HAMMOND, Kenneth William
Industrial entrepreneur, concerned environmentalist, teacher-at-heart. Born November 23, 1914, in Guelph, Ontario Died March 26, of natural causes, aged 92.
By Jeremy HAMMOND and Matthew HAMMOND, Page L8
Ken HAMMOND was one of six sons and two daughters born to Oliver HAMMOND, a Guelph-based inventor, and his wife Lillian. Out of poverty and a market-garden existence, four of the brothers turned a fascination with early radio sets into Hammond Manufacturing.
Ken would often gather his grandchildren together - or anyone else's for that matter - to discuss the great themes of nature and mankind. He had a way of enthralling young listeners, even disabled granddaughter Jenny; although unable to understand, she often listened quietly. Such a sitting (he called it "shooting the bull") usually marked the beginning of a grand exposition, one that would start with the tiniest quarks and neutrons and expand, gradually, to the immensities of outer space. Stops along the way encompassed bullfrogs and songbirds, soil science, the formation of the Earth's crust and the dance of predator and prey.
When Ken spoke he often counted his points along the outstretched fingers of an open hand: each topic traced, deliberately and emphatically, all the way along one finger with the index finger of the other hand before moving on to the next. In this manner, one digit at a time, he seemed to weave the whole web of life on Earth together, across all scales of the cosmos, in the space of a single hand.
Ken's keen interests in science and the environment were fostered by some opportune Friendships, and by a lifelong interest in educating himself about the world (in part motivated by his own lack of post-secondary education). Over the years he developed a distinguished and fascinating coterie that included university presidents, farmers, and a career spy. He knew some of the most innovative scientific and industrial figures of his time, partly through a stint on a top-secret military-industrial committee. One especially cherished friend was Doctor Richard Manske, a renowned chemist who memorably challenged Ken: "What could beat learning something new about the universe everyday?"
Decades before such matters were mainstream concerns, Ken was deeply worried - and vocal - about the "human predicament" posed by overpopulation, unsustainable rates of resource consumption, and environmental degradation. Particularly troubling to him was what he called the "economy of waste" that arose after the Second World War, and which he felt was grossly unsustainable in its methods of production and ravenous consumption. These concerns came to define what he hoped to achieve in his lifetime.
Among his many pursuits, Ken advocated actively for environmental programming at the University of Guelph. Here, he was a board member and, with the Guelph Institute for the Environment, supported the Kenneth Hammond Lecture Series, an event that continues to draw impressive speakers and has been heard on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio.
Admittedly not an optimist about humanity's fate, Ken remained troubled by mankind's trajectory to his last day. He could be provocative (and stubborn) when expressing these beliefs, yet many of the ecological threats he warned of years ago now appear to be farther along an ominous path than most of us expected. Ken saw the potential for action, though. Witnessing a post-war world shaped - rightly or wrongly - by a handful of hard-working visionaries, his overriding wish was that we would galvanize similar global efforts today to tackle the problems before us. Indeed, he would have considered this our species' only hope.
Into his oldest age, Ken was still keen to strike up one of those classic expositions. Some things had aged with him; the hands shook a little, coming to rest frequently on an old cane of Irish thorn; the topics were fewer, and repeated themselves more often. But that index finger would still come out to trace out the paths of Man and Nature; ever young was the weaver of webs. In the hospital shortly before he died, Ken told a grand_son, "I'm going to miss shooting the bull." So will we.
Jeremy and Matthew HAMMOND are Ken's grand_sons

Tourist dies after attack by panhandlers
By Matthew TREVISAN, Page A1
A tourist to Toronto succumbed to his injuries on the weekend after being attacked by an enraged gang of panhandlers in a downtown neighbourhood.
Four panhandlers already facing several assault charges will likely see those charges upgraded after Ross HAMMOND, of St. Catharines, died of his injuries Saturday, police say.
Councillor Michael THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said yesterday that panhandling in Toronto is "essentially out of control."
It has now come to a point, he said, where an innocent person has died.
"I'm saddened obviously to hear that it's come to this," said Mr. Thompson (Ward 37, Scarborough Centre), who was attacked by a panhandler in Nathan Phillips Square in April, 2006.
"It's not unexpected. I think it will happen again if nothing is done."
The city is in the midst of a pilot project to study aggressive panhandling. However, the project doesn't cover the area near Trinity Bellwoods Park, where Mr. HAMMOND was stabbed.
Mr. HAMMOND reportedly underwent several operations before dying early Saturday morning after receiving multiple stab wounds during an altercation at about 12: 30 a.m. Thursday.
Toronto police said Mr. HAMMOND and a friend were walking west on Queen Street West toward Niagara Street when two men and two women in their early 20s approached them and asked for money.
They refused, and a verbal confrontation quickly turned into a physical melee. Mr. HAMMOND, 32, was stabbed in the chest and back, and some of the accused also received minor stab wounds.
One witness said he saw one person sprinting across Queen Street with a knife in his hand. He reportedly attempted to get away by jumping onto a moving taxi, which was left bloodied, in full view of two streetcars.
Reached yesterday at the couple's home in St. Catharines, Mr. HAMMOND's widow, Kara, said any family statement will be made through Toronto police.
"This is not a good time," she said.
Sergeant Tim BURROWS said he didn't expect the incident to affect how visitors view the city with respect to panhandlers.
"I would say 99 per cent of our panhandlers, though some could get aggressive in asking for money… know their place and what they're doing, and don't affect the majority of the public."
However, at Mayor David Miller's executive committee meeting in late May, restaurateurs said panhandlers routinely steal beer, food and tips from sidewalk patios. A downtown Tim Hortons owner told the committee she was left bleeding after she was slapped in the face by a "panhandler" she asked to leave her doughnut shop.
A two-month city pilot project in which city workers work with people panhandling between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the area from Spadina Avenue to Jarvis Street, and from Yorkville Avenue to Queens Quay, concludes on September 30. A report to the executive committee is due in 2008.
When approached by panhandlers, the public shouldn't make eye contact and continue walking past them, Sgt. BURROWS said.
The four accused of no fixed address appeared in court Friday, but could be facing murder charges this week, police said.
On Friday, Sarah McDERMIT, 22, was charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, assaulting a peace officer and obstructing a peace officer. Jeremy WOOLLEY, 21, was charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm and obstructing a peace officer. Nicole KISH, 21, was charged with aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm, and Douglas FRESH, 22, was charged with aggravated assault.

Joe HAMPSON, Folk Musician (1928-2006)
Bassist with The Travellers wrote protest songs and was a spectacular dancer
By F.F. LANGAN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Joe HAMPSON played with the folk group The Travellers for more than 40 years, and last played with them at the Canadian Auto Workers convention in August last year. "The Travellers are the entertainers of choice for union conventions and New Democratic Party meetings," said his daughter Randi HAMPSON, a Toronto family lawyer. "He had a deep involvement all his life with many causes. I remember growing up with the ideas of Cesar Chavez and the Californian farm workers. There was always something like that around the house." Talk About Peace was Mr. HAMPSON's signature song, an anti-war ballad he wrote during the Vietnam era.
There's a whole lot of people in this old world living on nothing but hate /
If things don't change around pretty soon, it's going to be too late.
Those are the first two lines of the song, and these are the last two before the chorus: You better listen to the people when they talk about peace, / Hear the children when they call.
"It's as relevant today as it was 35 years ago," said his wife Sharon.
The Travellers hit their peak of popularity during the protest era of the mid- to late 1960s and early 1970s, which coincided with the Vietnam War. "The group was popular on university campuses during the 1960s and early 1970s, corresponding with the years of campus unrest, and its LP of labour songs, A Century of Song (1967), established The Travellers' profile in the Canadian labour movement," says the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music. Centennial year, 1967, was one of the busiest for The Travellers, and they performed more than 100 concerts across Canada.
All during his time with the group, Mr. HAMPSON wrote music, not just for The Travellers but for his wife, who is the Sharon of the group Sharon, Lois and Bram. Although it might be easy to slot Joe HAMPSON as a bearded folk singer, he was much more. For one thing, there were few years when he could make a living just playing for The Travellers, so he did other work.
For a long time he was a carpenter building sets on dozens of movie projects in Toronto. He also renovated houses as a general contractor working all over Toronto and designed furniture.
He was a computer fiend who got into personal computers just as the first models were coming out in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He spent a lot of time advising his Friends and family on their computer problems.
Joe HAMPSON grew up Indianapolis, Indiana He didn't have much of a socialist background. His father Joseph owned a coal mine and was once given a terrible beating by striking coal miners. He had gone out to reason with them but they made him run the gantlet and hit him with baseball bats and sticks.
His mother Dorothy played the piano in silent-movie houses, although she soon gave that up since Joe was born four months after the first "talkie" hit movie theatres, doing away with the pianist's job. His mother did make sure he had grounding in music.
He was also religious as a young man and trained to be a clergyman. Although he died "a pseudo secular Jewish atheist" -- his wife's description -- he studied to be an Episcopalian (Anglican) priest at the University of Western Kentucky. After he dropped out, he moved to Los Angeles and drifted into the edges of the entertainment business.
At one stage he applied to join into the U.S. military but was turned down because of a trick knee. In spite of the bad knee, he mastered ballroom dancing, working for the Arthur Miller dance studios -- and competing in dance contests with the owner's wife, Catherine Murray, as a partner. Joe HAMPSON was a spectacular dancer all his life and loved to show off. He last did a turn on the dance floor at a wedding in May of last year.
He opened several studios for the Arthur Murray group, including one in Oklahoma City. As well as teaching dancing, he also played in bands. One of his musical partners, John Horton, recalled he walked into the Gourd Club in Oklahoma City in 1957 and asked if he could join in.
"I told him no. But he persisted [and] noticed we had an old stand-up bass that was in pretty bad shape. He asked if he could repair it, would we let him play? He fixed it and joined us," said Mr. Horton.
This was the beatnik era, when poetry recitals and folk music filled coffee houses. Mr. HAMPSON and John Horton played folk music with a few groups, the main ones being The Wayfarers and the Phoenix Singers. One of the early partners in the group was Mason Williams, a guitar player who composed the hit Classical Gas and was a regular on the Smothers Brothers' television show.
They branched out and played at rodeos as back-up for an actor called Dale Robertson. He was famous for his role as a Jim Hardie, a troubleshooter in the television series Tales of Wells Fargo. Mr. Horton recalled that they didn't play country music at rodeos, but stuck to folk.
On one occasion, the two men were playing back-up for a black group in Virginia Beach, Va. It was 1963, and Mr. Horton remembered Martin Luther King had been through town just the week before. When they went to get their motel rooms, the owner told them there were no rooms for the black musicians.
"We said you can have our rooms," recalled Mr. Horton. All of a sudden there were no rooms for anyone. The two men decided they couldn't ignore the issue so they called the sheriff who settled the dispute by escorting everyone to a friendlier motel.
There was a more pleasant incident a couple of years earlier when the group was playing in Denver and Mr. HAMPSON spotted a young folk singer in the audience. He announced that he was going to marry her, and he did, although it was two years later.
She was Sharon TROSTIN from Toronto. At first the couple lived in Indianapolis, but Mr. HAMPSON was asked by the singer Jimmy Rodgers -- whose biggest hit was Honeycomb -- whether he wanted to play with his group. Joe and Sharon HAMPSON moved to Los Angeles. After a couple of years she became homesick and they returned to Toronto and stayed there. It was 1964, and the next year Joe HAMPSON joined The Travellers. He stayed in Canada for the rest of his life.
Along with playing bass in The Travellers, he was trained as a timpanist -- someone who plays the kettle drums, triangles, glockenspiel and other percussion instruments in a symphony orchestra. He was listed as a timpanist with the musicians' union and 10 years ago he started playing with the North York Concert Orchestra. They honoured him at a concert in December.
Joseph Lawrence HAMPSON was born on February 19, 1928, in Indianapolis. He died of lung cancer, although he had quit smoking decades ago, in Toronto on November 30. He is survived by his wife Sharon, his daughter Randi and his sons Geoff and Joe.
