Club wil help support twinning program Multiculturalism and the cultural mozaic is flourishing in Whitby's twinning program with a community in Quebec. A cummittee from the town headed for Longueuil, Quebec last Friday taking a promise for financial help for the program from an ap- parently unusual source, theMalta Social Club of Durham Region. West Ward Coun. Joe Bugelli, a member of the twinning committee, said that the club has volun- teered to hold a dance February 2 to raise money for the town's Longueuil counterpart. Bugelli said that the citizens of Longueuil are as enthusiastic about the program as ever although local governument officiais are not willing to give the. program the financial 'sup- port it needs. "lLast year they indicated there was a lot of concern because they were not get- ting enough support," he said. "But the citizen's themselves took it upon themselves to keep it alive. " Bugelli said that the committee approached several committees seeking support before getting the 0f fer of help from the Malta club. He noted that "it isn't the amount of money that coun- ts, it's the thought that people want to help. " The dance will be held at the Heydenshore Pavilion on February 2. Bugelli and Coun. Gerry Emni and other members of the committee spent the weekend in the Quebec community and are expec- ted to report back to council on the state of the twinning program soon after their return.

St. bridge Wll be rebuilt, F enneil s ays In one of his first major local promises in this elec- tion campaigu, Scott Fennel said that the Brock Street South CNR Bridge will be reconstructed as soon as the election is over. The incumbent ProgressiveConservative MP described the bridge as a "dangerous and critical overpass. " He said that he would like to raise a petition from the people of Whitby to present to Federal Transportation Minister Don Mazankowski so that work can begin. Fennell also indicated that he has been in contact with Department of Transpor- tation officials requesting that they begin negotiations to get the project underway. The bridge in question has been a point of controversy over the past few months with residents in the area protesting the structure as unsafe, especially for pedestrian traffic. Durham Region public works committee chairman, Coun. Gary Herrema of Ux- bridge recently told a public meeting of Port Whitby residents that there was no money available in the region's budget for a new bridge at the site. Whitby public works chairman Coun. Gerry Emm told the residents that the money for such a projeet will have to corne from other sources such as the province and the Canadian National Railway.
