'No evidence' alarms worked in burnt home
The death of another child raises to five the number who died
in the Hamilton fire.
By Canadian Press, Mon., March 3, 2008
Hamilton -- As the death toll following a devastating blaze inside
a single family west Hamilton home early Saturday climbed to
five, new information has surfaced that suggests the human tragedy
may have been averted had there been working smoke detectors
inside.
A day after the blaze that claimed the lives of a 22-year-old
mother, her three young daughters and a 19-year-old male resident,
fire investigators say they've found "no evidence" to show there
were functioning fire alarms or smoke detectors inside.
Noting this is the fourth fatal fire in Ontario this weekend
alone and that eight people have died, Pierre
YELLE of the Ontario
Fire Marshal's Office said it's time people get the hint.
"The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office urges everyone to have smoke
alarms properly installed inside their homes and ensure they
are in proper working order," he said.
"Smoke alarms are obviously very valuable because they create
an opportunity for you to escape."
YELLE said families also need to devise an escape plan so they
know what to do in the event of a fire emergency.
Investigators have identified the victims of Saturday's blaze
as 22-year-old Melissa
DENHOLLANDER and her daughters Emma
DENHOLLANDER-
HANIGAN,
4, Ella, 2, and Alana, 1.
YELLE said Ella had been evacuated and placed on life support
in hospital immediately after the blaze but later succumbed to
her injuries.
The body of a 19-year-old male, whose name is being withheld
pending notification of next of kin, was discovered in the living
room after firefighters brought the blaze under control.
DENHOLLANDER's 28-year-old boyfriend, Richard
GRIFFIN, remains
at the Hamilton General where he's recovering from burns and
smoke inhalation, while a 20-year-old female has been released
from hospital after treatment.
YELLE said investigators are still trying to determine the origin,
cause and circumstances of the blaze.

McRAE,
Mary
Frances (née
DENHOLM)
Wife, mother, artist, teacher. Born November 10, 1920, in Taipei,
Taiwan. Died January 8 in Nepean, Ontario, of organ failure,
aged 87.
During Mary's funeral service her framed portrait, standing on
a table, spontaneously fell flat with a resounding bang. Everyone
jumped, then laughed. It was a perfect statement of Mary's strong
character - she would have laughed, too.
Mary was born to medical missionary parents Doctor Kenneth and Myrtle
DENHOLM.
They moved to Parry Sound, Ontario, in 1923, where the
family grew to include two brothers and three sisters.
After high school Mary spent two years at the University of Toronto,
but with the Second World War under way, she switched to a secretarial
course and joined the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (the
Wrens). Her skills were put to service in the navy offices in
Halifax. (Her husband often joked that during the war Mary was
in much greater danger as a beautiful single woman in Halifax
than he ever was flying fighters overseas.)
At war's end Mary returned to Parry Sound and a job at Canadian
Industries
Ltd. In 1946, Bill
McRAE visited town from another
CIL office. He had seen her photograph in a company publication
and wanted to meet her. Two weeks after they met they were engaged,
and two months later they married. During their 61 years together
they moved with Bill's work from Port Arthur, Ontario, to Vancouver,
Timmins, Ontario, Montreal and Toronto, finally retiring in Nepean.
Mary didn't care much for housekeeping, so once her three children
were in school she registered at Queen's University as a correspondence
student and completed the bachelor's degree she had begun before
the war. She began teaching high school in 1963 and enjoyed teaching
for many years. Spending time with young people seemed to keep
her young at heart.
Mary was active in sewing, needlework of all kinds and painting.
Always whistling or singing, she had a way of making things fun.
She had amazing strength, of both body and spirit. Although sometimes
frustrated with her challenges - she had many operations for
lifelong foot problems and often needed crutches or canes - she
could look beyond the immediate problem toward her goal. Even
in her 70s, after two brain operations for benign tumours, she
never lost her sense of humour and good nature. She worked out
strategies for retraining her memory and helping her read novels
again.
Over the last few years of her life Mary was increasingly crippled
by arthritis and gradually withdrew from social engagements.
But she always appreciated the love and support of her family,
adored her six grandchildren and found something to laugh about
every day of her life.
Marilynn McRae
BEST is Mary's daughter.

Jon "
Ric
Chip"
I would like to take this time to say "Thank You". But a simple
"Thank You" doesn't come close to expressing the gratitude I
feel for all the support that I have received from family and
Friends. It's in difficult times like these that we realize just
how many Friends we have, and how much they really mean to us.
Throughout his life, Ric has touched so many people with, his
genuine smile, his laugh, his jokes, his stories, his generosity,
and quick impulse to help anyone or any cause that came along.
One of Ric's most important accomplishments in life was the many
Friends he acquired along the way. The respect and final farewell
that all of you gave him will never be forgotten. Just as I'm
certain that Ric will never be forgotten, because there will
always be a part of him in all our hearts. I would like to extend
a special thank you to- Dennis and Sheila

OSBORNE, a natural saleswoman
By Trina BERLO,
Page 27
Wasaga
Beach retail pioneer Edna
OSBORNE continued working until
shortly before her death last month at the age of 91.
She is the well-known matriarch of the
OSBORNE family, long-time
retailers in Wasaga Beach.
Mrs. OSBORNE died in Florida on April 15 after a two-year battle
with cancer.
Mrs. OSBORNE owned and operated a store in Hollywood Beach, Florida
until the age of 84 but continued assembling shell jewellery,
which she sold in her daughter Erna's nearby shop.
"She was a natural salesperson. Very quiet spoken and everybody
seemed to like her," said Ernie
OSBORNE of his mother.
She is the original proprietor of The Jewel Box, located in the
castle on River Road West, which is now operated by her grand_son,
also named Ernie.
Mrs. OSBORNE and her husband, Ernie, opened their first store
in Wasaga Beach in 1944.
It was the height of a new era of tourism in Wasaga Beach as
soldiers, stationed at nearby Camp Borden, discovered the burgeoning
resort town, which they visited while on leave.
"They were overwhelmed with how busy it was and how much the
stuff they sold in the city was needed here," said Ernie,
His parents first visited Wasaga Beach as children in the 1920s.
They both lived in Barrie and Ernie recounts stories he has heard
about the trip taking six hours by car because of the limited
speed of the early automobile, and road conditions which regularly
caused flat tires.
His parents met in high school, were married and went to work
their first retail jobs in Burlington.
Ernie said shortly after they borrowed money from his grandparents
- Ernie and Edith
OSBORNE - to open a store in Toronto.
They ended up operating several Toronto stores at once in the
late 1950s.
Ernie said his parents loved to dance at the dance halls of the
day - such as the Dardanella and Starlight Gardens (an outdoor
dance floor) - where they danced while they were dating.
He said his parents would get in the odd night of dancing in
the shoulder season, before their retail stores demanded long
hours.
With staff operating the Toronto locations, eventually the family
operated several 5 and 10 stores in Wasaga Beach - a type of variety
store that sold everything from house wares to souvenirs.
Ernie said the main store (built in 1945) was located in the
Main Street mall at the main beach. They also had one store at
Balm Beach and one near 22nd Street.
Ernie said he has spent every summer of his life in Wasaga Beach
but his parents took the whole family to Florida every winter.
He said it was their chance for a getaway at the beach, a chance
to relax and spend time with their children.
As a child, Ernie said he began the school year in Wasaga Beach,
transferred to Toronto, then to Florida, then back to Toronto
and transferred back to Wasaga Beach to finish out his year.
He said he spent many evenings with the family preparing merchandise
for sale.
Ernie said his parents were always working. His grandparents
helped at the store too and a number of young women were brought
in to work at the store as well. One of those young women who
came on staff in 1964 was Elaine - Ernie's wife-to-be.
Elaine said about 35 people lived in 16 rooms on the second floor
of the Main Street store. while Mr.
OSBORNE made regular trips
to Toronto to pick up merchandise, Mrs.
OSBORNE's job was to
look after the staff. She had to hire a cook to feed all the
people who worked for them.
"The staff alone that they managed was amazing," said Elaine.
"They were busy people."
"It was crazy," said Ernie.
Elaine and Ernie describe Mrs.
OSBORNE as a fiercely hard-working
woman who was tender but also strict and managerial when it came
to the daily operation of her business.
"She could give you heck for something and when she was finished
you were happy and you couldn't figure out why… one of those
kinds of people," said Ernie.
Family members travelled to Florida for the cremation but there
was no service.
Her husband Ernie
OSBORNE, 92, lives in Hollywood Beach, Florida.
Ernie and Edna had four children; Ernie
OSBORNE,
Elaine
CHILLMAN,
Erene McWILLIAM,
Erna
DENNIS, seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
