Poor Carl didn't win a prize but he drew many smiles anyways. For more Halloween pictures, Little Britain teenager jailed for three years A 19-year old Little Britain man has been sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of two charges of criminal negligence causing death and impaired driving. Steven Guymer was sentenced last week by District Court Judge Donald Lawson. Guymer was found guilty on the charges last September 19 in a trial by jury. In handing down the three year term in penitentiary, Judge Lawson delivered a warning to anyone who gets behind the wheel while drunk. "The message that has to get out to the public is that those who are impaired cannot drive," he stated. Guymer, who had no previous record for drinking and driving of- fenses, was involved in an accident June 12, 1985 that claimed the lives of two people: Margaret Parsons, 62, of Aurora and her 77-year old brother-in-law James Parsons of New York State. The accident took place on Regional Road 21 between Utica and Regional Road 23. Crown prosecutor Doug Brown told the court that Guymer had been drinking with friends in a bar after work and the accident took place when his car crossed the centre line and slammed into the Parsons' westbound vehicle. Blood samples taken from Guymer after the acci- dent showed alcohol levels at more than twice the legal limit, court was told. The three year sentence was handed down by Judge Lawson last Wednesday, and he rejected ar argument by Guymer's lawyer that the young man be sentenced to a term of 18 months in provincial reformatory. "The message has to be sent to the public that this crime of drinking and driving is intolerable and has to stop," the Judge said. Halloween pranksters waited un- til well after the witching hour before going on a 'mini' damage rampage in Port Perry. Police say three cars parked in driveways in Port Perry had their tires slashed, and the slashers went to work in front of the Regional Police office on Water Street.. The tires of a cruiser and the paddy wagon were slashed some time in the early morning hours on Saturday. Aside from that bit of malicious damage, Regional Police told the Star that Halloween night in Scugog Township was quiet and un-eventful. The presence of the paddy wagon and numerous extra officers in un- marked cars may have had something to do with keeping the pranksters off the streets. A spokesman for the department said there were few serious in- cidents of damage anywhere in Scugog, Brock or Uxbridge Townships on Halloween. And the Durham Police received no reports of "booby-trapped" can- Thieves Thieves were busy in Scugog Township last week making off with 'close to $15,000 worth of stolen property.

Both the Scugog Fire departments in Port Perry and Caesarea reported quiet Halloweens. The Fire departments always have a full con- tingent of men on duty Halloween night, just in case there is serious trouble in the Township. For the first time in many years, the Port Perry Unit did not have to respond to a call for a burning shed or barn. "We didn't have to take the trucks out once the entire evening,' said a department spokesman. And the men at the. Caesarea department also had a quiet even- ing, according to a spokesman. In Port Perry, the only calles the department had were for opened fire hydrants, about six in total.

However, ward 3 councillor Don Cochrane, who is a member of the Fair Board, told councillors at the Monday meeting that the Fair Board members are still "badly split' about making any move to a new site behind Scugog Arena. Councillor Cochrane suggested that the council offer the Fair Board the buy-out proposal and let the Fair Board use the money to buy or lease a completely new site and put up the necessary facilities to run its three-day Fair. This is the latest suggestion in the on-going saga of whether the Fair Board should move from its present site on Simcoe Street to make way for construction of a new elementary school on the existing site. Scugog Township owns the present 22 acre Fair site and the Duram Board of Education wants seven acres in the northwest corner as the site for a new school.
