MARKET’S STILL SWINGING: Judy Bilecki buys a basket of peaches at the height of their season from Bonnie Pierias of Bedford Farm at Etobicoke Civic Centre’s Farmers’ Market. The market runs each Saturday 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. through to Nov. 2.

Showcasing the ‘mosaic’ of Rexdale Rexdale Women’s Centre celebrates its 35th anniversary this month CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Rexdale Women’s Centre (RWC) is set to celebrate its 35th anniversary this month with its annual Walk-4-Change, followed by a Multicultural Mosaic

of Rexdale celebration.

Both events, which take place on Friday, Sept. 13, are designed to encourage cross-cultural understanding and to provide local residents with the opportunity to showcase their cultural heritage, said RWC project co-

ordinator Sonya Aslan.

“In terms of the Walk-4Change, the reason we do it is it provides us with an opportunity to promote community awareness and connections, and it showcases the multicultural diversity of north Etobicoke.

It also allows residents to join forces with Rexdale Women’s Centre in our efforts to promote respect, understanding and awareness of the trials, tribulations and successes that residents encounter,” Aslan said, >>>EXPERIENCE, page 10

Toronto police spokesperson Const. Tony Vella is considering a run at the vacant Etobicoke Centre Ward 3 council seat.

Vella confirmed in an interview Wednesday he is eyeing the possibility in what is fast becoming a crowded field of potential candidates for the central Etobicoke councillor’s job.

“I’ve always had a keen interest in politics, particularly in the last several years. I have a passion for helping people,” said Vella, who has worked for Toronto police for 18 years, the past five in communications.

“One thing I believe in is representing people. You have to be an active listener. Listen to people’s concerns and provide them with solutions. Make decisions for the entire community.”

Vella has lived in Etobicoke in Ward 6 for the past 12 years. He said he would be interested in running in the 2014 municipal election.

The Toronto City Council seat is vacant after veteran councillor and former deputy mayor Doug Holyday won the Aug. 1 provincial byelection to become Etobicoke-Lakeshore’s Conservative MPP. Late last month, Toronto >>>CANDIDATES, page 14

Pitch in at Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup You’re invited to launch the 20th edition of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup Sept. 21 at a whole host of sites in Etobicoke.

Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a community initiative taking place on shorelines (fresh and salty) across Canada to address the issue of shoreline litter.

“Throughout its 20-year history, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup has enlisted half a million Canadians to collect approximately

“

Throughout its 20-year history, (this event) has enlisted half a million Canadians to collect approximately 1.2 million kilograms of shoreline litter.

– Jill Dwyer, Cleanup program manager

1.2 million kilograms of shoreline litter - the approximate weight of

259 school buses,” said Jill Dwyer, program manager for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in a release. “Although these figures represent great accomplishments, they also indicate that there is much more work left to do, and many more volunteers required to stem the tide of shoreline litter.”

Shoreline litter is a serious environmental issue in Canada - and worldwide. Its effects are far-reaching - from entangling and choking

wildlife, to being ingested by wild animals, to negatively impacting water quality and cleanliness.

For example, during last year’s cleanup effort, 45 animals were found entangled, including 22 fish, 10 birds and even a fox. Shoreline litter can also pose safety risks to humans, and cause disruptions or imbalances within the local ecosystem.

The cleanup takes place from Sept. 21 to 29 at the following

Wanted: lovers of song to grow choir

Singers invited to open rehearsal Sept. 10 to learn more about Etobicoke Centennial Choir CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For nursery school music teacher Rachel Hasen, joining the Etobicoke Centennial Choir (ECC) last year was a chance to challenge herself musically, socialize with fellow music lovers, and add a little Mozart and Brahms to a repertoire that was becoming overrun by the kiddie favourites of her young students.

“This is just a delight for me.

It’s been a wonderful, challenging experience so far,” Hasen said last week at ECC’s annual social to kick off the upcoming season. “Singing makes me feel so good. Last season we did Brahms’ German Requiem, which was a lot of fun and quite challenging. It’s not really the type of thing I get the chance to do when I teach. There, nobody’s pushing me to sing in German – we stick to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”

Now entering its 47th season as Etobicoke’s community choir, ECC is hoping to recruit even more talented voices like Hasen’s alto to all sections of the 40-member choir in preparation for this season’s exciting, threeconcert slate of performances.

To those ends, ECC Music Director Henry Renglich is set to hold an open rehearsal on Tuesday, Sept.

10 from 7:15 to 10 p.m. at Humber Valley United Church, 76 Anglesey Blvd. Participants will not only have the opportunity to join in and sing with the choir during rehearsal, but also to meet Renglich and the other choristers, and explore all ECC has to offer.

“We’re always recruiting and

(in April) tends to look towards the bigger masterworks of the repertoire from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms, and our third concert (in June) tends to be lighter, to reflect springtime.”

It was ECC’s challenging repertoire of classical music that drew tenor Greg Pimento, who also sings with the Our Lady of Sorrows choir, into the fold last year.

“I saw some of their adverts and I saw what their repertoire was and I liked it,” he said, noting that last year’s performance of Brahms’ Requiem was a highlight for him.

“I’m an engineer and I run a business, so for me, (singing with ECC) is a very good counter to all the science and facts. It’s a good balance.”

For longtime chorister Karen Brookfield, who’s been singing with ECC for nearly 18 years, it’s been both the music and the camaraderie she’s developed with her fellow singers that’s kept her coming back year after year.

“I really enjoy the music and the challenge of the music, but the other thing that attracts me is the social piece of the choir. I’ve made some really good friends that I meet with regularly and see outside of the choir, as well,” she said, noting the diversity of ECC’s choristers.

“The thing we all have in common is a passion for music.”

And to all those music lovers out there who are thinking of joining ECC, Brookfield had this piece of advice: “Trust your instinct, trust your love of music and trust your desire to sing, and come and try it out.”

ECC’S 2013-14 CONCERT SEASON This year’s season begins on Saturday, Dec. 7 with Sacred Traditions, welcoming the start of the traditional holiday season.

The concert will feature J.S. Bach’s Cantata 140 (Sleepers Wake), selections from Handel’s Messiah, and Canadian composer Srul Irving Glick’s Kedusha, plus a selection of seasonal favourites to ring in the holidays.

On Saturday, April 5, Hidden Treasures: Renaissance to Romantic will feature Cesar Franck’s Mass in A Major, Mozart’s Nocturnes, Schumann’s Songs on a Poem by Robbie Burns, and an intriguing selection of delightful Madrigals.

Lastly, Far East meets West Toronto in a concert presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s perennial classic, The Mikado, with performances on Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7.

All concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. at Humber Valley United Church, 76 Anglesey Blvd.

Individual concert tickets for the Etobicoke Centennial Choir are $20, but threeconcert season subscriptions can be purchased for $50 per person.

To order, call 416-769-9271.

Provincial report worth exploring

L

ast September, the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario issued a comprehensive Pedestrian Death Review.

It’s a relevant and timely document, based on the 95 pedestrian deaths in Ontario in 2010. The report contains several recommendations on how to improve pedestrian safety.

We mention this report in light of the tragic death this week of 14-year-old Violet Jia Liang in North York.

For the second time in six months in this city, a school-aged child has been fatally struck during school hours. Back in March, five-year-old Kayleigh Callaghan-Belanger, who was walking home from school, was struck and killed by a garbage truck at Cliffside and East Haven drives in Scarborough.

In response to Kayleigh’s death, Scarborough Southwest Councillor Gary Crawford had asked the city’s waste management department to review “all policies, equipment, training our view requirements and routing to reduce the risk of injuries or fatalito pedestrians in the future.”

Show us the tiesThe motion was passed by counplans to make cil in April and a report is expected back to council next spring. In streets safe response to this latest tragedy, Crawford has hinted at broadening this review (the truck that hit Violet was not a city vehicle).

We’d like to see the city publicly update residents on any work related to adopting recommendations in the coroner’s report, and specifically point out further areas if they exist where the recommendations have relevance to Toronto residents. The report did recommend “all municipalities annually undertake a forensic review of all pedestrian deaths that have occurred within their jurisdictions.”

Reports and studies only have value when their recommendations are implemented. City staff has acknowledged the report’s value: Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health recommended the city’s Board of Health “commend the Chief Coroner for the important research.”

And Toronto has done some positive things for pedestrians. In 2002, the city approved the first Pedestrian charter in North America, and adopted its own walking strategy in 2007.

On pedestrian deaths, it’s clear the preventive solutions we seek will be multi-faceted, will require community input, and rely on the wisdom of experts in the field. We believe the city must take this opportunity to show the public its plans to make the streets safer.

Balancing act benefits Toronto’s economy

F

or all of those who refuse to believe the worst about Toronto, our ranking as one of the best places in which to live among 140 cities worldwide must be reassuring.

All of the top five cities – Melbourne, Vienna, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary – share similarities: they are mid-sized, and all have medium-level densities. The criteria by which they were rated include political stability, health care, culture, the environment, education, and infrastructure.

When the list is extended to the Top 10, and so takes in cities from Finland and New Zealand, additional similarities can be found, such as all being part of economies that value both private and public investment.

Equally remarkable is that the most famous cities are missing from the top.

For instance those cities with cachet or buzz, such as Paris, London or New York,

david soknacki beyond the headlines are well down. So are others that excel in just a couple of criteria at the expense of others.

Hong Kong comes to mind: it has enviable economic growth and superior hard infrastructure, but extremely high densities, many inadequate services, and a murky political environment.

Many Torontonians, who think their hometown is full of shortcomings, have much to learn. Perhaps the first lesson ought to be in selfesteem.

We are near the top of the list not because we do one thing perfectly, but because we are able to achieve a balance so well.

While we might moan about gridlock, we are investing in both transit expansion and major road repair. Privately and publicly

we give to culture and support environmental initiatives yet we have embraced frugality as a culture at city hall.

The same balance is evident when looking at development. Much of urban planning thinking centres around using public resources efficiently, which leads to intensification. Yet pushed to extremes, overdevelopment creates its own problems, which are hugely expensive to fix and sometimes takes decades.

Set against these forces of capitalism and orthodoxy is a jumble of municipal regulation and a provincial tribunal, which often produces a sensible balance between density and preservation.

None of Toronto’s strengths would be sustainable without a strong local economy. Here we have achieved success as well.

Our most recent employment figures are up, as are retail sales. In addition, our low office and industrial

vacancy rates are a sure a sign of healthy investment.

Like our other successes, Toronto’s economic strength is not due to any one sector. We have successfully although painfully changed from competing as a low-cost manufacturer into being a centre for valueadded services across a range of industries such as finance, aerospace, education and health care.

In short, we have achieved a quality of living that is the envy of the world by moving with the times and achieving a balance in so many areas of our urban life.

For the future our goal must not to worry about being the biggest, the flashiest, or excelling in one virtue at the expense of others, but rather to continue the balancing that we do so well.

expert advice

Students, drivers need to watch out for each other CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The tragic death of a 14-yearold North York girl on her way to school this week exemplifies just how important backto-school safety is now that students are back out on the city’s streets in full force.

On Tuesday morning, Violet Jia Liang – a C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute student – was struck and killed by a dump truck at Sentinel Road and Lamberton Boulevard as she made her way to her first day back to class after summer vacation.

Drivers, said Const. Tony Vella, need to be especially vigilant now that school is back in session.

“The number one main focus is drivers – when they’re going through school zones, they need to make sure they reduce their speed and follow the rules of the road,” he said in an interview with The

Faith Stevens, crossing guard at the corner of Royal York Road and Glenroy Avenue, helps children from four schools cross each day.

Guardian.

“Just remember to be cautious, because there are kids in the area and they could run out in front of your vehicle.

We want people to slow down and drive cautiously.”

While police will be host-

ing its annual back-to-school traffic safety blitzes this week and next – “just letting drivers know that kids are out and about and to reduce your speed” – Vella said students, too, need to take the necessary precautions to ensure

their walk to school is a safe one.

“Going back to school, the one thing you really want to do is ensure that when you cross the street, you use the crosswalk or a crossing guard, or cross at a signalized intersection – that’s number one,” he said.

“Also, don’t cross the street without looking both ways first. And avoid crossing midblock.”

For the parents of younger children getting themselves to school for the first time – whether by foot, bus or subway – Vella advises that they make the trip with their child several times in the first days back to school, pointing out any dangers they encounter along the way.

“Take a tour with your child to and from the school to show them the route they should take and also to ensure they don’t take any shortcuts,” he said, noting that walking in

a buddy system is advisable for kids of all ages.

Parents, Vella added, should also teach their young children to remember their full name, parents’ names, address, area code and phone number, in case they get lost.

“

Take a tour with your child to and from the school to show them the route they should take.

– Const. Tony Vella

And coming up with a code word is always a good idea.

“You hear of this type of ruse where someone approaches a child and says ‘your parent has been involved in a serious collision and they asked me to pick you up.’ So, teach your children a code word to use,

so that they know when it’s safe to go with someone and when it’s not,” Vella urged, noting that children should also be encouraged to report any suspicious encounters or people within the vicinity of their school to their teachers, school officials, parents or police.

In the case of teens, Vella advised they keep their iPods, cellphones and other expensive electronics to themselves, lest they fall victim to a mugging.

“Don’t broadcast what you have,” he said. “You don’t want to be letting everyone know that you just bought yourself a brand new iPhone.

Also, know your surroundings, particularly while you’re using a new electronic that you have.”

>>>from page 1 adding that she expects between 150 to 200 people to take part in this year’s third annual walk. “The Multicultural Mosaic of Rexdale anniversary celebration, meanwhile, also helps us promote community engagement and capacity building.”

RWC is an independent, non-profit agency that has been serving local high-needs women and their families since it was founded in 1978. In the 35 years since, RWC’s mission has been to support immigrant, newcomer and refugee women and their family members of all generations to become fully participating members of Canadian society – Canadians who are “self-sufficient, financially secure, safe, happy, healthy, and socially active.”

Over the last 35 years, RWC has been providing programs and services t ow a rd s t h o s e e n d s including, but not limited to: settlement services, English language classes, violence prevention series, children’s services, family support services, and post-settlement services, among others.

To help support the continuation of that programming, the third annual Walk-4-Change will begin with registration (including a $2 fee, benefitting RWC services) at 3 p.m.

The walk – which will feature starting point

locations at both Albion Mall, 1530 Albion Rd., and Thistletown MultiService Centre at 925 Albion Rd.– commences at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. back at the Rexdale Community Hub, 21 Panorama Crt., where walkers will be greeted by outdoor performers.

From there, the 35th anniversary celebrations will begin inside the hub, Aslan said.

“After the walk, everybody’s coming back to the Rexdale Community Hub, where we’ll commence with the cake cutting,” she said, noting that there will be an array of different cultural tables set up inside the hub to display the cultural artifacts from the home countries of RWC’s African, Italian, South Asian and Middle Eastern clients, among others. “ T h e n , a t a ro u n d 5:30 p.m., we will begin the program festivities, including many cultural performances of song and dance from different ethno-racial groups.”

After the performances wrap up at around 7:30 p.m., a buffet dinner will be served until 8:30 p.m.

Aslan said all are invited to take part in both the Walk-4-Change and the Multicultural Mosaic of Rexdale anniversary celebrations.

If you’re interested in attending, RSVP to Sonya Aslan at saslan@rexdalewomen.org or call 416-7450062 ext. 279.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR,

CATHY BEAULIEU It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 2013 Taste of the Kingsway (TOTK).

Every year we make it bigger and better, to suite and connect to the character of this community, and give something for everyone that visits.

Please, take a walk and see all the beautiful churches. As a business community we are very blessed with so many places were one can calm the mind and lighten the hart and spirit. Some of the best Ideas have been born

in Church basements, including the Taste of the Kingsway Festival. It was a local church that started this community event, inviting one and all to join in.

At the Taste be sure to check out the line up of entertainment on the stages.

Take a look at the historic tent, to see the Kingsway then and now. You are invited to walk in to the businesses and ask if they have a Kingsway special. You may be pleasantly surprised as to what you are offered just by asking. To truly get a taste of KINGSWAY you should visit as many businesses as you can.

The Kingsway is unique with its mediums and overflowing with flowers more so than any other business community. Did you know that because of the mediums there is a significant drop in the road pedestrian casualties? We hope you take the time to visit us during the street festival, and we invite you to come during other times of the year. Along the Kingsway you will find very friendly merchants and real neighbours.

Here is the line up of exciting events

happening in the Kingsway this fall:  The Annual Bed Race will take place in October in support of the Dorothy Lea Hospice. Saturday October 26th is Pumpkin Fest where awards will be given for best costume and best pumpkin decoration.  On November 23 2013 at 1:30 PM, Our Lady of Sorrows hosts Carolling in the Kingsway in support of the Out of the Cold Program. This annual Christmas Concert has graced the Kingsway for over 12 years.

The concert is a standing room only, non-denominational Christmas concert.

Choirs from 6 local churches are under the leadership of the talented Conductor, Shawn Grenke. People come back year after year for this charity concert, as it is that good. Come out to experience this beautiful Christmas concert and support a good cause!  Check out the restaurants after the concert and later join us for the Cavalcade of Lights ceremonies. We will have a real Christmas tree, and lighting ceremony.

The Kingsway is full of service-oriented

businesses. Please walk in to a nail spa and get polished up. Visit one of the Kingsway’s Optical locations where a qualified confidant will assist you with your vision. If you are planning on taking a vacation, the Kingsway’s travel agents are here to assist you with the best service possible. People of all ages, take care of the retail therapy and check out the clothiers, they will update your look.

The Kingsway has many Doctors and health care specialists dedicated to keeping their patients and clients happy and healty.

Get advice from the pharmacist, or do your legal banking. The Kingsway has it all. We are a full service business community. If the ready made is not your size we will make it fit. So it is safe to start here and the rest will follow, we will satisfy all your needs and tailor it to fit your budget.

I wish you all a great time have a safe and fun visit with us and look forward of seeing you again soon.

Join us at the Rock Climbing Wall!

KINGSWAY FACTS & HISTORY  Between 1906 and 1912, Robert Home Smith bought 3000 acres of land along the Humber River between Eglinton and Lake Ontario, which he developed into subdivisions such as Baby Point, Riverside Drive and Kingsway Park (now usually just called “The Kingsway”.)  The first two houses in The Kingsway were 43 and 47 The Kingsway, built in 1924 for Edward J. Cousins and Edward L. Cousins, father and son, respectively.  Between 1924 and 1947, 665 homes were built in The Kingsway.  The Kingsway was the first road paved in Etobicoke.  The Kingsway is wider than other roads in The Kingsway because Home Smith had planned to have an electric railway run down the centre of the street between Dundas and Bloor.  Royal York Road was named after the Royal York Golf Course, opened by a partnership between the Royal York Hotel and Robert Home Smith in 1929. That golf course was renamed St. George’s Golf and Country Club in 1946.

To help celebrate The Kingsway BIA’s 40th anniversary, a tent has been set up at The Taste of the Kingsway festival September 6-7-8. Inside is an exciting display of old photos of The Kingsway area, along with photos taken in the same locations today. Look for the sign “THEN & NOW in The Kingsway” on the tent. The Etobicoke Historical Society will be there to answer your questions all weekend!

Celebrate the flavours of the Kingsway this weekend This year’s 15th Annual Taste of the Kingsway Festival will celebrate with a food and entertainment extravaganza for the whole family.

The annual fall festival takes place along Bloor Street West from Prince Edward Drive to Montgomery Road on Friday, Sept. 6 from 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 8 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Featuring more than 200 exhibitors, this year’s event will also include a culinary market and theatre featuring celebrity chefs, the ever-

Volunteers still needed for three-day event popular Scotiabank Dog Show – the biggest dog show in Etobicoke – two grand stages with non-stop entertainment (see sidebar for full schedule of performers), beer gardens, an auto show, artisan and crafter pavilions, clowns and other street performers, midway rides, rock climbing walls, face painters, and a charity pancake breakfast in support of Out of The Cold, an organization devoted to helping the homeless.

In order for the Taste of the

Kingsway to run efficiently and smoothly, organizers are still seeking community volunteers to pitch in and help.

For high school students, it’s a great opportunity to fulfill those community service hours while participating in a fun event.

Main volunteer duties include: providing information to visitors, supervising children’s activities (i.e. bouncy castles), helping set up and break down the festival, and ensuring street

barricades remain closed.

Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to fill out a volunteer form at www. kingswaybia.ca/taste-of-thekingsway

The Taste of The Kingsway is back this weekend, beginning on Friday night. Last year’s event saw Twinkles entertain the kids with her balloon figures.

Etobicoke residents are invited to celebrate a successful first week back to school on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Franklin Horner Community Centre’s 9th annual Family Fun Fair Extravaganza.

The event, which takes place on the centre’s grounds at 432 Horner Ave. (between Kipling Avenue and Brown’s Line), runs on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Billed as “fun for all ages”, the Extravaganza will feature plenty of food and drink, live entertainment, local vendors and a Kids’ Fun Zone.

“We just want people to come out and have a good time,” said Franklin Horner’s Brianne Hutchcrast, one of the event’s co-ordinators.

“Basically what we’re doing is, we’re going to have a lot of

activities for the kids in the community, as well as stage performers, and Foods of the World.”

For all the foodies out there, the event will offer a wide variety of tasty morsels to choose from – from a barbecue, to a corn roast, to a Primo pasta booth, to, as Hutchcrast mentioned, a number of vendors offering ethnic foods from all around the globe.

There will also be a beer and wine garden on site.

On the stage, Extravaganza attendees will be entertained by a wide variety of live dance and music, including a performance by The Coppertones.

Also sure to entertain will be a series a contests – from pie and donut eating contests, to a hula hoop competition, to

a toilet paper contest where competitors will race to see who can get the paper off a toilet paper roll first.

While the little ones will be kept busy in the Kids’ Fun Zone – featuring Buzz’s Reptile Ranch, a bouncy castle, games, face-painting, henna, snow cones and candy floss – the adults will be welcome to peruse vendor items for purchase from local crafters and woodworkers.

T h e re w i l l a l s o b e a Tombola table, prizes, raffles and a silent auction.

Hutchcraft said Franklin Horner is still accepting donations of prizes and volunteers to help run the event.

MANISHA

Toronto Book Award finalists named

Month

Hi my name is Manisha and I have been delivering the Guardian for about three years now. It’s a great honour to be chosen as the carrier of the month. I truly enjoy delivering papers and getting to know my neighbourhood. Most of all I enjoy doing the papers with my younger siblings, Neha and Karan. All in all, this job is great for teaching us the meaning of punctuality and organization. I look forward to working and learning more from this job in years to come. Congratulations and thank you Manisha!

a gay journalist’s memoir of his coming-of-age in the Middle East, a collection of poetry evoking Group of Seven painter Tom Thomson, a novel about tall children, and another about unhappy foster parents, for the 2013 Toronto Book Award.

The short-list for the 39th Toronto Book Awards was announced recently. The awards, which are granted jointly by the City of Toronto and the Toronto Public Library, offer $15,000 in prize money – $1,000 to each finalist, and the remainder to the winning author.

All the nominees are chosen in part because their work is reflective of Toronto.

In a s t a t e m e n t , Mayor Rob Ford offered his congratulations.

“These five exceptional books truly reflect the diversity and the unique cultural talents of our great city.”

Toronto’s Chief Librarian Jane Piper also praised the finalists.

“Once again I’m struck by the range of perspectives on the city,” said Pyper. “A novel and a memoir each tackle questions of identity; a volume of poetry connects an iconic Canadian artist to urban life; a book of photographs invites us to really look at the city around us; and a second novel paints an intimate portrait of a marriage.

They all make for wonderful reading, and I congratulate these very fine writers.”

This year, the finalists are: • Kamal Al-Solaylee for Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes, detailing his childhood growing up gay in a large family in the Middle East (Harper Collins Publishers Ltd.); • Patrick Cummins and Shawn Micallef for Full Frontal T.O., a book of photographs of Toronto architecture (Coach House Books); • Kevin Irie, for his book of poetry, Viewing Tom Thomson, A Minority Report (Frontenac House Poetry); • A g a Maksimowska Best Buy CORRECTION NOTICE for her novel NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY AUGUST Gi a n t , a b o u t 30 CORPORATE FLYER In the August 30 flyer, page the experience 14, the Yurbuds Inspire Women’s Sport Headphones (WebCode: 10259122) were advertised in Purple when of a tall-for-herunfortunately this colour is not available at this time. age young girl’s immigration to We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Music gets traditional at Ukrainian Festival Performance to feature lesser-known instruments from Ukrainian history and culture LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Multi-instrumentalist Brian Cherwick says he loves performing at the annual Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival because it gives him a chance to reconnect with fellow musicians while catching up on what’s current in Ukraine.

This year will be Cherwick’s fifth appearance at the threeday event. “(Organizers) are kind enough to keep inviting me back,” Cherwick said during a phone conversation from his hometown of St. John’s Newfoundland. “It’s the largest festival of its kind in North America – it’s a great place to meet up with people doing similar work while meeting up with friends in Toronto.”

No stranger to performing – he’s been on stage since the age of three – Cherwick

says that while he doesn’t get nervous, it’s “great” to feel the amount of energy coming back from such a big crowd.

Cherwick plays as many as 30 traditional Ukrainian instruments.

“Some of these things, you don’t see so often,” he said.

Cher wick’s favour ite instrument is the tsymbaly, otherwise known as a dulcimer. Cherwick describes it as, “kind of like a piano with no keyboard.”

“If you look inside a piano, there are a bunch of strings with little hammers,” he said.

To play the tsmbaly, Cherwick holds a hammer in each hand.

“It takes a while to figure out the geography of it,” he said of the instrument’s difficulty.

“Now, I can close my eyes and play it.”

ther played the fiddle, his dad and uncles also played music.

Cherwick taught himself to play a number of instruments.

He grew up going to concerts and weddings.

“Different parts of Ukraine have different instruments,” he said.

“I choose music that shows the possibilities of each particular instrument.”

When he’s not performing, Cherwick is a musicologist, studying folk music and also writing and performing music for other people. The Toronto Ukrainian Festival organizers have gone to great pains to showcase musical and entertainment acts from Ukraine, Cherwick said.

This year’s 17th annual event will showcase traditional regional culture and the Hutsul people of the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine, from Friday, Sept.

13 to Sunday, Sept. 15. As well as the usual festival staples, like the parade, the interna-

tional and local performers, food, outdoor beer garden, cultural displays, a midway, a film festival, vendors and street dances, visitors will be treated to the Canadian debut of a photography exhibit by Ukrainian-Parisian photographer Youry Bilak called ‘In the Shadow of the Carpathians.’

His outdoor installation will chronicle the vanishing centuries-old culture of Ukraine’s highland people through a series of large-format colour photos presented in a museum-like atmosphere with professional art lighting and music.

The popular festival attracts as many as 600,000 visitors of diverse cultures from Canada, the US and abroad.
