Orr was angry because he was told he had been barred from the pub which was not tue, McKimm added: Ormheim noted Orr had an extensive previous record. McKimm said Orr was in cus- tody, having turned himself in Nov. 30 after missing a court date. Or had been living in a trailer in the KOA campground and supporting himself as a carpenter, earning an hd estimated $2,000 a month. ¥ Continued from Page A6 - happened was we threw out a council who specialized in giving in to his department and we elected a new mayor and council who had the guts to act immedi- ately in the public interest, and contacted his ministry: Local NDP candidate Elsie McMurphy supported council, then MLA Mel Couvelier and Highways Minister Rita Johnston met with our new mayor Marie Rosko. Out of that came the deci- sion to accept the Sidney voter’s wishes. Singer is wrong in saying of Sidney, “they don’t want an inter- change of any sort.” That is not @hat the mayor said at all. She indicated she is looking at several other options. Finally Singer said “there are only minor safety concems at the intersection.” Funny I could swear the former mayor and her suppor- ters told us that the safety prob- lems were horrendous.

Most of the charges arise over a period which started in May this year when Orr began drinking heavily. - May marked the first anniver- sary of his parents’ death — both died of cancer in 1989, one in May and one in June. “He became lost in alcohol because of grief,” McKimm said. “My client’s wish is to put all these matters — which are black summer — behind him.” Judge Wayne Smith said his primary obligation is to protect the public against Orr’s abuse of alco- hol and driving while impaired. He prohibited Orr from driving for 30 months. He also sentenced Orr to one month in jail on the first May 26 impaired driving charge; to two months on the second May 26 charge; to three months on the July 14 charge and to four months on — the Sept. 4 charge. Orr was also ordered to serve 30 days for the theft from the 7- Eleven Store, 30 days for causinga | disturbance in Tiller’s Pub and 10 ~ days for the motor vehicle act — infraction.
