Town police A battery but no car Mike Beauchamp of Highland Point was left holding the battery to his 1969 Pontiac Firebird in his hands after someone stole his car last Saturday night. The scenario goes something like this. Beauchamp parked his car at the town dock and removed the battery to use in his boat. When he returned around 10 p.m. from a leisurely cruise the car was gone. (@2> yalue of Beauchamp's car was estimated at $5 exclusive of the battery. A conservative estimate would put the value of the battery at between $15 and $30. At least he didn't lose everything!

That's the opinion of Lillian Brunton and her husband who claim that the reason the Penetanguishene _ plan- ning board denied a request to change the zoning of the White House property from rural to commercial marina is because, for want of a use better word, they described their proposed establishment as a hotel. After receiving a petition from Fox Street residents objecting to the use of the White House as a hotel, the planning board turned down the _ Brunton's request for a rezoning which would have allowed them to operate their weekend lodge. Actually a hotel of the Commodore or Brule variety on Main Street is the furthest thing from the Bruntons' minds. "'We used the wrong word. We should never have used the word hotel," said Mrs Brunton durin terview last Friday. Instead of a hotel Mrs. Brunton says she wants to operate a weekend lodge where 16 to 20 people » (reservations only) can come to spend a couple days to relax and enjoy good food. "If they want an afternoon tea, I'll serve it," says Mrs. Brunton who despite having left England years ago still retains an English accent and the traditional English habit of always having her afternoon tea. The prices for a weekend at the White House would have to be a little -higher than a hotel in order to attract a more exclusive clientele Mrs. Brunton indicated. "I don't want to encourage a AAPA: | crowd. That I don't want. The White House she says, "Will never be a noisy place." What the Bruntons are seeking to offer then, is an alternative to the quick serve places which rely on massive sales for a profit. Their White House lodge, if it ever is ap- proved by the town, will not be a MacDonalds hamburger factory. Neither will it be a hotel because the Brunton's have not sought a liquor license. "We're not young anymore," Mrs. Brunton said. "We want it to be a nice place where people can appreciate a home cooked meal." One of her dreams Mrs. Brunton said, "'is to serve - . ii ! ae 5 Maracle pleads guilty to possessing marijuana A 19-year-old Penetanguishene youth pleaded guilty Monday to simple possession of a narcotic, after prosecutor Douglas Haig accepted the plea and dropped the more serious charge of possession for the pur- pose of trafficking. Albert Maracle was searched by police on Main Street in Penetanguishene shortly before 11 p.m. July 25. The initial search turned up one plastic bag of a "green plant-like sub- stance" in one of his socks, and later at the station officers found two more bags and a glass vial containing what the court was told was liquid hashish. Maracle admitted to police the night of his arrest that the bags contained marijuana and signed a waiver of the requirement that the drugs be analyzed in Toronto. Presiding Judge Len Montgomery fined the youth $250., warning him that "'you are walking a very thing line between possession and_ traf- ficking." The amount in question totalled roughly 100 grams, according to prosecutor Haig. In a second drug case, 17-year-old Glen Walker, also of Penetanguishene, received a conditional discharge and six mon- ths' probation after he pleaded guilty to possession of a narcotic. Constable Thomas Tiffin pulled a car over July 19 at 1:25 a.m. on Brock Street after a routine traffic violation had been committed on Main Street. Tiffin found a bag of marijuana in a blue jean jacket. It contained about 10 grams of the drug, according to prosecutor Haig. Judge Montgomery noted the lack of any record before passing sentence, adding that "Mr. Walker got involved in something that was rather foolish." dance The excuse for a party was a chance for the 1975 centennial committee to begin discussions.on how to formulate plans for the next centennial in "2075"'. And the best way turned out to be what centennial committee chairman Doug Dubeau described as a "beautiful party" complete with Albert Blondin's recorded square dancing music and "some really nimble dancing' by one Gil Robillard. About 25 members of the town's 1975 centennial committee. attended Sunday's beach party at the Gilberts cottage at Midland Point. Beautiful weather, beautiful food, beautiful music and beautiful people added up to "'one beautiful party!" as you BUY Home Gifts You'll be amazed at the scope and variety of gifts for the home we've assembled for your selection.

If the town's planning board sees fit to overturn it's recent ruling against a commercial operation at the White House, Mrs. Brunton will be able to put to use her lifetime of experience in famous hotels. She was born in a small 21 bedroom hotel in England and _ since coming to Canada has worked in the Royal York, the King) Edward and the Hyatt Regency Hotels in Toronto.
