1995 Peewee AEs finalists at Port Stanley vs. a Hamilton squad, Steven Schiefer converted the handiwork of Paul Gossmann before Gossmann and Mike Platsko would set up Craig DeLorenzi. Hamilton made it 2-1 later in the game. However the Southpoint crew held on to defeat the strong Hamilton squad. The second contest, which was against a London entry, featured some high scoring and was to-
Pet of the Week
DALLAS
Hi, I’m Dallas! I am a 5 year old boy who is waiting and eager for adventure! I need a person who is ready and willing to be as curious as me and hopefully smarter than me too! You see... I am quite the escape artist, I guess that’s where my curiosity gets me in trouble. But hopefully if you are just as adventurous as I am you will be two steps ahead of me! It’s important that you know I have this thing called ‘separation anxiety’. It’s hard for me to feel comfortable when I’m left home alone and I tend to panic and look for my person. I will need to be with someone who is understanding of this and will have the time to help me work through it so I’m successful. Setting up the environment to help prevent my ‘Houdini antics’ is important. It’s safe to say apartment living would not be good for me as I tend to get loud when I’m by myself. I’m also very energetic so I need room to run in and burn off energy in. I need a pet free home with older very responsible children only.

Southpoint faced the host Port Stanley team and battled in a defensive gem. The game’s lone tally came when Southpoint’s Jamie Bailey made a spectacular centering pass from behind the net to Steven Schiefer, who promptly deposited it into the Port Stanley net. The win propelled Southpoint into the title match against Mt. Brydges. In the final, Justin Renwick spotted Southpoint a 1-0 lead and Paul Gossmann upped the count to 2-0. But the opposition potted two to knot the game and later tabbed the go-ahead marker. In the final period, Southpoint put up a prolonged attack but did not get the tying goal and came away as runners-up.

By C. Scott Holland A quarter century ago — in March 1995 — the Southpoint PeeWee AE travel hockey team journeyed to Port Stanley and played very well during a late season tournament. Despite their strong show of talent, they came home as tournament finalists who gave everything they had to capture the title. In their opening game
By Lloyd Brown-John Canterbury ElderCollege serves the Age 55 and better community with short, diverse and enriching courses throughout Windsor, Essex and Kent counties. ElderCollege is an affiliate of Canterbury College at the University of Windsor. Canterbury ElderCollege, founded in 2010, was designed to achieve two basic purposes. First, to provide informative, interesting and challenging short and low-cost courses for folks aged 55 and better. Second, ElderCollege was premised upon the realization that many older people needed opportunities to socialize and engage in social interaction. ElderCollege’s Spring 2020 Semester offered over 70 courses throughout Windsor, Essex and Kent counties. However, as we all know, the world changed dramatically in March and like so many other groups and organizations, Canterbury ElderCollege had to first postpone and then cancel most of its Spring 2020 courses. Now, thanks to the support of the Emergency Community Support Fund from the Government of Canada and Windsor-Essex Community Foundation, ElderCollege will experiment, beginning October 29, with an array of 13 online courses using Zoom. Courses will run throughout November and early December. The courses will be offered free as Canterbury ElderCollege and its volunteer instructors hit the technology stream in order to try to serve our community of seniors. Details on courses and course registration will be available on the website: www.eldercollege.ca, this coming week. We will launch with a course titled “Controversial Art” on October 29. Thereafter there will be courses titled: “Easter Island: An Exploration Visit”; “Grist for the Mill” which includes a discussion of probably Ontario’s oldest grist mill in LaSalle; and “Accessible Diversity: Acquired Disabilities” A cool computer course “Cheater’s Trivia: Improve Your Internet Searching Abilities”; “Computers: Beyond The Chips and Wires”; “Pelee Island: Birthplace of Canadian Winemaking”; “Remembering the Royal Visit of 1939”; “Stories of Home” little known stories and tales of Essex County; and “Unknown Wings: The Aviation of WWII You Never Heard About”. Finally, we will have two courses involving the Windsor Symphony Orchestra. Recognizing that many senior folks in our community may have issues with technology, Canterbury ElderCollege will do its best to ensure that all those interested have the opportunity to join our experiment in online learning for those of us who really would prefer a classroom setting and those cookies, cakes tea and coffee at break-time.
