DITCHBURN,
Olive
Myrtle (née
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON)
Passed away peacefully on October 25, 2005 at Lions Gate Hospital
in North Vancouver, just before her 87th birthday. Born in Toronto
on November 14, 1918, Ollie lived an extraordinarily full life.
Her childhood was rough and ready, being raised by her widowed
father with four brothers during the Depression. Against the
odds, Ollie finished high school and went on to enjoy the working
life, making many lifelong girlfriends along the way. After the
war she married her Centre Island sweetheart, Fred (Joe)
DITCHBURN.
Fred was a newly qualified doctor and his career brought the
family west. Their migration took them to Edmonton, Alberta and
Salmo, British Columbia before they finally settled on the misty
shores of Indian Arm. Ollie and Fred raised four children there.
Their adventures included family camping expeditions with the
ingenious car top tent, road trips through Canada, the U.S. and
Mexico, skiing the North Shore mountains and sailing the Pacific
waters. Ollie will be greatly missed by her husband, Fred, sons
Phillip, Jim and Ross, daughter Janet, grandchildren Jordan,
Jade, Lily, Ian and Julian and her brother Vic
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON. Please
join us for a celebration of Ollie's joyful life at the Deep
Cove Yacht Club on Tuesday, November 1 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers
please make donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of British
Columbia.

'He died as a man. He died as a friend'
The Victim, Father, role model, passionate reggae dancer, Amon
BECKLES was a centrepiece in his family
By Jessica
LEEDER and Dale Anne
FREED
Staff▼
Reporters▼
Amon BECKLES was a star reggae dancer with dreams of going professional,
a daddy to an 18-month-old daughter, and a Central Tech student
on the brink of adult life.
To his four younger siblings, who grew up in awe of everything
from his PlayStation and basketball prowess to his addiction
to mayonnaise "sangwiches", he was a family centrepiece.
"He was a role model in my life," one brother said.
The likeable 18-year-old's dreams were cut short Friday when
he was shot in the neck just outside the Toronto West Seventh-day
Adventist Church on Albion Rd. where he had come to mourn his
best friend, Jamal
HEMMINGS, 17, his reggae partner and a homicide
victim.
Nadia BECKLES,
Amon's▼ mother, was in the church when she heard
gunshots. "I didn't know it was my son," she said. "I just heard
somebody say his name."
A day later, she's planning for his funeral.
"I want them to know his death will not go in vain. He died as
a man. He died as a friend."
BECKLES's family, gathered to mourn their own in the cramped
living room of his grandmother's west Toronto house last night,
spoke out on the condition none of their names be used. But not
because they're scared. "We are handling it in our own way,"
said an aunt. "I don't know what to think right now. I'm in shock."
Even▼ in his absence,
BECKLES brought laughter to his family,
many of whom grew up dancing at his side in a group run by two
aunts called No Mercy.
"We'd dance in the gym, outside, in the back streets, everywhere,"
said one of
BECKLES's cousins. "We loved to dance. We'd do it
instead of doing nothing. We're still close as a family. Since
the death happened, we're just..." she trailed off.
The▼ teen was with her cousin at
HEMMINGS's funeral. She said
HEMMINGS was "pretty much a part of our family" and grew up dancing
reggae with them.
"Jamal and Amon were best Friends; wherever Jamal was, you'd
find Amon. They were like brothers," said Jamal's father, Michael
HEMMINGS.
BECKLES was with
HEMMINGS the night of November 9 when
HEMMINGS
was fatally shot, said Det. Sgt. Mario
DITOMMASO.
Just▼ over a
week later,
BECKLES himself became a homicide statistic -- number
69 for the year -- gunned down outside the church where he'd
gone to mourn his friend.
"Friends of his were trying to give him cardio-pulmonary resuscitation,"
said Const. Ewan
MacLEOD, who arrived on scene just before 1
p.m. Friday.
Minutes▼ before Pastor Andrew
KING began the funeral service,
he said he was told "shooters are in the church."
Even▼ though
KING knew there could be violence, he decided not
to call police on advice from members of a community housing
group who gave him the grim news, he told the Star.
"Two people from the community housing group came up and whispered
to me that shooters were in the church,"
KING said yesterday
outside a church service held at a nearby high school while forensic
identification officers finished their probe of his Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
He said he and the housing workers spoke about what to do. "They
advised me not to call the police. I was apprehensive."
But KING thought they would all be safe inside the church. "We
were terrified of the situation but we put our safety in the
Lord Jesus Christ and we were protected.
"At the end of the service I realized there were guns in the
church, more than I'd like to know. At lot of people were in
there packing (guns)."
Suddenly the church filled with "popping noises," the sound of
gunfire, the pastor recalled. "All of a sudden there was pandemonium.
We realized someone had been gunned down outside the church.
"We asked everyone to lie down quietly inside the sanctuary and
not to move. We didn't know what was going on outside," he said.
"I was looking at a casket in front of me. I realized there's
another dead person outside the front of the church."
Det. Colin
RAY said
KING should have called police. "If he knew
ahead of time there were guns in the church -- guns can only
lead to disaster -- he should have called police."
BECKLES's grandmother said police "failed my grand_son. They can't
correct that failure. He's dead.
"Anybody with any kind of sense at all would know there should
have been somebody (from the police) there. In my opinion they
did not serve and protect my grand_son."
Police▼
Chief▼
Bill▼ Blair said
BECKLES had spoken to homicide officers
about HEMMINGS's slaying, but said police had no reason to believe
the man was at any risk. "There was no indication that he was
attending that funeral service or that he was at any risk, otherwise
steps would have been taken."
Blair's spokesman Mark Pugash could not say if police will attend
BECKLES's funeral. "Assessments are made in each case on what
is necessary. Clearly one of our greatest concerns... is protecting
public safety."
BECKLES's family said yesterday they believe he died simply because
he knew what happened the night
HEMMINGS was shot.
"They've▼ got who they wanted,"
BECKLES's grandmother said, adding
she does not know if her grand_son knew the shooter's identity.
But she did offer one guarantee: "There was absolutely no gang
activity. None."
Police▼ confirmed yesterday that
BECKLES was a "potential material
witness" to
HEMMINGS's killing. But
DITOMMASO said he was more
than a witness: police had also been looking into
BECKLES's own
activities. He was known to police and was "the subject of an
ongoing investigation,"
DITOMMASO said, adding the teen was interviewed
once after
HEMMINGS's death.
"His▼ information was not very accurate,"
DITOMASSO said.
"If he had been more forthcoming to police, it's entirely possible
the people responsible for the original homicide (of
HEMMINGS)
would have been arrested," said Pugash.
Although the shooting occurred in the heart of Crips gang territory
DITOMMASO said the death was not gang related.
DITOMMASO said police have narrowed witnesses' descriptions to
a single suspect. He was described as wearing a three-quarter-length
blue, hooded coat, a dark baseball cap and dark pants.
