here is quite a bit of change going on along the Wellington/ Richmond Road corridor. We’ve had some businesses leave, to be replaced by a fresh crop of newcomers. The neighbourhood may be changing, but these new businesses seem to fit right in with the crowd, offering new experiences, products, and more things to do in Kitchissippi. It took awhile, but one of the biggest additions of note is the arrival of the new Second Cup/Pinkberry on Richmond Road at Holland Avenue. The location is in competition with the nearby Bridgehead and Thyme and Again for the area’s coffee market but will no doubt see a good share of foot traffic in the location once inhabited by iconic World of Maps. Just down the street is a new law office, one with deep history in the neighbourhood. Formerly Nectar Fine Teas, the location at 1250 Wellington St. W. is returning to its roots, in a way. DioGuardi Law, co-run by Paul and Brigitte DioGuardi, follows in a long line of DioGuardis. The spot was once occupied by another Dioguardi, Paul’s father, under the name “Phillipe’s Smoke Shop” back in the 1950s. “It was just a small location, but my father put me through law school and he put my sister through medical school,” says Paul. The law office promises a friendly, drop-on-by atmosphere and a speciality in wills, offering a new selection of services to the community.

Meanwhile, Hair Fellas is opening a new school for barbers. Located a bit further west on Wellington, the school offers low-cost barber programs that promise to bring an apprenticeship atmosphere to barber education. For the new generation of barbers, this will no doubt be a wonderful resource. Further into Hintonburg, a French bakery has risen. Les Moulins La Fayette is in the Eddy building at Irving and Wellington West across from Tooth and Nail. Its location makes it an excellent spot for an afternoon pick-me-up. See page 9 for more information about this new addition to the neighbourhood. Near the Parkdale Market, there is a whole lot of change going on. Not only was Holland’s Cake location taken over by Morning Owl, but Crazy Carl’s at 233 Armstrong St. is now The Nostalgia Warehouse. It’s a perfect opportunity to grab a coffee and browse vintage decor and collectibles. Moving west, Arc of Life Chiropractic opened at 1318 Wellington St W. near Clarendon Avenue. They offer massage therapy as well as chiropractic care. Luxury consignment shop and showroom, Valamode, opened at 1367 Wellington St. W. If you’re interested in luxury brands and fashion, this is the destination for you. Trish Barr, the director of Wall Space Gallery, has seen plenty of changeover over her tenure in Wall Space’s Richmond

The Hintonburg community welcomed Les Moulins La Fayette at 1000 Wellington St. W. this summer. PHOTO BY ANDREA TOMKINS Road location. The gallery has been part of the Westboro arts and culture scene for 10 years and they are celebrating this special milestone with a dance party on August 18 from 9 p.m. on. All proceeds go to Cornerstone Housing for Women, an organization which provides housing for women in Ottawa and is opening a new residence in Westboro this summer. While Trish is excited to be celebrating 10 years, she is aware of the challenges new businesses face establishing themselves in the competitive Westboro marketplace. “Starting a small business is hard. Rewarding, but hard,” she says. “There

are a lot of new businesses coming in that really seem to get the Westboro vibe.” The gallery’s official anniversary celebrations happen to coincide with the Westboro Fuse Street Festival. Trish promises that Wall Space’s offering for the festival will be the “most instagrammable location” on the strip. (That sounds like a challenge to the other participating businesses!) Westboro, Wellington Village, and Hintonburg are always evolving. While some businesses have departed, cool new ventures have been steadily filling their places. What’s next for the neighbourhood? Only time will tell.

My husband and I had a great dinner at a local restaurant I’ve been eager to visit, thanks to a gift certificate I won at a recent “Kindred Kats” raffle at Kindred Shop and Studio (1243 Wellington St. W.). There were some excellent prizes up for grabs – all generously donated by local businesses – and all the money raised through raffle ticket sales was donated to Cat Rescue Network. (Read more about the great work they do at catrescuenetwork.org.) I met some very cute cats that day and I certainly didn’t expect to win a gift certificate to Bar Lupulus (1242 Wellington St. W.). I’ve wanted to dine here ever since Paula Roy wrote about it in KT but haven’t made the time. Bar Lupulus is famous for its wideranging beer menu (the word Lupulus is Latin for ‘common hop’ after all) and we had a fantastic dinner and, of course, beer. After dinner we went to Merry Dairy (102 Fairmont Ave.). It was a warm summer evening and the place was full. Our treat of choice: roasted banana ice cream in waffle cones. We enjoyed the scene on the outdoor patio. Families congregated around picnic tables and a little girl’s cone drooped to the side and as a result, dripped melting ice cream on the family dog. He didn’t seem to mind at all. Arriving home with full bellies, I thought about how amazing it is to eat

Meet Greg Cullen “I was born and raised in Centretown and when they tore down Lebreton Flats in 1962 we moved to Highland Park. I’ve lived in the Kitchissippi area most of my life. I like that all the conveniences are here; all the shopping. It’s family oriented area and the crime rate is very low. People are very nice to one another and I have excellent neighbours. “I’m retired now, but I used to work in heating and ventilating and I got to go to Japan and work at the Canadian Embassy there for three weeks. They couldn’t hire local people so I got to go. From there I travelled to Hong Kong, Hawaii, and Thailand. My favourite part of that trip was Phuket, Thailand because it is so beautiful there. “I was very active when I was younger, but now my arthritis slows me down. I have twin daughters and a son who are all grown up now. If I could do anything in the world, I’d love to travel some more and go to England and France. My dad taught me to never burn any bridges and that’s how I try to live my life.” COLLECTED BY ELLEN BOND

from someone in Ireland and I’ll think, “huh, that’s cool!’” Seven years and five million views on his blog later, John has a line of greeting cards in the U.K., online merchandise, and now a book to add to his cartooning career. His cartoons have even taken him onto the pages of Time Magazine. He was first contacted by email by then-managing editor, Nancy Gibbs. He was originally convinced it was a joke, but he “couldn’t type faster” after realizing it was real – that is, once he “brushed the stucco off my hair from hitting the ceiling.” Since then, his work has appeared in 96 issues, making him the only regularly featured cartoonist in the magazine’s 95-year history.

is comics have been shared by the likes of George Takei. He’s Time Magazine’s only regularly published cartoonist. He’s just published a book. And he could be your neighbour. Kitchissippi’s John Atkinson is the creator of Wrong Hands and the author of Abridged Classics: Brief Summaries of Books You Were Supposed to Read but Probably Didn’t, released last month by HarperCollins. Abridged Classics takes a stab at the literary canon, hilariously summarizing everyone from Jane Austen to Franz Kafka with silly doodles and short captions. Though the book extensively references literature, its appeal is universal, designed for bookworms and anyone who dreaded picking up Shakespeare in high school. Interestingly, John doesn’t consider himself well read. “I haven’t even read my book,” he jokes. He suggests that readers who memorize his captions can now pretend they’ve read 100 books over the summer by simply reading his. A graphic designer by trade, John has been drawing cartoons all his life, having submitted cartoons to the New Yorker when he was 13-years-old. “I think I still have the rejection letter somewhere,” he says. The book is dedicated to his children, who indirectly helped launch a cartooning career borne out of doodles and drawings intended to make them laugh. After about a year of posting his work online, he began to notice his cartoons were picking up steam. “I’d post a cartoon and ten minutes later I’ll get a message

There is in our business a term that is used “cosmetic pointing”. This is when a person puts a bit of mortar over holes in the mortar, brushes it and off he/she goes. The client does not know any better but it looks good. This is not the way pointing gets done. The area that has loose or missing mortar needs to chipped out, at least 1/2 to 3/4 of inch, raked out and then filled with new mortar so that the joints are well packed and keep their integrity. this is more time consuming but a more detailed and long lasting job. Stone pointing is an even more labour intensive process. If the mortar has colour, the mason will need to try and match the colour as close as possible to the old mortar.

EARLY DAYS Kitchissippi’s shanty town

Hardly a trace remains of this village of homeless families at Tunney’s Pasture BY DAVE ALLSTON

piece of Kitchissippi’s past has slipped away with time, so shocking in its tragedy that it is almost unbelievable. This story has never been written about in any book or blog and has almost been deliberately erased from history. Few who experienced it are still alive, and aside from a few photographs buried in a family album and the depths of the city archives, hardly a trace remains of the Tunney’s Pasture shanty village that existed for 25 years. In the early 1930s, the north end of Tunney’s along the Ottawa River was far from the scenic parkway and path space it is

today. The rocky shoreline led to an uneven sun-dried field covered largely in bush and scratchy sod, a few trees, and muddy creeks. The land sat undeveloped in its natural state. Various ideas for industrial, residential and government use were proposed. Meanwhile, the Great Depression, WWII, and a housing shortage crisis in Ottawa made hard times even harder for many families. Neighbourhoods like Mechanicsville and Hintonburg already had significant numbers of residents who struggled to get by, even at the best of times.

The poorest residents of the community fell victim to homelessness, often out of their own control. A lost job, illness, or a greedy landlord could send a family out on the street and there were very few social services to help. Families who found themselves out of options began congregating at Tunney’s, constructing makeshift homes with found materials. What began as a shortterm summertime solution for the most desperate turned into long-term urban blight, which authorities were unable, or unwilling, to fix.

The Majdoub Group: An easy place to be

t’s all about the personal touch at The Majdoub Group and owner Meiz Majdoub is one of the friendliest, least intimidating financial planners you may ever meet. This father of four, soccer fan and self-described “armchair quarterback” moved to Westboro from Orleans in 2004. Majdoub Group was first founded in 1998 and Meiz, a chartered Financial Planner, has been a Financial Advisor since 1984. “It’s the personal touch we have with people,” says Meiz, commenting on the key to his success over the years. “They sit down and feel they’re having a conversation. It’s not an inquisition.” Majdoub Group helps families, business owners, and not-for-profit organizations with insurance plans, financial planning, income taxes, setting up group benefits, and more. Many clients are over 50 and as Meiz describes, “need some guarantees in their life.” Many people begin thinking about their financial future as they approach retirement, but getting informed earlier makes a huge difference when it really

matters. Insurance is one of the services offered by Majdoub Group. Meiz says disability and critical illness insurance is key, especially for part-time workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. “There’s a fair chance something is going to happen between age 40 and 65 – cancer, heart

attack, stroke,” says Meiz. “We are all concerned about life insurance, but what will $50,000 or $500,000 mean to you if you are not able to work? Wouldn’t it be nice to know your mortgage is taken care of, that you can put food on the table?” That’s the advantage of living benefits.

Majdoub Group is hosting free seminars on August 16, September 20, and October 18 about creating a Personal Pension Plan. It’s a chance to meet Meiz in a low-pressure setting and come away with expert advice about achieving guaranteed income for life regardless of market performance. Anyone who does or doesn’t have a pension will find his gentle guidance valuable and there’s absolutely no obligation. Contact the office to register. Financial expertise aside, it’s clear that Meiz really likes people. He’s heard many times that he’s easy to talk to. “That’s been my career,” he says with a smile. “I’m not here to sell a product, but to educate you about the options,” he says. “My door is open. It’s an easy place to be. Just come by and have a conversation.” For details about Majdoub Group services, see www.majdoub.com. Meiz Majdoub, B.Comm, CLU, CH.

FALL FAIR AT UNITARIAN HOUSE!

L.A. SICOLI MASONRY & RESTORATION

@Kitchissippi

food, clothes and water when they could. Shockingly, an Ottawa Water Works engineer stepped in when it was discovered that non-taxpaying families of four veterans living in shanties were obtaining eight pails of water each day from nearby houses. Notices were sent to the households ordering them to stop. Children from Le Port attended local schools and it was known they were very poor. Nuns at the Catholic schools reportedly provided exceptional care and provided breakfast and lunch. The Fex and Jodoin families were two of the first to arrive in the 1930s, while the Bourguignons, Landrys, Clermonts and Alberts were residents for more than ten years. The population increased in the late 1940s as veterans returned to their old neighbourhoods to find little vacancy, or at least nothing affordable, and were thus forced to build shanties. The village also became a temporary home for transients who rode freight trains and jumped off approaching the yard at Bayview (often for fear of being caught). Continued on page 15

kitchissippi.com

“Houses” of cardboard, tarpaper, and occasionally framed with wood were built with earthen floors, no electricity, no water, and no sewer. Families with 8-10 children lived in these structures year-round, heated only by a stove in the middle of the room and crudely vented through a wall. Entire families shared one mattress and sometimes kids just slept on the floor. Residents scoured Hintonburg and Wellington Village for anything they could use to improve their home. Flooding occurred each spring ,and fires – always a threat –could incinerate a house in seconds. At its peak in 1952, “Le Port” as it was nicknamed, had 27 families and well over 100 residents, mostly children. An Ottawa Citizen reporter noted it was “like a visit to another world. A rather unpleasant sort of world” he wrote. “More than a score of tar paper shanties, some of them pretentious and some of them only bits and pieces of cardboard boxes are constructed in this area.” Many were built by the river, others in thickets amongst the shrubs to be hidden from view. Sympathetic neighbours in Mechanicsville, some who were barely above poverty themselves, delivered

Shantytown

By the mid-1950s, the Parkway was coming, and the FDC removed the villagers, noting on one eviction notice that “the shack spoils the view from the Champlain Bridge.” Rental housing and social services had improved enough to ease the transition, though for a family like Mathias Bourguignon’s – who lived in a shack for 15 years and saw the birth of four of his eleven children here – it certainly would have been a difficult adjustment. Living year round in Le Port was about as difficult an existence as one could imagine. Yet, in most of the photos that survive, the residents still appear smiling and happy. “I guess they were happy,” noted descendant Carole Fex-Webster. “They had never really known any different. I think they were good people and very religious.” A true triumph of the spirit in a harsh era that so many years later is almost incomprehensible.

For more photos, see the web version of this story at Kitchissippi.com. Dave Allston is a local historian and the author of The Kitchissippi Museum (kitchissippimuseum.blogspot.ca). Do you have early memories or photos to share? Send your email to stories@kitchissippi.com.

Despite the exhaustion we are exhilarated, and the compliments we get from customers every day makes all the effort feel so worthwhile,” adds Ghummaz. “We are already hatching plans for additional locations and like to describe ourselves as serial entrepreneurs in the making.”

Continued from page 13 These men joined the village for shelter and roamed Mechanicsville looking for food or money. Only one disastrous fire occurred during the lifespan of Le Port. In December 1952, a flash fire tore through a 10’x14’ one-room shack occupied by Fred and Annette Boyer. Their two-year old daughter Linda didn’t make it out alive. Over the years, authorities attempted unsuccessfully to have the squatters removed. There simply was nowhere else for them to go. By 1951, the FDC (now NCC) began charging families $10/month to live on the land but residents banded together and refused to pay. The shanties remained in place through the early construction of the government buildings.

3 young activists making a difference in the world (NC) The United Nations International Youth Day is a celebration of the contributions of young people toward social justice, peace and sustainability. Held on August 12, it is a day to recognize the leading role that youth play in society. In honour of this day, check out three prominent youth activists who stand out as role models around the world. Malala Yousafzai. She demonstrated courage and conviction when publicly opposing the Taliban in Pakistan, which eventually lead to a failed assassination attempt on her life at age 15. However, this incident only served to further motivate the

young activist who gained international attention for her continued support of girls’ rights to education. She has now become the world’s youngest Nobel Prize winner, has received Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award, and is an honorary Canadian citizen. Now a freshman at Cambridge University, she continues to balance her studies with activism as a strong international voice for education and children’s rights. Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. This Indigenous environmentalist and amateur rapper gained prominence for spearheading a lawsuit against the

American federal government over failing to act on climate change. He has given a TED talk on environmentalism, presented in front of the United Nations, and appeared on shows like Real Time with Bill Maher as well as magazines such as Teen Vogue. Through his activism, Martinez has become a leading youth voice for environmental causes. Parkland shooting survivors. In the wake of the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 people were tragically killed, a group of students emerged as leaders in the American gun reform debate. They played leadership

roles organizing the “March for Our Lives” demonstrations, which drew crowds of up to two million people across the country. While the teenagers have succeeded in forcing some amendments to gun laws in Florida, their battle continues on the national stage where they must still advocate for safer gun laws. Young people can draw inspiration from these young leaders, recognizing that you don’t have to be an adult to achieve meaningful change in your community.

are essential qualities for a wellrounded individual. Fortunately, there are simple ways you can teach them to be grateful and give back, like by contributing to a charity. A great organization that kids can relate to is Save the Children. In Canada,

the charity believes all Indigenous children have the right to develop their full potential as valued and engaged citizens within their Nations and Canada. Learn more or make a donation at www.savethechildren.ca. www.newscanada.com

4 helpful guidelines for raising healthy children (NC) We all want our kids to grow up to be happy and well-adjusted. Achieving this is a lifelong process that starts when they’re little. To help put your children on the path to success, follow these key tips.

1. Encourage good habits.

Whether they are two, 12 or 20, you can help them make good decisions to nurture their bodies and minds. Eating lots of fruit and veggies, maintaining a consistent bedtime and ensuring time for rest and relaxation are essential for people of all ages. Regular exercise and unstructured play for younger ones is also important.

2. Expect effort, not perfection.

Some of us can easily become focused on results, without considering

the time and energy that goes into a goal like making the soccer team or getting straight A’s. But this can put undue pressure on anyone, so make sure you have realistic expectations that involve trying their best, not being the best.

3. Set the example.

As a parent, you are the most significant role model for your child. This means whatever you do, they are likely to follow or at least file away as acceptable and appropriate behaviour. So, don’t be too hard on yourself, practice the good habits you want them to keep and model healthy relationships with friends and family.

4. Teach them to give back.

Compassion, empathy and gratitude

WESTBORO VILLAGER WESTBORO IS THE PLACE TO BE IN AUGUST This summer has been a beautiful, hot one so far. It does help that there are places to cool the palette here in the area (Pietro’s gelato is very close to the office!). Being fairly new in this position, summer has me delving deep into festival mode with the planning and booking of our annual FUSE STREET FESTIVAL. Every year, Westboro Village hosts a block party showcasing Westboro’s— nay, Ottawa’s—finest in entertainment.

THANK YOU! We know that the 2018 FUSE Street Festival, organized by Event Manager Jake Naylor of WhiskeyJack Media, is going to entertain people of all ages, all day, and into the night! Jake has worked tirelessly to book amazing local Ottawa acts for families and adults alike; such as Junkyard Symphony,

A new school year means new shoes. Ask the experts at Kiddie Kobbler to check size and fit.

WESTBORO VILLAGE • August 2018 • 20

Kids and teens can find their style at Boomerang Kids.

THINKING AHEAD TO BACK-TO-SCHOOL It’s hard to wrap our heads around the idea of going back to school, especially with the glorious summer weather, but it’s coming! To help you alleviate some stress and get ahead of the game we thought we’d share a few destinations to keep in mind the next time you’re in Westboro Village.

Consignment shopping means brand names at a fraction of the retail price, so it’s worth dropping by Boomerang Kids (255 Richmond Road). Owner Janet Anastasova estimates that 80% of Boomerang’s consignment clothing comes from the local community. “All of our customers care about quality and are savvy shoppers,” she says. There’s a great selection of clothing and shoes for school-aged kids and older teens will find something here as well. Lunch boxes, backpacks, fun school

supplies, as well as locally made and designed products also fill the shelves. All-season outerwear and top brands are the focus at West End Kids (373 Richmond Rd.) Vibrant colours and eyecatching colour combinations are the big trend this coming fall/winter season. Think about the splash they’ll make with a bright turquoise jacket and pink rain pants! Brands known for their durability like Columbia, Helly Hanson, Jupa, Bogs, and Spyder are top sellers here. Shop early for the best selection! Of course, back-to-school preparation usually includes footwear: rain boots, running shoes, and (gasp) even coldweather options. Don’t forget that many schools require children bring indoor running shoes to school. Ideally, indoor shoes should be a lightweight gym shoe with good support and a non-marking sole, in other words, no Crocs, slippers, or open-toe sandals. Kids grow so fast that it’s a good idea to have their feet

measured professionally. “You cannot imagine how many kids are coming to the store in the shoes that are two or three sizes smaller than they should be,” says Kiddie Kobbler (395 Richmond Rd.) owner, Elena Kishinevsky. Ask the experts at about shoe fit! A great pair of running shoes prevents injuries and aids healthy foot development. Of course, there’s more to back-toschool shopping than clothing and school supplies. It’s also nice to start the school year with a trim or a fresh new look! Beat the rush and make an appointment now at Richmond Hair Salon (277 Richmond Rd.) for the week or two before the first day of school. Got a nervous new student who’s just starting kindergarten? How about father and son haircuts at Westboro Barbers? Combine it with a dinner at The Works and you’ve got yourself the makings of a great family outing, and who knows? Maybe it’s the start of a new backto-school tradition as well.

and tranquility each Saturday morning with your neighbours and perhaps some friends you haven’t met yet. As a Yoga Teacher and organizer for the line up of teachers for this year’s Yoga in the Park series, I can confidently say, based on the popularity of last year’s successes, that if our first weekend’s turnout is any indication of how the season will unfold, we can expect to have well over 100 participants each Saturday for the remaining 7 weeks.

EAT WELL and

ENJOY

This series of FREE yoga classes is being offered every Saturday in July and August, come rain or shine, from 9:45 am to 10:45 am.

Bernard Prevost who attended the first class of our 2018 series, commented, “It was a beautiful practice with a great crowd. Wonderful easy breezy weather teacher attitude with a yoga practice for the Radiant body. What a great way to start the weekend. Then off to the stands for fresh vegetables. Marvelous community and spirit!”

August, 2018 The classes are definitely growing in size and popularity, and the outdoor sessions are unique in their atmosphere, which is highlighted by the Parkdale Market being just a few feet away. Overall, Yoga in the Park has been a hit with area residents. Yoga in the Park will be conducted every Saturday through August 25, 2018. The classes are open to all levels and are FREE.

Lots of Young Birds and the End of Frog Breeding Season

The Pileated woodpecker is a favourite for many folks because of its large size and its resemblance to the possibly extinct Ivorybilled Woodpecker of “Woody Woodpecker” fame. Pileated woodpeckers can be found in back yards and wooded areas all across Ottawa. Photo by Larry Master

by Robert Alvo, Conservation Biologist Last time I continued telling you about frogs and birds and how they would be doing in July. You probably noticed many young birds then. In Ottawa, the most common birds are The Big Three Introduced Species: Rock Pigeons, European Starlings, and House Sparrows. They were introduced from the Old World decades ago and successfully muscled their way into our cities. Rock Pigeons are pests, pooping and nesting on balconies. European Starlings kick native birds out of their nest holes, while House Sparrows build messy nests on buildings yet provide nice music. Common native birds in the city include Song Sparrows, on which Ph.D. thesis have been written on their complex songs. Mourning Doves are smaller and more streamlined than Rock Pigeons and are hunted out in the country. Those large white birds flying over us and picking up food at fast-food joints

are gulls, mostly Ring-billed Gulls. They nest colonially on rocky islets in the Ottawa River between our Twin Cities. In autumn, they are joined by several other gull species and are best seen on that river and on the two main nearby rivers flowing into it, the Rideau and Gatineau Rivers. In winter, though, when food is scarce in the small portions that remain ice-free, gulls hang out at our stinky garbage dumps where they stay alive feeding on humans’ “Fresh Garbage”, a popular 1960s rock song by the band “Spirit” based on the garbage that “you didn’t quite consume”. Back to birds, Northern Cardinals sing all year. White-breasted and Redbreasted Nuthatches are better known as “ass-up” birds. Downy, Hairy, and the huge Pileated Woodpeckers drill holes to forage and nest. Black-capped Chickadees, American Goldfinches, Blue Jays (feeder bullies), and the wise American Crows and Common Ravens are also here all year round, as are Mallard ducks. Let’s not forget the American Robin, which loves lawns. The late-breeding frogs have finished singing. These are the Green Frog, Bullfrog, and one I failed to mention last time — the Mink Frog. Their eggs have hatched and the tadpoles are not in a big rush to develop because they can overwinter for 1-3 years before transforming into froglets, unlike the early-breeding species that are in a big

rush to transform before their shallow ponds dry up. Nevertheless the latebreeders would do well to grow quickly to avoid being eaten by fish, which the early-breeders don’t need to worry about. Remember the discussion of “strategies” last time?

“When various gull species meet in winter at one of our Twin Cities’ dumps, a favourite song they sing to brave the cold is ‘Fresh Garbage’ by Spirit.” Next time we’ll talk about the birds of September and what I think may have been a cause of our infamous sink-holes on Rideau St. Hint: You can find the answer on at least one informative plaque in the nearby Byward Market. —Robert Alvo is a Conservation Biologist and Author of Being a Bird in North America, an image-intensive hardcover book available nationally at Chapters and a number of other stores in Ottawa: www.babina.ca

The Perseid Meteor Shower Nature’s Fireworks by Mark Narwa Every year during the summer we are treated to a show of nature’s fireworks. On the night of August 12 into the morning of August 13th, feast your eyes upon the sky to enjoy the Perseid meteor shower. This year is a great year to view them because the shower occurs two days after the New Moon, which means they will not be “washed out” by moonlight. No experience or optical aids are

required to view a meteor shower. A dark sky with an unobstructed view is all that is needed for best viewing. A slightly light-polluted sky will still allow you to see the bright ones. The Perseid meteor shower gets it name from the constellation Perseus which is located in the northeastern sky. All the meteors will appear to come from this one common point in the sky, called the radiant of the shower. Continued on page 4

Rosemount Library Users deserve better by Blaine Marchand, R.E.A.D. The months ahead are critical ones for the future of the Rosemount library. The Ottawa Public Library (OPL) has indicated that, prior to Rosemount’s renovation, a public consultation with Kitchissippi residents will take place in September 2018 (dates to be confirmed). As readers of Newswest know, the OPL will spend $2 million to “renew” the one-hundred-year-old branch. During

Letters to Newswest by Alma Cowan ~May 16, 2018 Once again [Newswest] has printed a report from R.E.A.D. about the short comings of Rosemount library. There is really nothing new in this report from previous submissions from R.E.A.D.other than to say that the library is getting a $2 million renovation which is ‘merely a Band-Aid solution’. I have used Rosemount since 1990 and have always found it a welcoming space. Over the years much has changed from computers to self check out and after hours drop boxes. I am at the

library most weeks and have never found it over-crowded with no where to sit not even on Saturdays or in the evenings. The library board plans to replace the main branch sometime in the future at a cost of $168 million on land already owned by the City of Ottawa, just a short trip from Rosemount. A replacement library in one of the many high rise buildings going up in Kitchissippi would be a nightmare. I can not think of anywhere else close to Rosemount that would provide enough space that R.E.A.D. thinks is necessary. Land in the area is very expensive and park space is not readily available in close proximity to the current building. Why not wait and see what $2 million can achieve and be pleasantly surprised?

The Other Side of the Story

@NewswestOttawa

by Dawn Neilly, OPS Property theft. Break and enters. Theft from vehicles. Summer in the city. That would be this summer and the city is Ottawa. Law-abiding citizens are not the only ones out and about taking advantage of the fine weather. While you’re pushing the baby in her carriage, warming a bench with a good book in hand, keeping a coffee business thriving, or on your way to work or yoga, someone else is stealing a bicycle from your porch, cleaning the jewelry out of your bureau drawer or taking the GPS out of your car. Summer should be a time for relaxing and recharging your batteries, not making a police report or filling out an insurance claim. What describes the would-be thief? Desperate, determined, opportunistic, inventive. Anything that isn’t locked up or out of sight is fair game to someone who plays by different rules. You forgot to put your ladder away?

Excellent access to an upper storey open window. Have you considered having a home security inspection done? In less than an hour you can learn a few good tips that will make your home less attractive to someone who wants to break in. Give me a call at 613-236-1222 ext. 5871 to set that up. Our vehicles often seem to function like a home away from home. It’s so easy to leave stuff in the car rather than cart it in and out, in and out. If that’s your habit, then you may be a prime target for the would-be thief looking for anything with some kind of resale value, CD’s, GPS’s for example. Best practice? Everything out of sight or completely removed and your vehicle locked up. In case that’s not enough, you can get an “All Valuables Removed” card to place in your car window. Stop in at 1064 Wellington (Hintonburg Community Centre) for one or print your own from the Ottawa Police web site (ottawapolice.ca). If you see any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood you can report it online at www.ottawapolice.ca. You might be on vacation but the would-be thief is not. Protecting your property is a year-round activity. Have a crime-free summer!

neither an efficient use of taxpayers’ money, nor will it meet the future social and cultural needs of our rapidly expanding community. The current City of Ottawa administration is unwilling to adequately fund infrastructure in the urban core despite its advocacy for intensification. The Rosemount renovation decision is a prime example of the short-sightedness of city officials. READ believes strongly that Ottawa Library Board staff might like to do better but cannot do so. Before consultations take place, READ encourages Rosemount Library users to consider several issues. What services do they most desire? What is the best use of the space to assure these are provided? Given the limited space, should there be more hours per week to spread services out and meet increased demands? Can some services be provided through partnerships and synergies with other service-providers and locations, such as the Innovation Centre or the Hintonburg Community Centre? Raising these important issues will ensure Rosemount library users receive the services they deserve.

Summertime Safety Tips

this renovation, the branch will be closed for approximately one year. A “depot” library situated in a store front on Wellington Street will serve our community. The “Renovation” will not provide much needed additional space. The branch size will remain 6089 square feet. The Rosemount Expansion and Development (READ) group has nothing but praise for the work done by our

librarians in the local branch. They work in constrained circumstances. But with the population of Kitchissippi swelling to 44,262 at the end of 2017 and continuing to increase over the upcoming years due to intensification and natural growth, meeting the needs of the community in such a small space becomes an issue. Rosemount Library will continue to be 66 percent smaller than branches in other comparable neighbourhoods. As a result, it cannot provide the programs or the amenities that are available in other branches. Elmvale Acres is a comparably sized branch at 7,493 square feet, but in that space there is seating for 40 users and a meeting room which can hold 59 people. Meeting rooms are a staple at most OPL branches, but Rosemount has no meeting room for its community. A fully functional and accessible program room is a must-have and the renovation must provide for one. A modern library must provide sufficient space and services to adequately respond to the community, not just for the present generations but the future ones. In READ’s view, the $2 million allocated for Rosemount is

Hot slides and cool basements by Anna Borris Once the novelty of summer vacation faded, the weather had the boiling humidity of a rain forest and the light was a constant sharp glare. The soft green landscape of spring had baked into golden dryness and the lawns were looking like shredded wheat biscuits before they went over Niagara Falls. Our moms were all the same. As soon as they noticed a few kids gathering in the house, they would yell, “Get out and play, it’s a nice sunny day.” They wanted us out of their hair so they could get on with their day, making jam and pickles in the steamy kitchen, and starting dinner. We were happy to oblige, and made sure we were out of sight in case our mothers thought to make us weed the garden or cut the grass. A favourite pastime was to sit on our flat garage roof with the hose pointed up to the sky. When someone walked by we gave them a little

sprinkle. They would look up, mystified, then figure out where it came from and bark at us. That quickly turned into a water fight with everyone battling for control of the hose. Then the next obvious thing to do was to put on our bathing suits and run screaming through the sprinkler, giving the parched lawn a much-needed drink. In a couple of hours we were starving. If we happened to be at my house, my mom would bring a tray of sandwiches, (a choice of peanut butter or bologna) and a pitcher of lemonade or Freshie out to the backyard. We loved having a picnic, never realizing every mom’s secret motive was to keep the kids out of the house. Another favourite lunch event was to wrap the sandwiches up and bring a thermos of cold lemonade to the park, climb a tree and have lunch sitting on the branches. We loved the old high wooden slide with the stairs worn from

thousands of feet climbing to the top. Of course the first person to slide down forgot how hot the metal could be in the sun. After they let out a screech of pain, the rest of us slid down on our backs with our shirts to protect us. After a turn on the swings, sailing as high as they would go, we collapsed under the trees to observe the clouds and cool off before heading home. The neighbourhood pool was only two or three feet deep and usually filled with spashing, fighting little kids, so for five cents the Plant Bath was a better option if we felt like taking the bus down Somerset Street. The library was always a cool attraction. Some days we would bike over and spend an hour browsing

through the stacks and picking out a few books to bring home for a rainy day. Judy’s mom usually didn’t mind us playing records in their basement. We loved Connie Francis and Lesley Gore, but the boys said they were too “sappy” so they brought over a few reocrds of their own. They liked the old Johnny Horton songs like “North to Alaska” and “The Battle of New Orleans”, and almost anything by Johnny Cash was also a favourite. We played them all with no objection; the basement was cool and it was another fun way to spend a hot afternoon indoors but still just out of the reach of a scolding mom or an outside job assignment.

The Perseid Meteor Shower (cont’d) Continued from page 2 The best views occur at dawn on the 13th when the radiant is highest in the sky. Under a dark sky you can expect to see between 80 to 110 meteors per hour. Usually, the Perseid meteors tend to appear white or bluish white. They will be traveling at speeds of up to 200,000 km/h, producing many bright meteors that leave luminous trails visible for several seconds. The Perseid meteor shower is associated with the comet 109P/ Swift-Tuttle, which was discovered by American astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle in July 1862. Each year when the Earth crosses Swift-Tuttle’s orbit, tiny particles of dust and rock left behind by the comet enter the Earth’s atmosphere,

creating the streaks of light that cause the Perseid meteor shower. When these particles of dust and rock are floating in space they are called meteoroids, but when they burn up in the atmosphere they become meteors. If they should survive the burn up and land on the Earth’s surface they are called meteorites. The best way to watch the meteor shower is to lie back using a sleeping bag or a reclining lawn chair and watch the open sky. It does not matter which direction you face because the meteors will streak across the entire sky. Dressing appropriately and having an extra blanket is a good idea because it tends to get chilly, especially when you are staying idle and the dew falls. It is also good to have some insect repellent.
