Big turnout for Essex Legion’s Remembrance Day ceremony by Sylene Argent Hundred of Essex residents gathered at the local cenotaph on Sunday morning, to honour the fallen soldiers and veterans who have fought for the rights and freedoms Canadians enjoy today, as part of this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony. Craig Chartier, Second Vice President of the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201), which organizes the local Remembrance Day ceremony every year, began the wreath laying ceremony with noting time stands still for a moment, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, as the community remembers those who made the ultimate sacrifice for peace. The community comes together on Remembrance Day, Branch Padre Kim Gilliland explained, to honour and pay tribute to those who fought and those who supported them from home. He prayed that better ways to deal with conflicts can be discovered in the future for peace. This year’s recognition event was extra special as 2018 marked the centennial anniversary of WWI’s Armistice. “Although every Remembrance Day is important, this year’s ceremony has added significance as we mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the First World War,” Dan Gray, President of the Essex Legion, said during the Remembrance Day ceremony.

Essex Legion hosts vigil at the cenotaph for WWI Armistice anniversary by Sylene Argent In recognition of Remembrance Day and the centennial anniversary of WWI’s armistice, around 40 individuals volunteered to take on a shift to stand in silence at the Essex Centre cenotaph. The Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) organized the vigil, which, thanks to number of volunteers, was able to start around 48 hours before the 11th hour on November 11. Essex Legion’s

Second Vice President, Craig Chartier, said there was a great turnout of those who participated in the vigil from the OPP, Essex Fire & Rescue, and the Legion. Community members volunteered for shifts as well. Most participants took on one-hour shifts, though some opted to stand in silence for two. “We got a lot of good, positive feedback from the community. There were a lot of good Samaritans, who stop by the cenotaph to say ‘thank you for doing this’

OPP Constable Scott Doherty took on the 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. vigil at the cenotaph shift on Saturday morning as part of the Essex Legion’s two-day event that paid homage to veterans and fallen soldiers. The vigil was held in recognition of Remembrance Day and the 100th anniversary of WWI’s Armistice. OUT TALK TO US ABUP SEWER BACK PROTECTION

to those who took part in the vigil,” Chartier said. “For the first year, I was quite impressed we could do two days. I

was very happy with the participation,” Chartier said of those who volunteered. “I would have liked more kids to get involved. That is something we can focus on for next year. Maybe, we can even invite families to take part.” Though the weather was cold for the volunteers to stand in silence as part of the vigil, Chartier said one or two hours was a

small amount of time to brave the cool weather as servicemen fought in trenches for days in-anddays-out in inclement weather during wars of

the past. “I hope the vigil will be a yearly thing,” Chartier said. “People are already saying ‘sign me up for next year.’”

Holy Name students honour Remembrance Day with mass

by Sylene Argent On Friday morning, the

LSST Department at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic

Elementary School led a Remembrance Day mass inside the local school’s gymnasium as a way to pay tribute to veterans and fallen soldiers who fought for the rights and freedoms Canadians enjoy today. With 2018 marking the centennial anniversary of the Armistice of WW1, Holy Name students put extra special effort into this year’s ceremony. The

grade eight students, for instance, made “Crosses of Remembrance” for the mass. Each cross depicted the name of a local citizen who served their nation during times of war. During the mass, the students stood at attention, holding the crosses. Additional crosses were placed around the school. Each of the students were able to proudly wear a poppy, thanks to the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) Leading up to the Remembrance Day mass, the grade eight students visited the Essex cenotaph to take time to reflect on the significance of remembrance, while observing the engraved monuments onsite. They then participated in an 11-minute moment of silence to honour service men and women, who have served their nation, and the sacrifices they made for rights and freedoms.

to maintain peace, or serving on humanitarian missions. We remember them, individually, by wearing a poppy close to our hearts,” Gray said. On Remembrance Day, many thousands of individuals from across the nation, gather at cenotaphs or at other locations to pay tribute to fallen soldiers and veterans. “But wherever we are, we will think about the incredible sacrifices made to ensure the freedoms we enjoy today.” The Legion, Gray continued, has a “Solemn duty to ensure that Canadians overwhelmingly find Remembrance Day as relevant today as when it began nearly a century ago. By doing so, we will reassure the more than 700,000 Canadian veterans that we care.” The Royal Canadian Legion has a year-round commitment of making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families. It is never too early to begin to understand the significance of Remembrance Day. The Essex Ravens Novice hockey team proved that as the young teammates

attended the ceremony with a large poppy-shaped sign they made to thank local veterans. Sunday’s Remembrance Day ceremony began with a parade that began at the Essex Legion and made its way to Essex United Church. A mass then took place in honour of service men and women, which was followed by the wreath laying ceremony at the cenotaph.

I always look forward to Remembrance Day. It is a time when we all get to set aside some time to learn about our history and pay tribute to those men and women who sacrificed so much, sometimes their own lives, to ensure the rest of us get to enjoy freedom; something we can all too easily take for granted. I am always pleased to see how the community prepares for Remembrance Day. Of Course, we all know about the ceremony at the cenotaph, and I am always blown away by the volume of individuals who come out to participate in the event. This year was no exception, especially since the event took place on a Sunday. It is always a pull-at-theheartstrings-moment to watch our veterans place wreaths at the base of the cenotaph. I especially loved heading to Holy Name Catholic Elementary School on Friday morning to see what the students organized in celebration of Remembrance Day. Leading up to the school-wide mass in honour of Remembrance Day, the grade eight students were positioned in the hallways and inside the school’s gym, holding “Crosses of Remembrance,”

which were created to honour local citizens who serviced in wars. What a wonderful way to remember. When I was in school, the annual Remembrance Day masses were always the same. We never really got a chance to embrace what the special day represents because most of the school sat and watched a selected few other students read a bit about the significance of the day. This was a wonderful way to engage the students and really let them not only hear about the importance of Remembrance Day, but get an understanding of it by creating and holding those crosses. Doing such things will surely help them to carry on that significance with them for rest of their lives, which will help ensure the sacrifices of veterans and fallen service men and women are not forgotten. And, did you see the poppies set up at Iler Lodge? What a beautiful gesture. In addition, the Essex Legion hosted a vigil at the Essex Cenotaph leading up to Sunday morning’s Remembrance Day ceremony, in special recognition of the centennial anniversary of WWI’s Armistice.

I volunteered to take on the 3-4 a.m. shift on Saturday morning. It was awesome. I stood there at the cenotaph and reflected on how much we owe our veterans, fallen soldiers, and service men and women. I froze as it was a very cold morning (and did take a brief break to warm up a bit at the mid-way point), but all I could think about was that I was able to choose the clothes I wore to keep warm and that my time in the cold was limited to an hour. Those who fought for our freedoms had no choice in the matter. I took the time to read over the names on the monuments on site, which I had never done, and I was especially proud to do it. Getting involved with the vigil was a great moment in which to participate, and one where I truly felt uplifted. I am always fearful Remembrance Day will get less attention as we move forward into the future, but by doing these things, I am a little more assured we will continue to remember them.

Letter to the Editor... What is a Slav and what does it mean to history? We would all agree that WWII was an extension of WWI. Twenty million people died in WWI, and somewhere between 50 and 80 million people may have perished in WWII. In addition, anywhere from 20 to 30 million or more people died from the Spanish Influenza, which was greatly helped along its pandemic path by conditions found in WWI. In addition, anywhere from 12 to 14 million people died in the Russian civil war of 1917 to 1924 and beyond, which brought the Soviet Communists to power, who caused directly and indirectly the deaths of over 100 million people worldwide since 1917. All of these things and a whole lot more sprang from WW I. Most of the 15 or so countries that made up the Balkan States in Southern and Southeastern Europe were and are Slavik, with Russia being the largest, which historically always saw itself as the great protector of the Slavs. In history, so many Slavs were enslaved that the word “Slav” became the root of the word “Slave.” In any case, in 1905 the Japanese defeated the Russians, which greatly weakened Russia. So, in 1909 when non Slav Austro-Hungary absorbed the Slav regions, known as Bosnia-Herzegovina in the

Balkans, the Russians stood down when Austria’s ally Germany (non Slav) bullied Russia into taking no action. Now, fast forward to 1914, when Austria began having ideas to possibly annex Serbia, which was a Slav nation. To foment dissent against Austria, the Serbian secret police weaponized and trained four young Bosnians to infiltrate Bosnia and go to Sarajavo, where the Austrian Crown Prince, Franz Ferdinand, was making a state visit with his wife, Sofia. One of these men, Gavril Princip was a 19-year old Bosnian Serb, who did successfully assassinate the Crown Prince and his wife. Non-Slav Austria in retribution within 3 weeks issued an ultimatum to Slavik Serbia, the answer to which Austria rejected and then began shelling Serbia. Before opening hostilities, however, Austria received assurances from the German Kaiser that Germany would support Austria (thinking that Russia, the savior of the Slavs), as it did in 1909, would not intercede on the side of Slavik Serbia if she was to be attacked by Austria. Germany bet wrong. Russia mobilized for war against Germany and the Austro-Hungarian empire. Germany then mobilized for war against Russia. France was tied by treaty to defend Russia if she was ever attacked. So now, in late July and early August of 1914, we have Russia at war with both Germany and the AustroHungarian Empire in its defence of Slavik Serbia. And

Commentary - OFA

Assessing options for high-DON corn By Keith Currie, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture

As Ontario’s fall harvest continues, corn quality and the threat of moulds and mycotoxins have become a serious concern across the province. Elevated levels of vomitoxin (DON) in this year’s corn crop has growers concerned about finding a market for their grain, and in some cases, figuring out how to safely dispose of crops that cannot be marketed. Mycotoxins and DON can cause serious health threats to livestock when ingested at concentrated levels. DON can also pose a serious health threat to farmers working with the infected grain if the mould is inhaled. Early field reports across the province are indicating higher than expected levels of DON and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) reminds all farmers to work safely during the busy harvest season, especially when dealing with DON-infected corn. With higher levels of DON reported, this is the year

Letter to the Editor... we have France and its North African and Indo China colonies now at war with Germany and Austria because of its treaty obligations to Russia. Russia surprised everyone by attacking Germany first and Germany attacked France via neutral Belgium. By attacking Belgium, Great Britain was automatically brought in to the war, including Canada, India, South Africa, Burma, Australia, New Zealand, etc., and also Italy. Japan was under treaty to Great Britain so it came in to the war on the side of the allies. And Ottoman Turkey, still smarting from the loss of its Balkan possessions in the 1912 and 1913 Balkan Wars, came in on the side of Germany and AustroHungary. In addition, the United States entered WWI in 1917 on the side of the allies. It took Germany nearly 100 years, until 2010, to pay off its WW I loans to the U.S. Britain did not pay off its WWI loans until 2015 and she did not pay off her WWII loans to the U.S. and Canada until 2006. Well, you get the picture, understanding who the man was who lit the match (Gavril Princip the assassin) is important. And we should understand a little more about the Slavs since much of the 20th century and today’s geopolitical world, including WWI, creation

to scout fields and sample grain. If you are concerned about a field, collect a sample and have it tested for mycotoxins before harvesting, storing or feeding to livestock. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) also recommends harvesting and drying corn as quickly as possible, especially susceptible hybrids. Leaving diseased corn in the field allows the fungi to keep growing, increasing the risk of mouldy kernels and mycotoxin contamination throughout the field. Mould and mycotoxin development stops when corn moisture is less than 15%. Be safe when handling DON-infected corn because inhaling the fungi-derived poison can have serious health implications, restricting airways and proper lung function. Prevent exposure by using protective gloves and eye protection, wear a mask and only work in well-

ventilated areas. The greatest risks of exposure can occur in semi-enclosed places like grain bins and the areas around operating combines and loading wagons. Finding a market for corn with higher levels of DON is a problem. There are few options for disposal, but research and on-farm trials continue across the province. For more information visit omafra.gov.on.ca. Any farmer who discovers DON in their crop is encouraged to call Agricorp as soon as possible at 1-888-247-4999. Agricorp can discuss the best practices for handling, sorting, and if necessary, destroying high DON corn, and review the coverage available to farmers experiencing losses due to DON. OFA will continue to work closely with Agricorp and the Grain Farmers of Ontario to assist farmers suffering losses from DON in anyway we can.

Councillor elect urging residents to think about joining the Police Services Board

File photo of Councillor elect, Kim Verbeek.

by Sylene Argent At the beginning of the last term of Council, in 2014, Essex resident Kim Verbeek put her name

forward as a candidate to serve on the Town of Essex’s Police Services Board. With a nod from

members of the current Term of Council, Verbeek began serving on the Committee as the Municipal Appointee soon after. When the opportunity presented itself, she stepped into the Vice-Chairperson position in 2017. With Verbeek getting elected to Council for the 2018-2022 term as a repressive of Ward 2, and fellow Committee member, Morley Bowman, getting elected as a representative for Ward 1, there are now two vacancies on this important Board; one being a Municipal Appointee and the other a Provincial Appointee. “I hope residents really consider applying for these two important vacancies on this Board,” Verbeek said. “I am looking to encourage the public to help fill those

vacancies; sooner rather than later.” As it can take some time for the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to approve such appointments, Verbeek is urging those who would have an interest in that position to do so as soon as possible. Verbeek said recently, the Ontario Association of Police Services Board (OAPSB) has noted it would like to have more diversity on municipal police services boards. “It is a good Board to sit on,” Verbeek said. “I want to encourage some change in the dynamic of the room [the Essex Police Services Board) because OAPSB is encouraging diversity for their team.” As part of the Essex Police Services Board, Verbeek was pleased to see some projects,

ERCA votes to keep horses off greenway, for now by Kyle Reid After reviewing survey responses, the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) decided to hold off on allowing horses on the Cypher Systems Greenway trail. The decision was made during last Thursday’s Board of Directors meeting. The conservation authority, however, will work to address challenges to hopefully allow horses to the trail in the future. In July, after equestrians expressed interest in having horses permitted on the greenway trail, ERCA launched a survey for feedback about expanding the sections of trail upon which horses are permitted. Over 850 individuals responded to the survey. The Cypher Systems Greenway trail, which runs some 26 kilometres between Essex and Amherstburg, does not currently permit horses, but equestrian use is permitted on sections of the ERCA Chrysler Canada Greenway. Some riders wanted to see horse access on both greenways.

Voice Of Inspiration “Knowledge is responsibility, which is why people resist knowledge.” ~ Stefan Molyneux

Kevin Money, ERCA’s Director of Conservation Services, said that while survey responses were favourable to changing the rule, ERCA’s Board of Directors ultimately decided to put a hold on allowing horses on the greenway.

The main reason, Money said, is a lack of proper infrastructure, namely parking lots to accommodate horse trailers, which riders need to use to transport their horses to areas with greenway access. “We don’t have parking for those big

trucks and trailers right now,” Money noted. “We don’t want to cause a safety problem by them parking on the road or creating a hazard that way. Until we have those facilities in place, it was deemed appropriate that we hold off.” Money said ERCA

isn’t ruling out the idea in the future, however, as the Conservation Authority will work to raise funds to add the necessary infrastructure, which will make the area safe for equestrian access. But, it could be quite costly and the group will need some help.

“It’s a very expensive to build a parking lot to that size and magnitude, so we’re seeking those corporate sponsorships through our foundation in order to build those facilities,” Money said.

The Day of the Poor Don’t let dry eye by Zachary Winger As some of you may know, November 18th is World Day of the Poor; a day in which we are encouraged to consider those less fortunate than ourselves and give generously what we can be. While this may be a day established by Pope Francis, it is a day that can appreciated by any caring person, be they religious or secular. With the cold weather approaching, charities are preparing for the busiest time of the year. People all over Canada struggle to buy their children winter

clothing and afford the increased costs of heating their home. This is why even more people than usual turn to institutions like The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP). Some people who may be too proud to ask for help, determined to stand on their own two feet; all the added stress of this time of year and the desperation to provide for their family causes them to humble themselves and seek help. A startling 13% of all Canadians helped by SSVP are in WindsorEssex county. I also encourage you

(NC) Dry eye is becoming one of the most common conditions seen by Canadian optometrists. The symptoms worsen in the winter months, when the great outdoors are cold and windy and there is little moisture in the air, both indoors and out. Don’t let blurry vision and itchy, watery, irritated eyes stop you from enjoying your favourite winter activities. The first step to preventing dry eye is learning the key facts: 1. Sometimes tears are a good thing. Dry eye occurs when your eyes produce an inadequate number of tears, or when tears lack the proper chemical composition. There are several tell-tale symptoms that indicate dry eye. If you are experiencing fluctuating vision, burning sensations or scratchy, gritty eyes, it’s time to see your eye care professional to talk about dry eye. 2. Extended periods of screen time can make things worse. Whether it’s answering emails, scrolling through social media, or binging on the latest Netflix release, we’re spending more time in front of screens than ever before. When the weather gets cold and outdoor activities become less attractive, the time spent on these devices increases. Always follow the 20-20-20 rule to give your eyes a break from extended periods of screen time. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will help refresh your eyes and combat dry eye. 3. It’s not a cookie-cutter condition. Most Canadians may not know there are a variety of dry eye conditions, and seeing your eye care professional is the only way to really understand what’s happening with your eyes. Dry eye comes in three major forms — evaporative dry eye, in which inflamed or clogged glands in the eyelid fail to secrete adequate oil to prevent tear evaporation, aqueous tear deficient dry eye, in which an insufficient quantity of watery tears is produced, and mixed dry eye, a combination of the two. Seeing your eye care professional is the only way to really know what’s happening with your eyes. 4. There isn’t a cure, but there is a solution. Although dry eye is usually chronic and can’t be cured, comfort can be greatly improved and eye health maintained with artificial tears. As the first all-in-one drop to provide hydration and lasting protection, Systane Complete lubricant eye drops are an ideal first-line treatment option for people who suffer from any type of dry eye.

The bells rang 100 times in Woodslee

What food banks actually need

submitted to EFP On Sunday, November 11, at sunset (5:45 pm) the bells at Woodslee United Church could be heard ringing. A small group, of twenty-five members, from the congregation of the church, gathered together to take part in ringing the church bell 100 times to acknowledge a very special Remembrance Day that marks 100 years since the end of WWI. Pictured right is Lakeshore Mayor Tom Bain and Evan and Tommy Sauve ringing the bells at Woodslee United Church on November 11 at sunset, 5:14pm. A small group of 25 members of the congregation gathered to ring the

(NC) Good things can happen when you have the food you need to thrive. Jason and Jonah would be the first to tell you this. When an injury forced Jason off work several years ago, he struggled. As a single dad trying to feed his young son, Jonah, Jason soon found himself at the doors of a local food bank—a critical resource where he received the food support they needed to help get through a rough patch. Today, Jason and Jonah run a small print shop, and donate a portion of their profits to their local food bank. “Knowing that the work that I put in can help other kids and other families going through what we went through means a lot to me,” Jonah said. Many of us include donating to our local food bank on our holiday to-do list. But you want to make sure you give items that are useful and in demand, so that they don’t go to waste. Here are some tips and ideas to consider. 1. Think about the nutritional value. People want healthy, nutritious food for themselves and their families. Thinking about donating cereal? Pick a low-sugar option. Pasta? Think whole grains. Soup? Find something with low sodium. Food is fuel and everyone deserves good fuel. 2. Helping new parents. Infant formula and baby food are always needed and go a long way to relieving the worry of parents struggling with food insecurity. 3. Protein, protein, protein! Protein is a staple for good health, but it can

be expensive and hard to keep on the shelves at a food bank. That’s why it’s always on the list of most-needed food items. Think canned meat and fish, canned and dried legumes, ancient grains like quinoa, and peanut butter. 4. Think about your own family. It’s a simple concept, but an important one. Donate items that you’d be happy to feed yourself or your family. Think about what you like to eat when you sit down together at the table. Keep these tips in mind when donating to your local food bank. Or make a financial contribution the next time you go shopping at your local grocery store - Real Canadian Superstore, Independent and other Loblaw grocery stores are collecting non-perishable food and financial donations until December 24th. Food items and financial contributions collected will go to local food banks and meal programs right in your community.

CTMHV display provides insight into the mind of Canadian soldiers at Vimy Ridge

by Kyle Reid A special presentation at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village (CTMHV) on Saturday gave visitors a glimpse into the minds of Canadian soldiers who took refuge in French caves near Vimy Ridge during WWI. Zenon Andrusyszyn,

Souterrain Impressions Exhibit Curator, described in painstaking detail the work done by his nonprofit organization, the Canadian Historical Documentation and Imaging Group (CANADIGM), in recreating the carvings soldiers made in a chalk cave near Vimy Ridge, before the famous battle

took place. The exhibit has travelled across the country and is currently on display at the CTMHV. Hundreds of soldiers were hiding from shellfire inside the chalk caves in France before taking part in the Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917. It is during this time when they made the carvings on

the cave’s walls. Through meticulous research and efforts to restore the chalk carvings, the CANADIGM team linked the carvings to service records at Library and Archives Canada, providing a living record of the soldiers’ sacrifice. Because of that effort, Andrusyszyn was able to tell the stories of the lives of many of the soldiers who had left their mark inside the French cave, captivating audience members who attended Saturday’s event. One display highlighted drawings of a pig and other farm animals. Andrusyszyn said that his team determined an Ontario soldier and farmer named Leroy Lacey drew the images. He survived the Continued on Page 13

MPP visited Kiwanis-Sunshine Point Camp to see results of a Trillium Grant

Essex MPP Taras Natyshak (right) presents Dan Inverarity, a volunteer of KiwanisSunshine Point Camp, with a certificate, recognizing the $110,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant the local campground received this summer.

by Sylene Argent On Wednesday afternoon, Essex MPP Taras Natyshak met with long-time volunteer Dan Inverarity at KiwanisSunshine Point Camp to celebrate an Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant the Harrow-area campground received earlier this summer. Along a tour of the campgrounds, Inverarity was able to show Natyshak how those funds enhanced the facilities. Thanks to the $110,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant, Kiwanis-Sunshine Point Camp was able to install a new playground and a pavilion, equipped with a pantry-like area with accessibility to electricity, which campers were able to utilize during their week-long stay during the warmer months. “The pavilion was really popular this summer,” Inverarity said. This past summer, Inverarity said KiwanisSunshine Point Camp was able to accommodate 385 campers. He would like to max out in 2019 by hosting 460 youths. Inverarity said the camp’s Board members work hard to fundraise $150,000 each year

to ensure the camp is available to as many youths, including campers of families facing economic stress, as possible. “This place exudes fun,” Natyshak said after insisting on trying out the zipline on the playground and testing the piano onsite. He was pleased to see all the camp was able to offer campers and that there is so much dedication

from supporters and donators, who ensure the camp can stay available to the youth. Natyshak said it was nice to see KiwanisSunshine Point Camp is able to offer a fun camping experience to many youths each summer, where the campers get to create new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Squires support Essex Community Services with bottle drive

Members of the Holy Name of Jesus Church Squires group presented Kelly Stack, Executive Director of Essex Community Services, with a cheque for over $500 on Monday evening. The funds, proceeds of a recent bottle drive, will help support the local organization’s programs and services.

by Sylene Argent On Monday evening, the Squires group at Holy

Name of Jesus Church presented just over $500 to Essex Community

Services. The Squires group earned the money this summer through

hosting a bottle drive. Chief Squire, Brennan Meloche, explained that

the club’s ten members went door-to-door earlier this summer, collecting recyclables from area residents as part of the annual bottle drive. This year, the Squires decided to forward the bottle drive proceeds to Essex Community Services. Meloche said the group chose Essex Community Services as the bottle drive benefactor this year, because the members wanted the ensure the money stayed local. They also wanted to support the programs and services the local organization provides for the community. “This is fabulous,” Kelly Stack said, who is the Executive Director of Essex Community Stack noted that when the minimum wage went up, funding did not

for Essex Community Services, which has created a challenge. She noted that not all of Essex Community Services’ programs are funded, and, because of that, the local organization relies on donations and volunteers to ensure every program it offers can continue to be accessible to those in the community who need them. “We are grateful to you,” Stack said to the Squires. The Squires group is a leadership program for young men between the ages of ten and 18. “We have a voice and we can do something with our talents and abilities,” Meloche said of being able to give back to the community. “It is great to see.”

an insight into what these men were thinking when they were below, waiting to go into battle,” Andrusyszyn said. Other soldiers carved elaborate images of their battalion badges into the

wall in the weeks before the battle; including the Canadian Scottish and the 48th Highlanders, among others. “They were proud of the battalions they were serving,” Andrusyszyn

said. “Whether they had talent in carving or not didn’t matter.” Others simply scratched their names and rank, documenting their time hidden inside the caves, and for many, a record of their sacrifice. “Some wrote their names down, and a few weeks later, they were gone,” Andrusyszyn said.

Gosfield North Public School involved in world record cup stacking attempt

On Thursday morning, Gosfield North Public School students took turns speed stacking in an attempt to be a part of a new world record.

by Adam Gault Dozens of enthusiastic grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 students took over the Gosfield North Public School gymnasium on Thursday, November 8 to do their part in a worldwide Guinness Book of World Records attempt to break

the record for “Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day.” The school’s effort was a part of the global “Guinness World Records Day,” an annual event that has co-operative record attempts from around

the world from students and groups looking to collectively break records of people engaging in group activities simultaneously. “The World Speed Stacking Association has a Stack Up every year,” grade 3/4 teacher, and Gosfield North speed stacking organizer, Bodeha Oozeer, explained. “A number of schools from around the world will register [for the annual event], and the object is to stack for 30 minutes at multiple locations around the world.” Sport stacking involves individuals or teams attempting to stack plastic cups into various pre-determined shapes and sequences as fast and as accurately as they can. Advocates for the sport have long stated the many

purported benefits of sport stacking, including improved coordination, ambidexterity, and general teamwork skills. “It is actually a competitive event, but what I like about it is gets kids being active, but also using both sides of their brain,” Oozeer said. “It’s good for sequencing, it’s good for speed, memory, there are a lot of benefits to it, too.” Although the official Guinness Book of World Records results won’t be known for several weeks, if successful, this will not be the first time the students of Gosfield North have been part of a successful world record attempt, having broken the same sport stacking record in 2016. “Two years ago, we did meet the goal, and we’re part of the Guinness Book of World Records,” Oozeer explained. “I was

telling the kids, not a lot of people can say they know anyone that’s in the

Guinness Book of World Records. If we do achieve

Gosfield North PS involved in world record cup stacking attempt... Continued on Page 14 Members of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a motor vehicle pedestrian collision at the intersection of Talbot Street North and Centre Street in Essex Centre at around 4:30 p.m. on Monday evening. A female was transported to an area hospital for treatment

of non-life-threatening injuries. Police closed the intersection for a short period to investigate the incident. Peter Spanis of Windsor, who said he has advanced first aid training, was one of the individuals who helped free the woman from beneath a transport truck. He said she had

this, each student will get a certificate showing that they were a part of this.â&#x20AC;? While the thrill of potentially being a part of a new world record was an exciting prospect for many of the students, Oozeer explained the most important part of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event was that students had fun in a productive, cooperative setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly about having fun stacking, especially for the younger ones,â&#x20AC;?

NOVENA: O Holy St. Jude! Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need; to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and humbly beg, to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance; help me in my present urgent petition.

O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thine arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His ﬁne head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail. (What a man).

Atom AE enjoy a great weekend

submitted to EFP The Essex Atom AE squad had a busy, but productive weekend. On Friday evening, the undefeated Belle River Jr. Canadiens came into the Libro Arena for a Bluewater League contest against the Essex Atom AE team. In the previous two matches the Ravens were outscored 21-3. Essex fell behind, 3-0, early in this contest, but the players hard work and positional play brought them back into contention. After a lot of exciting backand-forth action, and several spectacular saves by the goalies on both teams, it ended in a well deserved 4-4 tie. Caiden St. John had all four goals for Essex with assists going to Hudson Diemer (2), Austin Hamilton, Ryan Reid, Mason Dault, Cole Gossmann, and Mathieu Jakovcic. On Saturday evening the team was the guest of the Windsor Spitfires. Essex was treated to a “high five” tunnel as the Spits entered the ice surface, a tour of the Spit’s dressing room,, and autographs after the game. The players then scrimmaged between the first and second period, but viewers mentioned there wasn’t even a shot on net, but the crowd of 4,000 fans enjoyed it nonetheless. The Essex Ravens players would like to thank the Spitfire organization, and the parents, for allowing them to have such a great experience. Also, it was rumoured, the team showed off their dancing skills on the Jumbotron. A site for sore eyes! On Sunday, after the excitement of the previous evening, it was time to get back to work. The Ravens were the guests of the Windsor Spitfires again, only this time it was the Atom AE Spitfires. This game was a hard worked, back-and-forth, affair. Essex opened up a 2-0 lead that evaporated early in the third period. The Ravens swarmed the Windsor net, getting many opportunities for victory, but couldn’t get the puck over the line. The final score of the game was 2-2. Ryan Reid and Caiden St. John each scored goals for Essex with assists going to Mason Dault, Austin Hamilton, and Ty Patterson.

Silver in the Silver Stick for PeeWee Minors

Two award-winning 1955 Chevrolets

Gino and his ’55 Chevy at the 2018 Bothwell Car Show.

Born in 1957, Gino DelCiancio was about five years old in Leamington, Ontario, when he and mother visited a nearby farm where a ’55 Chevy was parked in a bush. Gino climbed in and pretended to drive it. Thus began his life-long love of 1955 Chevrolets! He bought his first ’55 Chevy at age 18 after spotting an ad in the Detroit Free Press. It was original and Gino finished a nut-and-bolt restoration by the early ‘80s. His car won over 200 trophies and awards and was on display at the Detroit Autorama. His favourite award came at the Tri-Five Chevy Show (’55, ’56, and ’57 Chevies) in Dearborn in 1989. All cars were given 1000 points to start, with points deducted for imperfections. Gino’s ’55 scored over 950 points and won a gold award against stiff competition from U.S. cars. Gino sold his ’55 in the year 2001. It went to Yorba Linda, California, where a son bought it for his dad. Gino flew out there the following year to see it. He missed it. In 2008, Gino’s wife began her 8-year struggle with breast cancer. To raise money for cancer, Gino organized a fund raising car show at the Roma Club in Leamington for three years in a row, where he gave away all his trophies. The biggest trophies went to the cars that registered earliest then other ones went to the other cars. Everyone left with an award. In 2016, his wife lost her battle with cancer. Gino continued looking for a ’55 Chevy and believes his wife’s spirit guided him in his search. In the fall of 2017, he found a grey one in Surrey, B.C. and bought it. Two days later, he saw an ad for a ’55 Chevy in Sarnia, ON. Gino took it for a ride and fell in love with it. What to do? He made the decision to go ahead and buy that one too. Now he had two ’55 Chevys. This past July, Gino decided to sell the grey one. His maroon-and-white ’55 has a 350 V8 with Muncie 4-speed floor shift. Gino turned it into show car and loves driving it with his special license plates: “LOVE MY 55.” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.

submitted to EFP The Essex Raven PeeWee Minor hockey team was in Owen Sound the first weekend of November for a Silver Stick Regional Qualifier tournament. The team took to the ice for game one, on Friday morning, against the Innisfil Winterhawks. The Ravens players pressured their opponents, and controlled much of the play, tallying all three goals in the lopsided 3 - 0 win. That same afternoon, at the home of the OHL’s Owen Sound Attack, the story would not be the same. The West Mall Lightning, of the GTHL, skated end-to-end with Essex. The defence and goaltenders held strong, for both teams, as two and a half scoreless periods passed by. Each team looked for the slightest opening to try to gain an advantage, and it was not until the final two minutes of the game when the first goal was scored. West Mall took a 1-0 lead into the final minute and Essex, with the extra attacker, could not find a chance to tie the game. The Lightning added an empty net goal as insurance. The Ravens’ next opponent, on Saturday morning, was the Oakville Rangers. The team was a real competitor with two of their players towering over the Essex lineup. That fact did not discourage the Essex boys in the least. With a tenacious effort, Essex was the first team to score a goal mid-way through the second period. Oakville responded a few minutes later, tying the game at one. Again, Essex jumped ahead, scoring two more goals throughout the period. The Rangers never gave in and scored late in the third period. But it was Essex that closed out the match, with a hard fought 3-2 victory. Essex faced the hometown Owen Sound Jr. Attack for the final round robin game. A win for Essex would secure the number one spot in Pool B, a loss could send the Ravens home early. The pressure did not affect the boys as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead. Strong play all over the ice kept them safely ahead for a final score of 3-1. As the top seed in pool B, the Ravens were matched up against the Center

Wellington Fusion, the second place finishers from pool A. The Fusion pressured the Essex defence early, tallying 15 shots in a period and a half compared to only a handful by the Ravens. Yet, no goals were allowed by either team. Essex stepped up its determination and put shot after shot on the Center Wellington goalie, but were unable to score. The game went into a five minute four-on-four, and a five minute three-on-three, before it moved into a shootout to determine a winner. After the first three shooters, for each team, the tie continued with both teams scoring once. An Essex goal by the fourth shooter meant that one more save and Essex would make the finals. The Fusion player skated in from center ice and raised a shot. A quick adjustment by the goalie, a puck off the shoulder and a handful of seconds passed by as the victory for Essex sunk in. The Essex team flooded the ice as the win put Essex into the final. In the final, Essex, once again, faced the Oakville Rangers. Oakville jumped out to an 2-0 lead before Essex replied, to make the game 2-1. A second goal for Essex was called off as the Ranger goalie covered the puck in the net and quickly pulled it out. It may have been seen by the fans and their cameras, but not the referees. The ensuing face off and break away resulted in a penalty shot awarded to Oakville. The shooter put the Rangers ahead 3-1. Essex scored late in the second period to keep the game close, but Oakville capitalized on a couple of takeaways and an empty net goal within the final two minutes of the third period to put the comeback win out of reach. The coaches and parents are extremely proud of all of the players as they gave everything they had, game in and game out, to play the best that they could. With the threat of elimination tailing them, the Ravens never cracked under pressure. A true sign of the dedication to each other as teammates. The boys of the Essex Raven PeeWee Minor team continued to surprise and upset their big city rivals with teamwork and friendship both on and off the ice.

73’s Soar over Flags, Canadiens Lakeshore to face its rival, the Canadiens. Just six minutes after puck drop, William Stadder opened the scoring for the visitors as he roofed a shot on Nolan Hakr. The goal would stand as the only one of the period although Lakeshore outshot Essex, 13 to 9. In the second period, Stadder’s line of Michael Vieira and Josh Pope-Ferguson continued to roll. This line doubled the 73’s lead four minutes into the period as Pope-Ferguson beat Hakr. Just three minutes later, Sylvano Valente joined the rush and had a wide-open cage to beat Hakr to extend the lead to three after two periods of play.

In the final frame, Lakeshore drew within a pair as Nathan Skulley beat D’hondt on a break-a-way. But, with three minutes remaining, Stadder scored an insurance marker. The two wins this week leapfrogs Essex to first place with a four-point lead over Dresden and a five-point lead over Mooretown.

Lakeshore Captain, Brendan Ireland, battles for the puck with 73’s forward Quinn Fazekas during Friday’s 4-1 win over Lakeshore.

by Garrett Fodor This past week, the Essex 73’s had a pair of games, which presented an opportunity for the local team to avenge losses experienced earlier in the season. The week began with Essex hosting the Mooretown Flags. In their previous matchup on October 21, the Flags defeated the 73’s, 3-1 in Essex. Tuesday, began on the right foot for Essex as it opened the scoring just seven minutes into the first period. Michael Ruttinger capitalized on a rebound and beat an out-of-position Jake Wilkins for the only goal of the period. Shots in the first period were 11-9, in favour of Essex. The middle frame got interesting as Essex used its speed to its advantage and drew a pair of penalties early. The 73’s have the best powerplay success rate in the league

and built off it as Michael Vieira riffled the puck by a screened Wilkins to give Essex a 2-0 lead, just over three minutes in. Just five minutes later, however, Nolan Farr came blazing down the wing with speed and beat 73’s goalie Jax D’hondt, to draw the Flags within one as the teams skated into the final frame. Shots on goal, after two periods, was 3117, for Essex. In the final frame, Vieira cushioned the lead once again, netting his second of the game just 50 seconds in. Mooretown responded 28 seconds after as Flags Captain, Nolan Riley, capitalized on a turnover in the neutral zone, beating D’hondt. The 73’s, however, shut down the Flags defensively and they were unable to tie the game. Essex prevailed, 3-2. Closing out the week, Essex traveled to
