Notebook

The battle between Doctors

and Toronto

• for control of

,.,.,.,munity care in our

J..ourhood has come to

Toronto Hospital,

by the provincial

says Hand

Hospital programs

over to lj[. We 're

to add ~1at

doing to the

~ecialized areas we

already handle.

Doctors, backed by its

community and the Metro

District Health Council says

We'll move from Brunswick

to the Western to save

money, ifyou like. But we

are the experts in primary

care. Toronto Hospital is too

big to do what we do.

In the past eight years of

publishing DRUM we've

had a lot to do with both

local hospitals---and we have

to say, when it comes to

neighbourhood, low-tech,

community health care, we

don't buy the idea that a

tertiary, specialist-driven

megahospital like TTH can

do it.

Why would the provincial

government decide that just

because our neighbourhoods

are downtown we don't have

neighbourhood needs like

"905" communities?

Unless TTH can prove

that they are competent to

add community medicine to

their high tech mix (and this

would be a big reversal

because up to now they've

been shedding primary care

left, right and centre) we

say, leave primary care with

the people who have proved

they can handle it.

Keep Doctors Hospital's

programs alive, upder

Doctors Hospital board and

community control.

George Brown

redevelopment

You can read details of the

Kensington Lofts plan for

redevelopment of the former

George Brown College lands

for yourselves (p. 4).

After nearly four years of

community involvement

since George Brown

announced they were

abanding Kensington

campus, this proposal will

be going to the City's

Committee of adjustment on

July 29. It's decision time!

What we think is that in

present economic times this

is the best possible deal for

the community. It protects

residential Nassau St.,

respects retail Baldwin and

offers affordable ownership

to chronic renters like us.

We'll kick ourselves (and

very probably each other)

down the road if we don't

take advantage of this

opportunity.

CRUCIAL DATE FOR

KENSINGTON LOFTS,

TUES. JUL V 29

The notice of Public Meeting on the right

hand side of this page is not an official City

notice in the DRUM. It went out door-todoor

in Kensington this past weekend.

In fact, the meeting in question (July

16) is taking place at the very moment that

DRUM is going on the presses.

But we are reprinting it here for two

reasons. One, because it presents the basic

facts of what is being proposed. Two,

because it gives details on how to

participate in the upcoming Committee of

Adjustment hearing (July 29) that should

go a long way toward determining the fate

of this plan.

The Wednesday July 16 meeting was

to be chaired by Dan Leckie, local City

Councillor who is generally in support of

the project.

"When George Brown closed, local

businesses were hurt. We have been

working with the community to ensure that

any new development will be a good fit

with the surrounding community."

The plan being presented Wednesday

16 has a four year history of community

involvement. There have been literally

dozens of meetings at every stage of its

development, mostly under the auspices of

the Kensington Market Working group. But

the Wednesday July 16 meeting is the first

to take place as part of the City's formal

planning process.

7:30 Open House

8:00 Public Meeting

George Brown College

1'' floor Meeting Room, enter from Baldwln Street

3 Nassau Street and 21 - 25 Nassau Street

(former Kensington Campus of George Brown College)

This public meeting is being held prior to the Committee of Adjustment hearing on

Tuesday, July 29, 1997.

Site

The Kensington Campus of the fanner George Brown College fronts onto Nassau Street and Baldwin

Street, just west of Spadina Avenue. The site consists of three interconnected buildings in the heart of

the Kensington Market Area of the City of Toronto.

Proposal

The redevelopment of the site consists of converting the three existing buildings to residential

condominiums with ancillary retail use.

The two buildings facing Nassau Street will be linked together to fom1 a single building containing 56

residential units. Ground floor units will have private front yards facing Nassau Street to reinforce the

residential character of the street.

The large building facing Baldwin Street will be converted to create 89 residential units. The ground

• floor on the south side of the building will be converied to retail use to reinforce the existing retail uses

along Baldo,yin Street. The north side of floors 1-3 will be converted to 95indoorparkingspaces.

Purpose of the Meeting

The public meeting will provide an opportunity for members of the public to review, ask questions and

make comments on the proposal. An application has been made to the Committee of Adjustment for

a Minor Variance for the proposal. The Committee of Adjustment will consider the

proposal on Tuesday, July 29, 1997.

The lower section of Kensington A venue between St.

Andrew and Dundas has been identified by

community members as an ideal street for

pedestrianization. As two York University graduate

students in urban planning, we are consulting we are

consulting with the Kensington Market Working

Group, other interested residents and merchants, and

city officials to develop a pedestrian plan for the

street.

We feel that by creating a space for people to enjoy,

the social and economic vitality of the Market will be

enhanced. Also, a pedestrian plan in the Market

would be the first pedestrian street to occur within

Metropolitan Toronto. Such an innovation would

attract visitors to the Market and be an environmental

showcase for other pedestrian streets in the city.

On Sunday July 27 during the Kensington Market

Street Festival Kensington A venue will be closed to

vehicular traffic. The lower section of the street will

highlight the features of a pedestriam area, complete

with benches, bike posts and tree planters. There will

also be an information table in this area where people

can find out more and share their ideas.

We do invite all community members, particularly

those who live and/or work on lower Kensington

Avenue, to become actively involved in designing a

pedestrian street. If you have any questions or ideas

about the project before the festival, please contact

Hillary or Susanna at 588-1833.

Is there an innovative community project in

your neighbourhood?

Nominate it for a

"Neighbourlies

Award"

Application deadline:

Awards presentation during

HEAL THY CITY WEEK

:ti 8 Kensington Market DRUM: July/August ·97

THAT MAGIC MARKET BALANCE ... OUTSIDERS, LOCALS, AND PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN TO PLAY

~@[J~@li

~QJJ~~

BY MASHA BUELL

If anyone in Kensington has a

crystal ball that can see more

than one year's lease into the

future, I'd sure like to meet

them. For me, forecasting

the Market's future is a

strictly non-prophet business.

Take the April DRUM for

example. In it we boldly

proclaimed . . . ta da! . . . that

spring was on the way. And

then we went even further,

claiming we could actually

see some teensy signs of

hope on the horizon for

Kensington after two or three

really brutal years.

Well our "spring"

prediction was way off-

strawberries in our corner of

DRUMland didn't show their

bh.!shing cheeks till late June!

And our timid claim that

maybe there was hoJ?e on the

horizon was even w1mpier.

Because hope has come

roaring through Kensington

this summer like the

proverbial express train!

SIGNIFICANT ALIGNMENT

Part of the momentum has

come from an alignment of '

significant external events.

The Spadina LRT goes into

service July 27 after two

years of disruption to local

transit and traffic. The

expanded Kensington Parking

Garage opens again, after

five months mayhem. Road

crews have given up their

search for the elusive spring

and gone home. There is a

coherent empowering plan

for the George Brown

Kensington buildings after

two years of desolation.

subject) the festival has

already been a success. Stroll!

through the pages of this

issue of the DRUM and

you'll see what I mean. In it

you'll find all kinds of

evidence of the community

working together, and that's

the crucial thing.

For just one example, look

at the Festival's art-m-thepark

event--the "first annual

KOAR" (Kensington Outdoor

Art Revue). KOAR has

already discovered that

magic Kensington balance-

attracting outsiders, saving

space for locals, and

providing place for the

children to play in between.

Of course, one festival does

not a revival make!

For one thing, empty stores

still gape like missing teeth

1throughout the Market.

(Absentee property owners,

hearts and minds far from

Kensington stubbornly let

buildings stand vacant while

they hold out for rents that

bear no relationship to

current economic realities.)

A second problem: the

diversity that makes

Kensington unique also

makes sustained collective

community action doubly

difficult.

And, perhaps the toughest

nut of all: how will

Kensington stand up to the

total makeover of Spadina

A venue that some people are

predicting will follow the

launch of the Spadina LRT?

April 15 1997, many in the

market mourned the passing

of Bart Durber III.

Surrounded by family and

friends, he succumbed

peacefully, with courage and

dignity, to pnettmonia.

Bsrt was a communityminded

resident of

Kensington, founding

member of Exile/ Asylum

Stores, and patron of the

early Queen Street art scene.

A man of great wit and

wisdom, he was always the

first to lend a hand, no

matter what the situation

demanded. Bart lived to rise

to other people's occasions.

His Truman-Capote-ish

profile with its ever present

tendrils of tobacco smoke is

missed by all.

More than forty Kensington shops will be offering samples of

festival fare - ready to eat treats they usually sell, or that

can be made from the foods they sell. All sample items will

sell for a dollar or less, and many will be completely free.

A world of flavours! What a delicious adventure! The

l<ensington Market DRUM: July/August '97 :M13

BY SN BIANCA

Kensington Market is art. From its

giant Banana Lisa mural at St Andrew

and Kensington to its wild array of

store signs and sign painting, to the

anti-graffiti Murality murals springing

up at strategic spots ... art is as

ine4scapable here as the cacophony of

music blaring and blending from every

store. So no wonder artists gravitate to

the place~-a great place to live and be

inspired

And now increasingly it's becoming a

great place to display and see art too!

Throughout the years there have been

places to see art, (like Peter Matyas'

famous Checkerboard Gallery) but

recently there seems to be an

explosion of gallery and artist friendly

spaces popping up, most trying to

showcase local lesser known artists,

often younger artists who can't even

get a foot in the door at some of the

more established galleries around the

city. Here's a run-down.

Oldest of these new spaces is the Little

Gallery at 2560 Augusta A ve where

Suzanne and Erin the owner/designers

of adjacent Eza Wear turned an unused

room in their store into a warm and ·

inviting little space showcasing-mostly

local artists. A great place for artists

to get their feet wet, this month will

see the first repeat show for the Little

Gallery with the return of Shannon

Brown inspired by a winter spent in

San Miguel.

Manifestudio at 213 Augusta Ave is

KWANGTUNG DIM SUM RESTAURANT

also dedicated to enabling some of the

city's brilliant young artists to break in.

Showing young Toronto artists to the

Market and the city since February of

this year, eo-owners Amy and Kevin

have been overwhelmed by the interest

and the quality of applications, proving

that there is a need for this kind of

space. Showing throughout July is

"Bourgeois Funk" a multi-artist

exhibition of functional art, with the

gallery transformed into a living room

and bedroom filled with these

distinctively uncommon everyday

objects. Following in August will be

first time solo shows by local artists

Isabelle Mignault and Oswald Phills.

Kaleidoscope is Kensington's newest

art gallery/cafe, but as owners Steve

and Kimmee say, the space is "beyond

classification". The comfortably

cluttered room is filled with cozy

couches, old board games, and a large

collection of albums used by the

resident DJ, as well as their dog,

Brutus. As well, the walls are not the

blank, beige backdrop favored by most

galleries, but swirling multicoloured

patterns which are art in themselves.

Steve and Kimmee have been in and

around Kensington for many years both

with their band Trans Love Airways

and through helping organize

Kensington's first successful art in the

park venture on Oxford St. several

years ago. Showing throughout July are

Peter Gillett and onecloud. Coming up

will be a group collage show.

MARKET

AS ART:

a detail from

Patrick Hayes'

multipanelled

mural at

St. Stephen 's

Community House

Corner Drop In,

370 College Street

Besides the galleries, many of the

area cafes and restaurants also

showcase art. Kensington Cafe at 73

Kensington Ave. will be showing

Douglas Miller's silver print and oddly

angled panoramic photographs until

August 1st in a show organized by the

Powerhouse Group that matches

photographers with fme restaurants and

cafes. (They can be reached at

977-7718)

Cafe Kim at 40 Kensington Ave. has

also just launched an Emerging Artists

Series. For quite some time the cafe

has displayed the work of local artist

Tim Radford, and this June, Tim took

on the task of coordinating and

presenting other local artists. The

series opened with Mary Fish and

continues this month with Raymond

John Cook, followed in August by

onecloud. Artists interested in taking

part should contact Tim through Cafe

Kim. Other cafes you can usually

expect to see a diversity of art are the

Moonbean on St. Andrew St. and

Tryst around the corner on Kensington

Ave.

This is a tiny taste of what

Kensington Market has to offer in the

way of visual arts. Let's hope the

places mentioned here are just the

beginning of a trend and that visitors

will increasingly come to know

Kensington as a place to see and buy

art as well as all of the other treasures

the market offers. It's something worth

working for.

Kensington Market DRUM: July/August ~97

~@Ju~®Uo

IT&i]QJJ©O©o

PLU~

BY SN BIANCA

Kensington's reputation is as

one of the most vibrant

entertainment areas in

Toronto--a febrile mix of

music, dance, restaurants,

nightClubs, and even the odd

booze can, all located in the

multi cultural heart of what is

probably the most

multicultural city in the

world (hey, the U. N. says

so.)

Here's a snapshot.

•The El Mocambo The El

Mocambo is undoubtedly one

of the Market's best known

clubs. The last time the

Stones were in Toronto there

were the usual "small club,

surprise gig" rumours. And

since the Stones had played

there eons ago there was a

rumour that they'd again be

playing at the venerable

venue.

The Elmo managed to get

close to a full page in the

other major Toronto paper

simply by denying that this

was the place for the

surprise show. They even

stated that Mick and Co.

wouldn't really be welcome.

They were a bit passe for the

place. Obviously, the Elmo

has a pedigree.

Our visit there Saturday,

July 5, coincided with "Punk

Town" , an evening of pure

punk - not quite as retro as

the Stones, but almost.

Most of the guys on

stage (and most of the

guys on stage were gqys)

were a pretty polished

gang, having been

thrashing-out this music

since they had to shave

their heads (there were a

lot of players for whom

the baldy look came

quite naturally.) And

some of those bass

guitars were a few inches

closer to the audience,

due to expanded guts. But,

oh the energy, oh the

hormones, oh the beer.

Slam dancing lives

•Hallelujah Kyomba, 155

Augusta (2nd floor)

Hallelujah Kyomba is one

of the places in the Market

where you can catch African

music. There's a mixture of

live music and DJs. When

the DRUM visited DJ

Geraldo was spinning some

very cool African tunes.

The place was packed with

one of the most exuberant

dance crowds you are likely

to find in Kensington.

Hallelujah Kyomba will be

hosting the post-Festival

party on July 27.

• The Lion's Den, 349A

College. A relative

newcomer to the Market, the

Lion's Den provides some of

the sharpest music in TO.

Hip hop and that slippery

stuff dominate the

programming. The Den

claims to offer the only live,

open mic hip hop jam in

Canada.

When the DRUM dropped

in Nat N.Y.C. (the N.Y.C.

is pronounced "nice") was -

on stage. What did she have

to say? "I send a call to all

MCs, minus skills and

delivery, think of me as hip

hop's female prodigy. " A.'ld

that. She may. Well be.

(This reporter claims little

familiarity with hip hop, but·

judging by the audience

reaction, Nat N.Y.C. is hot.)

Kenslnatori>MarketDRUM: .1July:/August '97

. _ Kensington over 40 years. In the beginning it was home to the garment

workers-full of piecework and seconds and rags and do-it-yourself and hand-me-downs. Fifties Kensington added

cluster of shops selling used clothing, furniture and other dry goods along side a few made-to-measure tailors.

Today, these elements still coexist (though "used" is as much statement as necessity). Vintage clothing, a long-time hiptrend,

is continually being discovered by new generations of clothing afficionados. The traditional "tailors," many still

on neighbouring Spadina, have their own modern-day version: with many up-and-coming designers stitching away,

on the funky atmosphere, the relatively low cost of living, and proximity to the fashion district.

Discount stores still pop up along the market's arteries, and faithful wholesalers with fifty year pedigrees remain along

Market's Spadina fringe.

This merry mix ensures that one can always find a bargain here - in every price range. As Tom Mihalik of Tom's Place,

a definitive kensington "draw", puts it: "Kensington has evolved. Today the customers still want good value, but they are

value."

Highlights from The Doctors Hospital 1996-199 7 Annual Report

I

n

this 1996/97 report to our community you will

see that Doctors Hospital staff have met the challenge

of healing in hard times; innovating to improve care

delivery; dedicating themselves to the "health" and

"human" care needs of their patients; and demonstrating

professionalism, courtesy, compassion and genuine caring

in the face of gr~at uncertainty and adversity.

Hospital staff have worked with our community to

reinvent Doctors Hospital into a true community hospital

of the future where common surgery cases are handled

more quickly and efficiently, emergency waiting times are

shorter and the wait lists for many services including

paediatric care have been significantly reduced.

The hospital ended the year with a

balanced budget and made great gains

in both program and community

development. Five new ambulatory

clinics were opened to deal with Pain

Management, Arthritis, Chiropody

(foot care), Seniors Wellness and

Mood Disorders. A new Postpartum

Transition Clinic provides follow up

care for new moms and babies after discharge.

These new services meet community health

needs. Equally important they meet language,

cultural and other "human care" needs as well . .

The Child Health Unit opened a new Paediatric

Asthma Education Program and expanded Neurodevelopment,

Speech Pathology, Sports Medicine

and Paediatric Surgery, increasing access to these

much needed services for children in the community.

By becoming highly specialized in day surgery,

Doctors Hospital has also been able to respond more

quickly and more efficiently to the surgical needs

of its community.

Many hospital programs take health expertise

"beyond the walls" to where

people live and socialize.

Through the Seniors Wellness

service seniors can have their

blood pressure taken without

leaving their homes and be

referred to a doctor if needed.

Joint hospital and community projects include a

community kitchen that supports improved nutrition in

our neighbourhood and an adolescent project that looks after

the health needs of youth. ·

Hospital and community have also worked together

to create a new Health Resource and Wellness Centre that

will open this summer in the Queen West Community

Health Centre. There is a shared commitment, between

Doctors Hospital, community health centres and social

service agencies, to working better together to improve the

health, well being and quality of life for the populations

ofWest Toronto.

S

ince the Health Service Restructuring

Commission's intention to close Doctors Hospital

was made public on March 6th, 1997, more than

15,000 individuals, community groups and professional

health organizations have signed petitions and/or written

letters or submissions to the Commission in support

of keeping Doctors Hospital open and dedicated to

community care.

The hospital's Community Advisory Committee

mounted a public campaign to protest the closure.

Doctors Hospital submitted a formal appeal that provided

clarification and vital information not addressed in the

Commission's deliberations for Doctors

Hospital. The evidence shows that the strong~~..,.·

case, based on the Commission's own criteria

of quality, access and affordability, exists for

keeping a distinct, purpose built Doctors

Hospital Ambulatory Care Centre at the Western Site with

separate governance and separate funding.

Protest and resistance to the Commission's re~tructuring

directions is growing across Ontario. A key focus of this

opposition is the need to protect the value of community

hospital care as an essential, and cost effective, part of the

future integrated delivery system.



~ - ~-·- ,...~



There is no doubt that the hospital

system must change to cope with

increased demand and no additional

operating dollars. The Doctors Hospital

ambulatory care centre is a new hospital

model that takes advantage of new

technologies to ensure the community

receives the right care in the right place at the

right time and for the right price. Many experts

have declared that innovative community care

alternatives such as The Doctors Hospital should be

emulated not eliminated in the health system of the future.

To the battle weary on the front lines of health care

there seems to be no end in sight to the plunder 'and rhetoric

of hospital restructuring. Those of us who believed we knew

what hospitals do and what makes them essential to our

communities have seen the meaning of hospital anatomized

into "cost savings", "clinical efficiencies", "critical mass" and

"geographical proximity".

In the name of progress the true essence and value of

hospital- the professional practice of good medicine and

the compassionate care of the sick in a healthy and healing

environment- is in danger of being lost. In this report there

are excellent examples of community care at its best and

healthy change in community care, evidence that reform

does not have to sacrifice the quality and integrity of the good

hospital care we value today.

,, ::::::::aa

I

n the coming months The Doctors Hospital staff will ·

be challenged to continue the healing while they

themselves are anxious and hurting. Our primary

focus is the care of our patients, and our 1997/98

Operating Plan, submitted to the Ministry of Health,

will guide us in the delivery of our services.

The hospital will also work with its community to

champion their right to dedicated community care that

meets local needs; advocating now, as it has in the past,

for the preservation of access, affordability and quality.

The fight will be a passionate and highly public one.

If the hospital's appeal is not successful, it is fully prepared

to take legal action to protect and preserve the value of

needs-based, community health care in Central Toronto.

We gratefully acknowledge all those in the community,

in government and within the Board, hospital and medical

staff who have spoken on the Doctors Hospital's behalf. We

recognize the leadership role of the Community Advisory

Committee in mounting an effective campaign that's given

this community an opportunity to act and to make its

voice heard. We applaud the front line hospital workers for

their unwavering focus on what matters most, the care of

their patients. There is great courage and conviction

behind the fight for the survival of Doctors Hospital.

The future of community health care

is worth fighting for!

I by Luca Perlman

[ Hi, it's Luca. This time I'm going to tell you

i about summer' citypets. What should you do

i different and what the same?

: First, cats. No much difference, except of

i course fleas. Cat owners should ask what's a

: good flea collar and spray. Whatever you use

! needs to be residual which means it doesn't on(y

1 knock down adult fleas but sticks around to zap

I th::Jgd~:.~ef~e~:~:t~~~ut one flea. There are

: fleas .in the world.

! Second dogs. Or any pet for that matter.

: Remember leaving them in a car with the

! windows shut all the way can kill in the summer.

j The inside of your car can be nearly twice the

j temperature outside.

: Fish you really need to watch. Shade is a must.

! And you -have to keep their water temperature

j down to what's normal. One way is to hang a

\ bucket with a hole in the bottom to slow drip.

: Keep the bucket topped with cold water.

1 Birds, Mike at the animal house says are the

i biggest "no problem" pet in the summer.

' "Doesn't make any difference for them, he says.

Last? Turtles. Turtles LOVE sunshine. Make

sure they are getting a good blast of sun through

the window and have a big enough flat rock to

bask on. They stretch their necks and all four

feet in the air, like they're floating on their

bottom shell.

Community Placement:

1r from Ryerson Public School

This past spring three students from a

neighbourhood school came to work at the

DRUM, one afternoon a week. Among all the

other things they did helping out with our office,

they found time to write this page.

Working with DRUM

BY LATOYA DELL, KRYSTLE ROWE

AND IMAN AMIN

Hi, our names are Latoya, Krystle and Iman. We

are in grade 6 at Ryerson community public

school on Denison Ave. Every Friday we come

to DRUM to work here for community

placement. About forty sttudents from our SGhool

do it, at different places.

Community placement is a time to come and do

stuff for our community. So we came here.

We came here because we enjoy working on

the DRUM, doing articles, pasting up, quizzes

and other stuff as well.

My (Krystle's) favourite stuff was making up

quizzes. Iman.'s favourite was doing a survey on

what the different kids at our school like in

music. Latoya's favourite thing is figuring out

things to help us.

David and Masha at the DRUM said help them

out by coming up with ideas that kids our age

would enjoy. So we did the quiz that's here.

What have we learned? to work as a group,

more computer skills, how to make good

questions for quizzes. We help DRUM talk about

the community.

Last

Time We

Reported

•that the incinerator at

Toronto Western was now

"plugged for good"

Surrender of their licence is

the last formality we 're

waiting for '

•That there were signs of

spring and signs of hope in

the market, battered by four

years of recession and LRT

related disruption

See Market Buzz, p.8

•That two York University

students have been working

with merchants and residents

on south Kensington to get a

pedestrian mall going

They'll have a prototype in

place at the street festival. See

Glimpse, page 5

•That the Ward 5 Save Our

City campaign would be

joining the Citizen's legal

challenge against Megacity.

• Phone the City of Toronto

Megacity Hotline at 392-

7833.

•That many downtown school

programs would be in danger

if Bill104 the "fewer School

Boards " act is passed.

Yes. Full report in the

September DRUM

•That Niagara and Alexandra

Park Health Care centres are

on the move to a brand new

building at 168 Bathurst.

They had a wonderful

"housewarming " June 13,

including tours of their new

building. Go see for yourself.

•That the pre- and post natal

clinic at Doctors Hospital is a

good resource for women

wanting to resist the "formula

pushers" long enough to give

breast feeding a real chance.

Programs like this that won't

stand a chance if Doctors is

swallowed by TTH.

•That there is now a

landlord-tenant mediation

Project at St Stephen's to try

avoiding avoid having

landlord tenant conflict end

up in court.

KENSINGTON'S

GATEWAYS

GET WELCOME

FACELIFT

BY ALMA PENN

In an open competition held by the

TIC two local artists, Shirley

Yanover and David Hlynsky were

selected to execute two "Community

Markers" at the main Spadina

entrance points to the market-

Baldwin and St. Andrew Street.

The towering twenty foot sculptures

are part of a program of public art

tied to the Spadina LRT opening

which, on completion, will feature

over 20 individual art installations

along Spadina A venue.

Ffom a purely pragmatic point of

view, the St. Andrew and Baldwin

sculptures will serve as a convenient

means of orientation for LRT riders

looking to get off for some _

Kensington shopping, but they will

doubtless strike a deeper chord than

that with many Kensington folk ..

Y anover and Hlynsky wanted their

designs to be truly reflective of the

Kensington Market spirit. So, rather

than slick glass and stainless steel thingies,

the artists strove to execute pieces that had a

"funky, handmade" look to them. And they

spent weeks roaming the Market, sampling

and photographing and soaking in the

Kensington "vi be".

"To MARKET, To MARKET"

Standing at the corner of Spadina and

Baldwin will be a work entitled "To

Market, To, Market". The sculpture is a six

foot diameter brilliant blue earth with

bronze continents, circled by a ring of

highly coloured ikons representing various

aspects of Kensington Market - the food, the

fashions and the communities. And below

the globe is a beautufully wrought sign

saying Kensington, for those who miss the

symbolism.

One of the original ideas suggested to the

artists for this installation was a sign saying

"Kensington Market" in all the market's

languages. While this was rejected as

impractical - there are just too many

different languages that change on almost

daily basis as different communities move

through the market, as they have done for

years, Yanover and Hlynsky decided that

the same idea could be captured through

universals: a loaf of bread representing the

Market's bakeries and an accompanying

bagel suggesting the Jewish community

that has been part of Kensington for so

long.

ONE, FISH TWO FISH, RED FISH BLUE

FISH. YANOVEDR, HLYNSKYAND IKON

"HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN"

Marking the corner of St. Andrew St. Cat is

a companion sculpture. depicting a cat

- perhaps the most definitive image of the

Market- standing on a kitchen chair. The

chair stands on a three foot diameter disc

painted the same blue as the Baldwin St.

globe - as if a section had been

sliced from the centre of the globe -- a

means of tying the two pieces together.

The impact of the two pieces, a short block

apart is to bring home to the world passing

by that Kensington is both a place of

commerce and a neighbourhood.

END IN SITE

Shirley and David began work on the

project last September and it has

taken almost a year to see it through to

completion. David says, "the public art

process is like an obstacle course." But the

end is definitely in sight. The pair expect

the pieces to be in place in time for the

Friday July 25 Kensington Festival launch.

In typical Kensington style, there are plans

to weave those sculptures into the festival

kickoff--and Yanover and Hlynsky will be

there. But don't expect an unveiling! The

Kensington way is to treat fine newcomers

as old friends. Cat and globe will be treated

like old friends!

Este Verao esta a ser bastante ocupado e excitante para a

nossa comunidade, corn muitas coisas a acontecerem e a

Em "Talking DRUM," pagina 2, os editores oferecemnos

Doctors Hospital e Toronto Hospital por controlarem os

cuidados comunitarios neste local; e o novo piano para

Brown College.

A cerea dos dois hospitais, nos dizemos que se os

programas do Doctors Hospital tern que ser retirados de

Brunswick para o Toronto Western Hospital para se

poupar dinheiro, esta hem. M as que mantenham as

pessoas do Doctors Hospital a controlar o dinheiro
