Accident Claims the Life of Flesherton Woman
Grey County O.P.P. reported details on a fatal motor vehicle
rollover on Highway 10 about 30 kilometres south of Owen Sound
that occurred late in the morning of November 22.
Bonnie NEIL, age 57, of Grey Highlands, (Flesherton) was operating
a white 1998 Lincoln north bound on Highway 10 at approximately
11: 30 a.m. There were snow squalls in that area at the time and
the roadway was dusted with snow and slush. As she left the hamlet
of Berkeley she failed to negotiate a curve, spun out of control
and left the roadway where the vehicle rolled down a steep embankment
that bordered the highway on the east side. As the car left the
roadway it clipped the starting point of a cable and post guide
rail system. A passing motorist noticed the single broken post
and reported it to police at approximately 12: 15 p.m. An officer
who responded to that report located the
NEIL vehicle overturned
at the bottom of the embankment
The Grey Highlands Fire Department assisted officers at the scene.
The roadway was closed for several hours as technical traffic
investigators went over the scene.
All traffic on the portion of Highway 10 affected was re-routed
around the scene from 50 Sideroad to 60 Sideroad via the East
Back Line.
Bonnie NEIL was well known in the Flesherton area having been
born and raised here, her parents being the late Harold and Velma
(FISHER)
BEST.
She▼ leaves to mourn her passing her husband, Barry,
and four sons, Jeffrey, Daniel Jason and Christopher (Chris,
a member of the Ottawa Senators hockey team), together with nine
grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister Geraldine (Milford)
LOUCKS of Owen Sound and a brother, Bob (Anne)
BEST of Flesherton.

Body found on Walpole identified as missing teen
By Patrick
MALONEY,
Free
Press
Reporter
Considering the pair had just had a fight, Lorelei
FISHER wasn't
too concerned when her teenage daughter didn't return to their
Walpole Island home for a few days last month.
But, as the days turned into weeks with still no word from 17-year-old
Katrina KIYOSHK,
FISHER became sure something was wrong.
Lambton Ontario Provincial Police yesterday confirmed her worst
fears, announcing a body found in a marshy part of the native
community is that of
KIYOSHK, a popular teenager her mom last
saw one month ago today.
"I was thinking she was with (her Friends) because she didn't
call," a grieving
FISHER said yesterday. "She would always call
home."
Local anglers found the badly decomposed body on the island's
west end last Thursday and contacted Walpole Island police, who
tapped Lambton Ontario Provincial Police -- and its resources
to lead the investigation.
Dental records were used to identify the body on Monday, police
said.
What killed
KIYOSHK is unclear, Ontario Provincial Police Const.
John REURINK said, and investigators aren't sure exactly what
kind of case they are facing.
"They're simply treating it as suspicious, they're not treating
it as a homicide,"
REURINK said. "We're not sure of the cause
of death."
Lambton
Ontario
Provincial Police say
KIYOSHK was reported missing
August 25, while her mother says an initial call was made to
Walpole police much earlier.
The first news release on the search for the missing teen came
out August 31,
REURINK said.
KIYOSHK, who had attended Wallaceburg District secondary school,
was described by her mother as an outgoing and fun-loving girl.
She▲▼ "liked everybody,"
FISHER said, adding the phone would ring
10 times a day for her.
"She▲▼ just liked to have fun,"
FISHER recalled. "She wasn't scared
to do anything. She was brave, eh? And bold."
Both Lambton Ontario Provincial Police and Walpole Island police
want to speak with anyone who saw
KIYOSHK since August 7, the
last day she was seen by her family.
Anyone with information can call Walpole police at (519) 627-6011,
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or Lambton Ontario Provincial
Police at 1-888-310-1122.

Alex FISHER
By Hayley FISHER,
Tuesday,
April▲ 19, 2005, Page A22
Father, grandfather, community leader. Born September 1, 1915,
in Toronto. Died September 25, 2004, of complications from Parkinson's
disease, aged 89.
It has been said that when you are born, you come into the world
crying while those around you smile, and if you've lived your
life right, you will die smiling while those around you cry.
Whether or not people were crying when he died (and many were),
no one can say that Alex
FISHER did not live his life "right."
Alex FISHER was born in Toronto to immigrant parents. He learned
the power of giving at an early age. When, during his childhood,
a man came to the door asking for money, Alex's mother gave the
man what little change she had without question. When Alex tried
to stop her, knowing how little their family of seven had during
the Depression, his mother said, "If a person comes to my door
asking for money, he must have less than I have -- you never
say 'No' to a person who asks." Alex carried this lesson with
him for the rest of his life.
His life of community service began when he served as the financial
chair of the March of Dimes on the "Mothers March" campaign.
The campaign succeeded enormously in raising both funds and public
understanding of individuals with disabilities.
Alex then went on to spearhead the Canada-Israel Children's Centres,
a group of community centres that aims to bring a sense of normalcy
into Israeli children's war-torn lives, as well as helps a number
of other groups. Alex's sense of giving knew no bounds -- he
gave help to anyone who asked, regardless of race or creed.
In 1946, shortly after the Second World War, Alex gave an accounting
job to a Japanese-Canadian man. Many called his action foolish
and the hiring process was extremely difficult. Still, Alex persisted.
When asked why he was going to so much trouble for someone who
had never helped him, Alex responded with "I'm Jewish. If I can't
understand his situation, who can?"
Alex also managed the Tri-Bell Amateur Basketball team at a time
when racism was the norm. Other teams would often object to playing
a squad made up of black, white, Christian and Jewish players
Alex would respond by threatening to withdraw the team and default
the game. Alex's tireless work in this field later led to his
induction into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame.
As important as the community was to Alex, his family was even
more so. Weekly Friday night family dinners were not optional
for any member of the family, nor were family vacations. When
his family grew to include spouses, each was welcomed into the
family with open arms. When grandchildren began to arrive, Alex
took all 12 of us, individually, on trips to New York. One goal
of these trips was to show the grandchildren how special we were
to him. The way that Alex played with the grandchildren while
the other grown-ups sat upstairs, the way he took us out for
meals and the way he constantly held an active interest in our
lives left no doubt in the minds of the grandchildren that we
were special to him. It is not often that a grandfather will
sit down with his 12-year-old granddaughter to discuss the Spice
Girls and the Backstreet Boys with her.
Alex FISHER was a tough man. After surgery to remove a brain
tumour, he would often greet visitors at the hospital elevator.
When the pains of old age began taking their toll on him, he
did not easily succumb but fought every step of the way.
He passed away having succeeded in business and in sports. More
importantly, he died having helped hundreds and having touched
the lives of even more. He left behind an incredible legacy.
Hayley is Alex
FISHER's granddaughter.

Died peacefully on Friday, October 7th, 2005 at Royal Victoria
Hospital in Barrie in his 83rd year. Born in Cardiff, Wales,
Bob was the youngest of six children. Bob soon would move to
England and became a proud member of Her Majesty's Royal Air
Force with posts in North Africa and the Middle East. Not long
after, Bob met and married his wife of 48 years Patricia
SEWELL.
Bob was a terrific salesman and traveled all over England selling
confectionery to local pubs.
In 1958 Bob and Pat moved to Canada and settled for a short time
in Montreal. After knowing many Friends and earning a proven
track record in sales, Bob took a job at a uniform and regalia
firm in Toronto and he and Pat moved to Mississauga. It was in
1974 with his supportive wife and two small children that Bob
took on his greatest challenge. He launched Fisher's Regalia
& Uniform Accoutrements Co. Ltd. His expertise in the dress uniform
field and his insistence on "looking out for the little guy"
turned his little business venture into a million dollar business
by 1985. Traveling all across Canada, Bob built cherished relationships
with many of our country's firefighters, police officers, paramedics
and armed forces until his retirement in 1989. Bob was a very
learned individual with a keen interest in politics and a good
military history book.
Bob was very much loved and will be truly missed by his loving
wife Patricia, his daughter Jillian and her husband Jeff
TULK,
his daughter Yvonne and her husband Mark
TULLOCH and mostly by
his grandchildren, Christopher, Stephanie, Sara, Allysha, and
Spencer. Special thanks to the nurses and doctors at Royal Victoria
Hospital and all the loving caregivers that have come in contact
with Bob over the past two years. Visitation will be at Steckley-Gooderham
Funeral Home, 201 Minet's Point Rd. in Barrie on Tuesday, October
11th at 7 p.m. and the funeral will be at the same location on
Wednesday, October 12th at 11a.m. In lieu of flowers a donation
in Bob's name to the Regional Cancer Center c/o the Royal Victoria
Hospital in Barrie would be greatly appreciated.

Week Of Remembrance: Ted
BEAMENT,
Brigadier And Lawyer (1908-2005)
Military strategist's final campaign was to be allowed to live
in the same nursing home as his wife of 63 years
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, November
11, 2005, Page S7
He helped plan the Normandy invasion and the liberation of France
and the Netherlands, but the final victory in a brilliant military
career came at the age of 95 as he battled to be reunited with
his wife.
Ted BEAMENT, a retired brigadier, was forced to live apart from
Brenda, his Scottish war bride.
His room was in an Ottawa veterans' hospital, while she lived
across town in another facility.
Their heartbreaking separation, detailed by the Ottawa Citizen
in an article published on Valentine's Day last year, won the
couple great sympathy. The
BEAMENTs celebrated their 63rd wedding
anniversary days later while still living at different addresses.
They were able to visit only three times a week, while difficulties
in hearing made telephone conversations frustrating.
"My mum is weepy and my dad is distressed," their daughter said
at the time.
Mrs. BEAMENT was on a waiting list to join her husband at the
Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre, a delay that the family
was told could last from six to 18 months.
Their plight led the War Amps of Canada to launch a national
campaign to discover and reunite veterans unwillingly separated
from their spouses.
After five months apart, the
BEAMENTs were reunited at the Perley
in March. They spent 15 precious weeks under the same roof before
Mrs. BEAMENT died of causes related to old age. She was 91.
Mr. BEAMENT, who survived his wife by 15 months, enjoyed success
in several arenas. He was a national champion as a figure skater,
a first-class lawyer named king's counsel, and a decorated military
strategist.
Family lore has it that Mr.
BEAMENT was conceived in the summer
of 1907 aboard a gondola afloat on the Grand Canal of Venice.
His parents may well have had romantic notions regarding transportation,
as they had met as members of the Bytown bicycle club.
Thomas Arthur
BEAMENT was a prominent barrister who, in 1904,
would be one of the 16 founding members of the Laurentian Club,
formed by those businessmen excluded from other men's clubs because
of their lack of social standing. Mr.
BEAMENT's wife, Edith Louise
BELFORD, had been orphaned at a young age and worked as typist
in the civil service. George Edwin
BEAMENT, known as Ted, was
the youngest of their four children.
Educated at Ottawa Normal School and Lisgar Collegiate, the young
man followed his father's demand that he attend Royal Military
College, graduating in 1929. The yearbook noted the left sleeve
of his cadet's uniform was not long enough to hold all his badges
of distinction.
A degree in mechanical engineering was achieved at the University
of Toronto two years later. He then attended Osgoode Hall, graduating
in 1934, being called to the bar the same year. He was an associate
in the family law firm of Beament and Beament.
It was as an engineering student that Mr.
BEAMENT teamed with
Elizabeth FISHER,
Mary▲▼
LITTLEJOHN and Hubert
SPROTT to win the
Canadian fours championship in figure skating at a meet at Winnipeg
in February, 1930.
Mr. BEAMENT put aside his legal career with the outbreak of war
in 1939. As commanding officer, he mobilized and led to England
the 2nd (Ottawa) Field Battery, the famed Bytown Gunners whose
members would see action at Dieppe and
on D-Day. He even borrowed
$2,000 from his father to outfit the men.
On Christmas Eve, 1940, he was a guest of a liaison officer for
the British artillery who brought the Canadian officer to the
family home in Oxford for a holiday meal. There, he met Brenda
Yvonne Mary
THOMS, a lithe, 27-year-old practitioner of the Dalcroze
method of eurythmics, which intensifies the experience of music
through movement and physical exertion. He proposed marriage
the next day. Her polite rebuff did not deter such a persistent
suitor. They married the following February, the bride wearing
a silk wedding dress tailored from ivory-coloured curtains.
Many years later, a granddaughter, Ariana
BRADFORD, questioned
the brevity of the courtship. "Well, there was a war on, you
know," Mr.
BEAMENT replied. Two children would be born before
the end of hostilities, neither, as far is known, conceived in
a gondola.
A succession of command and staff appointments provided Ted
BEAMENT
with a series of promotions and ever greater responsibilities
during the war. He was brigade major of the 1st Armoured Brigade
in 1941; lieutenant-colonel and commanding officer of the 6th
Canadian Field Regiment in 1942; general staff officer, grade
1, of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, also in 1942; and,
general staff officer, grade 1 (operations), of the First Canadian
Army in 1943.
On November 14, 1943, he was appointed colonel (later brigadier),
general staff, of the First Canadian Army. As such, he was intimately
involved in the planning of the D-Day invasion of Normandy on
June 6, 1944. He helped guide the liberation campaign through
northwest Europe, during which Canadian forces often faced fierce
resistance from German defenders.
In April, 1945, during the dying days of the Nazi regime, Mr.
BEAMENT was based in the Netherlands when the headquarters of
the First Canadian Army learned about a prison camp holding Polish
women just across the frontier. The 1st (Polish) Armoured Division
was ordered to free the inmates at Oberlangen. The camp was secured
on April 12, Mr.
BEAMENT's 37th birthday.
Back in England on September 27, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery
opened the Khaki University of Canada in the United Kingdom,
an army-operated school on the outskirts of northwest London
preparing servicemen for their demobilization. Mr.
BEAMENT served
as university president.
The king and queen visited the school the following year on the
day before the president's fifth wedding anniversary. The queen
was presented a bouquet of tulips by the president's young son.
Mr. BEAMENT was appointed an officer of the Order of the British
Empire in 1943. His other awards for wartime service included
a Croix de Guerre (avec Palme) from France and a Military Cross
from Czechoslovakia. Mr.
BEAMENT had assisted the Czechoslovak
Brigade in Britain, for which he was also made a member of the
Order of the White Lion. He was also mentioned in dispatches.
Returning to Canada in 1946, he rejoined the family law firm
with brother Warwick
BEAMENT, who had also been a brigadier with
the Canadian Army in Europe. The reception was not quite as welcoming
as he had imagined, as his father asked for repayment of the
$2,000 loan. Worse, Mr.
BEAMENT faced a large tax bill.
The tax appeal board rejected his position that he should not
be taxed as a Canadian resident even though he had been overseas
for more than five years. The storage of civilian clothes with
his father and the ownership of a bank account and safety-deposit
box, coupled with his intention to return to Canada, where taken
as prove of residence. He then lost an appeal to the Exchequer
Court in 1951.
Finally, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1952 that "the
appellant was physically absent from Canada" and should be taxed
accordingly.
BEAMENT v. the Minister of National Revenue benefited
many returning veterans and the Income Tax Act was subsequently
revised.
The family law firm became involved in one of the most sensational
cases in the immediate postwar period, as Warwick
BEAMENT acted
as defence counsel in a spy trial following the defection of
Soviet cipher clerk Igor
GOUZENKO.
Two years after his brother's death in 1966, Ted
BEAMENT moved
his practice to Beament, Green, Dust until retiring at 86, by
which time he had been made a life member of the Law Society
of Upper Canada. He served from 1961 to 1966 as a commissioner
for the National Capital Commission in Ottawa. His charitable
work included high posts on behalf of the Red Cross, the local
Young Men's-Young Women's Christian Association, and Ottawa's
Community Chest. He was on the board of governors of Carleton
University and was honorary governor of the Corps of Commissionaires.
Befitting his sterling war service, he served as honorary colonel
of the 30th Field Artillery Regiment, as the amalgamated Bytown
Gunners are now known.
Mr. BEAMENT was appointed a member of the Order of Canada in
the waning days of 1986. The honour was conferred for his ardent
support of charitable groups, most notably his 30 years of service
on behalf of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, for which he
was elected chancellor of the priory of Canada.
The successful campaign to reunite Mr.
BEAMENT with his wife
allowed him to be at her side as she breathed her last. Even
in mourning, the retired brigadier remained a stickler for detail,
ensuring the date of death was recorded as June 17, 2004, as
his wife had passed 15 minutes before midnight. He had held her
hand as she died.
Ted BEAMENT was born on April 12, 1908, in Ottawa. He died there
on September 28. He was 97. He leaves a son, Justin
BEAMENT,
of Down Saint Mary, Devon, England; a daughter, Meriel
BRADFORD,
of Old Chelsea, Quebec; five grandchildren and four great-grand_sons.
He was predeceased by his wife of 63 years, the former Brenda
THOMS, who died last year. He was also predeceased by a sister,
Ethel, and by brothers Warwick and Geoffrey.

3 teens killed in crash
By Gail SWAINSON,
Staff
Reporter
Huntsville -- Two familes are mourning the loss of their only
children after three teenagers -- two of them sisters -- died
when their car slid on black ice and smashed into another vehicle
on a cottage-country highway.
"These families lost their only children; it's unbelievably tragic,"
Huntsville
High
School principal Bruce
REAIN said yesterday.
Reain said all three girls excelled at school and were involved
in a wide range of activities, including soccer and other sports,
and the school choir.
Dorina HUBBERT, 19, and her 16-year-old sister Sabrina, along
with Stephanie
FISHER, an only child, died when their eastbound
2003 red Dodge Neon crossed the median on Highway 60 just before
noon Tuesday.
The vehicle hit a westbound Ford Explorer driven by William
BEDARD,
64. BEDARD and his 59-year-old wife
Janis, both from Dwight,
were treated and released at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital.
Ontario
Provincial
Police Const. Harry
RAWLUK said an initial
investigation showed that speed was likely a factor in the crash.
"Witnesses: saw the Neon fishtail and enter the westbound lane,"
RAWLUK said yesterday from a wrecking yard where the two vehicles
were towed.
RAWLUK said the
HUBBERT girls' father was notified as he was
boarding a flight to Germany Tuesday afternoon. A master baker
who toured the world as a consultant, Heinz
HUBBERT had recently
sold Henrietta Fine Bakery in Dwight, a popular destination for
cottagers.
The HUBBERT sisters worked at the bakery during the summer, current
owner Geoffrey
HARRISS said.

in Fenwick, Ontario, having moved to Wellandport, Ontario at
that time. Her career was in the world of cosmetics and beauty

Curtis McLAREN, 17: Love of life was magic
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
There might be some who would say there was no magic in Curtis
McLAREN's young life. His parents knew within two weeks of their
third and youngest child's birth that he had heart problems of
the sort that necessitated four operations in his first three
years of life -- but all of them palliative, none of them healing,
none of them ever presented as a cure.
He was born without a left ventricle, the chamber that works
as the heart's main pump.
"We always knew it was non-fixable," said his father Stephen
McLAREN, a family physician with a practice in the Markham subdivision
of Cornell, where the family lives. "It's remarkable he was able
to get as far as he did."
He was just 17 when he died October 17.
There was no cure for Curtis; there was never a cure. When he
was 10 years old, sitting in his new sweater on Christmas morning
reading the Guinness Book of Records he'd just received as a
present, he suffered a massive stroke that left him unable to
walk, talk or even sit up.
Its aftermath was the only time his family had ever seen him
sad. They had wheeled him down to the public atrium at Sick Kids
so he could feel the bustle and flow of the real world again.
But instead of beaming at passers-by, as he always had, he was
quiet and still.
"It was palpable," said Stephen. "He was upset and sad."
"People were looking at him," said his mother Patti.
He was given a pacemaker; otherwise he wasn't going to survive.
And then Curtis got so excited about that operation because he
thought he'd be getting fixed, finally.
Up until his stroke, he'd been a kid who was up for anything
his older sister and brother, Laura and Rob, did. The family
lived on Main St. in Unionville then and Curtis played on the
Unionville T-Ball and baseball teams. He banged on his father's
drums. He used to ride his bike outside pretending he was his
hero Arnold Schwarzenegger on a motorcycle.
He was a kid with a huge grin, happy every single day, still
at the age when he would morph in his mind into his action heroes
living out grand adventures -- when he had to teach himself how
to walk and talk again.
After six months as a day patient at the Bloorview MacMillan
centre -- he refused to stay there; his parents drove him and
picked him up every day -- he was walking, had regained his speech
and the use of his left hand. "You could see stubbornness in
his eyes as an infant," his father remarked.
He once told his mother that after his stroke he thought about
his mortality every day, but no one would ever have known that.
To the world and to his own tight-knit family, he was a focused,
funny, sunny kid.
So the same weekend he came home from rehab, he got on his bike
again. His father had to hook his hands to the handlebars. He
rode up and down the street and then put it away. Forever. If
it was the end of childhood, it was also the beginning of Curtis'
great love. He discovered cards -- soon he was able to cut, shuffle
and deal with one hand. Then it was card tricks, complicated
ones, involving astonishing sleight-of-hand his parents could
never work out, that wowed his school Friends.
He always had a deck of cards with him -- in his knapsack, pockets,
his mother's car.
At lunch at Markville Secondary School, a group would always
gather whenever he'd practise his tricks. He wasn't a showman
or a showoff; he used his cards to engage people.
"He was always laughing; his laugh was infectious. When he was
in my class and he was laughing, people wouldn't stare, they
wanted to go to him because he just overflowed with happiness
and joy," said Brian Fisher, who was Curtis' homeroom teacher
in Grades 7 and 8 at Unionville Public School.
But recently he had started slowing down.
Just this past September, doctors at the Hospital for Sick Children
sat him down and said to him: Here's your future. Your heart
is failing. You can carry on as you are now, maxed out on all
the meds the doctors can think of giving you, yet losing energy
despite popping seven pills each and every day.
Or you can try for a heart transplant that might not work. No
guarantees.
That night he sat in the kitchen with his parents and cried for
only the second time in his life, they believe. Then he got up,
went to his room and turned up the volume on a Jimi Hendrix CD
("Hendrix was his thing this summer," his father said), and when
he came back down, sat in front of the television and watched
The Family Guy.
"He was laughing and chuckling away at the show," said Stephen,
"and went to bed happy."
Three days later he emailed his cardiologist: "Let's go."
One week before his scheduled date of October 24 to start the
tests to see if he qualified for a transplant, Curtis and a group
from his Grade 12 Computer Technology class were out shooting
a movie for a project.
It was his favourite class; he was planning to study digital
media arts.
They were shooting a mock news item -- a robbery at a bus stop
and Curtis played one of the witnesses: in the bus shelter.
On his way back from the shoot, he collapsed and died instantly.
In the teen world of text messaging, word of Curtis' death spread
instantly.
His▲ former teacher, Brian
FISHER, had become a family friend
and decided he should go to Markville high school to try to comfort
many of Curtis' Friends.
But students from the other three area high schools also showed
up. FISHER said he talked with 150 distraught teens who were
worrying and sad about not saying goodbye to Curtis. There was
a bristol board card to sign. But everybody always remembered
Curtis with his card tricks.
And that is how the idea was born. They would say their goodbyes
they could tell Curtis what he meant to them with playing cards.
Within 12 hours, the students had been to every high school,
distributed the cards to anyone who wanted to write something
to Curtis, collected them, put them back in their packages and
returned them to
FISHER.
"They▲ collected three full decks," said
FISHER, who presented
them to the
McLAREN family.
They tucked them unread into the coffin with Curtis. At the funeral
home, others placed more playing cards with messages on them
into the open coffin. There were cards by his side; Curtis was
practically covered with cards.
And someone, at some point, had tucked an ace up his sleeve.
