Funky Down-Town

Out of sight!

I am telling it like it is, man! Like, it could have been a bad scene, you know. A real bummer. Like, who needs a thousand students downtown when we have Councillor Joyce Zuk?

Like, you know, man, she tells it straight...the serious Councillor who tore a strip off the back of ex-Mayor Mike Hurst when she felt that Council meetings were out of control! The Councillor who challenged her colleagues by thinking outside the box and suggesting that the Canderel space be given for doctors' offices, rent-free, since the subleasing would still cost the City a fortune. The Councillor who can sock it to them eg the "witch hunt," as she called it, at the Library. Oh wow, some real heavy stuff.

Hey man, is this the "real" Joyce Zuk that we are now seeing? Is she in the groove after getting Council to agree to spend funds for a playground in her Ward, less uptight?

First, her description of the new Bus Terminal. It was right on:

• "It's funky," said Windsor Transit board chairwoman Joyce Zuk, also a city councillor. "We can't wait to move out of the bus dump and give the city an esthetic, state-of-the art bus terminal."

Far out!

Then the ultimate....I dare not even think of it. It blows my mind:

• "I'd like to do a little dance of excitement," said Coun. Joyce Zuk. "It's exciting for council when something is going downtown other than a massage parlour."

Get it on Councillor!

Stay loose. Forget the 5 vendor Farmers' Market at the Armouries. Forget the City's Birthday bash. Forget Fireworks Night.

We can have a BE-In. Do you dig it? Seriously, can you imagine the throngs downtown if Joyce does her dance of excitement at the funky bus terminal! It would be groovy!

Peace!
