Body found in resort blaze an employee
By Kelly PEDRO,
Free
Press
Reporter
The man found dead after fire ravaged a building at a Port Franks
golf resort was a longtime employee, Lambton Ontario Provincial
Police said yesterday. James (Trapper)
WATSON, 45, of Port Franks
was a maintenance worker, tending to the course and carts at
Sand
Hills
Golf Resort since it opened in 1996, Const. Luke
GEORGE
said.
"He was a dedicated employee," he said. "He was a jack of all
trades."
WATSON's family declined to comment yesterday.
A manager at the golf resort said everyone was still shocked,
but he didn't want to comment.
The fire broke out about 12: 30 a.m. Tuesday and caused $1 million
damage.
Firefighters found
WATSON's body inside a pickup truck several
hours after they began battling the blaze inside a metal maintenance
and storage building.
Police described the structure as H-shaped. The centre area contained
a workshop.
The building housed a tractor and hundreds of golf carts.
An autopsy was still ongoing yesterday and a cause of death had
not been determined.
Police and forensic investigators are still working with the
Ontario Fire Marshal's office to determine where the fire started
and what caused it.
"All fire scenes are crime scenes until it's proven otherwise,"
GEORGE said.
"We have to rule out foul play and we can't do that until we
have a cause of death."

knew they could do no more, In tears we saw you leaving, And
we watched you fade away, Our hearts were totally broken, When
you left us on that day, Some people say as time goes by, The
heartache will subside, But the feelings in our hearts today,
Are the same as the day you died, No matter how our lives have
changed, No matter what we do, We'll never forget those precious
years, The ones we shared with you. Forever in our hearts, the

ALLEN,
Robert
Greer
Bob ALLEN passed away quietly on August 20th, 2005 in Toronto
after a long struggle with cancer. Born in Toronto on October
19, 1917 he was a graduate of Trinity College at the University
of Toronto, and served in the communications corps of the Canadian
Forces during World War 2. Bob began his career with the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation writing and producing radio drama for
Andrew Allan in the late 40's. He was invited to help launch
television drama when Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television
went on air in 1952 and was one of the architects of Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation's 'Golden Age' of drama throughout the
50s and 60s. He finally retired in the late 80s after writing
producing directing and executive producing thousands of hours
of television drama for such shows as Sunshine Schetches Festival,
Folio, Opening Night The Great Detective and Seeing Things. He
contributed enormously through his passion, intelligence, knowledge
and generosity to the development of two generations of talent

Clifford GEORGE, War Hero And Native Activist (1920-2005)
Cousin of Dudley
GEORGE fought for the return of native land
expropriated by the army
By Kate HARRIES,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, October
17, 2005, Page S8
It was the ultimate irony.
Clifford GEORGE survived the Battle of Britain, the invasion
of France and a prisoner-of-war camp in Italy.
But when the 25-year-old war hero returned to Canada with a chest
full of medals and
an English bride on his arm, home was the
one place he couldn't go.
Stoney Point First Nation, the Ontario reserve on Lake Huron
where Mr. GEORGE was born, had been seized by the army in 1942
under the War Measures Act for use as a training camp.
The federal government promised to return the 2,200-acre reserve
after the war. The Stoney Pointers are still waiting.
Mr. GEORGE knew of the appropriation from letters his father
had sent him while he was overseas. But the reality -- of bulldozed
homes, lost harvests and a community in exile -- hadn't sunk
in.
It really hit home when he and brothers Kenneth and Clarence,
also Second World War veterans, obtained permission to visit
their mother's grave in Camp Ipperwash in a cemetery the army
had promised to fence off and treat with respect.
They found instead that the area had been worked over by people
"playing soldier" -- headstones had been used for target practice
and trenches dug through the gravesite.
In testimony last year to a judicial inquiry into the 1995 police
shooting death of his cousin Dudley
GEORGE,
Mr.
GEORGE recalled
the desolation the brothers felt as they surveyed the evidence
of desecration.
"Good, hardened soldiers, crying our hearts out," was how he
described it. "It was bad for us, coming home from overseas after
thinking that we helped the war out, and I always say to myself,
I found all my enemies when I got home."
Mr. GEORGE did battle with his enemies throughout his life, culminating
in 1993, when he played a leading role in the occupation of Camp
Ipperwash by a group of mostly younger Stoney Pointers who had
grown impatient with failed attempts to negotiate the return
of their land.
As winter closed in that year, most of the occupiers started
going home for part of the week. Dudley and Clifford
GEORGE --
one 36, the other 73 years old -- remained, the only permanent
residents; Dudley in a donated trailer, Clifford in a cabin built
out of donated wood. The pair felt it was important for at least
a couple of occupiers to maintain a full-time presence.
"They just took it upon themselves to do that.... That was a
hard, cold winter," Dudley's brother Sam said recently, reflecting
on Mr. GEORGE's role as a warrior in the battle for the return
of the Stoney Point reserve. Mr.
GEORGE continued to live in
his Stoney Point cabin until 1998, when he moved to Kettle Point.
The army vacated the base in 1995.
Sam GEORGE had his own battle, for a public investigation of
the circumstances behind his brother's death. The demand, repeatedly
denied by Conservative premier Mike
HARRIS, was granted by the
present provincial Liberal government. Hearings started in Forest,
Ontario, in July, 2004, and are to continue into next year.
Mr. GEORGE wasn't directly involved when, on September 4, 1995,
a group of Stoney Pointers moved from the army camp to occupy
the adjacent Ipperwash Provincial Park, site of a burial ground.
He later joked that he was peeved at not being consulted. "After
all, I'm the elder there." Dudley
GEORGE was shot on September
6 when the Ontario Provincial Police riot squad marched on the
unarmed group in the park, in a startling departure from the
force's usual contain-and-negotiate protocol.
Whether the deployment resulted from improper interference in
police operations by the Harris government is a key issue at
the inquiry, where Mr.
GEORGE became a familiar figure. Pushing
his walker before him, he attended almost every day until he
was hospitalized in August. In February, there was a request
that the inquiry venue be shifted briefly to Toronto. The proposal
gathered steam. Mr.
GEORGE expressed opposition. The idea died
a quick death.
Mr. GEORGE was a reference point and sounding board for inquiry
participants, said lawyer Julian
FALCONER of Aboriginal Legal
Services of Toronto. "Clifford
GEORGE was and is our conscience
in that room," he said in an interview. "It is not overstating
it to say that I routinely looked to him for approval. Sometimes
that approval wasn't forthcoming and he pushed us harder."
Despite increasing frailty, Mr.
GEORGE had a stature that transcended
his physical presence, Mr.
FALCONER added. "There are very few
people that you meet in a lifetime that have an aura of honour
about them. Clifford
GEORGE had that, because of his personal
history, how he carried himself and his pointed honesty, no matter
who he was talking to."
Mr. GEORGE was one of the last of those who grew up at Stoney
Point. In his testimony he remembered an era when 18 families
something over 100 people -- found all they needed in Aazhoodena
(the Anishinabek name for the area). They farmed, they hunted,
they fished from several inland lakes and gathered food and medicines.
"It was a very good community," he said, "a Christian community,"
with its own church beside the one-room schoolhouse.
In 1941, Mr.
GEORGE signed up with the armed forces. He was to
serve in most of the major engagements of Canada's war in Europe,
first as an anti-aircraft gunner in a unit that was rushed up
and down the south coast of England, in part to disguise that
country's lack of military equipment.
Joining the 2nd Division of the Canadian Army, he took part in
the breaking of German defences at Caen and the culminating battle
of the Falaise Gap, by which time he was a non-commissioned officer.
His was with the first Allied unit to re-enter Dieppe after the
debacle of 1942.
After his unit fought its way north to Holland, Mr.
GEORGE went
back to England on leave and quickly married his English fiancée,
Agnes, whom he had met when he first arrived in England.
Immediately afterward, he was sent out to the Royal Canadian
Regiment on the Sangro River in Italy. It was there that, in
February, 1945, he was taken prisoner and held for almost three
months -- just two days short of the 90 required to be eligible
for Prisoner of War benefits after the war -- in appalling conditions
by German forces close to collapse and on very short rations.
Had life unfolded as planned, Mr.
GEORGE would have taken his
bride to Stoney Point, where he would have been allotted four
acres of land to build on. But by 1945, the Stoney Pointers were
crammed into the Kettle Point reserve where the only way to get
land was to buy it.
With a child on the way, Mr.
GEORGE asked the Indian agent in
Sarnia for money for a plot at Kettle Point.
The Indian agent was outraged at the idea of a white woman living
on a reserve without hydro, phones or indoor plumbing.
"No sir, you're not going to get no land," he told Mr.
GEORGE.
Instead, he'd get him a down payment for a house in Forest.
Mr. GEORGE got $400, a fraction, he testified, of the $5,500
that all other returning soldiers were paid and far short of
the $2,200 that First Nations veterans were entitled to. The
Department of Indian Affairs took charge of aboriginal veterans'
benefits and decided that aboriginals needed less compensation
because living on a reserve cost less. All other soldiers were
paid through the Department of Veterans' Affairs, leading to
blatant inequalities in services to native veterans.
Mr. GEORGE didn't know that he was being defrauded by the paltry
$400 benefit and he didn't know that his acceptance of the payoff
would be taken as assent to revocation of his Indian status.
About a month later he received a blue card in the mail. It meant
he was enfranchised -- he could vote, buy alcohol and pay taxes.
It also meant he lost his status as a band member.
"I sold my rights and my wife's rights for $400," he would say
ruefully. "I was absolutely unaware of what they had done to
me." Only with passage of Bill C-31 in 1985 would he regain full
status.
Unable to find a job that paid enough to support his family,
he re-enlisted, fought in Korea and remained with the army until
1959. He then returned to Forest where he worked for a basket
company for many years, earning minimum wage.
Clifford GEORGE was born at the Stoney Point First Nation reserve
on Lake Huron on March 11, 1920. He died of heart failure in
hospital in Sarnia, Ontario, on September 30. He was 75. He leaves
two daughters, seven grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and
one great-great-grandchild.

Family mourns devoted father
Kenrick CHAPMAN stabbed to death '
He died with love in his heart'
By Tracy HUFFMAN,
Crime
Reporter
Kenrick CHAPMAN loved his wife, his five children and his five
stepchildren.
He tried to teach the children to make good choices, to stay
out of trouble and make something of themselves.
The 60-year-old, who came to Canada as a young man from Guyana,
was quiet and peaceful.
His stepson, Jamal
CLARKE, remembers much of the guidance and
advice CHAPMAN gave him.
"A man without principles is no man. You must have class and
you must have principles,"
CLARKE said his stepfather would tell
him.
CHAPMAN, a retired Ontario Hydro employee, was fatally stabbed
on May 5 in his home near Jane St. and Finch Ave. W. at about
2: 20 p.m. A family friend who was staying at the home has been
charged with second-degree murder.
CHAPMAN was buried on Saturday. "He was like a father to me,"
CLARKE said in an interview before the funeral. "He would teach
me, guide me. Most of my thoughts and beliefs today are because
of him."
CLARKE, 20, is a York University student and advocate against
violence. He is working on several projects in the Jane-Finch
community in an effort to help youth realize their potential.
"Ken made an impression on me,"
CLARKE said. "When I wasn't doing
well in school, he supported me and encouraged me to work hard."
But CLARKE said he most appreciated
CHAPMAN's love for his mother
Janis. "He's always there for my mom. His priority was always
my mom and the children,"
CLARKE said. "He was there for every
event."
When CLARKE graduated from high school,
CHAPMAN was there, dressed
in a nice suit and cowboy boots "with his big camera snapping
away."
The man charged in
CHAPMAN's death was a close friend of the
family.
The day of
CHAPMAN's death,
CLARKE said he left the house in
the late morning, rushing to an appointment. He told
CHAPMAN
he would see him soon.
A few hours later, a neighbour called
CLARKE and told him there
were police and paramedics at his house. He rushed home and saw
a trail of blood out the front door to the street. His grandmother,
who lives with the family, gave him the news.
"I couldn't get mad or angry or sad. I was in shock,"
CLARKE
said. "Why did this happen?"
And, he said: "I was upset that my grandmother was there. She
didn't need to see that.
"Death is okay," he said. "An untimely death is not.... But I
know Ken was at peace. And he died with love in his heart."
Lawrence GEORGE, 60, is charged with second-degree murder.

Clifford GEORGE, 85: Elder kept his sense of humour
Native elder fought in two wars but found 'enemies' at home
A regular at hearings into cousin's death at Ipperwash park
By Peter EDWARDS,
Staff
Reporter
Clifford GEORGE, a native elder who retained a boyish sense of
humour despite pain that included being a World War 2 prisoner
of war and losing his family home to the Canadian government,
will be buried tomorrow.
GEORGE was a constant fixture at the Ipperwash inquiry into the
shooting death of his cousin, Anthony (Dudley)
GEORGE, until
August, when he began traditional native and mainstream treatments
for cancer. Over the past month, he also suffered two heart attacks
and stroke while in hospital.
He died Friday in a Sarnia hospital at the age of 85.
Mr.
Justice
Sidney
LINDEN, chair of the Ipperwash inquiry, praised
GEORGE's humour and wisdom over the past 14 months during public
hearings in the southwestern Ontario town of Forest, near the
Stoney
Point reserve where
GEORGE was raised.
"Clifford GEORGE's good humour and positive outlook were particularly
admired and appreciated,"
LINDEN said in a prepared statement.
"He will be greatly missed by many and his death marks a sad
day for all of us."
Lead commission lawyer Derry
MILLAR said: "Clifford
GEORGE as
an elder brought great wisdom to his community and the wider
community. His presence at the inquiry virtually every day was
an inspiration to all participants."
The inquiry is looking into the death of his distant cousin Dudley
GEORGE, 38, who was shot by an Ontario Provincial Police officer
late at night on September 6, 1995. Acting Sergeant Kenneth
DEANE
was convicted of criminal negligence causing death.
Dudley GEORGE was one of two dozen native protestors who occupied
Ipperwash Provincial Park at the end of tourist season in 1995,
saying it was on a sacred burial ground. Their claims were later
supported by documents released by the federal government.
Clifford GEORGE said there were several sacred burial grounds
in Ipperwash Provincial Park on Lake Huron near Sarnia. He also
loved to tell that he knew the secret burial site of the great
native leader Tecumseh, who was killed by U.S. troops during
the War of 1812 on the banks of the Thames River, about a 45-minute
drive from Stoney Point.
When he testified at the Ipperwash inquiry in September 2004,
Clifford GEORGE wore a veteran's blue blazer, with a chest full
of war medals from World War 2 and the Korean War, and held an
eagle feather, a native symbol for truth.
He told of how the return home from World War 2 was particularly
rough for his older brother, Kenneth, who suffered shell shock
in combat. Immediately after returning to Canada in 1945, Kenneth
GEORGE skipped a party held by his military unit in Guelph to
hitchhike to Stoney Point, only to see his community had been
levelled for a military base.
"He looked around and found that (his former home) was a barracks,
and he couldn't understand that,"
GEORGE said. "He slept in a
ditch for the rest of the night, because he didn't know where
to go."
Clifford GEORGE and his two older brothers, all of whom volunteered
to fight overseas, were granted permission to visit the graveyard
at the military base where their mothers and others from the
community were buried.
"There was trenches dug where they were playing soldier, right
in our gravesite,"
GEORGE said. "That is what made it bad for
us.... I always say, 'I found all my enemies when I got home.'"
Clifford GEORGE said he tried to bring his English war bride,
whom he met while fighting with an anti-aircraft unit in Dover,
onto the Kettle Point reserve where his family had been forcibly
relocated by the Canadian government in 1942.
However, he testified an official told him it wasn't right to
bring a white woman onto a native reserve that would likely never
get hydroelectricity or indoor plumbing.
Clifford GEORGE and his cousin Dudley were among several dozen
Stoney Point natives who moved back onto the military base in
1993 and refused to leave. In the summer of 1995, the Canadian
military moved out.
In an interview, Clifford
GEORGE said he welcomed
LINDEN's approach
of putting Dudley
GEORGE's death in the context of history and
culture, and striving for healing as well as facts.
"I've been asked a lot of times, 'Don't you hate white people?'"
he said in an interview during a break in the inquiry. "I can't
hate nobody.... I learned a long time ago if you want to have
Friends, you've got to be one."
