New B-I-N-G-O game launched by OGVG REGIONAL — Next week’s copy of the Southpoint Sun will kick-off an exciting new program that will net some local lucky reader a $5000 prize. The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) are in the midst of a campaign to connect with our readers and the back pages of the Southpoint Sun have carried some useful information on a bi-weekly basis for the past several weeks. Next week, however, they will launch their ‘Our House To Yours’ BINGO. “We want to engage with the residents and help people understand the significant economic impact that the greenhouse industry has on this area,” says OGVG General Manager, Joe Sbrocchi. “This bingo adds a little fun to it.” Sbrocchi is hoping that the campaign will help people understand a lot
of the good initiatives that the greenhouse sector is a part of in the community, and how this area is helping to feed people all across Ontario. “We hope they can appreciate what happens in our industry, and how it happens,” he said. OGVG Marketing Consultant, Dani Sweet, came up with the idea for the bingo, which is ready to launch in the April 21 edition of the Southpoint Sun. “We want to give back,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for people to win a little bit of cash.” Sweet pointed out that, during the pandemic, everyone is looking for something fun to do and this contest helps them get their message across and provide some fun for the participants, all the while having a chance to win some cash. “We’re excited to get this going,” she added. Bingo cards will be in-
serted into the April 21 edition of the Southpoint Sun and will also be available for pick-up at different sites throughout the area. About 25,000 cards have been printed and the game will be played much like a regular bingo game. There is a limit of one card per person. There is a 75-number board, from which numbers will be pulled every week, according to Sweet. The amount of numbers posted will vary each week, but the numbers will be printed on the Southpoint Sun’s back page and also available on the OGVG website, the Southpoint Sun website and Facebook. There is a $7,000 total prize board to be won and the first person to fill their card will receive
$5000. Other prizes are also available over the 10-week bingo contest for different line configurations. At the end of the contest, anyone wanting to send their cards in with their
email address attached, will be put into one final random draw for a $500 cash prize. Full rules and details will be printed on the back page of next week’s Southpoint Sun.

REGIONAL — With the Emergency Brake Shutdown announced April 1, still fresh in the minds of Ontarians, Premier Doug Ford doubled-down and issued a new State of Emergency for the province, accompanied by a stay-at-home order, which took effect Thursday, April 8 at 12:01 am. The order is expected to last for 28 days, at which time it will be re-evaluated. With COVID-19 positivity numbers on the rise, the Premier and his health table made the announcement last week to stem the spread of the virus and it’s more dangerous variants. The stay-at-home order and
emergency declaration effectively closed restaurants to indoor and outdoor dining, leaving many eateries with take-out as their only option. The announcement was met with harsh criticism from both sides. Anti-lockdown groups decried Ford for killing small business during what many of them call a ‘plandemic.’ On the health and science side, those groups were equally as critical, saying that the Premier didn’t do enough — soon enough. During the 28-day shutdown, personal care salons were also forced to shut down. Big box stores like Walmart and Costco — long maligned because
it was felt they were not essential — were hit with restrictions that saw them cordon off several sections of their stores. That action was done to allow smaller businesses to compete on a more level playing field. Golf courses can remain open throughout the shutdown, but campgrounds cannot accept overnight campers. The shutdown moves along as vaccine numbers continue to rise in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent. According to the Windsor Essex County Health Unit, about 87 per cent of adults 80-plus have had at least one dose of vaccine. The race between the vaccine

and the COVID variants of concern rages on, with the variants holding a decisive lead province-wide. The local health units, however, have so far, been able to stay ahead of the virus by vaccinating over 25 per cent of the adult population, namely the 60plus age groups. The hope is that — with the stay-at-home order slowing down the virus — the vaccination programs be able to Fromwill self-employed ret make tremendous progress over we’re here to take care the next three-and-a-half weeks.

Province moves schools to online learning
TORONTO — The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, has made the difficult decision to move elementary and secondary schools to remote learning following the April break. Premier Doug Ford, accompanied by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, and Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health, made the announcement Monday afternoon. The move has been made in response to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, the increasing risks posed to the public by COVID-19 variants, and the massive spike in hospital admissions. “We are seeing a rapidly deteriorating situation with a record number of COVID cases and hospital admissions threatening to overwhelm our health care system,” said Premier Ford. “As I have always said, we will do whatever it takes to ensure everyone stays safe. By keeping kids home longer after spring break we will limit community transmission, take pressure off our hospitals and allow more time to rollout our COVID-19 vaccine plan.” According to Dr. Williams, with appropriate measures in place, schools have been safe places for learning throughout the pandemic However, increasing rates of community spread pose a threat to the health and safety of school communi-

ties. As a result, all publicly funded and private elementary and secondary schools in the province are to move to teacher-led remote learning when students return from the April break on April 19, 2021. Private schools operating in-person this week are to transition to remote learning by April 15. This action is being taken in support of the government’s broader efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19. Data will be assessed on an ongoing basis and health officials will be consulted to determine when it will be safe to resume in-person learning. Child care for non-school aged children remains open. Before-and-after school programs will be closed and free emergency child care for schoolaged children of health care and frontline workers will be provided. To protect the most vulnerable, boards will make provisions for in-person support for students with special education needs who require additional support that cannot be accommodated through remote learning. “This was not a decision we made lightly, as we know how critical schools are to Ontario students. Our priority has always been to keep schools open, however sharply rising community transmission can put our schools and Ontario families at risk,” said Minister Lecce.

Kingsville’s Ortaliza has good things growing KINGSVILLE — Good things are growing in Kingsville, as Ortaliza Urban Indoor Vertical Farm opened their doors recently in the heart of downtown. Owners Carina Biacchi and Alvaro Fernandes, have found a niche market that has locals buzzing about the taste and freshness of their product. Born and raised in Brazil, the couple came to Canada in 2016 and settled in the Kitchener-Waterloo area before Alvara took a job with a greenhouse operation here. “We’ve always had this dream,” said Carina. “We wanted to start growing microgreens on a larger scale.” When Alvaro’s place of employment closed their doors a few months ago, the couple decided to dive head first into microgreen farming. “Microgreens are a superfood,” says Carina. “This stage of a plant’s life has the most nutrient density.” Microgreens are basically baby vegetable and herb plants, harvested in the stage of life that gives the most health benefits.
An added attraction is that they also carry the most taste at that stage of life.
“Microgreens are a superfood.” — Carina Biacchi The couple has their Main Street shop set up with racks loaded with trays of growing greens, from radish, to carrot, arugula, basil and so much more. “We have 25 different microgreens currently,” added Alvaro. “We’re starting small and adding new greens as we grow.” The couple opened on March 19 and sold completely out of their fresh greens within a week. They had to close for a few days to give them time to grow a new crop. “It usually takes between 10 and 15 days for microgreens to grow from planting to harvesting,” said Alvaro. They harvest everything by hand and only harvest enough to supply that day’s expected demand. They will also harvest a certain variety if someone comes to the
store and needs on-thespot harvesting. For those that have had microgreens in a salad, they want you to know that they are not just for salads. “We top every dish with microgreens,” said Carina. “We do omelettes, pizza and even burgers topped with microgreens.” The versatility of the greens allows for them to be used in any type of cooking, or just eaten as a snack. “The sunflower microgreens, for instance, have a very nutty taste,” said Carina. “They are great for snacking.” The couple is also using the mustard microgreens on their hotdogs, which provide the same taste as conventional mustard, but also packs a bunch of nutrients. It’s all about food diversity,” said Carina. The greens are planted in a peat moss substrate, which allows for quick growth, and they are pesticide-free. Shelf life is very good after harvest if they are kept refrigerated. Ortaliza just started up
an online ordering platform and also has a subscription program where they will deliver an assortment of microgreens to any home in Windsor-Essex. Delivery is free and right now, they are giving a 20 per cent discount on the subscription program. You can find them online at www.ortaliza.ca or stop in at their store at 25 Main Street West, Unit 1 during business hours. They are open Tuesday through Friday 11-5 and Saturdays 10-2.

Wheatley processors get boost from government WHEATLEY — Two Wheatley-based fish processing operations were among four Chatham-Kent fish and seafood processing companies to receive funds from the federal government recently. Last week, Irek Kusmierczyk, Member of Parliament for Windsor–Tecumseh, on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario, announced a total FedDev Ontario investment of nearly $1.5 million through the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) to support four companies in the Chatham–Kent region, the world’s largest freshwater commercial fishing port and one of Ontario’s key fish and seafood processing regions. With funding support, these four processors will be able to cover fixed operating expenses, including COVID-19 safety measures, utilities, insurance and employee wages. They will be able to purchase personal protective equipment required for employees, and retrofit shared workspaces to comply with social distancing measures. Additionally, they will be able to focus on retaining their skilled labour force and attracting new talent to their hardworking teams. John O’s Foods Inc., a fish processor and wholesaler of fresh and frozen freshwater fish, is receiving $195,000 in support through RRRF. As the second-larg-

est producer of lake fish in Ontario, serving both United States and Canadian markets, the company’s revenues have been significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19 on its primary clients in the food service industry. John O’s Foods Inc. employs 70 skilled employees in Wheatley. “Our food ends up on the tables of restaurants around the world,” said John O’s Director of Finance, Jay Aird. Presteve Foods Limited, a harvester, processor and distributor of wholesale freshwater fish and seafood from all five Great Lakes and other North American inland lakes, is receiving $400,000 in support through RRRF. As its primary customers in the restaurant industry have been severely impacted by COVID-19, the company is experiencing a 66 percent decrease in sales, and was forced to temporarily shut down production for one month at the onset of the pandemic in 2020. Presteve Foods Limited employs 138 skilled employees in Wheatley. “Thanks to the RRRF funding, Presteve Foods Limited is improving all aspects of our COVID-19 safety measures, including purchasing mandatory PPE, retrofitting existing and new shared workspaces, and boosting our capacity to monitor employee compliance,” said Dan Walda, Chief Financial Officer for Presteve.

States, is receiving $500,000 in support through RRRF. When the pandemic hit, demand from the food service industry significantly decreased, forcing the company to temporarily close its operations and pivot to grow its presence in Canada. A&A Marine Foods employs more than 30 full-time, skilled employees in Blenheim. “The RRRF investment will enable us to create more skilled jobs and to expand the supply of our freshwater products across Canada,” said Salvatore Peralta, President and CEO of A&A Marine Foods. “It will also be instrumental in supporting a sustainable future for the regional fishing industry.” Great Lakes Food Company, a harvester and processor of freshwater rainbow smelt from Lake Erie, is receiving $362,000 in support through RRRF. As a result of COVID-19, the company is experiencing a decrease in demand from its largest clients, including buffets, bars and restaurants in the United States and Japan, leading to a decline in sales and an increase in direct costs. Great Lakes Food Company employs 38 skilled employees in Chatham.

I am an independent woman who likes to do her own thing and spends a lot of time lounging around. I usually don’t like to leave my bed for many reasons and I like it when you come to me for affection. I love to be loved and especially love to have my head and neck scratched for me. I’m not really interested in playing with cat toys and would much rather stay put and relax the evening away. I’m pretty content to do my own thing and love my quiet time.

LEGIONS HONOUR BATTLE OF VIMY RIDGE
REGIONAL — The cenotaphs in Kingsville, Leamington and Wheatley featured flags flown at half-staff on Friday April 9, in memory of over 10,000 Canadians who lost their lives or were wounded in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place in April 1917. Located about 175 miles north of Paris, Canadian soldiers were tasked with taking back Vimy Ridge, which the Germans had taken early in the First World War. Vimy Ridge proved to be a great success for the Canadians but came at a heavy cost, losing about 3,600 men, with another 7,000 injured. As an expression of gratitude for the extreme sacrifices of Canadian soldiers, the area around Vimy Ridge was later decreed Canadian territory by France. The flags were to remain lowered just for the day on Friday, but news of the death of Prince Philip kept them lowered until after his funeral. Sun photo

Sure, there were some players who changed teams, but nothing like in past years where blockbusters were the theme of the day. The pandemic-shortened season may have had something to do with it. Often-maligned ex-Spitfire, Taylor Hall went to the Boston Bruins, as the lowly Buffalo Sabres let him out of the cellar to move on to a contender. Hall had disappointed in Buffalo, where he signed a huge contract last summer. The former Hart Trophy winner had just two goals so far this season. Here’s hoping he does better with the change of scenery. My Maple Leafs made a medium-sized splash, going after left winger Nick Foligno and goalie David Rittich. Foligno’s story is intriguing, mostly due to his father, Mike, spending parts of four seasons in Toronto in the twilight of his career. Mike Foligno was a fan favourite in the early 1990s when he wore number 71 for the Leafs. The former Red Wing had experienced some great years in Detroit and Buffalo before coming to the Leafs, where he didn’t light the lamp as often as they’d hoped, but he was sure entertaining to watch. His son is built very much like him and plays a similar game, so Leaf fans are either salivating that they have another Foligno in the fold, or stomping their feet that the aforementioned Taylor Hall isn’t coming to Toronto. Either way, I think the Leafs have a
RIB’S RAMBLINGS
run. As the naysayers will remind us — every day for 54 years — the Leafs have been in this position before, with hope and promise in their back pocket. Well, hope and promise doesn’t get you very far in the NHL playoffs, where you’ll need great goaltending, physicality and the right scoring touch. Speaking of goaltending, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention another ex-Spitfire in Jack Campbell. He is now the NHL record holder for most consecutive games won to start a season, with 11 wins-in-a-row. Of course, he lost Monday night, but the record still stands. And of course, former Leamington Flyers defenceman, T.J. Brodie, is having a stellar year on the blueline for Toronto, which is a pleasant surprise for me. I expected Tyson Barrie 2.0 and so far, Brodie has been so much better defensively. Time will tell, and I’ll likely be disappointed once again in May, but things are looking up (a little) for my team.

Letter to the Editor
Chamber manager outlines benefits of membership Dear Editor: Businesses join the Chamber of Commerce for several reasons. Years ago, it may have been expected; just something you did when you opened a business and wanted to be in good standing in the community. But these days, it’s more likely a business joins because there is a direct advantage to them personally. Maybe they wanted a ribbon cutting or need the advocacy or wanted a marketing opportunity that membership allowed them. The chamber extends its benefits to all of your employees so you can use chamber membership benefits as employee benefits. Education Opportunities The chamber has a number of education opportunities where you and your employees can learn about important matters for free (or at a very low cost). Chamber webinar topics may include things like diversity, how to excel in social media, and economic interests in your area. They can help you become a more well-rounded professional, change careers, or get up-to-date on important topics in the community. Leadership Experience The chamber offers a lot of opportunities to volunteer for different committees or events. You may find a volunteer position in a subject that interests you like women leaders, diversity, workforce development, or marketing. Not only can these volunteer positions be added
to your resume, but volunteering could also help you meet people with similar interests and help you grow your professional network. Networking Getting involved with the chamber can help you meet more people and grow your professional network and make friendships. Even in communities where social gatherings are still mostly virtual, chambers have networking sessions to help you stay connected. Business Expansion and Hidden Opportunities As you grow your network, you may learn of additional business possibilities that you could add to your business or you could use to launch a new one. You may learn of seed money, grants, or private opportunities. Often business deals get made before anything is formally published or requested. Being personally involved in the chamber may help you be a part of those types of discussions and make you aware of opportunities before they become public. If you are interested in finding out more about the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce, please contact Wendy at info@leamingtonchamber. com or 519-326-2721. Sincerely, Wendy Parsons General Manager Leamington District Chamber of Commerce

REGIONAL — Last year, we heard about murder hornets as we dealt with the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they never really materialized. The early summer of 2021, however, is supposed to see the emergence of trillions of cicadas from the earth, ready to buzz their way into our back yards. It’s said that cicadas emerge every 13 or 17 years, and the last big cicada summer in this area occurred in 2004. This year’s batch is called Brood X, and is expected to be the largest brood in recent history. Cicadas have an internal clock, which tells them to emerge from the ground at certain intervals and search for a mate. The male cicada is the noisy one, producing a loud buzz in the trees to attract females. As the weather gets warmer, they tend to get louder. While they are quite large and noisy, cicadas are

harmless and won’t bother humans, pets or property. The name cicada comes from the Latin word for ‘tree cricket’. They are often referred to as a type of locust, but are not part of the locust family. Juvenile cicadas live about a foot under the ground until the final year, when they burrow their way to the surface, climb a tree and shed their skin, emerging as adults. They usually live for about four to six weeks. They are considered the loudest insects known to man and a swarm of them can produce sounds in the 120-decibel range.

Two agri-food businesses get boost from fund LEAMINGTON — Two area agrifood businesses were part of a six million dollar contribution from the federal government recently. Lakeside Produce of Leamington and Under Sun Acres of Staples, were both recipients of the Southwestern Ontario Emergency Proccessing Fund Bundle, which saw 31 agri-food companies across Ontario receive funds. Both local companies used the funds to add to their already stellar COVID-19 protection policies. Irek Kusmierczyk, MP for Windsor-Tecumseh, made the announcement, along with Neil Ellis, MP for the Bay of Quinte. “We are proud to support our local food processors,” said Kusmierczyk. Ellis agreed with the local MP. “The pandemic shone a light on the food industry,” he said. “These producers are vital for our economy. Over the
past year, they’ve shown incredible resilience.” Under Sun Acres General Manager, Lucas Semple, explained that their Staples farm is a 48-acre bell pepper operation, where they grow about 62 million kg of red, yellow and orange peppers each year. “Through the Processing Fund, we were able to erect a security entrance, where we sanitize everyone entering, including a show washer,” he said. “This gives us great confidence that no outside virus or disease is entering our facility.” Over at Lakeside Produce, Chief Operating Officer, Sudeshna Nambiar was thankful to Agri-Food Canada for the investment they’ve made in the operation. “The support we received has made all the difference in our fight against COVID-19,” she said. “Our workers are our people and we want to take every precaution to keep them safe.”
Letter to the Editor
Writer for small business, not maskless rally Dear Editor: I am in support of small businesses controlling the amount of people in their stores or restaurants. They are doing everything to stay afloat, but keeping people safe. But watching the news about protesting in front of Family Kitchen in Leamington, I feel did a grave disservice. Not a mask in sight and no social
distancing. They could have organized lines of marchers going by with their signs, SAFELY. Hopefully your actions will not cause severe illness and deter the message to help these small independent businesses. Sincerely, Barb VanWingerden

Fishtailing driver charged LEAMINGTON - On April 11, at approximately 8:30 p.m. a black car was travelling on Russell Street, approaching Chestnut Street, in the municipality of Leamington. The vehicle approached the stop sign and stopped, but as the driver began the turning motion, he revved the engine until the vehicle’s tires lost traction. As the engine continued to rev, the rear of the vehicle was observed to sway side-
to-side in a fish-tail motion. An Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer from Leamington Detachment observed the incident and stopped the vehicle for the offence. OPP have charged an 18-year-old from Dover, Ontario with stunt driving - Perform Stunt - Cause Tire to Lose Traction under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA). The vehicle was impounded for 7 days and the driver lost his licence for 7 days.

Flyers have to wait until next fall
GOJHL cancels 2020-21 season amid shutdown LEAMINGTON — The Leamington Flyers’ 2020-21 hockey season will not be played, as the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Monday that they have cancelled the season due to COVID restrictions. The league issued the following release: As COVID-19 has touched us all in one way or another, be it work, home life, family and/or travel, hockey is no exception. The GOJHL has made the difficult and unfortunate decision to cancel the 2020-21 season. There was never-ending hope that we would be able to somehow manage a safe and responsible 2020-21 hockey season.

However, with the Ontario Government issuing yet another “stay-at-home” order, effective through at least May 6, there simply is no way of completing any kind of meaningful season. All recreational facilities have been closed to the public, and most towns or cities are now in the process of taking their ice out. “The COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating to all Ontarians for so many reasons. Our front-line workers have certainly endured the greatest challenges and losses but our devoted athletes, coaches and staff who live for the game have lost as well,” said GOJHL Commissioner Brent Garbutt.
“At this time, we will focus our attention on planning for a successful return in the 2021-22 season, knowing full-well that we are not yet out of this pandemic and there will be more obstacles to overcome in the future.” The league received permission from the Ontario government to resume play in November, with modified rules. The Leamington Flyers participated in a short series with the LaSalle Vipers before play was shut down for good in December. It was hoped that a season would be salvageable, but the pandemic continues and the league made the decision this past weekend.

Sports flashbacks from 1980 Coulter leads senior league scoring Greg Coulter of the Leamington Glass team, led the Leamington Men’s Senior Hockey League in scoring this year. Coulter’s 40 goals and 25 assists put his point total of 65 some seven points ahead of runner-up Richard Ropchan of the Realistics. Art Verhaeghe, Ken Cobby and Jim McCallum rounded out the top five. Rob Otton led the league in penalty minutes, while Albert Jenkins was runner-up in the bad boy category. Bulldogs file protest in Streetsville series The Leamington Ardiel Bulldog Juveniles have filed a double-barrel protest after a pair of weekend defeats in Streetsville placed them on the brink of elimination in the Ontario Juvenile A finals. Leamington coach Cliff Quick confirmed Monday, that the locals were protesting both games. The Bulldogs lost 5-3 on Saturday and 8-5 on Sunday up there. Streetsville now leads the bestof-seven series 3-1, with game five and six back in Leamington this weekend. At issue was the use of a suspended player in Saturday’s game, and a penalty stacking error in game two which allowed Streetsville to score a powerplay goal. John Bernhardt, Howard Forsyth and Steve Lewis scored the Leamington goals on Saturday. In Sunday’s game, the locals got two goals from Phil Wiper and singles from Manny Silva, Richard Kos and Mark Ribble. Fight mars Rotary title win A donnybrook at game’s end marred a 4-3 overtime win by Rotary over Buckingham Realty in the Midget division championship game on Saturday night. The melee broke out after Dean DeWaele shovelled the puck under Kelly Russelo in the Buckingham net at the four minute mark of the first overtime. It was Dewaele’s second goal of the game. Referees assessed misconduct penalties to Brian Collison and Ron Webster of Buckingham and Victor Eid of Rotary. Brian Pearce was tagged with a match penalty. Lorenzo Vernaroli and Manuel Festa scored the other goals for the champs.

Sweet repeat for Flyers in 2014-15 By C. Scott Holland After winning the West playoff crown in 2013-14, the Flyers turned around and won again the following year by rallying to overcome deficits. With first-place secured, the journey began by easily defeating the eighth-place Lambton Shores Predators, who managed to get only one goal past the Flyers’ netminding duo of Trevor Wheaton and Michael Barrett. That lone tally came late in the third period of the second contest. Th Flyers blanked the Preds three times — 3-0, 5-0 and 8-0. The highlight of that first series came in a penalty-riddled third contest when a large brawl erupted. The second round was versus a perennial opponent — the London Nationals. The strengths of each were evident, but the Flyers prevailed by winning the series 4-2. The Flyers went down 2-0 in the first game but fought back and sent the game to OT but in the second extra frame London’s Tanner Ferreira ended it at 3:27. At London for game two, they would get blanked as Justin Tugwell halted 43 Flyers’ attempts. A close 2-1 win at home was a thriller and Mitch Amante, who opened the scoring, was given a penalty shot late in the third but his shot was stopped. In the next game, the Flyers shutout the Nats 2-0. Michael Barrett got the shutout. Game five had 1,100
fans present and the Flyers Matthew Opblinger tabbed a shorthanded tally to win it 5-4. Up 3-2 in the series, the Flyers closed it out by downing the Nats 5-2 as Tyler Duarte notched a hattrick. One London player was handed a match penalty for attempting to injure a Flyer. A dream match-up followed for the finals as the Flyers would face the LaSalle Vipers. Over 1,500 fans were at the opener and watched the Flyers double the Vipers 6-3. In game two, Eric Henderson shone by scooping two goals to pace the 3-2 victory. Back at home for game three, the home team would fall behind early but fought their way back to knot the game as Colin Moore notched the tying goal at 4:10 of the third. However Brett Langlois would score at 9:10 of OT and the Flyers suffered a 3-2 loss. Mitch Amante led the team to a 3-1 victory but in game four the Flyers fell behind early and never recovered. Amante tabbed the lone Flyers’ goal. In the critical game six, the two teams were tied 1-1 at the end of 20 minutes but Cale Phibbs and Matthew Opblinger thrust the Flyers into a 3-1 lead. Nathan Savage would put the heat on with a powerplay tally and the Vipers’ Conor Rosassen had a glorious chance to even the score on a penalty shot at 5:05 of the third.
However, Rosassen’s attempt was halted by Trevor Wheaton, who stopped 25 shots for a 3-2 victory and allowed Leamington to claim their second Bill Weir Cup. Members of the team were Trevor Wheaton, Michael Barrett, J. P. Grineau, Ryan Muzzin, Blaine Bechard, Jacob McGhee, Tyler Du-
arte, Ryan Shipley, Cale Allen, Cale Phibbs, Eric Henderson, Colin Moore, Matthew Opblinger, Zach Guilbeault, Mitch Amante, Alex Friessen, Chris Scott, Kyle Perkowski, Thomas Virban, Zac Parlette, Joe Ogden, Kyle Quick, plus APs Travis Campbell, Mitchell Crevatin and Alex Derksen.
Among the staff were GM Mike Sadler, assistant GM Kevin Hopper, head coach Tony Piroski, assistant coaches Lee Jones, Jamie McDerott, Anthony Iaquinta, Branden Robitaille, Ron Soucie, trainer: Dr. Steve O’Neil, and equipment managers Ryan Sellon and John Forbes.

Front wheel drive in 1936 Cord The photo was taken in 1944. The young man behind the wheel was Brian Brady, a 19-year-old student at Northern Vocational School in Toronto. He was the proud owner of a 1936 Cord convertible featuring front-wheeldrive and disappearing headlights. The car was black with red leather upholstery. And you could see this car coming from a mile away with its horizontal grille bars sweeping all the way back to the front-opening doors. When Brian drove it to school, his teacher looked out the window and saw him parking the car at the curb, then muttered something about the spoiled youth of the
THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE
diana. The front-wheeldrive was decades ahead of its time. The Cord also had an electric device on the steering column for shifting gears. And the disappearing headlights could be opened up with a hand crank on either
Bill Sherk day. The teacher’s car was a 1931 Chevrolet convertible, no comparison to the one you see here. The teacher did not realize that Brian Brady had bought and sold half a dozen 1936 Ford convertibles in his spare time to have the money to buy the Cord. Brian saw an ad in the paper and snapped it up for $900 with some money thrown in by his friend Jim Featherstone. Brian drove it all sum-
mer at the family cottage near Meaford, Ontario, and sold it in the fall. But he bought several more Cords and restored one to perfection, winning “Best of Show” in Auburn, Indiana, in 1963 with a car almost identical to this one. The Cord with this styling was built only two years, 1936 and 1937, by the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company of Auburn, In-
side of the dash. The super-charged version had exhaust pipes coming out of the sides of the hood, boosting the horsepower from 125 to 190! The Cord created a sensation when it came out but the impact of the
Great Depression put the company out of business. Restored examples are highly prized today. I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.
