SHANNON, Robert Henry 1923 2006
It's hard to believe that one man could solve a problem that has stymied billion-dollar corporations for decades, but Robert Shannon seems to have done just that." Canadian Business, April 1988. Described as an alchemist, a modern-day magician, for the process he developed to extract clean oil from coal, however, Robert, like many great people, had humble beginnings. He was a native of Medicine Hat, Alberta. As a teenager, he volunteered for service in the Royal Canadian Navy serving from 1941 until 1945 attaining the rank of Lieutenant. All who were close to him know that serving his country was the proudest time of his life. With a Business Administration degree from the University of Western Ontario and at an age when most people retire, he worked as a lonely researcher in the basement of his Toronto home and discovered how to obtain refined coal products by combining low-grade hydrocarbons, coal and bitumen in an economical way. At age 65, he was recognized by the US Department of Energy beginning a new stage in his life by becoming the owner of Ontario-Ohio Synthetic Fuels Corp., travelling to most parts of the world. Just weeks before his death, he was asked for advice as he continued to be well known as an inventor of note. In the International Statesmen's Who's Who" 1972, he appeared as the Canadian Manager of Chemical Products, Ethyl Corp.; Exec. Vice-Pres. Viceroy Manufacturing Co. Ltd.; Warden of the County of Halton; Reeve of the town of Burlington, and as Governor and Chairman of Finance at the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital. Robert was the Energy Advisor to Prime Minister Trudeau for a number of years. Father of a child with learning difficulties, he put all his efforts into creating, in 1966, what became known as the Commission on Emotional and Learning Disorders in Children, sponsored by the Canadian Association for the Mentally Retarded; the Council on Children & Youth; the Education Association; Mental Health Association; the Council for Disabled and the Canadian Welfare Council as well as Dr. Barnardo's, a Christian organization based in the United Kingdom, obtaining financial support for a three-year nation-wide study involving 400 professionals in several disciplines. The result was the publication of One Million Children", the most complete report at that time on children suffering emotional and learning disorders. He was a recipient of the C. Douglas Taylor Award for devoted service to the Cause of the Crippled Child from the Canadian Rehabilitation Council for the Disabled. A man with a fine spirit, in his 70's, he joined the Art Gallery of Ontario, taking lessons on art and traveling with a Gallery group, rediscovering the magnificence of the art he used to admire in his art-book collection and making his own films as sources of great and beautiful experiences which he generously liked to share. In the summer of 2003, he moved to Victoria enjoying what he used to describe as some of the best times of his life. A devoted lover of nature, an endless student and tireless reader, he lived a simple life, gaining the appreciation of his new friends and neighbours who used to see him almost everyday walking along the path, close to the sea, always aware of the beauty of his country which he loved as much as he loved life. He passed away on May 3 at Victoria General Hospital where he received a high quality of professional help accompanied by respect and compassion. His family members are grateful to the doctors and nurses. Robert was predeceased by his wife Adrienne Ann Shannon, and was survived by his beloved Mercedes, his daughters Adrienne White, Pamela Ann and Lisa Lynn, and his sisters Lillian Crosson and Eleanor (Bill) Murphy. At his request, there was no funeral service and his ashes will be scattered on the sea.

Sidney Stuart Blair May 12th, 1938 May 28th, 2007 At 4:38a.m. on Monday May 28th, 2007 Sidney Stuart Blair took his last flight home, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. Sid is lovingly remembered by his wife of 45 years, Marlene Thingelstad; his children, Peri-Lynne Blair (Greg Osiowy), Lindsay Blair (Diane Simmons), Tiffany Blair (Michael Scheibelhoffer), Jason Blair (Renata Mag-Atas); his six grandchildren, Clayton, Fraser and Nolan Osiowy, Dylan and Wilson Scheibelhoffer, and Hunter Blair; his brother, Wilson Blair (Agnes); and his sister, Joanne Hammond (Jim); his Aunt Ida Blair; his cousins, Betty Shields (Jack), Dale Blair (Janet), Ronnie Blair (Connie), Heather Blair, Kelly Gibney (Diane), Kathy Symons, John Watson (Yolanda), Gillian Watson; numerous nieces and nephews; and his six grand-dogs. Sid was predeceased by his father, James "Lindsay " Blair; his mother, Eileen Elizabeth Blair (nee Wilson); his uncles, Alexander "Sandy " Blair, Flight Sergeant Clayton Blair, Major Gilbert Blair, Stuart Wilson, William Wilson, Neil Gibney, Dixon Watson; and his aunts, Alice Gibney (nee Blair), Joan Dixon-Watson (nee Wilson), Dorothy Wilson-Sawchuk (nee Hutchence); and cousins, Patrick Gibney and Gilbert Blair. Sid was raised on the family farm in Lanigan, Saskatchewan. As a kid, he enjoyed playing sports and was a keen debater. As a teenager, he had the privilege of being both a King Scout and Queen Scout. Sid joined the Air Force for basic training, and was one of the few Canadians to see the Avro Arrow jet fly. Although Sid moved away from the farm it was clear that he remained a country boy at heart. Sid was a graduate of the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan in 1961. He earned his Master's of Soil Science in 1963. His working career was initially spent in Soil Science, and then on to Sales and Marketing with Simplot Chemical Company (Brandon, Manitoba), and the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan until his retirement. He was the consummate corporate man. He was dedicated, loyal, energetic, and loved working with his customers and colleagues across North America. During his retirement, Sid invested a great deal of time and effort documenting the Blair family history. Sid was an avid sports fan and his favorite pro-teams were the Boston Red Socks (Baseball), Dallas Cowboys (NFL Football), and Saskatchewan Roughriders. His ultimate favorite sports teams were the ones his children and grandchildren played on. Poppa Sid was driver, side-line coach, and #1 fan. Poppa happily attended many swim meets, dance recitals, science fairs, soccer, hockey and baseball practices and games, art fairs, and backyard adventures. When Poppa called, his first question was always ... what's today's schedule?. Above all, Sid Blair was a "happy " family man. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, mentor and friend. Everyone who knew Sid had a soft spot for him. Our father went out of his way to make people feel like family, whether you had known him for a lifetime or a brief moment. On behalf of our family, we would like to sincerely thank the Royal University Hospital Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) Red medical team, and Unit 6000/6100 Nursing and Support Staff for their exceptional care, compassion, and efforts to honour Sid's wishes and life. Sid created a lasting impression on the CTU Red team forming his own football team with Dr. Stephen Sanche (coach), Dr. Regina Taylor Gjevre (assistant coach), Dr. Kris Stewart (quarter back), Dr. Stephan Wardell (tight end), Dr. Justina Koshinsky (tackle), Family Physician Dr. Roy Chernoff (wide receiver), Dr. Sivaruban "Ruban " Kanagaratnam (running back), Dr. Amer Sami (running back), Dr. Jawed Akhtar (wide receiver), the Nursing staff (center) and other care team members (guards). Sid was proud to wear his "Red Socks " to represent his team's approach to care. His "last play " on the field was carried out with grace, skill, careful planning, and collaboration. A Celebration of Sid's life will be held on Saturday, June 2nd, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. from Acadia Drive Funeral Chapel (915 Acadia Drive, Saskatoon, SK).

The two were soon married and they settled their home near Nipissing. Over the years Simon worked in the logging camps for Odorizzis, Ellesmeres, Stephens and Duff Moore. After the breakdown of Simon's first marriage he married Evelyn Hummel. Together they ran a mink farm and Simon kept a small stable for work horses that he hired out. Through the years Simon became a trucker as he transported cattle, milk and gravel. He also handled a mail run, and trucked logs and pulp wood. Eventually the trucking took prominence and Simon bought his own rig. He served as a broker for such companies as Caustic, Kingsway, Motorway and Nickel City but over the 25 years he operated his truck he kept returning to Kingsway. His trucking was done mostly in Ontario. Throughout his life Simon liked to invest his money, and did so in various endeavours such as home construction, real estate and the stock market. He like to play cards and enjoyed his membership in the Golden Sunshine Club. He especially enjoyed the seniors dances. Simon had his own unique viewpoint on most everything and was free to share it! He was his own boss!

Sister of First Victim Speaks Out About Rare Disease's Canadian Connection
It's a rare but life-threatening infection spread to humans by tiny ticks encountered in the woods or backyard gardens. And this summer, a Powassan virus health scare in the U.S. prompted a New York senator, American medical authorities and even the New York Times to warn of an urgent need for better research, prevention and treatment strategies to combat a pathogen that's on the rise 'perhaps due to climate change' throughout the Great Lakes region.
But the virus that grabbed headlines south of the border in August has a tragic Canadian connection that explains its name and still haunts a Northern Ontario family that, in 1958, suffered the sudden loss of a four-year-old son and brother from what was then an unknown infectious agent.
At the same time, however, the child's death gave science what remains its key weapon against the virus: a test developed by Canadian microbiologists to identify the deadly organism, which attacks the central nervous system and can cause fatal or crippling encephalitis 'brain swelling' in about 30 per cent of those who develop symptoms.
For more than 50 years, the first documented victim of the disease, a preschooler from Powassan, Ont., a small town about 20 kilometres south of North Bay, has been referenced only anonymously in medical reports and scientific journals. In keeping with privacy rules, medical investigators kept descriptions of the boy and his final days clinically bare: During the afternoon of the fourth day after onset, noted the landmark 1959 study that announced the isolation of the Powassan virus, the patient suddenly stopped breathing. He was placed immediately in an artificial respirator. Spontaneous respiration did not recommence.
But now, the boy's 65-year-old sister, just 10 at the time of her brother's death, has spoken publicly for the first time about the anguish of a family tragedy now immortalized in the name of a fatal infection, one now expected to appear in more headlines in the coming years.
And when Sue Cossar remembers the September 1958 passing of her little brother, Lincoln Brian Byers, her words convey an enduring grief, but also a hint of solace that doctors, while initially confounded by the boy's death, were able to discover, at least, what took his life.
"He was an amazing little guy," said Cossar, who was second-youngest of the nine Byers children and had a special fondness for Lincoln, next in line and the 'baby' of the family.
"He loved picking berries," she said. "He was a really good kid. It was very hard on my Mom and Dad."
Mom and Dad are both gone now. But in 1958, the family lived on a farm about 12 kilometres west of Powassan, a property still owned by one of Cossar's older brothers. Lincoln, she recalled, loved animals and thrived in the rural setting: "We always said he was too good of a kid. We always grumbled that we had too many chores, but he was always out in the barn."
The first sign of trouble came on a late-summer afternoon, Sept. 17. "I remember him going to the barn with the boys, with my two older brothers. And they brought him up from the barn because his eyes had started twitching. He couldn't control his eyes."
Lincoln was taken to the family doctor in Powassan. "Dr. (J.E.) Dillane, I don't know how, he knew right away. He told Mom and Dad: "You get him to Sick Kids? Hospital as quick as you can.""
In those days, it was at least a six-hour drive to Toronto's renowned Hospital for Sick Children. "They took him down that night," Cossar said. "Two days later he went into a coma. I think that was on a Tuesday. By the Friday, he had died. It was very traumatic".
Dr. Donald McLean, a Sick Kids physician and medical researcher specializing in microbiology, along with his colleague, Dr. W.L. Donohue, had tracked Lincoln's deteriorating condition and sought permission from the Byers family for an autopsy. The two doctors detected an anomalous inflammation in the boy's brain tissue that would come to define a strain of virus new to the medical world.
The course of Lincoln's illness was summarized in a May 1959 article by McLean and Donohue in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
"Twelve hours before admission the child's mother noticed blinking of his left eyelids," the study stated, "and his eyes moved rhythmically to the left. His father noted some tremor and unsteadiness of the boy's left arm. The child complained of dizziness".
By the time he'd reached Toronto, Lincoln had a 'right-sided headache' and a rising fever. Two days later, neck stiffness was noted for the first time, his temperature soared and the boy's increasing drowsiness deepened into a coma. He died on Sept. 23, 1958.
McLean and Donohue discovered, under the microscope, inflamed cerebral tissue and degenerating nerve cells. Later experiments with mice exposed to the infection confirmed Lincoln had died from a newly identified viral pathogen: Powassan virus.
Cossar recalls how McLean and his colleagues then travelled to Powassan and surrounding areas to conduct an emergency research study to learn more about the virus that had killed Lincoln. Park rangers and other outdoor workers were tested, but the Byers farm was ground zero for the medical probe.
The researchers found a high concentration of virus-carrying ticks in some squirrels in the area. The findings appeared in later editions of the CMAJ, which once called McLean a 'talented tick-hunter' and documented his success in profiling the presence of Powassan virus in ticks found on squirrels and other small mammals at various sites in Canada and the U.S. His findings even prompted a front-page story in the Globe and Mail in February 1960.
"My brothers, they would catch squirrels, and this is what the doctors figured had happened," Cossar said. "They would skin these squirrels. And Lincoln would hold them while they were skinning these squirrels. And this Dr. McLean from Toronto figured it was a tick that, you know, had bitten him."
The illness has remained relatively low on North America's public-health radar over the years. But a severe case in northern New York this summer and new studies showing a greater-than-expected reservoir of the virus in Hudson Valley ticks led the state's senior lawmaker in Washington, Sen. Charles Schumer, to declare war in August on the 'emerging Powassan virus threat'. Schumer also pressed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do more to fight all tick-borne illnesses, including the more common but less virulent Lyme disease.
"The need for more research is clear and compelling. We need to bring Lyme disease and the Powassan virus out of the weeds and better educate the public about how to keep themselves and their families safe", Schumer said at the time.
The Times later editorialized in support of a stepped-up public-health strategy to fight Powassan virus. Lyme disease may be well known, the paper said, but "what most don't know is that the same family of black-legged ticks can also cause other diseases that are even more dangerous".
A CDCP study published in 2012 showed only 47 reported cases of Powassan virus since 2001 across the U.S., but nearly all occurred in the last half of the decade, mostly in the northern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York.
While mild symptoms can be treated, there's no known cure when the virus takes strong hold of a victim, and the ratio of deaths to total cases, compared with other tick-borne illnesses, is extremely high. Five of 15 people in New York diagnosed with Powassan virus have died since 2004.
According to the Saskatoon-based Canadian Co-operative Wildlife Health Centre, Powassan virus has been diagnosed in people in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. As in the U.S., the virus is fatal or leaves victims with debilitating effects in about one-third of all cases, though the number of documented cases is smaller in this country.
Ticks are most active between late spring and early fall, and experts have warned that climate change could increase the incidence of Powassan virus and other infections spread by ticks in northeastern North America.
A U.S. study published in the September issue of the CDCP's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal noted that 'because no vaccines or effective antiviral agents exist' to fight the virus, people should, above all, 'take precautions to prevent tick bites', wear light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and pants tucked into socks, use insect repellent and check themselves and pets for ticks after being outside.
The study also noted that doctors should become more familiar with the Powassan virus 'because this disease is likely to increase in areas to which it is endemic'.
Last week, the U.S.-based pest-control company Terminix also pointed to rising concerns about the Powassan virus to urge the public to take steps to avoid tick bites, including the possible use of backyard insecticides.
The thought of the virus becoming more common, said Cossar, is worrying: "It gives me goosebumps."
The recent public alarms about the infection contrast with the decades of quiet sorrow the Byers family endured following Lincoln's death. But Cossar recalls one other time, many years ago, when memories of her lost brother were stirred by talk of the Powassan virus.
She was working at a store in Powassan when a Toronto doctor and his wife dropped in to shop. They began discussing the link between the town's name and the viral infection. The place, Cossar remembers the man saying, "is well known for the Powassan virus. It was the disease that killed a young boy here."
"So this was just out of the blue," she said. "I'd never heard anybody talk about it before. And it was a weird feeling. This was my brother that he was talking about."
