KINGSVILLE – The Highland Games are coming and will once again be gracing the north shores of Lake Erie in a celebration of Scottish and Celtic culture. On Saturday, June 22, 2019, Lakeside Park in Kingsville will provide a stunning backdrop for bagpipes, caber tossers and Highland dancers. The last time the games took place in Kingsville was 1987, attracting over 6,000 visitors. The Kingsville Highland Games will provide residents and visitors alike with an opportunity to celebrate Celtic and Scottish traditions. “The Town of Kingsville continues to support and seek opportunities to enhance community events and initiatives that promote social cohesion, community pride, and increase awareness of local traditions and talents,” said Maggie Duro-

cher, Manager of Parks and Recreation Programs and Special Events. The day includes an exciting array of food, vendors, music, demonstrations and competitions, including a Highland Dance Competition, Sheep Herding Demonstrations, a Scottish Athletic Heavy Event Competition, and even a Mayors’ Haggis Hurl. “All of our Essex County mayors are invited to

participate in this cultural delicacy,” said Mayor Nelson Santos. “It will take great strategy and a true mayoral touch to succeed at this incredible hurling of the haggis.” The Town of Kingsville has been successful in their bid for financial assistance through the Ontario Culture Attractions Fund, a program of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, administered by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund Corporation. This money will assist in marketing the Highland Games to an expanded market. “There’s been great enthusiasm and support from the community for the return of the Highland Games and we’re certainly looking forward to seeing a little piece of Kingsville’s history return to Lakeside Park,” said Mayor Santos. “The committee and staff are working hard to keep the tradition and spirit of the games in the forefront and it’s shaping up to be a fun, family outing that everyone will enjoy.” The Highland Games are Saturday, June 22 at Lakeside Park, 315 Queen St. Tickets are $20 and will be available soon. Ages 12 and under are free. The full schedule of events is on the town’s website at www.kingsville.ca.

Pin-It Canada Spring Craft Show coming to Leamington By Pat Bailey

LEAMINGTON – You could say Pin-It Canada had its humble beginnings in an area church more than three decades ago. When local mothers were overwhelmed and needed a distraction and a creative outlet, many headed to Epworth United Church to ‘Take a Break’. The YMCA based program, led by Audrey deYong and Marg (formerly Rollo) Gohl, gave moms a chance to take time out of their busy lives to meet other women to share ideas and advice in a supportive atmosphere, while their youngsters were cared for by a babysitter downstairs. While deYong moved on to Nairn, ON, near London, in 1991, her love of creativity and teaching continued. DeYong fulfilled this love of teaching by taking on about 100 students in her in-home art studio. Five years later, after becoming discouraged “My hope is by having to travel to the U.S. for conferences to have Pin-It and workshops to learn new painting techniques, deYong decided to bring the creative industry to Canada be ‘the London with her first show – ’Southwestern Ontario show’ to attend in Paint In’. Canada,” The founder of Coast to Coast Events managed to – Audrey turn her hobby into a career and is enjoying “every deYong minute of it.” On April 5 and 6, deYong and Gohl will bring the Pin-It Canada Spring Craft Show back to their old stomping grounds. The Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex will host the art show that promises to bring together several art forms, including the works of many local artisans, to showcase their crafts. As a twist, workshops will also be offered to introduce attendees to several art forms that may catch their eye and inspiration at the show. The organizer likes to refer to it as Pinterest comes to life. DeYong said her show not only offers guests a chance to peruse others’ wares, it also gives them a chance to make their own. At the Complex show, deYong said for a nominal fee guests will be given an opportunity to register for a variety of workshops and create their own masterpieces. Workshops will include: Here’s to Ewe, wool applique mug rug by Sande Gunning; Paint Pouring Techniques by Beth Buhler of Leamington’s Creative Touch Studio; Alcohol Ink Workshop by Tina Hois of Wylde Rayne Studio; and finally, Paper Perfect Package, also by Tina Hois. DeYong has high hopes for Pin-It Canada.

Leamington mayor to host coffee chats LEAMINGTON – The Mayor of the Municipality of Leamington is aiming to increase the direct engagement and connection with Leamington residents outside of Council meetings and other official events. To do that, Mayor Hilda MacDonald will be hosting coffee Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald with the mayor events throughout the year. These “Coffee Chats” will provide Leamington residents and Mayor MacDonald an opportunity to have one-on-one conversations in a relaxed and informal setting. “The casual atmosphere and great coffee are a perfect combination for the exchange of ideas, feedback and general community building,” said Mayor MacDonald. The first Coffee Chat will be held Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Leamington Municipal Building, 111 Erie St. N., Leamington. All residents are invited to attend.

Marg Gohl (left) and Audrey deYong will give local artisans and art lovers a chance to see Pinterest come to life locally at the Pin-It Canada Spring Craft Show in Leamington on April 5 and 6.

“My hope is to have Pin-It Canada be ‘the show’ to attend in Canada,” she said. “We have expanded the show into three larger shows – London, Calgary and Montreal – and two popup shows, the one in Leamington in the spring and Port Elgin in the fall.” The show will open at 4 p.m. Friday, April 5 and run until 8 p.m. It will re-open Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. “I hope that people will come together to learn, grow, share and have fun,” she concluded.

The latest honour bestowed upon Rick Taves was an achievement a quarter century in the making. During the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority’s annual general meeting at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus Thursday, Feb. 21, Taves received the authority’s Volunteer Hero Award. The honour was presented by the LTVCA’s manager of conservation lands and services Randall Van Wagner in the form of a plaque commemorating Taves’ 25 years of volunteer efforts at the Two Creeks Conservation Area, immediately north of Wheatley. “I was very proud to receive that award,” Taves said. “I received the Diamond Jubilee medal a few years “I love being ago, but this one (the LTVCA Volunteer Hero Award) is there, even just more important to me — it’s more local.” Taves’ involvement with the maintenance and preserto walk through it. vation of the LTVCA’s Two Creeks site actually spans It’s good for roughly the past 27 years… and counting. In the early the soul.” 1990s, he was the LTVCA board representative for Romney Township. At the time, discussions were un— Rick Taves derway to sell off the Two Creeks property — a proposal that may have been carried out had it not been for intervention from Taves and a group of fellow volunteers acting on behalf of Two Creeks’ conservation. The group underwent efforts to make the local LTVCA site a hub for public events including community walks, service club gatherings and fall festivals. Taves was president of Friends of Two Creeks — which became the Wheatley Two Creeks Association in 2003 — from 1992 until last year, when Gerry Soulliere became the new president and Joe Pinsonneault took over as vice president. During that time, Taves served one year as interim vice president. He noted that volunteers in all capacities are worthy of recognition, regardless of how easy or difficult it is to notice the impact they make. “My volunteerism is very visible because Two Creeks is very visible,” Taves explained. “The hundreds of people whose work is less visible work equally hard or harder — hockey, soccer and skating coaches, volunteering in schools and senior homes, maintaining community gardens are examples.” Presently, Taves continues to volunteer at Two Creeks as a member of the board of directors. He continues to mow and maintain the 85-acre facility’s trails and serves on its music committee for the yearly Summer Concert Series. “There’s always a lot to do there,” he said, noting that when 80-foot tall white pine trees stand seven feet apart, there is often a significant amount of ‘tree culling’ or thinning to do. “I’ll always want to be involved there in some way. I love being there, even just to walk through it. It’s good for the soul.” Taves is also the last founding member and director of The Bank Theatre and Meeting Place’s building committee. His own plans at the nearly renovated facility include getting back into the local theatre scene as both an actor and director. In the meantime, he is also one of the four members of the musical group Weimar — named after a district in Germany — that performs cabaret and other styles of European music of the 1920s.

Lake Erie conservation officers to be moved inland WHEATLEY – The Provincial government is opening up the Lake Erie fishery to destructive overfishing and poaching with its decision to move a crew of fisheries conservation officers 50 kilometres inland. “Doug Ford is sending Lake Erie conservation officers up the creek without a paddle,” said OPSEU president Warren (Smokey) Thomas. “If they’re not stationed by the lake, who’s going to enforce the law and stop the kind of overfishing that could lead to a complete collapse?” For decades, Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry (MNRF) conservation officers have been stationed in the village of Wheatley, which is known as the “freshwater fish capital of the world.” From their dockside workplace, the officers have kept a close eye on both the commercial and sport fisheries from Wheatley to Kingsville and beyond. They lay hundreds of charges annually related to poaching, overfishing, fishing without licences and fishing with illegal equipment. But internal MNRF documents show the ministry is poised to move the Wheatley conservation officers nearly 50 kilometres inland and tuck them away at an office in Chatham. “Wheatley is the busiest fresh-water fishing port in the country, ” said Thomas. “Moving the conservation officers so far away is like closing the local police department and expecting the officers to enforce the laws from three towns down the highway. “The poachers will be happy. Everybody else will suffer,” said Thomas.

The Windsor Essex CAS applied for the RBC Future Launch grant for the youth employment project, which will be hosted by The Bridge.

Groups unite for youth employment education project When it comes to helping struggling local youths prepare for the job market, good things come in fours. Youths from across Essex County struggling with poverty, mental health, lack of support and isolation issues will receive vital instruction on how to find a place in the workforce thanks to a partnership formed by four organizations. The project, dubbed “Capturing a Future Through Life Opportunities, Leadership and Experience,” took its first step towards fruition when the Windsor Essex Children’s Aid Society applied for funding through Royal Bank Canada’s (RBC) nationwide Future Launch Grant. In response, the RBC offered the WECAS a “This will be a $50,000 grant to implegreat opportunity ment the one-year pilot for youths looking project. The funding offor options outside fered to the local group is of a post secondary part of a 10-year commiteducation.” ment from RBC that will — Mike Clark support non-profit community projects across Canada to a combined sum of $500 million. The contribution was made official during a gathering at The Bridge Leamington Youth Resource Centre on Sherk Street Thursday, March 21. The Bridge will serve as one of the partners involved with the project by offering its facilities as the host site for three rounds of the 12-week program. An average of nine youths ages 14 to 18 will attend sessions at The Bridge twice per week. The project will also include temporary co-op job placements for involved youths at Highline Mushrooms — the program’s fourth partner.

to attain employment — a process that will range from resume writing and job interviews to experience through the co-op placements at Highline Mushrooms. “This will be a great opportunity for youths looking for options outside of a post secondary education,” Clark explained. Without suitable accommodations at its Hub 33 address, the WECAS turned to The Bridge as a host site for the project. Staff at the youth resource centre will oversee instructors or ‘leadership navigators’ for the pilot program. The recruitment and use of instructors is included in the $50,000 budget for “Capturing a Future.” “It’s not even just about the funding,” said RBC vice president of business financial services David Ochs of supporting the local project. “It’s about addressing the gap between employment and youth.” Ochs explained that the Windsor-Essex portion of the Future Launch Grant is based on achieving three goals — providing youths with crucial work experience, developing employment networks for those looking to enter the workforce and gaining new skills. Kim Marks, chief financial officer at Highline Mushrooms, explained that in some cases, co-op workers at the local company join Highline as full time employees following their placements.

The veterans deserve a place Although we don’t often think about honouring veterans until the leaves start to fall in late October, I’ve been involved for the past couple months with a very rewarding project that happens to be near and dear to my heart. My nephew, Jerry Ribble, approached me last fall with an idea to start a veterans banner project in Leamington, similar to the ones in Wheatley and Kingsville. Jerry’s two sons are currently serving in the U.S. military, so the veteran project hits home for him as well. My uncle, and his great-uncle, Bob Sovie, is about to turn 93 in May and they had been talking at a family gathering last summer, about his service to this country. Uncle Bob served in the Second World War Mark Ribble and also in the Korean Conflict. He was a leading seaman in the Royal Canadian Navy, spending most of his time aboard the HMCS Huron. When I was just a kid, he’d talk briefly about his time spent in Korea and Japan. At the time, I really didn’t understand the scope of that whole war thing. My dad had been in the army during the Second World War, so army and navy stories were commonplace around our house. I must have thought that every kid’s father had been in the war so it was no big deal and I often didn’t stick around to listen to the tales being regaled. As an adult, I grew to love and respect these stories. These are the types of stories that are quickly fading away with each passing veteran. The Leamington Hometown Heroes Project was established to re-kindle those flames of patriotism in the community, just as the projects in Wheatley and Kingsville have done. Banners will be hung along the newly renovated Mill Street West corridor, and will end at the cenotaph. They will be there from early October until after Remembrance Day. This location should serve to help rejuvenate the Remembrance Day parade, which has faded away in Leamington since the demise of Branch 84. The hope is that we can have those who are able, to gather near the Baptist Church and walk in formation east on Mill Street to the cenotaph for the service. This will be a big step in honouring those veterans whose banners are on display. The banner committee is busy approving applications at this early stage and we have room for 52 of them, so if you are thinking of honouring a relative or any other veteran who served in wartime, feel free to get in touch with me at 519-551-1890. I’d be happy to help you get the process started. The cost to get a banner done is currently about $120 plus tax and we are handling all of the artwork and proofing here at Southpoint Publishing. All you need is a form and photo; it’s really that easy.

Salute to Veterans program KINGSVILLE – Mary-Maureen Atkin (left) looks through a photo album with Gerry and Ruth Crisford of Cottam at the Saturday, March 23 open house at the Kingsville Legion Br. 188 for the Salute To Veterans program. The event was a huge success and response to the program has been phenomenal, according to Atkin. She said the program to honour veterans and military members currently serving will have the banners installed and on display from August through November in Kingsville, Cottam and Ruthven. She said they are hoping for 60 to 70 this year. Atkin said part of the success is due in part to the tremendous support of town council. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

C-K, Leamington, Twp. of Pelee Island to receive new funds PROVINCIAL – On March 20, 2019, Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced a one-time investment for many of Ontario’s small and rural municipalities with 405 municipalities receiving funding to improve service delivery. This will support some of Ontario’s small and rural municipalities that may have limited capacity to plan, modernize and improve the way they provide services to their communities. “A mixture of size and specific needs go into the allocation process,” said Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent Leamington. “Chatham-Kent will receive $725,000, with Leamington at $620,201 and Pelee Township getting $234,800.” He added that Chatham-Kent’s investment is the highest available under the directive. “With a tight budget from Ontario’s roughly $350-billion debt load, my office has been working hard to get fair and long overdue funds to local infrastructure,” said Nicholls. The one-time injection is aimed at creating budget room to search more aggressively for updated means of delivering key services. Incorporating digital technology to hasten turnaround times on record requests, transit scheduling, and infrastructure repairs are among best practices found in other jurisdictions. Specifics on the use of the money are left with municipalities in the hopes of strengthening the Municipal-Provincial relationship as well as local decision-making autonomy.

Local churches support Muslim residents By Bryan Jessop

A week after the worst of what humanity is capable of unraveled on the other side of the world, the best of what it can do took place in Leamington. St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church on Erie Street North was the site of a showing of support for Muslims living in the community and around the world, as members of various Christian churches from across the Leamington area converged for a demonstration Friday, March 22. A group representing churches including North Leamington United Mennonite Church, Faith Mennonite Church, St. Paul’s Lu“It was a theran Church and the wonderful symbol hosting St. John’s Angliof love. We’d do the can gathered at the front same for them — of the site to join hands we’re both fighting to demonstrate support against extremism.” for Muslims across the world in response to the — Najam Jutt Friday, March 15 mass shooting and killing of 50 Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. At the same time, a group of more than 30 worshippers living in the Leamington area gathered in the St. John’s basement for a Muslim prayer service led by Najam Jutt. For the past two-plus years, local Muslims have gathered

Sylvia Swaitoschik, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, after she makes a donation on behalf of her church during a gathering at St. John’s the Evangelist Church on Erie Street North Friday, March 22.

ing Ramadan. “It was a wonderful symbol of love,” Jutt said of the Christian gathering outside St. John’s Church. “We’d do the same for them — we’re both fighting against extremism.” During the March 22 service, Jutt commented on a gathering of support in Christchurch held earlier that day, attended by 5,000 Muslims and 15,000 non Muslims. “It was unbelievable. I cried when I saw that,” he said. “I was shaken to my core. It’s mind boggling. Today, the Christian community is standing outside the church (St. John’s) in protection.” A similar event took place in Leamington in February of 2017 following a mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City that left six dead. As a part of that gathering in Leamington, members of local Christian churches organized a march to the municipal building further north along Erie Street. As a function within the Leamington Area Ecumenical Refugee Committee formed about 14 years ago by St. John’s and other local Christian churches, a church picnic is held each September that includes halal hot dogs. Rev. Andrew Wilson of St. John’s Evangelical Church explained that the basement of his church was offered as a place of worship for local Muslims in need of a location to observe Ramadan — which it has now hosted three times. “With a Muslim population growing in the community, they needed a space big enough for their families,” he noted. “It just kind of expanded from there. It’s great that people from all over the place can connect with each other. It creates a place where they can do things together.”

Talbot Street and east of town By Shelley Craig

WHEATLEY – Sunday, March 31 is Talbot Street turn to have the worship service at the Talbot Street United Community Church with Pastor Eric Skillings leading at 11 a.m. AED and stairlift available as needed. All welcome to our rural setting. On Sunday, April 7 the worship service will be at St. Luke’s up the Bloomfield at the 15th Concession. Saturday, April 6 there will be a Roast Beef Fundraiser for the North Buxton Church. Wednesdays are the Faith Talks in the Charing Cross kitchen at 10 a.m. All beliefs welcome. The Wheatley Churches Food Bank volunteers are grateful for your donations and contributions. Our prayers of encouragement are with Carol, Clarence Janisse, Margaret Dodman, Jamie Armstrong, Florence Willan, Jon G., Tom C., Olga D. and Terry Shanks. There have been recent changes to the landscape in the former Romney Township. The Franklin home in Coatsworth has been taken down and the old landmark Piron House up on the ridge at the corner of the Coat-

sworth Sideroad and Talbot Trail has been demolished. We haven’t heard of any future replacement plans for either building. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Shelley Craig redeemed a Christmas gift voucher from all the children and grandchildren by traveling the VIA to Toronto to be taken to dinner by Melisse Craig then escorted to and from the Wednesday matinee of “Come From Away” at the Elgin Theatre. Being in the smaller theatre, it seemed more personal and intimate than the larger ones. Then she was accompanied by Melisse back to Union Station. Shelley managed to hold off breaking out into a full noseblowing, chest rattling cold till getting back home. In the meantime, Monique Newman and Holi of Oakville visited with her father Tom Craig. Holi (a Labradoodle) was quite fascinated to see groups of seven or so wild turkeys approach our front screen porch, look her in the eye and almost demand she put out some cracked corn. Many thanks to all involved for their efforts and help.

The work of 31 artists was featured at the WFCU Credit Union Painting Competition and Exhibit. Pictured here are some of the artists at the Awards Reception held March 22.

Council approves Goslin Drain project By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Acting on a report filed about a month earlier, Municipal Council has agreed to tender a project based on required improvements and repairs. Baird AE Architecture and Engineering conducted a study of the 19 culverts built as part of the Goslin Drain along County Road 37 and found that some required minor upgrades such as the installation of new Gabion stone at the ends of the corrugated steel pipes. Baird’s report was submitted to the municipality in mid February, noting that two of the 19 culverts have outright failed and require replacement, at lengths of 55 and 38.55 metres or 180 and 126 feet. The areas in need of replacement or maintenance are zoned as residential and agricultural. In April of last year, Leamington administration organized a site meeting where one of the affected culverts was discussed as being in need of replacement. After further review, it was determined that that report did not sufficiently assess the upgrade needs of the Goslin Drain, prompting the need for a study and report from Baird AE. In total, Baird estimates the construction project to come at a cost of $136,350 or $164,190 after taxes and fees including, design, surveys, expenses and drafting. The majority of the costs stem from the replacements of culverts 7 and 9 — the two that the study found to have failed. The report suggested that the County of Essex pay for 60 per cent of replacing Culvert 7 and 50 per cent of Culvert 9. “The county accepts the amounts the reports suggests that it pays,” noted County of Essex field services engineer Mark Fishleigh during the Leamington council meeting where the Baird report and relating recommendations were considered. Landowners and the Municipality will split the remainder of construction costs, which will also include maintenance and upgrades to culverts not being replaced. Affected property owners within the farm tax class are eligible for an OMAFRA grant up to a potential of $18,406. By accepting the recommendations as submitted by Leamington drainage superintendent Lu-Ann Marentette, council will seek out a contractor to offer a price within the 2019 budget of $165,000.

1948 Monarch 4-door sedan owned by Philip Wilson of Toronto.

1948 Monarch was built in Windsor A 1948 Monarch four-door sedan was reportedly sold new in St. Foy, Quebec, and remained in the same family for 50 years. Finally, around 1998, the son of the original owner sold the THE car to Joe Chiavetti, who resold it to Philip Wilson OLD CAR of Toronto, who still owns it today. DETECTIVE Philip writes: “My 1948 Monarch is in mostly Bill Sherk original condition with fenders and hood and a rear door repainted by the previous owner’s son or daughter to cover the bumps and scrapes when it was put in and out of winter storage. “The rest of the car retains its original patina in grey with a bit of primer showing through in places. The odometer showed 30,912 miles when brought out of storage in June 2015 and has now turned over 34,400 miles.” Under the hood is a flathead V8 engine with 239 cubic inches cranking out 97 horsepower. The gearshift for the three-speed manual transmission is mounted on the steering column. Hot rodders in the 1950s often put floor shifts in these cars but this Monarch has remained original. Ford of Canada introduced the Monarch in 1946 as the Canadian version of the Mercury on a 118-inch wheelbase, four inches longer than the Ford. The extra length was all ahead of the firewall with a four-inch longer hood and front fenders. At this time, Ford of Canada set up two separate dealerships across the country. Ford dealers sold the Monarch, giving them a car to sell in the medium-price field. The other dealerships sold the Mercury and Lincoln, along with the Mercury 114 — basically a Ford with Mercury trim, giving those dealerships a car to sell in the lower-price field. Five body styles were available for the 1946 Monarch, including a wood-bodied station wagon and a convertible. The four-door sedan was far more popular than the twodoor sedan and that body style was dropped from Monarch the following year. For 1948, the station wagon and convertible were also dropped, leaving only the Monarch four-door sedan (410 built) and sedan coupe (313 built), making these two models very rare today.

For organizers seeking to understand the Special Event application process for events held on municipal property, administration is offering a Special Event Paperwork and Information workshop on Wednesday, April 10 from 7-9 p.m. at the Chatham Civic Centre, 315 King St. W. “Organizers planning events on municipal property are required to make application,” said Jeff Bray, Manager, Parks and Open Spaces. “We are striving to make the process efficient and easy for organizers.” Cougar Robotics from Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School tied for third place at the Ontario District Georgian College Event held in Barrie.

Cougar Robotics tie for third at district event, win Creativity Award By Jacob Taylor, CCCSS Student

LEAMINGTON – FIRST Robotics Team 4932, Cougar Robotics, from Cardinal Carter Catholic Secondary School in Leamington, returned from their first district robotics competition of the year (March 15-17) with proud smiles after tying for third place and being awarded with the Creativity Award, ranking them 26 out of 173 teams in Ontario. Early Friday morning, the high school team packed up and travelled to compete at the Ontario District Georgian College Event in Barrie. With their excellent robot design and drive team, they battled hard against other teams from around Ontario and Michigan, finishing up in fourth out of 26 teams after qualification rounds. During alliance selection, the team moved up to take the place as captains of the third alliance. Allied with FRC team 2634 and 7200, Cougar Robotics beat out the sixth alliance and came to a close defeat in the semi-finals against the second alliance. In addition to their match performance, Cougar Robotics were recognized for their unique climbing mechanism, 3D printed parts and tank tread drivetrain through the Creativity Award. With only six weeks to design, build and program the robot, the team was very hard at work to make this robot a reality. “Our team worked so hard from the moment the game was released on January 5th,” said Hannah Iacobelli, mentor and former captain of Cougar Robotics. Cougar Robotics is currently preparing for their next competition at the St. Denis Centre at the University of Windsor from March 28-30. With strategy and robot performance, they look to capture a spot in the Ontario District Provincial Championship, and possibly qualify for the World Championships in Detroit in April. With the support of their mentors and many generous sponsors, Cougar Robotics has already accomplished more at the Georgian event than their previous years, with so much possibility still ahead for this season.

Polar Bear Dip raises more than $38,000 for ChildCan and ACCESS

The Budo Judo Club of Windsor not only took a dip in Lake Erie on Saturday, they also showed off some of their moves.

KINGSVILLE – It was just another balmy day at the beach — the sun was beating down as about 125 waited to take a dip in Lake Erie on Cedar Beach in the 19th annual Polar Bear Dip on Saturday, March 23. While the temperature onshore was more than comfortable, the open waters of the lake registered at a little chilly .5º Celsius. For one dipper in particular, “it was the perfect year to take part.” Cordell Green has participated in the annual Polar Bear Dip for about 15 years — as emcee. Saturday he pulled double duty. After politely turning down the dipping challenge on more than one occasion, this year he caved in to the pressure. Green said when orga-

nizers approached him and asked if he’d be willing to dip if his participation meant more money for the benefitting charities —ACCESS and ChildCan — he couldn’t say no. So Green said he agreed to jump in the lake with the top fundraising team, and Saturday that team was the Dippy Chicks from Leamington’s ladies hockey league, which raised $6,753. Despite being a little nervous about his inaugural dip, Green joined the Dippy Chicks for the dipping finale. Following the dip, a soaking wet Green admitted it wasn’t as bad as he expected. But he also said he was glad he followed his own instincts, wearing pajama pants and a hoodie over his swim trunks. He said people warned him that the more clothes he wore, the tougher it would

be. Green said ‘if’ he had to do it all over, he’d stick with his chosen wardrobe. Another first timer, ACCESS executive director John Sutton, decided to wear swim trunks for his polar plunge. Sutton, like Green, folded to the pressure this year. They joined the long list of dippers who traded their parkas for swim trunks, capes and even judo uniforms — all in the name of charity. More than $38,000 was raised and will be split between ACCESS and ChildCan. The top individual fundraiser was Tom Roelens of the South Shore Scuba Club, followed closely by Laura Spencer and Tim Butt. This was the 19th year for the dip, which has raised well over a million dollars over the years.

Novice Caps lead OMHA finals By Bryan Jessop

The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Capitals are making an impact that extends well beyond the boarders of their own league. The local Novice Major A team has advanced to the Ontario Minor Hockey Association ‘West’ championship series, where it leads the Welland Tigers four points to two. Like preceding playdown series, the first team to collect six points is declared the round’s winners. Although the Capitals are one win away from capturing the Novice A West title — the final round of OMHA playdowns — head coach Tony Youssef explained that the series is far from over. “We’ll have to come out flying like we always do,” he explained. “We’ve got to keep the puck deep against this team.

day, March 24. With just under three minutes to go in the first, Derksen started a play by feeding Kayde Grossi with a pass, who in turn set up Thomas. The Welland netminder stopped the Thomas shot, but couldn’t prevent Grossi from sinking the rebound for a 1-0 Caps’ lead. In the second period, Kayden Cook made his way around two Tigers defenders before firing a top shelf wrist shot into the left corner. Assists were earned by Isaiah Georges and Grossi. Early in the third, Welland’s Dylan Wood squeaked a shot past Franklin to cut the lead in half. The Caps kept the Tigers at bay for the remainder of the game until Thomas thwarted a clearing attempt in the dying seconds with an empty Welland net. With 1.7 seconds remaining, he promptly fired the disc into the goal for another 3-1 win. “We played a solid game, but we’ve got to bury more chances and keep control of the game,” Tony Youssef noted. Overall, the Novice Major Capitals have built a 2018’19 record of 50 wins, 13 losses and six ties. They’ve won three of their five tournaments and were finalists in the other two. Playdowns began with a double round robin schedule against familiar opposition from Amherstburg, Erie North Shore, Essex, Riverside and St. Thomas. With a 9-1 record and 18 points, the first-place Southpoint team advanced to the West semifinals against the St. Thomas Stars — the only team to defeat them in the round robin quarterfinals. The Capitals lost the first game 2-1, won Game 2 4-1 and then were pushed to the brink of elimination with a 2-1 loss. Southpoint bounced back from there however, winning 2-1 in St. Thomas on March 3 and then wrapping up the series in the final match of the series with a 2-1 victory on home ice. Meanwhile, Welland swept Glanbrook 6-0 in the quarterfinals and eliminated New Hamburg six points to two in the semis.

Flyers complete comeback By Bryan Jessop

A ‘never say die’ attitude has earned the Leamington Flyers their fifth Western Conference finals appearance in the past six years. The Flyers were pushed to the brink of elimination by the underdog Komoka squad in a Western Conference semifinal series that ended four games to three favouring the Flyers after the local team fell behind 3-1. Leamington played the entire series without leading scorer Adam Jeffery, who was sidelined by a cut to his ankle during a practice following the completion of the quarterfinals against Strathroy. The Flyers won Game 5 in Leamington 4-1 on Thursday, March 21 to force a sixth game in Komoka two days later. The hosts outshot the Kings in all three periods to put an end to late game dry spells that plaqued their offense in Games 2 through 4. Neither netminder was tested frequently through the game’s first few minutes, although the teams played mostly a back and forth contest in the opening frame.

Leamington forward lines were given a jump start after the first goal by Johnny Ulicny, a wrist shot from about 20 feet inside the blue line that beat Owen Say at knee height. Assists went to Liam Hall and Matthew Boring. Leamington came inches shy of taking a 3-0 lead into the first intermission, as Michael Andrews and Dylan Weston both wrung shots off posts, the latter three seconds prior to the first buzzer. Andrews expanded the Flyers’ lead within the first quarter of the middle stanza, setting loose a wrist shot from near the faceoff dot to the left of Say’s net. Wyatt O’Neil drew the assist. Komoka cut the lead in half about six-and-a-half minutes later when Blake McConnell-Barker redirected an ice level shot to solve Zach Borgiel from close range. Ulincy struck again early in the third after cashing in on a play where Matthew Boring led an offensive charge into Kings’ territory. “Boring went in wide to the net and dove in hard,” Ulicny explained of his fourth goal of the playoffs.

“He made a great play. I just crashed the net and it went in.” With 88 seconds to go and on their last of four power plays, the Flyers wrapped up the scoring with a quick wrist shot from the slot by Zach Taylor. Brett Postula and Andrews assisted. Leamington outshot the visitors 39-22 and went one for four on the man advantage while Komoka was zero for one. “Everything starts with work ethic,” Flyers head coach Cam Crowder said of the Game 5 win. “We worked hard with our legs and mentally as well. We’ll still have our backs against the wall for Game 6, so we’ll have to do more of the same thing.” “We had a good practice Wednesday and built a lot of energy and positivity,” Ulicny added. “We’re not giving up — we’ve got to keep this up and force a Game 7.” Leamington won Game 6 on Saturday 3-0 in Komoka, forcing a March 24 Game 7 at Highbury Canco Arena. After two scoreless periods, Flyers goals came from Rory DiNiro, Weston and an emp-

ty netter by DiNiro. Leamington established a narrow 21-20 shots advantage while going zero for one on the power play compared to Komoka’s zero for three. The Flyers’ defence again came up big in Game 7, granting the Red and White another 3-0 win to advance to the conference final against London. Liam Hall started the scoring in the latter half of the second frame, followed by a Ryan Gagnier tally early in the third. DiNiro again potted the empty netter, this time with precisely two minutes

remaining. Leamington registered a shots advantage of 44-31, with the same power play stats as in Game 6. Borgiel earned both shutouts for a total of three in the series, allowing one goal in the last three contests. On Tuesday, March 19, the Kings took a 3-1 series lead with a 5-2 victory on home ice. Thomas Michaud tied the game at 1-1 early in the second, but the Kings came up with the next two for a 3-1 advantage. Ulicny pulled Leamington to within a goal, but another unproductive third period denied the Flyers any hopes of forcing overtime while Komoka

added a power play and eventually empty net tallies. The Western finals will begin Thursday, March 28 in Leamington. Game 2 will be in London Saturday, March 30, Game 3 will bring the teams back to Highbury Canco Arena Sunday, March 31 and Game 4 will take place Wednesday, Apr. 3 in London. If necessary, Game 5 will be in Leamington Thursday, Apr. 4. Game 6 will be in London Sunday, Apr. 7 and Game 7 will be hosted by the Flyers Monday, Apr. 8. All games in London will begin at 7 p.m. while games in Leamington will start at 7:10 p.m.

Atom Blue takes out Ravens Red in semi-finals

Bantam girls hockey playoffs Siobhan Mulligan of the South County Kingsville Predators maneuvers with the puck to the right of Southpoint Naples Pizza bantam Stars Evan Gualtieri’s net during the third period of a Sunday, March 24 playoff game at Unico Arena. The top-ranked Kingsville team — which has lost only one game through the season — held on to post a 1-0 victory. Gualtieri played a brilliant game in the host team’s net while her forwards applied pressure to bounce back from the early first-period goal, but the Stars couldn’t come up with an equalizer.

Kingsville Novice Green advances to championship

On Sunday, March 24, the Southpoint Capitals Atom Blue LL, sponsored by Windsor Factory Supply, traveled to Essex to take on Essex Ravens Red in a semi-final match. Caden Raffoul had a nice break away from the blue line and found the back of the Ravens’ net to get the Capitals on the board early in the game. The Ravens took a time out, but the talk from the bench did not do enough to shut down the Caps as Keegan Hatt worked the puck up the boards to Raffoul, who tipped it to Dylan Marchand, who finished with a wrist shot to the back of the Ravens’ net to give the Capitals a two-goal lead going in the second period. The Ravens fought back in the second, scoring two goals, but the Caps fought harder with Marchand picking up another goal. The assist went to Kyle Bradley. Defensemen Brent Pimentel, Brady Walker and Cohen Kimball stood out with their solid play on the blue line. Liam John, Charbel Tannous, Jordan Beaudoin and Chase Collins played a strong aggressive period, never letting up. Capitals goaltender Brayden Hutchingame stood strong in net, turning away a number of shots to keep his teammates in the game. In the third period, Capitals Keegan Hatt fought hard behind the net, the puck getting back to Raffoul, who passed it up to Marchand, who found the top of the Raven’s net to earn a hat trick. Still pressing hard, Blake Epplett secured the game for the Capitals when he got the puck in the top corner from the point off a tip back from Tony Tannous. The Capitals took the win 5-3 to advance to the championship game.

The semi-final weekend pitted Kingsville Green against Southpoint Red in a win-or-go-home local league Novice hockey battle. Southpoint came out quick and peppered Kingsville’s goalie and team MVP candidate Sam Ward early and often but could not solve the poised rookie netminder. Green turned some lights off on the scoreboard as Alexander Pallotto buried a Quinn Monminie rebound to take the early lead. Jasper Dunford kept his foot on the offensive gas pedal, lighting the lamp on a quick break from Rocco Baillargeon to end the first period scoring with Green ahead by two. The second period saw Quinn Monminie pick up a pair of beauties, getting help on both by Keaton Morphet and doubling Southpoint’s output during the frame. The third period was fast and loose as both teams played wide-open hockey, each picking up three markers. Monminie sniped twice while William Loncke put the game on ice, blasting home a point shot fed from Registration online at www.raceroster.com Colby Snoei for the team’s seventh and final goal.

Community Trophies Novice Red played Kingsville Green in the Tier 1 Local League semi-finals. It was a decent game for the Southpoint team playing against the odds-on favourite to win the championship. There was good back and forth action, but Kingsville was capitalizing on their chances and Southpoint was not. By the middle of the second period, Kingsville was up 4-0. Sean Amaral was the first to put Southpoint on the scoreboard on a rush down the ice. Early in the third, Connor Rumble-Anastacio raced down the ice to put in Southpoint’s second goal. Assists went to London Hildebrand and Sean Amaral. Kingsville scored at the 8:30 mark and 30 seconds later Connor was racing down the wing, firing a shot from the right side. Kingsville’s goalie made the stop, but Landon Carlini placed himself right in front of the net to put the rebound away. Southpoint continued to work hard, but Kingsville’s high-powered offence was not to be denied and they scored twice more. The game was pretty much out of reach, but Connor rushed the length of the ice once more and fired the puck past the Kingsville netminder for the final goal of the game. Carter Kretschmann assisted. Kingsville won the match 7-4. Community Trophy played a second game against South Kent in Blenheim. They took command of the game right from the start and never let up. Southpoint’s first goal was set up by Sean Amaral, who rushed the length of the ice, shot and Landon Carlini put in the rebound. The second goal was a carbon copy of the first with Sean and Landon teaming up again. On the third goal, Connor went for a skate, took a shot and Gavin Butineillo put in the rebound. Connor’s next rush down the ice finished with him shooting the puck into the top corner of the net. Southpoint’s fifth goal was set up by Darius Quiring, who made a beautiful pass from behind the net to Gavin, who put the puck away. Connor scored the final goal on an end-to-end rush. He took a hard shot that hit the goalie’s glove and then trickled in. At the other end of the rink, Southpoint goalie Ty Gould earned himself a shutout in a 6-0 game.

Cougars coach wins WESPY award By Bryan Jessop

The ability to lead local youths on the gridiron, rink and court have earned a Cardinal Carter teacher countywide acknowledgement. Chris Church has been selected as the winner of the Knobby Knudsen Male Volunteer of the Year for the 14th Annual WESPY Awards, to be held Monday, April 15 at The Caboto Club in Windsor. Last year, Church coached both the junior and senior Cardinal Carter football teams as well as the school’s junior boys basketball team. Outside of the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board high school where he has taught since 2006, Church has also coached Essex Ravens minor football teams and with the Southpoint Minor Hockey Association. Church is an executive member of the SMHA, where he splits head coach duties with Kevin Gale for the bantam travel boys Capitals and is an assistant coach for one of the two intermediate girls Stars local league squads. Until last season, Church was also the offensive line coach for the University of Windsor Lancers football team. He has coached various Ravens teams since 2006 until 2016 and will return for the upcoming season as head coach of the junior Ravens varsity squad made up of mostly 15- and 16-year-old players. At Cardinal Carter, Church has also led girls hockey and slo-pitch teams, although neither had enough players to complete in WECSSAA for 2018-’19 or 2018 seasons, respectively. For the upcoming 2019 spring sports campaign, he’ll be on the coaching staff for both the boys baseball and girls slopitch teams. As of that point, Church will have coached every team sport at Cardinal Carter except soccer and volleyball. The local coach plans to attend this year’s WESPY Awards next month, which will feature special guest speaker Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings. Most WESPY award category presentations are preceded by the announcement of three finalists, with the Knobby Knudson Award being an exception. The Female Volunteer of the Year Award for 2018 was earned by Stacey Ditchfield of St. Anne Secondary School. “I was shocked when I found out,” said Church, who was on his way to a Thursday evening minor hockey game when he received the call informing him that he had won the award. “Coaching isn’t something I’ve ever done for the recognition, although it’s nice to be recognized. I’ve always enjoyed coaching — I like to see players develop through the season. I’m always looking forward to it.” In his first year at Cardinal Carter, Church coached five football teams — the junior

and senior Cougars, an Essex Ravens team, the University

of Windsor Lancers and a select team that made trips to Carolina and Cleveland to

compete internationally. He first began coaching football in 1993. One of the three male nominees for the WESPY Ed Jovanovski Hockey Award is Griffin Robinson, recognized for his accomplishments with the Junior B Leamington Flyers before being traded to the Chatham Maroons. In 18 games with the Flyers this season, Robinson scored 10 goals and added 13 assists for 23 points. In the following 32 games with the Maroons, the Harrow resident scored 17 goals and added 20

assists for a two-team total of 60 points in 50 regular season games. One of the three nominees for the Gino Fracas Football Award is former Cardinal Carter Cougar Daniel Metcalfe. The Kingsville resident is a linebacker with the University of Windsor Lancers and was coached by Church during his high school years. As a senior for the 2018 season, he logged 47 solo tackles and 26 assisted tackles as well as two sacks while recovering seven fumbles and making one interception.

Atom Minors win tournament championship in Toronto This past weekend the Caps travelled to Toronto, March 22-24, to play in the Mark Woszczyna Memorial Tournament. The Caps played their first game Friday afternoon against the Aeros, who hosted the tournament. The Caps were slow in the first and the Aeros scored two goals right off the bat. The Caps came back with force during the third period, scoring three goals to take a 3-2 win and prove they were in it. Scoring were Noah Borges, Gabriel Rino and Mitchell Moracci, with assists by Ben Arquette, Owen Hunter and Mitchell Moracci. On Saturday the team had an early game at the Chesswood arena where they faced the Toronto Avalanche. Caps’ Gabriel Rino scored the first goal, assisted by Aidan Pulley. Scoring five more in the second were Mitchell Moracci, Noah Borges, Massimo Ingratta and Matthew Mastromatteo, with assists from Nathan Ford, Ben Arquette and Gabriel Rino. The Caps scored two more in the third, sealing the game win 8-5. Goal scorers were Matthew Mastromatteo and Mitchell Moracci with his first hat trick of the tournament. Assists came from Owen Hunter and Massimo Ingratta. Game 3 versus North Toronto began shortly after noon and the Caps were on cloud nine. Period one was fast paced and the minutes flew by as the players rotated through. NT scored right from the face-off, but the Caps regained their momentum to score their first goal by forward Mitchell Moracci, assisted by Ryder Grossi. NT scored their second in period two, with the Caps shooting relentlessly and scoring two more themselves. Goal scorers were Ryder Grossi, assisted by Noah Borges and Nathan Ford, and Ben McFadden. NT scored in the third, leaving this game at a 3-3 tie and splitting the points. On Sunday morning the Caps faced the Aeros once again and played their hearts out. Mitchell Moracci scored his second hat trick of the tournament and led the team into the lead. Assists were from Gabriel Rino, Matthew Mastromatteo and Rex Pearce. In the second, Owen Hunter took the Caps to a 4-1 and another goal came from Noah Borges. The Caps were showing fatigue and weren’t able to prevent the Aeros from scoring four of their own to tie it up. The game went into a 3-on-3 overtime battle, a nail-biter as the clock began counting down from five minutes. Out of nowhere, the Caps’ Noah Borges gained control of the puck and skated towards the Aeros’ net minder with one chance to bring his team to the finals. He scored for the Caps, closing the game at 6-5. The Caps were off to play in the finals for the championship round, facing off with North Toronto, and this time tying wasn’t an option. Caps’ winger Ben McFadden scored the first goal, setting the tone. NT came back strong and tall, taking a shot on net in the second, scoring to tie it up. The Caps Matthew Mastromatteo scored within the first two minutes of the third, taking the lead. He was set up by Ryder Grossi and Ben Arquette.

Lakeshore team secures spot in LLHL Best of the Best Tournament The Lakeshore Lightning Peewee A team secured their spot in the Lower Lakes Hockey League Best of the Best Tournament. They have developed into a solid team. They faced the London Devilettes in Round 2 of playoffs. This was the only team that Lakeshore could not beat all season, but they won when it counted. Although Lakeshore lost the first game of the series, they came back strong and won the second and third games of the series to eliminate London. A Game 3 goal was scored by Alessia West of Leamington, assisted by Adriana West and Abbey Mazzella. The team was off to Round 3 against the first place team, Stratford Aces. Lakeshore secured the first win with a 2-1 victory. On Sunday they were on for a double-header. The first game ended with a 0-0 tie. Stratford won Game 3, resulting in a tied series. This forced the series into sudden death OT. With just three minutes into OT, Lakeshore scored to eliminate Stratford and win the title of Lower Lakes West Division Champions. They have qualified for the Lower Lakes Best of the Best Tournament next weekend in Toronto. This is where only the division champions will compete to be the “Best of the Best” in the Lower Lakes League. The Lakeshore Lightning has also qualified to play in the OWHA Provincial Championships in April.

Jennifer Latam

Antonina Esposito

Evelyn Nagypal

1928 ~ 2019 Mrs. Jennifer Latam of Delhi passed away at the Norfolk General Hospital, Simcoe, with a clear mind and soul, on Sunday, March 17, 2019 in her 91st year. She enjoyed wildlife and nature at its purest. You could most often find her watching, feeding or caring for a cat, a bird or some other creature that found its way to her home, or with a strong coffee in one hand and a book in the other one, reading and re-reading about someone’s remarkable adventure. She will be remembered by her always so calming spirit, for walking barefoot in the snow, doing yoga stretches and headstands on the living room floor, and wearing satin pyjamas to bed. She gained a reputation for gifting collectable coins and money in red envelopes, having fresh cheese bread on the counter, and taking time to only purchase stuffed animals for her grandkids that had soulful looking eyes. She looked forward to spending a day cooking a stuffed turkey dinner with all the fixings and valued good conversation and listening to the enjoyment of those around. Her gratefulness and appreciation for spending time with her family was tangible and she leaves us with lessons to be treasured. A void will be felt for Jenny’s daughter, Monica, to imagine watching mystery shows and documentaries or the Live Animal camera feeds without Mom. Monica will miss hearing all the comments about the cloud-filled sky, the wonders of planet Earth or about the wonderful colours of autumn. But she knows that Jenny left this chapter with grace and peace, and was greeted and welcomed with big warm hugs above for her next chapter. Former Jennifer Mazur was the beloved wife of the late Murray Latam (1991) and pre-deceased by her three brothers Ed, Stan and Joe. Also pre-deceased by her dear son, Graydon Latam (2015). Jenny leaves her loving daughter Monica Weaver, daughter-in-law Rosella Latam, and her grandkids Olivia, Maxwell and Vanessa, whom she cherished. As per Jennifer’s wishes, a private family service will take place. Memorial donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or to the Canadian Wildlife Federation can be made through the Murphy Funeral Home, Delhi, 519-582-1290, and will be greatly appreciated by the family.
