Fra poche settimane i primi segni della natura ci diranno che la Primavera e` alleporte. I primi fiori faranno capelino da sotto la neve, e le gemme degli alberi siingrosseranno preparandosi a sbocciare. Sono ansioso di vedere se gli stessisegni primaverili si manifesteranno qui alla Famee. Dopo unìnverno freddissimo,e qui non mi riferisco a quello del calendario, sembra si possa intravederequalche segno di vita nuova. Questo fara` di sicuro piacere ai membri delDirettivo che in diversi modi si sono dedicati a far che questa ondata di maltempo sitrasformasse in qualcosa di positivo.

Una soddisfazione questa che ripaghera` lìmpegno ed il lavoro da loro svolto.Portera` sicuramente soddisfazione anche al ‘Manager’ ed alla sua ‘Equipe’.Anche loro si sono dedicati con integrita` e professionalismo per rimettere laFamee sulla giusta strada. Mi auguro che tutto questo porti un po` di soddisfazioneanche a voi Soci, sapendo che i rappresentanti da voi eletti stannno lavorandoper il benessere della vostra Famee e che i risultati, anche se nellìnfanzia sonopositivi.

Una spinta ed incoraggiamento da parte vostra sarebbe quello di ottenere una delle nuove “Gift Cards” che abbiamomesso a vostra disposizione, caricarla con un bel po di soldini e gradualmente usarla Al Fogolar e nella Saletta. Questoci darebbe la sensazione che stiamo facendo un lavoro di squadra - il Direttivo, il Management e voi Soci. Alla fine deiconti se il lavoro di squadra e` ben co-ordinato non puo` che portare eccellenti risultati.

In attesa di una grande fioritura, vi saluto caramente.

Je Tornade Primevere

On February 12th, surrounded by family and well wishers, Giuseppe Vitale, a residentof the home since November 2008, celebrated his one hundredth birthday. Mr.Vitale is the youngster of the century mark club at the residence, Cesare Nocebeing one hundred and three years young.

Not many of us can say we are one hundred years young let alone expect to reachsuch a milestone. Throughout his life journey, which included growing up withouta father (due to circumstances that separated them), living through two world wars,poverty, depression and experiencing the death of a young son and a wife aftersixty years of marriage Giuseppe Vitale has had three constants: love of family;appreciation of music, especially the organetto; and being an optimist.

Giuseppe Vitale was one of three children (the others being Maria and Aquilina) born to Rocco Vitale and Rosina Falcone.At a young age, by today’s standard, he married Teresa Ricchio and together had nine children: Francesco; Adolfo;Alberto; Fiore (who died at three years of age); Vittorio; Fiore; Sestino; Tonino; and Vincenzo.

Like many Italians who sought a new future in Canada, the Vitale family began its passage tothis country in the mid 1950’s. Following his eldest sons and their families, Giuseppe Vitalearrived in Canada in 1959 and sponsored the remaining members of the family soon thereafter.

Today Giuseppe Vitale is the family patriarch of five generations which includes twenty-fourgrandchildren, thirty-three great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Buon compleanno Giuseppe!!

Tesolin, Renowned Canadian Jewellery DesignerI remember first hearing about Rita Tesolin when participatingat one of the Società Femminile Friulana’s fashion shows.Her jewellery was paired with the clothing and I rememberhow the ladies reacted. They were a hit.

Rita’s creations are show stoppers. Open any magazine witha fashion spread, and you’ll see what I mean. Since childhood,Tesolin has had a way with creating unique jewellery. Atfirst, she began working with leather, suede and metalsshaping them into unique pieces of jewellery. At the age ofseventeen she had to quit working for Simpson's to keep upwith demand for her product for the same retailer.

Later on, Tesolin focused on completing law school andembarking on her new career as an intellectual propertylawyer in downtown Toronto. After taking a break from lawshe decided to have some fun and began to create jewellery.Her pieces had once again gained the notice of the owner ofa Toronto boutique. He placed an order on the spot.Tesolin decided to pursue a different course in life and gaveherself one year to establish enough clientele to sustain acompany. Fortunately, things went well and Rita Tesolin Inc.

took root. Tesolin's trademark, her name with a Monarchbutterfly symbolized the change in her path. A transformation,a new beginning.

Her pieces have been worn by Jeanne Beker, Tanya Kim, andWendy Crewson, on the cover of Elle Canada by Coco Rocha,and none other than the red hot Taylor Swift on the cover ofFlare magazine. She’s also been part of Canada’s Next TopModel, Project Runway and So You Can Think You Can DanceCanada by Judges and contestants alike. Tesolin is currentlyworking with designers Greta Constantine, David Dixon andBrandon Dwyer for the upcoming Toronto Fashion Week.

Tesolin has become a national star in the fashion industry yetdoes not hesitate to assist community initiatives andcharities. She has actively worked with the Oak Leaf Gala insupport of the Villa Leonardo Gambin Charity and its longterm care residence for the past two years and hopes to doso for many more (including this year’s which will take placein October).

Natale alla Famee FurlaneDecember is a time for celebrations at the Famee beginning with a tradition thatgoes back many decades…..Babbo Natale. In the past this was an afternoonevent, held on the first Sunday in December. For the past 2 years we have askedSanta to join us in the morning so that we could have ‘Breakfast with Santa’. Inaddition to Santa’s toy bag, this year he brought some special elves to help outand in the end the Balarins of the Famee performed a dance for the audienceencouraging other kids to join in.

The week after Santa, the Famee hosts the Arie di Natale. This year we had bothchoirs, Il Coro di Santa Cecilia and Le Voci del Friuli along with the Balarins of theFamee performing. Alberto De Rosa was the host this year and he introducedCarlo Vanini on the trumpet and Tony and Edda Picco peforming a play called“Toni e Mariute” written by Rina Del Nil Cralli. Gianni Ceschia, Rosemary Maraldoand Fernando Clabassi performed a poem called “La Notte Santa”.

After all the Christmas festivities are over with and the new year is here, we thenhave La Befana, another traditional custom at the Famee in January. With stockingslining the hallway to the Canada Room, vin burle’ simmering and pinza waiting tobe shared, the children gathered by the fire to learn about another custom andits significance, the bonfire (falo’). As most of us recall, the falo’ was lit on the eve

of the Epiphany in manytowns across Friuli. Thisold Roman custom signifiesthe death of old MotherNature and the birth of ayounger Mother Nature.The children read a poemabout the Befana andcalled her to make hergrand entrance. As theBefana moved among thechildren, she distributedsweets, tangerines andwalnuts and addressedthem with praise and promises for good behaviour. A very special thank you toLuciana Pol Bodetto and Gianna Grigio for supplying the delicious pinza, and tothe Women’s Auxiliary for organizing the event. Among our guests, we werehonoured to have a visitor from Italy, Sara Del Zuanne, who was very impressedto see that our traditions were being imparted to our young. We may be livingworlds apart, but our native Friuli is always in our heart!

A un anno dalla sua morte.Chi era veramente Pietro Pecile, al jere un Furlan vêr di chei dut un toc, comaca si dîs “ Salt Onest Lavoradôr “

Parole queste tratte da una canzone, e che identificano le persone come lui elo vedremo più avanti. Nato a Cosa di San Giorgio della Richinvelda nel 1930,il terzo di una famiglia numerosa composta di nove tra fratelli e sorelle, mez-zadri dei conti Attimis di Maniago. Alcuni componenti della famiglia prender-anno poi come lui, la strada dell’emigrazione anzi fu propio lui il primo a rag-giungere la sorella Silvana a Toronto nel novembre del 1955.

Terminato il servizio militare, del regimento alpini, decide di seguire l’esempiodi tanti corregionali, erano gl’anni del grande flusso emigratorio, e quindi siimbarca a Genova destinazione; come già detto Toronto, dove trovera’ adattenderlo la sorella con il marito Gino Cilio e con cui poi temporaneamentealloggerà.

Il cognato aveva già iniziato un’ attività di carpenteria, il lavoro non mancava,la voglia di mettersi a fare qualcosa era grande anche per il famoso “ san scug-ni’ “ e il nostro Pieri si mise subito ad imparare un nuovo mestiere che alla fine,non solo gli piaceva ma era sopratutto rimunerativo e continuerà a farlo fino alpensionamento. Il tempo passava, e siccome a lui piaceva scrivere, erano fre-quenti le lettere inviate alla fidanzata Rina che non vedeva l’ora di raggiunger-lo. Ed ecco che finalmente il 7 di febbraio 1959 anche Rina arriva a Toronto, sisposeranno otto giorni dopo, per una strana ma alquanto gradita coincidenza,si trattò della celebrazione di un dupplice matrimonio.

Dalla loro unione nasceranno quattro figli Elizabeth, Giuliana, Mario e Sandro,e per la gioia dei nonni, riempiono la casa ben otto nipoti. La famiglia crescevabene e bisognava fare qualcos’altro, alcuni amici lo invitano a far parte della

Famee Furlane, Pieri non si fà pregare e nel 1969 si iscrive al sodalizio e comesi può leggere nella foto che quì riportiamo, la sua tessera porta il numero164e la Famee era Mutual BenefitSociety .

Da quel giorno, parte del suo tempo libero lo dedicherà alle funzioni dellaFamee. Farà subito parte di uno speciale comitato che a quel tempo gestiva inseno alla Famee, le funzioni organizzative di tutte le attività siano esse di carat-tere sociale, culturale, ricreativo, o folkloristico, e siccome in quel tempo lafamee

Furlane non aveva ancora una sede propria, ciò comportava un lavoro ancorapiù impegnativo. Ma Pieri quando si trattava di “ lavora pai furlans nol disevemai nò ” e ciò che faceva, doveva essere fatto con scrupolo senza mezze mis-ure, tanto che qualcuno lo riteneva un pò troppo pignolo ma lui, ch’al veve lalenghe sclete, rispondeva; “ o si fâs, o si lasse cha fedin chei ch’a san a fà”,anche nelle riunioni d’assemblea non esitava ad alzarsi in piedi e dire la sua, ese pr qualche ragione non vi riusciva, allora lo metteva per iscritto, che pun-tualmente faceva pervenire al presidente, anche lo scrivente nè sà qualcosa,perchè anch’io quando facevo parte del consiglio d’amministrazione, ho rice-vuto alcune sue lettere, dove obiettava questa, o quella decisione, che secon-do lui si avrebbe dovuto fare in un altro modo. Ma tutte le sue obiezioni, tutti isuoi consigli erano di una spontaneità unica genuina, sincera, ed erano solo eunicamente a fin di bene non solo per la Famee Furlane a cui era molto legato,ma anche per l’intera comunita’ friulana. Per questo forte legame, il comitatoculturale della Famee, gli ha conferito l’attestato di “ Bon Furlan “ attestato cheviene presentato ogni anno a soci più meritevoli durante le celebrazioni de “il 3 di Avril fieste dal popul Furlan “. Anche con la famiglia Pieri era severo, i figlili trattava con la stessa misura, insegnando loro i veri valori morali che sono l’in-tegrità, e il rispetto per tutti, nelle feste grandi, come Natale, Pasqua, tutta lafamiglia doveva riunirsi a tavola per il pranzo a casa sua senza transigere.Arrivato all’età della pensione, Pieri si trova ad avere molto più tempo a dispo-sizione, almeno quando i nipotini non erano in per casa, così venne a far partedel consiglio parrocchiale presso la chiesa San Jude, i voi a fà cuatri pass finla da la glisia, diciva a Rina, vai a viodi se an bisugne di ‘na man, e ogni domeni-ca durante la prima Messa faceva l’usciere. Una volta, quando Padre Aresi vol-eva disfarsi della corale, lui si era preparato per affrontarlo, cosa che poi nonriuscì a fare e quando rientro’ a casa Rina gli chiese perche’ era turbato, o ai ungrop tal stomit, parceche no soi stat bon di sunaghinis cuatri al plevan, o ai vutpore di fa un tuart’ al nestri Signor e stata la risposta. Sì, Pieri al jere un ver furlanSalt Onest Lavorador.

n/p Sior diretorjo sai che ‘l miò ami Pieri al vares vut gust che l’articul al fos stat scrìt in marilenghe, ma o soi acje sigûr ch’al mi perdone.

“A NEW SEASON IS COMING AND SO ISTHE BEAUTIFUL GAME”

A renewed spring season is close at hand. It is also time for a newsoccer season in our part of the world.

As the world is preparing for an exciting 2010 World Cup this June,we also embark on new seasons for Toronto F.C. and more impor-tantly our beloved Friuli F.C.

Management is looking to bring in new players to rejuvenate theteam and allow for a continued existence not only for this seasonbut for seasons to come. If you are a player or know of players whowould like to take a shot at representing Friuli F.C., please contactRenzo at [email protected]. Interested players should makethemselves known by April 15th, 2010.

FRIULI F.C.

Who says that members’ meetings are dry and boring? EveryNovember at the members’ meeting, after the serious discussionshave taken place, the smell of roasting chestnuts fills Friuli Halland the members are treated to fresh, roasted ‘castagne con untaiut di vin’.

This is a tradition that has continued at the Famee for manydecades and marks the turning point between the somber moodof “Il Giorno dei Morti’ on November 1st and Christmas which isjust around the corner. At the end of the evening an impromptuchoir breaks out with some traditional Furlan songs.

I Soci, Le Castagne e un Tai di Vin

Friuli Terrace tenants help their community close tohome and much further away. The help is provided inmany ways. They pack food, clothes and laundry soap togive to the Consolata Mission, which distributes theitems. Warm pyjamas were sent to families in Abruzzi,many of whom are still in need after the earthquake.

Knitted scarves and hats were happily provided to localschools. Funds raised by tenants purchased items for twolarge diaper bags, filled with necessities for babies anddonated to a local church to help unwed mothers. OverChristmas, tenants donated some 75 toys to ToyMountain.

Congratulations to Friuli Centre tenants for recognizingthe spirit of Christmas and doing a lot to help others.

2. On January 5, tenants Renato and Bruna Sisti celebratedtheir 55th wedding anniversary. They have been tenantsfor over ten years.

3. Tenants said goodbye to Baldassare Adamo, who leftFriuli Terrace after 20 years to live with his family.Baldassare was a tailor and his skills were put to gooduse, cutting the lovely fabric that tenants sewed intoplacemats, runners and bags that were then sold at theChristmas Bazaar. He also volunteered at countlessTerrace functions over the years. Tenants gave him a citationat the Christmas Party. Sig. Adamo will be missed.
