Crime Stoppers program explained Some commonly asked questions Crime Stoppers, by now, is a term most people are familiar with or have at least heard in passing. The Crime Stopper concept means changing the old idea of not reporting crime as you may get involved in lengthy court cases as a witness and people will know you were the one who reported the ille- gal activity. The public can now assist police in solving crime and clearing their conscience by reporting any type of criminal activity to Crime Stoppers. In Thunder Bay call 623-8477 or long distance, no charge call, 1- 800-465-6844. The following ques- tion and answer. should clarify any mysteries you may have. Should you or your organization wish more information, please con- tact any Police Force or O.P.P. detachment and we would be more than pleased to assist you. Crime Stoppers Questions & Answers Q. What is Crime Stoppers? A. Crime Stoppers is a non prof- it program relying on cooperation ' between the citizens of our district, the news media and our police forces. Crime Stoppers encourages people to call our toll-free number with information to solve crimes already committed, those about to occur and/or the whereabouts of wanted persons. Q. Who operates Crime Stoppers? A. A group of concerned citi- - zens comprise the Board of Directors. The reward fund is not tax dollars, instead monies solicited from the private sector by board members. It is the local board's duty to administer absolute control over the fund and payments there- of. All monies raised locally will be used locally. Since Crime Stoppers is incorporated as a charitable orga- nization, all donations are tax- exempt. Q. What kinds of crimes can be reported? A. Any crime can be reported to Crime Stoppers, ranging from drug tips, thefts, murders, break and enters and any other criminal offences. Q. How is anonymity guaran- teed? A. When you call our direct line, 1-800-465-6488, you will be assigned a special code number which you will identify yourself with in all future dealings with call will not be traced or recorded. You will not be pressured to testify. You never have to give your name. No one will know who you are. Q. What do I do after I report a crime? A. You will be asked to call back in three weeks and identify yourself with your special code number. If an arrest has been made, you will receive a reward. Unlike other reward programs which stip- ulate "Arrest and Conviction", Crime Stoppers pays upon arrest only. Your waiting time for payout is drastically reduced. Q. What is the range of rewards and who decides how much will be paid for each arrest? A. The rewards range from $25 to $1,000 depending on the nature of the crime. The arresting officer and the Police Community Liaison Officer will suggest an amount of reward after reviewing the case, but the local Board of Directors will have the final say on the amount of the reward. Q. How would I collect my reward? A. Various pick-up spots have been established at businesses throughout the district. You can choose one of these spots that you would feel most comfortable enter- ing. Just give your special code number to the person there and you will receive your reward in cash. You do not have to pick up the reward yourself. Anyone who you give your special code number to can pick up the reward, be if your mother, father, brother, sister, friend or cousin. If you wish, you can also use any of the pick-up spots in any other community at your choice. This is all arranged through the coordinator on the Crime Stoppers hotline, 1-800-465-6844. Q. Can I call any police sta- tion or Zenith 50,000? A. Yes, by advising the person answering the phone that it is a Crime Stoppers call. Should you be looking for a reward or wanting to know how the investigation has progressed, you will eventually have to call the special toll free line for a code number, and to make pick-up arrangements. We certainly hope that the above information is helpful in understanding how Crime Stoppers works. If there is some area we haven't covered, please do not hesi- tate to contact Crime Stoppers through their toll free number or any of the local directors. Page 7, News, Wednesday, December 7 , 1988 Eating habits can play a role in reducing risk of cancer Diet responsible for 35% of cancer Your eating habits can influence the way you feel and the way your body fights disease. The Canadian Cancer Society believes that what you eat can also influence your risk of cancer. Much of what the Society has learned about cancer and diet comes from epidemiological studies (studies of the distribution and causes of disease). It has been found that cancer rates in different countries show sig- nificant variations. It was found that when immigrants adopted the lifestyles of their new country, they also acquire the same incidence of some cancers as the orig- inal population. This much difference in cancer rates is not due to genetic reasons, but rather lifestyle and envi- ronmental factors. ' Diet has been isolated as a lifestyle factor responsi- ble for up to. 35% of cancer in the world. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that you eat less fat, eat more fibre containing foods, eat several servings of fruits and vegetables daily, maintain your ideal weight, minimize your consumption of smoked nitrite cured and salted foods, and if alcohol is con- sumed, have a limit of two or fewer drinks per day. The Society believes that Canada's Food Guide, developed by Health & Welfare Canada, is a good blueprint for healthy eating. The food guide can assist you in making sensible food choices which satisfy bota your nutritional and energy requirements. Further studies are needed before anyone can confi- dently say that eating certain foods will reduce or increase an individual's chances of developing cancer. The exciting thing is that, increasingly, studies in ani- _mals are pointing to the same thing -- diet is important in the development of cancer. For the general public all - these studies mean that in the area of cancer prevention -- we can have a hand in it. For more information contact the Canadian Cancer Society.
