Body found downtown
By Amy LAZAR, Thursday, October 13, 2005
Yellow tape secured a downtown corner for more than 14 hours yesterday after a 38-year-old Stratford man was found dead on the concrete outside the OLCO gas bar.
A cab driver from A&A Taxi noticed a man lying unconscious at the gas station around 3 a.m., said Henry MacDONALD, a night dispatcher for the company.
MacDONALD phoned the Ontario Provincial Police.
Police arrived on the scene and found a man with no vital signs. Police said the man was transported to Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Calling the death suspicious, police released few details about the incident.
The Packet has learned the dead man is Liam BROADMORE, 38, of Stratford.
BROADMORE was heading home after spending Thanksgiving weekend at a family cottage near head Lake, about 30 kilometres east of Washago, a source told The Packet.
Yesterday, police roped off the corner of Peter and Colborne streets before dawn.
Around 9 a.m., the yellow police tape that ran across Peter Street at Mississaga Street was moved closer to the Colborne Street intersection.
A few businesses on Peter Street remained closed for the day. The RBC Financial Group was open but the drive-thru was blocked off.
The OLCO gas station has been closed for business since Tuesday at 10 p.m.
“It's a tragedy for everyone in town,” said the owner of the gas bar, Arfan AHMAD, from his home yesterday.
He found out about the investigation from his employee, who showed up to open the station at 6 a.m.
“I was shocked to hear that she couldn't open the store,” said AHMAD.
After receiving that phone call, he went to see for himself.
A black Ford Explorer with purple and white markings on the side, believed to be the victim's vehicle, was parked on the gas bar property.
Police marked a pool of blood and a red and black jacket, which were on the ground, close to the car's front bumper, as evidence.
There were 17 evidence markers at the blocked-off corner.
Eight Ontario Provincial Police officers surrounded the perimeter, reminding people to stay back from the scene and redirecting traffic.

Number of killings not seen in century
By Jonathan SHER, Free Press Reporter
Less than 24 hours after what may be the worst mass-slaying in the city's history, another Londoner has been killed, the carnage the region's worst in more than a century.
"I don't think there's been anything like this since the Donnellys, and that was in Lucan," said John LISOWSKI, a former police board member whose research of crime in London is being used for a book that chronicles the past 150 years for the city police force.
Halina CZUBA, her children Julia and Michal, and a gunman who was a family relative were found dead in the CZUBA home Monday.
Yesterday, Yorn MEY was found dead, slain in her Chippewa Drive home. Her husband has been charged with second-degree murder.
The bloody barrage appears unprecedented in the city, historian Dan BROCK said.
"Nothing else comes to mind at all. A family wiped out -- nothing of that magnitude."
The killings at the CZUBA home on Princess Avenue were also unusual in another sense, said Paul WHITEHEAD, a criminologist at the University of Western Ontario.
"The most typical situation is the husband kills his spouse and children and then himself," WHITEHEAD said.

Racheal WOODMAN, four, of Stayner lost her battle with glioblastoma early Thursday morning.
Family friend Helen WATERS told The Sun that Racheal died at her Stayner home shortly after 6 a.m. with her parents at her side.
Racheal was the daughter of Suzanne TWIGGER and Ivan WOODMAN.
The little girl was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a brain tumour, on October 13, 2003.
Since her diagnosis Racheal had been in and out of the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, where she received treatment, including chemotherapy.
Doctors say that 50 per cent or less of the children diagnosed with glioblastoma survive.
During her struggle, Racheal became well-known in the community. People rallied around the red-head and her family, donating money to help cover expenses.
Among the organizations to step up to the plate was the Royal Canadian Legion, and numerous individuals.
Also mourning Racheal's death are her grandparents Wayne and Joanne TWIGGER. Bonnie▼ and Barry FIEBIG, Jim and Iona ANDERSON, Teddie and Marie WOODMAN and great-grandparents Wesley and Reta BASSO, Beryl▼ BROCK and Doris FIEBIG.
A funeral for Racheal was at at First Presbyterian Church in Collingwood on Saturday.
The family said that donations can be made to the Brain Tumour Foundation for Paediatric Research, 301-620 Colborne. Street, London, Ontario, N6B 3R9 or the Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M5G 1X8.

Phyllis GRETZKY, Hockey Mom (1941-2005)
As the mother of a superstar, she deserved full credit as the one who did all the driving, tended the skates and got everyone to the rink on time, writes Sandra MARTIN. 'She's always been the toughest in the family'
By Sandra MARTIN, With files from Canadian Press, Wednesday, December 21, 2005, Page S7
Ashy, private woman, Phyllis GRETZKY preferred to let her husband, Walter, share in the limelight that surrounded their son, hockey legend Wayne GRETZKY. Both parents drove their kids to hockey practice, watched them play and encouraged them, but Mrs. GRETZKY preferred to live quietly in the home that she and her husband bought more than 40 years ago in Brantford, Ontario
"The truth is, Phyllis deserves just as much credit as me," Walter GRETZKY said about his wife in the early 1980s. "Hockey has been a full-time job for her since Wayne was 5. She was the one who's done all the driving, picked up sticks, got skates sharpened, juggled schedules and everything else while I went to work every day."
She consented to chat with a journalist in a Brantford arena in 1982. She was wearing blue jeans and a parka, smoking a cigarette and holding a cup of coffee to keep warm. "I think we are just a normal family.... We haven't really changed," she said, referring to her eldest son's career in the National Hockey League. "It's nice that he made it after all the talk that he was too small, too slow, and everything else. He's really shown people he can do it."
Her son respected her in return. "Throughout my career, she was in the background but she was the glue," he said when Mrs. GRETZKY was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. "She's always been the toughest in the family."
Both Mrs. GRETZKY and her husband were heavy smokers. He has attributed the nearly fatal stroke he suffered in 1991 at least partially to his addiction to nicotine.
All her children came home on the weekend after Mrs. GRETZKY's condition worsened. She was admitted to hospital last Thursday suffering from pneumonia.
"This has definitely been hard on everybody," her son Glen GRETZKY told the Brantford Expositor after his mother died on Monday night. "It's been a long 10 months and this is a very sad day."
Phyllis HAWKIN was born and raised in Paris, Ontario, but her parents, whose heritage was British, came from Queenston Heights and can claim Sir Isaac BROCK, a hero of the war of 1812, as an ancestor. A popular, attractive and strong-willed girl who loved to party and was known to sneak out of her parents' house after they had gone to bed, she met Walter GRETZKY at a wiener roast at his family farm near Brantford when she was 15 and he was 18. She was with another boy, but "I didn't let that stop me," Mr. GRETZKY wrote in his autobiography, Walter GRETZKY: On Family, Hockey and Healing.
They dated at the Calico Kitchen, a drive-in where you ordered food -- including foot-long hot dogs -- through a speaker, then ate it in the car. Phyllis, who was a good athlete and loved playing softball, watched Walter play hockey for the Woodstock Warriors Junior B team.
They married in 1960 in the Anglican church in Paris, and moved into a rented apartment in Brantford and then into a house with a large flat backyard, specially chosen for its potential as a homemade hockey rink. Mrs. GRETZKY's future as a hockey mom was set when Wayne, the first of her five children, was born on January 26, 1961. He was less than a year old when Mrs. GRETZKY's other great asset -- her stoicism -- came into play.
Walter was working as a lineman for Bell Telephone when a cable snapped, broke his safety helmet, fractured his skull and left him in a coma. Mrs. GRETZKY was told to expect the worst, but he survived. He was off work for 18 months, and remains deaf in his right ear.
By the time Wayne was 2, he was skating on the backyard rink that his father would flood in the middle of the night when the temperature plummeted. At 6, he scored his first goal. According to Walter, she worried about her son skating, practising his moves and shooting a puck around long after dark. What would the neighbours think of a family who would let a 6-year-old skate until 10 at night? The neighbours soon had more than bedtime to think about as Wayne became first a local and then a national sensation, scoring 27 goals at 7, 196 goals at 9 and 378 at 10.
By then, Mrs. GRETZKY was busy with her daughter Kim, who was born in 1963, son Keith (1967) and son Glen (1969), and was pregnant with her youngest son, Brent. If she was a hockey mom, her husband was the ultimate hockey dad. He acknowledged that he once vetoed new curtains for the living room in favour of hockey skates for the boys.
And when she was about to give birth to their youngest child, Walter left her alone while he went to watch Wayne skate in a minor hockey championship, thinking his wife and nature would wait until he got back. Instead, he arrived home to find that his wife was in hospital. According to Mrs. GRETZKY, he walked into her room in the maternity ward and said, "We won, we won!" To which she replied, "It's a boy, Walter."
Life wasn't all hockey rinks and trophies. Glen was born with two club feet and, while both parents worried, it was usually Mrs. GRETZKY who made the many trips to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Kids for the surgery and other treatments.
Wayne left home at 14 to play hockey, but the family remained extremely close. For their 25th wedding anniversary in 1985, Wayne bought his parents a blue Cadillac. He'd tried on several occasions to buy them a new home, but they refused. They were proud of their son, but they didn't want to trade on his celebrity status. They did eventually put an addition on the house with their son's help, and they allowed their daughter-in-law Janet to give them a pool in the same backyard that Walter had flooded every year to make a hockey rink.
After Walter's father died in 1988, Phyllis invited her husband's sister, Ellen, who suffered from Down syndrome, to live with them. "I was so relieved," Walter said later, "when Phyllis agreed to take her in to live with us, and grateful -- it's a lot of hard work to deal with Ellen... you have to be committed to do it day after day, year after year."
A quiet, unassuming woman, Mrs. GRETZKY "looked after the house and the kids," as she once said. "Wally went to work and looked after the finances. I never had to write a cheque until after his stroke."
That stroke, a brain aneurism that burst on October 13, 1991, the day before her 50th birthday, changed their lives drastically. "My mum was really the pillar of strength who pulled everyone through," Wayne GRETZKY said about the years of therapy and rehabilitation.
Phyllis GRETZKY was born in Paris, Ontario, on October 14, 1941. She died in hospital in Brantford, Ontario, on Monday of lung cancer complicated by pneumonia.
She was 64. She is survived by her husband, Walter, five children and 12 grandchildren. The funeral will take place on Thursday morning at 10: 30 at Grace Anglican Church in Brantford.
