(STEINER)
Born October 3, 1970 passed away peacefully on June 23, 2005
surrounded by her family.
Despite being diagnosed with a brain tumor almost year ago, Naomi
continued to live her life to the fullest. She continued to have
hope, and continued to give to, and draw strength from, an enormous
group of family and Friends.
Naomi is survived by her husband, Daniel

MASON, Beverly
SPRING, Keith
HATLELID and Lori
MacFARLANE, as
well as the caring nurses and staff of the British Columbia Cancer
Agency and the Palliative Care Ward at Vancouver General Hospital
for their support and guidance.
Naomi lived a full, but short life. She studied at Vancouver
Talmud Torah and Magee High School. At 16 she traveled to France
to attend school there. Her university education was at McGill
(B.A., 1990), Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1989) and University
of Toronto (M.B.A., 1998) where she was her class president.
From 1994 to 1996 she worked, first as a volunteer, and then
as a manager, at The United Way of Greater Vancouver. From 1988
to 2001 she worked as a management consultant with AT Kearney,
dividing her time between her home with Daniel in Toronto and
cities across North America, including New York where she and
Daniel lived from 2000 to 2002. In 2002 Naomi and Daniel returned
to Vancouver, where Naomi worked with Arts Umbrella where she
was instrumental in the establishment of the endowment fund in
honor of Carol Henriquez.
Naomi was also active in the community, as a board member of
the Jewish Family Service Agency of Vancouver and co-chair of
its 'Innovators Lunch' held in April 2004, and co-chair of the
Ben Gurion Society and of the Family Day of the Jewish Federation
of Greater Vancouver.
Family and Friends were central to Naomi's life. She had the
ability to touch each of them all of the time. Her children bear
the indelible stamp of her love. She will be missed and remembered
by many.
Funeral services will be held at Temple Sholom in Vancouver at
7190 Oak Street on Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 10: 00 a.m. with the
burial to follow at Temple Sholom's Cemetery in White Rock. (Shiva
arrangements will be announced at the funeral.)
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to
the Naomi Fund at the Jewish Family Service Agency. The Naomi
Fund will support families and individuals facing medical crisis
in our community who are not fortunate enough to have a group
of family and Friends such as those who were available to provide
strength to Naomi. Please contact J.S.F.A. in Vancouver at 604-257

Man shot, killed in crowded square
At least 1,000 people were partying, with lots of police around,
when shots were fired.
Canadian Press
Toronto -- Hundreds of people dropped their drinks and kicked
off their sandals and flip-flops to flee the scene after gunfire
rang out at a jammed public square early yesterday.
It was one of three fatal but apparently unrelated shootings
in a 12-hour span.
At least 1,000 people were partying at Dundas Square, a downtown
gathering spot, at 4: 30 a.m. when the shooting happened, said
Toronto police Staff Insp. Jeff
McGUIRE.
"It was packed, it's safe to say wall-to-wall people," he said.
"I'm sure you're going to fit more than 1,000 people there."
Hundreds of police officers were on the scene as part of stepped-up
security deployed for large crowds, such as the weekend Caribana
festival celebrating Caribbean culture,
McGUIRE said.
Ajine STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, 24, of Mississauga, was arrested soon after the
shooting and faces a charge of first-degree murder in the death
of Dwayne TAILOR/TAYLOR, 21, of nearby Brampton, who died later in hospital.
McGUIRE added he couldn't understand why someone would commit
such a crime in plain view of a substantial police presence and
security cameras.
"I mean, we have police officers on horses, we have hundreds
of police officers in uniform and (someone would) still choose
to take someone's life."
McGUIRE said the square is popular most Saturday nights, but
this week's had swelled exponentially due to the city's Caribana
festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands of people from
all over North America and the Caribbean.
But he was quick to add the shooting was not the result of the
festival itself.
"Shooting people on Dundas (Street)... has nothing to do with
Caribana, it has to do with a large crowd gathering after the
event," he said.
In another case, the body of Umathevan
THIYAGARAJAH, 26, of Toronto
was found at a suburban intersection after gunfire was reported.
Elsewhere, Leroy
WHITTAKER, 46, was shot through his Toronto
apartment door.
No arrests have been made in those shootings, which follow a
spurt of recent violence.

Homicide toll climbs to 38 after weekend shootings
Four dead in separate incidents in the Greater Toronto Area within
less than 12 hours
By Timothy
APPLEBY,
Monday,
August 1, 2005, Page A7
Toronto's homicide total for the year climbed to 38 yesterday
after three disparate gunshot slayings in different corners of
the city within less than 12 hours.
And just north of the city, Peel Region police were investigating
the Greater Toronto Area's fourth homicide of the weekend after
a woman was found suffering "severe trauma" in a basement apartment
in Brampton.
In Toronto, one killing occurred shortly before dawn, as thousands
of post-Caribana celebrants milled on downtown Yonge Street,
and was witnessed by a police officer who chased and captured
the alleged gunman nearby. Panicked onlookers fled as the gunfire
erupted.
The three Toronto homicides came on the heels of a blood-soaked
48 hours less than a week earlier, when seven people were wounded
in six different gun incidents that were also apparently unrelated.
The weekend violence took place just days after Statistics Canada
released its annual crime report for 2004, which showed that
the Greater Toronto Area had the lowest crime rate of any major
Canadian city last year, with an 8.6 per cent reduction over
The number of murders in Toronto dropped by 3 per cent last year,
dipping to 64, even as the rate rose nationwide. (In 1991, the
Toronto figure was 89, a record high.)
Together, those seemingly contrary trends suggest that while
the city overall may be safer than a few years ago, the opposite
holds true within the underworld, where by every measure there
are more firearms available than ever before, notably handguns
smuggled in from the United States.
"The biggest concern is, the number of people out there who know
people who are carrying guns," Staff Insp. Jeff
McGUIRE, who
heads the homicide squad, said yesterday. "We need people to
come forward and work with us so we can get them off the street."
The first of the weekend's slayings occurred in North York Saturday
afternoon, when police were summoned by a 911 call from a 10-year-old
boy living in a high-rise apartment on Flemington Road, close
to where one of last weekend's shootings occurred.
Inside the apartment was Leroy
WHITTAKER, 46, shot dead by bullets
fired through the closed front door, apparently after a knock.
Two men seen loitering in the corridor a short while before the
shooting are being sought.
As to whether Mr.
WHITTAKER was the intended victim, "we don't
know because the shooters themselves would not have known who
was on the other side," Staff Insp.
McGUIRE said.
"We're simply fortunate that the 10-year-old lad was not in the
way."
Next to die, shortly before midnight Saturday, was Umathevan
THIYAGARAJAH, 26, found in the well-lit parking lot of a small
strip mall at Finch and Warden avenues in Scarborough.
Mr. THIYAGARAJAH, who appeared to have had no previous dealings
with police, had been shot several times and was pronounced dead
at the scene.
Several men were spied near where his body was found. Police
yesterday urged any witnesses: to come forward.
Finally, at around 4: 30 a.m. yesterday, came the gunfire at Yonge
and Dundas streets, killing Dwayne
TAILOR/TAYLOR, 21, of Brampton, who
died later in hospital.
Ajine STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, 24, of Mississauga, was arrested soon after the
shooting and faces a charge of first-degree murder.
In Brampton, police responded to a 911 call about 1 p.m. yesterday
after a man who was seen walking naked in the Williams Parkway
and McLaughlin Road area said a crime had been committed.
Officers later discovered a 21-year-old woman "suffering from
severe trauma to the head" in a nearby basement apartment, Constable
Jennifer BRYER said.
The woman died of her injuries in hospital.
Police are treating her death as a homicide and have arrested
the man, but he has not been charged. They say the man and woman
knew each other.
Staff Insp.
McGUIRE stressed that Toronto's weekend Caribana
festivities appear not to have had any connection to the violence.
While much of the crowd packed into Dundas Square had been celebrating
Caribana, he noted, the festival itself was by then long over
and was almost entirely trouble-free.
"This had nothing to do with Caribana, it's a very unfortunate
incident, I'm sure the people associated with Caribana just shake
their heads."

Shootings 'spike' as 3 slain
Police downplay violence as third victim shot to death
Man gunned down through closed door of his apartment
By Sikander Z.
HASHMI and Bob
MITCHELL,
Staff
Reporters
Three fatal shootings in 12 hours have jolted the city and left
a neighbourhood in fear, but police are downplaying the most
recent rash of violence.
"When a spike like that happens in the year, we have to remember
that this stuff does level out over the average year," Toronto
police Staff Insp. Jeff
McGUIRE told a news conference yesterday.
Besides the two fatal shootings Saturday, a man was shot dead
yesterday at Yonge-Dundas Square at Yonge and Dundas Sts.
The first shooting death, the city's 36th homicide of the year,
occurred Saturday afternoon on Flemington Rd., near Lawrence
Ave. and Allen Rd., in an area that saw two shootings last week.
Police do not believe the incidents are related.
Leroy WHITTAKER, 46, was gunned down as he came to answer the
door at his Lawrence Heights apartment. A 10-year-old boy inside
the apartment, whose relationship to the victim police wouldn't
disclose, called 911. Police say the shots were fired through
the closed door and do not know if
WHITTAKER was the intended
victim.
"The aggravating factor obviously in this case is first of all
the indiscriminate use of a firearm, firing through the door
of the apartment when there was really no way to know who was
on the other side," said
McGUIRE.
Police are looking for two men between the ages of 25 and 30.
One is tall with a thin build and was wearing a white do-rag
on his head. The other is shorter than the first suspect and
has a stocky build.
"I can't believe someone would go kill that poor innocent man,"
said a former neighbour. "He's so innocent. That man give trouble
to no one."
Yesterday, police tape blocked off an area marked by a large
dried bloodstain in front of the victim's apartment as two officers
kept watch. Drops of dried blood marked the stairs leading to
the floor.
Fearful neighbours barely raised their voices as they spoke about
what happened.
A nearby neighbour, who also didn't want to be identified, trembled
as she recounted Saturday's events. She had just returned from
shopping and had noticed two men standing outside the victim's
door. A few minutes later, shots rang out, followed by sirens.
There is no way she can continue to live in the area, she said.
"I'm outta here," said the 46-year-old. "I don't care how, (even)
if I have to go to a shelter. I'm not living here."
Candice HEWSTON, 21, a mother of three young children who lives
four doors away from the crime scene, was scared and said she
had been looking to move before Saturday's incident due to violence
in the past.
Over on Dorney Court, the scene of the two shootings last week,
there was as much frustration as fear.
"It's just ridiculous," said a mother of three who refused to
be identified. "Nobody feels safe around here any more.
"I don't care about myself, but my kids, they have to go through
that, you know. It's traumatizing for them."
In the second homicide of the weekend, a 26-year-old man from
Sri Lanka, gunned down late Saturday night in a Scarborough parking
lot, may have been shot moments after leaving a bank machine.
Police discovered the body of Umathevan
THIYAGARAJAH when they
arrived at the scene at the rear of a professional building at
the northeast corner of Warden and Finch Aves.
It's too early to comment on what may have led to
THIYAGARAJAH's
slaying, said
McGUIRE. "
There was a group of people around and
something may have happened."
McGUIRE said police received a call about 11: 50 p.m. on Saturday
that gunshots had been heard at the location, which is directly
across from Bridlewood Mall.
"In the parking lot they found the victim lying on the ground,
obviously badly injured and there were four or five people standing
around at the time who have all been interviewed,"
McGUIRE said.
Police said
THIYAGARAJAH wasn't known to them and that he lived
in Scarborough.
McGUIRE said he was found at the base of a light standard in
the well-lit parking lot.
"It's an area known for people to congregate in the evenings,
hanging around,"
McGUIRE said. "In particular it's our understanding
there were a number of people standing at the bus stop at Warden
and Finch.... We expect they would have been in position to see
or hear something which may add to the investigation, and we
would ask that they also come forward."
Yellow police tape cordoned off the entire strip mall yesterday,
including a large parking lot at the rear of the four-storey
professional building at 3420 Finch Ave. E., which houses many
medical and dental offices.
More than a dozen evidence markers had been placed in an area
of the parking lot immediately in front of the entrance to several
automated teller machines at a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
bank as forensic investigators meticulously examined the parking
lot for clues.
Police said they were also checking to see if any of the businesses
in the area had video surveillance that may have captured the
shooting.
