WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 211988, PAGE 3 Local relief efforts underway By Feroneh Neil and Debbie Luchuk Since the Hurrricane Gilbert disaster struck, local organiza- tions are assisting in the relief effort for Jamaica, the island na- tion hardest hit. Club Carib and the Canadian Jamaican Club are collecting non-perishable food and are pro- viding bedding. Food can be dropped off at either Happy Tots on Cartier St. àn Oshawa or at 874 Attersley Dr. in Oshawa, or at 212 Oshawa Blvd., between 5 and 10 p.m. weekdays and from noon to 10 p.m. on the weekend. A fund has been set up at all branches of Canada Trust in Dur- ham Region. Cheques can be inade out to the Red Cross Jam- aican Hurricane Relief Fund. Within Whitby, there have 'been numerous individual and corporate initiatives to assist the rlief effort. Two Anderson CVI students collected nioney from students and staff last Friday. Ryan Christie, 17, a Gr. 13 student, and Chris Oke, 17, Gr. 12, set up a booth in the main foyer at Anderson to collect what- ever the students could give. Christie heard of a "radio- a-thon" on the Toronto. radio station CFTR, and said that this inspired him to collect money from his schoolmates. Christie and Oke collected $214.61 (as of 2:10 p.m.), and hoped to have $250 by the end of the day. "I was just concerned. I saw pictures of it (the disaster) and saw how much damage was done in last night's paper," Christie said. The Urban Development Insti- tution of Durham raised money for the effort through an annual golf tournament held to raise funds for the United Way. Ron Aylsworth, secretary of the group, said that the tourn- ament raised $1,000 over and above the amount pledged to the United Way. The "surplus" money will be presented to a representative of the Canadian Jamaican Club this Friday at Consumers Gas, Wbit- by. European Women's Health Club will be holding an "aerob- athon" to raise .money for the Jamaican Relief Fund on Sunday, September 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the club on Hopkins St. (south of Hwy 2). The event is open to any woman in the community inter- ested, and sponsor sheets can be picked up at the health club. The aerobics will be high and low inpact levels, and partici- pants are asked to come a half hour before they wish to start their aerobics to register. Local businesses are donating prizes for the event. The students of Florence M. Heard public school will be col- lecting canned food, dried food, used clothes and tents for the relief effort on Friday, Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. in the Mary St.-parking lot next to the school. The food, clothing and shelter drive was initiated by Robert Pierce's Grade 6 class, and they have made arrangements for the collection and delivery of the goods to the Red Cross, according to Andrew McLeod, 11. For more information, call the school and ask for a member of the grade six class or the teacher, 668-3251. Musselman 'back home' at Henry By Debbie Luchuk For Jim Musselman, assuming the position of principal at Henry Street High School is just like coming home. Musselman was in the first graduating class of Whitby High School (now Henry) and was its first student council president. "It was just like coming home, having lived in Whitby for 30 years. I know a lot of staff and parents," Musselman says of his new job. After graduation from Whitby High, Musselman worked as for the public utilities commission and in General Motors sales for three years. When he married, Mussel- man's wife convinced him to go to university, where he received a degree to teach physical educa- tion. His first teaching post was in Port Perry, and several teaching positions followed in Durham high schools such as Anderson *CVI (head of the physical ed- ucation department, vice princ- ipal), Harwood High (vice- prin- cipal), Eastdale Collegiate and Cartwright High School (princi- pal). The principalship of Henry is a promotion for Musselman, as he has made a quantum leap from Cartwright high school, with a population of 100, to a population of 1,300 at Henry. "I like the challenge. The ad- justment has been rapid, as I haven't been out of Eastdale for very long," Musselman says. However, Musselman has no- thing but praise for students and staff of Henry Street High. "I think students are going to get the finest education possible here. The teachers are very stu- dent oriented and the students are keen and want to learn," he says. Henry's curriculum also earns praise from its principal. "The courses of study are just Pick your own tomatoes and apples at COLUNS FARM, 1km off Taunton Rd. Turn at Country Lane Golf Course.

The courses show them a bit of every- thing. "The kids are really involved in everything, and the association with student council has been great. "The staff does a lot of extra curricular yvork," he adds. Henry's athletic reputatipn is one Musselman would like to en- ha nce. "Henry is noted for its athletic teams. Being an old jock, I'm all in favor of it." For the future, Musselman says he is just going to observe how the school functions for this SEEPAGE8 FURNACE FINANCING FOR ONLY PER MONTH •Absolutely no interest *lnstallation and Taxes •2 year Service Plan ANDERSON CVI students Ryan Christie (left) and Chris Oke collected money from students and staff for Jamaican relief last Friday afternoon.
