LANDON,
Ryan
The family of the late Ryan
LANDON wish to extend heartfelt thanks
and appreciation to our dear relatives, Friends, neighbours and
the community for their floral tributes, monetary donations,
cards, letters and drawings, photographs and videos, phone calls,
food, expressions of sympathy and all acts of kindness in the
recent loss of our cherished son and brother, Ryan. Special thanks
to Father Jim
CARR who supported us at the hospital with his
prayers and presence, his regular visits and his comforting words
the Saint_James Anglican Church Women, choir, and members of Saint_James
Anglican Church for the beautiful memorial service and their
continued care and concern. Thank you to Doug and Janet
DYNES
at the McBeath-Dynes Funeral Home for providing a warm and comforting
environment in which to celebrate Ryan's life. Special thanks
to Doctor McBRIDE and staff at Alexandra Hospital in Ingersoll,
Dr. GAN and staff at London Health Sciences Centre-Victoria Campus
and Doctor
CORDOTTO and staff at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto,
for their amazing expertise and excellent care and support for
Ryan and our family. Thanks to the Ingersoll Fire Service, Oxford
County Emergency Medical Services and the Oxford Ontario Provincial
Police for their quick response and care. Sincere thanks to Ted
WALKER and Ryan
FURNANDIZ for their bravery -- for giving us
the opportunity and honour to personally say goodbye to Ryan.
A genuine thank you to our special "ninjas" and "angels" who
supported us daily and continue to hold us up -- words can never
express how we feel. Heartfelt thanks to Ryan's loving family,
godparents, Friends, pallbearers, co-workers and Seiwa-Kai Karate
family who personally shared in celebrating Ryan's life through
their presence, memorials, inspirational words and comforting
support. We have been blessed in so many ways. Ryan magically
touched several lives in his short adventure with us -- both
young and old. His discipline for karate led him to earn his
3rd dan black belt; to achieve the title of Sensei and to become
a teacher to others -- not only in karate but in life as well.
Ryan's passion for magic also lifted the spirits and minds of
those who had the honour of watching him perform. His gift to
make everyone smile and laugh, and his strong yet gentle heart
will forever be remembered. We miss you Ryan! Toddles! Love Davis,
Deb, Kristy and Corey.

Leslie YEO,
Thespian (1915-2006)
British-born actor who arrived in Newfoundland to start his own
theatre company went on to star at the Stratford Festival and
to run the Shaw Festival
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page▼ S9
Toronto -- Every Sunday afternoon for as long as anyone can remember,
Leslie YEO would be in his tiny Toronto kitchen, sleeves rolled
up and apron tied on, cooking up a feast for a small group of
family and Friends.
For that one evening, no matter what problems he faced during
the rest of the week, traditional roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
were always served, the good china was always out and pleasant
conversation always flowed.
"Are you sure those potatoes are done?" Mr.
YEO, an actor and
theatre director whose career spanned 60 years and who was best
known for his role as alcoholic Elwood Dowd in the stage play
Harvey, would jokingly ask his wife Grete, as he hovered about
in the kitchen.
The weekly dinners were such a hit that Mr.
YEO's actor friend,
Eric House, was a staple around the family dinner table every
Sunday for 20 years. "It was a small kitchen, and very busy.
But it was a good time," Mrs.
YEO said this week. "Sundays were
always a good time."
Putting others first and keeping them entertained came naturally
to Mr. YEO, whether it was at home with his family, on stage
at the Stratford Festival, on television screens across the country
or in films such as Canada's first full-length feature film The
Luck of Ginger Coffey (1964), based on the novel by Brian Moore
and starring Robert Shaw as an out-of-work Irish immigrant who
moves to Montreal with his wife (Mary Ure), and teenage daughter
(Libby McClintock) in hopes of a better life.
"He loved an audience," Jamie
YEO, the actor's son and only child
said. "It kept him going."
But the drama in Mr.
YEO's life began long before he performed
in more than 500 roles and helped establish one of the country's
most reputed theatre companies.
Leslie James
YEO was the second of four sons whose parents, Sibyl
and Fred YEO, operated a modest men's wear store in Swindon,
Wiltshire, a small town that lies between Oxford and Bristol.
However, the effects of the First World War still lingered in
much of Britain and the shop went bankrupt in 1929, causing the
household to split up. Fourteen-year-old Leslie found himself
having to leave school to work for Spratt's Patent Limited, a
dog-food manufacturer, where he earned 25 shillings a week. He
ended up designing the logo for the company, which is used to
this day.
The stress of just barely surviving led the young man to take
odd jobs in advertising in London's West End. By 21, he was on
the staff of Lord and Thomas, "a small agency with big billings."
The West End at that time was also a centre of gambling in London,
however, and he began skipping out with Friends to place bets
on fights and horse races. Not surprisingly, his work suffered.
"Creative juices find it hard to flow when there's a 5 o'clock
deadline and you're worrying about which horse won the 4: 30,"
he wrote years later in his 1998 autobiography A Thousand and
One First Nights. "I began to wonder how much longer I would
be able to keep from my employers what I could no longer hide
from myself: That I was horribly close to becoming an addicted
gambler."
He got a hold of himself and quit gambling. To deal with the
withdrawal symptoms, he revisited an old hobby and began attending
drama classes. It wasn't the first time. At 10, he had played
a rabbit in a local Swindon production of The Arcadians. "I immediately
fell in love with the leading lady, who was all of 25 and quite
irresistible with her dainty pillbox hat perched atop her jet
black Eton crop," he recalled in his book. "When the cast picture
came out, I put an X just above the pillbox and slept with it
under my pillow for weeks."
Meanwhile, in London, Mr.
YEO went from being an extra for amateur
theatre companies to playing leading roles in larger stage productions.
But the Second World War forced the government to close all theatres
for a time and in 1940 he enlisted in the Royal Air Force as
a wireless operator who, because of colour blindness (he could
not distinguish red, green or brown), was assigned to ground
stations.
He sent and received Morse code messages for five years. When
peace was declared, he reunited with his first love of drama
in London. And with the ring of a telephone, his life changed
completely.
John Gabriel, a resident director at the Birmingham Alexandra
Theatre, where Mr.
YEO often acted, called to ask if he would
like to join his company going to Newfoundland. "I didn't like
to tell him I hadn't the faintest idea where Newfoundland was&hellip
I said 'Yes, of course,' and I hared round to the local reference
library for an atlas."
The theatre company hit hard times, however, and, having already
experienced difficult financial times, Mr.
YEO knew better than
to stay with an outfit that was fast losing money. Soon after
arriving in Saint_John's in 1951, he started up his own London
Theatre Company in Saint_John's, where he profitably churned out
26 stage plays in 26 weeks and launched the careers of dozens
of Canadian actors.
But even with the success that he saw, he never lost his ability
to see a real bargain. On a trip back to West End London, Mr.
YEO
happened to walk by an old theatre that was throwing out its
seats and replacing them with new ones. His friend Laurie Freeman
said he immediately had the weathered chairs shipped back to
Newfoundland.
Installed in the London Theatre, the seats served for six seasons,
worn down by full house after full house. In all, he presented
107 different productions -- 39 of them in period costumes --
each with a full stage set and every one of them mounted within
a week. The playbill included six major classics including two
Shakespeare productions, six musical revues and five full-length
British pantomimes.
But in 1957, anticipating the effect of television on live theatre
audiences, Mr.
YEO gathered up his courage, disbanded the company,
and moved to Toronto with his wife, stage actress Hilary
VERNON,
and son Jamie.
He soon found work at the Stratford Festival, by then in its
fourth season, and over the years acted in dozens of stage plays
in such roles as Toby Belch in Twelfth Night and the Earl of
Warwick in Saint Joan.
In 1979, Mr.
YEO became artistic director of the Shaw Festival
in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, where he performed in many productions.
More importantly, Laurie
FREEMAN recalled, he "brought it out
of the red and into the black in one season." There, he also
directed The Corn is Green and The Importance of Being Earnest.
He was also known on television and in the movies. He appeared
in The Twilight Zone (1988) as Doctor Eugene Murrich; The Littlest
Hobo (1983) as Mayor Oliver Cruickshank; Street Legal (1988-1993)
as both the president and Judge Bodner; and in Bye Bye Blues
(1989) as Kate Reid's husband. Among his most recent roles was
an episode of Cold Squad in 1998.
But his all-time favourite role was that of Elwood Dowd in Harvey,
an alcoholic who drifted through life accompanied by a six-foot-tall
invisible white rabbit named Harvey. Nobody ever saw Harvey except
Elwood, who always asked for two chairs at restaurants and ordered
two of everything. The role was also a favourite of actor James
Stewart, who made a movie version in 1950.
Mr. YEO so identified with the part that when he overheard that
Christopher Newton, then creative director at the Vancouver Playhouse,
planned to switch the final play of the company's season to Harvey,
"I felt that somebody had stuck a dagger into me. I spun him
round quite fiercely and told him that he couldn't possibly do
Harvey without me."
Of course, Mr.
YEO found a way to make it back to Vancouver seven
months later for the run.
Although he never achieved the status of playing leading roles
in major Canadian productions, the legacy Mr.
YEO left is of
a different kind. His son Jamie, 50, recalls a man who cared
about the lives and finances of other actors. They were underpaid
and overworked. Mr.
YEO spent years helping to found the Alliance
of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists Fraternal Benefit
Society, now guaranteeing retirement benefits and medical insurance
for more than 21,000 performers across the country.
His supportive nature extended far beyond the acting realm. "I
remember the phone ringing off the hook at home," Jamie recalled.
"He would get phone calls from people just wanting to talk about
things going on in their life."
It wasn't unusual for Mr.
YEO to drop whatever he was doing and
go and meet with that friend or relative to hear them out. "He's
bailed Friends out from jail -- including my Friends who didn't
want to call their own parents. Or he would go and help someone
fix something in their basement."
Leslie YEO always knew how to enjoy a good laugh, good company,
and good scotch. As Elwood Dowd, his favourite character, once
said: "I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whoever
I'm with."
Leslie James
YEO was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, England, on
May 29, 1915. He died of brain cancer on September 14, 2006,
in Toronto. He was 91. He leaves his James and his second wife
Grete.
His first wife, Hilary
VERNON, died of cancer in 1973.

Cully SCHMIDT,
Newpaperman: (1911-2006)
Newspaper boy who favoured pool rooms over classrooms rose to
become the no-nonsense editor-in-chief of the Kitchener Record
By Unnati GANDHI with files from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record,
Page S9
Toronto -- Day in and day out in the 1920s, Cully
SCHMIDT would
collect his bundle of Record newspapers from a dark, narrow alley
off King Street in Kitchener, Ontario, and begin a two-hour newspaper
route through the city's northwest suburbs to deliver his allotted
110 copies before dawn. He was about 13 years old; he would become
editor-in-chief by the time he was 56.
School had not been much use to young Cully. After getting caught
skipping class to play pool, he had taken his principal's advice
to try for a permanent job at the newspaper. By all accounts,
the man had a point. Young Cully did not seem to be interested
in studying and, instead, he preferred to fill glue pots or lay
out sheets of heavy paper used to wrap editions for rural delivery.
From time to time, he even fielded readers' calls on hockey night,
updating them on how the local teams were doing.
It was in this way that he was taken on as a cub reporter to
launch a journalism career that spanned half a century. Over
the years, he cultivated a reputation as a stern, old-fashioned
and no-nonsense editor.
"He could be very gruff. He was non-communicative. He was one
of those tough old newsmen of bygone eras," said J. Fred
KUNTZ,
publisher of The Record, which went through several name variations,
including the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, until about a decade
ago. But then again, Mr.
KUNTZ only met the man as "a sweet old
man" in the twilight of his life. "I never had the joy of working
with Cully, or the terror, as the case may be."
Reporters who worked with him remember a man who would leave
a simple note reading "See me. CBS," propped up on their
typewriter keys.
"He would never just say to you, 'Come and see me in my office.'
He was a man of very little words," said Carol
JANKOWSKI, who
arrived as a reporter at The Record in 1972 and is now editor
of a local lifestyle magazine. On the whole, his staffs never
knew if the reasons for his summons were good or bad.
"But he always had a good point to make," she said. "And then
he would say, 'That's it. Get back to work.' "
Sporting a brush cut that looked fresh every day, Mr.
SCHMIDT
always arrived at work wearing a bow tie. At one point, ties
were made mandatory. Photo editor Brian
CLARK remembers one young
reporter coming dressed in a turtleneck. "He was promptly reminded
that a tie was required and sent home to change. For someone
in his early 20s, all I thought was 'Wow, what an old fogey.'"
A newspaper man to the core, Mr.
SCHMIDT exhibited outright hostility
for the new medium of television. When CKCO, the local television
station, went on air in the 1960s, Mr.
SCHMIDT disapproved that
some of his better-known writers appeared on air and prohibited
Record staff from entering the studios.
By 1968, Mr.
SCHMIDT went from being managing editor to editor-in-chief,
a position he held until his retirement in 1975. During that
time, he helped make The Record into one of the best in Ontario,
recalls Brian
CLARK, who started at The Record while Mr.
SCHMIDT
was editor-in-chief. For one thing, he regularly put in very
long hours. "[It was] the best part of his waking hours, being
engaged in the daily news," Mr.
KUNTZ said.
The result was excellence among regional newspapers. "He set
a standard that The Record was almost larger than it really was,
given its circulation," says Mr.
CLARK. "He really gave it a
reputation that has stayed with it through the years."
The reason, perhaps, is that Mr.
SCHMIDT never really retired.
He continued to take great interest in the paper and would go
through every story on every page, circle all the typos and grammar
mistakes and send the marked-up articles to the publisher.
"He was on a constant mission for accuracy," recalls Mr.
KUNTZ.
"This was a guy who lived, breathed and ate the newsroom. It
was his life."
Last year, Mr.
SCHMIDT attended the opening of The Record's new
building. On a tour of the newsroom with Mr.
KUNTZ, he suddenly
stopped to look at a black-and-white photograph from the 1960s
that showed several men in white shirts sitting around a table
editing copy. "He pointed to each one and remembered every single
person as if it was yesterday," Mr.
KUNTZ said. "But it wasn't
just that he could recall it all, it was the fondness like he
was living it right at that moment."
Carl B. SCHMIDT was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on March 9, 1911.
He died on September 21, 2006, after suffering a stroke. He is
predeceased by his wife Margaret and survived by his children,
John and Margaret.

Second boy who fell in pond dies
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page▲▼ A7
Toronto -- A 15-year-old boy who fell through a sheet of thin
ice into a Scarborough pond with a friend last week died yesterday.
Kishoban ALAKESWARAN spent a week in critical condition at Toronto's
Hospital for Sick Children before he was removed from life support
yesterday.
"Although the doctor said there was no hope of him surviving
his oxygen levels weren't going very well -- we all had hope,
and his mom had faith that God would bring her son home," said
Kishoban's cousin, Nithja
VARATHARAJAN, 18, last night.
Kishoban had been on his way to a soccer game with Friends when
they came across the pond on the unusually warm winter's day.
The Friends tested the strength of the ice by throwing increasingly
larger rocks onto its surface. Even though some went through,
Kishoban was adamant to try to walk across, Friends said.
When he crashed through the ice, his 11-year-old friend, Birunthan
NADARAJAH, tried to rescue him but the ice gave way and Birunthan
died. Kishoban's family has said they will be nominating Birunthan
for a bravery medal.
The Grade 10 Woburn Collegiate Institute student was known for
his exceptionally high marks in school, especially in math and
computers.
"His intelligence really made the family proud," Ms.
VARATHARAJAN
said. His body can be viewed on Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
at the Ogden Funeral Home at 4164 Sheppard Avenue East. Cremation
will be held on Thursday.

Man killed after 'minor' argument at restaurant
Family's wish to spend Christmas together dashed as son shot
by waiting gunman
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page▲
A21
Ivy BATISSE wished with all her heart yesterday that she could
hold in her hands one of the "magic potions" her son used to
make for her when she was feeling sad.
The concoctions of shampoo, cologne and whatever else the then-elementary
school pupil could obtain were what the single mother's mind
kept straying to after hearing that her son Jesse had been gunned
down and killed on Christmas Eve.
"He would make different mixtures, put it all in a bottle, shake
it up, and Scotch tape it together," the 44-year-old told The
Globe and Mail yesterday. "He'd say they were mom potions, love
potions, whatever it took to cheer me up."
Instead, Ms.
BATISSE held in her hands the paperwork identifying
her son's body at the coroner's office on Sunday.
"All I wanted was to see my baby on Christmas and I can't. I
just wanted to see him. I just …," she said yesterday, breaking
off into heavy sobs and lashing out at the "street code that
these young people have today."
Mr. BATISSE, 23, had been out with Friends at Tasty's Restaurant
in his old Parkdale neighbourhood Saturday night when he got
into what police called a "minor" argument with one of his long-time
childhood Friends.
"That altercation resulted in the suspect leaving the bar, arming
himself with a handgun and laying in wait for the deceased to
exit the bar," Detective Wayne
FOWLER of the Toronto police homicide
squad said yesterday.
Police said the suspect opened fire about 1 a.m. Sunday. Mr.
BATISSE
was shot several times in the chest and collapsed at Dufferin
Street and King Street West. He died five hours later in hospital.
One of his Friends was struck in the arm by a stray bullet but
managed to get to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police issued an arrest warrant for 20-year-old Thomas Lawrence
DOUCETTE of Toronto on a charge of first-degree murder. They
consider him armed and dangerous.
"If he's willing to take it upon himself to go to this extent
to arm himself and discharge a number of rounds at the deceased
who was with a number of people -- obviously he can be volatile
and take matters to the extreme," Det.
FOWLER said.
Mr. DOUCETTE is described as white, 5 foot 8, 154 pounds, with
short brown hair, hazel eyes and a tattoo on the back of his
neck. He was last seen wearing all black clothing.
Mr. BATISSE and his family lived in the Parkdale area for most
of his life. He often went back to the neighbourhood, where he
had many Friends, including the suspect, police said.
His girlfriend, Amber
LAROCQUE, 20, witnessed the incident and
said she could not believe anyone could shoot her boyfriend because
he had "the biggest heart in the world."
Mr. BATISSE and Ms.
LAROCQUE were planning on moving into their
own apartment in January, when he was to begin a part-time construction
job.
"We had saved up for rent and were even thinking of starting
up our own family. Jesse wanted to own a house by the time he
was 25."
At the family home at Jane Street and St. Clair Avenue West,
Ms. BATISSE said she knew the suspect. "This young person used
to stay at my house. I used to give him food. I used to give
him shelter. I remember this one time his family was having a
hard time, he stayed in my basement because Jesse asked me if
he could stay there."
Mr. BATISSE, who was half Ojibwa from the Matachewan First Nation
about 50 kilometres west of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, was beginning
to turn his life around after struggling with a life of crime,
said his sister, Jennifer, 20.
He was going to return to school in January to get his high-school
diploma and had applied to a youth-counselling program at George
Brown College.
"He went through some tough times," she said. "So he just wanted
to guide younger kids, to show them where they should go in life,
and how not to go down the same route he went down."
The whole family -- Ms.
BATISSE, her two sons and three daughters
had been planning to celebrate their first Christmas together
"in a long time," Jennifer said. They were going to decorate
their tree and have a family dinner on Sunday.

ROBILLARD,
Line (1943-2006)
Peacefully at the Griffith McConnell Home in Montreal on October 25th
after a courageous battle with cancer. Daughter of the late Claude
and late Denyse
(GUIMONT)
ROBILLARD, dear step-daughter of Thérèse
ROBILLARD, and dearest sister of Claude, Marie, Andrée (Eric
Lefebvre GANNE,)
Jean
(Paule
LÉVESQUE) and Phillippe, loved aunt
of ten nephews and nieces and loving companion of Stephen
KINSMAN.
After graduating in Economics and Political Science from McGill
University, Line took a further political science course at La
Sorbonne. She worked for Cyrus Sulzberger of The New York Times
in Paris and pursued a Cordon Bleu cooking course at the same
time. Between 1971 and 1981, she worked with the U.S. Department
of State as a political analyst, Consul to Oran (Algeria), and
was subsequently program director at the U.S. National Commission
for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
From 1981 to 1987 she was special project consultant for the
Royal Commission on the Canadian Economy ('The MacDonald Commission')
and the Canadian Minister of Health and Welfare. Between 1989 and
1994, she was Executive Director of the Young Women's Christian
Association in Montreal. From 1994 until 2003, she was Executive
Director of the World Federation of Hemophilia. Line became the
friend and counselor to many people at and associated with World
Federation of Hemophilia in many countries in the world and her
impeccable fluency in English, French, and Spanish was a great
asset. From May, 2003 to late 2005, she helped establish a patient-based,
not-for-profit organization in the U.S., The National Alliance
for Thrombosis and Thrombophilia, as its Executive Director.
Line enjoyed working her showpiece garden at her country house
near Mansonville. She had a completely catholic taste in music,
was fascinated by astronomy and exploits in outer and inner space.
Line will be remembered for her great intelligence, certainly,
but also for her compassion and quiet - but sometimes outrageous
- sense of humour. Line was without doubt the Renaissance Woman.
Family and Friends, worldwide, will miss her. We wish to thank
the Griffith McConnell Home, the Montreal Neurological Hospital
and the centre local de services communautaires Métro for all
their help not only to Line, but to us as well. There will be
a memorial service for Line at 11: 00 a.m. Saturday, November 4,
at the Outremont Chapel of the Mount Royal Funeral Complex. In
lieu of flowers, donations to the Griffith McConnell Home or
the Montreal Neurological Hospital would be appreciated.
