LEAMINGTON – Playing net was nothing new for Corbin Watson. He donned the equipment and guarded the net for several Kingsville Kings teams growing up. But life as he knew it changed following a car accident on November 16, 2006. Following nine surgeries, Watson was told his leg couldn’t be saved. While many might give up on their athletic dreams, Watson’s began to take on a whole new shape thanks to Ray Grassi. Grassi, a Windsor-based sledge hockey Paralympian, spotted Watson at a wheelchair relay in 2008 and believed he had the potential to become a teammate on his Ice Bullets sledge hockey team. “Especially once he found out I had been a goalie,” laughed Watson. Since that initial meeting, Watson has gone on to not only represent his country, but bring home silver and bronze medals, a World Championship and several other tournament titles. On Friday, January 12, Watson took to the ice with members of Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School’s Hockey Skills Academy at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex. He suited up and participated in the morning’s drills, letting the students take aim at him in net, including Brody Daigneau. The 14-year-old Grade 9 Cardinal Carter student was thrilled to see Watson in action and hopes to one day follow in his footsteps. Daigneau, who suffers from a mild form of cerebral palsy, also plays his hockey on a sled as a member of the Windsor Ice Bullets. For the veteran player, who has been playing the game since he was six, sharing the ice with Watson served as a truly inspirational experience. Brody, too, would eventually like to earn the opportunity to wear the Maple Leaf in international competition. And it’s athletes like Watson, a Cardinal Carter alumnus, who help make that dream seem a little more attainable to Team Canada prospects like Brody. For Brody, whose ultimate goal is the Canadian Paralymic Sledge Hockey Team, Watson is the motivation that helps keep him working toward that goal. For academy instructor and Cardinal Carter vice-principal Ryan Coristine, if Brody manages to crack the lineup, it would be just one more incredible success story for his former students, which includes Watson and 31-yearold, three-time Olympic gold medal and silver medalist Meghan Agosta. Learning from students who walked the same halls they now walk, said Coristine, provides a whole new level of motivation. Coristine said this visit from Watson was especially meaningful, since Brody’s goal is one a former Carter Cardinal student has already managed to achieve.

Kingsville Council opts in for retail cannabis stores By Pat Bailey

HISTORIC SELL-OFF WEEKEND!

It was a little fatherly advice that convinced Kingsville Councillor Tony Gaffan to vote in favour of opting in when it comes to allowing cannabis retail outlets in town. With this decision weighing heavily on his mind, Gaffan turned to his dad, former Mayor Jim Gaffan, for a little advice. The advice – ‘listen to your residents’ – made Gaffan turn to social media to hear what the residents had to say. In a Facebook post, Gaffan asked residents their feelings on the subject. Gaffan said of the more than 200 responses, the overwhelming majority recommended Kingsville opt in. And in a democ-

racy, Gaffan said, the majority rules. It was not only a majority, but a unanimous vote that resulted in the town of Kingsville following the lead of Leamington to opt in. Other councillors also admitted to changing their minds when it came to cannabis sales locally. Like Gaffan, they too followed the lead of those who voted them in. And when a recent online survey, put out by the town, came back with 63 per cent in favour of opting in, the councillors listened. Councillor Larry Patterson admitted he was afraid when the idea of cannabis retail outlets in town was first broached. Since then though, Patterson said he has done his homework and

changed his mind on the subject. “We allow greenhouses in the municipality to grow marijuana,” said Patterson. Although Kingsville doesn’t meet the government’s current requirements when it comes to population for the licensing of 25 retail locations for April 1, Council agreed it will give them time to watch and learn. Essex, too, unanimously opted in, joining Leamington, Kingsville, Pelee Island and Chatham-Kent as potential homes to cannabis retail outlets, while Tecumseh, Lakeshore and LaSalle voted to opt out. Amherstburg and Windsor will vote on Jan. 21 – the night before the Jan. 22 deadline.

Leamington woman wins London Dream Lottery The top two winners of Dream Lottery in support of the regional hospitals in London were revealed Thursday, January 10 at the Millstone Dream Home in London. Mary Defrancisco of Leamington will take home the top prize of the twice-annual mega-fundraiser that supports the Children’s Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s Health Care London and London Health Sciences Centre. Defrancisco has three options: a $1.8-million London home built by Millstone Homes in London’s southwest end, a downtown condo in Tricar’s Azure tower and a $500,000 cash prize or $1 million cash. Initially in disbelief, Defrancisco was worried it might be a bad joke and didn’t want to invest a lot of emotion in the win until she confirmed it. Once she realized the win is real, she said, “I can’t believe it, I’m feeling so blessed, this is news of a lifetime!” Defrancisco had bought tickets before but never won. She debated buying this time but decided she needed to keep supporting the hospitals as her family has experienced their care first-hand. The lottery announced it had raised more than $1 million in this latest draw, lifting the total raised since 1996 to more than $34.6 million (net) for equipment, research and education at the London hospitals. The names of major prize winners are posted on-line at www.dreamitwinit.ca

Leamington’s newly-elected mayor and the municipal council she represents are no strangers to change and challenge — facts she did not shy away from during the 12th annual Breakfast with the Mayors. The yearly event was hosted at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens Friday, Jan. 11, where Kingsville Mayor Nelson Santos and Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald reflected on 2018 and looked forward to what lies ahead for 2019 in each of their respective municipalities. Presented by the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce, the gathering drew a record crowd of 150 guests. MacDonald began by acknowledging the presence of other municipal representatives past and present including previous Leamington mayor John Paterson. Like mayors through the prior 11 years, she set the tone for discussing what lies ahead by illustrating the turn of events Leamington had been subject to in years past. “To talk about the future, we need to look at the past and acknowledge where we’ve been,” she said, explaining that the kick off to the prior term in council was shortly after H.J. Heinz closed its Leamington operations in the early summer of 2014. “We had no idea Highbury Canco was waiting in the wings. We knew we had to reinvent ourselves. The council of the day took some gutsy chances and consequently, the past four years have been filled with some remarkable things.” MacDonald looked back upon the municipality’s sewer projects, waterfront property purchases made to “In all of this, enhance the areas surrounding Leamington’s marina, the goal was to the ongoing renewal of the public library, support of create a healthy balance The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place and Leamington Art Centre. Waterfront enhancements she reflected on of live, play, work included beach volleyball courts and the amphitheater for our residents.” along Seacliff Park and the new skateboard park im— Hilda mediately south of the Kinsmen Sports Fields along MacDonald Sherk Street. MacDoanld also mentioned hiring a local firm to instigate an Uptown Master Plan that began with the creation of a pedestrian friendly district. In the near future, the revamped Mill Street area will host night markets and other outdoor events. “In all of this, the goal was to create a healthy balance of live, play, work for our residents,” she said. “We will never go back to the uptown of the 1970s.” In addition to the highlights, the new mayor also looked back on challenges and setbacks that council has addressed over the past 12 months. “With all the successes, we’ve had a few blunders and misses that we’ve learned from,” MacDonald explained. “We’ve had an exploding greenhouse and cannabis industry that created challenges for council and administration. But, at the end of the day, at the end of this term, council could say ‘a job well done’.” This year’s Mayors’ Breakfast came two days after Leamington council finished its Strategic Planning Session. “We’re still in that thinking mode of what we’re going to do,” she continued. “So I have for you not only our fresh ideas for council’s next four years, but also consensus from my colleagues as to what our priorities are for looking out for the next 20 years. “ The first priority, she declared, was the installment of a major sewer line north along Highway 77 to Staples. The project would service residential and industrial properties including the expanding greenhouse industry in that region. The project, MacDonald noted, will include plans to secure supports from upper levels of government. In part, the project is expected to reduce chemical and phosphorus releases into the ground that eventually make their way into surrounding bodies of water. It will also allow more on-site housing for greenhouse migrant workers, which in turn, MacDonald explained, will allow for more affordable housing elsewhere throughout the municipality. The upcoming year will include more waterfront development plans that may include the acquisition of more land and newly created partnerships at both public and private levels. “Our waterfront is a quality of life component not only to our visitors and our guests, but to our community’s residents,” MacDonald explained. “Council is very excited by the potential that lies in this waterfront land and we expect great opportunities in the very near future.” On the matter of cannabis production, MacDonald admitted that concerns of smell and excessive light must be addressed with an agreement beneficial to both residents and growers. In regards to the opportunities to license bricks and mortar cannabis retailers in Leamington, MacDonald explained that the municipality would forge ahead with efforts to allow such opportunities immediately after receiving the go ahead from the province.

Santos looks back on productive year By Bryan Jessop

The 12th annual Breakfast with the Mayors again proved an ideal opportunity to reflect on a busy 2018 and ambitious 2019 for the Town of Kingsville. The event took place Friday, Jan. 11 at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens as presented by the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce. The annual gathering drew a record crowd of 150 guests, eclipsing 2018’s head count of 127. Following breakfast and opening remarks from Leamington Chamber of Commerce general manager Wendy Parsons, president Renee Daudlin-Iacobelli and Essex County warden Gary McNamara, Kingsville mayor Nelson Santos took the podium to look back on achievements and challenges from last year and to highlight some of the goals for the year that lies ahead. The mayor adopted a combined rural approach to explaining why Kingsville, Leamington and neighbouring communities can thrive in a region sometimes forgotten by other parts of the province. Accentuating local strengths and achievements with drumsticks and cowbells, Santos delivered a speech based on a modified Toronto Raptors pitch he described as “We The South.” “Strongly, we can shake that notion and that urban legend that Ontario stops at London,” Santos remarked. “We The South are getting stronger, smarter and based on the trends from our two towns — Kingsville and Leamington — we represent the ‘it’ place where many are looking to call home.” Santos mentioned physician recruitment at Erie Shores Health Care and like Leamington mayor Hilda MacDonald who’s speech followed his, discussed the cannabis industry that is on the cusp of being integrated into the region. The mayor also described job creation as a focal point for Kingsville council heading into 2019. “The entrepreneurial spirit in our region is stronger than ever, the demand for skilled trades is still on the climb, innovation is growing. As you’re hearing today, we’re finding successes, we’re finding progress, we’re finding our way.” Santos also lauded the award-winning website www.mykingsville.ca as a promotional tool for the community and its amenities and attractions.

mayor made note of a busy schedule of festivities hosted within Kingsville’s boundaries throughout 2018 including the Migration Festival, Festival of Lights, Santa Claus Parade and Kingsville Folk Music Festival — all of which he described as contributors to a healthy local tourism sector. Focal points for 2019 in-

clude the refurbishment of Kingsville’s Lions Park and playground improvements, which among other projects, Santos explained will not be accomplished without navigating a number of hurdles. “Community development is truly very challenging at the best of times,” he said. “It can stall at any time if we don’t remember what we’ve learned in getting here.” Santos thanked Kingsville’s administrative staff, other municipal employees, community partners and volunteers for a successful 2018 as well as support from the County of Essex. From a development standpoint, he mentioned 188 new residential dwellings pegged at a construction value of about $42.5 million through the past calendar year. A sum of 415 other permits were valued at $80.8 million, in addition to two greenhouse builds cre-

ated to the tune of about $11 million. Also, 35 new commercial permits were issued worth a combined $10 million — a value five times higher than similar activity from 2017. Jasperson Lane, Graham Side Road and Heritage Road are among the roads slated for improvement in 2019 while the Active Transportation Network will continue to be developed. On the recreation side of the calendar, the Kingsville Highland Games will make their return to Lakeside Park June 22. The Kingsville Folk Music Festival will return through the second weekend of August, followed by a Tall Ships Ontario tour stop for the event’s only Canadian appearance along the shores of Lake Erie. Kingsville’s harbour will welcome four tall ships including the nationally renowned Bluenose. On the economic side, Kingsville’s Expansion and Retention Initiative will receive an update as it awaits consideration for support through a grant. The second annual Kingsville Business Awards will be held May 30 at Pelee Island Winery, for which nomination details will soon be made available. To summarize, the mayor made note of the municipality’s status as the second lowest property tax rate in the region and described its economic stability and strength as one of several drawing points. “Kingsville can again reclaim its state as the most affordable community to live in Windsor and Essex County going into this year,” Santos announced.

Happy birthday Elvis! So last week was Elvis Presley’s 84th birthday. I find that hard to believe and it makes me feel so old. As a kid, my mother loved Elvis and watched all of his movies. He never really had a lot of dialogue, but when you could sing like that, you could sing all your lines and get away with it. After all, he was Elvis. Growing up, I had a small appreciation for his music. I thought some of it was sappy, but grew to like certain songs. Mark Ribble I was really tired of hearing about him and seeing him everywhere. Having been around for Beatlemania, I was too young to get sick of the Beatles like so many others eventually did. Elvis spanned the years just before I was born until his untimely death when I was 16. The rumours of him landing a helicopter on the roof of the Pelee Motor Inn and staying there never amounted to anything that could be proven, but they were fun rumours nonetheless. As I said, my mom was a big fan, but she would be the first to admit that she liked Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck equally, if not more than the King of Rock and Roll. On August 16, 1977, I was outside in the front yard on Bruce Avenue, playing croquet with several neighbourhood friends. As I banged my green ball from wicket to wicket, my mother came out the front door and announced that Elvis was dead. Details were sketchy, but they said he died in the bathroom. I was taken by surprise, because he was the type of celebrity that you thought would be around forever. Oh sure, we’d already lost Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison by then, but they were barely on my radar at that time. The stories about Elvis being in Leamington do surface once in awhile, but I have to wonder if they will ever be substantiated. Unlike the story of Lily Tomlin staying at Wigle’s Motel and returning for several years because she absolutely loved it there. I saw pictures. It happened. So with that, I’d like to propose a new festival to those in power for the municipality. Leamington’s first annual Elvis Festival. Forget the tomato and the cannabis, we have our own (rumoured) connection to The King. Why not exploit that? Imagine if we had our new council perform as part of the festival. Picture newly minted Deputy Mayor Verbeke belting out Jailhouse Rock, or Jumpin’ John Hammond killing it with Hound Dog. The little boy from Tupelo could really put Leamington on the map. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Dry January turned a little soggy I guess I’m on the same band wagon as everyone else… no, I’m not cheering for Tom Brady and his Patriots to win the Super Bowl, I’m on the every-January-health-kick band wagon. And I gotta say, it’s crowded on here. I definitely had a very enjoyable December of eating treats and enjoying drinks with family and friends. I can lie and tell you I only gained a couple of pounds over the holidays, but the scale reveals a different story. So here Sheila I am trying hard to practice the “dry January” McBrayne method, which is to simply not drink alcohol for the month of January. Now that sounds doable, but it’s harder than you think. I started out great, but then I had hockey on Monday night and of course I have to go upstairs and replay the entire game over a cold beer. I rationalize this slip by the calories I burned playing hockey, but then comes the team plate of fries. Why are French fries so good!? I made it to Thursday when I was again faced with after-ball hockey beer. I admit it, I’m weak. Again I rationalized that I can “afford” the calories of a beer or two because I just ran for an hour, but then the team pizza is placed on the table and again will power goes out the door. The weekend certainly was not a friend of my dry January attempt. My original goal was to just not drink through the week and have a couple of glasses of wine on the weekend. I was never dedicated to a completely dry January, but I didn’t think it would get this soggy. I had a birthday party and dinner plans on the weekend, so needless to say my two-glass weekend turned into much more. By the time Sunday rolled around and I wanted to watch some NFL Wildcard football games, I found myself once again wanting a cold beer. I felt I had earned this treat as well since I walked the dog 13 kilometres that morning – not on purpose, but after a missed turn, my 5 km walk turned into a 13 km walk.

Giant map tour makes local stop By Bryan Jessop

A group of five Grade 11 students at Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School has done its share to put Indigenous issues on the map. The Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada (IPAC) Giant Floor Map, as presented by Canadian Geographic, made a stop at three Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board sites recently, including Cardinal Carter in Leamington. The 12 by 9 metre (36’ x 26’) map arrived at the local high school Monday, Jan. 7 and was set up across the floor of the auditorium stage for up close inspection by groups from three schools. A sum of nine classes accounting for nearly 300 students from Grade 4 and 5 classes at St. Louis Catholic Elementary School, Grade 7 and 8 groups from adjoining Cardinal Carter Middle School and Grade 9 to 12

pupils from hosting CCCSS took turns with one-hour presentations on the map. The lessons were prepared for and geared to specific age groups by Indigenous Studies students of Geralyn

O’Brien. Nicole Sleiman, Meggan Pedro, Lexy Iacobelli, Alexander Morin and Brayden Mazzella had one day to plan presentations for each of the groups that ‘toured’ the unique map, using it as a tool to explain the nation’s history, geography,

climate and human rights issues as experienced by Canada’s three Indigenous populations — First Nations, Inuit and Métis. “There was a huge shoutout from teachers on the knowledge of the students presenting,” O’Brien explained. “They were blown away by what they learned. With the lessons they taught, they validated the importance of the issues facing Indigenous populations.” The map was completed and presented in Ottawa on Canada’s 150th birthday July 1, 2017 and has since visited several schools from coast to coast. Framing the map itself is a timeline of landmark events pertaining to Canadian First Nations, Métis and Inuit populations from approximately 12000 BC up to 2017. The map depicts Indigenous reserves across Canada and as far south in the United States to

east to west — clearly marks Indigenous reserves of all sizes, including the Caldwell First Nation. Its contents do not include any provincial or international political borders, instead revealing the boundary limits of treaties enacted over the past several hundred years. An application to host the map for one of the tour’s three-week sessions was submitted by Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board Indigenous Education consultant Darlene Marshall. The request was sent in the spring of 2018 and confirmation was received in mid November. The map spent its first WECDSB week at the Catholic Education Centre at Assumption and then Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Elementary School in Windsor. It spent last week at Cardinal Carter, where it arrived in a hockey equipment bag along with other educational tools and literature. After

being shipped away from the local school Friday, Jan. 11, the 100-pound map made its way to the Greater Toronto Area. “We’re very excited to have it here,” Marshall explained. “They (the five Cardinal Carter Indigenous Studies students) facilitated the whole thing and did an awesome job — we’re very pleased with how it turned out.” O’Brien explained that Cardinal Carter’s ongoing partnership with Caldwell First Nation on projects including the school’s own Medicine Wheel and Living in Peace gardens in its courtyard were contributing factors in the opportunity to borrow the map for a week. “We have a good relationship with the Caldwells,” she noted. “It’s been a good experience for the students and a great way to make things better understood with the Indigenous people we live with.”

Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of IODE disbands after 65 years of service By Sheila McBrayne

LEAMINGTON – Books for Babies became one of the last acts of giving for the Leamington Chapter of the IODE. A decision was made to disband the Rt. Hon. Sir Winston Churchill Chapter of the IODE, a local service group dedicated to supporting local community projects last year. It took six to eight months to co-ordinate the disbandment with provincial and national offices. When it came to the final disbursement of funds, contributions were made to Leamington and Kingsville Goodfellows, several local area food banks and The Bridge. In addition, a generous portion of funds was designated to provide packages of Books for Babies to the Erie Shores Health Foundation maternity department. Parents of newborns at the hospital will receive a package of

books to start them on the path of reading to their babies from an early age. Approximately 300 packages of three to five books were wrapped and donated for distribution throughout the year. Jo-Anne Smith spearheaded the project with help from Judy Slater and Jo-Anne’s sister Judy Andison. There are enough books donated to provide for approximately a year, and the hope is that another local group will take up the project so that it can continue into the future. The Sir Winston Churchill Chapter received its charter in 1954 as a Junior Chapter to the Balmoral Chapter IODE, also in Leamington. After 65 years of service, the chapter, like many others across Ontario, were faced with low membership. The last copresidents of the group were Carolyn Jackson and Margery Reeb. “Volunteerism isn’t like it used to be,” said Jackson. The Balmoral

Chapter already disbanded a few years ago. The nearest chapter is Comber Chapter IODE. At the 25th anniversary celebration of Sir Winston Churchill Chapter, there were 68 members. When it disbanded, there were 19. “There was a nucleus of ladies who would have continued, but no one would take executive positions. We decided we’d just remain friends,” said Jackson. “We had ladies with us in their 80s and 90s… Our members now are grandparents and they’re busy with them,” she added. Over the years Sir Winston Churchill IODE has sponsored programs for youth and women including the playground equipment at the new Seacliff Park, a family waiting area at Erie Shores HealthCare, back packs for Children’s Aide Society and donations to area food banks and Salvation Army.

Pets of the Week

WILLIE

CAPTAIN

Willie is a very sweet and affectionate cat who loves being pet and having his neck scratched. He has no interest in playing with any toys and enjoys roaming around the house and exploring instead. Willie also likes to find himself up on your lap being showered with all the love you have!

Captain is a big guy, with a bit of a nervous and anxious side. He will likely need time to warm up to new people and surroundings, but as long as you’re patient, you’ll likely see a cuddly, affectionate side to him. He can get spooked with loud noises and quick movements, so a calmer household without youngsters running around may be best for him.

Improved water and wastewater services coming to Pelee Island PELEE ISLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pelee Island residents will soon have better access to modern, reliable water and wastewater services thanks to an investment by the Ontario government. Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls made the announcement January 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Infrastructure on Pelee Island has been an ongoing concern for us, from the ferry to maintaining year-round service for the residents, as well as the needs of the tourists it attracts,â&#x20AC;? said Nicholls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a major step in the right direction and there is more to come.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are few things more important than a reliable, safe supply of water,â&#x20AC;? added Nicholls. The investment will fund improvements to the upgrade of Pelee Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Shore Water Treatment Plant and East Shore Water Distribution Plant Generators. The new funding was announced jointly by the province and the Government of Canada, under the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF), which will fund more than 1,300 projects and provide $1.1-billion in total investments.

Municipalities to receive new transit funding $208,322 for Leamington, Chatham-Kent to receive $965,599 ONTARIO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Provincial government has announced a new program helping 107 municipalities across Ontario expand or improve their public transit systems. The funds come from Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tax program. Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent Leamington, welcomes the announcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A community needs strong transit to grow, and with $965,599 coming to Chatham-Kent, with a further $208,322 going to Leamington for a total exceeding $1-million, 2019 holds immense opportunity for all of us.â&#x20AC;? This year, the province is providing $364-million in gas tax funds for public transit service to 144 communities. These communities represent over 92 per cent of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total population. Funding for Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tax program is determined by the number of litres of gasoline sold in the province. Municipalities receiving gas tax funding must use these funds towards their public transit capital and/or operating expenditures, at their own discretion, including upgrading transit infrastructure, increasing accessibility, purchasing transit FRIDAY, vehicles, JANUARYadding 18 more routes and extending hours of service.

On the evening of Saturday, October 13, Catherine and I were visiting Uncle Frank in Gravenhurst when we attended Willie and Marieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60th wedding anniversary at the Community Centre at Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point. When we pulled into the parking lot, I could hardly believe my eyes! Parked in the middle of a row of cars was an original gleaming black 1951 Buick sedan. I was nine years old when these cars were new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they still manage to work their magic on me. Indoors at the party, we met with Colleen and Rick, the proud owners of the car. We were soon outside for a photo shoot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and cars are even more interesting when people are with them. And even better if those people are the ones who actually own the car. Three features of their 1951 Buick set it apart from cars of today. The rotating radio aerial above the windshield can be turned down by turning a knob inside the

Half Century Centre hosts successful Chili Cook-Off LEAMINGTON – The Leamington and District Half Century Centre held its fourth annual Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, January 12. Local businesses and organizations entered their chili in hopes of winning judges’ favourite and people’s choice award. This year, community participation was excellent. Along with the centre entering a chili, Colasanti’s, Knights of Columbus, Portuguese Club, Cardinal Carter Secondary School, Rosewood Erie Glen, Seacliff Manor and Chartwell Residence vied for top honours. This year’s winners were: 1st place Colasanti’s, 2nd place Chartwell Residence

and People’s Choice was also Colasanti’s. The chilis were served to 78 guests by Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, the OPP’s Katherine Burt, Deputy-Fire Chief Mike Ciacelli, Brenda Zakal and Beth Smith (Half Century Centre), Melissa Loeppgy (Erie Glen), Mitchell Patchett (Colasanti’s chef) and Councillor Tim Wilkinson. The judges were Leamington councillors Bill Dunn and Paul Tiessen and firefighter Harvey Steinhoff. This year the club raised $624.25. Proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off will go toward renovating the washrooms to make them wheelchair accessible. The club is also raising funds for a mural

on the exterior wall of the building and is currently accepting design submissions for the mural. Over half of the funding for the Half Century Centre comes from members and fundraisers. The centre provides a fun place for people over the age of 50 to be active and socialize along with card games, yoga, line dancing, darts, shuffleboard, art and billiards held on a regular basis. A must-see is the adventures of Mabel and Abel at the annual Comedy Show in July. The next fundraiser is a Valentine’s Party, and then a St. Patrick’s Dinner of corn beef and cabbage. Tickets will be available mid-February.

Seniors curl in Tier 55 competitions There are numerous competitive options that curlers can engage in that allow them to polish their skills and share a few laughs. It has been said that curling is a very social game, and how right that is. Each club has leagues that are set up to give differing levels of involvement and ability. A weekly schedule is designed to insure that teams play each other an even number of times, setting up points for ranking. After each game, the two teams who just played sit down at the same table and in a very “sportsperson-like” manner, share a beverage and hash over the highs and lows of the game. Seniors at the Sun Parlour Curling Club are especially active playing in many club leagues and also many bonspiels. One such bonspiel is the Tier 55 curling tour and games are played in rinks around a designated zone including Detroit, Michigan, and Bowling Green, Ohio. Two men’s teams recently played two games in Detroit. The Kovacs team of Les Kovacs, Paul Neilsen, Randy Bradley, Peter Scherer ended up in second place in their draw, while the Stevenson team of Tim Stevenson, Gary Koestler, Gary McRae, Lionel Aasen finished third in theirs. A great result for both. The next Tier 55 Bonspiel in Leamington is January 16.

Brett Postula of the Flyers prepares to backhand a pass to the point while drawing the attention of Chatham’s Dakota Bohn, Griffin Robinson and Craig Spence during the first period of a GOJHL game Thursday, Jan. 10 at Highbury Canco Arena. The Flyers won 4-1, advancing themselves into a tie for second place in the Western Conference with Chatham.

Leamington Flyers continue to battle for second place By Bryan Jessop

The Leamington Flyers have won another battle in the war to take control of second place. For the second time in just over a month, the Flyers sent the Maroons home with a 4-1 loss, this time to pull into a 42-point tie with Chatham in the Western Conference. With two games in hand over the Maroons, the win was also a crucial two points in chasing the London Nationals and staying ahead of the Sarnia Legionnaires. Leamington struck first on a goal by full-time player turned affiliate with the Junior C Lakeshore Canadiens Blake Bain. Taking a feed from Matthew Boring, Bain closed in alone on M’s goalie Adam Harris and slipped the puck into the lower right side of the goal. The lead was short lived however, as former Flyers Maddux Rychel and Griffin Robinson led a a successful two on one charge 25 seconds later. Robinson tapped a pass to Rychel that Zach Borgiel had little chance of stopping from between the pipes. The Flyers amassed a larger collection of scoring chances from there, but had to settle for the stalemate going into the middle stanza. Leamington’s offense carried the same momentum into the second period until the hosts ran into penalty trouble. The Flyers’ penalty kill was put into overdrive, at one point having to stave off a five-on-three Maroons power play that ran a minute and 42 seconds in length. Once back at even strength, the home team’s offense again sprang into action, creating several chances. With 40 seconds remaining, Preston Corp deflected a low Colton O’Brien shot past Harris and under the crossbar to give Leamington another one-goal lead. Adam Groat drew the other assist. The Flyers were effective at both ends of the ice in the

third, adding two insurance goals on seven shots while limiting Chatham to four shots at Borgiel. Ninety-five seconds into the period, Michael Andrews buried his 15th of the season with a wrist shot released from the outer border of the crease and into the upper left corner. Helpers went to Ryan Gagnier and Adam Jeffery. Just over three minutes later, Dylan Weston took advantage of a situation where the Maroons’ defense mishandled the puck in their own crease, tapping it into the open left side to finish the scoring. Brett Postula was credited with the lone assist. The Flyers outshot their westerly rivals 27-25 while both teams were zero for four on the power play. “Defense and our “There was a penalty kill have been lot of pressure our strengths all year,” on us tonight, so explained Leamington’s head coach Cam it was a big win.” Crowder. “We try to — Preston play a game that makes Corp the other team earn everything they get. It was a big win for us.” For Corp, the game winning goal extended his point streak to four games for three points in his last two and five in the past four. “It’s not just about any individual effort,” he explained in crediting his teammates for his success. “Together, we’re all just trying to keep it simple and get the job done. There was a lot of pressure on us tonight, so it was a big win.” On Friday, Jan. 11, the Flyers visited the St. Marys Lincolns and came home with a 4-2 win. Leamington goals were scored by Thomas Michaud, Gagnier, Levi Tetreault

and Wyatt O’Neil. The Flyers’ next home game will be Thursday, Jan. 17 at 7:10 p.m. against the LaSalle Vipers.

Lions snap winless streak By Bryan Jessop

The 2018 portion of the current WECSSAA boys’ hockey season was less than kind to the Leamington Lions. So far, 2019 has been far more promising. One day after narrowly losing to the Tier II division leading Riverside Rebels, the Lions notched their first win of the season in a 4-2 score against the visiting Lajeunesse Royals. The Wednesday, Jan. 9 match was played at Highbury Canco Arena, where Leamington brought a 0-6-1 record. The only other prior game between the two teams ended in a 6-6 draw Monday, Dec. 10 at Central Park Athletics in Windsor. Leamington’s most recent game did not start on a strong note, as Issac LeGood buried the first shot of the game exactly one minute after the opening faceoff. LeGood also did most of the damage in the December 10 game, scoring four of his team’s six goals. Despite bringing an offense that dominated the first half of the game, the LDSS squad struggled to score. The hosts earned several chances to tie the score with “Everyone’s wide open rebounds and odd-man rushes, but couldn’t relaxed and pull the trigger against Royals’ goalie Ethan Dagenais. Finally, just before the game’s midway point, Brady we’re definitely Bunda set loose a wrist shot from the slot that found the playing better.” lower right corner of the Lajeunesse net. Assists went to — Mason Nick Heyens and Kaleb Tiessen. The Lions took the lead precisely four-and-a-half Cabral minutes later when Jaxyn Lafeber banked a shot off the back of Dagenais’ left leg from the left side of the net. Heyens drew the lone assist. Thirty-nine seconds later, Mason Cabral took a forward pass from Tanner Granger to cash in on a breakaway opportunity by going top shelf with a wrist shot. The Royals pulled to within a goal early in the third when LeGood launched a wrist shot past Cameron Newman and into the top left corner. An even minute later, Brennan Pulley finished the scoring with a wrist shot from inside the faceoff circle to the left of the guests’ net, near the hash marks. Mitch Bierer assisted. “We finally played like a team and started hitting the net,” explained Kiel Reid of his team’s first win. “We played a good game yesterday too,” Cabral added. “Everyone’s relaxed and we’re definitely playing better. Today, we finally got the break we needed.” The Lions’ next game will be played Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 3 p.m. against the Cardinal Carter Cougars at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex’s Unico Arena.

Clippings from the Wheatley Journal, January 1989

Atom Minors shut out Amherstburg Playdowns have begun, and on Friday night, Jan. 11, the Southpoint Capitals Atom Minors hosted the Amherstburg Stars on the Unico ice pad. The Caps came with their game faces on for this round of playdowns. Taking control from the drop of the puck, the Caps passed swiftly and smoothly while making hard passes and relentless shots on net. Caps’ forward Mitchell Moracci opened the scoring in the first from a solid pass by defenseman Rex Pearce. Both teams managed to keep the second period scoreless, fighting to block every inch of the ice from each other’s passes and shots. Period three was dominating by the Caps once again with the Caps’ net minder Nicholas DiMilo saving and deflecting every shot made by the Stars. Third-period goals by the Caps were from Ben McFadden, Mitchell Moracci and Massimo Ingratta, with assists by Matthew Mastromatteo and Ben Arquette. Final score was 4-0 for the Capitals, taking the first two points in playdowns. On Saturday, the Caps travelled to Amherstburg for Game Two. The tension was thick as the Caps pressured the Stars during period one. Southpoint scored two goals with the Stars netting one. Goal scorers for the Caps were forwards Ben McFadden and Noah Borges, with assists from Ryder Grossi and Massimo Ingratta. Period two proved to be the Stars’ period, as they dominated play and passes to score their second of the game. With a quick break between periods, the Caps’ coaches strategized with the team before period three got away from them. This lit the team on fire and they came back from a tie to score two more goals to take the win, capturing two more points and eliminating Amherstburg this round. Goals were scored by Ryder Grossi and Ben McFadden, with assists from Noah Borges, Ryder Grossi and Ben McFadden. Gloves off to Caps’ netminders Nolan Meadows and Nicholas DiMilo for keeping their eyes on the puck, blocking and saving everything that came their way.

Wheatley enjoys outstanding soccer season. In the Sr. Boys soccer, the Wheatley team fought hard to win the Kent County Elementary School Athletic Association Area 1 Championship. Playing well all through the rounds of tough competition the Wheatley team suffered only at the hand of D.A. Gordon school but beat them nevertheless 3-2. In the championship ﬁnal the team got handed its only loss of the entire season, to Tecumseh 1 to zip.

Canadiens dominate Sharks By Bryan Jessop

Playing back to back games against teams equipped with large contingents of former Junior B players did not bode well for the Wheatley Omstead Sharks. The Sharks suffered their third straight loss Wednesday, Jan. 9 at Wheatley Area Arena, where they were on the wrong end of a 7-0 final versus the Lakeshore Canadiens. The defeat kept the Sharks winless in 2019 while they continued their efforts to catch the Blenheim Blades for sixth place and avoid being overtaken by the Petrolia Flyers to avoid dropping to eighth. A shaky start put the Sharks behind the eight-ball early on, as Lakeshore seemed to do its first period scoring in pairs. Former Leamington Flyer Jake Nimmo and Hunter Bailey made it 1-0 and 2-0 eight seconds apart, starting with a power play slap shot from the point and a turnover turned breakaway tally against Tristan Edmondson. Later, Matt Teno and Ameen Fadel scored 11 seconds apart to trigger a Sharks timeout and a netminding change to Ben Simmonds. Nathan Skulley, another former Leamington Flyer, opened the gap to 5-0 by tapping a pass into the Wheatley net’s left side about eight minutes into the second. Fadel and Dylan Bradley padded the Canadiens’ lead further to 7-0 and about two-and-a-half minutes later, Edmondson reappeared in goal to relieve Simmonds. Neither team made additions to the scoresheet in the “When you third, sealing the shutout spend too much performance for Lakeshore time puck watching, goalie Nolan Hakr. The that’s when you Sharks were outshot 34-22 get beat.” and went zero for four on — Josh the power play while the Carnevale Canadiens were one for four. “We had too many lapses and they took advantage of it,” explained Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale of the loss. “When you spend too much time puck watching, that’s when you get beat.” One night earlier, the Sharks dropped a 4-2 decision against the hosting first-place Essex 73’s. Cole Butler scored the game’s first goal, but Adam Gaiarin tied the game for Essex about three-and-a-half minutes later. Dallas Anderson and William Stadder made it 2-1 and 3-1 for the 73’s

in the middle frame less than a minute apart. Also during the second period, Wheatley’s starting goalie Catalin Morin suffered an upper body injury that prompted Edmondson to guard the net for the remainder of the match. Owen Meyerink scored the hosts’ final goal about halfway through the final frame. With two seconds to go and while shorthanded, Alixe Saliba buried the second of the evening for Wheatley. Essex outshot their guests 36-20 and went zero for four on the man advantage while the Sharks were held to zero for three. On Saturday, Jan. 12 at Windsor’s Lanspeary Park, the Sharks faced the Blenheim Blades in an outdoor game. Wheatley won 5-2 with goals provided by Saliba (2), Mason Gow, Delaney MacDonald and Ernie Godden. One day later, the busy week continued with a game in Amherstburg. Wheatley won 3-1, backed by two tallies from Braedon Caetano and another from Saliba. Wheatley’s next home game will be played Wednesday, Jan. 16 against Amherstburg, starting at 7:30 p.m.

News of the Pews WHEATLEY – The new calendar year calls for year-end housekeeping and so all the committee chairpersons at Wheatley United Church are asked to submit their annual reports to the church office no later than January 25. It’s at this time of year that it comes to light how essential volunteers are to effective churches. Unfortunately, we don’t always do a good job of developing an attitude of valuing these volunteers. Volunteers are a needed part of any church and they are the ones who make our churches run smoothly. Often they go about their job humbly serving Christ, their fellow brothers and sisters, and the community, without ever wanting or expecting to be in the limelight. So for all those who embrace humble servitude on behalf of their churches, we say “Thank You!” Upcoming at Wheatley United: Jan. 17 the Prayer Shawl group meets at 1 p.m.; Jan. 24 the Finance Committee meets and 2:30 p.m. followed by a Council meeting at 3 p.m.; and on Jan. 27 Keeping U N Stitches meets at 12:30 p.m. following worship to work on the beach bag project.

Total lunar eclipse this weekend By Gary Boyle, The Backyard Astronomer

A total lunar eclipse is a magical event to witness and our next chance comes on the night of January 20-21 with all of North America having a ringside seat for the entire show. An eclipse is a result of the perfect lineup of the sun, earth and moon. This does not occur every month as our moon has a slight incline in its orbit and often misses earth’s shadow. In contrast to a solar eclipse where the moon blocks the sun and special filters are a must for safety reasons, a lunar eclipse is simply the full moon sliding into our planet’s shadow. During totality the lunar surface turns a copper orange due to sunlight refracting or passing through our atmo-

sphere, much like those hot summer sunsets on Earth. If you were on the moon, you would see an orange ring around the earth. From this vantage point you would see every sunset on the left side of the earth along with every sunrise on the right side at the same time. The next total lunar eclipse seen from Canadian soil will take place on May 16, 2022 where the east and central part of the country is favoured to see the entire eclipse. In this area, the Eastern Time Zone, the partial eclipse begins January 20 at 10:34 p.m. when the moon enters the shadow. The total lunar eclipse begins at 11:41 p.m. with the greatest eclipse at 12:12 a.m. January 21. The total lunar eclipse ends at 12:43 a.m. The moon then completely exists the shadow and the partial eclipse ends at 1:51 a.m. January 21.

This past Sunday, Jan. 13 the Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Novice Major Capitals began their OMHA round robin play in a game versus the Riverside Rangers. Southpoint came out flying and did not stop until the final buzzer. Just three minutes after the opening face-off, Kayde Grossi fired a nice shot on net and Zack Bradley banged in the rebound to get the Caps on the board first. Eleven seconds later, Tyler Thomas tipped the puck to Brody Brown who brought the puck out front and tried to jam it in. Brayden Foster found the loose puck and fired it in to take a two-goal lead. Shortly after, AJ Youssef stopped a clearing attempt, skated in and made a nice pass to Brody Brown who buried his shot from the slot. With a minute to go in the opening period, Owen Derksen and Brayden Foster battled along the wall in their own end. Brown found the puck in the scrum and carried it the length of the ice and ripped his shot five-hole to go up by four after one. Late in the middle frame, Jonathan Recker won the draw to Sloan Smith, who pushed the puck back to Ben Liebrock. Liebrock lifted his shot up and over the goalie to go up by five. Six minutes into the third, Kayde Grossi kept the puck in at the line and fired on net. Tyler Thomas was able to find it and slammed in the rebound. Two minutes later, Owen Derksen shot on net and Zack Bradley corralled the puck, turned, and made no mistake wiring his wrist shot in bar down. With three to go, Ben Liebrock dumped the puck in to Bradley, who found Brown behind the net, and he wrapped around his hat trick goal. Finally, with a little over a minute remaining, Charlie Ketler moved the puck up to Jonathan Recker, who passed up to Zack Bradley, who weaved in and made a nice move before ripping in his hat trick goal. Karly Franklin and Christian Papp, though not overly busy, made all the saves they needed in splitting the shutout in Southpoint’s opening 9-0 win over the Rangers.

24 - Southpoint Sun

Top teams square off in rival battle The top place Novice Local League teams met for the first time in Leamington on Saturday, Jan. 12 with Kingsville Green pitted against Southpoint Blue in a playoff preview. Sam Ward needed to stand tall early, facing a barrage of Southpoint shots, and he rose to the occasion. Quinn Monminie continued to lead the Green Machine’s potent offense, taking advantage of the Olympic ice and putting up four goals on the day. ‘Billy the Kid’ Loncke showed off his sharp-shooting skills going five-hole, while Jasper Dunford was Johnny on the spot, tucking home a rebound to round out the

scoring. Colby Snoei (2), Mackenna Michalski, Alexander Pallotto, Tyson Everaert, Keaton Morphet and Dunford picked up helpers. Southpoint converted on a couple of neutral zone lapses to snuff out Ward’s shutout aspirations as the final horn sounded in a 6-2 Green Machine win. The score was not a true reflection of the game as the squads played very evenly. Game 2 of the home-and-home takes place in Kingsville this coming Saturday, Jan. 19, at 11 a.m. Tickets are complimentary but seating is limited – be sure to arrive early.
