Last week Mississaugas of Scugog Island Chief Gary Edgar sent to local newspapers a copy of a letter to Durham MP Alex Shepherd in which he says the survey, addressed to residents here, contained inaccuracies and slanted questions. He vows to send letters and a copy of the survey to Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Indian Affairs Minister Ron Irwin. "I believe that the Prime Minister would not view your actions as properly reflecting the conduct of a member of par- *liament representing the Liberal party or properly reflect- ing the aboriginal policy of the new federal government," wrote Chief Edgar. He said he would ask the Prime Minister to confirm Mr. Shepherd's survey does not reflect the aboriginal policy of the federal government, and to instruct the MP to apologize to the band "for distributing such an ill-conceived package". The Chief says that: 0 the survey is misleading in its description of Ontario's gaming regulations; a the package is "derogatory towards native people" as it provides space only for con- cerns, not support; a the survey is inaccurate when it says little consultation on the project has taken place, and 0 that it. is "defamatory"; the survey describes the projects as a "gambling" facility, says the Chief, when it is actually a charitable gaming hall that Turnto Page 11 The Candidates...

"There are people here who will never overcome their inju- ries and here I am going to be 100 per cent. I am very lucky, the local real estate agent told the Star. Ms. Taylor, who was one of five people shot in Port Perry last week during a bank robbery at the Bank of Montreal, was to arrive home from hospital Sat- urday. "In two to three months I won't know that it happened. I am coming along really, really good," she said of her injuries. Ms. Taylor, who was struck by bullet fragments while she sat typing at her office across from the Port Perry Plaza, did not require any surgery for her injuries. She has fragments in her arm, which form a half moon - shape, as well as a broken bone in her arm, fragments in her chest, the middle of her back and one small piece in her lung. There are no plans to have any of the fragments removed. "My lung has come back to al- most normal," she said. Ms. Taylor said she has had many visitors from the police force and each has told her sto- ries of people who have been shot. Prior to being shot, Ms. Tay- lor said she heard weird noises outside, but not in a million years would she associate the noise with bullets. When she was struck by the fragments, however, "I knew in aminute that I had been shot." While awaiting medical at- tention, Ms. Taylor said she did panick alittle ,but only because "it seemed to be taking so long" for the ambulance to come.
