The 22-year-old victim said in an interview Wednesday she brought the lawsuit be- cause she had been wronged and deserved compensation. She says the sexual abuse by her father, who is a mem- ber of the Canadian Armed Forces, started when she was 10. It continued for six years until she called the Children’s Aid Society and was removed from the home.

Althoughthe woman's mo- ther didn't participate in the abuse, she was sued because it was felt she knew or should have known what was going on and done something to stop it. LeVasseur says her client has suffered a setback in her education because of the abuse, which forced her pen- niless from her home in her teens. Soviet trips planned JERUSALEM (REUTER) — Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said Satur- day night the Soviet Union understands a planned visit to Israel by a Soviet dele- gation should be followed by a reciprocal trip to Moscow by Israeli officils. “It is our right to ask for reciprocity,” Shamir said in a speech to U.S. Jewish fund- raisers. “There will be an Israeli delegation to Russia if Soviet delegations come here. “We haven't determined the time but the Soviet authorities understand that our relations will be based on reciprocity,” he said. Soviet Foreign>-Ministry- spokesman Gennady Gerasi- mov said Thursday a Soviet consular delegation will visit Israel to inspect Soviet- owned property. He denied a statement by Meir Rosenne, Israel's am- bassador to the United States, that an Israeli dele- gation will pay a reciprocal visit to Moscow. The Soviet Union severed ties with Israel during the 1967 Middle East war and Is- raeli leaders said the Kremlin can participate in regional peace efforts only after it restores relations. In the speech, Shamir said there is no evidence to con- firm assessments by. U.S. Jewish leaders that up to 12,000 Jews will be allowed to leave the Soviet Union this year. JOIN WEIGHT WATCHERS NOW!

Press rules eased MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin's new policy of openness is allowing Soviet writers to use state-run newspapers as their battleground for an agrument about history, the impatience of youth and ‘the policy itself. At the centre of the dispute are Moscow News and Ogonyk, two weekly publications that recently tackled such previously forbidden subjects as Soviet vagrants and. police brutality. A group of more conservative and generally older members of the Russian republic's Writers Union took Moscow News and Ogonyok to task at a March meeting. The newspaper Literaturnaya Rossiya published their comments on March 27. The feud and the fact that it is appearing in Soviet newspapers are both signs of “glasnost,” Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of more openness on selected topics. The arguments range from calls for more openness and frank criticism to. the cautious approach of writers: who h under diti ofmore limited Writers from the Russian republic scolded the Moscow News, a newspaper published largely for foreign readers, for printing an interview critical of Vasily Belov, an author who writes about life in the countryside. Their comments algqg were peppered with cautions to the young generation, ‘A separate argument began on the pages of Ogonyok, where poets Nikolai Gribachev and Yevgeny Yevtushenko traded accusations about the end of the period of liberalization almost a quarter-century ago. Moscow News asked critic T. Tolstaya about what it said was Belov's fierce Opposition to women’s liberation. Tolstaya replied: “Looking upon a woman as an evil vessel betrays one’s hypocrisy, which is especially unworthy in a master like Belov.” The effect of a recent book by Belov was misanthropic, she said. P. Proskurin, a member of the secretariat of the Writers’ Union, accused Tolstaya of using the “methods of hooliganism” and said the question posed by Moscow News was a provocation. “This is invonceivable — to call a writer who is among those called the conscience of Russia misanthropic,” he wrote.

Yet it is no secret that some hack work used to pass as classics, too, and were declared models for emulation — instead of objects for critical analysis.” It referred to authors who are successful because their material supports the party line rather than because of artistic merit. Proskurin also accused the publishers of Ogonyok of favoring a clique of writers. Ogonyok is a glossy magazine that recently has published articles about Soviet hobos, police brutality and a street gang from a Moscow suburbs known as the Lyubers. MENTION ON NAMES. The -chairman of the secretariat of the Russian republic's Writers Union, C. Mikhailov, did not name any publications. “Criticism sometimes goes to the point that in the press we read words of an insulting character addressed to those people who have done more than a little for Soviet authority,” he wrote. “This has to stop.” Ina letter to Ogonyok, Gribachev accused Yevtushenko of “elementary dishonesty” in an article about a March 1963 meeting that ended the period of greater artistic freedom under then-Soviet leader NIkita Khrushchev. At that time, Yevtushenko was one of a group of young poets who were demanding more artistic freedom and writing about previously forbidden subjects. Gribachev was a member of the literary establishement. Vevtushenko criticized writers “who, losing their posts and influence with the development of glasnost, tried to accuse of all deadly sins other writers who were disagreeable to them, among them poets of our generation.” Another member of.the Writer's Union secretariat, M. Alekseev, spoke of Nazi Germany's invastion of the Soviet Union during the Second World War and reminded young people of the older generation's ideals and responsibilities. “If literature and art had not raised in us a moral wall, we would have died,” he wrote. “We had a great ideal. But what kind of ideals have they, today's youth, who don't “WHO YA GONNA ee? CRIMESTOPPERS.

He gestures to the street below: “If I was on the street, I would think twice about committing a crime if I know someone was going to phone in on me.” ‘The Vancouver program started in January 1985 with the televised re-enactment of the murder of a taxi driver, Frank Gold. Since then, an unsolved crime has been featured every week. A local television station produces the 90-second episodes at no charge. ARREST SNOWBALL Harkema recalls one week when a video-store “armed robbery was featured. As a result, seven ther similar robberies were solved that week — all from phoned-in tips. The anonymity guaranteed to callers is the program's * distinguishing feature. Callers are assigned code numbers ‘and do not have to give their names, It's up to them to call back later, and if the information leads to an arrest there is a reward — usually about $300 but ranging up to $2,000 depending on the nature of the crime. A community board raises the money and handles the pe “hed of cash. Board president Jean Hindmarch stresses that the deliveries must be handled discreetly to protect the anonymity of informants. It's all done in the manner of a spy novel rendezvous. STREET DISCREET “I would pick a safe place, somewhere like a busy street corner,” she says. “T used to wear a blue raincoat — that was my identification — and wait for someone to come up and give me the right code number. I'd hand over the envelope of money. Then they’d go their way and I'd go mine.” Hindmarch and Harkema agree that paying people pl information, whether they are good citizens or criminals, is fair deal. The money and anonymity are incentives to pope who would otherwise be reluctant to report on crime. “Over half the people who witness criminal activity won't come forward in the conventional way,” says. “There is no way they want to go to court, but they want to feel good about themselves.” And he says there's nothing wrong with criminals informing on their colleagues. “Why should a criminal not phone on another criminal? It's the only good thing they ever do, basically.” Officer forced to pull gun EDMONTON (CP) — A experience, said he slumped vyMiary yaa! b A Harketha ' This Week CLEANERS Phone 365-6146 Week of April 13 to 16 MAKE YOUR APPT.

There was a good turn out. A very successful coffee party and luncheon was held for St. Patrick's Day. There was lots of entertainment and nobody wanted to leave. Three of the Old Time Fid- dlers supplied the music for the event. A new telephone has been installed in our kitchen and we hope it will eliminate confusion in the lounge when catering is going on. Anyone wishing to get in touch with the Ladies Auxiliary for ca- tering jobs can call the new number. Wy Legion ladies hold meeting A microwave has been purchased for our kitchen and we hope to have it in use shortly. The material has been or- dered for a new floor in our kitchen. Today is the Spring zone council in Nelson. A tea will be held at the Legion on April 11 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 and we hope everyone will come out and support a worthy cause. A flea market will be held May 9 and anyone wishing to rent a table should contact Dorothy Fleming. We are also catering for a pancake breakfast on July 4 and 5 at the Community Complex for the Bantam girls ball teams. wounded police officer re- cited the Lord’s Prayer and gave first-aid instructions to onlookers moments after he fatally shot a knife-wielding attacker, a fatality inquiry has been told. Const. Jeffrey Wilks said that blood was pouring down his face from one of five stab wounds when he pulled his gun and fired the shots that ended an assault by Philippe Forest, 29. “At that point it was al- most as if a little boy said to me: ‘Jeff, you have a gun,’ ” Wilks said. “It hadn't oc- curred to me before that. “I drew the gun out of my holster and brought it shoulder high. I pointed it at Philippe and fired it as fast as I could pull the trigger until he hit the ground. “It was clear to me what his intentions were and what my options were. He was going to continue to stab me until I was dead.” Wilks, a trained emer- to his knees, put the gun back in his holster and told neigh- bors to call an ambulance and apply pressure to a gushing stab wound on his forehead. The 26-year-old police of- ficer’s lungs had been punc- tured with a carving knife, and he said he began to black out as a passerby comforted him. SAID PRAYER “Everything started to get dark. At that point I began to say the Lord’s Prayer and the gentleman joined me.” Earlier, Wilks told the in- quiry how a simple arrest for assault sparked an explosion of violence from Forest,who had a history of dangerous mood changes and savage outbursts. “I placed my hand on his arm and said: ‘You're under arrest for assault.’ The next thing I recall he had a knife in his hand and it occurred to me I had been stabbed.” Wilks said he was stabbed diy as he d gency medical with 14 years of first-a to leave the home.
