' ' W h e n related to Whitchurch-Stouffville politics, the answer is few. Never has been and maybe never will be. I suest 70 per cent of voters Couldn’t identify the public school trustee incumbent I also suggest 80 per cent didn’t know the name of her oppo- nent. And some, I suspect, didn't vote for either. It’s a sorrylstate. This apparent lack of interest exists despite the fact, in the public sector alone, the York Region board serves more than 110,000 students plus 10,000 administra- tion and teaching staff and 179 schools in nine municipalities with an annual operating budget exceeding $1 billion. Monday’s election was a sad example. This adds up to a size- able share of your tax bill. Part of the problem here, I think, is the fact the area served by a sin- gle trustee is far too large. How, I ask, is it physi- cally possible for a trustee living in East Gwillim- bury, to cope with edu- cation requirements in Whitchurch-Stoufiville? Or visa-versa? Each municipality needs its own representative. Admittedly, when it comes to bricks and mortar, our town has fared well with three recently erected elemen- tary schools and one new secondary school â€" with more on the way. No cause for complaint. However, when it comes to putting a face to a name, most draw blanks. This undoubtedly occurred inside many ballot booths Monday. It’s time to change archaic rules and regu- lations and return some personal status to Whitchurch-Stouffville’s obscure school trustee election scene. Valet parking is com- mon in Toronto. The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has it. Several hotels have it, too. But in Stoufl’ville? Yes, believe it or not, in Stoufiville. Back in September, this Will the service con- tinue? “By all means," he said. “Patrons love it. It’s hereto stay.” Valet parking a hlt Tilne for our own - school trustee ho cares educaâ€" don? ‘ Roaming Around service was introduced at the O’Neill Funeral Home by managing director Patâ€" rick Leblanc. With amaz- ing success. The way it works, when a driver stops at the funeral home entrance, he or she is approached by the manager or one of several staff employees and the parking service is offered. If the driver agrees, the vehicle is driven to a loca- tion on Park Drive, across from Latcham Hall. A shuttle van brings the employee back. When the driver's ready to leave, he/she provides five minutes’ notice, The car’s immedi- ately returned. Utmost care is taken, Mr. Leblanc assures. The owner's name is recorded along with the vehicle’s make, colour and license number. The tagged keys are Secured in a lock box. The service is fully insured. All staff are radio-equipped. No fee is charged. During winter months, valet parking will be even more appreciated, Mr. Leblanc thinks. The attendant will remove frost and snow from the windows and make sure interiors are warm. “It’s particularly conâ€" venient for the elderly or the physically chal- lenged," Mr. Leblanc said, “their thanks and smiles say it all. Responses have all been positive.” Before the program could begin, clearance was needed from the municipality. "The town’s been very supportive,” he said. with Jim Thomas K .. ..
