PAGR 20. WMTBY FREE PRESS. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 18. 1989 oo Nipwç? C all Tnrna Miller The Brooklin Library Children's Club is calling all budding Sherlocks to attend the Saturday morning club. The theme this time is "Detectives." On Jan. 21, there will be 'Mystery Movies' - an hour of suspenseful entertainment that will keep the children guessing and using their deductive powers. On Jan. 28, children come dressed as their favorite detective and bring along some disguises to help solve some mysteries. This is a great way to introduce youngsters to the writings of some great authors. Did you know that Milne, of 'Winnie the Pooh" fame, wrote a mystery novel? Look for it on the mystery shelves, it makes a good read. I discovered the single Ruth Rendell novel that I hadn't read on these sae shelves, and promptly becaxne a library member sa, I could borrow it. The title? "The Speaker of Mandarin.'

Guest speaker will be James F'rench, past president of the Canadian WilflwerSocety. M First in a series BROOKLIN BUSINESS WOMEN: Linda Pegutter and her Mane Street Salon Linda Pegutter's Mane Street Salon is housed in a grey-blue, wooden edifice of country design. The interior decor amplifies this theme, lending a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects Pegutter's personality. It is in this bastion of good taste and charm that she plies her creative profession. Pegutter's professional acumen belies her 24 years. She is a member of that exclusive club who instinctively know their destined path and allow no thing to deter their footsteps from it. She is a defier of fate. Not even those fates that decreed a Friday the 13th would be the day she closed the business deal, or an April Fool's Day her opening, could deter her. "I always wanted to be a hairdresser," she says with a smile. "I toyed with the idea of becoming an accountant for a while, but hairdressing was my true vocation." She leans back in her chair for a few stolen moments of relaxtion between clients. "Now I have the chance to do both jobs. I do my own books up to trial balance and taxes, I employ an accountant to do the year-end and tax returns. It works out well, my accountant doesn't do hair and I don't do taxes." A Whitby native, Pegutter trained at the Oshawa Career School of Hairdressing and worked for more than a year in a Whitby salon. She found that she objected to the assembly-line type of business practiced there. She was working in a Brooklin salon when this business came up for sale. "I was hesitant at first, it's a big step to taken when you're only 22." But, at the urging of friends and relatives, she took the plunge and bought the salon she named Mane Street. "I really LINDA PEGUTTER at work in her Mane Street Salon in Brooklin. Free Press photo liked the people here and Brooklin itself. I wanted to establish a business that catered to them and their lifestyles. I was grateful that my clients followed me here and helped me fulfill that dream." Her drean was expanded to the point that she employs both full and part-time help. Pegutter supports the community, too. Last year sbe sponsored a men's slo-pitch team which won their division championship. She donates prizes to dances and local events. So, what's next? "Next year I'm getting married." she says, her blue eyes flashing from dramatically khol-rimmed eyes. "We want to start a family." She's no slouch as an artist, either. She designed her own business cards, even to the rendering of the building, and she demonstrates a firm grasp of architectural design and perspective in these cards. Her own long tresses have been permed in a spiral perm. "This perm is perfect for long hair," she says, pulling her curled tresses forward for a better look. "This perm has lasted for nearly a year. Most perms need to be re-done after four or five months. This is really the best perm for long hair out today." She lets her hair fall back into place and says with a satisfied smile, "So far, we have the best price on this perm in the area." She doesn't do make-up or manicures. She just wants to stay with the hairdressing and haircutting for men, women and children. "I want my customer to have the best hairstyle they can get. After all, I don't want my friends walking around with bad styles. You don't do that to friends," she emphatically states. A young mother and her two small children enter. Pegutter and she chat while going to the shampoo basin, and the children play happily around the chairs. Everybody is right a home. Meeting about expansion A public meeting was held last week for a rezoning application to allow the proposed expansion of Brooklin Concrete Products Ltd. The aplication for industrial use, by McCoy Holdings Ltd., is for 17.6 acres of land now zoned residential and used for agricul- ture. Only one comment was made about the application, by Lorne Crawford ofMRR1 Brooklin who complained that some products of the existing operation are stored "right next to my pro- perty." McCoy Holdings owns the pro- perty in the application in addi- tion to the property now occupied by Brooklin Concrete. Region won't spray for gypsy moths Durham Region will not spray for gypsy moths in 1989. Works committee heard from two representatives of the Minis- try of Natural Resources that spraying would not be required. in 1989. Last year, regional council had been informed that the gypsy moth, which eats leaves of trees and can cause extensive damage, was advancing east. and would inevitably migrate into Oshawa and Whitby. "There is a lot of paranoia over what this bug can do but (the moth's population) is not as seri- ous as we first thought in the early 1980s," Bob Penwell told committee Tuesday. The moth entered Ontario in Dialysis program PROM PAGE 4 ment. Peters expects that the pro- gram will cost $2 million to $3 million, and that the ministry will fund most of the program. Oshawa General's study on the program will be submitted to the Durham health council in the next few weeks. From there, the council hopes to submit a pro- osal ta the Ministry of Health yoAv- l, 'r, 1981 from the eastern United States. In 1985 the moth num- bered 250,000 but sharply declined to 13,000 in 1987. Penwell said this was due to a number of circumstances such as an increase in predators (wasps and flys) a virus that kills the moth and Canada's harsh winter. "We don't see a real problem in Durham Region," said Penwell. He told committee that the moth population will increase during the next three years, but the Ministry is learning to handle the moth. He said the spray does not affect the moth but simply helps to save the trees. He indicated that while the moths can eat a lot of leaves, the trees are usually able to recover the following year. Committee members agreed with Penwell but decided to draft an agreement with the ministry for possible spraying of areas in the Region in the event the moth does cause serious problems in 1990.
