Ride on

Thousands of dollars raised for the Ottawa Hospital Story by Francella Fiallos

Sitting on his sofa with his mouth slightly agape, Irwin Waldman analyses a portrait of himself that was taken during one of six fundraising rides he’s completed over the years.

In the picture, Waldman and his bike fill up the entire frame. He’s clearly feeling triumphant: riding

the road with no hands, a big smile on his face, and arms fully outstretched.

Waldman points to his arms in the photo. They are covered by sleeves.

“It must have been cold that morning,” he says. “And there’s my flag right at the back of my helmet.

It’s a pain in the butt on a bicycle.”

The flag is supposed to symbol-

ize the rider’s victory over cancer, a disease that has touched Waldman – and his whole family – after he contracted bladder cancer in 1981 and again in the early 90s.

After approximately seven years of non-stop treatment, examination and surgery, Waldman was clear in 2007.

Preserving built heritage

Heritage designation recommended for Island Park gas station

Story and photo by Ted Simpson

A large piece of Kitchissippi history is on its way to being granted reprieve from certain doom, in the form of a new Heritage Designation, thanks in part to the efforts of one passionate local man.

The landmark that’s come into question is the small “cottage” style garage at the corner of Richmond Road and Island Park Drive, which was originally built in 1934 to serve as one of the very first drivein gas stations. The reason for its unique appearance is that in the era it was built, oil companies designed their new stations to blend in with the existing neighbourhood, a sort of reflection of what Island Park would have looked like in the 1930’s.

Local artist and history buff, Andrew King, took an interest in the building last summer after previous owners Island Park Autos shut down, leaving the lot vacant and its future up in the air.

“The nature of this neighbourhood is slipping away and unless we preserve these little pieces of history, we will lose an important connection to our past for future generations,” says King.

“It’s a small building, but many may not know why it’s an important part of our neighbourhood history that’s sadly being torn away for infills and condos.”

King turned his curiosity into a column in the Ottawa Citizen that detailed the history of the old garage and made a case for its significance to the neighbourhood and city as a whole. Over the past year,

King’s work has served as an impetus for Kitchissippi Ward Councillor, Jeff Leiper, and city staff to put together a proposal for Heritage Status for the building. This status would protect the building’s exterior design and location, and prevent any owner from altering them.

“Thanks to the City of Ottawa staff for going above and beyond in researching and compiling a great report on this Island Park Drive landmark that for many, is a gateway into the city from across the provincial border,” says King.

Obtaining Heritage Status designation under the Ontario Heritage Act is a fairly complex process: there’s the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, the city Planning Committee and then to City Council for a final vote. On August 14, the project cleared the first hurdle, as the Heritage Sub-Committee voted unanimously in favour of designating the garage based on its architecture, location and historical value.

The committee presentation invited King to speak about the significance of the building and present his research.

“There was no plan really, just to inform folks that may not know about its history... it worked,” says King.

Councillor Leiper said in his comments: “The station is more than just an architecturally interesting artifact, it is a symbol of how our city grew, and gives us pause to think about how we want it to continue to grow.”

There was one party on hand that was

not quite so receptive of the presentation, the property’s current owner, Main and Main.

“We have yet to identify a redevelopment strategy to come even close to being practical or workable for us,” said Daniel Byrne on behalf of the company.

When the property was first developed in the 1930’s, it was done in a way that sought to preserve the area’s existing look and heritage. Ironically, this is what King is asking of its current developer. “Hey, if

you want to be in the neighbourhood, you gotta be a neighbour who respects the ‘hood,” says King.

“My mom teaches voice, so I kind of grew up in that environment. I did study music at the Royal Conservatory for a few months, but I really couldn’t afford to stay there.

I’ve been in choirs here and there, but it’s mostly my mom that taught me to sing.

I’m on disability, so busking sort of pays my bills. I like it because I can set my own times to come out and play, some days my anxiety is really bad and I can’t go out. And I like making music, it’s my therapy in a way.

I’m really into preserving

traditional music. There are a lot of songs that get lost because people don’t sing them.

I really want to make sure those songs don’t get forgotten.

The song I was just playing, Clyde’s Water, it’s hundreds of years old.”

A youthful injection into longtime traditions New generation of fundraisers kick off campaign

By Jacob Hoytema

A new generation of community leaders are launching a new kick off event for the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Annual Campaign fundraiser.

FED Talks, a take on the popular TED Talks format, will take place at the Centrepointe Theatre on September 9.

Rather than just one keynote speaker, as there has been in previous years, the FED Talks event will feature three guests: Allison Josephs, founder of the popular “Jew in the City” blog, well-known Canadian activist Marc Kielburger and comedian Jon Steinberg.

This new format for the Annual Campaign kick off was implemented by members of the Ben Gurion Society.

According to the Federation website, the BGS is a “leadership development and recognition program” whose members are those between the ages of 25 and 45 who contribute more than $1,000 to the Annual Campaign.

This passing on to younger leadership fits in with the event’s theme of “l’dor v’dor,” a Hebrew phrase that means “from generation to generation.”

Federation President and CEO, Andrea Freedman, says that while this new approach to the kick off was structured by younger community members, the event will appeal to all generations.

“We really put it to [the organizers] to put together a schedule of issues that will challenge our community members, will stimulate them, and hopefully will

“You want all generations to be inspired and to be empowered to make a difference in our community.” engage the next generation as well,” says Freedman.

“You want all generations to be inspired and to be empowered to make a difference in our community.”

While the FED Talks event is technically being chaired collectively by the entire BGS, Tamara Fathi and Stacy Goldstein, both members of the Society, have taken the role of co-chair.

“We very much wanted to do this ‘from generation to generation,’ showing our elders that we’re now stepping up to the leadership and stepping up to the responsibilities in the community,” says Fathi.

“It was sort of our discussion among our peers saying ‘How do we want to change things but still stay true to the essence of what campaign kick off is?’”

Fathi adds that she is most excited to

hear from blogger Allison Josephs, whom she describes as “very insightful.”

She also expresses pride in supporting comedian Jon Steinberg, who grew up in Ottawa.

The FED Talks will be the kick off event for the JFO’s Annual Campaign for 2016, a fundraiser that Freedman calls “the engine of the community.”

Money raised from the campaign goes to a number of organizations both in the city and around the world, such as the

Ottawa Jewish Community School or the Hillel Lodge, a Jewish long-term care facility.

This year’s Annual Campaign is still ongoing. In 2014, however, the Campaign raised over $4.2 million.

More information about the FED Talks event is available through the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s website at jewishottawa.com. Tickets can be purchased from Centrepointe Theatre for $20 each at centrepointetheatre.com.

To make a difference, you need to create practical solutions. That was my goal when I worked for the United Nations, co-founded a charity to protect human rights, and taught at the Munk School of Global Affairs.

I am tired of divisive partisan politics. Knocking on over 50,000 doors in our riding I have heard your priorities: support for middle-class families, more jobs and stronger businesses, respect for the public service, and a more liveable and sustainable Ottawa. We can only do these things by bringing a new way of working to Parliament.

I will work as hard as I can to improve the lives of everyone in our community.

Le changement passe par des solutions pratiques.

C’était mon but quand j’ai travaillé pour les Nations Unies, cofondé un organisme caritatif pour la protection des droits de la personne et enseigné à l’École Munk des Affaires internationales.

Je suis fatiguée de la politique de division. Après avoir frappé à plus de 50 000 portes dans notre circonscription, j’ai entendu vos priorités : soutien aux familles de la classe moyenne, plus d’emplois et des entreprises prospères, respect pour la fonction publique et une ville d’Ottawa plus vivable et plus durable. Nous ne pourrons y arriver qu’en apportant une nouvelle façon de fonctionner au Parlement.

Je travaillerai aussi fort que possible pour améliorer la vie de tous dans notre communauté.

A view of Island Park Drive near St. George Parish Church in the 1920’s.

Hampton Park: a great example of real estate success A multitude of decisions shaped the neighbourhood we know today

By Dave Allston

Hampton Park is a popular, wellestablished and upscale neighbourhood and parkspace in Ottawa’s west end, which is exactly how subdivision founder John Charles Brennan envisioned it over 100 years ago.

Brennan, along with business associates Andrew Holland and William Scott, purchased the majority of what was the Cowley family farm in 1895. The land remained vacant as the surrounding area (Westboro to the west, and Hintonburg to the east) rapidly developed, largely through the arrival of streetcars, but Brennan was happy to sit on his investment and wait for an opportune time to develop.

Brennan had arrived in Bytown in his youth, working in – and eventually taking over – a well-known grocery store at Rideau and Sussex. He later turned to real estate, and was one of Ottawa’s most well-known and esteemed citizens, actively involved in many areas of social, political and church life.

By 1908, John had bought out Holland and Scott, and brought on his brother Herbert as a partner. In 1909, the brothers incorporated, naming their company Hampton Park Limited. “Hampton” was one of names they chose for their subdivision, deliberately titled after affluent districts of London, England, in order to create a sense of prestige and

“Hampton” was one of names they chose for their subdivision, deliberately titled after affluent districts of London, England, in order to create a sense of prestige and stature for the neighbourhood. stature for the neighbourhood.

It is interesting that the brothers selected the name Hampton Park, since, at the time, their 147-acre property was little more than old farm land, approximately a third of which was covered in thick tree and bush. The Park consisted of Wellington south to Carling, between Mayfair on the east (then the border between Nepean Township and the City of Ottawa) and Kensington on the west (with the exception of the Convent property). Like most proprietors of the era, they gradually created small subdivisions to meet demand.

The first Hampton Park plan was filed in March of 1910, establishing the small section of Mayfair and Piccadilly Avenues, between Wellington and the streetcar line (now Byron). Nowadays this would

be considered part of Wellington Village, but in fact this was the inaugural Hampton Park neighbourhood.

The first house in this area was constructed in late 1912 (421 Mayfair was built by Richard Bassett, for whom the adjoining street Bassett Lane is named).

In mid-1912, the second HP plan laid out the property immediately south of the streetcar line, creating three new streets: Kensington, Windsor, and Brenmore, plus extending Piccadilly and Mayfair to Iona Street.

Lots were offered from $400 to $650, with 10% cash down payments. Advertisements placed during that time reveal Brennan’s objective to promote the community as a “high class” residential section. Ads Continued on page 14

Continued from page 13 also assured potential residents: “There will be no shacks on Hampton Park.”

In 1914, the first lots south of Byron were sold to builder, John Foster, who immediately constructed three houses (440 and 446 Kensington, as well as the original no. 436 which burned in 1943).

In 1916, the first baseball game was played at Hampton Park, when the “Ottawa West” team joined the Trolley Line Baseball League (featuring teams representing the small communities along the streetcar line to Britannia). The original diamond was located closer to Byron.

Notably, in 1921, the Ottawa Improvement Commission purchased a large portion of Hampton Park for the new Island Park Driveway. This was a bonanza for Brennan, as the somewhat nondescript property suddenly bordered the popular new driveway on both sides. It is no wonder Brennan sold the required land for just $1.

The Driveway opened in 1923, leading to increased demand, so in 1925, Brennan filed a third HP plan, laying out the streets south of Iona to the C.N.R. line (now the Queensway). Interestingly, the plan also included a plan of streets and blocks on the west side of Island Park, including such streets as Cambden, Wilmer, a relocated Brenmore Avenue and extensions of several streets from the east side.

Herbert Brennan passed away in 1918 and John in 1926. H. Clifford Brennan (Herbert’s son) took a lead role in the continuation of the family business.

In late 1927, the Federal District Commission (now the N.C.C.) purchased 42 acres of Hampton Park property for $40,000, for future development. It was this move that thankfully saved the park space which remains nearly 90 years later.

In 1928, the first house was built on Island Park north of the C.N.R. (now 605 Island Park Crescent); in 1930, the first house on the west side. 470 Island Park Drive, built by John R. Booth Jr., grandson of the Canadian lumber and railway baron; in the mid1940s it was sold to the Mexican government to house its Ambassador.

sions, but were refused by the OMB, due to the problems it would cause to Nepean Township’s finances. The suburb would have to wait until 1950, when a large part of Nepean was added to Ottawa.

Island Park was once a dirt road open to vehicular traffic until the 1950s.

In July of 1956, playground and restroom facilities were built at the park, a water fountain added in 1964, and finally the wad-

“Lots were offered from $400 to $650, with 10% cash down payments.”

By the late 30’s, the real estate market had slowed, and Hampton Park Ltd. sold off lots at bargain prices, before eventually surrendering many lots to the Township due to unpaid taxes. Between the depression and WWII, it was simply not viable to continue to pay property taxes on vast amounts of land which could not be sold, even at prices as low as $50 or $100 per lot.

Home construction in this period was at a virtual standstill.

In 1939, the suburb became an independent police village, with a board of elected trustees, the ability to manage its own budget, and prioritize infrastructure development.

With the onset of WWII, many of the residents also participated in the successful Hampton Park War Service Group, who worked diligently to collect money, clothing and other contributions for the soldiers overseas.

In 1961, Hampton Park Plaza opened, featuring the Queensway Bowling Lanes and Dominion grocery store.

With the arrival of Queensway and the new off-ramp, a portion of the parkland was eaten up by Island Park Drive, which had to be shifted slightly to the west. What is now Island Park Crescent was the original Island Park Drive until 1963.

Hampton Park is a classic story of real estate success; a combination of one man’s vision and a series of fortunate events over a period of time which ultimately resulted in one of Ottawa’s finest and most unique neighbourhoods.

Community association gets a refresh

I’ve had it with you!

I’m calling my lawyer.

New board of directors ready to tackle area issues

Good people. Great lawyers.

Special to KT by Mike Redmond

You might not know it if your only experience with Island Park Drive is to be trapped in gridlock at rush hour, but the venerable street has a long and glorious history. And now, thanks to a newly revitalized community association, residents are pushing hard to preserve its special character and ensure this slice of Kitchissippi ward becomes a little more livable for those who dwell on and nearby Island Park Drive (IPD).

“IPD was built in 1910 by a forerunner of the National Capital Commission, specifically to be a scenic route. Just over 100 years later, it’s become a mess of traffic that ignores safety and speed signs, with 500 commercial vehicles a day flouting a law banning them from the street,” says Heather Mitchell, President of the Island Park Community Association or IPCA. At an annual general meeting this spring, the IPCA elected nine residents to create a new board of directors.

“It’s great to have the energy of a new board, especially when there are so many issues that need to be dealt with now and in the near future. In addition to the traffic dangers and linked pollution that is killing many trees, the covenants that guide the NCC’s stewardship of the street are up for renewal in a few years,” she says.

Working with the NCC to ensure the special and scenic character of Island Park is protected and preserved is one of the key goals of the IPCA. Mitchell and other members of the new IPCA board have already met with NCC staff and officials. Planning is underway for the NCC to attend a community meeting this fall to brief area residents on the covenants that are slated to expire in 2019. Mitchell promises the IPCA will ensure area residents have notice and opportunity to attend the fall meeting.

It’s no accident that the 1939 Royal visit to Ottawa included Island Park Drive in King George VI and Queen Elizabeth’s route through the capital. As

well as once hosting a train station, the street was designed to flow into the scenic parkway and driveway system created by the NCC, ending at Bates Island, hence the street’s name. It’s also been the long-time home to a number of embassies and ambassadors’ residences.

“It used to be a Sunday drive tradition in Ottawa to cruise Island Park and try to identify which home hosted which embassy or ambassador by the national flag flying outside the building. Now that tradition has been replaced with a massive flow of traffic, 80% of which comes from the interprovincial bridge,” Mitchell says.

She’s quick to point out that the efforts of the IPCA are not about special treatment for one street at the expense of the rest of the community. The traffic that Island Park hosts spills onto neighbouring streets and has an impact on all Kitchissippi residents. Creative options to redistribute some of the traffic without impacting the neighbouring communities must be explored, she said.

Early indications are that the re-energized IPCA is receiving a warm welcome in the community and having a positive impact. Door to door canvassing is seeing a growing and engaged membership. And, thanks to those early meetings with staff, the NCC has agreed to quarterly meetings with the IPCA and is looking at some concrete solutions that will be implemented soon.

Island Park Drive really is part of the city’s heritage and it can return to being more pedestrian and bike friendly and safe for cars and people both, as it was originally intended.

Everyone in the Kitchissippi area wins with that outcome, Mitchell

says.

The Bayview Animal Hospital hosted its third free “Pedicures in the Park” for neighborhood mutts, dogs, and puppies behind the Hampton Park Plaza on August 12. The event is part of an outreach and charity program to increase awareness for dog rescue groups, veterinarians in the city, and adoption programs.

“We wanted to think of ways to give back to the community and have some fun and give some exposure to the hospital as well,” says Bayview Animal Hospital manager Karen Burton.

The small park behind the Food Basics near Kirkwood Avenue and Carling Avenue is a regular meeting place for dog walkers, who often unleash their furry friends in the last minutes of a draining wading pool at the end of the day. So there was no question for the Bayview Animal Hospital, which is located nearby, where they would want to lend a hand or a paw.

“So, we came up with the idea of Pedicures in the Park,” says Burton. “Free nail treatments and a showcase as well.”

The past two events in June raised around $200 and $600, respectively.

“It’s a nice little gathering,” says owner Elaine Evraire. She also commended the Bayview’s support for dog rescue organizations.

Community rallies behind business owner “Words can’t express how thankful we are”

By Bradley Turcotte

The community is rallying around local business owner Alex Neron as he fights a recent diagnosis of colon cancer.

Community members staged a benefit event and created a donation fund.

The benefit, held August 1 at Hintonburg Public House, featured a live auction where local artists donated their art to Neron’s cause.

Neron, a self-taught artist who is the founder of Railbender tattoo studio and art gallery on Hamilton Avenue North, says he was “completely shocked” and “in disbelief” following his diagnosis.

“When you hear a diagnosis, you’re not educated on the topic so you’re sort of terrified and clueless,” Neron, 38, admits.

Susan Flynn, Senior Manager, Cancer Prevention at the Ontario Division of the Canadian Cancer Society, estimates there will be 25,100 new cases of colon cancer diagnosed in Canada this year.

“Everyone is encouraged to discuss their particular screening needs with their doctor,” Flynn adds on the topic of detection and prevention.

Neron assures his prognosis is hopeful and alongside traditional treatment avenues, he’s exploring alternative approaches.

High doses of natural supplements, acupuncture sessions, yoga and meditation are tools Neron is utilizing to fight the disease from a psychological perspective.

“I’d like to think it’s

helping,” Neron says.

“I’m lucky that my doctors are open to that.

We’re in good hands on both sides.”

Eating healthy has always been a part of Neron and his wife Marta’s lives as the recently wed couple met in an organic grocery store. Yet in light of Neron’s diagnosis, proper nutrition is now essential. Sugar, red meat and processed foods are out, although Neron says he does allow himself an occasional beer from

his neighbours at Beyond the Pale.

“Eating well can help you at each stage of cancer treatment and recovery,” Flynn reinforces. “It can give you energy, help you feel better and keep your body strong. It can help you cope with side effects during treatment. And it can help you heal and recover after treatment.”

However, health conscious food and alternative medicine treatments are not covered by the health care system. While

“They have been very humble and gracious. They have not once had their hand out. Your mind has to be on fighting the cancer and not worrying about paying your way every day.” – Creator of the donation fund,

Neron is still present at Railbender, his income is severely reduced while he undergoes treatment.

These revelations led local photographer and founder of Love Ottawa, Dwayne Brown, to start a fund to assist Neron during this difficult time.

Brown learned of Neron’s diagnosis through social media and, along with his Love Ottawa partner Anita Ruivo, set up the donation fund for Neron.

“It gives them some emotional support,” Brown says. “It lets them know that their community, their friends, their family, people that don’t even know them, in a way, have their back.”

“They have been very humble and gracious.

They have not once had their hand out,” Brown says. “Your mind has to be on fighting the cancer and not worrying about paying your way every day.”

Love Ottawa’s blog post on Neron’s plight ( l o v e - o t t a w a . com/a-helping-hand-theloverailbender-initiative) is the site’s most successful post to date, reaching close to 40,000 Facebook users.

The community’s support surprised Neron and he says that overwhelming feeling has been escalating.

“All I can say is words can’t express how thankful we are.”

Paper Towns at the Carlingwood Library Movie release party a hit with area teens Special to KT by Cathy Jing

On Thursday July 24, the Carlingwood Library held a party to celebrate the movie release of Paper Towns. Teens have been raving about John Green’s second book-to-film adaptation ever since his first movie success The Fault in Our Stars. The library’s very own TAG (Teen Advisory Group) members and Teen Services Librarian, Courtney Mellor, planned this party and its activities.

25 eager teenagers came to the party, where many exciting activities were set out for them. They first divided into four groups and played a Paper Towns trivia game. The game was intense, and a very close

call. Two members of the winning team each won a free copy of the book. (Of course, there were more opportunities to win prizes later on.)

The next activity was a paper town contest. The teens made their own unique town using old and unwanted books. The three winners received a large-size movie poster. To make their towns they folded the pages into the book’s spine, leaving out some pages to cut buildings, trees, and structures. The teens were bubbling with creativity: there was a paper parliament, a neighbourhood and an abstract town.

And finally, for the two grand prizes of a pair of free movie tickets, the group played “manhunt” (a mix

between tag and hide-andseek) around the library.

The movie release party ended with cupcakes, and 25 happy and satisfied teens.

“It was great to meet people who like the same thing,” says Liya Equbagzi.

“Everyone had fun, not just the winner!” says Fatmah Omran.

Many of the teens at Carlingwood expressed an interest in attending future movie release parties at the library. A Marvel party was one suggestion.

For a full listing of events at the library, go to biblioottawalibrary.ca.

Cathy Jing is a Kitchissippi resident and teen volunteer at the Carlingwood Library.

Irwin Waldman rides again Continued from page 1 “It just means that the department of urology, I think, is terrific. They deserve a little boost,” he says. “It’s just a little payback.”

To Waldman, a “little payback” would amount to $12,000 over six years.

Even though his story continues to be an inspiration for the Ottawa community, Waldman is not fazed by it at all.

“It’s unusual for an 80-year-old to be fundraising. I don’t think it’s such a big deal,” he says from his living room on Botanica Private near the Civic Hospital. “If it helps the foundation to do more effective treatments, I’m game.”

At 86, Waldman’s ability as a cyclist is unbelievably impressive. His cadence, or the average pedalling rate, is 80 revolutions per minute.

The oldest member of his cycling club, he often zips right past them as he completes the 100-kilometre Ride the Rideau in simply four hours.

“It started out as a bunch of us but then I hollered to the group leader that I was going ahead, and I’m gone.”

To help him achieve his ideal speed, it’s no question that Waldman needs a worthy bicycle.

The bike that he uses for the ride was a gift from his wife on his 70th birthday.

“It’s a nice bike: custombuilt, chrome alloy, and it’s the bike I’ll keep on riding with.”

While he uses a hybrid bicycle – or as he calls it, his “taxi” – for his day-to-day activities, his racing bike is safely stored in a locker and is never far from Waldman’s sight.

Looking back at his picture, Waldman can only characterize cycling and his advocacy work for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation with a simple yet powerful sentiment.

“It’s such a good time when I do this. I’m just having an absolute ball riding with a group like that.”

The fundraising, inspiration, and activism are all just extras.

Still, Waldman believes that he has a role to play in helping the Ottawa Hospital Foundation as a senior citizen.

“I wish I could make my story about the senior citizens in Ottawa,” he says.

“It all benefits the seniors.”

If every senior citizen donated $10 to the foundation, the result would be staggering, says Waldman.

“Things happen, you got to go and get repaired somewhere. The older you get, the more that gets wrong with you,” he says.

With that in mind, an impetus can be placed on older residents and cancer survivors to support the

foundation.

Waldman first participated in the Ride for personal reasons, but now he says, it’s mostly to encourage senior citizens like him to support the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

“Seniors, this is good for you,” he pleads. “To me, [supporting the foundation)] is a winner all the way around.”

In the meantime, Waldman is comfortable with his regular 60 kilometre rides up the Gatineau Hills while being one of the many recognizable faces of the tour.

Waldman has obviously come a long way from secretly riding his brother’s bicycle in the driveway to joining a bicycle club in Montreal, and hiking in the Alps in his 50s.

His fundraising goals and story has captivated people in the community and has piqued the interest of local media.

He welcomes the attention he has received, but for him, it really is all about racing.

“The ride in the fall is exhilarating,” he says.

“That hasn’t changed.”

This year’s RIDE fundraiser, formerly known as Ride the Rideau, is taking place September 13. For more information, or to donate, go to dotheride.ca.
