'"What we need most right new is a financiai cemmitment from the province te help in a transition te a new site. Se it remains troubling that our provincial partners have flot yet'committed te funding our restart at a new site. We need their financiai support. "After ail, this situation is not of our own making. If net for the province closing this on-site day care, we would have happiiy remained in partnership with the mental heaith Centre," says Rossi. The centre has aise not yet heard from Premier Mike'«Harris who proniised te look inte the matter over three weeks ago when a parent spoke with Harris on a Toronto cali-in radio programi. l1 read what Mr. Harris said in a transcript of the program. I can umderstand hew parents and staff must be distressed that the Premnier has net- apparently foiiowed up on his, piedge. After ail, he did say he supported workpiace chiid care in both geverrnment and business," Rossi says. The centre is encouraging comxnunity members, potentiai sponsors and businesses who can donate money, goods, or services, te contact the centre at 430-4038. I advertisement Busnes gomg into second.generati on The month was June and the year was 1966. Frank Giacalone' opened the doors over 30 -years ago to Fair Lady, Iocated at 116 Brook St. N. His daughter Mary started doing nails and waxing in a smaîl room at the back of the store. As time went on Mary moved out of the, littie roomn in Fair Lady and bought Nail Works Iocated at 209 Dundas St. E. She ran her business with one other nail technician in 1991. Within the Iast five years, Mary has added three more nail technicians, two estheticians, one makeup artist and a massage therapist. Her aim was to have a full service salon that was affordable al under one roof. Last month Mary took over Fair Lady/New Man, where she started 14 years ago. Mary is so excited about continuing on the famiîy tradition at 116 Brock St. N. So down came the Fair Lady/New Man sign and up went the Nail Works/Body Works sign., It aîways was my dad's dreamn that one of' his children wouîd eventualîy take over the family business and building," says Mary. "My father and I are a lot alike," Mary adds. "We-now have four ladies doing natural and artificial nails, one makeup artist who also does mn-home service, four hairstylists, three barbers, a massage therapist and two estheticians., The only thing you can't have done he.re is a shoe-shine." I have aîways wanted a place for men, womnen and chiîdren to corne in, feel' comfortable, at ease and not think they have to mortgage the house'*to have regular service throughout the year. The Giacalone name has been around Whitby for over 30 years and it's nice to see that, with a little luck and a lot of hard.work, the family tradition wilI continue for another 30 years."
