The public mischief charge was laid when Jolie pulled the door of the Commodore Hotel about six inches from its frame, at 1:45 a.m. on June 11. The cost of repairing the door was $70. Jolie's attorney told Provincial Judge Len Montgomery that he had a problem with alcohol, and had had the problem since he was about 15 years old. The attorney told Montgomery that his client realized he would probably have to go to jail as a result of the con- victions, but asked whether he might be sent to the Ontario Correc- tional Institute in Brampton, where he could get treatment for his problem Judge Montgomery sentenced Jolie to 15 days in jail on the impaired driving conviction, 15 days on the driving while suspended charge, 100 days on the charge of theft over $200, 50 days for theft under $200, and 30 days on the _ public mischief charge. All the sentences will be served consecutively. Judge Montgomery ordered that the sen- tences be served at the Ontario Correctional Institute, with the strong recommendation that Jolie get treatment for his alcohol problem while in jail. Also included in the sentence were the con- ditions that Jolie make restitution in the amount of $70 to the Commodore Hotel, and in the amount of $14 to the taxi driver he robbed. Jolie will be on probation for 12 one after his jail term is* completed. Discharae Sixteen-year-old Robert "given a Nadler of Toronto was conditional discharge Thursday in provincial court after being convicted last month of causing wilful damage. Nadler, a student at Silverthorn Collegiate in Etobicoke, was charged earlier this summer after he was caught with a group of his friends on a Tiny Township beach, burning a picnic table. Although all the boys were present while the table was being burned, Nadler admitted it was his idea, and _ took responsibility for the incident. Judge Montgomery gave him the discharge with' a caution to be of good behaviour for six months, and an order to pay $50 restitution to Tiny Township within two months. Probation breach A 20-year-old Toronto man was sentenced in court Thursday to 30 days in jail on a charge of breach of probation. Paul Baglieri was convicted on January 8th of theft over $200 and put on probation for a period of 12 months. On April 12th, he was convicted of impaired driving" in provincial court in Midland. The breach of probation charge was laid because any criminal conviction, while on probation, is considered a breach. Before sentencing, Baglieri's mother took the witness stand to testify that he had stopped seeing some of his friends, who she felt were having a _ bad influence on him, and that he had improved his behaviour and _ stopped drinking since his im- paired driving conviction. Since Baglieri has a job as a mechanical engineer at the Inn-on-the-Park, Judge Montgomery or- dered that the sentence be served on weekends to allow him to maintain hi€ employment.

Fernand Assance, originally from Christian Island, was charged after he took $95 from two purses in a house in Midland, where he was a guest. His attorney told the court that Assance, who now attends school in Orillia, had been living in the house where the theft occurred, while he at- tended school in Midland for a brief period of time. On July 15, when the theft occurred, he had returned to Midland for a visit. Judge Montgomery ordered that Assance be of good behaviour for a period of 12 months, and that he make restitution within 11 months. Dismissed A charge of driving with excess alcohol in his blood, laid against 37- year-old Darryl Sly of Collingwood, was dropped in provincial court Thursday, following a rather unusual trial. which came to a_ halt because the main witness for the defense was not present. é The prosecution wit- ness, Constable Everett Hicks of the Midland detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, told the court he had been driving nor- thbound on Highway 27, coming out of Wyebridge at 11:35 p.m. on June 19, when he saw a vehicle going southbound at a high rate of speed. He turned around and began following the vehicle, and caught up with it when it came up behind a car pulling a trailer. Hicks said he tried to get the attention of the vehicle's driver by flashing his lights, but was un- successful. He said the vehicle then passed the car and trailer, and Hicks did the same. He clocked the vehicle at 60 miles per hour, and then it slowed down to 50, although it did not pull over. Hicks radioed ahead to the Elmvale detachment to have them set up a, roadblock, but as the two cars went through Waverley, the vehicle finally pulled over. Hicks said the driver, who he identified as Sly, DAN HERBERT Gentlemen's Clothier MIDLAND : : "FASHION SHOW OCT. 4th" Give us a call Graham, Sirabes 526-2021 SN SEN GES SEN GER AR & We SERGE SENS MA IK smelled of intoxicant, so he took him to the cruiser and read him the stan- dard breath demand. Back at the detach- ment, Hicks said, Sly performed quite well on all the-standard physical tests for impairment, and then took the breathalyzer test with a resulting reading of .180. Under. cross-examin- ation, Hicks admitted that Sly's driving and performance on _ the physical tests did not necessarily indicate impairment, and he said Sly had complained at the time of breathalyzer test that one of the lights on the machine was not working properly. When Sly's attorney asked why the breathalyzer _ operator, Constable Eric Weise, had not been brought to the court as a crown witness, he was told Weise was at home sleeping as he was on night shift. A short recess was held during which the crown attorney called Weise and discovered that a light on the breathalyzer had not been working at the time of the incident, and that the reading could possibly have been incorrect. When court resumed, the crown attorney asked that he be allowed to drop the charge. 30 days in jail A Penetanguishene man was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty in provincial court Monday to a charge of driving while his licence was under suspension. This was the third conviction on this kind of offence for 44-year-old Yves Kirouac of: Penetanguishene. Kirouac was charged on July 5 in Midland after being stopped by the Midland police on 4th Street. Judge L.T. Mon- tgomery said he felt he had no other choice but to sentence Kirouac to a short period of in- carceration. "You have 'shown disregard for this law on three different oc- casions,"' he said. Kirouac will serve his 30 days on an intermittent basis. BILL GRAY ¢ | Police report stable Tiffen. Main Street. they were gone.
