SPECIAL GUESTS

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the
grades 6/7 and 8 had some special
guests talk to us about the different
kinds of farms on which they live.
Kevin Kale talked to us about how
a dairy farm is run. Alex Weslcr-
haus told us about his broiler chic
ken operation, Willie Van Dorp
informed us on their egg hatching
farm and Wilma Heimstra taught
about their family's job as egg pro
ducers, where she handed out deli
cious egg-white cookies which she
made, to the two classes. Through
the use of pictures, charts, graphs,
and displays we learned how diffi
cult and time-consuming their jobs
are. We learned a great deal and
would like to thank them for their
excellent, informative presenta
tions.

Attending school part
of probation sentence
A Walkerton student was given
an intermittent 90-day sentence so
he could continue to attend school
after pleading guilty in Ontario
Court in Wingham Oct. 16 to
charges of theft, mischief and
drunk driving.
Joseph P. Weber will be allowed
to serve his sentence on weekends
while he continues to attend high
school. But Judge R.G.E. Hunter
made it a provision of his 12-month
probation that he must continue to
attend school on a full-time basis.
"If you quit school you'll be in
breach of probation," he told the
youth. Mr. Weber was also prohib
ited from driving for two years.
Crown Attorney Rick Lockwood
told the court that all the charges
arose out of one incident on July 4
when Mr. Weber and a young
offender went looking for Bill
Stacey about 4:30 p.m. at McGlyn
n's Sawmill. There had been bad
blood between Mr. Weber and Mr.
Stacey in the past and Mr. Weber
was looking for a fight. He didn't
find Mr. Stacey but he did find his
1977 Ford and he and the young
offender took the car. Al 10:10 that
night police saw a car travelling
with no headlights on along the
ross-Tumberry boundary road and
stopped it. Open beer was seized
from the car and, after smelling
alcohol, police made a demand for
a roadside breath test. After Mr.
Weber failed the test, he was arrest
ed and given a breathalyser test,
blowing readings of 190 and 180
mg. of alcohol in 100 ml of blood,
over the legal limit of 80 mg.
Police also discovered the car
was stolen. During the five hours
the car had been in the pair's pos
session they did damage to the car
and the personal possessions of the
owner to the tune of $1188 in
insurance costs.
The court was told Mr. Weber
had been convicted in youth court
in 1988 for drunk driving and had
two previous convictions for mis
chief. He also had a conviction in
Medicine Hal Alberta on Aug. 7,
1990 for theft.
Judge Hunter said he couldn't see
the young man making restitution
so he relied only on a jail sentence,
giving him 39 days for drunk driv
ing, 60 days for theft and a concur
rent 60 days for mischief. He will
be in jail from 6 p.m. each Friday
to 6 a.m. each Monday.
Man pleads guilty
to striking daughter
A Wingham man pleaded guilty
to common assault in Ontario Court
in Wingham Oct. 16 after admitting
striking his daughter.
Bryan Allen of Wingham
received a suspended sentence and
was placed on probation for 12
months with a condition being he
lake whatever'counseling was rec
ommended by his probation officer.
Crown Attorney Dick Lockwood
told the court Mr. Allen slapped
his 16 year old daughter several
limes about 11:15 p.m. on June 23
after an argument when his daugh
ter was considering leaving home
after a family dispute. Mr. Allen
admitted he had been drinking at
the time.
Judge R.G.E. Hunter was told
Mr. Allen was undergoing stress in
his work and had been receiving
counselling through his employer.
