NORTH Vancouver
RCMP have returned
several magazines
seized from a North
Vancouver store earlier
this month after a cus-
tomer complained that
they were pornograph-
ic.

North Vancouver neurolo-
gist Dr. Vance Makin rook

issue with the current issue of

Colors. The cover incorporates
a photograph of a naked boy

erving and urinating.

Oliviero Toscani, the edi-
torial director of Colors, is the
creator of Benetton’s success-
ful series of graphic photo-
graphic advertisements. Since
1982, the ads have featured
many provocative images, for
example, a man dying of
AIDs, the bloodied clothing
of a Bosnian fighter and a
photo of horses copulating.

Said Makin on Monday,
“That kid had obviously nor
consented to be in that pic-
ture. It’s nor like taking a pic-
ture of an AIDs patient or ele-
phants mating or whatever
else Benetton thinks they're
clever about.

Portable heater suspected
as source of NV house fire

A portable heater is the
likely source of a fire
that destroyed a house
at 1315 East 8th St.
last Thursday, said
North Vancouver
District Deputy Fire
Chief Brian Stegavig.

Fire crews were called at
12:29 a.m. The blaze claimed
the lives ofa dog and cat.

Four members of a five-

erson family and two people
in a rented suite escaped to
safety.

“We're still very numb, but
healthy,” said Tanya Pender,
who credits her seven-year-old
daughter Bria for the fact no
one was injured.

Bria woke up screaming in
her bed, said Pender, thus
rousing other members of the
family ftom sicep. Pender’s $2-

“We lived there three years,
it was a darn good house,” said
Pender, who ts hopetul the loss
will be covered by insurance.

Pender said bria’s teachers
and classmates at Eastview cle-
mentary have beea very kind.

“People 1 don’t know are
coming up to me and asking if
we're all right. It’s amazing,
North Vancouver is still some-
what small.”

“They took a picture of
this lire boy. Anybody who
knows babies knows. they
-obably had to keep hint sit-
ung there for quite a long
time with lights on him and
the camera there and waiting
until he decided to empty his

Wadder and then shoot a
bunch of shorts. Eden’: think
the kid) even liked this,
because he’s crving. They
were intentionally cruel to this
baby and exploited him. They
intentionally got him urinat-
ing to focus attention on his

genitalia, so it has specitic sex-
ual intent.”

“The problem is to call it
pornography, you have to
prove the magazine has a sex-
ual intent. This magazine did-
n't primarily,” Makin said.

Said) North Vancouver

RCMP Const. Heidi
Holtman, “It was reviewed by
the experts. The magazine was
determined not to be porno-
graphic in nature or obscene.”

The = magazines were
returned to MeNews last
Thursday.
