Jesse Alan Churchill was charged with five counts of break and enter, three counts of theft over $200, two charges of possession of stolen goods valued at over $200, and one charge of theft under $200.

They were found in possession of a stolen window van in Coldwater on June 28, and on June 30 they were charged with theft over $200 in connection with a pickup truck stolen in Matchedash, and with break, enter and theft in connection with a breakin Churchill's attorney told the court Churchill had had an accomplice, and he said alcohol had In provincial court at a summer residence, also in Matchedash.

He informed the court that Churchill had been in jail since the first week in October, and asked that the judge take that into account in sentencing. Provincial Judge Len Montgomery said he had to decide whether or not to give Churchill more than two years in jail, which would mean he would go to a federal penitentiary. He said the rehabilitation aspect of sentencing was im- portant, but he added that the deterrent aspect for others and the protection Morrison. of the public were also important. He admitted that Churchill had not been involved in any related offences between the last time he was released from jail in 1974 and the time he committed the offences considered Thursday. He ruled that although the offences all occurred at two definite times they were in fact all separate offences, and therefore sentences for each had to run consecutively "I'm aware that if he goes to a penitentiary, the chavces that he will be oween preview preview of Hallowe'en at Ste.

He then decided to make the total sentence less than two years. "We aren't going to give up on you yet," he told Churchill. The judge recom- mended that the 21 month sentence be served at the Ontario Correctional Institute in Brampton, and ordered a period of probation of 18 months, following Churchill's release. Car theft Circumstances which were referred to as "'a little different than usual" resulted in a conditional discharge for a 25-year-old North-West Basin man who pleaded guilty in provincial court Thursday to a charge of theft over $200. Robert Cascagnette was charged in con- nection with the theft on October 15 of a 1968 Mercury Meteor. The court was told that Cascagnette had ac- companied a friend of his to the "Rooster Tail" in Tiny Township on the night in question, in the friend's car. After a while Cascagnette left, and a short time later the friend went to leave, and found his car missing. He reported the incident to police, who found the car the next morning in Cascagnette's driveway. According to Cascagnette's statement taken by the police, he had been intending to get a ride home with some other friends, but they took longer than he had expected to leave, and when he found the keys in his friend's car, he took it, intending to return it in the morning. The judge asked Cascagnette if he had known the friend whose car he took for a long time, and Cascagnette answered that he had. The judge then said he thought the cir- cumstances were unusual, and said the fact that the keys were in the car was a mitigating circumstance. He said he felt the circumstances warranted a discharge, and gave Cascagnette a conditional discharge, with 10 months probation. But he warned Cascagnette that if there were another occurrance, there was a_ good possibility he would go to jail. Excess alcohol A 38-year-old Victoria Harbour man was fined in provincial court Thur- sday, after he pleaded guilty to a charge of excess alcohol. Peter Karalash was charged on October 23 of this year. The court was told Karalash had _ been spotted by police at about 12:05 a.m., weaving as he drove south on Highway 103. The police pulled him over after they saw him drive onto the shoulder and back onto the road twice. They observed a smell of alcohol on his breath, and charged him with impaired driving. ¢ The excess alcohol charge was laid after a breathalyzer test yielded a reading of .260. Judge Montgomery ordered him to pay a fine of $350, or spend 50 days in jail. Simply superb AUGGAGE « OF MIDLAND OUCH! .
