BELOW, Anna (JANOWSKA)
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Anna BELOW, on March 21, 2005. Wife of the late Timofey BELOW. Loving mother of Annalisa VELLA (Tony,) and Halina SPADA (Frank.) Grandmother of David (Sandra) and Jim (Eva) VELLA and Marissa and Liana SPADA, great-grandmother of Cristina and Olivia. Anna was a remarkable person. She was born in her beloved Ukraine in 1923 during difficult times. As a child she suffered poverty and the death of her mother. At the age of 18, during World War 2, Anna was transported to Germany to work in forced labour camps, where she endured further trials including the death of her first daughter, Julia. Despite all her hardships, Anna had a deep reverence and a fierce joy of life. Anna never received any formal schooling, however, she spoke five languages and self-taught herself to read English. She found immense pleasure in the world of nature and had a passion for growing things. Her gardens were blooming masterpieces. Anna had strong moral convictions and was a natural feminist. Anna was extremely compassionate and she loved animals, especially her pet dogs and birds. Legions of wild birds flocked to her gardens on Jackson's Point, where she also cared for dozens of stray cats and other wildlife. Anna was truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place Wednesday at 12 noon from St. Jerome's Roman Catholic Church (8530 Chinguacousy Rd., Brampton) followed by visitation at the Ward Funeral Home "Brampton Chapel" 52 Main Street South (Hwy. 10), Brampton from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Interment on Thursday at 11 a.m. at Briar Hill Cemetery, Sutton, Ontario. Forever in our hearts, Heaven has received a special soul.

SPALDING, Roger Arnold
In Toronto General Hospital, Saturday, December 17, 2005, of complications from brain cancer. Born on July 21, 1942, in Kitchener, Ontario. Roger studied theology at St Jerome's University in Waterloo and attended Harvard University as a Fulbright Scholar working towards a PhD in English literature. Galvanized by the social turbulence of the late 1960s and increasingly disillusioned by the church's response, Roger abandoned his studies and returned to his order in Canada. Inspired by his sister Angela's involvement in the lesbian community, Roger himself came out and left the church. His strong sense of social justice brought him to the editorial collective of the gay liberation journal The Body Politic as a valuable news writer, and to the steering committee of A.I.D.S. Action Now during the early A.I.D.S. crisis. Roger taught high school English in Toronto until his retirement from Avondale Alternative School in 1999. He then started a second career training as a psychoanalyst with the Institute for the Advancement of Self-Psychology and the Toronto Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. His passion for this new way to serve sustained him until days before his death. Roger was pre-deceased by his parents Gwen and Bill and beloved sister Angie, and survived by Friends and colleagues, and cousins across Canada and in Wales. A memorial gathering will be held in February.

Girl's gifts still sitting under tree
Two families devastated by deadly crash
Locals describe Highway 6 as 'Killer 6'
By Dana BORCEA and Meredith MacLEOD, Torstar News Services, Hamilton Spectator
Hamilton -- Emily PORTO's Christmas presents sat under the tree. Her broken-hearted parents don't know what to do with them.
The 10-year-old girl was one of four family members killed in a horrific car accident late Thursday night.
Emily's mother, Laurie, said she is overcome with grief, but grateful for the outpouring of support her family has received in the days following the tragedy.
"This reminds me what Christmas is all about," she said.
Emily's aunt, Vivian PORTO, was driving the van carrying her niece as well as two of her own children, Azzadine, 10, and Francesco, 13, back from a hockey game in Guelph when she hit a snowdrift on Highway 6 and spun out of control before being broadsided by an oncoming sport utility vehicle.
The highway is nicknamed "Killer 6" by some local residents. The 24-kilometre stretch of road from Highway 403 to the 401 has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early 1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to block snowdrifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
A high volume of traffic was also cited as a contributing factor in the crash.
In response to Thursday night's accident, Dr. David EDEN, the regional coroner, said he is considering calling an inquest into the safety of that stretch of Highway 6.
Police agree the highway can be hazardous.
"Highway 6 can be an unforgiving highway," said Sgt. Cam WOOLLEY of the Ontario Provincial Police highway safety division.
Flamborough Councillor Margaret McCARTHY said the highway falls under the jurisdiction of the province's ministry of transportation. After hearing about the fatal crash, her office forwarded a request to the ministry to erect snow fences along the highway.
McCARTHY said residents have expressed concerns about the highway for years.
"It's a complicated piece of road," she said. "To suggest that there is an easy fix would be negligent."
Gary MISNER, a Freelton resident who travels Highway 6 every day, said the stretch where the PORTOs were killed used to be protected by a snow fence. He happened upon the accident minutes after it happened and said the area was the only snow-covered spot on Highway 6 that night. Strong winds had been blowing for hours, MISNER said.
Sudden drifts on the road, combined with a looming stoplight, make for a dangerous combination, he said.
MISNER said snow fences should be installed to prevent drifting snow from piling up on the highway.
He also said the speed limit should be reduced to 70 km/h and strictly enforced.
"There will be other big accidents along there," MISNER warned.
Emily's aunt, Lisa ULRICH, estimated that close to 200 people had come through the home to offer their condolences to both families. She expects about 1,000 people to attend visitation and funeral services early this week.
Among them will be members of Hamilton's Italian community, minor-hockey families, and family colleagues from the textile, development and hospital industries.
"They've been coming out in droves," ULRICH said on the weekend, pointing to the line of parked cars spilling out of the driveway and down the street.
"To have a quiet, empty house -- especially at this time of the year -- would have made this even harder," she said.
On Saturday, family gathered at the home of Vivian's parents, Anna and Adriano SPALLACCI, with Father Bill TRUSZ, a pastor at Saint Margaret Mary Church.
"They prayed for those that died and for those who survived," said TRUSZ. " They are deeply stricken and just taking it one hour at a time."
Visitation for Vivian, Francesco, Azzadine and Emily PORTO will be held today and tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Friscolanti Funeral Chapel on 43 Barton St. E., Hamilton.
The funeral for all four will be held at 10: 30 a.m. on Wednesday at Saint Margaret Mary Church at 20 Idlewood Ave., Hamilton.
