THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, February 20,2002 PAGE 7 HARVEY KIRCK Former anchor of CTV national news. News icon passes away i. UXBRIDGE - Former CTV na- , tional news anchor Harvey Kirck, 73, a resident of Oshavva, Port Perry and Uxbridge over the past , 30 years, died of a heart attack in his home in Uxbridge Monday , morning. "He was a loving, caring father ; and grandfather," 40-year-old ' Bernie Kirck, also a resident of Durham Region, said of his father. • "And (he was) an institution." For more than 20 years, from • 1963 to 1984, Mr. Kirck was a fix- - turc on CTV's 11 p.m. newscast. When he began there, the national station was just an up-and-coming competitor to the CBC. i Television was a good fit for Mr. Kirck's gruff delivery and calm , manner and he took to it quickly. i After working in radio in Sault Ste. , Marie, Barrie, Calgary and Toron- , to, he got his first stint on television television in 1960 at Hamilton's CHCH. Three years later, he was the anchor .. of CTV's national newscast. After settling in at CTV, Mr. -, Kirck chose to make his home in , the small community of north Os- ,, hawa in the 1970s. Unlike Toronto, ^the community was closer in size to , hjs, north Ontario birthplace of New Liskcard, a small town on Lake ,,Tcmiskaming near the Quebec bor- ., der. Mr. Kirck moved to north Scar- , borough near CTV's headquarters . later on but returned to Durham four years ago to live in Port Perry, v He moved to his Uxbridge home of Testa Heights a year later. j Along with Bernie, Mr. Kirck leaves his wife Brenda and children Michael, 43 and Tina, 34, along „ with grandchildren. The family is . holding a private memorial service. , Bernie Kirck said a public |, memorial is being planned for ;, April or May. *■ - with Hies from Torstar News Service Storytellers ; available ; for any : occasion DURHAM - Once upon a time, people told stories and the Durham Folklore Society wants to help schools show students why the oral tradition still exists today.
