by Sylene Argent Members of Essex District High School’s Rotary Interact are celebrating the first anniversary of this youth-orientated service club. The club was founded last year as a way for local high school students to fundraise for a local cause in addition to continuing showing support for EDHS’s sister school in Maforeka. “We re 48 strong,” John Garinger said of the group. The
former EDHS teacher returns to the school weekly to help coordinate the club with the students. The Rotary Interact Club has made a splash in the community since its inception through not only hosting fundraisers, but lending a hand to support other local organizations as needed. For instance, members of the Rotary Interact Club assisted the Essex Centre BIA when it hosted its first “Fall in Love with our
Local Street Party,” at the end of September. The Rotary Interact Club has many new members this year, and that is believed because getting involved in this group is not too strenuous on the high school class schedule and provides students with an outlet to get involved and make a difference not only in their own back yard, but in the world, too. Garinger shared a story with the students recently about
Safi Charles, who was able to become a teacher at Shengbeh Pieh Memorial Secondary School in Hamilton, Freetown. Garinger explained EDHS is very familiar with Charles and her daughter, Theo. In 2012 they were “adopted” and were help by local efforts. As a result, Charles enrolled in school, graduated, and became a teacher. This is an example of how local support can

Local Triathlete Lionel Sanders speaks to Essex Mayor Ron McDermott during the unveiling of a sign in Harrow that recognizes his accomplishments.
by Adam Gault The Town of Essex recognized Harrow native, and worldclass triathlete, Lionel Sanders on Wednesday, November 1. During an official celebration, a new town welcome sign was unveiled in Harrow, which honours his 2016 world record Ironman Triathlon completion. “Today we are honoured to recognize one of our fastest and most tenacious citizens,” Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said, welcoming guests to the unveiling ceremony. “In the world of sports, Lionel Sanders is a world-class athlete, who continuously exceeds all expectations.” The Essex Municipal “Harrow Centre” sign is located at the corner of Walker Road and the 3rd Concession. It now features an addition that recognizes Sanders’s previously held worldrecord time of 7:44:29 at the 2016 Ironman Arizona, where he beat the record that had stood strong for five years prior. Sanders most recently came in second in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii on October 14. “It’s a real honour for me, I grew up in this town, I love this town,” Sanders said as the sign
was unveiled. “This is a dream come true, really; this is what I’m living my life for, to inspire people to do the best they can do.” Describing how growing up in Harrow played a large role in making him into the determined athlete he is today, Sanders spoke of his experiences in working with stone masons at a summer job he held in high school. “Those are some of the toughest guys I ever met working in that industry,” Sanders said. “I really do reflect back on those experiences and draw on those experiences now, and I try to strive to be as tough as I can be.” Sanders also cycled 10 km each way to work at the Harrow Research and Development Centre at the end of high school, as well as back-and-forth between Harrow and Colchester. “Just tons and tons of experiences that I still draw upon today,” Sanders said. After overcoming addiction issues several years ago, and focusing his energy on excelling at his sport, Sanders hopes he’ll serve as inspiration to those who themselves are struggling to turn their lives around and break their own bad habits.
“I hope they take this as proof that you can do anything you want, I truly believe that with hard work and perseverance, and you truly want to do
whatever it is you want to do, you can do it.” Sanders will compete at the Ironman Arizona Triathlon on November 19.

OPINION & COMMENT The opinions expressed on these pages are those of their original authors and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Essex Free Press, its Editor or Publisher.
This Saturday, many of us will head down to our local cenotaphs to participate in Remembrance Day services. And, I hope attendance will be great. It is a Saturday, but I hope the majority of residents see attending Remembrance Day ceremonies as more important than enjoying an afternoon at home. We owe so much to our veterans and fallen soldiers. I have written that in this column before, and will do that again this week. Every week I write my column, even if it is about a non-important issue, I take pride in being able to voice my opinion. I especially enjoy seeing the youth interact with our veterans at the annual ceremony at the cenotaph. For the past few years, local students have handed out letters to our veterans. Smiles are always abundant while they hand them out. It is a precious moment to witness. I think that connection, between youth and our veterans, is critical. We need to keep our young persons interested in wanting to learn about
our history and those who fought for the freedom we enjoy in Canada today. Without our youth caring, the sacrifices our veterans made will surely be forgotten one day. And, that would be a terrible thing. I hope our freedom never gets taken for granted and that, of course, it is never lost. I used to think Remembrance Day should be a holiday to celebrate our veterans, but my mind was quickly changed after talking to the daughter of a veteran years ago. She had mentioned that her fear was that over time, the day would be recognized as just a holiday and its meaning would eventually be forgotten. If businesses close for an hour so on Remembrance Day, people are more likely to head down to the cenotaph, the odds to ensure we all remember well into the future are greater. The Essex Centre Remembrance Day ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 11. Legion members and veterans will march from the Essex Branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion (Branch 201), beginning at 9:45 a.m. At 10 a.m., a service will be held at Essex United Church. And, at 11 a.m., our veterans and their supporters will gather at the Essex cenotaph for the official wreath laying ceremony. For those unable to attend a Remembrance Day ceremony, I hope they take a moment to think about what freedom means to them and about the lives that sacrificed so much so we can enjoy today. Thinking about life without freedom is gut-wrenching. I am so grateful for the sacrifices made so that I can vote, voice my opinion, and make my own life-decisions. I cannot imagine a life where those things were not available to us as Canadians. To our veterans and fallen soldiers, I thank you for your service.

Letter to the Editor... In July, 2017, I had a knee replacement at Windsor Regional Hospital. My family and I were amazed at the medical expertise we have right here in Canada. The completely professional and caring staff members were willing to listen to our concerns and kept our spirits up with their humbleness and tremendous sense of humour. I specifically want to thank those involved. They were like angels to me and gave me a new life: The knee surgeon, all doctors, nurse practitioners, and staff at Windsor Regional Hospital and North Walkerville Medical Centre.
This potentially terrifying experience has instead become a life-learning experience, and I want to share my newfound belief; that these life-saving professionals absolutely do not warrant the present Liberal Government’s efforts to cap their wages or lay them off in an effort to undo their economic mistakes. To do so, is cutting off the hands that save our lives, and will, ultimately, drive our great medical professionals out of Canada. In contrast, you just gave $10.5 million to someone

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch Remembering There has been considerable debate over the reports of the holocaust over the years. It is now more than 70 years since World War II in Europe ended. This report is a memorial to the millions who were murdered, raped, starved, beaten, used as experiments, and, at the least, humiliated, while the rest of the world looked away. In my home, we talked about it, but we saw no way we could do anything about it except for the war that was raging. I watched the midnight news every time to hear what progress the Armed Forces was making.
More than ever, with Iran and others questioning the Holocaust, it is imperative that the world never forgets. How many years hence will some declare the attack on the World Trade Centre never happened because such claim offends some people, or there may be those who decide the past is not politically correct?

Letter to the Editor... Schinkels’ Meat Market moving The rumours could be true, depending on which ones you are listening to. So, let me set the record straight. Schinkels’ Meat Market is moving! About 8 years ago, we purchased the building at 24 Talbot St., which you
would know as The Essex Party & Discount Store. At that time, we felt that our growth potential was limited because we did not have a parking lot. We have proven ourselves wrong, we have grown, and now need more elbow room. A different location was explored first, but
was quickly abandoned when it was discovered the landlord had a ‘no competition clause’ with another tenant. The 24 Talbot Street location was then chosen as our best available option, although
it had the finance issues of owning over renting. Purchasing during the great recession was an even greater challenge, but thanks to Burstyn’s for believing in us, they financed the sale of their

like Omar Khadr, who has not contributed anything to the betterment of Canada. Where are your priorities? Why are we punishing our own dedicated life-savers when we should be giving them well deserved bonuses? Members of the Government need to realize that they, or members of their families, might one day need our medical professionals. In physio, their logo is “No Pain, No Gain,” with the present government, there is no gain, but just pain. As a Canadian tax paying Citizen, I strongly urge the Trudeau Government to stop spending my tax contributions on the wrong priorities. In the next elections, elect the party that will work for Canadians first, and make Canada great again. Thank you, Dave Patterson, Kingsville, Ont.
Great Memories This is an ‘I remember when’ comment! Few people owned a purebred dog and we were one of the families that had one. It was a collie and we had it shipped to us from Manitoba. It was an excellent farm dog when it was fully grown. We could send it to bring the cows at milking time. The only trouble was that the dog chased them too fast. That was back in the days when anyone would pick up a penny that was in the mud. Our nylons were two separate legs because pantyhose had not been made. In those days, an attendant would clean your windshield after pumping the gas without being asked to do so. We never had to pay for air being pumped into the tires and the attendant checked to be sure it was needed. Way back then, we got trading stamps, but there are similar gimmicks today. Right now, I am thinking I am going to have a hard time finding something to write about for next week. Have you got any ideas?
building. As landlords, we were blessed to inherit wonderful tenants. Brian and Sally have built a great business with an extensive selection of products and wonderful, friendly staff. After 8 years, Schinkels’ decided the time was right for the move. Brian’s request to extend the lease was denied. We regretfully knew this would mean the end of Essex Party & Discount. Our town will miss them very much. We do wish the best to Brian & Sally, who plan to enjoy their retirement. We also have agreed to Brian’s request to give the
Essex Party & Discount staff preferential treatment when hiring at the new Schinkels’ Meat Market. So, you want to know when this will all happen? The Essex Party & Discount lease will run out March 31, 2018. At that point, the building will need extensive renovations before Schinkels’ can move in. We will keep you informed of our progress, but hope for an early fall 2018 opening date.

feedback heard from those who attended noted the youth involved with the club make up for a fantastic group of young people and that they had done a nice job on the event. The students will host a pasta dinner for Maforeka at the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201) on November 20. It is hoped the community attends the event in droves. On the evening of Saturday, December 9, the students will collect letters to Santa at the annual Essex Centre Santa Claus Parade. The students, who are looking to also handout candy canes along the parade route, will join the Essex Rotary Club, a parent-organization of sorts, during the parade.

This event is intended to promote healthier, active communities in WindsorEssex County with a simple 15-minute walk at various locations. At approximately 12:10 pm, on Wednesday October 4, EPS students came together outside and all classes walked the track once or as many times as their schedule permitted. Parents and guardians were welcomed to join us to walk as a family. Thanks to Mrs. Sarah Newton from the Town of Essex, and one of EPS’s parents, for this opportunity and for the prizes. Coaches were pleased by the performance of the 2017 EPS cross country team on Thursday, October 5 at the countywide races. The Phoenix team members were on fire

On Monday October 16, the Phoenix Boys’ Soccer team entered into the game of their careers. The Phonix team was ready for a fight and the Gosfield team was going for gold in a battle that raged for over an hour. The goal attempts rained down and both goalies were on fire; no one could crack the brick wall. Time ran down and energy faded. In the last five seconds of the second overtime, an unfortunate bounce resulted in a breakaway and Gosfield claimed the championship banner with a golden goal. Congratulations Phoenix on a fantastic second place finish. On Friday, October 20, Essex Public School held its annual READ-ATHON / WALK-A-THON day.

The Kite ( Patrick Quinn ) I am a mighty kite, soaring up to the sky, moving like the birds, for I know I can fly. I feel so very alive, for I am finally free, in my home far away, no one can harm me. I’ve waited all my life, for the wind to blow, and take me far away, from the world below. All the guilt I carried, seems so silly from here, so I leave it all behind, and with it my last tear. Way up in the clouds, emotions can’t hurt me, once holding me captive, dying love set me free. The sky is my refuge, and the wind is my wing, nothing to hold me back, except for the string.

Essex Council Notes for Monday, November 6 by Sylene Argent and Adam Gault Moment of Silence Essex Council began its November 6 meeting with a moment of silence in recognition of the upcoming Remembrance Day services to be held on Saturday. Communications Manager appointed Essex CAO Donna Hunter was pleased to welcome Alex Denonville as the Town’s Communication’s Manager. Most recently, he was the Events Planner with ERCA where he organized community events. He is a graduate of Wilford University. A bylaw was later passed at the meeting to make the appointment official. Extension of Integrity Commissioner Report Council authorized an extension to the Integrity Commissioner agreement between the Town and Robert J. Swayze to April 3, 2018. CAO Donna Hunter said the contract was up on November 3. She said she got a sense Council may want to go through an RFP process. This six-month extension will allow the Town to go through a procurement process. The Town pays Swayze for the work he does and does not provide a retainer. Councillor Randy Voakes voiced how he recently had two months worth of Council pay taken away due to report from the Integrity Commissioner-based on complaints made from other members of Council, but now Council may want to seek another individual through a procurement process. Site Plan Control Approval for pavilion Council approved site plan approval for the Essex Centre pavilion. The pavilion is a joint-project between the Essex Centre BIA and the Town of Essex. It will be placed in the Heritage Gardens Park. Bylaw 1651 was also adopted to
approve three readings for the issuance of tenders for the construction of the pavilion. The report to Council notes the need for the pavilion was highlighted 2014 Stempski Kelly Associates Inc. Streetscape report. The Essex Centre BIA has dedicated $150,000 to its construction. The Town has permitted the use of land and will contribute $100,000. Councillor Randy Voakes asked what the timeframe looks like in getting the pavilion installed. Nine contractors attended a recent site-meeting, Doug Sweet, Director of Community Services said. He anticipates a spring build. He said once it is awarded, the time-line will be discussed. Ward 1 development Council received “Ward 1 Development – 1) Highway 3 and County Road 8, and 2) Cost of Waiving Development Charges for Ward 1.” Council requested this report at the September 18 meeting. It was in regards to vacant property at Highway 3 and County Road 8 and its development plan status. It was asked that the report include an analysis of the amount of taxable revenue that this area, fully developed, would have provided for the Town over the past ten years in addition to the cost of potentially waiving development charges for Ward 1. Councillor Randy Voakes had wanted the report in the past as he believed major tax dollars have been lost over the years as this particular parcel is undeveloped. He hoped the report would build a case as to whether or not the Town should waive development fees for that area to induce building of commercial or residential properties. Jeff Morrison, Director of Finance and Business Services, noted the report was filled with assumptions and estimates as there were many possible variables. A lot
of information was also gathered, when coming up with possible tax revenues for the parcel. The report highlighted the 2017 Development Charges for Ward 1 within the Town of Essex are $10,456 per Single and Semi-Detached Dwelling. He estimated, in the report, that the potential financial impact to the 2018 Operating Budget, if Council were to move forward with eliminating development charges in Ward 1, can be estimated to fall between $105 thousand and $1.8 million, depending on the number of new homes built. This would be funded through a combination of wastewater revenue from Ward 1 and taxes levied on residents in all wards. Councillor Randy Voakes said he appreciates the report, but didn’t understand a word of it. The bottom line was to see if it would make sense to waive the development fee. Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said Voakes was preaching to Council and slamming administration. “Just be respectful to our staff,” he said. Donna Hunter, CAO, said she knows the number of hours that went into it, she thought Voakes’s comment was disrespectful. Voakes responded that he wasn’t being disrespectful. He thanked administration for the report, but noted he didn’t understand it because he is not an accountant. He assumed the majority of Council didn’t understand the report either. He asked Council to consider waiving development charges for that land for one time. He suspects in a five to six year period, the funding would be recovered through those taxes once it is established. Councillor Ron Rogers suggested putting a time limit on it. Councillor Sherry Bondy said it is frustrating when Council members do not listen. She said she understood the report. She said for every home built, there are expenses. Larry Snively said he would not support waiving development fee in Essex Centre. He said he supports any developer moving in here. He said he supported waiving fees in Harrow, for specific reasons of need there. Council should do what it is good for the community. Voakes felt that Council is not open-minded on the issue and that there are many opportunities that could
be explored there, such as commercial development. He said he used housing as an example. The original site plan called for commercial usage, too, Voakes said. CAO Donna Hunter said there are development charges on commercial properties, but not industrial opportunities. Council received the report. Further, Councillor Voakes asked Council to waive the development charges for vacant commercial/residential property in that area for 90 days. In a recorded vote, Councillors Voakes and Rogers were in support, and Mayor McDermott, Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche, and Councillors Bondy and Snively were opposed. With a voted of 2-5 opposed, the motion was defeated. A little tiff between McDermott and Voakes broke out when McDermott cut Voakes off at another instance he was speaking. Voakes said he only gotten a few words out. The Mayor cut him off because he said Voakes typically doesn’t stick to the motion. Voakes continued, and point out that waived development charges in Leamington and struggling areas in Windsor were implemented in the past and proven to be successful. Proposed zoning bylaw revisions Council received the Planning Department’s report, “Proposed Zoning Bylaw Revisions” and plans to host a public meeting on Monday, November 20 to garner public input to change the Town’s General Zoning Bylaw 1037. 4-way stop at Walnut Street and Centre Street East Council received the review of the placement of a 4-way stop sign at the intersection of Walnut Street and Centre Street East. Council also approved “stop ahead” signs and oversized stop signs be installed on Centre Street to improve awareness. The Town will also request the OPP increase enforcement of the area. Council requested a review of this intersection at the November 7, 2016, and further requested a review at the October 2, 2017 meeting as Councillor Larry Snively thought it was a means for safety. The report to Council noted the guidelines and warrants for installing signs examine the traffic volumes, crash history, traffic flow and sight distance at

Based on a site survey and current traffic patterns, there is no indication that traffic volumes or sight lines are issues. In addition, there have not been any reported accidents at the intersection going back to 2002, the report notes. Information can continue to be collected, Essex’s Director of Infrastructure Chris Nepszy added. CRS Certification Norm Nussio, Assistant

Snively said there are roads that are a mess. He said he had residents count 200 dump trucks on one road. They have been told to lower the third axel to distribute weight properly, and they don’t do it, he claimed. As a taxpayer, Snively said to pay $120,000$140,000 per km to do a road is unfair to taxpayers if damage is done this way. When the roads are soft due to hot weather, they are coming down loaded,
he added. Right now, he said he thinks there is $1000 retainer if bringing down fill. “What does that fix?” he asked. He knows the MTO has been notified. “I’m not going to sit by and watch our roads get destroyed,” he said. “Somehow we have to police this.” Chris Nepszy said enforcement is always the toughest issue. He said when Essex’s supervisors or managers see these issues, they try to talk to the drivers. A bylaw has been in the works with the Clerk’s department with an upfront retainer. “Then we have a pot of money to use if the road is damaged.” NoM re: cannabis retail opportunity Councillor Ron Rogers brought forward a Notice of Motion that the Town proceed with whatever needs to be done through provincial mandate to get the Town out there as a candidate for a potential cannabis retail store in the urban area of the municipality; more specifically, Harrow. Discussion came about this when Council received correspondence from the Ministry of
Finance regarding Ontario’s framework to govern the lawful use and retail distribution of nonmedical cannabis by July of 2018. Location of Banner Poles for Harrow Centre Council decided on the location of the Harrow banner poles from the motion put forward at the October 16 regular council meeting. Councillor Sherry Bondy stated the Harrow Chamber of Commerce had recommended the proposed location at the corner of Queen and Munger. “They felt it should be in Town, not outside of Town,” Bondy explained of the Chamber’s decision. Councillor Snively said that he supported that recommendation. The motion carried.

Water and Sanitary Sewer Rates Council voted to provisionally adopt Bylaw 1653 on the subject of water and sanitary sewer rates and changes. Councillor Sherry Bondy requested CAO Hunter explain the reason for the difference in rates between some of the municipal wards. Hunter explained that several years ago, the Town had received a wastewater review, and had used the standard of 175 cubic metres as the average per household across the entire municipality. The Town realized that the average in some wards was much lower than the 175 cubic metre average. “What we had to do in order to ensure that our reserves were coming up to where they should

Gosfield North Communications supports five students with bursaries
by Sylene Argent On Monday, October 30, Gosfield North Communications recognized the hard work and dedication of five local students who are committed to their studies. Members of the Board of Directors and staff were pleased to hand-out bursaries to Cottam students Matt Van Dijk, Megan Simon, Chase Baillargeon, James Beattie, and Brenna Denduik. These local students, and 2017 bursary winners, are expanding their education at post-secondary institutions. The financial contributions will surely alleviate some financial stress students can endure in the process. Gosfield North Communications, every year, accepts applications from Cottam students, whose parents are members of the co-operative. This is a way to support future leaders and further support the community. As Gosfield North Communications is a cooperative, its staff and directors see it as important to support youth-orientated endeavours. Gosfield North Communications gives up to $2,000 each year through this program.

be, we had to do a bit of a catch up. In order to do that, we had to raise rates more for that ward, Ward 3, than the rest of the wards,” Hunter said. Water will remain uniform across the entirety of the municipality. The motion carried. CAO Verbal Report on Bill 68 CAO Hunter presented a report to Council summarizing Bill 68, which has recently received Royal Assent. Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, will amend several previous bills, including the 2001 Municipal Act, and the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Key themes highlighted in this Bill include increased accountability and transparency, municipal financial sustainability, and responsible and flexible municipal government. Electronic participation at meetings is part of a subsection of the Bill. With this subsection, members of Council would be able to participate and vote in meetings which are open to the public. Any member attending electronically would not be counted in determining whether or not a quorum of members is present. Councillor Sherry Bondy expressed approval at the idea of remote voting, especially if Councillors have young children at home. Other points of interest in the Bill, include the requirement of municipalities to establish and maintain a public conflict of interest registry, as well as establishing a code of conduct for elected officials. Effective dates for the various actions on the Bill are varied. Full details of the Bill can be found on the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s website. Harrow Christmas Lights Beautification Fund CAO Hunter explained that municipal Christmas lights will go up in Harrow on November 15, regardless of their
condition. At that point, it will be determined which lights are operational, and which need repairs. With this method, the Town can determine the cost of repairs for the lights as are deemed necessary.

Notice of Motion for Regular Council Meeting November 20 A notice of motion from Councillor Sherry Bondy will be brought forward at the November 20 Council meeting, asking administration to prepare a report on grader issues on Given Road (Snake
Lane) in Ward 3 Harrow. Minister of Health invited to Council meeting to discuss regional healthcare A notice of motion was carried, inviting the Ontario Minister of Health to a Council meeting regarding the state of healthcare in the region. “I’m just requesting Council send a letter, not asking, not telling, but requesting from
Eric Hoskins, our Health Minister, when he can attend Council,” Councillor Randy Voakes said. “I want to talk to him specifically about, let’s take some small steps, let’s look at our E.R. rooms.” Voakes claimed that local hospitals are overcrowded, with serious medical procedures being performed in the hallways of the E.R. “There’s people giving
birth in our emergency rooms, there’s people dying in our emergency rooms, there’s people having blood drawn in the hallways of our hospitals,” he claimed. Voakes finished by saying that the Minister of Heath owes it to Council and the community to address the “deplorable” state of our emergency rooms.

Canada 150 Finale Celebration held in Lakeshore by Adam Gault The Town of Lakeshore held a Canada 150 Finale Celebration this past Friday afternoon at the Atlas Tube Centre, which featured light refreshments and big-

well as what’s in store for 2018. “We are so proud of what we’re doing, and we base that on teamwork,” Mayor Bain explained during his opening address. “We have really taken a theme in Lakeshore as a team, and that includes not only Council, not only administration, but everyone.” Mayor Bain added that Lakeshore has been a leader in growth and residential development in Ontario during the last eight years. “One of the reasons, of course, is our taxes. We have the lowest taxes in all of Essex County,” Bain said. “We take a lot of pride in being able to put the services out there, but keep the taxes reasonable.” Through a $44,000 Ontario 150 capital grant, Lakeshore was able to install automatic door

looks on all municipal park bathroom doors. This will allow the town to keep the facilities open longer throughout the day and the year, as a staff member will no longer have to physically open each bathroom by driving across the town. Lakeview Park West Beach on Lake St. Clair received an addition of accessibility mats this year, allowing easier access for individuals with mobility issues. The Mayor also spoke of the addition of the Parks Master Plan, which was adopted by
Lakeshore Council to classify parks into five categories including; regional park, community park, neighbourhood park, parkette, and trails. “We’re hearing people say they want to walk, they want to bike, and we’re responding,” Mayor Bain explained. “We keep it all in close proximity to the old wallet, so that we try to keep the taxes down and do what we can.” Bain finished by taking questions from the audience, and alluded that although he would probably seek re-election for the position of Mayor,
this would most likely be his last term as Warden of the County of Essex. “My wife has been on me saying, ‘You’ve got 40 years in the business’. So, we squared off on a compromise. I promised her I would not run for Warden again,” Bain said. “That’s seven days a week I’m gone (from my wife).” Guests of 150 Finale also brought small tokens of remembrance that will be sealed in a 25-year time capsule during a special ceremony at the Atlas Tube Centre on December 31.

Holy Name turkey dinner is a fall tradition
Pictured above: Many volunteers offered their time to help support Holy Name of Jesus Church’s turkey dinner and bazaar. Pictured left: Parishioner Elsie Chevrier and Sara Market volunteered to help out at Holy Name of Jesus Church’s turkey dinner and bazaar on Sunday afternoon.
by Sylene Argent For over six decades, members of Holy Name
of Jesus Church in Essex Centre have joined forces to help host or support the annual turkey dinner and bazaar. It was once hosted as a way to celebrate the fall season, once local farmers were done taking their crops off the field. It still offers that same seasonal flavour today as noticed on Sunday, when volunteers hosted the 2017 installment. The annual fundraiser supports a variety of causes, Joanne White, President of the church’s Catholic Women’s League (CWL) said. Those causes include programs the CWL supports, Right to Life, church missions, the St. Vincent de Paul, and the church’s youth groups in their endeavours, amongst other causes. The CWL hosts the event with help from the church community. It was expected the event would attract 500 patrons to the turkey dinner, which also
offered all the trimmings expected, including the cranberry sauce made with the same recipe used when the event was in its infancy. Organizers noted this recipe is expected from those who attend the event year-after-year. In addition to the dinner, the event also offered a 50/50 raffle, a fishing for goodies game youth were able to enjoy, a bazaar-complete with around 15 vendor tables, craft sales that included many donated hand-made wooden objects, and a bake sale featuring homemade items. Parishioners, White said, all pitched in to help ensure the event was a success. Even the youth members supported the event by helping to set up and clearing tables after attendees had enjoyed their meal. White was grateful to all those who helped out on Sunday, and to those who attended, despite the heavy rain. The event
takes a lot of work to host, and she was happy with the turn out. She pointed out those in the kitchen are especially busy. Parishioner Elsie Chevrier knows how busy the kitchen can get during this event. She has been a volunteer at the annual turkey dinner since 1969. For 11 years, she was the church’s kitchen convener and for many years was in charge of the turkey dinner’s kitchen operation. She volunteered on Sunday, collecting dinner tickets from patrons and greeting old friends. She stays involved, “For the love of it. I enjoy seeing everyone and greeting everyone I know.” Looking ahead towards the holiday season, Holy Name of Jesus Church will host a girls’ night out paint night on December 12. Those interested can sign up in the parish hall to participate and to learn more about the ticket cost.

Essex Fire & Rescue recognized Carbon Monoxide Week by Sylene Argent The week of November 1-7 is recognized as Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week to help fire departments across the province to remind residents to protect themselves against this scentless, tasteless, yet potentially deadly killer. The Awareness Week is held to correspond with Daylight Saving time, which is often the bi-annual marker residents use to remind themselves to check smoke alarm expiration dates, functionality, and change batteries. It is also a time, Jason Pillon, Assistant Deputy Chief with Essex Fire & Rescue, said residents should be checking their carbon monoxide detectors for the same purposes as well. Though, he added, the units should be checked on a monthly basis. Carbon Monoxide alarms, according to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correction Service’s website, are required to be installed, “If the house contains a fuel burning appliance, fireplace or an attached garage, a CO alarm is required to be installed adjacent to each sleeping area in the house. For optimum protection, it is recommended that additional CO alarm(s) be installed in other levels and/or areas of the home that are in proximity to a CO source, subject to the distance limits provided in the product’s instruction manual.” Pillon urged residents to know the different chirps that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors can emit. Not only do smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors sound different types of chirps to alarm families of detection of either substance, they also emit different chirps to alert the of end of their life or
the need for new batteries. Pillon urges residents who have a carbon monoxide detector emitting the chirp that signals that substance is detected, and symptoms or carbon monoxide poisoning are noticed, to get outside and call for assistance. What people do not often realize, Pillon said, is that fuel-burning appliance, such as wood stoves or furnaces, can emit carbon monoxide. If use of a generator is needed, he said, use it outdoors and away from windows. He noted that overcharging batteries can emit carbon monoxide. Because of this, members of Essex Fire & Rescue recommend fuelburning appliances be inspected annually. During winter months when there is snow, ensure vents and ventilation systems are clear so carbon monoxide can escape the home. A misconception, Deputy Fire Chief
Rick Malott added, is that carbon monoxide stays low to the ground. It has
a similar density to air so it can be present at any height. In addition to looking after carbon monoxide detectors, Essex Fire & Rescue urges residents to know the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as flu-like symptoms or loss of consciousness. “We are here to help people,” Pillon said. “Anyone with questions can contact us.” Malott noted that as of last week, around 10 percent of Essex Fire & Rescue’s call volume for 2017 was for carbon monoxide activities or problems. Approximately 3 percent were calls where carbon monoxide had been detected. That is why it is important to know the different chirps. Pillon recommends residents purchase units that have 10-year lithium ion batteries.

Honor veterans on Remembrance Day
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, World War I fighting ceased. The war, which had raged on throughout Europe for a little more than four years, claimed the lives of more than nine million combatants and seven million civilians. The Allies squared off against the Central Powers of Germany and AustriaHungary, and the conflict involved nations from all over the world. World War II was even more devastating. Ultimately, 100,000 Canadian soldiers lost
their lives in these two wars combined. It is in their honour - and in the name of all the servicemen and women who continue to risk their lives in service of their country that Remembrance Day was established. Remembrance Day, sometimes referred to as Armistice Day or Poppy Day, is celebrated each year on November 11. It is a federal statutory holiday in much of Canada. During the holiday, people pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. to remember the many Canadian soldiers who lost their lives. Many

Voice Of Inspiration “Whether we live together in confidence and cohesion; with more faith and pride in ourselves and less self-doubt and hesitation; strong in the conviction that the destiny of Canada is to unite, not divide; sharing in cooperation, not in separation or in conflict; respecting our past and welcoming our future.” ~ Lester Pearson
people also wear red poppies, a flower that has become synonymous with the holiday. In addition to the moments of silence and the wearing of poppies, individuals can commemorate Remembrance Day in the following ways. •Treat a veteran. Take a soldier out for a meal or pay the restaurant bill anonymously. If a family member or friend is presently in the military or retired from the service, learn his or her interests and plan a special, stressfree day. • Share a servicemember’s story. Speak with a service person who served in World War II about his or her military service, and chronicle this person’s story into a living history. Encourage children to take part in learning about this person’s history and experiences. • Volunteer at a veteran’s association. Find a department of veteran’s affairs and see what you can do to assist veterans. If you have specialized skills, offer your services free of charge to former soldiers. • Show your patriotism. Be proud of your heritage and the rich history of the country. Fly the flag, participate in the voting process and teach children
about the country’s founding principles and how much the nation has evolved. Read up on current events and take an interest in domestic and foreign affairs. • Establish your own traditions. Create your own way to celebrate Remembrance Day. This
may include a day of contemplation, spending time with family, visiting historical sites, or watching documentaries on the life-changing wars that transformed the world. Remembrance Day is a time to honour the patriotism of selfless
soldiers who sacrificed their lives to make Canada - and the world - a safer place.

Essex County 4-H Cloverbud The ninth meeting of the 4-H Cloverbud club was held at the Civic Centre on October 26th. We had a fun night of designing decorations with a Halloween theme. We made big spiders using black balloons and pipe cleaners, that could be a centrepiece for a Halloween table. Some of us had a hard time blowing up balloons, but we helped each other and got nice fat spider bodies. At one of our tables we made portable masks on a stick and decorated them with feathers, pompoms, and all sorts of other fancy things. One table worked on making structures using 4-H cards that fit together. We made “mummies” that glowed spookily and we also made a beautiful spider web using string and put a spider in it. These were beautiful decorations for our home. The spider webs look creepy on the wall. For our snack, we all made “s’mores” using chocolate digestive biscuits, graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. We each put them in the microwave for 10 seconds and that made them gooey and delicious. Harmony brought drinks for all of us. We also had a big surprise. Miss Vicky brought a box of 4-H shirts for us. The Comber 4-H Livestock Clubs donated a new 4-H shirt for each of us. Some of us had green ones and some had black ones. These were our first ever 4-H shirts! We took a group photo on the spiral stairs. The shirts are awesome! Thank you Comber clubs for our new shirts! We will wear them proudly! Our tenth meeting will be buzzing. We are going to learn all about honey bees and the delicious product that honey bees make.

1958 Corvette with story of the missing key
Tony Mastronardi with his 1958 Corvette in front of Highbury Canco, the company that replaced Heinz in Leamington in 2014.
Tony Mastronardi of Leamington, Ontario, purchased a 1960 Corvette several years ago. It needed some work and so his son took it all apart. It’s still all apart. Tony wanted one he could drive and so around 2002 he found a beautiful red and white 1958 Corvette for sale in Cambridge and bought it. It came with just one key and later on, Tony lost the key. With his computer, he found the original owner, who was now living in Woodstock, Ontario. He told Tony that he bought the Corvette new from a dealer in London, Ontario, then traded it in a few years later but only gave the dealer an extra key, keeping the original for himself. Tony removed the ignition barrel from his ’58 Corvette and brought it with him to Woodstock to see if this man’s key would fit. The key fit! Tony asked how much the man wanted for the key. The man said the key was free. Before leaving Woodstock, Tony went to a market and purchased a gift certificate and mailed it to the man to show his appreciation. Tony is the fourth owner. After the first owner traded it in, a man bought it and later passed it on to his grandson, who lived in Cambridge and became the third owner. He put it up for sale and that’s when Tony bought it. The only part needing replacement was the steering wheel because it was cracked. Tony contacted a man in the U.S. who makes reproduction steering wheels identical to the original and this is the one on his car today. Under the hood is a 283 cubic inch V8 engine with an automatic transmission. The car is a delight to drive and is a 44-year-old dream come true. Tony was 18 in 1958 when he first saw a new ’58 Corvette. He fell in love with it and now has one. The photo you see here was taken in July last summer when several Corvettes gathered for a reunion to celebrate the planting of a maple tree in Leamington in 2003 to commemorate 50 years of Corvette production. 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.

Essex 73’s get revenge
Photo by Laurie Beaten. William Stadder battles for the puck in Essex’s 2-1 win on Tuesday.
by Garrett Fodor This past week, the Essex 73’s avenged an early season loss and corrected an overtime win from a month prior. On Tuesday night, the 73’s hosted the Dresden Jr. Kings. It was the same Kings team that beat Essex 2-1 in Dresden on October 27. For Essex,

it was not going to be an easy game to avenge the loss, as they were short both of their goalies, along with three of their regular forwards. If that was not enough for Essex, Michael Vieira went down with an injury midway in the game and did not return. The teams played to
a scoreless opening 20 minutes. Both teams, however, showcased their ability to play defensive hockey, along with throwing their bodies around in the process. Essex held a slight edge in shots 18-13. Despite limiting chances, Dresden would eventually beat the 16year old AP call up, Ryan Poliardi. Dresden forward Cory Lucier capitalized on an Essex turnover to open the scoring 14:28 into the second period. But, Essex’s offense would eventually click and break through the wall called Brendan Johnston. Rookie Jack Sanko continued his torrid scoring pace, earning his 5th goal in 5 games with 14 minutes remaining on the board. To close out the frame, Matthew McCloud played the hero role for the home team. He was able to capitalize on an exposed rebound and made no mistake to find the back of the net.
Poliardi earned his first win, and Essex prevailed 2-1. Shots in the game were 38-34 in favour of Essex. Closing out the week, Essex was on the road Saturday night in
Mooretown. In their previous matchup, the teams needed extra time to decide the winner with Essex prevailing in Mooretown 3-2 after overtime. Essex would receive a break, with both
of their goalies making the trip to Mooretown.

by Sylene Argent The Essex District High School Senior Girls’ Basketball Team was busy last week. The hard work and determination the girls poured into their on-court performance paid off as they earned the Windsor and Essex County Secondary Schools Athletic Association (WECSSAA) championship. The girls faced Kennedy on Sunday at Lajeunesse, and earned a hard-fought 39-28 win, which gave them the bragging rights and hardware that comes with having earned the WECSSAA playoff championship. Kim Orton led the Red Raiders with 17 points and Vanessa Gualdieri earned 12 points. This is the Senior Girls’ Basketball Team’s second straight WECSSAA AA championship. Coach Joe Amicarelli
noted this is the third straight year the team made it to the finals. On Thursday, leading up to the championship game in a semi-final matchup, the girls faced the Kingsville Cavaliers at home. The home-team would prove victorious in this hard-fought battle, 3937. Amicarelli pointed out that the Seniors’ Girls Basketball Team is comprised of young players. There is only one grade 12 on the team’s roster. “They are a resilient bunch,” Amicarelli said of the players on the team. “They give it their all. They show up to play every day. That gave us a chance to be successful at WECSSAA.” The girls advance to play for the South Western Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (SWOSSAA) title on November 15.
73’s get revenge... Continued from Page 23
On Saturday, Essex started out on the right foot as Sanko scored his 6th goal in as many games just two minutes in. Just under eight minutes later, 73’s goalie, Jax Dhondt, was beaten with a rocket of a shot. The goal came from the stick of Kyle Smith, who made Essex pay for being a man down. After a scoreless middle frame, Essex’s offense picked it up in the third. After their lines were juggled a bit, they found success. Cody Leeming blasted home a howitzer of a shot from the point. Essex was able to screen goalie Jake Wilkens as Essex had the man advantage, and he was unable to track the puck. Essex held Mooretown to just 5 shots in the final frame and added an empty netter to prevail 3-1. With the two wins, Essex jumped to second in the standings, trailing Lakeshore by just a single point.
