Gene Dinovi presents theBenny Goodman Centennial OrchestraSaturday May 30, 2009 is the 100th birthday of the great clarinetist Benny Goodman. On that day Gene Dinovi will present the Benny Goodman Centennial Orchestra playing selections from, “The Sound of Music”, and Goodman favourites, including Let’s Dance, Memories of You, Don’t Be that Way, Stompin’ At The Savoy, Sunny Side of the Street, Rose Room, Moon Glow, One O’clock Jump, Sing Sing, Sing and more! Pianist and composer DiNovi, who is one of the great icons of Canadian and American jazz, together with Order of Canada-winningmusiciansCampbell (clarinet)andYoung (Bass),will beperforming with and passing on a legacy to the next generation of premier jazz musicians who make up the rest of the Benny Goodman Centennial Orchestra This top talent includes: Bryden Baird(trumpet),GrahamCampbell(guitar),ErnestoCervini(drumsand clarinet), Tara Davidson (alto saxophone and flute), DavidFrench(tenorsaxophone),andRJSatchithananthan(trombone). Exactly 50 years ago pianist Gene Dinovi recorded the music from “The Sound of Music” with Benny Goodman at a famous New York club called “Basin Street East”. The band was a stellar “Tentet” featuringBennyGoodman(clarinet),JackSheldon(trumpet),GerryDodeion(altosax),FlipPhillips(tenorsax),BillHarris(trombone),RedNorvo;(vibes),JohnMarkham(drums),RedWooten(bass),JimmyWyble(guitar),andGeneDiNovi(piano). DiNovi, Campbell and Producer Ted Ono all agreed that this was an opportunity to make a legacy of this music for the younger generationsofjazzplayers.Thefirsthalfoftheconcertwillhighlightthe music from the perennially popular “Sound of Music”. Thesewere (and remain) fresh andmodern arrangements by avery talented young man in 1959 named Fred Karlin. Gene DiNovi served as an emissary between Benny and Fred at that time. Benny thought Fred was a little young for the job at hand but Gene convinced Benny to go with the young guy. Sounds perennially familiar. In any case the Yale University library was very kind in providing the arrangements to DiNovi who enlisted the talented youngmusicianswhofillouttheexcitinggroup. Please call the JCCC at 416-441-2345 to purchase tickets. (Seeadonp.4fordetailsontheconcert).

Speakers Series Welcomes Vancouver Filmmaker Brendan UegamaThe Heritage Committee's Speakers Series continues on Friday May 29, 2009 at 7:00pm with special guest, Sansei Filmmaker Brendan Uegama from Vancouver, B.C. Brendan, 29, has written and is currentlydirectingashortfilmcalled“Henry’s Glasses” which is based on his family history. His grandfather, Imataro "Sam" Uegama immigrated to Canada in 1907 and fought for Canada in World War One. His father, Walter, was interned with his family in Greenwood, B.C. during World War Two. "My inspiration for Henry's Glasses? I love stories about people using their imagination to escape to a different place. Films like Pans Labryinth, Alice and Wonderland, etc. I've also really been interested in the power of the mind. We've all heard before that geniuses think in a more child like manner than the rest of us. That lead me to believe that we are all born geniuses and throughout our lives we are mentally conditioned by limitations. As well, my ancestry has been a large part of my life these past couple years. My interests in cultures has led me to explore my own in more detail. When I learned more about my father's family's experience in the internment, along with the 22,000 others, I wanted to write about it to help the country and the world talk about it. These points inspired the creation of what became Henry's Glasses." ThefilmtakesplaceinTashmein1945.Thestoryisaboutanimaginative young Nikkei boy who has a pair of his grandfather's glasses. He meets an older Issei man in the internment camp and they become friends. Brendan discovered a love for photography while at high school in Tsawwassen, B.C. His passion for image making carried him into thefilmmakingprogramatCapilanoCollege inNorthVancouver,B.C. where he graduated in 2002. Brendan has recently been awarded a Kick Start award by The Directors Guild of Canada for Henry’s Glasses, which he is co-producing with Shin-Ijusha, Miho Yamamoto. Please join us in the JCCC Heritage Lounge for an evening with Brendan and Nikkei Voice writer Norm Ibuki. Refreshments will be served after the talk.

Ghost Town Teachers and Nostalgia Nightby Mel TsujiA special tribute is being organized for Nostalgia Night on Saturday June 20, 2009 to honour the men and women who taught at internment camp schools during the World War II. Around 25 senior citizens, who make up what’s known as the, “ghost town teachers” will be saluted for their efforts in bringing calm to a chaotic evacuation situation, when many young, school-age children were among the 22,000 ordered out of their homes and forced into desolate internment camps. According to the book Teaching in Canadian Exile by journalist Frank Moritsugu, about 250 Nisei were recruited to become teachers at eight internment camp schools operated by the British Columbia Security Commission. Among the former teachers to be honoured with Pioneer Achievement Awards will be Aiko Murakami, still sharp and talkative at the age of 92. Along with Dr. Irene Uchida, Ms. Murakami is believed to be one of few principals of an internment camp school still living today. “She’s very excited about the tribute,” said her son, Mike Murakami, formerly of Edmonton, now living in Toronto. She clearly remembers those days when teaching candidates were being sought for schools, as early as April, 1942 when temporary classes were being organized for Hastings Park, which acted as a holding centre for JCs until the internment camps could be erected. “Hide(Hyodo)Shimizuwasouronlyfully-accreditedteacherandthatwasonlybecauseshetaughtinSteveston,whichhadmostlyJCkids,”saidMrs.Murakami.“JapaneseCanadianscouldn’tgetteachingcertificatesatthattime.”Asaresult,Niseiuniversitygrads,alongwithundergrads and high school graduates were recruited to take B.C. correspondence courses to qualify as teachers for the large number of children headed for the camp schools. Eventually, schools were set up at all the internment camps, including New Denver, Tashme, Lemon Creek, Sandon, Popoff, Bay Farm, Kaslo, and Rosebery. Teachers followed the curriculum set by the B.C. Ministry of Education and the schools apparently became so good that their reputation spread among local non-Japanese Canadian residents. “Some of the residents said the Japanese Canadian teachers were better than the regular teachers, so they wanted their own children to come to our schools, but they couldn’t get permission because they weren’t Japanese Canadian,” said Mrs. Murakami. Some of the internment camp teachers were nationally or internationally recognized later in their careers. Rev.TakashiTsuji, thefirstprincipalof theBayFarmschool, laterbecameBishopof theBuddhistChurchesofAmerica. Dr. IreneUchida,firstprincipaloftheLemonCreekschool,becameageneticistandrenownededucator.Dr.Uchida,andHide(Hyodo)Shimizu,whosupervised the internment camp school system, were later named to the Order of Canada. Another highlight for the evening will be a tribute to the women who played in the Nisei Ladies’ Softball League that thrived in Toronto in the late 1940s and 50s. Pioneer Achievement Awards will also be given out. To top off the evening, a huge buffet of Japanese Canadian food favorites, such as Cumberland chow mein, sushi, onigiri, teriyaki chicken and more will be served. All this for the bargain price of $7. Doors open at 3:00pm and winds up at 8:00pm. RSVP is preferred. Please call 416-441-2345 to register.

Seeking Info On 1943 Slocan Valley Baseball ChampionshipBy Julie TakedaI am looking for any information people might have about the July 1, 1943 Slocan Valley Championship. No information is too small or trivial. e.g. weather, where people sat, how long the tournament lasted, names of people who played or coached (I know someof thefamedAsahiballplayerswereontheLemonCreekteam)whether there was a closing/opening ceremony, what the names of the other teams were, whether there were any standout plays, impressions of the day/games, etc. People can contact me via my email address ([email protected]) or the JCCC newsletter at [email protected] you.

JCCC Hamasaki Collection Exhibited in WoodstockBy Mika FukumaSeveral Torontonians, including representatives from the JCCC and the Hamasaki family were present at the opening of the exhibition Play Misty For Me: The Paintings of Kazuo Hamasaki at the Woodstock Art Gallery on March 7. The 19 paintings displayed until April 4 were on loan from the JCCC Heritage Committee, and were originally donated by executors of the Hamasaki Estate, Ken Yoshida and Gary Hamasaki to the JCCC. After his passing in 2005, Nisei Kazuo Hamasaki’s name and legacy has been kept alive by the JCCC and the Hamasaki family. These included a weekend exhibition of his works in November 2006 and the renaming of the Sky Room at the JCCC to the Hamasaki Room in December 2008. This exhibition held outside of the Centre was an introduction of his works to other Canadians that are not familiar with his name. The exhibition concept came about when Maria Ricker, curator of the Woodstock Art Gallery approached the JCCC to discuss the idea of introducing Japanese culture to the community through visual arts. Although Hamasaki was trained in methods of the Josui Kai Nanga Society, and was bestowed on him his seal and artist’s name, “Shin Sen,” he had never been to Japan. Still, the Japanese influencesinhispaintingsareapparentandhisworksoftenreflectHamasaki’s JC heritage and love for Hawaii through his distinctive usage of combined Eastern and Western style watercolour techniques.
Woodstock, which is known for its new Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada plant, has maintained a good relationship with Japan. Their connection with Japan spans 20 years, and the city recognizes the importance of understanding Japanese culture. Michael Harding, Mayor of the City of Woodstock who recently returned from a business trip to Japan commented on Hamasaki’s works that, “There is something essential in the Japanese spirit that delights in nature in a way that we don’t. … It’s the loss of the language that has happened in the second and third generation, not the creative spirit.” Guest curator for the exhibition, Bryce Kanbara of Hamilton, noted that the landscape paintings are recollections of the B.C. interior where Kaz Hamasaki’s family was interned -- giving the workshistoricalsignificance.“Thosearetheaspectsthatmakehisworks interesting and separates it from a Japanese show,” said Kanbara. A special presentation was also made at the opening of the exhibition on behalf of the JCCC Heritage Committee and the Hamasaki family, with a donation of one of Kaz Hamasaki’s paintings. I would like to thank Sid and Marie Ikeda for the pleasant ride to and from Woodstock. I am glad I had the opportunity to view the breathtaking works by Kaz Hamasaki. Those who missed the opportunity to see the exhibition are encouraged to look forward to an exhibition of Hamasaki’s paintings at the JCCC, hopefully sometime next year.

J-Comm Committee at the JCCCEarly in 2009 an important new committee came into being at the JCCC. In response to input from the Ijusha community, as well as recognition that the Japanese-speaking component of the community is one of our important stakeholders, the JCCC Board has moved to create the J-Comm Committee. The Centre has a great many members, instructors and participants who are Japanese speakers. The JCCC understands that we must evolve our own programming to better meet the needs and interests of the Ijusha and Japanese-speaking community. The name J-Comm Committee was chosen to reflect itsinclusiveness: “J” stands for Japanese in the broadest sense: culture, language–notstrictlyasaracialornationaldesignation;“Comm”standsfor both communication and community. It is through this committee that the JCCC will reach out the Japanese speakers, Ijusha and the vital community organizations like NJCA, JSS and others. The goal is to be welcoming and accommodating; to tear down any remaining walls betweenIjushaandJCCC–tomakeallJapanese-speakersfeellikefamily,ratherthanguests,at6GaramondCourt. J-Commreflectsthenew,deepercommitmentandtheJCCC’sdesiretoembraceandengageourJapanese-speakingfriends. The vision of the committee is as follows: “In the JCCC’s spirit of inclusion, to create activity with the JCCC which serves the needs of the Japanese speaking community; to create bridges between Japanese speakers; to create opportunities for friendship between Japanese speakers and the broader Canadian community.” NewJapaneseimmigrantshavebeenidentifiedasoneofthemajorstakeholdersintheJCCC’sfuture.It isessentialthattheJCCCcreate a direct bond with this group.

The motto of the committee is: “We are All Connected”. Through J-Comm, the JCCC wishes to contribute in its own way to the groups that support the Japanese speaking community. JCCC does not compete with other ijusha groups; J-Comm exists to expand and enhance Japanese language activity at the JCCC through cooperation and collaboration.
