Our sincere thanks also to the captains and canvassers who helped make this possible Complains about focus of massage therapy article In the Kâ€"W area the majority of KR .M T s that 1 kno®% work with a specific therapy and if this aspect of massage was more generally known about it would do more to dissassociate us from the erroneous and unsavory association with bodyâ€"rub than anything else I know.

We were taught that the sensitivity of our hands had to develop to the point where we could feel a hair under several layers of paper without any difficulty. Often our work involves isolating a single muscle fibre causing a great deal of pain and discomâ€" fort. Residents of Waterloo County look to the running of the maple sap to signal the coming of Spring Maple bushes. dotted with spiles and buckets. begin to line our country roads.

Now in its 19th year. the annual event attracts thousands of visitors on one day to the heart of Ontariao‘s Pennsylvania German Country Visitors flood the community from all points of the province. with tourist dollars in hand. to indulge in maple treats and local souvenirs No other profession has this training. that is why we so often get persons with conditions that ~no one else has been able to treat with any lasting results‘" if any results were obtained at all Massage is a science as well as an art so of course each therapist has his or her own degree of sensitivity. If Ms. Ruebottom‘s intention is to make contributions to improve the understanding of her chosen field. she should be sure she is doing just that and not confuse the issue between massage and the aspect of massage she has chosen to specialize in The value of the tourism industry to our region is calculable in cultural as well as socioâ€"economic terms. Visitors will carry away with them the imprint of , our Waterioo heritage richer for having experienced a little bit of "Canadiana " The dollars exchanged during the Festival will further contribute to the work of a number of our area‘s charitable and voluntary organizations. 50%, of all pro She wishes not to be misunderstood. and WALTER McLEAN Bernice V.

The other 50%, is divided among a number of community service groups according to their needs. The value of the Festival can be reckoned on a more individual level as well Most Canadians cannot afford to holiday in Europe or sun themselves in the Caribbean (despite what our misinformed Prime Minister may think! ).

Assyria. Babylon. Medes and Persians. Greece. Rome. with all their military might went down in the dust of the earth. The soâ€"called mighty of today will follow the same path. (On this Sunday. he quoted a passage from Matthew 24 that says, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel."" When Billy Graham of the same faith decided to go to the Soviet Union to preach the gospel. Falwell was the first to denounce Graham for doing so And if your memory is as clear as mine, vou will recall Falwell advocating larger expenditures for the U.S. military when Jesus said. "They will have to turn their swords into plowshares and learn of war no more.‘ Falwell also made this statement. that he would be in the rapture when it takes place and be with the Lord. In my opinion, he will do well to get one foot off mother earth. This false prophet said he was not sure if there would be a nuclear war People like him would do well to read Ps 104. 5 Ecoel 1:4 including Rev. 19; 17. 18: 20, 21. 1 Jennifer Pettigrew, R.M.T.

July Ever had reason to exclaim ‘"boy, if J had that much money I‘d live like the Queen." â€" o â€" The question begged of course, is who, being of sound mind and body, would want to live like the Queen these days? Or like Prince Phillip? Or like Prince Charles? Lady Di? Now Andrew, that‘s a different story, heh, heh there, slap my wrist‘ Or for gosh sakes, who would even want to live like blessed little William of Wales, now that his cute little mug has been publicly plastered worldâ€" wide? I mean, when the Royal Family looks up the word privacy in the dictionary, there‘s a hole cut out. We know everyâ€" thing there is to know about the Queen‘s bedroom at Buckingham palace. Who sleeps in her bed. Who doesn‘t. Who sleeps under her bed. Who would like to sleep in her bed. We had a better itinerary of the infamous Royal Wedding honeymoon than the unlucky couple chosen to celebrate it. We‘ve been to the Falkâ€" lands with Andrew. We‘ve been to the movies with his girifriend. We know when wee Willie was conceived. Grant ed. we don‘t as of yet know why ...

Take my respect RICK CAMPBELL Just off the top of my head: e ] fell asleep one afternoon on the living room couch, in plain view of the street, and drooled on the pillow. e I took my shoes off to rest the dogs (good contrast to the ultraâ€"suede sports jacket) at a boring bangquet. e I nipped outside in my jockey shorts to grab this newspaper out of my mailbox Wednesday night. e I hoofed the puck back to centre ice after an easy goal (aren‘t they all) was scored on me last Thursday. e 1 didn‘t use the tongs when J popped three buns into a bag at the grocery store. e I stuck two blueberry jams I didn‘t use from a breakfast special in my coat pocket. e I went to a press conference with a blueberry jam stain on my coat pocket. e l chugged a screwdriver at a local watering hole. e l made what might have been misinâ€" terpreted as a rightâ€"turn signal to a "worst driver of the year‘ candidate, in where else, Elmira. e 1 unscrewed the lid to sniff a new brand of aftershave in a drug store. e I was witnessed coming out of an adult novelty. shop, but claimed of course 1 was merely looking for a friend. They fit fine. thanks for asking. e I put out the garbage myself, though thankfully at the time. my hair was not up in rollers ‘ e I went to the laundromat with no socks on. e And I spent half an hour in the local variety store making sure all the adult magazines were out of children‘s reach I was not Kooâ€"ing over them, either. the threeâ€"day event which include: regisâ€" tration.. school tours, barbecues, golf tournament, wine and cheese party, dinâ€" ner dances, pancake breakfasts, rededicaâ€" tion and ecumenical services.
