HALE kept busy with electrical shop, family and golf
By Paige AARHUS,
Sun.,
July▼ 6, 2008
A gentle giant described by Friends as larger than life, longtime
London businessperson Bev
HALE died last month following a lengthy
illness.
He was 75.
An avid golfer,
HALE was a fixture at the Highland Golf and Country
Club, where he was a member for 38 years.
"You couldn't have found a better person in the world to golf
with. He was a single-digit handicap for years," said friend
Mike SILVER, the Professional Golfers' Association Canada golf
director at Highland.
"He was so steady and he didn't make very many mistakes."
HALE was a steady businessperson as well, operating family-owned
Hale Electric for 40 years after taking over from his father,
William.
Hale Electric was London's first electrical contracting service,
and many new electricians got their start with an apprenticeship
at HALE's shop.
"He was an excellent business man and incredibly honest. His
customers were very loyal," said
HALE's widow Marilyn.
Standing six feet six inches tall,
HALE earned his "Big Bev"
nickname -- proudly displayed on his vanity licence plates --
early on.
"That's how people knew him, he was Big Bev. You could always
see him coming and he could light up a room," said Marilyn.
Marilyn met her future husband in high school, and they were
married in 1954.
The lifelong Londoners found a welcoming community in the city's
south, and Marilyn said they never considered moving elsewhere.
"He loved this city and he had so many Friends here. Everybody
knew Bev," she said.
Although he was busy with the day-to-day rigours of owning and
operating a bustling business, Marilyn said her husband made
time for family, Friends and, of course, golf.
He also played drums in a local big band, the Moonlighters, practising
and performing at the golf club for years.
His stature, fun-loving personality and signature gin and orange
juice made
HALE a favourite at Highland.
But he was perhaps best known for being so well known, said
SILVER.
"Everyone knew Bev and he knew everyone. He could walk into a
room and within an hour, he would know everybody's name," he
said.
"He only made the people around him happier, he was that type
of guy. Over the years, as a pro at the golf course, you sort
of make many acquaintances and some Friends. He was a great friend
of mine."

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.
