PUBLICATION: The Guardian (Charlottetown) DATE: 2005.01.11 SECTION: News PAGE: A1 BYLINE: Stewart, Dave ILLUSTRATION: Ken Gillis - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Council tells hunters to stay away; Charlottetown city officials vote for a total hunting ban within the capital's limits. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hunting is officially banned in the city of Charlottetown. City council voted 6-3 Monday night to make it illegal to hunt within the boundaries of the city, doing so one year ahead of schedule. Two years ago, council opted for a phase-in period in which hunting wouldn't be banned until Jan. 1, 2006. Council voted to act quicker due to concerns from some residents and reports of buckshots going astray onto private property in the Sherwood Road area. Couns. Philip Brown, Mitchell Tweel and Danny Redmond voted against the ban. Chris Levesque, a member of the P.E.I. Wildlife Federation and the Delta Waterfowl group, said council's decision was a travesty. "The sportsmen on P.E.I. really need to view it as a wake-up call and stick together,'' Levesque said in an interview following council's January public meeting at city hall Monday night. "They really need to join organizations like Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl and the Prince Edward Island Wildlife Federation and lean on their politicians not to let this happen elsewhere.'' He said hunting on the city's half-dozen fields where it was legal was a time-honoured family tradition, one that should not be banned because of poorly substantiated reports of unsafe behaviour. Coun. Ken Gillis, who has been very vocal about the need to ban the sport in the city, said people opposed to hunting who attended a public meeting in November were harassed for their opinion. "There are people who didn't want to come to that meeting because they felt it was going to be another Mardi Gras," Gillis said. "People were harassed. We had a buckshot stray onto private property. It's not a place to do it (in the city). There is no place for hunting in the city.'' Tweel and Brown opposed the resolution to ban hunting because they wanted the matter deferred to the police committee where council's original decision two years ago would be clarified. The deferral was rejected. Levesque said no one was harassed at the November public meeting and, as for backlash, people who speak out against hunting should face the music. "Any time you stand up for your rights and you stand up for your beliefs and you make it public you should be prepared to take whatever backlash comes from that, that's what we're faced with every day. We're just out there doing a sport that's legal . . . and we got persecuted for it.'' As for the buckshots that reportedly went astray near Sherwood Road, Levesque said they weren't from someone hunting with a permit. "If there were any pellets at all, supposedly they came from somebody who was illegally hunting.'' Levesque said council has basically indicated the province's laws regarding safe distances and all of the province's hunting laws are no good and worries that other communities will follow Charlottetown's lead. "There are all kinds of areas within the Charlottetown city limits that the province of Prince Edward Island deems as safe for hunting and there's no reason why the city shouldn't have that same opinion. Who is to stop the mayor of Kensington from adopting the same policies, Summerside, Cavendish, it can happen, it happened here.'' ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 10:56:45 -0600 (CST) From: Breitkreuz@sfn.saskatoon.sk.ca, Garry - Assistant 1 Subject: Column: PETA-files TOWNHALL.COM PETA-files by Mike S.

January is Crime Stopper's month internationally where nearly 1500 programs worldwide endeavour to increase awareness of the community-based program. Crime Stoppers is a not for profit charitable organization that partners with the police and media to fight crime. Anonymous informants can call a toll free number that is the same anywhere in Canada and provide information that is then disseminated to the police for investigation. If an arrest is made, a caller then becomes eligible for a cash reward and in Peel that can range up to $2000.00. In Peel, the 2004 statistics surpassed the 2003 statistics significantly. A/Det. Stephen Rowe, the programs coordinator in Peel, attributes this to a number of variables including increased awareness and education of the program, and an aggressive marketing campaign that the program in Peel embarked on in January 2004. The Gun Stopper program which is an ongoing initiative to get illegal guns and weapons off the streets and out of schools enjoyed another year amassing 20 guns, 2 knives, a machete and a baseball bat. A/Detective Rowe is happy to point out that "not one gun was recovered in a school which hopefully indicates that the students are getting the message that weapons are not acceptable in any school". Here are the statistics for the Peel Crime Stoppers program in 2004: - - Tips received-1414 up 22 % over 2003 - - Number of Arrests - 62 up one from 2003 - - Cases Cleared - 192 up 86% over 2003 - - Charges Laid - 207 up 47% over 2003 - - Narcotics Seized - $9,503,435.00 up 70% over last years totals. - - Also recovered was $162,089.00 in property - -30- /For further information: A/Det.

Below, representing the overwhelming sentiment of the response, excerpts from some of the massive number of phone calls and e-mails. Gord Stamp, Edmonton. "My wife is Indonesian. She is not happy with the Liberal government response. The reality is that Canada is impotent. Liberals have destroyed our ability to have an impact on the world. When tragedies occur, we are almost non-existent. And Paul Martin and his holier-than-thou sidekick Clarkson decide to hold a photo op showing endorsement for Liberals actions? I wouldn't have attended if it were held across the street from me." Bruce Mills, Dundas, Ont. "The Canadian public seems to have grasped the difference between genuine compassion and a grandstanding, self-aggrandizing photo op. Canadians are fed up with the Liberals telling them what to do." Becky. "Finally Canadians are waking up and bread and circuses are no longer going to get the Liberals off the hook." Ashish Duggal. "I was disappointed in your bashing of the people of Ottawa for not showing up. There are many people that have donated money to the relief efforts, but do not see the need to show up for a rally that is attended by selfish politicians to attend their own agenda." Ron Cox. "I did not go because I felt this was a Liberal convention, not a personal compassion for those who lost loved ones. Mr. Martin will try to do everything possible to put on a show of good faith for the mindless Canadians in an election bid." J.M. Pankewitz, Edmonton. "Exactly how shallow a person are you, equating a 'no-show' at a government photo op with a lack of compassion? The Canadians who are out making a difference don't need to be part of a giant photo sent out to the rest of the world to prove how compassionate we are." Gerald King. "Your article insulted Canadians who gave so generously. Our politicians now want to use these feelings for their own agendas by staging a media event which flopped." Canadian living in U.S. "Canada has an ostrich head-in-the-sand mentality about tragic things happening elsewhere. The low or no attendance parallels the speed at which Canada dispatched its elite DART group to Asia." Lois Halls, Edmonton. "Maybe the message is that Canadians are not attracted to anything put on by Paul Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, and company." Maurice Curtis. "My opinion is it says that people do not believe the prime minister. It seems he has lied too often. The claim to need to send a group to assess the damage before sending DART is nonsense. His Ottawa show was just another scam and sham." Howard Stollery, Ottawa. "To attend one of their events is to agree with something (the Liberals) stand for. One suspects the whole concept was to lock in more immigrant votes, which is their main constituency: To hell with actual Canadians is what the Liberals stand for." Gail Reid, Halifax. "I wouldn't go to something staged by weak, indecisive Martin and his spineless cronies who make me ashamed to be Canadian. We are a nation of pacifist CBC-type socialists who sanctimoniously believe it's a virtue being the world's candy asses." M. Thielen, Milk River, AB. "Maybe it was Canadians' way to embarrass the Liberals as they have embarrassed Canada by their actions." Kathy Kashuba. "Maybe it says people don't want to listen to PM Dithers natter on. Or listen to extravagant GG yatter on. PM Dithers can go to hell." Phil Carrey. "Canadians are sick and tired of hollow compassion from politicians. Canadians will continue to quietly support this aid despite the blundering of our shameful government." Grayme in Sudbury. "The seats were empty because a national day of mourning is an empty political gesture. Did you see Paul Martin's January 3rd visit to a Markham school to posture and prostrate himself? A more pathetic and misguided performance I have never seen." Stephen Morford. "Canadians have shown their caring and generosity ... they apparently don't feel the need to publicly wallow in fake pity at a political photo op session." I'd love to hear from you.

Joe Centis was apparently suffering from physical damage to his brain since 1994, as well as psychological damage. Reports indicate that he was both depressed and suicidal at the time he shot and killed his wife with a shotgun. Nowhere is it reported if Centis was a licensed gun owner, or if the gun he used was registered. If he and it were, why wasn't it confiscated when it was discovered that Centis was mentally ill? Was Mr. Centis undergoing treatment for his mental illness, or did the knowledge that his gun(s) would be confiscated prevent him from seeking the help he so desperately needed? In either case, the Federal Liberal Government's much vaunted Firearms Act failed to prevent this tragedy from taking place. If Mr. Centis wasn't licensed to own guns, and the gun he used wasn't registered, this is an even greater failure. A mentally ill man, bent on murder and possibly suicide, was able to illegally purchase an illegal gun, and use it to kill his estranged wife. There are no details of their divorce procedings. Was he violent, or abusive? Centis' wife had been granted a restraining order against him just three days before he shot her. This alone should have disbarred him from possessing firearms. The billion dollars of taxpayer's hard earned money wasted on this failed fiasco would have been better spent on intervention and treatment programs for abusive spouses, or on psychiatric facilities for the mentally ill. Sadly, all we really have are two more victims of the Firearms Act.
