Kingville’s 49th Migration Festival this weekend By Pat Bailey
New Leadership New Approach
519-326-9018
KINGSVILLE – Forget downward dog; how about graceful goose? It is a celebration of fall, the migration and the community that is home to the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary. This weekend, thousands will flock to Kingsville for the 49th Annual Migration Festival for myriad of events, including a special session of ‘Wild Goose Yoga’ at 8 a.m. Saturday at the sanctuary. But before the admission-free yoga commences, the festival will kick off with opening ceremonies Thursday, October 18, with a wine and cheese reception at the sanctuary, beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday morning the parade, featuring a theme of ‘Colours of Fall’, will wind its way down Main Street at Spruce to Division Street and south to Erie, with entertainers, floats and bands. For the first time in its history, prizes will be awarded for best commercial entry, best non-profit entry and best musical entry. This weekend promises to be a wild and wonderfully entertainment filled weekend for the entire family said Maggie Durocher, parks and recreation program manager for the town of Kingsville. “It’s truly an accessible event for all families,” said Durocher, “everything is free and open to the public.”
Immediately following the parade, the Kingsville OPP will once again host its phenomenally popular pumpkin carving on the front lawn of the detachment, free of charge. Lakeside Park will also play host to an afternoon of family friendly activities from 12:30 until 4 p.m. It will include a birds of prey show at 12:30 and 3 p.m., courtesy of the Kingsport Enironmental Birds of Prey. Sarah Parks will offer pony rides from 12:30 until 3:30 p.m.; Mad Sciences shows will take place at 2 and 4 p.m.; the Scouts will host a barbecue from noon until 4 p.m.; Sailor Sue will be offering face painting from 12:30 until 2:30 p.m.; Brad Toulouse will host a magic show from 2:45 until 3:45 p.m.; Zoo to You will be on hand from noon until 2 p.m.; Jangles the Clown will entertain from 1 unti 3 p.m.; and the youngsters will be transformed back in time with the medieval village from noon until 4 p.m In addition, the arena will host a marketplace on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There is no admission fee, but organizers are (Continued on Page A-3)

LEAMINGTON – Students at Leamington District Secondary School are trying to highlight the fact that municipal council choices aren’t the only votes that matter. A team of mostly Grade 10 students from LDSS involved in the school’s Youth In Politics program is hosting a Lambton-Kent District School Board Leamington-Pelee Island region trustee candidates meeting Thursday, Oct. 18. The event is open to the public and will begin at 6 p.m. in either the school’s library or atrium. Grade 10 student Ewan Wilson and Grade 11 cohort Mohamad Mohamad will co-emcee the event, to feature appearances by local LKDSB trustee candidates Aimee Omstead and Rae-Anne Scratch. The committee of organizers also includes Heidi Bartsch, Reynaldo de Guzman, Eh Po Paw, Isabel Unger and Samantha Wall, each of whom is undertaking duties ranging from the meeting’s promotion to ushering, welcoming and security for the actual event. The meeting will also be conducted by LDSS principal Kyle Berard and teachers Butch Rickeard and Cheryl Clemens. Preparation for the trustee candidates’ meeting began in mid August, when a group of about a dozen IB (International Baccalaureate) prep and English as a Second Language students from LDSS attended a training program sponsored by York University and hosted by the University of Windsor. “We want The multi-session event, also attended by high school students, parents students from Windsor-area high schools, featured nuand community merous speakers discussing strategies in various ways leaders to ask as to get involved with home communities at various many questions levels.

The YIP group at LDSS has spent the past few days and weeks promoting the trustee candidates’ meeting through social media outlets, the LDSS website and creating flyers to distribute among local feeder schools that are in turn being sent home by elementary school students to their parents and caregivers. “It’s really important that we get the word out,� explained Wilson, who along with fellow YIP students, also played a role in the LDSS citizenship ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 11. “We want students, parents and community leaders to ask as many questions as possible.� During the meeting, the school’s hospital department will be offering refreshments. If more than 70 visitors attend, the venue will be held in the LDSS atrium instead of it’s library. “We’d like to have at least 60 people come out, but if we could get more, that would be perfect,� Wilson added.

Citizenship ceremony By Pat Bailey
LEAMINGTON – It was a day they will never forget. It was a day that had been a long time coming for Francisco Urbina Ruiz and Rami Zbib. They had been at Leamington Dsitrict Secondary School many times before, but on Thursday, they walked in as citizens of Mexico and Lebanon and walked out as Canadian citizens. The two LDSS staff members, Ruiz as a child and youth work and Zbib a Settlement Worker in Schools (SWIS), took their oath of Canadian citizenship before an appreciative group of LDSS students, their co-workers and alongside 36 others, one only four years old, representing 16 different countries in the LDSS gymnasium on Thursday. Ruiz, who’s been in Canada for 11 years said the time was just right to truly become a member of the community. His motivation, he said, was to be a role model to the diverse student population. For Zbib, who settled in Canada nearly five years ago, it was a decision he made a long time ago. “I’m ecstatic,” he said following the ceremony, officiated by Rob Bruce, the presiding citizenship official. Waving a Canadian flag, with the new citizenship documents in hand, Ruiz said he was feeling ‘super blessed’. But it was Mohamad Mohamad who lit up the room with his smile. The student leader of the English as a Second Language program addressed the group, calling himself a ‘future Canadian’. While only in this country for about a year, LDSS principal Kyle Berard said Mohamad has become a real leader within the school. In addition to taking the oath of citizenship, the new Canadians were presented with Canadian flags, and given many new rights and freedoms according to Bruce. Bruce acknowledged the long journey to citizenship and applauded them on their decision to become Canadians.

Candidate for Mayor
MARIJUANA REFERENDUM REQUIRED I have had many pot conversations during the course of my campaign. Many citizens have voiced concerns their city will be inundated with marijuana grow farms and their neighbourhood will become overwhelmed with aroma and criminal elements. It seems the legalization of marijuana may not necessarily reflect the views of the majority of Leamington’s citizens. Leamington’s big business must not negatively affect the quality of life of it’s citizens. If elected mayor I pledge a marijuana referendum. The results will lead the direction of marijuana growth and distribution. Leamington’s citizens have the right to decide for themselves.

But he told them that being a Canadian means much more than the piece paper it was written on. He said it comes with a whole new set of values, rights, responsibilities and freedoms. He also encouraged them to volunteer within their new communities and become involved in all aspects of the community. Ruiz and Zbib received an ovation after receiving their citizenship papers and Canadian flags, as two of Canada’s newest citizens. Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
RIB’S RAMBLINGS
Today’s the day that stoners rejoice. Mark Ribble After much build up and anticipation, Trudeau’s legalization of recreational marijuana is nearly complete. I say almost, because there are still a lot of hurdles to clear and hoops to jump through. One by one, those issues will be weeded out but for a little while longer, there are at least a lot of questions to be answered. The announcement was made a couple of years ago and you’d have thought they had plenty of time to iron out the rolling papers, but they haven’t. To be blunt, they’ve zigged and zagged their way to dazed confusion and left a lot of people wondering what will happen next. I’d venture to say several ‘spliffy’ greenhouses in this area have been growing the reefer for sometime now, as indicated by the odour at certain intersections. Back in the Acapulco Gold days, when I was a teenager, I attended parties where the green stuff was being passed around and, although I didn’t puff-puff-pass, I remember the smell as being somewhere between pine cones and grass clippings. Now all I smell is skunk. So Mary Jane has definitely changed her perfume over
the past 40 years or so. I’ve never tried the stuff but have friends who are regular tokers and it really doesn’t bother me as long as I don’t have to smell it. Time will tell if you’re now going to smell it everywhere or if nothing will really change. I have a feeling that, initially, people will be partaking on the sidewalk simply because they can. But I think that will wear off and things will go back to normal at some point. A lot of local people have bought shares in the marijuana industry, and I hear some of them have struck it rich, which can only be good news. I’m not an investor but I think I’d be more inclined to invest in Hostess or Frito Lay and wait for the munchies to drive the market upward. Even a small portion of shares in Dominos or Little Caesars might bring a fair return. Recently a group of residents in Kingsville successfully lobbied the council to turn down a zoning change to allow a marijuana operation on Rd. 2 near the Kingsville Arena. Leamington and Wheatley residents had no such recourse, even if they’d wanted it. Social Media accounts lit up with the news that the Kingsville Group was gathering steam ahead of the council meeting. The comments were entertaining to say the least and they ranged from people who were appalled by the smell to those who say there is no smell. The truth lies somewhere in the
middle. I’ll leave it for the experts to hash out. I’m sure there at least 420 different opinions on the matter. If you live in Leamington and you say you’ve never smelled it, you need to go to an ear, nose and throat doctor and get checked out. However, as stated in some of the Facebook comments, is it really that much different than the mushroom farms or pollution plant on certain days? So I remain firmly atop the fence when it comes to legalizing the devil’s grass. I believe you can be as impaired by weed as you can by alcohol and I think it can be addictive just like anything else you might put in your body that doesn’t belong there. (Not unlike donuts for me). I also believe a lot of what is being said about pain relief and seizure control. It does help people. I’ve seen it myself. I have doubts when I see articles about it being touted as a cure for cancer because I think that anything you smoke cannot be good for your lungs, so smoking weed instead of cigarettes is not a step in a better direction, in my opinion. Using edibles or oils might very well be the answer for those with health issues. Whatever the purpose, we are in a new era, much like the days when alcohol prohibition was lifted. Time will tell if it was a positive decision or if society will go up in smoke. The fact is, it’s been around forever, likely longer than tobacco smoking. It’s not going anywhere, so us non-users might as well get used to it.
First Plymouth hardtop arrived in 1951 In 1949, the new hardtop style arrived with Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Buick, giving you the openness of a convertible with the snug feel of a steel roof. GM added Chevrolet in 1950 with its first hardtop, the Bel Air. Ford and Plymouth could not ignore this new styling sensation and brought out hardtops of their own the following year with the 1951 Ford Victoria and the 1951 Plymouth Belvedere in the Cranbrook series. Wayne and Linda Bennett of Kingsville are the proud owners of an immaculate 1951 Plymouth hardtop purchased in 2017. Their Plymouth was built in the Chrysler plant (now gone) in Evansville, Indiana, and was delivered to a Plymouth dealer in Terre Haute, Indiana. Seven years ago, the car was imported into Canada and it needed work. By the time it was advertised on Kijiji last year, it was fully restored to original condition. Wayne had good reason for buying it. He began working for Chrysler in Windsor in April 1965 and remained with the company for 30 years until he retired in 1995. When he decided to purchase a collector car a year ago,

battery, a new water pump, and a new spare tire. The original AM radio still works and the car has a heater. And 1951 was the first year for electric windshield wipers. On a recent 85 mile trip, Wayne cruised between Bill Sherk 50-55 mph and calculated his fuel consumption at a very attractive 22 miles per gallon, thanks to the tried-and-true flathead six with 217.8 cubic inches and 97 horsepower. The wrap-around rear window on the hardtop is actually three pieces of glass separated by two chrome strips. Up front is a 2-piece V-shaped windshield. When his youngest grandson asked if the car had air conditioning, Wayne proudly used the inside handle to open the cowl vent in front of the windshield – just a little at first for low, then all the way open for high!

SWO Gleaners Wins Leamington and Mersea Historical Society Award By C. Scott Holland
LEAMINGTON – The Leamington and Mersea Historical Society has announced that the winner of the 2018 Heritage Award Group or Organization is the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners. The local organization has the single purpose of addressing world hunger in an innovative manner and has the mantra “We feed the hungry.” The local charity transforms “leftovers’ into a “feast”. The group turns nonmarketable vegetables which would otherwise be discarded into a dry soup mix, which is then given away free. It is an example of good stewardship, community engagement and social justice and is based upon the Biblical concept of gleaning whereby excess crops are dispersed to the needy. The local entity not only shares with Essex County, but has expanded to send their finished products to many countries world-wide. The group was formed in November 2011 at Colasanti’s when several likeminded individuals were drawn together via the leadership of Tina Quiring and Svetlana Palanacki to form a “food rescue” initiative. At the 2011 Essex County Growers show
they procured a booth and pitched their idea. They received exposure and recognition plus community awareness. Among the people helping them get the venture going were lawyer Peter Neufeld and real estate agent Ron Derksen. By the spring of 2013 they had enough funds to lease a facility and purchase some equipment. They made a vacant fish products place on Industrial Drive their base of operations and by June of that year they had transformed it to suit their needs. Via the dedication of volunteers and the aid of many local businesses, early problems and logistics in starting up were overcome. The grand opening occurred on August 10, 2013. The group found out quickly that costs can run high. When faced with the cost of some better equipment, they were suddenly looking at a sum of over $150,000. Fortunately, Kingsville Pastor Tom Harmon introduced a philanthropist who, in turn, aided in acquiring the machinery. The end product is a three-pound bag of soup mix with a shelf life of two years, which is light weight and easily transported. It is sent to charities, missions, schools, food banks, First Nations and impoverished countries. In 2016 their group of volunteers from
local churches, schools, service clubs and students, created two million servings of soup and apple chips. The Gleaners’ plant runs from Monday to Friday year round with about 20 volunteers manning each four-hour shift and new, volunteer recruits are given training, plus work clothes. They are financially solvent despite deriving support from the community. They have two paid employees, pay the facility’s rent, taxes, insurance and buy packaging, etc. and have fed the hungry for the last five years! It is quite an accomplishment and one that puts a positive spotlight on the Leamington community. Other winners of this year’s Heritage Awards are: the Oronio (Henry) Iacobelli family, the late Lynn Foster and Reg Mulholland. The Leamington and Mersea Historical Society will hold their 21st annual Heritage Awards banquet at the Roma Club on Fri., Nov. 2, doors open at 6 pm with meal at 7 pm. Tickets ($35 per person) for the event can be purchased by contacting Paul Bunnett-Jones at pbunnettjones@cogeco.ca or 519-322-6340.

By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Having recently witnessed how a fire can start even under the most unlikely circumstances, Leamington Fire Services has again set out to educate the public. In the midst of Fire Prevention Month, LFS was called to a residential fire Wednesday, Oct. 10 that broke out while the home was unoccupied. After extinguishing the blaze, it was determined that an item from a collection of pots and pans above the kitchen stove had fallen and struck a dial for one of the burners. The stovetop burner had been knocked to its highest setting, eventually heating the element until it ignited items within close proximity to the stove. An occupant of the home returned at roughly 3 p.m. and immediately noticed smoke and the sound of triggered smoke detectors. About a dozen LFS firefighters and four trucks arrived at the scene and had to tear up a section of kitchen counters, drywall and remove the stove to ensure the fire had been completely doused. There were no injuries caused by the incident, although the kitchen sustained an estimated $15,000 in damage. “Whatever could burn started on fire,” explained LFS deputy chief Mike Ciacelli, who noted that firefighters were greeted by thick, black smoke upon their arrival. “We always stress the importance of having no clutter around the

Leamington Fire Services arrived at the scene of a Mersea Road 1 residence on the afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 10 after receiving a call regarding a fire that had broken out in the home’s kitchen. There were no injuries resulting from the fire, although an estimated $15,000 in damage was caused by the flames and smoke. Leamington Fire Services will again recognize October as Fire Prevention Month with a poster contest for local schools to be concluded Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School auditorium.
stove. Keeping a tidy kitchen is important for safety’s sake and any electrical device not being used should be unplugged.” “The new technology in smoke alarms is getting better every year.” — Mike Ciacelli
What was once Fire Prevention Week was traditionally held during the sevenday stretch that included October 8 — the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that displaced 100,000 of the city’s residents. Since then, the yearly awareness and education campaign has expanded to include the entire month of October. Locally, Leaming-
ton Fire Services marks the month with a Poster Contest gathering where winners of different categories from local schools are announced and the average of 120 guests hear a fire safety talk from an LFS representative. This year, the Poster Contest event will be hosted by Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School in its auditorium Wednesday, Oct. 24. Previously, the event was conducted as part of the annual Trade Show hosted by the LFS, but that event is being scaled back to what is potentially a biannual basis. On Saturday, Oct. 20, Ciacelli will tend to a display at Leamington’s Rona store to answer questions on smoke alarms and CO2 detectors from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There, Ciacilli will be promoting one of the newest developments in household fire detection devices,

known as wireless interconnected smoke alarms. The standard-sized, wireless devices utilize technology that allows them to trigger smoke alarms on other levels of a residential structure and also contain carbon monoxide detectors. Wireless interconnected smoke alarms can be battery operated or incorporated into hardwired systems — with battery back-up — that were frequently built into homes in the 1980s. The new systems feature built in batteries that operate for their entire 10-year lifespans, which Ciacilli described as convenient for homes with high, difficult to access ceilings.

Cardinal Carter honours Day of the Girl By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – “Girl Power” took on a whole new meaning at a local high school last week. Representatives of Unifor Local 195, 200, 240, 444 and 2458 Women’s Committee paid a visit to Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School Thursday, Oct. 11 — International Day of the Girl. Terry Weymouth spoke to an auditorium full of students and staff on behalf of the Unifor groups, which provided each member of the audience with a free bandana. The full house of students heard a number of surprising and alarming statistics on the lack of equality and opportunity young women around the world are subject to, as Weymouth noted that 31 million primary-age girls around the globe are not granted access to an education. She also explained that girls are three times more likely than boys to be malnourished and that in Canada, for every 87 cents a woman makes in the workforce, men make an even $1.00. “Girls are subject to higher rates of violence, poverty and discrimination than boys,” Weymouth said. “It doesn’t matter where you are in the world — even Canada.” An electrician for the past 25 years, Weymouth stressed the importance of supporting girls’ rights for equality through awareness, speaking up when discrimination is seen, kindness and for boys, to be allies for their female * FOR cohorts. She also brought to light the absence of women APR in skilled trades, a division of the workforce that includes 402 specific job types in Canada and 156 in Ontario. Of the number of people employed in skilled trades, she explained, only four per cent are women. “We need equal opportunity and equal education, Weymouth said. “It’s not enough for skilled trades to only be something passed down from father to son.

Mary Poppins Jr. at Migration Hall
that are doubled: Gracyn Will and Blain Dutot (Oct 19, 21 and 27) and Emelia Santos and Michael Gerenda (Oct 20, 26 and 28). She said all four of these kids, ages 8-10, have done an exceptional job, with quite possibly the largest roles in the play. She said they have learned choreography, songs, dialogue and dialect and each give their own individual portrayal of the Banks’ children. George and Winifred Banks, played by Dominik Jezierski and Siena Pacheco, take these characters on the journey with the skill of seasoned actors, said Allen Santos. “I believe the audience should expect to be entertained from start to finish,” said Allen Santos. “The set design is something new for Migration Hall, designed and executed by Phil McLeod and Lorraine Steele of Sho Art, Spirit and Performance, and will give the illusion of a storybook.” “ People should come see it, not only because it is Mary Poppins,” said Allen Santos, “ but to experience the hard work and dedication of these amazingly talented kids, and to escape reality--even for just an hour and a half.” “After all, ‘when you take a walk with Mary, you go to places you’ve never dreamed of,” she added. Mary Poppins Jr. opens this Friday, October 19 at 7 p.m. and runs until the 28. Oct 19, 20, 26, 27 at 7 p.m. and Oct
By Pat Bailey
KINGSVILLE – This weekend’s opening of Mary Poppins Jr. in Kingsville’s Migration Hall is expected to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It is Migration Hall’s first foray into the world of children’s theatre in several years, but director Stephanie Allen Santos said it was a recent experience with Leamington’a Little Tomato Children’s Theatre that convinced her it was time to give local youngsters another chance to take the stage locally. As director of Little Tomato’s Little Mermaid Jr., Allen Santos said it was truly a positive experience for the kids, the parents, the artistic team and the company. “The Little Mermaid Jr. was my first experience directing an entire youth cast,” said Allen Santos, “and working with the kids, seeing how they learn and grow, and their faces when the audiences reacted the way they did was something I couldn’t have expected.” “It was so fulfilling,” she added, “and both Becca Silvius, my choreographer, and really my partner, knew we wanted to do it again on an even larger scale.” An admitted fan of Mary Poppins, Allen Santos, calling it one of her all-time favourite musicals said, “The possibility of being able to produce it in Kingsville and direct it with such an amazing and talented team was inspiring.” She said the play includes a cast of 60 youngsters, aged seven to 18, from Kingsville, Leamington, Wheatley, LaSalle, Essex and Windsor. Allen Santos is passionate about the theatre and said the play will give youngsters, who don’t necessarily enjoy sports, an opportunity to showcase their talents on stage. “Although a good number of kids play sports,” said Allen Santos, “there are some that would prefer to be in the arts.” Following her work with Little Tomato Children’s Theatre, Allen Santos felt quite strongly that youngsters in the county have additional opportunities to perform. Allen Santos said the play is based on the P.L Travers book and the Cameron MacIntosh and Disney production. She said the play takes the audience into the story of the Banks family at 17 Cherry Tree Lane, London in 1910.
Southpoint Sun - A-9
Lead actors in this week’s performance of Mary Poppins Jr. are, back Emily LeClaire, 16, of Kingsville plays Mary Poppins and Jude Mercer, 15, of Leamington is Bert. Front row, Emelia Santos, 10, of Kingsville portrays Jane Banks, with Michael Gerenda, 9, of Leamington playing her brother Michael.
Allen Santos said with a little manipulation and magic, Mary Poppins arrives to help guide the Banks family from chaos to the realization of what really matters. And with the help of her dear friend, Bert, not only does she help the Banks’ family, but learns a little about herself in the process. Mary Poppins, played by Kingsville’s Emily LeClaire, plays the role with the grace and coyness one would expect from Mary Poppins, said Allen Santos. Leamington’s Jude Mercer takes on the iconic Dick Van Dyke role of Bert. While this is only his second musical, Allen Santos said he delivers an exceptional portrayal of the character. The children, Jane and Michael Banks, are the only roles

municipal election 2018 Town of Kingsville
The 15 candidates vying for the five Councillor seats were asked to give a short biography and platform in 300 words.
Election Day is Oct. 22.
Mayor Nelson Santos, and Deputy-Mayor Gord Queen were acclaimed. Kevin Black
You may already know me and don’t even realize it. For over a decade I was the voice of morning news for Blackburn Radio in Essex County. My job was to dig deep on municipal issues facing Kingsville and holding leaders accountable. Now I want to put my 15 years of experience to work for you. Aside from my municipal experience, my wife Kathy and I are also co-owners of the awardwinning on-farm market and delivery service Lee & Maria’s. I don’t just talk about small business, I live the issues facing owners and the people working for them. The town pays thousands of dollars on promotion every year, and you need someone ensuring it’s being spent with the right focus in mind, helping as many people who live off small businesses as possible. A few quick thoughts: No to unregulated marijuana growing facilities, yes to more affordable housing. No to increased development without fixing traffic, yes to a new transit service linking Kingsville and the wider community. No to a burning ban, yes to decisions when you have all of the facts. Development in Kingsville is inevitable. More people from outside the region are learning the secret we’ve known for years, that the town is among the best places to live in the province. More people looking to move here means more pressure to expand. The key is doing it as part of a coordinated plan, so growth happens the right way, in the right place, and at the right time. I have two children, five and three, and when they’re older, I want them to enjoy the same small town I do. I’m counting on your vote so we can help a growing town maintain that small town feel.
Kim Gilliland I have lived in Kingsville since 2004 when I was called to minister at Cottam United Church. I also served for the Canadian Forces for 29 years. My previous background was in business. I earned an Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree from McMaster University and a Masters of Divinity degree from University of Toronto. One of the gifts that I bring to Town Council is experience in longrange strategic planning. Two questions that we constantly need to ask ourselves are, “What kind of community do we want to be?” and, “How do we get there?” The world economy is moving towards technology and green energy. Kingsville is in an ideal position to take advantage of these changes. The building blocks of green energy – wind, waves and sun – surround us. We also have everything that the tech industry needs to thrive. This is where the world is going and we have a chance to lead the way. We also need to ensure that everyone shares in our prosperity by supporting our most vulnerable neighbours. In a community such as Kingsville, poverty is often a hidden issue but is very real to those who live it. Affordable housing is an issue for many people. There are 3,000 families on the waiting list for affordable housing in Windsor Essex. Other families are being priced out of the market because of rising home prices. As the Chair of the Cottam Revitalization Committee, I presented our report to the Council and all of the recommendations were accepted. Real headway must be made on those recommendations to bring life back to our downtown core. I also believe that it is vital that the revitalization process that Kingsville began in Cottam be expanded to include Ruthven in an effort to bring benefits to our entire community.
Kimberly DeYong My name is Kimberly DeYong and I’m looking for your support in the upcoming election. My husband, Dean, and I are native to Kingsville. We lived in Ottawa where I went to university and worked as a Commercial Underwriter and returned home when we decided to raise a family, wanting the same tight knit small town community for our children to grow up in as we did. I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with Commerce, a Bachelor of Education and an Accounting diploma. I work as a Legal Researcher and spend much of my free time volunteering and working on initiatives for the betterment of our community. I’ve worked on important issues including the fight to save Leamington Hospital’s Obstetric Unit and a safe drinking water campaign. I balance this with lighter events such as working festivals, volunteering at the Legion and working with a non-profit children’s theatre company. I am a committee and council member for subjects ranging from heritage to education. Politics has always been a topic around our dinner table with my father-in-law, Henry DeYong, former Reeve of Gosfield South and my mother-in-law, Sandy McIntyre, former councillor of Kingsville. I’d like to formalize my service and commitment to community with a seat at the council table. If I’m fortunate to get elected you can count on me being available to listen to the concerns and issues raised by residents and doing the research and due diligence necessary to see that those issues are addressed. I will work to improve the transparency and accountability of this council. Council meetings should be recorded and available for residents to view from home. Kingsville enjoys a competitive tax rate and I’d like to keep it that way. Contact me at 519-839-6328 or Kim4Kingsville@ gmail.com and vote Kimberly DeYong.
Paul Lariviere My name is Paul Lariviere and I am very humbled to be able to run as a candidate for Kingsville Council. I am very excited for the opportunity to represent your voice if elected Oct. 22nd. My family and I moved back to Cottam in 2004 and both our children went to Gosfield North. Three quick issues I would like to mention to you are serious concerns for the expansion of Highway #3; the accidents need to end. Many of us have jobs that require us having to take this roadway every day, and we want to know that we are safe! For those of you with doubts, yes, there are steps that can be taken to help put this in motion and I will be that voice! A lot of the town residents are experiencing flooding problems on their properties and we need to put a handle on better drainage in our areas. And finally, the huge discomfort for the residents of Kingsville who live in the surrounding areas of greenhouses that are growing cannabis. I have done extensive research on this matter and have discovered that there are many solutions to help contain this situation. This will mean stricter rules for ventilation for these greenhouses. Our local residents and business owners should not have to suffer with this odour on a daily basis. A few examples we can explore are, carbon filters, ozonator filters and charcoal filters at their expense. This is a step we must enforce for our future as a community. I will work hard and dedicate myself to listen to each and every one of you, to be a strong part of the decisions that continue to move our town forward towards a better, healthier and safer future for us all.
Tony Gaffan
I am Tony Gaffan, husband to Laura of 29 years, father of four grown children and proud grandfather of one granddaughter. I have served as Councillor for the past 4 years and am seeking re-election. I have loved working on behalf of the constituents of the town of Kingsville and hopefully, look forward to continuing to serve in this capacity. Word has spread that Kingsville is a fantastic town to live, work and play in! As a business owner in the downtown, I have watched this growth and am keenly aware of the need to keep the small town feel, but actively seek ways of encouraging smart progress. Traffic and infrastructure will continue to be a priority to me, yet always, in a fiscally responsible way. This thriving community boasts some of the most beautiful green spaces and park areas anywhere. I will continue to fight for these areas to be maintained and upgraded so our families can enjoy them, and they can continue to host the amazing events that draw our community together. I am proud of the town I was born, raised in, and have been able to work and support my own family in. I humbly ask for your vote on Monday, October 22, so I can continue to help Kingsville and its constituents grow and thrive.
John Lein
I am married with grown children and grandchildren. My wife Kim and I will be "empty nesters" this September. By education I am a graduate from Ryerson University (formally Ryerson Polytechnical Institute; Toronto1985), from the Landscape Architecture Program. By career I have had the pleasure to work at St. Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology starting back in 1993. Currently, I am the Coordinator and a Professor of the Landscape Horticulture Program. By design I have always been able to showcase my creative side through my small business designing residential and commercial landscape projects. Since early July, I have been campaigning door-todoor. Not simply dropping off campaign cards, but ringing the doorbell or knocking on a door. I have been meeting many wonderful, enthusiastic folks. I have had discussions with business owners, developers and of course, homeowners. Many of you are very knowledgeable about issues, others are simply happy to see me working the beat. Most were inspired by my message. This past week (October 2018), I have hand delivered approximately 1300 campaign cards to rural residence with roadside mailboxes. In total I have personally knocked on or visited over 7000 homes. I am hard working. I don’t know how to slow down. I would appreciate your support and a vote for me as one of your council members. The timing is right for me to serve you on council for the next 4 years. I want to help you, to make our Kingsville even better, more beautiful, and more exciting than it even is now! I'd like to keep my campaign, vision and issues grass roots. I don't want to be a one issue candidate. Your issue, is my issue. You can learn more at johnlein.ca
The 15 candiates were emailed using the email address provided via the Town of Kingsville website. Also running for a Councillor position, but not responding to our request were Laura Lucier, Jackie Kerr, Corey Gosselin, Michael Laba, Ted Mastronardi and Gloria Cavenago.

Southpoint Sun - A-15
The 15 candidates vying for the five Kingsville Councillor seats were asked to give a short biography and platform in 300 words.
Election Day is Oct. 22.
Mayor Nelson Santos, and Deputy-Mayor Gord Queen were acclaimed. Larry Patterson
Thomas Neufeld
Barry Wilson
While looking for your support in the upcoming election, I want to thank our residents for allowing me the opportunity to represent you as Kingsville councillor for the past 4 years. The knowledge, trust and understanding that I have gained has made me very confident and comfortable in answering questions or directing our residents to the proper department for assistance in their concerns. As a retiree I have the time and energy to serve on committees regardless of the time of the scheduled meeting. And what matters most, is that I enjoy serving on theses committees for our community. While seeking your support for re-election to Kingsville Council: • I am someone who listens before speaking • A candidate with common sense, dedication, honesty, and strength • I have the time and commitment it takes to fully recognize and represent the needs of all residents, including the farming community, businesses and industry • I will provide leadership that works for all of Kingsville’s future • I have a positive attitude that will make a difference. Looking ahead—it’s very important to have the foresight through proper planning and direction to be able to control our future growth…such as: new school, business, housing, recreation, controlled intersections and our agricultural areas. Our infrastructure of water, roads, bridges, drains and sewer will all need improvements while working within our yearly budget. Let my 25 years of municipal work experience and 4 years as Councillor help represent you. Together we will continue to make a difference. Re-Elect-- Larry Patterson—October 22, 2018
My name is Thomas Neufeld. I am 41 years old. My wife Angie and I have been married for 14 years and have four children. I am the production manager at Viewpointe Estate Winery. In 2008, I served on my first committee of Council. In 2010, I started to regularly attend Council meetings and in 2014, I was elected to be your voice on Council. Over this next term I will fight for: 1. Continued investments in our roads. With the size of modern farming equipment, increased traffic and growing popularity of active transportation, many of our roads are seeing the negative effects of neglect. 2. Senior and youth programming. Seniors are living longer, healthier lives and are staying active. As such, it will be incumbent upon us to provide not only active, but social programs that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The youth is our future. Opportunities to learn, play and explore, help to develop social, physical and cognitive skills and will enable them to be better prepared for adulthood. 3. Focus on economic development: Governments don’t create jobs. Governments should create an environment that is conducive to job creation. During my first term on Council, I initiated the first Community Improvement Plan to be in Cottam, where eligible property owners can take advantage of grant funding. 4. Land use planning that makes sense: Kingsville has been fortunate to see steady growth; managing that growth will take planning and leadership. Just because the Province says it’s okay, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s okay for Kingsville. 5. Keeping our taxes affordable. Driving efficiencies and controlled spending will be key factors.
We’re excited to introduce a NEW feature called
Kingsville is an exceptional community made of several great locales such as Arner, Cottam, Linden Beach, Union, North Ridge, Olinda, Ruthven, Kingsville and all points in between. I am very thankful for the opportunity to represent the people of Kingsville. Thank you for the time many of you have taken to speak with me at your doorstep, as I visit the communities in our region. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the coming weeks. During the next four years, a key goal will be to improve transparency and communication between the citizens of Kingsville and our municipal leadership. As our region continues to grow and flourish, we must wisely manage this growth while strengthening our community. Through improved communication between our citizens and municipal leaders, we can build the vision for our region together. This vision will include safe neighbourhoods, updating infrastructure, repairing roads, and a thriving economic environment for business. Top priorities: • Listening to the citizens of our community while improving communication from our municipal leadership. • Wisely managing the growth of our region to enhance the lives of our residents, businesses and industry. • Maintaining clean parklands and water fronts, expansion of safe trails and pathways for cycling and walking, supporting program activities for children and increasing tourism to the region. • Improving existing and building new roads, updating drains and sewers to protect property from flooding. • Strong leadership to keep taxes reasonable while delivering valuable services. Together we can grow and continue to be proud of our community. votewilson2018@gmail.com

Pavao wins Alf Bennie Award By Pat Bailey
LEAMINGTON – He’s a man whose actions speak louder than his words. In fact, he’s a man of very few words. And he held true to form on Wednesday night when his name was announced as the 2018 Alf Bennie Award winner at the 24th Annual Business Excellence Awards at the Portuguese Club, co-ordinated by the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce. John Pavao, accompanied by daughter Stephanie Clark, slowly made his way on stage to accept the Blackburn Radio sponsored award from Cordell Green. He limited his thanks to a few words but those words acknowledged he could never have hosted the rodeo year after year without his family and friends. Pavao, along with his family, have been responsible for bringing the Sun Parlour Rodeo to the area for the past 17 years. “John thought that it would be a great way to bring the community together and raise some money for the local hospital,” said Green. “John and a few friends formed the Sun Parlour Rodeo Committee and began planning for the first Sun Parlour Rodeo in 2001.” Since its inaugural event, the group has raised about $400,000 for the Hospice of Windsor Essex County, W.E. Care for Kids and Erie Shores Healthcare. “This group continues to work together year after year,” said Green, “with the help of many volunteers to bring this great event to our community.” True to his reputation,
Pavao had a single word to describe his reaction-”stunned”, but added “humbled” as an afterthought. In fact, his family admitted, they had to tell a little white lie to even get him to the awards’ ceremony. “He had no idea,” said his daughter Stephanie, “we had to tell him Vanessa was getting an award.” Vanessa applauded her dad’s efforts and attributed his actions simply to his “big heart”. “We’re just blessed that he’s our dad,” she added. Taking home this year’s Sponsor’s Choice Award was the United Way for its ‘On Track to Success Program’. Sponsor Libro Credit Union representatives lauded the program that targets neighbourhood-based poverty reduction while increasing high school graduation and post secondary enrollment amongst youth living in the community. The career mentoring program offers hand-on and experiential learning experiences with local employers and provides vulnerable students with opportunities and skills they may not otherwise be exposed to , while removing financial barriers
that would otherwise stand in their way. Jeremiah Wiebe was on hand to commend the program and applaud its success. There were several other businesses and individuals recognized for their tremendous success in 2018, with over 100 nominated in 14 categories. Kiara Clement was honored as the winner in the Youth Excellence Award, sponsored by Scotiabank Leamington. The 18-year-old Clement is a graduate of Cardinal Carter Secondary School and is currently attending St. Clair College. Her accomplishments and involvement include; vice-president of student affairs at St. Clair College, Leamington Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee, SECC, United Way WE Student Committee, Me to We Group, The Bridge volunteer, CrimeStoppers, Vacation Bible School leader and involved with Motivate Youth Canada. Recognized for their efforts that went above and beyond were: Warm Welcome Award; The Iron Kettle Bed and Breakfast Excellence in Food Ser-

Breakfast This Sunday We express a heartfelt thanks to the Wheatley Heritage Society for “rediscovering” a plaque in their building, the old school. The plaque lists the men of our area who “paid the supreme sacrifice” during the First World War. It was probably stored there after the fire and then forgotten about. I also thank Bill Siddall who did a beautiful job of cleaning and shining it up. It now hangs on the south wall downstairs. Check it out. WHEATLEY Tied with 5 wins at Fun Darts on LEGION NEWS October 5 were Marie Decaluwe and BRANCH 324 Richard Howe – Rosemary Duquette Jan Watson and Jim McClellan. Arnold Seili, Peter Van Zetten and Larry Evoy won 4 games. Debbie Seili, Jean Teylouni and Garry Hope, with 3 wins, tied with Bonnie Evoy and Gord Crook. Sherry Decaluwe, Mary Robinson and Mabel McKee gave the skunk a boot with one win. Ladies who doubled out were Rosemary, Jean, Bonnie and Sherry. Everyone is welcome to join the Fun Darts players on Friday evenings. Play starts at 7:30 p.m. Rick McNeely won twice at the Meat Draws that were run by Liz Banyai on October 6. Other winners were Lee Anne Liddle, Donna Corlett, Shorty Wallace, Sherry Fleming, Dave Moore, Valerie Bennett, Jan Watson, Kay Shaw and Julie Reid. Doug Miller won the 50/50 draw. Try your luck at winning some fantastic meat at the Meat Draws this Saturday. Tickets go on sale at 3 p.m. and the draws run until 5 p.m. A reminder – the Seniors Dinner will be held this Thursday. If you plan to attend hopefully you called in by last Friday. Treat yourself to breakfast prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary this Sunday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. Enjoy bacon or sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and toast or bacon or sausage and pancakes for only $5 per adult (kids prices available). Any of our community groups who use our upstairs hall for meetings and cancel a meeting, please let us know as soon as possible that you are cancelling. We are allowing our local service groups to use our hall but rentals help us to keep a hall available for your use so please let us know in plenty of time if you have cancelled a meeting. We have turned away potential rentals because you were scheduled to meet at that time. We should not have to rely on Facebook to find out your meeting is cancelled.

The Kingsville Fire Department Chief Chuck Parsons (centre) received a stamp plaque honouring firefighters from Canada Post, Kingsville office. The presentation was made in honour of Fire Prevention Week, October 8 – 12. During Fire Prevention Week firefighters visited four Kingsville schools and taught approximately 400 kids about fire safety at home and how to escape a fire.
letters to the editor
Editor: Municipal elections are fast approaching. Our mayor and council boast of results, delivering and vast experience. Just ask the homeowners living on Point Pelee Drive and Danforth Avenues how that played out. We had six months of road construction experience for replacing so called outdated sewers, water mains and drain systems. This was ordered by the outgoing Council, not the homeowners. It took six months to complete and was one of the dustiest, hot summers/fall sections homeowners had to cope with. Water was sprayed sometimes, but it dried back to dust in 20 minutes. Why were the street cleaners used? Then we were handed our share of their bill for finishing their project, which ended up in the thousands of dollars for each homeowner. Now there are reports of a surplus! Why wasn’t this used instead, or from the grants they got or from the taxes they collected? Everything was to be put back as it first was after the dust had settled. Love the fact that there was less than an a quarter of an inch of top soil with gravel in it that was spread on our lawns
to replace what was ripped up when the sidewalks were put in. The grass got sprayed two or three times and was not fit for livestock feed! What happened to the money set aside for the grass sod that was to go in? One councilor stated the owners didn’t pull the weeds. He should have his lawn torn up and had that same seed blown on his lawn and see how he would have loved it! The meetings the owners had with council fell on deaf ears. They did listen, but didn’t care to make things right. How many of us have tens of thousands of money just laying around for projects like this? Most of us are on fixed incomes and our taxes are way too high to begin with. Where is all that money going to? I, for one, want to see new faces on council after the election replacing the ones that delivered us this kind of result with all their experience that has amounted to a hill of beans! This is our time for changing city council. Please mark your “X” where it will do the most good come election day. Steffan Zevarr, Danforth Avenue, Leamington

Canadian Blood Services changes criteria for donor eligibility Canadian Blood Services has made a wide range of changes to donor eligibility and screening criteria. Some of the highlights of the 2018 eligibility criteria revisions include: • Removing the HIV deferral for people who have travelled to Cameroon and Togo. • Shortening the deferral time for people who have had tattoos and piercings. • Updating the restrictions for marijuana usage. • Reducing the waiting period for recipients of blood and blood products. Donors who have had a tattoo or piercing will only have to wait three months before donating blood, which is half the time it used to be. For more information about eligibility criteria or to book an appointment to give blood, visit blood.ca

Shaawnonoo Altiman of Walpole Island puts the finishing touches on a braided swatch of sweetgrass for one of the vendors at this year’s Art at the oTENTIKs Saturday, Oct. 13. The event celebrated the park’s 100th anniversary and included a dozen vendors and live performances from local musicians.
Point Pelee art exhibit a success By Bryan Jessop
POINT PELEE – A new concept for the display of local art has proven as popular with exhibitors as it is with those who’ve travelled to admire their work. In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Point Pelee National Park hosted Art at the oTENTiks, a two-day exhibit featuring the creations of local artists in a natural, outdoor setting. The event was hosted by Camp Henry’s 24-site campground, opened to the public for the first time about one year earlier. Most of the arts and crafts vendors hailed from
Leamington, Windsor and other Essex County communities, although others made the journey from Walpole Island and London. Most displays were set up within close proximity to one of the 24 oTENTik structures — crosses between A-frame cabins and large prospectors’ tents situated on raised, wooden floors. Parks Canada plans to make Art at the oTENTiks an annual event and based on vendor feedback, shouldn’t have trouble recruiting as many or more participants for 2019 and beyond. “We couldn’t ask for a better venue,” explained
Sherri Friesman of Bullfrog Studios in London, Ont. sells prints to a customer during the first Art at the oTENTiks at Point Pelee National Park’s Camp Henry Saturday, Oct. 13.
Sherri Friesman of the London-based Bullfrog Studios. “This is such a beautiful place to have something like this.” Nine vendors for Art at the oTENTiks were stationed at one of the 24 campsites while three others were set up under portable festival tents near Camp Henry’s parking lot. One feature, presented by artist Alex McKay, was the “Treaty Canoe” within the site’s dining hall. An advocate for Indigenous rights and causes, McKay created the canoe to spread the message stating “We are all treaty people.” The first day of the ex-
hibit — Saturday, Oct. 13 — offered free admission to Point Pelee for all visitors. Participating artists were encouraged to put on demonstrations of their work for guests, who were also entertained by live musical acts including a violinist and the Southpoint Ukulele Group (S.P.U.G.). Artistic mediums displayed for the two days included photography, water colours, crochet work, carvings and garden décor. “We hope to do this again in the future,” explained Point Pelee visitor experience manager Monique Oltrop. “It’s relatively small this year, but we hope to see
it grow with larger events in years to come.” Art at the oTENTiks was one of numerous events on a list of centennial celebrations for 2018. Planning for special occasions such as the art exhibit began last year, with vendors signing up a few months prior to the mid-October weekend. Each Parks Canada site was able to choose its own free admission day for 2018, a choice made for Oct. 13 by Point Pelee staff to coincide with the art show. “We like visitors to experience the park during the fall — it’s a nice time to see it,” Oltrop explained.

Southpoint Minor Hockey celebrating 25th anniversary By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY — A decision to combine rival minor hockey systems has developed quite the ‘silver’ lining. The Southpoint Minor Hockey Association — created when the Leamington- and Wheatley-based organizations joined forces starting with the 1993-’94 season — is marking its 25th birthday with what is being dubbed the “Silver Celebration”. The event will take place Saturday, Nov. 10 at The Leamington Portuguese Club on Talbot Street West as an opportunity for guests to honour the organization’s past, present and future. The gathering will be open to all members of the public 19 years of age and older, with doors opening for cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. Advance tickets are selling at $40 apiece and are available at Gabriele Floor and Home Furnishings in Leamington “It’s going to be and Bowman Feed and Supa busy time for ply in Wheatley. Tickets will everyone, so we don’t also be intermittently made really know what available for purchase at to expect.” specific Southpoint Capitals — Tara Brown and Stars home games, as mentioned on the website www.southpointminorhockey.com. The Silver Celebration’s dinner will feature a ‘wedding style’ meal and include speeches from former executive members and current SMHA president Greg Liebrock. The itinerary will continue with a DJ dance and offer silent auctions with items donated by local businesses and groups as well as a 50/50 draw. The main prizes will be for one free girls’ and one free boys’ registration with the SMHA for the 2019-’20 season. Each ticket purchased will have a perforated section to be submitted as an entry for the registration draw. Organizers hope to see the Silver Celebration serve as a reunion of sorts for former executive, players, coaches, managers, trainers and parents to reunite and share memories from the past quarter century. Displays will include
jerseys, photos, patches and other memorabilia showcasing the various logos the Southpoint Capitals and Stars have donned over the last two-and-a-half decades. The idea for the 25th anniversary celebration came up

Rudy is such a silly guy with lots of personality. He used to spend his time mostly living outdoors in his previous family, and will need the right owner who is going to teach him the transition to being indoors, while building on manners inside as well. He can be quite the busy boy, so he will need an owner who will provide adequate outlets for his energy, as well as work on basic obedience training with him.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Pets of the Week
Southpoint Atoms Blue vs Red
in the spring of this year when executive members of the association discussed a new emblem to be stitched onto the jerseys to mark the milestone season. Helping with arrangements for the event were SMHA Alumni members who were instrumental in forming the new, amalgamated association in 1993. The combining of Leamington and Wheatley systems is believed to be the first of its kind for the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. Tickets for the event will be sold in advance only and will be available until Saturday, Nov. 3. As the event will take place once the 2018-’19 minor hockey season in well underway, organizers aren’t sure what kind of turnout will attend the Silver Celebration. Any proceeds generated from the event will go towards offsetting SMHA operating costs, although simply honouring the association’s past, present and future is the main objective. “It’s going to be a busy time for everyone, so we don’t really know what to expect,” said Tara Brown of the celebration’s organizing committee. “This will be more about celebrating Southpoint Minor Hockey than to make any money off of the night. We’d love to see a full house.”

Photos from Kingsville Fire Department Twitter page Left - Kingsville’s first Fire Hall started construction in 1939 and finished in 1942. It was located at 30 Main St E, which is now EYES. Young firefighters lived above the station and their wives acted as dispatchers for the department. Right Kingsville’s very first pumper was this 1928 GotfredsonBickle. It was delivered on December 1, 1928. It remained in first line service until 1958 and in reserve service until 1981. It is currently being restored so it will look as good as the day we got it!
A look at Leamington’s past courtesy of C. Scott Holland OCTOBER 1985: One of Leamington’s wellknown houses, 13 Russell St., was designated a Heritage Site. The house was built around 1900 and the outer architectural styles are Queen Anne and Chateau. Looking on are owners Susan and Lou Harris along with local architectural committee chair Michael Power. At the time the house was a popular restaurant.
OCTOBER 1992: There wasn’t much wiggle room as the former Oakland United Church was moved to its new location in Cottam. OPP and Ontario Hydro crews accompanied the building, which took up the entire road on Hwy 77. New owners John and Jane Hoogsteen planned to convert the former church into apartments.

Oops, I missed it again I’ve always loved the Simpsons. They were funny 30 years ago and they’re still funny today. Three decades later, the humour is still a refreshing mix of timeless, clever jabs and topical shtick — often with little to no regard for today’s incessant, ultra-sensitive political correctness. In an era when we’re always JESSOP’S treating our kids like fragJOURNAL ile little princes and princesses who’ll collapse Bryan Jessop like a house of cards in a windstorm at the first hint of criticism, the Simpson kids are given the worst advice a parent can offer. It’s not just Homer. In an episode caption posted on Social Media, Marge tells Bart “you’ll avoid missing 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take.” Sometimes, you miss 100 per cent of the shots you DO take… or at least it seems that way. While many of us Canucks were stumbling about to the fatigue-related effects of Thanksgiving turkey on Monday, a Major League Baseball umpire was having some cognitive troubles of his own. By the time the fourth inning of a playoff game between the Yankees and Red Sox had rolled around, three of the four calls subjected to video review that Angel Hernandez made were successfully overturned. Now .250 may be a soso batting average, but when that’s the frequency by which you make the right call as an ump, fans start losing their patience. Some have used social media to jump to Hernandez’ defense. We hear the same explanation in hockey — “the official does not have the same advantageous view of the game as the cameras.” Others have suggested that the ump had the best seat in the house and should have made the correct calls no matter how close they were (each play was at first base). Either way…. oops (x3). Oh, but that wasn’t anywhere NEAR the most amusing part of Monday’s ALDS Game 3. Nope, the best part of the game was, well, the game itself. The Sox won 16-1, which is a real knee slapper when you’re a Yankees hater (like myself). For a moment, I wondered if it would have been even more enjoyable to see my Tigers pummel the Yanks like that and I actually decided that the answer was “no.” The Yankees and their fans hate nobody more than the Red
Sox, so it was actually funnier that Boston was the team that delivered the outright mauling. As bad as Monday was for Hernandez, it was a cakewalk compared to the day Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had 24 hours earlier. With 180 NFL games under his belt, Crosby’s inaccuracy was the difference in a 31-23 loss to the unimpressive Detroit Lions. The Packers would have WON by five points had Crosby went five-for-five in his field goal attempts and hit the mark on all three PATs. The kicker missed the mark on three-point attempts from 41, 42, 38 and 56 yards. That last one’s forgivable, since it’s a long shot for pretty much anyone (64 yards is the league record). Statistically speaking, he should have made at least two of the three ‘medium range’ field goal attempts. And missing a PAT? If you’re not familiar with football, that’s the equivalent of a hockey player firing a shot at an empty net from the crease and hitting the post (which is exactly what Crosby did).
Normally, kickers are the least-forgiven players in the NFL. A quarterback can throw five interceptions in a game and have nothing to worry about as far as job security goes. Green Bay personnel explained that they have faith in Crosby, declaring that he’ll do better next time. Three weeks earlier, the Minnesota Vikings gave Daniel Carlson the heave-ho after missing three FG attempts against Green Bay. He was dismissed the next day in favour of veteran Dan Bailey (no, not the announcer for the Wheatley Sharks). I actually support the Packers’ decision. We all make mistakes and have bad days. In last week’s Sun, I noted that results from an October 6 Leamington Flyers game in St. Thomas were not available by the Thanksgiving holiday press deadline. Turns out the results from that game will NEVER be available… because it didn’t happen. The Flyers were actually in Strathroy that day. Oops. “Nobody’s perfect” is something I at least TRY to remember every time some-

body cuts me off in traffic or gives me the incorrect change at the check out. In a number of Led Zeppelin songs, producers forgot to eliminate a rather squeaky bass drum pedal. Five seconds into the Beatles’ I’m Looking Through You, a rather out-of-place tambourine hit can be heard. It wasn’t intentional — the instrument had accidentally been dropped during recording. For Black Sabbath’s studio rendition of “The Warning”, guitarist Tony Iommi recorded two extended solos; one that he was rather proud of and another that he hated. Care to guess which version the producer released? What’s often difficult to do is figuring out where to draw the line between having an off day and just plain old being crappy at what you do — especially in professional sports. In baseball, it’s pretty easy to figure out which umpires have the respect of fans. Simply mention an official’s name and if the fan replies with “who?”, it means he’s a good ump. On that note, LOTS of baseball fanatics know Angel Hernandez. The same thing goes for football. For whatever reason, hockey’s a little different in that respect. If you think about it, perfect performances in every game of every sport would mean that nobody ever wins or loses. One scoreless draw after another would be kind of boring, don’t you think?

Capitals Atom Minors Win 2 Lose 2 Over the Thanksgiving weekend the Atom Minors were busy getting regular season games in. Playing Friday, October 5th on home ice against the Kent Cobras and falling short with a 2-1 loss, our goal scorer was Ryder Grossi assisted by Ben McFadden and Ben Arquette. Goaltending was on point by Nolan Meadows with only 2 shots making it past him. Next game was scheduled on Sunday at the WFCU arena playing the Riverside Rangers. Caps played awesome and managed to keep up to the first place Rangers all of the way in keeping
a tight score of 6-5 for the Rangers. The Caps gave everything they had with Noah Borges getting his first hattrick of the season, with assists by Gabriel Rino, Massimo Ingratta, Aidan Pulley and Ben McFadden. Forward Ryder Grossi also scored in the second assisted by Nathan Ford, followed by another in the third assisted by Mitchell Moracci. Great offense and defense playing by all including massive saves by netminder Nicholas DiMilo. This past weekend the Capitals played Friday night on their home ice against Essex Ravens. With the game on its
way, the Caps Noah Borges scored in the first period assisted by Gabriel Rino and Nathan Ford. Shots were wild and Caps dominated the game. Caps remained on the defensive edge winning the game in the third period. Game winning goal scored by Mitchell Moracci assisted by Matthew Mastromatteo and Rex Pearce. Final was 2-1 Caps. Saturday afternoon the Caps hosted another home game against Amherstburg Stars. This game was a whirlwind of chances and defensemen domination. Nothing was getting past those lines. First period was scoreless
as the Caps would make it all of the way down but just couldn’t get it in. The Stars had a much more difficult time as the defensemen were shutting every chance they got down. Second period began quickly and the Caps were hot and relentless finally getting a break with a goal from forward Ryder Grossi, assisted by Ben McFadden and Nathan Ford. Caps forward Mitchell
Moracci wanted a taste as well and scored his first of the game right after, assisted by Ryder Grossi who passed it up from behind the Stars net. Forward Noah Borges scored in the second as well, assisted by Nathan Ford. Leading into the third period the Caps were rough and tough making every shot count and being there for every rebound. The Stars managed to squeeze two
past goaltender Nicholas DiMilo, but that was all. He was focused and not budging. Caps scored 2 more during this period as well by Ryder Grossi, assisted by Mitchell Moracci and Massimo Ingratta and the game winning goal from Ben McFadden assisted by Mitchell and Ben Arquette. Great game Caps - keep the winning streak moving. Team work has its rewards.

Flyers get even with Rockets By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Now one fifth of the way through the regular season, the Leamington Flyers are finding that there truly is no place like home. The Flyers remained undefeated at Highbury Canco Arena following a 5-1 victory Thursday, Oct. 11 against the Rockets — a win that also granted Leamington payback for a 3-2 overtime loss in Strathroy five days earlier. The victory also gave the Flyers sole possession of second place in the Western Conference, although the Sarnia Legionnaires — two points behind as of Friday morning — had two games in hand. The first 10 minutes of the Thursday evening match were fairly quiet at both ends with the exception of a goal by Ryan Gagnier that seemed to catch everyone in a red and blue shirt off guard. Zeroing in on the net from its left side, Gagnier set loose a sharp, icelevel shot that found a gap in Josh Diamond’s armour and over the line for the 1-0 lead. Colton O’Brien and Michael Andrews assisted. Leamington’s forwards ramped up the pressure from there, peppering Diamond with 18 shots while Ryan Polidori was far less busy at
the other end, facing seven. The Flyers forced turnovers deep in the Rockets’ zone and mounted a handful of odd-man rushes to keep the Strathroy defenders reeling, but had to settle for the onegoal spread until Gagnier struck for his second of the night. Joined by Adam Jeffery for a short two-on-one break, Gagnier one-timed a point blank feed from his linemate to put the Flyers up 2-0. Andrews again drew the second assist.
“We came in fast off the hop — we wanted to show them we’re the better team.” — Ryan Gagnier
The Flyers picked up where the left off to start the second, wasting even less time before putting a mark on the gamesheet. From deep in the offensive zone, Dylan Weston sent a pass to the slot where Preston Corp tipped it just over Diamond’s stick and over the goal line. Blueliner Parker Jacques also assisted on the tally, scored 20 seconds into the middle frame. Dylan Weston added to the lead with his first of the season, snapping a Levi Tet-
69TH
reault pass from point blank that the Rockets’ netminder had little to no chance of saving. Zach Taylor drew the other assist. Strathroy put itself on the board less than three minutes later when Ryan Warner took a few steps inside the blueline and wired a wrist shot past Polidori’s glove. Leamington got the goal back when Andrews dug a loose puck out of his own skates and immediately flipped it from the slot into the mesh after being set up by Jeffery and Colton O’Brien. Leamington outshot their guests 15-9 in the second. The relatively peaceful nature of the game’s first 37 minutes all but deteriorated completely in the third, where 26 minor penalties, five-minute majors and 10-minute and full game misconducts were handed out between the two teams. Leamington’s offense seemed more content to kill the clock than add to the home team’s lead, although the Flyers still outshot the Rockets 10-7 for a 60 minute sum of 43-23. Strathroy was zero for two on the man advantage while the hosts were zero for five. “Our defense is starting to get better,” noted Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “We didn’t like the way the game in Strathroy ended, so

we knew we had to do something about it. Now, we’ve got to get going on the road. We’re comfortable here, but we’ve got to be good on the road if we’re going to be a competitive, championshipcalibre team.” “We went into the dressing room tonight with a sour taste in our mouths,” Gagnier added. “We came in fast off the hop — we wanted to show them we’re the better team.” On Sunday, Oct. 14, the Flyers hosted the Sarnia Legionnaires for an afternoon game sponsored by Dominos. Leamington won the game in a score of 4-0, with Flyer goals potted by Wyatt O’Neil, Corp, Gag-

Sharks split a pair By Bryan Jessop
WHEATLEY – Rookie Sharks found out, while veterans were reminded that playing on-again, off-again hockey against the Essex 73’s seldom ends favourably. Wheatley kept stride with the 73’s for most of a Wednesday, Oct. 10 home ice tilt, but a slow start and third-period lapses proved its downfall in a 5-3 loss. The 73’s took advantage of brief gaps left by the Sharks defense to score four times on nine shots in the third to maintain sole possession of third place in the Stobbs while Wheatley fell to 4-4-0-0.

This past weekend the Southpoint Capitals Point Pelee Karting Novice Majors travelled to St. Thomas to participate in the Boston Pizza Cup. Friday morning the Caps first test was the Stratford Warriors. With five minutes to go in the middle frame, Southpoint seemed to shake off the effects of a long car ride and started to find their legs. Kayden Cook attempted to carry the puck out from behind the net and jam it in but was stymied only to have Brody Brown not give up and bang in the rebound to even the score. Stratford regained the lead a minute and a half later. AJ Youssef stole the puck behind the net and wrapped it around to score the equalizer. Midway through the final frame Jonathan Recker slipped it by their goalie to take a lead, which would not be relinquished. Final score was a 3-2 win. Later that day Southpoint would face the West London Hawks. They scored early

and often in this contest as most players were able to find their way onto the scoresheet in a 16-1 drubbing. Brayden Foster and Ben Liebrock led the way, each scoring hattricks for their squad. Owen Derksen added two goals and an assist. Brody Brown finished with a goal and three assists. Zack Bradley, Charlie Ketler, Kayde Grossi, AJ Youssef and Jonathan Recker each contributed a goal
and an assist. Isaiah Georges and Sloan Smith each added a goal and Kayden Cook chipped in an assist. An early 7:30 a.m. start on Saturday morning against the Niagara Falls Flyers did not slow down the Southpoint scoring machine. The Capitals squad continued right where they left off the previous day. Brayden Foster led the way with his second hat trick and two assists. Tyler Thomas, also had a hattrick and an assist. Brody Brown continued with his hot hand scoring twice and adding two assists. Jonathan Recker had a goal and two assists while Kayden Cook fired in a goal and an assist. Isaiah Georges had two helpers while Kayde Grossi netted a goal and AJ Youssef chipped in an assist in an 11-0 victory. On Saturday afternoon the next test for Southpoint were the host St Thomas Stars. After falling behind by one the Caps started their comeback. Brody Brown stole the puck just inside the blue line and finished with a nice backhand to get on the board. Only a few moments later Brown chipped the puck to Zack Bradley who darted in alone and buried the go ahead goal. Next, Brody Brown carried the puck in from center and fired a shot just wide. AJ Youssef was quick on the puck and shot it back out front from behind the goal line, banking it in off their sprawling goalie. The Stars scored to make it 3-2 but that was as close as they would get. Owen Derksen, in Bobby Orr style, grabbed a loose puck and raced endto-end finishing by scoring low blocker. Finally, Zack Bradley fired a nice shot on net and Brown dug hard to roof the rebound and seal the 5-2 victory. Southpoint’s perfect 4-0 record earned them a spot in a semi final game on Sunday morning against the Georgina Blaze. The early morning start saw the Caps come out a little sluggish and they found themselves down by one early. AJ Youssef corralled a loose puck and made a pass to Brody Brown who promptly tipped past their goalie to even the score. (Continued Page 11)

This week saw the Caps take the ice three times, with the first battle against Erie North Shore Storm on Friday, October 12. Tensions ran high and the penalties were racked up in record time. Though Southpoint saw their share, the Erie players were over the top, with someone in the bin for their team almost every minute of the game. Kudos to the refs for keeping this one under wraps as best they could, but with the kids’ minds more on retaliation than actual play, the Caps found themselves on the end of a losing battle with a 4-2 final. Goals scored went to Liam Ouellette, assisted by Dom Bordignon, and to Chase Simpson, unassisted. Saturday brought the Essex Ravens and other than one goal scored by Max Youssef, assisted by Johnny Kennette, the Caps were outplayed right from go. The final was a heartbreaking 9-1. On Sunday, the Caps were off to Amherstburg to play the Stars. The Stars were determined, proving that there is nothing more deadly than an underestimated team who is hungry for a win. The Stars struck first, answered by Dayne DiMilo, unassisted, with a beauty point shot. Nick Mastromatteo scored in the second, also unassisted. The Stars then tied the game with just 12 seconds left in the period. The Caps would recapture their lead in the third at the 8:25 mark when Chase Simpson would bury the puck on a feed from Nathan Omar. The Stars would again bring it to a tie with just 2:11 left in the game, and take the lead with 1:14 left. All seemed lost until Dom Bordignon would score with just 9 seconds to go, assisted by Tyler Franklin and Max Youssef, ending the game in a 4-4 tie. Hank Aaron said “Failure is part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it”. Wise words when reflecting on this weekend past, as these kids continue the fight to build their season.

Novice Majors finalists in St. Thomas tourney (Continued from Page 10) Next, Tyler Thomas, on a great forecheck, stole the puck and tossed it out front to Brayden Foster who tipped it home to increase the lead. The assault continued as Jonathan Recker skated the puck in and shot low allowing Thomas to bang in the rebound. A few minutes later Brown won an offensive draw to Kayde Grossi who rifled one in from the top of the circle. The Capitals were not done yet as Jonathan Recker made a nice pass to Brayden Foster who tipped it on net and Thomas banged in the rebound. Finally, Owen Derksen made a fantastic pass to clear the zone to Tyler Thomas who skated it in and wired his third of the game. The Blaze would score one more late, but the final was a 6-2 Southpoint win. A few hours later the North London Nationals would be the team the Capitals faced in the finals. Although the first few minutes
saw Southpoint a little on their heels they eventually got it going and an exciting game was on. Midway through the first Jonathan Recker kept the puck in at the line and fired it on net. Brayden Foster dug hard to jam in the rebound and get the Caps on the board first. London tied it on a bank off the backboards, which was knocked in from the other side. Next, while short handed, Kayde Grossi moved the puck out of his zone to Brayden Foster who carried it a few strides before dishing to Brody Brown who went in alone and fired one in high blocker. Still in the second frame, Kayden Cook gained the zone and was checked, but AJ Youssef grabbed the loose puck and fired one on net. Jonathan Recker finished the play sliding it past a sprawling goalie. London scored a minute into the third to make it 3-2. Then, Southpoint had a chance to clear their zone but didn’t, resulting in a London goal.
They would add one more resulting in a 5-3 loss.
Pictured here from left to right are Peewee Minors Liam Ouelette, Dayne DiMilo, Jozef Zieba, and Johnny Kennette as they battle the Erie North Shore Storm and protect the net.
Stars Weekend Results
The Southpoint Atom Stars welcomed the South County Amherstburg Predators to the Unico Rink on Sunday afternoon, October 14. The Stars started the game on fire as they scored the first three goals of the game and carried a 3-0 lead into the final period. The Predators did score two goals in the third period, but that was not enough as the Stars edged out the Predators by a final score of 3-2. Stars goals came off the sticks of Grace Bedard, Emma Brown and Arabela Panunzio. Scoring the big assists were Grace Bedard, Taylor Lefaive, Emma Brown, Arabela Panunzio and Aleviyah McAndrews. Ava Carriero played amazing in net throughout this exciting contest to preserve the win. The Southpoint Peewee Stars tangled with both of the teams from the Lasalle Sabre Cats. The Lady Stars never let up throughout this game as they scored goals in all three periods en route to a dominant 4-1 win. Sienna
Gale paced the attack scoring 2 goals and 2 assists, Danika Romanyk and Charlie Liebrock scored the other Stars goals. Scoring the other assists were Danika Romanyk and Alexa Derikx. Shelby Wiebe was a Star in net for the Stars as she held Lasalle to just 1 goal. The Peewee Stars battled the other Lasalle team in Essex/Kent league action. This proved to be an extremely evenly matched game that saw both teams exchange first period goals. The second and third periods were scoreless as this game would end with a final score of 1-1. Danika Romanyk scored the lone Stars goal as Sienna Gale and Abbi Neufeld added the assists. Shelby Wiebe was great again between the pipes as she limited the Sabre Cats to just one goal giving her team the opportunity to secure the tie. The Southpoint Bantam Stars entertained the Essex Thunder on the Unico Rink on Sunday afternoon, October 14. These two teams were evenly matched throughout this game as
both goalies limited their opponents to just a single tally as this game ended in a 1-1 tie. Ava Hildebrandt scored a beautiful unassisted goal early in the third period to get the tie for her team. Evan Gualtieri shut the door in this exciting matchup as she limited the Thunder to just one goal making several big saves. The Leamington Kinsmen Southpoint Intermediate Stars battled the Chatham Outlaws in Essex/ Kent League action Sunday evening.

Cardinal Carter jumped out into the lead in the second quarter on a 27-yard pass by Zach Penner that found Noah Anscombe on the goal line before the receiver took the short jaunt into the end zone. Taouil again split the uprights with the PAT for a 14-7 advantage that stood until the halftime break. Eric Tavares intercepted a Blenheim pass at the Bobcats’ 45 and returned it to the 32, but the Cardinal Carter offence couldn’t expand on the lead. The game’s turning point began at Blenheim’s 42-yard line, when a Cougars’ fumble was picked up and carried into the end zone. Lima was injured near the goal line, forcing him to sit out the rest of the game. The winning play was scored on the final play of the quarter, a five-yard touchdown sprint that brought the score to 21-14 after the extra point kick. Cardinal Carter’s offence struggled to gain yardage in the fourth, where it was also picked off for three interceptions on the Blenheim side of the 55-yard line. The Bobcats put the game away in the dying minutes on an 18-yard touchdown run for a 28-14 final score.

Four-game week: Atom AE Ravens win, lose and draw
On Friday, October 5 the local Atom AE Ravens were fortunate to host the St. Thomas AE Stars. This turned out to be an exciting match up with the gang from Essex coming out on top 3-0. Caiden St. John led the attack with a pair, and a single tally being added by Zac Grein. Ty Patterson chipped in with one assist. Ethan Bastien and Nathan Lozon shared the shutout honours. Sunday, October 7, the Ravens ventured down the road for a Bluewater League game with the Kent Cobras. The crew played hard throughout the contest and were rewarded with a nice 6-2 victory. Finding the back of the net for Essex were Ryan Reid and Caiden St. John with a pair each,
and singles to Kegan Zimmermann and Nicholas Brophey. Zimmermann and James Sonoski helped set up goals with an assist each. Wednesday, October 10 the squad took on their closest rivals, the Erie North Shore Storm. The Storm came into the game tied for first place and would be a good measuring tool to gauge the Ravens’ improvement. After falling behind 3-0 in the contest, the Ravens found new energy and fought hard for 4-4 tie. The team as a whole played very well. Goal scorers for the Ravens were Mathieu Jakovcic, Zac Grein, Ryan Reid and Caiden St. John. Goaltenders for the game were Alexandrea Huntley and Nathan Lozon with

each coming up with some fine timely saves. Great effort Ravens! As quickly as the Ravens enjoyed success in Wednesday’s contest, all was lost in their exhibition match with the Dresden Junior Kings on Friday, October 12. The quick skating and excellent passing plays enabled the Jr. Kings to skate away with a 7-0 victory over our Ravens. Ethan Bastien made 31 saves in the game for Essex. The team learned a valuable lesson in this contest. It takes hard work in every shift of every period of every game to achieve the goals desired. All in all, it was a great week of hockey for the team. Thank you to Dr. Sean Smith for being a team sponsor!

Various ways you can put pumpkins to use
While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the following are a handful of additional ways this versatile fruit can be put to use. Beauty regimen Pumpkins contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals that can help replenish the skin. Pumpkin purée can be mixed with honey, aloe vera gel, olive oil, and a bit of cornmeal to create an exfoliating mask for the face or body. Pumpkin also can be used to rejuvenate dry or tired skin from cold weather. Honey, pumpkin and yogurt can be mixed together and used to condition hair. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it out and shampoo. Foods and beverages Pumpkin purée is the basis for many tasty, pumpkin-infused treats. Purée can be used in pies, cakes, muffins, breads, and many additional foods. Pumpkin purée also may be found in certain beverages, such as smoothies and shakes. A bit of spiced purée may appear as flavoring in teas and coffees. Roasted pumpkin seeds make a healthy treat. Foodies suggest using the seeds from “sugar pumpkins” or the ones best for making pies. Boil the seeds for a few minutes before draining. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and put the
seeds in a single layer. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and serve. Pumpkin wines and beers are popular as well. There are many recipes for developing sweet, fermented beverages, which tend to be especially popular in the fall. The “guts” of the pumpkin can be simmered along with aromatics and other vegetables to create a vegetable stock perfect for soups and broths. Decorations Pumpkins can also add to one’s home décor during the fall. Pumpkins can be carved for Halloween displays, hollowed-out to hold tealights or simply left on tables and used as centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be used as natural flower pots for mums or other seasonal floral displays. As the Native Americans once did, pumpkins can be hollowed-out and used as bowls to serve favorite soups and dips. Use a hollowed, small pumpkin as a natural aromatic candle holder. Cut holes in the sides to vent the exhaust. Rub aromatic spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, on the inside of the pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle in the bottom of the pumpkin and let it send inviting aromas into the air. Pumpkins are a versatile fruit that can serve many purposes beyond just jack-o-lanterns and pies.
Plan a day to shop local fairs, shops and stands Autumn is tailor-made for getting out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. With crisp temperatures perfect for strolls or sightseeing

sions. Fall is a great season to enjoy festivals, farmer’s markets and craft fairs, as merchants look to liquidate inventory before they prepare for the rush of the upcoming holiday season. Cities, towns, hamlets, and everything in between will host their share of open markets and more with great deals to be had, and fall is an ideal time to visit local shops and stands. Fresh produce Farms big and small are bursting with pro-
mix of Pear, Purple Plum, Pear and Apple, and Apple wines!
duce come the fall. You can find the last vestiges of summer crops mingling with the first fruits of autumn. Grab the last of tomatoes and start thinking ahead to apples, squashes, lettuces, and grapes. You can even get an early start on pumpkin season — both for cooking and carving. Stock the car with reusable tote bags and scour the farmer’s markets for seasonal finds. Chances are you also might pick up some extra treats, such as fresh honey or canned jams. Food finds As plants are harvested, many items are turned into delicious treats. No autumn shopping excursion is complete until you smell a fresh-baked apple pie or some apple cider doughnuts. Corn breads and fritters, cranberry snacks and wines from nearby wineries also are easy to find in autumn. These items make welcome additions to your own pantry, or bring a
freshly made treat to a friend or family member’s home when paying a visit. Also, don’t miss the food-related festivals that pop up on community calendars in the fall. From garlic to potatoes to pumpkins to cheeses, many seasonal items are on display. You also can sample these foods in interesting applications and make a day of gathering recipes and supplies to enjoy later. Crafts, jewelry and décor Include a trip to a craft fair, where local vendors come together to display and sell their wares, on your weekend schedule. Hand-
crafted items make thoughtful and unique gifts, which can be tucked away for giving later in the year. Booths at these types of events tend to be diverse. Spend the day strolling town squares or closedoff city centers, and you may find some hand-fashioned jewelry or home-crafted artisanal soaps. Those eager to enhance their homes’ décor may find unique items like painted signs, knit afghans and much more. Shopping local shops, farms and fairs is a great way to enjoy the fresh autumn air while supporting local businesses.

Fall lawn care tips (NC) Many of us feed our lawns at the first signs of spring, but did you know that autumn is the most important time to fertilize? A lawn fed three to four times a year develops a deep root system to resist heat, drought and wear. It also develops thick green top growth to naturally resist weeds, disease and insects. Feeding before the ground freezes, but after the lawn no longer needs mowing, will give your lawn the extra nutrients it needs during our long, cold winters. Look for a fertilizer with higher nitrogen and potassium, the first and last numbers on the bag. These are the nutrients that help promote a stronger root structure, disease resistance and hardiness in cold weather. A properly fed lawn produces a deeper root structure, capable of reaching water deep in the soil. Here are some tips to help you put your lawn to bed for the winter: 1. Review your options at a lawn and garden centre by reading the bag. Look for higher nitrogen (N) and potassium (P) ratios. 2. Use a quality lawn fertilizer spreader or handheld model to ensure even feeding.

t s i L o To D
Go apple picking at a local orchard Bake an apple or pumpkin pie, and maybe one for your neighbour as well. Go for a nature walk in Point Pelee National Park, Wheatley Provincial Park or a local conservation area, and enjoy all the beautiful colours around you (remember to leave your surroundings as you found them).
Rake the leaves in your yard into piles and have fun jumping in them (embrace your inner child!) Plant bulbs in your gardens for next spring.
3. Don’t apply if heavy rain is expected, and ensure the last application is on before the ground is frozen.
Borrow a book from your local library, grab a blanket and enjoy a cozy evening at home getting lost in a good story. Buy squash from a road side stand (winter, butternut, spaghetti, acorn). Make soups, a yummy side dish, or a warm vegetarian main course.
4. Fertilizer can only do its job if it’s on your lawn or garden. Sweep any fertilizer that lands on sidewalks or driveways back onto the lawn, avoiding sewers and waterways.
Create fun, fall décor using gourds. Fill a basket to make a centerpiece, decorate your front step, or paint them a funky colour to be displayed on your mantle. Get lost in a corn maze, get spooked in a haunted house and enjoy a hayride.
You can safely use any leftover fertilizer next year, because fertilizer doesn’t expire as long as it’s kept dry.
Watch your favourite scary movies to get in the Halloween spirit.

This fall song was recorded by such greats as Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Eric Clapton. In the northern hemisphere, the closest full moon to the fall equinox is called what? This was previously known as Armistice Day in Canada. In Canada Since 1957, this has been celebrated on the second Monday in October Some of the lesser known of these include carnival, Hubbard and golden nugget.

This baseball superstar from the 1970s was known as Mr October This ill-fated lake freighter was captained by Ernest MCSorley until November 10, 1975. This 1966 animated prime time TV show is based on a story by Charles Schulz. FOR ANSWERS SEE PAGE 6
This recipe is the Frankenstein’s monster of the dessert world. You’d be hard-pressed to find a person who can pass up the salty swagger of smoked bacon paired with the creamy richness of chocolate and the crunch and sweetness of a chocolate chip cookie. Top it with marshmallow and this Halloween treat is alive with flavor!
Grilled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bacon S’mores
INGREDIENTS: • 12 thick-cut slices bacon (hickory smoked, Applewood smoked or maple) • 12 large marshmallows • 12, 2-inch squares chocolate good quality • 12 skewers • 12 tablespoons butter, softened • 3⁄4 cup brown sugar • 1⁄4 cup sugar DIRECTIONS: Make the cookies: In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until light and very fluffy. Add vanilla, egg and egg yolk, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated and dough comes together. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover very tightly and chill for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll dough into balls (about 11⁄2 inch) and space 2 to 3 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool

For many people, a day spa is a treat enjoyed on special occasions or while on vacation. However, home bathrooms can be designed to provide the same types of amenities offered at day spas right in the comfort of one’s home. Homeowners whose renovation plans include turning a bathroom into a spa oasis will need to choose which features they desire most. These suggestions can spur on more ideas to create the ideal retreat. • Soaker bathtub: There’s something to be said about a luxurious soak in a tub. Tubs come in different sizes and shapes, like the highly recognizable clawfoot tub and other freestanding units. These types of tubs, as well as corner tubs, can offer deep-seated luxury by way of a relaxing and restorative soak. Pair with scented bath bombs or salts for a true spa experience. • Steam shower: Steam showers are self-enclosed units that feature generators that deliver steam through steam heads. The steam fills the space and can help a person unwind before a refreshing shower or bath. According to the retailer Modern Bathroom®, modern steam showers come with digital controls, which makes it easy for users to activate the shower, adjust the length of time that the shower
will operate and adjust temperature controls. Extra features like music, mood lighting and aromatherapy can be included as well. • Heated floors: Heated floors provide the utmost in comfort when stepping out of the bath or shower. They can warm the room and make using the space more comfortable in cold weather. • Vessel sinks: A vessel sink typically features a bowl or basin that looks like it was placed on top of the vanity. Vessel sinks can elevate the ambiance in spa bathrooms. • Plush towels and robes: In addition to fixtures and other functional components of the bath, linens are key. Soft-spun Egyptian or Turkish cotton towels and robes are a must-have luxury for the full spa experience. • Comfortable seat: A bench or chair nestled by a bathroom window is the perfect spot for pedicures or catching up on some light reading. • Natural light: Skylights or privacy-ensuring windows are a must to create a relaxing space close to nature. A spa bathroom at home is within reach. With a few touches, any bathroom can be transformed into a luxurious oasis.
Trends in home remodeling and decor tend to come and go. Something that is popular for a little while can fall out of favor when the next new idea comes along. New trends are always on the horizon, and 2019 may encourage homeowners to try something new. • Metallics and metals are back: Although stainless steel accents in the kitchen have long been popular, the glistening look of metal and metallic shades are back in a big way. Inspired by the 1950s and 1970s, brass, gold and metallic finishes are popular right now. • Texture: Texture is a big component of interior design. Furniture and accessories featuring faux fur and natural fibers are becoming popular. Pieces adorned with cozy materials can seem more inviting. Organic shapes, such as tables looking like the tree trunk they were cut
from, also are expected to become more popular. • Artisanal touches in accessories: It’s all about getting back to basics, with homeowners desiring pieces that are one-of-a-kind and handmade rather than mass-produced. Expect to see more accessories that are made by hand or in small batches, like pottery or handwoven textiles, as homeowners are increasingly turning to independent artists and artisans when decorating their homes. Homeowners can even support independent artists when choosing art for their homes. • Fabric on the walls: Walls also will be covered in texture and pattern. Textiles will increasingly turn up on walls and in places they haven’t traditionally been seen. Patterns may lean toward floral, tropical and indigenous artisan weaving designs.
• Smart homes: Technology is changing the way people look at their homes. Water-resistant music systems for the bathroom, wirelessly operated Bluetooth devices that turn on lights or appliances from a smartphone and even fixtures that use technology to selfclean are turning up more and more.
Home decor trends are always changing, adding new life to homes and keeping armchair interior decorators on their toes.

Instantly
make this room look sophisticated and transformed with a new backsplash. Since it’s a relatively small surface area, you can splurge on more luxurious tiles to create the aesthetic of your dreams, whether it’s sleek and modern or rustic and country.
Finish off the room by swapping out cabinet hardware for a fresh and polished look. Living room: The right window coverings can add value, style and ambiance to your main living area. Frame the space with

custom-designed window treatments that let you choose the perfect fabric, size and style, whether you have patio or sliding glass doors or a bay window. Their shades offer both natural light and privacy, as well as energy efficiency and smart-home operating systems that move the shades automatically to their perfect positions throughout the day. Bedroom: Switching up the bed linens can have a major effect on the mood in your bedroom, whether you want to go for chic and cheerful or eclectic and bohemian. Just be careful not to be too matchy-matchy with your comforter, sheets and pillows — it screams bed in a bag, which lacks style and personality. Instead, add your own flair with a variety of colours and patterns for space that
is unique to you. Bathroom: For a more affordable makeover, focus on decorative elements that can give you that homespa feel. Add a bold frame to the vanity mir-

Fall and winter style trends to add to your wardrobe
As days grow shorter and cooler, the unstructured ensembles of shorts and tanks make way for the sweaters, boots, tweeds, and wool of autumn attire. Whether you’re ready to head to the office or the classroom, you may want to include cozy ribbed knits, pantsuits and some other trendsetting items in your autumn wardrobe. • Duster coats: Duster coats and ponchos could be seen at all the major runway shows. These coats are equally comfortable tossed over casual wear, such as a sweater and jeans, or worn over business attire. The longer length keeps legs and torsos warm on chilly days. Play with patterns and colors, such as animal print or pale pink, for extra flair. • Turtlenecks: Put away your t-shirts for the season and use turtlenecks as your next must-have layering piece. In the past, turtlenecks have fallen in and out of favor. But now they’re back again in high demand. Turtlenecks keep you warm, and they’re also quite fashionable. Turtlenecks can even be worn in nontraditional ways, such as under a dress with straps. • Skirt belts: Mini skirts can be paired with longer dresses as a waist cincher or to add a bit of texture. This creates a focal point and can break up the monotony of a long, single-colored dress. • Luxury athletic wear: A trip to the gym or just lounging around at home can now be even more fashionable, as many brands are now offering luxury gym clothes. These clothes offer a greater attention to detail and more comfort than the usual gym attire and can be mixed and matched with other pieces you may already have in your closet. Slouchy hoods and free-flowing pieces garner all the right attention. • Chokers: Flash back to the 1990s and enjoy the nostalgia of choker necklaces. Black chokers can have a bewitching look and dress up evening wear or even a more casual button-down shirt. • Fringe: If you haven’t yet added something fringed to your wardrobe, now is the time. The
trend is still prevailing with nearly every designer including some sort of fringe or frayed fabric in their collections. Fringed skirts, capes and vests are just a few looks to try. • Pantsuits: Pantsuits are back in a big way, but they’re edgier than in years past. Whether it’s tailored jackets paired with flowing pants, cigarette-style bottoms and cropped tops or a boxy blazer and suspenders, pantsuits are a chic and trendy look. The cooler temperatures of autumn mean wrapping yourself up in comfort and coziness without compromising on style.
