Douglas MARSHALL,
Journalist 1937-2005
Toronto editor and writer was a co-founder of the journal Books
In Canada and a sounding board for Margaret Atwood, Robert Fulford
and Margaret Laurence
By Allison
LAWLOR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, January
21, 2005 - Page S7
Doug MARSHALL was a writer and editor who cut his teeth in the
newspaper business in the 1950s while working on a university
paper with the likes of broadcaster Peter
GZOWSKI. As an undergraduate
at the University of Toronto, Mr.
MARSHALL worked on The Varsity
with the late Mr.
GZOWSKI, who was then the paper's editor, and
long-time Globe reporter John
GRAY/GREY.
Considered one of its star
writers, Mr.
MARSHALL eventually became editor of the student
newspaper in 1958-59 and embarked on his lifelong career in the
business.
"He loved the English language," said Lynda
HURST, a columnist
at the Toronto Star, where Mr.
MARSHALL spent 20 years of his
career. "He was obsessed with its proper use in newspapers."
After graduation, Mr.
MARSHALL headed back to England, where
he had spent much of his childhood. Based in London, he worked
for several years as a reporter for The Canadian Press. On his
return to Canada, he became a staff writer at Maclean's, which
was then a monthly magazine. In 1971, he co-founded the monthly
review journal Books In Canada with the late Val Clery. It got
started after the two men, along with a couple of others, contributed
$55 each. With the help of a $250 grant from the Ontario government,
they set out to fill a void in the Canadian book world.
Getting the magazine off the ground didn't happen without a few
rocky moments. Readers, for instance, didn't see the first issue
dated May, 1971, until a month later. When Mr. Clery left less
than two years after it started, Mr.
MARSHALL took over and was
said to have injected his own cultural nationalism into the magazine.
"We weren't out necessarily to take an adversary position but
to give attention to Canadian books," he told the Toronto Star
in a 1986 interview.
"Our philosophical position was clear, which was to judge Canadian
books on the highest possible standards. Good, professionally
written reviews create a climate for good literature. I think
we provided one of the tools that kept alive the renaissance
of Canadian literature, with the result that Canada now has at
least a half-dozen world-class writers."
Under Mr. MARSHALL,
Books In
Canada provided a forum for such
authors and critics as Margaret Atwood, Robert Fulford, Margaret
Laurence and Pierre
BERTON. It also served as a training ground
for up-and-coming writers.
"He loved to read," Mr.
GRAY/GREY said. "He always had a book shoved
into his jacket pocket."
Born not long before the Second World War, Mr.
MARSHALL was the
eldest of three children to Porte and Marion
MARSHALL.
His father,
a family doctor in Colbourne, Ontario, was in England during
the war; his job was to check on the health status of those wishing
to immigrate to Canada. After the war, he brought his family
to England to join him. Young Douglas later returned to Canada
to attend the University of Toronto.
During his university years, his interest in journalism is said
to have been sparked after he noticed that the students who most
liked to drink happened to be the same ones who worked at the
newspaper. "He began life when the newspaper business was a hard-drinking
business and maintained the tradition," Mr.
GRAY/GREY said.
"There was nothing he liked more than a feisty debate in the
pub," said Sandra
MARTIN, a Globe and Mail writer who worked
with Mr. MARSHALL at Books In Canada.
In the early 1980s, Mr.
MARSHALL joined the Toronto Star and
remained there until his retirement two years ago. During his
five years as the paper's entertainment editor, he is credited
for having created the innovative What's On section. Departing
from traditional newspaper design, the new section incorporated
a magazine style. He later worked as the paper's science and
environment editor.
"He could be difficult to work for," said Toronto Star editorial
columnist Bob
HEPBURN. "It would drive him nuts if he saw typos
or mistakes in the paper."
Outside of the newspaper world, Mr.
MARSHALL was a founding member
of the Crime Writers of Canada and the Periodical Writers Association
of Canada, and author of the crime fiction novel A Very Palpable
Hit. He was at work on a mystery novel set in England.
Patrick
Oliver
Douglas
MARSHALL was born on November 25, 1937,
in Cobourg, Ontario He died of liver disease at St. Michael's
Hospital in Toronto on Wednesday. He was 67. He is survived by
his wife, Sarah
MURDOCH, and
by Barnaby and Benjamin, sons from
an earlier marriage to Deborah
MARSHALL.
Funeral arrangements
have not been finalized.

she was active in the United Church, in womens' groups and contributing
her lovely alto voice to the choir. Golf and Friends at the Royal
Montreal Golf Club, travel overseas and in their beloved Airstream
trailer were among her fondest memories. In retirement they relocated
to Victoria Place, Bobcaygeon and
to Don Mills where Mom found
support in a wonderful group of Friends.
Mom was everything a mom should be; warm, strong, supportive,
never restrictive. The family and all the Friends she touched

Our Mom has passed away peacefully, on August 15, 2005, after

her. Born in Michigan, she spent most of her life in Montreal
where she was active in the United Church, in women's groups

Friends at the Royal Montreal Golf Club, travel overseas and
in their beloved Airstream trailer were among her fondest memories.
In retirement they relocated to Victoria Place, Bobcaygeon and
to Don Mills where Mom found support in a wonderful group of
Friends. Mom was everything a mom should be: warm, strong, supportive,
never restrictive. The family and all the Friends she touched
will remember the open, loving, generous woman she was before
Alzheimer's stole her away from us. Friends may call at the Trull

Jack HURST, 83: Loyal Beach knave
Community fixture at Queen and Beech
Greeted every passerby as 'Sire' or 'Milady'
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Does every community have a Jack
HURST? A man who greeted every
day with a grin, who greeted every single person he passed on
the street with a salutation. A man so entrenched in his community
he made newcomers feel as if they too belonged there just by
saying hello to them.
And his community? Four blocks or so in the east end of the Beach.
A small world, but his world.
For more than 50 years he lived there, first on Silver Birch
Ave., in a fourplex that used to be the old Balmy Beach Club
with his "dear Mum" as he always called Isabel
HURST, who brought
up four kids cleaning doctors' homes after her husband deserted
the family. After "dear Mum" died in 1980 he moved one block
to the west to a place on Willow Ave. For the past 10 years or
so -- no one is sure how long -- he lived in a ground floor bachelor
with a 12-foot ceiling on Beech Ave., in the building that also
houses the Fox movie house.
He had the rolling gait of a sailor navigating a storm, a Tintin
tuft of still sandy hair and, in fact, the same small, open face
of the French cartoon character, and he died -- at 83 on September
13 -- in the veteran's wing at Sunnybrook hospital, wanting to
be back home in the Beach.
He'd been ill and increasingly immobile for a year. It would
take him three traffic lights to cross Queen St. E. to the Garden
Gate restaurant (known to locals as the Goof) to join the self-styled
Goof Support Network, six regulars who met for breakfast Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays for years.
"Jack was a really important member of the group because he made
each day so bright and funny," said Doug
RICHARDSON.
The two would talk about the Crusades, history, Einstein and,
always, politics.
HURST, a Trudeau-hating Tory, thought things
were going to hell in a handbasket, grumbled about young people
being on the wrong track and the rich guys moving in and spoiling
his Beach -- and then would leave the Goof and stop and chat
to these same children and rich guys.
RICHARDSON sometimes helped him cross back over Queen St. "We'd
stand in the centre, shielding Jack from the traffic, and force
people to stop," he said. "The guy had ulcers on his ankles and
he couldn't move. He was in real pain."
But still
HURST was out and about most days, carrying his battered
soft-sided bag wherever he went. He'd stop off at the Remarkable
Bean where George
FOWLER would fix him a coffee. "He couldn't
sit, his knees were shot," said
FOWLER. "
He'd stand here by the
milk and cream and chat to the morning customers."
Susan FOWLER,
George's mother and the owner of the coffee shop,
kept an eye out for
HURST.
She'd greet him most mornings as she
walked to work at 6 a.m. "Every day I wake up and am still breathing
is a gift," he would say to her.
He was proud, he was certainly stubborn. He rejected all and
any aid although there was a particular cab driver, an old school
friend it is thought, who used to sit in his car in front of
HURST's apartment just in case he needed to run an errand.
And the Queen St. streetcar drivers would wait for him when they
saw him slowly, ever so slowly, inching his way to the streetcar
stop at the corner. Some of the drivers used to help him into
the car -- his knees were so stiff he had to enter and exit the
car backwards.
A neighbour made him a railing with a hoop at the end so
HURST
could pull himself up the few steps to his home. A friend wanted
to start a fund to buy him a scooter, but he didn't want one.
Others also offered to buy him a motorized wheelchair, which
he dismissed, saying he needed the exercise of walking.
He suffered to walk, but he needed to be out in his community,
saluting the men with a "Good morrow, Sire," the women as "Milady"
with a sweep of the arm and a slight bob, or simply as "Dearie."
"I think I see an angel," he would say to the younger women.
Always, he would tell them all, he remains their loyal knave
and subject.
But for a public figure -- which is what
HURST was at Queen St.
E. and Beech Ave. where he would sit on the bench outside the
corner natural food store, pant legs rolled up, legs out straight,
telling everyone he was just getting some sun on the knees --
he was a very private man. "I was never allowed into his apartment,"
said Jerry
SZCZUR, the Fox owner and his landlord. No one was.
He'd always been a packrat and latterly neither he nor his apartment
was very clean. A neighbour bringing him some home baking last
Easter said his door flew open when she knocked, revealing
HURST
lying on six or seven dirty mattresses on the floor in a room
overflowing with empty pizza boxes and cans.
"He was obviously embarrassed and said he was sick," said Ruth
Ellen BRUCE.
HURST had been a housepainter, who had painted
BRUCE's home on
more than one occasion. Because the Bruce home is high, he called
himself Michelangelo and her two daughters "the angels." For
years, he showed up at their house every Christmas and Easter
with a garbage bag bearing gifts -- shortbread for the adults,
dolls and later, books for the girls.
He was Rembrandt when he visited Diana
ANDERSON's home those
mornings and her husband, a psychiatrist, was "Freud" or " Governor."
"He had a route on Christmas morning," she said. "He'd have the
same old jokes year after year. And he always told us how lucky
we were to have (son) Jamie."
When he was growing up,
HURST was known as Jake, and famous for
the parties he gave and for being the fastest man on the rugby
team at East York Collegiate. He enlisted in the army and was
shipped out to England but never saw action because of his flat
feet, a story he used to love to tell on himself. Never married,
he trained as a teacher and taught for a couple of years before
becoming a housepainter. For 10 years -- between 1965 and 1976
he was the manager at the Fox theatre.
"He was eccentric a touch," said his younger sister Dorothy
MacDONALD,
who lives outside Sudbury. "He lived his life the way he wanted
to and he was a very happy man because he was doing what he wanted
to do."
Her family often visited him when he lived with their mother,
but when he moved out on his own, he discouraged visits to his
home. Anyone picking him up to go to family events had to meet
him at the corner.
"He was very independent," said John
MacDONALD,
Dorothy
MacDONALD's
son. "He always wanted to be in the Beaches and the family respected
that."
When HURST fell ill in February and was hospitalized, the family
was there, cleaning his apartment and spending nights and days
in the hospital. When
HURST wanted out of hospital, he was brought
home for a month before his health failed again and he was re-admitted.
"When we were trying to assist Jack in his apartment, there was
a constant parade of people going by asking after Jack," said
MacDONALD, an architect in Kitchener-Waterloo.
He found out that his uncle had been helping people 20 years
younger than he. Unbidden, he'd shovel the snow in front of his
apartment building, the Goof and the local solar laundromat.
He'd go grocery shopping at the Valu-Mart for a 90-year-old neighbour,
even though it would take him, literally, hours to go the three
blocks. And people would always offer to help him carry those
groceries.
"To be exposed to the level of neighbourhood connect he had and
continues to have, well, the Beaches is just a very special place,"
said MacDONALD. "In the end, we are all Jack's loyal knaves and
subjects by virtue of his credos by which we live our lives."
