and her father William Oliver
STEVENSON, a surgeon. She survived
meningitis and rheumatic fever as an adolescent but was left
with a damaged heart. Kay and her future husband Gordon met as
teenagers, and after an appropriate courtship, they married in
September 1944. Kay moved with Gordon's career, which focused
on polyester textiles, first with C.I.L. and later with Celanese
Canada. As mother to three busy boys, she cared for the family
homes in Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton and Montreal with diligence
and creativity. After Gordon's retirement in 1978, Kay and Gord
settled in Kingston and passed idyllic summers with family and
many Friends at their beloved cottage on Bob's Lake, near Westport,
Ontario. Kay's old-Ontario culinary mastery, including her signature
sweet red pepper sauce, was enjoyed by dozens of visitors from
across Canada and around the world. She enjoyed nature, games
and reading, and followed the lives of her family and many Friends
with much interest and affection. Kay endured two open heart
surgeries, first in 1965, and again in 1981 to insert a mechanical
heart valve. The valve, which was designed to operate for some
ten years, was still functioning at the end of her long, rich
and productive life. Relatives and Friends are invited to a memorial
service for Kay, to be held in Kingston, Ontario, during the
autumn of 2005. Details will be announced. In lieu of flowers,
donations to the Canadian Wildlife Federation would be gratefully
appreciated.

Bill HARCOURT, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Producer 1925-2005
Newspaper reporter who switched to broadcasting launched Newsmagazine,
Ombudsman, Tuesday Night and Marketplace
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, August
23, 2005, Page S9
Bill HARCOURT pretty well invented the television documentary.
An experienced reporter and editor who cut his teeth working
for Canadian and British wire services, he helped develop two
areas of television news: live specials and long features.
He started working in television news in 1960, only eight years
after it came on the air in Canada and by 1969 he was the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation's main man on the biggest story of the
year -- if not the decade. In late July of that year, astronauts
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon and Bill
HARCOURT
spent 26 hours straight in a control room masterminding coverage
for a captivated Canadian audience.
As the head of News Specials, he co-ordinated coverage from the
United States and across Canada. It was a complex broadcast,
hosted in Canada by the eccentric Gordon
DONALDSON, a Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation reporter with a thick Scottish brogue.
What Mr. HARCOURT was doing was, in fact, creating what is now
called a long-form documentary, building excitement into the
empty space when the astronauts were just travelling. He had
experience with live television -- political conventions and
elections -- still the most difficult form of broadcasting since
mistakes can't be edited.
The documentary form of television was something he helped mould
at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, first as a producer
with Newsmagazine, travelling around the world with a cameraman,
soundman and reporter, then with a weekly documentary series,
Tuesday Night.
"He made a real contribution, in my book, to establishing the
documentary on television. There was already the National Film
Board of Canada form, but the television documentary had to be
invented," said Michael
MacLEAR, a television reporter and documentary
maker who worked with Mr.
HARCOURT in the 1960s.
"Bill HARCOURT is one of the great unsung heroes of news and
current affairs," said Mr.
MacLEAR. "And he was my favourite
executive producer."
Well-read and confident, he let the reporter get on with telling
the story -- all of which made him easy to work with. All his
former colleagues mentioned his good manners and even temper.
Ray HAZZAN, who was executive producer of Newsmagazine before
Mr. HARCOURT took the job, said he was so polite and well dressed
that others took to calling him The Senator.
Bill HARCOURT grew up in Guelph, Ontario, the
son of doctor.
He graduated from Guelph Collegiate Institute and went on to
Loyola College in Montreal.
During summers Mr.
HARCOURT worked on passenger ships on the
Great Lakes. At that time, it was a popular form of travel from
ports such as Toronto, Detroit and Duluth. He started as a cabin
boy and worked his way up to chief purser.
One of the ships on which he was purser was The Noronic, known
as the Queen of the Great Lakes. As it happened, a disastrous
fire aboard the Noronic was also his first and only front-page
story at the Kitchener Waterloo Record where he had taken a job
as a junior reporter. The ship was moored overnight in Toronto
when a little after 2 a.m. on September 15, 1949, fire raged
through its five decks. Of the 571 passengers -- mostly Americans
sailing from Detroit -- and 174 crew on board, 119 died.
As luck would have it, Bill
HARCOURT was in Toronto that night
and reported the tragedy back to his newspaper. "It was particularly
tough for Bill," said his wife, Nada
HARCOURT. "He knew many
of the crew members on board the Noronic."
A short while later, Mr.
HARCOURT went to work for Canadian Press
in Toronto and almost right away moved to New York to cover two
different beats: the United Nations and Broadway. For him, it
was no trouble to juggle show business and international politics
and that impressed his boss, Gil
PURCELL, who wanted him to come
home and report from across Canada. Instead, Mr.
HARCOURT went
to London and worked on the North American desk at Reuters.
After five years, he returned home to a job at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation where he was made a writer and line-up editor on
The National, but soon moved to Newsmagazine, a weekly half-hour
program that took an in-depth look at stories.
Michael MacLEAR recalled there were two types of stories that
made it on Newsmagazine: longer-form news items on stories of
the day, and features. During the 1960's and early 1970's, Mr.
HARCOURT accompanied such Newsmagazine reporters as Mr.
MacLEAR
and William
STEVENSON to cover stories in South Africa, Vietnam
and Russia.
"He was much under-estimated," said Mr.
STEVENSON, who went on
to write A Man Called Intrepid, the story of the Canadian spymaster
William STEPHENSON. "
One of the reasons he was so easy to get
on with was that he didn't need to bolster his importance as
so many executive producers do."
In late 1969, after the success of the moon walk and Newsmagazine,
Mr. HARCOURT became executive producer of Thursday Night, the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's flagship documentary program.
The show later changed its broadcast night and name to Tuesday
Night.
In January of 1974, Mr.
HARCOURT started the program, Ombudsman,
with Robert
COOPER, an unknown 28-year-old lawyer. With Mr.
COOPER
acting as a crusader for the little guy, Ombudsman was a first
in Canadian broadcasting.
"He was very serious about his work and kept the program out
of legal trouble," remembered Mr.
COOPER. "I think I was nervous
and difficult at first but he was patient."
After seven years on the program, Mr.
COOPER went on to be a
successful producer in Hollywood where he still works. "I learned
from Bill how to take a subject that seems to be educational
and earnest and turn it into compelling television."
In 1977, Mr.
HARCOURT also took over as executive producer for
Marketplace, the long-running consumer-affairs program. It was
perhaps the only time one person was executive producer of two
major network programs at the same time. He finished his Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation career at The Journal, where he worked
as a senior adviser.
William Vernon
HARCOURT was born on January 23, 1925 in Guelph,
Ontario. He died on August 7, 2005. He is survived by his wife
Nada, daughter Shelagh and brother John.

I Remember -- Beland
HONDERICH
By Geoff STEVENSON,
Saturday,
November 12, 2005, Page S9
Brentwood
Bay,
British Columbia -- Beland
HONDERICH (also known
to his staff as
BHH) was one of the few newspaper publishers
in the world who was in the office almost every Saturday.
From 1973 to 1976, I edited the Saturday edition of the Toronto
Star. Bee would appear in the newsroom mid-morning as we readied
the final edition (the Star was an afternoon paper in those days),
always dressed in grey flannel slacks, navy-blue blazer, white
shirt and tie -- and highly polished black shoes.
One morning, he came by to tell me he'd been listening to Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation radio, which had carried a report by
English researchers who had found that the loneliest people in
Britain were those in big cities -- although, paradoxically,
they were surrounded by myriad things to do. Bee thought our
readers would be interested in the research.
The Star's switchboard soon found Frank Jones, the Star's resident
reporter in London (this was long before the advent of cell phones),
and I briefed Frank on the story, asking him to file for Monday's
paper.
The story arrived over the weekend -- with the notation "
BHH
requested." I had no further involvement with it, but it appeared
on the front page on Monday. The Star was the only Canadian paper
to carry the story.
It was not a remarkable story. What was remarkable was Bee's
passion for his paper: He was in the office when most other senior
managers were on the golf course or at the cottage -- and he
knew an interesting story.
He was a difficult man to work for, but then, aren't all really
good managers demanding? He was a giant on the Canadian media
scene.

Kay SNELGROVE, 84: Intrepid spy and courier
Part of legendary spy operation
Kept quiet about her wartime work throughout life
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Every family has its secrets. And had the 1976 bestseller A Man
Called
Intrepid, not been written, Kay
SNELGROVE's family might
never have learned of hers.
As a teenaged schoolgirl attending Emerson College in Boston
and regularly going back home to Saint John, New Brunswick, to
visit Friends and family in the early years of World War 2, she
helped deliver dozens of covert messages from Britain's war offices
that ultimately went to those of American president Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
She was part of the largest intelligence operation in history
run by Canadian Sir William
STEPHENSON, secret envoy for British
prime minister Winston Churchill and the man code-named Intrepid.
After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, catapulting the Americans
into the war, she was pulled out of school and brought home.
Like many women, she went to work for the war effort; unlike
many women, she was a code runner, a young woman with war knowledge
considered so vital, she was assigned an Royal Canadian Mounted
Police undercover officer to accompany her to and from her work
at the naval yards.
She had taken an oath of secrecy and she kept it until author
William STEVENSON's book was published. It described what is
generally believed to be a masterful campaign by Britain to draw
the U.S. out of its isolationist policy into the war effort to
defeat the Nazis.
STEPHENSON ran it out of the British Security
Co-ordination Office in Rockefeller Center. Its cable address
was Intrepid. But
SNELGROVE took no joy in telling her children
about what she did in the war.
It was the late '70s and by then she was a single mom living
in Brampton raising June, her youngest and the only child still
at home. Her country club and cocktail-party lifestyle had ended
in 1969 when her husband, Don, left her and she became one of
the first women of her set to divorce and downsize to a lifestyle
that came without the backyard pool.
She'd picked up the pieces and applied for her first job since
she was married, as a receptionist at the Brampton Daily Times,
a now defunct Thomson newspaper.
SNELGROVE had stunned her boss
when she had put down the name of Ken Thomson himself as a reference.
She went on to head the paper's classified ad section until she
retired in 1986.
Reading STEVENSON's bestseller was "bittersweet" for her, her
daughter Mary
NORWOOD said.
According to her son, David
SNELGROVE, when the book came out
she realized she could finally talk about what she did -- but
the only person she wanted to talk to about it had died in 1972.
"She always said she regretted never talking to her father about
it," he said.
Because she always believed -- but never knew for sure -- that
it was her father who volunteered her for the secret agent job.
Thomas MARTIN was a successful consultant working for the federal
government rescuing foundering companies in the Dirty Thirties.
Although a lifelong Tory, he was a close colleague of and often
on call to Liberal prime minister Mackenzie
KING, whom his only
child took to calling "Uncle Mac."
Her mother, Rose, an opera singer in Britain, made sure her daughter
had every lesson imaginable: jazz, piano, ballet, tap, even acrobatic
dance. She grew up in increasingly comfortable and influential
homes in the West, then Montreal, where she became Friends with
a young man named Pierre Elliott Trudeau whom she always called
Elliott, and on to Saint John, where the family lived two blocks
from the home of K.S. Irving and where she pitched on the same
baseball team as two of his sons.
Talented, athletic and a whiz with numbers like her father, Kay
MARTIN graduated from high school at 15. She never understood
why her father insisted she attend Emerson College in Boston,
where she studied dance and theatre with a great-grand_son of
Davy Crockett.
She was in her second year when she was taken to the basement
of a museum in Saint John where a man swore her to secrecy, told
it had been cleared with her father, and conscripted her to serve
her country.
That's how a tiny (she was 5-foot-1 and 99 pounds) convent-educated
college girl became a King's Courier, blithely carrying white
envelopes across the border. She knew only what she had to do
she never knew who else was involved or what purposes the
documents she was delivering served.
From her home in Saint John, she'd call a particular cab to drive
her to the train station. When it arrived she would say to the
driver, "Do you have something for me?" He would reach back over
the seat and hand her a sealed envelope she'd put in her school
papers.
She never told her children how she knew which Boston cabbie
to hail, but once in the cab she had merely to say, "Take me
to my dorm," and the driver would ask if she had something for
him. And so it went, for two years, until 1941, her senior year,
when she got a call demanding she come home for American Thanksgiving.
In Saint John, she again went to the museum basement where she
was given another white envelope but this time told what message
it contained, and then given different instructions and a combination
of numbers and letters to memorize. She never forgot the message:
It stated a large flotilla of Japanese battleships was heading
for either Pearl Harbor or San Francisco, estimated time of arrival
was December 6 or 7.
And she was to deliver that message to the British consul.
On December 6 she was studying in her dorm when her frantic roommate
burst in announcing the Japanese bombing. "Pearl Harbor or San
Francisco?"
MARTIN blurted. It was the first time she had let
anything slip and she thought it had gone unnoticed. But a half-hour
later, her roommate wanted to know how
MARTIN knew where the
bombing was. She thought fast and said, "There are only two American
naval bases on the west coast," which satisfied her roommate.
Almost immediately, she got a phone call ordering her home. With
four months to go before she completed her degree and being of
an independent nature, she refused, but the next day discovered
her bank account had been emptied and closed, and when she returned
to her room, a train ticket had been left on her bed. She never
did graduate but went to work ostensibly as a secretary back
in Canada.
Again, she was told where she would be working: at the New Brunswick
Captor II naval base. Her job description was as a civilian secretary,
but it was a cover for her work as an intelligence officer decoding
cipher machines for critical naval operations. Once, she was
hauled back to the base to run some codes on a suspicious ship
in the Bay of Fundy with an outdated code. She identified it
as an American vessel that had crossed the international dateline,
and saved it from being blown up.
Decades later, she went into therapy to help with her resurfacing
nightmares about working triage -- boarding ships to document
the human devastation of war -- but when the war ended, she re-entered
civilian life with gusto. The '50s found her living a Leave It
To Beaver kind of life with the executive husband and three kids.
"She became Mrs. Mom," said
NORWOOD.
Her mother taught her how to serve hors d'oeuvres at their parties,
but she also taught her how to do a mean cartwheel. When daughter
June YOUNG wasn't going to be able to take a night school gym
class because of low enrolment, Kay
SNELGROVE signed on and took
the course. "I got a 79 and she got 84," said
YOUNG.
When YOUNG started dating, her mother mentioned that she had
been taught how to kill a man with a hatpin. Once, she showed
her son an old bullet and told him it had been given to her at
the end of the war by a man who said, "This had your name on
it, Katie. We got him."
David SNELGROVE did some research on the Internet and found the
bullet is a type issued to many European World War 2 military
officers. "It could have been a true story," he said. " It's
a great story and I don't have any reason not to believe it."
His mother was parsimonious with her war stories, however, never
mentioning names, and tight-lipped about identifying details,
as she had been trained to be. She never saw her role in the
war as heroic. "I would say Mom felt it was her duty," said
NORWOOD.
"She sure loved her country. She loved being a Canadian."
SNELGROVE died April 25 in Brampton. She was 84 and had been
suffering from Alzheimer's disease. She used to say she should
write her memoirs, but she never did, perhaps because she was
true to her word and kept her secrets.

STEVENSON,
Charles▼
A.,▼ P.Eng.
Born in Saint John's, Newfoundland on May 1st, 1933; passed away
peacefully in Bowmanville on December 13, 2005. Charles A.
STEVENSON
moved to Toronto with his family at the age of ten. Following
graduation from the University of Toronto with a degree in Civil
Engineering, Charlie
STEVENSON was employed by McNamara Construction
during construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the late 1950's.
He then transferred to their engineering division where he quickly
rose to the position of Engineering Manager, responsible for
all of the engineering work undertaken by one of the largest
consulting engineering firms of the day. Mr.
STEVENSON left McNamara
to become a founding partner of
SHAL
Consulting▼
Engineers.▼
Clients
included Public Works Canada, Transport Canada, National Harbours
Board and many private sector corporations. The first significant
overseas project was the Rodney Bay Development in St. Lucia.
This involved creating a new inland lagoon and tourism development
in what originally was a mosquito infested area. Next in the
Caribbean was a feasibility study, final design and construction
of the Deep Water Harbour Extension for the Port of Bridgetown,
Barbados. This led to many other significant projects including
the Montego Bay, Jamaica Coastal Development Project, for which
his firm received an Award of Merit from the Association of Consulting
Engineers of Canada; a Container Terminal in New York Harbour
and bulk marine terminals in St. Vincent and Haiti and the design
of the Dhow Harbour in Kuwait which created over 10 kilometres
of new docking facilities for local coastal vessels. In 1980,
the firm designed and supervised the construction of the Fish
Landing Terminal in Nassau, commencing a period of continuous
involvement in marine works and waterfront development in the
Bahamas. During the same period the firm was selected by Transport
Canada to carry out the Ontario Ports Study which established
the future needs for port facilities throughout the Great Lakes.
The growth of cruising in the Caribbean led to
SHAL becoming
deeply involved in cruise berths and passenger terminals throughout
the Caribbean. Significant projects included the expansion of
Nassau Harbour, new cruise berths at two of the Bahamas Family
Islands, 1800 feet of coastal vessel docks in Nassau and a cruise
ship pier in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1993, Mr.
STEVENSON
was involved with the Government of Turks and Caicos Islands in
carrying out a study to develop an island-wide Marine Transportation
Masterplan and to prepare the design and documents for the construction
of new port facilities. Over a career spanning more than 40 years
of professional practise, Charlie
STEVENSON was responsible for
the successful execution of marine engineering projects in Canada
and sixteen other countries, many of them developing nations
which derived considerable benefit from Mr.
STEVENSON's professional
expertise. He is survived by his loving family: wife Barbara,
daughter Lynne and sons Scott and Craig; in-laws Terry, Lisa,
Ann and seven grandchildren. His other loved ones include sister
Lavinia (Sheldon) and family, sister-in-law Gerry
PIESLEY and
family and Barb's brothers John (Judy), Bruce (Mary) and their
families. We mustn't forget his beloved dog "Niki". Private family
service will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2005 at the W.C.
Town Funeral Chapel, 110 Dundas St. E., Whitby, Ontario L1N 2H7
between noon and 2: 00 p.m. A "gathering" of Friends will be held
