Local potter prepares for arts, crafts show by Shirley Whittington Marlene Pruesse is a local potter whose hobby absorbs her attention Right now the cupboards the untrained eye, the even when she's away 0n 'are full of mugs and tea__ pieces she calls vacation. During arecent pots, cookie jars, bowls ~ "seconds" seem to have holiday in Englehart, up in Northern Ontario, she found some _ beautiful clay. "T wanted to bring buckets of it home," she says. "But then I realized how silly that was. There's lots of good clay right here." Marlene's _ stoneware pots are made from clay from Western Canada, but she uses local clay for the glazes. With them, she produces subtle shadings of bronze, olive green and golden browns. "T can manipulate the glazes," she says. "And I write down recipes that are particularly suc- cessful. I don't think - no - I really wouldn't give away a favourite recipe for a good glaze." But she adds with a smile, "I'd probably trade a couple!" The basement studio in her waterfront home near Midland is a potter's dream equipped with a wheel, kiln, and lots of space in which to work. and other useful articles which are awaiting their final glaze before Marlene takes them to the Arts and Crafts Show at St. Paul's Church, slated for July. She'll need a lot of stoneware to take to her booth at the fair. At last year' show, she sold out completely before the show was over. She begins her work with a sketch of what she wants as the finished product and then the lump of clay is shaped and gradually built on the wheel. Some of her work is decorated with a wax resist technique. On others the surface is worked with a wooden tool, or brush decorated. The final glaze, of local clay determines the colour of the finished product. Firing is crucial, and Marlene says that even now, she has a 25 per cent failure rate, although to few faults. Many of the seconds find their way into the Pruesse kitchen where it is in daily use. Marlene says the stoneware is not fragile. Marlene waited for fifteen years before she was able to indulge her interest in potting. Five years ago she took a summer course, and then studied part time for two years at Georgian College. Now she puts in about six hours a day at her craft. She sells her work privately although some of it goes to local boutiques. She will be one of the local craftspeople represented at Midland's Arts and Crafts Show, but if you want to see her work, you'd better get there early.

Staff photo YMCA offers day camp Our day camp programs offer great variety and interest for area children. A whole new look was given to the Midland Y's Men's Summer Program by breaking up the age groups and offering them each a specific type of program of activities. There are many resident camps in the area but not all families are capable of sending their children. Our program will hopefully satisfy their needs and allow these youngsters to participate in some type of program through the summer months. First, a brief description of our three programs offered during the months of July and A special treat Happy Cooker The North Atlantic Seafood Association is at it again - assuring us that fish is not only a fun food, but it is also a great barbecue item. This is an undisputable fact for two reasons. First, fish was barbecued successfully for some centuries before the advent of the microwave oven. Second - fish is a heck of a lot cheaper than steak. So - be the first on your block to send the delicate scent of Barbecued Haddock fillets over the backyard fence. Before you start, remember that fish takes very little cooking so all types and cuts of frozen fish should be thawed to refrigerator tem- perature before barbecuing. Fish has a distressing tendency to go to pieces on a barbecue grill, but you can thwart this by using a medium or fine hinged wire grill or by making a chicken wire envelope and placing the fish inside it. Be sure to oil the grill and the fish thoroughly. August. Baste with plain butter or garlic butter.

Police have now told us the driver was not Gordon Bressette of Hannah Street in Midland but instead, Patrick Duval of Victoria Harbour. Duval is the owner of the vehicle but had told the police he was not driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. Duval has been charged with failing to report an accident.
