Fresh Start housing facility opens at The Bridge By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – In less than one year, an idea turned into a new 10-room facility for Leamington’s homeless youth. George Bergen, one of The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource founders and Board President, recalled meeting with Peter and Cathy Quiring in January of this year to ask for a donation towards Phase II of the Bridge – a temporary home for the homeless youth of Leamington. “Peter interrupted me and said, ‘You know what George, we’re going to build Phase II for you.’ I’ll never forget that moment,” said Bergen. The Grand Opening for The Quiring Family: Fresh Start Housing Facility was held on Friday, Dec. 6 at the Sherk Street location. The supportive housing facility will start housing youth in the New Year. The Quiring family donated approximately $1,000,000 to the project. “We are really blessed to be able to do something like this for our community,” said Peter Quiring. “We just knew we had to do something. Writing a cheque is one thing, but the people volunteering here day in and day out, week in and week out, I recognize how difficult that is,” added Quiring. Anthony Grossi of Grossi Construction kept the project moving at record pace and also donated approximately $150,000 to the cause. “It all happened so fast. January was ‘the ask to now. Peter told Anthony to do it at cost and to throw in some extras,” said Cathy Quiring. Grossi and his three sons were present for the opening. “We feel blessed to be a part of this,” he stated. “We are very excited to be offering supportive housing for youth ages 16-24 through the generous donations of The Quiring Family and Anthony Grossi of Grossi Construction.

This is an opportunity to offer programs and services to support youth on their journey of change to move towards independent living, move on to permanent supportive housing, or re-integrate back with their families. As an organization we are confident that providing housing to the youth of the Leamington and greater area is an opportunity to assist with bridging the gap in services and support,” said Krista Rempel, Executive Director of The Bridge. The facility includes 10 rooms, five bathrooms, a kitchenette, a shared living room space, laundry facilities, and a supervisor’s office, which will be staffed throughout the night. The facility provides an opportunity for youth to be housed for just under a year’s time. Messages of support were heard from Chatham-Kent Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls, Essex County Warden Gary McNamara, Leamington Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke and Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos.

LEAMINGTON – The municipality will soon decide on new legislation for commercial building window coverings and signs, but not before seeking public input. In back-to-back items on its agenda, Leamington council addressed recommendations to welcome public feedback on rules for window front coverings and then the regulation of size, use, location and alteration of signage. Specifically, Administration sought direction to host public consultation meetings with the general public and groups including the Leamington Business Improvement Area’s board of management and Leamington Chamber of Commerce on how to regulate both matters. Pertaining to the governance of signs, local sign makers will also be encouraged to offer their thoughts and feedback. In regards to window coverings, council was also presented with the option to receive Bylaw 72-19 for enactment during the Nov. 26 meeting, but it instead decided to consult the public including the local BIA and Chamber beforehand. “There are too many businesses that have windows completely covered, so I’d like to see (Continued on Page 2)

Fresh local produce being sent to feed others By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – The Southwestern Ontario Gleaners and Plentiful Harvest have teamed up to provide fresh produce for First Nations communities across Canada. Gleaners are well known for their operation, which turns donated produce into dehydrated soup and food products, which is shipped around the world and where needed in Canada. Plentiful Harvest, a division of the Windsor Essex Unemployment Help Centre, is the “fresh” equivalent of that. “We’ve been working in partnership with Plentiful Harvest for six years and the Regional Food Distribution Association of Thunder Bay to make sure fresh produce is getting where it’s needed,” said Vern Toews, a volunteer with both organizations. Toews is a fundraiser for Gleaners and a produce coordinator with Plentiful Harvest. The Regional Food Distribution Agency sends down a truck, which is loaded with fresh produce donated by local farmers and greenhouse owners. On Friday, Dec. 6, Ali Bazzi, Food Bank warehouse coordinator, pulled into a Leamington warehouse with a volunteer driver to load up carrots, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and apples donated from Pier-C, Nature Fresh Farms, DelFresco Farms, Mastronardi Sunset and George Whaley Farms. There was also a pallet of dehydrated veggie soup mix, which is the equivalent of 30,000 servings. “We’ve done four and a half semi-truck loads this week, for a total of six loads this season,” said Toews. One load went to a Saskatchewan First Nation community, one to a First Nation community in Northern Ontario, one-and-a-half loads to Toronto, and one load for Windsor-Essex County. Friday’s load will be trucked to Pickle Lake and Red Lake, and then air freighted to nine fly-in First Nations communities and four on the highway. “We estimate this load has about 100,000 servings, which will impact 20,000 people,” said Toews.

Two public meetings were held to discuss the matter of window coverings in September of last year, where the municipality heard a wide assortment of feedback. Some business owners explained that covers must be used to prevent sunlight from spoiling food items while others defended

them citing that privacy, safety and appearance are in some instances improved with window coverings. Others agreed that a bylaw is needed for the convenience of police and firefighting services and to ensure illegal activities are not taking place “I’m interested to inside buildings. hear what the BIA Director of legal and and Chamber have legislative services Ruth to say.” Orton explained that his— Tim Wilkinson torically, 100 per cent coverage of windows has been allowed for businesses while undergoing interior reconstruction. She also noted, however, that visibility into a business through a doorway is insufficient. The option for window coverings selected by council called for a public feedback meeting in January of 2020 and requested that a report based on the meeting be submitted to council for consideration of enacting a bylaw the following month. “I’m interested to hear what the BIA and Chamber have to say,” noted councillor Tim Wilkinson. The following signage report indicated that while Leamington council enacted a sign bylaw in March of 2011, situations have since come about calling for amendments. A draft of such amendments was presented to council early last year, at which point Administration was directed to further look into provisions pertaining to animated, video and other electronic display signs known as Digital and Projected Advertising Displays. Members of council agreed that signs that are rotting, cracked, peeling and otherwise unsightly should be removed and/or replaced with ‘professional’ looking signs to maintain the visual appeal of Leamington’s business districts. “If you’ve got a number of tired signs in one area, it brings the look of the uptown down a lot,” Wilkinson noted, adding that he was happy to see the matter to be presented to user groups and sign makers for feedback.

Residential property owners aren’t the only ones being charged a portion of the cost for Leamington’s sewer separation project. Minutes after approving a charge to property owners benefiting from sewer separation along Coronation Avenue, council did the same for those with commercial land along Mill Street West between Fox Street and Erie Street, the west side of Erie Street South between Talbot and Mill Streets and the south side of Talbot Street West between Fox and Erie Streets. In total, 27 properties were affected by the project, including three owned by the municipality. In addition to aesthetic upgrades not included in the fees assessed to property owners, Mill Street West was one of multiple focal points in Leamington’s Sewer Separation Project that also included Erie Street South and Coronation Avenue areas. The sewer project is being implemented to curb the effects of wastewater entering Lake Erie from Seacliff Beach by separating sanitary and storm systems, the latter of which is not included in fees assessed to benefiting property owners. Mill Street West was also subject to dramatic layout and visual changes, although those expenses were not assessed to property owners. For affected buildings along Mill Street and surrounding structures on Talbot West and Erie South, both sewer service/connection hookup and per metre of frontage assessment costs were cheaper as per Fees Bylaw 60-18 than actual. As such, all benefiting owners of properties were charged the $2,000 per connection and $320 per metre of property frontage. Those rates brought with them per owner payments that range from $3,702.08 to $21,925.44. Together, the affected owners will pay $189,797.95 of the $1,184,198 charge for the sewer portion of the Mill Street West project — including $32,470 for the three municipal properties combined. Owners whose properties were included in the Mill Street West sewer separation project will have the option of paying their assessed fees in one complete payment or having the costs added to their property taxes. A Public Information Centre was held for Mill Street area property owners subject to the charge in early April of last year, although it was attended by only four parties. A contract for work both above and below ground in the target area was awarded three months later to a bid of $2,640,000 plus applicable taxes.

OSSTF one-day strike LEAMINGTON – A large group held signs and flags in support of the one-day walkout by Ontario secondary school teachers on Wednesday, Dec. 4. This scene in front of Leamington District Secondary School was mirrored across the province in support of Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF). All Greater Essex County District School Board schools were closed because of the legal one-day strike by OSSTF, which also represents educational support workers in public elementary and secondary schools. OSSTF and the province of Ontario have not been able to come to a contract agreement. OSSTF and the Ontario government have not come to an agreement on several issues including proposed class size increases, the addition of two mandatory e-learning courses and compensation. One picketer stated that the group appreciated all the support from members of other school unions and the public. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Bummer, it’s cold outside I had the best of intentions, I really did. Like most anyone else finds as they get older, I’ve got a couple health care issues to keep an eye on to prevent minor problems from becoming major problems. Namely, those issues are diabetes, being a smidgen overweight and somewhat higher than normal blood pressure. I started tackling those problems while I was living in Wallaceburg about a decade ago (wow, does time fly). My parents gave me their used treadmill — a Pro Form of some sort — and away I went, walking and jogging on it twice a day, five times a week. Eventually, whittling away at the spare JESSOP’S tire helped reduce my weight from 285 pounds to a low of JOURNAL just under 220. A couple years later, my son was born and that was about the end of my treadmill time. Bryan Jessop The needle on the scale crept back up to around 250 and after moving back to this neck of the woods, I sold the treadmill. Fast forward a few more years and before I know it, the family doctor is recommending insulin. “To hell with that,” I figured and brought home another used treadmill. Eventually, it died — just stopped working completely. So I bought another one. A few months later, it started circling the drain too… the belt kept slipping regardless of how much I tightened it and the motor started making a grinding noise. Fed up with lugging 200 pound pieces of fitness equipment in and out of the house, I took my routine outdoors. It was great — fresh air, nothing to plug in or inflict more harm on our hydro bill, much more to see than the side of the beer fridge in the laundry room. Using my car’s odometer, I discovered that a lap around my block was almost exactly a kilometre. If you had told me seven months ago that I’d one day be getting up at 5 a.m. to suit up and run 5 km before work five days a week, I’d have suggested that you give your head a shake. Then, another problem cropped up. The weather. Like I said, I had the best of intentions. I bought a few sweaters, moisture-wicking long sleeved undershirts, thermal socks, jogging pants, one of those toques with ear flaps and thick, braided draw strings on the sides that when left untied make you look like Willie Nelson or a little Swiss girl printed onto the front of a box of cookies… you name it. Then came that early November cold snap and wind-driven snow. I disappointed myself, to say the least. I thought I’d be able to rough it, like Stallone jogging in knee-deep snow through the Russian wilderness to prepare for his big fight in Rocky III, outrunning KGB security agents trying to follow him in their car. Nope. Long story short, I brought home a NEW treadmill recently. Yeah, I get it — it’s not the soul cleansing trek through the wilderness, or even open air jog in the suburbs. Truth be told, I’m not missing the crappy weather, traffic (light, but potentially dangerous at 5 a.m.) or the chance of encountering knife wielding psychopaths or rabid, aggressive animals. I’ll even go so far as to say that it’s encouraging to see a digital readout indicating how many calories I’ve burned, how far I’ve still got to go and exactly how fast I’m going. The only drawback is selecting the 5 km option on a machine that was obviously built for the U.S. market. It’s a confusing mishmash of Imperial and metric systems, displaying a miniaturized 400 metre ‘track’ alongside distances/speeds reading in miles. Fortunately, I’m a Canadian who was born in the mid ‘70s — meaning that when it comes to units of measurement, I can speak both American and Rest of the World. Anyway, I dread the arrival of winter nowadays like a dog that knows its on its way to the vet. My eight-year-old loves it — snow, ice, cold temps and all. It’s tempting to make him drive me to work and back and see how much he loves the snow and ice after that, but that’d be a bad idea for a few reasons. In the meantime, I’ll try to ignore the “131 Days Until Summer” posts on Facebook, keep the Impala between the ditches and do my best not to shovel gravel from my driveway into the front yard. If you haven’t heard, Environment Canada is calling for a mild 2019-’20 winter. You know what that means… get ready for Snowmaggedon.

Community Living Essex County promotes Season of Giving

Wassim Sarweh, Community Manager, Essex Libro Credit Union, with Brianne Taggart and Karen Bolger, Executive Director, Community Living Essex County, announcing Giving Tuesday Campaign partnership. (Submitted Photo)

ESSEX COUNTY – Community Living Essex County officially launched the 2019 Giving Tuesday campaign on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Giving Tuesday is a movement on a global scale where non-profit charitable organizations kick off the giving season while spreading awareness for their cause. All donations made online at www.canadahelps.org/ giv3/17996 and contributions made to Community Living Essex County until Dec. 24 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $6,000 by matching corporate partner Libro Credit Union. The 2019 campaign goal is to raise $12,000, with funds earmarked to purchase smart support technology devices, such as smart phones and tablets. Technology is a fundamental aspect of all our lives and why should it be any different for people with an intellectual disability. Providing access to these types of technology devices and the support to use them helps people with intellectual disabilities to be part of an inclusive, modern society. With these funds, new avenues are opened up for people including enhanced communication and life skills along with social networking opportunities. Community Living Essex County has also partnered with Little Caesars Pizza locations in Leamington, Kingsville and Essex that have generously agreed to donate $1 from every Hot and Ready Pizza from now until Dec. 24 to the Giving Tuesday campaign. Again, every donation will be matched by Libro Credit Union. Finally, Vern’s Tap and Grill at 22 Main Street East in Kingsville will be hosting a Giving Tuesday Pasta Luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 17 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with proceeds to Community Living Essex County.

Steve Kelly’s 1956 Dodge Custom Royal 4-door sedan.

Purple, pink and white 1956 Dodge Steve Kelley of Leamington recently purchased a purple, pink and white 1956 Dodge Custom Royal four-door sedan from 10 years of storage in nearby Windsor. The decade of the 1950s was noteworthy, with many two-tone cars and some in three colours, including our feature car. It appears to be virtually rust-free and the three colours on the body appear to be original. The odometer shows 34,634 miles and that might be original too. And the ashtray in the dash Bill Sherk has never been used! Dodge in 1956 came in three series: Coronet (available with a six or V8), Royal V8 and Custom Royal V8, putting Steve’s car in the top-of-the-line series, which also included the Lancer two-door and four-door hardtops and convertible. All Custom Royals had the 315 cubic inch V8 while the Coronet had the 270 cubic inch V8. The Dodge Regent was built only in Canada. Steve has ownership information dating back to 1976. The first 20 years of this car’s history are unknown but we hope to learn more with the publication of this story. We are particularly interested in finding out if this car was built in Windsor or the U.S. The glove compartment contains a copy of a 1956 Dodge owner’s manual with a $7.00 price written on the front cover, suggesting that a previous owner purchased it at a swap meet. Two features of Steve’s car were new for ’56: the pushbutton PowerFlite automatic transmission with push buttons conveniently located on the left side of the dash, and the prominent pair of tailfins. This was the first year that all Chrysler-built cars had these space-age styling features. Some trim pieces were missing off the car when I took photos, but all missing pieces are in the trunk, including wheel covers for the driver’s side, and will soon be back on the car. I first heard about this car from Barry Bergen, who lives near Steve, and I drove over the next day to have a look. I arrived in the nick of time. Steve was about to put the car into winter storage and no outdoor photos would have been possible until next spring, when the car, God willing, will be back on the road.

Kingsville student wins ride in a fire truck KINGSVILLE – On Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 7:45 a.m., Gaspare Adragna was picked up by the Kingsville Fire Department fire truck for a ride to Jack Miner Public School. Libro Credit Union, in partnership with the Kingsville Fire Department, sponsored a fire prevention colouring contest in November. There were three prizes for the contest, with Gaspare’s entry randomly drawn as the first-place winner of a ride to school in a fire truck, a $250 RESP contribution by Libro, a tour of the credit union vault and Libro gear. Second and third place winners received RESP contributions, a tour of the vault and Libro gear. “The Kingsville Fire Department and Libro Credit Union both believe that education is critical for safety and long-term success,” said David Debergh, Manager of the Libro Branch in Kingsville. “This colouring contest was a great way to partner with the Kingsville Fire Department to promote both fire safety and the importance of using an RESP to save for post-secondary education. Congratulations to the winners!”

Talbot Street and east of town By Shelley Craig

On Sunday, Dec.15, the worship service will be at St. Luke's along the Bloomfield at 11 a.m. On Sunday, Dec. 22, the service returns to Talbot Street Community United, 3741 Talbot Trail (old #3) east of Wheatley. There will be the Sacrament of Baptism for the sons of Bobbie and Jennifer Coatsworth. There are only two more services at T. Street at the later time of 11 a.m. We revert to the earlier time at the New Year. Eric Skillings will lead us and, along with the usual group, invites you to join us whenever it works for you. Keep in mind the Christmas Eve Candlelight service at T. Street at 7 p.m. where all are welcome to attend. Please keep the clients of the Wheatley Churches' Food Bank in your thoughts. The whole area is sending condolences to Lyle and Audrey Dawson in the passing of his brother Roy of Pembroke. No doubt Roy's nephew Paul Dawson caught some of his love of planes and flying from him. The Talbot Street community is praying for the late Diana McAuslan's family in their deep loss. We are sending our thoughts of comfort to Margaret Dodman-Steinberg in the passing of her sister Diana McAuslan of Mount Brydges. Diana had taught music at Wheatley Area Public School and with the help of her husband, Rev. Gord McAuslan, was responsible for mounting many memorable, school musical productions over the years while Gord was serving at Wheatley United Church. Among her many other accomplishments, Diana also started up a band featuring the students at the school. Our sympathy is also extended to Madeline Shanks as Diana was her aunt. Those of us who taught with Diana or counted her as a wonderful friend, and so many of her former students, are saddened by her death. Our prayers for a safe recovery are with Madeline's brother-in-law Dan (Margaret Dodman's son-in-law) whose had an industrial accident recently. Our thoughts of comfort go out to Florence Willan, Clarence Janisse, Jamie Armstrong, Margaret Dodman, Randy Newham, Olga D., Tom C. and Jon G. One note of cheer for Madeline Shanks: she was recently appointed administrator of The Meadows of Wheatley Retirement Residence. All the residents and those who have received her gentle, loving care are extremely pleased with her assignment to this new position and wish her the best of luck. Congratulations from all of us to Christie Coatsworth and Tom on the birth of a son to Reid and Jenn Shepherd in Ottawa. The somewhat earlier than expected delivery of her grandchild foiled Christie's pre-booked arrangements. Tom and Shelley Craig were pleased to have so many of their family, church family, friends and relatives come out to help celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. Five of our six children were able to join us, as well as many of our 16 grandchildren. Our sixth child was in hospital in Pembroke and was excused from attending. Thanks to everyone for putting together such a memorable anniversary party and ensuring it was a fantastic day for us. And some said our marriage would never last! For those looking for a copy of my book, The Twelve Years of Christmas, it is available at Adamson’s Guardian in Wheatley, PharmaSave in Tilbury, and the Leamington Arts Centre.

Public supports annual Cougars Lottery By Bryan Jessop

Thanks to the efforts of the Cardinal Carter Catholic School Advisory Council and generosity of the public, students at the local high school can continue to take part in school functions after school hours. Winners of the yearly Cougars Lottery were declared last week after Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School students of all grades sold tickets to help finance programs and events throughout the school year.

For the third consecutive year, Amber Wallace took top honours while for the second consecutive lotteries, Tatiana Amaya was second and Austin Cabral third. Abbie Morgan was fourth among ticket sellers while Mya Enns earned $100 for selling the grand prize winning ticket. Prior to the sales of tickets, each student at the school is asked to sell one book of 10 $5 tickets to generate $50 towards the Advisory Council’s fundraiser. The top four students sold 17, 11, 10 and 10 books of tickets, respectively. Extra incentives included specific numbers of non-uniform days for sellers who achieved gold, silver and bronze plans in ticket sales. In a letter to students and families, Cardinal Carter princi-

pal Nancy Sarkis described CCCSAC initiatives as crucial in supporting school programming and events, emphasizing the need for a successful lottery each year. “Our CSAC supports our academic and extra-curricular activities along with enhancing our classroom learning environment,” she stated. “They have provided substantial financial assistance to a variety of school programs over the years and without their financial support, we would not be able to offer many of the additional resources or programs to our students at Cardinal Carter.”

ENS Atom Black snags two points vs. Amherstburg The Erie North Shore Atom Black players made mental notes of what they ate for breakfast as their offense broke out against Amherstburg Green on December 7 in Kingsville. Power forward Hunter Cornies started things off in style as his speed turned an innocuous neutral zone turnover into a breakaway that turned off lights on the score board. Maddox Bernardes continued to flash his offensive upside, picking up his second goal in as many games as ‘Captain’ Colby Snoei and Jasper Dunford picked up the helpers. Evan Warkentin stayed hot as he found twine twice on this day with a solo effort and another made possible by Lake Severin and Corbin Azzopardi. The first star on the day belonged to Keaton Morphet, who drew hats to the ice burying a trio with Pardi-time, William Loncke (2), Bernandes and Cornies all earning assists. Amherstburg, to their credit, kept pace with three of their own but could do no more as the final horn sounded in a 7-3 ENS ‘W’.

gered the 30th annual Leamington Toys For Tots Teddy Bear Toss — sponsored by Century 21 — where spectators threw hundreds of stuffed toys onto the ice for the charitable holiday program. The sum added to the 91,300 contributions offered since the program began. The second stanza only offered more setbacks for the Flyers, as Rychel completed his hat trick with less than a minute and a half to go against Matthew Waite, who took over for Polidori after the fourth Maroons’ tally. In the final minute, Zach Power added to the Chatham lead for a 6-1 score after 40 minutes. Kade McKibbon, now the Flyers’ points leader, cashed in on a power play opportunity for Leamington just over five minutes into the first. Former Maroon Thomas Michaud brought the Flyers to within three on the same five-minute Chatham major penalty and roughly eight-and-a-half minutes later, Wyatt O’Neil made it a two goal game — also on a Flyer power play. With an empty net and a sixth skater, O’Neil again found the back of the Maroons’ net with 1:05 to play. Keeping the offensive pressure on as the seconds dwindled away, Michaud potted his second of the night and the tying goal with 23 seconds of regulation time remaining. After five minutes of four-on-four overtime failed to produce a winner, the two

rivals returned for a 17th centre ice faceoff, this time playing three on three. Michaud’s heroic night was capped with the game winner 1:39 into the fifth period for a hat trick that took just under 20 minutes from the first goal to the third. The Blenheim resident also added two assists for a fivepoint night. Leamington outshot Chatham 44-32 — including 19-2 in the third period — while going three for four on the power play. The Maroons were zero for two on the man advantage. “We couldn’t have played much worse in the first two periods,” noted Flyers head coach Cam Crowder. “They took a five-minute major that we cashed in on with two goals and it just kind of snowballed into a win from there.

Sharks’ scoring drought vs. Habs continues By Bryan Jessop

For the third time this season, the Stobbs Division leaders built all wall around their net the Wheatley Omstead Sharks could not scale. A Wednesday, Dec. 4 match between the Sharks and Lakeshore Canadiens at Wheatley Area Arena ended in a 2-0 final for the guests, leaving Wheatley scoreless against the defending division champs thus far in 2019-’20. The loss put the Sharks two games under .500 for a 0-2-0-0 record in the regular season’s second half. Special teams proved Wheatley’s downfall in the first period, where two man advantages offered the hosts little in the way of scoring chances while the Canadiens opened the scoring 14 seconds into their first power play. Dylan Bradley launched a wrist shot that struck traffic to beat Kyle Metson for the 1-0 lead and then found the mesh again more than five minutes later during a two-on-one rush. His second successful shot found the top right corner from the opposite side after grazing a stick along the way. The visitors outshot the Sharks 8-6 by the end of the first frame. Lakeshore tripled the Sharks on the shot counter — 9-3 — in the second period, but Metson stood tall to prevent the scoring gap from widening. Wheatley’s offense warmed up in the third period, where the hosts took their turn outshooting the opposition by a 3-1 margin, 12-4. This time it was Canadiens goalie Romano Liburdi who put on a display between the pipes, keeping the Sharks scoreless through 180 minutes between the two PJHL teams. Metson raced to the bench with 2:05 to go in exchange for a sixth attacker, but his team couldn’t put a mark on the scoresheet. The teams were an even 21-each on shots — the lowest for the Canadiens’ offence in a single game thus far for 2019-’20 — although Lakeshore was one for five on the man advantage while Wheatley was held to zero for six. The shutout was the third straight for the defending division champions, who’ve allowed two goals in their past eight games. “I thought we played a good game,” noted Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale. “We weren’t fortunate with the bounces and they’re a deep and talented team — they’re in first place for a reason. The power play has been our Achilles heel all year. We’ve tried changing structure and personnel, but we can’t seem to get it to click at game time. That’s what decided the (December 4) game last night.” One day after hosting the Canadiens, the Sharks took on the role as visiting team against the Petrolia Flyers. Wheatley lost the game in a score of 6-4 after being provided tallies by Brett Enns, Ryan Wall, Drew Denomey and in the second period, Shannon Olsen. Sunday, Dec. 8 brought the Sharks to Amherstburg, where a 3-1 score favoured Wheatley. Sharks’ goals were scored by Denomey with two and Alixe Saliba with the other to break the three game losing streak. Wheatley’s next home game will take place Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. against the Dresden Kings.

Cougars fall to Vortex in boys hockey

Southpoint Goalies

By Bryan Jessop

The bench staff of the Cardinal Carter boys hockey team warned that players trying to accomplish too much on their own would prove costly after their first game. After their second game, they were proven right. The Cougars fell to an even 1-1-0 in WECSSAA Tier II play, dropping a home ice contest 6-4 against the Tecumseh Vista Academy Vortex Tuesday, Dec. 3. A slow start put Cardinal Carter down by two after Logan Rice and Connor Kelly scored seven seconds apart. Rice beat Ian Stanton in the Cougars’ net with a high wrist shot from the point and after the ensuing centre ice faceoff, Kelly won the race for a loose puck to tap it over the line. The home team’s offence responded first with a knee high wrist shot by Sajan Brouwer during a rush nineand-a-half minutes into the game. Just over two minutes later, Quinn Rodrigues chipped a close-range shot that hopped over goalie Chris Viselli’s stick and across the goal line. Both Cougars goals were unassisted. The most unusual play of the game appeared to end with the Vortex jumping out to a 3-2 lead, but instead put Cardinal Carter ahead by a goal. A Kanaan Gale shot beat Viselli and after the puck struck the net’s inner frame, bounced straight back out of the goal. One official was uncertain if the puck crossed the goal line or not, but the other had a clear view of the disc and witnessed the goal. The play was allowed to continue until the next whistle, which happened to be Stanton being beat by a backhand shot at the other

end 50 seconds later. Both teams had chances to score in the middle period, but were denied by the opposition’s goaltender. The Cougars were unable to expand on their lead after a five on three power play of a minute and 55 seconds in length that started late in the first frame. Eric Glos ties the game for TVA after cashing in on a breakaway opportunity early in the third. After taking a feed from Jackson Lefaive in the Cougars’ own zone, Quinn Rodrigues went end to end to bury a shot into the upper left corner for a 4-3 Cardinal Carter lead. With seven minutes to go, Kelly sent a sharp angle, ice level shot through Stanton and into the net for another deadlock. After Tecusmeh broke up a Cougars’ cleaning attempt about three-and-a-half minutes later, Kelly completed the

hat trick after sneaking undetected by the hosts’ defence and taking a pass to register the game winner. Cardinal Carter pulled Stanton for the sixth skater with about 40 seconds to go, but Sam Weston put the game away with an empty netter as the clock revealed 15.9 seconds remaining in the match. “Everyone was trying to dangle the puck, and we can’t do that against a better team like this,” explained Cougars head coach Chris Church. “The effort was there for sure, but there’s too much individualism going on.” Cardinal Carter’s boys hockey team is off until Monday, Dec. 16, when they’ll head to Windsor for their first road game against the Lajeunesse Royals. They’ll return home the following day for a 3 p.m. opening face-off against the Riverside Rebels.

When you meet me just know, I am a bit scared here, though I know that will change once you give me the time to get all settled into your home.

Kings win two versus London

Kingsville Kings defeat London Zachary Dillen of the Kings blasts a shot past a London defenseman while teammate Joonas Siermala looks on during a Sunday, Dec. 8 GMHL game at the Kingsville Arena Complex.

The Kingsville Kings are back on the winning track after taking both games in a home and away series against the London Lakers. The first of two games was played in London Saturday, Dec. 7, where Kingsville posted a 7-4 victory. The hosts struck first with goals by Justin Cheng and Dawson Cook for a 2-0 lead, although Kingsville’s own Zachary Dillen notched a power play goal with 46 seconds to go in the first period. The Kings’ offence came alive in the second, where Bryce Tracey, Dillen and Pavel Svoboda turned the early deficit into a 4-2 lead. Evan Kentish-Stack and Dallas Muskego brought London back into the game for a 4-4 deadlock, although Dillen responded to complete the hat trick for another one-goal lead favouring the guests. In a shorthanded effort, Dillen buried his fourth of the match, unassisted, 41 seconds into the third frame. Richard Boruta completed the scoring about six minutes later in a game where Kingsville outshot the home team 54-38. On Sunday, Dec. 8 at “The Castle” in Kingsville, the Kings won by a more comfortable 9-3 margin. Dillen scored the first two at even strength before David Matecha put the hosts up 3-0 with seven seconds to go in the opening 20 minutes. The forward barrage continued in the middle stanza, where Dexter Gourlay, Jan Novak, Jan Sefl and then Gourlay again padded the Kingsville lead to 7-0. Matt Searles put the Lakes on the scoreboard with 35 seconds remaining, but Dillen wrapped up his second hat trick in as many days as the clock ticked down to the period’s final 14 seconds. Early in the third, Dillen potted his eighth tally of the weekend. Kirill Sazonkin replied for London exactly seven minutes later, but Dominik Basek finished the scoring before mid period for Kingsville. The Kings outshot the visitors 52-39. The pair of wins vaulted Kingsville back into second place in the Southern Division, one point ahead of North York with three games in hand. St. George continues to lead the division with 40 points compared to the Kings’ 37. On Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m., Kingsville will host the Niagara Whalers.
