healthy relationships, bullying, internet safety, addictions, and drugs. She will also talk to the students about how the law applies to youth. She will also speak to senior groups about safety and fraud prevention. Since her recent appointment to the new role, Werstein has been busy introducing herself to the local grade six students that she will be visiting regularly this school year to teach the

VIP program components. Last Thursday, she visited the students at Essex Public School. The students listened intently as Werstein talked about her experience as an OPP officer and about what the students should expect to learn over the course of the VIP program. “It is important to educate kids before they have to make some pretty important decisions,” Werstein said of the VIP program. In grade six, “they are at an age where peer pressure will play a role in their decision making.” Though Werstein is new to the position, so far, she has found her role as Essex’s Community Policing Officer to be a great experience. “It has been pretty rewarding to talk to the students. A lot of the classes are pretty engaged. It is an opportunity for them to find out more about policing and what we do. It puts a friendly face to policing.” Weinstein took over the Community Policing position from Constable Sean MacKinnon. The position-holders are rotated every four years.

local municipal decision-making table. The results were announced later that evening, with many of the candidates opting to receive the results in person at the Essex Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 201). Larry Snively, a current

Councillor, was elected as the new mayor. The unofficial result notes Snively earned 2,261 votes. Candidate Ron Rogers, also a current Ward 3 Councillor, followed closely behind with 2,144 votes. Rob Shepley earned support from 1,122, and Katie McGuire-

Blais earned 1,358 votes. Though Snively won the seat, and with a total of 6885 ballots casted in the mayoral bid, he earned less than 33 percent of voter support.

Essex opted for come change... Continued from Front Page

“I will move this municipality forward in a positive way,” Snively said, adding his platform included wanting to build a solid industrial tax base, which could contribute to implementing infrastructure. “We have a very good elected Council that I see here, and working together and making positive moves for this municipality.” Snively said having the new faces on Council is great. “The people spoke. They wanted change and they have change.” Moving forward, Snively wants to meet with the members of the new Term of Council to get everyone’s ideas on the table before the first public meeting. The 2018 unofficial election results accounts for around 1000 voters less than what was casted in

2014 mayoral race. Incumbent Richard Meloche was elected as Deputy Mayor. He earned 4,012 votes, defeating challenger Phil Pocock, who earned 2,737 votes. “I’m feeling excited,” Meloche said, adding the major difference between this election and ones of the past was the number of houses he had to visit. This was the first time the Deputy Mayor position was elected at large as the current Term of Council opted to add an additional seat at the table. Meloche said he and Snively share a lot of the same ideas for the Town. He also wants to get some industrial development going. “I think we are going to have a good Council, Meloche said. “Based on who is sitting there right now, it is going to gel.”

Ward 1 (Essex Centre) will have two new Councillors in the next term of Council. Joe Garon and Morley Bowman (a former Essex Councillor), were elected with 1,570 and 1,062 votes respectively. “It feels great to get back, really,” Bowman said. “I couldn’t be more happy with the results. I think we have a Council that will work well together,” he said. Bowman said he worked really hard on his campaign, and was happy to see Garon get elected as well as he sees him as a “younger face with new ideas.” Garon said he is excited to move forward. “I’m pleased. I had a lot of people pushing me to run in the first place and I’m happy that I came through

for them.” Part of Garon’s platformed focused on wanting to attract new industry and business. He also wants to see completion of the sports grounds, to be located across Highway # 3. The Ward 1 results ousted current Councillor Randy Voakes, who earned 741 votes. Challengers Fred Groves and Tom Holland received support from 478 and 277 voters, respectively. “Randy Voakes worked hard,” Snively said. “Yes, everybody had their differences, but he did work hard.”

Pictured above Retired Essex Mayor, Ron McDermott, congratulates Essex Mayorial candidate, Larry Snively on his election win. Pictured left - Ward 1 councillor, Morley Bowman celebrates his election win with hugs from supporters.

When the news of the Ward 1 results were announced, current Mayor Ron McDermott loudly provided three cheers of “Hip-Hip Hooray.” “How am I feeling now? You know the big change everyone was looking for,” he claimed. The outgoing Mayor, who decided to retire, said he will miss dealing with the public the most. He will still be around to do some committee work. In 2014, 5,098 voteswere casted in the Ward One race, which is around 970 more votes casted than this year.

Kim Verbeek was successful in earning the position of Ward 2 (McGregor) Councillor with 803 votes. This was her second consecutive attempt at running for the position. Challengers Terry Brockman received support from 499 and Mark Williams received support

Verbeek said she worked really hard on her campaign. “What I am feeling right now is incredible gratitude,” she commented. “The first [election in which I ran for Council] was certainly a building block.” She is looking forward to forming solid relationships with the rest of the incoming Term of Council. Chris Vander Doelen earned the most votes in Ward 3 with 1,032. Steve Bjorkman, a current Councillor for Ward 1, earned the second position with 898 votes. Challenger Rodney Hammond was close behind with 843. Incumbent Sherry Bondy was re-elected to Ward 4 for a third term. She earned 843 votes, defeating challenger Paul Innes, who earned 238. Of the eight seats on Essex Council, five of those elected have sat at the local municipal decision-making table previously.

OPINION & COMMENT The opinions expressed on these pages are those of their original authors and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Essex Free Press, its Editor or Publisher.

Recently, a friend dragged me to a conference I really had no initial interest on attending. I had nothing against the subject matter, I just don’t care to be around people, especially in that type of setting. It just simply is not my thing. And, I am sure my lack of interest showed. I have always considered myself to be an observer, not a participant, which has suited me well in my work here at the paper. It’s not that participating makes me uncomfortable, it’s just that I find I get excited to learn from watching how others conduct themselves. What can I say? I love to analyze. A women I was seated near, towards the end of the seminar, commented she was happy to see me come out of my comfort zone nearing the end of the event. I wasn’t really sure what she meant, but I also kind of did. Just because it wasn’t my cup of tea, does not mean I was going to sit in the corner the whole day with my arms crossed, or make negative remarks under my breath. I still chatted and joked with others (yes, I made a few eye rolls, too, when no one was

looking). I wouldn’t say that I came out of my comfort zone so much as I just simply was not rude. But, the remark meant she thought I was uncomfortable to be there. And, that was not the case, I didn’t want to be there because it wasn’t something I wanted to do, not because I was shy. We all have to test our boundaries, step outside of our comfort zone from time-to-time. And, let’s be real, life tends to challenge us at every twist and turn, and a lot of those challenges help define our character, for the better or worse. What is impressive, is when some of us actually go out to look for a challenge. That’s why I applaud every single candidate who ran in the 2018 Essex Municipal Election and what they were all able to accomplish. It is not easy to share your opinions. It is not easy to stand in front of others, who will tear apart the platform one so carefully constructed or the opinions one so thoughtfully crafted after much contemplation. But, there they were, the brave 19 in Essex who all thought they could help guide the town into its next phase. That is

a prime example of getting out of one’s comfort zone. I was disappointed to see the low voter turn out, however. All I read online was how everyone wanted to vote for change, but five of the eight members to be in the 20182022 Term of Council are returning. That’s not a big change in my book. Do I think this next Term of Council will gel better than the past Term of Council as some believe? No. I am not convinced. A Council should never be comprised of yes men/women. If someone is against something, they should get passionate about their stance. That doesn’t mean they need to go over the top, it just means one should stick to what one believes is right. Is having an unpopular opinion uncomfortable? I’m sure it can be. But going with the flow is easy. Things that are worthwhile are worth the fight.

Commentary - OFA

Road safety is a shared responsibility

by Debra Pretty-Straathof, Director, Ontario Federation of Agriculture

Safety must be a top priority on and off the farm – especially now as farmers head out on the roads with equipment during harvest. It’s getting tougher to travel on roadways. Roads, bridges, and traffic circles aren’t built to accommodate machinery and a lot more motorists are increasingly impatient around slow moving vehicles. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) recently sent a letter to the Minister of Transportation, John Yakabuski, outlining the key issues and concerns farmers face when travelling Ontario’s roadways with farm equipment. The letter was part of OFA’s series of priority letters sent to various ministries that focus on short-term issues we are asking the provincial government to address. Road safety cannot be compromised. OFA believes a number of ongoing issues can and must be addressed. The first is the planning and construction of roadways, bridges and traffic circles. Farmers share the road with motorists, but many bridges aren’t being built wide enough to accommodate farm equipment. Roadway shoulders are being reduced or rebuilt with a slope that reduces the area for farm equipment to use. The design of traffic circles, more commonly known as roundabouts, don’t consider the width of farm equipment, and in some cases, travelling on these roads is not an option. OFA is addressing these infrastructure concerns with the government and will continue to consult on road construction and rebuild projects. Every farm tractor or self-propelled implement travelling a roadway must display a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign. But most motorists don’t know what the sign means, or that the SMV sign identifies farm equipment that has an equal

right to travel the roadway, at a maximum speed of 40 km/hr. OFA is asking the government to improve the awareness and understanding of SMV signs through driver education courses or general awareness campaigns. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is currently revising and updating the Farm Guide, a valuable resource for farmers and enforcement personnel, including OPP officers and MTO staff. The guide includes information on the rules and regulations that govern farm equipment and farm trucks. OFA is asking the government to collaborate with farm organizations on the next update of the guide to ensure new types of machinery like bale stackers and telehandlers are included. There’s a lot of farm equipment travelling the roadways this time of year. Safe roads and safe driving practices are important for everyone. OFA will continue to push for safer, more accessible roadways for farmers in Ontario.

Holy Name students hold mock municipal election

The grade seven students at Holy Name Catholic Elementary School held a mock municipal election last Thursday afternoon, after learning about the mayor and deputy mayor candidates and about local issues, leading up to the 2018 Essex Municipal Election.

by Sylene Argent The best way to learn is by doing. So, in recognition of the 2018 Essex Municipal Election, the grade seven students at Holy Name Catholic Elementary School were tasked to research the local candidates running for Mayor and Deputy Mayor, and present a speech outlining their platforms to the rest of the school. They also made signs and put them up around the school. Three students

represented each mayoral and deputy mayoral candidate running in the 2018 Essex Municipal Election. Those three students were tasked to each prepare a speech, based on their candidate’s platform, for either the primary, junior, or senior grades. On Thursday, the representing students presented their speeches, and their fellow schoolmates took to the poles to voice whom they thought would be the best representative. In addition, the grade seven students learned about the roles and responsibilities of the Returning Officer and Scrutineers. Grade seven teacher, Mrs. Barb Gaspard, said her grade seven class typically tackles elections as part of its studies of learning about being global citizens. Last schoolyear, her former students did a mock election for the Provincial Election. “We want them to be critical thinkers,” she said of her students. “We want them to be future leaders of the town and country; to take responsibility of leadership.” As part of the municipal election studies, the students watched debates and researched each candidate. The grade seven students said they learned what municipal governments handle. Students Max D’Alfonso and Caleb Young, who presented speeches on behalf of two of the mayor/deputy mayor candidates for the senior classes, said they learned most candidates running for mayor wanted to fix roads. They both thought being an elected representative would be a great role to take on.

WETRA’s annual Halloween Spooktacular was a hit - new sensory tent was well received -

by Kyle Reid Thousands of families made their way out to the Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Riding

Association’s (WETRA) facility on North Malden Road on Friday and Saturday evening to enjoy the organization’s

COTTAM RADIATOR

14th annual Halloween Spooktacular. The family-friendly event has become a huge attraction for parents and children around Halloween, and this year was no different. There were plenty of smiling faces and colourful costumes taking part in the Halloween farm-themed fun, including horse rides, magic shows, games, and tasty snacks. And, while the horseback rides were undoubtedly the main attraction of the event, with long line-ups of eager children waiting for a turn, this year’s event featured a new, more inclusive attraction, which was well received. “We have a sensory tent this year,” WETRA Executive Director Becky Mills noted. “We found that what we were lacking over the years was something that was really interactive for people with special needs…It’s pretty good, it’s been lined up quite a way out the door.” Mills explained said

the tent was a welcomed addition to this year’s festival, and aligns well with WETRA’s programs, which offer horseback riding therapies for children with special needs and disabilities. The inclusive sensory tent provided children an opportunity to make their way through the small structure and interact with different Halloweenthemed sounds, touches, and colourful lights. The tent offered an inclusive supplement to the event’s already family-friendly Halloween fun.

The event also featured a costume contest as well as an appearance from the farm’s “Headless Horseman.” All funds raised went to support WETRA programing as well as care for the horses and the facility. Since the Spooktacular’s inception, Mills said she has seen the event grow tremendously to feature new games and attractions every year. Over 70 volunteers are needed each evening of the two-night event to make the Spooktacular successful.

In doing so, the Spooktacular has become one of WETRA’s most successful fundraisers. However, the organization is always looking for new and creative ways to raise funds and entertain families throughout the year, Mills said. “A lot of people are doing Halloween now. So, we’re not sure how long we’ll keep doing it,” Mills said. “We will come up with something else innovative so that everyone has something fun and unique to do.”

Protecting Ontarians with revitalized Smoke-free Ontario Act 2017 submitted by WECHU Aligning with the legalization of Cannabis, the Province of Ontario has passed the new Smoke-free Ontario Act 2017 (SFOA 2017) which will replace the previous Smoke-Free Ontario Act and Electronic Cigarettes Act with one single legislative framework. The new Act will regulate the sale, supply, use, display, and promotion of tobacco and vapour products (e.g., e-cigarettes), and the smoking and vaping of cannabis in public places. In particular, these enhancements will expand those measures currently in place for tobacco, to vapour products and cannabis (both medical and nonmedical) by prohibiting their use in certain public spaces. Since 2005, regulations in Ontario expanded from smoking prohibitions in enclosed workplaces and public spaces, to also include bar and restaurant patios, hospital grounds, and within 20 metres of playgrounds and sport fields. In addition to these prohibited spaces, the new SFOA 2017 prohibits smoking of tobacco or cannabis and the vaping of any substance in the following areas: • Within 9 metres of the perimeter of bar and restaurant patios. • On recreation facility property and within a 20 metre perimeter of their grounds. • On school property and within a 20 metre perimeter of school grounds. Implementation of this Act, previously intended

for July 1, 2018, was paused in order to align these regulations with the legalization of cannabis. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit’s (WECHU) Tobacco Enforcement Officers are designated to enforce these regulations. Theresa Marentette, Chief Executive Officer,

supports a collaborative approach towards implementation. “We have been preparing for the implementation of these changes since they were originally set to come into force in July. By working collaboratively with our municipalities and business owners we are confident we can

achieve compliance,” Marentette says. “The addition of new product and space prohibitions will contribute toward reducing secondhand smoke exposure, denormalizing smoking behaviours, and reducing social exposure to tobacco, cannabis and related products.”

Individuals with questions related to the Smoke-Free Ontario Act 2017 can contact the Windsor-Essex County

Health Unit at 519-2582146 ext. 3100 or visit the website at www. wechu.org.

by Sylene Argent Last weekend, Jeff’s No Frills offered coffee and treats to customers in celebration of the business’s tenth anniversary in Essex Centre. “It doesn’t seem like ten years has gone by,” Jeff

MacPhee said, who owns the grocery store with his wife, Donna. A decade ago, the couple were in a program through the grocery chain that prepares those with experience to one day own their own store when an opportunity becomes available. When Jeff and Donna learned a store was going to open in Essex, they jumped at the opportunity for ownership. At that time, they were living in Sarnia. Jeff recalls when No Frills came to town, residents were a bit hesitant as they didn’t know what the chain was all about. “It has been a good ten-year run,” Jeff said. “The growth has been good.” Through the last decade, No Frills has employed hundreds of employees, and Donna noted a few key workers have been with them from the start. With it being a small town, Donna said she had enjoyed getting to know the customers who shop there regularly. Jeff added No Frills has many great customers, many of whom are generous. That generosity is noticeable when they host icon events periodically that raise funds to support special causes. “It is nice being a part of the community,” he said.

Notice of Public Meeting to Consider an Amendment to Zoning By-Law 1037 Take notice that the Council for the Town of Essex will hold a Statutory Public Meeting on Monday, November 19, 2018 commencing at 5pm in the Large Meeting Room located at 33 Talbot Street South, Essex Centre to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990.

This matter is also scheduled for formal decision by Council at its Regular Meeting on Monday, December 3, 2018 starting at 6pm.

The existing dwelling would be retained for the same purpose. Special zoning regulations would be developed to accommodate the 6 dwelling units on site. Nine on-site parking spaces are proposed to be provided in the front yard and the new dwellings are proposed to be located near and parallel to the north lot line to the rear of the existing dwelling. Any person may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendment.

How to talk to kids about Halloween safety Carry a white bag or pi llowcase for your candy, and add some re flective tape.

Children should always trick-or-treat accompanied by a responsible adult.

Do not eat any treats they are brought homeuntil and examined by an adult.

Come Halloween, youngsters’ attentions are understandably focused on costumes and candy. Their parents, however, are likely more concerned with their kids’ safety. Trick-or-treating kids might not pay much mind to safety. As a result, it can be hard for parents to get kids to grasp the importance of being safe on Halloween. The following strategies might make that task easier. · Discuss costumes well in advance of Halloween. Many kids are so enthusiastic about Halloween that they know which costumes they hope to wear long before October 31. Parents can discuss potential costumes well in advance of Halloween before kids even know what they want to wear. Doing so gives parents a chance to encourage kids to choose bright costumes that will make them more visible to drivers on Halloween night. Waiting to discuss costumes increases the likelihood that kids will already have an outfit in mind, making it harder for parents to convince them to choose something safe. · Explain that some tailoring might be necessary to make gathering all that candy a lot easier. Superman doesn’t trip on his cape in the movies, and youngsters dressed up as the Man of Steel shouldn’t trip on their capes, either. When kids pick costumes, explain to them that you might need to do some tailoring before they go trick-or-treating. Explain to kids that costumes should be trip-proof so they can seamlessly go from house to house in search of their favourite goodies. · Create a bag or bucket design day. Depending on what kids will use to carry the candy they accumulate this Halloween, parents can plan a bag or bucket design day a few days in advance. Kids will enjoy this chance to get in the Halloween spirit, and parents can encourage youngsters to decorate their bags and buckets with reflective tape that will make them more visible to drivers. · Talk up trick-or-treating with friends. As Halloween approaches, parents can discuss how much fun kids will have going door-to-door with many of their friends. This is a good way to ensure kids trick-or-treat in large groups, making them more visible to drivers. In addition, kids trickor-treating in large groups might be too busy joking with their friends to notice when one or two parents tag along as chaperones. Parents can discuss Halloween safety with their children in ways that make it fun to be safe while trickor-treating.

Don’t criss-cross back an d forth across the street. Work your way up one side of the street, and then start on the other.

Never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car.

h ow not to cut throug Let your children kn e. if they are out alon ds el fi d an ys le al back s. pulated, well lit area They should stay po

Source: Metro Creative

Use the sidewalk whenever possible. If there’s no sidewalk, walk on the side of the road facing traffic. Carry a flashlight, glow stick or use reflective tape on costumes to make them more visible to cars.

Plan a safe route so parents will know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a firm time for their return home.

continued spirit of tradition, migration, and conservation with the festival’s myriad of activities aimed to be family-friendly and enthrall bird enthusiast. Celebrating its 49th year, the festival brought visitors from across the region, Canada, and the world, to experience the one-of-a-kind event this past weekend, which kicked off with an opening ceremony at the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary on Thursday night. “We’re prospering because of the history and story [of Jack Miner],” Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos, said as the opening ceremony got underway. “Recognizing our heritage, our story, it does revolve around the people that have built this community and Jack Miner is one of those. On behalf of the Town

of Kingsville, thank you, and enjoy your weekend with the festival.” Those who braved the unseasonable cool weekend weather did find much to enjoy at the continually growing festival, including Saturday morning’s Migration Festival Parade. Making its way down Main Street, the parade showcased floats, horseback riders, and local marching bands, which has become as

Thirty-four decoys were entered into this year’s contest, which had entrants going head-to-head for a $500 cash prize for Best in Show. As well, several $200

prizes were given out for winners of fun contest categories, which included Wackiest Duck, Best Canuck Duck, Best Represents Migration Festival, Best Duck Impersonator, and People’s Choice. “The Lions have been hosting this event for the last three years, but this is the first time we have held it at the Carnegie Arts and Visitor Centre,” Kingsville Lions member, Gayle Palmer, Continued on Page 14

by Sylene Argent Every aspiring athlete has an idol. For local elementary school students, sometimes those mentors are older students at the high school, who may not have realized just how much they have improved their oncourt roles and just how

professional they appear to young eyes. Local elementary school students were invited to participate in a volleyball workshop hosted at Essex District High School last Friday evening, where the young, aspiring athletes learned tricks-of-the-trade from

members of the high school’s Senior Boys’ Volleyball Team. With participation from students, in grade five through eight, at Gosfield North Public School and Colchester North Public School, event coordinators, Izzy and Deen Oozeer, were pleased to have over 50 students take advantage of the unique learning opportunity. The father/ son duo are helping coach the EDHS Senior Boys’

Volleyball team this season. Izzy, who was a popular coach at Colchester North Public School until his retirement in 2017, and Deen, who recently played on the St. Clair College volleyball team, were happy to coordinate the event, but to also allow the members

all week.” Another great benefit of they volleyball workshop was that it introduced many grade school and high school students, which will make transitioning into secondary school much easier in the future for the younger students. It is hoped the volleyball workshop will be hosted again next year and that it will have an even better turnout than the inaugural event. Izzy said coaching the EDHS Senior Boys’ Volleyball Team with his son has been a great experience.

submitted to EFP The Essex Ravens Atom AE, played one single game last weekend. The first place, and powerhouse, Belle River Jr. Canadiens invaded the Highbury Rink in Leamington and cruised to an impressive 8-2 victory over Essex. Caiden St. John scored both tallies for the Ravens. However, the silver lining of the loss suffered by Essex was that there was a marked improvement in performance by the Ravens, from the first time these teams met in Belle River. In that contest, the team from Belle River was victorious in a 13-1 romp. The Ravens players are improving every game played . The players should be pleased with their improvements and should forge forward, gaining speed and confidence with each game.

Atom Majors compete in Oktoberfest Tournament

1969 Mustang one owner 40 years!

Bob Fetter with his awesome 1969 Mustang Mach 1.

Bob Fetter of Leamington, Ontario, has good reason to celebrate. He is the proud owner of a Silver Jade 1969 Mustang Mach 1 purchased exactly 40 years ago. He saw an ad in the Windsor Star in the fall of 1978. The Dingwall Ford dealership had taken the car in from the original owner, Allen Cornwall. It had about 75,000 miles on it and still looked good. Bob bought it and began driving it. Before he bought it, the right rear quarter panel had suffered minor damage and had been repaired with bondo. And as the years rolled by with Bob behind the wheel, rust began taking its toll. Finally it was time for a total body-off restoration. The frame was rebuilt like new by Eric Zimmer of E-Z Auto Body near Ruthven. The body and interior were completely restored by Dennis Pilon in his shop on the First Concession. The engine bay and paint was performed by Bob’s brother-in-law, Ray Ford, who now works for RM Restorations in Chatham. Gary Chalmers rebuilt the 351 cubic inch Windsor V8. The stock horsepower was 290 and with upgrades is now about 350 – all the get-up-and-go that Bob will ever need. The transmission is FMX automatic and the rear end has 4:11 gears. Since completion of the work in 2005, Bob has driven his Mustang several times to the Old Autos Car Show in Bothwell and has also driven several times in the Woodward Dream Cruise. He bought his first car at age16 in 1964, a ’55 Meteor Rideau from his Uncle John at the Lange and Fetter Ford dealership in Trenton, Ontario. That Meteor had the new 272 overhead-valve V8 under the hood and Bob drove it until he traded it at that same dealership for a new 1965 Ford Galaxie convertible with a 352 V8. Later on, a pair of 1970 Mustangs came and went, with one having a tire-squealing 428 Cobra Jet engine. But Bob’s favourite is the ’69 Mach 1 he has now owned for four decades. Here’s to many more years of happy Mustang motoring! I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca.

submitted to EFP The Ravens travelled to Kitchener this past weekend to participate in the annual Oktoberfest Tournament fielding the strongest “A” division Atom Major teams from across Ontario. The Ravens opened round-robin play against North Durham. Essex started off quick, with a goal by Sean Wilson, 30 seconds in. In the first period, Essex played strong, with a penalty killing by Gavin Hebert and Cole Grant, to maintain the lead. Caleb Cavanagh scored two goals, in a row, for Essex and Jesse Chadwick made the final score 4-0 for Essex, with a blast from the point that found the twine. Trevor Paquette earned the shutout for the Ravens. Following the first game, the Ravens were treated to a special tour of the Kitchener Rangers dressing room and training facilities at the Memorial Auditorium. The kids listened intently to the Rangers’ head trainer and equipment manager discussing Junior hockey and the importance of school, as it relates to playing hockey, at any level. Special thanks to legendary Essex referee Ryan Hutchison for arranging the tour for the kids. Game two, later on Friday, had Essex face a familiar foe, in Woolwich. Once again, Essex scored early on with a goal by Caleb Cavanagh off a great feed by Denver Boismier. Solid defensive blue line play by Mason Ginter and Cade Smith and strong penalty killing by Jaclyn Weston kept the score 1-0 after the first period. Early in the second period, Essex scored again. However, the Ravens players quickly went off their game of skating and positional play, and that resulted in Woolwich coming back

to ultimately tying the game at 2-2. In the first game, on Saturday, the Ravens travelled to a rink inside a mall, to battle a strong team from Milton. Once again, the Ravens scored early in the period, with Owen Sadler going top cheese, four minutes in. Less than two minutes later, Braeden Cavanagh scored on a perfect screen shot, to put Essex up 2-0. Much like the game against Woolwich, the Ravens players found themselves getting away from their game plan in the second period. With penalty problems, individual play, and lack of skating, Milton scored two in the second period and two more early in the third, before Ethan O’Neil scored late in the third for Essex. However, it wasn’t enough as Essex suffered a 4-3 loss. The final round robin game on Saturday afternoon, against Brampton, was a onesided affair with Essex dominating play from the start. Ben Fuerth set the tone for the game on the first shift with a strong endto-end rush that resulted in a solid scoring chance. The Ravens did not let up from there, ultimately winning this one, 5-0. Caleb Gailitis scored two goals in this game, coming up just sort of the hat trick. Reed VanderVecht earned the shutout. With 14 teams in its division and only four advancing, the Ravens record of 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie wasn’t good enough to advance to the semi-finals on Sunday. However, the team learned lessons of what it will take to battle the top teams in Ontario in the future. Special thanks to injured teammate Noah Martin for making the trip up to the tournament and cheering the team on!

Essexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerplay. As a result, Essex would add four more goals in the final two periods, including three with the manadvantage to power Essex over the Sharks, 8-1. Close to 24 hours later, the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were back in action as they traveled to Wallaceburg to face the Lakers. Despite the Lakers being winless on the season, they gave Essex a fight in the first period. The teams exchanged chances and skated into the intermission with a 1-1 tie. For period two, however, Essex turned up the physicality and got the Lakers to take frequent trips to the penalty box. As a result, Essex made them pay with a pair of goals with the man-advantage, including Bryce Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal as a 73 and Michael Ruttingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first of the year. The Lakers would add a short-handed tally and Jeremy Oriet would score at even strength in the period for Essex, to cushion

He beat goalie, Connor Meyerink, with a bullet below the bar. He would net his second of the game 11 minutes later. But, to close out the frame, Essex drew within one, thanks to William Stadder capping off a feed from PopeFerguson. After a scoreless second period, Mooretown snuck a shot through Meyerinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-hole one minute into

period three to restore the two-goal lead. Essex was unable to claw back within reach as it fell at home for the first time this season, 3-1. Leading the way offensively this week was William Stadder, who had three goals and six assists and defenseman Adam Gaiarin, who had two goals and four assists.

by Garrett Fodor This past week, the Essex 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued its busy October with another three games, two of which were hosted back-to-back. The local team closed out the week getting its first look at the Mooretown Flags. The 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week began last Tuesday, against a somewhat familiar foe, the Wheatley Omstead Sharks. The two teams faced off on October 10, and the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won, 5-2. Unlike their previous meeting, goals were not scarce and came quickly. Opening the game, Essex welcomed the visitors with four goals in a six-minute span. Essexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first line of Michael Vieira, William Stadder, and Josh Pope-Ferguson continued their momentum as the trio connected for three goals, including two from Vieira. Period two and three were no better for the Sharks or their goalie, Catalin Morin, as that line continued to roll as did

the score of 4-2 going into the final intermission. Essex would put the game out-of-reach in the third period with two goals on a five-minute powerplay, a short-handed tally from Stadder, and rookie Bryce Ryan would net the 8th and final goal of the evening. Essex swamped the Lakers 8-2, outshooting them, 40-26. Closing out the week on Sunday, the 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosted the Mooretown Flags. Essex debuted its new orange home jerseys. But for the home-side, they would have to play from behind as former OHL and QMJHL forward, Brock Perry, scored three minutes in on the man-advantage.
