SMITH,
Richard
E. "
Rick"
Passed suddenly Friday, January 25th at the age of 56 sitting
on his brand new snow machine in the bush in northern Ontario.
This was a fitting end for a man who was dedicated to his family,
Friends, the outdoors and his love of life. Raised on a farm
in Azilda, Rick developed uncanny instincts about animals, nature
and the land. An avid hunter, fisherman, sportsman and accomplished
equestrian, he left behind a huge legacy. Rick and his wife Cathy
INCH, own Foothills Farm, a full service equestrian facility
in Northern Ontario. Although Rick remained planted in the valley,
his desire to grow intellectually drove him to develop a variety
of skills. A fully accredited course designer, Rick's knowledge
of horses and innate sense of construction led him into a very
successful career that enabled him to travel with Cathy and his
daughter Natalie to showjumping venues across North America.
Never one to sit still, other hobbies included skiing, hockey
and canoeing. Whether Rick was travelling in the elite world
of showjumping or out in the back 40, he was renowned for his
quick wit and sense of timing. Rick's genuine interest in people
and incredible loyalty to his Friends and family endeared him
to all. These special traits are reflected in his son and sidekick
Jedd. The loss of Rick will leave a huge void in everyone who
had the privilege of knowing him. He was larger than life. Beloved
husband of Cathy
INCH.
Loving father of Natalie Rebecca
SMITH
(Jeff LAWRENCE) and Jedd Robert William
SMITH. Cherished son
of Beryl (Hill)

On January 19th, 2008 The Great Circle closed. Once again, he
sits on the Hill in Western Bay, Newfoundland. where it all began
in 1911. Surrounded by nature's wonders, rugged beauty, and history,
he looks out to sea, now knowing Life's Mystery. With an excellent
mind framed by outstanding memory, he saw through 'fog' to find
essence. He married UofT Meds '39 classmate Barbara
WATTS (1996)
and together they raised four children: Vicki (2002), Donna,
Ron, and Bob. As they grew, as Friends came, and as the family
expanded to include spouses and grandchildren, he instilled meaning
through discovery, honouring learning. He encouraged everyone
to make the most of their lives to the best of their individual
abilities. In art, gardening (especially roses), writing, music,
and all he did, he pursued knowledge and expression. Patients,
contemporaries, and Friends respected him. His strong spirit
carried him through a torpedoing on D-Day and the horrors of
war. He was appalled by but recognized the roots of mankind's
inhumanity. He cherished Nature and was abhorred by its destruction.
Humble beginnings with seven siblings and deep family bonds taught
him to focus on what mattered; he lived unfettered by our materialistic
culture, and he knew how to improvise and be independent. People
and living were understood through basic principles. In his last
chapter, he felt fortunate to have shared a special companionship
with Margaret
YOUNG. He was very proud of everyone in his extended
family and all of their accomplishments. When skies were darkest,
he would say to watch for the breaking sunshine. So, with what
he stood for, he touches all he knew. Cremation has taken place.
A future family gathering will celebrate his life.

Robbery possible motive in florist's death
Neighbourhood shaken after body of mother of three discovered
bound and gagged in North York store
By James BRADSHAW,
Page
A17
A tight-knit North York neighbourhood is reeling after a local
florist and mother of three died Thursday night during what police
are calling an apparent robbery in which she was bound to a chair,
gagged and left helpless in the washroom at the back of her store.
Felicia HOSANY's husband, Rafick, found her shortly after 9 p.m.
Thursday in Flowers By Felicia on Wilson Heights Boulevard at
Sheppard
Avenue.
Mr.
HOSANY called police, who later confirmed
that money was missing from the store, suggesting robbery as
the motive. An autopsy revealed Ms.
HOSANY died of suffocation
with ligature restraints.
In a poignant tribute, several people stopped yesterday to place
flowers in front of the store. Friends and customers described
Ms. HOSANY, 51, as a kind and generous person who was more concerned
with her neighbourhood relationships than running a prosperous
flower shop.
One area resident, who asked to be identified as only Dave, said
he and his wife bought their wedding invitations from Ms.
HOSANY
11 years ago, and his mother is a friend who buys weekly flower
arrangements to leave at her late husband's grave.
"She wasn't about business," he said. "She charged my mum $3,
and my mum would give her a $2 tip and she wouldn't take the
tip. She just wanted to know how the family was doing, how my
mum was doing; she was just there for company. Business was secondary
to the neighbourhood."
Susan SHMUEL, who owns a pet daycare and grooming centre a few
doors away, said Ms.
HOSANY came to her store on Thursday to
buy a collar for her dog, a pit bull that was in the store with
Ms. HOSANY the night of the robbery.
"It's just awful, she would come in to just say hi," Ms.
SHMUEL
said. "Everybody knew her to be a friendly, nice person. She
was always smiling, she was always happy."
Kim PERRY has been working at the nearby Times Square Diner for
eight years, where Ms.
HOSANY often stopped in for meals. Ms.
PERRY
said they were on a first-name basis and that she was devastated
by the news of her death, having just heard that Ms.
HOSANY was
expecting to become a grandmother any day.
Most residents and business owners describe the area as safe
and quiet, a sentiment that added to their horror upon hearing
the disturbing details of Ms.
HOSANY's death.
"We haven't had any issues, any problems -- it's so quiet," said
Josie MARQUES, a customer of Ms.
HOSANY since she moved to the
neighbourhood nine years ago. "It's a small little area, everybody
sort of knows everybody."
But others said they have noticed the local character changing
recently.
"It is a pretty safe, quiet neighbourhood, but the last year
there's been a lot of drug activity," Dave said, pointing out
several "hot spots" he says are dens of vice.
Another resident, Kimberly
CLISH, said she has seen evidence
of an increasing drug problem, and her brother discovered a used
syringe in the parking lot of the Country Style coffee shop across
the street a few days ago.
Police are asking anyone who might have information about the
crime to get in touch with them.

Commemorating the tragedy that history forgot
The water was calm when officers set out for a Lake Simcoe patrol
on June 7, 1958. But a hellish storm swept through that night,
taking five lives in the worst single-incident death toll in
Royal Canadian Mounted Police history
By Barry WARD,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page A12
It was the largest single-incident loss of life in the 135-year
history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which stretches
from the skirmishes of the Northwest Rebellion to the slaying
of four officers near Mayerthorpe, Alberta.
But history has largely forgotten five officers who drowned 50 years
ago this weekend on a stormy Lake Simcoe night in what should
have been a routine patrol of the "dry" Georgina Island Indian
Reserve. As with recent Royal Canadian Mounted Police tragedies,
the officers were young - four had less than two years of service
- and the ensuing controversy reached Parliament Hill. The incident
led to changes in Canada's boating regulations.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will take a step toward rectifying
the oversight with a ceremony at the Newmarket detachment tomorrow.
Family members of the dead Mounties are expected to attend, along
with the last living member from that ill-fated patrol on June 7,
The deaths still haunt Murray
SMITH, 69, now retired and living
in Victoria Harbour, Ontario In a last-minute decision, Mr.
SMITH
gave up his seat in the boat to another officer.
"I think about it an awful lot," Mr.
SMITH said. "I've had a
lot of close calls but never that close. It makes cold chills
go up your back."
Two weeks after graduating from training, Mr.
SMITH was part
of a team patrolling the lake in a 14-foot, cedar-strip boat
with a 35-horsepower outboard motor. The officers made several
arrests for liquor infractions. After supper, the Mounties decided
to make one more run from Paradise Beach, west of Jackson's Point.
"I was in the boat, the motor was started and, for some reason,
a member came down to the dock and walked right up to the boat
and said, 'Smitty, you've been in the boat all afternoon, how
about letting me go?' Well, it didn't matter to me, so I got
out and he got in and I pushed the boat off and went back up
and sat in the police car all night."
That was about 10: 30 p.m., and the lake was calm. After midnight,
"a hell of a storm" swept through the area. Mr.
SMITH and another
Mountie, Ron
McDONALD, began to worry. "We kept saying, 'They'd
be on land by now, they should be okay.' But we couldn't understand
why they didn't call us on the radio."
Mr. SMITH and Mr.
McDONALD went to a nearby marina for help.
A search party headed out at first light, quickly finding the
boat, submerged except for its bow, running lights still on.
They also discovered the body of Corporal Herbert
SMART, 33,
of Toronto, the officer in charge. It was apparent he had been
trying to get into a life jacket.
Constables Glen
FAROUGH, 22, of Stockton, Manitoba, Maurice
MELNYCHUK,
21, of Prince George, British Columbia, David
PERRY, 19, of North
Burnaby,
British
Columbia and George
RANSOM, 21, of Melville,
Saskatchewan., were missing. All were good swimmers, but little
hope was given for their survival. None was wearing a life jacket
and the water temperature was determined to be 11 degrees on
the surface and much colder a few feet down.
After the accident, justice minister Davie
FULTON defended the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the House of Commons, saying
all rules were followed, the boat had the necessary equipment
and was not overloaded. However, a few days later it was brought
to his attention that the maximum load for 14-foot boats was
740 pounds, and the five officers weighed a total of 860 pounds.
Within two weeks, before the lake had given up another body (all
eventually were found), an inquest was under way at the town
hall in Pefferlaw, Ontario, newly painted for the occasion. It
included a re-enactment of the patrol with five similar-sized
men in the recovered boat. When the men jumped into the water,
none of them could use the standard life jackets and cushions.
The five-member jury concluded that the boat was likely swamped
by 1.4-metre waves, perhaps when one of the fuel tanks ran dry.
The jury also found the boat was overcrowded and overloaded,
the standard life jackets and cushions were unsatisfactory in
emergencies and the metal plaque listing the boat's capacity
at 950 pounds was ambiguous.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials testified they believed
the weight to exclude the boat's motor, which weighed 129 pounds.
Officials from the government, boat manufacturers and boating
groups said the motor was included, although they agreed the
wording was subject to different interpretations. The five Royal
Canadian Mounted Police officers also had about 100 pounds of
equipment on board.
By the last day of June, Mr.
FULTON had told the Commons he would
implement the jury's recommendations, including new rules to
clarify capacity. On July 1, the Transport Department announced
new wording for load-warning plaques, making it clear the specified
weight limit included everything in the boat, including motor,
gear and people.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced it would set up a
board to examine the risks of water patrols. A week later, the
last body, that of Constable
RANSOM, washed up on shore.
A memorial service was held on Georgina Island that September.
The incident then disappeared into history. Corporal Marc LaPorte,
an Royal Canadian Mounted Police media relations officer, said
the initiative to mark the 50th anniversary came from the force
retirees association.
"Why it took 50 years, I'm not sure," Cpl. LaPorte said. "Most
people are unaware of it."
The event will begin at 11 a.m., when a plaque will be unveiled.
Mr. SMITH will be there, reading Psalm 46, which refers to troubled
water. He is glad the deaths are finally receiving some recognition.
"We lost four members in Mayerthorpe, Alberta., and the media
picked up that that was the worst tragedy that had ever happened,"
Mr. SMITH said.
"Although the four members were shot, I can't think of a more
tragic death than drowning in ice-cold water in the middle of
the night."
Mr. SMITH spent 32 years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
retiring as a staff sergeant from the Hamilton detachment. He
has a son and daughter who are police officers.
In a final twist, Mr.
SMITH ended up being posted to Orillia
to replace one of the dead officers, where one of his duties
was patrolling Lake Simcoe. "I used that boat for the next two
years," he said.

Activist librarian made a difference in publishing, literature
and the arts
'Feminist and peacenik' challenged the status quo, launched the
journal Emergency Librarian and helped stabilize Canada's magazine
industry. 'Her principles were so much a part of her life'
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page
S12
'The times they are a-changin,' Bob Dylan sang in 1964 in a song
that captured the upsurge of political and social upheaval as
a generation of mostly privileged boomers came of age, questioning
all manner of establishment authority. Protests against poverty,
racism and the Vietnam War grabbed the headlines, but second-wave
feminism was also in full throttle in the United States. Betty
Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, which argued that housework
and childrearing were not the only ways to be fulfilled as a
woman, had kick-started the movement after its publication in
1963. In Canada, Doris Anderson (obituary March 3, 2007), who
had become editor of Chatelaine in 1956, was offering her readers
thoughtful and provocative articles about all sorts of taboo
topics, such as abortion and contraception, and was urging women
to take off their aprons and run for public office.
Fast forward almost a decade to Winnipeg. Early in 1973, Harry
Easton, the city's chief librarian and president of the Canadian
Library
Association, asked two young librarians, Phyllis
YAFFE
and Barbara
CLUBB, to organize the theme day at the annual Canadian
Library Association conference, which was to be held that June
in Sackville, New Brunswick They took on the unpaid task, but
they gave their own feminist twist to the theme, "Librarians:
beginning, middle and end of career." Specifically, they focused
on female librarians and why it was that men held virtually all
of the executive positions in a profession in which women occupied
the vast majority of jobs.
Needing a speaker, they phoned broadcaster Barbara Frum at the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, who declined; then Doris Anderson,
who also demurred, but who recommended Sherrill
CHEDA, an ardent
feminist and the chief librarian at Seneca College in Toronto.
That is how Ms.
CHEDA came to deliver a keynote address entitled
That Special Little Mechanism, referring to the appendage that
men carry between their legs.
Delivered by a tiny powerhouse of a woman slightly over five
feet tall, who was barely visible above a massive podium that
tended to skitter across the stage, the speech was a knock out.
Studded with anecdotes and statistics, it not only articulated
the reality that many female librarians lived, but it acquired
a legitimacy because of the forum in which it was delivered -
the profession's annual conference.
"It was shocking," Ms.
YAFFE, now vice-chairwoman of the board
of Ryerson University and former Chief Executive Officer of Alliance
Atlantis, said in a telephone interview. "Nobody asked questions
like that." Afterwards, the triumvirate of Ms.
CHEDA,
Ms.
YAFFE
and Ms. CLUBB (now the chief librarian of the City of Ottawa)
sat on the lawn and plotted their next move: The launch of the
oddly titled journal Emergency Librarian, a compendium of book
reviews, news, and information infused with feminist voices from
the alternative press and radical librarians.
Ms. CHEDA and Ms.
YAFFE (who moved to Toronto in September, 1973 and
was hired by Ms.
CHEDA as a reference librarian at Seneca College)
organized the editorial in meetings after work at Ms.
CHEDA's
kitchen table while Ms.
CLUBB maintained the subscription lists
in Winnipeg. "Getting information to people was so empowering.
We had a social purpose," said Ms.
YAFFE who became lifelong
Friends with Ms.
CHEDA. "
She▲ was loyal and caring and inspiring
because her principles were so much a part of her life. She was
a feminist and a peacenik and absolutely against prejudice of
any kind."
Sherrill SCHNEIDER was born in the mid-1930s in Osgood, Indiana,
a small town in the American Midwest between Indianapolis and
Cincinnati.
Her father, Abraham (Abe)
SCHNEIDER, was a Russian
Jew from Kiev who had walked across Ukraine to Hamburg with his
mother and two siblings to escape the pogroms following the Russian
revolution. His ultimate destination was Indiana, where his father
had settled. That's where Abe
SCHNEIDER met and married Myrtle
STOUT, the descendant of early Protestant settlers on the eastern
coast of the United States. Sherrill was the eldest of their
four children.
Over the years Abe
SCHNEIDER ran both a shoe and a dry-goods
store before going into the scrap-metal business with his father,
a business that continues to thrive. Sherrill, who was the valedictorian
of her high school, was the first person in her family to go
to university. She went briefly to Hanover College, a small private
Presbyterian College, in 1954, and then entered the University
of Indiana in Bloomington the following September.
Her plan was to become an academic, but the male head of the
English department discouraged her dreams by saying dismissively
that studying for a doctorate would be a waste of time because
she was probably going to get married and have babies. She fulfilled
that prediction by marrying a fellow student named Noël
PERRY
in June, 1958, just after she graduated with a bachelor's degree.
While he completed his undergraduate degree she entered the master's
program in library science - which, along with teaching and nursing,
was then an acceptable occupation for ambitious women. By September,
1959, three months and three courses short of acquiring her library
degree, she had moved to San Francisco where her husband had
found a job with Social Security, and had produced her first
son, Marc (named after the artist Marc Chagall).
The family moved to Baltimore in 1962, where their second son,
Andrew, was born that May. Four months later, Ms.
CHEDA began
working in the history and social-sciences department of the
Enoch Pratt Free Library. She earned $4,000 a year and was advised
that if she wanted to succeed she should wear pearls and white
gloves to work and use Jacqueline Kennedy as a role model. A year
later the library gave her a leave of absence to complete her
MLS at Indiana University. Thereafter, she and her family
moved back to San Francisco where she worked as a librarian at
San Francisco State College. Along with her husband, she became
involved with the growing resistance to the Vietnam War.
The Perrys' marriage fell apart in 1966 in San Francisco during
the era of love and peace. She subsequently moved across the
border to Vancouver with her children and her new partner, Michael
CHEDA, a draft dodger. She worked in the libraries of the University
of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. They married
in 1969, about the time he moved to Toronto to take a job with
CFTO television in Markham. She followed with her children
several months later and began working at the library of the
Indian and Eskimo Association, and then as chief librarian at
Seneca
College.
Her marriage to Mr.
CHEDA broke up in about 1975.
Having grown totally frustrated by the lack of professional opportunities
and the inequitable share of household responsibilities that
she shouldered, Ms.
CHEDA became a member of the New Feminists,
a group that had split from the Toronto Women's Liberation Movement
in April, 1969, over ideological differences. Although she had
enthusiastically embraced feminism and the concept of women supporting
and loving other women, she did draw some lines. Arriving at
a feminist consciousness-raising session in a church basement,
Ms. CHEDA was given a mirror and invited to get better acquainted
with her vagina. "Give me a break," Ms.
CHEDA whispered to her
friend Shelagh Wilkinson, who had also declined the mirror on
the grounds that, as a trained nurse and midwife, she had seen
more then enough vaginas.
Nobody seems to remember exactly how Ms.
CHEDA met Ms. Anderson
at Chatelaine, but they probably connected in 1972 when Ms.
CHEDA
began trying to express her feminist ideas in print. They had
many common interests, not least of which was the challenge of
trying to raise independent sons in a patriarchal society.
Nine months after her Sackville speech, Ms.
CHEDA dropped her
second feminist shoe when she published the article How to Raise
Liberated Children in Chatelaine in March, 1974. Described as
a practical parent's guide, the article itemized how her sons
were expected to make their own lunches, get themselves around
town, make dinner once a week and do laundry and other household
tasks. There was an outraged response from many readers, but
Ms. CHEDA and Ms. Anderson were not deterred. Another article,
On The Way to Liberation: One housewife-mother-librarian's personal
and painful journey from martyr mom to liberated person, appeared
six months later. About this time, Ms.
CHEDA became the expert
fielding questions from readers in a monthly advice column, Ask
A Feminist.
As for her own kids, they grew up in a household that embraced
peace activists, feminists and gay couples. Her son Marc, now
a research administrator in the faculty of medicine at the University
of Toronto, says that he didn't really have much choice about
doing his share of the housework (unlike his Friends, whose mothers
made their beds and prepared their lunches), but he had a lot
of freedom. His mother was always willing to talk to him "about
major things going on in her life, like the life-changing thing
that happened after my stepfather moved out. We had a real heart-to-heart,
so it wasn't like I never had input," he said. "We were consulted,
and we were consulted at a very early age."
Contributing to a magazine such as Chatelaine is a lot easier
than running one, especially a start-up operation like Emergency
Librarian.
Because
Ms.
CHEDA knew nothing about the mechanics
of publishing magazines, she joined an organization called the
Canadian Periodical Publishers Association in the mid-1970s and
was soon elected to its board of directors. Eventually, probably
in 1979 or 1980, she was asked to take on the job of executive
director of the floundering, nearly bankrupt group. Even though
it meant working for a lower salary and giving up the pension
and other benefits she had at Seneca, Ms.
CHEDA accepted the
challenge.
As an arts administrator she applied the organizational, research
and management skills she had learned as a librarian. She travelled
across the country by train and bus, sleeping on sofas in the
homes of Canadian Periodical Publishers Association members to
rally enthusiasm for the floundering organization. Within a year
she had turned it around; then she began developing a distribution
system that actually helped Canadian magazines reach their subscribers
and improve their business prospects.
In the mid-1970s, Ms.
CHEDA met lawyer Karl
JAFFARY, a former
alderman for the old city of Toronto. Also interested in the
arts and involved with the Canadian Periodical Publishers Association,
Mr. JAFFARY acted for her when she sued the now defunct Weekend
magazine on December 17, 1977, for "outing" her as a lesbian
in an article called Gay in the Seventies. She won a libel settlement
of $5,000 which Mr.
JAFFARY advised her to use as a down payment
on a rental house in the east end of the city. Over the years
they became close Friends. He was drawn to her for "the things
that everybody liked about her - she would not take shit from
anybody." He admired her independent spirit and her intellect
and shared her passions for books, the arts - especially little
theatre companies - and organizations dedicated to promoting
social justice. They married on May 30, 1987, a union that by
all accounts was extremely happy.
By then Ms.
CHEDA had left the Canadian Periodical Publishers
Association, worked for four years as registrar at the Ontario
Arts Council and had shifted, in 1986, to the Culture and Communications
Branch of the Ontario government. "With her dynamism, drive and
creativity, she put together the Ontario Publishing Centre in
the fall of 1991 to help the book and magazine publishing industry
in a very bad economic time," said cultural bureaucrat Jim Polk,
who was hired to work under Ms.
CHEDA on the book side. "Sherrill
was very wily and inventive in working with the structure and
very demanding of her staff, but in a good way," he said. Before
a change of government and the dismantling of the centre in 1995,
it gave out nearly $15-million in support money to help book
and magazine publishers computerize and modernize their supply
and marketing systems. "She intended to make a difference in
literature and the arts, and she did," said Mr. Polk.
After a few miserable years in the mid- to late 1990s, dismantling
many of the programs she had helped create, Ms.
CHEDA took early
retirement from the Ontario government. For the last several
years she and Mr.
JAFFARY travelled, went to the theatre, read
books and relished Ms.
CHEDA's talents as a gourmet cook. In
November, 2004, Ms.
CHEDA suffered a stroke which immobilized
her left side. She responded well to treatment, although she
was left with a slight limp. Besides being an informal reference
source for Friends and families about essential books, restaurants,
plays and trips, she was one of four guest editors, along with
Sally Armstrong, Michele Landsberg and Shelagh Wilkinson, of
a special volume of Canadian Woman Studies entitled Celebrating
Doris Anderson, which was published in December 2007.
Late last month, Ms.
CHEDA developed persistent flu-like symptoms.
A blood test led to a diagnosis of acute adult leukemia. The
next day she suffered a terminal stroke, which gave her family
its second terrible shock in as many days.
Sherrill CHEDA was born in Osgood, Indiana, on February 15, 1936.
She died at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto of complications
from acute leukemia early on the morning of June 7, 2008. She
was 72. Ms.
CHEDA leaves her husband, Karl
JAFFARY, and her sons
Marc and Andrew. She also leaves her grandchildren Kate, Isabella,
Desiree and Michael, her father Abe
SCHNEIDER, her three siblings
and her extended family.
