KINGSVILLE — Christmas lights and car lights lined the streets of Kingsville Saturday evening for this year’s Reverse Santa Claus parade. The mild temperatures made for a perfect evening drive and several hundred cars were lined up at the ready by 5:30 p.m. at Migration Hall parking lot and over flowing down several streets, causing some congestion coming into town. Many families waited patiently for their turn to drive by the entries lining Main St. and Division towards Lakeside Park. The parade of cars continued right

Leamington’s Christmas Parade Saturday at Point Pelee By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Santa and the Missus are all set to greet visitors at this year’s Leamington District Chamber of Commerce Reverse Christmas Parade. Organizers put the final touches on plans for the drive-thru style at Monday’s final planning meeting, where logistics, electrical, communications and route planning were high on the list of priorities. Point Pelee National Park is hosting the parade for the first time. Chamber General Manager Wendy Parsons is feeling good about this year’s parade, despite the obvious restrictions. “We think people will love it,” she says. “This year’s edition will have 30 entries, so those who come out will have lots to see.” She’s asking the viewing public to be patient, however. “We will do our best to keep things moving,” she said. “We ask that people plan for a bit of a wait, but once we get started, things should move right along.” The parade route will take visitors inside the park gates, where they’ll see their first parade entries at the park orientation lot. This is where you’ll drop your letters to Santa, Toys for Tots and any canned good donations. “Canada Post, Toys for Tots and Salvation Army will all be set up there,” said Parsons. From there, the spectators will continue down to Northwest Beach, where they will get to see a number of big entries, then view several more entries on their way to the Park Visitor Centre,

where traffic will then turn around and entry into the park, the traffic flow asking that you take any garbage from head north.

Caldwell First Nation granted Reserve Status By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — A celebratory mood was evident at the Caldwell First Nation Headquarters on Monday, November 23, as an historic announcement was made. Caldwell First Nation Director of Operations, Nikki Van Oirschot, announced that Caldwell First Nation has been granted Reserve Status. With emotion in her voice, Van Oirschot outlined the history of the Caldwells in the Leamington and Point Pelee area. “In 1790, a large tract of land on the north shore

of Lake Erie was surrendered to the Crown,” she said. “Caldwell First Nation never signed this treaty, nor did they benefit from it.” A second land claim stemmed from the Caldwells’ role as an ally to the British in the War of 1812. This is where they fought alongside Captain William Caldwell and became known as ‘Caldwell’s Band of Indians’, which eventually became Caldwell First Nation. The Caldwells were promised retention of their lands on Point Pelee , but were instead chased out of Pelee from

their burning homes by the RCMP in the 1920s. In 2010, the Caldwells won an historic land claim settlement in this area and received $105 million to establish a reserve. They’ve since purchased about 200 acres at the corner of Bevel Line and Seacliff Drive in Leamington. The Reserve process started nine years ago and they received a letter this past week from the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Affairs, which granted the status after 230 years. “Creating a land base

for Caldwell First Nation is an important step in the history of Canada. Today we are able to right a historical wrong, advance reconciliation, and support the treaty relationship with Caldwell First Nation. These lands will benefit your citizens and help you realize your vision for housing and economic development,” stated the letter from Bennett. Councillor Robyn Perkins spoke briefly and shared Van Oirschot’s

emotion. “Thanks to a legacy of of strong, determined and resilient ancestors, we have reclaimed a tract of Reserve land,” said Perkins. “I, for one, am exceedingly proud to have a legacy of such strong and resilient people and I honour them today.” “We are still here, and we are still strong,” she added. “This was no small feat,” added Councillor Steve Simpson, “Caldwell First Nation is proud

of the hard work, dedication, patience, and perseverance that it took to get us to this milestone.” It was evident among those present, that they also credited previous chiefs and councils for the work they put in to get them this far. A small celebration was held, COVID-style, as drummers, singers and dancers celebrated the announcement. A larger celebration is planned in 2021.

Sure she went through the ceramics phase where she made numerous ceramic Christmas trees that plugged in and lit up. Before that it was the gold spray painted macaroni trees.

Letter to the Editor

Writer cites 1978 study as beginning of LTC breakdown Dear Editor: This is a season of growing excitement for most Canadians. A pandemic can’t stop carols in the air, gift lists and twinkling decorations. But for far too many, it’s another season of worry. The homeless are facing bone-chilling cold. For jobless and those who flirt with or live in poverty, how do they keep the family warm and fed? And for many thousands of aged people, jammed into close quarters in longterm care, a new fear that they will be the next victim. This is the reality for millions of Canadians. On the good side, every year, armies of volunteers and donors come forward for organizations like Salvation Army and Downtown Mission, to selflessly address the need where they can. On the dark side, is that these conditions exist in a prosperous nation envied for the endless wealth of its resources. The answer is a government heavily

skewed to make the rich richer. For half a century, Ottawa has employed, at vast public expense, batteries of lawyers and accountants, negotiating international treaties to make corporations more profitable on the global stage. But never in all that time, have they found the interest to ensure Canada’s long-term care facilities were sufficient or safe. For this wealthiest of nations, how can this be? The event to explain this has a date: May 26, 1978. Following WWII, the GATT organization (today WTO) was set up by the world’s wealthiest few to secure the western world’s prosperity for their own enrichment. It selected and promoted leaders for 10 countries — including Canada — leaders who would advance its agenda. In response to the start in 1973 of Ottawa’s negotiations to remove Canada’s import tariffs, Ontario’s Ministry of

Trade produced a study. It determined that there would be a loss of 350,000 Ontario jobs to lower wage countries, beginning with USA. Perversely, Premier Davis sealed the report. Leaked to the opposition, on May 26 1978, NDP leader Cassidy asked in parliament, “Why is it necessary to keep confidential that document which contains information of enormous importance to communities, workers and businesses across the province?” Trade Minister John Rhodes confirmed the study, and agreed with Mr. Cassidy’s concerns. But Davis continued the blackout requested by Ottawa. What a blockbuster when this leaked study hit the news. The uproar from workers already suspicious of tariff cuts. But from the national media, there was only silence. The handful of super wealthy media moguls who decide what news Canadians get, joined Premier Davis and the political parties to

keep Canadians well in the dark. WTO’s agenda plowed on. Tariffs disappeared, allowing corporations to dispose of Canadian workers for lower US wages, (CANUSA) and the real winner, Mexico (NAFTA.) Canada went on to see hundreds of factories close, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, millions pushed toward poverty . This wealthy nation now depends on other countries’ production just in order to function. In half a century, it’s taken a deadly pandemic for a Prime Minister to finally turn his attention to all Canadians. A ruling class steeped in luxury and influence, indifferent to millions of Canadians homeless, impoverished, or aged in unsafe long-term care. All this is a flashing alarm that our democracy is broken. We just didn’t see it. Don Waffle, Leamington

Erie Shores HealthCare tightens visitor restrictions under Orange level status LEAMINGTON — Nearly nine months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Erie Shores HealthCare remains in the forefront in the battle against the virus, but they are facing the new challenge of the Second Wave of COVID-19 hitting locally. “ESHC has been at the forefront providing oversight and support in several areas over the past two weeks, including Long Term Care and Retirement Homes, the Agri Sector and in congregate settings,” said ESHC Director of Communications and Public Relations, Arms Bumanlag. “In addition, ESHC has been involved in many regional and provincial tables in the planning for Wave 2.” This past weekend, the hospital experienced an increase in the number of individuals presenting to the Emergency Room

and COVID Assessment Centre with symptoms of COVID-19, which in turn has resulted in admissions to hospital and capacity challenges. As of this past Monday, with the Windsor-Essex region being moved into Orange Level status, ESHC has had to make some adjustments in visitor policies. All surgeries and diagnostic imaging will continue as planned at this time. As for visitors, there is a new tiered approach to the visitor policy now in place, which will be adjusted according to the colour level the region is currently under. There will be one designated essential visitor under Orange status, who may visit during a designated time slot each day. Those times slots include 10 am to 12 noon, 2 pm to 4 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm.

For spiritual care, in the ER, visitors will be allowed for trauma or palliative care only. Inpatient visits within the chapel can be arranged, but must occur within the three visitor time slots. Staff counselling is available as requested, within the chapel. Non-essential workers will be asked to work from home wherever possible. As for internal practices, Plexiglas dividers will be set up in the cafeteria and any lunchrooms that remain open. All office workers will have their office doors closed with signage indicating that they are in and to please knock. There will be no in-person meetings. Updates will be made on Erie Shores HealthCare’s multiple social media platforms.

Erie Shores HealthCare named top performing hospital for cancer surgery wait times

LEAMINGTON — Erie Shores HealthCare, in partnership with the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre, is being recognized for being among the top-performing and most improved cancer programs in the province, by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) in the annual Performance Award recognitions. “This award is strong recognition of the importance we see in providing the people of our community with prompt access to care when they need it most,” said Dr. Ross Moncur, Chief of Staff. “Nothing can be more intimidating than receiving a possible diagnosis of cancer and then being made to wait, and our surgeons do their best to minimize this struggle whenever possible.” ESHC’s award is for the performance indicator ‘Cancer Surgery Referral to Consult’ - Percentage of patients seen

within target for all priority categories for the 2019/20 year, and for exceeding the provincial annual improvement target. “The ESHC perioperative teams, physicians and regional partners have worked very hard to make these improvements,” says Suzanne Webster, Operations Manager for Perioperative Services and Diagnostic Imaging. “The result is better, faster service, closer to home for those patients in the Erie Shores area.” Ontario Health (Can-

cer Care Ontario) assesses Regional Cancer Programs using both regional and facility-level data to monitor progress towards 10 performance indicators and recognize top performers. These indicators encompass topics such as symptom screening, wait times, and cancer screening rates, along with other high-priority quality and access metrics. The annual ESC RCP Summit Awards is taking place on Monday December 7 and is being held virtually this year due to COVID-19.

The Gift brings much needed donations across Chatham-Kent WHEATLEY — Volunteers were out in full force on Saturday, November 21 to help with ‘The Gift’, a special collection of gifts and donations across Chatham-Kent. The Gift was fashioned much the same as this past summer’s May 16 Miracle, in that volunteers would go doorstep-to-doorstep and collect donations from every residence across the region who could afford to do so.

In Wheatley, volunteers filled the streets and then filled the gymnasium at the Wheatley Baptist Church. The main organizer of The Gift was Brent Wilken, who was also involved in the planning and execution of the May 16 Miracle. The donations of food and toys will be organized for distribution through the various involved groups that run Christmas campaigns.

Dougie and Everly Howe wait patiently for their gift to be picked up.

Letter to the Editor

Writer calls out Chatham-Kent on arena issue

Dear Editor: The Chatham-Kent arena issue may be more critical than what municipal administration may understand. With or without amalgamation, Chatham-Kent is a rural-urban setting, affording us opportunity to attract senior and young families with the two areas of a living environment — the City of Chatham — catering to urban tastes and our bordering communities catering to rural tastes. Roughly half of our revenue is generated from rural CK. It’s a balancing act. CK must invoke the rule of ‘effective marketing’ — identifying the potential market of senior and younger families, and then affordably creating the environment to best attract them to CK. We cannot do that without fully structured rural communities. We are only losing a combined cost of about $23,000 per month for all 10 arenas, representing only part of an amount we have calculated lost monthly by CK through its diluted level of managing. Remember

— our arenas were built to compliment growth — not to make a profit. An urban- rural area can be a marketable goldmine by maximizing investment revenues by securing a full diverse population of senior and new families, letting them choose an urban or rural setting, rather than just one or the other. You can’t tell people where they want to live. It is imperative we maintain an effective rural community infrastructure, having libraries, arenas, education, entertainment, shopping, retail, commercial and industrial in the same fashion the City of Chatham continues to do. Senior and young family investment is worth an average of about $725,000 per family. Four new investment families alone would pay our annual 10- arena operating deficit. In 2018, a leak-proof proposal was provided to CK municipality for the sole purpose of re-balancing CK’s urban-rural investment by maintaining hard and soft-core infrastructure by giving our ru-

ral communities equal profile and equal opportunity through the municipal web site. When presented to CK, all seemed to fall on deaf ears. It’s almost as if CK wants to abandon the rural area to make room for all the financial support to go only to the City of Chatham at the rural expense. The proposal guaranteed anyone visiting the CK web portal would automatically be introduced and welcomed to the municipality of Chatham-Kent, identifying and automatically marketing each rural community rather than just the City of Chatham. The site would automatically feature each community with a “mouse over” bringing up each rural community amenity for shopping, recreation, education, theatre, retail, commercial, investment opportunity, annual events and allowing each Chamber and BIA to piggy-back on the site to introduce their community’s attributes.

Additionally, the presentation called for CK to publish quarterly infrastructure investment so each community resident would know what’s being invested in their area. Overall, every visitor/ investor to CK’s web site would readily understand that Chatham-Kent is not just the City of Chatham, but is comprised of 23 fully equipped and serviced communities. Our experience with CK would describe them wanting at times to do things their way rather than the right way. Dismantling our rural communities would be a continuance of on-going mistakes. To obtain a courtesy copy of the rural urban marketing website proposal, please email john@municipalprojects.ca. Signed, John K. Cryderman Chatham-Kent

Town to seek public input on short-term rentals before enacting regulations on properties LEAMINGTON — At the November 20 Leamington Council meeting, council approved a motion to seek more public input on a recommendation to closer regulate short-term rentals within the municipality. Although complaints have been few, administration was recommending tighter controls on short-term rentals, such as Air BnB, Virbo and HomeAway properties. The recommendations would not include Bed and Breakfast operations, as those owners are on-site with the renters. Paul Medeiros, a local manager of short-term rental properties, was present on Zoom and argued that too much regulation could kill the short-term rent-

al business in the municipality. “This industry creates jobs and also benefits the community,” said Medeiros. “I’d hate to see it over-regulated.” Councillor Paul Tiessen felt that shortterm rentals are an important aspect to Leamington’s tourism industry. “We don’t want to over-regulate them but there needs to be some regulation,” he said. Councillor Tim Wilkinson agreed, saying that Leamington’s tourism sector needs these short-term rentals in place. “What the short-term rentals bring to the table is important to this town,” he said. After much discussion, it was decided that more public input was needed before enacting any regulations.

Administration was given instructions to begin public consultation on the

matter and report back to council.

Letter to the Editor

Thankful for poppies Dear Editor: I grew up in Detroit and spent many happy vacations in the Leamington Wheatley area. After I moved to Texas 30 years ago, I still managed to travel north to my home of heart all most every year. I receive the Southpoint Sun by e-mail each week. In seeing the poppies for Remembrance Day, I thought about how many I had bought as a child and as an adult when in Canada. Here in Texas I never see poppies.

I called your paper and talked to Lori Gouin. I asked her if there was a way to get a poppy sent to me. We had a great conversation and I received 3 poppies in the mail. I can’t wait to show them to my kids and grandkids and tell them what the poppiess stand for. Many thanks, Carol Petrus Allen, Texas

Large cannabis bust in Leamington LEAMINGTON — On November 18, 2020, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-led Provincial Joint Force Cannabis Enforcement Team (PJFCET) executed a Cannabis Act search warrant at a greenhouse operation in Leamington. PJFCET, members of the Essex County Detachment, Essex County Crime Unit, OPP Regional Community Street Crime Units (CSCU), along with members of the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau (OCEB), Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) seized just over 75,000 cannabis plants and over 5,300 pounds of processed cannabis. The total value of seized cannabis is esti-

Sports flashbacks from 40 years ago This week’s sports flashbacks are from November 1980. Flags bomb Flyers 9-4 A five-goal outburst in the second period was all the Mooretown Flags needed on route to their 9-4 drubbing of the Leamington Flyers on the weekend. Flags star Pierre Durocher led the winners with a hattrick. Tony LaFleur, Todd Hodgson, Tim Oliphant and Gary Gayer scored for Leamington. Omsteads tie two games The Wheatley Omsteads blew leads in both of their games on the weekend, settling for ties with Tilbury and Wallaceburg. The Omsteads led 3-0 in the Tilbury game, but settled for a 4-4 tie. Tim Omstead scored twice, with singles to Dave Drummond and Joe O’Rourke. The Omsteads had another two-goal lead against Wallaceburg but settled for a 7-7 tie. Jamie Stickney and Rick Robinson each scored twice for Wheatley, with singles to Drummond, Pat Hillman and Tom Howe. Raiders lose 11-2 The Leamington Rhine Danube Bantam Raiders led on two occasions, but eventually were overpowered by the Windsor Club 240 squad, dropping the decision 11-2. Steve Hyrenewich scored both of Leamington’s goals. Mullen, Roos lead senior basketball squad Mike Mullen and Al Roos scored 27 and 26 points respectively to lead the Leamington entry in the Essex County Basketball League to an 88-77 overtime victory over Can-Am Meats. The two squads had identical 3-0 records going into the contest. Can-Am took a 20-6 lead to start the game but Leamington roared back with some fine rebounding work by Bill Petryschuk. Essex drops Bulldogs 9-7 The Leamington Ardiel Bulldogs dropped a hard fought 9-7 decision to Essex in Essex County Juvenile play on Sunday at Leamington Arena. Essex broke a 7-7 tie with two goals in the final minute of play. Manny Silva led the Bulldogs on the scoreboard with two goals, while Richard Kos, Herb Bernhardt, Jay Pepper, Steve Impens and Rick Riediger fired singles. Peewees drop decision to Sandwich The Sandwich West Peewees defeated the Leamington Erie Sport Firebirds on the weekend by a 4-1 score. Greg Enns opened the scoring and sent Leamington to a 1-0 lead but the Firebirds were unable to hold on. Sandwich West outshot Leamington 35-12 and both Leamington goaltenders, Britt Walling and Steve Costello, played well in the loss.

Third period play was hotly contested in the Flyers’ 2-0 victory over the Lasalle Vipers on Sunday. Here, the Flyers defence tries to interrupt the cycle of the Vipers forwards. Sun photo

Flyers, Vipers kick off Superseries By C. Scott Holland In what has been labelled as the Essex County Super Series, the Leamington Flyers and LaSalle Vipers kicked off an eight-game series at Leamington on Sunday afternoon. The intensity and high level of competition were evident between the cross-county rivals. But one aspect was very noticeable - there were absolutely no fans present because of safety reasons related to COVID-19. Throughout the match both sides displayed their skill and the defenses and goaltending were sharp. However, Leamington’s netminding and defense was fine-tuned as they won a 2-0 thriller that went right to the game’s end.

The play was rather chippy at times and in the first period, Leamington gave LaSalle two golden opportunities to go ahead first via powerplays. But neither one generated any scoring. The Vipers gave the Flyers one chance towards the frame’s conclusion but after 20 minutes it was a scoreless draw. The Flyers drew first blood in the second, when captain Dylan Weston shoveled the puck forward to Josh Cyrenne, who went in close on Viper starter Matthew Srbocca and potted the goal at 1:57. With the Flyers’ Colton O’Brien and Vipers’ Cayden Faust both serving two minute misconducts, Weston initiated a forward pass to Cyrenne who found Thomas Michaud open

and Michaud went in alone and drilled the puck past Sbrocca at 7:52 for a 2-0 edge. It was all the Flyers would need to seal the victory although the Flyers certainly gave the Vipers a couple of chances in the final frame. At 6:34 the Vipers thought they had scored but the refs waved it off. For about two minutes in the third, Flyers goalie Chazz Nixon, who had gone in midway through the contest, left for some some equipment attention and starter Ryan Polidori was re-inserted and held the door closed to the fort. Both Polidori and Nixon combined to earn the combined shutout by making 30 saves while LaSalle’s two goalies — Sbrocca and Kyle Metson — turned aside 29.

Senior curlers advanced in 1993 By C. Scott Holland In 1993 Leamington’s Sun Parlor Curling Club was a host rink for the Ontario Curling Association’s regional competition. The skill and abilities of many teams were shown and strategy of course is an important part of compe-

GOJHL season to start Jan. 15 Editor’s Note: This press release was sent to member teams and media on November 23. CAMBRIDGE — The Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (GOJHL) has received approval from the Ontario Hockey Federation to proceed with 5-on-5 Modified Playing Rules for the 2020-2021 hockey season. Moving forward, the official start date for the season is set for January 15, 2021, dependent on regional Public Health approval. Over the past four months, the GOJHL has worked with government officials, public health units and arena facilities to ensure a safe return to play for players, staff, officials, volunteers and fans attending games. With the announcement and approval of the League’s 5-on-5 regulations for the 2020-21 season, the 24 GOJHL teams can prepare for a January 15 start date, subject to regional Public Health

guidelines and Ontario’s COVID-19 response framework. “We are grateful and excited to have received this confirmation from the OHF as we work towards getting our players back on the ice. Along with our goal of providing the best junior hockey experience in Ontario, our League is committed to ensuring a safe return to play for everyone involved,” said Mark Tuck, GOJHL Commissioner. “The GOJHL would like to thank all facilities and public health units for their cooperation and dedication towards understanding the needs of our GOJHL teams as we organize our return to play.” Official game schedules will be released pending the ever-changing scenarios evolving around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Teams will compete involving separate cohort brackets within their conferences based on a structure that will see clubs only play against

one other team during the set time frame. Teams will play in a 3-week cycle and will take a 14-day isolation break to exchange cohorts. The approved 5-on-5 game play regulations include most traditional aspects of gameplay. From an enhanced player safety perspective, the approved 5-on-5 regulations include: • Absolutely no deliberate body checking permitted. • Intentional physical contact is not permitted. • Elimination of post-whistle scrums or altercations. • Enforcement of all players wearing an approved “bubble” face mask and facial covering • Teams will follow

GOJHL Dressing Room Protocol and E-Waivers Tracing. • The number of players able to participate in a game per team will vary depending on the facility structure and Public Health Unit. The regular season, dependent on variable COVID-19 guidelines and regulations, is scheduled to conclude at the end of March 2021. While most arenas set to host GOJHL games do not permit guest attendance at this time, dedicated fans will be able to follow their favorite team on Hockey TV and through local area programming.

LEAMINGTON

By C. Scott Holland The midway point has been reached by the teams in the Leamington Sr. Men’s Hockey League and with it, only a few weeks remain. Leamington Chrysler sits atop the standing with a perfect 4-0 record while Gualtieri is in second three points behind. All teams have picked up at least one victory. In recent play, Leamington Chrysler and Gabriele’s Home & Floor played a fairly even contest but Chrysler won 6-3. In the opener Gualtieri Farms rattled Reid Funeral Home 12-5. Leamington Chrysler 5 Gabriele Home & Floor 2 The Chrysler and Gabriele’s teams battled hard throughout this match. It was only a two goal splurge just past the midway point that allowed Chrysler to edge Gabriele’s. For Gabriele’s, Dylan Impens cranked out a pair to account for the team’s goals. The Chrysler team got a pair of unanswered goals from Derrick Mastromatteo which proved to be the main difference. Andy Anthony also fired two while Derek Clark pumped one. Gualtieri Farms 12 Reid Funeral Home 5 It didn’t take long for the potent GF offense to bury the RFH squad. RFH were down 5-0 before they notched their first. By that point it was game over. The RFH squad was paced by a pair off the stick of Kevin Sawaztky while Riley Babkirk, Adam Hatt and Jordan Carnevale netted one apiece. Gualtieri’s scoring was spread out as Brett Bowman and Calyn Kir lit up the board for hattricks. Kyle Bowman, and Brett Babkirk triggered two apiece while Derrick Hutchins and Dylan Montague drilled single markers. Schedule (Nov. 30): 7 pm - Reid vs Gillett 8 pm Chrysler vs Gualtieri Week off: Gabriele.

Local racer and sponsors tasted victory in Florida in 1990-91 By C. Scott Holland For a local race car driver and two local sponsors, victory was sweet in Florida in 1991. That summer, Dan Mallat, of Tecumseh, captured a CASCAR racing title in New Smyrna, Florida. It was his second time winning at the race. Mallat drove a 1991 Thunderbird in the 25th annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing event and his victory was a repeat of what he had done in 1990. Besides the local connection of being from Essex County, Mallat’s sponsors were Leamington car dealer Kurt Gossen and Bill Gibbs of Jay B Van and Conversions. Besides his sponsorship, Gossen also served as an organizer for Mallat’s races.

1992-93 Flyers were mired in slumps, forgotten jerseys By C. Scott Holland Nearly 30 years ago, the Leamington Jr. B Flyers had hit the midway point of their season and then ran into a slew of troubles. Nothing seemed to go right for them as they began to battle for the fourth and final playoff spot. Getting things going in the right direction for the Flyers was not easy as they were on the verge of the Christmas break. They had just lost a high-scoring home game to the first-place Sarnia Bees, a powerful team that had just acquired two players from the East Division’s last-place Strathroy Blades for a rumoured $10,000. The final was 11-9 and Mike Bondy, one of those two Strathroy players involved in the trade, had amassed a five-point night vs Leamington, as

he carved out two goals and added three helpers. The next day, the Flyers made the long trek to St. Marys. Things did not get much better. After getting off the bus the players began preparing for the contest. Trainers Jeff Simpson and Nelson Rutt Jr. quickly found out that the team’s road jerseys had been left behind in Leamington. The team ended up borrowing the Lincolns’ road green jerseys for the game. During warm-ups, a young St. Marys fan asked his father, “Which ones are the real Lincolns?” It didn’t matter because the real home white Lincolns had no problems hitting players wearing their colors. Two Flyers were injured in the contest — Jeff Gates and Mike Huczel. The Flyers lost 10-1.

Austin-Healey caught in the rain People ask me where I find all the old car stories featured in my weekly column. I tell them they come from all over, including this story recently arrived from Roy Greenwood, a former student of mine at Northern Secondary School in Toronto over 40 years ago: “Hi Bill Sherk. Here is my quick little car story for you from those long ago days. I had an Austin Healey 3000, white with red interior. I say white but it was mostly rust. However, it was a convertible and it would start. “One weekend, I asked a girl from North Toronto out for a picnic. We drove up to Lake Simcoe and had a wonderful day. On the way home, it started to rain. Of course, I had not brought the top so as it rained harder and harder, we go very soaked and got a lot of stares as

1961 and I bought it, white with red interior, around ‘67/’68 for $150 (the price tells you what shape it was in). I bought it from a friend of my older sister. Ended up selling it for scrap when I

THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk we drove home. “This was the time when girls had started to go braless. I have a very clear memory of driving home in the pouring rain with windshield wipers going and her trying to hold her wet white shirt that had now become semi-transparent, off her body. “As I pulled up to her house and she jumped out to make a run for the door, I noticed that the red dye from the seats had stained her white shorts and shirt! “I never saw her again. I wonder why?” I emailed Roy for more info on the car: “The Healey was a

started university. “Lots of stories with that car. Taking the cheerleading team and a couple of friends back to Northern Secondary after a football game. Friends hanging out of the car, sitting on top of

each other, and then driving by a police officer directing traffic, thinking the worst. He just said “Be careful.” Ah, my ill-spent youth.” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca.
