Dick Woehrle, who died Monday afternoon of colon cancer at 81, was easily one of
the most recognizable wrestling referees in history. In a time when the state
athletic commission generally assigned the arbiter in the ring, he worked in the
Northeast, in some of the biggest markets, for the biggest promotions, and with
the biggest names.

"In the '60s and '70s, he handled every big match
that was ever in New York, from Bruno to Pedro to Billy Graham, whenever there
was a title match or an important match, Vince McMahon Sr. always had him in
there. That tells you that he was the go-to guy," said veteran Ray Apollo.

Licensed in states such as Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, New Jersey,
District of Columbia and Maryland, Woehrle worked some big-league arenas. "When
Vince Sr. had a big, important match, it was Dick, especially the Spectrum and
the Baltimore Civic Center and the Cap Center in Washington," said his friend of
40 years, Davey O'Hannon.

Born April 1, 1930, Woehrle was a boxer
growing up, which led him into training boxers and refereeing boxing.

There came the time that Vince McMahon didn't have a referee and called
the commission, which sent over Woehrle.

"What the hell am I supposed to
do here? I don't know anything about this wrestling stuff. I'm a boxing
referee," Woehrle said.

"Well, they sent you, so you've got to get in
there and referee," replied McMahon.

Impressed, McMahon Sr. asked for
Woehrle on a regular basis.

"I think a lot of the no-nonsense part came
from breaking up boxers and pushing people around," said Apollo. "Dick was
always in great shape, he was always fit, he was always wiry and strong. He was
a middleweight."

Though he might have been assigned by the commissions,
Woehrle was no stranger to taking bumps for the good of the match.

"I
took so many bumps. I've been at least into the third row, going over the top,"
Woehrle joked at the 2011 Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame induction weekend in
Amsterdam, NY.

He told the story of once getting knocked over the top
rope by Ivan Putski. "My neck, I thought I broke it. They were trying to drag me
back into the dressing room. I said, 'Wait a minute, I've got to finish this
match.' I'm seeing stars every colour in the book and I'm hanging onto the drape
of the ring. All of a sudden I hear BOOM! And I reached up with my hands --
smack, smack, smack -- that was the end of the match, and I made it."

Baltimore was one of those cities that saw WWF and WCW action, so
Woehrle worked a lot of matches with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

"Ric Flair
would come over to me, and he'd talk to me and he'd say, 'Dick, here's what I'm
going to do. I'm going to nail this guy left and right in the corner. You keep
breaking me up. Then I'm going to hit you with a right hand, then you go
underneath me and you nail me with three or four shots -- you used to be a
boxer.'" recalled Woehrle. "I said, 'Geez, I can't do that. I'll get fired.'
'Nah, nah, no, don't worry about it.' So he's beating the hell out of this guy
in the corner and I'm breaking him up, pushing him back. Finally, he throws a
right hand, and I mean, it's coming. I hit him with a left-right, and he flies
over the top rope, right out into the crowd. I said to myself, 'This guy is
crazy.' He goes over to the timekeeper, grabs the hammer and he's coming in
after me. Meanwhile, the other wrestler comes over and stops it. But that's how
Ric Flair was. He could make you look like a million bucks."

Woehrle
said his philosophy was simple when he was asked to get involved: "I always told
the guys, 'Look it, when you hit me, hit me, I don't want to fake anything like
I'm flying this way and make myself look stupid. Hit me.'"

"Pretty Boy"
Larry Sharpe worked with Woehrle often. "He was a great referee. He liked to be
the babyface -- he didn't want any heat on himself," explained Sharpe. "He was
very helpful to new guys that were coming in
the business, he would help
them out, give them some suggestions while the match was going on."

Given his experience, Woehrle promoted some shows, including small shows
around the northeast and a few in the Caribbean, and helped share his experience
with young wrestlers, such as Reckless Youth (Tom Carter) and John Rambo.

Like the wrestlers he officiated, Woehrle faced numerous physical issues
once his career ended, including shoulder surgery, from hitting the mat so many
times, and bum knees from the boxing-like dancing on his feet -- "I'm a guy that
likes to keep moving."

For the last number of years, Woehrle was a
regular at fan fests around the northeast, happily chatting with fans who
remembered him, and seeing his old friends.

"We had such camaraderie. We
might not see each other for 10 years, but it's just like we left each other
yesterday," Woehrle said in May 2011.

With a Remco referee figure to
prove his worth, Woehrle always felt like he was somebody, said Sharpe,
launching into a story that Dick hated him sharing.

Sharpe was hired to
present a wrestling show for a Pathmark supermarket event, where all the
executives and bigwigs were there. In the battle royal, Sharpe's Monster Factory
students wore shirts representing Pathmark competitors, like Piggly Wiggly, and
it ended with James Karen, who played Mr. Pathmark in the ads, cleaning house
and winning the match, which had Woehrle as the referee.
"I know you. I
think I used to train you for boxing in Scranton. I never forget a face,"
Woehrle said.

"No, I never boxed before. You must have me mixed up with
somebody else," said the stranger.

Woehrle persisted, and the man said,
"Well, you are you?"

"Who am I? I'm Dick Woehrle! Who are you?"

"I'm Willie Mays."

The regulars around the northeast, like
O'Hannon, Johnny Rodz, Manny Soto and Pete Sanchez kept in touch with Woehrle,
and knew the end was near.

The initial prognosis for Woehrle's colon
cancer -- actually just outside his colon -- was good and the chemotherapy
seemed to work. A second occurrence resulted in a different version of chemo,
which left him "sick as could be," said O'Hannon. The doctors gave Woehrle the
option of continuing with treatment, for maybe another six months of life but
being really sick, or stopping and letting nature take its course. He chose the
latter option, dropping to under 100 pounds, and for the last week, hospice care
was provided at his New Jersey home.

O'Hannon said his friend had no
regrets. "He said to me, 'I had a really good life. I got to spend it in the
business. I met all kinds of people and went to different places. No
complaints.'"

Though the third man in the ring is often overlooked, they
were key to the show, concluded O'Hannon. "We used to have a saying that it
takes three to tango, and you never really knew what a good referee was until
you had a stinker. Dick made it so easy every night."

Funeral
arrangements are not known at this time.

Michael Hossack, a drummer best known for his work with the Doobie
Brothers, died Monday at his home in Dubois, Wyoming, after a battle with
cancer. He was 65.

According to the Lake County News, Hossack was
surrounded by family after living in the area for several years.

Born in
New Jersey, Hossack began playing drums in his pre-teen years before serving in
the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He planned to pursue a career in law
enforcement upon returning in 1969 when a friend coaxed him into auditioning for
California group Mourning Reign. The group soon disbanded, but in 1971 the
Doobie Brothers asked him to join their band where he would play alongside
drummer John Hartman.

"People always ask me if it's hard to play with
another drummer," Hossack is quoted as saying in his biography posted on the
band's site. "I tell them that after playing along with up to twelve other
drummers at once in the drum corps, this is a snap!"

Hossack performed on
the band's 1972 sophomore album, 'Toulouse Street,' which features hits such as
'Listen to the Music' and 'Jesus Is Just Alright.' He would also play on
additional signatures like 'Blackwater,' 'China Groove' and 'Long Train Runnin''
before leaving the group due to a grueling tour schedule in 1973. After
performing in a few groups in the mid-1970s, Hossack became a partner in Chateau
Recorders, a North Hollywood recording studio.

In 1987, Hossack was asked
to join the Doobie Brothers again for a string of dates benefiting Veterans of
the Vietnam War. The shows resulted in the group returning to the studio to
record new material.

In 2010, Hossack wrote a message on the band's site
explaining why he was not on the road with them. "I have had some problems
relating to injuries I received in an auto accident a couple of years ago,"
Hossack wrote. "I needed to take some time off to address these issues, and get
my health back on track. Things are improving, but it may be several months
before I'm able to get back to touring."

Last January, the group's
management made a statement with regards to Hossack's condition. "Michael
Hossack is improving slowly. He sends his regards to all our fans. He's still
working on health issues but getting better. We will keep you updated on a
regular basis."

The Doobie Brothers have yet to make a statement via
Facebook or Twitter on Hossack's passing ("currently absent on health leave" is
placed next to his bio link on the band's site). The group have a string of
dates slated for this spring before hitting the road with Chicago for a lengthy
co-headlining U.S. tour.

Hossack leaves behind a daughter and son.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.

Former New York Mets Hall-of-Fame catcher Gary Carter died Thursday at age
57."I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be
with Jesus today at 4:10 pm.," his daughter Kimmy Bloemers, wrote on the
family's website. "This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in
my entire life but I wanted you all to know. He is in heaven and has reunited
with his mom and dad. I believe with all my heart that dad had a STANDING
OVATION as he walked through the gates of heaven to be with Jesus."The
Carter family has granted ESPN access to the family website to inform the
public.Carter originally was diagnosed with four brain tumors last May.
In recent months, the family hoped that, with chemotherapy and other treatments,
the tumors were in check. But in January, the family revealed that doctors found
several new tumors on Carter's brain.Carter made a public appearace at
the beginning of the month, going to Opening Day for the college baseball team
he coached.Last spring, after experiencing headaches and forgetfulness,
Carter underwent an MRI that revealed four small tumors. Carter, an
11-time All Star, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 after
retiring in 1992. He finished his 19-year career with a .262 average, 324 home
runs and 1,225 RBIs."Gary's enthusiasm, giving spirit and infectious
smile will always be remembered in Cooperstown," said Jane Forbes Clark,
chairman of the board of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "Our
thoughts are with Sandy, Christy, Kimmie, DJ and the entire Carter family on
this very sad day."The effervescent Carter, nicknamed "Kid," is perhaps
best known for helping the New York Mets win the 1986 World Series. He had 24
homers and 105 RBIs that season, then drove in 11 runs in the
playoffs."When you think of the great baseball field generals, you think
Gary Carter," Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson said in a statement. "He ran
the game from behind the plate with strong leadership and passion. The Kid's
contribution to our national pastime is big, but his heart was even bigger.
We'll always remember his caring way, ever-present smile and strong devotion to
family, community and the Baseball Hall of Fame."

Original 'Night of the Living Dead' zombie Bill Hinzman dies at 75 By Gael
Fashingbauer Cooper He wasn't the first-ever movie zombie, but he
was the first to appear in George A. Romero's 1968 classic, "Night of the
Living Dead." Actor Bill Hinzman has died of cancer at 75, horror
site Dread Central is reporting. His character, dubbed the Graveyard Zombie, makes an appearance early in the film, staggering towards brother and sister Barbara and Johnny in a cemetery, and killing Johnny. The line, "They're coming to get you, Barbara" is famously delivered by Johnny just before Hinzman comes after the siblings. Other creatures called zombies had been depicted in film, but it was Romero who introduced the slow-walking, flesh-eating undead that we now think of when we hear the term. The movie is a cinema classic, and thousands of variously decaying zombies have attacked humans in films since then, but Hinzman was the first. Dread Central had high praise for Hinzman. "Afixture on the convention circuit, Bill was always there with a smile for fans, often
appearing in costume as the famed ghoul we all grew up with," site contributor Uncle Creepy (!) wrote. Hinzman later acted in other horror films, and wrote, produced, edited, directed and starred in 1988's "Flesh Eater," in which he appears to play the same zombie from "Night of the Living Dead." He continued to represent the film that made him famous, even answering questions at a Chicago production of "The Musical of the Living Dead."

NCIS star Mark Harmon's mother, actress and fashion designer Elyse Knox Harmon, passed away on Wednesday at her Los Angeles home surrounded by family. She was 94. A contract player who starred in close to 40 films for such studios and 20th Century Fox, Columbia and Universal, Knox played the lead opposite Lon Chaney Jr. in 1942's The Mummy's Tomb, worked with Abbott and Costello and in several Joe Palooka movies based on the famed comic strip. She was also a pin-up
girl during World War II, appearing in Yank magazine.Born in Hartford,
Connecticut, Knox studied fashion in Manhattan and pursued a career in fashion
design, modeling some of her own creations in Vogue magazine before her good
looks found Hollywood calling in the late '30s.Knox married football
star Tom Harmon in 1944, and her wedding dress was made from the silk of the
parachute that saved his life after his plane was shot down over China during
WWII. The couple settled in Los Angeles and had three children: Mark and his
older sisters Kristin and Kelly. Happily married for 46 years, Knox established
herself as an accomplished impressionist painter.In lieu of flowers, the
family asks that donations be sent to The Lange Foundation in honor of Knox's
enduring love for animals.

Comics artist John Severin has died, according to a statement from the family.
The Marvel and EC artist, known for titles including “Two-Fisted Tales” and “The
Incredible Hulk” was 90. Severin was also a major contributor to “Cracked” and
“MAD.” The New Jersey-born artist died at his Denver, Colorado home on Sunday.
John Severin illustrated Marvel titles including
"Sub-Mariner." Marvel Comics. Former Marvel Comics chairman and president
Stan Lee spoke about Severin in a statement from the family released at
www.comicsbeat.com. “He had an art style that was uniquely and
distinctly his own,” Lee said. “The minute you looked at his artwork you knew
you were looking at a John Severin illustration; it could be no one else.
Besides his inimitable style, there was a feeling of total authenticity to
whatever he drew, whether it was a Western, a crime story, a superhero saga or a
science fiction yarn. Not only was his penciling the very finest, but his
inking, too, had a distinctive Severin touch that made every strip he rendered
stand out like a winner.” In a more than 60-year career, Severin
illustrated comics for many of the major publishers. He was one of the five
cartoonists who founded “MAD,” and illustrated war comics including “Two Fisted
Tales” and “Frontline Combat” for EC Comics. For Marvel, Severin worked
as both a penciler and inker. Titles included “The Incredible Hulk,” “The
Sub-Mariner” and “Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandoes.” Read

Marion Mathie-Published Tuesday 14 February 2012 at 12:07 by Richard
Anthony BakerIn a long and varied career as a television actress, Marion
Mathie saved the best to last, playing She Who Must Be Obeyed, the fearsome wife
of the aging barrister, Horace Rumpole, in John Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey
(1987-1992). But her career was not purely devoted to television.Early
on, she appeared in theatres all over Britain - she was a member of the rep
company at Hornchurch in Essex and she turned her hand to two pantomimes at the Blackpool Opera House in 1953 and 1954.She made her television debut in
1956 in an adaptation of David Copperfield. Then came Giles Cooper’s comedy,
Liberty Hall (1958), No Love for Vicky (1962) and Roald Dahl’s Taste (1967), in
which she worked alongside Donald Pleasence and Leonard Rossiter.More
prestigious work came in the 1980s. She played the matron in the Arthur Lowe
sitcom, AJ Wentworth BA (1982), based on HF Ellis’ fictional diaries by a maths
teacher in a boys’ preparatory school. In 1985-86, she portrayed one of the
cultural snobs in Mapp and Lucia, adapted from EF Benson’s stories of life in
the seaside town of Tilling.She took over the role of Hilda Rumpole
after the original actress, Peggy Thorpe-Bates, retired through ill health.
Rumpole enjoyed being what he termed “an Old Bailey hack”. It was Hilda who had ambitions for him, urging him to try to be made a QC or a circuit judge. The
Stage praised her for her “menacing authority” in the role. Marion Mathie, who was born on February 6, 1925, died on January 20, aged 86. She is survived by her daughter, Martine. Her husband, the Old Vic actor, John Humphry,
whom she married in 1963, and her son, Christopher, predeceased her.http://www.thestage.co.uk/features/obituaries/feature.php/35242/marion-mathie

It's not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary
story: Brazil-based
"good girl artist" Al Rio has passed away this morning,
01/31/12, an
apparent suicide by hanging.


Al Rio, born Alvaro
Araújo Lourenço do Rio on 05/19/62, was raised in
Fortaleza, in the
northeast of Brazil. Al began his career in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, as an
artist in the early '90s, illustrating books
for a local English School.


After working as animation director at this same company, Al became
an
animator in Brazil for Disney, working on such properties as the
syndicated Aladdin animated series.


Upon joining the
comics-centric international art agency Glass House
Graphics in the
mid-'90s, Al began working for DC Comics, though his
"big break" came from
succeeding J. Scott Campbell on Wildstorm's Gen
13. From there, Al, best
known for his versatility and his ability of
drawing some of the sexiest
women in comics, went on to draw for
Marvel, Vertigo Press, Dark Horse,
Chaos! Comics, Avatar Press,
Crossgen, Zenescope, Image, and more ‹ drawing
titles such as his own
series Exposure, as well as Captain America,
Purgatori, Lady Death,
X-Men, New Mutants, Spider-Man, Vampirella, and Star
Wars, among many
others.


At the time of his death, Al Rio was
nearing completion of Fever Moon,
a graphic novel for Random House (Del
Rey), written by best-selling
authors Karen Marie Moning and David Lawrence,
for release this summer.


His Exposure property, which Al proudly
claimed was "the sexiest
supernatural story ever," has recently been
serialized on
exposure.keenspot.com, and a hardcover collection of Exposure
was
launched days ago on


ive>


(Contributions beyond
printing/production costs will be donated to Al
Rio's family.)


A
major fan of science-fiction, he working on a book collecting all the
aliens, spaceships, alien worlds and all sci-fi material he has created
over the years; he was also in the midst of creating two more books ‹
Al
Rio's How To Draw Girls and a definitive coffee table book of his
paintings,
illustrations and sketches, The Sexy Art of Al Rio.


A great artist,
Al Rio was also a great person, tutoring art students
and donating art to
worthy causes.


Al leaves behind three children: Rene, Adrielle, and
Isabel, and his
wife Zilda. His funeral will be held on Wednesday, February
1st, on
Cemitério São João Batista, in Fortaleza, Brazil.


"Few
could draw as well, adapting to so many styles so effortlessly, as
Al Rio,"
said David Campiti, his agent of many years. "We'd gotten
together several
weeks ago and were working hard on his projects, so
news of his death came
as quite s shock. He was a long-time friend
whose art was a great joy to me
and even inspired my wife's drawing
career. Generous and humble, he'll be
deeply missed."

behalf through
Kickstarter, and condolences may be sent to his family

Warren Lockhart dies at 71
Produced
Oscar-winning docu and Peanuts-related shows
By Variety Staff

Warren
Landry Lockhart, producer of the Oscar-winning documentary "Who Are the DeBolts?
(And Where Did They Get 19 Children?)" and part of the team who helped turn
Charles Schulz's Peanuts into ice-skating shows and record albums, died suddenly
in his Culver City office on Jan. 19. He was 71.
Lockhart was a writer and
producer of family-themed films, television specials and theatrical productions.

He began his showbiz career somewhat indirectly through his work at
United Airlines during the 1960s. At United he was in management marketing,
focusing on travel logistics for film and entertainment companies and
entertainers, such as Peter, Paul and Mary and Shipstads & Johnson Ice
Follies.

In 1968 Lockhart went to work for the Ice Follies, where he
devised the concept of bringing Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters to the
ice-skating show. Schulz introduced him to Lee Mendelson, producer of the
Peanuts television specials, and soon hired Lockhart as president of Charles
Schulz Creative Associates, managing the marketing and distribution of Peanuts
merchandise worldwide with United Features Syndicate. The company also produced
television, stage and film projects.

In 1973 Lockhart, with co-producers
Duane Bogie and Walt deFaria, developed an adaptation of Mary Norton children's
fantasy novel "The Borrowers" as a special for the "Hallmark Hall of Fame"
series, and Lockhart drew an Emmy nomination for the NBC telepic.

Lockhart was part of the writing team who produced "Snoopy! The
Musical," a sequel to the Broadway production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie
Brown."

He collaborated with Mendelson in 1976 on "Happy Anniversary,
Charlie Brown," which drew the Daytime Emmy for informational children's
special. Lockhart co-exec produced 1977's "The Mouse and His Child," an
adaptation of Russell Hoban's novel about two mechanical toy mice. In 1977 and
1978, he received Grammy nominations for best children's recording for his work
on "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Charlie Brown's All-Stars," respectively.

With co-producers John Korty and Dan McCann, Lockhart shared the 1978
Academy Award for documentary feature for "Who Are the DeBolts? (And Where Did
They Get 19 Kids?)," a film about a couple who built a unique family comprised
mostly of disabled children.

"Who Are the DeBolts?" was adapted for
television in 1979 and picked up an Emmy nomination for informational program.

Lockhart was born in Hollywood, Calif. His father and grandfather both
worked as sound technicians for the studios. He received his Bachelor of
Sciences degree from UC Berkeley.

He is survived by his wife, Linda; two
daughters and a son; and seven grandchildren.
