Captain Bill Harrison of the Port Perry Fire Department told the Star Monday that in- vestigators with the Fire Mar- shall's Office removed parts of the fridge and stove from the apartment on Queen Street. But as of late Monday after- noon, he said the investigators had not determined the cause. Kay Onyshak-Potrebka died of smoke inhalation in the fire which broke out in her bed- sitting apartment in the early hours of the morning December 5. Funeral services were held for her last Friday afternoon from the Wagg Funeral Home in Port Perry. : She is survived by her son, Cory of Stouffville and several brothers and sisters living in Ontario and Manitoba. Capt. Harrison said the single room bed-sitting apart- ment on the second floor above the Settlement House stores, was totally gutted in the blaze. There was smoke and wa- ter damage to other apartments in the building and some water damage to the clothing store on the main floor. Residents of nearby apart- ments were wakened by the sound of smoke detectors in the hallways. There was no detec- tor in the apartment occupied by Ms. Potrebka. : She had lived in the build- ing for the past 12 years, and one of her friends described her as a "friendly, but shy person who kept pretty much to her- self." - Meanwhile, two' residents of the building have written a letter to the editor this week praising the efforts of the Port Perry Fire Department, the Ambulance Service and the he- roic actions of those who sound- ed the alarm and attempted to rescue Ms. Potrebka (see letters page in thisissue) PORT PERRY CLINIC Ms. J.
