I t G The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, January 11.1989 Rocky the Robot Delivers Safety Message Scribe Getting Upset with Government Interference Yelverton News by H. Malcolm The old patriarch of 1988 was recently booted out and the new cherub 1989 was welcomed into the scene if not with unbridled revelry, at least with a restrained hilarity. hilarity. The possibility of spending New Year's day in the Crowbar Motel should one become a victim of the Ride program does little to encourage New Year's Eve exuberance. More and more house parties have become the order of the day (or night) to provide less exposure exposure to the "Keep Ontario Sober program" currently in force. It would appear that governments are sticking their noses into more ana more of our citizens' private pleasure. For the nicotine addict it has become almost impossible impossible to enjoy a cigarette in ublic without climbing "ount Etna or Kilimanjaro. For the social drinker, you may drink your head oft but pu Mi do it in thé privacy of your own home or take a Taxi. For we country dwellers such an alternative is of course ridiculous. Next thing they (the Gov't) will be peeking peeking into our bedrooms and conducting a survey and re- . stricting undue activity. What Gov't doesn't restrict, middle age probably will! We were gratified to see our point of view justified to read the comments of a noted noted pychiatrist who stated the annual New Year's bash was excellent therapy for the people - to forget even for an evening their problems and day to day living stresses and start again in the New Year with a fresh impetus. Mr. Dan Gould of Moncton Moncton N.B. has been spending the past couple of weeks with nis children in this area. Nancy, Dale and Lacey Stinson Stinson were pleased to have Dan present ns one of their many guests on New Year's eve. 'mist he had an enjoyable enjoyable holiday in the area. We were pleased to see Manvers Ex-Reeve Bob Brown making excellent progress in St. Joseph's hospital hospital in Peterborough when we visited him recently. He has come a long way since being admitted, he is pro gressing well with his wheel chair through the hallways, is eating well and is speaking better daily. Ilis biggest frustration frustration is not being able to speak as fluently as he would like to. Speedy recovery recovery Bob. Miss Betty Whittaker of Hamilton and Miss Candy Malcolm of Toronto have returned returned home after spending the Christmas holidays with the Howard and Terry Malcolm's. Malcolm's. There are few of our community's community's residents who haven't enjoyed the exemplary exemplary hospitality of Eileen and Howard Malcolm and the benefits and comforts of their new hot tub this past couple of weeks. Very invigorating! invigorating! Here at Malconia we were pleased to welcome Ms. Sheena Grindley and a gal friend Shauna of Toronto Toronto this week while skiing in the Devil's Elbow Ski area. Sheena and Mona shared an apartment while attending University in Kitchener- Waterloo and enjoyed renewing renewing old acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Glas- bergen and Dwayne were New Year's eve callers with Frank's mother at her apartment apartment inWhitby.
