Local sorority donates trees to Colchester Park

by Shelbey Hernandez Local sorority, Beta Sigma Phi, donated three Serviceberry Trees to enhance the Peace Garden project in Colchester. The Town of Essex recognized the donation, valued at $600, during a ceremony held on Tuesday, September 27. The sorority recently celebrated its 45th anniversary, and part of that celebration was hosting the founder’s day event. Many who attended the event were from other sorority chapters across Essex and as far as Chatham. Due to the turn out, the event ended up having extra funds. Instead of putting that money back into the sorority chapter itself, Beta Sigma Phi decided to donate it to the Members of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, along with some representatives from the Town of Essex, visited the Peace Garden Project.

Isn’t it amazing, when you really think about it, how many factors have to come into play for someone with celebrity type status in their chosen field to make the grade, so to speak? When we think of famous scientist Albert Einstein for instance, he was undoubtedly a genius. But it was his work that he created during his time as a patent clerk that really surged his career. Perhaps, if he had gotten a teaching job soon after graduation, or had never discovered he had an interest in science all together, he may have never produced the General Theory of Relativity. Jimi Hendrix had an interest in music at a young age. It has been noted that he used to strum a broom as if he were playing a real guitar. He would be given an old ukulele, and eventually an acoustic guitar to encourage his interest. But what if Jimi never discovered he had talent in playing the guitar because his life had taken him in another direction artistically?

Is having an interest in something a way for your brain to signal there could be potential, or is it by chance that an interest blooms into talent? We sometimes have to stop and wonder if certain things happen to us for a reason, eventually sparking our interest in learning about something in particular, or if they are by chance. That can make us question truly how much free will we really do have and how much power it is we have over our own actions in the present and our futures. When I was growing up, I was determined I was meant to be a rock star. That dream has unfortunately not come to fruition. I think that is a dream many youth hold, along with wanting to be an actor or model, or veterinarian, or doctor. We always dream large when we are in our youth, but somehow those big dreams slip away with reality. Reality, is however, what you make of it. We put our own limits upon ourselves. Of course, sometimes, we need to make the best choices, and

sometimes that is letting go of those childhood dreams, or incorporate them into our adult lives so that they can enhance who we are, not hinder us from growing. Time, I always say, is an investment you have to make wisely because once it is spent, it is gone. You will never be able to accumulate more, you just have to try and spend it on people worth spending it on, or towards an interest worth pursuing, and hopefully, on a career that makes one excited to wake up and head to the office/jobsite each morning. The hard part is knowing, or not knowing, when to let a dream go or when we need to work harder at achieving it. Life is not always fair, and sometimes that means you don’t always get out what it is you have put into something.

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch The weather When there is nothing else to talk about, we can always use the weather as our topic. Certainly, we can do that this week. I do not remember having heavy rainfall on so many days, one right after the other, as well as at night. When we see pictures of conditions in Windsor we can be grateful that Essex has good drainage. That was not always the case. Do you remember a picture of a father and son canoeing along Irwin Avenue? I am extremely thankful that the town officials built a new street where I live with curbs and gutters and a drain. The rainwater used to run off the roadway onto my property because the street was higher. Now the pavement is lower and of course the curb holds back the

water and it runs down the drain. Yes, I hear about residents complaining about flooded basements. I do remember water being across the road in the Woodslee area and I have not been there recently to see whether that is happening now. This year makes us wonder about climate change. Certainly we had hot, hot days, one after the other, for so long that the ground became extremely dry. Is Nature trying to compensate by soaking it now? You have all heard the adage, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a little while and it will change.” But, we have waited a long while and the rain continues. According to the weather reports, there were sunny days in the week-long forecast, so we can end this discourse about weather!

The personal importance of music by Jessica Azar Music has always been a part of my memories since early childhood. I can remember my Mother’s vinyl records: the beautiful Diana Ross on the cover of her 1980 album, “Diana,” Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” and of course the mounds of Motown and ‘70s funk classics. My brother Andrew and I would dance our butts off in the living room to ‘Good Lovin’ by the Young Rascals. These are important staples of my childhood memories. As well, Country music was being played at my grandparents’ house or in their cars. So I grew a taste for the classics as well. Some of my fondest memories with them were also shared with George Strait, Hank Williams Jr., Alan Jackson, and Dolly Parton in their musical forms. As a pre-teen of the ‘90s, I listened to the typical pop bands, such as The Spice Girls, N*Sync,

BSB, and my favourite, Hanson. These just name a few. I had the CDs (before iPods), posters on my walls, the dolls, the Tiger Beat magazines, etc. I was obsessed! Even as a preteen, I enjoyed these artists so much that it became aware to me music was going to be a priority in my life forever. When I hit High School, a misunderstood phase of my life, I began listening to Heavy Rock. 89X was my favourite station with my favourite DJ at the time, Phat Matt, who hosted the ‘People’s Choice’ after the Top 7 at 7pm. I was all about listening to Nirvana, Disturbed, Godsmack, Stained, Alice in Chains, and the list goes on. I would set myself up in my bedroom with my radio on, of course the door was shut, while putzing around with homework at my desk. Most likely, I was just thinking about boys I liked at the time. Soon after this phase I began my lifelong love and appreciation for Led Zeppelin. No band even comes close to that one in my heart. I have books, DVDs, documentaries, and albums. I can’t even count how many ‘tribute’ shows I’ve attended. Since that time, a good 10 years later, I have

a wide variety of tunes to which I listen. My iPod is a beautiful mess of different music. I buy all my music, partly because I’m not tech savvy enough to steal it, but mainly because I don’t mind paying for something I genuinely enjoy and respect. I’ve been to several concerts of all genres, and find myself fully merged with those live experiences. I love Rush, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Sam Cooke, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Clutch, Frank Sinatra, Zach Brown Band, and the eclectic list goes on. The soundtrack to my life is unique. We all have different musical tastes and appreciations. Music has the power to alter one’s emotions and to create lifelong memories. Music is so important and those of us who can appreciate it are so lucky to have it!

Essex Council Notes...

Library strike costs follow up Councillor Randy Voakes said at the previous meeting he requested that Council should send a legal letter to the County to determine a total amount spend to date on the library strike. He offered to pay to send this letter. His motion would be defeated, but Council would move to apply for the information through the Freedom of Information Act. Voakes said at the last Essex Council meeting it was discussed that the

Mayor and Deputy Mayor would raise this issue at County Council. Voakes inquired about the answer they received. Mayor Ron McDermott turned the matter to Director of Legislative Service/Clerk Rob Auger. Mayor McDermott said he wasn’t so sure he had direction from Council to speak to County Council. The Mayor further said that he would do it when Voakes said he wanted to send the legal letter. Auger said his office did make the formal request through the

Continued from Page 5

Freedom of Information Act. He was told from his counterpart at the County the request would be complied with. He said the County has 30 days to provide the information. McDermott said he did speak with Mary Brennan, Director of Council Services/Clerk, at the County Council meeting held on Wednesday, September 21 with regards to the request. He was told the Town had already sent its letter and that they had 30 days to get back to the Town. Voakes said he thought the Mayor and Deputy Mayor would have brought up this issue at County Council to raise the issue at a transparent opportunity at a meeting. His interpretation of the last Essex Council meeting was that the issue be handed over to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Voakes asked if the issue was raised. McDermott said the issue was not raised at a County Council meeting for the simple fact that the letter had been sent from the Town and he said he discussed the matter with individuals at the meeting and he was not, ”Going to do it on a soapbox in front

of County Council.” He continued that the issue was dealt with the way it was supposed to be dealt with, “Does it have to be in front of cameras and everything else, absolutely not,” he said. “So, I did exactly what I thought we were supposed to do.” McDermott called a Point of Order on Voakes when he began talking about his interpretation of the last meeting as he said the Mayor and Deputy Mayor did not do what he thought they were asked to do. McDermott said it was the end of the topic. When the Town moved onto the next issue, an individual from the gallery shouted, “What are you hiding?” The Mayor questioned if the individual wanted to stay in the chambers, “If you do, be quiet, Ok.” He said everyone knows better and will follow the rules whether they like it or not. He said he would be available to talk after the meeting. “We are going to follow the rules whether we like it or not,” he said. Later during the meeting, the Mayor said he received a note that the Town of Essex Policy does not allow picket signs. There were a few library

workers in the gallery with signs. He asked that they be put on the ground or up against the wall. He apologized. “We have to turn them around? After 101 days we have to turn them around,” one individual in the gallery asked. “That’s the policy,” McDermott said. Councillor Sherry Bondy made a motion that the signs be allowed for the meeting. She asked for a recorded vote. She said she thinks residents have a democratic right to protest and let their elected representatives know how they feel. She said there were two people in the gallery with signs and that they were not in anyone’s way. Only Councillors Bondy and Voakes were in favour of allowing the signs to be permitted that meeting in a recorded vote. Voakes said he was in favour as he said he knows of the policy at the meeting. He asked that the Clerk send him a copy of the policy to see if there is anything in there in regards to a labour disruption. Councillor Larry Snivey said he was opposed with regrets. McDermott said that is the Town’s policy, and

this has been dealt with a couple of times. He wanted the rules to be followed. Snively said he would like to see the strike settled and everyone back to work, but the Town has a policy in place on signs.

by Fred Groves In the shadow of the plane, its legacy and the memory lives on. And while the Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee has been officially dissolved, unofficially the members of the group that brought the replica WWII fighter plane to Essex still remain passionate about their accomplishment. On Thursday at the Essex Railway Station, several members of the Committee spoke to a group as part of the ElderCollege series. “This is by far the best part of my life, aside from having children and being married,” Committee member Suzanne Allison said. Wearing their wellknown red shirts, ‘the Squadron’ told of how they met, and how within nine short months were able to raise money, unite the community, and erect a replica Spitfire plane, like the one WWII fighter pilot Jerry Billing of Essex used to fly. Committee member Monica Totten’s husband, fiddler Todd Porter, and Jerry’s wife, Karen, have a common love of music and both play the fiddle. It was that instrument that ironically kicked off the notion of erecting a memorial to Jerry and all servicemen and women of the air force. “This got started with a broken fiddle.

Essex CIB Committee recognizes top gardens by Sylene Argent The Essex Communities in Bloom (CIB) Committee hosted its annual Awards Reception last Wednesday evening inside the hall at the McGregor Community Centre. The event was held to recognize a long list of top local gardeners who have shown civic pride through beautifying and enhancing the municipality. The Awards Reception is hosted annually to celebrate the top gardens recognized through the Essex CIB Committee’s annual Front Yard and Balcony Contest. These gardens were created at the entrants’ homes or at their commercial properties. Every year, Community members are urged to nominate neighbours who have eye-catching gardens into this contest. Many area residents, organizations, and commercial businesses were recognized for either helping to beautify the community or contributing to environmental causes. “We are here to celebrate your gardens and how proud we are you have done so,” Essex CIB Committee Chairperson Ron Rogers said to the award winners. The Committee is not just concerned about adding

flowers; the Committee is about, “Instilling pride in our community.” He explained that many “Five Bloom” winners, or top graded participants, in the contest were recognized during the award reception. Contestants in the commercial and residential categories were judges on slightly different criteria, but in both categories, tidiness and curb appeal were important. Several gardeners received “Forever in Bloom” awards during the event.

The Grade eight students present the tree to the kindergarten students who are to care for it as they proceed through elementary school. “I’ve always said, Communities in Bloom is the biggest thing that brought the whole municipality together,” Essex Mayor Ron McDermott said. “It’s unbelievable.” Members of the Essex CIB Committee live throughout the municipality and work together to enhance the whole community.

Affordable fashions on the runway by Sylene Argent The theme for the St. Vincent de Paul’s Society Shoppe Fashion Show on Saturday afternoon was that individuals can be trendy without spending a

lot of money. The Essex Centre St. Vincent de Paul Society Shoppe teamed up with the Holy Name Catholic Church’s CWL to host the event in the Church hall.

Rosanne Winger, the General Manager of the St. Vincent de Paul SocietyWindsor/Essex, said the event was hosted as a fun way to promote the Essex Centre store and show off

Holy Name students participate in annual Terry Fox Walk

by Sylene Argent While Terry Fox travelled throughout Canada in his quest to raise funds for Cancer research, he faced undesirable weather on route. With keeping that tenacity in mind, Holy Name Catholic Elementary School students didn’t mind combating a little rain on Wednesday morning to participate in the annual Terry Fox Walk. The event began with a mass in the school gym, where the students learned of the history of this event. The students then all walked down to Sadler’s Park and back to the school. They were grateful to be safely escorted by OPP Community Policing Officer Constable Sean Mackinnon, as they travelled along their event route.

The event was geared to be more of an awareness gig, but any proceeds raised will support the St. Vincent de Paul.

The store collects gently used items Monday to Saturday from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Holy Name grade 8 students from Mrs. Hasting’s and Mr. Gregetz’s classes led this initiative to help raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation with a mission to eliminate cancer. The students put up posters around the school to promote Holy Name’s annual Terry Fox Walk. These students also took on a leadership role in encouraging fellow students to bring in a “Toonie for Terry” during the daily announcements and in participating in the prayer service in honour of Terry Fox. The generosity of the students, and in wanting to support the cause, led to a total donation of $653 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Since 2005, Holy Name has donated over $5500 to this cause.

some of the items that can be available there. “It is a fun way to see the product,” she said. “You can find great second hand clothing.” Some of the items the volunteer models displayed included a wedding dress, fur coats, and some top of the line brands. Winger was pleased that over 50 individuals attended the fashion show, which also included a luncheon that the CWL provided. Those who attended the event had the opportunity to purchase the items that were displayed during the event. Anything not sold was brought back to the Essex store so that they could be later purchased by other patrons.

From the Sidelines - We all need to support new facility Essex Centre is moving forward with a new sports facility. Eventually it had to happen. Recently, Essex Minor Baseball Association hosted an OBA tournament – in McGregor. It was the first time it had decided to do that so since the 1990s. Technically, McGregor is in Essex and realistically EMBA has baseball teams from McGregor that have won provincial championships.

Essex Centre simply could not host the big event because, well frankly, it doesn’t have the facilities. That is about to change and it is way, way overdue, like by about 20 years. Three or four years from now we will see a brand new outdoor sports complex off of Highway 3. It won’t be in Harrow, or Colchester, or McGregor. However, with a municipal election less than a couple of years

Voice Of Inspiration “When you have an idea, it is like carbon. It has potential. To make it into a diamond, you need to put in hard work. When you have a diamond, it may not be perfect. You need to polish it, improve it. Only then is it

away, it could become an issue. Sorry, I don’t care. What I do care about is that finally Essex Centre is getting its due. I have listened for five years now from various baseball folks that the facilities weren’t there. Kudos to Town Council for taking a break from the childish bickering to actually get something done. This is a biggie. When I talked to Essex Community Services Director Doug Sweet last week about this new complex, he was beaming, because he knows. He knows that Essex is in the middle of the County and that is one reason Sun County Panthers ‘AAA’ hockey opted to relocate here from the city. He knows that the Essex Ravens who fled a couple of years back, will be very interested in returning. The most exciting

aspect of this new facility is that the possibilities are endless. How about frisbee golf, a driving range, lacrosse, this is our chance to dream and dream big. This is also an opportunity for minor baseball, soccer, and football to wave their banners and state what they want.

That is only possible if those organizations get full support from parents, volunteers, and community groups. Let us all in Essex Centre, and the entire municipality, realize what is possible and get behind this project.

way to make her passion for dance a career. Teskey began dancing when she was three-years old. Dancing, “Motivates me every day,” she said. “There is always something to learn.” She wanted to have the opportunity to reach out to youth in her hometown who also have a desire to want to become a professional dancer to follow their dreams. “Growing up, I didn’t think I could do it,” Teskey said of becoming a fulltime dance professional. “It is important people can see that with hard work and with the right opportunity, you can figure out what you want to do and make it happen.” She is hoping her success story will encourage others to follow their own dreams. The path to LA, for Teskey, began in Arizona. She received an opportunity to dance there as part of a LA company. She also worked in the company office. When the opportunity came up to be able to dance fulltime, she excitedly accepted the opportunity to move to LA. What made the transition to LA easier was that she had met people of the company while previously working in Arizona. She had met the director of the company before she had even graduated high school through taking classes. Though Teskey has made a life for herself in LA, she still gets to come home to visit friends and family three times a year, including during the holiday season. She is excited to embark on a US tour with the dance

Area midwife to assist in Haiti

On Saturday, September 24, members of the Essex & Community Historical Research Society invited area midwife Andrea Cassidy to talk about her upcoming volunteer trip to Haiti. She holds a typical midwife kit used in Haiti while displaying the equipment she uses in Canada on the table before her.

by Sylene Argent On Saturday, September 24, the Essex & Community Historical Research Society (ECHRS) hosted a presentation from Andrea Cassidy, an area midwife who will soon embark on a two week trip to Haiti where she will volunteer to assist in births, provide problematic symptom information to expecting mothers, and provide healthcare training. Cassidy said she has been a midwife within the region for 11 years. She works with Leamington District Memorial Hospital and Windsor Regional Hospital, as well as attends home deliveries that are believed to be low risk births. She can deliver up to 80 babies a year. Cassidy was approached by a colleague to assist in Haiti at the Midwives for Haiti Centre. She is humbled to be able to bring her skills to help with births and in training midwives there. She, and the group she will be travelling with, will also bring along supplies. In Haiti, with its very rural landscape, Cassidy said access to care for expecting mothers can be problematic. The Midwives for Haiti Centre, found around

10 years ago, offers a rigorous 12 month training program for Haitian nurses to become skilled birth attendants, a postnatal care program, and a mobile prenatal clinic. Cassidy plans to train the midwives there some emergency skills. “I’m excited to do this. It was my plan to bring my skills to other countries when I graduated,” she said. Cassidy is a graduate of the four year midwife program that is available through Ryerson. To help Cassidy and her team during their trip to Haiti, members of the ECHRS group provided

a few needed items off of the team’s wish list. To learn more about the Clinic or to forward supplies or monetary donations to Cassidy and her team, log onto www. midwivesforhaiti.org. Her team “Essex Kent Midwives for Haiti” can be found on the website. Watches with minute and second hands for keeping track of vital signs, fanny packs and hockey bags to carry equipment and supplies as well as baby blankets are greatly needed. To see the complete list of items they need, log onto the website.

Essex to unveil heritage plaque at EDHS submitted to EFP The Essex Municipal Heritage Committee will unveil its first interpretive plaque on Friday, October 7 at a special ceremony to be held at 10:00 a.m. at the main entrance of Essex District High School (244 Talbot Street North). Under the Town’s new Heritage Plaque Program, the Heritage Committee plans to install interpretive plaques at sites that have historical, cultural, and/ or social significance to the community but are not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. “Essex District High School was the first high school established in Essex County and the property it stands on has remained the site of a secondary school since 1885,” Deputy Mayor Richard Meloche, chairperson of the Heritage Committee said. “The committee wants

to recognize the school’s historical importance during the annual EDHS Homecoming weekend to ensure that alumni and members of the community have an opportunity to share in the celebration.” The interpretive plaque at EDHS is made of a durable recycled aluminum that is finished with a UV-protective enamel top coat to prevent fading. It is also solvent and graffiti resistant. The content of the plaque was prepared in consultation with the Greater Essex County DistrictSchool Board and architectural experts. It includes photographs of the school and provides details on changes to the facility over time. The Town launched its new Heritage Plaque Program in August with the unveiling of a bronze plaque at the Tofflemire-

Snider Cemetery on County Road 50. Under the program, bronze plaques are used to recognize a public or private site of historical significance that has been designated by bylaw under the Ontario Heritage Act. “The Heritage Committee has developed the Essex Heritage Plaque Program to broaden public knowledge about historical and cultural resources within the municipality,” Meloche said. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend the unveiling ceremony.

Group Greenway begins submitted to EFP Work on one of the region’s most anticipated trail project has begun as the Essex Region Conservation Foundation (ERCF), Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), and Cypher Systems Group broke ground on the Cypher Systems Group Greenway last Thursday afternoon. Dozens of donators, trail enthusiasts, municipal and federal contributors, and other corporate partners joined in the celebration. “Thanks to a generous and significant gift of $250,000 from Cypher Systems Group, and support from the Federal government, the Town of Essex, and many corporate and individual donations, we are so thrilled to be here to celebrate the groundbreaking of this long awaited trail,” Claire Wales, Vice President of the ERCF Board of Directors and a cycling enthusiast, said. “In total, the ERCF’s Trail On! Campaign has raised over $1 million to develop this trail! “We love this community and are happy to partner with this organization to expand the greenway and improve upon the health and quality of life in our region,” Brian Schwab, President of Cypher Systems Group, said. “The ground breaking of this trail has been years in the making and we are thrilled that we could contribute to such a worthy endeavor and be a part of this exciting event.” The abandoned rail line was first donated to the Foundation for development in 2003. This property stretches 26 kilometres, from the urban centre of Essex to the Town of Amherstburg, and intersects with the existing Chrysler Canada Greenway in McGregor. The Foundation launched its Trail On! Campaign in 2012 to raise the funds to complete the project. “Green spaces, trails, and a healthy environment directly contribute to our region being recognized as a place of choice for people to live, visit, and invest. Trails improve the communities where they are built, which is why we are so pleased to be celebrating another success with our partners,” Ed Sleiman, ERCA Chairperson, said. The Town of Essex took this opportunity to present a cheque for $100,000 to the project. “Strong local support and generous donations have ensured that this project became a reality. This donation

from the Town of Essex shows our appreciation to ERCA and the Essex Region Conservation Foundation and helps to ensure a sustainable future for all of us,” Essex Mayor Ron McDermott added. In addition to many corporate and individual contributors, the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program invested $500,000 in this trail project. Completing this greenway will support active living, promote economic diversity, and provide a meaningful outdoor experience for a healthier, more sustainable community. “This [is] a wonderful achievement to celebrate with our many supporters,” Richard Wyma, ERCA General Manager and the Executive Director of the Foundation, said. “Moving forward, the Conservation Foundation will continue to raise funds needed to establish new community entrances and trail connections. These investments will enhance our regional tourism industry, connect us to our communities and our landscapes, ensuring the Windsor-Essex-Pelee Island region is the place for life.”

Tire,” Totten recalled. One reason the plane became an important project is that there used to be a mural on the building, but it was torn down. “Essex was proud of Jerry. He sat in his car, on his birthday, and watched the mural being demolished,” Bob Swaddling, a long-time friend of Jerry Billings, said. Every member of the Spitfire Squadron brought a unique talent to the project. Michael Beale and Michael Kohuch had extensive experience with the historical aircraft group in Windsor.

Continued from Page 7

Swaddling and Jerry’s son Erik oversaw the assembly of the replica when it arrived in Essex at the Memorial Arena. “We’ve been around the block doing this aviation stuff,” Kohuch said. Karen Billing recalled how she met Jerry back in 1957 when she was teaching ballroom dancing, and Erik gave a brief but very informative history of his father’s military career. Jerry Billing holds the world record for most years flying a Spitfire, 56. “He loved flying, that was his life,” Karen said.

22 I Opinion/Sports Essex Free Press

Terry Bee of Leamington, Ontario, was born in 1940 and bought his first car when he was around 17. It was a reddish-coloured 1942 Hudson coupe with a flathead straight eight engine under the rear-opening hood. A family from Michigan living nearby owned it and it had been stored in their garage for a number of years. Terry decided it was the perfect car to drive to the University of Guelph, where he was a student. The car had an original radio mounted in the dash and a button on the floor to change the stations. What a great safety feature! Terry could switch from station to station all the way to Guelph without taking his hands off the wheel. And you can be sure he was searching for the latest hit by Elvis the “Pelvis” or Jerry Lee Lewis. The other students at Guelph noticed Terry’s car right away, thanks to the Candy Apple Red paint job that Terry had applied over the original finish. They all piled in one day and went for a spin. The car conked out while going up a hill, possibly from an overheated coil, so all the boys climbed out and started pushing it. A bunch of farmers were sitting on a nearby front porch watching these university students heading for a big problem. After Terry’s Hudson reached the top of the hill, it began rolling down the other side with no one in it! The boys had to run after it and catch up to it while the farmers had a good laugh while watching these well-educated young men chasing after their runaway car. Terry’s 1942 Hudson coupe was relatively rare even when new because production of all cars stopped in February 1942 because of the war. Hudson built 40,661 vehicles in 1942, less than half the production for 1941. In February 1932, the Hudson Motor Company of Detroit opened a branch “Expecting the world to treat you fairly because plant in Tilbury, Ontario, you’re a good person is like expecting a bull not where the Hudson and to attack you because you’re a vegetarian.” Terraplane were built for the next several years. ~ Dennis Wholey After World War Two, competition with the Big Three was fierce and Hudson joined with Nash in 1954 to form American Motors. The last car to bear the Hudson name was built in 1957. 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.

Puempel scores in pre-season game by Fred Groves It didn’t take Essex’s Matt Puempel long to score for the Ottawa Senators last Thursday night. In pre-season action, he found the back of the net just 1:41 into the game as the Sens beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in overtime. Puempel logged 13:25 in total ice time, including time on the power play. On Saturday, he had three shots on goal, a hit, and logged more time on the power play as the Sens were edged 3-2 in overtime by the Canadiens. • It was another great run for Alivia Acampora from Essex District High School as she placed fourth overall at a crosscountry meet in Sarnia. Also doing well were Montana Wilkins, who was 11th, and Nicole Desrosiers, who had a 15th place finish. The Red Raiders senior girls’ team was second behind Sarnia Northern. • Brent Davison scored all three touchdowns and booted three extra points last Tuesday as the EDHS Red Raiders junior football team beat Belle River 23-6. • Justin Orton wrapped up the fall season with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds batting .333. His younger brother, Jeremy, who was with Madonna College is recovering from an injury. • In volleyball action last week, the junior Red Raiders boys’ team

knocked off Brennan in three games, 25-19, 2826, and 25-20. Meanwhile the senior side won two of three over the Cardinals, and were beaten twice and won once over St. Joseph’s. • The Essex District High School senior boys’ football team had a strong defensive game on Friday as it blanked host Sandwich 13-0. Nash Prieur and David Reaume scored touchdowns for the winners. The Red Raiders will host General Amherst on Friday at 7 p.m. as part of its Homecoming festivities. • Still with football, big offensive lineman

Brandon Revenberg, drafted third overall by the Hamilton Ti-Cats of the CFL, has started the past three games in place of the injured Peter Dykowski. The Ti-Cats are 6-8 in the East. • From Leamington Raceway on Sunday, Mark Williams drove Belle Be Said to a win in the ninth race and in the tenth was third with Dusty Lane Diego.

73’s Offense falls off submitted by Garrett Fodor While the Essex 73’s remained unbeaten after their second week of the season, its offense was nearly non-existent in a pair of recent games. If it wasn’t for a strong goaltending performance, the team’s position in the standings may be different. After combining for 12 goals in the previous two games, the 73’s mustered just three in the following two. Although Essex did appear to fix a problem, after allowing eight goals in the same span, the team cut it down to two this past week. The 73’s first game of the week was on September 27 against the Mooretown Flags. In this game, it was Essex that paced the visitors, as players controlled the puck and spent a majority of their time getting pucks towards the net. However, Flags goaltender Nolan Hakr stood on his head making saves that fans could not fathom. As a

result, the game remained scoreless heading into the third period. It was a line of veterans for Essex who finally broke through, with William Stadder and Michael Vieira combined on a 2-on-1. However, in the final minute of the game, Matthew Badour was beaten on a scrambling play with only 23 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the seven minutes of overtime neither team was able to find the mesh behind two hot goalies. The score remained 1-1, to give Essex a record of 2-0-1 heading into its game Friday against Lakeshore. William Stadder who assisted on the lone goal, believes the tie will be crucial for the team’s success. “ I think it’s kind of like a reality check,” said Stadder. “We kind of have to bring it every night it’s not always going to be easy for us and Mooretown brought it tonight. So we have to be

able to answer to that, in the room right now we’re kind of taking it in and learning from it.” Unlike Friday’s game, Essex had all its scoring in the first period, as Lakeshore’s Brandon Ireland opened the scoring just three minutes in, beating Tyler Ryan on a controversial goal. However, Essex’s Tyler Boughner responded just two minutes later to tie things up. The scoring ended there in regulation to send the game to overtime. After Stadder fell awkwardly into the boards, Essex turned its game around and capitalized. Defenceman Anthony
