The Hub July 2017 | Page 4

CONNECTING The only constant is change. It’s an old adage, but very true, and as we approach the fourth anniversary of The Hub, change is in the air. And, as another old adage goes, change is does not have to be good or bad - it’s all in how you respond to it. With this issue of The Hub, I’m pleased to welcome long-time contributor, and my oldest daughter, Angelica Haggert aboard as my new publishing partner. Not all families are able to work successfully together. Luckily, Angelica and I have collaborated on many projects over the years and have always found a way to reach a beneficial middle ground, in spite of - or perhaps, because of - the mother-daughter dynamic that will always be present. I will miss working with Eva Antonel - she and I have been working together since 2001, and her commitment to both the community and the local magazine market predates that. However, she has decided to explore other endeavours, and we wish her well. Eva herself will be sharing her thoughts on her departure from The Hub next month. As our new co-publisher/editor, Angelica brings her well-established commitment to The Hub and to Windsor-Essex, as well as a fresh perspective, new ideas and a “let’s try” approach. She is an established professional in local edu-tainment and all-around Jack-of-all-trades in the communications field. Please join me in welcoming Angelica to her new role. She and I are excited about embarking on this adventure as we continue to connect the ideas, information and individuals of Windsor-Essex with one another. When Shelley approached me about joining her on the editing team, the answer required no thought. "YES!" Of course I'd love to help take what we're doing with The HubWE and delve into its inner workings. The last week of helping with the layout has only strengthened my love for both journalism, and for what we're trying to do with this digital magazine. Exploring and loving Windsor-Essex is so important to the success of the city, and there are some amazing people doing some amazing things. July to me is truly the start of the summer. I haven't been in high school for a long time (oh goodness, don't do the math!), but until the Windsor fireworks go off and the Summer Fun Fest comes to the riverfront, it's just not summer yet. In July and August, being inside seems like the worst idea in the world - I'd rather be out on my bike touring the CWATS trails, checking out our local historic spots (like Fort Malden!) or taking part in some of the Canada150 activities happening in the region. Whenever summer starts for you, where are your adventures taking you?
