GRAHAM,

(Bill)
Carnegie
In his 89th year, died on Sunday, June 15, 2003 at Sunnybrook
Hospital.
Husband of the late Dorothy May
GRAHAM and beloved
father of Bonnie, Barbara, Pinny and David, he took great joy
in watching his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren
grow. Bill was an ordinary man whose commitment to family, duty
and justice made him extraordinary. Although he had a young family
at the time, in 1942 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and
trained as a navigator. Later he was shot down over Germany and
taken as a P.O.W., an event that greatly influenced him. From
1945 to his death, he fought tirelessly to ensure that other
veterans gained the benefits to which they were entitled. His
deep interest in history and politics stayed with him throughout
his life and made him an informed, passionate and often colourful
commentator on current events within the family circle. His love
of military music was legend and his particular affinity for
the bagpipes was clear evidence of his loyalty to the Toronto
Scottish Pipe Band which he had joined prior to the War. He even
convinced some family members that military tattoos were a fine
form of entertainment. Husband, father, grandfather, friend and
citizen -- in all these roles, he held a steadfast course and
was true to his nature and beliefs. By doing so, he gained the
love of his family, the loyalty of his Friends and the gratitude
of his country. His family will hold a celebration of his life
at a later date. They are confident that now, at last, he can
once more chart his way across the starry heavens and find a
safe landing in the hands of God.

Christopher Donald
GRAHAM
By Cathy GRAHAM
Wednesday,
June 25, 2003 - Page A16
Survivor, believer, optimist. Born November 7, 1954, in Stamford,
England. Died April 16 in Koh Samui, Thailand, of a heart attack
while on vacation, aged 48.
Life was sweet in 1984 for Chris: a great job in London as a
foreign-exchange dealer for a large bank, a live-in girlfriend,
a house in the suburbs. Sweet, that is, until it was discovered
that the toilet cistern made a great hiding place for bottles,
and the morning mouthwash was really chartreuse, and... the downward
spiral started.
It hadn't always been like this. Born in England, Chris came
to Canada when his Canadian Air Force father was posted back
home. Growing up on the Miramichi river in New Brunswick, Chris
attended the University of New Brunswick. In the early 1980s,
somewhat at loose ends, he moved to Guernsey, Channel Islands,
to join his parents. They had recently left the Miramichi, after
the unexpected death of one of their daughters, to rejoin the
English side of the family. Guernsey was very good for Chris,
especially after he landed a job in an investment bank, where
he progressed rapidly. A promotion to London followed. However,
it all became too much, and so, ingloriously terminated, he later
got on a plane and returned to Canada, to live with one of his
two surviving sisters.
But not for long: his addiction took over, and soon Chris was
without a place to live. For seven long, agonizing years, Chris
drifted in and out of his family's lives; sometimes there would
be periods of sobriety (once, almost making it for a year). Anxious
visits to Toronto by his parents always resulted in his father
relentlessly tracking him down, his need to know Chris's whereabouts
too powerful. There were parts of Toronto that his family did
not want to go near, for fear that they would see him and not
be able to cope.
But life went on. The family was resigned to his ghostly presence
in their lives, or so they thought.
One day in May, 1991, a call came: he was in rehab in Merrickville,
Ontario, and had been sober since April 5 when he had checked
himself into detox (coincidentally, the day he became an uncle
for the first time).
He never looked back.
This is a story of triumph, of immense spirit and courage. Slowly,
he reclaimed his life, in a quiet, modest, diligent fashion.
Alcoholics Anonymous was critical, and he faithfully lived it.
He made his amends, willing to allow those he loved the time
they needed to trust him again, to believe that he would do what
he said he would and he would be there. Driven by his determination
to re-establish himself in his career, he never wavered from
his vision, but remained true to his values.
After struggling for several years in Toronto he returned to
Guernsey where he landed a job with the same firm that had fired
him so many years ago. A move to a much larger firm followed,
where he became a private banker in a large, international company.
He was enjoying a level of success that had previously only been
imagined. But Chris was not a materialist, he focused on living
his life honestly. A regular volunteer for a suicide distress
line, he valued his personal relationships.
We have been so lucky to have these 12 years; to see him whole
and happy, content with his life, confident that he could deal
with life's challenges. In what has proved to be a prescient
comment, in response to his mother's pleas not to embark on his
long-planned for trip in March to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand
he cheerfully informed her: "When my time's up, it's up, and
I want you to know, these last 12 years of my life have been
the best." And we agree. We thank Chris for these gifts: courage
to trust, belief in the goodness of the world, and his gentle,
generous spirit.
Cathy GRAHAM is Chris's sister.

Paul Dirk SYBERSMA
By John GRAHAM,
Michelle
SYBERSMA Tuesday,
September 23, 2003
- Page A24
Family member, friend, entertainer. Born February 2, 1974, in
Stratford, Ontario Died August 15, of cancer, aged 29.
Paul's birth was a family tragedy, or so it seemed at the time.
Within hours it was clear to his mother, Susan, an experienced
nurse, that there was something "wrong" with her new son. He
was soon diagnosed as having Down Syndrome.
Our initial visions of his parents facing an awful choice between
early institutionalization or unrelenting family disruption were,
of course, the result of ignorance and old stereotypes. Nonetheless,
parenting a Down Syndrome child -- especially following the death
of Paul's father, Dirk, in 1987 from leukemia -- was no "walk
in the park." Susan once noted that the difference between raising
Paul and his older brother Mark was like the difference between
growing a rose and a weed: The rose requires constant pruning
while the weed thrives with little attention.
But what rewards! With his sparkling blue eyes and disarming
smile, Paul was at heart an entertainer who loved a captive audience.
He practised his show tunes with a strong, if not always on-key,
singing voice and spent hours in his room rehearsing his dance
moves.
Like any good entertainer, Paul had self-confidence and "presence."
At weddings, his brother's prediction that Paul would dance with
the three most beautiful women in the room inevitably came true.
And he had a propensity to adopt new roles based on the latest
movies. For example, Halloween was an opportunity not to collect
candy, but to perfect new characters and to cast his obliging
mother as his foil. From Batman and Catwoman, the Joker and Poison
Ivy, to Darth Vader and Princess Leia, Paul and Susan were enormous
hits as they visited Friends.
The close proximity of the Stratford Festival and his mother's
artistic interests led to Paul's developing Friendships with
professional actors and dancers. This created new opportunities
for our family entertainer -- quite astounding ones, in fact.
For he soon had an agent and, to the surprise of all of us (you
can imagine the envy of his many cousins!), he had parts in two
movies - -- one starring Marlee Matlin (Freak City) and the other
with Kirsten Dunst, Kathleen Turner and James Woods (Virgin Suicides).
Following these "triumphs" Paul acted as his own agent, making
sure everyone he met -- from waiters in the Caribbean to complete
strangers at home -- knew about them. And his acting success
led to motivational speaking engagements. On one memorable occasion,
he gave the keynote address at a symposium for special-needs
children.
His love of movies combined with his discovery of e-mail led
to yet another remarkable development: he taught himself to read
and write. Up to that point no teacher or family member had been
able to motivate him. But endless watching of his favourite movies
combined with close-captioning gave him the key to becoming a
prolific e-mailer. Moreover, his style, with incomplete sentences
and few words on each line, was distinctive, if not cryptic.
One cousin compared it to the Japanese form of poetry, haiku.
Paul brought out the best in us and he also made it legitimate
to become an uninhibited child again as we danced, sang, hugged,
watched endless movies, played video games, wrestled, enjoyed
silly jokes and carried on as adults seldom do. For this, we
are forever grateful to Paul.
His painful death from malignant melanoma left Friends and family
with a profound sense of loss. Uncharacteristically, his "timing"
was off. He died within a few months of assuming a new role:
that of an uncle. He would have played it with gusto, confidence,
good humour and determination -- traits all of us might emulate.
John GRAHAM is Paul's uncle, Michelle
SYBERSMA, his sister-in-law.

Cheryl Louise
GLOGOWSKI
By Doris GRANT
Wednesday,
February 12, 2003, Page A22
Graphic designer, wife, daughter, sister, friend, lover of birds.
Born September 7, 1960, in Scarborough, Ontario Died June 22,
2002, in North Sydney, Nova Scotia of cancer, aged 41.
Cheryl, the eldest of three children, was the daughter of Marilyn
and Arthur
ORTIZ.
From an early age, she nurtured things: at
first insects and butterflies, then cats, birds, animals and
always, people. She was instinctively kind.
Cheryl's love of nature developed in the summers spent with her
parents and brothers at their Algonquin Park cabin. Her younger
brother, Adrian, remembers Cheryl teaching him about the forest
and its creatures. The two loved to lie and listen to the wind
they relished the meals their mother cooked over open fires.
Cheryl inherited artistic gifts from her father and created works
from nature at an early age. Family members treasure her fine
pencil-and-ink drawings of animals and birds.
Cheryl attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto
and worked there until she met Troy
GLOGOWSKI, the man who became
her beloved husband. She, along with her two Siamese cats and
her horse, moved to Troy's native Cape Breton. They were married
in North Sydney, Nova Scotia in 1990 and the pair bought a home
in the Barrachois hills outside North Sydney, where Cheryl was
in her element feeding the wild birds and animals.
When Cheryl and Troy built an addition to their home, they included
a bird room and Cheryl acquired birds such as budgies, cockatiels,
rosellas, macaws and her special African grey parrot, Cosmo.
People began bringing her sick or unwanted birds and she never
turned them away. "They call me the bird lady now," she would
say proudly. Over the years, five macaws were left in Cheryl's
care, and just a few weeks before her death, she took in a budgie.
She worked as secretary at St. Matthew Wesley United Church in
North Sydney and then moved to
ESP
Graphics where she applied
many of her artistic skills. "I can do anything with these two
hands," she always said, and over the years she proved it. She
was a self-taught computer whiz.
Diagnosed with breast cancer at 36, Cheryl determined from the
outset to beat the disease by educating herself. Unfortunately,
the disease metastasized, but she continued her self-education
and, with the help of her doctors, tried new medications and
alternative medicines. In the end, doctors said, she lived much
longer than most with her type of cancer.
Cheryl joined the local breast-cancer support group. Her knowledge
and attitude encouraged others to take control of their illness.
The group launched its own Dragon Boat to race last year and
hoped Cheryl could paint the dragon's eye -- the symbol of its
spirit and life. However, Cheryl was too ill.
In September 2001, Cheryl and Troy realized their dream of visiting
her brother Ron in Australia. They dove into the Great Coral
Reef and marvelled at what they saw. She wrote home that it looks
like a spectacular, underwater garden.
Last March, Cheryl flew home to Ontario for Easter with her family,
and Ron joined them from Australia. Ron returned with Cheryl
to North Sydney for a week, taking her to her treatments and
doctor's appointments as each member of the family had over the
previous five years.
Cheryl possessed a strong Christian faith and she leaned on it
to the end.
Cheryl was buried on a spectacular, summer day with birds singing
in the clear, blue, Cape Breton sky.
Cheryl would be happy to know that large numbers of birds continue
to visit her feeders at her home in Barrachois.
Doris GRANT is Cheryl's godmother. She wrote this with help from
Marilyn ORTIZ,
Cheryl's mother.

Doris
A.
(NEWMAN) (née

Always to be lovingly remembered by her large extended family,
Doris Angelina (née
ARNETT)
(NEWMAN)
MILLMAN died Sunday, March

Doris
Angelina was born December 1, 1906
in Souris, Manitoba. In 1923 her father moved his appliance manufacturing
business to Winnipeg. Doris attended Wesley College, then part
of the University of Manitoba, graduating with a Bachelor of

Safeway stores across Western Canada. After their marriage, his
three children became an important part of her life. Doris maintained

Kassie (Katharine)
TEMPLE
By Colin LEYS
Friday,
April 4, 2003 - Page A18
A Canadian who served God and defended the poor of New York.
Born June 8, 1944, in Port Hope, Ontario Died November 22, 2002,
in New York City, from cancer, aged 58.
No one who talked with Kassie
TEMPLE for more than 10 minutes
could fail to realize that she was one of the more remarkable
people they were ever likely to meet.
Kassie was an Anglican who worked in a Catholic organization
and wrote regularly for its newspaper. She was a radical social
critic, but opposed to all political parties. A passionate seeker
after religious truth, she spent long hours studying the Bible
in Hebrew. She was a gifted teacher and powerful debater (woe
betide anyone who rashly assumed this religious social worker
would be easy to outsmart); above all a fearless, tireless worker
with the homeless, sick and abandoned people of her quarter of
Manhattan.
She was born in Port Hope, Ontario, where her father was bursar
of Trinity College School. After high school, Kassie studied
religion at McMaster University. From there she went in the mid-1960s
to work for the Canadian International Development Agency in
Ottawa and then headed off for two years to Sierra Leone in West
Africa, looking after Canadian teachers with the Canadian University
Students Overseas. She retained several close Friends from the
Canadian University Students Overseas contingent.
She returned to Canada, and McMaster, in 1970 to work with the
eminent Canadian philosopher George
GRANT, writing a doctoral
thesis on the French theologian and sociologist Jacques Ellul.
In 1975, she began teaching at the University of Manitoba at
Brandon.
One day in 1977 she travelled to New York to see Dorothy
DAY,
who with Peter
MAURIN had founded the Catholic Worker, a group
dedicated to nonviolence and solidarity with the poor and other
victims of capitalist society. Kassie had been introduced to
them some years earlier through a friend at McMaster, but this
visit proved a turning point.
From New York she called a friend in Brandon and asked her to
get rid of all her belongings, and from then until her death
she lived in Mary House, one of two Catholic Worker homes in
Manhattan's Lower East Side (she remained an Anglican, however
one with a lifelong interest in developing closer understanding
between beliefs, including between Christians and Jews). She
took to wearing cast-off clothes donated by well-wishers, making
her famous soups and stews, caring and fighting for anyone and
everyone who was underprivileged, poor, sick, or neglected: prisoners
in jail, patients in hospital, elderly people trapped in dingy
nursing homes. She took time out only to look after her father
in Port Hope for his last three years, saying "it's too bad if
you can't look after your own father."
Kassie's religious faith was intense, but she had no trace of
religiosity. Last year a visitor asked her why she was wearing
a Yankees hat back to front. Oh, she explained, it was just a
hat that had been donated, "and we're all Mets fans here."
She could have been a professor, a civil servant, or a diplomat.
Instead she identified herself with the poor. However unhappy,
sick or difficult they might be, they were never people she worked
for or did good to; they were family and Friends.
Kassie was diagnosed with cancer early in 2002. After bearing
intense pain very bravely she died peacefully at Mary House,
surrounded by her Friends. During the three years she had devoted
to looking after her father in Port Hope she made the same sort
of impact on that small community as she did in New York. A huge
congregation attended her funeral service in Port Hope.
She leaves a painful gap but also an inspiring example, for Canadians
as well as her much-loved New Yorkers.
Colin LEYS is Kassie
TEMPLE's cousin.

She danced on tabletops of Ottawa
Former reporter with capital connections hosted parties for the
powerful and waged a spirited campaign to save railway cabooses
By Randy RAY
Special to The Globe and Mail Wednesday, January
22, 2003, Page R5
Most who knew her have a story to tell about Starr
SOLOMON, a
journalist and public-relations practitioner who for years hosted
glamorous parties in Ottawa that attracted a who's who of cabinet
ministers, bureaucrats and media people.
Ms. SOLOMON, the widow of Hy
SOLOMON, former Ottawa bureau chief
for The Financial Post, has died in Toronto. She was 64.
Long-time friend and colleague Walter
GRAY/GREY remembers the time
Ms. SOLOMON convinced former Prime Minister Brian
MULRONEY and
Liberal
Member of Parliament Sheila
COPPS -- for years Mr.
MULRONEY's
nemesis -- to sing together at the National Press Club in Ottawa
in the mid-1980s, following the annual Parliamentary Press Gallery
dinner.
"They sang a duet. The song was You Made Me Love You," says Mr.
GRAY/GREY, a former Globe and Mail bureau chief in Ottawa, who played
the piano while the two politicians crooned in tandem. Ms.
COPPS
is now Canada's heritage minister.
Edna HAMPTON, one of Ms.
SOLOMON's closest Friends, said acquaintances,
colleagues and politicians always looked forward to dinner parties
at the SOLOMON home in Ottawa's trendy Glebe neighbourhood. Trouble
was, you never knew when the meal would be served.
"I always used to eat first because the parties would zip along
and she would let dinner go. You might eat at 8, you might eat
at 11 . . . but you always knew the food would be good," said
Ms. HAMPTON, a retired journalist.
Ms. SOLOMON was born in Ottawa and moved to North Bay, Ontario,
as a child, where she attended elementary and high school. In
the late 1950s, she landed a reporting job with The North Bay
Nugget, where Ms.
HAMPTON was a senior reporter at the time.
Later, The Ottawa Citizen hired her as a reporter and she wrote
under the byline Starr
COTE, the surname of her first husband.
"She was always full of energy and fond of fun assignments,"
recalls Ms.
HAMPTON. "
She would cover anything from a royal tour
to a St. Patrick's Day event up the Ottawa Valley."
Among her plum assignments was the visit to Ottawa by U.S. president
John F. KENNEDY and his wife, Jacqueline. She also wrote restaurant
reviews for The Citizen, where she developed a reputation as
a lively writer who was quick-witted, entertaining and personal.
Ms. SOLOMON often fought it out for the big local stories with
Joyce FAIRBAIRN, a reporter with the now-defunct Ottawa Journal.
Ms. FAIRBAIRN later became a Senator.
Ms. SOLOMON left The Citizen in the mid-1960s and moved to Toronto,
where she worked with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as
a writer/producer. She married Mr.
SOLOMON on January 23, 1966.
The couple lived in Toronto until Mr.
SOLOMON was transferred
to Washington to open a bureau for The Financial Post.
When the
SOLOMONs returned to Ottawa, Ms.
SOLOMON and a partner
formed a public-relations firm. She quickly became a fixture
in the city's media and political circles, a move Mr.
GRAY/GREY calls
"networking at its best. She had a wide range of Friends and
she used these connections to her greatest advantage. I wish
I had her Rolodex."
For about 10 years in the 1980s, Ms.
SOLOMON and Mr.
GRAY/GREY worked
at the same public-relations firm, where they teamed up on a
variety of projects.
"There was the day the African chief Butelezi arrived in Ottawa
as a front for a group of Canadian businesses trying to develop
business relations with South Africa. I was assigned to shepherd
the chief around town," says Mr.
GRAY/GREY. "
Starr was to accompany
his lady, the lovely Princess Irene, whose sole interest was
to shop -- especially at Zellers. As they made their departure
laden down with Zellers bags. I think the princess gave Starr
a tip for her services."
The pair also worked together on an unsuccessful campaign to
stop the Canadian National Railway from eliminating railway cabooses.
"The cabooses disappeared, but to this day, the Save the Caboose
sweatshirt has been the most comfortable sweatshirt in our respective
wardrobes," says Mr.
GRAY/GREY.
Over the years Ms.
SOLOMON volunteered her public-relations skills
for many campaigns. She was a founding member of the Legal Education
and Action Fund, which was established to advance women's equality
rights, and served on the board of directors of the Ottawa Civic
Hospital.
As a couple, the
SOLOMONs were known in Ottawa for throwing glamorous
parties, some planned, some spontaneous, that attracted the leading
cabinet ministers, writers and journalists of the day. Ms.
SOLOMON
entertained and amused guests with her wit and political insights,
while her husband was an engaging conversationalist whose business
and political insights held the attention of politicians and
bureaucrats.
Those who attended their soirees remember Ms.
SOLOMON as a welcoming
hostess and terrific cook, whose specialty was Greek and Mediterranean
dishes. When guests arrived, she was always beautifully dressed
and "the records were on the turntable," recalls Mr.
GRAY/GREY. "
Patsy
Cline was her favourite. But also lots of jazz -- her friend
Brian Browne, Oscar Peterson, Oliver Jones." Often guests would
sing and dance around the
SOLOMONs' dining-room table.
"We did have serious discussions on serious subjects, from time
to time," adds Mr.
GRAY/GREY.
Former Ottawa Citizen food editor and restaurant reviewer Kathleen
WALKER remembers Ms.
SOLOMON as "literally . . . the kind of
person who danced on tabletops. She was just wonderful and wild.
We had a ball together. Great sense of humour. A terrific lady."
She will also be remembered as a great friend "who was there
in thick and thin if you had a problem," says Mr.
GRAY/GREY.
After her husband died in 1991, Ms.
SOLOMON moved back to Toronto,
where she did volunteer consulting and public relations work
for various organizations, including Legal Education and Action
Fund and a Greek nursing home. She was also a trustee of the
Hyman SOLOMON
Award for Excellence in Public Policy Journalism,
established to honour her husband's legacy.
Ms. SOLOMON leaves her two sons, Adam and Ben, two grandchildren
and two brothers. A celebration of her life is to be held at
the National Press Club in Ottawa on January 29 at 5: 30 p.m.
Starr SOLOMON, journalist, public-relations specialist; born
Ottawa, February 27, 1938; died Toronto, January 3, 2003.

Trudeau-era cabinet minister John
MUNRO dies, aged 72
By Jeff GRAY/GREY
With▼ reports from Campbell
CLARK and Canadian Press
Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - Page A2
Former
Trudeau cabinet minister John
MUNRO, whose federal political
career ended with a lengthy legal fight, died yesterday of a
heart attack in his Hamilton home. He was 72.
Former colleagues remembered Mr.
MUNRO, the member from Hamilton-East
from 1962 to 1984, as a politician who fought hard for working
people around the cabinet table, where he held several key portfolios.
"I think he was a feisty, progressive person of conviction, and
was, I guess, part of a somewhat diminishing breed called a real
Liberal," said Lloyd
AXWORTHY, who served in cabinet with Mr.
MUNRO in the early 1980s.
Mr. MUNRO, a Hamilton lawyer, was re-elected eight times and
was a cabinet minister for most of the years between 1968 and
1984, handling health and welfare, labour and Indian affairs.
As minister of welfare, he brought in the Guaranteed Income Supplement,
which helped lift many senior citizens out of poverty.
But in 1989, after he left government, an Royal Canadian Mounted
Police investigation accused him of corruption during his time
as a minister. The charges were eventually thrown out, but Mr.
MUNRO, hobbled by an estimated $1-million in legal bills, launched
a civil suit to get the government to cover his costs. He eventually
received about $1.4-million in a settlement.
Prime
Minister
Jean
CHRÉTIEN, who was elected to Parliament a
year after Mr.
MUNRO, remembered him as a hard-working minister.
"We were very good Friends, and I'm terribly sorry that he passed
away, and I would like to offer my condolences to his family,"
Mr. CHRÉTIEN told reporters. "He was a very good member of Parliament,
and he was a very good minister and a guy who worked very, very
hard in all the files that was given to him."
Heritage
Minister
Sheila
COPPS, the minister from Hamilton and
daughter of the city's former mayor, said Mr.
MUNRO gave her
some political lessons when she served as a poll captain for
his election in 1968.
"He was a great Canadian; he was a great parliamentarian, and
also someone who will be sorely missed in Hamilton. He was well
loved, and had politics in his blood."
Tom AXWORTHY, who was prime minister Pierre
TRUDEAU's principal
secretary, said Mr.
MUNRO was a key figure in Mr.
TRUDEAU's cabinet.
"He was a man who always had a great heart. He had tremendous
empathy for the disadvantaged," he said.
Mr. TRUDEAU looked to Mr.
MUNRO to fight for his social liberal
positions at cabinet meetings, his former aide said. "When we
had those kind of debates, he would kind of look over to
MUNRO
when he wanted to hear the liberal perspective on the issue."
The complex political scandal left Mr.
MUNRO fighting for his
reputation, instead of Liberal policies.
"That was a sad and distracting end to what had been a pretty
good career," Tom
AXWORTHY said.
"He'd spent his whole life fighting battles for the little guy,
and then he ended fighting all kinds of battles against allegations
and so on."
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police filed more 37 charges against
Mr. MUNRO -- corruption, breach of trust, fraud, conspiracy and
theft -- going back to his time as minister of Indian affairs.
At the centre of the case was the allegation that part of a $1.5-million
grant to the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of
First
Nations) actually went toward Mr.
MUNRO's usuccessful 1984
Liberal leadership bid.
The 1991 trial lasted several months, but the judge tossed out
the charges before even hearing evidence from the defence.
Things did start to turn around. In mid-1998, Hamilton's airport,
which he fought hard to expand, was named after him.
"In a time when Canada, I think, needs liberal voices, we've
lost a great one," Tom
AXWORTHY said.

CHAMANDY,

ABRAHAM and Fred
CHAMANDY,

Olivia, Eric and Leah and daughters-in-law Lori, Marie-Hélène

as a player and as a tireless coach to his sons at North Toronto.
This was in addition to his part-time job as head armchair coach
of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Dick's flair for the unconventional,
whether it be his Neil Young sideburns, giving motorcycle rides
around Oriole Park to neighborhood kids, or playing the ukulele,
endeared him to all. Has it really been 30 years? Some things
haven't changed in that time, including our fond memories of
him and the Leafs' inability to win without him. If you happened
to have known Dick, please take a moment today to reflect with
a smile on your own fond memories of him.

Sludge truck driver dies
By Jeff GRAY/GREY,
Thursday,
October 16, 2003 - Page A20
A driver hauling Toronto sewage sludge to Michigan died yesterday
after being partly buried while unloading his truck.
Police say Jovan
SAROVIC, 38, of Kitchener, Ontario, was unloading
his tractor trailer around 6: 30 a.m. yesterday at the Carleton
Farms Landfill in Michigan, southwest of Detroit's airport.
Detective
Corporal
Michael
CZINSKI of the Sumpter Township Police
said Mr. SAROVIC was trying to dump his load of sludge into a
trench about 4.5 metres deep.
While he was standing behind the vehicle, the truck's doors apparently
flew open prematurely, knocking him into the trench and dumping
about a quarter of the truck's load of 35 tonnes of sludge on
top of him.
Michael VALCHEV,
Mr.
SAROVIC's employer, said it was too early
to say what caused the accident. "The first priority is to do
what the family would like us to do."
