James BURK/BURKE,
Writer And Editor: (1917-2006)
Paralyzed by an auto accident in 1942, he survived to become
one of Canada's longest-surviving paraplegics
By Douglas
McARTHUR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Toronto -- James
BURK/BURKE was 22 and only weeks from getting a pilot's
licence when an accident left him paralyzed. The year was 1940 and
Toronto's health system was ill equipped to deal with civilian
paraplegics. Hospital authorities basically told him to "pray
and die," he said later.
He spent long years in institutions before the availability of
the personal collapsible wheelchair -- combined with his own
willpower -- helped him start a new life on the outside. He worked
as a freelance writer and editor, married radio and stage personality
Laddie DENNIS, and authored two comic novels in the 1960s. He
was to spend more than six decades in a wheelchair and was one
of Canada's longest-surviving paraplegics.
"He never allowed himself to be shackled by remorse," says William
GEISLER, one of the doctors who helped with his rehabilitation.
"He didn't ruminate on what had been. He knew those emotions
would sap him of the energy he required." Friends say he avoided
talking about his handicap, had a strong sense of humour and
was always willing to help others.
For a number of years, Mr.
BURK/BURKE edited the Caliper, the journal
of the Canadian Paraplegic Association. He also wrote Return
to Action, a history of treatment programs for spinal-cord patients.
But he never mentioned disabilities in his other writings, which
included a physical fitness course, short stories, book reviews
for The Globe and Mail and two novels.
Flee Seven Ways (1964) is the rollicking tale of a corrupt businessman.
It was published in Britain, the U.S. and Germany to favourable
reviews. "A very funny first novel," wrote The New York Times.
The paper's Literary Supplement noted: "His novel is a complex
construction, bravely undertaken and creditably carried out."
In The Firefly Hunt (1969), mischief and mayhem bedevil the hero
after he inherits a castle from an eccentric uncle. Argosy magazine
called it "a sparkling Roman-candle of a fantasy." Mr.
BURK/BURKE
drafted a third novel, but health problems halted completion.
Christened James
KAPHALAKOS, he changed his last name to
BURK/BURKE
as a young man. He was the second of five sons of Panogiotis
(Peter) KAPHALAKOS, a Greek immigrant who operated a Toronto
coffee business, and his wife, Florence (née
COCHRANE.)
Young
James excelled at school and in athletics but, because of his
father's death in 1930, he abandoned his studies. To support
his family, he graduated from high school and then went looking
for whatever work he could find.
An avid weightlifter with a striking physique, he earned some
income as a live model at the Ontario College of Art. But his
main job in 1940 was on the bull gang at a paper mill. He was
also taking flying lessons at the Toronto Island airport, but
only when he had some extra money. That all changed when the
car in which he was a passenger was involved in an accident.
The impact broke his back and left him paralyzed from the mid-back
down.
At the time, life expectancy for paraplegics was considered low.
As a result, Mr.
BURK/BURKE was given little more than food, a bed
to lie in and drugs to fight off infection. In all, he spent
seven years at a succession of Toronto hospitals. Later, he said
he only talked about those missing years "to counter the canard"
that he had spent them in jail.
He gave details of his dreary hospital years in lengthy interviews
conducted in the early 1990s by Mary
TREMBLAY, an associate professor
of health sciences at McMaster University. She used his experiences
in a series of academic papers on the evolution of Canada's treatment
of spinal-cord injuries.
At Saint Michael's Hospital, nuns asked Mr.
BURK/BURKE to accept his
fate and make peace with God. "I somehow didn't feel like taking
on the chore of dying at that moment," he told Ms.
TREMBLAY.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital was "very restrictive" with few
activities, but at Runnymede Hospital he found the staff to be
more sympathetic. Somehow, he obtained a typewriter and took
up writing. One of his first successes as a freelancer was a
correspondence course on fitness that he sold through magazine
ads.
His life changed dramatically in 1946 when he was visited by
Dr. Al JOUSSE and John
COUNSELL, a paraplegic veteran who had
been injured at Dieppe. Along with neurosurgeon Doctor Harry
BOTTERELL,
they had helped set up Lyndhurst Lodge in Toronto as a centre
for spinal-injury rehabilitation programs for veterans of the
Second
World
War. As a deserving civilian, Mr.
BURK/BURKE was squeezed
into the program. He began travelling to Lyndhurst for physiotherapy
twice a week. More importantly, he was given one of the Everest
and Jennings folding, self-propelled wheelchairs that had provided
freedom and hope to paraplegic veterans.
In 1948, he moved to the Young Men's Christian Association in
downtown Toronto where he pursued his writing career. He wrote
short stories and book reviews, and also worked as a copy editor.
It was at the Young Men's Christian Association coffee bar that
he met Laddie
DENNIS, then a stage actress and radio announcer.
She later appeared regularly on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
television and became a travel writer. One friend called their
romance "the love story of the century." Ms.
DENNIS says she
"made the first move" and was also the one who proposed. They
were married in 1951 and spent their honeymoon in Mexico.
In 1955, they purchased a former five-car garage that once belonged
to the historic Falcon Inn in Scarborough. The partly finished
structure was considered a white elephant, but the couple turned
it into a comfortable home where they often entertained 40 guests
at a time.
In 1963, Mr.
BURK/BURKE was invited to England to turn his first novel
into a screenplay. The project fell through, but along the way
he picked up an assignment to write the script for a British
Broadcasting Corporation Radio play based on Nikolai Gogol's
Diary of a Madman. It starred comedian Kenneth Williams.
Despite his handicap, Mr.
BURK/BURKE drove a car, raked lawns, got
in and out of a rowboat and even chopped wood.
Mary TREMBLAY started one interview saying she wanted to talk
about Mr. BURK/BURKE's ideas about disability. His reply summed up
his attitude: "I'm against it."
James BURK/BURKE was born in Toronto on September 16, 1917. He died
in Toronto on October 15, 2006, of complications of paraplegia.
He was 89. He leaves his wife, Laddie
DENNIS, and brothers Paul
and Peter KAPHALAKOS.

Joe was born and lived in Toronto his entire
life except for a four year posting in Montreal. He was strongly
committed to his community and his country. He worked for Bell
Canada for 40 years and in retirement, started a second career
as a professional fundraiser. Joe received the 20 year service
medal from the Boy Scouts after serving as a Scouter and District
Commissioner during the 1950's and 60's. In 1965, he was elected
as a trustee and vice-chair of the Etobicoke Board of Education.
In the mid 60's, he began his long career in the Liberal Party
- an extended family in which he was for decades a respected
fundraiser and organizer (including his adventures as an advance
man for Pierre Trudeau in the 1968 election). Joe became President
of the Toronto and District Liberal Association in 1970 and of
the Liberal Party of Ontario in 1972. He ran twice as a Liberal
candidate: in the 1975 provincial election in York West and in
the 1980 federal election in Etobicoke Centre. Joe served on
the board of Runnymede Chronic Care Hospital and was a steward
for 40 years at Kingsway Lambton United Church. He was active
in the Art Gallery at Harbourfront, the Etobicoke Historical
Society, the United Way of Toronto, the Donwood Institute, the
Canadian Centre for Philanthropy and as a volunteer advisor on
fundraising to over a hundred charitable and arts organizations.
Joe was a longtime Kiwanian, serving as Lieutenant Governor of
Eastern Canada and the Caribbean and as President of the Kiwanis
Club of Toronto. His lifelong passion for jazz led him to be
a founding member of the Classic Jazz Society of Toronto and
to enjoy many visits to New Orleans, Grossman's, the Collector's
Congress and Sam's. In 2002, Joe's outstanding service to the
community was recognized with the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal.
For the past year, Joe faced the difficulties of dementia with
loving support from his family, Friends and the caring staff
at Kensington Gardens. Friends may call at the Turner and Porter
Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W. at Windermere, east of the Jane
