Feds: Body found in Greene County is missing W.Va. teen
WHEELING, W.Va. — A body found in southwestern Pennsylvania is that of a West Virginia girl who went missing last summer, federal officials said Wednesday
The remains found Jan. 16 in Wayne Township have been confirmed as those of 16-year-old Skylar Neese of Star City, said U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld, top prosecutor for West Virginia's northern district.
The FBI is doing tests on her remains, Ihlenfeld said, and an investigation into her death is under way.
An honors student at University High in Morgantown, Neese was last seen on surveillance video leaving her family's apartment July 6, and getting into a car. The Greene County location where she was found is less than 30 miles from there.
Last month, her parents celebrated her 17th birthday without her, holding a candlelight vigil with both friends and strangers. The crowd released heart-shaped paper lanterns, which floated into the sky.
Carol Michaud, Skylar's aunt, told The Dominion Post that the teenager was an environmentalist, and she would have preferred them to balloons.
Friends at the event described Neese as bubbly and kind.
"You never think this would happen to someone you know," Kelsey Konchesky said.
A legislator from the family's district also recently introduced a bill called Skylar's Law to ensure missing children's cases are handled with urgency. It would modify West Virginia's Amber Alert plan to issue public announcements when any child is reported missing and thought to be in danger, rather than just those believed to have been kidnapped.
Because Neese was seen getting into a vehicle, family members said authorities classified her as a runaway and no alert was issued. But they believe the girl intended to return, noting she didn't take money, contact lenses or other personal items.
Delegate Charlene Marshall, D-Monongalia, said she understands that a surge in alerts might make some people stop paying attention, but she believes it's still the right thing to do.
Last week, an emotional David Neese appealed to the House Judiciary Committee on his daughter's behalf before it amended and advanced the measure.
"Changing this law, God forbid, may be too late for Skylar," he said, fighting back sobs. "But please allow for this bill to be debated on the floor so other families may not have to go through this horrible ordeal."

From the Battlefield to the Boardroom
Leadership Development Strategies from Gettysburg Build Better Leaders
You have marched your army of men hundreds of miles through unfamiliar territory. You know the enemy is near, but without your scouting force, you have no idea where they really are. You're leading a group of men that are hungry and exhausted from marching. Some have been wounded and some are barely hanging on to life – and they're all looking to you for direction and leadership. Talk about a stressful situation.
Such was the scene close to 150 years ago when Confederate forces began marching their way through the heart of northern Maryland in bold invasions of the North that would culminate in the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Monocacy. These battles were a test of endurance and skill, but they were also poignant examples of the power of leadership.
For more than two decades, Steven B. Wiley and the staff of The Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg have brought scores of individuals from the majority of Fortune 100 companies, such as Apple, Pfizer, Kellogg, ExxonMobil, Chase and Wells Fargo, and scores of federal government agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security, Interior and Defense on a journey – a transformational journey – toward developing great leaders at all levels. And they do this by using Civil War history as a metaphor and the battlefield of Gettysburg as a classroom.
A proven entrepreneur, author, and highly acclaimed speaker who has influenced and entertained tens of thousands of top executives from around the world, Wiley is dedicated to the task of motivating and empowering leaders. His dedication has attracted the attention of major media outlets, including ABC NEWS,who called Wiley "the best speaker you've never heard of."
The term leadership has been bandied about in corporate circles for decades, but Wiley cites an alarming statistic from a recent Gallup poll. "Did you know that 70 percent of U.S. employees say that they are 'not engaged' or 'actively disengaged' at work with the number one reason being the quality of leadership?" Wiley asks.
Indeed, leadership is more than just occupying a title or moving into the corner office. It's a mindset, a vision for the future that defines leadership, and Wiley and The Lincoln Leadership Institute have dedicated time and attention to working with individuals to develop their full leadership potential.
As president and founder of The Lincoln Leadership Institute at Gettysburg, Wiley says that learning how to be more productive in a rapidly changing, stressful environment is the key to success, whether that's in your family, community, business, church or synagogue.
One of the signature elements of The Lincoln Leadership Institute's leadership development experience is a three-day interactive immersion experience – A Transformational Journey from Gettysburg. Participants join Wiley and a cadre of esteemed historians, scholars and leadership experts to examine leadership case studies, walk the Gettysburg battlefield as Licensed Battlefield Guides recount stories of leadership decisions that impacted the course of battle in July 1863, and discuss methods to develop one's leadership potential.
"We've found that these programs stay alive in the minds of participants and in the organizational culture. Through the unique and creative use of historical metaphor and an examination of the lives of historic characters, they become 'bookmarks' in the minds of participants," Wiley says.
Practical applications of these leadership development experiences cover various subjects such as negotiation skills training, communication, listening and wellness – skills that Wiley believes are critical to leadership success in one's home, family and workplace. And they are ones he and his team endeavor to cultivate in each interaction they have with participants of the institute's programs.
Here is just one example of a leadership lesson from Gettysburg. Forces under the command of Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, 20th Maine regiment, were pitted against the Confederate forces of the 15th Alabama Infantry on July 2, 1863. Despite overwhelming odds, Chamberlain protected the vulnerable Union left flank at Little Round Top.
Wiley uses this battlefield scenario to demonstrate the idea that effective leaders recognize challenges in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments — their vulnerable "left flanks." They swiftly move to meet those challenges head on with the human and material resources available to them. In crisis situations, effective leaders quickly move from thought into action.
The response to The Lincoln Leadership Institute's leadership development programs has been overwhelmingly positive. Here is what a former vice president for training and recruiting of Stanley Black & Decker had to say: "We have sent our representative to virtually every corporate retreat out there. Steve Wiley's Journey from Gettysburg is the best and most comprehensive performance training that we've ever invested in. We have already reaped benefits from this investment many times over."
The Battle of Gettysburg lasted only three days, but the impact of this monumental event in our nation's history has continued long after the guns have been silenced.
"When we bring individuals from the Department of Homeland Security or members from the Inspector Generals to Gettysburg and stand them at places where history's leaders had to face monumental decisions that shaped the course of battle, leadership development lessons take on new meaning," Wiley says. "History at Gettysburg provides an experiential learning opportunity that can transform the way we motivate, educate and develop our greatest assets—our people."

Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller Both Out Of The Cleveland Cavaliers Lineup
The Cleveland Cavaliers announced injuries to two key players on Wednesday, and both players were kept out of the game against the Golden State Warriors.
Forward/center Anderson Varejao was moved to the inactive list just prior to the Wednesday night road game due to soreness in his right knee, and forward/center Tyler Zeller was sent back to Cleveland during the day on Wednesday due to head injuries.
Varejao's injury is related to a right knee contusion he suffered in the first quarter of the Cavs' game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
Zeller, meanwhile, suffered a "non-displaced fracture of his left orbital bone" (which apparently means a broken cheek bone) and a concussion in the fourth quarter of the same game, according to information posted on the Cavs' website.
The team is not estimating how long either player will be out.
The loss of Varejao for even one game is huge. The big man from Brazil is averaging 14 points and 15 rebounds a game for the Cavs. In addition, he is playing his usual solid defense while also helping out on offense with his passing. He has carried the Cavs at times in the first four games of the season and has played at an All-Star level.
Varejao was hurt for the majority of the last two seasons, and Cavs management may just be being extra cautions with the 6'11 veteran. The Wine and Gold need Varejao to stay healthy this year if the team is going to have success.
Zeller's absence will also be noticeable, and not just because the rookie is seven feet tall and tips the scales at 250 lbs.
In four games this season, Zeller is averaging 10.5 points per game and 4.5 rebounds per game. He is third on the team in rebounding and is fifth in scoring.
The first round draft pick is not starting, but is playing 18.5 minutes per game.
And while it's only been four games so far, Zeller has looked like a solid player. He is passing and cutting as a part of the Cavs offense, and he is playing pretty good defense. He still has a lot to improve on obviously, but he's off to a good start, except for the whole broken cheek bone/concussion thing.
The absence of Zeller and Varejao will hurt the Cavs, but it will also give other players more playing time and the opportunity to respond. It will be interesting to see how Head Coach Byron Scott manages the minutes now, and who steps up in the post for the Cavs.

Van Hunt On World Cafe
Originally published on Thu August 23, 2012 4:27 pm
Van Hunt is something like a cross between Thelonious Monk and Prince: throaty and suave yet artistic, bold and a little weird. His inventive style speaks to his strong will, a trait that propelled the college dropout to move from his home in Ohio to the music hub of Atlanta. There, he signed with a major label in 2001 and produced his self-titled debut album three years later. Since then, he's formed his own label, Godless Hotspot.
Hunt's latest album is Live at the Troubadour 2011. The concert setting suits his style: His wry, forlorn, dirt-beneath-the-fingernails lyrics are better suited to an old concert hall than a state-of-the-art recording studio. An artist whose impact hits harder in the moment, Hunt performs songs from his live album in this session of World Cafe.

Britain should prosecute terrorist suspects, not play shady games of geopolitics
The initial reaction to the brutal killing of Lee Rigby, a 25-year-old off-duty British soldier, in Woolwich last week was to renew the debate over apparent "lone wolf" acts of terrorism. There are those who believe the attack was the latest in a series of terror acts that have a common denominator – the al-Qa'ida-linked group formerly known as al-Muhajiroun.
Founded by the Syrian cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed before being taken over by Anjem Choudary, it was banned in 2010. But it has been linked to one in five terrorists convicted in Britain over more than a decade.
It is little surprise that the Woolwich suspects have been on Whitehall's radar for years. Mr Choudary has already admitted knowing Michael "Mujahid" Adebolajo, as someone who "attended our meetings and my lectures".
Al-Muhajiroun has continued to function with impunity, most recently under the banner of Izhar Ud-Deen-il-Haq. According to a former US Army intelligence officer, John Loftus, three senior al-Muhajiroun figures – Mr Bakri Mohammed, Abu Hamza and Haroon Rashid Aswat – were recruited by MI6 in 1996 to influence Islamist activities in the Balkans.
In 2000, Mr Bakri Mohammed admitted training British Muslims to fight as jihadists abroad. That same year, he boasted: "The British government knows who we are. MI5 has interrogated us many times. I think now we have something called public immunity."
A year later, the private security firm set up by Mr Bakri Mohammed in cohorts with Abu Hamza – Sakina Security Services – was raided by police and eventually shut down. Speaking in Parliament at the time, Andrew Dismore MP claimed the firm sent Britons "overseas for jihad training with live arms and ammunition". Yet Mr Bakri Mohammed and Abu Hamza were not even arrested, let alone charged or prosecuted over this.
Proscription and extradition have failed. What we need is a willingness to prosecute. The failure to do so is influenced by narrow geopolitical interests resulting from Britain's subservience to US strategy in the Muslim world. According to the former MI6 officer Alastair Crooke, the Saudis, in pursuit of benefiting mutual US-Saudi interests, have played the role of proxy to the Americans, mobilising Islamist extremists to destabilise parts of the Middle East.
As David Cameron renews Britain's commitment to supporting the rebels in Syria, who include al-Qa'ida-affiliated Islamists, questions must be asked whether Britain's secret services have been compromised by short-sighted geopolitical interests.

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - An elite Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier was killed early Wednesday morning during a routine counter-terror operation near the Kissufim border crossing in southern Gaza.
Staff Sergeant Bisan Sayef, 21, from Jatt, a Druze village in the Galilee, died when Palestinian gunmen ambushed the Golani Brigades's elite Egoz unit with mortar and RPG shells during a search to uncover the terrorist infrastructure near the border.
Two wounded soldiers were transported to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba.
The IDF responded from the air, hitting two of the gunmen. Palestinian sources reported one Hamas gunman killed and four injured.
On Tuesday in northern Gaza, Givati Brigade infantrymen uncovered a 12-foot smuggling tunnel, dug from inside a Palestinian house, to within four-tenths of a mile from the Israeli community of Kfar Aza.
During the operation near the Arab town of Jabalya, one Palestinian gunman was killed and three injured -- all members of the Popular Resistance Committee's Salah al-Din Brigades.
Palestinians fired some 30 mortar shells at the troops, but no soldiers were injured.
Palestinian terrorists fired six Kassam rockets into Israel on Tuesday, three landing south of the coastal city of Ashkelon. There were no injuries or property damage.
IDF troops in the Southern Command are working to uncover dozens of newly dug tunnels, built solely to facilitate terror attacks on civilian and military targets inside Israel.
On Wednesday, Army Radio reported that two mortar shells fired from Gaza landed in open areas, injuring no one.
Also on Wednesday, Jerusalem police were placed on high alert after intelligence warnings of a terror attack. Traffic backed up as police spot-checked incoming cars and beefed up border police patrols on the city's perimeters.
Magen David Adom, the national emergency rescue service, was also put on red alert, the highest state of readiness in the event terrorists succeed in their mission.

Titanic: The Last Night of a Small Town
In his famous book A Night to Remember, historian Walter Lord described the sinking of the Titanic as 'the last night of a small town'. Now, a hundred years after her sinking, John Welshman reconstructs the fascinating individual histories of twelve of the inhabitants of this tragically short-lived floating town. They include members of the crew; passengers in First, Second, and Third Class; womenChurchill's Children: The Evacuee Experience in Wartime Britain
'We were dumped at a roundabout with our labels on. People pulled and tugged at the children they wanted. It was a bit like a cattle market... people just waded in. I went with a lady and her daughter - she was like a second Mum.' Alexander King, evacuated aged eleven Based on the stories of thirteen children and adults, Churchill's Children tells the often moving story of the evacuation ofConception, Catastrophe, and Legacy
This book focuses on sketching a clear portrait of the Titanic herself: from design to construction to the terrifying disaster in the North Atlantic. Even if she had experienced an uneventful passage to New York in April 1912, Titanic was an awe-inspiring creation of unequaled grandeur. That she met such an untimely demise makes her story that much more important to retell.The Truth About the Titanic: Illustrated Edition
"Very vivid..."THE NEW YORK TIMESAwakened by the shuddering of a huge iceberg puncturing the side of the ship, Colonel Archibald Gracie was quickly dressed and on deck to see the aftermath of what was to become the most famous collision in history. He had gone to bed early on the night of 14 April 1912, expecting to be up with the larks, and enjoying a session in the gym and a game of squashThe Forgotten Evacuees of the Second World War
In June 1940, 17,000 people fled Guernsey to England, including 5,000 school children with their teachers and 500 mothers as 'helpers'. The Channel Islands were occupied on 30 June - the only part of British territory that was occupied by Nazi forces during the Second World War. Most evacuees were transported to smoky industrial towns in Northern England - an environment so very different to theirThe Extraordinary Life of Sir Basil Clarke
From the Frontline is the first biography of Sir Basil Clarke, the First World War newspaper correspondent and father of the UK's public relations industry. Clarke defied a ban on reporters by living as a 'outlaw' in Dunkirk during late 1914 and by the time he was forced to leave was one of only two remaining journalists near the Front. Later in the War he reported from the Battle of the Somme andWomen and the Great Western Railway
The Great Western Railway struggled with what was called 'the women question' for many years. It had heartily agreed with The Railway Sheet and Official Gazette that 'the first aim of women's existence is marriage, that accomplished, the next is ordering her home'. Yet women were the cheapest form of labour, apart from young girls, presenting the company with a dilemma and the GWR finallyThe Sad Tale of Richard Parker

Excellent writer, keeps the plot constantly moving, can't put it down until done with the read.
Oct 30, 2009
I have read all of Cindy's books & they are all good. This one kept you guessing until the end. I'm looking forward to her next book in this series. They are individual stories so you don't have to read them in order. She does a terrific job telling the story as well as giving us good facts about the Amish way of life.
Jul 31, 2009
Cindy Woodsmall has the unique ability to quickly grab your attention, emotions, and curiosity to whisk you into a wondrous world of her making. This is not your typical Amish story. Her main character Cara is a hard working waitress, a single mom who addicted to cigarettes and always looking over her shoulder to flee from a violent stalker. Cara does her best to survive in New York and care for her young daughter Lori, who is her world. What I love about Cindy?s books is the fact that she talks about universal truths and lies some believe? things that we all struggle with from time to time?such as feeling abandoned, or a desperate need to be loved and be a part of a community so we can live our life to the fullest. Cara wants answers about her past so that she can figure out which path to take in the future. Cindy has an uncanny way of letting you feel like you?re a fly on the wall and sensing that nothings being altered because you?re hanging around! She allows you to capture every detail of the drama unfolding in her story, up-close and personal. Ada, an Amish woman, says to Cara (who can?t figure out why anyone would want to be Amish), ?We all submit to something. Athletes submit to the rules of their game. Lawyers and judges submit to the laws. The highest court in the land submits to the Constitution?.The Amish choose to submit to the Ordnung in order to be strong against desires that want no boundaries.? Cindy lifts the veil and allows you to peak into the Amish way of life. The Hope of Refuge is the beginning of an amazing tale, with believable characters you?d like to meet. I can?t wait to sit down to read Cindy?s next book, and find out where these special characters end up. The author leaves you with a satisfying ending and a desire to know what happens next. Thanks, Cindy for taking us on another exciting adventure in and out of the Amish community. Finding Hope Through Fiction www.psalm516.blogspot.com

Getting health checks done for 4 year olds in eastern Porirua is a challenge for Chris Rice and the Plunket team.
Earlier this month they were at Waitangirua Health Clinic, conducting the free checks, assessing children's teeth and gums, height and weight, hearing, vision and development.
It is the last Plunket health check before they go to school.
"It's comprehensive, can take 45 minutes to an hour so it's very thorough and very important for children."
Eastern Porirua is designated a "high need" area, as not enough families get their young ones checked, Ms Rice said.
"It's finding the children, that's the problem. We have a transient population . . . we rely on kindergartens and early childhood centres to keep in touch with us. ."
Seven-year-old Braden Willoughby was given a thorough check by Ms Rice and her colleagues on November 8.
His dad Dennis said he would "100 per cent recommend" parents get the B4 School Check done to ensure their child is healthy.
The B4 School Check team is based at the Waitangirua Health Centre twice a month and every second Tuesday in Cannons Creek.
Phone 238 2796 to make an appointment.

NC Officials Hold Wind Power Forums in Brunswick, Onslow
A federal task force is surveying locations for offshore wind farms along North Carolina's coast. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will be gathering feedback on the proposed sites next year.
WHQR's Michelle Bliss reports that state officials are holding public forums in Brunswick and Onslow counties Monday and Tuesday to discuss the possible sites, which include areas off the coast of Oak Island and Beaufort.
Jen Banks works for the North Carolina Solar Center which brings development to the state for renewable energy sources like solar and wind. She'll be speaking at this week's forums to highlight industry benefits.
"When you have a wind project and lock in the rate of that wind project, it's not affected by fuel price volatility, so you lock in that rate for the 20-25-year lifetime of the project. And for offshore wind, you have the benefit of stronger and steadier winds over the ocean, so you're able to generate more electricity from those wind turbines."
Along with those benefits, a major concern for other communities along the east coast has been the visual impact of having large turbines cluttering the skyline. Banks says that the federal task force charged with approving wind farm sites requires that lease blocks be a certain distance from the shore specifically for that reason.
"Right now, there are no lease blocks being considered that are less than seven miles from shore. And, actually, there's a study being conducted creating the visual assessment of what it would be like to see these turbines from shore."
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is working on those simulations.
Representatives from Governor Perdue's office, the state department of commerce, and the North Carolina Solar Center will be presenting at this week's forums, along with Progress and Duke Energy companies.
NOTE: Check out the newest map drawn by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's North Carolina Offshore Renewable Energy Task Force, which began its work in January. The task force is charged with coordinating efforts to facilitate commercial leasing for offshore wind on the Outer Continental Shelf offshore from North Carolina. This newest map shows nearly 500 lease blocks that the task force is considering.
Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? If so, we'd like to hear from you. Please email the WHQR News Team.

Haredi anti-Tal Law protest no-no-no 390. (photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
The haredi United Torah Judaism party garnered a historic seven-seat haul in Tuesday's election, but may nevertheless find itself outside the coalition in the next government.Speaking on Kol Yisrael Radio, senior UTJ MK Moshe Gafni said that his party had a "clear platform" and that if other coalition parties couldn't live with its principles, then they would not be part of the next government."The prime minister spoke with me last night, and we won't rule out sitting with any party as long as they can live with us and we can live with them," Gafni said.The issue of haredi enlistment in national service is likely to be a serious obstacle to a coalition including both Yesh Atid and UTJ, as the Ashkenazi haredi party is fiercely opposed to any meaningful reform to the broad exemption of full-time yeshiva students from military service.Gafni warned, however, that even if UTJ does not join the government, coalition parties would still struggle to impose their will to draft haredi men into the army."A government with a small majority such as is likely to be formed without us won't last very long. And even if we're not in the government, it still won't be possible to impose a solution coercively. Things have to be done in a reasonable manner, yeshiva students can't be dragged out of the study hall," Gafni argued.Despite months of internecine fighting and bitter divisions between various warring factions, UTJ succeeded improving on its 2009 showing of five Knesset mandates.The haredi political and rabbinic leadership had been extremely concerned with the possibility that the internal squabbling would cost the party votes, but a united front presented at the very end of the campaign seems to have averted such an outcome.Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach and his so-called "Jerusalem faction" had threatened to run against UTJ with their newly founded Netzach party.Although it became clear several weeks before the election that the new faction would not participate in elections, concerns still abounded that the dissatisfaction caused by the rift between Auerbach and the mainstream non-hassidic haredi leadership would lead voters to stay at home and damage UTJ's share of the vote.This scenario was also averted and UTJ eventually received Auerbach's backing, after guaranteeing the rabbi that the party would consult with him before agreeing to any changes to military service exemptions for yeshiva students.UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler reportedly visited Auerbach at his home in the capital on Wednesday to thank him for his support.Coupled with Auerbach's backing was the wave of declarations from the country's most senior haredi rabbis over the past two weeks, about the severe consequences to the ultra-Orthodox community if it did not maximize its electoral voice – a campaign which was seemingly effective in getting the haredim out to vote.Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, spiritual leader of the haredi world, issued a call on Tuesday to get voter turnout; Rabbi Haim Kanievsky, the second most senior figure, publicly declared that voting for UTJ was a Torah obligation and doing so would bring "spiritual and material" blessing; and various hassidic grand rabbis also called for a large turnout to avert what is widely described as the "harsh decrees of the secular public" against the haredi world.The concerns relate to proposed legislation seen as threatening to haredi interests, especially proposed legislation to rescind mass exemptions from military service which full-time yeshiva students were able to claim until last August.UTJ also ran a comprehensive Election Day field program in which the party MKs and candidates criss-crossed the country, visiting haredi strongholds in Elad, Modi'in Illit, Beit Shemesh, Kiryat Sanz in Netanya, and Bnei Brak, as well as Rehovot, Kiryat Malachi, Kiryat Gat, Rishon Lezion and beyond.One final boost for UTJ, as well as for Shas, was the endorsement of the Tov movement, a new political constellation professing to represent more moderate sectors of the haredi public who participate in national service and integrate into the workforce.The movement seeks to address the concerns of this constituency and claims to have the support of some 40,000 haredi voters.Although Tov decided not to contest the election, it drew up a list of demands that it requested UTJ and Shas address in the coming Knesset to ensure its endorsement of the haredi parties.The demands included, among others, action to prevent discrimination against Sephardi children in haredi schools; promoting haredi employment; and assistance for haredim seeking to enter higher education.Tov said that parts of its list had been accepted and incorporated into the platforms of UTJ and Shas, and the movement thus granted the traditional haredi parties its backing.

No comment from Peel police on racial profiling lawsuit
Peel police and the board that oversees the force are not commenting on a proposed $125 million class-action lawsuit that alleges systemic racial profiling.
Share via Email
Peel police and the board that oversees the force are not commenting on a proposed $125 million class-action lawsuit that alleges systemic racial profiling.
Peel Police Services Board chair Emil Kolb, who is also the chair of Peel Region, and the board's vice-chair, Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell, both declined to comment Tuesday because the matter is before the courts.
No one from the police force responded to the Star after repeated requests for comment on Monday and Tuesday.
The suit was filed in Superior Court Monday with five named plaintiffs, including two advocacy groups and three civilians, who allege a history of racial profiling carried out by Peel police.
The class-action lawsuit, which has to be approved by a judge before it can go forward, names the Peel Police Services Board and former chief Mike Metcalf, who retired last year.
A similar suit, seeking $65 million in damages was brought forward two weeks ago against the Toronto Police Services Board and Chief Bill Blair.
The lawyer representing the plaintiffs says racial profiling by the Peel force has become "entrenched".
"The problem is that if the decision makers are not reflective of the general population you will have a justice deficit," said Munyonzwe Hamalengwa.
He says the Peel police force, especially among its senior ranks, does not properly reflect the diversity of Peel region, where 60 per cent of residents belong to minority groups.
Peel police told the Star in late 2011 that, at that time, 14 per cent of the force's members, including the civilian staff, belonged to racial minorities. However, only five per cent of senior uniform officers were members of minority groups.
"Look at the composition of the force," said Kingsley Gilliam, a director of the Black Action Defense Committee, one of the two advocacy groups that brought the lawsuit forward. "That's the reality. There's a whole range of issues coming out of Peel."
The force has been dogged by allegations of racial profiling for years.
In 2011, facing mounting public pressure, a Peel police officer apologized after a 60-year-old man was investigated for a break-and-enter in Brampton, even though his only resemblance to the suspect was that he was black.
In 2007, after the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found a Peel officer guilty of racial profiling in dealing with a suspected shoplifter, then-chief Metcalf said he was "disappointed" with the finding and objected to the tribunal's recommendation that the force's officers needed better training to avoid racial profiling.
Metcalf has since retired, but Kolb and Fennell have remained on the police board, Kolb since 1990 and Fennell since 2005.
Gilliam says that the lawsuit is an attempt to bring attention to the issue in Peel, "but the residents there need to be very vocal in advocating for change."

What do you do when you're one of the world's most famous fashion companies and you run out of crocodile skin for your luxurious handbags and accessories? Well, in the case of Louis Vuitton, you just buy your own crocodile supplier! That's right, LV has invested in its very own crocodile farm (or "tannery") based out of Singapore. The tannery will supply crocodile skin to the fashion house to be turned into bags, wallets, belts and – like LV unveiled on the runway this week – crocodile jackets.
You may be surprised at this move but what's more surprising is that Louis Vuitton isn't the first luxury company to buy its own crocodile farm. Hermes did the same thing last year. Their thinking is that they'll be able to control the conditions to make sure the process is as humane as possible. Still, it's kind of sad that they're investing millions of dollars in a place where they kill crocodiles for their skin isn't? Or is this just part of the "circle of life" for animals coveted by the fashion world? Tweet us your thoughts @trendingtheshow.

Parents influenced by evolutionary tendency when naming children
Wednesday 05 June 2013
Parents' choice of baby names is influenced by an evolutionary tendency to make boys sound large and girls sound small, thus improving their chances of procreating, scientists have claimed.
Popular boys' names - like Thomas, Oliver and Jack - are far more likely to contain broad vowels that we associate with largeness, while common names for girls - like Emily, Olivia and Sophie - tend to be smaller-sounding by comparison, researchers said.
The study, carried out by psychologists and an anthropologist at Queen Mary, University of London, drew on previous research which found that people have a strong sense of "sound symbolism" - associating different vowel sounds with different sizes and shapes - because our brains are hardwired to associate low frequency noises with large, dominant or threatening people or animals, while high frequency sounds are connected with smaller vocalisers.
Parents might be unconsciously choosing names that, from an evolutionary perspective, would "boost their son or daughter's success in life by increasing the chance of passing on their genes", scientists said.
"In general, western societies tend to think of relatively taller men as more masculine and more successful with the opposite sex whereas shorter, slimmer women are perceived as having attractive feminine qualities," said Dr Benjamin Pitcher, from Queen Mary's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences. "It seems that over time the English language has developed a preference for names that reflect our society's attitudes of what we deem to be attractive qualities in different sexes."
Researchers examined the top 50 boys' and girls' names in England, the USA and Australia to test their hypothesis that popular boys' names would contain "large" vowels such as "o" as in "top" and "a" as in "back", while girls' names would contain "small" vowels such as "i" as in "bid" and "e" as in "set".
Of the top 50 boy's names, almost all displayed the large vowel characteristics, while almost all the top 50 most popular girl's names were made up of "small" vowel sounds.
In many mammals, including humans, larger individuals produce lower sounds. The report's authors said that the process of choosing larger sounding names for boys bore "similarities to the sexually selected breeding vocalisations of other mammals, where males advertise body size when calling".
The scientists said they would investigate whether the gender bias in vowel sounds is also seen in languages other than English, and whether societies where different attributes were considered desirable had different naming conventions. For instance, the authors said that in South African Zulu societies, larger women were generally considered more attractive, and that girl's names "symbolic of larger sizes may be favoured in such societies".
Co-author Dr Alan McElligott said that the study showed that the names historically given to boys and to girls were not arbitrary in origin. "Even though popular names change culturally, this explains why we perceive certain names as masculine and certain names as feminine. It is linked to an expression of body size." he said.

British rock legend Eric Burdon has canceled a scheduled August 1 appearance of Eric Burdon and The Animals in Israel after receiving threats, his management announced Tuesday."We've been receiving mounting pressure, including numerous threatening emails, daily.The last thing I intend do is put Eric in jeopardy," said a statement released by Burdon's management. Burdon, 71, and his reconstituted Animals were scheduled to appear at the Zappa Shoni Amphitheater on a bill with 1980s local favorites Tislam.Burdon and the Animals were one of the most influential bands of the 1960s, with hits like "House of the Rising Sun," "It's My Life" and "We Gotta Get Outta This Place."Last week Tislam's Izhar Ashdot and Yair Nitzani met with Burdon in Vienna ahead of the planned show, and Burdon revealed that he had received a number of online appeals to cancel his appearance.According to Ashdot and Nitzani, Burdon told them, "It's impossible to prevent music. Everyone needs music and there's no connection to current politics. Everyone has the right to be entertained."Tislam issued a statement expressing regret over the cancellation. "To appear with Eric Burdon, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll, was an almost dream come true. We're sorry that despite his personal assurance to us, that he bowed to pressure and cancelled his concert."The show will take place as scheduled, without Burdon.
