrying dangerous goods.

• Any suspected criminal activity (impaired driver, stolen vehicle).

• Any driver that refuses to cooperate with the required exchange of information.

• Any municipal, provincial or federal vehicle.

• Damage to the highway property or private property.

• A cyclist or pedestrian.

You can attend Essex County OPP at 1219 Hicks Road Lakeshore, Ontario or contact them by calling (519) 7232491 ext. 5501, if you are involved in a collision on OPP patrolled highways in Essex County and the collision meets the criteria. The Essex CRC is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

stand something we are learning new. He will take the time to go over the information until we get it and teaches us to stay positive.

He is so kind and we always have fun in class. He arranges amazing class trips and makes school cool.

He teaches us French and English. He is an awesome gym teacher that teaches us sports is fun even for the kids that do not like sports he gets them active.

He inspires me to work harder at my schoolwork to get good grades.

He also organizes school lunchtime sports for the entire school so we can have fun and get to know other kids from our school that are not in our classroom.

He teaches us how it is important to give back to our community and to treat everyone equal. We have done projects to help people in need in our community and it makes us feel so good to help others in need.

In addition, he gives up his own time and coaches the school sports teams. He teaches us to be a team player in sports and in life and to never give up.

Mr. D is an outstanding teacher for sure.

Teacher nominated: Ms. Toni Noble, Mount Carmel-Blythswood Nominated by: Grace Wehby (parent) We have been very lucky that all the teachers our children have had have been wonderful, but Ms. Noble stands out among them all.

She is one of the most patient and loving women I have ever met. She went above and beyond for my daughter to make sure she was in an environment where she could thrive and learn. My daughter would come home every day and tell me all the new things she learned and excelled in her reading, which she hated until Ms. Noble.

Ms. Noble is such a blessing.

Look out Kingsville, here we come!

So we are expanding our delivery into Kingsville this week.

That may come as a surprise to some and not to others.

It’s gives us a chance to bring what we believe is Essex County’s best community newspaper into the homes of the readers in Kingsville.

Mark Ribble The Southpoint Sun has been available in a few select stores in Kingsville for some time now, but this will be the first look for some folks who will get it this week.

There are people out there who say that the newspaper business is a dying breed, but we are here to say we are alive and well.

Sure, it has its challenges, but so does every other business model out there now. As times change, we all have to change with them.

As a former Kingsville resident, I’m happy to become a

RIB’S RAMBLINGS

part of your weekly reading, that is, if you choose to stop here on page 4 each week.

I lived in Kingsville from 1983 through much of 1987 or 88, right at the end of Pearl Street beside Evelyn and Tom Dawson.

At the time of my arrival there, I was the assistant manager of the Sanford and Son IGA in Harrow, where I think I lasted all of seven or eight months. Three of us had defected from the Leamington IGA to go where the grass was supposedly greener. Steve Holke, myself and Rob Rounding took management positions there and I think we were all gone before a year was up. Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you hope they will and that was one of those cases.

I still have fond memories of the people I worked with there.

In the winter of 1984, I decided to plunge into the real estate course at St. Clair College and eventually took a job working for Stewart Wolf at what was then called Command Realty out of his office on Division South.

I sold myself my first house and we settled on Pearl Street, where my oldest son Chris spent his newborn and toddler years. He’s about to turn 33 next week, so yes that

was a long time ago.

So Kingsville holds a lot of memories for me, from playing baseball and hockey against the Kingsville teams, to working and living there.

I’ve written before about our 1980 Juvenile C Ontario baseball championship, which included Rick Thurston and Greg Nelson who migrated from Kingsville (no goose pun intended) to play with us that year.

Other Kingsville guys that I had the pleasure of playing with include Kyle Scratch, Jeff Sunderland and Marc Arner, all of whom played for the Leamington Barons for many years.

So settle in Kingsvillites. I’ll attempt to bring a little humour and lots of reminiscing to you each week. I try not to get too political or controversial, although I do jump on the soapbox now and again.

In Leamington, everyone remembers Woolworths and hanging out at Diana Sweets on the weekend. Over in Wheatley, where everyone has a nickname, and everyone else knows what it is, we reminisce about Omstead’s and Fisherman’s Cove. In Kingsville we have Lakseide Park and the heyday of Jack Miner. Lots to talk about so stay tuned.

In the midst of good bones In June, Mark and I purchased a new smaller house in Wheatley. As I flipped through all of the pictures that the realtor emailed me, something caught my eye and I sensed a feeling of home.

Recently I returned back home again. Catching my first bout of ‘island fever’, I found myself tired and unmotivated for the first time since arriving four years ago. We had just returned from our vacation not long before, so feeling a tad guilty I forged on and tried to overcome the negative.

It didn’t work. One morning after breakfast I said to Mark that I needed to go home, and being the supportive guy he is, he agreed.

Mark, the yin to my yang, had a lengthy list of projects on the cay and was motivated daily to get them done. I, on the other hand, was at a standstill. The new windows and doors were keeping the guest homes airtight and free of little critters and salt residue. I wasn’t having to go through them weekly to clean as I had before. The daunting thought of being in the kitchen from the end of November until April, when the owners were on the island, freed my conscience and I flew off the cay.

Now I could tackle the list that was in my head: sand floor, remove wallpaper, help to remove walls and thin out

the gardens were at the top.

Soon after my arrival the summer heat dipped into the fresher fall temperatures. The windows at the new house were opened – a rare event on the cay – and the waft of a white autumn clematis drew me out to the garden. I could hear Arthur in my mind saying, “Oh the fish are going to freeze!”

This trip back, the second weekend blessed us all with the perfect fall days – crisp and clear with refreshing temperatures in the shade. I purchased a good-sized tarp and methodically began my excavation in the large garden just inside the fence. It wasn’t long after carefully digging out plants and placing them on the tarp that I confirmed that not only did my new garden have good roots and wonderful soil, but also great bones!

In no time at all I had thinned out the garden, enough to get on my hands and knees and in the dirt. Only a fellow gardener would realize the gift that I had been left by the past owners. The soil was a combination of years of composting, perhaps some manure and the love of gardeners, and I could smell it. As I knelt digging with my hands, the sunshine warmed my back and it became very clear how much I needed dirt therapy and I happily continued on.

My first garden, edged with thyme, is going to be the herb garden with surprises of lupine, echinacea, columbine and rose blossoms throughout the growing season. Clearing the overgrown Shannon plantings gave Matheson light to the placement of stones, pathways, trellises and birdbaths, the bones to it all.

While visiting home I cherish the time spent with friends and family. More than ever, it has become apparent that we are in the midst of our life. My peers are heading up community groups and leading the positive change around us. I may still think of them and myself as the young generation, but with our own children edging up on their thirties and our parents into their eighties, I realize that perhaps we aren’t anymore.

Our roots, like the garden’s, during the early stage of

Minister of Environment pays visit to discuss challenges facing the area KINGSVILLE – The Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Rod Phillips, was in Kingsville on Friday morning, October 5, for a round table discussion on some of the challenges facing the area. Leamington mayor John Paterson was on hand to greet the minister and share with him some of the concerns that are on the forefront in Leamington – the shoreline, the widening of the Highway 3 bypass and phosphorus loading in Lake Erie. Cole Cacciavillani, co-founder of Aphria, explained to the minister that the greenhouses are doing their best to be environmentally friendly, with the recycling of water, and the importance of safe water in greenhouse production.

They were joined by Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos, ERCA representatives and several other business people and politicians, to hear their concerns. Southwestern Ontario Gleaners representative Tina Quiring also offered insight into the works of her organization, their need for a larger facility and the importance of diverting the produce used in their operation from local landfills to help feed those in need. From left to right are: Leamington mayor John Paterson; Rod Phillips, provincial Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks; and Cole Cacciavillani, co-founder of Aphria.

Get to know your local trustee candidates Schools are more than simple bricks and mortar. They are the foundation and heart of their communities. Schools connect students, parents, teachers, school staff, citizens and locally elected school board trustees together in support of a common goal – building bright futures for students.

Creating that future in schools is a local affair and that’s why it is vital to vote for school board trustees. They bridge the gap between the community and the school board and ensure boards are accountable to parents, guardians and their local communities for student success and well-being.

On Monday, October 22, Municipal and School Board elections will be held throughout the province of Ontario.

Voters will choose school trustees for 72 school boards in Ontario’s four publicly funded systems.

Trustees are responsible for the education of Ontario’s children. Voters should know who their local school board

trustee candidates are and what they stand for before going to the polls on October 22.

That’s why the website elections.ontarioschooltrustees. org was created by the Ontario Education Services Corporation (OESC) on behalf of Ontario’s four school board/ trustee associations. It features profiles of trustee candidates across all of Ontario’s school boards, wards and zones.

After election day, the site will be updated with election results.

Voters can also follow the conversation on Twitter by using the elections hashtag: #OntEdVotes.

School board trustees play a key leadership role in public education.

Get to know your local trustee candidates before voting in the Municipal and School Board elections on October 22.

In the midst of good bones (Continued from page 4) our life are integral for our healthy growth. The bones, on the other hand, are what we see when the fall leaves drop off the trees and the plants wither and die at the end of the season. Our bones make us and our gardens interesting after the flourish of flowers and the green has gone.

While my hands were in the dirt or sweeping up a pile of dust in the house, my mind becomes less cluttered and content. It’s the simple things that we enjoy and choose to focus on that build the bones, our character.

Struggles of all types continue throughout life. My mother writes a Facebook blog of sorts throughout the week in the wee hours of her morning. It reaches out to friends of all ages who although they may not share the aches and pains of my mother’s body as it lets her down, they share the way she chooses to let her bones carry her. Her mind takes her to the window in awe of a spider spinning her web or a butterfly released from her fingertip into the wild. My mother’s deep breaths refresh her and refresh us all as the positivity flows throughout every capillary in our bodies.

Life’s long, life’s short… and our minds get overgrown and cluttered. Taking time to weed out the things in our life that are not necessary and instead focus on the simple pleasures that make each of us who we are. We may limp, our backs may ache, but nothing can ever take away the fact that we’ve chosen to build strong bones.

As I write this, I look forward to meeting Mark and celebrating our 30 years of married life together. We will then head to Saskatchewan for Thanksgiving with our daughter Michaela, son-in-law Zach and his family. Together, the life of Zach’s father, Bob Halwachs, who exemplified the perfect gardener, will be celebrated. “He was a simple man. He never chased, relished in or needed material items to make himself happy.

He never prided himself on having the most money, fanciest vehicle or biggest house, but prided himself on love and success of his family and the great friendships he made everywhere he went. He loved his friends and loved his family more.” – Part of the eulogy written by his sons.

Fall is the perfect time to be thankful and to continue building on good bones.

IN MEMORIAM In Memory Of

Martin WilliaM taves 1971 - 2017 “Death cannot stop true love.

All it can do is delay it for a while.”

Westley to Buttercup, The Princess Bride.

As a resident of Leamington, I am becoming more and more concerned about what seems like an increase in bullying, house break-ins, house invasions, car break-ins and general criminal activity.

I originally moved to Leamington over 9 years ago to become the minister of Leamington United Church. I have just recently retired and my wife and I decided that we would retire here in Leamington. There are many things Rev. Paul Rodey about Leamington that helped us make our decision to stay here to retire.

Lately, with a number of things that have happened, the reputation of this town is being tarnished by a few individuals who have absolutely no respect for this town or its residents.

I recently had a conversation with a 90-year-old female resident of Leamington, who has lived here all of her life, just like her parents. During my conversation, this woman told me that her house has been broken into a number of times. She has called the police, who really had nothing to offer her. Now, please realize that I am not writing this article to complain about the police – they have a tough job to do under normal circumstances. This 90-yearold woman came into the store where I am working to buy more locks for her doors. She also told me that one night she was getting ready for bed and turned around to see someone standing in her doorway.

This woman was quite clear about what had happened to her and why she needed more locks on her doors. I have no reason not to believe what she was telling me.

We are all probably aware of the more recent assault of a young woman known to many of us who was brutally beaten on the streets of Leamington. Her assailant has been charged with attempted murder.

I understand that police eyes cannot be everywhere. Isn’t it our responsibility as citizens of this fine town to look out for and support each other? How can we live a responsible and meaningful life without caring for our neighbour? We need to speak out in support of each other, isn’t it our civic duty? People today are generally afraid to speak to strangers, let alone speak out when we see something happening that we know isn’t acceptable anywhere.

A municipal election will soon be upon us and I think it’s our responsibility to let our elected officials know what we expect for our town and the life we all want to lead, free from bullies and thieves. Get a list of those who are running for office and let them know now, before the elecBIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, GRADUATIONS, BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS, tion, what it is that we expect as citizens and parents of MEMORIAMS, CARDS OF THANKS children of Leamington, Ontario.

LMHS to honour Reg Mulholland with Heritage Award

By C. Scott Holland

LEAMINGTON - The Leamington and Mersea Historical Society (LMHS) has announced the third of their four 2018 Heritage Awards.

The Heritage Awards are being presented for the 21st time and honour individuals, groups and families from the past and present for the invaluable heritage and historic contributions they have made to Leamington and the former area of Mersea Township.

This year’s recipient of the LMHS Living Contribution Award is Reg Mulholland.

Mulholland competed in minor hockey in Kingston and played Junior A under former Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Wings great and Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman.

In 1961 he spent 1½ months with the Montreal Canadiens before playing with the Clinton Comets of the Eastern Professional Hockey League. By the late 1960s, he had spent a

number of seasons playing Senior A hockey in Sarnia, Chatham and Port Clinton.

Prior to coaching in the Great Lakes Jr. C loop and joining the Leamington Flyers as their head coach in 1978, Mulholland spent four seasons as head coach of the Mooretown Flags, plus one season as coach of the Wheatley Omsteads (Seaway Intermediate League).

Reg Mulholland

During his time with Leamington, he won several playoff titles and the Schmalz Cup, symbolic of the All-Ontario Jr. C cham-

pionship. During his tenure with the Flyers, his teams vied for the Schmalz Cups several times including one season (1981/82) when the format was changed to a round-robin tournament in Bracebridge. Many felt the Flyers should have won the title that season, but Reg and his boys faltered during the four-team tourney and did not get to the finals.

In 1992, he became an assistant coach for the newly formed Leamington Flyers Jr. B squad, but only stayed with the club for one season When he came to Leamington, Mulholland was a horseman at heart and operated a stable of racehorses in both Kingston and Leamington.

He eventually made Leamington his base and has been an integral part of local horse racing in Leamington and Essex County ever since that time – a total of 40 plus years. He has also been an active member of the local Agricultural Society.

While Mulholland’s

hockey skills with the Leamington Flyers (1978/79 to 1985/86) are his main claim to fame, one must remember that he has helped hundreds of young men become better hockey players and young adults, as well as giving his time, wisdom and abilities toward keeping horse racing and the Leamington & District Agricultural Society thriving.

The Town of Leamington has been a much richer community, thanks to Reg’s efforts.

Other award winners this year include the Henry Iacobelli family, the late Lynn Foster and the Leamington Southwestern Ontario Gleaners.

The Leamington & Mersea Historical Society will hold their 21st annual Heritage Awards Banquet at the Leamington Roma Club on Friday, November 2. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the meal commencing at 7 p.m. Tickets ($35 per person) for the event can be purchased by contacting Paul BunnettJones at pbunnettjones@ cogeco.ca or 519-322-6340.

Talbot Street and east of town WHEATLEY – Sun. Oct. 14 the worship service will be at Talbot Street Community United Church, 3741 Talbot Trail (old Hwy #3) east of Wheatley at 9:30 a.m. with Eric in the pulpit.

On Sun. Oct. 28, Talbot Street United will celebrate its 146th Anniversary.

Come and meet old and new friends with Eric and the rest of us at 9:30 a.m. Everyone is invited.

Wednesday morning Faith Talks are being held at the Charing Cross United Church kitchen at 10 a.m. until Christmas.

Please continue your help to Wheatley’s Food Bank.

It’s all appreciated.

We hold in our prayers: Margaret Dodman, Dorothy Schoof, Jamie Armstrong, Clarence J., Jon, Tom, and Terry Shanks.

Wrandumb Thots We were kept busy with our own family Thanksgiving. Scott took the manually turned handle of our family cider press and had it re-jigged by a friend, so everyone got their chance at turning the crank to crush those apples.

We’re all especially happy when one of the grandchildren brings a friend as it makes less physical work for the rest of us. If the visi-

tor can’t pass the cranking test or putting up with our occasionally raucous family members, too bad! Ciderfest is our Thanksgiving family tradition.

Grandson Tanis has been taking advantage of the mini-pears on the tree that’s been in our farm laneway since we moved in 58 years ago. He has mulled his own pear cider (with G’ma’s spices and kettle) for several years now. Scott makes an apple beer that he’s proud of. Both are excellent. Our apple and pear ciders have the advantage of being extremely organic, with extra animal protein included, since they are never sprayed.

Some years the weather was mild enough to allow us to spread out tables down the driveway and eat our festive meal outdoors.

Some years we rented the Talbot Street basement if

the weather was cold/windy enough to make our teeth shiver and the turkey gravy freeze over.

Candidate for Mayor

Accountable to all Taxpayers Director of Leamington’s Infrastructure states a 2% water rate increase is necessary to pay costs for the new $3.86M water meter system & build funds for it’s replacement in 20 years.

Subsequently, Leamington has realized a $1.3M water / sewer surplus which was utilized to offset costs for the Mill Street upgrades. IMO, this 2% increase is no more than a cash grab.

If elected Mayor of Leamington I pledge all future projects will be administered in a fiscally responsible realm with the forefront of all final decisions driven by accountability to the taxpayer.

Accountability from all officials is paramount.

Drive Away Hunger a success at St. Louis

By Bryan Jessop

Thanksgiving offered Leamington much to be thankful for this year, including the generosity of St. Louis Catholic Elementary School.

The Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 students at St. Louis dedicated the week prior to the holiday weekend collecting non-parishable food items for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less fortunate. The

initiative was again organized through Farm Credit Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive Away Hunger program, which originated in Listowel in October of 2004.

Once the collection of bags and boxes had been loaded into pick up trucks

by St. Louis Grade 5 and 6 students, FCC representatives and volunteers with the driveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipient â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the St. Vicent de Paul food bank at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Leamington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a sum of 2,189 pounds had

been weighed. The total surpassed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Louis donation of 1,395 pounds by 794 pounds or 64 per cent.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the kids involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big, valuable life lesson for them. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always see what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like for the less fortunate.â&#x20AC;?

Community Living Essex County has entered the Big Idea category, which will also offer seven consolation prizes of $15,000. Winners from both categories will be revealed November 20. As of the voting deadline, One Path Fits All had garnered about 4,400 votes.

An example of the accessibility mats that Community Living hopes to purchase was brought to this year’s Ruthven Apple Festival by the Town of Lakeshore.

DeSantis noted that the displayed sample of the mat was put through its paces and remained intact.

“People tested it out and they were happy with what they saw,” he said. “They’re thinner than a car floor mat.

We jumped on them and there was no trouble.”

DeSantis explained that the mats run a length of between 150 and 200 feet each and despite being somewhat heavy, are easily rolled up for transport and storage.

Multiple lengths of the mats can be joined together using four-inch spikes that allow each section to stay in place without shifting. Should Community Living be able to purchase an ample number of the mats next spring, they’ll be made available for community events such as Leamington Fair, Comber Fair, Belle River Sunsplash, Tecusmeh Corn Fest and several others. Community Living would require fees

An example of an accessibility mat displayed courtesy of the Town of Lakeshore was revealed at the 2018 Ruthven Apple Festival at Colasanti’s Tropical Garden. Residents can vote for a Community Living Essex County project dubbed “One Path Fits All” at www.avivacommunityfund.org for a chance to earn $100,000 for the purchase of similar mats.

In the event that One Path

New twist to SECC open house

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Clients being supported by an annual event have become that same event’s supporters.

The South Essex Community Council hosted its yearly open house Tuesday, Oct. 2 at its Talbot Street East headquarters, where language students took on a major role in highlighting Leamington’s diversity. The event offered a handful of presentations including a MultiCultural Fair hosted and organized by the SECC’s language students. The group created and arranged displays describing the attributes of their original home countries and prepared meals traditional to their birth nations for visitors.

Language classes at the SECC are currently attended by 40 to 50 recent immigrants to the Leamington area and are available in morning, afternoon “This is a good and evening courses, five days per week. The classes opportunity for our run from September to June each week and allow language students to students time off for Christmas and March Break to engage with the rest of ensure they can care for their children while they’re the community.” not in school.

In the foyer immediately west of the SECC’s main entrance, Starbucks offered free coffee to guests as a promotion of its impending expansion into Leamington later this month.

The same area also hosted a drum circle as part of musical entertainment that also featured Paige Frankfurth and guests performing traditional music as part of the Multi-Cultural Fair.

Perch Fry raises $16,770 for Hospice

By Pat Bailey

WHEATLEY – Marnie Bowman never made it to hospice, but her family knows full well the important role hospice plays in end-of-life care. On Saturday, October 6, in memory of the well-loved Wheatley woman, her family hosted a fundraiser to support the Hospice of Windsor and Essex - Erie Shores Campus.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the Bowman and Hyatt families worked together to serve over a hundred perch dinners as a tribute.

Mark Bowman, husband of the late Marnie Bowman, wasn’t surprised by the turnout, but he was happy to see the excellent response and support of the local communities.

He said his wife was scheduled to go into hospice care on

Aug. 14, but unfortunately she passed away the day before at just 55 years of age.

Well-known Wheatley resident, volunteer and fundraiser Larry McDonald was there to lend his support.

A friend of Marnie’s dad Neil Hyatt, Larry said he was not at all surprised by the response, and was touched by the family’s selflessness in planning such a wonderful event in her memory.

“It`s just wonderful of them to do this,” he said, as over 100 people gathered on the grounds of Taylor Fish Company to lend their support and indulge in a fresh perch dinner.

About 15 family members gave up their Saturday to prepare the dinners, serve the dinners, sell tickets and clean up, all in the name of love.

Taste Leamington project begins

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – A new community program has set out to open the minds, hearts and mouths of Leamington visitors who’ve arrived with an appetite.

Taste Leamington officially launched Tuesday, Oct. 2 at The Gallery Restaurant, one of four businesses participating in the inaugural year of the new program. Members of municipal council and administration, local business owners and representatives and other guests gathered at the 11 Queen St. business to see, hear and taste what the new project is about. Leamington’s culture and development officer Kyra Knapp, mayor John Paterson, CAO Peter Neufeld, Crave Family Grill and Pub owner Chad Robinson and Leamington BIA board chairperson Lisa Bradt spoke to guests to officially welcome Taste Leamington to residents and visitors of the community.

“I’m really proud that this campaign embraces the cultural aspect of our town of Leamington,” said Paterson.

To start, Taste Leamington’s participating businesses include The Gallery Restaurant, Pita Place, Pho Saigon and Crave Family Grill and Pub, offering Portuguese, Greek, Vietnamese/Thai and traditional North American cuisine, respectively. The program’s launch has been limited to restaurants operating in Leamington’s downtown core, but for 2019, will expand to include interested eateries from across the municipality.

Although the process of reaching out to other local restaurants is in its early stages, interest in the program has already begun gaining momentum. Judging by feedback on Taste Leamington from other restaurant owners, another 10 businesses could be added to the list for 2019.

“There seems to be a lot of interest in next year’s program,” Knapp explained. “What

Respiratory therapist wins $25,000 in hospital lottery

LEFT: Ken Dunn, the winner of Erie Shores Health Foundation`s grand prize of $25,000 in the ‘Almost 50k Giveaway’ draw.

By Pat Bailey

BELOW: From left to right: Mary Defrancisco, Libby French, Angie Fraser and Kym Mercer pooled their money to buy a ticket. The Erie Shores HealthCare ER team won $500.

Word travels fast in a small town, just ask Ken Dunn.

While he was working out at the gym, he missed a phone call.

But before he even had a chance to return that call, Dunn received a call from his wife Allison.

“Did you win the $25,000?” she asked.

Dunn was caught offguard by the question. She had apparently heard through the grapevine that her husband held the winning ticket in the Erie Shores Health Foundation`s Almost 50K Giveaway fundraising raffle.

So Dunn called the hospital back and got confirmation that his name was indeed on the winning ticket.

While extremely excited to hear the news, Dunn also knew he had another call to make-to friend and co-worker Jeff Jackson.

You see, the duo not only work together, they often split on lottery tickets and raffle tickets, especially when they support a good cause.

And for Dunn and Jackson, the good cause in this case also happens to be their workplace, Erie Shores HealthCare.

Dunn has been a respiratory therapist in Leamington for about 16 years and said he and his co-worker decided to split on a ticket since it benefited such a good cause.

"He thought I was joking," said Dunn.

But it was no joke.

The Almost $50K Giveaway ticket sale was launched in July, and saw almost 1,700 tickets sold over two months. The 32 draws took place throughout the month of September and $49,999 worth of prizes were awarded.

“We are always looking for ways that we can raise funds to support healthcare in our community,” says Ross Barnwell, Executive Director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation.“But we also know that people are busy and can’t attend events every weekend. We needed to brainstorm a new idea that would be beneficial for everyone."

Barnwell said they are pleased with the inaugural fundraiser, raising over $18,000 to benefit the hospital and hospice, and he said the promotion has the potential to grow each year.

Barnwell said he was touched by the heartwarming stories shared by some of the community winners, including one who had been treated for a serious heart attack. The ticket purchase, he said, had been that patient's way of giving back to the hospital.

As for the plans for Dunn's winnings, "I'm sure my wife has it spent," he joked.

The Kingsville man said they actually plan on a tropical vacation this winter, probably in the Caribbean with his wife and two children, Avery, 8, and Jaxon, 5.

His co-winner, said Dunn, has a special 25th anniverary trip planned with his share.

Following their evaluation, volunteer judges Susan Ellis and Tina Liu wrote: “The Seacliff Park Waterfront Trail and Beachfront that welcomes pedestrians along the water’s edge of Lake Erie is a spectacular people place for the residents and visitors of Leamington that anchors the community throughout the year. Raised flowerbeds along the promenade are maintained by Parks staff and add lovely splashes of colour. Accent lighting, picnic and seating areas both welcome and guide visitors along the route, from the Amphitheatre, children’s playground and beach volleyball court at one end, to the beautiful Marina at the other.

The concept for Taste Leamington was transformed into a functioning entity over the past spring and summer along with the music series introduced to the Seacliff Park Amphitheatre. Knapp explained that the new program will be inclusionary to Leamington with a promotional process that includes videography, photography, Facebook, Instagram and other social media avenues and a menu button accessible through www.onthe42.com.

Videos will tell the stories of participating Taste Leamington restaurants while the program takes place in a partnership with the Migrant Worker Community Program, South Essex Community Council and crucial support from the Leamington Uptown Business Improvement Association.

In addition to the incentive’s promotional aspect, assistance is available to its participants to help them achieve ‘tourism readiness’.

Knapp explained that Taste Leamington will help its restaurant members appeal to customers with convenient business hours, easily interpreted menus and other aspects and features that attract clientele.

“We want people to know that Leamington offers culinary experiences that range from quick foods to fine dining,” she said.

“This program is the next step in promoting the tourism strengths of Leamington,” added Neufeld, who explained that the objective is to embrace global cuisine while at the same time eating at local establishments.

“We’ve got the momentum already and we can build on it for the rest of the community.”

Although Taste Leamington’s current focus is on local restaurants, Knapp explained that it may one day expand to include other components of the community’s hospital industry such as pubs and breweries.

Restaurant owners interested in taking part in the program can contact Knapp at kyra@leamington.ca or 519-326-5761 extension 1602.

Look, Listen, Learn during 2018 Fire Prevention Week

The dreaded red wine headache

Leamington Fire Services is A lot of people comment about getting a headache when drinking red wine. I have urging residents to look, listen yet to hear a definitive answer on this, and there are many theories that may explain and learn about fire safety durthe situation. I’ll attempt to address a few of them briefly. This is, in fact, so common ing this year’s Fire Prevention an occurrence that it has been labelled “RWH Week. This year’s theme of Fire syndrome” for “red wine headache”.

Prevention Week, which runs First, I’d like to address the idea that it’s from October 7-13, is “Look. the sulphites in red wine that cause the headListen. Learn. Be aware. Fire ache. There are actually more sulphites in can happen anywhere.” white wines than in red, as many wineries The theme focuses on funCarmen Danner add SO2 (sulphur dioxide) to white wines as damental actions people can an antioxidant. take to be fire-safe: Look for There are other reasons for its use, but there’s not enough room in this column to set potential fire hazards around them all out. Not being a chemist, I’m not going to say that there is not something else your home and take action to in red wine that, in combination with the sulphites, causes your headaches, but it apprevent fire from starting: pears that the sulphites alone are not the culprit.

A damaged cord can exwine headache sufferers don’t have an issue.

So for now there is no definitive answer to what causes the dreaded red wine headache. It is clear that RWS syndrome is a personal issue, as everything – down to the wood in which the wine is fermented or aged, and even the soil in which the grapes are grown, can – and does – introduce Growing different characteristics and elements into the final product.

Since 1921 What can you do about this? The simple answer is to stick to what works for you. The more complicated answer is to track your food intake to see what else may cause the headaches. And if you’re really determined to drink red wine, track the grape, the wine region, and the processing/bottling/ageing process to see what other factors or elements may be a trigger.

Some studies have indicated that vitamin B6 may reduce the reaction as it increases your body’s ability to process histamines. Or try taking an anti-histamine or histamineblocker before opening that bottle of red wine. And of course, drink at least equal amounts of water while drinking any type of alcohol to reduce dehydration. Also, try to avoid 239 Rd 5 Between Hwy 77 and Albuna Townline eating sugary foods while drinking red wine.

SABRINA

DAISY

Sabrina is a very sweet and affectionate cat. She adores being pet and getting her neck and chin scratched. Sabrina loves to follow you around wherever you may go and loves to climb up onto your lap for your attention. Sabrina does not like to play with toys and would much rather be showered with your affection than toys.

Sabrina would do best in a quiet home.

Daisy is a sweet girl hoping for an understanding owner. She likes to do things her way and she would prefer you not to challenge this. She loves going for walks and really loves the people she grows bonds with, sometimes too much.

So much so she doesn’t want to share her people with any other friends her size. She is hoping to be the only pet in the home.

pose wires and result in a potential shock or fire hazard.

• Make sure everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarms and can hear them in an emergency. Early detection of fire provided by smoke alarms gives you the extra seconds you need to get out safely.

• Learn two ways out of every room. Practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your home before a fire starts so you and your family can get out quickly.

“Everyone has a responsibility to protect their family and home from fire.

Prevention is always the best course of action. Identify potential fire hazards in your home and take action to make sure a fire doesn’t start,” said LFS Chief Andrew Baird.

News of the Pews - Christmas boxes ready to be filled Wheatley United Church… a place where your spirit can rest.

WHEATLEY – Thanksgiving Sunday and Worldwide Communion falling on the same day this year gave rise to the questions: How often do we stop and thank God for his good gifts to us?

As Christians, how often should we pause to remember and give thanks for His greatest gift in Jesus Christ?

Thank you to the ushers.

The congregation looks forward to Ted Cobby and Neil Adamson ushering for the Oct. 14 service.

Thank you to Ellen and Ed Sallmen for sharing the gifts of their garden. The corn stalks and pumpkins decorating the church were a reminder to give thanks for the bounty of the harvest.

If you missed the opportunity last Sunday to hear McKenna Pearce share her plans for a three-week mission trip to teach English to students in the Domini-

can Republic, plan to stay for Coffee Hour following worship on Oct. 14. Freewill offering will go toward supplies to be donated to the school where she will be volunteering.

Wheatley United welcomed Pat Vince as team leader of the Suppertime program and looks forward to working together in preparing and sharing the community meal.

No time wasted, as the first of these meals for this coming season is scheduled for October 11 serving from

Bruno the Cat Finds a Home at Hospice

Bruno the cat started coming around Erie Shores Hospice about two years ago. One of the residents started feeding him and named him Bruno.

Staff started buying cat food and watching for him every day. He usually shows up between 7:00 and 7:30 for breakfast, and hangs around quite a bit during the daytime. They trapped him last year and got him fixed and microchipped. Staff and volunteers all pitched in and had enough to pay his vet bills,

and they also bought him a house to keep him warm in the winter. Bruno now goes from one patio to the next visiting residents and families. He hasn’t let anyone

pet him yet, but hopefully in time he will trust people enough to let them do so.

He truly has become part of the Hospice family.

4:30-5:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Leamington Boarding House Study: public open house is this week Leamington Municipal Council passed Interim Control By-law #78-16 on November 16, 2016 for the purpose of prohibiting the use of land, structures and buildings for the establishment of Boarding, Lodging and Rooming Houses within the Municipality for the period of one year.

In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, a study of Boarding Houses has been completed by Jones Consulting Group Ltd., including recommendations for amendments to the Official Plan, Zoning By-law and the establishment of licencing to regulate Boarding Houses.

A Public Open House will be held Thursday, Oct. 11 from 3-7 p.m. at the Leamington Municipal Office, 111 Erie St. N., to provide information to the public regarding the findings and recommendations of the Boarding House Study.

The study recommends that Leamington establish policies, regulations and licencing to allow boarding houses in a manner that is safe, appropriately serviced and in keeping with the character of existing neighborhoods. As directed

by Council at the regular meeting of August 13, 2018, draft amendments to the Official Plan (2008) and Zoning By-law 890-09, as amended have been prepared and are available for public review.

Residents are encouraged to attend the open house at their convenience and to offer input into the consideration of the draft policies, regulations and the provisions that may be included within a boarding house licencing by-law regulating the maintenance and operation of a boarding house.

There will be no formal presentation at the open house; however, it is an opportunity to obtain copies of the proposed amendments, as well as discuss them directly with municipal staff.

A survey regarding the boarding house licencing by-law can be found on the municipal website at www.leamington. ca/boardinghouses Copies of the draft Official Plan policies and Zoning Bylaw regulations are available for review at the Municipal Office during regular office hours. If you are not able to attend the Public Open House, you are encouraged to submit comments by: • Mail: Municipality of Leamington, Planning Services, Attention Boarding House Study, 111 Erie St. N., Leamington, ON N8H 2Z9 • Email: planning@leamington.ca • In person at the Leamington Municipal Building, • Fax: 519-326-2481 A Statutory Public Meeting of Council will be held at a future date prior to Council adopting policies and regulations related to Boarding Houses. Additional notice of the date of the public meeting will be provided to the general public via publication in the Southpoint Sun and on the Municipality’s website at www.leamington.ca/boardinghouses

Ontario farmers and food processers generate over $30-billion annually for the economy Agriculture and local food – you have heard me talk about this in previous columns and how fortunate and blessed we are here in Ontario with the abundance of fresh and nutritious foods all year round. In many areas of the world, people don’t even have enough food from day to day, let alone all year long.

Farmers and food processors throughout Ontario contribute to a vibrant industry that generates over $30 billion a year for the economy, employs over 650,000 people, Kim Cooper and ships over $8 billion in exports every year. Ontario’s food industry includes such sectors as cereal and flour, meat and poultry, beverages, fruit and vegetables, dairy, feed, bakery, and other food products.

More than 200 commodities are produced in Ontario including fruits, vegetables, livestock, dairy, poultry, grains, and oilseeds.

There are nearly 75,000 farm operators in Ontario and each farmer in Ontario produces enough food to feed 120 people every year. That is efficiency at its best!

Approximately 1,700 food and beverage processors are located in Ontario – almost half of all food and beverage processors in Canada.

Some 60% of head offices of Canadian food and beverage processors are located in Ontario.

Ontario leads the country in agri-food exports. Last year, we shipped over $8 billion in agri-food products around the world.

Agriculture is about apples and acres, beef cattle and barley, corn and crop advisors, ducks and drainage, eggs and estate wines, fruit and farms, gourds and grapes, hay and heifers, irrigation and infra-red technology, jack-o-lanterns and jalapeno peppers, kale and kidney beans, llamas and liquid fertilizer, milk and marketing, nectarines and new born calves, oilseeds and organics, pork and poultry, quail and quality grain standards, radishes and research, soybeans and sweet corn, tractors and tomatoes, udders and urea, veal and vegetables, weather and wheat, xylem and xenogamy, yields and yearlings, and zeeee best farmers and ag business people in the world.

Bottom line: our lives depend on agriculture. So the next time you come across one of the local producers or agri business people, make sure to thank them for what they do.

They have a huge impact on the local economy and we want to make sure they continue the important work they do for people here and around the world.

Kim Cooper has been involved in the agribusiness sector for over 45 years. He can be reached at kim.e.cooper@gmail.com You can also follow him on Twitter at ‘theAGguy’.

Friendship Club enjoys afternoon of musical entertainment

By Bonnie Dawson

WHEATLEY – The Wheatley & District Friendship Club’s meeting for October 3 began with the singing of O Canada led by Steve Morin, Gord Harwood and Joel Westlake. President Harold then gave the blessing.

Jean Brodie and yours truly were on lunch and provided delicious cakes and ice cream for dessert. Thanks to Bill Merritt and Jr. Churchill who helped with the cleanup.

The 50/50 draws were won by Steve Morin and Tammy Krawchuk.

Musical guests were Steve Morin, Gord Harwood and Joel Westlake. They provided an eclectic mix of songs both well-known and less familiar.

Whether we knew the songs or not, the band had our toes a-tapping. Thank you, Steve, Gord and Joel for a most enjoyable afternoon.

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 17 at 1:30 p.m. It will feature donuts and Bingo. Marlene Wilkins and Tammy Krawchuk will be on lunch.

It’s time!

L E A M I N G TO N Hello Leamington, I have been saying...it’s time, since the beginning of my campaign. Now the time is at hand. It’s time to vote by telephone or online from October 12th to October 22nd.

I hope you have had a chance to see my dedication to my campaign. I opened my office at 13 Russell Street on July 9th. Since then, I have met with many sectors of Leamington, from agriculture, field and greenhouse, land development, manufacturing, retail, social service providers to neighborhood ambassadors and residents of every description. I have met folks in my office, at the farm, over lunch, over coffee, on the job or at the kitchen table.

I have averaged 4 to 5 visitors in my office every day.

All with one purpose...to be heard.

I have heard time and time again that complaints fall on deaf ears; that emails and phone calls don’t get returned.

I plan to change that.

I want this job, Leamington. In fact, I dare say that I want it more than my competitors. I hope my sense of passion came through if we crossed paths on the campaign trail.

It is my intention to find solutions to the problems we are experiencing in our municipality, together in partnership with the community.

With a new government at the helm, provincially, and a new local representative coming federally, the time is right to make a change at the municipal level.

Please contact me at 519-819-4551 or email hilda4mayor@gmail.com if you have questions or concerns. I am available at my office Monday through Thursday 10 to 1pm.

It has been a pleasure meeting so many of you over the course of my campaign.

It’s time....for action. Please vote!

RUTHVEN — Giving the world’s best hockey players a competitive ‘edge’ is now a process that begins in Kingsville.

Blackstone Sports, located on Setterington Drive in Ruthven, has been taking the compromise out of the way the game’s top skaters perform since 2010. The locally developed and implemented “Flat Bottom V” design etched into the bottom of skate blades with the company’s “Spinner” system has been met with the approval of players and equipment managers of most National Hockey League teams.

Skate sharpening equipment designed and manufactured

by Blackstone Sports is offering a new alternative to traditional techniques that have for years etched a concave groove into the bottom of blades. The newer design creates a flat surface flanked by straight angles or ‘fangs’ that allow for both higher speeds with less effort and greater agility in Ruthven-based Blackstone Sports’ equipment is used by most of turns and corners. Less distance between the flat surface and the 31 National Hockey League teams, including the Stanley Cup the tips of the outer edges — depth of flat — permits more finalist Las Vegas Knights.

Sharks beat division leaders

By Bryan Jessop

The Wheatley Omstead Sharks are quickly turning an 0-2 start into a distant memory.

The Sharks extended their winning streak to four games Wednesday, Oct. 3 as they earned a 3-2 overtime victory against the division-leading Dresden Kings. With the win, Wheatley jumped into a four-way tie for second place with a record of 4-2-0-0. The loss was Dresdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second of the regular season and the first in extra minutes.

The first period offered spectators and fast and fluent pace that ended in a 1-1 draw. Dresdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Shaw opened the scoring just over five minutes into the match, beating Catalin Morin with a wrist shot planted into the top left corner. Wheatleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense was a force to be reckoned with for all but the four minutes the hosts spent killing penalties while its defense kept Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scoring opportunities to a minimum.

Evan Prince tied the game as the clock ticked down to the 1:37 mark, firing a cannon from the point near â&#x20AC;&#x153;All around, the boards to the right of the Dresden goal. The shot beat Brett Brochu to the upper left corner after Prince it was a great took feeds from Mitch Krieger and David Cooke. effort by all.â&#x20AC;?

The second frame was a mostly evenly-matched affair, although the Sharks pieced together more scorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brett ing chances. Wheatley finally solved the power play dry spell during a five on three with an Alix Saliba Oliphant tally. Taking a Braedon Caetano shot that deflected off the end boards and back over the goal line, Saliba cashed in on being in the right place at the right time to tap the puck into the goal from its right side.

Dresden took its turn scoring a late goal on a play that started by winning a scrum along the boards for control of the puck. From between the hash marks, Darien Davis fired a shot that sailed just over Morinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right pad and into the net with 55 seconds of play remaining.

The final 20 minutes of regulation was another back and forth display where both netminders had to be sharp to keep the match deadlocked. TJ Saunby of the Kings and then Drew Denomey of the Sharks missed the net on penalty shots early and late in the period, respectively.

Wheatley again used its speed to create scoring chances that paid off with just over twoand-a-half minutes to go. Matt Taylor sent Saliba and Caetano away for a two on one rush to put the game-winning play in motion. Taking a pass from Saliba, Caetano wired a high wrist shot from inside the faceoff circle to the right of the Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net, cleanly beating Brochu for his fourth goal of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did everything that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been practicing,â&#x20AC;? explained Sharks assistant coach Brett Oliphant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to execute well and we had a full 60 minutes where everybody was doing his job, from the goalie up to our forwards. Our penalty kill was solid too. All around, it was a great effort by all.â&#x20AC;?

The next home game for the Sharks will be played Wednesday, Oct. 10 against the Essex 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The opening faceoff will take place at 7:30 p.m. Results from a Saturday, Oct. 6 game in Mooretown against the Flags were not available by the Thanksgiving holiday press deadline.

All bets are on Everyone seems to have his or her own distinct sense of humour.

Some are pretty deep and complex. At the other end of the spectrum, we have your basic “toilet humour,” which most of us embrace as youngsters. Some — but certainly not all — grow out of it. A couple months ago, my then sixyear-old son was flipping through my wife’s Grade 10 high school yearbook and noticed a photo of a student wearing one of those “b.u.m.” sweatshirts that was so popular in the ‘90s. He, well, laughed his bum off.

Personally, I consider my sense of humour to be somewhat of a Monte Python/Southpark/Ren and Stimpy hybrid.

Clever and witty at some times, offensive and blunt at others, often with a heavy dose of abnormal. My funny bone is rarely struck by network sitcoms, although sometimes someone will post a rather amusing comment or meme on Facebook.

My genuine “LOL” moments usually come courtesy of obscure cable television cartoons that normally air at around 2 a.m. or so. Last week, however, one of the funniest things I read in recent memory was provided by a story posted on the TSN website. Apparently, Bodog Sports — an online source for sports gambling — has selected the Toronto Maple Leafs as the team with the best odds of winning the 2018-’19 Stanley Cup. Now that you’ve rediscovered your place in this column after falling to the floor in a wild fit of hysterical laughter, let it be known that Bodog’s odds were posted just moments before the new NHL season began. At that time, they gave the Leafs seven-to-one odds of winning the Big Chromed Hotel Lobby Ashtray (i.e. the Stanley Cup). So yes, once again, some TML fans have started plotting their Cup parade route a teensy-weensy bit early.

In The Empire Strikes Back, C3-PO declared that the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field were 3,720 to one. I’m not exactly sure how you can come up with such a precise figure without first calculating said asteroid field’s density and/or the pilot’s skill level, but I’m not fluent in over six million forms of communication, so what do I know? Leia rudely interrupted before 3-PO could declare the odds of surviving a direct frontal assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer, but I’m sure they weren’t good either.

Regardless, Solo beat the odds on both occasions. With that in mind, maybe it’s not so absurd to imagine the Leafs winning the Cup for the first time since Canada celebrated the big 1-0-0. Okay, the NHL isn’t a work of science fiction, but that’s beside the point. Toronto stirred its fans into a frenzy of optimism when it picked up Tavares, who along with Matthews and a reasonable supporting cast, is expected to generate one lethal power play.

Still, for a team that hasn’t seen the second round of playoffs since before my only nephew was born (he’s in Grade 9 now) to suddenly become a Cup threat seems a bit farfetched. To put Bodog’s numbers into perspective, the Winnipeg Jets and Tampa Bay Lightning share second place in

the odds brackets at 17 to 1. Could you imagine an all CaBryan Jessop nadian Stanley Cup final? Gary Bettman would go berserk and the Great White North would fling itself into a hangover running well into September.

Yeah, yeah, I know — as ridiculous as the Cup slowly making its way along Bay Street in mid June might sound, the thought of the Habs snapping their 26-year funk is even more ludicrous. Bodog pegs the chances of THAT happening at an even 100 to one, the same as for the Vancouver Canucks. To round off the Canadian odds, the Oilers have been given 30 to 1, Calgary 33 to one and the Sens a rather generous 200 to 1.

If you’re wondering what the chances are of a Washington repeat, it’s 14 to 1 (eighth best among the league’s 31 squads). Perhaps even more shocking than Toronto being ranked at the very top of the heap is who’s been rated at the very bottom — Detroit. Bodog seems to think that Zetterberg’s departure leaves the Wings at 250 to 1 odds, which I find a little harsh. An even 10 players with the Motor City franchise scored as many or more goals than Zetterberg (11) last season, so although he’ll be missed, I don’t think the results of his absence will be catastrophic. Playoff contender?

Maybe not. Worse than Ottawa? Please… let’s be realistic here.

That’s the thing about “the odds” though — they’re a constantly moving target. Good trades, bad trades, injuries, hot streaks from underappreciated rookies, the changes in chemistry that come with line shuffling — it all has an impact.

In the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (Junior B), the Golden Horseshoe Conference’s Pelham Panthers have been a doormat for the past several seasons. They last finished above .500 in 2012-’13 as the Port Colborne Pirates, so it came as somewhat of a shock that they started this season with a 6-0-0-0 record. Perhaps it was easier to reel in the talent with a brand spanking new $36 million arena.

Don’t even get me started on the NFL. The Cleveland Browns were sneaking up on the second anniversary of their most recent win before suddenly going 1-1-1 to start 2018.

This is why I don’t usually gamble — the odds are often little more than inspiration for the underdogs to make everyone look dumb.

And hey, the Habs’ chances of absolute glory in June of next year? — 37.2 times better than making your way through an asteroid field.

For Women In the last 2 years I have totally turned my life around and gotten back to a healthy way of living. Something I totally neglected for almost the entire time I’ve been married and raising a family. In January I started working out at Push. And boy do those girls PUSH us to do things we may not have thought we could Do! I’m feeling stronger than I’ve felt in so long. Each day is a new beginning. Thank you.

Cougar football teams fall to Essex, Vista

By Bryan Jessop

The month of October did not start on a strong note for high school football in Leamington.

At Cardinal Carter, both the junior and senior teams lost their home openers while it was also announced that the Leamington District Secondary School’s senior team would cease operations for the remainder of the 2018 season due to an insufficient number of players. The junior Cougars lost their first of the season Tuesday, Oct. 2 at home in a 26-15 final against the Essex Red Raiders. Two days later, the seniors fell to 0-2 with a 38-6 loss at the hands of the visiting Tecumseh Vista Academy Vortex.

Flyers’ defense shoots down Stars dominated the first period, although the first 20 minutes ended with a modest one-goal lead for the home team. Leamington appeared to open the scoring less than four minutes into the game with an odd-man rush, but officials declared that the net had been knocked off its moorings before the puck crossed the line.

With just under four minutes to go, Preston Corp arrived at a rebound puck in the faceoff circle to the left of the net and after spinning 180 to face the net, snapped a low shot into the lower left side of the goal. Michael Andrews and Dylan Weston drew the assists.

In his first game as a Flyer, goalie Zach Borgiel had an uneventful first frame,

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON — The Leamington Flyers’ newest starting goalie started things off with a strong yet uneventful debut at Highbury Canco Arena.

Zach Borgiel of Fort Gratiot, Michigan, was officially welcomed by his new team with a solid showing of support from his defensive cohorts en route to a 3-1 win over the St. Thomas Stars.

Having played last season with the NAHL’s Brookings Blizzard, the fifth overall goalie selection of the 2016 OHL draft faced only three shots in the first period and five in the third to start his tenure in Leamington with a .947 save percentage.

having to stop only three shots while Kevin Linker faced 10 at the other end of the rink.

The St. Thomas attack was far more of a threat in the second, forcing the newcomer netminder to come up with some key saves to help preserve the lead. Jake Nimmo gave Leamington a 2-0 advantage after being set up by Griffin Robinson and Maddux Rychel, carrying the puck from the right side of the Stars’ net to the left and backhanding a shot past Linker to his right side.

The Stars got the goal

back about two-and-a-half minutes later when Nicholas Grandy snapped a waist high shot just inside the left post with traffic between himself and the goal. The Flyers had opportunities to again increase the goal differential, but fired shots wide of the net and struggled to gain possession of rebounds.

Leamington’s defense tightened up again in the third, allowing only five shots — most of which the Stars were forced to take from unfavourable posi-

tions. Just beyond the period’s midway point, Rob-

outward pass to Nimmo.

The Belle River native took advantage of a stretch of open space to approach the goal and fire a shot through an opening in its left side to notch his second of the evening and fourth of the season. Rychel drew the second assist.

“We’ve got good chemistry out there,” said Nimmo, who celebrated his 18th birthday the following day. “Each of us knows where the others are and when we get the chance, we crash the net or go for the shot.”

The Stars pulled Linker for the extra skater with just under three minutes to go, but couldn’t close the gap.

Leamington outshot the visitors 25-19 and thwarted all three St. Thomas power plays. The Flyers played the entire 60 minutes without any man advantage opportunities.

“I was getting tired of allowing three or four goals per game. It was a good win for us,” said Flyers head coach Cam Crowder.

The final score of a Saturday, Oct. 6 game for the Flyers in St. Thomas was not available by the Southpoint Sun’s holiday deadline.

(Continued from page 7) managed to recover its own kickoff.

The game remained scoreless until early in the second quarter, where Tecumseh started scoring with a safety before adding a 75 touchdown run to gain a 9-0 lead. A nine-yard dash into the end zone followed for the visitors, who also ran the ball for a major on the last play of the half.

Vista added another touchdown and a rouge in the third quarter before Cardinal Carter put itself on the board with a 28-yard touchdown pass caught by Matthew Saad in the end zone.

The Cougars recovered their own kick off after a missed PAT, but a pass on the first down play that followed was picked off at the TVA 35-yard line and ran in for another six points.

All five Tecumseh touchdowns were capped by successful PAT kicks.

“We’ve got a lot of Grade 11s, so we’re a young team,” Church noted. “Tecumseh’s got a good football team — they can tackle, run, pass and block. We’ve got to work on ball security. We threw right to them and fumbled a lot.”

For LDSS, the season started with a 58-0 loss in Blenheim. The team was forced to forfeit a Friday, Sept. 28 game at Tecumseh Vista Academy against the Vortex because of being unable to meet the minimum number of players required. A miscommunication led officials to believe that the following game between the Cougars and Riverside Rebels at TVA was also a forfeit, leading to the game’s postponement.

The next game for the senior Cougars will be played at home Friday, Oct. 12 at 3 p.m. against Blenheim. For the Cardinal Carter juniors, the next home game will take place Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. versus Belle River.

Teagan Handley recorded an amazing secondplace finish in the intermediate girls division at the Pronger Cross-Country Championships.

Handley, a Jack Miner Public School student, managed to finish strong in the 3k race.

KINGSVILLE – About 150 intermediate boys took on the challenge of the Kingsville Lakeside Park hills on Thursday morning, Oct. 4, in the Pronger Cross Country Championships. Nearly 900 youngsters, representing 23 county public schools, raced 1k, 2k or 3k, depending on their age, for a chance to advance to the District Championships being held Oct. 11, again in Kingsville. The top 20 finishers in the novice, junior and intermediate divisions advanced, as well as the top three teams in each age group.

MWCP celebrates Fiestas Patrias LEAMINGTON – The Migrant Worker Community Program hosted the annual Fiestas Patrias celebration on Sunday, September 16 in Leamington.

Ana Garzaro, a well know performer, welcomed the dignitaries, sponsors and the over 600 enthusiastic attendees to the annual Fiestas Patrias, a celebration of independence held by many countries in Latin America.

The celebration included performances from El Charrito and Latin Element Dance Band, and featured Latin music and a rope and lasso performance. The entertainment was very well received by the migrant workers and rest of the community.

Following the entertainment, the Canadian national anthem was sung by the Music Moves Kids choir, led by director Erin Armstrong Dickau. The Consuls from Guatemala, Allan Pérez, and Honduras, Tania Casco, welcomed the migrant workers and played the national anthems from each of their countries.

The civic ceremony closed with the traditional recreation of the El Grito de Dolores, the calling for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico performed by deputy consul Alejandro Noriega Valdez.

Kingsville’s The Grove Brew House wins provincial honours KINGSVILLE - The brewers of Ontario gathered at Berkeley Church in Toronto on Thursday, September 13 for the 2018 edition of the Ontario Brewing Awards to celebrate the best of the best in Ontario beer.

The evening highlighted beer from breweries across Ontario in over 40 categories. Submissions were evaluated by a team of Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) judges.

Kingsville’s The Grove Brew House received recognition in four categories: • Craft Lager - Silver medal, Paradise Lager; • Stout - Silver medal, Clubhouse Stout; • Oktoberfest/Märzen Bronze medal, 1933 Mar-

zen; • American Brown Ale Bronze medal, Workhouse Brown Ale. This is another outstanding accomplishment for this somewhat freshman brewery, which opened its doors in August 2017.

The new brewery also received national recognition at the Canadian Brewing Awards in May of 2018, medaling in two categories.

Cream Ale and North American Style Premium Lager receiving a Silver medal for their Westcott Cream Ale and a Bronze medal for their Paradise Lager.

The Canadian Brewing Awards is Canada’s national competition and a Canadian Brewing Award medal is a

widely recognized symbol of Canadian brewing excellence.

“It takes hard work by everyone to achieve that kind of success. Everyone has contributed in an important way. We don’t have to be afraid to say that we are among the best in Canada, which is great stuff for a new brewery in Kingsville, Ontario – wherever the heck that is,” said the smiling, Gordo Slater, Brewmaster for The Grove Brew House.

The Grove would like to extend recognition to its entire team, but particularly the small brew team of Donavan McFadden, Head Brewer, Gordo Slater, Brewmaster, and Matt Chapman, Brewer-In-Training.

The Grove Brew House is located at 12 Main Street East in Kingsville. The Grove can also be found on social media - Facebook and Instagram - @grovebrew.

Green Heart Lunch Club returns to Kingsville

By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE - As the father of three, Dennis Rogers knows the importance of healthy eating for his trio.

And as a Wayne State University graduate with a degree in business, he also knows the ins and outs of running a business.

Rogers has combined these passions to help bring healthy lunches to local children in several area schools.

So long to the old school traditional hot dog and pizza lunches, and so long to the headaches of wracking your brains trying to come up with some healthy options your child will actually eat when lunchtime arrives.

Parents can now breathe easy knowing their youngsters are enjoying a delicious, nutritious meal to help them get through a busy day at school.

Rogers, 38, is the owner of the Green Heart Lunch Club, and he’s proud to say that he is using locally grown produce, locally sourced meats, and foods containing no additives or preservatives when feeding area students.

He is passionate about his made-from-scratch product and its fresh, healthy arrival onto the students’ desks when the lunch bell sounds.

For Rogers, the foray began with his sister, a nutritionist, a few years ago. And he has since run with the idea.

It started slowly at first, providing his hot, healthy lunch program to a few schools and day cares in Windsor and Essex County.

But with the importance of healthy eating now in the forefront, Rogers’ business has exploded. And with the popularity of his meals and school lunch program now spread throughout Windsor and Essex County, Rogers is expanding his business, returning to his old stomping ground where he and wife Haley, head of marketing, have chosen to raise their own family.

Their new Kingsville location is expected to open in a couple of months, just around the corner from one of their ‘feeder’ schools Kingsville Public School.

Both graduates of the elementary school a few years back, Rogers is now proud to be serving the youngsters

nutritious meals in the same classrooms where he once studied in.

Rogers said his program offers parents a break from making a lunch, while giving them peace of mind knowing their youngsters will be eating well at lunchtime – and all at an affordable price.

He said he currently serves 20 schools and 8 day cares, including his alma mater, as well as Jack Miner Public School, Queen Elizabeth Public School and Essex Public School.

With the program once again beginning in schools this week, Rogers said parents are able to go online and choose their youngsters’ meal based on their likes and dislikes.

The meals are offered from one to three days a week, depending on the school, and the menu varies to include such favourites as pasta, chicken soup, tacos, and macaroni and cheese.

His children, he said, serve as his taste testers when it comes to new recipes. If nothing else, Rogers said he can depend on their honesty when testing a possible new addition to his daily menus.

Dennis Rogers in his new Kingsville digs for the Green Heart Lunch Club. Located at 28 Main St. W., Kingsville, the new home includes a commercial kitchen and retail space.

And their honesty is apparently paying off. The response, he said, has been amazing. He credits this to the fact he makes everything from scratch daily, using high quality ingredients.

While affordable for most families at $6.25 per meal, Rogers is aware there are students who sometimes go without at lunchtime. He has come up with a way to help

ensure these youngsters also get a chance at a healthy lunch with the ‘feed it forward’ program.

He said parents, organizations and businesses can sponsor a lunch for a deserving student who may otherwise go without.

The program, he said, proved extremely successful last year, with the Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance

providing 1,500 lunches to deserving students, chosen by administration based on need.

“We want to make a difference,” said Rogers.

Eventually, Rogers said they would like to make it into schools such as Leamington District Secondary School that don’t have school cafeterias.

Southpoint Sun - B-15

Bob Howard posing with pride alongside his 1940 GMC street rod.

Awesome 1940 GMC Pickup Among the 700-plus vehicles at Amherstburg’s Car Crazy Car Show on Sunday, July 29 was an awesome 1940 GMC pickup with a stance so low you know this truck means business. It’s owned by Bob and Cecile Howard of Amherstburg.

It was built in Pontiac, Michigan, with a 6-cylinder engine 78 years ago. Now it has a 327 Chev V8, headers, dual exhausts, automatic floor shift and a 10-bolt Chev rear end.

Bob’s first car was an original Model A coupe bought in Windsor in the mid-’50s when he was Bill Sherk still a teenager. He worked at a gas station at Victoria and Wyandotte when a young guy came in with a hot-rodded ’32 Ford coupe that wouldn’t start. Bob slid behind the wheel, the car was given a push, Bob popped the clutch and that car fired right up! Bob couldn’t afford to buy it and never saw it again, but that’s the car that got him hooked on hot rods.

Later on, he had a green ’53 Ford automatic 2-door hardtop which he traded for a ’74 Lincoln with a chopped top. It was lowered and with skirts.

He also had a chopped ’37 Ford 4-door street rod that won a trophy at the Autorama Custom Car Show in Detroit. Bob bought it as a frame and motor and shell and did the

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

Southpoint Sun goes to Milwaukee The Dunford family of Leamington recently went on their 7th annual Tiger baseball trip. This year was to Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to watch the Tigers play the Brewers. From left to right are Dunford family members Mark, Heather, Cheryle, Warren and Todd.

work himself. It was burgundy when Bob sold it. It’s now black and owned by Bill Alfred in Harrow.

In 2017 Bob was driving a 1931 Model A Ford rat rod when he decided he was getting too old for the old car hobby. He was born June 1, 1939 (and Cecile was born June 1, 1941).

He sold the Model A at the big Old Autos Car Show in Bothwell last August, figuring that was the end of his ownership of hot rods.

But then he saw the street-rodded 1940 GMC pickup last March, all finished off with power windows and genuine cowhide upholstery. He bought it and has never looked back.

Their son Michael Howard of Windsor is currently rebuilding a 1957 Oldsmobile 4-door hardtop with three rear windows. Another story for another day. Stay tuned!
