2 Fall 2016 St. Michael’s From Founders House

A Tale of Two Installations

ecent weeks have seen us host two distinct but not unrelated installations on the St. Mike’s campus. The first, which saw us rededicate a wonderful and deeply Rsignificant painting (shown on the cover of this issue), was at the very heart of a series of events honouring Marshall McLuhan. That great, globally relevant teacher and writer, who shaped how we have come to think about the interplay of communications, technology and society, was a member of our St. Michael’s community from the 1940s until his death in 1980. Our retrospective includes an audiovisual exhibition in the Kelly Library commemorating McLuhan as a member of our community, zeroing in with special focus on his time on campus. We also hosted a talk by the American writer Paul Elie, who helped to situate McLu- han in the context of other major 20th century artists and thinkers. Elie’s address touched on people like Thomas Merton and Flannery O’Connor, who, like McLuhan, sought the broadest possible intellectual canvases for their work, creating space to include faith and (From left): Stephanie, Michael and Teri McLuhan at the unveiling the possibility of the transcendent. of Pied Pipers All. But at the heart of our commemoration of McLuhan was the installation, at the front of the Canada Room, of a painting by the and public life for media outlets including The New York Times, The artist René Cera.

We have quadrupled our choral ensembles and redesigned a concert series. We pray vespers every weekday and offer more lay- led prayer gatherings such as Christian meditation. And the size of our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults program—which brings in dozens of dynamic Catholic intellectuals as its primary speakers—has nearly doubled. Moreover, this year St. Basil’s has established a seminar group that studies the feminine dimension of the Church through the lives of St. Mary Magdalene and the Venerable Dorothy Day. This seminar will give our parishioners exposure to new expressions of varying spiri- tualities, with sensitivity towards the many life-giving contributions women make to the Catholic Church. For me, it seems I have come full circle during my time at St. Mike’s, allowing me to give back to a community that has given so much to me. Many of my first memories of this Uni- versity are of my time at St. Basil’s Parish. I remember exactly where I sat as a first-year student during our Frosh Week’s Invocation Mass. I remember singing with the student choir. And I remember the convocation masses I attended there, first as an undergraduate and then as a graduate student. St. Basil’s has hosted several of my milestone moments. My connection with St. Basil’s began during my undergraduate life in 2008, when I was asked by the then-Chaplain, Fr. Jim Murphy, C.S.B., to consider serving as an acolyte and lector during the student liturgies. I also started attending other campus ministry events. I was eager to get involved in the USMC and Church community; I took a leadership role with Chaplaincy and then started planning student masses and social events as the Liturgical Coordinator. But that role was not limited to the student liturgies—and the St. Basil’s community ex- tended beyond the church. I had the chance to speak regularly with the Basilian Fathers, some of whom still live on campus. And after (Clockwise from top left): Pastor Fr.

That relationship was a major aspect of my decision to attend USMC as an undergraduate. I wanted to embrace the real mission of a Catholic university in the heart of a vibrant, multicultural city.

FLOAT Away with a Stunning New Book USMC grad explores “myth and memory, beauty and loss”

nne carson, who has won wide- spread acclaim throughout her writing career, has published a new book,A Float , this October. A 1974 graduate of the University of St. Michael’s College, Carson currently teaches Classics at the University of Michigan. She was twice a fi- nalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; was honoured with the 1996 Lannan Award and the 1997 Pushcart Prize, both for poetry; and was named a MacArthur Fel- low in 2000. In 2001 she received the T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry—the first woman to do so. She has also received the Griffin Poetry Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. According to the book’s publisher, Float will explore “myth and memory, beauty and loss, all the while playing with—and push- ing—the limits of language and form.” The book, a mix of prose and poetry, is presented as 23 individually bound chapters that can be read in any order, all arranged in an attractive clear acetate case.

Affair

There may be 70 wineries in the Niagara Region, but there is only one Foreign Affair By Christine Arthurs 0T0

reams, like fine wine, can be years in the making. sometimes they remain intangible, elusive. But if the elements are agreeable and bold wills conspire, sometimes they do come true, as they did for Len D Crispino, an alumnus of the University of St. Michael’s College (7T2). These days, Len can be found onsite at The Foreign Affair, an estate winery located on the grounds of the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in the heart of the Niagara Escarpment and Twenty Valley winemaking district. Len, with his partners—his wife, Marisa, and brother-in-law, Louis Cimicata— along with a small team of dedicated experts, run the boutique operation with unabashed enthusiasm. Len and Marisa have been cultivating their shared passion for 16 years now, but the dream was ignited 25 years ago. Like most commercial enterprises, the winery has had its share of challenges and triumphs over that time. There were costly setbacks in the early years—including a few times when entire crops were lost. As for triumphs, three years ago the Government of Ontario awarded The Foreign Affair Winery with The Minister’s Award for Innovation “in recognition for its unique approach to wine making and commitment to Ontario vinicul- ture.” More recently, Foreign Affair launched a new wine on Canada Day called “Apologetic Red,” which has been receiving a good deal of positive attention. Vintages magazine featured a double-page spread about it in September, and

The World’s His

From Toronto to Broadway, and beyond, with St. Mike’s grad RJ Hatanaka By Hilary Coles 1T0

ecently, i had a chance to sit down with new york city–based actor and University of St. Michael’s College 2009 graduate Ryan- James Hatanaka, known to many of us as ‘RJ.’ I asked him about his time at St. Mike’s and some of the lessons he is learning in one Rof the world’s most cutthroat industries. He is fresh off a flight from Budapest, Hungary—as the current face of HBO Nordic and HBO Spain, RJ frequently travels abroad. “I have the pleasure to represent an established, international brand as their on-camera spokesman,” he tells me. “I’m working with incredible, dedicated people who are excited about exposing me to new markets.” But before I can conjure up images of adoring European fans, he reminds me that he is already shifting gears to his next project. It’s too early to give specifics, he says, going on to explain: “Acting is very competitive. Developing the discipline and the skills needed to compete at a high level every day are foundational to success in any

St. Michael’s Fall 2016 17 When he started at St. Mike’s, RJ spent his first year living in Elmsley Hall, where he found a group of similarly driven men and women. “We had a lot of fun, but we also came to the realization that there are no short- cuts to success—just hard work. Several of my good friends from St. Mike’s and from UofT have gone on to do great things in the fields of finance, medicine and technology. We have kept in close contact postgraduation, and frequently talk about the ebbs and flows of trying to gain a foothold in our respective competitive environments. We keep each other going.”

Originally from Vancouver, RJ grew up in Toronto, and to him the University of Toronto was always the undergraduate dream. “I lived in Toronto, was working full-time as the bat boy for the Toronto Blue Jays, and UofT had a reputation as one of the premier universities “ in the world—what’s not to love? Growing up in a multi-faith and multicultural family, I chose St. Mike’s because of its commitment to turning out graduates with a world view and a sense of who they are as citizens of the world.” In his early days at St. Mike’s, RJ had no I truly believe that my time at St. Mike’s idea he wanted to be an actor.

18 Fall 2016 St. Michael’s Remembering McLuhan New exhibit shines spotlight on visionary educator

By Katherine Ing, Michael McLuhan, Kalina Nedelcheva and Simon Patrick Rogers

St. Michael’s Fall 2016 19 he University of St. Michael’s College is celebrating a memorable professor and international scholar with the launch of “McLuhan on Campus: Local Inspirations, TGlobal Visions.” This multimedia exhibition, being held from Oc- tober 13 to December 20, explores the development of Marshall McLuhan’s theories in the context of his academic and personal life at the University of Toronto, from the beginning of his career at the University of St. Michael’s College—his spiritual and intellectual home—in 1946 until his death in 1980. The exhibit, in the newly refurbished first-floor learning space of the John M. Kelly Library, examines McLuhan’s rise to the status of a media celebrity scholar and his ongoing relevance to current generations as one of the key critical thinkers of our time. The exhibit opened with the public unveiling of the iconic Pied Pipers All painting by René Cera. Afterwards, writer and scholar Paul Elie gave the Lectio Magistralis address titled “The Making of a Spirituality of Technol- ogy: Glenn Gould, Marshall McLuhan, and ‘Electronic Participation’,” an address given in conjunction with “The Toronto School: Then, Now, Next” International Conference at the University of Toronto. In this article, we showcase three viewpoints of the exhibition: the archivist who put it together; the age: Mi c hael M cL uhan students who worked on the project; and a McLuhan family member. Together they paint a vivid picture of

the man and the visionary, and of what McLuhan’s life and Photo Pre v iou s p ideas mean to us today.

The Person Behind the Image By Michael McLuhan

At the heart of this exhibition is the reinstallation of a painting that was deeply significant to Marshall McLuhan, Pied Pipers All, by René Cera (shown below and on page 19). This work, which McLuhan used as a teaching aid in his classes, is newly returned to the University of St. Michael’s College after being in storage. It was unveiled in its new place of honour at the front of the Canada Room, in one of the highest-student-traffic areas in the university, as a reminder of McLuhan’s continuing influence. We were honoured to have three of McLuhan’s children—Stephanie, Teri and Michael—unveil the work of art at the outset of the exhibition. Here, Michael McLuhan reminisces about the importance of Pied Pipers All and its creator, René Cera, in his family’s life. rené cera, the brilliant artist behind the mural pied René’s creation was a work of love that he had for my father, a Pipers All, was a very old and dear family friend.
