OPP Staff Sgt. Mike Beatty packs groceries at Essex Foodland on Thursday to raise money for Cop Camp.
by Jennifer Cranston Twenty years ago OPP Sr. Const. Dave Bucher was fairly new to the Kingsville Police Service. After serving with the Windsor Police Service and leaving to briefly pursue his own business, he was grateful to have another opportunity to serve his community as a police officer. Shortly after his arrival in Kingsville the position of Community Services Officer opened up and he was fortunate enough to take the job. He was vaguely familiar with a camping program run by Windsor Police, and after working with the youth of Kingsville, he decided that the children of Kingsville deserved one of their own. He recruited other police volunteers, courted sponsorship from the business community in Kingsville, and Cop Camp was born the summer of 1994. The first camp happened in 1994 and hosted about 16 boys. It took place at Camp Henry on Point Pelee. These campers came from various backgrounds and demographics. Grade six teachers from Kingsville schools nominated the students they believed would most benefit from the experience base on several criteria. “The first year we left it up to the teachers to decide who would benefit most,” explained Sr. Const. Bucher. “The second year, we asked for teachers’ input but used our own discretion to choose the campers. Some were simply deserving, some were kids we felt would benefit from positive interaction with police officers.” Bucher says it is a misconception that the first kids at Cop Camp were “troubled” kids. There was another change in the second year. A second camp was added for girls. Sr. Const. Bucher ran the camp for the first four years, until the OPP took over policing in Kingsville. Over those years the camp evolved and expanded. Police officers from other communities volunteered, so campers were recruited from other communities. In 1998 the OPP took over policing in Kingsville. Sr. Const. Bucher moved to the Leamington Police Service. Continued on Page 2

The OPP continued the tradition of Cop Camp, expanding it to include every town in Essex County served by the OPP. It has grown and evolved over the years but some things have stayed
Services Officers still select campers from the V.I.P (Values, Influences and Peers) Program, based on their own criteria. Ò It couldnÕ t have been done then without the generosity of the community and it couldnÕ t be done now without it,Ó said Sr. Const. Bucher. He says it is still the volunteers who make it all happen. 16 Centre Street, Essex “These officers take essexfreepress@on.aibn.com their vacation days and time off and donate their time to Cop Camp,Ó he said. Sr. Const. Bucher has visited Cop Camp in recent years but has not been heavily involved. He hopes to volunteer in whatever capacity he can, following his retirement in four years. The originator of Cop Camp is pleased with the continued growth, evolution and success the program. This 16 Centreof Street, Essex summer will mark the essexfreepress@on.aibn.com 20th Anniversary of Cop Camp. Ò It astounded me how it took off and how itÕ s evolved,Ó he said.

IÕ m amazed at how these guys have carried it on.Ó Cop Camp now hosts about 90 kids. It takes place at Gess wood Camp and has a strong leadership and community service theme. The 90 Campers account for one student from each grade six VIP class in every community served by the OPP in the County. Essex OPP Const. Joe Meloche has been involved with Cop Camp since before the OPP took over policing in Essex in 2009. He explained that there are close to 30 police volunteers who participate each year. Ò ItÕ s an awesome camp and an awesome time,Ó he said.
The very first Cop Camp in 1994 had a handful of volunteers and about 16 campers.

CIB hosts Legacy Tree Planting
by Sylene Argent On Tuesday, April 22 members of the Communities in Bloom committee and staff of the Town of Essex traveled to six area elementary schools to celebrate Earth Day and implement the beautification project called the Ò Legacy Tree Planting ProgramÓ for area students. Throughout the day, this group met with grade eight students at Essex Public, Holy Name,
Colchester North, Harrow Public, St. Anthony, and ƒ cole ƒ lŽ mentaire Catholique Sainte-Ursule. The grade eight students helped plant a red maple on the school grounds that the kindergarten students will have to look over as they progress through school. The Legacy Tree Planting Program is designed to engage area kindergarten students and teach them the importance of caring for

Tree Planting program, Rogers said, the CIB hopes to bring awareness to the importance of the environment while planting and maintaining indigenous trees in the area. In the next several years, the trees planted at the school should grow significantly, Rogers commented, and will help the students to understand the significance of the natural environment in the area and its preservation. The red maples that were planted, Rogers said, are nice trees. In the autumn, the leaves turn a bright crimson red before they fall to the ground. Being able to enjoy looking at the red leaves in the fall should help enhance the Canadian identity. The CIB committee mascots Bloomer and Petunia were on site at the schools to help plant the trees and encourage the youth to look for ways to enhance the natural environment around them. This event has been made possible through funding from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, a national charity funding over a thousand local environmental projects annually.

the environment. The grade eight students, after having planted the tree, were then able to present the tree to the youngsters as a parting gift before they move on to high school. Communities in Bloom chairperson Ron Rogers hopes the program will still be going on when the kindergarteners are in grade eight, so they can plant another indigenous tree for future youngsters to tend to. Ò This will bring awareness to the kids about passing nature onto the next generation,Ó Rogers said.

The Essex Free Press is an audited publication with controlled circulation of 10,000.
When you look at cancer statistics they are grim and staggering. In 2013 in Canada, it is estimated there were over 187,000 people diagnosed with cancer and around 75,000 cancer-related deaths. April is daffodil month, a month that is used to raise awareness about cancer and to raise funds to fight it. You might have seen people wearing the yellow daffodil pins. ItÕ s just one way they show that they support the cause and have joined the fight. In the past, when people would say, Ô Cancer affects all of us,Õ I took it in stride. I did have some friends who had family members who were fighting the disease or who had lost the battle, but it hadn’t hit my family. Yet. A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with prostrate cancer. I had to take him to the cancer centre for the doctor appointments and then the treatments. He received excellent care and the treatment was great. It was time consuming, but it gave my dad and I a chance to talk as we sat waiting in the lobby for treatments
or appointments and during those car rides to and from the centre. My dad didnÕ t seem too bothered by it. He was pretty at ease. But he explained to me that he was older and had already lived a long life. There were people at the centre who were young, with their lives ahead of them. After his prostate cancer was cleared, they discovered a tumor on one of his kidneys. The doctor though said it was very slow growing and would not be a concern. No treatment required. I know my family was lucky. Many arenÕ t. There are many events held in this region to support cancer research and to aid in the fight against it. In Essex we have daffodil campaigns, relays for life and the McGregor Music Festival Ð just to show a few examples. If you attend these events, you can see just how many families have been affected. These people represent our fellow residents, our neighbours and sometimes our own Continued on Page 8

Letter to the Editor In regard to the issue of the old arena, what I donÕ t understand is this Ô old barnÕ was dangerous, falling apart and wasn’t possible to fix when you were pushing for the new arena. Now that you have got us paying for the new one Ð even families that will never use it Ð youÕ re now going to figure out a new expense to strap to us. With this forced amalgamation, which occurred several years ago and no citizen wanted, youÕ ve no doubt enjoyed the benefits of the extra taxes. And I know that there are expenses and all these arenas now, but does the spending ever stop? Now, with the old arenaÕ s possible resurrection, possible silo project, and no doubt others in mind it never
seems to end. I know the councillors, like any politicians, donÕ t really care what we think, but a good job sometimes means restraint, you know, like you might do with your own money. Though these Ò bigÓ accomplishments may give you bragging rights for years to come, they might leave us citizens like those in other small towns in the county holding the bag. P.S. You can’t keep upping taxes to pay for your dreams. Ken Colenutt Essex
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Facelift for Civic Centre Imagine having to restore a building that is 39 years old! Imagine having to spend $2.2 million more than it cost to build it to do that! According to the newspaper report, we, as taxpayers to the county, have to pay half of the cost, or 51 per cent to be exact. What kind of construction, what kind of contractors, built that grossly inadequate building in the first place? It would be interesting to know who made decisions about construction that were not sturdy and efficient. DidnÕ t they know those windows were not durable and efficient? Were they part of the construction or just for glamour? This talk about crumbling brick, even to Warden Tom Bain saying his house brick of 30 years is crumbling, is amazing. All that makes me think of how they made brick in Zimbabwe, fully aware that it would crumble. I thought that was impossible in Canada because the house I lived in as a child was 60 years old and when I drove by it a few months ago the bricks were still strongly in place without repair. And all the brick houses along the same road are still very much intact. Then the report claims Tom Bain said all this new expense will make it last for another 20 or 30 years. Is
that all? When Essex was incorporated as a village in 1884 a report about the county seat questions why it was not built in Essex instead of Sandwich and explains it was there because most of the settlement was there. It maintained it should be in Essex because that was the centre of the County, and it suggested it would not be long until the county seat would be built there. We now know it was another 60 years before we had the county building. I wonder what condition those Sandwich buildings are in. When I recall the condition of buildings in England and Ireland, I am sure they are more than 35 years old without all that money spent on them for refurbishing. Something was wrong at the time of construction of our county building! We remember the lawsuits about five years after it was built because of construction problems. The interior council chamber has been redesigned and when I was there recently I thought it was a very poor result. The councilors used to sit in a semi-circle among the spectators but now they are at one end and it is very difficult to hear what is being said. Enough of my bashing the decisions of those who are supposed to be experts. I know only one thing. Buildings have been built to last more than 100 years.

EDHS artists compete in county wide art show
Lindsay Gherasim and Jennifer Young of EDHS are hoping to do well at the Working with the Environment art show and competition at the Artspeak Gallery in Windsor.
by Jennifer Cranston Two students from EDHS have entered the Ò Working with the EnvironmentÓ Art Show. The event is hosted by the Art Council of Windsor and Region (ACWR) and supported by UNIFOR Local 200. Jennifer Young of grade 11 and Lyndsay Gherasim of grade 12 have both entered paintings in the competition that invited high school students across Windsor and Essex County to submit pieces under the theme of labour or the environment. Gherasim says that art is a huge part of her life and she expects it to be a life-long hobby. Her favorite mediums include sketching with pencil and paint. Young says sheÕ s been drawing since she was about six years old. Currently Amine is one of her favorite styles. She started with sketching and has moved into digital art. Her submission to this
show is only her second painting. For both girls this is their first art show. YoungÕ s piece is called Ò You Hold Your World.Ó
It is of a woman holding the world in a protective way. GherasimÕ s picture is a misty forest with a skull

Letter to the Editor... The members of the Windsor Essex County Prostate Cancer Support Group extend our appreciation to the more than 7,000 donors and to the volunteers who supported the Ò ItÕ s In Your JeansÓ capital equipment campaign of the Windsor Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation. The announcement on April 11 that the Cancer Centre Foundation raised $5.4 million for the new Dr. Richard Boyd Regional Comprehensive MenÕ s Health Program at Windsor Regional Hospital was thrilling news for our membership, and men and their families throughout Windsor-Essex. We also applaud Windsor West MPP Teresa Piruzza for her diligent work in securing funding from the Ontario government for annual program operating expenditures. Our self-help group was organized 20 years ago to provide comfort, information, and hope to newly diagnosed
prostate cancer patients and their families and awareness and education to the community at large. Please visit us at www.wpcsg.com for more information. With one in seven men at risk for a diagnosis of prostate cancer in his lifetime, it is reassuring to know that men in our community will have access to advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment, including the da Vinci robot, in our home region. This new medical program will be only the second of its kind in Ontario. It will be a source of pride for our community. Thank you to donors like program sponsor Cypher Systems Group and each and every supporter for being at the heart of the fight against prostate cancer.
Cancer does affect us all... Continued from Page 4 family and friends. So, yes, cancer does affect us all. I know that cancer treatment is better now than it has ever been Ð from diagnosis until the patient is cleared. I know that more people survive now than ever before. And there is a great beam of hope on the horizon that breakthroughs will be made. We are winning the battle,

It is called Ò Becoming One.Ó The contest offers four prizes in total: 1st, 2nd and 3rd judgesÕ awards with awards of $250, $150, and $100
respectively, and a PeopleÕ s Choice Award with a prize of $500. Young says that if she wins any prize money it will go towards a trip to an Anime convention she would like to attend. Gherasim hopes to win money for more art supplies. All submissions are on display at Artspeak Gallery at 1942 Wyandotte St. E. in Windsor until Friday Apr. 25. You can also view the studentsÕ art at acwr.net/artspeak-gallery/environment. This website is also where art lovers can vote for their favorite in the PeopleÕ s Choice category. EDHS art teacher Emily Carruthers believes it is important for students to enter contests like this one. Competition pushes youth to achieve great things. Ò It is important for young artists to be recognized in their community,Ó she said.

Leamington meat canning will feed those in need
by Sylene Argent For the past 16 years, the tomato grading station at the Leamington Heinz facility has been the site that hosts the annual meat-canning event where volunteers come together to prepare food for those in need all around the world. The tradition continued last week. The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) organizes the local meat-canning event. This year volunteers set out to

process 30,000 pounds of chicken in four days, last Monday through Thursday. A semi-truck hauls the mobile meat canner and boiler for the event. Labeling and meat refrigeration machines were also onsite to help
complete the project. The 2014 canning event marked the third year the Leamington volunteers processed chicken. The Leamington meat-canning project is one of two Canadian stops on a meat-canning tour throughout Canada and
the U.S. The tour, which began in Sterling, Ohio in October, will end this week in Elmira, Ontario. This tour made many stops in the U.S., including Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Indianapolis, Iowa, and Illinois. In the 2013 fiscal year, 514,512 cans were collected from all the events and shipped to those in need across the world, including Bosnia, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, and even here in Canada and in the U.S. North Korea received the largest donation of cans. Peter Fiss is the volunteer coordinator for the Leamington-based effort. He noted over 600 volunteers manned four-hour canning shifts as part of the project. Leamington got involved in this project 16 years ago, he said, because there

Optimist dance in jeopardy due to bad behavior by Jennifer Cranston Volunteers are hoping to put an end to some bad behavior at Optimist youth dances. If they canÕ t, they may have to consider canceling the events. For over a decade the Essex Optimist Club has been hosting dances for pre-teens on the second
Tuesday of each month of the school year. These dances are much-anticipated events with around 300 youth from grades five to eight in attendance per dance. Organizers say that most of the children are very well behaved and are just there to have a
good time and socialize. The behavior of a few, however, can be described as disrespectful, rude and inappropriate. Ò The absolute disrespect for the people running the dances has to stop,Ó said Youth Activities Director Gary Camlis.
The dances are currently being held in the Shaheen Room at the Essex Centre Sports Complex. Because the participants are so young, they are kept in the dance, under supervision until it is over. Organizers want the community to know that
they will exercise every option to end the behavior issues before they consider canceling the dances. One of those options includes making children contact their parents to pick them up. At this time volunteers would explain to parents what type of behavior their child was
engaging in and ask that the parent speak to their child. If the behavior continues the child will not be allowed into future dances. Ò Progressive discipline will be used, starting with a phone call to parents,Ó said Camlis. Ò The second time they will be gone for good.Ó Another step the Optimists are taking is raising the age to attend. Beginning next September the dances will only be open to grades six, seven and eight. More volunteers would also make a big difference. Currently each dance has between 1215 Optimist volunteers. Anyone over the age of 18 can volunteer to help out with the dances, and active volunteering will get you a membership in the Optimist Club. Many of the volunteers work with children as part of their day job. Some are bus drivers, work for the Essex Youth Centre etc. They know how important these dances are to area youth and donÕ t want to have to cancel them because of a few poorly behaved kids. Ò I run the Youth Centre and I know there is nothing for kids to do in PASS TIME LINE. this town,Ó saidINOptimist member Sandy Larivee. Ò As a community we cannot afford to lose this event.Ó The Essex Optimists will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and the dances have become a signature programs. If they are cancelled it is estimated that about $12 -$15 thousand will be 16 CENTRE ST., ESSEX lost for other community projects.

Cancer Foundation recognizes Music Fest
The McGregor Music Festival Committee receives an appreciation plaque from the Windsor Essex County Cancer Center Foundation Communications Coordinator Kerri Hill on Monday.
by Sylene Argent While the McGregor Music Festival committee held a regular meeting at the Essex County Steam and Gas Engine Museum on Monday, April 21, the committee members were happy to accept an appreciation plaque from the Windsor-Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation for their commitment in helping to raise funds for the Ò In Your JeansÓ fundraising campaign for menÕ s health.
The McGregor Music Festival forwarded proceeds from its 2013 event to help the Ò In Your JeansÓ campaign. Ò They do a lot of good work,Ó WECCCF Communications Coordinator Kerri Hill said of the Music Fest committee and volunteers. Hill noted her organization appreciates the many community partnerships it has established since the inception of the campaign that will bring a menÕ s health center to Windsor Regional Hospital. This center will be equipped with the da Vinci Surgical Robot that will, at first, be used for prostate cancer surgery. This technology, Hill said, will reduce wait times and recovery time after surgery. Surgery with this robot will result in less pain and less blood loss, she said. The da Vinci Surgical Robot allows doctors to complete a surgery using the robot that uses four pencil-sized incisions. With the surgical robot and the menÕ s health center, wait times will be reduced and the process of suspicion of a health issue to treatment will be quicker, Hill commented. A menÕ s health facility and more lab equipment will not just reduce wait times. They will also eliminate, for many, the need to travel to Hamilton or the U.S. for prostate cancer treatment. On April 11, the Ò In Your JeansÓ campaign wrapped up, having raised $5.4 million. This exceeded the original goal of $4 million. Recently the
WECCCF hosted an event where many of the community partners who have contributed major donations to this campaign were recognized. At that event, Hill said, the name of the new MenÕ s Health facility was announced. It will be named after urologist Dr. Richard Boyd, a former doctor at Windsor Regional Hospital who passed away in 2008. Hill noted that on average one in seven men would be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer, she said, can often be cured if it is caught early enough and the right treatment is administered in time. It has been noticed, she added, that more men in their 40Õ s are in need of prostate cancer treatment. The McGregor Music Festival committee is
well into planning for this yearÕ s event that will take place on Sunday, June 8 at Co-An Park in McGregor. The festival will begin at noon and the tunes will flow throughout the afternoon and evening until 10 p.m. Organizers are excited to host the 25th annual event and there are plans to offer celebratory t-shirts for sale during the fest. The McGregor Music Festival will have a big line up of local bands, the annual pig auction and a car show for vehicle enthusiasts. Organizers are encouraging everyone to mark this date in their calendars to continue the fight against cancer. For more info on the menÕ s health center, log onto www.inyourjeans.ca.

in need. Forwarding cans to those in need help provide hope to those who receive them, he said. Ò The volunteers labour by hand over that can. It provides more than food,Ó he said. Some of the volunteers last week were high school students who took
the opportunity to not only give back but also earned a few community service hours required to graduate high school. For more information about the MCC meat canning project, log onto canning.mcc.org.

- Hyacinths in the snow -
There they are, giving a cheery appearance among the snow. Both blue and pink hyacinths spread open their florets among the white stuff and it does make a pretty scene, more than when they usually bloom above the bare ground. But who wants that? You bet, none of us do, but we werenÕ t consulted about it. In my memory it is years and years ago when we had snowfall in April. Probably it was 50-years ago and it was a heavy blanket but at least ten days earlier in the month. I wonder why I am writing about that because I am certain none of my readers want to discuss the disgusting circumstance! Nor do I expect anyone wants to read about my worry about the rose bushes. I looked closely at creeping charley and I see it is doing very well. Unfortunately I donÕ t
think the birds have done as well. I have seen a pair of goldfinches and two cardinals plus the usual bluejays and doves. It is the little finches that are scarce. I really didnÕ t expect to see that any survived those weeks when their little bodies must have come close to freezing. It was hard to feed them because the seeds would freeze and there would be so much snow on top of them that
the birds did not do well at digging through it to get food. As for the squirrels; they are as much a nuisance as ever. Their antics at hanging on to the feeders are either amusing or annoying, depending on my attitude. I donÕ t have to tell you it is usually annoyance.

Essex Public School News submitted to EFP The student council at Essex Public School held an Easter themed raffle to earn funds to help send a student to school in Maforeka in Africa. The prizes included two huge baskets full of goodies, a tasty bunny cake and a giant balloon egg with treats inside. Our foster student is able to attend school through the funds that we gather here at EPS. Student council was hoping to raise $250 which is enough to send Jacob to school for one year. Everyone was delighted when the donations were counted and enough was earned for three years of schooling. Thanks to everyone who donated Pictured top left: Grade 5 students dress in costumes to depict ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt.

prizes and money. EPS makes a difference globally. Grade five students have been studying ancient civilizations. They explored ancient Rome, Egypt, and Greece, completing projects about the clothing, beliefs, building structures, and sports that existed in those societies. They also looked for similarities and differences these were compared to our society today. After all this hard work the grade five classes celebrated with a feast. Many students dressed up in costumes. It was a great day!

Easter egg extravaganza in Essex
(Above) Three-year old Camryn gathers chocolate filled eggs as fast as he can at the annual Essex Gospel Easter Egg Hunt. (Right) Paisley and Lacey Robinson wait with their dad Chad for the annual Egg Hunt to begin.
by Jennifer Cranston Hundreds of kids scrambled across the field at Essex Public School on Saturday scooping
up Easter eggs in the 12th annual Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by Essex Gospel Church. ChildrenÕ s Pastor Shaun Slauenwhite explained that last year about 2,000 people, including 780 children, came out for the community tradition and this yearÕ s numbers were higher with over 800 children attending. Following the egg hunt Slauenwhite gave out donated door prizes including two bikes, gift cards and more. There was also a barbeque where kids ate for free and teens and grown-ups could enjoy a meal for $2. All of this is made a little easier with the help of local businesses and individual sponsors. This is a huge endeavor that takes the hard work and dedication of about 80 volunteers. Slauenwhite says the members of the church enjoy the event each year.

Tilbury-owned 1940 Dodge still just like new!
Mark Tourangeau’s 1940 Dodge sedan at the ‘Old Autos” car show in Bothwell, Ontario, August 2013
Mark Tourangeau was born in 1957 in Chatham and grew up in nearby Tilbury, Ontario. Today he drives a car that anyone would be proud to own: a 1940 Dodge 4-door sedan that looks just as good as the day it rolled off the assembly line 74 years ago. Mark purchased the car in 2007 from the previous owner in Tilbury. It was a local car and is an American model, built in Detroit (Canadian-built Dodges at that time were basically Plymouths with Dodge trim). It was in very good condition with only 62,000 miles on the odometer. The rear doors are “suicide doors” (hinged at the rear) and rear seat passengers are supplied with assist straps in getting out, along with a rope cord across the back of the front seat. It came with a fancy grille guard, and Mark later added turn signals for safety reasons. The car has a “Safety Speedometer” that changes colour from green to amber to red the faster you drive, and this feature was installed right at the factory. Mark has re-done the brakes and had some brightwork re-chromed. The car has external running boards, which disappeared soon after when car bodies became wider. It has a twopiece side-opening hood and is powered by a flathead inline six with 218 cubic inches cranking out 87 horsepower, still enough to get a speeding ticket. The transmission is a three-speed column-shift (“three on the tree” we used to say). The sealed beam headlights were new for 1940 and adopted industry-wide. The wide whitewalls are radials supplied by Coker, a U.S. tire company. As a forerunner to air conditioning, the car has a cowl vent which can be opened by pushing down on a lever below the dashboard. Vent windows also help to cool off the car on warm days. When Mark parks the car at a car show, he tries to find a spot under some trees. He puts about 2500 miles on the car each year and regularly displays it at Heritage Village on the Arner Town Line south of Windsor. For added enjoyment while driving, Mark has added an after-market radio. The car also has a heater but is seldom used on a car like this, which is only driven in nice weather. By sending his serial number to the Chrysler Corporation, Mark was told his car was shipped from the factory on March 26, 1940. As a point of interest, Walter P. Chrysler died in August 1940. He was still alive when his company built MarkÕ s Dodge. IÕ m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

April pools aids in drowning prevention... Continued from Page 13
open their pools and take their boats out on open water. Stations set up inside the lobby at the Essex Recreation Complex delivered those water safety messages, which included raising boat safety awareness, to always swim with a buddy and to stay within armÕ s reach, and the importance of wearing properly fitted life jackets while boating. Swimming with a buddy, for example, Deck Supervisor George Turnbull said, is an important habit youth should adopt, as no one should be in the water alone. This event, held in partnership with the Lifesaving Society, also promoted the new Ò On GuardÓ program. Families were able to purchase a laminate displaying the words Ò On Guard.Ó It was encouraged families buy these laminates for back yard pool parties to be hosted throughout the summer. These laminates, Turnbull noted, will help keep swimmers safe this swimming season. Sometimes, at pool parties, the more people in the water, the less likely there is someone watching to ensure everyone is safe. Each person at a pool party can take turns wearing the laminate and that person is then responsible to keep an eye out for safety. The proceeds of the sale of the laminates help support the lifesaving Society. During the event, area families were welcome to participate in a free swim and watch demonstrations of rescue activities in the afternoon. Those interested were also given an opportunity to earn a certification in CPR Level C. Individuals who may need CPR may need it administered outside of places like the Essex Recreation Complex where staff is knowledgeable about
this subject, so to have as many area residents get certified as possible is important. Ò The more people trained to respond, the better the chance of survival,Ó Turnbull said, adding CPR is an important lifesaving skill. The staff at the Essex Recreation Complex and Aquatics Centre hosted the event on a Saturday afternoon as there is a lot of traffic of swimmers coming into the facility to take lessons and enjoy the free family swim.
Members of Essex Fire & Rescue were also on site at the Essex Recreation Complex on Saturday. A fire truck parked outside the facility helped bring attention to event and firefighters helped reiterate the importance of water and fire safety around home. Sparky was also on hand to greet his young friends. A BBQ lunch, coin drive and bake sale were offered with proceeds supporting the campaign.

73’s down two games in final to Lakefield
Essex 73’s Matthew Hebert, left; and Tyler Scott prepare to board the bus for Lakefield.
by Fred Groves If the Essex 73Õ s want to reclaim the Schmalz Cup, they are going to have to find a way to win on the road. A pair of losses in Lakefield on the weekend
has the 73’s down twogames-to-none in the bestof-seven Ontario Hockey Association Junior Ô CÕ championship series. Game Three goes Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Essex Sports
Complex and the two teams go at it again the following afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Determined to win their first Cup since 2000, the Chiefs opened up Saturday night with a

lopsided 5-0 win. Four of those goals, including a penalty shot, coming in the middle frame. This series is shaping up to be a physical one, similar to the quarterfinals against the Dorchester Dolphins. In Saturday’s game in Lakefield, the Chiefs took out Essex captain Corey Beaulieu who did not play Sunday and is questionable for the rest of the series. Eliminating Beaulieu was a move by the Chiefs that Essex coach Gil Langlois was quoted in the Peterbourgh Examiner as “bush league.” Following Thursday nightÕ s practice in Essex, Langlois said that his team, which was off for 11 days, was preparing to face the Chiefs in the much smaller Lakefield arena. “We’ve had practices where our drills, strategy and conversation is adjusting to a smaller rink,” he said. Saturday’s game saw Essex slapped with 64
minutes in penalties and the Chiefs had 54. Several players were ejected in the second period. Neither side could click on the powerplay. Ò We can play the bump-and-grind or we can play a finesse game. We can adapt to whatever they are going to throw at us,” said Langlois. On Sunday, Essex’s Phil Janikowski scored on the powerplay but it was the Chiefs on top 5-1. The visitors had 40 minutes in penalties and Lakefield went to the box for 48 minutes. At Thursday night’s practice in Essex, veteran forward Matthew Hebert noted that the 73’s have to play better in the opposition’s rink. The 73’s are now 1-6 on the road. “I think we need to get out of our comfort zone. We have to give that extra effort and take those games from them,” he said. A year ago Hebert and the 73’s lost in the finals
to Picton and before that, they were knocked out in the semis to Grimsby in a series in which Hebert did not see much ice-time due to injuries. “This year I realized that being nervous isn’t going to help. We have to go out and have fun. It’s how we are going to win.” Langlois countered by saying its always more fun when you win and added that Essex has a veteran team and for many, this is their last shot at junior hockey. Ò I think our focus is different this year. There are a lot of guys who have a lot on the line. They know this is their last junior series.” SLAPSHOTSÉ Essex defenceman Dan Mainella did not play in SundayÕ s game and minor call-up Dalton Langlois took his spotÉ The Chiefs come into Essex with a 3-3 road record in this yearÕ s Cup playoffsÉ Aaron Thibert is back in the Essex lineup.
