and sympathy were unmatched but her sweet nature belied her keen
intelligence, quick wit and remarkable fortitude.
An effective and quiet philanthropist, Miriam supported a wide
variety of causes including Parkinson's research and the preservation
of Canada's rich military history. In 1996 she was honoured as
a Dame of The Order of the Hospitallers, which is a world wide
organization helping the sick and the poor. Miriam held the position
of Chairman of the W. Garfield Weston Foundation for nearly 30 years.
Her personal generosity extended to helping many she felt simply
needed understanding and a kind hand.
The extended Weston family wishes to pay tribute to Miriam's
wise guidance on the Foundation and in their lives. Her high
moral standards will continue to serve as inspiration to the
younger generation who love her.

Three Friends who perished in watery crash were ‘full of life'
By Anthony
REINHART and Sarah
BOESVELD and Matthew
CAMPBELL,
Page A1
Minett, Ontario, Toronto -- Peninsula Road is worth taking slowly,
if only for the postcard-pretty views of the Joe River, as the
locals call it.
On Friday, where the road curves before crossing the river, cottage-bound
travellers slowed to take in a starkly different sight: 20 metres
of metal guardrail ripped from the ground, a pine tree shorn
at a point as high as a basketball hoop, and various bits of
the Audi S4 that literally flew through here and into the river
on Thursday evening, killing three young men inside.
A fourth occupant, a young woman, survived somehow.
Ontario
Provincial
Police identified the dead as Tyler
MULCAHY
and Cory MINTZ, both 20 and from Toronto, and Kourosh
TOTONCHIAN,
19, of North York.
The
Audi belonged to Mr.
MINTZ, but Mr.
MULCAHY was driving when
the car crashed into the lake.
Friends and family said Friday that the young men were “full
of life” and loved to have a good time up at the cottage while
on a break from their university studies.
Mr. TOTONCHIAN's father, Ali, said Friday that his son was “a
great boy” who was finishing his second year of business at the
University of British Columbia, and had dreams of becoming a
lawyer.
“He was a people person. He could always charm his way through
anything, ” Mr.
TOTONCHIAN said.
Ryan SILVERSTEIN, who had known Mr.
MINTZ for seven years, said
the young man was starting an acting career and was seeking an
agent. He had finished his first year at the University of Western
Ontario in London and was living in his mother's boyfriend's
cottage on Peninsula Road during the summer while running his
own boat-detailing business.
“He wasn't just a best friend, he was my brother, ” he said of
Mr. MINTZ. “He was a hipster guy, liked to party, wore tight
jeans, listened to cool music.&rdquo
A family member said the group was driving home from Cory
MINTZ's
cottage at the time of the accident.
Mr. MULCAHY attended Upper Canada College and had completed his
third year at the University of San Diego. Friend Andrew
REBURN
described him as “fun guy to be around. He had a great sense
of humour and always seemed to be happy.&rdquo
Nastasia ELZINGA, 19, of Toronto escaped the wreckage and was
taken to South Muskoka Memorial Hospital in Bracebridge, where
she was treated for minor injuries and released. Friends say
she attends McGill University in Montreal and is “athletic and
very bright.&rdquo
“I don't know how she walked away, ” Ontario Provincial Police
Constable Skeeter
KRUGER said of the 7 p.m. accident, “but she
said her Friends were still in the car” as the first of many
emergency workers arrived.
The car came to rest on the rocky river bottom with its passenger
side down and the badly damaged driver's side protruding less
than 30 centimetres from the water, Constable
KRUGER said.
Police, local volunteer firefighters and bystanders scrambled
down an embankment of granite boulders and waded into 1.5 metres
of water to retrieve the young men. They tried to resuscitate
them, but to no avail, Constable
KRUGER said.
The wrecked car, leaking fuel, was pulled from the river afterward.
On Friday, driver after driver pulled over, some with bouquets
and all with sober expressions, off the winding road, which has
a posted speed limit of 80 km/h.
Ontario Provincial Police traffic investigators were not ready
to discuss the speed of the Audi or who was driving, but it was
clear that the car left the road at substantial speed, given
the length of ripped-out guardrail, the tree broken four metres
above ground, the strewn debris and a set of curving skid marks
that indicated a failed attempt to cling to the yellow centre
line.
Herwig SCHROTH, 71, a resident of nearby Port Carling, said that
every summer he sees vacationers in high-performance cars, speeding.
Last year's example, which he witnessed near Bala, involved “two
cars racing at at least 150 km/h; one a Corvette, one a BMW.
They were just chasing each other, ” Mr.
SCHROTH said at the
roadside, where a pine scent wafted from the snapped tree.
“It's the kind of thing that happens every year, ” said Alf
MORTIMER,
84, a lifelong Muskokan who owns the marina in Port Sandfield,
a few kilometres south of the crash site. “But this is a bad
accident.&rdquo
Beyond the obvious loss to the young men's families and Friends,
Constable KRUGER said, the deaths unnerved colleagues. The Bracebridge
Ontario Provincial Police detachment has now seen six deaths
in four incidents in recent weeks -- three on the roads and one,
last weekend, on the water.
“Having to do [death] notifications is one of the worst jobs
we have to do, ” he said. “There isn't one person who goes home
at the end of the day and doesn't take a piece of this with them.&rdquo
Autopsies were scheduled for today; subsequent toxicology tests
will determine whether alcohol played a role.
In the meantime, Constable
KRUGER said, “there has to be higher
respect for our roads and our waterways across the province.
We continue to educate people about making good driving decisions,
and it would be great if some of those messages would get through
to people.&rdquo
