wmmmm s- wmmmmmmmm sa4wednkday july 27 1983 f jv- r editors mail c too hot ai i cannot resist the urge i get from time to time and so must once v again add my two cents worth of comment via your newspaper o- penny nor 1 1 couldn t help but think of the time- worn saying if i you cant stand the heat councillor margot marshall get out of the kitchen i personally dont believe your jim holt is try ing to create any friction albeit he may be a bit of a s disturber v penny no 2 1 agree with coiuk cils decision to turn down the ap- plication for a french restaurant on church street north in stouffville however i disagree with the logic the decision is wise or certainly has merit when the reason given is be- k cause resident neighbors objected k zoning is the only protection people have when they pick and choose a place to live the decision is not par- ticularly wise when the reason given by council to turn down the requerst is because they do not see the need for another restaurant i dont particularly believe- the money will be spread too thin be tween businesses i would like to be lieve that the business that provides quality products with good service will thrive and the rest will for the most part deserve credit for how hard they try sincerely ks bob lewis rr 2 stouffville dear mr thomas with respect to mayor kings statement concerning the hog at the trough i would suggest there are many hogs in stouffville when it comes to using water i know of people right on our own street who allow their hoses to run all night just to escape attention they have the greenest lawns and the best gardens on the block but the smallest hearts it reminds me of sugar rationing during world war ii the shorter the supply the more some folks tried to horde fortunately not everyone adopts this kind of selfish attitude sincerely phyllis thompson stouffville rini -sy- cooling off peroi iforjtdwri council during the summer tt all in favor of meeting here three weeks hence please

whitchurchstouffvilles magic fes tival 83 was an ambitious venture- perhaps too ambitious when receipts are weighed against ex penditures the town could end up owing about 9000 this is a figure that must be reckoned with what happened no one has the answer nor at this stage does it really matter the event is over and the bills must be paid however council will un doubtedly wantto take a long hard look at the project before issuing its budget stamp of approval in 84 but as concerned as members may be we would suggest they not act too hastily and kill something thats still in its infan cy two years is insufficient time to judge any projects true worth give it another chance we feel that for a town the size of whitchurchstouffville the program was tooambitious that is if organizers must depend almost solely on support from within the municipality if howev- er thousands canbe coaxed out of toronto as is the case with the sales barn every saturday then the project is certain of success this is the risk the town must face it worked in 82 it didnt in 83 we like the magic festival idea be cause its unique it makes whitchurch- i a bar gain by no w most stouffville residents will have seen and likely paid their half- yearly water billj covering the period from january through june its up considerably from about 24 to 3060 or 6120 for the year despite the sizeable hike- twenty per cent weve yet to hear a complaint nor are we likely to for water here is still the cheapest commodity available- town sfolk seem to appreciate this although we pay less than anywhere else in york region we also use more the highest on a per capita basis in the region this should prompt the town to placeall water customers on meters although the fairest plan use morepay more we hope this never happens- for the costwould undoubtedly double h6wever willcome eventually irf the meahtimeiets 3 appreciate the bargain rates we now enjoy as stouffville unique the publicity most of it good is worth something if nurtured for awhile it could become priceless- we offer two suggestions if the pre sent level of entertainment is to be main tained then the committee must do a selling job in metro if the program is to be geared to a more localized audi ence then a budget cutback is required rome wasnt- built in a day neither was magic town ontario this is the age of equality anything a woman can do aman can do as well and viceversa while those of my gen eration and61dcr will question this theory its best to keep mum no use stirring up a hornets nest however you know and i know there are many things a woman can do that a man cant do as well and viceversa to disperse the storm clouds that are likely to gather over 54 main street west related to the viceversa id like to point out the dilemma into which i now find myself in this connection it has to do with a letter i received july 20 from jennie mann wife of the secret arymanager of markham fair and the affirmative reply im dashing off in to morrows mail the opening paragraph reads dear jim you are invited to partici pate in a celebrity cakedecorating competition at the markham fair sat oct 1 at 1 pm you thats me will be teamed up with a person who is a cake decorator and it will be her his respon sibility to prepare the cake to be deco- rated it will also be her his duty to supply all decoration and the equipment to be used at the time of the competition just prior to the contest the name of your teammate will be made known to you all teams willbe given a specific amount of time to create a master piece at the end of the allotted time all cakes will be judged and then auctioned off to the highest bidder your thats me again responsibility is to be a good sport ha ve a lot of fun and decorate your first prizewinning cake rsvp by au gust 15 for someone who had to sneak into his grade 10 art class via the fire escape this task represents a monumental challenge that will un doubtedly end up in disaster i know it the kids know it and my wife knows it but obviously the committee chairman doesnt otherwise shed never have risked the law suits that could follow penalties for shooting a fellow contes tant in the eye with an icing gun at thirty paces are severe even if the act is not intentional let the fair board be warned and arrange the necessary liability insurance i offer no guaran tees and this goes for spectators as well as participants although admittedly a rank amateur when it comes to cakedecorating i appreciate the talents of others its magnificent what some people can do a touch here a touch there and presto rosebuds come to life as if by magic maybe mine will too all depends on the patience of the pro with whom im associated i hope shes a descendent of job when my wife and kids read jennies by jim thomasj letter they broke into gales of laughter they know my limitations vpauls got a neat grease gun said barry you couid use it for practice i hope the building has a high ceil ing commented cathy better if they did it outside lt if nobodyll buy it the cake dont bring it home warned neil you can have the loan of my silly put ty said marylynn dont make a fool of yourself again urged my wife remembering how i once tried to ride a donkey in a comic baseball game at greenwood and nearly got killed scoff as they will one thing they all seem to be forgetting is theword celebrity this is no ordinary cake- decorating contest these are hand- i picked participants and i feel honored to have been asked heck i could be rub- bing elbows with such very important i people as fair president barry little town mayor eldred king mp sine stevens premier bill davis or prime minister pierre trudeau im not about to pass up an opportunity like that but whos to be my assistant this is 5 all very hushhush no names revealed 1 until minutes before the competitions about to begin this could prove selfdefeating for one look at her helper and shell un- doubtedly head for the nearest exit
