by Sylene Argent A portion of Talbot Street was blocked off to incoming traffic on Wednesday morning as a large group of military service personnel and residents gathered in Essex Centre to pay their respects to the men and women who have served their country, sometimes paying the ultimate sacrifice. The Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) hosted this local recognition event for veterans and all those who have served their country as

part of its annual Remembrance Day service. The local service included a parade from the Essex Legion to Essex United Church, where a service mass was held. Following the mass, the Essex Legion hosted a wreath laying service at the Essex Cenotaph. “We assemble here to acknowledge and give thanks to all of the Canadian veterans. It is not only to honour the fallen that we observe Remembrance Day Continued on Page 2

by Sylene Argent Last week, Essex MP elect Tracey Ramsey was appointed as the NDP’s critic for International Trade. Ramsey is excited to take on this role. Upon hearing the news, she thought she was a perfect fit for the position as she has a background in labour issues. She is a former auto-sector employee, working for the industry for 19 years, and she was the Chairperson of the Women’s Committee for Unifor Local 200. She has also been involved with its Political Action Committee. Ramsey said she is ready to get to work on looking into how the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement would affect the area with its auto and agricultural sectors. The issue of the TPP is one she was hearing on the doorsteps when canvassing in the 2015 Federal Election. Ramsey wants to make sure the TPP offers fair trade, that there is benefit for Canadians, that it will not threaten jobs, and that it will be good for area residents. Trade is vital, Ramsey said. But trade has to be done in a way that is fair. She is looking forward to bringing concerns she has heard regarding the TPP and other trade issues to the table. On Monday, Ramsey was sworn in Ottawa as the Essex MP, in Ottawa. She just recently signed a lease for her constituency office, which will be located nearing Essex MPP Taras Natyshak’s office. This location, she said, will be central and convenient for individuals who need help from both offices. It will also help staff from both offices to work together on cases that require federal and provincial input or assistance. It is hoped this office will be up and running by December 1.

each and every year. As part of our observance, we also acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of all the veterans, including the ones currently serving,” Essex Legion President Dan Gray said. And it is through the generosity of Canadians, who take part and contribute to the Poppy Campaign, that the Legion is able to serve veterans and their families, Gray commented. Through preserving veteran records and memories, and with providing youth education programs, “We will always honour the past, the present, and the future of the Canadian Armed Forces,” Gray commented. “We will ensure that they are treated with the respect they deserve.” Through Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae’s 100-year old poem “In Flanders Fields,” and with programs the Royal Canadian Legion provides to Canadian veterans, Gray said “We are reminded that remembrance holds meaning each and every day, not just on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.”

A large gathering assembled for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony, which included local youth. Gray was happy with this year’s attendance, and was especially happy with the new addition the youth brought to this year’s ceremony. Students from Essex Public School wrote special messages of thanks for the local veterans, and distributed them to veterans who were in attendance. Members of the Essex Legion were happy to welcome the Silver Ambassador Concert Band, which offered live music during the service, as well as the Royal Canadian Naval Association, the large

group of representatives from the Essex & Kent Scottish Regiment, the Knights of Columbus, The Ontario Provincial Police, and the RCMP for having representation at the ceremony. The Legion was especially happy to welcome veterans to the ceremony, because “without you, none of this would be possible,” Gray commented.

Essex Town Council Notes for November 16

by Jennifer Cranston Council reinstates the position of OPP Contract Sergeant Police Services Board Chairperson Bill Caixeiro and OPP Inspector Glen Miller made a presentation on October 19 to discuss the benefits of a Contract Sergeant as a liaison to the community. This is a position that was eliminated following the retirement of the former Contract Sergeant. At that meeting Council requested a report from administration on the matter. In a special meeting on November 16, Council reviewed that report and voted to reinstate the

position. The costing provided for this position by the OPP indicated that costs for a full year in 2016 would be $176,669. There would also be an initial start-up cost of $3,797 to equip this position. BIA offers to partner with Town on pavilion Chairperson of the Essex Centre BIA MaryAnne Bjorkman asked for Town commitment in a partnership to build a pavilion in Heritage Park. Bjorkman explained that the BIA has been putting money aside for several years to put towards a signature community project. It

Red Raiders host pasta dinner for Maforeka sister school by Sylene Argent The Business Leadership students at Essex District High School were busy hosting a pasta dinner for its sister school in Maforeka on Monday evening, and spreading awareness about this special cause. The event was hosted in the hall at the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201). After the local high school solicited the help of the community and its feeder schools in 2010, with retired teach John Garinger spearheading the project, the students were able to raise enough money to fund opening a school in Maforeka. The students are committed to raising funds, around $3,000 to $4000 annually, to help keep the school supplied and running for its fellow classmates in Sierra Leone, West Africa. School Board Trustee Julia Burgess was pleased to support the event and the initiative. She thought about the ripple effect when a pebble is cast in the water. And the pebble cast to initiate this project five years ago, created amazing ripples. She described how Maforeka was right in the heart of two Ebola outbreaks, and none of the school’s students or their families perished from the disease. This, she said, is because in part the teachers were educated, and then the community could then become educated. That is “very powerful,” she commented. If there are local people who think they can’t make a difference, this is a spectacular story to show they can

has $150,000 saved and would like to put that money towards the pavilion and public washrooms. The large open structure would be ideal for concerts, farmers’ markets, and more. The 2015 Town budget still has $70,000 in a fund earmarked for beautification and Bjorkman asked that that money be committed to the pavilion project. According to the streetscape plan developed by Stempski, Kelly Associates, the pavilion could cost around $150,000. Infrastructure and washrooms would be additional costs. Town planner Jeff Watson said the BIA has been working closely with administration on this project and he estimated the total costs to be around $250,000. The final design, which would be approved by both the BIA and Town Council, will determine actual costs. Councillor Larry Snively and Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche commended the BIA for having saved such a

large sum of money for a community project. Councillor Randy Voakes moved that the Town commit the $70,000 from the 2015 budget, and that Council consider allocating another $30,000 from the 2016 budget to this project. The motion passed unanimously. Bjorkman said the BIA would like to begin construction in the spring of 2016.

indeed make a positive impact on someone else’s life on the other side of the world. She encouraged anyone who could spare some time and money to “support this excellent project.” A number one complaint she often hears from high school students is “why do we need to learn this?” The Maforeka project, she commented, is a project in real time. The Essex students get to see how they are making a difference in the lives of others. And they are learning while they do so through the school.

“This is where education meets real life,” she commented. She added that the project is important to many individuals, so much so there are

graduates of EDHS who are still connected to the Maforeka project and continue to support it, “because they know it makes a difference.”

So long as there is greed, there will never be peace. Of course there are many other factors that would have to be in play to obtain peace at a global level. But greed, selfishness, that’s that disease that will forever plague mankind, for as long as there is something to gain, there will be someone who will want to take it, to control it. Greed has many faces and facets; each as deceptive and ugly as the other. Many wars are started because of greed. That could have stemmed from wanting wealth, control, power, or influence. To end greed, many need to be collectively selfless, courageous. One has to love his or her neighbour, their family members, more than oneself to fight greed. They have to leave behind all they have loved to defend it; never knowing if they will be able to return to it. And it is the selfless act of those

who put their lives on the line to fight greed, in whatever form it is manifested, that stops it from spreading. Fear, consequently, is the fire that enables it to spread, wildly. Freedom allows me to say what I want to say, be who I want to be, and believe what I want to believe. What a gift. But I often wonder if we have become too comfortable, if we take the greatest gift we can have for granted. When I attended the Essex Legion’s Remembrance Day ceremony, and took notice of the many people there, many tearful at the memory of loved ones long lost, I was overwhelmed. What a beautiful thing, to stand shoulder to shoulder with community members in a joint moment of silence, remembering the lives of those who gave us the opportunity to assemble in that fashion. I didn’t think there could be anything more beautiful. Until the youth stepped it up.

What a moment to watch the students of Essex Public School, each with ear-to-ear smiles on their faces, pass along cards of thanks to the veterans in attendance. And then, the grade eight students at Holy Name Catholic Elementary School took turns to stand for thirty minute increments; completely still, completely silent. And those students were proud to pay tribute. It is so important to ensure that our youth understand how important it is to remember those who served, and serve, and those who fell in doing so. And those students got it. They made their community proud with their tributes. And in doing so, encouraged their younger schoolpeers to one day do the same. With that level of enthusiasm, they will never be forgotten. Well done!

Letter to the Editor... Youth volunteer to rake leaves The beautiful leaves have fallen. I have a green box and 40 or more stuffed paper bags of these beauties sitting at the curb. As I left town last Friday I knew I must get at this clean-up chore on my return. As a senior, it is not one of my favourite tasks. Returning late Monday, amazingly, the raking and stuffing had already taken place! And the back yard, too! Two young sisters of my neighbourhood had chosen to do the work and apply the hours to their Community

Services quotas. This is to thank Madeline and Melina Rivest for the most appreciated gift of their time, effort, and thoughtfulness. And my thanks to their father, Mike, who would have provided the required oversight, I’m sure. I owe him some bags, too. Peace to All, Bill Richmond

- Snow patrol What a wonderful idea I see in this newspaper. Essex Community Services is asking people to join its Snow Patrol Program. It offers to match volunteers to shovel off sidewalks in front of homes and on driveways for those who are disabled or seniors when snow falls. I may appear to be in the latter category, but the specialist told me I must not shovel snow anymore. And my husband now walks with a cane or a walker so we are going to need that help.

We would be willing to pay for it, but the idea expresses so much concern on the part of the town for its people that I immediately wanted to express gratitude in this column and bring their thoughtfulness to the attention of my readers. Essex Community Services is the same group that provides transportation for those that need it. Actually, I used to serve on that committee and I think I was given a lifetime membership so it made me grateful that this service has been added.

MPP supports Council’s push back on industrial wind turbines by Sylene Argent Essex MPP Taras Natyshak met with members of Essex Council on Tuesday, November 10 to discuss Industrial Wind Farms. Natyshak said he was invited to attend the meeting. He said Essex Council had a made a decision in terms of a particular wind project proposed for the municipality that it is not a willing host. He said the parameters of the revised Green Energy Act asks for buy-in from municipalities through public consultation and a

vote in Council. Through a unanimous vote against this project, he said, it will be remain to be seen whether the weight Council has given affects whether this project goes forward or not as it goes through the process up to the provincial jurisdiction. Natyshak said he has a binder-full of constituents who have written in opposition, and a Council that is in opposition. Administration also looked at the proposal and did not recommend that Council take it on. All those components are weighted against the

Councillor makes statement about assault charge by Sylene Argent Last Week, Essex Councillor Randy Voakes plead guilty to assault with a weapon. He received a conditional discharge. This hearing was held as a result of a domestic incident that occurred in August, around the one-year anniversary of the passing of Voakes’s and his wife, Shelley’s, thirty-year old daughter, Priscilla Campbell. Voakes said “I had to plead guilty or else I would have had to wait a year-and-a-half, waiting for it to go to trial, in order to prove my innocence. So I had to do what I had to do in order to get my wife back at home with me.” Shelley, Voakes’s wife of 32 years, said she wanted to go on record to say “Randy is a good man, and that he would never hurt anyone. I love him.”

project, “and hopefully common sense prevails and they can move on,” he said, adding that potentially a different project may be beneficial. Natyshak said he expressed in the meeting that he is in support of their decision. “They are in close consultation and connection with residents, so they are talking to people on the ground [who] are going to be affected by this project, and others. I take their recommendation seriously and I am here to support their position. So, I will bring it up to the Minister of Energy to ensure that he knows that this is not a willing host.” Natyshak said it is not known what energy projects would be approved in this round of approval. He said Council was told it would hear a decision in September, and in November, it has yet to

hear from the Ministry. Natyshak said he will endevour to find out. He will also take questions to Toronto on rules around financial incentives. Part of the conversation between Council and Natyshak during the meeting surrounded that it could be beneficial if there was more conversation between wind turbine companies and municipalities in utilizing the knowledge of the Planning Department. He said it seemed rational, that proponents have discussions with the Planning Department. Councillor Bjorkman brought up the idea of consulting with the Planning Department because once a turbine goes up, it is there, for instance, for thirty years. In that time, nothing else could go in that space, or near it, depending what plans were envisioned

in the setback area. A neighbour, for instance, may have to forgo building a home that may have been planned. Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche said in August, Essex Council unanimously passed a resolution that “Essex is not a willing host community for wind turbines.” This meeting included discussion with a

wind turbine company regarding a Community Benefit Agreement. Council wanted to meet with Natyshak, who has a direct connection to the Minister, so he could pass along Essex’s position. He said Natyshak can help Council in its fight in having industrial wind turbine development moved away from Essex.

Holy Name honours veterans

by Sylene Argent The grade eight students at Holy Name Catholic Elementary School are encouraged to be leaders in their school, and part of that leadership role means showing the youngster students how to act, how to respect one another, and take on projects of great importance within the school and for the community. These youth, this year, were challenged to

pay tribute to veterans and fallen military personnel in recognition of their sacrifices. So, on Remembrance Day, with the guidance of teacher Mr. Kostanjevec, the students took part in a special tribute as a way to say thank you to all who have served Canada. The special remembrance project spanned from from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The students were split into groups of three. The

students proudly wore poppies and a trench coat as each group took a halfhour shift to stand on an elevated platform placed just outside the school’s front entrance. For that half hour shift, the students stood in silent reflection, thinking out what Remembrance Day means, about the men and women who have served Canada, and those who paid the supreme sacrifice for the freedoms

Canadians enjoy today. This was the first year Holy Name hosted this Remembrance Day event. Mr. Kostanjevec has got his students involved with this special tribute at the other schools he has worked at for the past eight years. He said the grade eight students at Holy Name are always willing and ready to get involved, and they took ownership over this year’s special tribute.

“The students were extremely excited,” Kostanjevec said of the grade eights getting involved with the tribute, adding these students want to get involved with “any opportunity we throw at them.” Standing in reflection helped the students focus on the meaning of the day, and appreciate the sacrifices others made for their freedoms. With participating in the event, he said, the senior students were able to show the younger students the importance of the day. Grade eight students Matt, Owen, Josh, Jessica, and Sarah were selected to speak about the event on their classmates’ behalf. They all agreed that the event was important, and the class was thrilled to be involved. “It means a lot to us,” they said. In the past the school hosted a mass for

Remembrance Day, and it did that this year, too. But the students were proud of the new addition. “It means a lot to pay respect to people who risked their lives. It is the least we can do.” The students said their tribute had not only an impact on the school, but the community. They observed many community members crying when pulling into the parking lot, or waving and honking in support of their efforts. They said they even observed a neighbour pull on a trench coat and stand at attention for twenty minutes from their own property. The tribute really made people stop and think about the importance of Remembrance Day, they said, adding it is a good memory they will carry along with them.

Additions to Spitfire Essex United holds Honour Wall unveiled indoor yard sale

who served in the RCAF or the RAF during WWII. These names were submitted to the Committee. But as news about the monument continued to spread, the Committee received more names to add. And the only thing that could be done was to

This past weekend over 20 volunteers worked hard to bring this much anticipated event to the community. People were so excited to get their hands on the bargains in the church basement that over 30 people were lined up before doors opened at 8 a.m. on Friday morning. Nancy Holden is one of the organizers and she explained that Friday is a busier day, but Saturday at 10 a.m. all that is left is marked down to half price, and the crowd of shoppers grows again. At each of the Church’s annual sales, Friday is the day when a homemade lunch is available for sale, and a bake sale table is part of the offerings.

On Saturday, the event was well on its way to becoming another success. “Friday was very busy,” Holden said. Treasure hunter Sandy Lenius said she comes to every yard sale at Essex

United. “I like supporting the Church and there are always a lot of hidden treasures here,” she said. The money raised goes to general expenses of running the Church.

EMHA’s “Just Believe” holiday Essex takes next step on Harrow High School closure event set to entertain submitted to EFP The Town of Essex has taken the next step in fighting the closure of Harrow District High School. On Tuesday, November 10, a petition containing over 300 names, along with a formal request for administrative review of the board’s decision, was filed with the Ministry of Education on behalf of Essex Town Council and a committee of concerned Harrow residents. “Council continues to be very concerned about

the potential closure of Harrow High,” Essex CAO Russ Phillips said. “The Town is therefore committed to fully pursuing the process established by the Ministry to ensure that boards of education follow their own policies and the Ministry’s guidelines when making critical decisions that can result in school closures.” The Ministry is expected to ask the Greater Essex County District School Board to file a response within 30 days.

The Ministry will then have another 30 days to decide whether to appoint a facilitator to determine whether the board’s accommodation review process was undertaken in a manner consistent with its locally developed policies and the Ministry’s guidelines. At its October 13th meeting, the school board trustees voted 5-4 in favour of closing Harrow High at the end of June 2016. The Town hired lawyer James Cooke of Ducharme, Fox to request a review of the program accommodation review process and the Board of Trustees’ decision. The Town should know by mid-January whether the Ministry intends to appoint a facilitator.

submitted to EFP Essex Minor Hockey Association (EMHA) will host its 2nd annual “Just Believe Holiday Event” fundraiser on Saturday, December 5 at the Essex Centre Sports Complex. Inspired by the hit movie “Polar Express,” this holiday event will be a festive occasion with a host of activities for the whole family! The “Just Believe Holiday Event” is not only a magical event for the community; it also serves as a fundraiser for the Essex Area Food Bank and Santa’s Cause for Kids toy drive. The “Just Believe Holiday Event” has a matinee pre-show event at 12:30 pm, with the movie starting at 2:30 pm, and an evening pre-show event at 5:30 pm, with the showing of the movie

at 7:30 pm. The magical experience will include a viewing of “The Polar Express.” Visitors will be greeted by the Polar Express Train Conductor, who will stamp golden tickets. The longlist of preshow activities include

face-painting, gingerbread man cookie decorating, and making a keepsake tree ornament. Event and ticket information can be found online at www. justbelieveevent.

Committee was pleased to unveil the two new Honour Wall additions on Wednesday afternoon, which was Remembrance Day. Though the monument honours persons who served in the air force, Committee Chairperson Suzanne Allison said, given the day, they were recognizing the efforts of all those who served, along with airmen and women. Remembrance Day, she said, is a perfect day to hold the final unveiling of the Honour Wall because it provided an opportunity to say thank you to all who have served. The two granite additions to the Honour wall allowed the Spitfire Committee to recognize another 432 names, bringing the total name roster on the Honour Wall to 1837. “This is beyond what we ever imagined,” Allison said, adding when the Committee first sat down to discuss the possibility of bringing this monument to Essex, the members figured they would have a few hundred names to display.

Additions to Spitfire Honour Wall unveiled... Committee, Allison thanked everyone for their support in this effort. She was pleased to point out two Chipmunks, a Harvard, and a Stearman as they flew overhead during the ceremony. This was the last day the Committee would be together. She said

they shared a lot of great memories together, and some sad ones also. One of the veterans the Committee wanted to honour was Essex resident Jerry Billing, who passed away in January. He piloted a Spitfire during WWII. And members of the Committee had made

a promise to Jerry that they would do something to ensure he and the others who served in the RAF and RCAF were not forgotten. Allison explained that the Spitfire was named after Priscilla Campbell, the daughter of Councillor Randy Voakes and his wife Shelley. She had passed away a year ago in August. She was on board to help fundraise for the project in its early stages. “She’s a big part of this monument,” Allison said. When his daughter passed, life changed. But Voakes said when he looks up at the Spitfire monument, “It holds something new and heartfelt.” He said when standing quietly near the plane, and taking the time to listen, “You’ll hear Priscilla and the veterans; they are in a mess hall, they are laughing and dancing. They are looking down on us and celebrating because they left us with better freedoms and reasons to celebrate.”

Voakes, who is the Council liaison on the Committee, said the Committee is second to none. He thanked everyone for their support and contributions to the project, but “The real thanks goes to the men and women on that wall,” he said, adding it was because of their efforts that Canadians get to enjoy the freedom and life experienced today. He talked about attending the Remembrance Day ceremony the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) hosted in Essex Centre earlier that morning. At one point during that service, guns were fired, which startled the crowd and made babies cry. Their mothers tried to comfort them. That made Voakes think about the mothers during the war; their children were hungry and scared, and didn’t know if dad would return home. “Sometimes I wonder

if we reflect enough. One day is not enough,” Voakes said, encouraging everyone to take time to reflect about past wars and the people who sacrificed their lives for freedom. If

Continued from Page 13

it was not for those people who put their lives on the line, Canadian freedom may not exist as it is enjoyed today, he said.

Fitness Fury hosts fundraiser for seven-year old burn victim

These demonstrators show oﬀ a myriad of intense exercises during Fitness Fury’s fundraiser “Give Your Share to Show You Care” for seven-year old burn victim Isabel Rueda of Windsor.

by Sylene Argent Emily Bohdal is a member at Fitness Fury in

Essex. A few weeks ago, she was working, and was asked by the business’s

owner Jen Cassidy why she seemed so distracted. Bohdal shared that

her daughter is a friend of seven-year old burn victim Isabel Rueda of Windsor. She felt helpless, and wanted to do something to show her support. It was at that point Bohdal and Fitness Fury decided to host the “Give Your Share to Show You Care,” fundraiser for the little girl, who is recovering in London from the October incident. “We are here to support Isabel in her recovery,” Bohdal said. Fitness Fury hosted an array of activities on Saturday, including kettle bells, weights, a plank hold contest, and a bar hold contest. Individuals were asked to make a donation to join in the activities. Raffle prizes and draws were also held to help raise funds. “We had huge enthusiasm from the community members coming in to participate,”

Fall bazaar raises money for Residents at Iler

Pictured Left: Gina and Marisa Miller peruse a craft table at the annual Iler Lodge Fall Bazaar.

by Jennifer Cranston Iler Lodge held its annual Fall Bazaar this past Saturday to raise money for the Residents Council. The Residents Council at Iler supports day trips, a pet dog, and many recreational activities. This year’s Bazaar included a raffle and 50/50 draw, a soup and chili lunch, and the sale of crafts, DVDs, books, CDs, and baked goods. Local businesses donated prizes for the raffle and

staff, residents, and their families, donated many of the goods for sale. There were even a few vendors who set up tables to support the local nursing and retirement home. Staff member Lisa Birrell likes the event because it’s good for residents and the larger community. “The residents benefit and it brings the community in,” she said.

she said. She suspected by the end of the fundraiser, there would have been participation from 150 individuals. Bohdal said the fundraising goal kept changing with the outpour of support. The bar is now set at $10,000, and she is confident that much will be raised for Isabel. She is overwhelmed with the support shown. When learning of the fundraiser, Bohdal said Isabel’s family was speechless. Anyone interested in supporting Isabel can do so at the Scotia Bank in Windsor. Bohdal said contributions can also be dropped off at Fitness Fury in Essex during its

hours of operation. Bohdal has known her daughter’s good friend for three years. “We are wishing all the best to Isabel; nothing but great strength and courage,” Bohdal said. “She is an amazing child, whose innocence was torn away. I pray she prevails through this.” She said Isabel fell victim to domestic violence. It was reported that she was burned in a house fire that was allegedly set by an individual outside of the family unit. The case is before the court. Bohdal was thankful to the Cassidy family for their support in hosting the fundraiser.

Essex County Rotaries present Hospice with $10,000 donation

by Sylene Argent At a special banquet hosted at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens on

Monday evening, members of Essex County-based Rotary Clubs presented $10,000

Notice to Residents Town of Essex Water Financial Plan Council of the Town of Essex approved the Town of Essex Water Financial Plan prepared by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. dated November 2, 2015 at a Special Meeting held November 10, 2015. The Financial Plan, #029-301A, was prepared in accordance with the mandatory reporting formats for water systems as detailed in Ontario Regulation 453/07. Copies of the Plan are available for viewing at the Essex Municipal Office, 33 Talbot Street South, Essex, Ontario or on the Town’s website at www.essex.ca. Cheryl A.

to representatives of the Hospice of Windsor & Essex County. The donation was made in support of the soon-tobe Leamington facility. This was the second instalment of five the Essex County Rotary Clubs have committed to provide the Leamingtonbased Hospice. At the end of the commitment, in a five year span, the Rotary Clubs will have donated $50,000 to the Leamington Hospice. Essex Rotary Member and Assistant District Governor Dr. Julie Ricci is proud the Essex County Rotary Clubs have joined together to support Hospice. “It’s a great project,” she said. In order to raise this $10,000, the Rotary Clubs linked up to host a number of events, including a Trivia night, which was in

conjunction with Windsor Rotary Club, a fish fry at the Leamington Tomato Festival, and a Rock n’ Roma event that housed a silent auction. Ricci said the cause is a good one to get behind. It is important because the Leamington Hospice will give people dignity in their last days, and it will help County families to not have to drive to Windsor to be with loved ones during those hard times. Ross Barnwell,

Executive Director of the Leamington District Hospital Foundation, thanked the Rotary Clubs on behalf of the Capital Campaign Committee. “You did a wonderful job,” he said. Fundraising for the project began around a year-and-a-half ago. At that time, the goal of $6 million was set. He noted thanks to the generosity of the community, $1.3 million is left to be raised. He said it is that last bit that will be the hardest to

raise. Barnwell added the Leamington Hospice will have ten beds, and is projected to be up and running on April 1 of 2016. “That’s exciting news for families and the community, that we can come together in such a short amount of time,” Barnwell said. The Essex County Rotary Clubs consist of Essex, Amherstburg, Cottam, Harrow, and Leamington.

Public Notice Regarding the Town of Essex Sign By-law and the erection and maintenance of signs on Public and Private Lands The Town of Essex has adopted a new sign by-law governing the erection and posting of any sign in the Town on public and private lands. The intent is to prevent the proliferation of unregulated signage within our community and to set standards that balance our pride of community with the needs of our businesses and organizations. Like the previous by-law, the sign by-law prohibits the erection and posting of private signs on public lands without permission from Council. The Town is hereby giving notice that private signs posted on public land and public utilities, such as street lights and utility poles, without Council’s prior permission, will be immediately removed without further notice. Most signs placed on private lands also require a sign permit. Where a permit is required, any ground sign, whether temporary or permanent, placed on private lands, without the poster or property owner first obtaining a permit for it from the Town, will be ordered to be removed within 15 days of the giving of notice. Failure to comply with the order may result in a fine and the payment of legal costs upon conviction. For more information regarding the provisions of the sign by-law and the options for the erection and placement of new signage, please contact either the Planning or Building Departments at 519-776-7336 Extension 1128 and 519-776-6476, respectively, during regular office hours, Monday through Friday between 8:30 and 4:30.

Maidstone Museum makes progress with St. Pierre Cabin by Jennifer Cranston The Maidstone Historical Society is working hard to prepare a piece of local Francophone history to be moved to the grounds of the Maidstone Bicentennial Museum. The St. Pierre Cabin, currently located on West Belle River Road, will eventually be used to house the museum’s “Into

the Log Cabin” program. The children’s program has been running for six years and is the only bilingual program offered by the museum. Under the supervision of Heritage Conservationist Dave Benson, the log cabin is currently being winterized and brought closer to its original state. The cabin

was lived in by members of the St. Pierre family until around nine years ago. At this point, aluminum siding has been removed as well as the duct work. Volunteers will be working inside the cabin over the winter and heavy work will begin in the spring. Three additions will have to be removed as well as layers of flooring and wall coverings. Society President Victoria Beaulieu said that while they know the home was built by Jacques Marentette, and that it has always been in Francophone hands, they are still learning about the history of the log cabin. “It’s not as old as we thought,” she said. “We thought it was about 200 years old, but now that they’ve gotten into it, a better guess is that it was built in the 1860s.” A clap board kitchen was added some time during the late 1800s and that addition will be kept.

Staff Spotlight

“It’s a great example of two architectural eras,” Beaulieu said. “Each section will hold artefacts from its respective era.” There are some interesting connections between the cabin and the Museum. The Maidstone Bicentennial Museum is housed in what was once the Maidstone Town Hall. Lawrence St. Pierre served as Town Clerk in that building. He also raised his 16 children in the three bedroom cabin. He and many of his descendants have been involved with the Maidstone Historical Society. “Four generations of this house have been involved with the museum,” Beaulieu said as she stood in St. Pierre’s home office where he sometimes conducted Town business. Beaulieu explained that the Society has spent much of the last year becoming sustainable again after losing its resource centre. They have ownership of the museum now, rather than a lease from the Town of Lakeshore. “We’ve done very well,” she said, explaining that thanks to ownership of the building and land as well as some very successful fundraising

initiatives, they will be eligible to apply for government grants in January. A new youth program called the Junior Maidstone Historical Society was so well received that membership is twice what they anticipated. An identical day program will be offered next year at the

request of home-school groups. “The kids will be a large part of this project,” Beaulieu said. “They will learn a lot about heritage conservation.” The Society also plans to have an addition to the existing museum completed by the end of next year.

the flagpole for their respective levels of government. Donna Roubos, Woodslee Millen Group President, laid one for all veterans and Wayne Stanley laid a cross for Vietnam Veterans. Natyshak took a moment to thank all the veterans present. “Because of your courage, dedication, and sacrifice, we are all here today,” he said. He said that the phrase “lest we forget,” is a call to action to teach our youth, heal our veterans, and stand up as Canadians. Bain pointed out just how suddenly the call to action can come for our military and how important the fight to protect our way of life is. “When we see what happened in France yesterday, it is important to remember that our freedom can be taken at any time,” he said. Stanley is one of many Canadians who have served in the U.S. military. He served in the U.S. Navy from June 1958 until September 1980. He served in Vietnam in 1966 and again in 1971-1972. He acknowledged that this is one of the few events that makes the effort to recognize Canadian Vietnam Veterans. A secondary purpose to the evening was to raise awareness for the Woodslee Millen Group’s efforts to bring a cenotaph to Woodslee. Donations were accepted at this event. There was also a 50/50 draw and a raffle to help raise funds for the project.

Football season ends for Red Raiders Owning three classic cars from the Big Three

Shannon and Cathy with his three cars at the Sun Parlor Home in Leamington last June

Since he retired from the H. J. Heinz Company in Leamington, Shannon Dresser has attended over 140 car shows in southwestern Ontario and Michigan and of course the annual Woodward Dream Cruise. The fun began in 2008 when he purchased a red and fully restored 1968 Mustang convertible with a 302 V8, 4-barrel carb, dual exhausts, and automatic on the floor. In 2010, Miss Comber at the Comber Fair picked Shannon’s Mustang as her favourite and presented him with a trophy. In 2012, he returned to the Comber Fair, this time with his recently purchased Sublime Green 1973 Dodge Challenger with a 340 V8, 4-barrel carb, dual exhausts, and automatic on the floor. Miss Comber for 2012 picked Shannon’s car as her favourite. Another trophy! Later that same summer, Miss Leamington at the 2012 Tomato Festival picked Shannon’s Challenger as the Best Car from the ‘70s. With the ’68 Mustang and ’73 Challenger parked side by side in Shannon’s garage, he could see something was missing. He had a collector car from Ford and one from Chrysler but nothing from GM. On November 1, 2014, Shannon purchased a white 1986 Camaro Z/28 with a 305 V8, 4-barrel carb, dual exhausts, and automatic on the floor. In 2015, Shannon drove his Challenger to a car show in Marine City, Michigan, where Miss Richmond Court presented him with a plaque featuring a picture of a Chrysler in the same colour as Shannon’s car – Sublime Green! In June of that same year, Shannon and Cathy attended Steve Plunkett’s Automotive Extravaganza near London, where they had their pictures taken with the Dukes of Hazzard. On Sunday, September 26, Shannon left the Challenger at home and drove his Mustang to an All-Ford Car Show in Thamesford. Their friend Basil from Strathroy was there with his ’64 Gaxalie convertible, which picked up two awards. And although Shannon does not yet own a Galaxie, he is a member of the Galaxie Club of Ontario. On June 11, 2015, the Activation Committee at the Sun Parlor Home for Senior Citizens in Leamington decided to hold a classic car show on their front lawn for the viewing pleasure of their residents. Shannon often volunteers there by pushing wheelchair residents to Bingo or birthday parties. When he was asked if he would bring a car to the show, he said: “I’ll bring all three!” A total of 47 classic vehicles showed up that day, and plans are already underway for another show next year. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Wheaton-less 73’s split record

Pictured above, Luke Gecse attempts to screen the Lakeshore goalie during the game on November 10.

by Garrett Fodor The Essex 73’s had two games on its schedule last week against a pair of resurging teams, and they would face off without a key contributor. Essex’s goalie Trevor

Wheaton currently sits atop the league for wins, save percentage, goals against average, and shutouts. But the 73’s had to rely on backup goaltender Matthew Badour in both contests

after Wheaton was suspended for his actions in Wheatley on November 9. The 73’s began the week on November 10 against their cross county rival, the Lakeshore Canadiens. Both teams were looking to rebound after each suffered overtime losses in their last game. In the high scoring affair, the Canadiens jumped out to an early 3-2 lead after twenty minutes. Scoring for the 73’s were Michael Vieira and Max Viselli. In the final forty

minutes, Essex’s offense exploded, which included four goals in the middle frame. Lakeshore would not quit, and was resilient in its efforts to stay in the game, but fell short. Scoring for Essex included Matthew Hebert, Phil Janikowski, Luke Gecse, and Tyler Boughne as Essex would win 7-5. Max Viselli had two goals and an assist in the effort. “Tuesday was my first multi-goal night, and it felt pretty good,” Viselli said. “We came out as a team tonight. Coach sat us down after last night, and told us to just do the simple things, so we took it to heart, and did what we had to do.” Closing out the week, Essex traveled to Mooretown on November 14 to face the Flags in its last contest there this season. After 20 minutes of play, things were gridlocked at one. With William Stadder opening the scoring for the 73’s while Cameron Rannie

Adam Giairin takes a slapshot from the point against Lakeshore.

In the final period, despite Essex having numerous scoring chances, Essex dropped the game 4-3. Essex held a 42-26 shots advantage.

beat Badour to tie things up one minute after Stadder’s tally. Things remained tied after 40 minutes, but it changed from ones to threes. Brett Vorshuk and Tyler Scott scored for Essex.
