Essex Mayor Ron McDermott joined volunteers Rita Rocheleau and Ruth Matthew to deliver meals through the Mayors for Meals program last Wednesday.

by Sylene Argent “These people are like angels,” Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said of the Meals on Wheel volunteers last Wednesday afternoon during the local leg of the Mayors for Meals campaign. This annual program is designed to promote the issue of hunger amongst seniors and the Meals on Wheels service. Every year the Community Support Centre of Essex County, based in Lakeshore, invites local dignitaries to participate in the North American-wide Mayors for Meals campaign.

Mayor McDermott met volunteers Rita Rocheleau and Ruth Matthew at the Essex Retirees’ Social Club. They work together to deliver meals to the Meals on Wheels clients in the Essex area. Rachel Noel, Programs Coordinator, said the meals are created at St. Simon & St. Jude Parish hall. Volunteers then deliver them to a transfer location in Essex, the Essex Retirees’ Social Club. Another set of volunteers then takes the meals to the clients who need them. The Community Support Centre Meals on Wheels program

provides meals to clients in Tecumseh, Lakeshore, Essex, and the Cottam areas. It takes 192 volunteers deliver the food to those in need, and the program has around 160 registered clients. Getting the local Mayors involved in the event is an opportunity for them to get handson experience with the service and to meet some of the volunteers and clients the program supports. Mayor McDermott has participated in this campaign for the past few years. He always enjoys getting involved in the program. “It’s great. I get to see a

lot of people I don’t normally get to see,” he said of participating. The Mayor said that, in some cases, the Meals on Wheels volunteers might be the only people the clients get to see on the day of the meal delivery. “Who knows how many people they get to see in a week? It’s a breath of fresh air for them to have someone to say ‘hi’ to. We all need that,” he said. Rocheleau and Matthew agreed it is a pleasure to be volunteers with the Meals on Wheels program. They enjoy delivering the meals to the program clients and meeting with them. In Essex, hot meals are delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For those who are unable to prepare food for themselves the program can also offer frozen meals. The meals cost $5.50 and consist of a homemade soup, a meat, a starch item, two vegetables, and dessert. There is a summer and winter menu. Meals for diabetics are also available. There really is no age restriction to the program, Noel said. Sometimes clients use the service in the short term after recovering from surgery. Noel was appreciative to Mayor McDermott, Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara, and Lakeshore Mayor Tom Bain for participating in the program. The campaign originally began in the US and then took off in Ontario in 2009. “Volunteers, in any capacity, are what create a community,” McDermott said.

Finance Committee discusses community and tourism grants by Sylene Argent On Wednesday, March 11, members of Essex Finance Committee held their annual meeting where they discussed grant requests submitted to the Town for the Essex Tourism Development Fund and the Essex Community Partnership Fund. The meeting was held inside the large conference room at the Essex Municipal Building. Members of the Finance Committee, which includes Mayor Ron McDermott, Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche, and Councillors Bill Caixeiro and Stephen Bjorkman, discussed the requests and heard two presentations, from the Essex Youth Centre and the Essex Sports Wall of

Annual

Excellence. Both of these delegations were seeking funding through the Essex Community Partnership Fund. Each year, the Finance Committee considers grant requests submitted to the Town under the Essex Community Partnership Fund. Essex’s Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter noted the proposed budget for 2015 is $94,880. There were many requests for municipal grants made under this funding forum. Co-An Park requested $15,000 and Heritage Essex requested $25,000. These two requests were made under the committed donations category, and are given every year. Under annual

donations, Essex Community Services requested $20,000 as a waiver of fees for rental of municipal facilities. The Essex Retirees’ Social Club requested $8,858, and ACCESS made an application for $8,192. The Committee granted these requests. The Harrow Early Immigrant Research Society made a request for $2500 for a summer student and help with its facility rental. The Committee decided on funding just the student for $1,500. The Harrow Electric Eels Aquatic Team (HEEAT) had made a request for insurance coverage. Originally it was placed in this budget for $1600, but Hunter noted the likely cost of this would be around $600, which the Committee agreed to. The Kingsville-Essex Associated Band also made a request for $10,000. It was noted the band is practicing more in the Essex area. The group does at least five parades in Essex every year, for which they do not charge. The Committee moved to give the band $5,000 and up to $2500 in waiver of fees to be negotiated with the group. Essex Youth Centre Executive Director Sandy Larivee approached the Finance Committee about its requested for $28,000, She said the Centre is really struggling. The EYC hosts a few fundraisers throughout the year. Larivee explained a lot has changed in the EYC over the past year as Essex District High School undergoes its rebuild project. As a result of the construction more youth are using the EYC, particularly as a place to eat. The EYC is feeding anywhere from 50-60 youth a day either through its free breakfast program, which offers fresh fruit and veggies, as well as cereal, or soup in the afternoon, which has a nominal cost. “We are feeding kids

who are hungry,” Larivee said. “We never turn away a kid.” The EYC has been a busy place. the previous Tuesday, she said, staff closed its doors at 9 p.m. There were 30 students utilizing the facilities at that time. There have been some serious issues, such as homelessness, that the EYC has taken on over the past year. It also has attracted some university students, who formerly utilized this service, back to the center who want to help out. Also, through various grant programs, the Centre has been able to find local youth summer employment. The Essex based organization, she added, is the longest standing youth center in Canada. McDermott said he likes to here the youth are utilizing the center at night when it is available as they are not on the streets. That way it is also available to all area students and not just those who attend EDHS. On Tuesday evenings, the youth center is open until 9 p.m. During

OPINION & COMMENT The opinions expressed on these pages are those of their original authors and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Essex Free Press, its Editor or Publisher.

We don’t have any ancient buildings in Essex Centre, or most of North America for that matter, but we do have buildings that remind us of our history and are considered old, for us. When most people think of historic buildings in Essex Centre they think of the Essex Railway Station and the Carnegie Library. There are other historic buildings as well - the United Church, the Burstyn building, and many of those red brick buildings on main street. We also have many older houses. When I was a child, growing up in Essex Centre, many of those buildings were allowed to shine. They weren’t covered up with modern improvements or signage. That red brick was there on the front for all to see. Some of the buildings from my youth were torn down and replaced – a most recent example being Essex District High School. Others

were lost to fire, the 1980 explosion, or simply deteriorated to the point where they were no longer safe. A lot of the past was removed or covered up. I think there’s a charm there that we can capitalize on. There’s still enough of our past that can be preserved. The improvements that were made to the Golden Girls building, owned by Essex Councillor Steve Bjorkman and his wife Mary-Anne, is a great example of that. That building looks fantastic. It’s a nice centerpiece in our downtown corridor. With the new CIP funding available, I hope other building owners will be encouraged to expose those historic storefronts. There’s a lot said about reducereuse-and recycle. It’s something that our community and town hall has embraced. We can apply some of that to our historic buildings. A lot of the “newer” buildings

have been kept up and look sharp – something we might not notice because we pass by those businesses every day. But really take a good look the next time you are out and notice the buildings. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by some of them. And then imagine when the streetscape plan starts to kick in. With those improvements, we’ll see that we aren’t in as grim a position as we might imagine. And make no mistake - it’s good to strive to improve, as complacency just breeds neglect. If there’s one thing we can work on it is continuity in design. Once a plan is in place, we need to stick to it and see it through to the end, and not switch direction and shift gears half way down the road (in this case, main street).

Voice of Experience... by Evelyn Couch They will never forget An article in the recent issue of Canada’s History magazine reports the 70-year anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by the First Canadian Corps in 1945. It reminds us of the vital role Canadians played in winning the war against Nazi domination. Nelle Oosterom writes that after five years under control by the Nazi forces there was unrestrained joy that is felt now, 70 years later. I remember the time but was not really aware of the horrors until I read this article although several of the people who now live in Essex told me a great deal about it during an earlier anniversary at the time the local community gave us that mural that is on the Legion wall. Oosterom starts her article with reports of the thousands of tulips that will bloom in Ottawa this May as a reminder of Canada’s role in helping the Netherlands during World War II. Essex was given 100 tulip bulbs along with most towns in the thank you ceremony, but we lost ours after the first year because the dead tulip plants were torn out and discarded. As she writes of the atrocities she states men were sent to work in German factories and most never returned. To avoid the fate of the Jewish people about 200 committed

suicide. By the end of the war two thirds of the Jewish population had perished, most of them in the German death camps Oosterom reports that her parents were young adults during the occupation, and they, like many of the Dutch people, moved to Canada. Our former Essex mayor, Gerry Schinkel told me of sitting on a curb watching the Canadian troops come and he said he could not have imagined that someday he would be the mayor of a Canadian town. I knew Princess Juliana and her two young children took refuge in Ottawa. Although I knew it at the time I had forgotten that Nazi soldiers went to the palace in the Hague with the intention of capturing Queen Wilhelmina, but the royal family had already escaped by crossing the English channel in British warships. I think it is worth our time to learn from this author of the terrible hardships the Dutch people faced because it lets us understand why our troops were the main liberators and what it means in Canadian history. So I will tell you more in following columns of the situation in the Netherlands and why the Dutch people continue to make their children aware of the gratitude to our country.

Finance Committee discussion... other weekdays, it is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Staff will stay if there is a youth in need. The EYC also sometimes hosts special events over the weekend. Many of the Finance Committee members thought it would be a great idea if the EYC stayed opened more in the evening. Larivee noted the EYC serves all youth who need a safe place to be, not just disadvantaged youth. She said, looking ahead, she plans to retire or pull back to parttime. In 2007, provincial funding models changed and there was less funding for youth centers. At that time the Harrow and Essex Youth Centers came to Essex to help bridge that gap in funding. The Harrow Youth Centre is now run by ACCESS. Council has allotted funds to these two organizations since, but is reducing the funding by 20 percent per annum. Last year, the Harrow and Essex youth centers were given $10,240 each. With that reduction, it was slated both services would receive $8,192, which is what ACCESS requested. After discussions on what to do with the Essex Youth Center, the Finance Committee decided to forward the $8,192 to both youth services, regardless of the EYC’s larger request. It will however revisit funding allocated to the EYC if it changes its scheduling to accommodate youth in the evening. Caixeiro suggested Council members drop in unannounced for research to ensure the Committee is doing the right thing. In the Ad Hoc donation category under the Essex Community Partnership Fund, The Essex Sports Wall of Excellence requested $5,000 worth of funding to build a wall of fame on the second level viewing area of the Essex Centre Sports Complex to acknowledge Essex athletes, sports founders, and organization builders who have made an impact. This, the committee noted during its presentation, will be a onetime funding request to

get the project started and to obtain signage. Getting the program started will generate interest in the community to keep it going. Under this section, there was also $1,000 added for miscellaneous disaster relief, which Hunter said is placed in every year and can be used to support a community in need during the year. The Committee agreed with these requests. The Essex Tourism Development Fund, Hunter noted, has a $25,000 budget. Several organizations submitted applications in hopes of receiving municipal funding for their events. Through the annual donations portion of this program, Explore the Shore requested $5,000 and The Colchester Guardian requested $1,457 for its vessel orientates search and rescue service. The Finance Committee motioned to enter into a four-year partnership with the Colchester Guardian for funding. Explore the Shore, a tourism event that invites regional residents to visit businesses along County Road 50, has received $5,000 in grant money per year since 2011. Mayor McDermott said originally the Committee for this festival came to Council for seed money to get this event on its feet. He said he realizes how important tourism is but wanted to cut the funding in half. He put this motion forward, and the committee carried it. Hunter added that it was noted in the past that this funding would start to be reduced. Committee members did discuss various ways to tackle this issue. Caixeiro said he would like to see some of that money go towards helping other events get started. In the past, this municipal funding was used for signage and advertising. Under the AD Hoc Donation category, The Essex Region Conservation Authority requested $250 to

help with costs associated to hosting its Children’s Water Festival, which is typically held at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village. The Committee concurred. Essex Council will look at the Committee’s recommendations and consider them at the April 7 Essex Council meeting.

Clinic shares information about Tinnitus afternoon. Around 20 people participated in the seminar. Tinnitus, McKenzie and Pierozynski explained, is a symptom and not a disease. Tinnitus is ringing, buzzing, or humming in the ears. It can sound different to each person. They shared a brief video explainging how Tinnitus can sound different to different people from around the world. If you have Tinnitus, typically others can’t hear it. But there have been cases where someone in close proximity to an individual Doctors of audiology, Paige Pierozynski (seated) and Bernice McKenzie, hosted a free Tinnitus workshop at The Hearing & Dizziness Clinic on Monday afternoon.

with Tinnitus could hear his or her ringing. The sound can be in one or both ears, or in the head. Research is trying to pinpoint the exact location of Tinnitus. The ringing, buzzing, or humming can be going on all the time, McKenzie explained, or it can be intermittent. It affects around 10-15 percent of people across the world. Up to 85 percent of people with Tinnitus have experienced hearing loss. McKenzie said common complaints of people who have Tinnitus is that they are unable to

sleep, that the ringing is always happening and that it is driving them crazy, that they are having trouble concentrating, and that they are afraid as they aren’t sure why they are hearing the ringing. Tinnitus can just suddenly happen, or it can manifest slowly over time. It is typically more prevalent in males. McKenzie explained 12 percent of the population have Tinnitus, but are not bothered by it. Less than five percent consider this symptom to be a problem. Less than one percent find it to be

debilitating. McKenzie said that Tinnitus is measured to be between 2 and 20 decibels. “It’s the same intensity for all three groups, but what is different is how annoyed those people are by their Tinnitus,” she said. Research has shown there are several causes that can bring on Tinnitus, including exposure to loud noise, an injury to the head or neck, various diseases, too much earwax, stress, and some medications. Pierozynski added that in many cases

IODE members host 50th annual and final antique show

Members of the Windsor-based group Association of Representational Artists were happy to participate in the 50th, and final, IODE Antique and Art Show and Sale over the weekend.

by Sylene Argent Members of the Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of the IODE were happy to invite the region to attend the 50th annual Antique and Art Show and Sale held at the Leamington Kinsmen

Recreation Complex over the weekend. It was a bittersweet celebration for the members as they celebrated the event’s longevity, but also the final show. The Sir Winston

Churchill Chapter of the IODE received the show from the former senior Balmoral Chapter 12 years ago, and at that time the Sir Winston Churchill group promised to keep the annual Antique and Art Show and Sale going until it reached its golden anniversary. This promise was made, as the show had become a longstanding event that community members continued to attend in search of unique treasures, explained show co-convener and IODE member, Carolyn Jackson. The annual show has always been a success, and this year’s show was no exception. Jackson said she was thrilled with the traffic of numerous patrons visiting

the many vendor tables, which offered an array of items for sale; including books, hand crafted collectables, jewelry, and antiques. The event also offered a Tea Room where patrons could purchase homemade desserts the group members prepared. It provided a space for people to socialize and even to talk about their finds or potential purchases. “It’s been a wonderful show. It’s been successful and has allowed us to do many things [in the community,”] Jackson said. “We have received a lot of comments about how people are sad with this show being the last. “We are so grateful to the community for supporting us all these years. We appreciate their patronage.” The event proceeds have allowed the Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of the IODE to install a playground system at Seacliff Park, support Leamington District Memorial Hospital, and to furnish a family trauma room in the hospital’s ER. The group now hopes to work with the Leamington Hospice. A raffle available over the weekend allowed the club to raise money for its education projects that provide scholarships to students from Leamington District High School and Cardinal Carter. The Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of the IODE plans to continue fundraising to support the community in different ways in the future, and its membership is currently brainstorming on new ways to raise those funds. Last year, The Antique and Art Show and Sale added art to the event, and

this year that continued. Jackson was happy to welcome many local artists to the event, including those from the Windsorbased group Association of Representational Artists. This art group was founded in 1978 and accommodates artists at all skill levels, from amateur to professional. The group members use all kinds of mediums to create their art pieces, but the members always create representational pieces. Though the group is based out of Windsor, it has members from all around the county, including Kingsville, Harrow, and Wheatley. Anyone wishing to give this art form a try is urged to log onto the club’s website www.arawindsor. com. The group meets every third Tuesday of the month-excluding July,

August, and December at the Caboto Club. Here, the group members are treated to special guest speakers, demonstrations, workshops, and show and tell sessions. The group also showcases and in some cases sells its art pieces at a few shows throughout the year. Members of the Association of Representational Artists were thrilled to have their work on display at the IODE Antique and Art Show and Sale, where they made many connections with other artists and art lovers, and had an opportunity to network. They hope that the Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of the IODE will host an art show to benefit area artists in the future.

Clinic shares information about Tinnitus... the cause is not known. Pierozynski explained that the ear has hair cells, which are responsible for transmitting a signal to the brain. Hair cells that are damaged from a loud sound will ruffle, kind of like a pipe cleaner, she said. Then the hair cells can’t send a signal to the brain, so the brain turns up the electrical activity to compensate for the missing hair cells, and sometimes that can lead to ringing in the ears. And then there is a stress response, and then there is awareness of the sound. The goal is to label the noise as non-threatening. There is a lot of research being done on Tinnitus, but there is no known cure, Pierozynski said. But there is help. The goal is to change and manage the reaction to the Tinnitus to make it less of a problem. “There is a big difference between no cure and no help,” she said. When Pierozynski and McKenzie see a patient about his or her Tinnitus, they want to understand what happened to cause it and when it started. They check for wax to see if that could be the cause. They will conduct a hearing test. They will then try to pinpoint how loud the sound is and what pitch the patient is hearing. They will

also look to see if other sounds can be used to help mitigate the ringing. Pierozynski and McKenzie find if they educate their patients about Tinnitus, the patients often feel better about it and have fewer emotional reactions. When it’s quiet,

Tinnitus can be like focusing on a candle in a dark room. Adding pleasant noise to a room can bring attention away from the ringing. An audiologist should be consulted to determine methods that can be used. The aim of using sound therapy as a way

to treat Tinnitus is a way to get the brain to act differently and acknowledge Tinnitus as an unimportant sound. There are a lot of different sounds that can be used and each person will have a preference. Sound generators can produce pleasant noise in a quiet

room that can help with Tinnitus. Hearing loss needs to be treated before Tinnitus. “The goal is to turn an annoying sound into a sound that you can tolerate, and eventually you will be able to ignore,” McKenzie said. People dealing with

Tinnitus should avoid stress, caffeine, and nicotine. Pierozynski advised that unless there is exposure to loud noise, not to use earplugs as they can cause someone to become hypersensitive to sound.

Fraud Protection - If it seems too good to be true, it probably is by Jennifer Cranston In honour of Fraud Prevention Month, The Essex Free Press is running some informative articles to help readers avoid being scammed, conned or duped. This week we are looking at romance and lottery scams. Romance or dating fraud is one of the most financially and emotionally devastating cons victimizing vulnerable people today. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), in 2014 there were 1,467 complaints from Canada of romance fraud. Of those complaints, 998 victims were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $13.9 million. It is estimated that less than five percent of romance fraud is reported. Romance scams cause victims severe financial hardship and personal embarrassment, which inhibits their decision to report the crime. The criminals seek potential victims online, generally

single or recently unattached people. Usually this form of mass marketing fraud occurs through singles and dating-related ‘meet’ websites, social media platforms, or e-mail blasts. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the ‘relationship’ ends, usually without ever meeting in person. “If people have had their heart broken or have their hearts set on a relationship, they are so open that they give too much information. These (criminals) can latch onto that and start building a case to swindle them,” said OPP Det. Const. Ted Schendera of the Anti-Racketeering Branch of the OPP. Schendera said that he has seen cases where the fraudster works on the victim for months and he has seen situations where victims are asked for money within the first few conversations. “Educating yourself is the crucial thing,” he said. There are a few simple tips that can help people avoid being taken advantage of. Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when you are chatting online. Educate yourself. Check the person’s name, the company name, and the addresses used. Ask yourself – ‘Would someone I have never met really declare their love for me after only a few letters or emails?’ If the answer is no, report it to police. Never send money, or give personal credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust. A request to send money to a foreign country to someone you have never personally met should be a red flag. Check website addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake websites with addresses that are very similar to legitimate dating websites. One of the most successful scams today is the false lottery or sweepstakes win. Lottery scams and other prize fraud schemes now rank

second highest in terms of the number of mass marketing fraud complaints, and fourth in terms of dollar losses reported by victims, according to the Ontario Provincial Police. Many people find themselves becoming scam victims, thanks to the excitement of a surprise win from fake lotteries, sweepstakes or contests. In 2014, the CAFC received 4,400 Canadian complaints of prize or lottery fraud. Of those, 652 people were victimized to the tune of more than $4.3-million. As with all fraud, police believe only about five percent of victims report the crime. Phone calls, an email, text messages and pop-up messages on your computer or laptop may make claims that the offer is legal and that there are relatively minor costs to claim the ‘big’ prize. By responding, you may lose everything you send to a scammer and – if you have provided other personal details – your identity information could be stolen to support other crimes. “It is unethical to ask for a fee from a prize winner to claim the prize,” said Schendera. “No ethical company will ask you to pay a fee or a delivery charge to collect a prize.” He also points out that you are unlikely to win a lottery or sweepstakes you didn’t enter. He explained that if you receive a call from a lottery you have never heard of, chances are they bought your name from some other list. Some things to keep in mind when dealing with special offers and prize winnings are to never send money to anybody you don’t know and trust. Don’t provide personal banking details to anyone that you do not know and trust. Examine all of the terms and conditions of any offer very carefully. Claims of free or very cheap offers often have hidden costs. Calls to premium rate phone numbers or premium text messages can be very expensive. Ask yourself, “Did I willingly enter this contest?” There is a lot of information online about scams and frauds. A good place to start is OPP.ca or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, http://www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca/. If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embarrassed – you are not alone.

News I 11

Essex Free Press

Dog tag prices to rise in April New Smoking by-law in Essex by Sylene Argent Area residents are reminded to register their dogs with the Town of Essex through the purchase of dog tags. On April 1, the rates to register will rise. The dog tag program serves two purposes, Essex’s Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter explained. It raises funds to support animal-related initiatives and also helps to identify dogs that might have wandered from their homes or ended up at the local pound. This helps to make finding the correct owner easier. Until March 31, tags for neutered dogs will be $15, and $25 for any unspayed canine. These fees will double as of April 1. On July 1, the fees will again increase to $45 and $75 respectively. Offering a cheaper dog tag rate for fixed canines is an incentive the municipality offers to help encourage residents to spay or neuter their dogs and help control the pet population. The animal-related initiatives the dog tag funds support, include making the animal control officer, which is currently the Essex County K9 Services, available to enforce the animal related bylaws in Town. The funds also support a program the Town makes available where Essex pays $20 of the $30 surrender fee of any free roaming cat found in Essex to the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society. This program’s cost ranges, but is usually around $4000 per year. This program was initiated to also help control the pet population. The Town also offers spay and neuter voucher programs that are available to low income owners of cats and dogs, and caregivers of free roaming cats. These vouchers have a $75 value. This year, 175 free roaming cat vouchers will be made

available, which will offer 25 more than last year. The Town still receives a lot of inquiries about this program, Hunter said. Essex residents can still apply to obtain a voucher through this program. Dog tag funds also help provide reimbursement to claims sent into the Town where livestock have been lost. New this year, Essex is offering a trap, neuter, and release program. The animal control officer and volunteers will trap cats from known colonies of free roaming cats in Town. They will trap as many cats in those colonies as possible, get those cats fixed, and then release them back into the same area and to their colony, Hunter noted. This too will help control the pet population and will help prevent cats from fighting, making nuisance noises, and spraying. This will continue for as long as the funds are there. There are dollars set aside for this program, which was possible as the money was originally earmarked for the low income spay and neuter voucher program, but was unused. Residents are encouraged to let the Animal Control Officer know about colonies of free-roaming cats. Essex Council approved this program in February. With the spay and neuter voucher program and the trap, neuter, and release program, Hunter said residents should notice a significant change as it pertains to free roaming cats in the future. These programs were initiated as the Town was receiving many complaints about the many free roaming cats within the municipality. Residents are encouraged to get dog tags for their canine companions. Currently, the Town has around 2000 dogs registered.

Do you know a

by Jennifer Cranston The municipality has a “new smoke-free outdoor space” by-law that takes effect on Apr. 1. Essex Director of Corporate Services, Donna Hunter explained that the law was almost a year in the making. The Windsor Essex Health Unit approached all the municipalities in the County asking them to consider such by-laws. It was known that the province was working on a provincial law, but the Health Unit felt the process was moving too slow and wanted restrictions in place sooner rather than later. With the help of public opinion collected through a survey, the town created a by-law that goes a little further than the provincial law that came into effect on January 1. “Now smokers have to deal with provincial laws and municipal laws that vary greatly from town to town,” said Hunter. “Most municipalities, including Essex, have invested in very clear signage to make it easier.” The Ontario law prohibits smoking on playgrounds, sporting fields and spectator areas, as well as a 20-metre perimeter around these areas. “Ours went a little further,” said Hunter.

There is no smoking at any municipal facility except in designated areas. Public facilities like the arenas, the municipal offices, community centres and recreation centres do have designated areas. Roads and sidewalks are still open to smoking. The Essex By-law does not have an extended perimeter like the provincial law. The provincial law does not affect private property that falls within the 20-metre perimeter. You can still smoke on your own property regardless of its proximity to a playground. Being inside a vehicle does not create an exemption. In some situations the inside of a car is considered “private property.” This is not the case with either of the new smoking laws. If

your vehicle is within a prohibited area – you may not smoke in it. The by-law also includes “e-cigarettes,” and any other “equipment used to vaporize any tobacco or non-tobacco substance.” “It’s going to take a while to educate people,” said Hunter. “But most people are already very conscious of where they smoke, so it won’t be a big change for most smokers.” The by-law may be enforced by any municipal By-law Enforcement Officer appointed by Council, any Ontario Provincial Police Officer, or any other person employed by the WindsorEssex County Health Unit who has been appointed to enforce the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. The set fine for violating the by-law is $300.

psychotherapist?

If so, you may be interested to learn that psychotherapists will soon become a regulated profession in Ontario. Anyone using the title psychotherapist (or an abbreviation) or claiming to be qualified to practise as a psychotherapist, must be regulated. Practitioners of psychotherapy will need to join the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), or be registered with another regulatory college whose members can practise psychotherapy.* CRPO’s regulatory authority comes from the Psychotherapy Act passed by the Ontario legislature in 2007. Our mandate will be to regulate psychotherapists in the public interest, striving to ensure competent and ethical practice.

For more information, visit crpo.ca *Other professions whose members can practise psychotherapy are: nurses, occupational therapists, physicians, psychologists and social workers.

Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee still accepting donations

Essex BIA Chair Mary-Anne Bjorkman presents a $5,000 donation to Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee Chair Suzanne Allison on Friday evening.

by Jennifer Cranston Last week the Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee accepted two $5,000 donations to bring their total raised to date to about $38,000 for the Honour Wall that will be dedicated in May. On Tuesday last week, Peter and Audrey Festeryga and Associates of Leamington donated $5,000 in honour of Peter’s Great Uncle James A. Lowden. Lowden served with the RAF 179th squadron, Coastal Command, out of Cornwall, England. Lowden cannot be on the wall because he never lived locally, but he will have a stone in the walkway dedicated to him.

Prior the Spitfire Committee’s last official fundraiser on Friday, an Irish Concert with the House Party Band at the Essex United Church, the Essex BIA presented the group with another $5,000 donation. Committee member Suzanne Allison explained that the wall itself comes with a price tag of $30,000. With installation, lighting and paving, the total cost of the project will be about $50,000. Including the cost of the replica Spitfire this project as a whole amounts to well over $100,000. “This is our gift to the town and to all our vets, not just Air Force vets,” said Allison. The wall will hold about 1,400 names of local WWII veterans of the RCAF and the RAF. While collecting the names, Allison said she was surprised to be able to include over 20 names of women who served. The wall will stand 20 feet wide and five feet tall

Senior ball team ready for season

First baseman Paul Beasley reaches for the ball during indoor workouts for the Jackets.

by Fred Groves A new name, a new attitude and a lot of new arms. The Essex Jackets are in the midst of spring workouts and so far so

good as they prepare for the upcoming Essex County Senior Baseball League. In the third year of a revamping program, the club had taken the team

name ‘YellowJackets’ the past couple of seasons but according to field boss Todd Howson, it was time for a change. “It makes it easier and frankly, we need a name,” said Howson. A year ago the Jackets struggled to put bodies on the diamond, and finished with a 6-16 record. That won’t be the case when they open up in a few weeks as they could start the 2015 campaign with as many as 18 available players. “Guys are excited to come out. The enthusiasm is there. We are excited to get the season going. This is a brand new team,” said Howson. Howson will manage the team while fellow outfielder Andy Jubenville will take over the coaching duties along with James Taylor and Brian Camlis.

Pitching is where the Jackets see the most improvement and Essex will have a lot of depth on the mound as they could have as many as 10 available to work from the hill. “That is the key to success. Last year we were lucky to have two pitchers at a game and now we could have 10,” said Howson. Ryan Moore who dominates on the base path will get a lot of innings as well as Chris Coutinho who joined the team late last season and Jeff Cassagrande who was picked up for the OBA tournament. Several players have come over from the folded LaSalle team and the league is hoping to allow as many as 11 batters go up to the plate with what they are calling an ‘EH’, extra hitter. “They are going to allow one extra hitter (EH), maybe two. It gets more guys involved,” said Howson.

The Jackets will head to Wyoming for a pre-season game and the scheduling meeting for the ECSBL is March 28. Essex will host their games either Wednesday nights or Sunday afternoons.

A car I have never seen before! What is it?

1937 Panhard Dynamic built in France. Owner and location unknown. Ron Edwards of Ancaster, Ontario, recently emailed me the photo you see here. His son Marty works at the Hamilton Spectator and sent it to his dad. Ron then sent it to me under this heading: “Any idea what this is?” It’s a car I had never seen before, and so the guesswork began. The side window design resembles the Cadillac Sixty Special, which came out in 1938. The three windshield wipers remind me of the Triumph 2000 English sports car owned years ago by my friend Dorien Bertoletti. It had three wipers, and each wiper had its own control knob inside the car. And not only that! Each knob rotated back and forth whenever the wipers were on. The fender skirts of the car in the photo suggest a European design, maybe French or Spanish. The slanted grille reminds me of the 1937 Graham (a U.S. car). And the headlight design is wild! And judging by the dust on the car, it’s a recent “barn find.” The two hood latches indicate a 2-piece hood opening from both sides. The length of the hood possibly indicates a straight eight engine. And the secondary windows on either side of the windshield have probably been designed to eliminate the “blind spot” that many cars have. The front-opening front doors were common during the early 1930s but had mostly faded out by 1940. For example, the 1935 Packard One Twenty, launched that year, had suicide doors at the front, replaced by conventional doors a year later. Then another email from Ron: “Hi Bill! I have just solved the mystery. It is a Panhard (French car) of the late 1930s. You can find it on Google. I wish I knew where the photo was taken.” I reached for my copy

of The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Automobiles by David Burgess Wise. This book tells me that Panhard et Levassor began building cars in France in the early 1890s. In 1925, some Panhards had an eight cylinder engine. “A futuristic touch,” writes David Wise, “came with the astonishing Dynamic of 1937: it had three seats at the front with the steering in the centre, backbone chassis and faired-in headlamps and wheels. It was offered in 2.5 litre, 2.7 litre, and 3.8 litre forms.” No picture of this astonishing car appears in the encyclopedia, but we now have this photo, thanks to Ron’s son, Marty, and you can see photos of it on Google. Perhaps the owner will contact us and shed more light on this fascinating car. Stay tuned! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Puempel picks up assist against Leafs by Fred Groves Elevated to the first line, Essex’s Matt Puempel collected his first National Hockey League assist on Saturday night as the Ottawa Senators beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3. It was Puempel’s third point in 13 games since being recalled from the Binghampton Senators. He was questionable for Monday night’s game against the visiting San Jose Sharks as he left Saturday’s game early after he blocked a shot. • It is a big day at the Essex Centre Sports Complex this Saturday as Essex Minor Hockey Association will host its annual Day of Champions. • Essex District High School grad Kelsey Balkwill finished first in the 400m on Saturday as she clocked a 54.76 at

the University of Miami Hurricanes Invitational. It was the first outdoor meet for the Hurricanes and Balkwill also helped the 4x400 relay team to a second place finish. At the recent NCAA Division I Indoor Championships, the relay team finished 10th overall. • From another track, Friday was a huge day for Essex horse harness racing trainer-owner Gordon McDonnell of Essex. His Goldies Mach was first in the third race at Western Raceway with a time of 1:57.2. That was followed up in the fifth with another first as Prakasmakesperfect won and in the fourth Ideal Space was fourth. • Catcher Mitch Hudvagner of Cottam, an EDHS grad, went 2-for-4 at the plate and drove in a run on Saturday as the Madonna Crusaders beat Marygrove 8-5 in college baseball action. He had a

Thursday, March 26, 2015

pair of hits the day before in a 12-0 win. • Justin Orton, a sophomore second baseman with the University of British Columbia men’s baseball team went 2-for-2 and drove in the lone run as the Thunderbirds edged the College of Idaho 1-0 in the first game of a twin bill on Saturday. • Trevor Wheaton made 25 saves last Thursday as the Leamington Junior ‘B’ Flyers beat London in playoff action. The Flyers now face the LaSalle Vipers in the Conference championship. • The Essex Major Atoms came up short 2-0 and 2-1 this past weekend in Uxbridge and now trail their OMHA series. Essex will host the Stars on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. If you have anything for the sports roundup, please contact Fred Groves at FredGrovesgrover54@ hotmail.com

73’s Grab 3-0 Series Lead in Schmalz Cup Quarterfinals

William Stadder looks for the open lane in Essex’s 3-0 win Tuesday.

by Garrett Fodor In week one of the Schmalz cup, the 73’s played three games against the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League (SOJHL) champions, the Exeter Hawks. The Hawks defeated the Dorchester Dolphins, (the team that took Essex to seven games at this same stage last year) in four

straight games to advance to the Schmalz The best of seven series began last Tuesday night, with the locals enjoying home ice advantage throughout the series. In the opening frame, the locals gave the Hawks a quick warm welcoming from their red lights. Just 53 seconds in, Matthew Hebert screened goalie

James Morreau and tipped in the Matthew Rosati point shot. Before the period closed, Daniel McIntyre increased the lead to two when he found a loose rebound. The second period was no better for the Hawks, as three and a half minutes in they were trailing by three. Daniel McIntyre netted his second of the night on a beautiful shot on the powerplay, beating Morreau right below the bar. The 73’s were controlling the puck and the physical play of the game. After two periods of play, the Hawks were unable to solve the puzzle presented to them in Essex goalie Noah Hedrick, and were unable to match Essex’s hard-hitting style of play. The locals outshot the Hawks after two periods, 31-11. In the third period, the score remained unchanged, and Essex opened the series with a dominating performance in their 3-0 win. Noah Hedrick made 17 saves in the shutout performance.

finding the back of the net. Near the end of the period, the locals struck again on the powerplay, giving them their first lead of the game. The third period was no better for the Hawks as Essex went on to score three more goals. Scoring for the locals was William Stadder, Scott Bromley and Dallas Pereira. The Hawks responded with five minutes remaining in the third, but failed any attempted comeback, as the 73’s grabbed a 3-0 series lead with a 5-2 win.

remaining but were unable to mount a comeback. Game three was last Sunday in Essex and it was desperation mode for the Hawks looking to avoid going down 3-0 in the series. For the first time in the series, the 73’s would have to play from behind. After twenty minutes, they were down 1-0. Coming out of the room in the second, the 73’s were quick to respond, tying things up two minutes into the period with Phil Janikowski

The locals struggled to stay out of the box, and gave the visitors several chances to get back into the game. They finished the game with 52 PIMs and gave the Hawks 10 PP opportunities. Game two was three days later on Friday night in Exeter. And just like game one, the 73’s opened the scoring in the first period. With three minutes remaining in the opening frame, Phil Janikowski went high on a wrist shot and made no mistake beating Morreau. The 73’s doubled the lead halfway through the middle frame. Tyler Scott and Matthew Hebert showed their speed on a 2 on 1 and Scott put the puck home. After two periods, Essex had outshot Exeter 22-16. They would pad their lead in the third period, with the same players Matthew Hebert and Tyler Scott coming together for another beautiful passing play and well placed shot. The Hawks would score one goal with five minutes

Atom Minors are OMHA Champions submitted to EFP Over the weekend the Atom Minor Essex Ravens wrapped up their Championship season by defeating the Uxbridge Stars for the OMHA “A” Championship.

Essex took the six point series in three straight games with 5-1 and 4-3 wins at home in Essex and a thrilling come from behind 3-2 overtime victory on the road. This season has been a great success for the Atom Minor Ravens. They have worked extremely hard over the course of the season and that hard work has paid off. “Earlier in the season no one expected us to be

here,” Coach Andy told the boys in the dressing room after what would be their last practice of the season. “Lets prove them wrong.” Essex did just that and this OMHA Championship would be the icing on the cake for the entire team, especially for Adrian H and Coach Andy who both celebrated their birthdays with a championship win. Congratulations goes out to Kohen F, Adrian
