The drama began about 10:00 a.m. when Mrs. Milli- cent Hele of Highland Beach heard cries for help coming from an over-turned boat about half a mile off shore. "I wasn't sure at first what was going on,"' Mrs. Hele told the Star afterward. "But when 1 looked through the binoculars, I could see that a man was in the water and the boat over- turned." Mrs. Hele called police, but in the meantime, she and Roger Kraupa, a Port Perry teenager who was working nearby, decided to set out in Mrs. Hele's 12-foot boat. They were just a short distance off shore when the police car arrived, and Mrs. Hele decided to turn back to shore and let the police officer handle the rescue. "I'm 67 years old and didn't think I would be much help pulling the man into the boat," she said later. Mr. Kraupa and P.C.

The interim study also suggested that either Port Perry or Uxbridge Hospitals might some time in the future be converted entirely to a chronic care facility. However, the local Boards of both the Port Perry and Uxbridge Hospitals reacted strongly to these suggestions stating that the present operation and role of the hospitals should not be changed. The consultants final report will take into consi- deration the response papers issued by the various local hospital boards in Durham Region.

Police estimate that the victim, John Knoester, of Whitby, had been in the water for about half an hour, and he was considering try- ing to swim for shore. He was suffering from mild exposure due to the cold weather, but otherwise was none the worse for the ex- perience. According to police, Mr. Knoester was fishing alone in his small boat when he tried to change positions, lost his balance and fell into the cold water. A life-jacket was in the boat, but he was not wearing it at the time. The jacket floated away after the boat over-turned. Mrs. Hele had words of praise for Roger Kraupa and the police officers who took part in the rescue. "They were just wonder- ful," she told the Star. "The small bilge pump in my boat got lost during the rescue," she continued. "The police officer went downtown and bought me a new one. I thought that was very nice of him," she added.

Needless to say, Bill was "surprised" when eight of his Port Perry friends arrived at the bank in Orillia, where he is now manager, and dumped a wheelbarrow full of 12,000 nickels onto his office floor. But being the kind of good sport he is, Bill bought lunch for his visitors. Bill is seen here with a smile on his face, but it is reported that it cost him another lunch to have the nickels rolled. port perry SXO i _ Stationery & Office Surprly 235 Queen St. - Port Perry - 985-7383 See Us Today For All Your OFFICE SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS REPAIR SERVICE TO ALL MAKES & MODELS OF OFFICE MACHINERY.
