Boyfriend charged in toddler's death
Toddler found dead in wooded lot near Cambridge
Mother's boyfriend charged with first-degree murder
By Nicolaas
VAN
RIJN,
Staff
Reporter
The desperate search for a little boy just shy of his second
birthday has ended with the discovery of his body in a wooded
lot on the outskirts of Cambridge and the arrest of a man on
a charge of first-degree murder.
Police found the body of 22-month-old Donny
CLUBB in a wooded
area between the Grand River and the Whistle Bear Golf Club early
yesterday, but would not say what or who led them there.
"Those human remains we believe to be that of Donovan
CLUBB,"
Waterloo regional police Insp. Bryan
LARKIN told a news conference,
adding an autopsy must still be done. "We're in the early hours
of investigation at the crime scene."
The discovery left the little boy's parents devastated.
His mother, 21-year-old Courtney
CATTON of Chatham, was in disbelief,
her sister Britney said.
"It isn't real," Britney
CATTON said. "It's one thing to lose
your baby, but to lose him to murder is another thing. It's unexplainable.
The only break that my sister had in so long was her kid. He's
never gone from her side, ever."
Matt CLUBB, the boy's father, was in shock. "I can't believe
this is happening," said
CLUBB, 21. "It's like a bad dream and
I'm waiting to wake up. But I can't.
"I don't want to believe that this has really happened, I just
miss him so much."
CLUBB said police "won't tell us much... if he was buried or
not... because they don't want it to interfere with their investigation."
Pam CLUBB, the boy's grandmother, was overcome with grief. "I
have a picture of him in a bathtub, he looks so beautiful....
I've been looking at it and all I want to do is hold him, but
I can't."
Donny, who had been the subject of a seldom-used province-wide
Amber Alert after his mother reported him missing Thursday, was
last seen a week ago, when his mother's 35-year-old boyfriend
took him on what police believe was a fishing trip in Simcoe,
where he has connections.
"Donny's mother was well aware that Donny was going to go away
for a period of time," said Chatham-Kent Insp. George
FLIKWEERT.
"What they did there, we're not 100 per cent sure, but they were
there for several days."
Casey PETERS, who lives next door to the Kitchener house sometimes
used by the boyfriend, said she saw a little boy she believes
was Donny in a car with the man Monday.
"The kid looked content,"
PETERS said.
The fishing trip was to have ended Wednesday, and the boy's mother
went to bed that night thinking he was back home.
When she found Donny missing Thursday morning,
FLIKWEERT said,
she called police, who began a missing person investigation at
10: 48 a.m.
Donny's mother told police her boyfriend returned home to their
Chatham residence late Wednesday night, and told her that her
son was sleeping in the basement of their home.
The man left at about 5: 30 a.m. Thursday, but when
CATTON went
to look for Donny later that morning she couldn't find him, and
called police.
After the boyfriend was arrested in Kitchener on Canada Day,
he was interviewed by detectives with the assistance of members
of the Ontario Provincial Police's behavioural sciences unit.
"The investigation revealed the circumstances surrounding the
death of Donny," Deputy Chief Jack
CHAMBERS of Chatham-Kent police
said.
Neighbours of
CATTON said she had been living with Donny and
her boyfriend on Edgar Ave., a quiet street on Chatham's south
side.
Rosaire STERLING and his wife
Ruth, who have lived on Edgar for
37 years, recalled seeing the energetic child playing in front
of their home.
"He used to play right on the road, but my three granddaughters
played in the back," Sterling said. "I used to holler at the
mum to pull him in. It's a calm street, but there's still a bit
of traffic.
"These people didn't cause any rumpus,"
STERLING added. "They
were good people."
Neighbours and other well-wishers began placing flowers in front
of CATTON's house, roped off with yellow police crime scene tape,
shortly after the news of Donny's death broke yesterday.
Among those paying their respects were Brenda
McKINLAY, her young
son Zack and boyfriend Bob.
After she placed a single red rose and a small stuffed teddy
bear in front of the house, her boyfriend paused and considered
the little boy standing beside them.
"Zack's the same age as little Donovan," said Bob.
"It kind of hits home."
Donny's father, meanwhile, was struggling to cope with his loss.
"He was an energetic little boy, always moving, always smiling,
always full of life,"
CLUBB said. "I'll never have the chance
to see him grow up and be with him."
Donny's grandmother, too, thought of the good time that will
never come again.
"When he would cry, I would take him to the kitchen window and
he would look outside, and he would laugh, but that will never
happen again," Pam
CLUBB said.
Charged with first-degree murder is Shawn Tyler
PALMER, who was
arrested Canada Day on a warrant charging him with abduction.
He is to make an audio court appearance in Chatham on Wednesday.

Joe SIMIANA, 52: Lived to ride
Joe SIMIANA loved his family, his job as a cop, and his motorcycles
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
There was no way any of Joe
SIMIANA's
Friends or family were
going to ride in his funeral procession in a limo. That would
be disrespectful to the big-hearted cop from Peel Region. So
they pulled up to the church November 2 in a thunderous wave
of 15 motorcycles, ridden by fellow police officers and his family.
His wife Laurie
THIBEAULT rode in his pickup, the burgundy and
pewter 2000 Chevy 1500 with the extended cab. He got it three
years ago, finally, after years of driving clunkers. Every time
he took Laurie and their 5-year-old son Augustus for a ride in
it, he'd turn to her and say "I love this truck" as soon as he'd
hit the highway.
She rode in it to the funeral service with the windows down,
so she could hear the thunder of the honour guard as she was
going down the road. Her husband had loved motorcycles, especially
the Moto Guzzi manufactured by Italy's oldest motorcycle maker.
SIMIANA had three of those, including the 1972 model he'd been
restoring for the past two years.
"He wasn't very mechanical," said his brother John, who is.
But he was the centre of laughter, the first son in a sprawling,
loving, bike-riding Maltese family of eight kids who grew up
in Oshawa listening to motorcycle stories. "We were raised on
stories of the war and motorcycles," said Veronica
LARKIN,
Joe
SIMIANA's sister.
Like the one their grandfather rode in World War I. And the German-owned
Moto Guzzi captured in Libya and sold to their father, Joe, by
a British officer after World War 2. That motorcycle stayed in
Malta when their parents immigrated to Canada in 1950.
In 1988 the three
SIMIANA sons got together to get the motorcycle
over here for their dad. Joe did the letter-writing. Negotiations
were tricky because the Maltese government had its eye on it
for its wartime museum, but the family wanted it for their dad.
In the huge clan -- as of last summer there are 37 grandchildren
it was Joe
SIMIANA who was the life of every party, the prankster,
the kind of guy who had to race with the kids -- and beat them.
They have a videotape of a race in which
SIMIANA, neck and neck
with his nephew Johnny, caught his nephew's foot to cross the
finish line first.
He'd put a Cabbage Patch doll in a baby's snowsuit and hurl it
across the room. "Here, catch," he'd say to his horrified mother,
who thought it was one of her grandchildren.
A father to four girls, as well as Augustus, he was adored by
his nephews and nieces. "I'm the master of disaster," he'd say,
then start an arm wrestling contest, or sock-swapping, or race
everyone into the lake, even though he was a lousy swimmer.
"All our brothers and sisters, their faces light up when they
talk about their relationship with Joe," said his younger brother,
John. "He walked on water for a lot of us."
In high school
SIMIANA broke the Ontario high jump record; he
was also a good baseball, football and hockey player. When he
was 18, he was in a devastating motorcycle accident. "Just a
couple of weeks after that accident with a cast on his hip he
was gone on his motorcycle," said John. "He loved riding anywhere,
anytime."
But he was a careful rider, who always rode in full safety gear.
He became a police officer right after high school. It's what
he always wanted to do.
"In his mind being a cop was like being a Boy Scout and being
able to do a good deed every day," said his wife, Laurie.
He was the kind of guy who shovelled his neighbours' driveways
and raked their leaves.
His work ethic was legendary -- routinely he'd show up for his
shift 45 minutes early. He never took a lunch. In one 10-year
period he never took a sick day. He met Laurie, his second wife,
when he was investigating a case with the fraud squad; he worked
in the youth bureau, in intelligence, did a stint in homicide,
and loved being a uniformed patrol sergeant.
"He was a great investigator," said Const. Steve
KING, who worked
with SIMIANA for years both in the youth and fraud squads. "He
liked to get the bad guy. He would work until he got him."
He also liked to tease his partner.
KING remembered coming back
to their squad car after picking up some fraud documents to find
his lunch neatly laid out on the front seat, with one bite taken
out of the sandwich. "Just making sure it was safe to eat,"
SIMIANA
would say with a grin.
SIMIANA bested
KING's retaliatory joke on him --
KING had laughingly
signed a photo of himself with "To Joe, All the best in your
career" -- by whiting out the word Joe and selling personalized
versions of it to fellow officers, lawyers, even judges, for
a dime each as their membership into the "Steve King fan club."
Then he went one step further by printing and tacking up posters
urging people to come out and meet Steve
KING throughout the
Aylmer courthouse where King was testifying.
A diagnosis of a rare viral illness two years ago forced
SIMIANA
into a no-stress desk job, but he was recovering well and had
just received the medical clearance he needed to get back to
what he believed was his real work in policing. He was going
to start a new posting at the start of the next week.
On his way downstairs to lift weights in their Burlington home,
he told Laurie he felt great and was thrilled about his new posting.
She told him she was proud of him whatever he did and that she
loved him. He told her he loved her too.
Seconds later she heard his laboured breathing and raced downstairs
to find he had collapsed. He died in her arms of a heart attack.
He was 52; he had been a police officer for 31 years.
More than 1,000 people came to his funeral, including Peel police
Chief Noël
CATNEY, who had known
SIMIANA for years. During the
service, in a spontaneous gesture,
CATNEY bent over Augustus,
told him he was an honorary policeman and gave him his father's
police hat.
Everybody says Augustus is just like his father, the same grin,
the same fearless goofiness, the same deep-down pride. The boy
took the hat, turned to his father's casket, and saluted.
Joe SIMIANA's
Moto
Guzzi is now at his brother John's house.
"It's immaculate," he said. "A gorgeous piece."
Eventually, John
SIMIANA said, he wants to organize a memorial
motorcycle ride for his brother, with the proceeds going to the
Heart and Stroke Foundation. So that someone will always ride
the Moto Guzzi for Joe.
