Huguette BURROUGHS,
Reporter,
Politician: 1949-2005
Born with a form of glaucoma, she never allowed problems to cloud
her ambitions, writes Sandra
MARTIN. A brave Francophone voice
in an overwhelmingly English media, she single-mindedly overcame
all obstacles
By Sandra MARTIN,
Thursday,
April 28, 2005, Page S7
Lots of journalists switch from covering politicians to holding
office, but few overcome more obstacles or embrace public service
with such fervour as Huguette
BURROUGHS.
Blind, with one leg
amputated because of diabetes and requiring dialysis three times
a week, Ms.
BURROUGHS was revered in Eastern Ontario for her
spirit, her outreach and her accomplishments.
"She had a tough childhood, but she blossomed in later life,"
said Etienne
SAINT-
AUBIN, a Franco-Ontarian lawyer, who met Ms.
BURROUGHS in 1987, shortly after he left the Ontario Ministry
of the Attorney-General in Toronto to move to Cornwall, Ontario,
so he could work in a legal aid clinic.
At the time, Ms.
BURROUGHS was the sole reporter for the French
language weekly Le Journal de Cornwall. Mr.
SAINT-
AUBIN met her
when he put an ad in the paper and saw her peering at her typewriter
about an inch away from the keys. She had an original way of
putting things and was able to get to the quick of the matter
very well, he said, but she wasn't a muckraker. Instead, she
preferred to present information in a straightforward way that
let people make up their own minds.
For nearly 30 years, Ms.
BURROUGHS was first a radio and then
a print journalist for francophone media outlets. And when her
health deteriorated to the point where she could no longer cover
municipal politics, she ran for city council and served her community
from the other side of the microphone and the podium.
Huguette BURROUGHS was born July 16, 1949, in L'Original, a village
between Ottawa and Hawkesbury, the middle child and only daughter
of Eugene and Aurore
BRABANT.
Her father was a seasonal construction
worker, toiling as a dynamite handler for highway crews, and
her mother was a homemaker. Huguette and her younger brother
Yvan were born with a degenerative form of glaucoma. Huguette
was luckier than her younger brother, retaining some vision until
she went blind at 32.
Her problems never clouded her ambition. "I was always wearing
heavy glasses," she said in an interview in The Cornwall Standard-Freeholder
in 1999, so I was always the last to be picked for any type of
game." Instead of moping, she kept score or wrote reports, and
determined to excel academically.
"Her childhood was mortgaged by the thought that she would eventually
go blind, so she used the time to soak up as much reading as
she could because she wanted to be a journalist," said her friend
Etienne SAINT-
AUBIN.
Her brother Charles, an editor for Le Droit
in Ottawa, remembers his younger sister writing poetry as small
girl and, when she was in high school, producing a column on
local events for Le Carillon, a weekly in Hawkesbury.
When Huguette was in Grade 9, she read Jane S. McIlvaine's novel
It Happens Every Thursday, about a couple of journalists who
decide to flee their cramped New York apartment and start a weekly
newspaper in a small town. The book was subsequently made into
a film starring Loretta Young, John Forsythe and Bob MacAvoy.
Although neither the novel nor the film is memorable, Huguette
never forgot these lines in the text: "If, despite all obstacles,
you want to do one thing more than anything else in the world,
go ahead. You will certainly succeed."
She kept those words as a personal motto. She wanted to work
on the high-school newspaper, but was rejected on the grounds
that this activity was reserved for kids in senior grades. So
she wrote a letter to the editor saying that "my grandfather
fought in the war so we could avoid discrimination and here I
was facing it in my own school." Point taken. Huguette became
the first Grade 9 student to work as a reporter on the school
paper. And when she graduated, she quoted that same passage from
It Happens Every Thursday as the theme in her valedictorian's
speech.
There was a price for all of this single-mindedness. "I had practically
no Friends," she confessed to the Standard Freeholder. After
high school, she got a job with
CFML, a French language radio
station in Cornwall. She showed up for work in September of 1967
and loved the job so much she worked 11-hour days, from 6 a.m.
until 5 p.m., covering the police and fire beats and translating
documents -- and all for $45 a week.
She worked at the radio station for 11 years until the ownership
changed in 1978. By then, she was 29 and her eyesight was declining
rapidly. Nevertheless, she switched from broadcast to print,
taking a job as news editor at Le Journal de Cornwall.
"She was a very hard worker, and I'm sure she could have spent
24 hours a day working, which she probably did sometimes," the
paper's general manager, Roger
DUPLANTIE, said later. "She never
considered the work she did as a job. It was something she loved
and she believed in very strongly."
All of her hard work paid off in a number of French-language
awards for editorial writing. "For the longest time, she basically
did the paper herself," said her brother, "writing everything
that got in the paper -- editorials, news, features. They had
a translation business on the side and she would do that, too
and I don't think she ever made more than $400 a week."
At the same time as she was working more than fulltime on the
newspaper, she wrote La radio malgré tout (radio or nothing),
a history of
CFML and its impact on the cultural and economic
landscape of Cornwall.
She never learned Braille because she could see enough as a child
to read on her own. By the time she went blind, she listened
to books on tape and used a computer with a voice synthesizer.
Self-effacing to the core, Ms.
BURROUGHS always said that she
was lucky because by the time she needed it, computer technology
was advanced enough to scan written text and produce an audio
read-out.
An excellent typist, she used a tape recorder like a note book,
memorized the sounds of hundreds of voices and relied on her
prodigious memory and ferocious energy to overcome her disabilities.
Cornwall
Mayor
Phil
POIRIER said "she was probably the best reporter
I ever worked with. She was fair, she was objective, not subjective,
she did her homework and you couldn't trip her up." When it came
to budget deliberations, he said Ms.
BURROUGHS knew "as much
if not more" than elected officials.
According to Mr.
SAINT-
AUBIN, she also served as an unofficial
community scribe for Franco-Ontarians who needed help with application
forms and official letters. "We came to expect so much of her
that we would forget she was blind," he said. "She was blessed
with work habits that overcame her limitations."
She never married and had no children. Instead of family, she
worked as a super-heated volunteer for organizations such as
Big Brothers/Big Sisters, United Way and Legal Aid. She was instrumental
in establishing
CHOD-FM,
Cornwall's
French-language radio station.
In 1992, she was named a woman of distinction in Ontario; in
1994, she was profiled in an National Film Board of Canada documentary
series on francophones who were helping to preserve their linguistic
culture. In 1996, she received the Order of Ontario.
Her health continued to plague her. She developed diabetes and
had trouble keeping it under control. In 1999, she had to have
a leg amputated and undergo dialysis three times a week to supplement
her faltering kidneys. She was in hospital and then at a rehabilitation
facility for six months. Afterward, according to her brother,
she defied the pronouncements of health-care workers and insisted
on moving back into her own apartment. "She had a very close
circle of Friends and they helped her a lot."
Two years later, she reluctantly gave up journalism and plied
her skills in a new forum -- municipal politics. Instead of covering
city hall, she ran for office in the election in November of
2003 and finished fifth among 23 candidates for 10 seats on Cornwall
City Council. "Vision isn't just about eyesight," she wrote in
one of her flyers. "It comes from experience. It comes from the
heart, and my heart is filled with respect and love for this
community and its kind and good people who deserve the best."
And that's what she provided, maintaining a perfect attendance
record for council meetings in 2004, taking her laptop computer
with her to help follow documents that were being debated. "It
was the highlight of her life and her career" to be given the
mandate to represent the people of Cornwall at city council said
Mr. POIRIER. "
She did more than most people, who are strong and
healthy, and you'd never hear her complain about anything --
not the weather, not her political opponents."
She continued to support her constituents until she collapsed
in late March and was taken unconscious to an Ottawa hospital.
Huguette BURROUGHS was born July 16, 1949, in L'Original, Ontario
She died on March 31 of complications from diabetes. She was
55. She is survived by her older brother, Charles, and his family
and her younger brother, Yvan.
