1978 of no beatings By jan McMillan The director of the Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Institute says he can't completely guarantee that mistreatment of prisoners did not occur at the Jail. Justin Anderson said Thursday he is aware of rumors that, following a May 30 riot, inmates were forced one by one to crawl the length of a hallway covered in water while guards kicked and hit them with clubs. "To my knowledge there were no beatings," Mr. Anderson said. Guard clubbed me A i if i a i 'V I i fit" Anv n-t It 1 I i IT, A 7 -r.

rrrrsr.rr'1 I I The allegations have sparked calls for a public Inquiry. Mr. Anderson explained that although he was at the Jail when the riot by about 100 prisoners broke out, he was not inside block where the outbreak started. Tactical squad prisoner An inmate stated In a letter to local broadcaster Eddie Keen that he received a broken jaw "after everyone was subdued." Mr. Anderson said blows which broke the man's jaw and cracked another prisoner's ribs "happened when the tactical unit went into the cell block" and while guards were attempting to bring the prisoners under control.

"The injuries that occurred were during times we were actually engaged with inmates," he said. The director said correctional officers assured him afterwards that they did not use excessive force in quelling the outbreak. He said the correctional officers were able to specify which prisoners they had hit and injured. Four prisoners and a number of guards were treated in hospital the night of the riot, and Mr. Anderson said there were also "lots of bruises" resulting from the two-hour By BOB REMINGTON A Fort Saskatchewan jail inmate said to-' day he was beaten by jail guards for a May 30 riot in which he did not take part.

Joe Bozniak, 38, said he was dragged from his cell, made to lie on the floor and beaten by guards after the riot had been quelled. Mr. Bozniak, on remand for breaking and entering and theft under $200, said he stayed in his cell and wanted nothing to do with the disturbance by prisoners. "And when the riot was over, six or eight of them I don't know how many for sure came in with gas masks on and dragged me out and made me lie on my stomach. Then my arm began to hurt so I started to lift my head and when I did that, one of them stomped on me like he was butting a cigarette." After that, Mr.

Bozniak said a guard "clubbed me a good one." Mr. Bozniak has his arm in a sling as a result of the beating and his lawyer, Andy Sims, said it will require surgery.

A page for you Describing the riot as "major" and "serious," he mentioned that one guard's helmet was split by a blow from an inmate wielding a table leg. Mr. Anderson explained that the 20-guard tactical unit that finally quelled the riot with tear gas is "fully-equipped" with helmets, gas masks and 36-to 40-inch truncheons.

Formed in the past year, the squad was trained in the use of the clubs, made specially for such purposes, so as not to inflict serious injury, said Mr. Anderson. On entering a riot situation, he explained, the procedure is "to bring them (inmates) out one by one. Then we put them into other areas, including segregation and the correctional tier." He said inmates were made to lie on the floor before being relocated in order to maintain control, because there weren't enough handcuffs to secure them all.

She and the neighbors searched with no luck. She finally called police about 8:30 p.m. Mrs. Templar's mother and mother-in-law were with her at the Templar home this morning. Her husband, George, who had been searching all night, was sleeping on the couch.

Mr. Templar, 39, has been unemployed for about a year because of illness. He last worked as an orderly at the General Hospital. A policewoman was stationed on Hermitage Road at 128th Avenue, the entry to the subdivision, alerting motorists to keep an eye out for the lost little boy and showing them his picture. Christopher has blond hair and blue eyes and is three feet tall.

He was wearing a red and white striped shirt and blue jeans when he disappeared. Extra policemen have been called to the scene from other areas of the city to aid in the search. Also helping are members of the General Radio Emergency Club.

His mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Templar, discovered Christopher missing from their home at 495 Habitat Crescent about 6:30 p.m. About 60 searchers spent the night checking areas around the townhouse development, much of which is still under construction. Then, early this morning, police began reorganizing the search to cover the wooded areas, farm yards and a ravine nearby, as well as the stockyards and feedlots on 50th Street, west of the boy's home.

Mrs. Templar, 25, pale and worried but calm, said her son doesn't usually wander far from home. She said he sometimes goes off, "then comes back now and then to see what I'm doing." She said he had been playing outside and It's for kids the new Junior Journal.

This Canada all about us The Journal carries a significant amount of Canadian news every day but Saturday's Weekender starts something different and completely Canadian. We're calling it This Canada. It will be a once-a-week full page of stories about Canada and Canadians. To produce it The Journal hired correspondents across the country to report on what's happening. This Canada will leave the politics, inflation, labor problems and the price of wheat to their customary places in the news pages.

Instead, This Canada will concentrate on stories about Canadians, and how the happenings in our big country affect Canadians. Some samples from Saturday's This Canada: the phantom tire burner of the Saskatoon city dump: the rich-kid burglars of Montreal; and the Nova Scotians who may be forced from their new homes because they cant pay the power bilL Who says you need a woman to play a female dramatic part?
