AdvertisingFeature OSHAWA - A mother ac- cused of manslaughter in the death of her eight- month-old son returns to court on Thursday. Jordan Brownell, 26, made brief court appear- ances on Monday and Tuesday, before her case was put over to July 12 for a bail hearing. Wearing a black hoodie and pyjama bottoms, Brownell looked dishev- elled, with greasy hair and bags under her eyes. Brownell and Denim Henderson were charged on Friday, July 6, in the death of Brownell's son Ka- leb McKay. He died on Dec. 29, 2016, in an apartment on Robson Street in Oshawa. During her court ap- pearance on Monday, Brownell was additionally charged with failing to pro- vide the necessities of life. Henderson, 25, was re- manded in custody on Fri- day and is scheduled to ap- pear in court via video on Friday, July 13. He is charged with second-de- gree murder, aggravated assault and assault caus- ing bodily harm. During his brief appear- ance, Henderson spoke on- ly to confirm his name. He stood, hands in cuffs and his face contorted as he wept during his appear- ance. The suspects were charged after an investiga- tion into Kaleb's death in late 2016. On Dec. 29, 2016, officers responded to an apartment on Robson Street in Osha- wa for an unknown trouble call. Police found Kaleb, who wasn't breathing. Paramedics tried but couldn't revive the child. An autopsy was con- ducted, and the death was ruled a homicide. The vic- tim died of numerous inju- ries. A neighbour remem- bers the night when the lifeless body of the infant was removed from an Osh- awa apartment building. John Allan said he and his wife were getting ready for bed at around 10 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2016, when they looked outside to see the street flooded with police cars. At first, there were on- ly police cars at the scene and no ambulance, Allan said. When the ambulance did show up, "they were in no hurry to go in. The am- bulance attendants went into the apartment with all their gear," he noted. Shortly afterward, one ambulance attendant came out and "he was visibly up- set. The other attendant came out and consoled him. A supervisor showed up. He and the attendant walked up and down the street." Allan noted the atten- dant had his head down and his face buried in his hands. The pair sat in the su- pervisor's vehicle for about 30 minutes, he recalled. Shortly thereafter, an unmarked police vehicle showed up and "an older gentleman got out with a folder under his arm. It was like it was on TV, and I thought it was a homicide," Allan said. A coroner showed up, and people were going in and out of the apartment, he added. "A lifeless body was brought out by a police offi- cer and put in the ambu- lance," Allan noted. "The coroner got into the ambulance, and even- tually a police officer car- ried the body, now in a body bag, and placed (it) in the coroner's vehicle," he said, adding the coroner then left soon after. "It was very heartbreak- ing to see a police officer come out with the body," Allan stated. At one point, a male was on the street and scream- ing 'He's gone, he's gone,' Allan said. Allan added he didn't know the family but had seen them a few times on the street. Since the incident, the family hasn't returned, he said. Allan noted that, in ad- dition to Kaleb, there was a young girl also living in the apartment. Police said in a media re- lease Friday that the charg- es were laid following a "lengthy investigation" but did not provide further de- tails. A source with knowl- edge of the case said the in- vestigation included wire- tap surveillance of persons of interest. Kaleb's death has now been deemed the sixth ho- micide in Durham Region in 2016. CRIME Suspects in Oshawa murder return to court Thursday, Friday KEITH GILLIGAN KGilligan@durhamregion.com Denim Henderson, 25, was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court via video next Friday, July 13. He is charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm in the death of eight-month-old Kaleb McKay. Jordan Brownell, 26, Kaleb's mother, is charged with manslaughter.

Ontario Provincial Po- lice Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the highway was closed for hours because of the accident. "The two dump trucks were exiting the highway and entering the construc- tion zone," said Sgt. Schmidt. "There is con- struction zone signs lead- ing up to the area, as well, advising that the highway is reducing from three lanes to two lanes." Emergency crews were dispatched to the west- bound lanes for the report of a critically injured mo- torcyclist, who was with- out vital signs after hitting a dump truck. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene at about 7:30 a.m. The lanes reopened Monday afternoon follow- ing the investigation. OPP have yet to provide the name of the Whitby man.

"It's been a long-stand- ing successful theatre for over 20 years. I think what makes it so special is we're bringing something new to the theatre," said Van Lange. The theatre features Ontario's first Cineplex Clubhouse, an auditorium designed specifically for children and their fami- lies, which is scheduled to open in the coming weeks. The clubhouse will fea- ture colourful decor, play- ful seating, a selection of family-friendly films and an indoor play structure where kids can climb, slide and explore before their movie begins. To maximize playtime, fami- lies can also take advan- tage of in-auditorium food service and have conces- sion items delivered right to their seats. "This is a totally unique experience for families," said Van Lange. Guests can also enjoy a wide selection of food in- cluding premium nachos, hotdogs and poutines, fro- zen treats. The XSCAPE Entertainment Centre gives guests the opportu- nity to play a wide range of interactive games before and after their movie. The Cineplex VIP Cine- mas experience features four auditoriums as well as a fully licensed VIP lounge where guests can socialize, enjoy food and drink before and after a movie and even play a game of pool. The new Pickering theatre is the 11th VIP Cinemas in Onta- rio. The adults-only experi- ence allows guests to kick back, relax and have their food and beverage orders delivered right to their luxury recliners. Guests can order from an expan- ded food menu that fea- tures fresh salads and bowls, burgers, artisanal pizzas and desserts as well as a wide selection of handcrafted cocktails, wines and premium craft beers. "People are always pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food," said Van Lange. A Wednesday feature, Dinner At The Movies, al- lows guests to enjoy two VIP movie tickets, one shareable appetizer, two main entrees and one shareable dessert for $69. "Pickering movie-lov- ers have enjoyed coming to Famous Players Picker- ing 8 Cinemas for over 20 years and we are excited to introduce this new, state- of-the-art theatre to the community," said Ellis Ja- cob, president and CEO of Cineplex. "Offering a vari- ety of experiences to guests of all ages, Cineplex Cinemas Pickering and VIP does not just have a little something for every- one ... it has a lot of some- thing for everyone." Jacob spoke to guests at the theatre's grand open- ing on July 5. Guests were treated to see their choice of three films: Ant-Man and the Wasp, Jurassic World and Ocean's 8. Mayor Dave Ryan and members of Pickering council, along with Pick- ering-Uxbridge MP Jenni- fer O'Connell, who worked at the former Famous Players as her first job, were in attendance. "Pickering is a diverse community with discern- ing tastes and we are thrilled to have a brand new theatre that offers the latest and most innovative entertainment experienc- es," said Ryan. "Cineplex has been a top attraction in Pickering for over two decades and its continued investment in our commu- nity will undoubtedly help strengthen the arts and entertainment landscape for more decades to come." Ryan told the crowd he's already had discus- sions about further expan- sion of the Cineplex brand in Pickering, considering the Durham Live enter- tainment complex is set to take shape at Bayly and Church streets. "This municipality is on the cusp of greatness," he said. "And I don't say this as the mayor, I say this as a citizen." Generally, admission to the theatre is $13.50 (general), $9.99 (senior) and $8.99 (child). Admissi- on pricing for VIP Cine- mas is $24.99. But pricing varies based on the day of the week and special of- fers and screenings like Scene, Family Favourites and Tuesday pricing. Tickets and showtimes are available now at the theatre's box office, on the Cineplex Mobile App and at Cineplex.com.

Lisa Acton says her teen daughter faced an attempt- ed robbery by fellow stu- dents at her high school, then was threatened and in- timidated for months. Desiree Beaudoin says her daughter was stabbed in the leg with a pen, in the classroom. Christina McLeod says her six-year-old son was choked twice in the school- yard - by the same child. They are four examples of Durham District School Board parents who are fed up, angry and frustrated with how schools are re- sponding to incidents of bul- lying and violence. They all want to see tougher consequences, more supervision and bet- ter supports for victims. "They have all this anti- bullying stuff, but it's crap," says Acton. She says students at R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute (CVI) in Oshawa attempted to rob her daughter of her shoes and clothes last fall, then spent months threatening her. Acton says her daughter developed anxiety and missed a significant amount of school, despite mother and daughter repeatedly asking school officials for help. "This was allowed to con- tinue all year," she says. Nicholl's son Greyson just wrapped up Grade 1 at David Bouchard Public School in Oshawa. His mom says he was called names, teased and pushed around throughout the year, - then in early June his arm was broken in an in- cident in the schoolyard. When an older child was picking on his friend, Grey- son says he intervened, then became the target. He tried to run away, but Nicholl says he was shoved to the ground, breaking his arm in two places. "Apparently no adult saw any of this," Nicholl says. "He was screaming and crying in pain. I don't know how this could hap- pen, school is supposed to be a safe place." Nicholl says the school didn't take the bullying or the recent injury seriously - she is so upset that she is moving Greyson to a differ- ent school for next year. Beaudoin is also plan- ning to switch schools after her daughter was stabbed in the leg with a pen while in class at Lakewoods Public School in Oshawa. "It was bruised, swelling, bleeding," she says, noting that the child responsible had bullied her daughter be- fore. "This is not a safe envi- ronment. What if it had been scissors? What if this had been my daughter's neck or her eye? This could have been much more severe." Beaudoin is frustrated that the child who hurt her daughter received an in- school suspension, which she calls "a slap on the wrist." McLeod says she is seri- ously considering home schooling after her son - who just finished Grade 1 at a DDSB school she has asked not to name - was choked on two separate occasions by the same child. One incident happened outside over lunch hour and the second was on the school bus, McLeod says. She says there were "no consequences" for the child responsible, other than dis- cussions with the principal. "Nothing has been done, and I don't feel like anything will be done," she says. "How can I send him back in Sep- tember? There is no reason for me to think this won't happen a third time." On June 26, David Bou- chard Public School hosted a parent meeting in re- sponse to recent bullying concerns at the school that were highlighted in news re- ports and on social media. Parents had the opportu- nity to ask questions and share concerns with school staff and senior DDSB staff in small group discussions. One issue that came up frequently, was supervi- sion. Parents said bullying and violence often happen at recess, lunch or while stu- dents are in the yard before and after school. At David Bouchard spe- cifically, parents said the large schoolyard makes it difficult for adults to watch students closely. DDSB officials said it may be possible to "close in" large schoolyards with chalk lines or pylons to re- duce the amount of space available to kids and create better sight lines for super- visors. Another concern raised by parents, was conse- quences for those who bully or physically injure another student. Parents asked why lengthy suspensions aren't being handed down to re- peat offenders - or even ex- pulsions. Ken MacNaughton, the DDSB's safe schools officer, said all Ontario schools are required to take a "progres- sive discipline" approach, and that principals must consider "mitigating fac- tors" when disciplining a student. "People hear the world discipline, they start to think punitive. But progres- sive discipline is not about punitive measures. It's about corrective measures," MacNaughton told parents at the David Bouchard meet- ing. "It's about a continuum of supports and interven- tions for students that are age appropriate, that deal with the social and emotion- al development of the child and the child's own needs." A DDSB information sheet on progressive disci- pline lists detentions, reflec- tion sheets and behaviour contracts as possible conse- quences - as well as suspen- sion or expulsion. A 2012 memorandum from the Ministry of Educa- tion says principals "must suspend a student for bully- ing and consider referring that student for expulsion if (1) the student has previous- ly been suspended for bully- ing, and (2) the student's continuing presence in the school creates, in the princi- pal's opinion, an unaccept- able risk to the safety of an- other person. When both of these conditions are met, the principal must suspend the student and consider re- ferring the student for an ex- pulsion hearing." Parents say that sounds like a strong stance - but in reality it comes down to how individual principals inter- pret "bullying" and whether they deem the offending stu- dent to be a risk to others. "It seems like the princi- pal at my school doesn't be- lieve in bullying ... they say this is conflict," says Beau- doin, the parent whose child was stabbed with a pen. DDSB superintendent Richard Kennelly says he believes prevention in the form of self regulation skills, character education and antibullying initiatives, is key to keeping schools safe. "We work with a lot of ex- perts in the field, and it's pretty clear that what we need to do is be on the proac- tive side as much as possi- ble, so that we have less to deal with on the reactive side," he said. "At the end of the day we look at schools as communities, and a lot of the work we do is around building community." Parents like McLeod say they're tired of "politically correct" approaches and want schools to get tougher. "Honestly, I don't want to hear about progressive dis- cipline," she says. "My child was choked. He couldn't breathe. That's my baby. I want some justice for him." NEWS DDSB parents call for schools to get tougher on bullying Ayrin Nicholl is concerned after her seven-year-old son Greyson had his arm broken at David Bouchard Public School earlier this month. She says he had endured ongoing bullying and that the school didn't do enough to protect him. Sabrina Byrnes/Metroland Greyson’s Gathering Erica Parsons, a local mom of six, says it broke her heart to hear about Greyson's experience. She began collaborating with other moms to plan a big park playdate to show support for Greyson, and other kids who have experienced bullying. Greyson's Gathering will take place Saturday, Aug. 4 at noon at Lakeview Park in Oshawa. "As a mom, all of this is really worrisome," she says. "I just wanted a way to show these kids some love, and show them that there are adults and kids out there who care." Attendees are invited to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy an afternoon of "bully-free fun." That's my baby. I want some justice for him. - Christina McLeod, concerned parent JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com 5 | Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , J u l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m @cityofpickering CustomerCareCentre905.683.7575(24hourline) customercare@pickering.ca pickering.ca Date Meeting/Location Time July11 CommitteeofAdjustment CityHall–MainCommitteeRoom 7:00pm Allmeetingsareopentothepublic.

It was always wrong for the City of Oshawa to stop pro- viding social housing. Council added insult to in- jury by choosing to sell the former social housing units to the private sector for more than $1 million in- stead of selling it to Corner- stone Community Associa- tion which would have maintained the 20 units as affordable housing. Mayor Henry defends these decisions by claiming social housing is the re- sponsibility of the region of Durham. He also uses ordinary people as a scapegoat for this mean-spirited policy, stating he needs to "justify to the public why we would turn down such a good bid." Rather, Mayor Henry should justify to the public why he is choosing to line the pockets of developers instead of ensuring critical affordable housing units are maintained. Mayor Henry is run- ning to become to next chair of Durham region council and, given his stat- ed belief that social hous- ing is a regional responsi- bility, we should expect that regional investment in social housing will be a centrepiece of his platform in October. Jesse Cullen Oshawa Resident happy Premier Ford to keep nuclear in Pickering To the editor: I can't yet admit to being much of a fan of Premier Doug Ford however it was great to read that his gov- ernment will support the continued operation of the Pickering Nuclear Genera- tion Station until 2024. I can only image the dev- astating consequence in Durham Region that a re- negotiated NAFTA Agree- ment could have on Gener- al Motors in Oshawa as well as a provincial NDP government that commit- ted to shutting down PNGS during their election cam- paign. When I began working for Ontario Hydro, the business mandate was "to produce electricity for the people of Ontario at the cheapest possible cost." Since then successive On- tario governments have al- lowed private, for-profit utility generators to be- come part of the supply chain and contrary to what the Clean Air Alli- ance would want us to be- lieve, it is the high cost of these long-term contracts for wind and solar genera- tion that has most contrib- uted to our soaring elec- tricity costs and not nucle- ar. PNGS has an exemplary environmental, produc- tion and safety record and closing it down makes about as much sense as lis- tening to Andrea Horwath and the Clean Air Alliance. Steven Clift Whitby •LETTERS & COMMENTARY • I woke up this morning with an earache. Not much fun. And then, when I went to take my vehicle in for some bodywork, the rental car I had arranged for had not arrived. I would have to wait half an hour for it to be driven down from Brace- bridge. It was hot and very hu- mid, as it has been for much of the past two weeks, and I began to feel my own emotional mercu- ry climbing up toward 35 degrees above cranky. I gave the girl on the phone from the rental company a dose of snippy, hung up and immediately began to feel like a tool. I'm not that guy. I don't like being that guy. And I should know enough to gag the fat- mouthed idiot whenever he raises his ugly head. You see, the problem is that that version of Neil, as well as being a jerk, is cursed with debilitating myopia. He cannot see past his own nose, his own petulant needs. And he, consequently, possesses virtually no per- spective. You may have noticed that people who have no perspective on things are perennially unhappy peo- ple. They never see the big- ger picture - and that's where the joy lives. Yes, I have an earache, and yes I have to wait for my rental car, and yes it's hotter than a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp - so what? I am not infirm. I am not destitute. I am not trapped in an underground cave with the world's dumbest soccer coach. I live in para- dise. I have a lake that I can jump into to cool off no matter how hot it gets. I have people who love me, warts and all. I will shake off this flea of an earache, with the help of the remarkable health care available to me for mere change, and I will re- turn to the robust health that I normally enjoy. Life is good. A lot of us should get that tattooed across our foreheads - backwards, so that whenever we look in the mirror and begin to feel sorry for ourselves, we are reminded of something very important. One day medical sci- ence will discover that the root cause of most disease has something to do with our eyesight. We're usually just not seeing things clearly enough. –Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

OSHAWA - An animal- rights activist charged with break and enter in- sists he committed no crime when he gained en- try to an Enniskillen mink farm, then shot video that was posted online. "There was no break- in," Malcolm Klimowicz said outside the Oshawa courthouse Thursday, July 5. "I basically hopped a fence and walked into a mink shed. I didn't even open a door." About 20 demonstrators showed up in support of Klimowicz when he made his first appearance in a re- mand court Thursday. He is due back in court Aug. 2. Klimowicz gained entry to the Barton Road farm in June of 2017. He posted vid- eo from that farm - and four others in the province - as part of a campaign to raise awareness about what he contends are abusive con- ditions common in the fur industry. "I'm trying to tell the sto- ry of these animals," he said, describing his actions as citizen journalism. "Any social justice movement thrives when you shine a bright light on what's going on." Klimowicz declined to comment on a claim made by an Enniskillen bed-and- breakfast operator that he falsely implicated her in the operation of the farm. "I'm not a lawyer," he said. Klimowicz's methods were criticized by a repre- sentative of the Interna- tional Fur Federation, who said that videos posted by activists provide a distort- ed view of the industry. "The unfortunate thing about break-ins of this na- ture is that you release vid- eotape without context," said Nancy Daigneault. "And when you show a vid- eo without context, it's just not correct." Outside the courthouse Thursday, supporter Ad- am Stirr said Klimowicz should be applauded for his efforts to sway public opin- ion about the fur industry. "It was the only way to get the footage to show the public what's happening," he said. Stirr called the fur in- dustry "morally reprehen- sible." "There's no need to raise and murder sentient be- ings solely for their skin," he said. NEWS Animal rights activist says he committed no crime at Durham mink farm Demonstrators were outside of the Oshawa Courthouse on July 5, in support of Malcolm Klimowicz, an animal welfare activist charged with breaking into an Enniskillen mink farm. In June of 2017 Klimowicz shot video of caged minks at a farm on Barton Road then posted images online, claiming they depicted mistreatment of the animals. Following an investigation by Durham police Klimowicz was charged with break and enter. Klimowicz was making his first court appearance and he addressed his supporters before entering the courthouse.

"I think it's phenome- nal," said Clarington May- or Adrian Foster. "Think about how many lives have been touched, in a good way, by nuclear medicine. How cool is it that's in our backyard? Our communi- ty is literally healing peo- ple." Darlington Nuclear will be the first large-scale commercial nuclear power station in the world to pro- duce Mo-99. The Claring- ton reactors will help en- sure the long-term supply of the critical medical iso- tope that is used in more than 30 million life-saving diagnostic and medical treatments each year. Mo-99 is a parent iso- tope of technetium-99 (Tc-99m) which is used for imaging to detect and diag- nose heart disease, cancer and more. The National Research Universal reactor in Chalk River used to produce Mo-99, however that pro- duction stopped in 2016. Since then hospitals and health care providers in North America have had to import the medical isotope from Europe, Africa and Australia. The National Research Universal reac- tor was permanently shut- down this March. When the Darlington reactor begins producing Mo-99 and Tc-99m it will result in a steady domestic supply of this life-saving medical tool. Darlington's CANDU reactors allow for the insertion and removal of medical isotope targets while producing electrici- ty. Ontario's nuclear in- dustry is a major world supplier of isotopes in- cluding Cobalt-60 (used to sterilize medical equip- ment) and tritium (used for photoluminescence). OPG and Bruce Power sup- ply 70 per cent of the world's Cobalt-60. The new Mo-99 isotope production is made possi- ble by the recently-an- nounced collaboration be- tween Ontario Power Gen- eration's subsidiary Cana- dian Nuclear Partners and a subsidiary of BWX Tech- nologies, Inc. (BWXT). BWXT will take the mate- rial from Darlington to their facility near Ottawa to process and produce the medical isotope. "This exciting collabo- ration will save lives here in Ontario and across North America by giving patients quicker access to vital medical treatments. Canada will once again be a leader in producing this critical medical tool that is used in over 30 million medical procedures across the globe each year," Glenn Jager, president of Canadi- an Nuclear Partners, said in a press release. The proposal to pro- duce Mo-99 at Darlington will need regulatory re- views and approvals, from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and Health Canada. The Cla- rington nuclear plant is expected to start produc- tion of the medical isotope by the end of 2019. "It's a great thing for Clarington," said Sheila Hall, executive director of the Clarington Board of Trade. "As we learn more about what we can do with isotopes, and the innova- tion moves forward, it po- sitions Clarington in a good spot." NEWS The Darlington Nuclear Generating Station will be the first large-scale commercial nuclear power station in the world to produce the lifesaving medical isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99).

It makes no sense that Durham drug officers, in- cluding veteran detective Cyril Gillis, would put their professional and per- sonal lives on the line by committing a crime to ad- vance an investigation, Su- perior Court Justice Mi- chelle Fuerst said in a rul- ing released July 3. "I accept the testimony of Detective Gillis that he would never commit a criminal act to move an in- vestigation forward," Fuerst wrote in her deci- sion, rejecting a motion by Brett Dunstan that evi- dence against him, includ- ing large quantities of co- caine and marijuana seized from his home, be ruled inadmissible at trial. The judge's findings were hailed by Gillis, a 20- year member of the Dur- ham police who is now an inspector. "I feel vindicated," he said. "The accused made a snake oil pitch to the court. He attempted to besmirch my character and my repu- tation." "The court didn't buy it and the truth came out," Gillis said. The ruling follows a court odyssey that saw Dun- stan's 2015 conviction for drug offences overturned by the Ontario Court of Ap- peal, which ruled his lawyer ought to have been allowed to more thoroughly pursue a theory that Durham police kicked in the door of his Markham home then tipped off York Regional Police in hopes they'd discover the dope stashed there. Dunstan, an associate of suspects being investigat- ed by Durham police dur- ing an operation dubbed Project Gladiator, was ar- rested after York police re- sponded to an anonymous caller reporting a break-in in the early morning hours of Sept. 20, 2011. The police found evidence of drug ac- tivity and obtained a war- rant, seizing drugs, includ- ing 43 pounds of marijuana and almost five kilos of co- caine. At his first trial, Dun- stan's lawyer put forth a theory that Durham police had staged the break-in and that Gillis was the per- son who made the anony- mous call to York police. A judge dismissed the Char- ter application and the trial proceeded, resulting in a conviction and an eight- year sentence for Dunstan. When the new trial or- dered by the Court of Ap- peal began in Newmarket this year Fuerst heard Dunstan's application to exclude the drug evidence on the basis of a breach of his Charter rights. Fuerst concluded the defence had failed to prove its theory that police set Dunstan up, finding evi- dence from experts who testified on speech pat- terns unreliable and in one instance, concluding a de- fence expert was "not an objective, unbiased wit- ness." Some of that witness's conclusions, which did not support the theory that Gil- lis was the anonymous cal- ler, were not disclosed to the Crown, Fuerst noted. The judge noted that Dunstan, a peripheral character in Project Gladi- ator, was not critical to the success of the investiga- tion. Although the project had suffered setbacks, such as when one key play- er discovered a tracking de- vice planted by police, "the Gladiator project was not in trouble," Fuerst as- sured. The project concluded in November of 2011 with more than 30 arrests, the ruling notes. The judge also found it unlikely that Gillis and the other officers would place themselves in legal and professional jeopardy by employing "maverick" techniques as alleged by Dunstan. "I do not accept ... that Gillis would put his career and potentially his liberty at risk by committing the serious offences of break and enter, obstruct police and obstruct justice for the sake of trying to advance a single drug operation," Fuerst wrote. A more likely scenario is that Dunstan was target- ed by other players in the drug trade, said Fuerst. The matter returns to court in Newmarket July 20. NEWS Police did not stage break-in to set up drug suspect, judge rules JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com Durham police Deputy Chief Scott Burns addressed the media December 9 in Whitby, providing details of Project Gladiator. The investigation, carried out in conjunction with York police and other police services, resulted in the seizure of more than $800,000 worth of drugs and the arrest of 30 suspects.
