Kaye SARGENT,
Oxford
County
Libertarian stalwart, dies
Was a candidate in every provincial and federal election since
By Bruce URQUHART, Sun Media, Wed., November 22, 2006
Innerkip -- Kaye
SARGENT, a fixture of Oxford County's political
scene for more than two decades, has died.
SARGENT -- who ran in every provincial and federal election since
1981 -- died Tuesday morning at Woodstock General Hospital.
She was remembered today for her devotion to her family and to
Libertarian principles.
And she was remembered as someone who counted political foes
as her personal Friends.
SARGENT was founder and president of the local Libertarian Party
riding association, as well as deputy leader of the Ontario organization,
which urged voters to put their civil liberties above the needs
of the state.
“She took her politics very seriously,” said Doctor Bruce
HALLIDAY,
a former Tory Oxford member of Parliament, “but that didn't preclude
her from Friendships with people of different political views&hellip
We were always invited to her Christmas party every year. She
was an exceptional person.&rdquo
Greig MORDUE,
Liberal candidate in the most recent federal election,
said SARGENT was always warm and engaging: “The democratic process
in Oxford County really lost a standard bearer.&rdquo
Libertarian leader Jean-Serge
BRISSON said
SARGENT took every
opportunity to voice her convictions.
“It's going to be a big loss for us. We lost a major icon of
our party,”
BRISSON said.
Oxford member of Parliament Dave
MacKENZIE remembered
SARGENT
as a “great lady” who put her family before politics.
“She thought the world of her children and grandchildren. She
was so proud of all of their accomplishments.&rdquo
Predeceased by her husband Clifford,
SARGENT is survived by her
two daughters, Sherry
CAMBOIA and Joanna
SARGENT, four grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren.
Her daughters remembered a woman of uncommon compassion and tremendous
energy.
CAMBOIA described her mother as the “original tree hugger,” saying
SARGENT's ardent environmentalism came well before conservation
became a popular movement.
SARGENT was also a gifted writer and wrote her memoirs -- “scribbles,&rdquo
she called them -- by hand.
SARGENT was also very fond of music and loved singing and dancing.
During their youths,
SARGENT and her husband would often visit
the Stork Club in Port Stanley and dazzle other visitors with
their accomplished dancing.
SARGENT's family is inviting Friends to Friday's visitation at
the Smith-LeRoy Funeral Home from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The funeral
service will be held at the Berean Bible Church on Saturday at
1 p.m.

CAMERON was 'Godfather of Celtic music'
By The Canadian Press, Thursday, November 23, 2006
Long before Natalie MacMaster and Riverdance, there was John
Allan CAMERON, his kilt, a guitar and a smile.
CAMERON, who tirelessly took the gospel of Celtic music from
his beloved Cape Breton to the rest of Canada and beyond, died
Wednesday after a lengthy battle with bone marrow cancer and
leukemia. He was 67.
CAMERON's son, Stuart, was with his father when he died in a
Toronto hospital.
"It was his time and he was a fighter and he never wanted to
give up," the son said later. "He lived life to the fullest in
every regard."
A devout Roman Catholic who ditched the seminary for the stage,
CAMERON was known as the "ministering minstrel" for taking the
music he loved from the kitchen parties of his native Mabou,
Nova Scotia, to the stages of Nashville and Las Vegas.
"I was in on the ground floor, performing this stuff before it
became sociologically acceptable,"
CAMERON said in 1993.
A charismatic performer,
CAMERON made a name for himself by playing
reels and jigs on his twelve-string guitar instead of a fiddle
or bagpipe.
He began his career in the 1960s on the Don Messer Show and Singalong
Jubilee, recorded the first of several albums in 1968 and performed
the following year at the influential Newport Folk Festival.
In the 1970s, he opened for Anne Murray on several tours and
had his own half-hour show on CTV from '75 to '81.
John Donald
CAMERON remembers driving his brother to a concert
at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia,
and fretting over how his brand of down-home music and folksy
humour would go over in a roomful of tipsy students.
"Most of them weren't familiar with that type of music, but boy
oh boy, he had them eating out of the palm of his hand," the
brother recalled Wednesday.
"They were laughing and clapping. It's not everyone who could
do that."
Murray, during a tribute in Halifax last year to the then-ailing
CAMERON, said she remembers how people looked at him as a curiosity
at first, especially in places like Vegas.
"He puts on a great show and he makes people laugh," she said.
"You can't help but clap your hands and stomp your feet."
In 1970, CAMERON got a standing ovation at the Grand Ole Opry,
with fellow Nova Scotian Hank Snow telling him, "Whatever you're
doing, boy, keep it up because it works."
Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald, who grew up in Mabou and
often played the fiddle with
CAMERON, called him "the godfather
of Celtic music and a true ambassador for our province.
"The province and our country have lost a special friend."
CAMERON grew up in a home filled with music and a love for hockey,
and in a time and place when priests and fiddlers "were the Bobby
Orrs of Cape Breton," as he once said.
He studied for the priesthood and took vows of chastity and poverty
before leaving six months before he was to be ordained.
Stewart MacNeil of the Barra MacNeils agreed, said
CAMERON had
a profound influence on a generation of Cape Breton performers.
"For people like the Barra MacNeils and the Rankins and the Ashley
MacIsaacs and Natalie MacMasters, I think he paved the way and
let us know that our culture is something that has universal
appeal," MacNeil said.
CAMERON, a resident of Pickering, Ontario, when he died, was
named to the Order of Canada in 2003.
He is survived by his wife, Angela, and his son.

To walk with us thoughout our lives Until we meet again.
One piece of our family puzzle is missing now
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The puzzle will be whole again.
Lovingly remembered and always Diane and Frankie

CAMERON o@ca.on.middlesex_county.london.london_free_press 2006-07-09 published
Ex-Londoner left footprints worldwide
By Susan KIRWIN, Free Press Reporter, Sun., July 9, 2006
Carla (MILLS)
CAMERON genuinely enjoyed the little things during
her extraordinary life.
At 30, she was a naturopathic doctor, a world traveller and an
accomplished athlete.
Living in Zurich, Switzerland, with her husband, Blair
CAMERON,
the London woman died following a horseback riding accident June 9.
"She was the best person to travel with. She would take real
joy in the little things," said Blair. "She would still be amazed
to see a goat or to be walking on a beach."
Carla was a substitute teacher and coached swimming at the international
school where her husband worked. She also taught yoga and studied
German.
She grew up in London and graduated from South secondary school
where she excelled academically and athletically.
Her mother, Jane
MILLS said she was a "ferocious reader." It
was a pastime she shared with her father, Randy
MILLS, constantly
exchanging books.
Her brother, Kevin
MILLS, often turned out her light in the middle
of the night after an eight-year-old Carla had fallen asleep
reading scary novels.
Carla looked after Kevin, too.
"She always treated me so well," he said. "When I got older,
she taught me how to dance."
Carla and Blair, another Londoner, met at Queen's University
where she went to study science.
"I thought she was beautiful because of her red hair," said Blair.
He shocked her when he kissed her on their first date, rollerblading
beside Lake Ontario, at the same spot where he later asked her
to marry him.
They wed October 4, 2003.
As students, the two found summer jobs in England, the Isle of
Sark and Idaho.
"I don't think I ever would have done it without her. She was
the one who got things done," said Blair.
Since moving to Switzerland in August 2005, they had visited
Egypt, the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, Spain, Morocco,
Germany and Austria. They'd just bought a car to tour Eastern
Europe this summer.
The Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and Costa Rica also were marked
by Carla's footprints.
The impact she had on Friends was evident in dozens of online
condolences the family received after her death, her mother said.
"She always knew what to say at the right time and knew when
you needed a hug even if you didn't know you needed it yourself,"
she said, reading from close friend's tribute.

In loving memory of Glen
CAMERON a dear husband, father and grandfather
who passed away one year ago today
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Little did we know that morning
The sorrow that day would bring
The news was sudden, the shock severe
To part with the one we loved so dear.
We did not see you close your eyes
Or hear your last faint sigh
We only heard you were gone
Too late to say goodbye.
Our hearts still ache with sorrow
Our silent tears still flow
For what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Sadly missed by wife Maureen, children Wayne and Kathy, grandchildren and

Lexie was like a warm ray of sunshine, partner says
Founded Abernant Veterinary Services in the late 1980s
By Michael
GENNINGS,
Page 1
Local
Veterinarian
Lexie
CAMERON will be remembered by family
and Friends at a memorial on May 5.
Huw LLEWELLYN,
Lexie's partner, said the memorial is from 3 p.m.
to 6 p.m. at Abernant Veterinary Services, 6725 Hwy. 26 East.
Lexie, 49, died April 13 at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre
in Toronto, after sustaining head injuries at home.
In a telephone interview Thursday,
LLEWELLYN said his partner
fell around 11 p.m. on April 11.
He said the fall happened just as they were going to bed, after
watching television, at their home in Wasaga Beach.
LLEWELLYN explained that Lexie was likely attempting to use a
bathroom in the dark, misjudged the doorway and fell down the
stairs.
He said the tumble caused a skull fracture and brain injuries.
"I was just going to bed, I heard a thump, put the lights on
and she was at the bottom of the stairs,"
LLEWELLYN said. "It's
an image I'll live with for the rest of my life."
He noted their 15-year-old son, named Cameron after his mother's
family, was asleep in the house at the time of the accident.
Paramedics were called and Lexie was raced to Collingwood General and
Marine Hospital. She was then airlifted to Sunnybrook, where
LLEWELLYN said a computed axial tomography scan was done. The
procedure, he added, determined there was no hope for her.
He said that Lexie's heart, lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys
were donated to people in need of organs.
Because of how Lexie died,
LLEWELLYN said that the Huronia West
Ontario Provincial Police investigated. The process involved
talking to family and neighbours, something
LLEWELLYN said he
found understandable but also very hurtful. Police subsequently
ruled out foul play.
In talking about his partner of 20 years,
LLEWELLYN said she
was like a ray of warm sunshine.
"Lexie always put everyone before herself," he explained. "She
was an incredibly compassionate person."
He added that Lexie was honest also and had the highest standards
as a vet and a human being.
"Everyone who knew her liked her. She was a strikingly beautiful
woman as well, yet clothes and material things were of no significance."
LLEWELLYN said that Lexie was the type of person who did most
of her clothes shopping at second hand stores, often buying items
that contained purple, her favourite colour.
Born and raised in Barrie, Lexie was the daughter of Donald and
Berhta CAMERON.
For a number of years her father was the administrator
at Royal Victoria Hospital.
As a child Lexie developed a passion for riding horses,
LLEWELLYN
said, and subsequently decided to become a veterinarian.
She attended two years of pre-vet schooling at the University
of Guelph and then in 1980, after four years of study, graduated
with her degree.
LLEWELLYN said he was Lexie's professor at Guelph, although the
two did not date until about four or five years after she graduated.
He spoke of how Lexie caught his attention.
"I was her professor and I noticed that she was so well read.
She knew a lot about different things. She had a tremendous vocabulary.
I could talk with her and we got along very well."
Together the couple started Abernant Veterinary Service, on a
farm just east of Stayner, in 1988.
Because of a stream on the property, they chose the name Abernant,
a Welsh word meaning entry of the stream.
"She did the small animals and I helped with surgery,"
LLEWELLYN
recalled.
They built the business into a three-person practice that grew
by mainly word-of-mouth, he said.
LLEWELLYN, who primarily treats horses, noted he plans to keep
the vet operation open -- at some point finding a person to take
on Lexie's duties.
He said that Lexie was the type of person who loved animals and
people so much that if an owner couldn't pay for their pet's
operation it wasn't an issue.
Lexie herself had 12 horses, thoroughbred crosses, and
LLEWELLYN
said he plans to keep her two favourite.
A competitor with her animals,
LLEWELLYN said that in 2004 Lexie
flew to Scotland and northern England to compete in jumping events
over three days.
When not working she enjoyed the role of mother, was also an
accomplished pianist and big reader.
"Lexie read everything, including the Bible and she wasn't a
religious person -- she just read it as a book. Her favourite
though was true crime stories."
Travel played a big role in their lives too,
LLEWELLYN said.
The couple visited Europe extensively, Mexico, Costa Rica and
Florida.
Recently the couple purchased a farm, near Owen Sound, as a get-away
and eventually a place to live when they retired.
"Our lives perhaps appeared glamorous, but we didn't put a lot
into material things,"
LLEWELLYN said. "What we did was live
each day as if it was our last."
He encourages everyone who knew
CAMERON to attend her memorial.
He said they picked Abernant for the location because
CAMERON
was happiest there.

by her son George
TRAKAS and granddaughter Maggie
TRAKAS and
nieces and nephew. Coula was a wonderful woman, who brought love
and joy to anyone lucky enough to spend time with her. Her sister,
Eleni, knew that better than anyone, and enjoyed a special relationship
with her. Their bonds were not inspired by blood alone. They
loved each other's company and were simply the best of Friends.
They were devoted to each other always. People were easily touched
by Coula's nurturing warmth, impeccable taste and fine beauty.
Her cooking was delicious enough to feed the gods and she graciously
and generously shared it with many. Her nature was to heal and
love people whom she met. She was an attentive listener who offered
guidance without judgment, commiserating with sorrows, diffusing
anger and softening the blows of disappointments. Time spent
with beautiful Coula inevitably left one bolstered with confidence
to move forward. Students at McGill University still remember
her kind and caring ways 30 years after she was a student advisor
there. Those of us who loved her are blessed with incredible
memories of time spent in her company. Coula, you will be remembered,
missed and forever in our hearts.

RICHARDSON,
Theresa
Madeline (née
LAPETINA)
Left this world with grace on March 13, 2006, surrounded by her
family, after 91 glorious years. You cannot squeeze much more
out of a life than that! Born in Toronto on February 19, 1915,
she was predeceased by her wonderful husband, George, in 1982 and
was never able to find a completely suitable replacement. Theresa
is survived by her daughter Catharine (Paul
CARROLL) and son
George ("Stix") both of whom were with her to the end. Tragically,
she was predeceased by her other son, Jimmy, in a car accident
many years ago, a loss from which she never completely recovered.
She loved, and was loved by, her grandchildren, Peter
CARROLL
(Suzanne LORD), Michael
CARROLL (Vera), Ann Marie
PIEKENBROCK
(Zane) and Amanda
RICHARDSON, as well as by her great grandchildren
Devin, Jenna and Brendan (Carroll). Her former daughter-in-law,
Angela CANNON, was with her at the end, having been a great help
over the years. Grand dogs Robin (San Francisco), Rowdy (Vancouver)
and Cosimo (Kingston) stand on guard for her. The last five years
of her life would have been unbearable if it were not for the
tireless assistance, compassion and humour of her dear friend,
Merlin CAMERON, and all the staff and volunteers at Seven Oaks
Home for the Aged, with special thanks also to Bev and Harold
PARRINGTON for the "happy hours," especially on Fridays. Theresa,
and her husband, were always immersed in music, classical and
opera in particular, but also pop. George Sr.'s favourite line,
with no apologies to Caruso or Beurling, was "if I could sing
like that I wouldn't even talk to you!" Theresa also was a wiz
on the piano, playing mostly by ear. This love of music transcended
their life and is carried forward by her descendants. Even the
dogs like music. A Memorial Mass was celebrated on March 22,
2006 at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church followed by interment
with her parents, husband and son at Mount Hope Cemetery. At
Theresa's request, attendance was limited to family and close
Friends as she did not want a fuss. Anyone wishing to make a
donation in memory of Theresa is invited to send it to Seven
Oaks Home for the Aged, 9 Neilson Road, Toronto, Ontario M1E 5E1
where a fund has been established to continue the tradition of
camaraderie among the residents, in which Theresa was an active
participant.

Don CAMERON,
Broadcaster: (1923-2006)
Master of the 'insert commercial' parlayed his well-modulated
tones into a successful career in radio and television
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
Long before television came to Canada, and decades before simulcasting,
which replaces U.S. ads with Canadian commercials when programs
run at the same time, there was the insert commercial in radio.
Don CAMERON was master of the insert commercial, a skill that
required flawless timing to squeeze a Canadian ad in, replacing
the American one.
"Insert commercials were unique to Canadian network radio. All
commercials for food and drugs had to conform to Canadian rules,"
says Lyman Potts, a broadcast historian. "While the U.S. announcer
read his piece, the Canadian announcer, at a point of entry,
usually Montreal or Toronto, read the approved Canadian commercial
for Canadian audiences of the U.S. network program."
The▲▼ insert commercial phase of Mr.
CAMERON's career lasted 10 years.
He was 21 when he started, but within a decade he was commuting
between Canada and the United States, doing radio and later television
programs, and making serious money doing commercials and voiceover
work in New York.
Don CAMERON grew up in downtown Montreal on Chomedy Street near
the Montreal Forum. His father ran a moving and delivery business
called Mansfield Express. The family lived a comfortable existence.
Young Don went to Montreal High, several blocks to the east.
To get there, he would have walked along Sherbrooke Street past
fashionable stores and the shops of shirt makers and tailors.
It was perhaps there he picked up some pointers on style. All
his adult life, Mr.
CAMERON was an immaculate dresser.
Few people went to university in 1940 -- there were only 35,000 undergraduates
in the entire country -- but Mr.
CAMERON went to McGill, where
he graduated in commerce. Although he was a radio and television
performer all his life, Mr.
CAMERON was a canny businessman,
and always lived well.
"He was very astute. A dollar didn't slip by him," said Walter
Gurd, who knew Mr.
CAMERON as a young man when they played in
various bands together in Montreal. This was before the era of
disc jockeys, and a live band was a must at dances.
While studying finance at McGill, he took acting and voice lessons
on the side from Rupert Caplan, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
producer. Mr.
CAMERON landed a job as a part-time announcer at
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation while he was still at McGill,
the studio being about halfway between McGill and home.
The▲▼ acting training came in handy. In the 1950s, Mr.
CAMERON
landed a part-time job playing a role in daily Canadian soap
opera, Laura Ltd.
After McGill, he worked for a short time at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation but then joined
CJAD, a new private radio station,
when it opened in late 1945.
Soon he was the host of a popular program called Make Believe
Ballroom. The show, which originated in New York in the early
1940s, was copied across North America. There was always a local
announcer, inserting local colour and choosing the music.
The program started with Glenn Miller's Make Believe Ballroom
Time. "In Canada, both Toronto and Montreal have their own sessions
of the Ballroom running about an hour and half in the morning
and from to two to 2½ hours in the evening," wrote Mr.
CAMERON
in 1946. "The morning program should contain bright, peppy music
to brighten up the day for housewives. A somewhat different approach
is used on the evening… to supply pleasant background when people
eat."
This was when radio had no competition from television and wouldn't
for another six years. Mr.
CAMERON's description of his job comes
from a guest column he wrote in the weekly Montreal Standard.
He was replacing the then-unknown Mavis Gallant while she was
on vacation. It was a breezy column and centred on Mr.
CAMERON's
two main loves: broadcasting and making money.
"Most disc jockeys earn a guaranteed basic salary, but as an
incentive, some stations pay a commission for each new sponsor
added to the program. Thus… a Canadian disc jockey's income can
range anywhere from $2,500 to $12,000." That is $29,700 to $142,400
in today's money.
Soon, Mr. CAMERON was making that kind of money, commuting to
both Toronto and New York. In Manhattan, he did live and recorded
commercials for major clients such as Kraft, and Proctor and
Gamble. He did so well, for a couple of years he kept an apartment
in Manhattan.
Back in Toronto, he became the announcer on The Billy O'Connor
Show, which starred Juliette, who would later have her own television
program on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Later, she
was replaced by Sylvia Murphy, who remained a friend of Mr.
CAMERON's
all his life. Both of them stayed with the program when it moved
to television.
The radio version of The Billy O'Connor Show was recorded on
giant 16-inch vinyl discs -- holding 15 minutes a side -- and
shipped across Canada so it could be played at the same time
in every part of the country. The disc was called an "electrical
transcription." The government regulator of the day tried to
ban the technology to try to keep out U.S. radio programming.
Mr. CAMERON was also the host of the Canadian version of To Tell
The Truth, featuring three guests, only one of whom was the real
person. He also commuted to Cleveland for 10 years to host a
weekly quiz show on television there.
In 1966, he started working for
CKFM in Toronto and stayed, hosting
his own afternoon broadcast until 1991. "Don
CAMERON was a product
of the era that gave us such classic announcers as Charles Jennings
[Peter Jennings's father], Jack Dennett, Earl
CAMERON,
Elwood
Glover and Frank Willis," said Mr. Potts.
"They were articulate with modulated, quiet, dramatic voices
that enabled their listeners to hear every word."
Throughout his career, Don
CAMERON dabbled in business and looked
after his money. In the early 1960s, he invested in the Canadian
rights for Ko-Rec-Type, chemically treated paper that allowed
typists to correct mistakes. He also had his own production company,
packaging radio programs and acting as an agent for other announcers.
Mr. CAMERON and his wife spent a lot of time travelling. He always
liked to spend September in London. For many years they had a
place in the Bahamas at Spanish Wells, but they sold when they
found the trip to the Caribbean too taxing. He spent winters
in Vero Beach, Florida
Donald CAMERON was born on September 19, 1923, in Montreal. Although
he gave up smoking 15 years ago, he died of complications from
lung cancer on April 7 at a hospital in Oakville, Ontario He
was 82. He wife, Bea, died several years ago. He is survived
by a brother John, from whom he was estranged. He loved London,
England, and asked that his ashes be spread on the River Thames.

John Allen
CAMERON,
Musician: (1938-2006)
A devout Roman Catholic who gave up the priesthood for the stage,
he played reels and jigs on a 12-string guitar instead of a fiddle
or bagpipe to become a musical missionary with a Celtic cause,
writes Sandra
MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S7
John Allan
CAMERON trained to be a priest but instead became
a musical missionary spreading the gospel of Scottish music long
before Ashley MacIsaac, Natalie MacMaster (a distant cousin),
the Rankin Family and the Barra MacNeils became chart-busting
musicians.
"He was the heartbeat of the renaissance of Gaelic music in Cape
Breton," said former politician Flora MacDonald, who comes from
the same part of the rugged island as Mr.
CAMERON. "He was the
progenitor of all the others who came after. He was the one whom
they all looked to, all the rest who have played fiddle and danced
that was John Allan
CAMERON," she said.
Called the godfather of Celtic music in Canada, he was as generous
as he was fun loving and just as likely to play half the night
for free as for money, according to his older brother John Donald
CAMERON.
Flora▲
Macdonald can remember being in Fredericton and
attending one of his concerts on her 50th birthday in 1978, when
Mr. CAMERON and another good friend, the late Richard Hatfield,
arranged to have 50 yellow roses delivered to her at her seat
in the middle of the performance. And when Ms. MacDonald ran
for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1976,
Mr. CAMERON was the lead entertainer at her delegates party the
night before the balloting began.
Anne▲
Murray, who is on tour in California, said that Mr.
CAMERON
"had a burning desire" to do music. "He had to do it. I know
what that passion feels like and he had it, too," she said. "We
knew what Celtic music was because it was part of our heritage,
but he brought it to the forefront when nobody else was doing
it. And he did it so brazenly with the kilt and the Gaelic,"
she said.
"When he travelled to the East Coast to do concerts or to visit
his mother, he always made a point of going across the street
to visit my parents," said Raylene Rankin of the family singing
group. The families became connected after John Allan and John
Donald built a house in the 1960s for their widowed mother in
Mabou, right across the street from the Rankins. "He was always
very good to us and did whatever he could to get our music out
to the public," she said. By taking traditional music and making
it contemporary, he influenced "what we ended up doing with our
music."
The▲ second of five sons and two daughters of Daniel
CAMERON,
a farmer and fisherman, and his wife, Katie Ann
MacDONALD,
John
Allan CAMERON was born to the music. He grew up singing the old
songs that had come from the Highlands of Scotland with his ancestors
five generations earlier, and listening to his uncle, the composer
Dan
R.
(Rory)
MacDONALD play the fiddle. "He was a hero to me
and inspired me to learn music," Mr.
CAMERON told an interviewer
in 2003.
The CAMERONs didn't own instruments until their father brought
home a fiddle at Easter in 1951. His mother, a fluent Gaelic
speaker, tuned it up and John Donald, the eldest child, quickly
taught himself to play. The next year, Mr.
CAMERON came home
with a guitar and John Allan (always pronounced as a single word)
glommed onto it. The two boys, who were a year apart in age,
were playing the fiddle and the guitar at local dances by the
time John Allan was 12. By 1955, he had saved enough money to
buy himself a Gibson.
Nobody knows precisely why John Allan decided to become a priest,
but his older brother says that it was probably partly because
John Allan "had it within himself to help people" and partly
because "priests had a lot of respect" at that time in the rural
community where they lived. "In Cape Breton when my dad was growing
up it was either the fiddle player or the priest who held court,"
his son Stuart
CAMERON said yesterday. "They were the important
people in the community, but I always say that I'm glad he got
out of the priesthood."
Mr. CAMERON entered an Oblate Seminary in Ottawa to study for
the priesthood when he was 17. He stayed for seven years and
took his final vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in 1963.
His passion to make music was at least as strong as his religious
vocation, so he applied for, and received, a handwritten note
from the Vatican giving him papal dispensation to allow him to
perform music outside the church. Even so, he decided against
being ordained and joked to his classmates that "I'll be a father
before you are."
The following year he went to St. Francis Xavier University in
Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to complete his bachelor's degree. By
that time he had become well known locally as a performer. One
of his professors at St. Francis Xavier had given him a 12-string
guitar, which he loved because of its versatility in allowing
him to play bagpipe and fiddle arrangements. He also joined a
folk group called the Cavaliers, which played in coffee houses
in Antigonish. From St. Francis Xavier, he went to Dalhousie
University in Halifax to acquire his teaching credentials in
1967 and he continued to perform, appearing a few times on Don
Messer's Jubilee on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television
and doing guest spots on Singalong Jubilee, its summer replacement.
That's where he met Anne Murray, who was a regular on the show.
"He and Edith Butler and I all ended up on Singalong the same
year," she recalled. "I was so taken by the fact that he actually
wore a kilt and he played the 12-string guitar. I had never known
anybody who played the 12-string guitar."
Ms. Murray said he "used to speak fluent Latin to us and there
were enough of us Catholics who did the mass in Latin, that we
had a great time." Later, the two Maritimers often appeared on
the same concert stage. "As an opening act, believe me, he always
had the audience warm by the time I got out there," she said.
Mr. CAMERON moved to Ontario to take up a teaching position at
London Central High School in 1968, when he got a call from the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation offering him the chance of
regular work. He said later that he had "a 1964 Pontiac and $75
in the bank," enough money to pay for gas to get him back to
the Maritimes.
He released Here Comes… John Allan
CAMERON, the first of his
10 albums in 1968. About this time, he met Angela
BROLEY.
She
was visiting her grandmother's people in Big Pond, Nova Scotia,
while there to perform. They married in 1969. Their son Stuart
was born on September 28, 1972, between the first and second
periods of the final game of the Russia-Canada hockey series,
or so the family story goes.
Mr. CAMERON, who was a passionate hockey fan, was allegedly torn
between the game and the urgency of his wife's labour pains.
Wisely, he opted to go to the hospital, but became so "weak"
that a nurse gave him a pill and sent him home, according to
his older brother. "My father's love of music was equalled by
his love of sports," said his son Stuart, who is also a musician
and who began playing with his father when he was four.
Although he was mainly a concert performer and a recording artist
his credits include the Mariposa and Winnipeg Folk festivals
and an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville -- he also
hosted such television programs as The Ceilidh Show broadcast
from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Halifax in 1973,
The John Allan Cameron Show that aired on CTV from 1975 to
1976, and The John Allan Cameron Show, out of Halifax, that was
broadcast by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from 1979 to 1981.
He also produced and performed shows at Canadian military bases
in Germany and the Middle East.
He was diagnosed with bone-marrow cancer, a rare form of leukemia,
in January of 2005. "He hadn't been really feeling that well
for over a year," his wife Angela told the Halifax Chronicle
at the time. They had trouble getting an accurate diagnosis until
finally a doctor, who was a friend of the family and therefore
could see how Mr.
CAMERON was failing, insisted on doing more
tests. At least two musical tributes were held to help raise
money for his medical expenses. There is also a documentary in
the works, Celtic Soul: The Life and Music of John Allan Cameron,
which is scheduled to air on Bravo early in the new year.
Although Mr.
CAMERON made an appearance in a wheelchair at a
benefit this past autumn, he had been in the hospital for the
past 13 months. "My mother was there every single day with him,"
said Stuart
CAMERON, who was also a faithful visitor and who
was with his father yesterday morning when he "passed very peacefully."
John Allan
CAMERON was born on December 16, 1938, in Glencoe
Station, Inverness County, Nova Scotia He died of bone-marrow
cancer and leukemia in hospital in Toronto on Wednesday, November 22,
2006. He is survived by his wife, Angela, his son, Stuart, six
siblings and his extended family. The funeral is Monday at 10: 30 a.m.
at St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church in Pickering, Ontario

W.W. II, H.M.C.S. Seacliff
After a life well spent, Don passed away at his home on Friday,
April 7, 2006. Born under a lucky star on June 13, 1921, he lived
most of his life in Toronto other than a wartime tour of duty
in Halifax. As a Tool and Dye Maker, he was a skilled craftsman
but Don's greatest success was as a grandfather, father, husband
and friend. In December 1980, Don lost his youngest son, David,
to illness, then his wife and best friend, Bernadette
(MOREAU)
in 1983. The stories and memories will live on through his son,
Douglas (Judy

Celtic music's 'true champion'
John Allan
CAMERON brought Cape Breton to Canada, the world
By Greg QUILL,
Entertainment
Columnist
Nova
Scotia folk musician and singer John Allan
CAMERON, an icon
in the Canadian music community for more than 40 years, died
early yesterday in Toronto after a long battle with cancer.
He was 67.
CAMERON's son, Stuart, a musician and record producer, was with
his father when he died. "It was his time and he was a fighter
and he never wanted to give up," he told The Canadian Press.
"He lived life to the fullest in every regard."
Inducted into the Order Of Canada in 2003 for his relentless
efforts in bringing the music of his beloved Cape Breton to the
world, CAMERON often boasted that he was playing Celtic music
before Celtic was cool.
An invigorating performer, and an excellent fiddler and guitarist,
he was able to capture the distinctive variants of the Cape Breton
fiddle style on the 12-string guitar and popularized it for millions
at countless folk festivals and concerts, and on television and
radio programs in Canada, the United States, Britain, Europe
and Asia.
Canadian pop-music legend Anne Murray, who toured on and off
with CAMERON early in her career, told the Toronto Star recently,
"John Allan is single-handedly responsible for the Celtic music
revival in the 1960s. He was the guy who made it happen and he
was always so much fun. He never failed to put a smile on everyone's
face."
In the 1960s and '70s,
CAMERON was a frequent guest with Murray
on the hit Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Halifax television
variety series Singalong Jubilee, and he was a regular on the
provincial television favourite Ceilidh.
CAMERON is credited with having paved the way for Ashley MacIsaac,
The Rankins, The Barra MacNeils, Rita MacNeil, Great Big Sea
and Natalie MacMaster, among others.
He hosted his own series on CTV from Montreal in 1975-76,
and on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from Halifax from
1979-81. He performed at folk festivals throughout Canada, at
Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, and even in Las Vegas. In the late
1980s, CAMERON produced and starred in shows at Canadian military
bases in Germany and the Middle East.
"He loved what he did," Murray said. "He'd travel to places in
the U.S., Japan or anywhere just to talk about Celtic music.
More often than not he performed in a kilt, which some folkies
frowned at. He didn't care.
"He's a hero to them now, the first true champion of Celtic music
in Canada."
Earlier▲ this year, when news of
CAMERON's terminal illness spread,
Friends organized the release of a two-disc, 40-song tribute
CD, Yes! Let's Hear it for John Allan Cameron (available online
at http://www.scotsmarket.com), with contributions from a spectacular
array of Canadian musical talent, including fiddlers MacIsaac,
Buddy and Natalie MacMaster, and Sandy MacIntyre; songwriters
Ron Hynes, Jimmy Rankin, Gordie Sampson, and Bruce Guthro; bands
Great Big Sea, Blue Rodeo, The Cottars and Leahy; singers Bobby
Curtola, John McDermott and Mary Jane Lamond; Nova Scotia Premier
and renowned fiddler Rodney MacDonald; and Bobby Brown and The
Cape
Breton
Symphony, with whom
CAMERON often performed.
Musical Friends also organized a series of star-studded tributes
across the country, including a sold-out event at the Berkeley
Theatre in Toronto in May, to help defray the folk music star's
hospital expenses, which had been accumulating for more than
four years.
At that time, recording star Rita MacNeil told the Star, "John
Allan is the godfather of Celtic music in Canada, the first champion
of the songs and musical style unique to Cape Breton."
CAMERON was born in Inverness, Cape Breton, on December 16, 1938.
He grew up in Mabou surrounded by music -- his uncle, Dan R.
MacDONALD, mother, Katie Ann, and brother, John Donald, were
accomplished fiddlers and composers.
CAMERON, who lived in Pickering for the past 20 years, began
playing guitar for his brother at local dances. He studied for
the priesthood in Ottawa and took final vows in 1964, then received
papal dispensation to become a performer. He went on to earn
arts and education degrees in 1966 and '67.
He recorded 11 albums and enjoyed modest chart success with the
regional country/folk hits "Sit Down, Mr. Music Man," "I Can't
Tell You" and "Overnight Success" between 1973 and 1982.
Visitation will be at the Ogden Funeral Home, 4164 Sheppard Ave. E.,
on Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 7 p.m.
A funeral service will be held on Monday at St. Isaac Jogues
Roman Catholic Church, 1148 Finch Ave. in Pickering.
