| From the Mississauga News web-site (http://www.mississauga.com/article/full/fullview/1WJ0X-3M), if there are errors, please e-mail me with corrections: Opening comments - more at end. Dec. 26, 2001 - Mississauga News - By ? Judge wants Starrs in court Former City councillor Ron Starr and his daughter Deanna Michele could both be issued bench warrants next month if they fail to appear for their next court date. Justice of the Peace Leon Fayolle issued a bench warrant "with discretion" Wednesday after the two were again absent from Brampton court. This warns the Starrs that if they are absent for their next court date on January 28, the judge can issue a bench warrant, giving police the right to arrest them. The Starrs were jointly charged last October with the solicitation and improper use of funds from three different sources, including the Ontario Lottery Corporation, City of Mississauga-licensed bingos and Aga-Ming Optimist Youth Camp. Ron Starr, a prominent Mississauga businessman who was interim president of Hydro Mississauga Corporation until he "stepped aside" from the position more than a year ago, is charged separately with defrauding Human Resources Development Canada in relation to grants for summer Deanna Michele Starr faces a separate charge relating to City lottery licenses. It is not known when a trial date will be set. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, who laid most of the charges, are remaining tight-lipped until the matters are settled in court. "It's a long process, and it has to wind its way through the courts," said spokesperson Ab Campion. "It's in the court's hands now." [COMMENTS BY DON B. - |
