Fire Hall Open House a favourite of Fire Prevention Week

which tie in with Fire Prevention Week, have a different theme.

This year it was smoke alarms. Ò Working smoke alarms save lives,Ó said Essex Fire and Rescue Chief Ed Pillon. “We want people to test their smoke alarms every month.”

Pillon explained that younger kids are the best way to get their message out, because kids teach their parents.

The open house was scheduled to start at 6 p.m. but shortly after 5p.m. trucks full of children could be seen around town. Ò They showed up early so we started early,” said Pillon.

Woodslee residents meet Lakeshore candidates

These candidates took part in the Woodslee Community Association’s Meet the Candidates evening at the Woodslee Community Centre on Tuesday, October 7. Pictured front row from left to right are the Ward 5 candidates Dan Diemer, Connie Bruner, Daniel Monk, and Gerry Fontaine. Back row: Deputy Mayor candidates: Ray Lalonde, Jacques Goulet, and Al Fazio (pictured far right), and Mayoral candidates Rick Teno and Tom Bain.

by Sylene Argent The Woodslee

Community Association, based out of the Woodslee

Community Centre and St. John the Evangelist School, invited the community out to the facility in Woodslee on Tuesday evening, October 7, to meet the Lakeshore candidates running in for municipal office on October 27.

Around 200 community members attended the Meet-the-Candidates event. The candidates

included Mayoral, Deputy Mayoral, and Councillor candidates for LakeshoreÕ s Ward 5, which includes Woodslee.

Two candidates are running for Mayor, Tom Bain and Rick Teno; and three candidates for Deputy Mayor, Al Fazio, Jacques Goulet, and Ray Lalonde. The Ward 5 Councillor candidates at the Meet the Candidates

night were Connie Bruner, Dan Diemer, Gerry Fontaine and Daniel Monk.

At the event, the candidates explained why they thought they are best suited for the job and also answered a variety of questions, including how important trail systems are, what they would propose to do about heavy traffic areas, what their stance is regarding wind turbines, and how they would maintain roads and other services.

Steve Chevalier of the Woodslee Community Association was one of the organizers of the event. He was happy with the turn out. He said the information the residents gathered would help them narrow down who they would like to represent them at council over the next four years.

He was also happy the participating candidates took the time to attend.

Chevalier said that the Woodslee Community Association began planning the Meet the

Candidates evening over a year-and-a-half ago.

With Woodslee being a small hamlet in a large municipality, the organization wanted to host an event that would provide residents an opportunity to meet those vying for the council positions.

The Woodslee Community Association hosts a variety of classes out of the Woodslee Community Centre and St. John the Evangelist School for all ages in achieving its motto of fulfilling the spiritual, physical, emotional, community, intellectual, altruistic, and local needs of the community. Hosting the Meet the Candidates event was just another way of working to serve the community.

Chevalier said he received a lot of positive feedback.

Continued Essex Council Notes for October 6

by Sylene Argent Surplus Memorial Arena items Essex Council moved the recommendations that the proper authorization be provided to the Essex Community Services Department to obtain pricing for the sale of the surplus refrigeration equipment and the 1999 Olympia ice resurfacer, and that these items be declared as surplus. It was also recommended the funds received from the sale of the Olympia be put in a reserve for a future new ice resurfacing unit for the Essex Centre Sports Complex.

In the report to Council it notes that these items are surplus as the

Essex Memorial Arena completed its final ice season as an ice rink on March 29. Since then, its refrigeration plant and system have been decommissioned. There are various parts and items available for resale.

Essex to implement dock replacements Essex Council moved the recommendations to receive Community ServiceÕ s report Ò Colchester Harbour Dock Replacement,Ó to approve the first phase of the dock replacement at the Colchester Harbour and approve funding of for the Colchester Harbour Dock replacement of Ò AÓ float from the reserve.

Voice Of Inspiration

Ò If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.Ó ~ Amit Ray

$40,000 will come from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for this project.

In the report to Council it states that during the 2013 budget deliberations Essex Council directed Administration to hold money in reserves for the dock replacement project and to contact the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to see if it would cost share on the project.

After discussions with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans it was decided that the Town would develop a phasein plan on replacing the docks. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans would provide funding up to $40,000 for the first phase of the project, including taxes.

There is currently $376,962 in the Colchester Harbour Dock Replacement Reserve.

The anticipated phaseone project cost is around $210,000.

This will include new serviced slips on dock Ô A,Õ replacing the non-serviced slips on dock Ô BÕ with the old serviced slips from dock Ô A,Õ and disposing of old docks from the site.

Harrow Shoppers expansion Essex Council moved the recommendations to approve the rezoning amendment of lands by adding a supplementary regulation to permit a maximum gross floor of 985 square meters to the Harrow Shoppers Drug Mart facility for a retail store. This is for a purposed expansion.

The report to Council notes ShopperÕ s proposed expansion will increase the gross floor area from 583 square meters to 983.8 square meters. The existing parking lot is also to be expanded, including the development of additional parking on town-owned lands.

The report explains that the TownÕ s Zoning Bylaw 1037 restricts the maximum gross floor area of retail stores to 250 square meters. Since the

I think itÕ s important to thank those who stand for political office in an election – and that includes thanking those who might not get your vote.

Times have changed and campaigning has changed as well, especially in a municipal election. Gone are the preamalgamation days of working small neighbourhoods, of simply convincing enough family members, friends and acquaintances that you are the right man or woman for the job.

Campaigning now includes significant expense. It also requires sacrifice – time away from family and friends as night after night you knock on doors and talk to constituents.

And if you get the job, you’ll find the job has become harder.

Municipalities are larger, more diverse, and the issues are more complex. The upper tiers of government have downloaded more onto municipalities.

ThereÕ s also tougher competition for tax dollars, as municipalities strive to outdo each other to attract new

residents, new businesses and get grant money. And all the while they have made sure the tools they are putting in place to do this, doesnÕ t break the bank.

Put simply, municipalities are like many corporations operating in todayÕ s world. They are expected to do more, with less.

ItÕ s great so see a healthy ballot as a voter, to see choices, and to have to choose.

Having to choose – and getting to choose – is a key competent to living in a democracy. ThatÕ s why oneÕ s vote is so important.

If candidates can spend their nights canvassing neighbourhoods, preparing for and participating in debates, putting signs on lawns, and getting ready for the moment that they might sit on council, then the voter can spend five minutes to fill out his/her ballot.

Making a choice and filling out a ballot is recognition of the effort the candidate put in, in an attempt to win the election.

Voting is the best way to say, thank you.

Letter to the Editor In Harrow, on September 30, the local BIA sponsored an all candidates meeting for the Harrow and Colchester wards. Every one of the mayoral candidates and candidates for councillor made similar promises about more spending on infrastructure and about being responsible with our taxes. This would be possible only if dreams were real.

Not one of the candidates spoke about the lack of financial controls in the town of Essex. Not one tried to explain the need to again increase our taxes or explain why spending went over budget last year by $100,000.

Not one candidate tried to explain why that behaviour was rewarded by increasing this yearÕ s budget by $200,000.

Only one candidate briefly mentioned that the increased spending raised our taxes by more than 5%.

At first glance, many people will look at last year’s overspending and believe that this yearÕ s increased budget has solved that problem. Not so. The lack of financial controls and the lack of any deep understanding on the part of the present mayor and present council got us into the mess and that type of naive belief given to the reports from administration will not get us out of the situation. Having held a variety of management positions in industry, including Finance Director for one money-

Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Voting by mail If you received your ballot for voting in the municipal election you could vote next day by following the directions and dropping it in the mail.

I wonder what the candidates think of that. What is the purpose for them in knocking on doors or mailing information about themselves if most people have submitted their vote?

Sure, there will be those who are still wondering but if people are like myself, it is easy to set that ballot information aside and forget to submit it in time to be counted.

I guess that thought is not really an issue because so many voters failed to exercise that privilege in past elections My reaction when I received my ballot in the mail was complete it now and mail it. But when I started to do that I had thoughts about whom I should support. Maybe I

would learn more about each one in the coming days.

Already it appears to be a tight race between the mayor and one of the candidates. I never saw so many signs for McDermott, nor as many larger ones in previous elections so that makes me think he is aware he has tough competition.

Do voters choose according to that publicity? If many are like one woman who talked to me about the election, the signs and mailed brochures should be effective. She said, Ò I just pick a nameÓ . I wanted to scold her.

losing division of a multinational, IÕ ve seen this before.

As a board member and past treasurer of a large national nonprofit, I know where this is going.

Essex is now where Amherstburg was a few years ago.

Does anybody here want to keep following that path?

Couldn’t happen here, you exclaim? Why not? We have a new CAO in Essex; look at how much that helped Amherstburg. Anyone want more local examples? How about Detroit? What happened to the Windsor Public Library; have they recovered yet? Anybody remember that little outfit in Leamington that used to process tomatoes? Warren Buffet and a few other rich friends saw an opportunity to make more money by closing several poorly managed Heinz manufacturing plants.

Don’t forget about another local organization that takes taxes from us. The Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board was so far in debt that the provincial government took over the management. With so many examples around us, why couldn’t it happen here?

Earlier this year our council passed a budget

increasing our taxes by more than 5%. At the same time, Windsor council passed a budget increasing taxes by Zero and they did that for the sixth year in a row. In comparison, how did we do over that period?

In the ten years since amalgamation, how many times has Essex council passed a zero increase budget? Since many of the current crop of candidates were members of local councils before amalgamation, ask them how many times their councils voted for zero increases.

It’s possible. Windsor has proved that. It’s possible here in Essex if council members had the credentials, experience and will to do it.

I’ve looked at Essex candidates’ biographies, in the media, on their web-sites and in several of their handouts. I’ve also looked at the candidates running in Kingsville and in Amherstburg. The backgrounds of several Kingsville candidates include experience in financial matters. The backgrounds of those running in Essex and in Amherstburg tell me two things. First, no matter who gets elected in Amherstburg, they will continue to be mired in their financial mess. Second, no matter who gets elected in Essex, we will continue down the same bleak 2 col xpath 2” with overspending and lack of financial control.

That doesn’t have to happen here. If you hear In House a candidate brave enough to say that Lana infrastructure spending must be delayed be sure you vote for that person. Encourage everyone else to also vote for that person.

Ask your candidates, for mayor and for council, where are we currently with spending against this year’s budget; how far over budget are we at this point.

After the election, hold the new council accountable, at every council meeting each of them should know and understand where our administration is over or under

ideas.

The correspondence about this proclamation was sent from the Ontario Lung Association. It asked Council to support and increase awareness about lung health by making this proclamation.

Exemption to Park operation Bylaw The Harrow Kinsmen asked for an exemption to the Town’s Public Parks Bylaw so the members could host the Harrow’s Haunted Frightening Forest event at Kinsmen Participark on Friday, October 24 and Saturday, October 25 until midnight.

Student Council at EDHS

by Emily Ferriss The Essex District High School student council is an eager group of students looking to make a difference in both the school and our community.

Organizing everything from assemblies and spirit days to dances and fundraisers, this is a group of students who are willing to work hard and get things done.

Events that the student council are planning and have already planned in the 2014-2015 school year at Essex High School, include the yearly grade nine retreat, regular pep rallies, semi-

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2014 MUNICIPAL ELECTION

formal, homecoming and the spring talent show.

These students work hard to keep the school spirit high, and give not only the student body but the staff as well, something to look forward to throughout the year.

The student body votes in the student council through an election that takes place in class.

Students are given a ballot with the names of whoever is running for a Student Council position.

The election process is a few weeks long and it takes place at the end of the year, with students voting in council for the upcoming school year.

Student council reps hold their position for the entire school year.

EDHSÕ s current student council President is Carly Davidson, a grade 11 student, and our Prime Minister is grade 12 student Olivia Bernath.

Olivia Bernath is also the youth representative on regular town council.

The creation of a youth rep position for Essex Council was a suggestion that came from the town’s current C.A.O., Russ Phillips. After meeting with interested youth, council voted in favour of Phillips suggestion and there is a youth rep that acts as a non-voting member of council.

The purpose of the Essex Youth Representative is to give youth a voice on council.

The rep attends council meetings, gives opinions and asks questions. The only thing they cannot do is vote.

The program passed its first year mark. While it is a fairly new thing, it seems to be working well with the Essex council and the idea has even attracted the interest of other municipalities.

The 2014 Municipal Election will be conducted electronically in the Town of Kingsville. This means that you will vote using the internet or your telephone any time from:

Friday, October 17, 2014 at 8:30 AM to Monday, October 27, 2014 at 8:00 PM Voter Information Letters will be mailed out on October 9th, 2014 to everyone who is on the Voters’ List.

The Voter Information Letter will include a Voting Personal Identification Number (Voting PIN) and detailed instructions on how to vote. You will have twenty minutes to complete all voting.

Voters are encouraged to take advantage of the extended voting period.

Voting will not be permitted after 8:00 PM on October 27, 2014.

Are you entitled to vote?

Are you on the Voters’ List?

Residents were able to join Essex staff for the walk, starting at three

Windsor also joined in this festivity at over 20 different sites located throughout the region, which promoted the idea of taking the time every day to schedule in some active living activities, such as taking a walk, which will help residents live healthier lives.

Organizers were hoping to attract 1000 participants to the 12 OÕ clock Walk locations set up throughout the region.

Each participant had the opportunity to socialize with other community members during the around 15 minute walk, a chance to get in on some giveaways, learn about a three-month Ò in motionÓ challenge for a chance to win even more prizes, and perhaps get into the habit of taking a walk every day.

Essex is a partner of the Windsor-Essex Communities In Motion, and this organization and its partners are using the 12 OÕ clock walk as a way to promote physical activity, and show how easy it is to fit in a daily

CRTC Commissioner impressed with Gosfield North Communications

by Jennifer Cranston The CRTC Commissioner for Ontario Region, Raj Shoan, was in Cottam on Monday Oct. 6 to tour Gosfield North CommunicationsÕ operation.

The growing company got the attention of the Commissioner as indicated by his later comment on Twitter saying that he was Ó impressedÓ with what the local cooperative is doing.

The independent

telecommunications company has been expanding its service area and installing fibre optics at every opportunity. It offers telephone service, internet and television.

They currently offer fibre to the node, fibre to the home and something they are calling “fibre to the farm.Ó “Farmers are a market that would never be served by a larger company,Ó said Rob Petruck, Chief Executive and Technology Officer

“We are the first company in Canada to “Gig” service to residential customers,” he said. “Our television offers the best picture you’ve ever seen.”

They are delivering the fastest internet speed available in North America. The service is better that what is available in most of the country, including Toronto.

The company also offers television service on par with major cable and satellite companies, offering 180 stations.

CRTC Commissioner for Ontario Region visited Gosfield Telecomunications last week and enjoyed a tour by Cheif Executive and Technology Officer Rob Petruk.

for Gosfield North Communications. He said that their farm service can bring out-door wi-fi to the entire farm so that farmers can access the internet

while they’re working.

He explained that fibre optic lines are a glassbased replacement for old copper lines. It delivers signals at superior quality.

Petruck is especially proud of their affiliate agreement with CFTVDT. The local television station is based in Cottam and is carried nationwide by bigger cable and satellite companies. Those who get their television signal from an antenna might notice that channel 34 is “multi-plexed” like American stations. It is the first Canadian station to do this, offering 34-1 through 34-4.

“They produce a lot of local content right here in Cottam and Essex

As they grow, and expand, and operate on the leading edge of technology, what really makes Gosfield North Communications successful is its commitment to hometown style service. Ò The personal touch is the most important part of our service,Ó said Petruck.

Customers may be able to see caller ID and voicemail that pop up on their television, but they can also arrange to get a morning wake-up call.

Being able to access

Over a six week period, the Essex County Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic and Sabga Physiotherapy Centre are teaming up to host a healthy living program on Thursday evenings as an outlet to teach interested residents the ins and outs of creating and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

On Thursday, October 9, these two partners presented the first of the classes to the group of community members who committed to taking this free six week course. This session gave an overview of the program and explained what will occur over the next several weeks.

Essex County Nurse Practitioner Led-ClinicÕ s Registered Dietician Tania McNamara explained the goal of this program is to provide tips to help give the clinicÕ s attendees the information they would need to either begin or maintain their own healthy living program.

During the duration of this program, McNamara and Sabga Physiotherapy CentreÕ s Theven Sabga will provide helpful tips

NEWS RELEASE

Switch Back to Chloramination Beginning on Tuesday, October 21st, 2014, the Union Water Supply System (UWSS) will be switching back to a chloramination method for secondary disinfection of its treated water. UWSS provides treated drinking water to the Municipality of Leamington, Town of Kingsville and parts of the Town of Essex and Town of Lakeshore for distribution to their residential, commercial and industrial customers. This change to chloramination will conclude the use of free chlorine for secondary disinfection that was implemented by UWSS on April 27th, 2014.

This 6-month long temporary change to free chlorine for secondary disinfection was conducted to facilitate a long term maintenance program on the system and to control bacterial re-growth within the distribution system. The UWSS has been using chloramination for secondary disinfection since 2004 to provide a longer lasting disinfectant in the distribution system.

Your drinking water will remain safe to consume throughout the temporary conversion process. The UWSS is working very closely with the Windsor-Essex Community Health Unit, the Ministry of Environment, Ontario Clean Water Agency and water distribution staff from the municipalities of Leamington, Kingsville, Essex and Lakeshore to plan and carry out this work. Regular monitoring of drinking water quality will continue throughout the process.

As the transition in water chemistry moves through the distribution pipes, you may notice a slight change in the taste and odour of your tap water. The mild chlorine taste and odour is normal and poses no health risk. Slight discolouration of cold water may also occur during the switch. This can typically be addressed by running the water for a few minutes.

Additional information on the chloramination, including Frequently Asked Questions, is available on the UWSS website at www.unionwater.ca .

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the UWSS treatment plant at (519) 326-4447 or contact your local municipal water department.

will help the participants set goals and teach ways to avoid slipping back into old habits.

There are many reasons people want to learn about how to develop a healthy lifestyle, McNamara said.

Some people have, or want to prevent, a chronic issue, others may want to feel healthier, and some may want to shed some weight. This program, she added, will work for all of these cases.

Components of this healthy living program include looking at eating habits, exercise, and support provided by friends and family.

Another component is recognizing behavior.

And behavior can be anything from being exposed to fast food, or eating to celebrate or for comfort. Some habits are learned, and others are developed.

McNamara explained there is a difference between dieting and

it benefits; however, a healthy lifestyle allows room for favourite foods in moderation.

She noted dieting tends to be restrictive and cut out certain foods. When fuel and nutrients are not eaten, the metabolism suffers. And when an

the metabolism is lower than when it was started, she said.

All foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle, McNamara added. Healthy living components can be worked into everyday

Raiders past, present and honorary come home for EDHS Homecoming

by Jennifer Cranston Last Friday evening families and groups of friends could be seen walking towards Essex District High School with blankets in hand, proudly wearing the schoolÕ s colors. Parking lots and

roadsides near the school were filled with cars.

Homecoming is an event for the whole community. In 2005, EDHS held a homecoming event in celebration of the schoolÕ s 120th anniversary and it has been building on it ever since.

This yearÕ s event on Oct. 10 was marked by the addition of entertainment for the adult members of the Raiders community.

The evening began with a steak dinner followed by an exciting game of football between EDHS Red Raiders and the Massey Mustangs. At 8 p.m. a dance for the students kicked off and following the game at around 10 p.m. a live concert by Area 51 got started. There were also homecoming events held at the school during the day. Ò ItÕ s for people to come home and reminisce,Ó said

Joe Amicarelli, EDHS teacher and Homecoming organizer. Ò I want people to know that the Friday before Thanksgiving is a time for alumni and the rest of the Raider community to come together. Why wait years for a reunion?Ó Former principal, Tony Omar, was enjoying a steak dinner and some good company before the game. Ò ItÕ s the best event in Essex,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s also an opportunity to see old friends and catch a good

game.Ó Jeremy Orton is in grade 12 and for him itÕ s about more than a football game. He and his volleyball teammates were decked out in full Raider colours to cheer on their fellow athletes on the field.

“It’s a day to reflect on all our sports and athletes and recognize all the work that teachers and students do,Ó he said.

The final score of the game was 10 to 7 for the Mustangs.

Six-week program discusses healthy living... life. It is important for those looking to improve their health to self-monitor and be accountable. Ò It takes work to lose weight slowly,Ó McNamara said. Implementing healthy living strategies can also help keep weight off. Living by Ò The 80/20 RuleÓ helps to guide people to eat well most of the time. She encourages people, when eating, to stop after feeling satisfied, not when they feel full or over-full. She also encourages people to wait and see how they feel after 20 minutes before they eat more.

To make the most of the program, McNamara said, it is important those individuals implement healthy living tips that they can live with for a lifetime. Ò You have to love the life you are living while you are losing,Ó she said. She advises that making small and sustainable changes are great steps to take to become healthier.

When implementing exercise

opportunities into a routine, it is best to find ways to ensure it is something that can be done over the long term. For example, if exercise is implemented that is too strict, this may not be successful.

Sabga commented that in learning ways to improve oneÕ s lifestyle, it is important to add exercise that will be sustainable into routines. She suggests starting small and continuing to build on that personal exercise program.

It is recommended that an individual get a minimum of thirty minutes of exercise a day. And that can be broken down into intervals. Someone looking to lose weight may need to set more time aside for daily exercise.

She commented that as the program progresses, she and the clinic attendees would delve deep into the world of exercise. Ò You will be exposed to many new ideas and techniques,Ó she said, noting in week two the clinic participants would be able to try Tai Chi. A new

exercise would be introduced every two weeks so that individual can become accustomed to it.

Inactivity, Sabga explained, affects physical and mental health. This could result in a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, weakness, osteoporosis, obesity, stiffness, and high blood pressure. There are many benefits of implementing exercise into daily routines, including improving cardiovascular health, building strength, promoting joint health, helping to maintain weight loss, and improving muscular strength. The more intense the exercise, the more calories are burned, but exercise does not need to be high intensity. It can also improve moods and help blow off steam as endorphins are released.

Implementing exercise into daily routines can be as simple as going for a walk, joining a team, or taking on an activity like Tai Chi. Ò If you are

Continued from Page 11

not having fun, you will not maintain it. It has to work for you,Ó Sabga said, adding exercise can boost energy and promotes better sleep. If there are health concerns, contact a professional before implementing exercise, she added.

A typical exercise program should have a flexibility, aerobic, and strengthening component, and it should also include a warm up to prevent injury, an endurance or aerobic activity, and then the cool down time.

Over the course of this program, the participants are encouraged to keep a food and physical activity log. This will help identify patterns and behavior, and will help determine if there are nutrients missing in their diets.

At the October 16 meeting, the program participants will learn about developing an active lifestyle and learn the basics of nutrition.

The Voice Of Experience

by Evelyn Couch

Paying respect The letter to editor from Cathy Valentino interested me very much because I share her thought about paying respect.

I find it very disturbing to see so very few standing at attention when God Save the Queen or our National Anthem are being played or sung.

CathyÕ s letter expressed dismay about so many men not removing their hats or caps. I expect

everyone to stand at attention as well.

Cathy says she was taught to show respect on those occasions, I wonder if she were taught to stand at attention, and where she learned the need for men to remove their hats.

I learned those ideas at school. Our teachers were very strict about it. One boy got the strap when he wore his hat at his desk. After we marched into the classroom at the beginning of the day we had to stand at attention while we sang the two tributes to our queen and country.

It is not just a gesture.

When I was at attention I had a feeling of pride, of loyalty, as well as respect.

This was something very

precious.

Is it no longer taught at school? I know the LordÕ s Prayer has been cancelled because people new to our country and of different faiths objected to being subjected to it. But this is entirely different.

As citizens, we should share pride in our country therefore there should not be a reason to drop that training in school.

One time when I was at a November 11 service a young Scout definitely saluted at attention during the National Anthem so I made a point of commending him for doing so. Is the Scout program the only place where this loyalty it respected?

Atom Ravens help fill Community Closet

by Jennifer Cranston The Atom Minor Essex RavenÕ s hockey team was

at Foodland on Saturday collecting canned goods for Essex Community

ServiceÕ s Community Closet.

The Community Closet

is a new program that focuses on short term necessities for individuals and families in crisis.

The idea is to hold people over until they can make connections with other services in the community. Ò This town has great organizations like the Essex Area Food Bank and the Salvation Army who provide ongoing sustainable support,Ó said ECS Community Awareness Coordinator Matt Kraus.

Kraus explained that ECS is not a food bank and it is important that they are not mistaken for one.

The service is designed to help victims of fire or domestic violence, displaced teens, people with immediate shelter and food security issues.

Part of the service includes getting people in touch with organizations that can provide more long-term solutions. Ò If all we are is a conduit to get them to existing service; that makes a difference,Ó he said.

The purpose of the food drive was to get a few basics in their limited storage area. Kraus is hoping that people who want to help out will consider

donating gift cards for grocery stores or drug stores. Cash donations are also welcome. They will accept donations of food and toiletries. Any excess items will be re-donated to the two food banks in town.

Kraus was impressed with the hockey teamÕ s willingness to help out, and very grateful to Essex Foodland and the staff for letting them hold the drive there. Ò WeÕ re very grateful to have partners in the community,Ó he said.

United Way kicks off County Campaign

by Jennifer Cranston United Way officials, sponsors and donors gathered at Cooper’s Hawk Vineyards on Tues.

Oct. 7 to celebrate the United Way’s kick off in the County event.

Dave Hitchcock of Essex is Chair of the United Way WindsorEssex County Board of Directors. He pointed out that one never knows

when they are going to be the one needing help.

“No one knows when they’re going to need help,” he said. “I learned that when my mother had a car accident and needed home support.”

Last year United Way helped 47,000 people in Windsor and Essex County, 10,000 of those people were in the county.

This year’s fundraising

goal is $5.2 million. If they reach it they will be able to help more than 5,000 more people than last year.

The United Way developed its “new direction” in 2009-2010 with a focus on reducing poverty, supporting families and children and strengthening communities.

CAO Lorraine Goddard says since then they have seen measurable success in these areas.

She explained that poverty is on the rise and access to food is a growing problem in our community.

“Our food strategy includes better quality and quantity of food in food banks,” she said.

Goddard said that over the last five years the Food Rescue Program has rescued close to 4 million lbs of food from producers, restaurants and other sources that would have gone to waste, and redirected it to food banks.

United Way Windsor Essex County CEO Lorraine Goddard talks about how her organization is supporting families and fighting poverty in Essex County at the United Way County Kick-Off event.

Financial stress brings emotional stress and this region is being hit hard.

Goddard is very proud of improvements made to counseling services with the help of United Way. “Counseling is in high demand,” she said. “Wait times (for a counselor) have gone from 12 weeks

to zero.”

Every community in Essex County has at least one counselor, so people can stay closer to home and they don’t have to wait at all.

ACCESS is an organization that is making a difference in the community with the help

of United Way. Executive Director Jenna Foley said that ACCESS has many programs supported

by United Way. One of those programs is the community garden and nutrition program.

ACCESS volunteers grow food in the community garden in Kingsville that goes to feed those in need throughout the community. They also offer a community kitchen program where people learn to cook the

food theyÕ re learning to grow. They can also learn to preserve garden produce so they can eat healthy all year long. This year so far the garden has produced about 5,000 lbs of food, which works out to about $19,000 worth of

produce.

October 21, 2004 In our thoughts you are always near, still loved, still missed, still very dear. But happy memories we keep forever of days when we were all together. In heaven you rest, no worries, no pain, but in our hearts you will always remain. ~ Missed But Never Forgotten ~ Gary and Maureen ____________________________________________________

In Loving Memory Of...

Harvey Lafferty III October 16, 1999 I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

Ryan, McIntyre pace 73’s over Canadiens

Essex forward Dallas Pereira battles for a puck in front of the 73’s bench.

by Fred Groves After three years together, overage forwards Daniel McIntyre and Jordan Ryan are poised to lead the Essex 73Õ s to hopefully another Great Lakes Junior Ô CÕ Hockey League championship and beyond.

Last Tuesday night,

they each contributed offensively as the locals beat their biggest rivals, the Lakeshore Canadiens, 7-3 in a game that was very close after two periods.

In fact, it was 3-2 for the 73Õ s after 40 minutes before the flood gates opened and they won their seventh in a row.

TANNING SALON

The biggest goal of the night, and the most important for the hosts, came just 19 seconds into the final frame when McIntyre jumped on a loose puck and gave Essex a two-goal cushion. Ò We think Danny is our most valuable forward. He is working so hard and

grabbing the fact itÕ s his last year. We are happy with what he is doing. He is a leader in the room,Ó said Essex coach Gil Langlois.

McIntyre had a goal and an assist in the big win while Ryan scored twice in the first period and helped set up McIntyreÕ s tally. Ò He is my favourite player I have ever played with since I was fouryears-old,Ó said Ryan. Ò I played against him growing up.Ó With a dozen newcomers to this yearÕ s club, Ryan and McIntyre are expected to set the tempo offensively but Ryan admits it is not just up to the two of them to get it done. Ò ItÕ s not just the two of us. ItÕ s a team effort and everyone did their job today especially in the third period,Ó said Ryan.

Essex changed things up between the second and the third big time, and outscored the visiting Canadiens 4-1 in the final 20 minutes.

Langlois said he told his players to concentrate more on playing defensively, limit the Canadiens shots to the outside, and keep their shifts short.

Daniel Slipchuk also scored for the winners with former CanadiensÕ Tyler Turner along with rookies Michael Vieira and Anthony Cristofaro.

Earlier this season, in their season opener, the Canadiens handed the 73Õ s a 3-1 loss. Langlois

said he thought that would bring a little motivation to his charges but admitted that few have faced off against the Canadiens. Ò We thought it would be and we chirped to the guys that itÕ s a natural rivalry but you have to remember 11 of these players have never played against Belle River (Lakeshore).Ó Sunday night in Amherstubrg, the visiting 73Õ s won their eighth in a row, and remained in first place with a 7-3 win over the host Admirals.

Rookie defenceman Nick Mainella, who leads all Essex blueliners in scoring, notched his fourth and fifth of the season.

Cristofaro scored again with singles to William Sladder, Matthew Hebert, McIntyre and a shorthanded effort by Tyler Scott.

Ryan and Phil Janikowski each had a pair of assists.

It’s show time with a Brand New Day submitted to EFP On Saturday, October 25 the Sun Parlour Chorus hosts its 70th annual show, Brand New Day. The chorus has reached an unparalleled milestone in this community, hosting an annual show every year since 1944, the year they joined the Barbershop Harmony Society.

Everyone knows barbershoppers love to sing any chance they get, and the Sun Parlour Chorus will be lighting up the stage this year at the Heritage Park Alliance Church, with a 2:00 p.m. show time.

Acappella 4-part harmony sung in the barbershop style is one of the most exhilarating forms of vocal expression, attested to by about 25,000 voices across North America.

Whether itÕ s the chorus or one of the barbershop quartets singing, the exciting sounds of harmony have been culturally instilled in this area for the past 70 years. Whether they are entertaining audiences both young and young at heart, igniting the

memories of yesteryear, or making exciting new impressions on young vocal enthusiasts, one thing is for sure: barbershop singing is here to stay. Whether a seasoned audience member or experiencing barbershop-style harmony for the first time, you will be thrilled, as tunes both new and old set off an inferno of new appreciation for this nostalgic culture called barbershop. The thrill of hearing amazing chords lock and ring, combined with the heartfelt expression of barbershop arrangements, is just too moving to pass up.

Barbershop singing has come a long way since that historic day back in 1938, atop the Tulsa Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma or the straw boater hats and canes of Vaudeville.

Today people of all ages and backgrounds enjoy the art of singing barbershop, with new upbeat arrangements coming out every day, making a cappella harmony one of todayÕ s musical mainstays.

Putting the growth of

a cappella enthusiasm today into perspective, the Barbershop Harmony Society is now the largest all-male singing organization in the world, with over 25,000 singers spanning North America.

Throw in another 6,000 + barbershop singers from around the world, like England, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and New Zealand to name a few, and you have an unsurpassed enthusiasm that is growing globally.

For the Sun Parlour Chorus, Tom Grimes Chorus Manager, says it is that revered community support that drives the Windsor chapter to continue to encourage and build upward into future decades.

This yearÕ s show, a Ò Brand New Day,Ó brings some news of its own, as they move to a new upscale venue on the stage of the Heritage Park Alliance Church. There is a new time, with a 2:00 p.m. matinee performance, and the injection of a few new twists to show style that will surely grab the audienceÕ s appreciation.

The Sun Parlour Chorus is hosting the show, but it will include the exciting sounds of some talented barbershop quartets, like Intrigue, Just-4-Kixx, Merri Madics, and County Connection. The headliner this year is the very funny Sweet Adeline quartet Ò In A Heartbeat,Ó from London. These ladies will have you laughing the moment they hit the stage. In keeping with the chorus tradition of bringing a youthful touch of class to the lineup, they will also feature the vocal talents of the Holy Names Festival Choir.

One of the best parts is tickets are only $15.

So if you are looking for

that spot on, affordable, and unique way to fill your show card this October 25, donÕ t pass up this inviting opportunity to spend some quality time being entertained with family and friends.

For tickets and more information on the show, call 519-948-0637 or 519969-1663, or visit www. sunparlourchorus.com for more information.

Gentlemen, where do you do your singing? The

chorus gets together every Monday evening, 7:30 p.m., at the South Windsor Knights of Columbus Hall, and Ron Gibb, Chorus Membership VP, extends a standing invitation to any men in the area that love to sing and wish to pursue one of the most rewarding vocal experiences of a lifetime.

Golden Years Mini Golf – October 9, 2014

1970 Chevy Nova SS: Bought it twice and sold it once!

John Schwartzenburg’s 1970 Chevy Nova SS. It’s not for sale!

A letter arrived recently from John Schwartzenburg of Guelph, Ontario: Ò Hi Bill.

This is the story of my 1970 Chevy Nova SS. This car is powered by its original L78 396/375 hp engine and Turbo 400 transmission on the column, along with 12-bolt 4:10 Posi rear end. This engine is factory-equipped with a steel crank, 11:1 domed pistons, solid lifter camshaft, and 780 Holley carb. It will run very consistently in the low 13 seconds quarter mile times. Ò I bought this car in August 1973 from the second owner with 5000 miles on it for $3300.00. The original owner was Dave Kurtz. This car was sold new at J. Holland Chev-Olds in Burlington, Ontario, with a shipping date of December 1969. It is one of 3025 shipped to Canada with this engine.

“This car is a very basic Nova SS 396/375 with bench seat, rubber floor mats, automatic on column, radio delete and tinted windows. The car is original except for a few performance bolt-ons. The engine or trans have never been apart. It now has 49,700 original miles and never winter driven. Ò I sold it to my brother in 1990 but he never drove it or changed the ownership over. I bought it back in 2001, then had it repainted in its original Green Mist. It still has its original black interior, brake lines, and even the original T-3 sealed beam headlights it has had since leaving the factory at Willow Run. Ò The car is a pleasure to drive even if it does only get eight miles to the gallon. It is a serious classic muscle car I never intend to part with again.Ó The Chevy Nova nameplate first appeared as the top-of-the-line version of the 1962 Chevy II, introduced that year to help fill the gap between the compact rearengine Corvair and the full-size Chevrolets. The new Chevy II came with a four or six cylinder engine, but the Nova 400 came with only a six with 194 cubic inches cranking out 120 horsepower.

By 1970, the Chevy Nova was available with a four, six, or V8 engine. Options included simulated bright vertical cowl side louvers, in-the-windshield radio antenna, and new variable-ratio power steering. The Nova SS package included a 350 or 396 V8 engine, dual exhausts, power front disc brakes, a simulated air intake on the hood, simulated front fender louvers, bright accents, hood insulation, and SS emblems.

The Nova nameplate lasted until 1979, after which other GM cars took its place.

IÕ 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: Ò OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.Ó

"Essex" EXPERIENCE COUNTS

• Essex’s Matt Puempel will start the hockey season with the Binghampton Senators of the American Hockey League. He was one of the final forwards sent down to the AHL following a great camp with the team that drafted him, the Ottawa Senators.

Last year Puempel had 30 goals and 48 points in his first year as a pro.

• Still with hockey, fifth-year forward Candace Chevalier had a huge goal as the University of Windsor Lancers edged Wilfrid Laurier 2-1 on the weekend.

• It was a tough return to their own football field for the EDHS Red Raiders senior team as they came up short in a defensive battle, 10-7 against Massey Friday night in the homecoming game. James Morgan had a rushing touchdown for Essex. Raider Field will be the site of this Friday nightÕ s game against Sandwich.

Junior football saw Aiden Whittle toss a touchdown pass and a two-point conversion to Ryan Holmes in a 22-8 loss to Brennan last week.

• From the volleyball court, the Red Raiders senior team beat Vista Academy 25-12, 25-18 and ran their WECSSAA Tier 1 record to 4-3 as they took three from Kingsville. The juniorsÕ spikers came up short in

their games.

• Essex’s Trevor Wheaton picked up his fourth win in net this season for the Junior ‘B’ Flyers on Thursday as he turned away 29 shots in a 6-3 win over visiting Strathroy. Alex Friesen had a goal in a wild one

on Sunday that saw the Flyers fall 8-7 to the Chatham Maroons.

Weekend at the Races

Distinctiv Sean leads the field as they head to the wire.

Trainer Vic McMurren and Distinctiv Sean in the winners’ circle.

by Fred Groves It is a winning combination for EssexÕ s Vic McMurren and Distinctiv Sean.

Sunday afternoon at the Leamington Raceway, the four-year-old horse - trained by McMurren, owned by LondonÕ s Ken Alward and with Alex Lilley in the bike - won its third race in as many starts.

With its best time ever,

2:00.1, Distinctiv Sean edged out Run Rolley Run owned by EssexÕ s Michael Hamlin and Light Shine In, owned

by MaidstoneÕ s William Leon.

There is a local atmosphere at the Essex County track that has two more race dates, Oct. 19 and Oct. 26. Ò It has been unbelievably successful.

The guys have really

been supporting it and the betting handle is going up each week,Ó said McMurren.

When the Windsor Raceway was shut down, horsemen in this area were worried that they would lose their livelihoods and a long time Essex County tradition. Traveling to Dresden, London, Sarnia or farther meant more expenses. Ò I like it because I just

go out the door and race.

There are no expenses going down the road,Ó said McMurren.

It took two full years for him to get Distinctiv Sean into shape and so far it looks like a bright future. McMurren says the plan is to finish out the season in Leamington and then test the speedster at other tracks. Ò IÕ ve made more money here in five weeks than I did all summer going to the other tracks.Ó Alward does not mind driving down from his home in London, especially for this horse that seems to be unstoppable. Ò Smaller tracks are the way to go if you are

teaching a horse. You have to go small before you go big,Ó said Alward.

Don McMurren, VicÕ s nephew, has been in the horse racing business since 1998. He owns Wallet Sniffer trained by Tom Bain. On Sunday, his horse picked up a third in the third race. Ò I have another one at home that I am hoping to race here if things hang on,Ó said Don McMurren.

So far the race dates at Leamington have been well attended and there is still hope of building a new track out in Lakeshore. Ò We have two more weeks after today and I think itÕ s going to be okay,Ó he said of how

successful racing will be in Leamington.

Vic McMurren noted that the local horsemen want to see even more dates next year and have racing that goes from May to September. He helped organize a trip for members of the local Legion on Saturday, which everyone enjoyed and learned a bit about horse racing.

Sunday at Leamington saw Texas Star, owned and trained by Gordon McDonnell, jump out in front early and never give up the lead. It helped that Alfie Carroll, the winningest driver at the local track this season, was in control.
