-~J~rono Wekly Tinies, W.dnftdây, Deoembr 4,1991 9 ) Orono Brownies hold annual enrolment On November 27, 1991 the 2nd Orono Brownies held their annual enrolment la the Orono United Church. The "Tweenies" cagerly awaited this moment. The lights were turned eut and the Brownics stood holding lighted candies. The Brownies, Natalie Miller, Rebecca Boyd, Lindsay Hawksbaw, Heather Bangay, Jennifer Cox, and Laura Cartier welcomned the parents, grandparents and sisters and brothers of the "Twcenies". The Wise Owl, Ern Muizelaar dirccted each Sixer, Yvonne Marchand, Kristen Sawyer and Juliana Speziale, to take her Tweenies through the forest of live trees te the "pond" where Tawny Owl, Wendy Williams waited for them. One by one thcy said the magic rhyme and then wcnt to stand by thle toadstool to say their Promise to From Around Home Well the cupboard is bare for this weeks column and the birdiag outing was not what it was a couple of weeks ago. After tramnping around in the forest for close to threc hours it was only a Hairy Woodpecker that aroused our curiosity. Why those birds doa't get a headache pecking away at a Black Cherry knot is more dma one can understand. But to more serious things: It was a couple of wecks ago that we received a hot tip on salary adjustxnent for the top brass at the school board. 0f course it al happened la camera but surcly was ratified la open meeting aftcrwards. So a phone call to the Public Relations departmcnt asldng about the adjustments. They knew nothing about it as it was hcld ia camera but would get back to us. Truc to their word they did but the information was net for publication and how did 1 know anyway. "Classified information", camne the rcply. Politely I was told it was a matter of Freedom of Information Act that controlled the announicement of such adjustment. .Well lets phone the Town to see what would happen there. Any, pay raise was available to thc public but not actual wages for ladividuals. The wage range would be available. Fair enough. Well that hot tip has the top administrative staff at the school board getting five percent increase along with another week of holidays,, a total of seven new.. With a salary range likely ia the $90,000 to $1 10,000 area that is somnewhcre around $5,000 and of course thc extra week of holidays are justified so that there is time to spend the $5,000. What about the poor taxpayer he will likely have to reduce holidays to meet Uic wage increase. To say Uic least Uic trustees must have been somewhat disturbed because in open meeting they set the salaries for the, incoming trustees with a "ZERO" increase. One would Uiink the trustees would be entitled to the same treatmcent as administration. We guess it is Uic way Uic world turas Brown Owl, Madeline Heard. Aftcr pmaning on their Brownie Pin and welcoming Uiem te Uic pack, their mothers put their Browmies Tic on them. After they received their Certificates and Six Emblems, and Uic candies were blown out, they were given Uic Grand Howl by Uic older Brownies. Tweenies being enrolled were: Annya Miller, Lisa Luna, Lisa Fegg, Becky Reid, Becky DeLerme, Jessica Edeleabos, Desirce Tennant, Erna Francis-Rice, Sarah Leonard, Katie ONeill.
