Anti-crime show

TERRACE'S TAMMY FEE, an outspoken advocate for
victin’s rights, is featured in a nation-wide TV special on
crime prevention that will air on BCTV tomorrow evening.

The video, done in conjunction with the RCMP, is about
stalking and personal safety. It’s the fifth in a series called
Be Careful Be Safe, aud is hosted by TV personality
Wayne Cox.

The show includes a talk with an expert on self defense,
how to react if approached on the street, and talks about

Tammy Fee is featured on the show as a victim of stalk-
ing and she talks about what happened to her. Fee was at-
tacked by Richard While in June 1995. He broke into her
home, handcuffed hex and sexually assaulted her.

One of the most important parts of the show, according
to Fee, is some valuable information on what to do if you
think you are being followed or stalked and how to avoid
becoming a victim of violent crime.

Other topics that have aired so far in the series include a
show on youth violence, how to fock out crime and

Info fee hike
talk concerns
press council

THE B.C. Press Council is worried that deputy premier
Dan Miller may have mistakenly mislead the public over
comments tied to freedom of information legiskation.

Miller’s in charge of the legislation and a five-year
review coming up this fall.

Recently he told reporters the government may consider
increasing fees for media information requests, saying
“taxpayers Should be subsidizing’’ businesses, especially
ones he singled out as media conglomerates.

In fact, indicate government statistics, individuals make
up 77.5 per cent of all information requests while news or-
ganizations make up only 2.25 per cent.

“Clearly, Mr. Miller is labouring under the false as-
sumption that the media are abusing the freedom of in-
formation system, which is not the case,’’ said Andrew
Holota, chair of the press council’s freedom of the press
committee.

T realize the government has been embarrassed recently
by revelations made by the news media and apposition
party researchers using the FOF Act to unearth important
information, but ] would not like to think the government
is trying to choke off the media and opposition researchers
with higher use fees,’’ Holota added.

The press council is also worried that higher fees may
hurt the ability of smaller community newspapers to re-
search information.

The B.C. Press Council represents more than 125 weekly
and daily newspapers in the province, acting as a body to
hear public complaints against newspapers and as a lobby-
ing group concerned with press issues.

violence against women. —

The show airs on BCTV from 7-8 p.m. tomorrow. The
video is part of Fee’s efforts to lobby for change to legisla-
tion to give more protection to victims of violent offences.

She’s also meeting with B.C.’s attarney general on May
6, and representatives from the criminal justice branch.

Fee is speaks for the victim’s rights group CAVEAT
B.C. She'll be taiking about high risk dangerous offenders
and how to protect victims from these offenders,

“I'm doing this for public safety reasons," says Fee. ‘']
want to help make changes to keep us safe.’’

The timing of the mecting is very important for her since
Ric White becomes eligible for statutory release on May

his two year sentence.

own,”

“But a lot of them are underage.”

“Since when does age stop kids from
drinking?”

Doug and Penelope walked into their
house. Kids were lying around drunk, oth-
ers were weaving as they walked. -

"Doug, don't you dare throw them out.
We promised Crystal. Besides, she made
sure each car has a designated driver.

Let's just go to bed."

Three hours later, Crystal woke
Penelope. “Mom, you've got to help, The
police stopped Paul and his friends as they
were driving home. | don't know what hap-
pened, Paul was the designated driver,”

They didn't wake Doug up to supervise
the remaining guests,

Two hours later, Crystal and Penelope
raturned home exhausted but relieved. Paul
had In fact been drlving and he was sober.
Everyone was released. Crystal and
Penelope had seen the friends home.

“Where have you been?” Doug yelled
anxlously as they walked In the door.:."I Just
got woken up by a frantic call from Crystal's
friend Lilly."

Crystal ran to the phone.

"! can't believe it," Lilly could barely
talk, “Charles ran over this guy Joe Trenton
as we were criving home.”

“But Lilly, you were {he designated driv-

er of that car. Charles drank all evening.
What a disaster.”

“He said he was OK," Lilly sobbed, “I
shouldn't have listened..."

Three months later, the family’s break-
fast was disturbed by a baillff at the door.

“Doug Reynolds; you're being sued by
Joe Trenton. He was run over by Charles,
one.of your drunk guests the night of your
wild party.”

The family was in shock. “But how

.can | be responsible?” Doug asked.

In court, the entire family’ sat with
their lawyer.

Joe got up to argue. “Your honor,
Doug has to share responsibility with
Charles for my damages. He was sleeping
when he should have been supervising the
young people in his home. He had a duty
to make sure. that drunk people leaving his
house would not drive, He should have
warned Lilly, the designated driver, not to
let Charles take the wheel.”

Doug was furious. “What kind of fee-
ble reasoning Is that? Lilly may have been
a minor, but she had-a driver’s licence and
was sober when she offered ta drive
Charfes home.” -. 1

supervise what was happening in his
house?. YOU! BE THE JUDGE, Then look
