Police treating death of boy as 'suspicious'
By Jered STUFFCO
With a report from Oliver
MOORE, Saturday,
October
29, 2005, Page A22
Screams echoed through a quiet east-end neighbourhood early yesterday
after the body of a 12-year-old boy was discovered in the basement
of his family home.
An autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death. Although homicide
officers were leading the investigation last night, the death
is being treated officially as "suspicious."
Family
Friends identified the boy as Jaimie
CHAVEZ, a Grade 7
pupil at St. Joseph Elementary School.
While neighbours close to the family said Jaimie was found inside
a large bin with foam on his mouth, coroner Trevor
GILLMORE would
not speculate on what killed the boy.
When asked why the death was being treated as suspicious, Dr.
GILLMORE said, "Any death of this nature, involving a young person,
we will treat it as a suspicious death."
Around 1: 40 a.m. yesterday, police at 55 Division received a
call about a missing boy, police spokeswoman Isabelle
COTTON
said.
Less than two hours later, officers found Jaimie's body in the
basement of the Coady Avenue house he lived in with his mother,
Karen, and three siblings: Veronica, 14, Vanessa, 16, and Abel,
who neighbours said turned 18 yesterday.
"We were wakened by screams and shouts," said Mark
HENRY, who
lives across the street and saw the boy's family gathering outside
his window. "It was terrible. They were out in the street, screaming
and crying. It was like nothing else I've ever heard."
Neighbour Louise
COLE said she received a frantic phone call
from the boy's mother late Thursday. "She says, 'Louise, have
you seen Jaimie?' "
Later that night, Ms.
COLE told Abel
CHAVEZ to check his family's
back shed and see whether the boy was hiding inside.
The shed was locked, and when Abel
CHAVEZ went to his basement
to get a screwdriver so he could crack open the latch on the
shed's door, he made the grisly discovery, Ms.
COLE said.
That's when Abel spotted the bin.
"He gave it a kick, opened the bin, and there was his brother."
Then, Ms. COLE heard what she described as an "ungodly scream."
"He was a sweet little boy with dark hair," she said, speaking
to reporters on her front porch near Queen Street East and Carlaw
Avenue yesterday.
Neighbours said the family had been living on the street for
about five years.
Ms. COLE said that the boy's father, who drives a souped-up white
Cadillac, runs a mechanic's shop on Sinnott Road in Scarborough
and does not live with the rest of the family.
Yesterday afternoon, teachers and students from Jaimie's school
gathered at St. Joseph's Church to mourn his death at a one-hour
ceremony.
Father Frank
WAGNER led the service and said, "It was a real
shock. We're trying to help the students and staff cope with
this loss."

Body of boy, 12, found in basement
Family engulfed in pre-dawn horror
By Scott SIMMIE and Dale Anne
FREED, Staff Reporters, Page A1
It was shortly before 3 a.m. yesterday when residents at the
north end of Coady Ave. in Leslieville awoke to a horrifying
sound: Guttural, almost feral, screams of shock and grief.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommeeee," wailed a distraught girl in her teens,
lying collapsed on the sidewalk. "No, Mommy, nooo!" she cried,
lit both by the streetlight and the flashing red from the first
police cruiser on the scene.
Inside 96 Coady Ave., the body of a 12-year-old boy had just
been discovered in the basement, the body of her brother, Jamie
CHAVEZ.
The cause of his death has not yet been determined. An autopsy
yesterday was inconclusive.
"Information collected at this point has not given us a conclusive
cause of death," coroner Dr. Trevor
GILLMORE said last night.
"Further testing and investigation will be required."
Homicide detectives were monitoring the case pending definitive
autopsy results, police spokesperson George
CHRISTOPOULOS said
last night.
Neighbour Louise
COLE, who lives several houses down the block,
said she heard the dead boy's older brother, Abel, 18, yell to
his mother, Karen
CHAVEZ, from the basement of 96 Coady: "Mom,
I found him."
COLE said Abel told her he noticed a "bin" in the basement. "He
gave it a kick and opened the lid and there was his brother."
The mother called police as soon as Abel found the body,
COLE
said. It was the second time she called police in the early-morning
hours, COLE said.
CHAVEZ had called police about 1: 30 a.m. when
she found Jamie missing after she got home from work,
COLE said.
Police searched the house but found no trace of the boy, the
neighbour said.
CHAVEZ had phoned
COLE before she called police the first time,
hoping he might be at her home, where he often visited. But she
hadn't seen him.
When police left after finding nothing on the first call,
COLE
said, she told Abel to "go look in the (backyard) shed."
The shed was locked, and Abel went to the basement to find a
screwdriver to break the lock. That's when he found his brother.
In addition to Abel, Jamie's sisters, Vanessa, 16, and Veronica,
14, two teenage cousins and an 18-year-old friend of Abel who
has been living in the house for six months were also in the
house Thursday night.
Another friend of Abel said he knew Jamie made it home from school.
"I saw him at about 7 p.m. He was washing dishes in the kitchen,"
said the friend, Jermaine, who wouldn't give his last name. "He
was by himself. They were in the living room. It was all cool.
"I left at about 7: 30 p.m. They were just eating chocolate cake."
CHAVEZ had separated from her husband, Alex, about two months
ago and was working nights at a packaging and labelling factory
to support her family, said
COLE's husband, Ronald.
A mass for Jamie, a Grade 7 student at St. Joseph's Catholic
school, was held yesterday at the neighbouring Catholic church.
His classmates presented poems and memories, principal Anthony
TACOMA said after the mass as grieving students walked by, some
holding a remembrance poster about Jamie, one holding a candle.
Grief counsellors, a social worker and a school psychologist
were called in to help students and staff deal with the death,
he said.
"He was a very well-liked boy (and) a hard-working student,"
said TACOMA, who had tossed a football with Jamie and his Friends
the day before he died.
It was a long and difficult day on Coady Ave. yesterday.
The screams of the sister who had collapsed on the sidewalk became
part of a disturbing chorus as at least two teenage boys and
the mother, in utter panic, ran shrieking up and down the sidewalk.
Helter-skelter they ran, bolting frantically back and forth in
any direction except toward the house from which they'd come.
Within minutes, five police cars and two ambulances had arrived,
along with a paramedic supervisor vehicle.
"My baby, my baby," screamed the mother with such anguish that
one neighbour who heard her said she got goosebumps.
Officers quickly began cordoning off the area with yellow police
tape, asking a freelance television cameraman who was videotaping
on a porch across from the home to move to the far end of the
one-way street.
One of the teen boys who'd been running finally stopped, exhausted
and numb, and buried his head against an officer's shoulder.
The policeman wrapped his arm around the boy, gently patting
his back.
Another teen emerged from the neighbouring half of the semi-detached
home.
"How are you doing tonight?" asked another officer, placing a
hand on the boy's shoulder.
As night began to fall, police took out more yellow tape and
began marking off the front yard of the home.
Asked if it was now a crime scene, an officer replied: "It always
was."
Across the street, three teenage girls stood silently holding
a photocopy of what appeared to be a school photo of Jamie.
"When I first heard the news I started bursting out crying,"
said Shaneika
BECKFORD, 15. "It's really sad. I don't know why
it had to happen.
"I need to know why he died. I just saw him yesterday."

Boy's home drew noise complaints
East-end home where body was found drew noise complaints
By Debra BLACK, Staff Reporter With files from Dale Anne
FREED
Neighbours of 12-year-old Jamie
CHAVEZ, whose body was discovered
in the basement by his brother, had lodged a number of complaints
with the city's housing agency about noise, rowdiness and lack
of adult supervision at his east-end home.
Complaints had been made to Cityhome, Toronto's non-profit housing
agency, in May and June, said a complainant who asked not to
be identified.
"I called many times," he said, adding three households complained.
They were told nothing could be done. "We were concerned about
the noise, the carrying on, kids not going to school, the lack
of respect for the standards of the neighbourhood, those standards
simply being quiet.
"Nobody gets upset with kids playing, but basketball in the street
at midnight is ridiculous. And a gang of 10 kids on the porch
being loud. If my door is shut and my television is on and I
can still hear them across the street, it's too loud."
And now, he said with a quaver in his voice, one of the street's
children is dead. It's too awful to contemplate, he said. "It's
one of our kids. One of our children on our street. Dead."
Jamie CHAVEZ was found dead early Friday morning in a bin or
barrel in the basement of his family's Coady Ave. home. Cause
of death has not yet been determined. An autopsy was inconclusive.
"We're still in the process of pursuing further testing," said
coroner Dr. Trevor
GILLMORE.
Neighbour Louise
COLE said Jamie had been reported missing to
police at about 1: 30 a.m. by his mother Karen
CHAVEZ after she
found him missing when she got home from work.
CHAVEZ had first
called COLE and asked if Jamie was there.
COLE said he wasn't.
When police arrived the first time they searched the house and
found no sign of the boy.
After they left,
COLE told Jamie's brother, Abel, 18, to check
the shed in the backyard. He went to the basement for a screwdriver
to break the lock on the shed and found his brother's body,
COLE
said.
CHAVEZ then called the police again, she said.
Yesterday, the family home appeared virtually abandoned except
for a couple of bicycles locked to the porch railing and a pumpkin
propped on a white plastic chair.
Neighbours say
CHAVEZ lived there with her eldest son Abel, Jamie,
two sisters -- Vanessa, 16, and Veronica, 14 -- and two teenage
cousins. An 18-year-old friend of Abel's had also been living
there for six months.
CHAVEZ had recently separated from her
husband, Alex, and was working nights at a packaging and labelling
factory, said
COLE's husband, Ronald.
But not everyone on the street had complaints about the family
or noise. Other neighbours described the family as "nice" and
weren't concerned about the loud music or late-night gatherings
on the front porch.
"The kids were not bad," said Helen
CULLEN, a pensioner who lives
down the street. Often she would see the children playing road
hockey, she said.
"They're just like other kids... they were a bunch of teenagers.
What do you expect? (Jamie) was polite. He was not a bad kid.
He never sassed you or anything. The mother did a good job with
them."
Elise PARENT, who also lives nearby, didn't know the family well,
but said she wasn't bothered by the teens hanging out.
"You could see a family, a single mother and a lot of kids, not
flowing in money," said
PARENT. "It was a hangout for kids in
the neighbourhood. They would hang out until 1 in the morning.
They were good people. They never made any trouble."
Throughout the day, police officers came and went from the house,
continuing their probe.
Flowers and cards of condolences were placed lovingly behind
the police tape at the foot of the lawn.
One card read: "Sorry for your loss. But he will still live on
in our hearts. From Matthew, Daniel and Sarah."
A mother and son brought red roses and a cross with the Lord's
Prayer written on it.
They placed it on the lawn and then stopped to look at the other
bouquets, cards and candles. The boy had attended school with
Jamie -- they were in some classes together, his mother said.
Later, a former employer of Jamie's father, Alex, came by to
pay his respects.
He placed a bouquet of flowers on the lawn and shook his head
in dismay.
"I didn't know the kids or the family," said Cam
YOUNG, adding
Alex worked for him as a mechanic for a number of years. They
haven't been in touch recently, but he felt moved to do something.
"Alex is a nice, nice man. Very soft-spoken.... I just read about
it in the paper. It's a tragedy."

Special thanks go to Deborah
HAMILTON who for so long has been a reliable and constant presence
in his life. Also thanks to the "Merry Wives of Allison Road"
who brought much fun and caring to his final years.
Born in Stogumber, Somerset, on September 4, 1906, he was raised
as a "prairie boy" in Saskatchewan and, after having studied
law at the University of Saskatchewan, went to Oxford University
as a Rhodes Scholar. Returning to Canada, he practised law in
Regina, before becoming a professor of law at Dalhousie University
from 1934-1945. Responding to the wish of the Bar of British
Columbia that a law school be established in the province, the
University of British Columbia appointed him the founding dean
of the new law school.
Remaining active at the law school right up to his death, he
has influenced the lives and careers of some of Canada's top
judges, many of its distinguished teachers and thousands of its
practising lawyers. At the international level, he was a delegate
to four Commonwealth Education Conferences resulting in the creation
of the Commonwealth Scholarships, served as a special advisor
to the Government of Canada at the United Nations Convention
on the Law of the Sea and represented the country at two United
Nations Law of the Sea conferences.
Some of his other accomplishments, of which he was particularly
proud, were having initiated the first program of public health
insurance as a student at the University of Saskatchewan, having
drafted the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act which saved the
family farms of Dirty Thirties from rogue creditors, having been
a part of the first post-war committee to revise Canadian competition
policy, having encouraged and actively overseen the graduation
of the first aboriginal Canadian from a law school in Canada,
having been a member of the first federal electoral boundaries
commission, having been the labour arbitrator who kept the Empress
Hotel open in 1958, having been the one in 1953 to suggest naming
the Queen Elizabeth Islands in order to reinforce Canada's Arctic
claims, having been the one in 1963 to name Simon Fraser University,
having helped to establish and draft the constitution of the
Association of Universities and Colleagues of Canada (A.U.C.C.)
and the Council of Canadian Law Deans. On a personal level, he
spoke passionately of his love for the contemplative art of fly
fishing.
He received many awards over his lifetime, from the Governor-General's
Bronze Medal at the age of 18, to honorary degrees from several
Canadian universities, to being the first recipient of the Law
Society of British Columbia Award in 1986, to being named to
the Order of British Columbia in 1995, and to the Order of Canada
in 2004.
A funeral service will be held at St. Anselm's Anglican Church,
5210 University Boulevard, Vancouver, at 2: 00 p.m. on Wednesday,
November 2, 2005. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, donations

STEEVES,
David▼ -- Dispatch
By Katie ROOK,
Saturday,
February 12, 2005 - Page M4
David STEEVES, known as the Cat Doctor, was esteemed by clients
and colleagues for his knack with the animals. Even the most
skittish kitties seemed to calm in his presence.
Dr. STEEVES, 36, would often take a seriously ill cat home so
he could provide around-the-clock care.
If he had to leave an ailing animal at his Davenport Road feline
veterinary clinic, he was known to return at 3 a.m. to check
up on it.
It was Dr.
STEEVES's childhood cat, Tippy, that inspired him
to get into animal medicine.
Dr. STEEVES and his partner of 16 years, Malcolm
GILMOUR, had
three cats, including a hairless named Rogaine after the hair-loss
remedy, or Rogue for short.
Dr. STEEVES worked with Annex Cat Rescue to find homes for stray
cats. He offered a discount on fees for less well-to-do clients
and would sometimes help to relocate cats when owners could no
longer care for them.
A graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Dr.
STEEVES
was just 25 when he took over the Cat Doctor, a pre-existing
practice. Later, he returned to school part-time and earned his
M.B.A. from the Rotman School of Management at the University
of Toronto.
Diabetic felines were of particular interest to Dr.
STEEVES.
He advocated proper diet for cats with diabetes. Healthy eating
for both animals and humans was important to Dr.
STEEVES, who
was an excellent cook, Mr.
GILMOUR said.
Dr. STEEVES's cancer -- non-Hodgkin's lymphoma -- came on quickly
and he expected to recover, going so far as to move the Cat Doctor
to a new location on Belmont Street three months ago.
When it became apparent that he would no longer be able to practise,
he closed the clinic permanently on December 31, but continued
to work on files until two days before his death on January 8.

GILMOUR,
Clyde, 1997 -- Died This Day
Tuesday, November 8, 2005, Page S9
Writer and broadcaster born in Calgary on June 8, 1912.
After growing up in Medicine Hat, he planned to go to the University
of Alberta to study law but the Depression wiped out his father's
savings. He found a job with the Calgary Herald and then the
Medicine Hat News, earning $20 a week. In lieu of a raise, he
was offered the chance to write an entertainment column. During
a summer holiday, he tried out for a reporting job at the Edmonton
Journal, working without pay. He was taken on staff, where he
remained until 1942, when he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy
and served as a press officer. After the war, he went to Vancouver
to work as an entertainment writer and columnist. In 1954, he
moved to the Toronto Telegram, and then to the Toronto Star in
1971. In the days before film reviews were a standard part of
a newspaper package, Clyde
GILMOUR was Canada's only movie critic.
His tastes were middle-of-the-road but suited a time when movies
were still family entertainment. He continued to review films
until 1983, when he finally decided that he and Hollywood were
no longer meant for each other. By that time, he had long been
a fixture on radio and it was through Gilmour's Albums, launched
in 1956, that he found his greatest satisfaction. He broadcast
52 weeks of the year and boasted that everything he played came
from his own collection of about 15,000 records and Compact Disks.

Father to three, friend to all
Bill McGILL spent career at the Star
'He was just a delight': co-worker
By Hilda HOY,
Staff
Reporter
Bill McGILL loved people. A family man and a community man, he
took great delight in forming relationships with other people,
no matter what the context.
His son, Jamie
McGILL, fondly recalls a father who loved people
so much, he avoided using bank machines so he could go inside
and chat with the teller.
"He loved to chat people up, he was very, very well loved by
so many people. He had a wonderful ability to make people feel
like they were truly special."
Said daughter Patti
SMITH: "He was a capital 'G' good guy. He'd
do anything for anybody. He really loved doing things for other
people. That's a dying breed."
In a cruel irony, the heart that gave so freely to others would
trouble him for much of his later life. On Thursday, it quietly
gave out. He was 83.
McGILL loved his work, and spent his entire 41-year career working
in various departments at the Toronto Star.
His affiliation with the newspaper began with a boyhood paper
route, followed by a part-time office boy job during high school,
Jamie said. Upon graduation, he joined the Air Force and fought
in World War 2.
After the war, he rejoined the Star, working in payroll before
moving into display advertising.
He cherished the close-knit office and his relationships with
co-workers and clients, Jamie said. "He was very proud (that)
the work he did was about relationships with other people."
His father was also proud to say he worked at the Star because
the paper's ethics were in line with his strong social conscience,
he added.
Bill CLARK, a long-time co-worker in advertising, recalls a hardworking,
congenial friend who would good-humouredly shoot a steely glare
before "just giving you this huge smile. He was just a delight
to work with."
"Everyone that came in touch with him liked him very much," said
Jim GILMOUR, another Star veteran, who worked with
McGILL for
more than 30 years. "He was a wonderful friend."
McGILL was dedicated to his community -- involving himself in
his church, volunteering for Meals on Wheels and as a Boy Scout
leader -- but was especially devoted to his family.
He adored his wife of 59 years, Margaret, and children David,
Jamie and Patti, and doted on his nine grandchildren and one
great-grand_son.
Other than his war service,
McGILL stayed close to home, until
he surprised his wife with two tickets to Bermuda on their 25th
wedding anniversary. That trip sparked a passion for travel.
In addition to yearly trips to England, the couple visited every
country in the Caribbean and fell in love with Barbados, visiting
more than 30 times.
"Travelling was another opportunity to meet people," said Jamie,
adding his father would strike up conversations in airport lounges,
hotels or taxicabs. "He established quite a large network of
Friends that way."
GILMOUR spoke yesterday for many: "Those of us who are left will
miss him very much."
The funeral is today at 11 a.m., Humbervale United Church, 1447
Royal York Rd., Etobicoke.
