Harry Robert
AMBROSE
Harry Robert

2008 at the Manitoulin Health Centre in Little Current at the age of 64.
He was born in Bowmanville, the
son of the late Robert and Viola
COOPER)
AMBROSE. A special loving husband, companion and best friend of Gladys.
Father to daughter Tammy Lyn and special Pops to Vic. Dear brother of
Margaret (husband Les) Fickling, Jim (wife Vivian) Ambrose, Harvey (wife
Cheryl) Ambrose. Harry will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Harry grew up in Oshawa and worked from being a paper boy to working at
General Motors until he officially retired in October 1996. He was a
member of Saint Steven's United Church and sang in the choir. Harry moved
to Manitoulin Island in 1994 to be with the love of his life and made
many, many new Friends during his time here. He was an active member of
the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 177 always volunteering and giving
donations to support their events. It was through the Legion that he took
up curling, going out at least three times a week. He enjoyed this sport
and was very proud when the team won the provincial curling championship
in 2006, bringing the trophy back to Little Current. A fun loving
character, he always was the life of any gathering and loved to make
people laugh through his passion for singing and playing the "
BONES." He
was a professional welder and took on many welding jobs after doing shift
work at GM. He loved stock cars and helped build them but never actually
raced. He attended many Nascar Races and his favorite was the #5 car
driven by Terry Labonte. Although he would always say, "I've never done
this before", Harry was a self-taught woodworker, and carpenter. He liked
to work in Gladys' flower gardens when she wasn't looking, and learned to
knit squares and the cancer clinic, used them to make special blankets.
Gone, yet not forgotten, Although we are apart, Your spirit lives within
us, Forever in our hearts. Visitation was from 5 pm Wednesday at Aundeck
Omni Kaning Community Centre. Funeral Service was at 11: 00 am Friday,
March 14, 2009 at Aundeck Omni Kaning Community Centre. Reverend Faye Stevens

Collingwood historian Don
PARRISH dies
PARRISH key in implementing Harbourland project
By John EDWARDS,
Page 3
Well-known
Collingwood resident Don
PARRISH died on February 12,
at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket.
He was 77
PARRISH worked at the Collingwood Shipyards for more than 40 years
and was an avid historian.
According to Deputy Mayor Sandra
COOPER, who knew
PARRISH all
of her life, he often volunteered at the museum and was an active
member of the Harbourlands committee.
COOPER said
PARRISH was
instrumental in putting together the path of hull plates from
Huron Street to the harbour.
Former Mayor Terry
GEDDES, who gave the eulogy at
PARRISH's funeral,
said he will be sadly missed.
"When he died, not only did a piece of his family die, but so
did a piece of Collingwood,"
GEDDES said. "It's the Don
PARRISH's
that made Collingwood the community it is."
PARRISH was an avid sports fan, having played hockey for the
Stayner Royals and was regularly seen at Collingwood Blues games.
He was a fan of the Boston Bruins and Red Sox.
"You'd always see him with a Boston ball cap on," she said.
He was married to Yvonne and was a father to Stephanie, Donna
and Brenda and grandfather to Nathan, Brandon, Kayla, Becca,
Ryan and Lexi. He is predeceased by his brothers Gordon and Gary.

Heinz NIEDERHAUSER, 72: Baker And Athlete
Chocolatier became leading cross-country ski coach
By Carol COOPER,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S8
Heinz NIEDERHAUSER never seriously strapped on cross-country
skis until he was in his 30s. Once started in the sport though,
he never stopped - all the way to the Olympics. Over a span of
35 years, he tested instructors, started ski clubs, co-founded
the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors and served
as head coach of the national cross-country team.
His rigorous training programs took a no-nonsense approach. Athletes
could expect three-hour runs, their coach in the lead, and to
be left in the parking lot if ever they were late. "He was very
dedicated, and we worked extremely hard under him," said Margaret
Holden WAECHTER, who was a member of the Ontario Junior Team
in the early 1980s. "He had this love of racing and training
and health and fitness and he inspired people to be the best
they possibly could be."
Raised in Zurich, Switzerland, he grew up as one of three children
to parents who ran a chocolate factory. Young Heinz enjoyed sports
and persuaded his Friends to stay play soccer by sometimes bribing
them with bits of chocolate.
Never the keenest student, he finished secondary school and worked
for a while in the factory. In 1952, he began an apprenticeship
as a confectioner and pastry chef in Basel. Despite his father's
skepticism, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER excelled, placing first in his year.
Between compulsory stints of military training, where he trained
as an army cook, he worked in a confectionery shop in Lausanne
until being persuaded by his father to return to the family factory
as a salesman. A year later, he left after a row with his father
and immigrated to Finland in 1957.
He found a job with a candy manufacturer where he fell in love
with Ann SARKKI, a co-worker. They married in December, 1958,
and immigrated to Canada three years later. The family (including
new son Lars) settled in Toronto, where Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER worked
first at a bakery, then at the Westbury Hotel. Two more sons,
Tom and Glen, quickly followed.
For seven years, the family owned a bakery in Scarborough before
moving east to what is now Pickering, Ontario There, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER
coached soccer and became involved in fitness programs at public
schools. In the late 1960s, the family took up downhill skiing
near Barrie, Ontario, and, after meeting some Finns and Estonians
there, switched to cross-country. Before long, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER
was racing (and losing miserably) against the experienced Scandinavians.
He began training year-round and was soon beating them soundly.
In the 1970s, the sport took off, and so did Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER's
involvement. By 1975, he was the paid coach of the South Ontario
Division ski team, and moved the family to the Muskoka region,
where they lived on 32 hectares of land that soon became the
Raymond Ski School.
Mr. NIEDERHAUSER used it as a training facility for the team
and supplemented activities with year-round, week-long training
camps in provincial parks.
In 1976, he co-founded the Canadian Association of Nordic Ski
Instructors and, a year later, moved to Ottawa as technical director
and head coach of the national team. However, not everyone appreciated
his style. Grumbling followed his introduction of mandatory,
European-style, early-morning runs, and discontent ran so high
that he believed it would be better if he did not accompany the
team to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.
To his disappointment, only the women's team competed. The Canadian
Olympic Committee had deemed members of the men's team unlikely
to place in the top 16 and told them to stay home.
Mr. NIEDERHAUSER was fired along with Jack
SASSEVILLE, another
coach. While the dismissal angered Mr.
SASSEVILLE,
Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER
chose to focus on ensuring a smooth transition. "That was his
way," Mr. SASSEVILLE said. "He constantly was working towards
trying to make skiing better."
That year, too, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER's marriage ended.
In 1981, he met Blanche
DRAPEAU.
During the next decade, the
couple moved to White Lake outside Ottawa, purchased Lowney Lake
Campground and started a family. From the campground, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER
ran a bake shop and a landscaping business, while remaining involved
in skiing.
During the 1980s, he also founded and coached the Ottawa Racers
Ski Club and helped develop the city-owned Mooney's Bay facility
into one for cross-country training and racing. He coached the
Ontario Junior Team and served on the national ski team committee.
When the 1988 Calgary Olympics came around, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER
was there as chief of manual grooming of the cross-country course.
With his usual dedication, he supervised a large crew charged
with touching up the trail with rakes and shovels.
Later, Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER started the ski club that came to be
known as Lowney Lake Nordic and was eventually based out of the
campground. He also became involved with the national capital
district ski program and the Ontario Junior Team. Among his protégés
was Kate Brennan, who made her World Cup debut in last month's
races in Canmore, Alberta.
Although Mr.
NIEDERHAUSER officially retired last fall, he continued
to coach. At the beginning of January, some of his athletes were
competing near Collingwood, Ontario, and he took to the trails
between events to prepare for an upcoming World Masters Race
in Idaho in March. "It's a beautiful day for a ski," he said
as they parted. He collapsed soon afterward.
Heinz Walter
NIEDERHAUSER was born August 27, 1935, in Zurich,
Switzerland. He died January 5, 2008, in Duntroon, Ontario He
was 72. He is survived by his wife, Blanche Drapeau. He also
leaves his children, Sven, Jana, Lars, Tom and Glen.

MILLER,
Blema
(COOPER)
Wife, mother, gifted teacher, loyal friend, feisty pioneer. Born
December 14, 1910, in Montreal. Died September 16, 2007, of old
age in Toronto, aged 96.
By Jack MILLER and Mary Jane
MILLER,
Page L6
Blema COOPER was in some ways a typical child of Jewish parents
growing up in the 1920s in Montreal. In other ways, she was different.
She did well at school and played sports, but also loved to climb
through unfinished buildings with her father.
Graduating with honours from McGill University, she became the
first Jewish high-school teacher hired by Montreal's Protestant
school board. She could not study architecture, her first love
- women did not do that sort of thing in the 1920s - but discovered
that teaching was a vocation.
As a teacher Blema had many gifts, including a head for math
and a heart for kids who needed extra attention. She was firmly
convinced that anyone could do math with the right help.
When she married Abe
MILLER, she was laid off, like every other
female teacher who married. In Cornwall, Ontario, while raising
son Jack and daughter Helene, she channelled her energies into
the synagogue, volunteer work for local charities and substitute
teaching. When Abe died, she returned to Montreal to teach high
school, a widow at 53.
Blema did not suffer fools gladly. The school board tried to
retire her at 60, but she taught another year. They tried it
again. Stern letters did not deter her from teaching one more
year. Until her mid-80s, she tutored kids in math. She was still
helping her caregivers with English in her 90s.
Always up on the latest news, Blema had strong opinions on events.
She disliked cooking and had help with cleaning all her life.
She made imaginative, custom-knitted sweaters using all kinds
of wools and yarns.
Blema wanted to see both children happily married - with lots
of grandchildren. Hélène and Bob
KENIGSBERG obliged. Blema took
grand_sons Mike, Dan and Alan to the theatre, played board games
and generally spoiled them. All children, including her great-grandchildren,
delighted her.
Jack resisted her repeated suggestions that he get married. Then,
at 40, he chose Mary Jane, another
MILLER and academic but a
Presbyterian. That was fine with Blema, who became a close friend
of Mary Jane's mother, Elizabeth.
In later life, bridge, travel, newspapers and grandchildren kept
Blema busy, although it was a struggle to get her to give up
driving.
At 89, with her eyesight and hearing failing, she chose to go
into a retirement home. She had a gift for making Friends, and
her laugh was infectious. Despite her "forgettery" - her word
- she enjoyed the company, the activities and the food.
Her last three years were difficult, but she was still loving,
still stoic in her illness when family visited, and still a joy.
Jack and Mary Jane
MILLER are Blema's son and daughter-in-law.

No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts,
you're always there.

Dr.
Reverend
Agnes
GROOME was a woman of remarkable energy and
organizational skills. An accomplished educator and minister,
she was highly educated, earning seven degrees in seven decades
(B.A., B.Ed., B.Div., M.A., M.Ed., Ph.D., M.Div.). Involved in
life-long learning, she took her last course at the University
of Regina at the age of 88. Her teaching positions included Central
Collegiate (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan), Martin and Sheldon Williams
Collegiate (Regina, Saskatchewan), University of Regina, and
University of Toronto. Her church postings included mission fields
in rural Saskatchewan, Saint_James United Church (Regina), Grace
Church in Moose Jaw, St. Andrew's (Toronto), Silverthorne (Toronto),
and a short locum in Ft. Qu'appelle. A woman ahead of her time,
St. Andrew's College refused her ordination and her name was
struck from the roster of graduates because she had married and
was expecting her first child. Agnes always took a leadership
role in community organizations including the Young Women's Christian
Association, United Nations Association, University Women's Club,
Health Research Board, Saskatchewan Pension Committee, New Democratic
Party (candidate in Wascana), plus many church positions including
Sunday School Superintendent, Elder (first female in position
at Lakeview United Church). Agnes was honoured to have been appointed
by the government of Saskatchewan to the Cluff Lake Inquiry into
uranium development. As recent as two years ago, Agnes embarked
on a project to have stained glass windows honouring women in
the Bible installed in Lakeview United Church. As part of her
dedication to education in Saskatchewan, Agnes established several
scholarship funds at the University of Regina in the names of
her husband Les
GROOME, her brother-in-law Paul
GROOME, her parents
Sam and Isabelle, and plus made a generous donation to the University
of Regina establishing the Groome family fellowship in health
research. Agnes and Les were a remarkable team; through all their
studies, travels, and endeavours they loved and supported each
other. Agnes was a true matriarch in her family. She was the
driving force behind family projects; everyone was expected to
be onboard and involved. She could do anything and did -- wire
a home, build a stone fence, shingle a roof, install floors and
siding, build furniture, sew, even bake 12 pies at a time. Agnes
tackled everything with passion, including stamp collecting,
family tree research (four volumes), and land development. Foreign
travels were opportunities to study history and were fodder for
lectures. Widowed at 62, she then earned a new degree, and embarked
on a new career in a new city. Beloved by her grandchildren,
she encouraged them in all their varied interests. Later in life
she took great pleasure in building a new home (at age 80) and
planting 900 perennials on Pasqua Lake. She knew Canada well
as she moved many times: from Fleming to Brandon, Saskatoon,
Regina, Dunnville, Guelph, Clinton, Vancouver, Moose Jaw, Regina,
and Toronto. Funeral will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2008,
2 p.m., at Wesley United Church, 3913 Hillsdale Street, Regina.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 4, 6-7: 30 p.m. at
Speers Funeral Chapel 2136 College Avenue, Regina. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Sam and Bella Mills Scholarship,
University of Regina.
