Committee member Bea Waples says she hopes peo- ple from Penetanguishene and Lafontaine will take part in the event which will coincide with the 10th an- niversary of the closing of the plant. When Motorola closed its doors in 1977 more than 750 people form the North Simcoe area were put out of work. Waples said she enjoyed the time she worked for the : company saying that rela- tions between manage- ment and the workers were extremely good. During the early 1970s, Motorola had 12 produc- tion lines running at the Midland plant producing radios and tape players for automobiles, but a slump in the car market, pro- mpted by the 'oil crisis', forced the plant to close. Although Motorola of- fered jobs to its employees if they were prepared to relocate, many stayed in the community while a few moved to the Toronto area to find employment said -Waples. The Motorola Reunion is going to be held at the Country Mill on Oct. 24, beginning with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. Waples hopes former managers, super- visors and employees will attend.

'former A decision made by the Arena Parks and Recrea- tion Board regarding berths at the Town Dock made two weeks ago will likely be overturned. The issue came to a head 'in late May when Ken Hisey, a charter boat First for nurse Mrs. Lorraine Murray, a Penetanguishene resident, is the first nurse to be appointed Unit Direc- tor of the First Place Fami- ly Medical Centre, a clinical teaching unit of the Department of Family Medicine in association with St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto. The former McMaster graduates ad- ministration skills and ex- perience in family medicine made her the front-runner for a job nor- mally held by a physician. operator, went to the board to ask for more space for his two boats. Mr. Hisey had reserved space in 1986 for a 40 foot boat but later purchased a 60 foot con- verted tug-boat. With the space he was alloted, Mr. Hisey had space to accommodate the Argo Naut Diver, which he owned before purchasing the tug, and an extra 58 feet. He went before the board at two meetings in June in an attempt to gain space at the front of the Town Dock which he said would ac- comodate both boats with the least disruption of other boaters using the dock. The board listened to, and since it received no other detailed proposals, accepted Mr. Hisey's pro- posal which would have seen Richard Robitaille, who has used the same berth for 20 years, and another boater, Ted Saunders move their vessels behind Mr. Hisey's. Garnet Cheney, also a charter operator, noted that no matter how the boats were arranged there would not be enough space to safely dock if all the vessels were tied to the dock. Following protests of the board's decision by both Mr. Robitaille and Mr. Saunders, Mayor Bellisle said he would be ap- proaching Don McNee, chairman of the Arena Parks and Recreation Board, with an alternative solution. That decision has not been made public. Births | The Penetanguishene General Hospital reports two births this week.

Jail term for Port resident A Port MeNicoll resident was sentenced to 11 months in jail after driving with a suspended licence. Jackie Cadeau, 24, ap- peared before Judge L.T. Montgomery in Provincial Court in Penetanguishene on Thursday facing charges which included taking a motor vehicle without consent and driv- ing while under suspens- ion. Charges against Cadeau stemmed from an incident which took place in the Port Severn region during the first week of July, 1986. Cadeau was charged at his parents' home in Port McNicoll on July 6, 1986. Witnesses for the Crown maintained that a person answering Cadeau's description had been reponsible for damaging a mail-box in the Port Severn area. Morely Wood said he heard a bang outside his house on the evening of Ju- ly 6. Wood went outside just as a vehicle was enter- ing his driveway. Under cross-examinat- ion by defence counsel Peter Deacon, Wood said he caught a glimpse of the driver but could not be sure that it was the man in court, Cadeau. However, Elizabeth "Magiar, a neighbour of Wood's said she got a good look at the driver when he got stuck in a laneway close to Wood's property. Both Magiar and Woods described the driver as having long, dark hair and wearing a beard. Under oath, Tom Cadeau described his pick-up truck which witnesses concur- red was the same vehicle Cadeau was alleged to have been driving the night of the incident. Cadeau's father said his son did not have his permission to drive the vehicle. Witnesses for the defence included Cadeau's sister Rose and her hus- band, Tom Strain of Vic- toria Harbour. Both testified that Cadeau had been at their house during the time of the incident and that he was clean-shaven. Deacon asked Judge Montgomery to accept the testimony of defence witnesses noting that their evidence was in agreement and he tried to cast doubt on evidence given by Crown witness Magiar say- ing it was too precise. During his summation Judge Montgomery said he had no difficulty accepting the Crown witnesses noting that Magiar had been a "refreshingly frank witness." "In spite of that Mr. Deacon attacked her evidence." he said The judge also called the evidence given by the defence into question say- ing it dovetailed to perfectly. "T am of the impression that the accused and his brother-in-law and sister- in-law concocted the story." "Sometimes the dif- ference in evidence is the hallmark of truth."' he said. In handing down the 11 month sentence, Judge Montgomery said he hoped Cadeau would become a contributing citizen. Tuesday, July 7, 1987, Page 3
