Larry HENDERSON,
Broadcaster And Editor: (1917-2006)
He was the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's first regular
newsreader on what became The National, only to leave for becoming
a household name. He later became editor of The Catholic Register
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail; Globe and Mail
archives, Page S9
Toronto -- For five years in the 1950s, Larry
HENDERSON owned
the most famous face in Canada. As the first regular anchor of
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's national television news
from 1954 to 1959, his steep brow and distinctive mustache were
known from coast to coast. He later went to work for other broadcast
outlets, including CTV News, then switched careers by becoming
a conservative and outspoken editor of The Catholic Register.
But it was on early television that he made his mark. "There
isn't much doubt that, in Canada, the name
HENDERSON means television
news," said Maclean's in September of 1957. Twice a day, at 6: 45 p.m.
and 11 p.m., he would read the national news on the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, which was then the only television
network in Canada.
His newscasts left a lasting impression on a young Peter
MANSBRIDGE
growing up in Ottawa. "We bought our first television in 1956 and
all I remember is Patti Page and Larry
HENDERSON," said Mr.
MANSBRIDGE,
now the lead anchor on The National. "He was my introduction
to television news. There was a lot of Larry
HENDERSON reading,
and the odd picture back then."
At the time, all television announcers had started out in radio,
with the information coming from wire services and the front
pages of newspapers. The first newscasts were more like bulletins
rather than today's glitzy programs. To ensure that viewers paid
attention to the news and not to a single face, the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation distributed the job among a roster of
announcers. Newscasts were only five minutes long and seldom
incorporated any film. If footage could be found, it was usually
presented in the style of a Movietone newsreel without sound,
except for what might later be added in the studio.
That all changed with the arrival of Larry
HENDERSON. He had
come to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with a background
in theatre and music. Raised in Montreal, he was educated in
the city's Protestant school board system. His father was a wool
merchant, and his mother was an artist who encouraged her son's
musical and acting talents.
As a boy, he put on plays, wrote scripts and played the piano.
He won a scholarship to McGill University, where he studied music.
After graduating, he decided to try his luck on the English stage
and took a freighter across the Atlantic. He arrived in Britain
with $50 in his pocket and fetched up in Birmingham, where he
worked in a factory before landing a job in local theatre. One
of the highlights of his acting career was to perform with a
young Alec Guinness in Romeo and Juliet in Perth, Scotland. Then
the Second World War broke out and the theatre closed, forcing
him to return to Canada.
He used his theatrical training to work as an announcer for the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, studied electrical engineering
and joined the Officer Training Corps. In 1943, he was commissioned
a lieutenant in the Canadian Army signal corps and served as
a signals officer in Italy and northwest Europe.
In 1945, with the war almost over, he was recalled to direct
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's shortwave International
Service that was broadcast to the troops. Shortly after that,
he returned to an announcer's job at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation.
He left the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in the late 1940s
and worked for radio station CFRB, producing a program called
Headliners, 10-minute radio items from overseas that ran five
times a week on 24 Canadian radio stations.
In 1949, he married Joan
ANNAND, whom he had met at the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation. Two years later, they set out for Europe.
Armed with a recording machine, they retraced the steps of the
Canadian army through Italy and produced segments for Headliners.
An admirer of American broadcaster Edward R. Morrow, Mr.
HENDERSON
patterned his broadcasts on that style.
In 1950, he spent six weeks in Korea. As the first Canadian broadcaster
sent to cover the Korean War, he was accredited to U.S. General
Douglas MacArthur's headquarters and toured Japan, Hong Kong,
Indochina, India and Yugoslavia, all the while filing reports.
He also turned out a similar international series for Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation Radio called Passports to Adventure.
In 1954, Mr.
HENDERSON returned to the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation to pitch an idea to Mavor Moore, Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation-television's program director. An accomplished photographer,
Mr. HENDERSON's scheme was to run his slides on air with commentary.
Mr. Moore heard him out but had other ideas. Instead of the travelogue,
he decided to hire Mr.
HENDERSON as the first permanent reader
of national television news in Canada.
The policy of using a herd of announcers had not worked, and
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was looking for someone
permanent to anchor the news. At the same time, though, the corporation
was nervous about allowing a television personality to develop,
and it discouraged Mr.
HENDERSON from doing much more than present
the news. The newscast was expanded to 15 minutes, and Mr.
HENDERSON
began reading his scripts over film. His role grew and he became
one of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's first television
correspondents to report from the field.
Mr. HENDERSON made several visits to the Middle East, including
one to Egypt in April of 1956. That summer, Egypt's Gamal Abdel
Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, and soon Britain, France
and Israel went to war against Cairo. The camera equipment of
the day was bulky. Mr.
HENDERSON travelled with Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation cameraman Bob Crone and all the necessary gear they
needed to record interviews.
Like many announcers of the time, Mr.
HENDERSON's background
was more theatrical than journalistic. This was before the era
of the teleprompter. Mr.
HENDERSON would memorize a script for
at least an hour before the broadcast. That way, he would seldom
have to look down at it.
It wasn't long before he was being recognized on the street,
and soon developed ideas of his own. His plan was to work exclusively
on The National. For its part, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
continued to distrust anyone who resembled a broadcast star and
made every effort to discourage him. Somewhat short-tempered
by nature, and perhaps feeling constrained by Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation policy, Mr.
HENDERSON became the enfant terrible
of Canadian television. He had a reputation for swearing on air,
and for speaking so quickly when prompted to speed up that the
audience heard only gibberish. He once stormed off the set when
a piece of footage failed to roll.
In 1959, he left the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation after
a dispute over his contract. Mr.
HENDERSON had proposed that
he anchor only the National; the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
wanted him to do other things as well. "Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation star Henderson dropped," read the headline in The
Toronto Telegram.
He went to work for radio station CHFI in Toronto and television
station CHCH in Hamilton. Later, he joined CTV National
News as a commentator on international affairs, and the weekend
newsreader. It was during this period that he became interested
in Catholicism.
"My father met a priest in Ottawa in the late 1960s and started
talking to him about his faith," said Graham
HENDERSON, who lives
in Toronto. "When he converted to Catholicism, the whole family
was shocked. My mother brought us up as Presbyterians [and] he
had been an atheist."
After he left broadcasting full time, Mr.
HENDERSON ran a school
for broadcasting and did other work, including going to Africa
for the Canadian International Development Agency to help set
up Tanzania's broadcasting system.
In 1973, Mr.
HENDERSON began writing articles for The Catholic
Register, a Toronto-based publication that ranked among the oldest
English-language Catholic weekly newspapers in Canada. He became
editor the following year and steered the newspaper to a prominent
role in the Canadian anti-abortion movement.
In 1981, he raised a furor by directing the Register to accept
paid advertisements from an anti-abortion group recommending
that voters reject Tory candidates in the Ontario election. Campaign
Life had placed ads to say Conservative candidates were poor
choices for voters and blamed then-premier William Davis for
supporting Pierre Trudeau's constitutional package, including
a Charter of Rights. Entrenchment of the Charter, it warned,
would lead to abortion on demand, homosexual marriages, adoptions
by homosexuals, and the loss by women of financial support from
their husbands.
In 1985, the Register urged Ontario voters to spoil ballots in
that year's provincial election. It was an attitude not supported
by the Archdiocese of Toronto, and the writing was on the wall.
Mr. HENDERSON left the paper the next year after having increased
subscriptions from 30,000 to 60,000, replaced by an editor with
more moderate views.
Mr. HENDERSON had the satisfaction of seeing his replacement,
Peter HOWELL, resign in little more than a year. By all accounts,
readers did not find favour with what they perceived as new liberal
views and wrote to tell him so. "Nobody likes getting hate mail,
but that's what it amounts to," Mr.
HOWELL said.
In contrast, many of the letters had praised Mr.
HENDERSON for
upholding traditional church views.
Mr. HENDERSON was not finished. He joined Challenge, a Catholic
monthly magazine, as managing editor and retired in 2002.
Larry HENDERSON was born in Montreal on September 4, 1917. He
died in Toronto of unspecified causes on November 26, 2006. He
was 89. He leaves his sons Graham and Ross. His wife, Joan, died
in 1980.

A terrible price
4 more Canadians die in Afghanistan.
By Murray BREWSTER, Canadian Press and Free Press Staff, Sun.,
April 23, 2006
Kandahar, Afghanistan -- Taliban militants struck with fury early
yesterday, killing four soldiers in one of the worst one-day
combat losses for the Canadian army since the Korean War.
The soldiers were identified as:
- Cpl. Matthew
DINNING of Wingham, stationed with the 2nd Canadian
Mechanized Brigade in Petawawa.
- Bombardier Myles
MANSELL of Victoria.
- Lieut. William
TURNER of Toronto, but stationed in Edmonton.
- Cpl. Randy
PAYNE, born in Lahr, Germany, but stationed at Canadian
Forces Base Wainright, Alberta.
Two of the troopers were part of Brig.-Gen. David Fraser's personal
protection force. The third was an artillery non-commissioned
officer and the fourth man was a liaison officer with local tribal
leaders.
In Wingham, Friends of the
DINNING family paid tribute to Matthew.
"He was a tremendous young chap, a great young fellow," said
former neighbour Jack
GOODALL.
Matthew DINNING, 23, was inspired to join the military by his
father, an Ontario Provincial Police officer who served as a
peacekeeper in Kosovo, Friends said.
"It's closer to home," said Fraser, having to look away after
being asked about the close-knit group he often calls his posse.
"Every soldier over here is important to me. I feel that way
about everybody in the brigade, but I knew these guys."
A bomb, which may have been buried in the road, detonated just
outside the village of Gumbad, 75 kilometres north of Kandahar.
The huge explosion was reportedly felt kilometres away.
The four-vehicle convoy was returning to Kandahar after Fraser's
goodwill visit Friday with village elders. The general, who is
also the multi-national brigade commander in southern Afghanistan,
returned by helicopter Friday night.
The third vehicle in the convoy, a G-Wagon carrying the four
soldiers, was struck by an improvised explosive device at about
7: 30 a.m. local time.
Three of the soldiers died at the scene and the fourth died in
hospital after being airlifted by a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter.
"While we are saddened by their loss, we will not forget them
or their sacrifice," said Fraser, calling the soldiers "outstanding
Canadians" who believed in what they were doing in Afghanistan.
"We will redouble our efforts in southern Afghanistan in their
memory."
There was stunned disbelief among troops at Kandahar airfield,
the main coalition base in southern Afghanistan.
"It was so many at once, four guys," said Capt. Janus Cihlar.
"When you know them, perhaps not personally, but have worked
with them, it hits even harder."
Cihlar said the loss strengthens the resolve of soldiers on the
ground.
"Once everyone has a chance to take their pause and get over
the initial shock of the news, certainly everyone buckles down
and says, 'We have a job here and a mission here.' "
The bodies will be returned to Canada early in the week, with
a ramp ceremony on the tarmac at Kandahar airfield planned for
tomorrow, said Col. Tom Putt, deputy commanding officer of Task
Force Afghanistan.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement extending his
condolences to the family and Friends of the four slain soldiers.
"These men were working to bring security, democracy, self-sufficiency
and prosperity to the Afghan people and to protect Canadians'
national and collective security," Harper said. "I am proud of
the work that is being done there and the men and women who put
their lives on the line every day to do it."
The flag continued to fly yesterday on the Parliament Buildings
in Ottawa. The newly elected Conservative government has said
it will no longer lower the flag to half-staff every time a Canadian
soldier is killed, a break with tradition established by the
Liberals.
A total of 15 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have died since
2002, when Canada first became involved in Afghanistan following
the ouster of the hardline Taliban regime.
The last time the army suffered a one-day loss of this scale
was in April 2002, when four Canadian soldiers were mistakenly
bombed by a U.S. fighter jet.
Before that, army historians would have to reach back to May 1953,
when the Royal Canadian Regiment suffered a horrendous one-day
combat loss during the Korean War. About two dozen Canadians
died while holding off an enemy attack during that battle.
Two more explosions shook the main coalition airbase in southern
Afghanistan early today, officials said.
No damage or casualties were reported.

which was tenable for a year of full-time study, again at Columbia.
He was a member of two honourary societies in education, Kappa
Delta Pi and Phi Delta Kappa, in chapters at Columbia. He served
for several years as a member of the Senate of Knox College (U
of T.) Dr.

Joanne
In loving memory of a dear Wife, Mother and Oma, Joanne, who
passed away 3 years ago today, April 8, 2003.
Please God, put your arms around her,
And give her special care,
Make up for all the hard times,
And all that was unfair,
Find the softest pillow to rest her head upon,
Put a kiss upon her cheek,
And tell her who it's from.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one.
The chain will link again.
So you have our Mother, Oma and Wife,
Cherish her with care,
For you'll never know the heartache,
'Till you see her vacant chair.
Love you forever, miss you always.

ELIA,
Mariano
Antonio (1917-2006)
On January 24th, after a lengthy and valiant struggle with cancer,
Mariano ELIA passed away at the age of 88. A pioneer in Canadian
building history, he left his distinctive mark on Toronto's architectural
landscape. Having defied death many times in recent years, it
was easy to imagine he'd be back up for yet another round. While
most people do less in old age, Mariano continued to seek out
new challenges. He was the kind of man who, at the age of 86,
bought the house next door to him, not because he needed to,
but because it was a gigantic fixer-upper. It wasn't unusual
to see him standing atop some scaffolding, oblivious to the danger
- that was just his way. Born in 1917, Mariano's story began
like that of so many other immigrants coming to Canada. At the
age of 12, he left the small town of Aprigliano in Calabria,
Italy, and ended up in Toronto after a difficult passage through
Ellis Island. One year later, in 1930, he was selling doughnuts
door-to-door near his home on Ossington Avenue, struggling to
earn some pocket change. Mariano learned construction skills
from his father and at the age of twenty-four, started his own
company, Dell Holdings (later The Elia Corporation). In the 1950s,
Dell was considered one of Canada's top five general contractors.
At thirty-four, he developed the country's first successful satellite
community, Erindale Woodlands, on 450 acres in Mississauga. The
project was considered risky at the time because of its sheer
size and rural location. This same drive and determination led
him to later build large housing developments, schools and government
buildings. For those who knew him well, Mariano was complex,
difficult at times, but never dull. "It wasn't just that he was
a highly successful businessperson, a visionary really", Harry
ARTHURS, his friend and the former president of York University,
recently wrote. "It was - for me - that he was a man of such
extraordinary character. He had great spirit, great energy and
great style. We talked about so many things: politics, children,
history, architecture, land development, art, gossip, my university,
even figs." Time spent with Mariano often involved some sort
of discovery, be it scouting property, discussing the subtleties
of paint and light, taking long walks or learning how to cook
risotto. He loved to work with his hands: he was a carpenter,
bricklayer, a draftsman, a chef and an artist. From an early
age, Mariano painted and sculpted - even painting on burlap when
he couldn't afford canvas. He enjoyed gardening and even wrote
poetry. His Calabrese-style cooking was rustic, improvisational
and delicious. In 1984, he created The Mariano Antonio Elia Foundation
supporting humanitarian, educational, religious and scientific
aims. As he once explained in an interview, "I learned at a very
early age that I was in Canadians' backyard. I was the stranger
and I was the one that had to adapt. It's my country now… I say
I owe a lot to Canada." His commitment to philanthropy continued
to grow in his later years. He established The Mariano A. Elia
Chair in Italian-Canadian Studies at York University, The Dr.
Mariano Antonio Elia Chair in head and Neck Cancer Research at
Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital and The "Off the Wall" Hands-On
Centre for Children at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Mariano bore
every honour he received with immense pride. In 1985, he accepted
an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from York University. He was
knighted (Commendatore) by the Italian government in 1988 and
was also made First Honorary Citizen of the town of Rende in
Calabria. Two years later he was made a Knight of Malta, Sovereign
Military Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. Just over a year before
he died, Mariano acquired a 100-acre working farm and any given
Sunday might be spent with his youngest grandkids, collecting
eggs and picking tomatoes. Then it was pasta or a frittata for
supper back at his house. Big builder man that he was, this is
how his family likes to remember him best. Mariano was the father
of Marlene
DELZOTTO, Valerie
ELIA, Susan
ZORZI, Paul
ELIA, Mario
ELIA and Lisa Elia
WALSH; loving nonno of Lia, Michaele, Gian
Paolo, Noelle, Rochelle, Sandro, Mariano, Emilio, Luca, Dylan,
Kiri and Cody; bisnonno (great-grandfather) of James, Shannon,
Alessandro, Ryan and Joshua. He is survived by his former wife,
Ines, his brother Ernest and sisters Helen and Gloria. He was
the beloved uncle of Paul
MANTELLA. A private service was held
on January 26th. If so desired, donations to The Mariano Elia
Foundation can be sent to: 1100 Central Parkway West, Unit 1,
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada M5E 4E1.

(1976). Rob gave generously and capably in service to all of
society, as he did to the Baha'i communities throughout the Niagara
Region. He served on the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'i community
of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Rob was part of every event giving whole-hearted,
caring support - always striving for excellence. Many knew Rob's
passion as a runner as he ran through the streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
His stride was seen as "Poetry in Motion". He ran his best marathon
(26 miles) in Ottawa in 2 hours, 33 minutes. Rob's life was devoted
to doing and serving. He joined the family business, Mori Nurseries,
after graduation and quickly established himself as V.P. in Sales
and Marketing in the company, devoting himself with endless energy
to the company's advancement, expansion and development of operations
in Ontario, the United States and Mexico in the horticultural
industry. He pioneered the development of computer software now
used in the horticultural industry in Canada and United States
known as "Gro Ware". During over 30 years with the company, Rob
focused on promoting the development and advancement of the independent
garden centre trade from Ontario through to the Atlantic Provinces
and into the Great Lake and New England States. His passion for
horticulture led him to travel widely throughout North America
and Europe where he forged close relationships with many nurserymen
and was able to share their new introductions with Mori Nurseries'
many clients. Rob has left his mark, not only in the horticultural
industry, but in the hearts of the many lives he touched. Family
will receive Friends at the Niagara-On-The-Lake Chapel of the
Morgan Funeral Homes, 415 Regent Street, on Saturday and Sunday,
January 21st and 22nd, from 2-5 and 7-9 o'clock. Funeral service
will be held at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Old Court House (26 Queen
Street) on Monday morning at 11 o'clock. Interment will follow
at Niagara Lakeshore Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, and in support
of Rob's passion for both horticulture and athletics, memorial
donations may be made to the "Robert Mori Pathway Fund". Online
