Staff photo Man convicted of assault Leonard Vivian, age 23, of +222 Queen Street, Midlarid® was convicted of assault causing bodily harm in Midland court on Monday, and fined $300 by presiding judge A.B. Montgomery. Midland police originally charged Vivian with causing bodily harm with intent to injure, following an incident on February 10 at the place of his residence. Complainant Gerald Robitaille, presently residing at 7th Street, Midland, was a tenant at 222 Queen Street at the time of the incident. He testified in court that he had been harassed.by;,the defendant | for the three months he-had been living in! the building. On February 10, he ap- proached Vivian to talk to him about the harassment and a heated argument ensued, he told the court. The two. men. came together, he said, and during the scuffle he. was cut by a knife in the back of the leg. The defendant came at him with a shovel, but when Robitaille grabbed a chrome shower bar, he backed off, the complainant told the court. According to his own testimony and that of in- Forest Harbour news by Bill Turnbull r 538-2363 Bert LeMarguand of Waubaushene had to travel to Toronto April 3 for a check-up at the Toronto General Hospital. John Sparks and his wife June of Forest Harbour decided to drive down with him, and the excursion turned into a three-day event. As hun- dreds of others, they were stranded by the freak April blizzard that blocked all the highways. While in Toronto, John, June and Bert stayed with Sam and Elva MacFarlane of Victoria Harbour who also . own a home there. By the way, Bert had thought he needed to have an operation, but the doctor says no -- not for the time being anyway.

Coldwater The Coldwater Memorial Library board meeting was held on Aprril 8 with all board members present. Mrs. Pat Clarke in- troduced and welcomed Mr. Mackenzie of the Georgian iy Gey Regional Library ystem. ™, The minutes and treasurer's report were read by Linda Hass. The cir- culation report for March was presented by the Baa rd librarian Mona Beach, as follows; Fiction-412, Juvenile, 243, and non-fiction 75, total of 730; and one film. Mr. Mackenzie's visit was prompted by the installation of new shelving, and he gave the members some suggestions on the re- organizing of the books, The most widely used system by. libraries is the Dewey System.This was explained in detail by Mr. Mackenzie. vestigating officer constable 'John Charlebois, Robitaille was taken to the hospital by ambulance and took nine stitches in his leg. Robitaille and brother-in- law Randy Toole, who was witness to the incident, claimed that the defendant had wielded a knife during the altercation, although the latter did not actually see the knife cut Robitaille. Defense witness Mrs. Leona Vivian told the court that at no time did she see her husband with a knife. Defense attorney John Gammell stressed that the matter hinged on a question of credibility, whether the complainant was wounded by a knife or not. Evidence for the prosecution and the defense are in conflict about the presence of a knife, he pointed out. In this case, Gammell felt the benefit of the doubt should go to the accused. Vivian admitted that he had hit Robitaille with the shovel, but only in self- defense. The court might feel that the force used was greater than was necessary, Gammell said, but "the intention of the force was not to wound." Crown attorney Thompson stressed that a dangerous weapon had been used, and its use went far beyond the defendant's own protection. Presiding Judge Mon- tgomery pointed out that the evidence with the knife "seems vague". Witnesses for the prosecution did not seem to know where the knife came from, when the complainant was cut, nor where it was disposed of, he noted. And defense witnesses claim there was no knife in use. Montgomery said he was convinced that the cut could have been made by the shovel, which was used with more force than was necessary. However, he said that the evidence was not sufficient for a conviction on the original charge, but a con- viction would be registered for assault causing bodily harm. The accused had no previous conviction of a related offence involving violence, and there was no reason to think that Vivian was not of good character. Vivian was fined $300 on the assault charge. Happy Cooker Save food, fuel in kitchen by Shirley Whittington Someone said once that the North American housewife is the shrewdest pruchasing agent in the world. Still, you need more than a good purchasing agent to run an efficient operation. You need a good plant manager. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food passes along these tips to help you run your kitchen more efficiently. You'll save food, food values and fuel - and you'll also save money. Save food by preparing just enough to satisfy family appetites. Dribs and drabs of leftovers just ossify in the back of the refrigerator, and are eventually thrown out. Planned leftovers should be stored carefully, and used within a few days. Or you can' freeze them, to await some brilliant culinary whim. Save bacon fat in covered jars in the refrigerator. Use fat and flavouring in sauces, casseroles, or for frying. Freeze bones from roasts or poultry, scraps of meat and liquid from cooked vegetables until there is enough to make a glorious pot of soup. Dry stale slices of bread'in avery slow oven and roll into crumbs for breading or casserole toppings. (A blender makes beautiful crumbs.) Save food values by ser- ving raw fruits and vegetables, or by cooking vegetables in small amounts of water until crispy-tender. Keep vitamin C foods and juices cool and covered. When practical, cook vegetables with the skin on. Save fuel by lowering stove top heat when boiling point is reached, or by cooking a vegetable in the bottom section of a double boiler when the top is used to cook something else. Plan meals so that the oven is used for more than one item. Now, if you're wondering what to do with all those little packages of hamburger that you stuffed in the freezer when it was on sale, here are a couple of ideas. These pizza burgers came to me via a good friend in Coldwater. They were an enormous success with our family who licked the platter clean and demanded seconds. 1 pound ground beef % tin tomato sauce (72 Ox.) oregeno, basil, pepper to taste 1 egg l% cup cracker crumbs, or those recycled slices of stale bread you've been saving. Mix all the above ingredients, and pack into a nine-inch pie plate. Cover the top with slices of green pepper and pour the other salt and half of the tin of tomato sauce over top. Purists sprinkle parmesan cheese over this. I didn't have any, so used about % cup shredded cheddar, and it worked well. Bake this at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes, and prepare yourself for a delicious aroma. When it's baked, tilt the pie plate to drain any extra fat off. I used lean hamburg, and there wasn't any fat to speak of. For some reason or other, the following items are called porcupines. I don't know why. They are quite agreeable, and not prickly. Mix all this in a big bowl; except the soup and water: 1 pound ground beef ¥, cup diced onion 2 tablespoons diced green pepper 1 tsp. salt, a sprinkle of pepper, and 1 tsp. paprika 44 cup uncooked long grain rice 1-10 ounce can of tomato soup 1 soup can of hot water. When this is all nicely integrated, get your Little Kid to shape it into 8 or 10 little balls. Make sure he washes his hands first. Put the meat balls in a heavy saucepan, add the soup and hot water. Cover closely, and simmer for about 45 minutes. This makes four to five tasty, unprickly servings. Irvine discusses Tay order, OHRP grants at PC meet Donald Irvine, the Ontario Minister of Housing was the man in the hot seat at a dinner held last Tuesday, April 8, at the Odd Fellows Hall on Dominion Avenue in Midland. He was there at the invitation of the Midland and District Progressive Con- servative Association. His topic was primarily the ministerial zoning order which he had placed on Tay Township. He prefaced his remarks after the roast beef dinner with some comments on the provisions of the provincial budget which had just been brought down. He defended it from the attacks of some of the Liberals and New Democrats and said that it was indeed designed to provide a very needed shot in the arm to the economy of the province. In discussing the zoning order on Tay he told the approximately 100 that his goal in imposing the order was not to. stop all development but merely to ensure that any future development should be or- derly and in accordance with good planning. He said that the alternatives to careful zoning were disorganized and poorly planned developments with little or no adequate services or utilities. He said that the number of severances granted by the Tay Township Council in recent years was far too high. In response to a question during the question period afterwards he said that the zoning order did not preclude all new construction. Rather he said, it merely ensured the province's approval on new construction. If the building contemplated is judged by the Ministry to be acceptable he said there was no reason why we shouldn't have construction this year. Some of the questions posed to Irvine centered on the Ontario Home Renewal Program, a Provincially- funded system of loans and grants administered through the municipalities. It provides for the repair of homes to bring them up to acceptable standards under the Municipal by-laws. One member of the audience was concerned to find out how he could get assistance under the plan if his municipality was not prepared to take part in the program. The gentleman, a resident of Victoria Harbour, complained that when he had asked at the village office whether he could take part in this plan he was told that there was too much paperwork involved and that, accordingly, the village was not going to take part in the program. Irvine said that there was no way for an individual home owner to take part in the program and that it was necessary to go through the municipality. He added that the municipality receives $150 per successful applicant to administer the program. One topic discussed concerned the provincial government's new proposed grant of $1500 to first-time home owners. Irvine said this would dome in three installments: the first $1,000 would be paid as soon as possible and the rest would come in two $250 in- stallments over the next two years. Irvine, Smith in Midland. Donald Irvine, Ontario Minister of Housing was the guest speaker at a dinner held last Tuesday, April 8. He is shown above with Gord Smith, right, MPP for Simcoe East. Irvine was in Midland to defend his ministerial zoning order on Tay Township, and to address the annual meeting of the Midland and District Progressive Conservative Association. Overcome fatigue, tension Yoga for the over-40 crowd by Elaine Kraftscik "You are as young as your spine is strong". This is the second in a three part series of exercises for those over forty who feel the need to overcome fatique, get rid of tension and strengthen the body. The summer season is coming upon us (hopefully), with golf, swimming, and plenty of walking to rejuvenate heart muscles that may have grown lazy over the long winter months. Legs and feet will be in season and must be prepared to take over their duties without unnecessary strain. A very good leaflet that may be obtained free of charge at the Public Health Centre called "The Care of the Feet," delves into the care, exercise and function of the feet. Try to keep your feet up a Elayne Kraftscik while sitting, especially if varicose veins tend to bother you. Don't cross the ankles and learn to exercise the toes and feet by bending, turning, stretching and gently pulling the feet toward you. Proper circulation can be kept in the legs by walking but remember that rest is as important as the exercise itself. After a good work or even after the ups and downs of a busy day, lie down for fiteen minutes with pillows under the feet instead of the head. The sit-up which I am about to describe will strengthen and firm the spine which takes a lot of strain in many of our summer sports. Technique: Lie o vour back with knees bent, »wly raise the head and shoulders off the floor, your hands should be beside the highs. Hold for ten seconds and release. Try again as soon as you feel rested. For a basic routine af exercises and suggestions please write in care of the Times and I will be glad to send them out. Wednesday, April 16, 1975, Page 21 SANE Dy
