B4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 25, 1981 My MOM SAYS I'M ENOUGH TO BO ne Crime prevention By LOIS HUGHES Managing Editor Four-way stops, police walking a beat and esablish- ing a neighborhood watch were among the many sug- gestions put forward Thurs- day evening when close to 50 persons attended a Crime Prevention Forum address- ing a 10-person panel repre- senting a cross section of the community. Staff Sgt. John Stevens said most calls to the local police come from neighbors and in effect are working like a neighborhood watch. He called attention to the Mayor Audrey Moore ex- plained the legality of speed bumps which makes the city directly responsible for an accident and said such law- suits have already occurred in other cities. Norman Field expressed the opinion each problem should be looked at separate- ly keeping a positive attitude to solving it. He felt four-way stop signs and police walking the beat in known spots where drinking and vandal- lism occur would help. While some stated more signs were only more targets for vandalism, one person Pp now pos- sible when calling the local RCMP telephone number at any hour of the day. In off hours the calls are picked up by a_ central 24-hour service in Nelson and immediately relayed to a patrolling police officer. He said when the force is notified of an unoccupied home it makes. a point of checking that neighborhood periodically. “Break and entries are not that great in Castlegar,” he said, stating there were roughly 50 in the last nine months, none with a set pat- tern. “Rod Irwin of Regional Recreation Commission No. 1 acknowledged the commis- sion’s activities were not that youth-oriented. He said a feasibility study had been made regarding a youth cen- tre taking a poll at Stanley Humphries Secondary School. “The poll indicated a youth centre would be used but it would be expensive,” he said. “It is probably because of the money involved,” he said, “that it (the poll) has been accepted as a report for information without any fur- ther action. “Dollars,” says Irwin, “are also a prime factor in who polices the complex. “During the Rebel games it is the junior hockey's club's resonsibility. “When we police, you are looking at someone wanting $8 to $10 an hour. With the club, it is generally someone who volunteers,” he said. One mother spoke of her young child's near accident involving a speeding car and suggested speed bumps on some city streets. Not seeking PC Party © ieadership - GUELPH, ONT. (CP) — Former external affairs min- ister Flora MacDonald says she would go back to that portfolio and “pick up the threads where I left off” rather than seek the leader- ship of the Progressive Con- servative party. In an address Saturday to about 50 people at the Zonta International Club, MacDon- ald also said she approves the Prime Minister Trudeau's ef- forts to establish a North- South dialogue to assist un- derdeveloped countries. But she said Trudeau has not explained the issue prop- erly to the average Canadian. “Canadians have a latent desire to be part of foreign policy,” she said, citing Can- ada's acceptance of 50,000 boat people, but added for- eign policy has to be ex- plained in terms Canadians can understand and accept.

(AP) — A county judge's ruling barring an abortion for an 11-year-old girl has drawn praise from the child's mother and a vow by an anti-child-abuse group to seek the judge's removal. Kalamazoo County Pro- bate Judge Donald Halstead said an abortion would not be in the best interest of the girl, who is almost 24 weeks pregnant by her mother's boy-friend. forum held shots at him and he had a black eye and a bruised rib for doing his civic duty.

John Stevens, Downtown Busi- nessmen’s Association repre- sentative Burt Campbell, Ma- yor Audrey Moore, Regional District Central Kootenay Nelson Pelletier, the girl's court-appointed lawyer, said he has not decided whether to appeal. Brian Caplan, law- yer for the girl's father, said he will not challenge the ruling, although his client wanted the chlid to undergo the abortion. “We won,” the girl’s moth- er told the Detroit Free Press after the ruling. “We feel good about that.” The newspaper did not identify the owman. ISSUES WARNING But a Kalamazoo anti-child- abuse group called Children's Help in Legal Defence issued a statement vowing to work to remové the judge from office. “We feel Judge Halstead's decision to oppose an abor- tion fof this 11-year-old child reflected his own personal feelings toward the issue of abortion, rather than the bet interest of the child.” said Phyllis Marsh, chairman of the group. “This is a prime these young offenders. “It is not quite as easy as it’ sounds,” she said, “they are are in need of close super- vision and there are not many of these kinds of jobs." Mayor Moore called atten- tion to a seminar she had at- tended in Cranbrook in June Martin V and John Voykin, Russell Rilkoff of KJSS, SHSS Prime Minister Linda De Costa and teacher Richard Dodds of SHSS.

Disarmament Week was established ‘by a special ses- sion of the United Nations General Assembly. in 1978, explains Ted Bristow, co- ordinator of Castlegar's dis- armament committee. “What impresses me,” says Bristow, “is that 126 nations have agreed that disarma- ment with security is ‘pos sible, and that steps toward disarmament have been out- lined by the U.N. Most of us think disarmament is the ini- possible dream, but the peo- ple who know say it’s just a matter of doing it.” “That's where Disarma-* ment Week comes in,” con- tinues Bristow. “The U.N. has advised governments to inform their people, through’ the media and schools and other publicity, about their proposals for disarmament, so that citizens in various countriés will in turn tell their governments to get on with the job.” Asked what the Canadian government has done to pro- mote the U.N. proposals, Bristow says, “As far as I can tell, nothing. It’s volunteer non-government groups and local committees such as ours that do the promoting.” “This is not to say that our government doesn't believe in disarmament,” continues Bristow. “Prime Minister Trudeau's strategy to suffo- cate the arms race can only be. applauded, and Canada even ‘has ‘an ambassador for But di nesday and Thursday this week, both at the college at 12:80 noon., “Last year we sent 400 signatures to Ottawa,” says Bristow. “The reply we got shows they didn’t read our petition very carefully. I suggest that this year indi- viduals simply write “The Prime Minister, Parliament Buildings, Ottawa, Ontario, and ask, ‘What is the Cana- dian committment toward disarmament?’ Sych letters will show our concern, and the answers will make us a bit more informed on the subject.as well.” GANDER, NFLD. (CP) —* A provincial cabinet minister and the presient of a local Progressive Conservative as- sociation told the Newfound- land Tory party's annual convention Saturday they are unhappy with Joe Clark's leadership. Forestry Minister Charlie Power, member of the legis- lature for Ferryland, and Betty Tubrett, president of the Grand Falls PC Associ- ation, said it was time some- body replaced Clark. Power made his position known in interviews with re- porters while Tubrett chose a party luncheon sponsored by the federal Tories for her comments. National party president Peter Blaikie of Montreal had just finished chastising the media in a brief luncheon “There's a lot to learn on the subject, but it's not that complicated,” says Bristow. “The world faces the choice of disarming, or risking anni- hilation. Of wasting. re- sources on weapons it hopes to scrap, or of investing in improving life on earth and thereby increasing security. Disarmament is workable, policeable, and not to try is suicidal. It’s not some naive idealists who say this, but the leaders of the nations of the world. That's what you find out when you study the information. f Unhappy with speech for paying too much attention to alleged ‘lead- ership problems when Tub- rett rose to speak. Blaikie said he has the im- pression the media are trying to bore the public to death with stories about leadership problems within the party. “There always have been people within the party who wanted a new leader; that's not new,” Blaikie said. “I challenge the media to do the same kind of exam- ination of the Liberal and New Democratic Party lea- dership.” As former finance minister John Crosbie, MP for St. John’s West and chairman of the luncheon, was about to adjourn the gathering, Tub- rett stood to speak. -“I don’t feel Clark is going ae needs to become a very high priority, and not just another mother and applie pie subject.” - The Castlegar group regu- larly receives information about disarmament issues, and is hoping to share this information with others. “Just ask,” says Bristow. “We had hoped. to.de more | "during. this week.” ‘on, “but some of the promo- tional material still hasn't ar- rived.

Wi Clark Reefer | Olson remanded again | BURNABY (CP) — Ac- cused killer Clifford Robert Olson was remanded for one more week again Friday, but not before provincial court Judge Selwyn Romilly voiced concern about how long it was taking the case to pro- ceed. Olson, a 41-year-old Co- quitlam, B.C. construction worker charged with first- degree murder in the deaths of 10’ young people, was in the tiny courtroom for the sixth consecutive week. ~ Romilly told senior Bur- naby prosecutor Robert Lem- iski that “it’s high time a preliminary hearing was set Clark to win (an election) and if we had John Crosbie then we might be able to do some- thing,” she said. . Crosbie. said every party member is entitled to an opinion and with that the luncheon ended. Earlier in the day Power said he would do nothing at the convention, which ended Saturday, to unseat Clark but he would work at the dis- ‘trict level to start a move- ment to find a new leader. Meanwhile, Clark arrived in Gander after lunch and was to address an evening banquet along with Premier Brian Peckford.

Two weeks ago, Hall said he hoped to set a trial date by the end of the month, in- dicating he likely would proceed by direct indictment — moving directly to a trial and bypassing a preliminary hearing.
