is our water supply."

Grabbing film called outrageous

EDMONTON
Highhanded -
authoritarianism of the
worst kind.

That was the. reaction
Wednesday by publishers
Bill Bagshaw and J. P.
O'Callaghan to an incident
Tuesday in which two
newspaper photographers
who had taken pictures at a
jail hostage-taking had their
film confiscated.

The Edmonton Sun will
ask fora public apology from
Solicitor-General Roy
Farran, said Bagshaw, who
called the incident ‘‘in-
tolerable” and “typical of
Farran’s attitude.” .

O'Callaghan asked for a
emergency meeting of the
Alberta Press Council,
saying, ‘We have no in-
tention of standing by and
allowing the goon mentality
to surface as an obstruction

to those who have every
right to report what is hap-
pening within our in-
stitutions.”

Edmonton Journal
lawytrs asked for a meeting
with the attorney-genera!'s
department to see whether
charges should be laid in
connection with the incident.

Ron Collister, Sun editor,
issued a statement asking
for public assurance in the
legislature that such in-
cidents will not happen
again.

Film was taken from
Journal photographer Colin
Shaw, 37, and from Sun

ographer Tom Walker
following a hostage incident
that began Tuesday morning
at the Fort Saskatchewan
Correctional Institute, just
northeast of the city.

Big profit seen

in small

VANCOUVER (CP)
Sportsminded promoters are
trying to turn a small room,
a soft black ball and stubby-

handled racquets into
profits.
They are promoting

racquelball, a 20-year-old
sport some say is the fastest
fame in Canada. They say
racquetball ‘is beginning to
rival the more venerable
games of tennis and squash
in popularity. ‘

To those in the business of
sports equipment and
facilities, it is providing a
new and, at times, lucrative
market. But there is some
worry that those who expect
to make big money from the
boom might be disappointed.

Thesport is just making its
presence felt here. Until a
few years ago, the only
you could play
racquetball were in the
handbalts courts of the
YMCA and some community
centres.

Since then, a number of in-
vestor groups have moved
into the market, At least six
investor-owned clubs-most
offering both racquetball
and squash-have sprouted in
the Vancouver area, In
others, ‘ra¢quetball “has
taken over the’ handball
courts.

There are currently about
90 racquetball courts in the:
province,

One operator describes
racquetball as the game of
the 1970s.

"It is the bash-around,
freeflawing way the game
moves," said John Cham-
bers, co-owner of of the

Supreme Court Racquetball ©

Club in downtown Van-
couver.

Itis algo easy to play, pro-
vides an intensive workout
and is less expensive then
many tennis clubs. Because
of this, promoters see
racquetball having a much
broader appeal than the
more difficult games of
squash ard tennis.

. “But those same qualities
make it the target of many
tennis and squash players’
distain. They say racquet-
ball is a simple game in-
volving little skill and no
style. It is essentially the
same as handball, only it’s
played with racquets.

More than 5.5 million
ople play the game in the
United States, compared
with 75,000 in 1970. One
financial journal says
‘equipment sales are ex-
. pected to.reach $100. million
this year. - ,

A CBC film crew accom-
panied by a woman reporter
was allowed to leave the jail
after refusing to turn over its
film. Portions of the CBC
film were used on a lale-
night news show.

The captors in the incident
released their hostage, a
guard, and surrendered
about four hours later.

A news blackout had been
imposed during the incident.

Afterward, Shaw took pic-
tures of guards through a
glass partition. Some were
carrying billy clubs, others
had helmets.

The Herald Thursday, Oclober 26, 1978, Page 5

About half an hour after
the hostage was released,
Shaw and Walker were or-
dered to give up film taken of
guards inside the prison.

Shaw said James
Ferguson, assistant deputy
director of the jail, ordered
the photographers to hand
over their film. The film was
exposed—it was unclear
Wednesday afternoon
whether the photographers
destroyed the film them-
selves rather than hand it
over or gave it to prison
officials who exposed it.

“T felt if things hadn't gone

exactly their way, they
have become
physical," Shaw said.
Solicitor-General Farran
said Shaw had been locked
up for 15 minutes because he
had forced his way into the
jail during a news blackout.

Shaw said no one
challenged him when he was
taking his pictures and noone
told him he was not supposed
to be in the area.

“This is the sort of boorish
bullying one has come to
expect from some countries
but not from democratic
Canada,” O'Callaghan said.
