by Sylene Argent Around 400 youth excitedly showed off their Halloween costumes on Monday morning. They proudly paraded along the sidewalks through the downtown area, during the Essex Centre BIA’s annual Tiny Tot Trick or Treat Parade. “We had a great turnout of trick-ortreaters,” Essex Centre BIA Chairperson Mary-Anne Bjorkman said. She suspected the great weather on Monday morning helped
encourage families to participate. She noted families came from all over the County to take part in this long-running BIA event. Bjorkman was also pleased to have local businesses not located along Talbot set up a space along the parade route to participate in handing out candy. The Essex Centre BIA hosts this event annually to help youth celebrate the Halloween season and bring families to the downtown core.
Youngsters, dressed in their Halloween best, visited local businesses between Laird Avenue and Victoria Avenue. OPP officers were on hand to safely help the youngsters across the street. Paramedics with EssexWindsor EMS also took part in the event, handing out candy to participating youth. The event was more than just a fun activity in which to celebrate Halloween; it

Kingsville Community Policing Committee hosts social media seminar prevent with kids.” Richardson talked about a wide variety of consequences that can come from misuse of social media. These consequences come in categories such as career and criminal. For career, Richardson said every part of a child’s future can be drastically affected. One wrong post can mean not being accepted into a postsecondary institution or not being hired for a job. But the consequences can be even worse than just that. Some posts can come with jail time. Plus, a desire to be liked can come with a serious threat. “When I talk to students and they have 5,000 friends on Facebook or 5,000 followers, they’re giving those 5,000 people access to their lives. Their videos, their pictures, where they live, where they go to school. All of that stuff is available to those 5,000 people,” Richardson said. “I haven’t met 5,000 people in 47 years, but I talk to students all the time that think it’s a game of how many more friends can they get, but they’re giving those people a
lot of information. So, I always tell students to go through their friends list. If you don’t know the person, I recommend you take them off.” “Kids have more access to the internet at school,” Constable Steven Campbell said. “We’re seeing iPads going into schools at younger grades so they have more access to the World Wide Web, and not only do the kids have to be educated, but also the parents. I didn’t get taught the World Wide Web until I was out of university or college and these kids are learning about it at Grade 3 and 4.” Even though fraud scams are more commonly known by the public, what police often find is that people are still being roped into them. That is why the event wasn’t just focused on social media. It can be easy to simply stay away from the internet and expect everyone you know to do the same. However, the police and representatives of Media Safe said that is the wrong way to go. Social media has many benefits and it is just a matter of respecting yourself and respecting others when using it.

by Shelbey Hernandez Over the years, fraud has occurred in different forms, including via emails, phone calls, and sometimes through the mail. Needless to say, most, if not all people, are aware of its existence. Less commonly known though, are the dangers of social media. When not used correctly, it can have drastic impacts on the lives of many, which is why the OPP Kingsville Community Policing Committee hosted a social media seminar on the evening of Tuesday, October 25 at Migration Hall. The event had two guest speakers. It also housed informational booths that the OPP Mental Health Response Unit, South Essex Community Council, ACCESS, Victim Services of Windsor and Essex County, Crime Stoppers, Kingsville Community Church, and Family Services manned. Not only did the event teach individuals more about fraud, with guest
speaker Jessica Gunson, it also focused on how to stay “media safe.” Media Safe is not just a phrase, it’s a company that teaches people how to protect themselves in social media. The guest speaker for this company was Ryan Richardson, who is a former lawyer, a former human resources worker, a former social media marketing worker, and a current dad. Richardson created Media Safe because of these factors. “Every time I write an email, every time I want to write a comment on Facebook that’s sarcastic, the legal training usually stops me from doing that. I think about these things because I know if this is taken out of context, which most things are, it could blow up and be very bad,” Richardson said. “The worse time in my life to have access to Twitter that would have allowed me to say anything that was on my mind would have been between the ages of 12 and 19. I would have said so many dumb things that just popped in my head that I would have been completely unemployable now. That is what I’m trying to

Rotary partners with pizzerias to help end Polio
by Sylene Argent The Essex Rotary Club found a great way to promote world-wide health and encourage eating out on a Friday night through hosting its annual Pizza for Polio event at a handful of local pizzerias recently. All day at Chochi’s, Armando’s, Little Caesars, Domino’s, and Capri, a portion of the pizza sales went to helping the Rotary

Club raise funds to help end Polio. Dr. Julie Ricci is a Rotarian with the Essex Rotary Club. She was pleased to attend one of the event sites on Friday evening to greet customers and pass along information as to why the event was so important. She noted there are currently three countries where Polio is endemic. Often, members of Rotary
Clubs partner with other volunteers to provide Polio vaccinations to youth in countries where Polio is still a threat. Dr. Ricci took part in one of those trips in 2010. She travelled to India with a group of volunteers to administer the vaccinations, which consists of placing two drops on the tongue of children under five-years of age. “It was an amazing experience” Dr. Ricci said. She and her team travelled to a remote village to

provide the vaccinations. She added it was incredible how families opened their doors to Rotarians to welcome the Polio vaccinations. It is hopeful that in the future no one will need to be immunized against Polio anymore, she noted. “We need to work hard to finish the task,” she said. “We can’t take the last steps [in eradicating Polio] lightly.” Dr. Ricci noted that through to 2018, every dollar Rotary commits to the WHO and UNICEF in support of the continuance of vaccinating individuals in countries where Polio is still a threat, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will double it. She hoped this year’s Pizza for Polio event will be just as successful as last year’s, which raised $1500. In addition to raising funds for the cause, the event acts as a great awareness outlet about the issue and how Rotarians are helping. Dr. Ricci said the Essex Rotary Club was grateful to the local participating pizzerias and the community for supporting the cause.

Recently, Council and administration have looked into possibly regulating and restricting Off Road Vehicles (ORV) use in urban or rural areas. Options could include not allowing them, or allowing permitted ORVs on select roads, possibly during certain times of the year. I am curious to hear what community members will have to say about this possibility at the three scheduled open houses designed to solicit public input. The Open House Dates are: Tuesday, November 1, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Essex Centre Sports Complex; Wednesday, November 2, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the McGregor Community Centre; and Thursday, November 3, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Harrow & Colchester South Community Centre. Council recently heard a presentation from Gord Keen of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Provincial Traffic Operations. During his in-depth presentation, he highlighted some statistics that basically showed non-fatal and fatal collisions rise when you introduce
ORVs onto roadways. “I think it is important, the message here is that, any municipality that is looking at enacting a bylaw certainly wants to give serious consideration to which roads they allow (ORVs) on, because the more traffic you have, the more difficult it becomes for them to continue on the roadway without running into conflict,” he had said. I can appreciate the extensive research administration has conducted on the matter, and that Council thought it would be worthwhile to look into this matter for a variety of reasons, including tourism possibilities. But, I’m not yet convinced allowing ORVs on certain roadways, no matter if Council only allows them on a few concession roads during certain times of the year, is right for our community; but I’ll remain open-minded. Driving any type of vehicle is dangerous. It is a privilege to be behind the wheel. My first priority is to always ensure everyone’s safety. But, when statistics show that the more you allow ORVs on roadways, the more collisions, I am weary for
public safety. Perhaps administration can come up with a way to ensure any possibility of this would be as safe as possible. Again, I am remaining open-minded. I’m just proceeding with caution! I hope there are great turnouts at these open houses, which could help guide Council and administration into either scrapping the idea, or the best way in which it should be approached, depending on what community members have to say. Having conversation about the idea is great, and I’m always for discussing any possibilities that would either enhance the Town or attract new visitors or residents. If unable to attend the open houses, written commented can be submitted to Essex’s Economic Development Officer, at nsilveira@ essex.ca, by November 18.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Spitfire Park Have you noticed the improvements being made at the park where the Spitfire is located? Already, it is taking on an attractive appearance with shrubs and landscaping. When I think back to the time when I moved to this town, I remember there were no parks. The first night we were here, the boys asked to have a picnic supper in the park. There was a distinct shock effect to hear there was no park in the town. Actually, it was a long time until there was one. Do you remember when changes were made to make what was known as Sadler’s Pond an attractive area? That was a major change that added a new dimension
to Essex; or I should say “Essex Centre” as we name it now? It was after the last explosion that there were plans made for improvement of the street scene. Although we had rainbow road, as it was dubbed after the lamp poles were painted different colours, that was more an oddity than an attraction. So, when I drove along Talbot recently, and noticed the improvements around the Spitfire area, a lot of memories flashed through my mind. It is gratifying and encouraging to see that much is being done to give us an attractive shopping area.

Saying farewell to a four legged family member by Jessica Azar About a month ago, I said farewell to my beloved family dog of 13 years. It was one of the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. My parents brought home a Terrier/Poodle mix, who we named Austin (after Austin Powers), when I was 16-years old. He was just a pup. My brother and I had wanted another dog since our wonderful dog, Honey, passed away a few years prior. When I first laid eyes on Austin, my heart was all his. I absolutely fell in love. He would tear up the garbage and towels too. He would bark at everyone and enjoyed biting and yanking at your pant legs for attention. He could really do no wrong in my eyes. Austin always had to be touching you. He had to sleep along your legs, or place his head or a paw on you, making sure you weren’t leaving him behind. When he looked at you with such unconditional love and admiration, you could not help but love the heck out of him.

Opinion/Community I 5
Essex Free Press
At the age of 4 Austin was diagnosed as epileptic and suffered seizures. He was medicated everyday until his last. He also suffered dislocated knees his entire life, from bad breeding. He never let any of this bother him though. He continued to be loving and full of crazy energy. This is why dogs are so wonderful. People aren’t always this forgiving about life and the obstacles that make it more challenging. Over the years Austin helped me through my parents’ divorce, through college, through my own break-ups, and so much more. Just before my wedding two years ago, we all thought we were going to have to put him down. His red blood cells were low, he was weak. He couldn’t even lift his head, or eat! Not eating anything in sight was a sure way to tell something was up with him. His Vet (and conveniently a great friend of mine) put him on a prescription mixture, which gave us another two wonderful years with him. With one full year, he didn’t need the meds anymore. Showing his age in the last year, we made the decision, as a family, that it was the right time to consider euthanization. He was unable to hold his bladder, he was falling off of furniture and the porch, he was missing nearly all
of his teeth. The factors that made this whole decision so difficult was that we loved him and didn’t want him to leave us, and he seemed happy. Like ‘entire butt and tail wagging’ type of happy. My wise Veterinarian friend told me that there really is no better way to go than out happy, relaxed, and loved. She really made all of us feel more at peace with the hard decision. She came over to my Dad’s house on the farm where he lived. It was a gorgeous day. We placed him on his favourite blanket outside and I was able to feel his last heartbeats. There were lots of tears shed in that moment. He was gone. Many of you will understand it when I say that our pets are so much more to us. They are family members. You cannot receive that kind of unconditional love from a human. Austin never judged anyone, he loved me for who I was and accepted me, flaws and all. I will never forget him, nor will I look back in regret. He will be missed, but we made the right decision for him, as well as for us. He lived a full and meaningful life, that I’m sure all dogs dream of. Love up your pets tonight and give them a big hug for me. Cherish all the moments you have with them because 13 years flew by, and I wish there were 13 more.

also allowed youngsters to learn about the importance of giving and showing support to those in need in their community. The Essex Centre BIA asked participants to submit non-perishable food items for The Essex Area Food Bank and the Salvation Army Food Bank. The generosity of the parade participants allowed the BIA to collect two full grocery carts of non-perishable food items for the local food-distribution organizations. In the spirit of the season, several Essex District High School students dressed up in costume and joined local merchants in handing out candy along the trick-ortreat route. As a way to say “thank you,” the BIA offered the volunteering students a pizza lunch. As parents walked with their youngsters to collect candy from local merchants, they were able to take notice of new businesses, and maybe do a little window shopping as the holiday season quickly approaches. This year, to help area shoppers save a few bucks, and promote shopping locally, the Essex Centre BIA will offer E$$ex Centre Downtown
Dollar$. Patrons will be able to buy $10 vouchers between November 1418 from the Essex RBC at a 15 percent discount, with the Essex Centre BIA covering the cost difference. The vouchers could then be used at local participating businesses. “We are really excited
about this program,” Bjorkman said. Through offering the E$$ex Centre Downtown Dollar$, the BIA will be able to support participating local businesses and promote Essex Centre.

Letter to the Editor... The content of the American Presidential election is so disheartening. It appears that now it’s not people of integrity and conviction for making things better whom enter politics; but rather are people who by means of deception and the need for personal gain that seek political leadership, and at any cost monetarily or personally. But wasn’t that always the case? Hillary Clinton appears to be an outright liar, but a good one. She appears to be the type of person who could sell you anything, like Burt Lancaster in the Rainmaker, with a pasted on charming smile, and an “I’ve been wronged in the past [on many levels] so
help me please be a winner” demeanor. Alternately, Donald Trump, who I feel had a real chance at presidential success initially, let his bombastic personality undo himself. Seeing things being controlled more daily by the media [which he always used to his advantage to promote his ideas, but now was being used against him]; “The Donald” let his message of “we need sincere change” become not just “the sky is falling,” but become “the sky has arrived and it’s crushing us.” So what will become of this cement mixer of confusion that changes more often than a

frightened chameleon? That remains to be determined far past the end of my existence. But, one thing seems to be certain at this point, it won’t be good for the people of the United States, and by extension the general population of the world, including its closest neighbour. Nothing positive, at least in my memory bank, has ever become lastingly better by promoting lies, deception, threats, and chaos as its basic foundation, without the resultant destruction of multitudes of humanity as its building blocks. The proposed ‘great societies’ of history (the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; the dynasties of China; the Aztecs and Mayans; the British Empire, the Soviet Union, even “The West” of today) all have one central motivator, using the conglomerate of fear, misdirection, and suppression in order to gain, and hopefully maintain, political power. So why are we shocked by the antics of the U.S. presidential election... everything old is new again ... right? Well except God; He remains the same I believe. - Robert W. Sinclair LaSalle, Ontario

Colchester North P.S. hosts math day by Fred Groves If you poked your head into the classrooms at Colchester North Public School on Friday, you might have been a little surprised at what you saw. In one room, a group of students pointed at a large TV screen that displayed numbers, another group of students measured ingredients, and in the gym, students completed jumping jacks and ran. All of these activities took place as the school hosted a ‘math day.’ Judging by the number of parents who also came to participate, the event was well received. “We wanted to engage parents on math and engage the students in all different subject areas,” Principal Yvonne Petta said. Teachers in each class room, from Grades one through eight, had set up interesting and challenging ways to
learn that math can be fun. In one room, glasses were filled with various amounts of water, they were struck to make a sound, hence the music component. “In the library they are playing chess and board games. It helps with counting and money,” Petta noted. One room had a couple of smart boards, which are giant iPads, set up. Some students were busy building with blocks, and in the cooking centre they measured. “Sometimes there is a fear of math, so we try and tell them if they make a mistake that it’s a learning experience.” There are over 200 students at Colchester North, and they all wore different coloured T-shirts (blue, yellow, red, and green) during the event, which divided the students into teams and helped them integrate with everyone. Petta herself was in blue.
Petta said she organized a ‘math day’ at a school in Windsor and that it went over very well. Problem solving and working with technology, she said, helps the students think of math in a different way. The special day was also part of Colchester North’s School Improvement
Plan, which has a theme at each school. “We picked math because in the province of Ontario we are struggling with math,” Petta said. Students not only did a lot of hands on exercises on Friday, but they were able to fill out follow up surveys as well.

Tree planting recognizes efforts of Essex Optimists
Members of the Town of Essex and of the Essex Optimist show off the two new trees recently planted in the Bridlewood Optimist Park.
by Shelbey Hernandez The Town of Essex and members of the Essex Optimist Club gathered inside Bridlewood Optimist Park last week to host a ceremony that recognized the donation of two sturdy oak trees. Ken Neil, the previous Optimist Governor of Southwestern Ontario, was the individual who initiated this tree planting. Neil was the governor two years ago, and as an avid arborist, he wanted to take the opportunity to recognize those who work on improving their communities. For him, there was no better way to do that than to provide these clubs with trees.
The Essex Optimist Club received two trees for its efforts. One tree was planted in recognition of members starting a club in British Columbia. The other tree recognized the more than 30 years of service club members have contributed. These trees were planted in Bridlewood Optimist Park, and the official ceremony commenced on October 26, a fitting location, according to the members of the Essex Optimist Club. “We actually built this park back in the ‘80s,” Sandy Larivee, the Treasurer for the Essex Optimist Club said. She noted the club maintained it for many years, and installed the original playground. “So it’s been known as Bridlewood Optimist Park since the 1980s. That is why it was the logical location to put the trees here since this was our main park.”
The Town of Essex recently installed a new playground in the park for area youth to enjoy. Mayor Ron McDermott said there has been some vandalism problems with the parks in Essex, especially at Bridlewood, which requires residents of the area to be vigilant. However, although the trees are just sprouts at this point, the staff at the Town of Essex see their potential for changing the face of Bridlewood. Essex’s Director of Community Services Doug Sweet said these trees, along with the new park that was put in, are steps towards revitalization. Sweet took the time to noted partnerships like this are appreciated and allow the Town to enhance its parks. “It will take a few years, but as they grow, this will be another amenity that this playground needs. We always appreciate working together.” Aside from the revitalization, Sweet also said the trees will help with reforestation. The Town of Essex recently put in a formal policy to ensure uprooted trees are immediately replaced. Planting these two trees are steps towards reforestation of the community. The Essex Optimist Club is always busy. For Halloween, it had pumpkin carving event. With Christmas just around the corner, members of the service club are expecting to host the annual Santa’s Elves Workshop. The Club also hosts the annual youth appreciation event that recognizes outstanding youth in April.

Lt. Andrew Byrne hands over command by Fred Groves After three years as the Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy Sea Cadets in Windsor, Essex’s Andrew Byrne handed the chain of responsibility off last week. At a ceremony at the HMCS Hunter, Lt. Byrne will now be able to concentrate on a couple of jobs that he takes just as seriously. Byrne, 26, an Essex District High School grad, is a full-time Windsor firefighter and farmer who will continue to be an important instructor with the local cadets. “It’s going to be nice to
step back and not make the final decisions,” Byrne said from his home in Gesto. That said, he does know what he is going to miss about being in charge. “Everybody comes to you for an answer. It’s a great feeling to have them trust you.” Byrne and a friend joined the Sea Cadets when they were 14. Four short years later, he made the decision to stay on, become an officer, and hit the water. “My specialty was sailing. I joined in 2003 as a cadet. I have travelled across the country,” he said.
That has included six months in British Columbia, time in Halifax, and for three summers, he taught sailing at the Royal Military College in Kingston. Seamanship, naval history, physical fitness, and leadership are all part of the Cadets program. While Byrne will not be at the helm, he will take over being in charge of supply. Not too long ago, he contemplated joining the Canadian military on a full-time basis. However, farming full-time and getting on with the Windsor Fire Department has put that idea on hold. “There was a point when I thought about it. My grandparents said do it now while I’m still young.” Despite not being trained as a firefighter, his schooling in construction engineering, and his leadership and decision making skills as a Naval Officer, made the career a good fit.

“They liked the construction side of it because now when I go into a building, I know how it is built. You have to know how to go in and tear down a structure without it falling down on you,” he said. So, what’s next for Lt. Andrew Byrne, the officer, firefighter, and farmer? Well, sitting at his kitchen table he was ready to take in a few hours of sleep before going into the field to harvest this year’s crop.

Essex United Church hosts Halloween-themed evening by Shelbey Hernandez Members of Essex United Church hosted ‘An Evening of Spooktacular Music,’ a haunting Halloween event last Friday evening. Members of the community were invited to participate in all the activities the event offered in the church basement. In the celebration of the event, a Halloween spectacle, the church members dressed in costume and many of the audience members were, too. In addition to a costume parade, prizes and Halloween candy were available. There were also performances of all kinds, including singers, scary stories, poetry, and piano recitals; but the main source of entertainment was the organists. The Windsor Essex and Chatham Centres of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO) played a wide range of spooky tunes meant to engage the audience and make them see the organ in a much different way. “The organ is a grand instrument, it’s an instrument that’s been around for hundreds of hundreds of years and not many people are familiar with what the instrument can do, except perhaps when they go to church and they hear it accompanying the choir and accompanying the hymns,” Paul Wharram, the President of the Windsor Essex Centre for the RCCO, said. “The organ has a much more diverse sound to it that many people aren’t aware of, so this is an opportunity to make the organ a little bit more user-friendly and a little bit more relatable to the general public.

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch Do fools rush? I think I have to admit that old saying, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” applies to myself. I have been aware of that most of my life. I got it from another source, such as my parents asking me in scolding tones, “Didn’t you know better than to do that?” When the examiner at one of my driving tests had asked me about the driving I was doing, I told her, “Wherever and whenever I wanted.” Others were saying they drove only to shop nearby, for appointments, and in the daytime. At that time, I would drive in downtown Toronto. Many among my group of friends who were
younger than I would not drive in Windsor and certainly not on that bypass. No, I am not boasting. I fully realize it is prudent to be cautious, I just do not like to feel restricted. I always felt that those who hesitated were limiting their opportunities. Yes; I have had some scary experiences. I have been using that bypass frequently lately, and I saw the potential for an accident the other day when a driver wanting to pass cut me off very closely. No, I am not saying there is nothing I would be afraid to do. Indeed, there is, but I am not going into that now. All I am trying to admit is that I do not always use wise and prudent judgment. Have I ever had a problem? Yes, like the time I tried to drive down a restricted alley and my car slid sideways and was lodged in position. I paid the price that time. I had to use the jack to heave it up so I could push it into a suitable position. That took some effort, spiced with some fear that I might not succeed. Did I? Yes. Did I learn a lesson? Not really; I like adventure.

Over 1000 sleuths help solve CTMHV’s murder mystery by Sylene Argent There can sometimes be an eerie atmosphere that surrounds nightfall during autumn, when wind rustles through nearly bare branches, producing whistling noises and casting shadows that can cause imaginations to jump to creative conclusions. On Saturday evening, just a few days before Halloween, the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village used that eerie atmosphere to enhance the ambiance of its annual Murder Mystery event. Organizers were pleased the warmer weather, and the event reputation, attracted over 1000 participants. The Museum uses the Heritage Village area to host the annual Murder Mystery. Volunteer actors, portraying characters in the story plot, dressed in period clothing and set themselves up in one of the historic buildings onsite. The opportunity not only Continued on Page 15

Essex United Church hosts Halloween-themed evening... Many selections were played during the event, including a Teddy Bear Picnic, a few Harry Potter selections, as well as tunes from television shows. Particularly for the television shows, the audience was told they could guess aloud what theme song was being played. The
packed audience took full advantage of that opportunity. “It’s something different because people think of organ music as either dull or funeral-like, but none of the pieces tonight will be that,” Susan TuckSweetman with the church said. “It’s just fun, happy stuff and scary
stuff and spooky stuff. It’s a different look at music in the church. The congregation audience can also say church music isn’t boring or the organists aren’t just boring. They can play other things.” The event was a freewill offering event, making it so anyone

could attend. In fact, representatives from the Downtown Mission were present, making it one of their many stops during a field trip they were on that day. All funds from the event went to two specific causes: the RCCO education fund and the Essex United Church roof campaign.
Members of Essex United Church partnered with organists of the Windsor Essex and Chatham Centres of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO) to host a freewill offering, Halloween extravaganza on Friday evening. In addition to offering music, the spooky event also had storytellers and poetry reciters onsite. It raised money for the RCCO and the church’s roof fund.
The RCCO fund in particular goes towards scholarships the RCCO gives out for young pianists learning how to play the organ. These scholarships give ten free lessons to these pianists.
The roof fund will help pay for the new roof the church required. They have already replaced the roof, but the free-will donations helped make up for the cost.

Over 1000 sleuths help solve CTMHV’s murder mystery...

allowed the participants an opportunity to interview the characters as sleuths in an attempt to try and figure out who the murder was in the unique story plot, it also allows them a chance to visit the historic buildings onsite. The huge turnout this year had sleuthing participants lined up
outside each of the buildings used during the event as participants waited for a chance to interrogate the characters in their quest to solve the murder. The gossips were on hand again this year, spreading information, or possibly rumours, to the event participants;
Voice Of Inspiration “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.” ~ Harvey Fierstein
either making solving the murder a little easier or a little more difficult. This year’s Murder Mystery was entitled “Till Death do us Part.” It took place in October of 1899 in the small town of Olinda, which has had a string of murders. The participating sleuths were onsite to solve the most recent murder of a woman, who has many enemies and friends. The visiting sleuths had until 9 p.m. that night to visit each station set up inside the Heritage Village. They were given time to fill out a ballot to proclaim who they thought was the murderer. Those who appointed the correct character were
entered into a draw for a chance to win a prize. Events like the Murder Mystery are hosted as a way to engage the community about what the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village does, and the artifacts and historical homes it houses. These events typically act as a fundraiser for the Museum’s Children’s Education Program. A long list of local students visit the Museum every year to get a handson history lesson through the Museum’s Children’s Educational Program. Museum volunteers are currently selling raffle tickets for this year’s car raffle. The winning ticket,
to be drawn at the annual New Year’s Eve Party, will receive this year’s prize, a white ’65 Corvair. The CTMHV is always looking for volunteers. Anyone

ECS turning a negative into a positive by Sylene Argent A few area businesses and clients have said they would step up and forward donations to Essex Community Services to help replace part of the proceeds of its 8th annual Chili Cook off that were claimed to have been stolen recently. Essex Community Services Executive Director Kelly Stack was pleased a few businesses and clients have stepped up to contribute to the local, non-profit organization. Representatives of Essex Animal Hospital had noted this local business
would step up to forward a donation via Facebook. Its Facebook page noted its representatives would forwarded $250, and encourage other organizations to support ECS as well. When Stack claimed she discovered the Chili Cook Off proceeds had been stolen, around $2500, she said more than just the money was taken. The loss of the funds took away from the programs and services it provides the community. The money was going be put into vehicles used for its transportation services. Essex Community
Services offers along roster of services and programs to the community, including transportation, foot care clinics, security reassurance and friendly visiting, and the community closet that offers needed household items and non-perishable food to those waiting for support from other services. It also collects items for Coats for Kids. Stack said Essex Community Services has
changed some policies to eliminate anything like this ever happening again. She said that though the situation is sad, Essex Community Services has gained some exposure with its recent successful Chili Cook Off, and have had individuals inquire about the services it offers. “So, there is a positive in all the negative,” she said.
Love you! ~ Wife Rosella and Family

A teenager with a 1949 Monarch sedan
All original 1949 Monarch 4-door sedan spotted about twenty years ago behind a barn in southern Ontario. This is what Lynn’s Monarch looked like before he got his hands on it.
Lynn Nash was born in the early ‘40s and got his driver’s license in the late 50s while living near Hamilton, Ontario. And once you got your license, you just had to get a car. “My first car was a ’49 Monarch. I took what was a nice 4-door sedan, stripped off all the chrome and door handles, hood and deck handles, took all the vertical bars from the grille, put ’58 Chev taillights on it, a solenoid to open doors etc., ’54 Merc engine, straight through Hollywood Glaspaks (would it ever pop coming down Hwy. 20 off the escarpment!), purple lights in the inside windshield corners, red ones inside both front doors, black paint, lowered chassis, ’54 Chev spinners (ownership hazy), and hand-painted red goopy upholstery that dried like parchment. I could beat the kid with the ’40 Ford coupe with a Dodge Red Ram in it in the quarter mile up Mud Street. “By all that’s holy, I should never have made it to age 21! And of course there was the Stoney Creek Dairy and the Fish & Chips place down on the beach where we farm kids would get into it with the toughs from the Beach Strip. The stories go on and on…” Lynn’s 1949 Monarch was built in Windsor, Ontario, headquarters of Ford of Canada since 1904. The first Monarchs came out in 1946 with their name reflecting the close ties between Canada and Britain during World War Two. The Monarch was the Canadian version of the Mercury and by 1947 was sold through 760 FordMonarch dealers all across Canada. Another 353 dealers sold the Mercury, Lincoln, and Mercury trucks. When Lynn’s ’49 Monarch 4-door sedan was new, it cost $2635 and had a 255 cubic inch flathead V8 under the hood capable of producing 110 horsepower. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy Lynn. Out came the flathead and in went a ’54 Mercury overhead-valve V8 with 256 cubic inches cranking out a tire-squealing 161 horsepower. No wonder Lynn was able to beat that ’40 Ford coupe with the Dodge Red Ram engine! A total of 11,317 Monarchs were built for the 1949 model year. These cars are highly collectible today. 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.”

73’s Grab four points
Quinn Fazekas is grabbed on a breakaway during Essex’s “Pink at the Rink” game Tuesday.
Blades beat Essex 1-0. It looked like the Blades would hand Essex their fourth loss of the year for much of the first period. Essex goalie Matt Badour was beaten twice in three minutes with soft goals. The veterans for Essex stepped up and responded, with Eric Shaw capitalizing on the power play with
five minutes to go in the period. Riley Meyerink scored with 0.2 seconds remaining in the frame as he was left unmarked beside the net. After a scoreless middle frame, Essex used speed and elusiveness to baffle the Blades defenders and draw costly penalties, which Essex made sure to capitalize on. McConville
scored two minutes into the period. To close out the game, Matthew Rosati added an insurance marker, blasting a shot in with the man advantage. Essex prevailed with a final score of 4-2 and outshot the Blades 34-17. Essex now sits seven points back of the first place Blenheim Blades, with five games at hand.

Essex began the week on Tuesday against the Wheatley Omstead Sharks. The night was the sixth annual “Pink at the Rink” night, which is a game dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer. Essex players hit the ice donning pink jerseys which were later sold off. In the game, 73’s
rookie Blake McConville opened the scoring midway through the first period, one of his three points on the night. Five minutes later, William Stadder added the first of his two goals on the night, to double his team’s lead. To close out the period, Mitch Prudence beat Essex goalie Tyler Ryan. The first period, and game as a whole, was physical with each team not shying away from throwing the body and landing some massive blows. Period two was similar to the first 20 minutes of the game with Essex drastically outshot the
Sharks 13-6 in the period and 30-19 after two periods. Essex scored two goals midway through the frame before the Sharks scored a pair of their own. However, Tyler Boughner beat Sharks goalie Eric Morneau with a snapshot to close out the frame and restore his team’s two goal lead. In the third period, the teams exchanged goals but the Sharks were unable to mount a comeback and fell 6-4 to Essex. To close out the week, Essex traveled to Blenheim to face the first place Blades.

EDHS Red Raiders improve to 8-0 by Fred Groves Three games in four days might have slowed the Essex District High School senior girls’ basketball team for a few minutes; but once the players got going, there was no stopping them on Thursday afternoon. Within the confines of their own gym, the Red Raiders slipped behind 10-6 after the first quarter, but rebounded to beat the Lajeunesse Royals 43-26. This was the eighth straight WECSSAA Tier 1 win for Essex, which leads its division at 8-0. It was a busy week indeed for the senior hoopers. They beat host Belle River Nobles 57-27 last Monday, and
took down the previously undefeated ‘AAA’ Saints 37-29 the next day at St. Anne’s. Having to play three games in four days meant Essex’s players had to rely a great deal on their bench, to which Coach Joe Amicarelli is glad he can go. “We are an 11-person team and we need everyone to contribute to succeed,” Amicarelli said after Monday’s win over the Nobles. While the Red Raiders are having one of their best seasons in a long time, they do have their flaws, including turnovers and sometimes, especially early in the game, not converting on easy layups.
Vanessa Gualdieri plays strong defence against the Royals.
Essex Ravens Novice Major hockey action submitted to EFP The Ravens played five league games over the last week staring with Sunday, October 23 against Erie North Shore. Essex took the lead in the first period against Erie North Shore on a goal by Sean W who popped in his own rebound. Another rebound goal by Braeden C on an initial shot by Meredith C gave Essex a 2-0 lead in the second period. Unfortunately, Erie stormed back in the third period, tying the game at 2-2 for a final. On Wednesday, the team travelled to Tilbury to face the Kent Cobras. A quick start had the Ravens up by a score of 3-0 after two minutes of play. Scoring for Essex was Cade S and two from Wyatt G. Sean W recorded a hat trick with the third goal coming on a sweet pass from Jaclyn W. Final score was 6-3 Essex. On Friday night, Essex hosted Riverside. A solid team effort lead the Ravens to a 4-2 victory. The team learned that putting the puck on net is always a great idea with two of the four goals coming on rebounds. Timely, solid goaltending by Reed V and lock down defense by a rotation of five defensemen kept the Riverside team from mounting a comeback. All in all, a fine performance against a team the Ravens are sure to see a lot of in the future. Essex faced the LaSalle Sabres on Saturday night. The Ravens were down 1-0 early in the game, but responded with a goal by Sean W to even the score at 1-1 after the first period. Late in the second period Evan M did his best Bobby Orr impression, skated end to end, finishing with a snipe glove side. The Sabres evened the score in the third period, for a 2-2 final. On Sunday, the Ravens played Riverside. It was the third game in as many nights for Essex and it showed. Essex played sloppy with players doing things individually rather than passing and using their linemates. Owen S and Braeden C each scored for Essex in a game that ended in a 2-2 tie. The team would like to congratulate the Atom Minors and their former teammate Eddie H on winning the regional Silverstick tournament – great job!

“Our Achilles heel is we don’t shoot well in the paint,” Amicarelli commented. That said, EDHS boasts one of the best starting five in WECSSAA that includes Grade 12 Captain Lucia McElwain, Grade 12 forward Caileigh Chauvin, Kristen St. Pierre, and Grade 10 students Kim Orton and Finley McElwain. It’s a young team, but one that has a chance to win WECSSAA, advance to SWOSSAA, and who knows, maybe win a spot at OFSAA, which Belle River will host with some games staged in Essex. “We have to play one game at a time, do we have a chance? Sure,” Amicarelli said. Against the Royals on Thursday, Essex was having trouble containing Lauren Golding, who had 20 points for
the visitors. However, a shift defensively made a big difference in the second half for the winners. Offensively, Lucia McElwain led the way with 16 points, while her sister, Finely, netted 10. Chauvin had another strong game, netting 11. Despite showing fatigue in the early goings, the Red Raiders came to life in a big way in the third quarter after Finley McElwain made a three-pointer and then hit Chauvin with a seeing-eye pass in the paint for two points. Essex hosted Holy Names on Tuesday, and will wrap up its regular 10game schedule today (Thursday) when it hosts Sandwich.
