Norman Harold
McCLELLAND
By Robert McCLELLAND
Friday,
January 24, 2003, Page A20
Hockey player, business entrepreneur, family man. Born June 21,
1913, in Toronto. Died January 2 in Toronto, from complications
of Alzheimer's disease, aged 89.
It's fitting that Norman
McCLELLAND was born on June 21, the
summer solstice, as he lived every day as though it were the
longest of the year. Norman spent his childhood in Cache Bay,
Ontario, a tiny lumber village on Lake Nipissing. Norman was
proud of his small-town roots. It was there he developed his
respect for the outdoors and his simple, honest outlook toward
life.
Norman taught himself how to play hockey. He would wake up early
in the morning, scurry down to Lake Nipissing with his second-hand
skates and stick and clear the ice himself with a shovel. In
Grade 9, Norman left his close-knit family in Cache Bay to attend
high school in Toronto and eventually play Junior A hockey. He
met his lifelong partner, Margaret
CHOWN, soon after his arrival.
Last November, they celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary.
From 1933-1937, Norman studied science and education at the University
of Toronto. He also played for the Varsity Blues hockey team
and was the squad's captain in 1935-36. Norman managed to pull
in good grades while playing in a semi-pro league to pay for
his tuition and coach the women's hockey team. Not a big man,
(he was 5 foot 6 and, at his heaviest, 155 pounds) Norman was
known for his speed -- he once beat Montreal Canadiens star scorer
Toe BLAKE in a race for $5. During a tournament, scouts from
the Boston Bruins approached Norman's long-term friend and coach,
Ace BAILEY, asking him if his protégé wanted to turn professional.
Norman never pursued the offer as salaries back then were only
a small fraction of what they are today.
For a while after university, Norman taught high-school math
and physics. When the Second World War came, Norman joined the
navy. Margaret, by then his wife, often joked that he only enlisted
so he could play on the naval hockey team, which boasted several
National Hockey League players on its roster. Yet Norman took
his work seriously. He spent three years in a special branch
of the navy, opting to stay on after the war to help returning
soldiers find civilian jobs or attend school.
When he left the navy, Norman worked for a while with Imperial
Optical where he sold waste receptacles. Metal for the containers
was scarce following the war and Norman soon took advantage of
this niche in the market. With no engineering experience, he
started his own company, Erno Manufacturing, making metal household
and business products. With his strong work ethic and straightforward
and friendly business demeanor, Erno burgeoned from the back
of a garage to a building the size of a city block.
During this time, Norman also helped Margaret raise three boys.
He coached baseball and hockey from peewee to major-junior teams.
Among his charges were four-time Stanley Cup winner Peter
MAHOVLICH
and Mike KILKENNY, who went on to pitch for the Detroit Tigers.
In 1968, Norman bought Margaret the birthday present of her dreams:
a cottage on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. After he retired, Norman
and Margaret spent up to six months of the year there, revelling
in the lifestyle: canoeing at dusk and fishing at dawn. Norman
also took up watercolour painting and golf -- at 75, he shot
his age at a nearby 18-hole course.
Norman spent his last decade suffering from the advanced stages
of Alzheimer's. The disease stole Norman from the world, but
his spirit will never be forgotten. Within 10 minutes of meeting
someone he became a trusted and, often, a lifelong friend. He
played the piano, read extensively and enjoyed political debates
with his family over dinner and Margaret's apple pie. He loved
life, and no disease could take that memory of him away.
Robert McCLELLAND is Norman's son.

Man dies in ditch accident
By Will STOS,
Wednesday,
December 3, 2003 - Page A15
A Richmond Hill man died early yesterday morning after being
buried in a ditch he had been digging in his front yard.
Lorenzo PILAGATTI, 40, died after the walls collapsed and firefighters
on scene were unable to free him. His body was recovered several
hours later.
Firefighters from Richmond Hill and Vaughn were called to the
scene at 8: 30 p.m. Monday to free Mr.
PILAGATTI from the ditch.
An initial collapse had covered him up to his chest. About 1
a.m., a second cave-in completely covered him.
Mr. PILAGATTI's wife and two daughters were at home at the time,
although they were not outside.
"It's awful, absolutely terrible," said Constable Kim Killby
of York Regional Police. "I mean, these rescue workers were with
him for hours, talking to him, trying to keep him warm. And to
get so close and then all of the sudden another collapse to occur,
and this time cover him completely. They couldn't get to him."
Police said Mr.
PILAGATTI was using a backhoe to dig a trench
in his yard, possibly to connect his home to a sewer line or
make repairs. He was buried when he began digging in the trench
with a shovel.
Constable KILLBY said the mud and ground water made recovery
difficult.
Firefighters involved in the incident returned yesterday evening
for briefing. A critical-incident stress team was brought in
to assist them.

Harriet Ethel
(FRY)
KILLINS
By Sharon Anne
COOK
Wednesday,
July 9, 2003 - Page A18
Wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, nurse, community activist. Born
April 17, 1911, in Jordan, Ontario Died November 19, 2002, in
London, Ontario, of old age, aged 91.
In the far-off jungle of Papua New Guinea, the brothers in the
religious community called her "Florence" after Nurse Nightingale,
because of the kerosene lantern Ethel carried each evening as
she visited ailing boys in the residential school. Then well
into her 60s, Ethel was a Canadian University Services Organization
volunteer (along with her school-teaching husband), serving as
the village's nurse, as well as running the infirmary at the
school. The challenges were many. Ethel loathed driving, yet
in Papua New Guinea in the early 1970s, she intrepidly took a
battered car over the dirt tracks of the back-country to make
her rounds to villages rarely seen by a doctor. Here, she worked
with women to improve family nutrition and reduce infant mortality.
She always had a sense of fairness, social equity, selflessness,
and courage.
Yet Ethel didn't stand out in a crowd, although she was a tall,
willowy and attractive woman. Her congenital deafness made her
unusually shy in public. Not sure of what she might be missing
in a crowded gathering, she was hesitant to voice her social,
religious or political views. But she thought carefully about
public and private issues, read widely and held to her convictions
for good reason, whether popular or not, and voiced them well
one-on-one.
Ethel (née
FRY) was descended from one of Ontario's pioneer families:
Her FRY ancestors had joined 16 other Mennonite families in 1800
to trek from Pennsylvania to southwestern Ontario. They took
up a land grant and built an imposing two-story log-and-frame
house.This building is now part of the Jordan Museum, and is
filled with the pioneer objects, including jacquard-woven coverlets
made by her grandfather, Samuel Nash
FRY.
As a young woman, Ethel enrolled in the nursing program at Hamilton
General Hospital just as the Depression was beginning. Graduating
in 1934, she joined an earlier odyssey of nurses leaving Ontario
for better wages and more job security. With several Friends,
she found work in Albany, and later in Buffalo, New York A romance,
started a decade earlier, was rekindled in 1939-40, when she
returned to Canada and married the man who would be her partner
for 62 years, Harold
KILLINS.
With marriage, she became a busy farm wife, working alongside
her husband during busy periods and raising three children, two
sons and a daughter. In 1963, just as their own children were
leaving home, Ethel and Harold accepted a second family, taking
on the parenting of a treasured niece and nephew who had been
orphaned. Most of the day-to-day nurturing fell to Ethel, and
the respect and love returned to her testifies to the quality
of the stable relationships she created for these two children
in their adolescence.
Following their period in Papua New Guinea, Ethel and Harold
settled in London, Ontario Ethel remained a community activist
through a United Church Women's group, the Canadian Save the
Children Organization, Operation Eyesight Universal, Amnesty
International, Meals on Wheels, and the Unitarian Service Committee.
She also worked for many years with a group of quilt-makers,
who donated the profits from their work to international development
projects. One memorable Christmas, well into her eighties, she
made matching wall hangings for every woman in her family.
Public and private acts of kindness sustained the quality of
her life through her final sad chapter, a six-year battle with
Alzheimer's disease. Visited often by her admiring family, Friends,
and most of all by her devoted husband, Ethel descended into
her final rest with the assurance that, as she had nurtured and
protected others, so she now found herself comforted.
Sharon is Ethel's daughter.

Hit by bus, bicycling student killed
Police attempting to reconstruct events that led to tragedy in
front of high school
By Ken KILPATRICK
Wednesday,
September 17, 2003 - Page A18
Burlington -- An 18-year-old student was struck by a school bus
and killed while riding her bike outside her high school yesterday
morning.
Jesica Marie
GREEN, a Grade 12 student, was riding her bicycle
across a driveway just 30 metres from the front door of Lord
Elgin High School when she was struck by a school bus that had
just delivered its students and was exiting on to the street.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The area in front of the school was busy with students and motorists
when the accident occurred just after 8 a.m.
"We all freaked out," said a student who was part of a group
standing in front of the school at the time.
"Someone said a person had been hit. She was kind of sprawled
out under the bus. A passing car driver ran over and told us
to call the police. We all stayed back... no one wanted to go
any closer to see what was really going on."
He said it didn't look as if the victim had been wearing a bicycle
helmet.
Three hours later, a truck safety officer and staff from the
Ontario Ministry of Transportation repeatedly drove the bus from
a parking spot in front of Lord Elgin to the New Street entrance.
At one point, a woman stood behind the driver and videotaped
the view through the windshield.
Dan MARADIN, general manager for Laidlaw Transit Ltd., said he
and the company "are deeply saddened by the incident and our
thoughts go out to the victim's family and Friends."
The woman driving the bus -- who has not been identified -- was
traumatized by the accident, he said, and the company is offering
her counselling. "She was a good driver and had been with us
for 1½ years."
Mr. MARADIN said the driver had been trained by Laidlaw. Training
to operate a school bus comprises 40 hours of classroom and behind-the-wheel
lessons.
The Halton District School Board immediately sent its Tragic
Event Response Team into the school to offer counselling to those
who witnessed the accident.
Students who needed help immediately were called to the school's
conference room where the response team waited with cookies and
drinks.
One student, in Lord Elgin as the event unfolded outside, said
they were told to stay in their classrooms and away from the
front of the school.
"The mood inside the school was very sad and there were some
tears," she said.
Marnie DENTON, communication officer with the school board, said
the response team "is there to help students who witnessed the
accident and those who were Friends of Ms.
GREEN.
They will be
at the school for as long as they are needed. They have specialized
training and help our students deal with the shock associated
with tragedy."
