Elinor MELVILLE, 65: Friends were family
'She really gathered us in,' buddy says
Elinor MELVILLE, 65, brilliant scholar
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
She died as she lived, surrounded by Friends. Elinor
MELVILLE
never married ("Just lucky, I guess" she'd say if questioned),
and when she died at 65 of cancer -- in the early hours of March 10
in the palliative care unit at Toronto Grace Hospital -- she
had no known relatives.
Instead, she had Friends from two hemispheres, both of her careers
and both of the countries where she chose to live during the
past two decades.
Fierce Friends, loyal Friends, who wouldn't let her die alone,
and who now feel doubly bereft because they lost someone who
had become family.
"Elinor has had an incredible ability to create family; always
a family of her own choosing," said Joan Harkness, a friend who
uses MELVILLE and her circle of Friends as an example of one
type of family when she teaches sociology at the University of
Victoria.
"She had this talent; she really gathered us in," said Morris
Thompson, an American journalist who rented and is now buying
MELVILLE's beloved adobe home in Mexico. "Unlike the rest of
us, she did not have to consider whether she liked Aunt Sally
or cousin Mary when choosing the people in her life. She gave
me the greatest compliment when she once told me I was like a
really irritating younger brother."
An associate history professor at York University,
MELVILLE was
a brilliant scholar who wrote A Plague of Sheep, a pioneering
work of environmental history in which she said that it was the
introduction of European plants and animals in the 16th century
that turned the Valley of Mezquital, an important valley north
of Mexico City, into a desert in less than a century.
"She had a way in her academic life and in her personal life
that she could make us look at things differently," said Thompson.
Elinor
Gordon
Ker
MELVILLE was born in Papua New Guinea. Her
father was a supervisor of British mines there; she and her mother
caught the last flight out of the country before the Japanese
invaded in World War 2 and went to stay with her father's only
relatives, two spinster sisters living in Australia. When her
father died four years later, her mother, tired of living under
the matriarchal rule, moved them to New Zealand, where they lived
on a sheep ranch. Mother worked as the district nurse and daughter
learned how to ride horses and shoot.
Solitary and sickly --
MELVILLE told Friends she should have
died about six times as a child -- she grew into a tall, mouthy
adolescent who was tossed from three schools. Encouraged to be
independent by her mother, who used to take her obstreperous
daughter on her own dates as a romantic deterrent as much as
a chaperone, she sailed for Newfoundland soon after getting a
degree in physiotherapy in Sydney, Australia.
She later went back to school, receiving her B.A. from U of T's
Scarborough campus in 1972, her M.A. and then her Ph. D. in anthropology
from the University of Michigan. Her research had led her to
Mexico 25 years ago, a country that charmed her. She told Friends
she felt as if she had come home, that here was a country that
fit her.
Using her small inheritance from her mother, she bought a lot
in Tlayacapan, Morelos, in the hills about 95 kilometres south
of Mexico City. She designed her adobe home and the subsequent
guesthouse, where she always stayed whenever she had visitors.
She took under her wing the family of her gardener, Augustine,
paying for his children's education, and had a longstanding affair
with a local man she called "the love of her life" -- but never
stayed there longer than 10 or 12 weeks.
She always returned to Toronto, where she had her work and usually
another house to renovate and decorate in rich, warm colours.
She bought and sold five houses in 15 years. Her Friends remember
rooms painted in bright blue and one in the colours of red, yellow
and orange that looked as if it was on fire -- and recall one
dinner party at which her guests had to crawl out a window to
access the table set up on the deck.
MELVILLE was 6 feet, a dramatic, dashing woman with a penchant
for hats and Eileen Fisher designs, who would moan with pleasure
when eating a good steak and who never walked but strode.
"The world didn't move fast enough for her," said Ruth
McGUINNESS,
who admitted she found
MELVILLE "daunting" the first time they
met.
It was 2000 and the two were in Buffalo, undergoing treatment
for breast cancer. Four of them became Friends (only two survived).
They'd meet at 4 p.m. so
MELVILLE could watch Tom Selleck reruns
they made a pact that none would join a support group. "We decided
we would have none of those people crying in their soup," said
McGuinness.
But in 2002,
MELVILLE was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. "She
raged against the cancer; she didn't just fight it," said McGuinness.
She continued to teach three classes at York until the fall of
2004. Her Friends remember her lecturing a grad student as she
was being wheeled down a hospital hallway on a stretcher. Last
July she officially went on sabbatical.
Often she stayed with
McGUINNESS and her husband, Rory, after
a hospital stint, until she was strong enough to return to her
own home. But after last Christmas, she was noticeably weaker
and stayed with her friend Agueda
SHUBERT, the wife of a York
colleague.
SHUBERT was one of the dozen Friends who met in February to form
MELVILLE's care team. They didn't all know one another, although
they knew of each other. "She talked about her Friends to us
all," said Mireya Cunningham. "She was always saying wonderful
things about us to others."
There was no set schedule in place --
MELVILLE was still too
independent to want that -- but there was a new intimacy with
her. She let friend Mireya Cunningham, who describes herself
as a "touchy" person, hold her hand. "There is a great degree
of intimacy involved in being with someone who is ill. It's a
world of little losses," said Ruth
McGUINNESS.
As well as gains. "She taught me to cherish my Friends," said
Jean LEVY, the department assistant at York.
On Thursday, March 9,
McGUINESS sent out an email -- in English
and Spanish -- and her Friends came flooding to the hospital.
Her
York colleague Jeannette
NEESON read her a poem from a 1940s
anthology; Thompson read Shakespearean sonnets. Tea was served
and the conversation flowed all around
MELVILLE, as she lay dying.
Her Friends held a memorial service for her in Toronto the following
Tuesday at 7 p.m. It was 4 p.m. in Victoria, British Columbia
where Joan Harkness was teaching her Sociology 100 class about
Elinor MELVILLE.
"I put her death notice up on the overhead projector and talked
about her," she said. "I wanted to be part of a community of
people thinking of Elinor at the same time."
She told her students that this is the kind of impact one life
can have, that this is what they can do. They can create a family
they can create their own life; their life can be an act of creation
just like hers.

Elderly woman dies in blaze
Friends said the Platt's Lane resident was blind and barely mobile.
By April KEMICK, Free Press Reporter, Sat., February 4, 2006
An elderly woman is dead after a fire ripped through her ground-floor
apartment in west London last night.
London police and firefighters wouldn't identify the victim of
the blaze at 261 Platt's Lane, but Friends huddled outside said
it was Ruby
YAHNKE, an elderly woman who was blind and barely
mobile.
"The poor lady -- she couldn't see anything and she could hardly
walk," said an emotional Dianne
EDWARDS, who visited the senior
twice a day to help care for her dog.
"She was a wonderful woman. I just saw her today and everything
was fine. Now this,"
EDWARDS said.
The fire, which started shortly after 8: 30 p.m., charred
YAHNKE's
first-floor apartment and sent smoke billowing out her windows,
smashed by firefighters trying to contain the blaze.
Though YAHNKE herself did not escape the fire, her dog, a small
Shih Tzu named Molly, was brought out by firefighters and handed
to EDWARDS.
"She's okay, just a little black,"
EDWARDS said of the dog she
walked twice a day.
"She's gonna miss her mom."
Dozens of residents of the five-storey building were forced to
evacuate because of heavy smoke.
They huddled outside and in a nearby building for nearly two
hours as police and firefighters investigated.
"The hallways and stairwells were full of smoke and it smelled
really strong," said Ramsey
SHUCK, who lives on the third floor.
"Smoke was just billowing out of the first-floor apartment,"
he said.
Deputy fire Chief Dave
KITTERMAN said last night it was unclear
how much damage the building sustained in the blaze.
He did say the first-floor apartment where the fire originated
received "severe" damage.
KITTERMAN didn't know what sparked the fatal blaze, but neighbours
said YAHNKE was a smoker.
"It's just so sad,"
EDWARDS said. "She's a beautiful person."

McARTHUR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S6
Toronto -- Bill
SIBBALD was an ideas machine. Strategies, suggestions
and potential solutions cascaded from his lips at the Ontario
teaching hospitals where he built an international reputation,
at global medical conferences and around the family dinner table.
His ideas helped to change the face of intensive-care treatment
in Canada, to shape the way health care is delivered in Ontario,
to guide Toronto through the severe acute respiratory syndrome
crisis of 2003 and to inspire a new generation of critical-care
professionals.
Dr.
William
John
SIBBALD was director of critical care at Victoria
Hospital in London, Ontario, and a professor at the University
of Western Ontario from 1977 until 2000. Then he became physician-in-chief
at Toronto's Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre
and a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. In
both roles, he was a physician, teacher, leader, mentor and researcher.
"I used to tell people who didn't know him they should ignore
something the first time he mentioned it," says Doctor Frank
RUTLEDGE,
who heads the critical-care programs at Victoria Hospital and
Western. "They should pay attention the second time. The third
time they should put it at the top of their pile. He threw out
so many ideas, if you tried to work on everything the first time
it was mentioned, you'd never get anything done." Doctor Steven
SHUMAK, deputy physician-in-chief, says many of Doctor
SIBBALD's
ideas involved medical informatics, the application of computers
and information systems to improve patient care and education.
Colleagues remember him as gruff but generous, an infuriatingly
single-minded visionary who smoked heavily in his early years
to burn off excess energy, but who gave it up after an operation
for salivary gland cancer. He was an advocate for those he worked
with, giving them his undivided attention in private meetings.
In the workplace or on the golf course, he strove for perfection,
but often interrupted a game to respond to a BlackBerry message.
He occasionally told off-colour jokes and he followed hockey
religiously, even when out of the country.
Dr. SIBBALD started work before dawn, even on weekends, so he
could be home to spend time with his wife and five children.
He coached his sons in hockey, attended his children's sporting
events and told them all he was their "biggest cheerleader."
Over his career, Doctor
SIBBALD wrote about 250 articles and editorials,
more than 70 book chapters and some major textbooks on critical
care. He was invited to give some 550 lectures in 16 countries.
He held many positions with medical and critical-care associations.
Dr. Ron HOLLIDAY, a general surgeon at Victoria Hospital and
a professor of surgery at Western, says Doctor
SIBBALD was often
thinking of issues five or 10 years down the road. And he always
knew who to approach to get around the system. "We called it
the SIBBALD end run," he says.
Critical-care experts around the world knew him as a friend and
a trendsetter. "He was a fantastic scientist and a great clinician
respected by all," says Doctor Jean-Louis Vincent, a professor of
intensive care at the Free University of Brussels. "He could
always ask the right question and raise the appropriate issue
in any kind of debate or scientific discussion."
Bill SIBBALD, as his Friends called him, was the middle of three
children of Jack
SIBBALD, a banker, and Shirley (née
STONE) who
grew up in a suburb of Guelph, Ontario As a boy, he played basketball,
football, badminton and hockey.
Gale KAY, now a retired Presbyterian minister, babysat him when
he was about 12. "He was quite clear that he was going to be
a doctor," she says, "not that he wanted to be a doctor, but
that he was going to be one."
He was graduated from medical school at the University of Western
Ontario in 1970 and stayed on to complete a residency in internal
medicine in 1974. That was the year he married Connie
ECKERSLEY,
a nurse he worked with in intensive care.
From 1974 to 1976, he did a fellowship in critical-care trauma
at Wayne State University School of Medicine, in Detroit. The
specialty was in its infancy in Canada at the time, and he returned
to London as one of the country's few experts in the field.
At the time, Victoria Hospital had become "a massive zone of
deferred maintenance," according to Doctor David
NAYLOR, president
of the University of Toronto and a long-time friend. Doctor Adam
LINTON, the hospital's physician-in-chief, put the young Doctor
SIBBALD
in charge of the intensive-care department where he overcame
professional turf wars and put together a team of specialists
in medicine, surgery and anesthesia. Doctor Trevor
LOBB, an anesthetist
at the hospital, says Doctor
SIBBALD helped change "a glorified
recovery room" into a critical-care trauma centre that treated
patients flown in by helicopter and that trained fellows who
came from around the world. In 1976, he made the news for using
an armed forces pressure suit to control massive bleeding in
a patient. A year later, he was in the headlines for telling
a medical conference in France that the common practice of lowering
the head of a critically ill shock victim might actually have
detrimental effects.
In one highly publicized incident, Doctor
SIBBALD, accompanied by
Dr. HOLLIDAY, went to court in the middle of the night seeking
permission for a blood transfusion to save the life of a Jehovah's
witness boy. The judge bypassed the family's religious objections
by making the boy a ward of the court, allowing the procedure
to go ahead.
Much of Doctor
SIBBALD's research centred on sepsis (disease-causing
agents in the blood), trauma, blood substitutes, and ethical
issues involving life-support and end of life. In later years,
he branched out into the field of health-care policy and delivery.
For many years, he used sheep to study infections in people.
"In our research lab at Victoria Hospital, you could hear the
sheep baaing," Doctor
HOLLIDAY says. Doctor
SIBBALD introduced infections
into the animals and studied the effects. Then he treated the
sheep, so they didn't have to be destroyed.
He served as co-chairman of a Working Group on Critical Care
in Ontario, which presented its findings to the province's health
ministry in 1991. Over the years, he received many honours, including
a distinguished investigator award from the American College
of Critical Care Medicine in 1998.
Dr. SIBBALD turned down many job offers in the United States,
and in 2000 he moved to Toronto as Sunnybrook's physician-in-chief.
That put him on the front lines when many of the patients from
the 2003 epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome ended
up at Sunnybrook. He threw his back out while dealing with the
crisis, so his bed at home became the command post where he kept
in contact with officials from hospitals, government and the
military.
In one phone call, he told Doctor Tom
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, director of critical
care at Toronto's Mount Sinai and University Health Network,
that his staff was starting to become ill. "He's a strong man,
but he broke down crying," said Doctor
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART. "It struck me how
soft and sensitive he is."
Two back operations followed. Doctor
SIBBALD returned to work after
each of them, even though he had to hobble around the hallways.
After the severe acute respiratory syndrome emergency ended,
Ontario's ministry of health set up a Critical Care Steering
Committee. Doctor
SIBBALD and Doctor
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART were among its members.
Many of Doctor
SIBBALD's ideas showed up in the report and are now
being implemented, Doctor
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART says.
In November, 2004, Doctor
SIBBALD was diagnosed with colon cancer.
He carried on working and, hoping for a remedy, sought treatment
at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. In early September,
he was told the end was near. He resigned as Sunnybrook's chief
of medicine on September 5 and spent the following week as a
patient in the hospital.
Staff members still came to him for advice. Doctor Andreas
LAUPACIS,
now the director of a research institute at Toronto's Saint Michael's
Hospital, asked for his opinion on an upcoming debate. "His eyes
lit up," Doctor
LAUPACIS says. "His energy came back. He said, 'Look
at this article and that article and here's the point I would
be making.' "
Dr. SIBBALD went Toronto on September 12. A day later, his fourth
grandchild was born in Vancouver. His son Martyn phoned to say
the baby would be called William. The next morning Doctor
SIBBALD
was shown an e-mailed photo of his new namesake. He died later
that day.
William John
SIBBALD was born in London, Ontario, on June 28,
1946. He died of colon cancer at his Toronto home on September 14,
2006. He was 60. He leaves his wife Connie; children Tammie,
Martyn, Robert, Katie and Georgie; four grandchildren; his mother,
Shirley, and sisters Nancy
DAVIDSON and Susan
TAILOR/TAYLOR.

MILLARD,
Carl
(November 28, 1913-November 21, 2006)
Carl MILLARD was born on a snowy November 28 day in 1913 on his
father's 100 acre farm at Folden's Corners, near Ingersoll, Ontario.
It was only 10 years after the Wright Brothers first flight,
and their invention of the 'flying machine' and Carl's path through
life were going to intersect. But before that happening, Carl
would be going to the one-room school house, where Grade 1 was
in the back row and Grade 8 was in the front row, and it was
here in Grade 8 that the school marm took a disliking to young
Carl. Another boy, the school prankster, had loaded all the students'
bench seats with cap pistol sparkers so that when the seats were
slammed down to start the morning class there erupted a halluva
lot of noise and smoke. Carl's delight at the incident annoyed
the school marm, and she tried to threaten Carl into revealing
the culprit, but she ran up against a boy with principles whose
attitude was 'If you want to catch somebody, do it yourself,
you're not going to use me', and so it came to be that young
Carl was deliberately failed. He would have to repeat Grade 8.
Carl's mother, Vera
(SHUTTLEWORTH, 1890-1960,) was a no-nonsense
hard working farm wife who went into battle with the school board,
who eventually and reluctantly would allow Carl the opportunity
to write the Grade 8 exams again. But there was a hitch, he would
have to wait until next year. He spent the next year working
on the farm, and when he did pass the exams the following year
he had already been working full-time and given up the plans
to study mechanical engineering. Carl's father, Earl (1888-1978),
bought a used Model T in 1925, and it wasn't long before Carl
was driving the milk cans to the cheese factory, even though
he was only 12 years old, and changing engine main bearings before
he was not yet a teenager. His natural talents included learning
the accordion, completely self-taught, on an old instrument picked
up at an auction. He became a master player, all by ear. He could
not read one note of sheet music. Ploughing on the farm was done
with a one-furrow handplough pulled by a team of two horses,
and it was on such a day when Carl was 15 years old, a 'big,
red monoplane' thundered directly overhead flying low under a
misty cloud cover, eastbound, in a London, Ontario to London,
England record attempt. (Unfortunately the Stinson Detroiter
vanished over the Atlantic). The sight of the airplane had a
lasting effect. From that moment on, the young boy dreamed of
turning in the plough for the cockpit, but flying lessons were
$50 an hour and the average wage was 25¢ an hour. So it was going
to take a lot of determination to achieve this goal. When Carl
was 17, he decided to start his own business (in the depression!)
to earn enough money to finance his flying ambitions. He bought
an old truck that was broken, fixed it up and got it running
again. His first customer was a farmer who owned a breeding bull
that needed to be transported from farm to farm during breeding
season. The bull got to like riding around in the truck, his
head over the cab with the wind in his face. He even learned
how to lean into the corners. One day, when going down a steep
hill with a sharp right turn at the bottom, Carl applied the
brakes to find they had failed and his foot was on the floor.
He and the farmer looked at each other with the same question
in their eyes. Straight ahead into the ditch or maybe roll it
on the corner? Carl took a chance and made the sharp turn. Sure
enough, that bull leaned heavily into the corner and saved the
day. In 1939, the fledgling TransCanada Airlines expanded operations
to inaugurate a coast-to-coast route, and Carl became the 46th pilot
to be hired by TransCanada Airlines. Carl retired from TransCanada
Airlines in 1954 as second senior Captain in Toronto, having
flown Lockheed 14, 18, Douglas DC3 and North Stars for 15,000 hours.
Carl enjoyed telling the story about Mary, a newly hired stewardess
who had not gotten to know many people on the airline, yet, when
she took a flight to New York and back on the North Star. She
served the pilots dinner on the way back. After the flight debriefing,
the crew went on their own ways. Carl went home and wasn't in
long when the phone rang. It was his younger brother George.
Now George and Carl has started a little cab company, which later
became Metro Cab, because they had a couple of cars for sale
that weren't moving. 'Hey Carl, I've got a fare for you, are
you free'. Carl put on his cab driver tunic and cap, and arrived
at the apartment building. When he knocked on the door, he found
the fare to be Mary. She was stunned to see the North Star Captain
of an hour ago to actually be a cab driver. 'Are you a cab driver
impersonating as an airline captain?' she asked in disbelief.
'No,' replied Carl, 'just a pilot who is now making an honest
living.' Carl and Dell formed Millard Auto Aero Marine Ltd. in
1946, and over the next 15 years were Canadian distributors for
Steelcraft Boats, Beech Aircraft, Fleet Aircraft and Bellanca
Aircraft. The office headquarters was the little sunroom at the
back of the tiny bungalow at 127 St. Clements Avenue. Of his
many Friends, Carl held a special regard and respect for the
aircraft design genius Giuseppe Bellanca, who created outstanding
planes well ahead of the competition in terms of efficiency.
In 1927 his 'Columbia' flew from New York to Germany and stayed
aloft for 46 hours. The pilot was Clarence Chamberlin, who became
Bellanca's chief test pilot. When Carl took on being Canadian
distributor for Bellanca, he got to know these aviation celebrities
as personal Friends. One day Carl dropped into the factory at
Wilmington, Delaware to have lunch with Clarence. Carl's steed
was a Bellanca Cruisemaster that hadn't yet sold, and one that
he had installed on the side of the cowling a venturi for driving
the turn and bank, which was the common modification in those
days. After lunch, Carl noticed on his preflight walkaround that
the venturi was missing. He asked the Bellanca foreman who was
standing close by, what happened to the venturi. The foreman
nodded over his shoulder to the second floor office of the hangar
where Giuseppe was standing looking out. The foreman said 'The
old man told me he couldn't bear to see parasite drag on his
design and to move it to inside the cowling. Also it won't ice
up in there'. Carl and Giuseppe nodded to each other. Such was
the attention to minute detail of Bellanca. Improvement of aircraft
for operation in the Canadian environment occupied Carl's mechanical
creativeness. he held Supplemental Type Certificates for several
inventions, which included Stinson floatplane conversion to 190 hp.,
Stinson metallization, Cessna 170 floatplane to 165 hp., Piper
Apache to 180 hp., Stinson SR-10 cargo door installation. DC3
cabin heating system, and improved carburetor heat box design.
Post-war light aircraft manufacturers produced thousands of machines
for the exploding private market, and weather related accidents
increased at an alarming rate. Carl believed that better qualified
pilots in the private sector was the key to materially reducing
the accidents, and he went on a crusade promoting Instrument
Flight Rules training for the private pilot, at that time unheard
of, as the Instrument Rating was then a qualification held only
by airline pilots. For this work he was awarded the 1954 Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association Award for the Canadian contributing
the most to general aviation. He was also a founding director
of Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, an organization that
has been essential to the growth of general aviation in Canada.
When Carl imported into Canada the Cessna Citation executive
jet, the Department of Transport sent out a flight inspector
to take him on a check ride.
