Riding the Wake
WhiStle Notes
By Jim Priebe
Be sure to drop by the WhiStle Radio booth at the Strawberry Festival Saturday July 4, to meet our volunteers and learn more about our community station.
Taking Care of Business
by Bruce Stapley
Ron Schell knew he had made the right move tying his Schell Lumber building centre operation in with the Home Building Centre group of stores when he walked into the Home Building Centre’s head office. “I saw that the green chair used by the CEO had a big rip in it. We can […]
Rear-view Mirror
By Maurice Smith
You don’t have to drive far in Whitchurch-Stouffville to come across any number of unique building structures, most constructed many years ago.
Doggone boating
What is smaller than a bread box and can paddle faster than a pedal boat? Sparky the puppy monster and destroyer of almost everything.
The Cat’s Meow
We have a dog and two cats, all of whom came from our daughter, the veterinarian. The dog is a sweet and loveable beagle named Sophie Clueless, whom I have told you about in the past, and the cats are Phoebe, a Himalayan, and Oscar, a black and white of uncertain lineage.
Party in the Park
Town staff will host a community party in Memorial Park July 25 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The annual event began as a celebration of Drowning Prevention Day, and has grown into an event for all ages, with activities sponsored by Leisure Services, Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum, the Library and Latcham Gallery. In case of rain, activities will […]
On The Run
At some point in their lives, one in four Canadians will hear the words “You have cancer.” In 2008 alone, there were an estimated 159,900 new cases diagnosed in Canada and over 70,000 people died, according to Dr. Bob Bell, President and CEO, University Health Network.
Summer movies on the Park
Two Canadian movies will be shown at the Lebovic Centre for Arts & Entertainment-Nineteen on the Park July 2 as part of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit.
Shedding light on a new way of life
By Luke Anderson
I really didn’t know the true meaning of humility until just recently.
Library embraces new technology
By Carolyn Nordheimer James
The Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library has experienced many changes in its 110 year history.
Crosswalk urgently needed on Main Street
To the Editor:
Re: Your May Editorial, Mixed Signals, I don’t think that you are pushing a pro-pedestrian platform when you advocate for crosswalks. I rarely take the GO train but when I do, I curse the absence of a crosswalk near the station. Cars and passengers alike race around near the tracks as the train disgorges its passengers and everyone […]
A memorable visit
To the Editor:
Recently we had the pleasure of returning to Stouffville for a visit from Vernon, British Columbia. It had been 19 years since we left our lovely home, town and our many friends and neighbours.
It was great fun to wander the streets of old historical homes and buildings. We were pleased to see many […]
Letter from Abu Dhabi
School is out and my family and I are preparing to join the expat exodus from Abu Dhabi. As the temperatures soar to the low 40s, the expats leave. Many go to their home country to escape the heat, see family and friends and return to their own version of normal.
Festival Fun for all the Family
Old favourites and new events will make the 25th annual Strawberry Festival bigger and better than ever.
