Catherine
Nigrini (née
CLARK,) born in Toronto, Ontario, died
peacefully in her sleep due to complications from lung cancer
on the morning of Thursday, January 13, 2005 in Canmore, Alberta.
She was predeceased by her husband, Andrew, and is survived by
her daughter, Jennifer, and son, Peter.
After completing her primary education at Branksome Hall, Cathy
continued her education at Trinity College, University of Toronto
earning a Bachelor's of Science in Geology in 1962. Four years
later she received her Ph.D. in Micropaleontology from the University
of Cambridge with a dissertation on marine micropaleontology.
Throughout her life Cathy continued to pursue her scientific
career, publishing numerous papers and participating in 6 oceanic
research voyages. She was the first female to sail on the Glomar
Challenger in 1968 from Hoboken, New Jersey, to Dakar, Senegal,
a journey that produced important substantiating evidence for
the existence of the mid-Atlantic ridge and the theory of plate
tectonics. In later years, she also sailed on the Joides Resolution,
and Marion Dufresne, in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Cathy spent 28 years in the United States living in Lexington,
Massachusetts and
La Habra, California. During this time she
was active in the lives and education of her children through
parent-teacher organizations, volunteering in the schools, and
working in the high school library system. Cathy developed numerous
life-long Friendships and discovered an avid interest in quilting
while in the states.
Five years ago Cathy and Andy came home to Canada settling in
Canmore, Alberta. Cathy spent equal time pursuing her love of
quilting, hiking in the Canadian Rockies, and traveling. She
also dedicated a great deal of her time to the development of
the Canmore Museum and Geoscience Centre. Cremation has taken
place. Her family has established a fund with the museum in her
memory. Donations can be made to: The Canmore Museum and Geoscience
Centre, 902B 7th Ave., Canmore, Alberta, Canada, T1W 3K1.

15-year-old's death renews call for crosswalk
By Dale Anne
FREED,
Staff
Reporter
Neighbours in the area where a Toronto teen was killed while
crossing a busy Scarborough street say they've been demanding
a stoplight or crosswalk there without success.
Parisa Kabir
BHUYAN, a 15-year-old Grade 10 student at Riverdale
Collegiate Institute, was only a few blocks from home when she
was struck by three cars as she got off a Toronto Transit Commission
bus near Danforth Rd. and St. Clair Ave. E.
She had just left the northbound Danforth bus at Linwood Ave.
when she bounded into heavy traffic at about 7: 30 p.m. Tuesday.
"We need a crosswalk here, or a stoplight," said Tony
PALMA,
who heard brakes screeching from inside his home across the street.
"A lot of people have been hit by cars on this street. I know
at least five people who have been hit by cars over the last
10 years," said
PALMA.
"It's 60 km/h here, but cars typically fly down this street at
70 or 80 km/h. They drag-race on this street, too."
"We've been begging for a crosswalk here,' said long-time resident
Gerry Damovski.
The driver of a northbound Chevy Lumina whose car struck the
girl as he passed the bus appeared to be driving within the speed
limit, said a witness.
While Parisa's family made funeral preparations, Friends and
classmates were undergoing grief counselling at her school, where
the flag flew at half-mast yesterday.
"She (Parisa) was very well-known, a wonderful all-round student.
She participated in a number of different clubs," said principal
Ralph NIGRO. "
Our big focus was dealing with the young people
who were quite upset."
Parisa, a member of the Muslim Students Association, was a happy
teen who offered support to students trying to fast during Ramadan,
said a friend.
She was a talented dancer and had entered a contest at her school
that was to take place next month, her Friends said.
"It was very tragic event... sad news involving a beloved student
at the school,"
NIGRO told the students over the public address
system yesterday morning as they observed a moment of silence.
"We're all saddened by it."
The investigation continues.
