Frome's oldest citizen recognized as a builder
By Daniela
SIMUNAC, Sun Media, Sun., February 24, 2008
John Sidney
SILCOX joked with his neighbours that he was the
mayor of their tiny village near Saint Thomas called Frome.
He called himself mayor because "he was the oldest one here,"
said his cousin, Don
SILCOX.
It was hard not to come into contact with the self-proclaimed
top public servant in the community of 50 residents.
For half a century, John
SILCOX was both a skilled carpenter
and volunteer firefighter. He was always available to those who
knew him and needed a hand, his cousin said.
When a tornado blew through Frome one August day in 1990 and
ripped through 10 homes,
SILCOX was there.
His son Stephen's home was "torn down flat," while the roof on
his father's house ripped off, recalled his brother, Bob
SILCOX.
"We had a bad year that year. We had to hire some extra help."
Those were houses
SILCOX helped to build. He also built his own
home in 1977 less than half a kilometre from the Frome United
Church, where he was an active member, his cousin said.
SILCOX was able to build three or four houses a year, framing
the entire house with his brother beginning when the two were
in high school.
SILCOX studied carpentry at Arthur Voaden secondary in Saint Thomas,
followed by an apprenticeship and a stint as a volunteer firefighter.
When it was someone else's turn to apprentice,
SILCOX stressed
the importance of using more nails.
"He liked to put stuff up that was very sound," his brother said.
SILCOX would also always try to squeeze in extra space to make
a room bigger.
"It doesn't cost that much more to make it two feet wider," Bob
SILCOX remembers him often saying.
Still it wasn't always hard times working with
SILCOX. He would
make others laugh by nailing a worker's pant leg or lunch bag
to the roof, his cousin said.
"He was always a jokester. He always had a smile on his face."
SILCOX's carpentry skills aided him in his battles with fires.
"He knew how to cut houses apart and get water inside," said
Don SILCOX, who often worked beside him firefighting for the
Southwold fire department.
John SILCOX died January 22 at the age of 76 of liver cancer,
the same disease that took his wife three years earlier.
He is survived by three children and eight grandchildren.

Rebellious writer returned from Paris and helped install French
in Toronto schools
Raised on the Sawdust Trail, he learned oratory from his bishop
father but strayed far from his religious roots
By Noreen SHANAHAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S8
Toronto -- When Clayton
DERSTINE was 9, he joined his father
on the Sawdust Trail, a trek across the Deep South made by Christian
evangelists during the Depression. C.F.
DERSTINE, a Mennonite
bishop from Kitchener, Ontario, headlined for Billy Graham while
his son ran errands inside the crowded tents. Clay listened to
his father preach to hardbitten farmers, sometimes for up to
five hours at a time, and learned some of his oratory skills.
Years later, Mr.
DERSTINE put those skills to work in a campaign
of his own - an effort to have French-language education taught
in Toronto's public schools. In the process, he discovered a
style of proselytizing much more to his liking.
Mr. DERSTINE helped create the first French public school in
Toronto. He also chaired the Toronto Board of Education's French
language advisory committee, was instrumental in creating the
Francophone Educational Planning Council for the Toronto Region,
and co-ordinated the Ontario Coalition for Language Rights. The
impact of his vision and the breadth of his labour is still felt
in several Toronto communities.
Clayton DERSTINE was the oldest child born to Bishop
DERSTINE's
Canadian family and Mary Elizabeth
KOLB. It was his father's
second family - he had previously had three children with a first
wife in Pennsylvania. His mother kept strictly to her tasks at
the church but later in life was sometimes seen loosening her
kerchief and cruising down the streets of Kitchener in a black
car. Clayton was a bright boy but couldn't keep his mind on his
lessons. He slid into all kinds of mischief - a rough beginning
for a boy whose father had penned well-thumbed sermons with the
titles "The path to noble manhood" and "Hell's playground: theatres
and movies."
During Bishop
DERSTINE's revival meetings, one of Clay's jobs
was to lean across a five-foot wooden scroll and wind it along,
displaying the images as his father told the Mennonite history
of the world. After the meetings, devout women who had stood
in the hot sun all day prepared supper for them, sometimes dripping
sweat into the mashed potatoes. Clay didn't like that too much
- he politely asked for a couple of boiled eggs and peeled the
shells himself. A rebel from the start, he continued on this
path and later exhibited some particularly curious eccentricities,
drawing him far from his rural, religious roots.
He was a football hero during high school, a force to be feared
on the field. But he was a bookish jock, preferring Dickens and
Descartes over retelling stories from the game. His yearbook
included comments about his tackling and running, as well as
how he tended to "sling around a mean vocabulary."
In 1949, after graduating from Waterloo Lutheran University (later
Wilfred Laurier) with a degree in English literature, he went
to graduate school at the University of Toronto, studying under
Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan. He spent hours at the Royal
York Hotel's King Cole Room, discussing great shifts in intellectual
thought with his mentors and fellow protégés. These conversations
became a launching pad for him as a thinker and a writer. His
problem was that his intellect and ambition never quite met up
with a solid body of discipline. As a writer, he was often mired
in esoteric dreaming. He dropped out of school in 1951 and looked
for the cheapest route to Paris.
For the next seven years, he lived in a tiny top-floor garret
with a view of Notre Dame, no doubt aware of the cliché but succumbing
to its charms regardless. He surrounded himself with Scotch,
cigarettes and a steady supply of black notebooks, in which he
inked his impressions of the city. If he wasn't in his room writing,
he was in cafés discovering the particular flavours of French
society, and sometimes sponging work off his new Friends. He
was an office boy for United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization for a few years, then hired to do translations.
If the French words didn't come easily enough, he'd pop into
Café de Flore on Boulevard Saint-Germain to swallow un petit
jaune (pastis) and ask someone to help fill in the blanks.
During this period, he dated Mariel
CLARMONT, a Parisian he met
in one of the cafés. She gave birth to their daughter, Julie,
just before he returned to Canada in 1958. Mr.
DERSTINE held
Julie at birth but then did not see her again until she turned
21, by agreement with Mariel.
In the meantime, Mr.
DERSTINE returned home to life in the basement
of his parents' Kitchener home. It wasn't long before he met
and fell in love with Joyce
CARTER, a young reporter at the Record
newspaper. The couple moved to Toronto, where Ms.
CARTER went
to work for The Globe and Mail. After they had lived together
for a few years, they were married by Bishop
DERSTINE in their
living room, his hands shaking so much from Parkinson's disease
that he could hardly hold the Bible. His son reached out and
took his father's hand to steady it.
In 1965, their son Dirk was born and Mr.
DERSTINE became a stay-at-home
father, a rarity then. He also worked as a freelancer, consulting
with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on a series about
Mennonite history and writing book reviews for The Globe. He
also kept busy working on Treegodspace, a memoir loosely based
on his Paris notebooks.
"This book is written mostly either from a sofa just inside the
window, or from a canvas chaise, shuffled regularly to follow
the sun's patches across the lawn. If it's 3 p.m. I'm beside
the lilies," he wrote. In this dense, impressionistic book, Mr.
DERSTINE
embarked on a journey to see where he would wind up - as he put
it, "To see the macrocosm in the microcosm."
He was deeply committed to his writing project and continued,
season after season, pumping out the words, certain that he'd
eventually find an appreciative audience. He once left the manuscript
on Dennis Lee's doorstep, hoping the Toronto writer would find
it a good home. But after repeated rejections from publishers,
Mr. DERSTINE mourned for a while, then bounced back with a new
vigour for an old passion: the French language.
Inspired by Pierre Trudeau's move toward bilingualism and multiculturalism,
Mr. DERSTINE also believed strongly in Canadians speaking both
official languages. But during the late 1970s, Toronto students
could immerse themselves in French only at expensive private
schools or through the separate school system.
Mr. DERSTINE set about finding a more inclusive solution. In
1972, he helped create the first French public school in Toronto,
École Gabrielle-Roy, named after the Manitoba writer. Five years
later, Mr.
DERSTINE was involved in forming a French secondary-school
module at Jarvis Collegiate. Beginning in 1977, he served for
eight years as vice-chair and then chair of the French Language
Advisory Committee at the Toronto School Board.
"Clay was one of those unique individuals," said Tony
SILIPO,
a trustee on the Toronto School Board in the early 1990s and
another member of the committee. "As an anglophone parent, he
was one of the most fervent proponents of French-language education
in the city. He lived it. He believed in it so strongly."
According to Pat Case, who also served on the board, Mr.
DERSTINE
was a strong proponent of multiculturalism who threw in his lot
with the other minority communities seeking recognition to "come
in from the margins." French wasn't just for Quebeckers, he understood,
but for immigrants from countries such as Haiti, Senegal and
the Ivory Coast.
In the late 1980s, the paradigm shifted. French school boards
replaced the advisory board; Mr.
DERSTINE served on the new body
until he was defeated at the polls in 1992. From that point on,
his world mostly consisted of life in a West Toronto neighbourhood,
where neighbours would spot him reading the morning paper on
his front porch or walking his dog with a crusty baguette tucked
under his arm.
Clayton DERSTINE was born July 1, 1928, in Kitchener, Ontario
He died March 21, 2008, in Toronto after a stroke. He was 79.
He is survived by wife, Joyce
CARTER, and children Dirk
DERSTINE,
of Toronto, and Julie
SAAVEDRA, of Paris.

Kathleen (née

What a wonderful ride it has been! Sandra
SILLCOX - wife, mother,
grandmother, sister, matriarch, equestrian, volunteer extraordinaire,
friend and larger than life personality - passed away peacefully
in her sleep March 26 at 74 years of age. Although quietly ill
from cancer, Sandra remained highly active and was feeding and
looking after her beloved horses until two weeks before her passing.
Sandra was greatly loved by her husband Robert, daughter Dana
(Jim), daughter Paige (Joe), son Scott (Kim), and grandchildren
- Nick, Devon, Mitchell, Thomas, Kendall, Carly and Kai. Also
survived by her brother Clay
POWELL,
Québec. To say that Sandra
was strong willed, independent and one-of-a-kind would be an
understatement. She was a remarkable person who touched and influenced
far more people than we can know. So many things can and will
be said about the remarkable Sandra, but above all it was never
dull and we thank her for that. Her cup was forever half full.
A celebration of Sandra's life will be held 11: 00 a.m. Wednesday
April 2 at All Saints Anglican Church in King City with refreshments
afterwards. Cremation has taken place. Condolences, as well as
favourite stories and fond memories of Sandra, may be forwarded

his professionalism, integrity, directness and sense of humour
will be greatly missed by all who knew him. The family would
like to thank Doctor Bob
STEVENS,
Doctor
Erinn
OWENS, and especially
the nurses in the Chemo Suite at Grand River Cancer Centre, and
the Paramed nurses through Community Care Access Centre. The
care, respect and genuine feelings all of them displayed when
caring for Garry made this difficult journey bearable. A special
thanks to Garry's employer Babcock and Wilcox, and PEER Group
where Brenda and Christine work, for being so generous and giving
us the gift of time with Garry over the past few months. Visitation
will be held at the Erb and Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King
Street South, Waterloo, on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 from 2-4 and
7-9 p.m. and

service to celebrate Garry's life will follow in the funeral
home chapel on Wednesday, May 21 at 11 a.m. Cremation to follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Grand River Regional
Cancer Centre would be appreciated and may be arranged by contacting

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."

He is remembered as the President of Yellow Shoes which pioneered
the idea of low cost self-serve retail stores. He grew the company
from 10 stores to one of the largest shoe chains in Quebec. His
brilliance as a stylist and his creative genius at retailing
helped Yellow become one of the most successful shoe chains in
the country and he was known as a leader in the shoe industry.
Yellow was so much a part of Quebec culture that one of the three
major characters in the play "Broue", a satirical look at working
class life in Quebec, was a Yellow store manager.
In the latter part of his life his major challenge was his health
and he met it with the same optimism, courage and spirit that
he poured into his business.
He was a major benefactor of the Marilyn and Ernest Avrith Liver

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
