What occurs twice in a week, once in a year but never in a day? The letter E The Sarnia Imperials, Grey Cup Champions of Canada for 1936 Sarnians have never liked losing at sports, and they have especially hated to lose to any team from Petrolia. Not surprisingly, while Hard Oilers were capturing football honours during the early 1900s, a bitter seed was planted in Sarnia. That seed finally flowered in the 1920s, when a legion of great squads from Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School (SCITS), fuelled by their impassioned rivalry with Petrolia, dominated football affairs not only in Lambton, but throughout Southwestern Ontario. As the ‘20s melted into the ‘30s, the cream of these SCITS players went on to form the core of the Sarnia Imperials, the local entry in the Ontario Rugby Football Union’s Senior Division. As members of the “Imps,” they contested for the 1933 Grey Cup, but lost in a 4 to 3 squeaker to the Toronto Argonauts. The next year, they captured the coveted trophy as Dominion champions by defeating the Regina Roughriders 20 to 12. The Imperials again brought home the Grey Cup in 1936 with a 26 to 20 triumph over the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Stop by soon! www.zekveldgardenmarket.ca OPEN MON-SAT Children Welcome There always seems to be a genuine struggle each year celebrating the season we are in. Especially in the fall. Sunflowers give way to Mums and pumpkins and then mummies and ghouls, and these seem to be quickly chased out by glitter and lights. Sure, the days are shortening and lights (especially our sun) are quickly missed. BUT it is still fall and there needs to be a little time to celebrate the cooldown of the season. Here at Sipkens, we always joke about how the seasons change or are chased out so very quickly. As a garden centre and retailer, yes, we do need to start well before the season preparing for the next one. We like to promote a few ways of celebrating the changing of the seasons. Planting container gardens of plants with winter interest (shades of green and blue and berries) is one way we get the best of fall and winter. Conifers, holly, and accenting foliage plants look fabulous together in a planter, and allow one to ‘decorate’ without feeling like it is ‘Christmas decorating.’ Of course, there are always accents and bling that can be added to a planter for the Christmas season, but the subtle and unique beauty of plants is enough to excite for many months. Now, keep in mind planting plants in pots over winter outdoors is quite risky from a plant survival point of view, (that’s why we invest in greenhouses) there is nothing wrong with enjoying the beauty and texture and colour, till they expire and are chased out by—you guessed it Pansies! We design many hundreds of fresh greenery planters and arrangements for the winter season with lots of decorations, glitter, and lights, too. For those who love the ‘bling’ you might see these kept up all winter long, though we like to pick out the ‘bling’ and just leave the gorgeous greens up with their string lights blinking till they bronze in March. This is another way to enjoy nature up close where it can be appreciated in all its details. Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Fir, Yew, Juniper. Delicious fragrance of life in the winter, enjoy it indoors and out.
