In a weekend of gun violence, 11-year-old's death 'heartbreaking'
By Jessica
LEEDER with a report from Jennifer
LEWINGTON,
Page A1
It was around midnight Saturday when two telltale cracks cut
the sounds of happy partygoers and children playing outside right
out of the air.
The fast pattern of gunfire that followed sent mothers within
a North Toronto public housing complex into a panic. In No. 1880,
the centre block, some began hollering out the names of their
children, listening for their calls back.
While the shouting carried on, 11-year-old Ephraim
BROWN was
splayed on the ground in an alleyway next to the building, unable
to even speak his name. Caught in a rain of gunfire while zooming
around on his scooter, neighbours said, the Grade 6 pupil took
a bullet to the neck. By the time a brood of women from the complex
found him and carried him into a nearby unit to tend to him,
his blood pressure had dropped. It appeared they were too late.
"I was holding him in my arms," a women who gave her name as
Karen said. "As soon as I held him, I knew there was something
wrong. We were trying to do cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. We
were trying," she said, shaking her head.
Young Ephraim, the city's 43rd homicide victim of the year, was
one of three males in the Toronto area killed by gunfire over
the weekend, prompting renewed calls for a crackdown on illegal
guns and an end to the gang violence that has made the northern
corridor of Toronto's Jane Street notorious.
The Toronto shootings came as gun-related violence played out
in other Canadian cities over the weekend. Three women and a
man were shot outside a downtown nightclub in Winnipeg when a
man walked up to a group standing outside the entrance of the
club and fired seven shots before fleeing on foot, police said.
The man, believed to be a bouncer, was seriously injured. In
Halifax, Glenn Brian Bourgeois, 37, died Saturday afternoon after
he was shot several times and left on the street.
Toronto Mayor David Miller, the father of an 11-year-old, noted
that all shooting deaths are tragedies, but he called Ephraim's
death "exceptionally heartbreaking."
Late yesterday, while police continued their investigation into
the boy's shooting at the complex near the intersection of Jane
Street and Sheppard Avenue West, children on bicycles nonchalantly
wove over and under police tape, as if the yellow streamers were
simply decorations left over from a birthday party.
Among some violence-weary residents lounging in the hot afternoon
sun amidst the police tape, it seemed as if a malaise has set
in.
"Another life gone. Nothing we can do," one young mother said.
"It happens all the time. I'm not afraid it's spreading: I know
it's spread. Before this happened, this part of Jane… was considered
safe," she said.
Up the road at a community police detachment, Ephraim's family,
who moved to the complex only recently, appealed to their neighbours
for help in solving his killing.
"It could just as easily have happened to one of your family
members," Amanda
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
Ephraim's 23-year-old sister, said yesterday
while clutching her brother's picture to her chest and fighting
back tears.
"For those of you who don't know me or my family or my little
brother, I'm sure what I'm about to ask you is going to sound
like a really big favour," she said. "I'm asking if you know
anything, anything at all, you say something. We all know somebody
out there knows something."
While police have yet to make any arrests in the shooting, Toronto
Police
Detective
Sergeant Gary
GIROUX said police are working
with numerous witnesses. The incident has its roots in a birthday
party held at the complex Saturday that got out of hand when
rival gang members carrying handguns came face to face.
Ephraim was saying goodbye to some Friends, about to wheel his
way home, when numerous shots were fired, neighbours said.
Toronto Police Chief Blair yesterday vowed to make Ephraim's
shooters "pay for the terrible crime they committed."
He said he spoke with Mr. Miller and Attorney-General Michael
Bryant, and both pledged to do "anything and everything that
is required" to apprehend and prosecute the shooters, and to
stop the trend of violence in the area.
He also implored the community not to engage in retaliation.
"That will not bring the young boy back," he said.

Fatal stabbing shakes Toronto schools
Scarborough student slain at lunchtime
By TIMOTHY
APPLEBY with reports from Unnati
GANDHI,
Jennifer
LEWINGTON,
Karen
HOWLETT and Shawn
McCARTHY, Page A1
Toronto -- In a lunch-hour confrontation that dispatched fresh
shock waves across Toronto's school system, a 16-year-old Scarborough
student was stabbed to death yesterday on a walkway leading from
his high school.
Homicide detectives were hunting at least one suspect, seen fleeing
the crime scene at Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute in
a speeding car, and offered little insight into why the youth
- identified by CTV News last night as Denesh
MURUGIAH -
had been killed.
Suspicion, however, immediately fell on a long-simmering rivalry
between Tamil factions, whose animosity is believed responsible
for a firebombing and a stabbing in the same neighbourhood in
April.
What was certain was that the teen's death came just four months
after the shooting death of teenager Jordan
MANNERS in a high
school on the other side of the city. And, moreover, it had the
hallmarks of being planned.
"My Friends told me they saw the victim standing there when two
guys came up behind him and said, 'Do you want to do this now?'
recounted Ajay
MANGARA, 18, who lives a few doors from the
school, near Lawrence Avenue and Kennedy Road.
"Then they saw the guy screaming on the ground, 'Help me, help
me.' "
The teen was stabbed several times in the stomach and showed
no vital signs when paramedics responded to the 12: 05 p.m. call.
He died soon after in Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Word on the street is that the killing stemmed from "Tamil reprisals,"
Mr. MANGARA said, echoing the opinion of a Lawrence Avenue pizza
parlour operator that caters to many Winston Churchill pupils.
If so, it is not the first time police attention has been drawn
to a Tamil-based gang conflict, loosely spread across half a
dozen Scarborough schools.
Students milling around the collegiate in the bright sunshine
yesterday seemed to know little about the victim, a new arrival
in his second week of school, and some appeared strikingly unaffected.
As television cameras hovered, several urged their Friends, "Don't
snitch, don't talk."
Yesterday's killing was Toronto's 57th of 2007 - 11 more than
had occurred at the same time last year.
The principal suspect is thought to be a male with brown skin,
17 or 18 years old, about 5 foot 5, wearing black jeans, a black
zip-up hoodie and a bandana covering his face.
Also sought is a light blue Honda, probably a mid-1990s Civic,
in which the killer or killers are believed to have fled.
Whether any of them also attended Winston Churchill was unknown.
But 41-year-old floor installer Jim
NIKOLAKAKOS, an alumnus who
has lived close to the walkway for most of his life, said the
school has become markedly rougher in recent years and that tensions
were often evident.
"There's a lot of rivalry going on in the school - kids from
this school, kids from other schools - they get together in little
gangs and it's all, 'You said this, you said that,' " he said.
"The whole school has changed; inside there's graffiti all over
the place, it's not kept up. There's no respect any more for
anything… Things have changed."
Others familiar with the sprawling 1,200-student school disagreed.
Jessica COPELAND, 19, was a student for five years and wept yesterday
as she arrived home to learn what had taken place almost on the
doorstep of her Flora Drive home.
"I just can't believe something like this would happen at Churchill
it was a really good school for me, the teachers were nice,"
she said.
"There were incidents, yeah, but they were really contained and
personally I never saw anybody with any weapons, not in five
years. Nothing ever got out of hand like this."
Toronto
Police
Service Inspector Kathryn
MARTIN said much the
same.
"I'm very familiar with the neighbourhood, I've spent 13 years
working in 41 Division and this is a very good school… so I'm
thinking this is an incident unrelated to the school itself."
Winston Churchill, however, is adjacent to a community centre
that last year installed closed-circuit cameras because of fights.
And in the past, local councillor Michael
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON has asked
nearby retailers not to sell knives.
Mr. THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said of yesterday's homicide that he was "not shocked
but saddened."
Gerry CONNELLY, director of education at the Toronto District
School Board, denied rumours that the victim had been transferred
to Winston Churchill because of behavioural problems.
In fact, she said, the teen was a new student because he and
his family had moved into the Lawrence and Kennedy area from
Don Mills.
"I can't speak to behavioural issues, but he was not a transfer
student," she said.
The fatal stabbing nonetheless reignited the issue of safe schools,
which erupted in May after 15-year-old Jordan
MANNERS was shot
to death at his school in the Keele and Finch area.
As police quizzed witnesses: at nearby 41 Division yesterday,
Detective
Sergeant
Gary
GRINTON of the homicide squad alluded
to Jordan's death, in which two 17-year-olds have been charged
with first-degree murder, and appealed for public help.
"Do the right thing, come forward, man up," he urged the suspect.
Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty commented on the stabbing during
a campaign stop in Markham, Ontario, last night. "As Premier,
and maybe more importantly just as a dad, I wanted to express
my deepest sympathies to the family and Friends of this young
man who lost his life today in a senseless tragedy," he said.
Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory described the homicide
as symptomatic of a larger problem - the Liberal government's
alleged failure to crack down on violent crime.
"We simply let this kind of thing go on," Mr. Tory said. "We
simply have to deal with this kind of crime and the causes of
this kind of crime."

In loving memory of my Dad, John
LEWIS, who passed away January 16, 2003.
There were times you thought I didn't see,
Or that I didn't hear
Life's lessons that you taught me,
But I did get every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all
Or that we'd grow apart.
But Dad I picked up everything,
It's written in my heart.
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values
And I am so glad I did.
Throughout the years and all the tears,
I saw you get tired
So frightened I'd become,
And sad that this could be.
I tried to stay so strong for you,
To never see me cry.
I know you did the same for me
You'd even thought I didn't see
The tears you tried to hide
As I stood there by your side.
I thought you'd be okay now
To do simple things again.
All that you suffered seemed so unfair,
I still don't understand why
After all the hurdles that passed you by.
Please God, not for a while, yet I feared.
Deep down I knew the end was near.
And with God's grace
You left so suddenly
And didn't even say good-bye.
So many things still to say and do,
Dad, how I needed you.
To see your face, and hear your voice
To know I can't, it's not my choice.
For in my heart, you hold a place
No one can ever fill.
Poppa, in life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
I cannot express how proud
I am to have had you as my Dad.
"Miegwetch" Poppa.
Your daughters, Thecla and Patricia.

DAVIES, John Picton and Beverley Ann (née
LEWIS)
John Picton
DAVIES died suddenly of congestive heart failure
on Thursday, November 8, 2007. He was 87. Born in Ton Pentre,
Wales in 1920, Picton enjoyed Jack London novels, hiking, exploring
caves, and climbing mountains. His determination and intelligence
led to notable achievements throughout his life. At age ten he
played violin in an otherwise all-adult orchestra. He won scholarships
to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University. After graduating
from Cambridge, he joined the British Army 3rd Infantry Division,
where he was the youngest officer in his battalion. On June 12,
1944 at the age of twenty-four he landed in France in command
of a landing craft, and thirty men. He fought through France
and Germany, and remained in the occupying forces until after
the war ended. He emigrated to Canada in 1947 and began a successful
corporate career in Montreal and later Toronto. He married Iris
Elanor BENTLEY in 1958. They had three sons Tudor, Morgan, and
Trevor. Iris died of cancer in March, 1969. Picton remarried
that December to Beverly Ann
LEWIS, a primary school teacher.
With her encouragement he earned his Chartered Financial Analyst
(CFA) Charter, and started his own business, The Polymetric
Report. He retired in the year 2000 at the age of eighty. He
remained independent and active until the very end. Beverley
Ann DAVIES (née
LEWIS) died at home on November 11, 2007 at age
74, at home, with her family, after a lengthy and courageous
battle against Hepatitis C with multiple complications. Born
in 1933 in Guelph, Ontario, she often reminisced about growing
up in Peterborough during the Great Depression. After her first
day of school, she told her mother, 'I love school. I'm going
to be a teacher.' Ann grew up to be a highly respected elementary
school teacher in Hamilton, Calgary and Toronto. She took particular
pride in teaching children to read. Former students would often
greet her decades later with fond memories of her classes. Ann
married Picton
DAVIES in 1969. They enjoyed travels in Europe
and New England and had a particular love for Stowe, Vermont.
Ann often combined her love of travel with her activities in
the Peace movement and Voice of Women. She was also an active
member of Parkwoods United Church. Ann's generous, outgoing nature,
her marvelous stories and unique sense of humour brought joy
to many people. She will be deeply missed by her family and her
many Friends. Ann and Picton are survived by Ann's sister Barbara,
Picton's brother Mostyn and his sister Moya, their sons Tudor,
Morgan and Trevor, and their grandchildren Meredith and Graham.
A Celebration of Life for Ann and Picton
DAVIES will be held
at Parkwoods United Church, 85 Parkwoods Village Drive, Don Mills,
Ontario on Friday, November 16 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers,
donations to your favorite charity would be appreciated by their

LEWIS,
Richard▲
Husband, father, friend, canoeist, pharmacist, philanthropist.
Born March 19, 1948, in Sudbury. Died May 29 in Toronto of leukemia,
aged 59.
By Jan SILVERMAN,
Page L6
Richard was a gentleman and a gentle man.
As a pharmacist who took the time to make house calls, Richard
expressed his caring and sense of community through his profession.
When he delivered prescriptions to clients who were elderly or
confined to home he would organize their medications and check
their medicine cabinets to make sure they didn't have products
that had expired or weren't needed.
Richard donated blood and platelets, and on one of these occasions
he discovered he had leukemia. The disease ran through him in
eight months. Yet during that time he greeted his first niece
and saw Friends married in his back garden.
Everyone who saw the garden remarked on its beauty, but it was
never Richard's intention to impress others with his actions.
He did things simply because they gave him joy, or because they
were the right things to do.
Richard was delighted by the nurturing involved in being a dad,
even though he had hardly touched a baby before the first of
our two children arrived. In 1981, there was no maternity leave
for people who adopted a child, so I was back at work in six
days and Richard happily took on 50 per cent of the responsibility
for tiny Mara, our daughter.
When Richard set himself a goal, he accomplished it. One of these
was to build a canoe. Even while working long hours as a pharmacist,
he took a course and built a cedarstrip canvas canoe, which he
dedicated to our son, Jesse.
Canoeing and the outdoors were a big part of Richard's life.
Every year, we went on a canoe trip to Killarney, Ontario Richard
was the planner, making sure everything was organized. A friend
called him Ranger Rick - he was always prepared.
Richard quietly gave his time and money to causes that were important
to him, including Project C.A.N.O.E., which provides wilderness
canoe trips for at-risk youth, and Darchei Noam - The Reconstructionist
Synagogue of Toronto.
Although raised in a non-practising Jewish family, Richard loved
being part of this community and joined the fundraising committee
for the synagogue's new building. The community responded by
being there in action and in spirit throughout his illness.
It is ironic that drugs would fail this pharmacist, never offering
him a day's remission. Richard hung on for our 28th anniversary
on May 27, when we renewed our vows in a lovely, simple bedside
ceremony before our children.
I offered Richard excitement and he offered me peace and understanding.
I was his inhale, and he was my exhale.
Jan SILVERMAN is Richard's wife.
