He's made little Kristin Cochrane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Cochrane of Port Perry, his newest friend and has no intention of relinquishing the friendship. The grey squirrel walked into the Pe Cochranes life about two weeks ago and efforts to free him to the outside world have failed since Scamper adopted the family. So, for the time being, they're feeding him peanuts but hoping he will leave soon. You see, the Cochrane's dog Mutfit just doesn't know what to make of this strange little fellow who seems to think that she is it's mother. 36 Pages Vol. 113 No. 31 Wednesday, June 13,1979 No toll free phone for Blackstock until 1983 A Durham Region police constable was found not guilty in provincial court e June 5 on a charge of a common assault against a young Port Perry man. The charge against Constable Stewart Giffen, who works out of Number 26 Division, Uxbridge, had been registered by Steven Jones, 20, of R.R.2, Port Perry. The case was heard in Ajax by provincial court Judge Charles Scullion. After listening to sworn testimony from numerous witnesses called by the ® Crown and Constable Giffen's defense attorney during the day-long trial, Judge Scullion dismissed the charge, saying the police officer "'had acted properly, A young Port Perry man remains in poor condition in the intensive care unit of Scarborough General Hos- pital, the victim of an indust- rial accident June 4 in Osha- wa. Joseph Patterson, 19, was e accidentally buried under several tons of sand and gravel while he, was cleaning out a bin at Betifiett Paving and Materials Ltd. and there was no evidence that excessive force had been used." The charge against the officer arose out of an incident March 1 on a Township road south of Uxbridge in which Mr. Jones alleged that for no apparent reason, Constable Giffin punched him twice about the face, kneed him in the ribs, and twisted his finger. In response to questions from his defense lawyer Clive Bynoe, Constable Giffin told the court that he did not punch, knee or twist the finger of Mr. Jones. The officer testified that about 4:20 p.m. on March 1, he and his partner Con- stable Dietmar Schoenrock received a call concerning a Buried under gravel, man in poor condition Patterson was buried for about 15 minutes and when finally freed, fire fighters performed cardio-pulminary resuscitation to get the heart beating and start the victim breathing again. He was taken first to Osha- wa General Hospital in criti- cal condition and transferred a couple of days later to Scarborough. (Turn to page 3) car accident on the Township road south of Uxbridge. On arrival, the officers found a damaged car that had been rolled in the ditch while Mr. Jones was driving. Constable Giffin told the court he suspected that Mr. Jones had been drinking, and after he could not properly perform a heal-to-toe test Constable Giffin told him he would be charged with impaired driving and would have to take a breathalyser test. Mr. Jones was placed in the back seat of the cruiser behind the driver, and at this point the two officers drove slowly up and down the road looking for a case of beer which Mr. Jones said he had thrown from the car. Both Constable Giffin and Constable Schroenrock testi- fied that while they were asking Mr. Jones more questions about the car accident, he became agitated and started to shake the top of the screen in the cruiser and also pushed the front seat back and forth. "I became anxious for my driving, while he (Jones) was rattling the screen", Constable Giffin told the court. "I cautioned him to settle down and remove his hands from the screen." Constable Giffin testified that he then stopped the cruiser, got out and opened Bell Canada says it will be 1983 at the earliest before the company will even consider extending the toll free dial- ing area for subscribers in the 986 (Cartwright) ex- change. Bell district manager Marline Veater made it clear to Scugog council Monday night that any toll-free dialing from Cartwright to areas such as Oshawa, Hampton and Bowmanville is at least four years away. Representatives committee for improved telephone services in Ward 4 (Cartwright) also attended the meeting and presented Ms. Veater with a 700 name petition from Cartwright phone subscribers who are in favour of toll-free dialing to Oshawa at least. At present, people living within the 986 exchange can call Port Perry and Bethany the rear door, intending to put handcuffs on Mr. Jones, and also to raise the screen between the seats.

In presenting the petition, committee representative Norm Card said that Cart- wright residents can call far fewer numbers toll-free than "can those in Port Perry, Oshawa and other areas of Durham Region.
