INQUIRING REPORTER

THE LATEST bid to permit televised coverage of court
proceedings was denied last week by B.C. Supreme
Court Chief Justice William Esson. Three local TV sta-
tions had applied to televise former premier Bill Vander
Zalm’s breach cf trust trial set for this week. U.S.
courts have permitted televised coverage of their pro-
ceedings, but have restricted the electronic media by

limiting camera angles and distances between the camera
and court participants. An Ontario judge also recently
denied TV coverage, saying it tended to produce an
adverse effect on participants. But proponents say TV
coverage is 2 contemporary way for the public to be in-
formed about how justice is served in the public court
system.

Should Canadian court be televised?

I don’t think so because
sometimes too much
public exposure is not
good for anybody.

Tammy Bulpit

.I don’t think they should

because it’s there in the
court file, if they want to
look. Other than that, |
don't think it’s any-
body’s business.

Carole Bright

No, it’s an invasion of
court proceedings, and it
tends (io give too much
exposure.

Norm Wallace

North Vancouver

I don’t think 530. The
cameras may influence
people’s thinking in the
court.

Nerth Vancouver

I think it’s a good idea,
because most people
should know what goes
oa in court.

Watershed meeting
planned for SFU
downtown campus

‘Alternative’ views aired May 21

SEVEN SPEAKERS are
scheduled to be featured at
a ‘Watershed Warnings’’
presentation of alternative
watershed management
views on Thursday, May 21
at Vancouver’s Simon
Fraser University Harbour

Centre campus.

The speakers will include UBC
botany biologist Andre’ Arsenault,
Vancouver Natural History Socie-
ty representative Kevin Bell, UBC
forestry professor Michael Feller,
Burke Mountain Naturalists
researcher Elaine Golds, Society
Promoting Environmental Con-
servation (SPEC) vice-president
Paul Hundal, Friends of the Wa-
tershed spokesman Ross Muirhead
and Western Canada Wilderness
Committee forester Mark Ware-
ing.

Muirhead said the group will
critique the Greater Vancouver

Regional District's (GVRD) new
watershed management policy.
The policy permits logging in the
Capilano, Coquitlam and
Seymour watersheds to improve
and maintain water quality.

Critics have said the wording of
the new policy is open-ended and
may be interpreted by GVRD staff
in the same way as the contentious
old watershed logging policy.

The GVRD approved the logg-
ing of nine cut-block areas totall-
ing. 50 hectares this month at the
same time that it approved the
new logging policy.

The three watersheds contain
valuable old-growth timber and
rare animal species such as the
spotted owl, whose numbers have
not been accurately recorded
locally.

The fecture presentations are
scheduled to be held from 7 p.m.
to 10 p.m. at SFU Harbour Cen-
tre, S5LS West Hastings St. For
