Crash claims energetic A student
Phillip MacLACHLAN was a University of Western Ontario engineering
student, water polo player and loyal friend.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Tues., January 17, 2006
An intern at Links Coatings, he died a day after a two-vehicle
crash at Airport Road and Dundas Street.
The funeral of a top-notch University of Western Ontario student
and promising engineer killed in a two-vehicle crash will be
held tomorrow.
Phillip Nakahara
MacLACHLAN, 22, a University of Western Ontario
chemical engineering student and varsity water polo player, was
badly hurt in the rush-hour collision at Airport Road and Dundas
Street about 5 p.m. Thursday. He died of his injuries a day later.
A former professor recalled
MacLACHLAN -- who had been interning
full time with an Airport Road-area firm since May -- as a dedicated
student with loads of professional potential.
"He is a good student, every professor knows that," said Jesse
ZHU of University of Western Ontario's engineering department,
who helped
MacLACHLAN land the year-long internship at Links
Coatings.
"He's an A student... and he's very quiet, but he's actually
fairly active."
To his loved ones,
MacLACHLAN, a graduate of Lucas secondary
school, was an energetic person who worked nights at the Ceeps
pub and always made time for his girlfriend, Friends and family.
"He just liked to keep himself active," said Jim
MacLACHLAN,
his older brother.
"He was always here for the family," Jim
MacLACHLAN added. "He
was an all-around great guy."
In addition to his studies and work schedule,
MacLACHLAN was
also president of a University of Western Ontario intramural
sports club.
An endowment likely will be established in his honour to benefit
future chemical engineering students,
ZHU said.
MacLACHLAN's obituary notice painted him as a promising young
man from a big London family -- he was one of Emmy and Fred
MacLACHLAN's
four children.
"He lived intensely in all that he did and will greatly miss
his wonderful Friends at school and work," it read.
Visitation is scheduled for today, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
to 9 p.m., at the Harris Funeral Home on James Street. The funeral
is set for 1 p.m. tomorrow, followed by a private cremation.
MacLACHLAN was driving north along Airport Road, London police
said, and about to turn left on Dundas Street when he collided
with a southbound driver.
Investigators were probing the crash yesterday and details were
sketchy, Const. Amanda
PFEFFER said.
The second driver suffered minor injuries.
The Airport-Dundas intersection wasn't named on a list of London's
top 20 crash-prone zones, released last week by Sgt. Tom
O'BRIEN
of the traffic management unit. But crashes there can easily
result in serious injuries,
O'BRIEN said.
"When I hear there's been a collision with injuries at Dundas
and Airport, high speed and big vehicles come to mind. That's
the problem," he said.

Man, 60, dies in early morning collision
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Tues., January 17, 2006
A Londoner was killed and a veteran trucker badly shaken yesterday
in an early-morning crash in Thames Centre that police are investigating.
Joe ANTONIO, 60, was heading to work in Dorchester shortly before
6 a.m. yesterday when his van broadsided a tractor-trailer reversing
into a driveway along Westchester Bourne, Middlesex Ontario Provincial
Police said.
ANTONIO, whose vehicle was trapped under the rig,
died at the scene.
"He's a very good brother and a very good father," Adelina
ANTONIO
said of her brother, who had a 21-year-old stepson and two other
children, ages 13 and 10. "We are trying to cope with the loss
because it was so sudden."
Skip LACHARITY, the veteran trucker who was backing his tractor-trailer
onto his Dorchester-area property, was unhurt in the crash but
obviously upset by the tragedy in the pre-dawn darkness.
"I'm not so sure it's sunk in yet," said
LACHARITY, 54, who had
been delivering flowers to grocers in London and Sarnia. "It
was over in a heartbeat. It was a tragic thing."
The 16-metre-long trailer was outfitted with reflective stripes
and marker lights, Const. Doug
GRAHAM said. It was dark at the
time of the collision and investigators were still piecing together
how it happened, he added.
ANTONIO had worked at the same Dorchester factory for about 25
years, his sister said, and often pledged to retire within four
years.
He moved to Canada from the Philippines in the mid-1970s, she
said.

Chris DOTY had passion for London
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Sun., February 5, 2006
Chris DOTY, the historian whose plays and documentary films chronicled
London's past, was found dead in his home after taking his own
life. He was 39. A staple on the local cultural scene,
DOTY's
death comes just before the latest play he wrote and produced,
about London-bred pot activist Marc Emery, was to end its week-long
downtown debut run last night.
"No one knows what he was battling… Forget about the ending and
remember all the great things that led up to that," said Grant
DOTY,
Chris's younger brother.
It was his love of his hometown that defined Chris
DOTY, those
who knew him best said.
"Because he loved London so much, he wanted to find things that
were interesting about it and promote it," Grant said.
Once called an "incisive, opinionated dynamo" by The Free Press,
DOTY started his own production company, Doty Docs, in 1995 and
found a niche in telling London's all-but-forgotten stories.
His work included award-winning documentaries on the Grand Theatre,
London's disastrous 1937 flood and the 1939 royal visit.
He also focused on more commercial fare, including a film Chronicling
the London Knights. In the past year, he wrote The Donnelly Trial,
about the famed local slaying of the Donnellys, and Citizen Marc,
about Emery's formative years in London.
Reached in Vancouver yesterday, Emery -- who first met
DOTY decades
ago and saw him last week at the play's premiere -- was stunned
by the news.
"He had many movies left in him to make and many, many more plays,"
said Emery, who remembers
DOTY as an intelligent, young customer
at his City Lights bookshop.
"He was a wonderful person and a great credit to the London community.
I'm honoured that his last work was the play about me."
John GERRY, who directed Citizen Marc, heard of
DOTY's death
Friday night from Jason
RIP, the play's co-writer. A pre-arranged
cast and crew party let all involved talk about
DOTY hours later,
Gerry said.
"It was pretty tough," he said. He expressed enormous respect
for DOTY's work, calling him -- in reference to a famed U.S.
documentary film maker -- "the Ken Burns of London. He presented
(stories) the best way possible, and the most honest way possible."
The cast and crew "talked… about the incredible amount of spirit
he gave (London)."
The final show of Citizen Marc's week-long run went ahead last
night, Gerry said. "I just think, you know, out of respect for
Chris -- this was his show. The actors, they wanted to do it."
Another DOTY project was the annual Brickenden Awards recognizing
achievement in London's arts community. The latest ceremony was
held Monday.
"Chris was a perfectionist. He always had high standards and
expectations for every work," brother Grant said. "Myself and
my mom were so proud of him. All the accolades he got, he deserved
every bit."
Visitation is tomorrow at the John T. Donohue Funeral Home, 2
to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral is Tuesday at Metropolitan
United Church, 11 a.m.

Chris DOTY revealed London
The historian and filmmaker was branching out into theatre when
he died.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Mon., February 6, 2006
Chris DOTY's last work was also his best, say Friends left reeling
by the sudden death of the noted historian, writer and London
"treasure."
Though DOTY, 39, had spent little more than a year focused on
stage productions, his latest script -- about London-bred marijuana
activist Marc
EMERY -- pointed to a future full of theatrical
promise.
"We really did see him as having the Midas touch in theatre,"
said Jason
RIP, who with
DOTY co-wrote Citizen Marc, which ended
its debut downtown run Saturday.
"He was really savvy. That's why he was such a success."
Another of
DOTY's recent stage productions, The Donnelly Trial,
was a rousing success and
DOTY planned to reprise it this summer.
Citizen Marc was met with much praise, including by Emery himself.
But DOTY will likely be best remembered for his documentary films,
an impressive body of commercially-friendly work that chronicled
London's often unappreciated, and nearly forgotten, stories.
"He said, 'There's no point in doing something that people don't
want to see,"
RIP said. "His real skill was his ability to promote."
As a friend and valued source to news reporters,
DOTY was always
available for a short London history lesson or a sharp, funny
quote.
His sense of humour and appreciation for quirky, fascinating
facts is also clear on his website, dotydocs.com.
Its content includes a list of the city's ghost legends, a catalogue
of local Unidentified Flying Object sightings and stories of
criminals in London executed for their crimes. It also details
the storied history of such London hotspots as Wonderland Gardens
and the Seven Dwarfs restaurant.
It's clear the man who brought London history to life won't be
soon forgotten, said
RIP, who is eager to see a "fitting tribute"
to DOTY's work.
A remarkable attention to detail earned
DOTY the respect of fellow
historians.
He was cutting a similar swath in the city's theatre community,
said Patsy
MORGAN, who formerly lived with and dated
DOTY.
"He touched so many of their lives," she said yesterday. "They
all really, really respected him. There was so much for him yet
to do and I just miss my friend."
Above all, however,
DOTY had the admiration of his family, including
brother Grant and mother Gwyneth.
"I was very proud of him," Grant said Saturday. "His work was
just so superior to anything I could think of doing.
"He gave so much of himself. He truly loved London."
Visitation is today at the John T. Donohue Funeral Home from
2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral is tomorrow at Metropolitan
United Church at 11 a.m.

Dead farmer was 'real family man'
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Tues., March 7, 2006
It had been a great few months for Wilfred
KUIPERS: A surprise
50th birthday party, a well-established business and a planned
family vacation down south.
But just before the Kuipers clan -- Wilfred's wife and kids,
his brothers, sisters and mother -- was to leave yesterday for
Florida, the Ingersoll man was killed in a weekend explosion
that ripped through his Thamesford mushroom farm.
"We have just been full of shock," said sister-in-law Tracy
KUIPERS,
who called him a dedicated dad and well-liked boss. "He was a
real family man and he loved his children -- he was very proud
of them. He's going to be sorely missed."
Wilfred, who just turned 50, was one of five children raised
by Tjeerd and Alice
KUIPERS of Aylmer. He lived in Ingersoll
with his wife, Dianna, and their four kids -- the youngest is
in Grade 6 -- and ran the family mushroom farm.
For a second straight year, the whole extended family was travelling
together, Tracy
KUIPERS said. They were set to spend nearly two
weeks in Florida and the Caribbean.
"The house has just been a constant flow of Friends and family"
since Saturday, she said.
Wilfred loved golf and singing in a Christian choir, his sister-in-law
said, and had an easy rapport with his employees.
"He loved to hear a good joke," said close friend Herb
PIPPEL,
who laughed while recalling Wilfred's 50th birthday party. "Everybody
who was there wrote a poem for him. He had a wonderful time&hellip
he couldn't get enough.
"He was a good friend to me."
Yesterday, Oxford Ontario Provincial Police investigators were
picking through the rubble of the cement and metal building destroyed
at Kuipers' Mushrooms Inc. near Thamesford. It could be Friday
before they're done, said Const. Dennis Harwood.
A new heating system may have led to the blast, investigators
said.
Because farm workers aren't included under Ontario's Occupational
Health and Safety Act -- though they will be as of June -- the
Labour Ministry isn't probing this explosion.
Instead, the investigation is being led by the Ontario Provincial
Police with the help of the Farm Safety Association, the organization's
president said yesterday.
"It's not like nobody will be investigating," said Dean
ANDERSON
of the Guelph-based Farm Safety Association. "(Ontario's) fire
marshal hopefully will find the cause."

Teen driver killed

MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Fri., March 31, 2006
A single-car rollover killed a teenage driver and sent four passengers,
including a five-year-old boy, to hospital last night, Lambton
Ontario Provincial Police said.
Speed led to the crash, which happened about 8 p.m. in Lambton
Shores, police said. The youngster was the only person wearing
a seat belt, which police said explains the injuries suffered
by the adults.
Rebecca PARSONS, 18, of Lambton Shores, was the driver. She died
of her injuries.
The adult passengers -- Jenny
PARKER, 28, Laura
PARKER, 25, and
Paul MADON, 28 -- remain in hospital today, Const. Luke
GEORGE
said. The young boy, Mason
HODGKIN, has already been released.
“Speed is a factor in this collision,”
GEORGE said. “A lack of
seat-belt use is another factor in relation to the injuries.&rdquo

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.

Road worker electrocuted
The proud dad of three boys was spreading gravel when a truck
touched a power wire.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Sat., July 22, 2006
A summer like any other for Pete
SZABO -- sports with his three
boys, a little boating, doing odd jobs for relatives -- ended
tragically yesterday with a workplace electrocution.
SZABO, who worked for Lambton County's public works department,
was killed after a dump truck's metal box, raised on hydraulics,
touched an electrical wire, shocking him while he worked with
a road crew near Alvinston.
"We just can't comprehend it all," said Trudy
LADANCHUK, whose
sister, Jo-Anne, was married to
SZABO.
"He's a great dad… and a great husband.
"You can't imagine something like this happening."
Ontario Labour Ministry officials were investigating with the
Ontario Provincial Police following the incident along Petrolia
Line, between Nauvoo and Inwood roads, shortly before 8 a.m.
yesterday. The road was closed for about five hours.
The dump truck was emptying gravel that
SZABO, operating a machine
that may have been touching the truck, was spreading along the
shoulder of a newly paved road.
When the truck's box, or bucket, was raised to a 45-degree angle,
it touched the line, police said. Though the shock killed
SZABO,
who was pronounced dead at the Petrolia hospital, the truck driver
wasn't hurt, police said.
There were lingering safety concerns at the site for hours after.
"There's the potential for the (dump truck's) tires to explode
in the next 24 hours because of the charge they could be carrying,"
Const. Aaron
McPHAIL said.
Lambton County officials expressed their sympathies in a statement.
SZABO's death saddened everyone in the 35-person public works
department, it said.
"We strive to ensure our employees are working in safe conditions.
The (Labour) Ministry's report will be reviewed closely so that
we can prevent tragic losses like this."
For SZABO, who loved his job, life mainly revolved around the
activities of his three boys, ages 15, 18 and 21, who are heavily
into sports.
"They (play) hockey, soccer, football. He liked taking the kids
to that," Ladanchuk said. "He loved his three boys."
A native of Petrolia,
SZABO was one of three children, including
a twin brother, born to immigrants from the former Czechoslovakia.
Helping them out, his sister-in-law said, was always a priority.
Just a day before his death, he visited his mother's home to
hang a picture and fix a tap.
"He liked to fix things,"
LADANCHUK said. "Everybody's just basically
in severe (disbelief)."

Dream dies with car crash
Jeffrey DAWDRY was working toward becoming a cop.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., September 13,
An Ingersoll man working toward his dream of becoming a police
officer was killed in a car crash this week.
Jeffrey DAWDRY, who had volunteered since 2004 as an auxiliary
officer with Waterloo Regional police, graduated only two weeks
ago from the police foundations program at London's Westervelt
College.
"About the last three or four years (his focus) was strictly
to become a police officer," Garry
DAWDRY said of his son yesterday.
"He would have made a damn good one, too."
The 37-year-old
DAWDRY was in Sarnia on Monday, working for a
lawn care company, when his vehicle left the road and crashed,
killing him.
His family was told he had a heart attack while driving.
A Huron Park high school graduate,
DAWDRY grew up largely in
Woodstock, but had moved to Ingersoll in recent years.
He's survived by his wife, Jennifer, and eight-year-old son,
Ryan.
Family described
DAWDRY as a smooth talker with a great sense
of humour whose hobbies included playing horseshoes.
At Westervelt, where he had just completed the year-long police
program, DAWDRY's death blindsided officials.
"We're extremely shocked and saddened," said Linda
KALMIKOV,
who oversees the police course and knew
DAWDRY well.
"He was extremely well-liked by all the staff, all the officers
who teach here and all his classmates without exception. Just
a really dynamic individual."
The school's flag was at half-mast yesterday,
KALMIKOV noted.
Auxiliary officers work alongside full-time police, but are unarmed
and unpaid.
Waterloo police remembered
DAWDRY, who worked mainly in the Cambridge
unit, as a dedicated worker whose death has rattled the force.
"Jeffrey… committed a fair bit of his spare time (to making)
Waterloo a better place to live," Insp. Bryan
LARKIN said.
"He far exceeded the expectations of our organization."

Missing London boater's body pulled from lake near Erieau
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., September 20,
A body found in Lake Erie has been identified as a missing Londoner
who disappeared while boating with a friend last month.
Bill HENDERSON, 61, who owned his own renovations company, cast
off from the Port Glasgow Yacht Club with longtime friend Joe
MAJER on August 20 in
HENDERSON's five-metre fibreglass boat.
Soon afterward, marina owner Carol
WOLF received a distress call,
which triggered a huge police search.
But after four days -- during which the body of
MAJER, 73, was
found 13 kilometres offshore -- police called off the search
for HENDERSON.
Last weekend, a boater found a body floating near
the small Chatham-Kent town of Erieau.
Police recovered the body Saturday about three nautical miles
from shore and later identified it as
HENDERSON,
Ontario
Provincial
Police
Const.
Michelle
SCOTT said yesterday.
That investigators, who scoured along the coast near Erieau on
August 24, didn't find
HENDERSON sooner underscores the difficulties
of marine searches, she added.
"We have no control over the water and weather,"
SCOTT said,
adding the original search grid didn't cover the eventual discovery
spot. "That's what takes over the investigation."
HENDERSON, who had been Friends with
MAJER since they were neighbours
in the 1970s, was an experienced boater and hunter.
One day after the disappearance,
HENDERSON was described by family
as a "very, very experienced boater, fisher (and) hunter," who
saw leisurely boat trips as "his escape."
"It was what he did when he could when he wasn't working," daughter
Kara HENDERSON said. "His life was working, fishing and hunting."
The disappearances of
HENDERSON and
MAJER came almost exactly
seven years after a 1999 boating mishap off Port Glasgow that
killed five people. In that case, it was more than three months
before all the bodies were recovered.
While this week's discovery was disappointing, police expressed
some relief for
HENDERSON's relatives.
"Obviously we always want to keep our hopes high (for) a positive
ending," SCOTT said.
"It's unfortunate that it wasn't a positive conclusion, but at
least it wasn't as long a wait for the family."

Arrested man dies in hospital
The Special Investigations Unit is probing the arrest of martial
artist Mitchell
KOH.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Fri., September 22,
An accomplished martial artist and aspiring actor who was hospitalized
after he was arrested by London police has died.
Mitchell KOH, 34, died Wednesday, the Special Investigations
Unit, Ontario's police watchdog agency, announced yesterday.
The London man was taken to Victoria Hospital with critical injuries
after being arrested September 12.
"The focus remains the same," said Rose
BLISS, a spokesperson
with the Special Investigations Unit, which launched its probe
into the incident last week. "And that is to gather the facts
and come to an understanding… of what is now a death."
A post-mortem is scheduled for today.
London police were called about 6 a.m. September 12 to a 7-Eleven
store on Southdale Road where a man was "acting strangely," the
Special Investigations Unit said. He was reportedly carrying
two knives.
Three officers were involved in an "altercation" with the man,
who then showed signs of what the Special Investigations Unit
termed medical distress. He was taken to hospital, where he remained
in critical condition for more than a week.
London police declined comment on the case last week, citing
the Special Investigations Unit investigation.
The owner of a London martial arts studio yesterday recalled
KOH, who often trained there, as a friendly, quiet person with
a black belt in taekwondo.
"He was very friendly, very respectful," said Issam
THABIT, who
owns Integrity Taekwondo and learned of the death from
KOH's
family yesterday. "Everybody liked him, (but) at the same time
he was very quiet. He just comes in, trains."
Though his sister declined comment yesterday, according to an
online biography,
KOH attained his black belt five years ago.
He listed "information technology" as his occupation.
He also worked in films, playing the role of an assassin in the
1996 movie Expect No Mercy, starring well-known martial artist
Billy Blanks. He also had an uncredited part in the film Serendipity.
The online profile also included a personal quote: "Learning
to love yourself is the greatest love of all," it read.
The Special Investigations Unit is a provincial agency that investigates
whenever police are involved in incidents that cause serious
injury or death to civilians.
Two other incidents sparked Special Investigations Unit probes
in London this year: the arrest of a man on July 1 and a van
crash May 6 in which four people were hurt.
In both cases, London police were cleared of any wrongdoing.

stabbing death of an expectant father described by kin as "a
super guy."
Ryan STEELE, who would have been 27 next month, was stabbed outside
a Park Street house in Chatham's east end early Sunday.
He leaves behind a girlfriend three months pregnant.
"Ryan was a very, very nice guy," Dennis
STEELE said of his son,
who worked at the International truck assembly plant. "He's going
to be missed."
Though they rarely spoke of the excitement of impending fatherhood,
Dennis STEELE says it was obvious the young couple was thrilled
to be having a child.
"Just seeing their faces -- he was very excited about it, with
this new baby coming on," he said.
People were at the Park Street home after the bars closed Sunday
morning, police said.
STEELE was stabbed several times about 4: 30 a.m., police said.
Chatham-Kent police were still interviewing witnesses: yesterday,
Const. Doug
GUTTERIDGE said. Official autopsy results weren't
known.
STEELE, who lived in Oakville in his high school years, grew
up dreaming of playing professional baseball and the sport remained
a passion, Dennis
STEELE said.
The funeral is tentatively scheduled for Friday.
Mark LIST, 23, of Chatham has been charged with first-degree
murder. He made his first court appearance yesterday.

Homicide ruling worries neighbours
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed. November 8, 2006
The death of an elderly Saint Thomas man found in his apartment
building elevator has been ruled a homicide, shocking other tenants.
Marcel LACHANCE, 77, was found dead Saturday in the Grand Central
apartments at 294 Talbot St. Saint Thomas police originally said
he may have died of natural causes.
But last night, investigators said the well-liked man -- known
for riding on his trademark scooter -- died as a result of foul
play.
"It's left the building in a state of shock," said Kay
BAKER,
68, who knew
LACHANCE to say hello.
"I quiver. I keep my door locked (and) I never used to. I just
stay inside here."
LACHANCE lived on the seventh floor of the 12-storey complex
attached to another apartment highrise.
Saint Thomas police were called to the building last Saturday after
LACHANCE's body was found in the elevator.
One officer at the scene that day told reporters he believed
the man died of natural causes. But it was ruled a homicide after
a post-mortem at London's University Hospital yesterday.
LACHANCE moved out of the building a few years ago until his
wife died, then returned, said Doreen
CAIRNS, who also lives
on the seventh floor.
She said he was friendly and had no problems with anyone.
"He was a very nice guy," said
CAIRNS, 76, who lives with her
husband.
"I used to tease him -- I told him he should get a trailer to
go behind his scooter so he could give us women a ride.
"(This) is a scary thought, until they find out who did it."
Police are still investigating and issued a statement last night.
A spokesperson declined comment.
"Police are reminding citizens… to be mindful of personal security
strategies, such as looking doors…" it read.

Don't swerve for animals, police say after fatal crash
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed. November 8, 2006
The death of a 20-year-old driver whose car crashed while swerving
to avoid a deer has sparked another police warning about the
increasingly common highway hazard.
There were six such collisions on local roads over 24 hours ending
yesterday morning, including one that led to the death of Bradley
SLOETJES of Lucknow.
"It can happen in any area," said Lambton Ontario Provincial
Police Const. John Reurink. "It's a hazard we have to put up
with. Be very careful and be watchful of the road ahead of you."
Lambton County roads have been littered with more than 100 deer-vehicle
collisions this fall, including 25 last month. There were five
more crashes there Monday and yesterday, police said.
No one was hurt in any of those collisions.
But a similar crash in Huron County proved fatal Monday night,
police said.
It was shortly before 9 p.m. when a car driving along Lucan Line
in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Township swerved trying to avoid
a deer, police said.
The car went into a ditch, striking a utility pole and rolling
several times.
SLOETJES, 20, was taken to Wingham hospital, where
he died.
Reurink urged drivers to avoid swerving when faced with a deer,
or any other animal, on the road.
"The actual swerving (could) cause you to put yourself in a far
more dangerous situation," he said. "You're changing the direction
of your vehicle and you will lose control."
The period from September to November is considered deer-rutting
season, when the animals mate and migrate.
The provincial transportation ministry says 24 people were killed
in 22 collisions with wildlife over a four-year period ending
in 2003.

Dead man recently lost son
Gary KAUFMAN, killed in an armed standoff, was mourning the death
of his baby boy.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., November 29, 2006
The Oxford County man killed during an armed standoff with police
endured several recent stressful events, including the death
of his newborn son, his family said yesterday.
Gary KAUFMAN, 36, was found dead in his Innerkip trailer late
Monday, eight hours after police converged on his rural neighbourhood
northeast of Woodstock amid "threatening complaints" involving
an armed man.
"(Gary) really loved that little boy,"
KAUFMAN's stepmother,
Lona KAUFMAN, said of young Elijah, who was born in April but
died a month later.
The past few months, she added, had been "very stressful" for
KAUFMAN.
A welder employed in Woodstock,
KAUFMAN also split from his common-law
wife -- Elijah's mother -- within the last month.
Ontario's police watchdog agency, the Special Investigations
Unit, is investigating the extent of officer involvement in the
death.
Oxford Community police and Ontario Provincial Police officers
were called about 3: 30 p.m. Monday to the trailer
KAUFMAN had
been renting for the past year along Township Road 6 in Innerkip.
They found him "barricaded" inside, the Special Investigations
Unit said.
Police closed surrounding roads and evacuated residents of nearby
homes before they started negotiating, the Special Investigations
Unit said. It was just past 11 p.m. when officers entered the
trailer to find
KAUFMAN dead.
He died of a gunshot wound, the Special Investigations Unit said.
"There was no indication police discharged any firearms," said
Rose Bliss, an Special Investigations Unit spokesperson.
An autopsy was scheduled for yesterday.
KAUFMAN moved into the trailer, which is only about two kilometres
from his childhood home, to be closer to family, his stepmother
said.
"He was down in St. Catharines for a few years, but he always
loved to be home," Lona
KAUFMAN said. "He loved it when he got
this trailer… because he was home.
"He would either call or he would be up here (every day)."
Elio MADURA, who lives on the property and rented the trailer
to KAUFMAN, yesterday described a stressful standoff during which
he and his wife were forced out of their home overnight.
"He lived there but when this all happened, nobody actually knew
who was there,"
MADURA said. "We had to leave (and) we didn't
know what was going on.
"He kept to himself. I have nothing to say against him."

Owner killed in pursuit of truck
The London hit-and-run victim was determined to get his stolen
pickup back.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., December 13, 2006
A London police officer keeps watch at the home of Phil
BOISMIER.
(Derek RUTTAN,
The
London
Free
Press)
Phil BOISMIER said he knew who took his truck and he wanted to
get it back.
But in a bizarre twist of fate that took his life,
BOISMIER,
52, was struck while trying to flag down his white GMC pickup
Monday night in what police yesterday called a hit-and-run.
"I saw him out there, waving his hands and that's the last thing
I knew," said neighbour Tom
HARTLEY, who was driving the retired
General Motors worker along Rectory Street when they saw his
truck nearby.
"Hit by his own vehicle… I wish I wasn't there."
HARTLEY got a call Monday from
BOISMIER, his neighbour in a north-end
subdivision, asking for a ride to help recover the truck he said
was taken. Though
HARTLEY didn't know their destination, he said
he agreed to drive.
The two were driving north on Rectory Street,
HARTLEY said, when
BOISMIER spotted his truck ahead of them.
But with a train crossing Rectory and stopping traffic, the truck
turned around into the south lanes,
HARTLEY said. His passenger
jumped out to flag it down and was struck near Little Simcoe
Street.
A cabbie drove by soon after and called 911, he added.
"I'm pretty shaken,"
HARTLEY said, visibly upset by the incident.
"(Police) told me on the way home (Monday) night that he had
passed away."
Yesterday, police released a description of the truck.
The 2006 pickup police said was involved in the hit-and-run about
9 p.m. Monday was registered to
BOISMIER.
The truck was later found and two people arrested, police said.
No charges were announced yesterday.
Police yesterday were stationed outside
BOISMIER's home on Idylwood
Road, a short street just northeast of the intersection of Highbury
Avenue and Huron Street.
Several nearby residents called
BOISMIER, who retired from General
Motors about three years ago, friendly and well-known throughout
the neighbourhood.
"He came and met us when we moved in -- nice guy," Andy
JAMES
said. "A nice guy, but a little different."
Added another neighbour, identifying herself only as April: "He
was definitely a person that went around the neighbourhood saying
'Hi' to everyone."
The probe continues, police said. Anyone who saw the collision
is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 519-661-8477.

Rash of fatals plagues area
A woman killed in Oxford County is the latest victim.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., December 13, 2006
Another driver was killed yesterday on an Oxford County road,
one of several deaths in the region over the past week.
It's unlikely weather played a role in the collision between
a car and minivan on Highway 19, near Tillsonburg, about 10: 30 a.m.
yesterday, police said.
"It was clear and dry at the time," Oxford Ontario Provincial
Police Const. Dennis Harwood said.
Both drivers were removed from their vehicles by firefighters,
police said, and the woman driving the car died at the scene.
Her name wasn't released, pending family notification, police
said.
The minivan's driver, Marilyn
CLARKSON, 43, of Tillsonburg was
flown to Victoria Hospital in London with undisclosed injuries.
Her two passengers, Stephanie
CLARKSON, the driver's 18-year-old
daughter, and Jason
SCOTT, 21, of Tillsonburg, were treated and
released.
Oxford County's rash of bad crashes started last Thursday when
two 20-vehicle pileups occurred -- almost simultaneously -- on
separate sides of the Highway 401 near Woodstock. Eight people
were hospitalized, including one with critical injuries.
A 49-year-old Aylmer man died the next day while a 15-year-old
girl was killed in a rollover Saturday near Norwich.
There was also a pair of crashes Sunday: Stanley
PONTING, 81,
was killed in a collision near Norwich that sent four others
to Tillsonburg hospital.
Hours later, a 73-year-old woman suffered critical injuries in
a crash at Norwich and Base Line roads. The woman, who hasn't
been identified, remained in critical condition yesterday, police
said.
While he didn't comment on the causes of those crashes, Harwood
offered a warning to others hitting the road this winter.
"Driving is a full-time responsibility," he said. "People need
to concentrate on their driving whether it's good weather or
bad weather."

Woman dies, child spared
An autopsy will determine whether medical factors may have led
to the death of Barbara
WICKERSON, 73.

MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Wed., December 20, 2006
A two-vehicle crash claimed the life of a woman yesterday morning
at Thirteen Mile and Wonderland roads. (Mike
HENSEN,
London
Free
Press)
Birr -- A London-area woman is dead after a two-vehicle crash
near here yesterday that also affected a three-year-old girl.
Barbara WICKERSON, 73, was driving east along Thirteen Mile Road
at 10 a.m. when her eastbound sport utility vehicle collided
at Wonderland Road with a minivan heading south, Middlesex Ontario
Provincial Police said.
An autopsy today will examine if medical factors may have contributed
to the death of the Middlesex Centre woman, officers said at
the scene, about seven kilometres north of London.
Her injuries, they noted, didn't appear severe enough to have
been fatal.
Three generations of the same family were in the minivan, including
Nikaia SIRE-
RODRIGUES, 3, of Toronto. Her mother, Marcie
SIRE,
30, and grandmother, Harolyn
SIRE, 59, of Lucan, were hurt.
The toddler was properly strapped into a car seat and that likely
saved her from injury, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Chris
HUNTER said. "It's just great to see the compliance from parents"
to the provincial car seat laws."
Long stretches of road around the rural intersection were closed
for hours yesterday as Ontario Provincial Police investigators
examined the scene.
The minivan, which had been heading south toward London, came
to rest several metres from the road in an open field. The sport
utility vehicle, with major front-left damage, ended up nearby.
No charges will be laid, Const. Doug
GRAHAM said.
