"We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
But all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
They say time heals all sorrows,
And helps us to forget
But time so far has proven
How much we miss you yet"

Val ROSS, 57: Journalist And Author
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page
S11
An award-winning journalist with a lyrical style, a passion for
the arts, an acute ear for dialogue and a prodigious memory for
arcane details, Val
ROSS was a reporter's reporter.
"She knew everyone and everything and she managed to use her
sources and her knowledge to advantage, but without ever compromising
her sources or cheating her readers," said Edward
GREENSPON,
editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail. "She had a disarming manner,
but she was tough and she wrote the truth."
While undergoing treatment for brain cancer, Ms.
ROSS sent Mr.
GREENSPON
an e-mail urging him to expand the newspaper's coverage of native
people. "You really should do this," she wrote. "Attention must
be paid." And then in her typically wry way, she talked about
the ravages of brain cancer by writing, "I have lost balance
a lot, but I bet you always suspected I leaned to the left."
Ms. ROSS was born in Toronto on October 17, 1950, the elder child
and only daughter of Erma and Jack
ROSS.
She went to the Institute
of Child Study and Jarvis Collegiate. As talented with a brush
as she was with a pen, she attended Saint Martin's School of Art
in London, England, after completing high school and thought
seriously about becoming a visual artist.
Nevertheless, after a year in swinging London and travelling
in Europe, she returned to Canada and entered University College
at the University of Toronto in 1969, graduating with a bachelor's
degree in 1972. She worked briefly in urban planning and then
in broadcasting at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation before
building a prolific career as a freelance writer, contributing
regularly to magazines such as Chatelaine, Saturday Night and
Toronto Life. She was a staff writer and editor for Maclean's
magazine in the late 1970s and early 1980s, before being hired
as managing editor of The Globe and Mail's now defunct Toronto
magazine. She spent the rest of her career at The Globe and Mail,
working as publishing reporter - winning a National Newspaper
Award in 1992 for critical writing - deputy editor of the Comment
section, and most recently as an arts reporter concentrating
on cultural institutions.
"I wanted her to go back to arts reporting," Mr.
GREENSPON said
yesterday, "because of her connectedness to the arts community.
She brought a lot of insight, knowledge and understanding to
her work."
An author as well as a journalist, she produced two children's
books. The Road to There, which won the $10,000 Norma Fleck Award
for Canadian Children's Non-Fiction in 2004, related the history
of cartography from early sailors mapping the world to modern
scientists charting the galaxies. Praising the book's dynamic
quality, jury members said they were "mesmerized by how beautifully
[Ms. ROSS] wove together the stories."
Two years later, Ms.
ROSS published a second children's book,
You Can't Read This, a history of banned and silenced literature.
In reviewing the book for The Globe, Deborah Ellis, herself a
prize-winning author of children's books, wrote: "The history
of books and writers is a tense, often bloody one, with poets
forced by mad emperors to commit suicide and translators burned
at the stake by religious leaders anxious to hold on to their
power. By using examples of real people facing such torments,
ROSS brings that history alive for us. This is no dry textbook.
It is a primer for anyone wanting to act with courage and needing
to know that those acts will come with a price."
In her final book, she switched to adult non-fiction by tackling
an oral history of novelist, playwright and essayist Robertson
Davies. She had almost completed a draft of Robertson Davies:
A Portrait in Mosaic, when she was diagnosed with brain cancer
the day after her 57th birthday in October, 2007.
"Raw courage is not what we associate with writing a book," her
editor Douglas Gibson said yesterday. "Yet, what I saw as Val
ROSS fought brain cancer to finish her book on Robertson Davies
left me shaken. It was a privilege to make what she teasingly
described as 'house calls' to help her see the book through the
last editing stages, and to be able to assure her just last week
that the book is very good," he said. "It is made up of many
voices recalling Davies; but the strongest, most memorable voice
throughout is Val's."
On Friday evening she collapsed and was taken to Saint_Joseph's
Hospital. Her husband and three children gathered around her
hospital bed and read some of her favourite poets aloud - E.E.
Cummings, William Carlos Williams, John Donne, and Gerard Manley
Hopkins. Ms.
ROSS, despite slurred speech from the effects of
her disease, was able to finish many of the stanzas by drawing
upon her formidable memory. The next morning she was transferred
to Saint Michael's Hospital, where that night she underwent neurosurgery
to try to give her more time with her family. Her spirit was
willing, but her heart gave out.
Valerie Jacqueline
ROSS was born in Toronto on October 17, 1950.
She died, surrounded by her family, early in the morning of February 17,
2008, at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto, a mere four months
after having been diagnosed with brain cancer. She was 57. Ms.
ROSS
leaves her husband, Morton
RITTS, her children, Max, Maddie and
Zoe, her mother, Erma, her brother, Philip, and her extended
family. There will be a celebration of her life on Saturday,
February 23, at 3 p.m. at Massey College in Toronto.
