a4 tribune february 5 1986 editors mail annoyance dear jim weve been advised by our stouffville postmaster that our loc al postal code is to be changed with the inception of our new delivery service and that we must endure the inconvenience of notifying all our correspondents an explanation of the reasons purposes and necessity for this change was not included in the card we received it seems to me that such an ex planation would make it more palatable to postal users and allevi- ate some of the anger and annoyance that canada post seems prone to invite sincerely robt sanderson orchard park

former twp of scott now part of uxbridge councillor avery an admitted wildlife lover says he opposed the ministrys order two weeks ago and his opinion hasnt changed hes promised to do ev erything in his power to stop this sense less slaughter even to the holding of public meetings thats the standupandbecounted kind of councillor every municipality needs hundreds will hate him but all will respect him regardless of whicli side of the fence they sit the very fact a delegation of civil ser vants representing the ministry of natural resources can demand smile of the week dear editor i appreciate very much your smile of the week column in the tribune i hope youll consider my experience suitable for publication sunday feb 2 was groundhog day across north america includ ing whitchurchstouffville on saturday i was joking with my family about how phoney it all is a publicity stunt that originated down in pennsylvania i said the kids didnt take too kindly to me poking fun at the event i think they actually want to believe its true anyway on sunday morning i looked out our kitchen window and there in the backyard was the like ness of a groundhog you wouldnt believe in fact if i hadnt known better id have taken it for the real thing while the children arent admit ting who pulled the stunt it gave us ail a good laugh the stuffed replica is now our family mascot sincerely harry gleason vandorf road uk i stouffville council open an area of its municipality to a deer shoot is aggravating enough but to permit the shooting of does and fawns is asinine fight it councillor right to the cham bers of queens park if necessary rather than idiotic deerkillings councillor avery says the township should be establishing deercrossings and other protectionist policies to pre serve wildlife population this is a reason why many people moved here in the first place and are staying here says avery as far as hes concerned there are too few deer in uxbridge rather than loo many we think hes right and were pre pared to listen to the ministrys side of the story only after residents submit their list complaints health study important a town health study not this again from what weve heard this is the reaction by many people to the announcement the province will take an indepth look at health statistics as they pertain to the residents of whitchurch- stouffville this information to be gathered this spring will be compared to two other municipalities of compareablc size a public meeting to explain all this will be held at stouffville dist secon dary school thurs feb 6 at 8 pm in the light of problems related to land fill sites in other areas plus dioxin dis coveries in drinking water at windsor sarnia and wallaceburg the study here should be taken seriously were suspicious that by approving the study health officials know more than theyre telling us the investiga tion wc suspect is merely to prove if theyre right or theyre wrong to hopefully find out more attend the public meeting thursday your health and the health of whitchurch- stouffville is at stake during a recent visit to markham a friend of longstanding stopped me on the street and enquired how come your newspaper never carries anything on studio 134 the economist and sun thats our sister paper has something in almost every week but i never see anything about it in the tribune thats because ive never been there i replied have better things to do with my time come on my friend joshed dont you know half of stoiiffvilles down here every friday night and i dont mean grocery shopping either his sly wink was accompanied by an even slyer smile you choose your entertainment and ill choose mine i answered con tinuing on my way although on the surface i passed it all off as a joke the mildmannered critic ism bothered me greatly criticism al ways does when i feel ivc slipped up on something of monumental importance and the more i thought about it the greater the irritation last wednesday i made up my mind despite the likelihood of disbarment from the session of st james presbyte rian church i agreed to accompany our centennial college placement student to this socalled den of iniquity on the second floor of the sherwood tavern hwy 7 west you do the story and ill write a col umn i said erkke was anything but enthused he even called his wife to clear his conscience we arrived around 415 and took a table at the edge of the stage i counted 19 patrons in the place all male more were filing in raising the total to close to fifty by show time and show time it was to the beat of ear drumbashing music the girls one after another para ded out and around the platform each made three runs discarding pieces of paraphernalia as they pranced during the promenade they giggled and wiggled their way to a table beside ours their gyrations at this location prompted positive verbal response from the occupants causing the gals to linger awhile longer then each in turn moved down into the audience carting along a private dancestand for the benefit of those requesting more personal atten tion the afternoon rate was three dances for ten dollars erkke and i de clined while my initiation to studio 134 was one big bore we left after erkke had scribbled down sufficient notes for a story i have to give the club an environ ment rating much higher than id pre- j imagined the lightings spectacular the interior what i could see of it clean and the staff polite even the bouncer called me sir while verbal responses are permitted i couldnt help but notice a large sign on stage that read dangerdo not touch the girls i watched closely and no one did even though there was plently of opportunity no interviews are allowed i tried no photographs are permitted i tried that too such was the extent of my endeavors- honest i found the manager johnnie by name straightforward and sincere even though he has few kind words for the media he took the time to let me know exactly where he stands nobodys going to push him around thats for sure and nobodys going to push the girls around either i tried to talk three of them into interviews saturday but no such luck maybe with a change in cast
