Henschels
remanded
for plea
- again
Klaus and Kristin Henschel, jointly charg-
ed with 10 counts of theft over $1,000 and
nine counts of fraud over $1,000 in connec-
tion with the collapse of Brussels
Stockyards Limited, were remanded for
pleas until May 17, when they apno- ed in
Provincial Court in Wingham Api
Judge R.G.E. Hunter had set Wed,
to hear the pleas of the couple, but ,,unn
Schenk, duty council, explained he had been
contacted by Fletcher, Dawson, counsel for
Mr. Henschel, who asked on behalf of Wally
Libis, counsel for Mrs. Henschel, that the
date for, plea be put off for another month.
"What's going to happen in a month?"
Judge Hunter asked, but allowed the delay
anyway.
The couple disappeared from their
Brussels home late m October 1988, and
were later located in West Germany. An in-
vestigation was started after complaints.
from western Canadian cattle dealers that
they had not been paid for shipments of cat-
tle. Following that the licences of the
stockyard were revoked, and the company
was put into bankruptcy, leaving dozens of
local farmers owed money.
Receivers for the stockyard eventually
recovered $795,346.37 from Swiss Bank Cor-
poration (Canada) that had been in the pro-
cess of being transferred to Switzerland.
The couple has been free on a $5,000 bond
each since they surrendered to OPP in Lon-
don in December after returning to Canada.
Walton standoff brings suspended sentence
Barry Comeau, charged -with careless use
of a fire arm and possession of a prohibited
weapon in connection with a four-hour stan-
doff at a Walton house last June, received a
two-year suspended sentence in Provincial
Court in Wingham April 19.
Judge R.G.E. Hunter also put Mr. Com-
eau on probation for the two years and, in
connection with the prohibited weapons
charge (for a "butterfly knife") fined him
$100. He was ordered not to own, possessor
handle any weapons for five years.
The sentencing followed the reading of a
pre -sentence report prepared after Mr.
Comeau pled guilty March 22 in the same
court.
• Mr. Comeau had become involved in an
argument with his wife and a boarder in the
house over relations between the two. He
threatened himself and his wife with a .410
gauge shot gun that later turned out to be
empty, then, after letting them go, he refus-
ed to leave the house and threatened to kill
himself. The OPP was called in and the Tac-
tical Rescue Unit (TRU) from London was
called in. After four hours Mr. Comeau gave
himself up. A search of the house turned up
nine rifles and shot guns, two revolvers and
23 knives including the gravity -operated,
"butterfly" knife. •
The presentence report showed Mr. Com-
eau is now employed in Walton and is
separated from his wife of that time. He is
supporting three children from that mar-
riage and two children of the woman he is
currently living with. The couple is expec-
ting another child.
Mr. Comeau's lawyer said it didn't appear
anyone would gain from him being sentenc-
ed to jail. He said police had indicated in the
report they hadn't had any difficulty since
Mr. Comeau moved back to Walton several
months ago.
Alan Mill, acting Crown Attorney, said the
accused had come from a troubled
background but seemed to have his life
together at the moment. He said he wouldn't
"be wildly against" the suspended sentence
recommended by the defence.
Judge Hunter agreed, noting the pre-
sentence report showed Mr. Comeau had
had accidents in the past with guns, woun-
ding himself, and that he would be better off
without weapons in the house.
Huron receives over $1 M in road funding
A total of $1,078,800 in supplementary
funds has been announced for various
municipalities in Huron County. Jack Rid-
dell, MPP for Huron, made the announce-
ment on behalf of the Honourable Ed Fulton,
Minister of Transportation. •
"These funds represent a significant con-
Seaforth violinist
The last full day of the 41st annual
Kitchener -Waterloo Kiwanis Festival
brought forth a wave of outstanding per-
formers, including one Seaforth violinist.
Carol Ann McQuaid was awarded a
score of 93 Friday in the open concerto, 16
years and under class - the highest
reported score for stringed instrumental
soloists. The award came from ad-
judicator Henry Janzen. Carol Ann's per-
formance was characterized as "an
especially impressive effort, considering
that competitors were given extra credit
for the difficulty of their own -choice
selections".
On April 28, Carol Ann was presented
with a gift certificate and a $500 scholar-
ship to encourage her further studies of the
violin. Awards were presented at the
Waterloo Collegiate.
The Kitchener -Waterloo Kiwanis
Festival has selected Carol Ann to repre-
sent Kitchener at the Provincial Competi-
tribution to the transportation system in
Huron," Mr. Riddell said. The funds are in
addition to the grants normally given to the
county by the Ontario government.
The following projects will receive fun-
ding assistance: Ashfield Township, Bridge,
Concession 7, $130.000; Colborne Township,
sets record 93
tion in Brockville on June 1 to 5. The win-
ner of this competition is sent to Manitoba
for the Nationals, with all expenses paid.
Carol Ann is a Grade 10 student at St.
Michael's School in Stratford.
She studies with Dr. Hans Bauer
of Guelph.
Grader, $37,500; Town of Exeter, Huron,
Market & Waterloo Streets, $40,000; Town of
Goderich, Phase 2, Suncoast Drive, $40,000;
Grey Township, Grader, $55,000; Howick
Township, Bridge on Concession C, $360,000;
Hullett Township, Municipal Drains,
Londesboro & Auburn, $90,000; Morris
Township, Brown's Bridge Replacement,
$80,000; Stanley Township, Grader $75,000;
Stephen Township, Bridge Concession 4-5,
$131,300 and Turnberry Township, Bridge
Repair 4th Concession, $40,000.
"The Government of Ontario is commit-
ted to roads and highways as generators of
economic growth and as links for families
and emergency services," Mr. Riddell said.
"This additional funding reinforces that
commitment."
