Driver rescued from watery ditch
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Tues., February 7, 2006
A Woodstock woman trapped in her overturned car as it filled
with water escaped drowning yesterday when one of her rescuers
held her head out of the water as three others worked to free
her.
"They did an awesome job," London police Const. Ian
NORMAN said
of the four men who stopped to help the unidentified woman. "It
was lousy cold out here and the road was bad.
"They reacted quickly and got her out of a dangerous situation,"
he said at the site of the rescue near London International Airport.
The crash happened two days after a 32-year-old Keswick woman
and her four-year-old son died when their sport utility vehicle
sank in a canal north of Toronto. (A story on that incident is
on Page B10.)
The Woodstock woman was driving a car north on Crumlin Sideroad
south of Oxford Street about 9: 20 a.m. when the vehicle slid
off the snowy road and rolled into a water-filled drainage ditch.
She was trapped -- hanging upside-down by a seatbelt she couldn't
release -- as the car rapidly filled with water.
Fanshawe
College accounting students Shaun
MacDONALD and Gary
ARMSTRONG saw the woman's car fishtail, slide and flip.
"It was kind of surreal to watch because it seemed to be in slow
motion," ARMSTRONG said.
He and
MacDONALD stopped to help.
So did two other unidentified men in another vehicle, said
MacDONALD,
who jumped into the frigid water with them while
ARMSTRONG called
emergency services on his cellphone.
"One of the guys was holding her head up while we worked to get
her out," MacDONALD said.
"I opened up the driver's door and the inside of the car was
half-submerged in the water. She was panicky at first, but calmed
down."
MacDONALD said the men also were unable to release the seatbelt
and had to cut it with scissors fetched from one of the vehicles.
"We pulled her out of the car and took her to our van to warm
her up," he said.
The woman was worried about a laptop computer in the water,
MacDONALD
said.
"She was fine, but a little shaken up. She was worried about
an essay that's due."
Paramedics in an ambulance whisked her away for treatment.
Yesterday's high winds, blowing snow and sloppy roads produced
a rash of problems in Southwestern Ontario.
Driving conditions were so bad in some areas that sections of
highways 4, 6, 8, 9, 21 and 23 in Bruce, Huron, Perth and Wellington
counties were closed.
Thousands of students in Middlesex, Huron and Perth counties
stayed home yesterday as school buses and elementary and secondary
schools sat idle.
About 2,500 customers in Lambton and Huron counties were without
power at times yesterday because of the weather conditions, Hydro
One reported.

'Real team player' lived dream as officer
Ken DEANE is recalled as a 'top, top cop,' despite his public
persona.
By Joe MATYAS and April
KEMICK, Free Press Reporters, Mon., February
Long before Ken
DEANE became infamous as the Ontario Provincial
Police sniper who fatally shot Dudley
GEORGE at Ipperwash, he
was a London teen who wanted to be a police officer.
He was a bright student and energetic athlete who emerged as
a leader in his teens, high school friend Tim
HUFF once told
The Free Press.
DEANE was in Grade 12 at South secondary school when he decided
he wanted to get into law enforcement, said
HUFF, adding he pounded
a beat for the London police force in the 1980s after taking
law and security at Fanshawe College.
A few years later,
DEANE applied to the Ontario Provincial Police
tactics and rescue unit and was accepted, eventually becoming
part of an explosives disposal team.
But for people like
HUFF,
DEANE was a guy who remained in touch
with old Friends.
There were annual weekends with the guys in cottage country,
where DEANE would be a highlight with stories about police work.
Family and Friends will miss him deeply, brother-in-law Grant
TEEPLE of Aylmer said yesterday in reaction to
DEANE's sudden
death in a highway crash on Saturday.
DEANE's death was a shock, he said, adding family and Friends
had a chance to enjoy his company at a gathering "up north" a
few days ago.
DEANE wasn't the guy portrayed in the media,
TEEPLE said.
TEEPLE
wouldn't say what
DEANE did after he left the Ontario Provincial
Police.
DEANE's public persona is connected to the shooting of
GEORGE
at Ipperwash on September 6, 1995, his subsequent court conviction
for criminal negligence causing death in 1997 and his dismissal
from the Ontario Provincial Police for discreditable police conduct
in 2002.
London lawyer Norm
PEEL, who knew
DEANE for years before representing
him in his criminal trial, said yesterday he was a model police
officer whose reputation was wrongly tarnished.
"I still hold my strongest view that he was just a top, top cop,"
PEEL said. "I have nothing but absolute respect for him. Always
will."
DEANE had a reputation among other officers for being a "real
team player,"
PEEL said. "His whole story of his life was about
helping people. He had a model background."
During his trial,
DEANE testified that he saw muzzle flashes
the light of gunfire -- come from some bushes during a confusing
skirmish.
He said he shot
GEORGE after he stepped out of the bushes with
a gun.
In convicting
DEANE on April 27, 1997, Judge Hugh
FRASER rejected
his testimony and those of other police officers as fabricated.
The verdict surprised members of the
GEORGE family.
But their feelings that justice had been done were dashed on
July 3, 1997, when
FRASER gave
DEANE a conditional sentence of
two years less a day with 180 hours of community service.
Cries of "murderer, murderer" filled the courtroom after the
sentence as members of the
GEORGE family wept.

Local history his passion
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Sun., March 12, 2006
Raymond CRINKLAW travelled the world but it was his Westminster
Township roots that became his passion.
And that's why many Lambeth-area residents paid their respects
to him after he died in late February at the age of 91 in a London
nursing home.
"It was his prodding that got us going," said Marian
WELDON of
the founding of the Westminster Township Historical Society in
"We're really missing him now," said
WELDON, secretary of the
society. CRINKLAW was the society's founding president.
"We're compiling a history of Delaware and Westminster townships
now and Raymond's knowledge and memories would be invaluable."
His contribution to local history is already huge because of
the research he left to posterity, including documents donated
to the society by his daughter, Janet
GIBSON, who lives in Sutton,
said WELDON.
The heritage room at the Lambeth public library is full of materials
collected, organized and written by
CRINKLAW, said Doris
MONTGOMERY
of Delaware, known as Doris
BOND during her long career as a
Lambeth librarian.
"Raymond was a tireless researcher and a familiar figure at our
library."
CRINKLAW painstakingly poked through newspaper archives, municipal
and church records and even cemeteries, she said.
He could be wilful, but also committed his own resources to projects,
said local historian Fred
ARMSTRONG.
"He subsidized some publications out of his own pocket and kept
scrapbooks of interesting materials."
His research blossomed into the writing of newspaper articles,
essays and publications on the early days of Byron, Talbot Road,
Glanworth and Westminster Township.
To complement the written word, he commissioned artist George
Rickard to render pen and ink drawings.
CRINKLAW's legacy included service to the community as reeve
and deputy reeve of the township, as a Middlesex County councillor
and member of the Lower Thames River Conservation Authority,
said David
MURRAY, former Westminster mayor.
He was also active in the Lambeth Optimist Club and Masons, said
MURRAY.
"He had an endless curiosity about all aspects of Masonic history,
as well as the township where he was born and raised."

An inspiration to many
Sister Katherine
McKEOUGH was a warm, open and supportive leader.
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Sun., April 30, 2006
Only
God knows how many people Sister Katherine
McKEOUGH influenced
and inspired.
But there's no question the late former leader of the Sisters
of Saint_Joseph did both, said a nun who knew her for 35 years.
"She was a mentor type of person who led by example," said Sister
Margot RITCHIE. "
Her greatest gift was her ability to accept
everyone as an individual with no sense of judgment."
McKEOUGH, general superior of the religious order from 1979 to
1987, died peacefully at Mount Saint_Joseph in London on April 13.
She was 85.
She was a warm, open and supportive leader at the convent during
a period of change that occurred in Catholic communities after
the Second Vatican Council, said
RITCHIE, who paid tribute to
McKEOUGH at a wake.
"She was very much what we needed, someone with a curious, inquisitive
mind who supported people who were wrestling with new ideas and
wanted to try new things."
McKEOUGH had strong opinions and enjoyed friendly debates with
people with different views, said
RITCHIE.
"She didn't demand that you think like her or do it her way.
She had an inquiring mind and was not afraid to address any question."
It was clear to all that Sister Katherine loved God,
RITCHIE
said. "It wasn't a disembodied kind of piety. She lived life
to the fullest in relationships with people. She helped people
believe in their own goodness."
Retired social worker Marg
PHIPPS, who worked with
McKEOUGH in
the psychiatric department of Saint_Joseph's Hospital in the 1950s
and '60s in London, said she was "a therapist to the staff as
well as the patients. She had a knack for getting the best out
of both."
head nurse in the department,
McKEOUGH had "an exceptional ability
to listen" and great skill working with people with emotional
problems, said
PHIPPS.
After McKEOUGH's tenure as general superior, she moved out of
the motherhouse and into a home on Queens Avenue with formerly
homeless women, offering them Friendship and encouragement, said
RITCHIE.

Administrator had old-school style
Dorothy DOAN ran Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital with a
firm but gentle hand.
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Sun., July 2, 2006
For a quarter of a century, Dorothy
DOAN held a lofty position
as the top hospital administrator in Strathroy.
She was also the "mother hen" of patients and staff.
DOAN started with the title of superintendent in 1956 and retired
as executive director in 1981.
Under her supervision, a new hospital was built in 1962 and two
floors added in 1973 and 1974.
DOAN died June 10 at the age of 90 in Strathroy Middlesex General
Hospital, leaving a legacy difficult to match, a former co-worker
said.
DOAN fought bureaucracy and government cutbacks, Trevor
NESBITT
said.
She also raised the bar at the hospital by introducing accreditation
standards.
"She had a style of administration that doesn't exist anymore,"
said NESBITT, who worked with
DOAN for 17 years.
"It was different than the cool, efficient professionalism of
today."
DOAN was a great administrator in an old-school way, he said.
"I would describe her as a mother hen. She made sure she knew
everyone and she cared about them -- staff and patients."
DOAN was known for visiting every patient almost every day,
NESBITT
said.
"I guess it was a case of once a nurse, always a nurse."
DOAN trained at the Strathroy Hospital School of Nursing, graduating
in 1935. She went overseas with the Canadian Military Nurses
Association in 1942, serving in South Africa, Egypt and Italy.
After returning to Canada, she studied at the University of Toronto
and worked at Toronto Western Hospital.
Her career at Strathroy hospital made her one of the first Canadian
women to become a fellow of the American College of Hospital
Administrators.
She was also a charter member of the Canadian College of Hospital
Administrators.
DOAN's management style was collegial,
NESBITT said.
"She never uttered a cross word. She tried to include everyone
in decisions and she encouraged people to take responsibility
and advance their careers."
DOAN also shared success.
"She didn't hog the limelight, she always gave credit to others
and acknowledged their contributions,"
NESBITT said.
"Most people loved working with her."
There are countless stories of
DOAN going the extra mile for
a patient or staff member.
One involved a doctor who was away during a snowstorm. His wife
and two young children were snowed in with backed-up plumbing.
Somehow DOAN found out about it and 10 minutes later, two plumbers
in snowmobile suits knocked at the door of the doctor's home.
"Dorothy seemed to sense when people needed help and stepped
in," NESBITT said.
She opened the hospital to stranded motorists during a blizzard
in 1972, feeding and accommodating about 200 people and staff
who couldn't get home.

Woman dies after choking at fair
Janet RUDD, 32, was taking part in a marshmallow eating- and-talking
contest.
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Fri., September 15, 2006
A disaster waiting to happen
A 32-year-old woman who collapsed after a marshmallow eating-and-talking
contest at the Western Fair this week has died in a London hospital,
a spokesperson said yesterday.
The woman was identified as Janet
RUDD of 68 Grand Ave. by two
sources contacted by The Free Press yesterday.
One said
RUDD was working at a horticultural booth at the fair
with her twin sister, Jennifer, on Tuesday night.
"She took a break and never came back," said the source.
"Janet was a sweet, shy person and they would have had to talk
her into the event. I'm sure she would have been a reluctant
participant. It's not something you would expect her to do."
A friend said last night the woman's family, who declined comment,
wanted to be left alone to mourn in private.
RUDD collapsed offstage Tuesday night just after the daily Chubby
Bunny contest.
The event, since cancelled by the fair, requires contestants
to pop one marshmallow at a time into their mouths and say "chubby
bunny" to amuse spectators until they can't say it anymore.
Saint_John's Ambulance staff came to
RUDD's aid with a defibrillator
and suction equipment, but were unable to remove the blockage
in the unconscious woman's throat.
Thames Valley Emergency Medical Services paramedics took her
to Victoria Hospital, where she had remained in critical condition.
A spokesperson for London Health Sciences Centre yesterday said
the woman had died.
Manager Dave
TAILOR/TAYLOR said Western Fair was informed of the death
yesterday.
"We called the family to see how the young woman was and we were
told she died last night (Wednesday)," he said.
"The family told us they want to deal with this as a private
family matter and Western Fair is going to respect that. Our
staff is very upset this happened at the fair."
Fair officials cancelled all remaining Chubby Bunny events after
RUDD was taken to hospital.
One source said the twin sisters lived with their parents in
the Grand Avenue home in London where they grew up.
"They were very close. They shared a room. I can't imagine how
hard this is going to be for Jennifer."
The source said the twins lost a close friend about three months
ago who choked to death.
"It's an irony, a tragedy."
She said they were both members of a Bible study group and "very
religious, very good women." They attended South secondary school
together, she said.
The other source said the twins were active in the Conservative
party.
"They were thrilled to meet Stephen Harper (now prime minister)
during the federal election campaign early this year," she said.

Canada's first news anchor had flawless, direct delivery
Larry HENDERSON died Monday in London's Parkwood Hospital at
By Joe MATYAS, Free Press Reporter, Wed., November 29, 2006
Larry HENDERSON was the first regular news reader on Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation-television's The National News. (Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation file photo)
The man who pioneered the role of television news anchor in Canada
died Monday in London at the age of 89.
Larry HENDERSON was "the first real anchor and nationally known
television news personality" in the country, Michael
NOLAN said
yesterday.
"He helped make the nightly news broadcast a national institution,"
said NOLAN, a former news anchor and professor of journalism
at the University of Western Ontario.
"He embedded the notion of the anchor in people's minds at a
time when Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television was expanding
across the nation."
Born and raised in Montreal,
HENDERSON studied music at McGill
University and spent some time in England as a Shakespearean
actor, sharing the stage with such notables as Alec Guinness.
In a 1990 interview with The Free Press, he told
NOLAN "those
years were useful to me because I learned there the hard rules
of presenting words, ideas and yourself to the public."
HENDERSON joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio
staff in 1940. He later enlisted in the Canadian Army, serving
in North Africa and Italy during the Second World War.
Following the war, he returned to radio broadcasting in Toronto
where he hosted the Headliners show on CFRB.
In 1950, HENDERSON became the first Canadian broadcaster to cover
the Korean War. He spent three years in Europe, interviewing
world figures for Headliners, and in 1954, he became Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation television's National News reader.
Canadian television was barely two years old then, said
NOLAN,
adding there was "a hazy period" before
HENDERSON became the
anchor when various announcers delivered short reports.
"He had a knack for it. He could look at copy and memorize it
well enough to deliver the news flawlessly while looking directly
into the camera."
The fact he hardly ever made mistakes was amazing, considering
there were no teleprompters, said
NOLAN.
HENDERSON had an authoritative air and conveyed credibility largely
because he was a newsman with field experience,
NOLAN said.
"He wasn't just someone who read the news in a studio."
HENDERSON was the face of the National News until 1959. After
that he worked for CFI radio, CHCH television and CTV
National News.
During the 1970s,
HENDERSON helped Tanzania organize its national
broadcasting system. In 1974, he became editor of the Catholic
Register. He was also managing editor of Challenge, a Catholic
monthly, before retiring in 2002.
HENDERSON had been living quietly in London since 1988. He died
in his sleep at Parkwood Hospital, said his son Graham, a Toronto
lawyer.
HENDERSON's other son, Ross, a Strathroy resident, is also a
lawyer.
A funeral mass for him is planned for tomorrow in Toronto.
