Thanks for Your Comments
It was very gratifying to have people call or drop in to my shop to say how pleased they were that I was writing this column. As I said last week, I will do my best to keep people informed as to what is happening in Clinton. But I can’t do it alone. If you know of something that is coming up, please don’t assume that I know about it. I would much rather have several people let me know about something that is coming up than find out about it after the fact. If you are a member of a group or organization please let me know what your group is planning or doing so I can pass it on.
Walking the Beat in Clinton
Many Clinton residents and business owners are getting used to seeing the local RCMP members on foot patrol in Clinton. This is something that has not been seen in Clinton for many years. The first time tow of the members walked the beat this summer it caused quite a stir. Many people commented on how nice it was to see a visible police presence in town.
When the new Commanding Officer, Cpl. Mike Eling first arrived in Clinton Mayor Rivett took him around and introduced him to most of the business owners in town. Several said it was a much nicer way to meet a new member rather than when they are responding to an incident. Keep up the good work, guys!
