The stark beauty of a well-worn home

While it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, those words can be wrong sometimes.

To look at Greg Pacek’s and Ginger Sorbara’s photographs of 53 Indian Grove – on display until June 4 at Telephone Booth Gallery (3148 Dundas St. W.) – one might gather that this was a house that suffered from severe neglect caused by sad shut-ins who had given up on the world.

It would be a logical assumption: paint peels everywhere; where it’s not peeling, it’s filthy with oil from a thousand hands; ivy tentacles crash through a pane of glass; ceilings are water-damaged; appliances have atrophied from lack of use; and stickers now welded to walls claim “Hello, my name is George” and “Hello my name is Harry.”

But that assumption would be wrong. By all accounts, George and Harry Mills were well loved in this little enclave adjacent to High Park, and they were happy, incredibly social and very engaged with the world.

“I’ve been through houses that kind of look like this, but it’s sad and it’s a bit tortured,” says Ms. Sorbara, an intern architect and photographer who now owns 53 Indian Grove. “But the karma of this house, for lack of a better word, was fantastic.”

Ms. Sorbara first said hello to the Mills brothers seven years ago. She lived in the area and was intrigued by the apparent neglect of this grand old house (built in 1911), so she telephoned its occupants “out of the blue” to see if they wanted to sell. She was rebuffed, but invited over for a chat just the same. Immediately, she was struck by the warmth of the two elderly brothers, and not at all put off by the mounds of stuff inside that caused them to spend most of their time on the front porch. “I think it was a function of having lots of great things, of having lots of passions and collecting different things,” she offers, “and that predilection was exacerbated by age and infirmity.”

She enjoyed the Mills brothers so much, in fact, that she began to make a habit of walking past. Then George died in 2005, followed by Harry in 2008.

In February, 2009, with her architect husband, she purchased the house from the next-of-kin. During her visits with the family, she learned this house had been such a hub for the neighbourhood – from elaborate communal meals served in the oak-paneled dining room to classical concerts and the skating rink in the backyard – that it demanded documentation, so she enlisted the help of her professional photographer friend Greg Pacek.

“I was amazed at how much energy I felt in the house,” he says, echoing her.

The duo took snaps while the family cleared away more than seven decades of the flotsam and jetsam of life – 11 construction-sized mulberry alexa bins were hauled away – and then, after she took possession, they took gallery-quality photographs. But the family didn’t take everything: 1850s family photographs were found in a basement box along with letters from the Great War, newspaper clippings and, in a red tobacco tin in the backyard, a stash of 16mm film reels. When Ms. Sorbara had them transferred to DVD, she saw a flickering image of Harry Mills as a newborn baby, held by his father.

To share these unexpected treasures, a companion booklet was created and offered for sale when the photographs first hung at a different gallery in June, 2010. It’s offered at Telephone Booth Gallery as well, and is well worth the $45 price tag. “There’s something very still about this place,” begin the authors on page four. “The music of many millions of notes played has been quieted. Gone are the back yard summer concerts that echoed through the neighbourhood. Gone are the winter skating parties, the late night porch talk with the clinking of cheering glasses.”

Gone, but not forgotten. Lovingly documented in its 74 glossy pages are photographs of mutton-chopped men, a postcard sent from the house shortly after it was built (before the senior Mr. Mills purchased it) and intimate snapshots taken by Mr. Pacek and Ms. Sorbara of a sign reading “No hockey sticks” propped up on a shelf and a ham radio area on the third floor. Of course, the gallery photographs are also included, but it’s better to see them in large format at Telephone Booth Gallery (look for the authentic 1960s telephone booth in the window).

While tempting to lump these gallery photos into the currently popular “decay fetish” scene, they don’t quite fit. Rather, mulberry handbag these are portraits of lives lived without design snobbery in a house that tired only when its occupants did. They’re a gesture of respect, too, on the part of Ms. Sorbara, who feels she must now remove “95 per cent of what was there” in order to make the house her own: “You can’t take something that’s in pretty Mulberry Bag good shape and feel good about erasing it,” she says. “I think it’s environmentally irresponsible [and] it feels too self-important.”

After 31 years in fashion, Rejeanne is going out in style

Over the years, Rejeanne Hergott heard her customers’ stories as she Mulberry Bag helped them pick out their outfits.

They came to her shop, Rejeanne’s Boutique, at Eby and King Streets in downtown Kitchener, as excited young women dressing for the high school prom.

They came as brides and as mothers of the bride or groom, nervously preparing for the big day.

They came for the perfect outfit for the big job interview, the business dinner, or jeans and jacket to wear on a trip.

The trendy but classic styles at Rejeanne’s served all of those occasions and some difficult ones. Hergott often helped women battling serious illness find outfits that made mulberry handbag them look and feel their best.

Now, Rejeanne’s Boutique, an institution in Kitchener’s core for 31 years, is getting ready to close.

Hergott, who is lively and energetic at the age of 73, says she and her husband Jim, who has been her right hand man at her shop for years, want to enjoy a retirement together while they are still healthy. “Last year, after we celebrated 50 years of marriage, we decided it was time,” she says.

Born in Quebec and raised in Timmins, she came to Kitchener in 1959 at the age of 21. She saw a sign for hairdressing school and decided she would like to do that. She also fell in love and married Jim.

Hergott started as a hairdresser, initially out of a salon off of Ottawa Street. But she loved fashion. She began to sell accessories from her salon, and gradually got out of hairdressing to focus on women’s fashions.

On June 1, 1980, she moved her business into a house at Eby and King Streets. Rejeanne’s Boutique was born. “I already had clientele, from the hairdressing business,” she says.

She carried unique but quality classic items that were versatile. She catered to her customers’ tastes for conservative elegance, but Hergott was also known for getting them to try something new and different.

“Sometimes, when I was buying in Quebec, I would pick something a little bit wild and people would say, ‘Oh, Rejeanne, you will never sell that in Kitchener.’” But she did.

Hergott built her business as other downtown retailers lost customers to the malls on the outskirts of the city.

“This has always been a Mulberry bag sale shopping destination,” she explains. Her customers came from far and wide. “I had a customer who was a teacher in Woodstock. Pretty soon, I had other teachers from Woodstock in here.” The styles she carried also appealed across generations of mothers and daughters.

Hergott knew her customers and could point out items they would like. “When you come to a boutique, you get a little bit spoiled,” she says.

Her shop carried a lot of Simon Chang, her favourite designer. “Of course, a lot of the fashion labels are retired now. Susan Bristol is gone, Roui is gone,” she says.

Hergott loved going to the fashion shows in Quebec and Toronto to buy for the next season.

She saw trends come, go, and come back. “In the 1980s, it was a lot of country and long, peasant skirts,” she says. “There were always suits, but then jackets were long with padded shoulders. In the last few years, the jackets have been short. Now they are long again,” she says.

Hergott was also involved in many charitable fashion shows such as Oktoberbest’s A Blooming Affair and the St. Mary’s Hospital Festival of Trees for years.

Recessions were tough, but she took the economic cycles in stride. “You do feel it when there is recession. But then I can show them a blouse to make an old outfit look new again.”

Hergott is now selling her inventory. There is no set closing date but the business will wind down over the summer.

She hopes to do some volunteering in retirement. She and Jim plan to spend more time at their cottage. She would like to play more bridge.

Hergott says she is looking forward to retirement, but will miss her customers. “I have enjoyed every minute of it, I really have. I have made good friends here over the years.”

Mariner's soccer season ends in controversial fashion

The Mariner Marauders were left steaming in anger.

Their dream season had just Mulberry Bag been brought to an abrupt end, and they weren't at all happy with the manner in which it was cut short.

Mariner's season ended in controversial fashion Saturday night at Goddard Stadium, as the Marauders were knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Class 4A boys soccer state tournament by a 3-2 overtime defeat at the hands of the Skyline Spartans.

Skyline's Austin Dodd scored the tying goal with just seconds remaining in regulation and Pedro Miola found the net two minutes into sudden-death overtime as Skyline (14-2-2) advanced mulberry handbag to next weekend's final four.

But the Marauders (17-4) think they're the ones who should be moving on as they believe Dodd's goal should never have been allowed.

"I thought we fought hard enough to win this game," a glaring Mariner coach Vince DeSimone said. "We were ahead, we got what we wanted, we had the win. But I'm not going to blame the refs, that's how it goes."

Mariner appeared set for its first state semifinal berth in school history. The Marauders led 2-1 deep into second-half extra time, thanks to a pair of wonder goals from Yahir Sandoval. Mariner's fans were lined up at the fence, ready to storm the field in celebration and chanting, "Blow the whistle."

The Spartans, in desperation, hoofed the ball into the Mariner penalty box from midfield. The ball skipped across the box, with Mariner goalkeeper Ulises Hernandez bending low to scoop it up. However, Hernandez was leveled by a Skyline player, and Dodd nipped in to put the loose ball into the net.

The goal was initially given by the referee. After howls of protest from the Marauders, the referee went to consult with the linesman. A brief discussion ensued, but the goal was upheld and the game went to overtime.

"Those kind of goals, I don't know," DeSimone said. "You can't challenge the keeper before he's got the ball and just take him out."

Skyline coach Don Braman Mulberry bags sale thought the Spartan player got to the ball before running into Hernandez.

"Travis Strong was right in there before," Braman said. "I think it flicked off Travis, off the keeper, and then Austin was there to knock that one in.

"We know their goalkeeper is really good," Braman added. "We scouted and understand he's not only huge, but has great hands. We knew that in order for us to have a chance we'd have to get in there to compete with him for it. I don't have the tallest boys on the field, really, but they're in there scrapping away."

The Spartans, who had the run of play through most of the game, now had the momentum, too. And it was inevitably a similar goal that ended the game in OT. Another long ball from midfield was headed goalward by Dodd at the far post. Hernandez, who had made several stunning saves with the Marauders leading 2-1, was only able to block Dodd's header, and Miola raced in to clean up the garbage and begin the Skyline celebrations.

The controversial finish spoiled a special performance by Sandoval. Sandoval, Mariner's star senior forward, barely had a whiff of the ball all game, thanks to an organized Skyline defense. But twice he was given small openings, and both times he squeezed through to give the Marauders the lead.

First, in the 38th minute, he drew a foul 22 yards from goal. He took the free kick himself, and his powerful shot bent around the Skyline wall and into the right corner to give Mariner a 1-0 lead.

After Miola's header deflected off a defender and past a wrong-footed Hernandez two minutes into the second half to tie it, Sandoval struck again. This time Miguel Medina won the ball in his own half and had space to speed up the field. Medina then looped a pass over the top and into the path of Sandoval on a full sprint. Sandoval reached the bouncing ball at the edge of the penalty box, and on his first touch he rocketed a shot into the far corner to restore Mariner's advantage.

Unfortunately for the Marauders, that lead did not hold. Yet DeSimone was still able to take pride in what was a wonderful season for Mariner. The Marauders reached the state tournament for the first time in 18 years, and the quarterfinal appearance matched Mariner's previous best effort in 1991.

"These guys fought tooth and nail all the way through," DeSimone said. "I'm disappointed with the way the game finished, but it was a great season for the Mariner Marauders."

Ahead of Election, Thousands in Spain Demonstrate Against Corruption

With elections set for Sunday in Spain in more than 8,000 municipalities and 13 of its 17 regions, thousands of people, most of them young, have taken to the streets in Madrid, Barcelona and other large cities this week, calling for an end to suspected longstanding corruption among established parties. Fueling the demonstrators’ anger is the perceived failure by politicians to alleviate the hardships imposed on a struggling population by a jobless rate of 21 percent.

At sit-ins, street protests and on social media networks, the protesters’ message is that of an alternative campaign that could eclipse that of the established parties and result in a decline in voter turnout on Sunday, from 63 percent four years ago.

Some of the youth groups have made the fight against corruption their battle cry, like NoLesVotes, or “Don’t vote them” in English, whose manifesto starts with the warning that “corruption in Spain has reached alarming levels.” The group recently published a Web site map pinpointing localities where more than 100 politicians seeking election were also under judicial investigation.

Other protesters are fielding alternative candidates, like the Pirate Party in Catalonia, founded 18 months ago, which is hoping to win about 7,000 votes across Catalan municipalities. One of its candidates in Barcelona, the 27-year-old Francesc Parelleda, said political corruption was a consequence of a “political system in which there is simply zero transparency and democracy within the main parties.”

José M. de Areilza, dean of the IE Law School in Madrid, said, “I don’t think that political corruption is necessarily worse in Spain than in other European countries, but I do think that the economic crisis is now generating a lot more anger and resentment here toward politicians.”

On Sunday, Francisco Camps is expected to be re-elected as head of the regional government of Valencia, which includes the third-largest city in Spain and some of the most popular Spanish resorts.

By the end of the year, Mulberry bags sale however, Mr. Camps is also likely to be in court facing bribery charges, as part of a vast corruption investigation, dubbed the Gürtel case, that has also targeted several other politicians from the main center-right political force, the Popular Party.

Mr. Camps was charged in February for allegedly receiving tailor-made suits in return for granting public contracts, with further possible financial irregularities still under investigation. Nine other politicians standing for the Popular Party on Sunday in Valencia are being investigated or have been charged with fraud. Mr. Camps and his fellow candidates deny any wrongdoing.

For now, the corruption allegations have not hindered Mr. Camps’s re-election bid, according to the latest opinion polls. Like Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister who is engulfed in scandal, Mr. Camps has portrayed himself as the victim of a witch hunt by political opponents, judges and left-leaning media. Asked in December to comment on some of the allegations, he said that “nobody should believe Soviet-style propaganda against everything that has been achieved in Valencia.”

In fact, “many people in Valencia now talk about the Berlusconization of our society,” said Ferrán Bono, a Socialist lawmaker who mulberry handbag represents Valencia in the national Parliament in Madrid. “Some people have seen so many political scandals that they just treat them as banal, but I think many also genuinely believe the conspiracy theory that Camps has been so actively promoting.”

The Gürtel investigation, which also targets some Popular Party politicians in Madrid, involves more than €120 million, or about $170 million, of public funds misspent by politicians in return for alleged kickbacks, according to a summary of the charges presented by the prosecution this year. Its alleged ringleader, Mulberry Bag Francisco Correa, is in jail awaiting trial.

Beauty under curfew

A flash blow wave but no time for a wash, a quick eyebrow shaping, rushed facials or a hurried massage: anxious women dart in and out of Tunis’ beauty salons before the nightly curfew descends.

Used to staying open until 10 pm or 11 pm to doll up clients for parties or late-night weddings, the salons now empty out early as everyone rushes to get home before an overnight curfew covers the capital in silence.

Salon owners say business is down, supplies are short and people are holding off weddings ― a steady source of income in calmer times.

The week-old curfew was imposed after several days of fresh unrest between pro-democracy protesters and government forces in and around the capital, triggering a new round of stress for many.

“As soon as I hear noises on Habib Bourguiba Avenue, I close the curtains of the salon,” moaned Imed, owner of a downtown beauty salon whose tension showed in the dark shadows under his eyes.
Habib Bourguiba Avenue was the epicentre of both the unrest in December and January that toppled long-time president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali and kicked off pro-democracy revolts around the Arab world, and last week’s troubles.

Typical of many working women rushing in after their jobs, a Tunisian journalist asked for “just a quick styling” because she’s “really busy”, before dashing back into the street lined with rotting garbage thanks to a new strike by municipal workers.

Elegantly dressed 50-something Souha said she comes to Imed’s to “clear my head” of the country’s troubles.

“Despite the stress and the curfew, I steal a few happy moments to make myself pretty ― and because I do not want my husband to look elsewhere,” she said.

A young, veiled employee sitting under photographs of short-haired women on the walls of the sparse salon obsessively consulted Facebook, explaining she was “following the situation” in the country.

‘Many weddings postponed’

Another worker Mulberry bags sale repeatedly phoned her husband to remind him to fetch her before the curfew ― declared May 7 from 9 pm to 5 am for an indeterminate period ― “for fear of being detained”.

Owner Imed groaned that the new unrest has left him short on beauty supplies. “Once again I do not have all the products that I need.”

In another salon, aesthetician Zeyneba Aich said her clients are still coming in for facials, manicures and pedicures but want it “faster.”

“They’re all telling me ” quick, quick, I want to get home before the curfew,’” she said.

In a salon on the outskirts of Tunis, hairdresser Latifa said her clients had also upped the pressure, all demanding “only quick blow waves.”

“The women are afraid of being detained, of being robbed,” if they are caught out after the curfew, she said, adding she too was scared.

Other beauticians complain they’ve lost clients, like salon owner Maryam who said her mulberry handbag business has halved since the curfew was imposed.

“The staff live far away and I cannot keep them late,” she said. “The young women do not come for make-up anymore because they no longer have evening parties.”

“Many weddings have been postponed,” she added. “We could be busy on two or three weddings a day because we could stay open late, but now every bride wants to be ready by 2 pm at the latest.”

In Tunisia, weddings are often held between 9 pm and midnight.

The upshot has seen some women Mulberry Bag returning to traditional, less costly beauty rituals at home, like using olive oil as a hair treatment or fig sap mixed with rose water as a face mask.
