Feds give $1M for LU science centre T H U N D E R B AY By Matt Vis – TB Source ith its new Centre for Advanced Studies in Engineering and Sciences constructed, Lakehead University is now focused on adding the bells and whistles to make the building state of the art. The university on Friday received $1 million from the federal government through FedNor for equipment and tech nology to outfit the new building, which has an expected total project cost of more than $26 million. Andrew Dean, university vice presi dent of research and innovation, said the 24,000 square foot building is functional and in the process of moving in people. “A building is a shell but what really goes into the building are the people and the people working on the equipment.

TRAGIC FIRE: A charred couch rests on the lawn outside a Walkover Street home where a fatal blaze broke out on Saturday.
Woman dies in fire at Walkover home T H U N D E R B AY By TB Source Staff woman sent to hospital following a fire at a north side home on the weekend has died, say Thunder Bay Fire Rescue. Fire crews responded to reports of a structural fire at a Walkover Street home on Saturday afternoon. Arriving crews found the home filled with smoke and a serious, but extinguished fire. Firefighters also located an unresponsive person inside the home who was removed. Ryan Lock, an inspector with the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office, on Monday said Thunder Bay Fire Rescue crews found the woman after arriving at the
A
fire, which occurred at about 1 p.m. "Upon arrival on scene they did locate a female in the house. The female was transported to area hospital and was admitted at that point in time," Lock said in an interview outside the home. "The occupant in the house did die at hospital." Resuscitation efforts were conducted at the scene and the individual was transported to hospital by Superior North EMS. The cause and circumstances of the fire are under investigation by Thunder Bay Fire Rescue and the Office of the Fire Marshal. Thunder Bay Fire Rescue deputy chief Greg Hankkio said the home was equipped with smoke alarms but at least one of them was not working.

Editorial EDITORIAL
Remember the fallen n Sunday, Canadians from coast to coast will pay homage to veterans and those who lost their lives fighting for the way of life we know today. The number of veterans who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for Canada is stag gering. A total of 224 died in the Boer War, which began in 1899. That number pales in comparison to the casualties inflicted by the First World War, when 59,544 were killed and another 154,361 were injured. Of the 1.1 million Canadians to serve in the Second World War, about 45,000 died and another 55,000 suffered injuries. A further 516 were killed fighting in Korea and 110 more died in battle in Vietnam, with seven more still listed as missing in action. More recently the conflict in Afghanistan claimed 159 lives, including three from Thunder Bay: Pte. Josh Klukie, who died on Sept. 29, 2006; Cpl. Anthony Boneca, killed on July 9, 2006; and Pte. Robert Costall, the first local to die in Afghanistan, who was killed in a friendly fire incident on March 29, 2006. Locally, there will be three Remembrance Day celebrations to pay tribute to those who served. Wreaths will be laid at the Waverly Park cenotaph, at Fort William Gardens and also at Mount McKay. Please try to attend one of the cere monies. It’s the least you can do.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ceremony touching To the editor: he 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War was held at the Community Auditorium Sunday after noon. I am compelled to write this letter because this historical event was well attended, very well organized, inform ative and quite touching. The regiments paraded past onlookers at 1 p.m. as scheduled. And then returned for an appreciative handclapping standing ovation as they paraded into the auditorium to their reserved seating at the front of the stage After introducing politicians and ranking officers the emcee introduced an indigenous woman who sang In Flanders Fields which was a lovely version reminding me also that the idea of the poppy originated here in Port Arthur back in 1921. The Royal Canadian Air Force band which was a complete symphony entertained us three times with medleys from the era, even singling out Cpl. James, our local TBSO trumpet player, for a solo with orchestra accompaniment and show casing the different regiments. They were fabulous A short film by local Kelly Saxberg and partner John of wartime events derived from a diary from her grand father was also part of the program. What an eyeopener as the documen tary captured much to be desired of life on the front lines and our local participation With the history of pictures and stories being told the fact that stuck in my head upon leaving was that our country lost 10 per cent of our enlisted Canadians in the First World War but locally it was 25 per cent that lost their lives Thank you for this emotional event. And thank you to all that serve and who have served to make this country great See you on Nov. 11 at the cenotaph.

Welcome new council To the editor: s of Election Day the community of Thunder Bay has just received a massive infusion of new energy and new thinking. This is enough to give pause and recognize that the voters were selective and focused in their choices for their City Council. The standard old preditions fell apart as newcomers such as Cody Fraser won in a field where traditional thought was that an incumbent who faced more that one challenger could pretty much relax during the campaign. A new era is
A
upon us. The new team under sturdy Bill Mauro has a valuable blend of experi ence and fresh perspectives. Combining wisdom with new ideas can only auger well for our community. Indeed it gives us optimism that many of the issues that have been 'studied to death' may see some action. We have numerous frustrated commit tees and task forces that have been producing the same recommendations for years that are now expecting to see some spark from their efforts. From the widespread consensus among candidates and those elected we truly have five core issues they have indicated a willingness to dig into and address. As a reminder these are: economic growth, rising taxes and civic costs, crime, social issues including racism and infrastructural upkeep to name but
a few. Those alone will be a full plate and yet there will be a long line up of requests for civic funding for a huge number of other projects. The learning curve of the new group will be acceleratedly steep but they say they are keen to start and I believe them. They do deserve our support so cut some slack whilst they get to know each others' strengths. The infusion of new blood is conta gious as longserving councillors will draw inspiration and will see their years of experience pay some divi dends as they nurture the new keeners. This council will also have to do some bridgebuilding with the neigh bouring communities of Northwestern Ontario both municipal and Indigenous and this should also be viewed as grounds for strengthening positive rela tions.
The spark of this new hope is evidenced throughout our region and I believe strongly that this opportunity to formulate reenergized relations with our newlyelected provincial represen tatives and reaffirm our work with the Federal reps will happen quickly, indeed there are signs these initiatives are already underway. To the new council and of those throughout the NorthWest I believe the citizens want you to succeed mightily and all that I speak to want to do all they can to make that a reality. Listen to the peoplethey want you to succeed. Congratulations. Work hard, reply to calls and messages, and thank you for your commitment to our community.

Perspective
Check this one out By J.R. Shermack Special to TB Source is growing public aware ness and intolerance for bully Tinghere lately but sometimes it shows up where you least expect it. While doing daily chores and errands nobody wants to be manip ulated, manhandled and bullied by aggressive retail clerks. When stopping for milk and bread, consumers don’t enjoy being hassled by stern employees telling them what to do. Unfortunately this is exactly what is happening as retail establish ments around the world embrace the selfcheckout. It is a growing trend as busi nesses try to save money and increase service efficiency – but at what cost? Theft is increasing, jobs are disappearing and the collateral damage (largely ignored) is bewil dered, alienated customers. It happened to me for the first time last week and took me completely by surprise. I was left feeling belittled and humiliated – I took my meagre purchase and exited politely and quietly, hopefully never to return. The saddest part is, I don’t think they really care and are actually happy to be rid of me and any other dissenters like me.

In a release issued last Thursday, Thunder Bay Police say the victim, who has not been identified pending notifica tion of nextofkin, succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday.

charge from attempted murder to second degree murder against 25yearold suspect Peter Keeash, who remains behind bars. Det. Insp. Ryan Hughes said Keeash and the victim did have a relationship but would not comment further. According to a 2012 article in the Winnipeg Sun, Keeash was sentenced to five years in prison for a home invasion gone wrong that led to him being sliced in the stomach with his own machete. Hughes said an autopsy is expected to be conducted by the end of the week. The investigation into the city’s sixth murder of 2018 continues.

BIG WIN: Mike and Megan Tallari at the OLG Centre in Toronto.
Couple spins way to $350K TORONTO By Leith Dunick – TB Source ike and Megan Tallari can thank their threeyearold daughter Isla for their $350,000 lottery win. The couple was out shopping recently when they promised to buy the youngster a chocolate treat if she behaved. They followed through on that promise, which led to their lucky win. "We went up to the convenience store, bought the chocolate egg and with the change in my pocket, there happened to be one $5 Big Spin (ticket) left in the tray and that was it," said Mike Tallari, who travelled to Toronto with his wife to spin the OLG prize wheel to find out exactly what grand prize they'd be taking home. "Thanks to our oldest daughter, we are here today." Mike Tallari said he knows the likelihood of them grabbing the winning ticket were slim. "The odds are crazy. It can happen when you least expect and where you least expect it," he said. To win, the couple scratched their ticket, which revealed a prize labelled spin. They validated the ticket and spun the automated wheel. When it landed on Big Spin, the Tallari's were guaranteed a prize ranging between $100,000 and $500,000. Last Wednesday they visited the OLG prize centre, where they spun the wheel, which stopped on $350,000. The couple said they have plenty of plans for the money. "It's amazing, we don't even have words," Megan Tallari said. "You don't know until you spin it. The mind's a funny thing. For seven days we've been seeing different numbers, different amounts. We were going to be extremely happy with $100,000, but obviously your mind tends to wander and think crazy things. This just means we can take care of our little girls. It's unbelievable." Megan said they plan to put some of the money away for their daughters' education fund, as well as splurging on a new vehicle. "We're going to need a bigger vehicle to cart everybody around," she said. "It's going to be a fun Christmas, that's for sure," her husband added.

1915, young men marched down city Ithannstreets toward an uncertain future. More 100 years later, service men and women were once again marching through the city of Thunder Bay to honour those soldiers of the Great War who marched before them so long ago. As part the commemoration to mark the upcoming 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, a military parade was held on Sunday, capping off a weekend of events and tributes. “This has been a community effort,” said Michel Beaulieu, a member of the poppy steering committee. “This is something that began four years ago. A number of commu nity organizations within the city of Thunder Bay began to look for ways to commemorate the armistice and the sacri fices that individuals had made, but also what the First World War meant to the development of Canadian society.” The parade included members from all military and cadet units in Thunder Bay and Beaulieu said the city has not seen a parade of this size in quite some time. “It’s been a while since a parade has featured all the various units in the city,” he said. Beginning at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium, the service men and women marched down Memorial
Avenue and retuned to the Auditorium for speeches from dignitaries, musical performances by the Royal Canadian Air Force Band, and the premiere of the locally produced film, Where the Poppies Grow: The Lakehead at War. The film by Ron Harpelle and Kelly Saxberg tells the story of how the people of Port Arthur and Fort William were impacted by the war, both on the battle fields in Europe and on the home front, through a series of letters. Other events this weekend included an open house at the O’Kelly V.C. Armoury and a gala ball for the launch of the book, Thunder Bay and the First World War: 19141919. “This has been a labour of love for all those involved,” Beaulieu said. “Many individuals are members of the community and this is our way of recognizing those who have sacrificed before, those who have contributed before, but also a recogni tion of those within the city who do serve our country.” Retired Rear Admiral, Ray Zuliani, said the people of Fort William and Port Arthur made significant contributions to the war effort, from the young men and women who served in Europe, to those on the home front who worked in the shipyards and endured years of rationing. “It’s only right and fitting since there is no one left alive from that war that we mark that occasion,” he said. “It was
supposed to be the war to end all wars. It didn’t work out that way. We are trying to bring that awareness to people that the sacrifices that those people from Thunder Bay made should not be forgotten.” Zuliani added that Thunder Bay being the city where the poppy was chosen as the symbol of remembrance is also something the city should take pride in. “I think that is pretty significant in terms of not just Canada, but worldwide the poppy has become known for remem brance and it happened right here in Thunder Bay and we are really proud of that,” he said. The parade and tributes on Sunday also served as a leadin to Remembrance Week, which concludes on Remembrance Day that will mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918 that ended the First World War. Beaulieu said the commemorations are meant to serve as a point of reflection and with 100 years now passed since the end of the Great War, it is important to remember all those who marched into history, and never forget those who did not return. “There are no living veterans of the First World War left, so one of the things we’ve been doing as community organizations and groups is trying to listen to their voices through diaries, memoirs, family stories as a way of keeping their memory alive, but also keeping alive what is a significant point in Canadian history,” he said.

A farm film
F
irst of all, I did my own stunts. Stunts? Yes, I was in a movie that was filmed out here on the farm this past weekend. I was the only actor or, should I say, only human actor. Big Red, my ancient diesel tractor, played an important part in it too. Daughter Beth is enrolled in the Film Course at Confederation College. She is in second year and in second year the students are required to write and direct a short film in order to graduate. Short as compared with one made in Hollywood that is. Beth conceived a slapstick comedy involving a farmer thoroughly shadowed by Murphy of Murphy’s Law. Things that can go wrong for the poor sucker, do. It is supposed to be an instruction video about harvesting parsnips. I play the sucker. The film crew consisted of all of the secondyear film students and a couple of firstyear ones as well as assistants. Each student has to take on the role of Cameraperson, or Assistant Camera person, or Lighting director and assistant, or Sound if there is any (in the case of Beth’s film there is none recorded on set. She will be adding dialogue and sound effects later), etc., etc. That means that each student will have a turn making a film and also be a part of the film crew on other students’ films. There were 15 FRED secondyear students JONES and four firstyear ones that made up RURAL ROOTS this film crew – an amazing group of young folks. The students attend classes all week at the College and on weekends they shoot their films. The editing, adding in addi tional sound, music, etc. is done back at the college. My character, a farmer named of Eli Haus, is going to show the folks at home how to harvest a parsnip. Unlike carrots, parsnips can be very hard to get out of the ground. It is a rare occasion when you can freely grab, pull, and wrench a parsnip without a lot of effort. Beth tells me that I will be doing the ‘voiceover’ as Eli, reading from her script later when the visual of the film is all edited. I will be selecting some crusty voice for Eli. This past weekend, you may recall, was not sunny. In fact, we even had the occasional light snowfall, just a few flakes, but possibly visible on camera. And while it was chilly, at least it wasn’t freezing. The filming was to take three days – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Beth had planned the shots carefully and the crew, each and every one of them, performed their duties without a hitch. Like clockwork, you say? Yes, and so much so that they finished a day early. Oh, at the suggestion of my wife, Laura, they decided that Eli should be filmed inside Casa Jones eating the cooked parsnips. The students were thrilled that everything went off, as they say, without a hitch. Beth told me that she has been on film shoots where students don’t get along or bad planning delays the shoot. Not this time. She said that this bunch of beings (film students) were exceptional – no snits, everyone got along. Casa Jones became ‘Hotel de Jones’ for the weekend. Laura cooked up a storm of suppers, breakfasts, and lunches. Each student making a film not only has to organize everything for the shoot but has to provide food and drink. This time the students got homecooked fare instead of pizza. And Big Red? After different and useless attempts to extract a large parsnip by hand, an extremely frustrated Eli charges over to where Big Red is closeted, fires it up, races to the garden, bursts in, and gouges a bucketful of the parsnip bed out of the ground. He gets off the tractor, walks to the bucket and proudly displays the parsnips now free of the soil. And probably says “… and that’s how you harvest a parsnip!” During the ride to the garden I revved Big Red and, because our driveway has bumps left over from the frost heaves, ( “t’ain’t smooth, doncha know…”), both tractor and driver bounced around much to the delight of the film crew. Apparently Big Red played its part well. I have insisted that Red get mentioned in the credits.

old laser therapy has been used since the 60’s in Russia to help the invalids and suffering deal with and heal arthritic joint pain. It has only been the last 1015 years that laser therapy has come to this side of the ocean. At our office, the laser therapy has been a Godsend to many of our patients with moderate to severe arthritic joint pain in various areas of their bodies. Because I am a chiropractor, I encourage our laser patients to take a holistic approach to their healing, including diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes. I recommend an arthritic diet, supplementation with key anti inflammatory vitamins as well as using time tested topical creams that reduce pain and inflammation. Some prescription medications also cause severe joint and muscle pains. If you are on these drugs, it is important to check with your pharmacist or doctor to see if there is an alternative without as many side effects. The most common group of drugs I’ve had to deal with in the laser depart

One of the most common conditions treated by laser thera pists and chiropractors together, back and neck pain responds very well to both people working together for the benefit of the patient. I often order X rays to deter mine the severity of the condition and together with the laser therapist work out a plan of care to help the patient. We see tremendous results with over ninety percent of our patients and there are no side effects. Knee Pain. Knee pain can be horrible! Having suffered knee pain from a sky diving injury, I can identify with just about anyone who cannot walk because of stiff, painful, weak and swollen knees. We see many middle aged to senior patients who come in for pre and post surgical knee problems. Again, we look at X rays and MRI reports to determine the right course of care for laser therapy, chiropractic and in some cases corrective orthotics to support the feet and ankles. Shoulder Pain. Rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, arthritic joint pain, chronic soft tissue injuries as well as fibromyalgia that affects the shoulder, all respond to laser therapy. Sometimes we are able to fully restore function back to normal and some

Red Head and the Chef founder wins 2018 PARO alumni award T H U N D E R B AY By Leith Dunick - TB Source t one point, as she was struggling to get A her catering business off the ground, Jennifer Biron emptied her bank account of $600 to cover the costs of an event, not know ing if there would be another one in her future. It was a frightening moment for Biron, who coowns The Red Head and the Chef with her husband, Derek Cyrenne. At every step, she faced adversity and nega tivity, repeatedly being told her business plan was going nowhere, a surefire loser destined to fizzle out before it really began. “There were a lot of naysayers out there. They’d say, ‘You don’t even know how to cook, how are you going to run a catering company?’ I’d say, ‘I don’t care, I’m going to learn. I know how to do business. I know how to make people happy. I don’t need to know to cook (Derek) does.’” The couple never let it get to them, and have since risen to become one of the city’s top catering options, as well as running a popular breakfast location every Saturday at the Thunder Bay Country Market, where they served on average 400 meals each week. Biron, who originally wanted to operate a food truck, says she gained much of the courage to keep going through her association with the PARO Centre for Women’s enter prise, which on Thursday named her their alumni of the year, a sneak preview for the organization’s annual award luncheon sched uled for Nov. 8 at the Valhalla Inn.

It was a great place,” Biron said. PARO executive director Rosalind Lockyer said the Alumni Award is the most coveted of
all the awards they give out each year. “We give out the award to a woman who has not only grown her business and come from the PARO network or a program of PARO ... but has also given back to the community in a special way,” Lockyer said. Lockyer said next week’s award ceremony will culminate the daylong 2018 PAROBiz event, a fullday professional development conference featuring guest speaker Jennifer Sloat, founder and CEO of Sudbury’s MineIQ.

itcoms find the humour in the everyday. Hence the term “situa S tion comedy.” However, few have
delved into those truths that most of us refuse to admit. I Feel Bad is a new Thursday night comedy from Amy Poehler that has decided to reveal women’s dirty little secrets to the world. But fortunately, the writers tell us, it’s okay. The series’ heroine is Emet, a married, working mother of three who’s trying to be everything to everyone. And she’s failing at it. But it’s okay because she feels bad about it. In fact, every episode focuses on something that Emet feels bad about: she lies to her kids; she’s a hypocrite; she manipulates her husband; she gets sick of being needed by everyone; she doesn’t want to turn into her mother.
(If you’re a woman, those last two may hit particularly close to home.) Some things Emet does try to improve on, leading to some rather odd predicaments and circumstances for the whole family. Fortunately, more often than not, she decides to accept her flaws (and live with a little guilt about it) because, well, that’s who she is.

I can relate to the second half of the equation. I feel bad that I don’t care about the dirty paw prints on my kitchen floor by the back door. That I don’t accessorize well because I just don’t care to put that much effort into it. Okay, it’s a pretty anemic list. Should I feel bad that I don’t feel … more bad? Ah, guilt. It makes for great comedic moments on television, and trips to the gastroenterologist in real life. Women have been dealing with guilt since Gloria Steinem told them they could – and should – get out of the house and have it all: family, career, a life. However, if you take the theory out of the rhetoric, real life makes the balancing act just a little more compli cated. Hence, Emet’s ongoing issues. But she’s not the only one.
WORD SE ARCH
WIKIPEDIA.ORG
New comedy, I Feel Bad: should you?
FEELING BAD: Amy Poehler is a producer behind the new comedy, I Feel Bad. Recently, The Big Bang Theory’s new mom, Bernadette, started hiding out alone with a bottle of wine in her kids’ backyard playhouse after work. She even lied to her husband about where she was. It’s a sure bet that
most audiences could relate. I don’t even have kids and I can understand the need to escape. My pets follow me everywhere like I’m a freaking piedpiper. Some women can’t use a public bathroom if there’s someone in the next stall. Me? I don’t remember the last time I took a wiz without a fourlegged audience. But I feel bad if I close the door and see those paws poking under the crack with the accompanying whimpering and snuffling outside. So I guess I do have a few more things that guilt me into odd behav iour. Fortunately, I have fewer witnesses. I also have a deep affection for Emet and her ongoing failures. Unfortunately, I Feel Bad hasn’t had stellar ratings this fall. But it’s okay. Perfection is highly overrated.

McCarville rink ready for a Challenge CURLING
LOCAL CURLERS’ SCHEDULE
By Leith Dunick – TB Source rista McCarville should have home ice advantage when the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge lands at the Tournament Centre this week. But how much that will help taking on 14 of the top women’s curling teams in the world in the Tier 1 side of the draw remains to be seen. Unlike most of the other squads at the event, put on by Sportsnet, the McCarville foursome has only played in two events this season, winning the KW Fall Classic in KitchenerWaterloo in September. Add in the difficulty of rarely being able to practice as a full team, with third Kendra Lilly living fulltime in her hometown of Sudbury, and the Thunder Bay rink will have its challenges when they open on Tuesday night against Edmonton’s Laura Walker rink.

Ecstatic Win or lose, McCarville said she’s pumped to play in front of the hometown crowd and have such a big event in Thunder Bay.

We just have to keep that up and just stay in the game,” Lilly said, adding she’ll get a huge lift from the soldout crowd cheering their every shot. “I’m sure we’re going to have the crowd support for every game and it will just make it a lot of cheering and fun and we’ll have the crowd involved in every game.”

Wolves win in overtime atrick Murphy saved his best for last. The Lakehead Thunderwolves blueliner took advan tage of threeonthree action on Saturday night, back handing the overtime winner past University of Toronto Varsity Blues goaltender Frederic Foulem 46 seconds into the extra frame to give LU a 54 tri umph. The win secured a threegame road trip sweep for the Wolves, who downed Guelph on Thursday night and took the firsthalf of their twogame set with Toronto on Friday. It was also their sixth consecutive win, after a 120 start to the season. It was a bit of hard luck for the Varsity Blues, who held the lead four separate occasions, but couldn’t secure it when it mattered most.

Gray, a native of Toronto, made 13of23 shots from the field, including 3of10 from beyond the arc, and was an impressive 19for20 from the freethrow line. Kevin Ndahiro came off the bench to score 18 for Lakehead, who slipped to 22 with the loss. Isiah Traylor had 15 for LU, while Davarius Wright chipped in 11 and had 10 rebounds for the doubledouble. The Wolves only lead came 25 seconds into the game, when Wright hit a jumper for a 20 Lakehead advantage. The Wolves trailed 5236 at the half. LU takes next weekend off and heads to Ottawa and Carleton on Nov. 16 and Nov. 17. Their next home game is Nov. 23 against Queen’s, followed by York on Nov. 24.

Saints, Falcons to play for junior title FOOTBALL By Leith Dunick – TB Source he St. Patrick Saints have been mak ing steady course all season long toward the junior football final. They got there on Thursday night. After a slow start, Saints backs Ma Ner Plaw Winning and Jack Williamson each rushed for a pair of touchdowns as St. Patrick booked their spot in the Superior Secondary Schools Athletic Association championship, downing the Westgate Tigers 340 in the first of two semifinals at Fort William Stadium. They’ll take on the sixtime defending champion St. Ignatius Falcons, who entered the postseason as the No. 3 seed in the junior ranks. The Falcons downed Hammarskjold 2114 in the 23 semi final. What a great feeling, said Williamson, who started play this season with next to no football experience, steadily showing improvement on the field to the point he got all seven carries on a 50yard scoring

SCORING DRIVE: Westgate’s Ensign Otway (left) can’t catch St. Patrick’s Ma Ner Plaw Winning. drive that wrapped up the scoring at the buzzer to end the third. “Once we got a couple of touchdowns in, we started rotating guys in and things just started clicking for us,” Williamson
said. “It feels great to get two touchdowns in the game.” Saints coach Dave Battistel said Williamson, who plays behind star backs
Winning and Jordan Melanch – author of the game’s other rushing major – has earned his playoff playing time. “Jordan and Ma Ner Plaw have been there all season long and we’re really pleased with how Jack’s come along. For a guy who never played football before the season, he’s really developed into a really great runner and he was fantastic on that last drive,” Battistel said. Williamson said he gave it just about all he had on the second scoring drive. “I was gassed,” said Williamson, who set up the score with a 19yard carry that deposited the ball on the Westgate six. “I guess my conditioning is not that good, but once you finally get down to the oneyard line, it felt good to punch it in.” Malench was the driving force on Williamson’s first score, the third of the contest, carrying the ball 48 yards to the Tigers 11, then taking it three yards to the two before his teammate cleaned up on third down to make it 210. He’d later score on a oneyard push early in the third, after taking it 23 yards
to the Tigers goal line. Winning scored early in the first on a sixyard run, then after Noah Jameus recovered a Jacob Jones fumble, he took it to the goal line on four rushes, including scampers of 13, 30 and five yards, before crossing the goal line from four yards out to double the Saints lead to 140 midway through the second. “I think the team really worked together as a unit and we deserve it,” Malench said. “I don’t know when the last time was we got here, but the offence and the defence really worked well together. St. Ignatius 21, Hammarskjold 14: The thirdseeded Falcons earned a shot at a seventh straight title, rallying from two touchdowns down to secure the win. Dylan DeRosa, who scored twice on the night, got the winning major on a 42 yard, thirdquarter run. Owen Johnston and Brody Bohonos scored rushing touchdowns for the Vikings. Michael Sheare had the other St. Ignatius score, cutting the lead to 147 late in the first
