BAZALLGETTE,
Ian
Willoughby, 1944 -- Died This Day
Friday, August 5, 2005, Page S7
Bomber pilot born in Calgary on October 19, 1918
The son of an army pensioner, his family moved to Toronto when
he was 5. He attended Balmy Beach School in eastern Toronto until
his family moved again, this time to England, where he finished
his education at private school and by private tutor.
In September of 1940, he received a commission in the Royal Artillery
but didn't stay and transferred to the Royal Air Force Volunteer
Reserve. In 1941, he completed his training as a bomber pilot
and was posted to No. 115 Squadron. He was promoted to lieutenant
in 1943 and became a squadron leader. The following April, he
transferred to Squadron 635, a pathfinder unit.
On August 4, 1944, his Lancaster came under intense fire on a
mission to Trossy St. Maxim, France. With his starboard engines
destroyed and his fuselage on fire, he pressed on and completed
the raid, after which he ordered the crew to bail out. Somehow,
he was able to bring the crippled aircraft under control and
make a forced landing, sparing a French village in the process.
The Lancaster safely came to a stop but then burst into flames.
He and two of his crew died. He was awarded a posthumous Victoria
Cross.

David BAZAY,
Journalist (1939-2005)
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ombudsman started out as a
bilingual reporter who specialized in human-interest stories.
He liked to wear funny hats on camera when he disapproved of
an assignment
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, November
1, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- David
BAZAY was the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's
second ombudsman. For 10 years, he dealt with thousands of complaints
from the public about everything from the contents of radio and
television programs to the perceived bias of reporters.
Though he came from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation himself,
Mr. BAZAY didn't always side with the network. In the last report
he issued, he said the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation should
follow the example of the British Broadcasting Corporation and
publish a complaints page on its website.
"David always had an open mind, both as a reporter and as ombudsman.
He wouldn't rush to judgment," said Vince
CARLIN, who takes over
as ombudsman in January and who worked with Mr.
BAZAY at Canadian
Broadcasting
Corporation
Montreal in the 1970s. Mr.
BAZAY was
to have retired this month but had agreed to stay on until Mr.
CARLIN took over.
Mr. BAZAY grew up in Elma, Manitoba, near Winnipeg, where his
father ran a general store. He graduated from the University
of Western Ontario in 1961 and then went to Montreal, where he
studied at the Université de Montréal, perfecting his French.
He worked for The Canadian Press for three years before heading
to Paris to work as a freelancer, filing reports for the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, among others. He joined the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation in Montreal in 1972 as a regional reporter
in local television news. He quickly graduated to the post of
national reporter, covering Quebec during the 1976 election when
the Parti Québécois took office.
Mr. BAZAY was not only bilingual, but had a deep understanding
of French culture through his wife, Viviane, and her family.
He spoke French at home with his wife and their two children.
He was also involved in a strawberry-farming business with his
father-in-law and brother-in-law. During the summer, Mr.
BAZAY
would work on weekends and during his vacation at the family
"u-pick" farm south of Montreal.
While working on his farm, Mr.
BAZAY thought about how television
covered the news. He felt the audience was bored with pictures
of news conferences and clips of politicians. He found a way
to tell stories that held people's interest and still conveyed
the same information.
"He specialized in human-interest stories and would always find
something to illustrate an issue," recalled Bill Casey, who,
as a cameraman, worked with Mr.
BAZAY in Montreal from 1976 to
1980. "David found a man in the Gaspé who was a federalist married
to a separatist. He and his wife would argue in the kitchen,
and it became a metaphor for the tensions in Quebec leading up
to the 1980 referendum."
After the referendum, Mr.
BAZAY was assigned to Paris, where
he covered Europe and the Middle East.
"He was one of the first reporters to arrive after the massacre
at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon," said John
Owen, who was foreign editor of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
News at the time. "I can still remember the tone of his voice.
Calm, without adjectives, just describing the horror there."
In September of 1982, Lebanese Maronite Christian militias had
entered the camps and massacred hundreds of Palestinian who lived
there.
Because he was fluent in French, Mr.
BAZAY was able to report
for both the French and English networks of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation. At home and overseas, he had adopted an unusual
habit of signalling whether he liked the story he had been assigned.
If he disapproved of it, he would wear a funny hat -- either
a tuque or a beret -- on camera. In those days, he filmed his
pieces at the last minute, so editors couldn't change the shot.
When he returned to Canada, Mr.
BAZAY became a producer, eventually
becoming executive producer of the national news and chief news
editor in 1993. He became ombudsman on November 1, 1995.
Away from work Mr.
BAZAY was a keen golfer and skier. He enjoyed
fly-fishing and would often go salmon fishing with a friend near
Bathurst, New Brunswick He spent much time of late at a family
cottage north of Kingston, Ontario
David BAZAY was born in Winnipeg on July 12, 1939. He died of
a heart attack in Toronto on October 30, 2005. He was 66. He
leaves his wife, Viviane, and his children Dominique and Thierry.

Solly CANTOR,
Boxer: 1928-2005
Canadian lightweight who was more artful practitioner than brawler
skillfully put away a parade of champions but never won a title
himself
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, March
8, 2005 - Page S9
Solly CANTOR fought his way into the Canadian Boxing Hall of
Fame despite never having won a professional title. Not blessed
with knockout power, yet clever in using a debilitating left
fist, Mr. CANTOR was more boxer than brawler. He won 41 professional
fights, only six by knockout. He lost 14 and drew eight.
His nemesis in the ring was Montrealer Armand Savoie, against
whom he had four fights in 1951 that were remembered for their
spilt blood, much of it Mr.
CANTOR's. He twice battled Mr. Savoie
for the Canadian lightweight championship, losing both by decisions.
One of those verdicts was widely considered to have been a travesty.
Mr. CANTOR earned his place among boxing immortals with non-title
victories over a talented selection of lightweight titleholders
Frank Johnson (a Commonwealth champion); Billy Thompson (British
and European); Elis Ask of Finland (European); and Tommy McGovern
(British).
A stinging left hand was Mr.
CANTOR's calling card in the ring.
He was adept at delivering a jab, a hook or a cross with that
hand, a skill learned as a cocky amateur fighting out of the
Central Young Men's Christian Association in his hometown.
Solly Cantor
BONAPARTE was born in Toronto, the
son of a taxi
driver. His father, Louis
CANTOROVICI, was a Romanian native
whose family name had been altered to Bonaparte by a mischievous
immigration officer. The Bonaparte children -- there would be
four in all -- were born and raised in a house on Parliament
Street south of Queen. Their Corktown neighbourhood was one in
which it was advantageous to know how to punch.
The boy took up fighting after admiring boxers at a gym. His
parents disapproved and never watched any of his matches; his
siblings attended bouts at Maple Leaf Gardens, but would wait
in the corridor, unable to bear the sight of Solly being hit.
Happily, he was more likely to administer punishment than absorb
it. That fast left fist allowed 17-year-old Solly
BONAPARTE to
score a close decision over Joe
McPHEE -- one of the Fighting
McPhees from Oshawa, Ontario -- to claim the Ontario amateur
title in the 126-pound division on May 16, 1946.
Turning pro later that year as Solly
CANTOR, he moved to Paterson,
New Jersey, from where he was often added to the undercard of
programs at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. After building
an impressive 24-4-2 record, Mr.
CANTOR moved to London, where
he defeated Mr. Thompson, Mr. McGovern and Mr. Ask, all by decision.
A dispute with his manager led to a nine-month layoff. Mr.
CANTOR
returned to his hometown, where his fortunes became a staple
of the sports pages. The reporters often called attention to
the size of his nose, playing to a racial stereotype in common
currency at the time.
Mr. CANTOR's boxing trunks bore a Star of David on the left leg,
a sign not only of pride but also a nod to the unsubtle marketing
of his sport. Some fans came to cheer a Jewish champion, others
to see him beaten.
The first of four battles with Mr. Savoie in 1951 ended after
the eighth round, with Mr.
CANTOR needing six stitches to close
a gash across the bridge of his nose. The losing fighter said
a head butt had caused the wound; the victor insisted the cut
came courtesy of "a stinging right cross." In any case, Mr.
CANTOR
had suffered only the second knockout of his career.
Mr. CANTOR won a rematch in June, setting the stage for a much-anticipated
third showdown, this one before Mr. Savoie's fans in Montreal,
with the Canadian championship in the balance. Mr.
CANTOR scored
often with his left, staggering Mr. Savoie with a straight-arm
right in the sixth round.
As the bell rang at the end of the 12th and final round, the
conclusion seemed clear, as boxing promoter Frank Tunney, sitting
at ringside, would later describe: "The fight was so one-sided
in CANTOR's favour that when the announcer first said, 'Winner
by a unanimous decision...,' a bunch of us at ringside were busy
talking and took it for granted the decision was
CANTOR's, as
it should have been. But when he added 'Savoie,' we nearly fell
off our chairs. Then he had to correct himself to say it was
a split decision. The partisan French fans booed the judges for
minutes on end. Solly was jobbed."
The unpopular decision made necessary another obligatory rematch,
held in Toronto six weeks later. Having lost the previous fight
at ringside, Mr.
CANTOR was not eager to allow the judges to
settle the match. "I'm going out for a knockout," he said. "Maybe
this one won't go the scheduled 12 rounds."
With an uncharacteristic aggressiveness, Mr.
CANTOR lunged toward
the champion in the opening round. The strategy was at first
successful, but Mr. Savoie was soon crowding the challenger,
absorbing his best shots with his gloves. A unanimous decision
in the champ's favour was regarded as a just verdict.
"Solly is a terrific boxer, but he fought my kind of fight tonight,"
Mr. Savoie said. "I know if I tried to box him, I was beaten
before I started. You have to work all the time against him.
You have to stay inside him. And when you do hit him, he fights
back and he won't fold."
After losing two fights in Alberta to George Dunn, an American
who once arrived at Toronto airport and asked a cabbie to take
him to Edmonton, Mr.
CANTOR returned to England, where he ended
his professional career and took up permanent residence.
His final bout came on October 4, 1955, when he scored a victory
on points over Frank Johnson, the Manchester lightweight who
had briefly held the Commonwealth title two years earlier.
Only 11 of Mr.
CANTOR's 63 fights were held in Canada.
Mr. CANTOR worked as a court clerk after leaving the ring. A
first marriage ended in divorce. He became a Methodist when he
married his second wife.
In recent years, the old fighter found a renewed sense of purpose
by joining the Croydon Ex-Boxers' Association. The group was
"one big, happy family," Mr.
CANTOR wrote Vancouver Sun boxing
columnist Graham Houston seven years ago. "We were all part and
parcel of each others' past."
Mr. CANTOR continued to attend meetings last year, even as he
lost the use of his limbs from the motor-neuron disease that
would claim his life. No one expected any less; he had answered
the bell for every round of every fight but for four.
Solly CANTOR was born in Toronto on September 18, 1928 (although
some boxing references put his birth date two years earlier).
He died at his home in suburban Mitcham, outside London, England,
on January 28, 2005. He leaves his second wife, Miriam; Brenda
RAWSON, a daughter from his first marriage; brother Harold
BONAPARTE
and sisters Toby
BAZKUR and Sarah
