He was a daredevil footballer in the days of leather helmets
By Tom HAWTHORN
Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, May 9,
2003 - Page R11
Norris LINDSAY, a teammate of Ormond
BEACH and Bummer
STIRLING
on the storied Sarnia Imperials football team, has died in Petrolia,
Ontario He was 94.
At 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, he was a big man in the era of leather
helmets and earned a reputation for his flying tackles, a daredevil
play that has long since fallen out of favour. In lieu of salary
as a two-way player, Mr.
LINDSAY and his teammates were guaranteed
jobs with Canadian Oil Companies Ltd.
Mr. LINDSAY helped the Imperials win the Ontario Rugby Football
Union champioship in 1933 and 1934 over Balmy Beach, St. Michael's
College and the Hamilton Tigers.
In 1933, the Imperials played host to the 1933 Grey Cup championship
against the Toronto Argonauts. Despite his regular-season contributions,
coach Pat OUELLETTE did not have Mr.
LINDSAY suit up for the
big game, which was won 4-3 by Toronto in the lowest-scoring
Grey Cup ever played.
Mr. LINDSAY was frustrated again the following year, when coach
Art MASSUCCI did not place him on the Imperials' roster for the
Grey Cup final. Sarnia defeated the Regina Roughriders 20-12
at Toronto. Among Mr.
LINDSAY's teammates wearing the three-starred
sweater of the Imperials were Mr.
BEACH, a sensational halfback
kicker Hugh (Bummer)
STIRLING of Saint Thomas, Ontario; rugged
snapper Boob
MOLLOY; and, the speedy Norm
PERRY, known as The
Galloping Ghost.
Mr. LINDSAY, who was born in Tupperville, Ontario, near Chatham
in southwestern Ontario, was also a gifted golfer who entered
the 1940 Canadian Open. "He told me his first shot went out of
bounds, said Pat
SUTHERLAND, a friend. "By the time he was
done, he had shot an 11 on the first hole."
Mr. LINDSAY, an amateur, shot an embarrassing 93 on the par-71
course, following with a 90. The tournament was won in a playoff
by the legendary American golfer Sam
SNEAD.
Shortly after, Mr.
LINDSAY joined the merchant marine and was a radio operator during
the Second World War. In peacetime, he took over the Blue Bay
Lodge near Huntsville, Ontario, which he operated until 1963.
Mr. LINDSAY golfed until late in life. When his local club opened
a new clubhouse, he rented the old one and made it his home.
He died on March 11 at the Lambton Meadowview Villa in Petrolia,
10 days after marking his 94th birthday. He was predeceased by
his wife, Bette, who died in 1965.

witnesses: are silent as the slain weep
By Christie
BLATCHFORD,
Tuesday,
December 30, 2003 - Page A1
Even on its face, what unfolded in two parts of the Beechwood Cemetery at noon yesterday is a gripping story.
There, in Section 7, the family of Godfrey "Junior"
DUNBAR --
including his three astonishingly beautiful children, aged 12,
8 and 7 -- were holding a vigil for their lost son, brother and
father at his grave. Mr.
DUNBAR and Richard
BROWN, respectively
27 and 29 years old, were gunned down precisely four years earlier
at a North York nightclub jammed with upward of 800 people.
The case went cold and has stayed that way -- Toronto police
offered a $50,000 reward yesterday as a last resort -- not because
it isn't solvable, not for a lack of potential witnesses, but
rather because none of those witnesses, including many Friends of the two men, is talking.
Among those who were at the Connections II club that night and
who would not tell detectives what they saw was one Kirk
SWEENEY.
And who was being buried yesterday in Section 17 of the cemetery,
about 400 metres away from the vigil? None other than young Mr.
SWEENEY, himself the victim of an execution-style killing just
before Christmas at a downtown club called the G Spot.
There was a big crowd of mourners at the mound of fresh earth
by his grave. Funerals for the young black men who form the city's
largest single group of homicide victims are always well attended,
as Mr. DUNBAR's terrific older sister, Trisha, noted yesterday.
At her brother's, for instance, she remembered, people did what
they could to console the family. "But money is not what we wanted,"
she said. "We wanted for one of them to come forward." It is
the cruellest irony, she said, that her brother, who so "valued
Friendship," should have been betrayed by those who were with him the night he died.
At the vigil, the crowd was tiny, composed only of relatives,
media (invited because the
DUNBARs are hoping renewed publicity
will see someone belatedly speak up) and other black mothers who have lost sons to gun violence.
One of them was Yvonne
BEASLEY.
I'd been told her son had been
killed, and after introducing myself, asked if the case had been
solved. She looked at me as though I was mad. "Oh," she said, "they're all unsolved."
"What was your son's name?" I asked, apologizing for not remembering.
"I don't blame you," she said. "There have been so many."
Her boy was Sydney
HEMMANS.
One day shy of his 19th birthday,
in July, 2001, he was shot and killed in his old downtown neighbourhood.
"Were there witnesses?" I asked Ms.
BEASLEY. "
There are always
witnesses," she said. "That's why all us moms are here."
Another was Julia
FARQUHARSON, whose 24-year-old son, Segun,
was shot and killed on May 17, 2001, the victim of what began
as an attempted robbery and ended in an utterly senseless murder.
Mr. FARQUHARSON was carrying his basketball at the time of his
death, and, realizing the gravity of the situation he was in,
had called his own cellphone's voicemail to secretly record the
voices of the two men wanting to rob him. That two-minute call,
played publicly by homicide detectives not long after Mr.
FARQUHARSON's
murder, is a terrifying mélange of Mr.
FARQUHARSON clutching
his basketball and pleading for his life, and one of his attackers shrieking, "Yo, let me fucking kill you, dude."
Police were hoping someone would recognize the voices on the
tape, and call them. That was more than two years ago. They continue
to wait, and despite a recent $50,000 reward, Mr.
FARQUHARSON's slaying remains unsolved.
That is one of the other stories here -- that police, despite
dogged work and the fact that so many of these killings take
place in public places, cannot successfully close these cases
without witnesses: willing to testify and that, on the rare occasion
they are able to get a case to court, the witnesses: are by then
demonstrably unreliable, having given several versions of what they saw before belatedly telling the truth.
All of this goes to undermine the administration of justice.
But the other, broader story is that because of the intimate
connections that often exist among the slain and their killers
and the mute witnesses: to their deaths -- and the fact that so
much of the gun violence in Toronto is committed by young black
men upon other young black men -- there is a growing cynicism, captured in an e-mail I got yesterday.
In Monday's paper, I'd written about the case of Adrian Roy
BAPTISTE,
a handsome 21-year-old who was shot five times, in broad daylight,
last Saturday, just eight days after he was found not guilty
by a properly constituted jury, and freed, in another shooting in Hamilton almost two years previous.
This is what the note said: "Let them all shoot each other. Leave
the rest of us in peace. And let God sort it all out. Enough said."
I understand the weariness there, but strongly disagree.
The killing spree now going on in the city -- not the first one,
merely the latest -- is not a problem confined to the lawless,
and it ought not to be left to the black community to solve.
There are often perfectly innocent victims, and even those with
lengthy criminal records die so young that they never get the
proverbial second chance that ought to be a given in a civilized society.
Junior DUNBAR's mother, Jamela, bent low in the rain yesterday
and whispered to her son's tombstone, "You had so many Friends.
None of them came forward to speak on your behalf; no one has
the decency. Where are your Friends now?" His older son, Marquel,
left a little drawing of him and his dad holding hands.
The baby son, D'angelo, stood with his small face utterly stricken,
his big sister, Deondra, keeping an arm around him.
Aside from a few reporters, the only white face at the vigil
belonged to Gary
BRENNAN, the detective who was one of the original
investigators of Mr.
DUNBAR's killing; he has moved to another squad now, but still was good enough to show up.
It's rarely the cops who have to be motivated to give a damn. It's the rest of us.

He founded Readers' Club of Canada
Nationalist visionary struggled financially to publish Canadian
writers
By Carol COOPER
Special to The Globe and Mail Tuesday, April
22, 2003 - Page R7
In the early 1960s, when writers asked Peter and Carol
MARTIN
where to publish their manuscripts on Canada, the couple realized
how few choices there were. Inspired, the Martins, both voracious
readers, staunch nationalists and founders of the Readers' Club
of Canada, decided to start their own press. In 1965, Peter Martin
Associates came into being. Last month, Peter
MARTIN died of
lung cancer in Ottawa.
In an industry overshadowed by American companies, Peter
MARTIN
Associates was among the first in a wave of independent publishing
houses to open during a time of rising Canadian nationalism.
Launched in a downtown Toronto basement on a shoestring budget,
skeleton staff, idealism and enthusiasm, the company flew by
the seat of its pants. Its employees were often young and new
to the business. But many, including Peter
CARVER,
Michael
SOLOMON
and Valerie
WYATT, went on to become Canadian mainstays.
"It really was a time of Canadian nationalism and those of us
who believed in that cause could see what Peter and Carol were
doing," said Ms.
WYATT, a children's editor who spent four years
with the company in the seventies.
During the 16 years before its sale in 1981, Peter Martin Associates
published approximately 170 works, mainly non-fiction. Its presses
put out I, Nuligak, the autobiography of an Inuit man; The Boyd
Gang by Marjorie
LAMB and Barry
PEARSON;
Trapping is My Life
by John TETSO; and the Handbook of Canadian Film by Eleanor
BEATTIE.
Others who came through their doors included Hugh
HOOD,
Robert
FULFORD, John Robert
COLOMBO, Douglas
FETHERLING and Mary Alice
DOWNIE -- all to have their works published.
Started with small amounts of seed money from private investors
and no government funding, Peter Martin Associates constantly
struggled financially. At one point, for a bit of extra cash,
the office became the designated nuclear-fallout shelter for
the street. Pat
DACEY, once the firm's book designer, lugged
suitcases of books up the street to sell at Britnell's bookstore
with summer employee Bronwyn
DRAINIE.
Working at Peter Martin Associates was always fun, Ms.
WYATT
said. "You went in to work happy and you stayed happy all day."
Still, in a time when Canadian works received little recognition,
she remembers finding it difficult to get media interviews for
the author of Martin-published book.
Yet another title caused trouble with its subject. The company
was putting out a collection of previously published sayings
of former prime minister John
DIEFENBAKER, called I Never Say
Anything Provocative, edited by Margaret
WENTE. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER
heard about the project, called Mr.
MARTIN and threatened to
sue. Mr. MARTIN stood firm.
"He handled it with such élan," said writer Tim
WYNNE-
JONES,
then in the art department. "He was suitably dutiful, but not
in awe. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER was just over the top, as was his wont."
The book went to press and Mr.
DIEFENBAKER did not go to court.
Once listed along with Peter
GZOWSKI in a Maclean's magazine
article on "Young Men to Watch," Mr.
MARTIN was born on April
26, 1934 in Ottawa to a dentist father and a mother who drove
an ambulance in the First World War. The younger of two sons,
he attended Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario and
the University of Toronto, where he earned a degree in philosophy.
During a year in Ottawa as the president of the National Federation
of University Students, Mr.
MARTIN met his first wife
Carol.
They married in 1956 and moved to Toronto. Three years later,
they founded the Readers' Club in Featuring one Canadian book
a month, it distributed works by Mordecai
RICHLER,
Irving
LAYTON,
Morley CALLAGHAN and Brian
MOORE among others, and supplied its
members with coupons. While continuing to run the Readers' Club
(sold in 1978 to Saturday Night Magazine and closed in 1981),
the MARTINs started Peter Martin Associates.
Throughout his career, Mr.
MARTIN spoke out for Canadian publishing.
Alarmed by the sale of Ryerson Press and Gage Educational Press
in 1970 to American firms, he called a meeting of publishers
to discuss problems in the industry. Named the Independent Publishers
Association, the group started in 1971 with 16 members and with
Mr. MARTIN as its first president. In 1976, it was renamed the
Association of Canadian Publishers and continues today with 140
members. As a result of the group's efforts, Canadian publishing
began to receive federal and provincial funding.
In the late 1970s, the
MARTINs went their separate ways. Afterward,
Mr. MARTIN published a small newspaper, The Downtowner, and owned
a cookbook store with his second wife, Maggie
NIEMI. In 1983,
they moved near Sudbury, Ontario, where Mr.
MARTIN did freelance
book and theatre reviews, then moved to Ottawa in 1985 to work
as president for Balmuir Books, publisher of the magazine International
Perspectives and consulting editor for the University of Ottawa
Press.
After a spinal-cord injury in 1997, Mr.
MARTIN was left a quadriplegic,
except for limited use of his left arm. Even so, he remained
active, maintained a heavy e-mail correspondence and spent time
in the park reading while seated in a bright-yellow wheelchair.
Mr. MARTIN leaves his children Pamela, Christopher and Jeremy
and his wife
Maggie
NIEMI. He died on March 15.

'Galloping Ghost' of Canadian football made five halls of fame
By Randy RAY,
Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, December
12, 2003 - Page R17
Ottawa -- If Gordon
PERRY had one regret following his illustrious
career in Canadian sports, it's that he never competed as a sprinter
in the Olympics.
A glance at the Moncton native's résumé clearly shows why he
never ran for Canada at the Games: He didn't have time.
Mr. PERRY, who died in Ottawa on September 18 at the age of 100,
competed successfully in seven sports. His extraordinary feats
earned him a place in five Canadian sports halls of fame: Canadian
Football Hall of Fame, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, Quebec Sports
Hall of Fame, New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame and Ottawa Sports
Hall of Fame.
Friends and colleagues have compared him to Canada's Lionel
CONACHER,
who played hockey and football, and American Deion
SANDERS who
was both a baseball and football player. Mr.
PERRY, however,
excelled in football, baseball, hockey, boxing, track and field,
curling and swimming.
As a kid, "all he ever wanted to do was play sports," says his
son Gordon
PERRY
Jr. of Ottawa. "It seemed like he always had
a baseball glove on his hand or skates on his feet. And he could
run like a deer." Born of Welsh ancestry in Moncton on March
18, 1903, Mr.
PERRY went to school in Moncton and Quebec City.
His father Harry, was a composer and musician who played the
organ at a church in Quebec City.
Mr. PERRY, who began his working career in banking and stocks
in Carleton Place, Ontario, boxed as an amateur in Quebec City
and was a goaltender in the Bankers' Hockey League, a highly
competitive loop in the 1920s and '30s that played at the Montreal
Forum. As a sprinter, Mr.
PERRY posted times of 10 seconds and
under for 100 yards.
But he's best known for his role as captain of the undefeated
Montreal Amateur Athletic Association Winged Wheelers that beat
the Regina Roughriders 22-0 in the 1931 Grey Cup game. Small
and quick, and standing at just at five foot eight and 165 pounds,
PERRY was nicknamed the "Galloping Ghost" because of his elusiveness.
He was a four-time Eastern all-star in the Canadian Rugby Union,
precursor to today's Canadian Football League. In 1931, he won
the Jeff Russel Trophy as the player who best combined athletic
ability with sportsmanship. Sir Edward
BEATTY, president of the
Canadian
Pacific
Rail, awarded
PERRY the trophy, which earned
him $200 on top of his football salary of $1,200.
From 1928 to 1934, the Wheelers squad was built around Mr.
PERRY.
"I played both ways," he told The Ottawa Citizen on the eve of
his 100th birthday. "I didn't often sit down, that's for sure."
He once told the Montreal Gazette the secret to his success against
bigger men was that "You can run like hell when you're scared."
There was one time, however, when Mr.
PERRY couldn't run fast
enough.
"He was playing in Montreal against Ottawa and he laughed at
a lineman," recalls his son. "When the teams came back here [Ottawa],
the guy caught up with my dad and he was carried off the field
with three broken ribs. He did not always get away." Mr.
PERRY
often said baseball was his favourite sport, a game he played
with grace and skill. He was invited as a young teen to go to
Boston to play but his father would not let him leave Moncton.
Later, as a centre-fielder in Montreal, he helped his Atwater
Baseball League team win five championships in seven seasons.
After retiring from football in 1934, Mr.
PERRY, took up curling.
After settling down in Ottawa in 1941, he won curling's Royal
Jubilee Trophy in 1953 and 1956. At age 60, he scored a rare
eight-ender while competing in a provincial event, says his son,
who is president of the Ottawa Curling Club, which for 42 years
has run a spring bonspiel in his father's name.
In Ottawa, he worked in several positions with the Bank of Canada.
When he retired in the early 1970s, he was involved in the printing
and distribution of Canada Savings Bonds -- ironically, working
alongside Ron
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, who was once a fleet-footed running back
with the Ottawa Rough Riders.
Mr. PERRY continued to curl until he was 90 and played his last
round of golf at 98. At 100, the honours continued to pour in.
In the 1903 Canadian Football League season, Mr.
PERRY was named
honorary captain of the Montreal Alouettes.
Mr. PERRY and his first wife, Jay
KEITH, had three children,
Gord Jr., Pat and Lynn. His second wife was Betty
THOMAS. Ms.
KEITH and Ms.
THOMAS died in their 60s; at age 91, Mr.
PERRY
married Muriel
TAGGART, then a 72-year-old widow. He leaves his
wife and three children.

After returning to Canada in 1954, he joined St. Michael's Hospital
as a staff surgeon and became head of the Division of General

with his children, grandchildren, colleagues and Friends.
Leo believed in striving for excellence in everything that he
