Pam Muxlow, columnist for Tinonee Topics
How long have you been writing your column and how did you first get ‘recruited’?
I have been writing ‘TINONEE TOPICS’ since September 1988 – started off with the various Bi-Centenary Celebrations in and around Tinonee.
I was recruited by the late Jan Dyson who had resumed the column for about three years but then she opened her Tinonee Crafts and Flowers business and found that she didn’t have time to be able to do both.
What do you enjoy the most about being a correspondent?
I enjoy helping the local organizations in promoting their events and spreading the news of our area.
How do you gather your information to write the column?
I gather the information from the various organizations that I belong to and also from the Tinonee Public School newsletter and I guess ‘just keeping my ear to the ground’.
What do you like the best about the Wingham Chronicle?
I think the ‘Wingham Chronicle’ has tried to remain a friendly and newsy paper in the now very technical media world and they try to include photos of people, events and places.
