NOM 1S0 Ph. 235-0640 Pair hurt in accident Two area residents have suffered painful hand in- juries and it will be some time before they learn how successful their treatment will be. Nineteen -year-old Derrick Vandergunst, RR 2 Crediton, had his thumh torn off when he got it caught in the power takeoff shaft of a tractor he was inspecting at an auction sale in Tillsonburg on February 13. The shield on the PT() was loose and Vandergunst was unaware it was operating when his snowmobile glove became entangled. His father, Dick, who was at the sale with him, said the whole thumb was hanging on only by the skin and the bone at the wrist was visible. The' injured man was taken to Victoria Hospital and doctors staged a four- hour operation to sew the thumh hack on. His injured hand was placed in a cast, this past Monday, and it will be some time yet before it known whether the operation was successful in saving the thumb. An eight-year-old Exeter lad, David Dalrymple, suffered a finger injury, Sunday, when his hand was stepped on as some youngsters were fooling around following Sunday School at Caven Presbyterian Church. The finger had to be lanced and stitched back together and his mother, Muriel, said doctors advised them that the end of the finger may not grow as the growth plate was broken. A star member of the Exeter novice hockey team, David was hack at school on a firearm for five years - the maximum prohibition. Defence lawyer Eleanor Sehnall unsuccessfully argued Therrien fired in self-defence and shouldn't be convicted of possessing a weapon for a dangerous pur- pose. Therrien, who walks with a cane. was in her home Aug. 6 with her 14 -year-old daughter.and no telephone. Schnall said. She fired once through the door and twice outside to protect herself against a man she saw as an intruder. he argued. However. Menzies re- jected much of Therrien's testimony. She was arrested after her house was en- circled by officers, including the OPP's Tactical Rescue Unit. when neighbors com- plained of the shots. Menzies said he preferred the evidence of the man on the other side of the door. - William .felts of Mt. Brydges who testified the door was blasted and his car shot when he, tried to retrieve a bottle of whiskey. 'He said he met Therrien and another daughter in a Lucan hotel that afternoon. He testited he left the hotel with them about 5:45 p.m. and bought liquor and beer. Jells said he drank at Therrien s home until about 8:30 p m when he gave the daughter and one of her (sends a ride to a London hotel Jells said he drove back to the Therrien home to retrieve the whisky he left there. When he arrived , about 10 30 p.m. a young girl answered the door and when he asked for the whisky she said her mother was sleep- ing. Jells said he told the girl to wake her mother and leaned against the side of the house when she left. Sudden- ly '•kaboom". a shotgun blast ripped through the door! he said. Jells then got into his car, he said. Once inside the vehi- cle he heard another blast and knew the car "was hit". Jells. who didn't report the incident to police, said the passenger side and rear win- dow of the vehicle were peppered with pellet marks. Court learned that two visitors to Therrien's next- door neighbor were ordered away when they tried to park their vehicles shortly after Jells left. Therrien threatened to blow one of the visitors away if he didn't leave. Menzies said. Monday and will have his finger in a splint for about six weeks. "Hopefully everything will go well", commented his mother, who explained that it was the ring finger on the left hand that was damaged in the freak accident. David, is right-handed. Therrien testified she heard a man yelling he wanted his $20 and that he was "coming in one way or the other." Therrien, who said she has spinal arthritis, testified she was frightened for herself and her daughter when the man pounded at the door which she thought would give way. Menzies noted Therrien fired blindly without know- ing who was on the other side or where the man was standing. He rejected defence arguments that Jelfs was trying to break in. Therrien said she fired a second shot in the air outside her home after the man backed his vehicle into her house. Explosion hits Craig The usually quiet village of Ailsa Craig was rocked by explosions early Sunday morning. Constable Scott Fleming of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police said three explosions coming about one minute apart between 5:06 and 5:10 a.m. blew a manhole cover off a Main street sewer and smashed a window in the Craig Restaurant. Apparently thieves had been stealing gas from a number of trucks parked behind the Pinecrest Variety store in Ailsa Craig and left the garden hose used as a syphon running. The gas entered the sewer system and travelled two blocks west on Main street before being ignited and causing the explosions. Aiding in the investigation is David Aird of London, an inspector with the Ontario Consumer branch. No cause has bet been found for igniting of the fumes.
