Farmer's death a cautionary tale
By Paige AARHUS, Thurs., July 24, 2008
A safety expert is warning older farmers to exercise caution after a 66-year-old man was run over and killed by a combine Tuesday night.
At about 7: 30 p.m., Carl LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH of Middlesex Centre was combining a field on Fourteen Mile Road with other area farmers.
The group packed up after it started raining, but as the combine was moving back to the barn, LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH was caught under the wheels.
"The combine was in the process of starting and moving into the barn, and the operator called out to see if anybody was close, and didn't hear any reply, and started out," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Doug Graham. "The combination of weather, noise from combine and not getting any response resulted in a death, unfortunately."
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH was transported to University Hospital in London by Middlesex London Emergency Medical Services and he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Catherine Isaacs, national co-ordinator of the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance program, said runovers are difficult to prevent.
"We have seen no decline in the number of run-overs a year," she said. "Unfortunately we see the children and elderly people killed far more frequently in the case of bystander run-overs."
According to the injury surveillance program, seniors are more likely to be involved in farm accidents because of reduced hearing and agility.
Between 1991 and 2004, 601 adults age 60 or older were killed in agricultural accidents. Of those, 74.2 per cent of the deaths were machine-related.
The leading causes of fatal agricultural injuries in older adults were machine rollovers (24.5 per cent) and machine runovers (22.3 per cent).
Isaacs said people should never walk next to or near running farm machines, even though that's common practice on many farms.
"Standard practice gets a lot of people killed… It's not good practice from a safety point of view," she said.
Farmers exposed to high levels of noise should also wear headphones or earplugs to protect their hearing and prevent accidents, Isaacs said.

SIM, Gordon Edward Royal
(October 4, 1952-March 9, 2008)
Our dear friend Gord passed away peacefully, at home, during his Sunday afternoon nap after a long, courageous and dignified fight against cancer. He was triumphant in the face of inevitable defeat for he valued Friendship above all else, and the value of his Friendships was never more unassailable than at his life's end. Kind, loving, fun, surprising, honest, dedicated, dependable, all those wonderful qualities bundled into one great person. Predeceased by his father and mother, Clarence and Dorothy SIM and nephew Richard REID. He is survived by his sister Patricia REID (Don,) nephew Rod REID (Heather) and their children Parker and Brooklyn; Uncle and Aunt, Ted and Celia GRIGG, cousins Janine LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH (Peter), Kenneth GRIGG (Sue) and Catherine FREIVOKH and their families, and his godchildren: Morgan McCONVILLE, Scott TINDLE, Willie SCOTT, Peter SEHMER, and Taylor JACKSON. Gord had an incredible circle of Friends from every spectrum of his rich life, but in particular his family would like to thank his oldest Friends for their support and care in the last year: John and Mary McCONVILLE, Blake and Dorie POTTINGER, Maud KILLAM, Cathy NOEL, Margaret ROBINSON, Robyn WOODWARD, and Peter ARMSTRONG. The support and love Gord has had from his many Friends in the class of 1970 at St. George's, colleagues from his years in federal politics, and from Friends at Rocky Mountaineer Vacations has been much appreciated. We would also like to thank Doctor John Sehmer, and the physicians and staff of the British Columbia Cancer Agency. Gord's political career began with the Young Conservatives of Canada. He graduated from University of British Columbia - Class of 1974 and worked for many years for the Hon. John Fraser, P.C., O.C., OBC, Q.C. in Ottawa and Vancouver before joining the Rocky Mountaineer Vacations as a train manager for the last 14 years. Gord served on the boards of numerous community organizations and was a life long participant in the campaigns of many civic, provincial and federal candidates. Gord looked as great decked out in his kilt for the Sir John A. MacDonald Society as he did riding with Friends at Douglas Lake. A bit of a George Hamilton, our Gord liked to tan year round either in some exotic local or on the sunny shores of Savary and Gambier Islands. He enjoyed traveling, watching the Canucks, celebrating the achievements of loved ones, and cooking dinner for Friends. He has left us with amazing memories. 'How wonderful life is when you're in the world' surely was written for our Gord. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Gord's memory to the British Columbia Cancer Foundation. A service in memory of Gord will be held at Saint Mary's Anglican Church at 2490 W. 37th in Vancouver on March 25, 2008 at 3: 00 p.m.
