Former Toronto Star reporter dies
Journalist Jack
CAHILL had storied career that spanned the globe
The Canadian Press, Page B12
Toronto - He grabbed a shark by the tail in Australia. He ate
braised bull's penis in Beijing. He drank three-mice wine in
Hong Kong with real dead mice at the bottom of the bottle.
And he found bliss in those summers spent sailing the Great Lakes,
sipping a rum and Coke, putting the world to rights with his
buddies.
Former
Toronto
Star reporter Jack
CAHILL, who died at age 79
Wednesday in Toronto after a lengthy illness, believed the best
way to get a story was, in his own words, "to see it, feel it,
touch it."
He had to be there, watching history unfold, regardless of the
danger.
"He was one of the last old-time journalists and the world was
his beat," said Michael
PIERI, a foreign editor at the Star in
the 1970s. "He represents an era that saw some of the best foreign
correspondents."
CAHILL won a National Newspaper Award for his account of escaping
Vietnam after the fall of Saigon in 1975.
He got onto one of the last evacuation helicopters out of Saigon,
which deposited him safely onto an American battleship. But
CAHILL
and a group of Vietnamese refugees were kicked off the ship in
the middle of the night because, as the captain told them, they
weren't Americans.
He spent six days as one of 8,000 passengers on a refugee ship
in the South China Sea. With only three small paper cups of water
a day, he endured incredible heat and used now-worthless Vietnamese
currency as toilet paper.
He recalled the adventure in an article he wrote for the Star
to mark his retirement in 1991. His tactile reporting style is
everywhere in his writing, grabbing readers through their senses:
"The holds smelled of urine and sweat... It was so hot down there
you could see the air. Hot, stinking air is yellow or purple."
CAHILL's family, living in Hong Kong at the time, had no news
of him for a week after he disappeared from Saigon. His eldest
son, Anthony, remembers when the family first found out
CAHILL
was alive and well.
"The irony was he'd gone from living on that ship, living on
nothing for six days, then we got a call (from him) from the
pool of the Canadian ambassador's residence in Manila. Having
a Scotch, I think."
Anthony says that was typical of his father's career - the James
Bond-like ease with which
CAHILL could switch from wearing a
flak jacket on a battle-field to a tuxedo.
CAHILL was born in Brisbane, Australia, in 1926. He finished
high school
just in time to enlist in the Royal Australian Air Force at the
end of Second
World War, too late to see any action.
"He ended up playing football for the
Royal
Australian
Air Force," says Marie,
CAHILL's wife of 48
years.
When CAHILL moved to Canada he worked for the Vancouver Sun as
its Ottawa bureau chief until 1965. Later that year, he started
at the Star as a reporter. He was appointed national editor in
1969, did a brief stint as Ottawa bureau chief in 1970, and worked
as the Star's Asian bureau chief from 1973 to 1978.
In addition to newspaper writing,
CAHILL published five books
and a collection of his adventures as a foreign correspondent
called If You Don't Like the War, Switch the Damn Thing Off!
Jack CAHILL is survived by Marie and their four children, Anthony,
Sally, Kerry and Patrick.

Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER, Sergeant-At-Arms (1935-2005)
The House of Commons' longest-serving sergeant-at-arms presented
the image of a man one would not wisely cross. He ran Parliament
Hill as a 'private fiefdom'
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, September
3, 2005, Page S7
Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER paraded daily into the House of Commons with a military
bearing befitting a retired major-general. As sergeant-at-arms,
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER handled responsibilities ranging from security to
the allotment of parking slots. His duties that gave him much
control over the day-to-day lives of members of Parliament, a
power exercised out of public sight.
More conspicuous was Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER's role in leading the parades
that open and close a day's sitting. In preceding the Speaker
on entering and leaving the House, the sergeant-at-arms carries
the ceremonial mace, a symbol of authority.
Dressed in a black court coat and a tricorne hat, the mace gripped
by his right hand as it rested on his right shoulder, a ceremonial
sword carried at his left hip, with service ribbons on his breast
adding a dash of colour, Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER presented the image of
a man one would not wisely cross. For all that, his long tenure
as sergeant-at-arms coincided with a breakdown in traditional
parliamentary behaviour. On two occasions, members grabbed the
mace, a shocking breach of decorum considered a gross contempt
of Parliament.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was the longest-serving sergeant-at-arms since Confederation.
His 27-year tenure surpassed that of the other seven men to have
held the position.
A long climb through the ranks of the armed forces prepared him
well for doing battle with civilians, as Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER proved
a wily adversary in bureaucratic squabbles.
Born in Drummondville, Quebec, Maurice Gaston
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was educated
at Mount Allison University at Sackville, New Brunswick, and,
later, at the University of Liege in Belgium. He enlisted in
the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1952 while still a teenager,
and married Joan
CAHILL of Summerside, Prince Edward Island,
before he was 20.
Serving as a navigator with Maritime Air Command, Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER
became an air instructor at the Air Navigation School at Winnipeg
in 1960. He was appointed resident staff officer at Laval University
at Quebec City two years later.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER relocated to Europe in 1964, serving as protocol
chief for the armed forces. He was also appointed executive assistant
to the commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force air division.
After graduating from the Canadian Forces staff college in 1969,
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was named bilingual policy adviser to the personnel
chief. He was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1975.
He became executive assistant to Liberal defence minister Donald
MacDONALD in 1970, remaining in the post under Edgar
BENSON,
C.M. (Bud)
DRURY,
James
RICHARDSON and Barnett (Barney)
DANSON.
The retired general was appointed sergeant-at-arms on April 27,
1978, by Pierre
TRUDEAU, the first of seven prime ministers for
whose security on Parliament Hill he was responsible. Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER
succeeded David
CURRIE, a decorated war hero awarded the Victoria
Cross who had been sergeant-at-arms for 18 years.
As the official Commons guard, the sergeant-at-arms places the
mace on a table before the Speaker. He then sits patiently throughout
proceedings adjacent to the entrance to the House. The role of
sergeant-at-arms carries with it a centuries-old responsibility
for security, hence the mace and sword.
Yet, one of Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER's first public statements regarded the
diminished size of the Christmas tree installed in the lobby
of the House. Several controversies generated headlines in his
first years. A stern report from the auditor-general was highly
critical of Parliament's administration, noting an annual $3.5-million
deficit from restaurants and cafeterias.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was soon embroiled in a public squabble over spending
with Speaker Jeanne
SAUVÉ.
Without her knowledge, he had ordered
$10,000 of riot gear, including vests, helmets, handcuffs and
12-gauge shotguns. He had also neglected to inform her of the
creation of a new restaurant to address overcrowding in Parliament's
main dining room. Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER opened an elegant, 70-seat restaurant
for senior bureaucrats in the South Block in 1980. The first-class
restaurant served $2.75 gourmet meals, a bargain for top mandarins
as each meal served cost $12 in subsidies.
The Speaker called the restaurant scandalous, ordered it closed
(after having allowed it at first to remain open), and issued
a public rebuke of the sergeant-at-arms' spending habits.
An attempt soon after to end wasteful spending left Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER
with egg on his face. A special Commons-Senate committee decided
laying off 30 cafeteria workers would save money. But members
of Parliament and bureaucrats proved sadly incapable of tidying
up after themselves, and the federal health department sent a
letter of reprimand to the sergeant-at-arms insisting the unhygienic
practice not continue.
Over the years, Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER has also had to sweep offices for
bugging devices, and ordered walls rebuilt to prevent eavesdropping
among rival caucuses and research staffs.
Two incidents in 2002 raised questions about security in the
wake of the previous year's attacks on New York and Washington.
A protester crashed the official unveiling of former prime minister
Brian Mulroney's portrait. Two weeks later, a man left a grenade
at the front desk of the Langevin Block, across the street from
Parliament Hill and outside of the sergeant-at-arms' jurisdiction.
At the adjournment of the House on October 30, 1991, Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER
shouldered the mace when rushed by an member of Parliament. Angered
by a ruling by the deputy speaker, New Democrat Ian
WADDELL tried
to grab the mace from the sergeant-at-arms.
An apologetic Mr.
WADDELL was called to stand at the bar of the
House the next afternoon, where he was reprimanded for a breach
of privilege and gross contempt of the House.
In 2002, member of Parliament Keith
MARTIN, then with the Canadian
Alliance, touched the mace in protest the loss off his private
member's bill on marijuana decriminalization. He was censured
by the House.
In 2002, all five parties in the House paid tribute to Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER
for his 50 years of public service. (By coincidence, the honour
came 11 years to the day after the
WADDELL incident.) The unanimity
among the speakers led Progressive Conservative leader Joe
CLARK
to quip: "Mr. Speaker, it is a good thing there are only five
parties in the House or these tributes could cause an outbreak
of order."
Earlier that month, Mr.
CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER co-ordinated the royal visit
to Canada as the Canadian Secretary to the Queen. He became the
longest-serving sergeant-at-arms since Confederation last year,
surpassing the 26-year tenure of Henry Robert
SMITH (1892-1917.)
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER took his responsibilities most seriously. In December,
1995, a Liberal member of Parliament in a Santa Claus costume
and accompanied by an elf arrived on the floor of the House to
spread bonhomie. Hansard reporters captured the interruption
in typically understated fashion, inserting a note in the account
of daily proceedings. It read: "Editor's note: Whereupon a visitor
in red entered the Chamber."
The sergeant-at-arms, perhaps not fully appreciating the spirit
of the season, gave the bum's rush to Santa, ushering Stan
DROMISKY
off the floor.
Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was born on June 6, 1935, at Drummondville, Quebec
He died of colon cancer on Tuesday at the Elizabeth Bruyere Health
Centre at Ottawa. He was 70. He is survived by his partner, Mary-Lynn
GALLANT. He also leaves son Michael, and daughter, Nancy, as
well as their mother, Joan, from whom he was separated.
