Ellis, Malcolm, and Lyle use sleigh bells to cheer on Jingle Bell Run competitors.
by Sylene Argent The holiday season was kicked off on Sunday morning as nearly 400 people laced up to participate in the 21st annual Ken Knapp Ford Jingle Bell Walk, Run, and Wheel. The Jingle Bell Run supports Community Living Essex County, an organization that provides supports to over 600 local clients with an intellectual disability, and their families. And the sleigh bells were ringing as these participants took off
to challenge the 5km or 10km course that began at the local car dealership, and stretched down Talbot Street, towards Essex Centre’s business core. Even the youth were urged to get involved, and many took the opportunity to compete in the Little Elf Run. The Jingle Bell run partners with WRACE (Walkers and Runners Around the County of Essex).The local running association provided chip timing to the racers for accurate results. The top
racers in each category were recognized for their efforts following the race during a special ceremony. The race participants were also able to enjoy some holiday music and a complementary lunch to wrap up the afternoon. Tony DeSantis, Community Living Essex County’s Manager of Community Relations and Resource Development, was happy with this year’s participation, and was grateful to the event

Without the roster of volunteers who dedicate themselves, and Ken Knapp Ford for hosting the event to benefit Community Living Essex County, the event would not be able to continue.
He was grateful for this support also. The Jingle Bell Run Steering Committee will be busy for the next while, calculating the total the event was able to raise, through participant pledges and corporate sponsors, for Community Living Essex County. DeSantis was hoping the 2015 event will be as
successful as last year’s, which raised $9,000 for Community Living Essex County. The Jingle Bell Run does more than raise funds for Community Living. It also brings awareness to the organization, giving its employees an opportunity to explain the services it provides to its long list of clients to the event participants. It also is an event that creates connections, DeSantis said. On the Jingle Bell Walk, Run, and Wheel route, participants are able to complete the challenge with some of the clients Community Living supports. Community Living Essex County is also thankful to its volunteers, and it could always use a few extra hands. Anyone
interested in helping out with the Jingle Bell Run next year is encouraged to call the office at 7766483.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
- Decorations I recall one year I had noticed Christmas decorations went up right after Halloween. I was amazed that anyone wanted to start that idea so soon. Now it is the same in the stores; as they take down Halloween leftovers they put Christmas things on the shelves in their place. Already I see the festive celebratory decorations. I read someone’s thought about it being disrespectful of veterans to display Christmas greenery before Remembrance Day. I hadn’t thought that, but what is the hurry anyway? It used to be around the 10th of December when I put up my Christmas decorations and that remains about the same for me. It is such a happy season for so many that I suppose they want to enjoy it longer by having it there earlier and it must be a lot of work to string lights everywhere for only a few days. I don’t string lights either. That suggests I don’t have the necessary happy spirit. Maybe not. What I like is one candle in every window. There is a home locally that is decorated that way so I copied it. It is a pleasant experience to drive around to see the home decorating that is done by so many. Should I think about polluting the atmosphere when I do that?

by Jennifer Cranston Santa’s Cause for Kids is launching its 13th annual toy drive. Throughout the municipality there are sites where people can drop off new, un-wrapped toys for children in need this holiday season. Santa’s Cause for Kids is a town-wide toy drive, spearheaded by Const. Joe Meloche of the Essex OPP. The OPP and the Essex Fire & Rescue Service support the program. Meloche is also a volunteer firefighter at station #2 in Essex. He is pleased that both organizations participate. “When I started this, I did it because I knew there was a need. We
didn’t have a toy drive to compare to Sparky’s Toy Drive in Windsor and we needed one,” Meloche said. Santa’s Cause is not associated with Sparky’s Toy Drive. The annual toy drive collects new, un-wrapped toys and distributes them to The Salvation Army in Essex, the St. Vincent de Paul in Harrow and McGregor, and Zeta Kappa Sorority’s Santa Sack program. Meloche explained that there are times when other local organizations need a little extra help with their gifting programs, and Santa’s Cause helps them as well when the need arises. Essex Party and

There are many museums within the area that have a lot to offer. And I urge people who have not taken the time visit at least a few of them to do so. A perk of being a reporter is being able to meet with many interesting people, and visit many interesting places that I may not have otherwise have gone to. The area has a rich history, and many museums around the area do well in preserving those tales of long ago. I’m always amazed to learn something new when I get to visit a museum, or when sitting in on a meeting with a special guest speaker at a local historical group meeting. When I was a high school student,
I really loved to learn about ancient history. And that is something I still enjoy researching today. I love to debate the possibilities of what could have been the purpose of the popular Egypt-based Pyramids, for instance, with others. Because, we just don’t know for sure what they were used for, and many have come up with some pretty interesting theories. My love for history did expand into history class when I was a student, but I often found the text book learning to be dull. And I was of the opinion at that time that nothing significant happened here. I could not have been more wrong. The more I get to learn about
local history, the more excited I get. And I hope to one day be able to set aside the time to research my family history. I’m sure there are a few interesting tales just waiting to be plucked from those branches. Preserving history is an important task, and I applaud the groups and museums, especially the volunteers, who dedicate themselves to ensuring those tales and artifacts are well preserved for future generations to learn from.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - In-camera I see more publicity about council having incamera meetings. There was a problem with that when I worked as a reporter and the Windsor Star objected to the idea. I was told by the council of the time that everything that was discussed was brought before an open council meeting, but you can be sure there was little of the discussion then. The subject was put on the floor as a motion and the vote called. Of course, everyone had agreed before the closed meeting ended. Unless the subject is a public figure, such as a staff member or a Councillor, there should be no reason to talk privately about any decision. After all, that is how we know how each one performs when we can read the report of the meeting. If we don’t know each council member according to the way he or she expresses opinions on public issues, we are not prepared to make an informed vote at election time. Of course it is best to attend the meetings, at least now and then, but what we can read in the reports has value, too. I tried to make a good report and I made one Council member, years ago, hate me because he didn’t like everything he had to say that was derogatory being printed in the local paper and sometimes in the Windsor Star. I learned a lot about reporting when I worked for that newspaper and I still think I was very fortunate to have that job. Not only was it interesting, but there were many unusual experiences that went with it.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year But it can also be the most dangerous due to home fires. submitted to EFP The holiday season is approaching quickly, and with it typically comes many positive thoughts and memories. But unfortunately, the holiday season is also a time where preventable residential fires are on the rise. November 24 – 30 is National Home Fire Safety Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding all Canadians that fire safety should be especially paramount in their minds as part of their holiday planning. During the holiday season, the fireplace in a home is not only a source of warmth but also a centrepiece for gatherings with family and friends. Like any home appliance, it should be safe, properly maintained, and good for the environment – inside and out. Ensure the area around the fireplace is free of debris. Debris like holiday decorations and
wrapping paper can cause a fire if they are too close to the fireplace. Fire is often a central element of holiday celebrations, specifically surrounding fireplaces and candles. Open flames can be the catalyst to many problems if not tended to properly. Watch for the following steps you can take to keep celebratory flames from turning on you: • Do not leave open flames, including candles and fireplaces, unattended or smouldering. • Use a screen in front of your fireplace to avoid having sparks or embers flying your way. • Do not burn wrapping paper in the fireplace. Because of the way it is treated, it burns quickly and intensely which could result in a flash fire. • Keep candles away from flammable items such as curtains and trees, and ensure your candles
Countryside Upholstery
stay on a stable, level surface. • Where possible, use battery-powered candles to avoid the risk of an open flame entirely. Cooking often accompanies the holiday season as families prepare special meals to mark the occasion. Be sure never to leave your cooking unattended, though, as this is the leading cause of kitchen fires. Use a timer to act as a reminder that the oven is on. Should fire catch, never turn on the overhead fan — it could spread the flames. Immediately call the fire department and leave your home if the fire can’t be put out quickly. Ensure that your home is safe from fire this holiday season by following these tips: • If you’re buying a
real Christmas tree, be cautioned that dry trees are a fire hazard. Check that the tree is fresh by tapping it on the ground — if needles fall, it’s an indicator that the tree is too dry. • For artificial trees, make sure yours is marked as ‘fire-resistant’ and bears the Canadian Standards Association label. • Trees, artificial or real, should be kept away from heat sources including heat registers, fireplaces and floor heaters. • Metallic tree decorations should be avoided as well, since they could make contact with defective light wiring and become a shock hazard. • When leaving your home - even for a short period of time - be sure to unplug lights.

by Sylene Argent The grade eight students at Holy Name Catholic Elementary School, along with their younger school-peers from the grade five and six classes, rolled up their sleeves to help add 49 trees to the school playground area on Friday afternoon through a legacy planting project. This was able to take part because of a Detroit Watershed grant the school was able to get with help from the Essex Region Conservation Authority. Originally, it was the grade eight students who were to help plant these trees, but the grade five and six students were later invited to help as they will be the ones to take over the stewardship of the trees once the senior elementary school students have moved on to high school.

Holy Name students add trees Essex warns residents about to playground... door-to-door canvassers
Kostanjevec said, is step one of many phases that will help the school create an outdoor learning environment, that will eventually include an outdoor classroom. “Thirty years from now, the students will come back and know they were a part of something important,” he said. Kostanjevec added that this group of enthusiastic students was excited to get involved in helping to plant the trees. Principal Tina Tuer said the students do study the environment as part of their curriculum, and some of the students, depending on their grade, get to study watershed specifically. So, it is neat for them to get this type of hands-on learning, which helps the students become better-rounded in their studies. Getting the students out there, helping each other dig the holes, water the trees, and move mulch, helps the students to learn to take care of on another, she added.

submitted to EFP The Town of Essex is warning residents to be wary of door-to-door canvassers seeking to sell water filtration systems and/or water testing services. Several residents have reported being approached at the door of their homes by individuals who suggest that the Town may be having problems with its water supply or that the Town’s water supply does not meet the appropriate water quality standards. Residents of other municipalities, notably the Town of Tecumseh, have reported similar experiences. These individuals and the companies they appear to work for do NOT represent the Town of Essex. The Town of Essex is not having problems with its water supply. Our water is continuously tested to the standards and guidelines set out by the Ministry of Environment
and Climate Change. The Town of Essex is committed to providing safe drinking water to its customers. This commitment is confirmed in our Drinking Water Quality Management System Policy, Commitment and Endorsement, available online at http://www. essex.ca/en/live/water. asp. Two water treatment plants service the water needs of Essex residents. The Ontario Clean Water Agency operates both plants under contract with the Town of Essex. The Town’s water distribution system spans 290 kilometres of water mains and serves about
7,100 residential and commercial customers. Should you have any questions about water quality, please contact Environmental Services at 519-738-6804. The OPP is advising residents to use caution when letting strangers into your home or providing financial information.

Essex Raiders helping Maforeka Raiders
EDHS Business Leadership students invite the community to help support the Maforeka Raiders by attending the annual pasta dinner on November 16.
by Jennifer Cranston The Essex Red Raiders are once again putting the call out to the community to join in their pasta dinner on Monday, November 16 at the Essex
Legion from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. to support the school that Essex built. The project began in earnest in January 2010, when Essex District High School and its feeder
schools entered into an agreement with the organization Schools For Salone. Having been devastated by civil war, Sierra Leone had no schools left. Led by retired teacher John Garinger, the project to build a school was an effort, not only to help youth overseas, but to help the fortunate students of Essex understand the hardships of others. The plan was to raise around $40,000 and have a school in Maforeka built by November of that year. Essex raised the money so quickly that The Red Raider Learning Centre was finished by July 2010. Building the school wasn’t the end of the mission. Students in Essex continue to support the African school each year, raising about $3,000 to $4,000 to keep the school supplied and running. Since the outbreak of Ebola in the region, the school was closed and classes took place over two-way radios supplied by Essex. Rather than books and pencils, students here sent rice and sanitation kits with instructions on how to protect themselves from the disease. None of the Maforeka Raiders or their families has contracted the deadly disease. The Red Raider Learning Centre is up and running again now that
the Ebola crisis is over. Carly Davis is a member of the Business Leadership class that is running this year’s dinner. “I think it’s really great for our school, that is so fortunate, to help out another school that has so much poverty,” she said. She explained that she and her classmates are learning a lot about living conditions and circumstances in other parts of the world. Jennifer Maurina teaches this year’s Business Leadership class. She explained that the African school is doing even better with the addition of new, clean latrines that were recently added. The annual pasta dinner is the main fundraiser for the Red Raider Learning Centre. Tickets are available at the door.

event. Concussions are considered a brain injury. And they can occur as a result from a direct hit to the head, or even an indirect hit, such as whiplash. There can be a danger if a concussion goes untreated, she noted. There are many signs and symptoms that can signify a concussion may be occurring, such as confusion, headaches, dizziness, or being offbalance. One of the special guest speakers at the event came from the Tecumseh Shoreline Minor Hockey Association, who noted the organization just recently passed its own concussion policy, which took quite a bit of time for the organization to put together. McLachlan said there was a component of the evening that updated the audience on the school concussion policy, which can help teachers know what to do if a student is suspected of having a concussion, and to know when it is ok for that student to resume play. A great website to look at for more information about concussions, and many other healthrelated issues, is www. p arach u t ecan ad a.o rg , McLachlan said. She urges anyone wanting more information on this to log onto this website to learn more. Representatives from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit and Windsor Regional Hospital were also onsite, handing out information about concussions and literature equipped with guidelines on how to incorporate a concussion management policy that
organizations or groups could use. The event spoke of how to take action if a concussion is suspected, such as when to seek medical treatment. It was also noted that parents should keep an eye on their child that may be exhibiting signs
of having a concussion as sometimes they may indicate they feel fine so they are not taken out of play. For more information about the Brain Injury Association of Windsor/ Essex County, log onto www.biawe.com.

Celebrate National Sports Day in Canada Friday, November 20 is National Jersey Day in Essex!
submitted to EFP Wear a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work, or play on Friday, November 20 to show your love and support for sport. The Town of Essex is once again rallying support for RBC Sports Day in Canada (Saturday, November 21) by encouraging residents to participate in a visible way. “Wearing your favourite team jersey on National Jersey Day is a great way to show your support for sport and active living in Essex,” says Doug Sweet, Director of Community Services said. “Essex is well known for its success in sports and has a well-developed network of sport and recreation organizations
that support the community by offering excellent programs. National Jersey Day and National Sports Day give us an opportunity to recognize the importance of sport in our everyday lives.” A number of local schools will be participating and promoting National Jersey Day one day early – on Thursday, November 19 – because Friday is a PA Day. The Town is also inviting everyone to celebrate Sports Day in Canada by attending free programs being offered at the Essex Recreation Complex (242 Talbot Street North) from 2:30 to 4:00pm on Saturday, November 21. No registration required.
Activities at the pool will include a free Family Swim and a Swim to Survive Challenge. Gym activities will include soccer, dodgeball, floor hockey and more. Adults can also try our Yoga program. Wear a sports jersey to one of our recreational or family swims on Friday, November 20 and be entered in a draw to win a great prize! Sports Day in Canada is presented by ParticipACTION, CBC and True Sport. It is a national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high performance, and is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport, build community and national spirit, and facilitate healthy, active living.

Kingsville Museum offers a chance to learn about the past
Pictured above at one of the displays at the Kingsville Historical Park Museum is Curator Kevin Fox. Fox, who was hired on this summer, is enthusiastic about working along with the dedictated volunteers that continue to contribute to the success of the museum.
Though the Museum has many badges, medals, uniforms, and artifacts like radios and water canisters on display, and it is important for the Museum’s representatives to preserve these artifacts for future generations to learn from, it is the stories of veterans that the Museum holds most dear. “It’s the stories of veterans we want to preserve because memories are fleeting things, and [if preserved] we can pass them on to the next generation,” Fox said. There are around 700 files available on soldiers and those who have served, and the Museum has some snippets available that read of the bravery of these local
by Sylene Argent The Kingsville Historical Park Museum, located behind the Kingsville Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, is a treasure trove that houses not only artifacts of Canada’s military history, but also stories of locals who have served their country in past wars. And with Remembrance Day being held this week, it is a good reason to check out the displays offered as there are plenty of stories that can be learned from within the Museum’s walls. The artifacts at the museum are rotated every so often to give visitors something new to see. The Museum also often gets new items to display. One new to the Museum item visitors can see is a WWI German MG 08 light
machine gun, Museum Curator Kevin Fox said. It also has several displays showcasing uniforms from various wars. One display showcased flight helmets, suits, and glove of Kingsville airmen who had served.
veterans. “We try to pass along stories not to glorify war, but to teach how horrible war can be,” he said. Many people visit the Museum for different reasons. School groups or clubs go to the Museum to learn about the past, and others head in to learn about family members who have served in wars of the past. Veterans have also visited the Museum to see the artifacts on display and maybe a share a bit about their experience. The Museum has displays that represent many different wars, including Afghanistan, WWI, WWII, The Korean War, and The Boer War. It also has a display Continued on Page 12

Kingsville Museum...
Essex United Church helps feed the community
Continued from Page 11
by Jennifer Cranston At a recent fundraising event, members of Essex United Church bused tables at A-1 Chinese Restaurant to raise money for local charities. They raised almost $800 and distributed it amongst the Essex Area Food Bank, the Salvation Army Food Bank, and the Downtown Mission’s 6 O’clock Soup program. Pictured are: Essex United Church Outreach Team cochairperson Holly Boyle, Major Sam Roberts of the Salvation Army, Ron Dunn of the Downtown Mission, Essex Area Food Bank representative Gerry Belanger, and Rev. Jim Hatt of Essex United Church.
dedicated to the Fenian Raids of 18661870. He said Kingsville built a militia to fend off the raiders. With this year being the 100th anniversary of “In Flanders Fields,” Fox said many of the Museum’s visitors have been focused on WWI. The Museum is also trying to reach out to Korean War veterans, a war he said that is often dubbed a forgotten war. Those veterans, he said, are just as brave as those of other wars, so the Museum made a special effort to meet with those veterans. The Museum has been around since the late 1980s. He said the Museum is always thrilled to be selected to preserve artifacts that residents forward. That longevity notes the Museum “is not just a flash in the pan. It’s a safe place to preserve memories,” Fox said. He hopes to be able to expand the Museum in the future to be able to put more on display. Fox was hired as the Museum curator in August. He studied philosophy and history post-secondary, and has a master’s degree in library science. He also has served in the reserves. He said he is enjoying working at the Museum, which is a complete gem because of the dedication of volunteers.

Pizza for Polio results As a result of community partnership in hosting the Pizza for Polio event on Friday, October 23, the Rotary Club of Essex was able to collect just over $1500 towards the fight to eradicate Polio from the world. The Rotary Club partnered with six local pizzerias and Essex District High School to raise these funds. That is enough to vaccinate 2500 children. This could become the second disease to be completely wiped off

OBITUARIES
THOMAS ARTHUR PLANT - Passed away peacefully on the morning of November 7, 2015 at 94. He will be remembered with love and affection by his bride of 68 years, Dorcas, their three children David (Patricia Brownridge), Nan (David Grant) and Jane (Grant Robinson) and their grandchildren Tristan, Miranda (Todd), Titania (Jason), James, Amanda (Sam), Colin and Scott. Born in 1921 in Essex, Ont., Tom lived a full life, making homes in cities across the country, including Vancouver, Toronto and Kitchener. A graduate of Western University and Osgoode Law School at the University of Toronto, Tom had a long career working as a lawyer for Manulife. He volunteered with many community organizations such as Kiwanis, the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, and his church, St. John the Evangelist, in Kitchener. He served in World War II, as an officer on the corvette Pictou, and aboard the landing craft that carried Canadian and British troops to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. For his efforts he was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. An eternally humble man, Tom would don his medals only once a year on November 11, where he remembered with pride his friends and classmates who died, during a ceremony at his church in Kitchener. For that reason it only seems appropriate that he should pass away during this time of remembrance. In retirement, Tom spent as much time with family as possible, often at Sunset Cottage on the shores of Lake Huron at Bruce Beach. There he shared his wit, warmth and intellect—not to mention his competitive spirit— playing golf, taking early morning dips and manning his post as first mate to Dorcas. Thank you to both the staff and volunteers at Innisfree House and Clair Hills, who were so compassionate in their care for Tom and his family. The family will celebrate Tom’s life Friday, November 13 at 2 p.m. at St. John the Evangelist in Kitchener. A visitation will be held at the church on Thursday evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Donations can be made in his memory to St. John the Evangelist (23 Water St. N., Kitchener, N2H 5A4) and Innisfree House (2375 Homer Watson Blvd., Kitchener, N2P 0E9).

submitted to EFP The Essex Region Conservation Authority, along with Ontario’s 35 additional Conservation Authorities, is pleased to see final assent of the Invasive Species Act, which is designed to address the urgent and growing problem of invasive species in Ontario. “Invasive species such as Phragmites and Asian carp threaten our local watersheds and create significant costs to industries which rely on our Great Lakes,” said Richard Wyma, ERCA’s General Manager. “In our region, we have more rare and endangered

species than anywhere else in Canada, and the importance of protecting our biodiversity cannot be overstated.” ERCA, like all Conservation Authorities, works with the Province and other partners in many programs to address the threat of invasive species through a variety of means, including monitoring, integrated watershed management, habitat restoration and community outreach and engagement. “We congratulate the Province for its work in developing this unique piece of legislation,” added Kim Gavine, General Manager of Conservation Ontario, the association which represents Conservation Authorities. “We can continue to support the Province’s objectives around invasive species through existing Conservation Authority watershed management activities such as stewardship and
watershed monitoring and look forward to any future collaborations that may be suggested.” Earlier this year, ERCA’s Board of Directors called on the Province to consider a province-wide strategy to address Phragmites. ERCA is presently working to develop a pilot program to control this invasive species at Hillman Marsh Conservation Area.

OPP ask.... Winter is coming... Are you ready?
submitted to EFP The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) West Region TrafÞc and Marine Unit is asking all motorists to ensure their vehicles are ready for winter conditions
and begin to think about changing driving habits. OPP encourage all motorists to ensure their vehicles are fully prepared to meet the challenges winter driving brings. The checklist should include; ¥ Ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound and running well. ¥ Ensure your fuel tank is always above ½ full. ¥ Check to make sure your exhaust is free of holes or leaks. ¥ Replace your windshield wipers and put winter washer ßuid in the reservoir. ¥ Put on winter tires for added traction and stopping ability. ¥ Ensure the vehiclÕes defrost and interior heaters are working properly. ¥ Check all running lights to ensure you can see and be seen. There is no magic to winter driving. The number one cause of motor vehicle collisions during snowy conditions is speeding too fast for road and weather conditions. ÒWhen you see snow-go slow!Ó Ð Sgt. D. Rektor. Police also encourage motorists have the following items in their vehicle should they become stranded; ¥ A fully charged cell phone. ¥ A call police sign. ¥ A fully charged ßashlight. ¥ A battery operated radio. ¥ A warm blanket. ¥ A tin can and a candle to aid in keeping warm. ¥ Extra pair of winter boots, hat, gloves, hand/foot warmers. ¥ Bottled water/juice ¥ Snack/nutrition bars. These items will help you to survive winter conditions and to stay calm should you be stranded in a snow storm. Driving in winter conditions can be dangerous and frightening. Driving during periods of heavy snow or whiteout conditions is not recommended. OPP offer the following tips in relation to winter driving; ¥ Always check with your local media outlet, Environment Canada or the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) before venturing out onto the roadways. If you discover that a snow storm is imminent, modify your driving times to reßect the best driving conditions. ¥ Reducing your speed during snow events can improve your stopping distance and help to navigate where you are going. ¥ If you have to stop for any reason, activate your hazard lights and ensure you are well off the traveled portion of the roadway. Whenever possible, pull into a driveway or parking lot rather than remaining on the shoulder of the roadway. ¥ If you have to get out of your vehicle, ensure there are no other

cars approaching and do so in safety. The safest place to be is inside your vehicle. ¥ If you end up stuck in a ditch and need to keep the motor running, ensure that your exhaust is clear of snow. This will prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. ¥ When using the engine, or a lit candle to heat your vehicle, ensure a couple of your windows are down about one inch to allow CO2 to escape the vehicle and allow fresh air to enter. ¥ Tell someone your route and when they can expect you to return. Call them if you are going to be late. Finally, please DO NOT call the Provincial Communications Centre (PCC) (Dispatch) for road and weather conditions. Police will not provide this information. Calling the PCC ties up phone lines that others depend on for emergency situations. ÒEnsuring your vehicle is in top condition and slowing down will reduce the number of collisions which result in injury and death on our roadways.Ó says Essex County OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Glenn Miller said.

Grant Quinlan is tearing up the track by Fred Groves When he was fiveyears-old, Grant Quinlan jumped in behind the steering wheel of a 5-hp go-kart and began to race. Just a short 11 years later, the Maidstone teenager was piloting 700-h.p. Nascar-style race cars on some of the fastest and best known tracks in
North America. Even before he decided to go to the bigger and faster cars, Quinlan was a 26-time National WKA Go-Kart Champion. “We started racing around the track in Leamington and decided to try some regional races when I was seven and eight. When I was nine we
started going to the States and we never came back,” Quinlan, who will turn 17 next month, said. While his accomplishments on the go-kart track were impressive, and so were the wins he picked up in the Legends class, which is a smaller race car that he was in when he was

12, Quinlan is quickly becoming a sought after commodity as a NasCar driver. Earlier last month he and his father Todd traveled to Indianapolis where he finished fourth out of a 38-car field. His points in the 44th Winchester 400 resulted in Quinlan becoming the youngest ever ARCA/ CRA Super Series
Champion and Rookie-ofthe-Year. The half-mile track is the fastest half-mile high bank in the world and it did not intimidate the young driver who will soon be moving up to the full-sized Nascar car. Once he started winning races, Grant caught the eyes of a couple of racing teams and each track he gets on, it’s another leg up
in the racing circuit. “It’s different at each track. You gain by experience. The more races you do, the more you learn.” His #28 International Tool and Mold/Chevrolet has 700-h.p under the hood and reaches speeds of over 175 mph. Next up will be a car that has about 850-h.p, his #30 Nascar

Grant Quinlan is tearing up the track... K&N Pro Series car. “It’s fun, you don’t think you are going that fast until you hit something,” Quinlan said. Yes he has bounced off the wall a few times, however, both he and his father said racing is a safe sport and a lot of precautions are taken. “There is a lot of safety equipment. He had accidents on the go-karts [and] he broke his collar bone,” Todd said. Grant Quinlan is a very mature teenager who had his Nascar driving certificate before he had an Ontario driver’s licence. And while he enjoys driving, he is very curious at what is actually under the hood. “You have to know motors and you have to be able to call on the radio and tell them what the car is doing,” Todd said.
Continued from Page 18
Quinlan is a Grade 12 student at Essex District High School and he hopes to make racing a full-time job. Already the pay cheques are rolling in and it looks like more are on the way. “I want to do this forever if I can make an occupation out of it.” After 22 straight weeks where he and his dad traveled to some of the best known tracks in North America, they are going to take a bit of a break. “We will go down south and run a couple of races in Florida,” Quinlan said. Besides Quinlan and his father, there are a couple of younger siblings who are following in their big brother’s tire tracks. Tommy, who is 12 and ready to move up to the Legends cars, and 10-year old Calvin have both won their classes at the Leamington go-kart track.
Open house introduces Tai Chi by Sylene Argent Interested individuals were able to take part in a public open house at St. Paul’s Anglican Church last Thursday evening to see what Taoist Tai Chi is all about, and learn of the benefits this form of exercise is said to be able to provide. Instructor Mike Kempster introduced the group of beginners during the open house to the exercise. He said he enjoys every aspect Taoist Tai Chi provides him. He also enjoys teaching those new to Tai Chi the art form. He has been doing Tai Chi for a decade. “The open house is to get people familiar with Tai Chi,” he said, adding the event attendees were also able to get to learn about the health benefits it can provide, which he said could include improving circulation and balance. “It is a really good way to exercise,” Kempster said. He was happy with the event turnout. Another benefit of doing Tai Chi, he said, is the comradery of those who also enjoy this form of exercise. He explained in the beginners’ class, those
new to this form of exercise are introduced to the 108 movements involved with Tai Chi. He said there are experts out there who say that when these movements are done
properly with experience and guidance from accredited instructors, every tendon on the body has been stretched. For more information, log onto www.taoist.org.

Red Raiders advance to play Herman Windsor-built 1949 Ford pickup on Vancouver Island
Fraser Kayeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1949 Ford F-47 pickup truck like new again
Fraser Kaye of Saanich, B.C., is the proud owner of a fully restored 1949 Ford F-47 pickup truck built in Windsor, Ontario. It was sold new to a school board in a small town near Nelson, B.C., as a maintenance truck. Around 1974-75, a man bought it with the intention of restoring it. Then he passed it on to his son, who intended to restore it. The son sold the truck to a friend of Fraser and by now it was painted white with a brush. The truck was still driveable and complete when Fraser saw his friend driving it around in 1992. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Fraser, an auto mechanic by trade, bought it and treated it to a total frame-off restoration in his shop, including a complete rebuild of the 239 cubic inch flathead V8 engine and drive train. He had no trouble getting parts because he knew everyone he needed to contact, having been in the hobby for years and having assisted with hundreds of other restorations before doing one of his own. All the work was finished by 2013 when Fraser put the truck back on the road. It has now been driven nearly 1000 miles as a brand new truck. The white paint applied with a brush is now long gone and replaced with a sparkling red finish. The truck has no radio (an option) but does have a heater. The single windshield wiper is vacuum-powered off the engine. When the truck was new, it had only one taillight. Fraser has added a second taillight for safety. The front bumper had been broken and welded at least six times during the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier history. It was originally painted black and both bumpers are now stainless. Almost identical to Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1949 truck was the new 1948 Ford truck, the first new postwar vehicle from the Ford Motor Company. Gone was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;waterfallâ&#x20AC;? grille and two-piece windshield of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;47s, now replaced with a modern looking grille with horizontal bars and recessed headlights as part of the grille design. The large one-piece windshield gave excellent visibility and the spare tire was now under the pickup bed. The new, all-steel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Million Dollarâ&#x20AC;? cab was longer, wider, and higher than before and featured as standard equipment a sun visor, ash tray, glove compartment, and adjustable seat. Level-Action cab suspension insulated the cab from frame weave, vibration, and noise. The instrument panel included a speedometer, temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and electrical charge indicator.

that the team’s offense is in full swing. Essex played against the Blenheim Blades Nov. 3, the Dresden Jr. Kings on Nov. 6., and the team closed out against the Wheatley Omstead Sharks on Nov. 9. Against the Blades on Nov. 3 it was a battle of the top special teams. The Blades entered the contest with the best power play at 27.9 percent, while Essex held the best penalty kill at 91.9 percent and special teams would play a major role in the game, with three goals coming off them, in Essex’s 5-1 win. The 73’s began with three goals in the opening frame coming from three different sticks. William Stadder opened the scoring when he beat goalie Eric Stewardson shorthanded. Phil Janikowski scored a power play tally with three minutes remaining, while Alixe Saliba scored 90 seconds later off a rebound and ended Stewardson’s night in favor of replacement Klinton Kenney. The teams would
exchange goals in the middle frame, as Essex entered the third period with a 4-1 lead and a 2322 shots advantage. In the third, the Blades got themselves into penalty trouble and gave Essex four, five-onthree advantages. Essex capitalized on the last as Janikowski added his second of the night to cushion Essex’s lead as the 73’s won 5-1. Friday night began the same, but was a different contest.

The Jr. Kings were resilient in their efforts as they stormed two goals in the opening eight minutes to cut the deficit to one as they beat goalie Matthew Badour. The 73’s, however, were not going to let the game get that close. In the closing eight minutes, they added two goals of their own coming from Eric Shaw and Brett Vorshuk. Essex headed into the final

Essex would go on to score three more times as Essex doubled up Dresden 8-4. Janikowski said, “The team is starting to buy into the system, some of the veterans are starting to step up after struggling a bit early on, and the rookies are starting to catch on as well. As long as we show up to play each night we should be fine, but, we can’t take any nights off as Alvinston showed us what happens when you do.” The 73’s closed out the week Nov. 9 against the Omstead Wheatley Sharks.
