The NATJA Awards Competition honours the " best of the best" from travel media and travel promotion submitted by travel journalists, travel magazines, public relations agencies and destination marketing organizations from the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries. Winnipeg Free Press honourees include Lucas Akroyd, who won bronze in the General Travel Articles group for Wild, weird Easter Island ; Lindor Reynolds, a finalist in Intergenerational and Family Travel for California screamin ; Ron Pradinuk, a finalist in Byline Travel Column for Is cruising still safe? ; and Pradinuk again, a double finalist in Travel Tips and Advice for Tips for Canadians going to Cuba and Make your holiday a perfect 10 . Reynolds' April 4, 2013, column is about a trip to Disneyland's companion park, California Adventure, in Anaheim, Calif. " NATJA is the biggest and most influential group of travel journalists and travel- industry professionals in the world. " The fact that Lindor has been a frequent winner in their annual awards competition is a testament to her ' magic touch' when it comes to writing travel features," said John Sullivan, Free Press travel editor. Her opening, with a gripping image and a one- line sinker comment on the experience, is typical of her trademark writing style: " I'm strapped and cinched into the California Screamin' rollercoaster car, ripping 100 kilometres an hour up a steep incline that will inevitably plunge me down even faster. My stomach is back at the start of the ride, my pulse rocketing. Beside me, a stepdaughter screams like she's being attacked by rabid zombies. " My world shrinks to a mantra: ' Disney doesn't kill people, Disney doesn't kill people.' " Reynolds has been on a medical leave since last summer, battling cancer. The awards will be handed out at the NATJA's annual conference Sept. 16- 19 in Huntsville, Ala.

INSIDE LOTTERIES Free Press writers get travel- awards nods J OHN Dafoe was the grandson of a Canadian newspaper giant, who left his own considerable footsteps across the landscape of a profession he had strived for since kindergarten. Before Dafoe was finished, the shy, award- winning yet humble master of opinion- making had achieved his dream job: editorial editor of the Winnipeg Free Press , the paper his grandfather, John Wesley Dafoe, edited from 1904 to 1944 ( then the Manitoba Free Press ). Dafoe died Tuesday night at the age of 83 after battling Parkinson's disease for several years. Dafoe's motto - " Opinion is cheap, facts are sacred" - was the calling card of a career that saw him earn two National Newspaper Awards for editorial writing and another two nominations. But Dafoe was remembered as a newspaperman who based his work on a foundation of respect for colleagues, subjects and readers. " He was a wonderful friend and mentor," recalled Jim Carr, who served on the Free Press editorial pages from 1992 to 1997. " He taught me about balance, fairness and reflection, but never to shy away from controversy or boldly advancing an argument. And pay attention to every detail. " He epitomized more than anyone else... the combination of discernment and persuasion," Carr added. " He was humble, he was modest. He rarely talked about himself, because what mattered most was the argument. We were in the business of making a case." Dafoe had once written he wanted to be a newspaperman - " not just a newspaperman but a newspaper editorial writer" - since the age of five. His attempts to conquer London's Fleet Street in his youth came up short, however, and Dafoe " kept from starving" with odd jobs at Haringey Circus and British Rails. For the former, Dafoe shovelled up after elephants. For the latter, he swept out first- class compartments of the Flying Scotsman. After moving back to Canada, Dafoe began his career with the Lethbridge Herald and Edmonton Journal before joining the Free Press as a reporter in the 1970s. With the Free Press , Dafoe covered the legislature and then- premier Duff Roblin. The two would eventually become lifelong friends. After a stint at the Ottawa bureau of the Globe and Mail , Dafoe became editorial editor of the Montreal Star at age 40. At the Star , Dafoe hired a young writer named Terence Moore for his editorial staff. " He didn't take himself too seriously," Moore recalled of his old boss. " He didn't get too full of himself. He didn't feel like he had a God- given commission to be right. He gave people ( editorial writers) their heads. What he wanted was interesting copy with vigorous opinion." In late 1979, the Star folded, and both Moore and Dafoe took up their respective positions at the Free Press . It was a homecoming, of sorts. " That was cute, because my grandfather ( Harold) had written editorials for his grandfather," Moore said. " We moved into the chairs our grandfathers had occupied on Carlton Street." Although aware of his grandfather's legacy, the grandson forged his own path but never forgot his family's deep roots in the newspaper industry, Moore said. " He had the unusual gift of a grandfather and family tradition that lay at the core of what a newspaper is supposed to do," Moore said. " He understood the power and limits of the editorial page. He knew the Winnipeg Free Press mattered - but it didn't run Winnipeg." Meanwhile, on most days Carr would pick up his boss - who rarely drove - and shuttle him to work, then home again. " There was an endless amount to learn," Carr said. " He never lectured, never pontificated. He just told his stories." Carr said Dafoe, along with his late wife Arlene, loved to adventure travel and made several trips to New York to experience their shared love of theatre. Born on July 1, 1930, Dafoe retired on July 1, 1995 - his 65th birthday. randy. turner@ freepress. mb. ca OBITUARY JOHN DAFOE AN INDELIBLE MARK / A11 SCAN PAGE TO READ AWARDWINNING STORIES A deep respect for facts, readers SCAN PAGE TO READ DAFOE'S COLUMNS By Randy Turner WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES John Dafoe knew from an early age he wanted to be a newspaper writer.
