WEAVER, Dominique Catherine
Dominique Catherine WEAVER suddenly and most sadly passed away on September 26, 2005. The beloved wife of Grant, mother of Matthew, daughter of Mme. Yalonde HOUDE and former Ambassador François-Xavier HOUDE (deceased) (Montreal,) sister of Pascale, Chantal, Marie-France, Jean François, Denys and Michele HOUDE, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Helen WEAVER and Dr. Kenneth WEAVER (deceased) (Port Alberni,) sister-in-law of Nancy BLAIR (Vancouver,) aunt, teacher, and friend of many. Born September 25, 1957, Dominique was an exotic flower of great beauty, raw energy and spicy perfume. A clever linguist, Dominique taught Spanish to the girls of York House School for many years, imparting to them not only Spanish vocabulary and grammar, but also her love of Latin language and culture. She had great fashion style and was a superb athlete and sportswoman who enjoyed the thrill of physical challenge. Dominique pushed herself hard - to hit the high notes in her choir, to perfect the most difficult steps of the Tango, to make the slam in tennis, and to open herself to the greatest gift of all, self love. Latterly, she struggled hard to right her ship and centre herself in calm waters, and strove for the peace that comes to some, but forever eludes others. She will be deeply missed. Dominique came from love now her soul is free to return to unconditional love. Funeral service and Church reception to be held Tuesday, October 4 at 2: 30 p.m. at Shaughnessy Heights United Church, 1550 West 33rd Avenue, Vancouver, with a gathering at the Family home to follow.

Tom HOUGH, Fighter Pilot and Lawyer: 1922-2005
Royal Canadian Air Force Spitfire pilot survived the notorious 'long march' of allied PoWs near the close of the Second World War
By Buzz BOURDON, Special to The Globe and Mail, Thursday, May 5, 2005, Page S9
Ottawa -- The order came with characteristic German terseness. All Allied prisoners, more than 1,000 aircrew from Canada, Britain and other Commonwealth countries, were to be ready to evacuate Stalag Luft III on 30 minutes' notice.
Tom HOUGH of the Royal Canadian Air Force had been expecting it, but the news still hit him and his fellow prisoners, or "kriegies," like a ton of bricks. "Hysteria reigned. The pervading feeling was of immense relief not unaccompanied by apprehension. Val started playing his guitar, and in a spontaneous excess of spirits we all started singing," he wrote 40 years later in an unpublished memoir.
After packing his meagre belongings, Mr. HOUGH, a Spitfire pilot who had joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 and served with the Royal Air Force squadrons and with the Royal Australian Air Force in Egypt, had crash-landed behind enemy lines in Italy. A prisoner of war for almost a year, he paraded with the rest of the men. It was very cold and snowing lightly.
The Russian army had launched an explosive attack across the Vistula River two weeks earlier on January 12, 1945. Hitler's Third Reich was falling to pieces all over Europe, but German authorities saw fit to evacuate tens of thousands of Allied PoWs away from Russian forces. The Germans thought they would be useful in peace negotiations.
On January 28, 1945, they marshalled the prisoners -- all of them hungry, exhausted and fearing the worst -- and sent them by foot across 90 kilometres of frozen countryside from Stalag Luft III, near Sagan, in southeastern Germany, to Luckenwalde, near Berlin. Now known as "the long march," the event was duplicated at many other camps. It is regarded as one of Germany's worst war crimes.
Walking 15 or 20 kilometres per day took its toll on the prisoners, many of whom had been in captivity for five years, Mr. HOUGH said. "What would happen to those too ill to walk? Many of us were suffering from foot trouble. Socks were removed, carrying parts of burst blisters with them. An increasing number were developing painful limps; many had developed coughs and running noses. Some had temperatures. Many had diarrhea or intestinal infections."
It was also the coldest winter Germany had experienced in 50 years and hundreds of PoWs collapsed and perished by the wayside. Ironically, Mr. HOUGH and his mates also had to contend with Allied aircraft that mistook them for a German column. In one incident alone, Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter bombers strafed and killed 60 PoWs.
Despite the horrors of the march, a comic incident occurred when a German officer made an unusual appeal, Mr. HOUGH wrote. "'If the kriegie who has stolen [his] birthday goose from his staff-car does not return it forthwith, you'll all have to sleep in the snow. If he returns it immediately, no questions will be asked.' The word was that it was too late, but apparently the officer settled for a D-bar [chocolate] and an unstated number of cigarettes."
Five days later the ragged column arrived at a rail siding and a long line of boxcars labelled 40 hommes ou 8 chevaux. Hundreds of men were crammed inside each car. Conditions were worse than primitive, Mr. HOUGH said. "The press was so acute that no one could lie down. At best, perhaps half of us could sit down at one time, knees drawn up to our chests. Later, when complete exhaustion set in, some collapsed on top of others, so in places we lay in layers."
Three days later, Mr. HOUGH and his comrades arrived at Stalag IIIA, 50 kilometres south of Berlin. Advancing Soviet forces soon cast aside German defences and on April 21, 1945, he simply walked to freedom.
After the war, Mr. HOUGH qualified as a lawyer at Osgoode Hall before joining the Royal Canadian Air Force's legal branch. In 1962, he founded his own law firm in Ottawa and was later appointed Queen's Counsel.
Thomas Harris HOUGH was born on January 2, 1922, in North Bay, Ontario He died of a heart attack on March 27, 2005, in Ottawa. He was 83. He leaves his son Tom, daughters Teri, Lynne and Janet, sister Pat and brothers Bill and David. He was predeceased by his wife Denise and son Mark.

One man killed
A Mt. Brydges man is dead following an accident that caused a train derailment near Melbourne last Tuesday. A northbound tank truck carrying water collided with an eastbound freight train at the Melbourne Road crossing just north of Glendon Drive at about 7: 30 a.m. The first Melbourne firefighters arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the call. Forty-five-year-old James LONGDO was killed in the accident. Dense fog was a contributing factor in the incident, according to Strathroy-Caradoc Police. The force of the collision broke a coupling on the train, causing 14 of its 87 cars to derail. Tank cars labelled as containing anhydrous ammonia, a highly toxic substance, were just a few cars behind the section of cars that was derailed, although there was no information as to whether the cars were full at the time of the accident. A section of Melbourne Road was closed for several days while Canadian Pacific Rail crews removed the damaged rail cars and repaired the tracks.

FRASER, Christopher Edwin Jr.
With the unconditional support of his soulmate Kay and his children Marie (HOUGHTON,) Colin, Patricia (MANN) and Karen, on his own terms and very much at peace, Christopher embraced the motto of the Clan Fraser: "Je Suis Prest" and completed the pilgrimage that was his life on March 1st, 2005. His parents (deceased) Christopher FRASER Sr. and Madeline FRASER (née BURNS,) his siblings Sr. Dorothy FRASER, C.S.J., Donald (Elinor,) Elizabeth (Lino MARCON,) and Sr. Janet FRASER, C.S.J., Donna FRASER, his sons-in-law John HOUGHTON and Peter MANN, Sandee, Joe and his grandchildren Andrew, Emily, Adon, Spencer, FRASER and Sonny were also in his thoughts with his nieces and nephews. Christopher loved God. He loved his 73 years of life, his family and his Friends and these loved him and gave him great and sustaining joy. "Moose" was ever the consummate teacher and de facto preacher. He always indulged an unquenchable thirst for lively debate and discussion, peppered with true Fraser humour. Summers were only complete if spent at the Cottage. The news of his illness brought spontaneous stories from across North America of his having made people feel valued and loved. He learned that those whom time and geography had made to seem distant had always kept him close in their hearts and minds because of his enduring influence on them. God's unconditional love that His creations are beautiful and precious and that as Christians we should act as our brother Jesus, were a constant theme in Chris' life with family, Friends, students and fellow educators. Christopher built community and modelled love for the individual. His influence on so many lives will long outlast his all too brief time on this Earth. Visitation will be held at Blessed Trinity Church, 3220 Bayview Avenue, Toronto on Friday, March 4, 2005 from 1: 00-2:00 p.m. Mass celebrating Christopher's life will follow at 2: 00 p.m. A reception will immediately follow the Mass. A private burial service will take place in Lindsay, Ontario. Arrangements entrusted to the Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street, Lindsay (705-328-2721). As a founding director of the "Friends of Shopping Bag Ladies" Christopher requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to the shelter that supports these women in downtown Toronto (416 Dundas Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5A 2A8).
