Former Owen Sound mayor dies
Bob RUTHERFORD served the city for nearly 30 years
By Jonathon JACKSON, Saturday, March 05, 2005
Bob RUTHERFORD, whose career in municipal politics spanned nearly 30 years and included 16 years as Owen Sound's mayor, has died. He was 76.
Mayor Ruth LOVELL announced his death Friday during council's budget deliberations.
Mr. RUTHERFORD had been in Owen Sound hospital for a few weeks before he died there. The nature of his illness was not announced.
“I will certainly remember him as a very effective and personable mayor,” LOVELL said Friday. “He will be a person who is very missed.&rdquo
“He just loved this community,” said Coun. Arlene WRIGHT, who worked with Mr. RUTHERFORD at Rutherford Signs for 20 years.
“A true politician, dedicated,” summed up Gail NORRIS, who has worked for six Owen Sound mayors. “When he talked, people listened to him.&rdquo
Mr. RUTHERFORD was first elected to city council in 1962 and became mayor in 1965. He served in that position until being defeated in 1974 by Warren LOUGHEED. Mr. RUTHERFORD returned to office in 1976, ousting LOUGHEED in the next election.
He was mayor until 1982, when he was defeated largely due to his support for what was then a controversial plan to replace the city's downtown arena with what is now called the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre.
After the arena was condemned due to a structural problem, Mr. RUTHERFORD engineered a deal with A and P to build a new grocery store on the site of the old arena. He then helped push through an application which helped the new community centre qualify for an expiring grant program with only one day to spare.
But in a time of soaring interest rates and a poor economy, fears of higher taxes because of the Bayshore's cost resulted in Mr. RUTHERFORD's defeat and the election of Ovid JACKSON as mayor.
“The most wonderful thing that I ever got for the city... was the thing that killed me,” Mr. RUTHERFORD said on election night in 1982.
“I have no regrets. I would not have changed anything along the way.&rdquo
NORRIS, who still works in the mayor's office, recalls clearly a conversation she and Mr. RUTHERFORD had which she thinks says a lot about him.
“ ‘Gail, I'm going to vote that we build the Bayshore because the grants are available now and we need a new arena.' But he said, ‘I can tell you, I'll probably lose the election, ' ” she said. “What always amazed me was the day they opened the building and Bob was a guest, they gave him a standing ovation. You know, he had the vision.&rdquo
In 1985, as he had done in 1976, he challenged the man who had defeated him. JACKSON won re-election and Mr. RUTHERFORD vowed he was done with politics.
“I'm finished,” he said at the time. “I'll never run as a candidate again.&rdquo
It was a promise he didn't keep. He ran for a spot on city council in 1988, finished fifth in a field of 11 and served Owen Sound for three more years.
WRIGHT, who at one time was also Mr. RUTHERFORD's neighbour, said she always appreciated how he was a blue-collar worker who slipped comfortably into the mayor's chair.
“He was just an all-round guy and very well liked.&rdquo
He was president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario in his final term on council, she noted, and he always kept abreast of goings-on at city hall. In fact, he dropped into city hall a year ago during budget deliberations.
NORRIS visited Mr. RUTHERFORD last Sunday, shortly after she'd heard he was in the hospital.
“We had a nice visit but I knew that he was extremely ill... But he still had the twinkle in his eye and the smiles.&rdquo
The arrival of some of Owen Sound's industrial plants also coincided with Mr. RUTHERFORD's terms of office, NORRIS added.
The family released a list of 18 clubs and boards to which Mr. RUTHERFORD belonged, ranging from the board of governors at Georgian College to the North Star Masonic Lodge to the Owen Sound Jaycees. His family declined to comment on Mr. RUTHERFORD's passing in a note sent from Breckenridge-Ashcroft Funeral Home.
In an interview on the eve of the 2000 municipal election, Mr. RUTHERFORD reflected on his political life.
“I had love for the city and I wanted to get involved,” said Mr. RUTHERFORD, who owned a downtown sign business for many years. “I was fortunate enough to be able to have the time, as my father and my stepbrother both said they'd run the shop while I worked at running the city.
“It's something you really have to love and enjoy, because you do take a lot of criticism. You're close to the people. They can pick up the phone and phone you and tell you what they think.&rdquo
He tried unsuccessfully to unseat both Progressive Conservative member of Parliament Gus MITGES and Liberal member of provincial parliament Eddie SARGENT. SARGENT had preceded him as mayor.
“I ran against Eddie a couple of times, but that's what you call ass-burning learning,” he said with a laugh.
Robert Edward RUTHERFORD is survived by his wife, Shirley J. RUTHERFORD (née EBY,) was father of Ross WARD and his wife Penny, Brent RUTHERFORD, Catherine and her husband Bob WEBBER and Rahnda YULE. He leaves eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, his brother Tim RUTHERFORD and his wife Violet. Predeceased by his brothers Paul, Jerry and Peter.
A private family service has been held. Friends are invited to a come-and-go reception in the Bay Room of the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 13. Donations to the Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre Foundation M.R.I. fund or to the Shriner's Hospital were what Mr. RUTHERFORD wished.

SARGENT, John " Jack" A.▼
December 30th, 1980.
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
- Love Sally and Family.

Norman LEVINE, Novelist And Poet: 1923-2005
Known as a writer's writer, his short stories have been compared with work by Alice Munro and Mavis Gallant
By Rebecca CALDWELL, Thursday, June 16, 2005, Page S11
Canada made writer Norman LEVINE; a cool reception in Canadian publishing made him leave the country. Now, the next generation's writers are rediscovering his work.
A gifted novelist and a poet, Mr. LEVINE was best known in writing circles for his short stories. His 10 collections are often referred to with the same reverence as work by Alice Munro or Mavis Gallant.
"He was a writer's writer," said Toronto-based Newfoundlander Michael WINTER, the author of The Big Why, who met him in 1993 when Mr. LEVINE was in Saint John's for a reading. The two kept up a regular correspondence. On Monday, Mr. WINTER received a letter from Mr. LEVINE thanking him for an article about his passion for Mr. LEVINE's work that appeared in Brick magazine, the Canadian literary journal. Mr. WINTER counts Mr. LEVINE's sophisticated, sparse modernism in collections such as Thin Ice (1979) as a direct influence on his writing.
"He had a strange relationship with [his] Canadian audience," said Mr. WINTER. " His style is not one that appeals to a lot of people, but a lot of writers marvel at his talent.... His economy of so little saying so much -- when you try to write like that, you realize how hard it is to capture things accurately and truthfully with very few words."
Mr. LEVINE is, however, best known to the public for his controversial 1958 travelogue-social critique Canada Made Me, based on research from a three-month cross-country journey in 1956. The work was not complimentary to a country then stumbling awkwardly toward its cultural and national adolescence.
"I wondered why I felt so bitter about Canada," he wrote in Canada Made Me. "It was foolish to believe that you can take the throwouts, the rejects, the human kickabouts from Europe and tell them: Here is your second chance. Here you can start a new life. But no one ever mentioned the price you had to pay, and how much of yourself you have to betray."
Although it had been commissioned by Putnam and Sons in Britain and by McClelland and Stewart in Canada, M&S publisher Jack McClelland was so aghast at the manuscript that he would print only 500 copies to honour the contract. Canada Made Me would not have a major Canadian release until 1979.
"It was a very unboosterish book that did him in with all the powers that were in Canada," said John METCALF, a friend of Mr. LEVINE as well as his later editor at the Porcupine's Quill, which republished several volumes by Mr. LEVINE, including Canada Made Me in 1993.
"Norman realized that Canadian publishing was closed to him, so he went to England." He lived there for the next 30 years, "where he wrote amazingly inventive short stories and he was heralded as a genius all over England and Europe." In Canada, however, nobody took any notice whatsoever, said Mr. METCALF.
"In part, it was because of the very fact that he had chosen to go away, but also [because of] the rise of Canadian nationalism as a sort of all-consuming force in intellectual and cultural matters in the country. It basically declared both Norman and Mavis GALLANT as traitors to the country. Norman paid the price."
Born to Orthodox Jewish parents in Ottawa in 1923, Mr. LEVINE was raised in the city's predominantly Jewish neighbourhood of Lower Town. He served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a tail gunner during the Second World War, returning to Canada to study English literature at McGill University. After earning his B.A. and M.A., he won a scholarship to King's College, London, to pursue his PhD on the works of Proust and T.S. Eliot.
Mr. LEVINE had married Englishwoman Margaret PAYNE in 1952, and the two settled in St. Ives, where they would raise three daughters and befriend the burgeoning artistic community -- including abstract expressionist painters such as Francis Bacon, Terry Frost and Patrick Heron. The new intellectual circle would have a profound impact on his work.
"He was around a great deal of technical talk all the time about technique, which he transferred from visual terms into terms of rhetoric, so he was absorbing the lessons of painters and ways of looking and forging his own style," said Mr. METCALF. "He was forging a style that was quite new, fragmentary and imagistic. He was stripping ruthlessly down to the bone, the language got cleaner and cleaner. He denied all the conventional expectations of rhythms."
Living in St. Ives, and not in London or Paris, also gave him a chance to cultivate his outsider's perspective, said Mr. METCALF another of his motivations for leaving Canada. "He'd made the decision to leave on cultural grounds, but also on the grounds that he was an outsider in every aspect of his personality: as a Jew, as a writer, he liked to be on the margins of things, looking in."
Regardless of his reputation within Canada, Mr. LEVINE's writing was treasured outside of the country, particularly in Germany, where Nobel laureate Heinrich Boll worked on translations of Mr. LEVINE's stories for German editions.
Apart from a brief return to Toronto in the early eighties, and some time in France with his second wife Anne SARGINSON, from whom he later separated (Margaret PAYNE died of cancer in 1978,) Mr. LEVINE he made his life in Britain. However, he never forgot the country of his birth, and the country was apparently beginning to remember him. In 2002, he was named the winner of the Writers Trust of Canada Matt Cohen Award, only the second recipient of the prestigious lifetime achievement award. His last book, The Ability to Forget, was published in 2003.
"It was odd that having lived in Britain for 50 years, he still considered himself very much a Canadian. Canada was his world. I think he found it very difficult that he wasn't accepted, but he understood why," said his daughter Cassie FLINT, a high-school English teacher who lived near her father in Barnard Castle, Country Durham.
"He was thrilled by talk from Canadian publishers interested in reissuing his books," she said.
His death came as a shock, said Ms. FLINT. Although he had been seeing a consultant for some heart problems and suffered from blackouts for the past 18 months, he was quite fit and active, and was even at work on another short story.
Norman LEVINE was born in Ottawa on October 22, 1923. He died in County Durham, England, on Tuesday of a suspected heart attack following a fall. He was 81.

MAHER, Edward Gerard " Gerry"
Retired Reinsurance Executive. Devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, beloved brother, uncle and friend, passed away suddenly November 26, 2005 at Lee Memorial Hospital, Fort Myers, Florida as a result of injuries sustained from a fall. Gerry was a model of faith, fortitude and love of family. He was a respected business executive, having graduated from Fordham in 1958, and worked for Guy Carpenter Reinsurance for over 35 years. In his later years, he was responsible for opening branches in many countries all over the world. Eighteen of his years with Guy Carpenter were spent in Toronto, Canada, where he raised his children. He forged many Friendships among his colleagues, here at home and internationally. Gerry was known to be a model of good stewardship in all aspects of his professional endeavours. When he retired, he offered his knowledge through volunteer efforts with Service Corps of Retired Executives, and parish finance administration for the parishes he attended. Gerry was a wondeful family man. He was born to John and Anne (DURCAN) MAHER, October 16, 1927, in the shadows of Mt. Nephin in Co. Mayo, Ireland. In his youth he participated in many athletic and scholastic adventures including boxing and drama. Gerry came to America in 1947, and worked for his Uncle Jack DURCAN while putting himself through college. He stayed very close to his 14 siblings in Ireland, England and New York. In 1952 he met the love of his life, Eileen STEEL, who survives him. They were married June 2, 1956. Together they raised seven children. Through perseverance and sacrifice, Gerry assured that each of his children could go to college. He often reminded his children of the value and importance of a liberal arts education. Gerry's greatest delight came from watching his grown children start their own families; he was very proud of his 19 grandchildren. He hoped to positively impact the next generation through family gatherings where many humorous stories were shared along with an appreciation of the family history and heritage. He was, above all else, a man of faith, devoted to daily reception of the Eucharist and recitation of the rosary. He was a member of St. Andrew Catholic Church in Cape Coral, Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Chatham, New Jersey, and St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Oakville, Ontario. He actively offered his time, talent and treasure to the church, especially through his volunteer work with the Corpus Christi Parish; as the mediator of the parish pastoral council at St. Andrew in Cape Coral; the St. Vincent de Paul Society, A.F.C.A.A.M. (African Caribbean American Ministry) and as a lector and Eucharistic Minister. He was a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. The best lessons of faith were taught by his lived example. In 2002, his son Brian died tragically, and this left a hole in Gerry's heart that never mended. We are comforted to know that father and son are now united in the presence of Christ, and that Gerry's heart no longer aches. We have lost our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Our consolation is our faith in the day we will see him again, in his eternal happiness. In his 78 years Gerry touched the minds, hearts and souls of many. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Seamus MAHER of Manchester, England, and his son Brian MAHER of Charlotte, North Carolina. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Eileen; children Kevin (Lucy) MAHER of Chatham, New Jersey Phyllis (David J.) FLORIAN of Kalamazoo, Michigan; Diane (Philip) SARIKAS of Beaverton, Oregon; Clare (David) EMERY of Calgary, Canada; Carol (William) MURRAY of Chatham, New Jersey; Patrick (Kim) MAHER of Beaverton, Oregon; his daughter-in-law Barbara (Davren) MAHER; nineteen grandchildren; and thirteen of his siblings, Noreen GAVIN, Anthony MAHER, Kathleen MAHER, Muiradack MAHER, all of Ireland; Grace COCK, Julia GORZKIEWICZ of England; Anne DINNEGAN of Cape Coral; Patrick MAHER, John MAHER, Frank MAHER, Theresa COY
