RECAPAN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING WITH HAYATO SUMINO
Hayato Sumino’s May 9th concert in the Kobayashi Hall thrilled a sold-out
crowd of 500 and drew 3 standing ovations. The event attracted audi-

ence members not only from Toronto but also Saskatoon, New York, Boston and Japan! The first half of the show focussed on Bach and Chopin
but things became much more playful after the interval with selectionsof Kapustin, Gershwin and Sumino’s own compositions. For his encore

he played Joe Hisaishi’s Howl’s Moving Castle theme. An unforgettableevening. The JCCC thanks our friends at Bravo Niagara! without whose
support and coordination the evening could have never taken place.

Body/Armour Exhibit: Opening Reception
Our spring photography exhibit, Body/Armour, opened on April 28th as part of the CONTACT Photography Festival,featuring the work of photographers Claudia Fährenkemper and Ruth Kaplan. Fährenkemper was in attendance from
Germany and presented a fascinating artist talk on her photographs of Japanese samurai armour and electron microscope
images of insect exoskeletons. Attendees had the chance to meet and discuss her work with her. Stephen Bulger, one of
the curators of the exhibit, also presented remarks about the exhibit and the work of Ruth Kaplan, the other participating
photographer.

Japanese Canadian Third Places in Toronto
Call for participants: Yonsei, Gosei, and Ijusha
The JCCC Heritage Department is doing research on Japanese Canadian third places, or sites of gathering, in Toronto
to understand how Japanese Canadians have made place for themselves in the city from after WWII to the present-day.
The research will culminate in an exhibition at the JCCC.
We are interested in questions such as the following: What are
the places that allowed Japanese Canadians to create a sense of
belonging? To make sense of an unfamiliar city? What memories dopeople have of these places? What is the role of Japanese Canadianplaces in a changing Toronto?
We hosted two focus groups in May, one for sansei, and one foryonsei and gosei. We are still interested in talking to more people
from many different facets of the Japanese Canadian community,
including yonsei, gosei, and ijusha (including ijusha nisei). No sessions
are scheduled yet, but if you are interested in participating in some
capacity, please get in touch with Vidhya Elango at vidhyae@jccc.on.ca.

Wynford Seniors Bowlers Needed!
The Wynford Seniors Bowling League is currently looking for new 5 pin bowlers, age 55 and over, to join their fun-filled
and non-competitive league. No experience is necessary, as handicaps are calculated at the beginning of the season.
Bowling is either on Monday or Friday mornings, from 10:00 until noon, starting in September. The alley opens at
9:30am. Playoffs are in late April, and the season concludes with a banquet and awards ceremony in early-mid May.
The alley is located at Parkway Bowl, east end of Parkway Plaza, 67 Ellesmere Rd in Scarborough.
All you need to join is a $10 Wynford Seniors membership! Fees are $12 per week plus we collect fees for our Christmas and Year End tournaments.
If you are interested, the bowlers welcome you to check out the alley during the summer on Monday mornings starting
June 3rd, 2024 from 10:00-12:00, where some practise for fun.
For more information or to join, please contact Dawna Kobayashi at 416-407-8102. The deadline to join is August 2,
2024.

TJGC Annual Plant Sale - June 2Time to get outside in the garden! Plan to attend Toronto Japanese Garden Club’s (TJGC) annual plant sale at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) on June 2 from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

The JCCC is located at 6 Sakura Way and the plant sale will take placeoutside in the Heritage Garden – if it rains, we’ll move indoors to the
Heritage Court.

Our sale offers items you won’t find at other garden centres. Look forspecialty kiku (chrysanthemum) and asagao (morning glories) plus uncommon house plants and perennials. Last year our selection of Japanese herbs and vegetables were a huge hit and quickly sold out.

Arrive early for best selection and to avoid disappointment. Cash only
sales. Please bring bags or boxes to carry your items home.

For more information, email TJGardenClub@gmail.com or visit our website
at torontojapanesegardenclub.ca.

健やかな老後をめざして その74 - 母の言葉

マーナ豊澤英子（ 医学博士 老年看護スペシャリスト

mernagh@rogers.com ）「えいちゃん、
人の悪口を言うと、それは必ず巡り巡って自分に返ってくるよ。
悪口は言わないようにしようね」と、母が話してくれたのは一体いつだったのでしょうか？中高生の頃、うわさ話をするクラスメイトの輪になかなか加われなかった思い出があるので……母の教えはまだ幼かった頃のことでしょう。
振り返ってみると、他人の悪口を言うことは少なかったように思います。
昨
今の子供社会では、同じような反応や行動をしない子は容易にいじめの対象になるようですから、浮いた存在であってもいじめに遭わなかった私は、
古
き良き時代に育ったことに感謝しなければいけませんね。
さて、職業人として働き始めた当時「仕事に関する評価システム」
はまだ確立していませんでした。
スタッフナースのキャリア開発や配置転換に大きな権限をもつ中間管理職（病棟責任者）に昇進した際、はっきりと心に決めたことがありました。
「聞こえてくる言葉に惑わされることなく、私自身が直接にスタッフを観察し、意思疎通に努め、判断・評価する」と！
そんな私だったので「年度末の人事異動に関しては、
前もって他の職場のナース情報を集める」
と言う常識
（？）
には無頓着でした。
新米責任者の私にとって、次年度の人事計画（誰を送り出し、誰を迎えるか）を看護部長と相談するのは初めてのことでした。
新年度になってすぐ「英子さん、
年度末に看護部長と面談した際にどんな事を相談したの！？」と、他部署の看護師長（友人）に訊ねられました。
面談内
容を彼女に伝えると「やっぱりね……。
どこにも行き場のないツワモノ（ナース）
があなたの部署に集まったよ」と。
つまり、22部署の看護師長たちが引き受けなかった“トラブルメーカー”が我が病棟に集結したのです。
２人も！
それを知った瞬間は少しビックリしました。
しかし「もし、看護部長とそういった駆け引きができると知っていたら、
あなたはそれをやりましたか？」と自身に問いかけましたが、答えは
「いいえ」
でした。
ですから
「これは大変だ～」と思ったものの「かれらを観察し、その変化を楽しんでいこう」との気持
ちのほうが大きかった、と記憶しています。
「来る者 拒まず」
の精神です
（
笑）。
さて皆さま、
その後の1年間がどうだったのか気になりますよね！予想通
り、２人はけっこう癖の強いナースでした。
特に困ったのは、患者と家族から「ゆっくり話を聴いてくれない、
笑顔が少なく、対応が良くない」
等、
同僚ナース
からは
「あの人とは夜勤を組みたくない、
言葉がとてもきつい」
等の訴えでした。
数ケ月間の観察を通して、私にも色々な気づきがありました。
個人面接を
行うと、
過去に上司よりきちんとした面談や評価を受けた経験がなかったことがわかりました。
適切な指導がなければ、何が問題であるのかを本人が自覚することはできません。
特に仕事の場では、
適切な時機にエビデンスに基づいた指導が重要です！
一方で、かれらには他のナースに勝る能力がありました。
看護技術と看護研究への関心です。
問題点のみに焦点があたると、
どうしても悪口になり、長所が見えなくなってしまいがちです。
本人に強みと改善点の両者を認識させ、共に歩もうとすることが大切です。
さて2年後、
かれらは技術指導と研究のリーダーとして必要な人材に成長しました。
陰で悪口を言うか、向かい合って問題を話し合うか……どちらが共に幸せかは言うまでもありません。
シニアとなった今日この頃「周りで支えてくれ
る家族や友人との意思疎通をますます大事にしていきたい」と思っています。

Glycemic Index and Diabetes: Wed. Jun 12, 3pm (English &Japanese)

Have you ever heard of the Glycemic Index (GI)? The glycemic index
classifies foods that contain carbohydrates according to their potential
to raise blood sugar. Foods with high glycemic index values tend toraise blood sugar higher, faster and for a longer time than do foods
with lower values. Understanding the glycemic index can help you
make healthier food choices and manage your blood sugar levels
more effectively.
