1960's and she later established Heather Lodge Hospital. Many
of the young men and woman hired and trained by mom simply became
part of our extended family. Pete and Lue spent many wonderful
years in Boca Raton golfing and enjoying a very active social

Curling a constant in
CHEVRIER's diverse broadcasting career
By Bob WEEKS,
Page S4
Most of the obituaries of legendary broadcaster Don
CHEVRIER,
who died this week, pointed out he was the play-by-play man of
the first broadcast of Blue Jays baseball. There were also numerous
references to his work with the Ottawa Senators, in boxing and
at the Olympics.
But if the truth be known, Canadians probably remember
CHEVRIER
best for his work on curling.
Chevy started his curling work in 1972 at the Brier in Saint_John's,
alongside Don
DUGUID, who had just come off back-to-back Canadian
and world championship victories. The two were inseparable on
curling broadcasts for the next decade, becoming icons in the
sport.
The partnership extended beyond their work. They remained fast
Friends long after the red light went out, and
DUGUID was hit
hard by the sudden passing.
"I'm pretty shattered," he said from his home in Winnipeg. "I
played golf in Florida about a month ago and Chevy came over
for dinner. He was fine then."
CHEVRIER had been battling a blood disorder but
DUGUID said that
the cause of his death was still undetermined.
On air, DUGUID learned what so many other colour commentators
came to know over the years. "He was just masterful,"
DUGUID
said. "He had impeccable timing. The producer would tell him
he had 25 seconds until a commercial and he'd fill 25 exactly."
DUGUID also praised his tremendous memory;
CHEVRIER could come
up with the most unusual statistic or memory with instant recall.
Back in 1972, events such as the Brier weren't given the wall-to-wall
coverage they are today.
DUGUID and
CHEVRIER would call the last
two games of the round robin - there was no playoff at that time
- and also provide a 15-minute recap that aired late at night
during the week.
The two also worked together on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Curling Classic, a popular made-for-television program that showed
condensed, taped games on a weekly basis.
CHEVRIER not only called the biggest curling games, but he played
the sport, joining a team with Canadian Football League legend
Russ Jackson and curling entrepreneur Doug Maxwell at the Humber
Highland Curling Club in Toronto.
When he left Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,
CHEVRIER didn't
leave curling. In 1986, TSN took to the air and curling was
a large part of its programming.
CHEVRIER got the call to work
some of those events including the '86 Mixed, where he teamed
up with Ray Turnbull, who was making his television debut. Like
DUGUID,
Turnbull marvelled at
CHEVRIER's talent.
"He had vocal cords to end all vocal cords," Turnbull recalled.
"You could hear that voice all over the rink."
Turnbull recalled that first event, played at Toronto's Bayview
Country Club, where he was the subject of a rookie initiation,
instigated by
CHEVRIER.
"We were standing on the ice at Bayview in front of the camera,
about to go live. The red light goes on and Chevy starts into
his intro. I was listening to him and trying to think of what
I was going to say. All of a sudden he stops, looks at me and
says, 'Ah [screw] it Moosey, you do this,' " said Turnbull, who
is known in curling circles as Moosey.
"I went white. I assumed we were on live. But it was a setup
- the guys were having one over on the rookie."
After moving to the United States and covering everything from
title fights with Howard Cosell to the Kentucky Derby,
CHEVRIER
was reunited with
DUGUID to call curling for NBC cable at
the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics. In Turin, the duo called a
whopping 26 games, 15 of them live and gained an almost cult
following in the United States.
While DUGUID was mourning the loss of his good friend, he also
provided an update on another curling-broadcast legend, Don Wittman,
who replaced
CHEVRIER and continued on Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's coverage until this year. Wittman is battling cancer
at his home in Winnipeg.
"He's very upbeat,"
DUGUID said. "It's a struggle, but he's staying
positive."
Just as
CHEVRIER was, Wittman is as versatile a broadcaster as
there is, providing the call for everything from Donovan Bailey's
gold-medal sprint and the famous brawl at the 1987 world junior
hockey championship.
But for curling fans, both of them are always going to be best
known for their work calling rocks and brooms.
