B - Omn.W..kly................ebru.t......0 Much too see at Historical Society display The Newcastle Village and 1920 to 1960 at the 'mini Village, on January 27 and 28. District Historic.al Society held a museum' at the Newcastle Here Mabel Goode poses with display of Games and Toys from Community Hall in Newcastle some of the items on display. Every once in a while in a lifetime one may.reach a pinnacle of notoriety. If you should ask me if it ever happened to me I would likely say: Indeed it did, forty years ago. Whether or not I should be proud of it is something else but a recent incident sent memory back the forty years. Picnicing at Serpent Mounds at Rice Lake with the Carmans one of the activities of the day was water skiing at least for Bill and 1. An old cedar strip boat with an eighteen horse outboard motor had just enough power te get one at a time up for some slow skilng. When one of us was tired of being yanked around through the waves we would change places out in the lake. When enough was enough we beached the boat and immediately was asked by a well-dressed gentleman "who is the owner of the boat?" After exchanging identifica- tions we were aware our well- dressed gentleman was an RCMP officer who brought to our attention that waterskiing requir- ed a third party in the boat as an observer. Three weeks later summons were delivered by uniformed officers to both the operators at Rolphs and the Orono Times, - fines of $28.00 and a stiff warning. It was sometime latter that I read in the Toronto Star that two men had been charged in western Ontario for water skiing not meeting the requirement of a third party in thre boat. T'Me article also stated that it was the first such charge laid under the new law in Ontario. Bill and I really had this honour ahl wrapped up but lost out in gaining the notoriety we had paid for. Does it happen more than once la a lifetime - perhaps. Certainly I wont be thre first in Ontario to receive a speeding summons through the art of photography. Perhaps it could be the first in Orono, and if not, surely thre first living on Mill lae se.«rrvere for ttement of Photo Radar Syslem Opertor lTii Prosecuor wll preseoi the original photograph t trial Veuillez consulter l eu pour la déclaraion de l'opérateur ou l'opératrice du systèmedrar Ias shown ini the photographic equivaient (or photogruph> appondod, contrary t0S12 n pursuant 10 5s.207 of the Highway Traffic Act.L flOICE WITHIN 15 DAYS 0F THIE DATE 0F DEEMED SERVICE SHOWN ABOVE, CHOOSE EITHER OPTION 1 - TRIAL OPTION (SEE BACK), OPTION 2 -TO PLEAO GUILTY WITH AN EXPLANATION (SEE BACK>, OR OPTION 3 - PLEA OF GUILTV (SEE BELOW).

It is not the degree of notoriety of the water skiing caper but being forty years later who wants it. Indeed 1 have slowed down and it does feel more com- fortable and 1 would have to say safer. Just looking for another pinnacle of notoriety.
