Poets Erik E-Tomic Johnson (left) and Paulina O’Kieffe appeared at “Voices and Verses” at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum Feb. 22. “It doesn’t matter how we get here, we all know Middle Passage all too well.” Middle Passage was considered to be the hardening journey for slaves when they were put on ships and sent across the ocean to North America.

In Loving Memory of Robert Bondy  July 31, 1934 - March 2, 2020 “It’s not easy to say goodbye.”  Rob died six years ago  But he lives on,  …In our minds  …In our hearts  And in our memories.  Perhaps his wife Laura and their children Mike, Laurie, Mark and Lisa can simply say,  “See you later, Dad.”

Darrel Kim Hurst  March 18, 1961- February 25, 2006  20 Years The angels gathered near your bed, so very close to you,  for they knew the pain and suffering, that you were going through. We thought about so many things, as we held tightly to your hand, oh, how we wished that you were strong... and happy once again.

In Memory of Laura Gignac  March 2, 2017 It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.  A part of us went with you the day God took you home.  If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane,  We’d walk our way to heaven and bring you back again.  In life we loved you so dearly, in death we love you still.  In our hearts you hold a place no one else could fill.  Love,  Johnny, Renée, Aimée, grandkids and family

The season is over for the North Star Wolves girls hockey team, but their loss wasn’t because of a lack of effort. The Wolves hosted the Cardinal Carter Cougars last Thursday afternoon at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg but lost 3-0 in the WECSSAA “A/AA” quarterfinal game. Despite numerous scoring chances, they were unable to find the back of the Cardinal Carter net. “I thought we

Amherstburg’s Liam Thiessen (24) just misses a scoring chance during Sunday evening’s playoff game at the Libro Centre. The Admirals beat Mooretown 4-3 thanks to an overtime goal by Cory Leach and now lead the best-of-seven PJHL Stobbs Division quarterfinal series two games to none.
