WINNIPEG --  A lay missionary who devoted his life to northern aboriginal
people was presumed dead along with his two passengers after a plane crash
yesterday in northern Lake Winnipeg. An intensive search failed to find any
sign of the single-engine
     Cherokee 140 owned by pilot Milton Menzies. The plane went down around
10:30 a.m. after the pilot reported engine trouble, said RCMP Sgt. Rod
Keeping of Gypsumville, Man. He said Menzies transmitted that he was trying
to make Reindeer Island in the middle of the lake, about 350 km north of
Winnipeg. "The operator of a private airstrip received another message
shortly after," said Keeping.
"The pilot said he couldn't make it and was going down." Keeping said the
aircraft was en route from remote Poplar Point on the east side of the lake
to Fairford, Man., an aboriginal community on the west side. One of the
passengers was identified as Katy Mitchell of Poplar River, who was on her
way to visit her father. Her mother Mary Sinclair of Lake St. Martin First
Nation was accompanying her.
