"I have had calls to my office by peop'e who have raged at immigrants and at the system," Mr. Shepherd said. "This is the worst of our nature wanting to strike out and focusing on visible minorities." Mr. Shepherd said he is calling for calm while Canada decides what form its support for the United States will take. "I think that sometimes we look for simplistic solu- tions to complex prob- lems," Mr. Shepherd said. "It is too simplistic to say that these particular peo- ple are the problem when it is a small number of their countrymen who may lie at the bottom of things." Last week's tragedy also hit home for the local police force. Last Wednesday, as newly-minted Police Constable David O'Connell worked North Durham's 26 Division, children came into the station bearing small gifts, including cards the children had made for "our friends the police." The cards were of con- dolence to the firefighters and police of New York City for their loss. The children had heard of the hundreds of public safety workers killed when the twin trade towers collapsed after two terrorist-piloted planes crashed into them last Tuesday morning. A huge floral arrange- ment from a local family sat atop the station counter offering condolences "for your fallen comrades."

"It drove home the point to me that | am a part of a brotherhood." North Durham Inspector Bill Temple told The Star he wanted his thanks to go out to the people of North Durham. "I am personally very touched at the cards and the calls and the flowers," Insp. Temple said. "We, all of us at 26 Division, want to thank the public on behalf of all the emergency work- ers, the fire, ambulance and police officers not only in New York, but who go out each day and put their lives on the line for the better- ment of us all." The Durham Regional Folice Association reacted quickly to the loss of so many police officers in New York City. "We have already sent a telegram of condolence to Patrick Lynch, the head of the New York City Patrolmens' Benevolent Association, offering our heartfelt sympathy and any help we can give to officers or the widows and orphans of those brave officers we have lost," said Terry Ryan, President of the DRPA. "We as an association want to call on the govern- ment to tighten the rules and security measures that allow persons of this type (terrorists) to use this, or any country, as a staging ground for these types of actions." Now, a week after the attacks across the U.S. nation, both Canadians and Americans are looking for some form of normalcy to return to their lives, includ- ing travel arrangements. Local travel offices are warning the public to stay CHEVROLET OLDSMOBILE CADILLAC 12800+263-2000 Flags fly at half-mast across Scugog Township. in close touch with their travel agents if they are preparing to fly out of Toronto's Pearson International Airport over the next few days. Virginia Frew-Clarke of Thomas Cook Travel in Port Perry said her office had managed to get all their out-of-town travelers home safely and are working to get travellers to their desti- nations. "Our best advice to trav- ellers is to stay in constant touch with their agent about departure times, bring photo ID to the air- port and expect long waits," Ms. Frew-Clarke said. Shirley Boddington of Marigold Travel said that checkpoints at the airports will be time-consuming and tells travelers to watch what they take in carry-on lug- gage. "We have heard that anyone travelling with chil- For oid Decals & Great YJ T-CA Come see 852-3331 dren to the U.S. should have a notarized photo of the child to show proof of identity and remove any item from hand luggage that could be remotely used as a weapon," Ms. Boddington said. "Combs with points, pens and pen- cils, or any other item. Just don't take them with you." Ms. Frew-Clarke said that she is advising clients to apply for passports if they do not already pos- sess one. "The number of applica- tions has sky-rocketed in the past week," Ms. Frew- Clarke said. "I think we will see that passports will become mandatory soon for any travel." Ms. Boddington agreed. "For a five-day wait and $60, a passport is certainly the most valuable identifi- cation you can have," she said. Both agents said trav- el conditions are changing hour-to-hour. a ad ------ ~ N A 28 piece pizza with 1 item ] 51 1 1b. wings & garlic bread s2499 " O_o a TEER xx AMANO I IAS ANA AAR ARIA RAI AR ATT TIT 20 2 20 000A BR Ae A 2 0 2 a 4.
