POYTON,
Herbert
Guy
(November 24, 1911-December 8, 2007)
Peacefully of natural causes in Toronto, on December 8, 2007,
two weeks after his 96th birthday, with his loving wife of 69 years,
Eunice, and family friend, Margaret by his side, Guy slipped
away from his remarkable life with us. Pre-deceased by his parents
Herbert and Ellen
(DIGGINS)
POYTON, and sister Margaret Poyton
HILL. In his immediate family, Guy is survived by his wife
Eunice
(CORNER)
POYTON in Toronto, sister Ellen
POYTON, brother and
sister-in-law Kenneth and Elsie
POYTON, and brother-in-law, Alfred
HILL in England. Mourning his loss also are nephews Stuart
CORNER,
Colin POYTON, nieces Alison
WHISKER and Ann
NUNN in England
Clare LAMB in Wales; Janet
HILL in U.S.A.; and Katie
HILL in
Australia, and their families. Guy will be sadly missed also
by Friends and colleagues in Canada and worldwide. Although his
ancestry is French Huguenot, Guy was born in Bethnall Green,
England. In his early teens, suffering at risk from the effects
of London smog, he enrolled as a boarder at Margate College on
the English coast where he recovered readily, excelled in academic
studies and earned distinction as a member of an invincible rugby
team. He remained a member of The Old Margatonian Association.
Throughout his life, until his early eighties, Guy participated
actively in many sports, such as sailing, swimming, running and
weightlifting, as a member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club,
and as a Master Athlete in various events at Hart House, University
of Toronto. After leaving Margate College, Guy trained in dentistry
at Guy's Hospital, later joining his father's dental practice
in Hackney. During the 1930's, Guy's father had founded The Abbey
Street Sunday School for adults, so Guy and his siblings organized
and participated in sections for infants and older children with
a special emphasis on learning and singing hymns. Guy met and
married Eunice, and opened a dental surgery at Chalkwell-on-Sea,
near Southend, Essex. Keen to learn and to improve his practice,
Guy continued academic studies to obtain the Edinburgh University
Higher Dental Degree in 1972. During World War 2, as Major H.G.
POYTON in the British Army, he served in England and Holland.
Following the war, Guy obtained a position with the dental unit
of the Metropolitan Police at Scotland Yard in London, and later,
in 1948, at the leading dental hospital The Eastman Clinic in
London, England. Initially also, he was involved in establishing
an innovative program to train dental assistants, later called
hygienists. Further studies resulted in his developing and expanding
the use and techniques of radiology, specifically for complex
conditions of the teeth and jaw. Doctor
POYTON's pioneering achievements
in, and specialized knowledge of dental radiology resulted in
an invitation to lecture at University of London, and to teach
at and develop the radiology program in The Faculty of Dentistry,
University of Toronto. Doctor
POYTON was the first Full professor
of Oral Radiology in the Commonwealth and initiated the first
M.Sc. course in Oral Radiology in the world. A popular speaker
and admired teacher, and author of over 30 articles, Doctor
POYTON
lectured throughout Canada and U.S.A., and in United Kingdom
Australia, New Zealand and Bulgaria.
Always willing to assist students and colleagues, Doctor
POYTON
consulted on maxillofacial radiology matters in various hospitals,
to such journals as Scientific American and Journal of Science.
He was an adviser to the Medical Research Council, National Health
and Welfare (Canada), the Canadian Government Specifications
Board, National Health Research and Development Programs, and
the F.D.I. Commission on Dental Materials. He was an Honourary
Life Member and Founder President of The Canadian Academy of
Oral Radiology; Member, The Royal Society of Medicine, The Royal
College of Surgeons, Edin.; Life Member, Canadian Dental Association
Life Member and Founder Secretary, British Society of Oral and
Maxillofacial Radiology; and a Distinguished Life Member of the
American Academy of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology. In 1982,
Dr. POYTON published the first full and definitive book on the
subject, entitled Manual of Dental and Oral Radiology. Updated
with his colleague, M.J. Pharoah in 1989, it remains a definitive
text. Doctor
POYTON retired from his position as Associate Dean,
Administrative Affairs, Chairman and Professor of Oral Radiology
in The Faculty of Dentistry in 1978, but as Emeritus Professor,
maintained close ties with many colleagues and former students.
Foremost was his interest in ensuring that The Faculty of Dentistry
retain its international recognition for excellence. He encouraged
fraternal participation in world conferences, in developing professional
relationships with international colleagues and in sharing expertise
because he considered dental care and radiology services as an
essential part of total health care from infants to elderly.
In 2004, a donation by Guy and Eunice established The Poyton
Graduate Student Bursary in Oral Radiology at University of Toronto,
enabling The Faculty of Dentistry to expand its program in diagnostic
imagery and research. In December, 2000, Guy and Eunice moved
to a residential care centre. They have been blessed by new Friends
and attention from excellent medical staff and loving caregivers.
Guy will be greatly missed. He was charming, gentle, gracious,
and kindly, an excellent companion and friend, always interesting,
and wise. A man of renown, Guy never failed to express his appreciation
of others, his devotion to Eunice and his gratitude for his care.
At his request, there was no service. As promised, Guy's life
and achievements will be celebrated with dignity, sparing no
sentiment, but with gratitude for his life and Friendship, and
acknowledging the Poyton legacy, in Toronto, in Spring, at a
venue to be announced. The Poyton Family wish to thank all who
visited or assisted with Guy's care. We are very grateful to
all medical personnel, all staff at The Annex Residence, devoted
Friends Don, Ann and Robert Teskey, David and Joan Black, and
especially, Margaret Cameron.

Mom, 2 kids killed, son, dad injured in horrific crash
Police say the Hamilton-area crash occurred when a van ran a
stop sign.
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Sat., August 25, 2007
Hamilton -- A family's plan of a new start to their lives ended
in tragedy when a van ran a stop sign and demolished their minivan
near Brantford, killing a mom and two of her kids.
Shannon O'LEARY, 32, and her two-month-old daughter Hailey
O'LEARY-
FERGUSON
died instantly in the 9: 06 p.m. Thursday crash at Brant County
Rd. 4 and the Burford-Delhi Townline Rd.
Shannon's daughter, Taylor
O'LEARY, 10, died at 3 a.m. yesterday
in Hamilton hospital, say Friends and neighbours, and her organs
were donated.
Her son, Ethan, 4, is in a medically induced coma following surgery
for severe head trauma and Shannon's husband, Dennis
FERGUSON,
is in stable condition.
The 21-year-old driver of the other van, a Chevy Astro, is in
grave condition. He is accused of running the stop sign and slamming
into the victims' northbound Pontiac Montana, which was almost
split in two by the tremendous impact.
Ariel VARGA, 12, said she's finding it difficult losing a close
friend. Taylor "was a good person. She was nice, She liked to
go shopping a lot," Ariel said. "She had lots of Friends around
here."
Friend Natalia
ALFANO, 9, said the neighbourhood girls would
play cheerleading, dolls and gymnastics. "It was really fun to
play with her," Natalia said. "We always used to laugh together
and play."
Ontario
Provincial
Police Const. Larry
PLUMMER said investigators
were told by a witness driving behind the Chevy Astro that there
were no brake lights before the Chevy crashed into the passenger
sliding door of the victims' Montana.
"It was an incredible, terrible impact," he said.
"We don't have a clue" why the driver failed to stop,
PLUMMER
said, adding the area is flat and it was a "beautiful moonlit
night."
"There's no rhyme or reason and the only person that obviously
knows was driving the vehicle and we don't expect to talk to
him for quite a while, if we ever do."
PLUMMER said it took Brant County volunteer firefighters about
20 minutes to free the trapped man.

Neighbours left in shock following murder-suicide
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Thurs., October 18, 2007
Toronto -- Neighbours are stunned and shaken, but they understand
Ed and Jessie
KLING were suffering.
"It was unbelievable shock. I still don't want to believe it
happened," next-door neighbour Jim
PATSAKOS said.
"You would never think this would happen to these people. It
would never cross your mind."
Jessie, 81, who was bedridden and suffering from cancer, which
claimed her sister this past summer, was found shot to death
in a bedroom Tuesday night.
Her husband, Ed, 83, a Second World War veteran and retired teacher
who was suffering from a heart condition, was found dead in the
garage of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Jessie's body was found by a daughter and police found Ed. The
couple had three daughters and a son and several grandchildren.
One daughter, Susan, committed suicide about 20 years ago, said
one neighbour.
The Klings were known for their colourful blooms in the small
but well-kept flower beds, but neighbours said Ed didn't seem
to take care of his precious flowers this summer as well as he
did in summers past.
Neighbours didn't know anything about the long barrelled shotgun
and handguns Toronto Police took out of the red brick bungalow.
Police also took a blood-soaked patio chair out of the garage.
"How are you going to survive when everything hits you?" asked
a neighbour. "You can only feel sad for them."
But when they were well, they lit up the neighbourhood, say area
residents.
"They were always out there in their garden and talking to everybody
who walked by,"
PATSAKOS said.
But they were slowing down, the neighbour of 20 years said. "They
were both failing."
PATSAKOS said he spoke with the couple's son Barry, of California,
during Thanksgiving, who said his elderly parents were "going
downhill pretty quick."
Nevertheless, there was no indication of a pending tragedy, he
said.

Police pleaded with slain man to drop weapon
Three Halton officers are the focus of an Special Investigations
Unit probe of the shooting in Oakville.
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Mon., December 3, 2007
Toronto -- The armed man who was killed in a confrontation with
Halton police had recently returned to Oakville from British
Columbia after losing or leaving his job.
Steve REMIAN, 38, died after being shot several times by three
officers, two of them tactical unit members, at 2: 33 a.m. Saturday
in Wedgewood Park in the town's posh east end.
One of those bullets is believed to have hit
REMIAN in the head.
REMIAN had moved to British Columbia to work and recently returned
to Oakville, where he lived previously and has family.
Special Investigations Unit spokesperson Rose Bliss said an autopsy
was performed yesterday and some results may be revealed today.
She said Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia are
trying to dig up background on the man.
Bliss said four officers were initially designated as subject
officers, meaning that they had shot at
REMIAN, but evidence
suggests there were three officers.
Their actions are under scrutiny by the Special Investigations
Unit. There are 13 designated as witness officers, she said.
Police began looking for
REMIAN and his auto after receiving
a call from a person at a Tim Hortons an hour before the fatal
shots.
Bliss said the man was acting strangely and threatened to harm
himself and others.
The caller had also seen the man's rifle, she said.
By the time officers arrived at the coffee shop,
REMIAN had left
the scene, but another patrolling cruiser spotted his car a short
time later.
With flashing lights, police followed the car into the park,
where the man drove until he got wedged in bush and woods.
REMIAN apparently made no effort to lose police during the short
drive from when he was spotted and when he was cornered in the
park.
Despite numerous pleas to drop the rifle,
REMIAN apparently lifted
the firearm and police opened fire.
Bliss said it's not known if
REMIAN opened fire at police.
The man's apparent state of mind raises the question that he
may have tried to provoke police into a confrontation, a phenomenon
known as suicide by cop. Bliss didn't say if investigators have
any evidence of it in this case.
But a source said the man was visibly upset and had been openly
talking about harming himself and others.

Daughter strangled
Friends say Aqsa
PARVEZ clashed with her strict family.
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Wed., December 12, 2007
Mississauga -- Muhammad
PARVEZ appears in court this morning
charged with strangling his daughter as homicide detectives continue
to look at her older brother to determine if he had a role in
the slaying.
The 57-year-old man was charged yesterday with killing 16-year-old
Aqsa PARVEZ, who Friends say rebelled against her father's religious
expectations. Aqsa died in the Hospital for Sick Children late
Monday and her mother arranged for her daughter's organs be donated.
Peel detectives charged her brother, Waqas, 26, with obstructing
police, allegedly for trying to mislead officers during their
investigation.
But police said Waqas continues to be investigated by homicide
detectives to determine if he's involved in Peel's 16th murder
of the year.
"We're now trying to determine what role or culpability he may
have had in the homicide as well," Peel police homicide Insp. Norm
ENGLISH said. "We're certainly going to be conducting further
investigations to determine if he had a role in this."
ENGLISH said the investigation is still early and whether Muhammad
is charged with first- or second-degree murder depends on witness
information and the results of a pending autopsy. Investigators
suspect the Grade 11 Applewood Heights secondary school student
was strangled.
Police were alerted to the incident when a man called police
just before 8 a.m. Monday saying he had killed his daughter at
their Longhorn Trail home.
Most students learned during the school's morning announcement
yesterday that Aqsa, who was born in Pakistan, had died.
A memorial with her photo and a book of condolences was in the
front lobby of the high school for classmates to jot down memories
or poems.
"It's just, like, really sad. Everyone was just crying," said
Grade 10 student Natalie
RANCE.
Students and Friends said Aqsa began removing her hijab when
she attended school this term after her older sister had graduated.
With no one to watch over her, she apparently felt free to dress
more casually.
Aqsa recently left the family home and moved in with a friend,
said Krista
GARBUTT.
She said the victim was quite open with
Friends about discussing the culture clash she was having with
her father, but it appears no one in authority was aware.
"I don't think so; she didn't tell a teacher," Dominiquia
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
said yesterday.
Students were sent home with letters for their parents informing
them of Aqsa's death and an outline of symptoms for depression
or stress that their kids may feel. It assured parents that counsellors
are available.
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON described Aqsa as a kind person who loved to
take photos and to dance. "And all she wanted to do is to be
herself."
She said Aqsa was at a friend's place after leaving her home
around 8 p.m. Sunday.
"She was happy, she was ready to go to school, she was excited,"
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said, adding Aqsa intended on returning to the
family home to get clothes.
But HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said Aqsa told her she was "scared to go
home."
"Because she didn't obey the rules…" she said.
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said her friend would arrive at school wearing
jogging pants and hijab and then change clothes, removing the
traditional headscarf.
Friend Ashley
GARBUTT, 16, said that Aqsa didn't want to wear
the hijab any more.
"Then her sister kept telling her dad that she doesn't wear it,"
she said. "She left her house twice. She left and went to her
friend's house because… she would get scared and she just didn't
want to live there anymore. She wanted to be her own person and
show her inner beauty."
GARBUTT said Aqsa went to a shelter and her father contacted
her asking her to come home because neither he nor her mother
could eat after she left the first time.
"She moved home because she felt bad, but she moved out again,"
she said.
Friends said there probably are other girls who find themselves
in a similar situation.
"They should get help soon as possible, whether it's a counsellor,"
Ebonie MITCHELL said. "Because we never knew it was that bad.
If they're in that situation, they should get help as soon as
possible."

SCOTT,
Tom
Foster
(June 25, 1923-December 25, 2007)
Tom SCOTT, beloved husband of Yvonne (Tommy) passed away in Calgary
on Christmas Day, 2007, at the age of 84 years, after a brief
and courageous battle with cancer. Tom was a devoted and loving
father and grandfather and will be fondly remembered by his children
Deborah (Lynn) of Toronto, Ontario, Ted (Jo-Ann) of Toronto,
Ontario, Jennifer (Graham) of Calgary, Alberta, and Geoff (Michelle)
of Burlington, Ontario; and by grandchildren Hart and Cayley
LAMBUR, Caroline, Ian and Katherine
SCOTT, Liam and Riley
DUFF
and Foster and Dustin
SCOTT. Survived by his brother Peter of
Vancouver, British Columbia. Tom was born in Cumberland, British
Columbia. He graduated in Applied Science, as a mechanical engineer,
from the University of British Columbia, in 1946. He was president
of the University's graduating class in that year and won the
Engineering Institute of Canada prize. After graduation, Tom
headed east to work in various engineering capacities for CIL
(later Dupont of Canada) in Montreal and Shawinigan, Québec.
While in Shawinigan, he met his beloved Tommy in nearby Trois
Rivieres. They were married in 1952 and eventually settled in
Beaconsfield, Québec, where they formed many lifelong Friendships.
In 1971, intrigued at the potential of the oil sands and the
prospect of taking his career in a new direction, Tom moved the
family to Fort McMurray, where he managed engineering and maintenance
for Great Canadian Oil Sands, now a division of Suncor. This
was followed by a move to Edmonton in 1973 to handle the assembly
and marketing of Great Canadian Oil Sands's oil sands technology.

LAMER o@ca.on.middlesex_county.london.london_free_press 2007-11-26 published
Top judge retained common touch
By Jim BROWN, Canadian Press, Mon., November 26, 2007
Ottawa -- If ever a man was in love with the legal profession,
devoted to its traditions and steeped in its history, it was
Joseph
Antonio▼
Charles
LAMER, the 16th chief justice of Canada.
But if ever a man managed to keep the common touch while walking
with the high and mighty, it was also the guy from gritty, east-end
Montreal known to Friends and colleagues as Tony.
LAMER, 74, died in the overnight hours between Friday and Saturday,
surrounded by family members.
He had been in and out of hospital several times in recent years
suffering from recurring heart problems.
In nearly 20 years on the Supreme Court of Canada, half of them
as chief justice,
LAMER never lost his taste for the simple pleasures.
On sunny summer weekdays he frequently fled the austere confines
of the court to stroll the Sparks Street Mall in downtown Ottawa
at lunchtime, grazing on the fare offered by street vendors.
Saturday mornings often found him among the shoppers at the Loblaw's
supermarket a few blocks to the east along Rideau Street.
"I would see him sitting at the snack bar with a hotdog and a
Coke, shooting the breeze with whoever else was there taking
a break from groceries," recalled Eugene
MEEHAN, a prominent
Ottawa lawyer and longtime friend.
"I doubt anyone knew his day job."
Renowned for his expertise in criminal law,
LAMER built a reputation
on the bench as a man who could see through the legal maze to
the human issues at stake in the courtroom.
"He was a champion of rights and liberties," said Bernard
AMYOT,
president of the Canadian Bar Association.
"It was under his watch, especially as chief justice, that many
Charter cases started to percolate up to the Supreme Court."
LAMER's folksy personal manner was more than a facade. Although
he was the son of a lawyer, he was born on July 8, 1933, into
the same rough-and-tumble neighbourhood where his father had
grown up and insisted on staying.
"Everybody went to the penitentiary except two guys,"
LAMER later
reminisced about his boyhood playmates.
"I saw these people turn into holdup men, one of them committed
murder. The girl across the street became a prostitute."
LAMER took another route, to College St-Laurent, one of the schools
where the francophone elite of the day sent their children, then
to the Universite de Montreal for a law degree.
During 12 years in private practice he made a name as a criminal
lawyer -- and successfully defended Quebec nationalist Pierre
Bourgault on a charge of inciting the 1968 St-Jean-Baptiste Day
riot where the crowd showered Pierre Trudeau with debris.
A year later Trudeau, the arch-federalist Liberal prime minister,
appointed LAMER, at age 36, as a judge of Quebec Superior Court.

Judge breathed creative life into the Charter
'His judgments reflected a belief that judges were, above all,
independent, principled guardians of the Constitution'
By Kirk MAKIN,
Justice
Reporter,
Page
S10
Former chief justice Antonio
LAMER - one of the longest-serving
and most influential judges in Canadian history - died Saturday,
several weeks after recurring heart trouble and failing health
forced him into an Ottawa hospital.
Appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1980, Mr.
LAMER,
74, spent his 20 years on the court consolidating his reputation
as a renowned law reformer who was determined to breathe creative
life into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
When he retired in 2000 - after being chief justice for a decade
- Mr. LAMER was more closely identified with the protection of
the rights of the accused than any judge in the country.
"I think Canada should be very grateful for the fact that it
had a criminal expert with his vision on the court at the time
the Charter was enacted," Queen's University law professor Don
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART said in an interview yesterday.
"He was not just an expert, but a very imaginative judge whose
judgments made a significant contribution to the development
of criminal law under the Charter."
Mr.
Justice
James
MacPHERSON of the Ontario Court of Appeal said
that Mr. LAMER had an enormous thirst for Charter interpretation
and soon became the court's most prolific writer and influential
thinker.
"He was a very energetic, intellectual and friendly man, and
a terrific colleague who was always willing to shoulder extra
work," said Judge
MacPHERSON, who served as the Supreme Court's
executive legal officer in the early 1980s.
A famed Montreal criminal lawyer who acted in numerous sensational
trials, Mr.
LAMER also served as chairman of the Law Reform Commission
of Canada at its height in the late 1970s.
"He was a great civil libertarian," Criminal Lawyers Association
president Frank
ADDARIO said. "His judgments reflected a belief
that judges were, above all, independent, principled guardians
of the Constitution. He was unafraid to disappoint the government
or the police. He made a great contribution to modernizing criminal
law."
Mr. LAMER was one of a troika of judges in the mid-1980s who
- alongside Chief Justice Brian Dickson and Madam Justice Bertha
Wilson - came to be identified with a willingness to strike down
legislation and reform controversial areas of law.
In particular, Mr.
LAMER was instrumental in interpreting the
moral culpability involved in certain crimes, the right to legal
counsel and the right to be free of improper search and seizure.
However, his track record also transformed him into something
of a judicial lightning rod when a conservative backlash against
the Charter began to take root in the 1990s. Mr.
LAMER was stung
by criticisms from the right, and went so far at one point as
to urge his fellow judges to strike back and defend their role.
"He has often been falsely tagged as being unremittingly pro-accused,"
Prof. STEWARD/STEWART/STUART said yesterday. "A fair look at his record shows
that he also not infrequently favoured the state's law-enforcement
interests."
During his time as chief justice, the Supreme Court bench was
staggered by illness and strong-minded individualists who frequently
wrote their own concurring or dissenting reasons for judgment.
Yet Mr. LAMER managed to forge a strong record for administrative
efficiency. He was proud of having eliminated the court's backlog
and issuing timely judgments.
Mr. LAMER worked at the law firm Stikeman Elliott until shortly
before his death. Last year, he produced a major inquiry report
on three wrongful murder convictions in Newfoundland.
He was also an independent commissioner of the Communications
Security Establishment, the national code-breaking agency.
Antonio LAMER was born in Montreal on July 8, 1933, and died
in Ottawa on November 24, 2007, of a cardiac illness. He was
74. He leaves his wife, Danièle
TREMBLAY, son Stéphane and stepchildren
Jean-Frédéric and Mélanie.
Some of the key rulings in which Mr.
LAMER authored the majority
decision
R v. Collins The decision set important legal tests for the exclusion
of evidence illegally obtained by police.
R v. Swain The court struck down the automatic detention of those
acquitted of crimes on grounds of insanity.
R v. Smith The ruling struck down a mandatory minimum prison
sentence of seven years for those convicted of importing marijuana.
Reference re. S. 94(2) of the British Columbia Motor Vehicle
Act The court said that when looking for violations of the right
to life, liberty and security of the person, judges could look
beyond the fairness of mere procedures and decide whether the
actual substance of a law was fair.
R v. Vaillancourt A constructive murder provision was struck
down because the accused man - whose accomplice in a robbery
had killed a bystander - did not have the requisite "guilty mind"
to be found guilty of murder.
R v. Bartle One of several cases where he played a central role
in carving out a broad right to legal counsel.
R v. O'Connor The defence was given a right to see records involving
what a sexual-assault complainant told her therapist.
Delgamuukw The court had previously viewed aboriginal rights
as frozen based on their status when Europeans arrived in Canada.
It granted broad rights to aboriginal title on disputed lands.
