Judge J.P. Kelly sen- tenced Keith Barry, 20, in county court May 11. Barry, who lives in Oak- wood, nine miles west of Lindsay, was charged with criminal negligence after the car he was driving crashed a mile south of Cannington on Brock Sideroad 18 on August 15, 1980. Terry Gorrill, 18, of Wasaga Beach, died 10 days "after the crash. A second passenger, Lance Robinson, 17, of 118 Scugog St., Port Perry, suffered brain damage, had his back broken in three places and lost the use of an arm. Robinson told a county court trial he is still being treated for the injuries he received from the accident. The trio were driving to Port Perry, returning from a party in Cannington. Barry driving "at a high rate of speed," lost control of the 1974 Pontiac about a mile and a half south of Canning- ton when he reached the crest of a hill, said assistant crown attorney Rick Bagg. The vehicle rolled for a distance of about: 65 feet down the hill, until it finally came to rest on its wheels. A group - of friends, travelling in a second car, discovered the accident and called police and ambulance crews. Robinson testified he and Gorill asked Barry several times to slow down.

Bagg asked for a jail term ranging. from three to six months. The defence asked for a lesser sentence, pointing out Barry was only 17 years old at the time of the accident and had no criminal or driving record. The Oakwood man gra- duated from a community college last month as engineering technician. Council endorses new metal plant Scugog Township council 'gave support in principle to a metal separation plant pro- posed for the Carlan Indus- trial Park at Regional Road 8 and Simcoe Streét, just west of Port perry. Township administrator Earl Cuddie told members of council at the May 10 meeting, that based on discussions between the developer and municipal officials, the 5000 square foot plant would be involved in the separtion and temporary storage of such things as copper and aluminum from scrap metals. The plant would be located on a two acre site just north of the present industrial mall on Regional Road 8. Mayor Jerry Taylor told members of council the Township has received assurances from the devel- oper that the propose industry "will be safe and clean." He said the property will be fenced and any materials stored outside will not be visible from the road. Although council gave its support to the concept of this kind of small industry, there were some concerns raised, and councillor John Wolters said there should be height restrictions on any materials stored outside. The two acre site'is zoned industrial at the present time, but apparently' the officials from the proposed plant would like a further ten acres to the north as a possible area for further expansion. That land would need a re-zoning. Beer gardens get OK from Township One of the surest signs of summer is the number of beer garden applications to Township council for per- mission to hold beer gardens. Last week, council gave "permission for three beer gardens to be held over the summer months, The Canadian Tire Softball team will hold a beer garden July 30 --August 2. Port Perry Old Timers will hold a beer garden August 5-9 in connection with Western Weekend activities. And Emiels Restaurant has been granted permission to hold a beer garden also during the Western Weekend. As council gave per- mission to hold the beer gardens, Township adminis- trator Earl Cuddie commented that any group or organization wishing to hold such a function in the Township should seek per- mission well in advance of the event. This year for the first time, the Liquor Licen- cing Board is requesting that council grant permission by resolution. Mr. Cuddie said that at least six weeks advance time is needed for a group or organization to get all the necessary approvals to stage a beer garden.
