It was one filled with the triumph of an anniversary reached, with tasks completed and accomplishments greeted. It was one also of saying goodbye to trusted friends and members and one of welcoming new visitors and those who are discovering the Ukrainian Museum of Canada and its Branches for the very first time. The Museum hosted five exhibitions including from Here to There the visual art of Parksville, British Columbia artist Fay St. Marie, the stunning Pysanky Mosaic work of Winnipeg, Manitoba artist David Wasylyshen, the return of the superb artifact collection of Winnipeg, Manitoba collector Leonard Krawchuk in the Heart and Soul of a Collector, the multi-media, national collaborative exhibition of Art by 9 in Self Portraiture, and the final exhibition of the year which continues until February 20, Picasso My Way featuring the artwork of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan visual artist Valerie Borycki. A lovely spring evening brought a large crowd to hear author Myrna Kostash do a selection of readings from her newest book The Prodigal Daughter: a Return to Byzantium. Spring also saw hundreds of children and adults visit the Museum to participate in the very popular Pysanka (Easter egg) workshops. Summer saw four of the five branches of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Saskatoon Headquarters, Alberta branch, Calgary Collection, Manitoba branch, and Ontario branch participate in meetings at the Biennial conference of the Ukrainian Self Reliance League held in Edmonton, Alberta. This summer the Saskatoon Branch was visited by former Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada, Ihor Ostash and his delegation celebrating the 120 th Anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada and other visitors from every corner of the globe. Autumn brought great excitement and anticipation as the Museum prepared for its 75 th Anniversary celebration in conjunction with the 95 th Anniversary weekend celebrations of Petro Mohyla Institute. An overflow crowd filled the galleries of the Museum on the evening of September 26, 2011 as a blessing was given by the Very Reverend Taras Makowsky and Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi the Right Reverend ProtopresbyterVictor Lakusta, Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. Four candles were carried to represent: the original founders of the Museum (Marie Kishchuk), the volunteers and members (Sonia Mysak), the donors and supporters (Olga Kaye), and the future members and donors (Stephanie Ortynsky). J-A Chabun The winter months brought our thoughts to Christmas and all that we are thankful for. The Yalynka Christmas tribute campaign brought in over $15,000.00 that will be used towards children’s programming this spring. The Museum Board approved the launch of the Tree of Life Fundraising Campaign, one of the biggest projects of its kind that we have undertaken in recent years. Earlier in 2011, a fundraising survey was conducted with a random sampling of Ukrainian Museum of Canada stakeholders which helped us plan the fundraising campaign. We will be implementing and considering the suggestions that the survey brought us about what members, donors, and stakeholders wish to see our Museum be. The initial goal is to raise $500,000.00 to meet immediate infrastructure and operating goals and $2,000,000.00 in long term legacy gifts and bequests. We are very excited to announce that Senator Raynell Andreychuk is the Honourary Chair of the Tree of Life Fundraising Campaign and Sonia Mysak is the Campaign Chair. We are honoured and very excited that these two dynamic women feel that 1 this Museum and this Campaign are worthy of their time and energy. The Museum has hired Doreen (Michayluk) Howlett on a one year contract as Development Co-ordinator to assist with the Fundraising Campaign. You will hear more about her and her work in the next issue of Museum News. We look to the coming year with great excitement! The Tree of Life Campaign will bring the Museum to the forefront of our thoughts as we provide for the future of this institution and all that it contains, all that it teaches and all that it learns. We have a devoted group of board members, volunteers and employees that are committed to the success of the Museum’s mission and that are committed to providing for that future. Our vision has never been clearer, our hearts never more dedicated and our faith never stronger. Join us as we continue on this journey together committed to the legacy of the first Ukrainian immigrants to Canada as exemplified by the story that still needs to be told. We hope that we will see or hear from you soon! Janet C. Prebushewsky Danyliuk Director and Chief Executive Officer Museum Recipient of Bequest The Ukrainian Museum of Canada was the grateful recipient of a bequest from the Estate of Ola Martyn (Olha Martynyk). We wrote about Ola Martyn in the summer 2010 Museum News and the collection of photographs and documents that she had donated to the Museum at that time. Sadly, Ola passed away November 6, 2010 but not before generously leaving 2 the majority of her Estate to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada which was near to her heart. Ola was born in Lviv, Western Ukraine in 1924. Her family was of Ukrainian origin. Her father owned a small soap making factory which sold its product through the Ukrainian co-operative movement at the time. She lost her mother and an older sister at the age of ten – a traumatic experience for a child. The grandfather of Ola served as a field chaplain for Ukrainian soldiers during World War I. Her uncle became a petroleum engineer, and during the 1920’s and 1930’s did some pioneering exploration work for various oil companies in the Middle East and later in Romania, Germany and Western Ukraine, a profession and field in which there were practically no Ukrainians at the time. Ola grew up in Lviv in a bilingual milieu during Polish, Soviet and German occupation in the 1930’s and early 1940’s. She was sent to Ukrainian language schools and completed her primary education in Lviv and Peremyshl. In 1944 their house in Lviv was bombed by Soviet planes, after which they decided to leave to the West before the second arrival of the Soviet troops. Eventually Ola found herself a refugee in the city of Klagenfurt, Austrian province of Carinthia, where she stayed until the end of World War II. Ola was artistically inclined and in 1945-47, she was able to enrol in the faculty of architecture at the Polytechnique in the city of Graz, Eastern Austria. But the post-war circumstances did not allow her to finish her studies. Early in 1948 she decided to emigrate to start a new life in Canada. Arriving in Montreal, she held a number of jobs which were available to newcomers. In spare time, she upgraded her knowledge of the official languages. She worked as comptometer operator in Museum News various firms in Montreal and Toronto prior to working for the Alberta government for a brief time. Ola was a private person. After her arrival in Saskatoon in 1958, Ola dedicated her abilities and time to writing poetry in Ukrainian and English and to painting and ceramics. She joined writers’ and artists’ clubs. Her other interests were in natural healing, alternative medicine and healthy living. She was involved in the anti-smoking movement long before it was officially recognized as a health hazard. She corresponded widely, promoting a healthy lifestyle. Her interest in natural medicine took her to the Dominion Herbal College from which she obtained diplomas. Locally, she volunteered for a number of years to work for Home Care. Another passion of Ola’s was travel. She travelled extensively in the United States, Hawaii, Mexico, the South Pacific, Polynesia, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Western Europe and the Mediterranean. In 1981 she visited Soviet Ukraine where she was able to connect with former school friends. She became an amateur photographer and left many pictures of various exotic places, as well as many archival photographs to the collection of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Ola was very proud of her Ukrainian origin and supported various Ukrainian organizations, cultural and charitable institutions in Canada and helped her friends in Ukraine. Her frail health prevented her from being more active in the Ukrainian community; however, she willed her entire estate to Ukrainian cultural and charitable institutions in Canada. Ola Martyn left the Ukrainian Museum of Canada approximately $400,000.00 which will be used for gallery upgrading and partially invested in the Museum’s Foundation Fund. We are so extremely grateful for this generous gift and thankful to God for her life and works. May Her Memory be Eternal! Âi÷íà ¢¢ ïàì’ÿòü!

Approximately one hundred and fifty friends, members, volunteers and special guests joined to celebrate the present, and to recognize the foresight of the original founders and the diligent and dedicated work of the past 75 years. J-A Chabun The festivities began in the foyer of the Museum. A prayer service and blessing was conducted by Very Reverend Taras Makowsky and Right Reverend Protopresbyter Victor Lakusta, Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada after which Mnohaya Lita and Vichnaya Pamiat were sung. In the main gallery, UMC Director Janet Prebushewsky Danyliuk welcomed guests and introduced the emcee for the evening, UMC Board President Connie Senkiw. Greetings for the Anniversary were brought by His Worship Donald J. Atchison, Mayor of Saskatoon; Andy Iwanchuk, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Saskatoon Fairview; Ken Krawetz, Deputy Premier of Saskatchewan; Zennia Yuzik, Past President of the National Executive of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada; and, Steve Senyk, President of St. Petro Mohyla Institute Board of Directors. Mayor Atchison warmly recognized the activity of J-A Chabun 4 our community. “You really are making the city of Saskatoon in the province of Saskatchewan of the great nation of Canada truly a healthier, more vibrant place – a place of better understanding,” he said. One of the many people who contributed to spreading the understanding of the significance of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada and its place in the heritage of Canada is Jennie Ortynsky, Canora Saskatchewan. As past Chair of the Museum Board Saskatoon headquarters and in honour of her very significant contributions, Jennie was presented with an Honourary Life membership in the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Unable to attend the celebration, her granddaughter Stephanie Ortynsky, accepted the special recognition from UMC Vice-President Sonia Korpus. After the program, guests mingled while enjoying wine, cheese, anniversary cake and music played by Matthew Gruza and J-A Chabun Don Sawchuk. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada was founded in Saskatoon in 1936 by the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada. The first gallery space was opened to the public in 1941 at the St. Petro Mohyla Institute, located on Main Street in Saskatoon. In 1965, the collection was moved to the Institute’s current building on Temperance Street. The collection soon outgrew that space and, in May 1980, the new home at 910 Spadina Crescent East was officially opened. As Canada’s first Ukrainian museum, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada serves as a centre dedicated to the advancement of the knowledge and to the preservation of Ukrainian heritage in Canada. Its commitment to its original vision, heart and faith remains unchanged. This was a great occasion for celebration and very fitting that this was at a time in the cycle and beauty of the seasons that is so close to Canadian Thanksgiving.

Because a highlight of the convention would be an exhibit of 200 crèches, the Museum decided to set its own crèches in the context of Ukrainian traditions. Theirs was an exploration of the celebration of Christ’s nativity amongst Ukrainians. The Museum’s crèches are displayed against the depiction of a 19 th century Hutsul family preparing to share the Christmas Eve meal (Sviat Vechir). Traditions that harken back to pagan times take a new meaning: a child awaits the first star, a reminder of the star of Bethlehem, to begin the meatless, dairy-free meal; grandfather and grandson bring in a sheaf of wheat, a symbol of the family and a signal for all to gather at the table; an extra place setting Photo source: www.umcontario.com invites the departed to join the festive dinner and complete the family; hay placed under the white tablecloth reminds all present of Christ’s humble birthplace. Four very different crèches are featured in this exhibition – three from Ukraine and one a Canadian adaptation of an animated folk crèche with a two level stage and puppets. Also on display are original icons and photographs of nativity scenes that adorn the walls of four area churches. Finally, Christmas Eve as depicted by noted artists, a postage stamp featuring an icon of the Nativity and a coin stamped with joyful carollers was also shown. The exhibition was featured from November 11, 2011 to mid February 2012. It is hoped that the exhibit awakens the spirit of Christmas in all who visit. Christ is Born! Let us Glorify Him! Submitted by Yvonne Ivanochko,President Ukrainian Museum of Canada Ontario Branch In celebration of the 120 years of Ukrainian pioneer settlement in Canada, UMC Alberta Branch mounted an exhibition “Remembering Our Roots”, featuring artifacts from its collection together with photographic displays depicting life experiences and achievements of early Ukrainian settlers. The exhibition which ran from November 2-6, 2011 was viewed by approximately 700 individuals. Its primary objective was to present a narrative of early Ukrainian Canadian life in Central Eastern Alberta. Displaying artifacts held in the museum collection, the exhibition featured Ukrainian pioneer clothing, weaving and embroidery, household and farm implements, items brought with them and items made in Canada. In addition to ethnographic materials there was an extensive photographic display as part of the exhibition. A major contribution to the photographic display was “Journey to Canada”, a visual panorama illustrating the first decade of immigration created by the Kule Folklore Centre at the University of Alberta. Drawing upon and collaborating with other major resource centres enriched the exhibition beyond the museum resources alone. Given the success of this venture, the museum is looking to continue partnering with other organizations in future projects. The exhibition opened with UMC Alberta Branch president Elaine Verchomin Harasymiw drawing attention to the narrative element of this history. She pointed out that these pioneers have left a lasting legacy of which all Ukrainian Canadians can be proud. “Their experiences form a narrative which has changed the Canadian landscape politically, socially, economically, and culturally…their stories define our country and our lives as Canadians.” Guest speaker, former Premier of Alberta, Ed Stelmach spoke about stories he heard as a child growing up in this environment, noting that, in his view, the four mainstays of Ukrainian pioneer values were faith, family, community and education. Dr. Andrij Nahachewsky, Director of the Kule Folklore Centre, described how social isolation compelled Ukrainian settlers to band together and establish churches, schools, community halls and to nurture family bonds. Radomir Bilash, responsible for the Oleskow display spoke about the Alberta Ukraine Genealogical Project and its four major initiatives which are intended principally to make public and archival records more accessible to those wishing to research family history. The Ukrainian Canadian Folk Chorus under the direction of Lesia Pohoresky expressed the early era of Ukrainian Canadian history through song. 6 Museum News In keeping with the mandate of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, the intent of this exhibition was to make the general public aware of the contributions and achievements of Ukrainian settlers in Canada. The exhibit targeted youth, Ukrainian Canadian youth in particular, to nurture a connection and appreciation of their historical and cultural roots. Students studying Ukrainian in the Ukrainian Bilingual Program and Ukrainian as a Second Language Program were invited to the exposition to learn about this period in Canadian history with teacher-led tours, to view segments of Halya Kuchmij’s documentary film “Laughter in My Soul”, and to participate in hands-on educational activities. Approximately 500 students viewed this exhibition. Experience with this exhibit has opened up new ideas and directions for UMC Alberta future exhibitions in 2016, a benchmark recognizing the 125th Anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch looks forward to working with all interested parties in launching an even larger, more ambitious venture.

I can’t. But he said, ‘I am always doing the things I cannot do. That is how I get to do them.’ So, I am simply doing this thing I cannot do. Picasso died on my twenty fifth birthday. He was 92. Now decades later, I am totally absorbed by the man, his words, and his works. I am soaking up Picasso…and I imagine that he is painting with my brush. As he said, ‘everything you can imagine is real.’ Welcome to Picasso my way. Imagine and enjoy.” Borycki, an artist of Ukrainian and Polish heritage, is currently Artist in Residence at the Museum and has been working with school children (who created ‘Valerie my way’) and the public during the course of her exhibition. This is not the first time her work has been featured at the Museum; in 2003 she created a virtually sold out exhibition entitled Borycki’s Baba’s. Picasso My Way continues until February 20, 2012. Refreshments will be served PICASSO MY WAY The work of Saskatoon artist Valerie Borycki is currently showing in the feature gallery of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Picasso My Way is Ms. Borycki’s tribute to master Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).) She spent over a year immersing herself in a study of his work and style. Inspired by this ingenious artist, Valerie altered his paintings with her own vision and created her own version. The more she read about Picasso, the more she began to admire his skills and the transitions that are evident in his work. 8 Museum News BUILT WITH FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE: Early Saskatchewan Ukrainian Churches The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is pleased to announce the opening of Built with Faith, Hope and Love: Early Saskatchewan Ukrainian Churches on March 6, 2012. This exhibition features the sensitive photography of Wynyard, Saskatchewan photographer Ed Stachyruk. The small rural Churches shown in this collection have seen the extremes of climate and the full range of human emotion over the past 100 years. They were built with local materials such as poplar logs, clay, and stones based on the traditional concepts of Ukrainian church design. As a result, each Church developed its own individual character, externally as well as internally, based on the needs of the people, the resources available, and the experience and talent of local builders. Mr. Stachyruk wished to photograph these interiors while the Churches are still in an active state, even if a service is held only once a year. The icons and related items are still in their usual places, ready to assist in the roles for which these Churches were originally built.

Motanky: traditional Ukrainian magical dolls When we say or hear the word “doll”, we usually imagine or imply a modern child’s toy. However, the motanky are actually a unique, complex, and remarkably interesting historical and cultural phenomenon which surely deserves our attention. The art of making motanky dates back thousands of years, so we can only imagine how important it is for Ukrainians as a historic item and what artistic value it contains. Even more amazing is the sacral meaning which our forefathers attached to these handmade dolls, and that deep sense is concealed inside them. Century after century, mothers taught their children to make motanka dolls, not only as a plaything, but also, and primarily, as a powerful talisman of the whole kin, the symbol of happiness, welfare and peace. People have always believed that these dolls can expel all evil from the house and help overcome hardships and illnesses. Of course, the contemporary people’s faith is often times of a different kind: the world around us does not look as mysterious as it did to our ancestors. Nevertheless, most of us, despite the diversity of religious convictions, believe in the wonderfulness and sacredness of life’s sensory dimensions; we believe that the energy, directed to others and received in return is eternal. Our Ukrainian ancestors believed everything about these dolls were magical; the colours of thread, the organic stuffing and its name. The motanka is made with a winding technique which the word motanka indicates. Knots were not used because they “tied your fate”. Scissors were not used and threads were ripped. Stuffing was made from grass, grains or herbs such as wild rosemary, a symbol of prosperity and good health. It was believed that with the aid of these dolls, people sought protection from the higher forces or entreated them 11 for their help. The doll is used as a talisman and certain rules are always followed by the artist. The doll cannot have a face just a cross made out of threads. This is explained by the ancient belief that the human face is a reflection of the soul- it should only take in the artist’s truthfulness and good wishes. The cross is a symbol of the sun, hence – of light, warmth and joy. Besides, vertical and horizontal lines of the cross symbolize the masculinity and femininity respectively, and their harmonic combination ensures successful continuation of kin. A variety of motanky which were made in Ukraine by Zhanna Kapshuk are available in the Museum gift shop from $20 to $125. conditions leave her severely malnourished and emotionally traumatized.

Established in 2009 by Carissa Klopoushak and Jacqueline Woods, Saskatoon’s Ritornello Chamber Music Festival is an annual event which showcases young, Canadian musicians who are currently pursuing professional careers across the country and around the globe. The festival’s mandate is to provide Saskatchewan audiences the opportunity to hear superior quality musicians, with special attention to those who were born and raised in the Prairies. They seek to expose a more diverse audience to chamber music and to provide educational opportunities, such as master classes and lessons, to young “up and coming” Saskatchewan musicians. Ritornello Fest is a nonprofit organization supported by donations, ticket sales and grants, and the only one of its kind in the Province. Ritornello Chamber Music Festival presents Boundary Ensemble One night only Saturday, June 2, 2012 Ukrainian Museum of Canada Main Gallery Doors open 7:00 p.m. Concert 8:00 p.m. For more information, visit: www.ritornello.ca or call 242-2753 Follow RitornelloFest on Facebook and Twitter. widowed mother Tsia, and her sister Anne, husband Alexander Hydichuk and daughter Eva. In Chernivtsi they boarded the train to the port from where they sailed on the S.S.Assyria arriving in Halifax on June 18, 1903. From Halifax they went by train to Yorkton later in July and then arrived by horse and a small wagon on Olga’s uncle’s farm. They were reunited with Olga’s grandfather, George Marianchuk. They lived in a small mud plastered house until autumn sleeping on dry hay. George and Mary Marianchuk are buried at Westbrook cemetery near Theodore, Saskatchewan. Veronia Yarmie, Olga Kaye’s mother, was the eldest child in George and Mary’s family and spent her days looking after her younger brothers and sisters while her parents worked at clearing the land and digging seneca roots for a livelihood. She did not have the opportunity to go to school. At an early age she learned to do domestic work and was known for making a five foot by two and a half foot tapestry at the age of 13. We are honoured to be the new home for these two beautiful portraits of a mother and her daughter and we look forward to being able to share more of their story in an exhibition at a later date. Thank you, Olga for this generous donation! RECENT ACQUISITION FAREWELL TO A FRIEND The Museum was the recent recipient of two portraits from Olga Kaye, Saskatoon. A long time supporter of the Museum, Olga (and her late husband Ludwig) have given numerous artifacts to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada throughout the years and we are please to add these two items and a poyas (woven belt) to our permanent collection. In the portrait on the left, Olga’s grandmother Mary Marianchuk is depicted. Mary immigrated to Canada in 1903 from their village of Waliva, Bukovina with her four children, including Olga’s mother Veronia, Mary’s We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of David Alexander Mysak on February 17, 2011 at the age of 64. A long time friend and supporter of the Museum, Dave was a devoted volunteer and mentor. We will miss his advice, his wisdom and his candour. Dave uncorked many a bottle of wine at Museum special events and openings, his smile was infectious and his gentleness, a treasure. He gave of his time to not only the Ukrainian Museum of Canada and its numerous committees, but also to the River Heights Community Association, Vesna Festival, Yevshan Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi 13 Dancers, Persephone Theatre, Folkfest, All Saint’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Parish Bratsvo (Brotherhood), Mohyla Institute, Ukrainian Canadian Business Professional Association, and Ilarion Residence. Dave was devoted to his family and especially to his wife, Museum Fundraising Campaign Chair and Board member, Sonia (Harasym). Should we all be so blessed to have someone love us the way Dave and Sonia loved each other. He was blessed with three children and four grandchildren for whom his pride and love knew no bounds. Dave will be dearly missed and his place in our community never filled, but his smile and work will live on through his generous and selfless acts. May his dear family and friends find strength and peace in the love of each other and in the fact that many people share in your grief. Memory Eternal. Âi÷íàÿ ïàì’ÿòü!
