DAVIS, Rae McDonough
Passed away at home on Saturday, June 10, at 5: 00 p.m., in the company of her children. She was seventy-eight. Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer four years ago, she was completely at peace with her courageous decision to forego anything but palliative care, which was managed with compassion and professionalism by the Temmy Latner Center for Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. A graduate of Wellesley College (1949) and Columbia University (M.A. 1952), she moved to Canada with her husband John in 1957 and became a Canadian citizen in 1979. Rae was an extraordinary person - a student of English and American literature, a great reader (and sometime writer) of contemporary poetry, and a lover of painting, architecture, and gardens. She was a pioneering artist in Canada in several domains, ranging from experimental theater and dance to performance art to film and video to digital media. Her career spanned the late 1950s (she directed Samuel Beckett's "Act Without Words I" in 1959) to the present. A retrospective of her art and performance work was mounted at the Art Gallery of Windsor in 2001 and a voluminous archive of material relating to her career was accepted by Library and Archives Canada in 2006. Rae was beloved by her brother David McDONOUGH (of Bagni di Lucca, Italy;) half-sister Patricia REED (of New Providence, New Jersey;) late husband John Whitney DAVIS (who died in 1998;) son Whitney Matthew DAVIS (of Berkeley, California) and daughter Martha Moore DAVIS (partner of Scott WHITTINGTON of Toronto, Ontario;) granddaughter Molly Moore Davis WHITTINGTON (age six); and her many Friends and colleagues in Toronto and elsewhere. In lieu of flowers, donations in Rae's name can be made to Harborfront Centre's children's and dance programming, c/o Jolaine FRIZZELL, 235 Queen's Quay West, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2G8. A memorial service for Rae will be held on Saturday, June 17, at 4 p.m. at the Toronto Necropolis chapel.

JORDAN, Marianne
The family of the late Marianne JORDAN would like to thank the many families and Friends who thought of us during our time of sorrow. Your contributions of food, your donations to the Grey Bruce Health Centre, the Salvation Army and the Cancer Society, your visits, your cards, your flowers and your prayers were appreciated more than words can express. To all of the staff and residents of John Joseph Place, especially her Friends Millie, Percy, Ed, Eleanor and Agnes - thank you. Mom enjoyed her time there and talked often of the good Friends she had made. She loved all of the workers - no wonder, they treated her like their own mother. To the nurses on the 4th floor of Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre - your kindness and understanding will not be forgotten. It made the difficult time for the family easier to bear. Doctor MULROY - your compassion and empathy was much appreciated. To Doctor Edwin GAVILLER - for 40 years you took good care of our Mom. She thought of you as a good friend and trusted you implicitly. Your kindness and caring will always be remembered and appreciated by the family. Thanks to Doctor WHITTLE for your seven years of caring for Mom and humouring her when necessary. Thank you to Breckenridge Ashcrott Funeral Home and Rev. SCHMIDT for your assistance with the funeral service.
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug the sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
Fill each waking hour in useful ways
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in return will comfort you and hold you near
And never, never be afraid to die
For I a.m. waiting for you in the sky
- Jack, Sarilee, Ted, Peg and Jimmy

Lord please pick some for me

Place a kiss upon her cheek

Because remembering her is easy
I do it every day
But there is an ache within my heart
Because I am missing her today.
Sorely missed by husband George, also by Debbie, David and the grandchildren.

Bertram LOEB, Businessman: (1916-2006)
Would-be Ottawa rabbi entered the family grocery firm with grandiose visions, only to lose the IGA empire. Later, he built a chain of gas stations and donated a fortune to charity
By Alex DOBROTA, Page S9
His father hand-picked him to become a rabbi, but Bertram LOEB had other ideas. After a stint as an army canteen manager, he decided to transform the family store into something much larger. Years later, after he lost control of the IGA grocery empire, told the Ottawa Citizen: "I made a fatal error. Instead of going to study the Bible and Jewish history, I should have gone to Harvard to study business."
As the head of an international grocery chain, Mr. LOEB tended to rely more on his own philosophical considerations than on the forces that drove the market. He followed visions of grandeur and sometimes ignored economic factors so that, in the end, his ambition was his undoing.
The LOEB name, which he fought so hard to bring to the helm of the corporate world, became attached to the several Ottawa institutions that benefited from his multimillion-dollar donations. "His father had always said: 'Make sure the family name retains integrity,' said his daughter Naomi LOEB. " The money was always a means to an end, it was never an end in itself."
Bertram LOEB grew up in Ottawa in a family of Russian Jewish immigrants. By all accounts, his father, Moses LOEB, emigrated to the United States to avoid being drafted in the czar's army around the turn of the last century. But in Cincinnati, he grew nostalgic for Russia's winters and moved to Ottawa where he started a candy and tobacco store. The store was close to Ottawa's train station where business was brisk only around departure and arrival times. In the meantime, he would harness his horses to a carriage and his peddle goods to other stores. It fell to Bertram and his five brothers to tend to the horses and to the family warehouse.
Young Bertram had other chores, too, and often displayed a knack for dodging difficulties. His mother often gave him 25 cents to take to the market and buy a live chicken for Friday's dinner. On one occasion, as he was pedalling home on Rideau Street the chicken flew out of his bicycle basket and began strutting back in the direction of the market. The boy had just seconds in which to make a decision. Should he run after the chicken at the risk of losing his bike? Or should he return home empty-handed and face the wrath of his mother?
"He dropped the bike, ran after the chicken, got the chicken and ran back and found his bike… so they had their Friday-night chicken dinner," Ms. LOEB said.
Often, Bertram used his resourcefulness to make mischief. One of his favourite pranks was to coat garlic in syrup and tempt his Friends with "chocolate-covered almonds," Ms. LOEB said.
Perhaps because of young Bertram's ability to think on his feet, Moses LOEB decided to send his son away to rabbinical studies. He spent four years studying literature and philosophy at New York University, plus religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. After that, he moved to Jerusalem to pursue a master's degree in Hebrew and returned home just before the Second World War broke out. In 1940, Mr. LOEB joined the army and served as a sergeant at Camp Petawawa, where he managed the base's canteen.
When he returned to Ottawa in 1945, he abandoned his plans to become a rabbi and chose instead to help his father run his business, which by then had become a successful wholesale operation called M. Loeb Ltd. "In many ways, he was a misfit in the world of business," his daughter said. "There was this side of him that wanted to do business. He was certainly interested in business, but he had no training."
Instead, Mr. LOEB had a vision. Unlike his father, who often paid for his transactions in cash and hesitated to take risks, Mr. LOEB dreamed of turning the family business, in which some of his brothers also worked, into an international venture.
When Moses LOEB died in 1951, Mr. LOEB looked to the United States, where a group of independent grocers had banded together under the banner of the Independent Grocer's Association (IGA) to resist a fast-spreading chain of new stores run by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. He brought the Independent Grocer's Association concept to Canada and, one by one, began convincing Ottawa grocers to join the franchise operation and to buy their stock from his wholesale business. The IGA franchise quickly spread across the country. By the end of 1952, the chain embraced 34 stores and racked up $3.5-million in sales. Along the way, Mr. LOEB introduced an incentive system in which customers received a stamp for every 10 cents' worth of purchases. Shoppers could accumulate the stamps and trade them for a variety of products.
Much like his father, Mr. LOEB managed his business with a hands-on approach and had little patience for dissenters. "He was very dynamic and he liked to do things his own way," Ms. LOEB said.
His success quickly took him abroad. In the 1950s, after he helped raise large sums of money for Jewish charities, he was invited to Israel, where he met David Ben-Gurion, the country's first prime minister. Mr. Ben-Gurion said Israel needed entrepreneurs like Mr. LOEB and asked him to start a supermarket chain. Mr. LOEB rose to the challenge and in 1958 opened Israel's first chain under the name Supersol.
It wasn't that easy, of course. Mr. LOEB faced stiff opposition from Orthodox Jews who prohibit placing dairy and meat on the same table. Many of them wondered how customers could transport dairy and meat products in the same cart without breaking religious rules.
Simple, Mr. LOEB responded, with his characteristic flair for fixing snags. By placing dairy inside the shopping cart, and the meat in the cart's top basket.
Meanwhile, IGA Canada had developed by leaps and bounds. By 1962, it had posted sales of $140-million and a 20-fold increase in earnings. The chain grew so large that it acquired a company airplane and a computer, both of which were rare at the time.
Even so, Mr. LOEB's resourcefulness was not enough to counter the setbacks he suffered two years later. In 1964, it was revealed that the man he had picked as the chain's general manager had embezzled $1.3-million (U.S.) from the company's coffers. The board of directors, then chaired by the Montreal businessman Charles Bronfman, dismissed Mr. LOEB as its president.
"It was a huge blow to him personally" Naomi LOEB said. "For a number of years, he was very, very bitter about what happened and he turned his back on everything Jewish,
Then, in 1965, Mr. LOEB chose to donate $450,000 to Ottawa's Civic Hospital for a medical research centre. The city's mayor, Charlotte WHITTON, refused the donation, claiming that it would force taxpayers to assume liability for the building. Some observers suspected that Ms. WHITTON cringed at the thought of seeing a Jewish name on a city facility. "Many people thought she was an anti-Semite," Ms. LOEB said.
Instead, Mr. LOEB offered the money to Carleton University for the construction of a new social-sciences building that now bears the LOEB name. Decades later, long after Ms. WHITTON's tenure as a mayor, Mr. LOEB would lead a fundraising campaign for Ottawa's Civic Hospital that netted $14-million to build a research centre named after his parents.
"He had a big vision," Rabbi Reuven BULKA of the Machzikei Hadas Congregation in Ottawa said. "He looked at charities which are more than just empty pits. He liked to do things which would generate results."
Ms. LOEB said her father believed in giving back to the community and in trying to make the world a better place. "He really did have a sort philosophical and spiritual side, which is kind of incompatible with business."
As a rule, Mr. LOEB avoided red tape and relied on his own instincts when making donations. "He was a very trusting guy," Mr. BULKA said. "He didn't need fancy documents -- just his vision and the thrust and the direction and the purpose. That was enough for him."
Those instincts likely betrayed him during the 1970s. By that time, sales of the M. Loeb Ltd. wholesale operation had exceeded $1-billion and Mr. LOEB began an aggressive expansion into the United States by buying a Chicago IGA franchise. Unfortunately, he made several serious mistakes. For one thing, his company's shares were not divided into several classes, which meant such rivals as Loblaws and Provigo could buy it up and plot a hostile takeover. To make matters worse, his brothers had already sold much of their stock, which left Mr. LOEB with control of only 15 per cent. With theft problems plaguing his supply chain and rivals slowly gnawing at his market share, the U.S. business started bringing down the company's stock value and by 1977 the board of directors forced Mr. LOEB to step down as a chairman.
It was a devastating blow and Mr. LOEB sold his shares. For a time, he dabbled in politics, briefly accepting a nomination as the Liberal candidate in the Ottawa-Carleton riding for the 1979 federal election. In an unexpected move, Mr. LOEB withdrew, blaming a bleeding ulcer, but at the time some Liberal Party members gave a different version of events. They said Mr. LOEB wanted a cabinet portfolio and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau refused to make promises.
Mr. LOEB never returned to politics. Instead, he made a comeback in business. In the early 1980s, one of his former employees asked him to invest in a chain of gas stations called Sunys Petroleum. His new project started off with a handful of locations and quickly grew to 250 stations in Ontario and Quebec. "He just couldn't sit back and do nothing," Ms. LOEB said. "He was just not capable of that."
Mr. LOEB successfully steered Sunys until 1996, when he finally retired at 80 yet continued to make discreet and careful donations. His most recent was a 2002 bequest of $1-million to the Bertram Loeb Organ-Tissue Institute at the University of Ottawa.
Bertram LOEB was born in Ottawa on February 6, 1916. He died in Ottawa on September 11, 2006, from multiple myeloma. He is survived by his two daughters, Naomi and Diana, by his grand_son Samuel, and by his brothers Jules and David.

Methadone pharmacist passes away
Wing WONG accused by regulatory board
Dispensing habits were under fire
By Brian WHITWHAM, Special To The Star
To a regulatory body, Wing WONG's methadone distribution network put recovering heroin addicts at risk. But, to others, he was a hero who strived to help Ontario addicts find a better life.
WONG, who owned pharmacies in Kitchener, Guelph and Hanover with wife Susan, died either Sunday night or early yesterday. The exact time and cause were unknown at press time.
The Ontario College of Pharmacists had accused WONG of overbilling for methadone dispensing and "disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional" conduct. The college also alleged WONG broke rules that ensure methadone is administered safely. The rules had stated that methadone must be provided to patients in person by licensed pharmacists.
WONG always denied any wrongdoing. His disciplinary hearing before the college was scheduled for October and November.
WONG was featured in a Toronto Star investigation earlier this year that examined serious problems with methadone distribution and triggered a provincial government review. The series outlined WONG's exclusive right to supply methadone and other drugs to a chain of clinics called Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres. Doses were delivered by courier to clinics where staff supervised addicts' methadone intake. WONG made financial investments in the clinics and bought medical software sold by Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres's founders.
Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres co-founder Doctor Jeff DAITER called WONG a pioneering "maverick" who made it easier for thousands of people to kick their addictions. WONG was ordered in March to stop shipping methadone but the college issued an "interim" policy allowing him to continue provided Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres doctors got a federal exemption so they could delegate methadone dispensing to a "qualified person."

Who passed on November 21, 2005
God looked around his garden,
And saw an empty space.
Then he looked down here on earth,
And saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
His garden must be beautiful,
Because he only picks the best.
A million times we'll miss you,
A million times we'll cry.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place,
No one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
Love Always, Margaret, Leah and Ken, Shana, and John, Jack and Dylan
