Community shows support at Remembrance Day ceremony
by Sylene Argent Those who have served their nation in the fight for freedom and peace stood shoulder-to-shoulder with civilians on Saturday morning to take part in the local Remembrance Day celebration. At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, Essex residents bowed their heads around the local cenotaph, in a gesture of appreciation for the freedoms they enjoy today, thanks to the sacrifices veterans and fallen service personnel made and continue to make. There was a huge turnout of community members at the cenotaph for the Remembrance Day ceremony, many of which proudly laid a wreath at the base of the cenotaph to commemorate the lives of loved ones who signed up to serve their nation. In addition, wreaths were laid in recognition of the country, the province, Essex County, the Town of Essex, the Essex Legion, the Essex Legion’s Ladies’ Auxiliary, local service clubs, boy scouts, girl guides, and on behalf of all veterans. Wes Garrod, President of the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201), welcomed the many attendees to the event. He said the annual Remembrance Day ceremony is hosted to pay tribute to the many men and women who, “served our country so we can have the choices and freedoms we do have.” “Many paid the supreme sacrifice,” Garrod said, adding that many were able to return home after their duties were completed, but some of those individuals may not have return the same. It is because of those brave men and women we have the freedoms we have.” To see the large crowd of residents at the cenotaph was, “Overwhelming,” Garrod said. He rhetorically asked if anyone knew of the song, “The Wind Beneath My Wings?” The song includes the lyrics, “Did You Ever Know that You Are My Hero?” He said those who have served are everyone’s heroes. As a way to get local youth interested in the importance of
Remembrance Day and continue the significant tradition of remembrance for those who sacrificed, Garrod announced that art students from Essex District High School will soon take the time to paint the names that are honoured and displayed near the cenotaph so they can be easily read. During the ceremony, the Silver Ambassador Band provided live music, and members of the Kingsville-Essex Associated Band marched to and from the cenotaph as part of the parade procession with veterans, various groups of service personnel, and Legion members.

23rd annual Jingle Bell Run, Walk, and Wheel benefits CLEC
by Adam Gault Grey skies and a slight drizzle couldn’t dampen the planned festivities as more than 200 runners took to the streets of Essex
Centre on Sunday morning to participate in the annual Jingle Bell Run, Walk, and Wheel, which began from Ken Knapp Ford. For nearly a quarter of a century, the event has been a been a key fundraiser for Community Living Essex County (CLEC), raising thousands of dollars every year for the organization that assists individuals across Essex County who are living with intellectual disabilities. Nancy Wallace-Gero, Executive Director of the CLEC, said many who take part in the event view it as the unofficial start to the holiday season, which could be seen in the festive, Christmas-themed costumes worn by many in attendance. The event featured a 10km run, a 5km walk, run, or wheel, and a Little Elf Run for participants 6-years old and under. In addition, a new option for participants this year included a 2km walk or run. Bob Blair, Chairperson of the Jingle Bell Run Steering Committee, explained the new 2km event was introduced as a way to make the event appeal to a wider-variety of individuals, and to give those interested a stepping stone into the sport of running. Although attendance was down slightly from past events, the energy and enthusiasm of those who braved the chilly November air aided in raising funds and awareness for CLEC and all the programs and services its clients need. The event also provided an opportunity for participants to take part in the event with the many who benefit from CLEC’s services. All who participated in this year’s event received
a medal to commemorate their achievement, as well as the chance to win a variety of raffle prizes. Walkers and Runners Around the County of Essex (W.R.A.C.E.) teamed up with CLEC one
again this year to host the event, with the organizers thanking the many supporters and sponsors who make the annual event a continued success.

2018 budget approved in principle by Adam Gault Essex Town Council held a special meeting on Monday evening at the Essex Civic Centre, where members approved the 2018 budget in principle. During this meeting, Councillors again had the opportunity to raise questions and concerns surrounding various areas of the budget, as well as the capital and operating forecast over the next five years. The speed of this year’s approval, the first time the Town’s budget has been approved the calendar year prior to its implementation, can largely be attributed to the success of the Asset Management Plan and how it streamlines the process surrounding maintaining and replacing Town assets. As part of the 2018 budget and the recently approved organizational review, several new Council and administrative positions are being allocated for the coming year. These include the addition of a Deputy Mayor at Large, Deputy CAO, Technology
Specialist, Deputy Chief Building Official, Assistant Mechanic and Operator, Facility Maintenance Technician, Director of Development Services, and a Lead Hand of Environmental Services. Chris Nepszy, Director of Infrastructure and Development, explained several roads in the Town are slated for upgrade or replacement this year. Depending on a variety of factors, this includes either a simple resurfacing, or a complete tear up to bring these roads back to speed. Roads selected for these improvements in 2018 include the 14th Concession between County Road 11 to Old Walker Sideroad, Craig Beach Road, North Malden Road between the 13th and Gesto Sideroad, the 8th Concession, between Coulter and McCormick, and Gore Road. It was also applied to finish the paved shoulders on County Road 50 going east, and connect the sidewalk on Maidstone to McDonald’s and Tim Hortons.
Councillor Randy Voakes expressed concern with Irwin Avenue not being included among those streets selected for upgrades, stating that concerns about speed and safety on the narrow residential street have been brought to his attention. There are no plans to change any gravel roads in the Town to hard surfaced through 2020. Director of Community Services Doug Sweet spoke to the community improvements the Town has planned with the 2018 budget. These include the Colchester Harbour accessible ramp access connecting the park directly to the beach, a new Toro industrial lawnmower for the Parks Department, Stanton Park Drainage upgrades, as well as upgrades to the baseball diamonds and
soccer field. With the Public Works Department, storm water management was at the forefront of discussion with four bridges recommended for repair within the next year, as well as a complete Ward 1 storm improvement project. In terms of water and sanitary, there will be a series of capital upgrades at all of the facilities, including upgrades for sewage facilities as well as standard operational maintenance. As the meeting came to a close, CAO Donna Hunter expressed satisfaction that the budget was of a very reasonable nature, and was completely balanced for 2018. Council will finalize approval of the 2018 budget at a future council meeting.

ADVERTISING
Faith in humanity
Our faith in humanity can sometimes be challenged when instances happen that deflate the perspective we have of the world. We all have had those moments, whether we heard about them or had something directly happen to us. One only has to watch the news on most nights for a few moments before beginning to question how much good there really is left in the world. Though the saying goes, ‘good news travels fast,’ I’d say bad news travels even faster in most instances. And it has this way of burrowing into, and destroying, the positive view people may have of this place we all call home. But, every-so-often, we meet someone who goes out of their way to do good, and that rejuvenates our own sense of call to action. We forget about the bad and stop complaining about it as we allow ourselves to become pillars of greatness in our communities, our country, and the world. Sometimes, the best teachers, when it comes to shedding a positive light on a world that can so often be depicted as being draped in darkness, are our youth; many of which have not yet let the root of
negativity burrow into their personal world-view. I have witnessed a few of these positive instances lately, and I am glad I was able to. A few weeks back, we had a brotherly duo of Caleb and Gavin Brockman collect donations for the Essex Area Food Bank. In addition, Caleb volunteers at the food bank weekly, recognizing the need. Our EDHS Rotary Interact Club is growing, and these students are beyond willing and excited to get involved in their community to support local causes and the sister school in Maforeka. Finally, our EDHS students showed veterans their sacrifices are appreciated during a special Remembrance Day event hosted at our cenotaph on Friday morning. And, it was very noticeable the students wanted to be there. In addition, kudos to the EDHS Concert Band for its performance during the ceremony. Despite some of the instruments freezing up due to the very cool weather, they sounded amazing. I can only imagine the time they spent to learn and perfect the music specifically selected for Remembrance Day. On Saturday, I was so impressed
with the community turn out at the Remembrance Day ceremony. It was a Saturday, and it is easy to get side tracked by duties at home, but the attendees were nearly pouring out onto the street. Further, there were several members of a minor Ravens hockey team who brought a sign to the ceremony to show support to veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifices for the freedom we all enjoy today. I thought that was great. But, they really blew my mind when, at the end of the ceremony, they walked up to the cenotaph, and while looking at the wreaths laid in remembrance of loved ones who had served, placed their arms on each others’ shoulders to hold a final moment of silence before they departed. Ugh, the heartstrings were pulled. It is much easier to see negativity than positivity sometimes, but it does exist. And, we can allow that positivity to influence and motivate ourselves to do good if we let it. We just have to remind ourselves to look for it, sometimes.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch We remeber Did you attend a Remembrance Day service on November 11? This is the first year I did not go to the service in Essex Centre. Instead, I watched the televised ceremony presented live on our local station. It was a glorious event. There were not very many veterans of World War ll and most were from the Korean War. It was gratifying to see so many children there, and I hope the day is never made a holiday from school as it was when I was going to public school. I really did not know what it was all about, so it carried no meaning for me then. Certainly, it did not fill the vow of, “We will remember them.” Did you read the article about the line in John McCrae’s poem, “In Flanders Fields?” I was in the
third line of the second verse and someone interpreted the words, “Loved and were loved” to indicate he had a girlfriend. However, I think he could have been thinking of the love of his family. His challenge is in the last verse where it reads, “Take up our quarrel with the foe,” and continues, “If ye break faith with us who die we shall not sleep.” Something to think about

Letter to the Editor...
Irwin Avenue traffic issues I recently had the opportunity to attend a council meeting in Essex to hear two lady residents explain how Irwin Avenue had inadequate lighting, no curbs, no sidewalks, or even a center line. The street is so narrow, at the curve at the end by the Community Church, tire rut marks can be seen all over the lawn. It was mentioned that it is narrower than Ontario standards by 16”. Traffic coming down Gosfield Townline often take Irwin as a shortcut, when they see the light red at Talbot Street. Unfortunately, I believe these are not residents, but speeders trying to save 30 seconds. This is a very unsafe situation for the residents, especially for the families with small children who have to walk to the end of the street as school buses no longer come down the street. I wasn’t going to write anything, but I am a senior with a medical condition that requires me to use 2 forearm crutches when walking. I walk most evenings to try and stay as strong and healthy as long as I can. Tonight, I was walking with a reflector vest on and a car came speeding down the street easily, at what seemed to be 80 km/h and
The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch Forgotten articles If you are under the age of 65, you won’t be able to understand all the pictures of items that a friend sent to me. I had forgotten many of them. There was one that showed a pair of bronzed baby shoes that many people had to remember their child’s tiny feet. That was in the days when Smith Brothers black cough drops sold for 10 cents, and you could buy DippityDo hair gel. Women gave themselves a “Toni Home” which was considered as a hair permanent you could give without the time and expense of going to a hairdresser. Or, perhaps you would have a bottle of LePages mucilage to use as paper glue. And, people played the game of pick up sticks with which you dropped the slim sticks in a heap and then tried to pick them up, one by one, without causing any of them to roll away. How about a five-year diary with a lock! Or maybe your dial phone would have sat on a desk or table. At home, the kitchen chairs would have a chrome frame with plastic covered padded seats. Children at school sat at an individual desk or sometimes the desk was big enough to share with another child, or pupil as they would be called then. Ain’t technology wonderful?
nearly hit me. It was literally 12” from my elbow, forcing me to fall onto a lawn with some mud, due to all the recent rains. As only one person making the presentation is allowed to speak at the council meeting, the rest of us patiently sat there listening to rhetoric. Some Councillors said they needed more information and studies conducted before they could comment. For gosh sakes people, why do you need a study done? When I vote for people representing me, I expect some common sense decisions to prevail. It’s not rocket science. Our Town engineer said the street was in good repair. That was not the point. Actually, if it had a few more potholes, maybe people would slow. That does not address the safety issues previously mentioned of the street. He did say that they could put a traffic monitor device on the street, which will give them a report on volumes, but I don’t know how that would address the aforementioned issues. Our Mayor said he drove down the street before the meeting to see first hand what the problem was. He did admit that the street seemed narrower than most, but he suggested that a road grader drive down both sides of the street to accent the boulevard. How archaic and ‘50s thinking can you get? So, his solution is that we all live in mud on top of all the other issues. The most insulting remark came from our Town engineer. He stated that when we are standing on our lawns watching traffic go by, that perhaps it only appears that the cars are going 80 km/h and that in reality perhaps they are only going 50. How insulting. One of the residents present was a retired police officer, and I am sure after 30 plus years of operating a radar gun, he knows the difference between 50 and 80 km/h. How disrespectful and insulting. The only Councillor who showed any sympathy to our plight was Randy Voakes. It was obvious the rest couldn’t care less and the general consensus amongst us residents was that it was a waste of time and nothing will ever get done. This is probably the second highest tax base street
in Essex, after Tulley Meadows. And, we get the least attention of all of Essex. I believe everyone in Essex deserves safe passage down their street to access their homes. Too bad during the next election, we can’t elect a new Town engineer with more empathy. Kurt Schroeder Irwin Avenue, Essex TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE WWW.FORSYTHTRAVEL.COM

Essex Town Council discusses staff organization by Sylene Argent On Monday, November 6, Essex Council and administration met at the Essex County Civic and Education Centre to finish going through the draft Organizational Review that Kelly Linton of Imaginate Inc. submitted at the Town’s request. On October 2, Council was first introduced to the document, and at that time approved several recommendations attached to the report. Of the ten recommendations for change presented in the report, Council moved (from the first phase, which would be implemented within two years), to host semi-annual staff meetings facilitated by the CAO with the active involvement of the Senior Management Team; shift the Manager, Legislative Services/Clerk to report to the CAO and introduce a Deputy Clerk position (which
has been done); identify succession planning priorities and establish a Deputy CAO position; and establish a Development Services Department with Planning, Building, and Bylaws and Economic Development. Of the eight first phase recommendations presented, it is estimated to cost would be between $105,000-$130,000. This is because, it was explained at that meeting, there is currently no Town Planner and that position would be redefined. At the November 6 meeting, Council went through the remaining recommendations. In discussing the recommendation to establish the Development Services Department with Planning, Building and Bylaws and Economic Development, which CAO Donna Hunter said was previously approved by Council. She noted money is set aside in the budget to relocate the department to Gesto or a different permanent location. Director of Infrastructure & Development Chris Nepszy said he believes the intent has been that building and planning services should always be together. Currently, there is not a one-stop shop now as those with inquiries have to go Gesto to talk to building and head to the municipal building to ask planning a question. Right

now, they can be placed in Gesto cheaply, he said. It was moved to have this pre-approved in the 2018 budget. Council further moved to shift Fire & Emergency Services under the Community Services Department, to introduce a Technology Specialist position to support the Manager of IT, and to enhance the Community Programmer position. Hunter said the Community Programmer position would have little cost. Doug Sweet, Director of Community Services, further noted that is because the cost to hire this position will be covered by fees of those who enter programs. He said the position was needed to add more programming, especially in the Harrow and Colchester areas. It was said at the previous meeting, the project highlighted the Town’s strengths and weaknesses, and recommended positive changes for long-term organizational excellence. In the future, Council will have to deal with phase two of this document, which will consider the introduction of a Specialist of Asset Management and shift GIS Technician to Capital Works & Asset Management and further introduce a Specialist, Communications and Citizen Engagement position over a five-year term. The report notes these recommendations could cost between $125,000 and $145,000.

Community Living Essex County celebrates completion of building renovations
Prior to the completion of the recent renovations, not every washroom at CLEC featured automatic door openers. “Hearing from Jeff makes it even better,” WallaceGero commented. “I talked about our pride in receiving this grant, but when you know Jeff and others we serve are saying the same thing, that’s when we know we’re on the right journey.” Essex MPP Taras Natyshak, who attended the presentation, offered his congratulations. “The only thing that I can say is that there is no better place to invest public dollars than Community Living Essex,” Natyshak said. “The impact that you have on people’s lives, and families’ lives, every day is tremendous. And, this grant isn’t simply about accessibility, it’s about independence, and that means freedom. That’s just such a wonderful feeling for those who have barriers.” For more information about CLEC, visit communitylivingessex.org.
Representative of Community Living Essex County are joined by Essex MPP Taras Natyshak to mark the completion of a critical renovation project.
by Adam Gault Representatives of Community Living Essex County (CLEC) held a celebratory meeting on Tuesday, November 7 to recognize the completion of the nearly year-long renovation to their administration office and community support centre in Essex Centre. The renovations were funded through the approval of an Ontario 150 Capital Grant for $74,000 in December of 2016, which CLEC matched in fundraising for the building improvement project. The CLEC facility now features fully accessible washrooms with automatic access, energy efficient LED lighting, a re-leveled parking lot to prevent the pooling of water and ice formation, as well as improved security measures to keep safety a priority for everyone who accesses the facility. “Many people don’t realize this building is over
25-years-old,” Nancy Wallace-Gero said, who is the Executive Director of CLEC. “So, it is indeed a building that was ready for some upgrading to improve energy efficiency and that sort of thing.” CLEC offers social and support programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities, including skill-building workshops, employment supports, and supported independent living. “We believe that this initiative is helping to make us a more inclusive and engaged service provider within our community,” Wallace-Gero said. “And it has impacted, at the very least, a thousand people who use this facility on a very regular basis.” Jeff Kapasi, who is supported by the CLEC, said that accessibility to the building had been an issue for a while now, and that he appreciated seeing how far CLEC had come with the site-wide upgrades.

Squires forward $700 bottle-drive proceeds to CAS by Sylene Argent Members of the Squires group at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church passed along their hard-earned proceeds, raised through a September 16 bottle drive, to the Children’s Aid Society on Monday evening. Mike Clark, Manager of Public Relations & Fund Development for the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation, gladly accepted the $700 donation, noting it was a great gesture. “It is a fantastic to have youth supporting youth,” Clark said of the donation. To highlight the importance of the donation, Clark said the funds will come in handy as the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation supports over 800 families for Christmas, provides around 900 new backpacks to
youth in need at the beginning of the school year, and supports bursaries and getting youth to summer camp. Clark noted on average, one in eight youth in Windsor-Essex are provided services through the Children’s Aid Society, even if that is on a short-term basis. The bottle drive was successful, thanks to the hard work the Squires put into the program, in addition to the generosity the community forwarded to the program. Around a week prior to the event, the youth members handed out flyers in Essex Centre, asking residents to save their bottles for them. They further went door-todoor to pick up donations. The Squires decided to support the Children’s Aid Society to help other young people. The Squires is a youth group of the Knights of Columbus. Through this service club, the young members, aged 10-18, learn leadership skills, how to organize an event or fundraiser, and run their own meetings. There are currently 14 members in the group.
Chief Squire Brennan Meloche presented Mike Clark, Manager of Public Relations & Fund Development for the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation, with a $700 donation on Monday evening.
Gosfield North stacks cups as part of international event by Sylene Argent The clinking and clanking of cups echoed throughout Gosfield North Public School’s gymnasium last Thursday afternoon as the grades three, four, and five students participated in an international attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for “Most people sport stacking at multiple location in one day.” Students broke off to stack cups at different stations as did students and other organizations from across the world. Participating in the event included groups in the US, several European countries, and New Zealand. All of the groups who participated stacked cups for at least thirty minutes as part of the challenge. It was hoped that world-wide, 635,000 stackers would participate. This would supersede last year’s record of 622,809. The students at Gosfield North Public School worked

Town to discuss revisions to General Zoning By-Law 1037 by Adam Gault The Town of Essex is holding a public meeting at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 20 at the Essex Civic Centre to discuss proposed changes to the Town’s General Zoning By-Law 1037 Plan. These potential revisions will focus on five parcels in Essex Centre being considered for re-zoning from Agriculture and Restricted Commercial to General and Light Industrial. Of the five parcels considered for redevelopment, two are located on the south side of Concession 8, west of Highway 3, and three are located parallel to Highway 3 on South Talbot Road, south of Maidstone Avenue. In July 2017, the OPA 6 (Official Plan Amendment) was approved by Bill King, the Manager of Planning Services for the County of Essex. The approval of this amendment added new policies and guidelines to the Town’s Official Plan. With the approval of OPA 6, the Town has adopted mandates related to public health and safety, storm water management, and other land issues not related to the natural environment. Part of the changes implemented by this amendment include the re-designation of the lands as noted above. It is hoped that with the development of these areas from agriculture to light industrial, the issue of Essex Centre’s lack of

industrial employment lands and opportunities for diversified job creation can be addressed. Additionally, proposed revisions to the specific definitions of “attached” and “detached” in regards to buildings on a single property are to be discussed.
The definition “attached” will refer to a building or structure that depends on support from a common wall or a wall supporting an adjacent building. Any two buildings located on the same lot within 1.8 metres of each other are deemed to be attached.
The definition “detached” will refer to a building that is not dependent on another for structural support and has a space greater than 1.8 metres between it and a neighbouring structure. Additional changes proposed include provisions related for the
use of shipping containers for permanent storage, recognize dwellings on unassumed roads in new subdivisions, and more consistent lot area provisions for rural dwellings on septic systems, including dwellings using a tertiary treatment septic system.
This meeting will allow the Town to present this proposal, as well as for constituents to ask questions and share their views on the revisions. A full report on the proposed revisions can be found online at essex.ca

CUPE Local 27 presents cheque to Ronald McDonald House Windsor
by Adam Gault CUPE Local 27 helped bring smiles to representatives of the Windsor Ronald McDonald House (RMH) on Wednesday, November 7 with a donation of $4,000. The donation will help fulfill the $400,000 pledge WE C.A.R.E. for Kids made as part of its campaign to bring the RMH to the WindsorEssex region. Since 2016, RMH
Windsor has been available to make the lives of parents and families with sick children at the Windsor Regional Hospital’s Met Campus a little more stress free. This was the first in-hospital RMH in all of Canada. “The families are able to just be down the hall. They don’t have to worry about leaving the building their sick child is in,” Christine Richer, Manager of RMH Windsor,
explained. “(Having to stay elsewhere) can really weight heavy on parents.” Richer added that RMH’s main focus is hospitality, and that providing families with a comfortable living environment goes a long way during long hospital stays for them and their children. “This is their home
away from home. From here, we provide them with all their basic needs, whether it’s a shower or food,” Richer said. “This is a place where they can get the respite that they need from the hospital environment, but know that they’re close by and be able to participate in their child’s care.” Dan MacNeil, Treasurer of CUPE Local 27, who was on hand to present the cheque during the morning ceremony, said the donation was part of CUPE Local 27’s commitment to helping those in need throughout the community. “We’re committed to supporting services that help the kids in society,” MacNeil said. “They (RMH) provide a very necessary service. You have a lot of families that depend on this.” Before the opening
of RMH Windsor in 2016, many regional families had to travel to London in order to have accommodations with RMH while their children were receiving longterm hospital care. The modern and contemporary designed facility in Windsor has gone a long way in alleviating much of the stress from having to travel several hours from home. Richer explained the feedback from parents since opening the Windsor facility has been incredibly positive, with families explaining how happy they are to now have this incredible service right here in Windsor-Essex. “It’s the same theme we hear from every parent, how grateful they
are, but also that they’re grateful for us taking care of them, so that they can better take care of their sick child,” Richer said. “There’s never anything negative that comes out of this. It definitely allows parents to heal faster, and also to help them cope with what they’re dealing with.” Richer finished by saying that RMH Windsor is always looking for a number of volunteers to assist with tasks at RMH including food preparation, fundraising, or just being able to brighten the days of children and parents staying at the facility.

High school students offer remembrance at the cenotaph
by Sylene Argent It was a time for a moment of silence and solemn commemoration on Friday morning as students from Essex District High School attended an early Remembrance Day celebration at the local cenotaph. The students marched down to the cenotaph from the high school, escorted by representatives of the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201). They attended the event to pay tribute
to service men and women who fought for Canadian freedom, recognizing that those who served in the First and Second World War were not much older than they are presently, and in some cases, the same age. Local Veteran, Ed Caza, attended the event. He served in the Korean War and WWII. He was in his teens when he enlisted. Wes Garrod, President of the Essex

Legion, was pleased to see the high school students at the cenotaph in a show of gratitude to those who fought for their freedoms, some of whom paid the
supreme sacrifice. With local youth hosting and attending Remembrance Day ceremonies, the importance of the tradition will continue,
Garrod noted. “We are here today to remember the people who served, are still serving, and those who have passed on while serving,” Garrod said. He added that having the students at the cenotaph helped, “Remember the very many men and women who have fallen.” Kim Gilliland, Branch Padre, offered a few prayers at the cenotaph, which was followed by a moment of silence that allowed everyone a way to remember in their own special way. He prayed for the rememberance of the sacrifices made and for those who experienced spiritual, emotional, and physical injuries while serving their nation. Several wreaths were placed at the base of the cenotaph during the ceremony. Dakota DeRoy, EDHS’s Student Council Prime Minister and Principal Michael Hawkins proudly carried two of the wreaths presented. The EDHS Concert Band’s flawless

1932 Oldsmobile convertible: where is it now?
1932 Olds convertible seen about 50 years ago. Is it still around?
In the late 1960s, Bill Willms of Leamington, Ontario, photographed a 1932 Oldsmobile convertible with rumble seat and a 1964 Ontario license plate in a project yard with other old cars between London and Kitchener. None were for sale. The Oldsmobile nameplate is on the double tie bar between the front fenders. One headlight was missing and the other was a sealed beam conversion. It’s a miracle the glass window in the passenger door had not been cracked or broken. The open space behind the passenger door leads to a golf club compartment with the door missing. Three hinges on the passenger door suggest a car of good quality since smaller cars often had only two. The bracket and rod on the passenger side of the cowl and the bulge on the underside of the right front fender tell us this car had a spare tire in the right front fender and probably one on the other side too. The car had 4-wheel mechanical brakes (Olds did not get hydraulic brakes until 1934). More stopping distance was required with mechanical brakes, and this might explain why this car has two front bumpers, the original and a later one mounted out front, perhaps from a ’40 Ford with three bumper guards. It might have been used to push other cars around the yard. This car was probably built in the GM plant in Oshawa, although General Motors in the 1930s also had a plant in Regina. Two series of Oldsmobiles were available in 1932. The F32 had a fl athead six with 213 cubic inches and 75 hp. The L32 had a flathead straight eight with 240 cubic inches and 87 hp. Both series had a wheelbase of 116 inches. The F32 4-passenger convertible coupe with rumble seat had an Oshawa factory list price of $1355 and the same model in the L32 series had an Oshawa factory list price of $1495 when a 1932 Ford V8 convertible coupe had a Windsor factory list price of $765. Someone might have rescued and restored the car pictured here, making it a very valuable classic today. And that person might read this story and get in touch. Stay tuned!

Essex 73’s offense fueling success

by Garrett Fodor The Essex 73’s continued to improve upon its early-season struggles, while scoring its way out of problems. This past week, the 73’s had a slow week, which gave the dingedup teammates a chance to heal. It also offered a glimpse into the future,
giving a trio of APs a chance to show their stuff to Essex faithful and the rest of the league. The first of two games was held on Tuesday night as the home-team hosted the Wallaceburg Lakers. In its previous meeting on October 10 against Wallaceburg, Essex prevailed 6-0. On Tuesday,
Essex set the tone of the re-match early in the night. William Stadder opened the scoring three minutes into the opening frame. Essex continued to dominate and hold the puck in the offensive zone in the opening period and throughout the game. As a result, Essex skated into the first intermission with
the scoreboard reading 4-1. Wallaceburg beat 73’s goalie Tyler Ryan for the second time of the night just 34 ticks after puck drop into the second period. From there, the period, and the game for that matter, was all Essex. The 73’s continued to overwhelm the Lakers’ goalie and defense. The 73’s scored seven unanswered goals in the period, including Stadder getting a natural hat trick and increasing his total on the night to five. Closing out the game, Essex netted two more goals in the third period, while holding the Lakers to a lone shot. Essex prevailed 13-2. Leading the way was Stadder and line-mate Wyatt O’Neil, who each had five points. The only skater for the 73’s not to record a point was Braydon Davis. To close out the week, Essex was on the road Sunday to face the struggling Blenheim Blades. Entering Sunday, Blenheim had loss its last five straight games. For the Blades faithful, it looked good early in the game as Essex goaltender
Tyler Ryan was beaten twice in the opening 12 minutes. But, Essex received a pair of goals in the final four minutes. Luke Gecse was the first to beat Blades’ goalie, Eric Stewardson, followed by Sylvano Valente two minutes later. Valente blasted home a point-shot with the extra skater on a Blenheim delayed penalty. The 73’s players used their strengths in the middle frame. It is no secret that the Essex special teams have been lethal early in the season and they worked on Sunday. The lone two goals of the period were scored by the visiting 73’s. William Stadder netted a shorthanded goal as he went end-to-end, making several quick moves to undress Stewardson. Cody Leeming scored his fourth goal in the last three games as he beat
Stewardson with a blast from the point on the powerplay. In the third period, the Blades scored two goals in the opening 10 minutes to tie the game at 4. Luckily for the Essex faithful in attendance, the 73’s speed began to wear down the Blades and forced the hosts to take penalties in their frustration. Ryan Wismer unloaded a sneaky snapshot, which went untouched as it cruised by a screened Stewardson. It was Wismer’s first goal for Essex and a crucial one as it was the eventual game winner. He finished the night with 1 goal and added two assists. Essex held on for a 5-4 nailbiting win. Shots were 23-21 for Blenheim.
