KITCHENER — A grieving grandmotherwatched Wednesday as a third suspect in theshooting death of Adam Jones appeared inKitchener court.
Tyrone Wint, 22,is charged withfirst-degree mur-der along withKadeem Gabriel,21, who also made abrief appearancefollowing his ar-rest last week.
The third sus-pect, Jerome Phil-lips, 20, is accusedof being an acces-sory after the factin connection withthe Sept. 6 shootingin Kitchener dur-ing a suspecteddrug deal gone bad.
Jones, 25, wasshot once in thehead in the parkinglot of the BelmontAvenue West apart-
ment building where he lived.A slight man with a neatly trimmed
beard, Wint was arrested without incidentTuesday at a Kitchener business.
Staff Sgt. Chris Downey, head of the Wa-terloo Regional Police homicide branch, saida team of 12 detectives had Wint on theirradar since early in the investigation of theslaying.

WATERLOO REGION —Private trash haulers are eat-ing up the region’s revenues inwhat one regional councillorsays could be the biggest prob-lem to sort out in the 2013 bud-get.
A report to Region of Water-loo councillors Tuesday saidindustrial, commercial andinstitutional garbage broughtto the landfill is already 29,000tonnes less than expected,causing a $2.1-million revenueshortfall.
That’s expected to reach40,000 tonnes and $2.9 millionin lost money by the end of theyear.
“Going forward, how are wegoing to deal with that?” saidCoun. Tom Galloway. “I thinkthat’s one of the key issues inour 2013 budget deliberations.”
Last year, tipping fee reve-nue was $1.75 million less thanexpected.
Private hauling companiesstrike up deals with industry,businesses and institutions todispose of their trash. They tietheir fees to the regional rates,offering to do the work for less.
Most of the region’s revenuefrom that sector pays for itsrecycling program.

WATERLOO — Scientists are one stepcloser to understanding the puzzling phe-nomenon of black holes in the universe.
Avery Broderick, associate faculty mem-ber at the Perimeter Institute and the Uni-versity of Waterloo, was part of a scientific
team that, for the first time, produced imag-ing of a distant black hole and the area sur-rounding it.
“These are some of the most energeticobjects in the universe, some of the mostpowerful objects in the universe. You couldeven say black holes are the engines of thecosmos,” Broderick said.
Black holes are areas of space wheredense matter crushes into a compact size,resulting in a mass that can be thousands tobillions of times greater than that of the sun.

The Event Horizon Telescope project resulted in the first empirical evidence connecting thespin of black holes and the jets they produce.

WATERLOO REGION — TheElementary Teachers’ Feder-ation of Ontario is advising itsmembers to write only theminimum comment required— a single sentence, for ex-
ample, as opposed to a para-graph — on upcoming prog-ress report cards.
In an advisory that was sentto union locals this week, thefour-page memo tells teachersto use their professional judg-ment when completing the
progress report but that asingle sentence indicatingstrengths and next steps forimprovement is appropriate.
The advisory also providessample comments that teach-ers can use: “The term ‘person-alized comments’ does not
mean that every student musthave a different comment. Ameaningful one sentencecomment may apply to severalstudents in one class.”

These massive, dense objects create agravitational pull so strong it prevents evenlight from escaping — appearing as blackholes.
Aside from the interest in black holesspurred on by science fiction novels, scien-tists like Broderick have many questionsabout the existence of these objects. Whythey occur and how they affect the growth ofthe galaxies they exist in are among thequestions scientists are trying to answer.
“We would like to know how the evolu-tion of the black holes themselves affectsthe evolutions of galaxies,” Broderick said.
To better understand black holes, scien-tists need to determine how they interactwith the matter around them, whether ornot they spin, the result of spin and whatcauses jets of light to be seen around thehole.
At 50 million light years in distance,Broderick and the team of scientists co-ordinated by Shep Doeleman at the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology Hay-stack Observatory aimed to make visiblesome detail of the activity around a blackhole in the M87 galaxy.
Their project — called the Event HorizonTelescope — resulted in the first empiricalevidence connecting the spin of black holesand the jets they produce. Until now, theconnection only existed in theory.
For Broderick, these revelations areimportant steps toward defining the phys-ics of black holes to answer the questions hehas about gravitational theory.
“My big goal is I would like to learnenough about accretion and jet formation toremove them and test general relativity,”Broderick said.
General relativity — Einstein’s theoryon gravitation — has passed wherever it’s
been tested. But black holes offer a com-pletely different environment where thetheory may need adjustments in order towork.
While the recent data of the black hole inthe M87 galaxy brings Broderick a stepcloser to understanding its physics, theimage is far from clear.
“You can imagine it’s sort of like taking apicture and then blacking out all but a hand-ful of pixels. With a handful of pixels it’spossible to tell the difference between yourfriend and your dog, but it might not be goodenough to tell whose dog it really was,”Broderick explained.
Using a technique called Very Long Base-line Interferometry, the image was devel-
oped through data collected from multipletelescopes located on different corners ofthe planet that together acted as an Earth-sized telescope.
This technology that produced the cur-rent imaging data wasn’t possible 30 yearsago, Broderick said, and it continues toimprove.
With the ongoing construction of a newobservatory in northern Chile that willeventually house more than 60 radio tele-scopes and highly sensitive interferometer,
the ability to develop a more detailed imageof the black hole is in the near future.
“With that on board, we’re going to un-cover many more of those pixels in thatpicture to the point that we will be able tosay, ‘aha it’s a golden retriever, his name isSparky,’ ” Broderick said.
“The goal ultimately is to have some-thing that does produce a picture, that doestake a snapshot.”
