Puzzle lovers gather for Escape Room & Games Festival By Jonathan Martin Puzzle aficionados had a nice escape Saturday at the second annual Escape Room and Games Festival. Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada hosted the event for the second year in a row. Ten escape rooms, including five from Hidden Train Escape Rooms, Exodus Escape Rooms and Breakout Escape Rooms, challenged participants to solve puzzles in order to escape rooms in which they had been locked. Fort Malden’s employees designed five of their own, as well, tossing players into historically befuddling situations. Scherie Beneteau and Bill Dudar took the plunge for the first time last weekend. “We needed hints,” Dudar laughed. “Having never done one before, being tossed in (the escape rooms) with no background knowledge was a very unique experience.” The day wasn’t only about the rooms, though. Giant Yahtzee (which the Fort named “Yard-Zee”), bowling, checkers, tic-tac-toe, croquet, ring toss, badminton, board games and a watergun battlefield were provided by

Charity yard sale raises funds for shelter in the Congo Event continues this Friday-Sunday at the Middle Side Road home of Marc & Mary Beneteau
(Left) Volunteers with the Hope of St. Joseph Shelter were busy last Friday through Sunday at the home of Marc and Mary Beneteau as their fourth annual yard sale brought in customers from around the area. The sale continues this weekend at 3560 Middle Side Road (County Road 10) from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. (Right) John Menard was one of the volunteers at last weekend’s yard sale to benefit the Hope of St. Joseph Shelter. All proceeds from the large charity yard sale go to the shelter, which is located in Bukavu, DR Congo. By Ron Giofu The Hope of St. Joseph Shelter held the first weekend of its fourth annual yard sale and it featured everything except the kitchen sink – including a bathroom sink. The large yard sale is being hosted at the home of Marc and Mary Beneteau, located at 3560 Middle Side Road (County Road 10) in Amherstburg with Mary Beneteau still communicating with Father Donato Lwiyando, the

former associate priest at St. John the Baptist Church who has since returned home to the Congo. The DR Congo is where the Hope of St. Joseph Shelter is located and it was founded by Father Donato. The non-denominational shelter helps girls suffering from sexual exploitation and violence with Father Donato now also branching out to assist young boys as well. The yard sale is helping to pay for schooling, with Mary stating they hope to put 42 students through school this

Donations come in to where they fill the couple’s basement, garage, barn before finally being able to go outside. “It’s all donations,” she said, “even from people I don’t know. They are people so willing to help out. One way to help out is to donate stuff you don’t use anyway. We’re very grateful. This year, we got some nice stuff.” The yard sale features books, clothing, movies, dishes, toys, small furniture items and more spread out across the Beneteaus’ yard. If people stopped in and didn’t see something they liked, Mary encourages them to come back as donations will keep coming in throughout the week in preparation for the second weekend of the sale.

year. The yard sale raised approximately $3,000 in its first year, about $7,000 in its second year with last year’s sale generating about $13,000, including a pair of $1,000 donations. “It’s been a lot of work for a long time,” said Mary, of the yard sale. “It’s been going well. All of the proceeds go to putting the kids in school. People can get a tax receipt for donations over $20. There’s no middle man. Every penny goes to the education of the kids.” Schooling costs $500 per child, she stated, so planning for the yard sale starts early in order to raise as much money as they can. “I’ve been working on this since April/May,” said Mary.

By Ron Giofu The Windsor Police Service is touting 911 enhancements it says will benefit the Town of Amherstburg. According to an online news release posted by Sgt. Steve Betteridge “calling 911 in an emergency is a fantastic technological tool that helps save countless lives each and every year. 911 is the number to call for an emergency requiring police, fire, or ambulance. If you have ever called 911, you may recall a calm, cool voice on the other end of the line requesting information to assist first responders. What we often may not think about is how the 911 system works.” Betteridge pointed out that the Windsor Police Service Emergency 911 Centre, located at its downtown Windsor headquarters, operates as the Primary Public Safety Answering Point (PPSAP) for the City of Windsor when it comes to 911 calls. “Simply put, we answer the phone. All 911 calls for service are received at this location and then referred to the appropriate first responder - police, fire, or ambulance,” he stated.

Essex County Steam & Gas Museum gearing up for annual show
Francis Roelens drives the 1940 Massey-Harris tractor as Morris Kurzuk rides the 1922 Massey-Harris binder (left). Kurzuk rides the same binder he worked on as a teenager (above). They were two of the volunteers that harvested wheat off of Tony Simon’s Concession 5 North field Friday afternoon in preparation for this weekend’s Essex County Steam and Gas Engine Show. By Ron Giofu The 35th annual Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Show is this weekend and some of the preparations were taking place last Friday in an Amherstburg field. A group of about 20 volunteers were in a Concession 5 North field owned by local farmer Tony Simon last Friday afternoon cutting wheat and loading bales onto two trailers so that the wheat can be used in a threshing machine at this weekend’s show. The binder is a 1922 Massey-Harris model with it being towed by a 1940 Massey-Harris tractor. Massey-Harris tractors and equipment are being
featured this year. Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Museum president Gary Struhar noted that there will be a lot of new and returning activities and events this year. The Lazy G Ranch will present its Silver Stars team Saturday at noon. The Military Muster will be back and showing their collection as well. “They haven’t had a show for about three or four years,” Struhar said of the Military Muster. “They’re bringing their stuff for the second straight year. We’re teaming up with them.” The event will also feature tractor pulls, children’s activities including “turkey in the straw” where kids
can find tokens of various dollar values, food booths, sawmill demonstration, a Saturday night chicken and ribs dinner in the Co-An Park pavilion for $15 and, of course, the vintage tractors and threshing machine demonstrations. The OVTPA tractor pull starts at noon Sunday. The Happy Together Duo will perform on stage at 12 noon Sunday with Cross Eyed Cat performing at 2:30 p.m. There will also be speakers geared towards women, Struhar added. At 1 p.m. Saturday, “Queen’s Daughter” author Melissa McCormick will be speaking on the topic of violence towards women.

Awards part of the proceedings at Emancipation Celebration
By Ron Giofu The Amherstburg Freedom Museum maintained an annual tradition at the Emancipation Celebration and started a new one. As part of Friday night’s event, the museum presented three Mac Simpson Awards to local students. The award is named in memory of museum co-founder Melvin “Mac” Simpson and is given annually to at least one student of African descent who attended a secondary school in Windsor-Essex County and will be pursuing post-secondary education
starting in the fall. One of the three students was a General Amherst High School graduate. Hallee Kejick earned one of the awards and she will be heading to Carleton University in September in the transnational law and human rights program. Kejick aims to be a human rights lawyer. Kejick’s volunteer background includes the Amherstburg Freedom Museum where she has been involved with Ribs & Ragtime, with other volunteer work including the Emancipation golf tournament and the Greater Essex County District School Board’s

Following McCormick’s presentation, there will be more presentations by Kathy Harnadek, who will be speaking on milk bag weaving and Ken Voakes talking on textiles. Sunday’s lineup includes Diane McGuire talking on making gem bracelets, Sherry Van Horne holding a epicure and wedding planning party before Voakes’ textiles presentation returns at 3 p.m. th “It’s something new, it’s something different,” Struhar said of the ladies’ events. Morris Kurzuk, the Amherstburg resident who owns the 1922 Massey-Harris binder, said he rode it when he was 16-years-old. “I’m 84 now and I’m still riding,” said Kurzuk. The Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Show is at Co-An Park in McGregor from 12-6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

What’s Happening This Week
The Amherstburg Freedom Museum held its annual Emancipation Celebration last Friday night at the Fogolar Furlan Club in Windsor. One of the three Mac Simpson Awards went to an Amherstburg student, Hallee Kejick. Kejick stands with Windsor West MPP Lisa Gretzky, Windsor-Tecumseh MP Cheryl Hardcastle, Essex MP Tracey Ramsey and Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Percy Hatfield (above). The museum also presented its first-ever Legacy Hero Award. The award was presented posthumously to Alton C. Parker. Dianne Steele-Beer and Cherie Steele-Sexton accept the award from Amherstburg Freedom Museum president Monty Logan.
powwow. “Thanks to my volunteer and employment experience, I have not only realized I am making the world a better place, but it is my obligation to do so,” she said. Kejick noted that generations of her family have given back, and she plans on continuing that tradition. Her career goals also include her wanting to fight for fairness and equal treatment for all. Lyric Davis, a graduate of W.F. Herman Academy, and Manar Kowa, a graduate of Walkerville Collegiate, were the other two Mac Simpson Award recipients. Davis also thanked the museum for recognizing her as she pursues the mathematics and statistics program at McMaster University with the intent of becoming an actuary. Kowa will be heading to St. Clair College for its dental hygiene program. The Amherstburg Freedom Museum also presented its first-ever Legacy Hero Award, with it being present posthumously to former Windsor police officer Alton C. Parker. Parker was the first Black uniformed officer in the Windsor Police Service, joining in 1942. He was the first Black detective in Canada when he was promoted to that rank in 1951. His community work includes the Greater Windsor Foundation, the Baptist Men’s Council, Alpha Group, Brentwood and the Windsor Goodfellows. He and wife Evelyn also impacted the lives of young children in Windsor-Essex County by hosting “Uncle Al’s Kids Party” for those who couldn’t afford to go to camp. It grew from 45 kids to roughly 1,000.

GOD LOVES YOU
AND HAS PROVIDED FOR YOUR SALVATION THRU HIS SON JESUS CHRIST If you are not sure of your salvation I pray that you would stop right now and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Don't wait another minute. Here is an important prayer for you. Dear God: I thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ to die for my sins and that I might be saved. I accept him now as my Lord and Saviour and I turn from my past life to a renewed life in you through him. You said in your Word that if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead I would be saved (Romans 10:9). I believe your Word; I believe I am now saved, Thank You Lord.
Now go on and live for God

For the past 20 years, 40 to 60 people have converged on the driveway of 82 Rankin Ave. each summer. They share food, drinks and memories with their neighbours, talk about the past year’s adventures and dream about those that the next year might hold. Lynda Marotte is one of the neighbours who started the tradition and hosts the event. This year, her daughter, Landis, is set to be married, so the block party buzzed with a special atmosphere of excitement. “We’ve never skipped a year, but we almost did this year because my daughter is getting married,” Marotte said. “It’s number 20, though, so how could we?” Marotte hosts the event each year because her driveway is large enough to accommodate all the guests. She, her son and her next-door neighbour,
Jacquie Gibb, set up a tent, chairs and tables covering the bulk of the driveway, a buffet in the back yard and kept cool drinks on hand to keep the summer heat at bay. “We’re running almost on autopilot now,” Gibb said. “It’s really not that much work.” The women said they started the tradition, along with the late Bob Sutherland and Marotte’s parents, because they live on a “beautiful street with wonderful people.” The event is informal, but they said it forms strong bonds with their neighbours. Even after moving away, old neighbours still return each year to attend the block party, catch up with old friends and keep the tradition alive. Marotte said that next year, they’ll do it all over again.
Prizes awarded after Gibson Gallery’s “Essex County Blossoms” exhibit By Ron Giofu The many blooms found around the region were celebrated the last few weeks at the Gibson Gallery. The gallery’s “Essex County Blooms” exhibit concluded with its closing reception July 28 with the juried show crowning its winners. The show was intended to showcase the many blossoms, from flowers to fruit, that can be found around Essex County. “We had a really good response for this exhibit,” said the Gibson Gallery’s Bonnie Deslippe, who estimated there were 32 submissions. Ann Ducharme won for her work “Annabelle Hydrangea” while Bev Hill took second for her work “Marigold.” Lorraine Moon captured third prize for “Petal Perfect.” Judges included artist Bobbi Wagner, Paulette Drouillard from the Amherstburg Fort Malden Horticultural Society, the town’s parks manager Annette Zahaluk and artist Carol Winters. “The town’s tourism department approached us about a year ago,” Deslippe explained, as a horticultural convention was known to be coming to Windsor. “Our exhibit committee discussed it and thought this was a great idea.” A call was put out to artists and a busload from the convention did come to Amherstburg to view the works last week. “We’re very happy with the work that came in,” said Deslippe. Moon said she was happy with her third place finish, adding it took 40 hours to complete. It went from a 7 a.m. photo at a friend’s home, to a sketch before painting it. She said it was one of her first works with her portfolio now having 21. “My husband teases me about how many petals the painting has,” she said. “I say ‘don’t ask.’” Moon will also be part of Art by the River for the first time this year, with that scheduled to be at Fort Malden National Historic Site Aug. 24-25 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. both days. The next exhibit at the Gibson Gallery is “Colour & Movement” by artists Hazel Riley and Vivian Klinck.
That is open now and runs through Aug. 25. See related story on Page 8. The Gibson Gallery is located at 140 Richmond St. and is currently open daily from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For information, call 519-736-2826, e-mail office@gibsonartgallery.com or visit www.gibsonartgallery.com.

Rotary Club of Amherstburg present cheques, awards
(Left) The Rotary Club of Amherstburg presented $1,000 to Easter Seals thanks to the proceeds from the recent Martin Breshamer Memorial Pasta Dinner. Rotary’s Easter Seals chair Bob Pillon and club president Ann Marie Favot present the cheques to Easter Seals fundraising specialist Rebecca Rivard. (Centre) Assistant governor Peggy Little (second from left) presents “Super Rotarian” pins to Dan Hunt, Joan Donaldson and John Sutton. (Right) Donaldson, the Rotary Club’s past president, presents the “Rotarian of the Year” plaque to Sutton. By Ron Giofu It was a busy night for the Rotary Club of Amherstburg last Wednesday. Not only did the local service club make its annual donation to the Easter Seals, the club honoured some of its members for their service over the past year and beyond. The Rotary Club presented $1,000 in cheques to Easter Seals, represented by fundraising specialist Rebecca Rivard, with that money being raised primarily from the Martin Breshamer Memorial Pasta Dinner that was held earlier in the year. “It’s a big boost for us,” noted Rivard. Rivard pointed out the money will be put towards acquiring accessibility equipment for children with disabilities, including such items as wheelchairs and bath lifts, scholarships and camps. The closest camp for Easter Seals children is Camp Woodeden near London. The money comes at an opportune moment, she added. “It’s a big boost for us at a much needed time,” said Rivard.
Rivard added “Rotary has always been a huge supporter” of Easter Seals and praised their involvement. Bob Pillon, the Rotarian who chairs the club’s Easter Seals efforts, was pleased with how things turned out and with the donation. “It turned out well,” said Pillon. Pillon said they plan on promoting the pasta dinner further to increase attendance, noting the 2019 dinner had about 75 people attend. “We’re always hoping to try and increase it,” said Pillon. “We’re happy to do it and look forward to making it better next year.” There were also other awards presented that night as well. Past president Joan Donaldson presented a “Rotarian of the Year” plaque to club treasurer John Sutton for his ongoing efforts. Sutton, who will become president in the 2020-21 year, was credited for consistently demonstrating the values of a Rotarian with Donaldson adding that “this person just took his game up.” Sutton helped get the club’s “financial health in order” and is also involved with other subcommittees such as
the Ribfest and the committee that organized last year’s Montreal Canadiens alumni game. “You take every activity and event that comes your way with such sincerity and dedication,” said Donaldson. Sutton shared credit for the award with his fellow Rotarians. “Anyone in the club could have gotten this award,” he said. “I’m grateful and honoured to accept this. It goes to show what you can do by working together.” Sutton, Donaldson and Dan Hunt were also recognized with “Super Rotarian” pins by assistant governor Peggy Little during the meeting. Little recognized the trio’s efforts over the last couple of years in building the club back up. “You’ve turned it around,” said Little. “Your club is thriving. All of you should be very, very proud of what you have accomplished in the last two years.” For more information on the Rotary Club of Amherstburg, visit www.amherstburgrotary.com.

Gibson Gallery now exhibiting “Colour and Movement” Exhibit runs through Aug. 25
By Jonathan Martin ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if you start off the week on the wrong foot, you have ample time to turn it around and round out the end of the week on a sunny note. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, get your social obligations out of the way early in the week so you can get a little alone time. Even the most social butterfly needs to rest his or her wings. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while curiosity can be perilous for cats, you should not shy away from delving in feet first when you get a curious whim. You’ll discover a lot.
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This week you’re bound to take a definitive step forward to developing the ideas you have had in your head, Cancer. Find a friend who can serve as a confidante. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, after a few days of introspection, you’re back and better than ever with your typical boisterous personality. Others will be clamoring to spend time with you. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 YVirgo, many people call you the happy helper of all zodiac signs, and it’s a title you wear well. But sometimes the helper needs a little assistance as well. Welcome it. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, try to encourage others to warm up to your ideas. If your presentation isn’t met with enthusiasm, regroup and find a new target audience. Do not give up on plans.
The Gibson Art Gallery is alive with colour and movement now that Hazel Riley and Vivian Klinck have hung their art on its walls. Riley received her formal art training in Trinidad and Tobago. Her work spans a variety of mediums, but this exhibit, a collaboration with Klinck, whose work is mostly impressionistic, shares a common energetic vibration. From high-contrast, pointillist eclipses to heavily-saturated portraits, all the pieces in the show explode with a punch of colour, dizzying diagonals and an unabashed exploration of artistic form. “We started planning this around a year ago,” Riley said. “I’m celebrating my 75th (birthday) this year, so I’m going to enjoy it.” Riley and Klinck paint together at the Gibson Art Gallery each Thursday. “I draw inspiration from the artists with whom I collaborate,” Klinck said. “This exhibit, in large part, is because of them.” Klinck said she also draws inspiration from Van Gogh, his “unique approach to the artistic process” and his style of painting. Her work and Riley’s go well together, she said, because of their similar energy. “Everyone will see something
different in the individual pieces,” she said. “As a whole, I think they fit together very well.” The Gibson Gallery is located at 140 Richmond St. in Amherstburg. Their summer hours see the gallery be open daily from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 519-7362826 or visit www.gibsonartgallery. com.

Local youth hitting the dirt bike racing circuit
Wesley McLean has won multiple awards on the dirt bike racing circuit and is looking for more. By Ron Giofu Racing dirt bikes is becoming a McLean family tradition and sevenyear-old Wesley is reaping the benefits. Wesley McLean has been on the track since he was four-years-old and over the last two years alone, has chalked up seven first place finishes on the
Amateur Motocross Ontario (AMO) series circuit. He travels with his family, including dad Shane and mom Hailey, to places like Owen Sound, Tillsonburg and Ottawa to compete. “I like to go fast,” the young dirt bike racer said. “I’ve done it for three years. My dad was riding. On my fourth birthday, I got a Suzuki 50 cc dirt bike.
It went very fast.” Wesley estimates he competes in about 15 races per year. It was Shane’s dream to have a house with dirt bike tracks and now their Front Road North home has a pair of tracks on the property where his children practice. Wesley said he is out there at least twice per week, though one of the
tracks near the Canard River has been flooded out this year. Wesley has two bikes now – a Cobra Jr. 50 cc and a Cobra Sr. 50 cc – and races in the 4-6 age group as his birthday was only a couple of months ago. Hailey explained that classes are based on the child’s age at the start of the year. “Hopefully he finishes in the top three in Canada and can be on the podium,” she said. Wesley’s favourite trick right now is a “no footer,” a jump where he puts his feet out, but he is aiming higher. “My dream is to do a backflip when I’m 10-years-old,” he said, adding he wants to turn professional when he gets older. His next competition is the Walton Trans-Can Amateur Nationals where he will ride against dirt bikers his age from across Canada. He has no shortage of confidence as he heads there. “I’ll be able to beat them,” Wesley said. Both Shane and Hailey admit it’s hard to watch their son compete as Wesley is an aggressive rider.

Sr. Cardinals drop to 10-8 on the season after loss in Woodslee Cards return to the Libro Centre this Friday night to battle the Essex Yellowjackets By Ron Giofu The Amherstburg Cardinals senior baseball team dropped their fourth game in a row last Wednesday night. The Cardinals’ only game of the week was an 8-1 loss to the first-place Woodslee Orioles senior team at Reg Chevalier Park in Woodslee. The game started well in the first inning as Matt Bassingthwaighte’s RBI single brought Nick Price across home plate. However, things turned sour after that for the Cardinals as a dropped fly ball with two outs opened the door for Woodslee to score four that inning and they tacked on four more before all seven innings were played. “We took the lead in the first and let the rest of the game get away from us,” said Price. “We left way too many runners on base. We had six hits, but it wasn’t enough.” Price said leaving runners on base has been a trend lately for the Amherstburg squad. “We’re getting guys on base, but we’re just not driving them in,” said Price. “The defense is playing well. We’re on a bit of a slide right now. We’re going to take the long weekend off and regroup.” Price went three-for-four in the game and said he has been hitting well lately. “I’m on a bit of a hot stretch,” he said. “I’d like to keep hitting.” The Cardinals were missing some players the last few games and hope to get a lot of those players back this week when Essex County Senior League action resumes. The senior Cardinals host the Essex Yellowjackets Friday night at 7:30 p.m. before the Orioles come to the Libro Centre Sunday at 2 p.m. Those are the final
Amhersburg second baseman Mac Ouellette attempts to make a play as a Woodslee runner slides towards him (above) while third baseman Pat Cafaro catches a fly ball (right). The senior Cardinals are at home this Friday and Sunday versus the Essex Yellowjackets and Woodslee Orioles respectively. RTT PHOTOS BY RON GIOFU

Golf tournament helps raise funds in the battle against ovarian cancer
“There can be side effects, but you do what you have to do and put one foot forward in front of the other,” she said. There is no pre-screening for ovarian cancer, Gattozzi noted, unlike other forms of cancer. Symptoms are often “vague,” she said, and misdiagnosed with women sometimes not discovered to have the disease until they’ve had it for some time. Proceeds from the tournament will go towards research with the money to be donated to Ovarian Cancer Canada in Toronto. That is the only charity in Canada specifically dealing with ovarian cancer research. The tournament ended up raising $30,000.

MEMORIAM
Mark Leonard Tonkin May 15, 1955 - August 6, 2009 10 LONG YEARS MISSING THE LAUGHTER We can’t have the old days back. When we were all together, But secret tears and loving thoughts. Will be with us forever. The years may wipe out many things, But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days, Which we have spent together. He walks with us down quiet paths, And speaks in wind and rain, For the magic power of memory, Gives him back to us again. Always Loved, Never Forgotten. -Your Family

Loved and missed more everyday. Love Mom & Dad, Bill & Tracey Randy & Amy and the girls
Love Your Family

Ninety-one-year-old Theresa Bezaire was one of the shoppers that came out to the Hope of St. Joseph Shelter yard sale last weekend. The yard sale continues this Friday through Sunday at 3560 Middle Side Road.
Donations being accepted for shelter Continued from Page 2
“Our dream is to have our own school (in Bukavu, DR Congo),” explained Mary. “There is a piece of property right next to the shelter. If we could get that, we could put the school right there.” As it is now, students have to walk an hour each way from the shelter to their current school each day. “Our own school would give them a much more positive view towards learning,” she said. Students range from elementary to college level with some enjoying a new carpentry program. Some have difficulty reading, she added, while others work in the fields growing cassava, corn and beans. The second weekend of the charity yard sale is this Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. Those who wish to make donations can do so by calling Mary at 519-736-6263 or Larry Allen at 519-736-6731.
Exodus Escape Rooms brought in a tutorial room for new initiates, like Beneteau and Dudar, as well, in order to explain the way escape rooms work. “Last year, the park looked kind of empty because everyone was in an escape room,” Corrine Ross, Fort Malden’s visitor team leader, said. “This year, we decided to add some variety to the activities and people seem to be loving them.” Between their scheduled escapes, families milled about the parade square, throwing, batting, spraying and splashing. Friends of Fort Malden provided refreshments, too, so the summer heat was cut by water bottles, soft drinks and beer, which G.L. Heritage Brewing Co. poured from its taps. Light Sound Action Entertainment Services bumped out the tunes during the day, with Radio Unplugged belting out some rock after 5 p.m. “We’re having a really great time,” Beneteau said, smiling. “It’s really hard, but it’s a lot of fun.” Some rooms were more challenging than others. James Kirk MacLean, who ran Fort Malden’s Mayhem in the Marquis, said his room had a 20 per cent success rate. “And we’re giving them clues,” he exclaimed. “I guess you just have to change the way you think.”
Radio Unplugged plays until the sun goes down at the second annual Escape Room & Games Festival at Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada in Amherstburg last Saturday evening.

Local student earns Mac Simpson Award

Parker also won the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship in 1976 and was also named to the Order of Canada. His granddaughter Cherie Steele-Sexton accepted the Legacy Hero Award at Friday night’s banquet at the Fogolar Furlan Club in Windsor. Reading comments on behalf of her mother and herself, Steele-Sexton noted her grandfather was never afraid to stand up for his beliefs or to come to the aid of someone in need. “He was loved and respected in his community and across the province and country,” she said. “One person can make a difference. An ordinary man can be a hero.” Museum president Monty Logan also outlined the Freedom Achievers program as part of the Emancipation Celebration.
The initiative, one of four being fundraised for by the Amherstburg Community Foundation, will bring a high-profile speakers series and a youth mentorship program to the museum. The first speaker has already been announced. Detroit Pistons head coach Dwane Casey will kick the series off later this fall. The Freedom Achievers program was created out of input received at the Amherstburg Freedom Summit held in 2017. “We need to invest in our future,” said Logan. “(The youth) are our future and will help us overcome the challenges we have.” For more information on the Amherstburg Freedom Museum, visit www.amherstburgfreedom.org or call 519-736-5433. The toll-free phone number is 1-800-713-6336.
Dirt bike rider seeking sponsors

“It’s nervous for us. He rides on the edge so he is very exciting,” said Shane. “He pushes really hard. He’s got an edge to him.” “He doesn’t take the easy road,” added Hailey. Wesley will be entering Grade 2 at St. Joseph School in the fall and he said he talks to God each race with the family also having a prayer before the races.
He has suffered injuries, however, including a broken collarbone and a broken arm in 2017. The family travels in a camper to Wesley’s races with that becoming an expensive hobby. They are looking for financial donors or gas cards to help him achieve his dreams. For more information on how to sponsor Wesley, e-mail shmclean311@ gmail.com.
