Leamington council has finally made a decision to resolve the crosswalk issue on Erie St. South at the Highbury Canco plant. The major change for motorists will be a reduction in lanes from two to one for southbound vehicles past the intersection of Oak. Council made the decision after examining several options at last week’s meeting. The cost of the project has been estimated at about $80,000. In recent months two pedestrians have been hit, with several “close calls” at the pedestrian crossing used mainly by Highbury employees. At present it is only a “courtesy crossing.” Mayor Hilda MacDonald said council was certain to get “some push-back... but we’ve got to act.” Councillor Paul Tiessen said Highbury workers should go “up and over (through the company overhead links) or down to the intersection.” “There are safer ways than changing the road,” he said. The crosswalk has been there for many years and town administrator Peter Neufeld said it is a town responsibility. “We just want it safer than it is,” said Highbury spokesman John Kruger. Because it is four lanes wide, the Ontario transport ministry would want a full red-green set of lights to control the traffic at the crossing, and the cost was estimated at over $300,000. By reducing it to three lanes, the town can use the yellow flashing lights to warn motorists of the crosswalk, and the traffic delay would be much shorter. A similar light is on the trail crossing on Seacliff Dr. at the Roma Club. As well as narrowing the southbound lanes to one, the traffic lanes will be reconfigured on Erie on the approach to the intersection with only a left, right, and straight lane. No timeline on the project was given.

Christmas Hampers another success By Bryan Jessop
Thanks to the combined efforts of volunteers across the community, Christmas this year was more about the happy and less about the hungry. The annual Leamington and Mersea Goodfellows Christmas Hampers project welcomed 49,000 canned goods and other non-perishable items from Leamington District Secondary School’s 2018 can drive. From there, the local Goodfellows recruited other volunteers — including more students from LDSS and UMEI — to load 800 baskets for 194 Leamington-area families in need. “The students just wanted to do as much as they could,” explained LDSS teacher Gia Brennan, who assisted with and supervised the basket filling process with fellow teacher Orlena Rossi. “They’re willing to give back to the community with their time, which is important.” The LDSS can drive included $11,000 in monetary donations, which was tabulated into this year’s total. Upon the Friday, Dec. 14 event’s completion, it was determined that the Girls’ team recaptured the championship trophy from the Boys, who won it in 2017. One of the volunteers assisting with the collection of LDSS food items was Jill Nicholson, daughter of the late Don “Shorty” Nicholson who served as the local Goodfellows president until his passing earlier this year. Also added to the LDSS total was a contribution
of three large boxes full of canned goods collected by the residents, families and staff members of Chartwell Leamington Retirement Residence on Henry Avenue. While a team of about a dozen volunteer LDSS students filled baskets on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 18, a group from Chartwell arrived to assist and offer baked goods prepared by the facility’s chef. “Our residents like to be involved with the community and give back,” explained Chartwell retirement living consultant Melissa Bloomfield, noting that what the residence refers to as its ‘Community Blitz’ will become an annual tradition. In previous efforts, Chartwell residents, their family members and staff have stepped forward to donate poinsettias to Erie Shores Hospice in Leamington and support Community Living Windsor Essex County. This year’s can drive at Chartwell in support of the Goodfellows Christmas Hampers campaign began December 1. Later that afternoon, volunteer students from UMEI took on a shift to complete the basket-filling portion of the project. Goodfellows volunteers also set up baskets at the Westmoreland warehouse on Industrial Drive, sorted food donations by type and size and on deliver day — Saturday, Dec. 22 — set out to drop off filled baskets to their recipients, complete with Christmas turkeys and potatoes. For that day, a group of about 30 with pick up trucks, SUVs and vans were recruited for the three-hour process.

Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Canada Challenge team for 2018’19 has ‘cleaned up’ at the local level of competition. A group of 10 CCCMS students — six in Grade 7 and four in Grade 8 — formed a team dubbed ‘Cougarbotics’ to compete in the regional round of the FIRST Robotics Canada Challenge’s FLL (FIRST Lego League), hosted by St. Clair College Saturday, Dec. 8 and 9. The 19 teams from across Windsor and Essex County competed in the same three categories — core values, a robotic challenge and project development. After each team went through presentation, question and answer and judging processes, the Cougarbotics team was declared the first place overall winner. The event’s core values portion was based on discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork and cooperation. The robot game was taken on by Grade 8 students Lucas Makhlouf, Tyson Antunes, Matthew Preston and Grade 7’s Dante Mastronardi for
the Cougarbotics entry. Adhering to this year’s FLL theme “Into Orbit,” the group created a Lego-based machine to operate a miniature scale space station. The device featured a base equipped with four motors, attachment ports and three sensors. Attachments included a wall runner with stabilizers and pneumatics named “Wheelie” and others dubbed “Chuga” and “Mammoth.” For the robot game, each team was given 2.5 minutes to complete as many ‘missions’ as possible. The robotics segment of Cougarbotics began preparing for the competition in the summer of this year and was assisted by Custom Concepts Machining in Leamington with the use of a CNC machine. The CCCMS team presented an invention dubbed “H2GO” for the project segment of the challenge. The device was created as the local team’s answer to the challenges of showering in space. Currently, the crews of space missions are limited to a total of four litres of water for weeks at a time, making it difficult to bathe properly and avoid bacteria-related complications that lead to hair loss,
rashes, infections, meningitis, pneumonia and other health issues. In the development of H2GO as it exists in its current prototype, the four robot games team members were included along with Alexa Kennth, Raegan Woodiwiss, Daesa Minaudo, Charbel Tawil and Charlie Liebrock in Grade 7 and Vanessa Jacobs in Grade 8. The showering device was first developed as a suit, which allowed too many entry and exit points for the water. From there, the team created a shower ‘pocket’ that was eventually replaced with the current model centered around a small-scale capsule powered by a Shop Vac and situated on a stand that was also offered by Custom Concepts Machining. Soon, the current model will be equipped with hand and feet anchors to address zero gravity challenges. Along the way, Cougarbotics has consulted numerous experts on H2GO’s various components including the Windsor Essex County Health Unit, HVAC personnel and Canadian astronaut and engineering professor Dr. Kristiina Mai during a late November visit to Ryerson University. During the presentation at Ryerson, Mai was quoted as saying “I don’t think they (NASA) have a design as good as yours for hygiene” as well as “this is brilliant.” H2GO, designed for use on long-duration space missions including those aboard the International Space Station, offers a water recollection rate of 100 per cent. “It’s a rather impressive shower unit to use in space,” said CCCMS teacher David Kostanjevec, who is leading the Cougarbotics team along with fellow teachers Rima Mastronardi and Ida Ricci. “Our team was called back by judges in all categories (at St. Clair College for the regionals) — it was quite an exemplary performance.” Since early September, Cougarbotics members have gathered before school, during lunch, after school and on Saturdays to prepare for their presentations and work on the robots and H2GO prototypes. By winning the FLL regionals in Windsor, the team has qualified to participate in the Ontario West Provincials to take place in Waterloo Feb. 9.

How do we revitalize our downtown?
By Sheila McBrayne
LEAMINGTON – Leamington, like a lot of other towns in Ontario, battles with the problem of empty storefronts. “How do we revitalize our downtown?” was the question Jan Hawley, Economic Development Officer for the Municipality of Huron East asked herself in 2015 and is now answering the question for other communities. A proven entrepreneurial idea – Win This Space – and it just might be what Leamington needs to spark some interest in its downtown. Hawley was the guest speaker at the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce Jingle & Mingle Holiday Business Expo held at the Best Western Plus Leamington. Win This Space started in Uxbridge, Ontario and has been replicated in over 14 other Ontario towns, including the guest speaker’s hometown of Seaforth. The idea is to hold a contest called Win This Space, which sees one entrepreneur’s idea become a business with free rent for one year. Hawley explained that in 2016, the town of Seaforth had 11 empty storefronts. The owners were contacted and large decals were placed in the window identifying it as a potential location for the winner of the contest. “We had a very limited budget - $20,000 - to pull this off,” said Hawley. The contest ran with one paid position and many professionals who volunteered their time and expertise to the program. The majority of the budget was used to pay 12 months’ rent for the new business. Twenty-eight 300-word submissions were entered into the contest. All those who entered then participated in a variety of seminars and training sessions. From the original 28 entries, 24 completed the training and 12 were selected to complete a business plan. From the dozen potential new businesses, five finalists
were selected. In a Dragon’s Den format, the winner was chosen by a panel of judges. The winning entry was The Cotton Harvest Quilt Shop. The quilt shop has enjoyed great success having hosted an international quilt show for the past two years, which almost doubles the population of Seaforth during the event. The Cotton Harvest Quilt Shop was recently selected to be profiled in an upcoming Better Homes & Gardens magazine. But as Hawley explained, it was more than gaining one new business. And, six of the other entrepreneurs in the competition followed through on their business plans and also opened up. Many of the vacant buildings that had the giant Win This Space decals on them, were being cleaned up and being sold. “We smoked out two home-based businesses that are now storefront retailers,” she stated. Since 2015, Seaforth (population 2,300) and surrounding communities within Huron East (population of 9,200 total) have seen 23 new business startups. “This would work in Leamington,” stated Hawley. Leamington Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke said he was “very interested” to find out more and see if this is a program that the municipality and other interest groups could coordinate.

Kingsville to decide on retail cannabis Jan. 14
KINGSVILLE – Kingsville Council held a special community meeting on Monday, December 17 to hear the opinions of the community on opting in or out of retail cannabis stores. Eric Nadalin, Manager, Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention of Windsor- Essex County Health Unit, gave a presentation. Mary K. Durocher, owner and principal consultant with Fox D Consulting, presented the facts about the new Retail Cannabis Legislation. Members of the public were also able to share their views. Leamington opted in at its Dec. 17 council meeting. Tecumseh and Lakeshore have opted out. All municipalities in Ontario must decide by January 22. Kingsville Council will make a decision on retail cannabis stores at its January 14 regular council meeting. The PC government has said a lottery will be used to phase in stores in April when they can legally operate in Ontario. In April 2019 the PC government plans to roll out 25 licenses throughout the province to municipalities with populations of 50,000 or more. Residents can voice their opinion before the January 14 meeting by filling out an online survey at www.kingsville.ca
Leamington District Secondary School Grade 11 student Ava Vrucina reveals display boards presented as part of a Conscientious Consumer Student Forum at the school Friday, Dec. 7. In the midst of the holiday shopping season, the event was held with the purpose of informing shoppers about the products they purchase.
Conscientious Consumer Student Forum at LDSS
The LDSS EcoTeam and Business Department hosted a Conscientious Consumer Student Forum Friday, Dec. 7 in the school library. The idea for the event started with Ava Vrucina, a Grade 11 member of the LDSS EcoTeam. Knowing the Christmas shopping season was approaching, Ava wanted other students and staff members to make sure they were better informed about the products they purchase. Ava explained how the idea for the forum originated: “In our EcoTeam meetings we always like to start by sharing good environmental news and many times I found we were discussing corporate environmental responsibility. I wanted to find a way to get these positive messages out to a wider audience so that we all make informed decisions when we make purchases.” Ava approached Business teacher Liza Pajulio to ask if her Grade 10 Business class would take on a research project to learn more about sustainable businesses then present their findings to the school community. Pajulio enthusiastically agreed and together they worked on a curriculum-based collaboration that was even more successful than they had anticipated. The project involved students working in pairs to research companies that have adopted environmentally sustainable business practices. Their next step was to create a professional display board and presentation to share their research with others. Eight companies were featured at the event, including Levi’s (reduced water use), H & M (recycle used clothing), Burt’s Bees (natural cosmetics), Matt & Nat (vegan leather products), Nature’s Path Organics (organic food products), IKEA (planting trees to replace those used to create furniture), Lush Cosmetics (Canadian company uses natural products), A&W (Beyond Meat burger), and Mountain Equipment Co-op (outdoor products, sustainable business practices). Pajulio explained, “The goal of the forum was to encourage a thoughtful, informed consumer whose choices help contribute to a more sustainable planet. Awareness is key.” The Conscientious Consumer Student Forum used a seminar approach to engage over 200 students and staff members. In addition to learning about environmentally sustainable business practices, guests enjoyed plant-based and organic snacks and had the opportunity to win prizes from some of the companies featured at the event. “Consumers have power and I hope they will use that power to support businesses that are working to improve our environment,” Vrucina added.

What would Punch Imlach do?
Old time hockey fans like me absolutely cringe when we see some of the decisions made by our favourite general managers and coaches these days. From lineup decisions to contract negotiations, all the way down to penalty killing systems, the game has changed so much. It got me to thinking about some of the old hockey gurus from the past and how they’d respond to today’s game. First up for me would be George Punch Imlach. The longtime coach and general manager of the Maple Leafs, Punch was the last of a breed of no-nonsense hockey guys who ran his teams with an iron fist. A vocal opponent of the players’ union, Punch had some support from the older guys, but the younger players apparently hated his guts. During his tenure in the sixties, he feuded with ownership and the players, often suspending them for games at a time for the smallest of infractions. Mike Walton walked off the team in 1968 due to Imlach’s tirades. He also fa-
JESSOP’S JOURNAL
With everybody in the of taking Bryan Jessop midst some muchdeserved time off for the holidays, chances are high that you won’t be thumbing through the pages of this week’s edition of The Sun on its actual publication date — Wednesday, Dec. 26. A holiday itself, December 26 — the oft forgotten little cousin of the mighty Christmas — is also known as Boxing Day. With that in mind, I wondered briefly what I should rant about in a column officially dated on Boxing Day. How about boxing? Earlier this month, a serious injury was inflicted upon boxer Adonis Stevenson at Videotron Centre (the wouldbe home of the Quebec Nordiques, if Bettman and his board of directors would ever pull their heads out of their you-know-whats) in Quebec City. Naturally, knee jerk reactions across the globe called for an outright ban on boxing. I disagree with those sentiments wholeheartedly. In this day in age, it seems EVERYBODY wants something banned. Baby It’s Cold Outside has been removed from the playlists of many a radio station. An Albertabased organization of ‘little people’ wants a ban/change on the name for the second eldest age group of minor hockey

mously didn’t get along with his star player, Frank Mahovlich, whom he traded to Detroit in 1968. Imlach’s return in the late seventies had him feuding with captain Darryl Sittler and when he couldn’t move Sittler because of a no-trade clause, he sent his best friend, Lanny McDonald, off to hockey hell in Colorado. So, what do you think Imlach would think of William Nylander’s holdout this season? I’d venture to guess that Willy would be sitting on the bench in Imlach’s world, not to see the ice until several games had passed. Although not a Habs fan, the legendary Toe Blake and his successor, Scotty Bowman, would have a hard time dealing with the millionaires of today taking to the ice. Fred Shero and Harry Sinden would feel the same. Such good old hockey names, aren’t they? Let’s throw in Badger Bob Johnson, Bep Guidolin and Eddie Shore and you’d have a plethora of old fashioned hockey knowledge. All of the metrics in the world can’t replace the score on
RIB’S RAMBLINGS
the scoreboard, which, last time I checked, Mark Ribble was the only stat that counts in the grand scheme of things. Speaking of scoreboards, I’m old enough to remember the old clock at the old Leamington arena. I saw some photos on Facebook of the old ice-resurfacing crew and although that’s a tad before my time, I do remember the clock and the forerunner to the Zamboni, which was a farm tractor equipped with the ice scraping and watering equipment on the back. The clock, however, fascinated me as a child. But that is for another column. They say progress is good and also inevitable. There is always something that comes along that’s better than the previous version. Tell that to the inventor of the mousetrap.
Ultimate rock banned
(midget). Don’t get me started on body checking. I get it — boxing is a sport that is not without its risks and hazards. Serious concussions and neck injuries do happen. I’m the furthest thing from being an expert on the sport, but I’d be willing to bet that EVERY boxer from the most modest levels of amateur competition to the big money professionals who don the gloves in Vegas and Reno know the risks involved. If humanity as a single entity were to ban every sport that is susceptible to serious injury, well, there would be no sports. Think about it — literally every single thing you’ve ever done is performed at one degree of risk or another. Enjoy breathing? You could be inhaling toxic pollutants from a factory a few short kilometres away or the aftermath of a nearby chemical spill you’re not yet aware of. Are you an eater? That latest haul from the grocery store could be tainted with e-coli, Listeriosis or God knows what. Does that mean you should stop doing those things? Obviously not. While boxing (and other sports) aren’t as important as the food we eat, water we drink or the air we breathe, that doesn’t mean a ban should take place every time someone is hurt. For one, an outright ban would only pave the way for illegal ‘underground’ circuits of the targeted sport. In boxing, that would mean no more regulations and equipment that prevent countless concussions, fractures and even deaths.
Those bans don’t seem like such a good idea now, do they? I’ve perused quite a few online articles about “the most dangerous sports” and many of them are based almost entirely on opinions. I found one written (or at least published) by a life insurance company. If anyone should have access to the statistics on sports injury, it would be an insurance company. Anyway, a story posted by Best Choice Life Insurance listed eight of the most dangerous sports across the globe. Boxing did not make the cut. Wanna take a guess at the most dangerous sport in high school and college/university? Football and soccer are up there (football has the highest rate of concussions at 40 per 10,000 players), but Numero Uno is cheerleading. Other sports more dangerous than boxing include (but are not necessarily limited to) cycling, horseback riding, gymnastics and BASE jumping. How many people have openly pondered buying a motorcycle only to hear family members rant and rave about how dangerous it is to ride one? Horseback riders can expect an injury for every 350 hours of riding. Motorcyclists? One injury per 7,000 hours. While I’m not an advocate for outright bans, I certainly offer a big thumbs up for most safety precautions and advancements in any and all recreational activities. You can stay safe without living in a bubble.

UFCW support By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – Businesses and union representatives have once again teamed up to support three local causes. The second annual UFCW Local 175/633 Holiday Food Drive proved an even more successful venture than the first, as a combined sum of 3,900 items arrived at the union’s Erie Street South Leamington office. The fiveweek program began Thursday, Nov. 1 and concluded Friday, Dec. 7 with contributions from several UFCW members and families as well as businesses from across Windsor, Essex County and communities. More than 30 businesses including local grocery stores made donations that have been split between Ronald McDonald House of Windsor and London, Downtown Mission of Windsor and The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource Centre. Workers from the union also stepped forward with items in support of a fellow member who’s family was impacted by a fire that destroyed many of their belongings. “There were a lot of businesses that did a lot to help out,” noted UFCW Local 175/633 Region 5 Leamington office administrator Helene Caine, who noted that some stores in the area set up donation bins to accompany this year’s Holiday Food Drive. “Also, many families stopped by with stuff to donate — we did very well thanks to a lot of very kind and generous people.” Last year, 3,000 items were collected after Caine presented the idea to UFCW 175/633 Region 5 and 7 director Angela Mattioli. Since then, several Local 175/633 representatives have thrown in their support of the now annual program, including president Shawn Haggerty. “He’s a strong believer in the fact that as a union, we need to be involved with our communities, so we’re happy to support these groups,” UFCW spokesperson Tim Deelstra explained as directors and other representatives of the three recipient groups were presented with the donations at the union’s Leamington office. “We’re just overwhelmed by the generosity,” Krista Rempel, Executive Director of The Bridge said. “It’s amazing. This kind of support is important to us — without it, we wouldn’t exist.” Union members who stopped in with donations were given tickets to enter a draw for one of 10 prizes.
Home-schooled students interact with residents at The Meadows of Wheatley. The students do crafts with the seniors and also perform a monthly talent show.
Home-schoolers bridge generational gap
WHEATLEY – Home schooled students from across the Chatham-Kent region gathered recently to share life and laughs with residents at The Meadows of Wheatley, a local retirement residence. At The Meadows, students had the opportunity to polish up their esthetic skills by providing manicures to residents, while others performed in a monthly talent show. The show was produced through the WE Homeschool Group, which boasts members from across ChathamKent, Windsor and Essex County. The group is one of several that frequent the residence, under the direction of General Manager Anne Byrne. Stephanie Pouget, a home- Home-schooler Miranda Pouget amazes schooling mom responsible for the crowd at a talent show at The Meadows of Wheatley with a unique way of facilitating the event, offered playing her guitar. instructions to students when a senior was alone or appeared to be disengaged from activities. The students visited with residents while working with them to create a dazzling Christmas ornament as part of the day’s craft. Perhaps the most compelling displays of talent come from two very adept students, self-taught in their craft. Miranda Pouget stunned the crowd when she manouevered her guitar over her head and onto her back, and began strumming out a tune. Another student, Ada Fryer, described how she learned to play the violin solely by watching YouTube videos.
Pets of the Week
ZOEY
GEORGIA
Zoey is an extremely timid and sweet cat. She loves being pet and having her head scratched. Zoey has no interest in toys and would much rather spend her time lounging around on the couch. She also likes to spend time curled up in your lap if you put her there. Zoey needs time to adjust to new things and needs someone to take it slow with her, so no young kids please.
Georgia is a bit of a cowardly lion. She has a hard time trusting new people and needs another canine friend to help her feel more comfortable. Georgia is looking for a family who will give her the time she needs to trust, with a family dog at home looking for a friend. She hopes you will understand she will never be a social butterfly and will also never be a fan of the limelight. She’d much rather take things nice and slow.

1978 Thunderbird owned by Roger and Gloria Congdon and bought new by Gloria’s father.
1978 Thunderbird in same family 40 years
This story began last month when I was standing in line at Shoppers Drug Mart in Leamington to pick up a prescription. I began chatting to the woman standing next to me, who introduced herself as Gloria Congdon. I quickly discovered that she and her husband Roger are the proud owners of a 1978 Thunder- Bill Sherk bird in the same family since new. And we met in the nick of time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ownership in the final month of 2018. The car was bought new from the Essex Farmers Ford dealership in Essex by Gloria’s father, Nelson F. Shuttleworth, and the sales manager was Ron Shuttleworth, his son. Grant Gay was the general manager at that time. The ownership was changed to Roger Glen Congdon (Gloria’s husband) after the passing of her father in January 1979. The car still looks like new today and the dealer sticker is still on the rear bumper. The Essex Farmers dealership goes back to 1919 when a group of local farmers started a Willys-Overland dealership. In 1926 they switched to Ford. Essex Farmers remained in business with Ford right up to 1982. The 1978 Thunderbird, and the ’77 that preceded it, represent the first time in the history of Thunderbird when the new models were smaller than the previous model. From 1972 to 1976, the Ford Thunderbird rode on a wheelbase of 120.4 inches and weighed 4,808 pounds. The oil embargo of 1973 prompted widespread downsizing in the auto industry as motorists demanded cars with more sensible dimensions and better fuel economy. The new 1977-78 Thunderbirds were a big hit with 900 pounds less weight, a six-inch shorter wheelbase and prices lower by $3,000. Sales skyrocketed. In the last year of the big ‘Bird (’76), only 52,935 were sold. Starting in ’77, sales hit 318,140 and were even higher in 1978 with 333,757 plus 18,994 Diamond Jubilee Coupes to celebrate Ford’s 75th anniversary. Here’s wishing for Roger and Gloria many more years of happy Thunderbird motoring! Plans are now underway for the Third Annual All-Ford Car Show at the historic Essex Railway Station on Friday June 7, 2019, 1-5 p.m. For info, call 519-776-9800.

Essex Power Corp donates to four local food banks
Essex Power Corporation (EPC) has made a monetary and canned food donation to local food banks in Leamington, Amherstburg, Tecumseh and LaSalle. Inspired by its Let’s CAN Hunger Together campaign, where Essex Powerlines customers earned $3,000 for local food banks by signing up for paperless billing, employees of Essex Power banded together to collect additional canned goods and monetary donations. Through employee and corporate donations, an additional $4,200 was raised and donated, totaling $7,200 that was evenly split amongst the four community food banks. EPC employees also collected over 6,000 canned goods that were distributed to the food banks. This is the 8th year that EPC has donated to local food banks within the communities they serve. The recipients of the donation include the Leamington Salvation Army Food Bank. From left to right are EPC employees Amanda Panetta, Brandon Chartier, Chris Carr and Lt. Brad Webster of the Leamington Salvation Army. (Submitted Photo)

Flyers host Lincolns By Bryan Jessop
Before the Leamington Flyers’ last game of the calendar year, two of their players were awarded as the best in the conference at their positions for November. Later that night, they each made a case to repeat for December. The Flyers posted a 3-1 win over the visiting St. Marys Lincolns Thursday, Dec. 20 at Highbury Canco Arena before a crowd of nearly 800 that included several dozen former Flyers for Alumni Day. “They (St. Marys) worked really hard and we got away from our game a bit,” said Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “We didn’t execute as well as we normally do. It was nice to score two on the power play, though. Our penalty kill has been strong all year, but the power play hasn’t. It was nice to see it win us the game tonight.” “It was tough to play back to back with a game that went late into overtime last night,” explained Borgiel. “The guys were a little tired, but they played well in front of me defensively.” Prior to the game against St. Marys, GOJHL Western Conference convenor Mark Tuck presented Defenseman and Goaltender Players of the Month honours for the month of November to McKibbon and Borgiel, respectively. Through November, McKibbon accumulated eight points in nine games while Borgiel went undefeated at 6-0-0 with a goals against average of 1.833. On Wednesday, Dec. 19, the Flyers suffered a 3-2 overtime loss against the hosting London Nationals. Leamington’s next home game will be played Thursday, Jan. 3 at 7:10 p.m. against the St. Thomas Stars.
From left to right, HL Tiessen Foundation board members Glenn Sellick, Greg Tiessen, Irene Collard, Hugo Tiessen and Linda Tiessen present a cheque of $20,000 divided between Erie Shores Health Foundation (represented by Christine Colautti), the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners (represented by Michelle McCormick), The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place (repressented by John Moran), the Leamington Mennonite Home (represented by Henry Hildebrandt) and UMEI Christian High School (represented by John Krueger). Half of the amount was donated by 75 local businesses and individuals while Tiessen Financial contributed the other $10,000.
Five local groups share $20,000 donation By Bryan Jessop
Milestone birthdays are often greeted by a wave of receiving, but for Tiessen Financial, it was an opportunity to do some significant giving. In celebration of the Leamington business’s 40th anniversary, a new foundation was formed that kicked off its existence with a $20,000 donation shared between five local groups. Recipients were the Erie Shores Health Foundation, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners, The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place, Leamington Mennonite Home and UMEI Christian High School. The donations were split nearly evenly between the five groups, with half of the funds donated by Tiessen Financial and the other half by a gathering of 75 local businesses and individuals. Most of the donations made to the HL Tiessen Foundation were given during a summer 40th anniversary celebration for Tiessen Financial at Oxley Estates Winery. The foundation was formed in February of this year and is chaired by Linda Tiessen. Board members include Hugo Tiessen, Greg Tiessen, Glenn Sellick, Irene Collard and Elizabeth Campbell.

“This is something we want to do every year,” explained Hugo, who founded Tiessen Financial from his home in 1978. “We like the idea of supporting local charities with some year-end giving.” After the first two years of operation, the Leamingtonbased business moved to a new location at 75 Erie St. South in 1980. It remained there for about a decade before relocating to its current address at 243 Erie St. South. As the 40th anniversary drew near, the Tiessen family decided that charitable donations rather than receiving gifts would be the ideal means of honouring the occasion. Most of the 75 donations offered to the HL Tiessen Foundation were given during the reception at Oxley Estates, attended by about 240 guests. Invitations distributed to those who attended included requests for charitable donations in lieu of gifts. Hugo explained that he’d like to see another outdoor setting for next year’s event, which he hopes will again surpass the attendance mark of 200 while offering food and musical entertainment. Next year’s charitable reception will be held in support of five new recipients, to be considered for selection by the foundation’s board members.

KDHS hockey vs. Essex
Austin Severino of the Cavaliers avoids a fallen Essex defenseman as he tries to cut inward toward the Red Raiders’ net during the first period of a WECSSAA Tier I boys hockey game at the Kingsville Arena Complex Wednesday, Dec .19. The Red Raiders bounced back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game, but couldn’t keep up with the hosts’ offense in what ended as a 7-2 win for Kingsville. Cavaliers goals were scored by Alex Riddiford, Severino, Koen Taves, Ethan Litster, Ryan Mucha and Declan Handley with two. The win improved Kingsville’s record to 4-1-1, good for third place in the seven-team Cullen Conference. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Mark Grabb
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” The family of Mark Jonathan Grabb is deeply saddened to say goodbye to the one we loved so much. Mark passed away with grace and dignity in the arms of his loved one on Wednesday, December 19, 2018, at the age of 68, following a prolonged struggle with Lewy Body Dementia. Mark was an adventurer, he loved to travel and explore. He was always ready for a new path, especially if it involved his devoted wife Erika, golf and good food. Mark’s greatest passion was the life he shared with her, his ever-faithful canine companion Louie, and their family. His love of travel led him to become a geography teacher with the GECDSB. He was very passionate about his teaching and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for the welfare of his students. Mark was a mentor, role model and friend to those whom he worked with and played with throughout his life. Mark started his teaching career in 1975 at Leamington District Secondary School, followed by his beloved General Amherst High School from 1980-2000, occasionally leaving to serve as Vice Principal at various high schools. He completed his career as principal at his alma mater, Kingsville District High School. He was past president of Erie Shores Golf and Country Club and his passion for the game awarded him with 3 holes in one. Mark was a gentleman who lived with decency and integrity. He treated everyone with humour and respect. We are heartbroken, yet thankful, that the good Lord called him home and released him from his suffering. Beloved husband of Erika Grabb (Machner). Loved stepfather of Melanie Israel (Michael), Jonathan LeMire and David LeMire (Jessica) of South Carolina. Treasured Gramps of Meagan and Hailey Israel, and Everett and Calvin LeMire (South Carolina). Son of the late Boris and Joyce Grabb, and son-in-law of the late Katharina and Ferdinand Machner. Much loved brother of Celeste (Randy) Traubert and their children Laura and Bryan (Alexandra), Chris (Leslie) Grabb of Manitoulin Island and their children Kevin and Ian (Jen), and April Grabb. The family would like to thank the staff of 3 East at Sun Parlor Home for their years of compassionate care for Mark, Erika and Louie. Visiting is at the Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) on Friday, December 28, 2018 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., at which time the family will begin a celebration of Mark’s life with words of faith, sharing of memories, stories, and a few refreshments.

Novice Red enters first tourney of the season
The Southpoint Community Trophies Novice Red team entered their first tournament of the season. It was a great learning experience. They played three games on Saturday, Dec. 15, the first of which was against one of the eventual finalists, Windsor Black. Neither team scored in the first, but there was a lot of movement end-to-end. Windsor scored the opening goal near the end of the second and scored again 3 minutes into the third. Sean Amaral put Red on the scoreboard when he intercepted the puck at the Windsor blue line, carried it in and scored.
Midway through the third, Windsor scored twice more in a 30-second span. This was followed by Gavin Butineillo putting in an errant puck in front of the Windsor net. Sean assisted on the goal. The first game finished 4-2 for Windsor. The second game matched Community Trophies against Windsor White. Windsor scored in the first minute but the Southpoint team tied it up 30 seconds later on a Connor Rumble/Anastacio rush down the ice. By the middle of the second, Windsor had scored 3 more goals to take a com-
manding 4-1 lead. At that point, Southpoint took over. Connor scored his second goal on a rush down the ice. This was followed by a London Hildebrand goal on an end-to-end rush. London set up the final goal of the period when he stole the puck at centre, carried it in and shot, and Sean put in the rebound. With the game tied going into the third, Southpoint took the lead for the first time on a goal by Gavin, assisted by London. Unfortunately Windsor picked up two goals in the dying minutes to win 6-5. Southpoint hoped to turn things around in the third
game. They came out strong and rookie player Darius Quiring scored his first goal. The assist went to Connor, who then scored a goal on a rush from his blue line. Windsor came back in the second to tie it up. In the third, Sean Amaral scored to give Community Trophy the lead and the win. The boys played one more game, the quarter-final match against Windsor Black. Things did not start out well with Black scoring 50 seconds into the game and then again with less than a minute left in the first. Southpoint was playing one of their best games, but they just weren’t able to capitalize on opportunities. In the second the Caps were able to score three goals. Connor picked up the first on a rush. Reid Charles took a shot on net which the Windsor goalie fumbled and London put the rebound away. The third goal went to Gavin on a scramble in front of the net. Southpoint had a 3-2 lead. Windsor tied it up early in the third and scored once more late in the game to win 4-3 and advance to the semis. MVPs for the games were Ty Gould for a great job backstopping for the team, Connor Rumble/Anastacio for good two-way play, and Carter Kretschmann for his solid defensive play. The Community Trophy team played hard and did well considering three games were played with eight skaters. A lot of the play involves individual effort and the players will have to start working on more of a coordinated team effort.
KDHS girls hockey team faces Essex
It was a fast and furious game at the Kingsville Arena on Dec. 12. In a game versus Essex, the Kingsville District High School Cavaliers came back on two occasions to result in a 2-2 tie when the curfew buzzer sounded. Goals were scored by S. Coristine and P. Stomp, with K. Sim in net. Pictured, Kingsville’s Sophie Coristine races to the Essex net.

Cougars nip Lions
Peewee Stars shut out Predators
By Bryan Jessop
The margin of victory was narrower the second time around, but the Cardinal Carter Cougars remained undefeated against their LDSS rivals. For the second time in six days, Leamington District Secondary School and Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School met at Unico Arena in WECSSAA Tier II boys’ hockey action. The Cougars held on for a 3-2 victory Tuesday, Dec. 18 to compliment the 5-0 win they earned against the Lions December 12. The victory vaulted the Cougars into first place with a 4-1-1 record in the five-team division, a single point ahead of the 4-2-0 Massey Mustangs. “We didn’t expect to see the same score as last week,” explained Cougars head coach Ryan Coristine. “This is a pretty tight league all around. Today’s game could have went either way — their goalie (Satchel Brouwer) played great and made some big saves.” “It was a much better effort today,” Lions co-coach Butch Rickeard noted in comparison to the 5-0 loss from the previous week. “Our goal for this game was to tighten up defensively and we accomplished that. Now, we’ve just got to be more aggressive with the puck.” Cardinal Carter’s offense took control for most of the first period, although it was LDSS that struck first. Kaleb Tiessen took a successful swing at a knee-high rebound from the left side of Adam Zylstra’s net after a save was made from a Kiel Reid shot about six minutes into the game. The Cougars drew even while the teams played four-onfour hockey with players serving staggered penalties. An ice level Gerrin Church shot with just over two minutes to go took a deflection before sliding over the goal line for a 1-1 tie with an assist going to Colin Smith. Leamington managed a successful five-on-three penalty kill that ran a minute and 37 seconds starting late in the opening frame. Officially the visiting team, the Lions managed to close down shooting lanes through most of the second, although a pass to the front of the net by Kanaan Gale was tapped home by Camron Taouil to give the Cougars a 2-1 lead. A second assist went to Alex Demers. The match went scoreless for nearly another 15 minutes before a display of patience by Jason Daraiche produced the game winner. Starting at the right side of the Leamington net, he slid across the crease and held on to the puck until Brouwer committed. From there, Daraiche went ice
The Southpoint Peewee Stars welcomed the South County Amherstburg Predators to the Unico Rink on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 16. The Stars controlled the play for most of the game; however, they could not solve the Predator goaltender. This game ended in a 0-0 tie, even though the Stars outshot South County. Stars goalie Shelby Wiebe made several key saves to get the shutout.

level into the net’s left side, assisted by Colton Ippolitti. Leamington pulled to within a goal on a jaunt by Mason Cabral that began near his own blue line. Winning a one-on-one race with a Cardinal Carter defenseman, he flipped the puck over a sprawling Zylstra to make it 3-2. The Lions pulled Brouwer for the extra skater in the final seconds, but could not come up with an equalizer. The Cougars’ next game will take place Monday, Jan. 14 in Windsor against Massey. The Lions played an outdoor game at Lanspery Park in Windsor against the Mustangs Wednesday, Dec. 19, where they lost in a score of 6-3. Leamington’s next game will be on the road Tuesday, Jan. 8 against Riverside.

Photos from Kingsville-Gosfield Heritage Society 1790-2000 A Stroll Through Time Left - By the late 19th century Kingsville had developed a healthy, vibrant and economically successful retail sector that catered to both residents and tourists. This photo of the south side of Main Street looking towards the intersection of Division and Main Streets, taken in the early 1900s, symbolizes the economic vigour experienced within Kingsville during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Right - The inside of Leggett’s store shows a crowded display of his wares. A simple table layout draws attention to a wide range of magazines. It is interesting to note that Cosmopolitan and Field and Stream were available then. A rack of postcards can be seen behind the publications. At the front of the store flanking each side, inside their “silent salesmen” cases, is the plentiful array of penny candy, chocolate bars and chewing gum.
A Look at Leamington’s Past courtesy of C. Scott Holland Left - December 1994: The fury of the wind is often felt along the Lake Erie shoreline. In this early December 1994 photo, the powerful waves are seen battering the Leamington dock and its restaurant. Right - December 2001: It was a sad day for many local citizens as the original Leamington Recreation and Agricultural Centre building was demolished. The Erie St. N. land was sold and a restaurant was later built on the site.
Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, December 1988 Poster Winners - At the December meeting of the Wheatley Lions Club a number of area elementary students were rewarded for their poster work. The posters were in support of the local drug awareness program the Lions Club promotes each year. Each student picked as a poster winner received $25 from the Lions.

Sharks fall to Flyers
By Bryan Jessop
Sharks goalie Catalin Morin pokes the puck out of harm’s way before the Flyers’ Tyler Clarke can reach it during the first period of a Wednesday, Dec. 19 Stobbs Division game at Wheatley Area Arena. The Sharks lost 5-2.
In a game featuring the Stobbs Division’s two most penalized teams, it turned out to be the Wheatley Omstead Sharks who would have been well advised to stay out of the box. The eighth-place Petrolia Flyers delivered the home team a 5-2 loss, bringing Wheatley’s record to 12-150-2. Petrolia scored once on the power play, once with
six skaters during a delayed penalty and once immediately after the Sharks finished serving a two-minute minor to help seal the win. The Sharks’ offense had more than it’s share of scoring chances in the first, but headed into the dressing room for the first intermission down 3-1. Will O’Leary Delosa of the Flyers opened the scoring just prior to the six-minute mark after one-timing a pass from

behind the Wheatley net a second after the home team killed off a tripping infraction. Parker Boyle tied the game for the hosts with an ice level redirect of the puck in the crease during a Sharks’ power play. Delaney MacDonald was credited with an assist. The Flyers buried the next two less than two minutes apart, starting with a Ryan Duncan blast into the top left corner of Catalin Morin’s net. With about 35 seconds to go, Shane Boelens sent a shot through traffic for a twogoal lead several seconds after the referee raised his hand to indicate an impending Sharks penalty. Wheatley’s situation didn’t improve any in the second, where the Flyers potted two more. Petrolia’s defense continued to block shots and clear its zone quickly while Morin was replaced by Tristan Edmondson following goals by Tyler Clark and Zach VanEyk. The Flyers went mostly into a defensive, clockkilling mode in the final frame. The Sharks struggled to create scoring chances, but outshot the visitors 12-7. The only tally of the last 20 minutes flew off the stick off Mitch Lantin as the timer clicked down to 27 seconds. From the point, Lantin took a pass from team point leader Braedon Caetano and sent a wrist shot past Chaska Thiel and into the top left shelf. Petrolia outshot the Sharks 34-33 and officially went one for two on the man advantage while the Sharks were one for three. Edmondson stopped each of the 14 shots he faced. “It doesn’t matter what you do, without the effort it’s all for naught,” explained Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale. “We haven’t played well against anyone in three weeks. Edmondson did a good job — he’d have given us a chance if we could have hit the net.” The night before the home game versus Petrolia, the Sharks visited Essex. The first-place 73’s posted a 5-0 win to hand Wheatley its fifth shutout loss of the season. Results from the Sharks’ Saturday, Dec. 22 home game against the Wallaceburg Lakers were not available prior to the advanced holiday press deadline. Wheatley’s next home game will be played Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 7:30 p.m. against the Amherstburg Admirals.

Peewee Minors earn well-deserved tie
The first half of the season is drawing near for the Southpoint Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor team. After a grueling struggle through the schedule against all of the local AA teams, the past few games have been more of a “fair fight”, so to speak. After a win against Amherstburg, the Caps headed into a game against Erie North Shore on Tuesday night, Dec. 11. Erie hit the board first at the 3:03 mark of the first period. Less than a minute later they increased their lead to 2-0. At 14:42 in the second, Colton Selwood got Southpoint on the board, unassisted, cutting the Erie lead in half. However, before the second period ended, Erie boosted it to a difference of two once again. Heading into the third, Colton Selwood struck again, unassisted, and the game was heating up. Erie would not back down and scored again at the 8:30 mark, but with just under 3 minutes left in the period, Max Youssef again cut the lead to one, assisted by Colton Selwood and Tyler Franklin. It seemed like Erie would take it home as the clock ran down under a minute, until Christopher McLean chipped home a rebound shot from Liam Ouellette and Dayne DiMilo with just 5.2 seconds left on the clock. A well deserved tie! The Caps are now on a break for the holidays, but are sure to return to the ice ready to play. On behalf of the entire team of coaches, players, siblings, and parents, the Southpoint Peewee Minor team wishes everyone a fantastic holiday season!
