3 sought in Ryerson student shooting
By Morgan CAMPBELL,
Staff
Reporter
Toronto police are looking for three suspects after a man was
shot dead in his downtown apartment Friday night near Ryerson
University.
According to police, neighbours called when they heard arguing,
then gunshots from an apartment on the 10th floor of a high-rise
building on Gerrard St. E. near Yonge St. just before 10 p.m.
Friday.
When police arrived they found Will
KIM, a 30-year-old
university student, lying in the doorway to his apartment, wounded
from a gunshot.
Police at the scene investigated overnight and left the building
just after 1 p.m. yesterday carrying a few bags and a computer.
Minutes later a pair of
KIM's
Friends,
Jennifer
VEINOTTE and
Phil TAVERNER, arrived at the building.
VEINOTTE dabbed tears
from her eyes and described a friend she had known for four years.
"He was by far the most amazing person I ever met," she said.
"People like Will don't die. He had too many Friends."
The high-rise apartment building is across the street from Ryerson
University, where Friends say
KIM was a first-year architecture
student.
An autopsy is scheduled for today. Police believe robbery was
the motive. They describe one suspect as 25 to 30 years old,
5-foot-8 with a medium athletic build and a shaved head. He was
seen Friday night wearing a white do-rag and a green football
jersey with white letters. The other two are both described as
25 to 30 years old. One is about 5-foot-10 with a thin beard.

Noël YOUNG had vision for daycare
He wanted a seamless day for schoolchildren
'Incurable' optimist devoted life to youngsters
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
A playful, joyful giant of a man, Noël
YOUNG dedicated his life
to children, their care and their welfare -- even though it was
all theoretical until the birth of his own daughter just six
years ago.
Mieke was an amazing gift, he used to say, and this wasn't theory,
nor just the words of the smitten father he was. Four years before
she was born, he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and given
a few months to live. Perhaps it was his sunny, optimistic nature,
perhaps it was something else, but
YOUNG married his partner,
Canadian
Broadcasting
Corporation writer Ann
JANSEN, after his
diagnosis and New Year's Eve surgery, and lived another 10 years.
He died March 8 at age 51.
"When he was first sick, we never thought (having children) was
a possibility,"
JANSEN said. "But he stayed well and the desire
to have children is a very strong one. "
And he was someone who had a very strong sense of possibility.
"Cancer wasn't the only thing Noël had that was incurable. His
optimism was," said Geoff
WILLIAMS, a friend from their high
school days in Scarborough. "Until close to his death he rarely
expressed frustration or spoke of being upset with having cancer."
What did concern him -- greatly -- was establishing a child-care
program for school-aged children within a federally funded universal
child-care system. His vision was a seamless school day for children,
in which they could go to one place for school and daycare. He
was a founding member of the School Age Care Association of Ontario
and the author of a 1994 book Caring for Play: The School and
Child Care Connection.
He was the sparkplug behind a conference in Toronto six years
ago and the driving force behind the association newsletter "Exploring
Environments".
"He was very involved in things for children, advocacy for children,
not-for-profit children's care," said Martha
FRIENDLY, who saw
him the day after the federal budget was announced in February.
He had been staying in the palliative care unit at Toronto Grace
hospital since the beginning of the year and by then was having
some trouble speaking, but he wanted to know if the budget included
finally -- funding for child care.
FRIENDLY is chair of the University of Toronto Childcare Resource
and Research Unit, but she was one of a group of parents starting
up the Alternative Primary School in about 1982 when she hired
YOUNG to help with its faltering daycare. "He was tall -- about
6-foot-4 -- with a big, bushy head of red hair and I thought
he was just the cutest guy. I tend to make snap judgments. I
thought 'Okay, here's the guy (we need).'"
YOUNG told the hiring committee he wasn't strong on administration
and that became a running joke. He was a creative, compassionate,
imaginative and inspirational child-care worker: he started an
outdoor education program in which the daycare kids experienced
overnight outdoor camping, he designed a school-aged child-care
program that focused on what the kids were interested in, including
Friday afternoon swim lessons, but he never could pull together
a budget.
It was the same when he arrived in the early childhood education
program at George Brown College in 1987, ready to shake things
up at a school known for its focus on the infant and toddler
stages. He envisioned school boards and child-care centres working
together to provide the seamless day, and it now exists at the
early childhood education program funded by the province and
run by George Brown at Ryerson public school.
YOUNG also initiated an innovative Canadian social history project,
collecting archival photographs and organizing them into stories
of child care, health, women's work, poverty and racism he often
shared with classes at the college.
"He was trying to engage students in a more meaningful way of
learning about history, and for early childhood education students
to understand why we have the health care we have," said Pam
DOYLE, his friend and colleague at George Brown.
She worked on the project with
YOUNG in 1998. "He once affectionately
referred to me as 'his staff,'" she recalled. "It was a faux
pas he didn't make again."
But it was also typical of
YOUNG, who could talk his, mainly
female, colleagues into helping out and usually into doing the
majority of the detail work on the many projects, conferences
and causes he believed in. He got away with it because of his
infectious idealism, youthfulness and exuberance. Still his Peter
Pan-like ability to have the women in his life look after all
its practicalities had a female friend at George Brown threatening
to make up T-shirts proclaiming "I'm not Wendy."
He grew up in a family of women. "When he was born, everybody
was thrilled," said his sister Betty
VEITCH. He was the youngest
child and only boy, and his three sisters fought over who was
going to take him to school on his first day.
His father was an Anglican Church minister, idealistic and often
away administering to the needs of his parishioners, something
that wasn't lost on his son. When
YOUNG was about five, he disappeared
one day. The family finally found him having milk and cookies
at the home of the church organist who lived with her elderly
sister. He told his frantic mother he was "doing visiting just
like Dad does."
YOUNG began working with children at the former Bolton Camp for
underprivileged children and at the Eastview drop-in centre in
downtown Toronto while attending the University of Toronto. He
graduated -- eventually. "This was typical of how he approached
academia: he liked it in theory better than practice," said
WILLIAMS.
YOUNG started up and lived in a number of communal houses in
the city: "From the first house on Follis to the apartment above
the shawarma shop on College, in the house that shook in high
winds on Clinton, and during brief diversions to the foreign
lands east of the Don Valley Parkway, Noël managed to bring groups
of people together in various degrees of harmony,"
WILLIAMS noted.
YOUNG and
JANSEN made their home in a co-op near University of
Toronto and a Starbucks, where
YOUNG used to take his plastic
travel mug every morning for a fill-up. He got to know the staff
there so well, one of them started babysitting Mieke and another
signed up in George Brown's youth services program. "He was a
natural mentor," his wife said.
When he moved into the palliative care unit, the Starbucks staff
arranged delivery of coffee to him.
His surgery last fall wasn't successful, but it might have given
him an extra month or so of life, which he put to use. His was
a family devastated by cancer: both his twin sisters died of
it (Gwen had breast cancer and Lorraine ovarian cancer). His
father had died of pancreatic cancer and his mother died of leukemia.
Only Betty
VEITCH survived kidney cancer.
Trinity
Hospice organized a care team for
YOUNG that was soon
overflowing with Friends.
Pam DOYLE was a team member. "He still had ideas to the end.
He still wanted to get people to work on committees. He said
the team was life-giving; we were in awe of him."
When he still could, he did paddling exercises in his bed because
he was hoping he might be able to go on one more canoe trip to
Killarney. With
DOYLE, he worked out the details of the Noel
Young Award, which will be awarded to a student in George Brown's
early childhood education program who has shown a commitment
to advocacy and action.
About 450 people attended his memorial celebration at Trinity
St. Paul's Church last month. There were cards and condolences.
One was from Martha
FRIENDLY's daughter Abigail, now 25 and studying
in London, England. She was one of the kids at that daycare in
1982 where
YOUNG first worked. She used to pretend she wasn't
feeling well at school so she could sit with
YOUNG in the daycare.
"I always thought you were a giant," she wrote.
