Because of the work of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Compensation Board, the victim is no longer the one person who is overlooked when a crime is committed. Bowmanville Rotarians were told last week that the board' paid $2.5 million in compensation to victims of crime occurring in Ontario last year. It processed close to 1,3000 applications. "Not frequently in the public public mind, the interests of the offender seem to be placed over the victim," said John Sheard, a representative of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Compensation board who spoke last Thursday to the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club. Mr. Sheard is chief investigator investigator for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. He pointed out that when a crime is committed, it costs large amounts of money to not only prosecute the accused criminal but also safeguard his rights to a trial and keep him in a correctional institution institution if he is convicted. The victim of violent crimes such as armed robbery often faces problems such as a loss of income or psychological trauma. Often, the victim cannot enjoy life in a normal fashion after a crime has been committed. The concept of compensation compensation for victims is not new, Mr. Sheard pointed out. In fact, even in 7th Century Britain, laws stressed compensation for a crime. But gradually, the concept of punishment replaced replaced compensation and this left victims only the remedy of launching civil proceedings following a crime. In 1968, the Criminal Injuries Injuries Compensation Board was established in order to assist victims who sustained injury resulting from a crime. The legislation would assist a person, who was, for example shot in an armed robbery or injuried while assisting a police officer. A 13-member board consi-. ders individual applications for compensation: These members are part-time officials, officials, while a full-time chairman chairman also serves on the board. In addition, the decisionmakers decisionmakers are assisted by a small staff which includes investigators. The board offers lump sum payments of up to a maximum of $15,000. Monthy compensation compensation up to a maximum of $500 is permitted. Mr. Sheard noted that crimes covered by this protection protection are only those pertaining to the Criminal Code. In awarding compensation, the board will consider, for example, whether the victim may have contributed to his injuries through his own actions. Not all applications are granted. Hearings of the board are generally open to the public. Today, all Canadian provinces provinces have the equivalent of Ontario's Criminal Injuries Compensation Board, which operates as a branch of the Ministry of the Attorney General. Mr. Sheard, who is chief investigator for the board, was speaking to Rotary Club members in place of Allan Grossman, chairman of the board. Due to the funeral of former premier John Robarts, .Mr. Grossman was unable to attend the meeting. The speaker was introduced by Durham East MPP and Rotary Club member, Sam Cureatz and thanked by Rotarian A1 Strike. "True Concessions", is the title of a display at the Bowmanville Library which featured a review of the role played by roads in the development of the community. The project was undertaken by Bill Humber, of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC). Mr. Humber will talk about the display in more detail on Wednesday, October 27 at the Visual Arts Centre, commencing at eight p.m. Here, Cathie Humber, chairman of the LACAC committee, looks over the exhibit with Doug Abbott, head of the Bowmanville branch of the Town of Newcastle's libraries. The display is intended to help inform the public of the work done by LACAC and included a questionnaire which the public was invited to complete. One of the roles of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee is to recommend the designation of buildings having historical and architectural significance.

With $271,422 donated to date, Hugh Holland, Campaign Campaign Chairman, stated that he appreciated the excellent response, but that much remained to be done to raise the full total required. "We must accelerate our canvassing and continue to emphasize the 'Fair Share Guide' - which recommends an individual give 15 minutes pay per week to the United Way through the payroll deduction plan."
