The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is still reviewing evidence and the 17-year-old youth wounded in the incident remains in critical condition. Meanwhile, Durham Regional Police officers involved in the incident remain off the job, according During a public meeting last week, Insp. Chuck Mercier of the North Durham Community Police office noted that the two Durham officers have yet to return "They're in very rough shape," he said Thursday. "You can imagine what it's like to be involved in a fatal shooting." According to spokesperson Gail Scala, the SIU strives to conclude its investigation within 30 days of incident. However, it doesn't appear this will be the case with the Sunderland shooting. "I can't project a closure date," she said during an interview Monday. "We do complete most (investiga- tions) within 30 days but sometimes individual inves- tigations demand more time." Also Monday, a spokesperson-at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre in Toronto confirmed that 17-year-old Rocco Romagnuolo was still listed in critical condition. Rocco was hit in the abdomen by a bullet discharged from a police pistol during the Dec. 28 confrontation at his Sunderland-area home.

Two York Regional Police officers and one Durham Regional Police officer have been des- ignated subject officers by the SIU. A second Durham officer has been designated a witness officer. Meanwhile, various media outlets are petitioning the province to overturn a publication ban imposed during a Jan. 31 bail hearing for 20-year-old Enzo Romagnuolo, Rocco's brother. He faces charges of assault causing bodily harm, assault with intent to resist arrest and uttering threats in connection with the incident. Ontario Court Judge Sherill Rogers imposed the ban part way through the bail hearing at the request of prosecutor Jeff Milligan.

Last year's campaign raised $4.8 million throughout Ontario, and this year the goal is $5 million. In Port Perry, 22 captains and 185 can- vassers will be working on the campaign through- out the month of February. But more canvassers are always needed. If you would like to help make a difference, please give any one of the four vol- unteer campaign chair- persons a call, Gwen Taylor (985-2150), Dorothy Gibson (985- 7178), Joyce Storry (985- 2220) and Judy Smith (985-8302). The Heart and Stoke campaign has been held in Port Perry for more than 25 years, and each year it has been a success. "It's also improved every year," said Gwen Taylor. This year the goal is to raise $25,000 here, a $5,000 increase over last year's aim. The local Person-to- Person campaign encom- passes Port Perry, Prince Albert, Greenbank, Seagrave, Manchester, Scugog Island, Robinglade Estates, Castle Harbor, Cawker's Creek and The Ridges.
