has paranoid schizophrenia the serious mental disorder caused him to lose touch with reality according to psychriatric reports defence lawyer terry kelly and pro secutor ed bradley- agreed the only issue in the case was the question of mr phillips sanity mr phillip said voices had ordered him to kill his nephew and set a fire to burn the demons that existed in the boys bedroom although only a few victims of para noid schizophrenia ever become vio lent dr fleming said thats exactly what happened in this case in the psychiatrists opinion mr phil lips had no control over his actions when he

en vironments district officer for durham- york regions ken hogg said that analysis and test drilling at well sites in the north pickering commun ity will be finalized by the middle of october it will then take the consulting firm simcoe engineer ing limited picker ing about a month to compile the test information and present its report in midnovember a draft study on claremonts water system prepared last year indicated that a high percen tage of well systems were unsatisfac tory- private replace ment wells or a com- munal water sys tem are two prop osed solutions a total of four ex- periemental wells are being drilled in the hamlet at a cost of about 88000 the first already com plete is located at claremont public school and the second is now being drilled at the royal canadian legion the other two are to be located on pri vate properties while the town of pickering has also pushed for further investigation into the condition of the hamlets septic sys tem mr hogg said such a study will not proceed at this time he said durham regions depart ment of health ser vices has already monitored the ham lets sewage situa tion and found it not severe enough to warrant further ac tion its the minis trys opinion that there isnt a major private sewage problem in claremont mr hogg said he added that a followup assess ment on sewage could be conducted after completion of the water study durham regional councillor norah stoner said shed like to see the gov ernment fund 75 per cent restora tion of both wels and septic tanks peter gillespie president of the claremont and dis trict community association said he feels the last thing residents want is another study if there were to be a sewage study the community would be concerned with the impact it would have on the passing of the ham lets development plan mr gillespie commented the town is fed up with studies we just want to do a little de velopment and make it a better place to live the hamlet of claremont develop- ment plan sup ported by the town of pickering back in may of 1979 can not receive final approval from the municipality or re gion until the water study is complete mr gillespie feels the delay is having a serious negative in fluence its delaying the development of the commercial core of the hamlet he told the tribune and it has resulted in sub stantial cost to the owners of the prop osed development lands the four prop erties in point situ ated on the north east northwest southeast and south west quadrants represent a total of over 100 new homes this could attract about 400 residents boosting claremonts population over the 1000 mark and in fusing some much- needed vitality mr gillespie said but until this growth is allowed to occur the local real estate agent doesnt feel the hamlet can attract the sort of commercial enter prise many would like to see theres no ques tion people want de velopment mr gil lespie said i think everyone realizes claremont could be the thriving com munity
