SHANAHAN, Frances Lucy (March 6, 1959-May 23, 2006)
With deep sadness we mourn the loss of our dear sister Frances. Much loved and sorrowfully missed by her mother Mary SHANAHAN, Frances was predeceased by her father John SHANAHAN in 1972. Brothers and sisters Frederick, Maria, John, Martin, Thomas, Theresa, Eileen and Margaret have lost a trusted and constant companion. Frances was sister-in-law and friend to Lilian, Susan and Laura SHANAHAN, also Chris McDONALD, Mark LANIGAN and Andrew EVANGELISTA. She was devoted to her nieces and nephews Niall, Claire, Miriam, Fiona, Aislynn, John Anthony, Mary, Michael, Martin, Joseph, Adam, Ruth, John Patrick, Julia, Sophia, Luke and Maria. Frances delighted in all the children and loved them dearly. Her kindness and compassion, coupled with an unwavering family loyalty, bonded her in a unique and special way to each member of her family. Frances enriched all our lives with her insight, intelligence and humour. Her innate ability to evoke the best in people - listening, understanding and caring for others - endeared her to family and Friends alike. In her final illness Frances gathered her family around her and we drew inspiration from the courage and strength of her brave spirit. The joy of her presence will be ever present for us in the enduring memories of her sweet and lovely nature. We seem to give them back to you, O God, You who gave them to us, Yet as you did not lose them in giving So do we not lose them by their return... And life is eternal and love is immortal and death is only a horizon and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. Lift us up, strong son of God that we may see further; cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly. Draw us closer to yourself that we may know ourselves to be nearer our loved ones who are with you. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Doctor Robert SAULS for his patience and compassion. Also, thanks to the dedicated staff of Oncology/Palliative Care (2c) at Credit Valley Hospital.

Roberto ARIGANELLO, Filmmaker (1961-2006)
He ran the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto and its annual festival of movies rejected by Toronto International Film Festival
By Noreen SHANAHAN, Special▼ to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
Toronto -- Roberto ARIGANELLO was at once a filmmaker and the heart and soul of a tiny, obscure co-operative dedicated to producing short, contemporary art films for an equally small and arcane audience.
An artist in his own right who laboured at deeply personal projects, he was devoted to his role as the executive director of the Liaison of Independent Films of Toronto, a group that celebrates movies rejected by the Toronto International Film Festival.
Called the National Salon des Refusés, the alternative film festival was inspired by an exhibition of paintings rejected by the censorious French Académie des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1863. At the time, the Academie decided which artists received public exhibitions. Any work that strayed from realism, which reflected "good art" at the time, was rejected. In 1863, the Academie was especially judgmental and rejected 2,800 canvases. In response, the emperor, Louis Napoleon, demanded that the Academie display the rejected works in a separate exhibition called the Salon des Refusés.
Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto's version of the Salon des Refusés is a non-curated selection of Canadian films that run no more than 20 minutes and were rejected by Toronto International Film Festival. The films are chosen in a lottery and selected filmmakers are reimbursed their Toronto International Film Festival entry fee. Every September, Mr. ARIGANELLO organized the Salon des Refusés from start to finish in support of independent filmmakers.
His friend and colleague, Deirdre LOGUE, said his influence and impact on the national film Community was immeasurable. It was not unusual for him to deliver film equipment to various artistic communities across Canada. In a recent edition of Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto's magazine, Film Print, he described a trip he made to a Moose Cree First Nations community in Northern Ontario in March. "Our goal is to create a media arts centre in the North," he wrote. "So I drove a minivan filled with a 16 mm Steenbeck, sound bench, 16 mm projector and workshop supplies… across the frozen Moose river to Moose Factory."
In addition, Mr. ARIGANELLO also headed up the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre and was president of the film and video exhibition collective Pleasure Dome from 2000-2004. He was also a member of the advisory board of the film and television program at Humber College in Toronto and served on the executive board of the Cultural Careers Council of Ontario.
Roberto ARIGANELLO was the son of Nicolina and Giuseppe ARIGANELLO, an Italian couple who arrived in Canada in 1951. The youngest of seven children, he sometimes went missing from the family's apartment in Toronto's west end. As it happened, his mother would invariably look out the window to see him toting heavy bags of groceries up the hill for the old women and men who lived in their building. As a boy, he also came to know personal loss. His sister Connie died when he was five and his parents died within a year of each other while he was in his teens.
Mr. ARIGANELLO graduated from Ryerson University's media studies program in Toronto in 1994 and began exhibiting his work in 1995.
His work usually combined a number of different image sources and drew on influences ranging from cinema-verité and surrealism to the agit-prop films of the Cuban Santiago Alvarez. Loteria (1997), a documentary about the Mexican national lottery and the street vendors who sell the tickets, co-directed with Federico Hidalgo, combined 16 mm colour footage with black and white material shot on super-8 film and then optically printed to 16 mm. Contrafacta (2000), co-directed with Chris Gehman, was a labyrinthine animated film made using paper cutouts from medieval artworks.
Mr. ARIGANELLO's film Shelter (2001) is a multi-layered experimental film That weaves archival social commentary and recent political activism in a playful analysis of our culture's misplaced priorities. The film blends archival footage of circuses, westerns and Pierre Berton discussing the pros and cons of building a bomb shelter with a variety of such appropriated material as a homeless demonstration during the premiere of an Atom Egoyan film.
Mr. ARIGANELLO was critical of what he described as the film industry's current obsession with new digital technology. "Roberto was the spark that began my love of Super 8," said filmmaker Siue MOFFAT. "I had only worked with 16 mm before going into Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto one day and tentatively inquiring with him."
On the other hand, he was aware of the opportunities that cropped up. It was his belief that the death of film was really the chance of a lifetime.
"Every discarded piece of film equipment was worth salvaging, either for Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto or any other interested co-op, because it expanded our opportunities to make work," said long-time friend and colleague Chris KENNEDY. "He provided opportunities to use up the last rolls of regular 8 mm at the same time as he encouraged us to finish in 35 mm."
Mr. ARIGANELLO's last film, which is still in production, tells the story of his grandfather who emigrated to Argentina from Italy in the 1920s. Mr. ARIGANELLO, who twice went to Argentina to gather material, envisioned it as an experimental documentary recounting historical events that significantly contributed to his own sense of self and nationality. His dream was to see it premiered at Toronto International Film Festival or even as his own Salon des Refusé.
Roberto ARIGANELLO was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario on July 20, 1961. He died of drowning on August 13, 2006. He was swimming at Tea Lake, near Halifax. He had gone to Nova Scotia to drop off donated film equipment to the Atlantic Filmmakers Co-operative. He is survived his sisters Maria, Ness, Terry, and JoAnne, and by his brother Tony.

Katherine Riddell ROUILLARD, Educator: (1906-2006)
For 20 years, she ran the International Students' Centre at the University of Toronto and built up a network of global contacts
By Noreen SHANAHAN, Special▲▼ to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Toronto -- It was rare to find Kay Riddell ROUILLARD strolling alone on the University of Toronto campus during her 20-year stint as director of the International Students' Centre, a successful institution housed on St. George Street. You'd be more likely to find her escorting students through the complex framework of the Canadian mosaic. "Behind everything that happened at the International Students' Centre, [she] was the catalyst and the chemistry of mixing people from all over the world," said Roy Fischer, her assistant director during the 1960s. "She had an uncanny sense of what was needed to make it work and she believed that bringing people together in a supportive and stimulating environment made good things happen."
The role of the International Students' Centre is to assist international students with their adjustment to university and Canada. Their mandate includes study-abroad programs for Canadian students in order to further develop global experience.
As well as meeting students on campus, Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD also invited them into her Rosedale home. Some came for tea, some came for Christmas dinner, some temporarily lived there with her and her two children. "Back then, it was considered extraordinary to have a young, handsome black male living on your street," said her son, John RIDDELL. "It was noticed."
Susan Riddell STYLIANOS remembers her mother inviting students home and listening to them discuss their lives. "Someone from South Africa sitting in our living room talking would get her involved in anti-apartheid work."
Sometimes, the lure was irresistible. "It is impossible to talk and work with young men and women every day without beginning to share their deep concerns," Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD said in a 1973 speech. "We have become, indeed, part of one another in a world grown suddenly small."
Born in Quebec, Kay Riddell ROUILLARD was the daughter of Harriet PAGE and Perry DOBSON and grew up in Saint Thomas, Ontario, where for 40 years her father was principal of Alma College, a private school for girls. In a memoir, Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD recalled pressures her mother experienced as the principal's wife and how she was inspired to challenge gender-based limitations in her own life. "I remember mother's anxiety over how she would be judged as the principal's wife -- her clothes, her household possessions, even her children.
"She told me one day that her competence in French and German and math and botany and her handcrafts might be useful to her family and Friends but perhaps not so useful in her new role at Alma. Perhaps she should have spent more time learning to dress well, speak well, hostess well."
As a girl, Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD had weathered her father's authority as an educator and attended Alma College, an impressive Gothic Revival building in the centre of Saint Thomas that is now under threat of demolition. From there, she went on to study at the University of Toronto's Victoria College in the early 1920s. While at Victoria, she worked with Group of Seven artist Arthur Lismer at the University Settlement House, where she gave art classes to working-class children.
The experience left a lasting impression. Later, as a young teacher working in the Six Nations native community in Caldeonia, Ontario, she convinced local merchants to display the art of aboriginal children in their storefront windows.
In 1936, she married Robert Gerald RIDDELL, a history professor who became Canada's first ambassador to the United Nations, and began raising a family. In 1950, the family moved to a Long Island town outside of New York, but the pressures of the job proved punishing for her husband, she later said. At the time, the Korean War was raging and he had made an around-the-clock effort to promote a negotiated end to the conflict. In an effort to relieve the stresses of his job, the family had been vacationing at Myrtle Beach, North Carolina They were building sandcastles on the beach when he collapsed of a heart attack.
His death was a turning point in Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD's life. Instead of packing up her children and returning to her parents' home in Saint Thomas, she opted to stay in Toronto and begin a new life as a single working mother. First, she had to find a job and a place to live. On the advice of a friend, she took up with a fledging community organization called Friendly Relations with Overseas Students, earning her wages through fundraising efforts. Eventually, it became the International Students' Centre, where she was ensconced for two decades.
Her career at the International Students' Centre, and the global web of contacts that came with it, came to be highly valued by the university. Shortly after she retired in 1972, the school awarded her an honorary doctorate. A year later, she received the Order of Canada.
In 1987, Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD married for a second time. Dana ROUILLARD, the retired head of the University of Toronto French Department, had known her for decades and they decided to make something more of their Friendship. At the time, they were both in their late 80s. They spent four years together, moving between her home on Duplex Avenue in Toronto and his cottage on Georgian Bay, until her death in 1991. During these years, she returned to a love of painting that had taken shape during her years with Arthur Lismer.
Even so, Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD's activism was far from over. She continued her political work right up until the year of her death. During a stay at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital on University Avenue in March, a large anti-war demonstration occurred outside the nearby U.S. consulate. Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD had herself wheeled to the front door of the hospital, where she cheered the crowd marching up University. She returned to her room with a picket sign attached to her wheelchair.
Ms. Riddell ROUILLARD lived to be one month shy of 100. A planned birthday celebration instead became a memorial service.
Katherine (Kay) Riddell ROUILLARD was born in St. Lambert, Quebec, August 12, 1906. She died of heart disease on July 11, 2006, in Toronto. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Riddell STYLIANOS, and son, John RIDDELL.

Art JOHNS, Engineer (1936-2006)
He was an fervent and proselytizing pipes-wires-and-beams sort of engineer who transformed one of Canada's largest firms and, in the process, rose to become its chairman
By Noreen SHANAHAN. Special▲ to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
If Art JOHNS were a teacher and we were his students, he'd stand before us with a piece of chalk in his hand and the first word he'd write on the blackboard would be "Engineer." He'd be a patient teacher, guiding us with his knowledge rather than attacking our ignorance.
But Art JOHNS wasn't a teacher, he was an engineer and former chairman of the Canadian consulting firm Morrison Hershfield who spent an enormous amount of time dusting off the engineer image and guiding it into the light from beneath the shadow of the architect. Pipes, wires, and beams may not be as pretty as the building itself, he'd likely say, but they are the stuff that keep the works working and the public safe. And what is this thing, engineering?
"You're sitting in it. You just ate it. You were entertained by it," Mr. JOHNS once told an awards audience. "You drove in it. You may have flown in it. You ride in it. You wear it. You listen to it and talk into it. You drink it and you breathe it. It warms you and it cools you. It's everywhere you live."
According to Ron Wilson, Morrison Hershfield Chief Executive Officer and Art JOHNS's successor, Mr. JOHNS took the profession's responsibilities very seriously. "Engineers have a duty to protect the public, much like doctors have a duty to protect individuals from a health concern. Engineers probably save more lives than doctors and so, from a humanitarian perspective moving society forward and making it more successful, engineers play a very significant role. But most engineers tend to forget that, because they're down in the details, working out the problems."
Art JOHNS grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, as the son of British immigrants. His father, Charles, was from Manchester, while his mother, Josephine, was born in Belfast. His father had arrived in Canada with nothing, worked hard until he owned a parking lot in downtown Toronto and was determined that his son would get a good education.
Young Art did well in high school, where he excelled at football. The JOHNS family likes to tell a story about how he won the high school football finals on a decidedly soggy field. The team blasted to success at the same time that Hurricane Hazel blasted through Toronto in 1954. "They continued playing in mud and water, and only after the game was won did they realize how severe the storm really was," said his son, Brad JOHNS.
When it was over, he left arm in arm with Ruth MATHERS, his high school sweetheart, whom he married soon after graduation.
Mr. JOHNS attended the University of Toronto and in 1960 earned a degree in civil engineering. Two years later, he received his masters at the University of Illinois and began work for Morrison Hershfield.
Mr. JOHNS's greatest feat was also one of the first tests of his career. As a newly minted engineer, he was made responsible for the structural design and site supervision of the massive Medical Science Building at the University of Toronto. He was 29 years old.
According to Janet Jensen, marketing co-ordinator for Morrison Hershfield, Mr. JOHNS was scared to death by the huge responsibility and said it was as though he had been thrown into a deep pool. He was sustained, however, by the thought that the company's founders stood at the edge. He said they were ready to pull him out if necessary, but otherwise let him get on with the job. He soon became a principal in the firm.
Over the years, he also designed and inspected towers for Bell Canada, Canadian National and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from coast to coast, and worked on the structural design of the Stratford Festival Theatre, the Memorial University Health Sciences Complex in Saint_John's, several Sears stores, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation head office in Ottawa, buildings at universities in Saskatchewan and Sudbury, plus large supermarkets for the Dominion and Steinberg's chains.
Understandably, his work demanded a great deal of travel. In 1967, he was closely involved in work on the Air Canada and Ontario pavilions at Expo in Montreal, and found himself on projects in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Sioux City, Iowa, as well as the Carmichael Falls Power Dam in Northern Ontario.
For all that, Art JOHNS was firmly rooted in the Toronto landscape during a time when the city was wildly expanding, architecturally. Among other projects, he engineered the Etobicoke Olympium complex and its Olympic-size pool, and handled the restoration of the Gardiner Expressway.
In his years at the firm he was, at various times, president, Chief Executive Officer and chairman. He played a significant part in the growth of the firm after 1986 and saw it triple in size, quadruple its revenues, and expand into the U.S. market. Today, it has nearly 600 employees in 11 offices across North America.
Art JOHNS received two important awards during his career -- a gold medal from Ontario engineers in 2002, and another from the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers in 2004. Most recently, he worked as an investigator and witness, providing expert testimony on construction and design. He appeared in pre-trials, discoveries, mediations and court on several occasions in Canada and the United States. He was also a strong supporter of a process called alternative dispute resolution, which is used to mediate construction disputes involving owners, designers, and contractors.
As a thinking man's engineer, he published a number of papers for the firm, including a study on the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. "The safety and survival of people housed or working in our buildings will take priority over our chattels," he wrote. "Some will question the safety of all tall buildings and others will seriously reconsider whether or not the very top floors are indeed prestigious and premium space."
Like the engineer he was, Mr. JOHNS carefully regarded the whole picture and not just the towers. "The destruction extended beyond buildings to the utilities and infrastructure in Manhattan. Power, sewers, water mains, telecommunications, transit and road networks were disrupted. Fire safety for both the survival of structures and evacuation of people has now become different challenges for engineers."
According to the nominators for his 2004 award, Mr. JOHNS also influenced such practices as changes to building codes and promoted Canadian engineering skills in the global market.
Privately, he also sat on the board of directors and was chair of the procurement committee of Habitat for Humanity and was involved in building a house for the charity in Alliston, Ontario
Mr. JOHNS retired from Morrison Hershfield in 2005, after 44 years in the firm. Three days later, he was diagnosed with cancer. "Never write your last day of work in your day timer," he told his daughter, Linda PRINGLE.
Arthur Bartly JOHNS was born in Scarborough, Ontario in 1936. He died at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario on October 24, 2006, after a nine-month battle with multiple myeloma. He was He is survived by his wife, Ruth, sons Brad and Scott, and daughter, Linda. He also leaves his sister, Rene, and grandchildren Andrew, Michaela, Schuyler, Liam, and Zachary.
