Tom Cochrane: Humboldt players ‘off to immortality in the big leagues’

inger-songwriter Tom Cochrane knows Canadian people, understands their hopes and dreams and, most significantly, knows how small towns are defined in the face of tragedy. “Like most Canadians, I was shocked People and depressed when I heard about the tragedy of the Humboldt bus accident because junior hockey defines what is best in Canada’s small communities,” he said. “The loss of those individuals hit us so hard because it was close to home and hockey is the essence of who we are and who we were.” There were 16 members of the Bronco family who lost their lives on April 6, when the bus carrying Humboldt to a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoff game was in collision with a semi-trailer truck at a highway intersection about 30 kilometres from Tisdale. Cochrane has ridden the buses — first as a boy from Lynn Lake in the far north of Manitoba to Winnipeg and later, as the entertainer in the earliest years of a career which has extended to more than 35 years. Cochrane and his band, Red Rider, are

Tom Cochrane will be the headliner at the SaskTel Jazz Festival on June 23. (James Bennett Photo) coming back to the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival on June 23 as headliners on the TD mainstage in the Bessborough Gardens. Because Cochrane had once written a hockey song, Big League, he was immediately drawn into the spotlight after the Humboldt accident. “The song resonated instinctively with

the feelings after the bus crash. James Duthie called me from TSN and asked if they could use my song on a hockey telecast. I said I’d have to know that the use of the song was acceptable to the Humboldt parents. James said he’d been on the ground at Humboldt and they welcomed the idea. In five minutes, I rewrote one of the verses.”

His reworked verse, which placed a stronger emphasis on the unpredictability of life, read like this: “All the right moves when he turned 18, ridin’ into the game and ridin’ with his team, ridin’ with their friends and ridin’ for their dreams, ridin’ off to immortality in the big leagues.” (Continued on page 13)

SASKATOONEXPRESS - June 18-24, 2018 - Page 3

Dark family secret brought to light in new book Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express indsay Wincherauk was five years old when his three older brothers locked him out of the house and chanted from inside, “you’re not one of us.” At the time he thought little of it. He was the youngest of seven children. His sisters weren’t — and this is an understatement — kind to him either. “You think they are really shitty brothers and sisters at the time, but when you find out the truth, ‘Oh, OK these lights are coming on now,’” he said. Wincherauk has shared his life story — up until 2006, that is — in a recentlyreleased book titled Driving In Reverse: The Life I Almost Missed. Wincherauk was 43 when he discovered his family’s deep dark secret. He was going through a bad time — a relationship ended, there were four family deaths and a friend died. These all happened within a few months. “My life was spinning out of control so I decided I was going to escape my reality and go to Europe. In the process of going to Europe I discovered I had to renew my passport.” He needed his birth certificate as part of the process. His had a tear in it, so he had to have it replaced. He contacted the Vital Statistics Department in Alberta. Wincherauk was born in Edmonton on July 16, 1960 and grew up in Saskatoon. The 57-year-old spent most of the first 30 years of his life here. Some will remember him as a quarterback for the Saskatoon Hilltops and University of Saskatchewan Huskies in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “I was supposed to get the birth certificate in two days expedited and two weeks went by with nothing sent to me. I phoned vital stats and asked them ‘what’s the holdup?’ They said, ‘We can’t issue you a new birth certificate.’” Wincherauk was told his information didn’t match the records. “I said, ‘well what can I help you with?’ And they said, ‘Could you phone your parents and ask them who your real parents are?’” Wincherauk was shocked. “Who your real parents are?” “Well, I had watched both my parents (Rebekah and Nicholas) die in Saskatoon in the mid-’80s. I spent six years going to the hospital watching my father battle cancer and then he passed away on the day after my 25th birthday. “For the next two years I watched my mother get attacked by cancer and she passed away just before Christmas in 1987.” TA061808 Now a civilTammy servant in Alberta was

asking him to find out who his real parents are? He didn’t want to ask family members. They weren’t on speaking terms. He was able to convince an Alberta Vital Statistics manager who he was and he was given a passport. “I was the product of a deep dark family secret, the shame of the community,” he said in an interview from Vancouver, where he has lived since 1990. “I found out my actual mother was my oldest sister (Bernice). She had hung out in the background of my life playing the role of the oldest sister, but she played it with a little bit of venom. “She always told me I would be a miserable failure and wouldn’t amount to much and not as good as the rest of the family and so on and so forth.” His brothers and sisters were his aunts and uncles and his parents were his grandmother and grandfather. His father/grandfather was 56 when Wincherauk was born and his mother/grandmother 46. “It wasn’t a great upbringing but I didn’t know any different. I was a secret, so it wasn’t something like ‘yeah, why are my parents so old?’ It struck me as really odd but nobody told me any different.” He said a person needs a flip chart to follow his family relationships. Wincherauk was born in Beulah Home in Edmonton. It was a place unwed mothers went to have their babies. “There was a time period, where, whether it was a church or society, if you were having a child out of wedlock you were the shame of the community.” He said discovering the circumstances of his birth helped him understand what had happened. “I don’t know what she went through. I can’t be angry. She had me when she was 23 so maybe she should have known better, but the way things were she was forced to go to this secret place.” It was assumed that Lindsay would be put up for adoption. Bernice cried, begged and pleaded for the family to keep her baby. And the secret took shape. Bernice had moved to Calgary during his childhood. Wincherauk stayed with her for a night in 1990. He had packed his Acura Integra with his possessions and was leaving Saskatoon. After a night on her sofa bed in Calgary, he left for Vancouver. It would be the last time he saw Bernice as his sister. He went to see Bernice two years ago. “One of my nieces — who is really a cousin — sent me a picture of my mother and said she wasn’t doing well. The time was up for her, so I flew to Calgary. I hadn’t spoken to her in 26 years and I went to her hospital and said hello to her as my mother

Lindsay Wincherauk once played quarterback for the Saskatoon Hilltops and University of Saskatchewan Huskies. (Photo Supplied) for the first time. “I tried to give her a little bit of peace and said ‘I’m OK,’ and whatever society did to families back then I am sorry that that happened. It wasn’t really for me — I shouldn’t be that way. I was for me but it didn’t turn out great. “She seemed happy and content, but instead of coming to peace, she had to vent about how some family members had done her wrong over the years. It was stuff I really didn’t want to hear because during the process I had come to a place where I’m OK. I’m going to have this with me forever, but I’m OK.” He also found in Calgary the man who was listed as his father. “He came out to Vancouver in 2006 to visit me. He was really apologetic and so sorry for what the adults had done. We went and had a DNA test done and two weeks later I had to phone him and tell him he wasn’t my father. My mother had lied on the birth record.” He doesn’t know who is biological father is. Wincherauk has written a book previously and has done opinion pieces for a publication called 24 Hours Vancouver. Telling the story of the first 46 years of his life happened almost by accident. He was working on another book when he went to a sell-your-story event in 2006. At the event, people had the chance to pitch an idea to publishers. The room had about 300 would-be authors in it. Wincherauk and a friend — Wes Raddysh — were sitting in the front row when the publishers announced that they had time for two more presentations.

Raddysh thrusted Wincherauk’s arm into the air. Arms shot up from around the room. The judges narrowed the group by asking for those with a name starting with the letter L. Again, Raddysh lifted Wincherauk’s arm. Wincherauk was picked to make a pitch. He had nothing prepared but he’d always been a pretty smooth talker. Besides, he had quite a story to tell. “I wasn’t planning to write the book and a couple of publishers said ‘you know what; you need to write this.’ Submit it to us with the line ‘phone your parents and ask them who your real parents are’ and we’ll take a serious look at it.

Everyone “belongs in the picture”

(Continued from page 3) “I cranked it out in about two weeks, thought it was a literary masterpiece, sent it in and was politely rejected. From the two weeks when I wrote it to publication took 12 years, so there is a real story of perseverance there and never giving up.” He said life has taken him down many dark paths. Most involved drugs. Even in his 40s, he was a regular in the after-hours nightclub scene. He laughed when he said with his shaved head he looked very much like an undercover cop. He was always able to score ecstasy though. He describes the book as complex, thoughtful, thought-provoking, inspirational and hysterical. It is much more than the story of his family history, although that inspired the book. DS061802 Dan

Wincherauk said the cover summarizes the book and his life. “I’m the little boy on the cover and I’m trying to climb into the picture and for whatever reason I don’t quite belong. A bit of the mystery is I am wearing the blue shorts and my real mother is carrying the blue T-shirt, but they are all walking away from me. I don’t know why I don’t belong but I am trying to be part of the picture. “When all those tragedies happened that one year, it caused me to dive back into my life and start to put the pieces and little secrets together and go through the good and the bad. At the end of the book, I am the person I am today. I survived it and I don’t blame anybody. “There is some sad stuff because my family doesn’t talk to me, but that’s just sad;

Shakespeare festival fundraising for year-round structure

Kathy Fitzpatrick Saskatoon Express very spring, setting up for the annual Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan theatre festival is an arduous multiweek task. Artistic producer Will Brooks hopes to whittle that down to mere days. It’s just one of the benefits of a project to build permanent structures, in a complete site redevelopment. The festival launches its $3-million capital fundraising campaign this week. “What we’ve done is from the ground up … (designed) the space the way we would if we didn’t have to tear it apart and redo it every year,” Brooks explained. A concrete amphitheatre with built-in seating, stage and electrical will become the new base for the festival main tent. Two Tudor-style pavilions will also be built, replacing the current box office and dressing room, but kept “as multipurpose as possible.” Insulation and

electric heating will make them suitable as winter-time warmup or event space. The site will integrate with riverside trails the Meewasin Valley Authority is redesigning, forming a seamless arc from the Children’s Discovery Museum through to the University Bridge. “This is going to complete a really great corridor of riverbank beautification,” Brooks said. What is now a seasonal, exclusive venue will become year-round and available for rental to outside groups. “It’s always been a shame that at the end of the year we just have to throw a padlock on the ugly chain-link fence and keep everybody out for the rest of the year,” he explained. Brooks sees potential for established events such as the Children’s Festival and Jazz Festival to make use of the site, and for the addition of new programming – concerts, ceremonies and sporting events, for example.

Dear Lianne, Well, I’m terrified. I’m 62, widowed and would really like to be in a wonderful loving relationship but I’m scared. I don’t know how to date in 2018. My daughter set up an online dating profile and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. I’m looking for a quality man who sees me for more than my looks and my pocketbook. I’m very fit, active, youthful, busy but terribly

Artistic producer Will Brooks says by the spring of 2020 he won’t have to wield a power drill to help set up the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival site. A $3-million fundraising campaign to build permanent structures is launching this week. (Photo by Kathy Fitzpatrick) Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan is also looking to the City of Saskatoon to winterize and expand the nearby public washrooms, and improve both wheelchair accessibility to the site and parking in the area. For pretty much all of the festival’s 34 years, a permanent site like this has been the dream. But Brooks says it wasn’t until the organization reached a more stable footing in recent years that it could pursue the project more seriously. It could even spur fresh creativity. “Screwing together wood platforms for weeks on end” is “not the best education” for up-and-coming theatre designers and technicians.

FINDING LOVE AGAIN

lonely. I would love some hints and encouragement that there are still some good men out there. I have so much love to give the right man. – Collette Dear Collette, Finding love again is a beautiful experience coupled with potential frustration, doubt, and emotional roller coasters. As a matchmaker who has facilitated and witnessed thousands of my clients falling in love over the past 25 years, I can assure you it is so worth

it. Our electronically governed society has included dating as another one of it’s conveniences. I cringe at what I see with online dating. At Camelot Introductions our clients have each been personally interviewed by me. They come to us because they are serious about finding one special person. I create a profile featuring detailed information about each client. We do a criminal record check on each member and work with only those who are looking for one special person

They could better use that time building sets and making costumes. Previews for school audiences in June are another possibility, he adds. “You have no idea how many teachers have phoned up and said ‘Is there a way I can bring my class to Hamlet?’” Brooks says the vision of a multi-use site “really ups the passion for everybody.” He believes it will prompt potential donors to “jump on board faster.” He hopes to announce some major contributions over the course of the summer. He expects to see shovels in the ground by the fall of 2019, and the project completed by the spring of 2020.

rather than the typical online serial daters. Our clients pay for our membership which starts at 800.00. We offer dating suggestions and handpick potential matches for our clients one by one. Patience most certainly is needed when you embark on the search for love. When you work with a good matchmaker it is all about quality not quantity! I would be happy to speak with you.

SJO to reimagine Ellington’s repertoire during jazz festival

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express he Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra (SJO) will launch its new season during an upcoming SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival performance that will pay tribute to music legend Duke Ellington. The SJO began five years ago as the brainchild of jazz trumpeter Dean McNeill. The jazz orchestra is committed to presenting the highest-calibre professional-grade large jazz ensemble music through its programming and by featuring local, national and international talent. “If there is one word to describe what the SJO is trying to do, I would say it is ‘reimagine,’ ” said McNeill, the SJO’s founder and artistic director. “It’s what artists do. We’re trying to re-imagine that which came before us in reference to the large jazz ensemble. So we might play some music by Buddy Rich or Duke Ellington or whoever, and then we might play something totally new,” said McNeill, who is also a professor of brass and jazz at the University of Saskatchewan and a member of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. “Basically the way art works, in my opinion, is people do things; they create a body of work. And then the next generation comes and they either continue to build upon that legacy or they react against it. . . . It’s OK for us to do kind of both; a little bit of both.” On June 24 at 8 p.m., the SJO and special guests will take to the stage at the Broadway Theatre to present a concert called Ellington Reimagined. Ellington, an American pianist and jazz orchestra bandleader, is considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century. He has more than 2,000 compositions to his name — ranging from pop and jazz to opera and operetta. “He’s just a fascinating, fascinating figure. He’s a favourite of mine. We’ve done a lot of Ellington,” said McNeill. “Why I think he’s such a good fit for the brand of the SJO is he spent his entire career on the road — his entire life travelling. He was always, as an opportunist, looking for new ways of doing things. He took Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker and did a jazz version of it. He took Peer Gynt, a classical suite, and did a jazz version of it. He wrote his own music. He was commissioned by the Stratford Festival, which is a

Shakespeare festival. So he wrote a piece of music called Such Sweet Thunder and every movement is inspired by a different excerpt from Shakespeare.” The SJO concert will both recapture and reimagine some of Ellington’s most iconic repertoire. The SJO will be joined by Juno Award-winning musicians Kellylee Evans (vocals), Mike Rud (guitar), Al Kay (trombone) and Ted Warren (drums), as well as Jeff Presslaff (piano), Soren Nissen (bass), longtime Ellington band member Brad Shigeta and Ross Ulmer, the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival’s 2018 Special Recognition recipient. McNeill will also perform. He wears a number of hats as a Saskatoon musician and professor, with one of them running the TD Jazz Intensive — a student workshop that takes place within the annual jazz festival. Some of the faculty who are coming to Saskatoon as part of the week-long workshop will also be joining the SJO for its performance. “They’re just absolutely world-class Canadian musicians, of which about half the SJO will be comprised of. So there’ll be some very special things,” McNeill said of the upcoming show. “We’ll also feature a gentleman named Brad Shigeta, who was a member of Duke Ellington’s band. He played in the band and he was the librarian for the band for many years — so he’s a wealth of knowledge. So (audience members) will be able to expect a few special stories.” McNeill describes the SJO as an integral part of his ongoing research and artistic exploration, and he also believes in supporting the growth and development of the next generation of musicians. For example, the SJO often invites U of S Jazz Ensemble students to take part during SJO rehearsals and at selected concerts. In January 2017, the SJO launched the Saskatoon Youth Jazz Orchestra (SYJO), an auditioned ensemble directed by secondary music educator Nick Fanner, for students ages 14-21. While there are many die-hard jazz fans in Saskatoon and in Saskatchewan, McNeill also believes “lots of people don’t like jazz because of what they think jazz is.” The SJO is trying to change those perceptions and offer something for everyone at its concerts. “Part of my job is not to alienate people, but it’s to bring people together,” he said. Tickets for the June 24 SJO show can be purchased online at saskjazz.com.

(Continued from page 8) but will rather be the entire local two-spirit community. Also on June 23, there will the Gurls Ladies’ Night at Drift from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. To close the festival, the ages 19+ Detox Pool Party will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on June 24 at the Hilton Garden Inn. For more information, go to saskatoonpride.ca. ***** Amidst the excitement of festival season, you may also want to take some time to check out Remai Modern’s latest exhibitions. One of the shows, called echoes, debuts recent acquisitions by four of Canada’s leading Indigenous artists: Rebecca Belmore, Lori Blondeau, Raymond Boisjoly and Duane Linklater. Remai Modern describes echoes — which runs until Oct. 14 — as including “lens-based works” that “make layered references to history, tradition and contemporary culture, each asserting a strong presence while resisting a totalizing gaze.” “Reverberations of loss and recuperation are expressed in everyday gestures or in symbols that serve as a reminder of collective values,” the museum states. “Through their respective works, each artist claims

space for imagining a multitude of ways of being — insisting on the complexity of authorship and authenticity.” Saskatonians may perhaps be most familiar with the work of Blondeau, a performance artist and curator based in this city who completed her master’s degree in fine arts at the University of Saskatchewan. Her work is known for challenging stereotypes of Indigneous women. Through her irreverent performance personas such as COSMOSQUAW, Betty Daybird, the Lonely Surfer Squaw and Belle Sauvage, for example, she takes “an ironic view of cultural stereotypes, resisting, displacing and negating them through satire and role reversal,” according to Remai Modern. On June 26 at 7 p.m., members of the public can take part in an exhibition tour of echoes with curator Sandra Fraser, a Remai Modern employee who previously worked at the Mendel Art Gallery and at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ont. Fraser will provide insight into the individual works included in echoes as well as into the dialogue they create together. The event is free with admission or a Remai Modern membership and no registration is required. For more information, go to remaimodern.org.

Saskatoon boxer raising money for opponent’s son Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ary Kopas knows he can’t change the past, but he can help prepare a boy for the future. Kopas, a Saskatoon boxer, fought David Whittom on May 27, 2017 in Fredericton, N.B. Hours after the fight, Whittom had surgery for a brain hemorrhage, and was placed in a coma. He died in March, leaving behind his young son, Zack. Kopas and family, friends and members of the Saskatoon boxing community held a fundraising event for Whittom’s son last week. The event raised almost $5,000 which has been put into a trust fund. Donations can also be made to a GoFundMe page: RIP David. So far, approximately $4,000 has been raised. “When he passed I learned he had a son,” said Kopas. “Being a father of two boys it breaks my heart knowing that Zack is going to grow up without his father. I wanted to do something to show a little bit of support. “When he turns 18 maybe he is going to go to school or whatever and it can help him out.” Kopas said learning of Whittom’s death AS061804 Aaron was difficult. He has received a lot of sup-

port and has been told “millions of times” that it wasn’t his fault. Whittom, who turned 39 while in the coma, and Kopas were fighting for the Canadian cruiserweight championship. In the 10th round, Whittom slumped against the ropes after taking a number of head shots from Kopas. On a video, Kopas can be seen in the background celebrating his victory and looked surprised when the referee motioned for the fight to continue. A voice can be heard on a video saying, “he’s done.” Kopas hit Whittom with one more right hand before the referee stepped in and stopped the fight. Whittom had fought professionally 37 times, losing 18 of his last 20 bouts. “He really looked in trouble,” Kopas told CBC in the days after the fight. “I was really surprised that the referee kept it going. I was mad but at the same time I was obviously pumped. “I wanted to win there, but at the same time, I didn’t want to hit him again either. Obviously, everybody wants to knock their opponents out, but you want them to wake up right away and be fine.” Kopas respectfully said he no longer wants to talk in the media about the fight.

ternational title last November with a win over a boxer from France and also won a bout against a fighter from Mexico. He will be putting his cruiserweight title on the line in October in Halifax. Kopas said returning to the ring wasn’t as difficult as people might think. “When I am in the ring all the problems disappear. All your life problems are gone away. It is like a place of calmness, where (boxers) go for inner peace. That’s where I go and I’m sure David did too.” Kopas is hoping people will be generous and support Zack. “One hundred per cent of the money is going to go to Zack. Thanks for taking time to help out. Any amount is so appreciated,” he wrote on the RIP David GoFundMe page.

Whittom showered — he complained the water was cold, his trainer said — and watched a couple of fights before being driven to his mother’s house. When he began experiencing headaches and nausea, he was taken to a hospital. He underwent brain surgery and then was placed in a coma. He remained in the coma for the 10 months leading up to his death. The cause of death was listed as pneumonia. Officials at the fight have been absolved of any blame for allowing the fight to continue. “It was a war,” said Brandon Brewer, organizer of the night’s event told CBC. “It was a good fight back and forth.” Kopas has fought twice since winning the cruiserweight title.

Man. highway named for Cochrane

(Continued from page 1) Cochrane added, “the compassion and the empathy that came out in Canada were some things that were positive, showing just how resilient we are.” And then pausing, he said, “as we know, roads can be treacherous in Canada and if I may add a practical and political observation, roundabouts would be an effective tool on our highways.” The irony is that one of Cochrane’s greatest hits was Life Is a Highway and it was also meaningful in the summer of 2017 when the Manitoba government opened a stretch of highway between Lynn Lake and Thompson and named the 320-kilometre stretch in his honour. “I hadn’t been back to Lynn Lake a lot. There are still some characters around. There is a great presence by the elders. There were people without work, waiting for something to happen. But there remains a vibrant spirit, a powerful thing. I saw the old house where I grew up and it was being used as a bunk house for workers.” The other remarkable event of 2017 was a silver anniversary release of Mad Mad World 25, which came in two CDS. One was the original releases of the album, which included Life is a Highway. The other featured live 2017 performances of all the notable material. “I was thrilled the way Universal Music embraced the project. The timing was right, the energy was great and so were the vibrations of all who participated and came to concerts.” Cochrane’s career has been marked by 17 albums (the last of the newest being Take it Home in 2015), eight Juno awards, induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and being accepted into the Order of Canada and the Order of Manitoba. Away from the concert stage, Cochrane Aaron isAS061813 one of the most prolific givers of time

and energy to world-wide causes, admitting that, for instance, he has made 15 trips to various countries in Africa on behalf of World Vision. He said he likes to “acknowledge the value of the organizations I represent but in the end, it is the people on the ground in these countries that really do the heavy lifting.” Cochrane is excited to be coming back to Saskatoon where, just a year ago, he appeared in the Rock the River series. “I love the city, I love the beauty of the hotel and the river, and I know that people coming to concert will want to hear the stuff we’ve released over the years. I always say there are 11 songs, which are non-negotiable and essential to each night’s program.” Jazz Festival artistic director Kevin Tobin said “he and Tom’s people have been talking since January, he’s a Canadian icon and he fits what we want to do. The way I count, I think we have 55 per cent straight-ahead jazz, but you throw in world music and the blues, and we’re up to 90 per cent.” Tobin has a lot of surprises for his audiences. “Ghost-Not is a band I saw in Victoria last fall and they’re playing The Capitol on opening night. It’s a young band, highlevel musicians and a terrific collective. One of their musicians is MonoNeon, who was a bass player in Prince’s band,” said Tobin. The other early headliners include The Flaming Lips, high on production values, on June 22; Matt Anderson and the Bona Fide, returning favourites on June 24; and two first-timers, Kamasi Washington on June 25, and Bonobo on June 26. The festival runs from June 22 to July 1. The box office is located just inside the front doors of the Delta Bessborough.

executives how to push the “start’’ button. When the powwow started, there were only eight dancers from my reserve. The other seven, with me being the only adult, had practised for weeks. This would be the first time we would dance in public. The best part was seeing the pride on the faces of the parents and especially the grandparents. In the end, everything worked out. Last year more than 50 dancers represented my reserve. All this happened in four short years. This is something those dancers will carry on with their children and grandchildren. Cultural pride is growing and it is obvious because people, especially the youth, want to learn more and more about the songs and dances of the Cree Nation. Most of the elders on my reserve come from the residential schools. Somehow, through all the horrors they endured, they maintained the Cree language. However, the language was gradually being lost by our youth until renewed interest by the people to learn the language resulted in a Cree language class being started. People are now finding identity, which is something I believe in because it was through finding my identity that saved my life.

Along with my siblings, I was part of the “scooped’’ children. This was a government policy of adopting First Nations children and placing them all over the world. I ended up in so many homes I lost count. Once a social worker told me to tell people I was an Italian because I was going to an Italian home. Here I was, a pre-teen, trying to convince people I was an Italian, even though I spoke fluent Cree. For years I lost who I really was. The only time I “found’’ myself was at the bottom of a bottle or the tip of a syringe. It seemed every time I fell into the spiral of substance abuse I would run to the sacred teachings of my First Nations elders. Time and time again my life was saved by finding my cultural identity. This year, as part of National Indigenous Day, my reserve will once again host a traditional powwow. I can’t wait to once again see my dancers. Those original seven dancers are now grown and teaching the younger members of the Cree Nation. What started as a spark has grown into a fire. This fire is something that cannot be extinguished. Because the fire is within the heart and it will never be broken. All this started with eight dancers.

many a doctor in private medicine, he can really hurt you in the pocket. • Mike Tyson was in the stands at Philippe-Chatrier for the French Open women’s semis. He wondered if the tennis was played on Cassius Clay. • Gisele Bundchen told Vogue she doesn’t talk much to girlfriends of Tom Brady’s teammates, mostly because they’re much younger. Other than telling them to keep off her lawn. • Just wondering: If people on foot are called pedestrians, why aren’t people on bikes called pedalestrians? • Reuters reports the “new vuvuzelas” to act as noise-makers at Russia’s World Cup will be lozhkas — large wooden spoons. There’s a scoop. • There’s talk ex-Sixers GM Bryan Colangelo’s tweet scandal may scuttle his marriage to Barbara Bottini. Or as Disney’s Thumper might say: from twit-

terpated to Twitter-dissipated. • The speed limit at Ole Miss is 18 mph, the number ex-Rebels QB great Archie Manning wore. Southern Miss tried that to honour Brett Favre, but it took forever to go anywhere. • Taylor Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour will see her visit sporting venues around the world. As for why the tour refers to her reputation, check the schedule — lots of dates. • Happy Father’s Day. My dad died when I was young, but taught me to swim “army-style” by tossing me into a lake. I got to shore, but had a tough time getting out of the duffel bag.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week Can’t say if Donald Trump will ask this year’s Triple Crown winner to the White House. I’m pretty sure Justify is going to say “neigh.”
