Millwoods United Church led the congregation to commence construction
of the first new Edmonton United Church in fifteen years. In
1988, as a political activist for investors, she lobbied the

Doug MAHER: 87
Playmaker Scored Decisive 1948 Goal
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Page S8
Victoria -- Doug
MAHER, a stay-at-home defenceman who scored
a dramatic goal to win a championship for his Dallas hockey club
in 1948, has died. He was 87.
Mr. MAHER played 10 seasons of minor-league hockey in the United
States. A slight player, especially for a defenceman, at 5-foot-6,
148 pounds, he showed greater skill as a playmaker than a sniper.
He never scored more than 10 goals in a season.
On April 16, 1948, Mr.
MAHER was patrolling the blueline for
the Houston Huskies in the final game of a tied series for the
U.S. Hockey League title. With the score tied at 3-3, Mr.
MAHER
took a pass from teammate Ducky Skinner before shovelling the
puck past the Minneapolis Millers goaltender. The series-winning
goal was scored with just 28 seconds left in regulation time.
The marker gave Houston the Paul W. Loudon Trophy as league champions.
Mr. MAHER's heroics also gave Toe Blake his first title as a
coach, as the Montreal Canadiens great had taken over bench duties
just weeks earlier after suffering a broken ankle as a player.
Mr. MAHER also skated for the Hershey Bears, the Seattle Ironmen,
the Dallas Texans, the Fort Worth Rangers and the Philadelphia
Falcons. He ended his career with the Hamilton Tigers, an Ontario
senior-A team.
After retiring from hockey, he worked for 35 years at the steel
producer Dofasco in Hamilton, Ontario
George Douglas
MAHER was born on November 6, 1920, at Montreal.
He died on June 25 at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington,
Ontario He leaves Anita, his wife of 63 years, a daughter, two
grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and two sisters. He was
predeceased by three brothers.

Risky intersection claims three Carleton Friends
Police trying to figure out what happened in crash that also
injured two other students, one critically
By Gloria GALLOWAY with a report from staff at The Charlatan,
the newspaper at Carleton University, Page A9
Ottawa -- Brianne
DESCHAMPS and Vanessa
CRAWFORD joked about
how close they were by listing themselves as "married" on their
Facebook profiles.
The two bubbly and intelligent girls from Southwestern Ontario
had a lot in common.
They lived in small towns, went to the same country high school,
and headed off to Carleton University in Ottawa to experience
the heady freedom of undergraduate life.
The final chapter of their tight-knit relationship was written
early yesterday when they died, along with their friend Mark
MacDONALD, in a crash that left his sport utility vehicle a tangled
hulk of dark metal.
"They were just great girls. They were just absolutely wonderful,"
said Denise
SYER, who went to high school with the two 19-year-olds
in Petrolia, east of Sarnia. Ms.
SYER could barely speak through
her tears as she grappled with the loss.
Mr. MacDONALD, 20, was also a Carleton student - someone who
was remembered for his love of life and his athleticism.
Police say he was at the wheel when his Toyota 4-Runner was hit
by a bus at about 1: 50 a.m. at an intersection of two main roads
just south of the university, which is notorious for its high
number of crashes.
The force of the impact took out a heavy, metal light standard.
The bus was tossed into a snowbank.
All three young people were pronounced dead at the scene and
two other students in the sport utility vehicle were also injured.
Ben GARDINER, 25, was listed as being in critical but stable
condition in hospital yesterday after undergoing leg surgery.
A 19-year-old female student was treated in hospital and released.
Although it had snowed most of Tuesday, the flurries had substantially
tapered off by the early hours of yesterday.
Police said yesterday afternoon that they were still trying to
piece together what had happened, but they suspected alcohol
might have been involved. The bus driver, who suffered minor
injuries along with one of his passengers, told police that he
had the green light.
Brier DODGE, a Carleton journalism student, grew up in Arnprior,
west of Ottawa, with Mr.
MacDONALD and remembered him as being
a national-level swimmer, though he quit before enrolling at
Carleton.
Ms. DODGE said that Mr.
MacDONALD was the type of guy who loved
to have fun.
"Looking back at him I think you can say that he really did live
every day the way he really wanted to," she said. He and the
two girls who died "all really loved life and to have fun. They
were always inviting people over."
Lindsay SKEOCH, a second-year sociology student, said she was
lost for words. "He was a really good friend and somebody I'll
remember forever," she said of Mr.
MacDONALD. "He was a hilarious
guy. He was always up for fun - always wanted to go out and do
things. He never was one to sit around."
Ms. DESCHAMPS was a music major who planned to teach music privately
after graduation, her father, Stephen
DESCHAMPS, said when reached
at the family's home in Petrolia.
"She loved life, loved her Friends. I loved her giggle, her laugh,
her beautiful, beautiful smile. Anything I'd do would make her
laugh. She was very much a daddy's girl."
Ms. CRAWFORD hailed from Corunna.
Nicole BURK/BURKE, who worked part time with her at the local Tim Hortons
while the two were in high school, described her as fun loving
and someone who was an excellent singer. "She was in the Jazz
Attack group at my school and she was really good."
Paul WIERSMA is the vice-principal at Lambton Central Collegiate
Vocational Institute in Petrolia where both girls went to school.
The students were told of the tragedy at the end of the day yesterday
and a moment of silence was observed.
"They will be very much missed by our senior students and by
our teachers," Mr.
WIERSMA said. "They were full of life and
they certainly were excited by going off to university. They
had a lot of potential and a lot to offer."
At Carleton, flags were flying at half-mast yesterday.
Samy MAHMOUD,
Carleton's interim president, described the news
of the deaths as "devastating."

Ex-diplomat,
son of former prime minister dies
By Jill MAHONEY,
Page▼ A7
Geoffrey PEARSON, a retired diplomat and the
son of a former
prime minister, has died.
Mr. PEARSON, who turned 80 in December, died in his sleep early
yesterday, family friend Nancy
GORDON said. She did not know
the cause of his death.
"He was a great diplomat, he was very interested in Canadian
foreign policy," Ms.
GORDON said last night.
In many ways, Mr.
PEARSON carried on the work and legacy of his
father, former Liberal prime minister Lester
PEARSON, she said.
Geoffrey PEARSON was Canada's ambassador to the Soviet Union
from 1980 to 1983. He was also a foreign service officer and
a former executive director of the Canadian Institute for International
Peace and Security.
Bob Rae, a long-time family friend, last saw Mr.
PEARSON in December
at a one-day conference Mr. Rae presided over to honour the 50th
anniversary of Lester
PEARSON's
Nobel
Peace
Prize. He said his
friend had been unwell.
"I'm obviously very saddened to learn of his passing. He was
a very fine man, he was very committed to Canada's role as a
peacemaker and peacekeeper in the world, was a great Canadian
ambassador and had a very great sense of humour," he said.
Mr. PEARSON, who was retired, was a past president of the United
Nations Association in Canada. Long after his retirement, he
wrote about and commented on foreign affairs, including for The
Globe and Mail and other media. A book he wrote about his father,
Seize the Day: Lester B. Pearson and Crisis Diplomacy, was published
in 1993.
Ms. GORDON, who worked for Mr.
PEARSON at the Canadian Institute
for International Peace and Security and has known him since
the mid-1970s, spoke with his son about his passing. "They're
shocked and sad," she said.
Mr. PEARSON leaves his wife, former senator Landon
PEARSON.
They
have five children.

Police discover third body in charred home
By Jill MAHONEY,
Page▲
A11
Investigators discovered a third body yesterday in the charred
ruins of a Don Mills townhouse believed to be the scene of a
double murder-suicide.
Two bodies had been found previously, after a suspicious fire
engulfed the home Saturday evening. The three bodies are thought
to be those of a woman, her husband and her mother.
"That's what we anticipate, and that would make it a double homicide-suicide,"
said Toronto police homicide Detective Doug
SANSOM.
Around the time of the blaze, a three-year-old boy, who police
believe was orphaned by the fire, was found unharmed by a neighbour
after the man received a mysterious knock on his door. The boy
was carrying a confession note.
"The note would indicate that there's some foul play," Det.
SANSOM
said, adding it appeared to be in a man's handwriting.
The note referred to a tape recorder in a nearby car that had
only the sounds of people singing in English, Urdu and Hungarian.
Police suspect the person who tried to make the recording was
unaware the tape recorder did not work.
The boy has been in the care of the Children's Aid Society, but
police believe he will be released to a paternal aunt who lives
outside Toronto.
The second body, found Sunday, and the third body had not been
removed from the townhouse late yesterday afternoon because of
concerns about the structure's safety.
Police had responded to past complaints of domestic violence
at the address on Green Belt Drive; the last incident was about
three years ago, Det.
SANSOM said. As well, emergency responders
reported a strong smell of gasoline at the fire, which occurred
in the Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue area.
Police said the victims are believed to be a 41-year-old man
and two women, aged 46 and 70. Police won't officially release
the names until the badly burned bodies are identified, likely
through dental records or DNA. However, they have been identified
by local media as Magid
AHMAD, his wife, Ildiko
SZAVA, and her
mother, Karolyne
GALLASZ.

WITHERS,
Eileen
Anne (née
TRAYNOR)
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing
of Eileen WITHERS, after a short and courageous battle with lung
cancer. On Friday, June 13th, she died peacefully with her husband
and two children by her side in hospital in Halifax, age 61.
A woman whose journey through life blended several families in
many locations, including homes in Scotland, England, Gatineau
in Quebec, Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto and finally retirement in
Windsor,
Nova
Scotia. Daughter of proud parents Harry
TRAYNOR
and Katherine (née
GILL) of Halifax. Beloved wife and best friend
of Thomas (Ted)
WITHERS. Cherished mother of Sarah (Keith
BENNETT,
Toronto) and Adam
MAHONEY
(Kendra
HURSHMAN, Windsor.) Dear stepmother
of Rob MAHONEY (Tracey
SLITER, Ottawa), Paul
WITHERS (Judy
MYRDEN,
Halifax) and Carolyn (Andy
HEARD, Salt Spring Island, British
Columbia). Precious sister of Ian (Ottawa) and Gordon (Halifax),
she was predeceased by her sister Christine (Bryan
UNSWORTH,
York). Eileen will be sadly missed by her extended family and
Friends in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and throughout Canada.
Born in Greenock, Scotland, her family moved to England before
she started school. An avid sportswoman and student, tennis and
grass-hockey were balanced by studying mathematics and chemistry,
eventually completing an honours degree in Economics at the University
of London. In 1968, shortly after arriving in Canada, she realized
that her French skills, learned in England, were not sufficient
so she enrolled in a French ski school. That way, she could learn
to ski and speak French at the same time. Her strong work ethic
and commitment to efficiency helped propel her into senior policy
roles in several federal government departments, and trade negotiator
for International Trade Commission. Eileen was truly a remarkable
and multifaceted woman whose interests included her pets, wine
making and antiques. Always fond of puzzles and games, the complexity
of duplicate bridge enchanted her. She was a Life Master, certified
as both a director and teacher. She also judged competitive debating
teams. A collector by nature she attended estate auctions most
weekends. Travel often centred around a theme, first bridge tournaments,
then 'collecting' state capital domes in the United States, and
finally, viewing paintings by Vermeer in museums around the world.
Her love of art was shared with Ted. In recent years, her generosity
led her to volunteer with seniors at the Windsor Elms, especially
in the Palliative Care Unit. An active member of her church,
she was a Eucharistic Minister. Funeral mass and celebration
of life were held in Windsor, Nova Scotia In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or your
local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal
Shelter. Private messages of condolence can be made in the 'Guest
Book' at: www.familycare.ca She met each challenge in her path
with grace and wisdom and it was the gift of herself that she
gave to others.

Motorists' flash of anger ignites a fatal confrontation
By Sarah BOESVELD,
Page A1
It was all over in a minute.
In a crash that police say was fuelled by a split-second fit
of road rage, a man was killed yesterday when he was ejected
from his black sport utility vehicle after a dramatic showdown
with another driver in the eastbound lanes of a busy Ontario
highway.
The early-morning crash caused five hours of traffic headaches
for thousands of commuters heading eastbound on Highway 401 outside
the town of Milton, just west of Toronto, and shined a spotlight
on the dangers of driving while raging.
By late yesterday, police had arrested a man and charged him
with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving and
failure to remain and assist at the scene of a collision.
Reached last night, the mother of the arrested man said she knew
police were looking for her son when she heard about the crash
through the news media.
"Right away, I knew who it was. The time, the place, the colour
of the car and the make of the car," she said. Her other son
was also in the car. Both men were heading to work in Mississauga
at the time of the crash.
"It's like a nightmare," their mother said. "I can't believe
it, I can't believe it."
From eyewitness reports, police gave a detailed account of events
leading up to the crash.
A 55-year-old man was heading to work from his Milton home. He
was driving north on James Snow Parkway when, at 5: 16 a.m., a
maroon Pontiac Grand Prix pulled up beside him.
While police don't know what precipitated it, they allege the
two drivers began a duel of sorts, jockeying to be the first
on the Highway 401 ramp ahead. They accelerated "at a high rate
of speed" toward the on-ramp, said Staff Sergeant Dennis
MAHONEY-
BRUER
of the Ontario Provincial Police Port Credit division.
The man driving the sport utility vehicle managed to surge ahead
and merge into the centre lane, but the Pontiac driver wasn't
conceding defeat: He accelerated and cut in front of the sport
utility vehicle, then slammed on the brakes - a classic road-rage
manoeuvre, police say.
To avoid rear-ending the Pontiac, the sport utility vehicle driver
swerved to the left and lost control, smashing into the cement
median and rolling at least three times, police said. The sport
utility vehicle bounced about 300 metres until it landed upright.
The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the
vehicle; he landed about four metres away, police said.
The time was 5: 17 a.m.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not released
his name at the request of the family. [He was later identified
as Tony GRECO.]
Although police do not often write "road rage" into their collision
reports, Kenford Nedd, a stress specialist based at the Western
Medical Centre in Vancouver, said most crashes can be directly
linked to stress. He also sees an increasing number of patients
admitting to their road rage.
When a driver's blood boils after being cut off on the road,
a muscle stimulation prompts the hypothalamus to secrete cortisol,
a hormone offering a natural high, Doctor Nedd said.
"When the impulses go to the hypothalamus, you can get a sense
of euphoria, a sense that you're not responsible, you can almost
do anything, there's a lack of control," he said.
But regaining control can take "just nanoseconds," he added.
It can be as easy as taking a deep breath. "We need to learn
to respond to situations rather than to react like we're wind-up
toys ready to be released when any twig falls."
In the Highway 401 case, Staff Sgt.
MAHONEY-
BRUER said old-fashioned
common courtesy could have prevented the crash.
"It's hard to be angry at somebody that waves a hand and says
sorry, but when you get two hotheads together, that really precipitates
the problem," he said. He said the crash is also an example that
the public isn't getting the message about the life-saving benefit
of wearing a seatbelt.
Wayne WINSOR, 39, of Milton, turned himself in to the local collision
reporting centre at 2: 40 p.m. yesterday. Ontario Provincial Police
officers picked him up and brought him to their Port Credit detachment
for questioning.
He is scheduled to appear in court this morning.

McKEON,
Mary
Elizabeth
Of Toronto, died peacefully on January 31, 2008, surrounded by
love in her 84th year. Bette's presence in the lives of her family,
her many Friends throughout the world, her colleagues in the
teaching profession and her associates in the arts and music
fields was cherished by everyone. Bette was the eldest child
of the late James
McKEON and Callista
McKEON and is survived
by her siblings Louis (Mary), James (Renate), the late Frederick
(Natalie), Patricia, Jack (Rickie), Jill (the late Desmond) and
Barry (Mary). She was the devoted aunt to 16 nieces and nephews
and a true friend to her cousins, Peggy
McKEON and Mary
McKEON
(Charles,) and to her devoted friend Jane
MAHUT.
Bette was a graduate of Loretto Academy in Hamilton and in 1946
graduated from McMaster University in Honours English. She then
took up a teaching career in High Schools in Toronto. She was
a female 'Mr. Chips', in her love of English and her influence
on her many students at High Schools in Toronto. This was recognized
when the student body at Sir Sandford Fleming High School in
Toronto, upon learning that she was switching to another High
School for personal reasons, on their own, rented a billboard
in mid Toronto with the inscription 'Happiness is Miss
McKEON'
on it.
She will be greatly missed by her family, and her multitude of
Friends in her many clubs and activities, in Toronto and around
the world. She was an ardent supporter of the Arts, especially
the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Stratford and the Shaw, all of
whom benefited from her support during her life and through bequests
which she has made.
A visitation will be held on Monday, February 4, 2008 from 9 a.m.
to 10: 30 a.m. at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home (6150 Yonge Street,
at Goulding, south of Steeles). This will be followed by a Funeral
Mass at 11: 00 a.m. and reception afterwards at St. Luke's Roman
Catholic Church (39 Green Lane, Thornhill). In lieu of flowers,
donations in Bette's memory can be made to St. Luke's Church
to support children's activities.
