Driver charged in fatality
An Aylmer man was charged after his passenger was killed in a rollover.
By Jane SIMS, Free Press Reporter, Mon., October 16, 2006
For the second time in two days, an area driver has been charged with impaired driving causing death after a fatal collision.
On Saturday night, Elgin Ontario Provincial Police were called to a crash on Pulley Road north of Sparta Line in an isolated part of Central Elgin.
Police said an sport utility vehicle left a gravel road, struck a utility pole and rolled.
The driver was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured.
The passenger, Devon SCHMELTER, 20, of Malahide Township died at the scene. Police said he was not wearing a seatbelt.
"The seatbelt USAge… (was) the difference between the driver and the passenger being killed," Ontario Provincial Police Const. Angela Baker said yesterday.
SCHMELTER was bounced around the rolling vehicle and finally pinned underneath.
Philip EDWARDS, 20, of Aylmer is charged with impaired driving causing death.
He is expected to appear in Saint Thomas court today.
The crash is the second over the weekend involving an impaired driving charge.
On Friday night, a car carrying five West Perth teens collided with a car driven by a Kitchener woman.
The woman, Trista GLIEDT, 23, died at the scene.
Baker said in recent months there has not been the high number of fatalities connected to impaired driving in the region.
But, she added, any impaired driving death, considering the concerted efforts to stop people from driving drunk, is "tragic."
Baker said from the Ontario Provincial Police viewpoint, young people have been given information about the dangers of impaired driving "from the police, their parents and the school system from Day 1.
"It's highly disappointing for us to see that education and all the dollars spent and all the efforts have been wasted."
Baker said there is so much more support and education than for previous generations of drivers.

Avid hiker shot dead by mistaken deer hunter
Family says there's no excuse as 67-year-old woman killed in forest.
By Canadian Press, Thurs., November 9, 2006
Beeton -- Marianne SCHMID loved to walk the leafy paths of the lush public forest near her home west of Tottenham.
But the 67-year-old hiker never made the daily trek during hunting season, her family says, because she was wary of hunters shooting at deer or wild turkeys that amble through the pines a 45-minute drive north of Toronto.
SCHMID didn't know hunting season had begun Monday, and, despite wearing a red sweater and jeans, was shot dead by a hunter who thought she was wild game wandering the woods that afternoon.
Provincial police say SCHMID was pronounced dead at the scene.
Autopsy results released Tuesday show she died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
A 60-year-old Keswick man has been charged.
"It's stupidity," said her husband Walter. "We'll never -- never recover what was destroyed by that one shot."
SCHMID said his wife had phoned the Ontario Provincial Police just last week, "because she had a scare with someone shooting" in the forest.
"I keep hearing this was a tragic hunting accident," said SCHMID's son, Toby. "This wasn't an accident.
"A tree falling on her would be an accident. I thought the cardinal rule for responsible hunters was that you positively identify your target before you pull the trigger."
Walter agreed.
"We don't understand how anybody could confuse her with a deer," he said. "We're not against hunting, but this is not a hunting accident."
The last fatal hunting incident in Ontario was in December 2004.

Wary hiker killed in woods
Criminal negligence charge laid
Forest near Tottenham a favourite spot
By Jim WILKES, Staff Reporter files from Richard BRENNAN and Victoria KENT
Marianne SCHMID loved to walk the leafy paths of the lush public forest near her home west of Tottenham.
But the 67-year-old hiker never made the daily trek during hunting season, her family says, because she was wary of hunters shooting at deer or wild turkeys that amble through the pines a 45-minute drive north of Toronto.
SCHMID didn't know hunting season had begun on Monday, and, despite wearing a red sweater and jeans, was shot dead by a hunter who thought she was wild game wandering the woods that afternoon.
Her husband, Walter, who was worried when she didn't return home, took his 2-year-old grand_son for a ride to find her and ended up identifying her body in the back of an ambulance by the side of the road.
Police last night charged a Keswick man with criminal negligence causing death in the incident.
"She was my everything," SCHMID said yesterday in the stone and wood home he and Marianne built themselves in the late 1960s, even as she was pregnant with son Toby, now 36.
"It's stupidity," he said.
"We'll never -- never -- recover what was destroyed by that one shot."
SCHMID said his wife had phoned the Ontario Provincial Police just last week, "because she had a scare with someone shooting" in the forest.
He said she stopped walking in the forest when hunting season began each autumn. But because the dates of the season change from year to year, they didn't realize it began on Monday.
He said she had encountered bow hunters earlier this fall, when their hunting season was in full swing.
"But they shoot at closer range, so they can see their targets more clearly."
Officers from the Nottawasaga detachment of Ontario Provincial Police were called to the Simcoe Regional Forest late Monday afternoon to answer a call about a woman who was injured. They found SCHMID dead from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, deep in the forest off the 2nd Concession of Adjala-Tosorontio Township, north of Highway 9, a few kilometres east of Mono Mills.
"I keep hearing that this was a tragic hunting accident," said SCHMID's son, Toby. "This wasn't an accident.
"A tree falling on her would be an accident. I thought the cardinal rule for responsible hunters was that you positively identify your target before you pull the trigger."
Walter agreed.
"We don't understand how anybody could confuse her with a deer," he said, standing on the second floor of the family home, at the end of a long driveway that winds through a woodlot of pine, cedar and fir on the 3rd Concession.
"We're not against hunting, but this is not a hunting accident."
Walter came to Canada from Germany in 1957 and Marianne followed the next year, even though she was too young to emigrate alone under German law.
"She snuck away to Canada to marry me," he said, summoning a small smile. "We built this house together. She cut the stone herself and carried it up a ladder when she was pregnant to build the chimney.
"We still had big plans, very big plans. Everything we did was because of her."
SCHMID said his wife drove to the forest each day for a hike along the path that loops through the trees. He took a video of her playing in the fallen leaves with 2-year-old grand_son Max just moments before she put the youngster down for a nap and headed off for her walk on Monday.
"She was wearing a red turtleneck sweater -- red of all colours," Toby said. "She left her coat behind because it was such a nice day.
"And they make it mandatory for hunters to wear orange vests."
Walter said his wife was "a real jock."
"I couldn't keep up with her," he said
Toby said his mother was an avid scuba diver, hiker, skier, kayaker and windsurfer.
"She could leave young punks behind on the water -- myself included," he said.
The last fatal hunting incident in Ontario was in December 2004, when a 62-year-old hunter shot two men as they set up decoys near Kohler, outside Hamilton.
The hunter apparently mistook them for ducks, despite the bright orange hat and coats they wore, required under Ontario law.
Hunting accidents in Ontario have dramatically declined over the years -- there were just two in the province last year and neither was deadly.
But Robert Pye, spokesperson for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, said the fatal shooting is "deeply disturbing… it's just a shocking incident."
"Hunters in Ontario are required to have a minimum of 20 hours of firearms and hunter education safety training and over a million people have gone through the training (in the past 50 years)," Pye said.
"That's why we are so shocked, because hunting has enjoyed an incredible safety track record, particularly the last 10 years or so. The safety record for hunters has been near flawless for the last three or four years."
A Ministry of Natural Resources official noted the deer hunt in the area where SCHMID was shot is designated a so-called "controlled hunt" where hunters can only use shotguns, firing slugs rather than pellets, or black powder weapons whose projectiles don't travel as far as a bullet fired from a high-power hunting rifle.
Frederick Paul THOMAS, 60, of Keswick, faces charges of criminal negligence causing death and careless use of a firearm. He is to appear in Bradford court December 21.

JORDAN, Marianne
The family of the late Marianne JORDAN would like to thank the many families and Friends who thought of us during our time of sorrow. Your contributions of food, your donations to the Grey Bruce Health Centre, the Salvation Army and the Cancer Society, your visits, your cards, your flowers and your prayers were appreciated more than words can express. To all of the staff and residents of John Joseph Place, especially her Friends Millie, Percy, Ed, Eleanor and Agnes - thank you. Mom enjoyed her time there and talked often of the good Friends she had made. She loved all of the workers - no wonder, they treated her like their own mother. To the nurses on the 4th floor of Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre - your kindness and understanding will not be forgotten. It made the difficult time for the family easier to bear. Doctor MULROY - your compassion and empathy was much appreciated. To Doctor Edwin GAVILLER - for 40 years you took good care of our Mom. She thought of you as a good friend and trusted you implicitly. Your kindness and caring will always be remembered and appreciated by the family. Thanks to Doctor WHITTLE for your seven years of caring for Mom and humouring her when necessary. Thank you to Breckenridge Ashcrott Funeral Home and Rev. SCHMIDT for your assistance with the funeral service.
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug the sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
Fill each waking hour in useful ways
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in return will comfort you and hold you near
And never, never be afraid to die
For I a.m. waiting for you in the sky
- Jack, Sarilee, Ted, Peg and Jimmy

Cully SCHMIDT, Newpaperman: (1911-2006)
Newspaper boy who favoured pool rooms over classrooms rose to become the no-nonsense editor-in-chief of the Kitchener Record
By Unnati GANDHI with files from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Page S9
Toronto -- Day in and day out in the 1920s, Cully SCHMIDT would collect his bundle of Record newspapers from a dark, narrow alley off King Street in Kitchener, Ontario, and begin a two-hour newspaper route through the city's northwest suburbs to deliver his allotted 110 copies before dawn. He was about 13 years old; he would become editor-in-chief by the time he was 56.
School had not been much use to young Cully. After getting caught skipping class to play pool, he had taken his principal's advice to try for a permanent job at the newspaper. By all accounts, the man had a point. Young Cully did not seem to be interested in studying and, instead, he preferred to fill glue pots or lay out sheets of heavy paper used to wrap editions for rural delivery. From time to time, he even fielded readers' calls on hockey night, updating them on how the local teams were doing.
It was in this way that he was taken on as a cub reporter to launch a journalism career that spanned half a century. Over the years, he cultivated a reputation as a stern, old-fashioned and no-nonsense editor.
"He could be very gruff. He was non-communicative. He was one of those tough old newsmen of bygone eras," said J. Fred KUNTZ, publisher of The Record, which went through several name variations, including the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, until about a decade ago. But then again, Mr. KUNTZ only met the man as "a sweet old man" in the twilight of his life. "I never had the joy of working with Cully, or the terror, as the case may be."
Reporters who worked with him remember a man who would leave a simple note reading "See me. CBS," propped up on their typewriter keys.
"He would never just say to you, 'Come and see me in my office.' He was a man of very little words," said Carol JANKOWSKI, who arrived as a reporter at The Record in 1972 and is now editor of a local lifestyle magazine. On the whole, his staffs never knew if the reasons for his summons were good or bad.
"But he always had a good point to make," she said. "And then he would say, 'That's it. Get back to work.' "
Sporting a brush cut that looked fresh every day, Mr. SCHMIDT always arrived at work wearing a bow tie. At one point, ties were made mandatory. Photo editor Brian CLARK remembers one young reporter coming dressed in a turtleneck. "He was promptly reminded that a tie was required and sent home to change. For someone in his early 20s, all I thought was 'Wow, what an old fogey.'"
A newspaper man to the core, Mr. SCHMIDT exhibited outright hostility for the new medium of television. When CKCO, the local television station, went on air in the 1960s, Mr. SCHMIDT disapproved that some of his better-known writers appeared on air and prohibited Record staff from entering the studios.
By 1968, Mr. SCHMIDT went from being managing editor to editor-in-chief, a position he held until his retirement in 1975. During that time, he helped make The Record into one of the best in Ontario, recalls Brian CLARK, who started at The Record while Mr. SCHMIDT was editor-in-chief. For one thing, he regularly put in very long hours. "[It was] the best part of his waking hours, being engaged in the daily news," Mr. KUNTZ said.
The result was excellence among regional newspapers. "He set a standard that The Record was almost larger than it really was, given its circulation," says Mr. CLARK. "He really gave it a reputation that has stayed with it through the years."
The▲ reason, perhaps, is that Mr. SCHMIDT never really retired. He continued to take great interest in the paper and would go through every story on every page, circle all the typos and grammar mistakes and send the marked-up articles to the publisher.
"He was on a constant mission for accuracy," recalls Mr. KUNTZ. "This was a guy who lived, breathed and ate the newsroom. It was his life."
Last year, Mr. SCHMIDT attended the opening of The Record's new building. On a tour of the newsroom with Mr. KUNTZ, he suddenly stopped to look at a black-and-white photograph from the 1960s that showed several men in white shirts sitting around a table editing copy. "He pointed to each one and remembered every single person as if it was yesterday," Mr. KUNTZ said. "But it wasn't just that he could recall it all, it was the fondness like he was living it right at that moment."
Carl B. SCHMIDT was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on March 9, 1911. He died on September 21, 2006, after suffering a stroke. He is predeceased by his wife Margaret and survived by his children, John and Margaret.
