Incredible showman comes to Port Perry The incredible Mike Mandel comes to Port Perry this Saturday evening for one performance, and you won't want to miss it. Mike Mandel is a mentalist-hypnotist and most of his show is taken up with demonstrations of "mind- power" and his two-hour show keeps the audience sit- ting on the edge of their seats. In a recent performance in Kitchener, Mandel sug- gested to a young College student that she had just won the Miss Universe Title. In her excitement, (thinking she really had won a contest), she jumped onto the stage with Mandel, wrapped her arms and legs around him knocking him to the stage. The result was a sprained neck for Mandel before the girl found out that she really wasn't Miss Universe. The Incredible World of Mike Mandel is a show that is entertaining for all ages if you like comedy and are intrigued by ESP. This is the second time in a year that the Ringette Association of Port Perry has sponsored Mike Mandel -and they are hoping for an even larger turnout than last fall. : The cost for tickets is $8.00 adults and $6.00 for children under 12 is worth every cent, and if being able to afford the tickets means eating Kraft Dinner for a couple of nights ..... do it!

On Friday evening and on Satur- day, traffic along the highway in front of the Port Perry Plaza was funnelled into one lane east and west by the off-duty OPP officer hired by the Plaza merchants to direct cars and trucks in and out of the busy shopping centre. Whether this reduction to one lane slowed traffic is not known, but the busier than normal flows on the long weekend were at times stop and go as far west as the Brewers Retail Store and as far east as the intersec- tion with the Scugog Island Road. The decision to funnel the traffic using pylons into single lanes at the plaza entrance was made by the OPP officer to reduce the chance of an accident and also for his own safety as he directed traffic from the middle of the highway. Caesarea resident killed A 20 year old Caesarea man was . killed in a tragic accident on Highway 7A, east of Port Perry, Oc- tober 5. Paul Andrew McDowell, of Sum- mit Drive, was pronounced dead at Port Perry's Community Memorial Hospital, shortly after the accident at 4:09 p.m. Newcastle Ontario Provincial Police say Mr. McDowell was travelling east on a 1986 Yamaha 'motorcycle near the West Y; Line, when he collided head-on with a 1976 Chevrolet. The car was driven by Gordon Gettins, 51, also of Caesarea. Mr. Gettins was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries, police say. Both the car and the bike were complete write-offs.
