THE WAY WE WERE
Creemore Citizens Band, 1890. Read all about it in Helen Blackburn's history column on page 5.
Editor:
I moved to Creemore many years ago to raise my young family.
I have always been very grateful for the good fortune I had ending up in such a beautiful town with such a big heart.
I think the time has come for us to give our big hearts a voice. Not a loud voice but a firm one.
It is time for us to share our kindness in ways that may have been uncomfortable in the past.
When we hear someone say something that is racist or generalizes anyone, we must ask the person not to speak that way in our presence. We must set healthy boundaries and kindly speak our truth when we had been quiet in the past.

Re: Pieces of String by Tim Armour, May 22 edition, p. 5.
Nice to read a poem with that nice easy cadence. Like riding a pony.
But, oh, when I got to the part where your memory fails, I lean a little closer because you are going to tell a story with necessary hyperbole and embellishment. To try to convey the immensity of your mother’s assignment and her distress as she tries to unravel her sister’s legacy. But “felt as far as Goderich’s salt mine...” really.
Applause for Tim Armour's poem
Also, we are all responsible for the conditions in which our seniors live in our village.
We must come together as a community to ensure that our seniors, here in Creemore, have the care that they deserve and breathe clean air that has been tested appropriately.
We can send our politicians communications and require action. Our silence has come at a great cost it seems! Together, we can open minds and heal hearts.
Kristen Engel, Creemore.
Thanks for the moral, a necessary tying together of loose ends. The box will store your memories, entangled dimensions of Pearl mending, repairing, preparing and caring for those that inhabited her life, unfolding and connecting.
A bit of string theory. Ted McGovern, Stayner.
