First baby came early
By Jonathan
SHER,
Free
Press
Reporter
The region's first baby arrived seven minutes after midnight
yesterday, born to a Strathroy-area couple with a reputation
for being late. William Richard Dennis
CRUICKSHANK, blond locks
and all, entered this world a week early and seemingly ready
to party, staying up until the wee hours with his proud parents,
Jenny and Dennis
CRUICKSHANK.
More than 22 inches long and weighing eight pounds, 11 ounces,
Will, as his parents call him, took everyone by surprise.
"It was a shock the baby was early. Dennis and I run late," Jenny
CRUICKSHANK said yesterday from her bed at Strathroy Middlesex
General Hospital.
The baby, the couple's first, was delivered by Nick
BUMA, the
same doctor who delivered Jenny
CRUICKSHANK and her siblings.
Jenny CRUICKSHANK went into labour at 10 a.m. Friday and was
in a lot of pain from 1: 30 p.m. on, she said. An epidural at
8 p.m. only numbed her on one side and when the baby didn't advance,
BUMA performed a caesarean section.
The couple didn't realize until later that one year had slipped
into another.
"I don't think we'll have as exciting a New Year's again," Jenny
CRUICKSHANK said.
London's first baby of 2005 arrived at Children's Hospital of
Western Ontario at 12: 25 a.m, a seven-pound, nine-ounce boy,
Trenton Douglas
PERCY,
son of Kristen Faye
McKENZIE and Don
PERCY.
Next came Ella Rose Jeanne
TRYON, daughter of Michelle and Patrick
TRYON.
Ella, at seven pounds, 10 ounces, was born at 1: 09 a.m.
at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Other first babies around the region included:
- Saint Thomas-Elgin General Hospital: A baby girl not yet named
was born at 6: 07 p.m. to Michelle and Ross
GRAHAM.
The baby weighed
six pounds, 10 ounces.
- Woodstock General Hospital: Ethan
STUBBE,
son of Marianne and
David STUBBE, was born at 3: 22 p.m. weighing eight pounds, two
ounces.
- Bluewater Health -- Sarnia General Hospital: Saige
HALLETT-
PLAINE,
daughter of Natasha
WILLIS and Jason
PLAINE, was born at 2: 26
a.m. weighing six pounds, 12 ounces.

War vet celebrates 105th
By Keith LESLIE, Canadian Press, Mon., February 27, 2006
Oshawa -- The youngest of Canada's three remaining First World
War veterans was hailed as a "true hero" and a "105-year-old
Superman" yesterday as family and Friends gathered to celebrate
Dwight WILSON's birthday.
WILSON smiled as he posed for pictures with his grandchildren
and great-grandchildren, sporting medals on his chest.
"He's▼ always been one of the good guys," said son Paul
WILSON.
"He's been an inspiration to us all."
Great-granddaughter Sarah
BRILLI, 15, wrote a poem to mark
WILSON's
105th birthday, but was too emotional to read it and asked her
14-year-old brother Richard to step in.
"My Friends think I make it up when I'm talking about him," read
Richard BRILLI. "
Great grandpa is a 105-year-old version of Superman."
P.
(Percy)
Dwight
WILSON joined the 69th (Artillery) Battery
in Toronto when he was 15, adding a year to his age to enlist,
but his secret was discovered after he shipped to England, so
he was kept there digging defensive trenches.
Sent home in 1917, determined
WILSON re-enlisted, but was discharged
again four months later when it was discovered he was still a
minor.
Paul said his father enlisted again during the Second World War.
"When we moved to Stratford in the '40s, he joined the Perth
Regiment, but he was too old for active duty," recalled Paul
WILSON. "
But he rose to the rank of captain."

Signed up at age 15, World War I vet celebrates
1 of 3 Great War veterans still alive
Retirement home marks occasion
By Jim WILKES,
Staff
Reporter
In the steamy lounge at Oshawa's Cedarcroft Place retirement
home, you could have forgiven Dwight
WILSON if he'd slept through
the endless speeches and music marking his 105th birthday yesterday.
He was getting over a bout of pneumonia that his son Paul feared
might have ended the ceremony before it even began.
But while folks half his age wilted in the heat, the World War
I vet -- one of only three surviving Canadians who served in
the Great War -- tapped his toes, waved his hands and sang along
to "If I Loved You," from Carousel and other favourites like
"Old Man River."
And when they hauled out a huge cake bearing a picture of him
blowing a bugle atop an old army steed, he jabbed a thumb to
his chest and uttered his only words of the afternoon.
"I'm on that horse," he said.
WILSON's voice is fading, along with memories of the days he
sang at Massey Hall, years after he returned from war and hung
up his army bugle.
He enlisted in Toronto with the 69th artillery battery when he
was just 15, three years too young to go overseas. He was found
out in 1917, a year after he boarded a troop ship for England,
and was sent back to Canada. He nefariously signed on again when
he was still too young, but the war ended before he could across
the Atlantic.
When Word War II started, he tried to sign up with the army again,
but this time he was too old. So he joined the Perth Regiment
reserves, rising to the rank of captain.
"He's▲ really quite amazing," said son Paul
WILSON, 71, of Port
Perry.
WILSON was also fêted by Greg
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, federal minister of veterans
affairs, who called him "an amazing piece of history.
"You were one of 650,000 Canadians who served in the First World
War. It's wonderful that you continue to share your story with
Canadians, in order that we not forget the contribution and sacrifice
made by veterans like yourself."
And now just three survive.
Besides WILSON,
Lloyd
CLEMETT, 107, lives in Toronto and John
BABCOCK, also 105, lives in Spokane, Washington.
Perhaps the most moving words came from Richard
BRILLY, 13: "Great-grandfather
is Superman."
