John Schewaga of Concession 13 near Seagrave was handed the sentence in District Court in Whit- by last Thursday afternoon. Judge P. Lawson also ordered Schewaga to make full restitution of the $125,000 to the Port Perry branch of the Bank of Commerce. Schewaga was found guilty in a jury trial in May of making false statements for bank loans, fraud against the bank, and false pretences in securing a bank guarantee for a loan from the On- tario Farm Assistance Program. The charges stem from loans Accident claims Blackstock girl Funeral services were held Sun- day afternoon at the Blackstock United Church for- 19 year old Eleanor Marie Kelly, who died ear- ly Thursday evening in a car acci- dent on Regional Road 57, south of Caesarea. Her 20 year old sister Elizabeth, a passenger in the car, remains in Oshawa Hospital where she is being treated for arm injuries. Durham Police say the single car accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. in a heavy rainstorm that made road conditions slippery at the time. The girls were returning to their home in Blackstock after collecting cen- sus forms in the Caesarea area. According to police, the car was travelling slowly about 100 metres north of Concession Six, when it went out of control and flipped over. The accident took place within several hundred metres of the scene of a second fatality early Saturday morning that took the life of a 26 year old Uxbridge area man. Eleanor was a popular and well- liked teenager, who was involved in numerous community activities in the Blackstock area. A graduate of Cartwright High School, she had completed her second year of nurs- ing studies at Queens University in Kingston. She is survived by her father Gerald, her mother Joyce, who is a trustee for Scugog with the Durham Board of Education and a long-time contributer of Cartwright area news to the Port Perry Star, her sister Elizabeth and two younger sisters Elaine and Esther. Interment was at the Verulam Cemetery, Bobcaygeon. The fami- ly has asked that memorial dona- tions may be made to the Blackstock United Church.

Schewaga's lawyer Paul Fletcher ~ said he plans to launch appeals of the guilty verdicts, the restitution order and the 12 month sentence. Judge Lawson also sentenced , Schewaga to a further five months in jail to run concurrently. Schewaga will remain in custody pending the out-come of a bail ap- plication hearing this week which will seek to have him released until the appeal is heard. Mr. Fletcher said that if an appeal is granted, it could be more than a year before the courts hear the case. In passing sentence last week, Judge Lawson rejected a plea by Mr. Fletcher for 'mercy' and a conditional discharge. "I am gravely concerned over - your lack of remorse in this matter. The banks are not fair game for fraud. They must be treated honest- ly and fairly," the judge said to Schewaga just before handing down the sentence. The maximum penalty on all three counts could have been ten years in prison. Speaking to Schewaga, Judge Lawson said 'I don't know how anyone could have made so many applications (for loans) to the bank, each one of which was mis-leading and fraudulent. The amount of money involved was substantial.' The Judge also refused a request (Turn page 9) ll treat cases } of urgency The emergency department at Community Memorial Hospital will continue to stay open this week, but some patients may be turned away unless their cases are considered 'urgent.' An agreement between the hospital administration and Port Perry physicians protesting Bill 94, calls for "urJent emergency care.' "We want the public to know that urgent emergency care is being pro- vided at this hospital," said ad- ministrator David Brown on Mon- day afternoon. When asked what "urgent emergency care" means, one doc- tor said any situation that is life threatening, serious, or has the potential to develop into something serious if not treated. Meanwhile, doctors in Port Perry held a meeting Monday afternoon and it appears as if those who clos- ed their offices to patient visits last week will continue to do so this week. A spokesman for the Port Perry, doctors told the Star late Monday it is not known how long the present situation will go on here, but things could change as the result of meetings this week of the Durham Region Association and the position taken by the Ontario Medical Association. As they did last week, Drs. Allan Eix, Ralph Price and Tom Millar will continue to see patients at the Medical Associates Clinic on Paxton Street. And Dr. Millar has decided to flaunt tne ban on extra billing by charging all patients he sees a token 25 cents. In a long article written by Dr. Millar on the issue of Bill 84, he says he's going to start charging 25 cents per visit on July 1 and any pa- tient who doesn't agree with him will have to look for another doctor. He plans to turn the extra money over to needy children at Christmas time, and he is ready to accept any legal consequences that might arise from his actions in charging pa- tients 25 cents'per visit or treat- ment. (The article by Dr. Millar is printed in its entirety on page six of this weeks Port Perry Star). The Liberal government last Frri- day invoked a form of closure to cut off debate on the controversial piece of legislation and Bill 94 became law at 1:00 p.m. with Liberals and New Democrats in support and the Con- servatives opposed. Durham York MPP Ross Steven- son (PC) told the Star following the vote that the ramifications of Bill 94 will be felt in Ontario for a long time. "The Government can't win with jack-boots.

Fifty years and one day later, they celebrated their Golden Anniversary with family and friends in that same church. An open house was held last Saturday at the Church and many friends and family members stopped by to wish them well.
