GRAHAM credited with fishing group's growth
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter
The man credited with transforming the Ontario Commercial Fisheries Association from a kitchen-table, volunteer organization into a $1 million-a-year operation, has died after a battle with cancer. Robert GRAHAM, 60, made his mark at the association, in civic politics, in the food service industry and as president of the Blenheim Chamber of Commerce and Blenheim Rotary club.
"He was a visionary, a man who could initiate and accomplish things," said Dennis CARTIER, secretary-treasurer of the association.
The life and achievements of the long-time Erie Beach resident were celebrated at a visitation at J.L. Ford Funeral Home on January 14 and a funeral mass at Saint Mary's Church in Blenheim the following day.
The fisheries association was a volunteer group with only one part-time employee paid through membership fees from 1945 until 1990, when GRAHAM became the sole employee, said CARTIER.
At the time, it had an annual budget of $50,000, he said.
Today, the association employs 13 part-time and seven full-time people at its Blenheim headquarters and has an annual operating budget of about $1 million, said Cartier. "It was all because of Rob's dreams and drive."
"Rob was able to procure a number of government contracts," especially through Ontario's Natural Resources Ministry, said CARTIER.
The association now conducts an annual assessment of the Lake Erie fishery through an indexing program at 176 sites because of ground work laid by GRAHAM, said CARTIER.
"It's a major component of tracking the fish population by type, sex, weight, age and other factors," he said.
GRAHAM wasn't a fisher or particularly knowledgeable about the fisheries before he was hired, said CARTIER.
A graduate of Ryerson University, GRAHAM was trained in the hospitality industry and managed large institutional food services before starting his own business, said CARTIER.
"He had many successes in that business, including setting up the food services for Wheels Motor Inn (in Chatham)."
Reeve of Erie Beach from 1977 to 1988, GRAHAM also served on Kent County council.
He was instrumental in bringing water service and underground wiring to Erie Beach and coach lights to the streets, said CARTIER.
GRAHAM also sat on the St. Clair Parkway Commission and chaired the Canadian advisors to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
"Rob was a guy who could bring coalitions of people together in a common cause," said London lawyer David NASH, a friend, legal adviser and eulogist.
"He could resolve touchy internal issues and get people to move on. He was a tough negotiator in a board room, but friendly outside. He put people at ease because he was so genuine."
His wife Barbara says, "He was a wonderful husband and father. Rob loved people and found the best in them. He made everybody feel important because he was always interested in them, their families and what they were doing."

Police probe biker's death
By Randy RICHMOND and Jane SIMS, Free Press Reporters
A well-known member of the Hells Angels in London and a constant thorn in the side of police has died, apparently hanged in a shed at his Melbourne home. Marty ZAGER, 39, was found dead early Saturday morning in an outbuilding at the south end of his property on Melbourne Road.
ZAGER was "a dominant personality in the London area as far as the Hells Angels," Det. Staff Sgt. Scott Mills of the provincial Ontario Provincial Police biker enforcement unit said yesterday.
"He's been a person of interest of the biker enforcement unit for years."
Police would not confirm the details of ZAGER's death yesterday, but several sources said he died from hanging.
Middlesex Ontario Provincial▼ Police Const. Doug GRAHAM said police are investigating ZAGER's sudden death.
A family member found him before calling 911 at 12: 08 a.m. Saturday, police said.
An autopsy was ordered.
ZAGER had helped run the Beef Baron strip club in London, then owned several body-rub parlours in the area.
After brushes with the law and city council over the body rub parlours, ZAGER left that business and focused on his tattoo parlours, Hardcore Tattoos and Piercings, in London and Port Stanley.
ZAGER joined the Hells Angels a few years ago, rising in the ranks as the local club struggled to exist. He was apparently a good friend to London president Bill MILLER and some sources suggest ZAGER ran the club at times.
Meanwhile, he maintained a sprawling family home shared with his wife, Veronica, three children, several dogs, cats and an iguana.
"We're just like everybody else," Veronica ZAGER told The Free Press two years ago.
Police accused the two of laundering millions of dollars from their businesses to the Hells Angels.
"We wish somebody would tell me where it is so we could at least enjoy it," Veronica ZAGER said at the time.
She could not be reached for comment yesterday.
The door to the two-storey, brown brick home was answered by a friend who said little except that the family was hurting.
An employee at Hard Core Tattoo on Richmond Street would say only the business would continue.
Hells Angels spokesperson Donny PETERSON in Toronto wouldn't comment on ZAGER's death and no one answered the door at the London clubhouse.
ZAGER was never one to shy away from the public eye.
He and his wife filed a $3-million lawsuit against London, provincial and federal police in 2003, claiming police negligence, malicious prosecution and the breach of their Charter rights over drug and conspiracy charges that were eventually withdrawn.
ZAGER also refused to stop wearing his vest emblazoned with the Hells Angels emblem, despite the legal troubles it brought him.
Neighbours on Melbourne Road described ZAGER yesterday as a pleasant, helpful man.
"He was one of the best neighbours I ever had," said Fred ALBERT, who lived across from ZAGER.
"Before, we used to have break-ins here. When he moved in, they just stopped."
ZAGER often would come over and plow out ALBERT's lane without being asked and without asking for anything in return, he said.
Another neighbour said ZAGER often had parties with bikers at his house, but nothing bad ever happened.
"I am very surprised," John ALBERT said.
"Nothing ever happened there."

In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, who passed away suddenly 4 years ago today.
There weren't enough words to tell you I love you,
Not enough ways to show you I care,
Not enough laughter and good times to wish you,
Not enough wonderful moments to share...
A million bright mornings would not be too many,
Long evenings forever would still be too few,
For I still need you and love you so much that it seems,
There weren't enough days in a lifetime with you.
Sadly missed and always remembered by your best friend, companion and husband, Harry and Family.

In loving memory of a great father, grandfather and friend, Leslie Gordon GRAHAM.

PRITCHARD, David -- Dispatch
By Jordan PRESS, Saturday, March 26, 2005, Page M4
Radio listeners never knew what they were going to hear when David PRITCHARD took to the Disk Jockey booth. One night he piped up in the middle of a pop song and told listeners, "later we'll chop some chives with Charles Ives." Some nights he would look at whoever was at the station with him and begin one of his 10-minute esoteric conversations. "Uh... uh... John," he would start, according to fellow disc-jockey John DONABIE, who met Mr. PRITCHARD in the 1970s when the two were at CHUM-FM. 'I notice you have a staple in your arm. Are you for sale?'
"He would go so deep into somewhere, and it would all make sense," says Mr. DONABIE, now the weekend morning man at CFRB.
Mr. PRITCHARD was a musician and an artist, but is best remembered as an influential local radio host from the end of the era when Disk Jockeys -- not corporate programmers -- picked the play lists. He died of cancer on February 27 at age 60.
"Everyone believed that no one could be that creative... without doing something," Mr. DONABIE says, referring to the drugs that fuelled the period. But "David didn't even smoke cigarettes."
Mr. PRITCHARD was born on October 18, 1944, in London, England, and moved with his family to North York in 1952. As a teenager, he started his own pirate radio station he called CBIG by rigging up a microphone and an antenna to broadcast across his Willowdale neighbourhood.
He rose to prominence in 1968 when he became the late-night man at CHUM, where it wasn't unheard of him to broadcast classical, jazz and electronic records simultaneously on the station's three turntables, Mr. DONABIE says.
He would also play his own experimental electronic compositions. "But he would always say a listener named Fred had sent in some new music," says Jim BAUER, who worked with Mr. PRITCHARD at CHUM. " People listening on the air had no idea it was David."
In 1969, he married Libby GRAHAM and they had two children, Christian, now 32, and Fraser, now 29.
Shortly after Fraser was born, Mr. PRITCHARD became the first program director for then-fledgling CFNY in 1977. He continued to make music, becoming the first North American to be signed by Island Records, the same label as U2 and Bob Marley. He was also a visual artist, creating many collages and paintings that now hang on the walls of his Friends' homes.
While he had opportunities to take more lucrative jobs, he was always more interested in art than money, his son Christian says.

Wilfred BIGELOW, Heart Surgeon: 1913-2005
Canadian doctor who was the first person to look inside a beating, human heart developed the pacemaker and pioneered the use of hypothermia in heart surgery
By Ron CSILLAG, Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, March 30, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- The frigid Canadian winter of 1941, a Toronto hospital and a 28-year-old surgical intern who had just helped amputate a man's frostbitten fingers. Wilfred (Bill) BIGELOW's curiosity was piqued: How and why did extreme cold destroy human tissue?
The Manitoba-born University of Toronto graduate searched the available medical literature and, surprisingly in a country where winters are cold enough to kill, found little about frostbite.
Spurred by his surgery professor's challenge, Dr. BIGELOW finally found sources who knew something about frostbite. He learned that cold alone doesn't cause gangrene. Rather, tissue dies when blood stops moving, and people can tolerate extreme cold without damage as long as some blood continues to course through their veins.
But the Second World War intervened, and Dr. BIGELOW was soon off to serve as a front-line surgeon with the Canadian army in England and northwest Europe. On his return, he spent a year studying in Maryland at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, where pioneer heart operations on "blue babies" born with defective hearts were being performed, with mixed results. This prompted Dr. BIGELOW, with his prewar studies in localized hypothermia, to investigate whether it might be possible, as he would later write, to cool "the whole body, reduce the oxygen requirements, interrupt the circulation, and open the heart." If cold itself is not harmful to flesh and organs, he reasoned, then it would be safe to slow circulation to a near standstill so that surgeons could operate on nearly empty blood vessels.
Back at Toronto General Hospital in 1947, he and a small team obtained a room in the basement of the Banting Institute to carry on the research. Approval for the project had been granted in an atmosphere of some skepticism. At the time, a drop in body temperature was considered dangerous, if not lethal. As a first step, the team discovered that lowering the temperature of an extremity reduced its metabolism and oxygen requirements.
Then, in 1949, they made their first open-heart attempt. A dog was immersed in cold water inside a cut-down oil drum, and the temperature of its body lowered to 20 degrees. The animal's heart was pink and healthy, but it wasn't beating and its circulation was stopped for 15 minutes. Dr. BIGELOW tapped the heart tentatively with an electrical probe. All four chambers responded with one convulsive throb. He tapped it again. Another beat. The organ then continued beating without blood -- a first -- and then with blood. The dog was rewarmed and survived.
The episode led him to think that a device that could deliver a gentle jolt of some sort, without damaging the muscle, would enhance the hypothermia experiments.
That's how Dr. BIGELOW became known as one of the world's leading pioneers in the use of hypothermia in heart surgery and in the development of the pacemaker, which he co-invented with fellow Canadian cardiovascular superstar John Carter CALLAGHAN, and an electrical engineer, Jack HOPPS, found through the National Research Council in Ottawa.
In 1950, Dr. BIGELOW was the first person to look inside a living, beating human heart. He was astonished. The organ bore little resemblance to the diagrams and descriptions of his medical school lectures. "We knew there would be a valve flapping back and forth, but we weren't prepared for the dynamic ring that contracts forcefully in co-ordination with the valve. And the valve itself was far different from what we expected," he told journalist June CALLWOOD in 1985.
Dr. BIGELOW and Dr. CALLAGHAN electrified their colleagues when they presented their findings in 1950 at a meeting in Denver of the American Surgical Association. "There was no discussion," Dr. BIGELOW recalled years later. "It was one of the very few basic medical discoveries where no one stood up to say they'd done something similar."
Their presentation stimulated worldwide research and, two years later, a successful operation using hypothermia was performed in the United States. After this, "a steady stream of surgeons and scientists from around the world came to see our first Canadian open-heart surgery and to visit our Banting and Best Institute laboratory," Dr. BIGELOW reported, including 19 of Japan's top heart surgeons.
The first thing the Japanese doctors wanted to see was the old 25-gallon oil drum sawed in two that had served as the crucible for the canine experiment.
The next thing the visitors wanted to see was the world's first heart pacer -- a table-top contraption that weighed about 15 pounds and measured a foot long and several inches wide. The pacer, too, was co-developed by Dr. BIGELOW -- to stimulate the hearts of his experimental dogs when they were slowed down by the cooling.
By 1959, a Swedish doctor had used transistor circuitry and successfully implanted a pacemaker the size of a hockey puck beneath a patient's skin. But, for years, pacemakers were known everywhere as "Toronto machines."
(The invention of a lithium battery by a Buffalo electrical engineer in 1972 launched the pacemaker as a modern medical and technical miracle for countless thousands of people around the world. Today's pacemakers measure about four centimetres by three centimetres by half-a-centimetre thick and can be implanted in 30 minutes.)
About 1960, the two prevalent techniques of the day -- operations using heart-lung pumps and hypothermia -- were combined and used by surgeons around the world on a daily basis. In 1967, both methods were used by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard, who performed the world's first transplant.
Today, ultra-cold chemical solutions are injected into the coronary arteries during surgery to protect the heart further.
Dr. BIGELOW pioneered several other cardiac surgical procedures and, in 1956, established the first complete three-year to four-year training program for cardiac surgeons. He headed the renowned cardiovascular surgical team at Toronto General Hospital for 20 years. He received two dozen major honours and awards, including the Order of Canada in 1981, and was named to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 1997. He authored two books, Cold Hearts and Mysterious Heparin, and wrote more than 100 medical papers.
A self-effacing man, Dr. BIGELOW insisted that some of his early experiments failed dismally. For instance, he spent 10 years trying to discover how groundhogs were able to hibernate, but gained little except a deep respect for groundhogs. He called the invention of the pacemaker a "spinoff" from the hypothermia experiments.
All the same, he was a walking, talking hero to young Canadian doctors. To Anthony GRAHAM, now a cardiologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, Bill BIGELOW was always a giant among surgeons. In the early 1970s, Dr. BIGELOW made it his business to quietly persuade potential recruits to sign on to the surgical staff at Toronto General Hospital and had invited Dr. GRAHAM, who had recently returned from studying in California, to drop by his office. The visit turned out to be a tour of Dr. BIGELOW's "collection" that he had laid out in hopes of sparking interest in young doctors.
"He had built a little museum in his office that was full of the gadgets he had made over the years," said Dr. GRAHAM. There,▲▼ all lined up and neatly presented, were pacemakers in various stages of developments, early dilators and other devices that had played their part in medical history. "All of it was really neat to see. As a Canadian, he made a staggering contribution to his field. The things we see as commonplace today were revolutionary then."
As it turned out, Dr. GRAHAM did not join Dr. BIGELOW's staff, but the two men came to know each other through their involvement in the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. "He was a gentle, caring man," said Dr. GRAHAM. " Not at all like the surgical personality we often think of as stereotypical."
For his part, Dr. BIGELOW was aware of a larger picture that lay beyond the day-to-day demands of a busy surgeon. "The moral responsibility of introducing a new operation is real," he wrote in Cold Hearts, the medical history of his work that was published in 1984. "I sometimes look back with a shudder. Working beyond the accepted limits of conventional medicine with few guidelines and no one to share responsibility or offer counsel was a very lonely feeling."
Wilfred Gordon BIGELOW was born in Brandon, Manitoba, on June 18, 1913. He died in Toronto on March 27, 2005, at 91. He leaves a daughter and three sons. He was predeceased by his wife, Ruth.
A memorial service is scheduled for April 23 at 2 p.m. at Toronto's Rosedale United Church.

I Remember -- Bill CAMERON
By Anna GRAHAM, Wednesday, April 27, 2005, Page S7
Toronto -- Anna GRAHAM of Toronto writes about Bill CAMERON, whose obituary appeared on March 14
I met Bill CAMERON in early 2002 at Gran Festa -- a busy, plant-filled Italian restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, where I played classical guitar on Saturday nights during my last few years there. He approached me as I was finishing a piece and glanced at the pile of compact disks on the small table where I was set up beside a display of wine.
"May I buy a compact disk?"
"Of course. But, you're Bill CAMERON!"
He smiled. "You got it."
I wanted to ask why he had given up television, but instead told him how much I had enjoyed watching his newscasts and hearing him from time to time on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio's Sunday Morning. Then he asked about me.
We chatted for a few minutes. Before returning to his table he bought a compact disk and said, "I'm hosting Sunday morning this week. If I can, I'll play some of your compact disk," he turned it over in his hand. His parting words were emphatic: "Don't stop playing."
Looking back, I feel inspired by his enthusiasm for a working Canadian artist. Now a high school teacher, I also find time to practise and perform. Bill CAMERON's three small words keep me going.

Peacefully at Ian Anderson House on April 27, 2005, at the age of 71, after a brief struggle with cancer. Predeceased by his loving wife Audrey, Colin will be greatly missed by daughter Gillian and her partner Heather, niece Penny (Tony) and nephew Tim (Ethne) and their families. Colin is also survived by daughter Susan (Mark) and her family. Colin will be sadly missed by his Friends at the Oakville Club; a group of fellows who's generosity of spirit is always evident and being exercised in one way or another in helping their Friends and community.
Colin had a quick laugh and gregarious nature that will be missed by all those who had the opportunity to share his company. Presented with many challenges in life, Colin demonstrated to all those around him how to adapt and carry on. Having suffered a career-ending stroke in 1979, he enjoyed his extended retirement by sculpting, painting, travelling, and enjoying summers at Bona Vista on Lake of Bays.
Many thanks to Dr. Martha GRAHAM and the team at Oakville Health Centre for their care and guidance. Thanks also to all the folks at Ian Anderson House; your care and dedication is inspiring and remarkable.
A memorial service will be held at the Ward Funeral Home in Oakville (109 Reynolds St.) on Monday, May 2, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please give generously to Ian Anderson House.

Robert James GRAHAM
By Dennis CLARKE, Wednesday, May 4, 2005, Page A26
Son, brother, husband, father, musician, public-spirited citizen. Born November 8, 1944, in Chatham, Ontario Died January 12, of complications from lung cancer, aged 60.
Rob GRAHAM was iconic of those who choose small towns and rural areas in which to live and work, serve family and Friends, pursue occupations and avocations, contribute to community and country. He would reject the term "iconic" as silly and pretentious, but ever open to entertain different points of view, to ponder, discuss and debate -- he could likely be brought to accept being representative of such folks.
Rob had a gift for making Friends, and bridging differences (often major differences in his work as a negotiator and facilitator), becoming known and respected throughout the Great Lakes basin as a peacemaker. His ability to create harmony, to orchestrate successful outcomes by helping adversaries find common ground, may have emerged from his musicianship as a pianist, organist, bassist, composer, and band member.
In 1974 Rob and his wife Barbara moved from Ottawa to a cozy Erie Beach lakefront cottage. Rob loved sharing the spectacular view with family and Friends. Summers, he relished the view, and the glory of Barb's hundreds of flowering plants, while riding his mower; winters, from the warmth of the sunroom.
Rob, seeing small town and rural Canada lose the enterprise and energy of its young people to cities (typified by their children, Tim and Allison, moving to London), believed those who stay help keep Canada strong.
This suited his job, started in 1990, as executive director of the Ontario Commercial Fisheries' Association, representing those in business to harvest, process, package and distribute fish, activity concentrated in small communities around the Ontario shores of lakes Erie, Huron, Superior and Ontario.
Rob worked with association members and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the industry regulator, to create a partnership that transcended a succession of provincial governments. Having begun as its sole employee, he is credited with transforming the Ontario Commercial Fisheries' Association from a kitchen-table, volunteer amalgam to an agency with 13 full-time and seven part-time staff, including business, conservation and science professionals. It operated from an information-technology rich headquarters he established in his hometown of Blenheim, south of Chatham, a facility he would open for community groups to meet after-hours, giving up his personal time to be there.
Rob often said he never caught a fish, but valued commercial fishery workers' extraordinarily arduous jobs, done so he and others could enjoy eating fish.
A confessed media junkie, Rob's work days began with a fix of multi-media news and editorial opinion, enlivened locally by news and views exchanged among suppliers, contractors, farmers, grain dealers, lawyers, municipal workers, politicians and truckers over coffee at the Sunrise Café, across the street from the Ontario Commercial Fisheries' Association.
His twinkling eyes, wide smile, rich baritone, quick wit, incisive intellect and absolute integrity were familiar to all who knew him through his job or his interest in politics and public service.
From a family long committed to the Progressive Conservative Party provincially and nationally, and proud to be at the bluest end of the spectrum, Rob would nonetheless accept being called a "big tent P.C.", believing the party was at its best when the ideological spectrum was fully red to blue.
Rob will be remembered for his love of family, Friends, small town life; his warmth, his integrity.
Dennis CLARKE is Rob's friend.

GRAHAM, Candis▲ (1949-2005)
Surrounded by loved ones the evening of November 22 Candis passed away peacefully. Her gentle spirit and innocent enthusiasm will be long remembered. Born on Valentine's Day in Kincardine on the edge of Lake Huron, she lived most of her life in Ottawa, but for the past five years resided in Victoria, British Columbia. Up with the birds, she loved to begin her days with Taoist Tai Chi alone in her living room followed by a stroll down the streets of her Fernwood neighbourhood. Then she'd sit in front of her computer or pick up her fountain pen and begin work-Candis was passionate for the written word. A member of The Writers' Union of Canada, her short stories, essays, and poems have been published in various anthologies and periodicals including: Canadian Woman Studies, Common Lives/Lesbian Lives, Fireweed, and Grain. Between 1988 and 1990 she was a contributing editor for (f.) Lip, a national newsletter of innovative feminist writing based in Vancouver. In 1990 she published the book Tea for Thirteen, and in 1993 another entitled Imperfect Moments. Then, starting in 1995, Candis developed a series of workshops for the written word. Whether teaching prose or poetry, she had a charm and a humble wisdom that inspired and guided her students. Over the last few years of her life Candis used her part time to create InnerSea, a unique greeting card company that utilized word collage and poetry infused with a sense of Spirit and play. She is pre-deceased by her parents Margaret and Kenneth GRAHAM and survived by her partner and friend Pat McKENNA and her sisters Andrea GRAHAM and Kendra GRAHAM- SEDORE. A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday December 11 at 3: 00 p.m. in the Church of Truth, 111 Superior Street, Victoria, British Columbia.

KRITZWISER, Kay -- I Remember
By Lyman POTTS, Saturday, December 10, 2005 Page, S9
Burlington, Ontario, -- Former broadcaster Lyman POTTS of Burlington, Ontario, writes about Kay KRITZWISER, whose obituary appeared yesterday.
Six years younger than Kay, I was one of the avid readers of the Torchbearers Magazine. So was my wife-to-be, Micky BOLE, who contributed poetry and was encouraged by Kay and became a "torchbearer." (There were "torchbearers" from as far away as Australia.) In my teens, while haunting the halls, press room, editorial room and radio station in the Regina Leader-Post building, I got to know Kay and her husband, Harold. When I was moved to the Toronto head office of Standard Broadcasting in 1963, after launching the Canadian Talent Library the previous year, Kay gave me a nice review in The Globe and Mail.
Kay was a long-time friend of Nancy (GRAHAM) CALDWELL -- another Regina girl -- who married Spence CALDWELL, founder of the CTV television network. When he sold CTV to the participating stations, Spence and Nancy retired to a farm near Bolton, Ontario One night, Kay was coming to join the CALDWELLs for dinner. Spence picked her up at a bus stop near the farm. On their way to the farm, a tractor-trailer pulled out from a coffee shop and Spence crashed into it. Spence was killed, but Kay survived. Kay and Nancy remained close and often travelled together.
I lost track of Kay when Nancy went to live with a relative in Edmonton and died there. My wife and I often wondered what had become of Kay, and we are saddened to hear of her passing.
A memorial service for Kay KRITZWISER will be held at 2 p.m. on December 19 at The Arts and Letters Club, 14 Elm Street, Toronto.

FONTAINE, Marjorie " Mona" Jessie (READ)
Entered into rest at the Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay on Thursday, July 7, 2005. Mona READ was in her 86th year. Nicknamed Mona, from a character in a 1970's deodorant commercial, she was born in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Her father was a Mountie who was still actually mounted. After living through the Dirty Thirties on the prairies, the family returned to England prior to World War 2, where she became a Registered Nurse and later served in the Army Nursing Corps in North Africa, India and Italy. Not bad for a gal from Maple Creek. After the war, she continued her nursing career at a veterans' hospital in Vancouver. There, she met her husband-to-be, Gerry, a patient who had been injured in the Korean War. They married, had one child and shared life together for almost fifty years. She continued her nursing career and eventually was registered in three provinces. Concentrating on long term care, she served as Director of Nursing at nursing homes in Calgary and Union Villa and Participation House (for physically challenged young people) in the Toronto area. After retirement, she and her husband settled in the Lindsay, Ontario area where they busied themselves with curling, golf, lawn bowling and travel. She was a curious person with a life long love of reading and learning who wanted to understand everything about everything. Returning from a vacation, she would faithfully read two or three weeks of newspapers despite the fact that the news was stale. As well, she was an adventurous person who liked new experiences. These included waterskiing in her fifties, sailing and cross country skiing in her sixties, golf and playing the ukulele in her seventies and trying to run Extendicare-Kawartha Lakes in her eighties. She had a strong sense of duty and responsibility, of pulling one's own weight and not being a burden on other people. In her last years, she worried that she was not doing her fair share of the work and was letting her fellow nurses at Extendicare-Kawartha Lakes down. She loved jokes (especially off colour ones) and collected punch lines for which she could not remember the joke. Cooking was not a strength. Rumour has it that she smoked out the house once by heating a frozen pizza while it still was on its cardboard tray! And she worried about everything, especially about not having anything to worry about. But her best quality was her love of people. She enjoyed talking to anyone about anything since this was another opportunity to learn. She was an unconventional woman who did things her way and was a liberated woman before the term had been invented. Survived by her son Michael and his wife Caroline▲ GRAHAM of Toronto and her sister Dorothy WOOD of Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Predeceased by her husband Gerry and her brothers Buster of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and Paddy of Wagga Wagga, Australia. Visitation at the Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street, Lindsay (705-328-2721) on Saturday August 6th from 12: 00 p.m. until time of memorial service in the chapel at 1: 30 p.m. Interment of cremated remains at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Women's Resource Centre of Lindsay.

Dr. Douglas SALMON, 81: Surgeon, scholar
Dr. Douglas SALMON known for his courage, humility, compassion
Fought for the rights of blacks to see jazz greats at Palais Royale
By Philip MASCOLL, Staff Reporter
Dr. John Douglas Graham Roy SALMON was a kind and wonderful person who had to struggle for everything he achieved, his family and Friends say.
SALMON, who died last Wednesday at age 81, wasn't only the first black surgeon in Canada. He was an accomplished pianist, scholar, athlete and sculptor as well.
"From the moment I met him, I knew he was a person I could truly respect, and I never varied from thinking that way," Beverley (Bev) SALMON, his wife and former Metro Toronto and North York councillor said of her partner for 49 years.
"He was always warm and loving to all the family. He had a way of reaching out to people... he was loved by patients and colleagues alike. He was truly a role model and inspiration."
His lifelong friend, lawyer Leonard BRAITHWAITE, Canada's first black member of provincial parliament, called SALMON "kind and capable.
"This great land of ours is better because of him," BRAITHWAITE said of the man he grew up with near Kensington Market.
BRAITHWAITE said that in those days, before World War 2, black families were few and far between in Toronto.
SALMON's life was a story of triumph over adversity.
Born December 13, 1923, in Toronto to Jamaican immigrants Eugenie, a Black Cross (the Marcus Garvey-originated medical corps) nurse, and Robert, a veteran of the Boer War, Douglas was the youngest of six children.
They became orphaned during the Great Depression when Douglas was 6. Their mother's sister, Margaret BROWN (Aunt Mag,) a childless widow in her 50s, stepped in to raise them.
SALMON was independent and strong-willed even as a child. His late sister, Stevella, used to recall that even from a very young age, her baby brother was always insistent that "I'm going to be a docta!"
Young Douglas SALMON would let nothing stand in his way, according to the family history.
Always resourceful and self-motivated he would go around the neighbourhood and light furnaces for a penny, as well as work three paper routes so he, too, could contribute to the family.
In the 1940s, "Doug Salmon and his Orchestra" entertained at dances, parties and lodges in and around Toronto.
Not escaping the realities of racism of the day, SALMON became a protest leader on the Race Discrimination Committee (1942), which battled for the rights of blacks to enter Toronto's Palais Royale to see jazz greats such as Duke Ellington.
The protest came after he and a group of Friends were denied admission to the Palais Royale to hear Earl "Fatha" Hines play piano.
In a 1992 interview with the Star, SALMON said while Canada didn't have segregation in those days, blacks did find themselves shut out of places. "You didn't see blacks as salespersons. As far as education was concerned, you saw few blacks introduced to university."
In 1951, he obtained his honours degree in physiology and biochemistry from the University of Toronto, and in 1955, his medical degree, graduating president of his second medical year.
SALMON received scholarships from the American Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation and interned at Toronto Western Hospital.
In 1954, his sister Bea introduced him to Beverley BELL, a young Victorian Order nurse. They were married in 1956 and immediately moved to Detroit.
Although he was offered a thriving practice in Detroit, the couple chose to return to Toronto and started a family. They had four children: J. Douglas Jr., Warren, Heather and Leslie.
In 1967, SALMON joined Scarborough Centenary Hospital's general surgical staff. He was the busiest general surgeon there for many years, which his colleagues attributed to not only his superior skills and training, but also his work ethic, conscientious patient care, disciplined lifestyle and great personality.
SALMON was known for his courage, humility and compassion, as he became one of the first surgeons in Canada to treat the morbidly obese with breakthrough gastric bypass surgery.
SALMON became president of Centenary's medical staff and was later appointed chief of general surgery, the first black person in Canada to hold such positions.
After retiring from Centenary Hospital in 1995, he joined the Rudd Clinic in downtown Toronto. He retired from practice in SALMON was a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
In recognition of his outstanding stature and service to the community, he was awarded the Canadian Black Achievement Award, Medicine.
In tribute to their beloved husband and father, his family has established the Dr. John Douglas Graham Salmon Award for Black Medical Students, administered through the University of Toronto's faculty of medicine.
Donations to the award may be made c/o The Medical Science Building, Room 2306, 1 Kings College Circle, Toronto, M5S 1A8, or call Ingrid GRAHAM, 416-946-7681.
Visitation will take place today at Jerrett Funeral Home, 6191 Yonge Street, south of Steeles Ave., from 2-4 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m.
A funeral is to be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Saint John's York Mills Anglican Church, 19 Don Ridge, North York, with a reception to follow at the church. The interment is private.
