Constitutional case in Schreiber | The Courtroom in the basement of the Ontario Provincial Police De- tachment in Schreiber was the scene of an un- usual court case last week. The case was heard in the monthly Provincial Offenses Court, Crim- inal Division. A Schrei- ber man was charged with obstructing a police _ Officer in the performan- ce of his duty. Crown Attorney David Young introduced evidence that in the early morning hours of March 19, 1983, an OPP Cruiser in Schreiber pulled over an automobile with three passengers in it. The constable driving the cruiser called for assistance, and then got out of his cruiser and walked towards the parked car he had just stopped. The driver of the car also got out. The constable testified that he appeared to have been drinking. The driv- er was informed that he was being arrested for dangerous driving and was escorted back to the cruiser. As the driver was being placed in the backseat of the cruiser, the constable testified that he was grabbed around the throat from behind. The OPP con- stable turned and hit his assailant twice, break- ing the grip around his throat, and knocking his assailant to the ground. ._The constable testi- fied that the assailant was the second passen- ger in the car which he had. stopped. The Schreiber man was later charged with 'obstruct- ing police.' A second OPP con- stable arrived on the. scene and the alterca- tion was stopped. The driver of the car was placed in the OPP cruis- _er and the constable's assailant was placed in the second cruiser and driven to the OPP De- tachment in Schreiber. The defence intro- duced evidence that at- tempted to show that the Schreiber man char- ged with 'obstruct po- lice' had not, in fact. assaulted the police con- stable. But had rathe1 attempted to intervene and protect his friend. the driver of the car. when he felt that the police constable was us: ing too much force it making the arrest. Under cross-examina. tion, the constable stat: ed that he was not using excessive force in mak ing the arrest and tha he had been assaulted. Although very fev charges of obstructior continued on page : L.S.B.E. responds to Allan Report The Lake Superior Board of Education has submitted its response to the Allan Report to the Minister of Educa- tion. The fifteen page reply was presented to Regional Director of Education Roy Hough- 'ton in Thunder Bay by Board Chairman Mike Reid and the Director of Education. One of the strongest recommendations in the Allan Report was that funding for small sec- ondary schools in North- ern Ontario be increas- ed. Education Minister Bette Stephenson has said that before she can make a public announce- ment of her decision on that recommendation, she would have to consi- der the Lake Superior Board's response to that recommendation as well as the response of the other Northern Boards. Not surprisingly the LSBE strongly endorsed the proposed increase in its provincial grants. Premier Bill Davis' decision last week to retain Mrs. Stephenson 'in the Education port- folio reinforces what is already seen in Queen's Park as a foregone con- clusion. That the Minis- ter will in fact announ- ce that the additional funding will be made available this fall.
