The Hub March 2016 | Page 5

Eva Antonel has been a resident of Essex County for the past 44 years. She has gone to school, married, raised a family, met lifelong friends and made a living by working with books and magazines in this, her chosen city. When she is not working with words, she is either reading or writing them for pleasure. Rolling out an issue of The Hub takes an entire team - writers, photographers, editors and artists. Shelley Divnich Haggert reads, writes and teaches in Windsor, and has been part of the local & national magazine industry for 16 years. She has three daughters, and is “Grandma” to a hedgehog , a parakeet and a min pin/poodle cross. She lives with her husband, and Thor, a dog who’s afraid of thunder. Angelica is a marketing writer by day and stage manager by night. She loves giraffes, chips and dip, and correcting the grammar of strangers. Angelica is addicted to all things social media and plasters her Twitter feed with photos of her dog Frankie and Samwise the cat. Here’s the team that came together for the March 2016 issue - we're glad we got to connect with them and hope their stories and photos connect with you. Mark Brown is a journalism student at St. Clair College and serves as managing editor of the St. Clair Converged Citizen. He is also an anchor-reporter for MediaPlex News Now and MediaPlex News Radio. Mark has worked at radio stations in Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. He lives in Tecumseh with his family. Alex Antonel is a LaSalle native living in Toronto. By day she vegetates in a cubicle, proofreading romance novels. By night she weaves through crowds at rock shows, samples craft beers and marks up erroneous ads on the subway with her blue Sharpie. David Dyck is a Leamington native and journalism student at St. Clair College who strays a little too close to controversy in his writing. When he’s not reading 19th century literature he dreams of becoming a travel writer/editorialist where he hopes to write about news up close and personal. Michael Haggert is one of those guys who literally puts the food on the table for his wife. While he waits for the city to realize backyard chickens are a good idea, he’s making his own pasta, putting up jam from the backyard berries or canning sauce from his homegrown tomatoes. Christian Bouchard is dubbed a farm boy and passionate individual at heart. He takes great pride in his lifelong nickname, “Bird,” and hopes to make a career out of sports. He has not missed an Ohio State Buckeyes game in over nine years. Rabiul Biplob is a journalism student at St.Clair College and The Hub’s new intern! He loves travelling and would like to travel around the world. English is his second language and he appreciates his mentors helping him to learn it. He’s happy to be working and growing with a great team. March 2016 - The HUB 5
