the opc chief crawford in his report told the board our preliminary investigation into the matter reveals that all of the allegations contained in mr sheldrakes list of complaints are indeed of a very serious nature some of these allegations indicate in no uncertain terms that some specifically named members of the force have committed serious criminal acts and offences while other allegations suggest improper professional conduct chief crawford told the board it is clear to me that i will not be able to compile an accurate list of all complaints that mr sheldrake has made due to the fact that mr sheldrake is now informing our investigators that he did not make some of the complaints to the opc that are contained in their report sheldrakes complaints which originally totaled 17 have now risen to 19 he told the i board at a previous meeting he would have more complaints to submit options open with whichto make a he could-mskea- finding himself or he could refer the matter to the

other officers have been pulled into the in vestigation at this time by keith bolender although many might not suspect it one of the largest prehistoric archaeological excavation sites in canada is located right in stouffvules backyard the headquarters torjhe site is located in the glasgow school house and the actual site is approximately two miles southeast of the school whats happening on the site is the uncovering of a large huron indian village so far the dig has uncovered ap proximately 1000000 pieces of clay pottery bones pipes arrowheads trinkets and just about everything else one would find in a huron settlement the study is sponsored by the archaeological survey of canada and the national museum of man the whole thing started in 1970 when the site was being threatened by the proposed pickering airport this promp ted the archaeological survey of canada to organize the ex cavation before the land was destroyed in 1975 about 60 students combed through the site for six months the excavation stopped until the latest group which has been in since may 1978 began working this final excavation will be completed at the end of august bill fmlayson executive director of the museum of in dian archaeology at the university of western ontario one of the groups supervising and cataloguing the artifacts explainedjhat the 1978group will have processed 10 of the 13 acres of the site using both modern methods employing bulldozers and graders and the more traditional method in volving the tedious and time consuming shovel skim what the archaeologists have been able to piece together is that the land was settled between 1500 and 1530 ad about 200 years before the first white man came on the scene bill figures there were 45 longhouses indian residences 20 to 25 feet wide and 40 to 250 feet long the 45 houses could hold about 2500 people and the settlement was surrounded by a wooden stockade to protect themselves against unfriendly tribes bill noted at the site bill explained just how the long process of collecting the artifacts takes place vf we divide the site into plots of five square meters then subdivide that into one meter squares from that a thin layer of topsoil is taken off which sometimes uncovers a lot of information such as the black earth marks where the wooden poles were placed for the longhouses from the topsoil the students scrape and dig off the dirt and it is then shoveled into large wooden framed screens and from there bill went on the dirt is hosed down through the screens and the artifacts are collected each artifact is then numbered and catalogued an v incredible job that has taken an eight man crew at the university labs three years of work so far from the thousands of pieces of indian artifacts the site has given up a few out standing pieces weve found copper rings and beads that have to have come from europe this suggests that the hurons were trading with the white man much earlier than we thought it also gives us a good idea for the cause of tribal warfare over the trade routes another major discovery was the expansion of the set tlement which took an estimated 200 years bill noted that the first settlement of the huron tribes on this site held about 10 houses and 600 people through amalgamation with other set tlements the village grew to 45 houses probably the main reason for the amalgamation was for protection as fighting over the trade routes got fiercer the huron people looked in creasingly to joining together for stronger protection once the cataloguing and discriptions are complete an extensive series of reports presenting the findings will be written along with a display of the artifacts at the university museum clay effigy of a human face probably from an indian pipe bowl was one of the more interesting finds at the draper excavation site the site dates back to before white men ever set foot in the area in newmarket radio ckan gets approval oakville first baseman uh woman er
