After months of campaigning, Hilda MacDonald was rewarded Monday night, October 22 with resounding support from Leamington voters.

Of the 7,207 votes cast for Leamington’s mayor position, MacDonald nearly doubled incumbent mayor John Paterson with 4,341 votes, compared to Paterson’s 2,533.

Third candidate Bruce Medcalf garnered 333 votes. “I’m pleased. A solid victory makes you realize you’ve done the right thing. I had so much support; such incredible support from this community,� said MacDonald from her campaign office at 13 Russell on Monday night after learning of her commanding victory.

MacDonald is already focused on where to begin as the municipality’s new leader. “Raising the standard in the core. We have to help our downtown core,� she said. “I want to sit down with growers and builders and fix the housing problem. We need to sit at the table and say this is what’s going on, how can we work together? We need to facilitate more with greenhouse owners,� she stated.

As mentioned during the campaign, MacDonald wants to keep ironing out the business licensing to make sense for everyone. “I’m looking forward to working with this new (Continued on Page A-3)

LEAMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Double cones helped contribute to double the proceeds for a local charitable cause.

For the second consecutive year, Sweet Retreat at 7 Nelson Street wrapped up its 2018 business season with an inventory-emptying fundraiser in support of Leamingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salvation Army. On Sunday, Oct. 14, the sale of all items except pop and cakes were donated directly to the local branch of the Salvation Army, which in turn directed the funds to stocking the food bank that operates its Community Family Service program. This year, sales and donations from the Sweet Retreat event raised $1,010.55 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice the roughly $500 amount that was collected in the inaugural version of the same event in 2017.

Although Sunday, Oct. 7 was officially the final day of business in 2018 for the local ice cream shop, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors opened again from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. one week later to deplete the last of its supplies while at the same time supporting the local SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food bank. Sweet Retreat owners Pat and Bob Vance were careful to pick a date this year that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conflict with other community events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turnout was a little disappointing,â&#x20AC;? explained Pat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were people lined up to the road at 10, so â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided it it was a much better start,â&#x20AC;? explained Bob 30 minwould be appropriate utes into the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we tried to find a day when there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too much going on, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s makto give back, ing a difference.â&#x20AC;? especially during a The Vances opened Sweet Retreat in June of 2014 time of year when the after moving to Leamington from Tecumseh. Origineed is so high.â&#x20AC;? nally from Thunder Bay and Amherstburg respecâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pat Vance tively, Pat and Bob decided to purchase the site from Norman Clare and do a complete gutting and renovation for their new business. They made arrangements to seat customers both indoors and out, with the back yard transformed into an eating area with ample coverage from shade trees.

In the three years leading up to 2017, both Pat and Bob felt that it was wasteful to simply throw out the remains of their inventory when it came time to close for the colder half of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to get rid of all our stock to start the next year off with everything fresh,â&#x20AC;?

Pat said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve opened, Leamington has been so good to us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; customers, the municipality, the BIA. We decided it would be appropriate to give back, especially during a time of year when the need is so high.â&#x20AC;?

For the four-hour finale, Leamington Salvation Army co-captains Brad and Wavie Webster operated the debit machine and cash register while the Vances scooped and delivered orders. Sweet Retreat will officially re-open for 2019 on May 1.

Hilda MacDonald is Leamington’s mayor-elect (Continued from Front) council. I’m just excited for all the things that can be,” she said.

“She worked harder than anyone else, I think, and she asked for help to get the job done,” said MacDonald’s 10-year-old grandson Max Wilkinson who helped his grandma celebrate along with her three other grandchildren.

A disheartened John Paterson reflected on his past eight years of leadership for Leamington. “I’m disappointed,” he stated with a long pause. “I led for eight very strong years through some of the toughest times Leamington has seen,” he added. Paterson recounted past accomplishments on his mayoral resume which included leading Leamington through the Heinz closing and the opening of Highbury Canco; $80 million hydro project; $30 million natural gas line; raising new investment from $40 million a year to $160 million a year; and the waterfront development and amphitheatre. “There’s been so much,” he said.

Paterson was first elected in 2010 and served two fouryear terms as mayor. MacDonald has served the past four years as deputy-mayor. “Thank you to everyone who supported me. To council members who supported me and good luck to the new council,” said Paterson.

Verbeke wins deputy-mayor Current Leamington councillor Larry Verbeke enjoyed a comfortable win for the deputy-mayor’s seat with 5,081 votes compared to his sole competitor businessman Dharmesh Patel who had 1,793 votes.

“It’s time to put the action plan to work. The first thing is probably the long overdue Official Plan and reviewing our by-laws,” said Verbeke. “We have to help with the downtown core,” he added.

Patel was happy with his results as a first-time candidate.

“Congratulations to Larry and know that as a taxpayer I’ll be holding him accountable,” he said. Patel worries that Leamington is being left behind compared to communities like Kingsville and Amherstburg who have been creating tourist destinations.

The new council will be sworn in and take effect on Monday, December 3.

Leamington councillors ready to get started

By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – Leamington voters elected four incumbents and one new councilor on Monday, October 22.

Bill Dunn topped the polls with 3,891 votes with newcomer Paul Tiessen in a close second place with 3,831 votes.

“I’m in awe and humbled. We have a great community.

We have been achieving great things and we have to keep moving forward,” said Dunn. A Neighbourhood Watch program that would see citizens and community members helping police and working together to clean up the downtown is one idea Dunn plans to investigate.

“We need infrastructure; we need to clean up the uptown.

We have to give migrant workers a place to go,” said Tiessen of his vision. “First on the agenda is the budget. I’m

absolutely looking forward to it,” he said.

John Hammond finished in third spot with 3,780 votes.

“Thanks to all my supporters. I’m looking forward to the next four years,” said Hammond.

Tim Wilkinson garnered 3,766 votes to reclaim his seat at the council table. “I think we have a fantastic bunch to work with. I’m happy with the results. We’re prepared to get started,” said Wilkinson.

Veteran councilor John Jacobs won the fifth and final council seat with 2,992 votes. “I’m happy I got back in.

I’m looking forward to working with the new mayor and deputy-mayor. I hope our progress continues,” said Jacobs.

Baseball and Leamington go a long way back With the World Series underway, the Dodgers-Red Sox matchup features two historic teams, so baseball purists (like me) have to be happy about that.

It got me wondering if the Dodgers and Red Sox had ever met in a World Series, so I looked it up.

The list of World Series winners is long and full of Mark Ribble reference to both teams involved in this year’s series, but it didn’t take me long to scan the list for this matchup.

Since the Curse of the Bambino kept Boston from winning the fall classic from 1918 until 2004, I really only had to scan the list of winners for the Dodgers, both the L.A. version and the Brooklyn version and then compare the runners-up, looking for the Sox. Since its inception, the Red Sox have won the Series six times, with three of those championships coming in the past 15 years.

The Dodgers won once as Brooklyn, then four more times out of Los Angeles.

Their last championship in 1988 featured former Tiger Kirk Gibson’s heroic homerun in the bottom of the ninth

RIB’S RAMBLINGS

with two out in Game 1.

I haven’t watched any of the playoffs this year, with my two teams (Tigers and Blue Jays) being out of contention mid summer. My interest in watching the usual suspects vie for the title has waned in recent years.

The Yankees didn’t get to the World Series, and to me that’s a bonus. Never liked the Yankees and never will, although the old Murderer’s Row era gets my nod as one of the greatest.

And if someone were to put me on the spot and ask who my favourite player of all time would be, Babe Ruth gets my vote, mainly because Bill Kennedy at the Movies played The Babe Ruth Story over and over again when I was a kid.

I grew up thinking that William Bendix was actually Babe Ruth and didn’t realize until I was an adult that he was just an actor playing the Bambino in the movie.

Later, John Goodman took on the role of Ruth in the 1992 version, The Babe.

Now, let’s not confuse The Babe with Babe, the talking pig movie, which came out three years later and confused a whole lot of baseball move fans.

While it was cute and cuddly, Babe the pig did not compare to Babe the ball player.

When I visited the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame a couple of summers ago in St. Marys, Ontario, I was able to pick up a replica of one of Babe Ruth’s bats, all 40+ ounces

of it and give it a swing.

Ruth’s first professional home run occurred at Hanlan’s Point in Toronto in 1914, when he played for the Providence Grays of the International League. They were a farm team of the Boston Red Sox at the time. Ruth was a standout pitcher in those days, shutting out the Toronto Maple Leafs 9-0, as well as hitting his first homer. A poster depicting that homerun is at the Canadian Hall. If you’re a baseball fan and haven’t yet visited the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, I would encourage you to do so.

They have a lot of very interesting stuff there, including an old photo I found hanging on the wall of the Chatham Peewee baseball team from 1973. They were Canadian champs that year, and for their championship run they picked up a standout pitcher from Brantford named Wayne Gretzky. The team also had a former Leamington baseball standout by the name of Paul Arrowsmith in the photo.

So it all comes back to Leamington and area full circle, somehow.

A few years ago, I wrote a story about Floyd Hillman, who was poised to become this area’s big baseball superstar before his untimely death during the 1927 Ontario Junior baseball finals. At the time I wrote the article, his younger brother Nelson was still alive and provided me with many anecdotes from those days when baseball was the main (Continued on page 5)

Halloween dog bite prevention tips

By Sarah Fotheringham, Leading the Pack Canine Services

KINGSVILLE - Changes in routine and the strange sights and sounds associated with Halloween can cause stress in a normally placid family dog.

Keep dogs out of the fray by securing them away from the door and providing a long-lasting chew treat. Halloween is lots of fun for kids, but many dogs will be confused or upset by kids in strange costumes and by lots of people coming to the door, but never being invited in. Doggone Safe (www. doggonesafe.com) and Leading the Pack Canine Services offer the following tips for dog owners, kids and parents: Dog owners: 1. Secure your dog behind a closed door or in a crate in a room away from the front door or the party if children are meeting at your house.

2. Give him a juicy bone from the butcher, a sterilized bone or Kong stuffed with hotdog, Rollover or other soft dog treats or a pre-stuffed bone from the pet store.

3. Play music or leave a TV or radio playing in the dog’s

Editor

Sheila McBrayne

room to help mask the sounds of the activity at the front door.

4. Close drapes so that the dog does not see people coming and going through the window.

5. If you have a dog that barks at the sound of the doorbell, disconnect it or watch for trick-or-treaters so that they do not have to ring or knock.

6. Keep your dogs (and cats) indoors around Halloween time. Pets have been stolen, injured or poisoned as part of Halloween pranks or other rituals.

Kids and Parents: 1. Avoid houses if you can hear a dog barking behind the door, you can see a dog behind a screen door or you see a dog tied up in the yard or barking behind a fence.

2. Never approach any dog, even if you know him. He may not recognize you in your costume.

3. If an owner opens the door and there is a dog there, just stay still and wait for the dog owner to put the dog away. Do not move toward the person and dog. Wait for them to come to you to give you your candy. Wait for them to close the door before you turn and leave.

4. If a dog escapes just stand still and Be a Tree (hands

folded in front, watching your feet).

He will just sniff you and then move on. Wait for the owner to come and get the dog before you turn away.

5. It is best to ignore other people’s dogs on Halloween if you meet them out walking.

The dog may be worried about all the strange creatures that are out and about. Even if you know the dog, he may not recognize you in your costume.

Baseball and Leamington go a long way back (Continued from page 4) sport played in North America.

Nelson was a youngster when his older brother Floyd had to withdraw from the Ontario finals after throwing a complete game victory in game one of the best-of-three series. Floyd acquired an infection that eventually took his life just as the series ended. He died at home, taking his last breath just as his teammates took their final swing in the series at Niagara Falls, losing in three games. His younger brother Art was called upon to pitch in his brother’s absence, at a mere 14 years of age.

Floyd’s funeral was attended by thousands and his friend Jack Miner gave the eulogy. His gravestone is still very prominent near the back of Lakeview Cemetery.

Art Hillman eventually moved to Kirkland Lake to find work and two of his hockey playing sons were born there, Wayne and Larry. Both of them would forever be tied to Leamington through the family.

The oldest of Art Hillman’s boys, Floyd ‘Bud’ Hillman, was born here before the family moved north and spent time playing for the Boston Bruins in the 1950s.

Bud still calls this area his home today.

So the world comes full circle and back to Leamington, but jumps over to hockey through a baseball family.

When I speak of baseball or hockey purists, these are the type of stories that interest me most.

Local horse racing industry wants fair deal with OLG

By Pat Bailey

The future of harness racing in Essex County is at stake, according to Lakeshore Horse Racing Association (LHRA) representatives.

At a special press conference at a Woodslee horse farm last Thursday, Oct. 18, Tom Bain, Essex County Warden and member of the association, said they aren’t looking for a special deal, they just want a fair deal.

“We just want what other tracks are getting,” said Bain.

He said they have been trying to negotiate a new deal with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission (OLG) but have been unsuccessful in their bid so far.

Bain said about 2,000 jobs are at stake if they don’t get a deal with the OLG, as well as the economic spin-off lo-

cal businesses enjoy on race days.

Bain, joined by Ken Lewenza, former president of CAW Local 444, and Mark Williams, president of the LHRA, said tracks closer to Toronto have secured more lucrative deals and that the new government has failed to follow through on its promise to help the horse racing industry in southwestern Ontario.

Bain also blamed a lack of representation on the Woodbine Entertainment Group board as part of the problem.

“Through hard work and buoyed by a promise by the newly elected government that ‘help was on the way’,” said a press release from the LHRA, “the LHRA has operated horse racing at the Leamington Fairgrounds and has been able to maintain a critical agricultural industry in Essex County.”

The group said the live betting in Leamington has been extremely successful but said they are disheartened by the discrepancies in the amount of the purse for each race.

Bain said those tracks closer to Toronto are nearly double those the local track is able to offer.

With 13 race dates available, Bain said the daily purse is $35,000 split over 10 races. At racetracks in other areas the purse is at least $65,000.

Despite the much lower purse, Bain said the live wagering at the Lakeshore track ranks among the highest in the province, which he said proves there is community support for the horse racing industry in Essex County.

“Are they trying to shut us down?” questioned Bain.

“At this time we have not received an offer from

the OLG that will sustain the racing industry in Essex County,” said the LHRA press release. “So therefore we will continue to pursue an equitable agreement in

Leamington celebrates Cannabis Act Aphria throws parking lot parking at Jose’s

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – As Canada officially loosened legislation on the purchasing and usage of marijuana, Leamington is stepping forward as a leader in the relatively new industry.

Jose’s Bar and Grill on Talbot Street West marked the arrival of the federal government’s Cannabis Act with an outdoor, public legalization celebration Wednesday, Oct. 17 — the day the act took effect, making closely legislated purchase, use and possession of marijuana legal in all provinces and territories.

The event drew hundreds of guests, who gathered in the restaurant’s parking lot to enjoy a free lunch while perusing cannabis information displays and listening to live musical performances. One of the displays was arranged by Solei, a cannabis production company whose brands are grown in Leamington.

The celebration was hosted by Aphria, a Leamington-based company that has produced and sold medical marijuana products since launching from a half-acre site owned by CF Group about five years ago.

As of the introduction of the Cannabis Act, Aphria was one of 125 federallylicensed producers located in Canada. In Ontario, retailers must produce their products on-site. Aphria’s five brands can be bought through the governmentregulated Ontario Cannabis Store website, www.OCS. ca. Like alcohol and tobacco, individuals possessing and using cannabis products in Ontario must be a minimum of 19 years of age.

More information on the legal parameters of cannabis in Ontario can be found on the website www.ontario.ca/ Cannabis.

The October 17 event at Jose’s welcomed cannabis users and non-users alike, with a large crowd gathered in front of the outdoor stage to hear welcoming words from Aphria CEO Vic Neufeld, who co-founded the company along with Cole Cacciavillani and John Cervini.

“We are absolutely knocking it out of the park when it comes to products on shelf in many provinces,” Neufeld said. “It’s a lot of hard work and a lot of effort, but we are very, very proud of the Aphria team. I now know what it felt like back in 1933 the day prohibition ended. I can’t tell you how excited I am.”

Later, Neufeld explained that Aphria’s business footprint has set out well beyond Leamington. Previously, the company hosted a launch party for all five of its brands in Toronto and since producing medicinal marijuana, has expanded operations into a sum of 10 countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Portugal. Plans are also in the works to send a team to South American locations in Brazil and Argentina.

“Leamington is being acknowledged as a centre of excellence.

We’re all proud of its status as the Tomato Capital of Canada, but the Cannabis Capital of Canada wouldn’t be a bad moniker either.”

— Vic Neufeld

“This is a business — we have to have a big vision,” Neufeld explained. “We can’t be afraid of the risks.

The newest expansion is a global one. All the world is watching Canada on this.”

Neufeld was born and raised in Leamington, where he lived on a peach farm.

He noted that the process of navigating government legislation to bring Aphria to the point where it could operate on a viable business model was a lengthy one.

“It’s been a hell of a ride, a hell of a journey — four-and-a-half years have flown by,” Neufeld said while thanking the crowd of guests for their support over the years.

Although the company has expanded significantly since starting operations in 2014, the company’s CEO explained that a great deal of work still lies ahead.

“There have been a lot of learning curves,” Neufeld said. “We’ve surrounded ourselves with leaders who have a vision and who can execute. The journey has just begun. This allows an introduction of other product categories, so we’re working on technologies and product innovation.

There’s still a lot of heavy lifting to do — stakeholders’ expectations are based on what we deliver tomorrow.”

Currently, Aprhia’s local sites occupy 3 million square feet of land — 2.5 million in greenhouses and another 500,000 square feet of infrastructure between its “No. 1” and “Diamond” locations.

“Leamington has it all,” Neufeld stated. “I think we’ll put Leamington on

the map on a global basis.

We’re very fortunate to have the infrastructure here to let Aprhia do what it does — we should all be very proud. Leamington is being acknowledged as a centre of excellence. We’re all proud of its status as the Tomato Capital of Canada, but the Cannabis Capital of Canada wouldn’t be a bad moniker either.”

Since federal legalization of cannabis was introduced, the local company began focusing its efforts on studying the dynamic of demand for its brands. Noting that quality control for recreation strains is the same as it is for medicinal varieties, Neufeld explained that genetics will vary somewhat, as recreational users typically prefer a higher content of tetra hydro carbons — THC — than medicinal buyers.

Aphria brands range from products ideal for novice users now that they’ve been legalized to enthusiasts who have used them for years.

A new documentary web series follows the lives of three farm families in Ontario and Saskatchewan, including the Renwick family of Renwick Ridgeview Acres in Wheatley.

(CNW Group/CropLife Canada)

New documentary shines light on modern farming challenges faced by three Canadian farm families Wheatley family featured in web series WHEATLEY – Beginning tonight, October 24, Real Farm Lives, a documentary web series will give Canadians an entertaining and informative glimpse into the daily lives of real farm families from Ontario and Saskatchewan as they work to get food from their farms to our forks.

The six episodes, released weekly throughout October and November on realfarmlives. ca will help Canadians better understand the complexities of modern farming in the face of climate change, population growth and evolving consumption habits.

The families cast in Real Farm Lives personify 21st century farming. Their actions, conversations, and emotions in the series are as honest and authentic as their labour.

The series includes the Renwick family of Renwick Ridgeview Acres in Wheatley. The family has been proudly farming for 200 years. Chris and Rachel Renwick grow soybeans and corn, while their young children learn the business by growing pumpkins, zucchinis and flowers, and selling produce at the roadside.

“Farming is in our blood,” said Chris Renwick. “My family has farmed this land for seven generations, and we’re proud to be passing that wisdom on to our children and to be sharing our lives with Canadians from coast to coast.”

The series also features the Englot family of Costa Lotta Farms in Montmartre, Saskatchewan, and the Ardiel family of Apple Springs Orchards in Clarksburg, Ontario.

The series delves into the families’ trials and tribulations, including how weather, insects, weeds and diseases have the potential to impact their crops and livelihoods. With each episode addressing a different aspect of harvest preparations, viewers discover the role plant science plays in protecting the farmers’ crops and the food we eat.

But it’s not all work and no play – the episodes also encompass the fun moments and family dynamics that happen in an ordinary day.

New gym coming to Wheatley

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY — Based on the understanding that 30 minutes of a workout shouldn’t be spent getting to and from the gym, a new facility is coming to the Freshwater Fishing Capital.

Proactive Health and Fitness will officially be opening at 108 Talbot St. East in Wheatley on Monday, Oct. 29. The new gym is owned by founder John Friesen and will open the doors to its 8,000-plus sq. ft. facility across from Bowman Feed and Supply.

Friesen has been planning to open a gym in Wheatley for about the past 15 years and when a friend purchased a suitable building and offered to host just such a business, the 40-year-old fitness enthusiast jumped at the chance.

“I’m really excited about it,” Friesen explained. “This has always been a dream of mine, but this year it’s becoming a dream come true. To turn something most people consider a hobby into a career — I love it. It’s an opportunity that most people never have.”

The wheels to Friesen’s plans were put in motion shortly after his friend purchased the building where the gym is being set up.

Previously, the site had

served as a lumber mill, an auto body shop where race cars were built, a furniture store and a fabric and variety store before it was purchased in April of this year.

Friesen has been actively working on making his ambitions a reality since then, a process that has included renovations that were completed in June. He noted that the modification process has experienced a few delays, as upgrades that required licensed contractors were delayed because of their commitments to the local greenhouse industry.

Presently, Friesen is in the process of bringing equipment into Proactive Health and Fitness, filling the business with a combination of used equipment from a gym that closed in Tilbury and other items from two gyms that merged in Chatham. New equipment is also being purchased for the Wheatley locale from Fitness Depot in London.

Some of the machines include treadmills, ellipticals and spin bikes for the cardio room at the building’s front and typical features for the weight room including four squat racks and the crossfit/ group training room.

Although the new gym doesn’t open until October 29, a few of the classes that will be available are already under way. Membership options including one, three, six and 12-month plans for

various rates ranging from basic to all-inclusive access. Friesen hopes to see membership reach the 200 mark early in the new year and will purchase additional equipment when demand increases accordingly.

Wheatley Area P.S. Conducts Mock Election Mrs. Hopper’s grade 4/5 students conducted a Mock Municipal Election for the students of Wheatley Area Public School. Through this Mock Election, the grade 4/5 students learned about the three levels of government and focused on how a municipal election runs and what is involved in running as a candidate for your municipality. As part of the Mock Election, these students ran for Mayoral and Councillor positions. They all shared platform speeches with fellow classmates and grades 1-8 students and staff. They had campaign teams that helped design information cards and posters which were displayed throughout the school.

The students set up and ran the polling stations on October 22 where all the students from grades 1-8 voted for their electoral candidates from Chatham-Kent, as well as the student candidates from their school.

Candidates Meeting at Half Century Centre The Leamington Half Century Centre hosted an All Candidates Meeting on October 16. The town-style meeting drew a crowd of over 100. As many seniors do not drive after dusk, the afternoon venue proved popular. Each candidate was given an opportunity to speak for two minutes, and citizens then had a chance to direct questions to certain or all candidates.

Those running for Council spoke as a group first and answered questions, followed by candidates for Mayor and Deputy-Mayor. From left to right are: Darmesh Patel, candidate for Deputy-Mayor; Hilda MacDonald, Mayoral candidate; Larry Verbeke, candidate for DeputyMayor; John Paterson, Mayoral candidate.

WHEATLEY – On Sunday, October 14, Rev Kim Gilliland led the congregation of Wheatley United Church in a special baptism worship service where new members were welcomed to the Christian community. The symbolic water of baptism is a reminder of the new life found in God within the church family. There is much to be gained when worshipping God together as family. One way is the opportunity to serve – not only do congregants receive support in the church, they give it as well.

The Prayer Shawl Group is part of the Wheatley United family. This outreach ministry group last met on Oct. 18 and has been knitting and crocheting prayer shawls since March 2014. To-date the group has given 394 shawls to individuals in the community at times of loss or illness, or at times of celebration and joy, such as last Sunday when two beautiful shawls were given to the newly baptized members. Julie received a beautiful shawl of rich purple hues, and for Max, the youngest new member, a shawl in shades of blue was given. This month, Bonnie Dawson surprised the Prayer Shawl Group with a beautiful handcrafted and framed needlepoint artwork piece to display in the Friendship Room. Creating and sharing the fruits of their labour is what this group does well. If you enjoy crocheting or knitting and would like to be part of this ministry, call Cheryl for further information at 519-825-9194.

Council meets Thursday, Oct. 25 at 3:00 p.m. This is a good opportunity for those wishing to support the United Church Essex Presbytery’s campaign for the Windsor Youth Centre to bring their donations to the meeting to give to Al for delivery at the next Presbytery meeting. They are seeking items to fill backpacks for youth, i.e. personal items such as hygiene products, razors, deodorants, toothpaste and toothbrushes, wash cloths, socks and $5 gift cards to quick service restaurants.

There are still some Operation Christmas Child boxes available in the foyer. Don’t forget to pick one up. National collection week is Nov. 12-18.

On Oct. 28 the ushers will be Katie Richmond and Joan Wright.

Mark your calendars: The next Suppertime Community Meal is scheduled for Nov. 8.

Precautionary measures are taken for people who live within the 80-kilometre Secondary Zone of any nuclear facility, even though an accident and discharge of radiation is unlikely. The Fermi 2 nuclear facility is in Monroe, Michigan and its Secondary Zone encompasses a large part of Windsor and Essex County as well as a small area along the west edge of ChathamKent that includes the communities of Wheatley, Tilbury and Lighthouse Cove.

A program to provide medication to Windsor and Essex County residents in the Secondary Zone was announced on October 15. The CKPHU is working with the Ontario Government Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care to develop and

Make knowledge a high priority Last Wednesday, as marijuana became legal in Canada, I found myself flying high above the clouds between Lauderdale and Little Whale Cay. Mark stayed in Wheatley for an additional week and managed to find ice time daily, topping off his stay with a weekShannon end tournament.

Matheson The thought of returning to the cay alone is intimidating, yet exciting at the same time. Arthur and Engine warmly welcomed me home and then we all jumped in to unloading the perishables from the plane. In

LIFESTYLES

fly back with me from Lauderdale and give a much-needed hand after Hurricane Matthew devastated the Berry Islands.

Luckily, unlike that time, I was able to land directly on Little Whale instead of hopping on a neighbour’s barge with all of our provisions. I’ll never get used to the fact that I am delivered onto a small runway less than 200 feet from my house!

Many of my columns are very ‘thought’ full. While taking my 300th flight or standing in the middle of a 93-acre cay in the midst of Bahamas, I have lots of time to think.

Last Saturday, while Arthur dropped Engine off on another cay so that he could catch a boat ride home to Andros, I was left completely alone. The fact that Arthur left me alone meant he knew I would be fine and that left me feeling confident. Even so, the first thing I did was let the animals out of the cages. Not sure how chickens and tortoises were going to help in a pirate invasion, but sub* FOR consciously I was free and thought they should be too.

SECC helping clients remain independent October is Community Support Month

Gerry Parent’s 1941 Dodge coupe.

1941 Dodge Luxury Liner coupe like new At a recent car show at the Essex Railway Station in Essex, Gerry Parent of Windsor proudly displayed his all-original 1941 Dodge Luxury Liner 3-passenger business coupe with a Windsor factory list price when new of $1,357.

Gerry found the car for sale in Ancaster, Ontario, about four years ago. He had never owned a coupe and decided it was time to get one. He rebuilt the lower end of the flathead 6-cylinder engine, which has 217.8 cubic inches and 91 horsepower.

No other work was required on the car and Gerry has enjoyed driving it to car shows and cruise nights.

The gleaming black finish on the car dates back Bill Sherk at least 35-40 years and its excellent condition is living proof of the first-rate care this car has received from previous owners.

The black finish harmonizes nicely with the red wheel rims, wide whitewalls, and beauty rings that surround the sparkling chrome hub caps.

On a recent visit to a swap meet at Heritage Village a few miles west of Kingsville, Gerry purchased an outdoor sun visor for his ’41 Dodge, a popular accessory in days gone by when lots of cars had them.

Note also the pair of fog lights up front and the radio aerial mounted on the side of the cowl. The original equipment radio in the dash works, and the original heater does as well.

Other features include independently sprung front wheels, safety glass throughout and handy-control gearshift on the steering column.

Gerry was born on May 15, 1946. His first car was a dark brown 1951 Meteor 4-door sedan built in Windsor and bought for $15 in running condition when he was a teenager living in Windsor. He doesn’t know who the first owner was but he does know the last owner because it went to the scrapyard when he was finished with it.

His current project is a 1932 Ford pickup hot rod with a small block Ford V8 with 302 cubic inches and C4 transmission. This truck has been known locally as far back as 1970. The work is now 80% finished and I look forward to featuring it in my “Old Car Detective” column.

Stay tuned!

I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE

LEAMINGTON - In Leamington and the surrounding area, South Essex Community Council (SECC) has been serving the community for 45 years. SECC continues to help clients by providing a variety of affordable community support programs and services and this helps to end hallway medicine because it supports people to remain healthy at home and stay active and engaged in their community.

SECC is only one of hundreds of other not-for-profit community support agencies that provide a wide variety of services to help a million Ontarians to live independently in their own homes each year. There is a need to increase these services to meet the current demands, with wait lists and the growing demand for services.

Mark Wybenga, Department Coordinator for SECC’s Community Services says, “Last year SECC helped contribute towards independent living by: • Supporting 37 individuals living with Alzheimer’s Disease, a related dementia or other chronic health conditions with 1,510 visits to our Adult Day Program; • Providing 7,484 rides to 572 seniors and persons with disabilities to go to medical appointments, shopping, volunteer, or visit with family and friends; • Providing 3,153 foot care treatments to a total of 684 seniors and persons with disabilities or other chronic health conditions including diabetes; • Matching 116 clients with local and thoroughly screened service providers who provided 2,777 hours of home maintenance and repair services; • Delivering 11,724 meals on wheels to 193 clients in need of nutritional supports; and • Providing 5,043 telephone reassurance calls and in-person visits to 56 vulnerable persons.”

Clients prefer to live in their own homes and communities, and supporting them to do so reduces costs to other parts of the health care system. Not-for-profit agencies also re-invest surplus funds into providing more and better care, ensuring funding stays in the community and that service quality is never compromised in order to increase profits.

“One key and well known program that SECC has been involved with delivering for almost its entire existence is Meals on Wheels,” said Wybenga. Meals on Wheels helps clients to meet their dietary and nutritional needs by providing a hot meal up to five days per week.

“Our meals are prepared locally by Green Heart Catering in Kingsville who focuses on healthy, tasty and affordable meal solutions using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible,” explained Wybenga.

The meals are delivered to clients by a network of volunteers to Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley.

For more information on how SECC’s community support services can help you or a loved one to remain independent at home or after a hospital stay please call SECC at 519 326-8629 or email info@secc.on.ca

We’re excited to introduce a NEW feature called

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.

Friendship Club guest speaker explains important role of Community Navigators

By Bonnie Dawson

WHEATLEY – Harvest time and Halloween were well represented in the décor at the Wheatley Friendship Club with scarecrows, pumpkins, witches, a cornucopia, colourful fall flowers, leaves and orange table runners, etc., brightening up the meeting hall.

The Wheatley & District Friendship Club meeting on Oct. 17 began as usual with the singing of O Canada with Doreen Armstrong on piano. President Harold Dundas then gave the blessing. Thanks to Marlene Wilkins and Tammy Krawchuk who organized lunch.

Both 50/50 draws were won

by Tammy Krawchuk.

Guest speaker Cathy Young is a Community Navigator with the Chatham-Kent Public Library System. There are three navigators who serve at all 11 branches in ChathamKent. Cathy comes to the Wheatley library branch once a month, usually on Wednesdays, but people can book an appointment with her for a different time.

The Community Navigators are set up to help connect patrons with community services, to help online with government forms from Service Canada or Service Ontario. They assist getting replacement birth certificates, dealing with Ontario Renovates, signing up for CPP, OAS or supplements. They have helped those in need of help from women’s centres, those with stolen or lost ID, with police clearances, passports, apps for tablets, etc. They also help people with low literacy filling out forms.

These services and more are offered by Community Navigators. Libraries were chosen because they’re free, they’re a reliable resource and they allow ambiguity.

Bingo was the entertainment for the afternoon.

Thanks to Tammy Krawchuk for calling the numbers and to Linda Wigfield for checking the numbers and handing out the prizes.

The winners were Lena Janik, Barb Siddall, Mary Hairsine, Doreen Armstrong, Nancy Roach, Harold Dundas, Carol Roach, Bob McKee, Pat Churchill, Robert Lapsa and Gary Roach.

Andrew Banar starts Aqua fit With Friends

By Pat Bailey

LEAMINGTON – Andrew Banar is not one to sit idly by and do nothing — being active and fit is important to this young man.

The 27-year-old Kingsville man, who was born with Down Syndrome, is on a mission to make sure his friends stay active and healthy as well. And when Andrew sets his mind to something, there’s no stopping him. Just ask his mom, Karen Pickle.

His dedication and commitment have been evident for years, but more so since starting up his business Group Hug Apparel about nine years ago. It started as a means of earning money to go to college. You see, Andrew not only has a big heart, but big dreams as well. And many of those dreams have already come true.

The college grad (Life Skills 2014) has continued with his successful t-shirt business, donating t-shirts and teddy bears, as well as much of the proceeds from the t-shirts to sick children around the world.

While fundraising and visiting his “sick friends” in the hospital, Andrew, with a little bit of help from his mom, has also managed to keep active and social with a variety of activities – some geared to those with intellectual disabilities and one open to anyone wishing to join him on his Monday evening walks in Lakeside Park.

Along with his Walking With Friends group, Andrew also enjoys Cooking With Friends, Dancing With Friends and his latest, Aqua Fit With Friends.

Karen said Andrew is a veteran of aqua fitness in the pool and wanted to invite

his friends to join in the fun.

And it was his aqua fitness instructor, Shirley Ribble, who made this latest dream come true. Karen said they approached her with the idea and she immediately agreed.

Shirley said she thought it was a great idea and thought it would offer them a chance to get some exercise while enjoying the pool. She said she expected the participants would receive many health benefits, including a good night’s sleep. She and her assistant Lindsay Jones, who both have knowledge in the field of behavioural and special populations, instruct the class, while Andrew also lends a hand, giving his friends a little guidance as well.

Shirley said much of the credit also goes to the Best Western Plus manager Carolyn Tann-Jacobs, who welcomed the group with open arms. The class is offered free of charge, the first and third Thursdays of the month, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Leamington.

Shirley said it was through the generosity of the Water-

We are having

Art group that members of the Aqua Fit With Friends group were each presented with a pair of specialized resistance water mitts to wear during class.

Karen said the cost of the program, which has partnered with the Essex County

Heroes Athletics Club, is covered through their fundraising efforts.

In addition to all of these activities, Andrew manages to fit in two part-time jobs — one at Colasanti’s and one with the Kingsville Kings hockey team.

For Karen, watching her son develop into the amazing young man he has become has been worth every ounce of her time and energy. Not only has he already achieved many of the personal goals he set for him-

self, he has been recognized locally, provincially and nationally for some of his achievements.

For further information on the Aqua Fit With Friends program, contact Karen Pickle at 519-8195250.

The Kings also won a road game 10-2 in Northumberland on Friday, October 19. The Kings will host Niagara-on-the-Lake October 28 at 3 p.m. in their next home game at Kingsville Arena. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Strong start of Kingsville Novice Green KINGSVILLE – The Kingsville Kings Novice Green squad started its regular season on the road against Essex Yellow and a very strong goaltender.

After falling behind early by two, Quinn Monminie sparked the offense with a goal late in the second frame.

Jace Pepper tied the affair with his first of the year. Monminie put the game on ice with his second goal, set up by Alexander Pallotto’s strong individual effort to get the puck to the front of the net.

Game two pitted two Kingsville squads against each other with Green coming out on top 7-0. Sam Ward secured the shutout between the pipes while Monminie led the charge with a five-goal game. Keaton Morphet and William Loncke each had individual markers. Assists went to Mackenna Michalski (3), Colby Snoei, Tyson Everaert, Jasper Dunford, Rocco Baillargeon, Morphet and Pepper.

Southpoint Sun - B-3

The powers that (shouldn’t) be Here we go again.

While some NHL teams are catching the experts off guard, it’s the same old song behind the scenes. National Hockey League board of governors and executive committee chairman Jeremy Jacobs has declared that the league is missing a key component for success — Houston. Jacobs, who I admire about as much as Bettman, Milan Lucic, the Leafs, pop music and migraine headaches all rolled into one, is a voice that far too many people take far too seriously.

This is the same man who stated publicly that ALL of the NHL’s 31 teams are in good financial health.

Bryan Jessop Anyway, a lot of people seem to believe that if Jacobs utters a specific statement, its contents are as good as gold. True, the man has been granted FAR too much power for reasons that I could never even begin to explain. Sure, he owns the Bruins (which is actually a fact that many Beantown fans are none too proud of), but so what? It’s a financially successful franchise, but so too are the Habs, Leafs, Rangers, Wings, Oilers, Flyers, Canucks, etc.

When Tilman Fertitta purchased the NBA’s Houston Rockets and made it known that he’s not opposed to bringing aboard an NHL team, a LOT of people figured Houston in the NHL was a done deal. Well, it’s not. Shortly after making his non-hate of the NHL known, Fertitta also stated that pro hockey south of the Mason-Dixon Line has been a proven bad idea over and over again. That statement has been compared to a savvy used car customer pointing out the rust, high mileage and leaky transmission on a vehicle in hopes of bringing down the seller’s asking price.

The NHL is unlikely to back down on its expansion fee of $650 million. Bill Foley forked over the going rate of $500 million a couple years ago for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, which many of us thought was crazy. Now, a team of owners is apparently willing to comply with Bettmanesque inflation and meet the new going rate for an expansion team in Seattle.

Just because Fertitta isn’t OPPOSED to bringing an NHL team to Houston doesn’t mean he’ll hand Bettman et al a blank cheque. With his “Mason-Dixon Line” comment, he’s taken a roundabout way of saying precisely that.

So is anyone else interested in paying a cool $650 million for a Houston team? Nope.

Even if the league found a new 650 million dollar sucker, The Toyota Center is the only venue capable of hosting a team. If Fertitta doesn’t want his main tenant Rockets to share the space, it likely won’t happen. So… will the league budge on the new price tag? Knowing how much more important money is than the actual game itself in the eyes of Bettman and the BOG, I’m thinking “no.”

Since Seattle has all but been guaranteed the 32nd team via expansion, Houston’s hopes likely lie within relocation and a suitable fee to coincide. Can the purchase price of an existing team and the league’s arbitrary relocation fee add up to significantly less than 650 million big ones? Maybe, but who aside from the Coyotes are ripe for the picking? All the other money pits are tied to lengthy lease contracts.

Calgary? Ottawa? The former will have a new barn eventually and Melnyk deemed that the latter will never be for sale. If Jacobs, Bettman and the rest of the league can’t keep their greed in check, they can keep dreaming about Houston.

Toots Flanders and his horse are seen standing beside the lovely fountain that once graced the northeast corner of Main and Division Streets. The fountain, which was donated by the Women’s Institute, was six feet in height and had three outlets to serve horses, dogs and people. It was destroyed during a streetcar accident on April 19, 1919.

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, October 1998 Abundant perch ends lull for Wheatley netters The life of a commercial fisherman certainly has its ups and downs.

In the past two weeks gill net lifts have suddenly produced abundant yellow perch for most of the Wheatley commercial fishermen, bringing a late summer lull in production to a close.

Daily catches have been tremendous for some tugs and straps of nets set in the right spot on the right day, hauling in thousands of pounds of the highly craved Lake Erie yellow perch.

The crews are smiling at the solid price of $3.00 per pound paid to the boat and although they retail at nearly $11.00 per pound, a good feed of yellow perch caught from the cold waters in the fall is worth the price. ********** It appears that the major difficulty facing local fishermen won’t be low stocks of fish this fall, but low water level at Wheatley’s harbour mouth.

The sand bar built up at the harbour entrance is becoming increasingly more difficult to negotiate.

The sand accumulation combined with a drop in the lake level has resulted in several fishing vessels scrubbing bottom on a routine basis when the wind direction is off shore or blows down the lake long enough and hard enough to create “lake tilt” in the water level.

PRIMARY COLOURS - Spring bulbs will bloom in a colourful tulip bed created recently by the primary classes at Wheatley Area Public School. The school council purchased 200 spring bulbs for the beautification project at the front of the school. All the primary class members were involved in the planting and every class will be represented by a different colour. The activity follows the school-wide sciences theme of “Life Systems” and the pupils of Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Pardo will be rewarded with beautiful blooms next spring for the entire school and community to enjoy.

Hard at work on their project are left to right: Brian Ricker, Kelsey Harris, Marlene Shanks, and Shelby Hodovick.

Storm teams win Bradford tournament KINGSVILLE/HARROW – Erie North Shore teams proved double trouble for their opposition for one of the first tournaments of the 2018-19 campaign.

The major midget and bantam minor Storm teams both came home from the annual Bradford Blue and Gold Tournament with championship medals this year. The tournament, held Friday, Oct. 12 to Sunday, Oct. 14, included five teams in the Midget A division. The Storm kicked things off in round robin play with a 4-1 win over the hosting Bradford Bulldogs on Friday. After a three-hour breather, they kept their undefeated record intact with a 3-0 shutout win against the Halton Hills Thunder.

A similar schedule greeted the Erie North Shore squad on Saturday, which started with a 5-2 victory over the Caledon Hawks. The undefeated record continued that evening with another shutout performance — this time against the Ottawa Sting.

With the top two teams advancing to the championship match, the 3-1 Bulldogs went looking for redemption against the Storm from the Friday game. Erie North Shore held on however, posting a 2-1 win to earn the championship.

In their only Saturday contest, the Storm blanked the Erindale Spitfires 5-0. By finishing preliminary play with five points, Erie North Shore finished second to earn a spot in the semifinals against the London Jr. Mustangs Purple team that they tied in the tournament’s first game. The second time around, the Storm squeaked by with a 3-2 win for an appearance in the championship contest against the London Jr. Mustangs White.

The second London team was a perfect 3-0-0 in round robin play and breezed by a Barrie Colts team 5-0 in the other semifinal game. Erie North Shore however came out on top in the final by a score of 5-2 to claim this year’s tournament championship.

Southpoint Novice Majors shut out Chatham LEAMINGTON /WHEATLEY – This past weekend the Southpoint Capitals Point Pelee Karting Novice Major were in Leamington for a two-game home stand.

On Friday night, Oct. 19, the Capitals hosted the Kent Cobras from Chatham. After controlling the action for most of the period, the Caps were able to light the lamp first. Brody Brown got the puck to Tyler Thomas, who hit Brayden Foster with a great lead pass, and Foster went in firing one in the top corner for a 1-0 lead. One minute later, Foster notched his second by banging in a Brody Brown rebound.

In the third, AJ Youssef, from behind the net, tried a wraparound and Jonathan Recker banged in the rebound. Southpoint did a great job dominating all aspects of the game and kept the Chatham goalie busy all night. Karly Franklin stood tall against the Chatham rush and earned the shutout in a 3-0 victory.

On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 20, Southpoint hosted a tough squad from LaSalle. The Sabres came out firing but the Caps did not back down. With three minutes left in the first, Zack Bradley pushed the puck ahead to Brody Brown, who skated in and tucked it past LaSalle’s netminder for the lead.

The Capitals played solid defense throughout the first with timely saves by Christian Papp.

Southpoint was able to kill off a two-man 5-on-3 LaSalle advantage in the middle of the second frame with some solid forechecking. Shortly after, Sloan Smith carried the puck in along the right wing and found Brody Brown cutting towards the net. Brown made no mistake going top corner for his second of the game.

Early in the third, the Sabres picked up a loose puck and scored to get on the board. Then, with six minutes left in the game, LaSalle had a seeing eye shot that went between the legs of both the defensemen and the screened goalie to even the score.

The Capitals had to settle for a 2-2 tie despite playing a great game.

Sharks double Flyers: power play a force to be reckoned with

By Bryan Jessop

WHEATLEY – For the first time this season, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks’ power play was a force to be reckoned with.

By scoring more man advantage goals in 33 minutes than in the first 10 games of the season, the Sharks posted a 6-3 win over the visiting Petrolia Flyers in last week’s game at Wheatley Area Arena. The win again vaulted the Sharks over the .500 mark and into fifth place — one point behind the Amherstburg Admirals and one point ahead of the Mooretown Flags.

In the first period, Eric Prudence of the Sharks and Zach VanEyk traded goals for the Sharks and Flyers respectively, the first on a low screen into the left corner and the latter on a delayed Wheatley penalty. Matt Taylor drew the helper on the Sharks’ goal.

The Sharks brought the power play to life in the second, where Mitch Lantin and Parker Boyle both scored on the man advantage. VanEyk notched his second of the night be-

LEAMINGTON – Penalty kills again outnumbered power plays, but Flyers fans were still left tickled pink after 60 minutes of action against the visiting St. Thomas Stars.

Wrapping up the Thursday, Oct. 18 match with a 5-2 win, the Flyers improved to 7-2-1-2 for a four-point cushion over the Sarnia Legionnaires in the race for second in the GOJHL’s Western Conference.

Both teams had their chances in the first period, although Leamington seemed to have the slight upper hand in the back and forth affair. Dylan Weston opened the scoring on a wrist shot from inside the faceoff circle to Stars goalie Anthony Hurtubise’s left side, assisted by Adam Jeffery and Ryan Gagnier.

Jake Robinson chipped the puck past a fallen Flyers’ netminder Zach Borgiel to tie the game just over two minutes later. Joining Johnny Ulicny on the rush to turn a one on one into a two on one, Cameron Armstrong batted a pass over the line to reinstate the Flyers’ one-goal advantage.

The Flyers were more dominant in the second frame, where they rang another shot off the iron while holding St. Thomas to two shots. The hosts generated several scoring

SP Bantam Stars skate to a tie LEAMINGTON/ WHEATLEY – The Southpoint Bantam Stars played host to the South County Amherstburg Predators in Essex-Kent league action on the weekend. This was an exciting game from start to finish.

The Predators jumped out to a 2-0 lead after a scoreless first period.

The Lady Stars, with their backs against the wall, scored two goals in the final four minutes of the third period to tie the game, which ended deadlocked at 2-2. Shannon Harris and Meaghan Derksen scored the Stars’ goals, with assists going to Melyse Renwick and Brooke DaCosta.

Evan Gualtieri made several key saves throughout this game to secure the point for her team.

by Maddux Rychel and Zach Taylor on the Robinson goal and Armstrong and Ulicny on the O’Neil tally. Leamington outshot the visitors 31-22 and were zero for one on the man advantage while St. Thomas managed one for five.

“We started a little slow, but then we started playing our game tonight,” said Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “Our fourth line was great and I like the way we’ve been playing defensively.”

“We had a lot of guys making a lot of big plays,” added Armstrong after his three-point performance. “I had two really good passes from Ulicny that gave me chances to score.

The whole team was buzzing tonight.”

The game served as the Flyers’ annual Pink on the Rink fundraiser, where special jerseys worn by the home team in honour of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month were auctioned off for the Canadian Cancer Society. Before the game began, each Flyer greeted a female member of his family to present with a rose on the red line. In total, auction offerings and donations raised $1,735.75 for this year’s fundraiser.

Leamington will visit the LaSalle Vipers Wednesday, Oct. 24 before hosting the London Nationals Thursday, Oct. 25 at 7:10 p.m.

Cardinal Carter Cougars snap senior football losing skid

The Cardinal Carter Cougars’ Adrian Hermez and several other players eye a loose ball shortly after a snap during the second half of a WECSSAA senior football game Friday, Oct. 19 at Cardinal Carter between the Cougars and Brennan Cardinals. Brennan struck first, but the Cougars came back to post a 28-12 victory.

For Cardinal Carter’s older football team, victory seems to be in the Cards.

The Cougars posted their first win since the end of the 2015 season in a 28-11 decision against the visiting Brennan Cardinals Friday, Oct. 19. The win improved Cardinal Carter’s 2018 regular season record to 1-3-0 in the team’s first taste of victory since capturing the WECSSAA Wilson Division championship three years ago — a 16-15 nailbiter that was also earned against Brennan.

“We had a much better week of practices and then we came out and worked hard today,” explained Cougars head coach Chris Church. “This time, there were no last-minute surprises (reports from players who could not attend the game) and no injuries.”

With Dylan Taylor available as quarterback last week, the Cougars were able to run an effective double wing offense that gained a steady string of first downs that in turn brought the hosts within touchdown range.

“It worked out well today,” Church said after the October 19 game. “It was all about the timing.

“We ran the ball We ran the ball a lot better a lot better today today — basically, it came basically, it came down to effort.” down to effort.”

The Cardinals started — Chris Church, the scoring on a 26-yard head coach pass-run play after recovering an early Cougars fumble. The kickoff landed in the host team’s end zone and could not be brought back out, allowing Brennan to take an 8-0 lead.

Olalekan Mustafa made a nine-yard dash into the Cardinals’ end zone. The first of four Cameron Taouil extra point kicks brought Cardinal Carter to within a point to start the second quarter.

Rickelmy Lima completed an 11-yard sprint for his team’s second touchdown, bringing the Cougars into a 14-8 lead. Lima struck again later in the quarter, this time on a 39-yard run for his second major of the game.

The Cardinals recovered a fumble on their own 19-yard line to temporarily thwart a Cardinal Carter scoring attempt, but then lost the ball on downs at their own 20. On the next play, Mustafa finished the scoring with a 20-yard jaunt.

In the WECSSAA Tier II division, the top four teams will enter a semifinal round of playoffs. With last Friday’s win, Cardinal Carter put themselves within range of a post-season appearance, provided they win their last three matches and there are ideal outcomes between other teams. The Cougars visit the 3-2-0 Lajeunesse Royals Thursday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. and the 1-3-0 Riverside Rebels Monday, Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. A Thursday, Nov. 1 home game against LDSS will be posted as a 1-0 forfeit win.

Back-to-back wins for Atom Minors LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – The Southpoint Capitals Grossi Construction Atom Minors travelled to Essex Friday night, Oct. 19, to play the Ravens.

The Caps were on fire with two goals in the first period led by Mitchell Moracci and Ben McFadden. Assists went to Gabriel Rino and Rex Pearce.

During the second period the pressure was getting to the Ravens as penalties were stacking.

The Caps managed to score two more in the second by Mitchell Moracci and Ryder Grossi, assisted by Ben McFadden and Nathan Ford.

Period three began with the Caps leading 4-0. Netminder Nolan Meadows managed to keep limber and loose, ready for anything that was shooting his way.

This period proved to be the best yet. Tempers flared and shots fired, hard passes and some of the fastest skating yet landed the Caps with their fifth goal of the game scored by Ryder Grossi, assisted by Mitchell Moracci and Ben Arquette.

The Ravens didn’t quit and managed to squeeze one by for a single in the last five minutes of the game. leaving the win to the Atom Minors 5-1.

On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 20, the Caps hosted the LaSalle Sabres at the Highbury rink.

These two teams haven’t played each other since the early bird tournament in mid-September.

The Caps, still on a game winning high from the night before, scoring the game’s first goal in the first. This was the first of many short-handed goals led by

Southpoint Sun - B-11

Peewee Minors meet Rangers in weekend hockey action LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – This past weekend it was off to the WFCU Centre for the Southpoint Capitals Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor team. The last time the Capitals faced the Rangers, it was unquestionably a blow out with a massive loss.

Perhaps the Rangers cockiness this time around is what left them unprepared for the resolve with which the Caps played this time around. Though they couldn’t pull out the win, they fought through a great game showing that they continue to grow.

When the teams hit the ice, Riverside surged to a 3-0 lead within a 4-minute span.

Visions of the last time they played each other emerged. Spectators began shaking their heads at what was inevitably another blowout. At the 1:12 mark of the first period, Chase Simpson decided enough was enough and potted the first Southpoint goal on a feed from Colton Selwood and Nick Mastromatteo. Southpoint then cut the lead to one with a goal by Colton Selwood, assisted by Liam Ouellette.

Riverside pushed back to resume their two-goal lead with a little over two minutes left in the second period. This was short-lived as Liam Ouellette scored unassisted to pull the Rangers back within reach once again.

The Rangers added one more insurance goal in the third, and try as they might, Southpoint couldn’t catch up again. The final was 5-3.

Some would say a loss, others would say a gain. Facing a team that slaughtered them only a short time ago takes resolve and courage – traits that the parents, players and coaches of today strive to instill in the players of tomorrow.

The Southpoint Atom Minors celebrated back-to-back wins on the weekend.

forward Noah Borges who had a breakaway from the Caps’ end.

Period two was relentless on both sides as the fight to win was on. Whistles were blowing as both sides were pinching their competitors to make sure they couldn’t get past their defense lines.

Both teams scored one but the Caps again had a one-timer ring as Matthew Mastromatteo blazed the puck past the Sabres’ goaltender. Caps net minder Nicholas DiMilo had to be quick on his feet and spread his pads for many saves.

The intensity was thick as the Caps and Sabers entered into the third period not wanting to let the other team win. The Sabres scored again making this their third on the Caps short line.

Ryder Grossi showed the Sabres that his team wasn’t backing down and with only minutes left in the final period he scored the third goal for Southpoint, assisted by Owen Hunter and Aidan Pulley.

With the clock counting down, there was an unbelievable lastsecond attempt at scoring. Forward Noah Borges scored at the 1.0-second mark for a Caps’ win.

Final was 4-3 for the Capitals.

Southpoint Sun - B-15

Southpoint Novice Blue defeats Essex 8-1 LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – The Southpoint Capitals Novice Blue team took on Essex on Saturday, Oct. 20. Right from the first puck drop, the Caps went to work.

Much of the play was in the Essex end and the Caps hit two posts before finding the back of the net late in the first. Sean Amaral took a shot from the left side of the net but it was stopped by the Essex goalie.

In the second, Connor Rumble-Anastacio scored two unassisted goals in a row. On the first, he drove down the left

Early in the third, Jackson Weil moved the puck to the front of the Essex net and Gavin Butiniello shot it in. Goal number 6 was set up by Darius Quiring, who managed to get the puck to Sean Amaral who shot it in from the right side. Sean scored one minute later after he carried the puck down the ice into the Essex end. Gavin scored the final Southpoint goal on a nice deke.

Essex scored with about 30 seconds left in the game to ruin Ty Gould’s shutout. Ty had made a number of good stops throughout the game. Congratulations on an 8-1 win.

It was a solid effort.

side of the ice and shot the puck under the goalie. On the second he came down the right side and flipped it over the goalie.

At the two-minute mark of the second, Carter Kretschmann sent the puck out through centre ice. The Blues left winger Landon Carlini raced after it, controlling it over the Essex blueline, and shot it in. It was Landon’s first goal ever in his first season.
