Page THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday July 1990 The local Marilyn lived up to her famous namesake Long retired from my judicial duties I sometimes in idle moments reflect on the funny sad painful and even delightful memories of my days as the Depu ty Sheriff for the Judicial District of Hal ton My authority my badge ID framed notice of Commissioner of Oaths signed by our esteemed Gov Pauline became invalid the day I packed in and retired Maybe the tools of the trade were turned in but I couldnt put a bag full of exciting memories on my superiors desk with instructions to take them too No sir I knew that sad day they would have to remain with me and under the oath of secrecy which I had given my first day on the job at no time would I ever be allowed to name names Ive kept my promise Perhaps I will be forgiven if I tell one little true story without reveal ing true identities The old proverb Hell hath no fury like a womans wrath might once again be proven true if she happens to read this piece so I wont use her real name I am going to tell you her name was Marilyn She looked and dress ed like Marilyn Monroe Marilyn and her husband Tom had piled up an alarming number of executions in the Sheriffs office A record Although their names were familiar to both the police depart ment and our office I had never met her face to face That was about to change quicker than I imagined Some of our officers had met her and her husband while serving them writs of summons now known as writs of summons and seizure Cancer group discussions Groups discussions have been scheduled to provide emotional support and practical guidance to patients families and friends who are living with cancer The discussion group led by nurses will be sponsofld by the Canadian Cancer Society The next meeting of the Living With Cancer Group held at the Canadian Cancer Society Milton Branch at 751 Main Street East every second Thursday will be on Aug 9 from 730 pm to pm For further information call the Cancer Society at or 8781876 SPECIAL EVERY FRIDAY RIBSTEAK DINNER INCLUDES SOUP OR SALAD ROAST POTATOES ROLL MARTYS TOO RESTAURANT Georgetown Market Place fat Stories by Steamer Emmerson Our officers reports and af fidavits often referred to them as evasive will of the wisps un cooperative At my meeting with her face to face I found her the exact opposite Marilyn and her husband had a history of accomplished con ar tists They lived the life of ex quisite hotels fine cars the best cuisine and surrounded themselves with fine furniture in their home Sheriff Sproule my boss and I had on many occasions listened to a litany of familiar stories from lawyers who had successfully sued and filed executions but could find no assets for us to seize I dont know whats done today to examine judgement debtors but my time a lawyer on behalf of a creditor who had been ripped off by people like Marilyn and Tom could make an appointment with the county court clerk to bring the debtors in to be examined under oath The country court clerks staff would set aside a day and hear the judgement Debtors were to ap pear at the court house to undergo examination by the lawyer acting on behalf of the creditor The debtor would be sworn by the clerk and under oath all was to be told about the indebtedness and what assets could be seized to raise money It was really the best and quickest way out of a quagmire of debt Few debtors took that route Especially Marilyn and Tom In order to get the deadbeat the chronic poor payers the con ar tists to keep this appointment they would be served with an official legal appointment document Good service good coverage good price- Thats State Farm insurance ROBERT TAIT K INSURANCE AGENCY ffjagftS LTD St Georgetown Like a good neighbor State Farm is there STATE FARM INSURANCE Whats Cooking at Steak Expr Saturday is Samnlf Day usually with a small sum of travel money attached to guarantee the attendance by bus rail car taxi etc Most of the ones I ever served I figured used money for cab fare to the closest beer store I think conduct money is no longer served with the appoint ment if the debtor failed to keep the at the time a certificate of nonattendance could be issued after half and hour had elapsed by the clerk of the court Marilyn and husband Tom top ped the list of They were bordering on contempt of court Sometimes the who had waited patiently and found Marilyn and Tom noshows at the time would appear in mo tions court asking for an order that the debtor appear only this time at their own expense This usually produced the same results as the first appointment If the only difference being the debtors felt aggrieved because it meant no conduct money the se cond time Finally the lawyer asking for the creditor could attend motions court asking for an order that Marilyn and Tom be thrown in the slammer by the sheriff for a few days for their contempt Well sure enough thats what happened and when we received the orders to carry out the arrest Sheriff Sproule decided he would take Tom and I was to capture Marilyn We were duty bound to suc cessfully capture and arrest both of them and take them to the com mon jail for a period of five days The strong arm of the law was about to give Marilyn a hug Goodness was I surprised to learn at that very moment Marilyn was actually in the courthouse building and headed for the cafeteria Good grief to arrest her in the cafeteria in front of the luncheon crowd of courtroom officials garb ed lawyers secretaries the odd judge oh what to do I was temporarily seized with a moment of hesitation and indeci sion but I clearly saw my duty and I intended to carry it out Her chance of escaping that em porium of tuna egg salad and plain cheese sandwiches was slim Quickly I moved in for the ar rest There was little doubt when I hit that cafeteria who Marilyn was She was a picture of beauty Over her beautiful blond hair she wore a dark blue wide brimmed picture hat The dress that covered her lithe and supple body was light blue Her were white high heels Nothing she wore was out of the catalogue It was one of those dresses that started later and finished early if you know what I mean I liked it Luck was with me as she had chosen a small table for two along the creampainted cement block wall With a quick cursory look around the room I decided not to squeeze in with those I knew and worked with but to boldly ask if I might join her for lunch If she refused I was going to ar rest her right then and there but to my surprise when I asked permis sion to join her she cheerfully agreed it off right off the bat Soon our luncheon laughter- was draw ing sly glances from the others 01 Marilyn was pretty outgo ing and nothing like the reports I had read on her She was a fun lun cheon guest and there was a couple of times when she gave me the im pression she wouldnt oppose a lit tle nose rub or a light brush on the lips with a kiss Damn that warrant in my pocket She tarried a moment or two after eating and then searched for her purse Here is a number call me Ill be pleased to hear from you Oh God how could I fulfill my duty and not shatter the makings of a beautiful friendship As we strolled towards the cafeteria exit she quietly whisphered by the way you didnt tell me who you are My voice was shaking as I whispered back Im deputy sheriff and you are under arrest This is just one of the memories in that bag that I refused to hand over the day I retired By the way Marilyn If you read this call me for lunch MIDSUMMER BLOWOUT SUNDAY DELIVERY
