RICHARD DUNSTAN Examiner Staff Reporter When Bill Naber moved to Canada last year from his native United States one of the first differences he noticed was in store hours In the states Mr Naber says he and his family did 90 per cent of their shopping on Sun day and he finds it highly in convenient that stores here are closed Sunday just have to sit around and do nothing because nothings open he says Mr Naber is one of an im pressive number of Americans who have helped reverse the traditional immigration trend by moving north to Canada The Examiner interviewed several Americans who have come to Barrie in recent mon ths to see why they came and how they like it here It was family reasons which prompted Mr Naber native of South Dakota to move to Canada after retiring from career in the US

socialized he says just dont agree with that 100 per cent He says the situation is tolerable now but he is worried that it may get worse as time goes on He does not expect to change his citizenship Other differences Mr Naber finds in Canada are in prices which he says are lot higher than in San Diego his last home in the US and in the pace of life Everything relaxed he says slower pace of living

from Detroit two years ago when she married her husband John Toronto native whom she met because their families owned neigh boring cottages Mrs DesRoches who lived with her husband in Toronto

given life sentence jury rejects insanity plea By JOIIN WROE Examiner Staff Reporter This man ought not to have been released from protective care in the first place said Mr Justice Weatherston after sentencing Harris Christopher Whyte to life im prisonment Whyte was found guilty in Supreme Court Monday of the murder of William Quinn and James McMaster Sept 27 near rillia with the jury of eight men and four women rejecting the evidence of psychiatrist that Whyte was insane at the time of thekillings Although persons serving life terms are usually eligible for parole after it years Whyte will probably never be allowed into society again Mr Justice Weatherston included psychiatric reports on Whyte in the material to be sent to the penitentiary and recom mended that he never be released from protective custody Whyte 20 had been at the Ontario Ilospital School at the Huronia Regional Centre since he was six but was permitted to sign himself out at age 18 For the past two years he had been in and out of lluronia on about fourmonth cycle Ac cording to testimony in the Local General TWtHIIARGIII Barrie City Police charged two persons with impaired driving Monday night Hrian Miles 37 of 234 line Dr was charged about 5940 pm and James Hlaine lfiininiei lit of Shanty Bay was charged about It pm Both will appear in provincial court April 20 TIIIEVES GET $500 Thieves escaped with about $500 from the and store in the Iliiroiiiii Mall on Highway 27 just outside Midland Midland Il say thieves ap parcntly forced entry to the Mall Sunday morning through service door then forced their way into the and They managed to get into one coin partment of the sale which ap peared to be their main ob jective None of the other 12 stores were broken into The breakin was not discovered on til Monday morning when the mall opened threeltday trial Whyte would of ten attempt suicide in order to have himself readmittcd to Iluronia Testimony also showed Whyte to be homosexual which according to Dr Fred Escher of lluronia is quite common state in institutions At the time of the killings he had been having homosexual relationship with McMaster man in his 70s borderline mental retardate Whyte had moved in with McMaster about three weeks before he killed him IIAD MINOR FIGIIT The day before the killings Whyte had minor fight with McMaster but was told he would get another chance the evening of Sept 27 lie had gone to take water to Quinn cripple and while there had picked up 22 cal rifle which was prone to at cidental discharge and shot him The first shot apparently killed him but Whyte fired total of It shots into him then went to ltlcltlasters house and shot him five times He also killed two dogs owned by Me Master shooting them each twice lle attempted to drive away in McMasters truck but only ended up blocking the road At about 131 am Lonier Laplan te drove along the road and was held at gunpoint by Whyte when he got out of his car to in vestigate the stalled truck Whyte deniandcd to be driven to loronto but instead Mr Laplante took him to his home and there talked him out of his gun and called police Whyte was examined by two psychiatrists Dr Basil Hf charrl and Dr Peter Rowsell Both had extensive background in forensic psychiatry lthat is dealing with the lawi but reached opposite conclusions as to Whytes sanity at the time of thekillings Both agreed that Whyte had the mental capacity of seven yearrolrl and both found that Whyte had no recollection of rage or anger while performing the rloiible murder Based on this and Whytes background Dr Orchard formed the opinion that the killings were without icasoii or iiiotivc hence insane Whytes intelligence and his consumption of alcohol gave him state of natural ini in Etna becility fitting the legal definition of insanity IIAI DISORDER Dr Rowsell however had theory that seemed to explain the murders Whyte said Dr Rowsell had been rejected so often that he had character disorder which caused him to become overly dependent on people or institutions He had been dependent on Huronia hence his continual returns and had transferred that depen dence to McMaster who provided him home When McMaster told him he had to leave it set off deep burning rage suggested Dr Rowsell That rage wasnt directed just at McMaster but at society in general Dr Rowsell wasnt sure just what harl touched off the rage but once started Whyte had killed the two men anrl dogs and his rage had burned out by the time Laplaiite picked him up In his submission to the jury defence lawyer Richard Clarke said he was very disturbed by Dr Rowsells position First of all he said Dr Rowsell had been on the case only since March while Dr Orchard had been involved since December Secondly he worried about the fact that Dr Rowsell based his theory on two things rage and dependency Dr Rowsell he said was the only person to consider rage All the officers involved in the case had testified that Whyte harl readily admitted to the killings but had repeatedly said he wasnt angry As well he couldnt see how the rage could wear off so easily and why Quinn had been the first victim when neither psychiatrist could find anything that had started the killings My position is that Harris Whyte was insane said Mr flarke He didnt appreciate his actions say Whyte was not responsible for his actions Perhaps the system he found himself in is responsible IIIICORYREDIRLII rown attorney John Alexan der felt the theory of Dr owsell was credible and of fered the oiin explanation to flitkillings Although the acts were bizarre and would induce synr pathy they fall short of in sanity he said You must base your verdict on facts and not sympathy for the accused would suggest that Dr Orchard was swayed by sympathy but it simply cant enter our discussion In 25minute charge to the jury Mr Justice Weatherston concentrated on the definition of insanity and the two positions taken by the psychiatrists You must decide if the ac cused had the ability to ap preciate his actions he said Appreciate means not just un derstanding the physical acts of pulling the trigger but also being able to see the possible consequences of those actions Also child of seven cant be held responsible before the law for his actions so if you ac cept the testimony that Whyte has mental age of seven that may affect your decision Mr Justice Weatherston also questioned the basic tenets of Dr Rowsells theory rage and dependency He said there was no strong evidence of dependency up to the time Whyte was threatened with being kicked out and similarly there was no evidence on anything to touch off the rage The jury deliberated about two and half hours before reaching verdict and made no recommendation as to minimum term However the jury did suggest that Whyte be given psychiatric help 119 715mm Examiner CITYNEWS The Barrie Examiner Tuesday March I6 I9763 Laurier courses offered again at Orillia For the 13th successive year Wilfrid
