(March 2, 1920-November 2, 2007)
After a wonderful life, Luella ROBINSON passed away on Friday, November 2, 2007 at the age of 87 years. Lue was born in New Horton, New Brunswick on March 2, 1920 to the late Captain Alvin WILBUR and Ella Akerly Strayhorn WILBUR. She moved to Montreal in 1939 to pursue a career in nursing and graduated from Montreal General in 1942. Lue then joined Northern Electric as the Home Care Nurse. On July 6, 1945 Lue married her humorous, affectionate and charismatic husband George Airlie (Pete) ROBINSON of Rawdon, Québec. She was a business woman before her time, but was a nurse most of all. Lue opened the Rawdon Convalescent Home in the early 1960's and she later established Heather Lodge Hospital. Many of the young men and woman hired and trained by mom simply became part of our extended family. Pete and Lue spent many wonderful years in Boca Raton golfing and enjoying a very active social life with their many Friends. In 1990 they moved from Rawdon to Calgary to be nearer to their daughters. Lue is survived by three daughters and sons-in-law, Heather and Daniel J. GAGNIER, Terry and Bruce CHURCHILL- SMITH, and Lynne ROBINSON who were her pride and joy; by her two grandchildren, Peter and Jane CHURCHILL- SMITH. She will also be missed by her sister, Elta Wilbur DUGID, sister and brother-in-law Doris Wilbur HICKS and Harvey HICKS of New Brunswick and their five children, Susan, Nancy, Karen, Barbara, and Hugh. Lue will be lovingly remembered by many grand nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister Mildred Wilbur STEEVES and by her beloved brother Harry STRAYHORN. A Private Family Service was held in Calgary. In the summer of 2008 a Memorial Service will take place in Rawdon, Québec. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

Death of elderly Scarborough couple suspected murder-suicide
By Jessica RAFUSE, Page A12
The death of an elderly couple marks the city's second suspected murder-suicide in less than a month, sparking concerns about the issues geriatric caregivers face when they are ill themselves.
A woman visiting her parents' Scarborough home late Tuesday evening discovered the body of her 81-year-old mother in a bedroom. She had a gunshot wound to the head. Police later found her 83-year-old father in a car in the garage, also shot in the head.
Neighbours say the elderly woman had cancer, while her husband, who had been her primary support and caregiver, was recently hospitalized for heart complications.
"I guess he just couldn't cope any more," said neighbour Ramon SMITH, who is 75 and takes care of his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
The scene in Scarborough was eerily familiar for Toronto police, who just last month found the bodies of Percy STEIN, 66, and his mother Sarah GRUPSTEIN, 84, in a condominium downtown, in what is also believed to be a "mercy killing."
Rather than succumb to the stomach cancer Mr. STEIN was battling and leave his wheelchair-bound mother to be sent to a nursing home, he decided to end their lives himself. He shot her before killing himself on the bed beside her. He left a note.
Benoit MULSANT, clinical director of geriatric mental health at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said these cases highlight an important type of murder-suicide in which an individual who is taking care of an older person, usually debilitated and dependent, comes to the "distorted conclusion" that they are both better off dead.
"When looked at, it first appears to be humane," said Doctor MULSANT. "But the person who is killed is not consulted and not able to express his or her opinion."
While murder-suicides are rare, depression and feelings of hopelessness are not a natural part of aging and need to be treated, Doctor MULSANT said.
"People expect older people to be miserable, so this makes it acceptable. But, wrongly so."
The uncertainty of what lies ahead, loss of companionship and the shifts in roles and responsibilities are some of the major challenges elder caregivers deal with, said Arlene CONSKY, a social worker for Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care.
The difficulties with coping and adjusting to these changes can be a source of depression, especially when caregivers are battling illnesses of their own, and have negative consequences on their behaviour and frame of mind if left untreated.
Dr. MULSANT advises people to pay serious attention when individuals make negative comments about their life, have sleeping problems, are experiencing weight loss or lose passion and interest in their usual activities.
It's important to watch for these symptoms because many elderly patients who suffer from them won't necessarily bring them up, often due to the stigma surrounding mental illness and old age.
Dr. MULSANT also reminds people that if they're concerned about someone, they shouldn't be afraid to ask them if they are thinking about death or want to die for fear they're planting ideas in their head.
"Many people are relieved that someone cares," Doctor MULSANT said. "Many people who are suicidal will tell you the truth and are happy that you want to help."
Accessing support and services that assist caregivers is one of the most important steps to reducing rates of depression, said Ms. CONSKY.
"Knowing they're not alone and not the only ones has a way of transforming the way they're coping from a victim to an empowered person," she said.

Musician co-founded the 'Ice Cream Quartet'
By Meghan WATERS, Staff Reporter
The spirited new classical music of Quartetto Gelato has been heard at Roy Thomson Hall, New York's Lincoln Center and as far away as Japan, Italy and outer space.
But it was at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto that oboist Cynthia STELJES, 46, heard for the last time the recordings that made her famous.
"I wanted her to know what an amazing artist she was," said her husband and quartet co-founder Peter DE SOTTO. "I crawled up on the bed next to her and held her, telling her stories of us being on tour, telling her about all the people who had written letters to her."
STELJES died on December 29 after being diagnosed last June with pleural mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure in childhood.
She was born one of four siblings in Deep River, located about 200 kilometres northwest of Ottawa and home to scientists and technicians who work at the nuclear research facility in nearby Chalk River.
Her scientist parents encouraged STELJES' love of music -- her father was a gifted pianist -- and she first learned the piano and clarinet, her brother Alan STELJES said.
When STELJES was 15, the family travelled to Europe and her parents bought the teen her first oboe in Geneva. In Canada, she had to travel to Ottawa for lessons, her brother recalled.
STELJES achieved near-flawless grades in high school and completed her education at several schools, including the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
It was here that she met DE SOTTO, who said he thought she was beautiful "and possibly the smartest person I'd ever met."
"Cynthia is a little bit more withdrawn than I am. She thinks before she acts, and I am the absolute opposite of that. Everything I didn't have -- organization, discipline -- Cynthia had," he said.
The two wed when STELJES was 22, and their careers blossomed.
STELJES had already travelled the world with a wind quartet, while DE SOTTO was a violinist with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and was developing his talents as an operatic tenor.
But it was the owner of the Mono Cliffs Inn north of Toronto, a restaurant frequented by the couple, who convinced them to start performing together in public after learning they were musicians. So they sang and played with some musician Friends stunning customers by including gypsy and folk music with straightforward classical fare. A foursome was eventually formed.
"By the second performance, the place was sold out and we had to turn people away. By the time we'd done six or seven concerts, we realized we had a strong repertoire," DE SOTTO said.
The name Quartetto Gelato -- Ice Cream Quartet -- was chosen to reflect the group's whimsical variety. They cemented their lineup with a cello and an accordion, and were soon performing across Canada.
"We got together to have fun playing chamber music," STELJES told the Toronto Star in 1994. "And then we had too much fun. We thought maybe we should do something with this."
Only STELJES and DE SOTTO were constants in the quartet over the following dozen years and six CDs, selling 150,000 copies. In 1997, Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk brought two of the group's CDs with him on-board the space shuttle Columbia.
Some of STELJES'dreams for the group recently started coming true: The quartet released a DVD and are preparing to record music to accompany Robert Munsch's children's story Love You Forever. The quartet -- with a new clarinetist to replace STELJES is also booked solidly in venues around the world.
Last spring, DE SOTTO noticed his wife, a health-conscious marathoner, was running a little bit slower and he asked her to see a doctor.
Last June, an X-ray of STELJES' lungs revealed a large mass. She underwent an operation to remove one of her lungs, her diaphragm, pericardium and three ribs -- drastic surgery that only offered her a 40 per cent chance of recovery.
"We were so filled with hope, we really expected her to live. Two weeks after the surgery, she was playing the oboe," DE SOTTO said.
Then STELJES suddenly got worse. The doctors found fluid with cancerous cells underneath her remaining lung. She got weaker and soon she was having trouble breathing. As she lay dying in her hospital bed, DE SOTTO sang her a song from Peter Pan, the same one he always sang when she was sad.
"She was smart and elegant and sophisticated, but also naïve and innocent. That gave her such honesty and integrity when it came to her play," DE SOTTO said. "We shared this incredible bond of music and love. I could never play better than I would with her."
