Man dies during late-night swim
Group jumps fence at motel
By Scott DUNN,
Wednesday,
August 08, 2007
A 24-year-old Hamilton man died in a closed swimming pool early
Saturday morning after jumping a fence, police confirmed Tuesday.
Bruce
Peninsula
Ontario Provincial Police said Bruno
LARANJEIRO
died after getting into trouble in the pool at the Sauble Lodge
Motel on Second Avenue North in Sauble Beach. Police were called
at 2 a.m. to investigate a report that someone may have drowned.
"Several persons jumped the fence, locked fence, and were in
the pool," Const. Dave
MEYER said in an interview Tuesday. "The
victim doesn't know how to swim apparently, according to the
girlfriend, and she was screaming for help."
People came to his aid and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation
but LARANJEIRO died,
MEYER said.
A post-mortem exam was done in Owen Sound Sunday.
Police don't suspect foul play.
Asked how
LARANGEIRO ended up in the pool,
MEYER said "He went
swimming… it was a situation he didn't know how to swim. Alcohol
was involved."
LARANJEIRO had been drinking at the motel's nightclub,
MEYER
said.
MEYER referred questions about the cause of death to the coroner's
office. Doctor Jack
STANBOROUGH said Tuesday it will take more time
before a death by drowning can be confirmed because it is arrived
at through a process of eliminating other possible causes.
He called it an "apparent drowning."
Jaswinder GREWAL owns the Sauble Lodge Motel. She said in an
interview Tuesday she closed the bar at 12: 45 a.m. Saturday and
started cleaning for about 20 minutes. She went upstairs to bed
and heard someone screaming about 25 minutes later.
She looked out the window and saw six or seven people in the
pool.
Initially she was angry that people had jumped the fence to swim
and she came down and told them to leave.
Then she grew nervous when she saw three or four people trying
to pull the naked victim out of the pool.
Next she phoned 911 but was told an ambulance was already on
the way. She returned to the victim and resuscitation efforts
were underway. She picked up the man's cold hand.
"I couldn't sleep whole night,"
GREWAL said.
A pair of underwear was found in the pool later.
Jose MARTINS said in an interview
LARANJEIRO and his girlfriend
stayed with him and four others in Room 48.
MARTINS was Friends
with LARANJEIRO and occasionally they attended the same parties.
MARTINS said his friend had been drinking that night but he didn't
see him enter the pool because he stayed in the bar. He said
his friend was a happy, sociable man. He worked in construction,
with asphalt and cement.
He understands after
LARANJEIRO's funeral Thursday he will be
taken to Portugal for burial.

Gentle priest a devoted Maple Leafs fan
By Claire NEARY,
Sun
Media,
Sun.,
December 30, 2007
Rev. Clarence
FITZGERALD, known and loved by many as "Father
Fitz," was a quiet, gentle priest, dedicated to his profession,
his parishioners -- and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Though he could make it to Toronto for only the occasional Leafs
game, FITZGERALD was also a devoted Windsor Spitfires fan and
season ticket holder.
For nearly 50 years, he touched the lives of many people across
the Roman Catholic Diocese of London in more than a dozen parishes.
FITZGERALD died of cancer, surrounded by his family in Windsor,
on December 5, at age 74.
Born in Windsor,
FITZGERALD -- known to his family as Father
Clare -- was the youngest of five children.
"He was a wonderful brother. My baby brother," said his eldest
sister, Margaret
MEYER of Brampton.
FITZGERALD always knew he wanted to be a priest and attended
Saint Peter's Seminary in London.
He played and enjoyed almost all sports, especially basketball,
golf and, of course, hockey.
FITZGERALD was ordained in 1959 and worked in parishes in Delhi,
London, Chatham, Woodstock, Saint Marys and Windsor.
He was also the chaplain at Victoria Hospital in London early
in his career.
FITZGERALD retired in 2003 but continued to perform weddings,
funerals and baptisms as long as he was healthy.
"It was amazing at his funeral to see the number of people from
all of the places he'd served," his friend Rev. John
COSTELLO
said.
"So many people talked about how he'd unknowingly touched their
lives."
Above all, Friends said
FITZGERALD was a great listener.
"He would never talk much about himself. It was always about
the other person," said Mike
RICKETTS, a longtime parishioner
at St. Alphonsus in Windsor.
"And he always found time, or made time, for the people who needed
him."
COSTELLO said many parishioners chose
FITZGERALD for confession
because he was a kind and gentle listener.
Although he was quiet and sensitive,
FITZGERALD was the king
of one-liners, his friend Rev. Chris
QUINLAN remembered.
"And we always knew never to talk to him during the Leafs games
and only to call him in between periods,"
QUINLAN said, laughing.
He described his friend as a "priest's priest" who loved spending
time with his colleagues on the golf course.

Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, in his 77th year. Beloved husband
of Lyla for over 53 years. Loving and very devoted father/father-in-law
to Douglas (Judie,) Russell (Rebecca

Cherished and adoring 'Poppa' of Kristy, Kim, Sadie and Frances.
Dear brother to Dennis of New Zealand, Brian of Australia and
Pattie (Fred
McMILLAN) of New Zealand. Lovingly remembered by
his niece Vicki
MEYER of New Zealand, as well as by many other
extended family and so very many dear Friends. Jack was born
in Wellington, New Zealand and raised in nearby Wanganui where
he developed his love of swimming and all sports. Losing his
mother at a young age, Jack learned to be self-sufficient and
began his lifelong skill of self-education. Leaving New Zealand
in 1952, Jack met his bride-to-be, Lyla, onboard ship enroute
to travel Europe. Married in London, England in 1953, they stopped
in Canada on the way back to New Zealand and stayed for good.
After leading the design effort for the 'Indians of Canada' pavilion
at Expo 67, Jack successfully ran his own design business for
many years. In 1969 Jack designed and built his family home in
an idyllic valley of the west Don River. Jack's love of life
was expressed in his vibrant paintings, woodcarvings, furniture,
and other creations, as well as in his penchant for costume parties,
singsongs around the piano or campfire, card nights, doing the
haka, and midnight tobogganing. Musically gifted, he could play
most instruments he picked up. His enthusiasm, hospitality and
good humour were legendary among his many Friends and he was
always the first to volunteer, whether for a new adventure or
to lend a helping hand. Jack was a lifelong good steward of the
earth and a regular blood donor. After retirement, Jack and Lyla
did not slow down. They traveled, continued tennis and competitive
swimming, and swam regular mornings at the Frost pool. Jack took
up downhill skiing at age 65 and spent many wonderful days flying
down the slopes - finally getting a helmet at 74! Jack never
lost the spark of youth or the twinkle in his eye. He lovingly
cared for his beloved Lyla until his last day. Those who knew
him, will remember him always. A memorial service to celebrate
Jack's life will be held at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home (6150 Yonge
Street, at Goulding, south of Steeles), on Saturday, September 29th,
2007 at 11 o'clock. Interment, York Cemetery. As an expression
of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Hemochromatosis
Society (www.toomuchiron.ca) or a charity of your choice. Please
consider donating blood in memory of Jack. Condolences www.rskane.ca

age, Jack learned to be self-sufficient and began his lifelong
skill of self-education. Leaving New Zealand in 1952, Jack met
his bride-to-be, Lyla, onboard ship enroute to travel Europe.
Married in London, England in 1953, they stopped in Canada on
the way back to New Zealand and stayed for good. After leading
the design effort for the 'Indians of Canada' pavilion at Expo
67, Jack successfully ran his own design business for many years.
In 1969 Jack designed and built his family home in an idyllic
valley of the west Don River. Jack's love of life was expressed
in his vibrant paintings, woodcarvings, furniture, and other
creations, as well as in his penchant for costume parties, singsongs
around the piano or campfire, card nights, doing the haka, and
midnight tobogganing. Musically gifted, he could play most instruments
he picked up. His enthusiasm, hospitality and good humour were
legendary among his many Friends and he was always the first
to volunteer, whether for a new adventure or to lend a helping
hand. Jack was a lifelong good steward of the earth and a regular
blood donor. After retirement, Jack and Lyla did not slow down.
They traveled, continued tennis and competitive swimming, and
swam regular mornings at the Frost pool. Jack took up downhill
skiing at age 65 and spent many wonderful days flying down the
slopes - finally getting a helmet at 74! Jack never lost the
spark of youth or the twinkle in his eye. He lovingly cared for
his beloved Lyla until his last day. Those who knew him, will
remember him always. A memorial service to celebrate Jack's life
will be held at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home (6150 Yonge Street,
at Goulding, south of Steeles), on Saturday, September 29th,
2007 at 11 o'clock. Interment, York Cemetery. As an expression
of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Hemochromatosis
Society (www.toomuchiron.ca) or a charity of your choice. Please
consider donating blood in memory of Jack. Condolences www.rskane.ca

BUTTEDAHL,
Doctor
Paz
Dr. Paz BUTTEDAHL, 65, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2007.
She is predeceased by her loving husband of 25 years, Doctor Knute
BUTTEDAHL.
She is survived by her husband, John K.
PARK, daughter
Maria Beck
BUTTEDAHL (Bob
BECK), son John
BUTTEDAHL (Lisa
FERRARI),
brother Valerio
GOYCOOLEA
(Rebecca
PALMA,) and sisters Sofia
GOYCOOLEA (Richard E.
LANE) and Loreto
GOYCOOLEA. Paz was a proud
aunt of Claudia
GOYCOOLEA
(Mauricio
MEYER,) Alexandre
COULON
(Maureen COULON-
MENASHE,)
Oliver
GOYCOOLEA and great-aunt to
Nicholas MEYER.
She was a loving step-mother to Kim and Gary
BUTTEDAHL and proud grandmother to Caleb and Alisha
GRUNERT.
Her family wishes to join in expressing all their love and appreciation
for the extraordinary person Paz was, and for the outstanding
contributions she made to the world. Paz was born in Santiago,
Chile, and created a vast network of Friends, colleagues and
students throughout the world, garnered through a long and distinguished
career. The breadth of her experience spanned work with universities,
international development organizations and agencies, and the
Canadian military. Whatever the setting, common threads ran through
all of her work: a passion for fostering international and intercultural
understanding; a focus on sustainable development; and a belief
in the possibility of creating an equitable and socially just
world. The academic portion of Paz's career involved teaching
at several universities in Canada, the United States, and Latin
America, including a faculty position at the University of British
Columbia and most recently, at Royal Roads University. Her work
at the universities was always characterized by a passionate
commitment to her students, the injection of an international
perspective and comparative education approach to her courses,
and a desire to create international partnerships linking students
and educators from the developing world with those in Canada.
Paz was sought after as a researcher and educator specializing
in international development issues, and was a consultant with
many international agencies and organizations. These included
the Canadian International Development Agency, The United Nations
Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the U.S. Agency
for International Development, and the Organization of American
States. Paz also worked for almost a decade with the International
Development Research Centre in Ottawa. As Deputy Director of
the Fellowships and Awards Division, her focus was on the development
of human resources and the strengthening of institutions in the
developing world through the education and training of their
researchers and project staff. Paz strongly believed in learning
as a crucial component in the achievement of sustainable development.
In the early 1990s, as international development issues became
more and more intertwined with issues of security, Paz was invited
to attend the National Defense College in Kingston, Ontario,
where she also contributed as the academic advisor to the Commandant.
A subsequent posting to the Centre for National Security Studies
provided a base for her research linking issues of sustainable
development to those of human security. Paz's vast storehouse
of knowledge and experience found a home and became invested
in the creation of the Master of Arts in Human Security and Peacebuilding
program at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia.
As founder and program head, Paz worked tirelessly to build the
program and to ensure its sustainability and its relevance to
the international development and security issues of today's
world. The Master of Arts in Human Security and Peacebuilding
program was to be Paz's final contribution in a lifetime of notable
achievements. In spite of failing health during the past months,
she found strength in providing ongoing leadership to the program
and in planning for its future. Paz, with her indomitable spirit
and her vision of a world that might be, has enriched and influenced
the lives of hundreds of Friends and colleagues around the world.
Her loss will be deeply mourned. A celebration of her life will
be held on at 1 p.m. on October 21 at Royal Roads University,
2nd Floor Grant Building, 2005 Sooke Rd. Victoria, British Columbia.
