PORT PERRY "WEEKEND STAR" FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2000 - 1 Police subdue assault suspect with pepper spray, lay charges A Port Perry man who allegedly threatened to kill a woman's dog with a hammer was arrested by police last week. David William Sanderson of Rosa St. in Port Perry has been charged in rela- tion to an incident on March 30 in which four officers: of 'the Durham Regional Police Service used pepper spray to subdue a man alleged to have assault- ed a woman. He appeared in court last week. Police were called to 259 Queen St. about 2:45 a.m. on March 30 after allega- tions that a woman had been threat- ened and another woman assaulted, while a dog had been chased with a hammer, court heard. According to court and police sources, when the suspect in the alleged assault refused to comply with police and a struggle developed, two more officers were called. The suspect continued to struggle, and was pepper sprayed and arrested. : Mr. Sanderson, who was free on unre- lated theft and fraud charges at the time of the alleged incident, was charged with threatening to kill an animal, assault, unlawful presence in a dwelling house, uttering threats to burn property, obstruction of police and assault on police to resist arrest. The allegations have yet to be proven in a court of law. Bail was set at $10,000 on the new charges. The accused will appear in an Oshawa court at a later date to speak to the allegations.

The theft occurred between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. on March 26, say police. o Police were also called twice to Smith Dr. in Uxbridge. Between 9 p.m. on March 25 and 9 a.m. on March 26, thieves stole a cell phone from one vehicle and a bicycle that was left in front of another house. oday... ¢ your Blue Prints Foul fowl topic of discussion for Scugog councillors The town of Whitby is fed up with the problems caused by Canada Geese fouling parks and recre- ation areas and wants the federal Wildlife Service to change the law to let municipalities do some- thing about it. Whitby town council recently passed a resolu- tion calling for changes that would allow Canada Geese to be culled from areas where they are a problem. And Whitby councillors want the federal govern- ment to cough up $60,000 to help pay for controlling the number of birds, not- ing that other control methods (oiling eggs, altering habitat) have failed and are costing local taxpayers money. Whitby's plight and the request for culling got support among Scugog council when' the resolu- tion was discussed at the meeting last Monday afternoon. Mayor Doug Moffatt said he does not under- stand why some geese in urban areas can't be shot, packaged and distributed as food through food banks. Scugog, like Whitby and other communities in southern Ontario, has a large population of Canada Geese that reside all summer in the public parks along the waterfront in Port Perry. Their présence has become more than just a nuisance to people using the park as there are fears the geese contribute to the high bacteria levels in the water which lead each summer to the closure of beaches by the Durham Health Unit. One method of (legal) goose control that appears to work involves the use of sheep dogs when the birds first arrive at an area just prior to the spring mating season. Apparently the sheep dogs will scare, the geese off, not. even letting them get their. feet on the |. 1999 GRAND AM SE | Gold, fully loaded, only kms. - | GM Rental Buyback. | $0.00 DOWN -~ $457 per mth. ~~] $1,000 DOWN - $435 per mth.
