The commission is inter- ested in establishing one sys- tem in the province for hand- ling police complaints, Bill Beamish, the commission's executive director, said. “We're particularly inter. ested in amendments to the federal RCMP Act that would establish an all-civilian board to handle complaints,” he said. He said the federal amend- ments are expected to be proclaimed by the fall and could determine what chan- ges are made to British Columbia's Police Act. “T'm not saying this is what we're going to do, but it's something we're examining very closely,” Beamish said. If a civilian board were established, it would not re- place internal investigations of policemen by their peers, he said. Last week, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Ministry said the govern- ment is considering giving the police commission the power to hold its own inves- tigations of complaints. City police chief Bob Ste- wart said Monday he has asked internal investigators to review the case of a 30- year-old Vancouver man who suffered two broken ribs. County court Judge Anne Rowles had ruled that David Edward Cain's injuries “probably resulted from the actions of police,” following his arrest last June 30. The judge said that based on the evidence during Cain's trial on drug charges, she was unable to identify the officers involved in the as- sault. Canned tomato guidelines OTTAWA (CP) — Federal regulations to limit the amount of lead found in canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste will be in force in a matter of days. The new standards are 0.5 parts per million in whole tomatoes and 1.5 parts per million in tomato sauce and paste, products that are more concentrated. The regulations, approved by the federal cabinet last week, are the latest in a series designed to make sure that any lead that leaches out of the lead solder used in making cans is kept within safe levels. Tomatoes and tomato products were added to the list because they are rela- tively acidic and widely used by consumers The Health Department says the regulations will be in force as soon as they are published in the Canada Gaz. ette later this month. ‘FOTO Skeppes 1-Hour Photo Finishing wien tickets Look every Sunday in your . . . as Foe Castlegar News By DAPHNE BRAMHAM VANCOUVER (CP) The Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province share owners, a printing press, a building, a publisher and a potential readership of more than a million in the Vancouver area alone. The two papers carve up the audience. The tabloid Province goes for the morning crowd with heavy emphasis on sports, disasters and crime stories. Few stories run longer than 15 paragraphs. Sentences are short and the writing is cute Cute too is the Smile of the Day, a less racy feature Sun and Province carve up Vancouver than the cheesecake shots favored by some- other Canadian tabloids. The Province asks readers to write in if they want their picture, astrology sign, likes, dislikes and other trivia about themselves in the paper. The Sun is a more traditional evening broadsheet with emphasis on political and institutional news. The stories are longer; the writing style serious. Publisher Gerald Haslam oversees Province which he describes as a newspaper” — and The Sun Sure, I sometimes feel a bit schizophrenic. But you both The “fast-food have to make judgments and allocate resources and each newspaper is sensitive to the other,” Haslam said in his spacious office just off The Province's newsroom and just down the hall from The Sun. IMAGE ‘FUZZY Haslam took over as publisher of the Southam News Ltd. papers last spring. Right after he took over, a readership survey indicated that while The Sun is well read and profitable, “its marketihg-imagé had become fuzzy. People weren't sure what it was or what it wanted to be. But they knew what The Province was.” The Sun, Canada’s fourth-largest paper by circula tion, has since been redesigned. “We are acting this i like we don't own both newspapers,” Haslam said. “Our position is the papers are distinct and so it makes the best sense to have them compete.” The new Sun is reverting to calling itself the Vancouver Sun on the front-page logo. It will use more color photos and even a colored weather map on the otherwise grey classified ads section front. Haslam said the paper will also be better organized. The front section will be devoted to news. The editorial pages will move to the second section because Haslam said the survey suggested readers don't like to have news interrupted with editorial content — “they want a good fix of news first.” Like their publisher, reporters at both papers maintain there is competition to get the story first. Some Sun reporters complain too much time is spend matching stories in The Province and not enough time is spent on more serious reporting PAPERS COMPETE Peter Hall, a journalism instructor at Vancouver Community College, said it would be healthy to have “two truly competing papers going for the bucks. But editorially the papers do that.” Hall said that since The Province went tabloid two years ago, The Sun has had a tendency to do “a little more puffy stuff than it used to, but it’s not a tabby (tabloid) paper.” He also praised The Sun for using the New York Times newswire to beef up its international and U.S. coverage. The opening of Vancouver's rapid transit system in January also set off a flurry of competition in the Pacific Press building. The Province proclaimed itself “Your SkyTrain paper” even going so far as to alter its masthead to inelude the red and blue stripes of the SkyTrain logo. Across the hallway in the other newsroom — separated by the no man's land of the shared library and signs that say ‘No unauthorized admittance’ — The Sun fought back by publishing lessons on how to fold the larger broadsheet so readers won't disturb transit seatmates Haslam said “By my reckoning The Province has not broken even,” but his mandate from Southam is to publish 12 newspapers a week — The Sun from Monday to Saturday and The Province from Sunday to Friday. Circulation at both papers is increasing, although Haslam said The £un's circulation outside Vancouver has dropped off slightly. As a c ost-cutting measure, Haslam said, the evening Sun is trucked to some areas along with the morning Province.
