ROSEHART, Sister Marilyn Catherine
At Parkwood Hospital, London on Thursday, March 24, 2005, Sister Marilyn Rosehar t (formerly Sister Edna Marie), of the Community of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Diocese of London, at age 68 years and in her 49th year of religious life. Marilyn is lovingly remembered and will be sadly missed by her sisters in community and by her family. Her sisters and brother have been faithfully with her especially during these past months of her illness. Marilyn is predeceased by her father Paul in 1945, her mother Edna (McELHONE) in 2002 and her brother-in-law William MUSICK in 1971. Besides her sisters and Friends in community, she is mourned by her sisters Pat MUSICK of Dundas, Gerry DYRKACZ and her husband Marvin of Calgary, Alberta, Jean MECH and her husband Bob of Hamilton, Ginny LASANOWSKI and her husband Stan of Guelph and her brother Paul and wife Sharon of Elora. Many nieces and nephews will remember their aunt as someone who was vitally interested in their lives - Lynn, Michelle, Lisa, Lori, Erica, Paula, Paul, Tom, Mike and Mark. Marilyn's memory and vital spirit will be kept alive for the next generation of great nieces and nephews. They will carry the goodness of her spirit into the future. Marilyn was raised in Simcoe and grew up in a close-knit family where the seeds of responsibility, faith and respect for people were planted. She had training in both administration and in spiritual direction and these gifts led her to administrative work in St. Joseph's Hospital in London and Chatham as well as Saint Mary's Hospital. She also served in leadership positions within the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph. More recently she worked at St. Joseph's Hospitality Centre where she became friend to so many volunteers and clients alike. Her warmth, sensitive spirit, keen wit and good old-fashioned practicality created many lasting relationships. She had a tenacious sense of what needed to be done and did not let apparent obstacles deter her. Her Friends always knew her as someone who supported and encouraged their endeavours. For the last six years she was a co-director at Medaille Spirituality Centre where she enjoyed creating space for others to rest and to reflect. Her sense of the beautiful and her passion for hospitality to others were two strong strands of her own spirituality. Marilyn and those close to her are so appreciative of the many people who were part of the last phase of her journey into God. In particular we wish to extend gratitude to the nursing staff at Parkwood Palliative Care and Dr. John SWIFT for their day to day care and encouraging words. Dr. Kelly REGAN and Dr. Seema LUKE played significant roles in getting Marilyn the care that she needed. The Palliative Care Out reach Team were such a wonderful and constant support. Resting at Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse, 1486 Richmond Street, N., London on Monday, March 28, 2005 from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. and Tuesday, March 29, 2005 from 9 a.m. until 10: 15 a.m. Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated in Immaculate Conception Chapel, Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse, 1486 Richmond Street, N., London on Tuesday, March 29 at 10: 30 a.m. Interment to follow in St. Peter's Cemetery. The Vigil Service will be at Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse on Monday, March 28, 2005 at 7: 30 p.m. At the request of her family and in keeping with Marilyn's spirit, in lieu of flowers, donations to St. Joseph's Hospitality Centre, London, would be appreciated. (John T. Donohue Funeral Home)

DICKSON/DIXON, Brian, 1998 -- Died This Day
Monday, October 17, 2005, Page S8
Lawyer and jurist born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan., in 1916.
After studying law in Manitoba, he was called to the bar in 1940 only to have his career interrupted by the Second World War. He joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was sent overseas. He was seriously wounded in the fighting and later had a leg amputated. After the war he practised law and lectured at the Manitoba Law School until he was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench in Manitoba in 1963. Ten years later, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada and surprised many observers by becoming a vigorous defender of individual and minority rights. During the mid-1970s, he, Bora LASKIN and Wishart SPENCE formed a liberal troika on the court. He presided over a court that imposed strict limits on governments' ability to pass laws that interfered with people's rights. The top court demanded that Manitoba become legislatively bilingual, overturned Quebec laws restricting the use of English and upheld the education rights of francophones in Alberta. He was also part of decisions striking down religious bans on Sunday shopping, upholding historic native-treaty rights and wiping out a national abortion law as a violation of women's rights.

LASKIN was Supreme
The late Supreme Court chief justice Bora LASKIN went where no Canadian had gone before A non-conformist, he reinvented a stuffy bench while appealing to the layman, writes Tracey TYLER, Page F3
Canada's great chief justice of the 20th century had a word for his successes in life: accidentalism. If true, Bora LASKIN's arrival at the Supreme Court in the spring of 1970 might have been one of the best-timed accidents in Canadian history.
To the south, the United States Supreme Court was coming off a series of star turns with its history-making decisions on civil rights, from an end to school segregation to the Miranda ruling on the right to remain silent.
Life at Canada's top court had little of the same electricity.
Caught in a straitjacket of English law, never daring to take the pulse of the public, its nine male judges saw their job as correcting errors of courts below rather than developing a body of Canadian-made law, an approach that earned the court no profile internationally and little respect at home. Lawyers bemoaned its hidebound style.
Within a decade, however, an unassuming former law professor delivered the shock treatment many felt it needed.
LASKIN's appointment was the legal equivalent of Pierre Elliott Trudeau sweeping into office, Supreme Court Justice Ian BINNIE told a recent Toronto symposium that examined LASKIN's legacy and his enduring appeal -- 35 years after his appointment to the court, as its first Jewish judge, and 40 years after his appointment to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Many judges have served on the Supreme Court longer, but LASKIN had an indelible impact.
The court that captured the country's attention this month with a landmark ruling on health care was essentially one he created. He took a court that banned lawyers from citing works by living authors and "reinvented" it -- opening its doors to interveners and narrowing its focus to issues of national importance, BINNIE said.
LASKIN, who died in 1984 at age 71, never lived to see the impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But as they assess his place in history, many legal scholars credit him with paving the way for the Charter by pushing judges to look beyond the letter of the law and consider social realities.
There's something more.
"He was the only serious, intellectual, non-conformist disturber to serve as chief justice," BINNIE said.
It seems Canadians liked what they saw.
"In my research, everyone knew Bora LASKIN... but no one who was not a lawyer could ever identify any chief justice after him," said Philip GIRARD, an associate dean at Dalhousie Law School and author of Bora LASKIN: Bringing Law to Life, a new book out this fall.
"LASKIN had a certain spark and he was associated with a lay person's idea of justice. He sort of helped convince them the court was on their side."
It helped that he appealed to notions of what a chief justice should be. Looking every inch a part of the establishment, LASKIN fit perfectly with his mutton-chopped predecessors pictured around the Supreme Court, BINNIE said.
In truth, he was the justice system's most trenchant critic and an anti-establishment figure, a trait sometimes discernible through an "armour-piercing gaze" that would put former Montreal Canadien Rocket Richard to shame, he said.
LASKIN enjoyed the oyster special at Ottawa's Rideau Club, but his favourite snack was a sardine and onion sandwich. He once pinch-hit for the governor general by delivering the throne speech (coached in French by daughter Barbara) but considered his proudest achievement belting the longest home run out of the ballpark in his hometown of Fort William, now part of Thunder Bay.
Frequently parting company with fellow judges on the law, he earned a reputation, some say undeservedly, as a "great dissenter" and some detractors.
"There were many lower court judges who hated him. They thought he was totally crazy," GIRARD said.
LASKIN dissented in no less than 108 cases in his 14 years on the court and many of his opinions, considered radical at the time, did become law, including a groundbreaking 1975 ruling that Iris Murdoch was entitled to an equal share of the family's Alberta ranch after separation.
He most famously broke rank in the politically charged 1981 patriation reference. True to his belief in strong central government, LASKIN found it would not defy convention to bring the Constitution home from England and entrench a Charter without consent from the provinces. The majority view forced a first ministers' conference and a deal that alienated Quebec.
BINNIE said LASKIN's independent streak is why he remains intriguing. Trudeau's decision to name him chief justice in 1974 would have been like making Martin Luther the Pope, he added.
It couldn't have helped that he leapfrogged over other judges with more seniority.
A chilly atmosphere predated his arrival at the court and may explain why he felt one of his great contributions had nothing to do with law. It was building a lunchroom, said his son, John, a judge on the Ontario Court of Appeal.
"At times, I think my dad found the Supreme Court of Canada to be a pretty isolated place. Judges tended to go their own ways."
LASKIN said he's not sure what his father would have thought of the symposium. He preferred to look to the future, not the past. But the irony of the Law Society of Upper Canada hosting the event in Osgoode Hall would have brought a smile to his face, he said.
The law society snubbed LASKIN and two fellow professors, Caesar WRIGHT and John WILLIS, by refusing to recognize the faculty of law they created at the University of Toronto after they quit their Osgoode Hall teaching jobs in 1949.
LASKIN studied undergraduate law at U of T, then completed a master's and his legal articles before heading to Harvard University to study for a master of law under future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter in 1936-37.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal was in full swing and people like Frankfurter were challenging conventional legal thinking. A similar skepticism permeated LASKIN's academic writings.
"His basic message was the courts are really out of touch. They don't understand modern conditions and are living in a nostalgic dream world," GIRARD said.
LASKIN was born in Fort William on October 5, 1912, to Russian immigrants whose priority was a good education for their sons and who helped pay for it by renting out their home.
LASKIN's father moved into a hotel and ran the family's furniture store, while LASKIN's mother went to work as a housekeeper in Toronto. LASKIN and his brothers followed.
The academic credentials he racked up at Harvard weren't enough to get him a job after graduation.
Shut out of Toronto law firms by restrictions on Jewish lawyers, he wrote case summaries at 50 cents each for law reports. In 1940, he took over for his former teacher at University of Toronto and became a "workhorse" later at the law school, teaching more courses than anyone else, said former student and retired judge Horace KREVER. LASKIN's children say he would have happily stayed a professor.
"I think he enjoyed his work more than anyone I have known," said his son. "He also had a capacity to work extremely long hours and a tremendous ability to survive on very little sleep, which I don't have."
Two and 3 a.m. bedtimes were common, said daughter, Barbara, who recalls her father coming down the hall late at night, rubbing his hands "in glee" after knocking off another judgment.
LASKIN worked in a basement office his children called "the dungeon" but always had dinner with his children and wife, Peggy.
There were many family vacations by car. Though not a good swimmer, LASKIN liked being near water and found it soothing. When they were together, he rarely talked shop.
"My dad had two great loves in his life. One was law. The other was his family," his son said. "He watched me play basketball he watched Barbara dance."
"The LASKINs had a hoop in their driveway and it got a lot of use from the neighbourhood," said Justice Stephen GOUDGE of the Ontario Court of Appeal, who got to know LASKIN as the father of his nursery school friend John.
Later, he came to appreciate LASKIN's role in shaping the country's postwar labour law.
Courts were hostile to administrative tribunals, such as labour relations boards, but LASKIN argued they should be left to do their work. He was also in high demand as a labour arbitrator and GIRARD considers LASKIN's arbitration rulings among his most significant.
They include his decision during a 1958 strike at a Scarborough plant that arbitrators could award damages for breach of a collective agreement.
On the Supreme Court, LASKIN was in the minority in siding with Sophie Carswell's right to picket her employer's business at a Winnipeg shopping centre, considered off limits as private property. LASKIN likened malls to modern-day town squares.
As a judge, LASKIN liked nothing more than having former law students appear before him. But nothing "peeved" him more than sloppy English, Barbara said. A lawyer who uttered the words "at this point in time" was likely to be met with a stern stare, followed by the question, "You mean, 'today?'"
He was proud when a former English teacher called to say she used one of his judgments as an example of good writing. He always wrote in longhand, said his son, who does the same.
As he settled in on the court, LASKIN churned out more judgments every year, said symposium organizer Neil FINKELSTEIN. He dissented less often. When he did, Justices Wishart SPENCE and Brian DICKSON/DIXON often joined him. They were known as the " LSD gang."
And the others? LASKIN rarely spoke candidly of those who disagreed with him, but former law clerk John McCAMUS, now an Osgoode Hall Law School professor, recalls him letting down his guard just once. When he arrived at the chief justice's office, LASKIN, with a twinkle in his eye, handed him a dissenting judgment.
Then, he dusted off an apocalyptic phrase, one used by reporters to describe conservative judges who blocked progressive U.S. legislation in the 1930s. "I wonder," he said, "what the Four Horsemen will think."

Second body found in Georgian Bay
Search continues for third man still missing
By Jim ALGIE, Sun Times staff
Searchers found another body Monday evening, the second of three men who went missing while sailing on Georgian Bay Friday.
Ontario Provincial Police Const. Dave MEYER said Monday night the body of Karol LASKOWSKI, 23, of Hamilton, was discovered approimately six-and-a-half kilometres from where Adam MUSIALKAEWACZ's was discovered Sunday night.
Still missing is Rafal SIENKIEWICZ, 17 of Dabrowiec, Poland.
Both LASKOWSKI and MUSIALKAEWACZ were wearing lifejackets and wetsuits, MEYER said.
MEYER said LASKOWSKI's body was found about 14.5 km northeast of Cape Croker at about 7: 30 p.m. Monday
MUSIALKAEWACZ was found eight kilometres northeast of Cape Croker.
The three were last seen alive in a small, racing-type sailboat at about 7 p.m. Friday near Cabot head on the Bruce Peninsula. It had been attempting to tack toward shore at the time.
The▼ three Friends were vacationing in the area along with LASKOWSKI's father, who reported the vessel missing at about 11 a.m. Saturday.
Canadian Forces officials at Rescue Co-ordination Centre Trenton dispatched a C-130 Hercules aircraft and a Cormorant helicopter. The search also included a provincial police helicopter and two police boats, Canadian Coast Guard maritime co-ordinator Dana WATLING said Monday.
As well, three Coast Guard vessels and a private boat have participated in the search, WATLING said. By late Monday afternoon, searchers had found no sign of the vessel, WATLING said.
“We're looking for survivors, that's what we're looking for and so we go along and make sure that the area has been covered,&rdquo he said before the second body was found. “We'll keep searching until every possibility has been exhausted that the persons could still be found alive.&rdquo
So far, weather has co-operated with the search, which has continued night and day since the vessel was reported missing. WATLING would not say how long the work will continue.

Six-year-old boy drowns
In a second weekend tragedy on the lakes, the body of one of three missing boaters was found.
By Sarah FRALEY, Free Press Reporter
Two boys drowned and two sailors are missing as the Canada Day weekend turned tragic on area lakes.
A six-year-old Bluewater boy, Tyler REID, drowned while on an outing with Friends at Rotary Beach on Cove Road in Goderich just before 5 p.m. Saturday, Ontario Provincial Police reported yesterday.
REID was with five other children between the ages of six and 11, said Huron Ontario Provincial Police Const. Don SHROPSHALL.
A family friend had brought the children to the beach.
They had been at the beach for a few hours when the woman with the children noticed several come out of the water. REID was not with them.
Only a few moments later, another woman on the beach alerted lifeguards to what looked to be some clothing floating in the water.
When lifeguards went into the water, they found REID submerged.
Lifeguards immediately started cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and the boy was taken to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, where resuscitation attempts failed, SHROPSHALL said.
The boy was in waist-high water with waves about 30 centimetres high, SHROPSHALL said.
The boy didn't know how to swim and was not wearing a life-jacket, he said.
SHROPSHALL warned parents to "make sure all kids stay together when at the beach and if some kids want to get out, make sure they all come out."
Meanwhile last night, the body of one of three young men missing after leaving Cabot head on the east shore of the Bruce Peninsula in a small sailboat on Canada Day was recovered.
The▼ body of Adam MUSIALKAEWACZ, 15, of Hamilton, was spotted by searchers eight kilometres northeast of Cape Croker and recovered at 6 p.m yesterday.
Rafal SIENKIEWICZ, 17, of Poland and Karol LASKOWSKI, 23, of Hamilton are still missing. The three were last seen at 7 p.m. Friday attempting to tack toward the shore.
Searchers in three helicopters, a C-130 Hercules aircraft and five boats from the Ontario Provincial Police, the Rescue Co-ordination Centre of Trenton and the Canadian Coast Guard were combing southern Georgian Bay yesterday.
Searchers from the Department of National Defence, which has a tank range in Meaford, and Parks Canada were looking on shore for the missing boaters.
Some privately owned boats have also joined the search.
MUSIALKAEWACZ was wearing a life-jacket and wetsuit. SIENKIEWICZ was believed to be wearing the same gear and it is possible that LASKOWSKI was as well, police said.

Missing boater found dead in Georgian Bay
Teen was wearing wetsuit, life vest
Search continues for two others
By Roberta AVERY, Special To The Star
Cabot head -- The body of one of three boaters missing since Friday evening was pulled from the waters of Georgian Bay late last evening.
The▲ body identified as that of 15-year-old Adam MUSIALKAEWACZ of Hamilton was found about 9 kilometres northeast of Cape Croker, northeast of Wiarton on the Bruce Peninsula, and about 40 kilometres south of where they were last seen, said Ontario Provincial Police Constable Steve STARR.
"He was wearing a wetsuit and a life jacket when he was found," said STARR.
The discovery came after an extensive two-day air and water search by the Ontario Provincial Police, the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton, Parks Canada and private vessels that covered southern Georgian Bay as far south as Meaford. MUSIALKAEWACZ and his Friends Karol LASKOWSKI, 23, of Hamilton, and Rafal SIENKIEWICZ, 17, who is visiting from Poland, were last seen around 7 p.m. Friday just south of Cabot head in an open 15-foot sailboat. Some campers spotted the boat trying to head into the wind toward shore.
It's believed there was no VHF radio, cellphone or lights on board, said Maj. Gerry FAVRE of the rescue centre.
John TOZER, a sailor who lives in nearby Dyer's Bay, said there was quite "a blow" on Friday evening with winds from the north making conditions unsuitable for a small boat.
"There was no way they could have gone into that wind," said TOZER.
Environment Canada reports there was a small-craft wind warning on Georgian Bay Friday evening with winds gusting up to 50 km/h.
Kathleen BRADLEY and Guy LANGMAN, who are the lighthouse keepers at Cabot Head, were on the porch of their cottage adjacent to the lighthouse early Saturday morning when a distraught man arrived and asked if they had seen a sailboat.
"He was very upset," said BRADLEY.
The man, who identified himself as the father of one of the boaters, said he had discovered the car and trailer used to transport the boat on the beach about 2 kilometres from the lighthouse early that morning and had already searched the harbour at Lion's head
BRADLEY sent the man to search nearby Wingfield Basin where sailors often take shelter during rough weather. When there was no sign of the missing boat, LANGMAN suggested the man call the coast guard and gave him a phone and all the contact information.
The man called the coast guard and then explained he was staying at a remote cottage with no telephone so BRADLEY invited him to stay at the lighthouse and the man went to fetch his wife and their 5-year-old daughter
"They waited all day for news but there was none. It was upsetting to see them; we wished there was something we could do," said BRADLEY.
She invited them to return yesterday, but they didn't come back, she said.
There is no dock at Cabot head so the young boaters would have had to carry the boat over the stony beach to reach the water, said BRADLEY.
The Class 470 Spanish-made sailboat had flotation compartments and should be unsinkable unless the hull is damaged, said STARR.
Searchers had hoped that as all three were believed to be wearing wetsuits there was a chance they would have survived two nights in the 17°C water even if the boat had capsized, said STARR.
"As Adam was found wearing a wetsuit it doesn't bode well for the others. It's a very sad situation," said STARR.
The▲ search for LASKOWSKI and SIENKIEWICZ is to resume this morning.
