LEAMINGTON – More than a year after getting started, the Municipality of Leamington will continue to seek out bylaw infractions before they are reported. Director of Legal and Legislative Services Ruth Orton presented to council a report on Phase 2 of the community’s proactive bylaw enforcement program during its November 12 meeting. The initiative began as a pilot project in late August of last year, assigning a dedicated enforcement officer to the project in the uptown Leamington area. By January of 2019, administration came back with a report to council, which passed a resolution requiring the continued enforcement in the uptown area with regards to sign, land maintenance and property standards bylaws excluding those used strictly for residential purposes while including the exteriors of residential properties in mixed use dwellings. The period of the most recent report’s “There’s still findings include what room for improveare sometimes referred ment, but I’m to as ‘banzai’ inspechearing positive tions, where enforcecomments.” ment officers seek — Hilda out potential violaMacDonald tions while carrying out other duties. From January to November of this year, 63 banzai issues were inspected, ranging from long grass and weeds to accumulating garbage and parking infractions. In total, 1,088 bylaw enforcement officer inspections were conducted over the same time period, combining proactive, banzai and reactive approaches. Thirty-eight inspections related to cannabis use while some of the most common matters included general proactive enforcement, parking, long grass and weeds, garbage and dismantled vehicles and signage permits. The project’s original goal was to improve uptown Leamington aesthetically through the enforcement of the property standards, land maintenance and sign bylaws. “I think we’re starting to see more pride in ownership,” Mayor Hilda MacDonald said in explaining that she believed bylaw enforcement is producing a positive impact. “The more we continue to do this in the uptown, the more you’ll see bit by bit.” Councillor Tim Wilkinson explained that storefront cleanliness is still a problem in some areas, along with some property owners not adhering to property standards and sign bylaws. He also inquired about bylaw enforcement offers’ weekend hours, which Orton explained are not scheduled full time during winter months. Phase 2 of the project took effect in the summer of this year with the objective of offering a sufficient and reasonable time for subject properties to be brought to compliance. Thus far, eight property standards orders have been issued. In the event that compliance is not met within a reasonable amount of time following an order, the municipality will undertake the work required as mentioned in the order, with costs applied to the tax roll of the property.

Santa comes to Kingsville KINGSVILLE – Christmas sights lit up the night and the streets of Kingsville on Saturday evening, Nov. 16 with the annual Kingsville Christmas Parade. The parade marched down Main and Division streets, ending at Lakeside Park with a fireworks display and the “turning on” of the Fantasy of Lights display. Kingsville street curbs and sidewalks were lined with people three and four deep, all watching the nearly hour-long parade which featured many local youth groups, sporting clubs, businesses and bands, including some from Michigan.

Help Kingsville Community Centre double its donations on GivingTuesday By Sheila McBrayne

Kingsville Christmas House Tour celebrating 25 years KINGSVILLE – A historic Victorian style home and carriage house, along with a church, museum and several other homes became the backdrop filled with holiday trimmings for the annual Kingsville Christmas House Tour. This past weekend, Nov. 16 and 17, more than 800 people viewed the seasonally decorated homes over the two-day event. Nine stops rounded out the tour from downtown Kingsville to Trinity Anglican Church in Cottam. The Christmas House Tour started in 1991 as part of a campaign and fundraiser to build Migration Hall. It has since continued to be a fundraiser for maintaining the hall, which is used by many community groups such as the high school for sporting events, other athletic groups, entertainers and theatre groups. This year marks its 25th anniversary. Pictured, Anne Marie Lemire stands in her dining room, which is set for Christmas dinner at her Victorian home on Main Street in Kingsville.

raising organizations combined forces last year for the first Ultimate Gift Giving campaign. Collection boxes to receive donations of new, unwrapped toys were distributed throughout the area and were collected and distributed to cancer patients and their siblings. “I can’t describe how amazing it is to see them open their gifts,” said Nicole. “It’s a wonderful memory, for sure,” she said. Mason and Ethan met at the hospital while undergoing treatment for their cancers. Mason passed away in 2016 and Ethan continues the fight for his friend. Ethan, 7, attends St. John de Brebeuf Catholic Elementary School in Kingsville. This year, Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle School is also getting involved in the effort. A collection box is located at the school and students will be actively encouraged to support the donation gift boxes until Nov. 30. Boxes throughout the community will be in place until December 8. In Leamington, boxes are located at RBC, Uniquely Yours, Auto Rezolutions and Cardinal Carter Middle School. In Kingsville, gift boxes for donations will be located at Kingsville Arena, Bliss Wellness Studio, EYES

Stuff Mason’s Trailer Day – Dec. 8 There is a Stuff Mason’s Trailer Day planned for Sunday, Dec. 8 at Kingsville Arena from 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., which will resume in Windsor in the afternoon. People will be able to drop off gifts at the arena and also enjoy some snacks and beverages. The Erie North Shore Storm hockey team will be there to help, as they have chosen to be a part of this fundraiser. “We will be presenting

the gifts to the families at Windsor Regional Hospital (Met Campus) on Wednesday, December 18,” said Nicole. “Charlie and I began this fundraiser in 2016 and last year we teamed up with our friends at Fight Like Mason Foundation. The fundraiser has raised thousands of dollars as well as hundreds of toys we have had donated. It truly is a special time to be a part of, for many reasons. As parents who have been affected by Childhood Cancer with our boys, we understand how difficult the holiday season can be for many reasons. Families are in and out of the hospital so much. With compro-

mised immune systems, many of the children on active treatment have to stay clear from germs as much as they can - something that can be challenging throughout the holiday season. Of course, the financial and emotional tolls can be difficult as well. Our hope is to fulfil the Christmas wishes of these amazing children and give them a holiday they will never forget,” Nicole stated. To find out more information about this fundraiser, including Wish Lists and drop-off locations throughout the county, go to Facebook pages Super Ethan’s Steps and Fight Like Mason.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 324 and Ladies Auxiliary would like to express sincere thanks and appreciation to the people of Wheatley and Leamington and the surrounding area for the generous show of support received during the 2019 Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day Service.

Are Babcock’s days numbered? On May 15, 2015, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed coach Mike Babcock to an eight-year contract worth about 50 million dollars. At the time, he was considered the be-all-end-all in NHL coaching choices. After a successful run in Detroit with a very talented team and a Stanley Cup ring on his finger, he made the decision to take on the rebuilding challenge in ToMark Ribble ronto. At the time, there were naysayers. I was not one of them. From all accounts, Mike seemed to be the guy who could come in and make a difference for us long-suffering fans of the blue and white. Now, some four-and-a-half years later, my naysayer side is coming out. Watching the last couple of seasons intently, I’ve noticed he does not seem to have the ability to re-adjust strategies on the fly, or maybe he just refuses to do so. Blessed with a powerplay that includes the likes of John Tavares, William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, you’d think it would produce an extraordinary amount of odd-man goals. Yet, even with it being non-productive most of the time, his refusal to change things up just makes me frustrated as a fan. Now, my NHL coaching resume certainly doesn’t compare to his, so who am I to talk, right? They say the armchair coaches are the worst kind, and I probably fall into that group. I find myself questioning almost every move, from the lineup to the goalie rotation, to the team’s ability to adjust to a physical opponent. I don’t remember questioning Roger Neilson or Pat Burns back in the day. There is talent galore there, and yet the Leafs still sit in the middle of the NHL pack. Rumblings have begun about Babcock’s eventual coaching demise, as the Toronto media picks up on every little nuance out there. For me, I just want the team to win. The question is, does Mike Babcock give them the best chance to do so? There were rumours out of Detroit when he coached there, that the veteran players didn’t care for his coaching style. If you weren’t one of his favourites, you were treated differently than those that were, and that included ice time allotment. Time is running out. Cap space problems and under-performance of key players are plaguing this team well into November. Is it possible that the Maple Leaf players have begun to tune him out? You often hear about a coach losing his team’s ear, or the team has stopped playing for the coach in an attempt to force a firing. I don’t think that’s the case in Toronto… yet. But I do think that this season’s results will seal the fate of Mr. Babcock, one way or the other. If there’s not a parade down Yonge Street next June, I don’t expect we’ll see him on that bench next season.

Long serving dealership sales rep to retire By Bryan Jessop

A career spanning more than three-and-a-half decades will soon officially come to an end for a sales and leasing professional at Lally Southpoint Ford. Jerry Meloche, who has sold Ford cars, trucks, vans and SUVs since 1983, will retire from 36 years of matching customers to vehicles on Thursday, Nov. 28 — two days before his 72nd birthday.

Remember him with a smile today, he was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years. Craig’s favourite poem... The Clock of Life is wound but once, and no one has the power To tell just when the hands will stop … at a late or early hour. Now is the only time you own – so live, love and toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow, for the clock may then be still Always in our thoughts. Forever in our hearts. Love, Your Family IN MEMORIAM

Cathy Gole

October 12, 1945 - November 18, 2009

A million times I’ve needed you A million times I’ve cried, If love could have saved you You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply Are the hardest things to say, My dearest one, I loved you In a very special way. If I could have one lifetime wish One dream that could come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart For yesterday and you.

Enbridge donates smoke, CO2 detectors to LFS By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – Leamington’s local energy provider is demonstrating “Zero” tolerance for lives being put at risk through fire and carbon monoxide hazards. Brian Chauvin, manager of operations for Enbridge Gas Inc.’s Windsor-Essex/Chatham-Kent region, paid a visit to the Leamington Fire Services station on Clark Street West to deliver a donation of 156 combination smoke and carbon monoxide (C02) detectors Monday, Nov. 3. In turn, LFS personnel will be distributing the detectors primarily to the occupants of wartime homes in the community to help reduce the chances of deaths and injuries caused by smoke, fire and CO2 leaks. “We’ll be concentrating on doing a neighbourhood blitz so that we don’t have to worry about whether or not these homes have working detectors or not,” said LFS deputy chief and public education and training representative Mike Ciacelli, explaining that the donations will likely be sent out home by home within about the next month. The timing of the contribution from Enbridge was symbolic, as Ciacelli explained that with older, traditional smoke and CO2 detectors, the LFS recommends replacing batteries every time clocks are moved ahead or back an hour in relation to daylight savings or standard time changes. This time of year, Ciacelli noted, also marks the first use of the autumn months for furnaces and other gas-powered heating systems for many families. The new combination detectors donated by Enbridge and manufactured by Kidde have built-in batteries that function for the devices’ entire 10-year lifespan. Valued at about $65 each, the devices emit a series of beeps as well as a voice declaring “low battery” or “fire” or “carbon monoxide” when emergency situations are detected. The detectors are also programmed to emit chirps every 30 seconds once their decade-long service periods have expired. Ciacelli explained that units in need of replacement will continue to chirp until they are replaced. As smoke alarms are required on every floor of a residential building and CO2 detectors are mandatory on every level where people sleep — within a maximum of 16 feet from sleeping quarter doorways — the LFS will likely be giving two of the new devices to each targeted home to improve the safety of at least 75 Leamington houses. “We’re happy to be able to help out fire departments and their communities,” explained Enbridge Windsor-Essex/ Chatham-Kent operations manager Brian Chauvin. “It’s a program we’re very proud of.” Since the Enbridge/Union Gas merger in January of this year, Leamington has been added to the list of communities to receive new combo detectors through Project Zero. The local donation is valued at approximately $10,000.

Soli Deo Gloria Singers to present “Longing” LEAMINGTON – The Soli Deo Gloria Singers, under the direction of Nancy Dyck and accompanied by Helen Brown, are deep into rehearsals for their fall concert entitled “Longing.” As humans, we all yearn and long for a sense of meaning and fulfillment. We strive for feelings of inclusion and kinship. Music is a universal art form that profoundly speaks to this inner longing! The choir will again offer a wide range of choral music spanning the centuries. From the Baroque period 1600-1750 the choir offers Giovanni Pergolesi’s song of praise “Glory to God in the Highest!”; from the Classical era 1750-1820 a rousing “Kyrie” from the Holy Mass by Haydn; and from the Romantic period 1820-1900 “Beati quorum via” based on Psalm 119. These outstanding compositions celebrate a gratified soul. Current-day selections include “Home and the Heartland’ by Bill Whelan and James Leisy’s “The Cat Came Back.” “I Just Couldn’t Be Contented, Until I Found the Lord” is a traditional spiritual, and a rousing Kenyan folk song, “Wana Baraka,” is sure to deeply touch your heartstrings with its beautiful counter melodies. “Sicut Cervus” by G.P. Palestrina is known as one of the great musical masterpieces of the church, written in Renaissance era, late 1500s. The choir’s prayer and hope is that the Soli Deo Gloria Singers will quench the longings of your heart and soul. Performances are Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at UMEI, 614 Mersea Rd 6, north of Leamington, and Sunday, Nov. 24 at 3 p.m. at Leamington United Mennonite Church, 78 Oak St. E., Leamington. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for children in advance, and $15 for adults and $7 for children at the door. Tickets are available from choir members, from Kindred Credit Union or call UMEI at 519-326-7448 for more information.

The units will be distributed to some of Leamington’s older homes by LFS personnel, free of charge. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Our Dad lived a very full life... Embracing the end at Hospice

I could talk for hours about the incredible care and devotion our father received from the Hospice team – staff and volunteers. Respect was shown for not only our father, but for all our family. We felt welcome. We could come and go at any time, and were able to spend the night with Dad, if we wanted.

My family is so grateful to Chatham-Kent Hospice for the care they provided to my father, Donald Strong, as well as our entire family. Our father lived a very full life. He was born just after the Depression, served in the Navy and married our mother after his return. They had four children and were married for 44 years before my mom passed away. Dad was a strong supporter of his community. He had ambition and stamina that was nothing short of amazing, even after being declared legally blind some 20 years ago. He was a walking testimonial that God never gives us anything we cannot handle. Dad’s end-of-life journey began in 2017 when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The following year he had a heart valve replacement. During one of my visits with dad he said, “I am dying. I need to go to Hospice.” Later that very afternoon we were greeted at the front door of Chatham-Kent Hospice by staff, welcoming Dad to his very last five-star plus resort – ready to assist him (and our family) with this final journey of his 93-year life. Dad seemed very comfortable and at ease in the beautiful surroundings. “I am in the very best place I could ever wish for. I have no fear,” he said.

Never have we experienced such respect for life. Dad was a stickler for hygiene and was a very proud dresser. After his passing he was bathed and dressed, right down to his socks and shoes...as he would have wanted. We were given all the time we needed to say our good-byes and never felt rushed. I must admit that when the Hospice was being built, I had been asked to donate. Due to my ignorance at that time, I declined to donate. As I now know what an amazing place this is and what incredible people work and donate their time and effort, this is no longer the case. In witnessing first-hand the devotion that takes place in the Chatham-Kent Hospice, I wish to extend our heart-felt thanks on behalf of my family. I hope that through the generosity of our community, our Hospice will be there for all those at end of life and their loved ones for many, many years to come. Shared by Rob Strong, In Memory of Donald Strong

When you donate, you make a big difference in the lives of local families. You help people live their final days in comfort and peace and provide a meaningful way for families to say good-bye. To donate please visit: www.chathamkenthospice.com Or call: 519-354-3113 ext. 2403

Festival of Lights has begun!

$579,921 being spent on parks

KINGSVILLE – Kingsville’s Fantasy of Lights officially started following Saturday night’s Christmas parade on November 16. The light display at Lakeside Park runs through the holidays into the New Year. Fireworks were enjoyed prior to the turning on of the Fantasy of Lights at Lakeside Park in Kingsville. (Southpoint Sun Photos)

By Bryan Jessop

LEAMINGTON – A design for two uptown Leamington parks approved of by council earlier this fall has been handed to a local contractor to become reality. Municipal council approved of a bid by Nevan Construction of Kingsville to bring to life a concept presented by RC Spencer Associates Inc. during a September 24 meeting. Nevan was awarded the contract at a cost of $479,420 plus taxes — a bid some $185,000-plus lower than the only other submission. The project’s cost will come out to $572,921 with applicable taxes to the parks and storm sewer work by Nevan plus Uptown Park redevelopment, Alley 15 reconstruction and storm sewer engineering and design work to date and contract administration and geotechnical work during construction. Alley 15 runs from Fox Street’s west end and parallel to the Russell Street parking lot to the southwest corner of the Uptown Park property — formerly occupied by The Village Inn and then Sunset Club before a fire destroyed the structure more than seven years ago. To date, about $50,000 has been invested in the design of both parks and the complete design of Alley 15. Uptown Park will feature a large green space complimented by a shade-providing structure, plants, trees, sculpture or other artistic feature, bike racks, signage and an armour stone retaining wall. Shotten Park, between Talbot Street West and Mill Street West, will offer a walking park aligning with Queens Avenue and like Uptown Park, green space, a shade structure, benches and amenities to accommodate vendor tents during monthly Mill Street Night Markets.

Jingle Bell Run a ringing success

The 2019 Jingle Bell Run, Walk and Wheel was held on Sunday, Nov. 10 at Ken Knapp Ford in Essex. A total of 534 participants of all ages, dressed in all types of Christmas attire, joined in to celebrate the 25th annual running of the event. The run has raised thousands of dollars for Community Living Essex County in support of over 750 people with an intellectual disability throughout Essex County. “We want to thank participants and our many volunteers from across Essex County who came out in support of Community Living Essex County,” stated James Knapp, Chair of the 2019 Jingle Bell Run Steering Committee. “The event had everyone from competitive runners to casual walkers together for a great cause. This year was extremely special in that we not only celebrated our 25th anniversary, but we honored our long time Chair and catalyst for the event, the late Bob Blair,” added Knapp. An announcement on how much was raised in support of Community Living Essex County will be made in December. Medals were presented to every participant, with acknowledgement for top finishers. A full listing of those who participated and finished first in their categories is available online at www.wrace.org (Submitted Photo)

Bantam girls capture tournament win The Southpoint Stars Bantam girls hockey team travelled to Milton this past weekend, Nov. 15-17, to play in the Halton Twister Fall Classic. The tournament brought a lot of great competition with 16 teams vying for the title. Friday’s game saw the girls jump out to a commanding 3-0 lead with a nice rush by Sienna Gale to jump out to a 1-0 lead, then Brooke Dacosta tapping into an open net with a beautiful pass by Meaghan Simpson. A forecheck by Jayden Marentette led to a turnover in the slot with Mila Pereira driving in a rebound off a Leah Youssef shot. The game seemed in hand only to watch the team from North Halton close the

gap to 3-2, but the Stars held on for the victory. Saturday morning was against a tough team from Wilmont. Despite the best efforts from both teams with many great scoring chances, neither goalie would bend and Evan Gualtieri helped the Stars secure a 0-0 tie, keeping their hopes alive to advance in the tournament. The third round robin game was pressure-packed with all teams in their division having a chance to finish first to move on. With the Stars controlling their own destiny with a win, the girls came out full throttle. With an early goal by Brooke Dacosta followed by a power play goal by Danika Romanyk, the Stars captured the division with a 2-0 win

over the Oakville Predators. Sunday morning brought semi-final action and the Stars were matched up with a tough team from Halton Hills. It was back and forth when Alexa Derikx made a beautiful pass through the neutral zone, sending Sienna Gale in alone to open the score for the Stars. Once again, that’s all Evan Gualtieri and the Stars’ defense needed as they shut the door for the 1-0 victory. The finals brought another match-up against a team from Oakville. Both goalies were stellar in the early going and in the second period, on the power play, Daesa Minaudo ripped a shot from the point. With Abbi Neufeld providing a beautiful screen, the puck found

its way into the back of the net. With Oakville pressing hard to find the equalizer, Sienna Gale scored with the help of some great corner work by linemate Eva Degoey freeing up the puck for her to drive to the net. The Stars celebrated with a 2-0 win and an impressive streak off 12 shutout

periods of hockey, which started from the tender play of Evan Gualtieri and the fierce attack and aggressiveness of Stars’ defense Bricelyn Koehler, Emma Weil, Josie Wiper, Isabella Fehr, Charlie Liebrock and Daesa Minaudo. Congratulations, girls, it was a well earned, hard fought championship.

It was a tough fought battle between Erie North Shore Atom Gold and Southpoint Atom Grey at the Castle in Kingsville on Saturday morning, Nov. 16. Both teams continued to score back and forth until the third period when Zachery Reid scored the winning goal, his second of the game. Wyatt Turner had two goals, one being end-toend, as well as an assist. Carter McCloud and Jeremy Snyder each scored one. Everett Turner performed well with an awesome glove save over his shoulder that was headed for the back of the net, ensuring the win. The entire team’s collaborative effort enabled Gold to win 6-5.

The Sharks wore special edition jerseys bearing moustache-equipped Sharks as a fundraiser in support of prostate cancer patients. Jerseys worn during the game — won 4-2 by the Sharks — were auctioned off in support of the cause.

The Wheatley Omstead Sharks backed an important cause while picking up two important points in recent Junior C action. While supporting the ‘Movember’ prostate cancer cause by auctioning off special onetime jerseys during a Wednesday, Nov. 13 game against the Blenheim Blades, the Sharks also picked up two crucial points with a 4-2 victory. The Chatham-Kent rivals went into the game at Wheatley Area Arena tied for fifth place in the Stobbs Division, although the Sharks had a game in hand. With the win, Wheatley took sole possession of the league’s middle position and improved to 8-7-0-0. Both teams were caught scrambling at times in the first period, although it was all Sharks who took advantage of lapses in the opposition’s defense. “For the most part, the first was fairly even,” noted Sharks head coach Josh Carnevale. “They tried to slow us down with a “Our PK guys trap, but we took advantage of our chances. did their job They fed us our lunch and really in the second, but we Safety Tech Grp 1 & 2, Remote start, power stepped up Alpine Audio, lift gate, lots more controlled the third.

Flyers fall to Nationals By Bryan Jessop

For the second time this season — and the second time in the past four games — the Leamington Flyers have suffered a home ice loss. The visiting London Nationals stole a 2-1 victory in Leamington Thursday, Nov. 14 to pull ahead by four points in the race for first in the Western Conference. The Flyers have scored first in each of their four regulation time losses thus far, and also led in their one and only overtime loss. The defensive battle started with a scoreless first frame, although Matthew Waite had to put on an impres“The effort sive performance in the Flyers crease. The Leamington was there, but rookie goalie made a diving save during London’s first power play to keep it scoreless while at the other end, the lack of the Flyers came close a couple times, including a shot discipline that rang off the post. hurt us.” The division-leading Nationals outshot the hosts 17-9 — Cam through the opening period and then 15-13 in the secCrowder ond. The Flyers however drew first blood within the first five minutes of the middle stanza as Thomas Michaud solved Shawn Wirananta after being set up by Adam Jeffery and team points leader Dylan Weston. As in the opening 20 minutes, both teams were largely ineffective on the man advantage. The Nationals tied the score just beyond the midway point of the third on a power play as Zach Sheedy managed to beat Waite — the first visiting team tally on the Flyers’ turf in 124 minutes and 51 seconds of play. The game seemed destined to be the second to reach extra minutes at Highbury Canco Arena this season until Michael Boushy put London ahead with 2:23 to go. Waite headed for his team’s bench about a minute later for the extra attacker, but to no avail. Leamington was zero for six on the power play while the Nationals managed one for six. The Flyers were outshot 41-29. “Matthew Waite was outstanding in net to give us the chance to win,” Flyers head coach Cam Armstrong said of the match against London. “The effort was there, but the lack of discipline hurt us.” On Saturday, Nov. 16, Leamington made an eastbound trip to visit the Komoka Kings. The contest ended in a 5-3 decision favouring the Flyers. Leamington goals were provided by Nolan McKibbon, Jacob Kalandyk with a pair in the second, Josh King for the game winner and Kobe Seguin with the empty netter. The Flyers registered a 42-25 shots advantage and went one for four on the power play as the hosts were one for five. The Flyers brought a handful of AP players to Komoka, as Adam Jeffery, Dylan Montie, Cam Blanton and Cam Armstrong were sidelined by injuries. Most are expected to return to the roster within the next one to two weeks. “It was good to pick up the win with the short lineup that we had,” Crowder said of his team’s victory against the Kings. Leamington’s next home game will take place Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:10 p.m. against the St. Thomas Stars.

ENS Atom Black bests Essex Yellow Essex Yellow visited the friendly confines of Kingsville Arena to face off against Erie North Shore Black in local league Atom action this past Saturday, Nov. 16. The confines proved friendly only to the host squad on this day as ENS played a defensive minded affair, wearing down Yellow with active sticks and fast puck movement. Black’s offense was led by Evan Warkentin who lit the lamp late in the first as he neatly tucked home a ‘set-play’ backboard pass by Trent Kocsis which would prove as the eventual game winner. An individual effort by Hunter Cornies in the second provided the insurance marker as he kept his 50 in 50 pace alive to cap the scoring with the game ending 2-0. Sam Ward notched his third shutout of the campaign, much to the delight of the lively ENS Black fans.

Southpoint Atom Grey battles it out vs. Kingsville Southpoint Community Trophy Atom Grey and Erie North Shore Gold battled it out in Kingsville on the weekend. It was a close game throughout, with both teams showing a lot of offense. Four goals were scored in the last four minutes of the first period. Gold scored first, and in response, Grey’s Nic Magri stole the puck at Gold’s blue line and went in for the score. This was followed up by an end-to-end rush by Connor Rumble-Anastacio, who scored Grey’s second goal on a low shot that went under the North Shore goalie. Gold tied the game up with 20 seconds left in the first. Gold scored their third goal early in the second frame and again Grey had to work hard to tie it up. The goal came off a Sean Amaral rush down the ice and hard shot. The shot rebounded out to Reid Charles, who was following up on the play. Reid quickly put the puck in the net. Caden Raffoul picked up the second assist. Gold took the lead back late in the second. Thirty seconds into the third, Gold went ahead by two. Grey’s forth goal was set up by Caden who got the puck to Gavin Butineillo. Gavin backhanded a shot in and it was 5-4. Grey worked to prevent Gold from scoring another goal, but they weren’t clearing rebounds from in front of their own net and Gold scored number six. Grey scored number five with three minutes left. The goal by Chace Collins was set up by Landon Carlini and Logan Konrad. It brought Grey to within one but they couldn’t tie it up. The final score was 6-5 for Erie North Shore.

Atom Minors win, lose The Southpoint Point Pelee Karting Minor Atom A Capitals took part in a home and home series with the Erie North Shore Storm this past weekend in Bluewater league action. On Friday night, Nov. 15, the Caps were the hosts at Unico Arena in Leamington. Southpoint started lethargic in this game, but the Storm was unable to capitalize on any of their early chances. With four to go in the opening period and Southpoint on the power play, Brayden Foster sent Kayden Cook out of his own zone. Cook went end-to-end and finished by zipping his wrist shot in the net to take the lead. Now in the middle frame and shortly after Karly Franklin made a big stop on a Storm breakaway, the Caps gave up the puck at their blue line resulting in a two on nothing and a goal. Another Southpoint turnover shortly thereafter turned into a 2-1 deficit. More sloppy play by the home team allowed the Storm to take advantage and increase their lead to 3-1 after yet another defensive lapse and giveaway. The Capitals responded quickly though, with Brayden Foster chasing down an Owen Derksen dump-in and sending a nifty pass out front to Sloan Smith who buried his chance to get within one.

Pets of the Week

The Caps pulled their goalie late and even found themselves on a six-on-four advantage due to a Storm penalty, but despite generating numerous chances, could not find the equalizer in a very uninspired 3-2 defeat. On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 16, Southpoint travelled to Kingsville to try and earn some redemption. For this game, the Capitals seemed more determined, as they controlled the play right from the opening face off. The speed and forecheck normally in their game had returned and it paid dividends late in the opening frame as they were able to draw one of many penalties. While on the power play, Jonathan Recker stopped a clearing attempt at the line and sent a nice pass across the ice to Brayden Foster, who made no mistake and ripped in his shot just under the bar. Although the Storm had some chances mixed in throughout the game, the Caps played better than the previous evening and were able to control most of the game. Five minutes into the third, Brayden Foster passed back to Ben Liebrock at the line, who let go his shot on net. Sloan Smith, just off to the side of the crease, banged in the rebound to increase the lead. Each team traded opportunities the rest of the way but when the final buzzer sounded it was the Capitals that came out with the hard fought 2-0 victory. Christian Papp, in net for the Caps, made some timely saves to record a shutout and the win for his Southpoint squad.

Late in the period, Dexter Gourlay registered two more for the Kings while Zachary Dillen added another, all within one minute and 23 seconds.

Council takes up Tree Challenge By Bryan Jessop

The municipality’s vision on environmental protection starting in its own backyard appears to be ‘2020’. During the early minutes of its Tuesday, Nov. 12 meeting, council was approached by members of the Leamington Horticultural Society, working in conjunction with the local Communities In Bloom committee, with the proposal to initiate a new tree planting program. Bill Sherk and Don Waffle appeared before council to pitch what is being dubbed the 2020 Tree Challenge, a program the organizers hope will draw participation from municipalities and cities from across Ontario. Sherk explained that the 2020 Tree Challenge will begin with a launch in Leamington where 20 trees are planted in the spring of next year, followed by another 20 in the fall. The first tree, Sherk explained, would be paid for by the municipality. At that rate he described, Leamington would benefit from the coverage of 400 new trees by the year 2030. The province-wide program will be instigated in Leamington as a competition to determine which Ontario community will be the first to plant 400

new trees — a milestone Sherk explained he’d like to see many municipalities, including Leamington, accomplish well in advance of the 10-year time frame. The winning community would be determined based on a per capita system. The idea, as noted in Sherk’s presentation to council, is being backed by the Leamington District Secondary School environmental science class of Lisa Jeffery.

“I believe that the people of Leamington are good at rising to a challenge… and this is a challenge.” — Bill Sherk

“We can fight climate change with one new tree after another,” Sherk declared. Under his proposal, the local effort of the challenge would begin with the planting of Leamington’s first new tree on Earth Day — Wednesday, Apr. 22 — of 2020. As a symbolic gesture, Sherk presented a pair of $20 bills — one from

Catherine Reidiger and the other from himself — as the first payment towards the Leamington segment of the challenge’s second tree. Over the next few days and weeks, he explained, volunteers with the project will be approaching 1,800 people with requests for $20 each. That money, according to the program’s strategy, would be placed into an account set up by the municipality to plant the second and following trees. Councillor John Hammond, who attends Leamington Communities In Bloom meetings, expressed confidence that council would contribute towards the challenge’s first tree. “To quote something that we all heard at AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) when we were down there, and I think it’s something that we need to keep in mind, ‘the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now’.” Sherk noted that after approaching local nurseries for advice on which varieties of trees would be most beneficial to plant, it was determined that each large shade tree would come out to an average cost of $400, including

Fun at Colasanti’s raises money for parade

LEAMINGTON – The annual Leamington Community Christmas Parade Fundraiser was held Friday, Nov. 15 at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens. The event included dinner, rides, mini golf, a silent auction, Toys For Tots collection and a visit from Santa Claus and Elsa. The Leamington Winter Nights Christmas Lights Parade starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30.

planting. “I believe that the people of Leamington are good at rising to a challenge… and this is a challenge,” said Sherk, who also noted that contributions towards one of the project’s trees should be eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Chief Administrative Of-

ficer Peter Neufeld recommended that the 2020 Tree Challenge focus on Carolinian species that are native to the region for planting, which Sherk agreed to as an ideal approach. Manager of Public Works Ken Brown explained that his department commonly plans to plant about 100 trees per

year and that it is capable of adding an extra 40. Mayor Hilda MacDonald, who is a board member of AMO, explained that she would bring the new challenge to the attention of other members during a gathering scheduled about two weeks from the November 12 council meeting.

News of the pews WHEATLEY – November 11, Remembrance Day, brought many in the community out to reflect and give thanks for those who lost their lives in service to their country. The poppy is a symbol of this remembrance and on November 14 at the Wheatley United Church Suppertime Community Meal, a poppy was placed on each table, alongwith the words “Lest We Forget.” What better way to honour those who made the supreme sacrifice than to gather together in community, give thanks and break bread together? All were invited and many came. On November 17, Reverend Kim Gilliland led the communion worship service at Wheatley United. Ken Hatt will be worship leader on November 24. December 1 is White Gift Sunday at Wheatley United. You are invited to bring nonperishable food items for delivery to the Wheatley Food Bank. Any monetary donations received and designated to “Wheatley Food Bank” will also be accepted. National collection week for the Operation Christmas Child Boxes is November 18-24. Drop those gift boxes off! The Wheatley Ministerial group will host their second “Dinner on Jesus” on Sunday, Dec. 15 at the Wheatley Baptist Church, serving a traditional Christmas dinner from 4:30-6:30 p.m. This event provides families with a welcoming place for food and fellowship at Christmas time. This event is supported by local Wheatley community churches and individuals. Any surplus donations collected go to support the Wheatley Area Food Bank.

Awarded Life Membership

Rob Konrad’s son Jim washing the family Volkswagen.

1967 Volkswagen Deluxe for $1,900 Rob Konrad of Leamington still remembers his first car: “I graduated from Western Ontario Institute of Technology (later St. Clair College) in Windsor in the spring of 1967 and took a job with Northern Electric in Bramalea, starting May 1967. I walked and hitch-hiked for the first few months but soon got the urge to buy my own first new automobile. “Having little money, I had limited options. I walked up Hwy 10 to Bramgate Volkswagen and eyed the car of my dreams, a 1967 Deluxe Volkswagen selling for around Bill Sherk $1,900. The Deluxe version was $200 extra at that time. Deluxe meant you got both a gas auxiliary heater and backup lights. “My wife Lois and I were married in 1968 and I moved to a new job at IBM in Windsor. This VW served us and my job well for the next six years or so. “The license plate #CSS077 went with the car when it was sold. I saw the car once sitting in front of the Chrysler Assembly plant before we moved to London with my job. The VW had been restored to its original beauty.” Rob bought his ’67 VW exactly 15 years after the first Volkswagens arrived in Canada. Only 12 arrived in 1952 and at least one was on display that year at the CNE in Toronto, where it was greeted with a mixture of curiosity and enthusiasm. By the end of the ’50s, they were seen everywhere! I can remember putting gas in Volkswagens in the early ’60s when I worked part-time at Harold Lehman’s ESSO station in Toronto. The early ones had the filler neck under the front hood, and if it was raining, any luggage in there got wet. Later on, the filler neck was on the side of the cowl. When I checked the oil on a Volkswagen one day, I saw a wire attached to the dipstick. The driver said it was a Canadian Tire accessory to keep the oil warm overnight so the car would start next morning. Rob’s next car was a used 1964 Plymouth purchased from his grandfather, then followed by a new bright yellow Dodge Dart. The cars are gone but the memories live on. I’m always looking for stories.
