Christmas in the Village

Bruce Corcoran/The Chatham Voice
Avery Stewart, 7, right, reacts after her brother, Chase, 3, told The Chatham Voice what he wants for Christmas: “Presents!” Mom Cheryl can only smile at the interaction as the family fills out letters to Santa at Christmas in the Village, which took place at the Chatham-Kent Children’s Safety Village Dec. 11. Chase later admitted those presents could include such items as cars and space games.
Expect busy ERs over the holidays
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance staff advise people to follow the Boy Scouts motto to “Be Prepared” over the Christmas holidays when it comes to their health.
Be prepared with your medications; be prepared to battle the flu; and be prepared for long wait times in local emergency rooms if you go to the hospital. Willi Kirenko, vice-president and chief nursing officer with the CKHA,
said visits to the ER generally spike over the holiday season. Family doctor and health team offices are generally closed during that time, leaving people without access to their primary care providers. Typically, the local ERs
have about 120 patients a day come through the door. In 2010 over the holiday period, that number rose to about 147 a day. A year later, it leaped to 166; then 174 in 2012; followed by a drop to 153 in 2013.

Parents Paul and Melissa Walker are shown with their sons Riley, Ethan and little Emmett, who died last year at only 17 months of age. The family recently held a fundraiser in Emmett’s honour, raising nearly $13,000 for Ronald McDonald House and the London cardiac centre.
Event raises $13K in toddler’s memory So on Nov. 29, the bands rocked Deer Run Golf Course in front of 300 people. “I probably knew 85% of the people there,” Melissa said. “The people were so generous.” A silent auction and raffles throughout the evening, combined with ticket sales, helped raise nearly $13,000, after expenses. “I couldn’t believe we made that much,” Melissa said. Much of the funds raised will wind up at RMH in London, with some also headed for Toronto, she said. But Melissa wanted to donate to London’s cardiac care unit in some way, perhaps giving kids who stay there some tablets to play with. She said she hadn’t heard about RMHs until they needed to use one, and doesn’t know what she and her husband would have HE F R AR IN E done otherwise.

“We decided to do a fundraiser and raise money for the places we stayed at and helped make sure we had him for 17 months,” she said. “He is still my son and I wanted people to remember him.” Melissa said she and Paul reached out through family and friends, and a plan soon came together. One of Paul’s uncles is Jeff Mifflin of the O’Hara Brothers, Chatham-Kent’s rock ’n’ roll charity kings. They were on board. Jeff is related to the name behind the Stephanie McIlroy Band, and soon there were two acts booked for the night. Enter Walkin’ 47. Dr. Jason Denys, who plays in the band, is the Walker family physician.
We are completely thrilled to announce that together we were able to raise over $18,000.00 from our Christmas Fun-Raiser. These funds will be split 50/50 between the CK Childrens Safety Village and the CK Hospice. A big thank you to our wonderful community sponsors, donors and supporters who gave generously to the event; and had a whole lot of fun doing it!
Planning has already begun for next year; please circle the date on your calendar; November 20th and 21st. In the words of one of our many friends who stepped up, “We will build this event one cupcake at a time!!” We couldn’t agree more!

Donald House at Sick Kids in Toronto, as well as the one in London,” Melissa added. “It was a rollercoaster. With two other kids (Riley, 9, and Ethan, 5) too. They would come stay with us at Ronald McDonald House, but stay with their grandparents through the week so they could go to school.” November’s party wasn’t the first fundraiser in Emmett’s name. In September of 2013, family had organized a golf tournament that wound up raising more than $6,000, which was donated to the London RMH. Melissa said that earned Emmett a place on the House’s wall in honour of the donation. Melissa said through the South Raleigh fire hall, where Paul is a volunteer firefighter, they prepared a meal for RMH London in September as well, trying to give a little back. As for next year, Melissa said it’s too early to tell if there will be another party night in Emmett’s name. But she thinks it could work every few years for sure. “As long as we clear our expenses, it’s still a great night out,” she said. “Anything that helps them (RMH) out is worth it.”

Help keep ER traffic down over Christmas
Continued from page 1
The Cultural Centre
BLENHEIM NEWS TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2014 - 28
The added numbers put a strain on the system. But there are ways people can help keep those numbers down, lowering the chance they’ll be one of the people sitting in the ER waiting room for hours. A first option for someone, depending on sever-
ity of a person’s ailment, could be to call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000. “Through that phone number, they can speak with a registered nurse who can provide health advice about how they can take care of their health problem themselves or whether they should go

to the emergency department,” Kirenko said. She also advises people to get a flu shot. “Flu spreads when groups of people gather together. We tend to gather at this time of year,” she said. “Get a flu shot to protect yourself and loved ones.” Kirenko said flu shots are readily accessible these days, with regular clinics, through doctor’s offices, and pharmacies. Another element to help stay out of the ER is the tried and true method of frequently washing one’s hands, which can go a long way in helping to prevent the transmission of infection, Kirenko said. “Those two things can help prevent many emergency department visits over the holidays,” she said. She adds that another smart move is to think ahead with prescription medication. Ensure you have enough to cover you over the holiday period and into January, as some doctor’s offices will be closed into the new year due to family vacations. If people follow this advice, Kirenko believes it will help cut down on the overload in the ERs over the holidays. But some
visits will be understandably unavoidable. She advises people to bring a list of their medications with them to help health-care providers avoid medication combinations that could cause additional problems. Kirenko also suggests you bring items that will help pass the time, as there will be long waits. Over the past 30 days, the typical time between a person’s registration in the ER and being seen by a physician, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant is 3.6 hours. She said nine out of 10 ER patients have been seen in that time, or less. During the holidays, with increased traffic, expect the wait time to get longer. Kirenko reminds people that patients are seen on the basis of critical needs. People in greater distress and danger to their health will receive quicker treatment than someone coming in with a sore throat, for example. To help pass the time in the ER waiting room, Kirenko recommends people arm themselves with portable distractions. “Bring along items, such as a book or tablet or phone, to be entertained,” she said. “We do have a Wi-Fi code.”

Age-friendly effort sorting through survey feedback
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
ommendations is next June. Andrews said he’ll bring them to council at that time. In the meantime, Andrews will analyze the responses and build his suggested improvements. There are eight areas the community must address in its quest for an age-friendly designation from the World Health Organization, Andrews said. They include: • Outdoor spaces and buildings; • transportation; • community support and health services; • housing; • social participation; • civic participation and employment; • communication and information; and • respect and social inclusion. Andrews said a big challenge for Chatham-Kent is its rural and urban blend. “We’re a regional municipality, but it’s a very spread out population. And each community is different,” he said. In terms of responses, Andrews said outdoor spaces and buildings offered up a bit of a conundrum. “It was a thing people had the most opinions about, but they ultimately
say it’s not as important as transportation or housing,” Andrews said. Snow removal was an issue regularly discussed in the surveys. Given the amount of snow we received last year, people complained that while sidewalks and roads were plowed, the resulting piles of snow between the two caused problems, as it made it difficult to navigate from road to sidewalk after parking one’s car. A lack of public washrooms, the need for longer crosswalk times and better communication were also mentioned. “Someone thought the bus routes, dates and times should be published when garbage and recycling information is,” Andrews said. The communication issue blended with transportation, as it was a top priority, he said. “If you can’t get out of your home, how do you get to needed services,” Andrews asked. The responses have given Andrews plenty to work on. “I don’t want to make it sound
The survey responses are in, but the people behind the push to have Chatham-Kent named as an age-friendly community are months away from publishing its recommendations. Devin Andrews, age-friendly project co-ordinator, said the survey period wrapped up the night the kids went trick or treating. In all, he received 613 responses. Added with another 112 people who took part in various focus groups, and the age-friendly effort received detailed feedback from 725 people. It may not seem like much in a municipality with a population of more than 100,000 people, but Andrews begs to differ. “It was fantastic response. London received 680, Windsor 500, and Toronto had 524,” he said, adding Toronto asked for essay-like responses. “We’ve got a good base on which to build our recommendations.” The province recently put out a notice to communities asking them to apply for age-friendly funding. It comes with a Jan. 30 deadline for applications.

’Burg water coming to a boil We may find out soon if the municipality is really serious about wanting public input on where Wallaceburg will be drawing its water from in the future. A “public input” meeting held late last month hosted by Stantec Consulting and the Chatham-Kent PUC drew virtually unanimous criticism from attendees and others. Attendees were shown options to maintain the Wallaceburg water treatment plant, source Lake Huron water, and a plan to draw water from Lake Erie. Notified the Wallaceburg and Lake Huron options were basically off the table, it appeared to those in attendance they weren’t being asked but told what was going to happen. There is an old saying to the effect that “if you don’t want the answer, don’t ask the question.” Wallaceburg Coun. Jeff Wesley called the study’s methodology lacking, the financial rationale shaky and the quality of Lake Erie water poorer than that upstream. Other than that, the effort could be deemed a success. Lake Erie water quality forced the closure of intakes in Ohio this year, resulted in foul smelling, discoloured water in Chatham and prompted Detroit to plan on changing its source to Lake Huron. No stranger to taking on consultants (a firm employed by local health officials engaged in a smear campaign against him just to try and shut him up), Wesley is ready for a fight, as is rookie councillor Carmen McGregor who also can’t find anyone who favours Lake Erie water. The Wallaceburg and District Chamber of Commerce is opposing Lake Erie water, and local residents have taken up an online petition which garnered more than 100 responses the first day it opened. It remains to be seen if the consulting firm plows ahead with a plan that is opposed by the public, business, local elected officials and costs more than maintaining the Wallaceburg system. Will it be government of the people, by the people and for the people or government of consultants, by consultants and for consultants? Stay tuned.

Opinion
An uneven religious field Sir: I was interested in Robert Hayes’ letter in the Dec. 4 Chatham Voice (“Saudi Arabia short on religious freedoms”) about the dangers of Islamic sharia law in Saudi Arabia. U.S. President Barack Obama has called for joint efforts to eliminate the “cancer” of jihadist terror in Iraq and Syria after Islamic State militants murdered American journalist James Foley. But, as Robert points out, Obama doesn’t talk about Saudi Arabia, where 97% of its 19 million citizens are Muslims, as are the majority of the eight million foreigners who live and work in Saudi Arabia. Non-Muslims are forbidden from practicing their religion there, where Islam is the only religion allowed.
While Muslim groups rage about even the smallest perceived slight against Islam in non-Muslim countries such as Canada, Saudi Arabia crushes all non-Muslim religions within its borders. I don`t believe there are any Christian church buildings in the country and even a gathering of Christians for prayers or to celebrate Christmas or Easter is forbidden. And while beheading its citizens who convert away from Islam, Saudi Arabia is busy funding the spread of Islam in other countries. Saudi oil profits, in particular, play a significant role in building mosques around the world. We should be aware how the concept of Sharia law is advancing in Canada at both the
local and provincial levels. The provincial governments of Canada for years have tacitly recognized Sharia law for Canada’s Muslim minority. In 2003, Muslims in Ontario attempted to make the provincial government set aside its laws and have only the Sharia law apply to Muslims. After a fierce debate, the premier eventually stepped in and pushed back against Sharia. Efforts by Canadian Muslims to push for Sharia law at the municipal level have met more immediate success. A few years later, the cafeteria in a Toronto school was turned into a mosque on Friday afternoons so that Muslim students could listen to an Imam from a nearby mosque and pray
towards Mecca. The same scene was repeated at public schools across Canada. We’re not talking about a minority. In a 2011 survey, 62% of the Muslims in Ottawa expressed a desire to live under some form of Sharia law. By contrast, public schools in Canada provide neither facilities for the Christian students to gather and worship, nor kosher food for the Jewish students. Makes you think, eh? I am so grateful I am not subject to Sharia law. As long as we realize the dangers of allowing Sharia law in Canada, I can sit in a Christian church in Chatham and worship a loving God without being afraid of being beheaded. Stephen J. Beecroft Chatham

Opinion
Of superpowers and nice people I discovered a new power quite by accident last week. No sooner had we started delivering The Voice when word came that Transport Canada had dropped its demand that eight turbines located near the Chatham Airport be removed due to safety concerns. In the editorial written the day before the about-
Jim Blake face, I suggested that the Chatham-Kent get on board with Transport Canada’s ruling, even if
we needed to eat some crow to do it. I could hear the “Ha!” echoing from the Civic Centre across the river. Or maybe I was imagining it. Having the facts change after you go to press is every journalist’s worst nightmare. Even though the online edition was updated, there is still that sinking feeling that
you’re going to appear to be an idiot looking for a village. It’s the risk that you take writing about local topics. Since we have plenty of crows and I know someone who’s rather famously good with his Big Green Egg, I’ll be dining in style on crow wings. Knowing that I’ve been
Christmas Celebrations
given the power to have things change after I write about them, I’m thinking of writing that we don’t need a Junior A team, Chinese investment won’t happen and the Everlast Group’s tower on King Street won’t be done on time – just to see what happens. Seriously, the tone of the editorial holds. We shouldn’t be differing with experts on air safety. If the experts believe the airport is safe, it must be, right? They wouldn’t just change the regulations to avoid a messy political issue or to avoid us learning that there were at least two federal departments who didn’t know what each other was doing. We’ll see if council has the appetite to bill Transport Canada for the legal fees we incurred fighting a fight that didn’t need to be fought.
The power of kind words
One of the best things about writing stories at this time of year is the amount of goodwill and good deeds being done. Everywhere you look, people are helping people, and we like nothing better than to write about it. Our readers seem to like it too. Since we’re a small business, we’re used to having to do more than one job at a time. The multi-tasking left me running a bit behind, and when I dropped papers off at one of our dealers, a woman met me in the parking lot. “Do you have The Chatham Voice? I was here earlier today and it wasn’t here yet. I love your paper.” I hear that a lot. It will never get old. By the way, Bruce, she loves your column. It was a nice end to a looooong day.

’Burg residents against Erie water
By Aaron Hall Contributing Writer
What are Salt Lamps?
Salt lamps are large pieces of pure Himalayan Salt with a small bulb inside. They can be solid pieces of salt or decorative baskets filled with large crystals of salt. Himalayan salt lamps are made from pure, food grade, himalayan salt crystals and can even be powdered to use as salt in recipes if needed. The importance of negative ions…Salt lamps are natural negative ion generators. At any given time, there are both positive and negative ions in the air. Negative ions occur more often in nature and they are often created by things like lightning storms, sunlight, waterfalls, and ocean waves. This is one of the reasons people often report feeling renewed or refreshed after a storm or at the beach. Positive ions are often created by electronic devices like computers, TVs, microwaves, and even vacuum cleaners and can often exacerbate problems like allergies, stress and sleep trouble. Negative ions can neutralize positive ions (they bond together) and help cleanse the air. The unique combination of salt and a light source in salt lamps are what cause the negative ions. Salt is hygroscopic, meaning that it attracts water to its surface and this water evaporates quickly due to the small amount of heat from the light source (this is also why salt lamps tend to sweat and appear wet in humid climates). The negative ions are generated during the evaporation process. Since things like airborne mold, bacteria, and allergens often carry a positive charge, they can be neutralized by negative ions.

An online petition has been launched against Stantec Consulting and the Chatham-Kent PUC. The petition on change.org is calling for no Lake Erie water for Wallaceburg. “After trying to get a Wallaceburg group to speak up about our ‘no choice’ options, and attempts at a letter-writing campaign to the consultants, I heard last week that a final decision was going to be made this coming week,” said Wallaceburg resident Henrie Timmers, who started the online petition. “I, and a lot of fellow Wallaceburg residents, did not like the idea that we had absolutely no input into the decision, and our questions were unanswered. That was the start of the online petition. We will be heard.” The Chatham-Kent PUC hired Stantec Consulting to conduct the Wallaceburg and Area Water Supply System Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. After presenting in detail a series of options at a meeting on Nov. 26, which included rehabilitating the current Wallaceburg water treatment plant, Stantec’s “preferred alternative” was connecting to the Chatham water sup-

ply, which gets its water from Lake Erie. Timmers said he was not impressed with the meeting. “Instead of being asked for opinions or concerns, we were subjected to nearly an hour of ‘facts’ presented via PowerPoint while a representative read every line of a booklet we had already memorized during our wait,” Timmers said. “Five options were listed in the booklet we had read and heard repeated. The first, and least expensive was to repair our existing water system. The fifth option was to increase and improve our secondary source from Sarnia. Options two, three and four were just variations of how to get water from Lake Erie via Chatham.” Timmers added: “Before we even had a chance to speak or give an opinion, we were told that options one and five had been ruled out by the consultants for reasons that still make no sense. It appeared the only options would be which roads the new line from Chatham would come from.” Timmers said questions were not being answered at the meeting. “Many people stood up to say they did not trust Lake Erie water, and more that said they didn’t want it,” he said. “All of these opinions were brushed off with technical doublespeak … confuse facts with rhetoric and opinions of the consultants.” Wallaceburg Coun. Jeff Wesley said he has not heard from anyone in favour of the consultants’ recommendation. “I have yet to have a single person tell me they prefer Lake Erie,” he said. “Since the public meeting, every e-mail I have received is against Lake Erie.” Wesley submitted a lengthy letter to Stantec explaining more concerns he has, including a lack of consultation with Walpole Island, and Chatham-Kent making a mistake by putting all of their “water eggs” in one basket. Wallaceburg Coun. Carmen McGregor said she is hearing the same feedback in the community as Wesley. “Everybody I talked
to throughout the campaign, since the campaign and even since these meetings … I’ve not heard one person in Wallaceburg say they want water from Lake Erie,” she said. “I have not heard anyone say that that is the route to go.” Karen Debergh, president of the Wallaceburg and District Chamber of Commerce, said rehabilitating the existing Wallaceburg Water Treatment Plant should be the way to go. “In the short run, rehabilitating the existing building is a far less cost to the taxpayer, so many other factors can come into play over the next 40 years, it is hard to validate the future costs that were presented to us,” she said. “I have every confidence in Jeff and Carmen to bring the issue forward to council what is best for our community and surrounding area.” Stantec and the PUC are set to meet next week to discuss the feedback received from the public. “Stantec Consulting has done the technical and environmental reviews, but maybe there is something that is overlooked,” said Rob Bernardi, facilities and systems manager for the Chatham-Kent PUC. “So we have to take into consideration the public’s comments.” Bernardi said there is a possibility that information from the feedback could alter the preferred recommendation from the consultants. “Yes, because we do have to take into consideration the public comments,” Bernardi said. “So, it is not that they’re not looked at or forgotten. They do become part of the report as well. All the comments will be inserted into appendices of the environmental study report. They will be put on public display as well.” Bernardi said no dates have been set for the final public consultation meeting. Feedback is still being gathered as well, as people can contact one of these two individuals with your comments: Andrew Galloway, engineering technologist, with the PUC at 519-436-0119, ext. 313; or andrewga@chatham-kent. ca.

C-K to hand over keys to 2 daycares
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
It’s just a matter of signing a few legal documents, but the municipality will soon hand over the keys to two day-care centres. Families should not feel the change much, if at all. Lucy Brown, general manager of health and family services, said the
move was necessary after a cut in provincial funding of $1.4 million. After searching internally for cost savings, the municipality was still about $845,000 short of its needed target. The transfer of the May Court Childcare Learning Centre in Chatham and Wallaceburg Childcare Learning Centre in Wal-
laceburg to private and non-profit groups will cut costs by an estimated $700,000. “This is $700,000 worth of services – it’s cost avoidance, rather than savings. The whole thing was predicated in a reduction of our funding,” Brown said. “We had to find a way to either chop services or do something
differently.” Brown believes the children at both centres are in good hands. “In Wallaceburg, it will be The Family Centre. They have a long history in Wallaceburg. The community is familiar with them,” she said. “In Chatham, it will be the Growing Together Family Resource Centre. They
have several centres in Blenheim.” The centres will close over the Christmas vacation period, as they have done in the past. When they reopen Jan. 5, they’ll be under new ownership. Brown anticipates the transition will be pretty seamless. “Obviously there will be some new faces and some

News
Good times with Goodfellows Blake. I was Friesian, and he was from the southern part of the Netherlands. At least that’s what the Dutch fellows told us with a huge smile. It was all part of the fun of the Street Sales on Friday for the Goodfellows. We volunteered several weeks ago, and spent from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. outside of Mark’s Work Wearhouse and Winner’s on St. Clair Street exchanging copies of the annual Goodfellows newspaper for monetary donations. We weren’t alone. It was part of a Chatham-wide blitz that took place Friday and Saturday. It was great fun, and for the most part we were greeted with friendly smiles and giving hearts. Thanks to the generosity of the citizens of Chatham-Kent, the Goodfellows raised $36,100, which is $300 more than last year. You do learn a few things while standing outside of stores in the late-afternoon chill. One is that young men, for the most part, don’t like to give to charity via volunteers standing outside of stores. Another is that, by and large, women do give in that manner, to the point they’ll poke their husbands to open up the wallet or coin purse.
Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription
Party time ... yawn
Talk about getting old. We went over to hang out with friends Saturday mid-afternoon, and were home before 10 p.m. The problems? Age and too much food on those darned Big Green Eggs. Yeah, we were at Sensei Jeff’s place, the man with the two Eggs. We brought too much food; they had too much food, and we cooked too much of it. It started as soon as we sat down. Jeff and Tammy pulled out their chicken and cream cheese dip. Shredded barbecued chicken thighs in a sauce atop a spicy cream cheese base, and covered in shredded cheese. That dip is awesome. And filling. Be we were just getting started. We put wings on the barbecue. And ate most of them. Then came the Brie cheese with garlic, with ciabatta buns for dipping. Another filling dish. As great as that is, we had some left, as we and the kids were getting full. Add in a cheeseburger dip, followed by bacon-wrapped wedge fries. These are sinfully delicious and easy to make. Yet they didn’t all get consumed. And the finale for the night, chocolate chip cookies baked on the egg too. Very tasty. Yet with four kids and four adults, they did not get inhaled. I was stuffed after the chicken wings, let alone the Brie, or the fries. I didn’t even go near those cookies. So four very full middle-aged folks played some darts, yawned, laughed and eventually gave in and called it an early night. We went home with enough leftovers for dinner Sunday night. And we didn’t even cook the rye and garlic shrimp I had planned on doing, or another batch of Jeff’s chicken thighs, or his pork burgers.

The Defiance Running Club’s third annual Jingle all the Way 5K run/walk attracted 105 participants Saturday morning.

Wanted: Toys The Chatham Voice
The local Salvation Army in Chatham-Kent is in the middle of its annual toy drive, but the need is so far outweighing the supply. Monday marked the start of packing toy hampers, and volunteers soon realized they have a shortage. In fact, there are only about enough toys for 20% of the hampers to be distributed here in Chatham. Each year, the local Salvation Army distributes more than 1,000 food and toy hampers to families throughout Chatham-Kent. This year’s numbers are 1,100 food and
1,100 toy hampers. In Chatham, there are more than 500 toy hampers to pack this year. The need in Chatham is higher than in past years, and the supply is lower. Toys are needed for all ages, but particularly in girls 7-14 and boys 9-14. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped off at the church at 46 Orangewood Blvd. or the family services offices at 19 Raleigh St. Both locations are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Christmas hampers go out Dec. 18 and 19.

Fox following in brother’s tracks
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Entering the OHL typically comes with pressure. Teenage hockey players are expected to move away from home and perform on a nightly basis in front of thousands of fans. When your older brother is the reigning OHL goal scoring champion, and was signed to an NHL contract, and one of your current teammates is widely considered the best NHL prospect on the planet, that pressure and fishbowl environment is magnified tenfold.
That is the life of Thamesville’s Trent Fox. Fox is playing for the OHL’s Erie Otters, the same team from which his brother Dane just graduated. Plus, he’s playing alongside current phenom Connor McDavid, who will likely be the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. “It feels cool to play for a team that I have watched play for the past three seasons,” said Fox of watching his older brother Dane in Erie.

forward, who played his minor hockey with the Chatham-Kent Cyclones and London Jr. Knights, is paving his own path. “I’m my own player,” said Fox. “Dane had a great run with the Otters and I hope to be as successful, in my own way.” The younger Fox hasn’t ignored his older brother completely, however, as Dane, who signed with the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks last year, has always been there to support his brother. “Dane is always giving me advice,” said Trent, who played at Ridley Col-

lege last season after being drafted in the fifth round by the Erie Otters. “I know that I have to work hard, both in games and at practices. Dane always tells me to get the puck in deep and do the little things right. He tells me to be consistent. My motivation is just to work hard and play hard every game, and to play at the highest level possible. “ If he needs another example of a player competing at a high level, Fox has to look no further than his teammate McDavid, who is far and away the best player in the OHL this season. McDavid, is not only the best player in the OHL, he’s the best player his age in the world, something he’s proved while representing Team Canada at various tournaments, and through his dominance in the OHL since he entered the league with an exceptional status exemption at the age of 15. “Connor McDavid is an amazing, world-class player,” Fox said of his Erie Otters teammate. “Playing with him has been a great experience. He sets a good example, and as a team we all learn from him.“ Despite the amazing individuals around him, Fox has a mentality similar to many hockey players; that his team comes first, and his personal goals are
designed to help his team win. “My goal this season is to help the Otters to be successful. Our team has one goal, a team approach to winning with the ultimate goal being the Memorial Cup.” With the talent, including Fox himself and superstars like McDavid and Dylan Strome in the Otters
organization, a Memorial Cup is not out of reach. Although Fox is a team first player, he also has aspirations of bigger things in his personal career. “Beyond this season I know I need to continue to work hard all the time,” said the 17-yearold Fox, who attended Lambton-Kent Composite School in Dresden.
