After deliberating for two hours, a Manitoba' Court of Queen's Bench jury recommended Larry Sheldon, 40, be allowed to apply to the National Parole Board in two years, after he serves 17 years of his sentence. Sheldon was sentenced in 1974 to life in prison without parole for 20 years after he was convicted of the stabbing death of 10-year-old Leila Kuusselka near Gimli, Man. Under a 1976 Criminal Code amendment, convicts who have served 15 years of their sentence are entitled to argue for early parole before a jury.

Kuusselka's decomposing, partially clothed body was found in the bush near her Gimli home several days after her disappearance in August 1973. She had been stabbed several times in the chest. At the conclusion of the threeday hearing yesterday, Chief Justice Benjamin Hewak called the case a landmark in Manitoba's legal history, the first time in Manitoba that application has been made.

Similar cases have been heard in two other Canadian courts since the amendment's introduction. In a Quebec case the commended jury rethe parole date be bumped up. In an Ontario case, the jury dismissed the application.

But the lawyer representing Kenny Morin, the 17-year-old who still has trouble walking his skin-grafted left leg, said decision means his client has choice but to file a suit against the city.

The incident April 17 prompted calls for an independent quiry. Morin had jaywalked across Saskatoon's Second Avenue to catch a bus home when police officer on foot patrol called Morin and told him use the crosswalk.

Lawyer calls for lash for client CALGARY (CP) Lawyer Lou Faber says he'd rather see his client face a flogging than a lengthy prison sentence for his part in a robbery and aggravated assault. Lou Faber told a provincial court sentencing hearing Wednesday that a long jail term is unlikely to rehabilitate his 18- year-old client. Instead, "'The lash might not be an inappropriate punishment." I never thought I'd say I wished the lash to come back but this is a situation where he must be punished. I'm sorry there isn't an Whipping as a form of punishment was removed from the Criminal Code about 20 years ago.

Faber said he would have liked to resurrect the old law for Kenneth Arthur Williamson, who pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and robbery in the March 12 hold-up of a grocery store. -'Grizzly' saves- In general, he said, people walking through an area where there may be bears should talk or sing so they don't startle a bear. Depending on the wind direction, a bear might not detect a human nearby. If one does come across a bear, the best advice is to back off slowly. Mr.

Kindree cautions people in the bush from cooking in tents or leaving food unprotected. But, he added, there are also numerous calls coming in from the urban areas about foraging bears. "If they find (food) they will be He urges people in the city to ensure garbage isn't left out to attract bears. "It might mean an extra few trips to the dump." with the ruling. Over the course of the hear ing, Wolch called a 1 number of witnesses who testified Sheldon had been an exemplary prisoner, having only minor run-ins with prison officials and earning 'a university degree by correspondence During his final submission, Wolch asked the jury to honestly address the role of prison terms in the rehabilitation and punishment of convicts.

Crown attorney Bill Morton, who prosecuted the original case over a decade ago, asked the jurors if they were convinced Sheldon had changed during his prison term. "This wasn't just a murder," he told court. "It was a horrify-' ing crime. Not only was it a murder, but it was a brutal murder of a child. Morton added Sheldon has exhibited signs of a sexual preference for young girls during psychological testing.

He added the man waited until 1987 to get treatment for his problems, in-' stead choosing to complete his education. Barring that, Faber said, the best form of punishment would be a two- to three-year jail term with a lengthy period of probation upon release. But Judge Gordon Rennie agreed with Crown prosecutor Sharron Prowse-O'Ferrall and sentenced Williamson to six years in jail. "He is apparently psychotic and is described as having the potential for violence," Rennie said. City police report three bear sightings in the city Wednesday.

He said the inquiry Peterson called is too narrow. But Peterson rejected Rae's demand, saying the kind of inquiry Rae proposed could take "five or 10 years" and raises question of policy better dealt with by the legislature.

Also Wednesday, the Liberal majority handily defeated a Tory non-confidence motion 86 to 24 that accused the government of failing to deal with problems arising out of Starr's actions. allowing laid-off production workers to move to the tube division in a similar layoff situation.

Morin arrived at the sidewalk simultaneously Mayor Henry Dayday, chairman of the police commission, wrote in a letter to Morin's lawyer Barry Singer. "Like having someone's fist meet someone's face simultaneously," said Singer. Information from Morin, a witness and police statements contradict the police investigation about the collision, Singer said. Rather than appeal to the provincial police commission, Singer said he will file a suit against the city. Doctors grafted skin onto Morin's severely burned left calf from his right thigh two months ago.

His legs are still bandaged although he can now walk a little. "I'm trying to walk," he said, adding he isn't optimistic about getting a summer job because "no one will want to hire me if I'm not able to move around too well." Rare honor In 1923, L.

(CP) A school board on Vancouver Island voted unanimously Wednesday night to put condom dispensing machines in both of its high schools. Loretta Nichols, chairman of the Qualicum school board, said the machines will be installed in male and female washrooms. The machines are scheduled to be in place by the time school reopens in September. Students from Grade 9 to Grade 12 will be able to obtain a condom by inserting coins into a machine.

The trustees stayed away from heavy debates on the religious and moral aspects of making condoms available to young people, Nichols said. "We decided on the machines purely on a health aspect not on moral or religious grounds although it was in the back of our minds. We did not consider the machines for lower secondary schools." She said the five trustees approved the machines after parents and pupils swamped the board with petitions favoring 1 the move. But not all residents were pleased with the decision. Said alderman Abe Dueck: "Sin has not changed they should be dispensing education instead of condoms."
