Cultural Foundation, he was invited to the United Nations in
1994 to address United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization's World Commission on Culture and Development. His
1994 memoir Reinventing Myself has been called "a classic of
Canadian arts and letters, history, satire and autobiography."

Youth Killed in Ski Mishap
Grey County O.P.P. is continuing to investigate an apparent Alpine
skiing mishap this morning (05-Feb-06) that has claimed the life
of a Toronto youth.
The incident occurred just before 10 a.m. at the Beaver Valley
Ski Club, which is situated east of Markdale and just north of
the hamlet of Kimberley. It was sunny and clear at the time of
the mishap, snow conditions were good and the involved run, known
as "Long John" had been freshly groomed. There were few skiers
on the runs at that time.
The crash was heard by another skier further downhill and he
returned to find the young man down and unresponsive. Ski patrollers
assisted and the injured skier was transported by ambulance to
Grey Bruce Health Services - Markdale where he was pronounced
dead. The run was closed immediately after the occurrence and
an Ontario Provincial Police collision re-construction was summoned
to the scene to assist in the investigation.
The▼ deceased youth has been identified as Joshua
MAZZA, 14 years,
of Etobicoke. A post mortem investigation is scheduled to take
place on Monday, March 6 to assist in determining the cause of
death.
Investigators are concerned that someone may have witnessed the
incident when it occurred but may not have been aware of the
gravity of the situation at that time. Anyone with information
that might assist in this matter is asked to contact Grey County
O.P.P. at 1-888-310-1122. Constable Ken
SAINT_JOHN of the Markdale
Detachment is the investigating member.

MAZZA,
Joshua▼ -- Dispatch:
By Jeffrey
HAWKINS,
Page M6
His time on earth may have been short, but Joshua
MAZZA managed
to touch the hearts of many. Although his family mourns him as
a loved one, friend John
BLUM believes "we likely lost a future
leader, as well."
A gifted athlete and student and a loving son, Joshua seemed
to excel in everything he did -- even when the odds were against
him.
One of only two Grade 9 students at Michael Power High School
to be chosen for the football team, Joshua dislocated a shoulder
during his first practice but continued to attend every practice
just to cheer on his teammates.
"He loved everyone, and everyone seemed to love him," said Michael
MAZZA,
Joshua's▼ godfather and uncle. He had a passion for history:
Book after book, he submerged himself in the footsteps of mankind.
It was a subject his parents, Chris
MAZZA and Lori
MAZZA-
WEBB,
and his stepparents, Kathy
MAZZA and David
WEBB, thought he might
one day pursue as his profession. Joshua also took an interest
in acting, artistry and cooking -- especially Thai food.
"If I had to sum him up," said Mr.
BLUM, "
I'd call Joshua a true
Renaissance man."
Joshua died on March 5, 2006, after suffering a severe fall while
skiing. He was 14.

DOAN,
Dorothy
By Michael A.
MAZZA,
Page
A30
Nurse, sister, aunt, traveller, friend. Born July 18, 1915, Komoka,
Ontario Died June 10, in Strathroy, Ontario, of natural causes,
aged 91.
At 16, while still attending high school, Dorothy
DOAN answered
an ad in the London Free Press and interviewed to become a nurse
in training. Through her dedication, Dorothy became a pioneer
a female leader in an era when female leadership was not always
appreciated, a role model for younger women and one of the most
beloved members of the community.
Dorothy was born on a farm; the daughter of Alex and Isabelle
DOAN, she was the second youngest of nine children. With love
and gratitude, she recalls how her oldest sister came home to
care for her and her siblings after their mother died when Dorothy
was only 8.
Dorothy graduated as a registered nurse from Strathroy General
Hospital in 1935. When war was declared in 1939, Dorothy enlisted
and reported for duty in 1942, receiving several weeks training
in England, before travelling to Cape Town, South Africa. The
journey to Cape Town was a dangerous one; their vessel travelled
in a convoy of ships moving only at night and negotiating their
way through enemy-infested waters. She grimly remembers counting
the surrounding ships at first light each day, missing those
that had been destroyed by enemy submarines, and thanking God
that their own ship had not been hit during the night.
Later in the war, Dorothy was transferred to Cairo where she
worked in an operating room for 13 months. Gruelling work, but
also opportunities to visit market bazaars, tour the pyramids
and even try a camel ride.
"There was a job to do, and so we did it," was how Dorothy matter-of-factly
recalled the dangers of nursing during the Second World War.
It was this same approach Dorothy applied to her professional
career.
After the war, she was hired as assistant superintendent at Strathroy.
In the next few years, she completed a Nursing Service Administration
degree at the University of Toronto and in 1956 became superintendent
of Strathroy Hospital, continuing her education through correspondence.
Three years later, Dorothy completed her certification in hospital
organizational management. She received membership in the American
College of Hospital Administrators in 1963 -- at the time there
was no comparable Canadian association -- and in 1969 she attained
her fellowship with American College of Hospital Administrators,
becoming one of the first women in Canada to do so.
In a time when women in positions of power were few, Dorothy
was a leader in a health-care world dominated by men. She was
a persuasive leader with a task-oriented perseverance. She built
a hospital and 10 years later, doubled it in size, all the time
overseeing the funding, construction and design -- areas that
were all male-dominated. In a time before books on "managing
change," Dorothy guided Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital
through many changes in her 25 years there.
After retirement in 1981, Dorothy devoted herself to volunteering
with the hospital, the United Church, the Salvation Army,
the Canadian Cancer Society and in the Community Living kitchen.
Family was also important to Dorothy. She was Aunt Dot to her
many nieces and nephews and her cottage on Lake Huron near Forest,
Ontario, was a popular place for family to visit with her, recalls
Yvonne LAMBERT, one of her nieces.
Among many honours, Dorothy
DOAN was a lifetime member of the
Registered Nurses of Ontario, and a Fellow in the American College
of Hospital Administrators. In 1992, she was awarded the 125th Anniversary
of the Confederation of Canada Medal.
Michael is a friend of Dorothy; he wrote this with Sarah Louise
Davidson's help.

Teen skier's death a mystery
By Hilda HOY,
Staff
Reporter
One week ago, 14-year-old Joshua
MAZZA was whizzing down the
hills at Blue Mountain, propelling his school's alpine ski team
to a fifth-place giant slalom finish at the Ontario Federation
of School Athletic Associations championships.
Yesterday morning, the Etobicoke teen was found crumpled in the
snow on a downhill run at a ski club near Collingwood. He was
pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later.
"They▲ don't know what happened," his mother Lori
MAZZA said tearfully
from their home yesterday afternoon. "He was (skiing) with his
Friends and he went over the crest of the hill, and when they
saw him again, he was just lying in the snow."
An X-ray showed that Joshua hadn't suffered a broken neck, she
said. The family hopes an autopsy scheduled for today will shed
some light on what happened.
"He wasn't a risk-taker. He was very in control and he was a
very good skier."
The weather yesterday was clear and sunny and the snow on the
"Long John" run freshly groomed.
Joshua loved to ski so much, he'd headed for the hills almost
every weekend for the past several months, his mother said. He
often skied at the Beaver Valley Ski Club, where he died yesterday,
because his father owned a home nearby.
Last Tuesday,
MAZZA took the day off work to watch him race in
the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championships
at Blue Mountain. "Little did I know…," she said, before choking
up and becoming unable to finish.
Joshua was, in every way, "an awesome kid," she said, a well-loved
student at Etobicoke's Michael Power/St. Joseph High School.
He loved sports but also excelled in academics, finishing his
last year of school as class valedictorian.
"Every adult I know tells me what a wonderful kid he is. Everybody
loved him. He was the best, and I'm not just saying that because
I'm his mother. He really was."
The ski run was closed immediately after the accident and the
Ontario Provincial Police called in a reconstruction expert to
examine the scene.
The family is planning a funeral for Joshua later this week.

One year ago today our dear mother and wife, Lucia, left us to
be with the Lord, lovingly surrounded by her family. It broke
our hearts to lose you mom, but know that your unconditional
love and wonderful memories continue to keep our family strong.
You are our 'Angel' from above. "Mamma cara Eng amorosa, riposa
in pace". Forever loved and missed, your family. A Memorial Mass
will be celebrated on Saturday, November 25th at Saint Mary's Catholic
