Leamington Council passes 1.8% increase

Seacliff/Cherry STOP to remain in place

LEAMINGTON – As a result of budget deliberations held February 19 and February 20, Leamington Municipal Council approved the proposed 2019 municipal budget with a 1.8% increase to the municipal levy. The tax rate increase translates to an additional $37.10 on the municipal portion of a tax bill based on an average assessment value of $175,000. “Ensuring an environment which encourages Leamington’s future advancement, even while maintaining fiscal responsibility, was a significant focus during the preparation of the 2019 budget,” said Peter Neufeld, Chief Administrative Officer. Some significant projects for the year include a continued investment in the municipal sewer separation program, a municipal-wide water meter replacement project, upgrades to the Leamington Library facility, bike lane installation along Seacliff Drive, and the installation of fibre at the waterfront. In addition, the 2019 budget will include attention to Uptown reinvention and waterfront development. “This year’s budget reflects Council’s strategic priorities and values, focusing on infrastructure enhancements, environment protection and first-rate service delivery, while ensuring an improved quality of life for our residents,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

LEAMINGTON – A recommendation to continue stopping Seacliff Drive East traffic that reaches Cherry Lane has been given the green light. Leamington manager of engineering services Allan Botham presented a report to municipal council during its regular February 12 meeting suggesting that a stop sign along an urban section of County Road 20 be relieved of its temporary status until a set of lights are installed. After a discussion where multiple councilors reported both positive and negative public feedback on the Seacliff/Cherry sign, the motion was carried to keep the threeway stop in place. Originally, the traffic signage was intended to control the increased flow of traffic in the area caused by a detour along Cherry Lane to redirect motorists while Erie Street south of Seacliff Drive was closed for construction on the sewer separation project affecting Erie South, Conover, Stewart and Forest streets. The project also served as a revitalization effort for parts of Erie Street South. (Continued on Page 7)

New plans for old building - craft brewery coming to Leamington By Bryan Jessop

Established business owners in Leamington have some big ideas ‘brewing’ for a historic building located in the revamped heart of the community. Scott and Lisa Bradt — owners and operators of Bradt’s Butcher Block on Mill Street West — are planning to open a craft brewery in what is known as the Gregory Building a short distance westward, next door to the Leamington Arts Centre. The property is wedged between Talbot Street and Mill Street, directly across the former from Gabriele Floor and Home Furnishings. The current building was built by Colonel William T. Gregory in 1911 after he moved to Canada from North Carolina. Initially, he used the building to teach flu kiln tobacco drying processes to Canadians. Gregory earned the rank of Colonel in the Canadian military later on, after World War I broke out and before the United States officially joined Allied efforts against German and other Central powers. The Gregory Building remained vacant for several years, used most recently as an office by the Leamington and District Chamber

of Commerce more than a decade ago. In Feburary of 2017, the Bradts purchased the building from the Municipality of Leamington and originally intended to transform the site into a bistro. After looking further into their plans and discussing them with other local entrepreneurs, they instead decided to open their own craft brewery. So far, the process of converting the building into a brewery has consisted of minor demolition within

the main room’s interior. The reconstruction process will begin soon, as a permit will be acquired some time this week. Once the ground thaws, a new building will be added to the property directly north of the main structure, also being purchased from the municipality. “They’ve been extreme-

ly supportive of the idea,” Lisa said of the municipality. “We told them about changing our minds to open a craft brewery and they’ve really been on board with the idea.” The present building covers about 1,500 sq. ft. while the future addition — to serve as the brewhouse — will add another 900 sq. ft. for a combined 2,400 sq. ft. The municipality has requested that certain features of the Gregory Building remain intact to preserve its historical significance. Rebuilding is being contracted to BayShore Construction Services of Leamington while layout and design will be taken on by Baird Architecture and Engineering, which operates out of locations in Leamington, Windsor and Chatham. The Bradts hope to have the new craft brewery completed and open to the public by late summer of this year. An estimated 10 employees will work at the site, which will allow some of its products to be purchased and consumed on site while others can be taken home in cans or bottles. “We’re really excited about this and we want the community to be excited about it too,” said Lisa Bradt. “We’ve been in the

Lisa Bradt, who co-owns the nearby Bradt’s Butcher Block with her husband Scott, stands in front of what is known in Leamington as the “Gregory Building” — the future site of craft brewery. The Bradts hope to see the new business open its doors to the public late this summer. Currently, they are welcoming name ideas for the business from members of the public.

craft food industry for close to 30 years, so the craft food beverage industry will compliment it well. We’ve had a lot of good feedback about it — a lot of people are looking forward to having a place to go uptown.” Presently, the Bradts expect to produce between six and 10 different varieties of craft beer once the facility

begins operating. The site will be open to the public year round, likely during lunchtime and in the evenings until approximately 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. As of Feburary 25, the Bradts began welcoming ideas from the public to name the brewery. The husband and wife duo is looking for a name that will reflect

both the historic building the facility will utilize and Leamington’s geographical location. Ideas can be submitted to Facebook or Instagram under the account name projectbrewery_leamington. The Bradts, who will also design their own labels, will pick a name after two weeks of welcoming submissions from the public.

Dispensing the pills and remembering them So I broke down a couple of weeks ago and purchased one of those pill box things. After repeatedly forgetting to take my daily ration of medication on several occasions, my wife firmly suggested that I get one of those plastic boxes that separates the pills into daily doses. I now have a two-sided plastic box with Monday through Sunday compartments, both a.m. and p.m. It’s going on two weeks and things are improving but I’m far from convinced that this is the answer to everlasting life. On the first seven-day period, I managed to get my blood pressure pill about three times out of seven, and the cholesterol meds only twice. Resounding success? Not quite. Last week, I did manage to double those results so things are looking up. I thought the pill box would allow my aging mind to remember to take my pills, but all it really did was separate my forgetfulness into days of the week. I’m currently in the market for one of those that will take it a step further and actually tap me on the shoulder and remind me to take my pills.

Your wings were ready - our hearts were not. Our lives go on without you, but nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartaches when someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, silent the tears that fall. Living our lives without you is the hardest part of all.

WHEATLEY – A good crowd showed up for the Wheatley & District Friendship Club meeting of Feb. 20. This meeting consisted of a presentation by Tara Seney, Public Education Manager for the Alzheimer’s Society of Chatham-Kent, who not only provided an interesting and informative presentation, but also brought three delicious kinds of pizza with her for lunch. Thanks, Tara, for a great presentation and great lunch. The pizza was a real treat. We all know someone with a failing memory or have family members who have troubles with dementia. Tara Seney, Public Education Sometimes we worry about Manager for the Alzheimer’s Society of Chatham-Kent. our own “senior moments” when we forget a name, a word or where we put something. Tara mentioned that’s normal. When we’re young we often forget things but never worry about it; however, as we age we wonder if that’s the start of Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. She said the Alzheimer’s patient never worries about their memory as they’ve forgotten they forgot. Tara mentioned there is the irreversible type of dementia which includes Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia to name a couple and there are the reversible types which may come with certain diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. and go away when properly treated. Sometimes it’s the medication that can cause memory problems that are reversible. The best ways to reduce risk is to watch your diet. If you don’t follow the Canada Food Guide then try the Mediterranean diet. Exercise also helps. Someone with Alzheimer’s has communication problems. They can’t always put sentences together and sometimes their talk sounds like gibberish. If English is a second language they might revert to their first language. Those with Alzheimer’s are disoriented with time and place. They might not know the day or week or even the year. Three out of five who go missing if not found quickly will likely be found dead. They lose the ability to recognise familiar places, to communicate or even remember their own names or addresses. They may become confused and get lost. One way to get help is to register for the Medic Alert Safely Home, a national program which for a fee is designed to help identify those who are lost and assist in their safe return home. People with Alzheimer’s have changes in moods and behaviours and changes in personality. The brain is 2/3 the size it once was and has gaps in it. Not All Alzheimer’s patients are aggressive. What we interpret as aggression might be reaction to a memory they have. Tara gave the example of someone she knew well pushing her up against a wall. It seems there was a white floor, which he associated with a skating rink and he was “checking her” as if he were playing hockey. Some wonder, why bother to visit someone who won’t remember you were there or who you are? We visit because of how it makes them feel. They’re happy to see you and that’s enough. When you visit, don’t argue with them. They have their own reality and it doesn’t matter that what they say makes no sense to you. Ask how they’re doing, shake their hand; just validate them. There are 3,000 diagnosed patients with Alzheimer’s in Chatham-Kent. And in Ontario there are 220,000 with 300,000 cases expected by 2022. Age is the biggest risk. After the presentation, members filled out a questionnaire and there were draws for a couple of items. Lena Janik got the notebook and Tammy Krawchuk got the protective wallet for credit cards. Tammy Krawchuk was also the winner of both 50/50 draws. Bingo followed with Tammy Krawchuk calling the numbers and Denise Reynolds checking them and handing out the prizes. Bingo winners included Lena Janik, Mary Hairsine, Heather Vannieuwenburg, Pat Beattie, Bill Merritt, Mary Siddall, Donna Moody, Barb Siddall, Marg Franklin and Bob McKee. Creative Card Making has resumed at the Friendship Club on Tuesday afternoons at 1 p.m. Judy Harris is the instructor. There will be collections on March 4 at 8:30 a.m. The next meeting is on March 6 at 1:30. Steve Morin & Friends will be the entertainment. There’s an executive meeting on Wednesday, March 13 at 8:30 a.m.

Seacliff/Cherry STOP to remain in place (Continued from Front) Previously, a 2017 traffic study was conducted as part of the Pedestrian Crossing Analysis and determined at that time that a set of traffic lights was justified for the three-way, ‘T’-shaped intersection at Seacliff and Cherry. Botham’s report also noted that with Leamington’s waterfront area as a summer destination, the use of Cherry Lane as an alternate route to heavy traffic on Erie Street South also justified a sign or light system at the Seacliff/ Cherry junction. With a permanent set of traffic lights to be installed at the same intersection next year, Botham noted that keeping the current sign in place until that time would be more ideal than reintroducing through traffic along Seacliff in the meantime. Members of council expressed more interest in the format of the intersection once it is fitted with traffic lights than removing the current signage. Botham was asked if the lights could be installed sooner than plans presently call for and if the lights can be situated into a position where the south end of Danforth Avenue can be incorporated. Mayor Hilda MacDonald stated that the only complaint she’s heard regarding the current sign set up is that it’s now more difficult to turn from the south end of Danforth onto Seacliff. “The design isn’t done yet, so extra lanes could be installed there to take care of the extra traffic,” noted Botham, who also explained that a stop sign and future traffic lights is and will be safer for pedestrians in the area. A permanent set of traffic lights at Seacliff/Cherry were recommended following a study in 2012 and with recent developments in the area including Seacliff Manor, Destiny Estates and Golfwood Lake, the report indicated that traffic stoppage at the affected intersection would be a necessity. Botham also explained that with the reopening of Erie Street south of Seacliff, a reduced density of traffic on Cherry Lane would improve motor vehicle movement near the temporary sign and future light system. The report also indicated that with the continued usage of the temporary stop signs, local traffic will be more accustomed to stopping at the intersection once a permanent light system is installed.

Three English cars remembered

Tony’s 1947-48 Hillman Minx.

Tony Nicholls of Leamington, Ontario, remembers three cars he owned in England: “I purchased my first car in 1968, after graduating from BSA motorbikes, from my brother-in-law’s brother, a typical used car dealer of the times. It was an Austin A40 Somerset and though I don’t recall how old it was, they were only manufactured from 1952 to 1954. This car had semaphore style ‘trafficators,’ one on each side of the vehicle, and occasionally, when signaling a turn, both would fly out at the same time! My next car was a 1947-48 Hillman Minx, which I acquired from a work colleague for the princely sum of just 10 pounds.

This car had a character of its own and lived up to its license plate name ‘HEL 602.’ Third gear was always a Bill Sherk problem because it would slip into neutral if I let go of the gear stick. As well, the clutch would slip while climbing steep hills. The brakes were rod activated rather than hydraulic, difficult to adjust for even braking. On one occasion, I had to brake suddenly in a line of heavy traffic and somehow performed a perfect 180 degrees while staying in my own lane so that I was then facing the car behind me! I also had to be careful not to go too fast around cor-

ners as the front passenger door would fly open, and of course there were no seat belts in those days to keep the passenger (usually my girlfriend) from being thrown out of the car! How I never got stopped by the police for driving an unsafe vehicle is anyone’s guess! Later that same year (1969) a friend who was going to Australia to work offered to sell me his Austin A35. I jumped at the offer. It was in far better shape than the Hillman ‘HEL’ car, which I resold back to my work colleague for five pounds. I think he felt guilty selling me a vehicle of questionable safety. The A35 ran well and was sold back to its previous owner in August 1970, when I got married and emigrated with my wife to Canada. I left the A35 at my friend’s parents’ house, ready for him to carry on driving on return from Oz.” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.

Erie Shores Hospice receives $5,000 boost from Funkenhauser Family LEAMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A local family has been turning a personal tragedy into a decade of support for local health care services. Trevor Funkenhauser passed away in 2006 at the early age of 35, but his family has honoured his memory through the annual A Day for a Life golf tournament held at Kingsville Golf Club. Judy Funkenhauser met at Erie Shores Hospice this week to deliver a cheque for $5,000 in support of local hospice services raised from the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trevor gave of himself both in life and after his death and we hope to carry on his legacy for years to come,â&#x20AC;? Funkenhauser said. Christine Colautti, Executive Director of the Erie Shores Health Foundation, explained how the donation will be used to benefit the community: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gift is a true testament to the giving nature of the Funkenhauser family and to the legacy of their son Trevor. With this support, we will continue to provide our hospice residents with vital palliative care, and educate those within our community on the importance of giving the gift of life.â&#x20AC;? The Erie Shores Health Foundation is located in Leamington and raises funds to support health care services at Erie Shores HealthCare and Erie Shores Hospice in Essex County.

A few increases to Kingsville’s fee structure By Pat Bailey

KINGSVILLE – Following its annual review of municipal fees and charges, Kingsville residents may face a few increases when it comes to rentals and service fee when doing business with the town. One of the major fee schedules proposed by Ryan McLeod, director of financial services, is the rental fee for the new Grovedale Arts and Culture Centre currently under construction. With event venues in demand, McLeod told council he did a great deal of research and comparisons when coming up with the proposed fee of $2,000 a day for private events with alcohol and $500 for those not serving alcohol. He told council at its February 25th meeting that the proposed price is in line with other facilities offering similar facilities, such as area wineries. Councillor Larry Patterson said it is important to note that the town is just trying to keep its price in line with others; not compete with the town’s own businesses. When it comes to other municipal facility rental fees, McLeod said he is looking to simplify the rate

structure. He said he is recommending the town make the rates the same for weekends and weekdays in an attempt to make it easier for the staff to administer. He said there will be a slight increase to the adult prime time ice rentals to reflect increasing operating costs but no such increases for minor sports’ ice rentals. Schools will be charged 50 per cent of the standard rate. McLeod is also proposing a change when it comes to the rental of the arena floor as an hourly rate will be replaced by a daily rate. Continuing in the field of sports and recreation, the baseball and soccer fields will now be available at a rate of $100 per diamond per day for tournaments, while soccer fields will be at a going rate of $75 per pitch per day for soccer tournaments. As far as administrative fees go, residents wishing to to file a bylaw appeal will be charged $100 to help cover a portion of the administrative costs associated with conducting a hearing. Certified copies of documents will cost $15 per certified documents, including bylaws, minutes and public meetings. If the town is forced into

the sign removal business, it will cost the irresponsible candidate $20 per sign. The travel rate for those conducting marriage solemnization ceremonies will be increased to reflect the town’s rate for other travel expenses. The town hall will also impose a limit of three documents for each commissioning and notarizing charge. Planning services will also see a number of fee changes. These changes will be based on the amount of time required to process an application as well as the going rates for neighbouring municipalities. In an effort to simplify things and reduce the administrative workload, the manager of planning services proposed the elimination of a variety of ‘expense deposits’. Instead, the town has factored in these ‘out of pocket’ expenses into the new fees. New water service connections is also being proposed in an effort to ensure full cost recovery of the new water service installation. A bylaw will now be prepared to reflect these recommendations and will go before council in the near future.

Kingsville’s Tiago Balteiro (right) is declared the winner of a preliminary fight against Newfoundland’s Seamus O’Brien during the 2019 Canada Winter Games at Red Deer, Alb.’s Westerner Park Sunday, Feb. 17 in the men’s 81 kg class. Balteiro went on to win the semis and earn silver in the final.

Kingsville boxer earns national silver By Bryan Jessop

An abundance of support and determination turned out to mean more than a lack of experience and age for Tiago Balteiro. The 16-year-old Kingsville boxer came home from the 2019 Canada Winter Games with a silver medal around his neck despite being the youngest of the seven entries in the competition’s 81 kg/178 lb. men’s weight class. Arriving in Red Deer, Alb. with nine official bouts to his record of 7-2, Balteiro also had well under half as many fights to his name as most of the other entries. In the preliminary round, the Kingsville youth faced Seamus O’Brien of Newfoundland at Red Deer’s Westerner Park. Balteiro won the fight by technical knockout in the first round, as the fight was stopped by the referee. In the semis, Balteiro was squared up against Quebec’s Gabriel Tremblay, who drew a bye through the first round. The Chicoutimi fighter was taller than his Kingsville opponent and was backed by 45 previous fights, but Balteiro prevailed after going the full length of three, three-minute rounds. The competition’s only novice fighter won in a 3-2 split decision to advance to the gold medal fight Wednesday, Feb. 20 against Isaiah Haya of New Brunswick. Balteiro was knocked down in the first round, but regained his feet and delivered an eight count to his oppo“It was a great nent in the third. Haya won a split decision of 4-1, making Balteiro the first fighter of the tournament to earn a honour for him to vote against the gold medalist. be picked by Team “It was a tooth and nail kind of fight,” said Balteiro’s Ontario and he did coach Doug Patterson. “He (Tiago) made a few mistakes us all proud.” at times, but we can get over those. It was a great honour — Doug for him to be picked by Team Ontario and he did us all proud.” Patterson Patterson was unable to attend the Games in Red Deer, but was able to watch live TSN broadcasts of all Balteiro’s fights from his Kingsville home. A member of Fighting Island Boxing Club based out of Amherstburg, the local youth trains with Patterson primarily out of Seng’s Martial Arts and Fitness in Kingsville. The 16-year-old fighter had little time to rest from his silvermedal performance in the 14th Canadian Winter Games, as he is now training for a fight in Guelph on Saturday, March 9. During the same event, another fighter training under Patterson — Tyler St. John-Worth of Tilbury — will take on multi-gold medalist Nick Lord of Sarnia. Balteiro’s March fight will serve as part of a schedule to prepare him for the Canadian National Youth Championships in Victoria, B.C. April 22-25. Despite a background of only about two years of competitive organized boxing, Balteiro’s accomplishments include gold medals in the 2018 Ontario Golden Gloves, Canadian Boxing Championships and Ontario Silver Gloves. Also last year, he won gold in the Brampton Cup and was also the champion of the 2017 Ontario Golden Gloves. Tiago’s inspiration in the sport comes from his father Gil Balteiro — a former threetime Canadian boxing champion and 1990 bronze medalist from the World Junior Boxing Championships in Istanbul, Turkey — and his uncle Alex Balteiro, another former Canadian champion. Recently, Gil stepped in to assist with his son’s training while Patterson was recovering from shoulder surgery.

The Southpoint Minor Hockey Association presented its second annual Winter Classic Jamboree Friday, Feb. 15 to Sunday, Feb. 17, bringing both the Highbury Canco and Uncio rinks at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex to life for several consecutive hours each day. This year’s attraction — set aside for mite, tyke junior and tyke senior players — attracted 63 teams from across Southwestern Ontario. Last year’s inaugural version drew well under half that total at 26. “Generally, it was a very positive experience for teams and players,” explained Jamboree coordinator and SMHA vice president Darryl Glasier. “There’s no standings, no scores being kept and no playoff games — it’s just about having fun.” Of the 63 participating teams, 10 were regular SMHA squads while another four are entries in the Southpoint Minor Hockey development system. Others made the journey from communities across Essex County including Windsor, Kingsville, Essex, Harrow, Amherstburg and Riverside while others were from areas scattered across the southern regions of the province including Walla“It’s critical to ceburg, Dresden, Aphave that kind plewood, St. George, of support to Brantford, Sarnia, Woodstock and Barmake this work,” rie. Tyke teams were Glasier said. divided into Tier 1 and Tier 2 groups, essentially determined by the size of the centres from where they are based. This year’s jamboree was the first of three to be supported through title sponsorship offered by the Breakaway chain of gas stations. On Saturday, the company set up a booth in the LKRC’s main lobby, handing out coupons for discounts on gasoline purchases. Teams were each guaranteed six 28-minute games with buzzers indicating line changes every two minutes. Both LKRC rinks were divided into two separate surfaces with portable sets of dividers purchased by the Municipality of Leamington. All players went home with a Winter Classic Jamboree water bottle and puck. Between games, teams took turns with activities in the LKRC gymnasium including mini sticks, indoor soccer, the use of a jump castle and obstacle courses. The groups were also treated to their own pizza parties with pizzas provided by SMHA local league

sponsor Dominos. In total, the jamboree welcomed just over 700 players in addition to coaches and parents. For Friday and Saturday nights, 124 nights were booked at local hotels. Between games, volunteer youths with SMHA shoveled snow from the four surfaces while 90 per cent of the association’s executive and director membership assisted with duties ranging from registration of guest teams upon their arrivals to announcing goals, assists and saves during games.

Atom Minors win back to back Over the past few weeks, the Southpoint Atom Minors had back to back wins and tied one. On February 10, the Caps travelled to Essex to play the Ravens. The boys were challenged as Essex kept the pressure on during all three periods. The Caps were scoreless until the third. The Ravens squeezed one in during the second and two more during the third. Goal scoring for the Caps began with Ben McFadden ringing the first, followed by Noah Borges and Mitchell Moracci with two. Assists were from Matthew Mastromatteo, Ben Arquette and Rex Pearce. Final score was 4-3 for the Capitals. The following week, the Caps travelled to Amherstburg where the Stars showed how much they have grown during the season. Shots were harder and play was faster, but the Caps still were able to dominate play. Penalties racked up for the Caps as the Stars kept the pressure on, fighting for the possession of the puck. Period one had the Caps in the lead with goals by Mitchell Moracci and Noah Borges. The second period had the Caps scrambling to find their groove. With a pep talk between periods from coaches, the Atom Minors made hard passes and shots on the Stars netminder to win the game. Scorers for the Caps were Ryder Grossi, Ben McFadden and Mitchell Moracci, with assists from Massimo Ingratta, Nathan Ford, Gabriel Rino and Owen Hunter. Final score was 5-3 for the Caps. On Saturday, Feb. 23, the Capitals hosted the Tecumseh Eagles at the Unico rink. The whole game was intense as both teams wanted this win. Caps’ Noah Borges scored late in the first, making the mark on the scoreboard. The team was making strategic passes and plays, making them a mark for the Eagles. The opposition managed to score their first in the second period and the Caps followed with two more netted by Matthew Mastromatteo and Massimo Ingratta. Period three was a fight for every shot as the Caps battled one man short many times. The Eagles took charge and scored three goals to take the lead near the bottom of the third. The Caps weren’t ready to leave this game without everything on the ice. Noah Borges closed the period with the tying goal that was picked up after a rebounded shot taken by defenceman Nathan Ford. Assists were from Mitchell Moracci, Gabriel Rino, Ben Arquette and Ben McFadden. Final score was 4-4. Gloves off to Caps’ netminders Nicholas DiMilo and Nolan Meadows. Playoffs are heated and the pressure is fierce for all. Keep up the hard work team and appreciate each other’s workmanship.

Peewee Minors face Essex, Erie North Shore This past weekend, the Southpoint Franklin Fisheries Peewee Minor team participated in two games in the Bluewater League playoff series, facing Essex on Friday night, Feb. 22 and Erie North Shore on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 23. Essex came out and commanded the game, as they usually do against all who face them, and the result was a 9-0 loss for the Caps. Saturday brought Erie North Shore and the competition was leveled. The Caps started strong in the first period when Domenic Bordignon put them on the board at the 7:19 mark, assisted by Liam Ouellette, and Max Youssef. Christopher McLean then hammered one home, assisted by Chase Simpson and Ouellette. The second period saw Erie answer back with three straight, bringing the score to 3-2 for Erie. Tyler Franklin was having none of it though and fired home a beauty, assisted by McLean and Taylor Insley, making it a 3-3 tie heading into the third. Franklin got the go-ahead goal at the 4:52 mark of the 3rd, again assisted by McLean and Bordignon. With intensity rising in the arena, Erie managed to score about a minute later, bringing it back to a tie. Both teams fought hard to break the tie in the remaining few minutes but neither would allow room for a goal and the end result was a 4-4 tie.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS INC. (FORMERLY ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC. AND UNION GAS LIMITED)

Enbridge Gas Inc. has applied to raise its natural gas rates effective April 1, 2019 to recover costs associated with the Federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. Learn more. Have your say. The Ontario Energy Board approved the amalgamation of Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited in August 2018. The companies have amalgamated to form Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas). Enbridge Gas has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for approval to increase rates to recover costs associated with meeting its obligations under the Federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (Act). The Act establishes a carbon pricing program under which Enbridge Gas is required to pay a carbon charge to the federal government for volumes of natural gas that Enbridge Gas delivers to customers starting April 1, 2019. The Act also imposes other obligations on Enbridge Gas related to emissions from the operation of its natural gas distribution system starting January 1, 2019. If the application is approved as filed, the bill of a typical residential customer within the former Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited rate zones will increase by the following amounts per year: Rate Zone Enbridge Gas Union South Union North

Residential Annual Bill Increase $93.93 $86.21 $86.18

Other customers, including small businesses, would also be affected. THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a public hearing to consider Enbridge Gas’ request. We will also hear questions and arguments from individual customers and from groups that represent Enbridge Gas’ customers. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide what rate change will be allowed. The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost. BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process. • You can review Enbridge Gas’ application on the OEB’s website now. • You can file a letter with your comments, which will be considered during the hearing. • You can become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by March 13, 2019 or the hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding. • At the end of the process, you can review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website.

SOMBER

Hi, I’m Zest. You see, its not that I’m not happy... I’m just shy. I truly do love people, I just need time to love. I am very sweet and play nice with other dogs so maybe you even have one looking for a friend? I sure hope you can be patient with me because I promise you, I am worth!

Somber needs some time to adjust to new people and new environments. He loves to be pet and adores having his head scratched. Somber does not have any interest in playing with any toys and prefers to play hide and seek. He very much enjoys lounging around and is not big on exploring.

Dated at Leamington, Ontario this 19th day of February, 2019. SAWATZKY BALZER & WIENS LLP Barristers and Solicitors 5 Russell Street Leamington, Ontario N8H 1T7 519-322-2341 Solicitors for the Estate Trustee

Date: Monday, March 25, 2019 Time: 6:00 p.m. Location: Municipality of Chatham-Kent Council Chambers Address: 315 King Street West, Chatham, ON On October 17, 2018, Health Canada introduced new Regulations to support the coming into force of the Cannabis Act, which legalized cannabis in Canada. Upon considering the new federal legislative framework regarding the cultivation and processing of cannabis, it is necessary to appropriately revise the local land use planning regime set out in the Chatham-Kent Official Plan and Zoning By-law. In 2014, the Municipality undertook a detailed review of the regulatory framework for medical cannabis and established an Official Plan policy framework with criteria and zoning regulations for medical cannabis production facilities. The proposed policy framework for Cannabis Production Facilities is similar in nature; however, it applies to all legal cannabis production including medical and recreational. Regulations under the Cannabis Act establish the rules and standards that apply to the production, distribution, sale, importation and exportation of cannabis by federal license holders. The Regulatory framework was built on existing Regulations for producers of cannabis for medical purposes and extensive consultations undertaken with experts; patients and advocates; employers and industry; provinces, territories, and municipalities; Indigenous governments and representative organizations. The Cannabis Act aims to accomplish the following goals: keep cannabis out of the hands of youth, keep profits out of the pockets of criminals, and protect public health and safety by allowing adults to access legal cannabis. Official Plan Amendment No. 55 The objective of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to support and promote new industry as a cornerstone of economic development through diversification. The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to establish land use policies to support the legal production of cannabis within the following land use designations: Employment Area, Agricultural Area and Rural Industrial. The proposed policies include: • Provisions for the separation of Cannabis Production Facilities from sensitive land uses such as residential, institutional, and open space; • A requirement that construction of new Cannabis Production Facilities be subject to site plan approval, as outlined in the Site Plan Control By-law (also proposed to be amended); • That Cannabis Production Facilities be located and designed in accordance with Federal Regulations to mitigate potential impacts including light emissions, air emissions, odour, and so forth; and, • That only facilities licensed by Heath Canada are permitted. Zoning By-law Amendment The objective of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to implement the general intent and purpose of Official Plan Amendment No. 55. Specifically, the purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to: • Establish a new definition for “Cannabis Production Facility”, meaning, “any building, structure or lands registered with, or licensed by, Health Canada to undertake cultivation, processing, sale, analytical testing, and research of cannabis, pursuant to the Cannabis Regulations under the Cannabis Act, or successor legislation;” • Permit Cannabis Production Facilities in the General Industrial (M1), Rural Industrial (MR), and Agricultural (A1) Zones; • Establish the following General Provisions for all Zones; a) The following separation distances shall apply: i. within the General Industrial (M1) Zone no Cannabis Production Facility can be located closer than 75 m to any residential, institutional or open space Zone boundary; and, ii. within the Agricultural (A1) and Rural Industrial (MR) Zone no Cannabis Production Facility can be located closer than 100 m to an existing residential dwelling on a separate lot, or to a residential, institutional, open space zone boundary; b) Establish appropriate parking standards; c) clauses (a) and (b) do not apply to Cannabis Production Facilities where the cultivation area is less than 200 m2, or to any outdoor cultivation areas. Proposed Amendments to Other By-laws To implement the proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 55, the following By-laws are also proposed to be amended at the same Council meeting: Chatham-Kent Site Plan Control By law (By-law No. 148-2016), to require that construction of new Cannabis Production Facilities obtain site plan approval, except facilities in an Agricultural (A1) Zone where the cultivation area is less than 200 m2, or to any outdoor cultivation areas. Chatham-Kent Fence By-law (By-law No. 142-2014), to exempt Cannabis Production Facilities from certain provisions of the by-law, to allow for compliance with Health Canada requirements. Information and Providing Comment For more information about this matter, including information about appeal rights, contact Ryan Jacques, Manager, Planning Services at 519.360.1998 or ryan.jacques@chatham-kent.ca. Mail should be directed to Municipality of Chatham-Kent Planning Services, 315 King Street West, Box 640, Chatham ON N7M 5K8. Your comments on these matters are important. You may comment by phone, mail, e-mail, or fax. A copy of the proposed amendments are available for inspection at the Chatham-Kent Civic Centre, or at any Municipal Service Centres, during normal business hours, or by contacting the above. Dated at the Municipality of Chatham-Kent this 27th day of February, 2019.

Kings finish regular season with win, face Nationals

First and second place rivals Kingsville Novice Green and Harrow Novice Blue met for a spirited battle this past Saturday, Feb. 23. With a juggled line-up, the Green Machine had a neutral zone communication lapse and sprung a Harrow forward on a breakaway and found themselves down by one early on. Kingsville tied things up late in the first period as Jasper Dunford kept up his scoring ways, banging home a Colby Snoei feed. Kingsville brought the fans to their feet three more times in the second as Keaton Morphet showed his strength down low with two power forward snipes, and also picked up an assist on a Quinn Monminie tally. Harrow responded with two more of their own to bring the game to 4-3, which is what the scoreboard read when the final horn sounded. Kingsville’s power play had plenty of action but struggled to convert with the extra attacker. William Loncke spoke with the media following the game. “I was pretty proud of how our team stuck together in a rough game and that we didn’t give up,” said Loncke. Tyson Everaert and Mackenna Michalski had great games for the Green Machine and were rewarded with assists for their effort.

The Greater Metro Hockey League’s Kingsville Kings finished the 2018-’19 regular season on a strong note and hope to start the playoffs in the same fashion. With an 8-2 over the visiting Northumberland Stars Sunday, Feb. 17 at the Kingsville Arena Complex, the Kings wrapped up the 42-game regular season with a record of 25-16-0-1, good for 51 points and fourth place in the 12-team South Division. The win came after Kingsville suffered two straight losses at the hands of the second-place Tillsonburg Hurricanes. The Kings started Game 42 with a pair of power play goals provided by Richard Boruta and Noah Shultz. Ondrej Benda made it 3-0 during an even strength effort before the Stars put themselves on the board during a five-on-four advantage with 30 seconds left in the first, courtesy of Tyler McGregor. The guests pulled to within a goal just over eight minutes into the second when Nikko Morin beat Kingsville goalie Ondrej Klimek for a 3-2 score that stood until Boruta potted his second of the match. The Kings owned the third period, backed first by a tally from Bryce Tracey, unassisted. Boruta and Matyas Mach added power play markers to make it 7-2 before Benjamin Cunningham closed out the scoring with 47 seconds on the clock. Kingsville outshot Northumberland 50-23. Bryce Tracey of Lincoln, New Brunswick and Kingsville resident Zachary Dillen shared the Kings’ regular season points title, each with 65 points. Nineteen-year-old Dillen also led the team in goals with 41, including four game winners. In the South Division’s quarterfinals, the Kings are up against the Niagara-on-the-Lake Nationals. The Nationals finished the regular season in fifth place with a 21-18-0-3 record for 45 points.

Peewee LL ties Essex The Southpoint Capitals Peewee LL faced the Essex Ravens Orange at home on the Wheatley ice in a rare Sunday evening game February 17. The Capitals were quick off the draw with Daniel Saad finding the back of the Ravens’ net with an assist from Brandon Butler. Owen Pimentel and Zander Grilo held the blue line for the Caps, not letting the Ravens fly by. The Ravens found the back of the Caps’ net early in the second period, but Southpoint was quick to nab their second goal when Hadyn Epplett tipped in a shot from Riley Rougoor. There was end-to-end action as kept both teams pushed hard. Great offensive play from Nicholas Massad, Carson Stadler, Logan Charles, Jayden Friesen and Caps’ netminder Nicholas Beaudoin coming up with clutch saves. The third period brought out aggressive hustle from both sides of the ice. With hard backchecking, Rowen Arthurs fed Luca Rino who found an opening past the Ravens’ goaltender. A couple of Caps’ penalties worked in the Ravens’ favor and they snuck one past with a 2:41 left in the third to tie the game. The pressure was on and the Capitals attacked the Ravens with full force, taking out anything in their path. The boys fought hard to keep the tie.

Novice Major A faces St. Thomas in semi-final series This past weekend, the Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major A Capitals began their OMHA semifinal series against the St. Thomas Stars. On Saturday afternoon, Feb. 23, Southpoint hosted the Stars at Highbury Canco Arena. The Caps came out a little sluggish, but by the end of the opening period they seemed to find their legs. Slowly the play tilted in favour of the home side, but they were unable to beat the Stars’ big goalie at the other end. Defensively, they almost eliminated any offense the visitors tried to muster, but with five minutes remaining in the middle frame, while on a power play, the Stars were able to luckily sweep in an errant shot to take the lead. This did not deter the home team as they continued their barrage of shots on the opposing goalie. Finally, in the final frame, while shorthanded, Brayden Foster raced in on a hard forecheck, causing a St. Thomas turnover. Brody Brown grabbed the loose puck and weaved out front and jammed it in to

tie the game. With four to go in the game, a Stars player raced in and let go a laser which went in bar down. The Caps continued to pressure with chance after chance but were unable to score the equalizer. Defensively, Southpoint held the opposition to just six shots but the result was a loss as they ran into a hot goalie. On Sunday, Southpoint travelled to St. Thomas for game two of the six-point series. The Caps came out flying right from the opening face-off. Forty seven seconds into the game, Owen Derksen kept the puck in at the line and fired a hard shot on net. AJ Youssef determinedly banged away at the rebound until it finally crossed the line to take an early lead. A little over a minute later, Brody Brown intercepted a pass and skated in, ripping his low shot fivehole to increase the lead. Midway through the first, Brown collected the puck

from behind the net and circled out front to the slot and wired his shot off the post and in to go up by three. Halfway through the middle frame, the Stars managed a goal but their elation did not last long. A few minutes later, while the Capitals were short-handed, Brody Brown grabbed the puck and beat the defenseman wide, firing his wrister in low blocker to complete his hat trick. During the third, Southpoint simply protected the lead and cruised to a 4-1 victory. Defensively, the Caps stifled St. Thomas again, limiting their chances throughout the game. Karly Franklin and Christian Papp, splitting the goaltending duties on the weekend, stood their ground, allowing their team to keep battling and find their offensive touch. Game 3 is Saturday, March 2 in Wheatley at 5 p.m., with Game 4 scheduled for the following day back in St. Thomas.

Flyers finish first in West By Bryan Jessop

Despite applying heavy pressure against a bitter rival, the Leamington Flyers had to rely on Game 48 to take the Western Conference’s regular season championship. The Flyers settled for a 2-2 draw against the Chatham Maroons Thursday, Feb. 21, leaving them one point shy of locking up first place with one regular season match to go. The tie was Leamington’s first of the season on home ice to finish its record at Highbury Canco Arena with 22 wins, one regulation loss, one tie and zero overtime losses. The one home ice loss was the least in the 25-team GOJHL. Defense set the tone for the first period, where Leamington was limited to six shots on goal while Chatham had to settle for four. The only goal was an even-strength tally registered by Josh King, who snapped a quick wrist shot while approaching the Maroons’ net from its left side. Netminder Adam Harris grazed the puck with his stick, but couldn’t stop in from finding the twine to the right side of his goal. Rory DiNiro drew the only assist. Leamington’s offense had numerous chances Flyers captain Levi Tetrault sings to pot its second goal of the game in the middle O’Canada prior to his team’s final regular season home game for 2018-’19 at stanza, but struggled to pull the trigger and solve Highbury Canco Arena Thursday, Feb. Harris. Chatham tied the game with less than sev- 22 against the Chatham Maroons. Teten minutes on the clock as Griffin Robinson took rault assisted on one goal in a 2-2 draw. his turn scoring against his former teammates. On a short breakaway, the former Flyers points leader tucked an ice-level backhand shot under Zach Bogiel for the 1-1 draw. Leamington regained its lead in the third on a power play when defenseman Levi Tetreault fired a low shot from the point that was deflected by Wyatt O’Neil. The lead was short lived, as Justin Badour beat Borgiel’s glove with a knee-high wrist shot to the left side 76 seconds later. Five minutes of four on four and another five of three on three couldn’t produce a winner, although the Flyers dominated offensively and were granted a power play that straddled the two extra sessions. Borgiel was pulled with just over a minute to go in an attempt to earn the second point that would have guaranteed a first place finish, but the two sides had to settle on the stalemate. The Flyers outshot their guests 37-25 and were one for three on the man advantage while the Maroons went zero “Leamington for two. and Chatham have “Sometimes you get puck luck and sometimes you been a rivalry all don’t,” Flyers head coach Cam Crowder said of his team’s season, so we knew inability to cash in on its scoring chances. “Now we’ll have it was going to be to put in a good effort in Komoka. They’re able to play the a tough battle.” spoiler, so we’ll have to match them.” — Levi “Leamington and Chatham have been a rivalry all seaTetreault son, so we knew it was going to be a tough battle,” Tetreault said of the tie. “We’ll have to play Komoka like they’re a Chatham or a London.” The game was preceded by two presentations. First, graduating-age veteran Tetreault was congratulated by his parents Gabe and Lisa Tetreault near centre ice as one of two Flyers in his final year of Junior B eligibility. Matthew Boring is the team’s other 20 year old, but was unable to attend the game. Secondly, Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League commissioner Mark Tuck presented January Players of the Month awards to the Flyers’ Borgiel as the top goalie and Dylan Weston as top defenseman. The pre-game national anthem was sung by Tetreault, who also played guitar. On Saturday, Leamington won the pivotal game against the Kings 6-2 in Komoka to clinch first in the West. Flyers goals were scored by King, Ryan Gagnier (2), Cameron Armstrong, Johnny Ulicny and Adam Jeffery. To start the playoffs, the Flyers will meet the Strathroy Rockets in the Western quarterfinals, starting with a Thursday, Feb. 28 7:10 p.m. contest at Highbury Canco Arena.

The coaching staff termed it as a “remarkable run”, but it all came to a sudden end with the New Hamburg Huskies taking three closely fought contests, a weekend after the Essex Ravens Atom AE had swept two on the road in New Hamburg. This group of players have done nothing but improve the whole season long and should be proud of all their accomplishments on the season to date. Great job, Ravens! On Friday, Feb. 22, the team from Essex found themselves on the short end of a 5-4 overtime loss. It took a power play goal in the last minute of overtime to subdue the Ravens. Goal scorers for Essex were Nicholas Brophey with a pair, with Ty Patterson and Mathieu Jakovcic adding singles. Zac Grein had two assists, with Caiden St. John and Ryan Reid adding one. Saturday, in the friendly confines of the Shaheen Rink, the locals had another opportunity to oust the Huskies from further play. Once again this was a tight match from beginning to end, with New Hamburg winning the game 3-2 and sending Essex back to New Hamburg on Sunday for the fifth and deciding game. Scoring for Essex in this one was Caiden St. John with both tallies. Assisting was Austin Hamilton. The winning goal by the Huskies in this game came with a minute and 47 seconds remaining on the clock. Sunday, after battling grueling winds on the drive to New Hamburg, the two teams were ready for battle to see who moved into the semi-finals versus the Guelph Gryphons. Playing with a shortened bench for this one, it took the gang a bit to get going, finding themselves down by a goal after the first period. Two quick tallies by the Huskies in the second made it appear that they may run away with this one. The Ravens would have none of that as Caiden St. John, on an assist from Captain Hudson Diemer, beat the New Hamburg goalie to cut the lead to 3-1. Period three showed why this team enjoyed some year-long successes as they notched the next two goals by Mathieu Jakovcic and Ryan Reid to tie up the game at 3-3. But 17 seconds later, a quick counter from the Huskies put the Ravens down by one. The team fought tooth and nail trying for the equalizer and resurrect their playoff hopes, but another goal late in the game, as in the first two games of the weekend, ended the dream with a 5-3 defeat. Once again this team deserves heartfelt praises for all they accomplished. Hold your heads high and proud – you all deserve it!

Novice Red competes in Norwich tourney The Southpoint Novice Red Community Trophies team spent the weekend participating in the Norwich Tournament. The first challengers were from Burford. Forty seconds into the game, Southpoint’s Sean Amaral received a pass from Jackson Weil, skated the puck in and scored. In the second, Southpoint scored four more times to take a 5-0 lead. On goal number two, Reid Charles put in a rebound from Sean’s shot. Goal three was on an endto-end rush by Sean. Darius Quiring stole the puck at the Burford blueline skated in and slipped it under the Burford goalie for goal number four. Southpoint’s final goal was another end-to-end by Sean. At this point the boys let up and Burford came storming back, scoring two at the end of the second and two more in the third. The game ended 5-4 for Community Trophies. Sean Amaral earned MVP honours. Southpoint’s next opponent was Tillsonburg. Southpoint was first on the board with a goal from Gavin Butineillo. Tillsonburg tied things up before the end of the first. In the second, Darius Quiring sent the puck to Gavin who on a sharp angle lifted the puck over the Tillsonburg goalie. A third goal for Southpoint came on a scramble in front of the Tillsonburg net. Nolan Garnet put that one away. Midway through the third, Tillsonburg scored their second goal and Sean Amaral responded to cap off the scoring for Southpoint for a 4-2 win. Goalie Ty Gould received the MVP puck. The third game against Listowel was a quarter-final

matchup. Listowel scored first and that seemed to be a Sunday morning wakeup call for Southpoint. Connor Rumble-Anastacio responded, scoring on an end-to-end rush. Gavin scored in the second when he stole the puck at the Listowel blueline and rushed to the opponents net. Listowel tied the game up late in the third to send things into overtime. The format at this tournament was quite unique. Overtime was 4-on-4 for two minutes, then it went to 3-on-3 for two minutes, and then finally 2-on-2 for ten minutes. The teams remained tied and went to 2-on-2 before Connor made one of his signature rushes to score. Connor had been on the ice for about six minutes and was gassed, but did earn the MVP puck. In the semi-finals, Southpoint took on Norwich but could not take advantage of numerous power plays. The backcheck was not there. Gavin scored one goal and was assisted by Sean Amaral and Carter Kretschmann. Connor scored the second and assists went to Reid Charles and Sean. Unfortunately there was no stopping Norwich who won 7-2. London Hildebrand got the MVP puck. The Community Trophies team had hoped to get into the finals and were disappointed with the result. That being said, they need to look at what they have done in the last few weeks, particularly in the aggressive style of play they are beginning to adopt. The effort was great. They did a lot of team bonding while bowling, swimming and just hanging out. In general, the weekend turned out to be a very positive experience.

By Bryan Jessop

For the 26th consecutive year, a charitable cause supporting local families has emerged as the winner of a Wheatley-based hockey tournament. The annual Childcan Tournament, hosted by Wheatley Area Arena, has entered its second quarter century and early calculations indicate that the fundraiser is once again a success. Although final figures were not available by press deadline, organizer Mark Epplett estimated that this year’s three-day event is the most financially successful in the five years that he’s been involved. Recent editions of the tournament have raised between $2,500 and $3,000. Epplett was again backed by assistance and support from the Wheatley Optimist Club and its members, who took on duties from acquiring the liquor license for upper lounge beverage sales to booking ice rental time and recruiting game officials. All three days of the event — Friday, Feb. 15 to Sunday, Feb. 17 — included a steady flow of spectators who gathered to socialize and enjoy the tournament’s 20 games. In the Women’s division, six teams competed for a spot in the Sunday afternoon championship game. There, the multi-title winning Blenheim entry took on Simp’s. After the customary 30 minutes of regulation and an overtime session that failed to produce a winner, Simp’s captured the championship in a shootout. In the six-team Men’s Rec group, Vern’s and the Essex Junior OV’s advanced to the final. Vern’s — one of the event’s teams that has entered for the past several years — won the game handily. The Men’s Open division “There was a came down to a final between Bowman’s and Hunt Club. In lot of positive the latter stages of a three-on-three overtime session, Hunt comments about Club produced the game- and championship-winning goal. the tournament “There was a lot of positive comments about the tournathis year.” ment this year,” Epplett explained. “People are happy with — Mark the number of teams, the structure of the tournament and Epplett just the busyness of the arena overall through the weekend. A lot of people commented that Sunday afternoon upstairs was like they’d never seen it before.” Epplett credited the appearance of several local teams in the final games for the large crowd that filled the second floor lounge. He also explained that Friday crowds were consistent with those from previous years while Saturday was also busy, most notably starting late in the afternoon and while local band Crossroads performed. The on-ice success of the tournament came despite the challenges involved with scheduling games within a relatively narrow time frame, Epplett noted. “With only one pad and limited ice times, we can’t be playing too early or too late,” he explained. “It creates a bit of an ice time crunch, but we never fell behind schedule by more than a few minutes.” Proceeds from the tournament have benefited Childcan since the event’s inaugural gathering in 1994. The London-based organization supports families diagnosed with cancer throughout Southwestern Ontario, offering programs and services during diagnosis, treatment, recovery and/or bereavement.

Peewee Stars tie with Lakeshore The Southpoint Peewee Stars welcomed the Lakeshore Lightning to the Unico rink on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 24. This was an evenly matched game with great goaltending by both teams. Each team found the back of the net once and the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Bricelyn Koehler scored the lone Stars’ goal, assisted by Heidi Heinrichs. Rebecca MacFarlane played outstanding between the pipes as she made several big saves to hold the Lightning to just one goal.

Cougars advance to Tier II finals

The Cougars’ Jason Daraiche takes hold of his own rebound to score one of his four goals in a WECSSAA Tier II boys hockey semifinal match Thursday, Feb. 21 at Unico Arena. Cardinal Carter dominated the game with a 12-1 win to sweep the series 2-0 and advance to the finals against the Massey Mustangs.

By Bryan Jessop

Their semifinal series may have started a week late, but Cardinal Carter’s boys hockey team wasted little time clearing a path to the championship round. After a February 13 game was postponed because of a miscommunication in scheduling game officials, the Cougars swept the Lajeunesse Royals 2-0 in the best of three semis with 6-3 and 12-1 wins at Central Park Athletics and Unico Arena, respectively. The Royals made Cardinal Carter earn the Game 1 victory, trailing 4-3 in the third period before the Cougars potted two empty net tallies. Game 2, played Thursday, Feb. 21 in Leamington, proved far less of a nailbiter. Lajeunesse goalie Ethan Dagenais and his team’s shortened roster — missing six players — kept the game scoreless for nearly nine minutes, but from there began wearing out under the relentless offensive attack of the Cougars. Cardinal Carter buried three shorthanded tallies and another two on the power play, but started scoring at even strength when Jason Daraiche buried his own rebound, unassisted. Two shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill were planted by Alex Demers before Luke Tatomir roofed a wrist shot from close range to finish scoring for the first period. A dump in from the red line during another penalty kill by Quinn Rodrigues appeared to make the score 5-0 in the first minute of the second period, but the goal was called off with a Cougar player being deemed offside. Later on during the same Royals power play, Daraiche again sunk his own rebound, unassisted. A wrist shot from the point by Matt Enns brought the score to 6-0 for the first power play marker. Dariache scored the next two, first 10 seconds after the Enns goal and then by It might be cold outside, but you can keep yourself and your savings war m catching Dagenais out of his net. Carson Mastronardi and with an amazing 2-year Optimum Investment from WFCU Credit Union. Tatomir finished the scoring for the second period to bring the score to 10-0. Patrick Monforton scored the lone Royals goal 32 seconds into the third period, which was played in running time. Rodrigues scored on the power play about 10 minutes later after his team spent much of the final 15 minutes passing the puck rather than shooting. Colin Smith completed the scoring on a wrist shot from inside the slot.
