HANNIBAL,
Dr.
Emmett
Ronald
Suddenly and unexpectedly on September 25, 2005, Emmett passed
on to a better place. Emmett was born March 21, 1944 in Dumont,
New
Jersey, the eldest child of Emmett Wendell
HANNIBAL and his
wife Julia
BETHEA. He was predeceased by his brother William
and his former wife
Judy
COOK. He is survived by his beloved
son Adam, his sister Ernestine of Newport News, Virginia, her
three children James, Sylvia and Sophia, his sister Carolyn of
Allentown, Pennsylvania, and her two children John and David.
Also left to cherish his memory are his many Friends whose stories
of his life will be shared during the Funeral Service on Wednesday
October 5, 11: 30 a.m. at the Thomson Funeral Chapel. Emmett practised
his selfless respect for others unfailingly. He was the recipient
of a Queen's Jubilee Medal, which pays tribute to individuals
whose achievements have benefited their fellow citizens, community
and country. At the time of his death, Emmett was the Regional
Director of Planning at Health Canada for the Manitoba and Saskatchewan
Region. Prior to this position, he was a Human Resources Officer
with the Public Service Commission, a Project Consultant with
City of Winnipeg, and the Associate Director of Continuing Education
at the University of Winnipeg. Emmett earned his Masters and
Doctorate in Education from Harvard University. His appointment
in 1975 as head of public programs and education at the Winnipeg
Art Gallery brought Emmett to Canada from Boston, Massachusetts.
Emmett spent the years 1980-1981 as visiting curator and lecturer
at the Museum of Anthropology, University of British Columbia.
He returned to Winnipeg in 1981 as chief of public programs at
the Museum of Man and Nature; one of his legacies from this time
was the supervision of the building of the Nonsuch exhibit. Emmett
possessed a unique combination of deep soulfulness and superb
intellect. Those who knew him felt privileged to experience his
essence. His devotion to his faith was expressed in his long
service and commitment to Unity Church. Emmett believed there
was a divine order to life and no matter what challenge or adversity
he faced, he did so with great dignity, discipline and focus.
Emmett tended meticulously to his bonsai collection, was an avid
reader and could speak in depth on almost any subject. Pallbearers

Greg, 1992 -- Died This Day
Saturday, November 12, 2005, Page S9
Artist born in London, Ontario, in 1936.
One of Canada's best known contemporary artists, he was killed
when a pickup truck plowed into a group of cyclists on a road
near London. He had studied at the Ontario College of Art in
Toronto from 1957 to 1960, thereafter returning to his home town,
where he lived and worked most of his life. He had been showing
his multi-media work continuously in private galleries and public
museums throughout Canada and abroad since his debut, at London's
MacIntosh Memorial Gallery, in 1961. He represented Canada at
the 1976 Venice Biennale and, in 1981, was the subject of a panoramic
retrospective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

CULLEN helped put Sarnia on map
The former Sarnia-Lambton member of Parliament and federal judge
died Tuesday at 78.
By Megan O'TOOLE,
Free
Press
Reporter
Bud CULLEN, the man who introduced the Unemployment Insurance
Act and helped establish Sarnia as a worldwide petrochemical
centre, died Tuesday 78.
Yesterday, those who knew
CULLEN remembered the integrity of
the former Sarnia-Lambton member of Parliament and his life of
public service.
CULLEN was accessible, laid-back, warm and friendly. He was a
"people person" who genuinely cared about creating a more fair
society, said Sarnia Mayor Mike
BRADLEY, who served as
CULLEN's
campaign manager and executive assistant in the early 1980s.
"It was not his style to personalize politics,"
BRADLEY said
yesterday.
CULLEN had been ill for some time.
He was first elected to Parliament in 1968, the year Pierre Trudeau
became prime minister.
Ray CURRAN was vice-president of the Sarnia Liberal association
at the time, and chaired the meeting at which
CULLEN won his
nomination.
"He was always one of the folks,"
CURRAN recalled. "He was very
responsive to the needs of the community."
Trudeau named
CULLEN to cabinet in 1974 as revenue minister.
A year later,
CULLEN was moved to Immigration, where he remained
for four years.
His Liberal comrades and supporters recall a number of causes
CULLEN pushed for that have had lasting impacts.
The Cullen-Couture Immigration Agreement, an initiative
CULLEN
spearheaded, gave Quebec the ability to select its own immigrants
and became "a model for the federal government,"
BRADLEY said.
CULLEN was also instrumental in pushing for changes to the Immigration
Act that allowed Vietnamese war refugees to more easily seek
shelter in Canada.
"The changes he made... created an avenue for more good people
to come to Canada and build it into the great nation it is today,"
said Jack FULLERTON, one of the founders of the weekly Sarnia
Gazette.
During his tenure at the Gazette,
FULLERTON, a longtime Liberal,
endorsed CULLEN through his columns.
"He served his riding well,"
FULLERTON said.
CULLEN retired from Parliament in June 1984 and was named a judge
to the Federal Court of Canada two months later.
"He made a number of landmark decisions, standing up for human
rights and protecting Canadians through the Charter,"
BRADLEY
said.
He pointed specifically to a controversial decision
CULLEN made
in 1999, quashing a certificate that allowed a man to be detained
without explanation for "security reasons."
Most of all, though,
BRADLEY recalls
CULLEN as a kind and generous
friend. "He was like a second father to me."
CULLEN's funeral is 11 a.m. Saturday in Ottawa.

Pat began her career with Canadian Automobile Association in
1962 after graduating from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute's
Radio and Television Arts Program. During her 33 year career
with Canadian Automobile Association, Pat was a well-respected
authority on road safety, winter driving techniques, and vehicle
safety. Until 1977, Pat did the traffic reports for many of Metro
Toronto's top radio stations and was dubbed "The Voice of Canadian
Automobile Association" she then went on to give countless radio
and television interviews.
Pat served on many safety-related organizations; she was a Member
of the Metro Safety Council, The Canadian Association of Road
Safety Professionals, a Trustee and Chairperson of the Traffic
Safety Committee and Secretary and Vice Chairperson of The Better
Roads Coalition.
Pat took the lead and actively campaigned for seat belt legislation
and promoted the concept of government approved standards for
seat belts in automobiles manufactured in North America. She
worked closely with Transport Canada to promote the proper use
of Child Restraint Systems. Pat implemented a wide variety of
safety programs for drivers and pedestrians.
In 1984, Pat responded to a request for the then Ministry of
Correctional Services to "Stop Impaired Probationers in Toronto"
and served on The Advisory Council for "People to Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere".
Perhaps one of Pat's most notable contributions to Canadian Automobile
Association was her active involvement in the School Safety Patrol
Program. From 1969 and until her retirement in 1995, she was
the Chief Co-ordinator of the "School Safety Patrol Officers'
Training Camp" which is held annually at Camp Samac in Oshawa.
Each year, approximately 200 students attend the camp and in
her honour, the Patricia A. Curran School Safety Patroller of
Year award is presented to one of approximately 21,000 active
patrollers within the club territory. Each year, Pat presented
the award to the recipient of the patroller of the year award.
She will be greatly missed by all Canadian Automobile Association
associates who had the honour of knowing her and by the students
who enjoyed her presence during the camp.

Pat CURRAN,
Traffic
Reporter (1939-2005)
Until helicopters cut her out of a job, the Canadian Automobile
Association traffic reporter did her daily best to make sure
everyone in Toronto got home safely
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, December
19, 2005, Page S11
Toronto -- Pat
CURRAN was the Voice of the Canadian Automobile
Association in Toronto and an authority on school-safety patrols
and road and vehicle safety. Every day, she did her best to try
and make sure people got home safely.
From 1962 to 1977, Pat
CURRAN broadcast radio reports on most
Metro Toronto stations. The motor league had its own studio --
with direct lines to most of the city's big radio stations --
where she put on her headset and went to work smoothing the way
for Toronto commuters.
According to the Canadian Automobile Association, Ms.
CURRAN
was only the second traffic reporter in the city and the only
woman to hold such a post, prompting a Toronto Telegram reporter
to write: "Pat
CURRAN, the dulcet, if not downright sexy voice
you hear giving the morning traffic reports on such stations
as CKFH,
CHIC and
CHFI."
Ms. CURRAN gave her reports during rush hour in the early morning
and then in late afternoon -- both for about two hours at a time.
Her information came from the Canadian Automobile Association's
own patrol vehicles, the police, from emergency call boxes on
the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway and from tow-truck
drivers and the like.
Pat CURRAN was a graduate of the radio-and-television-arts course
at Toronto's Ryerson Polytechnic Institute who ached to be an
announcer. One week before graduating, she sent an application
to the Canadian Automobile Association and was hired almost immediately.
Making use of what her mother Norma
CURRAN called a "very nice,
modulated voice," she also enjoyed two five-minute spots per
week on radio shows by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster
Elwood GLOVER.
"I was in Toronto, the major market, and doing what I wanted,"
Pat CURRAN told her company publication Canadian Automobile Association
Today in 1995, the year she retired. "The part I enjoyed doing
most were the traffic reports. Women were frowned upon in radio,
so I think I broke the ground for the coming crowd."
In 1977, radio stations began using reporters aloft in helicopters
and that signalled the end of her traffic reports. Her role became
redundant.
"The Canadian Automobile Association's service was no longer
required when the helicopter era began," Norma
CURRAN said. "The
radio stations were feeding Pat's information to the helicopter
reporters. Pat was doing all the work and the helicopter reporters
weren't doing much and the Canadian Automobile Association felt
that wasn't right. The Canadian Automobile Association did these
traffic reports as a public service and decided it was time to
end it. The radio station at the Canadian Automobile Association
was taken out immediately."
But it wasn't the end of Ms.
CURRAN's tenure with the Canadian
Automobile Association. She became manager of consumer and public
information for its consumer and technical services division.
When media outlets wanted an opinion on traffic and other travel
issues, Ms.
CURRAN was the Canadian Automobile Association person
most often quoted.
Her specialty, however, was school patrols and vehicle and road
safety. She worked closely with Transport Canada to promote the
proper use of child-restraint systems and she implemented a wide
variety of safety programs for drivers and pedestrians. She campaigned
incessantly for seat-belt legislation and promoted the concept
of government-approved standards for seat belts in automobiles
manufactured in North America.
From 1969 until 1995, Ms.
CURRAN co-ordinated the Canadian Automobile
Association's training camp for school safety patrol officers
and pioneered the introduction of guards at street crossings
near schools.
"Pat originated all the safety patrols and crossing guards at
schools in conjunction with the police and the boards of education,"
said Sam CASS, for 39 years Toronto's commissioner of roads and
traffic. "She threw her weight around considerably. She persuaded
the provincial government to include traffic safety in their
policies on highways and roads.
"Way back then, traffic safety wasn't considered that important
by the police. To some police officers, traffic duty was a punishment.
But now it's a major part of policing."
Mr. CASS said Ms.
CURRAN even convinced the Ministry of Transportation
to widen the shoulders on the sides of Ontario roads and to move
poles and posts even farther back so that drivers would be less
likely to run into them. She also served on the Toronto Metro
Safety Council, the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals
and the Better Roads Coalition.
It would be safe to say that Pat
CURRAN was obsessed with safety.
After her death, Norman
CURRAN discovered the trunk of her daughter's
car held enough winter emergency equipment to supply an alpine
ski patrol. "I couldn't believe the stuff that was in there,"
Norma CURRAN said. "If she was in trouble in bad weather, she
was prepared. She practised what she preached."
Pat CURRAN was born March 29, 1939, in Hamilton, Ontario She
died of leukemia in Toronto on July 19, 2005. She leaves her
mother Norma. She never married and was predeceased by her father,
William, and brother, Robert.

WALKER and Rob
WALKER; sixteen great-nieces and
nephews; Friends the Dynna twins, and "The Orphans."Pat began
her career with Canadian Automobile Association in 1962, after
graduating from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute's Radio and Television
Arts Program. During her 33 years career with Canadian Automobile
Association, Pat was a well-respected authority on road safety,
winter driving techniques, and vehicle safety. Until 1977, Pat
did the traffic reports for many of Metro Toronto's top radio
stations and was dubbed "The Voice of Canadian Automobile Association"
she then went on to give countless radio and television interviews.
Pat served on many safety-related organizations: she was a Member
of the Metro Safety Council, The Canadian Association of Road
Safety Professionals, a Trustee and Chairperson of the Traffic
Safety Committee and Secretary and Vice Chairperson of The Better
Roads Coalition. Pat took the lead and actively campaigned for
seat belt legislation and promoted the concept of government
approved standards for seat belts in automobiles manufactured
in North America. She worked closely with Transport Canada to
promote the proper use of Child Restraint Systems. Pat implemented
a wide variety of safety programs for drivers and pedestrians.
In 1984, Pat responded to a request from the then Ministry of
Correctional Services to "Stop Impaired Probationers in Toronto"
and served on The Advisory Council for "People to Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere". Perhaps one of Pat's most notable contributions
to Canadian Automobile Association was her active involvement
in the School Safety Patrol Program. From 1969 and until her
retirement in 1995, she was the Chief Co-ordinator of the "School
Safety Patrol Officers' Training Camp" which is held annually
at Camp Samac in Oshawa. Each year, approximately 200 students
attend the camp and in her honour, the Patricia A. Curran School
Safety Patroller of the Year award is presented to one of approximately
21,000 active patrollers within the club territory. Each year,
Pat presented the award to the recipient of the Patroller of
the Year award. She will be greatly missed by all Canadian Automobile
Association associates who had the honour of knowing her and
by the students who enjoyed her presence during the camp. Thanks
to Dr. A. SCHUH and staff at Princess Margaret Hospital. A Celebration
of Pat's Life will be held Sunday, August 7, 2005 at The Burlington
Golf and Country Club, 422 North Shore Blvd. East, Burlington,
from 2-4 p.m. Donations to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation
or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the
family. (Arrangements entrusted to Smith's Funeral Home, Burlington,
