Webster’s appeal thrown out

by DANIEL LARONDE

ifty-one year old A. Gary Webster of St. Peter’s Bay, charged with sexual offenses, has failed in his attempt to have these charges thrown out of PEI Provincial Court.

Webster, a Political Science professor at the time the offenses allegedly took place, formerly charged with giving marijuana to a minor, (also under appeal), is fighting charges of gross indecendcy, buggery, and indecent assault against victims only known by their initials. These offenses happened over a period of 1 - 9 years, alleging that oral sex, attempted sodomy and - masturbation had taken place.

Webster has filed three other appeals, one to the PEI Provincial Court, another to the PEI Supreme Court and a third to the appeals section of the PEI Supreme Court. The appeal most recently denied was filed to the Supreme Court of Canada, in which the denial would make way for the charges to be heard in the Provincial Court.

Webster’s lawyer argued to the Provincial Court that the Crimi- nal Code was violated when police “‘information’’ did not meet criteria set by the Criminal Code of Canada. This information had failed to include data for Webster to be informed of the charges against him.

In the Supreme Court of Canada, in Ottawa, Webster’s lawyer stated that the appeal heard by the PEI Supreme Court appeals section was thrown out and that they erred in doing so. The

appeal was denied.

Imaginus reviewed

visited by Clint Eastwood, Marilyn Monroe, Einstein,

the Blues Brothers, and even Jesus. What is this you ask This is the Imaginus company who travel across Canada, stop ping at universities to sell art work. Imaginus is only too shor They know there is a lot of disposable income to be spent universities.

The artwork comes in the form of prints which range in pric from six to about forty-five dollars apiece. Of course, with an event there is good taste and bad taste. I believe that the vas majority of the art is in good taste though there is some art whic is bad and doesn’t belong next to the good stuff. For instanc¢ an uninspired photograph of Robert Plant resembling a monke in jeans along with a barely visible Jimmy Page just does n1 fit in with scenic orator art work or humorous closeups of am who really has made contributions, Einstein.

Another irritation I felt was that there were for too mai

pictures of Jim Morrison. I think jim is okay, but do we need

have twelve prints of Jim Morrison? Have these people hea! of overkill?

Besides, Bob Dylan deserves more credit than Morrison.

Some of my favourite prints were the kitten in the fish bo Clint Eastwood ‘‘Revolver’’, the picture perfect wolf photo and any of the five Einstein photos.

There were so many prints, that if I were there alone, whi would never happen because Imaginus is so popular, it wo still take over an hour to view every print available.

In conclusion, I am pleased with the art Imaginus has for S4 each year; however, I would like to see more sports photos, ’ maybe a reduction in some of the rock and roll prints.
