Celebration of Life Service
On Saturday afternoon, May 26 a Celebration of Life service was held for John Oliver RITCHIE in the Annesley United Church, Markdale when a large crowd of Friends and relatives attended.
Prior to the service Bill McMEEKIN provided bagpipe music as the people entered the church. He concluded with playing the hymn "O God of Bethel", a family favourite and the hymn which was played as the Ritchie forefathers boarded the ship to come to Canada.
The eulogy was given by his sister, Rosemary RITCHIE, who related about growing up on the Old Durham Road, Artemesia Township the son and daughter of John and Sadie (Sarah OLIVER) RITCHIE and attending the Old Durham Road School. She recalled many experiences of their young and teenage years and then of John Oliver going off to train for a nurse. She recalled how he graduated from the Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital then obtained his B.A. from Waterloo University before heading west in 1974.
He chose to live in Delta, British Columbia where his great-uncle and former British Columbia premier, John OLIVER, had settled. There he enjoyed nature, creating a wonderful garden and walking his dogs.
He completed a M.A. at Simon Fraser University and became a teacher at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Douglas College where he taught for 30 years. He was much loved and admired by colleagues and students alike.
He enjoyed music and sang with the Vancouver Bach Choir for several years in performances of Handel's Messiah, the Aida performance at British Columbia Place and subsequent travels to perform in Japan.
Rev. Mark WAUGH of Annesley United read scripture and gave the meditation.
George ACHESON and Marilyn GUY sang several solos and duets during the service.
Les MacKINNON, a cousin, recalled memories of John Oliver as did Katie HARRISON, a classmate.
Others taking part and recalling memories were Joe TAILOR/TAYLOR, Lynn MOREWOOD, Katherine HALL, and Mary HALL.
All classmates were presented with roses upon entering the church and at a specific time during the service went forward and placed them on the table at front of the church.
Following the service a time of fellowship was enjoyed in the church's Fellowship Hall.
John Oliver RITCHIE's ashes were interred in the family plot in Evergreen Cemetery, South Line, former Artemesia Township.

Horsewoman killed by train
Shirley STOREY waited for one train, but was hit by a second leaving the Western Fair.
By Patrick MALONEY, Sun Media, Sun., September 16, 2007
A woman involved in a Western Fair competition was struck by a train and killed just outside the fair grounds yesterday, the second straight year that tragedy has marred the exhibition.
Shirley STOREY, 62, of Clinton, was waiting at a level crossing at Rectory Street with four others -- including her husband, Jim -- as a westbound train trundled past.
With the warning lights still flashing, the group began to cross when the other four noticed a freight train heading east. But Shirley STOREY, described by Friends as a "super lady," didn't see it coming.
"I was in the (Agriplex) when I heard the train brakes," said Ted LANSBERGEN, who, like STOREY, was at the fair for a equestrian competition organized by the Mid-Western Ontario Horseman's Society.
"It was terrible," LANSBERGEN said. "She's a hard-working lady. A good couple, good hard-working family."
The 7 a.m. incident blocked the tracks for about three hours, forcing local Via passengers to board buses yesterday morning.
Those involved in the horse riding competition park their trailers in a gravel lot on Rectory Street, immediately south of the train tracks running south of York Street. They walk across the tracks to the nearby Agriplex.
Making the tragedy all the more stunning is the fact Jim STOREY was there when his wife was struck by C.N. train 398, which was Toronto-bound.
He had to be pulled from the scene by Friends within the close-knit equestrian community, one witness said.
"(Shirley and Jim) were attached at the hip," said Lynn EATON, a friend and director with the horsemen's society. "They were always, always together.
"He went to a (recent) competition in Strathroy (alone) and he went home because he couldn't be without her. He missed her."
This weekend's event did go on as scheduled despite the tragedy, EATON said.
"Shirley had a plaque she always carried with her… That's what we read when we had a moment of silence for her," EATON said. "Shirley would have wanted it to go on.
"I was just joking with her (Friday) night. It's just a shock."
A tearful LANSBERGEN said the STOREY clan had been competing at Western Fair for close to a decade.
Though everyone knows to be careful on the tracks, he expressed surprise that trains travel so fast through the city.
The lights were activated and warning arms down at the time of the tragedy, London police Sgt. Greg BLUMSON said.
Though it isn't common for two trains to cross paths at the same time at a level crossing, a C.N. spokesperson said it does happen and pedestrians should be aware of that.
"If you have two tracks there, always expect a second train," Frank Binder said yesterday. "It's a tragedy for the family, it's tough for our crews (but) if the lights and bells are activated, always expect a train.
"And whatever number of tracks are there, that's how many trains there could be."
Another tragedy cast a pall over the Western Fair last year, when Londoner Janet RUDD, 32, choked and collapsed while playing a fair-run game in which she stuffed marshmallows in her mouth and tried to say the words "chubby bunny." She died in hospital.
"It's a sad note for all of us, especially those of us who knew Mrs. STOREY," fair manager Dave TAILOR/TAYLOR said of yesterday's death. "We certainly feel for the family."

'He became effortless in his greatness'
It was his experience under fire as an army medic serving in Italy during the Second World War that imbued him with a spiritual appreciation of humanity, writes Sandra MARTIN. He would later draw on it as one of Canada's finest classical actors
By Sandra MARTIN, Page S7
A man who could command a stage in any country and who chose to make his career in Canada, William HUTT was a formidable presence at the Stratford Festival since its founding in 1953, appearing in myriad roles from Prospero, Lear and Falstaff to Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. For fans, he made Shakespeare accessible, speaking in his homegrown voice rather than adopting plummy tones from across the Atlantic. For actors, he was a mentor, a friend and an avuncular presence, showing them how to inhabit a stage without hogging the limelight. And he did it all with generosity and panache. The stage was his home, and no stages were more familiar to him than those at Stratford, where he performed in 130 productions over 39 seasons.
"This is a historic moment in Canadian arts," Richard MONETTE, artistic director of the festival, said in an interview. "It is a cause of mourning for this loss and also a cause of great celebration because of his legacy. He was a great classical actor and he essayed all the great roles. He was equally at home with crowds as well as kings. He had a great range, everybody in the audience could relate to him - whether they were society people or farmers, he could appeal to them. He became effortless in his greatness."
William Ian deWitt HUTT was the middle of three children of Edward deWitt HUTT, a magazine editor, and Caroline Frances Havergal (née WOOD.) His mother suffered from septicemia after his birth, and was soon pregnant with her third child. Consequently, he spent long periods of time with an aunt and uncle in Hamilton. "My aunt belonged to Christ Church and they were doing a Christmas pageant. I was only 4 or 5 years old, but I wanted to be in it," he said later. He had only one line - "Beads for sale" - that he delivered looking directly at the audience. At that moment, he fell in love with performing.
During the Depression, his father's magazines failed and he was forced to sell insurance, a job he "loathed," and to move his wife and children into a home belonging to her family. Young Bill attended Vaughan Road Collegiate and then North Toronto Collegiate, performing occasionally in school productions, including a role as a policeman in The Pirates of Penzance. A gangly loner, he was socially awkward as a teenager; that's when he realized he was bisexual. Homosexuality was morally taboo and illegal in the 1930s, and that increased his sense of isolation from his family and his peers.
He did very poorly in high school and left without graduating in 1941 to enlist in the army and the 7th Light Field Ambulance Unit. He was 21 and, unlike many young men who dash off to war deluded by visions of glory, he "had no intention of shooting anybody," as he explained in an interview in his Stratford living room last Friday afternoon.
After going overseas, he saw a production of Arsenic and Old Lace in London with Sybil Thorndike and Lillian Braithwaite that enthralled him, but it was his experience as a medic that imbued him with a spiritual appreciation of humanity that he would draw on later as an actor. "You see a lot of death and dying and the one thing you realize is that the cheapest commodity on the market is one human life." He won the Military Medal for bravery and was promoted from corporal to sergeant after he volunteered to set up a first aid centre under heavy mortar fire just north of Cassino in Italy. He never liked talking about his heroism, explaining that "you just do what needs to be done, you don't think about it."
When he returned to Toronto in 1946, he marched into Exhibition Stadium and was told that his parents were sitting in the section of the stands marked H. When he saw his mother for the first time in five years, she looked at him blankly across a morbid divide of devastating experience, and said nothing, not even his name. "It haunted me for a while," he admitted on Friday.
He realized he "had to get on with my life," so he enrolled at the University of Toronto's Trinity College, which gave him a high-school equivalency based on his war service. He performed at the Hart House theatre, and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1949.
By then, he had already gained experience in summer repertory and a season with Canadian Repertory Theatre in Ottawa. He also directed Little Theatre groups throughout Ontario and adjudicated for the Western Ontario Drama League from 1948 to 1952. When he heard that Tom PATTERSON was launching the Stratford Festival in 1953, he said he had to look up the place on a map. Although he thought Mr. PATTERSON was "out of his cotton-picking mind," he signed on and spent most of the next decade serving an apprenticeship in supporting roles such as Sir Robert Brackenbury and Captain Blunt in Richard III and Minister of State in All's Well That Ends Well in the festival's inaugural season, and Froth in Measure for Measure, Hortensio in The Taming of the Shrew and Leader of the Chorus in Oedipus Rex the following year, when he became the first recipient of the Tyrone Guthrie Award.
He was not an overnight sensation, waiting until after he was 40 to land his first major role at Stratford - Prospero in The Tempest - in the festival's 10th season in 1962. The following year, he dazzled critics and audiences with his sexually ambivalent portrayal of Pandarus in Troilus and Cressida.
Although the stage was his mainstay, Mr. HUTT also appeared in film and on television, notably as a port-soaked Sir John A. Macdonald in the 1974 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation-television production of Pierre Berton's The National Dream, a performance that earned him both a Genie and an Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists award. He also played the father in Robin Phillips's The Wars, based on the novel written by his friend, Timothy Findley. Mr. HUTT generally disliked the disjointed "bits and pieces" approach of filmmaking, complaining that it was antithetical to the process of developing a character and fleshing it out with other actors in the immediacy of a continuous theatrical performance. Nevertheless, he recently starred in six episodes of the television series Slings and Arrows, playing an aging actor performing Lear.
People were surprised when he was cast in the female role of Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in 1975, but he made the character his own. He said he learned "stillness" from a comment by director Robin Phillips: "Lady Bracknell moves through a room without disturbing one speck of dust." Her towering feathered hat perched atop his 6-foot-2 frame made it awkward for him to move, and he resolved "never to move on stage, unless it improved on stillness." What he wanted to share with the audience was the fact that "thought conveys itself" through the stillness that precedes movement.
In 1979, he played the fool to Peter Ustinov's Lear, making way for the British actor's celebrity turn on the Stratford stage in a role that Mr. HUTT had already played twice. But it was Mr. HUTT's tragic death-haunted fool that drew the raves; according to backstage lore, Mr. Ustinov was "shaken" by his supporting actor's greatness, never thinking that "such an actor was here on this continent."
He had a dry spell at Stratford under John Hirsch, who was artistic director from 1981 to 1985, and only cast him in one role. He fared better under John Neville, but truly enjoyed a renaissance when Richard MONETTE became artistic director in 1994. By then, Mr. HUTT had become heavily involved in the Grand Theatre in nearby London, where Martha Henry was artistic director from 1988 to 1994, and had appeared at the rival Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Man and Superman in 1989.
When Mr. HUTT received a Governor-General's Award for lifetime achievement in the performing arts in 1992, he couldn't accept in person because he was performing in A.R. Gurney's The Dining Room at the Grand. The following season, he had three major roles at Stratford: Falstaff in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, diplomat Harry Raymond in Timothy Findley's The Stillborn Lover (a play that Mr. Findley had written for Mr. HUTT and actress Martha Henry; Stratford reprised it in 1995 as a 75th birthday present for him), and James Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's A Long Day's Journey Into Night.
About this time, people began asking when he would retire from the stage. He blamed himself for starting the rumour after he performed in The Tempest at Stratford in 1999 and said he wanted to take a year off. That same year, Canada Post issued a stamp celebrating the Stratford Festival with an image of its famous thrust stage superimposed with an ethereal depiction of Mr. HUTT as Prospero with his arms outstretched and a wistful expression on his face. The following year, the City of Stratford renamed the Waterloo Street bridge in his honour.
Instead of taking a final bow at Stratford, he added a new venue to his repertoire by agreeing to play the poet Spooner in Soulpepper's remounting of Harold Pinter's No Man Land in 2003, the first time he had been on a Toronto stage in nearly two decades. " HUTT's Spooner is a miracle of economy, delivering every ounce of the text with an efficiency that makes his performance almost terse in the play's first act," said Kate TAILOR/TAYLOR, then theatre critic for The Globe and Mail, before he "masterfully delivers Spooner's final proposal with an expansiveness that leaves one speculating about the desperation beneath and so closes the play."
The man who lured Mr. HUTT to Toronto was Soulpepper impresario Albert SCHULTZ. A member of the Young Company when Robin Phillips was artistic director at Stratford, Mr. SCHULTZ had played Edgar to Mr. HUTT's desolate monarch in the festival's 1989 production of King Lear. Mr. HUTT returned to Toronto and to Soulpepper in 2004 to play Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. During rehearsals, he told The Globe's Ian Brown that "most of my dark moments now centre around just how many more years I am going to be granted. When I turned 80, the heart specialist - because I have a bit of a heart problem - said, 'Well, after 80, it's a bit of a crapshoot, you know.' " By then, he had a bad back from an injury he incurred in the 1950s when, as a minor player in The Merry Wives of Windsor, he jumped into a laundry hamper and jolted his spine.
Although Mr. HUTT had officially retired from Stratford at the end of 2005 with his poignant and masterful performance as Prospero in The Tempest, leaving the audience with the final words, "Let your indulgence set me free," he agreed to come back for one role this year as a farewell gesture to artistic director Richard MONETTE, in Diana LeBlanc's production of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance. In March, he underwent a series of tests and was diagnosed with anemia, which turned into acute leukemia. He withdrew from the play, offering "my most profound apologies for the problems and inconvenience I'm sure it will cause."
And then he prepared for what he said on Friday was his final project - death - of which he was determined to be the "project manager." With landscape gardener Matthew MacKAY, the man who shared his home since 1973, he chose a cemetery plot and decided on his epitaph: Soldier and Actor. After a stay in hospital, he returned to his home on the banks of the Avon in Stratford and visited with family and Friends, including Albert SCHULTZ. "Bill was extremely brave and generous in preparing those near to him for his final exit. And yet today it seems unthinkable that he is no longer among us," he said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Mr. HUTT decided it was time to go back to hospital. That same afternoon, Michael Therriault, who once played Ariel to Mr. HUTT's Prospero and is currently getting raves as Gollum in the English production of The Lord of the Rings, cancelled a performance to fly home to see him. Sadly, he arrived a few hours too late.
The three stages of William HUTT
His voice was commanding and polite when I requested an interview two weeks ago. "I will be happy to talk with you, but my days are short," he said. "I am looking on my demise as a project, and I am the project manager." We set a date for last Friday afternoon.
On a clear, sunny day I walked across the bridge named in his honour to his house on Waterloo Street in Stratford, where the white Cadillac, with WMHUTT on the licence plate, was parked in the driveway. I rang the doorbell and was ushered into the living room by his housemate, Matthew MacKAY. Wearing a loose, brown-patterned shirt over casual trousers and, with terribly swollen ankles showing above a pair of moccasins, Mr. HUTT sat in a wing chair beside a window. He was attached to a portable oxygen tank and did not rise to greet me -- yet another indication, from an unfailingly courteous man, that his strength was failing. His face had a waxy pallor and, as a reformed smoker after more than 60 years of cigarettes, he was often racked with coughing spells, but his conversation was thoughtful and engaging. Over the next 90 minutes, he talked frankly about his parents, the war and his introduction to death before he had had a chance to know much about life. He said there are three major changes: The first is adolescence, when things happen to your body and your mind. The second stage is when you are in your 20s and your parents become your Friends rather than authority figures (the war had interrupted that process for him and left him divided from his parents). The third stage, the one he was entering, is death and wondering what that will be like.
Mr. HUTT was well aware of his own capacities as an actor. "I will leave the word 'great' to history," he said, "but I do know that in some kind of way, my career as an actor has paralleled the growth of theatre in this country." He said he had always been very practical as an actor, and that his decision to stay home rather than to chase fame in London and New York came from an "arrogant pride" in Canada. "I had no intention of leaving this country until I was invited. I wasn't going to beg." And by doing so, he showed that it was possible to have both a stellar career here and illustrious offers to work elsewhere. Of artistic director Richard MONETTE, who built so much of the last 15 years at the festival around him, Mr. HUTT said: "He has prolonged my life and my career."
The only question he deflected was about his romantic life. He referred to his housemate Mr. MacKAY as "the backbone of my life," but insisted on keeping the nature of their relationship private. "He has his own life, he always has had. I know people would like to pigeonhole it, but it isn't a pigeonhole thing."
Sensing his fatigue, I said my goodbyes. After struggling to get up, he pulled my face down and kissed me on both cheeks, a farewell that only now I realize was permanent. Sandra MARTIN
William deWitt HUTT was born in Toronto on May 2, 1920. He died in hospital in Stratford, Ontario, on June 27, 2007, of acute leukemia. He was 87. A funeral is being planned for Saint_James Anglican Church in Stratford.

In a weekend of gun violence, 11-year-old's death 'heartbreaking'
By Jessica LEEDER with a report from Jennifer LEWINGTON, Page A1
It was around midnight Saturday when two telltale cracks cut the sounds of happy partygoers and children playing outside right out of the air.
The fast pattern of gunfire that followed sent mothers within a North Toronto public housing complex into a panic. In No. 1880, the centre block, some began hollering out the names of their children, listening for their calls back.
While the shouting carried on, 11-year-old Ephraim BROWN was splayed on the ground in an alleyway next to the building, unable to even speak his name. Caught in a rain of gunfire while zooming around on his scooter, neighbours said, the Grade 6 pupil took a bullet to the neck. By the time a brood of women from the complex found him and carried him into a nearby unit to tend to him, his blood pressure had dropped. It appeared they were too late.
"I was holding him in my arms," a women who gave her name as Karen said. "As soon as I held him, I knew there was something wrong. We were trying to do cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. We were trying," she said, shaking her head.
Young Ephraim, the city's 43rd homicide victim of the year, was one of three males in the Toronto area killed by gunfire over the weekend, prompting renewed calls for a crackdown on illegal guns and an end to the gang violence that has made the northern corridor of Toronto's Jane Street notorious.
The Toronto shootings came as gun-related violence played out in other Canadian cities over the weekend. Three women and a man were shot outside a downtown nightclub in Winnipeg when a man walked up to a group standing outside the entrance of the club and fired seven shots before fleeing on foot, police said. The man, believed to be a bouncer, was seriously injured. In Halifax, Glenn Brian Bourgeois, 37, died Saturday afternoon after he was shot several times and left on the street.
Toronto Mayor David Miller, the father of an 11-year-old, noted that all shooting deaths are tragedies, but he called Ephraim's death "exceptionally heartbreaking."
Late yesterday, while police continued their investigation into the boy's shooting at the complex near the intersection of Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue West, children on bicycles nonchalantly wove over and under police tape, as if the yellow streamers were simply decorations left over from a birthday party.
Among some violence-weary residents lounging in the hot afternoon sun amidst the police tape, it seemed as if a malaise has set in.
"Another life gone. Nothing we can do," one young mother said. "It happens all the time. I'm not afraid it's spreading: I know it's spread. Before this happened, this part of Jane… was considered safe," she said.
Up the road at a community police detachment, Ephraim's family, who moved to the complex only recently, appealed to their neighbours for help in solving his killing.
"It could just as easily have happened to one of your family members," Amanda TAILOR/TAYLOR, Ephraim's 23-year-old sister, said yesterday while clutching her brother's picture to her chest and fighting back tears.
"For those of you who don't know me or my family or my little brother, I'm sure what I'm about to ask you is going to sound like a really big favour," she said. "I'm asking if you know anything, anything at all, you say something. We all know somebody out there knows something."
While police have yet to make any arrests in the shooting, Toronto Police Detective Sergeant Gary GIROUX said police are working with numerous witnesses. The incident has its roots in a birthday party held at the complex Saturday that got out of hand when rival gang members carrying handguns came face to face.
Ephraim was saying goodbye to some Friends, about to wheel his way home, when numerous shots were fired, neighbours said.
Toronto Police Chief Blair yesterday vowed to make Ephraim's shooters "pay for the terrible crime they committed."
He said he spoke with Mr. Miller and Attorney-General Michael Bryant, and both pledged to do "anything and everything that is required" to apprehend and prosecute the shooters, and to stop the trend of violence in the area.
He also implored the community not to engage in retaliation.
"That will not bring the young boy back," he said.

Pat was born in Campbellford, Ontario, May 20, 1913, and was the only daughter of Alphonsus and Alice BRADY. She was predeceased in 1976, by her loving husband of 41 years, John Joseph TAILOR/TAYLOR and will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by her children, Grant (Charlotte), Ann DE JONG, Paul, Frances WENTGES, Sheilagh, Philip, Stephen, Vicki and Peter (Michelle), by her brother Charles (Gerry) and all the Brady clan. She leaves a legacy of 24 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed with her affection, grace and approachable nature. She was predeceased in 2006, by her sons-in-law Cornelis (Kees) WENTGES and Egbert (Bert) DE JONG. Vibrant and candid, Pat was cherished for her thoughtful and generous spirit, her wisdom and natural elegance. Without losing touch with her strong faith, Irish roots and respect for tradition, she embraced modern day life, having a strong connection with those far younger than herself. A flapper in the 20's, a stylish young bride in the 30's, she devoted herself entirely to family, spending cherished summers with them on Lake Joseph. Pat will always be remembered for her ease as a gracious hostess in Hamilton, Montreal, Toronto and Naples. The family is enormously appreciative to all the staff at The Balmoral Club, where Pat had been a resident these past 10 years. We wish to gratefully acknowledge the compassion and kindness of her care-givers, Esther, Nellie and Gillian.

One of Canada's last explorers, he mapped vast regions of the North
Ottawa scientist who spent 35 years working for the Geological Survey of Canada found rock stardom in the wilderness as a pre-eminent expert on Precambrian formations
By Alwynne GWILT, Page S9
Fred TAILOR/TAYLOR was one of Canada's last explorers. A scientist with boots and a backpack, he mapped vast areas of the geologically unknown North to accumulate a motherlode of data about the rocks, minerals and formations that make up one of the largest and oldest landmasses on Earth. His maps are still used for exploration today and some have said he deserves a medal for the amount of territory he covered in his years of service to the Geological Survey of Canada.
He hadn't always intended to be a geologist. He grew up in London, amid the rich, loamy farmlands characteristic of that part of Ontario, and hankered to be a veterinarian. A child of the Depression, he was raised in his grandmother Elizabeth's home on Simcoe Street, where he lived with his English immigrant parents, Samuel and Lydia. It was a time when few people had jobs and his family often did without. It was a hardship that would affect Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR in later years.
By the time the Second World War came around, he was a lean 13-year old whose height made him look older than he was. In 1942, he signed up illegally as an underage army recruit, but it was not until 1945 that he made it overseas. He fought in Holland, Belgium, Germany and France, an experience he seldom talked about except for the inexplicable remark that he owed his life to his general.
When peace returned, he was demobilized and given two choices by the government: a home or an education. Not yet 20 when the war ended, he thought about where an education might take him. A house was for older men. In 1946, he applied to veterinary school at the University of Western Ontario, only to be disappointed. Apparently, so many former servicemen wanted to be vets that the school asked him to select a different major. For no particular reason, he chose geology. The decision changed the course of his life.
By all accounts, it was a year of major life developments. At a traditional Saturday-night dance at the local arena, where boys lined one wall and girls the other wall until someone broke the ice, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR picked out a 22-year-old employee of an insurance agency employee named Shirley and asked her to dance. Later that evening, he walked her home and a romance took root.
In the early years, they bonded over her access to technology: She had a typewriter; he had essays to write. By 1949, those key strokes had earned him a degree in geology and a hand in marriage. After a September wedding, they took off for postgraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal. It was a time of renewed poverty. At $90 a month, his government veteran's stipend was hardly enough to sustain them. Shirley got a job, and they postponed having children.
He left McGill with a doctorate (although he loathed being addressed as "Dr. TAILOR/TAYLOR") and landed at job with Cominco in Trail, British Columbia There, the TAYLORs started their family. Daughter Virginia was born in a Cranbrook hospital in January, 1954, and son Mark arrived 11 months later in Ottawa.
By then, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR had accepted a job at the Geological Survey of Canada. As an expert in Precambrian rock formations, he was on track to rock stardom. Strong and fit, and with a bent for exploration, it was his job to go to remote regions, take samples and create detailed maps -- often of places where none existed.
Each summer began the same way: In June, his children tearfully waved goodbye and he departed on another dangerous four-month mission in the North. The bush planes were unsophisticated, the bears ran rampant and the weather dictated what he and others in his party would eat that week. (If supplies couldn't get in, it was oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.) For Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR, though, it was all a grand adventure -- if sometimes perilous.
One summer, he was stranded in northern Manitoba with four student geologists, forgotten by their pilot. Without a radio to contact the outside world, they were running out of food and living mainly on fish when he made a bold decision. Selecting one of the students, he left the others in camp and canoed south along the shore of Hudson's Bay to Churchill, a 150-kilometre journey that demanded long days of paddling with little to eat.
It was a long and arduous voyage along a hostile coast that could be negotiated only in daylight hours. When evening came, they went ashore and made camp. One night, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR woke up with the awful realization that he had forgotten about the tide. The canoe had drifted out and he had to jump in the water and go after it. When finally they reached Churchill, he went ashore in such a fury that he stalked into the airplane company office, found the errant pilot and punched him out.
Over the years, there were few parts of the North that did not feel the sole of Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR's boots. Some seasons, he and his team covered a different area every day. In the early years, that meant the eastern half of Hill Island Lake and Snowbird Lake in the District of Mackenzie, along with Shethanei Lake in Manitoba. Called reconnaissance missions, the teams would break up and explore grids that had been laid out over a simple map. Each grid square had to be individually detailed, with samples gathered.
"It was exciting to find new formations that no one had ever discovered before," said Doctor Hulbert Lee, who first worked with Dr. TAILOR/TAYLOR in 1953. "These maps have stood the test of time."
Dr. TAILOR/TAYLOR covered about 22 kilometres a day, returning to camp near the end of each long Northern evening with a pack full of rock samples. He'd make dinner out of whatever canned food was available and pack the next day's lunch before settling down in a rough tent to write up his notes and sleep. Eventually, the notes became full-fledged papers that found homes in 65 scholarly publications between 1956 and 1986.
Perhaps his most important work was a five-year mapping of the Torngat Mountains on the Labrador Peninsula. Between 1966 and 1971, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR helped run one of the last helicopter reconnaissance missions in Canada. Transported by Bell 47 G2 helicopters, he mapped areas by grid division. Pilots would land as close as possible to a designated grid point, and with the rotor blades still whirling, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR would jump out and grab a rock sample, make notes about the area and take a reading of the minerals. He was then flown to the next grid. Every day, he performed as many as 50 such traverses. By the end of 1971, the work had led to the completion of 18 mapping sheets at the 1: 250,000 scale. The maps are still in use today.
"It sounds like boring work… but it was absolutely necessary to cover the country," said Richard Herd, the curator of national collections at the Geological Survey of Canada.
Yet it wasn't all so repetitive. There were encounters with polar bears, the trading of sugar for soapstone rubbings and some of the best salmon fishing in the world. One summer in the Torngat Mountains, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR took a fellow geologist to a secret fishing hole. "He pointed out a place and the helicopter pilot flew backwards into the canyon," said Bill Morgan, who worked with Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR in 1969 and 1972. "No one had ever fished in there. It was just incredible."
Every▼ autumn, Doctor TAILOR/TAYLOR returned to Ottawa fed up with eating canned food. His first order of business would be to eat a fresh tomato out of the back garden. For the rest of the year, he would rewrite his notes and review his findings.
Family life was spent coaching his sons' hockey teams, attending school plays and spending a lot of time with the children.
In 1974, he and his wife divorced after 25 years of marriage. He bought the family home for himself and continued at Geological Survey of Canada until 1989. He never threw anything away, a compulsion that harked back to his days of childhood poverty, but remained an outdoorsman. He stayed fit by playing tennis, and tended a large vegetable garden and some giant white and red-speckled begonias that had been passed down to him from his grandmother's garden. His eyes never came to rest on another polar bear, but he was blessed by a pair of falcons that nested in his backyard.
Fred TAILOR/TAYLOR was born in London, Ontario, on November 11, 1925. He died in Ottawa on July 3, 2007, of a heart attack after suffering complications from a rare blood disorder. He was 81. He is survived by his three children, Virginia, Mark and Craig.

Devoted wife to Paul, loving mother of Jeff (Diane DEAN,) Ann (Jamie McALPINE,) Scott (Sharonne YOUNG,) Sue TAILOR/TAYLOR, doting Grandmother to Carrie and Randall ROTH, Jennifer and Paula TAILOR/TAYLOR, Jane and Laura McALPINE, Jennifer and Kimberly DEAN, excited Great-grandmother of Ben ROTH. She shall be sadly missed though fondly mused by all. Those privileged to have known her can attest to a life, lived fully as the embodiment of faith, unwavering selflessness and a tireless devotion through her compassion for the betterment of, not only those she knew, but many unmet. Demonstrated by her many years' involvement in her community including tenure as Director of the Credit Reserve Association, President of the Mississauga Symphony Woman's Committee and as a perennial volunteer for the Cancer Society, she never demanded more than she did of herself. Others could only revel at her pace - a bar set high - physically, emotionally and spiritually. In eighty-four short years, she wasted none, travelled many, learned much and let all be savoured. Surely, now she rests in Heaven's embrace. Friends will be received at The Funeral Home of Skinner and Middlebrook, one block west of Hurontario Street at 128 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga, Ontario L5G 1E4, (905) 278-5546 on Monday, September 17, 2007 between 7 and 9 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held at Lorne Park Baptist Church, 1500 Indian Road, Mississauga, Ontario, L5H 1S7 (905) 278-7833, on Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 11 a.m. - a luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to: Lorne Park Baptist Church.

TAILOR/TAYLOR, Charlotte▲ Elizabeth▲ (née WILLIAMSON)
(29 May 1916 - 29 October 2007)
Betty passed away after a short illness, in Whitehorse, Yukon surrounded by family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Neale (President, Wilfrid Laurier Univ, 1978-82); brother, Ted and twin sister, Jean (1919). She is survived by her daughter, Anne (Frank TURNER;) son, Philip; devoted grand-daughters, Cindy-Anne BELANGER (Chris) and Wendy TAILOR/TAYLOR (Dave SHARP;) and four beautiful, much-loved great-granddaughters, Cheylsea, Kaitlynn, Tayler and Mackenzie. She will be remembered by special Friends, Pauline Scott, Barbara Cowan, Louise Jamieson, Helen Hughes and Françoise Scafield. Mum undertook her last great adventure in spring of 2007, moving from Toronto 'clear across the country' to the Yukon to be close to her daughter and granddaughters. Her 'Yukon family' were privileged to be able to share the last months of her life and to care for her in her final days. Mum graduated from Branksome Hall in 1936, where she was head Girl. She went on to complete a diploma in Teaching and Supervision at UofT School of Nursing (1941). A few years later, after working at Peterborough School of Nursing and Toronto General Hospital, she went into the Bachelor of Science program (Pre-Med) at McGill. She returned home to care for her ailing father, so never had the chance to complete her degree in internal medicine, but still managed to graduate with a B.Sc. in 1948. In 1949, Betty married Neale TAILOR/TAYLOR. Three years later, they adopted Anne and Philip. She went on to support Neale in his many academic endeavours, first at the University of Toronto, then through his many years at Wilfrid Laurier University. She also took great delight in decorating various homes over the years - she had a true flare for interior decoration. In her last months in the Yukon, she undertook her final such project, and even with failing eyesight could spot a slightly mis-aligned curtain or a picture off the mark by just a few millimetres. Betty always cherished the many Friends she made during her years in nursing, Friends from Waterloo and the Wilfrid Laurier community, as well as her connections to Branksome Hall. She also truly enjoyed life at the Claremont Residence, before her move to the Yukon, and felt especially thankful for the support and assistance of Peter Venton, Jim Tait and the Zinken and Lange families. During her brief illness, she was very impressed by the great care and compassion shown by staff at Whitehorse General Hospital. Heartfelt thanks to Eva, Tish, Catherine and Drs. Buchanan and Breitkreutz; extra special thanks to her Care Aid, Nicole Launay, and to Doctor Kanachowski. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the educational institution of your choice in her name. Memorial Service to be held at Whitehorse United Church, 6th November at 3 p.m. Graveside service at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, open to Friends, on 13 November 2007 at 2: 00 p.m. Reception to follow at Claremont Residence.

Joined▼ his wife Helen▼ (née PRESTON) and soul mate of 49 years on Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Born August 2, 1918 in Stratford, Ontario,▼ he is survived by his second wife Mary▼ MacLEOD, brother Bill,▼ brother-in-law Hugh SHORTILL, children Joan BOXER (Richard,▼) Jeff▼ (Patti,▲▼) Diana▼ (Bill TAILOR/TAYLOR,) and Arn (Peggy.) Grandchildren Sarah, John, Todd, Marley, Preston and Katie will sorely miss their Poppa. Uncle Arn leaves giant shoes to fill in the lives of the many Stapleton/Preston relatives spread throughout the world. As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize complicated concepts won over both union foes and management associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach). Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration of Arn's life will be held at First-St. Andrew's United Church, 350 Queens Avenue at Waterloo, London on Saturday, January 5 at 1: 00 p.m. Reception to follow. Cremation and Spring interment at Avondale Cemetery, Stratford. Memorial contributions to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 633 Colborne Street, Suite 150, London, Ontario N6B 2V3 would be gratefully appreciated.

STAPLETON, Arnold▲▼ Grieve▲▼
Joined▲▼ his wife Helen▲▼ (née PRESTON) and soul mate of 49 years on Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Born August 2, 1918 in Stratford, Ontario,▲▼ he is survived by his second wife Mary▲▼ MacLEOD, brother Bill,▲▼ brother-in-law Hugh SHORTILL, children Joan BOXER (Richard,▲▼) Jeff▲▼ (Patti,▲▼) Diana▲▼ (Bill TAILOR/TAYLOR,) and Arn (Peggy.) Grandchildren Sarah, John, Todd, Marley, Preston and Katie will sorely miss their Poppa. Uncle Arn leaves giant shoes to fill in the lives of the many Stapleton/Preston relatives spread throughout the world. As corporate lawyer (having graduated from Osgoode Hall in 1950), Director of Personnel and chief labour contract negotiator for General Motors of Canada over a 29 year career, A.G. was the youngest director in the company's history. His was the voice of reason - the calm amidst many a storm during one of the most challenging eras in the United Auto Workers/General Motors contract evolution. Many said that Arn's unique ability to compartmentalize complicated concepts won over both union foes and management associates alike. He was able to maintain composure by utilizing a wonderful sense of humour centered around a quick wit and well placed one-liners. A man of few words, when he spoke, people listened. An English scholar (Words Are Important!), a history and travel buff, a Wagnerian connoisseur, a lover of opera and Shakespeare and one heck of a bridge and chess player, Arn was a 50+ year subscriber to the Stratford Festival (his second most favorite place after the family cottage at Inverhuron Beach). Always willing to give his ample talents to worthy causes, Arn served as Chairman and long time director of the Oshawa General Hospital, board member of both St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa and First-St. Andrew's United Church in London, and was a member in standing of the Law Society of Canada. In the words of his beloved Shakespeare -"to thine own self be true". A celebration of Arn's life will be held at First-St. Andrew's United Church, 350 Queens Avenue at Waterloo, London on Saturday, January 5 at 1: 00 p.m. Reception to follow. Cremation and Spring interment at Avondale Cemetery, Stratford. Memorial contributions to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 633 Colborne Street, Suite 150, London, Ontario N6B 2V3 would be gratefully appreciated.

Michael John SAVAGE
Mike passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, in Scottsdale, Arizona, December 19, 2006 at the age of 42 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Mike is now with his other loving family members and Friends who went before him and were waiting to welcome him to his new home. He lovingly leaves his Mom and Dad, John and Sharon of Bay Estates on Manitoulin Island, his partner Lindsay TAIT/TAITE/TATE of Sudbury and their daughter Maraina, his former wife Denyse of Sudbury and their son Mason, his loving and supportive siblings, his sister Cheryl FABBRO (Jamie) of Sudbury, and their children Brendan, Will, Caden and Mike's namesake Mikayla, his brother Brian (Debbie) of Scottsdale, Arizona and their children Ryan and Redmond, his brother Dave (Kim) of Upland, California, and their children Cameron, Megan (predeceased) and Kristin, his Grandparents, Art (predeceased) and Winnie HILLIMAN of Saint Catharines and Wiliam and Dorothy SAVAGE (both predeceased) of Sudbury. Sadly missed by loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Mike enjoyed many outdoor activities including golfing and fishing and loved spending time at the camp on Manitoulin Island. He was very athletic and played many sports during his school years at R. L. Beattie and McLeod elementary schools and Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School, still holding some school and city records in track and field. His main love was hockey, playing on Sudbury's travelling minor teams, the Garson Native Sons of the NOJHL junior league and three years of major Junior A with the Sudbury Wolves and Belleville Bulls. He was especially proud to wear the Sudbury Wolves sweater and continued to be a Wolves supporter in later life. In 1996-97 he was an assistant coach with the Wolves. Mike also attended the University of Toronto playing with the Varsity Blues for two years. Mike often jokingly reminded his younger brother Brian that he had cleared away all the hurdles for him, making his path to the NHL an easier one. Upon returning to Sudbury in 1993, Mike continued with his love of hockey, playing with the Sudbury Nooners and many other recreational teams. Mike had a way of turning most people he met into good Friends, so he leaves behind many more people that he loved and who loved him. His family and Friends will miss his company, his good natured kidding and his wry sense of humour which stayed with him until he left us. Mike was so happy to be a father. He was so very proud of his son Mason, who he was able to help guide through the first 12 years of his life. And he was so happy to be able to spend a few precious months with his beautiful little daughter Maraina who brightened his life while he fought so hard against his terrible disease. Rested at the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home, 233 Larch Street, Sudbury. Funeral Service was at St. Andrew's United Church, 111 Larch St, Sudbury, Saturday, December 23rd, 2006 at 11: 30 am. Cremation at Parklawn Crematorium. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Mason and Maraina SAVAGE Trust Fund would be appreciated.
