CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 6, 1983 Citizen group to fight crime VANCOUVER (CP) — Eighteen-year-old Wayne Willoughby hasn't had a fight in his life — yet he has or- ganized a Vancouver chapter of New York's citizen crime fighters, the Guardian An- “Some people, Reppert old people, are scared to walk the streets at night,” says the slightly-built Willoughby. “We'll be there to help them. We'll let the punks know that they can’t rob or rape.” Willoughby says seven members of the Guardian Angels from Portland, Ore., will be on city streets Friday to test public opinion and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa will be in town July 18. He said his lack of exper- tise can be corrected with the kind of training fledgling groups receive from. other Guardian Angels. But his assessment of Van- couver's crime problem isn't shared by Vancouver police Insp. Noel Larkin, the head of the downtown eastside unit, “If I lived in New York I'd want the Guardian Angels, too. But in Vancouver we just don't have that kind of street crime.” “There is no pub in this city where a policeman couldn’t go alone and make an arrest,” said Larkin, add- Telephone 365-5210 Brian L.

Surely, in- stead of having to create a civilian force to handle this problem’ society should get behind the police and change the law,” he said.

Larkin said he met Sliwa following his walkabout in Vancouver and he said Sliwa noted that the Granville Mall area was a mess. “I agreed with him. There are a lot of kids selling soft drugs, but I don't worry about my wife walking down there during the day,” Larkin said. FEELS THERE IS NEED In a telephone interview from his Bronx headquarters, Sliwa said he allowed the chapter to proceed because he feels there is a need and the Portland chapter prom- ised to trail Willoughby’s outfit. “When I was in Vancouver last year I saw a lot of kids hanging around New York- style in the Granville Mall area and we all know what that leads to,” said Sliwa. “We want to stop the cycle these kids get into.” Sliwa, who made the Guar- dian Angels’ reputation fight- ing crime in New York's sub- way system has spread the Angels’ doctrine to many American cities since he founded the organization in 1979. Sliwa’s “troops” are un- armed and are trained only to intervene and prevent vio- lence by force of numbers. They make citizen's arrests and are prepared to go to court as witnesses. Willoughby said training would take three months and would consist of martial arts, first aid and Canadian law. So far, the Guardian An- gels are operating in Wind- sor, Toronto and Montreal.

A picket line was estab- lished Friday at the utility's head office at Waneta Plaza in Trail. But Trotter said he expects union members to picket the other 12 district offices from Creston to Ker-' emeos — including Castlegar — starting tomorrow (Mon- day). Company spokesman Jack sd pany plans to continue to offer full service. Fisher said he hopes that supervisory and mana- gerial personnel will be able to pick up the slack left by striking office workers. But he said that a prolonged strike will have some effect on billing. “We hope not, we hope managers and supervisory personnel will be able to handle the load,” he added. _ But that could change if electrical workers refuse to cross picket lines when they spread to district offices at other operations. .
