Town Police A peaceful holiday weekend All things considered it was a quiet, peaceful, Easter holiday weekend. No car accidents, no jewellery thefts, not even the anticipated disappearance of a large number of eggs from area farms were reported to police. The remainder of the week was also fairly peaceful. On We sday, police charged one man with causing a distur! oy being drunk. Another person was charged with impa¥ed driving. ; The major incident over the past week occurred on Thursday when all three area police departments; the local detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, the Midland and Penetanguishene town police forces were involved in the high speed chase of a Burks Falls man. The Great Chase The chase began at 8:50 p.m. on Thursday when a car driven by 27-year-old Robert Wilson fled from a Penetanguishene police cruiser about to make a routine inspection. The car sideswiped another on Main Street causing an estimated $160 damage to both vehicles and then fled out of town down Highway 27. The car then turned off Highway 27 and sped down Minden Street where Midland Police took up the chase. Wilson was finally stopped when his car struck another vehicle on Highway 12. The OPP in- vestigated the Highway 12 collision. Penetanguishene Police have charged Wilson with dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. For the OPP charges, read the OPP report.

She collects old ones and makes new Recently she removed a display of old dolls from the front window at Photo Box Studios and in their place she put her marble men and women. It's a hobby, but in the case of the marble dolls, it's a business. More of Weda explains: "I took all my kids alleys after they grew out of (sic) them. What do you do? Throw them away? I don't throw them away." And she doesn't. Weda Schwauss saves every single marble she can get her hands on to make her little souvenir Penetanguishene marble dolls.

Staff photo birthday as a municipality, and quite accidently, a unique re-cycling project. It pays Weda not to throw the dolls away. People pay $1. apiece for one of her marble dolls dressed up in a variety of costumes. There's a skier doll, a tin (beg your pardon) marble soldier, a curler doll and many others. Here's how you make them. Three steps. Using a special glue you first fasten the tiny marbles (the feet and then the hands) together. The same is done to two big marbles. After a 24 hour wait you join the big marbles (the head and the body) to the little marbles. Step three is to glue on the eyes. Finally you dress the dolls making them out to be whatever you choose; a skier, a curler, a soldier... Simple, isn't it? For people like Weda who have the time and patience it's fur. and it can be profitable. Another thing which helps is a thrifty nature. Today we call it re-cycling. Marbles can easily be re-cycled and so can shampoo bottle caps. Shampoo bottle caps? Yes! Weda said she can use anyone's old shampoo bottle caps.

The business was then called the Oakley Doolittle Funeral Home, formerly R.E. Simpson and Son. Remember the names? Twenty - five years ago the centre of the community was the Georgian Hotel where the Dominion Store, King and Hugel, now stands, The police station and firehall were on the corner of King and Elizabeth at the Loblaw's parking lot. Midland has changed. Midland Harbour was full of ships, the winter fleet was preparing to leave, and every whistle and horn had to blow just right. Remember those sounds? The Coverdale was being built at the shipyard where the Indusmin Plant now is. The rivet guns hammered all night. Remember? Yes, there have been changes but "the more things change the more they seem to remain the same". People are as friendly, as understanding, and as caring. We have a fine community. Twenty - five years , one quarter of a century, two generations of service. We understand, we care. If you haven't seen what Mad Murray did to his place yet, don't worry it won't go away.
