“CIB JUDGES VISIT OVER”
(Summary provided by Judi Wright, CIB Co-Organizer)
AYLMER – Judge Arlene Janzen is from White City, Sask. She had driven through town once while visiting relatives. Katy Moss Warren, from Orlando,FL, was a first-timer to this area.
They were both aware of the Amish, but have never visited Amish Country. They were intrigued with Mr. David Luthy, who entertained them for a little over an hour on Wednesday. They were genuinely interested in all aspects of Aylmer, and those who call it home. Their comments were astute and reflected the respect they have for the town and the people. I cannot comment on suggestions they left with us because they must be shared with the committee and town, first. They expressed appreciation for the opportunities we offer youth to develop interest and knowledge in their environment, they were keenly interested in our lagoon system and the quality of the water we put back into the watershed, and they were very interested in our energy conservation measures, recycling and reclaimation initiatives. Rotary Park and the Audubon Sanctuary Certification, as well as the naturalization of all parks, were noted as areas we must be proud of. There were many other positive comments reflecting the genuine concern Aylmerites have for each other and their environs. The BBQ honouring the supporters of CiB, The People Who Make a Difference Award recipients and our seniors of the year, was a highlight for them.
They were the most out-going, fun-filled, genuine judges we have had. All judges have been knowledgable, but these two embraced the community from the moment they arrived. We will know the results of the judging October 29-30. They will be announced at the National Parks Symposium in Halifax, N.S.”

“A READER WRITES:”
“Yesterday I spent 92 minutes on hold and was transferred to 4 different people only to be disconnected. This type of “customer service” is unacceptable. I tried to call back again today and got an automated – “all circuits are busy”. What recourse do the Aylmer and Area people have at this over-billing and advance billing that East Link is charging? It is time to allow other providers into our area. This monopoly MUST stop.” (Tracey Tiersma)
