BAYES,

Allan
A beloved husband, brother, father, uncle, grandfather and friend
passed suddenly Monday evening at the age of 58. Born in Toronto,
he was a son of the late Allan and Jean
(PALMER)
BAYES. "
Richie"
was a teacher by trade whose zest and enthusiasm for life was
passed to all who sat in his classroom. He was also an excellent
hockey player, starring with the Saint Mary's University Huskies,
Toronto Marlies and the Canadian National Team during his younger
years and rounding out his career with the Truro Bearcats Oldtimers.
He later passed down his knowledge and skills to the next generation
while acting as a coach for Truro Area Minor Hockey. He was a
man who loved Fridays more than anyone and a Friday's experience
could only be enhanced by a steak and draught at the Midtown
tavern. His favorite times of year were March break and summer
during which he would travel with the "regular crew" to an exotic
All-Inclusive resort. Richie was well known and liked everywhere
he went. He will be missed and remembered by all who were lucky
enough to have met him. He is survived by his wife, Judy

Falling trees kill two in fierce storm
By Staff and News Services, Wed., July 19, 2006
A mother of three crushed by a tree as she slept next to her
husband and children was one of two people killed in a vicious
storm that knifed through Ontario and into Quebec late Monday,
cutting power to about a quarter of a million people and causing
tens of millions of dollars worth of damage, authorities said
yesterday.
The fierce storm, which packed ferocious winds, lashing rain
and intense lightning, smashed windows, barns and sheds, peeled
off roofs, destroyed trees, closed highways and downed scores
of hydro poles.
"It sounded just like a freight train," said Don
COTTON of Manitoulin
Island, where about 30,000 people were blacked out.
"(It) lasted for maybe two minutes and the noise stopped."
In Ontario, about 90,000 customers were still without power last
night, down from 170,000 people in the morning.
About 70,000 Quebecers were in the same straits as of noon.
Hydro
One spokesperson Daffyd
RODERICK said power probably wouldn't
be restored to the hardest-hit areas, such as Newmarket, Peterborough,
Sudbury and North Bay, until tomorrow.
Amid the destruction and spotty phone service, the mayors of
West Nipissing, Callander and Mattawa, about five hours north
of Toronto, all declared states of emergency.
Farther east, at a conservation area near Peterborough in central
Ontario, the intense fast-moving storm brought tragedy to a family
of campers from Guelph.
As the storm approached the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area, Louise
CLAYTON, 42, whisked her three children, aged eight, 10, and
12, from a tent they were in to sleep with her and her husband,
John, in their soft-top tent trailer, said Ontario Provincial
Police
Const.
Iain
McEWAN.
"Some time around 11 o'clock, the husband said he was awakened
by a loud bang and the canvas collapsed around him," said
McEWAN.
"He called for his wife (and) he was unable to get a response."
Unable to find her, John
CLAYTON rushed with the children to
a nearby home to alert emergency officials, who found his wife
crushed under an uprooted poplar tree.
Ontario Provincial Police also blamed the storm for the death
of Jeff GRAY/GREY, 26, of Michigan, who was killed when a tree fell
on his tent in Algonquin Provincial Park.
A second person in the tent, Aaron
LEBOVICK, 19, also of Michigan,
suffered serious injuries.
In Southwestern Ontario, some residents may be without power
for another couple of days, Hydro One officials said.
In Perth County, police responded to 15 calls as a result of
fallen trees and power lines blocking roads.
A car and a pickup truck struck trees on the road, leaving one
driver with minor injuries.

Family says farewell to slain couple
'You shouldn't have to defend your name,' niece says, reacting
to Mexican allegations
By Jeff GRAY/GREY with a report from Timothy
APPLEBY and Canadian
PRESS,
Page A9
Woodbridge, Ontario -- At a funeral in front of hundreds of mourners,
the grieving niece of the suburban Toronto couple found slain
in their Mexican hotel room said her uncle should not have to
defend his name from beyond the grave.
"At this time, you shouldn't have to defend your name," Rosanna
IANIERO said in a eulogy at St. Clare of Assisi Church in Woodbridge,
addressing the late Domenico
IANIERO. "… There is only goodness
attached to it."
Her remarks, made in a brief, emotional speech about the
IANIEROs,
grandparents from Woodbridge whom she described as loving and
caring, appeared meant to respond to reports that Mexican investigators
have suggested the victims may have had links to "illicit activities."
On February 20, Mr.
IANIERO, a 59-year-old real-estate agent,
and his 55-year-old wife, Annunziata, were found with their throats
slit at an upscale Mayan Riviera resort near Cancun where their
daughter, Lily, was to have married on the beach.
While initially suspecting two Canadian women staying at the
hotel, Mexican investigators have shifted their focus to the
family and to people who knew the victims. York Regional Police
have been asked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who are
working with Mexican authorities, to assist in the investigation,
and say they hope to start interviewing the 16-member wedding
party today. Others may be questioned as well.
As recently as Friday, Mexican lead prosecutor Bello Melchor
Rodriguez y Carrillo suggested that the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police had said "the slain person had ties with illicit activities."
The Mounties have said they have no evidence to link Mr. and
Mrs. IANIERO to organized crime.
Yesterday began with a ceremony at a funeral home. Outside, as
pallbearers prepared to lift the two wooden coffins into waiting
hearses, two white doves were released from a wicker basket to
symbolize the couple's souls ascending to heaven, followed by
the release of two dozen more doves meant to symbolize their
Friends and family.
Later, outside the large, recently constructed church, more than
a dozen television cameras and newspaper photographers with stepstools
and telephoto lenses captured mourners as they arrived.
More than 300 people filed into the church for the hour-long
service. The immediate family sat up front. son Anthony
IANIERO,
who spoke to the media after the killings, and his wife were
the first to take communion.
The couple's niece, a slender blond woman in a black dress and
the only direct member of the family to speak at the ceremony,
said that the
IANIEROs "dedicated their lives to the well-being
of their children" and touched many lives with their kindness.
"They loved nothing more than to be in a room filled with music,
laughter and the people they cared about," she said.
She described her aunt as an angel, her voice cracking: "I will
never forget how you loved my son… as though he was your own."
The slain couple, married for 37 years, had been "graceful" when
they danced. They both had been born in Italy but met in Canada
in 1964 after their families immigrated. They were married in
1968, and had one son and three daughters.
During the service, Reverend John
BOREAN alluded to the tragic nature
of the couple's deaths, and urged mourners to remember the Christian
ideal of forgiveness.
"I think we need to put forgiveness in our hearts for those people
who would have committed such a crime," he said, adding that
the criminals must be prevented from killing again.
Outside the church, however, many said the path to reconciliation
would be difficult to forge.
"We really celebrate the lives of two people today, but hopefully
one day we'll also celebrate justice," Liberal member of Parliament
Maurizio BEVILACQUA, who represents the riding of Vaughan, where
Woodbridge is located, said after the service.
There has been intense scrutiny of the Mexican authorities' handling
of the case. Witnesses: at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort at the
time of the killing have raised concerns about the professionalism
of the Mexican police, some alleging that the crime scene was
contaminated. Mexican authorities had suggested two Thunder Bay
women were the killers, but no longer see them as suspects, sources
say.
Peter Van Loan, parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister
Peter MacKay, attended the funeral and told reporters he was
satisfied with the investigation's progress.
York
Police
Inspector Les
YOUNG, who attended the funeral in
uniform, said the family is anxious to speak with police about
the case. "They're very concerned about the rumours and innuendoes,"
he said.

son of Eric
C. PUTTOCK and Mary Wilson
COOK,
Nigel was born in Horsham, Sussex
in 1927, educated at Oundle School, Northamptonshire and Clare
College, Cambridge. After serving with the Royal Air Force and
Royal Air Force Vol. Reserve 1946-54 and beginning his career
with Transparent Paper Ltd, he emigrated to Canada with his bride
and growing family in 1957. Here his family and career thrived
as he spent the next 20 years in management positions in the
building materials manufacturing industry. He was president of
Westroc Industries, Director of British Plasterboard, and served
as a director of the National Home Builders Association of Canada.
Following this Nigel chose a less travelled career path in residential
real estate in the Oakville area as agent, broker and business
partner. A long time member of the Oakville Club, Nigel's interests
in squash, tennis, boating and music kept him active and his
Friends entertained. Nigel also applied his engineering experience
and technical aptitude to model railroading. He will long be
remembered for the family parties he and Babs hosted with games
and activities for all ages. As his disease progressed Nigel
lost his joie de vivre and slowly withdrew from social activities.
Nigel and Babs have been residing quietly in Milton for several
years. Following Nigel's wishes, he has been cremated and a memorial
service and suitable send off will be arranged when his snowbird
Friends have returned. Donations may be made in his memory to
the Victorian Order of Nurses Canada Foundation.

By Oliver MOORE,
Page M6
For decades, secrecy laws prevented Peggy
GRAY/GREY from telling even
her husband the details of her wartime role with the code breakers
at Bletchley Park.
Only long after the Second World War could they hear the full
story of her work among the best British brains of the day, the
so-called Bletchley Boffins, who cracked the German Enigma code.
But even then she barely discussed her wartime service, said
her daughter, Wendy
COOK.
Ms. GRAY/GREY signed up in 1942 and became a petty officer with the
Women's Royal Navy Service, in charge of several other W.R.E.N.S.
stationed at Bletchley Park, testing the various code combinations
the cryptologists came up with.
In London for a dance during the war, she met Donald T.
GRAY/GREY,
a Canadian serving with the Royal Air Force. They were married
in 1945 and she moved to Toronto as a war bride.
Ms. COOK said her mother was an avid golfer and shopper who enjoyed
playing cards with her faithful bridge circle and liked to do
crosswords, the bigger the better.
"The Christmas crossword, that was a red-letter day for her,"
remembers Ms.
COOK, the younger of the family's two children.
"She was a stay-at-home mom, but was a very dedicated volunteer
with the Canadian Cancer Society."
Ms. GRAY/GREY kept her home in North York for several years after
her husband died in 1990, resisting the idea of a seniors' residence.
"Then, of her own volition, she decided to go to an assisted-care
home," Ms.
COOK said. "The one thing she always said was that
there were too many old people there -- she preferred young people."
Ms. GRAY/GREY died on May 26 after a period of decline. She was 87.

Mary▲▼ "
Peggy▲" (née
BARNES)
By Donna DENISON,
Page
A22
Wren, war bride, volunteer, mother. Born on October 23, 1918,
in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Died on May 26
in Markham, Ontario, of natural causes, aged 87.
Peggy BARNES -- no one used her given name, Mary -- was the youngest
of four children in a prosperous family in England's East Midlands.
As a child, Peggy was an obvious choice to walk the household's
assorted corgis and Great Danes. She was also a suitable target
for her older brothers to toss into the rhododendron bush on
occasion. After attending local schools, she kept the books for
local businesses and then began nursing training.
Ordinarily, Peggy would have expected to celebrate her 21st birthday
with a big party and dance, and maybe with the family's gift
of the sporty MG she longed for. But she turned 21 in October,
1939, so no such celebration was possible. These were not ordinary
times, for Britain was at war.
Peggy responded by enlisting in the Women's Royal Naval Service,
exchanging party dresses and a nurse's uniform for the navy blue
of the "Wrens." Her duties during wartime were top secret, and
for 40 years afterward, she maintained her oath of silence about
them.
Peggy was assigned to Bletchley Park, home of the "Ultra" secret.
Here, at a vast estate north of London, the Enigma machines,
which were early computers, secretly decoded Nazi Germany's strategic
messages. Mathematicians, code breakers and more than 1,000 Wrens
acting as clerks lived and worked at Bletchley. Petty Officer
Peggy BARNES was in charge of a group of these Wrens.
Not until their reunion in 1985 were the Wrens at last permitted
to speak of their activities at the heart of the Allied war effort.
Until then, not even Peg's husband knew how she had served.
Bletchley Park had attractions for a young Wren from the Midlands,
including the fact that London was nearby. At a dance in London,
Peggy met a Canadian, a flight lieutenant who had enlisted in
the Royal Air Force because he was too young to join the Royal
Canadian Air Force. In 1945, in the parish church of Sutton-in-Ashfield,
Peggy BARNES of Nottinghamshire married Donald T.
GRAY/GREY of Toronto,
and her life changed forever.
As a British war bride in Toronto, Peggy soon put down Canadian
roots, deepened by the arrivals of son Peter and daughter Wendy.
Along with an active family life, Peggy developed her interest
in community service. A cancer survivor from her early 30s, she
devoted countless volunteer hours to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Her contribution as volunteer led to her receiving an Ontario
government award in recognition of her exceptional service.
Her hospitality was notable. A lively, gracious and generous
hostess, Peg was also an excellent cook. She especially enjoyed
spending time with young people, often viewing her role with
them as mentor and coach.
Peggy had panache. She was always beautifully dressed and groomed,
her suits and hats elegant and carefully chosen, her shoes her
passion -- and she loved a party. She enjoyed the limelight,
and belted out Hello Dolly, her signature tune, on many occasions.
To her grandchildren, she was kind of cool, ahead of her time,
an extreme grandma more likely to teach them how to mix a perfect
highball than to serve milk and cookies.
Peggy maintained high standards, both for herself and others.
She provided an example of service, stylishness and the importance
of life's grace notes. She was fun, a vibrant presence, a memorable
character, original in outlook and experience. We whose lives
she touched will remember and miss her.
Donna is Peggy's niece.

Park near Picton, Ontario, when they learned a 4-month-old Orangeville
boy had been struck by a fallen tree and killed on Sunday.
One day later, in a creepy and cruel twist of fate, the Guelph
mother herself would be killed by a toppled tree at another provincial
campsite, this one 30 minutes northeast of Peterborough.
The flash storm late Monday night swept through Greater Toronto
and parts of southern Ontario, leaving destruction in its wake.
In Callander and Mattawa, the storm was so destructive, the mayors
declared states of emergency.
The coincidence of Cristina's death, one day after the baby's
death under similar circumstances, wasn't lost on the
CLAYTON
family.
"They had just come from the site where the baby had been killed,"
said an incredulous family member Cheryl
WILLIAMS through tears.
"They were one week at Sandbanks. It was a devastating thing.
You think camping is a safe activity, but with all these freak
storms coming up, you just never know."
The CLAYTONs had been avid campers, travelling from their Guelph
home every summer to give their three children a full camping
experience at Ontario's provincial parks.
"They did everything together. Every year, they camped,"
WILLIAMS
said.
On a two-week excursion, the
CLAYTONs had camped for a week at
Sandbanks Provincial Park and had set up their tents at the Warsaw
Caves Conservation area, just north of the Village of Warsaw
in Douro-Dummer Township.
That visit was tragically cut short Monday night when a violent
thunderstorm whipped up just before 11 p.m. and toppled a massive
tree onto the family's tent trailer, killing Cristina instantly.
She was one of two people killed by thunderstorms that lashed
the province Monday night.
Ontario Provincial Police also blamed a tree felled by the storm
for the death of Jeff
GRAY/GREY, 26, of Michigan, who had been in
a tent in Algonquin Provincial Park, south of Kiosk, Ontario
GRAY/GREY was director of Camp Kennedy, an adventure camp for young
people who were on a canoe trip.
A second person in the tent, Aaron
LEBOVICK, 19, also of Michigan,
was airlifted with serious injuries to North Bay District Hospital
and transferred to Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
These kinds of accidents, like the one that killed the mother
of three, are hard to prevent, the Ontario Provincial Police
say.
"Someone asked me, 'How do you protect yourself from this?' and
the truth is we can't recommend anything. It was really a freak,"
said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Iain
McEWAN.
John, the victim's 42-year-old husband, had tried valiantly to
save her life.
When the storm hit suddenly, it sent the tree crashing down on
the tent trailer. John kicked out the back of the trailer to
escape, pulling 9-year-old Jordan with him. He then crawled beneath
the trailer to get 10-year-old Vanessa and 12-year-old Justine.
He called out for Cristina, but got no response.
"He couldn't get her because the tree was on top of the trailer,"
said John's sister, Cheryl
WILLIAMS.
Her distraught husband was able to say only that "I loved her
very much," before breaking down in tears.
At one point, more than 170,000 residents across Ontario were
without power yesterday throughout northern and central Ontario
and east into western Quebec.
By late afternoon, 90,000 customers remained without power and
Hydro One, responsible for transmission lines, was warning people
that those in the hardest-hit areas, including North Bay, New
Liskeard, Sudbury, Manitoulin Island, Peterborough and Newmarket,
could be without power for three days due to the size of the
storm path and the widespread damage.
High winds felled hundreds of trees, while lightning damaged
hydro lines and poles.
"It's a tangled mess out there," said Daffyd
RODERICK of Hydro
One.
In York Region, the severe thunderstorm forced the closing of
Woodbine Ave. between Davis Dr. and Green Lane in Newmarket because
of a downed power line that fell across Woodbine Ave.
The damaged line was the primary cause for the power outage that
struck the northern part of York Region late Monday and early
Tuesday.
The Ontario Provincial Police also warned motorists the traffic
lights at Highway 9 and Highway 400 northbound will be out for
a few days.
Environment Canada's forecast says that more thunderstorm activity
could return tomorrow, when the Toronto area could see temperatures
near 31°C and rising humidity, too.
