Great music and good friends at Music in the Park Story and photos by Anita Grace

On Sunday, September 15, more than 200 people gathered in McKellar Park to enjoy a free openair concert.

“I think this is awesome,” said Amanda Thompson, who brought her two sons to the park from their home just a block away. “I like any-

thing that gets the community together.”

Event organizer Patti Church said she had always wanted to bring music to this beautiful park. When her daughter Kayla introduced her to Craig Cardiff’s indie folk music, she knew that he was the perfect musician for this event. She also asked her friend and fellow

Kitchissippi resident, singer/songwriter Lee Ann McLellan, to play the opening set.

McLellan kicked of the event with some covers and original tunes.

She dedicated her set to India Buxton Taylor, a young girl who used to live in Kitchissippi and who has a rare terminal illness.

Relays to end children’s cancer Westboro runner has a personal connection Story and photo by Kristy Strauss

Two years ago, Scott Perry just needed a sport that would keep him in shape throughout the winter. He started running on a treadmill and has been running ever since.

“Buying new clothes is expensive,” the Westboro resident laughs. “I just needed some sort of exercise that would carry me through the winter.

But I really caught onto it and I really loved it.”

Now Perry is taking his passion for running and hoping to raise money for a cause that is near and dear to him.

On October 5, he will be taking part in the Sears Great Canadian Run – an annual 100 kilometre relay that takes place from Ottawa to Montebello, Quebec and raises money to end children’s cancers.

“I don’t have children myself, but what you go through as a parent, I can’t imagine,” says Perry, whose friend’s child was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in 2010.

Cole, who was five years old at the time, had a 12-centimetre tumour in his abdomen and lesions in his lungs and liver. The tumour had also grown to enter a major vein and into his heart. After 12-hour life-saving surgery, Cole began his treatments – and today, has just celebrated his two-year anniversary of being cancer-free.

We understand that everything from your financial statements to your savings to your personal goals are part of your big picture and that all of it needs to be included in the plan for YOUR future.

Westboro resident Scott Perry is getting ready to participate in the Sears Great Canadian Run, which is a relay to end children’s cancer and takes place in Ottawa on October 5.

While Cole was sick, Perry says he saw his friend’s emotional struggles and he knew he wanted to help in any way he could.

He decided to take part in the relay this year with his team, Cole’s Cancer Crusaders.

As a team, they hope to raise $25,000 with each individual member hoping to raise about $2,500 each.

The team is at more than 80 per cent of their goal and Perry says he’s well on his way to achieving his personal goal.

“Fundraising has been a lot of

fun,” he says.

In addition to his personal connection to children’s cancer, he says he was motivated to take part in the run after hearing how little money there is that goes to pediatric cancer.

“It’s the number one killer of children in North America, so that’s pretty impactful to me,” he says.

Perry adds that it feels great to take his love for running, and use it as a way to give back to an important cause.

He’s remained an active runner over the past two years, and even recently spent his holiday in France running – but also training for the event.

“When I was in Corsica, I was doing some hill running. When I got to Paris, I ran a 10K along the Seine and I just loved it,” Perry says.

Before taking part in this event, he says he didn’t give much thought to fundraising before.

But now, Perry says getting involved in the Sears Great Canadian Run has showed him ways that people can give back in their own way.

“It’s made us think about other causes and other creative ways to fundraise,” he says. “It really gets you thinking.”

Five things you should know: About Mary Thorne, executive director of the Westboro Village BIA Cape Breton,” she laughs. One of her most memorable musical experiences was singing in front of an orchestra. “It was the most amazing experience, the power of the music behind you… it just goes right through you. It was just spectacular.”

By Andrea Tomkins

You may have already walked right by the executive director of the Westboro Village BIA and not even known it. Mary Thorne lives in Westboro and is an avid shopper, and has spent the past few months talking to store owners and shoppers alike.

Retail is in her blood, and Mary has spent most of her career in the industry. She lived in Toronto before coming to Ottawa, working as a marketing manager at a mall in the DufferinBloor area. This is where she first learned a fundamental lesson that remains integral to her work life to this day.

“The better the health of the community, the better the business,” says Mary. “If you have a shared vision, there is absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish.”

Since Mary will be helping shape Westboro Village in the years to come, we thought it was reason enough to get to know her a little better.

1. Mary was born and bred in New Brunswick, and credits her positive outlook on her Cape Breton heritage.

“I’ve always been that way, I’ve always focused on the things that can be done, rather than the things that can’t,” says Mary. “We’ve always been survivors, living on an island that’s always been seen as a distressed area from an economic standpoint.”

2. Mary loves to sing.

She’s performed with folk groups and in a band that toured Cape Breton. She hasn’t been singing very much lately but she would like to explore the vocal stylings of artists such as

3. There may be a book inside of Mary.

Mary likes to write fiction in her spare time.

When she was in Toronto she had the opportunity to study with novelist Ania Szado at the Humber School for Writers, and all of the writers in her group have since became published authors. Maybe it’s Mary’s turn next?

4. You may or may not want to play a game of chess with Mary.

Mary picked up some tips from internationally renowned grandmasters when she did Public and Media Relations for the 1988 World Chess Festival. Consider yourself warned.

Enya, and Lorena McKennitt.

There’s a special place in her heart for big band sound as well.

“My father had a four-piece orchestra,” says Mary. “I was surrounded by big band music, which I guess is a little surprising for

Does pressing the walk signal really matter?

You asked, so we decided to find out.

Is there an issue in your corner of Kitchissippi that’s been puzzling you?

Perhaps there’s something you’ve always wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask and it’s keeping you up at night.

Send your burning questions (Kitchissippi-related of course) to editor@kitchissippi.com and we’ll help find the answer.

Q: I live in Westboro and when I’m walking North towards the village I often cross Byron at Roosevelt Avenue where a new set of lights was installed a few years ago. A friend told me that I should push the walk signal every time I cross, regardless of whether there are cars present or not. Apparently the City of Ottawa uses the signal to keep a record of how many people cross the street there. Is this true?

- Westboro Pedestrian

Famed Farmer’s Breakfast / Live Music / Community Connections

Dear WP, It’s true.

The City of Ottawa tracks how many times that button is pushed, and they’re able to pull daily tallies whenever they need to know how many pedestrians are using that intersection.

They can look at that information, compare days, and draw conclusions based on the available data.

I’m not sure about you, but I’m going to start pressing the button whenever I cross the street. It’s probably a good idea for the city to have accurate information, especially as it pertains to the ongoing discussions around pedestrian safety and traffic management.

Thanks for your question!

Community Health Semaine de la and Wellbeing santé et du bien-être Week 2013 communautaire 2013 September 30 – October 6, 2013

30 septembre au 6 octobre 2013

Join Community Health Centres across Canada from September 30 – October 6, 2013 as we celebrate Community Health and Wellbeing Week (CHWW2013). During CHWW2013, special events being organized by Community Health Centres across Canada will highlight the importance of shifting the conversation about health and health care and the important role that CHCs are playing.

Rejoignez les centres de santé communautaires de partout au Canada à partir du 30 septembre au 6 octobre 2013 pour célébrer la Semaine de la santé et du bien-être communautaire. Durant la semaine, des événements spéciaux organisés par les CSC à travers le Canada mettront l’accent sur l’importance de changer la conversation au sujet de la santé et les soins de santé y inclus le rôle important que jouent les CSC.

As things now stand, far too many people experience avoidable illnesses because health care across Canada remains fragmented and poorlyequipped to address the most important determinants of health — determinants such as access to good nutrition, housing, social supports, employment, income and education. These have a much bigger impact on health and wellbeing than strictly medical and biological factors, and our health system must be designed to better address these factors upstream. It’s time to shift the conversation in health and health care!

À l’heure actuelle, beaucoup trop de personnes au Canada éprouvent des maladies évitables parce que le système de santé au Canada demeure fragmentaire et mal équipé pour traiter les déterminants les plus importants de la santé – les déterminants tels que l’accès à une bonne alimentation, le logement, le soutien social, l’emploi, le revenu et l’éducation. Celles-ci ont un impact beaucoup plus important sur la santé et le bien-être que les facteurs strictement médicales et biologiques, et notre système de santé doit être conçu pour mieux répondre à ces facteurs en amont. Il est temps de changer la conversation dans les soins de santé et la santé!

Art for the H’art

One of the items in the silent auction to support H’art of Ottawa is this striking painting by local artist Patrick Mills.

By Mike Levin

For a couple months each year, usually March to May, the walls of the Ottawa Bagel Shop are splashed with the kind of colour that could come only from artists with absolutely no fear of their medium. They are, of course, the painters of H’art of Ottawa, and a lot of Kitchissippi homes have at least one of their works on the wall because sales at a Bagel Shop show are the type that commercial galleries cry for.

H’art is a studio for artists with disabilities. Some of its members, like Jane Cameron Award winner Jessica Whitney and Andre Lanthier, have been profiled in local media. With each painting, “you really get how that (artist) sees the world, how they are contributing to our community,” says Bagel Shop owner Vince Piazza, who owns 22 H’art pieces.

Local support often goes further than just buying paintings. On Saturday, September 28, an art sale and silent auction at the Orange Hall at 41 Rosemount Avenue will focus on helping the studio meet some of its equipment needs. All proceeds from the auction – featuring top artists like Patrick Mills, Chris Griffin, Andrew King and John Ceprano – as well as a portion of painting sales will go to H’art.

The paintings will not be H’art’s but an eclectic mix of styles and mediums, from oils and landscapes to watercolours and surrealism. There will be about 150 paintings on offer: 80 percent are originals; 15 percent are limited edition prints and lithographs; the rest are simple reproductions.

Perhaps the most striking thing about the event will be its prices. All the paintings come from a collector who believes that everyone should have art and that it shouldn’t break the bank to get it. He wants people to be able to add to a collection, or start one, for less than the cost of a night out for pizza and beer. That’s why sticker prices will range from $10–$100, excluding auction items. This could be of interest to a younger crowd who love art but shy away from high gallery prices.

The silent auction features some of Kitchissippi’s

best-known creators.

Chris Griffin is one of Ottawa’s best-known artists.

He displays some of his work in the windows of his wife’s organic skin-care store, Oresta, at 1121 Wellington Street around the corner from the Orange Hall.

There will also be a signed and framed photograph

by John Ceprano of his balanced-rock sculptures at Remic Rapids and a signed copy of Andrew King’s 2012 book Lighthouses of Prince Edward Country, full of King’s illustrations. Other items are still being added.

The sale will also give you a chance to see the delightful interior of Orange Hall, originally a fraternal Protestant hall dating from 1912.

Mike Levin is the publisher of www.unfolding.ca, where you can read more about H’art and some of the fabulous pieces you’ll find at the art sale.

Planning on attending this art sale and silent auction?

Here’s what you need to know: • Doors open at 10 a.m. sharp and ends at 3 p.m. but the silent auction ends earlier, at 2 p.m.

• All items are cash only, as is, and all sales are final.

• The organizers will accept cheques for silent auction items.

Umbrellas and interactive art displays seemed the common trend for the Hintonburg zone of Ottawa’s second Nuit Blanche celebration.

In spite of a relentless deluge from the sky, art lovers flocked to Wellington Street West to take in the surreal offerings from a variety of artists and performers, including a couple of notable local talents.

A standout display, in terms of both originality and visual impact, came from Alicat Art in Wellington West. The gallery’s owner, Alison Fowler and popular local artist Andrew King created a “visual distortion centre” that featured 3D art, colour shifting lights and music.

Created accidentally – or perhaps subconsciously on purpose – King’s attempted 3D art took on new life when he had to move it inside, away from the rain. “The 3D glasses didn’t work, but what works is the lighting on it, when a red light shines it eliminates all the reds and when a blue light shines it eliminates all the blue and that’s what causes the shifting patterns on the painting,” said King.

“We meant to do that,” laughs Fowler. “The light was originally there for my poppies, then we

Local artist Alison Fowler with her colour changing poppies.

brought (King’s) painting in and flicked on the lights and, ‘Whoa, it moves. Cool!’”

The lighting effect applied to Fowler’s four foot tall painting of poppies was a constant shift in colours and texture that gave a sense of life to the art.

Moving East, visitors to Cube Gallery were met with large cones of coloured light that patrons could interact with and manipulate via their smart phones.

Another standout exhibit and experiment in interactive art was the “Glitch Stations” installed at the Great Canadian Theatre Company.

The dark room was lit only by shafts of coloured light and permeated with strange, electronic music. As spectators manipulated wires and dials on glowing control panels, the lighting and music shifted with their

direction. Not to be forgotten was the large, pixelated projection of the original Super Mario video game.

The lobby at GCTC hosted a live rock band and bar to provide a welcome break from dreary weather.

However, regardless of the drizzle, the people of Kitchissippi continued to come out in droves, even later into the night.

A friendly group sporting tin foil hats explained to me that the metallic headgear was to aid communication with nearby aliens. They offered me enough foil to fashion a hat of my own – I respectfully declined.

With squishy shoes and battered umbrella, the scene changed to Orange Gallery where shuttle buses arrived to fanfare from a jovial crowd of partygoers wielding sparklers and balloons. Inside the band played and the wine flowed as artists created new work, live on the gallery floor.

Despite the rain, the Hintonburg zone at this year’s Nuit Blanche was a true embodiment of the unique and creative spirit of the neighbourhood.

Now let’s all cross fingers in advance that next year, nature is a little kinder.

Passionate about food and blogging Continued from page 6 her heart still lies in the sugary, sweet world of confectionery, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love baking, I love anything with sugar in it,â&#x20AC;? says Carrol.

Most of Carrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes come from the small library of cookbooks she has accumulated over the course of her blogging adventure, while a few original creations and family traditions are occasionally thrown into the mix.

Sharing her love of food and lending inspiration to the not-so culinarily inclined is what keeps Carrol so passionate about blogging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You do it and you feel so good and it makes you want to do it again,â&#x20AC;? she says of sending her posts out into the either and seeing positive and thankful feedback

from her readers.

One of the refreshing aspects of Culinarily Inclined is Carrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to be humble when it comes to the occasional culinary disaster. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see that it truly does happen to the best of us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once in a while I do post a recipe I totally messed up, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want my readers to think that everything that comes out of my oven is perfect,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get discouraged when you make something and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out lovely like the picture.â&#x20AC;?

Civic Hospital area resident Erin Bateman recorded the different types of garbage found in the Kitchissippi United Church cleanup.

Lizzie Snoxell, 3, Miya Nagaraj, 4, and Oliver Snoxell, 7, made a game out of finding pieces of garbage, but left the pieces of glass for the adults to pick up.

More than 25 people joined the Kitchissippi United Church cleanup, collecting more than 10 bags of garbage, the majority of which was broken glass, cigarette butts, plastic bags, and clothing items (although participant and Civic Hospital area resident Simon Snoxell found two unopened bottles of beer).

Participants are welcome to join cleanups this weekend in Kitchissippi: Westboro Beach on Saturday, September 28, at 10:00 a.m. and Remic Rapids on Sunday, September 29 at 3:00 p.m. Visit www.shorelinecleanup.ca for details.

Car-Free for a day

Ottawa’s alternative transportation celebration centres on Westboro Story and photos by Denise Deby

Car traffic on Richmond Road between Golden and Tweedsmuir temporarily came to a halt to make way for pedestrians, bikes, roller blades, skateboards, scooters, wheelchairs, strollers and a unicycle on Car-Free Day, Sunday, September 22. Organized by EnviroCentre and the City of Ottawa as part of Sustainable Transportation Week, Car-Free Day demonstrated options for getting around while staying healthy.

People had the opportunity to try OC Transpo’s Rack & Roll bicycle carrier, and give Capital VéloFest’s bike-powered fruit smoothie machine a whirl. They test-drove RightBikes, learned about the Ottawa Inline Skating Club, tried yoga and hooping, watched films, enjoyed music and saw what area businesses had to offer. On hand were organizations including Ecology Ottawa, climate change group 350.org and bike safety

group CAN-BIKE, as well as sustainable transportation providers such as VRTUCAR car-sharing and RightBike, while local churches held Bike or Bus to Church initiatives.

Some festival-goers had heard about the event beforehand, while others were pleasantly surprised to find the street closed to vehicles.

“We’re totally supportive of cycling and walking; it’s why we live here,” said Westboro resident Claudia Lozano, who dropped by with her family after walking past and discovering the Car-Free Day festivities.

“For one day, we’re re-creating a public space and imagining a more pedestrian- and cycle-friendly area,” explained EnviroCentre’s Josie Howitt.

In leaving their cars at home and strolling or rolling through the ‘hood, Kitchissippi residents joined people in over 1500 cities in 38 countries to mark World CarFree Day.

Bringing back the Y

Time is running out to show your support

The YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region is urging everyone who wants a to see Y in the Carlingwood community to pre-register now in order to make the new west-end location a reality.

The YMCA-YWCA has until September 30 to meet its membership goal, of which more than 30 per cent has been reached to date. The Y cannot proceed with a new facility in Carlingwood without the necessary level of commitment from the community.

“Many people in the community have expressed their verbal support for our plans and their intentions to pre-register,” says Tosha Rhodenizer, Vice President, Health, Wellness and Family Engagement at the YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region. “We need all those people to step forward now and show their commitment. Please don’t wait – the deadline to meet our goal is fast approaching and we absolutely must meet this membership target by September 30 if the Carlingwood Mall Y is to proceed.”

The YMCA-YWCA announced in late July its wish to bring the Y to Carlingwood Mall. If the membership target is reached, the 23,500 sq. ft. space in the mall would be renovated to offer strength training and aerobic conditioning equipment, seniors programming, group exercise classes and children’s recreational programs. The location also has a pool for leisure swims, aquafit classes, and children’s swim lessons, as well as social spaces and room for child minding services.

As community members of the Preston-Carling Area, your insights into the history of the neighbourhood and opportunities for improvement are incredibly valuable.

We invite you to attend the Public Information Session to review the team’s work in progress and to provide your feedback on our preliminary suggestions for streets, parks and open spaces.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call 3-1-1 or e-mail the project lead below before the event.
