Light Up the Night Christmas Parade Saturday, November 30 is the big day – it’s the date of the Leamington 2013 Light Up the Night Christmas Parade!

“We’re happy to announce that this year’s parade is sponsored by our good friends at Windsor Family Credit Union,” said Sally McDonald, General Manager of the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce. “With their assistance and that of all the parade participants and sponsors, we are able to keep this a locally produced Christmas Parade.”

Prior to Saturday’s parade there will be a fundraiser on Friday night, November 15, at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens.

Tickets include dinner and rides, and are available at Blackburn Radio, Leamington District Chamber of Commerce office and Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. As well, there is a silent auction with proceeds going toward assisting with the cost of putting on the parade.

On Sat. Dec. 7, Santa will be at Windsor Family Credit Union’s Leamington location, 318 Erie St. S. Children will have the chance to have their picture taken for free with Santa, courtesy of the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce and Milestone Imagery. Photos will be taken on a first come first serve basis from 1 p.m.-3 p.m.

“Santa’s very busy, but we’ve been lucky enough to be able to get him to stop by for two hours the week after the parade, so children can have their picture taken with him,” said McDonald.

Light Up the Night Christmas Parade begins at 6 p.m. at Erie and Georgia streets. It then heads north on Erie Street to the Leamington Fairgrounds, and once again this year, Santa will Light Up the Night as he passes the Town Hall.

Future Hospice recruiting volunteers Volunteers at the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County give selflessly of their time, energy and resources to assist patients and families affected by life-altering diagnoses.

A volunteer information session is planned at Leamington District Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, November 13 at 6 p.m. This will be an opportunity for prospective volunteers to find out more about how they can help.

The evening will include a presentation about the Hospice, volunteer training and available roles in the Residential Home.

Bill to promote local food passes final vote Ontario is moving forward to help promote the good things that are grown, harvested and processed in Ontario with the Nov. 5 passage of the Local Food Act, 2013.

The new legislation is part of a strategy to build Ontario’s economy by making more local food available in markets, schools, cafeterias, grocery stores and restaurants. This will create jobs and expand the province’s agri-food sector.

The new legislation – the first of its kind in Canada – will increase local food awareness, and boost sales by setting local food goals and targets in consultation with sector partners. The act will also create a non-refundable tax credit of 25 per cent for farmers who donate their surplus harvest to eligible community food programs such as food banks, and proclaim a Local Food Week that will take place annually, beginning the first Monday in June.

Building a stronger agri-food industry is part of the government’s economic plan to support a dynamic and innovative business climate, invest in people and invest in infrastructure.

The Local Food Act will also require the government to produce an annual local food report on its activities to support local food.

The province’s agri-food sector contributes approximately $34 billion to the economy and supports more than 740,000 jobs across Ontario.

The province’s farmers produce more than 200 commodities, including fruits, vegetables, livestock, dairy, poultry, grains and oilseeds. Food processors in Ontario purchase about two-thirds of the food that is produced on the province’s farms.

Ontario’s Local Food Fund is part of a $30 million investment from the province to create jobs and support innovative local food projects over the next three years.

“The Local Food Act will benefit people by making the connection between buying local and helping grow an important Ontario industry. If we increase demand to homegrown food, we will create jobs and boost the agri-food sector’s contributions to our economy. It’s an important and historic step forward and I thank everyone who helped support this legislation,” Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario and Minister of Agriculture and Food.

New cutters to help save lives

By Sheila McBrayne Leamington Fire Services has updated its extrication equipment to the new Halmatro rescue tools.

“We’ve had the old Jaws of Life since the ‘80s. Cars have changed a lot since the ‘80s,” said Leamington Chief Chuck Parsons. The budgeted upgrade included two full sets of extrication tools to serve the community in cases of multi-vehicle accidents. The tools cost $30,000 per set.

The new extrication tools were to go into service on Monday, October 28, but during the training session on the

tools on Sunday, October 27, the Leamington Fire Department received a call where the tools were used. “They were definitely needed sooner than later, ” said Parsons.

The new tools are designed for use on newer vehicles and have enhanced features and capabilities that the 30-yearold Jaws simply did not have. “They served us well for 30 years, and hopefully these will last another 30 years,” said Parsons.

Leamington hosts Jamaican delegation to strengthen relationships On Tuesday, October 29 Leamington Mayor John Paterson and local grower Anthony Cervini hosted a delegation from Jamaica for the purpose of discussing positive steps that are being taken by the Jamaican government to strengthen the relationship between the Jamaican farm worker and local residents.

Mayor Paterson advised, “the action taken by the Jamaican government to ensure the migrant worker program continues to prosper by taking steps to address any negative issues speaks volumes of the commitment and sincerity of the Jamaican people”.

“We are here to exchange information and to discuss practical steps we can take together to foster the relationships between the Jamaican migrant workers and the local citizenry,” stated Minister Kellier.

To illustrate the importance of the meeting, Minister Kellier advised he and his colleagues were dispatched to Leamington by the Jamaican Prime Minister to ensure proper protocol is in place to strengthen the migrant worker program.

Minister Kellier advised that recent negative information

It’s touching “Red Rover, Red Rover, we call Shannon over.”

I used to dread my name getting called in the game Red Rover, especially as I got older and my classmates got stronger. It hurt to run belly first or heaven help me, breast first into the clenched fists that would either fling you back or spin you around onto the ground. I can’t say I liked having someone run into my hands at full speed either. I preferred to play square ball, where only if you weren’t paying attention would you chance a ball hitting your face, or flag football where my speed helped me to avoid contact.

My best grade school memories took place in the playground while swinging, climbing, skipping and running.

The weather dictated the activities that ranged from baseball with the arrival of spring and snowball fights with the first snowfall. At that time, we were allowed a designated snowball area. It was perfect because then you got to choose whether you wanted to chance losing an eye or not.

I shouldn’t joke about this because I came pretty close to losing one once and have the scar to prove it!

It amazes me that no one, to my knowledge, ever became concussed from hitting the dangerous steel swing posts with their head. Two of us on separate swings would entwine our legs while another couple of kids spun us around and around. When they let go we’d spin like a top and fly apart quickly, heading head first into a post or falling onto the concrete footings below. Dusting ourselves off and getting right back on the ‘horse’ was the natural thing to do.

I liked my own space and remember putting an imaginary line down the centre of my school desk if I happened to be sitting near a boy. This memory must have been prior to grade six or seven because the dividing line wasn’t as important in later years. We built snow forts in the schoolyard that were ‘girls only’ for the majority of my grade school years. Later, we envied the girls who were invited into the boys’ forts in grade eight! Those forts tended to melt quickly away with some reputations.

At home, I loved the day I finally had a room to myself.

Until then I was either in the brown room on a bunk with my brothers or in the blue room with my sisters. I vividly recall my sister and I having a line down the middle of our bedroom that divided our space, our stuff and especially our clothes.

From the moment humans are born, like all mammals we need and crave to be touched. People volunteer to hold premature babies in the hospital just for this reason. Touch is necessary for ‘normal’ development both physically and mentally or, as I say, physimentally. This new word of mine accepts the brain and all of its functions as equal and inseparable from the rest of our body.

“He touched me!” and “ that hurt!” are familiar distractions that parents and teachers have heard for generations.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

I learned through my interaction with my peers and the rules enforced both at home and at school exactly which behaviours were acceptable, unacceptable or inappropriate.

Hurting someone on purpose was never allowed. Touching, on the other hand, changed throughout the years. I walked SHANNON to school hand in hand with my MATHESON parent the first day of school.

In later years, I skipped together with my best friend, and by Lifestyles... grade eight I may have sneaked a walk hand in hand with a boy.

Hormones and the need to be touched will never change, but our rules have. Last week, I heard that a school in Windsor is totally banning any touching. No contact, hands free activities all day, including homework, television, video games and computer time at night all add up to life in a bubble.

One mother who called in to the radio program had to go to the school to pick up her daughter from kindergarten. She was caught holding hands with her little friend while skipping. After being told they couldn’t hold hands, they put their arms around each other. This normal action triggered a visit to the principal’s office! Then they were sent home because of their inappropriate behaviour.

How will we ever be able to properly teach our children what kind of touching is appropriate or inappropriate? If they are not allowed to be compassionate and affectionate at school, how will they be able to understand their own feelings and boundaries let along those of others? Regulations like these are inhuman!

I learned and continue to learn daily from teachers who give me a pat on the back and encourage me. When times are tough and tears flow, nothing compares to a hug. What message are we giving the next generation about touching if we can’t touch?

“We need touch just as much as sunlight, water, and food, A Gentle Touch can change your mood.

From Birth, we feel the Touch of our Mother’s Womb, With our Parents’ Touch, into an Adult we Bloom.

A Touch is a Body, Mind and Soul Connection, Its Effect on you is deeper than any Ocean.

In times of trouble, When U don’t know ‘what’ to Say, Just your touch, can make everything Okay.

A comforting hand squeeze, or a simple hug, Is a Healing touch, better than any medical drug.

A Tight Hug, could be a Strong Assurance, While a Nasty Push, can be a sort of Vengeance.

A daily Hug, from your loved ones, is Best, It helps you cross the day, full of Zest.

Reaching out and touching a person in despair, Is The Most Beautiful way to say, You Care.”

- The Miracle of A Human Touch

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Well, ‘tis the season, officially, I guess.

Now that Remembrance Day is over, folks can feel free to put up lights and trees without being called unpatriotic by others.

I don’t quite get that, but to each their own.

Putting up the tree doesn’t make me any less respectful of our veterans than those who wait until Remembrance Day is over. It’s those same veterans who earned me the freedom to put up my tree whenever I damn well want.

In fact, the tree is not up yet. That’s a job for my beloved, who will wait until I go north next week for my annual deer trip and then she will decorate the house for when I get back.

I’ve always loved Christmas, even though it’s been a stressful time for many years, at least financially. But we manage to get though and enjoy time with the family, or should I say, the families.

With each generation, you have even more families to consider when you’re planning your Christmas get-togethers. Our family is no different. The Ribbles officially stopped having a Ribble Christmas two years ago because so many were pulled in so many different directions. Trying to schedule a day when everyone could be there became as impossible as a Rob Ford re-election bid.

The Christmases of my childhood were filled with joy and anticipation, not necessarily for presents, but for visits from cousins, aunts and uncles.

Early on, I remember going to the old Ribble homestead and visiting my grandparents. My grandfather was bedridden with a debilitating stroke and I always took him a Jersey Milk chocolate bar, just to get a smile. Meanwhile, my grandmother was busy in their old-fashioned kitchen,

baking bread and sticky buns and stuff. Everything was old there, like a snapshot out of the pioneer days, from what I remember.

On my mom’s side, we MARK spent time at my Aunt RIBBLE Polly’s house, where all the cousins would gather for the feast. My uncle Rib’s Bob Sovie would make Ramblings his usual appearance, for about 15 minutes, looking for a radish or stalk of celery to munch on, then be on his merry way. I guess you could say he was kind of like Santa himself, except for the gifts. My grandma Elsie Sovie always made plum pudding with rum sauce at Christmas and I loved that stuff. I don’t think I’ve had it since she passed away.

As we grew older, the Sovie side stopped getting together at Christmas, just as my generation has done now. I think there comes a time when the family gets so big that you don’t have room for everyone, not to mention the logistical nightmare of trying to pick a good day.

Today, as I tune into 100.3 and have the Christmas music blaring on my way to work, I also remember putting that station on every November 1 at the Leamington Post, annoying some of my co-workers but bringing smiles to the faces of others. Christmas music just does that to people, or at least to me. It reminds of Christmases past, with hope for Christmases future.

Did you notice? Not once did I say ‘holiday time’ instead of Christmas.

Don’t get me started on that subject again.

The first ceremony at the modern Cenotaph at Memorial Park, 1989.

Remembrance Day services at the Cenotaph’s former location in front of the First Baptist Church, 1980.

Honouring vets at Leamington’s historic cenotaph

the area’s war heroes.

The monument remained where it was until 1971 when a survey of the intersection of Talbot St. W., Mill St. W. and Fox St. found that the Cenotaph had an encroachment onto the roadways. Thus the park was reconfigured so it was larger, and while the Cenotaph was moved slightly its base underwent a number of changes.

Another plan for a larger park for the Cenotaph was conceived in 1974 to coincide with Leamington’s Centennial, but the idea never was developed.

In 1988, as Talbot Street West was being reconstructed, town and Legion officials decided it was time to move the monument to Memorial Park. The firm of Bambino Longo was awarded the project tender for a sum of $55,000. Both the Legion and town assumed the costs with each paying half.

The initial move took place in September when the Cenotaph was moved from its site and put into storage until the new location at Memorial Park was ready. By November 11th that year the Cenotaph was relocated to the spot where all Remembrance Day ceremonies have been held ever since. While the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 84 has moved, its members and Leamington’s citizens still congregate at the Cenotaph every November to honor those men and women who made the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives so that we may enjoy life as it exists today Mark Your Calendar! 7th Annual in Leamington, Canada and the free world.

In Leamington, honoring our veterans has been a tradition that dates back 95 years to an era prior to the creation of the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 84 in 1926.

Prayers and remembrance of veterans were simple affairs during the years 1919 to 1921. In 1921 a war memoC. SCOTT rial was placed at the four corners.

Its original place was on a small, triangular parpast... cel of land owned by the Town of Leamington, located in front of the First Baptist Church and known as the Baptist Church Park. The monument, composed of Canadian grey granite, stood 14 feet high and sat on a base measuring 15 feet by 18 feet. The base itself was four feet thick, 30 inches of which were above ground. Frank J. O’Heron designed and created the towering memorial on which the words “Lest we forget, erected in the memory of the men and women of Leamington and Mersea who gave their lives for King and Country 1914-1918.”

NOVEMBER MATTRESS SALE!

NOVEMBER 1ST - NOVEMBER 30TH (ONLY)

Mrs. Stephanie Langille approached Jenny Darowski-Melnick of Leamington District Memorial Hospital and asked if “The Comfort Closet” could help patients at LDMH with items of necessity. The Hospital Auxiliary worked with Mrs. Langille to establish a list of items that would benefit patients while in hospital. Since this was a great success, The Comfort Closet will look to donate to LDMH each year. Bayley Langille submitted this article for the Hospital Newsletter: -----------------------------------My name is Bayley Langille and Stephanie is my mom. I am 11 years old.

I have lots of friends and like to play soccer. I have twin brothers who are 17 and I am very thankful for the friends and family that I have.

Last year at Christmas my mom’s boss Guido from Great Northern Hydroponics was collecting donations for a Windsor Hospital and it was called “The Comfort Closet.” They were asking for scarves, toiletries, puzzle books, crayons, markers and small items to make someone’s stay at the hospital more comfortable. Sometimes people come to the hospital and don’t have family that can bring them things they need. I took some of my own money and went and purchased some scarves, colouring books, puzzle books, crayons, shampoo and soap to donate. I can’t imagine not having these things and not having someone to bring them to me.

I was thinking about Thanksgiving and everything I was thankful for Baylay Langille and wanted to do the same thing for my hometown hospital. I challenged my church, the Leamington United Church to bring in items to help make someone’s stay more comfortable and be thankful for the friends and family they had. Before, when I had to come to the emergency department, I wished I had a colouring book and crayons to use. Over two weeks I received four bags of things from the people at my church. I am also grateful for the church helping me get lots of things for the hospital.

I would like this program to continue and would like to do it at least once a year.

The Southpoint Sun - 7

Indoor plant care during the winter

Students at M.D. Bennie Public School held a read-a-thon onThursday, October 31. As this was Halloween day, students and staff were invited to dress as their favourite book character. As part of the read-a-thon, an assembly was held with prizes awarded, followed by guest readers.

Leamington Fire Services Acting Captain Derrick Clark was one of the guest readers on Oct. 31 at M. D. Bennie’s read-a-thon.

M. D. Bennie’s Marlene Augerman was dressed as the Cat-in-the-Hat as she read to the Grade 3 students.

Now that the cold temperatures have arrived, your houseplants should be inside and making adjustments to the indoor environmental changes. Some plants will continue to drop leaves until they become adapted to the indoor climate and humidity. As long as there is new growth, BILL leaf drop is normal so don’t worry.

PLUMB Houseplants that have been outside for the summer become used to a lot of sunlight so make sure when moving indoors to maximize the sunlight, but be careIn the ful as the glass in the windows will magnify the sun back yard... and cause damage. Plants placed more than 3 feet away from the window receive medium light, and up to 5 feet away receive low light, so adjust your plant placement according to the plant’s requirements.

Because plants are inside and receive lower light, they in turn require less water than when they are outside. Always have your plants in a well-drained container and never let it sit in water. This will cause root rot. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again.

Watch your plants closely for insects. A simple solution is to spray with dish soap in a hand sprayer. When using soap, be sure not to use anything with an antibacterial mixture.

Sunlight dish soap works the best.

Another simple method to control insects in the soil is to totally submerge the entire pot in warm water, forcing the insects to float to the top making it easier to scoop them out.

The most common insects found are aphids, white fly, spider mites, scale and mealy bug. Organic insecticidal soap spray will help control these problems.

Most houseplants don’t need fertilizer during the winter months or during a dormant stage. If the new leaves are small or yellow in colour it is best to use a water-soluble fertilizer, 5-10-5.

During the winter, mist the leaves to keep dust from accumulating. To mist larger plants, place them in the shower using warm water.

One of the main questions asked about houseplants is: “Should I transplant in a larger pot?” The answer: not always. Look at the root structure by removing the container. If the plant is root bound, then yes. But if there are hardly any roots to be seen, then no. When the plant is root bound, loosen the root ball slightly, being careful not to be too aggressive when cutting or breaking the roots as over manipulation will kill the plant.

WSO Maestro Robert Franz makes Leamington debut

By C. Lloyd Brown-John Robert Franz, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra’s (WSO) new Conductor (Maestro), launched his Leamington debut in the second half of a spectacular evening of fine classical music on Saturday, November 2 at Leamington United Mennonite Church on Oak Street.

The concert was entitled “Serenades” and featured only two compositions: Mozart’s “Serenade No. 10”, known as the “Grand Partita”, and, TchaiWindsor Symphony Orchestra (WSO) performed a truly spectacular concert Saturday evening, Nov. 2, at the Leamington United Menkovsky’s “Serenade for Strings”. nonite Church on Oak Street on Saturday evening.

Coats for Kids helps keep 705 individuals warm this winter

Open House 3rd Annual

South Essex Community Council (SECC) has concluded another very successful Coats for Kids campaign, serving 217 families (705 individuals). Of the 974 coats collected, 802 were given away – 470 winter coats and 332 spring coats. Also given away were 84 pairs of snow pants and 724 accessories. Coats for younger boys in size 6-12 range are still needed and SECC volunteers are working on getting some more boys’ coats to meet the need of those who didn’t get one.

SECC expressed special thanks to Fletcher’s Cleaners, Kennedy Cleaners and Canopy Cleaners for so generously cleaning all the coats, as well as to the many volunteers who helped out and the businesses who made a special effort of having a coat drive this year.

Leamington Br. 84 Legion news

By Pat Simpson The Remembrance Day Service was held on Monday, November 11. Leamington Legion Br. 84 would like to thank the many veterans and members of the public who participated in the Service. Also, a special thank you to all the students from Leamington District Secondary School who lined the street and joined in behind the veterans and Legion members that were marching to the Cenotaph.

Many students were carrying small banners with the individual names of those who lost their lives in combat. It was truly inspiring to see so many students participating and the veterans were pleased to see them.

Special thanks to the LDSS Band, the Air Cadets, the students that assisted with the wreath presentations, and to the students who read “In Flanders Fields”. It was really nice that so many came back to the Branch after the Service to enjoy a terrific lunch prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary.

The Legion would also like to thank the businesses in the uptown that displayed the Poppy/Lest We Forget posters in their windows.

The Executive and Members of Branch 84 would like to extend sincere sympathy to the family of Shelly Nantais, who passed away last week after a courageous battle with cancer. Shelly was a dedicated, hard working member of Branch 84.

She will be missed.

Two new members joined the Legion last week – welcome to Connor and Michael. New young members will be the future of the Legion.

You can be an Early Bird – dues for 2014 are due soon.

Junior Darts are played every Saturday morning at the Branch. Open to all children between 7-18.

There will be an Executive Meeting on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.

Kids Christmas Party for children and grandchildren of members is Dec. 15.

Members Christmas Party will be on Dec. 21. Details to follow at a later date.

BANK NOTES

$250,346 in water source protection grants

10 ERIE STREET SOUTH LEAMINGTON 519-326-8805 John Ziler’s 1965 Falcon 4-door sedan, still just like new!

Five municipalities in the region will receive source protection grants totaling at least $250,346 to help them implement local actions to protect drinking water sources. Grants range from $18,000 to $100,000.

Source protection planning was a recommendation of the Walkerton Inquiry. In 2000, seven people died and over 2,000 became sick after drinking contaminated water supplied by the Walkerton Drinking Water System.

Municipalities across the province are taking steps to protect wellhead areas and water intake zones such as upgrading fuel tanks to provide more protective spill containment and engineering stream banks to protect water from runoff and erosion.

Municipalities will also develop education and outreach programs about threats to their local drinking water supplies and best practices for dealing with these threats.

There are 19 source protection regions across the province. Receiving funding in this area are County of Essex ($42,742), Lakeshore ($32,801), ChathamKent ($75,000), Tecumseh ($30,000), and Amherstburg ($69,80).

1965 Ford Falcon with 13,000 original miles Ever notice how some stories just seem to jump right off the page? Such is the story that arrived recently from John Ziler, who lives near Ailsa Craig, a small town within easy driving distance of Sarnia: “I bought my 1965 Falcon three years ago. I had tried one out in 1965 but just having my first job, I couldn’t afford the monthly payments so had to settle for a Volkswagen. And now, 44 years later, I purchased this one. It has no options except an automatic and came with a 170 cubic inch six cylinder motor. When I bought it, it had just over 10,000 miles. It now has 13,000 miles on it.

“It was bought new in 1965 from Eastway Ford in Hamilton and still has the original dealer sticker, owner’s manual, and sales brochure. The man who bought it new in March 1965 worked for Ford in Oakville and helped build the car. He died in December of that year and his wife put it in the garage where it stayed for 40 years. The cats were getting into the car so she put a rug over the hood. Obviously surface rust developed under the rug but the rest of the car was quite rust free.

“When his wife died, the daughter gave the car to her nephew, who was going to put a V8 in it and race it. Fortunately, someone told him this would be terrible to do to such an original car. He put a new tank in it, new lines, and new tires. I just replaced the original exhaust pipe and it still has the original brake shoes.

“When I purchased it, I just wanted to have the front painted and leave the remainder original but there was no guarantee that the paint would match so I had the whole car painted in the original colour. It is a great car to service and drive and a wonderful ‘barn find.’ ” It’s interesting to note that John Ziler purchased a Volkswagen when he discovered he could not afford a new Falcon when he wanted one in 1965. It was the popularity of the Volkswagen in the 1950s that prompted the Big Three to bring out compact cars beginning in 1960: the Corvair from General Motors, the Valiant from Chrysler, and the Falcon from Ford. The first Falcons had a six cylinder of only 144 cubic inches cranking out 90 horsepower.

By 1965, you could order a new Falcon with a six or an eight.

Chris Fazekas – Chris, a Leamington native, is no stranger to the stage, having performed in Leamington, Kingsville, and Windsor during the past twenty years. He is thrilled to play the role of Lawrence - the photographer responsible for the pictures in the calendar. While Chris admires the courage of the real-life calendar girls, he is pleased to be keeping his clothes on!

Ray Silvius – Originally from Windsor, Ray has lived in Kingsville for the past 20 years. Since he and his entire family caught the theatre bug in 2009, Ray has been involved in over a dozen productions. Some of his favorite roles include Oliver Warbucks in Annie, Russel Tinsworthy in 9 to 5, Mr. Lawrence in Little Women and his first villainous role, Herr Zeller in The Sound of Music. When not acting, Ray enjoys his Sr. Systems Analyst position with H. J. Heinz of Canada.

Fundraiser for Aubri’s Angels November 29 Aubri Andre is the 7-year-old daughter of Phil and Lisa (nee Guenther) from Leamington. She has one younger brother, Jaxon, and one younger sister, Averi. On August 13, 2013, she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia after Lisa received a phone call from her doctor following some morning blood work. In the months prior Aubri often complained of leg pain. Lisa had her checked out by the doctor who had informed her it was most likely growing pains. Weeks before her diagnosis Aubri was really sick. Lisa brought her to the doctors and was told it was dehydration and heat stroke. Aubri never did recover from that illness and started to have joint pain all over. A couple of days before her diagnosis Aubri was having a hard time walking, in extreme pain, had no appetite and her energy was non existent. Lisa had brought her to the doctors first thing in the morning and then her doctor ordered blood work for the next morning. That evening Lisa received the phone call that would change their lives forever. She began receiving chemotherapy treatment immediately at the London Children’s Hospital in Ontario. While her oncologist sadly informed Aubri’s parents that she would need chemotherapy treatment for the next 2.5 years, she predicted a 90% probability of success. Aubri went through constant blood work daily (sometimes up to 3 times per day), spinal

tap and bone marrow aspiration.

However, one month later on September 13, after the oncologists received the results from the first bone marrow aspiration Aubri was diagnosed with a second form of leukaemia, Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia. CML is considered rare for any child to have as it is found more commonly in adult male patients. Just recently (October 1) the oncologist has updated her diagnosis. They are giving her the official label as High Risk ALL with rare Chromosomal Transmutation. She does not have CML, but this new diagnosis is the same in severity. She is being treated with CML chemo along with ALL chemo.

The chromosomal transmutation happened before chemo (from her original bone marrow aspiration on August 16). It is very common for chromosomal transmutation to happen because of chemo in leukemia patients, but rare for it to happen before. Also, it is extremely rare for someone to have chromosomal transmutation between chromosomes 9 and 12, it is usually 9 and 22 (which creates the Philadelphia Chromosome). So the oncologists are treating her as if she has the Philadelphia Chromosome in hopes that it will work the same. Aubri’s predicted length of treatment has been increased to 3.5 years, and the probability of success is unknown. “With the second leukemia, we went from two and a half years and 90% success rate to three and a half years and an unknown success rate,” said Aubri’s Aunt Sarah Guenther.

Aubri is a Grade 2 student at Gore Hill Public School where several fundraisers have been held to support the family. Local business C.A. Bailey and Heinz have also held raffles and fundraisers for Aubri. “I know Phil and Lisa are extremely grateful to the community and appreciate all the prayers.

This month the Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee (LAERC) has some exciting news.

First of all, an evening of entertainment followed by dinner will be presented by members of the Leamington Karen Community on Sat. Nov. 23, 4:30 p.m., at Knox Hall, Presbyterian Church. A freewill offering will be welcomed, with half going to LAERC and half to help cover the cost of the meal. They encourage everyone to attend as their way of saying thank you to the community for the kindness shown to them.

The second news is really exciting. LAERC will be welcoming a new family – Mom, Dad and two-year-old twin daughters – on Thurs.

Nov. 28. The family is of Burmese decent but has been living in a refugee camp in Malaysia for the last few years. They were sponsored by the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

LAERC is always looking for more volunteers, young and old, to assist with this exciting humanitarian project.

For more information call Carolyn Reid 519326-6776.

Even though there have been rumors going around that the Red Hat Ladies no longer exist, that is far from the truth. At one time there were 50 chapters in Essex County alone, and there are still quite a few groups getting together and having fun. That’s what the Red Hat Ladies are all about.

A local chapter, the Scarlett Shady Ladies of Leamington, has ten members and gets together once a month for lunch, as well as celebrating holidays such as Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and Christmas. The group enjoys dressing up according to the theme and just having fun. Periodically, they will get an invitation to a spectacular party another chapter is hosting, including the Chapeau Rouge Christmas party in December in Windsor, the Divas of Distinction Red Solo Cup party, and recently a Caribbean party hosted by a chapter in Chatham.

The age stipulation is that a member must be 50 years old to be a Red Hatter. New members are welcome. Attire consists of red hats and purple clothes. When it is the month in which a member has a birthday, she wears a purple hat and red clothes to signify that she has a birthday that month. Members’ ages in various groups in the area range from 50 years to 95 years of age, and one gal in the local group just celebrated her 94th birthday and never misses a luncheon or a party.

So, if anyone wonders what’s going on with the Red Hat Ladies, they are still very much in existence and you just might see a bunch on your next outing!

Adrian Ninaber, a Kingsville resident and pastor at Calvary Fellowship Baptist Church in Leamington, performs a squat lift (left) and a dead lift (below) during the Powerlifting World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Ninaber took first place in his age and weight category and set a new world record for combined lifts in the squat, dead lift and bench press categories.

Ninaber wins World Powerlifting Championships

By Bryan Jessop Kingsville resident and pastor of Leamington’s Calvary Fellowship Baptist Church Adrian Ninaber has once again lifted his way to the top.

Entered in the 55- to 59-year-old, 110 kg weight class, Ninaber hoisted 220 kg (485 lbs.) in the squat, 160 kg (352 lbs.) in the bench and 265 kg (585 lbs.) in the dead lift for a world record-breaking 645 kg (1,422 lbs.) in the unequipped classification. The previous record in the age/weight group — established by Ninaber during last year’s World Drug Free Powerlifting Championships in Boston — was surpassed by five pounds.

“I really messed up on the bench,” Ninaber said.

“I over-trained for that one. The big thing about being an athlete is learning to train properly. It’s a bit of a science — everybody’s different.”

Don’t for a second think that minor hockey is the only players who live just around the block from you and Strength in numbers with collective level of the game where it happens. You’ll know thusly should be your teammates rather than opponents.

As a teenager, I always used to get BRYAN a real kick (no pun JESSOP intended) out of old martial arts movies, especially the ones Jessop’s filmed in the ‘70s. It Journal was common practice for a few friends and I to rent or better yet find one on public access television late at night (the latter of course were free to watch, although rewinding wasn’t an option).

One individual from our little group actually used to argue the fact that it was entirely plausible for one fighter to beat the tar out of a dozen enemies at the same time. His stance on the matter was subject to constant criticism and ridicule from the rest of us, who were always quick to point out that in the real world, 12 dirtbags aren’t going to stand and wait to get clobbered one at a time. In the real world, they’ll all jump the solitary victim at the same time and pummel him no matter how strong or nimble he might be.

As the old proverb goes, there is both strength and safety in numbers. Unfortunately, in non-professional team sports, the numbers aren’t always there.It’s why both high school and minor sports organizations divide teams into groups, leagues or tiers derived from population bases of similar size. Unfortunately, in rural environments such as ours, there often aren’t enough ‘A’ or 1A teams to make a division of, forcing teams from smaller schools or communities to play opponents representing larger centres.

It’s the main reason the Southpoint Minor Hockey Association, Erie North Shore Minor Hockey Association and Essex Minor Hockey Association are considering amalgamating from three ‘A’ centres into one ‘AA’ group.

It stands to reason that such a strategy would allow the new travel system to be more competitive with larger Bluewater League teams like Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle and Belle River. I didn’t play much travel hockey as a kid, so I can only imagine how frustrating it would be for Capitals squads to play against a team like Belle River, equipped

Hockey is a game where the average shift should last well under a minute — in many circumstances, an exhausted first-line is no match for a well-rested fourth line. It was years ago (alright, decades actually), but I still remember what it was like to play a game where there was only one — even zero — players on the bench. By the end of the first period, your arms and legs felt like there were made of lead and your lungs felt like they were about to explode. Some players even took penalties just to catch a quick breather.

While playing peewee house league hockey in Wheatley, I remember a Saturday afternoon where we marched into the dressing room after just finishing a game. I was just about to start unlacing my skates when one of the coaches walked in and asked me and one other player if we’d be willing to play for Wheatley’s bantam team that was about to start a game against Tilbury. Flattered by the offer, we were both quick to say “yes” although even then I suspected the selections were made based on our size and the assumption that we were the least likely to get hurt rather than our skills. With the one-time recruitment, our bantam team was able to muster a roster of seven skaters.

We lost 5-2, but it was easily one of the most thrilling (albeit nerve-wracking) games I’ve ever played. I even scored one of our two goals. It was nothing more than dumb luck — I recall the Tilbury goalie being heavily screened at the time — but I certainly felt like Gretzky at the time. After receiving words of praise from older teammates, I’m surprised I was able to pull my sweat-soaked helmet off my over-inflated head.

For many teams, a painfully short roster isn’t so random a problem. The Southpoint-ENS-Essex amalgamation, should it proceed, wouldn’t be the first joining of forces to address the dwindling numbers problem. Leamington and Wheatley of course became Southpoint about 20 years ago and Kingsville and Harrow became Erie North Shore far more recently. Tilbury also had to amalgamate with Chatham to become the Kent Cobras not too long ago. It’s a vicious cycle — players abandon the program because their teams can’t compete and teams can’t compete because too many players abandon the program. Frustrating to say the very least.

what I mean if you caught last week’s Leamington Flyers game against St. Marys. After a few fighting misconducts and an injury, the Lincolns, who started the game without a backup goalie, were reduced to 10 skaters. To make matters worse, they showed up with a handful of call-ups from their midget and Junior ‘C’ affiliates. They had practically no chance against the relatively-healthy Flyers, but I’ll give those players credit for giving it everything they had.

I won’t go so far as to state that a short bench is the kiss of death for a junior hockey franchise, but I remember watching a Flyers game many years ago during their Junior ‘C’ days. They hosted an Amherstburg Vikings team that showed up with barely two lines to START the game.

It wasn’t long afterward that the team folded. So far, it looks like the reborn (or at least relocated) Amherstburg Admirals are having more luck. Let’s hope it stays that way.

I’ll admit that I’m always puzzled to see an abbreviated roster at the junior level. You’d think that midget travel players in those vicinities would jump at the chance to prove themselves worthy of playing at a level so few can crack. I’ll have to assume that most scratches are discovered/announced at the last minute, giving coaches next to no time to find temporary replacements.

Getting back to minor hockey, amalgamation’s biggest drawback has to be the travel time involved for many players just to play a HOME game. Back in “the day,” an entire season of house league would be played in the same arena.

Now even local league players have to travel all over the county to find opposition. Perhaps the time has come for governing bodies such as the Ontario Hockey Federation and Ontario Minor Hockey Association to sit down and take a long, hard look at the declining registration numbers. A bit of brainstorming on how to reduce sign-up fees might be a good start.

If you think travel times are ridiculous now, wait until your grandkid’s Windsor-Essex-Kent-Lambton-Middlesex-Elgin team plays its first road game against its divisional St. Catharines-Thorold-Welland-Niagara Falls-Port Colborne-Fort Erie rival.

The Southpoint Sun - 23

Amalgamation discussed for Southpoint minor hockey

By Bryan Jessop Twenty years after Leamington and Wheatley minor hockey systems combined to form Southpoint, amalgamation may once again become reality for travel players in the same area.

Town hall-style meetings were held last week for the parents and players of three local minor hockey systems that may join forces to make a new ‘AA’ travel organization out of Southpoint, Erie Northshore (Kingsville-Harrow) and Essex associations. Discussions and plans for a new threeinto-one association are being considered primarily as a solution to decreasing numbers in players trying out for travel teams, a problem that is considered both the cause and effect of less-competitive teams in the OMHA’s Bluewater travel league.

“We’re being proactive in an attempt to make our situation better,” said Southpoint Minor Hockey Association president Greg Dries. “We’re not trying to force anything through at all. It’s better than not doing anything at all.”

Currently, only one Southpoint travel team — the major midgets — are experiencing a winning 2013-14 season.

A public meeting for SMHA parents was held at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex on Monday, Nov. 4, followed by a similar meeting for Erie Northshore parents in Kingsville on Wednesday, Nov. 6. A meeting for Essex parents was held later during the week. Dries noted that much of the feedback from the Southpoint meeting was understanding of the amalgamation committee’s desire to create an ‘AA’ association that would prevent Southpoint players from playing for nearby ‘AA’ centres.

“We’ve always lost some players to ‘AAA’ hockey, but with loosened NRP movement rules, we’re now losing them to ‘AA’ too,” Dries said.

The SMHA president noted that there were concerns about increased travelling distances for home games and practices, more so from the Wednesday meeting for Erie Northshore, which merged ‘BB’ Kingsville and ‘B’ Harrow two seasons ago to become an ‘A’ centre. Although the amalgamation wouldn’t stop players from the new association from joining the ‘AAA’ Sun County Panthers, it would put an end to Southpoint losing players to Belle River’s ‘AA’ system.

Dries noted that less stringent Ontario Hockey Federation legislation for non-residential players (NRPs) has made it easier for youths living in the Southpoint catchment area to play elsewhere to engage in competition at the higher classification, a problem also experienced in Essex. He explained that while only three Southpoint-region players are playing ‘AA’ elsewhere this season, the effect could easily be compounded in future seasons.

Frustrated by unproductive seasons, several players have also moved to local league levels or even quit playing hockey altogether, Dries noted.

For 2013-14 preseason tryouts, all Southpoint teams except minor midget and major midget were greeted with a

critically low number of players. Including goalies, Capitals teams were greeted by the following numbers for tryouts: • novice — 25; • atom minor — 20; • atom major — 13; • peewee minor — 20; • peewee major — 12; • bantam minor — 16; • bantam major — 16; • minor midget — 30; • major midget — 33.

Dries said that if some of these numbers continue to decrease, minor and major teams will have to merge into a single major team, making it even tougher for what will be younger teams to compete against Bluewater ‘AA’ rivals such as Belle River, Windsor, Tecumseh, LaSalle and Kent.

In order for amalgamation to take effect, each of the three affected associations must receive an approval vote with a two-thirds majority. Each parent with a child or children in one of the three associations is granted a single vote, as are board members, coaches, trainers and managers in the SMHA, ENSMHA and EMHA regardless of whether or not they have children playing for the Capitals, Storm or Ravens.

Votes will take place for each of the three associations in either December 2013 or January 2014. In the event of a successful vote, the three groups must have their amalgamation request on the OMHA annual general meeting agenda

by March of next year in order for the new association to take effect for the start of the 2014-15 season. The OMHA AGM is scheduled for June.

Local league and girls hockey systems within Southpoint, Essex and Erie Northshore will not be affected by amalgamation. At these levels, the Capitals, Ravens and Storm will continue to act as rival teams while travel groups will include ‘AA’, ‘A’ and with numbers permitting, an ‘AE’ team at each age division.

The idea to combine the three associations into one came about three years ago after unsuccessful attempts to do the same for Amherstburg/LaSalle and Tecumseh/Belle River. Local OMHA representative Craig Lane noted that

similar amalgamations have taken place in Halton Hills and Georgetown as well as Kent, the latter a recent combination of Chatham and Tilbury associations.

The amalgamation committee overseeing the process is made up of three executives from each of the existing associations. Southpoint is represented by Dries, SMHA vice president Greg Liebrock and director of travel Brian Ford.

Representatives of Amherstburg minor hockey have asked to be kept up to date on the progress of the amalgamation plan.

Another concern voiced regarding the fusing of Essex, Erie Northshore and Southpoint groups is the future of Wheatley Area Arena. The official amalgamation website — www.amalgamation2015.com — explains that travel games and practices would primarily be held evenly between the six existing pads in Leamington (2), Essex (2), Kingsville and Harrow. Dries however noted that with only 190 of the SMHA’s current 580 players in the travel system, the WAA would still be required for local league and girls practices and Saturday games.

“We definitely need it,” Dries said of the Wheatley rink.

“With so many local league teams plus girls teams, Wheatley is very important.”

Dries assured that if amalgamation goes through, the new association would consist of equal representation of the three former travel systems, with a board of directors number 15 people — five from each region.

Sharks pass another endurance test

By Bryan Jessop The Wheatley Sharks wrapped up another three games in four days marathon with another impressive collection of points, this time taking each of a possible six points with three wins in four days.

The most recent triad of games ended with a 6-5 shootout victory over the visiting Blenheim Blades, capping a successful stint that included a Friday night 4-3 regulation win in Belle River and a 3-2 overtime victory in Amherstburg.

The Monday, Nov. 11 contest at Wheatley Area Arena started on a strong note for Blenheim’s power play, as Drew Marlatt sent a rebounding puck past Conner MacKinnon 22 seconds into his team’s first man advantage of the night. Dylan Enns evened the score after one-timing a Ryan Zsebok pass from behind the net past Justin Pratt from directly in front of the net. Scott Florence also drew an assist.

The Blades regained their one-goal advantage 17 seconds later, when Cam Aitken sent an ice-level shot past a sprawling MacKinnon. The Sharks replied with their first of three power play tallies, as Cale Phibbs snapped a rebound into an open left half of the Blades’ net after Pratt made the initial save. Jimmy Ciacelli and Mike Reid drew assists.

The second period unfolded in much the same fashion as the first, again Your Local Full Service Insulation Company for Over 30 Years starting with a Blenheim 5HVLGHQWLDO ,QGXVWULDO &RPPHUFLDO ,QVWLWXWLRQDO $JULFXOWXUDO goal. The Blades forwards forced a turnover near the Wheatley blue line, giving Aaron Pastorius a chance to chip a low shot over the goal line from immediately in front of MacKinnon’s “NEW” crease after 69 seconds of Ultimate Bath play.

puck past MacKinnon for a 4-3 lead. Enns took advantage of a Florence pass sent across the Blades’ crease to poke home his second of the night with 40 seconds remaining. Antonio Ciampa also assisted.

Blenheim again struck early in the period as Mitch O’Hanley wired a wrist shot that struck the Shark net’s left post and crossbar before soaring over the goal line for a 5-4 Blenheim advantage. About four minutes later, again during the man advantage, Wheatley defenseman Brett Babkirk blasted a slap shot that flew untouched into the back of the Blenheim net for a five-all stalemate. Reid and Sebastian Kanally were credited with assists.

Although the Sharks outshot Blenheim 39-27 through 65 minutes, their first shootout of the season was required to determine a winner. The brief series of penalty shots began with Zach Mailloux being denied at point blank, followed by a controversial goal by Enns, whom Pratt believed shot the puck twice before it trickled over the goal line from a sharp angle just inside the left post. After discussing the shot, officials deemed it a valid goal.

Durston then tried to outmaneuver the Sharks’ netminder for the equalizer, but was cleanly poke checked by MacKinnon before he could release the puck.

NOVEMBER IS DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH

Today, more than 9 million Canadians live with diabetes or prediabetes - a condition that, if left unchecked, puts you at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This means that nearly 1 in 4 Canadians either has diabetes or prediabetes.

More than 20 people are diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day.

younger Canadians, which can lead to type 2 diabetes; People of Aboriginal descent are 3 to 5 times more likely than the general population to develop type 2 diabetes; and Almost 80% of new Canadians are from populations that have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes. These include people of Hispanic, Asian, South Asian, or African descent.

The number of people with type 2 diabetes is rising dramatically due to a number of factors: An aging population - the risk of developing type 2 diabetes rises with age; Rising obesity rates - obesity dramatically increases the likelihood of developing type 2 dia™ Pharmacy and Home Health Care betes; IncreasYour Needs are Every Day ingly sedenlifestyles and so are our Low Prices! tary are contribut20 Talbot Street E, Leamington ing to rising obesity rates, Ph 519-326-5778 particularly in

The serious complications

Thomson Guardian

w ww.tho m s o ngu a r d i a n . c o m

Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death: • 80% of Canadians with diabetes die from a heart attack or a stroke; • 42% of new kidney dialysis patients in 2004 had diabetes.

• Diabetes is the single leading cause of blindness in Canada; • 7 of 10 non-traumatic limb amputations are the result of diabetes complications; • 25% of people with diabetes suffer from depression; • The life expectancy for people with type 1 diabetes may be shortened by as much as 15 years; and • The life expectancy for people with type 2 diabetes may be shortened by 5 to 10 years.

Staying Healthy With Diabetes:

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are serious conditions, and can lead to the same complications. But you can do many things to stay well. Talk to your doctor about all of the following points. They are important for basic diabetes care. Your doctor and your healthcare team will work with you to ensure you get the best care.

The important first steps are:

• Eat according to a healthy meal plan.

• Increase your physical activity.

• Learn as much as possible about diabetes.

Do you know your targets for good blood glucose and blood pressure control? Remember, lowering your blood glucose and blood pressure (even a little) will help you become healthier and stay that way.

Golden Years mini golf

The Sharks’ Austin Fontaine wraps up a Monday, Nov. 11 game against the Blenheim Blades with a shootout goal against Justin Pratt Monday, Nov. 11 at Wheatley Area Arena.

(SUN Photos)

Sharks

(Continued from page 26) Austin Fontaine put the game away with a deke to the left side of the Blenheim net before tucking the puck under a falling Pratt.

“That game was never in anyone’s hands,” said Sharks head coach Ken Galerno. “We knew early on that it was going to end up being a one-goal game.”

The Sharks’ contest against Blenheim marked the return home after a two-game road stand that started Friday, Nov. 8 in Belle River. Wheatley avenged a 9-3 home ice loss to the second-place Habs with a 4-3 regulation victory. Babkirk, Austin Thompson and Jon Woelk gave the Sharks a 3-0 lead at the first buzzer with Reid, Thompson, Ciampa, Sebastian Kanally, Thomas Virban and MacKinnon drawing assists. MacKinnon, who stopped 39 of 42 shots, now has two assists on the season.

Woelk scored the game winner and his second of the game early in the second, assisted

by Babkirk and Reid. Belle River threatened to make a repeat comeback on goals by Mike Ditty, Hunter Corp and James Shelton before the second period ended, but Wheatley’s defense put a stop to the gesture by forcing a scoreless third.

Babkirk continued to play the role of offensive defenseman in a Sunday, Nov. 10 game in Amherstburg. The veteran blueliner both started and finished the scoring in a 3-2 overtime victory, assisted by Thompson on the power play for the only tally of the opeing 20 mintues and taking passes from Reid and Kanally after 3:40 of extra minutes.

In between, Colin Hamilton tied the game for the Admirals before Ryan Zsebok netted his first as a Shark, assisted by Scott Florence and Sebastian Kanally. Steven Spada evened the score and forced overtime early in the third frame for Amherstburg.

The Sharks will have a three-day breather from game action before again hitting the road for a Friday, Nov. 15 contest in Dresden.

“This November schedule is ridiculous,” Galerno said. “Fortunatley, our lineup of midget players had fresh legs and played great tonight (against Blenheim).”

The Sharks sat out scoring leader Jon Woelk for Monday’s game after the veteran suffered a minor upper body injury Sunday in Amherstburg. He will be back on the roster for Friday’s game against the Kings.

Monday’s win put Wheatley in a tie for second place with Belle River, who has played 19 games compared to the Sharks’ 18.

Wheatley’s next home game will be Monday, Nov. 18 against the Alvinston Flyers.

LDSS launches multi-purpose event

By Bryan Jessop Students at Leamington District Secondary School have found a way to get to know one another, enjoy some light-hearted competition and support two worthy community causes all at the same time.

The school held its first annual LDSS Survivor Games throughout the afternoon of Thursday, Nov 7, utilizing both gymnasiums, the cafeteria and library to embark on 10 challenges for randomly formed teams of 10 students apiece. The games were open to any LDSS student who made a $5 donation for breast cancer awareness or gave a good-condition jacket to the local Coats For Kids campaign.

“It’s also a good mixer for juniors and seniors, giving them a chance to compete together and have fun,” said LDSS gym and leadership teacher Dan Braun.

Braun and other staff members assisted student council with the ideas and games behind the Survivor Games, a concept formed by student council as one of the monthly in-school

LDSS Survival

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

(Continued from page 29) events. Students volunteered their time after school hours to build items for games such as marshmallow catapult and texting battleship prior to the fundraiser. Members of student council organized LDSS Survivor Games and were dispersed on the afternoon of the event to coordinate and provide instruction to each of the 10 games.

“They’re doing a great job,” Braun said about midway through the games, where each team participated in each event on a rotational basis. “It’s been very positive so far.”

The winning team of the first-ever LDSS Survival Games won Subway restaurant gift cards and will have their names engraved on the Survivor Trophy. Braun explained that for future student council meetings, each of the games will be reviewed and based on feedback, will be either kept for next year or dropped in favour of new ideas.

“They (student council) wanted to do something that would keep school spirit alive while supporting the community at the same time,” explained Braun, whose leadership course students also played roles in the organization of the events.

The LDSS Survivor Games were in part created in response to shortcomings in previous Coats For Kids campaigns held at the school. Organizers set their sights on between $500 to $1,000 for breast cancer research and 100 donations towards Coats For Kids. Donations for both causes were still trickling in following the Survivor Games, coming from students and staff members alike. About 250 students participated in the games, roughly one quarter of the school’s population.

Adrian Ninaber performs a bench press during the Powerlifting World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.

J. B. Bennett, DD

DENTURE CLINIC

Adrian Ninaber, a Kingsville resident and pastor at Calvary Fellowship Baptist Church in Leamington, prepares to attempt a dead lift during the Powerlifting World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Ninaber took first place in his age and weight category and set a new world record for combined lifts in the squat, dead lift and bench press categories.

Are Your Dentures Cracked or Broken?

Do You Have Chipped or Missing Teeth?

Is There Excessive Tartar or Staining?

Ninaber wins World Powerlifting Championships Aurora/Bradford area — Ninaber Contracting and Forever Green Roofing. Logic Lumber of Alberta, owned and operated by a fellow powerlifter, also sponsored Ninaber’s flight to Scotland.

The Calvary Fellowship Baptist Church also contributed $375.

“It was a very pleasant surprise,” Ninaber said. “I didn’t ask for anything and I definitely didn’t expect it.”

This year’s event was hosted by Scotstoun Stadium, home of the professional rugby team the Glasgow Warriors. During his visit to Scotland, Ninaber visisted the Kelvingrove Art Museum and a few other points of interest.

“The mass transit system there is fantastic,” he noted. “It’s very affordable.

Did You Know...

Glasgow is a very friendly city. I could have spent a week in the museums.”

Next year’s World Drug Free Powerlifting Championships will be hosted by the eastern European nation of Moldova, situated between Romania and Ukraine. Although Ninaber doesn’t plan to attend, he placed a successful bid for Canada to host the competition in 2015. His American cohorts offered to bring gear while he makes arrangements with St. Clair College and the Holiday Inn in Windsor, the chosen host city.

“It should be a great way to promote the sport in Southwestern Ontario,” Ninaber said. “Canada hasn’t hosted in many decades, although there were a lot of people excited about the

idea of Canada submitting a bid. A lot of UK lifters have family here.”

Ninaber’s next event will be in Evansville, Indiana, where fellow Canadian team members will also attend the single-lift championships. Unlike the combined event, participants are able to choose any one, two or three of the categories for competition. Ninaber plans to enter all three and although he will be 58 in January, has no plans to back away from the sport any time soon.

“Why should I give it up?

I’ve got a guy who’s 73 who trains with me. This is a sport that’s about the friendships you develop. Everyone encourages one another — there’s no trash talking.”

Which came first – chicken or the egg?

SODUKU ANSWERS

Egg-laying animals were around before birds were around; therefore, the egg came first. And the chicken is the eggs’ way of having more eggs.

PETE Birds were able to improve SCORRAR on the kind of eggs produced by reptiles such as turtles and alligators by adding a protecScience tive shell and laying the egg Says... in a nest. A laying hen will add the shell from specialized glands in the oviduct just before she lays the egg. An eggshell is composed of calcium carbonate and the shape of the egg will provide structural strength to protect the inner part of the egg. My challenge to you is to have you break an egg by squeezing it.

An egg is ‘egg-shaped’ to prevent it from rolling out of the nest when it may be bumped. The eggs of gulls and terns that lay their eggs on rocky ledges are very wedge-shaped, while wrens eggs laid in a cupped nest are more oval in shape.

Which end comes out first when a hen lays the egg – the round end or the pointer end? When a hen lays an egg, she must ‘stand up’ to let the egg drop out. The big end comes out first. There is an air pocket in the big end which will cushion the delicate insides of the egg when it is dropped.

Birds hatch their eggs by ‘sitting’ on them. The egg is tucked up against the belly of the bird to provide constant warmth to the developing egg. Looking at an open egg you can see white cords attached to the yolk. This is the chalaza, which is a twisted protein cord that keeps the germ spot up so that it is always in contact with the hen.

The chicken may be “second” in the order of things, but the egg comes first – at breakfast!

Soli Deo Gloria Singers practice for “Love Incarnate”.

Soli Deo Gloria Singers celebrate “Love Incarnate” in upcoming concert The Soli Deo Gloria Singers, under the direction of Paul Dueck and Nancy Dyck, would like to invite you to their upcoming November concert “Love Incarnate”.

We have heard the expression: “Love makes the world go ’round.” Someone has written: “Love does not make the world go ’round, but it sure makes the ride worthwhile.” Love is contagious and spreads easily

and widely. Mother Teresa writes: “Love is a fruit in season at all times, and is within reach of every hand.”

Love incarnate reveals God’s love for His people as described in the gospel of John: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Blogger John Smallman, writes: “We are all love incarnate, burst-

ing with desire to share our love and longing for others to share their love with us.”

The contemporary musical artist and songwriter, Stuart Townend, summarizes “love incarnate” as follows: With a prayer You fed the hungry, with a cry You stilled the storm; With a look You had compassion on the desperate and forlorn.

With a touch You healed the leper, with a shout You

‘Tis the Season...

raised the dead; With a word expelled the demons, with a blessing broke the bread.

Love Incarnate, Love Divine captivate this heart of mine.

Till all I do speaks of You. This concert will feature “Love Incarnate” in its various dimensions. Included are songs of the Christmas season, when God’s love was revealed in human form through the birth of Christ. You will hear familiar hymns like “Love Came Down at Christmas”, along with Michael Praetorius’ “Singt ihr lieben Christen all!” Choir members have been exhorted to sing with the deep, dark sound characteristic of Russian choral music in the beautiful Rachmaninoff composition “Bogoroditse Devo” (Rejoice, O Virgin”). The choir is also being encouraged to sing with a “relaxed gospel swing” in Larry Shackley’s “What A Wonderful Child.”

Humankind’s response to God’s love is reflected in 16th century composer Thomas Tallis’ work, “If ye love Me, Keep My Commandments” as well as in the contemporary work of Audrey Falk Janzen, “The Great Commandment.”

Join in the celebration of “Love Incarnate” and marvel with composer Dmitry Bortniansky, “O power of love, all else transcending, in Jesus present evermore.”

Concerts will be presented at UMEI, 614 Mersea Rd. 6, west of Hwy 77, north of Leamington, on Sat. Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. and at Leamington United Mennonite Church, 78 Oak St. E., Leamington on Sun.
