Three cheers for a funny fellow
Like his hapless Canadian hero, he often found himself in hilarious
situations
By Carol COOPER
Special to The Globe and Mail Thursday, June
12, 2003 - Page R9
Once in the middle of an interview at the Toronto airport, writer
Donald JACK left to fetch a document from his car. Notorious
for a sense of direction so poor he found it difficult to navigate
through a city park, let alone the airport's massive parking
lot, Mr. JACK took so long to find his vehicle that by the time
he returned the interviewers had gone.
Like Bartholomew Bandy, the hapless hero of The Bandy Papers,
Mr. JACK's eight-volume comic-novel series describing an Ottawa
Valley boy's adventures during both world wars and between, the
author often found himself in hilarious situations, made the
more so by his telling.
A three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for
Humour, Mr.
JACK died last week at his home in England. He was
Listeners were reduced to tears of laughter by his tales of construction
disasters while having a villa built in Spain; a house sale falling
through on closing day; and an aging bright yellow car named
Buttercup, whose sun roof shattered soon after it was searched
for drugs at the Spanish-French border, showering Mr.
JACK with
glass, insects and rust.
Once, while being toured with his daughter around the offices
of his publisher, McClelland and Stewart, Mr.
JACK entered the
boardroom and shouted with surprise. There on the carpet lay
a large amount of dog excrement left by an employee's pet. In
his Bandy-like way, the writer very nearly stepped into it.
"If you could choose one author out of the entire world who during
a visit to his publisher would stumble across this, it would
be Donald JACK," said Douglas
GIBSON, president and publisher
of McClelland and Stewart, who knew the writer for more than 30
years.
"Things would go wrong for Don, very seldom caused by himself,"
said Munroe
SCOTT, a close friend of more than 45 years. "He
would narrate all this stuff either in person or in a letter
and make it all hilarious, because he always saw, in retrospect
at any rate, the funny side of things. You'd be doubled up with
laughter."
Despite Mr.
JACK's incident-prone nature, it would be a mistake
to see Mr.
JACK as a buffoon, said Mr.
SCOTT, also a writer.
"He was enormously well read, erudite and could handle the language
with aplomb at many levels. He could make me feel like a Philistine."
Said author Austin
CLARKE, who was Mr.
JACK's neighbour for five
years during the 1960s. "He was a quiet, reserved, retiring kind
of man. You would never have known he was a writer."
Mr. JACK's
Leacock medals came for three volumes of The Bandy
Papers: Three Cheers for Me, in 1963, That's Me in the Middle,
in 1974 and
Me Bandy, You Cissie, in 1980. Published between
1963 and 1996, they still enjoy a loyal following, including
a Web site which draws mail from around the world. Six of the
eight volumes were recently reissued by McClelland and Stewart.
Drawn from Mr.
JACK's fascination with the First World War, the
rural people he met in the Ottawa Valley and his time in the
Royal Air Force, The Bandy Papers feature the blundering Bartholomew
Wolfe Bandy, who in the first volume, Three Cheers for Me, inadvertently
becomes a hero, despite capturing his own colonel by mistake.
Ensuing volumes follow Mr. Bandy's adventures through to the
Second World War. Although devastatingly funny, they also describe
war's horrors and the realities of the home front, and lampoon
war's leaders.
Mr. Bandy encounters and influences historical figures, such
as then British minister of defence Winston Churchill, and generously
offers him use of the altered Bandy phrase "blood, sweat, toil
and tears."
While best known for The Bandy Papers, Mr.
JACK wrote countless
documentary film scripts, stage, television and radio plays,
as well as two non-fiction books: the history of a Toronto radio
station, Sinc, Betty and the Morning Man, and another about medicine
in Canada, Rogues, Rebels and Geniuses.
His third play, The Canvas Barricade, won first prize in the
Stratford Shakespearean Playwriting Competition in 1960. Produced
in 1961, it was the first, and remains the only, original Canadian
play performed on the main stage of the Stratford Festival.
Mr. JACK, however, did not see much of its opening. He left the
auditorium for the lobby. "During the performance, we'd be aware
of a crack of light from a door opening slightly and a white
face would stare through, then vanish for a while, before another
door would open a crack, and the same apparition would fleetingly
appear," Mr. Scott said.
Born on December 6, 1924 in Radcliffe, Lancashire, England, Donald
Lamont JACK was one of four children of a British doctor and
a nurse from Prince Edward Island. After attending Bury Grammar
School in Lancashire and Marr College in Scotland, he gained
enough qualifications to attend London University.
While stationed in Germany with the Royal Air Force in the last
year of the Second World War, Mr.
JACK attempted short-story
writing, but thought he lacked talent. After his mother asked
him, "Isn't it about time you left home?" Mr.
JACK immigrated
to Canada in 1951.
Interspersed with jobs as a member of a surveying crew in Alberta
and a bank teller in Toronto, Mr.
JACK studied at the Canadian
Theatre
School in Toronto run by Sterndale
BENNETT.
There he
wrote two plays, one of which drew praise from theatre critic
Nathan COHEN and a job offer from a film Company. Mr.
COHEN later
wrote Mr. Scott, decrying Canadian theatre's "shameful treatment"
of Mr. JACK, which largely ignored him.
A theatrical background enhanced Mr.
JACK's writing, according
to Mr. Gibson. "His dialogue was terrific and his scene-setting
was excellent."
After leaving the school, with the encouragement of his wife,
Nancy, whom he married in 1952, Mr.
JACK worked in the script
department of Crawley Films in Ottawa. Two years later in 1955,
the company's head, Budge
CRAWLEY, let him go because he thought
Mr. JACK would never make a good writer.
A dry first year of freelancing followed, until in 1957 Mr.
JACK
sold the play version of his novelette Breakthrough, published
in Maclean's, to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television.
It became the first Canadian television play to be simultaneously
telecast to the United States.
He never looked back. By 1972, A Collection of Canadian Plays,
Vol. 1, which included Exit Muttering by Mr.
JACK, noted he had
written 40 television plays, 35 documentary film scripts, several
radio plays and four stage plays. The works included Royal Canadian
Navy and Canadian Armed Forces training films for the National
Film Board and often demanded a great deal of research.
Mr. JACK wrote with military discipline, beginning at 9 a.m.,
taking tea at 11 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., tea again at 3 p.m. and
finishing at 5 p.m. "All my life, I swear, that routine never
altered," said one of his daughters, Lulu
HILTON.
Persisting in writing drafts in pen and ink long before adopting
the typewriter and, much later, a word processor, Mr.
JACK often
developed storylines while walking. A 1959 Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation press release explains Mr.
JACK's dedication: "My
self-discipline is to keep reminding myself of how lucky I am
to be able to be the only thing I ever really wanted to be --
a writer."
During the early 1980s, Mr.
JACK and his wife returned to England
to be near their daughters who had emigrated there, and their
grandchildren. Mr.
JACK missed Canada's open spaces and its classless
society, and visited often.
At the time of his death, he was working on the ninth volume
of The Bandy Papers. He died on or about June 2 of a massive
stroke at his home in Telford, Shropshire, England. He leaves
his two daughters, Maren and Lulu, six grandchildren and one
great-grandchild, a brother and a sister. His wife Nancy died
in 1991.

Willard Adrian
JACKSON
By Andrew LINDELL,
Donna
MORRISON Friday,
March 7, 2003 - Page
A18
Engineer, adventurer, grandfather. Born July 19, 1912, in Sudbury,
Ontario Died February 8, in Toronto, of congestive heart failure,
aged 90.
Willard Adrian
JACKSON was cremated in a pine box, with no funeral,
arrangements you might think were for a man without family or
Friends. Yet, Willard was one of most loved men I've ever known,
deeply loved by his wife of 68 years, three daughters, eight
grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
Born the son of a funeral director, he did not believe in excess
or unnecessary extravagances and rituals, including funerals.
He called cars "necessary evils" and did not pretend to understand
the generation controlled by computers. His strong attitudes
were often offensively opinionated and even politically incorrect.
Still, what most warmed to in him was his belief in the simple
joys of life: family, love, and good old-fashioned hard work.
Willard lived a good life and a long one -- one longer than you
might expect after a life of work-related injuries and mishaps.
A plane crash in 1954 during Hurricane Hazel left him with a
torn ear, crushed left forearm and broken neck (he broke it twice
in his lifetime; his back once, in another incident), that put
him in a plaster cast from head to waist for six months. The
doctors told him he would likely be paralyzed. Helped by his
wife Jane by playing Scrabble for hours, forced to pick up the
tiny letter pieces with his mangled hand, he fully recovered.
A graduate of Queen's University science class of 1939, as a
civil engineer, Willard began his career working in the underground
mines, first with Inco and then at Falconbridge, both in Sudbury.
In 1940, he tried to join the war effort overseas, but wasn't
accepted because, as an engineer, he was needed in his own country
to help build airstrips in Goose Bay, Labrador. After the war,
he worked at Canadian Pacific Railway in Sudbury for five years.
He joined Clarke Steamship Co. of Montreal in the construction
department and was later lured to join Caswell Construction where
he helped build Highway 401. He left to set up his own business
in Toronto, Consul Consultants, where, as crane specialist, he
travelled all over North America investigating large construction
and mining accidents for insurance companies.
Willard was a master storyteller, and loved to tell tales of
his adventures hunting, building or travelling. He once had to
eat raw porcupine after his food and dry-match supply ran out
on a moose-hunting trip. He had a special place in his heart
for Canada's Arctic, where in 1978 he befriended many of the
local residents at his (now late) grand_son's wedding to (now)
federal Member of Parliament for Nunavut, Nancy
KARETAK-
LINDELL.
A week before Willard died, he was paid a visit by his longtime
friend from Iqaluit, Abraham. It was one of the final highlights
of his life.
My grandfather was an extraordinary male role model for seven
boys growing up in divorced marriages. He taught us to work hard
at everything we do. When we were teenagers, he had us blasting
rocks and felling trees to build roads at his farm in Lafontaine,
Ontario He was always our biggest fan, praising our accomplishments
and encouraging us to take risks into fields that filled our
hearts, not necessarily our wallets.
When he turned 90 last July, it became obvious that Willard himself
thought he was done. Living became a necessary evil. He became
crippled with arthritis and his breathing became very laboured.
In November, he called the entire family together for Christmas
day, knowing -- he told us -- it would be his last. With my video
camera rolling, I asked him what advice he could pass on. "Be
true to your values, " he said.
Andrew is Willard's grand_son. Andrew and his fiancée Donna collaborated
on this essay.

Dancer devoted career to Montreal company
Staff, Thursday, July 10, 2003 - Page R9

Linda STEARNS: 1937-2003
As ballet mistress and artistic director of the esteemed Montreal
company, she nurtured personality, flair and a risk-taking approach
to dance
By Paula CITRON
Wednesday,
August 6, 2003 - Page R5
In the cutthroat, competitive world of dance, Linda
STEARNS was
an anomaly. As artistic director of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens,
she never played games or held grudges. Whether good or bad news,
she bluntly told her dancers what they had to hear, and in return,
her open-door policy allowed them to vent their own feelings.
National
Ballet of Canada artistic director James
KUDELKA, who
spent almost a decade as a member of Les Grands Ballets, likens
her approach to wearing an invisible raincoat upon which unhappy
dancers spewed their venom. At the end of their tirades, she
would serenely remove the garment and say, "Now let's talk."
Linda STEARNS died at her home in Toronto on July 4, at age 65.
She was born into privilege on October 22, 1937. Her father,
Marshal, was an investment broker; her mother, Helen, was heavily
involved in charity work. The family lived in the posh Poplar
Plains area of central Toronto, where Ms.
STEARNS attended Branksome
Hall.
Despite their wealth, the
STEARNS children (Linda, Nora and Marshal)
were expected to earn their own livings. Helen
STEARNS had studied
dance in her youth, but a career was never an option. When eldest
daughter Linda showed a strong talent, history might have repeated
itself had not Marshal Sr. set aside his reservations after seeing
his daughter perform.
After graduating from high school, Ms.
STEARNS went to London
and New York for advanced training. It was the great Alexandra
Danilova, one of Ms.
STEARNS's
New
York teachers, who pointed
the young dancer in the direction of the upstart Les Grands Ballets
Canadiens. Ms.
STEARNS joined Les Grands in 1961, and was promoted
to soloist in 1964. In a Who's Who of Entertainment entry, Ms.
STEARNS was once listed as joining the company in 1861, and she
liked to joke that, at 103 years, she held the record for the
longest time spent in the corps de ballet. In fact, one of Ms.
STEARNS's hallmarks was her sense of humour, much of it at her
own expense.
Les Grands was known for taking dancers who did not necessarily
have perfect ballet bodies, but had personality and flair, a
policy Ms.
STEARNS continued during her own administration.
Although Ms.
STEARNS had very unballetic, low-arched feet, she
was a fine classical dancer. She excelled, however, in the dramatic
repertoire: Mother Courage in Richard Kuch's The Brood, or the
title role in Brydon Paige's Medea. In later years, while teaching
and coaching, Ms.
STEARNS wore high heels to conceal her hated
low arches -- while showing off her attractive ankles.
Her performing career was cut short in 1966 when artistic director
Ludmilla CHIRIAEFF recognized that Ms.
STEARNS would make a brilliant
ballet mistress, and by 1969, Ms.
STEARNS was exclusively in
the studio. In fact, giving up performing was one of the great
disappointments of her life, although she did in time acknowledge
that she had found her true destiny. Ms.
STEARNS's astonishingly
keen eye allowed her to single out, in a corps de ballet of moving
bodies, every limb that was out of position. She could also sing
every piece of music, which saved a lot of time, because she
didn't have to keep putting on the tape recorder. Because of
her intense musicality, Ms.
STEARNS also insisted that the dancers
not just be on the count, but fill every note with movement.
Ms. STEARNS loved playing with words -- she was a crossword-puzzle
addict, for example -- and gave the dancers nicknames, whether
they liked them or not. Catherine
LAFORTUNE was Katrink, Kathy
BIEVER was Little Frog, Rosemary
NEVILLE was Rosie Posie, Betsy
BARON was Boops, and Benjamin
HATCHER was Benjamino, to name
but a few. One who escaped this fate was Gioconda
BARBUTO, simply
because Ms.
STEARNS loved rolling out the word "G-I-O-C-O-N-D-A"
in its full Italian glory. The dancers, in turn, called her Lulubelle,
Mme. Gozonga and
La Stearnova or, if they were feeling tired,
cranky and hostile -- and were out of earshot -- Spoons (for
her non-arched feet) and even less flattering names. As reluctantly
as she became ballet mistress, Ms.
STEARNS became artistic director,
first as one of a triumvirate in 1978 with Danny
JACKSON and
Colin McINTYRE (when Les Grands and Brian
MacDONALD came to an
abrupt parting of the ways;) then with Jeanne
RENAUD in 1985
and finally on her own in 1987. She retired from Les Grands in
1989. Both Mr.
JACKSON and Mr.
McINTRYE still refer to Ms.
STEARNS
as the company's backbone.
These were the famous creative years that included the works
of Mr. KUDELKA, Paul Taylor, Lar Lubovitch, Nacho Duato and George
Balanchine. Les Grands toured the world performing one of the
most exciting and eclectic repertoires in ballet. It was a company
that nurtured dancers and choreographers, many of whom reflected
Ms. STEARNS's risk-taking, innovative esthetic.
She also had time to mentor choreographers outside the company,
including acclaimed solo artist Margie
GILLIS.
Her post-Grands
career included writing assessments for the Canada Council, setting
works on ballet companies, coaching figure skating, and most
recently, becoming ballet mistress for the Toronto-based Ballet
Jörgen. When she was diagnosed with both ovarian and breast cancer
two years ago, she continued her obligations to Ballet Jörgen
until she was no longer able, never letting the dancers know
how ill she was.
Ms. STEARNS loved huge dogs -- or what Ms.
GILLIS refers to as
mountains with fur -- and always had at least two. Her gardens
were magnificent, as was her cooking. Her generosity was legendary,
whether inviting 20 people for Christmas dinner, or hosting the
wedding reception for dancers Andrea
BOARDMAN and Jean-Hugues
ROCHETTE at her tastefully decorated Westmount home. After leaving
Montreal, whether, first, at her horse farm in Harrow, Ontario,
or at the one-room schoolhouse she lovingly renovated near Campbellville,
northwest of Toronto, former colleagues were always welcome.
She continued to keep in touch with her dancers, sending notes
in her beautiful, distinctive handwriting. Her love of sports
never left her, and after a hard day in the studio, she would
relax watching the hockey game. Religion also filled her postdance
life, with Toronto's Anglican Grace-Church-on-the-Hill at its
epicentre. Ms.
STEARNS was very discreet in her private life,
although another disappointment is that neither of two long relationships
resulted in marriage or children.
Ms. STEARNS was always ruthlessly self-critical, always striving
for perfection, never convinced she had rehearsed a work to its
full potential. As a result, she never made herself the centre
of her own story. Her homes, for example, did not contain photographs
glorifying the career of Linda
STEARNS.
Only at the end of her
days, as she faced death with the same grace with which she had
faced life, was she finally able to appreciate how many lives
she had touched, and accept her outstanding achievements with
Les
Grands
Ballets. Linde
HOWE-
BECK, former dance critic for
the Montreal Gazette, sums up Ms.
STEARNS perfectly when she
says that she was all about love -- for her Friends and family,
for life, but most of all, for dance.

Sculptor 'entirely original'
A wood carver from a young age who made many public works, he
was befriended by the Group of Seven and later carved their tombstone
epitaphs
By Bill GLADSTONE,
Special to The Globe and Mail Saturday, November
15, 2003 - Page F10
A Canadian sculptor who as a young man was adopted by the Group
of Seven has died in Toronto. E. B.
COX, who prided himself on
achieving artistic and commercial success without ever taking
a penny in government grants, was 89.
Mr. COX was a young associate, of some of the Group of Seven
with whom he went on northern sketching trips; A. Y.
JACKSON
once complimented him on his "good sense of form." He later carved
their tombstone epitaphs.
A wood carver from a young age, he came to master stone and even
the delicate art of faceting and carving precious stones; he
also tried metal, ceramics and glass. Because he liked to work
fast, he pioneered the use of power tools to quicken the chiselling
process, a technique that purists initially disdained as a form
of cheating.
According to one 1990s guide-book, he had "more sculpture on
view in Toronto's public places than any other single artist."
His 20-piece Garden of the Greek Gods, originally installed in
the 1950s on the Georgian Peaks near Collingwood, Ontario, was
later relocated to the far more populous grounds of the Canadian
National Exhibition near the Dufferin Gate. The only fully human
representation in the group, an 11-foot-high statue of Hercules,
was carved from a six-tonne piece of Indiana limestone -- "the
biggest piece of stone used by a sculptor in Canada," according
to friend and patron, Ken
SMITH.
Among his many other public works are a fish fountain for a courtyard
at the former Park Plaza Hotel, a stone bear for the Guild Inn,
a stone Orpheus for Victoria College, lavish countertops and
railings for historic bank buildings, a large seated lady for
McMaster University and whimsical creatures for a school yard
in Milton, Ontario
Having mastered big, he also excelled at small: He used to claim
that he invented coffee-table art. He carved little totem poles
to put himself through university, and became known for his small
bear sculptures, which he sold at popular prices, especially
at Christmas. "At university, I damned near starved," he would
explain. "I don't believe in starving artists."
Influenced by Iroquois and West Coast Haida art, he focused on
bears, beavers, birds and other animals as well as human torsos,
masks and heads; he often caught the animals in quirky fluid
poses and never failed to capture their essential natures. He
once crafted an all-Canadian limited-edition chess set for the
Hudson's Bay Co., with beavers as pawns, coureurs de bois as
knights, Indian princesses as queens, and so on. He was "the
great bridge between aboriginal art and modern art," according
to Mr. SMITH and others. A picture book about him, featuring
an essay by Gary Michael
DAULT, was published by Boston Mills
Press in 1999.
"He was entirely original," said Toronto sculptor Dora DE
PEDERY-
HUNT.
"Absolutely nobody else did what he did. What style he had was
entirely his. I call him a real good sculptor, a real good artist."
The younger of two brothers, Elford Bradley
COX was born on July
16, 1914, in Botha, Alberta., where his family made a short-lived
attempt at farming; he learned to carve by watching his maternal
grandfather whittle kindling by the fireside. He persisted in
sculpting even though his pious father was vehemently opposed
to the creation of "graven images," he told Toronto Life magazine
in 1997. The family returned to Bowmanville, Ontario, where E.
B. spent most of his childhood, and where his mother died suddenly
after an epileptic attack when her favoured son was a young teenager.
When it was time for him to go to university, "his father sent
him off with $5, a suitcase and a wish of good luck," said Kathy
SUTTON, the younger of his two daughters.
Studying languages at the University of Toronto from 1934 to
1938, Mr. COX was befriended by German professor and painter
Barker FAIRLEY, who introduced him to A. Y.
JACKSON,
Fred
VARLEY
and Arthur
LISMER of the Group of Seven.
Mr. COX started teaching languages at Upper Canada College, but
soon left to join the war effort as an intelligence officer,
interrogating prisoners of war in Europe.
Afterward, he resumed teaching at Upper Canada College, and devoted
part of a summer to a school canoe trip on the Mississauga River
the next summer he escorted a group of boys on an even more adventurous
trip down the Churchill River in the barren lands. "That was
just unheard-of in those years," recalled Terence A.
WARDROP,
who joined that expedition and became Mr.
COX's lifelong friend
and solicitor. "It was a big trip and it was almost historic
the rivers and some of the lakes were unmapped in 1948."
Quitting his teaching job in 1949, Mr.
COX married the former
Betty CAMPBELL, bought a farm near Palgrave, Ontario, and discovered
that he could survive as a full-time artist. (Although he considered
government subsidies poisonous, he once applied for a government
grant to study Canadian stones suitable for sculpting -- and
was turned down. "I did my stone research without their damn-fool
money," he told The Globe and Mail in 1970.) Moving to a rural
property in north Toronto and later to a Victorian house in eastern
Toronto, he separated from his wife but remained on excellent
terms with her and their daughters.
Being partial to pranks, he once purchased a canoe for his wife
as a gift and, to achieve maximum surprise, paddled it to the
dock at the family cottage in a rented disguise. Along with his
love of humour, Friends recall his sharp wit and his ability
to cut through social pretense. "He said he wanted his gravestone
to read, 'I told you I was sick,' " recalled art dealer John
INGRAM. "
That's what I remember about him -- his great sense
of humour and just what a wonderful compassionate guy he was.
He tried to give this air of being an old curmudgeon, but in
fact, he was anything but."
Becoming a mentor to many young artists, Mr.
COX generously shared
his tools and experience with them. "He didn't have much mentoring
when he was learning to be an artist -- people didn't help him
so he took the opposite tack," said his daughter Kathy.
Always enthusiastic and full of ideas, he was usually in his
workshop early in the morning -- and kept on working even after
losing his sight in his final years. His home was full of fine
sculpture and painting, including a portrait of Mr.
COX by Mr.
FAIRLEY that hung over the mantel. "It was a lovely place, and
by the time you got out of there, you were in a buying fever,"
Mr. SMITH recalled. "E.B. himself was part of the fun of buying
stuff. People were just charmed by the atmosphere he created."
He was also famously not particular about the prices he asked
from genuine admirers of his work.
As for his art's place in the world, he was confident it would
last, at least in the physical sense. "We'd have these long philosophical
talks about whether there was an afterlife and what legacy to
leave behind," friend Eric
CONROY recalled. "He'd say that his
stone works would be there long after Rembrandt's paintings had
crumbled."
E. B. COX died in Toronto on July 29, leaving his wife
Betty,
daughters Sally
SPROULE and Kathy
SUTTON, two grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren.
