by Sylene Argent It has been said that it takes a community to raise a child. But itÕ s sometimes youth that set the example of how to pay it forward. On Saturday, just outside the JeffÕ s no Frills entranceway, 11-year old Caleb Brockman of
Cottam set up a station with his mom, Julie, and little brother, Gavin, to host the annual Food Bank Frenzy. Brockman flagged down patrons before they headed inside the grocery store to explain he was collecting food items for the Essex Area Food Bank and
asked that patrons who were in a position to give, buy a few extra nonperishable food items for those in need. After the shoppers finished gathering their groceries, they then dropped off any donations they were able to give to Brockman. He then
loaded an Essex Area Food Bank van with the donations. He was thrilled with the amount of donations he collected from generous no FrillÕ s patrons. He thanked all who gave for their contributions, and to no Frills for allowing the event to take place.
Ò It makes me feel good to help others,� Brockman commented, adding he doesn’t need to get credit for the work he does. He does, however, like to explain his volunteer work to his friends as it makes them more aware of the cause. Brockman has been supporting the Food Bank, and the individuals and families it aids, for many years. Ò Since I was a kid I wanted to volunteer and help out at the Food Bank,� he said. From the time he was six, after reading an article about the Food BankÕ s need for donations, Brockman has volunteered at the Food Bank during the summer months and has hosted his annual Food Bank Frenzy. Ò I wanted to help stock their shelves.� He credits his mom for his sense of community service. Ò My mom always made me aware of whatÕ s going on in the world and to appreciate what I have.� Looking many years into the future, Brockman said he plans to volunteer fulltime at the Food Bank once he retires.

Town wants to know if you experienced flooding by Jennifer Cranston Streets were closed, basements were wet and sump pumps were backing up last Wednesday when five inches of rain fell in about an hour to an hour and a half. Ò That is an immense amount of rain,” said Chris Nepszy, Director of Infrastructure and Development for Essex. Ò Pipes can only handle so much.” The last time Essex experienced flooding like we saw last Wednesday was 1989, according to town officials. Nepszy explained that the municipality saw a lot of flooded streets that day. Bigger problems occurred
in some areas where sump pumps backed up as well as storm water and sanitary systems. The hardest hit areas in Essex were McGregor and Essex Centre. Several residents are dealing with property damage, especially in their basements. “I’ve already called back about 130 residents and the list is growing,” he said. Anyone who experienced flooding is encouraged to call the town and let them know. “The more information I have, the better picture I get,” he explained. Nepszy said there might be areas where
further, more specific investigations are required. “We’re looking for any contributing factors that are within our control,” he said. “There may be things the Town or home owners can do to improve the situation.” He explained that flooding is a regional issue, and in many cases there is little a municipality can do. Flash flooding like we saw last week is a relatively rare occurrence but Nepszy said the incidents are becoming more frequent. The infrastructure of this region was not designed to handle the amount of rain that came down Wednesday. Ò All three pumps at pollution control facilities were running at 100 percent. On an average day those pumps process about 2,000 cubic metres of water. On Wednesday they moved about 12,000. “That’s five to six times the average flow,”
Drivers brave floodwaters on Victoria Ave. on Wednesday evening before Essex Fire and Rescue was forced to close the road to traffic.
he said. Nepszy says he really sympathizes with those affected.
“It is hard,” he said. “And the process of clean-up and dealing with insurance is difficult.
There are already several areas in the municipality and the region who can’t get insured for flooding.”

Essex Council Notes for Monday, September 15 by Sylene Argent Expressing interest for Silo District funding Essex Council voted in favour of submitting an Expression of Interest for the redevelopment of the Essex Silo District in Essex Centre for the Small Communities Fund during a special Council meeting on Monday. Essex Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter explained that this is the first step in letting the Small Communities Fund program know Essex is interested in receiving funding for this project. Continued forward, if the project is approved to do so, Essex could submit an application for funding. If approved the project funding would be split three ways between the municipality, the province, and the federal government (around $670,000 each) to total around $2 million. Administration had agreed that this project would be the best to put forward for this funding request. There are no roads within the municipality that would fit the criteria to apply. Hunter explained that municipalities could only submit one project
for funding and, if approved, have until 2020 to finish construction. The project can be completed in phases. With recent flooding issued, Councillor Bill Baker wondered if it was possible to instead apply for storm water infrastructure. He also asked if other projects had been looked at that would qualify for the criteria, perhaps something for the harbour or old schoolhouse in Colchester. As part of the package to be sent for the Expression of Interest, administration will send along the report Stempski Kelly Associates Inc. prepared for the Silo District. In the report to Council it notes that this plan highlighted $1.5 million in expenses, in addition to improvements at the Victoria Avenue/ Talbot Street intersection, and the assumed demolition of the silos. Proposed rezoning for Shoppers Drug Mart Heather (Ross) Jablonski, Town Planner, said that the Shoppers Drug Mart in Harrow would like to expand, bringing the facility from
Essex Laser Studio

583 square metres to around 983 square meters during another special meeting. To do this, she said, the C2.2 zoning would have to be amended so it is site specific. This would allow the business to have a larger floor area, as the town’s zoning bylaw restricts the maximum gross floor area of retail stores. They also intend to expand parking to include over 80 spaces. Monday’s meeting was the statutory public meeting component of the process. Council was able to hear about this proposed zoning change and to hear concerns of others. Councillor Sherry Bondy thinks this is fantastic news and is excited to see the new development. This expansion will help with accessibility, she added. The rezoning will have to come back to Council. This is planned to happen on Monday, October 6. The Planning Department at this point will offer Council recommendations on the issue. If the rezoning is approved, there will be an appeal period of 20 days. Council received this report.

Manager of Municipal Engagement, and Tom Zadorski, Manager of Special Projects, for Canada Post attended the Essex Council meeting to explain the details outlined in its Five-Point Strategy. In the past, Essex Council had sent a resolution to Canada Post requesting someone come and speak about the FivePoint Strategy. Paterson said Canada Posts delivers to around 50 million addresses in Canada, a third of which is door-to-door. Most people get their mail at a centralized location, such as a community mailbox. Rural mail delivery, he said, will continue as it is. Between 2006 and 2013 there was a huge drop in letter mail. This is due to many companies switching to internet billing. As there are more addresses to deliver to every year, it becomes more important that Canada Post becomes more efficient, he said, adding it costs Canada Post $283 per address to deliver to the door. A community address costs $108. He pointed out there is a costs saving there. Canada Post is a Crown Corporation, but does not get any government

Live & Uncensored ••• Comment Richard Parkinson •••
Big events in my lifetime September 11 has come and gone. I wanted to write about it last week, but there were so many letters-to-theeditor that we didn’t have the room. That’s good. I think your letters are extremely important. I still vividly remember Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. I was at work, here at the Free Press, when it was announced that something terrible had happened in New York. A TV was brought into the middle of the production area and we all watched as those horrible events unfolded in front of our eyes. It was a world-changing event, probably more than we realize. Things changed and they would never go back to how they were. My son was six and my daughter was four when it happened. They might have vague recollections of that day, just like I have vague recollections of important world events that occurred when I was very young. I don’t remember anything about Vietnam or the Munich Olympic Games terrorist attack in 1972. I do recall the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1979 and the then-Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the same year. I remember when the Berlin Wall went down. That was vivid. As a child growing up through the Cold War, that event seemed to usher in some golden new age where peace would reign. It gave a lot of renewed hope to me, and maybe to others of my generation.
One spectre though has been exchanged for another. The “Red Menace” might be gone, but terrorism has taken its place. I witnessed the end of Apartheid in South Africa, the creation of the European Union and I’ve seen developing nations come to the fore as newly developed nations. I remember the days when very few homes had a personal computer in them. Now nearly every home does. I remember when cash was the primary way that customers bought things in stores. There were no debit cards. My experience though is limited when compared to my parents. They lived through World War II, and saw vast technological changes. I love hearing their stories of the ‘good, old days.’ Even when they talk about the war, they focus on the positive things. There are a lot of drawbacks to getting old. Aches and pains, grey hair and wrinkles are just some of them. There are some good things about getting old too – more memories, more experience and the ability to not sweat the small stuff. The important thing though is to share those stories and experiences with our children and grandchildren. Turn off the TV, set aside the iPad and iPod, put the computer in sleep mode and talk. Sometimes kids love to hear those stories. I know I do.
Letter to the Editor Ò You know what this town needs?Ó Keeping our downtowns vibrant is a province-wide challenge, one faced by just about every town and city. And deciding how to reverse the downtown decline and fill the empty storefronts has become a big issue. We know some of the root causes. Certainly, consumers shopping habits have changed dramatically in the last twenty years. It is a new generation of shoppers. But even some Baby Boomers have embraced the latest trends, such as internet shopping. You know, surfing the web for the best deals. Everyone I know has at least one idea to improve our downtowns. And I am positive that the best solutions will be “home grown” ones. Ideas from people that know their community. I am a boomer too, plenty technical and internet savvy, but old-fashioned when it comes to shopping. I like to go to the little shops, diner and market, see familiar smiles. I hear my name, followed by a “how can I help you?” There is small talk. Perhaps it is from having the good fortune of spending a couple of days as a child shopping with my Grandma. To the grocers for this, the butcher for this, the
druggist for this, sundries you know, and if lucky, the baker for this. Milk and bread were delivered at your home, just like your newspaper, no internet involved. I do not shop online, or flee the province to seek deals across the border. I guess I figure my savings in time is more valuable then my savings in dimes or dollars. I have not been without fault, once thinking that all my major need purchases, home and garden, could only be found in the big box store. And then, so often my search ended back in my hometown, finding exactly what I was looking for at a local merchant. I got wise. Can you guess where my search begins now?! Anyways, give this some thought. I have to go up to the grocers, some sundries and such. I will probably see some people I know. There will be small talk, maybe something like this - “You know what this town needs?” Try to shop local. Take the kids or grandkids with you, saving time for the park. Andy Comber Essex
Let’s Talk About... by Evelyn Couch - Our pride and our joy By the time you read this the Spitfire model will be in place at what is to become a park near the station. Did you see the parade as it went from the Memorial arena to the permanent location? As you know, I have felt since the Canadian Tire building was torn down to make way for our Shoppers’ Drug Mart and we lost our Spitfire mural, something should be done to replace it. Some of you know there is a miniscule amount in the town coffers that a few people donated toward a new one. Isn’t this a better memorial? And it is intended to
include the names of all who served in the air force during World War II. I expect that includes the ground crew as well as those who carried out the battle in the air. Now we need promotion. We need to make it known that we have something to see and remember. And that means promoting the fact we have a World War I German cannon on our municipal lawn. It is not just some oddity like the town that has a large nickel or the one with the effigy of a lobster. Our attractions have a history, and that is what we need to record on the silos. Have those silos painted and we have our tourist attraction that has no equal anywhere.

Migration Hall welcomes Celtic Fury Irish Dance Company
submitted to EFP On Saturday, September 20, at 7:30 pm, the Celtic Fury Irish Dance Company will perform Ò Irish Fire: A Dancing Story of Love and DesireÓ , at Migration Hall, Kingsville. Founded by Devin Cornell in January 2000, Celtic Fury Irish Dance Company is the foremost Irish dance company in Canada. Celtic FuryÕ s production of the show
Voice Of Inspiration Ò If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.Ó ~ Virginia Woolf
Ô Irish FireÕ has left in its wake crowds of people in awe of the talented performers that make the show come alive. The show has been performed at numerous theatres and festivals across the globe earning the company rave reviews. The stunning footwork and impeccable synchronization of Celtic FuryÕ s performers have made Ô Irish FireÕ a show worthy of performance on any stage in the world. As the house lights dim and the music swells, the audience is certain of one thing - this is not a typical dance performance. The 90 minute spectacle challenges all stereotypes associated with Irish dance. Far from traditional, Ô Irish FireÕ is a show that can easily be compared to such contemporary hits as Ô RiverdanceÕ and Ô Lord of the Dance.Õ Created and choreographed by Devin Cornell, Ô Irish FireÕ is as unique as it is entertaining. The gentle grace of the soft shoe, the heart-pounding percussion of the hard shoe and the haunting vocal performances come together in a perfect blend of theatrical beauty. The result is a stunning work of art that lives forever in the memories of all those who experience it.
Tickets are available by calling the Migration Hall ticket outlet at: Box Office Video 519-733-5357 or online at www.migrationhall.com.

Not only was this an opportunity for the community to see some great motorcycles and support the Maidstone Bicentennial Museum, it was also an opportunity for interested motorcyclists to connect with the CVMG and learn what this club has to offer. Prisley noted that anyone who would like to join the Essex-Kent section of the CVMG is invited to attend one of its meetings. The next meeting will be held at Brews and Cues in LaSalle on Thursday, October 2 at 7 p.m. More information about the group and upcoming events can be found at www.cvmg.ca. The CVMG is a non-profit organization that promotes the use and restoration of vintage or historical motorcycles. Along with these meetings, the group also takes part in bigger rides, such as the annual national section rally in Paris, Ontario, and other events during the summer months.

Essex Council Notes... funding. He said Canada Post wants to remain profitable to save jobs and maybe even create jobs. The Five-Point Strategy Plan includes tiered pricing structure, expanding convenience through postal franchises, streamlining operations, addressing labour costs and implementing community mailboxes. Internet shopping is booming and parcel delivery is a saving grace for Canada Post, he said. The savings to switch to community mailboxes could be up to $500 million, he said. Addressing labour costs will be done through negotiations. Canada Post will be respecting collective agreements, he said. Paterson added that Canada Post has heard from businesses that daily mail delivery is very important. He also explained the accommodation package, which is for someone who feels like they are going to have trouble getting their mail from a community mailbox. Canada Post is also committed to working with municipalities to decide where community mailboxes should be installed. He also shared the newer design for community mailboxes, which he said seem to be much more secure. Councillor Sherry Bondy said that local government has a job to secure services and advocate for services. This is a very big issue and she has several questions and she can’t wait to talk to Canada Post about her concerns. Council received the report.
Sign Requests Sheila Anne Herold owner of the Harrow and Colchester Visitors Centre and Find Your Green made a request to erect signs throughout the municipality to direct visitors to the business on the four roads entering Harrow Centre, at the intersection of King/ Queen and a “Visitor Info Ahead” sign eastbound on King. She also requested Council shows its support by participating in the membership in the Visitors Centre with its four centers. Council received this report and directed administration to look into this. Bulk water filling stations report At a past meeting, Council requested administration to look into bulk water filling stations. Director of Infrastructure & Development Chris Nepszy forwarded a related report to Council. He said that he asked other municipalities and if they offer this infrastructure and wanted to know the associated costs. In the report it highlights a few of capital costs and
operational expenses to install and maintain this infrastructure. Councillor Sherry Bondy is not comfortable letting Council make this decision now, but would be ok with putting it on next year’s budget as a line item that the new Council could consider. Future Feed-In Tariff projects Council authorized Administration to explore opportunities to submit applications for future FIT programs either on its own, or in conjunction with E.L.K. In the report to Council, it stated it is anticipated that a new FIT application process will begin in early 2015.

Council to recognize Waste Reduction Week Correspondences from the Recycling Council of Ontario asked Council to participate in an environmental campaign to build awareness about waste reduction and recognize Waste Reduction Week in Canada from October 20-26. This will be posted on the TownÕ s Facebook page. Council received and supported this request. Councillor Sherry Bondy wants to take this a step further. She hoped administration could come up with a slogan to encourage Essex residents recycle out of every room. At the recent AMO Conference, she attended a Ò WhatÕ s in your Blue BoxÓ seminar. She learned Ontarians do well when it comes to recycling out of the kitchen, but not so well when it comes to the bathroom or other rooms. This would encourage residents to not forget about recycling things like shampoo bottles.
Essex and Harrow Life Chains Essex Council received the Windsor-Essex County and Leamington Right to Life correspondences regarding upcoming Harrow and Essex Life Chain events that will be held on Sunday, October 5 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The Essex OPP will be notified of these events. Councillor Sherry Bondy said this issue could be dealt with from a different angle. With many couples unable to have children and with mothers having unplanned pregnancies, focus should be on being passionate about increasing adoption rates, this would result in less terminated pregnancies, she thinks. Ò Adoption is such a beautiful option,Ó she said. Bylaw for advanced voting polls Essex Council approved a bylaw to allow for advanced polls to be held prior to voting day for the upcoming municipal election: Saturday, October 4 from 9 a.m.3 p.m. at the McGregor Community Centre and on Saturday, October 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at

the Harrow and Colchester South Community Centre. The Municipal election will take place on Monday, October 27. According to essex.ca, for the second consecutive election, the Town of Essex will use Ò Vote By MailÓ to collect ballots. The Ò Vote By MailÓ kits should arrive by mail within the first week of October. Flooding issues With the recent flooding, Councillor Bill Baker brought up this issue and said that many area residents, such as those living within Tully Meadows, have questions. Some have created a survey to submit to the Town to inform staff about past flooding issues and where water was seeping into their homes. He wondered what the next step would be. He noted this was taxing on many. Director of Infrastructure & Development Chris Nepszy said he has been discussing this issue with area residents over the last few days. He sympathizes with area homeowners who have had their homes flooded during recent rains. It is important for residents whose homes have been flooded to call the Town to inform staff of this, along with their address, name, and to indicate where the water was seeping in. That way the info can be compiled and staff can look to see if there were other factors other than getting too much water in a small time frame.
The Voice Of Experience by Evelyn Couch
- Replies to my articles I am very grateful that there were two responses to my recent columns. When anyone has a correction or comment on my writing I am happy to hear about it. I regret that the daughters of Howard Large felt I was criticizing their fatherÕ s obituary. The reason I mentioned that his time as Essex postmaster was not included was because I wanted Essex people to know that he had been our postmaster. Regarding my remark about the 90 pounds, I meant only that some time had passed for he had gained a normal weight by the time he came here. I can assure you I would know he was not over his war experience because I interviewed several veterans who had great difficulty telling me about theirs because of the agony the memories caused for them, even 50 years later. I am sorry I did not interview Howard Large. I deeply regret that there was a misunderstanding of my article that may have caused grief to his daughters. I wrote it because I wanted Essex people to know and be proud that he was once our postmaster and for many to recall knowing him. Ruth Ann Hickey took the time to correct my error on street names and I appreciate that. It is very
important that this is registered properly in our history and in case you did not read Ruth AnnÕ s letter, I will repeat what she wrote. She tells us that four of the streets in the UAW subdivision were named after the sons of Ruth Ann and Charles Hickey - Edward, Patrick, Graham, and Brendan. She states it is their understanding that an employee of the developer altered two of the names before the documents were registered to be the names of his children. So we have Kim and Michael. I will see that the information is on file at the ECHRS museum.

submitted to the EFP The Rotary Club of Essex is announcing that applications for the Rotary Youth Exchange Program are now available. The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is open to current high school students in Grades 11 and 12. The Program for the 2015-16 school year would see students leave in August of 2015 for their one-year abroad. Ò The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is one of the premier programs of Rotary International and it is supported by Rotary Clubs all around the world,Ó says Essex Rotary Public Relations Chair Ron Ricci. Students who participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program will spend one year abroad living and learning a new culture and new language. Students will be sponsored by the Rotary Club of Essex as well as the local club in their host country and will attend high school there as a full-time student. The Rotary Youth Exchange Program provides students between the ages of 16 and 18 the opportunity of a lifetime. ItÕ s a chance
to spend 11 months in another country learning the language and culture. According to Club President Neil McBeth, Ò Students apply through their local Rotary Club and during the month of September to go on exchange the next school year.Ó Exchange students and their parents are guided through months of orientation and information about the country of their exchange year and the rules of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. Exchange students typically stay with two or three Rotary-approved families and receive
a monthly stipend for incidental expenses. Rotary Youth Exchange students need to be above average students who are eager for the chance to try new things and meet new people. Students will learn about other cultures, about other people and about themselves. Interested students and their families must complete preliminary applications and submit them to the Rotary Club prior to October 1. For more information on the Exchange Program and to obtain these applications, contact Ron Ricci of the Rotary Club of Essex at 519-562-5000.

Spitfire arrives in ‘Spitfire Park’
Spectators lined the street and gathered in the park to watch as the replica Spitfire named Priscilla was moved from the Essex Memorial Arena to its new home in the Heritage Gardens at the foot of Victoria Ave. near the Essex Train Station. It was a reason to celebrate for many and an
emotional event for some. WWII veteran Larry Costello was present. He said this was an important event for him because he has dedicated his life to honouring veterans and those who fell during the war. Randy and Shelley Voakes were present to watch the plane named

Ò We both cried together,” said Shelley. “It was a great moment.” Priscilla Campbell was a local artist who passed away recently. Her art series Ò She couldn’t be good,” was inspired by WWII era pin-up art. Priscilla was small in stature but big in personality. Her motto was “And though she be but little, she is fierce.” “She was a ‘spitfire,’” said Shelley. Randy pointed out that it was important not to lose sight of the RCAF pilots and veterans the monument stands for. Essex Memorial Spitfire Committee member Erik Billing was looking forward to next Sunday’s dedication ceremony, which he plans to attend with the rest of the Billing family. The ceremony will include fly-

second straight and third championship race victory in the last four years. Dick had already clinched his first career division points championship a week earlier. Ò ItÕ s a fantastic feeling,Ó Dick said about sweeping the Modified crowns. “I’m not a points guy, but itÕ s cool being a champion. And it means a lot to win this championship race, we overcame a lot the second half of the season,Ó he said. Dick won all five features in May and eight of the first 10 through July 5. But he said the car was never the same after a hard crash with ChathamÕ s Eugene Hoekstra in the July 19 feature. He won two more features the rest of the way and was able to maintain a steady lead in the standings over Belle RiverÕ s Mario Toniolo. For the first half of SaturdayÕ s championship race, it looked like Toniolo might pull off the upset as he took the lead on the initial green and held point for 15 laps. But, on lap 16, Dick got a run on the high side going into turn three and exited turn four with the lead. Ò Mario had the bottom working good and the only

way around him was to not follow him, so I had to change my line and go to the top side,Ó said Dick. Ò Once the tires came in, I got the high groove working.Ó Toniolo couldnÕ t take advantage of two late cautions to regain the lead. Ò The bottom had gone away so I had to change my groove to the high side,Ó Toniolo said. Ò I could stay
with him, but once Joel passed me, all I could do was sit second. But this feels like a win,Ó Toniolo said, capping his breakout season by finishing second in both the championship race and points standings. TonioloÕ s biggest fan was behind the wheel of the 09D car. Ò ItÕ s always good racing Mario, you know itÕ s going to be clean,Ó
Dick said. Ò We had a great battle, I canÕ t say enough about racing with that guy.Ó Dick finishes the season with 11 feature wins and 22 checkered flags. He now has 30 feature wins since moving up to the Modifieds in 2010. Ò I canÕ t say thanks

enough to my Dad (Tom), Ted and Steve in the pits,Ó Dick said. Ò This year has been fantastic. We had our ups and down, we struggled the second half but we stuck to our game plan, we take each night as it comes. As a team we all get along well, and that shows up on the race track.Ó ChathamÕ s Darryl Hoekstra and Brian Speelman finished third while CottamÕ s Denis
DeSerrano ended his fine rookie season with a strong fifth-place finish. Leamington’s Justin Coulter worked his way up from his 23rd starting position to finish eighth while TilburyÕ s J.J. Beaulieu was 10th. WindsorÕ s Dan McIntyre finished 13th, followed in order by EssexÕ s Gerald Martin, WheatleyÕ s Justin Mills and Windsor drivers Emerson McIntyre, Rick Harrison and Shawn Gillis
from 14th to 18th. RidgetownÕ s Dale Glassford led all 20 laps to win his second career championship race in the Westside Performance Plus UMP Late Models. The victory also allowed Glassford, who went into the night with a slim two-point lead in the standings over ChathamÕ s Jim Jones, to win a third driversÕ championship by a 23-point difference. ChathamÕ s Gregg Haskell and WallaceburgÕ s Mike Lewis finished second and third. TilburyÕ s Paul Rivait finished ninth. BlenheimÕ s Trevor Jones clinched the Tirecraft Mini-Mods points championship with a second-place finish in SaturdayÕ s feature. ChathamÕ s John Pinsonneault won the feature and moved past CottamÕ s Rob Quick into second place in the standings but he is 113 points behind Jones with one race night remaining. The most points a driver can accumulate in one night is 105 in the MinMods. Quick, who led the points division in early August, had another rough night as he crashed early in the feature and finished 17th to fall out of the points
contention. MerlinÕ s Steve Shaw Jr. finished third. EssexÕ s Dylan Wolters, a 14-year-old rookie, finished fourth for his third straight top-5 finish. MerlinÕ s Jody Mason finished fifth, followed in order by Essex rookie Tom Reimer, TilburyÕ s Gerry Rivait, WindsorÕ s Gerald Underwood, KingsvilleÕ s Norm DeSerrano and MerlinÕ s Ryan Phillips to round out the top 10. Kingsville’s Larry Hart,
who led the first seven laps before contact with Jones led to a 14th-place finish, won his heat race. ChathamÕ s Eric Vanderiviere won his second Tirecraft Sport Stocks feature of the season, leading all 20 laps. MerlinÕ s Steve Shaw finished second and points leader Eren Vanderiviere, of Chatham, was third. VanderiviereÕ s lead over Shaw is 52 points going into this SaturdayÕ s

Early Bird hockey tournament starts Thursday - Tournament now in 37th year 1941 Ford coupe with same owner 35 years!
Terry Ceaser of Smiths Falls, Ontario, writes: Ò Hi, Bill. I bought a 1941 Ford business coupe 35 years ago and I watched it being hot rodded 55 years ago by Dick Roy in Cornwall. Ò The car has an interesting history. After Dick Roy rodded it, he sold it to someone in Ottawa and it was sold four times after that. Each owner changed its appearance and it finally appeared in a driveway in Smiths Falls, where I live. I drove by it one day and thought I recognized it, so stopped to look at it more closely. I ended up trading a 1974 Mark IV Lincoln for it. Ò A frame-off rebuild was done about ten years ago by Matthews Auto Body, which involved installing the 1941 Ford body on a 1987 Chev S10 truck frame and replacing all the fenders, quarter panels, hood, and cowl. Two years ago, a 1990 HO (High Output) 5.0L Ford Mustang engine replaced the 5.0L police engine installed when the frame-off restoration was done. The S10 suspension, disc brakes, power steering, and Positrac differential were used. The car is a daily driver, not a Trailer Queen, and I enjoy driving it on local trips to cruise nights in our area. Ò I really like reading your stories in our local paper, the Smiths Falls EMC Record News.Ó TerryÕ s ultra-cool Õ 41 Ford coupe has undergone a world of changes since it rolled off the assembly line over 70 years ago. If it was built at the Ford plant in Windsor, Ontario, it had a factory list price ranging from $1080.00 to $1180, depending on the series. As a business coupe, it left the factory as a 3-passnger with front seat only (the sedan coupe had a rear

seat). Under the hood was a 221 cubic inch flathead V8 engine cranking out 85 horsepower. A close look at TerryÕ s coupe reveals exhaust cut-outs at the rear of the front fenders for those times when he wants a little extra horsepower (and a little extra noise!). The original side trim has been shaved off and the door handles have disappeared. You will have to ask Terry how he gets in. The rear license plate has been nicely frenched into the trunk lid, and the rear end sits slightly higher than the front, as if the car is ready to zoom away! And how about that chopped top, giving this car a low and powerful look when you see it approaching in your rear view mirror! IÕ m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: Ò Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.Ó
by Fred Groves One of the largest minor hockey tournaments in Southwestern Ontario gets underway Thursday night as the Essex Minor Hockey Association hosts its annual Early Bird Tournament. This is the 37th edition of the event that is billed as a friendly tournament in which all teams are guaranteed four games. It is for travel teams from both across the WindsorEssex area and quite a few out-of-towners such as Kensington, Streetsville, Halton Hills, Burlington and Hamilton. In all there are 10 divisions ranging from the newest group, the Novice AE 2007, Novice AE, Novice Major, Atom Major and Minor, Peewee Major and Minor, Bantam Major and Minor and Midget Minor. This year there are a total of 67 teams. The Essex Ravens will get things started Thursday night at 6 p.m. when the Novice AE team takes on the Riverside Rebels on the Libra ice at the Essex Centre Sports Complex. That is followed by a 7 p.m game on the adjacent Shaheen rink where the Ravens novice major team faces the Southpoint Capitals. At 8 p.m. the Essex
Keaton Seal (right) of the Essex major novices battles at the faceoff against Riverside on the weekend. Seal and the rest of the Ravens will be in action at the Early Bird Tournament.
atom majors play the Kent Teksavvy Cobras on the Libro rink and, at the same time, the peewee minors will play the Amherstburg Stars on the Shaheen rink. At 9 p.m. the Ravens bantam majors will play against the Belle River Canadiens on the Libra rink. Games will be played Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and will wrap up on Sunday. They will be played on the two rinks at the Essex Sports Complex, Kingsville, Harrow and South Windsor. No games will be played in the Essex Memorial Arena, which does not have ice this year.

Rough start to season for Essex 73’s
Essex centre Daniel McIntyre looks to move the puck against the Admirals.
by Fred Groves It was a tough way to begin the new hockey season last Tuesday night as the defending Great Lakes Junior Ô CÕ Hockey League champions Essex 73Õ s fell 3-2 in overtime to the visiting Amherstburg Admirals. On Friday, they were beaten 3-1 by the Lakeshore Canadiens. For the 73Õ s it was the third straight game against the Admirals having split their pre-season contests
in what is going to be a rebuilding year. The hosts hit the scoreboard first when veteran Matthew Hebert jumped on a juicy rebound kicked out by former teammate Arren Romeril. Ò It went off (Daniel) SlipchukÕ s skate. I was just trying to track it. I was in a good position,Ó said Hebert who notched the powerplay marker. Essex went 1-4 with the man advantage. What hurt Essex
the most in the opener, besides costly turnovers, was giving up the tying goal with 1:16 left in the first frame and after taking a 2-1 lead in the second, the visitors got a little puck luck and it was even again with 27 seconds left. Ò I donÕ t think it was a lack of focus. They out worked us, it wonÕ t happen again,Ó said Hebert who is in his fourth season with the 73Õ s. Essex has got a new look this year as they have
opted to go with a youth movement. Returning 11, including six second year skaters, the 73Õ s have one 16 year-old and half a dozen 17-year-old players on the roster. Newcomer defenceman Adam Giairin who brings size to the back end, at 6Õ 1Ó and 194 pounds, scored the other goal when he went hard to the net and banged in a loose puck. Hebert got the assist, picking up his second point of the night. Ò We have to cut the turnovers down. All over the ice that came to haunt us. We are young and it showed,Ó said Essex coach Gil Langlois. Amongst the veterans, Jordan Ryan had a strong game and played a physical role, especially in the third period. Langlois is banking on the assistant captain, who had 17 tallies a year ago, to produce offensively. Ò We are counting on him to put the puck in the net. He was a little snake bitten tonight,Ó said Langlois. Ryan had the lone goal Friday against the Canadiens as he teamed with Slipchuk
and blueliner Mark MacPherson. Rookie forward William Stadder who skated on a line with Michael Vieira and converted blueliner Dan Mainella last week looked sharp and was given some key opportunities late in the game. “He has offensive flare
and he has that knack around the puck. He is a smart kid and listens well,Ó said Langlois. Essex goalie Colin Lauzon made 21 saves but it was the clanger off the iron by Cody Lememing early in the extra period that was the difference. At the other end, Romeril made 35 stops.
