SWERDFAGER,
J.
Douglas
Lt. Col. Royal Canadian Air Force (Retired)
Doug passed away peacefully Sunday March 23, 2008 in his 90th
year. Fondly remembered and sadly missed by nieces Jacqueline
(John) DICKSON/DIXON and Mary (Eric)
HENNIGAR, nephews John (Alice)
STERLING,
Norman (Joan)
STERLING,
John
(Janet)
ASHTON and Douglas (Brenda)
ASHTON, many grand-nieces and nephews who thought of Doug as
their favourite uncle, and longtime friend and companion John
Morris who helped him greatly in his later years. Doug was predeceased
by his parents Norman and Ada
SCHWERDFAGER, twin sister Lois
ASHTON, sister Doris
STERLING and brother Leslie
SWERDFAGER.
Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Doug will miss his genuine
interests in their lives, his amazing sense of humour and his
entertaining repartee. He relished time spent at gatherings with
family and Friends discussing politics and sharing childhood
memories. Doug was a natural teacher. Following Normal School
in Ottawa, he began his career in a one room schoolhouse near
Douglas, Ontario and finished as a Director with the Ministry
of Colleges and Universities. He was enormously proud of his
service in the Royal Canadian Air Force, much of which was served
in a teaching capacity overseas during World War 2. Cremation
has taken place. At Doug's request there will be no funeral.
Interment will take place later this year at the National Military
Cemetery, Ottawa. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation
would be appreciated. Arrangements have been entrusted to the
Trull East Toronto Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 1111 Danforth
Avenue.

BASRUR was calm face during severe acute respiratory syndrome
crisis
By Helen BRANSWELL, The Canadian Press, Tues., June 3, 2008
Toronto -- Doctor Sheela
BASRUR, a public health figure whose skilful
leadership and communications expertise helped guide Canada through
Toronto's severe acute respiratory syndrome crisis in 2003, died
yesterday after a 17-month battle with a rare form of cancer.
BASRUR, 51, had stepped down as Ontario's chief medical officer
of health in December 2006 when she learned she was suffering
from leiomyosarcoma, a diagnosis for which the prognosis was
poor.
Many of her Friends, colleagues and admirers fought back tears
as they paid tribute to a diminutive woman with a big brain,
a big heart and a quick smile.
"It was obviously at one level expected and inevitable, given
what she was dealing with. But it's too soon, too young and a
huge loss, not just to public health but far much more in the
country," Doctor David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health
officer, said from Halifax.
Born in 1956,
BASRUR was raised in a professional family.
Her father is a radiation oncologist at the Kitchener hospital
where BASRUR died. Her mother is a professor at the Ontario Veterinary
College at the University of Guelph.
Divorced, she had one child -- a daughter, Simone
KOVES, who
is now 17.
A private funeral will be held, according to family spokesperson
Sujit CHOUDRY. A public memorial to mark
BASRUR's life and professional
contribution will follow.
But some of that recognition started to flow before her death.
In April, at a ceremony
BASRUR was well enough to attend, the
provincial government announced it would name Ontario's new arms-length
public health agency the Sheela Basrur Centre.
People for whom she worked and who worked for and with her described
a woman able to quickly grasp the big picture, a leader who easily
marshalled and motivated troops, and a person whose keen sense
of humour was ever at the ready.
"She was one of those people who can take the information and
understand the implications of it and be able to convey that
to people in a way they understand," said Doctor Bonnie
HENRY, a
friend who also served as an associate medical officer of health
in Toronto.

Beloved poet, prof, playwright 'an artistic giant'
James REANEY, 1926-2008
By Katherina
DEHAAS and Patrick
MALONEY, Sun Media, Thurs., June 12,
James REANEY, a national literary icon who stayed close to his
Southwestern Ontario roots during a celebrated, 50-year career
as a playwright, poet and professor, has died.
The longtime Londoner died last night in London following a long
illness. He was 81.
"It was a peaceful end to a great life," his son, Free Press
journalist James
REANEY, said. "We know that he will be remembered
and his contributions to Canadian culture will be valued."
Born on a Stratford-area farm in 1926,
REANEY was an acclaimed
poet, playwright, author, opera librettist and University of
Western Ontario English professor.
He won three Governor-General's Awards for poetry and drama,
and a 1974 Chalmers Award for best Canadian play.
"He was so great," said Nancy
POOLE, a former Museum London director
who met REANEY at University of Western Ontario.
"He was a gentleman, an intellectual, an artistic giant in the
Canadian scene."
REANEY won his first Governor-General's Award in 1949 at age
23 for a collection of poetry, The Red Heart.
In 1960, he began teaching at University of Western Ontario and
started publishing Alphabet, a semi-annual periodical devoted
"to the iconography of the imagination."
In 1966, he founded the Listener's Workshop and began working
with child and adult actors in choral ensemble works.
REANEY,
whose play Colours in the Dark premiered in Stratford in 1967,
received the Order of Canada in 1975.
His best known dramatic work may be a trilogy of plays about
the 1880 massacre of the Donnelly family in Lucan.
He was 10 when his stepfather told him the stirring story, stoking
in REANEY an interest that would lead him to write the three
plays that not only dramatized the legend, but arguably also
brought it into focus historically.
The trilogy is among a handful of Canadian works listed among
the 1,000 most significant plays of all time by the Oxford Dictionary
of Plays.
He was also an amateur painter and pianist whose works were exhibited
in London and Toronto.
REANEY enjoyed such respect that even small details of his life
inspired artisans, says Martha
HENRY, former Grand Theatre artistic
director.
HENRY, who acted in two
REANEY plays, recalled a tour last summer
of his boyhood home.
"It was amazing," she said. "We went up into the attic where
he used to write. He's an icon. A complete original."
REANEY is survived by his wife, son and daughter, two granddaughters
and two siblings.

Sheela BASRUR, 51: Physician
At the height of the 2003 crisis that stunned Toronto and caused
the rest of the world to stay away from Canada's largest city,
she worked three weeks straight. At one point, she said it was
like 'ripping a bandage off one wound to stop the bleeding on another'
By Gloria GALLOWAY,
Page S8
Ottawa -- Toronto's hotels were half empty, people on the streets
were wearing medical facemasks, the city's Chinatowns were ghost
towns, and there was one reassuring voice pleading for calm.
Sheela BASRUR was Toronto's medical officer of health when severe
acute respiratory syndrome arrived in her city, stealing in from
Hong Kong and unleashing its deadly force on a population taken
fully by surprise.
Suddenly, the diminutive doctor was thrust onto the national
stage. The world's health community turned a concerned eye on
Toronto. Reporters from across the country were calling to demand
answers about the deadly and previously unknown threat.
Amid the chaos, she became a trusted general in the fight against
the disease.
In the beginning, Doctor
BASRUR and her team were working in a knowledge
vacuum. "What kind of control measures, what kind of investigation
might be needed? How many contacts might there be?" she once
said describing the questions that arose in the early days of
the crisis. "We had no idea that we might be facing hundreds
of contacts even in the first weekend and 23,000 by the end of it."
With the first deaths, the apprehensions of the entire city -
and, to some extent, the rest of Canada - came to rest on her
five-foot frame. It was a weight she shouldered with remarkable
competence.
Sheela BASRUR had always wanted to be a doctor.
She was born in Toronto to Vasnath
BASRUR and his wife, Parvathi,
who had arrived from India as graduate students during the 1950s.
Vasnath was an oncologist; Parvathi was a veterinary geneticist
who managed to obtain her degrees despite growing up in a poor
family of 10 children.
When the
BASRURs moved to Guelph, an hour's drive west of Toronto,
they were conscious of being what seemed to be the only visible
minority family in the community. When Parvathi
BASRUR breezed
by in her sari, people on the street would stop and stare.
The young Sheela penned poems and essays for sheer amusement.
She was also a skilled flautist and told the Toronto Star, in
one of the many profiles that paper wrote about her over the
years, that her artistic nature led her parents to believe she
would one day be a writer or a musician.
But the biological subject matter of the
BASRURs' dinner banter
led her in a different direction. After high school, she obtained
a science degree at the University of Western Ontario in London
and then headed to the University of Toronto to study medicine.
The newly graduated Doctor
BASRUR returned to Guelph, where she
practised as a family doctor for a year. But adventure called
and, in 1985, she headed on a trip around the world.
It was in Nepal, and then in her parents' homeland of India,
that she decided to pursue a career in public health. She told
a reporter that visits to hospitals and clinics in those countries
convinced her of the importance of community medicine. In one
village, she encountered a woman with tuberculosis who could
not afford the full treatment for the disease but whose husband
needed her to be well enough to return to work on the family
farm.
When she returned home, Doctor
BASRUR sought her masters degree
in health science as a specialist in community medicine. Her
first forays into public health were adventures. She was, for
instance, the chief investigator of a massive recall of shellfish
along the Eastern seaboard.
Then she returned to Toronto and first became the medical officer
of health in East York, the smallest of the city's suburbs. Starting
in 1998, she was made head of a huge department that formed when
all of the suburbs amalgamated.
In her private life, she enjoyed classic rock 'n roll, especially
The Who. She tried her best to be a vegetarian but was not always
successful. She did yoga every day before the sun came up. And
she was a needlepoint fanatic. "I just find it very therapeutic,"
she once said.
An early marriage did not last. However, out of that she gained
a daughter, Simone, who was the love of her life and her companion
through her final difficult years.
Dr. BASRUR's early days at the Toronto Board of Health were spent
supervising the merger of the various boards and handling ordinary
local issues - children's food programs, smog alerts, and the
first posting of the results of restaurant inspections.
And then, in March, 2003, came severe acute respiratory syndrome
which was eventually determined to be a disease caused by the
coronavirus. A genus of animal virus named for their crown-like
appearance under a microscope, they are among the leading causes
of the common cold. Until the onset of severe acute respiratory
syndrome, they had been known to cause severe diseases only in
animals.
However, by April 2003, several labs had uncovered evidence of
a new coronavirus that had infected at least some patients with
severe acute respiratory syndrome. By then it had struck more
than 2,600 people and killed 103 worldwide.
Suddenly, people were dying in Toronto. It was a disaster that
had to be contained.
Like many of those on the front line, Doctor
BASRUR worked three
weeks straight after the first cases were discovered. As severe
acute respiratory syndrome spread through the city, she and her
team charted its course, trying to build firewalls between the
infected and those who were sitting vulnerable in its path.
At times, just when they thought they had stemmed its spread
in one direction, the disease would pop up somewhere else through
an unanticipated line of transmission. Mass groups of students
and factory workers were quarantined. People were told they could
not go to the funerals of loved ones. Health workers were dying
along with their severe acute respiratory syndrome patients.
At one point, she described the fight against severe acute respiratory
syndrome as "ripping a bandage off one wound to stop the bleeding
on another."
Dr. BASRUR and others were also puzzled as to why 40 per cent
of severe acute respiratory syndrome patients failed to demonstrate
evidence of being infected with the new coronavirus. What's more,
other people who did carry the virus did not have severe acute
respiratory syndrome, or severe acute respiratory syndrome symptoms.
Also troubling was the fact that the coronavirus carried only
four to 10 genes and were infamous for mutating with every replication
and for swapping genes with other viruses.
All things considered, it is not surprising that misjudgments
did occur. It took nearly a week for the members of a 500-person
religious community to be sent into quarantine after being exposed
to severe acute respiratory syndrome because health officials
did not realized the contacts had been made. Asked about the
delay, Doctor
BASRUR said: "It's a fair question… hindsight is absolutely
my best friend."
There was the odd humorous moment, like the Abbott and Costello
routine she played with Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman. As the elected
head of Canada's largest city, he was experiencing his first
encounters with such organizations as the World Health Organization
(WHO) and the Centres for Disease Control near Washington.
Upset by a press conference about a travel advisory that had
been imposed because of severe acute respiratory syndrome, he
railed against the warnings that had been announced by "this
Centres for Disease Control group, whoever they are."
"WHO," whispered Doctor
BASRUR.
"Who?" he shouted.
"That's right, WHO," said the doctor trying to control her
laughter.
But, as 44 people lost their fight to the disease, there were
many frustrating and difficult weeks. And through it all, Doctor
BASRUR
- the face of calm and reason - became one of the acknowledged
heroes.
A female co-worker remembers bumping into her one day during
the crisis as she emerged from a washroom. The co-worker told
Dr. BASRUR that she looked wonderful and the doctor responded
by saying she felt tired.
"And I said, 'Sheela, you're great. The whole city loves you
and is counting on you. And this morning on the radio I heard
the host of the morning show say that he knew it was okay to
go out because the little doctor with the glasses said it was.'"
Dr. BASRUR laughed and hugged the woman in delight and went off
to try save more lives.
Several years later, the co-worker e-mailed Doctor
BASRUR and asked
if she remembered the incident. "And she said 'yes, but I believe
he said the cute little famous doctor with the glasses."
Those who worked with her during that time say it was a huge
privilege to be part of her team. Bonnie
HENRY, who was Toronto's
associate medical officer of health, said Doctor
BASRUR's great
strength was her ability to communicate.
Months after the crisis, the two doctors were walking through
an airport together "and people would come up to her in the airport
and say 'I feel like I know you,' said Doctor
HENRY. "
She was
always very gracious. She was really touched by the fact that
people responded to the way that she was able to communicate
things."
Dr. BASRUR's tireless efforts during severe acute respiratory
syndrome made her the first choice of the Ontario government
when it went looking for a new Chief Medical Officer of Health
in January, 2004. Her mandate was to revamp the way health programs
were delivered in the province and to do whatever possible to
prevent another severe acute respiratory syndrome. She took on
such big jobs as instituting a rigorous anti-smoking policy and
a provincewide healthy-eating program.
Then, in November, 2006, a pain in her lower back that she had
been feeling for some time became excruciating. It was caused
by a tumour on her spinal cord.
Concerned that she could become a paraplegic, her surgeons removed
it immediately. But the prognosis was still not good. She had
hemangiopericytoma, a rare vascular cancer that started in her
uterus and spread throughout her body.
All at once, the doctor had become a patient. Even so, the disease
did not incapacitate her. A week after stepping down from the
job of Ontario's top doctor, she returned to the provincial parliament
to see the introduction of legislation establishing a new public-health
agency - an agency she helped create and one that has been named
after her.
The months after the diagnosis were like a gift wrapped in barbed
wire, she said. "It's like being given the most beautiful bouquet
of roses you can imagine being placed in your arms and thinking
'whoa, they've got thorns on them.' "
Dr. BASRUR said she preferred to focus on the "rose petals,"
like the fact that, after a lifetime of hard work, she had been
able to devote time to her daughter, now 17.
In April, she was awarded the Order of Ontario in her hospital
bed by Lieutenant-Governor David
ONLEY.
The next day, she rallied
and attended a fête organized in her honour by the Registered
Nurses' Association of Ontario.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty told the crowd they must not
been fooled by her size. "She's tough when she needs to be -
a regular Mighty Mouse."
Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman said later that he
could not agree more. During severe acute respiratory syndrome,
"she was the one that lifted us on her shoulders, even though
she wasn't that tall. For a little person, she proved to be awfully
mighty."
In difficult times, he said, it's particularly important that
clinicians communicate in a way that is accurate, concise and
understandable. "Not everyone has that gift."
In the end, Friends say Doctor
BASRUR was accepting of the fact
that she would die at 51. "If I can help more people have a great
life," she once said, "then I'll have a great life."
Sheela BASRUR was born in Toronto on October, 17, 1956. She died
June 2, 2008, of hemangiopericytoma, a rare vascular cancer,
at Grand River Regional Cancer Centre in Kitchener, Ontario She
is survived by her daughter, Simone
KOVES, and by her parents,
Vasnath and Parvathi
BASRUR.

(August 29, 1930-July 17, 2008)
Michael Blair
HENRY passed away suddenly at home in Guelph, the
morning of Thursday July 17, 2008. In his 78th year, Michael
leaves Joy
(WILLIS) his adoring, precious soul mate and wife
of 52 years. He was a very loving and devoted father of Christopher,
Peter and Blair (wife Judith). As a proud grandfather he encouraged
Robin and Willis to be the best. Michael will be fondly remembered
for his unwavering support of Friends and family. Predeceased
by his brother Paul, Michael leaves family in Toronto and area,
Markdale, Chilliwack British Columbia, and Saint_John's, Newfoundland.
Born in Toronto to parents Isabel and Ted
HENRY,
Michael▲ and
Paul attended private schools throughout Canada, as sons of an
Air Force officer. Settling in Toronto, Michael met, pursued
and married Joy
WILLIS on March 10, 1956. Michael began a career
in financial services as a trader on the floor of the Toronto
Stock Exchange. Transferred to Guelph in 1963 to build an investment
business, Mike and Joy and the three boys moved into the house
they built, and still call home today. His activities included
coaching championship novice hockey teams, summers in Muskoka
and ski trips with the family, while being a role model for many.
In 1976 Michael left the investment business and accepted the
position of General Manager of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce
in order to promote the growth of industry and economic well-being
of the community, to which he had become so devoted. In 21 years
of meritorious service Michael received commendations from the
City of Guelph, Ontario, and Canadian Chambers of Commerce and
in 1992, he was conferred a Governor General's Medal for the
125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada in recognition
for significant contribution to "compatriots, community and to
Canada."
As a long time member of Kiwanis and a dedicated Rotarian, Michael
directed his energies to the enrichment of his community, Friends
and family. He was a regular volunteer with the Guelph General
Hospital and Meals on Wheels, where he was often late because
he took the time to visit with the people-in-need, who became
Friends.
Michael and his comic wit will be missed by his many close Friends,
who have all been a wonderful support network for Joy and himself.
On behalf of the family, thank you all for your kindness and
your heartfelt support.

Innocent shooting victim 'worked hard'
By Michele
HENRY and Betsy
POWELL,
Crime
Reporters with files
by Joanna SMITH,
Donovan
VINCENT and Tonda
MacCHARLES.
Tomorrow would have been his last day on the job.
Hou Chang MAO, the city's second innocent victim of gun violence
in a week, was days away from ending his tenure in the fruit
and vegetable department of Fu Yao Supermarket when he was killed
by a stray bullet Thursday night.
MAO was stacking oranges on
a display outside the Gerrard St. E. store when he was caught
in the crossfire of a gun battle waged by two warring groups.
Described as honest, the kind of man who would pick only the
nicest fruit for his customers,
MAO 47, had worked at the small
but busy market in the heart of Chinatown east for about two
years -- ever since immigrating to Canada from Fuqing, a small
coastal town in China.
He quit earlier this week, a family friend said yesterday. The
father of two had agreed to stay until tomorrow due to his boss's
pleadings.
MAO quit because he didn't like working outside in the cold,
said the friend, who stopped by the family's home last night
and did not want to be named. "He was a very good person. He
worked hard and was kind to everyone. It's unbelievable "
Late yesterday evening, just feet from where
MAO was struck,
his younger brother met with local members of the Fuqing community
to discuss funeral arrangements.
Hou Tan MAO talked privately with about 10 others, in an inner
room at Fu Yao. He was appealing to people from his hometown
on behalf of
MAO's children, Zuo Xi, 22, and
Yun
Yam, 18, who
both immigrated to Canada in the past two years and lived with
their father in a house that sources said the father recently
purchased. Friends said
MAO's wife lives in China.
"They are really devastated," Jack
LI, president of the Fuqing
Association of Canada, said of the siblings while at Fu Yao last
night for the discussion. "It's a really, really big surprise
to us. It's a shock."
LI said he will post a plea in Chinese newspapers calling for
help for the family of Toronto's third homicide victim of 2008.
A bouquet of flowers tied to a pole outside the store, and bullet
holes in cars and on buildings on the north and south sides of
Gerrard, are reminders of the shooting.
People ducked for cover as the bullets flew, but
MAO was struck
in the torso. He staggered toward the brightly lit entrance of
the store where he worked and collapsed. He died later in Saint Michael's
Hospital.
While no weapons have been recovered, police said they found
two types of bullet casings at the scene of the shooting, which
began amid the dinnertime rush of shoppers, around 6 p.m. Officers
are searching for two male witnesses: seen leaving the scene shortly
after the gun battle in a silver car with a shiny round grille.
Homicide
Det.
Pauline
GRAY/GREY said police have more than 100 hours
of surveillance tape to go through and appealed for witnesses:
especially the two men, who are not considered suspects --
to come forward.
It's the second such murder in Toronto in less than a week. John
O'KEEFE, 42, a father of one, was shot last weekend as he walked
past the Brass Rail tavern on Yonge Street, just south of Bloor
St. Two men have been charged with first-degree murder.
Even though last month Brian
RAYBOULD, head of Toronto's homicide
squad, suggested the chances of being a homicide victim are minute
if you're not engaged in a criminal lifestyle, politicians yesterday
called for a handgun ban.
Mayor David Miller toured the area yesterday morning and said
he plans to ask Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador to the U.S.,
for his assistance and will meet Monday with Ontario's new Attorney
General, Chris Bentley.
"One of the items on the agenda will be handguns and how we can
work together -- the province and the city of Toronto -- to deal
with this issue," Miller said yesterday. Miller and Premier Dalton
McGuinty want Ottawa to ban handguns.
The federal Tories say that won't address the "real problem."
"Handguns are already extremely tightly controlled," Public Safety
Minister Stockwell Day said in a written statement.
Irrespective of calls for a ban, Insp. Peter
YUEN of 55 Division,
which includes the Gerrard strip, said the area is peaceful,
not "crime-ridden," and still a safe place to shop, live and
work. "This is a very rare occurrence," he said.
