continuedilromiweii The Windsor Star Tuesday, June 9, 1981 Rage, condemnation Death penalty for taking a life. No human has the right to take another life except in extreme circumstances. I'm highly skeptical of public opinion polls just as I am about man-in-the-street interviews." Im a sister and I believe in the value of human life," said Sister Frances Feener, of the Order of the Good Shepherd. I dont believe people should be incarcerated or executed. must work harder to prevent the symp-tomsof crime.

And as for a deterrent, I dont believe its apparent. "People dont stop to think about the consequences of their actions when they commit a crime." Mary Ellen McIntyre concurred. "Most crimes are committed in a state of high emotion. A person isnt going to think about a deterrent when committing a crime. Most people can be rehabilitated, said the director of legal aid services at the Uni- (Continued from Page3) on crimes against the individual." Joe Jayton echoed similar sentiments.

Capital punishment should do something in controlling crime. They should definitely have it for repeaters. They certainly wouldnt do it again, the Windsor-Detroit Barge Company employee said. And Jayton had harsh words for politicians who oppose the death penalty despite a recent Gallup poll which indicated 67 per cent of Canadians supported the death penalty. I feel politicians are betraying the people they represent.

Theyre put into office to represent the people that voted for them; not to follow theirown conscience. But just as many local residents interviewed felt strongly that capital punishment is not the solution. Kevin Sisk, who's articling after completing law school, said "there is no justification About this time last year we had an Ask The Star question about scenic cruises on the Detroit River. We reported then that Windsor offered no such service but that The Renaissance Excursion Boat Company in Detroit was awaiting clearance from U.S. Coast Guard for trips from downtown Detroit.

This week we checked the situation once again, on both sides of the river to find out if any arrangements have been made for: a) a passenger ferry between Dieppe Gardens and Hart Plaza b) river cruises. In Detroit we learned the excursion boat company is doing tours on a charter basis only with no ferry service between our two downtowns. Tour arrangments with can be made by calling 1(313)341-7881. In Windsor, Aid. Elizabeth Rishkon, who happens to be on the board of directors for the Windsor Essex County Tourist Convention Bureau, thought the idea of river cruises was a good one and was excited at the prospect of a ferry service connecting downtown Windsor to downtown Detroit.

Although Rishkon said the idea had been talked about and quashed before on the grounds of cost, she didn't think any serious thought to cost or action had ever really been given. However, since she said she'd raise the issue at the next board meeting, you can expect to hear more about this. they hit you, the conservative daily Maariv said in an editorial. The newspaper said Israel had a complete right to act before the threat to her existence was realized. The liberal daily Haaretz said in an editorial: "There is doubt that the danger that threatens us from the eastern front has been diminished.

Haaretzs military writer, Zeev Schiff, said in a commentary: What the Israeli pilots did in this complex and dangerous operation was like entering a beehive, taking the queen and getting away without being stung. Davar, the newspaper of the opposition Labor Party, praised the execution of the raid as an exemplary act," but it and the pro-Labor Jerusalem Post said the attack only postpones a resolution of the problem ofnuclear proliferation in the Middle East. Begin was meetihg his cabinet today in Jerusalem for a briefing on the surprise attack and was to have a session later with parliaments foreign affairs and security committee, where members of the Labor party will get their first full report on the raid. We are not afraid of any reaction by the world, Begin said in a broadcast Monday night. We had to act to safeguard the safety and wellbeing of the Israeli people.

The Israeli government, which refuses to confirm or deny persistent foreign reports that it has built a dozen or more nuclear bombs, said the research reactor French and Italian technicians were building on the outskirts of Baghdad was being prepared to manufacture nuclear weapons to be used against Israel. much as it does Iraq, said nothing. Tehran made a similar although unsuccessful bid to wipe out the plant early in its nine-month-old war with Iraq. Syria said the Arab world is in a state of war with Israel but the Syrians, while confronting Israel over the Lebanon missiles, also are engaged in a bitter feud with Iraq. It is assumed, however, that Iraq and Syria would unite in the event of either countrys confrontation with Israel deteriorated into war.

Where Egypt would stand is less clear. Sadat has been ostracized by virtually all Arab leaders since he signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. But some Egyptian leaders have said the first claim upon Cairos loyalty is still Arab. Among U.S. allies, Britain said the Israeli raid appeared unprovoked and is a grave breach of international law with possible serious consequences.

Italy, which has about 20 technicians working at the plant, said it is gravely concerned by the Germany awaited full details before responding but its commentators are both alarmed and impressed, with one saying: Repeatedly they (the Israelis) stated they would use force to prevent the building of an Arab atomic bomb. Now they have done so, perhaps ending the risk of a possible world war. In Israel meanwhile, newspapers rang with praise today for Prime Minister Bains decision to bomb the Iraqi reactor, and the voters who will decide his political fate June 30 seemed pleased with 'the daring raid. Israel acted according to an old rule, hit them before Two aldermen try Continued from Page 3 Continued from Page 1 The wording of the Tass report left open the possibility that the United States might have been told of the attack in advance, rather than learning of it after it happened as the state department said. The report also omitted the state departments description of the raid as a very serious development.

But it said the world community is deeply concerned by the barbarous attack. The attack also embarrassed Egypt, Israels only Arab friend, as President Anwar Sadat had extracted from Begin at a summit meeting four days earlier a promise that he would do nothing to exacerbate Middle East tensions. Egypt condemned the raid. Privately, one official said Cairo has been let down, if not deceived by Mr. Begin.

The raid raised some problems and settled some for Frances new Socialist president, Francois Mitterrand. France which built the Iraqi reactor at Osirak, has about 300 scientists and technicians there and supplies 'the enriched uranium essential for the Iraqi program. Mitterrand made clear in his election campaign he regarded such supplies and Frances willingness to be an arms merchant to the worlej ascynical and immoral. His prime minister, Pierre Mauroy, while condemning the raid as unacceptable, would not be drawn Monday on future French arrangements with Iraq after the attack. The immediate future of uranium supplies seems to have been settled" by the raid, he said.

He said France wants to respect its commercial contracts but stressed: France wants to moralize its arms sales And in sharp contrast to Frances previous professed willingness to believe the Iraqi nuclear program was peaceful, Mauroy said: "I cannot say who was telling the truth among the many versions." Iraq asked for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. It also sought a meeting of the 21-member Arab League, which agreed to such a gathering within sixdays." Llsewhere in the Arab world, Kuwait called the raid "an act of terrorism and urged joint Arab action to preventany more King Hussein of Jordan, an ally of Iraq in its war with Iran, telephoned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and said the raid represented cooperation between Israel and Iran.

It removed the unit and suggested I take it to the service depot which I did and it sat there until mid-March when it was shipped to the Canadian distributor. But the distributor, ither Evans said it can't get parts.

Minutes later he phoned back to say the parts had been located and were on the way to the service shop. You radio will be repaired and installed this week. When I went to Canada Rod Custom on Tecum-seh Rd. E.

to purchase two tires and rims, only the rims were in stock. 1 paid the full amount of $303.88 for the total order and was told the tires would be in Friday, May 1. After being told my order had arrived I took my car in. But at 4:30 p.m. when I returned to pick up my car I was told I couldn't get the wheels installed until Monday.

On Monday the same thing happened and I was told to come back Tuesday. On the Tuesday 1 was told my refund would be mailed the next day that was more than a month ago. Finally when I called again I got my cheque. In the meantime Canada Rod Custom had the interest on my money for four weeks while 1 was waiting. D.

Organ, St. Joseph. The secretary at Canada Rod Custom (the manager was away) said it was an honest error on the part of the company, then took the necessary steps to correct the situation. One cheque covering one month's interest is on the way. Burr last week strongly opposed a motion from Alderman Elizabeth Rishkon urgi ng both sides in the Transit Windsor strike to remain at the bargaining table until a settlement is reached.

He said then the motion could harm efforts by Transit Windsor to bypass the union executive and ask workers to approve the contract directly. The vote will be held Friday at the National Traveller hotel. Burr, at the same meeting, urged council to stop discus-singthe strikepublicly. He is one of two council appointees to the board of directors of Transit Windsor, but he is not a member of the bus companys negotiating team. Burr described his attempt to communicate with Cote as a grapevine" with him, the striking transit workers and UAW member as being the grapesonthevine.

Some type of messages were being passed back and forth," Burr said. Burr said he still stands by his opposition to Kishkons motion last Monday. Santing, who also voted against Kishkons motion last week, phoned Cote Monday morning to attempt to arrange a personal meeting with him. "I wasn't assuming Ray was going to call the media. I don't think I was out of line," Santing told the Star Monday night.

Santing said he had one impression of Transit Windsors contract offer and said he thought Cote had another. I think the general membership (of the transit union) doesnt understand whats being offered, Santing said. Santing said he is still opposed to City Council members getting directly involved in the strike. versityofWindsor. And if the power to execute is given, it can be abused, she added.

McIntyre, who described herself as a bleeding heart liberal, said government should concentrate on reforming the prison system and the causes of crime. Jim Binson, a Grade 11 student at Assumption High School, disagreed with the concept that the Bible says an 'eye for an eye. You should forgive others. Though he admitted he had strong convictions on the subject, he doubted views on either side could be swayed. Its tough to change someones mind when they have strong opinions.

Danny Kerr said there should be a death penalty for killing policemen. Cops are putting their life on the line," he said. And he said hed rather be executed for a crime than be put in jail for 25 or more years. You might as well die. Two hurt in local accidents An 88-year-old man and an eight-year-old girl are in the intensive care unit of Hotel Dieu following separate car-pedestrian accidents Monday.

Lisa Cox of RR 1 Windsor was seriously injured when struck by a pickup truck in front of her house on Walker Road. Police said the girl was attempting to cross Walker Road from the east curb when she was struck by the The accident occurred north of the North Talbot Road intersection, in an 80-kmh (SOmph)zone. The child was taken to Metropolitan Hospital and later transferred to Hotel Dieu, where she was reported in stable condition this morning. Walter Tiegs of Oak Avenue was struck by a Canada Post Office truck driven by Douglas Pitre about 9:30 a.m. Monday.

Police said Pitre was drivi ng south in the curb lane of Ouellette Avenue when Tiegs stepped from the west curb just south of Hanna Street. He was taken to Hotel Dieu and was reported in critical condition this morning. No charges are being laid in either accident. Tornadoes rip through U.S. states Tornadoes touched down in several locations, injuring at least four people, splintering trees and ripping off roofs as heavy storms swept through Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Authorities said a mobile home was flipped over by a tornado in the west-central Pennsylvania town of Clarion early today, injuring a man and his nine-year-old son. John Smith, 48, and his son, Jerald, were taken to Clarion Hospital for examination, a hospital spokesman said. She described the boys injuries as minor, but there was no report on the father's condition. The tornado struck about 3:35 a.m. EDT in the northwest part of Clarion County, state Trooper Albert Brown said.

In Sidney, Ohio, a twister touched down Monday night, damaging apartment buildingsand homes. Dan Counts, who lives in a subdivision of the west-central Ohio town, said he was in the family room with his wife and daughter when the tornado hit. I tried to shut the patio door and the next thing I knew, they (his wife and daughter) said the walls on the other side are gone, he said. I didnt know what to think.

The latter area does not cover the entire county of Essex, Payne oted. "In the circumstances, it would appear desirable for the city to proceed with the application. to the area covered by the ILAP program. Payne suggested that Essex County Council could, if it wished, make a separate application for the balance of the county. This course of action would very likely expedite processing of the citys application while at the same time providing for the county to proceed with their particular concern.

Windsor's application includes Amherstburg, Belle River, Essex, Tecumseh, St. Clair Beach, and the townships of Anderdon, Colchester North, Maidstone, Sandwich South and Sandwich West, but it does not embrace the entire county, which Essex County Council had hoped it would. At a recent meeting, County Council authorized Warden Jack Menard to actively pursue a DREE designation encompassing all municipalities in the county, and requested support for its resolution from Windsor council. But Windsor City Council, following the suggestion of City Administrator Hilary Payne, decided to remain divorced from the county action. Payne said it'was his under Rishkon said Monday night she was disappointed by the actions of both men.

"I guess they dont want to be seen to be involved. I think if they're going to discuss it (the strike) at all, it should be in public," Rishkon said. In the meantime, the union and company are preparing for Fridays vote, which will be supervised by the ministry oflabor. Cote said all members were to be notified of the vote by the rtiinistry through the mail. He said he understood the company would also be contacting members by mail to state their position.

The union negotiating team will tell members why it opposes the company's last offer during a meeting Thursday, 7:30 p.m., at the KnightsofColumbusHallon Goyeau Street. Fridays vote will be held between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Cote expects to know the outcome shortly afterward.

Pat Kerich, who manages ON-TV, said the company got a preliminary injunction in a U.S. court Monday ordering Video Gallery of Windsor not to sell decoders to U.S. citizens.

Rerich said the injunction, expected to be signed Wednesday, is only temporary while ON-TV files a civil suit for losses. When asked how a Michigan court can enforce an order on a Canadian firm, Kerich was vague. Im not I'm very disturbed after receiving numerous threatening letters from Detroit-based Universal Body Building, Inc. It claims I owe S10, which I do not. And I've written many times to tell this company I do not.

But it just keeps pestering me for the money. I paid S35, the full amount for the courses I ordered, and I don't plan to pay a penny more! E. Flannery, Essex.

A sk The Star Im trying to find out why, when fresh lake perch are caught all around us, we have to pay $4.99 per pound for it at the fish markets. When 1 called a fish co-op in the county to ask what the fishermen are paid for perch, youd think I'd asked the combination to their safe. What's the big secret? L. Robinson, Windsor.

When we spoke to Richard Loblaw the Great Lakes fish specialist at the ministry of natural resources, fishermen were getting for whole perch. And this year is not like 1977 when there was a large hatching. From that you remove, the head, tail, entrails, etc. and that raises the price per pound. Then there is weight loss through dehydration.

All in all, about 53 per cent of the whole fish weight is lost in waste and dehydration. Also to consider are the processing costs, packing costs, and in many cases, shipping costs'. We dont know for sure where you were shopping so we couldnt confirm the but the above-; mentioned approximately triples the price paid fi-; shermen for whole perch.

Japanese importers, whose profits'have been limited by Canada's high import tariff, will also be able to increase prices while selling only marginally fewer cars. Canadas international image has been protected: by voluntarily restricting exports, Japan has saved Canada the embarrassment of imposing trade restrictions after recently signng the Geneva Accord on Trade and Tariffs which calls for reduced international trade barriers. In return, Canada has agreed to a deal which does not significantly injure the Japanese auto companies. And that has the beneficial side-effect of maintaining cordial relations between Japanese industry and Canadian exporters. Overall, a clever and interesting deal that is far more and far less than it appears to be.
