Phoenix, 11-and-a-half, was happy to accept her bike on Wednesday even though she wasn’t able to ride it until Friday when a cast on her foot came off. Phoenix said that she learned a lot about fire

safety at the Open House. She said that “having a plan” in case of a house fire is very important. Four-year-old Brett was also very excited to win a bike. His favourite part of the Open House was having a ride on a fire truck.

Trustee Julia Burgess offers to resign over the loss of HDHS

Kingsville-Essex Trustee Julia Burgess addressed members of her community at a town hall style meeting on Monday. She oﬀered to resign over the School Board’s decision to close HDHS, but the community asked her to stay, saying she should continue to represent their interests on the GECDSB.

by Jennifer Cranston Julia Burgess is the Greater Essex County District School Board Trustee for Kingsville and Essex, and on Monday night, she offered to resign. At a town hall meeting at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Harrow, members of the community gathered to hear Burgess discuss her feelings and observations on the recent PARC process that resulted

in the slated closure of HDHS. “I wanted a chance to be publicly accountable in my role as Trustee,” she said. In 2008-2009 Burgess was part of the process that legally defined the role of a Trustee. The definition reads in part, “Must uphold the implementation of any resolution made by the Board.” She personally fought for the specific wording of

that clause, and she said it is what she struggles with now. “I think our Board has disregarded the wellbeing of students,” she said. She spoke about the recent school closure decisions and the results. She was upset over promises made to Kingsville and Harrow that were never kept. Burgess said that she thinks she should have a “trusting” working relationship with Board Administration, but she struggles with that trust now. When she ran in the last election, she did not know Harrow and Kingsville would once again be under review. And she campaigned on the idea that she had helped to keep education in Harrow. “I feel like I led you down the garden path because I trusted Administration,” she said through tears. “They didn’t tell me. I didn’t know. I’m sorry, it’s important for you to know that I’m sorry. I gave them the trust they didn’t deserve.” She offered to resign, leaving a vacancy. There is no mechanism to replace her so the place at the table would remain vacant or the Board would appoint someone

to sit there. “I could stay but I would have to uphold this decision,” she said. She talked about how she argued against the strange mix of schools in this study. She also had objections to the PARC Committee being given restrictions that they should not have been given. She talked about Administration restricting ideas at the PARC. She talked about the Committee being told they could look at other schools and then being told later that they could not. “There were irregularities,” she said. “I question those irregularities.” The community members present offered Burgess their support and asked her to stay on as their Trustee. “It would be a disservice to this community and the family of schools you represent for you to resign,” Trudy Richards said. This statement was met with applause from the audience. Essex Town Councillors Sherry Bondy and Bill Caixeiro were present as well as Mayor Ron McDermott. Caixiero said that Burgess could best serve her community by staying on the Board.

From the C orners of My Mind ••• Comment by Jennifer Cranston ••• Halloween is upon us and we are all gearing up with costumes, candy, and party supplies. Halloween is easily my favourite holiday. While its roots are in the Celtic pagan festival of Samhain, and was adopted by Christians’ All Saints Eve, it has evolved into a celebration of fantasy. It is a time when people young and old can be who and whatever

they like for a night. Children and adults alike become super heroes, villains and monsters, or whatever else they want. Children indulge in candy treats and many adults indulge in more grown up treats, but it is a time for fun and community no matter how you celebrate. This year Halloween falls on a Saturday, which means many of those adult celebrations will coincide with youngsters trick-ortreating. Every year we caution parents to make their children visible in the dark as they wander their neighbourhood, and we caution motorists to be extra watchful of little ghosts and goblins as they run from house to house. This year it is important for everyone to be extra cautious.

Party goers and children will be out and about at the same time, each trying to enjoy the evening. Motorists should give themselves more time to get where they are going, and parents and children should be even more aware of traffic. Many adult festivities begin later in the evening when most of the children have gone in for the night, but be aware that older kids stay out later so they can knock on as many doors as possible, this is when the risk is greater. Older kids travel in less visible, smaller groups and their costumes often are of the darker variety, not easily seen at night. So enjoy this Halloween. Whether you are trick-or-treating or partying with friends and family, let’s all work together to make sure that make-up is the only maker of injuries.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Wasting gas Did you know that Canadians idling light duty vehicles, including cars, waste more than 1.6 million liters of fuel every day? That produces more than 4500 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions daily. That means every time someone runs the air conditioner while waiting in the car that person is severely polluting our atmosphere. Or when the heater is on, there is the same effect. Usually the individual who does this thinks the little bit he or she uses won’t matter, but many people think the same way and we have a pollution problem. Is it really so uncomfortable to sit in warmth in summer or shiver a bit in winter to wait in the car without having it running just so that one person can be comfortable? There are two ways of thinking about that. People in underprivileged countries have to endure whatever circumstances they are in and why can’t we here in Canada have a little discomfort for the sake of our world. The other thought is what are we doing to our atmosphere that our grandchildren will live in for the future? Not a future of a great distance. It is several years ago that one of my granddaughters laughed at me about some of my conservation actions. I told her then I did not need to worry, that she was the one that would have to live in a polluted air space. She is now being very careful about her waste habits and her children are grown and on their own. I hope she has taught them well. Meanwhile, I am still hanging around for a little while longer!

Rotarians enlist EDHS and pizzerias to help end Polio of helping to eliminating Polio. A portion of pizza sales from participating, local restaurants will be forwarded to this cause. This took place on World Polio Day. The Essex Rotary Club is a service club that steps up to the challenge of supporting local and global causes. Eradicating Polio world-wide is one of those causes its members fundraise for, including Friday’s Pizza for Polio event. In addition to encouraging area residents to purchase pizza from Naples, Armando’s, Dominio’s, Chochi’s, Little Caesars, and Capri, on Friday, the Physical Education Leadership students at Essex District High School hosted their own Pizza for Polio event, which included encouraging student peers to wear purple in support

Those who had pizza at a participating restaurant during the day were encouraged to submit their receipt to have their support recognized. EDHS teacher Angela Lindsay explained her students wanted to back this cause after a visit from Essex Rotarian Dr. Julie Ricci, who explained the International Rotary Club was very close to helping to eradicate Polio world-wide. She asked the students for their help in continuing this effort. The students at EDHS, Lindsay said, were supportive of supporting the cause, and her students enjoyed hosting the fundraiser. In addition, she added, the Peer Mentors at the school sold homemade

Pumpkin Fest is more than just another craft show

Western Secondary School Student Council Member Morgan Hoekstra shows oﬀ the treats-in-a-jar, including soup, cookies, baked goods, and hot chocolate.

by Jennifer Cranston For over 30 years Western Secondary has been holding Pumpkin Fest to usher in the Halloween Season, the

craft show is a multifaceted experience for students there. Teacher and Pumpkin Fest Committee member Brent Webster explained

that funds raised at the craft show each year go to student activities, clubs and field trips, but it also gives students a unique opportunity to learn. The show is open to all crafters selling their handmade wares, which includes tables from programs within the school. For example, Student Council has a table and also runs a 50/50 draw. Funds raised by Council at the Pumpkin Fest go to help them sponsor a family in need at Christmas. Council member Morgan Hoekstra said that she and her colleagues have been working on the Fest all semester and she enjoys the wide variety of vendors. Students from the culinary program sell lunch to shoppers throughout the weekend, students manned beverage carts throughout the school, and teachers sold knit crafts to help fund the school’s lunch program. The show boasts

free parking, and over 70 vendors. Set up and tear down also offers volunteer hours for students, Webster said. “It is an exceptional opportunity for students to learn and grow,” school volunteer Mary MacLauchlan said. “They get experience with business planning and customer service.” Pumpkin Fest is also a homecoming of sorts for the school. Several graduates come to Pumpkin Fest just to visit former teachers and check in on the “Tribe,” as the student body calls itself. Vendor Lucy Lorteau was at the show for the first time this year. Her crafts, From the Attic Dark Dolls, is a continuation of her love for Halloween. She laughs that even her wedding was on Oct. 31 and was a costumed affair. She is impressed with the volume of shoppers at Pumpkin Fest. “Turn out has been great she said on Sunday.” “I was up late last night

finishing dolls to fill the table. I sold about half of my stock yesterday.” Linda Lariviere of Home Treasures also did well selling her Christmas themed wood crafts. “This is the best weekend we’ve had at Pumpkin Fest. We had a really great Saturday,” she

said. Pumpkin Fest is held every year, the weekend before Halloween and features only handmade items. For more information on Pumpkin Fest or to become involved call Western Secondary at 519 726-6138 and ask for Sam Thomas.

Harrow continues to fight for HDHS by Jennifer Cranston Residents filled the community room at Harrow Arena last Tuesday to discuss the next steps in the fight for Harrow High. The discussion was led by the former Harrow representatives of the Greater Essex County District School Board’s most recent PARC Committee. The Harrow Committee explained that they would be appealing the Board’s decision to close HDHS. “The five of us have been continuously working,” Committee Member Bill Parr said. He explained that a plan to save Harrow and address future accommodation

issues was dismissed and ignored by the GECDSB. The recommendation developed by Committee members involved two elementary schools that were not involved in the accommodation review, but are on the Board’s list of schools needing review. Malden Public and Colchester North Public Schools are both at risk of closure in the near future according to the Board’s own report. “Given the school’s geographic location, low enrollment and future development, its long term viability is in jeopardy,” reads the report regarding Colchester North. “With small student population and the surrounding schools

having significant space un-utilized, the exploration of possible school consolidation is warranted,” the same report states about Malden Public. The Harrow Committee’s plan involves adjusting a few boundaries so these two elementary schools can be distributed to surrounding schools. The presentation illustrates how HDHS could be renovated to the “right size” to accommodate JK to grade 12 programming, while eliminating vacancies in all of the Board’s south western schools. The plan would eliminate the need for accommodation reviews in that region for the foreseeable future, according to Parr. “Yes, it will affect two other schools, but this is not the last PARC. Future ones will be expedited faster and these schools already meet the criteria to be closed,” Parr said. “We’re looking to strengthen the entire south western quadrant of the Board and spare

these schools from future PARCs” The plan also involves bringing in French Immersion as well as extended French for grades nine through 12 at Harrow. Committee Member Rebecca Robinson said that it was very important that the community work together in this process. “We need one community with one voice,” she said. They explained the steps and stages of the appeals process and asked those present to share their contact information if they were willing to join the fight. Many were eager to lend their assistance; some even asked where they could donate money to help with legal fees if they are required. Members of Essex Town Council were also present at the meeting and spoke of the steps the Town was able to take and how the Town and the Committee could work together.

OPP News:

Canada Revenue Agency Scam

submitted to EFP The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Essex County would like to remind the citizens of Essex County to beware of a telephone scam that began this past summer. The scam involves threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying a fictitious debt owed to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The victim receives a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail, or deportation. If you get such a call, hang up and call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. These types of communication are not from the CRA. To help you identify possible scams, use the following guidelines: The CRA; • Never requests prepaid credit cards. • Never asks for information about your passport, health card, or driver’s license. • Never shares your taxpayer information with another person, unless you have provided the appropriate authorization. • Never leaves personal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a message containing your personal information on an answering machine. When in doubt, ask yourself the following: • Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling? Do I have a tax balance outstanding? • Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return? • Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? • How did the requester get my email address or telephone number? • Am I confident I know who is asking for the information? For more information with regards to the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, please visit www.cra.gc.ca/security. For more information on scams or to report deceptive telemarketing, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or call toll free at 1-888-495-8501. If you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or financial information unwittingly, contact your local police service.

WETRA receives leadership grant This leadership program will be available to youth ages 13-18. Youth interested in participating in this program can email info@wetra.ca. Mills hopes the youth who get involved with the program will be able to take what they learn beyond WETRA, and be able to apply their newly acquired leadership skills in the work force in the future.

WETRA was one of several Southwestern Ontario organizations to receive “a piece of the pie” on Wednesday through Libro’s Prosperity Fund, which is an annual grant program that has invested more than $500,000 into organizations across Southwestern Ontario. On Wednesday, the credit union distributed over $73,000.

Representatives of Libro Credit Union forwarded a $10,000 “piece of the pie” to WETRA client Hallie Ganderton (10), who accepted the grant on behalf of the organization. Pictured also are representatives of WETRA, members of the Essex County Carriage Club, and therapeutic riding pony, Wendy.

by Sylene Argent The Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Riding Association was pleased to hitch up a pony to a carriage to demonstrate how its therapeutic program goes beyond horse-back riding on Wednesday morning at its facility, which is located near McGregor. This demonstration was in celebration of

having received a $10,000 grant for its Youth Leaders in Training program through Libro Credit Union’s Prosperity Fund. Becky Mills, WETRA’s Managing Director, was grateful for the donation, which will allow the local therapeutic riding facility to train youth to help out with some of the organization’s clients through March

Break and Summer Day Camp programs. The Youth Leaders in Training program participants will be trained in first aid and to assist in planning camps that are held for youth with special needs. The training program will begin in February, before the start of the March Break camp

program. Participation in this program will allow high school students to earn community service hours. Mills is hoping to have 60 graduates from this program. A graduation for those youth who complete the Youth Leaders in Training program will take place next September.

Let’s have a safe Halloween - Safety Tips from the OPP submitted to EFP The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Essex County detachment would like everyone to have a safe and fun Halloween. Halloween is a cherished tradition, but the excitement of the night can certainly cause children to forget how to be careful. Safety starts

even before the children go out. The following are safety tips for children, parents, and motorists. Pumpkin carving: • Do not let small children carve pumpkins. Sharp knives and little hands are a bad combination. Allow the children to dig out

the gooey insides and then draw a face on the pumpkin with markers. Have a parent carve out the face. Or you may consider painting the pumpkins as an alternative-there are plenty of examples online. • Place your pumpkin on a sturdy table or the floor well away from where the trick or treaters

will be walking. Make sure that it is kept away from flammable objects such as curtains. Children: • Halloween costumes should not have a mask. It restricts the child’s sight and view of traffic dangers. Washable face paint allows a child to

better see surroundings. • Make sure the costume is not oversized as the child can trip on the fabric. No oversized shoes or high heels. • The costume should have reflective tape on it so that they can be easily seen by motorists. If no reflective tape is available, have them carry a

flashlight or a glow stick. • Small children should not go out alone. Try to go out “trick or treating” when it is light out and in a group. After dark, they should always be with a responsible parent or adult. • Older children, plan a safe route for you and your friends to follow while going door to door. Set a specific time to be home by. Parents make sure your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out on their own and that they are trick or treating in a group. • Stay in neighbourhoods that you know. Only go to homes that are well lit. If the home is in darkness, pass it by. • Do not go into homes or apartments even if you are invited in. • Be cautious of strangers and vehicles on the street. • Do not run from door to door and don’t cut across front lawns.

may be objects or other obstructions you may not see that could cause you to trip. • Obey the safety rules when crossing the street. Only cross in well-lit areas. • Children should not snack on their treats while trick or treating. Take your entire Halloween loot home and have your parents inspect it. Look for wrappers that have been tampered with, pin holes in packages, or loose or torn wrappers. If you’re suspicious, throw them away. Although homemade caramel popcorn balls, cookies and candy apples are nice and usually well intended by the giver, they

can also be dangerous. Dispose of them as well unless you know and trust who gave them to you.

Tips for motorists: • During Devils Night and Halloween, if you witness any suspicious behaviour, call police immediately. • Drive slowly and be alert, especially in built up areas where children may be. • During the excitement of trick or treating, children may dart out from between parked cars. • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleyways carefully.

Tips for parents: • Before children go trick or treating, make sure that the child has eaten. This may prevent them from eating their treats while out. Caution them not to eat anything before you have had a chance to inspect it. • It is recommended that a parent or responsible adult always accompany small children, even when in a group. • If older children are going out without the company of a parent or responsible adult, know who they are with. Instruct them to stay together and stay on a planned route. Have them only go in areas that they are familiar with. • Review the safety rules relating to traffic and strangers. • Establish when they are coming home. • Provide your child with a flashlight or glow stick, and at the very least, attempt to ensure that their costume is light or bright in colour and has reflective strips attached to it. • When you greet trick or treaters at your door, make sure the area is well lit. • Pick up any obstructions such as garden hoses, bicycles, tools, or other obstructions that pose a hazard. Clean wet leaves from your sidewalks. • Pumpkins with candles in them should be placed in a safe location. Let’s all have a safe and fun Halloween!

Gesto Spook House volunteers and reps from the McGregor branch of the St. Vincent de Paul show oﬀ the canned goods this year’s event was able to collect.

by Sylene Argent There was a chill in the air over the weekend as thrill-seekers bravely went through the many strategically designed exhibits that were implemented for this year’s installment of the Gesto Spook House. This year’s event was moved down the street from the previous location,

and organizers were happy to see that the 1379 visitors who passed through the harrowingly haunted exhibits found the new location. Michelle Morand and Tamer Ouellette, both 17-years old, manned one of the stations inside the Gesto Spook House.

Gesto Spook House continues to support St. Vincent de Paul... Continued from Page 11

They said they enjoy working with the many volunteers with

the Gesto Spook House. “It’s like a family,” they said. Ouellette said it takes a lot of effort and commitment to be involved with the annual event. Volunteers begin working on their exhibits in September. “It’s worth it. It’s so much fun,” she said. Morand added she looks forward to being involved with the annual production all year long. Organizers host the Halloween-themed event for a couple of reasons; to offer community members a chance to get scared, to provide its many high school-aged volunteer actors a chance to earn some serious community service hours, and, most importantly, to help stock the shelves at the St. Vincent du Paul. Entry into the Gesto Spook House is just two canned goods or nonperishable food items, and many of the visitors looking for a good Halloween thrill bring along a few extra items to donate to the cause. The collected goods are then forwarded to the St. Vincent de Paul that operates out of McGregor. This year, St. Vincent de Paul volunteer Phil Jones estimated the Gesto Spook House was able to collect 4000 items. Jones said the annual Gesto Spook House event donates enough items

to keep the organization going for the year. It’s the biggest donation it receives annually, and goes towards helping put food on the tables of many

local individuals and families who are facing economically stressful times. The St. Vincent de Paul reps, who picked up the

large donation on Monday following the Gesto Spook House weekend, were thankful to receive the donation.

A big ‘thumbs up’ for Mr. Essex 73

Rotary Club rep Henry Mulder, Essex Mayor Ron McDermott, and Heritage Essex rep Morley Bowman give a ‘thumbs up” to Essex’s 20015 Citizen of the Year, Frank Matthys (pictured second from the left).

by Sylene Argent This year’s Essex Citizen of the Year, Frank Matthys, is a man of few words, but his dedication to the town and to the Essex 73’s speaks volumes of his sense of community spirit. Matthys was honoured on Saturday evening during this year’s Essex Citizen of the Year banquet for the over 40 years of volunteer work he had dedicated to the Essex 73’s and for contributions he has made to the community. The event was held inside the hall at Holy Name of Jesus Church. Many individuals took the opportunity to thank Matthys for his years of dedication to the Essex 73’s organization. He has been a volunteer with the local Junior “C” Hockey Club since it was established 42 years ago. It is said he is the only one who can claim to have

won seven Schmalz Cups with the team because of this long-term devotion. “The name Frank Matthys resonates throughout Essex and the County,” Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said. Many often ask why the 73’s is such a great hockey team; it has great coaches and staff, he said. But people get behind the hockey club because they know Matthys is working with the team. Matthys’s dedication, he said, is a big reason why the team has such great talent and personnel. 73’s Vice President Dick Pluimers said Matthys is a talented Essex legend who is loved by many. Because of his dedication to the team, he has earned the nickname Mr. Essex 73. And, his character is one that is sincere, supportive, generous, and without a doubt, loyal, he said. He spoke of some of the small things that Matthys

does to put smiles on the faces of those around him, including picking up cans and bottles and using the return money to buy candy and gum for kids at the rink. “I’ve known Frank for over 50 years, he is always there to lend support to everyone,” he said, adding Matthys has always been a positive, optimistic individual who encourages everyone to be the best they can. “I’m so proud of you. You are one of the finest men I have ever had the privilege to know. “Frank, you must be real special,” Pluimers pointed out, as recently, the new bike path along Fairview Avenue was named after the avid cyclist. He joked that the path leads from Matthys’s house right to the arena. Essex 73’s General Manager Scott Miller supported Ron Campbell in putting Matthys’s name

forward for this special recognition. He was happy to see Matthys awarded. He pointed out Matthys’s dedication to hockey goes back further than the inception of the local Junior “C” hockey club. One of Miller’s memories of Matthys was running into him in an open field while hunting rabbits with his dad when he was 16-years old. Matthys then said he would catch the rabbits with his hands by sneaking up on them. Other speakers during the evening acknowledged this, too. Matthys’s friend Joe McLeod pointed out that Matthys, now 89-years old, has friends of all ages. His children often ask to go visit him. Even though he doesn’t drink, Matthys always has a cold one waiting for McLeod. Matthys, McLeod said,

has a good sense of humour, and he cherishes every minute he gets to spend with his friend. Leamington Flyers Assistant Coach Jamie McDermott said he and his family had the pleasure of moving into a house that had a yard that backed onto Matthys’s. He told a few funny stories of what it was like to have him as a neighbour. One day, McDermott had mention that he wanted to rebuild the fence. By the time he returned home from work the next day, “the fence was gone.” Matthys had all the fence posts down on the ground. Matthys’s niece’s husband Keith Fulcher noted his uncle-in-law was born in Belgium. His family came to Canada, and Matthys would work on the farm until he got a

job at Chryslers. He said Matthys loves to hunt and fish, and used to love riding motorcycles. Matthys gave a few heartfelt thumbs up during the banquet, a gesture many pointed out is one he is known for. As a man of few words, he graciously accepted his recognition with a thank you. He also thanked the coaches of the 73’s for allowing him to be a part of the team. The Town of Essex, the Essex Rotary Club, the Essex chapter of the Knights of Columbus, and Heritage Essex band together to host the annual Citizen of the Year banquet. It provides the community an opportunity to honour one of its outstanding citizens, and acts as a fundraiser for Heritage Essex, which operates the historic Essex Railway Station.

Farm Credit Canada - Annual Drive Away Hunger

submitted to EFP The Essex Farm Credit office has been collecting food, canned goods, and monetary donations locally over the past week during the Annual Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Drive Away Hunger campaign. FCC Drive Away Hunger took place across Canada in October. This is the 12th year for the campaign. Last year, FCC Drive Away Hunger provided five million meals for Canadian food banks. Since 2004, FCC Drive Away Hunger has provided over 22 million meals to help Canadian food banks feed people in need. FCC Drive Away Hunger demonstrates a commitment to the industry and brings the agriculture community together to share the food it produces with those who need it most. The program is increasingly recognized across the country and is exclusive to FCC. Locally, many sponsors, groups, businesses, and individuals have assisted with the program. Mucci Farms of Leamington donated 10,000 lbs. of fresh produce. Students of St. Mary in Maidstone collected enough food to provide 848 meals. Essex/Windsor BDO staff collected over 17,00 meals for local food banks. Local volunteer FCC staff who have worked to make this year’s annual drive successful are Jamie Tellier, Lori Simard, Sally Onions, Dave Orosz, Anne Holding, Steve Anthony, Anne Baldo, Zack Brunato, and Henry Hotz.

submitted to EFP The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind the public, yet again, that emergency scams target vulnerable persons and seniors by playing upon their emotions and robbing them of their hard earned money. Each year, emergency scam artists contact thousands of citizens and many people get scammed in their rush to help. Many victims are hesitant to say ‘no’ or to hang up on someone on the phone, which makes them easy targets for criminals to access substantial sums of money. Just recently, an elderly resident of Tecumseh received a phone call from his “supposed” grandson. He was told that he had been arrested for an impaired driving crash and needed $1500 in order to get out of jail. When the victim inquired as to why his voice sounded different, he was told that he sustained a broken nose in the crash. He was told to purchase Petro Canada “Pivot Load Vouchers” in the said amount. He was called the following day and was asked to scratch off the rear of the cards and provide the PIN numbers. He never heard from them again.

Be aware of some warning signs: • Urgency: The scammer always makes the request sound very urgent, which may cause the victim to not verify the story. • Fear: The scammer plays on the victim’s emotions by generating a sense of fear. For instance they may say, “I am scared and I need help from you.” • Secrecy: The scammer pleads with the victim not to tell anyone about the situation, such as, “Please don’t tell Dad, he would be so mad.” • Request for Money Transfer: Money is usually requested to be sent by a money transfer company such as Money Gram, Western Union, or even through your own bank institution. To avoid becoming a victim, police advise you to first check with another family member or trusted friend to verify the information before sending money or providing credit card information by phone or e-mail. It is vitally important that the incident be reported every time it occurs, to allow police to investigate and prevent others from becoming victims. If you or someone you know may have been the victim of an ‘emergency’ scam, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS). FRAUD…Recognize it… Report it… Stop it

Velocity Volleyball teaching youth the game

Velocity Volleyball Club Director Jim Konrad, right; demonstrates a skill.

by Fred Groves Young volleyball players are getting a head start on the basics of the game thanks to Velocity Volleyball, which has started a youth program in Essex. On Wednesday nights, athletes, as young as fiveyears-old, are developing new skills that will not only

give them an appreciation of the sport, but maybe put them on a future track to school volleyball programs. “This is an introduction to volleyball. We use proper, basic skills of the game and then we add fun,” Jim Konrad, Velocity Club Director, said. Konrad ran similar programs in Toronto and when he moved to Leamington a few years ago he decided to introduce youth volleyball to the area. That includes beach volleyball and club teams, which will soon be coming to Essex. Hockey, soccer, and baseball are well known for their youth development, which starts at around five. Konrad believes starting them young will help in learning much needed skills. “We are one of the few clubs that offer it to this young of an age.” There are adjustments that have to be made when teaching such young players, and that includes utilizing a smaller ball, lowering the net, and allowing the ball to bounce on the floor before being returned. “Attention span is a reality too, we have to change it up,” Konrad said of keeping the players engaged in what they are being taught. Each hour-long session starts with a warmup, teaching various basics and then a cool down. Besides the Wednesday night sessions in Essex, which has nearly 40 participants, Velocity Volleyball is very pro-active in reaching out to young players across the region. “We do a lot of in-school clinics. Parents, teachers, and coaches reach out and if they like it, we let them know about our program.” Konrad’s development programs are already showing great results as they have placed several former players onto college and university teams, including EDHS grad Cameron Branch, who was one of the top university players in the nation last year. Branch was big into the beach volleyball game.

The future looks very promising for Velocity Volleyball and Konrad said in the next couple of weeks he will be announcing the formation of Club Travel teams that will play out of Essex. “We are excited to come to Essex and offer this. If it is successful we hope it will grow.”

The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch

Maple key abundance I am told that an abundance of pine cones on a tree signify a cold winter. Right now I am wondering what an overabundance of those little seed keys from my maple tree tell us. I don’t remember seeing so many of them this time of the year, but the weather experts told us in today’s Star that the winter should be very mild. So much for the maple seeds meaning anything. What they mean to me is a huge nuisance. They track in on our shoes and even cling to them long enough to get themselves upstairs. They are in every room downstairs, even the bathroom and on the stair’s steps. I am beginning to think I understand why a next door neighbour had a healthy maple tree cut down. There is another disadvantage to them. Tiny maple seedlings grow everywhere and I have to kill them. Otherwise, in a few years, I would live in a forest. Don’t ask me which one is the bigger annoyance, the maple tree or the two catalpas on the boulevard in front of my house. Their huge leaves overwhelm me and those long beans that fall from those huge trees keep annoying me all year round. It is one thing to clean up from a tree once a year, but there is no end to those seed beans. While I am complaining, I have to ask if anyone knows how to keep Creeping Charlie out of the lawn?

Murder Mystery attracts big crowd

by Sylene Argent It was an interesting night for intrigue at the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village (CTMHV) on Saturday evening, as this local organization hosted its annual Murder Mystery event.

CTMHV’s Manager Lisa Wacheski and summer student, Cassandra Marujo wrote this year’s Murder Mystery storyline, which had the hundreds of event visitors travel up and down the paved pathway at the village, visiting the Museum’s historic buildings. Inside many of the buildings housed onsite, the event visitors were able to ask the 19 actors, dressed for the occasion, many questions to try and pin point the killer. Of course, a group of gossips were there to lend some information to the visitors trying to solve the crime, but some of the information may not have been very credible. This year’s Murder Mystery “To be, and then to be no more…” was set in October of 1897 in the town of Arnersville. The town’s new teacher turned up dead in the woods. It was the visitors’ job to put their sleuthing skills to the test to determine the killer, and what was his or her motive. What was neat about this year’s Halloween-flavoured activity was that the writers tried to incorporate each of the buildings’ histories into the play, by doing things like using the actual names of people who used to live in them. Wacheski hoped this would help spur interest in local history and get some

of the visitors back in the future to learn more about the buildings and the people who used to reside within them. This, she said, helped make the Murder Mystery fun and educational. Another new aspect to this year’s play was that the ghost of the victim had been spotted wandering throughout the village, but she was pretty tight-lipped with information about her death. The Murder Mystery, which is a fundraiser for the CTMHV’s Children’s Education Program, has been an annual event for many years, and participating in the fun has become a Halloween tradition for many, Wacheski said. She recognized the efforts of all the volunteers for their contributions in ensuring the event was the best it could be. At the end of the evening, participants were able to submit the name of which character they thought was the killer. Three winners were drawn for a chance to win a movie-themed gift basket.

Windsor-built 1932 DeSoto convertible at Canadian Automotive Museum

1932 DeSoto convertible coupe

Walter Chrysler had a very busy year in 1928. The cars bearing his name were selling well since first introduced in 1924, and he was now ready to expand. He entered the low price field with the new Plymouth, perhaps named after Plymouth Rock where the pilgrims landed, but more likely named after Plymouth Binder Twine, a product familiar to every American farmer. The new car was an instant success. He also brought out the DeSoto in August 1928 for the medium-price field and named after the Spanish explorer who was the first known European to cross the Mississippi River. Like the Plymouth, the new DeSoto was also an instant success. Then Chrysler bought the Dodge Corporation with its foundries and vast dealer network. Now people began talking about the Big Three: GM, Ford, and Chrysler. A particularly handsome DeSoto is currently on display at the Canadian Automotive Museum on the Arner Town Line south of Essex, Ontario: a 1932 DeSoto convertible coupe with roll-up windows and a rumble seat. A roadster was also available that year with side curtains. Our feature car has a dark green body, black fenders, orange spoke wheels, wide whitewalls, and a tan folding top. It was purchased in the 1970s by Grant Evoy and was given a complete restoration. This car was built at the Chrysler plant in Windsor with a factory list price of $1175. The barrel-shaped grille was reportedly inspired by Henry Miller’s race cars of Indy 500 fame. At the bottom of the grille is an opening for a crank to start the engine in the event of battery failure. That engine is a flathead six with 211.5 cubic inches and cranking out 75 horsepower at 3400 rpm. The transmission is a 3-speed floor shift. Other features include an all-steel body, adjustable front seat, dual cowl vents, twin windshield wipers, twin trumpet horns, spare tire mounted in the front fender, and hydraulic brakes. Chrysler pioneered the use of hydraulic brakes from the very first Chrysler and in this respect was 15 years ahead of Henry Ford, who finally replaced the old mechanical brakes with hydraulics in 1939. The DeSoto name survived until December 1960, when falling sales prompted Chrysler to drop the name after only 3034 DeSotos were built for the 1961 model year. You can see the 1932 DeSoto convertible coupe at the Canadian Automotive Museum on the Arner Town Line along with over 40 other historic vehicles. Well worth a visit! 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 on the offensive

Continued from Page 21

Essex 73’s Matthew Hebert fires a shot at the net in a 8-1 victory over Wallaceburg last week.

by Garrett Fodor The Essex 73’s began a three game week last week by hosting the last place Wallaceburg Lakers on October 20. The Lakers have

allowed, a league worst, 72 goals through 11 games this season, while giving up the most shots with a total of 435 or nearly 40 shots a game. The 73’s increased

those statistics Tuesday night with an 8-1 outburst. After the first period Essex had a 4-0 lead, as Brett Vorshuk opened the scoring at the 4:46 mark. Before the announcing was done, and Lakers goalie Alex Carriere could catch his breath, he was beat again, 11 seconds later, by Riley Meyerink who scored his first of two tallies on the night. Closing out the period, Essex added two more quick goals with Phil Janikowski and Luke Gecse finding the back of the net. The 73’s offense continued to pressure and increased the lead in the second period, adding

three more tallies. Scoring for Essex was Michael Vieira one minute into the period, while Tyler Scott added a shorthanded goal at the 12 minute mark, and Meyerink added his second of the match, three minutes later. In the final frame, both teams exchanged goals, as the Lakers spoiled 73’s goalie Matthew Badour’s shutout attempt with 10 minutes left. On Friday night the 73’s were on the road to renew their rivalry with the Lakeshore Canadiens, who were hoping to give new head coach Justin Solcz a win in his debut. After a scoreless opening 20 minutes of play, both teams found their groove and combined for four goals in the middle frame. Vieira scored on a power play, one minute after the puck dropped, to give the 73’s momentum. Essex scored two more unanswered goals, coming from the same linemates, Tyler Scott and Matthew Hebert. Closing out the second period, Lakeshore found the net behind goalie Trevor Wheaton, at the 18 minute mark. But that would be the only time Wheaton would be beat on the night, as Essex won 3-1. Closing out the week, the 73’s traveled to Blenheim to take on the fourth place Blades October 25. The 73’s defense was a strong presence as the team skated to a 3-0 win, with four points coming from their blue line. Eric Shaw and Phil Janikowski scored four minutes apart in the middle frame to put the 73’s up 2-0 heading into the third period. Anthony Cristofaro added an insurance goal two minutes into the third, as Wheaton earned his fourth shutout stopping 12 shots.
