Council defends lights By CasNews Staff Castlegar council recently defended its new traffic lights at Columbia Ave. and 17th St. Works and services committee chairman Ald. Carl Henne called it simply a “fluke” that the lights were recently stuck on red because the railway crossing lights were stuck. “I hope it doesn’t happen again.” Henne said drivers are starting to get used to the light and it “seems to be working very well.” Ald. Len Embree added, “The alternatives that we have are fairly limited.” He said drivers will have to get used to driving through the town at a slower pace. “We just can’t go from the south end . . . to the north end in 10 minutes like we used to 10 years ago. . . It's going to take time to get through the city safely.” Meanwhile, Henne said school buses will no longer be stopping at the railway crossing. He said the buses were creating problems by pro- ceeding through the traffic light and then stopping just before the railway crossing. Henne said he pointed out to the Castlegar school district that the buses are not required to stop if the railway crossing is controlled by a traffic light. However, Mayor Audrey Moore said it will take time for the message to filter down to the bus drivers. She said she nearly rear-ended a bus this week that proceeded through the light and then stopped at the railway crossing.

TORONTO (CP) — There were 168,646 violent trimes committed in Canada in 1962 — one for every 150 of violent erime are a daily part of drama magnifies the reality. As a result, are Canadians more worried than they need be about falling victim to violent crime? Violent crime — rape, muggings, and robbery — is not escalating at a high rate in Canada, but public anxiety about it is. Calls for crime prevention advice are increasing daily, police say. And Canadians believe their country is more violent than it actually is, a recent Gallup poll shows. Most are convinced that at least 30 per cent of all crimes involve violence, while less than 10 per cent actually do, the poll showed. Toronto psychologist Anthony Doob agrees most people over-estimate the amount of ctime with violence and in some cases they “are modifying their way of life to deal with a problem that isn’t there.” “It's good that there's concern about violence, but they (the public) shouldn't see violence as an everyday part of life,” Doob says. MAY BE HEALTHY Cpl. Michael Raynham, a crime prevention spokes. man with Ontario Provincial Police, says a realistic “fear factor” may be healthy “It's good that the awareness of crime is increasing and people are taking steps to protect themselves,” Raynham said in an interview He warns, however, that “taken too far, everybody would live in solid cement houses with one barred door.” Police focus their crime prevention efforts on the fine line between realistic protection of self and property and “scaring people,” Raynham says. “We try to avoid generating fear about violent crime.” But in particular areas where the rate of violent crime is documented, an acute public perception of the risk of violence is beneficial. It's that public perception — fed in large part by the prominence of violent crime in media reports — that has increased the number of people looking for erime pre- vention advice, Raynham says. Police field more and more galls every day from people wanting to protect their homes, businesses and families from violent crime, he saya: REFLECTS U.S. Doob, director of the University.of Toronto's centre of criminology, said there is a long tradition in Canada of believing that violent behavior south of the border is reflected in this country. But, he says, “it's pretty safe” in Canada, where the rate of violent crime is about one-quarter of what it is in the United States. Statistics Canada figures show 670 homicides across Canada in 1982 — a three-per-cent increase over 1981. Even so, homicides accounted for less than half of one per cent of all the 168,646 crimes of violence committed in 1982. “I don't think 670 homicides is something we should be pleased ubout,” Doob says. “That's 670 horrible stories.” But, “if you have a country of 23 million people, every once in a while something terrible happens.” At 192, Quebec had the highest number of murders in 1982; Ontario had the largest percentage increase in murders at eight per cent, and the two provinces combined accounted for 376 murders — almost half of the country’s total. KILL MORE OFTEN The Statistics Canada figures for 1982 — the most recent ones available show men killed seven times more often than women. And the majority of murder victims — 66 per cent — were men. Firearms were the weapons of choice, used in 37 per cent of all killings. Women more commonly stabbed their victims. Two-thirds of the homicide suspects were in their 20s or 30s; almost half of all homicide victims were in the same age range. Approximately 80 per cent of the 1982 killings happened in domestic, social or business situations and involved people who knew each other. . OTTAWA (CP) — Most elementary school teachers ‘are unqualified to teach sci ‘ence, the Science Council of Canada sdys in a report which emphasizes an urgent need for improved science education in all grades. The 66-page report, re- leased today, points to a wide range of problems which must be addressed in a “re. newal” of science education. And it urges provincial ed ucation ministries and school boards to act on its 47 rec ommendations immediately, warning that “any delay in renewing our science edu- cation systems threatens the country’s capacity to parti- cipate in a changing world. “If we as a society fail to understand the interaction of science, technology and so- ciety, we surrender control of the most potent forces shap- ing our world to a tech- industry. world is changing,” dent the d here as in the United States, where many of the best sci- ence teachers have either burned out or left to work for “while the picture (in Can- ada) by no means black, the Smith said, emphasizing the need to tackle the problem soon.
