Anastasia WAWRYSHYN, 99: Hard worker lived for family
By Leslie FERENC,
Staff
Reporter
Every
Friday,
Anastasia
WAWRYSHYN's grandchildren would race
out of their classrooms at Saint_Josaphat Catholic School, across
Franklin Ave. and straight to Baba's kitchen.
There, they'd be greeted with a big smile and an even bigger
bowl of her light-as-a-cloud potato-filled perohy.
Of course, they couldn't eat just one. And no matter how many
of those mouthwatering delicacies the four of them gobbled up,
they knew there would be plenty more to take home for dinner.
"Baba always made enough for everybody," Michael
WAWRYSHYN said
of his mother who was much loved for her made-from-scratch traditional
Ukrainian cooking and her open-hearted hospitality.
WAWRYSHYN died November 3, two months before her 100th birthday.
She'd suffered a stroke 10 days earlier, the same day a sister
passed away in Ukraine.
Family was everything for
WAWRYSHYN who was born in the tiny
Ukrainian village of Teplyts, January 3, 1907, in what was then
part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The eldest of nine children
only six survived to adulthood -- she understood full well
what it meant to struggle. Her parents were poor farmers who
eked out a living on the the land, exchanging eggs and milk or
freshly picked forest mushrooms for the things they couldn't
produce themselves, said
WAWRYSHYN of his mother's early years.
WAWRYSHYN decided to leave her beloved Ukraine after the death
of her intended. He'd immigrated to Argentina to log the forests
but died of malaria.
Riding by horse and buggy along dirt roads to the nearest train
station, the feisty and tenacious 19-year-old travelled to Germany
and then to England where she boarded a ship for Halifax. A stranger
in a strange land who didn't know a living soul in Canada and
didn't speak the language, the young woman forged ahead travelling
west to Saskatoon in search of work. En route,
WAWRYSHYN befriended
a young Ukrainian woman and the two kindred spirits became fast
Friends. Those were difficult but happy days, said her son. Both
worked as domestics, with
WAWRYSHYN taking a job in a boarding
house for farm children attending high school in the city. She
always looked forward to Sunday. It was spent at church, which
was the centre of life for young Ukrainian immigrants who had
settled in Saskatoon. After services, they attended teas and
concerts and enjoyed the company of new Friends.
WAWRYSHYN and her friend later moved to Toronto, where she met
and married her husband Prokip.
The couple moved to Franklin Ave. in 1939 and lived there all
their lives. At the time, the majority of their neighbours were
Ukrainian, settling in the close-knit west-end community near
large factories where they could find work. Their three children,
Michael, Mary and Anne, were born and raised in the old neighbourhood.
Having completed only Grade 3,
WAWRYSHYN was passionate when
it came to learning, determined her children would be well-educated
and have the opportunities she didn't, said her son, a retired
Toronto high school teacher.
A deeply pious woman,
WAWRYSHYN's religious and social life revolved
around the church. She was a long-time and active parishioner
at Saint_Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral down the street
from the family's home. She sang in the choir and was a founding
member of the cathedral's chapter of the Ukrainian Catholic Women's
League of Canada. "She just wanted a chance to make a better
life and was happy to have it," said her son.
Deeply proud of her Ukrainian roots,
WAWRYSHYN passed on her
love of her homeland and its rich culture to her children who
attended Ukrainian schools and were involved in various community
organizations.
A serious individual devoted to her family, she was fiercely
independent.
WAWRYSHYN continued to work part-time until the
age of 71 even though there was no need, her son said.
"And she refused to cash in her first pension cheque because
she said she didn't need it," he added.
"The Depression and World War 2 shattered the dreams of bringing
her family to Canada. Over the years, she helped support her
family, sending parcels of food and clothing and a few dollars
hidden in the lining of a coat, where she prayed they wouldn't
be discovered and confiscated by Soviet officials. The packages
included dozens of kerchiefs -- the colourful woollen scarves
typically worn by women in villages across Ukraine. They were
as valuable as gold back home. "Those kerchiefs paid for two
houses there," said
WAWRYSHYN.
His mother never returned to her
homeland.
Predeceased by her husband,
WAWRYSHYN leaves her son and his
wife Helen, daughter Mary
BERKETA and husband Ron and daughter
Anne; grandchildren Olena
WAWRYSHYN and husband Oleh
LESZCZYSZYN,
Oksana WAWRYSHYN,
Stephanie
DAWE and husband Greg and Christine
YUZWIN and husband Nick as well as great-grand_sons Matthew and
Michael DAWE.
She also leaves behind her sister Kateryna, 94,
in Ukraine, as well as many nephews and nieces.

Woman injured in fire dies
Debbie ROBERTS, 50, is remembered as a caring mother and friend
and a tireless worker.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Fri., May 26, 2006
The woman rescued by London firefighters from a townhouse blaze
has died, her family said yesterday.
Debbie ROBERTS, 50, who was rescued without vital signs from
the fire Wednesday in her Arbour Glen Crescent home, but then
resuscitated, died in hospital yesterday, her daughter said.
"She was a mother of three, she was kind to animals, she loved
her family and her Friends," Shelley
WULF, 27, said emotionally
from her Virginia home.
ROBERTS lived with her common-law husband, identified by Friends
and family as Paul
MOOD, in the townhouse at 99 Arbour Glen Cres.
Police at first said he suffered minor injuries, then listed
him in critical condition. But his condition wasn't known last
night.
Sparkles, the London cleaning service where
ROBERTS had worked
the last six or seven years, has established a bank account to
collect donations. The money is for expenses related to
ROBERTS,
not her husband, said manager Tammy
FERGUSON.
"(Our boss) just wants to be able to do something for them,"
FERGUSON said. "We just don't want
(WULF) to have to worry financially."
ROBERTS' family is facing financial struggles that may keep the
three children from travelling to London, she said.
FERGUSON recalled
ROBERTS as a tireless worker and friendly colleague.
"Every day, whether she felt good or not, she was here,"
FERGUSON
said. "She was a back-breaker, seriously. She didn't take any
time off, she couldn't afford to."
The cause of the fire was still unknown as the Ontario Fire Marshal
continued investigating yesterday.
Police offered no new details.
It was about 2 a.m. Wednesday when tenants in the townhouse complex
which has about 18 units -- awoke to the rumbling of fire
trucks. The fire gutted two townhouses, including
ROBERTS'.
A report in yesterday's Free Press indicating units 99 and 100
were gutted was incorrect, one tenant said yesterday, noting
they were 99 and 98.
Beyond some smoke damage, the fire was kept from spreading throughout
the complex, owned by London radio personality Steve
GARRISON.

ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, The Reverend Dr. Clifford A.S. (1919-2006)
Peacefully at home, surrounded by love on February 27, 2006 in
his 87th year after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his
wife, Mary
SANDERSON, his children: Cherry (Bill
WEBSTER) of
Newmarket; Kirk (Donna
GRIFFITH) and Stuart (Monica
HAMILTON),
both of Toronto, his brother-in-law, Robert
MITCHELL of White

ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, his first wife
Patricia
KIRKPATRICK
(1977,) his daughter, Gracie (1981;) his sisters, Grace
MITCHELL
of Montreal and White Rock (2003) and Doris
GROSE of Swift Current
(1999) and his brothers, Walter of Langley, British Columbia
(2005) and Lloyd of Montreal (1986). Cliff was born in Langham,
Saskatchewan and was always fiercely proud of his Saskatchewan
roots. He studied theology at St. Andrew's College in Saskatoon
and at Union Theological College, Columbia University in New
York where he obtained his doctorate with great distinction.
Ordained by The United Church of Canada in 1942 at the age of
23, he served pastorates in Dundurn, Sask (1942-44), Third Ave,
North Battleford, Saskatchewan. (1947-52), St. Giles, Hamilton
(1952-59), Robertson (now Robertson-Wesley), Edmonton (1959-66),
Metropolitan, Toronto (1966-75 and Bloor Street, Toronto (1975-86).
Cliff's great gift and passion was in conveying the message of
the Gospel. This was manifested in radio programmes (Sunday School
of the Air in North Battleford and The Good Ship Crusader in
Hamilton) as well as two minute weekly spots on Station
CFRB
(1970-86) in Toronto; a festival of the arts, dayspring at Metropolitan
United Church; a controversial sculpture of The Crucified Woman
at Bloor Street Church (1979); articles in The United Church
Observer (1960's 1990's) and monthly columns in The Toronto Star.
Following his retirement in 1986, Cliff was a popular anniversary
preacher and retreat leader across the country and a volunteer
chaplain at Casey House Hospice for people with A.I.D.S. and
Wellesley Hospital's H.I.V./A.I.D.S. wing. He taught at many
of the United Church's theological colleges during his ministry
and was the author of several books. Cliff travelled extensively
in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America; in
China, East Germany and Russia and gained on-the-spot understanding
of current social and political conditions which informed his
preaching. Throughout Cliff's life, singing was an important
expression of his faith and love of life and even in his last
years when his memory failed him he continued to sing. For over
forty years he cottaged on Little Boshkung Lake at Carnarvon
in Haliburton, Ontario. For ten and a half years, following a
stroke during surgery, Cliff was cared for in his own home. The
family is grateful to the many, many Friends, Community Care
East
York,
Bayview Community Hospice and Dr. Ian
FERGUSON and
Dr. Robert
McKELLAR who supported them during this time and made
it possible for Cliff to remain at home. A celebration of Cliff's
life will be held at Bloor Street United Church, 300 Bloor St.
W. (corner of Bloor and Huron) on Saturday, March 4 at 11: 00
a.m. Visiting will be on Friday, March 3 at Bloor Street United

John Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS,
Engineer: (1924-2006)
Unsung hero of Canada's Imax success story knew how to make the
big-screen technology work
By M.J. STONE,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Montreal -- He was the man in the engine room of the good ship
Imax.
John
Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was an engineering guru, a genius
at tinkering who was the brains behind making the Imax corporation's
giant-screen technology work as well as it did. Years before,
he was the wizard who helped keep Expo 67's Labyrinth film project
going. And when it was all over, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS went back to his
first love -- the humble train.
In the meantime, his other passion remained electronics. As a
teenager during the Depression, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS's future in telecommunications
was foreshadowed when he plied his talent for radio repair in
the small town of Sutton in Quebec's Eastern Townships. Neighbours
and customers paid 25 cents to have their wonky Radiolas,
RCA
Victors and Silvertones tinkered back into working order.
At 18, poor eyesight disqualified him from serving in any of
the Canadian armed forces during the Second World War. At the
suggestion of doctors who advised he spend less time in libraries
with his head buried in books, he worked for a year with the
Canadian Pacific Railroad and then enrolled at McGill University.
It was while earning his degree in science that he met his wife,
Althea McCOY, a likeminded student who became his life-long collaborator.
They were both involved in the McGill drama department. Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS
was in charge of lighting and his future wife was the costume
co-ordinator. Their initial collaboration at the McGill Red and
White Revue revealed a symbiotic relationship that would often
find the couple working side by side."The smartest thing I ever
did was to marry him," said writer and archivist Althea
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS.
"Creighton was my favourite proof reader and copy editor."
The couple married in 1948 and the following year he departed
for a career in the Quebec wilderness repairing radio transmitters
for Canadian Marconi. He later travelled to England, sent by
Marconi, to study the emerging world of television.
When the couple returned to Canada, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS began demonstrating
the principles of television at trade fairs. With both of them
operating a camera, the duo wowed Toronto audiences at the Canadian
National
Exhibition in 1950. Althea
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS recalled how aiming
the camera at the crowds delighted visitors, who, through closed-circuit
monitors, discovered themselves on television for the first time.
Commercial television was still a few years away and she lays
claim that the experience at the Canadian National Exhibition
made her Canada's first female operator of a television camera.
Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS's cutting-edge knowledge of the new medium resulted
in work as a consultant with the Canadian Broadcasting Company
when it first went on the air in 1952. Later, he returned to
Canadian
Marconi as the engineering manager for Montreal's
CFCF
radio and in 1961, he supervised the construction of a television
transmission tower. Erected at the top of Mount Royal, it broadcast
the first television signals when
CFCF-television at last went
on the air.
Regarded as a technical genius, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was the go-to person
hired by the National Film Board of Canada to orchestrate the
Labyrinth project for the 1967 world's fair in Montreal. A multiscreen
film, In the Labyrinth, was a smash hit at Expo and is considered
the precursor to today's large-format films. Using a complicated
projection system with three synchronized viewing chambers, it
featured stereo sound and a mirrored maze.
Colin Low, the National Film Board of Canada's former head of
animation, said that Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS possessed the right mix of flexibility
and vigour necessary to handle the madness that In the Labyrinth
inspired. "A lot of things, we had never tried before. Creighton
was intrigued by it. He made it work. Labyrinth was one of the
starting points for Imax technology."
Imax was a revolution in the movie industry. What made it arrestingly
different was the sheer size and crispness of the projected image,
combined with resonant, multitrack sound systems. No matter what
the subject, watching can be viscerally intense -- a fact that
directors have exploited with roller-coaster intensity ever since
the first Imax title, North of Superior, lit up the media. The
format uses the largest film frame in movie history, 10 times
the size of conventional 35-mm film. The screens, too, were oversized,
as tall as eight storeys.
The system was the brainchild of five Canadian visionaries who
toiled for more than a quarter of a century to make Imax Corp.
a household word in entertainment. Graeme
FERGUSON,
Robert
KERR,
Roman KROITOR,
Bill
SHAW and Bill
BREUKELMAN founded Imax and
pioneered the giant-screen, large-format film medium before selling
the technology in 1994 to a group of American investors for about
$100-million (U.S.).
All the same, few knew the system better than Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS. In
1981, Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS found himself in France supervising the installation
of a new generation of Imax screens. His final Imax project was
to co-ordinate the installation of the company's theatre at the
Museum of Civilization.
In retirement, he returned to the much less complicated technology
of locomotives, and the tracks they travelled down. His interest
also left its mark on his marriage, for his wife possessed railway
roots of her own ("My father worked for the Canadian National
Railway," she said), and together they co-wrote Canadian Railway
Records: A Guide for Genealogists, a resource for families with
rail connections going back about 150 years.
The DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS manual, composed for family historians, offers tips
and resources for recovering historical records of family members
via ticket sales and the vast network of railway payrolls, journals,
magazines and subsidiary companies. In the introduction, the
couple wrote, "this book has been a joint effort but we each
have our own areas of expertise. Creighton wrote much of the
material on the railway way of life, working conditions and so
on. Althea did the archival work checking documents and bibliographical
data and wrote about libraries and archives so, inevitably, on
occasion we wrote in the first person singular and at other times
in the first person plural."
Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS also added a consumer warning: "The railway offers
such a variety of intriguing information and experience that
there is some aspect that will intrigue almost everyone." In
other words, railways are highly addictive and can absorb all
your free time and available money.
John Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was born on August 15, 1924, in Cowansville,
Quebec He died of a congestive heart failure on February 6, 2006
in Ottawa. He is survived by his wife.

BURDSALL,
Bernard
Henry
By David MORRIS,
Page
A22
Husband, father, radio amateur. Born October 2, 1920, in Stony
Stratford, England. Died April 23, in Kingston, Ontario, of congestive
heart failure, aged 85.
Had you asked Bernie in his younger years, he would have described
himself, with a twinkle in his eyes, as a male war-bride.
He was conceived in a passing moment of joy -- post-First World
War homecoming -- and raised an only child in a household he
would later describe as emotionally barren. By his own measure,
he was a somewhat obstinate youth, who took refuge from the harshness
of home and school in voracious reading and learning -- habits
he maintained the rest of his life.
Bernie quit school at 16 to take a job as an office "tea boy,"
but soon landed a technical apprenticeship position with the
General Post Office telephone service. About the same time, he
earned an amateur (ham) radio operator licence. His early duties
with the General Post Office focused on wiring England for war
readiness. He put his radio skills to use copying intercepted
Morse code radio transmissions for the Bletchley Park code-breakers.
In the early 1940s, he enlisted with the Royal Air Force and
was shipped to Guelph, Ontario, for training as a wireless operator/air
gunner.
Bernie never tired of telling the story of one fateful moonlit
evening in 1942 on a ferry from Port Dalhousie to Toronto. "Do
you have the time?" he asked the gorgeous redhead. "Oh, are you
English?" she asked in return. One month later, on her 21st birthday,
Bernie and Margaret
FERGUSON were engaged. For evermore, Moonlight
Becomes You was his song for her.
Bernie spent the first three years of married life as wireless
operator/air gunner on a Wellington bomber, 40 Squadron, stationed
in Italy. At the age of 23, he was a veteran of 37 sorties. Through
1945-46, he was stationed in Egypt and Palestine.
He and Margaret reunited in England following the war, and Katie,
the first of five daughters, was born in 1947. The family emigrated
to Ottawa in 1948, where Bernie was hired as a technician with
Bell Telephone Co. of Canada. Daughter Liz was born in Ottawa.
Anne, Marian and Jane followed after Bernie's transfer to Bell's
Kingston operation.
The girls love telling stories of growing up with Bernie as disciplinarian
(or would-be disciplinarian), shaping the good character of his
brood. Such was his reputation with the young men of Kingston's
Strathcona Park, that his "no boys in the backyard" policy stood
unchallenged.
Bernie wanted his daughters to grow up to be the fine, independent
women that they are, so tools and toolboxes were provided. The
girls' prowess as drivers and, by extension, his prowess as a
driving instructor, remained for him a source of great pride.
(Away from the girls, Bernie was quick with a colourful joke
or a story involving a far-off relative of Margaret's.)
As boyfriends gave way to sons-in-law, Bernie opted for early
retirement from Bell. He continued his long-time involvement
with the Kingston and national amateur radio organizations, but
also lent his unfaltering energy, commitment and talented hands
to the benefit of numerous Kingston community organizations,
most particularly the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. In his
quiet time at home he traced both sides of the family tree and
penned his war-time memoirs.
Bernie and Margaret, his "first wife" of 63 years, presided over
Easter dinner one week before his mercifully quick departure.
Liz, daughter No. 2, asked him to comment on his 85-year journey
from only child to patriarch. Surrounded by four generations
of family and with a look of peace clearly in his eyes, he described
himself simply as a lucky man.
David MORRIS, one of three
BURDSALL sons-in-law named David,
is married to Marian, daughter No. 4.

ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, The Reverend Dr. Clifford A.S. (1919-2006)
Peacefully at home, surrounded by love on February 27, 2006 in
his 87th year after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his
wife, Mary
SANDERSON, his children: Cherry (Bill
WEBSTER) of
Newmarket; Kirk (Donna
GRIFFITH) and Stuart (Monica
HAMILTON),
both of Toronto, his brother-in-law, Robert
MITCHELL of White
Rock, British Columbia and grandchildren: Daryll, Kimberley,
Meredith, Gillian and Gwendolyn. Predeceased by his parents,
Annie JENNINGS and George
ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, his first wife, Patricia
KIRKPATRICK
(1977,) his daughter, Gracie (1981;) his sisters, Grace
MITCHELL
of Montreal and White Rock (2003) and Doris
GROSE of Swift Current
(1999) and his brothers, Walter of Langley, British Columbia
(2005) and Lloyd of Montreal (1986). Cliff was born in Langham,
Saskatchewan. and was always fiercely proud of his Saskatchewan
roots. He studied theology at St. Andrew's College in Saskatoon
and at Union Theological College, Columbia University in New
York where he obtained his doctorate with great distinction.
Ordained by The United Church of Canada in 1942 at the age of
23, he served pastorates in Dundurn, Saskatchewan. (1942-44),
Third Ave., North Battleford, Saskatchewan. (1947-52), St. Giles,
Hamilton (1952-59), Robertson (now Robertson-Wesley), Edmonton
(1959-66), Metropolitan, Toronto (1966-75) and Bloor Street,
Toronto (1975-86). Cliff's great gift and passion was in conveying
the message of the Gospel. This was manifested in radio programmes
(Sunday School of the Air in North Battleford and The Good Ship
Crusader in Hamilton) as well as two minute weekly spots on Station
CFRB (1970-86) in Toronto; a festival of the arts, dayspring
at Metropolitan United Church; a controversial sculpture of The
Crucified Woman at Bloor Street Church (1979); articles in The
United Church Observer (1960's-1990's) and monthly columns in
The Toronto Star. Following his retirement in 1986, Cliff was
a popular anniversary preacher and retreat leader across the
country and a volunteer chaplain at Casey House Hospice for people
with A.I.D.S. and Wellesley Hospital's H.I.V./A.I.D.S. wing.
He taught at many of the United Church's theological colleges
during his ministry and was the author of several books. Cliff
travelled extensively in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa
and Latin America; in China, East Germany and Russia and gained
on-the-spot understanding of current social and political conditions
which informed his preaching. Throughout Cliff's life, singing
was an important expression of his faith and love of life and
even in his last years when his memory failed him he continued
to sing. For over forty years he cottaged on Little Boshkung
Lake at Carnarvon in Haliburton, Ontario. For ten and a half
years, following a stroke during surgery, Cliff was cared for
in his own home. The family is grateful to the many, many Friends,
Community Care East York, Bayview Community Hospice and Dr. Ian
FERGUSON and Dr. Robert
McKELLAR who supported them during this
time and made it possible for Cliff to remain at home. A celebration
of Cliff's life will be held at Bloor Street United Church, 300
Bloor St. W. (corner of Bloor and Huron) on Saturday, March 4
at 11: 00 a.m. Visiting will be on Friday, March 3 at Bloor Street
United Church from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Donations in Cliff's
memory may be made to The Clifford Elliott Spirit of Saskatchewan
