ANDERSON, William Lindsay " Bill"
Born April 24, 1924 in Edmonton, Alberta, passed away unexpectedly on June 24, 2005. A youthful 81 year old, Bill will be greatly missed by his wife Ilse, sisters Mary-Joan (Al COVEY) and Lindsay (Bob GRINDLEY,) three children Lyn, Rob, and Lara, step-children David and Janet, sons-in-law Mike, Rob and Dan, and daughters-in-law Cher, Trena and Meg. He also leaves behind 8 grandchildren, Erin, Laurel, Tillie, Alex, Jordan, Alana, Eliza, and Pia. Bill grew up in Edmonton, attending High School and then the University of Alberta, receiving a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and later an M.B.A. from the University of Michigan. He worked for Imperial Oil in Sarnia, Ontario before returning to Edmonton to run his father's lumber business, Anderson Lumber Company (reformed Canadian Conifer Ltd.) at the age of 28. In 1965 Bill joined the multinational Reichhold Chemical Inc and moved his family to West Vancouver where they lived for the next 20 years. In the early 1980s, Bill left Reichhold to return to the resource sector with Alberta Energy Corporation where he was Director of Corporate Development (Acquisitions and Mergers). Bill then pursued the field of business consolidations and consulting work with a number of important companies, including Cornat Industries, Bennett Pollution Control (now Bennett Environmental) and Versatile Corporation. By the late 1980s and wanting greater professional independence, Bill formed his own corporate business brokerage which was active in the challenging area of mergers and acquisitions. This eventually led to the creation of AMAC Consultants Inc, where he and partner John McARTHUR became the industry leaders in insurance company acquisitions and consolidations. By the time of his retirement in 2002, Bill ANDERSON was acknowledged universally as the expert in his field. Beyond this impressive professional record, Bill ANDERSON was devoted to his community through public service. While in Edmonton, he was an active member of the Rotary Club, Chairman of the Edmonton Parks and Recreation Board, City Alderman, and a director of the Edmonton Eskimos Football Club. While in Vancouver, Bill continued his community ser vice with the Rotary Club and served as a director of Metro Transit during the construction of the Skytrain system. Bill was an important figure in the early history of the Whistler Mountain resort. He built a vacation home there in 1966, at a time when the community was small, intimate and diverse; Bill was one of a handful of community leaders at Whistler who helped create the needed institutions in the area, especially the Whistler Skiers' Chapel where he served as Chairman. Bill loved life and lived his life to the fullest. He was a keen sportsman, an enthusiast supporter of the Canadian Football League, especially his beloved Eskimos and an avid skier. Bill skied every run in Western Canada and the United States, and his final time on skis occurred in the company of his grandchildren just before his 80th birthday. Bill also loved to travel. He and Ilse made trips to Europe, too many to count, and were yearly winter migrants to Mexico. Bill was devoted to family and will be missed by the growing legacy he leaves behind. Service to be held at Saint John's Anglican Church, 1490 Nanton Street (27th and Granville), 8 July 2 p.m. Reception follows at Shaughnessy Restaurant (Van Deusen Gardens), 5251 Oak Street, Vancouver, 3-5 p.m.

Carmen PROVENZANO, Lawyer And Politician 1942-2005
The former member of Parliament from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and son of a steelmaker fought to save Algoma Steel when others thought it a lost cause
By Allison LAWLOR, Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, August 19, 2005, Page S7
He was a hard-working Liberal member of Parliament from Northern Ontario who listened to his electorate. He openly opposed gay marriage long before it became a hot-button issue and, as the son of a steelmaker, struggled mightily to save Algoma Steel from financial oblivion. "I'm going to reflect the wishes of my community," Carmen PROVENZANO once told a reporter. "I'm obligated to handle it that way."
The native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, was one of the minority Liberal members of Parliament who voted against his party's same-sex-marriage bill. In 1999, he presented a petition to the House of Commons signed by 250 constituents who opposed the initiative.
"I have people expressing their opinions to me in quite forceful ways," he said. "They're telling me they're never going to vote for me again because of what my government is doing."
At the time, a neighbour and long-time party member had told the member of Parliament that "your government is ruining society" and warned that he wouldn't put up a Liberal lawn sign in the next election.
Despite taking a minority stance within his party, Mr. PROVENZANO always believed he had done the right thing. "He often said he would vote the same way again," said Liberal member of Parliament Joe COMUZZI.
Mr. PROVENZANO served as Sault Ste. Marie's member of Parliament from 1997 to 2004, when he lost his seat in a close race to New Democrat Tony MARTIN. It would have been a third term for the popular parliamentarian, whose loss may have been explained by his opponent's name. In fact, during last year's campaign, he chose not to hammer Team Martin signs into the front lawns of his supporters. It's not that he wanted to distance himself from Prime Minister Paul Martin, but rather from Tony MARTIN, a former member of provincial parliament who had lost his seat in the 2003 Ontario election.
"You know I would be papering the city with my opponent's name," Mr. PROVENZANO said, if he were to put up Team Martin signs. "I want to get my own name out there."
In the end, Sault Ste. Marie remained true to character as a swing riding, and Mr. PROVENZANO was defeated. But he didn't allow himself to wallow in misery; he set his sights on running for the Liberal Party again in the next federal election.
"He had a great respect for Sault Ste. Marie and its people," said Mr. COMUZZI, who represents the Northern Ontario riding of Thunder Bay-Superior North.
Described as modest and unassuming, Mr. PROVENZANO was also known for his tenacity.
"We argued a lot," said Mr. COMUZZI, who, as minister of state responsible for the federal economic development initiative for Northern Ontario, received daily calls from his colleague. "He was incessant with his requests."
Mr. COMUZZI recalled Mr. PROVENZANO saying: 'Look, if you get this done for me, I won't ask you for anything else.' " Despite the promise, he'd come knocking again a couple of weeks later. "He was so persistent. If he didn't get a good ear, he would eventually end up in the Prime Minister's office."
Paul MARTIN called Mr. PROVENZANO a man who upheld the best in parliamentary tradition.
"His aim was to serve the best he could the needs of his community and constituents," he said in a statement. "Mr. PROVENZANO was proud to be a member of Parliament, serving on a number of parliamentary committees and as parliamentary secretary to the minister of veterans affairs. He was proud, too, to be the son of a steelworker and a native of Sault Ste. Marie, and immensely proud of his family."
Carmen PROVENZANO was the son of Frank and Norma PROVENZANO. A second-generation Italian Canadian, his grandparents had settled in Sault Ste. Marie, which was once seen as a haven for Italian immigrants. Proud of his cultural heritage, he was also proud to say he was the son of a steelmaker. His father worked for Algoma Steel and, as a student, Mr. PROVENZANO would join him during the summers to work at the plant.
Having grown up in Sault Ste. Marie, he appreciated the company's economic importance. When Algoma teetered on collapse in April of 2001 and sought protection from its creditors, he understood the devastation that would ensue in the city and worked hard to get Algoma back on its feet. He is credited with playing a major role in the steel plant's restructuring and in securing $50-million in loan guarantees from the federal government to ensure its viability. He badgered Jean CHRÉTIEN until he got the loan secured, said Ron IRWIN, former Indian affairs minister. "At that time, no one had any hopes for Algoma."
Algoma weathered the storms, emerged from creditor protection in early 2002 and today employs 3,000 people.
As it happens, it was Mr. IRWIN, former member of Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie, who encouraged Mr. PROVENZANO to run for office. In 1997, he decided to retire from federal politics and saw in Mr. PROVENZANO a "solid family man" who would represent the city well. While politics had been a lifelong dream, Mr. PROVENZANO delayed his entry because he didn't want to be far away from his family and four young children.
"His family came first," said Mr. IRWIN. "And his Friends were a close second."
At the heart and soul of Mr. PROVENZANO's family was his wife, Ada. Chance had brought them together. It was at a community parade in Sault Ste. Marie that Mr. PROVENZANO had first spotted her and later said he knew immediately that she would be his wife. "It was love at first sight," said son Lucas PROVENZANO.
After a courtship of two years, the couple married in 1966 and, over the years, filled their home with children, extended family and Friends. It wasn't uncommon to find Mr. PROVENZANO sitting down at 11 p.m. to a meal with a dozen people. "His family was an extended family. It was the community," said son Frank PROVENZANO.
One of the ways he helped others in the community was by often opting out of flying home from Ottawa on weekends and making the 10-hour drive, instead. There always seemed to be someone who needed a ride; his driving companions were often university students on their way home.
Mr. PROVENZANO attended the University of Windsor, followed by law school at Queen's University in Kingston. He spent the early years of his career, from 1972 to 1980, as an assistant solicitor for the city of Sault Ste. Marie. Later, he had a private practice with his brother Frank and was an owner of Maplewood Golf Course. Over the years, he also served on a number of local charities and boards and as a school board trustee. Attend any sporting event in the city and you were likely to see him there, too. "My father was involved in every aspect of this community," said Lucas PROVENZANO.
His pride in his ancestry was never more evident than when he took part in a federal trade mission to Italy in the late 1990s. Having the opportunity to travel as an member of Parliament to the country his grandparents had left as poor immigrants and to meet the Pope and Italian parliamentarians struck a deep cord within him. "He was very proud of how far his family had come in three generations," Mr. IRWIN said.
Carmen PROVENZANO was born on February 3, 1942, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario He died at home in Sault Ste. Marie on July 27, 2005, after suffering a heart attack. He is survived by his siblings Frank, Marlene and Nancy and by his wife, Ada, and children Frank, Lucas, Jana and Mark. Tomorrow, in Hockley Valley, Ontario, Mark is to marry Paula AMAEIO, of Tottingham, Ontario, just as his father would have wanted.

Teen dies in Peel park ambush
By Jim WILKES, Staff Reporter
Dwayne LLOYD didn't stand a chance.
Desperately leaping over a fence to seek the shelter of a backyard, the 17-year-old Brampton youth was cut down in a hail of at least five bullets Saturday night from a gunman who fired repeatedly from a clump of evergreens at the edge of a neighbourhood park.
LLOYD fell to the lawn, where he died in the grass.
A 21-year-old pal was shot in the leg as he fled the park, but was able to limp into the subdivision before collapsing in a pool of blood in a driveway up the street. He's recovering from his wounds at William Osler Health Centre.
LLOYD's slaying was Peel's third homicide this year.
"I was freaking out," said Joanne ROTATORE, a mother of two, with a third on the way, whose home borders Dixie/Sandalwood Park, in the Bovaird Dr. and Dixie Rd. area of north-end Brampton.
"I was asleep, I heard gunshots and it woke me up."
The teen was slain after spending the day with Friends watching a three-on-three basketball tournament at nearby Harold M. Brathwaite Secondary School.
Police said LLOYD and his buddies were riding their bikes through the park about 10: 30 p.m. when they were fired upon at close range by a gunman hiding in the trees.
Peel police forensic officers used coloured strings to chart the trajectory of bullets from the evergreens, where shell casings were found, into backyards of homes in the quiet neighbourhood along Loons Call Cres.
Bullet strikes were found on fence posts and on parts of chainlink fencing, which was stripped of its plastic coating and twisted by one shot.
"I had a feeling that sooner or later, something like this was going to happen," ROTATORE said. "Ever since they built that high school (18 months ago), there have been gang fights and other stuff out there.
"To be honest with you, I'm shocked, but I'm not surprised."
While neighbours gathered in small clutches up the street, Peel officers marched side by side across a soccer pitch in the park, searching for clues to the shootings.
Forensic officers used a metal detector to recover bullets from the lawns of adjacent homes.
Some neighbours feared that gangs might be responsible for the attack.
Down the park pathway that winds out to Dixie Rd., wooden fences are spray-painted with gang markings and other symbols of an underworld of violence. Some have been X-ed out in an attempt to reclaim territory for the other side.
The shooting, said Jacinto AMARAL, whose home borders the park, was "scary."
AMARAL, his wife, two kids and his mother-in-law were watching television when the gunfire erupted. He told them all to duck for cover and was surprised by the eerie silence that followed the shootings.
"That's just crazy," AMARAL said of the ease with which young people seem to get guns. It's just ridiculous how easily accessible it is to them. It opens our eyes, that's for sure."
Eight houses up the street, Giancarlo SODA was watering his grass when he heard gunshots, then ran out front to see a young man lying in a neighbour's driveway, bleeding from the leg and screaming.
"It's a safe neighbourhood, but now you feel scared, you want to keep your kids inside," the 38-year-old father of two said.
Neighbour Pat MARCELLO watched police try to calm the wounded man and said he felt sympathy for the victims.
"He was screaming, moaning, he was in pain," said MARCELLO, 32. "And another kid was screaming that his brother had been shot.
"They're 17 years old, their whole lives ahead of them."
He said he's witnessed fights in the park behind the high school, including a recent brawl involving six teens with a crowd of hundreds egging them on.
"These kids were cheering them like animals," he recalled.
"They were enjoying it, they were loving it.
"I was disgusted."
An autopsy was planned for today.
Homicide detectives interviewed several people yesterday but were still trying to learn what provoked the attack.

AMATO DI CAMPOLEVRINI, Lanfranco (1922-2005)
Passed away peacefully, at his home in Toronto, on Monday, February 14, 2005, after a determined battle with cancer. Lanfranco is survived, and will forever be loved, by Liliana (CONTE,) his devoted wife of more than fifty years, his grieving son and daughter-in-law, Sergio and Lucy (Lake Forest, Illinois), his adoring grandchildren, Lilly, James and Finley, who missed Nonno's never-ending kisses and bear-hugs terribly, his sisters Laura and Maria Teresa and families and his brother-in-law Renato and sister-in-law Maria CRISTINA and families. He is pre-deceased by his brother, Salvatore.
Lanfranco was a generous, optimistic and gentle soul blessed with a wonderful sense of humour. He deeply loved his family, cherished his countless Friends and developed a respect for his adopted country, its citizens and way of life, which rivaled his feelings for his homeland. He taught his son all that is important in life and set for him an enduring example, which is proving impossible to follow. He did not know a stranger - he made Friends with everyone he met. He was an avid reader, a master of the crossword puzzle and an enthusiastic cheerleader at his grandchildren's varied athletic events. He leaves behind a chasm in our hearts.
Born in Rovereto, Italy on April 19, 1922, son of Giuseppe and Adile (VALDAGNI) AMATO, Lanfranco was educated in Milan. He served with honour and distinction during World War 2 with the Italian Army as Lieutenant of the 1st Regiment of Grenadiers and with the U.S. Army from September 1943; mentioned in dispatches by General Sir Harold Alexander. Lanfranco enjoyed a long and accomplished international business career, dominated by his experience with Olivetti (1950-1977). This included marketing, operations and senior management assignments in Europe, Asia, Africa and Canada, culminating in his appointment as President and G.M (1966) and Chairman of the Board (1973) of Olivetti Canada. After retiring from Olivetti, he joined Bregman and Hamann Architects as Director of New Business Development, then founded Riello Canada, Inc. and Riello Corp. of America, heading both as Chairman of the Board. Directorships included Four Seasons Hotels, Banca Commerciale Italiana of Canada, Gerling Insurance, Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Italian Chamber of Commerce (past President, 1963-1966), Canadian Opera Company, Toronto Symphony and Ontario Council for the Arts. Honours included Order of Canada, Knight of Obedience of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Knight Commander of the Military Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, Knight of Corona d'Italia and Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy.
Visitation at 9: 30 a.m. and funeral service at 10:30 a.m. will be held at Holy Rosary Church, 354 St. Clair Avenue, Toronto, on Thursday, February 17th. Cremation. Private interment at Lake Forest Cemetery (Illinois). If desired, and with our gratitude, memorial donations may be made in lieu of flowers to the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, 600 University Avenue, Toronto M5G 1X5.
