hit water at 230 mph Keswick inquest iury told By LORI COHEN Of The Examiner KESWICK Examination of the shattered wreckage of light plane that crashed into Lake Simcoe July 14 killing all six men aboard ruled out the possibility the aircraft was malfunctioning prior to the crash an aviation inspector with the department of transport said Wednesday lnsp Brian Aston said there was sufficient evraence to indicate both engines on the 1965 Piper Aztec were operating when the plane hit the water at about 230 mph breaking into countless pieces and strewing parts of the plane and bodies as far as 160 yards from the crash site Insp Aston was testifying at the inquest here into the deaths of pilot Albert Hussey 53 of Aurora George Blake 51 Paul Cocking 26 Thomas Salisbury 58 all of Newmarket Alvin DiSalva 42 of Cedar Valley and Craig Fitzstmmons 20 ot Peterborough The plane carrying the men crashed northeast of Jacksons Point just off Georgina Island DENTAL RECORDS Dr John HillsdonSmith pathologist said it was impossible to determine the con dition of the pilot or passengers prior to the crash because there was no blood or internal organs left in the bodies He said identifica tion was made through scars dental records fingerprints and in one passengers case piece of cloth left over from his mended shorts Dr HillsdonSmith said all victims died of gross injuries to the entire body He said hed never seen physical trauma of this type in ex aminations of victims of 18 airplane crashes over the past 25 years lnsp Aston estimated it took 06 seconds for Rivom the aircraft to plunge 500 feet at 60degree angle before hitting the water The tremen dous force caused the aircraft to disintegrate on impact he said Several witnesses who either saw or heard the crash shortly after 10 am that morning testified there was haze above the water George Fuller of Pickering said he was fishing off the northeast side of the island when he heard plane overhead with one of its engines misfiring Because he flew himself Fuller said he knew there was engine trouble although the plane was hidden from view by the haze Ten minutes later he heard of the crash on his CB radio Dr Lawrence Chang of Don Mills who was in boat with three other people near the island testified he heard the noise of an airplane engine go from high to low pitch looked up and saw the plane 20 nose down he said It was big splash of white water no me or smoke Dr John Cooker Husseys physician for the past 10 years and pilot himself said haze can obstruct the horizon easily disorienting the pilot You would be in very serious trouble if there was nothing to fix your eye on he said lnsp James Noble of the York Regional Police said Hussey had arranged week earlier to rent the plane owned by Toronto Airways Ltd from Buttonville Airport Although there was no flight plan or passenger list when the plane left at 817 am that morning the victims wives were told the men were flying to Bracebridge over Niagara Falls and back to Buttonville They left with enough fuel for five flying hours The inquest continues today Ziembas accusations ridiculous By STEPHEN NICHOLLS Of The Examiner MPP Edward Ziembas accusations that Radio Shack controls the justice system of Barrie are ridiculous company official and Barries police chief said today Gerry Colella vicepresident said the NDP member of High ParkSwansea has so little credibility in this town that his remarks are not worthy of comment Chief Earl Snider called Ziembas remarks irrational and said as member of the legislative assembly of this province he leaves lot to be desired Earlier this week Ziemba protested the de taining in jail of Mississauga man charged with mischief for an incident on the Radio Shack picket line Brando Paris was arrested Friday night and kept in jail over Thanksgiving weekend He was released Tuesday on promise he would not picket at the plant TELEPHONED JP Ziemba said he telephoned thejustice of the peace who ordered Paris into custody to discuss the action Attorneygeneral Roy McMurtry said Wednesday that call represents very serious threat to the independence of the judiciary Its certainly call that simply should not have been made said McMurtry McMurtry said he will demand the Legislatures committee on procedural af fairs investigate Ziembas actions In an interview with The Examiner Tues day Zeimba said Radio Shack persuaded city Snider police to charge Paris and he accused the company of controlling the police Chief Snider called those comments ridiculous Nobody tells the police to charge anyone said Chief Snider Its up to the officer to in vestigate complaint and he lays an informa tion Nobody can orderan officer to lay an in formation The chief said police must ensure that peo ple who want to cross the picket line can do so safely That is our duty imposed bylaw he said Our position is strictly neutral Ziemba said police deliberately waited un til Friday to arrest Pans knowing they could persuade the Justice of the Peace to hold hint in custody on Thanksgiving weekend NOTIFIED PEEL Chief Snider said city police notified other police departments of the warrant for Paris arrest on Monday Peel Regional police went to Paris house Tuesday but he was not home said the chief Chief Snider said Barrie police asked to have Paris brought to Barrie for bail hear ing Wednesday but Peel police did not arrest Paris until Friday At Fridays bail hearing police opposed bail because Paris had previously been charged in connection with an incident at Radio Shack When there is previous charge the accus ed person must justify to the satisfaction of the justice of the peace that he should be released Area board starts planning for Penetang minischool By TERRY FIELD Of The Examiner The Simcoe County Board of Education will take the first steps toward initiating mini school for Penetanguishene French Secon dary School its members decided Wednes da Though it seems impossible the opening of French school within the walls of Penetanguishene Secondary School P58 by January as Dr Bette Stephenson Ontarios education minister suggested the board will begin planning for the minischoolby testing interest in the community deCtding how many people they will have to hire and talk ing further with the province However the action taken Wednesday does not represent commitment to the plan and several trustees warned that further study is required before any changes to P88 are considered DATES UNREAIJSTIC The opening date set down by the minister is completely unrealistic and before we even proceed we must find out if the butlding of French school within the existing school 15 desirable and to whom said Penetan guishene area trustee Alvin Gravelle during regular board session at the EdUCatton Cen tre Barrie Earlier this year the French community re jected board plan similar to the one contain ed in the ministrys new policy of French education and mixed schools In an attempt to find an answer to the high school question Dr Stephenson announced last week that her ministry would fund French minischools complete with staff and administration to be established within the walls of existing high schools In related move the board accepted the resignations of six members of the countys elected French Language Advisory Com mittee PRESENTS PROBLEMS The resignation result of the ministrys decision not to build separate school for the French was not dealt with so easily The board must ask the ministry to inter pret the Education Act before it attempts to deal with the committee members departure and the initiation of new committee Several board members were openly hostile toward the six Its typical of these six members theyve had negative attitude for the past several months Lets get some newly elected members who are really interested in helping the French students said Bill Straughan trustee for Barrie The French community however views the resignation differently and believes the committee members have been acting in its best interest in attempting to secure separate school during the past two years While the committee is creation of the Education Act there is no provision made for mass resignation For now the committee is dormant because the three members who re main who were appointed by the board do not constitute quorum Under the act it is the responsibility of the remaining members to appoint replace ment for any vacancy which is in this situa tion impossible The board will seek the advice of the ministry of education before making any decision concerning the future of the French language committee Prime Minister Clark and Energy Minister Hnatyshyn smile as they descend the stairs on Parliament Hill Wednesday heading to the governments first test in House of Commons question period CP Photo Opposition Leader Pierre Trudeau enters the House of Commons at Ottawa Wednesday where he launched an attack on the Clark government for the backtracking and confusion of Conservative policies CP Photo Be confident Clark OTTAWA CP Canadians should become more confident about their economic future and stop fearing regional and cultural differences Joe Clark said Wednesday in his maiden Commons speech as prime minister We should be confident we should be enthusiastic no country has greater op portunities Clark said in an upbeat ad dress during the first day of throne speech debate Glaring at fortner prime minister Pierre Trudeau Clark quoted the Liberal leader as saying Canadians should lower their expectations believe this is the time for Canadians to raise their expectations Referring to the question of energy sup plies Clark said that in sense OPEC the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countriest has done us favor by raising oil prices The high prices meant domestic oil sup plies such as the Alberta oil sands now can be developed at costs competitive with the rising prices of imported oil Can da could become energy selfsufficient within decade On the economic front Clark reiterated promises made in Tuesdays throne speech that special programs will be created to alleviate the traditionally high rate of unemployment among women youth and natives CHIDES LIBERALS And on the cultural level Clark speak ing directly at the row of former Liberal ministers facing him said to stop fretting about the increasingly strong regional cultures emerging There is nothing to fear the strengths of the country these are Backtracking Trudeau OTTAWA CP Opposition Leader Pierre Trudeau pulled off the gloves Wednesday and launched blistering at tack on the Clark government for the backtracking and confusion of Conserr vative policies The former prime minister leading off Commons debate on Tuesdays throne speech attacked the Clark government for failing to develop national energy policy mishandling the Jerusalem em bassy issue waiting nearly five months to meet Parliament and eroding the strength of the central government by giving away federal powers to the provinces The chronicle of confusion could go on at length Trudeau said in his strongest attack on the government since the May 22 election And Trudeau set the scene for the first confrontation in the minority Parliament as he introduced motion condemning Conservative plans to sell PetroCanada the stateowned oil company The motion alled not only for the maintenance of PetroCanada but expan sion of our national petroleum corporation as the property of all Canadians as the largest Canadianowned corporation in the petroleum industry and as major in strument of Canadian energy policy yote on the motion will come Monday but it appears unlikely the Conservatives wrll be defeated since the
