Reginald 'Red'
HORNER, National Hockey League Hockey Player:
The bad-boy captain of the prewar Toronto Maple Leafs shared
the ice with such legends of defence as 'King'
CLANCY and established
a record for penalties that stood for 20 years
By James CHRISTIE,
Friday,
April 29, 2005, Page S7
The night of December 13, 1933, was a landmark night in the history
of the National Hockey League. The career of Toronto Maple Leaf
Irwin (Ace)
BAILEY was ended with a life-threatening head injury
suffered when he crashed to the ice following a hard check by
Boston
Bruins'
Eddie
SHORE.
What is not always mentioned is the fact that Mr.
BAILEY was
not the only man carried off the ice at Boston Garden that night.
He had an avenger, a flame-haired bad boy named "Red"
HORNER,
the prototype of hockey's "policeman."
Red HORNER was the oldest Toronto Maple Leaf captain and oldest
living member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Red
HORNER embodied
Toronto Maple Leaf history. He was on the ice for the very first
shift played at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1931 and was involved in
ceremonies at the closing of the Gardens on February 13, 1999.
On the dangerous night in Boston Garden, Mr.
BAILEY recalled
in a 1985 interview with The Globe and Mail's Paul
PATTON that
"SHORE took my feet from under me. I wasn't facing him and when
I fell, my head hit the ice and I went into convulsions.
"SHORE was standing over at the other side of the rink when Red
went over and said, 'Put up your hands, I'm going to hit you.'
And HORNER did. One punch was all he needed. The boys told me
afterwards that they carried
SHORE out feet first, just moments
after they carried me out, and they needed seven stitches to
sew him up."
While Ace BAILEY was still unconscious and recovering from surgery
done at Boston City Hospital to relieve pressure on his brain,
"My dad went to Boston and he checked into the Copley Plaza hotel
because he knew that was where Conn
SMYTHE (the Leaf manager)
was staying. He had a.45 revolver with him and wanted to know
where he could find
SHORE.
SMYTHE said, 'Let's go up to my room
and have a chat.'
SMYTHE got two of the hotel policemen to come
up, and they must have slipped dad a couple of mickeys.
SMYTHE
put him on the train back to Toronto and Dad didn't wake up until
he was back in Canada. Two weeks later, he got his gun back through
the mail."
Fortunately, Red
HORNER was all the avenger the Toronto Maple
Leafs needed most nights during his 12-year career. Hockey feuds
were serious matters and Mr.
HORNER was hockey's version of the
blunt instrument.
"Red" HORNER was born in a small rural community near Brantford,
Ontario He was the
son of a farmer. The
HORNER family moved first
to Ancaster, where he started school, then to Hamilton and eventually
to Toronto. He was playing bantam hockey with North Toronto by
his early teens, living with his half-brother who was a grocer,
and his wife.
He was one of 72 players trying out for Frank
SELKE's
Marlboro
juniors in 1926 and although young Red did not distinguish himself
in that first practice, Mr.
SELKE felt that he would be as patient
as possible with him. The fact that Red was Mr.
SELKE's grocery
boy didn't hurt his chances.
Leafs founder Conn
SMYTHE was a builder and well acquainted with
Mr. SELKE, who was business manager of the electrical union.
Mr. SELKE's autobiography recounts how Mr.
SMYTHE was tiring
of his Leafs being manhandled by the likes of the Montreal Maroons
but couldn't pry any strong physical talents away from other
National Hockey League teams.
Mr. SELKE's suggested solution was for Mr.
SMYTHE to unload his
vulnerable veterans and fill the lineup with robust kids from
the Marlboros. Red
HORNER made his National Hockey League debut
on Saturday, December 22, 1928. He had already played a Friday
night game with the Marlboro juniors and a Saturday afternoon
match with a senior team when he was informed he'd be suiting
up as a Toronto Maple Leaf that night at Arena Gardens on Mutual
Street, the predecessor of Maple Leaf Gardens.
In a 2003 interview with the Internet site legendsofhockey.net,
he recalled his debut: "He said, 'I'll tell ya what I'm gonna
do. I'll pay you $2,500 for the balance of the season.' I thought
about it and it sounded pretty good because I was making $25
a week as a clerk at the Standard Stock Exchange.
"I said, 'Well Mr.
SMYTHE,
I've only seen two pro games in my
life before, I don't know any of your players, I haven't a car
but if you'd like to pick me up and take me down tonight, I'll
take you and introduce you to my mother and father.'
"He said, 'That's a deal,' and we shook hands on it. No signing
or anything, just a handshake."
He was not a graceful skater but could move the puck quickly
and possessed a gift for concentration under pressure. He could
make a pinpoint pass while two forecheckers were zeroing in on
him.
His tough, physical style of play earned him the league leadership
in penalty minutes for eight of his 12 National Hockey League
seasons. He set a record for penalties that lasted 20 years.
Mr. SMYTHE dispatched Mr.
HORNER to a summer camp to work out
and to put on weight in the summer of 1931. He was trained by
Olympic pole-vaulter Ed
ARCHIBALD. By the end of the summer,
Mr. HORNER had gone from a soft 180 pounds to a solid 190.
In 1932, he was on a Stanley Cup winner with Toronto. For seven
of his seasons, he played alongside another Toronto legend on
defence, Francis Michael (King)
CLANCY.
Mr.
HORNER played his
entire career with the Maple Leafs and served as team captain
from 1938 until his retirement in 1940. In 490 regular season
games, he scored 42 goals and added 110 assists for 152 points.
But his scoring statistics pale beside the fact he collected
1,264 penalty minutes during that time. He once collected 17
penalty minutes in the first 20-minute period of a game.
The scuffles didn't end when he retired as a player. Mr.
HORNER,
like Mr. CLANCY, turned to officiating and was an National Hockey
League linesman for two seasons. On January 11, 1943, at Maple
Leaf Gardens, he was working a game between the Maple Leafs and
Detroit
Red
Wings when Detroit manager Jack
ADAM/ADAMS berated him,
alleging he had missed an icing call. Later in the game, Mr.
HORNER lined up for a faceoff near the Detroit bench and Mr.
ADAM/ADAMS reached out and shoved him, claiming he was blocking the
view. Mr. HORNER swung around with an elbow that grazed his chin.
Mr. ADAM/ADAMS shoved him again. Detroit player Syd
ABEL took a swing
at Mr. HORNER, who shoved Mr.
ADAM/ADAMS hard before referee Bill
CHADWICK stepped in.
Mr. HORNER went on to a business career managing North American
Coal in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was the majority owner.
George
Reginald
(Red)
HORNER was born in Lynden, Ontario, on
May 28, 1909. He died in Toronto on April 27, 2005. He was 95.
He was predeceased by his wife.

C., PhD
Helen Caroline
ABELL died on Saturday, April 2nd, 2005, at the
Markham Stouffville Hospital. Born in Medicine Hat, Alberta on
January 28th, 1917, she spent most of her growing up years in
Toronto. She began her lifelong interest in rural people, agriculture
and nutrition as a young person at the family cottage near Kingston,
Ontario. One of Canada's first rural sociologists; she graduated
from MacDonald Institute (Ontario Agricultural College) in 1938
and went on to study at University of Toronto and Cornell University
(New York), receiving her PhD in Rural Sociology in 1951. At
Cornell she was one of the first women graduates from the doctoral
program. She served, along with four of her brothers, in World
War 2 when she was a member of the Canadian Women's Army Corp.
Her career was a combination of research assignments for Canadian
International Development Agency, F.A.O. and United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization and other interests, in
rural parts of Jamaica, Nigeria, Columbia, Transki (South Africa),
Bangledesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Ghana and Pakistan. From 1951
to 1961 she was the head of the Rural Sociology Research Unit,
Canada Department of Agriculture. The other part of her career
in Canada was teaching at the graduate level of various universities:
University of Guelph, University of Waterloo and University of
Saskatchewan. Her original work and papers are housed in the
Dr. Helen C. Abell Archives at the University of Guelph. The
University recognized her contributions in 1997 with the conferring
of an honorary doctor of laws degree.
Helen's interest in people, the outdoors, world events and her
"story telling" ability were her signature. A strong woman, she
loved her work and the opportunity to understand and promote
the experience of rural people at an important time of change
for Canada and in other parts of the world.
Helen was predeceased by her parents and five brothers. She is
survived by her brother, Robert (Annie) of Florida. Special aunt
and friend to Helen Anne
ABELL

Helen ABELL
By Susan ABELL and Marion
ABELL,
Monday,
June 13, 2005, Page A14
Rural sociologist, researcher, professor, daughter, sister, aunt,
friend. Born January 28, 1917, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Died
April 2, of natural causes, aged 88.
Helen ABELL grew up as the only girl in the midst of five brothers.
Her mother, Caroline
ABELL, was pleased to finally have a girl
to dress and to teach feminine ways. However, Helen always wanted
to be with "the boys" and pined for jeans, not dresses. She shared
the same love of fishing and being in the outdoors they all enjoyed.
Some of her best times were on a lake at a cottage, fishing from
a small boat. When she bought the property for her first cottage,
in the late 1950s, in Prince Edward Island, she drew the design
on a serviette and had a local fisherman build it for her.
All her life, she was shaped by and loyal to the lessons learned
as a child of the Depression. She was fascinated by how rural
people, particularly the farm family, lived in the face of major
change. As a good researcher, she was always counting. Her work
was who she was and it filled her life. One of her favourite
stories was how she got locked in a government building in Ottawa,
where she was working late at night, and having to be escorted
out by the Mounties.
As a sociologist, Helen was proud to say that she was the first
in Canada to study rural peoples. This led her to many countries
including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and South Africa, years before
it became popular to travel rough. In telling her stories in
later life, she'd insert the phrase; "I was the only woman, you
know." She loved to "push the envelope" and travel to remote
areas to study how the people lived. She always returned to Canada
and to her parents in Stouffville, Ontario
The other part of her life that brought so much meaning to her
was teaching at the university post-graduate level, particularly
the University of Guelph. It gave her an opportunity to share
her experiences and knowledge and to "grow" the next generations
of sociologists. Her drive and story-telling ability made her
a natural. Throughout the years, she kept in touch with many
groups that were interested in farming and rural issues. She
gave radio talks and wrote articles on farm life.
Two features of knowing Helen were her love of strong, black
coffee, which she started drinking during an assignment to Colombia
in the 1950s. And -- smoking (as a product of her years in the
Canadian Women's Army Corps during the Second World War), but
she always claimed she didn't really inhale! In her home and
the cottages she owned through the years, she had many items
she brought back from her travels. She wasn't interested in clothes,
although she loved anything red. Her wall hangings, carved elephant
table and many other original pieces meant a lot to her. When
she finally retired (as her health didn't permit travelling any
more), she went to the local high school to take up furniture
building. Being practical, she designed a side table to hold
her coffee cup and ashtray for when she spent mornings reading
her Globe and Mail.
She never married and family and Friends were always an important
part of her life; she'd travel to be with them whenever she could.
She saved everything and it was interesting to find family letters
she had kept, dating back to her childhood. For her nieces and
nephews, they provide new insight into the
ABELL family.
At the end of her life, the woman who had travelled and been
independent was forced to rely on others for her personal care.
She did so without complaint and with appreciation. Her interest
in other's lives, her stories and her humour never left her.
She left us on her own terms... not making a fuss, just doing
what she believed was natural.
Susan and Marion are Helen's nieces.

Samuel GRANGE,
Jurist (1920-2005)
Best known for heading the royal commission into the deaths of
24 babies at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, he declined
to lay blame and stoically endured any criticism
By Oliver MOORE,
Tuesday,
August 30, 2005, Page S11
After falling quite by chance into the legal profession, Samuel
GRANGE was at the centre of a series of key decisions and headed
the controversial inquiry which determined that babies had been
murdered at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children.
"He played an enormous role... he should be remembered because
of his contribution," said Horace
KREVER, another retired judge
who oversaw a commission, in his case a probe of the tainted-blood
scandal. "He was everything a judge should be: learned, wise,
compassionate, patient and extraordinarily literate."
Judge GRANGE was on the bench at the Ontario Court of Appeal
when it ruled the rape-shield law constitutional and when the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation miniseries The Valour and the
Horror was ruled not to have libelled Canadian airmen. He also
backed the decision by that court which allowed the custodial
parent in a divorced couple to move the child far away from the
former spouse.
But Judge GRANGE was most prominently in the public eye when
he headed the royal commission into the deaths at the Toronto
Hospital for Sick Children. The probe was called after a series
of deaths rocked the hospital, a leading pediatrics institution.
From the summer of 1980 to the spring of 1981, the death toll
on the hospital's cardiac ward was 625 per cent higher than the
previous three nine-month periods.
After 191 days of testimony over three years, Judge
GRANGE found
that eight babies had been killed by drug overdoses and another
15 had died in suspicious circumstances. He issued his 224-page
report in the first few days of 1985. He concluded that the babies
had died because of overdoses of digoxin, a heart drug that many
should not have been given. The babies' bodies, nine of which
were exhumed for the investigation, revealed abnormally high
digoxin levels.
Controversially, although Judge
GRANGE recommended compensation
to Susan NELLES, a nurse charged with several of the murders,
he did not assign blame to anyone. He faulted no one and offered
no solution to the mystery of who killed the babies.
The report angered parents of some of the babies and brought
a wave of public criticism. Ms.
NELLES had been released after
a preliminary hearing because of lack of evidence and it appeared
no one would be held responsible.
But according to his son Dougall, Judge
GRANGE had long inured
himself from criticism and maintained a healthy distaste for
the media, in spite of initially considering a career in journalism.
Later, though, he came publicly to the defence of inquiries at
a time when they were being criticized as unwieldy and overly
time-consuming.
"You can't run an inquiry without letting everybody have his
say," he said in the mid-1990s. "You don't know what a person's
going to say until he says it -- even though sometimes he says
it and you're sorry you ever let him speak."
His father recognized the importance of many of the cases he
heard and was keenly aware of the lasting impact of his decisions,
said Dougall, a 46-year-old paralegal in Toronto. "Sometimes
he didn't come to these decisions easily, he really worked, he
was conscientious and would think very, very carefully about
what he was doing. Regularly he would be up at three or four
in the morning, going over the materials and trying to come up
with a solution."
Judge GRANGE felt strongly that the practice of law had fallen
into public disrepute and believed that one way to regain the
people's trust would be to introduce television cameras into
some courtrooms. "The image of justice is poor, I don't think
we deserve that image," he said in the mid-1980s.
But he felt no compulsion to play to the public gallery. "He
was of the view that you write your judgments, you write your
reports, and you let them speak for themselves," said the younger
Mr. GRANGE.
Many of the decisions are still with us, their importance being
felt still today. The intrusive questioning of rape complainants
is a thing of the past in part because of the decision written
by Judge GRANGE. In the case of two adults accused of assaulting
a 15-year-old girl in the basement of a school, the question
of the girl's previous behaviour with men came up. But Judge
GRANGE, then sitting on the Ontario Court of Appeal, made it
clear that times had changed.
"Sexual reputation is no more an indicator of credibility in
a woman then it is in a man," he wrote for the majority in the
late summer of 1987. "It should no longer be recognized as relevant
to the issue."
Two years earlier he backed another controversial Court of Appeal
decision, this one written by then Madam Justice Rosalie
ABELLA.
Hearing the case of a divorced couple, one of whom wanted to
move away with the couple's child, the three judges unanimously
agreed that she could.
"The custodial parent's best interests are inextricably tied
to those of the child," wrote Judge
ABELLA, supported by Judge
GRANGE and backed by then Mr. Justice Jean
LABROSSE. In effect,
they ruled that what is good for the custodial parent should
be presumed to be good for the child.
Retired judge
KREVER called him "an exemplary member of the profession"
and said he was something approaching a poet laureate at the
Court of Appeal.
"There are a lot of cases in which he wrote excellent decisions
which will stand the test of time," said Judge
KREVER, 76.
Dougall GRANGE said that, as a child of two journalists, his
father was headed for that career when the war diverted him to
Europe. Awarded the Croix de Guerre for his dangerous work as
a forward artillery observer, he seems also to have caught the
eye of several peers. Military law at the time allowed a serviceman
accused of a crime to choose the officer he wanted to represent
him. Mr. GRANGE, then a captain, had no legal training or experience
but was chosen several times.
In one of the more serious cases, he defended an American who
had lied his way into the war before his country became involved.
When the United States entered the war he quit his unit with
the intention of joining the allied U.S. forces. Caught and tried
for desertion, he could have been shot. Then-Captain
GRANGE successfully
argued his case and the man was released, Dougall
GRANGE said.
"He came back here afterwards and thought 'okay, why don't I
try this. He loved the practice and he liked the people... it
was his life'."
Samuel GRANGE was born on March 19, 1920, in London, Ontario
He died on August 26, 2005, at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto
after suffering a series of strokes. He was 85. He was predeceased
in 2003 by his wife Patricia. He is survived by his son Dougall
and daughter Alice.
