No one denies this latest threeâ€"year term of municipal office, which winds up at election time in November, has been one of the most trying in the history of our city, for veteran and rookie councillors alike. A city in transition, environmental crises, philosophical differences and the like have created an uneasy, tentative air at the city, where political posturing has often taken precedence over good governing. Several members of council have openly admitted their distaste for the direction this current edition has taken, and at least one, veteran Coun. Bob Henry, has indicated he will not seek reâ€"election, in no small way due to the present atmoâ€" sphere. Perhaps this is the time for others on Waterloo council to analyse their political aspirations as well. Far from calling for a massive turnover, we simply believe those who have tired of the political process, should bow out in style and let fresh blood, and fresh ideas, come to council. It‘s a feeling, and a decision, that has to come from within. Friday and Saturday. Moses Springer arena. Doors open 9 a.m. each day. Let‘s all show our support, especially for a family that is doing more than its share for CF research. Let us shuffle down the highway for a moment this week to tip our hat to Cambridge MP Chris Speyer, who last week stunned party faithful by announcing he would not be seeking reâ€"election in the next federal election. While the decision of the affable Speyer is indeed a blow for the federal Conservatives, it is an admirable one, especially in light of the fact Speyer could have easily continued the dance down the political path. But the 47â€"yearâ€"old lawyer, who recently remarried, wants to return to living fullâ€"time in Cambridge and resume his practice. A noble, personal decision, and one we support wholeâ€"heartedly, especially after Speyer‘s thoughtâ€"provoking remarks concerning the announcement. ‘"For me," Speyer said, "public life should be an interlude, and not a lifelong pursuit." Exactly. Now, if we might borrow that statement for a moment and apply it at a different political level, some members of Waterloo council could learn from, and should follow, Speyer‘s lead. Because the sale has grown steadily in size and popularity, for the first time this year the Burnell family has been forced to move to Moses Springer arena for the Friday and Saturday sale. It is to be hoped that any loss of quaintness or intimacy will be recouped many times over in awareness and financial success, and that the indomitable spirit and commitment of the Burnells will continue for many years to come. While this weekend‘s Burnell Family Garage Sale for Cystic Fibrosis will be a veritable feast for bargain hunters and collectors, the ninth annual sale has the same goal as the modest first â€" to generate awareness of the disease and generate funds for CF research.
