from a vantage point in the east wing of york county hospital newmarket must be a rock star one whispered to another it has to be someone important thats for sure the party whispered back a chauffeurdriven limousine was parked out front a cameraman was pacing up and down the hall several student friends were watching in an ticipation it led bystanders to believe something special was about to happen finally one gentleman could stand the tension no longer whats going on he asked hoopla over the blue box hoopla is over the pro jects been praised publicized and pro moted to the hilt now we get down to business and put into practice what this newspaper has advocated for years curbside pickup it starts thursday tomorrow dec 1 while not a total solution to whitchurchslouffvilles garbage pro blems its a beginning leis make it work as briefly as possible we filled him in on the details how a 17yearold stouff ville girl near death following a motor vehicle collision oct 1g had recovered sufficiently to be allowed to go home his forehead furrowed as if to ask is that all then he shook his head in amazement as an orderly wheeled debra surman through the sliding doors and out to the waiting limb folks who dont know stouffville shouldnt be expected to understand the feeling that accompanies injury and il lness to one of its own its a community like no other in this regard people young people in particular are important to our town may the community with a conscience never outgrow this concern you look terrible how often have people said that to you often to me they dont mean to be unkind theyre merely stating a truth however it does little to improve ones selfesteem but often i do look terrible i admit it might as well i cant hide it its writ ten all over my face so it was tuesday i took one look in the bathroom mirror and gasped the guy staring back was a likeness i never wanted to see and never want to see again his eyes were baggy his forehead furrowed his hair dishevelled and his teeth tarnished he was a mess monday nights are taking their toll i said to myself this burning the can dle at both ends is no good admittedly mondays are rough have been for 40 years the 18 plus hours 9am o3ani really drag me down it takes until thursday to recover sometimes longer trouble is the older i get the longer it takes its harder to bounce back as i sat pondering the few years i may have left the phone rang this is louise a pleasant voice said louise louise do i know a louise i began asking myself before i could enquire she explained im louise from by all means aesthetics i have a studio on main street below guaranty trust id like to give you a facial a facial for men never heard of such a thing its got to be some kind of joke i thought t myself almost like reading my mind she assured me it wasnt men have them too she insisted why not i replied ill try anything once the appointment time was set for 4 pm thursday louise codlin a very young looking grandmothertobe welcomed me into her parlor its an immaculate place with bright lights and comfortable furnishings louise i was soon to learn had entered the profession at the urging of daughter denise and with the support of husband barry the motherdaughter arrangement continued until august when louise opened her own studio at 79 main west although i didnt want to hurt this ladys feelings im always a bit suspicious of business transacted by telephone once burned twice wary i suppose the last time i was approached in such a way was 1g years ago i fell for the comeon hook line and sinker only to discover later the massage parlor was actually a coverup with nothing covered up for a house of ill repute lucky for me i escaped the place before it was raided but never in stouffville i said to myself hustling out of the office with the best wishes of staff yes jean was forewarned s you may not recognize me when i return i stated ill be a new man she replied something to the affect that anything new would be an improve ment over the old and she was right i did look terrible 1 was certain louise was on the up- andup the moment i entered her parlor take off your clothes but not your pants she stated firmly call when youre ready two minutes later i was stretched out on an elevated cot fully prepared for whatever fate had in store louise worked meticulously explain ing each step of the procedure first she put a heating pad under my back then she massaged my shoulders and neck boy it felt good after ridding the skin of impacted im purities she lathered my face with cream how do you feel she kept enquir ing obviously detecting an upbeat in my heart great 1 kept replying people love to be pampered she responded although i requested she downsize my nose and ears louise explained she was an aesthetician not a surgeon i tried to understand the difference ordinarily the operation takes about 90 minutes but since i had to at tend a 4h awards ceremony in newmarket at eight i asked her to cut the procedure short she agreed yes i left that studio with a bounce in my step completely rejuvenated and ready to face the world how do i look i enquired of jean en route to the bathroom for a peak in the mirror hard to tell in the dark she answered however through the crack in the door i distinctly heard her say pretty hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear be a part two important community events arc upcoming this weekend the festival of bells is planned for 7 pm friday at the clock tower in the town square the stouffville santa claus parade is

jim brazier sue iavine ed warlow and karen attridgcthc real thing is this fri day at 7 pm jim thomas editors mail in touch dear editor im not a political person the truth is politics in any form holds little interest kegardlcss id like to make one observation i think its admirable when our premier david peterson takes time out of his busy schedule to visit communities like whitchurch- stouffvillc if my memory serves me rightly this was his third time here in four years some kind of record also the fact former mpp greg sorbara arranged a breakfast meeting for mayors in rural york region and mpp bill ballingcr hosted- a meeting here with educa tion minister chris ward in atten dance speaks well for our area representatives the grass roots of politics is where its at while the provincial liberals have made mistakes they havent forgotten the little people of ontario which was more than one could say for their predecessors sincerely gordon cottrell elm road stouffville
