Marilyn Irma
PERKINS
By Marian R.
HOOD
Wednesday,
March 5, 2003 - Page A18
Conductor, teacher, pianist, organizer, vocal coach. Born March
25, 1933, in Toronto. Died January 2 in Calgary, of liver cancer,
aged 69.
Two opera conductors, a homeless man, a pediatrician, a psychologist,
a teacher, a refugee, a dentist: Marilyn
PERKINS influenced each
of these people.
The habit of helping others showed itself early in a letter Marilyn
wrote to Santa Claus when she was eight years old. She requested
a doll for herself and a teddy bear for her baby brother.
As she grew older, Marilyn continued to consider others' needs.
Marilyn's younger brother didn't like to get out of a warm bed
so, when it was cold, it was hard to get him up in the morning.
Knowing this, Marilyn got up first and draped his underwear over
a chair near the heater.
Marilyn's generosity with time, attention and money extended
to family, Friends, students and acquaintances. She bought coffee,
blue jeans, runners and bus tickets for street people. If someone
needed a car, Marilyn lent hers. Marilyn once bought a piano
for a student whose family could not afford one. When Friends
needed money, Marilyn lent it.
When the city of Calgary could no longer fund a program that
matched needy families with donors of Christmas hampers, Marilyn
stepped in. She ran the Adopt-a-Family program out of Scarboro
United Church, and for 13 years found the necessary donors and
volunteers. It was difficult to say "No" to Marilyn. So great
was her capacity to organize and inspire that the program floundered
in 2002 when liver cancer prevented Marilyn from running it.
Although many people knew Marilyn through her charity work, many
more knew her as a conductor, teacher and vocal coach. In June
of 2002, Marilyn was made a Member of the Order of Canada, for
"her legacy of excellence in music in Alberta."
On the sunny evening of Marilyn's investiture, people lined up
for blocks an hour before the ceremony waiting to be ushered
to a seat in Scarboro United Church, where Marilyn served as
choir director for 44 years. Former students, now greying at
the temples, embraced each other and told stories about Marilyn
as a teacher.
Finding boys interested in choral music was always a bit of a
challenge. When the school needed someone to drive football and
basketball players to games, Marilyn earned her bus licence.
Suddenly football and basketball players began showing up in
Marilyn's choral-music classes.
One boy, who came to the choral class via the band and the football
field, went on to become the general director of the Calgary
Opera.
Marilyn never backed away from challenges. A friend recalls her
striding into the school staff room, in the days when it wasn't
polite to talk about a woman's age, and announcing, "Forty's
not so bad."
She met life head on and always found the things about it that
were "not so bad."
Even during her final illness, she saw having cancer as not all
bad. It brought her closer to her Friends. She had time to say
goodbye and to learn from many people what a difference she had
made in their lives. She retained her sense of humour and her
ability to care for others.
Her bedside became, for some, a place of stillness in their hurried
lives.
As her illness claimed more and more of her independence, Marilyn's
close Friends drew up a schedule so that someone was always with
her.
Marilyn summed up life with the words, "In the end, all that
matters is kindness."
As she brought kindness to the world one person at a time, so
kindness came back to her one person at a time.
Marian R. HOOD is a former student and friend of Marilyn
PERKINS.

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.
