Page 14, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1992, News Inquest into deaths at abandoned mine shaft scheduled for next week by Darren MacDonald Staff An inquest into the deaths of two men in a mining shaft near Schreiber last July will be an educational process, says Coroner Dr. William Govon. "The purpose of any inquest is to learn the who, where, when and why," says Govon. "And to obtain recommenda- tions from the jury in terms of what can be learned from it, and what can be applied in future to try and prevent such tragedies from happening again." Because the deaths occurred Visiting Thunder Bay ? Shopping? Site Seeing? Vacationing? Find comfort at in a Mine, Govon says the Mining Act makes an inquest mandatory. Govon will preside over the Dec. 9 proceedings, during which witnesses will be called to determine what happened. The Crown Attorney will ask questions on behalf of the Coroner, but Govon says indi- viduals or groups who have been granted standing, such as family members or specific companies that may have been 'involved, may also question witnesses.

"Then the jury retires to consider the questions and make recom- mendations." A jury at an inquest is made up of five people from the local area. Govon says he expects the proceedings will take about a day to complete. "Even though (the inquest) is mandatory, there's always something to be leaned from them," he says. "But they are not intended as preliminary proceedings to legal actions. As matter of fact, if there is an issue where crimi- nal charges may be pending, no inquest is held until the other issue is resolved." News tip? Call 825-3747 Raa ae et dete tte tte be tet te B.J.

"The wolf is a black wolf, and that's not a common colour." He also says this is the first time that he has been involved with successfully prosecuting a case like this. "I think every CO in the province knows that this hap- pens from time to time," he says. "And wolves are vulnera- ble to the speed of snowmo- biles when they're out on the ice." As for the wolf, Dennis says it will probably be tanned and used for educational purposes. "These kinds of cases don't happen every day," he says. "And I think the fines reflect the seriousness the courts place on matters like these." In passing sentence, Justice of the Peace Gordon Buterin said that "the animal had died a horrible and violent death." The incident took place on a frozen lake near Dubreuilville.
