Ripley man is safe after boat
overturns in rough waters
A 36 -year-old Ripley man is safe
and sound after his boat overturned
and sank in rough waters last Fri-
day afternoon.
The man had been about a half -
kilometre out from shore when his
14 foot fibre glass boat was over-
turned around 3 p,m.
A witness who saw the incident
through binoculars called the OPP
and said the lone occupant of the
boat couldn't be seen.
Both OPP and town police
officers responded and the Russel T
was called out.
While searching, a woman arrived
at the north pier and spoke to OPP
Staff Sergeant Al Neville. She
thought the boater may have been
her husband.
Staff Sergeant Neville said he was
going to take the woman to Rotary
Park where they planned to see if
her husband's car and boat trailer
were still there.
As they were about to leave, her
husband, the missing boater, got out
of a car.
Staff Sergeant Neville said the
man, wearing a wet suit and a life
jacket, had swam to the beach
where someone gave him a ride to
the north pier.
"It's a good example of
overstretching the capabilities of
your boat and your (abilities],"
Staff Sergeant Neville said.
He said it may have looked like
fun to go out in the high waves but
it was too dangerous for such a
small boat.
About $930 worth of fishing
equipment was stolen from a boat
at Silver Lake in Kinloss Township,
on Aug. 17. The boat had been left
overnight when two tackle boxes
and other assorted equipment were
removed.
A riding lawn mower worth about
$1,600 was reported stolen from a
Tiverton residence after being left
parked in a driveway between Aug.
13 and Aug. 15. The mower was a
16 horse power white and black
Turf Master.
A 35 -year-old West Wawanosh
Township man has been charged
with threatening bodily harm and
assault after an incident at a
Lucknow restaurant on Aug. 20.
The man, the estranged husband
of an employee at the restaurant,
had caused a disturbance at 6:15
p.m. and uttered threats.
In addition, he hadpushed a
patron of the restaurant and tried to
start a fight.
When the OPP were called, the
man left but was later arrested at
his home where he continued to
make threats.
