by Sylene Argent Nearly 600 area residents may have made Santa’s nice list on Sunday as a slew of participants, wearing sleigh bells and holiday attire, laced up their favourite pair of sneakers
to participate in the 19th annual Ken Knapp Ford Jingle Bell Walk, Run, and Wheel. Every year, the Jingle Bell Run helps ring in the holiday season while supporting Community Living Essex
County. Event participants completed either a 5km or 10km trek through Essex Centre in cool weather on Sunday. They also collected pledges leading up to the event.
The Jingle Bell Run is a major fundraiser for Community Living Essex County (CLEC). It helps the local organization fund programs and services for around 600 local clients with intellectual disabilities. of CLEC’s Manager Community Relations, Tony DeSantis, was thrilled with this year’s event turnout. He thanked the long list of volunteers who offered up their time to help organize the traditional event, and those who participated. He also thanked Bob Blair, who has chaired the Jingle Bell Run since its beginning, and Ken Knapp Ford for hosting the annual Holiday themed event. DeSantis said that not all funding from the Provincial Government can cover the costs the organization needs to put forth to keep its services available for its clients. He said the hope was for the 2013 Jingle Bell Run to raise over $12,000. Last year’s event raised $14,000, plus an additional $6,000 forwarded from Ken Knapp Ford who was able to host a “Drive One for Your Community” event, which also benefited CLEC. DeSantis was thrilled to see a few local schools form teams to participate as well. “I was happy they came out,” he said, also adding thanks to Essex Fire & Rescue, the Town of Essex, and the OPP for supporting the event and helping keep

Director of Community Services Doug Sweet
Connie Gosselin has been serving as Manager Human Resources since Sept. 2012. She explains her job as being a resource to Council, management and employees. She says she has done a lot of hiring since she began as well. She has participated in the recruitment and hiring of the new CAO, a landscape technician, the new Director of Community Services and Geographic Information Systems Technician. She has also helped with the hiring of summer students, occasional staff and even volunteer fire fighters. Before the Town had Gosselin, each department handled all of its own hiring and all of the paperwork that goes with it as well as the subsequent labour relations. The entire system is more streamlined now with Gosselin handling all of the paperwork and details. Department heads still participate in interviews, as the employees will eventually work for them. They have the assistance of a human resources expert now. “Managers know the technical skills they need from an employee, but I know the soft skills that are needed,” she explained. She explained that she has interviewed hundreds of people and that gives her a very specific set of skills. “There is a skill in getting the answers you need from an interviewee,” she said. “You need to find personality and character to see if they will fit with the culture within the organization. Fit is very important.”
Director of Infrastructure & Development Chris Nepszy
She explains that it is important to get the bestqualified person for the position. Part of the streamlining process is ensuring that all applicants are approached in the same way. She says she really enjoys her job and is especially excited to be on the ground floor of the department. “Because there has been no H.R. Person before, I’ve been able to build things from the ground up,” she says. “That’s really exciting.” She says that council and management has been instrumental in helping her develop policies and procedures that work really well for Essex. Her role is a supporting one, she says. She supports the managers in building a happy and stable workforce that allows the town to provide services in a consistent manner. She says that she has never worked for an organization where all of the staff has the passion that Essex employees

have. Another great part of her job, she explains, is that she is handling every part of human resources. She has 13 years experience in the field and has done every aspect of the job, but never all at once before. She was always part of a larger team. Sometimes she had a staff to delegate to and sometimes she was working under another manager. She began her H.R. career at Windsor Regional Hospital in 2000. Then she went to Enwin Utilities where she worked her way from recruitment to director in five years. From there she went to the Casino in Windsor
and then to Essex. She says the people she has worked with in her past were instrumental in her success today. “I’ve been so fortunate in my career to have really good mentors,” she said. “I also had many learning opportunities.” Since she started with the town, CAO Russ Philips has been hired, Director Community Services Doug Sweet has been hired and 15 volunteer fire fighters have been recruited. “I got to have a hand in that,” she said. “And those people are on the front lines making a real difference for this town.”

by Sylene Argent church bells As rang the eleventh hour on Monday, the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) hosted a wellattended Remembrance Day celebration at the Memorial Park. For a few hours classes from area schools put down their pens, some local businesses locked their doors, and community members put a pause on their to-do lists to join the Essex Legion in honouring our veterans, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting for the freedom Canadians enjoy, and those still serving our country. The ceremony began with a parade from the Essex Legion to the Essex United Church, where the community participated in a short service that paid tribute to fallen service men and women and all who served. The ceremonies continued at the Memorial Park where many area residents gathered to see the wreaths laid at the cenotaph, including wreaths that were laid specifically in remembrance of a local resident who served Canada. “At the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, time

stands still for a moment and we remember those who died not for war, but for a world that would be free and at peace,” Essex Legion Branch President Craig Chartier said during the outdoor portion of the ceremony. Chartier was pleased with the many students attending the ceremony. Keeping youth engaged and realizing the importance of Remembrance Day is crucial in helping remember the sacrifices made to help ensure peace and freedom on Canadian soil. Three years ago, Chartier explained, the last known World War I veteran, John Babcock, died at the age of 109. “With his passing, some have argued the inspiration for Remembrance Day has lost some of its inspiration, but the Legion’s mission to perpetuate remembrance on November 11 has never wavered. It has not wavered because Remembrance Day is a day the Legion, in a great formation, remembers all Canada’s fallen in all wars, because the fallen or injured of yesteryear are just as relevant and significant as the losses of today.” He continued that “More than 110,000 Canadians have selflessly paid the
ultimate sacrifice in the service of our county. And all are just as worthy of our gratitude,” Chartier said. In any war or peacekeeping missions Canadians have taken part in, “Canada’s military survivors may take comfort in our effort to remember, and not to fear their sacrifice will ever be in vain.” The Reverend Kim Gilliland provided the community prayer at the cenotaph. He prayed to give thanks for what Canadians have. Referring to the service men
and woman who have protected Canadians, he said, “All of our gratitude is not enough to thank them.” Through the Poppy Campaign, Chartier noted, around $14 million annually is given back to veterans in need who may not have the financial ability to maintain a minimum quality of life. “By wearing the poppy, our veterans will see their efforts and sacrifice are not in vain. In other words, they will know we will remember them,” Chartier said.

He went on to attend Essex District High School. “He was happy and outgoing,” his mother said. Steven was also a member of Alateen where Lewsaw said her son motivated, sponsored, and guided other teenagers. Sadly, on June 29, 1990, Steven died in a car accident on Arner Townline. To help cope with the loss and to honour her son, Lewsaw wrote a book called “Loving, Losing, and Learning” which focused on the grieving experience.

participants safe. A few local businesses were also generous as fruit, pizza, and water were donated for the participants to enjoy. This year’s Jingle Bell Run was held a bit earlier in November than it has been in the past. DeSantis said this change occurred in hopes of holding the event in nicer weather. It will likely be held around the same time again next year. After completing the 5-10km trek through Essex Centre, Jingle Bell Run participants could purchase baked goods local Essex District High School students prepared with the help of their families. Emma Teskey, Hailey Neels, Laura Fuerth, and Hannah Pittao of the EDHS leadership class organized the baked sale to raise funds to build Redemption School in Africa. This is the second African-based school project the local high school is undertaking. The leadership students are hoping this project proves as successful as the Maforeka project undertaken a few years ago. That project, the students said, gave that village hope.

Credit Union merger moves forward
(Left to Right) Libro Financial Group’s President & CEO Stephen Bolton and Board Chair Rick Joyal, unveil the name and logo of the new Libro Credit Union, alongside United Communities Credit Union’s Board Chair Dennis Hogan and President & CEO Jim Lynn. The ice sculpture was unveiled after member-owners approved the amalgamation of the two credit unions during Special General Meetings that took place on November 4, 5, and 6.
by Jennifer Cranston The Boards of Directors of Libro Financial Group and United Communities Credit Union announced Nov. 7 that memberowners have approved the amalgamation of the two credit unions. The new organization, Libro Credit Union, will begin operating with a combined management and staff on January 1, 2014. The new merged credit union will become the second largest credit union in Ontario and will operate
27 branches, employ 556 staff in 21 communities across southwestern Ontario, and serve more than 95,000 memberowners. The operation’s head office will be in London, Steven Bolton President and CEO of Libro Financial Group will step in as President and CEO of the new Libro Credit Union.

market research it was discovered that the United Communities brand and logo had very low recognition even among its own members. Libro on the other hand was highly recognizable throughout the region, which is why they chose to stick with that name. “United Communities Credit Union members approved the merger and the changes with a vote in excess of 98 per cent,” said Bolton. He says that initially there was some concern over the appearance of these decisions, but the market research and the overwhelming member approval eased those concerns. While Jim Lynn President and CEO of United Communities
Credit Union will be retiring on December 31, 2013 as previously scheduled, he will continue to provide advice and support for the first several months of 2014. “I’m extremely pleased that our member-owners have recognized the potential of this new credit union,” said Rick Joyal, Board Chair at Libro Financial Group. “By combining our resources we will be able to accomplish more than either credit union could on its own.” Dennis Hogan is Board Chair at United Communities Credit Union. “Our cultures are very similar and this has been one of the critical elements that has reassured us the merger will succeed,” he said. Management explained that as a combined organization, the new credit union will have greater capacity and resources to invest in competitive products, new services and innovative ways to deliver great banking, while still remaining focused on communities and service excellence. “Southwestern Ontario is its own economy and the businesses and farm operations that drive it live here. Now we have an opportunity to provide this region with a worldclass financial institution,”
said Bolton. “We are a financial institution based in southwestern Ontario, whose profits stay in southwestern Ontario.” The new credit union will align products and services, in preparation for a full banking system conversion within 12-18 months. “As a credit union, our staff, member-owners, and
communities are at the centre of everything we do, so maintaining strong member-owner service will be our top priority throughout the transition,” said Bolton. “We will provide clear advance communication, and will ensure we give our member-owners choice.”

November 11 is supposed to be a day of remembrance, a day when we remember and honour our veterans and service personnel. So far, we have done a pretty good job at ensuring that the significance of the day is not lost. However, that may change as time passes. While we do have good attendance at cenotaphs and memorials, including here in Essex, the buzz of activity in Ontario continues. The day is not a holiday. While heads are bowed at the Remembrance Day service and two minutes of silence are observed, jack hammers and construction equipment clatters in the background. Cars and trucks rumble by. The banks might be closed as well as federal offices, such as the post office, but commerce and business click right along as always. Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in six of the country’s provinces and all of the territories.
Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Ontario are the exceptions. Many argue that making Remembrance Day a holiday would take away its significance, as people would just view it as a day off and nothing more. Children would no longer participate in Remembrance Day activities because they wouldn’t be at school. There might be some currency in that, but I doubt it. Remembrance Day is still honoured in the majority of Canada’s provinces and its territories. People still attend Remembrance Day services in the towns and cities in those places. Memorial Day is a big occasion in the U.S. It is also an official holiday. And, trust me, U.S. citizens know exactly why they have a long weekend in May. They know it’s about remembering the men and women who died serving their country. And Memorial Day has been celebrated in the United States
since shortly after the Civil War (when it was known as Decoration Day). In the U.S. they also have another official holiday called Veteran’s Day. Again, U.S. citizens know what Veteran’s Day is about – to honour the veterans. If our neighbours to the south can have not one but two holidays to honour their service personnel and the sacrifices made by them, then why can’t we manage one without forgetting our veterans? Right now, in Ontario, the onus is on the teachers to take our children to Remembrance Day services. We aren’t taking that responsibility ourselves and many of us have the convenient excuse that we “have to work” to fall back on. The last of our World War I veterans died last year. In the years

Letter to the Editor... On: Removal of Thoracic Surgeries from Windsor I would like to file my complaint against this egregious effort by Cancer Care Ontario to limit Cancer care costs off the backs of Windsor/Essex residents. CCO is a government advisor agency, which means it should have no elective power to remove funding from any region represented by Ontario taxpayers. Where is our Ministry of Health and in particular our
Minister of Health Deb Matthews? I hope the NDP has a plan to put pressure on Premier Wynne and Minister Matthews to reverse CCO’s decision on removing Thoracic surgery for Windsor/Essex. I encourage all recipients to contact our MPP if they feel similarly. Colette McLean Harrow area resident
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Remembering A year has passed since the Legion provided the town with that beautiful cenotaph wall. It does seem strange that more that 65 years passed since the end of World War II before that was created. It must have brought great sense of appreciation to those veterans of that war who are still with us and it is fortunate it was built before all were gone. Of course we have veterans of a later war but I think it was World War II that could have meant domination by the Hitler regime if those who enlisted and endured the agonies had not done so. I still think we should have a mural depicting the supreme efforts of those in the services. Somehow something keeps getting in the way. We thought we had a Trillium grant arranged last March but one word in the application gave the wrong impression to those who make the decision.
Also a difference in statistics about the size of Essex changed the requirements for who could apply. So we have missed three deadlines this year. One thing I have noticed that is gratifying: there is much more awareness of the need to remember. There are far more attending the services at the church and cenotaph on November 11. Also it is no longer a holiday for school children and teachers bring them to the service. When I was a child we did have a little service the day before and the 11th was a holiday and I never understood what it was all about. I do not see it as being a holiday although Canada Post thinks it is. As the years pass, people who never experienced the pain of their country being at war can hardly be expected to really understand what a great debt we owe to those who fought for freedom.

Letter to the Editor...
On: Maidstone Museum Resource Centre Closure Members of our group, the Provincial Marine, an 1812 re-enactment group headquartered in Amherstburg, attended the recent Lakeshore council meeting of October 22 and were absolutely dumbfounded at the discussion regarding the Resource Centre at the Maidstone Museum. Our group regularly participates in events at the Museum and the Resource Center – it would be impossible to operate the Museum without the Center as they are used for different purposes, but each complimenting the other. Certainly, it would be impossible to hold events without kitchen and bathroom facilities that are in the Center. It is true that there would be significant costs in repairing the roof, and there is no question it has to be done, but there will also be significant costs in tearing down the building. It was suggested that an addition could be put on the back of the museum or another building could be erected behind the Museum itself – that would certainly entail

Essex Free Press
The Voice Of Experience much more money than the cost of the roof on the Center. The argument that there is more room needed for a salt shed is ridiculous – that property is not nearly large enough for that purpose in any event – and it is doubtful that more room is even needed at this point. With our climate changing, salt sheds may soon prove to be a thing of the past. And, why would you want an unsightly salt shed right next to such a busy road and it will certainly detract from the picturesque one hundred year old Museum. The Museum has been lovingly restored over the years and contains many interesting and irreplaceable artifacts and antiques – and the hope is that council will not ignore its worth and consider taking it over in time – that would be outrageous. Thankfully, the Provincial Marine operates in a community where council as well as all town departments support its volunteers. Lakeshore council, please reconsider your decision.

by Evelyn Couch -What is so rare? November. I think of it as the worst month of the year. Why? Largely because it is so dreary and it reminds us of the cold days coming. Perhaps a poem I had to learn in grade school has something to do with it. It goes: The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, with weeping skies and wailing winds, and meadows brown and sere. Heaped in the hollows of the grove the autumn leaves lie dead, they rustle to the eddying gust and to the rabbit’s tread. Enough of that and, as I think about it, much of that does not apply here. What we see are the fields of bedraggled corn stalks and the combines running along the rows doing the harvesting. Another poem that comes to mind speaks of the sumacs on the hills that turned from their green to
red. We don’t have the hills but there is lots of sumac and it is very red, adding to the colours of fall. It provides more colour than the trees. Is this sad month an appropriate time for Veterans’ Day? That is by co-incidence but it all fits the mood although we have reason to rejoice when we think of those who died to give us the freedom we have, and those who are still with us after serving so gallantly. As I write this, the sky is covered with clouds and the air is damp and cold. Somehow that is different than the cold days of winter, so there is reason to be melancholy. But life goes on, business progresses as usual, lawns have to be raked free of leaves and we are reminded of the fact it will soon be snowshoveling time. And I need to be thankful for being here for another melancholy November.

by Alivia Acampora It was quite an eventful week at Holy Name School. We started off with a Remembrance Day Mass in the gym. Our grade eight students participated in the Cenotaph Service in observance of Remembrance Day. On November 12, our grade eight students spent the day at Cardinal Carter High school where they had a chance to see different classrooms, learn about different programs being offered and participate in various activities in order to help prepare them for high school next year. That same evening a Muskoka Woods parent information meeting took place in our library to answer any questions and provide parents information about the upcoming trip in the spring. Parent Teacher interviews took place on Wednesday November 13. We ended our week with a hair cutting assembly for Mr. Schulert who had all his hair shaved off in front of the entire school! Thank you to all our students and their families who helped us reach our goal of $10,000 and a special thank you to Mr. Schulert for being such a good sport. We have our next literacy hour on Monday, November 18 at 1 p.m. Parents and family members are always welcome to attend.

New name for County resource
Executive Director Jenna Foley and President of the Board of Directors Ron Rogers cut a cake celebrating that the Youth and Family Resource Network has changed it’s name to ACCESS County Community Support Services.
by Jennifer Cranston The Youth and Family Resource Network has rebranded itself “ACCESS county community support services.” The new name and logo for the almost 20year old organization will hopefully reduce confusion and better represent what they do. The board and staff have been working on the new identity since February of this year. The new logo is a representation of Essex County and if you look closely, you’ll notice that the white space in the “e” is Pelee Island. President of the Board of Directors Ron Rogers explained that the old name and acronym was confusing. “Google searches would get you sites on yarn and knitting,” he said. He also explained that people didn’t understand

all of what they do. “We’re not just youth and family. We touch on so many other areas of life including homelessness and affordable housing,” said Rogers. ACCESS provides many services of its own and provides connections to other service providers in the region when needed. Rogers believes the new name embodies what they do. “We’re here to give you “access” to the solutions for the issues in your life,” he said.

Auction for Essex Youth Centre... that Steven still makes a difference. Steven “led by example,” Lewsaw said. “He was a fabulous kid.” She added that receiving emails like the recent one reminds her that her son still makes a difference in the lives of those who knew him. By hosting the community auction for the EYC, her son can continue to make a difference in area students’ lives. Lewsaw urges everyone in the community, and surrounding areas, to circle December 10 on their calendars and head out that evening to the Masonic Hall to participate in the community auction. Leading up to the event, she is urging area residents to clean out their attics, basements, and closets and donate gently used items to the event. Participating
in the event is a way the community can get together and support the EYC. Any gently used items are welcomed as donation, except clothing or vehicles. Items can include working appliances, Halloween or Christmas decorations, or games tables. There is limited storage space available leading up to the event. Lewsaw urges anyone willing to volunteer their time, available to help with the delivery service, or with items for donation to contact her at 839-5205 or via email at blewsaw@gosfieldtel. com. A pick up delivery service is available. She also welcomes anyone with any stories about her son to share them with her. Lewsaw first learned of the EYC need for funding

while taking a computer course through the Essex Retirees’ Social Club, where EYC members help out. She learned the EYC is dependent on grants and donations and was struggling. With past experience in fundraising, Lewsaw began planning the community auction. She is very excited to host the event and is hopeful the community will support it to make it as successful as possible. She urges local businesses to donate services or items to the auction as well. To Lewsaw, keeping the EYC open for local youth is important, noting it is a safe place teens can go and take part in social activities in a safe environment. Without it, youth will still congregate elsewhere, sometimes the outcome could be positive, or it may not be, she said. The auction, she said, will be a community effort. She urged everyone to keep their eyes open for future developments on the community auction as they are announced. She said local teens are planning to help out at the auction and in a variety of ways leading up to the event.

Live & Uncensored:
Remembrance Day... Continued from Page 6 to come the numbers of our World War II veterans will greatly diminish. The significance of those two wars and the sacrifices that were made in them is greatly attached to the men and women who fought in them. I worry about what will happen on Remembrance Day when the last of our World War II veterans is laid to rest. The Canadian character is different than the American character. Our history is different than theirs. War and conflict is at the heart of many major historical
events in the U.S. They were born out of war, went through a brutal Civil War to remain a union, and fought savage wars of expansion. We had none of that. In terms of war, as a nation, we came of age in the 20th century, sending men and women overseas to fight first in Europe and later in Korea, the Middle East and Afghanistan. I think we must make Remembrance Day an official, national holiday if for no other reason
than people are forced to wonder why they have a day off – and when they do that, the answers must be readily at hand. Now, more than ever, we must promote the significance of Remembrance Day vigorously, so that my grandchildren and all of their generation will remember what their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers fought for.

Standing up to bullying to benefit charity
Safety Village Program Coordinator Chantalle Faubert, Windsor Chapel Assistant Manager Julia Kelly Dion and Windsor Essex Crimestoppers Program Manager Ron Funkenhauser are busy promoting an anti-bullying calendar being sold to raise money for local charities.
by Jennifer Cranston What was originally supposed to be an awareness campaign has become a fundraising event for local charities. Calendars designed to educate and stand up to bullying are being sold to raise funds for The Children’s’ Safety Village, Crime Stoppers, and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Julia Kelly Dion of
Windsor Chapel Funeral Homes and her colleagues wanted to make a difference. A partnership with Vista Print has allowed them to do just that. Dion and her coworker Paula LeBlanc designed the calendar with a different theme for each month. From cyber bullying to elder abuse to work place harassment, all areas of bullying are covered. “It’s an informative tool to educate and bring light to a subject that affects us all,” said Dion. Vista Print partnered with Windsor Chapel and matched their hours of research and graphic design with about $25,000 of free printing to produce 1,500 calendars. “We want to get these into as many homes as possible,” said Dion. “We don’t want to see any more kids taking their own lives.” Stephanie Kinghorn was one of those children. In Jan 2003 the Grade 10 student at Riverside Secondary School took her own life because of cyber bullying. September, the month of her birthday, is dedicated to her. “When Stephanie was bullied it was through social media, but it was at a time when it was hard to prove,” explained Chantalle Faubert, Program Director at the Safety Village. Today, Kinghorn’s best friend works at the Village.
There is a mural there dedicated to her memory. During a photo shoot at the mural for the calendar a butterfly made its presence known for the duration of the shoot. It had never been seen there before and has not been seen there since. Kinghorn loved butterflies. Dion explains that bullying is something that takes place at every stage of life, in every area of life, from home to school to work and into retirement. “At the end of the day people just want to fit in and we want people to like us,’ she said. Ron Funkenhauser is Program Director for Windsor and Essex County Crime Stoppers.
He explained that harassing and threatening someone is a crime. Crime Stoppers is a tool people can use to end bullying anonymously. “If someone reports bullying, we have to respond appropriately,” he said. The type of response, he said, would depend on the type and severity of the case. Notifying a school principal might be in order when an arrest would be inappropriate, for example. For a minimum donation of $5, calendars are available at both Windsor Chapel locations, the Children’s Safety Village and Windsor Police Headquarters.

Passport Mentoring builds skills and provides opportunities
Leah Klein and her mentor Melissa Tiden show off their latest creation, a raspberry cheesecake at their restaurant Club II Cavallino.
by Jennifer Cranston Leah Klein is in grade 11 at Western Secondary School and she dreams of one day being a really good chef. Melissa Tilden is a chef at Club Il Cavallino. She says Klein is gifted in the culinary arts, and she’s glad to be able to help her follow her dream. Through Community Living Ontario’s Passport Mentoring Program, Klein
works with Tilden at the restaurant on Saturdays. Some of Klein’s favourite dishes to make are pasta from scratch, homemade tomato sauce and lasagna. “She’s amazing,” said Tilden. “She can recite the recipe for pasta dough off the top of her head.” Klein excels at coming up with her own recipes. She knows the restaurant’s
regulars and what they order and she’s a pro with a knife. “She garnishes plates so well,” says Tilden. “It’s an art,” smiles Klein. Klein says her favorite part of what she does is seeing people’s faces and their smiles when they eat her food. Tilden says her favorite part of working with Klein is having someone passionate and positive around. “I love having passionate people around and she is so upbeat. Nothing bothers her. She is so positive, you can’t be stressed or angry when you’re with her,” said Tilden. “It’s all volunteer, so it’s constant learning. We learn from each other.” The Passport Mentoring program is for students aged 14 to 21. Sherry Blanchard is Mentor Coordinator at Community Living Ontario. “This allows them to
explore ideas for their future after leaving high school, meet people they may not have met on their own and to potentially develop skills that they can use subsequently in life,” said Blanchard. “The program focuses on inclusion in the workplace and inspiring the students to reach their full potential.” Blanchard explained that many of the mentors have asked to extend the time they can spend with their students because they enjoy it so much. Some students turn these mentoring opportunities into career choices. “These opportunities develop experience and provide growth, which ultimately leads to success,” she said. Students with intellectual disabilities who are interested in participating, and people interested in mentoring can contact Blanchard at 226-344-5030.

Essex resident on CBC’s Marketplace by Sylene Argent On October 18, CBC Marketplace broadcasted its program “Dirt on Hotels: We’re Back.” While investigating the cleanliness of six popular hotel chains in Canada, the show brought Marketplace
viewer and Essex resident Carol Ann Dennis in to help out with the project. Dennis loves to travel, and hotel cleanliness is a major concern for her. She views staying in a clean hotel as an important way to avoid getting sick while
away from home and enjoying the world abroad. After the original episode on the subject aired last year, Dennis commented on the program’s website about hotel cleanliness and its possible relationship
with feeling ill while on vacation. This is how she was brought on board to be a part of the project. Dennis was surprised to get contacted about being a part of the show’s second installment, which was filmed around two months ago in Toronto. Dennis was interested to learn that the episode she was part of was viewed by around 1million people. She was equipped with a few hidden cameras. It was her job to ask the hotels about their cleanliness tactics. Being a part of the experience, Dennis said, was very exciting. She was pleased to work with the CBC staff that she said were very friendly. “It was fun and interesting to be a part of
Carol Ann Dennis was a special guest on the recently aired CBC Marketplace program “Dirt on Hotels: We’re Back.”
it,” Dennis said. She was happy to participate because she wanted to share little tidbits of information to help prevent people from getting sick when staying in a hotel. As a frequent traveler, she takes a number of precautions to protect herself from bacteria.
When she enters a hotel room, she flips the light switch on with her elbow and cleans surfaces with an alcohol wipe. Another cleanliness tip she shared was to clean the ventilation in a hotel room. To view the episode, log onto www.cbc.ca/ marketplace.

The Essex-based event, she added, had challenging racecourses, which many of the participants were happy to take on. The Camp Cedarwin course had many bends and trees the racers had to be mindful of while traveling at top speeds. She said teams came from Quebec and Ontario, and
from a few places in the US, including Indiana and Ohio. The Essex County International Dryland Dog Derby, Lee said, also attracted many participants from the Windsor-Essex County area who wanted to get involved in the sport. “We had some great participants from Windsor-Essex,” Lee said. “A lot of them were new to the sport.” Two area residents, Karen Damphouse of Essex and Eric Carson of Windsor, were happy to

compete in the race over the weekend. Damphouse said participating was a great experience. She enjoyed the friendly atmosphere the seasoned dry land racers created through their helpful nature. Carson noted he also enjoyed his experience, but admitted getting out on the course for the first time can be nerve-wracking. Organizers said dry land dog racing is an activity people can do with their canine companions, especially high-energy huskies, which were bred to run. One of the competitors over the weekend was Karen Koehler, who traveled from the Haliburton area to support the Essex event. Two years ago, she flew to Norway to compete at a world-level sled dog race in an event called skijoring with her Alaskan sled-dog team. Koehler was extremely pleased to have been able to compete at that level and she learned a lot about dog racing during the event. She found the people involved to be amazing. She even received pointers from the Captain of the Norway team. The world competition occurs every two years, and Koehler was happy to compete again this year in the competition held in Alaska. “I had a super time and learned a

lot,” she said. “I learned enough each day to get better.” The dog racing community is one that is close. Most of the participants are willing to help each other out. She found the Camp Cedarwin trail courses to be amazing and was impressed with the volunteers willing to lend a hand when needed. Koehler noted her dogs love to run and participate. Enjoying dry land racing is a great way for people to connect and bond with their dogs, she said.
submitted to EFP After a convincing physical win on Friday evening in Harrow, the Bantam Major Ravens were back home looking to string together their first pair of wins of the season. Although Essex was controlling the play through the first period, it ended in a draw. Calvin Ross broke the tie with a pass from Marshall Brownell and Mike Hryniuk. Riverside tied it up by getting the puck past Jarrod Ratko. They began to take over during the rest of the second, finishing it with a 2-1 lead. The Ravens regrouped during the second intermission and came out hitting in the third period. With seven minutes left in the third, Noah Fuerth tied the game with a shot to the top corner. Feeling the excitement, Essex fed off the energy. The Rangers tried to clear the puck with four minutes to play. Jacob Rose stopped that attempt at the blue line. He then let a sweet shot go to score his first goal of season.

Third straight WECSSAA title for Red Raider Volleyball
The Essex Red Raiders Senior Boys volleyball team captured the WECSSAA title in the finals against General Amherst.
by Garrett Fodor The home crowd erupted with cheers in the EDHS gym on Friday when the hometown Raiders got the 25th point in the third set. The Essex Red Raider Senior Boys’ volleyball played General Amherst for the WECSSAA championship title. The Raiders were looking to extend their WECSSAA winning streak to three years in a row. In the first set, they jumped out to a quick and early lead, led by great serves and a net presence that allowed the Raiders to cruise to a 25-17 first set win. The second set began the same way with the Raiders jumping out
to another early led that was caused by the Raider serves. But unlike the first set, General Amherst didn’t give up, as they made it interesting and at several points tied the game or were one point below. But it wasn’t enough as Essex won the second set 25-22. Just one set away from winning WECSSAA, the Raiders looked to continue their strong play. They once again took an early and commanding lead. With a strong net presence they blocked an Amherst come back, giving the Raiders a 2517 third set win, and the third straight WECSSAA championship. The Raiders now

by Fred Groves There is a sign in the Essex 73’s coaches’ office that reads – ‘It’s amazing how much can be accomplished if no 1965 Ford Falcon with 13,000 original miles one cares who takes the credit’. A profound statement and one that is holding true for the defending Great Lakes Junior ‘C’ Hockey League champions as they ran their record to 15-0-11 on Nov. 5 with a 6-2 win over the visiting Wheatley Sharks. “I thought everyone John Ziler’s 1965 Falcon 4-door sedan, still just like new! contributed or helped out in some way or another,” Memorial Ever notice how some stories just seem to jump right off the page?

by Fred Groves Ravens look for new football home The Essex Ravens football club is looking for a new home. With the renovations to Essex District High School, coach Glen Mills says the Ontario Varsity Football League program will have to find a new place to play. “If we go somewhere else, we might stay there. We don’t want to keep moving,” said Mills. The Ravens are also in the midst of raising money to do renovations to the field that would include putting in artificial turf and new bleachers. “They (Town of Essex) want it to happen. They said they would work it into their budget,” noted Mills. Indoor training sessions for the Ravens starts Dec. 2. • Still with football, former Essex Ravens’ standout Brian Bulke of
