At 44, artist was just blossoming
Working alone on hydraulic platform in Downsview Park
His colourful work was beginning to surface across the city
By Jessica
LEEDER,
Staff
Reporter
Pedro ALDERETE was putting the finishing touches on his largest
and most public piece of work -- a five-part mural on the outside
of a million-square-foot building at Downsview Park -- when he
died Monday.
Working alone on a section of the mural that symbolized stewardship
and included a portrait of his 5-year-old daughter, the 44-year-old
artist was crushed between a hydraulic platform and the warehouse-style
door he was painting. Emergency workers who rushed to the scene
were unable to revive him, said park spokesman Garth
HARDIE.
ALDERETE's mural at the national park was the up-and-coming artist's
biggest commission yet and his own idea. A casual visitor at
the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health on Queen St. W.,
ALDERETE
sold his first piece in a patients-only show there last summer
and was in the midst of planning a solo display at the centre
set to open next month. Friends said the Cuban expatriate devoted
much of his last 15 years to volunteering for an eclectic mix
of artists' organizations. Finally, his work had begun to surface
across the city.
"In the art community in Toronto, everybody knows Pedro," said
Ilona ZAREMBA, a visual artist and close friend. "His voice was
always the loudest. He was always smiling, helping people, always
willing to talk. He was very committed as an artist. Five months
ago, people started loving his work." His pieces were so good,
ZAREMBA said, that
ALDERETE was invited to travel to a Mexico
City art show last year. A fear of flying kept him grounded.
Frustrated,
ALDERETE vowed to conquer his fear this year and
purchased a plane ticket for a trip to home to Cuba in December.
HARDIE said he didn't know of anyone who was working near
ALDERETE
at the time of the accident. Yesterday, investigators removed
the equipment that crushed the artist,
HARDIE said, adding that
the labour ministry is still investigating the incident and few
details are known. Ministry officials did not return a call for
comment.
ALDERETE was a member of the board of directors of A-Space, which
displays politically motivated work. Last summer, he was featured
in Our Roots and Beyond, a display at Gallery 61 on Ossington
St. In 2004, his work was shown in a display of Latino art at
the DeLeon White Gallery on Queen St. W.
Jazz singer Chantal
ASTON,
ALDERETE's partner, said she learned
of his death late Monday afternoon when police came to her door.
Too stunned to speak, she made her way to
ZAREMBA's home on Queen
St.
W. where she,
ALDERETE and their daughter, Irea, often gathered
with Friends.
"She just obviously couldn't talk," said
ZAREMBA.
Instead,
Irea
told them what she had gleaned from the police.
"She said, 'My daddy was killed in an accident,'"
ZAREMBA said.
By nightfall, a small group of artists had gathered at
ZAREMBA's
home. Bewildered and disbelieving, they held an all-night vigil,
savouring the memory of their friend bike riding along Queen
St. and creating mixed-media installations to decorate his apartment.
Yesterday, the group went to the park to lay bouquets, light
candles and pay their respects. They also met with park officials
to discuss building a permanent memorial at the site.
"We need something,"
ZAREMBA said, pausing, "so that he doesn't
go away just like that."
The group spent much of last night figuring out how to help
ASTON
pay for ALDERETE's memorial service. Bruno
DILLIO, a friend and
artist, said the group intends to hold an exposition in
ALDERETE's
honour at the Gladstone Hotel on Queen St. W. in the coming weeks.
ZAREMBA said they're also planning to set up a trust fund for
Irea and to lessen the burden of living without
ALDERETE.
Already, ALDERETE's death has created a void. "It's hard to imagine
who I'm going to have finish my sentences,"
ASTON said. "Through
a lot of hardships that he endured, he was just blossoming at
this time in his life. Work was going well. He was having shows.
He had a great mural that he was painting... all of this was
happening when this happened.
"I feel honoured that he picked me to be loved."

Pair's death in car deepens distress at school
Students already split over sex-assault, harassment charges against
16 youths
By Unnati GANDHI and Joe
FRIESEN,
Friday,
November 18, 2005,
Page A13
A school stunned by the arrest of 16 young people on charges
of sexual assault and harassment was rocked again yesterday by
the death of one of its students.
Police found the bodies of 17-year-old Anna
ZARNOCH, a Grade
12 student at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School, and
William RODRIGUEZ, 22, just after 6 a.m., yesterday in Mr.
RODRIGUEZ's
garage in the city's west end.
Police called the deaths accidental, saying the two probably
died of carbon-monoxide inhalation after the old Cadillac they
were sitting in had been running for hours overnight with the
heater on and the garage door closed.
A police spokeswoman said Ms.
ZARNOCH's death is not related
to the criminal investigation at the school.
"She went to the school, but she was in no way connected to the
sexual-harassment case," Constable Wendy
DRUMMOND said, adding
that Ms. ZARNOCH was not a witness in the case. "At this point,
we're ruling it an accidental death from carbon-monoxide poisoning,"
The teen's death plunged a divided school further into disarray.
Many senior students, some of them facing charges, are waiting
for the court case to begin as well as mourning a classmate's
death. For a school with slightly more than 600 students from
Grades 9 through 12, the effect will likely be significant.
On Monday, 14 students were taken from their classes, arrested
and handcuffed. They joined two others accused in a case that
has sent shockwaves throughout the city. Police allege that a
16-year-old student was sexually assaulted and harassed both
inside and outside the high school for more than a year. In one
incident, police say, the girl was dragged from a school hallway
and assaulted in a stairwell before being taken to a bathroom
and assaulted again.
Staff convened an emergency meeting with students, parents and
police Wednesday night to discuss the impact of the alleged assaults
and the arrests of the 16 students. The event apparently did
little to calm frayed nerves.
Some parents said they were considering removing their children
from the school, while others said their children were afraid
to return. A few students said they were ashamed to wear their
school uniforms in public.
Many students are upset with the way the case was handled.
They say their classmates shouldn't have been arrested at school.
They have accused police and school officials of racism and of
being heavy-handed in dealing with the accused, all of whom are
black. Some have stayed away from school since they attended
a bail hearing for their jailed Friends on Tuesday.
Ms. ZARNOCH lived in a high-rise building just south of the school
near Keele and Finch Avenues.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ, who was her boyfriend, according to family members,
lived in the Lansdowne house near St. Clair Avenue with his mother,
sister and brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law, Al
BARBOZA, said at the home yesterday that
the pair had gone into the garage about 7: 30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ's mother checked on them at about 1 a.m. and thought
they were asleep.
"They stayed in the car the whole night," Mr.
BARBOZA said. "I
can't believe they were out there sleeping, it's so cold."
When the mother found them without any vital signs at about 6
a.m., she called police.
Mr. BARBOZA said he didn't know Ms.
ZARNOCH very well, but knew
that she had been reported missing by her family on Wednesday.
"Whenever he gets a girlfriend, I don't know what he does. He
brings them over here all the time."
While Mr. BARBOZA said that the Cadillac parked in the garage
rarely gets driven, upstairs tenant Anabela
ALMEIDA said that
she had seen Ms.
ZARNOCH several times before and knew that Mr.
RODRIGUEZ often went to listen to the radio in the car.
"The girl stays at the house sometimes," said Ms.
ALMEIDA, who
had been living on the second floor of the two-storey home for
the past seven months.
The bodies have been taken to the coroner's office for autopsies
scheduled for today.

Tragic deaths shock teens
Students react to accidental deaths
By Rosie DIMANNO
Teenagers embrace and weep. Some are angry and direct that fury
at outsiders, anyone beyond the terrible closed circle of their
grief, their incomprehension.
What a wretched week it has been for students and faculty at
James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. They are in need
of tenderness and solace.
Already stunned and emotionally raw over the arrest of 14 black
male students charged with sexually assaulting or harassing a
white female teenager over a prolonged period -- police swooping
down to remove the youths on Monday, allegations of racism swirling
since -- these students were left reeling anew yesterday morning
upon learning that another one of their own had been found dead
in a car only a few hours earlier, apparently the victim of accidental
carbon monoxide poisoning.
The deceased is Anna
ZARNOCH, a 17-year-old girl in Grade 12,
reported missing by her parents the previous day. Her lifeless
body, along with that of a 22-year-old male, was discovered shortly
after 6 a.m. in a Cadillac parked inside the garage of a Lansdowne
Ave. home, where the young man resided with his family.
Autopsies were to be performed today but police believe this
awful tragedy was an accident. It appears the couple had fallen
asleep in the back seat of the vehicle, with the engine running.
The keys were still in the ignition but the car wasn't running
because it was out of gas by the time the gruesome discovery
was made.
Det.
Sgt.
Scott
GILBERT, of 13 Division, told the Star last night
that the young man's mother had seen the couple going into the
garage the night before. "She went back out at 1 a.m. to check
on them... but she didn't have any reason to think anything was
wrong."
The mother then went to bed. It wasn't until a friend of her
son came by early yesterday morning, to pick him up for work,
that the mother realized he wasn't in his room, sources say.
That's when the garage was checked again and the bodies found.
Police were called, arriving at about 6: 20 a.m.
It was all too, too much for students at McGuigan, a high school
on Finch Ave. just west of Keele St. Girls sobbed openly as they
mulled around the school's front entrance while teenage boys
puffed furiously on cigarettes and shouted "Go Away!" at reporters
arriving on the scene.
"Leave us alone!" several pleaded. "This is a terrible thing
that's happened. It's not news."
Alas, it is news, however unconnected the two occurrences --
the arrests and the accidental death -- may be. It is a hideous
coincidence or confluence of events, with many wondering what
in God's name this poor school has done to be so stricken by
calamity, with all the attendant media attention.
"I just saw her yesterday," said Elizabeth
OGUNBOYE, 14. "We
walked together right along this street. The next thing I know
she's dead. She was such a nice, a really nice, girl.
"First the arrests and then this."
It took considerable courage for any of the students to speak
with reporters, as other youths shouted at them to shut up, knock
it off. A few of the teenage boys and one extremely hostile girl
took it upon themselves to steer others away from reporters,
who were careful not to venture onto school property.
"Anger, sadness, shock," said Jessica
OPOKU, 14, describing the
atmosphere inside the school. "Oh my gosh, all the pain."
Added Nakisha
BEALS: "A lot of people are crying in there. Dozens
of people crying. It's so tragic. I feel so sorry for the family.
They didn't even know where she was, they'd been looking for
her."
And, from another student who would not give a name: "It's been
hell on Earth."
Students learned about the death of the 17-year-old girl shortly
after classes commenced. Faculty had been summoned to a staff
meeting where the principal is said to have broken the news.
Each teacher was given a sheet of paper that contained a picture
of the deceased and the few details then known, with instructions
to tell their students what had happened. It was decided, after
consultation with Catholic school board authorities, that this
would be more appropriate than announcing the death over the
public address speaker.
A fleet of grief counsellors descended -- enough to take every
class under wing. Later in the afternoon, with the school's flag
lowered to half-mast, a prayer service was held for the dead
girl.
"It is with great sadness that we confirm the untimely and accidental
tragic death of one of our students," Mary Joe
DEIGHEN, spokesperson
for the school board, told reporters, reading at first from a
prepared statement. "The staff and students of James Cardinal
McGuigan Catholic School have suffered a great loss.
"This school has been under a lot of media attention during the
past few days. I am asking and demanding that the press allow
this community to grieve quietly. This has been requested by
students and staff of this community.
"This accidental death is in no way, in no way, related or connected
to the previous experience... we've been experiencing at this
school."
DEIGHEN added: "They're grieving, they're hurt. We're hoping
to start a healing process. But it's going to take a long time."
Out of respect for the deceased, the school cancelled an academic
awards celebration -- 116 winners -- that had been scheduled
for last night.
It was only one more small way in which the lives of these students
have been overwhelmed by recent events. Unhappiness and volatile
resentment were already thick on the ground following the arrest
of the boys -- some of them athletes -- early in the week, after
a 16-year-old girl told a teacher, then the police, that she
had been sexually assaulted repeatedly since September 2004.
Those assaults allegedly occurred both on and off school property.
The boys, who were handcuffed in front of their peers when removed
from class or the corridors, spent the night in jail and all
were granted bail on Tuesday. Since then, much of the student
body appears to have closed rank around the male youths, with
appallingly little sympathy expressed for the alleged victim.
In this hard attitude towards the girl, the students seem to
be following a tone set by some parents of the accused. One mother,
after bailing out her son, complained loudly that the girl had
"been caught," suggesting she was a willing participant to whatever
transpired, as some sort of 16-year-old predator.
Several parents, fiercely protective of their sons, have also
lobbed accusations of racism and racial profiling by police,
because all the accused are black and the alleged victim is white.
Police adamantly deny this.
It seems not to have occurred to anyone that, if there were any
racism at work in this alleged matter, it might be of the reverse
variety -- a white girl allegedly victimized by a large number
of black youth.
Four were charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement
and 10 with criminal harassment. Two females have also been charged
with making threats. Because of their age, none can be identified.
Parents are also livid over how the arrests were conducted, claiming
they were not informed beforehand, with some further accusing
the school of not protecting their kids, permitting them to be
humiliated in front of other students. These issues were among
the subjects of a tense meeting with school and police officials
on Wednesday evening, attended by about 250 parents.
All the boys have been suspended from school and ordered to give
up their cellphones and pagers, pending trial. They will be permitted
to attend classes at any other school that might accept them.
The girl has not returned to class.
It doesn't take a scholar to see why.

Dottie WILSON
By David WILSON,
Friday,
November 25, 2005, Page A24
Hospice pioneer, stepmother, wife. Born September 16, 1923, in
Aurora, Ontario Died June 1 in Bayside, New York of heart failure,
aged 81.
Dottie WILSON fervently believed that the traditional practice
of forcing terminally ill patients through a gauntlet of pain
in their process of dying, in the unrealistic, faint hope of
miraculous recovery was morally indefensible, unnecessary and
barbaric. And so in 1974, she became captivated with the new
field of hospice and palliative-care medicine, just then being
introduced into Canada at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal
by Dr. Balfour Mount.
She immersed herself in the hospice movement, becoming the administrator
of the palliative care service at the Royal Victoria Hospital,
North America's first hospital-based hospice. In 1979, we left
Quebec and moved to Chevy Chase, Md., to work with Elm Services
Inc., one of the largest U.S. health care consulting firms. As
their hospice consultant, she worked internationally with local
health care organizations, teaching and encouraging hospice development.
In 1982, after completing a feasibility study of a hospice for
children at Saint Mary's Hospital for Children in Bayside, New
York Dottie was retained to oversee its design, construction
and startup. The facility became the first hospice for children
in the world. After its completion, she remained as its director
for five years until her retirement.
Born
Dorothy
Nettie
CLARKE in Aurora, Ontario, to Caroline and
Ernest CLARKE, she was the second of three children, between
older sister Mary Louise and younger brother Douglas.
Many years ago, I asked her father what he thought was the most
important thing about a sign for my new store. I was stunned
when he answered "that it not fall down." Yet it was fundamental,
down-to-earth and revealed his methodical, basic and practical
way of thinking. I believe that her father instilled that way
of looking at things into her.
After graduating with a degree in sociology from the University
of Toronto in 1946, she worked for several years with Dr. Perry
Culver at the Massachusetts General Hospital until she moved
to Montreal in 1951, where she became a systems and procedures
analyst for what was then the
RCA
Victor company. She then became
Canada's first female management consultant with the Montreal
accounting firm of Riddell, Stead, Graham and Hutchison.
In 1959, she married David
WILSON, a Montreal businessman and
later a psychoanalyst and group therapist in New York City. This
marriage was her second.
Dottie is remembered for her skill in empowering the infant dreams
of nascent startups in the health care field. Her expertise was
honed in guiding the development of her husband's many startup
projects.
After her retirement from Saint Mary's, Dottie helped Dr. Louis
Ormont create the Center for Group Studies. Ironically, Dottie
herself was forced into the gauntlet of severe pain by the development
of an excruciating ulcer during a recent hospitalization for
disorientation. She knew that common hospice protocols for wound
care might have avoided this tragedy, so, after weeks of pointless
suffering, and recognizing the hopelessness of her situation,
she chose to enter a local hospice program. She knew that the
hospice focus on the quality of life, rather than clinging to
life at any cost, would help her win the relief she deserved.
She is survived by her husband David
WILSON, her nephews Rory
CAMERON,
Gordon
CAMERON and David
CLARKE, and her nieces Susan
CAMERON, Margaret
McCUTCHEON, Wendy
ZAROWSKI and Sandra
RANA.
Stepsons David Andrew
WILSON, Daniel Thompson
WILSON and Douglas
S. WILSON will sorely miss her.
David is Dottie's husband.

Watch, don't run, riders told
Toronto Transit Commission, police launch safety drive for motorists,
pedestrians
Woman, 27, struck and killed by car while running for a bus
By Sikander Z.
HASHMI and Hilda
HOY,
Staff
Reporters
Take the time to check.
Tragically, that message -- part of a safety drive by Toronto
police and the Toronto Transit Commission this week -- came too
late for a young woman struck and killed in Scarborough just
hours before the launch of the campaign.
Bonnie HO, 26, was rushing to catch her bus just before 7 a.m.
yesterday. She reportedly ran against a red light from the southeast
corner of Steeles and Kelvin Grove Aves., near her home, and
was hit by a taxi.
Suffering massive head injuries,
HO was rushed to Sunnybrook
hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
In a one-week campaign aimed at preventing such accidents, officers
are paying particular attention to infractions by motorists,
cyclists and pedestrians that impede transit, especially around
bus and streetcar stops, high-occupancy vehicle lanes and Wheel
Trans vehicles.
Toronto police Sgt. Tony
LAWSON advises pedestrians to stay alert
and be cautious when stepping on to roads.
"Most fatalities involving pedestrians occur on the roadway,
not on sidewalks," he points out. "It's usually the pedestrian
rushing to something."
Most of the time, streetcar commuters have to step on to the
roadway when hopping on or off the Toronto Transit Commission.
One person a month is struck while leaving a streetcar, according
to Const. Barb
RYAN of the traffic safety program. But it's a
wonder the rate is that low, considering how many motorists don't
bother to stop behind open streetcar doors as the law requires.
"Toronto Transit Commission operators, themselves, report up
to 80 incidents a day where motor vehicles pass the open doors
of a streetcar, I guess in an attempt to race by,"
RYAN says.
"Those could all end up in injuries or a calamity of some description."
That's the reason the campaign is emphasizing streetcar safety,
she says, "because of the fact that they're not curbside."
At least one streetcar rider thinks that should be changed.
"It'd be nice to have (the streetcars) on the other side of the
street," says Vanessa
LEE, 26.
witnessing one rider being hit by a car was enough to persuade
Umar TURNER to make a habit to check not once, but twice, when
getting off a streetcar.
"I was right behind this lady," recalls the 26-year-old, "and
she stepped off. I guess she didn't really look and a car came
by and hit her.
"Because of that, every time I get off the streetcar, I always
make sure to double-check."
TURNER says he often sees the streetcar stop and cars speed by.
Lee ZASLOFSKY, 60, has also witnessed cars whizzing by open streetcar
doors but hasn't seen anyone get hit. He welcomes the awareness
campaign, saying drivers need a reminder to be careful.
"I'm glad the police are doing this," he said while waiting for
a streetcar at the corner of Yonge and Queen Sts.
"The people getting off are completely innocent. They may be
a little careless, but the penalty could be death, whereas the
guy in the car has a lifetime of guilt."
RYAN urges commuters to just take a moment to make sure they're
not stepping directly into the path of an oncoming car. "Take
that extra second... to check before you're going to jump into
a live lane of traffic."
She has a piece of advice for drivers as well: "If you're a motorist...
give them an extra second, because lots of times, people change
their minds. They're on, then they want to get off, and the Toronto
Transit Commission vehicle may have to come to a sudden stop."
Lisa TAILOR/TAYLOR, who was waiting for the Queen streetcar yesterday,
recently saw a man nearly hit by a car as he was leaving the
streetcar.
"The drivers here in Toronto... are very erratic," says
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
33. "They don't look where they're going."
If the risk to innocent pedestrians isn't enough to convince
motorists to be more careful, the penalty for being careless
should. Passing an open streetcar door can set you back at least
$110, plus three demerit points.
