Corridor Capers By MARY MCEACHERN Call 725-8967 wlth Items for this column 18TH AND 38TH BROWNIES The season has come to an end for the 18th and 38th Oshawa Brownies. On Monday, June 3, the 38th wound up for the year. The meeting was particularily significant for Mandy Andreassen and Rachel Knegji, who went on to Guides. Mira Buchanan, Tara Keoghan, Yvette Parker, Robyn Thompson and Jennifer Thrip have completed all the Brownie programs and they 'flew' up. They were each welcomed by a guider who then took them to Guider Jean Senko. The families of these girls were invited to the ceremonies and entertainment was provided by Jenny Hurley and Laura Dooley, who put on a play. Refreshments were provided by some Brownies and were served by selected Brownies and Guides. After the refreshments, all got a chance to try to break a 'pinata', made by Mira Buchanan. The ceremony was repeated on Tuesday, June 4 for the 18th Brownies Pack. The Brownies who 'flew up' were Juanita Baker, Louise Bowden, Kathleen Huculak and Katie Muir. They were met by Jean Senko, Guider 18th Oshawa Company and Georgie Tkazeuk, Guider 29th Oshawa Company. A special guest of the evening was Jo Bilodeau, the District Commissioner and families of the 'flying up' girls. Refreshments were prepared and served by the girls. DECOM MEDICAL WASTE TRANSFER STATION Whitby residents were less than enthusiastic about the possibility of Decom building a medical Waste Transfer Station in Whitby. I think Coun. Joe Drumm was right on when he said Decom was less than honest and was not telling all. Whitby has really been attracting its share of tourists, more than 2,000 people visited our information centre last year. This means more summer jobs and a boost for local merchants. One has to wonder if the bio-hazard transfer waste station that Decom has proposed, is such a good idea. One major spill could severely damage our tourist industry. With nine truck loads of waste per day coming in- to Whitby and 14 tractor trailer loads per week leaving the town, the possibility of spills increases. Decom has made a lot of promises, but there are absolutely no guarantees. Everyone in Whitby should give a lot of careful thought to this issue. DR.

C EN E RSTWTB I L - - LIMIT ONE COUPON PER CUSTOMER - II Windsor residents collect $403 for the Barrie The 110 or so residents of Windsor Place raised $403 for the Barrie Tor- nado Relief Fund from amongest themselves last week. According to Audri Tutton and Inez Maun- drell, co-chairman of the tenants' committee at the Colbourne St. W. senior citizens complex, the seven member committee simply went door-to-door in their building asking people to give what they could. And the result was $403. "We just asked people to give what they Tornado Fund could," Tutton said ad- ding that one of her neighbours has a daughter who lost her house during the storm that occured almost two weeks ago. Maundrell added that it took the committee almost two days to can- vass the building's 104 apartments. A few people were away when the drive was held otherwise the total would have been higher. Tutton said commit- tee raised the money simply because they wanted to help. "We figure that even though we're seniors, we could help too," Tutton said. At Monday night's meeting of Whitby Town Council, Mayor Bob At- tersley announced that senior staff would be making a recommen- dation concerning the town's part in the relief effort. Attersley told council that the Red Cross already has enough food and clothing to aid those displaced during the storm so any assistance the town can give will probably be monetary.
