Dinner started at 11 a.m. and went until 6 p.m., YOUR AUTOPLAN RENEWAL DATE IS SHOWING. Check the decal on your vehicle licence piate: if it is dated “Feb. 85", it means your Autoplan insurance and licence renewal are due this month. And you'll have plenty of company: about one third of the vehicles on the road in British Columbia carry insurance and plates that expire in February. Be sure to read the information in the guide that is sent to you with your renewal application. It outlines changes to Autopian for 1985, and answers some of the questions most frequently asked about auto insurance. Questions like these, for example: When is my insurance due? If the date on the decal is “Feb. '85", you must have new Autoplan insurance before March 1. You insurance always expires on the last day of the month named on the decal, and new coverage must be in effect on the first of the month following Have my premiums been increased? Probably very little, if at all As a province-wide average, 1985 premiums have risen a maximum of just $25 for more than one million vehicle owners, an average increase of only two per cent —well below the current rate of inflation. In fact, more than half a million B.C. motorists will enjoy a premium reduction of as much as $100 What'determines how much | pay for insurance? The vehicle you drive. your claim record, and the purpose for which your vehicle is used. 'CBC's Claim-Rated Scale is an equitable rating system that provides rewards for motorists who are claim-free and imposes higher premiurns on those who have frequent claims In 1984, more than 1.5 million British Columbians Paid premiums at or below the base rate, while about 13,000 paid higher premiums as a result of claims. How much auto insurance must! carry? Every licenced vehicle in British Columbia must have basic Autoplan coverage, which insures the owner and any other licenced driver who operates the vehicle with the owner's permission. 'Police dragged me’ VANCOUVER (CP) — A Vancouver man whose legs can’t support him because of multiple sclerosis claims po- lice dragged him along the floor and roughly threw him in a jail cell when he -was unable to walk. Dwayne Frick, who filed a formal complaint under the Police Act with Vancouver police Monday, said the inci dent took place last Friday. He had been taken from his home after police responded to a complaint about a loud argument Frick was having with his wife. Frick admits he was drink- ing before police arrived. Frick said that when he was unable to walk he told the policemen that he suf- fered from MS, “but they just _ didn't seem to believe me or care.” The former glazier said he has suffered from MS, a debilitating disease of the nervous system, for the last five years. City police Insp. Mike Far- ren confirmed that the de- partment has received a complaint from Frick alleging mistreatment at the hands of police. Farren said Frick’s allega- tions will be looked into by the police force's internal in- vestigation section. “I never would want to go through that again, or wish it on anyone else,” said Frick, the father of three, who is frequently wheelchair bound. His description of the in- cident is that, with his legs not functioning properly, he was dragged by the collar of his jacket along the floor at police headquarters. He also charges a policeman delib- Waitress awarded $1,250 VICTORIA (CP) — A New Westminster pizza parlor owner has been ordered to pay $1,250 to a former em- ployee after a human rights council ruled that he sexually harassed her. Julie Webb worked as a waitress at Roger Roopra's restaurant,’ Cyprus Pizza, from Jan. 31 to March 19, 1984, the council was told. She filed a complaint that she was forced to quit her job be- cause of harassment and has not been steadily employed since. Rights council member Douglas Wilson found that Roopra touched Webb's hair, put his arm around her and held her against her will, made suggestive remarks, leered, ogled, made sugges- tive gestures, repeatedly aksed Webb for dinner dates, and once asked her to visit a motel with him and view a pornographic movie. Roopra also asked Webb pesonal questions about her sex life, if she was taking birth control pills and if she had ever had an abortion. Wilson stated that Roop- ra’s actions “created a hos- tile, intimidating and offen- sive working environment” and are sexually discrimin- ating. The $1,250 compensation was to pay for Webb's “humiliation and injury of feelings of self-respect.” The complaint was made and heard under the old Human Rights Code, re- placed by the Human Rights Act.

Frick, 27, said police came to his door late Friday night following a complaint from a neighbor disturbed by an argument he was having with his wife. Police have been summoned before during arguments, Frick admits, and he admits, too, he'd been drinking, “though I was far from drunk.” The two constables told him he'd better spend the night elsewhere, Frick said, and when he told them he had nowhere to go they or- dered him to go with them, he said. Frick said he wasn't charged with anything, nor was he ever told his rights. Released the following morning, Frick, who says he has been in and out of hos- pital for treatment of his MS dozens of times, went right to the home of his doctor, who pronounced him in good shape.
