Once
again, Puppets Up! was a truly magical event. With two wonderful
parades, countless performances in tents, storefronts and streets
with a bonus of a jam-packed Cabaret on Saturday night, Puppets
Up is becoming the nexus of a true revival of interest in puppetry.
People are working all over the province, country and world producing
works of art to move, amaze and delight. Plan to be there next
year! |

How Things Work Underwater
September 5 - 27, 2009
LOOP GALLERY

Richard
Mongiat's How Things Work Underwater is a painterly dive into
an imaginary watery world - think of Carlos Castaneda and Jacques
Cousteau sharing a picnic on the ocean floor. After watching
Werner Herzog's documentary "Encounters at the End of the
World" with it's beautiful and bizarre underwater footage
I realized that my tendency of building layers of compiled shapes
and imagery was a perfect match for the teeming world of sea
creatures and plant life. Working with larger, clumsier brushes
I was looking for a clunk-ier approach to the shapes being depicted
and to the application of paint in general. I even changed the
way I normally hold my brushes. And although I allowed my whimsy
free reign, can anything really compare to the strange beauty
of a seahorse?

A residents'
group called Fuzzy Boundaries has initiated a naming process
for the area. You are invited to our second lively discussion
about neighbourhood identities on Tuesday, September 15 at
7 p.m. at St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Church (110 Franklin
Avenue). Urban affairs specialist, CBC broadcaster and National
Director of the annual Jane Jacobs Walk, Jane Farrow will
discuss the naming experience of the West Queen West community
group Active 18. Fuzzy Boundaries member Chris Kwaczek will
also speak about neighbourhood demographics.
A Q & A will follow. All are welcome to attend this free
event.
For details call Kevin at 416-537-1128 or visit fuzzyboundaries.ca
where discussions about our great neighbourhood take place
online.

| Mark
your calendars!
The HUMAN TRAIN FOR CLEAN AIR will roll through communities
along the tracks on
Saturday, September 26, 2009.
Plan now to hop on board the Human Train to send a message
to Premier McGuinty that he must act now to scrap plans
to run hundreds of polluting diesel trains a day through
our neighbourhoods, and direct Metrolinx to use only clean,
quiet electric trains for any expansion of rail traffic
along the Georgetown corridor.
The Route of the Human Train
· The Human Train will get rolling in Weston at
8:30 am with “Whistle Stops” in a number of
communities along the way.
· The Human Train will arrive in Sorauren Park
at 1:00 pm for the Main Rally of the day!
· At 2:30, the Human Train will leave Sorauren
Park for a parade through Queen West.
· Further details on times and locations will be
coming soon!
We urge everyone from every neighbourhood to join us at
SORAUREN PARK for the main event at 1:00 pm. We will all
gather together in the largest park beside the railway
tracks to demonstrate the strength of our demand that
the provincial government ensure that only clean public
transit is built in our city.
Here’s how YOU can help.
1. Volunteer to help get the word out about the Human
Train.
Contact info@cleantrain.ca. Let us know what neighbourhood
you are in. Volunteers are needed for leafleting, postering,
making signs, and helping to organize events.
2. Bring people with you on September 26th.
Talk to your family, friends and neighbours about the
event and bring them with you on September 26. Talk it
up! Phone around and use your networks and email lists
to spread the word. All aboard for what promises to be
a very exciting day!
3. Make a financial contribution.
There are a lot of expenses involved with organizing a
Human Train. You can help by sending a cheque made out
to the Clean Train Coalition, c/o 1974 Weston Road, Weston
ON M9N 1W2.
If you have any questions or want to join the Human Train
organizing and outreach effort, contact us today at info@cleantrain.ca.
We will only win this fight if we all join in so we look
forward to hearing from you!
