TROY SHANTZ THE JOURNAL

hoebe Croteau hadn’t taken many piano lessons when her mother overheard her one day tapping out an unfamiliar tune. When Shinae Kang asked her five-year-old about it, the little girl confessed she’d picked up the song by listening to senior students practice it that week. “That’s when I knew she had something,” Kang said with a smile. Croteau, 16, is a gifted pianist with two upcoming concerts at the Sarnia Library. She’ll perform a solo show May 2, and on June 27 will be joined by internationally renowned pianist Anya Alexeyev - who also happens to be her teacher. Residents are advised to hear the Northern Collegiate student perform while they can. Even the tone-deaf can appreciate she is going places, and soon. Shinae Kang, a pianist herself, played regularly while pregnant with Phoebe and believes that planted the seed early. At the age of two, her daughter was obsessed with a children’s video featuring a Beethoven song, her mother recalled. By seven, Croteau was playing the German composer’s music. She started taking lessons locally after the family moved to Canada from South Korea in 2015. That year she placed first in the Lambton County Music festival and third in Ontario. That was a turning point, said Croteau, who admits she hadn’t really applied herself. Continued on 3

large historic downtown building is being converted into a new craft brewery, bar and restaurant set to open in early summer. The River Run Brew Co. is taking shape in the refurbished basement of 146 and 148 Christina St. That’s the 12,000-square-foot building outside the former Bayside Centre, near Cromwell Street. Most recently it was occupied by the Ravenous Gastropub and Trinity Lounge and has stood vacant about 18 months. Local realtor and developer Mark Woolsey bought the property a year ago after repurposing the building at the other end of the block, where the Downtown Market now operates. “I’m a sucker for old buildings, I love the character and I love taking on big projects,” said Woolsey. “I also love downtown, I live here and I like the vibe. This new bar is going to blow your mind.” He’s formed a partnership with long-time friend John Tidball, who will operate the River Run Brew Co. in a spacious 4,000-square-foot basement. The men purchased four fermenters and the rest of their beer-making equipment from a craft brewing operation in Vaughn, Ont. “They were upsizing and we bought everything they had,” said Woolsey. He and Tidball had been garage brewing for years when they decided the Sarnia market was ready for another craft beer. Continued on 4

Continued from 1 These days she is dedicated to her craft, practising up to five hours a night and regularly attending concerts or listening to great performances. “As a pianist, I think it’s a lifelong process,” she said. “You’re never really perfect. You can always improve and add on to that. It’s kind of a step-by-step process.” Croteau has worked with music professors at the University of Michigan, University of Windsor, and most recently at Wilfrid Laurier University, where Alexeyev teaches.

TROY SHANTZ The Journal

Croteau makes the two-hour trip to Waterloo each week to work with her mentor, who herself has performed with the Royal Philharmonic and Moscow State Symphony orchestras. A British music professor

recently advised Croteau to audition for the Curtis Institute of Music. The conservatory for gifted students in Philadelphia is to music what Harvard is to law, or MIT to robotics.

Croteau said she is considering the audition, but added the thought of moving to the U.S. is daunting. For now, she’s focused on attending school and performing. The May 2 show will feature

a mix of styles, from baroque classics to modern jazz. She said she hopes to deliver something of value to those who attend. “That’s a pianist’s job … to send a message to the audience through your music.”

The success of The Refined Fool Brewing Co. a few blocks away proves Sarnians like the concept, said Tidball. “We know the market can handle another craft brewery. I don’t think there’s any limit to it right now,” he said. Tidball said he expects to start producing eight different styles of beer in May. “We want to have a full range of varieties, everything from light to dark.” To start, River Run will produce only enough beer to supply the restaurant and bar Woolsey is opening on the building’s main floor this summer. Only part of the main floor had been used in recent years, but The Tin Fiddler will occupy all 4,000 square feet. On the north side of the front entrance, a pub-style restaurant will seat about 70, while a banquet and special functions room is going in on the south side. Woolsey is adding a new kitchen and washrooms toward

Four layers of linoleum and tile have been pulled up to expose the original terrazzo flooring throughout. “We’ve got all new electrical, all new plumbing and comply with new building codes,” said Woolsey. He declined to say how much it is costing. Throughout the restoration, decades of old renovations have been removed, as well as an accumulation of furniture and memorabilia that hint at the building’s many uses over the years. It was built between 1890 and 1910 and was a retail store for many years. In fact, Tidball’s grandmother recalls working there as a clerk at Stirrett’s de-

the back of the building, and will reopen the outdoor Courtyard he established last summer. “This is a big, big project but it’s what I always wanted to do,” said Woolsey, who’s been a realtor in Sarnia for the past five years. Building regulations required him to build fire separations between each floor, so he’s gutted both the basement and main floor and stripped the walls back to their original hollow clay blocks, an interesting design he’s never seen before.

In the basement, where he is busy brewing, his grandmother once sold shoes for Stirrett’s when she was a teenager, said Tidball. “This space has great vibes for me,” he said, smiling. Several apartments dating to the time the building served as a strip club have been demolished, said Woolsey. “We’ve uncovered windows that we cleaned up and they just look awesome,” he said. We’ve hauled away a ton of stuff and worked really hard to get to this point.” An opening date for The Tin Fiddler brew pub and River Run Brew Co. is anticipated in June.

Local all-star cheerleaders ready to conquer the Summit tion, four of the club’s six teams have been invited to The Summit, an allstar cheerleading competition May 3-5 at the ESPN World Wide Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. The Summit is a great experience for anyone who gets the opportunity, but it can be costly. There are many different types of invitations. An At-Large ‘Bid’ means you advance to the semi-finals but still need to pay the full cost of $320 to $350. If you receive a Paid ‘Bid’ it means you can compete with no admission fee. Bluewater has received a Wild Card ‘Bid,’ which has an admission fee of $320 to $350. In addition, participants still must pay for transportation, hotels/homes and any essentials needed in Florida. The athletes and coach-

heerleading is a lot different nowadays than the old way of yelling out peppy cheers and waving pompoms in the air. All-star cheerleading is a whole new story and includes many mind-blowing features, such as “basket tosses” in which athletes are launched 20 feet into the air, with only their teammates to brace them. Bluewater Cheer Athletics in Sarnia has athletes who have no fear of falling — they just fly. Because of all their hard work and dedica-

es were beyond amazed by the news of getting the bid. “It was exciting!” said Paige Harding, one of the many Bluewater Cheer coaches. “I was so happy that I was without words!” said Gabrielle Sullivan, an athlete on two club teams. “When I found out we got the bid I broke into tears. I was so proud,” said Sydney Wylie, an athlete and coach. All-star cheerleading has been granted provisional status by the International Olympic Committee, and in 2024 you will see allstar cheerleading at the Olympics. But it still doesn’t get much recognition, and I wish people would recognize the difficulty of the sport. Now that we are going to The Summit, I hope that happens.

Editorial

Respect for funeral processions an enduring Sarnia trait

raffic in Sarnia has been pulling over to the side of the road while a funeral procession passes for at least a century. It’s a gesture of respect that, over the decades, has become a distinctive feature of the Imperial City. Out-of-towners notice it, and are impressed by the unusual display of courtesy shown by motorists and pedestrians alike. To look into the custom’s origin and longevity I contacted Jim Robb of D.J. Robb Funeral Home and Cremation Centre. The company has a long institutional memory and will celebrate its 95th anniversary this year; Jim’s grandfather Dyzart J. Robb having opened the firm in 1924. Many people are under the impression a funeral procession

has the right-of-way on city streets. That mistaken belief, Jim tells me, once led to a fatality when a member of a procession in town was hit while driving through a red traffic light. Though it wasn’t one of Robb’s processions, the company’s funeral directors have ever since distributed cards to participants explaining the need to follow the Highway Traffic Act and respect all stop signs and traffic lights. But because Sarnia drivers have always extended courtesy to funeral processions, Robb A FUNERAL PROCESSION on Victoria Street comprised of an honour guard of peace officers followed by vehicles stretching as far as the eye can see is captured in this photo taken on Aug. 13, 1964. The funeral was for the late Sarnia Police Inspector Harry Simpkins. Photo courtesy: D.J. Robb Funeral and Cremation Centre

said, his lead cars, with lights flashing, can often slow down and inch through a red light or stop sign once they see other drivers have pulled over and stopped. Const. Giovanni Sottosanti, of the Sarnia Police Service, said traffic congestion has led to the complete elimination of funeral processions in some cities, and Robb confirmed Toronto ended them long ago.

As someone who drove in Toronto for 40 years and been horn-blasted and given “the finger” by angry motorists inconvenienced by a GTA funeral procession, I’d say that doesn’t surprise me. The expression, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Sarnia anymore” came to mind. It was once common for police escorts to guide funeral processions across town faster and

with less concern for lights and traffic. That custom was dropped because of police manpower demands, Cont. Sottosanti said, but bereaved families can still pay to hire off-duty officers to provide a uniformed escort. My grandfather was a guard at Hamilton Jail, and when he died in the 1970s, his funeral received a police motorcycle escort. It was a majestic sight, but one that has sadly all but disappeared.

bish!” Dear old Dad came to mind. I circled his Pontiac Parisienne in the driveway like a hawk ready Nadine Wark to pounce on prey. But we didn’t dare ask as we already knew the answer: “Check with your mother.” They would not support us travelling to New York for a “hippie happening.” So we never did join the young people trudging to an open farmer’s field with the fabled “half a million or more.” Woodstock began in February

of 1969 when four young entrepreneurs acquired the use of the land of dairy farmer Max Yasgur for a music festival. They hoped it would draw 50,000. Little did they know Max would host more than 400,000 people from all walks of life, or that the small town of Bethel would temporarily become the third largest city in New York State. Traffic was backed up 20 miles, the state freeway shut down and performers had to be flown in by helicopter. Heavy winds and rain arrived on Friday, but didn’t dampen enthusiasm. Popular activities included mud-sliding and nude swimming in the lake. One of the many colourful characters from Woodstock was

a skinny, toothless hippie entertainer and activist by the name of Wavy Gravy. He ran a communal pig farm in California and arrived with 85 hog farmers, who became the ‘hippie police.’ They built shelters from tarps and tried to feed everyone. One morning, Wavy Gravy announced from the stage: “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.” It turned out to be some sort of oatmeal concoction. Dinner was a rice-carrot-raisin combo. Food was lacking, the sanitation facilities were poor, and drug use was rampant. However, no crime or burglary was reported. Nurses and doctors flown in treated about 6,000 people; there

were two reported deaths and one birth. In 1984, a concrete monument was erected at the site. Attempts were made to recapture the spirit of Woodstock in 1994 and again in 1999, but both endeavours failed. However, a 50th anniversary Woodstock Music and Arts Fair is planned for Watkins Glen, N.Y. this August. My sister and I still chuckle today when we recall our quest to get from Corunna to Woodstock in ’69. And darn, we missed Wavy Gravy’s breakfast in bed!

It became a countercultural phenomenon that defined a generation. My sister and I were living in our hometown of Corunna, and we both loved peace and music. We really wanted to go, but driving my small Vauxhall all that distance was an issue. Our mother changed our plans. “You can’t be serious!

Council narrowly votes to bring back kiosk at City Hall

JOURNAL STAFF

ity council has fulfilled another of Mayor Mike Bradley’s election promises and will re-establish a customer service desk in the lobby at City Hall. But the move won’t come cheap. An additional staff person must be hired at a cost of $83,500 a year, plus $8,500 for the desk, computer and phone. And another $19,500 may be needed annually to cover absences from the kiosk for lunch breaks, sick time and vacations. Bradley has argued a reception desk staffed by someone answering the phone and directing visitors sends a clear message about customer service at City Hall. He cast the pivotal vote in a 5-4 decision. “The mayor campaigned on this and received over-

whelming support. Our job is to listen to the people,” said Coun. Bill Dennis. The previous council had removed the kiosk and shortened public hours as a cost-saving measure. Staff were reorganized and the phone system automated, though the public can still speak to an attendant by dialing zero. Visitors currently go to the customer service centre, which is staff by a four-member team and located nearby on the first floor. Other councillors called the decision a waste of money that leaves a city employee vulnerably exposed to public threats. “This is an unnecessary expending of taxpayer money, workflow, and efficiency,” said Coun. Nathan Colquhoun. “Since eliminating that (staff) position everything has gotten better… So

Mike Stark called it a health and safety issue. “The reality is, people who come to City Hall generally aren’t coming because they’re happy,” he said, noting most arrive to pay bills or lodge a complaint, and some are loud or even violent. “My concern is that we stick an individual out in the middle of a lobby without any kind of protection,” he added, noting the backup is a bylaw enforcement office on the second floor. Bradley, Dennis and councillors Margaret Bird, Dave Boushy and George Vandenberg voted to restore the kiosk. Colquhoun, Stark and councillors Terry Burrell and Brian White were opposed.

Chronic pain therapy cut would be devastating: advocate

TROY SHANTZ THE JOURNAL

xpect a rise in local suicides if Ontario cuts funding for certain pain injections, an advocate says. “The medication doesn’t end the pain, it makes it tolerable,” said Lorie Chevalier, president of the Sarnia-Lambton Chronic Pain Support Group. “Without it, people are

going to kill themselves. It’s that simple.” Chevalier was responding to published reports the Ford government has assembled an “Appropriate Awareness Group” to identifying medical services deemed unnecessary, overused or inappropriate. Certain injections for pain relief are among the services under review by the group, which is comprised of Health Ministry officials and physi-

cians from the Ontario Medical Association. Chevalier said if the injections are cut or reduced it would have a devastating impact on many of the 200 chronic pain sufferers she knows through the support group. “The quality of life is going to decrease immediately,” she said. “They help you function and just get through your day.” A car accident in 2004

turned Chevalier’s own life upside down. The resulting injuries left her in constant pain, making personal relationships difficult and eventually forcing her to walk away from a promising nursing career. Depression set in, and she grappled with suicidal thoughts for four years, she said. According to the Toronto advocacy group Give Pain a Voice, the suicide rate among pain

patients is double that of the regular population. “It destroys relationships. It ruins careers. Livelihoods end. It’s like you grieve the life you had,” Chevalier said. She balances her own pain management with chapter commitments, including monthly meetups. She also researches the latest on pain management and reports it back to members. She jokes she still has the mind of a nurse and commitment to serve others. According to document obtained by CityNews, the working group has been given until May 1 to find $100 million in savings, and until Sept. 1 to save an additional $360 million.

The government has backed down on proposed changes to sedation for colonoscopies, which are no longer under consideration, the network reported. The Sarnia-Lambton Chronic Pain Support Group meets the last Wednesday of each month at the Coffee Lodge, 49 Finch Dr. For more info visit www.facebook.com/SarniaLambtonChronicPainSupportGroup.

Imperial Oil tower investigation continues

mperial Oil continues to investigate the cause of a tower collapse at the Sarnia refinery on April 2. Two huge ‘crawler’ cranes were brought into the plant last week to lift and reduce the load from the 15-story tower, which fell from its base inside the property line on Vidal Street. No one was injured and no uncontrolled release of pollutants was reported after the processing tower,

which was being prepared for maintenance, collapsed shortly before 9 p.m. “An investigation team consisting of experts from outside of our site is gathering facts in order to determine what caused this incident,” said spokesperson Kristina Zimmer. The company was also reviewing its response with city officials and the Chemical Valley Emergency Coordinating Organization.

Council welcomes new CAO Carter

Brilliant spring

arnia’s CAO received a resounding endorsement from city council at his first public meeting last week. Councillors voted unanimously to approve a bylaw officially recognizing Chris Carter as the city’s chief administrative officer. The unusual request for a recorded bylaw vote came from Coun. Mike Stark and made clear council’s support for Carter, who began the job April 1. Carter fills a position left vacant by the departure of Margaret Misek-Evans in December. He comes from Niagara Region, where he was most recently general manager of corporate services. Misek-Evans has since become CAO in the Town of Tecumseh.

Gladu joins singers gifted and otherwise at Sarnia Sings

arnia Sings will sound a conservative note this year. That’s because one of the 17 performers at the May 2 fundraiser will be Sarnia-Lambton MP Marilyn Gladu, as staunch a Conservative as you’ll find. Turns out, Gladu’s talents include an ability to sing — along with a penchant for tunes from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. Event organizer Adam Dumond makes carpool karaoke videos to promote Sarnia Sings. In one with Gladu, she belted out everything from Heart’s Magic Man to Wide Open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks, and Taylor Swift’s 22. The video has been viewed nearly 4,000 times

CATHY

DOBSON

Arts Journal on Sarnia Sings’ Facebook page since April 3, says Dumond. “I thought she’d be popular in the carpool and I was right.” Dumond invited Gladu to do carpool karaoke – a device he stole from late night talk show host James Corden – after she came recommended by Dave Burrows, master of ceremonies for Sarnia Sings. “When I asked, she immediately agreed. It was an easy yes,” he said. In fact, few have said no since Dumond launched Sarnia Sings three years

ago with help from the Sarnia Community Foundation. It’s been a runaway success, selling out the past two years. The idea came to Dumond after singing karaoke during a work conference with Royal LePage in Las Vegas. “I had so much fun,” he said. “I thought others would have a good time too and we could raise money for mental health and suicide prevention.” Each year, Dumond gathers a group of local singers to build the show around. Some have experience singing in a band. Some are really good at karaoke but have seldom been on stage. A few are sponsors and add what Dumond calls “the

personality.” They might not be the best singers but they are entertaining, he said. He hires Toronto-based band “Rock Star Live,” which comes with its own backup singers and specializes in cover songs. Participants choose their song and perform with the band on the Imperial Theatre stage. Scattered throughout the evening, local people impacted by mental health share their perspective. Sarnia Sings raised $16,000 its first year, just over $20,000 last year and should surpass that this year. It’s so popular, more than 100 people applied to

sing this year and sponsors are calling Dumond, rather than the other way around. “We are just ecstatic,” he said. “We’re definitely on to something.” Neither the show nor the carpool karaoke promos are rehearsed. Dumond admits he didn’t know if the MP could carry a tune. “One of the most nerve wracking moments is when I put them in the car and see what happens. Marilyn was a huge surprise. I thought right away, ‘This is awesome. This is a home run.’” He’s keeping the other performers under wraps and won’t say what song

Gladu is singing. “The audience really likes that surprise element,” he said. IF YOU GO: WHAT: Sarnia Sings, showcasing local singers and helping charities that focus on mental health and suicide prevention. WHERE: Imperial Theatre, 168 Christina St. WHEN: Thursday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. TICKETS: $25, available at www.imperialtheatre. net or the box office.

New pole dancing studio lets women belly up to the bar

t’s not what you think. Haylee Lacroix and Brittanny Allen, owners of Sarnia’s first pole dancing studio, want to put all preconceptions to bed. Yes, there are a few professional strippers who attend classes at Chrome 45 Pole Fitness to improve their technique and add to their pole tricks, Lacroix said. But most students work more regular jobs. “Most who come here are looking for some conditioning, to have fun and meet others with the

High School and were 19 when Lacroix talked Allen into attending their first pole class at a private home in Sarnia. “It’s always intrigued me,” said Lacroix. “I look at a pole and I don’t think stripper. I think of the sport elements. “It’s also girly and takes a lot of confidence.” When Allen left Sarnia to study at the University of Waterloo she found a pole dance studio there and continued taking classes. “At first, I thought going to a studio was a scary thing but I really didn’t have to worry,” she said. “It turns out to be a very comfortable community.” When Allen returned to Sarnia and began work as a law clerk, Lacroix was on her second maternity leave from her job at a local bank. “We were hanging out and Brittanny said, ‘What am I going to do with my life when I’m not at work?’” Lacroix recalled. “I said I had a crazy idea to start the first pole dancing studio in Sarnia.” They didn’t rush into it but spent time refining a business plan with help from the owner of the pole fitness studio Allen attended in Waterloo, as well as Lambton College

instructor John Milos, who Lacroix met when she was president of the college’s award-winning Enactus program. “Having our business plan critiqued really helped with the logistics of opening Chrome 45. We wanted to get it right from the beginning,” said Allen. “Along the way, we learned we had vastly underestimated our marketing. “And we learned about forecasting so we could anticipate the slow periods and the busy ones,” said Lacroix. Chrome 45 opened in

downtown Sarnia last fall in renovated space at 187 Christina St. The studio has ten 13-foot competition standard poles, a mirrored wall and a great sound system. “Our students are healthy women who are ambitious, determined, open-minded and not afraid to work hard and leave sweating,” said Lacroix. “Most have never tried it before.” A six-class introductory course offered one hour a week costs $130. It includes learning technique, pole jargon and easy moves like a dip

step, a pirouette and a fireman’s spin. Drop-in classes are $15 each. Both owners are certified by the Canadian Pole Fitness Association and teach 13 classes each week.

On April 28 workers, their families, friends, social justice advocates and concerned citizens are asked to attend Clifford Hansen Fire Station, 240 East St. to remember those who have died as a result of work and lend support to those who’ve been injured or suffer with an occupational disease. On the Day of Mourning we also focus attention on the suffering experienced by others in our communities who’ve been exposed to environmental toxins, many of which are released from our workplaces. The National Day of Mourning was fixed as April 28th to commemorate Third Reading in the Ontario Legislation of the first comprehensive Workers Compensation Act in Canada in 1914. In 1984 the Canadian Labour Congress declared a National Day of Mourning for workers killed and injured on the job. With Canada having led the way, this years Day of Mourning will be recognized in more than 100 countries. We encourage you to recognize the Day of Mourning in your own workplace as well. (ie. lower Flags to 1/2 Mast).

Our Day of Remembrance Sarnia & District Labour Council 900 Devine St., Sarnia, ON N7T 1X5 sdlc@bellnet.ca 519-542-2375

Although certain groups of workers seem more vulnerable than others, any one of us could be the next to suffer an injury or be diagnosed with an occupational disease.

City council to reconsider its ban on plastic leaf bags

JOURNAL STAFF

he city will reconsider its decision to ban plastic bags for leaf collection. In a cost-cutting move, council had voted to eliminate plastic bags on July 1, requiring residents to switch to paper bags for curbside pickup of yard waste. Sarnia is one of the last

municipalities in Ontario that still allows plastic bags, and the switch to paper is projected to save $254,000 a year, largely through reduced “debagging” costs at the compost centre. But following a public backlash, councillors supported a request last week from Coun. Margaret Bird to reopen debate at their next meeting on May 6. “Numerous life-cycle as-

sessments demonstrate that conventional plastic bags are better for the environment than paper bags,” Bird states in a written rationale to council, in which she also advocates burning waste plastic to generate electricity. “Plastic bags were invented as an alternative to paper grocery bags in the late 1970s to protect trees and prevent clear-cutting of our forests,

and now it seems we want to ignore that!” Though residents can mulch or compost their leaves and yard waste to create natural fertilizer, most prefer to rake and bag. In 2017, some 4.7 million kilograms (10.4 million pounds), the equivalent of ten 747 jumbo jets, was trucked to the compost centre. Almost all of it was stuffed

into lower-cost plastic bags, the banning of which has the full support of the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee. Voting to reconsider were councillors Bird, Dave Boushy, Terry Burrell and Bill Dennis, as well as Mayor Mike Bradley Councillors Mike Stark, Nathan Colquhoun, George Vandenberg and Brian White were opposed.

larger class sizes announced by the Ontario government makes these “challenging times,” said Jim Costello, education director of the Lambton Kent District School Board. “We understand that these funding changes will have a direct impact on programming, particularly in our rural schools which are experiencing a significant decline in

enrolment.” The Ford government is increasing the average class size in secondary schools to 28 from 22 students per teacher. Class sizes in Grades 4-8 will also increase marginally. The board has a contractual obligation to inform teachers of any staffing changes, and often hires many of them back before the new school year

starts. “In the past, LKDSB has made staffing adjustments to accommodate declining enrolment; however, the number of notifications for this year is higher than in previous years.” The board expects details by the end of April on its student need grants. One fund used to pay for some staff positions in the past

expires Aug. 31, the board said. The final number of layoffs can also be impacted by retirements and resignations. The board said it is continuing to talk to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario and Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation as the staffing process evolves.

Active youth pushing for change in mental health system They’ve been working on an art mural that will be revealed next week in Point Edward, near the old Balmoral Tavern. “We’re hoping it will start conversations,” member Janessa Labadie said of the project, which encourages viewers to take photos at the mural and share on social media with the hashtag #OneMoreSunset. The mural, which they’re keeping a secret until the unveiling on May 6 at 5 p.m., was designed by members of the committee together with members of the Indigenous Health Planning Committee Youth Council. “They really wanted to do something that would get youth out of the house, and they’re really hoping it goes viral on social media to spread their message,”

picturesque sunset can be more than a likeable post on Instagram. “It’s that shining moment at the end of the day — even on the bad days — that you made it through,” said Lindsay Kirkland, a member of Voices of Youth, a youth engagement committee with St. Clair Child and Youth services. “There’s no better feeling than looking up and seeing a cotton candy sky.” Kirkland and her peers are launching a sunset-themed special project for Mental Health week, May 6-10, encouraging local youth to spread the word about mental health and share their stories.

said Emily Powell, a social worker and staff ally for the Voices of Youth committee. The committee is affiliated with The New Mentality, a provincial network of youth and allies working to change the mental health system. About 20 members make up the committee, aged 12 to 24, launched last fall, and they’re already making strides in the community, she said. “From simple things like adding fidgets to the agency lobby to make it more youth-friendly, to meeting with MPPs and speaking to government about what needs to change in terms of funding for mental health. “Some of our youth have lived experiences, some have friends or family with lived experiences, and some hope to

ARCHER, Susan

- Surrounded by family on Monday April 15, 2019 at University Hospital of London Health Science Centre, Susan Kim Archer, went to be with her Lord and Saviour at the age of 59. Devoted and loving mother to Jennifer and her husband Joseph Guertin and their children Nicholas Guertin, Derek Bayly, Scarlett Guertin and baby Georgia Guertin. Also mother to Jimmy (Codi) McCabe. Beloved daughter to David and the late Mildred Archer, and dear sister to Cheryl Archer, Steve (Andrea) Archer, Mark (Nicole) Archer and the late Shelley Archer. She will be dearly missed by her special friend, Geoff Smith and by her extended family and friends. Susan was a giving person - a devoted and loving grandmother and best friend to Jennifer. She was very thrifty despite her amazing elephant collection, and she loved to “SPA”. She adored tanning and swimming, shopping, desserts and ending the day in the hot tub. Susan is now celebrating her new life with Jesus. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. Cremation has taken place. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to London Health Science Foundation for Cardiac Care (www.lhsf.ca). Memories and condolences may be shared online at www.needhamjay.com.

COULTER, Ida “Ivy” Grace (nee Munro) - Passed

away peaceful at Marshall Gowland Manor, on November 17, 2018, after a long struggle with dementia. Beloved wife of the late Robert Fraser Coulter (2004). Predeceased by son Robert (Bob) (2013). Survived by daughters Maureen O’Neil (Sarnia), Marilyn Perrin (Glencoe), grandchildren Jennifer Mowat, Sean and Pat Keating, great granddaughters Alexandra and Katie. Also survived by brother Ted Munro (Oriole), and many nieces and nephews. Ida will be especially missed by great grandchildren Bobbie Leigh Mowat (Josh Storr), and Jesse Mowat Caudle. Ida was born in Dauphin, Manitoba, and moved to Ottawa in the early 1940’s, where she met her husband. They were married in 1945 and moved to Sarnia shortly afterwards. She worked at Marshall Gowland Manor, and Vision nursing homes until she retired. She also did a lot of volunteer work for S.H.A.R.E. She loved to play cards, and always enjoyed a laugh or two! Ida has donated her remains to the Body Bequeathal Program at Western University in London. A Memorial Service will take place at McCormack Funeral Home – Stewart Chapel, 254 George Street (at College Avenue) on Tuesday April 30 at 1 pm. Friends will be received for visitation 1-hour prior to service, starting at 12 noon. Remembrances and condolences may be expressed to the family online in “Ida’s Guestbook” at mccormackfuneralhomesarnia.com. If desired, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated.

Marinaro caps great figure skating season with bronze

arnia’s Michael Marinaro and partner Kirsten Moore-Towers capped their tremendous figure skating season with a bronze medal in pairs at the World Team Trophy. Their third-place finish last week was the Canadian team’s best result at the ISU event in Japan. In the team event, skaters compete in their disciplines with short and free programs. Canada, seeded sixth enter-

ing the competition, finished fifth overall, behind the U.S., Japan, Russia and France. “I felt we performed this program better than at worlds,” Moore-Towers said of the World Championships in

Young ‘lucky charm’ helped make hockey magic in Toronto TARA JEFFREY THE JOURNAL

illon McCowan is a Mooretown Junior Flag on his hometown roster, but he’s an honorary Toronto Colt for life. The Corunna boy, who turns 11 next month, was a ‘runner’ for the Greater Toronto Hockey League’s AAA Juvenile team when Mooretown hosted the International Silverstick Tournament earlier this year. He filled water bottles, unlocked dressing rooms and did other tasks for the players aged 16 to 20. But a surprising bond was formed unlike anything head coach Bruce Sturley has seen in nearly 20 years of hockey. “He just had this infectious smile — almost like a cartoon character — just full of life and positive energy. Our guys just loved him,” said Sturley, who let McCowan announce the lineup before each game, to rousing dressing room cheers. It turns out the Grade 5 St. Joseph’s Corunna

student was a good luck charm. “The only tournament in Ontario we hadn’t won in the last ten years was the Silverstick,” said Sturley. “And we won the whole thing. The first thing my players said while they were celebrating was, ‘We want to bring Dillon to the Ontario Championships in April.’” Mom Cheryl McCowan didn’t want Dillon getting his hopes up. After all, the players were on cloud nine after the big win, and a trip to Toronto was a lot to ask. But a few weeks later the McCowans — including dad Hugh and big brother Owen, 15 — got an official invite to the OHF Championships April 12-14. The players had pooled their own money to pay for the family to stay in Toronto so Dillon could help the team skate for gold. The Colts covered the family’s hotel, parking, and even tickets to the boys’ first-ever Blue Jays game at the Rogers Centre. They were greeted

with Colts’ signed hats, sticks and jerseys, and even joined team dinners. They became part of the Colts family. “The whole thing was just incredible, they were so wonderful and welcoming to our whole family,” said Cheryl McCowan. “You just don’t see this kind of thing in hockey.” Dillon got ready for duty each game bright and early, Sturley said. He bonded with all the players, especially #98, Ethan Salter. “He’s a smaller kid but a really talented player, and these two were inseparable,” he said. “When Ethan got a penalty, we looked over and there was Dillon right there against the glass — if he could have gotten in the penalty box with him, he would have.” The Colts lost in the finals — for the third year in a row — in what was a bittersweet end to the season. “This is actually the last year of our program,” said Sturley, noting the GTHL’s U21 division, which he’s coached for the past 11 years, is folding. “So we’re finished after this year. For a lot of the boys it’s their last year of organized hockey. “So there were a lot of tears,” he added. “And Dillon was right there with them. I mean, he was all welled up, he was crying. “He didn’t want to leave at the end of the game; he was sitting on the bench with the boys in the room… It was a special weekend, and having him here made it that much more special.”

Being a runner is a prestigious job for a youngster in minor hockey, Sturley noted, and his players know how much it means to them. “It’s one of the reasons I coach them and it’s one of the reasons I’m proud of them. They just get it.” Dillon joined the team

for photos, got a silver medal, exchanged cards, emails, secured secret handshakes and lasting memories. “Just hanging out with the guys was the best part,” said Dillon, who played defence for the Mooretown Jr. Flags atom rep team this past season.

He called it the best weekend of his life. “It was just the perfect hockey experience for a 10-year-old boy,” said Cheryl. “I don’t know if I’ll ever see something that amazing ever again.”
