- Page A18
Wife, mother, grandmother, nurse. Born October 18, 1943, in Dauphin,
Manitoba Died December 26, 2002 in Ottawa, of cancer, aged 59.
Sharon championed nurses and nursing. She was always on the lookout
for pioneers and heroes whom she visited, to know first-hand
what their work was like. Then she would tell the world.
On business in the Northwest Territories, she met with a nurse
in the community and learned she had established a Brownie group,
an effective way to create a healthier community for young girls.
She spent time with a "street nurse" in Toronto and told people
about the amazing nursing she had seen. Sharon noticed a Canadian
Living magazine contest and submitted an essay on the contribution
of nursing sisters. Hers was a winning entry and the prize was
a tulip garden planted in front of the Canadian Nurses Association
to honour the nursing sisters.
In becoming a nurse, Sharon was following in her mother's footsteps.
Sharon graduated from Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg and began
her practice as a labour and delivery nurse. After moving to
Montreal, Sharon completed both her Bachelor of Nursing and a
graduate degree in counselling psychology. Returning to school
even while caring for four small children -- awakened in her
the understanding of nursing's vast possibilities and her commitment
to the profession.
For more than 10 years, Sharon taught nursing at John Abbott
College in Montreal. She was a role model of nursing and teaching
at its best. One patient, a woman in the final stages of multiple
sclerosis, was considered difficult by staff but not by Sharon.
Sharon recognized that this woman was a talented storyteller
who dreamed of writing a children's story. Sharon helped her
realize her dream by listening to the story, writing it down
and finding a way to have it published. The woman lived to see
her story in print.
In 1992, Sharon joined the Canadian Nurses Association in Ottawa,
in time becoming the director of nursing policy. At the national
level, she was alert to the impact nursing can have and was a
ray of hope at a difficult time. She didn't shy away from tackling
the hard issues (such as the role of the nurse practitioner)
for which consensus needed to be built across the country. Sharon's
influence extended beyond Canada. Twice she visited the Ethiopian
Nurses Association. The Ethiopian Nurses Association president
wrote: "She was like a mother who was nurturing our association
to stand on its own feet."
She was a mentor to many and revelled in the achievements of
others -- completing a course, having an article published, giving
up smoking or having a baby. A firm believer in having fun at
work, Sharon convened occasional meetings at a neighbourhood
coffee shop which she dubbed the "Elgin Street office." At work,
Sharon would often say: "I've got to get a life." This was frequently
followed by: "Jack [her husband] has a life, and I don't." And
even sometimes by: "Jack's having more fun than I am." We always
chuckled: We knew and Sharon knew that she was enjoying a truly
wonderful life both at work and beyond.
She showed how to balance work and personal goals. Regardless
of what was happening at work, she made it clear that the moment
a new grandchild was born (there were seven) she was gone. Cottage
time with her husband, their four children and grandchildren
was sacrosanct.
During her illness, Sharon continued to give us lessons in living.
When she left work on sick leave, she spoke openly about her
cancer and informed her co-workers that she was going out to
do some "undercover" work on the health-care system. Through
her final days, with humour and grace, she reminded us of the
power of love, the importance of family and the meaning faith
can give to life.
Barbara and Nora are Sharon's Friends.

Peter
George
Raoul
CAMPBELL
By Richard
NIELSEN
Monday,
May 19, 2003 - Page A14
Diplomat, broadcaster, friend. Born February 22, 1916, in Dublin,
Ireland. Died March 23 in Toronto, of a stroke, aged 87.
Peter Campbell had three distinguished careers: in war, in diplomacy,
and in broadcasting, with a short epilogue in education.
He received his primary education in England (his parents emigrated
when he was 12) and
in Canada. He was a scholarship-winning graduate
of University of Toronto Schools, and proud all his life of the
fine notices he received there as Lady Macbeth.
He got his B.A. from the University of Toronto where he was chess
champion and won a scholarship to Harvard where he completed
his M.A. in Classical Studies.
After Harvard, Peter joined the Royal Canadian Navy, serving
in the North Atlantic, Britain and at the Normandy invasion where
he commanded the leading large-troop carrier that took Canadians
to Juno Beach. He spent most of his war as an officer on the
corvette Eyebright.
His war service stayed with him, making him at ease with people
with backgrounds very different than his own. Peter's highest
praise was that someone had given a "sturdy" performance. Sturdiness
was the quality he most admired, and that, I suspect, came from
the demands of a bleak and threatening North Atlantic in the
most unglamorous and unthreatening of "war" ships, the corvette.
But if the Navy demanded "sturdiness", the External Affairs Department,
which he joined in 1946, rewarded brilliance. Peter
CAMPBELL
served with distinction in the Philippines, Washington and the
Far East. While in Laos he is credited with having played an
important role in the negotiation of the Laos agreement that
successfully prevented Laos from becoming involved in the Vietnam
War. There, while not yet 40, he achieved the rank of Ambassador
as Canadian head of the International Supervisory Commission.
As usual, Peter's methods were unorthodox. The Paris daily Le
Monde, reported in detail on a party at the Canadian Embassy,
where a grand hall had been cleared of furniture so that two
nets ("cages," I think, was the translation of the word used
by Le Monde), could be placed at opposite ends of the room so
that the guests could play hockey with the sticks and "rondelle"
recently arrived from Ottawa "at the Ambassador's request...
The game was a huge success but the many minor injuries sustained
would probably prevent it from being widely imitated," Le Monde
lamented.
In 1959, Peter joined Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a
program organizer. He would rise to be head of the public affairs
department. At the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, sturdiness
and brilliance mellowed into judgment. His specialty was foreign
affairs, but his style as a supervisor encouraged creativity
as well as self-discipline.
When his department was amalgamated with the news department,
bringing to an end, some would say, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's distinguished role as a forum for Canadian opinion,
he became responsible for Broadcast Policy and Standards. He
was kept on in that capacity even after his official retirement.
He also held a teaching position at York. There, he stimulated
a sense of responsibility among students of broadcasting and
film, and nothing in his life gave him as much satisfaction as
the Honorary Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa) awarded him on
June 15, 1998.
On that day, he ended his address with the thought that "without
passion and a lively critical sense, the spirit is dormant."
Peter's spirit remained "sturdy" through the whole of his 87
very productive years and his mind remained alert and his chess
game formidable. As the Buddhists say, he was "a joyful presence
amidst the sorrows of the world."
Richard NIELSEN was a friend and colleague of Peter
CAMPBELL.

He founded Readers' Club of Canada
Nationalist visionary struggled financially to publish Canadian
writers
By Carol COOPER
Special to The Globe and Mail Tuesday, April
22, 2003 - Page R7
In the early 1960s, when writers asked Peter and Carol
MARTIN
where to publish their manuscripts on Canada, the couple realized
how few choices there were. Inspired, the Martins, both voracious
readers, staunch nationalists and founders of the Readers' Club
of Canada, decided to start their own press. In 1965, Peter Martin
Associates came into being. Last month, Peter
MARTIN died of
lung cancer in Ottawa.
In an industry overshadowed by American companies, Peter
MARTIN
Associates was among the first in a wave of independent publishing
houses to open during a time of rising Canadian nationalism.
Launched in a downtown Toronto basement on a shoestring budget,
skeleton staff, idealism and enthusiasm, the company flew by
the seat of its pants. Its employees were often young and new
to the business. But many, including Peter
CARVER,
Michael
SOLOMON
and Valerie
WYATT, went on to become Canadian mainstays.
"It really was a time of Canadian nationalism and those of us
who believed in that cause could see what Peter and Carol were
doing," said Ms.
WYATT, a children's editor who spent four years
with the company in the seventies.
During the 16 years before its sale in 1981, Peter Martin Associates
published approximately 170 works, mainly non-fiction. Its presses
put out I, Nuligak, the autobiography of an Inuit man; The Boyd
Gang by Marjorie
LAMB and Barry
PEARSON;
Trapping is My Life
by John TETSO; and the Handbook of Canadian Film by Eleanor
BEATTIE.
Others who came through their doors included Hugh
HOOD,
Robert
FULFORD, John Robert
COLOMBO, Douglas
FETHERLING and Mary Alice
DOWNIE -- all to have their works published.
Started with small amounts of seed money from private investors
and no government funding, Peter Martin Associates constantly
struggled financially. At one point, for a bit of extra cash,
the office became the designated nuclear-fallout shelter for
the street. Pat
DACEY, once the firm's book designer, lugged
suitcases of books up the street to sell at Britnell's bookstore
with summer employee Bronwyn
DRAINIE.
Working at Peter Martin Associates was always fun, Ms.
WYATT
said. "You went in to work happy and you stayed happy all day."
Still, in a time when Canadian works received little recognition,
she remembers finding it difficult to get media interviews for
the author of Martin-published book.
Yet another title caused trouble with its subject. The company
was putting out a collection of previously published sayings
of former prime minister John
DIEFENBAKER, called I Never Say
Anything Provocative, edited by Margaret
WENTE. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER
heard about the project, called Mr.
MARTIN and threatened to
sue. Mr. MARTIN stood firm.
"He handled it with such élan," said writer Tim
WYNNE-
JONES,
then in the art department. "He was suitably dutiful, but not
in awe. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER was just over the top, as was his wont."
The book went to press and Mr.
DIEFENBAKER did not go to court.
Once listed along with Peter
GZOWSKI in a Maclean's magazine
article on "Young Men to Watch," Mr.
MARTIN was born on April
26, 1934 in Ottawa to a dentist father and a mother who drove
an ambulance in the First World War. The younger of two sons,
he attended Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario and
the University of Toronto, where he earned a degree in philosophy.
During a year in Ottawa as the president of the National Federation
of University Students, Mr.
MARTIN met his first wife
Carol.
They married in 1956 and moved to Toronto. Three years later,
they founded the Readers' Club in Featuring one Canadian book
a month, it distributed works by Mordecai
RICHLER,
Irving
LAYTON,
Morley CALLAGHAN and Brian
MOORE among others, and supplied its
members with coupons. While continuing to run the Readers' Club
(sold in 1978 to Saturday Night Magazine and closed in 1981),
the MARTINs started Peter Martin Associates.
Throughout his career, Mr.
MARTIN spoke out for Canadian publishing.
Alarmed by the sale of Ryerson Press and Gage Educational Press
in 1970 to American firms, he called a meeting of publishers
to discuss problems in the industry. Named the Independent Publishers
Association, the group started in 1971 with 16 members and with
Mr. MARTIN as its first president. In 1976, it was renamed the
Association of Canadian Publishers and continues today with 140
members. As a result of the group's efforts, Canadian publishing
began to receive federal and provincial funding.
In the late 1970s, the
MARTINs went their separate ways. Afterward,
Mr. MARTIN published a small newspaper, The Downtowner, and owned
a cookbook store with his second wife, Maggie
NIEMI. In 1983,
they moved near Sudbury, Ontario, where Mr.
MARTIN did freelance
book and theatre reviews, then moved to Ottawa in 1985 to work
as president for Balmuir Books, publisher of the magazine International
Perspectives and consulting editor for the University of Ottawa
Press.
After a spinal-cord injury in 1997, Mr.
MARTIN was left a quadriplegic,
except for limited use of his left arm. Even so, he remained
active, maintained a heavy e-mail correspondence and spent time
in the park reading while seated in a bright-yellow wheelchair.
Mr. MARTIN leaves his children Pamela, Christopher and Jeremy
and his wife
Maggie
NIEMI. He died on March 15.
