Webmaster Commentary
I have lived in this community since my great-grandfather moved here to join other family members in 1910. I have deep roots here. I chose to raise my family here. I remember a deep sense of community growing up here. Everybody knew everybody; everybody helped everybody, at least to some degree. I remember the day a kid about my age was missing. Unfortunately it ended in tragedy. So many people got involved in the search. Some details of that day are lost to me now, but I do remember how it affected so many people here. We got involved, we shared the pain, we cared. I learned what it means to live in a community that day. For the most part, we have family, we have friends, we have neighbors and we have clubs, churches and organizations to help us get by. And then we have our community, which has its own place in all our lives. Some of us moved here looking for that, some of us never left because of that. Still others may have never known what it is like to live in a community - with all its dynamics, diversities and history. So much is to be gained by each of us when we have a strong sense of community in our lives. I wish to encourage all of us to get involved, at some level, in our community. We have so many things here that can - and should - be a source of pride, strength, security and peace. Working together, we can do great things. This is evident in our skate park, our Veterans Monument and the most recent evidence, our hosting the Grand River Expedition, July 20, 2010. I have been witness to some great teamwork, pride and good old-fashioned hospitality. We can be very proud of ourselves for getting together and doing what we do. That's a hometown. That's my hometown.
