Cimarron MacDonald looks over family photos that include her younger sister Florence who was murdered in 1997. Toronto police have recently reopened the unsolved cold case.

Police seek fresh leads in 20-year-old double murder ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com Pop, perogies and pie.

That’s what Cimarron MacDonald thinks of when she remembers her sister, Florence

Harrison.

"Her favourite thing was orange pop. She always drank orange pop," MacDonald said.

And perogies: that’s what Harrison, MacDonald and their two younger sisters made together,

both as kids and adults. "When we were older, we’d go to my kitchen in my house and we’d all make perogies," MacDonald said.

"We’d freeze them, and everyone would take them home and not leave me with any."

Pie: "She (Harrison) loved lemon pie," said MacDonald, noting "my mom used to bake a lot and. would make her the lemon pie."

Jooyoung Lee, associate professor of sociology at University of Toronto, suggests that the media and the police should ditch the phrase "known to police" when describing victims of violence.

What does being ’known to police’ mean in Toronto?

Victim advocates say it ’does nothing but victimize and denigrate’ ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com cooperation at that time between the media and the police.

They weren’t as adversarial," he said. "When I started, it was like ’Here’s a copy of the police report.’ You actually got a copy of the occurrence to look at. .

And we got mugshots."

In the ’90s, police were more restrictive with releasing information on a person’s criminal history, and they and the media began using known to police more often.

"In the past, it was referring

to a person who was arrested," Millar said. "But it’s come into common practice now to make references that way to some of the victims."

Rob Lamberti , a retired crime reporter who teaches journalism at Humber College, suggested the term often helps reassure a community that a crime was not random.

"It was a way of saying to our audiences that ’Don’t worry, general society is not at risk or is not a target because this

person (the victim) was known to police and may have exposed himself to a high-risk lifestyle,’" he said. "But the ambiguity has always bothered me. I just wish that we could be specific. Maybe they (police) can’t and they’re trying to meet us halfway."

Louis March, founder of Zero Gun Violence Movement (which works with both murder victims’ families and former inmates), said he has a "major problem" with the term

CAL MILLAR because it creates a stigma.

"It triggers a response when you say known to police. And that might not be the most beneficial statement if you want to solve the case," he said.

"Once you use that term, people start thinking differently. .

We need to stick to the facts.

Report on the facts of the case."

Jooyoung Lee, associate professor of sociology at University of Toronto, also argues the term shouldn’t be used.

"It unfairly creates the presumption of guilt around the person, who in homicide cases is not around to defend their name," he said. "It’s just another way that society creates the image of a guilty crime victim. .

It creates this idea that a person is guilty of doing something and that’s why they were a victim of a terrible crime."

The term is entrenched in popular culture and the way police and some journalists communicate, the professor noted.

"It is on one hand a very convenient shorthand for describing a person, but when you start to unpack it and scrutinize it, you realize that it’s really leaving out much more than it reveals."

But Millar said journalists should report any information they know.

"And if that’s all they know, that’s what they should be reporting because the public have a right to know."

insidetoronto.com

t’s a common question for detectives at homicide news conferences: Was the victim (or the suspect if he’s been identified) known to police?

Investigators typically answer the question but decline to provide details.

The term "known to police," particularly when used to describe victims of violence, has become controversial, with some victims’ families speaking out against its use.

Police reportedly used the phrase to describe the three victims of a July 23 shooting at a birthday barbecue in the backyard of the Lewis family home in Scarborough, prompting the family to denounce the term.

"Time and time again it has been noted for its ambiguity and inherent laziness. It does not inform the reader but instead is a device utilized to demean, injure and dehumanize the victim," a family spokesperson told reporters a few days after the shooting. "How does this chorus help the societal interest of fighting crime?

How does it advance the societal interest of informing the public? . Without more, this chorus does nothing but victimize and denigrate. Ultimately, the continued use of this chorus diminishes us all as it seeks to deprive us of empathy and compassion that common humanity requires of all people."

Cal Millar, a retired Toronto crime reporter, said the term, likely coined by journalists, was around when he began his career in the mid-1960s.

"It meant does he have a record. It was a bit of a euphemism," he said.

But today the term can mean more than a criminal record.

"When we are asked, we will say known to police (when) there are charges that have been laid by a police service on this person for a Criminal Code offence," Toronto police spokesperson Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said. But the term is not used to describe witnesses, victims or those charged with a Highway Traffic Act offence.

It’s also not used to refer to those who have been questioned during a street check, a practice that was referred to as carding in Toronto.

Millar suggested the term was used less in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s because police were more open about the record of an arrested individual or suspect.

"There was probably more

rese Melanson, both 32, were shot dead in the stairwell of a Regent Park building on a Sunday morning in January 1997.

Police have not made an arrest but remain hopeful the case can be solved.

"We do have some DNA that has been identified, and it doesn’t link currently to anybody in the national DNA databank," said Det. Sgt. Stacy Gallant, head of the cold case section of the Toronto police homicide squad. "What we’re looking for is anybody that may know something, anybody that may have heard something over the years, anybody that could come forward today and provide us with the name of someone."

Harrison grew up on Logan Avenue in Leslieville and went to Riverdale Collegiate.

"We were always very close," MacDonald said.

"We’d ride bikes together, we’d roller skate together, we did everything together."

After high school, Harrison worked with seniors, though her dream was to become a veterinarian.

"She loved animals. She always had a dog," said MacDonald.

Harrison struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcoholism and drugs, and police say both she and Melanson were "sex trade workers."

"I don’t want to portray (her as) the perfect person.

Nobody is perfect," MacDonald said of her sister.

"But she did have a good heart; she had a really good heart."

Harrison and Melanson were last seen alive at the Golden Ring bar near Parliament and Dundas streets at about 2 a.m. on Jan. 5, 1997. Police believe both were gunned down shortly after 3 a.m. in the stairwell of a nearby build-

people in the building.

"There were other factors that were looked at: whether or not they were working in the prostitution field that night or not.

Whether or not they were involved in drug transactions or not," he said.

"Those were things that surfaced back at the time of the investigation. That building and that area at that time had somewhat of a history for drugs and prostitution."

Police believe only one person was responsible for the double murder; one firearm was used to kill both women.

"When they were located, they were both fully clothed," Gallant said.

MacDonald was at a friend’s house on the night of Jan. 5, 1997, and the news was on.

"They didn’t say the names. They just said they found two women in a stairwell," MacDonald recalled.

The next morning, police notified the family.

"My mom called me at work," MacDonald said. "I went to my parents and I had to take them down to identify (the body). And all the way, my mom kept saying it’s not true."

Kelly Melanson was woken up in the middle of the night to be told that her mom had died in a car crash.

"They didn’t want me to know (it was murder)," said Kelly, who was 11 at the time.

But the secret didn’t last long. About a year later, Kelly came across a newspaper clipping while babysitting her cousin at her aunt’s house.

"It didn’t really bother me then," she said, noting it wasn’t until she had her first child that her mom’s murder became tough to deal with.

"She wasn’t around, and how do I explain to my daughter that her grandma

has passed?"

Melanson, nicknamed Twig because she was so skinny, lived near Coxwell Avenue and Gerrard Street and was active in the local Legion hall.

"She was a bartender there, and she did the events that they held," Kelly said. "She even had a Legion coat with the name (Twig) on the back."

Kelly had her last visit with her mother in the summer of 1996.

"She was always taking me places and always having heartfelt conversations with me," Kelly said. "She was a really good mom."

Kelly suggested an arrest would bring a sense of closure to her family.

"The person who did this obviously had their own issues, so I hope they faced their demons."

Anyone with information is asked to call the homicide squad at 416-8087400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.

• OUR VIEW •

ABOUT US

’Known to police’ are three words that need to go Words always matter – but when they’re put to work talking about the victims and perpetrators of violent crime, from the mouths of police to the pens of journalists, they matter doubly so.

And they should be employed with great care. When someone is accused of murdering someone but not yet convicted, it’s irresponsible of police to call them a murderer, and wrong of reporters to describe them as anything other than the accused.

When police offer up a description from eyewitnesses of a suspect in a crime, it’s the same thing: we speak of a suspect and not a criminal.

When we do this, we are very mindful of the rights and presumptions of the accused - we must presume innocence.

Sadly, we are not nearly so careful about the rights of victims - or the memories of those deceased.

As Metroland Media Toronto’s crime specialist Andrew Palamarchuk tells us this week, both press and police regularly besmirch reputations and destroy memories, by including three simple words – "known to police" – when describing some crime victims.

What does "known to police" mean?

It doesn’t mean that police have carded the individual, or that they’ve called the police for help – so it’s not entirely innocent.

But it also doesn’t necessarily mean that the person has been convicted of a crime.

Police in Toronto use the term when a charge has been laid by police for a Criminal Code offense, of which the person may or may not be guilty.

The term does serve a kind of coded purpose: it lets the public know that a violent crime that took place perhaps not far from their home may have been a result of a dispute between criminals, or in the commission of a criminal act.

It is a comfort.

The problem is, of course, that it really shouldn’t provide comfort. What it does provide is innuendo, against the reputation of people who on the face of it have done nothing worse than find themselves in a bullet’s path.

And those people, and their friends, have every right to take offense. This happened following a July 23 shooting at a backyard party at the Scarborough home of Elma Lewis.

Three people, including her daughter, were shot.

Police used the phrase to describe each of them – to no end other than provide reassurances to the neighbours in the otherwise peaceful Scarborough neighbourhood that for them, nothing had changed.

Reassurance paid for with the innuendo of "known to police" is no reassurance at all.

Words matter, and we need to be more careful with those three.

Pedestrian deaths stand unmarked on our roads Warden Avenue south of the 401 is brutal and clogged, funneling traffic from the highway over and down a hill to Ellesmere Road.

Trucks cut in, and you can sense frustration. By day, the five lanes crawl. By night, they speed up.

At Continental Place, a plaza restaurant was still busy at 9:30 p.m. last week when a family of four carried their takeout food across Warden.

The mother, 33, and her five-year-old girl were hit by cars going in both directions. The second driver fled.

The next day, a scrap of yellow police tape around a concrete pole was the only sign two young, promising lives had ended violently there.

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto Clint Stibbe, a Toronto traffic services cop, studied the intersection. Would a crosswalk help? No, not if drivers coming up or down the hill can’t see it.

A pedestrian refuge?

They’re made of soft steel, Stibbe said, shaking his head. "If a car hits that, it’s going through it."

Meanwhile, people continued crossing Warden where the family crossed.

In recent years, the city installed accessible pedestrian signals down at Ellesmere and at Lupin Drive, a short walk north.

But people cross where they cross; the family, perhaps hurrying to catch a bus, or because dinner was late and the children tired, tried the short way.

Milorad Radiskovic, who lives north of the highway, was walking home. He said drivers barely seem to acknowledge pedestrians are there.

"Where is it better? The downtown? It’s a hell everywhere."

That evening, I left a meeting to find McCowan Road lit up by ambulances and police cruisers beyond the recreation centre driveway. I was looking at another pedestrian death scene,

and didn’t know it.

A man of 71 was run down crossing McCowan.

Hours earlier, on Birchmount Road, another pedestrian died, a man of 56.

Murder stains neighbourhoods for years. But pedestrians’ deaths are forgotten. They stand unmarked.

We don’t usually learn their names.

Cyclists leave ghost bikes to mark fatalities. On Bayview Avenue south of 401, there’s one I’ve seen for years. No mistaking its message.

Does Toronto now need ghost pedestrians too? How else can these deaths be seen?

The City of Toronto’s Real Estate Services division, in partnership with the Toronto Police Service and City Planning, has conducted a search for suitable properties within the service areas of 54 Division and 55 Division.

Community feedback is an important part of the site selection process. At this stage, we would like to get your input and feedback on the shortlist of potential properties. We are looking forward to working together to ensure that the new site is selected based on the vision and the needs of the Toronto Police Service and the communities we serve.
