Andrea BRONFMAN, 60, killed by car
Associated Press
New York - Andrea
BRONFMAN, wife of former Seagrams chairman
Charles BRONFMAN, was killed yesterday in a traffic accident.
BRONFMAN, 60, was hit by a car and died of her injuries, the
Andrea and Charles Philanthropies organization said in a news
release.
"It's a tragic catastrophe," said Irving
ABELLA, a close friend
of the BRONFMANs and head of Jewish studies at Toronto's York
University. "She and her husband have done so much not only for
Jews and Israel, but for Canada. They've funded a whole variety
of cultural and academic endeavours."
ABELLA called Andrea
BRONFMAN's greatest achievement a travelling
exhibit of Canadian Jewish history called a Coat of Many Colours.
"She was the inspiration, the creator and the funder of the exhibit,"
he said. "It really was the start for Canadian Jewish history
in the sense that it talked about the contributions and the life
of Jews in Canada, right from the 1750s on."
Jewish communities in Canada and around the world were mourning
the death of
BRONFMAN, known to Friends and family as Andy. She
and her husband have five children and six grandchildren.
BRONFMAN
served as founder and deputy chair of The Gift of New York, a
non-profit initiative which provided admission to New York City's
cultural, arts, entertainment and sports venues, without charge,
to the bereaved families of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In 2003, she founded The Association for Israel's Decorative
Arts, to expose Israeli artists to North American galleries and
collectors, as well as to educate North Americans about decorative
arts in Israel.
Charles BRONFMAN established the Andrea M. Bronfman Prize for
the Arts (The Andy) to honour his wife's lifelong passion for
and support of the arts, and to create a showcase for Israeli
decorative artists.
Andrea and Charles
BRONFMAN were co-founders of Birthright Israel,
a program offering 18- to 26-year-olds their first Jewish living
and learning experience in Israel. In just six years, almost
100,000 participants have benefited from the program.
"There was an undeniable force that seemed to emanate from Andy
and make good things happen for many, many people," said Jeffrey
Solomon, president of Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies.
"She derived much of that energy from the young people whom she
made it her purpose to serve."
A spokesperson at the United Jewish Federation in Toronto says
BRONFMAN's funeral will be held in New York, with plans for burial
in Israel.
Police said no charges were filed against the driver who hit
BRONFMAN.

ABERHART,
William, 1943 -- Died This Day
Teacher, preacher and politician born on a farm near Kippen,
Ontario
After training as a teacher, and graduating from Queen's University
in Kingston, Ontario, he taught at several schools until he became
a principal in 1905. Five years later, he went to Calgary, again
as a principal. A devout churchgoer, he became deeply interested
in the Baptist faith in Calgary and took up preaching. By 1923,
his Bible studies were so popular he had to rent a cinema; two
years later, he took his message to the radio. During the Depression,
he turned to politics and the "social credit" theories of C.H.
Douglas. He helped found the Social Credit Party of Alberta,
which won the 1935 election by a landslide. Unable to get control
of the banks, which were the domain of Ottawa, he tried to bring
in three new bills. Lieutenant-Governor John Bowen refused to
give royal assent, and the bills were later declared unconstitutional.
In 1938, Bowen took steps to fire the government but never carried
out his threat --
ABERHART was too popular. Although he never
got control of Alberta's banks, he created the Alberta Treasury
Branches. Today, it is a Crown corporation.

BADGER,
D.
Gordon
Gordon passed away unexpectedly but peacefully while napping
in a little stone cottage in beautiful rural Ireland, a land
he truly loved, on his septuagenarian elopement and honeymoon
vacation with his new bride, Marilyn
WEIR.
Tragically,
Marilyn
has had their happiness together cut far too short. Gordon never
wasted any time - he knew there might not be a tomorrow and lived
each and every day with gusto. Great friend, mentor and presence
to so many. Larger than life character with an intellect, enthusiasm
and energy that touched a broad spectrum of people in many ways.
Missed by a host including the children he loved; Storey, Matthew,
Lawrie and Gregg; their mothers Marilyn
(McFATRIDGE) and Heather
(JACKSON;) grandchildren Hartley and Spencer
VIBERT and Will
and Sydney
BADGER; and in-laws Matthew
VIBERT and Kate
HUNTER-
BADGER.
Pre-deceased by his loving daughter Martha, wife of many years
Vicky (MacCAUSLAND,) sister Donna Marie
ABERLE and parents Donald
and Edith BADGER.
Born in Cayuga, Ontario May 8, 1936. Chartered
Accountant (Clarkson and Gordon) and entrepreneur extraordinaire,
'Badge' had a colorful career that included the founding of Homemakers
Digest and most recently real estate development in Florida,
with countless adventures in between. He never stopped and was
enjoying some of his best successes recently. Gordon had a wonderful
ability to embrace life and enjoy it thoroughly. He did so in
the comfort of his home in Creemore Ontario where he weighed
in generously and meaningfully on community issues; recently
in Melbourne, Florida where he was doing business with the enthusiasm
of a youngster; in the Domincan Republic where he also made a
home and embraced the people there who loved and respected him
and to whom he showed the generosity of a true Santa Claus; and
the cottage where he perhaps enjoyed life with family and Friends
most on Playfair Island, Lake Joseph. He created an environment
there that became the foundation for the family. With all of
this in his life, and the prospect of sharing it in his sunset
years with his new love, he died truly happy. He was a wonderfully
unique character, a raconteur who entertained and delighted all.
He has left us alone, and we will grieve, but his spirit will
remain in our hearts forever. A service will be held for Friends
and family at Bloor Street United Church, 300 Bloor St. West,
Toronto on Monday, May 8, 2006 (his 70th birthday) at 4: 30 p.m.
More importantly, the major celebration of his life that he directed
include martinis and good wine will take place at the Badger
Hill farm near Creemore on Saturday, June 24 with tee-offs for
those who wish to golf on Badger Downs starting at 2 p.m. Friends
should please mark you calendars for then and let a family member
know if you need directions or help with accommodation. In lieu

Scarborough man, 22, was target, police say
By Armina LIGAYA and Timothy
APPLEBY,
Page

Reynaldo SANTOS was letting the dog out early on Sunday morning
when he made a grisly discovery in his backyard.
Near the back door of the family's Scarborough home lay the lifeless
body of his 22-year-old son, Patrick.
An official police statement said the young Mr.
SANTOS showed
"obvious signs of trauma." A police source who asked not to be
identified said the young man's hands had been bound.
"We don't believe it was a random attack. We believe he was targeted,"
said Detective-Sergeant Dean
BURKS. A postmortem examination
has been conducted, but the cause of death has not been released.
While police believe Mr.
SANTOS was targeted, there's little
doubt that Piratheep
THARMAKULASINGAM, 25 -- slain just hours
after Mr. SANTOS's body was found and one of three people killed
on Sunday -- was singled out for death.
Mr. THARMAKULASINGAM was walking along Huntsmill Boulevard, near
Warden and McNicoll Avenues, when a car jumped the curb and hit
him, police said. The driver then jumped out, attacked him repeatedly
with a machete, hopped into the vehicle and fled.
Police responding to a 911 call at 10 a.m. found him injured
on the grass. He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead. A postmortem
examination showed Mr.
THARMAKULASINGAM died from "sharp force
injuries to the neck," police said.
A warrant has been issued for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE, 19, of Richmond
Hill, on a charge of first-degree murder.
Also yesterday, police identified Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE, 35,
as the third person killed Sunday. Mr.
WHITE/WHYTE, of no fixed address,
was on King Street West in Parkdale when he was shot to death.
On Bridlington Street, where the
SANTOS family lives, neighbours
say they were shocked to find their suburb swarming with police
early Sunday.
The SANTOS home, a white, sixties-era backsplit with a garden
and a swing set in the back, has been sealed with police tape.
"You think you live in a secluded pocket… you never think something
like this is going to happen here," said Wayne
BRIDGER, a retired
fireman who lives across the street.
The SANTOS family are "very nice, very friendly," but keep to
themselves, he said.

Man chased by car, hacked in 'set up' machete slaying
First-degree murder warrant issued
One of 3 homicides in 4½-hour period
By John DUNCANSON and Betsy
POWELL,
Staff
Reporter
Piratheep THARMAKULASINGAM was walking home, unaware someone
lay in wait.
He tried to run, but a man in a car chased the frightened unemployed
factory worker down a quiet Scarborough street around 10 a.m.
Sunday.
The driver then got out of the car and repeatedly hacked at
THARMAKULASINGAM's
head and body with a machete before fleeing.
THARMAKULASINGAM,
who was going through a marital separation, was found on the
lawn of a home on Huntsmill Blvd. The 25-year-old died in hospital
of severe neck wounds, one of three homicides in a 4½-hour period
early Sunday. He is to be cremated Thursday.
According to the dead man's brother, Suren, his older sibling
was attacked after he had left his "lover's" home after arguing
with her. Suren is convinced "Deep" was set up.
Police issued a first-degree murder warrant yesterday for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE, 19, of Richmond Hill. Suren, 23, said his "much-loved"
brother didn't know the suspect, but the wanted man is the cousin
of his brother's lover, a former girlfriend.
"What's the motive? He didn't even know him (the suspect)," Suren
said as he gathered with Friends and family at their Chester
Le Boulevard home. "He hid his emotions. He only lived for us,
everyone loved him."
THARMAKULASINGAM's slaying, the 51st of the year, was the third
homicide to take place over a 4½ hour period Sunday morning.
The outburst of violence broke a relative calm in which there
had been only three other homicides in the past month.
There are nine fewer homicides compared to this time last year
and firearms slaying are down significantly.
The first homicide Sunday was a shooting some time before 5: 30 a.m.
at a three-storey Parkdale apartment known to be used by drug
addicts.
There they found Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE, 35, shot in the head,
but still alive. He was taken to Saint Michael's Hospital where
he died.
Detective Gary
GRINTON said
WHITE/WHYTE, who had an extensive criminal
record, was last seen at Dufferin and King Sts. around 6 p.m.
Saturday night. He was found shot on the second floor of the
building, which police know as a site where drug addicts hang
out.
Two▼ hours after
WHITE/WHYTE was shot, police in Scarborough received
a 911 call from a home on Bridlington Street, just off Bellamy Rd.
near Ellesmere Rd.
A father found his son, Patrick
SANTOS, dead in the family's
backyard just steps from the back door about 7: 30 a.m.

Slain man had been shot in head before
By Tracy HUFFMAN,
Crime
Reporter
Police found the drug addict standing on King St. W. suffering
from gunshot wounds to the head, arm and shoulder.
Two▲ years later that man -- Christopher James
WHITE/WHYTE -- was dying
on the floor of a flophouse in that same neighbourhood with another
gunshot wound to the head. That was Sunday morning. This time
he did not survive.
WHITE/WHYTE, 35, was well known in Parkdale, but homicide detectives
have very little information about where he was in the 12 hours
before the shooting, or who may be responsible for his murder.
"We have no witnesses. No motive," said Det. Dan
SHEPPARD of
the 5: 20 a.m. shooting.
Two▲ years ago, when police found
WHITE/WHYTE standing in the same neighbourhood
with gunshot wounds, he likely knew who shot him but refused
to help with the investigation,
SHEPPARD said.
WHITE/WHYTE's slaying is one of three unrelated homicides in a 4½-hour
period Sunday morning.
Two hours later on Bridlington Street, near Bellamy and Ellesmere
Rds., a man found his 22-year-old son, Patrick
SANTOS, dead in
the backyard of the family home. Police remain tight-lipped about
the investigation, the man's cause of death and the motive behind
the killing.
Around 10 a.m. a third man was killed, struck by a car and then
repeatedly stabbed with a machete by the driver. Piratheep
THARMAKULASINGAM,
25, collapsed in front of a home on Huntsmill Blvd., near Steeles
Ave. E. and Warden Ave.
A first-degree murder warrant has been issued for Sujan
ABEYEWARDENE,
19, of Richmond Hill. Homicide detectives plan to release a photograph
of the wanted man today after showing it to potential witnesses:
yesterday.
"We have checked his known addresses… his home address, his place
of employment," said homicide Det. Bill
VIEIRA. "He has not been
found."
