CUNDALL o@ca.on.simcoe_county.barrie.the_barrie_examiner 2005-12-10 published
Grisly murder
Barrie woman stabbed more than 30 times in Ottawa home
By Tobi COHEN,
Special to the Examiner, Saturday, December 10,
Ottawa Stabbed more than 30 times in the face, neck, chest and
back, Barrie native Kleigh
CUNDALL had little chance for survival
but that didnt stop neighbours, police and paramedics from trying.
One neighbour who lives across the road from the brown brick
house on Queen Victoria St. where the former Eastview Secondary
School student has lived for the last two years was returning
home Thursday evening when he saw the tenants from the upper
apartment pounding on the door to the 21-year-olds basement apartment.
I ran right over. They called for help. They were frantic, he
said reluctantly, unwilling to give his name. I was there before
the cops. We just couldnt get in to help her.
Police said one of the neighbours had managed to get inside the
home and saw a man stabbing
CUNDALL before fleeing the apartment
to dial 911 around 5: 31 p.m.
When he returned, the door was locked and it wasnt until police
arrived five minutes later and bashed down the cedar door with
their own body weight that anyone could get inside.
The wooden door frame was still lying on the ground covered in
snow yesterday. The jagged broken upper window of the door was
left untouched for the forensic team to examine despite the landlords
request to board it up. A blue Hyundai Accent remained parked
in the driveway of the taped off New Edinburgh bungalow.
Ottawa police Sgt. Ron
BOS said the woman had been on the phone
with her boyfriend when a knife-wielding man arrived at her home.
She'd put down the phone to answer the door when, moments later,
her piecing screams prompted her boyfriend to hang up and dial
A police officer and paramedics attempted cardio-pulmonary resuscitation,
but CUNDALL had lost enormous amounts of blood and was pronounced
dead upon arriving at the Ottawa Hospitals Civic campus.
The man was arrested at gunpoint without incident and led to
the front of the house.
They had him up against a car, said another neighbour, noting
she couldnt make out his features.
The upstairs tenants were seen leaving their home late Thursday
with packed bags.
Taken to the Elgin St. cell block, police said the man was later
rushed to the Ottawa Hospitals General campus shortly after 1
a.m. after overdosing on pills. Its believed he took the pills
prior to the incident.
Initially in the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition, the
suspect is now expected to live and be released within three
to five days.
Charges will likely be laid against 21-year-old Anthony
ROACH,
also of Barrie, once hes released from hospital.

Simcoe County student murdered at her Ottawa apartment
Funeral Services for a murdered Oro Station woman are set for
Thursday afternoon.
K'Leigh Krissanne
CUNDALL, 21, was on the phone with her boyfriend
last Thursday, when she stopped the conversation to answer a
knock at the door of her Ottawa basement apartment.
Waiting at the door was a man with a knife, who stabbed her 20
times. A man was arrested at the scene, but was hospitalized
soon after and has not formally been charged. He was expected
to be discharged either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Reports have surfaced that the assailant was a young man
CUNDALL
had known since public school, but police in the nation's capital
have not yet confirmed that.
Cundall was a biochemistry student at the University of Ottawa.
Funeral services are scheduled for 3 p.m. at the Steckley-Gooderham
Funeral Home at Minet's Point Road and Yonge Street in Barrie.

Oro woman stabbed to death
University student attacked in Ottawa apartment
By Andrew SEYMOUR,
Saturday,
December 10, 2005
Ottawa A 21-year-old Oro Station woman studying at the University
of Ottawa was stabbed to death after answering the door to her
basement apartment around 5: 30 p.m. Thursday.
Kleigh CUNDALL, who was on the phone with her boyfriend at the
time, put the phone down to go to the door and was attacked by
a knife-wielding assailant.
Hearing her screams over the phone,
CUNDALL's panicked boyfriend
immediately hung up and called 911, said Ottawa police Sgt. Ron
BOS.
CUNDALL's upstairs neighbour, hearing the screams, came down
to see what was happening, only to discover the man still stabbing
her. The neighbour retreated from the scene and dialled 911.
Police officers who raced to the house on Queen Victoria Street
kicked down the front door, guns drawn. Inside the apartment,
they found
CUNDALL who had been stabbed 20 times in the neck,
chest and back and her alleged attacker.
Police said they believed the two knew each other.
CUNDALL, who had no vital signs when paramedics arrived, was
later pronounced dead at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital.
Police arrested Anthony
ROACH, 21, of Barrie at the scene. He
was moved to the same hospital, where he remained yesterday under
police guard.
Police said
ROACH apparently overdosed on Aspirin, and possibly
other drugs, after
CUNDALL was stabbed and before officers arrived
on the scene.
Major crime detectives have yet to lay any charges against
ROACH,
instead waiting until he is released from hospital. He is expected
to recover from the overdose.
CUNDALL was a fourth-year biochemistry student who planned to
attend medical school and become a general practitioner, her
friend Lyndsay
BUEHLER said Thursday night.
She had an amazing future ahead of her, she said.
BUEHLER, a member of the university-based Ottawa Christian Fellowship,
said CUNDALL had been a member of the group for at least three
years.
BUEHLER said
CUNDALL loved curling, which she would teach to
others in the school group of about 30 members.
I knew her as a very friendly person who was quiet, but willing
to talk to whoever was there, she said, stunned by the news.
Neighbours also said they were shocked. A couple who lives across
the street said they would often see
CUNDALL coming and going
to school.
They said she rented the apartment for the past two years.
We knew she was living alone, and we said to her one time, If
you ever need anything, give us a call, said Rick
FINDLAY.
She looked like a real sweetheart, added Ida
FINDLAY.
She was
always quiet
Another neighbour, Miriam
FARBIASZ, arrived home around 8: 30
p.m. and heard the news.
Im just horrified. Shes only been here for a few years now, and
she certainly has been the nicest of neighbours. She was very
quiet, and seemed like a sensible young lady.
CUNDALLs boyfriend, Joshua
FLETCHER, was exiting Highway 417
in Ottawa and talking to her as he made his way through traffic
en route to her apartment when all hell broke loose at the other
end of the line.
He told his father
CUNDALL heard someone at her door and asked
her boyfriend to hang on just a minute while she went to see
who it was.
The next thing he heard was his girlfriends shrieks as her attacker
flailed at her with a knife.
And then he lost the connection.
Now frantic, the man repeatedly hit redial on his cellphone,
hoping CUNDALL would pick up and tell him what was happening.
He called 911 and drove to the apartment, where he found several
police cars.
The only thing that matters to me right now is that we help Joshua
in the grieving process, said his father, Bob
FLETCHER, yesterday.
Kleigh's parents are grieving, everyone is grieving, he said.
Life will never be the same for anyone associated with this.

Ottawa -- A young man is grieving the death of his 21-year-old

home.
Police believe an ex-boyfriend killed K'Leigh

FLETCHER was talking to
CUNDALL on his cellphone and turning

Man held in wife's death
The trucker is charged with murder in the death of Lois
MORDUE
of Woodstock.
By Jon WILLING,
Special to The Free Press
Woodstock -- A Woodstock trucker is charged with second-degree
murder after his estranged wife's body was found in her home
Monday.
The homicide probe is the city's first in nearly two years.
The body of Lois
MORDUE, 59, a Woodstock hospital worker, was
found by an officer on the main floor of her one-storey home
at 17 Wendy Calder Pl. about 9: 30 p.m., police said.
Police have not said in what condition the body was found.
The news took neighbours aback on the small street, where
MORDUE
has lived since late last year.
"It's the perfect street," one woman said.
Police went to the home after they were called about a distraught
man spotted near railway tracks in the area.
Erland Wallace
MORDUE, 57, the woman's husband, was charged yesterday
and briefly appeared in court before being remanded in police
custody.
He's to appear in court again, through a video linkup from detention,
on Friday.
Investigators are still trying to determine how
MORDUE died,
said Oxford Community police Chief Ron Fraser.
MORDUE was an employee at Woodstock General Hospital.
She had worked in the hospital's health records department for
five years, said hospital vice-president Bruce
CUNNINGHAM.
"Naturally, it was a shock for the staff to hear the news of
a colleague," he said.
Two police cruisers were parked in front of the woman's home
yesterday.
"She was a great person," said one neighbourhood resident, noting
the woman has an adult son and a daughter who lives on a nearby
street.
An officer confirmed police had a previous "dealing" involving
the woman's address, but wouldn't elaborate.
MORDUE had lived by herself in the home, neighbours said.
"She was just a sweetheart," one neighbour said.
On the other side of the city, on Walter Street, neighbours of
Erland MORDUE couldn't believe he's accused of murder.
"I'm just totally shocked," said Kathy
MRYCHKO, adding
MORDUE
drives a truck for a local carrier and often worked.
"When he was here, you couldn't have a better neighbour," she
said.

Bob McADOREY,
Broadcaster: 1935-2005
Deejay who helped determine what Toronto's youth listened to
in the sixties went on to enjoy a 27-year run as a popular and
irreverent figure on Global television
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, February
9, 2005 - Page S9
Toronto -- If you knew Peggy Sue, you knew Bob
McADOREY.
That's
because, with his pile of curly hair and horn-rimmed glasses,
the Toronto disc jockey was a ringer for Buddy Holly, the songwriter
and singer from Texas whose song was a hit in 1959. The two men
were born 10 months apart --
McADOREY in 1935, Holly in 1936
and actually met in the mid-1950s when Mr.
McADOREY was a
disc jockey in Guelph, Ontario, and the singer was on a tour
of Canada.
"His job was to introduce Buddy Holly at a concert at Kitchener.
When he went on stage, the crowd went wild, and Bob though 'Gee,
I didn't know I was this popular,' " remembered his sister Pat
RUSSELL. "Of course, they thought he was Buddy Holly."
For decades, Mr.
McADOREY was the entertainment commentator on
Global Television; he retired less than five years ago. But in
an earlier era, he was a household name in Southern Ontario.
In 1960, just a few months after Buddy Holly died in a plane
crash in 1959, his look-alike joined Toronto's
CHUM.
Almost overnight,
Bob McADOREY became the top disc jockey at
CHUM, the No. 1 rock
station in the country. He was astonished when the station paid
him what he was asking for -- $7,200 a year (about $50,000 in
today's money, according to the Bank of Canada's inflation calculator).
"Bob McADOREY, whose face is as well known in Toronto as Mayor
Givens, has the most power to dictate what pop music Ontario
teens listen to," wrote the Toronto Telegram in 1966.
Not only was he the on-air man in the key 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. slot,
he was also the music director. He chose the records the other
six disc jockeys played. He and the other disc jockeys decided
on CHUM's
Top 10, which sent kids to record stores to buy records
with a big hole in the middle and a song on each side. They spun
at 45 revolutions a minute and were called 45s.
"He alone commands what goes on the hit parade in Canada," wrote
The
Globe's
Blake
KIRBY in 1968. "Middle-aged squares who run
record stores use the
CHUM chart, the weekly list of what
McADOREY
is playing and plugging as a buying guide."
Along the way, he shared the footlights with such big-name visitors
as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
The CHUM hit parade made records such as The Unicorn by the Irish
Rovers. Mr.
McADOREY, a sentimental Irish-Canadian, pushed the
record, which sold 140,000 copies in Canada and a million in
the United States. But he didn't like everything on the
CHUM
chart. It was a business, after all.
"We're playing records here which I just can't bear to listen
to, but I wouldn't let that influence what goes on the air,"
Mr. McADOREY once told The Globe and Mail. His sister said that
when he went home after work, he was so sick of rock 'n' roll
that he put earphones on and listened to classical music.
Like many successful big-city disc jockeys, Mr.
McADOREY also
ran dances on the weekends -- events with such names as Bob McAdorey's
Canadian Bandstand or Canadian Hopville. He and a couple of other
disc jockeys owned a company called Teen Scene Ltd., which put
on dances in towns all over Southern Ontario.
After a long spell on
CHUM,
Bob
McADOREY either was too old --
he was well into his 30s -- or too tired, and so he suddenly
found himself fired. Unlike the regular corporate world, where
people resign, in radio they are just plain sacked. Disc jockeys
almost wear it as a badge of honour.
"There are no hard feelings," he told an entertainment writer
in 1972 after he had been sacked from
CFTR following a stint
at CFGM. "I was told that it was either the station's new music-and-contests
format or me." Within days, he had rejoined radio station
CFGM.
A few years later, he morphed into television. No one told him
that radio types, from the hot side of the Marshall McLuhan equation,
are not supposed to be able to make the switch to the cool world
of television. He perched on his stool in 1973 and performed
for about 27 years.
Bob McADOREY was born within earshot of the Niagara Falls. His
father worked as a machinist on the railway and the whole family
lived near both the tracks and the roundhouse at Niagara Falls,
Ontario
For the rest of his life, Mr.
McADOREY maintained a love
affair with trains and rode them at every opportunity.
He went to high school at Stamford Collegiate. An Irish Catholic,
he was one of two non-Protestants in the class. The other was
Barbara FRUM, later the host of The Journal and
As It Happens
on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The two would spend the
religious class in another room, enjoying their time off.
In Grade 12, Mr.
McADOREY started work at the local radio station,
doing a program in the early morning before class. "One day,
the station manager told me to go on air and do the play-by-play
of a local baseball game," he told the Toronto Star in 2000.
"I didn't know the players' names and I didn't know much about
baseball, so I sat in the bleachers and interviewed the spectators
and it seemed to work."
After that, he was hooked. For a time, he worked all over --
including radio station
CJDC in remote Dawson's Creek, British
Columbia
Even then, he was fairly outrageous. "
CJDC had access
to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation feeds," he said in 2000.
"But nobody monitored us, so we sold everything -- the one o'clock
time signal to a jewellery store, the Queen's Christmas Message
brought to you by Sammy's Bar and Grill."
But it was soon after he had moved to Guelph, Ontario, that things
really began to happen and he hit the big time at the age of
24 by working for
CHUM.
Though he may have been at the top of the pop game in the Toronto
of the sixties, he also became a national figure at Global as
it expanded from a base in Southern Ontario to become the country's
third network. He never applied for a job in television, it was
just chance.
Bill CUNNINGHAM, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation foreign
correspondent brought in to run Global News, hired him after
he saw him speak during a tour of the new television station.
At the time, Mr.
McADOREY was working for Alan
SLAIGHT, a prescient
broadcaster who had run
CHUM, bought
CFGM and was one of the
early owners of Global. Mr.
CUNNINGHAM's plan was to lighten
up the newscast and hire a kind of humourist-commentator. Thus,
Mr. McADOREY covered entertainment and did light pieces for the
newscast, heading out with a cameraman to find what he could.
Once, during an Air Canada strike, he drifted out to Toronto's
Pearson International Airport and happened to find Terminal 2
entirely deserted. The scene made irresistible camera fodder.
The pair had time to erect an impromptu bowling alley and roll
a few balls before the party was broken up by patrolling policemen.
The show was an enduring success. It helped that Mr.
McADOREY
was good-looking, possessed a great voice and was totally unaffected
and unpretentious. Behind the scenes, though, Global was in turmoil
and not just financially.
The network kept trying to reinvent itself. One idea was to bring
in an untried newsreader, Suzanne
PERRY, who was one of Pierre
TRUDEAU's press aides and whose son, Matthew
PERRY, went on to
fame in the sitcom Friends. Sadly, Ms.
PERRY was put on air before
she was ready and that experiment failed.
A short while afterward, the network tried something called News
at Noon, with Bob
McADOREY doing entertainment, Mike
ANSCOMBE
the sports, and John
DAWE, business. The three of them joked,
made fun of each other, and did and said things you weren't supposed
to see on television. All of a sudden, they had a huge audience,
unheard of at that time of day.
"We broke new ground with 300,000 viewers at noon," said business
reporter John
DAWE. "
Then it expanded and we did the 5: 30 news
as well. We worked together for 14 years."
As he matured, Mr.
McADOREY lost his Buddy Holly looks. Instead,
he was often mistaken for another famous person with glasses
and a mass of curly hair -- Ken
TAILOR/TAYLOR, the Canadian ambassador
to Iran who sheltered American colleagues during the 1979-80
hostage crisis.
At Global, the news department kept trying new things and new
people, though the on-air staff remained pretty much the same.
One producer didn't like the jocular format. And Mr.
McADOREY
didn't like him. He rebelled by being provocative on air.
"It's Friday, and I didn't really feel much like working today.
The boss is out of town so I took it easy this afternoon, stretching
out in my office, reading and daydreaming," he began his part
of the 6 p.m. newscast on April 8, 1983. It got him fired.
"Unprofessional and insulting to the viewers," read the note
from his pompous producer. The viewers thought otherwise. Phone
lines buzzed and letters landed on all the right desks. Two weeks
later, the producer was fired and Bob
McADOREY was rehired.
As host of Entertainment Desk from 1991 to 1997, he guided it
through many lively segments. Among the most memorable was the
appearance of comedienne Judy Tenuta. "[She] pretty well took
over the show, which bothered some viewers but not me," he once
said. "Her wild style made for bizarre television. Most of the
interview was done with Judy sitting on my lap making semi-lewd
comments."
For all that, he never did like producers. At the time of his
retirement in July, 2000, Andrew
RYAN of The Globe and Mail asked
him what advice he would give to aspiring young entertainment
journalists. "Producers are dorks, actors are jerks," Mr.
McADOREY
answered. "The only ones worth talking to are directors."
Having been asked to retire, he said he had no expectations of
a gold watch. Rather, "how about a gold boot up the butt? Retirement
was not my idea. I always thought I had a few more good years
left."
Instead, he chose to retire quietly at his home in Niagara-On-The-Lake,
Ontario His main hobby was reading and he was something of an
authority on James Joyce. An Irish nationalist, he had a lifelong
obsession with the great Dublin writer.
Robert Joseph
McADOREY was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on
July 24, 1935. He died on February 5 at St. Catharines, Ontario
He was 70 and had suffered prolonged illness. He is survived
by daughter Colleen, sister Pat and brother Terry. He was predeceased
by his wife and by two of three children.

Bill CAMERON,
Journalist And Teacher 1943-2005
'Thinking-man's anchor' who was one of public broadcasting's
true believers seemed destined for greatness until 1999 when
he was among Canadian Broadcasting Corporation staffers cut by
corporation number crunching, writes Joe
FRIESEN
By Joe FRIESEN,
Monday,
March 14, 2005 Page S9
On the day he had brain surgery, Bill
CAMERON, ever the consummate
newsman, roused himself from the anesthetic to set the record
straight. He had already started an argument with the nurses
for taking his books away, and wasn't supposed to be reading
or doing anything strenuous. But as he lay there, his head bandaged,
listening to his neurosurgeon discuss the day's news, he couldn't
help but interject to fill in the missing details.
"They were discussing something that had happened that day, and
Bill seemed to know all about it," his wife
Cheryl
HAWKES said
yesterday. "I said, you've been under anesthetic all day. How
did you do that? How do you keep up like that?
"Somehow, he must have read the paper."
Originally from British Columbia, Mr.
CAMERON spent his high-school
years in Ottawa. His father was a prominent oceanographer and
his mother died of cancer when he was a teenager. He attended
the University of Toronto from 1962 to 1965, and spent much of
his energy as a young man trying to forge a career as an actor
and writer.
He got his start in journalism doing freelance work for Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation radio, and at 25 was on the editorial
board of the Toronto Star. In 1970, he was part of a breakaway
group that wrote the Real Poverty Report in response to what
they felt was a misreading of the situation by the Senate Committee
on Poverty.
He moved to Maclean's magazine before eventually being hired
by Global television in Toronto. Bill
CUNNINGHAM, who was vice-president
of television and current affairs at Global, said Mr.
CAMERON
came highly recommended. "I've often wondered if by taking him
into television I didn't do him a bit of a disservice."
"It's not the kind of thing you win Pulitzer prizes for, turning
out copy for an anchor, but he sure did it better than almost
anyone I've ever seen," he said. "He could really turn a phrase."
By the mid-1970s, Mr.
CAMERON had established himself in television,
becoming a reporter and anchor for Global at a time of ambitious
expansion at the station.
In 1978, Moses
ZNAIMER at the upstart CityTV was looking to add
some intellectual weight to his newscast. He leapt at the chance
to hire Mr.
CAMERON, who brought a natural gravitas with his
Walter Cronkite-like delivery.
"Because we had the only 10 o'clock newscast [in Toronto], I
wanted to make it more dignified, and Bill was perfect," Mr.
ZNAIMER said. "Bill was a guy who believed that ideas matter
and who believed that wrapping up the day's events in a pithy
and elegant way was worthwhile."
It was not long after that Mr.
CAMERON met Ms.
HAWKES, a freelance
journalist. It was August 15, 1980. She had been assigned to
write a profile of the handsome, broad-shouldered anchor.
They met at the Blue Angel restaurant, and as she left at the
end of the interview, Mr.
CAMERON chased after her and said "I
don't need a profile written about me. I need to marry you."
Later, he told her that he knew from the moment they first spoke
on the telephone that he would ask her to marry him.
A few days after the interview, she watched him on television,
looking for material for her story. She remembers seeing one
of the short editorials he used to do at the end of the newscast.
That night, he talked about his experiences at summer camp.
"I thought he was handsome, smart and really weird," she said.
"I was just intrigued, I guess. He represented everything I thought
I wanted in a partner."
It was a whirlwind romance. They were married four months later
in December, 1980. The profile Ms.
HAWKES submitted was published
in Star Week the day of their wedding.
Mr. CAMERON left CityTV in 1983, after station executives decided
his formal style was no longer a good fit for the hip urban market
they coveted.
He was snapped up almost immediately by Mark
STAROWICZ, executive
producer of The Journal, and worked there during the heady days
when the show was at the forefront of international current-affairs
reporting.
He travelled to war zones in Mozambique, Croatia and the Persian
Gulf with The Journal, producing work that colleagues said ranked
with the best ever done at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Robin BENGER was a producer at The Journal who worked with Mr.
CAMERON on a report on the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
He said Mr.
CAMERON exuded a sense of calm even-handedness that
allowed him to connect with people from all sides.
"He could interview a peasant in a potato field with the same
equanimity and fairness as the president of a country," Mr.
BENGER
said. At one point, as shelling broke out around them while Mr.
CAMERON was taping a direct-to-camera piece, he calmly worked
his way into an ad lib, describing the shell bursts as the sound
of giants dropping sandbags.
Away from the camera, Mr.
CAMERON was a shy and private person
who didn't covet the spotlight. He was a voracious reader who
constantly had three or four books on the go. His wife said he
would often roll out of bed clutching a book, ready to start
the day.
"We have a picture of him floating on the Dead Sea, when he was
on assignment with The Journal, reading. He could read in the
most extraordinary circumstances," she said. "I think he had
a great fear of getting caught somewhere without a book in his
hand."
She said Mr.
CAMERON felt he always had to be prepared for any
kind of assignment, and so tried to know as much about everything
as he possibly could. "It was like being married to my own Google
search engine," she said.
And even with all the travelling his job required, he was always
very close to his family. Mr.
BENGER remembers his colleague,
in the middle of a war zone, being anxious to get back to the
hotel to hear how his son had fared on a math test that day.
Mr. CAMERON once described a 1983 documentary he did on the civil
war in Mozambique as his best work. But it also raised doubts
for him, which he expressed in an essay for the book The Newsmakers:
Behind the Cameras with Canada's Top television Journalists.
He wrote about feeling the dreadful suspicion "that we dip into
the surface of deep events, paddle with our feet, guard our comforts,
patronize our contacts, exploit great tragedies for the good
of our careers, and get the story wrong.... Maybe the real reporter
is not necessarily the most talented but the one who can survive
all this guilt, doubt, shame and suspicion, and get at least
some part of the story home."
Mr. CAMERON was also one of the alternate anchors of The Journal
who shared time with the late Barbara
FRUM.
But while Ms.
FRUM
was given glamorous interviews with the likes of Margaret Thatcher,
Mr. CAMERON would be relegated to grilling Alan MacEachen in
the show's second half.
Mr. STAROWICZ described him as the "thinking-man's anchor." And
he was even given the chance to share his sense of humour in
the Journal Diary segments, which Mr.
STAROWICZ describes as
"a cynical tour d'horizon, or Michael Moore before there was
a Michael Moore."
Mr. CAMERON had been chosen to succeed Ms.
FRUM as host after
her death in 1992, Mr.
STAROWICZ said, but the show was cancelled
as a result of a power struggle at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation. Mr.
STAROWICZ remembers the Journal staff gathering
at a pool hall in Queen Street in Toronto and crowding around
the television to hear Mr.
CAMERON utter the show's final words:
"Thank you for letting us serve you."
Mr. CAMERON considered himself one of public broadcasting's true
believers, and was bitterly disappointed when he was eventually
pushed out of the network in 1999 by a take-it-or-leave-it contract
offer that promised a massive pay cut.
After having accepted assignments to host Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's local news in Toronto, where he won a Gemini award,
and for a spell as Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Newsworld's
morning anchor, he left the corporation for a short-lived public-relations
job with American Gem Corp.
Friends say it's a shame that Mr.
CAMERON never got the recognition,
or the high-profile anchor job, that he deserved. "If he had
a problem, it was that he was very bright, and appeared that
way on camera," one former Journal staffer said.
In 2003, Mr.
CAMERON became the media ethics chair at Ryerson
University in Toronto. It was a good fit, Friends said, for he
always took seriously his responsibility to his subjects.
Mr. HENDERSON remembers that Mr.
CAMERON, before every televised
interview, carefully warned his subjects that the tape was rolling
and whatever they said could now be used against them. "He was
a guy who was always in search of fairness. He was inquisitive,
as every good journalist should be. But if he thought somebody
was treated unfairly, it really hurt him."
His latter years were spent mainly on his writing, including
a column in the National Post.
He was known as the best documentary writer in the country, and
was called in to rescue scripts on some of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's highest-profile successes.
"His writing was just superb. It lifted up anything you were
working on," Mr.
HENDERSON, a senior producer for Canada: A People's
History, said. In 2002, Mr.
CAMERON directed his own documentary
The Season, chronicling the harvest in Biggar, Saskatchewan.
He also published a novel, Cat's Crossing, a dark, literary portrait
of Toronto, and before he died had finished a draft of his second
novel, which centres around a freelance travel writer.
Mr. CAMERON, 62, died at his home in Toronto on Saturday, March
12, of esophageal cancer. He was surrounded by his family.
Bill CAMERON was born in Vancouver on January 23, 1943. He died
of esophageal cancer at his home in Toronto in the early hours
of Saturday morning. He was 62. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl
HAWKES, and their children Patrick, 22, Rachel, 21, and Nick
A Teacher Full Of Insight And Curiosity
When I walked into Bill
CAMERON's class at Ryersen for the first
time in the fall of 2003, I was shocked to see that my ethics
teacher wasn't just the Mr. B.
CAMERON listed on the timetable,
but a genuine star of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
More astonishing, was that he lacked the celebrity attitude we've
all come to expect from a star. Instead, what we got was a teacher
full of insight and curiosity.
He didn't seek the spotlight; he was respectful; and he cared
about what his students had to say. And when his class discussed
the media business, he was never condescending, despite his wealth
of experience. For someone who had been around the world and
covered many of the great conflicts of the late 20th century,
he was surprisingly interested in what a group of aspirants thought.
Of course, there was plenty of his own wisdom as well. In a discussion
of the ethical implications of journalists carrying weapons in
war zones, he casually mentioned that he had never thought it
was a good idea. In Africa, it had once came up as an option
but he dismissed it. He thought that any interview conducted
by someone holding a lethal weapon was probably compromised.
I once approached him to ask about the ethics of going undercover
to expose a professional essay-writing service used by university
students. Bill discussed how it could be done in the most honest,
straightforward way. He was adamant that the owners of the service
could be persuaded to tell their side of the story, and eventually
they did.
On the morning the story was published, Bill had already carefully
read the student paper by the time I arrived. He said he thought
we had got the ethics just right.
It was a compliment I will always treasure. -- Joe

SIMPSON)
Peacefully at Rideaucrest Home on Monday, September 19, 2005.
Mary
Isabelle (née
SIMPSON,) in her 93rd year. Beloved wife of
the late Douglas Gordon (Ben)

Bud was a thoughtful, inquisitive and determined woman of great
strength of character. Graduating as an R.N. from Kingston General
Hospital in 1934, she continued in this caring role until she
and Ben married in 1939. Like so many others at the time, for
nearly 5 years, she remained at home while Ben was at war. What
a life they had, blessed with a loving family and wonderful Friends.
Bud made lasting Friendships wherever she went. Her love of travel
took her to many and sometimes unusual places. Bud was a keen
golfer and received a life membership to her beloved Cataraqui
as the member of longest standing. Bud and Ben both loved boating
and shared many wonderful adventures together. Her love of music
was almost legendary, something she instilled in her children
and grandchildren. She will be deeply missed. Heartfelt thanks
to the caregivers at Fairfield Manor East, and Rideaucrest Home.
Special thanks to Vivian Bateman and Charlotte Clark.

'Mac' led heady days at
CHUM
Disk
Jockey
Bob
McADOREY as popular as music
'Bon vivant' later a Global television fixture
By Jim BAWDEN,
Television
COLUMNIST
Bob McADOREY helped usher in radio's rock 'n' roll era and set
the musical agenda for a generation of Toronto teens.
Few today realize the power that Disk Jockeys like
McADOREY exerted
over Toronto popular culture 40 years ago, when radio ruled.
It was a cozy time for music -- and then
CHUM entered the fray,
blew the cobwebs away and ushered in the crazy days of rock broadcasting.
McADOREY, 69, died Saturday at St. Catharines' Hotel Dieu hospital
after a long illness.
McADOREY grew up in Niagara Falls and attended Stamford Collegiate,
also the alma mater of Titanic director James
CAMERON. He was
in the same graduating class as Barbara
FRUM, the legendary Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation-television interviewer.
As a teen,
McADOREY won a province-wide public speaking contest
and was the popular president of his high school fraternity.
He also played ragtime piano.
"Crowds would go around him," said his older brother, Terry
McADOREY.
McADOREY's radio career started in 1953 when the Niagara Falls
native first signed on with
CHVC near the Falls, introducing
listeners to his unique style of easy-going patter.
"I looked like Buddy Holly back then,"
McADOREY told the Toronto
Star in a 1981 interview. "I weighed about 95 pounds and we played
songs like 'Que Sera Sera.' Everything was a lot softer, smoother
then."
After additional stops in London, Guelph, Hamilton and Dawson
Creek, McADOREY wound up at Toronto's
CHUM, coaxed to climb aboard
by resident star Disk Jockey Al
BOLISKA.
"I'd lived with Al above a variety store in London and he kept
telling me to come to
CHUM. I asked for $600 a month, after all
Gordie TAPP was making $100 a week, and to my surprise I got
the job."
Starting in 1960,
McADOREY began a stint that many people consider
rock programming at its finest: brash, spontaneous and pretty
wild. And the Disk Jockeys were the stars.
CHUM became the rock station to listen to and
McADOREY was the
man who told you if a song was going places. The guy who hung
out with The Beatles and The Stones when they were in town (and
introduced them from the stage) was known simply as "Mac."
For years, he hosted the all-important 4 to 7 p.m. slot.
CHUM's
chart of the week's top records was posted everywhere: in record
stores and high school lockers. Eaton's and Simpson's would only
stock those 45s that were on the
CHUM list. When a new record
called "The Unicorn" came in,
McADOREY liked it so much he immediately
put it on the air and it sold 140,000 copies in Canada in two
weeks and made The Irish Rovers.
Thinking back on those heady days,
McADOREY said, "We kept it
all clean up here. There was no payola as in the U.S. and we
deliberately helped a lot of Canadians. It was personality radio.
We were promoted like crazy back then. And the pressures were
unbelievable. We dictated what records were going to go. And
what kids would eat, drink.
"I could have written five books about what happened at
CHUM.
There'd be one book if I saved my memos. The most frightening
thing was the British invasion. There weren't enough cops to
handle the crowds -- it was out of control."
Off the air, he was a bon vivant, said 72-year-old Terry
McADOREY.
"We did a lot of drinking. He was a good friend of Ronnie
HAWKINS."
In 1968, the
CHUM deal fizzled. When owner Al
WATERS brought
in American consultants,
McADOREY felt the business was becoming
too heavily formatted and left.
McADOREY headed to
CFGM in Richmond Hill, which was trying to
invade Toronto with a country music format. As morning man, he
energized the station. He moved to
CFTR in 1970 and after a few
years returned to
CFGM.
A constant listener was Bill
CUNNINGHAM, head of Global television
news, and he asked
McADOREY to contribute satirical bits, which
eventually became a full-time job.
Sample segment: during an airline strike
McADOREY headed out
to Terminal 2 with bowling equipment and pins to demonstrate
the building was only of use as a bowling alley. Royal Canadian
Mounted Police officers saw nothing funny in this and whisked
him out as the piece was being filmed.
Another time during a city campaign to get dog owners to scoop
up deposits,
McADOREY and a cameraman went out to do field tests,
which consisted of chasing terrified dogs whose owners had failed
the test.
By 1980, he was entertainment editor. In 1983, Global tried to
fire him when he disagreed over assignments. Global's Three Guys
at noon telecast was a big hit (the others: Mike Anscombe and
John Dawe) and hundreds of daily phone calls forced management
to reconsider. For a time, Global even outperformed Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation's Midday.
McADOREY later got his own afternoon entertainment show where
he'd report from movie junkets and comment on the entertainment
scene.
I last chatted with him in 2000 when he was railing against Global's
retirement-at-65 rule. But he looked frail and had been off for
months after a fainting attack.
McADOREY had a farm at Gormley and a place in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Despite his television success he still yearned for the golden
days of radio: "I'd walk into the booth in pyjama tops and jeans
and talk one-on-one to people. At least that's the way I always
imagined it."
McADOREY leaves daughter Colleen, her husband Jim
TATTI, a Global
sports broadcaster, and four grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his wife Willa, daughter Robin and son
Terry.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at St. Patrick's
Church in Niagara Falls.
