the town it is clear thajijhe building is unsuitable for a day care centre two things make that obvious the cost of renovation for a centre and the lack of playground area outside both things are sensible reasons to find another location but the building itself is worth keeping commercial space on- main st is scarce enough these daysand that building could well be used to fillsuch a need

task he has an appreciation for stouffville and for the history of the area he is acting as chairman of the historical committee which is compiling a history of the former village his organizational talent and ability to get along with people are also assets in that kind of job but all in all it will be his success in involving large numbers of people in the events that will determine how well

floating around in the murky depths of my mind and occasionally one floats to the surface it is usuallyslapped down by someone my wife or just given a good shot of raid and lies over on its side and

into passing a resolution banning smoking as you can well understand this came as quite a shock to mei have always taken it for granted it was my godgiven right to fill the air with acrid cloucb of
