Motorcyclist dies after crash
By Sharon HO,
Free
Press
Reporter
A 19-year-old Perth County man is dead after crashing in what
police termed a motorcycle race.
But another teenager involved in the Thursday night crash denied
the two were racing.
Eric WOUTERS was at a house party with 18-year-old Chris
OTTEN,
both from St. Paul, when they decided to race on a country road,
Perth County Ontario Provincial Police said yesterday.
The road, Line 26, is about 10 kilometres southwest of Stratford.
"They were travelling well in excess of the speed limit (80 kilometres
an hour,)" Const. Glen
CHILDERLEY said.
OTTEN said he didn't know
WOUTERS well and they were joking around
when they decided to go for a ride. They rode for slightly less
than a kilometre before the crash, he said.
"He was ahead of me when he got into a speed wobble -- the front
end of his motorcycle started shaking.
"Then he lost control. He went down in front of me. I hit the
brakes hard and flew over the handlebars."
A resident called the Ontario Provincial Police, who arrived
at 11 p.m. to find the men lying in a corn field.
Both were taken to Stratford General Hospital where
WOUTERS died.
OTTEN was released after being treated for a broken wrist and
burns on his knees, arm and back. He also received stitches on
a foot and elbow.
OTTEN said he was driving his boss's motorcycle and had only
driven a motorcycle three or four times before.
Police said
OTTEN has a motorcycle licence. It was not immediately
clear whether
WOUTERS had one.
An autopsy was to be performed on
WOUTERS yesterday.

Great
Uncle of Hannah,
Miles, Nathaniel, Gwen, Kyla and Emma. Pete was born in Hillegom,
The Netherlands and was 11 years old when his family immigrated
to Canada. They settled in the London area with the dream of
building a business. Pete's destiny was to work in the greenhouse.
From a very young age, he loved to accompany his father to the
greenhouses where he worked. So while his parents worked elsewhere
to provide a steady income, Pete was instrumental in the growth
of the family business from its inception. Eventually he took
over the business from his parents and has steadily and successfully
built it to what it is today. Through the years he employed many
family members and students and taught them an admirable work
ethic. He worked right along with his staff and found it very
difficult when he became ill and could no longer work. Pete was
an admired Boy Scout Leader and a founding member of the London
and District Florists Association. Special thanks to Dr.
KERR,
Dr. PERERA and Mary Liz. Your compassion for and care of Pete
during his four years of treatment greatly helped ease his journey.
Also thank you to the special women (ie Nurses) of Victorial
Hospital who helped him through his final week. Pete touched
the lives of all who knew him! He will be sadly missed and fondly
remembered. Cremation has taken place. Memorial visitation will
be held in the Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North
(2 blocks north of Oxford) on Thursday from 6: 00-9:00 p.m. as
well as one hour prior to the memorial service. The family invites
all to attend the celebration of his life on Friday, November
11th, 2005 at 11: 00 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. Pete's ashes
will then be inurned at St. Peter's Cemetery. Memorial contributions

died in 1961 leaving behind a daughter Marian. In 1962 he married
Eleanor NICKERSON.

Edith FIRTH,
Librarian And Scholar: 1927-2005
Historian who wrote the book on early Toronto was a librarian
with a gift for inspired research, writes Sandra
MARTIN.
Although
she retired in 1982, the Toronto Public Library still profits
from her work
By Sandra MARTIN,
Saturday,
July 30, 2005, Page S9
A woman of impeccable intellectual standards, Edith
FIRTH edited
landmark collections of documents about the early history and
culture of Toronto. As head of Canadian manuscripts at the Toronto
Public Library for 30 years, she belonged to the tradition of
scholar/librarians -- professionals who publish their own research
while providing the tools that enable others to write and study.
"She created a scholarly haven for historians and geographers
in the Baldwin Room," said geographer John
WARKENTIN, who first
met her as a graduate student in the early 1950s. "Aside from
leading just about everybody and their brother to the materials
that they built their reputations on, she was very important
as a historian," said writer Stephen
OTTO. "
Almost anything she
put on paper herself will stand the test of time."
"She was much more than capable," said historian Maurice
CARELESS.
"She was very confident and rightly so because she knew what
she was doing. I felt a great sense of trustworthiness in her
work." As for her books, "they really were very good."
Tall, elegant and reserved, she had a quick sharp wit that she
shared with close Friends and confidants. While clumsy or inept
researchers were treated courteously and given access to the
documents they requested, she was known to mutter: "That man
is a menace."
"We are still reaping the benefit of what she did throughout
her career," said David
KOTIN, her successor as manager, special
collections, at the Toronto Public Library. "She put her stamp
on them and the staff." The library's holdings now include 25,000
books relating to Canada published before 1900, about 30,000
broadsides, posters and ephemera and 80,000 pictures.
Edith Grace
FIRTH grew up in North Bay, Ontario, where her geologist
father had taken up teaching high-school science. The youngest
of four children of Thomas and Amy
FIRTH, she left home in the
late 1940s to attend the University of Toronto, graduating with
an honours degree in modern history and a degree in library science.
After graduation, she joined the staff of the Toronto Public
Library, where she worked in general reference. In 1952, she
was put in charge of the Treasure Room, where the library's rare
books, especially Canadiana, were housed.
She began studying for a master's degree in history in the early
1950s while continuing to work at the Toronto Public Library
and to prepare her first publication, Guide to the Manuscript
Collections in the Toronto Public Libraries, which was issued
in 1954.
Prof. WARKENTIN, the geographer, met her in J.M.S.
CARELESS's
senior seminar on the history of Old Ontario at that time. They
were both a little older than the other students and they "hit
it off together." He remembers her "steely regard" for good scholarship.
"Her standards were very high, and she was quite independent-minded."
Prof. CARELESS remembers her as "highly capable and very engaging
and intelligent." She never finished the graduate degree, perhaps
because she was doing historical research in her job and didn't
feel the need of another qualification. In 1961, she completed
Early Toronto Newspapers, 1793-1867, a catalogue of newspapers
published before Confederation in the Town of York and the City
of Toronto.
When the Toronto Public Library opened its Reference Library
Addition in its building at St. George and College Streets in
1960, Ms. FIRTH was put in charge of the new Baldwin Room of
Manuscripts and Canadiana (named after Reformer Robert Baldwin,
an early advocate of responsible government) and the Toronto
Room, which housed current and bound volumes of Toronto newspapers
and the Early Toronto Picture Collection.
She and Prof.
WARKENTIN renewed their Friendship when they met
up again in the early 1960s as volunteers with the Champlain
Society, an organization devoted to increasing public access
to and awareness of our documentary heritage. "She was the general
editor of the Ontario series and I was elected to the council
[of the Champlain Society]," he said. "We were quite junior members,"
at least compared to the "titans of Canadian history" on the
board at the time -- a list that included W.L. Morton, Donald
Creighton, C.P. Stacey, W.K. Lamb (Dominion archivist and the
first national librarian of Canada) and Leslie Frost, the recently
retired premier of Ontario. "And there was Edith -- shy and reserved,
but, if she made any remarks, they listened because it was very
clear that she was respected as a scholar."
The early 1960s was an optimistic time for Canadian studies in
the run-up to the centennial celebrations. Ontario, and its capital
city, were no exception. It was in this era, when public money
was available to underwrite large historical projects, that Ms.
FIRTH made her mark as the editor of The Town of York, 1793-1815,
which was published by University of Toronto Press and the Champlain
Society in 1962 (with financial support from the Ontario government,
thanks largely to Mr. Frost and his successor, John Robarts).
She had spent more than three years amassing and editing documents
related to the early history of Toronto from the library's own
collections, the federal and provincial archives and many other
repositories and historical societies in Canada and the United
States.
In a review in The Globe, Col.
STACEY, the military historian,
declared The Town of York "the most important book on the history
of Toronto in many years." He described it as "a big handsome
volume of documents" from "the day in 1793 when Col. and Mrs.
John Graves
SIMCOE and the Queen's Rangers arrived to found the
settlement, down to the end of the War of 1812, during which
the place was twice raided by the Americans."
Five years later, on the eve of the centennial year, Ms.
FIRTH
compiled The Town of York, 1815-1834: A Further Collection of
Documents of Early Toronto. She pushed the story ahead to the
incorporation of "dirty little York" into the city we know as
Toronto and the election of journalist William Lyon
MacKENZIE
as its first mayor.
By then, the newly minted Toronto, which had more than 9,000
inhabitants and was the biggest town in Upper Canada, had survived
the cholera epidemic of 1832 and the nascent battles between
MacKENZIE the reformer and the members of the ruling oligarchy
later known as the Family Compact. In reviewing this volume for
The Globe, Col.
STACEY praised Ms.
FIRTH for "the skill and ingenuity
with which she has hunted documents from their hiding places
and explained them, and for the lucid introduction with which
the volume begins."
Prof. WARKENTIN was a frequent user of the Baldwin Room, which
moved to the new Raymond Moriyama facility on Yonge Street that
was opened as the Metro Toronto Reference Library in the early
1970s. He had many occasions to watch Ms.
FIRTH in action on
the floor, or in her office "scribbling away on her research"
and attending to administrative work.
Of course, she wasn't working all the time. She and her older
sister, Mary, an English teacher, lived in a house in Etobicoke,
cared for their widowed mother and attended to an older sister
who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. When they could, the two
sisters travelled -- mainly to England -- and collected commemorative
China, a passion that had begun when Edith's father had given
her a plate celebrating the young Princess Elizabeth after the
coronation of George Virgin Islands.
After
Mary died in 1975, Ms.
FIRTH continued to build the collection,
which eventually included a Charles II plate from 1673, wares
celebrating William and Mary and the Glorious Revolution of 1688
and a 1722 mug mourning the death of Queen Anne. The collection
of nearly 400 pieces, which was displayed on shelves in the recreation
room in her basement, was eventually sold at auction for £160,000
at Christie's in London in 1999.
She retired in 1982 at 55, perhaps with the intention of writing
more books or devoting more time to her hobbies and her nieces
and nephews. The following year, she published Toronto in Art:
150 Years Through Artists' Eyes to coincide with the city's sesquicentennial.
The selection was limited to 70 works by 130 artists chosen for
their historical value in depicting the city from 1834 to 1983.
It won the City of Toronto Book Award in 1984.
Writer Stephen
OTTO met her first as a library user and then
came to know her well when he headed up the Ontario Heritage
Conservation program in the mid-1970s. The odd thing, says Mr.
OTTO, was that she didn't write more actively or productively
after she retired. It was "almost as if she wanted to throw away
her scholarship," he said. Instead, she indulged her passion
for Dandie Dinmont dogs, a breed of Scottish terriers.
In the past few years, the family affliction of Alzheimer's disease
began flexing its deadly tentacles. Lawyer Joseph
CERMAK (a dear
friend who met her after he arrived as a refugee from Czechoslovakia
in 1949 and found a job as an assistant at Toronto Public Library)
kept a caring watch over her, organizing a housekeeper and finally
a nursing home a few weeks ago.
Edith Grace
FIRTH was born in Lindsay, Ontario, on January 27,
1927. She died of Alzheimer's disease in Toronto on July 23,
2005. She was 78. She is survived by a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law,
six nieces and nephews and their families.

CRONE,
Ruth
(LARSON)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ruth
CRONE on Tuesday, August 9th, 2005 at Lakeshore Lodge in Toronto.
Her strength and determination were an inspiration to all who
knew her. She will be greatly missed by her children Harvey and
his wife Bea; Judy and her husband Al and her grandchildren Jordan,
Charlotte and Ewan. Although she left Illinois many years ago,
her heart has always remained with her sisters Robin, Marie and
Jeanette and her brother Charles. She will also be missed by
her many Friends at The Church of Saint John The Divine, St. David's
Village and Lakeshore Lodge. We would like to thank Doctors
OTTOWAY
and TEITEL and the Staff at St. Michael's Hospital for their
efforts to help Ruth cope with Crohns Disease and Multiple Myeloma.
We would also like to extend a special and heartfelt thank you
to everyone at Lakeshore Lodge for their compassion and kind,
considerate care. Friends will be received at Giffen-Mack "Scarborough"
