Killed by falling Tree (June 4, 1998) Ottawa Citizen.
- Lanark student 'really well -liked,'
teacher says
- BY JAKE RUPERT
.
A
hard -working, well -liked young man was killed by a falling tree yesterday
while clearing brush on a bush lot near the
village
of
Lanark
. Matthew McDougall,
18, of Lanark, was working with another man, who was cutting down trees, when
the upper part of a falling tree struck him just after
9 a.m.
Mr.
McDougall was wearing a helmet at the time, but he sustained severe head
injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at the
Great
War
Memorial
Hospital
in nearby
Perth
. Const.
Jacqueline Entwistle of the Perth OPP and officials from the Ontario Ministry
of Labour are trying to piece together events leading up the accident. An
autopsy will be performed today, after which Coroner Alan Drummond will decide
if an inquest will be held. Mr.
McDougall was on a job placement with E&S Logging, which is owned by his
father Brent, when the accident occurred. Last night, neither his father nor
his mother, Joan, were able to talk about their son's death.
Ernie McDougall, a relative who lives in Lanark, about 90 kilometer's
southwest of
Ottawa
, said Mr. McDougall loved the outdoors and
hoped to have a career in forestry management after graduating from the
Perth
and District Collegiate Institute.
"He loved hunting and fishing," Ernie McDougall said. "He liked
anything to do with the outdoors. He was a very nice young man. He respected
other people and was a hard worker. If you asked him to do something, it got
done and got done right.
"He had a lot to give. He was taken way, way too early. It's a shame he
was taken."
News of Mr. McDougall's death spread quickly through the close -knit
village
of
Lanark
yesterday. On the street corners, in the restaurants, and in the stores
people stopped and exchanged a few words -about -the young man they all knew as
Matt.
By
noon
, word had travelled to Mr. McDougall's high school.
"I came back from lunch and you couldn't hear a word in the
hallways," said gym teacher Robert McNichol.
"Some kids were crying, and others didn't know what to do. The sudden
shock is difficult to cope with. He was a really well -liked kid."
Later in the afternoon, school officials canceled all events for the rest of
the week to give students a chance to deal with Mr. McDougall's death. They
also let students know that if they felt like talking to someone, guidance
councillors were standing by.
Matthew
McDougall of Lanark was known for his work ethic and
respect for others.

Rev
H D Roberts retires after 40 years
- The last farewell service of
Reverend Roberts before his retirement from the Anglican Ministry was held at St
Mark's Church Pakenham for the Anglican parish of Pakenham, Antrim, Galetta and
Waba.
About 180 of a congregation attended the communion service and to hear Reverend
Roberts' last address.
From the church, the congregation adjourned to the RA Centre for a Pot Luck
Dinner after which an address was given by Ted Hall. A picture of the Anglican
rectory was presented to Reverend Roberts, also a wallet and money. Corsages
were pinned on Mrs. Roberts and Valerie by Linda Grainger and Alma Majaury.
Helping with the presentation were Rob Grainger, Irvin Majaury and Stanley
Cavanagh. Credit should be given to Walter Bourk and his wife Marion for
instigating the dinner also all those who helped to make it a success.
Reverend Roberts is retiring after over 40 years service in the ministry, of
which were served as rector of the Anglican Parish of Pakenham, Antrim, Galetta
and Waba.
Address read by Ted Hall
Ladies and Gentlemen or maybe I should say fellow parishioners, on behalf of the
Wardens of the four churches and myself I would like to welcome you all hear
today. I am sure you all know why we are gathered here for this Pot Luck Dinner,
and I am also glad to see so many present. We are here to show our gratitude and
thanks to our rector Reverend Roberts for six years of faithful service well
done, and who after 40 years plus in the ministry has decided to retire and call
it quits.
Now I am sure we all remember back in November 1969 when Pakenham and Waba were
without a rector, Reverend Conliff having retired a month or so earlier and
Reverend Roberts had just become the rector of Antrim and Galetta. Now that all
four churches, the congregations were finding it increasingly difficult to bear
the ever increasing financial burden of running our individual churches, and so
the congregations of all four churches along with the blessing of the Bishop and
the powers to be, decided that we should amalgamate and thus the parish of
Pakenham, Antrim, Galetta, and Waba came into being, with Reverend Roberts as
rector.
You know it must be hard enough to be rector of one church, but to be rector of
four churches, each one with a different temperament is really something else.
But I am sure that we all agree that Reverend Roberts has done a superb job.
Trying to arrange the services so that we would be happy, playing the organ when
the organist was not able to play or we did not have one, "period",
plus a thousand and one other things to try and keep us all happy, and you know
he did just that. He always seemed to be able to make everything run smoothly,
and to make it look almost easy doing it which I can assure you it was not. And
now that you Reverend Roberts are leaving us to go into retirement we wish to
express our sorrow at your leaving - but most of all our sincere gratitude to
you and also your wife Mrs. Roberts for what you have done since you have been
our Rector. We are certainly going to miss you both. And so on behalf of us here
in the parish of Pakenham, Antrim, Galetta, and Waba we would like you to accept
these small tokens of our esteem and appreciation to you Reverend Roberts, Mrs.
Roberts and Valerie. We hope that your retirement will be everything you would
like it to be and that the rest of your lives may be enriched with the fullness
of God.
We hope you will like the picture of the Rectory and that when you look at it,
it will remind you of the congregations and friends in your last parish of
Pakenham, Antrim, Galetta, and Waba.
