Police blasted for lax probe of baby death Toronto a the Peel Region police Force has directed a scathing indictment against its York Region counterpart for its failure to properly investigate the death of seven month old Zachary Rogers a an investigation that ended Friday with an officer being docked 16 Days pay. The baby son of Laura Morrison and Scott Rogers was found hanging in a car seat at his babysitters Home in mount Albert ont., on april 1,1997. Zachary died 16 Days later. The Peel Force was called in on May 12,1998, to investigate the death after an inquest was aborted by prosecutors who said the York Force had failed to provide them with relevant information. The information related to Babysitter Cynthia Taylor a previous contacts with the regions children said society and the failure of York const. Neil Orr to Tell prosecutors she had been found guilty of assaulting her husband in an incident after Zachary a death. Although the Peel report did no to recommend the laying of criminal charges and a new coroners jury found that Zachary a death was accidental the report raises questions about the York forces ability to probe serious crimes. The 238-Page Peel document obtained by the Toronto Star says the York police Force failed to conduct an adequate investigation even though it had been provided with a detailed set of procedures for probing cases involving the sudden death of children under two years old by the provinces chief Coroner. Chief Coroner or. James Young said the highly detailed set of procedures must be used when investigating All sudden deaths of very Young children. A the extent of the investigation could be summarized As the taking of an audiotape interview of Cynthia Taylor and an Experiment with a Dummy carried out by const. Orr a the Peel report noted. No photographs of Zachary a injuries or of the postmortem were taken the report noted. Some of the strongest criticism in the report is directed toward the Lack of training of Yorkus officers including Orris supervisor det. Sgt. Rodney sine. Orr was the Only member of the York Region Force to face internal discipline charges in connection with the probe. On Friday he was ordered to forfeit 16 Days pay after being convicted of discreditable conduct on july 31 by a police adjudicator.

Many eventually die of Falls from the progressive neurological condition that affects 100,000 canadians 3,000 of whom live in Manitoba. Yamron is the first Parkinson a patient in Winnipeg to have had the surgery done by local surgeons. There Are perhaps two other Parkinson a patients and maybe four others with different disorders in the entire City who like Yamron Are bionic men with deep brain implants. Diagnosed with the disease in the Early �?T90s, the symptoms were slow to creep up on Yamron but in the months before the 60-year-old Deli owner underwent the 18-hour surgical ordeal the disease began to escalate. Almost overnight it seemed the telltale tremors became pronounced. His body became rigid a his walk a shuffle his posture stooped. He lost his sense of balance.

Key player in Mideast peace talks faces probe Washington the state department has suspended the Security clearance of . Ambassador to Israel Martin s. Indyk pending an investigation into alleged Security violations a state department official said yesterday. The official speaking on condition of anonymity said there was a no indication of espionage in this matter a and that Indyk has Quot co operated fully Quot with investigators from the state department and Fri. A at this time there has been no indication that any intelligence information has been compromised Quot the official said. A this is a question of Security procedures that have not been Indyk 49, is barred from handling classified materials and must be escorted inside the state department building. State department officials told the Washington Post the investigation involves a Sloppy handling of information Quot Over Quot a longer period of time Quot before Indyk took his position in Israel. Indyk who became a . Citizen in 1993, has been ambassador to Israel from april 1995 to october 1997 and again since last year the Post said in its editions yesterday. The Post also reported a source outside the state department familiar with the investigation As saying it relates to Indykh a use of unclassified government owned Laptop computers to prepare memorandums about discussions with foreign leaders while in transit. Secretary of state Madeleine Albright approved the suspension state department spokesman Richard Boucher told the Post. A she holds ambassador Indyk in very High regard and values his contributions greatly Quot the spokesman said. But he said a she has been absolutely Clear on the need for everyone to follow Security in a statement Friday Indyk said a i regret that my trying to do the Best possible Job under very difficult conditions has led to the temporary suspension of my Security clearances while it is determined whether Correct Security procedures were Security officials at state decided to pull Indykh a clearance on sept. 12, although no action was taken until thursday. Members of the Senate foreign relations committee requested a briefing on Indyk on tuesday after an Anonymous phone caller told a committee aide the department was going to ignore Security concerns about Indyk the Post said. Indykh a suspension comes in the same week it was revealed that the defense department was investigating former Cia director John Deutch for alleged Security violations he committed while Deputy Secretary of defence. Those alleged breaches also included the Sloppy handling of secret data on personal computers and laptops. Deutch admitted to Security violations As Cia director after he retired he apologized and was stripped of his Security clearance. State department officials have been extremely sensitive to Security issues since the april disclosure that a Laptop computer containing top secret information about arms proliferation had vanished. The suspension makes it virtually impossible for Indyk to do his Job at a critical juncture in peace negotiations Between Israel and the palestinians. The australian born Indyk was named the senior Middle East specialist on the National Security Council in january 1993. In his first ambassador ship he was an important conduit Between the Clinton administration and the late israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. A associated press athletes / continued from Page a1 instead Caswell is trying to find a Spaghetti place or a cheaper hotel to stretch his training dollars. And the Winnipeg Ger is Only a typical example. Quot All the canadians do that a noted Nattrass who finished ninth in the trap event earlier this week. A a we Veall done the Economy trip improvising a taking sandwiches finding people to take us out to dinner. We just done to have the funding that other countries in fact the Federal government stopped directly funding the Canadian National skeet shooting program four years ago when the sport never made the top 42 that received direct funding for the quadrennial budget leading to these 2000 games. Lets be Clear Here neither Caswell nor Nattrass mentioned a word about funding until asked about the Issue by a reporter. To them the rules have been this Way so Long its almost routine. A you can to really perform with a Chip on your shoulder a said Caswell a Louisiana state University student. A it will follow you around. I really believe i can compete at the games. You have to know you can perform with the tools that you have. A you have to do with what you be got or go do something still there must be moments of frustration when a Canadian shooter looks up and sees a competitor like american James Graves who won Bronze in Caswell a event. Graves is a member of the . Army who trains full time with every cent covered. A a that Sall he Graves does a offered Marcel Dubois head coach of the Canadian National shooting team. A the does no to even March or anything. So when the crunch really comes around in Competition that a the remember in shooting events medal winners Are often near perfect. After shooting 73 of 75 targets the first Day Caswell was tied for ninth. But three costly misses on his final 50 shots plunged the Winnipeg Ger Down to 19th. One More hit out of 125 total shots and Caswell would have advanced to the final eight. A my score was very respectable a Caswell said. A i was just kind of hoping for better. But if i look at it As a whole in a not hey this Isnit some argument that Canadian taxpayers should Start pumping millions of dollars into skeet and trap shooting programs. But perhaps it might be Nice if the men and women who represent us at olympic events would be allocated enough Federal dollars so they be the laughing Stock of their world competitors with bran muffins stuffed in their pockets. Lord knows the Canadian shooters would have enough ammunition for such a debate. But the sad irony is they a probably have to pay for that too.
