This week you’ll read about people who are pushing boundaries…from a freestyle skier, to a tile maker, to kids pushing their own skills to new levels in the film world.
Like something from Sesame Street, this edition has been brought to you by the letter “R.” We have resale fashion, the tile maker who re-purposes, redirects and reuses a number of resources, and we also have stories from the recycling centre.
As I did interviews over the weekend and went taking pictures, I bumped into so many folks have been sideswiped by health issues, either their own or family members’. While the challenges are daunting at times like this, what also surfaces during tough times is a wave of community support.
I hope that our interview with Louise McIntosh, as she talks about her thoughts on community support, will encourage others among us to open up to some helping hands. This is what makes small town living special.
I would also like to thank you for all your encouraging words as I muddle along this learning curve to figure out the design program for layouts and get all the design, the writing, photos and interviews done by deadline. Many thanks to Martha Perkins who came back to coach me with the program last week, and who keeps sending me layout techniques advice. I will also pass along your messages for Martha as she takes time to tend to her health.
I hope you enjoy this edition’s stories and pictures.
