Out of the city, into the woods Author Heather O'Neill and musician Kevin Quain collaborate at Dunedin Literary Festival by Trina Berlo Heather O’Neill is bringing her bigcity stories to the country. She is the top-billed author of the Dunedin Literary Festival and will be featured in the evening’s Words and Music event. O’Neill will bring the words and Kevin Quain will provide

O’Neill plans to read from three novels Lullabies for Little Criminals, The Girl Who Was Saturday Night and her most recent novel, The Lonely Hearts Hotel, which tells the beautiful and tragic story of two orphans making their way in the world. Both performers, Pierrot is a gifted piano player and Rose has a knack for spotting talent in others. With his cabaret noir style, Quain has a sound that would be suited to one of the Montreal nightclubs of the 1930s featured in the book, perhaps

These incidents occurred at a private residence in Clearview Township when the victims were teenagers. John Bain, 68, of Toronto is facing three counts of Gross I n d e c e n c y, three counts of Indecent Assault as well as one count of Sexual Assault. John Bain He was arrested on August 2 and held for bail court on that date at the Ontario Court of Justice in Barrie.

Variety of authors featured at Dunedin Literary Festival (Continued from page 1) collaboration, O’Neill said she was drawn to Quain’s music because they share a Bohemian, down-and-out but with a joie-de-vivre sensibility. “Whenever I write historical stuff it’s always a little bit ahistorical so it’s the modern world but seen through a metaphor of old art forms, which I think Kevin does also,” she said. O’Neill is able to write colourful stories full of wonderment against a backdrop of poverty and dysfunction. She often writes about motherless children, addiction and abuse. She is very open about her own childhood, growing up with a single dad, her mother having run off when O’Neill was seven. “I know there are some writers who like to make their personal life and their fiction completely distinct but for me, my personal life in the way it informs fiction is really important. Part of my novels and part of my writing has been to be incredibly open about things that I’ve gone through and the world that I come from,” O’Neill said. “It gives me a lot of joy to be able to be open about this stuff. For me anyways, being an author there is a certain level of transparency to it’s the only way I could exist as an artist in the world was to have no secrets and

to be completely open. It is sort of the nature of who I am.” O’Neill said she writes from the world of her childhood and while her novels are not autobiographical they contain elements of her, especially within the female characters. “Even though The Lonely Hearts Hotel takes place in the thirties, Rose is very reflective of a philosophy I had developed coming into the world as a woman, whereas Baby (Lullabies for Little Criminals) represented who I was as a child,” said O’Neill… “I am always surprised by all of them when I create them. Even when I finished with Rose I was like, ‘Oh my God,

I didn’t realize how much rage there was inside of me’.” The Girl Who Was Saturday Night and the short story collection Daydreams of Angels were shortlisted for the Giller Prize. This year the author was selected as a juror. “I learned a lot about literature just from the other judges. It was like being part of this psychotic book club, where we read like 20 books a week and then get together and argue viciously about what is good literature,” said O’Neill.

Opinion editorial

Stayner deserves a beautiful people-friendly downtown Stayner is embracing its past while looking to the future. A downtown revitalization project aims to reveal the character of the heritage buildings that line the main street while finding creative ways to make the space more appealing to residents and visitors. Meanwhile, local people say they just want to be able to cross the darn street. Whenever people talk about downtown Stayner, an overwhelming majority say the concern is traffic and a lack of pedestrian crossings. This has been a big complaint for more than two decades. The community is often heard saying they want more parking downtown and more opportunities to cross the street. What we hear from staff and the landscape architect hired to create a design plan, is that slowing traffic on Highway 26 through Stayner, reducing traffic and making more pedestrian friendly sidewalks, walkways and connecting trails will bring more people downtown. The fear, perhaps in Creemore too, is that people won’t come if they can’t park directly in front of the store they want to visit. There are places where no cars are allowed and it is shocking the number of people who flock there. The goal of revitalizing Stayner is a lofty one but if done well, it will be very rewarding in the long term. Stayner deserves to have a beautiful main street lined with healthy businesses and happy customers. And good on council and staff for holding a public meeting Wednesday evening to hear comments from the community. People seem to embrace the general concept (which includes new sidewalk pavers, light standards and general improvements to the main street and the development of the area between main street and town hall, as well as the area near Station Park, possibly with a splash pad that could double as a skating rink in the winter, a fountain, stage, market square and picnic pavilion) but they are waiting on costs and how the whole plan will roll out. With a little urging from Councillor Thom Paterson, it was agreed that the next public consultation session would be widely publicized and communicated to the whole of Clearview, seeing as the entire project is to be funded by taxpayers. Barring of course, as Stayner resident Larry Culham pointed out Wednesday the provincial and/or federal governments open up the coffers and let the money flow.

The Way We Were

Crawford Funeral Home as seen in the 1978 panorama of Mill Street, photographed by John Wiggins.

Caught between two worlds by Basil Guinane “There’s no there there,” Gertrude Stein said about her hometown Oakland, California. Today that phrase is often applied to a person or place that has no distinctive identity. By borrowing the last two words of the quotation as the title of his new novel, native American writer Tommy Orange is out to show that on the contrary, contemporary, urban native Americans, are very much ‘there” after all. Yet, as they prepare to converge on a traditional powwow being held in Oakland, each of the 12 characters in There There (Alfred A. Knopf, 2018) is in the same predicament, caught between two worlds, struggling to reconcile their traditional culture with their modern lives. “Urban Indians,” observes the narrator, “feel at home walking in the shadow of a downtown building. We came to know the downtown Oakland skyline better than we did any sacred mountain range, the redwoods in the Oakland hills better than any deep wild forest.” Orange, who is a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes of Oklahoma, in a recent interview said, that he wrote the novel because, “you already find Native people in fiction, but there aren’t many representations of us as modern, contemporary and living in cities.” A traditional powwow, held at the Oakland Coliseum is the setting for the coming together of both worlds. As the book’s narrator says “…there aren’t many places we get to be all together, where we get to see and hear each other.”

Book Review

Orvil Red Feather, is going to the powwow so he can take part in a traditional dance ceremony that he has learned by watching YouTube videos. Blue is hoping to find the mother she has never met. Edwin Black is helping to organize the powwow as a means of overcoming his video addiction and anxiety. Each is confronting a very contemporary issue in a very traditional setting. The novel begins and ends with Tony Loneman. Full of rage, Tony is seeking revenge for what he refers to as his curse: “the drome,” short for fetal alcohol syndrome, “Maybe I’m’a do something one day, and everybody’s gonna know about me. Maybe that’s when they’ll finally look at me, because they’ll have to.” Although he wears traditional native costume to the powwow, Tony is armed with a gun made with a 3-D printer. He is going as a member of a street gang intent on robbing the event. This planned heist adds tension and a compelling twist to the novel. Throughout the novel, Orange offers observations about the historical injustices suffered by first nations people such as the real origins of Thanksgiving and the Indian Relocation Act. As the narrator reflects, “If you were fortunate enough to be born into a family whose ancestors directly benefited from genocide and/ or slavery, maybe you think the more you don’t know, the more innocent you can be.” This is a powerful novel that tells the story of a people trying to reconcile the past with the present.

Tutankhamun and the Petun by Charles Garrad Separated as they are by over 9,000 km of distance and several thousand years of time, there cannot possibly be any connection between the Pharaoh Tutankhamun who lived in 1332 BC and the Petun Indians of Ontario who lived in the Blue Mountains ca. 1575 to 1650 AD. In 1923, William J. Wintemberg, archaeologist for the Victoria Memorial Museum in Ottawa, arrived in the village of Creemore at the edge of the Niagara Escarpment and the Petun country. He took up residence in the village’s most luxurious and therefor, likely the most expensive hotel, The Sovereign Hotel. From there he conducted what seems to have been a leisurely archaeological survey of Petun country. It is said that he spent 10 whole days in the Collingwood Museum, then housed in the basement of the Carnegie library, examining the artifacts collected by the Huron Institute. After he was finished with the Petun country, he did not return to Ottawa immediately but moved further west on to the Meaford Tank Range. There he was handicapped by the lack of residents to inform him of any archaeological remains and he even tracked some of them down to enquire if when they were removed they took some of the artifacts with them. But

In 1923, William J. Wintemberg, archaeologist for the Victoria Memorial Museum in Ottawa, lodged in the village’s most luxurious hotel, The Sovereign, while doing an archaeological survey of Petun country. by this time, it didn’t seem to matter. Whatever the reason that the museum had for conducting an archaeological survey of the Petun country no longer seemed to apply. So the big question remains: Why? Grateful as we, later Petun researchers, are that the work was done, there seems no logical reason why the museum would take a sudden and expensive interest in the Petun in 1923 especially as money appeared to be no object. Certainly there was a huge contrast with Wintemberg’s next visit to the

Creemore in 1926 to excavate the Sidey-Mackay site. In 1926, his accommodation was a tent and his sanitation a bucket. The museum policy had returned to frugality. It took little interest what he was currently doing and routinely forwarded artifacts to other museums and did not even plan to publish a report. (Fortunately, this was done posthumously by a colleague). It is as if Wintemberg was being punished for some perceived failure in 1923. What could this possibly have been? I searched for a possible reason for

the change in attitude by the museum and the reason for the survey but could find no answer. Then I realized that in November of the previous year (1922) the English archaeologist Howard C. Carter had discovered the long lost tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Could this possibly have motivated the archaeological establishment in other countries to try to find something equally eye catching or headline making? I did not pursue this line of thinking further. In the 1970s, I asked the National Museum Archaeologist, Dr. James V. Wright, for his opinion. He was adamant that the archaeological policy of the National Museum of Canada couldn’t possibly be influenced by events in another country. I agreed with him. Several decades later, I found myself standing in the burial chamber of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings during an Ontario Archeological Society trip to Egypt. I looked down on the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus which still contained his mummified body and to my surprise I found my lips moving, “Thank you for your help with the Petun.” If I have seen events correctly it is entirely as result of the Pharaoh’s discovery in late 1922 that the Petun was surveyed in 1923.

The two scholarship recipients were chosen from the four interviewed finalists. Ray’s Place is pleased to be able to support Sacerty and Hinchey as they continue their education. We are confident they will grow and thrive in their chosen programs. We thank the generosity of the many donors who have made it possible for us to continue to support a total of 10 university students in their studies. The recipients are chosen based upon several criteria including financial need, academic achievement, personal commitment to saving for university, community involvement, leadership at school, two letters of reference, and an essay describing their academic journey to-date and their motivation for pursuing a university degree.

Digging up the past at the jail

by Trina Berlo Using metal detectors, treasure hunters Jacquie Rushlow and Jonny Craig unearthed a few items of interest around the old jail this week. The best find was a toy cannon made of brass. Rushlow said she is attempting to date the item, believing it could be made as far back as the 1700s. They also found an 1899 large cent coin, lots of square head nails, a primitive axe head, and the top plate from a Parisian Warrior woodstove, which could have been the jail’s original wood stove. Rushlow and Craig met working in production on a television show (Craig as a camera operator and Rushlow a director) when they travelled to southern Unites States looking for under priced/unknown treasures at yard sales. “We soon realized we shared the same passion for history. Jonny went to Belgium that summer and started to detect there with a friend and when he got home with a detector in hand, I was sold. We’ve got amazing collections ranging from bullets, to coins to really cool artefacts like jewellery, WW1

They both relocated away from Toronto with their spouses – Craig moved to Walters Falls and Rushlow moved to the Creemore area.

The metal detecting duo plans to continue the search. Anything they find on site will be displayed at the Creemore Log Cabin, which is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. until Thanksgiving.

Mansfield sweeps Ivy for second junior title by Scott Anderson Mansfield Cubs won their second straight junior championship in the North Dufferin Baseball League on Thursday defeating the Ivy Blues in three games. The best-of-five series started Aug. 19 and was plagued by rain and unplayable field conditions throughout with three dates being washed out. Mansfield won the first game 11-3, picked up an 11-0 victory in game two on Aug. 20, and defeated Ivy 8-4

in the third and final game for the title. In the final game, Mansfield got on the board early scoring two runs in the first inning. Ivy answered with a lone run in the second frame and plated three more in the third to take the lead. Mansfield scored five runs in their half of the sixth inning to regain the lead. The game was called due to darkness in the bottom of the seventh, ending with the score at the end of six, 8-4.

Mansfield hits went to Kashtin Winchester, Laird Blanchard, Jordan Metz, and two each from Jake Currie and Jeff Christman. Josh Johnston hit a double. Mitch Tucker, Tyler Huitema, Riley Stewart, and Thomas Barnes singled for the Blues with Ryan Barr and Daniel Miller chipping in with two each. Currie started for the Cubs pitching 2 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on three hits, one walk and hit two batters.

He struck out one Ivy batter. Johnston finished the game pitching 3 2/3 innings. He allowed no runs, gave up five hits while striking out three. Barr toed the rubber for Blues and over his six innings, allowed eight runs on eight hits, six walks, hit one batter and struck out six. In a post-game presentation, league secretary and junior division convenor Scott Anderson, presented the Anderson Trophy to coach Dave Metz of the Cubs.
