During our last visit we received a $6 ticket for parking on the roadside. This was after we spent the better of 10 minutes looking for a spot in the market lot. This ticketing policy is obviously a decision from the top to increase township revenues. I say "obviously" because there has been no attempt on the part of your township to adjust the parking regulations or to provide expanded facilities (not that we have seen or heard of). iTirGriG" aiaing the Tories' "til election victory.

One such program is Katimavik. whose name means meeting plce in the Inuit language. it is a national volunteer youth service program. funded by the Secretary of State. Any Canadian citizen or landed immigrant between the ages of 17 and 21 may participate. There are usually several from Waterloo Region each year.

They must never peak through the bushes when we skinnydip and are responsible for bringing their own chip dip.

Bosses: All bosses during this economic recession are invited any time. They can cause all the purple dye they want, drink all our booze, and bring over as many friends as they want. They do not have to know Aunt Jessie's middle name, and can tell us to get lost when they want to skinnydip. 4, " others: if you are not a relative. not a friend, and not a boss, what right do you have to use this pool anyway?
