LOEB,
Dr.
Lazarus
J., M.D., F.R.C.P.C., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P., F.A.A.A.I.,
F.A.C.A.A.I.
Highly regarded and well loved Fort Worth allergist, died unexpectedly
November 1, from complications after knee surgery. Dr.
LOEB had
practiced in Fort Worth since 1982. Described as the 'Dean of
Texas Allergy' by Texas Monthly Magazine, his credo was 'Always
listen to the patient.' As a teaching professor he believed in
only doing for the patient what you could justify to the student.
As a dedicated physician for forty six years, he was not above
making house calls or meeting distressed patients at his office
late at night. He avidly kept abreast of developments in medical
practice and therapeutics. Dr.
LOEB lived to practice medicine
he relished challenging medical problems and had a gift for diagnosis.
Dr. LOEB's medical training began after obtaining a Bachelor
of Science degree in Bacteriology from McGill University in Montreal.
He proceeded to the University of Western Ontario where he earned
a Master of Science degree in Microbiology while he lectured
medical classes in bacteriology. While a lecturer he earned his
medical degree. He graduated cum laude earning five awards in
addition to A.O.A. Honor Medical Society. Fascinated by allergy,
his post-graduate training was at Roosevelt Hospital in New York
City under Dr. Robert A. Cooke, the father of modern allergy
practice in North America. He returned to Ottawa, Canada, to
found a five doctor allergy practice and became head of the Allergy
Department at the University of Ottawa. He authored more than
60 journal articles on allergy, bacteriology and medical practice
as well as chapters in medical texts.
Always active in medical organizations, Dr.
LOEB encouraged physicians
to remain independent of government control and insurance limitations
and to vigilantly maintain the quality of medical care. He was
elected president of the Canadian Academy of Allergy in 1965
and in 1977 he was elected president of the Ontario Medical Association.
He later served on the board of directors of the Canadian Medical
Association.
After immigrating to Texas in 1980, Dr.
LOEB continued his involvement
with medical organizations including the Tarrant County Medical
Association, the Texas Medical Association, Texas State Board
of Medical Examiners, Texas Allergy Asthma and Immunology Society,
and the Medicare Carrier Advisory Committee of Texas. Dr.
LOEB
was a fellow of the Royal College of Physician-Canada and a fellow
of both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
and the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. He
trained numerous residents and fellows in allergy as a clinical
professor at Southwestern University Medical Center in Dallas
and the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort
Worth. In 1997 he received the Outstanding Teacher Award in Allergy
and Immunology from Utah Southwestern.
Dr. LOEB's favorite hobby was flying. He obtained a commercial
pilot's license early in his practice. Accompanied by Mrs.
LOEB,
also a pilot, he established flying doctor clinics in Northern
Ontario. Jackie
LOEB was his partner in managing their medical
practice and life together. Laz was an incorrigible punster and
could always provide a light-hearted observation. He loved food
which was a good match as Jackie had her own gourmet television
program in Canada. Laz studied broadly and would generously venture
an opinion on science, politics, the arts, crosswords or anything.
He felt his best investments were in people and he was well loved
in return. His kindness and respect are well remembered by family
and Friends.
Lazarus Jacob
LOEB was born the youngest of six sons to Rose
and Moses LOEB in Ottawa, Canada, on September 23, 1927. His
father had used his talent as a scholar and a tutor to escape
pogroms in turn-of-the century Russia. The family established
a wholesale grocery and business empire. As the youngest in a
competitive family, Lazarus was encouraged to have other aspirations.
Three brothers, Bert, Jules and David

LESTER,
Murray
David
(November 27, 1925-December 24, 2005)
Passed away peacefully at home, at the age of 80, after a brief
but valiant battle with cancer. Murray will be greatly missed
by his beloved wife of 50 years, Dr. Eva P.
LESTER, his three
children, Kenneth (Trudy,) Jason and Nina (Larry
LOWENSTEIN,)
and his six grandchildren, Allison, Devin, Nicholas, Julie, Maya
and Anna Lisa. He is also survived by his sisters Celia and Evelyn
of California, Natalie of Nevada, brothers Melvin of New Jersey
and Eddie of California, and numerous nephews and nieces. Murray
was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the eldest of six
siblings. With great strength and determination, Murray overcame
early adversities to become a successful professional in Montreal.
A decorated veteran of World War 2 and the Korean conflict, Murray
was awarded an appointment at West Point and achieved the rank
of Captain in the U.S. Army. After leaving the service, he used
the G.I. Bill to attend and graduate from Cornell University
in 1949 with a degree in civil engineering. His first job as
an engineer was in Buffalo, New York, where he met and married
Eva PAPAMATHEAKI who was then a medical resident in psychiatry
on a Fullbright Scholarship. In 1956, shortly after the birth
of their first child, Kenneth, they moved to Montreal, where
Murray had accepted a position at Alcan Aluminum Inc. Montreal
became Murray and Eva's home and the birthplace of their other
children, Jason and Nina. Murray worked at Alcan Aluminum Inc.
for close to 30 years. His expertise in the production of energy
for the smelting of aluminum took him to Alcan's operations throughout
the world. He rose to Vice-President, Energy, at Alcan and he
also served a term as Chair of the World Energy Congress. Upon
retirement from Alcan in 1985, Murray transformed his longstanding
fascination with the stock market and investing into his next
career as an investment counsellor. This became his true passion.
In 1992, he was joined by his son, Kenneth. As business partners
over the succeeding 14 years, Murray and Ken built Murray Lester
Investment Counsel into a trusted and successful investment firm.
In 1989, Murray was appointed Adjunct Professor at McGill University
teaching Applied Investments. When Ken, whose degrees are in
History and Education, joined Murray he was also appointed Adjunct
Professor and continues to teach the course. Murray was an avid
sportsman and fan. Tennis was his favorite and he continued to
play until his last month. He had numerous other interests including
chess, bridge, jazz, Humphrey Bogart films and, of course, the
stock market. His sharp intellect and vibrant sense of humour
were always appreciated by his family, business associates, and
a wide circle of Friends. He was a caring and devoted husband,
father, brother and friend. He also took enormous pride in Eva's
accomplishments as a psychoanalyst of international renown. A
private family service was recently observed, with a memorial
luncheon gathering celebrating his life to be held on Friday,
January 27. More details to be announced. In lieu of flowers
or donations, Murray would have encouraged Friends and acquaintances
to make a contribution to a child or grandchild's Registered
Education Savings Plan.

CARR,
Patricia
(BURROWS) (March 12, 1940-October 17, 2005)
It is with great sadness that we announce that after a long,
courageous battle with cancer, Patricia
CARR died peacefully
with family at her side at Sunnybrook Hospital. She was a devoted,
loving mother and mother-in-law to Wendy, Peter and Leah
CARR.
Cherished, inspirational Nana to grandchildren Lindsay and Kelsey
LOWES,
Joshua and Caitlyn
CARR. Tricia will be sadly missed by
her Aunt Janet, brother Peter, and sister-in-law Elizabeth and
their family in England. Tricia's passion for people was always
demonstrated through the generous giving of her time, her energy,
and a genuine sense of caring. This was evident in all aspects
of her life. As a mother she loved, inspired, guided and supported
her children. As a Nana, she loved unconditionally and guided
with a caring hand. As a sister, she loved and truly cared. As
a friend, she listened and encouraged. As a doctor, every patient
was special. As a counsellor, she listened and guided those in
need. The passion that she had for gardening has left a lasting
reminder in many of our gardens and all of our hearts. We Remember
In the rising of the sun, And in its going down, We remember
her. In the blowing of the wind, And the chill of the winter,
We remember her. In the opening of buds, And in the rebirth of
spring, We remember her. In the blueness of the sky, And in the
warmth of summer, We remember her. In the rustling of the leaves,
And the beauty of autumn, We remember her. In the beginning of
the year, And when it ends, We remember her. When we are weary,
And in need of strength, We remember her. When we are lost, And
sick at heart, We remember her. When we have joys, We yearn to
share, We remember her. So long as we live, She too shall live.
For she is now a part of us. As we remember her. We cannot say
goodbye to our mom, nana and best friend so we will keep you
close in our hearts and remember the great times we have shared.
Thank you to all of the caring, compassionate staff at Sunnybrook
Hospital. Your support was greatly appreciated. A service to
celebrate her life will be held in the chapel of the Egan Funeral
Home, 203 Queen Street South (Hwy. 50), Bolton (1-800-853-1977)

and culminated in his retirement as Vice Chairman of the bank
in 1985. Bob and his family travelled extensively during his
career, including stints in Hong Kong, New York, Nassau, Bahamas,

and tremendous sense of humour, especially for British comedy,
his legendary ability as a captivating storyteller and his belief
in the power of positive thinking. Above all, Bob will be remembered

GERTLER,
Jeffrey
Lee
January 18, 2005
After a recurrence of brain cancer, despite the best of care
at the Clinique de Genolier, Switzerland, and the constant support
of family, colleagues and Friends, his courage and morale undiminished,
on January 18, 2005 he was taken from his wife, Ann Stewart
GERTLER
their sons Marin (fiancée Rocio
LASTRAS) and Joshua; his parents,
Maynard and Ann Straus
GERTLER; brothers and sisters-in-law,
Michael (JoAnn
JAFFE,)
Alfred
(Kathryn
MacRAE,) Franklin (Catherine
OLIVER) and Edward (Mary-Jo
LOW/LOWE/LOUGH;) sisters-in-law, Cynthia
VON
MAERESTETTEN and Rowena
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART; mother-in-law, Thisbe
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART
nieces, Lisa and Jardena; nephews, Mark, Maxim, Will, Leo, Nicholas,
John Nathaniel and Theo; beloved family member, Doris
WINKLER
and his extended family in Ottawa, Toronto, New York, California,
England and Scotland who survive him to celebrate his 51 productive
years. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, among the
Plain People, where his college-teaching parents chose to farm.
But his education was to begin at Darwin House, Cambridge, England
(when they resumed research interrupted by service in the wartime
administrations and army (Maynard) of Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Harry S. Truman) -- to be continued largely at St. George's School,
Montreal. His further development was associated with training
institutes in non-violence and peace research, fostered by the
Canadian Peace Research Institute and sponsored by the Canadian
Friends Service Committee and the Canadian National Commission
of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
He was a "resource person" for the 1970 and 1971 high school
peace workshops which took place at Grindstone Island on Big
Rideau Lake, Portland, Ontario, the former summer home of Admiral
Sir
Charles
Edmund
KINGSMILL (first director of the Royal Canadian
Navy) and his family, and loaned by his heirs for that purpose.
Jeffrey's professional skills were acquired at Swarthmore College,
Pennsylvania, by a B.A., with emphasis on contemporary political
economy, history and French (Université de Grenoble), by study
at the Institute of Comparative International Law, Paris, on
Regulation of International Business Transactions, by a J.D.
at the University of San Diego, California, an
LLM from Georgetown
University, Washington, D.C., and by work with the Commonwealth
Secretariat, London, the U.S. International Trade Commission,
and the Office of the United States Trade Representative, among
others. A member of the California and District of Columbia bars
and of the American Society for International Law, he entered
his latest field of activity through applications to United Nations
and United Nations-affiliated agencies. Invited to Geneva by
the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, he was employed by
them in 1988, and stayed on when the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade evolved into the World Trade Organization in 1995.
As Senior Counsellor in the Legal Affairs Division, he was active
in the elaboration of dispute settlement procedures, in panels
pertaining to the admission of countries, such as China, to the
World Trade Organization, in work, duty travel and conferences
on four continents, including university-sponsored speaking engagements
on various aspects of globalization: human rights, labour, environment
and living conditions, as well as trade. Jeffrey gravitated toward
work in the public interest by an early internship with the Environmental
Defense Fund of Washington, D.C., and by a spell as Special Assistant
to the Rector of the United Nations University of Tokyo. Not
incidentally, his two non-professional affiliations in 1988 at
the time of joining the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
were with the Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear Arms Control, and
Friends of the Earth. He delighted in sailing off Norfolk, England,
on Lakes Ontario and Champlain, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean,
the Chesapeake with his wife Ann and boys, from their first home
at Shady Side, near Annapolis, Maryland, and Lake Geneva (Léman).
He loved life and knew well what to do with it, was an enthusiastic
skiier and swimmer, an accomplished photographer, a keen gardener
and family farmer, in Ontario, and an excellent cook. At various
times he played the recorder, violin and guitar. Family meant
the world to him, and his children were his greatest joy. Facing
final illness, his supreme regret was the prospect that he might
not be around to share in their lives, to support them, and to
help celebrate their accomplishments. The warmest of farewells
were given him at the Temple de Genolier above Lake Geneva, January
24, on a sunny day, emblazoned by fresh snow and invigorated
by the mountain air. In addition to his wife, sons and brothers,
some 150 Friends and colleagues were in attendance, many from
the World Trade Organization, the United Nations family, the
International School of Geneva, the United Nations High Commission
for Refugees, Femmes Pour la Paix, and the International Peace
Bureau. Following cremation, Jeffrey's remains will be interred
near his home in Divonne les Bains, France. Contact with the
family in Montreal may be had through Franklin

He made his mark on city and nation
By WARREN
Gerard,
Special To
The Star
Beland HONDERICH rose from plain beginnings to become one of
the most influential Canadians of his day, using his power as
publisher of Canada's largest newspaper to influence the agenda
in politics and business at every level.
At the same time he set new standards for informed, in-depth,
responsible reporting.
HONDERICH, publisher of the Toronto Star for 22 of his 52 years
at the paper, died in Vancouver at 86 yesterday following a stroke.
HONDERICH was a fiercely private man, almost reclusive, but that
didn't keep him from being an impatient perfectionist, a leader
whose principal ethic was work.
The Star was his life, his passion.
Among his many honours, and one he treasured, was his election
in 1986 to the News Hall of Fame by journalists across Canada
for leading "Canadian newspapers into a new direction, taking
readers backstage to explore and explain the current events that
shaped their lives."
HONDERICH left the publisher's office in 1988, going on to become
board chairman of the newspaper and its parent company, Torstar
Corp. He retired from that position in 1994, but maintained an
office across from the newsroom on the fifth floor at One Yonge
St. until 1999.
Beland Hugh
HONDERICH was born in Kitchener on November 25, 1918,
and grew up in the nearby village of Baden. He was proud of his
pioneer roots -- Mennonites from Germany who found religious
freedom in Waterloo County in the early 1800s.
"My father was a man who stood for religious freedom, and I am
proud to follow in his footsteps,"
HONDERICH once said.
His father, John
HONDERICH, was ostracized in the staunchly traditional
Mennonite community because he and young Beland went to hear
a speaker from another Amish sect. The shunning, as it was called,
meant that other Reform Mennonites were forbidden to sit down
to eat with them or to shake their hands.
Nor did his father quite fit in with his thrifty, hard-working
neighbours in other ways. A sometime beekeeper, homespun village
philosopher, printer and pamphleteer for liberal causes, he was
"not a very good provider" in a community where work was next
to godliness.
His mother, Rae, was the family's main breadwinner. She was the
local telephone operator, a job that included the use of a train
station in Baden which served as a home for the
HONDERICHs and
their six children.
HONDERICH recalled that the family never
went hungry, but there was little money for anything but food.
He gathered coal along the railway tracks to heat their home
and carried water in summer to gangs of workers repairing the
roads. In the mornings, he worked around the Canadian National
Railway station, sweeping and cleaning up for 40 cents a day.
Despite winning a regional debating championship with his sister
Ruth -- they defended the proposition that the Soviet way of
life was superior to the American way -- he struggled to pass
high school entrance examinations.
HONDERICH didn't do well in high school. And it didn't help that
he had to hitchhike 16 kilometres to and from school in Kitchener.
As a result, his attendance was spotty and his marks were poor.
He was demoted in his second year to a commercial course "where
at least I learned to type."
Discouraged, he dropped out of school and got a job as a farmhand
at the beginning of the Great Depression, much to his mother's
displeasure. "You can do better than that," he recalled her saying
on more than one occasion.
The farm job didn't last. His introduction to reporting came
about because his father was hard of hearing and took his son
to public meetings and political rallies to take notes. It taught
the young HONDERICH, who was later to battle deafness himself,
to write quickly and accurately.
He inherited a Kitchener-Waterloo Record paper route from one
of his brothers, which led him to become the paper's correspondent
for Baden at 10 cents a column inch. He created news by organizing
a softball team and covering its games for the paper.
When he was 17, fires on successive nights destroyed two barns
owned by a prominent Baden farmer. Arson was suspected and the
young HONDERICH's coverage so impressed his editors that they
offered him a tryout as a cub reporter in Kitchener at $15 a
week.
He showed up for work in a mismatched jacket and pants and with
his two front teeth missing from a tough hockey game the night
before. He didn't shine as a reporter.
The publisher, W.J.
MOTZ, concluded after a week that
HONDERICH
was in the wrong line of work and told city editor Art
LOW/LOWE/LOUGH to
fire him. But
LOW/LOWE/LOUGH saw something in the youngster and persuaded
MOTZ to give him a second chance.
LOW/LOWE/LOUGH worked
HONDERICH hard. He gave him an assignment each evening
to go along with his day job. Ed
HAYES, who worked at the Record
in those days, recalled in an interview that
HONDERICH (or "Bee"
as he was nicknamed) was determined to succeed.
"Each reporter was supposed to turn in a story every afternoon
at the end of his shift. Bee wasn't satisfied with that. He'd
turn in two, three or more.
"He was the darling of the city desk."
As time went by, he improved, becoming more and more confident.
He was also developing into a perfectionist. So much so, in fact,
that he'd bet an ice cream with an assistant city editor that
he would find nothing that needed to be changed in a
HONDERICH
story.
At first, he recalled, it cost him a lot of ice cream cones,
but later he rarely had to pay off.
In those early days at the Record,
HONDERICH knew he had a country
bumpkin image. So when he had saved enough money, he went to
a quality menswear store and asked the manager to show him how
to dress. He bought a dark pin-striped suit, complete with vest,
and that look became his uniform in life.
A fellow staffer at the Record recalled
HONDERICH borrowing a
bike from a delivery boy and speeding off to an assignment in
his pin-striped suit.
And co-workers described him as a loner who rarely headed for
the beer parlour with the boys after work, though he was known
to sip a scotch on special occasions. Mostly, he went to Norm
Jones' restaurant for a milkshake.
Though he spent most of his time working, he taught Sunday school
at a Presbyterian church, and served as secretary for a minor
hockey league.
This involvement brought him into contact with Milt
DUNNELL,
the legendary Star sports columnist, who had made a name for
himself at the Stratford Beacon Herald before heading for Toronto.
He told HONDERICH that the Star was looking for reporters to
replace those who had enlisted to serve in World War 2.
HONDERICH,
who had been rejected by the Royal Canadian Air Force and merchant
marine because of poor eyesight and hearing, applied to the Star
in 1943 and was hired as a reporter for $35 a week.
He was proud that the Kitchener city council gave him a vote
of thanks for his fair reporting. And
MOTZ, the publisher who
thought he would never make it in the newspaper business, begged
him not to go.
Stepping into the grandly marbled lobby of the Star's building
at 80 King St. W.,
HONDERICH recalled that he was "scared as
hell." But he was in the right place. This was the world of Joe
ATKINSON.
As publisher, Joseph E.
ATKINSON had guided the paper through
most of the first half-century and was seen by friend and foe
alike as one of the country's leading reformers. It turned out
that the publisher and his new employee had some things in common.
Both had come from large, impoverished, God-fearing families
in small-town Ontario, and quit school early to put food on the
table. "One thing I had in common with Joe
ATKINSON,"
HONDERICH
recalled, "is that I knew need."
There was a major difference, however.
ATKINSON was a star of
Canadian journalism in 1899 when the new owners of the Toronto
Evening
Star hired him at 34 to run the paper.
HONDERICH was
24 when he arrived at the paper, an unproven asset at the time.
But he didn't take long to prove himself. His work was soon noticed
by Harry C.
HINDMARSH,
ATKINSON's son-in-law and the man who
ran the newsroom.
HINDMARSH sent
HONDERICH to Saskatchewan for the election that
brought Tommy Douglas and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation
(later to become the New Democratic Party) to power in 1944.
The next year he was sent back to do a progress report on North
America's first socialist government. His stories were so enthusiastically
some thought naively -- positive that the Saskatchewan government
asked permission to reprint them.
They also caught the eye of Joe
ATKINSON, whose reform ideas
were at home with the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation's,
although he never endorsed the party at election time.
HONDERICH
was marked as someone worth watching. He was asked to fill in
as an editorial writer, the newspaper job he enjoyed most of
all.
Some critics said
HONDERICH's writing lacked flair or style.
But it was clear. He explained complicated matters in simple,
accurate terms. His idea was to dive right into a story, delivering
the promise of the headline in the first paragraph.
In his reporting career,
HONDERICH covered a wide variety of
assignments, collecting his share of scoops, enough to impress
HINDMARSH. In 1946, he called in
HONDERICH, congratulated him
on a story, then remarked, "Oh, by the way, the financial editor
left today. I'd like you to start as financial editor on Monday."
"But I don't know the difference between a stock and a bond,"
HONDERICH replied.
"You'll learn,"
HINDMARSH said.
HONDERICH told
HINDMARSH he would take the job on the condition
that he be allowed to go back to feature writing if it didn't
work out.
"If you don't make a go of it, you'll go out the door,"
HINDMARSH
said in a menacing way.
It goes without saying that
HONDERICH made a go of it.
One of the first things he noticed from his new desk was a tailor
at work in a building across King St. He decided his business
section would write for that tailor, for the ordinary person.
His News Hall of Fame citation noted: "He led in turning the
writing and presentation of financial news into a readable subject
in terms that interest the average reader." He criticized the
stock exchange, questioned banking methods, recommended profit
sharing, and supported credit unions and other co-operatives.
But when there were major stories to be covered,
HINDMARSH often
took HONDERICH out of his financial department and sent him all
over the globe -- to Newfoundland on the eve of its joining Canada,
to Argentina where press freedom was under attack, to Asia with
Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent for the first round-the-world
trip taken by a Canadian prime minister, and
to Britain for the
funeral of George VI.
In 1948, HONDERICH, along with 12 other employees, chartered
the first Canadian local of the American Newspaper Guild. As
president of the union, he signed the first contract with the
Star.
Some members of the union were suspicious, however, thinking
that as financial editor he was "a company stooge" trying to
make sure the Guild didn't fall into the hands of disgruntled
left-wingers.
They weren't aware, however, that he knew all about bad working
conditions because he had done both day and night assignments
as a young reporter in Kitchener.
He served three terms as Guild president and helped win better
pay and working conditions. Later, on the other side of the negotiating
table, he continued to believe in the need for an organized newsroom,
although that view was severely tested in a bitter strike in
HONDERICH had become a major force in the newsroom when
ATKINSON
died in 1948 after nearly 50 years as publisher of a racy paper
with principles.
His death, however, created a crisis at the paper.
ATKINSON's
will had left the Star to a charitable foundation to be administered
by his trustees. However, the Ontario Conservative government
passed the Charitable Gifts Act, which said no charity could
own more than 10 per cent of a business.
The government may have viewed the will as an attempt to escape
death duties, but more likely the legislation was an attempt
to muzzle the Star, a liberal thorn in the Tory side.
Nevertheless, it became a distinct possibility the paper might
be sold to outside interests. Bidders, including beer baron E.P.
TAILOR/TAYLOR, were lining up for a chance to buy what had become Canada's
most profitable daily.
The Star was granted stays of execution however, and
HINDMARSH,
the founder's son-in-law, succeeded
ATKINSON until his own death
in 1956. In the
HINDMARSH years, the paper seemed to lose direction
and much of its fairness, particularly in the reporting of politics.
The paper's reputation was going downhill.
Meanwhile,
HONDERICH had been appointed editor-in-chief in 1955
and a couple of years later he was appointed to the board, after
HINDMARSH's sudden death. It put him in the position of becoming
an owner of the paper.
Walter GORDON, an accountant who was to become finance minister
in Lester Pearson's Liberal government, worked out a plan for
the trustees to buy the Star by putting up $1 million among the
six of them, including
HONDERICH.
The paper was valued at $25.5
million.
At the time, the sale price was the most ever paid in Canada
for a newspaper, and it turned out to be a steal. Under
HONDERICH's
leadership, Torstar, the Star's parent company, would become
a more than $1 billion enterprise over the next 30-plus years.
For readers and the staff, the
HONDERICH years had begun, although
he didn't take over as publisher until 1966. Immediately, however,
he went about remaking the paper. Headlines didn't scream any
more, and the silly and the sensational disappeared from the
paper.
HONDERICH was putting his stamp on the Star. Reporting only the
facts wasn't good enough. He demanded thorough backgrounding
of stories to make them understandable to the average reader.
Or, as he said, for "my barber."
He created a great newsroom that included sports columnist
DUNNELL
and leading Canadian writers such as Pierre
BERTON,
Peter
NEWMAN,
Charles TEMPLETON and Nathan
COHEN, as well as award-winning
cartoonist Duncan
MacPHERSON.
HONDERICH returned the Star to the principles of Joseph E.
ATKINSON,
including a reform-centred editorial policy. Unemployment, affordable
housing, adequate welfare benefits, medicare, pensions, minority
rights, the need for an independent Canada -- these became subjects
he demanded be dealt with on a daily basis.
In one of his rare public appearances, he told a group of editors
in 1961 that "the basic function of a newspaper is to inform,
to tell the public what is happening in the community, in the
nation and in the world. You will notice I did not use the word,
entertain." He felt that television had made entertainment a
secondary function for newspapers. "How much better then, to
concentrate on what we can do best, and that is to inform the
public."
The change was most evident in the Star's treatment of politics
and economics. The background feature gradually became commonplace
in North American journalism, and a poll of U.S. editors rated
the Star one of the world's 10 top foreign papers.
Critics of the
HONDERICH way -- many of them highly placed in
the paper -- couldn't wait for
HONDERICH's grey, humourless Star
to fail, but they were doomed to disappointment, just as surely
as the Star's competitor -- the unchanging Telegram -- was doomed
to extinction.
Not only did the Star's circulation grow, so did its profits.
Honesty and integrity were words that most people associated
with HONDERICH.
But many on his staff found him a demanding taskmaster,
an uncompromising and often difficult man to deal with. There
was never any doubt that Beland
HONDERICH was the boss. He wasn't
one for chit-chat.
Early in his career as publisher, he all but cut himself off
from the social whirl of movers and shakers. He admitted to becoming
almost reclusive after finding himself challenged at social functions
and parties to defend Star policies he felt needed no defence,
especially since he had put them into place.
But he never felt that way about the public at large. The so-called
Little Guy could get him on the phone more easily than a celebrity
could. His home number was in the book. And in the days when
the Star was an afternoon paper, it wasn't unusual for an evening
editor to get a call from
HONDERICH, who in turn had received
an irate call at home from a reader whose paper hadn't been delivered.
The paper would be delivered by taxi, and the taxi company was
instructed to report to the editor the moment the paper had arrived.
Then HONDERICH would phone the reader to make sure he was satisfied.
The first part of his 12-hour working day was spent poring over
page proofs, quarrelling about leads of stories, questioning
something in the 25th paragraph, asking for more background,
and demanding follow-ups.
He was articulate, often painfully so for the person at the other
end of his complaints. His editors took great pleasure when he
demanded "antidotal" leads. He meant anecdotal leads.
Notes with the heavy-handed
BHH signature on them rained from
his office.
The difficulty everyone had in pleasing him and the way he prowled
the newsroom won him the nickname "The Beast." And he was called
"Drac" by some editors who thought he, like the vampire, sucked
the staff dry.
When the paper departed from what the reader had come to believe
was a Star tradition, he took to the typewriter to explain the
reasons himself. In 1972, for example, he put his initials on
an editorial that explained why the Star was supporting Progressive
Conservative Robert Stanfield over Liberal Pierre Trudeau in
the federal election.
In his rare public appearances, the nasal flatness of his voice
often disguised the passion he felt for a subject. However, he
was an effective spokesman for the causes he championed. In defending
the Star's strong stand on economic nationalism, he told the
Canadian Club it was based on the need to preserve the differences
between Canada and the United States.
"I think our society tends to be more compassionate, somewhat
less extreme and certainly less violent," he said. "We put more
emphasis on basic human needs such as health insurance and pensions."
He warned that increased U.S. ownership of Canadian resources
would endanger our ability to maintain those differences.
In a 1989 speech at Carleton University in Ottawa, he caused
a stir when he argued that objectivity in newspapers was neither
possible nor desirable.
"No self-respecting newspaper deliberately distorts or slants
the news to make it conform to its own point of view," he said.
"But you cannot publish a newspaper without making value judgments
on what news you select to publish and how you present it in
the paper.
"And these value judgments reflect a view of society -- a point
of view if you will -- that carries as much weight, if not more,
than what is said on the editorial page."
Just as
ATKINSON used the news pages to popularize reform ideas,
HONDERICH used them as a weapon in his own causes.
One example was his reaction to a document leaked to him outlining
then-prime minister Brian Mulroney's government strategy on free
trade. It said the communications strategy "should rely less
on educating the public than getting across the message that
the free trade initiative is a good idea -- in other words a
selling job."
HONDERICH made sure all aspects of free trade were put under
the kind of scrutiny the government wanted to avoid, particularly
the possible effects on employment and social benefits.
Simon REISMAN, the bellicose chief trade negotiator, accused
HONDERICH of personally waging a vendetta against free trade.
He said HONDERICH used the Star "in a manner that contradicts
every sense of fairness and decency in the newspaper business."
In reply, the unrepentant publisher said: "The role of a newspaper,
as I see it, is to engage in the full and frank dissemination
of the news and opinion from the perspective of its values and
particular view of society. It should report the news fairly
and accurately, reflect all pertinent facts and opinions and
not only what the official establishment thinks and says."
As publisher, he demonstrated an impressive business savvy for
a man who once said he hardly knew the difference between a stock
and a bond. In 1972, he moved the paper to new quarters at One
Yonge St.
And later, in his position as chief executive officer of the
parent company, Torstar Corp., he acquired Harlequin Enterprises,
the world's largest publisher of romance books, and 15 community
newspapers to add to the 14 the Star already owned in the Toronto
area.
At the same time,
HONDERICH still was very much making his mark
in journalism. He was the first in Canada to introduce a bureau
of accuracy and to appoint an ombudsman to represent the reader
in the newsroom. In a wider sense, he was the main force behind
the establishment of the Ontario Press Council, where readers
can take their complaints to an independent body.
As well as his election to the News Hall of Fame, he was honoured
in other ways, receiving doctors of law degrees from Wilfrid
Laurier and York universities, and the Order of Canada in 1987.
HONDERICH was married three times, the last time on New Year's
Day 2000 to Rina
WHELAN of Vancouver, the city where he lived
until his death. He had two sons: John, who followed in his father's
footsteps to become publisher of the Star, and David, an entrepreneur
and one daughter, Mary, a philosophy and English teacher. He
also had six grandchildren.
Even into his eighties,
HONDERICH exercised daily and loved to
play bridge, golf and fish.
Charles E.
PASCAL, executive director of the Atkinson Charitable
Foundation, recalled golfing with
HONDERICH after he had entered
his eighties.
PASCAL was in his mid-fifties.
"I expected to be slowed down by playing with a couple of guys
in their seventies and one in his eighties,"
PASCAL said. "Bee,
as with everything else, played golf with determination, focus
and tenacity. I was quite impressed with his golfing. He was
very competitive."
After HONDERICH stepped down as publisher in 1988, and as a director
of Torstar in 1995, he lost none of his zeal for pursuing causes.
He did this through the Atkinson Charitable Foundation and his
own personal philanthropy.
"His role on our board was absolutely essential, forceful, radical,"
PASCAL said.
"I had the sense that the older he got he became more and more
impatient. He was impatient, just impatient, about all that is
yet to be done by governments and others to reduce the inequities
for those who are disadvantaged through no fault of their own."
He was generous in his giving and, as was his character, he had
no interest in public recognition or praise.
"He just had no time whatsoever for personal recognition,"
PASCAL
recalled.
"I think he would have liked to have been around forever if for
no other reason than to contribute more."
At HONDERICH's request, there will be a cremation, after which
the family will hold a small private gathering to celebrate his
life.
