Two new BIA grants to help beautify uptown By Sheila McBrayne
LEAMINGTON – The Leamington Uptown BIA has teamed up with local businesses to help police fight crime in the uptown core. The BIA has created grant funding to help businesses purchase outside surveillance cameras. The Leamington Uptown BIA will help cover the cost of purchasing and installing security cameras or upgrading/adding to your existing system. The grant will cover 50% of the project cost up to a project total of $1,500 ($750 grant). This is a pilot project with limited funding available. “We took it upon ourselves to sit down with the police and asked them, ‘How can we help you?’ And their response was, ‘cameras’,” stated Leamington Uptown BIA co-ordinator Kelly Baillargeon. In the first two months of the program, five businesses have used the grant and installed cameras. The BIA expects to dramatically increase the number of street-facing and alleyway cameras available to the police to help deter unwanted activity. “The police have already used the cameras outside the Leamington Art Gallery to make an arrest of stolen bikes,” said Baillargeon. “We’re giving police a map of cameras with the understanding they release footage to police on request,” said Baillargeon.
UPLIFT BEAUTIFICATION GRANT
The BIA also created a new UpLIFT grant to help beautify and improve BIA members’ building facades. Property owners or business owners submit a proposal to the Leamington BIA Board of Directors outlining the façade improvements. BIA members are eligible to apply for this grant once a year (as project funding allows). The proposal must include pictures of before the work and after the work is completed. After-pictures must be submitted before the grant is paid. Projects are eligible to receive 50% of the cost of the improvement up to a maximum of $500. For more information on these two grant programs go to the BIA website at leamingtonbia.com

Wednesday, November 14, 2018 Kingsville Public School Grade 7 students and their teachers ended up with a rather blustery day to show off the most southern tip of Canada to their Chinese guests. A principal and two teachers from Nong Da Fu Xiao primary school in Beijing, China, spent a week observing local schools and touring the area. On Wednesday, Nov. 7 the group headed to Point Pelee and took time out for a photo at the tip. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Kingsville P.S. plays host to principal and teachers from Beijing By Pat Bailey
KINGSVILLE – Educational exchanges provide a real opportunity to learn outside the classroom and, in fact, outside the country. And they’re not just for students anymore. Just ask James Cowper, Kingsville Public School principal. Cowper is not new to exchanges — he has participated in two so far. As an educator, Cowper believes exchanges offer an insight that can only be achieved by witnessing the learning process firsthand. Cowper’s school was sistered with Nong Da Fu Xiao (NDFX) in Beijing, China, through the Reciprocal Learning Program, a joint research study between OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education) and the University of Windsor. The principal said on his visits he attended schools in Beijing and Chongquing, cities that are home to some 65 million people. He said there were some differences in the classroom, including the number of students per class — here about 28, there about 40.
“What I did notice clearly though,” said Cowper, “is that kids are kids.” He said when he visited China, the students wanted him “What I to read and write in English for them, did notice clearly while the students at though is that kids his schools wanted are kids.” the guests to read and write in Chinese. – KPS Principal “Curious, interested James Cowper and hungry for learning on both sides of the planet,” he added. Last week, Cowper was on the other end of the exchange — he played host. Principal Zhao and English teachers Mei Mei and Tomin paid a return trip to Kingsville Public School to experience education from the student’s point of view. Cowper said he believes his Chinese counterparts will take away just how collaborative the learning environment is in the Canadian educational system and how much auton-
omy our teachers and students have in the learning process. “Up to now,” he said, “we have only been able to talk about this process with our sister school.” But, he said, having them visit KPS, Jack Miner, Kingsville District High School and Tecumseh Vista Academy would provide a unique experience to the Chinese educators. While the focus was on the educational system, the group also had a chance to visit Canada’s most southerly point at Point Pelee and watch a hockey game. With the trio just visiting from Tuesday to Thursday, Cowper said they squeezed in as much as they could. Cowper is an advocate of the exchange program and the fact that it brings world culture into the local schools and classrooms. “We want our children to have knowledge and experiences with other ways of living and learning so that they can respect and understand their own communities,” said Cowper, “as well as those that may appear on the surface as quite different.” “At KPS we look for experiences that will put into question what we think we already know,” added Cowper, “so we can emerge with a deeper understand of others and ourselves.”

Brace yourselves, here comes winter! As the first traces of snow have reached the Sun Parlour, some of us sigh with disappointment, while others get excited for the upcoming winter. Still others launch into tirades befitting that of Mr. Parker in A Christmas Story, channelling their best Darren McGavin impression. I loved snow as a kid and couldn’t figure out why my mother hated winter so much. It probably had something to do with being so isolated down at Point Pelee in the final years of our stay there. They lived there from about 1949 until we moved in the summer of 1974, so I’m sure she had her fill of snowfall inside that park. Quite often, the roads were impassable for a day or two until the park staff got them cleared. As I’ve progressed (or digressed) into adulthood, I’ve grown to despise the fluffy white stuff, mainly because I have to drive in it. My eight years commuting back and forth from Tecumseh to Leamington probably did that to me. There were some nights when I wondered if I was actually going to make it
home. That dismay was compounded by worrying about my kids commuting too, in the opposite direction, when they attended college and university. My oldest still commutes to this day for his job. I guess snow for me depends on the application, so to speak. Next week at this time, I’ll be 600 miles north of here, hunkered down in the northern Ontario forest, so it can snow all it wants while I’m up there. In fact, snow is beneficial to us deer hunters. I just don’t enjoy the drive up there or back, if we get caught in a blizzard. Last year, we had the drive from hell on the way up. When we left Wheatley at midnight, it was clear and cold. When we stopped for gas in Barrie, I noticed some ice pellets beginning to fall on the truck hood. The following six hours were treacherous to drive in, with icy conditions and white-out snowfall around Parry Sound. We arrived in Espanola about three hours later than usual, where the grass was still green. Apparently the snow missed
the northern shore of Lake Huron all together, while hitting the eastern shore like gangbusters. This is a common occurrence, according to the Mark Ribble locals. Back home, we didn’t get much in the way of snowfall that weekend. I came home to green grass and Deb had the tree up, so all was good with the world. So as I sit here, hoping that Mother Nature is gentle with us this winter, I secretly hope for a white Christmas for the grandkids. I’d like to take them out on a toboggan at some point, just not in three feet of snow. That’s not asking for much, is it?

letters to the editor
Family grateful for excellent care at ESHC Editor, On October 26, paramedics were called to our house to assess my 94-year-old mother who had been experiencing a deep hoarse coughing for two days. They did all necessary diagnostics and thought it best she be taken to hospital for further care. We lived in Windsor for 65 years and just recently moved to Amherstburg. When the ambulance attendants said they would be transporting her to Leamington, we were a bit shaken, thinking of the logistics necessary to coordinate family visiting and personal daily care. Two children are in Amherstburg, one in Windsor and the other in Macomb, Michigan. And to be honest, we were also concerned with the quality of care she would receive at a smaller county facility. Since the day she was admitted, our concerns have been needless! She was first placed in a private room near the nurses station until lab tests determined nature of pathogen. She has since been moved twice to rooms more accommodating to her improved condition and free up the room for

other patients in need. The nursing staff in all three rooms have been absolutely wonderful! The daily administering of meds, checking vitals, answering patient room calls, assisting in lavatory functions, ensuring patient hygiene, vigilant watch of elderly issues (bedsores, dry skin, dehydration, confusion, etc.), and even more impressive is the info recording to ensure continuity flow for next scheduled staff. All of these functions and many more have been performed on a timely basis. But above all, their compassionate gentle nature has more than once calmed the anxieties of a 94-year-old woman unused to a prolonged hospital stay. The support staff consisting of nurse practitioner, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists and dietician have been accessible and always willing to answer questions and address concerns. Nurse practitioner Gina is always available to discuss daily progress and course of action. She keeps us updated on any med changes, treatment, etc.
The dietician had breakfast with my mother to personally assess her dysphagia function and dental issues to better facilitate nutrition intake. The physiotherapist gave us a detailed checklist of functions to perform in the evening to continue muscle movement therapy. Even the security staff was most helpful in assisting me in getting to my mother’s room, due to compromised mobility. The volunteers that bring water, making sure an elderly person has eaten, delivering treats/reading material, or just asking how you are doing, have been wonderful making sure nobody is lonely or neglected. The bottom line is this smaller county hospital, Erie Shores HealthCare, has been thorough in the assessment and treatment of my mother. It is a well-coordinated facility whereby all parts work together providing efficient, effective and compassionate healthcare. – Forever Grateful, Carlesimo Family

VERY IMPORTANT MEETING!
It was a group project slated to make life a little easier for both staff and residents of the Erie Shores Hospice Campus. Rotary Clubs from Leamington, Essex and Amherstburg worked together to purchase a $12,000 bathing chair for the residence. Michelle Parker, Erie Shores Residential Home Coordinator, praised the group for their efforts in purchasing the chair that now makes bathing more comfortable for the residents, as well as allows the task to be performed by one staff member. Parker said the chair is also beneficial for using the washroom and changing dressings. Showing off the new piece of equipment are, left to right: John Sutton of the Amherstburg Rotary Club, Julie Ricci of the Essex Rotary Club, Michelle Parker, Residential Home Coordinator at Erie Shores Hospice, Jim Wallace of the Essex Rotary Club, and Charlene Houle of the Leamington Rotary Club.

Outgoing County Council members say goodbye, By Ron Giofu
ESSEX COUNTY – The 2014-18 term of Essex County Council wrapped up with the final meeting of the term being held Wednesday, November 7. The five outgoing members said farewell, while other members that are returning offered thanks to administration, fellow County Council members and Warden Tom Bain. It was also the last meeting as warden for Bain, although he is returning to Essex County Council for the 2018-22 term as the mayor of Lakeshore. Saying goodbye were Leamington Mayor John Paterson, Amherstburg Deputy-Mayor Bart DiPasquale, LaSalle Mayor Ken Antaya, Essex Mayor Ron McDermott and Lakeshore Deputy-Mayor Al Fazio. DiPasquale, Antaya and McDermott are retiring from politics, while Paterson and Fazio were not successful in their re-election bids. Paterson recalled his early days on County Council when he was told to take his Leamington hat off and wear a county hat instead. He noted he “There were brought up questions that may have gone against the status quo, but did so for the benefit of the battles at points, county, adding he never felt a “negative vibe” but when we were from anyone for doing so. done, we were He also recalled the times when the county was unified, including when meeting with mindone.” isters from upper levels of government on issues. – John Paterson McDermott got choked up at points during his farewell address, thanking his community for his 15 years of service. He also thanked his deputy-mayor, Richard Meloche, who McDermott said has been there the entire 15 years with him. Meloche will be returning to County Council next term. “The staff is unbelievable,” McDermott said of the county’s administration, and also expressed thanks to his colleagues and Bain. The returning members to Essex County Council include both Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos and Deputy-Mayor Gord Queen, and Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara and Deputy-Mayor Joe Bachetti. Amherstburg Mayor Aldo DiCarlo will be returning as well. Hilda MacDonald and Marc Bondy will also be returning, but will be moving up from deputy-mayor to mayor in Leamington and LaSalle respectively. MacDonald noted she was the only female member of County Council these last four years, but said she was treated equally and with respect during the term. She thanked Bain for making her feel welcome and comfortable. “You treated me well,” said MacDonald, who will be one of three women on the next Essex County Council.

Local veteran in national documentary By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – The experiences of a local military veteran have officially been chronicled by a national project released earlier this fall. In early October this year, Historica Canada made a documentary known as Record of Service available to the public as part of an ongoing program known as The Memory Project. The video features the accounts of 15 Canadian military veterans including Leamington’s MWO (Ret.) William Wilson. Having served with the Canadian Armed Forces from 1988 to 2009, Wilson began working with The Memory Project — a bureau of more than 1,500 veterans and Canadian Forces members — about five years ago, offering presentations to local schools and community organizations on his own military experiences. Having spoken to classes of various grades in elementary and secondary schools including W.F. Herman Secondary School, Catholic Central, Holy Name Elementary School and East Mersea Public School, Wilson was later asked to document some of his experience for the Record of Service DVD. His session was recorded in January of this year and was edited to
a length of about 24 minutes. Copies can be ordered through the website www. thememoryproject.com. Wilson, now on the board of directors for the Kingsville Historical Park Museum, explained that Record of Service is being used as educational resource material for high schools across Canada. The video presents the experiences of Canadian military personnel from WWII, the Korean War, Cold War, peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan.
“It’s a very interesting video collection that they’ve created.” — MWO (Ret.) William Wilson
“I’ve watched a few of them and they’re quite good,” Wilson said of excerpts he’s seen thus far from the other 14 participants in the video. “It’s a very interesting video collection that they’ve created.” Wilson, who normally goes by “Bill,” first signed on for basic training in 1988 and has since served in globally-known regions of conflict including Soma-
lia (1993), Rwanda (1994), Bosnia (2000) and Afghanistan (2002). He served as a medic on each of his deployments minus a NATO mission circumnavigating Africa in 2007 aboard the HMCS Toronto, where he was a Physician Assistant — the same duties he takes on with his current career at the Met campus of Windsor Regional Hospital in Internal Medicine. During his segment of the video, Wilson discusses memories of Somalia, Rwanda and Afghanistan. As a senior medic, he was on site when four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight injured by U.S. ‘friendly fire’ during a nighttime training assignment in Afghanistan. For his actions immediately following the incident, he received a Commendation. Wilson also appeared in Truth, Duty, Valour — a documentary that includes footage of the HMCS Toronto’s circumnavigation of Africa. Although the vessel did not encounter highjackers or pirates that were wreaking havoc at the time (2007), the crew did perform a mid night rescue after receiving a Yemen distress signal. Along with 10 others, Wilson was dispatched on smaller boats to seek survivors of a volcano eruption. The group recovered two

bodies and rescued one man who had been treading water for about 20 hours. “It was an event that really brought the ship together,” Wilson said. “It was quite an experience. We practiced for threats on the ship quite often. There was never a dull moment.” Wilson strongly recommends that area residents visit the Kingsville Historical Park Museum at 145 Division St. South, near Legion Branch 188. “There’s a lot of great stuff there. It’s a real hidden gem,” he explained.
Retired military medic William Wilson of Leamington visited a class at East Mersea Public School as part of Historica Canada’s ongoing Memory Project, a program where Canadian military veterans share their stories with schools and community organizations across the country.

At this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony, an estimated 250 to 300 people crowded shoulder to shoulder around Wheatley Cenotaph on Talbot Street West on Sunday, Nov. 11 to pay their respects 100 years after Armistice Day called for the end to WWI. The ceremony, led and organized by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 324, welcomed guests with temperatures hovering just below the freezing mark. Although this year’s Remembrance Day fell on a Sunday, the traditional services were well attended by area residents of virtually all ages. “There was a good turnout of youth considering there was no school today,” noted Wheatley Royal Canadian Legion president Bill Robertson. “We’re always thankful to the community for its showing of support on Remembrance Day — we always seem to get a good crowd here.” Marking the 100th anniversary of the original Armistice Day, “We’re always organizing committee thankful to the members from Branch community for its 324 invited the Windsor showing of support on Regiment and WindRemembrance Day — sor Regiment marching we always seem to get band to attend services a good crowd here.” for 2018. With a repre— Bill sentative of the WheatRobertson ley Legion’s Colour Party a sibling to one of the Windsor Regiment marching band’s members, a direct invitation was extended to take part in the short parade from the Erie Street North Legion to the cenotaph and back. “They were happy to come and we welcomed them with open arms,” explained Robertson, who stated that many in attendance would like to see the Windsor Regiment return for future Remembrance Day ceremonies in Wheatley. Windsor Regiment, an artillery unit, sent a contingent of about 80 soldiers and its band. The group gathered at the intersection of Omstead Drive and Erie Street North, and from there marched south to join Wheatley Legion members and Colour Party for the annual parade to the cenotaph. Services were emceed by Legion padre David Derbyshire and included volleys from a rifle party, a moment of silence, and laying of the wreaths. At 5:13 p.m., about 20 attended a second gathering at the cenotaph where a recording of 100 bells were played as part of the nationwide Bells of Peace program to mark one century since Armistice Day. Meanwhile in Leamington, the International Hotel organized a benefit attended by the Wheatley Legion Colour Party. The event was a fundraiser for the Wounded Warriors Canada program, where $1 from each drink sale was donated in support of Canadian ill and injured Armed Forces veterans. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., three bands performed free of charge. The son of Kim and the late Noel Berthelot — owners of the International Hotel — is an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Kingsville Legion’s Colour Party led the parade to the Cenotaph for the annual Remembrance Day Service.
ABOVE - Hundreds turned out to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 188 on Remembrance Day to honour the veterans both past and present, and to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice. Following the parade to the Cenotaph on the grounds at Kingsville Legion, a solemn service was held to remember those who sacrificed, and those who continue to sacrifice, for our freedom. A moment of silence was held and the roll call of the fallen soldiers was read. There was also a release of peace birds before the laying of wreaths by local groups and individuals. The Kingsville District High School Band actively participated in the day’s ceremony. Pictured, the Colour Party and Honour Guards stand by the Cenotaph as the peace birds were released.

Cardinal Carter honours military veterans By Bryan Jessop
On the rain-soaked front grounds and from the dry, warmer conditions indoors, Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary and Middle Schools continue to honour Canada’s military service personnel. Students from Grades 7 to 12 paid tribute to Canadian Armed Forces personnel both past and present Friday, Nov. 9 with a ceremony in the high school’s gymnasium. Meanwhile, from a platform set up near the CCCSS front entrance, trios of middle school students took turns paying their respects by standing at attention and in silence for 30 minutes at a time. The outdoor tribute was performed on a volunteer basis for CCCMS Grade 8 pupils starting at 8 a.m. and concluding at 5 p.m. The tradition has taken place on Remembrance Day or the prior school day closest to
Cardinal Carter Middle School Grade 8 students Nathan Sauve, Gabby Quenneville and A.J.

since the middle school was formed in 2016. This year, all Grade 8 students volunteered to take part. “It’s something they all genuinely wanted to do,” explained CCCMS teacher David Kostanjevec. “The kids really seem to understand the importance of the day (Remembrance Day). Every year, they always seem to get a lot out of it. It generates something that everybody feels.” Also in honour of Remembrance Day, the Community Living/Construction classes of Ted Wigfield decorated the high school’s lobby with poppies and other tributes to Canada’s military veterans.

Penpals for 57 years! From Paris to Leamington... By Sheila McBrayne
LEAMINGTON – Aline Levesque of Leamington and Nelly de LaLonde of Paris, France, started writing each other when they were 13 years old. The two penpals turned 70 this year and have maintained their 57-year long-distance friendship. “It’s not often you can keep in touch with someone this long,” said Levesque about her longtime friend. “She was an only child and travelled a lot with her parents and by herself. She always sent pictures and postcards from her vacations. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, so this was my entertainment,” said Levesque. The two shared drawings and letters, which Levesque has kept in a pink binder over the years. “We shared a love for fashion, of course, and she’s in Paris,” said Levesque. With the invention of email and Facebook, the two have stopped writing letters but keep in touch even more. “I still send handwritten Christmas cards,” said Levesque. De LaLonde and Levesque met in person once in Miami about 30 years ago. Last year, Levesque’s good friends, brothers Rob and Mike Makhlouf, were in Paris and met up with de LaLonde for dinner. The encounter enticed de LaLonde to make the trip to see her penpal and the Makhloufs this year. “It’s exciting to have her here,” said Levesque. De LaLonde and her mother Reneé arrived on November 7 and spent the week visiting, sightseeing and enjoying many dinners. “They have been over the moon and just love how friendly everyone is,” said Levesque. The wind and rain on Wednesday caused havoc with their hair, so Levesque called last minute to her hairdresser, Jill Hammond-Taouill, who not only fit them in, but also refused to take their money. “She said ‘welcome to Canada’. Everyone has been so great. They love Leamington,” said Levesque. The three ladies stopped in at Lakeside Bakery for lunch and were surprised when storeowner Danielle Grossi came to their table and spoke in French. The Paris ladies do not speak much English, so the French conversation was much appreciated. “Their first trip to Leamington has been spectacular,” said Levesque.

November 11, 1986: One of the last Remembrance Day ceremonies held at the former cenotaph site on Talbot St. W., in front of the First Baptist Church, featured approximately 100 veterans as well as a large crowd of citizens, including school children. The ceremony to honour those who paid the supreme sacrifice was led by Leamington Legion Branch 84.
November 1974: Work progressed smoothly on the realignment of John St. at Erie St. N. The $32,000 project had an expected December completion date. Plans included the development of a small park on the former street right-of-way.
Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, November 1988 Each year before November 11th, a Legion delegation visits the three area public schools to deliver a message with the Remembrance Day theme. At Wheatley Area Public School a full program was developed by teacher John Taylor to include prayer, music, poetry, stage settings and honour guards before the assembly heard comments from Legion representatives, Len Lamb and Innes Dibbley. The honour guards and several other members of the program are front, left to right: Aaron Matthews, Scott Chronheimer (replica of 1812 uniform), Liz Teronoey, Brad Walker, Nicole Jackson and John Teichroeb (wearing uniform which belonged to Innes Dibbley and worn by him in the service). Rear row: Len Lamb, Darrick Lamb, John Taylor, and Innes Dibbley.
Wheatley remembered their fallen heroes with a most solemn and dignified service at the cenotaph on November 11. Over 100 Veterans, Legion members, scouts and brownies took part in the march to the cenotaph and the service held at the monument.

Jody Raffoul CD release at The Bank Theatre Two of three shows are sold out! LEAMINGTON – The Bank Theatre will present Leamington’s favourite rocker, Canada’s best-kept secret, Jody Raffoul live in concert for three CD release shows on Friday, November 30, Saturday, December 1 and Sunday, December 2. Opening the show is rising star Billy Raffoul. Tickets are available for the Sunday show. Friday and Saturday shows are SOLD OUT. The oldest son of firstgeneration immigrants, Jody Raffoul grew up in Leamington, bought his first guitar at age 15 and stepped onto the Village Inn stage at age 17. Bars began competing to book his band, The Bad Apples, which Raffoul helped form, and in which he played alongside his cousin and fellow musician Ron Raffoul. Often referred to as The Apples, the band dominated the local music scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and soon Jody set off to record his debut self-titled release, selling the album out of the trunk of his car. In 1999 Raffoul debuted his follow-up effort “Simple Life,” a collection of mostly one-take acoustic songs. Raffoul wrote and recorded a third release, “Like a Star”, in 2004. This recording would bring Raffoul international attention with the track “Light of Day”. Unbeknownst to Raffoul, a fan-submitted that track to Bon Jovi’s Have a Nice Gig contest. Though Raffoul was one of 17,500 entrants, he went on to win that contest locally and was ultimately selected by Jon Bon Jovi as the national winner, resulting in Raffoul and his band opening for Bon Jovi in front of a sold-out crowd at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. With nearly 10 years SOUTHPOINT

elapsed since his last studio album, Raffoul is set to release his fifth, and what most who have heard the record say is his best LP of all – “9 Wigle Street Leamington Ontario.” 9 Wigle is a collection of true stories of love, loss, trials and triumphs with an emphasis on family, all backed by solid music, pure and refined, timeless vocals. Always known for his power, Raffoul shows us that age hasn’t hindered, it has only enhanced his music and stage presence!
Billy Raffoul is opening act Opening the shows is Jody’s son Billy Raffoul whose debut single “Driver” serves as a calling card for the 22-year-old singer, songwriter and musician. His signature sound is a rough-hewn, low-timbered rock and roll that nods to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Neil Young and Joe Cocker, and is powered by Raffoul’s gravelly, soulful voice and deeply felt lyrics. Billy Raffoul has been fairly certain of what he wanted to do with his life from a young age, having grown up in a creative family in the Tomato Capital of Canada, as he puts it. His
mother is an artist, writer and teacher, and his father Jody Raffoul is a solo artist and hometown hero who has opened for everyone from Joe Cocker to Bon Jovi. “One day I went into the studio to sing on some Kid Rock demos. The guys heard my voice in the booth and asked if I had any original stuff. I played them two acoustic songs. They shot an iPhone video and sent it to my now-manager, who used to work with Kid Rock. The next day we drove down to Nashville,” said Billy Raffoul. Billy Raffoul now splits his time between Nashville and Los Angeles. In between playing shows he has been collaborating with other songwriters, and slowly but surely assembling his debut album. “The theatre itself has new signage, new sidewalk, and multiple improvements going on inside and that’s special enough,” said John Moran, Vice President of The Bank Theatre. “But this though, Jody’s new record is about his love of
Jody Raffoul
music, love for Leamington, and his love for friends and family. We watched Billy grow up on this stage at Dale’s Friday Coffee House too, and now look at where he’s going,” said Moran, Tickets are $35 per show

Man scammed out of $46,000 CHATHAM-KENT – Last month, a Chatham man attended Chatham-Kent Police Service headquarters to report a fraud. Through investigation, police learned that the man had received a call from a man with an accent who advised that he was part of an internal investigation at a bank in Chatham. The man (victim) was asked to help by withdrawing money from his account and transferring it to another bank. He was also told not to tell anyone as this was a “secret police investigation.” In doing so, the scammers were
able to access the victim’s banking information. As a result of this scam, the victim lost $46,000 from his line of credit and savings account. The Chatham-Kent Police Service brings this to everyone’s attention in an attempt to prevent others from falling prey to this same banking scam. Should you receive a suspicious telephone call, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/ reportincident-signalerincident/index-eng.htm

WHEATLEY – The Wheatley & District Friendship Club meeting of November 7 began with the singing of O Canada with Doreen Armstrong on piano, followed by the blessing. Happy Birthday was sung to Alma Edsall and Happy Anniversary best wishes were given to Gary and Nancy Roach who celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary this month. Thanks to Doreen Armstrong and Marg Franklin who were on lunch, and to Jr. Churchill and all who attended to the clean-up. The winners of the 50/50 draws were Lena Janik and Doreen Armstrong. Bingo was the entertainment for the afternoon. Thanks go to Tammy Krawchuk who called the numbers and to Denise Reynolds, Alma Edsall’s daughter, who checked the numbers and handed out the prizes. The Bingo winners were Ted Cobby, Marg Franklin, Barb Siddall, Pat Churchill, Mary Hairsine, Carol Roach, Donna Merritt, Bonnie Dawson and Judy Harris. The November 14 meeting is the potluck luncheon, and the meeting after that will be on Wednesday, November 21 at 1:30 p.m. It will again feature donuts for dessert and Bingo. The Fall Bazaar held on October 27 was quite a success. The tea room with chili and buns did very well, as did the bake sale and the sales in the treasure room. There was a lot of interest upstairs at the Heritage Society too. Thanks to everyone who donated baked goods and things for the treasure room, and to Linda Wigfield who provided the delicious chili. Thanks also to everyone who helped out that day. It’s the club members who make the Friendship Club such a marvelous meeting place and wonderful club. The meeting ended with the benediction. Until next time…

Junior Cougars ousted by Aigles By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – For the second time in precisely one week, L’Essor’s junior football team posted 20 points against their Cardinal Carter hosts. Unfortunately for the Cougars, their own offensive output was significantly less the second time around, allowing the Aigles to achieve payback via a 20-0 win in the WECSSAA quarterfinal playoff match. The teams finished the regular season with a 25-20 outcome favouring Cardinal Carter (4-2-0) on Tuesday, Oct. 30, allowing the Cougars to host the Tecumsehbased team (3-3-0) in the first round of playoffs. L’Essor however took advantage of early exits by two key Cougar players for the Tuesday, Nov. 6 playoff match — a first quarter injury that put an end to the day for lineman Matt Enns and a controversial ejection of top offensive player Carlos Dagloria early in the second quarter. Dagloria was called on two counts of unnecessary roughness from the same play for the first two objectionable conduct calls and was soon after ejected by officials on a contested facemask call. “He’s scored most of our touchdowns this year,” said Cougars head coach Chris
Church of Dagloria, who also served as Cardinal Carter’s kicker. “It was just bad luck today. They (L’Essor) just chipped away at us after that.” Neither team accomplished much offensively through most of the first half, although the Aigles came up with the game-winning play in the first quarter on a two-point safety. They threatened again later in the opening quarter, but lost the ball on downs at the Cougars’ 23-yard line. With no interceptions, turnovers were few and far between, although the hosts recovered a L’Essor fumble on their own 45-yard line moments before Dagloria was ejected. Late in the half, the Cou-

gars’ defense made a valiant effort on their own one-yard line, but the Aigles pushed their way into the end zone on the third down play for an 8-0 lead. With heavy winds throughout the game, the guests opted for a two-point conversion attempt, but
were thwarted just shy of the goal line. L’Essor wore down on the Cardinal Carter defense as the second half progressed, although they lost the ball on downs early in the third quarter at the hosts’ 27-yard line. A fake punt by the Cougars on a third down deep in their own zone was foiled, setting up the Aigles’ offense at the home team’s 20-yard line. From there, the visitors again advanced the ball to the one-yard line for a short push into the end zone to take a 14-0 lead. The two-point convert attempt was again denied by Cardinal Carter’s defenders. The fourth quarter’s only scoring play was a fouryard run into the Cougars’ end zone, followed by a blocked PAT kick by John Paul Lapain. This year’s junior Cougars football team was younger than usual, with a roster including 22 Grade 9s. Nick Baini, Andrew Sleiman, Ben Morin, Matt Enns, Jackson Cinicola and John Paul Lapain are among key players who could return to the junior squad in 2019. “We’ve got a lot of linemen and starters who played a lot who’ll be in Grade 10 next year,” Church noted. “This should be a competitive team next year.”

Last place or not, the Wallaceburg Lakers have once again made the Wheatley Omstead Sharks earn their two points. For the second consecutive Wednesday, the Sharks visited Wallaceburg Memorial Arena and nearly had to settle for one point or less. Wheatley came back from a pair of one-goal deficits to register a 6-4 win and again surpass the .500 mark. The win bumped the Sharks record up to 9-8-0-0 and was backed by a hat trick from Leamington resident Dawson Iles. Brian Gevaert started the scoring for the Lakers before Carter Comeau replied for the Sharks to earn a 1-1 stalemate after 20 minutes. Iles gave his team the lead with a shorthanded tally in the second, followed by a marker from Braedon Caetano. Myles Fraser fired a point shot that struck a skate and beat Catalin Morin to pull Wallaceburg to within a goal with 66 seconds left in the middle frame. Fraser and Noah Labonte provided the hosts with tying and go-ahead goals in the third, the latter on a shot that deflected off a Wheatley defenseman’s hand. The Lakers seemed poised for their first win of the season until Mitch Krieger tied the game with 3:23 to go. Iles buried his second 24 seconds later for the game winner and sunk an empty netter as the clock ticked down to 29 seconds. “They play well in their own barn. We were definitely lucky to come home with two points that “We were night,” said Sharks head definitely lucky coach Josh Carnevale. Wheatley was zero for to come home two on the power play with two points while Wallaceburg was that night.” held to zero for five. The — Josh Sharks outshot their hosts Carnevale 36-27 en route to their third win in their previous four games. Assists came from Evan Prince, Jordan Paquette, Cole Butler (2), Delaney MacDonald, Matt Taylor, Comeau, Drew Denomey, Braydon Davis and Mitch Lantin. Caetano’s goal was his eighth of the season, bringing the 16-year-old to a point total of 19 through his first 17 games. “We knew he had offensive abilities when we picked him up, but we didn’t think he’d be playing at a point per game clip,” Carnevale said of the Leamington native and rookie forward. “He’s a great kid from a great family. He’ll probably be a ‘one and done’ player — I can’t see too many Junior B teams passing up on him next year.” Wheatley’s five-game road trip ended with a busy weekend in Mooretown Saturday, Nov. 10 and Blenheim Sunday, Nov. 11. The Sharks lost 5-1 against the Flags and then lost a 4-3 overtime final in Blenheim. Wheatley’s next two home games will be Wednesday, Nov. 14 against the Blenheim Blades and then Wednesday, Nov. 21 versus the Essex 73’s. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

UMEI vs Cardinal Carter 1A senior boys volleyball semis Nicholas Driedger of the Lightning sends the ball over the arms of Cardinal Carter blocker Tiago Mauricio and into the back row during a WECSSAA 1A senior boys’ volleyball semifinal match at UMEI Wednesday, Nov. 7. The Lightning swept their guests in three straight sets with scores of 25-21, 2514 and 25-13 to advance to the final against Lajeunesse. The WECSSAA championship was played Friday, Nov. 9 at St. Clair College in Windsor, where the Royals won by scores of 25-11, 25-19 and 25-18. (Southpoint Sun Photo)
Peewee Stars defeat Lakeshore LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – The Southpoint Peewee Stars welcomed the Lakeshore Lightning to the Unico Rink on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 11. Stars goalie Shelby Wiebe was absolutely amazing in the first period as she made numerous amazing saves to keep the game scoreless. This must have motivated the Stars offence, as they came alive to score four goals in the final two periods en route to a big 4-1 win in Essex-Kent action. Stars’ goals were scored by Danika Romanyk (2), Abigail Bedard and Kristen Kretschmann. Scoring assists were Sienna Gale (2), Abby Neufeld, Charlie Liebrock and Kristen Kretschmann.
ESSEX – The Essex Ravens Atom AE squad had a busy but productive weekend. On Friday evening, Nov. 9, the undefeated Belle River Jr. Canadiens came to the Libro Arena for a Bluewater League contest. In the previous two matches, the Ravens were outscored 21-3 The Ravens fell behind 3-0 early in this contest as well, but their hard work and positional play brought them back into contention. After a lot of exciting back and forth action, and several spectacular saves by the goalies on both teams, it ended in a well deserved 4-4 tie. Caiden St. John had all four scores, with helpers going to Hudson Diemer (2), Austin Hamilton, Ryan Reid, Mason Dault, Cole Gossmann and Mathieu Jakovcic. Great job Ravens – your hard work is paying off. Saturday evening, Nov. 10, the Ravens were guests of the Windsor Spitfires. The team was treated to a high-five tunnel as the Spits entered the ice surface. The Ravens had a tour of the Spits dressing room and got autographs after the game. They also scrimmaged between the first and second period, but even though there wasn’t even a shot on net, the crowd of 4,000 fans enjoyed it nonetheless. The Essex Ravens would like to thank the Spitfire organization, and the parents for allowing such a great experience. Also, it was rumored the Ravens showed off their dancing skills on the Jumbotron. A sight for sore eyes! Sunday, Nov. 11, after the excitement of the previous evening, it was time to get back to work. The Ravens were the guests of the Windsor Spitfires again, only this time versus the Atom AE Spitfires. This too was a hard-working back and forth affair. The team from Essex opened up a 2-0 lead that evaporated early in the third period. The Ravens swarmed the Windsor net, getting many opportunities for victory, but couldn’t get the puck over the line. Final score was 2-2. Ryan Reid and Caiden St. John were the goal scorers, with assists going to Mason Dault, Austin Hamilton and Ty Patterson. The Essex Atom AEs would like to thank Robinson Motorcycles for their sponsorship.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is hardly a condition unique to human individuals. It exists within the realm of pro sports, too. It may not be the sole inspiration for league expansion in circles like the NHL, but a Seattle franchise WOULD make for a neat and tidy system of four divisions of eight teams each. But that’s not the only place where
adding another team would make things ‘Even Steven’. Right now, it appears as though the odds of seeing a 10th team added to the ranks of the Canadian Football League are on the rise. Last month, Halifax council directed city staffers to conduct a business feasibility study on the construction of a new stadium that would host a CFL franchise. It’s been determined that building a stadium to seat about

24,000 spectators would come to the tune of just under $200 million. To be honest, I’m shocked (perhaps “skeptical” would be the better word) that the estimate came in that low. Arenas of NHL calibre can easily hit the half-billion dollar mark, and they typically seat 18,000 or so.

JESSOP’S JOURNAL Bryan Jessop True, stadiums don’t need roofs per se, but still — that price tag seems a little too good to be true. Far less surprising is the understanding that a certain percentage of public funding will be required. Considering who the potential owners of the team would be — former Arizona Coyotes co-owners Anthony LeBlanc and Gary Drummond, along with a third partner with whom I’m far less familiar — I’d say that percentage will come in somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100. As president and former part owner of the Coyotes until Andrew “Borrow Away” Barroway bought and booted him out, LeBlanc was little more than a mediocre public relations hack for the financially struggling NHL team. Now we’re supposed to believe he has pockets deep enough to both launch and maintain a CFL franchise. During his days with the ‘Yotes, LeBlanc pulled every string he could find to get someone else to pay for a new arena in Phoenix or surrounding area. Don’t get me wrong — I’d love to see the East Coast land a CFL team as many fans out that way have dreamed about for the past several years. To their credit, the potential ownership group (dubbed “Maritime Football”) would brand the team the “Atlantic _______,” suggesting that the team would be the pride of the four easternmost provinces and not just Halifax or Nova Scotia. Are fans from The Rock going to make that kind of trip to take in a CFL game? Not sure. Although some massive hurdles have yet to be navigated, LeBlanc and crew are already planning one of those “Name the Team” events with a reveal date of November 23. Up for consideration are Admirals, Convoy, Storm and Schooners. The way I understand it, fans who put a season ticket drive deposit of $50 or more will get a vote. Personally, I like the sound of “The Atlantic Schooners.” For now, Maritime Football is looking at an expansion date of 2021 — potentially 2020 if a site in Moncton, NB can be deemed suitable until the stadium is completed. I hope fans out east get the team they’ve always wanted… just not at a heavy price to the taxpayers.

Novice Major A’s undefeated weekend LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals kept on rolling with three games this past weekend.
some incredible saves to allow her team the chance to come back and earn the eventual tie.
Southpoint 3 – Tecumseh-Shoreline 1
On Sunday night, Nov. 11, the Caps travelled to Amherstburg to tackle the Stars. Jonathan Recker opened the scoring by grabbing a loose puck along the wall and skating in and firing a wrist shot short side to take the lead. In the last minute of the first, Recker again found the puck and swung wide left, skated in and shot back right to increase Southpoint’s advantage. Off the second period opening face off, Kayde Grossi passed to Brayden Foster who sidestepped the defenseman and fed Tyler Thomas with a nice cross-ice pass. Thomas made no mistake and buried his wrist shot high blocker. Late in the middle frame, while playing short-handed, Grossi cleared the puck out of his zone. After the Stars’ defenseman fanned on it, Kayden Cook picked up the loose puck and continued in, ripping it home for a 4-0 lead. Southpoint continued to pressure but were unable to add to their lead, resulting in a 4-1 win at the final buzzer.
On Friday night, Nov. 9, the Caps hosted the TecumsehShoreline Eagles. Although the Capitals had numerous scoring chances, the game remained scoreless until the second frame. On the power play, Owen Derksen blocked a clearing attempt and AJ Youssef kept the puck in the offensive zone. Youssef made a pass down low to Jonathan Recker creeping in, and he went high blocker to open the scoring. In the third, Derksen and Tyler Thomas converged to stop a rush and fed the puck to Recker, who skated in and flipped the puck in over the goalie’s shoulder to increase the Caps advantage. Tecumseh scored with a little over two minutes remaining to half the lead and continued to pressure but Christian Papp stood tall in net, making some timely stops to keep his team up. With 1:39 remaining, Ty Thomas skated the puck out of his zone and hit Brayden Foster with a nice lead pass. Foster skated in but had the puck knocked from his stick. Derksen scooped up the loose puck and lifted it up and into the open cage, solidifying a Southpoint win, 3-1.

Kingsville Novice Green and Harrow Blue play to a draw KINGSVILLE – The Kingsville Kings Novice Green team travelled westward to face the Harrow Blue team in a Saturday, Nov. 10 matinee affair. Sam Ward was tested early and often but was up to the challenge. The Green Machine found their legs midway into the first when Jasper Dunford opened the scoring with a Phil Mickelson-esque chip shot that made its way over Harrow’s goaltender to find the back of the net. Corbin Azzopardi and William Loncke each were credited with helpers. Harrow would finally sneak one past Ward late in the first. The second period saw Quinn Monminie extend his 5-game goal-scoring streak on a beautiful individual effort that put the Machine back in front by one. A defensive zone breakdown in the third period resulted in Harrow’s second and ultimately game-tying goal of the contest as the teams skated to a 2-2 draw. Harrow Blue sets its GPS for Kingsville as these two teams square up for the back end of the home-and-home on Saturday.

Southpoint 2 – Jr. Spitfires 2 On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10, the Capitals travelled to Windsor to face off against a strong Jr. Spitfire squad. The Capitals got on the board in the second. Brody Brown won a face off to Brayden Foster who spun around and shot on net. Tyler Thomas kept digging and pounded home the rebound. Southpoint carried their lead late into the third, when after a questionable call by the referee, Windsor scored on their power play and again with 40 seconds remaining. With 16 seconds left, Windsor, knowing there were no time-outs, called one anyway to try and delay so curfew would be called. Southpoint’s coaches correctly argued the call, resulting in a delay of game penalty. With a man advantage Jonathan Recker won the draw back to Kayden Grossi, who walked the line and let go a nice hard shot on net. The shot was stopped, but Kayden Cook pounced on the rebound and slammed it into the open net to tie the game with 10.3 seconds remaining. Karly Franklin was a wall throughout the game, making

Flyers tame cross-county vival LaSalle Vipers By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – One- and two-goal leads for the Flyers weren’t enough through the first 40 minutes, but a nearly flawless third earned the Leamington squad another win against their cross-county rivals. The Flyers skated to a 5-3 win over the LaSalle Vipers Thursday, Nov. 8, improving to 9-6-1-2 to put a three-point cushion between themselves and the third-place St. Thomas Stars. On the man advantage, Flyers’ veteran forward Griffin Robinson netted the game opener with a backhand after taking a feed from Maddux Rychel during an odd-man rush. Levi Tetreault was credited with the other assist. The Vipers however tied the game twice in the second, starting with a Dean Albano chip shot off a rebound with Flyers’ goalie Zach Borgiel down on the ice. Michael Andrews and Kade

Pete’s 1951 Plymouth street rod Pete VanVrouwerff of Harrow owns a gleaming red 1951 Plymouth street rod with a 350 Chev V8 and 4-speed transmission. The entire drive train is from a 1977 Camaro. The car was rebuilt by Richard Laplante of Kingsville, whose 1940 Chrysler convertible was recently featured in this column. Born in 1947, Bill Sherk Pete remembers riding in the family’s 1937 Ford in Windsor. He took his driver’s test with a Morris Oxford with 4-speed column-shift. His first car was a black 1947 Buick with torpedo body for $100 before Pete had his license. His dad said no and the car was gone. The first car in Pete’s name was a ’37 Chev sedan. He owned it for 5 years with lots of other cars at the same time. He rebuilt the 6-cylinder Chev engine with new pistons and added dual carbs and very noisy glasspak mufflers. He also bought a ’29 Whippet coupe and ’31 Whippet 2-door sedan from Hugh Scratch, who lived near the Windsor Airport. When one of the Whippets was idling, a rod went through the block and two fellows from Remington Park bought it to make a hot rod. Because he had a paper route, Pete was able to contribute $20 toward the $35 price of a Model A Ford in Tecumseh

with his brother George. They got it running after replacing the metal and fiber timing gears. Around 1965, Pete met his wife and bought a 1954 Meteor Skyliner with the glass roof (one year only for Meteor). It’s still in pieces and Pete still owns it. In later years, he owned a ’53 Chev 4-door sedan with a Chev V8 and 4-speed. He drove this car on seven Power Tours in the U.S. and met a lot of fellow hot rodders. Today, he belongs to the Ford and Mercury Restorers Club, the USMA (United Street Machines Association) begun by some Vietnam veterans, the Walter P. Chrysler Club, and the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario (HVSO) which operates the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village. It would take a book to describe all the old cars and trucks that Pete has owned. I wonder what he’ll buy next!

Novice Reds win two LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – Southpoint Community Trophies Novice Red played two games last week.
Southpoint Red 4 - Southpoint Blue 3
The first was against a good Southpoint Blue team. Early in the first, Red’s Gavin Butineillo scored on a beautiful deke. Assisting him on the play was London Hildebrand and Reid Charles. Blue retaliated with two goals, both resulting from a strong presence in front of the Community Trophies net. Taylor Lefaive scored goal number one and the assist went to Nicholas Magri. Sean Renwick scored the next with help from Brayden Kossom and Marcus Hopkins. In the second, Connor Rumble-Anastacio raced the length of the ice and slipped the puck under Blue’s netminder Sonny Coppola. It was a short-handed goal for Red and assists went to Darius Quiring and Sean Amaral. Amaral scored one of his own when Reid sent the puck across the goalmouth. Community Trophies final goal was from London, who charged down the ice. Connor and Gavin assisted. With five minutes left, Southpoint Blue’s Cooper Miller scored a goal. The game ended at 4-3 in favour of Southpoint Red.
Sarah Campbell, of Kingsville is excited about joining the Sun Parlour Curling Club and improving her game. (Submitted photo)
Ladies enjoy half-day fun bonspiel at SPCC LEAMINGTON – The fun just keeps coming at the Sun Parlour Curling Club. The Ladies Half-Day Fun Bonspiel was held at the club on Saturday, November 10. The format was changed to two 6-end sturling games following a few last minute deletions. Twelve women curled. One of the enthusiastic curlers to attend was Sarah Campbell from Kingsville. Sarah, originally from this area, moved frequently as a result of her father’s job and landed in Guelph, where in high school she tried a semester of curling. Even though her parents did not play, watching curling was “a big deal” in Sarah’s house. Her brother first started playing and invited Sarah to a fun night in Guelph where she “got the bug”. She curled for a couple of seasons before moving to Kingsville. She is excited about joining Sun Parlour and improving her game. Hockey and rugby are Sarah’s favourite sports, but curling is a close third. She finds she likes the mental challenge, the strategy and the competition of the game. “It may look easy but it is definitely not!” says Sarah. “I am new to the community after moving away and it is a fantastic way to get involved in the community.” This fun day ended with a great meal and two draws for door prizes, won by Sue Markham and Liz Jackson. The next event at the curling club is on December 1, Curlers Without Borders. Canadian and USA curlers will be on the ice enjoying each other’s company as well as healthy competition. For more information on the bonspiel, contact Melissa Paine at 519-257-0605.

Southpoint Red 6 - Essex Blue 0
In their second game, Community Trophies came out strong against Essex Blue. The Southpoint team scored 6 goals and goalie Ty Gould made some good saves to earn his first shutout. London Hildebrand rushed down the ice and scored the first goal, assisted by Jackson Weil and Sean Amaral. Sean scored the next two goals on his own. Gavin Butineillo scored a short-handed goal when he intercepted a pass at the Essex blueline, carried the puck in and made a nice deke on the Essex goalie. London scored the last two goals giving him a hat trick. Gavin and Landon Carlini assisted on both goals.

Atom Blue defeats Essex in nailbiter LEAMINGTON/WHEATLEY – On Saturday, November 3 the Southpoint Capitals Atom Blue team, sponsored by Windsor Factory Supply, travelled to Essex to take on Essex Ravens Red. Essex was first to get on the board and had a 2-0 lead into the second period.

The third period was a battle for both teams. Brayden Hutchingame was on fire between the pipes for Southpoint and stopped several goals which included a sweet over-the-head glove save. Dylan Marchand scored again, earning a hat trick. Essex came back and tied it up. With a minute left in the game, Southpoint’s Chase Collins took the puck from a pass off the boards from Brent Pimentel and got one past the Essex goalie to win the game at 4-3.
