Canadian Thaksgiving
Monday marks the annual celebration of Christopher Columbus's landing in the New World which took place on October 12, but is celebrated on the second Monday of October. Although other non-idigenous people probably arrived on this contonent before Columbus, it was his publicizing of the event that led to the population movement to the New World. It is also Canadian Thanksgiving day which gives our neighbors a day to reflect on their blessings. Obituary of the

Dear Peggy Jo, I am a faithful reader of your newsletter and I know that from time to time you take up some causes. I wonder how many of your readers have noticed a new sign I spotted at a popular Royal Oak restaurant. The valet parking company has a sign that says " Valet Parking $5.00" which is not unreasonable, given the lack of adequate parking in downtown Royal Oak, and I have used this service in the past. They do collect up front so I never paid anything when leaving. Recently, another smaller sign is displayed stating that the "attendants work for gratuities only". If this is true then I believe the valet parking company is exploiting the attendants Who gets the $5.00? . If the claim is false then I believe the attendants are exploiting the the patrons. What do your readers think? R.L. Dear R.L., Thanks for your question. Peggy Jo. To all readers: What do you think about this situation?
