Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - November 27, 2000, Winnipeg, Manitoba A local Winnipeg free november 2660 Crow apologies extended after i Landrun Hunt ends with foot in Mouth readers trash moms trailer talk t i he admonishing email and angry phone Calls began to arrive on my desk almost As soon As saturdays paper hit readers front what should have been a feel Good Story fort Garry Mother personally Hunts Down hit and run Driver who totalled her car and nearly injured her three year old Daugh Ter had turned into a fee bad a fee bad Story for everyone i might ill leave it to the readers who wrote to and ill i am sympathetic to Joanne Smiths and her daughters experience As victims of a i Landrun Driver relentless Pursuit pays it must have been devastating for her to think of what might have happened to her and her daughter because of an irresponsible her anger is certainly its Joannes stereotyping of other people who had nothing to do with her terrible that prompts me to respond to some of her comments in your Joanne first describes the person driving the vehicle that hit her As a husky woman who looked like a typical soccer obviously Shes not a soc cer or shed know that soccer moms come in All shapes and Many of whom look just like then after getting a better look at the i Landrun Joanne decides that she Doest look like a husky soc cer mom but More like a trailer Park trash she must not know people who live in trailer Parks or shed know that they come in All shapes and and Many look just like As for her reference to trailer Park i think most of us would agree that trash is no matter where it comes i Hope Justice will prevail and some one is held accountable for this Acci Joanne should be proud of her but ashamed of her Nar Row View of Debbie Karpenko Iii Sinclair in appalled to learn that people who live in trailer Parks Are trash and Are perhaps Joanne needs to take a tour of some trailer these residential areas have a much neater and organized appearance than do some of the areas of the City where garbage and junk litter Many trailer Parks have Homes which Are just As and spacious As any new Home of the same size in the with the same City water and sewer Doris Gordon Iii dear Sinclair i was deeply disappointed when i read your column in the saturday free it was apparent that you saw no problem with Joanne Smiths characterization of the woman who ran into her As trailer Park the fact that you printed her description without so much As a com ment on her use of a Nasty stereotype implies i wonder if that would have been the Case if the woman haunt been but instead had dark and had been described As Reserve i am bringing this to your attention because you need to realize that implicit approval of this Type of stereo Type in a Public forum such As your column simply serves to perpetuate there Are Many people who live in various types of alternative including Mobile out of necessity or by in my my parents bought a Mobile Home while my father was serv ing in the armed partly because it was affordable housing and partly because it could be moved when my father was posted to a hew i Hope Joanne Smith will rethink her description of the woman in and indeed her own you would serve the Community in a much better fashion if you were to Call peo ple on these types of descriptions instead of just printing Nancy Kerr Iii yesterday i contacted everyone who had taken the time to comment via e mail or i apologized to and then phoned Joanne i Joanne said of her initial reaction to seeing the words in the term fat she had spoken to the term trailer Park trash had been said Between her and a Mutual who mentioned it to other than the initial description for identification Joanne said its irrelevant what the woman looked like and she was sorry for the words she i think its Joanne said of the words she spoke in its just Plain even for what she did to in horrified for offending any i reminded Joanne that in moments of anger people often use words they but i want angry and i had time to think before i included her comments in the so its More my fault than in Joannes anxiety Over the i Landrun Accident had been com pounded because of poor judgment on my i said i was sorry for and then i warned her to be pre pared today for another 15 minutes of of Joanne d final Price reductions on 2000
