Response to Mr. Kelford's May 29, 2002 letter sent June 8, 2002 copy below.

TO: HOWARD, RYAN KELFORD & KNOTTBarristers & Solicitors2 Main Street East, Smith Falls,Ontario, K7A 1A2

From: Jane ScharfRR 4 Spencerville,KOE 1XO, ON

Dear Mr. Shane Kelford: RE: your letter of May 29, 2002

I have included your letter of May 29, 2002 on my website which accords you a full opportunity to present your position on the May 24, 2002 court hearing to the followers of the site. I am also hereby pledging to put any and all correspondence you send me on my site so that you get equal opportunity to speak. I believe I can achieve this within three days of receiving your documents.

I have to say I do not agree with your account of the situation and I stand by the accuracy of my May 25, 2002 email that concerns you. I never lie either directly or by omission because I believe that I will lose my Karma if I do so. Since I am poor and by societies standards powerless Karma is all I have. My account did show the judge spoke to me negatively but he did not enforce his own order to give back the documents. This is a victory and his actual decision was that he was not going to incarcerate me because he was going to presume that I have good intentions. And no further enforcement instructions were given regarding the documents.

I maintain that the reason my May 25, email comments put your clients in an unfarourable light is not because they are untrue it is because their actions are discrediting and potentially damaging to their business. I do not have to exaggerate or misrepresent facts I simply had to expose the truth. The solution for your clients is to correct their behaviour not to shut me up.

Please note nothing is going to shut me. What I witnessed in the group home re restraints among other things was simply illegal and most definitely wrong. Even now when I think about it my entire being screams for justice and protection of these children. As time moves on I thank God I become more passionately resolute and my courage increases with the love and support so many people are prepared to give me to continue this fight.

In my heart I know what I am doing is right and that justice will be served in the end and the truth will prevail.

It is you that have done your best to include fabrications of fact in your position. For one example from many when you first brought me to court on motion you gave me 22 hours notice. This was in the first week of March after I put out a press release. In this motion you included an affidavit to the court that stated that I was fired then I made a complaint of mistreatment of the children. However, I was able to provide an affidavit on time even with such short notice in which I submitted a copy of an email to Lori Beckstead of February 12, with an outline of complaints which I will include below. And I put the email from Lori Beckstead in response dated February 13 also included below proving that the group home received my complaint several days before I was fired. Then I was fired on February 15, 2002 for bringing my complaint to the Office of the Children and Family Services Advocacy office on February 14, 2002. But you obviously wanted to discredit me to the court by portraying me as a disgruntled x employee. In fact in our March 1, 2002 meeting you threatened to sue me and portray me as a disgruntled x employee so no one would believe me if I went public with this conflict. I reminded you at that time that I made the complaints before I was fired. Nevertheless a few days later you misrepresented this fact to the court in an affidavit stating I was fired first and then complained. I have tapped this conversation. This entire travesty of justice including your oppressive tactics will all come in the wash.

Sincerely, Jane Scharf

HOWARD< RYANKELFORD & KNOTTBarristers & SolicitorsFile No. Y308(K)May 29, 2002Dear Ms. Scharf: RE: Dalhousie Lake Homes for Youth v. Scharf, et al

We have been provided with a copy of your e-mail of May 25, 2002. First let me say how disappointed we are in the content of this document. In particular, it is reprehensible that you would misconstrue the comments of Judge Pedlar so as to suggest that he was somehow supportive of your case.

How convenient that you did not advise the recipients of that e-mail that Judge Pedlar publicly chastised you, in open court, calling your actions in this case "misguided, at best". As you well know, the Judge went on to say "I am not even sure of that". We intend to provide the Judge with a copy of your e-mail.

We note also that you did not advise the recipients that the Judge held that your actions did constitute a continuing contempt of court, but that he chose to punish you by granting my clients motion to stay your proceedings against my clients as an abuse of process. It also not surprising that you did not advise the recipients that I stated, on behalf of my clients, that they had no wish to see you incarcerated, but felt obligated to bring the motion because they are under a statutory duty to protect the confidentiality of the records in question. However, we note that it is typical of your tactics in this matter to misstate the facts and omit to state any facts which cast you in a less than favourable light.

This e-mail came to my attention because it was sent to the South Mountain Unit of the Dalhousie Group Home. We wish to remind you that you are still prohibited by Judge Pedlar's order of April 5, 2002 from "contacting, directly or indirectly...the Plaintiffs' employees...except through the court or any recognized complaint procedures." You are hereby advised not to send any future correspondence to my clients employees or to otherswise contact them directly or indirectly. The next such correspondence will result in further contempt motion.

We have also been advised that you have included disparaging comments about my clients on your website, together with the names and telphone numbers of Lori Beckstead, Troy McNaughton and myself. You are hereby requested to remove those comments and the names and telephone numbers immediately, failing which will bring a motion seeking an order for the removal of that information from the website. Given that you continue to be a contempt of the April 5, 2002 we will also ask the court to exercise its discretion and to refuse to hear submissions from you on these motions until you have satisfied the April 5, 2002 order and cleared your contempt.

Yours faithfully,

HOWARD RAYN KELFORD & KNOTT

To: Howard_Ryan_Kelford_&_KnottFrom: Jane Scharf Subject: Re: Court of Appeal OrderCc: Dalhousie_South_MountainBcc: X-Attachments:

Dear Mr. Kelford:

Your email below does not make much sense to me.

Lori's letter confirmed a resolution to all but the restraint issues.CAS declared no more young children can safely reside in the home so all you had to do (without admitting any wrongdoing) was design a policy to safeguard against children being deliberately hurt in restraint such as Child Adescribed and notify the children and parents of these changes.

I do not see how it is in your clients interest to provoke this conflict further.

However, please be advised that I am prepared to risk arrest to retain thedocuments until the complaint procedures have been exhausted. The reasonis because the Supreme Court test for a stay does not allow the court to considerthat there would be harm to the children if I give back the documents beforethe appeal is heard. The test only allows argument that it would be harmfulto me if the documents are returned.

In the meantime I will not use the documents for any other purposebut the complaint procedures.

And I am prepared to stay in jail until the order is rescinded or untilthe authorities undertake to enforce the laws and policies in placeto protect group home children from assault and excessive use of force.

Sincerely,

Jane Scharf
