Downtown shooting leaves 2 dead
Mayor calls Prime Minister's Office over growing problem of gun
smuggling from United States
By Unnati GANDHI,
Tuesday,
August 9, 2005, Page A8
Homicide investigators combed through Toronto's latest crime
scene yesterday, still finding shell casings hours after a downtown
shooting left two people dead and sent one to hospital during
another weekend of gun violence.
At the intersection of Maitland Place and Homewood Avenue, police
forensic officers placed seven pylons on a patch of grass indicating
new evidence by a blood-soaked white jersey with flies hovering
over it.
One investigator found a shell casing in a gutter by the jersey
and took it away for testing, while others analyzed a bullet
hole in the side wall of a house next to the crime scene.
Just before 4 a.m. yesterday, gunfire erupted near the popular
Phoenix nightclub on Sherbourne Street, where police found 19-year-old
Ali Mohamud
ALI, the city's 41st homicide victim, shot in the
head and a 20-year-old man with non-life-threatening injuries.
Minutes later, a police cruiser was flagged down at nearby Jarvis
and Bloor Streets. Inside a car was 23-year-old Loyan Mohammed
AHMED suffering from multiple gunshots. He died later in hospital.
While certain neighbourhoods in Toronto have been the scene of
more than 20 shootings in the past two weeks, resulting in six
homicides, Mayor David
MILLER maintained that the increased gun
violence in the city is an anomaly.
"What is happening with these shootings is not Toronto," he told
a news-media briefing yesterday afternoon, which Toronto Police
Chief Bill Blair also attended.
"And Torontonians are not going to tolerate a city where guns
are used to settle disputes between people."
While mayor and the chief said steps are being taken to prevent
more gang-related violence, there have been no arrests in the
three most recent slayings.
Efforts such as redeploying about 50 uniformed police officers
to the northwest corner of the city since last Thursday has left
Chief Blair looking to fill gaps in other neighbourhoods after
yesterday's incidents.
"We also want to assure those in our most vulnerable communities
that officers will be redeployed from across the city and from
across the service, without depleting resources in all of our
neighbourhoods because public safety in all of our neighbourhoods
of Toronto is important," he said.
"We are finding ways within our organization to move officers
in uniform into these neighbourhoods."
Chief Blair reported that police have seized 2,170 guns since
the beginning of the year. Half of the guns used in crimes in
the city had been smuggled from the United States, underscoring
an issue Mr.
MILLER brought up during a spate of violence last
week that saw one person killed and five wounded by gunfire,
including a four-year-old boy.
"There's no question that there are more guns being used in crimes
and it's a serious issue," Mr.
MILLER said yesterday, adding
that he had spoken to the Prime Minister Paul Martin's office
yesterday.
"The Prime Minister's Office assured me that they're already
working to try to deal with the issue of gun smuggling."
On Sunday night, two men aged 27 and 17 were taken to hospital
with non-life-threatening injuries after what police said may
have been a drive-by-shooting in the Markham Road and Eglinton
Avenue East area.
On Friday night, 27-year-old Melbourne
WHITTICK was shot and
killed in the city's northeast while waiting for a bus on Victoria
Park Avenue. He had become involved in an altercation with two
men and died of a single shot to the abdomen.
"We have seen that there's a significant increase in the number
of homicides that have taken place in the city as a result of
firearm use and we're also seeing a great deal of that increase
in that much of that violence is taking place in very public
places," Chief Blair said.
He stressed that in these cases, the public's help is still what
is going to catch the offenders, citing a fourfold increase in
the number of calls to Crime Stoppers in the past week.
"We have received a record number of calls to Crime Stoppers
and I think that reflects the concerns that the community and
the citizens of Toronto have about the violence we have experienced."
Near the Maitland-Homewood crime scene yesterday, with the beeping
of a police metal detector in the background, area resident Joanne
BRIGDEN said violence was bound to have affected her neighbourhood
sooner or later and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
"It was a matter of time before our area was hit," said Ms.
BRIGDEN,
whose house backs onto the Phoenix nightclub.
But the gun violence of the past few weeks is not scaring her,
she added.
"Maybe there's a little increase in crime, but unless you assign
a cop to every criminal," it's not going to stop any time soon,
she said.

Man charged with murder in stabbing of taxi driver
By Unnati GANDHI,
With▼ a report from Jennifer
LEWINGTON, Wednesday,
September 7, 2005, Page A14
A 42-year-old Richmond Hill taxi driver was stabbed to death
during an apparent robbery very early yesterday in Don Mills,
an area residents call quiet and safe.
About 3: 40 a.m., a man living in the apartment unit next to where
the taxicab was parked was awakened by two short blasts of a
horn.
"There was a whole lot of commotion and I woke up and my thought
was, 'People are moving out this early?' Because the door is
open and there's people going in and out. I didn't realize they
were police officers," said the 44-year-old salesman who resides
at the Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue apartment building.
He did not want to be identified.
From his bedroom window, he could see the taxi driver's head
leaning in the driver's seat.
"I was groggy and sleepy. I looked out and saw a guy sitting
with his head tilted toward the passenger side. I think, you
know, he's taking a snooze waiting for his fare. I didn't think
too much of it."
An hour later, about 4: 45 a.m., police took two young men into
custody from inside the building before releasing them a few
hours later.
Toronto
Police
Constable Kristine
BACHARACH said the two men
were no longer considered suspects.
Police then arrested an 18-year-old man and charged him with
second-degree murder. Constable
BACHARACH said officers aren't
looking for more suspects.
She added that police will be going through the digital video
footage captured from inside the cab for any other clues.
Morteza KHORASSANI was taken to Sunnybrook and Women's College
Health Sciences Centre where he was pronounced dead. He is the
city's 51st homicide of the year.
The resident described the area as typically quiet. "The sixth
floor is all elderly citizens," he said. "This used to be a safe
neighbourhood. But people are already thinking of moving. It
only takes one [incident] to convince a lot of people to move."
Another resident, who lives on the fourth floor, said he is thinking
of moving out in the next month or so.
"I can't be bothered with it. I've learned from past experience
not to mingle in other people's affairs," said the 53-year-old
man who also did not want to be identified.
"There was a lot of noise all summer long. Not so much arguments,
a little bit of swearing."
The man said he moved to the area five years ago because he had
heard good things about it.
"It is fairly safe. It's just something that happened out of
the blue. It's one of the safest areas that I've been around
in Toronto."
A taxi driver who was in the area yesterday said he couldn't
believe what had happened.
"We have to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and we are
hardly paying our bills. No vacation, nothing. And then things
like this happen. It's very sad," said Hamid, who would give
only his first name.
"I work 84 hours a week. I should be a millionaire by now, but
I can't even pay my bills."
As he left a meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board, Mayor
David Miller said: "I am very concerned about the safety of our
taxi drivers. It is a very dangerous job and it is very difficult
in the middle of the night. The initiatives that have been taken,
especially the cameras, are quite effective. Obviously, the circumstances
of this one [incident] will be reviewed and there is anything
more that can be learned we'll learn from it."
Shane SMITH of Toronto has been charged with second-degree murder
and is scheduled to appear in court today.

Neighbours are relieved arrest made
Police find human remains 100 kilometres from where Alicia
ROSS
was last seen
By Unnati GANDHI and Timothy
APPLEBY,
With▲ a report from Oliver
MOORE,
Thursday,
September 22, 2005, Page A17
Sitting around the kitchen table, four Friends of Alicia
ROSS's
family tried to calm their nerves with a cup of tea yesterday
afternoon. They couldn't bear to be outside where lines of police
tape surrounded the neighbouring home of 31-year-old Daniel
SYLVESTER,
who surrendered to police and is charged with second-degree murder.
"Why didn't he do it earlier?" asked Benny
ARONOWITZ, who lives
on Green Lane. "The family had to suffer so much."
One of Mr.
ARONOWITZ's Friends, Nina
REZMOVITZ, said her son,
David, and Ms.
ROSS were good Friends.
"We're all parents, and this is the worst thing that could happen
to any of us," she said. "David and his girlfriend scoured the
ravine for hours. He was so distraught."
Ms. ROSS, 25, was last seen by her boyfriend, Sean
HINE, just
after midnight on August 17 at the home where she lived with
her parents. Police described Mr.
HINE as a person of interest,
but yesterday her next-door neighbour turned himself in.
Hours later, police discovered human remains in two locations.
They said they're confident the remains are those of Ms.
ROSS.
Ontario's chief coroner confirmed the remains were found near
the town of Manilla, about 50 kilometres northeast of Markham,
and near the town of Coboconk, another 40 kilometres north.
Bronte Road, the tree-lined street where the victim lived, was
quiet yesterday except for the forensic investigators who were
scouring the house next door, a home listed as belonging to Grant
SYLVESTER since 1997. The best-selling author died in 1999.
His widow, Olga Mary, and son Daniel continued to live in the
family home. The couple's other son, Robert, had moved to Mississauga.
Although Daniel
SYLVESTER lived in the neighbourhood, he seems
to have left little impression. Shown his photo, numerous local
residents said they had never seen him. Two women who lived within
100 metres of the
SYLVESTER home said working suburbanites invariably
go from their car to their house, barely saying hello to any
but the closest neighbours.
"I don't know the name of the person across the street," said
Angela TORTI, who moved to the area 22 years ago when it was
a new subdivision.
None of the neighbours lingering around the cordoned-off area
claimed to have seen any of the
SYLVESTERs much.
"Everybody today kind of goes their own way. When you have small
children, you go out walking with them and you get to know your
neighbours," Ms.
REZMOVITZ said. "But once your kids are grown,
often you don't know who your neighbours are."
Calls to the
SYLVESTER home and
to Robert's home, office and
cottage were not answered.
Next door to the
SYLVESTER residence, two posters with Ms.
ROSS's
photo were still taped to the back windows of an sport utility
vehicle. A couple arrived to visit Ms.
ROSS's family during the
afternoon, but declined to comment afterward.
Around dinnertime, a police officer prevented a teenage girl
from entering blocked-off Bronte Road. She left a plastic-wrapped
bouquet at the barricade and lit a small candle.
Although some residents said they were shocked to hear that a
neighbour had been arrested, they said they were nevertheless
relieved.
"It's devastating to hear. It shows some degree of a conscience,
turning himself in, but it's like humanizing a monster. This
can't redeem him," said Marc
FINKELSTEIN, who was jogging with
his wife, Simone. "This has paralyzed the neighbourhood. It used
to be such an active neighbourhood. It's nice to know all this
is finally over."
Ms. TORTI said she had been unable to stop worrying about her
daughter, who is living at home while studying at the University
of Toronto.
"I don't go to sleep until she's in," she said. "She's 23, but
honest to God, I don't go to sleep."
About 100 kilometres northeast of the neighbourhood, human remains
that York Regional Police say likely belong to Ms.
ROSS, were
discovered.
Helicopters whirled overhead, police and Ontario Provincial Police
tracker dogs scoured the bush and thick bull rushes over a wide
area north and south of Highway 7. But the focal point of the
search appeared to be just south of the town of Manilla bisected
by Highway 7.
Near the intersection of Simcoe Street and the Seventh Concession,
police tape surrounded a rectangle of thick, damp brush less
than three metres from the roadside. Under a broiling sun, police
with weed whackers cut thick grass and carried it to a York Regional
Police forensic truck.
An officer said his colleagues had been there since early morning.
The seven-hectare (28-acre) property has been for sale since
the beginning of the month, with an asking price of $139,900
and nobody was more surprised to see the flurry of activity than
listing agent Audrey
GRIFFIOEN.
"This is terrible, I can't believe it," she said, explaining
that the property -- partly farm land and partly environmentally
protected -- had recently had a conditional purchase offer.
"He's got to be a real sicko, the guy who did this," she said.
"Killing is bad enough, but hacking up and spreading body parts
all over the countryside.... I'll bet you he just stopped in
his car and chucked it."
Also dismayed was 23-year-old Melissa
NEWBERRY, whose parents
own an 11-hectare (43-acre) parcel of dense brush just north
of Highway 7, where more searching was under way.
"It's kind of scary," she said, recounting a recent incident
in which she was jogging along the road. She said "some creepo
in a yellow car," whom she described as a blond-haired man about
30 years old, appeared to be watching her.
She was advised to report the encounter to one of the numerous
police officers in the area.

MOORHOUSE,
Eleanor -- Dispatch
By Unnati GANDHI,
Saturday,
October 1, 2005, Page M4
Somewhere between travelling through 57 countries, editing geological
reports and meeting former U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Eleanor MOORHOUSE found the time to tell her children all about
it.
One of the last tales she told her two children, Ellen and Owen,
and her three grandchildren was that of the Banana King of New
York. "Who's that, you ask? Well, some guy who took a percentage
of all the bananas that arrived in New York," her daughter says,
laughing. "I'm sure it was true."
"She probably never thought her stories were part of history,
and I'm sure she took a lot of her stories with her."
Ms. MOORHOUSE was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1915, and catapulted
herself to the forefront of everything she did. After getting
a master's degree in geology from Cornell University, then becoming
a civil servant during the Depression, Ms.
MOORHOUSE travelled
to Indonesia, Peru, Mongolia, France, the Philippines and the
Arctic with her geologist husband, Wilson.
She also edited her husband's geology textbook.
"The editor who was handling the book said they had never got
such clean copy before, and believe me, that was my mother's
work," her daughter says. "She just did everything as perfectly
as possible. She came from a family that was extremely intelligent
to survive, you did things really well."
While the years after her husband's death in 1972 were difficult,
Ms. MOORHOUSE kept working hard. She had become a real-estate
agent in the 1960s and moved to Cabbagetown from Islington. She
also continued her travels around the world, always coming back
with stories, and the beginnings of decades-long Friendships
with people she had met abroad.
"She had this richness and I'm sure it was partly from all that
experience she had," her daughter says.
Ms. MOORHOUSE died on September 17 at the age of 90.

Forces instructor dies parachuting at Trenton
By Colin FREEZE and Unnati
GANDHI,
Tuesday,
October 4, 2005,
Page A2
A military paratrooper instructor was killed yesterday during
a training exercise, the second time in as many years that there
has been a fatal accident at Canadian Forces Base Trenton.
Warrant
Officer
Charles
SHEPPARD, 43, was pronounced dead at
12: 45 p.m. on a day of clear skies and light winds, officials
said.
"The cause is under investigation," said Lieutenant Morgan
BAILEY,
a spokeswoman for the military. "The soldier was an experienced
jumper."
She said Warrant Officer
SHEPPARD, who had completed more than
2,500 jumps and had been in the Canadian Forces for 19 years,
was leading a freefall course at the base's Mountain View detachment.
"Warrant Officer
SHEPPARD and I soldiered together for many years
and I knew him as a passionate and professional leader," said
Colonel David
FRASER,
Commander of 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade
Group.
Warrant Officer
SHEPPARD, originally from Galt, Ontario, was
temporarily working at the Canadian Parachute Centre Canadian
Forces Base Trenton. He was attached to the 3rd Battalion of
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in Edmonton.
The parachute centre at Trenton trains hundreds of soldiers for
both military operations and search and rescue missions, and
also the Sky Hawks jumping team, which performs at dozens of
events each year.
In September of 2003, Lieutenant Colonel Mike
BLANCHETTE, the
commander of the Trenton parachute centre, was killed when he
detached his parachute too early as he jumped from a helicopter
above the Bay of Quinte. A coroner eventually determined that
Lt. Col. BLANCHETTE, a 30-year veteran, died an accidental death,
and ruled out equipment failure.
Fatal accidents involving military submarines and Snowbird airplanes
have attracted much attention in recent months, but the Canadian
Forces has also seen its share of parachute problems over the
years.
Earlier this year a "severe landing" caused a soldier to be hospitalized
for serious back and hip injuries, as well as a collapsed vertebrae,
after an accident at the parachute centre.
In 2002, two Alberta soldiers got their parachutes entangled
during search and rescue training, but escaped with only minor
injuries after managing to untangle themselves at the last minute.
In 1998, a soldier broke his leg after hitting a tree during
a performance at the International Air Show in Toronto.
In 1989, nine Canadian paratroopers with the Airborne Regiment
died during a car accident and airplane crash that occurred within
two days. The previous year, a Canadian Forces paratrooper died
during a recreational jump at the Ganonoque airport.
In 1981, a private with the Airborne died on his fourth jump,
a "freak accident".

Pair's death in car deepens distress at school
Students already split over sex-assault, harassment charges against
16 youths
By Unnati GANDHI and Joe
FRIESEN,
Friday,▼
November▼ 18, 2005,
Page A13
A school stunned by the arrest of 16 young people on charges
of sexual assault and harassment was rocked again yesterday by
the death of one of its students.
Police found the bodies of 17-year-old Anna
ZARNOCH, a Grade
12 student at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School, and
William RODRIGUEZ, 22, just after 6 a.m., yesterday in Mr.
RODRIGUEZ's
garage in the city's west end.
Police called the deaths accidental, saying the two probably
died of carbon-monoxide inhalation after the old Cadillac they
were sitting in had been running for hours overnight with the
heater on and the garage door closed.
A police spokeswoman said Ms.
ZARNOCH's death is not related
to the criminal investigation at the school.
"She went to the school, but she was in no way connected to the
sexual-harassment case," Constable Wendy
DRUMMOND said, adding
that Ms. ZARNOCH was not a witness in the case. "At this point,
we're ruling it an accidental death from carbon-monoxide poisoning,"
The teen's death plunged a divided school further into disarray.
Many senior students, some of them facing charges, are waiting
for the court case to begin as well as mourning a classmate's
death. For a school with slightly more than 600 students from
Grades 9 through 12, the effect will likely be significant.
On Monday, 14 students were taken from their classes, arrested
and handcuffed. They joined two others accused in a case that
has sent shockwaves throughout the city. Police allege that a
16-year-old student was sexually assaulted and harassed both
inside and outside the high school for more than a year. In one
incident, police say, the girl was dragged from a school hallway
and assaulted in a stairwell before being taken to a bathroom
and assaulted again.
Staff convened an emergency meeting with students, parents and
police Wednesday night to discuss the impact of the alleged assaults
and the arrests of the 16 students. The event apparently did
little to calm frayed nerves.
Some parents said they were considering removing their children
from the school, while others said their children were afraid
to return. A few students said they were ashamed to wear their
school uniforms in public.
Many students are upset with the way the case was handled.
They say their classmates shouldn't have been arrested at school.
They have accused police and school officials of racism and of
being heavy-handed in dealing with the accused, all of whom are
black. Some have stayed away from school since they attended
a bail hearing for their jailed Friends on Tuesday.
Ms. ZARNOCH lived in a high-rise building just south of the school
near Keele and Finch Avenues.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ, who was her boyfriend, according to family members,
lived in the Lansdowne house near St. Clair Avenue with his mother,
sister and brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law, Al
BARBOZA, said at the home yesterday that
the pair had gone into the garage about 7: 30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ's mother checked on them at about 1 a.m. and thought
they were asleep.
"They stayed in the car the whole night," Mr.
BARBOZA said. "I
can't believe they were out there sleeping, it's so cold."
When the mother found them without any vital signs at about 6
a.m., she called police.
Mr. BARBOZA said he didn't know Ms.
ZARNOCH very well, but knew
that she had been reported missing by her family on Wednesday.
"Whenever he gets a girlfriend, I don't know what he does. He
brings them over here all the time."
While Mr. BARBOZA said that the Cadillac parked in the garage
rarely gets driven, upstairs tenant Anabela

A 17-year-old student died after trying out for the badminton
team with about 35 others at her all-girls private school yesterday
morning.
Jennifer LOU, a boarding student from Taiwan at Bishop Strachan
School, collapsed and fell unconscious about 8 a.m. Staff began
performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation immediately. She was
taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where she was pronounced dead at
9: 30 a.m.
"Obviously, the school is in shock," spokeswoman Sharon
GREGG
said, adding that grief counsellors were called in to talk to
the students.
Ms. LOU had been boarding at the Avenue Road and Spadina Avenue
school for the past two years. Her parents were contacted yesterday
in Taiwan.

Keith WINTERHALDER,
Scientist (1935-2005)
Laurentian University teacher was a meticulous researcher but
the epitome of the eccentric absent-minded professor at home,
writes Sandra
MARTIN.
Importantly, he was the brains behind the
greening of Sudbury, Ontario,
By Sandra MARTIN,
Tuesday,
November 29, 2005, Page S9
Sudbury was not a pretty sight when botanist Keith
WINTERHALDER
arrived to teach at Laurentian University in 1965. Logging, fire,
smelter emissions from the International Nickel Company (Inco)
and soil erosion had wiped out almost all of the vegetation in
the area. The barren soil, lacking the normal mulch from leaves
falling in the autumn, suffered from severe frost in the winter
and overheated in the summer.
Inco had tried sowing grass seeds. They would germinate, but
the roots would wither as soon as they encountered the contaminated
soil surface. After years of experimentation, Prof.
WINTERHALDER
learned, in what came to be called the Winterhalder Method, that
an application of ground limestone could detoxify soil -- not
just in Sudbury but in many areas of the world where mining and
other industrial applications have polluted the environment.
He also discovered that if a sparse grass cover could be established
on a rocky hillside that had been treated with limestone and
fertilizer, seeds from the few existing poplars, willows and
birches in the surrounding area would blow in, germinate and
grow.
"He suggested a lot of different grasses and different soils
and different amounts of lime and fertilizer we could use," said
Tom PETERS, former head of the Agricultural Dept. at Inco. It
was as though the land degraded by the smelter formed a huge
open air laboratory. "We carried on talking as we did different
things and he became quite involved after I retired [in 1984]
in planting trees on the tailings," said Mr.
PETERS.
Prof. WINTERHALDER served as chair of Sudbury's Vegetation Enhancement
Technical Advisory Committee for more than 20 years, initially
preparing an inventory and then producing a case study to show
that the toxic conditions could be reversed. Beginning in 1978,
the Sudbury region established ground cover on more than 3,000
hectares of barren land and cleaned up 1,000 hectares of dead
standing debris. They also planted more than a million trees.
W.E. LAUTENBACK, now director of planning services for the city
of greater Sudbury, was the staff person on Vegetation Enhancement
Technical Advisory Committee. When the Earth Summit in Rio de
Janeiro lauded the region for its environmental stewardship in
1992, Mr. LAUTENBACK compared the honour to winning an Olympic
gold medal. Prof.
WINTERHALDER was extremely important in the
greening of Sudbury, Mr.
LAUTENBACK said. "He was the guy who
pointed the way [with his research] and he was also very committed
to public service. It gave his knowledge back for the public
good."
Prof. WINTERHALDER was also generous and patient with his students.
"I learned more from him than any other professor," said biologist
Peter NOSKO, who did a masters degree at Laurentian.
Although he was meticulous with his field notes and his research
papers, he was the epitome of the eccentric absent-minded professor
in his personal life. He also seemed to have a lucky angel sitting
on his shoulder. "If he were late for a plane it would be delayed,"
said Karen
GANDIER, a former math teacher and his partner for
more than 25 years.
On an Asian field trip he was perched 30 metres above the ground
in a Malaysian rain forest when he dropped his glasses off the
platform into the tree canopy. The next morning he went down
to the ground and found them. Another time, he couldn't shift
his ancient car into forward gear, so he drove it backwards all
the way home from the university. The only tricky part, according
to Ms. GANDIER, was figuring out which side of the street to
drive on after he turned a corner at the street lights.
A linguist who was proficient in a number of languages including
Ojibwa and Russian, he was also an accomplished musician who
sang choral music in a Sudbury choir and loved to play the bagpipes.
Prof. NOSKO remembers working very late in a lab when he was
a student and feeling sorry for himself until he heard the skirl
of the bagpipes coming from the herbarium down the hall and realized
that he wasn't alone. "It was comforting to know that Keith was
in there working, too."
Keith WINTERHALDER was born in Burrington, Shropshire, near the
border between Wales and England, the eldest in a family of four
children. His father, Frederick Albert
WINTERHALDER, was a sports
fisherman and a policeman. Originally watchmakers from the Black
Forest area near Switzerland, the
WINTERHALDERs had emigrated
to London four generations earlier. His mother, Ursula May
(WILLIAMS,)
was a descendant of a long line of Welsh singers and a housewife
who, when Prof.
WINTERHALDER was a child, kept a cow and chickens
and churned her own butter.
He was six years older than Neil, his nearest sibling; 12 years
older than his sister, Sandra, and 14 years older than his brother
Robin, and he "grew up in beautiful countryside on a smallholding
miles from the nearest village," with only a sheepdog as a companion,
according to his sister.
After his family moved to Rhayader in mid-Wales, he attended
local schools before going on to Llandrindod Wells grammar school.
He was "a loved father figure" to his youngest siblings, because
their father, who had joined the air ministry police during the
war, "worked away" for most of their early lives.
"Rob and I were taken for frequent long walks in the old-fashioned
pram through the beautiful Welsh countryside and Keith, even
then, seemed to be able to tell us all about nature." He was
head boy at his grammar school. "He was always ahead of his peer
group at school and was really quite intellectual as a boy --
spending time in the local library reading when his classmates
were doing the more usual boyish activities."
After Llandrindod Wells, he went to the University of Wales at
Aberystwyth, graduating with first-class honours in botany in
1956 and winning a Commonwealth Scholarship to do graduate work
at the University of New England in New South Wales, Australia.
For somebody so intellectually talented and passionate about
his subject, Prof.
WINTERHALDER lacked a conventional curriculum
vitae. He studied and taught botany as a sessional lecturer at
University of New England for six years (until 1962) before taking
up a three-year posting as a research fellow in botany at the
University of Liverpool back in England. In 1963, he accepted
a job as a lecturer in botany at the newly incorporated Laurentian
University and immediately on arriving he became curator of the
university's newly formed herbarium.
He was promoted to assistant professor in 1969 and associate
professor in 1980. After his retirement in 1999, he continued
working at the University Herbarium as curator emeritus and founded
his own company, Wintergreen Ecological Services.
A procrastinator who cared little for credentials, he only belatedly
acquired a masters degree in science from University of New England
in 1970 and he never completed the dissertation for his Ph. D.
degree. The frequently told story is that all his data burned
up in a fire in a lab while he was out in the bush doing field
research.
Zoologist Vic
CLULOW met him in 1968, three years after he arrived
at Laurentian. "He could have got a Ph. D at any time, but he
never did," said Prof.
CLULOW, relating a story about Prof.
WINTERHALDER
being held in such high esteem by his academic colleagues that
he was asked on at least one occasion to serve as an external
examiner for a Ph. D thesis even though he didn't technically
have the qualification himself. "He also helped a lot of undergraduates
and postgraduate students with money, time and space without
ever expecting anything back," said Prof.
CLULOW.
"He was never boring, but often exasperating," said Ms.
GANDIER.
They met after Prof.
WINTERHALDER rented a house in the early
1970s from a colleague who was away on sabbatical and found a
note saying: "For plumbing or dogs, see Karen." They had mutual
interests in skiing, dogs, music and the outdoors, but they always
maintained separate residences.
"Neither of us could stand living with the other full time. Both
of us were real loners," said Ms.
GANDIER.
Besides, she was a
dog person and he was a cat lover. Prof.
WINTERHALDER always
kept a window open in his basement and stray cats and the occasional
raccoon would come in to eat the food he left for them.
About six years ago he was diagnosed with scleroderma, a chronic
connective-tissue disorder that is generally classified as an
autoimmune rheumatic disease. It affected his hands and feet
first, making the joints painful and inflexible, and then progressed
to his lungs and compromised his breathing. He never complained,
according to Ms.
GANDIER. He continued to go on field trips and
conferences, attending one this year in a wheel chair.
Keith WINTERHALDER was born in Shropshire, England, on April
14, 1935. He died in Sudbury, Ontario of complications from scleroderma
on October 29. He was 70. He is survived by his partner, Karen
GANDIER, and by three siblings.

Died peacefully at home on Saturday, November 26, 2005 in her
103rd year. Loving wife of the late Richard John
BROWN, beloved
mother of Jackie, Valerie, Barbara and Gillian. She will be sadly
missed by grandchildren Andrew (Teresa), Peter (Donna), Jennifer
(Steve), Adam, Bill, Ross (Feli), Wendy, Geoff (Yuka) and Sara
(Jason) and 14 great-grandchildren Chris, Amanda, Trevor, Patrick,
Grace, Jordan, Roni, Mary Grace, Romeo, Paul, Michael, Noa, Nellie
and Rachel. Born in England, on the Longleat Estate of the Marquis
of Bath, Dorothy, her husband and four daughters lived in Kent.
During the war she was active in the Woman's British Legion and
the Woman's Institute, helping women to develop new resources
to survive the war without their husbands. After the war, she
was one of three English women chosen to visit Holland to see
how the Woman's Institute had contributed there. In 1949, she
and R.J. and their two younger daughters immigrated to Canada
where they worked for Lady Eaton and lived at Eaton Hall Farm.
R.J. worked on the estate and Dorothy managed the large staff
at the farm hands' boarding house. After three years they moved
to Port Credit where she lived the rest of her life with the
exception of six years when she owned and operated a motel in
Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Her volunteer service included membership
in the league of Women Voters and the Presidency of the Lakeshore
Chapter of the Professional Woman's Club. Dorothy will be remembered
for her soft and gentle nature, her wide and diverse circle of
Friends and the charm and laughter she brought to every room
she entered. She asks that we be not afraid for her, for she
has embarked on "life's last great adventure!" Many thanks to
the Mississauga Community Care Access Centre and Red Cross, Spectrum
Nursing and the Hospice of Peel for the gentle loving caregivers
who enabled Dorothy to stay at home for the last years of her
life and to the Friends and neighbours who surrounded her with
love. Thank you also to Dr. Donald
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON and Karen, and the

Donald Roy
MacKENZIE
By Rosemary
GANLEY,
Tuesday,
October 18, 2005, Page A26
Husband, grandfather, teacher, Arctic guide, farmer, neighbour.
Born July 9, 1932, in Ripley, Ontario Died May 5 in Peterborough,
Ontario, of cancer, aged 72.
Don MacKENZIE was an ordinary man who led an extraordinary life.
He died in Peterborough on May 5, after living courageously with
cancer for several years.
Don's knowledge and love of the natural world led to his becoming
an inspirational teacher of geography, a respected leader of
tours to the High Arctic, and a friendly farmer with a "cut-your-own"
Christmas tree farm and a steam-filled sugar shack.
Born in 1932 in Ripley, in southwestern Ontario, Don came from
a musical family with Scottish roots. His father Roy was a pipe
major and his mother Violet played piano. Each of the four MacKenzie
brothers played an instrument in the MacKenzie Family Band and
Don's was the snare drum.
At 18, Don began teaching in a one-room school in the hamlet
of Lothian, and later, a three-room school in Chesley. During
those early years, teaching also included maintaining a wood
stove. "I kept a pot of creamed corn on the stove for lunches,"
Don once said.
During the summers, while earning his B.A., he met his perfect
match: Joyce
HUXTABLE of Oshawa, who was preparing to teach physical
education. Don and Joyce married in 1957 and raised three children
together.
Not long after they were married, they invested in a cottage
on Lake Weslemkoon, near Bancroft. Summers at the lake were an
important part of Don's life. He was a steward of the lake and
an active member of the Cottagers' Association.
At Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School, Don taught
geography for 23 years. Through his considerable slide collection,
he brought the landscape into the classroom for his students.
Don spent winter weekends volunteering with the Canadian Ski
Patrol System at the local ski hills and Nordic trails. He dedicated
40 years to the organization, as a patroller, instructor, examiner
and member of the national executive. In 1988, Don was honoured
to patrol the Nordic events at the Calgary Olympics.
The north drew Don in a profound way. In 1978, he spent a sabbatical
year in England at Cambridge University's Scott Polar Research
Institute. The next year he was invited to lead a tour to the
Canadian High Arctic. This would be the first of 23 trips over
the next 14 years. Don took his tourists to remote destinations
Grise Fjord, Pond Inlet, Ellesmere Island, Resolute Bay, and
Beechy Island. He was a knowledgeable, organized, and patient
tour leader.
Don spent much of his later life tending the hobby farm where
he and Joyce lived for the past 20 years. His daughter Louise
noted that "he seemed spiritually connected to the land and all
that lives on it. He would buy special trees to encourage birds."
Each year, the MacKenzies welcomed upward of 500 families who
made a seasonal trip to the farm to cut their Christmas tree,
enjoying hayrides and hot chocolate. Don donated part of the
proceeds to Jamaican Self Help, an international development
group he supported in Peterborough. When he was gravely ill,
many long-time MacKenzie Friends came to the farm to prepare
Don's trees for future years.
Don leaves his beloved wife Joyce, his children Ian, Louise and
Janice, and his seven grandchildren, ages 23 to one year.
The night he died, after just three days in palliative care in
Peterborough, a shooting star greeted Joyce and her sister Donna
as they drove back to the farm at midnight.
Shooting star he was, but also a warm, grounded teacher, and
a gifted friend.
Rosemary is Don's friend.
