Custody brings more custody —

A man already in custody on another charge was sentenced to
seven days in jail instead of the usual fine after he pleaded guilty to
mischief.

Randy Blomley, 20, of Vancouver, smashed out the windows,
windshields and headlights of vehicles belonging to himself and
his girlfriend following a party in Ganges on Sept. 16, crown
counsel Edward Ormheim said in Sidney provincial court
Thursday.

Blomley attacked the vehicles after his girlfriend refused to let
him drive home, Ormheim said. He was picked up by Ganges
police at about 1:30 a.m. Blomley had deep cuts on his right hand
and was intoxicated, Ormheim added. :

Defence lawyer Rick Schwartz said Blomley has limited
financial resources and is already in custody on another charge for
which he has not been able to raise bail, so suggested a jail term
instead of a fine.

Although Judge Alan Filmer said he would normally impose a
fine for mischief, he agreed to impose a jail term.

$600 fine for second impaired

A high breathalyzer reading and a second conviction for
impaired driving within the past few years equalled a high fine for
Jay Allan Timmins in Sidney provincial court Thursday.

The 21-year-old Sidney man pleaded guilty before Judge Alan

Filmer.
_ Crown counsel Edward Ormheim said police stopped Timmins
at 1:30 a.m. July 28 after seeing Timmins’ vehicle complete a
U-turn on West Saanich Road. Timmins appeared intoxicated and
later provided breathalyzer readings of .22 and .24 per cent.

Defence lawyer Joie Quarton said Timmins was on medication
in July and unable to work following an automobile accident the
previous February. When seen by police, he was turning his car to
drive home, Quarton said. Timmins has now retumed to work.

Timmins said his judgment was affected by the combination of
medication and alcohol.

Judge Alan Filmer cited the high reading and Timmins’ previous
impaired driving conviction in imposing a $600 fine. He also
suspended Timmins’ driver’s licence for a year and placed
Timmins on probation with instructions to accept counselling for

alcohol abuse.

Timmins was further ordered not to consume excessive amounts
of alcohol. A reading over .05 per cent would be a breach of
probation, Judge Filmer warned.

Heavy fine for stealing keys

A 21-year-old Sidney man break-in was underway, but did not

4 ALeg to Stand On by Oliver Sacks. Harper Perennial. 222 pages.
The Boy Who Felt No Pain by Robert Marion, M.D.
Addison Wesley. 203 pages. $22.95

Oliver Sacks was climbing a desolate mountain in Norway when
he came face to face with a rampant bull. Fleeing for his life, Sacks
(a reknowned neurologist) tumbled off a cliff, and severely injured
his leg.

Alter a dramatic rescue, Sacks was flown back to his native
London. But after undergoing surgery, he found that his leg no
longer felt part of his body. He couldn’t move it. What he saw
stretched out below him seemed alien. :

The metaphor around which both Sacks’ drama and reflections
revolve is the scotoma... “a hole in experience, those pieces of the
self that evaporate.” In previous books, including the bestselling The |
Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Sacks has focused on the F
rehabilitation of neurologically impaired patients; in A Leg to Stand f
') On he discusses his work investigating hundreds of other patients
F) with neurologically determined body-image disorders which are
| essentially similar to his own.
| The Boy Who Felt No Pain is a series of personalized case
* histories about children with rare congenital disorders. In the title
# story, Robert Marion, who specializes in pediatric genetics, diagnos-
| es achild who is literally incapable of feeling pain. Marion visits him
# two years after he’s been discharged from the hospital; the boy has fj

chewed off his fingernails and the tips of his fingers; his body is a &
mass of scar tissue.

Enthusiasts of true-stories-from-hospital-bedside genre, will love
this book. The children are brave, the diseases indeed rare, and the
medical terminology sufficient for even an ardent medical junkie.
