It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jack ROSEN at the age of 78 after a long and brave confrontation with a lengthy illness. Beloved husband of Honey ROSEN who was his constant and loyal companion, confidante and best friend throughout his life and illness.

Their amazing Zaidi was extremely delighted in celebrating the birth of his first great-grandchild, Coen FOSTER. As a doting father and grandfather, Jack provided the kind of comfort, advice and encouragement that enriched their lives and made them strong. He was the proud son of the late Israel and Rose ROSEN. Jack was born in Russia and was raised from infancy in Canada with his three sisters Eve GORDON (Jack,) Edythe BLACKSTEIN (the late Sam,) Sue FELDMAN (Mike) and his late brother, Percy ROSEN (Linda.) An accomplished businessman, Jack and his late brother Percy and brother-in-law Jack joined his late father, Israel ROSEN in the family business, I. Rosen and Sons, and built it to become one of Ontario's premier recycling businesses.

For this achievement and many others, he received the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recycling Council of Ontario. Jack was a selfless and often anonymous benefactor for countless charitable causes and individuals. He was a past president of Beth Jacob Synagogue.

Popular horse rider dies after fall
'You couldn't meet a nicer person' said friend Karen FOSTER
'She never had anything bad to say about anything'
By Jim ALGIE, Sun Times Staff, and Don CROSBY, Sun Times Correspondent, Page A1
Patricia MOORE died doing what she loved.
"She loved her horses more than anything except her grandchildren," said a woman who works in the Holstein General store.
A well-known Mount Forest-area rider, MOORE, 45, died after a fall from her
horse during during barrel race practice at A-Bar-K Rodeo farm near Holstein early Wednesday evening.
MOORE had two grandchildren, one-year-old Breanna and five-year-old Alex. She and her husband Don took the grandchildren to Disney last winter. The couple were accomplished riders who competed at events in Canada and the U.S.
Last February the MOOREs held a fundraiser for Pat's father, Andy McROBBIE, to help raise money for a new house. His house was destroyed by fire.
"You couldn't meet a nicer person. She never had anything bad to say about anything, never heard her complain about work... a happy go lucky person," said friend Karen FOSTER. "It makes you wonder how life is fair."
MOORE had completed a practice run on a ranch partly owned by FOSTER.
The horse she was riding failed to stop as expected, witnesses: told police. The animal, which belonged to MOORE, ran onto a small concrete slab where it lost its footing and fell, Grey County Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Senior Const. Steve STARR said in an interview.
In the fall, MOORE struck her head on the concrete. She suffered what STARR described as a serious head injury.
MOORE had been part of a group which met regularly at the farm to practise competitive rodeo manoeuvres.
Other participants provided first-aid to the injured rider until paramedics, including an advanced life support unit from Palmerston, arrived.
Air ambulance took MOORE directly to Hamilton General Hospital at about 8: 20 p.m. She was pronounced dead shortly after midnight at the hospital.
The barrel race requires horse and rider to complete a timed dash, weaving among a series of empty barrels placed in a consistent pattern.
MOORE was not wearing protective headgear at the time of her fall, STARR said.
"We're just kind of in limbo here," said FOSTER, her voice cracking with emotion as she walked from the scene of the accident to the house where people who had been with MOORE the night before were grieving.

In Memory of Thelma, who passed away 20 years ago, November 28, 1985. We did not lose the one we loved, Even though she may be gone, We feel her gentle presence, In the hush of every dawn. We see her in the sunlight, That makes the day so bright, We see her in the flowers of springtime, And in the stars at night. The heart is like a treasure chest, That's filled with souvenirs, It's there we keep the memories, We've gathered through the years. We did not lose the one we loved, For she will always stay, In all that's bright and beautiful, Around us everyday. Lovingly remembered by husband Ben, children Jim, Carter, Doug, Nan and families.

Man killed in crash
By Ian McINROY, Thursday, September 15, 2005
Bradford -- Another local driver has lost his life, the fourth in just 10 days.
South Simcoe police say a Ford Mustang entered the ditch on 5th Sideroad after going out of control yesterday, just south of Line 4 around 9: 30 a.m., striking a tree.
Authorities have released few details, but say the male driver was not wearing a seat-belt and was thrown from the vehicle.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. (His name is being withheld pending the notification of next of kin.)
Weather was not a factor, said South Simcoe police Insp. Tom WILSON, adding that was also the case with previous fatalities September 7 and September 4.
“We're trying to determine whether or not speed is the common denominator. The others were also in broad daylight,” he said Wednesday.
“The road conditions were fine, it hadn't rained. People should be aware of the roads they're driving on and drive accordingly and be a little more cognizant of their speed,” he said.
Innisfil resident Glenn MOORE, 56, died September 7 in a collision on the northbound off-ramp of Highway 400 at Innisfil Beach Road.
Police▼ said MOORE was killed when he lost control of his motorcycle on the off-ramp, colliding with an eastbound pickup truck on Innisfil Beach Road.
“It just appears that he was going to fast for the off-ramp,&rdquo said South Simcoe police Sgt. Steve WILSON.
The crash happened at about 1: 45 p.m., closing the area to traffic for nearly five hours while police investigated.
Another Innisfil resident, Josef LUCKAS, 45, was killed the afternoon of September 4 when the car he was driving on Big Bay Point Road rolled several times in a ditch and slammed into a tree.
Police say LUCKAS was not wearing a seat-belt and was thrown from the car.
A third Innisfil man, 33-year-old Douglas THORN, was killed when his pickup truck rolled into a ditch on the 10th Line of Essa Township the evening of September 5. He was taken to Royal Victoria Hospital and airlifted to Sunnybrook Medical Centre in Toronto where he died of his injuries.

Barrie woman dies in crash
By Robin MacLENNAN, Monday, September 19, 2005
A 27-year-old Barrie woman was found dead in her car Sunday morning, in a Springwater Township field near Highway 26.
Huronia West Ontario Provincial Police said Amy RAY was driving a grey Volkswagen Jetta eastbound on Highway 26, east of Mayer Road in Springwater Township, Saturday night or early Sunday morning when she lost control.
The car hit the south shoulder before veering north across both lanes of traffic and entering the north ditch where it struck a culvert and rolled several times, police said.
An Ontario Provincial Police officer on routine patrol at about 4: 30 a.m. Sunday found the car in the field.
“An initial investigation revealed that a lone occupant was still inside,” police said.
“Springwater Fire Department and Simcoe County Paramedic Services attended the scene to assist, however, the lone occupant was pronounced dead at the scene,” police said.
A post-mortem examination was scheduled for Sunday, but results were not available at press time.
RAY is the ninth person to die in a crash on Simcoe county highways since early August. Eight of the victims were involved in single-vehicle collisions and the ninth was riding a motorcycle.
An Innisfil man died September 14 when his Ford Mustang went into the ditch on the 5th Sideroad of Bradford-West Gwillimbury.
South Simcoe Police also investigated a fatal crash September 7, when resident Glenn MOORE, 56, lost control of his motorcycle on the northbound Highway 400 off-ramp at Innisfil Beach Road, slamming into an eastbound pick-up truck.
Josef LUCKAS, 45, of Innisfil was not wearing a seat-belt when he lost control of his car on Big Bay Point Road September 4. the car rolled several times in a ditch and hit a tree.
Another Innisfil resident, Douglas THORN, was killed when his pick-up truck rolled into a ditch on the 10th Line of Essa Township September 5.
Two people were killed near Stayner on August 24, after the pick-up truck they were in was involved in a crash and they were thrown from the vehicle.
A teen driver was killed and two of his three passengers were also seriously injured in a car crash August 18 on the southbound ramp of the Highway 400 extension, just north of Barrie.
On August 12, a Toronto teen was killed in a crash on Highway 400 at the Highway 89 on ramp. Again, the driver lost control and none of the car's occupants were wearing seat-belts.

Harry J. BOYLE, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Broadcaster: Farmer's son from southwestern Ontario shook the soil off his feet to become a radio and television pioneer who shaped Canada's air waves, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN, With files from Canadian Press, Monday, January 24, 2005 - Page S6
Broadcaster, playwright, novelist, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation executive and a former Chair of the Canadian and Radio Television Commission, Harry J. BOYLE was a huge influence on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio and television as a programmer, talent spotter (think Wayne and Shuster), broadcast boss and policy maker.
"He helped the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation become the link that held the country together," said novelist and radio producer Howard ENGEL. "The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in my time [the 1950s-1970s] was like the railway a century earlier. It let people in Corner Brook know what was going on in Edmonton. He was very important that way in his writing and in his broadcasting."
Harry BOYLE was born on a farm in 1915 in southwestern Ontario. After graduating from Wingham High School and St. Jerome's College (now part of the University of Waterloo) he worked as a journalist for the Goderich Signal Star and a stringer for the London Free Press and the Globe and Mail.
He got his first job as a broadcaster in 1936 at Radio Station CKNX in Wingham, Ontario, the town later made famous as the birthplace and literary home of short-story writer Alice MUNRO. He left the radio station in 1941 and worked for a year at the Stratford Beacon-Herald before joining the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a farm commentator in 1942. He quickly rose to become a network supervisor of features and director of the National Farm Radio Forum.
"He literally had an understanding of broadcasting and life from the grass roots up because he was a farmer," said playwright and Toronto cultural maven Mavor MOORE who was a colleague at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio as far back as the 1940s. There were two Canadian programs that were way ahead of every other in the world in terms of the size of their collective audience audiences that would gather in halls and meeting places across the country to listen to radio, according to Mr. MOORE. One of them was the Citizen's Forum and the other was the Farm Forum under Mr. BOYLE's supervision.
"He was a real thinking farmer," said Mr. MOORE, "and a good deal deeper than people expected of the head of the farm dept." Those programs gave him an insight into the importance of broadcasting across the country, an understanding that he used "to turn radio into a medium where difficult and large topics could be tackled," said Mr. MOORE. With his "enquiring mind and his lively concern about big issues in society and communications" he was an "anomaly among the people starting radio and television, who were on the whole pretty low brow," according to Mr. MOORE.
He was an anomaly in other ways, too. A devout Irish Catholic who enjoyed a drink or three, Mr. BOYLE hated hypocrisy, top-down bureaucracies and micro-managing. The legendary broadcaster Max FERGUSON was a staff announcer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the late 1940s. By that time Mr. BOYLE was head of the Trans-Can network.
"I was the lowest paid announcer on staff," Mr. FERGUSON remembered yesterday, "Every year we got an annual increment, although we called it the annual excrement because it was about ten dollars a year." That year -- it was 1949 -- Mr. FERGUSON was told by a functionary that he wasn't going to get a raise at all, even though he was doing Rawhide, his satirical commentary in addition to his regular duties.
In the ensuing blow-up, Mr. FERGUSON either quit or was fired for insubordination, depending on who is telling the story. While Mr. FERGUSON was still seething, along came Mr. BOYLE with the suggestion that he should think about selling Rawhide to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on a freelance basis. "He was like the army sergeant interceding for the privates with the officers, except he did it between the announcers and the producers," said Mr. FERGUSON.
"He sold that Rawhide show to them [the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]for about five times my salary and I was able to move back to Halifax, which I certainly preferred to Toronto. Things worked out beautifully and I owe it all to Harry BOYLE. He was the only one who would listen to you and go to bat for you with his bosses."
When the Dominion Network was established at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Mr. BOYLE created the feature show Assignment which reflected "homey" local stories from across Canada and his real triumph, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Wednesday Night, a mix of opera, musicals, classical and original plays and even documentaries that ran for 90 minutes or three hours depending on the strength of the program. Until then, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation schedule was divided into rigidly fixed and timed segments. What Mr. BOYLE did, to the delight of both listeners and freelance producers, was to make the process more flexible so that the quality of the program determined the schedule rather than the other way around. This was the era that is known as the "golden age" of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with actors and producers of the ilk of John Drainie and Lister Sinclair fusing listeners to their radios.
"He was the making of me," said retired radio producer Howard ENGEL, only one of many people Mr. BOYLE took a chance on as broadcasters. "I was a high-school teacher and not much enjoying it in the mid-1950s," he said, confessing that after a single pedagogical year in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, he had given it up and moved to Toronto and was looking for work. The two met over a drink at a crowded table in the Evereen, a pub across from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Jarvis Street, just north of the Celebrity Club, a local watering hole that Mr. BOYLE was known to frequent.
He sent Mr. Engel off with a tape recorder and commissioned him to do a short documentary about the celebration of Chinese New Year in Toronto's Chinatown. "That meant I had to learn how to use a tape recorder, to edit tape and to do a mix," Mr. ENGEL said, confessing that he produced a 45 minute script that he had to boil down to about five minutes. He soon became a tape editor on Assignment with host Bill McNEIL.
Mr. BOYLE made the tape recorder an indispensable tool of broadcasting, said Mr. ENGEL, as essential as a typewriter was for print journalists at the time. In doing so, he ruffled the technicians union. He was in favour of unions, said Mr. ENGEL, but he thought this was new territory and in the same way that you wouldn't impose somebody sitting on the lap of a print journalist writing on a typewriter, he believed broadcast journalists should be allowed to go out and record sounds and voices.
Although Mr. BOYLE had a bad enough drinking problem that he would disappear from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for as much as a week at a time, Mr. ENGEL said he could always re-invent and resurrect both himself and his career with brilliant new programming ideas. "He was a multiple phoenix," said Mr. ENGEL, who was able to save himself by his own invention.
He could arouse envy as well as admiration in other broadcasters. Margaret LYONS, former vice-president English radio services for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, was a senior producer in public affairs and "a competitor for air time" in the 1960s. She remembers Mr. BOYLE as "very independent minded" with no patience for political or any other kind of "correctness." Saying that Mr. BOYLE was a great generalist who always wanted to poke fun at the establishment and against all forms of intellectual pretension, she said he was an iconoclast who gave legitimacy to an irreverence about public life and broadcasting bureaucracy. "His commonsensical approach was a good thing," she concluded.
He was always at loggerheads with the brass above him, said Mr. ENGLE and when he went to Ottawa he found himself in the same situation with his political bosses. In 1968, Mr. BOYLE was appointed vice chairman of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, the independent public authority that regulates and supervises broadcasting and telecommunications in Canada. He succeeded Pierre JUNEAU as chairman when Mr. JUNEAU resigned in 1975 and was later confirmed to the position in 1976.
A committed nationalist, Mr. BOYLE had a huge influence on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission and the shaping of the 1968 broadcasting act, according to Joan Irwin a journalist who wrote about the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission for a number of print outlets at the time. 'Harry was better at cutting through crap than anybody I have ever known. He was absolutely real and he could see through anybody -- a terrific guy."
Mr. BOYLE left the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission after a year, having gained a reputation, along with Mr. JUNEAU, of safeguarding domestic ownership of Canada's broadcasting industry and creating a set of Canadian content quotas for television, among other initiatives.
In 1977, Mr. BOYLE presided over a committee of inquiry which examined national broadcasting shortly after the victory of the separatist Parti Quebecois victory in Quebec's 1976 election. The report was critical of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for failing to promote communications among the country's regional and linguistic communities, and expressed concern about the centralization of the system, the lack of programming from regions outside central Canada and the gap between French and English audiences.
Mr. BOYLE was also a newspaper columnist, an essayist, novelist and playwright. His novels, included, A Summer Burning (1964), With a Pinch of Sin (1966), Memories of a Catholic Boyhood (1973) and The Luck of the Irish (1975). His radio and stage plays including Strike, The Macdonalds of Oak Valley and The Inheritance. He won the Stephen Leacock award for humour and the John Drainie award.
Harry J. BOYLE was born on October 7, 1915 in St. Augustine, Ontario He died in Toronto on January 22, 2005. He was 89. He is survived by a son and a daughter.

MARCHANT, Edith▼ Cavell▼ 'Scottie' (née SCOTT) R.N. (1915-2005)
A proud and determined lady died peacefully in her sleep on March 5th, 2005 in her ninetieth year after fighting a difficult condition for a number of years. Predeceased by her husband Bert in 1967 and brothers Wendell and Leighton decades earlier. Survived by brothers Nelson (Joan) of Kelowna, British Columbia, Ted (Jean) of Houston, Texas, sister Lorraine CRESTON of British Columbia, daughter Wenda MOORE (George▲▼) of Alban, Ontario, sons Murray (Susan) of Toronto, Douglas (Marjorie) of Cherry Valley, Ontario, Kenneth (Pat) of Guelph and Andrew (Tamila) of Oakville. She was proud of her family and especially of her 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Edith was born in the Gaspe region of Quebec to Harry SCOTT and Ada Marie (OGILVIE) on October 4, 1915. She obtained her R.N. at the Jeffrey Hale Hospital in Quebec city in 1938. She married Bert MARCHANT in 1939 in Quebec City and lived in Montreal and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia as Bert was posted to many locations during his military career before their final destination of Ottawa in 1954. She looked after their increasing family on her own in Halifax/Dartmouth when Bert was stationed in post-war Germany. Edith returned to work in 1957. She enjoyed nursing and worked for a number of years for doctors and at hospitals in the Ottawa area. Her husband had suffered a series of heart attacks. Her mother Marie came to live with the family as well in the late 1950's and Edith gave selflessly over many years to support the family financially, spiritually and physically. She had little time for herself but she seemed to thrive on the heavy workload. Bert died in 1967 but she continued to raise the family on her own and sacrificed to see her children educated and self-sufficient. She still was the primary care giver for her aging mother until her death in 1989. Edith loved live. She read prolifically and wrote stories, poetry and kept detailed diaries throughout her life. She had many Friends, loved gardening and travel. Later in life she took as many opportunities to see as much of the world as possible and traveled extensively in Europe and south-east Asia and Australia. She also had a special physic gift that she used to help others. Her warmth and kindness will live on in the memories of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Special thanks from the family to Doug and Marjorie MARCHANT who provided a home, love and care to Edith in her declining years and also to the staff at Picton Manor Nursing Home for their exemplary work. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Alzheimer's Society. A graveside service will be held in Kars, Ontario in the spring when Edith's ashes are to be buried alongside her late husband.

LORIMER, Myrtle I. (née MOORE)
On April 6 Myrtle I. LORIMER died in Coquitlam, British Columbia from a cancer that confined her to bed in her last weeks. She did not suffer unduly and maintained her wry sense of humour almost until the end. She assured us all many times that she had led a long and happy life.
Myrt▼ was born May 20, 1912 in Regina to James Hamilton MOORE, blacksmith, and Annie (HUNTER) MOORE, seamstress. She is survived by her husband Wes, whom she married in 1940, her children James (publisher, Halifax), Rowland (professor, Vancouver) and Elizabeth (Betty; musician, Ottawa), her grandchildren Eric and MifAnne Lorimer BOLLMAN, Stefan, Conor, and Julia LORIMER and step-grandchildren Lynn MacGREGOR, Wendy MacGregor STORDY and Bill MacGREGOR, and her nephews and nieces. In her final years her nephew David BROWN and his wife, Marsha, were most kind and nurturing.
In early adulthood, Myrt acquired a specialist certificate for teaching kindergarten and began her professional career in Regina. However she was forced to give up teaching by a Regina School Board policy forbidding the employment of married women. She briefly returned to teaching kindergarten in Moose Jaw and then again in her 80s and 90s at Maple Leaf Estates in Florida, teaching music theory to seniors.
Myrtle and Wes moved their family to Winnipeg in 1949 and Myrt became active in many community organizations as a board member, board chair, and president. Her volunteer work included the Children's Home, the Fort Garry Library, the Winnipeg Library, and, perhaps her greatest love, the International Music Camp at the Peace Garden where she was involved for 45 years, many years as a board member, some as president. She was instrumental in establishing the Manitoba Committee, a group of nine Canadians who, with nine Americans, operate the music camp. She recognized as a Woman of Distinction in 1984 by the Winnipeg Young Women's Christian Association / Young Men's Christian Association, by the Mayor of Winnipeg for her service to the city, and by the International Music Camp.
We will remember Myrt's social grace and acumen, her sense of justice, her love of music and art, her avid card playing, her feistiness, her love, warmth, and conspiratorial delight, and her devotion to providing opportunities for her family and others.
A memorial service will be held Friday April 15 at 3: 00 pm at Saint John's College Chapel at the University of Manitoba. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the International Music Camp c/o #9 - 270 Roslyn Road, Winnipeg R3L 0H3, Crossroads Hospice, P.O. Box 1072, Coquitlam V3J 6Z4, or the Canadian Cancer Society.

HUBBARD, Bonnie Joanne (B.J.) - Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▼ April▼ 23, 2005, Page M4
Unable to have children of her own, Bonnie Joanne (B.J.) HUBBARD cared for so many foster kids that it took a funeral -- her own for some of them to finally meet each other.
Ms. HUBBARD, who would have turned 58 on Wednesday, was born in 1947 and moved several times around Ontario as she grew up. After settling with her second husband in Bramalea, she soon sought an outlet for her desire to raise a family.
Her husband, David, says Ms. HUBBARD's first marriage had broken up after she learned that she was unable to have children. Because she still wanted to be a mother, and because both she and Mr. HUBBARD had suffered abuse as children, they decided to take in needy youths. Over the years, they took responsibility for "18, maybe 20" foster children, Mr. HUBBARD says.
"My mother, a single mom, couldn't really afford to take care of me, and Bonnie took me in," says Mark PARLIAMENT, 37, who became Ms. HUBBARD's charge when he was 6 and was the first of many foster children who passed through the HUBBARDs' home. He spent the early part of his adolescence trying to re-establish his relationship with his birth mother but ultimately went back to live with the HUBBARDs until he was grown.
Ms. HUBBARD died on March 3 at her home outside Keswick, Ontario, after struggling with kidney failure and heart problems. New additions to the HUBBARD family kept turning up until the last day of her life, Mr. PARLIAMENT says. Most of them showed up at her funeral too.

Mother of 4 gunned down in Toronto nightclub
By James RUSK, Monday, April 25, 2005, Page A1
Last year, four young children tragically lost their father to cancer.
Early yesterday morning, their still-grieving mother, encouraged by Friends to join them at a birthday party, was caught in a frenzy of gunfire outside a North Toronto nightclub.
Livette Olivea MOORE, 26, was killed, leaving three boys and girl, all under 10 years old.
Her distraught father, Amos REID, clutched a photo of his daughter in his arms, struggling under the weight of her death, telling CTV News "she was my daughter and my friend, my daughter and my friend."
"I talked to the Creator this morning, and only he knows what's going on to this young generation," Mr. REID said.
"They've got to change their style. It's not good. It's killing us, big time," he said
Ms. MOORE died when she was caught in the gunfire about 3: 30 a.m. yesterday at a birthday party attended by about 200 people at the Prestige Palace restaurant on Milvan Drive in the Finch Avenue and Weston Road area.
"We've lost a young lady, one of our citizens, that was here to enjoy a party, and she's been gunned down in an early part of her life. It's just disgusting," Detective Wayne BANKS of the Toronto police told reporters outside the nightclub yesterday afternoon.
He said he could not yet explain the crime. "We've obviously had some kind of gunplay that's gone on. We've had a young lady lose her life, and several other people shot. What the motive is or what happened -- it's way too early in the investigation to determine that."
Six other people were also shot in the fracas, and gunfire was still being heard in the vicinity of the club when police and paramedics arrived shortly after 4 a.m., police said in a statement last night.
When the police and paramedics arrived, they found two victims inside the club with gunshot wounds. One of them, Ms. MOORE, died at the scene, while the second was taken to Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre with non-life-threatening injuries.
"While the investigation was ongoing, five other victims attended on their own to various Greater Toronto Area hospitals with gunshot wounds. These victims are currently being treated for various injuries, but none are considered to be life threatening," police said.
Police are not releasing the identity of any of the surviving victims.
They are reportedly seeking two suspects in the shooting.
At the same time as the shooting at the Prestige Palace, there was a shooting outside the Film Lounge, a club on Dundas Street West near Spadina Avenue.
A 33-year-old man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Award-winning political writer McCALL, 70, dies
Author published two volumes on Trudeau
By Oliver MOORE and Sandra MARTIN, Thursday,▼ April▲ 28, 2005, Page A8
Christina McCALL, the political writer who helped coin the phrase "he haunts us still" about Pierre Trudeau, died yesterday morning after a long illness. She was 70.
Ms. McCALL combined a journalism career with literary non-fiction writing, winning several awards for her work and, at one point, challenging her then-former-husband Peter C. NEWMAN in a duel played out at the top of the bestseller lists.
It was with her second husband, University of Toronto political economist Stephen CLARKSON, that she published two volumes on Mr. Trudeau, establishing the oft-used phrase about the former prime minister's ability to haunt Canadians.
Last night Mr. CLARKSON said Ms. McCALL had been seriously ill for more than a year with three progressive, incurable illnesses. She had found out about them one after the other, he said.
"But I don't want to concentrate on the illnesses," he said. "She was the premier political analyst of her generation.
"She was a perfectionist," he said. "What she loved was getting a letter from a carpenter who said she got it right. She was writing for her fellows, and by that I mean her fellow Canadians."
She died in the Providence Healthcare centre in Toronto. Her funeral is tomorrow.
In addition to her books, Ms. McCALL wrote about Canadian politics for years in senior positions at the magazines Saturday Night and Maclean's and at The Globe and Mail. She also held a position as assistant editor at Chatelaine magazine.
It was at Maclean's that she met Mr. NEWMAN, who at the time was married, but admitted recently in print to being "bowled over" by the editorial assistant. He suggested separation to his first wife and then, finding she was pregnant, said that he would remain until the birth, but could promise no more.
Mr. NEWMAN and Ms. McCALL were married in the autumn of 1959. Theirs was a literary as well as a marital partnership, with Ms. McCALL helping shepherd his 1963 book on Diefenbaker through the editing process.
Mr. NEWMAN once said she was his best editor.
The Diefenbaker book sent Mr. NEWMAN's reputation soaring, in a period during which Ms. McCALL continued writing. She received several Press Club Awards for magazine writing
She produced her own book nearly two decades later, several years after she and Mr. NEWMAN had parted company in 1977. The next year she married Mr. CLARKSON.
The 1982 publication of Grits: An Intimate Portrait of the Liberal Party peeled back layers of the governing party, offering Canadians telling glimpses of their leaders.
In one anecdote, she described Mr. TRUDEAU hearing over the phone that a hockey game was in progress.
There was an "awkward pause at the other end of the line and then Trudeau said, 'Oh, I see. What inning are they in?' "
Critics loved the book, which beat out a work from Ms. McCALL's former university professor, Northrop FRYE, for the 1983 non-fiction prize from the Canadian Authors Association. It was also nominated for a Governor-General's Award.
Grits -- praised as "one of the most important Canadian books of the 1980s" -- was locked in an end-of-year battle in 1982 with Mr. NEWMAN's biography of Conrad Black, The Establishment Manitoba
Nearly a decade later Ms. McCALL published the first volume of her two-volume work on Mr. Trudeau, collaborating with Mr. CLARKSON. The first volume won the Governor-General's Award in 1990.
Other works include The Man From Oxbow (1967) and The Unlikely Gladiators: Pearson and Diefenbaker Remembered (1999).
Ms. McCALL leaves her husband and three children, Ashley McCALL, Kyra CLARKSON and Blaise CLARKSON.

BUTCHERD, Stanley H. (April 14, 1924-April 26, 2005)
Passed away suddenly at Welland General Hospital at the age of 81. Stan leaves behind his loving wife, best friend and life-long travel companion, Dorothy (née DEARING,) many close Friends and colleagues.
After serving as a Flying Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force, Stan graduated from the University of Toronto School of Architecture in 1950. A Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and past president of the Ontario Association of Architects (1969), Stan practised architecture for over 54 years - an achievement that was recognized by the Ontario Association of Architects in 2004. Stan's career began in Toronto in the offices of noted architect John LANGE, before forming a private practice with Bob CALVERT. In 1957, he moved to Port Colborne to establish his own company. He was a founding president of the Niagara Chapter of the Ontario Association of Architects, founding member of the Port Colborne L.A.C.A.C., and was responsible for the design of many civic buildings throughout the Niagara region.
Throughout his life, Stan was an inspiration and mentor to many younger architects. Nowhere was this more evident than when he formed a partnership toward the end of his career with Robert MacKENZIE. Their firm subsequently joined Quartek, a multi- discipline design and engineering company, where Stan continued to practise until finally being allowed to retire at age 80.
With Dorothy, he shared a love of travel, music, and art that endeared them to Friends of all ages. In the glint of his eyes, one discovered his sense of humour and quiet intelligence. His profound commitment to citizenry led Stan to become a President of the Port Colborne Lion's Club, a member of the Police/ Citizen's Advisory Committee, and an active member of the community's First Lutheran Church.
Predeceased by his parents, Nellie and Harry (of Eastbourne, England), he will be greatly missed by his wife, Dorothy, and their Godchildren, Don RHYNAS (Jane MacDONALD) of London, Ann SMALE of Kitchener (Wayne MOORE), Jane SMALE (Anthony VANLEEUWEN), and Peter SMALE (Nancy BENITZ) of Toronto.
Friends will be received at the Port Colborne Chapel of the Davidson Funeral Homes 135 Clarence St. on Thursday and Friday 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral services will be held Saturday, April 30 at 2: 00 pm at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 688 Elm Street, Port Colborne, followed by burial at St. Paul's Lutheran Cemetery and a reception. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please make donations to Doctors without Borders, 2200 Yonge Street, Toronto, or to the Welland Humane Society.

COOPER, Patricia Lucy (née GILLGAN)
Aged 81, from complications related to diabetes, on May 5, 2005, at Stratford General Hospital. Pat was born July 29, 1923, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, raised in Scotland, and immigrated to Canada in her 30s. She served in the Women's Royal Naval Service in World War 2, married Don COOPER on June 1, 1946, and had one child, Pamela. In Canada, she lived in Toronto, Montréal, Calgary, Kitchener, and finally, Stratford. After life as a homemaker and mother, Pat rejoined the workforce, first with Eaton's, and then, more true to her passions, as a proofreader/editor with a legal publisher. Pat is survived and missed by her husband of nearly 59 years Don COOPER, her daughter Pamela DELANEY, her sister Betty IZZARD of Toronto, her brother Vic GILLGAN and his wife Brenda of Derbyshire, England, her five nieces including, Barbara IZZARD- THYNNE, her many nephews, including Danny IZZARD, and Stephen, Peter and Phillip Gillgan, her grand-dog, Fiona, and seven grand-cats. Friends Nadine RAYNER and Christine FORD have lost a mentor and woman they admired. She joins her beloved parents, Vic and Ida GILLGAN, and her "son" Dusty the cat; all three of these "spirits" spent her last month in the hospital with her, according to Pat herself. She is also reunited with Colleen CHAPLIN and Chris STOKES, who she has missed dearly. As per her request, there will be no funeral. Pat's body has been donated to the University of Toronto. She will be remembered as a classy lady, with a well-honed wit, and a deep love for animals and the English language; as Danny put it, "she was the coolest." We owe our deepest thanks to Dr. Laurel MOORE for the care, admiration and respect she gave to Pat. Donations in Pat's memory should be sent to Pet Trust, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1. That would tickle her whiskers no end.

EVANS, Victoria -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ May▼ 7, 2005, Page M4
Champion pie-maker Victoria EVANS sold the restaurant she ran with her husband more than 30 years ago, but her baking skills were remembered long after that.
Ms. EVANS's daughter, Dena NICOLOFF, recalls her mother working in the basement of Ted's Restaurant in East York, surrounded by mounds of flour as she made batches of pies, 60 at a time.
"My job when I would help her would be to take the fork and prick the pie crusts," she says, adding, "If you see me, you'll know that I also had lots of pie."
She wasn't the only fan of the pies, as several hundred people turned up at the funeral to remember her. It "was surprising because my mother's been ill for about 11 years and she's been out of the community," Ms. NICOLOFF says. "But a lot of people came because they all remember Vicky's pies."
Ms. EVANS died on April 19 at the age of 81, many years after having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her recipe for pogacha, a Macedonian version of sweet egg bread, was handed out at the funeral home.
Born Victoria TENEKEFF in Toronto in 1924, she was a first-generation Macedonian Canadian who met her immigrant husband, now 91, while both were working at Eaton's. He was employed under the name Ted EVANS because he had found it too hard to find a job with the name Metody Gelentsoff IVANOFF.
The couple married in 1944 and opened the restaurant at Pape and O'Connor four years later, giving Ms. EVANS the chance to hone the baking skills she had learned from an uncle.
She won acclaim by snagging an honourable mention at a restaurant contest and by picking up awards from Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Robin Hood Bake Festival at Harbourfront.
"She loved her desserts," Ms. NICOLOFF says. "Even in the nursing home, if you couldn't feed her anything, she always liked ice cream or some kind of sweet."

BURK/BURKE, Mike -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ May▲▼ 14, 2005, Page M6
The lesson of Mike BURK/BURKE's life seems to be that there's room in the modern world for a full-time beekeeper -- as long as his partner has a regular paycheque and benefits. Or maybe it's that you catch more Friends with honey.
Mr. BURK/BURKE died on April 21 from bone cancer, and his wife, Ann, says the funeral was packed and condolences continue to pour in from across the city for the man known as the beekeeper in the Beaches.
The couple were both born in Cornwall, England, 54 years ago. By the time they emigrated to Canada four decades later, full-time beekeeping was part of the dream Mr. BURK/BURKE brought with him.
"We used to keep bees in the city when we lived in England, but it's not permissible here," Ms. BURK/BURKE says from their Beaches residence, known in the neighbourhood as the honey house.
"He kept the bees on farms in the country."
The liquid gold that flowed to that house came from hives stored on about a dozen properties north of the city, where millions of bees produced hundreds of pounds of honey.
Ms. BURK/BURKE acknowledges that her teaching salary was necessary to support his career choice -- apparently a common enough situation in the beekeeping world -- but says that she didn't begrudge his passion.
"He was happy and content with his work and that makes for a good marriage," she says.
Besides, she had come to see the appeal of a person living what she calls "one of the few heroic occupations for men left."
"It sounds sort of idyllic, but it's really heavy, heavy work," she says. "You have to work hard for that honey.
"You still get stung. You toughen up, but it still hurts."

Driver killed at GO train crossing
By Oliver MOORE, Tuesday,▼ May▲▼ 17, 2005, Page A11
A 25-year-old Thornhill man was killed yesterday morning after driving his car under the barrier at a level crossing north of the city and stopping in the path of an onrushing GO train.
Police are investigating whether Levi BIALO was blinded by sun as he drove onto the tracks in Richmond Hill, a spot that was marked by drop-down barriers, flashing lights and a bell.
York Regional Police Sergeant Dave MITCHELL said yesterday that the car was travelling at roughly the speed limit, 50 kilometres an hour, when it hit the barrier. The barrier rode up and over the car. Mr. BIALO then hit the brakes and was killed by a southbound train loaded with commuters.
"It looks like, right now, that he didn't see the control arms," Sgt. MITCHELL said.
Police believe that Mr. BIALO, a rabbi and youth leader at Chabad Lubavitch in Markham, stopped his car because he was surprised by his contact with the control arm.
What they can't explain at this point is why he failed to heed the blaring horn as the train approached. Instead he halted with his Acura Legend positioned in such a way that the train slammed directly into the driver's side of the vehicle.
The train had just left the Langstaff station, second most northerly on that line, and was headed southbound to Union Station. It collided with Mr. BIALO's car in Markham at the spot where the tracks cross Green Lane, just east of Bayview.
The wrecked vehicle was pushed several hundred metres down the track and Mr. BIALO was declared dead at the scene. He leaves his pregnant wife and their two-year-old son.
The camera mounted on the train showed no other vehicles at the level crossing, Sgt. MITCHELL said. Police, who are trying to determine the effects of the sun on Mr. BIALO, would like to speak to any other drivers who were on that stretch of road around 7 a.m. yesterday.
No one on the train was injured, though the crew was shaken up by what they had witnessed. The stranded passengers were taken to Toronto by bus, and train service on the Richmond Hill line was reopened in time for the commute home.

Michelle McKAY -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ May▲▼ 21, 2005, Page M6
Seventeen is a young age to be a bride, but Michelle McKAY wanted to get married before cancer destroyed her brain. Her boyfriend, Kevin LEE, who was 19 at the time, proposed to her last fall when it became clear that her health was deteriorating fast.
"In October, they told me that the tumour was growing quickly and they only gave her a few months," says Ms. McKAY's mother, Sheila PAUL. " That's when Kevin said he wanted to marry her and I put together a wedding in only four weeks."
Mr. LEE was confident that they would have been married some day, but he says the schedule was taken over by his girlfriend's illness. He told his prospective in-laws the same thing when they questioned whether he was doing it just to make his girlfriend feel better.
"I would have done it anyway," said Mr. LEE, a University of Waterloo student. "I wanted to spend my life with Michelle. It wasn't just something I said."
Ms. McKAY was first diagnosed on Valentine's Day of 2003. Later that year, she met Mr. LEE at a Halloween party.
Exactly a year after her diagnosis, she woke up at home screaming. Doctors found that the disease had worsened and prescribed more invasive treatment. That fall, less than 12 months after they met, Ms. McKAY and Mr. LEE were married in their hometown of Milton. They chose a humanist ceremony -- which has no legal standing -- because a traditional marriage would have meant that Ms. McKAY would lose health benefits under her mother's medical insurance.
The new couple were hoping to mark this year's Valentine's Day by spending the weekend alone, but Ms. LEE became violently ill again and was forced back to hospital. She died in Mr. LEE's arms two weeks later, on February 27. She was 18.

MICHELIN, Terry -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ May▲ 28, 2005, Page M6
For a generation, Terry MICHELIN ran an old-school butcher shop in St. James Town. He had spent his life in the industry and his son says he fought every modernizing idea.
"I was always wanting to change things, but he was the routine guy," Mark MICHELIN says about his dad. "Then, once we'd make the change and it worked, it was all his idea."
The small-town type of service remained strong enough that more than half of the people at Mr. MICHELIN's funeral were customers. Others knew him as a mainstay of the community.
"One lady came to the funeral and she said, 'I've never shopped in your store and I never really knew the man,' " Mark, 37, says. But she came all the same because of a brief meeting with the elder Mr. MICHELIN at one of the annual Cabbagetown festivals.
Terry MICHELIN was born in northern Italy in 1927 and came to Canada when he was 9. Settling in Timmins with his family, he eventually got a job at a Dominion grocery store, where he met his wife, Doris.
The couple made their way to Toronto and in 1971 opened a tiny butcher shop on Parliament, St. Jamestown Steak and Chops. It expanded over the years to include a fish counter and then grocery items.
Rarely giving himself time off and taking every chance to teach his sons the meat trade, Mr. MICHELIN grew into old age behind the counter of his shop. "Even when he was sick -- he had cancer he would still come in. He just couldn't stay away," Mark says. "He stuck it out until after Christmas, but his health wasn't going well."
Mr. MICHELIN died on April 26 at the age of 78. His son now runs the shop.

LONEY, Audrey Grace -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ June▼ 4, 2005, Page M4
Although Alzheimer's disease ravaged Audrey Grace LONEY's short-term memory in the last months of her life, she could still tell wonderfully vivid stories of years gone past.
She wouldn't remember day-to-day visits in her nursing home, close friend Jan TREBILCOCK says, but could talk at length about exotic trips overseas and the time she rode side-saddle with Lady Eaton, the philanthropist and department store heiress. A decade ago, she went on a solo trip to China, determined to see the Yangtze River before the Three Gorges Dam project ruined it.
"If only I'd taped her stories," Ms. TREBILCOCK laments.
Ms. LONEY, who died this spring at the age of 79, had outlived her husband, George, and, with no living relatives, came to be like a part of Ms. TREBILCOCK's family.
She had studied art in Toronto in her younger years and subsequently won a scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute's School of Art and Design in New York. Around the same time, in the mid-fifties, she and her husband got married and lived for a time on Wellesley Street in Toronto. They later moved to Elora and started an equestrian centre there.
But Ms. LONEY had two mastectomies and, while she was recovering from the second, her favourite horse, an aging, blind animal named Fawn, became ill.
"They put it down while she was in the hospital and it broke her heart," Ms. TREBILCOCK says.
Other deaths followed -- first her mother's and then her husband's. She soon left the Elora property and opened a fine-art gallery in the town of Durham, about two hours northwest of Toronto. That was where she met Ms. TREBILCOCK, an artist.
Ms. LONEY ran the Jade Tree Gallery until her faculties faded in the late nineties. She died on April 19.

CORCORAN, Thomas -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ June▲▼ 11, 2005, Page M6
Thomas (Tommie) CORCORAN was such a mainstay on the party circuit back in the day that Friends would reschedule their events if he couldn't make it.
It was an era when there were fewer good pubs, his niece says, and house parties were more common. Mr. CORCORAN, with his many connections in the local Irish-Canadian community, became a necessary fixture at these long-ago gatherings.
Years later, he found his home away from home at the Galway Arms, an Irish pub in Etobicoke. It was there that supporters of the Gaelic Athletic Association gathered to watch satellite broadcasts of Irish soccer and opened their arms to visiting athletes.
Mr. CORCORAN's niece and goddaughter, Mary HENNESSY, fondly remembers her recently deceased uncle as a fun-loving guy who could talk to anyone. But, she added, he often seemed unwilling to be serious.
"I used to say to him, 'Could you at least act like a 50-year-old man if you can't act your own age'? says Mary HENNESSY, herself "I'd say, 'Could you at least act my age?' "
Mr. CORCORAN was born in Ireland and came to Canada at 25. He settled in the west end and worked a series of jobs before heart problems forced early retirement. Although also diagnosed with leukemia, he carried on with a full schedule that included driving other seniors to shopping or appointments. He never married, but had many female Friends, his niece says.
His zest for life carried through until he died abruptly on May 30 at the age of 76.
"It was so shocking when he died," Ms. HENNESSY says. "We always thought he had nine lives."

GRAY/GREY, Alice -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ June▲▼ 18, 2005, Page M4
Alice GRAY/GREY continued to celebrate the milestones of her marriage even after her husband died in 2000. "On their anniversary, I would take her over to Mount Pleasant cemetery for a picnic, with pâté and wine -- no, sherry -- and they could be together," says daughter Gretchen DAY.
Ms. GRAY/GREY and her husband, Aubrey, had a relationship progressive beyond its era. They split domestic duties and at no time did he see himself as the boss of the household, son Paul GRAY/GREY says. It was "a 50-50 marriage."
The couple met while attending Jarvis Collegiate Institute and, after drifting apart for several years, reconnected and married immediately before he shipped out to war in 1942.
On paper, they were not well suited: He was the sixth child of an Anglican family from Rosedale, and she was a Methodist proud of her ancestors' role in the abortive rebellion led by William Lyon Mackenzie KING.
But their differences didn't stop a strong marriage from developing, the children say. Both parents were teachers -- Ms. GRAY/GREY becoming the first female history department head in Toronto -- and both their children ultimately followed in their footsteps.
They describe their mother as being full of vitality. She was a very devoted Torontonian despite having moved to Etobicoke back when it was still a rural property, living near where Cloverdale Mall is now.
Ms. GRAY/GREY had a stubborn streak that showed in her determination to avoid being put in a home. She never forgave her doctor for insisting that she stop driving. Although she was increasingly frail, her mind remained sharp to the end and she set the goal of reaching her 90th birthday on May 11.
"We smuggled in gin and tonic and I bought her a new outfit and we brought her champagne," Ms. DAY says. "We rolled her up in a blanket and got her outside so she could have a cigarette."
She died of unknown causes on May 25.

KERR, Ben -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ June▲ 25, 2005, Page M5
A Toronto busking icon, who sang She's Better Than Viagra (Belinda Stronach Is), has died after years of crooning at the corner of Yonge and Bloor Streets.
Ben KERR, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in every municipal election since 1985, was believed to be in his 70s. He died last week after a period of declining health.
His constitution had to be tough to withstand hours of exposure on his favourite street corner. His body also had to withstand his cayenne-pepper cocktail. The self-proclaimed "King of Cayenne" was convinced it helped his health and he dosed himself liberally with a drink of carrot juice, herbs and the fiery orange-red powdered pepper. He said cayenne pepper had saved him when he had "one foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel."
Readers of NOW Magazine repeatedly voted him the city's best busker, and a young bagpiper playing this week on Mr. KERR's old turf said he had big shoes to fill. "It's quite a responsibility," said Devon YUKE.

SALTER, Stuart -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ July▼ 2, 2005, Page M4
Jo-Anne SALTER hasn't gone scuba diving since her husband and "navigator" became too ill to go underwater with her.
Stuart and Jo-Anne took up diving shortly before their marriage 30 years ago and made about 70 trips to the Caribbean. It was only Mr. SALTER's worsening emphysema that stopped them indulging in their passion.
"He couldn't dive any more and I wasn't about to dive without my buddy," Ms. SALTER said this week. "He was my navigator and he always brought me back."
Mr. SALTER, 62 when he died in late May, was a chartered accountant. Despite being semi-retired, he couldn't bear to stop working entirely and went in every day.
He was a very private person, his wife said, but was praised at his memorial for being a mentor, someone his Friends and colleagues could count on.
A smoker since the age of 12, Mr. SALTER's declining health stopped his diving seven years ago and eventually restricted his ability to work with orchids, his other great hobby.
"I started him on the orchids. We started gardening when we moved into this house," said Ms. SALTER, describing the small East York bungalow where they took up residence in 1977.
"Scuba diving is pleasure where you're physically active. Orchids are mental, seeing things grow. It's also a passion."
As Mr. SALTER's condition declined, he became more managerial. "He advised me and I did all the [planting]," his wife said.
Ms. SALTER, who is not herself a smoker, "mourned with him" as his life slipped away. He died May 27 and his memorial was last Saturday.
Mr. SALTER is survived by his brother George.

COMPEAU, W. Michael -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ July▲▼ 9, 2005, Page M4
W. Michael COMPEAU learned to appreciate classical music as a young teen, snatching time to hear a local pianist before going to his after-school job in Gananoque, Ontario
The love affair with music lasted his whole life, partner Richard JUNS said, and helped him find prominent jobs even when his outsized personality got in the way.
Mr. JUNS, who had moved in with Mr. COMPEAU 18 years ago just two weeks after they met and compared Billie Holiday collections, said this week that his partner had once been a rabble-rouser who had long enjoyed a semi-itinerant lifestyle.
After years of hanging out in bohemian Yorkville, spending all his earnings on records and European travel, he got a job at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the late 1970s. Mr. JUNS said his partner was fired after only a few years, the story being that he was too much for the public broadcaster to handle.
"One of Michael's things is he does everything 100 per cent," like alcohol, Mr. JUNS said. "And he's a lot to handle when he's doing that," said the fortysomething engineer on long-term disability. "He just did it one too many times."
But even though Mr. COMPEAU sank into "a period of poverty," his vast knowledge of music remained well known and he got a job with CFMX, which was then a small rural station with a signal too weak to reach Toronto.
He became program director of the growing classical channel and then, when his health declined, quit his full-time job to become a sort of consultant to the station, officially called program director emeritus.
He died this spring of an infection related to lung cancer, at the age of 65, after collapsing in his Carlton Street home.

Police arrest man in Etobicoke stabbing
By Oliver MOORE, Friday,▲▼ July▲▼ 15, 2005, Page A9
Police have made an arrest in the four-month-old stabbing death of a young man on a residential street in Etobicoke.
Officers responding to the original call in March found a man suffering what they called "obvious signs of trauma" at a townhouse complex near the Gardiner Expressway west of the Humber River. The lifeless body was identified as 27-year-old Alexander CHRISTOFF. Police said yesterday they had arrested another man, a few years older than Mr. CHRISTOFF, and charged him with second-degree murder.
The two men apparently knew one another, police said.

SALVERSON, George -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ July▲▼ 16, 2005, Page M6
Working at a Flin Flon radio station, Manitoban George SALVERSON announced the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, one incident from a lifetime in broadcasting and the arts.
"It's certainly a story he talked about," said Mr. SALVERSON's daughter, Julie, a drama professor at Queen's University. "He was actually quite proud to be a part of it, even if he'd say it was just another day at work."
She said he got his first radio job because his mother, Laura Goodman SALVERSON, was an accomplished writer, and such proximity to talent put him ahead of other applicants.
He moved to Toronto in the late 1940s because, a long-time friend said, that was the place to go. Murray WESTGATE, who knew Mr. SALVERSON for decades, said he fell in with a group of people from back home. By then, he had already written his first radio scripts.
"He was one of the Winnipeg crowd, and we westerners stuck together," Mr. WESTGATE said.
Mr. WESTGATE, who worked as an actor and did some advertising work, said he had played the lead in several "very good" scripts Mr. SALVERSON had written.
Mr. SALVERSON dreamed up and wrote dozens of series while working for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He also created television plays and a documentary on pollution that resulted in a libel suit by U.S. companies claiming they were not fouling the air.
He was actually quite shy, his daughter said, but because of his job he learned to be a good listener and could converse with anyone.
Predeceased by his wife, Sandra SCOTT, Mr. SALVERSON spent his last years living at the Performing Arts Lodge in Toronto. He passed away in April. He leaves his daughter and his son, Scott, a blacksmith in the Peterborough area.

James DOOHAN, Soldier And Actor: 1920-2005
He was an 'accidental actor' who got his start when he stumbled into a radio station in London, Ontario He found fame as Scotty on Star Trek, but not before he had already experienced real-life heroics on D-Day
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, July 23, 2005, Page S9
'Och, Cap'n, Scotty cannae work for ye any more."
Star Trek's chief engineer, Lt.-Cmdr. Montgomery Scott, was irascible, excitable and prone to delivering dire warnings in a Scots burr. As portrayed by Canadian James DOOHAN, Scotty became a favourite of the cult television program's legions of fans.
Many assumed the actor shared traits with his character, but out of his red uniform, Mr. DOOHAN was a serious actor with a substantial list of credits. As a young man, he led soldiers as part of the D-Day invasion in an attack which he later described as "giving Hitler the finger."
Mr. DOOHAN's chief engineer character cursed dilithium crystals and coaxed power from overstressed warp-drive engines on the Starship Enterprise. The order to be beamed aboard was directed at Mr. DOOHAN; " Beam me up, Scotty" became a cultural catchphrase, as well as the punchline to innumerable jokes. Mr. DOOHAN became so associated with the command that he used it as the title of his autobiography.
Yet, the program's dedicated fans -- their numbers legion and their allegiance bordering on the fanatical -- insist no character ever uttered the phrase. "Beam me up, Scotty" is to Star Trek what "Play it again, Sam" is to Casablanca.
After the original series ended following a three-year run, Mr. DOOHAN was upset at being typecast as the irascible engineer with the unforgettable burr. After all, he had earlier performed Shakespeare under the direction of Mavor Moore and won notice for his performances in dramas telecast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. He eventually made peace with the character, whom he portrayed in subsequent feature films. He also became a frequent and well-received guest at Star Trek conventions.
A first-class mimic, Mr. DOOHAN tested eight accents when auditioning for the role. "Well, if you want an engineer," he told Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, "it had better be a Scotsman." Mr. DOOHAN settled on a dialect he described as an Aberdeen brogue.
Scotty's accent, it has been noted by one newspaper, fooled no one north of Berwick-upon-Tweed, let alone a Scotsman. Yet the near-comic urgency of his delivery compelled many fans into worshipful imitation. The actor named the character after his maternal grandfather, James MONTGOMERY, a sea captain.
In many ways, Mr. DOOHAN imbued the chief engineer with what could be described as Canadian qualities. His practical warnings ("In four hours, the ship blows up") and excitable protestations ("Ah canna change the laws of physics") always gave way to a resourceful fortitude in completing a task, however dangerous or improbable.
The actor may have drawn on his own experiences as a veteran of the Second World War. He was wounded during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in an incident he described as "giving Hitler the finger."
Those who found his accent unconvincing were not surprised to learn he traced his Scottish roots to an ancestor who lived three centuries ago. He was Irish by heritage and Canadian by birth. James Montgomery DOOHAN, conceived in Belfast, was born in Vancouver on March 3, 1920. His parents and three older siblings had just emigrated to Canada, arriving in Halifax on New Year's Day.
In his 1996 autobiography, Mr. DOOHAN describes his father as a dentist, pharmacist, veterinarian and drunkard. His memories were of a household made unhappy by his father's alcohol-fuelled rages. The family moved to Sarnia, Ontario, when the boy was 6. Two years later, while serving as an altar boy at a Catholic mass, Jimmy suddenly felt delirious and was rushed from church. He was diagnosed with diphtheria.
Around home, he was known to imitate the voices he heard on the radio or at the cinema. At 16, he played the title role in a school production of Robin Hood at Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School.
Eager to leave home, he enlisted as a gunner in the Royal Canadian Artillery immediately after Canada declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939. After learning Morse code and earning a commission as an officer, Mr. DOOHAN spent two frustrating years in training in England. He served as a general's aide-de-camp during the planning for the Dieppe raid.
On June 6, 1944, Mr. DOOHAN commanded 120 men of D Company of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. In the early morning of D-Day, he joined the landings on Juno Beach. While he saw a captain go insane and another man suffer a grievous stomach wound, Mr. DOOHAN managed to lead his men to the seaside village of Graye-sur-Mer without casualty.
Soon, however, they came under fire from a machine-gun lodged in a church tower. Mr. DOOHAN, a command post officer by rank, borrowed a rifle. His first shot missed, but each of the next two shots felled a German soldier and the nest went silent. He never learned whether he had killed or wounded the enemy.
Shortly before midnight, Mr. DOOHAN was walking to his command post when a "machine-gun opened up on us. It hit me and spun me around. Staggering, I fell down into the shell hole," he wrote in his autobiography. "Then I looked at my right hand and saw the blood covering it. I could see the holes in my middle finger."
He walked to a regimental aid post where it was discovered four bullets had also imbedded in his left leg. In his shock at the three shots that smashed his right hand, Mr. DOOHAN hadn't even noticed the other wounds.
He examined the rest of his uniform, discovering a bullet hole in his shirt. He reached his left hand to his right breast pocket. "I pulled out the sterling silver cigarette case that my brother Bill had given me when I was his best man. And there I discovered a dent in it.
"The bullet had come in at an angle, ricocheted off the cigarette case, and bounced away. Four inches from my heart."
The finger was amputated. Years later, Star Trek fans would detail scenes in which the absence of the digit is noticeable. For his part, Mr. DOOHAN was always self-conscious about the loss. He often subtly camouflaged his right hand.
After six years in uniform, he was left with few plans for the future at the end of war. He became an actor by accident. Annoyed by poor performances in a radio drama, Mr. DOOHAN went to radio station CFPL in London, Ontario, to record himself reading from Shakespeare and other works. He disliked what he heard, but an enthusiastic sound engineer convinced him he was a natural. By coincidence, a brochure for a Toronto drama school had arrived at the station not an hour earlier. The novice signed up, and soon won a scholarship to study at the Neighbourhood Playhouse School of the Theater in Manhattan.
Mr. DOOHAN was taught by Sanford Meisner, whose eponymous technique of self-investigation was heavily influenced by the great Russian director Constantine Stanislavsky. Others attending the school in those years included Lee Marvin and Leslie Nielsen, a fellow Canadian who became a close friend.
A versatile performer, Mr. DOOHAN did not want for work. From 1950 to 1958, he appeared in, by his count, 450 live television broadcasts and 4,000 radio shows, shuttling from New York to Toronto. He was called Canada's busiest actor. He starred in Flight into Danger, an hour-long television drama aired on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's General Motors Theatre in 1956. Mr. DOOHAN portrayed a traumatized fighter pilot who takes over the controls of a commercial airliner after both pilots are incapacitated by food poisoning. The script was the first written by Arthur Hailey, a British émigré who settled in Canada after the war and went on to write such blockbusters as Airport and Hotel.
A role as an agent on the television series Treasury Men in Action evaporated without explanation soon after director David Pressman was identified as a Communist. Only later did Mr. DOOHAN learn he had lost the gig to an actor who secretly accused him of being a Red.
In 1963, Mr. DOOHAN appeared as a defence attorney in his first feature film, The Wheeler Dealers, a romantic comedy starring James Garner and Lee Remick, directed by Edmonton-born Arthur Hiller. Meanwhile, his list of television credits reads like an anthology of cult hits. He appeared in episodes of Bewitched, Ben Casey, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
The three-year run of the original Star Trek series cemented the actor's image in the public mind as a blustery but dependable miracle worker in a red uniform. He was paid just $850 U.S. per episode in the inaugural season.
A cast so familiar now -- with William SHATNER, another Canadian, starring as Capt. James T. Kirk; Leonard Nimoy as the logical Mr. Spock, a pointy-eared Vulcan; and DeForest Kelley as the crusty Dr. Leonard H. (Bones) McCoy -- won only a modest audience at first. The series lasted just three seasons, two years short of the Enterprise's promised "five-year mission to explore strange new worlds."
The low-budget series allowed for strong characterizations, which in part explains Star Trek's success in syndication. The series became a phenomenon, sparking an industry of collectables and conventions. Fans memorized large chunks of dialogue. Among the engineer's most repeated quotes: "The best diplomat that I know is a fully loaded phaser bank."
Mr. DOOHAN often failed to mask his antipathy for the star's hammy acting. The kindest praise he offers for Mr. SHATNER in his autobiography is a grudging acknowledgment that one episode's performance was "pretty okay."
The Scotty character was not often the focus of plot twists, although in an episode titled The Changeling, Bones leans over the engineer's body to deliver the shocking line, "He's dead, Jim."
Happily, the engineer is revived before hour's end.
In The Trouble with Tribbles, perhaps the best-loved of all episodes, Scotty disobeys captain's orders and precipitates a bar brawl with Klingons. The episode concludes on a pun ad-libbed by Mr. DOOHAN, after he dispatches a growing horde of furry creatures to a Klingon ship. "I transported the whole kit 'n' caboodle into their engine room," he tells the captain, "where they'll be no tribble at all."
Cancellation left Mr. DOOHAN unemployed and, he feared, unemployable. He complained of being typecast to his dentist, who said, "Jimmy, you're going to be Scotty long after you're dead. If I were you, I'd go with the flow."
He did so, reprising his role as Scotty in seven films. In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the engineer attempts to give voice commands to a 20th-century computer, including speaking into a mouse. Audiences roared with laughter.
After surviving a massive heart attack in 1989, Mr. DOOHAN seemed ever more frail. He deferred questions about the rumoured deterioration of his health by quipping: "If I had Alzheimer's I think I'd remember."
What would be his final public appearance came last August at a five-day event in Los Angeles billed as "Beam me up, Scotty one last time." He posed in his wheelchair in front of his star along the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
James DOOHAN was born on March 3, 1920, in Vancouver. He died on Wednesday at home in Redmond, Washington., a lakeside suburb 30 kilometres east of Seattle. Alzheimer's disease was one of many afflictions he suffered, including diabetes, lung fibrosis and Parkinson's. He was 85. He leaves his wife, Wende BRAUNBERGER, and their three children, Eric, Thomas and five-year-old Sarah. He also leaves four adult children -- Larkin, Deirdre and twins Montgomery and Christopher -- from his 15-year marriage to Janet YOUNG, which ended in divorce in 1964. A marriage to Anita YAGEL in 1970 ended in divorce two years later. Space Services Inc., a Houston-based company, will send his ashes into space, as he requested.
Toronto Trekkies will gather tonight at the Auld Spot Pub, 347 Danforth Ave., where fans can sign a condolence book to be presented later to the family.
2005-0-7-23 DAWSON, Nora -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ July▲▼ 23, 2005, Page M4
Wielding a chainsaw into her mid-80s and riding her bicycle around Toronto a few years after that, Nora Claire Elizabeth DAWSON was not one to sit still.
Relatives describe a woman who took hiking trips to the Alps, bought a computer at 85 so she could trade e-mail messages with a grand-nephew in Panama and insisted that her relatives have certain tools on hand, for when she came over.
"When she came to visit us, she'd get the pruning shears and work in the garden," said Dan Walker DAWSON, a nephew who lives in London, Ontario
Her niece, Georgie Dawson DOCKER, tells a similar story. "She would arrive here, aged 85 and up, with her chainsaw and loppers, and she'd be up on the ladder pruning whether you liked it or not," said Ms. DOCKER, who now lives in Dunnville, Ontario
She was physically vigorous and capable, her relatives say, but she was also a well-educated and intellectually active woman. She did The Globe and Mail's cryptic crossword every day until she was 90.
Ms. DAWSON graduated from the University of Western Ontario, in her hometown of London, at only 17 and went on to take a master's degree at Laval University. But when she submitted her work, they gave her a doctorate instead.
As a young woman she moved to Toronto to teach French. She lived in North Toronto and then North York as she moved through a succession of schools including Havergal College and East York Collegiate Institute. She was head of languages at King and Wexford Collegiate Institutes. She was also closely involved in the Women's Musical Club of Toronto, though she didn't play an instrument herself.
Ms. DAWSON did not marry. She died early last month at 92. She leaves two nephews, a niece, and six grand-nephews and grand-nieces.

NALLANAYAGAM, Bertha -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ July▲ 30, 2005, Page M4
She caught the eye of Paul NALLANAYAGAM and ruined his family's plans for an arranged marriage. Leaving the other prospective brides in her wake, she helped build a 51-year marriage.
Bertha Swarnam NALLANAYAGAM knew how to blaze an independent-minded trail. Before she died of cancer on July 15, after also suffering from heart disease and diabetes, she specified that her body be used for medical research. It is, her eldest daughter said, something rarely done in Canada's Sri Lankan community.
"She felt that whatever she could do to help, she would do," said Nimmi PITT, the oldest of three daughters the couple brought from Colombo when they emigrated in 1972.
They came to Canada, Ms. PITT said, because ethnic tensions were rising in Sri Lanka and because her parents, both of whom were university graduates, wanted to give their daughters the best possible education prospects.
The couple were forced to take less prominent jobs than they'd had in Sri Lanka -- she had been a private-school teacher and he a senior administrator -- but they persevered, working increasingly suitable jobs and making sure their children were educated.
The family found North York a pretty Waspy place when they arrived curry powder was impossible to find and there were few other Sri Lankans for the daughters to date.
In part because of this lack, their parents eventually accepted the idea of the girls marrying outside their culture, which all three ultimately did.
Ms. NALLANAYAGAM eventually returned to teaching, helping other emigrés learn English. She was proud of the students, her daughter said, and especially pleased with one who went on to get his masters degree.
The couple moved to a co-op in the Bloor and Landsdowne area as they aged, and it was there that Ms. NALLANAYAGAM spent her last years. At home until almost the end, she was hospitalized for three days before dying peacefully. She was 79.

O'BYRNE, Gerard -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ August▲▼ 6, 2005, Page M4
Doctors who were worried about his family's history of bone disease warned Gerard O'BYRNE not to have children. He listened to them, aware that his grandmother, mother and cousin had all become disabled later in life.
Instead, Mr. O'BYRNE lived a bachelor life, maintaining a close relationship with his unmarried sister for decades.
They were the last of the family, and 80-year-old Rita now admits that, with her brother gone, she is "very lonely."
"He was my hero on the white horse," she said.
Although Ms. O'BYRNE was too young to remember, she has been told many times the story of how her nine-year-old brother was half-cut as she entered the world. "I was born at home, Christmas Eve," she said. "And my brother and his dog Dinty got into momma's Christmas wine."
The two children enjoyed a childhood playing in High Park and coming home for roast beef dinners cooked by their mom, who didn't let a wheelchair stop her from being a mother.
The Depression forced Mr. O'BYRNE to quit university and go to work.
He went back to school in his late 20s to become a teacher of math and science, working at Malvern Collegiate Institute and in Kitchener, Ontario
Mr. O'BYRNE took a slightly early retirement in the late 1980s to help support his sister through cancer. They lived at their home north of the Beaches until he had a fall in mid-June. He died days short of his 91st birthday.
"We've always looked after each other," Ms. O'BYRNE said. "When my mom died, she said on her deathbed, 'Take care of Rita.' And he did."

Caff CAFFERATA -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ August▲▼ 13, 2005, Page M6
'Caff" CAFFERATA moved his family to Toronto just in time to feel the lash of Hurricane Hazel.
The British army officer had come to Canada in the early 1950s, taking up residence in a rental on Brunswick Avenue until his family could join him.
"You know where we ended up? On Centre Island," his son, Michael, remembers. "And you know what happened in 1954? Hurricane Hazel."
Their two-storey home was swamped, but not destroyed and the family joined the other island residents as they boated around their flooded community.
Not long after, they pulled up stakes for a deserted part of Rexdale, near Kipling Avenue.
Mr. CAFFERATA said his father commanded an artillery brigade in the Second World War and then worked as an administrator in postwar Berlin.
In Canada, he worked at Sears for 27 years in what his son described as a precursor to an Information Technology position.
"He worked with the very first computers," Mr. CAFFERATA said. "I remember him bringing home circuit boards to fix."
At 65, he retired and took up a fourth career as a disaster consultant, rescuing data from companies that had suffered natural disasters. At 75, when his son said "he felt that he had reached middle age," he retired for good.
Devoting himself to the bridge table, the golf links and the fishing rod, he lived to the age of 90.
He died on July 31 of liver cancer. His wife passed away Thursday.

Samuel GRANGE, Jurist (1920-2005)
Best known for heading the royal commission into the deaths of 24 babies at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, he declined to lay blame and stoically endured any criticism
By Oliver MOORE, Tuesday,▲ August▲ 30, 2005, Page S11
After falling quite by chance into the legal profession, Samuel GRANGE was at the centre of a series of key decisions and headed the controversial inquiry which determined that babies had been murdered at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.
"He played an enormous role... he should be remembered because of his contribution," said Horace KREVER, another retired judge who oversaw a commission, in his case a probe of the tainted-blood scandal. "He was everything a judge should be: learned, wise, compassionate, patient and extraordinarily literate."
Judge GRANGE was on the bench at the Ontario Court of Appeal when it ruled the rape-shield law constitutional and when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation miniseries The Valour and the Horror was ruled not to have libelled Canadian airmen. He also backed the decision by that court which allowed the custodial parent in a divorced couple to move the child far away from the former spouse.
But Judge GRANGE was most prominently in the public eye when he headed the royal commission into the deaths at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children. The probe was called after a series of deaths rocked the hospital, a leading pediatrics institution. From the summer of 1980 to the spring of 1981, the death toll on the hospital's cardiac ward was 625 per cent higher than the previous three nine-month periods.
After 191 days of testimony over three years, Judge GRANGE found that eight babies had been killed by drug overdoses and another 15 had died in suspicious circumstances. He issued his 224-page report in the first few days of 1985. He concluded that the babies had died because of overdoses of digoxin, a heart drug that many should not have been given. The babies' bodies, nine of which were exhumed for the investigation, revealed abnormally high digoxin levels.
Controversially, although Judge GRANGE recommended compensation to Susan NELLES, a nurse charged with several of the murders, he did not assign blame to anyone. He faulted no one and offered no solution to the mystery of who killed the babies.
The report angered parents of some of the babies and brought a wave of public criticism. Ms. NELLES had been released after a preliminary hearing because of lack of evidence and it appeared no one would be held responsible.
But according to his son Dougall, Judge GRANGE had long inured himself from criticism and maintained a healthy distaste for the media, in spite of initially considering a career in journalism. Later, though, he came publicly to the defence of inquiries at a time when they were being criticized as unwieldy and overly time-consuming.
"You can't run an inquiry without letting everybody have his say," he said in the mid-1990s. "You don't know what a person's going to say until he says it -- even though sometimes he says it and you're sorry you ever let him speak."
His father recognized the importance of many of the cases he heard and was keenly aware of the lasting impact of his decisions, said Dougall, a 46-year-old paralegal in Toronto. "Sometimes he didn't come to these decisions easily, he really worked, he was conscientious and would think very, very carefully about what he was doing. Regularly he would be up at three or four in the morning, going over the materials and trying to come up with a solution."
Judge GRANGE felt strongly that the practice of law had fallen into public disrepute and believed that one way to regain the people's trust would be to introduce television cameras into some courtrooms. "The image of justice is poor, I don't think we deserve that image," he said in the mid-1980s.
But he felt no compulsion to play to the public gallery. "He was of the view that you write your judgments, you write your reports, and you let them speak for themselves," said the younger Mr. GRANGE.
Many of the decisions are still with us, their importance being felt still today. The intrusive questioning of rape complainants is a thing of the past in part because of the decision written by Judge GRANGE. In the case of two adults accused of assaulting a 15-year-old girl in the basement of a school, the question of the girl's previous behaviour with men came up. But Judge GRANGE, then sitting on the Ontario Court of Appeal, made it clear that times had changed.
"Sexual reputation is no more an indicator of credibility in a woman then it is in a man," he wrote for the majority in the late summer of 1987. "It should no longer be recognized as relevant to the issue."
Two years earlier he backed another controversial Court of Appeal decision, this one written by then Madam Justice Rosalie ABELLA. Hearing the case of a divorced couple, one of whom wanted to move away with the couple's child, the three judges unanimously agreed that she could.
"The custodial parent's best interests are inextricably tied to those of the child," wrote Judge ABELLA, supported by Judge GRANGE and backed by then Mr. Justice Jean LABROSSE. In effect, they ruled that what is good for the custodial parent should be presumed to be good for the child.
Retired judge KREVER called him "an exemplary member of the profession" and said he was something approaching a poet laureate at the Court of Appeal.
"There are a lot of cases in which he wrote excellent decisions which will stand the test of time," said Judge KREVER, 76.
Dougall GRANGE said that, as a child of two journalists, his father was headed for that career when the war diverted him to Europe. Awarded the Croix de Guerre for his dangerous work as a forward artillery observer, he seems also to have caught the eye of several peers. Military law at the time allowed a serviceman accused of a crime to choose the officer he wanted to represent him. Mr. GRANGE, then a captain, had no legal training or experience but was chosen several times.
In one of the more serious cases, he defended an American who had lied his way into the war before his country became involved. When the United States entered the war he quit his unit with the intention of joining the allied U.S. forces. Caught and tried for desertion, he could have been shot. Then-Captain GRANGE successfully argued his case and the man was released, Dougall GRANGE said.
"He came back here afterwards and thought 'okay, why don't I try this. He loved the practice and he liked the people... it was his life'."
Samuel GRANGE was born on March 19, 1920, in London, Ontario He died on August 26, 2005, at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto after suffering a series of strokes. He was 85. He was predeceased in 2003 by his wife Patricia. He is survived by his son Dougall and daughter Alice.

BARNES, Ken -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ September▼ 10, 2005, Page M6
Ken BARNES kept his drawings as he worked on the Avro Arrow, and his family is now deciding how best to get these pieces of Canadian history into a museum.
As a colour-blind young drafting student in night school, Mr. BARNES impressed his teacher enough to land a job. Working first for Victory Aircraft and then for the A.V. Roe aircraft company, he had a hand in the building of several legendary planes.
"At the beginning of the war, Ken was redesigning the Lancaster for the [Royal Air Force]," remembers his younger brother Jack, 85. "While he was designing them, I was over there flying them."
The family says that Mr. BARNES worked later on the Jetliner, the first jet-powered passenger aircraft, and on the Arrow as it went through the planning phase. It was his job to put down on paper the ever-evolving vision of the head designers. And many of these drawings made their way to his home in Etobicoke.
When then prime minister John DIEFENBAKER stopped Arrow production and ordered all traces destroyed, Mr. BARNES was one of the workers who couldn't follow the order.
"Officially it was destroyed, everything," Jack says. "Naturally, some of the employees saved some materials... my brother, he kept the originals because he drew them."
These drawings were stored for decades at the home long inhabited by Mr. BARNES and his wife, who predeceased him, but the family is well aware of their historic value.
"We haven't made any decisions yet," said Ken BARNES's son Gord, who now lives in Regina. "It's an important decision to make."
Mr. BARNES spent his entire career in various forms of the aerospace industry. Years after the Arrow project, he worked for a company that used Canadian-designed jet engines to force oil through pipelines. He was also involved in development of the Canadarm, this country's contribution to the U.S. space-shuttle program.
Although struggling with a Parkinson's-like disease, he refused to go into a nursing home. He died last month at the age of 87.

RICHARDS, Eric -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ September▲▼ 17, 2005, Page M6
Even when gravely ill with kidney disease, Eric Oxford RICHARDS insisted that his life was about more than his health problems. Not even three-hour dialysis treatments or a Christmas in hospital would change that.
"He never wanted his medical situation to define him," said his mother, Glenda RICHARDS.
Mr. RICHARDS's kidney problems dated to the early stages of his life. After being in and out of hospital from the age of 2 to 5, he got a clean bill of health and was off all medications by the age of 10. Nearly a decade later, though, the effects of living with one kidney removed began to show.
Mr. RICHARDS started daily dialysis at 19. He died prematurely, a month before his 33rd birthday, but his mother said he had lived a full life by his death September 8.
"The coroner said he had a really rough life. I had to correct him," Ms. RICHARDS said. "He had a wonderful life."
As a teen, Mr. RICHARDS acted on a television show called The Campbells. Over the years, he also played in several bands and wrote poetry.
He was drawn to the myth of the phoenix, the idea of a new being rising from the ashes of the old. It was a reflection of the hardships he had endured, his mother said, and how they had strengthened him.
"He was, in his own way, very spiritual," Ms. RICHARDS said. "He knew that if he moved on, he was moving on to somewhere else, wherever that is."
Mr. RICHARDS leaves his mother and his two cats, Hamlet and Macbeth. His dog, Buddy, is in the care of his ex-wife, Lori NEWMAN.

Neighbours are relieved arrest made
Police find human remains 100 kilometres from where Alicia ROSS was last seen
By Unnati GANDHI and Timothy APPLEBY, With a report from Oliver MOORE, Thursday,▲▼ September▲▼ 22, 2005, Page A17
Sitting around the kitchen table, four Friends of Alicia ROSS's family tried to calm their nerves with a cup of tea yesterday afternoon. They couldn't bear to be outside where lines of police tape surrounded the neighbouring home of 31-year-old Daniel SYLVESTER, who surrendered to police and is charged with second-degree murder.
"Why didn't he do it earlier?" asked Benny ARONOWITZ, who lives on Green Lane. "The family had to suffer so much."
One of Mr. ARONOWITZ's Friends, Nina REZMOVITZ, said her son, David, and Ms. ROSS were good Friends.
"We're all parents, and this is the worst thing that could happen to any of us," she said. "David and his girlfriend scoured the ravine for hours. He was so distraught."
Ms. ROSS, 25, was last seen by her boyfriend, Sean HINE, just after midnight on August 17 at the home where she lived with her parents. Police described Mr. HINE as a person of interest, but yesterday her next-door neighbour turned himself in.
Hours later, police discovered human remains in two locations. They said they're confident the remains are those of Ms. ROSS.
Ontario's chief coroner confirmed the remains were found near the town of Manilla, about 50 kilometres northeast of Markham, and near the town of Coboconk, another 40 kilometres north.
Bronte Road, the tree-lined street where the victim lived, was quiet yesterday except for the forensic investigators who were scouring the house next door, a home listed as belonging to Grant SYLVESTER since 1997. The best-selling author died in 1999.
His widow, Olga Mary, and son Daniel continued to live in the family home. The couple's other son, Robert, had moved to Mississauga.
Although Daniel SYLVESTER lived in the neighbourhood, he seems to have left little impression. Shown his photo, numerous local residents said they had never seen him. Two women who lived within 100 metres of the SYLVESTER home said working suburbanites invariably go from their car to their house, barely saying hello to any but the closest neighbours.
"I don't know the name of the person across the street," said Angela TORTI, who moved to the area 22 years ago when it was a new subdivision.
None of the neighbours lingering around the cordoned-off area claimed to have seen any of the SYLVESTERs much.
"Everybody today kind of goes their own way. When you have small children, you go out walking with them and you get to know your neighbours," Ms. REZMOVITZ said. "But once your kids are grown, often you don't know who your neighbours are."
Calls to the SYLVESTER home and to Robert's home, office and cottage were not answered.
Next door to the SYLVESTER residence, two posters with Ms. ROSS's photo were still taped to the back windows of an sport utility vehicle. A couple arrived to visit Ms. ROSS's family during the afternoon, but declined to comment afterward.
Around dinnertime, a police officer prevented a teenage girl from entering blocked-off Bronte Road. She left a plastic-wrapped bouquet at the barricade and lit a small candle.
Although some residents said they were shocked to hear that a neighbour had been arrested, they said they were nevertheless relieved.
"It's devastating to hear. It shows some degree of a conscience, turning himself in, but it's like humanizing a monster. This can't redeem him," said Marc FINKELSTEIN, who was jogging with his wife, Simone. "This has paralyzed the neighbourhood. It used to be such an active neighbourhood. It's nice to know all this is finally over."
Ms. TORTI said she had been unable to stop worrying about her daughter, who is living at home while studying at the University of Toronto.
"I don't go to sleep until she's in," she said. "She's 23, but honest to God, I don't go to sleep."
About 100 kilometres northeast of the neighbourhood, human remains that York Regional Police say likely belong to Ms. ROSS, were discovered.
Helicopters whirled overhead, police and Ontario Provincial Police tracker dogs scoured the bush and thick bull rushes over a wide area north and south of Highway 7. But the focal point of the search appeared to be just south of the town of Manilla bisected by Highway 7.
Near the intersection of Simcoe Street and the Seventh Concession, police tape surrounded a rectangle of thick, damp brush less than three metres from the roadside. Under a broiling sun, police with weed whackers cut thick grass and carried it to a York Regional Police forensic truck.
An officer said his colleagues had been there since early morning.
The seven-hectare (28-acre) property has been for sale since the beginning of the month, with an asking price of $139,900 and nobody was more surprised to see the flurry of activity than listing agent Audrey GRIFFIOEN.
"This is terrible, I can't believe it," she said, explaining that the property -- partly farm land and partly environmentally protected -- had recently had a conditional purchase offer.
"He's got to be a real sicko, the guy who did this," she said. "Killing is bad enough, but hacking up and spreading body parts all over the countryside.... I'll bet you he just stopped in his car and chucked it."
Also dismayed was 23-year-old Melissa NEWBERRY, whose parents own an 11-hectare (43-acre) parcel of dense brush just north of Highway 7, where more searching was under way.
"It's kind of scary," she said, recounting a recent incident in which she was jogging along the road. She said "some creepo in a yellow car," whom she described as a blond-haired man about 30 years old, appeared to be watching her.
She was advised to report the encounter to one of the numerous police officers in the area.

Thomas Herbert ANSTEY
By J.F. BOSHER, Friday, September 23, 2005, Page A28
Yachtsman, soldier and director of agricultural research stations. Born December 27, 1917, in Victoria. Died May 18 in Ottawa after a car accident, aged 87.
My cousin Tom ANSTEY, a lifelong benevolent force, would repair broken furniture in a friend's house, prune a friend's roses, or give away strawberry plants, potting soil, and his own home-made wine. He never counted the cost or the trouble.
It was in the same spirit that he went to Kiev in the early 1990s with his friend Eugene WHELAN, former minister of agriculture, to help the Ukrainian government with agricultural problems.
Off he went, handing out freely what he had learned in his career as a director of Canadian agricultural research stations at Agassiz and Summerland, British Columbia, Lethbridge, Alberta., and, from 1969, in the agriculture department in Ottawa.
He was a plain, practical person. It would not cross Tom's mind to mention that he was an honorary life member of the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science, held office in the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage, and had published a 400-page history of agricultural research in Canada called One Hundred Harvests.
In the Second World War, he served in Europe as an officer in a Canadian unit that was lent to the 2nd Battalion Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry of the British 6th Airborne Division and for the rest of his life he attended the annual gatherings of his fellow veterans in that "CanLoan" force.
His interest in the plant sciences had first been aroused in his childhood by an English uncle in Canada, J.E. BOSHER, who worked at the Saanichton Experimental Farm in British Columbia.
After a doctoral degree at the University of Minnesota, Tom's research added to horticultural knowledge about broccoli, strawberries, and other fruit crops.
Tom was the oldest of four children born in Victoria to a cabinet-maker from Coventry, Britain, who had followed his lady-love when she moved with her family in 1911 from Manchester to Sidney, B.C.
The children grew up in a house their father had built with his own hands, he being a trained cabinetmaker in charge of teaching woodwork and metalwork at Victoria High School.
Tom grew up playing the cello, accompanied on the piano by his mother.
His father taught the boys in the family to build boats and sail them in the sheltered waters around the Saanich Peninsula, which is why Tom sailed a 22-foot yacht on the Ottawa River at Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa as long as he could. He named her Tilicum after the famous native dugout canoe sailed from Victoria to London in 1901 by Captain J.C. Voss.
But lest anyone imagine that Tom was spoiled during his childhood, it should be added that his parents were strict Baptists and he was often left in Sidney with grandparents who had brought strict, though well-meaning, habits with them.
In October, 1921, when Tom was four years old, his grandmother reported to one of his aunts in a letter, "He is a dear little fellow. I thought this morning he was going to be ill so I put him to bed tho' he very much objected. So I spanked him and gave him a dose of castor oil when he wakened. Seems much better now."
Trouble like that did not deter Tom. And he did not impose such discipline on the three children he had with his wife, Wynne FERGUSON, whom he married in Brockville, Ontario, during the war.
Soon after she died in 1998 he moved to an old-age home in Ottawa and three years later married a widowed neighbour there, Dorothy MOORE, with whom he lived happily until his fatal car accident.
J.F. BOSHER is Tom's cousin.

MOORE, Vivian
It was a long battle with a short, but peaceful ending. After fighting cancer successfully for five years, Vivian MOORE quietly slipped away from us all on October 23, 2005 in Toronto.
Vivian was no stranger to struggle. She fled the grinding poverty of a small mountain village in Greece as a child. On her own, she crossed the Atlantic on a steamer ship to live with an uncle and aunt in Canada in the hope of finding a better life. She grew up half a world away from her mother and brothers, living in a land where she did not speak the language. It was a challenge that would defeat many. But with unwavering determination, she persevered. And she did find that rich and wonderful and rewarding life.
A radiant young woman living in Hamilton, she met Allan MOORE, the man with the dancing blue eyes and infectious smile who became her true love and devoted soulmate. From Hamilton, they moved to Winnipeg, where they spent most of their 51 years together. They shared a life blessed with close family and warm Friendships. They entertained graciously. They cocooned with their children at the cottage. They celebrated both triumphs big and small with Friends and loved ones. And with infinite compassion, they were always the first to extend a hand when darkness descended into someone else's life. Rarely did they stand still for long. Together they criss-crossed the globe, sharing adventures together in Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. But their most poignant trips were visits back to Greece where Vivian reconnected with her loving mother and adoring brothers.
Vivian will be deeply missed by her family. Her husband Allan, her sons Paul and David, Paul's wife Susan SWAN and David's partner Alfredo RODRIGUEZ. And she will also be deeply missed by the two boys, who could always put a smile on her face, her beloved grand_sons Graydon and Jonathan. Beyond family, there are countless people from Winnipeg, Victoria Beach, Toronto and throughout southern Ontario, who will be saddened by her passing. But all of us, family and Friends alike, will smile someday soon knowing that we were all privileged to have shared a walk along the same path as such a vibrant and loving soul.
A funeral service will be held in Toronto this Thursday, October 27, at 1: 00 p.m. at the Chapel of St. James-the-Less at St. James Cemetery, 635 Parliament Street. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, #1-888-939-3333.

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."

The sweet lure of old-style candy at Pete TURCHYN's corner store near High Park pulled in generations of school kids, many of whom grew into parents bringing their own children to the shop.
Mr. TURCHYN, a tailor in his native Ukraine, stood daily behind the counter at Sunny Bar as thousands of kids from the four nearby schools came in before, during and after their classes.
Teachers came, too, says his daughter Sonia, and they particularly appreciated that he kept the shop open during strikes that drove the student body away.
"He wanted a business of his own," his daughter said. "He saw the attraction of all the schools there and he tried it out as a candy store/snack bar-type restaurant."
The gamble paid off, but very long workweeks became a fixture of Mr. TURCHYN's life. He worked behind the counter on Annette Street for 45 years, and he was routinely on the job 12 hours a day, six days a week.
"He didn't want to do anything else -- that's why he didn't want to give it up," Ms. TURCHYN said. "He saw over four generations [grow up]." And Mr. TURCHYN's personal touch fit the neighbourhood well, she says. "It's a very old-fashioned... close area where you learn [neighbours] by name."
Mr. TURCHYN worked until a stroke put limits on what he could do. By then, he was being helped increasingly by Sonia, who had been drawn back into the family business where she'd spent her childhood.
"He did have a sweet tooth," Ms. TURCHYN said. "He was like me we'd try everything before we'd bring it in."
Sonia took over the business five years ago and has tried to keep it as retro as possible, true to the vision her father brought to the store. "It's like a time warp in there," she said.
Mr. TURCHYN died on October 6 at age 85. He is survived by his wife, Mary, and daughters Sonia and Darlene.

HOPKINS, Lucy -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ November▼ 5, 2005, Page M4
Lucy HOPKINS was such an eager saleswoman she once knocked unwittingly on the door of a hydro substation disguised as a home.
Ms. HOPKINS came to Canada from Ukraine after the Second World War, after spending time in a labour camp in Germany. She fled to this new life with her mother, both of them believing that her father was dead. They learned only decades later that he had actually survived the war.
In Toronto, Ms. HOPKINS found work as a secretary in a legal firm and met her future husband. They married and she switched to sales.
After doing some work with Avon, Ms. HOPKINS tried her hand at real estate. She was a quick success. In 1969, she was named the top real-estate agent in North America. The feat made the pages of the now-defunct Toronto Telegram, which noted that "the best salesman is a lady called Lucy."
Although her career was a string of successes -- and her 1969 award has been credited with encouraging women to enter the real-estate business -- her only daughter is quick to dispel the notion that the sales sphere was in her blood.
"She was not someone who was very lucky at real estate -- she worked hard at it," Barbara PAYNE said. "I remember one Christmas when she was selling a house to Jewish people. It didn't matter to them that it was Christmas, so off she went."
Ms. HOPKINS eased out of real estate as she aged, putting more time into Probus, an organization for retired business people. She died of cancer on October 5 and a memorial service was held last Saturday. She was predeceased by her husband and leaves her daughter.

CLONEY, Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Joseph -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ November▲▼ 12, 2005, Page M4
Yesterday was the first Remembrance Day in decades on which retired Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Joseph CLONEY did not speak at a local school.
He made a point of telling students about the realities of war, his son Brian said, because he knew how important it was to talk to people around the same age as so many of those who fought last century's conflicts. "When you see the veterans that survived," Brian CLONEY said. "The maturity they had at an early age is quite different from someone growing up now."
Lt.-Col. CLONEY served in the infantry in Italy as a junior officer, before falling back on his legal training for the remainder of the Second World War. He became a military lawyer and briefly defended Private PRINGLE, the last member of the Canadian military to have been executed. Lt.-Col. CLONEY was taken off the case before the soldier, who is now thought to have been shell-shocked, was sentenced to death for murder.
"My dad might not have got him off but he probably wouldn't have been executed," Brian CLONEY said. "There were five different individuals he defended and had a perfect record in getting them off. It got to the point where people said, 'I want Lieutenant CLONEY for me.'
After re-entering civilian life, Lt.-Col. CLONEY was elevated to the bench. He served as a judge of the criminal division of the Ontario Provincial Court and died September 14, aged 94. He was predeceased by his wife Marie Catherine McDERMOTT, who died in 1988.

MacRAE, Margaret Elizabeth -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ November▲▼ 19, 2005, Page M5
Driven by her love of stories, Margaret Elizabeth MacRAE helped spearhead the establishment of the libraries that are now seen in Toronto's elementary schools.
The daughter of a Presbyterian minister, she was offered a mission scholarship to the University of Western Ontario but opted for the University of Toronto, where her future husband was bound.
Before switching to library school, Ms. MacRAE studied English, which helped her in her library career, her son Charles said.
"You have to bring a certain sense of discrimination [to book selection]," Mr. MacRAE said. "Her house is still full of books. There's quite an extensive... collection of children's literature."
Ms. MacRAE joined the Toronto Public Library as it moved to stop maintaining outposts in local schools, and was given the task of helping the boards establish their own libraries.
She later joined her husband, professor Donald Alexander MacRAE, as a lecturer at the University of Toronto. She died October 10 after a long illness.

WEBB, Douglas Gordon -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ December▲▼ 3, 2005, Page M6
Ryerson history professor Douglas WEBB had catholic tastes and would have loved the chance to teach about pop culture.
"I know he was a big fan of The Simpsons -- he always seemed to have it on while he was marking papers," his brother Donald said. "If he'd lived, he would have taught a course on that."
Don WEBB said his brother didn't finish his doctorate because he was "a perfectionist," but taught at the university level nonetheless. He had studied intellectual history in pursuit of a sociology doctorate and throughout his life had a keen interest in contemporary politics.
"He could have been one of those backroom guys in politics," Don WEBB said, noting his brother's analysis of the election that brought Mike Harris to power in Ontario. "That '95 election, he called it right to the riding -- he called every seat."
As an instructor, he got bored easily, and switched his teaching focus repeatedly among subjects such as the American Civil War, the Third Reich, espionage and the First World War.
Douglas WEBB was born in 1948 and educated at the University of Toronto. He lived his entire adult life in the city, rarely leaving even for vacations.
He lectured first at the University of Toronto and then at Ryerson, taking repeated stabs at different phases of history and building a formidable knowledge base.
"He just sort of slept and ate this stuff," Don WEBB said. "He seemed to know everything about everything."
Douglas WEBB suffered a heart attack in February and, misunderstanding what had happened, waited five days before seeking medical attention. The effects of that attack forced him into a series of procedures and he was in a medically induced coma on August 14, the day he turned 57.
Mr. WEBB died October 11 at St. Michael's Hospital.

COOKE, F. Stewart -- Dispatch
By Oliver MOORE, Saturday,▲▼ December▲▼ 10, 2005, Page M6
F. Stewart COOKE came by his idealism naturally. He moved to Southern Ontario with the experience of having seen his father, a teacher, blacklisted in Saskatchewan for his socialist leanings.
He remained a firebrand all his life and was shocked, his daughter Laurie COOKE said, to see at the end of his life the state the public health care system had fallen to.
It was a disappointment that followed his regret at seeing the United Steelworkers of America so reduced in Hamilton.
But he didn't lose his optimism. Only two days before he died, he mused to his daughter, "We still have the structures in place, all we need are the people."
Mr. COOKE grew up in South Battleford, Saskatchewan., and was immersed early in the lefty politics of that province. His family was on social terms with Tommy Douglas and his daughter thinks he may have even met his future wife at an activist meeting.
In Hamilton, he spent decades with the Steelworkers, and six years as local director. He went on to sit as a workers' representative on the Ontario Labour Relations Board, as a member of the Workmen's Compensation Board and on the board of governors at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.
His daughter, noting that she walked her first picket line as a toddler, said his schedule didn't always leave him much time to be a father to his family. But he got a second chance to master the role.
"He became like a father to [my child], and I saw what kind of a dad he would have been if he hadn't been a union organizer," Ms. COOKE said this week.
Mr. COOKE died on December 2. His memorial is scheduled for February 4. The memorial, to be held at the Steelworkers local in Toronto, was deliberately postponed until after the election so more people could attend.
