Shocked students remember good friend killled in snowmobile crash
‘It's hard to put into words just how to deal with this'
By Monique
BEECH,
Wednesday,
March 02, 2005
When Jonathan
MARSHALL died, he shattered the heart of a school
community.
To students at Orillia District Collegiate and Vocational Institute
he was ‘Marshy, ' a 16-year-old lovable teddy bear of a guy who
made everyone around him laugh. He was a stocky, shaggy-haired
teen who excelled at football, rugby and hockey, but also felt
at home singing with the not-quite-as-cool school choir.
A snowmobile crash took No. 48 from his Blues teammates last
weekend. Wearing only a T-shirt, jeans, and without a helmet,
Jonathan's snowmobile struck a parked car on Line 7 in Oro-Medonte
Township, near Moonstone, at about 10: 30 p.m. He died overnight
in Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie.
It's been an especially sharp blow for Orillia District Collegiate
& Vocational Institute's 970 students and its staff. Jon's dad,
Robert, is a math teacher there. His younger sister, Jocelyn,
a Grade 9 student.
“It's devastating,” said Blues' head football coach Tyler
KUDAR.
Robert's a co-coach of the team.
“I feel for him and his family. It's hard to put into words just
how to deal with this.&rdquo
Since the school bell rang Monday morning, students and staff
have gathered to mourn and remember the Grade 11 student. Three
candles illuminate a memorial table set up in the school's foyer.
Bristol boards are plastered with pictures and loving notes.
“I'll never forget your awesome huge hugs,” writes one student.
“Jon, You will always be an inspiration to me both on and off
the field,” writes another.
It was football that drove Jonathan, said Friends Jayson
MILLER,
17, and Mackenzie
MICKS, 16. A linebacker and leader, the powerhouse
player who weighed more than 200 pounds and stood over six feet
would rev up his teammates with spirited speeches before a game.
“Keeping our heads in it, pretty much,” said
MILLER, a teammate.
“Tellin' us to get pumped up and go out there and win.&rdquo
Shelby GUTHRIE, school president and friend, remembers his winning
smile and way of reducing anyone to fits of laughter. He would
often break into a rendition of The Gambler by Kenny Rogers or
do the Crip walk, a stutter-step, gangster-style dance popular
with teens.
“It was his thing,” said Guthrie, 17, chuckling at the memory.
His thing was also riding snowmobiles. His Friends say Jonathan,
who lived just outside Orillia on Carlyon Line, was an experienced
sledder.
They're not sure what may have led to last weekend's accident.
But he wasn't a gambler, said
MICKS. “He just lived life to the
fullest,” he said.
To help students and staff deal with their grief, seven crisis
response team counsellors were called in Monday, said principal
Lori BERESFORD.
“It's a very difficult situation but one you have to rise to
and use the people that you got, much like a family in many ways,&rdquo
said BERESFORD. “You're using that family to support each other.
And I think that's what I saw (Monday) is everybody coming together,
staff and students, to support each other.&rdquo
Moving on is going to be tough.
“If he were here right now he'd be like ‘Come on guys, cheer
up,'” said Guthrie. “Without him here it's hard to have the will
to just do that.&rdquo
It's been an equally tough lesson about the frailty of life for
these teens.
“It's good to be nice to everybody and not take everything for
granted,” said
MILLER. “Go out there and have fun, but there's
times not to be stupid. I think that's clicked into a lot of
people's heads.&rdquo
Barrie Ontario Provincial Police say Jonathan was at a friend's
house before the accident. Police at the scene tried to determine
how fast the sled was going at the time. A call to a police spokesperson
was not returned yesterday.
A celebration of Jonathan's life is being held today at 11 a.m.
at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Coldwater.

Tom PATTERSON,
Impresario: 1920-2005
He was a hometown boy not long returned from the Second World
War when he had the bright idea of holding a Shakespeare festival
in Stratford, Ontario, writes John
ALLEMANG. In 1953, employing
a combination of enthusiasm, chutzpah, good luck and characteristic
innocence, he pulled it off
By John ALLEMANG,
Thursday,
February 24, 2005 - Page S7
Tom PATTERSON, the man whose dreams and determination brought
the Stratford Festival to life, has shuffled off his mortal coil.
Shakespearean quotes weren't his line when as a young war veteran
he first set out to bring summer theatre to a small southwestern
Ontario hometown that improbably was filled with references to
the Bard. Stratford in the 1940s may have had a Romeo St. and
a King Lear public school and a river Avon where graceful white
swans nipped at anyone trying to get too friendly. But it was
no outpost of high culture - a steam-locomotive repair plant
dominated the local economy, and the idea of a Shakespearean
festival in the heart of Ontario farm country should have been
dismissed as utter craziness.
Steam turned into diesel, the plant was declared redundant, and
suddenly a failing Stratford was open to the inspired lunacy
that propelled Tom
PATTERSON through life. Though his theatre
experience was largely limited to the London music halls he'd
patronized during the war - even as a much-feted luminary later
in life, he was happy to declare that he didn't know "one damn
thing" about the dramatic arts -- he couldn't shake off the marketing
man's logic that a place named Stratford should have its own
stage.
In 1951, barely 30 years old and something of an itinerant journalist
who specialized in writing about sewage plants for Civic Administrator
magazine, he took his idea forward to the Stratford town council.
The key to understanding the unlikely success of the festival
can be seen in what followed - Tom
PATTERSON was able to convince
a sober group of Ontario burghers that a theatre was a dream
worth pursuing, a sign both that Mr.
PATTERSON possessed rare
powers of persuasion and that the small-town leaders were a lot
less sober and a lot more daring than they're ordinarily given
credit for.
In 1952, Mr.
PATTERSON was dispatched to New York City, reckoned
to be the capital of the theatre world, with $125 of civic funds.
He admitted in his autobiography First Stage that he didn't quite
know how one went about starting a theatre festival, but such
innocence was always his greatest asset. He decided to seek the
advice and support of Laurence Olivier, who was then appearing
on Broadway. When getting through to Lord Olivier proved impossible,
Mr. PATTERSON talked his way into the Rockefeller Foundation,
which enabled him to report back to his Stratford team in his
highly exaggerated way that the Rockefellers were on side - he
threw in Lord Olivier's name as well, to tide himself over until
he had a comparable big name to wave around.
By the next year, he had those names: Tyrone
GUTHRIE,
Alec
Guinness
and Irene Worth all agreed to launch a project that would never
have happened if they'd reacted with Lord Olivier's common sense.
It was one thing to talk about bringing a theatre to Stratford
(PATTERSON's early idea was that performances could be held in
the town band shell). But to lure the most restless thinker of
the British theatre along with two of the genre's leading actors
to an empty lot above the small town's baseball diamond - that
took some extraordinary combination of enthusiasm, chutzpah and
good luck.
Mr. PATTERSON found Mr.
GUTHRIE at exactly the right time. The
Irish director was obsessed with the idea of producing Shakespeare
on a thrust stage that would project right into the surrounding
audience and supply the kind of Elizabethan intimacy theatre
lost when it moved into the proscenium setting. In England, people
scoffed.
He was open to the idea of starting something new, and came to
Stratford as artistic adviser in 1952 to see what could be done.
In his memoirs, Mr.
PATTERSON tells of the subterfuge he'd dreamed
up to help win over the sophisticated Irishman to his new setting.
Fearful that Stratford's plain-looking downtown might not impress
a man used to London's West End, Mr.
PATTERSON as chauffeur took
a detour along the more presentable Avon and pointed out the
rise of turf along the river where both of them could fulfill
their dreams.
"His perseverance was indomitable," Mr.
GUTHRIE later observed.
Mr. PATTERSON needn't have worried. His future artistic director
was no snob, and acted as if he was right at home in the Ontario
town, spending half the night drinking and talking with his hotel
clerk to get a feel for the spirit of the place. His only real
concern was the question of the thrust stage, and the likelihood
of something so revolutionary getting a hearing in a conservative
Canadian town.
But Stratford's leaders were too practical-minded to be caught
up in parochial squabbles about which stage was best. Mr.
GUTHRIE
had been recommended to them by Dora Mavor Moore, the doyenne
of Canadian theatre. If he wanted a thrust stage, so be it.
Mr. GUTHRIE was supremely well-connected, and Mr.
PATTERSON found
it easier to make his pitch to leading actors after that. While
the Festival from the start was determined to make use of Canadian
talent - William Hutt, Don Harron and Timothy Findley were among
those in the inaugural casts - it was felt that name performers
such as Mr. Guinness were needed to get the festival going and
ensure that the banks didn't foreclose on the local worthies
who'd put their assets up for security. Mr.
PATTERSON was also
helped by the London connections of his former employer at Civic
Administrator magazine, arts patron and Maclean-Hunter chairman
Floyd CHALMERS.
Making
Friends in high places was never a problem
for Stratford's first general manager.
Though general manager was his title, Mr.
PATTERSON had no gift
for the finicky details of administration, and was more likely
to be found playing pinochle with actor Jason Robards than analyzing
a balance sheet. His methods belonged more to the seat-of-the-pants
school of getting things done fast and moving forward. When it
came to pricing tickets for the opening night of July 13, 1953,
he didn't commission economic studies or embark on a fact-finding
mission. Instead, he just bought a New York paper, checked the
prices of the best theatres and decided that Stratford should
have the bravado to match them.
His high-energy, anything-is-possible style was more of an asset,
especially in the festival's feverish first year. Alec Guinness
had it written into his contract that he could walk away from
the production of Richard III if the Stratford's first tent theatre
wasn't ready for rehearsals three weeks before opening night.
In fact, the theatre wasn't ready until a week before first night.
Until then, the celebrated stars of the London stage made do
with a tin-roofed barn filled with mating sparrows. And when
they moved over to the festival theatre, it was discovered from
Mr. Guinness' first soliloquy that the newly laid concrete bowl
effectively muffled all sound.
Members of the Stratford board were pressed into service stapling
custom-designed matting into the concrete. On a sweltering opening
night, all went splendidly - church bells pealed, a regimental
cannon was fired, Louis Applebaum's brass fanfare resounded,
and a crazy dream came to be in a tent theatre where you could
hear the screams of the town's baseball players on the adjacent
diamond.
Nothing in his later life could match that moment for Tom
PATTERSON,
but he had too much joie de vivre to mind the inevitable conflicts
that a growing enterprise created. As Stratford's general manager,
he felt more at home with actors than with other managers. "He
enjoyed life, sang a lot and had a great time," actor Barry MacGregor
last year said of his friend.
After the festival's first year, Mr.
PATTERSON founded the touring
theatrical company Canadian Players with actor Douglas Campbell,
and later served as founding director of the Canadian Theatre
Centre, founding president of the National Theatre School of
Canada, and founder of the Dawson City Gold Rush Festival. He
worked with the Stratford Festival until 1969, when he joined
a consulting company. A year later, he criticized the festival
organization for being out of touch with local interests. He
later described himself as a freelance theatre consultant and
worked on arts festivals across North America.
As time passed, Stratford became better able to single out the
contribution he'd made to its success and dedicated the Tom Patterson
Theatre to him. The town of Stratford also named an island in
the Avon after its least solitary citizen - by that point, his
store of quotations was good enough for him to joke how Donne
was wrong in insisting that no man is an island.
Tributes had come his way long before. In 1967, he was made a
member of the Order of Canada in 1967 and promoted to officer
10 years later. He also received honorary degrees from the University
of Toronto and the University of Western Ontario.
"I can safely say I think
(PATTERSON) has done more as an ambassador
of goodwill than any leader of our country has ever done," the
Montreal-born Christopher Plummer said yesterday. The actor has
performed often at the festival.
In his later years, Mr.
PATTERSON was beset by ill health, suffering
both a tracheotomy and laryngectomy that took away most of his
vocal power but in no way deprived him of his ability to command
a room. He spent his last years in the veterans wing of Toronto's
Sunnybrook Hospital, where he was renowned as a live wire. Despite
his disabilities, he still found ways to get back to Stratford
- for two seasons he organized a visit for his fellow hospital
residents, who delighted as much in seeing their comrade applauded
by the appreciative crowds as they did in theatre's more Shakespearean
moments. On one trip, he strayed from the group to visit with
the actors and actually managed to get himself locked up in the
theatre for several hours.
By this time, the ebullient Tom
PATTERSON could talk only in
short bursts through a often-wonky voice amplifier, but it in
no way subdued his good humour. When someone generously observed
that he was looking well on his final visit to Stratford, Mr.
PATTERSON replied, in his amplifier's deadened monotone, "I don't
think I could play Darth Vader with this thing."
Harry Thomas
PATTERSON was born in Stratford, Ontario, on June
11, 1920. He died on yesterday at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto
after a long illness. He was 84. He is survived by his wife,
Pat, and by children Bob, Tim, Lucy Ann and Lyle Scott. He was
predeceased by his daughter, Penny. Funeral information was not
immediately available, but the festival plans a memorial service
on March 13.

Ralph GORDON,
Air
Force Brigadier-General (1917-2005)
As a 28-year-old, he commanded a Second World War Royal Canadian
Air Force supply squadron under monsoon conditions in the Far
East and went on to become a high-ranking officer
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Thursday, December
29, 2005, Page S9
Ottawa -- Fighting the Japanese in the Far East during the Second
World was one thing but fighting monsoons at the same time was
quite another. When heavy rainfall struck in June of 1945, Ralph
GORDON, the 28-year-old commanding officer of the Royal Canadian
Air Force's 436 Squadron, knew he had a problem.
Not only did his squadron have to supply the British Army with
fuel, food, medical supplies, cargo and men in its struggle to
dislodge the Japanese from Burma, but it had to fly around the
clock in a region that experienced about as much rain in one
month as Vancouver received in a whole year.
Five months earlier, the newly-formed squadron had moved to Kangla,
in India's Imphal Valley, to support Field Marshal Sir William
Slim and his 14th Army. With Mr.
GORDON commanding hundreds of
pilots, navigators, ground crew, cooks and other tradesmen, the
squadron shared in the fall of Mandalay and Rangoon but found
the monsoon to be as daunting an enemy as the Japanese.
That June, meteorologists recorded a rainfall of 47 inches. According
to Canucks Unlimited, a history of the squadron, "only the most
limited of radio facilities were available and forecasting services
just did not exist. Each airman was on his own and could count
on little practical help."
Instead, Mr.
GORDON, then a wing commander, came up with the
idea of using one aircraft at a time, in rotation, to go into
the air and report on meteorological conditions in a kind of
informal weather network he dubbed "Watchbird." In this way,
the squadron beat the monsoon and flew 1,000 hours in the "wettest
and most difficult base in all of India and Burma." It was also
the only air force unit that made it through the monsoon without
casualties.
The heavy rain meant Mr.
GORDON and his men continually improvised.
"No one had operated under monsoon conditions before," he once
recounted. "We didn't have proper equipment for changing engines
on aircraft, or for doing laundry, or for lighting lamps, so
we had to scrounge a lot.
"The technicians cut bamboo and made tripods and chain blocks
to lift engines out of aircraft. They had no hangars and had
to work in the rain. The runways were simply made of heavy tar
paper, with steel mesh laid over them, so when it rained, the
runway floated on the water. You got water over the windshield,
and everywhere, when you took off.
"The Royal Canadian Air Force sent us stoves that burned wood
to cook with [but] there was no wood to burn because bamboo is
full of water. So we had to design stoves that burned aviation
fuel."
Mr. GORDON's methods earned the respect of former airframe mechanic
Art ADAM/ADAMS of Hamilton, Ontario "We all thought he was a tremendous
commanding officer."
Mr. ADAM/ADAMS, currently the squadron's honorary colonel, said Mr.
GORDON flouted tradition and allowed officers and men to eat
together, which, in the stuffy view of neighbouring Royal Air
Force squadrons, violated protocol.
"He said, 'If our squadron is going to work together and fly
together, then by God, we will eat together!' [That is] one of
the reasons we had such a happy and determined squadron."
Art IRWIN of Ottawa also admired his commanding officer's can-do
ability. "We had a high disability rate from dysentery and other
gastric disturbances, which had to do with a lack of hygiene.
One of the first things he did was remove the native cooks as
food handlers and have only Canadians working [in the kitchen].
His move quickly reduced our [health] problems. That was a big,
big step."
For all his success, being the boss was a lonely job, Mr.
GORDON
told his granddaughter Heather
GORDON in 1996. Commanding men
in battle meant he dealt with his responsibilities in isolation
from everyone else. "You couldn't be Friends and still be their
boss at the same time," he said. "You knew that what you did
impacted all those who served under you."
For the leadership he displayed during the nine months he commanded
436 Squadron, along with the operational missions he flew with
415 Squadron over Europe in 1944, Mr.
GORDON was awarded the
Distinguished Service Order on January 15, 1946. Three months
earlier, he had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for
"showing outstanding devotion to duty and efficiency. Most of
[his] flights have been in unarmed aircraft across mountainous
jungle country within range of enemy fighters. His operational
flying has always been of the highest standard."
Mr. GORDON had also been mentioned in dispatches on June 14,
Ralph GORDON grew up in Bobcaygeon, in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes
cottage region, where his father Charles owned a boating business.
After joining the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1939, he was awarded
his pilot's wings in June, 1940. Two years of instructing followed
before he went to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to fly Canso maritime
patrol aircraft for No. 162 (Bomber/Reconnaissance) Squadron.
In May, 1944, he was sent to Britain to fly Wellington bombers
against enemy shipping.
After the war, Mr.
GORDON remained in the Royal Canadian Air
Force and experienced first its reduction and then its dramatic
Cold War expansion. By the end of the 1950s, the Royal Canadian
Air Force flew 2,000 aircraft and counted 55,000 men and woman
among its ranks. From 1961-65, as a group captain, he commanded
Royal Canadian Air Force Station Greenwood, Nova Scotia, a key
Maritime Air Command base. In August of 1965, he was promoted
air commodore and given command of Maritime Air Command, making
him responsible for the security of both East and West Coasts.
As it turned out, he was its last commander.
In January of 1966, Maritime Air Command was amalgamated into
the new Maritime Command as part of the integration of the army,
navy and air force, a scheme that caused enormous controversy.
When four senior admirals resigned in protest, Mr.
GORDON found
himself in temporary command, on July 19, 1966, of Maritime Command,
which included the Atlantic fleet and Royal Canadian Air Force
maritime units. His command lasted all of eight hours. The sight
of Mr. GORDON's personal Royal Canadian Air Force flag flying
at the heart of the navy's headquarters in Halifax caused one
salty chief petty officer to growl, "It's a disgrace!"
During his career, Mr.
GORDON spent more than 3,000 hours flying
about 25 different types of aircraft. After retiring as a brigadier-general
in 1968, he worked for the federal public service.
Ralph Alan
GORDON was born on November 16, 1917, in Toronto.
He died of cancer on November 8, in Ottawa. He was 87. He leaves
his sons, Larry and Bruce, and his companion, Nancy
GUTHRIE.
He was predeceased by his wife Esther.
