LAWRENCE,
Kathleen
Patricia
Mediator, traveller, nature enthusiast, cat aficionado, devoted
partner. Born January 11, 1951, in Ottawa. Died July 16 in Toronto
of cancer, aged 56.

Life is a gift, and sometimes we're given other wonderful gifts
such as Kathleen. She shared her wit, wisdom, depth and compassion.
Her life was lived around the globe - Kingston, Toronto, Gimli,
Manitoba, Rochester, New York Germany, England and Ireland.
After completing a bachelor of arts degree in Ottawa and
at Queen's
University, she earned a master's degree in education at the
University of Toronto.
Kathleen's early career involved working with disturbed children
in residential care. Most recently, she was a mediator with the
Ontario Public Service Employees Union.
"Activist" would be too strong a term for someone quiet and modest
whose listening skills and calm demeanour stood out.
Kathleen's easygoing nature could be a challenge, however, dallying
when others had time restraints. She perpetually seemed to be
running behind.
Fond memories were "anything linked to a sense of freedom, adventure
and wonder."
From gardening to tennis, yard sales to rollerblading, art lessons
to cycling, she was passionate about life.
When living on her own, she would stop at yard sale after yard
sale until forced to drive home with her car laden down.
This led to quite an accumulation of treasures, and many might
have viewed her home as that of a pack rat.
She never hesitated to be silly. She told me about a yard sale
purchase of two chairs. "I got them for a song… but I also had
to pay $10." I responded: "Do you think you might have gotten
them for $5 if you hadn't sung?"
Kathleen was devoted to her cats, Ben and Mookie. She could be
accused of overindulging them, as they were often treated to
choice cuts of meat served on china dishes.
Her favourite colour was yellow - a colour associated with someone
who is active, involved, spontaneous, interesting and warm -
appropriate for Kathleen, who took time to listen.
Kathleen met her partner, Majda, when a rollerblading tumble
sent her in search of a chiropractor. She wished they had met
sooner. She cherished the lifelong closeness she shared with
her siblings, and the early deaths of her brother Michael and
sister Maureen were unbearable losses.
She asked me to write a eulogy for her funeral, which I gladly
agreed to do as long as someone else would do the reading. "Well,
maybe you could sing!" she chuckled. Her sense of humour did
not falter throughout her illness.
Co-workers spoke of her sense of justice and her ethics. Kathleen
is remembered by her family as its heart, a woman who lived her
life with great energy and gentle appreciation for all she encountered.
Shirley ASH is Kathleen's friend.

The chase, the taxi and a neighbourhood in mourning
By Margaret
PHILP and Omar EL
AKKAD,
Page A1
Toronto -- Monique and Aleisha were best Friends taking a taxi
home from a relative's house in the early hours of Saturday morning.
They would never know it, but they shared many mutual Friends
with the 15-year-old boy racing blindly toward them in a stolen
Acura being chased by two police cruisers. The three teens had
even grown up in the same northwest Toronto neighbourhood.
The stolen car smashed into Monique and Aleisha's taxi at 2 a.m.
on Saturday. By the time the sun came up, two of the three teens
were dead and the third in hospital, clinging to life.
Friends have identified Monique
McKNIGHT - a 16-year-old Grade 11
student at Toronto's Emery Collegiate Institute - as the teenager
instantly killed in the collision, which took place when the
stolen car crashed into two taxi cabs near the intersection of
Finch and Islington in northwest Toronto.
Seated next to Ms.
McKNIGHT was her best friend, 17-year-old
Aleisha ASHLEY.
Ms.
ASHLEY was in critical condition at Sunnybrook
Health Sciences Centre yesterday. The 15-year-old boy driving
the stolen car was also taken to hospital, but died a few hours
later.
Friends flocked to cyberspace to remember Ms.
McKNIGHT, a girl
described as a "sweetheart" who was funny and had a smile that
"could light up a room."
"I couldn't believe it when I heard it. She was such a nice person
she really didn't deserve to die," a friend named Vanessa said
yesterday. "I just saw her and she was fine, now [she's] gone.
Monique was one of the nicest people anyone could ever meet."
The 15-year-old boy who slammed into the taxis was speeding northbound
in a stolen blue Acura on Islington Ave. near Finch in Etobicoke
about 2 a.m. when two marked police cars, responding to a gun
call, started a chase. After the collision, the teenage driver
was taken to Sunnybrook, where he died from his injuries five
hours later. The drivers of the two taxis escaped with minor
injuries.
Friends of the 15-year-old driver described him as a social young
man who grew up near the site of Saturday's accident and attended
Monsignor Percy Johnson Catholic High School. Many of his Friends
last saw the teenager late Friday night, when he attended a prom
after-party.
Because of the two deaths, 12 investigators from the province's
Special Investigations Unit have taken over the case from the
Toronto Police Service, whose officials remain tight-lipped.
Two Toronto police officers involved in the chase are being investigated,
while five others are considered witnesses: in the probe into
whether police should be charged in the accident.
The deaths are rekindling debate about the wisdom of police launching
high-speed chases, some of which have killed and maimed scores
of innocent bystanders over the years.
In recent years, following public outcry over the deaths of people
mowed down by out-of-control vehicles fleeing pursuing officers,
police services across North America have adopted tougher rules
governing police chases.
In Ontario, new regulations to the Police Act were passed seven
years ago that compel officers to weigh the urgency of arresting
a suspect against the risk to public safety of a high-speed chase.

POLSON,

In celebration of her life, but with deep sorrow, we announce

Rory (wife, Vicki) and Kirk; loving grandmother to Ryan, Jordan,

Ethel
lived a life of love, passion, hard work and charity, treasuring
each and every day. A prairie girl, she joined the air-force
during World War 2 where she met Tony and began a long and inspirational
life of adventure and great happiness. Together, she and Tony
raised a family, which included all manner of animals and birds,
built a camp on One Island Lake, and volunteered in their Thunder
Bay and British Columbia communities. Ethel took pleasure in
golf, travel, baking, arts and crafts, and gardening. She cherished
her Friends and family, always showing great affection and generosity.
She fought a courageous battle with Alzheimer's with the same
grace and strength that marked her life. The family wishes to

Reminiscence floor, for their wonderful care over these last
few challenging months. If desired, memorial donations can be
