Folk fest director hanging it up
Summerfolk artistic director won't return after this summer
By Bill HENRY
A search begins this week for the next Summerfolk artistic director.
Liz HARVEY-
FOULDS, heading into her second festival this summer,
has told the Georgian Bay Folk Society board she won't apply
to renew her two-year contract.
Trying to program the music festival from her home near Thunder
Bay has been frustrating and difficult while teaching high school
full-time,
HARVEY-
FOULDS said in an interview Saturday.
When she took over the part-time contract position in the fall
of 2004 from Don
BIRD, who resigned after a dispute with the
board, HARVEY-
FOULDS was teaching part-time and planned to relocate
to Owen Sound and teach school here. She said she gave that idea
up after realizing she would lose seniority and have no job security.
“I've agonized and tossed and turned over this,”
HARVEY-
FOULDS
said as folk society volunteers set up for the annual Last Chance
Saloon concert and competitive audition for a main stage slot
this summer.
HARVEY-
FOULDS said the working relationship with the board has
been “terrific,” there's no controversy around her departure
and she regrets leaving after such a short time.
Folk society president Pam
HEARN-
ERB said the board appreciated
HARVEY-
FOULDS' early notice, which came weeks ago but was to
be made public in a media release today. No public announcement
was to be made Saturday during the Last Chance Saloon, which
also serves as a volunteer recognition party.
“I think Liz has been good for us. She had big shoes to fill
and we think she filled them well,”
HEARN-
ERB said.
“As a board we're totally fine with it. We appreciated her honesty
and we certainly appreciated her being here. We think she's been
really good for the organization.&rdquo
HARVEY-
FOULDS has programmed the Red Rocks folk festival for
several years as a volunteer, and plans to continue that. Her
first Summerfolk lineup was the 30th annual last August.
She assumed the role with a goal and a mandate to return the
event to its folk roots. She brought back mostly favourite acts
from the festival's history, with a mix of newer, younger folk
artists and a few veterans who had never played Summerfolk.
She said her plan then, and again this year, was to gather musicians
who knew one another or could work well enough together to mix
up entertaining and spontaneous music at the informal workshops,
which are more vital to the festival's success than spotlight
evening performances, she said.
“I tried not to focus on trying to prove anything to anybody,
because there was a lot of pressure I realized after the event
on me to prove that I could do it. I decided not to think about
that, but instead to think about a celebration of the festival's
past and the strengths of the community and making the weekend
a really wonderful experience.&rdquo
She said she was justifiably criticized by some last year for
hiring too few women, not enough country musicians, and especially
not enough world music. She's fixed that this year with a lineup
announced Saturday night which includes African guitarists, several
Cuban and Latin jazz groups, a long list of women songwriters
and singers, and several country music performers.
The lineup for the August 18, 19 and 20 festival at Kelso Beach
includes:
Plenty of Cuban, African and Latin American acts for world music
fans, including The African Guitar, Jane Bunnett and her band
of Cuban and Canadian jazz players, a 12-piece band from Cuba,
the Latin Jazz band Flamenco Caravan, and Latin jazz singer Eliana
Cuevas.
Prairie Oyster and Alan Rhody from Nashville for country fans.
A long list of women including Juno winner Lynn Miles, Mae Moore
with Lester Quitzau, blues singer Rita Chiarelli, The Anne Lindsay
Band, and Fig for A Kiss, featuring Sahra Featherstone.
Songwriters Bill Bourne; Alex Sinclair of Tamarack; Ottawa-area
newcomer Brock
ZEEMAN; and both Steve
DICKINSON and David
SEREDA
from the Owen Sound area, as well as Walkerton's Richard
KNECHTEL.
Groups include East Coast rockers and award winners Chucky Danger,
the Appalachian and Celtic influenced New England trio Crooked
Still and Winnipeg's D. Rangers, who mix Bluegrass and western
swing with a punk rock attitude.
Rob Elder and Friends, with Pete Devlin and Joel Morelli, who were
clear crowd favourites to win a main stage slot with their 15-minute
Last Chance Saloon performance Saturday night. It was the second
time Elder has won the event.
Georgian Bay Folk Society policies require the board to advertise
the artistic director position every two years. Advertisements
will go out immediately with plans to fill the position by June
and have both new and current artistic directors at this year's
festival for a smooth transition.
Both the director and the president said Saturday there are clear
and obvious advantages for whoever programs the festival to reside
in the local community.
“I don't want to say that they should hire someone who lives
in the community. That's not my place to say,”
HARVEY-
FOULDS
said. “I don't think it's necessary to run the festival for the
person to be here, but for me, if I'm the artistic director I
need to be here. I need to be part of the community.&rdquo
When it became clear moving to Owen Sound was off, she said she
bowed out of the position.
HEARN-
ERB believes the job should go to someone living in the
area.
“But that's not necessarily what the board will decide to do,&rdquo
she said Saturday. “I think it's important to be involved in
the community. Summerfolk is a community event. It really is
and I think it's important for the person that's in charge of
that aspect of it to understand the community.&rdquo
Only three of more than 30 candidates to replace
BIRD were Grey-Bruce
residents.
BIRD lives in Toronto but was originally from Owen Sound and
maintained a local connection during his 10-year tenure and was
able to attend almost every board meeting,
HEARN-
ERB said.

Bernard OSTRY, 78, played key culture role
By Canadian Press, Thurs., May 25, 2006
Toronto -- Bernard
OSTRY, one of the most creative public servants
of his generation, died of cancer yesterday at 78.
Stylish, intellectual and visionary, he helped shape the country's
cultural infrastructure as a government official in Ottawa and
Toronto and, late in his career, as head of
TVOntario.
His recent gifts to the Royal Ontario Museum and the University
of Toronto's Massey College stand to enrich Toronto's cultural
life for years to come.
High Style: The Ostry Collection at the Royal Ontario Museum
was published last fall to catalogue the rich Art Deco and Art
Nouveau furniture collection
OSTRY and his wife, Sylvia, donated
to the museum.
"The Ostry collection was really what justified us being able
to create an all-new gallery on 20th-century design," Royal Ontario
Museum director William
THORSELL said yesterday, of a space to
open next year.
Massey College established the Bernard Ostry Foundation 1½ years
ago with $500,000 from paintings
OSTRY sold at auction.
At high school in Winnipeg,
OSTRY met his future wife, Sylvia
KNELMAN.
They studied at the University of Manitoba, did post-
graduate work in England, then took up senior public service
posts in Ottawa.
In 1970, OSTRY became assistant under-secretary of state, credited
with being the chief architect of a number of multicultural initiatives
under then prime minister Pierre Trudeau.
He later was secretary-general to the National Museums of Canada,
deputy minister of communications and Paris-based special adviser
to western Europe on culture and communications technology.
In a parallel career, Sylvia
OSTRY served as head of the Economic
Council of Canada and a director of the Paris-based Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development.
"They made a very unusual and potent combination," said Allan
Gotlieb, former Canadian ambassador to Washington.
In 1985, after serving as deputy minister in three Ontario ministries,
OSTRY took charge of
TVO.
For seven years, he directed the educational
channel's huge growth in international deals and became one of
the country's most eloquent defenders of public broadcasting.
