Peg Belson, British health activist, died she was 90.

Doctor Margaret ("Peg") Belson MBE, BA Syd PhD (Hon)  was a British health care campaigner who made voluntary contributions over 60 years, in the UK and abroad, in the field of children’s welfare in hospitals, including the establishment of the Action for Sick Children Association died she was 90..^[1]

^(1921-2012)

Early Life and family

Margaret Belson (née Harris) was born in England in 1921 before emigrating to Australia at an early age, where she qualified as a teacher. She met her husband, William Belson, during the Second World War and they moved to London in 1951. Their first child, Jane, was born that year, followed by Louise, Ross and Bruce.

Inspiration

In 1959 the UK's Ministry of Health published the Platt Report requiring hospitals to implement major changes in the non-medical care of children in hospital. It made 54 recommendations, the most significant being that visiting to all children should be unrestricted, that mothers should be able to stay with young children and that the training of medical and nursing staff should include the emotional and social needs of children and families. Since 1952, through his contrasting documentary films, A Two Year Old Goes to Hospital and Going to Hospital With Mother James Robertson, a psychiatric social worker from the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, had been promoting such a pattern of care to doctors and nurses with only limited success. Nor was the Ministry any more successful in gaining a more humane pattern of care for sick children. At that time children faced long, lonely stays in hospital. Visiting hours were very short, sometimes as little as an hour twice a week and for some conditions non-existent. Parents were discouraged from visiting. It was thought they might bring infection into the ward and “their visits evidently upset the children who, if left to themselves, would quickly settle down and soon forget about home”. At that time a health correspondent could confidently state that “the vast majority of hospitals seemed oblivious to the enormous amount of suffering they put upon children and their parents by rules which break important relationships necessary for the maintenance of good mental health”. In 1961 James Robertson brought the Platt recommendations to public notice with a series of articles in the Observer and a forthright programme on BBC TV based on his films. Contrary to instructions he asked viewers to write to him about what happened when their children were in hospital and urged community action to improve conditions for sick children.

Early work

Peg Belson was one of the Battersea mothers who heeded his call and under his guidance set up a group, initially called Mother Care for Children in Hospital, which in 1965 changed to NAWCH – the National Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital. Within a few short years NAWCH was a UK-wide organisation with over fifty branches, a Central Office and a Government grant. During the past 50 years going into hospital for children has changed beyond recognition. In the main children are cared for by qualified staff on children’s wards where parents are welcome at any time, sleep near their child and take part in their care, hospital play specialists help to make the experience more meaningful and endurable and wards are bright and suitably decorated. With her colleagues Peg Belson played a significant role in helping to bring about these changes. She was a committee member and office-bearer in NAWCH (now Action for Sick Children), a member of official enquiries and represented Action for Sick Children on other national organisations. As a lecturer and writer and as a health authority member she was able to persuade others to take up the cause. She carried out many national surveys of hospital facilities for children, which gained wide press coverage and formed part of official reports. These surveys included facilities for parents, numbers of children’s trained doctors, nurses and hospital play specialists and numbers of children being nursed in adult wards as well as the availability of children’s emergency services, dedicated adolescent care and of education for sick children. In addition to helping to improve care in the UK she helped to introduce similar programmes for family involvement and play to other countries by visiting and teaching in hospitals overseas and by arranging teaching visits to UK hospitals for enthusiastic groups of overseas staff. These contacts included Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Malta, Finland, West Germany, Denmark, Japan, China, Kuwait, the Czech Republic, Poland and Bosnia. She was associated with the setting up of EACH, the European Association for Children in Hospital in 1992, the development of the EACH Charter for Children in Hospital. She represented Action for Sick Children on EACH and was currently its secretary. From 1964 she was associated with the development of play in hospital. With Dr Charlotte Williamson she established the Play in Hospital Liaison Committee and taught on three of the training programmes for Hospital Play Specialists. She was a Vice-President of the National Association for Hospital Play Staff and Advisor to Action for Sick Children. She assisted in the programme of family-centred care and hospital play in the Czech Republic since 1992.

Work with children with HIV/AIDS

Her early interest, gained in the USA, in children with HIV led her to join CWAC – the Children With AIDS Charity – at its foundation in 1992, chairing it from 2000 to 2010, steering it to become a very effective source of help for the many UK children infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. Medical advances have seen HIV become more a chronic than a terminal illness but social care is far behind. These children may, from an early age, experience extreme poverty, stigma, bereavement, adoption and fostering, while maintaining a strict medication regime with long or short-term side effects and enduring hospital stays while the need to maintain complete confidentiality regarding their health status can bring social isolation. CWAC offers these children and their families financial help, respite breaks, work experience and transport to hospital, provides sexual health programmes in schools and clubs, publishes a journal and runs a resource and campaign centre. Other interests include child accident prevention, facilities for under-fives and programmes for disabled children. She served on health authorities and community health councils and undertook other patient-representational roles during nearly sixty years of fulfilling voluntary endeavour for children and young people.

Honours

At her death she was vice-chair of USUKAA and was closely involved in the moves to change the NHS. She was awarded an MBE In 1973, elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in 1993 and was awarded an honorary PhD in 2003 by Wheelock College in Boston with whom she ran a summer school in London from 1978 to 2005. In 2011 ahe was presented with the inaugural USUKAA Lifetime Achievement Award. In October 2012, she was posthumously bestowed with the Silver Jan Masaryk Honorary Medal by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Mr. Karel Schwarzenberg, for her exceptional contribution to the advancement of care for hospitalized children in the Czech Republic. The medal was presented to Ms Louise Belson, her daughter, by His Excellency Michael Žantovský, the Czech Ambassador, at a ceremony that took place at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in London. The initiative for the award came from the Klicek Foundation [1], of which Peg Belson was a friend and advocate.

Carlos Soria, Argentine politician, Secretary of Intelligence (2002), Governor of Río Negro (since 2011), died from gunshot he was 63.

Carlos Ernesto Soria was an Argentine lawyer and Justicialist Party politician died from gunshot he was 63.. He died in the early hours of January 1, 2012, from a gunshot wound, at his farm, after the New Year celebrations. Soria was the governor of Rio Negro Province at the time. His widow was charged with first-degree murder on January 19, 2012.

(March 1, 1949 – January 1, 2012)

Life and times

Early life and career

Soria was born in Bahía Blanca in 1949, and was raised in a nearby rural town, General Daniel Cerri. His father, Ernesto Soria, was an outspoken Peronist, and was arrested shortly after the 1955 coup against President Juan Perón. Following his release several months later, the Sorias relocated to Bariloche. The elder Soria was again arrested amid a crackdown on Peronist protests during a state visit to Bariloche by U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower in March 1959, and was imprisoned in Bahía Blanca. He was released in April 1962 and the family settled in General Roca, Río Negro, where they opened a neighborhood store.^[2]
Carlos Soria enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires, earning a Law degree in 1973. Elections that March returned Peronists to power, and Soria was elected to the local Justicialist Party (JP) chapter. He was later elected to the Provincial Council of the JP, and upon the return of democracy in 1983, won a seat in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.^[2]

Tenure in Congress

Soria would be elected to Congress for four consecutive terms, becoming Chairman of the Constitutional Affairs Committee. He also served in the Justice, Impeachments, and Money Laundering committees; chaired the joint committee investigating the 1992 Israeli Embassy attack in Buenos Aires and the 1994 AMIA bombing (the two most significant acts of Islamic terrorism in Argentine history);^[3] and served in the Council of Magistrates of the Nation.^[4]
Soria shared President Carlos Menem's opposition to trials opened in 1996 in Spanish courts against Dirty War perpetrators by Judge Baltasar Garzón, and personally led a delegation to protest these trials; when Judge Garzón turned the tables on the delegation by calling them to testify, they returned, however, creating an embarrassing diplomatic incident.^[5] He later presented a bill to restrict rights and toughen sentences for those accused of violent crime, as well as another which would have granted congressional immunity to all members in perpetuity; both bills were defeated.^[5]
Soria would later be indicted for obstruction of justice in his capacity as Chair of the Joint Committee on the AMIA bombing, and though he was cleared of all charges, the Río Negro PJ dropped him from their party list ahead of the 1999 elections.^[5] Soria was then offered a place in the Buenos Aires Province PJ list for Congress by Governor Eduardo Duhalde. Shortly before the October 1999 elections, moreover, Duhalde appointed Soria as Provincial Minister of Justice. His appointment took place on the heels of the September 16 Ramallo massacre, a botched Provincial Police intervention during an armed bank robbery that resulted in the deaths of two hostages.^[6] Soria promptly released hitherto sequestered police files relating to the case which confirmed that the robbery, as well as the deaths of all robbers and hostages alike, had been orchestrated by Provincial Police officers.^[7]
Remaining on the electoral list for National Deputies, Soria took his seat in Congress in December representing the Province of Buenos Aires. He became among the leading congressional opponents of President Fernando de la Rúa's austerity package, scuttling a 2000 decree which would have cut public sector salaries (this ultimately took place the following year).^[8] President de la Rúa's resignation in December 2001, and the subsequent Congressional designation of Duhalde as provisional president resulted in Soria's appointment as Secretary of State Intelligence (SIDE) in January 2002.^[3]

Tenure at State Intelligence

Taking office, as President Duhalde did, amid widespread protest, Soria's tenure at SIDE would eventually be marred by a June 26 incident in which two piqueteros, Maximiliano Kosteki and Darío Santillán, were shot in the back in Avellaneda by Provincial Police officers. SIDE had produced intelligence reports stating that the overthrow of the national government had been openly advocated in piqueteros' assemblies, and that these were attended by the extremist group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).^[5] Phone conversations between minutes before the assassinations between a policeman implicated in the incident and the Undersecretary of Intelligence at the time, Oscar Rodríguez, proved SIDE involvement in the tragedy in subsequent trials.^[9]
Fallout from this incident was compounded by allegations made by Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner that SIDE personnel were spying on her husband, Santa Cruz Governor Néstor Kirchner, who had recently declared his intention to run for President the following year.^[5] These controversies, and Soria's own plans to run for Governor of the Province of Río Negro, prompted his resignation from SIDE in July. He was narrowly defeated in provincial elections in August 2003 by UCR candidate Miguel Saiz,^[10] though in elections held later in 2003, Soria narrowly won the election for mayor of the city of General Roca (the largest in the province).^[2] Duhalde and Soria continued to face charges in court related to the 2002 deaths. Soria declared at trial in 2005 that "democracy works with order, and we needed to establish order";^[11] both men were cleared of all charges.^[5]

Return to Río Negro

Soria was overwhelmingly reelected as mayor of General Roca in 2007, garnering 73% of the vote.^[2] He clinched the Justicialist Party nomination for Governor of Río Negro in 2011, and ran with the support of the Front for Victory (FpV) faction of the party despite his long-standing alliance with the FpV's main rival, Duhalde. Soria's principal opponent in the race, UCR nominee César Barbeito, also professed his support of the FpV's standard-bearer, President Cristina Kirchner. The president formally endorsed Soria despite their past differences, however, while maintaining her distance from both candidates.^[5] Soria was elected governor in September with 51% of the vote, besting Barbeito by nearly 14%.^[12]

Death

Soria died on January 1, 2012, during the new year celebrations with his family at his farm near General Roca. He was shot in the face with a .38 caliber weapon at around 5 am, and was moved immediately to a nearby hospital, where he died minutes later.^[13] The police didn't determine initially whether the death was caused by an accident or foul play; his wife was held for further questioning.^[13][14] He received a private funeral.^[13] His widow was charged with first-degree murder on January 19, 2012.^[15]
Vice-governor Alberto Weretilneck succeeded Soria as governor. Weretilneck considered calling new elections, despite provisions in the Constitution of Río Negro Province that would allow him to complete the remainder of Soria's term.^[13]

Tommy Mont, American college football coach and NFL player, died from heart failure he was 89.

Thomas Allison "Tommy" Mont was an American educator, university administrator, college football coach, and NFL player died from heart failure he was 89.. He played quarterback for the Washington Redskins as a back-up behind Sammy Baugh for three seasons. Mont served as the head football coach for three years at the University of Maryland and for eighteen years at DePauw University. He also served as the DePauw athletic director for fifteen years.

(June 20, 1922 – January 1, 2012) 

Early life

Mont was born in Mount Savage, Maryland in 1922. He attended Allegany High School in Cumberland, Maryland where he played football as a quarterback. In 1939, he led the team to the city championship.^[1]

College career

Mont meets William W. Skinner, Maryland's first quarterback and coach of the 1892 team.

Mont attended the University of Maryland where he played football as a quarterback in 1941 and 1942.^[2] In 1942, Clark Shaughnessy took over as Maryland head coach. In 1940 and 1941, Shaughnessy had coached at Stanford. There he installed a pass-oriented version of the T-formation and, in his first year, engineered a turnaround from a 1–7–1 record to a perfect 10–0 season and Pacific Coast Conference championship.^[3] While Maryland's head coach, Shaughnessy also worked concurrently as an advisor for the Washington Redskins, with that club and Maryland sharing the cost of his salary.^[4] Shaughnessy helped develop Mont into a high-quality quarterback.^[5] In 1942, with Mont under center, the Terrapins posted a 7–2 record.^[2] That year, Mont was named an honorable mention All-American and ranked as the number-three passer in the nation.^[1][6] Mont also played lacrosse for Maryland for the 1942 season.^[7]

Military service

Mont put his college career on hold in order to join the United States Army as an infantryman and served in the Second World War. In 1945, he coached the 3rd Infantry Division football team which won the 7th Army championship. After returning to the United States, he coached the basketball and football teams at Fort Benning, Georgia.^[8]

Return to college

After his military service, Mont returned to Maryland and played football for another season in 1946.^[2] That season, Shaughnessy, one-time Maryland head coach in 1942, also returned from Pittsburgh. Shaughnessy again worked part-time as an advisor for the Washington Redskins, and he had some of the Maryland players assist him. Under the arrangement, Mont and Vic Turyn reportedly even called some plays for the Redskins.^[4] Mont graduated from Maryland with a bachelor of science degree in 1947.^[8] He played a second season on the lacrosse team in 1948.^[7]

Professional playing career

Mont had been selected in the 12th round of the 1944 NFL Draft (114th overall) by the New York Giants.^[9][10] In 1947, he went to play for the Washington Redskins.^[10] He played as a back-up quarterback for three seasons, and at one point was the number-two behind the legendary Sammy Baugh.^[8] In his first season, he saw action in four games, and recorded one interception on defense with a seven-yard return.^[10]
In 1948, he played in 11 games including two starts. He recorded 12 completions on 28 attempts for 157 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had 11 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown. On defense, he had two interceptions for 21 yards. That season, he was the Redskins' second leading passer behind Baugh.^[10]
In 1949, he played in 12 games and made three of seven completions for 44 yards. He also recorded rushed 14 times for 75 yards and made eight receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

Coaching career

Early positions

In 1949, Mont assisted at the University of Chattanooga, where he helped install a T-formation offense. In 1950, he served as an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins.^[1]
Mont returned to his alma mater in 1951 to become the Maryland backfield coach under Jim Tatum, and he held that position through the 1955 season. During that time, he also worked with the U.S. Marine Corps' Parris Island football team, where he helped implement a split-T offense in 1954. Mont worked summers with the football team of the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City from 1953 to 1955. In 1955, he also worked for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. In December 1958, he was a coach for the Blue team in the Blue–Gray Football Classic.^[8]

Maryland

After Tatum resigned to coach at his own alma mater, North Carolina, Mont was appointed as his replacement in 1956.^[11] In his first season, Maryland was riddled with injuries and posted a disappointing 2–7–1 record.^[2][12] Mont had great difficulty recruiting to the same standard that his predecessor had,^[13] but managed to secure Rod Breedlove, a highly-touted guard prospect.^[12] Breedlove later went on to play eight years in the NFL and made a Pro Bowl appearance.
In 1957, the Terrapins improved to a 5–5 record. The highlight of the season was a game featuring Jim Tatum's return to College Park, Maryland. On October 19, at Byrd Stadium, Maryland met the North Carolina team led by their former head coach. The game also had in attendance Queen Elizabeth II who had expressed a wish to see her first game of American football. The Tar Heels were ranked 6th in the nation and possessed a 3–1 record. The Terrapins, on the other hand, were 1–3.^[14] In the first quarter, Maryland halfback Howard Dare fumbled and North Carolina linebacker Jack Lineberger recovered the ball on the Terrapins' 44-yard line. North Carolina was subsequently forced to punt, but recovered it at the Maryland 35. On the ensuing possession, Tar Heel halfback Daley Goff rushed 11 yards for a touchdown. In the third quarter, Maryland gained excellent field position when Goff received a bad punt snap and the Terps took over on the Carolina 38-yard line. Maryland quarterback Bob Rusevlyan later scored on a one-yard sneak. In the fourth quarter, halfback Ted Kershner broke away for an 81-yard touchdown run. Fullback Jim Joyce capped a 67-yard drive with a 13-yard rush for a score. With a final result of 21–7, the Maryland players carried Mont to the Queen and Prince Philip's box.^[15] Mont said it was a day that "I will revel in for the rest of my life."^[14]
In 1958, however, Maryland again backslided with a 4–6 record and Mont subsequently resigned.

DePauw

In 1959, Mont accepted a job as head coach and a professor of physical education at DePauw University.^[8] While there, he compiled a 67–94–4 record.^[16] In the rivalry with Wabash College, the Monon Bell Classic, Mont's teams posted a 12–5–1 record. He was twice bestowed most outstanding conference coach honors, including in 1967, when he was named the Indiana Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year.^[1][17]
In 1964, Mont earned a Master of Science degree from Indiana University.^[18] In 1973, he was inducted into the Maryland Sports Hall of Fame at the Hit and Run Club at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.^[1]

After football
