The municipal portion of Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville residential taxes are proposed to go up 2.5 per cent, which trans-lates to roughly $60 for a single-family home assessed at $553,855.
The 2016 draft budget, released last week, proposes an operating budget of $58.5 million, which includes 11 new full-time employees and a capital budget of $39.3 million.
The draft budget was formally received by council Tuesday night, but garnered no discus-sion from councillors or the gallery.
The draft budget also includes $2.4 million in new debt requests, which brings the town debt capacity to about 10 per cent. It was 9 per cent in 2015.
The proposed capital budget of $39.3
Town Taxes would go up 2.5%

Whitchurch-Stouffvilles mayor did not like hearing people are afraid, pressured, beat down, worn down, not heard, during Tuesday nights council meeting, where once again the library/leisure centre expansion was up for discussion
Mayor Justin Altmann directed those comments to Brian Puppa, director of the Legacy Center, who presented a request to council on behalf of more than two-dozen prominent residents, to defer approv-ing the $12.825-million project.
I just feel like there is this
underlying current that
the town is not satisfied
with the services that were
offering and I dont know
if thats actually true.
In reality it was former Whitchurch-Stouffville Citizen of the Year Diane Ward, who said, in part none of council seem to lis-ten or hear any of us on December (first) making us feel controlled and not important.
Two weeks ago was the last time the expansion came before council for discussion. Ward, a senior, also spoke at the meeting in favour of putting a seniors centre back into the plan.
During this weeks delegation, she claimed the executive of the 55 Plus Club approved their move from Latcham Hall to 6240 Main Street only because they felt pressured to agree.
Council did not discuss defer-ring the expansion for a month, as requested by Puppa, but instead, unanimously approved the revised concept design.
Among the more than two-doz-en people to put their name to the request was former federal NDP candidate Gregory Hines, who also
works for Community Living York South; 2014 mayoral candidate Arnold Neufeldt-Fast; Buckingham Manors general manager Michelle Hanson, as well as former town councillors Wilf Morley and Jim Sanders.
No one from the full gallery spoke in favour of the expansion.
I just feel like there is this under-lying current that the town is not satisfied with the services that were offering and I dont know if thats actually true. I realize that we dont have the ability to be all things to all people, said Ward 5 Councillor Iain Lovatt.
He cited a 2008 quality of life survey, which found 93 per cent of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with municipal gov-ernment services, with the greatest satisfaction for the library, leisure centre and swim programs, along with fire/emergency services and waste collection.
He was not sure if a more recent survey was available, it was what he could find during the meeting.
Brian Hathaway, whose Rose Avenue home backs onto the facil-itys north side, doesnt think a new library is needed.
That building is not worth attaching another building to, he told councillors.
Another resident Warren Brubacher wasnt in favour or against the expansion, but noted libraries have always been a refuge for him.
Every time he moves to a differ-ent town, the first place the 58-year-old looks for is the library.
What he did note about the Stouffville library, however, was there were no quiet zones.
Its very difficult in that library to find a place to study, he said, noting a library is not a daycare centre.
Construction is expected to get started as soon as possible in 2016, with a completion date of early to mid-2017.
Municipal, provincial and federal offices could all be under one roof in the new year.
Markham-Stouffville MP and Health Minister Jane Philpotts proposal to move into the municipal offices was approved by council Tuesday night.
The MPs staff will move into a repurposed board-room adjacent the lobby and customer service area.
Philpott is currently set up in former Conservative MP Paul Calandras old office on Main Street east of Ninth Line.
Some councillors, however, were concerned about having to pay the leasehold improvements if Philpott were to only be in office for one term. They suggested the renovations be paid off within her first term.
It was also noted Oak Ridges-Markham MPP Hel-ena Jaczek is interested in moving her constituency office into the town hall.
That is not a rumour. Helena Jaczek was here Friday and we had a good tour of the building. The interest is there, said Marc Pourvahidi, CAO for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville during Tuesday nights council meeting.
There was no discussion on where her constituency office could be located.
The CAO said they would know in January if Jaczek will also move into the municipal offices.
For the 2018 provincial election, the ridings will be re-aligned to match the federal ones.

The coveted list of which Ontario grocery stores can stock and sell beer is out. And seven of the 58 stores selected are in York Region but none are in Stouffville.
The bulk of the York Region grocery stores, which got permission to start selling the 6-packs as of Tuesday, are in Vaughan. The others are in Richmond Hill, Aurora and New-market.
However, of the seven grocery stores in the
region, only one was up and ready to sell beer as of Tuesday.
The Real Canadian Superstore at the cor-ner of Yonge Street and Green Lane in East Gwillimbury had its beer on the shelf.
Customers like the assortment, said store manager Ryan Campbell. They like the convenience of doing their shopping all in one place and that prices are the same as the LCBO.
This location is one of 19 stores under the Loblaws umbrella selected to sell beer.
The provincial government expects to open beer sales to some 450 grocery stores in the coming years.

onesty was his policy. And this is the lega-cy Stouffvilles Jim Bartley
leaves following retirement Nov. 30 from the employ of Alex Williamson Motor Sales Ltd., Uxbridge where he served as a key member of the companys sales staff for 30 years.
I felt the time was right, says Bartley in truthfully admitting hell now have more time to spend with wife, Lois.
At age 77, hes earned this privilege.
Born at Sunderland, one of three in the family of Rich-ard and Muriel Bartley, Jim and Lois (Longhurst) are the proud parents of two sons, Richard and Kevin and one daughter, Lori Sellers, all of Stouffville. They have eight grandchildren.
Jim received his formal education at Brock High School, Cannington, after which he joined the staff of Comco Electroplating in Uxbridge.
While still in his teens, a friend saw in him something he hadnt yet seen in himself. He suggested I should be a salesman, Jim remembers. I took his advice.
Hes never been sorry.Jims first stint at sell-
ing cars was with the Ford dealership of Brad Walker Motors in Sutton. Later, he and partner Dick Coffey purchased the Sutton outlet before establishing Coffey and Bartley Motors on the site of what is now The Lion of Stouffville.
After selling his share of the business to Coffey, Jim received a call from Doug Ward, a partner in the firm of Conlin Motors, Markham. Ward enquired if he might be interested in joining the sales staff there and Jim agreed. This arrangement continued almost three decades.
In 1986, Jim made the
move to Williamsons in Uxbridge.
I wished to be closer to my boys, he recalls. Both Richard and Kevin were already employed there.
Jims sales record at Con-lins and Williamsons com-bined is mind-boggling; more than 9,000 vehicles including new and used cars and trucks.
The secret of his success?Ive always had a liking
for people, he explains, and I believe in being honest. His reputation for both qualities extended far beyond the boundaries of Uxbridge. I put myself in the customers shoes, he insists.
Sixty percent of purchas-es have been repeat buyers, he says, some extending through three generations. Working with established firms, (Conlins and William-sons), really helped. Efficient service has been beneficial also, he says.
Jim admits to challenges. Like the lady who agreed to purchase a brand new white Cadillac with beige inte-rior. When the car arrived, she complained the interior was not the colour she had expected.
What to do? Since the agreement had already been signed, it meant the car would be classed as used. The end result? Another Cadillac with the desired interior was ordered and the owner drove
home happy.We worked everything
out, Jim remembers while wiping perspiration from his brow.
With so many GM cars and trucks on the lot and in the showroom, the selec-tion is huge, Jim says. The purchase of the Dean Wat-son Chrysler dealership next door provided an even greater variety, he adds.
Will he miss the daily rou-tine?
The time is right, he says, Im leaving on a high note. But the Williamson door remains open.
If I wish, I can still go back and sell a car or two, he concludes.
Lorne Boadway PS?
A new public elementary school will soon be built in Stouffvilles southeast cor-ner.
While construction is yet to begin, the selection of a suitable nameplate is also up in the air.
So who should be select-ed for this honour?
The choice is obvious the late Lorne Boad-way, dedicated principal of Stouffvilles Summitview school for 31 years.
While education is first and foremost, Mr. Boad-ways influence on this community included more than bricks and mortar. He shared everything good about our town up until a few weeks before his pass-ing.
The process to name the school has not begun, board spokesperson Licinio Miguelo told The Sun-Tri-bune this week.
But you can still express your opinions by e-mailing trustee Loralea Carruthers at [email protected], he said.
Jim Thomas is a Stouffville resident who has written for area newspapers for more than 60 years.

hat about the poor, the home-less, the unem-ployed who are here already?
That question is raised by some of the many people who are against welcoming refugees to this province and country.
According to some polls, almost half of us are against the governments plan to accept 25,000 refugees. They perhaps arent part of the groundswell of donations and charitable giving efforts to provide warm cloth-ing, shelter and social assistance to refugee families escaping war and terrorism or trapped in hold-ing camps for years.
One stated reason is that our welfare and healthcare systems are already stretched, and we have people living on our streets, too, who need food and shelter.
If thats how you feel, then dont donate to a Syrian refugee fund or bring clothing or house-hold items to a church group sponsoring a family.
You can put your resolve and your actions behind your con-cerns, and make life a little better for your neighbours experiencing challenges right in York Region.
There are so many modest ways to help.
Last week I donated several pairs of winter boots my daugh-ter and son had outgrown to a clothing collection organization.
I donated about 15 airline toi-letry kits to an agency that will give them to the homeless over the holidays. (My husband is a very frequent flyer who keeps bringing home unopened kits.)
And when I went grocery shopping, I dropped one extra bag of pasta, sauce, fruit cups, juice packs, etc. into the stores food bank collection bin.
So with very little effort on my part, I helped provide a few items of warm clothing, hygiene items and food to those in need .
You dont have to look hard to find donation drives right in your town that resonate for you.
Every day at my office, I hear
and see donations from gener-ous readers and advertisers being dropped off to sponsor less for-tunate families through our York Region Media Santa Fund.
And there are altruistic, price-less donations you can give, as well.
York Regions own Health Min-ister, Hon. Jane Philpott, donated blood on Monday in Ottawa to help encourage others to give the gift of life this holiday season.
Last week I made my 25th blood donation at Hillcrest Malls permanent blood clinic.
Canadian Blood Services encourages donors to make a big deal of landmark donations, mostly to encourage other donors to strive to give more.
So nurses gave me a 25-do-nation pin and cheerful sticker to wear to proclaim my own per-sonal record. As I had health chal-lenges last year and hadnt given blood for a while, I was proud to be able give blood again.
But as I sat at the recovery table I met another donor, a man from Woodbridge, who told me hes closing in on his 150th donation! And Sun-Tribune editor Jim Mason gave his 41st pint Saturday.
Regular, dedicated donors dont care what religion a patient is who needs a blood transfusion, whether they are rich or poor, homeless or unemployed, bank president or fast food employee.
Thats the joy of this season of giving its not who you help that matters, its how you feel to give thats the ultimate reward.
Marney Beck is editor of The Liberal newspapers in Richmond Hill and Thornhill.
Season of giving can involve modest, priceless donations

There aretwo types of homemade cranberry sauce now, but this(my fave) is in tubs rather than jars... the one in glass isnot made here, and its missing the brandy!Grethes Cheese Apples This Danish contributioncome from Grethe, our tall blonde Dane who is in her30th year of tenure at our store. This is one of thosesignature items from our store, and it got to be thatsimply because they are really great!Christmas Candles and Napkins Doting runsin Cathys family, and these are doted upon by Cathysbig sister Carol...and just so you know, they are bothamazing.Doreens fruitcake The ultimate Fruitcake, bothlight and dark, and just a little heads-up; the light isonly light in colour. The flavour is rich and its prettyhard to have just one piece.Tourtires These savoury Pork Pies have long agooverflowed the bounds of Quebec. They are a Christmasmust, and are available in either 9 size or individuals.Extra-Large Entres Well have a good supply oflarge size Chicken Pies, Scalloped Potatoes, Turnip orSweet Potato Puffs, and a few Lasagnas, too! Theseare a good plan if your hands are full and youve gothungry people over.Cheese In all its savoury beauty, and probably theneatest selection of crackers to match.Dried fruit TraysIts me that makes these on a widevariety of platters. I pick the premium fruit, and arrangeit tastefully its edible and thoroughly enjoyable art!flowers What youll find are seasonal cut flowerarrangements, table centre-pieces, candle centres, andsome really beautiful and imaginative presentations,and any of these can be ordered.Smoked Salmon by Evan We use fresh Atlanticsalmon, cure it, and season it, and then slow-smoke itover oak until its fully cooked it will flake into cracker-size portions. Even more of a fave to me is the SmokedBlack Cod that we make it is subtle and sublime. Boththese items can be ordered in whole or half sides if youhave a number of guests.Sausage Rolls All made here, sausages too! ... and awide variety of Hors DOeuvres from my friend AnneKaukonen from Appetizers and More.Champagne Sauce For your Shrimps! This is analternative marinade for your shrimps, and if you canjudge from my hockey buddies, it is hugely popular. Itsavailable in containers at our self-serve deli counter.Aunt Sarahs Chocolates These have become astaple in our store because; (a) they are made locally(b) they use really good chocolate, (c) there are manyimaginative creations; you can tell that they are havingfun! ...and (d) they are really nice folk get somechocolate on your face its good!Gift HampersWemake a number of styles, but theyare only a suggestion, as they can include whatever youfeel would be most appropriate for the occasion andthat can include spirits, too!Smoked Turkey Breasts You would know by nowthat we make Whole Smoked Turkeys, but this yearyou can get just the parts as well. These breasts rangein size from 3 to 6 lbs., are a solid piece, and wouldmake an excellent side, or the main course. I like thisserved just warm with Emelias Red Pepper Jelly asthe condiment.

BIG, HEARTfELTTHANKS
for the amazing amount of supportwe have received from you. Thisyear has been the best yet withour food drive. A big thanks tomany, many who participated and aslightly larger thanks to Vic Steane,the guy who orchestrated things.It made the season better for many.
The story is this we are heavily into the ham business, but in the old-fashioned way. Tomany folks nowadays, ham is ham; if youve tried one, youve tried them all. That is, unlessyou are old enough to remember what ham originally tasted like before the process of makingthem became mechanized. Machines? Yes, thats right. Nowadays almost all hams (includingspiral honey-baked hams) are put through a process called tumbling. Its like a giant dryer,but with the opposite function. This machine boosts yield, which means hams grow biggerin weight during the process, (just read the protein added part of the label to find out howmuch it has grown). The good part (for the manufacturer) is that: a) you have more hamto sell because theyve all expanded and; b) all the little miscellaneous bits of pork can beput through this process as well because it glues it all together in the shape of a ham ($1.99supermarket ham). The bad part (for the customer) is that gone for good is the texture,tenderness and flavour that made ham famous in the first place. At our store we make ham inthe time-honoured, pre-mechanical way, by hand! Come pay us a visit well restore your faithin ham! Its best to order early!

TURKEYSFREERANGE
$369/lb
Weve sold these amazing turkeys for the last 29years and Ive written all that can be written aboutthem. So at risk of boring you folk who have readthis for the last 20 years or so, there are a couple ofpoints that Id like to make to our newer customers.Firstly, our turkeys eat lots of grain and corn, asmuch or as little as they want, because they runloose. Add to this a gentler de-feathering processwhich leaves more of the natural flavour and theodd feather with the turkey, and youll have aturkey that will exceed your expectations for flavourand moistness, without the aid of the artificialenhancement that Butterballs and some other pre-basted turkeys receive. They come with a little pop-up thermometer as well, just so you know when theyre done, which is often a bit quicker thanyou might expect. They range in size from 14-21 lbs, and for my taste, the optimum eatingquality is from those in the 18-21 lb size, as they have a good finish to me. Please know thatthey are available in portions as well if your needs are less. Call us toplace your order. If a whole turkey is more than you can handle, wehave portions available, from Boneless Breast Roasts (either stuffedor plain) to my fave Boneless Thigh Roasts for dark meat lovers.Anything that you can imagine in turkey, well have for you.
Although turkey is the overwhelmingchoice for Christmas dinner, its noteveryones first choice. We have a reallybig selection of premium meats tochoose from. For starters, no one thatI know goes to the length that we doto pick delicious Pork Loin Roasts,available either stuffed or plain orCrown Roasts. The sauce is true of ourPrime Rib Roasts. Our single criterionfor picking our meat is the eating qualityand I know that especially at holidaytimes when dinners are special, this iskey. Our whole inventory of centre cutsthis holiday is Prime Grade; the besteating grade in Canada, and the U.S. forthat matter. We pay a premium to get thisgrade, and we must charge a bit more,but this is the time that you especiallywant the best. Poultry options are nicelarge capons and cornish hens, and oursalmon is second to none. Youve got lotsto choose from!

Study Initiation NoticeGATEWAYMIXEDUSE AREA/WESTERNAPPROACH
LANDUSE PLANNING STUDYSTUDY PURPOSEThe Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville in undertaking a land use planning study for the lands atthe intersection of Highway 48 and Main Street which are designated as Gateway Mixed UseArea in the Community of Stouffville Secondary Plan. The study will also address lands tothe immediate east along Main Street in the Western Approach Area, which extends east tothe Ninth Line, and related urban design considerations. The Study will examine the full rangeof policy, servicing, transportation, and environmental issues necessary to prepare a detaileddevelopment concept plan for the Study Area and related amendments to the Secondary Plan. Adetailed implementation strategy will also be developed to advance the preferred land use andurban design concept plan.STUDY AREA
BACkGROUNDThe Community of Stouffville is the focus for development in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffvilleand, in turn, Main Street is the focus for the Communitys unique small town character. Theintersection of Highway 48 and Main Street the main gateway to the Community of Stouffville does not currently provide the distinctive entrance which is required to welcome residents andvisitors to the Community, and to link the area to the Western Approach.This situation reflects a number of constraints to development in this area including the characterof the roads, the extensive floodplain, significant natural heritage features and the need to addressthe provision of services to the area. However, the limited development in the area also providesopportunities for the creation of a distinctive Gateway Mixed Use Area and this also applies to theadjacent portions of the Western Approach.The Community of Stouffville Secondary Plan establishes that the Town may prepare a detailedprecinct plan, including a concept plan, which will address not only design issues, but will providea specific strategy to address and resolve constraints to development in this area. The currentstudy will result in the development of the required plan and strategy with the intent of kickstarting development of this key gateway to the Community of Stouffville.STUDY PROCESSThe Gateway Mixed Use/Western Approach Land Use Planning Study is in its initial stages andyou are invited to share your views with respect to the future development of this area. You maycomment on line by visiting the Towns website, or submit your comments in writing to Ms. PaulaViola at the address below. This input will be considered in the preparation of a background reportwhich will be considered at a public information session anticipated in March 2016.Your input is important.

BY SANDRA [email protected]
Is it a peat moss extraction/triple mix business or a waste disposal/transfer site?
For two years, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville and resident Paul Bolender have been having this argu-ment in court.
Bolender contends his business on Hwy. 48, just north of Vandorf Road Bolender Excavating and Garden Sup-plies is a peat moss extraction/triple mix site. The town believes it is an illegal waste disposal/transfer site.
Bolender, 89, was somewhat victorious recently when the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled the initial lower court judgement, which was in favour of the town, was wrong and ordered the matter to trial.
The municipality also had to pay Bolender $20,000 for legal fees. However, because Bolender had money owing to the town, he received only a portion of the settlement, according to Marc Pourvahidi, CAO for the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
It certainly and should be considered a success. I dont want to say its a victory for the little guy, Bolenders lawyer Al Burton of the Toronto law firm Thomson, Rog-ers told The Sun-Tribune.
The original judge ruled the Hwy. 48 business was a waste disposal site and against the municipal zoning bylaw.
I just dont view it as an appropriate use of
taxpayer dollars. There are other ways they
could resolve this matter, if they would just
come to their senses.
However, Bolenders appeal was successful because the evidence before the lower court judge could have been interpreted either way, according to Burton.
The original case was made with affidavits; there were no live witnesses. However, the lower court judge needed live witnesses and cross-examinations in order to render the decision he made, according to Burton.
Burton did not represent Bolender in the lower court proceedings.
The decision as to where to go next is up to the town.Yes, we are contemplating pursuing it, Pourvahidi
said earlier this year.Weve had discussions and an action plan is pend-
ing, he said, but because it is a legal matter, the CAO would not provide details.
Contacted yesterday, he said he could not comment.I certainly think its unfortunate taxpayer dollars are
being used battling a 40-year-old business, Burton said. Litigation may not end in their favour.
I just dont view it as an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars. There are other ways they could resolve this matter, if they would just come to their senses, he said.
The business has been operating while the court pro-ceedings have been going on.
Its certainly cast a pall over this business. To be blunt, its severely impacted the business, Burton said.
The issue of whether it was a peat moss extraction/triple mix site or waste disposal/transfer site came to the towns attention via complaints of a composting odour, trucks attending and dumping materials, as well as the discharge of effluent from Hydrovac trucks, according to the written court of appeal decision.
Municipal bylaw officers attended the site and con-cluded there was no evidence of a triple mix business, according to the written decision.
There is no timetable for when this matter will go to trial.
A former Stouffville resident is this years recipient of the Everyday Political Citizen award in the 30-plus age category.Luke Anderson, creator of StopGap, those colourful ramps you see outside of Main Street businesses, received the award from Samara Canada, a charity dedicated to connecting citizens with politics.To me, winning this award reinforces how a simply painted ramp, made out of four pieces of wood can change the way that we think about our communities and can provoke or stimulate change. It requires a lot of people, too. Im accept-ing this award on behalf of everyone weve inspired and changed the mindset of, Anderson said.Politics is about solving problems together and I think Luke sees a problem with accessibility at the street level and he began to solve that problem, said Kendall Anderson of Samara Canada. The jury included Rick Mercer, Shad and Peter Milliken, a former speaker for the House of Commons.Earlier this year, nine Whitchurch-Stouffville artists, along with a handful of other artists, utilized StopGap ramps as their canvas to create original pieces of art that were auctioned off for the Stop-Gap Foundations fundraiser Ramp it Up.Anderson, a Toronto resident, is confined to a wheelchair following a mountain bik-ing accident more than 10 years ago. A structural engineer, he founded StopGap four years ago and started making the colourful, single-step ramps as a way for businesses to become more accessible.

More than half of PACE on Mains units are sold.
Were very excited about the building and its contribution to the downtown, said Cheryl Shindruk, executive vice-president of Gera-nium Corp.
The project on the corner of Lloyd and Main streets is a PACE/Geranium partnership.
Of the 67 units available, 52 to 55 per cent have been sold, according to Shindruk.
The condos range in size from 650 square feet for one or two bed-rooms, to 1,129 square feet suites on the penthouse floor. All have nine-foot ceilings, gourmet kitchens and high-end finishings.
Buyers are locals looking
to downsize or younger
people wanting that
maintenance-free lifestyle,
according to Shindruk.
The selling prices start at $329,900 and go to $740,900, plus maintenance fees.
Buyers are locals looking to downsize or younger people want-ing that maintenance-free lifestyle, according to Shindruk.
Drawings for the building per-mits have recently been filed with the town, she said.
The rule of thumb for financing, according to Shindruk, is that 65 to 70 per cent of the units must be sold before construction can begin.
Theres different ways to finance. If you go to the banks, thats what they require. If you dont go to the banks, it doesnt matter, she said.
The buildings at Main and Lloyd streets are expected to be demol-ished in the spring, enabling con-struction. Occupancy is slated for the fall/winter of 2017.
For more information on the project, go to: geraniumhomes.com

Seniors
Pickleball trumping seniors needsRe: Downsized library/leisure centre plan pro-ceeds, Dec. 3.
I would like to clear up the misconceptions presented by Stouffville council and staff to the public regarding the proposed expansion of the leisure centre at the Dec. 1 meeting.
Council and, in particular Councillor Rob Hargrave and Mayor Justin Altmann in their comments, led the public to believe citi-zens who spoke against the proposed expan-sion presented that night were advocating a revised plan to cost $30 million.
On the contrary, all eight presenters were advocating a plan that will accommodate all the needs of the town in the future. Councils proposed plan addresses the needs of today with no vision for the future. The presenters were appealing for council to step back and prepare a plan with a vision for the future; establish their priorities and build as financ-es are available.
Council seems to think they can revise the plan and make an addition when the need arises. One only needs to look at Latcham Hall with all its piecemeal additions to realize the problems and extra costs created when renovations are necessary. The blueprints must show the finished product that will provide all the services necessary to serve all the citizens in the future. Then, when finance allows an addition, the renovations can easily and inexpensively be accommodated.
I find it interesting the bureaucrats were able to convince council to increase the square footage of the multipurpose room to accommodate the wishes of 150 pickleball players, while any consideration for 12,000
seniors in Whitchurch-Stouffville is ignored. As a senior, it sorta gives you that warm feel-ing, doesnt it?
It is also interesting councillors Ferdinands, Kroon, Upton and Lovatt did not address the proposal at the meeting. Did they want to have input from the public? I dont think so!

Arts, culture bring people togetherOn behalf of the Nineteen on the Park
advisory committee I would like to offer my sincere thanks to attendees, volunteers, sponsors and donors for their participation at the sold-out Snow Ball Gala Fundraiser held at 19 on the Park last Friday night.
It was wonderful to enjoy a delicious meal together, catered by our popular Fishbone Bistro. It was also exciting to enjoy local musi-cal talent: The Musical Duo Hyssop, as well as Graham Playford and the Flying Js had us all moving and grooving. Stouffvilles own John-ny Wideman captivated the audience when he premiered his story Christmas Skeptic. The silent auction was a huge success.
The committee believes arts and culture bring people together and we are seeing to it that our strong and close-knit community continues to thrive. Please go to nineteenon-thepark.com to peruse the remaining shows for 2015 and the upcoming 2016 season.
I wish you all the best this holiday season and hope to see you at Nineteen on the Park again soon.
