Ontario Community Newspaper Assoc. Published every Tuesday, by the Mulcahy, Editorial Comment Punishment fits the crime This past weekend, Ontarians got a glimpse of the punishment dealt sex killer Paul Bernardo. Both a daily newspaper and one Ontario television network made public images of Canada's most infamous and universally loathed criminal, passing time in a tiny cell. He paced aimlessly within the confines of his cage, and sat restlessly on a small cot, flicking through the television dial, in search of some diversion. And that, as we all know, will be what he does each and every day for the rest of his life. It is indeed stern punishment, especially for a man whom we learned was so obsessed with impressing and forcing himself onto others. Imagine spending a day or a week in such confinement, let alone months and years, with the prospect of many more months and years. - Soon after Bernardo"s conviction, there were -- as was to be expected -- some calls for a re- examination of the death penalty. It is an issue that arises from time to time, most typically in the face of heinous crimes like those committed by Bernardo. The debate forces us to think on our reactions to crime, and actions we as a people are willing to take to punish and deter criminals. Would it be right to execute Paul Bernardo for his crimes? Before answering yes, think: The punishment handed him by the system is thorough, just, and even compassionate. He - has been spared his life, but will now spend the remainder of his days paying heavily for his actions, and the pain he has caused. Of course, the sentence given Bernardo's wife, Karla Homolka, is much more questionable. A review is necessary, soon. Seven Gentlemen To the Editor: Jean Kennedy was appreciated and respect- ed by each of us who knew her as a colleague at Port Perry High School, through the Scugog Choral Society or through special community projects which Jean was involved with. When we conceived of the idea of paying tribute to this very special Lady of Scugog by preparing a recital for performance at the Town Hall, we had no idea that the response would be so won- derful. The tickets were sold out within days of going on sale. PHOTO COURTESY FRED SPENCER LATER...
