This long stretch of aunahine couid soon change oui town logo. Instead of being the home of the marlgold, we couid be the sunahine capital of Canada. Songwriters would qulckly capitalize and- pen tunes about our baImy City. Songe Ilike "It neyer, raine ln aauthern Whitby" would hit the MUSIC charte with a bullet. Certaliy we deserve thîs sunahine.

Just lace the, boxlng gloves on ail councillora and let them go at It. This could be the fight of the century. If It la a good filght, maybe we cauld. make It an annual event. We couid have another Racky on our handa. Councillor Edwards, ln the role of Rocky Balboa, may lose the battie the fîrat time, but he would return ln the aequei ta change us back to town.statua.
