In loving memory of a dear Mother and Grandmother, Hazel, who
passed away June 30, 1995.
There is nothing treasured and nothing so rare,
As the love of a mother that a family could share.
Through joy, through laughter, through sorrow and tears,
There develops a closeness that grows through the years.
This love that we share doesn't need to be spoken,
It's a wonderful bond that can never be broken,
To us, Mother, you were someone special
We miss you more each day,
The saddest day of our lives
Was the day you passed away.

Bob▲"
William Robert
STODDART was born April 4, 1932 in Flesherton,
the eldest son of Norman and Hazel
STODDART. He spent his early
years in Flesherton working construction. Bob met a "little country
girl" from Springhill prior to leaving for Toronto and she convinced
him that it would be worth his while to come to Toronto where
she already resided.
In 1951 he began what would be a 42 year career in the rubber
retread industry, where he was a hard working and dedicated individual.
Bob and Joan were married on September 4, 1954 in Flesherton
and continued to reside in Toronto. In November 1956 a son Michael
arrived followed by a daughter Lori in June 1962. In July 1963
Bob and Joan decided to move west to a little satellite city
formerly known as Bramalea, now a part of the City of Brampton.
They were blessed with two grandchildren, Kyle and Alyssa. Bob,
better known as "Gamps", enjoyed taking on many roles from contestant
on The Price is Right to a professional pumpkin carver on Halloween.
In 1994 Bob and Joan retired sold their home and moved back to
their old haunts. They built their new home at Lake Eugenia where
they made many new Friends. Bob loved the outdoors, enjoyed becoming
a snow bird in Florida and most of all spending time with his
family and Friends.
A service was held at the Fawcett Funeral Home, conduct ed by

Church overflowing for funeral of 'bright star'
'Don't let his name be forgotten,' uncle asks during two-hour
ceremony
By Alex DOBROTA,
Page
A14
To his Friends and relatives, he was an artistic teenager with
a fascination for snakes and pranks, who still sucked on his
thumb at times - a star that burned out ahead of its time.
But to the hundreds of mourners who knew him little yet still
showed up to celebrate his memory yesterday, Jordan
MANNERS became
an icon for the damage gun crime has wrought in their community.
Thirty minutes before the funeral of the 15-year-old began yesterday
morning, the main room at Christian Centre Church, near Jane
Street and Finch Avenue, was already filled to capacity.
Hundreds more people packed the hallways, the balconies and a
nearby gymnasium to watch a live feed of the proceedings. About
200 stood outside the church braving scorching heat. About as
many waited at Beechwood Cemetery.
"I think it really struck a chord in the minds of people," said
Pastor Dino
ANDREADIS, who officiated at the ceremony. "I've
done high-profile funerals, but never like this. I think this
will really make a difference."
The church has a capacity of about 1,000 and Mr.
ANDREADIS estimates
more than 1,500 showed up yesterday.
The teen was shot last Wednesday inside his school, C.W. Jefferys
Collegiate Institute. Two 17-year-old youths have been charged
with first-degree murder.
After collapsing with grief on a chair steps away from his coffin,
his mother, Laureen
SMALL, took one last look at her son. She
then watched pallbearers close the casket and the two-hour-long
ceremony began.
One of Jordan's aunts told how he sucked on his thumb at times
during his sleep. One of his teachers described how he easily
reproduced a complicated architecture diagram in less than an
hour. And the story of how Jordan brought snakes into his house
elicited a rare moment of laughter.
"The world lost a bright, bright star," his aunt, Louisa
MANNERS,
said during her eulogy.
During one of the most emotional moments, Jordan's school mate
and friend, Matthew
ALAY, burst into tears and was unable to
read a speech, which was delivered by a relative. "Jordan, may
your soul rest in peace. I love you," the boy only managed to
utter between sobs.
Other relatives said Jordan's death should serve as a call to
action against gun violence in the community. "He's not a statistic,"
his uncle Gregory
STOKES said. "Don't let his name be forgotten."
As the mourners spilled out in the parking lot after the ceremony,
many young people expressed anger and disgust at the shooting.
"Our young man are dying and dying and this ain't right" said
14-year-old Jessica
PAZMINO, who said she never met Jordan, but
decided to come to the funeral to show support. "Hopefully, this
will teach people a lesson."
"People are realizing that this is disgusting," said Martha
BOTENG,
19. "I see people coming together more."
Beside her, the car carrying Jordan's casket set slowly in motion
toward Beechwood Cemetery, followed by two lowriders - cars with
modified hydraulics and suspension so as to allow the driver
to bounce the vehicle up and down to the rhythm of hip-hop music.
In their wake, traffic on Jane Street backed up several blocks
and the storm clouds gathering above shed a few drops.

job than looking after golf courses, where it's crucial to understand
grass and machinery. He spent his days, and many of his nights,
tending to both with abiding care.
Where Mr. AMSLER grew grass, golf courses and golfers always
benefited. The Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario, which
hosted the Canadian Open on its North course last month, was
no exception. As director of agronomy, he was responsible for
the care and maintenance of the North and the South course, which
was the site of the 2002 Canadian Open.
In 1991, he was right there for the formidable task of turning
a former horse farm into Angus Glen. Every year, golfers play
90,000 rounds at the club's two courses, which became popular
during Mr.
AMSLER's tenure for daily-fee play and corporate tournaments.
He and his staff kept the courses up and running and in immaculate
condition even while golfers were playing, which he managed by
staggering the maintenance work so that scarcely a stroke was
disturbed. Mr.
AMSLER was on the property most days by 4 a.m.,
three hours before he expected his staff to arrive. He was the
first to show up and usually the last to leave.
Mr. AMSLER loved nothing better than to get up on a bulldozer
or some other piece of machinery to do the hard work of construction
and grunt work that a good course demands. Course maintenance
is all about three things: drainage, drainage and drainage. Whenever
it rained, Mr.
AMSLER had to restrain himself from immediately
getting on a machine and digging a ditch. When the South course
needed a couple of new teeing areas before the 2002 Canadian
Open, he built them himself. Just before this year's Canadian
Open, he realized that a large hill on the North course's 18th hole
made a cart path there dangerous. He fired up the bulldozer,
scraped off the hill and laid down asphalt. Presto, he had made
a hazardous area safe. Over the years, his willingness and ability
to do the hard work saved the club hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ernie AMSLER grew up in Schoenenwerd, a small town halfway between
Zurich and Basel in northwestern Switzerland. One of his first
jobs as a youngster was helping to deliver groceries by truck.
He had been fascinated by cars since an early age, and soon became
an expert at repairing them. He was particularly taken by Volkswagens.
His interest in cars broadened after he came to Canada in 1966,
and eventually he was buying and restoring such automobiles as
Mini Coopers and Mercedes.
Mr. AMSLER first lived in the Toronto area with his sister Erika,
who had preceded him to Canada. He'd enjoyed skiing in Switzerland
and soon took to Canada's vast spaces and the idea of making
an impression on the landscape. His first job was in landscaping,
where he learned to wield the heavy machinery that became the
instruments of his craftsmanship. He subsequently worked at various
golf clubs in southern and south-central Ontario, including Windmills
Golf Club, Port Carling Golf Club, the Mandarin Golf and Country
Club in Markham, and, finally, Angus Glen.
"He could do anything with machinery," said Gordon
STOLLERY,
the owner of Angus Glen. "It didn't matter if it was a bulldozer,
a back hoe or an aerator -- he knew how to work it. Ernie was
also a true gentleman, by which I mean a gentle man."
Notwithstanding his courtly manner, Mr.
AMSLER was as demanding
of his staff as he was of himself. Angus Glen employees knew
he monitored them to make sure they carried out his orders. At
the same time, he was willing to admit when he made a mistake.
A stickler for keeping the equipment in top shape, he took particular
care that his staff cleaned the machinery at the end of each
working day. It was important, for example, to make sure that
gaskets were dry; otherwise, a fire might start.
So it was that one day Mr.
AMSLER, in his take-charge way, used
one of the bigger machines to cut the high fescue bordering the
fairways. At the end of the day, he parked the machine in a back
barn and, somehow, a fire broke out. Mr.
AMSLER had neglected
to do the proper cleaning. He told his staff, "You see, this
is what can happen when we don't do the proper cleaning."
Another time, Mr.
AMSLER was on a machine called a Bobcat when
it hit a gas line. Everybody in the vicinity withdrew, fearing
for their safety. He calmly fixed the line, and was soon asking
where everyone had gone.
As much as Mr.
AMSLER expected to be in charge of everything
on the course, it wasn't always possible to exert the same kind
of control off the course. In December of 1999, his son Daniel,
who was born with cerebral palsy that affected one side of his
body, was in a serious car accident. He was driving on Highway 403
when a ladder fell from a transport truck ahead of him. He swerved
to avoid the truck and his car flipped twice. Daniel's right
leg was mangled, and he spent the next 2½ weeks in a Mississauga
hospital. Mr.
AMSLER visited his son every day.
Meanwhile, he continued to put in long days and evenings at Angus
Glen.
With
Chip, his border collie, on the seat beside him, Mr.
AMSLER
made his rounds driving a golf cart as if at a speedway.
Five weeks before this year's Canadian Open, Mr.
AMSLER became
ill and was admitted to hospital where he was visited, among
others, by Kevin
THISTLE, president of Angus Glen. After undergoing
some tests, Mr.
AMSLER was discharged, but he wasn't expected
back at work. Inevitably, he showed up at the club. Mr.
THISTLE
asked him what he was doing there, and got the expected shrug,
as if Mr. AMSLER were saying, "This is where I belong." It was
clear, however, that he was ill and Mr.
THISTLE later insisted
that he go home. "I almost had to issue a restraining order."
Even so, Mr.
AMSLER did manage to prepare some fields for a temporary
pavilion needed for the Canadian Open, and rode a bulldozer for
three days in 38-degree heat.
Before long, he was readmitted to hospital, unhappy to be away
as the Canadian Open drew near. Nor did he like being away from
a new facility he was building for Mr.
STOLLERY in nearby Goodwood.
Yet, in a way, he never did leave his work. From his hospital
bed, he placed orders for sand for the new golf course.
"Ernie loved being outside," Mr.
THISTLE said. "That's where
he most wanted to be. You'd see him at night, driving around
the property, and in the morning, he'd meet the same guys for
coffee before he'd come to the club. I lived right beside his
office when I first came to Angus Glen. He'd come in at four
in the morning and honk his horn to wake me up."
The 2007 Open went on without Mr.
AMSLER, although much of the
credit for its success went to him. At the end of every tournament,
the Professional Golfers' Association Tour issues a report on
the host course. In advance of the tournament, Professional Golfers'
Association Tour agronomist Jon Scott evaluated the work done
at Angus Glen's North course to prepare for the Canadian Open
and gave credit to "one of the greatest grass growers I've met
in the business, head superintendent Ernie
AMSLER."
Ernst AMSLER was born December 4, 1940, in Schoenenwerd, Switzerland.
He died of complications from a liver-related condition at Southlake
Hospital in Newmarket, Ontario, on July 24, 2007. He was 66.
He is survived by his wife, Pia, and by his sons Daniel and Roland
from an earlier marriage to Therese
LEDREW, with whom he remained
a close friend. He also leaves his sisters Erika and Erna, and
his brother Kurt.

Pol MARTIN, 78: Epicure
By M.J. STONE,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S12
When a friend telephoned Pol
MARTIN in the middle of her dinner
party to lament the failed meal she was preparing, he told his
panic-stricken friend to leave the back door open. He hurried
over to her house, swept in unnoticed and deftly rescued the
feast she had been attempting to orchestrate. The dinner party
was a hit and none of the guests had the slightest clue that
the meal had been created by one of North America's most celebrated
chefs.
Although Mr.
MARTIN could not make house calls to every cook
in a crisis, he was welcomed into kitchens across North America,
via his culinary television shows and the more than 30 cookbooks
he authored. His sage advice about meal preparation centred on
the basics. With proper guidance, good cooking is very simple,
he said. "The more fun you have in the kitchen, the more you
will want to try."
Born Pol HALNA DU
FRETAY in Brittany, he was the
son of an aristocratic
French military officer. He grew up in a castle which he once
almost set ablaze through an early attempt at cooking. He studied
to become a chef at the École hôtelière de Paris and emigrated
to Canada in 1954. He crossed the country working in the kitchens
of the Canadian Pacific Hotel chain, before he was hired as a
saucier at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan. In 1967, he moved
to Montreal where he managed the once chic and now-defunct restaurant,
Mother Martin's. It was during his tenure there that he came
to be known as Pol
MARTIN. He said that his new name suited his
adopted country, noting that Halna du Fretay was too high-brow
for Canadian tastes.
In 1970, he began focusing on culinary education. He opened his
Montreal cooking school, L'Ecole Culinaire Pol Martin, and began
making appearances on French television in Quebec. In 1973, he
published his first book The Art of Cooking and also hosted The
Art of Cooking, a nationally broadcast CTV television program.
Lighthearted, and blessed with an infectious sense of humour,
his personality was a perfect fit for the small screen. In 1981,
three years after the show went off the air, Mr.
MARTIN closed
his cooking school and moved to Port Credit, Ontario There, he
devoted himself to writing such books as Love at First Bite and
Smart and Simple Cooking while simultaneously managing two French-language
culinary magazines, Télé-cuisine and Santé menu.
Mr. MARTIN remained a much sought-after guest on television and
radio talk shows across North America. He was a huge hit on Live
with Regis and Kathie Lee and is remembered today by the producer,
Victoria Lang, as one of funniest chefs to appear on the show.
She also liked his recipes. "Anybody can look at Easy Cooking
and complete a recipe successfully. I have a lot of cookbooks,
but I especially like this one."
What made his cookbooks so successful was a culinary philosophy
that centred around the idea that should be mere starting points.
They were not meant to be followed religiously. Mr.
MARTIN described
his recipes as dependable, simple dishes that allow cooks to
improvise, so that it can be made by everyone, not just gourmets.
"I have vulgarized French food," he once said during an interview.
His daughter, Melissa
HALNA DU
FRETAY, said that, as a child,
the kitchen had been the centre of family life. "My brother and
I served the multi-course dinners that my father and mother would
host at our family home in Pointe Claire. We learned early about
table etiquette and hospitality. Those dinners were always joyous
events in an era when a five-hour dinner was normal. Or at least
it was at our house."
Pol MARTIN was born in Nantes, France, on August 3, 1929. He
died of cancer at home in Carlisle, Ontario, on September 16,
2007. He was 78. He is survived by his second wife, Suzanne,
and by three children from a previous marriage, Melissa, Brett
and Abigail.
