Penetanguishene has also purchased 50 to 54 new street lights that will stand on Main Street from above the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill. The lights, which cost $20,000, will cost as much again to install, Mayor Ron Bellisle expects. He hopes the lights will be on the street in one or two years, as soon as Christmas at K. eating House tracted 1,900 people of all ages to the site breaking last year's record of 1,100 people.

Daring snowmobiler risked life and limb This newspaper received a report on Saturday of a daring snowmobiler who crossed the thin ice from the foot of Main Street at the town dock to Champlain Road. The ice still isn't safe enough for such daring antics, The Citizen has been advised. Crime is taking a holiday in the Midland OPP's territory. Only 64 general occurrences were recorded in the seven days ending Dec. 20. But among the investigations were 14 thefts, five of which were shoplifting incidents. Three drivers were charged with being impaired, one driver's licence was suspen- ded, one narcotics-related charge was laid, and one charge was laid under the Liquor Act. A total of 31 centimetres of snow has fallen on Penetanguishene this winter compared to 181 centimetres of snow at this time last year.
