his youth and the Canadian landscape. He finally settled in Calgary
where he attended Crescent Heights High School and met the love
of his life, Bonnie Jean
RANSOM of Calgary. They were married

FURBER
announce her passing on May 29th, 2007, in her 84th year, after
her courageous battle with stroke/leukemia. Jean passed peacefully
away at the Village of Taunton Mills Nursing Home, Whitby, Ontario,
the way she lived, with grace and dignity, in the presence of
her family. Beloved and cherished wife of Roy Francis
FURBER,
who passed away in 2000 after 54 years of marriage. Devoted and
loving mother of daughter Susan (predeceased 1988) and sons Michael
and wife Jacqui and Geoffrey and wife Liz. Beloved grandmother
of Sarah (Andrew), Ben, Cody (Tami), Tom, Aimee, Neil and Jane.
Proud great-grandmother of Trenton and Dylan. Faithful sister
to brother John
ROLLINGS and wife
Anne and sister-in-law Mavis
and family. Left also to mourn are her nieces and nephews, Tim,
Judy and Peter. Also mourning, are Rosemary, Maggie, Harry and
Margaret, Pauline and Hugh, Eiry, Isobel and John, Cynthia and

lifelong companionship and happiness to Jean. Waiting for her
in heaven with her beloved Roy and daughter Susan are grand_son
Nick and nephew Chris and parents Tim and Ruby
ROLLINGS and Charlie,
a wonderful canine friend with whom she shared a special relationship.
Born in Westcliff on Sea, England, Jean received her training
as a nurse at Peace Memorial Hospital in Watford. She worked
at Bushey Health Hospital from 1942-1944. With her marriage to
Roy came new chapters and adventures in a full and rewarding
life, raising children, setting up homes in England, Egypt and
South Africa, becoming known as the 'Pine Lady' in her 50's restoring
and selling Welsh furniture, before moving to Canada in 1989,
living near her son Michael and family. Despite a seemingly fragile
appearance, particularly in later years, Jean possessed an indomitable
spirit and an extraordinary strength and resolve, which enabled
her, time and time again, to bounce back from a steady progression
of serious conditions and illnesses. The core of her being was
wrapped in the warm embrace of family. Jean radiated a quiet,
dignified, old-fashioned grace and style. Her silent strength
was evident to her final breath. God speed, Jean! Our family
would like to thank Jeff
DONOVAN,
Doctor
REID and the wonderful
staff at Taunton Mills Nursing Home whose dedication and professionalism
showed kindness, compassion and understanding each day. Jean's
wishes are to be reunited with her beloved. A memorial celebration
of her life will be held in England. In lieu of flowers, donations
in Jean's memory may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

She was a co-founder and defender of Ontario's McMichael gallery
With her husband, she was always ready to do battle with anything
that threatened the collection. As the more knowledgeable, she
was also responsible securing significant donations
By Val ROSS,
Page S9
Toronto -- About 35,000 schoolchildren a year troop through the
McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario Until
recently, a white-haired woman with a taste for artistic scarves
would often greet them. Sometimes, she'd stoop down to pick up
after them -- whisking away stray candy wrappers as scrupulously
as if the gallery were her own house.
Once, it was. Signe
McMICHAEL was one half of the couple who
created the collection of works by Tom Thomson, Emily Carr, David
Milne and the Group of Seven, and Inuit and Woodland art and
sculpture. She and her husband, Robert, donated 200 paintings
to the public in 1965, along with the house that contained them
known as Tapawingo (Place of Joy) -- and the forest in which
it sits, about 40 kilometres northwest of Toronto.
"The sense of home that pervades the place today is due to her,"
said Tom SMART, director of the McMichael. "That kind of feel
is her legacy."
"Without this remarkable couple, there would be no gallery,"
wrote author Pierre Berton, a lifelong friend and defender of
the McMichaels, in a letter to The Globe and Mail in 1981. "[They]
gave the best years of their lives to the fulfilment of that
dream. And when the dream was complete, they turned it over to
the people of Ontario -- everything -- the astonishing collection
of paintings, the unique log building in which they were housed,
and the setting itself -- perhaps the most valuable piece of
rural real estate in the province."
Mr. Berton, the champion, invoked the ghost of Canada's first
prime minister and aimed his lance directly at Queen's Park,
which had decided to close the gallery and the estate (and with
it the McMichael's home), for two years.
"In the light of the ludicrous and contradictory statements being
made on behalf of the gallery's board and the Government, it
is pertinent to question the real motives of the bureaucrats,"
Mr. Berton wrote. "For none of the arguments has been convincing.
As Sir John A. Macdonald once said, in a different context, 'It
won't catch the blindest.' The suspicion lingers that the civil
servants are trying to get rid of the McMichaels. The public,
surely, will not stand for this shabby treatment. Every Canadian
who has spent an afternoon at this unique and splendid gallery
owes a debt to Robert and Signe
McMICHAEL."
The McMICHAELs were always ready to skirmish with anyone they
sensed who wanted to move the collection or the institution away
from its founders' vision, with Robert doing the talking, and
Signe frowning and nodding vigorously in the background.
Her family, the Sorensons, immigrated to Canada from Denmark
in 1927. They arrived when Signe was 6, settling in the Peace
River district of Alberta. Her mother, Anna Tera, died shortly
after, leaving Soren
SORENSON to bring up his three daughters,
Astrid, Signe, and Helen, in the approaching Depression. Yet
Signe always spoke of a happy childhood, with a pony, a dog cart
and explorations on cross-country skis.
A good scholar with a prodigious memory, she graduated from Alberta
College in the opening days of the Second World War and was hired
into the communications branch of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
With demobilization, she took jobs in commercial radio in Edmonton,
Vancouver -- and then Toronto, where she met a tall, confident
salesman who told her he was building a business that offered
bridal photography services.
"When I first met her, Signe
SORENSON was employed as a continuity
writer at [Toronto's] radio station CKEY," Robert
McMICHAEL
wrote in his autobiography, One Man's Obsession. "Impressed with
the care and attention she gave to writing and scheduling the
brief, inexpensive bridal commercials I purchased, I found that
I was also personally attracted to her. In spite of the small
salary I could offer, I was able to lure her to work at my photographic
studio."
This passage is one of the longest Mr.
McMICHAEL wrote about
the woman who would become his loyal wife for the next 54 years.
"The title of his book tells it all," said Geoffrey
ZIMMERMAN,
who was Ms.
McMICHAEL's legal representative on the McMichael
gallery board. "But the thing that always struck me was what
a complementary partnership it was. Bob was full of bravado,
he could bully or charm; Signe was quiet but methodical."
"I always felt he kept her under a basket," said Dennis
REID,
senior curator of Canadian art at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
"And I always liked her sweet disposition and gentle heart."
The pair married in 1949. Two years later, Robert went to see
some bush land outside Toronto on the Humber River (and here
his prose becomes genuinely romantic): "My pulse quickened and
I knew I was falling in love at first sight; an affair that would
last a lifetime. That evening, as I tried to describe the forests
and hills above the yawning valley with its twisted river… Signe
smiled at me and, I could see, was making allowances for gross
exaggeration."
But she fell in love, too, and they bought six hectares. As Robert's
photography business morphed into packaging products targeted
at the newlywed market, he travelled the continent, leaving Ms.
McMICHAEL
to handle the construction of their new house. Soon, they were
wealthy enough to fill it with Canadian landscape art.
By the late 1950s, Tapawingo had become famous for paintings
and parties, with neighbours such as the Bertons, and surviving
members of the Group of Seven, the famed association of landscape
artists that included Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A.Y.
Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald and
Frederick Varley. Tom Thomson was Friends with most of the members
but died before the group was formed. Later, the group expanded
to include L.L. FitzGerald, Edwin Holgate and A.J. Casson.
As it happens, Jackson and Varley lived out some of their final
years at Tapawingo, and some members of the group are buried
on the property.
In 1965, the McMichaels convinced the provincial government to
take over Tapawingo's operating costs and create a public gallery.
In return, they were given the unusual right to live on-site,
all expenses paid, and to occupy two of the five positions on
the gallery's board. In 1968, after more McMichael lobbying,
the gallery won Crown status, which meant that gifts could be
written off against donors' income -- a precedent for all art
patrons in Canada.
One who gave to the McMichael was Colonel Sam
McLAUGHLIN, president
of General Motors of Canada. "I doubt that but for Signe's Friendship
with Isabel
McLAUGHLIN that the colonel would have given his
collection," Mr.
ZIMMERMAN said.
By 1980, the gallery had become a conservationist's nightmare.
The couple was ousted so the building could be fireproofed, repaired
and expanded. In 1981, Ontario taxpayers paid $298,544 to buy
them a big new house in nearby Belfountain, but it wasn't the
same. They were unhappy to be away from home. "We'd still rather
have Tapawingo," Mr. McMichael said.
Another festering issue was the gallery's mandate. According
to the original deal, it was to collect works by artists "who
have made contributions to the development of Canadian art."
But what is "Canadian art"? In 1996, after curators installed
a modernistic steel-and-concrete sculpture by John McEwen on
the long entrance drive where the couple had once planted saplings
by hand, the landscape-loving McMichaels sued Ontario for breach
of contract. In June, 2000, they won. Ontario passed legislation
that restored their board positions and reaffirmed that the gallery's
mandate lay predominantly in realistic imagery.
This was the art loved by Ms.
McMICHAEL, in particular. John
RYERSON, now director of the Varley Gallery in Markham, Ontario,
chatted with her about the collection in the 16 years he worked
at the McMichael. "She was the more knowledgeable," he recalled,
"though profoundly overshadowed by Bob."
Mr. McMICHAEL died in 2003. "He was the love of her life," Mr.
ZIMMERMAN
said. "After, she was preoccupied with her memories."
But for as long as she could, he said, despite knee surgery,
she would go to the gallery to greet the schoolchildren.
Signe
Kirsten
Sorenson
McMICHAEL was born February 10, 1921,
in Sandersig, Denmark. She died of heart disease in Toronto on
Wednesday evening. She was 86. She is survived by her older sister,
Astrid WRIGHT.
She will be buried at Tapawingo beside her husband,
amid the graves of the Group of Seven. The graveyard was created
by the Province of Ontario and is restricted to members of the
Group of Seven, their wives and the founders. The graves are
laid out in a circle, with rocks from the Canadian Shield as
headstones. Members of the group not interred there are Franklin
Carmichael, Edwin Holgate, L.L. FitzGerald and J.E. MacDonald.
The funeral will be held at the gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario,
at 11 a.m. on Monday.

Prince Edward Island plant pathologist led the world in potato
research and breeding
Although unable to stomach spuds himself, he believed that with
some laboratory tinkering the humble tuber could be the answer
to beating famine in developing countries
By Douglas
McARTHUR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
As a boy, Orville
PAGE had a bad experience with a potato. He
either choked on one or had an allergic reaction. In any case,
he never knowingly ate one again.
Yet he was to become one of the world's leading potato researchers
and a strong believer in the introduction and expansion of potato
production in developing countries as a means of alleviating
hunger. The Ontario-born scientist worked in Peru from 1973 to
1985 as the first director of research and deputy director at
the International Potato Center. The centre is a multinational
institution devoted to reducing poverty through sustainable development
of the potato, sweet potato and other root and tuber crops.
Dr. PAGE, known to Friends and co-workers as Ory, had earlier
spent 12 years researching potatoes in Fredericton with Agriculture
Canada and the University of New Brunswick. And he continued
his potato work after his retirement through assignments with
a number of development agencies.
As a young man, he was based in Prince Edward Island, Canada's
potato capital, where he served as a pilot with the Royal Canadian
Air Force during the Second World War. He went on to obtain a
doctorate in plant pathology, to teach at the Ontario Agriculture
College in Guelph and to spend a number of years researching
banana diseases for the United Fruit Co. in both Honduras and
the United States.
Colleagues at International Potato Center say Doctor
PAGE set the
centre's overall research policy while letting his staff get
on with their individual projects without interference. They
remember him as a charming but tough boss, and as a dedicated
scientist with a commitment to feeding the world's burgeoning
population and a reputation for looking immaculate -- even when
inspecting agriculture projects in remote areas of the Third
World. In his spare time, he had a passion for sailing and dabbled
in studying sparrows, saying he was intrigued by the small birds'
ability to adapt to local conditions anywhere in the world.
"Ory laid the groundwork for a highly recognized international
potato research program," says Hubert Zandstra, a fellow Canadian
who was International Potato Center's director general from 1991 to
2005. One of Doctor
PAGE's major contributions, he says, was the
development of sanitary measures that allow genetic material
from potatoes to be exchanged among researchers around the world
and to be made available for breeding in developing countries.
Without those procedures, most countries would refuse entry to
specimens taken from live potato plants.
Peter VanderZaag, a Canadian potato breeder, says Doctor
PAGE's
initial priority at the centre was to collect and classify wild
and cultivated species of potato and study their properties.
His team then had to find ways to transfer disease-resistant
genes from plants that grow wild in the Andes to domesticated
varieties, a complicated process because of the genetic makeup
of potatoes.
Dr. PAGE also helped further the growing of potatoes from the
plants' seeds, rather than from pieces of the tuber as had been
the normal practice. This is important in Third World countries
because it means all the tubers could be used for food, says
Dr. VanderZaag, who was once Southeast Asian regional director
with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research,
of which International Potato Center is a member.
Dr. PAGE had a special interest in late blight, the fungal disease
that led to one million deaths during the great Irish famine
in the mid-1800s, says George Tai, a retired New Brunswick potato
researcher. Late blight continues to ravage crops today, and
Dr. PAGE worked to find a way to prevent it by building up resistance.
Under his guidance, researchers and breeders developed many new
potato varieties and introduced them to suitable locations around
the world. "To a large extent," says William George
BARKER, a
retired potato researcher and long-time friend, "the potato presence
in the world is largely his doing."
In a 1994 paper published in the Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology,
Dr. PAGE explained that potatoes yield more food energy per hectare
than cereals and are especially valuable in developing countries
that can grow more than one crop a year. The most critical problem
in developing countries is the population explosion, he wrote.
But potato production in the Third World is limited by the lack
of disease and pest controls and the limited availability of
chemical fertilizers.
Orville Thomas
PAGE grew up in Burlington, Ontario, and learned
carpentry skills from his father, English-born Thomas William
PAGE, and used them later in life to design and finish a 12-metre
wooden sailboat he called Caesar's Ghost. He passed his woodworking
skills on to his son, William, a professional carver who lives
in New Brunswick.
Orville's mother, Eunice Grace (née
BUSCOMBE,) died when the
boy was 3. He and a younger sister Grace (now
BRIDLE) were raised
by their father's second wife, Scottish-born Isobel
REID.
The future scientist was not a stellar student at high school
and was happy to sign up with the Royal Canadian Air Force when
war broke out, says his daughter, Karen
MARANTZ. He joined as
a mechanic, but soon quit and re-enlisted to be trained as a
pilot. He should have been turned down because he was colour-blind,
she says. But he avoided detection by memorizing the correct
responses to eye tests. Based at No. 1 General Reconnaissance
School in Summerside, he flew low flights over coastal waters
looking for enemy submarines. He was also the base's chief test
pilot. Wartime flying in Prince Edward Island was so dangerous
that 98 young airmen died there, mostly as the result of air
crashes. While in the service he courted Norma Isobel
ELLIS of
Summerside and married her in 1944.
After the war he went to Guelph to earn a bachelor of science
at the Ontario Agricultural College (then affiliated with the
University of Toronto), followed by a masters and PhD from Iowa
State College. From 1954 to 1957, he was an associate professor
at Ontario Agricultural College. It was there he met Doctor
BARKER,
then a fellow member of the botany faculty. The pair went on
to work together in both Honduras and Fredericton.
While in Guelph, Doctor
BARKER, who had also served in the Canadian
military, extolled the virtues of "army underwear" and convinced
his friend to buy some with him at a surplus store. The pairs
they purchased were too constrictive to wear, but became the
basis of a long-running joke.
Once while Doctor
PAGE was giving a scientific lecture in the United
States, his friend dangled a set of army underwear from the balcony
on a string. Doctor
PAGE retaliated by having a pilot friend drop
a package containing army underwear to Doctor
BARKER using a parachute.
The underwear passed back and forth on special occasions for
half a century. At Doctor
PAGE's 50th anniversary party, Doctor
BARKER
had a pair piped in on a silver tray.
From 1957 to 1959, Doctor
PAGE worked in La Lima, Honduras, where
he conducted research into banana diseases for the United Fruit
Co. He brought along his wife and two young children. Mrs.
MARANTZ
says her parents flipped a coin to decide whether to go or not.
At that time, United Fruit, which operated banana plantations,
had near-total control of most Central American economies. He
continued as a research officer with the United Fruit Co. in
Norwood, Massachusetts., from 1959 until 1961.
The family then moved to Fredericton where Doctor
PAGE was a research
officer with Agriculture Canada's national potato program until
1964 and then a professor and associate dean of science at the
University of New Brunswick until 1973. His work at the potato
centre in Lima started as a one-year sabbatical from the university,
but he ended up staying until his retirement in 1985. He hired
staff and directed the work of some 50 PhD-level scientists and
their research students. During his career he published 33 scientific
papers and served as president of the Canadian Phytopathological
Society.
On his retirement, he moved with his wife to a Summerside house
that had been built for her parents. But he continued to work
as a consultant with International Potato Center and such agencies
as Canadian International Development Agency and the U.S. Agency
for International Development. Over the years his work took him
to more than 25 countries including China, India, Tanzania and
Papua New Guinea.
In Summerside he put his knowledge of sustainable development
to use as a volunteer board member with the Bedeque Bay Environmental
Management Association, a non-profit group that focuses on local
ecosystem issues. He helped with the establishment of the Prince
Edward Island Potato Museum at O'Leary and worked on setting
up a local library in a former train station. He also laid out
a heritage tree walking tour that highlighted species imported
from Europe by pioneers or from points abroad by early seafarers.
That project won him the nickname Tree Man of Summerside.
In recent years, he began writing poetry, with environmental
issues as one of his most common themes. He continued to keep
up with developments in science until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease.
Orville Thomas
PAGE was born in Burlington, Ontario, on February 13,
1921. He died of pulmonary arrest on August 4, 2007, in Summerside.
He was 86. His wife, Norma Isobel (née Ellis), died in 2006.
He leaves his daughter, Karen Marantz, his son, William
PAGE,
and his sister, Grace Bridle.

CUMMING,
Reverend
Doctor
Ivan
Everett
Ivan CUMMING died unexpectedly on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 7,
2007, at Vancouver General Hospital, British Columbia. He spent
his last days reflecting, telling stories, and holding close
family: Nina, his high school sweetheart and wife of 58 years
children Lois (Rob

Connie
(Gordon
CALDWELL,) Pat (David
PEARCE) and Victor (Mary-Ann

McDONALD and family (Andrew, Jessica, Amber,

Ivan is also survived by younger brothers Len and Carman, many
nieces and nephews, and great-grandchildren Haley and Kyle.
Ivan was born on September 1, 1927, and raised on the family
farm in Barrie, Ontario, ninth of eleven children. His formative
years with his immediate and large extended family provided him
with the values, love, and stories he shared with all of his
acquaintances throughout his lifetime. He was a recognized high
school athlete and Valedictorian of his graduating class. Ivan
earned degrees from the University of Western Ontario, Queen's
Theological College, and Oberlin Theological College, including
a Doctor of Ministry and later an Honorary Doctor of Divinity
from St. Stephen's College, Alberta. His ministry in the United
Church of Canada spanned 60 years from 1947 and 2007 and afforded
him many roles. He worked in Vermilion Bay and Hilton, Ontario
Golden and Burnaby (Deer Lake), British Columbia; Oberlin (Presbyterian
Church), Ohio; Vancouver (British Columbia Field Secretary for
Christian Education); Naramata (Director of Naramata Centre)
British Columbia; Trinidad (Presbyterian Church); and then again
in Vancouver, British Columbia as Executive Secretary for British
Columbia Conference and Minister of Ryerson United. After retirement
in 1993, Ivan continued as an Organizational Development Consultant,
a facilitator of Seniors' education and activities (including
the British Columbia provincial Seniors' Summits), and as an
educator.
He and Nina worked and traveled the world extensively-both for
pleasure and in a volunteer capacity. Ivan will be remembered
as an inspired storyteller and passionate punster, a dedicated
and loving husband and father, a proud and giving (great) grandfather,
a leader, educator, mentor, generous friend to many, and avid
curler. A memorial service, celebrating Ivan's life and gifts
will be held at Ryerson United Church on Saturday, October 20,
2007, at 2 p.m. To those wishing to send cards and flowers, please
do so directly to the Ryerson Memorial Centre, 2195 W. 45th Ave,

REID,
Thomas
Christopher
Thomas Christopher
REID passed away on December 19, 2007 at the
age of 60. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2003, his commitment
to see and know his grandchildren helped him brave many surgeries
and procedures before finally succumbing to complications. Tommy
was a dedicated and compassionate husband, Dad, Grampa, son and
friend. He was incredibly good looking, his jokes and anecdotes
became more entertaining with each telling, and his genius will
likely never be fully appreciated. Despite all this, he was still
relatively humble. He was a master of lists, was always too early,
and he left us much too soon. He always stood up for what he
believed was right and stood by those who needed his support.
His principled nature earned him the respect and admiration of
many Friends and co-workers, and pissed off all the right people.
To the end, his children were still finding new reasons to look
up to him. He lived for his wife, children and grandchildren,
and for this they will always love him. He will forever remain
in the hearts of his wife, Susan, his children, Ginny, Tommy,
David and Crystal, grandchildren, Caleb, Maya, Andrew, Catriona
and Hayley, daughter-in-law, Tina, son-in-law, Brent, David's
partner, Carol, sisters Mary Jo and Susan, dog Hanna and cat
Navajo. Tommy was predeceased by his infant daughter, Catherine
Rebecca, parents, Mary and Tom

Patrick. Tom retired from Petro-Canada as General Manager of
Supply, Optimization and Trading in 2002. Private family burial
will take place at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens, Nanaimo, British
Columbia. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cancer Foundation,
North Island Wildlife Recovery Association (250-248-8534) or

Hundreds mourn 2007's first homicide victim
Family members comfort each other after the funeral of Jean
SPRINGER,
killed when she opened her front door on New Year's Day. Vince
TALOTTA / Toronto Star
By Thulasi
SRIKANTHAN,
Staff
Reporter
In the cold spitting rain, hundreds of mourners gathered at a
Scarborough church to pay their respects to Jean
SPRINGER,
Toronto's
first homicide victim of 2007.
Row upon row was packed with teary-eyed mourners at Morningstar
Christian Fellowship, who prayed and remembered the 60-year-old
as a kind and loving mother of two.
"She was selfless," said her friend, Judy
SUTHERLAND, as she
stood in the cold after the service. "We will miss her but we
will celebrate her life."
SPRINGER was shot to death shortly after she opened her door
on New Year's Day.
Altaf IBRAHIM, 26, was arrested in connection with the shooting.
He is believed to have been a friend of one of
SPRINGER's sons.
At the church yesterday, family members hugged each other as
they waited in the cold and rain, watching the casket being loaded
into the hearse.
Many wiped away tears as they left the service where two photo
collages were on display, filled with pictures of
SPRINGER through
the years, from her childhood days -- to dancing with her husband,
Arden-Ray.
A friend, Judy
INGRID, said
SPRINGER lived her life in a way
that inspired others to want to "model our life after her."
With her warmth, faith and her smile, Ingrid said
SPRINGER drew
many to her.
"From this turnout, you can see."
SPRINGER was born February 9, 1948 to Alva and Gwendolyn
REID
in the Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. As a young girl, she
shone academically.
Eventually, her academic aptitude led her to win a scholarship
to Bishop Anstey High School.
In the years following, she went to Trinidad's Mausica Teachers'
College where she graduated with a teacher's diploma.
After meeting and marrying her husband, she moved to Canada where
she became a bookkeeper and accountant after teaching for a few
years.
In Canada, she raised her two sons, Anton and Anwelle.
SPRINGER was also well known in her community as a woman with
a strong Christian faith. She often led prayers and took part
in the women's ministry at her local church.
"She was a very inspiring lady," said Sandra
MILLER, another
friend who had come to pay her respects.
A viewing for Friends and family was also held yesterday at Ogden
Funeral Home.
