Margaret Harte
STUDER, known to all as Margie, passed away in
Ottawa on Saturday, August 11, after a short illness. She was
just shy of her 87th birthday. Loving and beloved wife for 47 years
of the late G/C (Ret.) H.R.
STUDER, remembered with pride and
affection by sons David (Susan

Michael
(Alicia
MULAK)
and Peter (Gillian) and by grandchildren Christopher and Paola,
Nicholas and Stephanie, and Erica and Ashton. Predeceased by
sister Catherine and brother Philip, she is mourned by many nieces
and nephews and legions of warm Friends. This resilient daughter
of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia rose to all challenges: raising three
sons, quarterbacking countless military moves, starting a successful
career in her 50s. Comfortable among brass and regular folk alike,
she was ever true to her own golden rule: 'Do good unto others,
regardless.' Per her wishes, interment immediate family only.
A memorial reception will be held Friday August 24, from 2 to

MULDOON,
Lawrence "
Laurie"
Passed away in his seventy-seventh year with dignity surrounded
by family on September 12, 2007 at Trillium Health Centre in
Mississauga. Laurie is dearly missed by Shirley, wife of fifty-one
years, Dear Old Dad of Teresa and Gary, Mary and Norm, Ruth and Michael
and Tim, and Silly Ole Granddad to Shaun, Heather, Emily, Rosemary,
Thomas, Nicholas, and deceased grandchildren Amanda and Matthew.
Brother of Peter (deceased), Nick, and Mary and fondly remembered
by extended family and Friends in England and by Lise, Lauren,
Will, and Luc. Born in London, England, Laurie married Shirley
and the two immigrated to Toronto in 1956 to start a new life.
Laurie began his career at Toronto Western Hospital and moved
to Hillcrest Hospital in 1965, where he assumed the position
of President and Chief Executive Officer in 1972. After many
years at Hillcrest, and after gaining much respect and admiration
from his colleagues, Laurie left the hospital in 1993 to enjoy
his retirement. In retirement, many organizations benefited from
Laurie's expertise in administration, including St. Patrick's
Church, St. Vincent de Paul, ShareLife, and Kipling Acres. Shirley
and Laurie also fulfilled their dreams by traveling the world
extensively, meeting many new Friends along the way. Laurie was
a voracious reader and passionately enjoyed the arts - music,
ballet and theatre. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed complaining
about the Leafs, watching Jay's games with a beer, and cheering
on the Cowboys, and he was a staunch supporter of the Gunners
until the end. Beyond all his accomplishments and what he loved
in life, Laurie will be remembered by those who knew him as being
a kind, generous, funny, and charming gentleman. We are all better
for having known him. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter
'Peel' Chapel, 2180 Hurontario Street, Mississauga (Hwy 10, N. of
the Queen Elizabeth Way) (905) 279-7663 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
on Monday, September 17. The Funeral Mass to be held at St. Patrick's
Church, 921 Flagship Drive in Mississauga on Tuesday September 18
at 11 a.m. Interment to follow at Assumption Cemetery. (Tomken
Road and Derry Road) We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks
to the staff at Sunnybrook and a special thanks to the staff
at Trillium, especially 4D and 4B, who generously gave exceptional
and compassionate care to Laurie and his family in his final
days. In lieu of flowers, donations made to Trillium Health Centre
or St. Patrick's Church would be appreciated. 'Farewell my Friends'

MULHOLLAND, William "Bill" David Jr.
Died peacefully at home with his family on September 8, 2007,
at the age of 81. He is remembered with love by his wife of 50 years,
Nancy (née
BOOTH;) children William David, Charles Douglass,
James Andrew, John Alexander, Elizabeth Helen, Madeline Louise,
Sarah Alexandra, Caroline Marie, and Bruce Henry; and grandchildren
Matthew, Eric, Fiona, Samuel, Patrick, Veronique, Isabelle, Madison,
Finny, William and Andrew. Born in Albany, New York 1926, to
the late William David and Helen Elizabeth
(FLACK)
MULHOLLAND,
Bill graduated from the Christian Brothers Academy in 1944 and
immediately enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he was commissioned
in the infantry and served in the Philippines until honourably
discharged in 1946. He then completed his education at Harvard
College (B.A. cum laude 1951) and Harvard Business School (M.B.A.
1952). Joining Morgan Stanley and Co. in 1952, he became a general
partner in 1962 and spearheaded the then largest-ever sale of
corporate securities to finance construction of the Churchill
Falls hydro-electric project in Labrador. In 1970, he accepted
the position of Brinco President and Chief Executive Officer, driving
construction of the $1 billion hydro-electric plant to its successful
completion ahead of schedule and under budget in 1974. In 1975,
he moved to the Bank of Montreal where he served as President
(1975-81), Chief Executive Officer (1979-89) and Chairman of
the Board (1981-90). During his tenure, he led Canada's oldest
bank into the modern era of financial services, orchestrated
its expansion into the United States with the purchase of Harris
Bank, and significantly improved the bank's performance, readying
it for the intense competition of the emerging global marketplace.
Bill was a champion of excellence and believed strongly in the
importance of ethics, setting a clear standard in all of his
business undertakings and consistently delivering this message
publicly, especially to business students. He contributed actively
to many organizations, including Saint Mary's Hospital, Montreal
Symphony Orchestra, Memorial University, Queen's University,
Atlantic Brücke, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Foundation,
the Canada Olympic Trust, Saint Michael's College Foundation, L'École
des Hautes Études Commerciales, the Hudson Institute, and the
Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. He served as a Director
of numerous companies, including Upjohn, Standard Life Assurance,
Canadian Pacific Railway, and Kimberley-Clark. In recognition
of his public service, he was awarded honorary doctorates by
Memorial University (1972) and Queen's University (1988), as
well as Israel's Prime Minister's Medal (1987) and the Knight
Commander's Cross (Badge and Star) Order of Merit from the Federal
Republic of Germany (1989). On his retirement, Bill was able
to realize a lifelong passion, working with his wife Nancy, son
James and daughter-in-law Elke to build one of the premier Hanoverian
stud farms in the world, Windswept Farm. Friends are invited
to join the family for visitation from 2: 00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Tuesday, September 11, at the J.S. Jones and son Funeral Home,

be held at Holy Cross Church (224 Maple Ave.) in Georgetown,
Ontario at 10: 00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 12. Followed by
a reception at his residence Windswept Farm 8th line Georgetown,
Ontario, Canada. In lieu of memorials, donations to the Parkinson's

Bill MULHOLLAND: 81
Bank Of Montreal Chief Executive Officer Led Expansion Into U.S.
By Canadian Press, Page S8
Toronto -- Bill
MULHOLLAND, the former chairman and chief executive
of Bank of Montreal and the man who led its growth into U.S.
markets and the brokerage industry, died Saturday at his home
in Georgetown, Ontario He was 81.
The Albany, N.Y.-born former U.S. Army soldier joined Bank of
Montreal in 1975 as president after a stint as a Wall Street
investment banker. At Bank of Montreal, he led the 1984 acquisition
of Harris Bankcorp Inc. of Chicago, a unit the Toronto bank has
since used to expand its footprint in the key U.S. Midwestern
market.
Mr. MULHOLLAND also helped negotiate the acquisition of Nesbitt
Thomson Inc. in 1987, the first bank takeover of a Bay Street
brokerage, after Ottawa eased the barriers that had separated
banks, trust companies, insurers and brokers in Canada.
After leaving the army in 1946, he graduated from Harvard University
and later joined Morgan Stanley and Co. While there, he led what
was then largest-ever sale of corporate securities to finance
the Churchill Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador. In 1970,
he became president and Chief Executive Officer of Brinco, the
company that built the $1-billion hydroelectric plant, a project
completed in 1974.

Headstrong Chief Executive Officer saved Churchill Falls and
rescued the Bank of Montreal
An emergency boss who took over after a plane crash wiped out
everyone else, he brought the power project in on time before
moving to a troubled Bank of Montreal, where he ruthlessly cleaned
house
By Gordon PITTS,
Page S8
Besides banking and family, William
MULHOLLAND's grand passion
was raising Hanoverian riding horses, which, according to one
of his nine children, are "headstrong, able and smart." Those
adjectives can just as easily be applied to her demanding father,
said Caroline
VAN
NOSTRAND.
Those traits helped propel Mr.
MULHOLLAND, a U.S.-born outsider,
into one of Canada's most exciting and controversial management
careers. He was the emergency boss who came in to save the massive
Churchill Falls power project in Labrador. Then he turned around
the Bank of Montreal, Canada's oldest bank, and as a financial-services
innovator helped change the country's banking industry.
As an agent of change at the lacklustre Bank of Montreal, he
fired executives who didn't measure up, winning a reputation
as a tough, uncompromising boss. He tightened credit policies,
led technological innovation and bought a Chicago bank in a far-sighted
move that anticipated a North American market. He helped lead
the Canadian commercial banks' march into investment banking
with the purchase of brokerage Nesbitt Thomson.
Like many turnaround managers, he was accused of staying too
long as Chief Executive Officer and losing touch with a rapidly
evolving industry. Yet he reached down into the ranks to develop
a new generation of Bank of Montreal leaders that included future
Chief Executive Officers Matthew Barrett and Anthony Comper.
He was a complicated man who was seen as remote, autocratic,
introverted and eccentric, but he was regarded as brilliant for
some of his strategic moves. He could become deeply absorbed
in detail and alarmingly inattentive to people's feelings. In
describing him, Friends often fall back on that old cliché: "He
did not suffer fools gladly."
"My father was not always easy," said Ms.
VAN
NOSTRAND, who lives
in Toronto. "He had exacting standards and he upheld them for
himself and expected others to do their best to get that same
quality.
"But you can't mistake that for a lack of true caring and love
and a huge commitment to family."
Still, for all his high standards and strategic thinking, Mr.
MULHOLLAND's
own career was almost haphazard, the product of tragic circumstances,
timing and managerial agility.
He was born in Albany, New York the
son of a civil servant who
became New York's director of parks. Even at birth, he had a
Canadian connection - his maternal great-grandmother was a French-Canadian
from Trois-Rivières. He attended Christian Brothers Academy,
a Catholic military school in Albany, where he became an expert
rider, marksman, and fly fisherman -- interests he pursued throughout
his life.
He graduated from high school, joined the U.S. Army during the
Second World War and trained as a weapons instructor before being
posted to the Philippines. After discharge, he entered Harvard
College, got his B.A., then earned an M.B.A. from Harvard Business
School, while working in the summers as a park ranger.
He then parlayed a social connection with the financier Morgan
family to join the investment banking house Morgan Stanley and
pursue a career on Wall Street.
He married the daughter of a family friend, Nancy
BOOTH, on June 22,
1957. Their rearing of nine children (four daughters and five
sons) has been attributed by his wife to the consequences of
a union between an Irish Catholic and a Free Methodist.
Mr. MULHOLLAND thrived in investment banking. One of his clients
was Brinco, a Montreal firm of British-Canadian origins that
was building the $1-billion Churchill Falls hydro project. He
placed a $500-million bond issue for the company - at that time,
a record sale of securities by a corporation.
But on November 11, 1969, Brinco's executive jet crashed, killing
six members of its senior team, including the president and finance
vice-president. The company was leaderless at a critical juncture
in the Churchill Falls project. Mr.
MULHOLLAND "was the last
man standing who knew what it was all about," said Richard
O'HAGAN,
who was later his public-affairs specialist at Bank of Montreal.
In January, 1970, at the age of 43, he moved to Montreal to become
Brinco's president and Chief Executive Officer. He also joined
the board of the Bank of Montreal, which was the principal commercial
banker for the Churchill Falls project. He brought the project
in five months ahead of schedule and under budget.
Ron SOUTHERN, the Calgary-based head of Atco Ltd., was supplying
Brinco with housing for its Churchill Falls work force. He was
also negotiating to build housing factories in the Soviet Union
and invited Soviet president Alexsei Kosygin to tour his facilities
in Montreal. Mr.
MULHOLLAND agreed to provide testimonials for
the Atco products, and impressed Mr.
SOUTHERN with his ability
to hold his own in intense geopolitical discussions.
It was the beginning of a Friendship that was cemented in the
mid-1970s, when Mr.
SOUTHERN opened his Spruce Meadows equestrian
centre near Calgary. Mr.
MULHOLLAND attended the first major
equestrian event, impressing Mr.
SOUTHERN with his own riding
skills. Each year, he would take a long country ride on the morning
of the big event.
With
Churchill
Falls complete, Mr.
MULHOLLAND was recruited to
become the Bank of Montreal's president in 1975. He found another
organization in crisis mode. "It took him about a year to get
a grip on the bank, but he was a bulldog and he got it done,"
Mr. SOUTHERN said.
The new banker became immersed in Bank of Montreal's liquidity
problems and cost-control challenges, as well as its struggles
to move from manual systems to the computer age. After the incumbent
Chief Executive Officer retired, he took the top job in January,
1979, adding the chairman's role 2½ years later.
He was involved in hiring Mr.
O'HAGAN, who had served in the
Prime Minister's Office under another eccentric legend, Pierre
Trudeau. Mr.
O'HAGAN recalled how his job interview with Mr.
MULHOLLAND
stretched to more than two hours, until he finally telephoned
his next interview party to beg forbearance. Mr.
O'HAGAN was
fascinated by this brilliant, obsessive man and joined the Bank
of Montreal team.
That extended interview was a harbinger of the
MULHOLLAND style.
He was notorious for unpredictably long meetings, forcing managers
to queue up for hours, awaiting audiences that lasted long into
the evening.
He was determined to weed out the perceived dead wood that had
allowed the bank's problems to build. In his zeal to cleanse
the ranks, he was accused of creating a demographic crisis in
the bank. One unidentified manager told Report on Business magazine
in 1989 that "an entire generation of management has been cremated."
"Those judgments were not made whimsically - they were made on
the basis of performance," insisted Grant
REUBER, the bank's
president during the
MULHOLLAND era. "I don't think he relished
letting people go, but if they hadn't measured up and they hadn't
recovered, they probably didn't survive."
Jeff CHISHOLM, a retired Bank of Montreal executive, said he
never saw this side of his former boss - Mr.
MULHOLLAND simply
demanded honest answers from his managers. He said his positive
traits never came to light because the Chief Executive Officer
did not really care what critics thought of him.
Mr. MULHOLLAND also pulled off a deal that transformed the bank:
the 1984 purchase of Harris Bank, a U.S. Midwest regional powerhouse
based in Chicago. Some critics have contended that once the deal
was done, the bank didn't really capitalize on its new U.S. platform
- but at minimum, Mr.
MULHOLLAND created the potential platform.
"He had a vision about what was going to happen to the North
American economy and to financial services within North America,"
said Mr. Chisholm, a former Harris Bank executive who joined
Bank of Montreal.
Later, Mr.
MULHOLLAND moved quickly on the deregulation of Canada's
financial industry by acquiring Nesbitt Thomson, the foundation
of today's Bank of Montreal Nesbitt Burns Inc., the bank's investment
subsidiary.
Whether he stayed too long is much debated; it's a common problem
with strong leaders in politics and business. But Mr.
MULHOLLAND's
saving grace was to leave the bank in good hands.
Mr. Barrett, his successor, was a charming people person who
provided a sharp contrast with his more aloof predecessor. Mr.
MULHOLLAND
"knew he was not Mr. Popularity with everybody," Mr.
O'HAGAN
said. "He recognized there would be a contrast and that Barrett's
personal style would register differently. I think that was part
of the reason he chose him."
Mr. Barrett, now retired from banking, said in an e-mail message
that "Bank of Montreal shareholders and employees owe a debt
of gratitude to Bill for stepping into the bank at a difficult
time in its history. Those that succeeded him benefited greatly
from his legacy.
"He once joked that he built the Stradivarius that others played
beautifully. I certainly agree with that."
After he retired in 1990, Mr.
MULHOLLAND had time to focus on
family, horses and his beloved Windswept Farm near Georgetown,
west of Toronto. He worked to develop the Hanoverian breed in
Canada.
But in recent years, Parkinson's disease took its toll. At the
MULHOLLANDs' 50th wedding anniversary party in early July, Friends
felt he almost willed himself to attend. It wasn't long afterward
that he was admitted to hospital.
William MULHOLLAND was born in Albany, New York on June 16, 1926.
He died of complications from Parkinson's disease and other medical
problems at his home near Georgetown, Ontario, on September 8,
2007. He was 81. He is survived by his wife Nancy, nine children
and 11 grandchildren.

attention to a future that led her to nursing, enlistment in
the Canadian army and a degree in commerce and economics whose
beginnings took shape in a unique institution called the Khaki
University.
She had begun her life as a farmer's daughter in North Battleford,
Saskatchewan. Her parents were homesteaders from Norfolk, England,
who had crossed the Prairies by train after arriving in Halifax
in 1905. Her father, Jack
MANTS, kept a travel diary and, upon
arriving in Saskatchewan, he wrote a succinct description of
the landscape: "There are a lot of train wrecks here."
Farming in southern Saskatchewan was never easy. Land that had
previously been disturbed only by grazing animals went under
the plows of thousands of farmers. The top soil, made dry by
drought, became airborne in immense black clouds of dirt so that
dust lay thick on the kitchen counters during Esther's childhood.
Later, in the bleakest days of the Depression, she was sent to
work as a 14-year-old au pair in Edmonton. It was fortunate that
her employer was also her high-school principal; she was able
to stay in school as well as hold down a job.
Esther weighed her prospects. As she saw it, she had two choices:
nursing or teaching. She chose nursing because it paid better.
She attended Edmonton nursing college and, after graduating in
1941, started work as a public-health nurse in a town called
Bonanza, near Peace River, Alberta. She lived alone in the bush
and travelled from community to community but decided, after
a while, that her nursing skills would be more useful elsewhere.
By then it was the middle of the Second World War, so she enlisted
in the military alongside her younger brother, Jim, who became
a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
In 1944, Ms.
POKRUPA joined Canada's Nursing Sisters and went
overseas to serve in Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps hospitals.
First, however, she was sent to work for a short time at a prisoner
of war camp at the exhibition grounds in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
The camp housed more than 12,000 Germans, many of whom were ardent
Nazis who that same year famously court-martialed and executed
fellow PoWs for expressing defeatist views.
Once overseas, she ended up working in two well-established British
army hospitals, one near Basingstoke, in northeast Hampshire,
and the other near Horsham, in West Sussex. Basingstoke was the
site of the No. 1 Canadian Neurological and Plastic Surgical
Hospital.
"In Basingstoke, she worked with burn victims from airplanes
used in [the air war mainly over Europe]," said her husband,
Peter POKRUPA, a retired economist with Shell Canada. "After
the D-Day invasion, she was in another hospital near Horsham,
where the casualties were brought in."
As well as keeping up with the frantic pace of an army hospital
in wartime, she also had to contend with peculiar restrictions
placed on officers - some of them with a particularly repressive
twist reserved for women. As a lieutenant, she was not permitted
to marry; nor could she socialize with enlisted men.
After the war, she stayed in Britain and attended the Khaki University
at Watford, just north of London. Established and managed by
the Canadian Army in Britain at the end of the First World War,
the school was revived in 1945 to help prepare servicemen for
their return to civilian life.
While there were few women among the student body, and most of
them women studied home economics, that was not for Esther
POKRUPA.
With a shrewd eye towards a career and financial independence,
she took up economics. Her husband described a school photograph
of her from that time: "There were hundreds of men and three
women. [The women sat] with crossed legs in the front row. It
was an incredible picture, very unusual to have women in university
at all in the 1940s - especially in England - so it was quite
unique."
Unfortunately, her studies were interrupted by a serious bout
of tuberculosis, contracted while nursing at Basingstoke. She
was sent home on a troopship and
at Halifax she was carried down
to the dock on a stretcher. There, someone in the crowd reached
out and placed an apple on her blanket, a gesture she found deeply
touching. She spent long months in a sanatorium before she could
return to her books.
In 1948, she was finally well enough to resume her studies. She
transferred her credits from the Khaki University to the University
of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and pursued her interest in economics.
"Her reason for going into nursing… was not a hard-felt passion,"
said her son, Ronald
POKRUPA, a neurosurgeon in Kingston. "She
wanted to do something more than be a registered nurse."
While at University of Saskatchewan, she met Peter
POKRUPA. By
all accounts, he was first smitten with her because of her independence
- and by the fact that she owned her own car. He was a war refugee
from Czechoslovakia, also working towards at degree in economics,
and they shared some classes.
They were married in 1950, the same year she graduated with an
economics degree. The couple moved to Toronto and their two sons
were born a short while after. A few years later, she suffered
a serious relapse of tuberculosis. In 1956, she spent nine months
in a Toronto sanatorium. "That was during the early years of
chemotherapy for tuberculosis," Doctor
POKRUPA said. "Before that
it was a death sentence. She was in one of the lucky groups that
got the drugs, and so she recovered."
Dr. POKRUPA remembers being six years old and visiting her at
the sanatorium. Years later he realized the illness cost her
dearly. "I always suspected that her having had tuberculosis
damaged her ambitions… [it was a] sobering, frightening experience
to go through, and had an impact on her attitude toward her children
as well. She had been a doting mother, but for months she couldn't
have contact [with us] for fear that we'd catch tuberculosis."
Later, she applied her nursing skills to her younger son, Paul.
In 1970, while living in Tucson, Arizona., he was shot in a robbery
and spent several weeks recuperating in hospital - with his mother
nearby.
In 1971, Ms.
POKRUPA moved to England with her husband for two
years and spent some time travelling. One of their trips was
to areas where she had nursed during the war to try and locate
the actual hospitals. Sadly, she was disappointed. Some of the
hospitals were large stately homes that had been pressed into
service. At Horsham, the hospital was said to have been the home
of the Duke of Wellington, victor of the Battle of Waterloo and
later a prime minister of Britain, and that his horse was buried
in the yard.
"We tried at Horsham," Mr.
POKRUPA said. "We asked people and
they said, 'Oh yes, there was a military hospital here, long
ago… not exactly sure where it was.' "
After returning home, Ms.
POKRUPA continued to work as a public
health nurse in Toronto until she retired in 1984 but her joie
de vivre continued long after. "Esther was interested in everything,"
her husband said. "Women's clubs, the Canadian Club in London&hellip
she even went to tea at Buckingham Palace. She was interested
in history, music; whenever we could, we would attend extension
classes at the University of Toronto, York, Elderhostel." In
a last gesture toward the living, Ms.
POKRUPA and her husband
planted 20,000 pine trees on the rocky stretch of the Canadian
Shield north of Kingston.
Esther POKRUPA was born Esther
MANTS in North Battleford, Saskatchewan.,
on August 3, 1918. She died peacefully in Kingston on October 22,
2007. She was 90. She is survived by her husband, Peter
POKRUPA,
and by her sons Peter and Ronald. She also leaves her brother,
Jim MANTS, and her sister, Norah
MULLAN, and by numerous grandchildren.

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.

Dead trucker called hero in needless crash
By Canadian Press, Wed., June 20, 2007
Toronto -- A car can be as dangerous as "a loaded gun," and as
much as the government has done to crack down on street racing
and reckless driving, the responsibility ultimately lies in the
hands of those behind the wheel, Premier Dalton McGuinty said
yesterday.
McGuinty was commenting on a Monday morning crash on the busy
Highway 400 that killed a truck driver and snarled commuter traffic
until late that night.
Three men face a total of 11 charges in the crash, in which police
blame speed and dangerous driving.
David VIRGOE, 48, of Stroud, was identified yesterday as the
driver of the tractor-trailer who died in the crash.
VIRGOE leaves
behind three children and five grandchildren.
Family members told the media
VIRGOE was a very safe and experienced
driver who drove that stretch of highway each day.
The crash was the third major accident in four days on the busy
north-south highway, and the second fatal one.
"There is no excuse for this kind of tragedy to unfold on Ontario
highways," McGuinty said.
"We'll continue to talk to our police and ask them what it is
more that we might do to make our highways safer, but at the
end of the day there's one individual who sits behind the wheel
in a car. It's like a loaded gun," he said at an auto industry
funding announcement.
Prabhjit MULTANI, 20, and Nauman
NUSRAT, 19, the two men accused
in VIRGOE's death, appeared in Barrie court yesterday and were
remanded in custody pending a bail hearing set for Friday.
witnesses: said two or three cars were speeding and weaving in
and out of traffic when one caused the tractor-trailer to lose
control. The big rig ripped out a guardrail and careened back
across the highway, tumbling down an embankment and into a ditch.
"This is happening every day on our highways and I hope our justice
system pulls through and sends a message out," said Ontario Provincial
Police
Const.
Dave
WOODFORDE.
Drivers are hailing
VIRGOE as a hero for veering away from traffic
and saving lives in the process.
"That truck driver decided at some point in a split second that
he was going to save the lives of at least a dozen people on
that highway," said Brian
PATTERSON of the Ontario Safety League.
"That guy's a hero."

Wife of crash victim calls for tougher laws
'My husband was a grandfather of five. He was 48 years old. And
I shouldn't be burying him,' she says
By Unnati GANDHI with a report from Matt
HARTLEY,
Page
A13
A day before David
VIRGOE was killed in a horrific highway accident
for which police blame street racing, the carefree man was enjoying
Father's Day with his daughter and newborn grand_son.
Just before the family sat down for dinner that evening, he saw
a snake under a patio bench and decided to have some fun with
his daughter, Bobbi Jo. He chased the 29-year-old around the
backyard while waving his hand at her, pretending he was holding
a snake.
"She's screaming like a little girl and getting a kick out of
it, and he's laughing and running after her," his wife, Debbie,
told The Globe and Mail yesterday. "He was such a funny guy."
That scene, she said, keeps replaying in her mind. Not even 24 hours
later, the tanker truck Mr.
VIRGOE was driving was sideswiped
by a speeding car on Highway 400, causing him to veer into the
guardrail and crash into a ditch. He was pronounced dead at the
scene - and hailed as a hero for avoiding an even deadlier crash.
Police say two cars were racing in the northbound lanes near
Bradford that morning. Three men in their early 20s have been
charged with dangerous driving, street racing and other offences.
But Mrs. VIRGOE, citing a similar accident that sent 11 people
to hospital on the same stretch of highway just two days before
her husband was killed, wants more done to prevent future tragedies.
"They govern our big trucks so that they don't go over certain
speeds. It's time that they governed cars," she said from her
Innisfil home. "None of the speed limits are over 100 kilometres.
How come our cars go over 200?"
A friend of 19-year-old Nauman
NUSRAT, one of the men charged,
said Mr. NUSRAT was known to go at speeds of up to 180 kilometres
an hour in his Pontiac Grand Am.
"He was into racing. It was just like for fun," said the 21-year-old,
who did not want his name published. The two had worked together
at an Etobicoke Tim Hortons for the last year.
"When I was there, I didn't let him do that. I'm like, 'Don't
do it, don't do it,' he said, adding Mr.
NUSRAT would laugh
at him for being cautious. "His other Friends were kind of scared,
too. This guy's kind of a bold guy."
A woman who identified herself as the mother of another accused,
Prabjit MULTANI, 20 - also charged with dangerous driving and
street racing - declined comment when contacted by The Globe
and Mail. Both men appeared in Barrie court yesterday and were
remanded into custody pending a bail hearing set for Friday.
A third man, charged with dangerous driving, also appeared in
court.
Mrs. VIRGOE said the charges against the men are too lax.
"They just murdered a man on the street. Was it an intent to
set out to do that? In my mind, yes. The minute you get behind
a vehicle, it is a weapon all on its own. It has the ability
to do great damage, just like putting a knife in a child's hand,"
she said.
"My husband was a grandfather of five. He was 48 years old. And
I shouldn't be burying him on Friday."
In a sad twist, Mr.
VIRGOE just met the latest addition to the
family, born on May 14, on Sunday.
Brad VIRGOE, 23, said his father was always working hard for
his family. He would leave for work on Sunday nights, and come
home on Friday nights. He said his parents, after more than 20 years,
were about to move into their first house on July 6. They spent
all of Saturday packing.
"They were renting the house they were at and saving up money
so they can go out and put down the mortgage."
Professional driver George
CHAMBERS drives the 400 regularly.
At a truck stop just south of the crash site yesterday, he said
drivers always need to be watchful for vehicles speeding and
weaving, but they must be especially vigilant near cities.
"It's a big problem," he said.
Mr. CHAMBERS said Mr.
VIRGOE did the right thing by putting the
truck in the ditch to save the lives of the other drivers. "I
would have done the same thing if I had to," he said.

SMITH,
Annie, PhD
November 21, 1940 (Elmira, New York) - October 31, 2007 (Toronto)
Our 'Annie Bear', 'Doctor Bear', as she was affectionately known,
set sail from our shores on Halloween, her gremlins set free
at last. She was surrounded by loving Friends. Annie was predeceased
by her parents, Doctor Earl and Ruth
(MANNING)
SMITH.
She is survived
by her brother, Neil and her very dear friend, Joan
MULVENEY.
Annie's other Friends and admirers are beyond count. Annie was
an alumnus of Wellesley College, Stanford University and also
of the University of Toronto where she earned her PhD. She was
justifiably proud of her role in founding the Art and Art History
Program at Sheridan College. This program is the first of its
kind to link a fine art university program with a college of
art and technology. It simultaneously offers students a B.A.
from the University of Toronto at Mississauga and a diploma in
Art and Art History from Sheridan College. 'The Annie Smith Arts
Centre' at Sheridan is a tribute to Annie's influence in the
field of art education. She was an outstanding, innovative teacher.
A gifted author and artist in her own right, she published several
books. The best known book is 'Bearing Up with Cancer', featuring
her signature doodle, a cartoon bear. The bear is used to illustrate
Annie's journey with cancer, from breast cancer in 1986 to ovarian
cancer in 1999. Annie defied the odds and used her extraordinary
talents to advantage as a speaker for the National Ovarian Cancer
Association both at home and abroad. Annie inspired not only
those dealing with cancer, but also their families and health
care professionals. The most important place in the world to
Annie was 'The Barn' at Sunny Point on Keuka Lake, New York State.
It was her refuge, her joy, a place of beauty where she could
be as one with nature and where she always felt restored in body
and mind. A natural athlete, Annie especially loved to sail on
Keuka Lake and to play tennis at The Toronto Lawn Tennis Club.
As Annie wished, there will be no funeral service. A celebration
of her life will be held at Sheridan Campus in the spring of
2008. Special thanks are given to the health care providers at
Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto General Hospital and the
Toronto Grace Health Centre. If you so wish, donations in Annie's
memory may be made to 'The Annie Smith Bear Fund for Ovarian
Cancer', Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, 610 University
Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 2M9 - 416-946-6560 and/or National
Ovarian Cancer Association, who have recently amalgamated with
Ovarian Cancer Canada at 145 Front Street, Toronto, Ontario,
M5A 1E3 - 416-962-2700.

McCAULEY,
Joan
Rosalie
(August 29, 1929-January 5, 2007)
In precisely the fashion she wanted, Joan
McCAULEY died suddenly
at home on January 5, 2007. Joan was predeceased by her dearly
loved husband Jack in 2003. Joan's life revolved around her family.
She cherished and was profoundly loved by her boys Patrick, John,
Brian and Gordon, and her daughters Lyn and Laurel. She loved
deeply her daughters-in-law Justine
SIEGEL and Catherine
McCAULEY
and her son-in-law Guy
PRICHARD. And she found immeasurable joy
in her grandchildren Roxanne, Ryan, and Jasmine, and Peter, Heather
and Jay. While she will be missed profoundly, Joan's family knows
her love intensely and bears her lessons forever. Joan will be
missed deeply by her sister and brother-in-law Irene and Bob
MULVIN, and their family, to whom she was a very special Auntie
Joan. She is mourned by countless close and dear Friends in every
corner of the globe. Joan grew up in Vancouver and retained a
deep attachment to its mountains and beaches, and her lifelong
Friends there. Jack brought her to Toronto in the 1960s and she
built a vibrant life in Etobicoke and The Kingsway. When her
boys were settled in school Joan entered real estate, and for
25 years was a highly successful and respected member of the
profession. She loved a good party, but as a wonderful hostess
Joan loved to entertain more. She compelled engagement in passionate
debates about important issues. She was a professional mentor
to many and a surrogate Mom to many more. Joan was an inveterate
traveller and continued to explore both distant lands and local
attractions. She also loved a good card game and will be missed
by her bridge partners, many of whom have been playing together
for 40 years or more. Most importantly, Joan believed in people:
that each person could and must be heard and make a difference
that no one should be marginalized; that we have a duty to each
other to love, to laugh, to help, to speak the truth. In celebration
of this great lady, Joan's family will host a reception at St. George's
Golf and Country Club, 1668 Islington Avenue, on Thursday, January 11,
2007 from 5: 00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and would be thrilled to share
stories, laughs, and memories of a meaningful life well lived.
In lieu of flowers, Joan would have appreciated donations to
your favourite charity.
