Ronald Joseph Perrault, 22, received the mandatory life im- prisonment on a charge of second degree murder for the death of Duncan Spang, 71. Wayne Charles Kennedy, 23, and his 20-year old brother Randy William Kennedy were both sentenced to 11 years in prison after they plead- ed guilty to charges of manslaughter. Mr. Justice G. Evans of the Ontario Supreme Court ruled that Perrault will not be eligible for parole until he has served a mini- mum of ten years, while the Kennedy brothers could be eligible for parole after serving approximately two- thirds of their sent- ences. Perrault had origin- ally been charged with Local group hires bus for anti-cruise rally The Scugog branch of Operation Dismantle will be chartering a bus for anyone in the Town- ship who wants to attend an anti-cruise missile march in Toronto this coming Saturday, Oct. 22. ' The bus will seat 48 persons and organizers say they are hoping at least 30 will make the trip. Several people have already indicated that they will be going. The bus will leave from the Palmer Park area of Port Perry this Saturday morning at about 8:30. The charge * will be $5 per person. The Toronto protest rally is being organized Unless he gains the support of the comm- unity, William Schnegg won't be building a ski hill in his backyard. Scugog Council un- aminously rejected his application for rezoning last Wednesday night, which if approved, would have transformed an agriculturally zoned corn field on the ridges into a family ski hill. "I think Mr. Schnegg was very reasonable and he explained what he wanted but I think it is too small an area for a by disarmament groups in that city and will focus on the decision by the Canadian govern- ment to allow testing of the American cruise missile in the northern part of the country. A challenge to that dec- ision is presently being considered by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Toronto protest march will make its way through downtown streets and wind up in front of the Legislature buildings at Queens Park. Meanwhile, 'this coming -Montlay evening at Port Perry United ski hill to be stuck in the middle of rural area," reasoned Councillor Lawrence Malcolm, who initially moved that the motion be denied. "I think there must be a better use for the 29 acres than a commer- cial ski zone." Althoug several coun- cillors commended Mr. Schnegg and his wife Joyce for their initia- tive, none supported their plans. Councillor Jack Cottrell voiced a concern about the future of the property, what Church, the local chapter of Operation Dismantle will be work- ing on an educational program on the disarm- ament issue for present- ation to groups and organizations in the community.

Calling the Killing "senseless and shock- ing", Mr. Justice Evans said the sentences must act as a deterrant to others and show that society will not tolerate these kinds of actions. And he added that he was taking into con- (Turn to page 3) Vol. 117 No. 46 Tues.

On the other hand, Councillor Harvey Gra- ham voted against the application because of opposition from the Schnegg's neighbours. A group of 10 or more men and women opposed to the Sch- negg's plans appeared before council Wednes- day night, when the decision was made, and -~ \ the week before, at a public hearing. "I feel bad about this ¢ ituation because I think what Mr. Schnegg is proposing is possible," Councillor Graham said. 'as a warm-up hill and a beginner hill, 1 think it would be feas- ible, but I'm going to support the recom- mendation because of the opposition."

Unfortunately, hard feelings are already evident between Will- iam and Joyce Schnegg and their neighbours on Concession 1, west of the Oshawa Road. "I'm in the dog house now," said Mrs. Sch- negg, only partly joking. "I'm afraid we're not in our neighbours' good books." She says she hasn't heard from any of her neighbours since the proposal was first heard, even though they were on friendly terms beforehand. Raymond Nash, a neighbour called upon to represent the people opposed to the ski hill, called the proposal "a monstrous eyesore' and said in a letter to council that the project could cause all sorts of pro- blems including traffic, garbage, noise, run-off (Turn to page 3) ST ~r > a WT me To ad S oN ATS » Pa x --_ a A : SE = RT A wh an, " ay Jo ama - a, SSE es XY = ~ = SESE (A le Ta SR P = - al aa 2 TT NE ar N eT Neg a 2 Ss Ram a r-- a
