Local officers awarded Midland Ontario Provin- cial Police Constable Stephen Roden received a Medal of Bravery last Fri- day in Ottawa from the hands of the governor-general. The official description of how Const. Roden sav- ed a man's life appears below. "In the evening of 24 April, 1985, Constable Stephen Roden, of the Iro- quois detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, rescued an 82-year-old man trapped in the kitchen of his burning house. Con- stable Roden was on plainclothes assignment, operating an unmarked vehicle, when he noticed flames coming out of a residence. He stopped and, without hesitation, dashed into the building engulfed in flames. He found the disoriented man and dragged the resisting vic- tim outside to safety. He then re-entered the house and, forced to his knees by intense smoke and heat, crawled along the hallway in search of other possible victims. Although suffering from smoke inhalation, Constable Roden satisfied himself that the house was empty before staggering through the front door and away from the inferno." Also last week, Midland OPP Corporal W.D. (Dave) Brophey received a St. John special certificate of commendation, during an OPP award ceremony held in Barrie. The official account reads: "On May 7, 1985, while offduty, Corporal Brophey was attending a meeting of the Midland District Shrine Club." Brophy Tay loses $2,000 Despite earlier reports, Tay Township officials say the municipality has only lost just over $2,000 in a break-in last week, and not $11,000. In an telephone inter- view last week, township Administrator Brian Hopkins said, although over $6,000 worth of che- ques were taken from the township vault, all of the issuers of the notes were able to put bank stops on the cheques before they were cashed. A total of only $2,103.06 in cash was taken from the safe during the break-in. Hopkins said repairs to the building will be covered through the municipality's insurance. Although municipal of- ficials had taken a deposit to their bank on the Friday before the _ break-in, Bus shelter ads The Town of Midland has sent Pillar Ad Limited a contract for its approval. Pillar Ad Limited wants to erect two of its lighted bus stop shelters in the town. The shelters would be the responsibility of the advertising company. In addition, the town would receive $500 a year per shelter rent throughout a proposed 10 year period. Likely positions are at the public library, and on Hugel Avenue, either at Woodlawn Drive or Old If you're NEW IN TOWN and don't know which way to turn, call the Wetec Wigan, hostess'at__- You'll be glad you did. WD ee Penetanguishene Road. The town is committed to moving the bus shelter on Old Penetanguishene Road from the east side to the west side, anyway. Pillar Ad Ltd. wants its bus shelters located in spots passed by at least 500 vehicles a day. Public works committee vice-chairman Alderman Fred Pilon's opinion is that the proposal would be "a good deal' for the town. 'As entertainment, an escape artist known as The Great Santini was perform- ing an escape in which he was locked inside a water- filled, milk-can sized tank. The performer encounterd difficulties and was remov- -- ed from the apparatus in an unconscious state." "Corporal Brophey im- mediately applied artificial respiration and revived the victim." "Corporal Brophey is highly commended for his alert lifesaving actions." The ladies' guests The smilés on the faces of these people are from the fact they have just enjoyed a top notch meal served by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 68 in Penetanguishene.
