The Human Library Project offers opportunities to broaden perspectives by signing out people for twenty minute interviews. This year, the second year that CBC and the Ottawa Public Library have collaborated on the venture, two Kitchissippi residents were on loan January 26.
Using our media privileges, we ‘borrowed’ drag queen Zelda Marshall and CBC personality Giacomo Panico before the event. “I’m originally from Vancouver where the snow stays in the mountains where it belongs,” says Marshall who was the grand marshall of the Ottawa Pride Parade in 2011. “I came to Ottawa for the
work and stayed for the drag.” Considered a beloved and mentoring grandmother in Ottawa’s drag scene, Marshall notes that drag isn’t only about looking fabulous and having all the best dance moves. “There’s a long tradition of fundraising and giving back to the community,” she says. “And you absolutely Continued on page 8

Temperatures might have been frigid, but Westboro Beach residents celebrated the winter by the water as part of the annual Westboro Beach Community Association Winter Carnival. “We want to get neighbours out and bring people together to enjoy the best beach in the area,” said Peter Bruton, a member of the community association who helped organize the event. The event took place at the beach on From left Bonnie Campbell and Catherine Casserly, both of Westboro Beach, Jan. 26, and included a bonfire and warm up by the fire with Kitchissippi Councillor Katherine Hobbs. marshmallows, snow soccer, tobogganing, snow building and colouring, hot dogs and coffee. Some of the younger residents also enjoyed hot chocolate between toboggan rides. The next big event to watch for will take place in June, said Bruton, when the community holds the official beach opening for the summer.

Parents of students who will be in JK at both Elmdale and Devonshire next year voiced considerable concern over the burden of daycare changes if their children are not located at their home school, with older siblings. Some parents noted they are already having to commit to daycare for their children next year, with non-refundable deposits. For parents with children in SK as well as JK next year, the possibility of dropping young children off at two locations for two half-day programs was deemed especially difficult. The Board will announce its decision March 5. Parents are invited to submit comments on the Interim Solutions by email: NearWestReview@ocdsb.ca by February 6. Questions around the educational format for Grade 6 students, should they move to Fisher Park next year, were repeated. Board officials were unable to say if Grade 6 students would move from teacher to teacher for different subjects or remain with one teacher, in a consistent classroom. Fisher Park PS is currently operating at 61% capacity and Connaught PS is at 45% capacity.

Area photographers kick it up for CARE Canada Photobook celebrates unique talent in the spirit of inspirational Canadians
Story & photos By Kristy Strauss
John Bagnell and Dwayne Brown are taking their love of photography and helping others around the world. The duo, along with eight other photographers, was chosen to have their work featured in a photo book called WIDE OPEN: A Canadian Perspective. The book will raise money for CARE Canada - an organization committed to fighting global poverty. “I was just thrilled to be asked,” said Bagnell, a Carlingwood resident. Bagnell and Brown, who’s from Hintonburg, were asked to contribute some of their work as part of the fundraiser organized by Kickass Canadians. Headed by Amanda Sage, kickasscanadians.ca features inspiring Canadians who have unique experiences and talent and who strive to make the country a better place. The photo book features unique Canadian scenes, including work by Brown and Bagnell. “I do stuff for the National Arts Centre,” said Brown. “I did a shot of red chairs and the red curtains – it’s a neat little personal composition.” Bagnell said one of his images selected for the book were of hay bales in Bearspaw, Alberta, which is just outside Calgary. “Photography started as a hobby for me,” he said. “Now it’s turned into a very

For the love of basketball An annual journey of giving
Story & photo by Mike Carroccetto
A Hintonburg man has turned his love for basketball into a personal mission to help children back in Nicaragua, where he grew up. Danilo Velasquez lives in a building overlooking the Parkdale Market in the heart of Hintonburg. But that’s not where his story starts. Twenty-five years ago, Danilo Velasquez came to Canada alone, “a war refugee,” he says and settled in Ottawa. “I came to Ottawa on September 14, 1988 all by myself, searching (for) a better life and better opportunities than (Nicaragua) could offer.” Since 1994, at least once a year, the just-turned 47-year-old Technical Support Engineer, has returned to Nicaragua to visit his family. However, it was just over a decade ago having seen many Nicaraguan kids unable to play in a basketball league because they didn’t have jerseys that the former Nicaraguan national bas-
Each winter Hintonburg’s Danilo Velasquez, a former Nicaraguan national basketball player, returns to his home in Nicaragua with suitcases full of basketballs and jerseys for children who want to join in the game.
ketball player decided to make these trips home about sharing opportunities as well as visiting family. Velasquez began collecting used balls, jerseys and shoes for his next trip home. He contacted Ron Yeung at Basketball Canada, and explained the situation. He says “they were touched by (my) story” and through the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program, they got on board. Yeung, for one, says he’s “excited to work with Danilo” and

Velasquez can count on Basketball Canada’s continuing support. A few years ago, while Velasquez was working with The Masha Krupp Translation Group, they got on board too, with uniforms of shirts, shorts and shoes. In 2001, just months before the birth of his third daughter, Velasquez went back to Nicaragua with gifts – not for his family, but for the children of Nicaragua. Every January,
Velasquez, now a father of four daughters who range in age from 21 to 7 months, goes back to Nicaragua. He personally hands out the basketball equipment to 12 to 15-year-old children. A few years ago when Velasquez had 50 balls to give away, he held a freethrow contest on a court in his coastal hometown of Leon. Every child who sunk a basket received a new ball. Velasquez headed south on January 15 with two large suitcases full of basketballs and jerseys. Air Transat, his longtime carrier, contributes to the cause by waiving all baggage fees so Velasquez can bring as much as he can collect without worrying about the size or weight of his luggage. This year, Velasquez brought his 11-year-old daughter, Jahnessa, to Nicaragua. Like her father, she’s making a contribution of her own. “She’s donating school materials and all of her old toys,” he said.

West Wellington’s Giacomo Panico studied mechanical engineering at university. After his studies, he found himself drifting from his preferred role as educator at the Aviation museum into project management when he decided it was time to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. “I’ve been working for CBC for 5 years,” says Panico, explaining that he began his radio career with a Monday night show on CKCU that he took very seriously. “After two years at CKCU, I did a short internship with CBC in Montreal and then cornered Adrian Harewood at a public function and managed to convince him to let me shadow him at CBC Ottawa for a day.” Turns out CBC was just the right fit for Panico who wowed editors and producers at the story meeting

“Whether it’s tobogganing in Hampton Park or the Arboretum, inviting the girls’ friends over after school and heading off to an indoor or outdoor skating rink, or cross-country skiing, there are lots of free or affordable choices close by.” For McMenamin who spent many years as a tree-planting chef, healthy eating is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and she tries to stay clear of processed foods. “When the kids are ready for a snack, we emphasize choices like fruit and vegetables,” she says. Finally, McMenamin values fresh air. “We do a lot of different activities, but we try to focus on physical activities that are outside.” Come spring, the girls will play soccer and tennis as they do each year. And in the summer, an overnight kayak camp will be a highlight of their vacation, just as it was last summer.

“My husband plays hockey, the girls take Highland dance classes and are on a swim team and I’ve been part of a spin class for several years,” she says, noting that there are many opportunities to join all kinds of fun activities in the neighbourhood. “We’re also close to great skiing and we ski as a family every weekend.” McMenamin and her family chose to return to Kitchissippi after a two year stint in Paris partly because they have close friends in the neighbourhood, but also because it’s a walkable neighbourhood full of great activities. “Paris was wonderful and we enjoyed walking everywhere, but there weren’t so many opportunities to be active,” she says. “As well as our organized sports and classes, we like to create social time with friends that involves being active,” says McMenamin.

Providing healthy choices for 35 years Rainbow Foods – Celebrating its 35th Anniversary! From humble beginnings back in 1978 when Janet & Michael Kaplan first opened their doors, Rainbow has gradually grown into a 7,000 sq. ft. natural market with a vast selection of health products. Now celebrating 35 years in business, Rainbow is one of the largest health food stores in the area and is still growing. Michael and Janet Kaplan In 1978 the store contained just a few bins, one shelf of supplements and a few packages of speciality groceries. Janet and Michael manned the cash register, cut cheese, filled bins, ordered products and stocked the shelves with a little help from family members and an occasional part-time worker. As vegetarians and part of a movement in the early 70’s to get away from processed foods, Janet and Michael provided baskets of dry beans, grains, granolas, rice, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and many more back-to-basics foods. Rainbow still carries all these products, but much, much more. Food is still the main focus at Rainbow but large Supplements and Bodycare departments have been incorporated, along with environmentally-friendly cleaning products, gifts, household appliances and even a pet section. The Grocery department offers cereals, pastas, snack items, teas, juices, and energy bars. With many customers on special diets, Rainbow stocks a large selection of gluten-free breads, cookies, crackers and pastas as well as dairy-free cheese alternatives and beverages. Following the founders’ roots, vegetarian and vegan products can be found in all departments of the store. After 35 years of growth, Janet and Michael are looking to retire in the next few years. Happily the store will be staying in the family with son Mischa and his wife Sarah taking over the business and carrying on the work of bringing the best in natural products to the Ottawa area.

Your health can improve! The majority of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay with an exercise program long enough to enjoy the benefits. We start out too hard, get sore, quit, then later feel guilty and start up again too hard - and the cycle repeats itself. Maybe one of the reasons that we have trouble breaking the cycle is because we have been looking at exercise from the wrong point of view.The latest research strongly supports a not so subtle recommendation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just get active! The great thing about being a member of the RA Centre is that there are many forms of exercise to explore. We all know that our chances of sticking with a program improve exponentially when we are having FUN.
Just get active - Join us at the RAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LifeFIT Centre
â&#x20AC;˘ Learn something new - If you enjoy the exercise of learning, our specialized programs like Learn to Play Tennis and Gentle Pilates will put the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whyâ&#x20AC;? into your training regime. When our bodies are engaged in an activity that is new, our minds are being stimulated as well.Taking on new interests such as Chess or Photography is equally beneficial to your health. â&#x20AC;˘ Train with a Friend - find a partner who you can share your commitment. When either of you is having an attack of low energy or starting to make excuses, the guilt alone will get you going. Nothing like knowing your buddy has reserved a 7:00 a.m. Squash game to get you out of bed! â&#x20AC;˘ Play a sport - We are good at preparing for meetings and dinner parties, but so many times we forget to prepare our bodies for a new sporting season. With summer sports on the horizon, preseason training might be just the inspiration for a new direction in your fitness program. â&#x20AC;˘ Work with a Coach - Start your new commitment with personal training sessions or private lessons to improve your Tennis, or Badminton game. Personal coaching and the full attention of a professional can be a very motivating boost to an exercise program. Your health will improve the more you move!

An integrative approach to health What does it mean to be an integrative pharmacy and how can it help you? An integrative approach means combining the best of western-style medicine and complementary therapies. Western-style medicine includes prescription medications and over-the-counter medicines such as Tylenol, whereas complementary therapies include supplements, vitamins, and homeopathic preparations. At Watson’s Pharmacy, an integrative approach also includes preparing customized compounded medicines to meet your individual needs. Here are some examples of how an integrative approach can help with specific health concerns. Pain management: Pain can be treated using over-the-counter medicines like Motrin or stronger prescription medications.To complement these, pharmacist Scott Watson, often recommends supplements such as Magnesium Glycinate from companies such as Metagenics or Pure Encapsulations, Benfotiamine from AOR, and topical creams such as the Kayala’s Ultimate Pain Cream. In Watson’s compounding lab, he works with doctors specializing in pain to create creams containing prescription medications that can be applied directly to the affected area.This targeted approach tries to minimize the side effects of these medications. Menopause: While there are effective prescription medications to help with the symptoms of menopause, some people prefer to try alternative approaches. Watson often recommends supplements such as Remifemin’s Black Cohosh and Metagenics’ Estrovera. Nutrient mixtures made by Douglas Laboratories and AOR may also be effective. In Watson’s lab, he often prepares various types of bio-identical hormone therapies in capsule or cream forms to meet the specific needs of patients and doctors. Sleep issues: In addition to the many effective prescription medications available to help with sleep issues, some people may benefit from over-the-counter therapies such as Melatonin supplements or nutrient blends such as AOR’s Ortho-Sleep. Sometimes a simple Magnesium supplement may help people relax. Watson works with sleep specialists to develop effective prescription medicines in his compounding lab to meet the specific needs of patients.

From sharp cartoons to landscapes
OPEN HOUSE FEBRUARY 6th, 2013 6:30-8:30 pm
Son’s book a tribute to his father’s art and life By Kathleen Wilker
Walk into Allan Silburt’s home and you’re immediately greeted by his father’s framed political cartoons lining the hallway. Just 15 years old when the stock market crashed, the elder Silburt, Josh, was a Jewish communist who came of age when the labour movement and trade unions were just gaining ground. “Having done a Masters in political cartoons myself, I was intrigued when Allan approached me with the idea for the show, a retrospective of his father’s life to accompany his own book launch of A Colourful Life,” says CUBE Gallery’s Don Monet. After many years as a political cartoonist, Josh Silburt turned to landscape painting in the late 50s when the biting comments about politics and labour he was making were no longer welcome in mainstream newspapers and he found himself out of work and struggling to support his family. “My mother pushed him to take night school art classes and he found people doing landscape art and completely changed direction,” says Silburt, who has put together a gorgeous coffee table book by accessing archives for the cartoons and contacting private collec-
“Silburt, the youngest in his family, conducted hours of interviews with his mother, his father’s colleagues and relatives while researching the book.” tors for the full colour photos of his father’s many landscapes, painted in the style of the Group of Seven—fitting for an artist who studied under L. L. Fitzgerald, who belonged to the legendary Group of Seven. Silburt, the youngest in his family, conducted hours of interviews with his mother, his father’s colleagues and relatives while researching the book. He also writes from memories of painting trips across Canada, when his father kept one eye on the road and the other on the passing landscape, always ready to stop if a scene inspired him. “The Art and Drawing of Josh Silburt” opens at CUBE Gallery on February 6. The event will include Allan Silburt’s book launch.
Registration for Fall 2013 programs starts February 6 at the open house. Phone or email for a tour of our school and to meet the teachers!
