James JEROME,
Politician and Judge: (1933-2005)
He was king of the hill as Speaker of the House of Commons but
less successful as a federal judge. Appointed in a blip of election-day
patronage, he encountered unaccustomed criticism
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, August
31, 2005, Page S9
James JEROME was a popular Speaker of the House of Commons who
seemingly could do no wrong until he became a federal judge.
Mr. JEROME was the first Speaker chosen from an opposition party,
he introduced television coverage of the Commons and he wielded
a fair but firm hand during Question Period. Then, in an unusual
spasm of election-day patronage, he was made associate chief
justice of the Federal Court of Canada, where he came under unfamiliar
attack. He stepped down in March of 1998 after his slow handling
of war-crimes cases.
James JEROME spent his early years in Kingston, Ontario, where
his father was a construction engineer. Later, the family moved
to Toronto, where James went to high school, the University of
Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law School.
After law school, Mr.
JEROME moved to Sudbury, Ontario His first
step into politics was winning a seat on city council. He then
ran for the Liberals in a by-election in May of 1967 and lost
but won in the 1968 general election, the year of Trudeaumania.
He was re-elected in 1972, 1974 and 1979. Though the Liberals
lost that election, he retained his seat with a majority of 12,000
votes.
Along the way, he had taught himself French to advance his political
career and it probably helped land what some call the best job
in the House of Commons. The post of Speaker comes with a staff
of 3,000 and includes a rent-free, country estate called Kingsmere
and a social life as glittering as that of the Governor-General.
The
Commons first elected Mr.
JEROME the Speaker in September
of 1974 after the Liberals had won a majority government. Yet
it wasn't a unanimous vote for the new Speaker. In an interesting
footnote, Robert
STANFIELD, leader of the opposition, refused
to second his nomination.
Mr. JEROME remained in power through the long Trudeau Parliament.
His most lasting change to the House of Commons was bringing
in television coverage in 1978, which he said led to "a far higher
quality of journalism in reporting the proceedings of the Commons."
His ground rules for broadcasters were eventually copied by other
parliaments, including the British House of Commons.
As Speaker, he managed to steer clear of problems. He was involved
in only a few major battles while ruling as arbiter of taste
and as master of debates in the Commons. He did, however, get
into a fierce war of words with The Globe and Mail when the Speaker
sided with a 1976 vote by the parliamentary press gallery to
bar Canadian Press managers who were working as reporters during
a strike. Parliamentarians said The Globe had committed a "gross
libel" against the Speaker. The newspaper's view, as expressed
in two editorials, was that the Speaker shouldn't be allowed
to decide who can or cannot sit in the press gallery.
In October of 1979, during the short-lived Tory government of
Joe CLARK,
Mr.
JEROME refused to recognize Warren
ALLMAND after
the former Liberal cabinet minister showed up in the House wearing
a turtleneck sweater under a tweed jacket. Mr.
ALLMAND wasn't
happy, but before he get to his feet to complain, he first had
to rush out and borrow a tie.
"Men in this House should have the same freedom of dress as women,"
Mr. ALLMAND eventually responded, pointing out that cabinet minister
Flora McDONALD was not wearing a tie. The Speaker was not moved
and cries of "Wear a dress, Warren," arose from the government
side.
Mr. JEROME's election as Speaker during a Conservative government
had been a minor triumph. In June of 1979, the Tories won a minority
government and, in a surprise move, prime minister Joe
CLARK
allowed Mr.
JEROME to remain in the Speaker's chair.
It was the first time in Commons history that a Speaker had been
chosen from an Opposition party, a testament to the high esteem
in which Mr.
JEROME was held on all sides of the House and a
recognition by the Tories of the benefits of reducing potential
Opposition votes by one in a minority situation.
As it turned out, the arrangement did not last. The Clark government
was defeated in a no-confidence vote that December.
A general election was called for February 18, 1980, and Mr.
JEROME chose not to run. Instead, as Canadians went to the polls,
Mr. CLARK named him associate chief justice of the Federal Court
of Canada. Since the Conservatives were, in theory, still in
power, they likely made the appointment at the request of the
Liberals. It was a most unusual development, as outgoing prime
ministers seldom make appointments on election day. In this case,
it seemed all parties had agreed to making a judicial appointment
for the sake of the retiring Speaker.
His new job, however, was not so cozy. As a judge, he soon found
his decisions open to criticism. His biggest troubles arose during
his last years as a Federal Court judge. Two incidents exposed
the question of whether former senior politicians and government
officials should be named to the bench.
In 1996, the chief justice of the Federal Court, Julius
ISAAC,
had a dinner meeting with a senior official of the department
of justice who complained that Mr. Justice James
JEROME was taking
too long in the deportation hearings against three alleged Nazi
war criminals.
The chief justice then intervened privately with Judge
JEROME.
Later, the Supreme Court ruled that Judge
JEROME and another
judge could not have any further connections with the case. Around
the same time, Judge
JEROME became involved in another controversy,
related in part to the war-crimes case.
In making a comment about a case involving an aboriginal band,
Judge JEROME was reported to have said he would never put a native
judge on a native case and would never put a Jewish judge on
a war-crimes case. This remark caused outrage from Jewish and
aboriginal leaders, and a rebuke by the then-justice minister,
Anne McLELLAN.
Both incidents led to a reform of how judges were named by the
federal cabinet. For a time, at least 10 judges in the federal
court's trial and appeal divisions had been former federal members
of Parliament or government employees -- including Judge
ISAAC,
who was a former employee of the Department of Justice.
The appointments had been made by the Liberals during their long
run in power from the 1960s to the early 1980s. On his last full
day as prime minister in 1984, Pierre
TRUDEAU appointed two cabinet
members to the court. Two weeks later, his successor John
TURNER
appointed another former cabinet minister. The practice had made
the court the object of criticism over its independence from
the government.
In 1998, changes were finally made to the way judges are named.
"Now, it would appear to be impossible to name a cabinet minister
as a judge," said Ian
BUSHNELL, a retired law professor from
the University of Windsor who wrote the history of both the Supreme
Court and the Federal Court. "He [Mr.
JEROME] was caught up in
the patronage binge of the Trudeau/Turner era. No one who was
appointed was a dud or a failure. As a judge, Mr.
JEROME was
certainly adequate."
Even so, it was as Speaker that he had shone. After his retirement
from the Commons, Mr.
JEROME wrote a memoir titled Mr. Speaker.
In a review of the book, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporter
Larry ZOLF recalled Mr.
JEROME's years in the House: "Few parliamentarians
have ever been as popular with members of Parliament, reporters
or constituents as the Toronto Irish Liberal member from the
mining constituency of Sudbury....
JEROME's sensibilities are
certainly missed in the carnival atmosphere into which the House,
alas, has lately degenerated."
In his private life, Mr.
JEROME was very much the family man.
After he moved to the Speaker's house north of Ottawa, he bought
a family cottage on Ramsey Lake near Sudbury. Mr.
JEROME was
an accomplished piano player and loved card games, especially
bridge and gin. He was a keen golfer and he and his family skied
at Camp Fortune near Ottawa.
James Alexander
JEROME was born on March 4, 1933. He died in
Ottawa on August 21 of Huntington's disease. He is survived by
his wife Barry Karen and his children, Mary-Lou, Paul, Jim and
Megan. Another son, Joseph, died in an accident in 1986.

Gerald GLADSTONE,
Artist: 1929-2005
Determined and prolific sculptor who won several major commissions
at Expo 67 shot as brightly as a comet through the Canadian art
scene and then gradually burned out, writes Sandra
MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,

His name is only vaguely familiar now, but Gerald
GLADSTONE,
a self-taught artist and musician, was a huge force in Canadian
art in the 1950s and 1960s. Short, stocky with curly hair and
a fiery personality, he had a spiritual conception of the cosmos
and our place within it, a vision which he interpreted in monumental
yet dynamic welded steel sculptures.
Born in Toronto in 1929, the year of the stock-market crash that
precipitated the Depression, he was the sixth of nine children
of Ralph and Dora
GLADSTONE. A dynamic, feisty boy, he disliked
the discipline and structure of school. His younger brother Joseph
says his teachers let him do all the class art projects and simply
passed him in other subjects year after year, until he got fed
up and quit at the end of Grade 8 and went to work.
In those days, he was as much a musician as he was an artist.
He taught himself to play the clarinet and formed a jazz band.
He was also a sharp dancer and loved to go jitterbugging with
his sister Rose. "He was very pugnacious, very proud of being
Jewish and very up front about it and it often caused him difficulties
in his social life," remembered his brother David.
He married artist Sheila
McCUSKER when he was in his very early
20s. Allycia, the eldest of the couple's six children was born
in September, 1953. Mr.
GLADSTONE built an easel on a hinge on
the wall over her crib so that he could paint and draw after
he had come home from work and she was sleeping. By his own count,
he had close to 30 jobs in 14 years, eventually working at Rapid
Grip as a commercial artist and attaining the position of art
director with McLaren Advertising before he quit to devote himself
to art.
Mr. GLADSTONE built a shack out the back of their house in the
Beach area of Toronto, "breaking every fire law under the sun,"
according to his brother Joseph and making sculptures that one
observer described as "a blowtorch blending of gramophone speakers,
wheel rims and wire waste baskets." He would work furiously and
when he heard an inspector was coming, he would clean up like
mad, his brother said.
He was one of the group of artists exhibited by Av
ISAACS in
the 1950s that included Michael Snow, Gordon Rayner, Graham Coughtry
and Tony Urquhart. Mr. Rayner remembers "Gerry playing a mean
Dixieland clarinet" at parties. His work did two things at once,
said Mr. Urquhart. "It was expressionistic and at the same time
it was coming to grips with technology. Some of the ones I particularly
liked, partly because I hadn't a clue how he would do them, were
these big sculptures submerged in big blocks of lucite."
"To pick up a welding torch and use it in the service of sculpture
was an avant-garde thing to do" in those early struggling days
when "people were still bashing at stone," observed critic Gary
Michael
Dault.
Mr.
GLADSTONE's sculptures, with their welded
steel rods and whirling discs, looked adventurously modernist
in the all-too-provincial Toronto of the 1950s.
Curator
Dennis
Reid says Mr.
GLADSTONE's cosmic vision was a
great strength. The actual sculptures -- the cones and rods --
read on both a galactic level and on a microscopic one, too,
he says. "That is where their energy lies and I think it hit
a chord in the late '50s and early '60s. It took right off."
In 1959, he received his first Canada Council grant and the family,
which now numbered several children, packed up and went to London,
where he studied at the Royal College of Art. There, he met the
British sculptor Henry Moore and visited him at his studio. Influenced
by Mr. Moore, he began experimenting with figurative work.
Shortly after returning from England, Mr.
GLADSTONE became involved
in Toronto '61, a collective show organized by his younger brothers
Joseph and David. Joseph, who is now a retired elementary school
principal, was heading out to Vancouver to teach. He and his
brothers went around to all of their brother's artist Friends
and collected three or four pieces of art from each of them on
consignment. They boxed the works, shipped them to Vancouver,
held a show and then shipped the work of a number of Vancouver
artists back to Toronto.
After studying in New York on another Canada Council grant and
achieving modest success through a couple of galleries, Mr.
GLADSTONE
moved back to Canada. He was part of the opening exhibition for
The Isaacs Gallery when it moved to its new premises on Yonge
Street in 1961, but he and the gallery soon parted company. "He
was a ballsy guy -- feisty is the word," says dealer Av
ISAACS,
who represented Mr.
GLADSTONE for about a decade.
Although he thinks Mr.
GLADSTONE did some interesting work, he
says he "was a very pushy guy and I just didn't need it."
He was the only artist to net three commissions for Expo 67 in
Montreal. He created Uki, the 12-metre, fire-spewing mechanical
dragon that haunted a lagoon for the Canadian government, a space
column for the Engineer's Plaza and a towering fountain for the
amusement park at La Ronde. His commissions amounted to about
$250,000, but expenses gobbled up most of it, leaving him with
about $35,000, some of which he plowed back into his work --
although he did allow himself the purchase of a black Steinway
grand piano.
He was so hot in 1967 that he told the late journalist Blaik
Kirby in The Globe that the price of his sculptures had doubled
in the previous two years. "People say I'm so lucky, but they
forget that for 20 years I invested more money than I made in
my work," the artist said. "I believed I was an artist when no
one else did, except a few close Friends."
Only three years later, he was penniless again, complaining that
Canada didn't understand him and that the Canada Council was
shunning him. Still, he had an exhibition of his plastic cubes
(many of them borrowed from private collections), and his Downtown
Nudes, a poetic calligraphy of weaving lines on raw canvas, as
the opening exhibition at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts
in downtown Toronto.
From his home in Victoria, Mavor Moore, then general director
of the centre, remembers choosing Mr.
GLADSTONE because "he had
worldwide dreams and the technical skills to realize them, and
at the time my colleagues and I thought his works would give
the launch an exciting cachet. But he managed to alienate many
of his more nationalistic fellow Canadian artists, and the sole
1970 anecdote I recall is Harold Town's immortal summation of
the exhibit: 'Gerry
GLADSTONE is the only sculptor in the world
who can weld shit.' "
And then, this artist who had shot as brightly as a comet through
the Canadian art scene for a decade, burned out. He still had
commissions, but he was no longer a force. Among them were the
Three Graces, a fountain and bronze sculptures for the Ontario
government buildings at Bay and Wellesley streets in Toronto,
Female Landscape, a fountain and bronze sculpture for Place Ville
Marie in Montreal, a fountain and precast concrete sculpture
for a Martin Luther King memorial in California, and a fountain
and sculpture in Canberra for the government of Australia. He
made a six-metre sculpture called Universal Man to stand in front
of the C.N. Tower, but it was damaged when the Sky Dome was built
and found a new home in a parking lot at Yorkdale Mall in the
north end of the city.
He had to hustle because he had only his art to support his wife
and six children. But there were other factors. He moved from
gallery to gallery, having arguments with artists and dealers
and even the Canada Council. He also changed styles, moving away
from his early constructivist welded sculptures to embrace painting
and figurative work. In the process, he seemed to lose his vocabulary
and his energy. Artist Gordon Rayner admired the early steel
sculptures, but he thought his paintings were really like graphic
sketches for sculptures and he didn't much fancy his figurative
sculpture.
Dennis REID, chief curator at the Art Gallery of Ontario, thinks
he didn't survive the change in art that happened in the 1970s.
"We all talk about the death of painting, but it was also the
death of any kind of figuration in sculpture, by and large for
that period of time, and the rise of conceptual and performance
art.
By the late 1970s, he had left his wife and begun a new relationship.
With his new partner, Lorraine, he moved to Vancouver hoping
to win commissions at Expo 86, and eventually returned to Ontario
where they settled in Beaverton in the early 1990s. He continued
to make art, although now he was working mainly with smaller
pieces. The Art Gallery of Ontario gave him a small retrospective
in late 2003, linking his current work with his early monumental
sculptures and his plastic cubes. By then, he had been diagnosed
with a rare form of leukemia. Earlier this winter, his spleen
became dangerously enlarged and he went into hospital for surgery.
He died on Monday morning.
Gerald GLADSTONE was born on January 7, 1929. He died of leukemia
on March 7. He was 76. He is survived by his second wife, Lorraine,
six children from his first wife, and several brothers and a
sister.
