Wednesday, June 14, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page > Price of fishing goes up Dear Sir: As an avid outdoorsperson I am very angry at the news this A.M. of raising the fishing licens- es (this was reported from Sudbury CBC). Somehow, I had the feeling when they first introduced the license that it wouldn't be long before there is an increase, and here it comes. I feel that by living here on the Journalists have responsibility "frontier", we as Northerncrs are getting it socked to us by high gas prices, equipment, food, etc...you name it and we pay much more than persons in the East. I hope the O.F.A.H. (Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters) will stand up and say this is enough and put a stop to the increase in licenccs before it goes any further. Fishing and hunting uscd to be a sport that almost anyone could afford to take part in, and now the government is trying to put a damper on it. It's time we put a stop to what they're doing to us. They are working for us not vice versa. Come on sportsmen and women, speak up for your rights. Shirley Love O.F.A.H. Member and obligation to uphold laws Dear Sir: Re your editorial "Public's Right to Know Comes First." The issue here as I see it is actually two issues and the application of a double standard. Issue number one, "The pub- lic's right to know." To know what? The contents of the budget, or that the budget information had been stolen? Reporters, as most people know, are given the opportunity to preview the budget in a "Lock Up" situation, which simply means that reporters are aware that the budget is a secret docu- ment until revealed to the public through the finance minister's parliamentary presentation. Mr. Small knew the informa- tion he was given was a stolen, secret document and he, like any other person, is responsible to report a criminal act to the authorities. This would have given Mr. Small a good headline news story. Issue number two, our attitude 'as a society towards theft. Theft is the act of taking that which does not belong to you. We also call it stealing, shoplifting or larceny..Regardless what it is called it is still an illegal act and cannot be condoned. To do so would be saying that some things can and should be stolen. With regard to the double stan- dard aspect, the law states that possession of stolen property is illegal. Mr. Small docs not deny possessing stolen property, there- fore why should he be exempt from prosccution? Because he is a journalist? Should the person committing the offence be freed for aiding a journalist?Why do we have laws to prohibit theft and why have some civil servants taken an oath of secrecy? ' Journalists, like everyonc, have an obligation to society to see that our laws and statutes are upheld. With regard to Mr. Wilson's security responsibilities, you con- demn secrecy on the one hand and then criticize the lack of security. To suggest that the govern- ment step in and tell the R.C.M.P. how to enforce the laws of the land truly smacks of totalitarian- ism. Your final paragraph is truly disturbing, "What we are talking about here is the public's right to know. Regardless of how infor- mation was obtained, this right should always come first." Surely governments have an obligation to keep certain information secret and confidential. To have the fear that because some civil servant has a problem with his or her boss, and that indeed, the boss could be held ransom for fear of some information being prema- turely released, would give the impression that a government could no longer effectively gov- cm. According to our parliamen- lary system, the party with the most seats forms the government, and the parties with fewer seats are the opposition. A reporters' role is to report the news, not cre- atc news. A free press must realize that with the freedom also comes a responsibility and a trust which means the laws of the land apply equally and should be uphcld by all.
