1999, February 5 (Friday) * Victoria Park Gay-Bashing (1997, July 10): Pre-Sentencing Session

On P.B2 of the The Record, 1999, February 6, Saturday Final Edition, was an article by Dianne Wood (Record staff) entitled “Crown wants men jailed for gay-bashing”. This article appears to describe court proceedings from the previous day (1999, February 5, Friday). The article began “Hate crimes can't be tolerated, a prosecutor said Friday in asking for a six-month jail term for two Kitchener men who attacked homosexuals in Victoria Park in 1997.” Assistant Crown attorney Susan Howard spoke in Kitchener provincial court about the atmosphere of fear and intimidation that such attacks create in the gay community, and indicated that jail terms would help lessen that fear. The two defendants, John Tait, 22, and Paul Stephens, 24, had pled guilty in 1998 to assault and assault causing bodily harm in this case. The judge, Colin Westman agreed that the six-month sentences were appropriate but wanted more time to decide whether they should be served in a reformatory or in the community. The article indicated that one of the victims required surgery for a broken jaw and needed six months off his job to deal with the “emotional devastation” that followed the attack. The article also noted that Tait was six feet four in height and a boxer, and Stephens was a rugby player.

1999, February 15 (Monday) * Victoria Park Gay-Bashing (1997, July 10): Sentencing

On p.A1 of The Record, 1999, February 16, Tuesday First Edition, was an article by Dianne Wood (Record staff) entitled “Two K-W men jailed for attacking gay in park”. The article began as follows. “A judge sentenced two Kitchener ‘bullies’ to six months in jail Monday for what he called a cowardly and vicious attack on a gay man in Kitchener's Victoria Park. Although both John Tait, 22, and Paul Stephens, 24, come from good homes and have no criminal record, Judge Colin Westman rejected their lawyers' requests to sentence them to house arrest.” In passing sentence the judge indicated that crimes against minority groups deserved jail sentences so that all minority groups “can feel safe and others will be deterred from such attacks.” The victim who had required surgery as a result of the attack felt pleased with the sentence and hoped that it would indeed have some deterrent value. The judge said that the attack was particularly awful since the attackers were very athletic and the victim who was hurt the most was much smaller in size. He also ordered the defendents to be placed on two years probation.

1999, September 12 * Friends of Dorothy Bowling League Founded

Diane Kilby prepared a document on the history of the Friends of Dorothy Bowling League from its inception on September 12, 1999 to the end of Season 6 on May 15, 2005. The document contains the names of most participants in any given season, the team names, and also various events sponsored by the League. Some of that information is included in this chronology. We begin with information on the first season. “Season 1: 1999-2000. League Founded by Phil Vandermolen who acted as league executive for most of the year. The first full elected executive would be in Season 2. 1st day of league bowling: September 12, 1999. Season: September 12, 1999 to June 2, 2000. 1st bowling in January was January 9, 2000.” The league began with two teams: Right Up Dorothy's Alley and Pink Tornadoes. Later that year, 3 more teams were added: Alley Divas, Gutter Girls, and Toto's Revenge, for a total of 5 teams and 22 bowlers. During the first season, on May 13, 2000 there was a charity fundraising tournament. At the close of the season, on June 10, 2000, there was a Bowling Banquet at a member's home.

As Parrott says: “Evangelical Science was right all along. Sexuality isn't something you're born with. It's really a learned behaviour. And believe me, we have some very good teachers at the SSN.”
