Rock N Rodeo enjoys large turnout
which is synced to music, and has won many awards. Professional cowboys and cowgirls then saddled up to challenge the clock or their opponents in the New Holland Elite Rodeo. Spectators cheered as the daring competitors mounted bucking broncs or bulls in hopes of not only staying on the animals for the full eight seconds, but of earning a top score. The rodeo also offered competitors an opportunity to shine in the barrel race, junior barrel race, junior steer riding, calf roping and wrestling, and breakaway and team roping. Event organizers Gerard and Christine Bernauer were pleased to announce that the Ontario Rodeo Association named the inaugural Rock N Rodeo event as the best of 2012. They hoped this yearÕ s event would be as successful. Christine said she was inundated with positive feedback after the event came to a close. She was pleased so many went out of

Many rodeo professionals took to the arena over the weekend as part of the Rock N Rodeo.
by Sylene Argent Over the weekend, the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village hosted the second Country 95.9/92.7 Rock N Rodeo event that showcased horses and their riders, cattle and an array of farm animals, too. This event was well attended despite the rain threatening to put a damper on spirits on Saturday evening. The event kicked off on Saturday at noon. Visitors were able to shop at merchant booths, learn about different aspects of farming in the demonstration tent, grab a tasty lunch, or visit the farm animals in the petting zoo area. Youth were also able to take
a pony ride. Visitors on Saturday were also able to cheer on local speed show competitors who compete with their trusty steeds in the local club, the Southern Ontario Trail Riders Club (SOTC). These competitors demonstrated their horsesÕ abilities to move at an incredible rate while staying within a tight pattern in classes like the cloverleaf barrel race, pole bending, and the down and back. On Saturday evening, as the sun began to set, the Canadian Cowgirls Precision Drill Team kicked off the rodeo event with its performance. The Chatham based team travels all over North America to perform its routines,

Town to host open house for outdoor smoke free initiative by Sylene Argent On Monday, June 9 Essex Town Council will host a special public open house beginning at 5:30 p.m. inside the Council Chambers at the Essex municipal building regarding the proposed Outdoor Smoke Free bylaw where area residents can weigh in on the issue. For nearly a year, Essex Council has been talking about the possibility of implementing an Outdoor Smoke Free bylaw. Discussion about this first took place at the June 3, 2013 Council meeting, shortly after Lakeshore announced it would implement its own outdoor smoking bylaw that prohibits smoking at municipally owned parks, playgrounds, sports fields, and recreational facilities.
At the June 3, 2013 Essex Council meeting Essex administration submitted a report to Council recommending a bylaw prohibiting smoking on municipally owned or leased properties, including recreational facilities, sports fields, playgrounds, parks and parkettes, trails (excluding roadside trails), the beach at Colchester Harbour and the Marina (excluding private boats) be drafted. At that time, Council moved to postpone the consideration. The Windsor Essex County Health Unit requested Essex consider a bylaw prohibiting smoking at outdoor municipal facilities. At the following Council meeting, Council heard from several delegations

At the September 3 Council meeting of last year, Councillor Bondy requested a public open house be held on the proposed bylaw, which could set up areas designate for smoking at municipal facilities and parks. Councillor Bondy said hosting the public Continued on Page 9

In a yearÕ s time, the old Essex District High School will be gone. In place of the existing structure, which has been on that site since 1922, will be a patch of grass in front of a new facility. The opening of the new school will be a bittersweet moment for EDHS alumni, as many memories were made in the old school. But thatÕ s progress for you; out with old and in with the new. ItÕ s a process that has been ongoing on the site for over 120 years. Captain Albert Jones donated the land on which the high school now sits back in the 1880s. The first school that was built there was a frame building that was opened in September 1885. At that time 11 students attended classes and there were two teachers. Three years later, in 1888, a two-storey red brick building was erected at a cost of around $10,000. The school was meant for 200 students from around the county. They built an addition to that in 1920, but a fire in 1921 wiped the school out. In 1922 Essex High School was back in business. The new school Ð the one that makes up a portion of what sits there now Ð came at a cost of $85,000. In 1949, another addition was added, followed by a cafeteria in 1953 and other additions in 1960 and 1966. Finally, in the late 1990s the old gym Ò AÓ was demolished and in its place is the new gym and aquatics facility. When construction on the new facility is complete all
that will remain of the existing structure is the new gym and pool. I attended EDHS in the mid-1980s. Gym Ò AÓ played an important role in my high school experience because that was where the dances and other fun events were held. It had an old stage and sometimes had a stale smell to it. It even had a balcony that was no longer used when I went there. It was, however, used in the 1970s. My dad taught at Essex High School from 1969-1996. As a result, I got to go to high school long before I actually attended any classes there. His room was 217, upstairs with its windows facing the courtyard. When I was young, that room was a magical place filled with books and a back room containing props and costumes that were used in high school plays. Much of the magic was gone when I actually got there for real. My son graduated from the old school a couple of years ago and my daughter will graduate from the new school next year. IÕ m glad they got to attend Essex District High School, as I knew it. And IÕ m sure that their children will make memories in the new school, which will be two decades old (at least) when they get there. I hope they let the public take one last walk through the old hallways before the wrecking ball makes its final pass on the nearly 100-year old structure. Next year, nothing will be left but the memories.
Letter to the Editor I think this provincial election may take the prize for a new high in electoral apathy. Or should that be phrased Ô new low.Õ Many people feel it makes no difference who forms the next Ontario government. Ò They are all the same.Ó And certainly, over the years, all the parties have played a role in turning this once Ô haveÕ province into a Ô have notÕ one.
I guess I am not alone in feeling it is going to be Ô lose, lose, loseÕ for Ontario voters, no matter who we pick to lead us. Stay tuned. Andy Comber Essex
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Change in all I see Have you ever attended a town council meeting? Have you attended one since the municipal council decided to meet in the county council chambers? I should not be discussing this until I am well informed on the motive but here it goes from the view of the beholder. A meeting in the newly designed county council room puts the people who attend too distant from the council members. I feel as if there is little contact, as if the councilors prefer that we do not clearly hear them or know exactly what is being determined. That county council room was designed when there were 21 municipalities around that circular table. I presume the situation is no different whether it is the county or municipal council now that the number of members has been reduced by amalgamation. However, I donÕ t think the municipal council needs to use such a huge area for its meetings. County council has no choice. The location does provide more room for the public and there have been times when the meetings were held in the Essex town hall where people were standing in the
doorway because all the seats were filled. But that is very unusual. For most meetings there is very low attendance and the smaller quarters provide an atmosphere of caring and understanding because the speakers and the listeners are closer together. In the county building one can feel it is very impersonal. After amalgamation there was a suggestion that meetings should be held alternately between Harrow and Essex but the meeting room here was more suitable from many angles. If they were in different buildings for meetings there was a problem when reference had to be made to something that was on file. If it were in the files at Essex it was impossible to have it to answer a question that came up during a discussion in a Harrow meeting, or vice versa, so it was decided to hold all the meetings here regularly. If you have a reason to talk with council members about a concern, you felt you have really met with them but in that huge county chamber it seems more like a judge and jury session, or even more impersonal. And is there no question of file accessibility?

Family of School Dance for African Schools
(From left to right) Tatjana Kirincic, Kennedy Campeau and Grace Bennett are pictured at a dance held this past Friday for EDHS’s feeder schools to raise money for a new Redemption School in Sierra Leone, Africa.
Last Friday, Essex District High School hosted the Essex family of schools dance, which was a way to bring the Grades 6, 7 and 8 students from EDHSÕ s feeder schools together to raise funds for Redemption School in Sierra Leone, Africa. The theme of the night was Glow For Africa and in keeping with the theme the students wore glowbracelets. The students were also reminded of the struggles of getting an education in Sierra Leone through photo displays on the walls and on the screen in the gym where the dance was held. In 2010, Essex District High School and its feeder
schools Ð Colchester North, Essex Public and Gosfield North – took on a very important project under the leadership of retired EDHS teacher, John Garinger. Garinger helped spearhead an effort to raise $40,000 to build a school in Maforeka, Sierra Leone. The school was finished in July 2010 and became home to the Maforeka Red Raiders. Since then, EDHS and the elementary schools, continue to raise money for the Maforeka School, called the Red Raider Learning Centre, to cover annual operational costs and purchase school supplies. This has created
a special relationship between the local students and the students in Africa. This ongoing project, helped shed light on Redemption School. In 1999, teacher Makallay Bangura built Redemption School, which is located in Free Town, Sierra Leone. It is a primitive structure with tin walls and roof and a dirt floor. It is also the place where 200 children get their education. In 2012, while visiting the Maforeka School, Garinger was invited to take some school supplies to Redemption. He was amazed by the attitude of the hard working students. Many of them went on to graduate to high school despite the conditions in which they were learning.
519-776-5287
He brought his story back to EDHS and the Leadership Class decided to take on a new project, Miracle for Makallay, partnering with schools across Ontario to build a new Redemption School. The money that was raised at the dance on Friday will go towards this effort. Colchester North Public School Grade Eight students Grace Bennett, Kennedy Campeau and Tatjana Kirincic helped organize the dance. Three months ago Garinger toured the feeder schools to share the story of the Maforeka School and Redemption with the students there. Ò That inspired us,Ó said Bennett, Ò to see these children who are so young and work harder than we will ever have to in our entire lives.Ó Kirincic said there are many things we take for granted that the people in Sierra Leone lack, such as electricity, clean water and education. Ò They want to go to school,Ó she said, adding that hearing about their hardship, Ò makes me appreciate what we have.Ó Campeau said that she hoped the students who attended the dance understood what it was raising funds for. She plans to continue to work to support the African schools when she attends Essex District High School. Ò This is not a one-

time thing,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s something that we have to continue to carry on.Ó The students thought the dance would raise around $200. This will
be combined with the amounts raised through other fundraisers, such as other dances and a walkathon. TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE WWW.FORSYTHTRAVEL.COM

KDHS annual Auto Expo to feed those in need
The tech students at Kingsville District High School helped organize the annual Auto Expo, which took place last Friday afternoon. This event will help the students provide the Kingsville Food Bank with non-perishable food items and funds.
by Sylene Argent On Friday afternoon, students and staff at Kingsville District High School hosted the sixth annual Auto Expo. This event provided an opportunity for the
schoolÕ s tech students to show off the skills they have obtained over the past semester, promote auto engineering, and had many cars entered into the car show exhibit. Gord Osborne, the
auto shop teacher at KDHS, was pleased to welcome the community to the event to either display their own vehicles or to look at the 125 showpieces on display. The Auto Expo raises
funds and awareness for the Kingsville Food Bank. Osborne said around $2000 is typically raised and around eight cases of non-perishable foods and canned good items were collected for donation to
the food bank. The Auto Expo is an excellent way for the high school students to learn how to give back to the community, he said. ItÕ s important, he added, for students to learn to look for ways to help those who are less fortunate. Ò TheyÕ re so thankful for the donation,Ó Osborne said of the food bank volunteers. He added that those donations are especially in need this time of year as food bank shelves tend to empty heading into the summer months. He thanked those who participated in or attended the event for supporting the program and the Kingsville Food Bank. Grade eight students from Kingsville High SchoolÕ s feeder schools were invited to enjoy the afternoon at the Expo. There were games available for them at the event. Having the grade eights from feeder schools come out and
attend the event makes for a nice transition into high school, Osborne said. It gives the soon-tobe high school students an opportunity to meet some of the current KDHS students and ask questions about the tech department. KDHS also welcomed students from Western Secondary and Essex District High School to the event. KDHS Principal Dina Salinitri said the Auto Expo was an Ò incredible community focused event that demonstrated the pride the students have in their school and community. It was nice to see the community members join us.Ó There was a big focus on learning during the Auto Expo, she added, and noted KDHSÕ s Tech Department is incredible.

Open house for outdoor smoke free initiative... open house is significant because it is important the public has the opportunity to voice their say on the issue. She is certainly in favour of having some kind of outdoor smoking ban on municipal properties where there are youth around. For example, she doesn’t have a problem with smoking near the Bavarian Gardens during the Fun Fest, but would like to see no one smoking near the area that contains children’s rides. Since discussions on the proposed bylaw have come into play, Bondy noted that some think this issue should be a provincial matter. Others recognize the hazards of second hand smoke and do not like to see youth around it. During discussions at Council meetings in the past, residents have raised the issue of personal rights. What Bondy would like to see come out of an Outdoor Smoking Free Bylaw is the de-normalization of smoking. An outdoor ban at municipal properties would help make smoking around children less socially acceptable and could encourage the public to be healthier. Smoking also has an environmental effect, she said. Bondy added that this would not control smoking on private boats or at home, just municipal areas. She believes this bylaw would be self-enforcing. Essex Councillor Bill Baker agreed healthy living is important. He hopes the province will come forward and implement a bylaw on this issue, as then these standards would be universal from municipality to municipality. At the June 7 Meeting of Council, it was noted that last November, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, Deb Matthews, released the Youth Smoking Prevention
Act, of which part of this act included a ban at certain outdoor spaces, including parks and playgrounds. The bill was still being read at Queen’s Park, but the fate of the bill is unknown as the province is currently undergoing an election.
Baker thinks the best policy is public education on the harms of smoking. He also wants to discuss what is fair as far as designating areas for smoking. During this open house event, those in attendance will also have an opportunity to
listen to the results of the survey conducted in November regarding this issue. Delegations can register to speak at the open house by contacting Town Clerk Cheryl Bondy at 519776-7336 ext. 32. Bondy encourages
those who cannot attend the meeting to email their Councillors to forward their opinions or suggestions. In addition to municipal bylaws, and proposed municipal bylaws, regarding smoke free outdoor spaces, earlier this year the Essex

Region Conservation Authority announced its own initiative that, since April 1, limits smoking at the John R. Park Homestead, Holiday Beach, and the Hillman March conservation areas.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
- QueenÕ s birthday Ò The 24th of May is the QueenÕ s birthday and if we donÕ t get a holiday we will all run away.Ó When I was in elementary school there was the possibility the 24th of May would be abandoned as a holiday because the Queen whose birthday it was meant to celebrate was dead and we had a King on the throne, so school kids were afraid they would lose that happy day. Yes, we got the holiday and on the 24th as stated, not on a Monday. Realizing that the woman whose birthday was being celebrated was no longer on the throne there was a time when the date was known as Empire Day. Yes, it was also known as Victoria Day. Now I wonder whether it has little royal meaning but rather it is an excuse for a long weekend in May? I think I have told you my aunt and uncle came from London with lots of firecrackers, as we named them. We would go fishing in the Thames River that was the border of my Dad’s farm. I don’t remember catching any fish but I do remember mother having to pull the bloodsuckers from between my toes. Horrors! I donÕ t remember anytime that it was a rainy day. The sun would shine and the air would be warm, always! Probably not but it is better to remember the fun days and donÕ t ask me what we did on the holidays when everything was wet. Besides in those days we had April showers that brought May flowers; not like this year when is seems to be May showers. Heavy ones at that. Call it Victoria Day or the QueenÕ s birthday or simply the long May weekend, it amazes me that the birthday of Queen Victoria had so much significance that a holiday based on it is still being observed. I donÕ t think that Queen was revered any more than our present Queen and probably the reason we donÕ t have a holiday for her birthday is there is not a need for the expense to business of another one in the spring. Along with that our QueenÕ s birthday is in April, not in as great a time as May and it is near Easter. Everything closed in those days of the 24th. At least I presume everything was shut down for the great day because it was a holiday for my uncle who worked in a factory in London. As I think of it now, it was quite an event for our family when they would stay until dark to light those fire crackers. That meant driving home in the dark but all cars had the same lamps and there werenÕ t very many of them. My brother and I ran around all day with sparklers and he often had some little bangers that were strung together and when he ignited one end they sputtered off in their glory of noise and flash of light I didnÕ t like those but it was the big ones I hated most and I would run into the house and plug my ears. As I think of that I am sure Uncle Harry was dismayed because I expect he spent all that money on those big shooters that went high in the sky with a loud roar as a fun time for the children. His daughter was grown up by then That was the only day in the year that fireworks were ignited at homes. I’m not certain of the significance of them for the Queen’s Birthday but it was felt by most families that they must have a few firecrackers for the youngsters. Actually that was the highlight of the holiday even though fishing was enjoyed, but not everyone lived with a river at the back of their farm so they could easily go fishing.

Ò The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. DonÕ t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” ~ Barack Obama
by Sylene Argent Every year, the McGregor Music Festival attracts hundreds of music lovers from all over the region to enjoy a day of non-stop live music while raising awareness and funds for the Windsor Essex County Cancer
Centre Foundation in the effort to fight cancer. This yearÕ s event, which will take place on Sunday, June 8 at Co-An Park in McGregor, will mark the festivalÕ s 25th anniversary. In celebration of this silver anniversary, this
yearÕ s festival will have a lot to offer patrons many local bands, the traditional pig auction, a car show, and raffles. 25th anniversary t-shirts will be available at the event. Organizers are hoping for a great show and strong community support. The music will start at noon on the day of the event. The bands and performers that will take to the stage throughout the day, include C2C Entertainment, County Connection barbershop quartette, Daniel Rush Band, Jammin 4 Wellness, Bad Moustache, Brand X Live, Lookin Back Band, Exit 31, and Rio Michaels and Friends.

Since its inaugural event, the McGregor Music
Festival has raised around $200,000. The Music Festival continues to be a success in part because of the community support, a long list of dedicated volunteers, as well as the bands and musicians who donate their time to the cause. Long & McQuade also donates the equipment for the bands to use. Organizers are urging the community to support the event, and enjoy an afternoon filled with fun and entertainment.

Rock N Rodeo enjoys large turnout... their way to share their thoughts and photos online. Everyone seemed to want to pass on the message they had a lot of fun over the weekend, she said. Wrapping up the night on Saturday evening, Canadian country star Brett Kissel took to the stage. Kissel was recently named the Juno Breakthrough Artist of the year. Kissel was the headliner in the lineup of musical entertainment on Saturday evening with the Mike Ure Band and Crystal Gage taking the stage as the opening acts. The rodeo continued on Sunday afternoon. To help share information
about horses, a Ò Round up of HorsesÓ event was held over the weekend. Many different breeds of horses and ponies were showcased with the announcers explaining how each breed originated, what unique characteristics they have, and what type of riding discipline or work they are best suited for. Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village Vice Chairperson Mickey Moulder was pleased with the event turnout. He said that one of the reasons of hosting an event of this magnitude Ò is to prove Canada South can put on good shows.Ó Christine added that she

Scouts host bottle collection fundraiser by Sylene Argent To raise funds and awareness of their group, members of the 3rd Essex Scouts, Cubs, and Beavers dressed in their uniforms and hosted a bottle collection at Essex United Church and throughout the surrounding neighbourhood last Wednesday evening. This
event also allowed the youth to connect with the community. With help from their leaders, they canvassed the area asking residents for empty bottles as well as picked up abandoned recyclables along the way. These items will be recycled and any profits will help these clubs fund
their programs, which includes weekly meetings, area field trips, and camping in the region and beyond. Not only did the bottle collection help the youth raise funds, it also taught them the importance of recycling, caring for the environment, and keeping the community clean.
The 3rd Essex Scouts, Cubs, and Beavers took the opportunity to host a bottle drive last Wednesday evening. The funds this campaign will raise will help fund scouting opportunities these youth will be able to enjoy.
The Scouts program provides an opportunity for youth to socialize with other youth with similar interests and to complete tasks that earn them badges. The skills they learn are useful and can be applied outside of scouting, such as knot tying and camping. Through scouting they learn to be leaders and the importance of
being involved in the community. Being a Scout means getting the opportunity to explore the region. They recently took a fieldtrip to the Canadian Historical
Aircraft Association Museum, where they learned about the airplanes of the past and the roles they played in historic events such as WWII.

4-H Beef Club by Mikayla Nelson On Wednesday, April 23 the Essex County 4-H Beef Club had its second meeting which was held at the McLean family farm. The meeting started with the 4-H pledge and the secretary’s minutes from the previous meeting. At this meeting we learned all about judging. We had to judge safety work boots and breeding heifers. Each of us now know what to look for when buying work boots and when looking for a great breeding heifer. John gave us a tour of the farm and then explained to us how the farm is run. We then had snacks and the meeting was adjourned. Thank you to the McLean’s for hosting the meeting, our next meeting was held Wednesday, May 21.

4-H Heritage Club Meeting #7 submitted by: Joelle Goegebeur Our 7th meeting is the day trip to Brantford’s Iroqraft which six of our members attended. We all met at the museum at 9am and switched into two cars to make the 3 hour trip. We each had $55 to spend from the money we raised to put toward new items for our uniforms. We each found something to buy to either make a new outfit or enhance our existing ones. Once everyone bought what they wanted, we all piled back into the cars to make the trip back. Once we got back to the museum at about 5pm, we said our goodbyes and everyone got into their own cars and went home. It was a very productive trip and everyone now has something else extra for their regalia.

1938 Ford coupe 40 years in Saskatchewan barn
McElwain leads Red Raiders to next track meet by Fred Groves Led by Lucia McElwain, the Essex 1938 Ford street rod owned by Jim Smith, Wellandport, Ontario. District High School Jim Smith of Wellandport, Ontario, writes: “Hello Bill, I really enjoy all your ‘Old track team will be well Car Detective’ articles. I have a 1938 Ford Deluxe business coupe. I bought it from a represented at this weekÕ s fellow in Ayr, Ontario, in 1997. He told me he bought it in western Canada, where it SWOSSAA track and field meet. sat in a barn for 40 years. Last week, at “I think the barn was near Biggar, Saskatchewan, because of the piece of paper I Sandwich Secondary found in the trunk advertising a Shirley Temple movie: ‘Susannah of the Mounties’ with Randolph Scott and Margaret Lockwood at the Onyx Theatre in that town. I also school at the WECSSAA found a 1938 quarter and a 1942 dime in the car. My wife had the quarter made into a meet, McElwain won the midget girls 300m hurdles key fob. Ò The car has now been transformed into a street rod, which took three-and-a-half with a time of 48.55, was years. I retained the original look on the outside. It is powered by a 396 V8 with first in the triple jump at 700R4 transmission and a 9-inch Ford rear end with a Mustang II front end. The car 10.73 and won the 400m at 1:03.03. McElwain also also has a completely new frame. “My wife and I have a lot of fun driving it to shows from Moncton, NB, to Louisville, stepped up two divisions Kentucky, and Michigan, and lots of other shows in Canada and the U.S. In going to to the senior girls 4x100 these shows, we have met a lot of wonderful people and have made many friends. Just relay team, which came in first and was second in the love this sport! Thanks again for the great articles.Ó The Shirley Temple movie mentioned above came out in 1939, when JimÕ s car was 4x400. one year old. The ad for the movie at the Onyx Theatre in the Saskatchewan town The senior relay team, of Biggar stated: Ò Showing today 3:30 to 9:30 Continuous.Ó Also included with the which also consisted of movie was a comedy and a news reel. And after the last show, the theatre held a “BIG Taylor Ross, Sierra Wolfe DANCE” with music supplied by the Biggar Orchestra. Jim’s letter arrived in my and Madeline McCloskey, mailbox within a day or two of the news on TV announcing that Shirley Temple had won the 4x100 at 50.69 at passed away at age 85. WECSSAA with a time of Jim Smith’s 1938 Ford coupe is a classic example of Art Deco styling with its 50.69, just missing their curvaceous grille and sleek body lines. The windshield can be cranked open at the own record of 50.14. bottom for an early form of air conditioning. When JimÕ s car was new, it had mechanical McCloskey was brakes, with Henry Ford claiming that this design gave you “the safety of steel from pedal to wheel.Ó One year later, Ford switched to hydraulic brakes, which Jim has added to his ’38. His Ford when new had a flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches and 85 horsepower and a Windsor factory retail price of $845. IÕ m always looking for more stories.

Cam Crowder on board as 73’s hold rookie camp
Essex 73’s defenceman Matthew Rosati is pictured behind the bench at last week’s 73’s rookie camp.
by Fred Groves The Essex 73Õ s had a good look into their future last week as they hosted their rookie camp at the Essex Centre Sports Complex. About 80 hopefuls showed what they can do as they tried to impress
General Manager Scott Miller, head coach Gil Langlois and the rest of the coaching staff that has a new addition in Cam Crowder. Ò He is replacing Steve Caldwell,Ó Langlois said of Crowder. Ò We will use his talents where they
best align. He is an Essex boy and he knows the tradition.Ó Crowder grew up playing in the Essex Minor Hockey Association system, played four years with the 73Õ s and helped them win two Schmalz Cups in 2001 and 2005 and three Great Lakes Junior Ô CÕ Hockey League titles. Ò His roots go deep with the 73Õ s,Ó added Langlois. The newest addition to the 73Õ s coaching staff is the son of former NHLer Keith Crowder and the nephew of Bruce Crowder who not only played in the NHL but also had a very successful collegiate coaching career. Ò I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to getting back with the team I played for,Ó said Crowder who coached at the Windsor AAA level and was an assistant with the LaSalle Junior Ô BÕ Vipers before heading back to Essex. He will be responsible for the forwards and some special-team work while fellow ex-player Anthony Iaquinta will once again be in charge of the defence. Ò I am just trying to add to these guys. They have been unbelievably successful since Gil has been here,Ó said Crowder. As far as who was on the ice last week, similar to last year, the 73Õ s will have about nine or ten spots to fill. For the second straight year, Essex made it to the OHA Junior Ô CÕ finals. A big part of that success was younger players including the teamÕ s top rookie, Tyler Scott. Ò We have openings at all the positions. We have a lot of turnovers. We are excited about the talent we have,Ó said Langlois. SLAPSHOTS... The 73Õ s annual golf tournament is May 31 at Belleview. It was nice to see several 73Õ s players working the bench during rookie camp including Matthew Rosati and Dallas Pereira.

It’s time for the Ravens to get a topnotch facility by Fred Groves
The Greater Essex County District School Board and the Essex town council need to wake up and smell the pigskin. An opportunity is staring them in the face to keep a growing sports program from leaving town and to reap the financial benefits that go with it. I am talking about the Essex Ravens football program and their attempt, rather their scream, to get a new facility. The reasons for the school board and the municipality to get into the game and become an equal partner with the Ravens are numerous. Here are but a few. The Ravens have played all of their home games on the Red Raider field at Essex District High School and putting in artificial turf to replace
the grass would certainly cut down on player injuries and maintenance. The high school could use the facility as well and would certainly be on the same playing surfaces as their neighbours who have gone to turf. Soccer could also be played there which would also be a benefit to the local Optimist program. New bleachers are a must. Ever sit in those things? I think they are the same ones that my older brother Rob and
Wayne Ducharme looked up into when they won the 1967 SWOSSAA high school football title. Build it and they will come is not just a catch phrase in a movie but a reality. When the town went to the expense of building the Essex Sports Complex they attracted the Sun County Panthers AAA hockey program. Everyone knows I am a huge promoter of amateur sports. I am for

three reasons Ð it unites a community, it keeps kids out of trouble and keeps them active, and opens the door for future opportunities. With more and more businesses closing, and houses up for sale, and the lack of development in Essex, itÕ s only fitting to make an investment into the future that will attract instead of repel. Glen Mills and the Ravens football program have grown in leaps and bounds every year and rival any sports program in this area for championships. This summer, due to the fact that the high school isunder construction, the Ravens are playing elsewhere. The varsity team is at the University of Windsor and the three younger teams are at Villanova High School. Whether or not the Ravens return to Essex is dependent on what the school board and the local municipality does or doesnÕ t do. If Glen and the Ravens donÕ t return, well, I really wouldnÕ t blame them.
