Seniors’ Supper ClubFound in our Archives!

The 2017 Seniors’ Supper
Club sessions are wellunder way. To date, wehave made Chawan Mushi
and Char Sui, Hanami
Bento and Chicken Currywith Miso Salad.
Our May session, Hanami Bento, had our cooks making
Tamago, Inarizushi, Onigiri and Asparagus Ohitashi. We also
had a demonstration of Mushi Pan by Christine Takasaki.
Although the rain took away any chance of enjoying cherry
blossoms with our bento, our cooks enjoyed a colourful bentowith lots of laughs and leftovers.
Our Fall Sessions
will be listed in the Fall &Winter Programs Guide.
So far, we have been
experiencing wait lists
for space in the program,so make sure that you
register early.

In today’s fast paced world, taking photographs is almost a daily
practice. How many of us pull out our cell phones or tablets tograb a quick picture of whatever it is that we are doing?
Recently, one of our regular Archives volunteers, Roy,brought in a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Camera which had beenin his possession for many years. Kodak began manufacturing
the Brownie Hawkeye around 1949 – but as Roy shared his
memories, it became
apparent that taking
photos of family events
had been a part of hislife since childhood.
During the 1930’s and1940’s, camera users
would often develop
their own photos inhome studios, resulting

Community NewsBill Hatanaka Honoured by CFL!
The Canadian Football League marked Canada’s 150th birthday with special pageantry
celebrating diversity and honouring some of its most legendary players. “Legendary
Canadian” shirts were created for all teams that feature a notable Canadian player (selectedby the individual teams) to be worn on the sidelines for non-playing personnel as well as
during interviews.
We were all thrilled to learn that the Ottawa Redblacks selected – quite rightfully - Nikkei
Bill Hatanaka as their Legendary Canadian. Bill was born in 1954 and in his rookie CFL
season, 1977, he ran back a punt for a touchdown that helped the Ottawa Rough Riders
win the Grey Cup. At the time, it was the longest punt return in CFL Grey Cup history anddefinitely worth finding on Youtube. After his football career, Bill rose to a senior executive
level with TD Bank and was the inaugural chair of the TD Bank’s Diversity Leadership Council.
He is a shining example of a Canadian striving for and achieving excellence in sport and business and inspiring new Canadianswith his story. Bill has volunteered with the Canadian Centre for Diversity at York University, is on the Board of Governors for York
University, is a senior advisor the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre and a major driver of our Sakura Gala.

Roy Miya Jazz Concert
at Castleview Wychwood Towers
Submitted by Kazumi Fukushima,
Castleview Wychwood Towers

Roy, 92, is a jazz pianist of extraordinary talent, whether
performing as a solo artist or with an ensemble.
A self-taught pianist, he started to play when he was 20.
His music roots can be traced to his interest in boogie-woogie,
and legends like Meade Lux Lewis, and later, by blind English
jazz pianist George Shearing and Bill Evans.
In the 1950’s Roy was a lead member of the Quintcats, inwhich he played along with his brother Lewie and three others.
Together they travelled across Canada showcasing their talents.
Roy recovered miraculously, from a debilitating brain injury hesuffered in 2010, thanks in part, to his profound love of music.
He will be back to showcase his talent once again, at
Castleview Wychwood Towers (351 Christie St.), on Sunday
September 10, 2017 at 2:00pm.
Come and join us for an unforgettable music experience
with Roy and his friends!

RSVP by email to Kazumi Fukushima at kazumif@rogers.com
