THIS GROUP FROM the Point Edward Early Learning Centre is warmly dressed —and well padded — as they trundle off to a learn-to-skate class at the village arena last week. The free program takes place Wednesday mornings, thanks to a small army of volunteers and parents. Big person Janice Smith brings up the rear while Carlie Foubister, not seen, leads the pack.

City councillors joust over pay and perks

hough he strongly disagrees with his intensions, Bill Dennis says he regrets calling fellow city councillor Mike Stark a “big spender” during a Feb. 11 meeting and has reached out to apologize.

Stark confirmed he received the private apology and a

commitment from Dennis to apologize publicly at the next council meeting.

“I assured Bill that he was not the first nor will he be the last that got caught up in the emotion of the debate, and that lessons can be learned from this incident,” Stark said in an email.

“Moving forward we will all try to do better.”

Tempers flared over a debate about council expenses and

compensation.

“You’re a big spender. I guess it doesn’t really matter,” Dennis fired at Stark.

“I take exception to that,” Stark replied.

“Of course you do,” countered Dennis.

“I accept your apology,” Stark said.

“There’s no apology, trust me,” Dennis responded.

At the time, Coun. Dave

Boushy was trying to chair the meeting in the absence of Mayor Mike Bradley. Boushy didn’t acknowledge the exchange and moved on to the next item of business.

Stark said he has apologized to Boushy for creating a “difficult situation.”

For his part, Coun. Dennis said he was having a bad day.

ore than $45,000 worth of tickets to the Sarnia Tall Ships Challenge have already been sold to people as far away as Arizona, North Carolina and Alberta, City Hall says.

Council authorized spending up to $500,000 last week to host the festival, which will see at least six tall ships tie up on Sarnia’s waterfront August 9-11.

If there’s a shortfall, the city will be on the hook for the difference. But parks and recreation director Rob Harwood said he’s confident revenue will meet or exceed the upfront costs.

“It’s just so unique. I think that obviously plays well into the success,” he said.

Sponsorships have also raised more than $70,000 so far and staff is working on government grants that have yet to be announced, Harwood said.

“We’re getting a lot more community support than what was reached out for in the past.”

Another big draw is the fact the tall ship celebration is partnering that weekend with the Bluewater Borderfest music festival and Artzscape by the Bay art show, exposing those who visit to other amenities the city has to offer, he said.

Anchors: Continued from 1 Sarnia Transit is coordinating the required shuttle services and parking, and an online search last week revealed local hotel rooms are filling up quickly, with some already sold out that weekend.

The tall ships, coming from Canada, the U.S. and around the world, are crewed by cadets and civilian enthusiasts under the command of professional captains and sailors.

Those confirmed include the Bluenose II, Picton Castle, Empire Sandy, Denis Sullivan, Fair Jeanne and Appledore IV. City Hall estimates the festival will generate $3 million in economic

activity.

Tickets vary from general admission to an exclusive sail-away aboard the Empire Sandy, a 200-foot schooner that can carry up to 275 passengers.

General admission, single-day tickets are $10, plus HST, and a weekend pass is $16 plus HST. General admission with a chance to board the vessels is $15, plus tax, or $25 plus tax for the weekend.

They can be purchased online at www.sarniatallships.com or at Tourism Sarnia-Lambton, 1455 Venetian Blvd in Point Edward, and at City Hall.

Any excess revenue from the event would be directed to a waterfront development reserve, the city says.

Hockey club and Sarnia at odds over lease agreement

T

TROY SHANTZ THE JOURNAL

he brass at the Sarnia Sting say the hockey team wants to renegotiate a lease at the city’s premier arena but will first need to resolve some irritants with City Hall.

Club CFO Gord Currie shared a list of complaints with city council on Feb. 11 that include poor communication, unpaid invoices and maintenance problems at the Progressive Auto Sales Arena.

“I don’t want the Sting going anywhere. We’d like to continue to operate in the PASA facility, however it’s got to be efficient, it’s got to be managed proactively,” he said.

The Sting and city signed a lease and revenue sharing agreement when Sarnia assumed operation of the arena in 2014. That agreement ends June 30, but would renew automatically if nothing changes.

One of the club’s concerns is a leaky roof at the 5,500-capacity arena, which Currie said threatens a new score clock the team purchased in 2017.

He also claimed requests made to city staff for better arena upkeep on game days, including the washrooms, have been ignored.

Parks and recreation director Rob Harwood appeared taken aback by the complaints and told councillors the city has met all its responsibilities to the Ontario Hockey League club.

“As I explained to the team, we don’t have the funding to be able to do everything that we would like to do, so we take every opportunity to stretch every nickel into a dime,” he said.

He acknowledged a roof leak

THE SARNIA STING'S operating agreement with the city for use of the Progressive Auto Sales Arena, seen here during the hockey club's annual Teddy Bear Toss, expires this summer.

but said it’s in a different area that doesn’t threaten the new clock, and he rejected a claim the city was responsible for removing the old one.

Many of the concern the club brought to council, Harwood added, have not been shared at weekly meetings with city staff.

The city owns the 26-year old arena and oversees maintenance, concessions and the restaurant. The Sting control

the box office, and both parties share revenue from ad sales, private box bookings and naming rights.

According to Currie, the hockey club contributes about $3 million to the community annually. He didn’t discuss the Sting’s own finances but noted the average OHL club has profits of less than $100,000 annually.

Currie said the team would

like more control and revenue from private box sales, which have declined significantly, and wondered if a $1.50 ticket surcharge the city collects for operations could go instead to capital improvements.

Coun. Mike Stark asked if the team would consider a bigger role in booking non-hockey events. Sting president Bill Abercrombie seemed interested but added team owners Derian

Hatcher and David Legwand would have final say.

Mayor Mike Bradley said better communication could prevent such issues from being aired in council chambers.

“That’s exactly what we’re trying to accomplish,” replied Harwood.

“We obviously want to work well with the Sting and I honestly thought that we had been.”

LOCAL NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER Ronny D’Haene used a camera flash on a dull day to capture this group of pigeons perched on a Michigan Line hydro wire, near Telfer Road.

Pigeons, or rock doves, have a long association with humans and were first introduced to North America at Port Royal, Nova Scotia in 1606.

But they balked at buying the cell phones.

Stark’s request for a pay increase for was tabled. So was Dennis’s move to create a citizen committee to review compensation.

Both issues are expected to return March 4.

Stark said council members deserve a higher honorarium because of the workload, which is so heavy it discourages younger people from seeking office.

Those elected often leave after one term, he argued, noting he spends 30 to 40 hours a week on municipal business.

“People have no idea of the preparation involved,” he said.

“Our first meeting had a package with 680 pages to read. It’s much more time consuming than it was when I was a councillor before.”

Stark proposes each councillor’s compensation be raised to $30,700 annually from $23,000.

The mayor, who currently gets $80,000 a year, including a car allowance and benefits, should earn $82,700 starting next January, he said.

“If you look at a (2018)

report of the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, what I am asking for is what they identify as the average for municipalities our size between a population of 50,000 and 100,000,” he said.

“It’s the gold standard.”

Dennis disagrees.

“This is a part-time job and it’s not difficult,” he said. “I enjoy the invitations, mingling with people and all the fun stuff.

“And you’re serving your community, solving problems.

I didn’t get into this business to feather my own nest.”

He called Stark’s request for a $7,600 a year pay increase “irresponsible.”

“I say ‘no’ to an increase for this council. We have to lead by example.”

Stark said he wants to see an increase for the current council plus a commitment to review compensation the year before an election.

“I know these are politically difficult topics,” he said.

“But I thought it was negligent of the last council not to deal with it.”

Los Puntos Mexican restaurant gets right to the Point

J

ust days before the area’s newest Mexican restaurant opened on Monday, Los Puntos Cantina was teaming with tradesmen.

They were putting finishing touches on the terra cotta walls, the decorative tiles brought in from Tijuana, and the kitchen’s new equipment.

Business partners Shawn Gray, Brad Giancarlo and Brian Vickery took a quick break before opening Feb. 18 to talk about their joint venture and how they’ve overhauled the former Watermark bistro in Point Edward to make it their own.

“Brian is passionate about Mexican food and Brad and I always wanted to be part of a bar and restaurant operation that’s bright and exciting,” said Gray.

128 Michigan Ave., the three men saw an opportunity to go into business together at a location they consider ideal.

“We’re really close to the bridge and there’s a lot of summertime traffic here,” said Vickery, a Red Seal chef with a long history in the local restaurant scene.

“We wanted to create a fun spot where it always feels like you’re on vacation.

“Mexican food is recognizable to everyone and I love the flavour profiles.”

Vickery is a frequent visitor to Mexico and has taken numerous cooking classes there. He recently spent time in San Diego where he cooked with three Mexican chefs.

“The food we offer at Los Puntos is as authentic as we can make it,” he said.

The Mexican menu includes appetizers such as tortilla soup with lime chicken ($8); Caldo de Rez, a brothy beef stew ($9); and scallop ceviche with cilantro and habanero ($14).

There are six taco varieties at $4.50 each.

Among entree choices are chicken mole ($18); beef enchi-

Los Puntos (Spanish for The Points) Cantina has a full Mexican menu, a variety of other items for “gringos” like burgers ($14) and wings ($15), and a margarita slushy machine.

Catchy Latin pop tunes set the tone.

Giancarlo is a contractor with SG Construction and headed up the renovation that’s included a new garage door that opens up to a sidewalk patio in summer.

“We’ve given this place a complete facelift,” he said. “It’s a small place and it was dark so we’ve brightened it up with a lot with colour and texture.”

The reno was completed with leftover construction materials Giancarlo had on hand. Everything was repurposed including

ladas ($18); and a platter for two with chili lime shrimp, mango habanero chicken and all the fixings for fajitas ($45).

A children’s menu, gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available.

Vickery, Gray and Giancarlo have hired six to work in the kitchen including chef Justin Inkpen, who is a Lambton College grad with lots of local experience. Nine others have been hired for the front of the house.

Los Puntos Cantina seats 42 with another 15 on the patio. It opens 11 a.m. seven days a week for lunch, dinner and drinks.

The disappearance of wedding confetti is not mourned PHIL

EGAN

W

hen Laurie and I got married in 1972 everybody had a bag of it. I can see it speckling our hair and my tuxedoed shoulders in our wedding photos.

As you descended the church steps after the ceremony you expected to have handfuls thrown at you.

By the time you managed to escape the crowd of family and guests it was already down your neck.

And if it was raining, the bride could expect to find spots of coloured

dye on her wedding dress from the nasty stuff the next morning.

So – whatever happened to confetti?

Canadian church officials began discouraging the practice years ago by charging wedding parties a clean-up fee to rid their properties of the brightly coloured paper cut-outs.

More interesting, though, is the question of where the practice of throwing confetti originated. The answer takes us back to medieval Milan.

The custom of throwing grains or sweets during special occasions dates to pagan times, but it was the Milanese who, during parades, processions and carnivals, pop-

NO CONFETTI? No worries. Some couples are opting to have it added to their wedding photos later.

ularized the throwing of sugared almond treats, called “confetti.”

Three hundred years later, in 1875, a Milanese silk merchant named Enrico Mangili began

selling cut-up bits of paper.

Soon, Italians were throwing it from windows during carnivals and showering brides and grooms with the

“new confetti” at wedding processions.

The magazine Scientific American says confetti was used in Paris’ New Year’s Eve revelry in 1885. It took another 10 years for the custom to spread across Western Europe to Britain. The East Sussex seaside town of Eastbourne claims the first recorded incorporation of confetti into a British wedding ceremony in 1895.

That was also the year the Oxford English Dictionary described the word “confetti” as being part of British wedding culture.

As with many things British, the custom spread to the Americas and remained popular

for the next 80 years.

Suggesting confetti “adds a vibrancy to your wedding photos,” a company called Digital Vision says it’s found the answer to the clean-up complaints.

Send in your wedding photos, they say, and they’ll digitally add some colourful confetti fluttering down on the happy couple.

After all, the important thing might not be how you remember your wedding day, but rather how you want to remember it.

Old Sarnia Jail was formidable, but prisoners did escape RANDY EVANS

T

he old Sarnia Jail was declared “one of the strongest in the Province” very soon after it opened in 1852.

Clearly, the edifice Alexander Mackenzie built to hold Lambton County’s cons was imposing, with its iron-barred cells, a locked double-door system to the outside and a surrounding 16-foot (4.9-metre) stone wall.

Strong? No doubt.

Escape-proof? Not a chance.

The first jailbreak occurred 12 years after its cells began receiving visitors.

At that time, it wasn’t the practice to have a guard on duty overnight.

Rather, at the end of the workday, the turnkey locked everyone in their cells, secured the rest of the building and headed home.

In the early hours of Feb. 5, 1864, no one was around to hear the nodoubt considerable noise

generated by five prisoners prying open their cell locks.

Thus freed, they overwhelmed the turnkey when he arrived for work that morning. Stealing the keys to the outside doors, four of the men made it out. The fifth was apprehended before he could flee.

James Flintoft Sr., who was this area’s first sheriff, posted a reward for the fugitives.

One of the men, named Dyer, was caught downriver at Froomfield trying to steal a small boat to reach the United States.

The other three were spotted at Warwick but not apprehended.

Prisoners Donnelly (assaults), Phoenix (embezzlement), and Himler (forgery) had headed east because it was their only option. All three were deserters from the U.S. Army.

No report on their capture could be found.

In 1901, a burglar named Robert Thomp-

son also managed to escape the old jail, which was located at Christina and Durand streets.

He first tried to escape while being transported to court, but that ended suddenly when Police Chief Windred shot him in the arm.

On Oct. 2, 1901 Thompson returned to court and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

While awaiting transfer to the penitentiary he was returned to the jail and locked up.

Incredibly, when a guard made the next routine cell check just ten minutes later Thompson had vanished.

An investigation revealed that while in pre-trial custody Thompson had somehow obtained a file and cut through the cell window bars. He was able to keep the bars upright for appearance sake until it was time to escape.

He had pulled out the bars, crawled through the window and proceeded to the wall. With

Comment Police handling of sexual assault trial shameful

Sir: Regarding the Feb. 13 court decision that found former gymnastics coach Dave Brubaker not guilty of sexual assault and sexual exploitation, and the criticism levelled by the judge at police handling of the case.

Shame on the Sarnia Police and the investigating officer involved. We as honest, taxpaying citizens trust them to know the legal system, to know the law, and to take the

appropriate steps when dealing with sensitive information.

It is the responsibility of police to help our voices be heard, to protect us, and they failed.

Sir: I have seen various responses to Canada’s revised food guide.

In 2017, I was devastated to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), as it has wreaked havoc on many of my family members.

One of the easiest ways to know how much and what to eat is exemplified by the plate method - regularly promoted by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which appears to me to be one of the most unbiased organizations I know!

Rather than measuring out all my portions of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) and not knowing how exactly to combine them for efficiency and effectiveness, this visual version of the food guide as a plate with proper portioning tells me exactly how much and what to eat.

Perhaps a little research (or teaching) is in order for the general public, but I think that this is one of the best models we can offer!

By following this “plate

The not guilty verdict was the exact opposite of what the Crown had set out to achieve.

There are reasons why women don’t come forward to share their stories of sexual assault and sexual abuse.

There are reasons why women still feel oppressed in today’s culture.

It is why we lean on each other to have our voices heard, and why we

gather together in women’s marches across the world to stand united!

Many women live with the guilt and shame of sexual assault and never speak of the abuse.

To all survivors who come forward to speak their truth, to those brave enough to stand up to sexual abuse, know that you are not at fault.

Let’s use tax dollar to properly clear the streets

Sir: We have been very fortunate this year with only one minor snowstorm and two bouts of freezing rain as we draw to the middle of February.

But why is there little to no indication of snow removal, sanding or salting of our residential streets?

I have resided in Sarnia almost five years and have observed little in the way of being proactive with regards to essential services for citizens, but high standards for complacency.

We have radar weather reports indicating far in advance when to prepare for winter fronts moving in, but here in Sarnia, crickets.

I contacted the city after our first snowfall, but it fell on deaf ears.

Rest assured, our taxes will increase annually while services dramatically decline.

Let’s put our tax dollars to good use for citizens instead of boasting of a budget surplus.

A safe space for teens to learn about healthy relationships TARA JEFFREY THE JOURNAL

W

hen talking to teens about difficult topics it’s crucial to have a safe space and accurate information.

So says Chantel Butterfield, who is hosting an upcoming event with the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Centre that will explore healthy relationships.

“I’m hoping we can have really honest conversations about healthy expectations and boundaries in relationships, and identifying safe adults to talk to about things like sex and intimacy,” said Butterfield, the agency’s project coordinator of human trafficking support and awareness.

“I know sometimes it’s hard for youth — they don’t want to talk to their parents or a teacher, or even a guidance counsellor… it’s such a taboo and difficult topic for youth to talk about with adults they know.”

The two-part seminar is geared to youth aged 13 to 17 and will explore dating, consent, sex and intimacy on Feb. 25.

Part 2 on March 4 covers relationship ‘red flags’ and how to address them, risky behaviour, and exploitation.

Butterfield said she hears from many parents who worry their teens aren’t receiving proper education on topics like consent and risky behaviours.

“We are really finding that there’s a huge gap for preventative education for youth,” said Butterfield. “We are not a board-approved presenter for the schools, and while we do get invited to do presentations, they’re very specific about the content that needs to be taught.

“So when it comes to exploitation, human trafficking and those risk factors, those conver-

sations are not being had in the schools — at least not by us.”

Butterfield noted the agency does run free, educational groups for youth, but attendance is low.

“We’ll get one or two youth, which is fine and we will run a group for them, but it’s always really awkward for them if there’s not a group of people having the conversation,” she said, adding they’re looking at

hosting a similar event for a younger age group (10 to 13) as well.

“We really want to get the information out there, so youth know how to be safe. If your boyfriend or girlfriend asks you to do something that you’re not comfortable with — just having that sounding board to say, ‘is this normal?’ and exploring those feelings that make you uncomfortable.”

New midwifery office in Sarnia caters to growing demand CATHY DOBSON THE JOURNAL

M

idwives in Sarnia are increasingly in demand and they soon hope to expand their responsibilities at Bluewater Health.

So says Lindsay Ottens, one of eight midwives working with Midwifery Services of Lambton-Kent out of a band new office building at 350 Christina St. N. Midwives delivered 16% of the 1,083 babies born in Sarnia last year, and that

percentage continues to climb, Ottens said.

“We know there are women who want a midwife in Sarnia but can’t get one. Some months we’re full and can’t take everyone who applies,” she said.

That demand prompted Ottens and fellow midwife Cynthia Thoren to form a partnership for construction of the new and much larger building for Midwifery Services of Lambton-Kent.

They were located on Michigan Avenue but moved to the higher-profile location Jan. 1.

“Women realize (having a baby) doesn’t have to be over-medicalized,” said Ottens. “That being said, we are very integrated into the health care system and do many of the same things an obstetrician will do, like order lab tests and ultrasounds when necessary.”

Ottens, 34, has been a midwife 13 years. She grew up in Petrolia and says she knew by age 16 what she wanted to do.

“I knew a midwife and I also knew women who had midwives and I realized I wanted to help women become moms and support them at that time in their lives.”

Becoming a midwife in Ontario means four years of university at McMaster, Ryerson or Laurentian.

That includes attending about 100 births and a 2.5year clinical placement.

Ottens attended Laurentian University in Sudbury where she earned a Health Sciences degree in midwifery.

Expectant moms appreciate the team approach midwives offer, Ottens said.

The new building accommodates eight midwives and is more centrally located on a busy transit route. It has a large waiting room, three clinic rooms, and is fully accessible with space to grow, said Ottens.

It’s been 25 years since midwifery became regulated and fully funded by the Ontario government. Sarnia’s first midwife, Debbie Smith, began practicing in the early 1990s when it was challenging to get hospital privileges. Those hurdles have been overcome and all midwives at the new centre have privileges.

About 85% of deliveries attended by a local midwife are in hospital, said Ottens “We have a good relationship with our hospital and we’re looking to increase our scope.”

They are currently training to use patient-controlled analgesia pumps, and plans are underway for training to manage epidurals and, possibly, to care for low-risk vaginal births that require inductions.

This can mean only one thing – through some twist of fate her life is now a romantic comedy!

It’s a tricky balance to mock romantic comedies while telling what is a very traditional romantic comedy story. But the cast, led by a formidable Rebel Wilson, manages to strike a lighthearted tone when poking fun and stays clear of judging those that love the genre.

Along the way they check off all the rom-com must haves: a stunning apartment, a gay best

friend who’s always available and appears to have no job other than catering to the leading lady, first dates that leave viewers swooning, big karaoke moments, interrupting a wedding, and poking your head out the sunroof of a limousine while telling someone you love them.

And all to the sweet sounds of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” on repeat – what more

David Brubaker was charged in 2017 after a woman, now in her 30s, alleged he touched her inappropriately when she was an athlete under the age of 16.

Brubaker was director and head coach of Bluewater Gymnastics for 29 years, named a national team director with Gymnastics Canada in 2014, and

found Brubaker not guilty of the charges in Sarnia Court and, according to news reports, criticized the Sarnia Police officer who investigated the case despite having family ties to the complainant.

Following the verdict, Gymnastics Canada issued a statement saying it would conduct its own investigation in accordance with its code of ethics and discipline policies.

You’d like to do all the renovations yourself? Be careful not to over-ex-

our appliances look old-fashioned but you can’t afford to replace them? No problem: you can easily revamp them yourself without having to spend a fortune.

1. Decals

Self-adhesive (or peel-andstick) de­cals add instant style to the most or­dinary of appliances. You’re sure to find something you like among the huge range of styles and

models available in stores.

Shop around and you’ll see.

Before applying a decorative sticker, clean the surface and make sure it’s completely dry. Then cut out the pattern, if necessary, and secure it with painter’s tape to determine precisely where you want it. Take a few steps back to see the result from a better angle and move the decal around until it’s in exactly the right position. Then peel off the protective film and attach the decal by smoothing it carefully with a plastic squeegee.

Co­ver with masking tape all the parts that you’re not going to paint.

Set up your work area outside for the next step of the project, or at least in a well-ventilated area, and then apply aero­­sol paint according to the manufacturer’s ins­tructions. Ask a hardware store professio­nal about which type of paint is best for your appliance.

Three mistakes to avoid when choosing your houseplants

Five steps to a clutter-free garage

N

othing adds life to a room quite like houseplants, but it can be hard to choose which ones are right for your interior. If you’re planning on adding some greenery to your space, don’t make these three common mistakes.

1. Buying too many hanging plants

S

porting equipment, gardening tools, holiday decorations and spare sets of tires are just a few things commonly stored in the garage. This wide variety of items of all shapes and sizes can often lead to a cluttered space. Here are five tips to help you keep a neat, functional garage.

1. Sort

Start by getting rid of everything you no longer use. Donate or sell items that are in good condition, and contact a local recycling facility to find out which materials are salvageable and what to do with them.

Consider whether each item really has its place in the garage, or if it would be better off in the garden shed, the basement or elsewhere in the house.

2. Divide

Create well-defined storage zones. Keep bicycles and sports gear on one side and tools on the other, and make sure frequently

used items are within easy reach.

3. Maximize height

Hanging plants are beautiful, but they also take up quite a bit of space and can be tricky to maintain due to their height. If you’re not

Take advantage of the ceiling to hang items that are bulky but light, such as ladders and bicycles. You can create even more storage by installing shelves a few feet below the ceiling, to house your snow tires, for example.

4. Use the walls

Wall-mounted hooks and shelves are excellent space-savers, but nothing beats pegboard, a triedand-true staple of well-organized garages. These handy perforated panels are perfect for hanging all sorts of items, including gardening tools such as shears and trowels.

If your thumb isn’t the greenest, choose low-maintenance plant varieties to avoid disappointing results. A tad distracted? Place your plants in plain sight so you don’t forget to care for them.

There’s no way around it: if that cactus needs full sun, don’t expect it to fare well in your basement apartment. Before buying a plant, make sure you THE understand how to properly care for it.

Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me you are my Mother, Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request).

came within 0.06 points of taking gold at the meet held Feb. 5 – 10 in Anaheim, California.

They led the field after the short program but were edged out by the Chinese pair of Wenjing Sui and Cong Han, the Olympic silver medalists.

“We’ve definitely come a long way since November,” said Marinaro, 27.

“There was a big improvement in points but it’s too bad we let a couple get away from us. Lesson for the future that we need every point we can get.”

Cheng Peng and Yang Jin of China were third.

THE NORTHERN VIKINGS advanced to the Lambton Kent high school basketball finals after downing the Chatham Kent Hawks 76-37 in Sarnia on Feb. 14. Here, Northern’s Ethan Jones slides past two hawk guards for the two-point layup.
