THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US ONCE AGAIN! Every year they seem to fly up,
and no matter how much prep is done, they are here and gone in the blink of an eye.
Time, in my opinion, is one of the greatest gifts a person can give. Whether it is time
spent with friends, family, in solitude, traveling, at home, snuggling pets and kids,
volunteering, or any combination; it is precious. Time spent with family and friends
is my favorite part of the holidays. We cook, laugh, reminisce about old memories,
and at the same time—we make new ones. These moments are cherished, especially now when we live in a society where everything moves at warp speed and
people feel accountable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
For the December issue, we spent professional time getting to know some fabulous
businesses and people around the Twin Cities. Dr. Sam LaChance of Greenway
Dental has opened the doors to a new outlook on dentistry and talks about how
he plans to serve patients in the Uptown area. We spoke with Schmitt Music, a
company which is soon to be 125 years old, and learned how they are combining
their longstanding expertise in music with new technology. We interviewed Alisa
Halek-Schoenack, owner of Nedia Hair Loss Salon and Spa, whose team has more
than 100 years of experience combined in the hair loss industry. And finally, we
learned that behind the historic walls of the Alfred Pillsbury mansion, lies more than
what meets the eye. Not only does this property reflect a time past, but it bridges
organizations and charities within the community.
This holiday season, I hope you have the opportunity to spend and receive time with
those you are closest to, to smile and share moments together, and to truly focus
undivided attention on the things that matter most.
Wishing you all the happiest of holiday seasons and a safe New Year.

Youth Driven Waste Disposal/Recycling Campaign: San Estanislao, ParaguayBrienne Thomson
As a Peace Corps Paraguay volunteer, I ignited the idea for the waste/recycling awareness campaign with the local youth group I work with, Rotaract, a subsidiary of Rotary International for 18 to 30-year-olds. It began with an Asunción-based NGO, Ita Enramada, coming out to San Estanislao to speak about the importance of minding our environment and the tragic impact that the lack of information or recycling programs has had on it. The culmination of the campaign was two-fold. First, we held a competition between the high-schools to design a trashcan to be installed in a popular community park with a message about proper waste disposal or caring for our environment. Second, of the seven local high-schools competing, each was assigned a material from plastic to rubber to cloth, etcetera, to design saleable recycled crafts at a “Feria de Tesoros Reciclados” for a public street fair. Overall, I have never seen such creativity and assertiveness among the youth of my community. I was sincerely proud of everyone involved in organizing and participating in this campaign that I left wondering how I’ll ship all of my new handicrafts back to the States!

NOUVELLES DE LA FIAP
Le 4 avril dernier, nous avons appris
avec grand plaisir que Raquel Peñalosa,
architecte paysagiste qui a représenté
l’AAPQ pendant plusieurs années et qui
est actuellement déléguée de l’AAPC
auprès de la FIAP, a été élue vice-présidente
de la région des Amériques.
Le nouveau comité de direction de la
région des Amériques sera donc composé,
à partir du mois de juin 2014, de madame
Peñalosa, de Monica Pallarez (Mexique)
au poste de secrétaire et de Tino
Manta (Uruguay) à celui de trésorier. Ils
travailleront de concert avec Catherine
Moore (R.-U.) qui occupera le poste
de présidente. Ce comité sera en place
jusqu’au mois de juin 2016.
L’élection de madame Peñalosa fait suite
au travail soutenu de son prédécesseur
de l’AAPC, Jim Taylor, qui a consacré ses
années au sein de la FIAP à soutenir
16 LANDSCAPES PAYSAGES
le développement de l’architecture
de paysage sur le continent africain.
Dans sa campagne électorale, madame
Peñalosa a insisté sur la gouvernance,
principalement en ce qui a trait aux
éléments suivants : une plus grande
équité et une participation accrue
des membres dans les processus
décisionnels; les communications, en
passant par une plus grande présence
sur Internet; l’éducation, par le soutien
continu au programme de création et de
consolidation de la profession à l’échelle
panaméricaine; et la poursuite du travail
de rapprochement avec l’Initiative
d’Amérique latine sur le Paysage (LALI).
C’est d’ailleurs dans cet esprit que les
travaux de notre Initiative canadienne
de charte du paysage (ICCP) cherchent
à s’harmoniser, cela afin de profiter
de l’occasion de partage qui nous sera
offerte au Congrès de l’AAPC de 2015,
à Mexico.
Nous ne pouvons donc qu’être heureux
des possibilités que cette nouvelle
nomination offrira à tous les membres
de l’AAPC et nous souhaitons à
madame Peñalosa la meilleure des
chances dans cette fonction importante
pour l’avancement de la profession
d’architecte-paysagiste, autant au
Canada que dans le reste du monde.
THE CALL BOX
PAUL ALLISON
I recently returned from Japan, where I was
working as a technical advisor to evaluate
therapeutic gardening programs run by a
non-profit group called AmeriCares. The
programs were designed for the survivors of
the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in the
Tohoku region. I also delivered horticultural
therapy workshops for survivors and for
community groups.
One day, I was in Ootsuchi, a coastal town that
was completely destroyed by the tsunami. The
community group invited me to visit a unique
garden, where a local man, Mr. Sasaki, had
constructed a white telephone box and placed
it within a quiet part of the garden. This white
telephone box served a very special purpose.
Mr. Sasaki explained that he had created the
telephone box in the garden for those survivors
who had never had the opportunity to say
goodbye to those who were lost. In the call box,
they could pick up the phone for a “direct line”
to their lost loved ones. The opportunity to
express their feelings might lighten the heavy
burden carried by survivors who had no chance
to say goodbye.
The telephone box, as metaphor, has provided
comfort to hundreds of visitors. It has proven
to be a very powerful symbol and an effective
therapeutic tool for the survivors of Ootsuchi.

EN_ THIS YEAR, LP LOOKS BACK OVER
THE YEARS with stories and vignettes
from Canada’s landscape history. In this
issue, Paul Allison wonders how much
things have changed over the last century
– at least in the way we scope out possible
new clients. In 1911, John Charles Olmsted
received a telegram from Sir James
Dunsmuir, urgently requesting that he
design a landscape for Colwood’s Hatley
Park, near Victoria, British Columbia. But
Olmsted had cause for concern…To read

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE
PAUL ALLISON
As a professional landscape architect, have you ever asked a fellow LA or other professional colleague
about the character of a potential new client? In the first decade of the 1900s, Samuel Maclure, a
renowned architect in Victoria, was in the midst of completing Hatley Castle in Colwood, B.C., for the
famous coal baron, Sir James Dunsmuir, Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia.
62 LANDSCAPES PAYSAGES
On December 4, 1907, Maclure sat down at his desk and
wrote a letter to John Charles Olmsted, addressed to the Arlington
Club in Portland, Oregon, where he was temporarily staying. JCO,
the nephew of Frederick Law Olmsted of New York’s Central
Park fame, was at that time the first president of the American
Society of Landscape Architects. Maclure wrote encouragingly to
JCO to visit Victoria and consult with Dunsmuir on creating estate
gardens for Hatley Park.
<<...Being familiar with the work of the late F. Law Olmsted I have
asked my client to allow me to communicate with you to ask you
what terms you would be willing to come to Victoria, view the site
and prepare plans for the laying out of the grounds. There are 240
acres in the estate, the site slopes towards the sea, southing, and
there are innumerable springs of pure water flowing from the hill
sides which could be used in any manner to beautify the grounds
with lakes, streams, etc. This house is a very important one and I am
anxious to have a siting prepared for it by your distinguished hand,
if this is at all possible.>>
FOUR YEARS LATER… AN URGENT REQUEST
Olmsted did, in fact, consult with Dunsmuir in late December,
1907, but never heard back from him. Then, in 1911, Dunsmuir
sent the Olmsted firm a telegram urgently requesting Olmsted
to visit and design a landscape before he left for a European tour
that was popular with the Edwardian elite at the time. Olmsted
was a little taken aback as he had not heard back from his initial
consultation and was busy with other projects.
My Dear Mr. Olmsted,
…I do not think that any dealings
you could have with him would
be satisfactory to you…
…He is arbitrary and unjust and
prefers insult to encouragement…
…Hon Mr. Dunsmuir is not a
Lord, not even a Knight.

Has this dialogue between Maclure and Olmsted
resonated with you, perhaps mirroring your
experiences with a prospective client? Despite the
fact that over a century separates us from this
exchange, when it comes to scoping out a client,
some things never change.

My dear Mr. Maclure...
…I have felt considerable reluctance to
undertake to design the improvements
which he now desires…
…It has also been intimated to me by
someone, I forget now who, that his
manner of dealing with professional
men is not such as to be apt to meet
with their entire approbation.
…I therefore earnestly venture to
ask for your frank opinion…
2014 vol.16_no.3 63
Olmsted felt uncomfortable about Dunsmuir’s character. He
decided on August 17, 1911, to write to Maclure for advice. Would it
in fact be worth the time to work for Dunsmuir?
<<As Lord Dunsmuir did not accept the proposition which I made
to him through you for a preliminary visit in 1907 and has gone
ahead and improved his place in a manner which I now understand
he is dissatisfied with, I have felt considerable reluctance to
undertake to design the improvements which he now desires, lest
our reputation should suffer through the assumption by any one
interested that the place as a whole was designed by us.
It has also being intimated to me by someone, I forget now who,
that his manner of dealing with professional men is not such as to
be apt to meet with their entire approbation. I inferred, also, that it
is possible, although it was not so stated, that he may be arbitrary
and unjust in the matter of paying bills for professional services.
I therefore venture to ask for your frank opinion as to whether
you think it would be a reasonably satisfactory piece of work for
our office to undertake, and whether you would advise us to have
dealings with Lord Dunsmuir. I shall of course regard anything you
say as absolutely confidential, in fact will return your letter to you if
desired.
I have plenty to do so that I am not especially looking for work
and am in a position to decline this work if it seems unlikely to be
satisfactory.>>
Maclure replied promptly on August 23, 1911.
<<My Dear Mr. Olmsted,
In reply to your letter of 17th inst, which has just reached me, I may
say that my own experience with Hon. James Dunsmuir entirely
bears out what you say has been intimated to you regarding his
character as a client, and judging from this I do not think that any
dealings you could have with him would be satisfactory to you, I
have never been so badly treated by anyone as I have by him and
this is in return for faithful services extended over several years, and
many others have had similar experience with him. He is arbitrary
and unjust and prefers insult to encouragement in dealing with
professional men…and much as I should rejoice to have one of your
beautiful gardens here I feel it would not be fair to you to encourage
you to accept any work from a man of Mr. Dunsmuir’s extraordinary
character.
P.S. You need not treat this as confidential unless you wish. Hon Mr.
Dunsmuir is not a Lord, not even a Knight.>>
