With plenty of elbow room to offer, the second installment of a family event had no problems taking to the skies.

The Southpoint International Kite Festival made the most of the 54 acres provided by the Leamington Soccer Complex, attracting a sum of about 5,000 people to the two-day spectacle. From massive animal-themed kites to synchronized performances put on by expert kite flyers from across Ontario and surrounding American states, the Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6 series of attractions wowed visitors of all ages.

“The reaction of families and kids was really infectious and provided the fuel for a small band of very tired volunteers,” explained the events founder and lead coordinator George Paisiovich. “We learned a lot about trying to put on such a large scale event there.”

The festival allowed families to fly their own kites or versions they purchsaed on site on the LSC’s northern fields while demonstrations took place farther south.

Saturday evening included night flying with lights and reflective materials while Sunday featured a 100-foot kite dedication to first responders, military personnel and their families.

The first edition of the festival was dubbed the Wheatley Wind Festival, held at Wheatley Area Arena in the early summer of 2018.

The Southpoint International Kite Festival attracted kites and kite flyers of all sizes. An estimated total of 5,000 children and adults alike enjoyed being outside and flying a kite.

The two-day event, organized by a committee led by George Paisiovich, served as a followup to last year’s Wheatley Wind Festival at the Wheatley Area Arena grounds. Kites of all shapes, colours and sizes were on display while families brought their own kites or purchased versions for sale near the canteen building at the LSC. A team of volunteers set up a large arrangement of displays from noon to 6 p.m. the previous Friday. Night flying took place Saturday evening while Sunday’s schedule included a dedication to first responders, military veterans and their families.

Super Ethan’s Steps

The 5th annual Super Ethan’s Steps was held at Lakeside Park on Sept. 29 in honour of Ethan Abdul-Massih, a Childhood Cancer survivor, in conjunction with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Super Ethan’s Steps raises over $8,000

The 5th annual Super Ethan’s Steps was held Sept. 29 at Lakeside Park.

KINGSVILLE – Sunday, September 29 was the 5th Annual Super Ethan’s Steps at Lakeside Park in Kingsville.

The month of September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

This year the walk raised over $8,000 for the Paediatric Oncology Unit at Windsor Regional Hospital. This clinic had nearly 500 visits from local children last year who have been affected by Childhood Cancer. Whether it is for treatment or follow-up care, many children in the community

rely on this clinic for many of their medical needs and care throughout their cancer treatment and after treatment.

There were over 200 people attending this year’s event which included a 2km walk, face painting, raffle prizes, snacks and refreshments, and a family yoga session by Bliss Wellness Studio. Everything at the event was donated by businesses and individuals within the community. The support and generosity toward this event was incredible.

“It was so heartwarming seeing so many families come out to support this cause and to see so many happy faces,” said Nicole AdbulMassih, who along with her husband Charlie organizes the event each year.

The couple started Super Ethan’s Steps in honour of their son Ethan, who is a childhood cancer survivor.

Ethan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia just before his second birthday. He went through over three years of treatment, which he completed in 2017.

“Our hope is to help raise awareness for Childhood Cancer, especially for children within our own Windsor-Essex community, while at the same time raising funds for a facility that is very near and dear to our family’s hearts,” said Nicole. “The Paediatric Oncology Unit was like a second home for our family while Ethan was on treatment. We understand how much this clinic means to many families within our community and how much it helps not just the children receiving treatment, but their families and loved ones who spend time with them there.”

A Toast to Change - recognizing Change Makers

By Bryan Jessop

As successful as the first edition was, the South Essex Community Council’s Toast To Change Gala was greeted with even more support the second time around.

The annual gathering, effectively a replacement for the Diamonds and Denim event that served as a key SECC fundraiser for 13 years, was held Friday, Oct. 4 at Mastronardi Estate Winery. The occasion, first introduced in 2018, serves as both a means to generate financial support for SECC programming and a gesture of thanks to some of the Leamington area’s most dedicated volunteers and community partners.

“Diamonds and Denim was a fun, successful event, but after doing it for 13 years, things plateaued,” said SECC executive director Carolyn Warkentin. “We felt it was time to shake things up with something that reflects our mission and shows why these Change Makers are so critical to our community. We understand that we’re not in this alone. We rely on partners and individuals on the ground who get the job done.”

This year’s Toast to Change gala was backed by local businesses and groups as sponsors as well as an estimated 235 guests who purchased tickets at $100 each. Be“Everyone fore the event and its awards presentations took place, it had already matched last year’s proceeds of approxinominated is very mately $25,000. The final amount after this year’s ticket deserving of raffles had not yet been tabulated by press deadline. recognition. They all After a period of about two months during the summer of this year, six nominees were submitted for considerdo wonderful work.” ation to receive three awards — one for the Volunteer — Carolyn Change Maker Award and two for Community Change Warkentin Maker Awards. The nominees for 2019 were as follows: • Stacey Jones — nominated for establishing the Rotary Kingsville Southshore chapter; • Lorraine Gibson — nominated for volunteer work in the community and unwavering commitment to migrant workers living in Leamington and Kingsville; • Ronnie Haidar — nominated for dedication to raising awareness of Islam and cultures of the Middle East and promoting/celebrating diversity in this region; • Jennifer Bradford — nominated for volunteer work with multiple organizations and her positive attitude and friendly demeanor; • Hogs For Hospice — nominated for outstanding efforts to raise money and awareness for Erie Shores Hospice; • Michael Honey — nominated for a significant impact through philanthropic activities in the community through the Honey Family Foundation.

Each year, Toast To Change award winners are selected by an SECC committee of board and staff members who utilize a scoring matrix included in each nomination form.

“They’re very difficult decisions to make,” explained Warkentin. “Everyone nominated is very deserving of recognition. They all do wonderful work.”

The winners of this year’s awards were Hogs For Hospice and Bradford as Community Change Makers and Gibson as Volunteer Change Maker.

Mill Street Market Visitors check out the inventory at Heidi’s Haus Catering and Sweet Delights during the Mill Street Night Market Friday, Oct. 4. This month’s edition of the outdoor event featured 34 vendors and two stages set up for live musical performances, with some vendors offering hot chocolate, hot cider and coffee for visitors to keep warm. The final edition of the market for 2019 will take place Saturday, Nov. 30 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. along Mill Street West in conjunction with Leamington’s annual Santa Claus Parade. The market’s seasonal finale will feature a holiday theme. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Healthy Smile, Healthy Mind In addition to looking great, dentures can significantly improve a person’s quality of life, self-esteem, and self-concept.

A denturist treats far more than just teeth.

Think about it: We use our smiles to express affection, greet new and old friends, and otherwise make connections with people around us.

In a way, a healthy, vibrant smile functions as a gateway between a person’s inner being and the outside world.

What’s more, eating is a significant part of socializing for most people. I’m sure if you reflect on your own experiences, you’ll find that many of the most significant conversations, meetings, and milestone celebrations in your life have occurred at a dinner table.

Now, imagine smiling or eating with or around others was impossible. How do you think that would make you feel?

We meet many patients who have lived for years with weak, broken, or missing teeth. Some common themes tend to emerge in this population. People with significant oral health problems tend to withdraw from their friends and families. They avoid situations in which they will have to eat in front of others in an attempt to preserve their dignity and hide their embarrassment. That’s no way to live.

Our experience tells us that securing a new smile often leads to meaningful social and psychological breakthroughs for denture wearers.

The effects of poor oral health on mental health is something we should talk more about. We’re not psychiatrists, but we do know that mental wellness has become an increasingly audible topic of discussion in recent years. And for good reason: According to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, in any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians experiences a mental illness or addiction problem. By the time Canadians reach 40 years of age, 1 in 2 have—or have had—a mental illness. Moreover, we know now that mental and physical health are linked in important ways.

Earlier this year, we met a very unique patient in our office who provides a perfect example of how missing and damaged teeth can significantly impede a person’s quality of life. At only 25

years of age, Andrea was missing most of her teeth due to a lifelong battle with a rare genetic disorder and complications from fibromyalgia.

She had suffered from agonizing pain and recurrent infections in her mouth for several years.

Naturally, Andrea’s complicated oral health situation interfered significantly with her ability to eat many of her favourite foods, and it had affected her mental health and self-concept profoundly.

For Andrea, even a task as straightforward as running errands around town or going to the mall became a frightening, anxiety-inducing ordeal. An interaction with a cashier that you or I might not give a second thought was incredibly stressful, as Andrea feared revealing her teeth by opening her mouth to speak.

At times, she refused to leave her home, at all, which affected not only her but also her young children.

With her new smile, Andrea has achieved a level of confidence she’d previously assumed was impossible. Today, she is clearly happy, confident, and motivated. No longer fearful of how others will react to her when she opens her mouth, Andrea is finally able to focus on her career, her children, and her own quality of life.

“My new teeth gave my confidence and happiness the likes of which I haven’t felt in years,” Andrea told us in an interview. “It’s genuinely just amazing to feel so much love from everybody. I just want to enjoy my life and find out who I really am—not the person who was always scared of bringing herself out.”

If you or a loved one has felt a little closed off from the world lately, have you considered the possibility that oral health is playing a role? You might be surprised how comfortable a beautiful new smile can make a person feel.

KINGSVILLE – The Town of Kingsville is the Communities in Bloom winner in the 7,501 – 25,000 Population category. They received a 5 Blooms - Bronze rating and a special mention for Pumpkin Parade during the 2019 National/International Symposium and Awards Ceremonies in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on Sept. 28.

The Town of Kingsville was in competition with Cold Lake, AB, and Torbay, NL. Over the summer, trained volunteer judges travelled to participating communities to evaluate the overall contributions of municipal council and departments, industry, businesses and the private sector – including volunteer efforts – in regards to the following criteria: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape and Floral Displays.

Following their evaluation, volunteer judges Berta Briggs and Larry Hall wrote: “Early November the CiB Committee discovered a unique way of bringing the community together and make good use of all the pumpkins left over from Halloween. Advertisements went out asking to bring their pumpkins to Lakeside Park where they were placed along one of the pathways. That evening all 300 pumpkins were lit and everyone got to enjoy a stroll along the path. This event brought out countless volunteers and was enjoyed by many residents. It was so successful that plans are being made to have this become an annual event. The following day the pumpkins were given to a local farmer, thus helping a local farm and eliminating any smashed pumpkins on the streets. This proved to be a win, win program.”

Communities are evaluated using a “Bloom” rating determined by the total score: 82% and over - 5 Blooms.

Within the 5 Blooms rating there are levels ranging from: 5 Blooms - 82 to 83.9%; Bronze - 84 to 86.9%; Silver 87 to 89.9%; and Gold - 90% and over.

Memories of...

Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley

Photo courtesy of the Kingsville Archives

Let’s Talk Turkey It’s Thanksgiving once again, and let’s face it, we have lots to be thankful for.

The fact that we’re still here is reason enough to celebrate this weekend.

While the Canadian Thanksgiving doesn’t garner the attention that American Thanksgiving does, it’s a good time to gather family and friends and eat lots of good food.

For me, it causes me to remember the holidays when I was a kid.

Thanksgiving gatherings in my family were full of food, drinks, laughs and probably a family argument here and there.

The smell of roasting turkey and pumpkin pie filled the air, and as kids, we’d be excited because it officially ushered in the fall season, which has been my favourite time of year since I can remember.

It gets me thinking back to a simpler time, when my dad would rake the leaves into piles throughout the yard and then light them on fire. The smell of burning leaves still catches me and causes me to stop for just a moment.

Mark Ribble Of course my friends and I would spend time running through the leaf piles and dad would have to re-rake them into the perfect piles he desired.

Funny, I don’t remember him getting mad at us for ruining the piles.

Fall also meant hunting season in our household. As a young child, I’d wait anxiously on Saturday morning for my dad to bring in his bounty of ducks and geese from the marsh.

Duck hunting at Point Pelee was an annual ritual enjoyed by local hunters for many years.

We had the luxury of living in the park and my dad and brothers would just venture out into the marsh and usually return with their limit.

Blue wing teal, green wing teal, wood ducks and green heads would make up the majority of the targets. My dad’s hunting coat had a pouch on the inside back, where I’d reach in to pull out a duck.

We’d spend Saturday afternoon plucking, singeing and dressing the ducks for placement in the roasting pan. When I was old enough to handle a knife, it was my job to clean out the gizzard. My dad would make homemade stuffing and stuff each one of the birds with a handful of bread, onions and spices. The teal were so small in the pan, they almost looked like sparrows lying there beside the big mallards.

Mom would get the potatoes peeled and boiled and always mashed them by hand. She also made a mean turkey gravy, which is a skill I’ve yet to completely conquer.

I have, however, inherited my dad’s ability to make good stuffing.

The days of roaming around the house, taste-testing everything and helping with the prep probably contributed to my culinary skills later in life.

Those are memories that will last forever.

I can’t forget Halloween of course.

My mother had a love-hate relationship with Halloween. She loved to see all the kids dressed up but if you came to her door and she thought you were too old or didn’t have a costume, she was quick to let you know that.

Halloween for me as a kid was exciting. The Point Pelee population was dwindling each year, but we still got lots of good stuff. Caramel Apples, peanut brittle and lots of Halloween Kisses, which are still my favourite to this day.

I looked forward to Halloween each year as much as other kids got excited about Christmas. We’d always have a Halloween party at Gore Hill and never once called it ‘Orange and Black Day’. There would be a parade through all of the classrooms, complete with your little jack-o-lantern bucket.

We were talking on the weekend about Halloweens past, and I mentioned to my wife that my mom used to call Halloween masks ‘false faces’. She thought that was an odd description. I wonder if anyone else’s parents called them false faces.

These days, I’m just as excited about Halloween and watching my grandkids get ready for trick-or-treating.

The happy look on their faces as they get in costume is worth the sugar-crash that comes later.

Life has come full circle.

LMHS announces Heritage First Families award winner

Flag raisings and proclamations

By C. Scott Holland

LEAMINGTON – The Leamington and Mersea Historical Society has announced the winner of its 2019 First Families Heritage award. The honour this year goes to the Virginio and Amelia Ricci family.

Sometimes it is more than just longevity that connects a family to a particular community. In the case of the Virginio and Amelia Ricci family, it is a bond of building a strong commitment that is deeply involved with the community as well as encouraging their children’s education and talent.

Those values have been instilled within their six children – two daughters and four sons – and has been extended to their grandchildren.

Coming to Canada in December 1954, Virginio and Amelia, along with their four-year-old daughter Margaret, settled in a crowded farmhouse on Wilkinson Drive in Leamington, Ontario. They worked on that farm and would often supplement their income with seasonal work at the H.J. Heinz plant. By 1969, Virginio bought a 12-acre farm with 10,000 square feet of greenhouses and a house on the 4th Concession. He sold the farm in 1983, where Great Lakes Greenhouses is situated today, and the couple now resides at the Chartwell Leamington Retirement Home on Henry Avenue.

Of the six children, daughter Margaret Ingratta, the oldest, was a teacher at Queen of Peace Public School for eight years and after raising her children spent another 12 years supply teaching. She currently works for a seed company.

She volunteers for Hospice and The Bank Theatre, is a member of the Rotary Club and Toastmasters, and was a past-president of the Roma Club.

Son Frank Ricci has been a lawyer since the mid-1980s, been on the board of directors for Essex Power, been involved with the Knights of Columbus, Kinsmen Club, Hogs For Hospice, United Way and South Essex Community Council plus numerous other organizations. One feat he has accomplished certainly stands out. He has successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain found in Tanzania.

Son Ron Ricci has been a teacher and vice-principal at Essex District Secondary School since 1996 and is the current president of the Roma Club. He is also a past president

and member of the Essex Rotary Club for the past 12 years.

Likewise, daughter Rina Hyland has been a member of the Rotary Club for 20 years. She has been club president twice and has hosted four Youth Exchange students. She has been teaching now for over 30 years and has been involved with Hogs for Hospice. She and her husband Brian, a beef and grains farmer, have donated two beef cattle to the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners annual auction for the past several years.

Dear Editor, Reference the Southpoint Sun article of Wednesday, October 2, 2019 by Bryan Jessop entitled “Council turns down flag raising, proclamations”.

Kudos to Mayor Hilda MacDonald and the Leamington Town Council for turning down a request to support proclamations and flag raising on municipal property.

I believe proclamations and flag raising on municipal property should represent all of Leamington rather than a minority group or a fringe group. In my experience, I have found that some minority groups tend to be very vocal about their agenda and if anyone disagrees with that agenda they are immediately called a “phobic” of some kind.

Webster’s New World Dictionary defines phobic as an adjective describing a person with “an irrational, excessive and persistent fear of some thing or situation”. I can assure you that I have only disdain for those people who loudly proclaim their right to freedom of speech but deny the same right to anyone who may disagree with their agenda.

Contract selected for Mill Street building demolition

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Access to the new and improved Mill Street West will soon be a little easier for pedestrians in the region.

Leamington municipal council approved of a contract for the demolition of 40 and 42 Mill Street West to McGregorbased Gagnon Demolition Inc. The vacant building, formerly occupied by Di Primio’s Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, has been targeted for being leveled to the ground later this month. The new space will be designated as a pedestrian corridor to Mill Street West businesses and events including monthly Mill Street Night Markets for visitors approaching from the nearby Russell Street Municipal parking lot.

Gagnon came in as the cheapest of five tender bids at $52,386 including HST, although another $1,272 will be charged for removing asbestos. The small amount of chrysotile asbestos was found in the black tar beneath the ceramic tile mortar in the washroom during a prior designated substance survey.

Along with other fees including studies, appraisal report and docu“We’ve already mentation, the demolition got a preliminary project will come at a idea on what it will combined cost of $75,556. look like between The previous estimate buildings.” to demolish 40-42 Mill — Peter Street West was $93,000.

Neufeld The report submitted for

council’s vote recommended funding the project through the municipality’s contingency reserve.

The need for a pedestrian corridor from the Russell Street parking lot to Mill Street West was first identified through the 2017 Uptown Master Plan as submitted by RC Spencer Associates. After the opportunity to purchase the property became available, administration recommended buying the site, as a review determined that it was a stand-alone structure that could be demolished.

In response to inquiries from council, engineering project manager Alex Del Brocco explained that the space — located between Main West Furniture to the west and Nader’s Taxi to the east — will be the subject of another parkette design that will include benches and hydro access. In the meantime, the newly-created pathway will be covered with gravel for pedestrian usage.

“We’ve already got a preliminary idea on what it will PLAYING OCT. 11 - OCT. 17 look like between buildings,” explained CAO Peter THE ADDAMS Neufeld. “We’ve got an idea FAMILY (PG) on what we want to do with Fri 7:10 9:25 it, we just haven’t got that Sat 1:10 4:10 7:10 9:25 far in the design yet.”

It is an offence to remove or damage official election signs. People found damaging or removing signs can face charges under the Criminal Code. Further, according to the Canada Elections Act: “No person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission.”

It is also an offence under the Trespass to Property Act to enter onto private property without colour of right. (Note: “Colour of right” refers to an assertion of a proprietary or possessory right to a thing.)

A possible suspect in a Leamington incident has been described as an older man with white hair, operating an older model black pick-up truck. The OPP is investigating and ask that anyone with knowledge of the person(s) responsible for these criminal offences, contact them immediately.

Anyone with information regarding this or any other incident is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

Flavours on the 42

By Sheila McBrayne

In its debut year, Flavours on the 42 raised enough money to send children with disabilities to summer day camp.

Leamington Rotary and Taste Leamington paired great culinary tastes with fun to raise money for Family Respite Services.

On Wednesday, Oct. 2, 113 participants experienced an evening of dining and touring Leamington. Flavours on the 42 was a collaboration between the Municipality’s Taste Leamington project and was sponsored by Leamington Rotary Club.

“I think we have to do it again because of the response,” said Alexandria Fischer, Community Relations, Family Respite Services of Windsor-Essex.

“Some people hadn’t been to some of the restaurants and had never tried the food before and they were pleasantly surprised… the food was amazing,” said Fischer.

The fun event raised approximately $7,500, which will be used to fund the support staff needed to send children with disabilities to the summer Day Camp program at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex.

Attendees met at Best Western at 5 p.m. for live entertainment with Mike Beggs and enjoyed Mediterranean appetizers, then everyone broke off into six groups and hopped on a bus to tour the town. Each group stopped at three participating restaurants. All attendees ended up at the Best Western for dessert.

“I think everyone had a blast and was there to support the cause. They loved the food and the experience. A lot had fun on the buses and there was so much food. It was just a great, fun time,” said Fischer.

Those attending enjoyed special plates at 13 participating restaurants and toured the town by bus. Participating restaurants were Best Western, The Trading Post, Crave, Freddy’s, La Hacienda, Thirteen at the Inn, El Comal, Carmen’s Catering, Crazy Chicken, Paula’s Fish Place, Joey’s Seafood, Roma Club and Bradt’s Butcher Block.

Kite Fest honoured Canadian Heroes

Franklin Gardens welcomes Zoo2You LEAMINGTON – On September 25, Franklin Gardens Long Term Care Home welcomed Zoo2You. Many residents and staff became involved by holding various reptiles, furry animals and farm animals. It was a great day filled with smiles, laughter and excitement.

(Submitted Photos)

There was a three-way tie, with five wins, among the dozen players who shot Fun Darts on September 27 at Wheatley Legion – Velma Hope and Gerry Soulliere – Garry Hope and Larry Evoy – Julie Reid and Tracy Bruner. Bonnie Evoy and Gord Crook won three games followed by Jean Crook and Peter VanZetten with two wins. Rosemary Duquette and Jim McClellan beat the skunk with a single win.

Ladies doubling out were Julie, Bonnie and Jean.

Fun Darts are played every WHEATLEY Friday evening starting at 7:30 LEGION NEWS p.m. and everyBRANCH 324 one is welcome Jan Watson to join them.

Kay Shaw was a two-time winner at the Meat Draws that were run by Cathy and Jim Bell on September 28. Bill Derbyshire won meat and the 50/50 draw and the other meat winners were Jan Watson, Charlie Hyatt, Sue Symons, Connie Ives, Rick McNeely, Carol Balestrieri, Bill Hyatt and Joanne Steckley.

To celebrate Thanksgiving, this Saturday’s Meat Draws will feature hams for Easter. Tickets go on sale at 3 p.m. and the draws run until 5 p.m.

Judy Pickle and I represented the Branch on Sunday to honour “Canadian Heroes” and their families at the Southpoint International Kite Festival held at the Leamington Soccer Field. Bryon Knight played his bagpipe to summon the crowd to the ceremony where a replica of the Afghan kite flown in the movie “The Kite Runner” flew overhead.

Then, as Bryon piped, family members of veterans and members of the police, firefighters and emergency services were invited to sign the huge 100-foot “Canadian Heroes” kite. Canadians Kerry St. Dennis and Lucy St. Dennis Jonkman of Guelph conceived of and built this amazing tribute kite and have travelled many places to connect families and thank them. I was proud to print the name of my dad, “Ray Getty RCAF WWII”, on this magnificent tribute to our heroes.

“It’s definitely a great night out for fans,” explained Chauvin. “It’s a lot of fun for the entire family and a chance to see Stanley Cup winners.”

“It’s a lot of fun for the entire family and a chance to see Stanley Cup winners.”

— Jim Chauvin

Last year’s game between NHL legends and OPP players was the first of its kind in Leamington since February of 2015, when Essex County OPP’s Kevin O’Neil organized his 14th and final Legendary Hockey Heroes game for WE Care For Kids prior to his retirement.

The revived fundraiser held in March of this year raised about $5,300 — $2,100 raised by the Essex County OPP and $3,200 from Mystique Event Marketing’s NHL Alumni Hockey Tour. Players representing the OPP, Chauvin explained, either raise $150 by selling advance tickets or donating the same amount in a ‘pay to play’ approach for the game.

“It’s a very special thing

for them to be able to play in this game,” Chauvin said.

This time around, the game will feature a couple new twists. First, members of the general public are invited to take part in an auction to suit up and play for the NHL legends’ team. Bids can be submitted on the website www.benefithockey.com by clicking “Auction” near the top of the main page. From there, bidders can select which of the tour’s games in which they’d like to participate.

Each game features a starting bid of $700, which has been met for the October 26 game in Leamington. The auction closes at midnight Saturday, Oct. 12.

Specific to the Leamington game, spectators will be encouraged to dress up in Halloween costumes.

Chauvin hopes to arrange for a ‘parade’ of dressed up fans along a carpet set up on the ice, with judged winners to receive prizes such as gift cards donated by local businesses.

The players representing the NHL legends team for the Leamington game will be declared on the Benefit Hockey website. After the game, fans will be able to meet many of the players from the NHL roster in the LKRC’s Locker Room Lounge. After the March game, Mike Krushelnyski brought along his five Stanley Cup rings that he invited fans to try on.

Atom Minors face Essex The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Atom Minor Capitals hosted their rivals, the Essex Ravens, this past Saturday afternoon, Oct. 5, at the Highbury Canco Arena.

Coming off of a big win against Windsor, the Caps were hoping to keep their momentum going, but they did not come ready to play and Essex opened the scoring just 1:13 into the game. It seemed as though the Capitals chased the game most of the first period as they allowed another goal to Essex before the opening frame was complete.

Finally in the second, the Caps realized that they were in a game and their play slowly improved. Kayden Cook weaved his way into the offensive zone and, after being knocked down, found the puck again and tried a wraparound, banging in his own rebound to cut the lead in half. Just as quickly as the comeback began, it seemed to stall as Southpoint found themselves heading to the penalty box.

Essex, while on a five-on-three advantage, knocked in another to restore their two-goal lead.

The Capitals had some scoring chances in the third and with 4:45 remaining, Charlie Ketler started a rush, moving the puck up to Ben Liebrock. Liebrock battled his way into the zone and slapped in his shot to inch a little closer. As the clock ticked down, Southpoint continued to apply pressure but was unable to find the equalizer in a disappointing 3-2 loss.

Pets of the Week

Atom Grey starts season with a win It was exciting to get the hockey season going and the first game had Southpoint Community Trophy Atom Grey take on Southpoint Atom Blue.

Southpoint Grey put the pressure on, scoring three goals in the first period. Sean Amaral was the first to score when he put away a loose puck in front of the net. Assists went to Chace Collins and Jackson Weil.

Next it was Chace’s turn, taking the puck in from just outside the offensive zone and firing it home. Assists were awarded to Sean and Jackson.

The final goal of the period came when Logan Konrad picked up a loose puck at the top of the face-off circle and caught the inside corner of Blue’s net. Caden Raffoul and Gavin Butiniello picked up a point each for their assists.

From the score, it may seem that the play was lopsided but it wasn’t. Southpoint Blue had numerous scoring chances on Grey’s net. The problem Blue faced was netminder Ty Gould who stopped all but one of Blue’s shots. Cooper Miller ruined Ty’s chance of a shutout in the second period, when he took the puck all the way down the ice and fired it past Ty. Charbel Nicholas and Jackson Wall picked up assists on the play.

Grey scored the final goal of the game in the middle of the third. Gavin made a beautiful pass from the corner out in front of Blue’s net and found Caden perched on the doorstep. Caden made no mistake putting the puck in a wideopen corner. Logan picked up another point for an assist.

The game ended with a 4-1 win for Southpoint Grey.

Congratulations on a great first game of the season.

Sharks edge 73’s

By Bryan Jessop

Lightning Bolt Run The rain held off on Saturday, September 28, when UMEI Christian High School hosted its 3rd annual Lightning Bolt 5K Walk/Run, 10K Run and Kids Dash at Point Pelee National Park.

A total of 232 participants (and two dogs) completed the run this year. UMEI highlighted its robotics program and performed demonstrations for children while they waited for their families to finish the run. This fundraiser race is to raise money for the Foundation Fund. The Foundation Fund was created in 2013 in recognition that many prospective students may be in situations where tuition is not affordable for them. (Submitted Photo)

Kingsville ladies 18-hole league presents prizes at end-of-season gathering The Kingsville Ladies 18-hole Golf League gathered for their end-of-season meeting on October 1 at Kingsville Golf Course to enjoy breakfast together and receive golf prizes earned throughout the season. The league thanks chef Lori Dupuis for the delicious repast, server Karen Fysh who capably kept food platters full, and social convenors Lucille Kraus and Joanne Rowlandson who helped plan the meal.

Wali Forster and Patty Marcus, this year’s convenors for the Classic match play, announced this year’s winners: 1st place - Mary-Jo Laforet and Joyce Stewart; 2nd place - Kathy Soulliere and Rosalind Knight; 3rd place - Wali Forster and Patty Marcus.

First prize in each flight for Ringerboard: Silver - Patty Marcus; A Flight - Jane Webber; B Flight - Lucille Kraus; C Flight - Rosalind Knight.

In addition, the “big money” was delivered for best nets, chip-ins and birdies, and there were many envelopes given out for all flights.

Congratulations to Cindy Fields and Maureen Nefs who received CLGA pins for winning low net in their respective flights during the Club Championship. Maureen also showed the most improvement in lowering her handicap throughout the golf season.

Way to go, ladies!

The biggest yelps of delight were offered by members of the Blue Team who were surprised and delighted to learn they came in first, beating the second place Purple Team by a mere half point. In third and forth places were, respectively, the Red Team and the Yellow Team. All points were garnered during the various competitions and fun games throughout the season.

A sincere thank you to outgoing captain Cindy Fields for all her hard work over the last four years and to outgoing treasurer Jackie Lively, who also volunteered her expertise over many seasons.

Finally, President Kathy Soulliere closed the meeting with thoughtful and amusing words which reminded members of the importance of camaraderie and inspired them to look forward to next year’s golfing season.

The Wheatley Omstead Sharks learned a valuable lesson last week while at the same time managing to collect an equally valuable two points.

In the third period of a Wednesday, Oct. 2 home game against the Essex 73’s, the Sharks saw a three-goal lead disappear in a matter of four minutes. In the dying minutes of regulation however, the hosts regrouped, came up with the tiebreaker and fended off a late Essex surge to earn the 4-3 victory.

“We took a nap in the third and that gave them life,” explained Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale of the Essex comeback. “We were the better team for 50 minutes, but suffered some shell shock that let them get back into the game.”

Wheatley played an enthusiastic first period, where they outshot the Essex squad 10-9. The Sharks also generated more scoring chances, although Jax D’Hondt stood tall in goal to keep the first 20 minutes scoreless. At the other end, rookie netminder Kyle Metson faced some screened shots, but also contributed to the 0-0 stalemate at the first buzzer.

The home team’s persistence continued into the second stanza, where it was rewarded for the pressure applied to the 73’s’ defensive zone. On the power play, Drew Denomey rifled a quick wrist shot into the top left corner after being set up

by Dawson Iles and Mason Gow. As the period dipped into its final five minutes, the Sharks’ attacks continued to inflict damage on the scoreboard. In a wrap-

around, Iles banked the puck off D’Hondt’ts right leg and over the line for a 2-0 advantage. Lucas Poisson and Liam Sinasac assisted.

Thirty-seven seconds later, Colton Candido snapped a sharp-angled five hole shot over the line to give Wheatley a 3-0 lead at the second buzzer.

In a span of four minutes and one second, Connor Dembinski, Jack Sanko and Riley Meyerink turned a 3-0 Wheatley lead into a threeall deadlock, first on the power play and then with two at even strength. As the clock ticked down to 1:15, Denomey tapped a bouncing puck from a save against Iles and tapped it over the line for the win. Poisson was credited with the second assist.

D’Hondt was pulled for the sixth skater with 39 sec-

onds to go, but the Sharks’ defense prevailed to avoid overtime.

“We needed that win,” said Carnevale. “We had a rough week last week, letting four points get away from us. We needed something like this to get us back in the right direction.”

Wheatley outshot the 73’s 45-36 and went one for three on the power play while the visitors were one for five.

The challenging early October schedule for the Sharks continued Friday, Oct. 4 with a game at the Atlas Tube Centre against the Lakeshore Canadiens. The hosts came out on top with a 4-0 victory, bringing Wheatley’s record to 2-4-0-0.

Wheatley’s next home game will be played Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. against the Blenheim Blades.

Flyers soar past Stars

By Bryan Jessop

The Leamington Flyers have found that the best way to recover from a bad night on the road is with a good night at home.

Twenty-four hours after suffering an 8-4 loss at the hands of the Nationals in London, the Flyers returned to Highbury Canco Arena, where they finished on the more favourable side of a four-goal differential — a 5-1 win over the St. Thomas Stars. The victory kept Leamington undefeated at home and moved them back into a one-point lead for first place in the West, although the Nationals and St. Marys Lincolns both had two games in hand at the time.

Wyatt O’Neil kept his scoring touch rolling by outracing a Stars defender in a race for a rolling puck and then chipping it past Jack Randall for the 1-0 lead. Newcomer Kobe Seguin and Jaydon Fetter assisted. Leamington’s own Adam Jeffery found the top left corner from the right side to make it 2-0 after taking a feed from Fetter. Conner Federkow cut the Flyers’ lead in half with a wrist shot that beat Ryan Polidori’s glove with 74 seconds to go in the first, but that was as close as St. Thomas would get.

Cam Symons broke up a passing play while the “The pace here Stars’ defense was making a line change and used the is great. It’s a opportunity to zero in on Randall with a wrist shot high tempo game into the top right corner while shorthanded. Affiliate where everybody player Conor Dembinski later fired a low shot that hit traffic and then trickled undetected into the the left wants to win.” corner of the Stars’ goal. Lucas Fancy and Spencer — Kobe Lecot assisted.

Seguin The Flyers continued to dominate in the third, where despite playing mostly to protect their lead, managed to add another goal in the process. From the slot, Liam Hall spun around and took a swat at a bouncing puck, sending it through Randall and over the line. Fetter added his third assist of the evening while Seguin chipped in with his second.

“This team’s been great to me. Everyone’s so welcoming,” said Seguin, an 11th-round 2018 Priority Draft pick of the OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds who played last season with the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Soo Thunderbirds. “The pace here is great. It’s a high tempo game where everybody wants to win. So far, I’m loving it here.”

The previous night’s loss in London was the first game as a Flyer for Seguin.

“Last night was tough. Tonight was definitely a bounce back night for us,” Seguin said after the win versus St. Thomas. “We came out fast and didn’t let them get back into the game.”

“We didn’t play very well last night — we were sloppy,” added Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “Tonight, we were a lot better defensively. It was encouraging to hold them (St. Thomas) to one goal.”

The Flyers’ schedule treated them to a seven-day rest, sending them back onto the ice at Highbury Canco Arena for a Thursday, Oct. 10 match against the Strathroy Rockets starting at 7:10 p.m.

Setterington’s repeat as mixed league champs The Setterington’s Mixed Slo Pitch team won its second straight title last weekend.

The tournament began Saturday afternoon, Sept. 28, and Setterington’s bats were hot, thumping Breaking Bats by a score of 29-3.

Their next game on Saturday night saw the bats cool down while the team suffered a close 7-5 loss to a strong Jose’s team.

On Sunday morning, a slow start almost did in the champs but they hung on for a 7-5 win against Scared Hitless with the girls providing most of the scoring punch.

Sunday’s semi-final game was against a youthful Ying Yang team, but Setterington’s strong defense and clutch-hitting gave them a 8-3 victory.

The final game saw a rematch against an undefeated Jose’s team but this time, by taking an early lead and continued solid play in the field, Setterington’s walked away with a 6-2 victory and back-to-back titles.

A blend of experience and youth seems to bring this family-orientated (Road 2 Crew) success and enjoyment throughout the year.

Thank you to Jamie Nash and the entire Setterington’s Fertilizer family for their continued support in sponsoring the team. Also, thank you to Troy Whittle and his partners for convening the league this year.

Donald Murray Santor

1936 – 2019 Donald Murray Santor passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 22, 2019 in Ottawa, Ontario. He was 83.

Don was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1936. He and his three siblings, Marilyn, Bill and Noreen, were raised by their adoptive father, Andrew Santor, after losing their parents at an early age. Don completed an honours history degree at McMaster University in 1960 and started a long and fulfilling career in teaching in Leamington, Ontario.

In 1956, Don met Bernice Cressy through the United Church. They married in 1961 and together raised three sons, Darcy, Garth and Eric, in London, Ontario.

Don had a lifelong passion for teaching history. He is the author of The Canadiana Scrapbook Series of textbooks that are still being used by high school students across Canada. Don taught teachers how to teach history at the Faculty of Education at Western University, developed policy for the Ministry of Education, and taught high school history and religious studies at Banting and South Secondary Schools in London, Ontario, for almost three decades.

Don loved his family, his friends and living life. As a father of young children, he spent hours and hours playing Lego, building backyard hockey rinks, camping in parks across Canada, and serving as the Cub Scout leader of the 97thC. Don also loved his three daughtersin-law, Azijada, Trinh and Gefen, who grew up in Bosnia and Hercegovina, Vietnam and Israel. He was proud of the diversity they brought to his family.

Later in life, Don enjoyed reading biographies and discussing philosophy, hosting dinners and visits with his family, and chatting with just about anyone he ever met or ran into.

Don and Bernice were each other’s best friends.

They travelled together, enjoyed theatre together, and supported dozens of charities throughout their lives. He was a lifelong humanist and served for years on both the Multifaith Advisory Board and Ecumenical Study Commission on Religious Education. Don lived the last part of his life in the house that he and his family built in Grand Bend, Ontario.

Don will be remembered by his wife, Bernice, his three sons, three daughters-in-law and seven grandchildren, Benazir, Emil, Balian, Thomas, Kielan, Eleanor and Galen.

A celebration of Don’s life will be held at the Oakwood Inn in Grand Bend, Ontario, on Sunday, October 20, 2019 from 1 p.m. to 4 pm. Please join us to share some very fine memories and celebrate an extraordinary life.

The Kings’ Pavel Svoboda tries to jam the puck past Windsor goalie Zachary Uppleger during a GMHL game in Windsor Saturday, Oct. 5. Kingsville was defeated 4-3 and then 2-1 at home in overtime the next day by the Aces.

Kings lose close games to Windsor In two consecutive days, the Kingsville Kings came up on the wrong side of one-goal cliffhangers against their rival Windsor Aces.

The Kings were defeated 4-3 in Windsor Saturday, Oct. 5 and then in a 2-1 overtime decision on home ice the next day. The Aces owned the first period of Saturday’s game, where they scored four goals compared to Kingsville’s one. Pavel Svoboda made it 2-1 on passes from Jan Sefl and Bryce Tracey, but Windsor replied with two more, including a penalty shot in the final second.

The Kings crept back into the game in the second, where Dexter Gourlay and Zachary Dillen made it 4-2 and 4-3.

Kingsville’s offence was hampered by penalty trouble in

the third, where neither team made additions to the scoreboard.

Kingsville was outshot 51-46.

On Sunday, Cam Pickersgill of Windsor netted the only tally of the first period. Following a scoreless second stanza, Dillen tied the game for the Kings just over five minutes into the third. Zachery Hartig provided the game winner for the Aces in extra minutes. The Kings were outshot 48-41 in the loss, which brought their record to 5-2-0-2 in the South Division. With the losses, Kingsville sat in a tie for second place with the St. George team, which has three games in hand.

Special guest is Jackie Robtaille LEAMINGTON – Pat Robitaille, former founder of the critically acclaimed The Walkervilles, along with special guest, his sister Jackie Robitaille, will perform at The Bank Theatre this Friday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30. Whether you love soul, rock, or R&B, this concert has everything you need for the perfect date night in Leamington.

Toronto based singer, songwriter and producer Pat Robitaille’s career began in his early teens, songwriting and recording albums at home, the likes of which found their way to hit producer Ben Grosse. He soon landed in Los Angeles with a major production deal to record an album, also spending time in Nashville writing and touring with the critically acclaimed Muzik Mafia (Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich).

In the years to follow he released four studio albums which brought him on the road with The Tragically Hip, Peter Frampton, Sam Roberts Band, Matthew Good, The Beach Boys and dozens more. He also reached the #1 spot on the MuchMoreMusic countdown with his single No Superman.

Robitaille was a founder of the critically acclaimed rock/soul/R&B trio The Walkervilles. They were invited to join Tedeschi Trucks Band for a cross-Canada tour which saw them on stage at Massey Hall and many of the country’s legendary theatres after releasing their first LP. Their sophomore album was recorded in Austin, Texas, at Willie Nelson’s studio with Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar, Joel Plaskett, Govt Mule). Producer and industry guru Gordon Williams (Amy Winehouse, Santana, Lauren Hill) loved it and invited the band to his NYC studio to record a single. The creative connection was strong and one song quickly turned into an entire album. The band toured extensively in Canada, Europe, and the USA before disbanding in 2016.

Pat’s 2018 song ‘A Little Hope’ can be heard in the LOTTO 649 national campaign and his 2019 recording ‘Farewell’ can be heard on Staples new national ads. His cover of Velvet Undergrounds Venus in Furs was picked up by Netflix’s new smash series ‘YOU’ and featured in the pilot episode.

Pat’s sister Jackie Robitaille is a singer from Windsor. Jackie is a natural talent; the combination of her stunning voice and inspiring lyrics pack quite the punch!

The Bank Theatre is located at 10 Erie St. S., Leamington. Tickets are available at The Bank Theatre Box Office Thursday to Saturday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and online at www. banktheatre.com

1963 Thunderbird like new again Tim Beckett of Leamington is the proud owner of a Glacier Blue 1963 Thunderbird hardtop in showroom condition. Tim bought the car 19 years ago from Bill Glenn in Windsor.

Ten years later, Tim arranged a full restoration at the Guild of Automotive Restorers in Bradford. His T’Bird was one of the first cars featured on the Guild’s TV show “Restoration Garage.”

Tim was born in 1960 and has been a Ford man ever since he acquired the 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 289 V8 bought new by his parents in Amherstburg from Dingwall Ford in Windsor. When they purchased a new 1976 Ford Granada, the Fairlane was passed on to Tim. The timing THE was perfect because he had just turned 16.

OLD CAR I photographed Tim’s Thunderbird at the Third AnDETECTIVE nual All-Ford Car Show at the historic Essex Railway Station in the town of Essex on the afternoon of Friday, Bill Sherk June 7. His car brought back many pleasant memories for me because when his car was new, I was pumping gas at an ESSO station in Toronto and had the pleasure of filling the tank on many Thunderbirds just like the one that Tim owns today.

In the late ’50s and early ’60s, gas caps were hard to find because they were often hidden behind taillights or tailfins or license plates. The gas cap on Tim’s T’Bird is under a section of the rear bumper that rises up when pulled from the right. It is spring-loaded to return to its flat position on the bumper after the tank has been filled. Tim kindly demonstrated where it is and how it opens while I snapped his picture.

Under the hood of Tim’s Thunderbird is a 390 cubic inch V8 engine with four-barrel carb giving him all the horsepower he will ever need. The car also has power windows, power steering, power brakes, but no power seat. Air conditioning has been added.

Tim’s T’Bird in this body style was produced for three years, from 1961 to 1963. Its smooth lines and tastefully designed tailfins have made these cars highly collectible today.

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

How mulched leaves help your lawn

Various chores are synonymous with certain times of year. For example, cleaning a pool is a summertime task. In addition, rare is the instance that Mother Nature forces anyone to break out the snow shovels outside of winter. Raking leaves has long been a task for fall afternoons, but homeowners may be surprised to learn that they might be better off putting their rakes in permanent mothballs.

5 tips to beat the flu before it begins Professional Interior 519.791.3640

519.733.8411 • max2move.ca

(NC) School’s back in session and that means flu season is right around the corner. Even if you’ve got the perfect flu-free streak going, it’s important to take steps to prevent the flu so that you don’t risk spreading it to someone who can’t afford to get sick.

Children, seniors, children, people who are pregnant or have chronic medical conditions are especially vulnerable to the flu.

Let’s beat the odds this season with a few handy tips to boost immunity from Jacklyn Villeneuve, a registered dietitian: 1. Eat nutrient-rich foods. Eating well is one of the best ways to ensure that your body has the nutrients it needs for a strong immune system. Foods like citrus fruits and sweet peppers, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, and probiotics such as yogurt are rich in essential vitamins C, E and zinc, which are helpful allies in fighting off sickness. Consuming nutrient rich foods

over supplements provides the added benefit of also containing things like fibre, calcium and/or healthy fats, but before consuming any of these nutrient rich foods, don’t forget to wash your hands.

2. Get a good night’s sleep.

When your body is well rested, it’s more equipped to combat foreign germs that attack your immune system. Make sure to get lots of rest before you start feeling ill to keep your immune system ready for whatever comes your way.

3. Stay active. Working out has more benefits than just helping you stay in shape.

Staying active can also help boost your immune system, leading to a less likely chance that the flu will knock you down. People who exercise regularly may get fewer colds and recover faster.

4. Minimize stress.

Opposite to exercise, stress depletes the immune system. For this reason, it’s important to try to minimize your stress levels, especially at high-risk times. Both stress and the flu take a toll on the body, and experiencing one makes it more likely that you will experience the other.

Try practicing yoga or meditation to encourage relaxation.

5. Get your flu shot. While the above steps are important in helping us boost our immune systems, did you know that 70 to 90 per cent of flu cases can be avoided through vaccination? The best thing you can do is to get your shot each fall to beat the odds and protect those around us.

3 big home décor trends for fall 2019

B-3

(NC) This time of year isn’t just about books and backpacks – it’s also about giving your interior an update. Here’s a look at the top trends this autumn and how to try them at home to create beautiful rooms you will love.

Rich, luxurious spaces

After years of the cool, restrained style of minimalism, we are now embracing maximalism with interiors that are bold and dramatic. This trend means spaces that are warmer and richer, as we move to surround ourselves with our favourite things and mix and match elements and aesthetics. Think deep jewel-tones for wall colours and furnishings and layers of cozy, natural fabrics and materials.

Bold and artistic pieces

Similarity is out and incorporating unique, interesting items that tell a story and bring out your own personality is in. This means opting for more handcrafted or statement pieces that create visual interest and are anything but bland and boring.

Get the look at home by letting your creativity shine with furniture and décor that inspire you or you’ve always wanted to try, like a traditional clawfoot tub, luxe canopy bed or one-of-a-kind rustic tables made from reclaimed wood.

Conscious consumption

Forget buying something without a second thought as to where and how it was produced. Today it’s all about ethical and intentional shopping for items that are sustainable and well-made. When it comes to fluffy duvets, blankets and pillows, it’s never been easier to find locally sourced, humane and ethical down.

Fall in love with your dream home!

Tips to make fall gatherings a breeze (NC) With a quick shift in weather and jam-packed schedules, autumn can go by in the blink of an eye. Here are some tips to get ahead to make sure you enjoy every moment with friends and family: 1. Prep freezer meals. Cooler temperatures call for warm, comforting meals, which are easy to get ready. On Sundays, pull out the slow cooker or make a low and slow soup with seasonal ingredients. Make a few extra servings to freeze for busy weeknights, out-of-town company or send with kids heading away to school.

2. Take your car for a check-up. Many of us will be hitting the road this season, and whether it’s a short carpool to school or a long trip to grandma’s for a family feast, conditions can change quickly. It’s important to ensure everything in your car is running smoothly. While you’re at it, review your insurance policy to make sure you’re covered for the unexpected. It’s important to get a policy that’s right for your coverage needs – and wallet.

3. Set priorities. You may not be able to do it all, and that’s okay. On a regular basis, sit down with the family to determine the most important commitments and politely decline the things that may get in the way of enjoying the events you’re anticipating the most. This will allow you to dedicate time and attention where you want so you can fully enjoy and connect with loved ones.

Finding ways to be thankful for the whole family

(NC) Looking to make some new family memories this Thanksgiving?

With a holiday that celebrates the traditional harvest and blessings of the past year, get your crew into the spirit of giving back with some activities you can do together.

Consider contacting your local soup kitchen and offer to have your family cook and serve a meal. If possible, decide on the menu together and ensure everyone has an active role in the process, whether that’s chopping vegetables, assembling dessert or joining the clean-up crew.

You can also spend 15 minutes outside picking up litter together at your local park. This is a great chance to be active together and do something good for your neighbourhood.

Another idea is to divvy up the rooms in your house and gather all unused household items, clothes and accessories to give to others who likely need them more than you do. Even young children can get involved by being encouraged to donate their indoor and outdoor toys.

Not only are you bound to feel good for donating to the less fortunate, you’ll be reducing landfill waste.

Fall home fixes: What to DIY and what to leave to the pros

Interesting facts about fall

Weather is often the first indicator that the seasons are changing.

For many people across the globe, the hot days of summer will soon be giving way to the crisp days of fall.

For those who live in regions where summer only subtly gives way to fall or is seemingly gone before the end of August, the 2019 autumnal equinox occurs on September 23. That marks the official beginning of fall, also known as autumn. The fact that the season the follows summer goes by two different names is just one of many interesting facts about fall.

of daylight decrease and temperatures drop.

As a result, chlorophyll breaks down, the green colour disappears and the vivid colours of fall foliage begin to appear.

Squirrels have a (sophisticated) plan out there.

Squirrels hiding food in autumn for the upcoming winter is a familiar sight. And squirrels are more organized than many people may know.

Groundbreaking research released in 1991 found that, even when squirrels bury that stash of nuts closely to one another, they will each return to the precise location of their A season by personal cache. Recent any other name. research also has shown Fall is the term most that squirrels bury their often used to reference stash based on certain the season succeeding traits, such as the type summer in Canada and of nut being buried. the United States.

That said, there’s a reason certain experts are in high demand – they help ensure your home is safe and secure. Here’s what to tackle now and what to leave for a pro:

Do-it-yourself 1. Running toilets: Hearing your toilet run nonstop is frustrating, especially when you think about what it’s doing to your water bill.

In many cases, this is simply a case of adjusting the float or draining your toilet tank to replace the seal, a simple at-home fix with minimal expense at a hardware store.

2. Exposed leaky pipes: Similarly, a leaking pipe under your sink could be as easy as tightening a nut or coupling with simple clamps. However, if you suspect a leaking pipe in a wall, it’s probably time to call a plumber.

3. Clearing the eaves: As long as you’re comfortable on a ladder, a little elbow grease can go a long way for your pocketbook when it comes to this dirty job. Make sure you always follow all ladder safety rules and have a spotter while you’re up there.

4. Repairing drywall: A hole, whether from a nail or an accidental bump, can typically be repaired with putty and a spackle knife. A patch kit

Leave it to a pro 1. Fixing windows: Whether it’s a breeze coming in or a sticking window, it may be hard for an untrained eye to determine the source of a window issue. Secure windows keep your home warm and dry when the temperature drops and can keep your heating bill in check, so calling in a pro may be a wise investment.

2. Updating your insurance policy: If you’ve made changes to your home recently, it may be time to revisit your policy. Insurance brokers can help by shopping around for the right coverage and price.

Tasty turkey tricks

There’s nothing like a turkey sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. Here are some other delicious ways to enjoy turkey leftovers for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Turkey soup: For lunch or dinner, prepare a classic turkey soup recipe brimming with celery, carrots and onions. For a creamier version, make Mulligatawny Soup with curry powder, coconut milk, turkey, potatoes, spinach and garlic. Serve with warm naan bread.

Turkey salad: Combine chopped turkey with sliced apples, sliced cabbage, crumbled feta, Ontario cranberries, toasted pecans and a honey vinaigrette dressing for a tasty lunch.

Turkey curry: Simmer cubed turkey and Ontario butternut squash with thinly sliced leeks, minced garlic and coconut milk for a mild curry dish. Serve over rice.

Turkey dinner: Roasted vegetables, turkey and puff pastry come together in a Sheet Pan Turkey Dinner. See recipe on page 7.

Tips to make your homemade Halloween costume a hit (NC) With Halloween around the corner, many of us will be scoping out our closets and basements or hitting up family and friends for items to create the perfect costume for ourselves or the kids. Here are some tips to ensure your costume is a hit: Comfort is key. There’s no point having an awesome outfit if it’s uncomfortable to wear. Whether you’ll be hanging with friends or your kids are trick-or-treating door to door, make sure any getup is one that’ll last the night.

Give yourself enough time. Remember to scope out potential items for your costume well in advance so you’re not scrambling to put things together at the last minute.

Start with your own closet or garage. You can probably find everything you need at home. If not, don’t forget that secondhand and thrift stores often carry some super affordable clothing and items that can be used in a costume as well as used adult and children’s costumes.

Start with a theme or colour. Coming up with costume ideas can be overwhelming, so this is a great way to get those creative juices flowing. Themes can include animals, tv or movie characters, superheroes, and spooky or time-period inspired getups from the ‘60s, ‘70s or ‘80s. Sticking to a single colour from top to bottom – such as yellow for a sun, orange for a pumpkin or black for a witch – is also easy and fun.

Instructions In large bowl, toss together leeks, squash, corn, beans, oil, 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the thyme and half each of the salt and pepper. Spread on foil-lined baking sheet. Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add flour, remaining thyme, rosemary and remaining salt and pepper; whisk for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add turkey; pour over vegetables, stir to combine.

Unroll pastry sheet, leaving on parchment paper. Roll pastry into 10- x 12-inch (25 x 27 cm) rectangle; cut into 8 pieces. Prick all over with fork; arrange over top of filling. Lightly brush with egg. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve topped with thyme leaves.

Check the weather. If you’re venturing outdoors, equip yourself with a poncho, rain boots, mittens or whatever else will help you brave the elements and keep your costume intact.

When Halloween is over, consider donating instead of discarding your costume. If dressing up for Halloween isn’t your thing, your old wardrobe may provide the perfect inspiration to others.
