With the whir of chainsaws and the grind of a wood shredder, another tall tree disappears. The extensive loss of mature trees across the ward is worrying many residents.

“It’s pretty alarming to suddenly see these big gaps in our forest canopy and parks,” says Daniel Buckles, a Champlain Park area

resident and active tree conserva-tionist. “It’s surprising and shock-ing to see these trees gone.”

“One of the characteristics that makes Kitchissippi so attractive is the mature tree canopy,” says Deb Chapman, a Clare Gardens area resident. “To walk under the cano-py of a mature tree is just spectacu-lar.”

But there are far fewer mature

trees in Kitchissippi now compared to recent years. The City of Ottawa has removed 450 ash trees in this ward alone. Across the city, over 15,000 dead or dying ash trees have been removed. Another 60,000 ash trees will likely be cut down in the coming years. Additionally, the National Capital Commission is cutting down over 12,000 ash trees

“The Liberal Party has a new generation of leaders committed to listening to Canadians in order to build better communities and a stronger country. I want to be part of that change, to combat political cynicism and create a better future for our children.”

She went on to be the Executive Director of the Banff Forum, a non-profit organization that tackles public policy challenges facing Canada.

Catherine has served as co-Vice President of the Glebe Community Association and is a former board member of the Elizabeth Fry Society. She is currently on the board of the Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies and teaches at the Munk School of Global Affairs.

Her decision to run for parliament stems from her belief that Canada needs a new government and a strong, fresh voice for Ottawa Centre.

Catherine believes we need to grow our economy and create new jobs - particularly for youth who are struggling in this economy. She believes in a public service that is respected and valued. She is committed to a building a more livable and sustainable city with better public transit, more affordable housing, and a healthy environment - including a clean river and better paths for cycling and walking.

Catherine McKenna was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1971 to a Quebec-born mother and an Irish father. She credits competitive swimming as a defining characteristic of her youth, when she was compelled to develop self-discipline, endurance and time management.

After a Masters degree in International Relations at the London School of Economics, she took her law degree at McGill. This lead to legal work with the United Nations mission in East Timor.

Catherine and her husband moved to Ottawa Centre in 2002 where their three children, Madeleine, Isabelle and Cormac were born. She practiced competition and trade law at Stikeman Elliott, and was the senior advisor to former Chief Justice Antonio Lamer during his review of Canada’s military justice system.

In 2004, Catherine co-founded Canadian Lawyers Abroad (CLA), a charity that uses law to support good governance, rule of law and human rights work in Canada and abroad. CLA partners with Aboriginal communities to empower students and their families.

on their properties. “Between 25 and 30

per cent of Ottawa trees were ash trees,” says Buckles. “That made our forest vulnerable.”

The Emerald Ash Borer is a wood-boring beetle that feeds under the bark of ash trees. An ash tree can lose half its branches in a year due to these invasive insects, and the entire tree usually dies within three years of being infected. The City has treated some ash trees with injections of insecti-cide that has been proven effective in controlling Emerald Ash Borer. However, the majority of ash trees in the city have been cut down.

Buckles hopes that as the City replaces the lost ash trees, they will do so with a diversity of locally-sourced and sustainable trees.

In fact, the City of Ottawa has been replac-ing ash trees with trees that vary in species, height and life span. For exam-ple, they are planting fruit and nut trees like crab apple, serviceberry, hack-berry, hazelnut, and black walnut, as well as ging-

koes, honey locusts, chan-ticleer pears and various types of maples trees.

“We love what City Forestry is doing,” says Jay Garlough, a volunteer with Hidden Harvest, a non-profit organization that harvests fruit and

nuts to distribute to places like the Parkdale Food Centre.

He is particularly excit-ed about the Turkish hazelnut trees, describing them as “beautiful big trees that deliver delicious food – more than enough to share with the squir-rels.” Though they are not native to Ottawa, they do well in this climate and in urban environments. Garlough notes that since many ash trees were grow-ing near roadways, their

replacements need to be tolerant of exhaust and salt.

People may wonder why the city is not choos-ing apple or pear trees to replace the ash. Garlough explains that fruit trees are quite small in com-parison to the ash. They cannot provide the same environmental benefits that large trees can – such as shade, and storm water and pollution absorption

Councillor Jeff Leiper is impressed with how the City Forestry department has been replacing lost trees. He notes that while they have cut down 450 trees in Kitchissippi, they have already planted 570 here.

“They are very cogni-zant [about using] local, native species and locally grown seeds,” he says. “But they are also think-ing about climate change and are sourcing seeds with a more southern ori-gin as well.”

Still, it will take years for the newly planted trees to offer the green canopy and environmental bene-fits of the lost mature trees. And as many Kitchissippi residents know, the Emerald Ash Borer is not the only threat to local mature

trees. “So many trees are

being taken down by developers,” says Jean McKibbon, a Westboro Community Association representative on a city-wide committee that is working to protect the urban green canopy.

Development projects in Kitchissippi and other urban wards have taken a toll on hundreds of mature trees. Even when trees are left standing, the roots are often badly damaged and are covered with stone dust, sand and gravel, leaving little hope that the tree will survive.

Deb Chapman urges all concerned residents to be involved in protecting local trees, such as by alerting the City of trees that are being threatened by development projects. “If people really want Kitchissippi to stay the glorious mature tree-filled neighbourhood that we enjoy now, more residents need to get involved.”

“Let’s not repeat old mistakes,” adds Buckles. “Let’s ensure real diversi-ty.”

A Spring Sprint By Kayla Rain

The morning of June 7 dawned hot and cloudy; over one hundred and twenty Elmdale school kids were lined up at Andrew Haydon Park, shirts already sticking to their backs, awaiting the commencement of the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s Spring Sprint.

It’s a cause near and dear to the students’ hearts – because among them is Jakob Bouse, a grade six student at Elmdale Public School. Six months ago, Jakob began to suffer from tremors and headaches, which led to an MRI at CHEO – it revealed a brain tumour, a low-grade astrocytoma. The cerebral spinal fluid was pooling in his brain, causing a condition known as hydrocepahlus; it was an issue that had to be dealt with immediately.

But there was good news on the horizon – the results revealed a non-malignant, slow-growing tumour. While surgery was an option, it was too risky for the grade six to undergo; seventy weeks of chemotherapy was the prescribed treatment.

“With the diagnosis the world gets really small – you don’t know how to

process it, and the information comes in slowly. But over time more people come in and say, ‘my cousin had this’, or ‘my uncle went through this’, and you get to meet people that have been in similar situations. And then the whole support network comes in,” says Bouse.

“The compassion and love everyone has – the friends and families and neighbours – was really overwhelming and special to see,” says Bouse. “All the prayers and support

really does make a big difference.”

The Ottawa Spring Sprint raised over $82,000 for brain tumour research and patient programs. Although the Sprint Day has passed, donations are still welcome. Donate online at springsprint.ca/s i t e / T R ? f r _id=1213&pg=entry.

‘Pop-up’ chats a beneficial way to connect The Councillor is inBy Craig Lord

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper has been making good on a campaign promise to be more accessible to residents. Enter, the pop-up office. It could be a coffee shop, community centre, or park bench – and it gives residents some one-on-one time without having to fight traffic and parking at City Hall.

On June 11, the Kitchissippi Times had the opportunity to audit the inner workings of Leiper’s pop-up office at the Churchill Senior’s Centre.

“I much prefer it to an email,” says Leiper. “People want to talk face-to-face with their Councillor. They’ve got something on their mind, and they wouldn’t voice it otherwise.”

Leiper says he usually speaks to about five or six residents over the three hours allotted to each pop-up. If a resident arrives when he’s already in a discussion, either a line-up will form or the new arrival will jump into the conversation, sometimes forming a spontaneous roundtable of residents.

“They’ve been perfect,” he says, noting that other Councillors have been interested in implementing their own versions of in-ward offices.

On June 11, only one resident took advantage of the scheduled pop-up. It was Anne White, looking to chat about trees.

Despite the low turnout of that pop-up, Leiper says it’s never a waste of time. He anticipates that attendance may drop during the summertime, but says that establishing the consistent basis of pop-ups is imperative.

It wasn’t disappointing to White, either, who took the opportunity to chat with Leiper for over an hour and a half. For White, who lives without a computer or email address, the ability to have a face-to-face chat is invaluable. She mentioned at one point that she doesn’t think she ever spoke to former Coun. Katherine Hobbs during her time in office.

“It’s like being invisible in so many ways. And I know I’m not the only one,” says White. Leiper echoed that importance, noting that socio-economic issues can prevent residents from communicating with the city.

“Thumbs up for the pop-up!” cheered White as she left.

The best ways to find out the next pop-up is through the Kitchissippi ward email newsletter, Leiper’s social media channels, or by calling his office at 613-580-2485.

Poetry festival and book fair a “resounding success”Prose in the ParkWe asked local poet Pearl Pirie to cover the inaugural Prose in the Park event that took place in Parkdale Park on June 6. See extra photos of some of the people she met on the web version of this story at kitchissippi.com.

Story and photo by Pearl Pirie

The inaugural Prose in the Park event was a resounding success; a fill-your-brain extravaganza with lively discussions, and plenty of excitement from writers and partici-pants alike.

“It’s been a really beautiful day. Tremendous fun from the beginning to the end,” said local fantasy author Amal El-Mohtar. “I’ve been delighted to meet writers in the Ottawa scene, local people doing tremendous things like Jay Odjick.” (Odjick recasts Anishinabe legends in superhero context in graphic novels.)

There were all kinds of new authors and discoveries to be made.Did you know Ottawa has a flash-fiction magazine? It’s called Saturday Night reader, and it can be found in print and online at saturdaynightreader.com. A portion of subscription sales goes to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

The event featured over 100 authors and 11 panels. Many genres and publishers were represented, including self-published authors to Giller Prize winner, Vincent Lam, local publishers, big presses, and bookstores.

It was a new experience for

many, including Ottawa short fiction writer Craig Calhoun.

“I had a great time. It was my first time doing a panel like this and it went a lot better than I expected,” said Calhoun. “It was really great to see indepen-dent publishers repre-sented.”

Councillor Jeff Leiper was also in attendance.

“They started talk-ing to me months ago about doing this and it’s come together really quickly,” said Leiper. “The organizers have been laser focused on all the details. Take a look around… Not every event has thought things through the way they have.”

It was a steady, happy crowd and the outdoor space worked very well; conducive to the panels as well as networking and informal chatter. There was space enough for conver-sations that were breaking out all day.

The panels covered a variety of literary topics. Kevin T. Johns of Write Along Radio moderated a sci-fi panel with local writers, Alex Binkley, Hayden Trenholm, and Toronto’s Julie Czerneda. He also brought forward some thought pro-voking questions during a later fan-tasy panel. Both had energetic witty conversations and great rapport.

On the fantasy panel, veteran

novelist, Charles de Lint, and local Aurora winner, Marie Bilodeau, debated the role of violence and magic in the genre and what distin-guishes the genre. Julie Czerneda remarked that sci-fi has a long his-tory of inclusivity, with no distinc-tion between professional writers and fans. Readers are real people, not just “some guy to sell a book to” but to invite to write as well. It’s about participation and community, not static consumption.

I’ll leave the last word to Ottawa’s Brenda Gayle, romance novelist and author of Six Geese for Monica: “I think it’s a fantastic event…. It’s amazing.”

“I’ve sold three books, I’m happy,” said Martin Bueno, Kitchissippi resident and author of Rainbow Alchemist.

ALCATEL-LUCENT SUNDAY BIKEDAYSBicycles rule every Sunday between Victoria Day and Labour Day on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. Thanks to the NCC, and sponsor Alcatel-Lucent, nine kilometres of the westbound Parkway (from the Canadian War Museum to Carling Avenue) are closed to auto traffic from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to hit the road on your two-wheeler and enjoy some vigor-ous exercise amidst some great views of the Ottawa River.

Looking for a change of scenery? You can also enjoy car-free Sundays along Colonel By Drive, between the Laurier and Hog’s Back Bridges. For those looking to go even further afield (and tackle some challenging hills), Gatineau Park offers 27 kilometres of cycling space along the Gatineau, Champlain and Fortune Lake Parkways, which are closed to cars between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Volunteers are always needed for Sunday Bikedays. Positions include traffic intersection monitors to install and remove barricades and traffic cones, directing motorists to alternate routes and ensuring cyclists are safe at closed intersections. Also needed are bike patrollers, who provide first aid where needed and perform minor bike repairs.

For more information on volunteering, contact the NCC’s volunteer centre at 613-239-5373 or [email protected].

MAPLELAWN GARDENStep back into the 19th century with a visit to this national historic site located just outside Westboro Village.

The Maplelawn site was initially owned by William Thompson, who established it in 1831. It was subsequently owned by three other politi-cally and socially prominent families: the Thomsons, Coles and Rochesters. Maplelawn’s very well-preserved walled garden was a rare thing even in the 19th century and is even more so today. There is no charge to visit the garden, which offers approximately an acre of pleasing sights and aromas. Access to the space is free. Maplelawn is located at 529 Richmond Rd. at Broadview Avenue.

By Anna Borris When Rogue Lemming plays at one of Ottawa’s festivals, the audience is treated to a happy atmosphere of spontaneous fun. This musical duo has a wide repertoire of songs – familiar, new or downright silly.

John is the flamboyant one who wears colourful wildly-pat-terned shirts and hats, and engag-es everyone with cheerful chatter. Jack stands quietly at the side of the stage, sometimes drumming, sometimes playing guitar.

Often, an assortment of musi-cal instruments is scattered across the front of the stage, and kids are encouraged to pick one up and play along. In an instant the musi-cal pair are accompanied by a very enthusiastic group of junior musicians, playing all manner of percussion and various other in-struments. As often as not, some-one will find a favourite drum or tambourine, and stay on the stage playing along all afternoon.

John Lloyd and Jack Pyl have been making music together for over two years, entertaining adults as well as kids. They write their own original material individual-ly and together. Their style in-cludes reggae and bluegrass, as well as a wide variety of 60’s and 70’s music.

John and Jack both do vocals, and between them they play gui-tar, mandolin, pennywhistle, flute, bass, theramin and assorted per-cussion instruments. They teach themselves songs from favourite albums and particularly enjoy learning the more obscure album tracks that they remember from high school.

When they started playing to-gether, rehearsals were held at Jack’s house and they learned new material every week. They show-

cased their songs at various open-mike locations around the city, hoping for favourable feedback. As their repertoire increased and their fan base grew, so did their exposure to a variety of audiences. Currently, among many other things, they host a weekly open-mike event at the Black Pepper Bistro on Wellington St. They enjoy providing back-up mando-lin, drum, flute, guitar and vocals as needed by the performers.

Last year, in August, Jack and John participated in “Bhakti in the Woods”, a weekend yoga and music festival which takes place on a large country property in Ladysmith Quebec. There, they entertained with their music join-ing with many other artists, musi-cians, healers and yoga instruc-tors; they plan to participate in “Bhakti” again this year.

Rogue Lemming is involved in a variety of community festi-vals and programs. If you walk into the Hintonburg Community Centre any Friday at 10:30, you will hear music and laughter floating from one of the nearby rooms. Every week John shares his music with a group of special needs adults, who sometimes play the guitar or sing along. They are accompanied from time to time by Jack’s drumming or by other musical friends who drop by. The atmosphere is upbeat and posi-tive, and the music much appreci-ated.

Over the past two years, in Hintonburg, as well as in some of the downtown clubs, Rogue Lemming has established a repu-tation as a strong, talented musi-cal duo.

You can find more of Rogue Lemming on YouTube. To con-tact them, call or text John Lloyd at (613) 898-2952

I read “Westboro Musician’s Message for Pianists; Stay tuned” in the May 14th Newswest. The ar-ticle did not have the contact information for Tim Dudley. Was this an omission? I had him tune my piano once and he did a fantastic job. I would like to contact him again. I would also like him to re-ceive the recognition he deserves. If it was an omission, is there a possibility for you to add his contact information in a future Newswest edi-tion?

Thank you for your attention,

Claire

Tim Dudley can be reached at [email protected]. We regret the oversight ~Ed.

RichcraftLorrie’s letter to Richcraft covered all the points I was thinking every time I walk by that corner. It was a cute couple of buildings with neighbours living there. Now it’s a derelict property.

Next time the city or the OMB is thinking of giving in to Richcraft, I hope they keep in mind what the neighbourhood is getting in return.

St Martin’s Welcomes New MinisterFrom Jerusalem to KitchissippiBy Sharron HannaOn Sunday May 17th, St Martin’s Anglican Church welcomed their new Rector, the Reverend Canon John Organ. John’s 28 years as an ordained minister includes five years as a parish priest in his home province of Newfoundland and twen-ty years as a military chaplain with the Canadian Armed Forces.

John comes to St Martin’s on the heels of his most recent assign-ment as Chaplain to Archbishop Suheil Dawani of the Diocese of Jerusalem. That Diocese spans Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. It ministers to 7,000 Anglicans with 35 service institutions, 29 parishes, 1500 employees, 200 hospital beds and 6,000 students.

John’s time in Jerusalem is of utmost in-terest for those seeking to understand why a city that is holy to Jews, Christians

and Moslems is also the centre of the bloodiest few acres on earth. John and his wife Irene have liter-ally been on the ground experiencing the daily lives of Palestinian Arabs facing constant upheaval, and witnessing events un-folding in the Middle East with ISIS insurgency a news media staple.

But don’t expect to get sound bite observations from John. He is prepared to say that the west has a lot to answer for including a betrayal of the Arab movement for unification at the end of the first World War -- a betrayal that soured the Arab world to the west.

As John puts it, “We have made blunder after blunder historically through to current times.” As a framework for grasp-ing how the west has man-aged to misconstrue Middle East culture, John points to Edward Said’s 1978 ground breaking cr i t ical s tudy “Orientalism” as required

reading. Now back in Canada,

he considers himself a citizen of Ottawa, of Canada and of the world, proudly serving his coun-try and his faith.

For John the practical aspects of Canadian soci-ety with its Charter of Rights and Freedom, its universal health care and such measures as mini-mum wage, are testament to the country using reli-gion to bless the state without imposing religion on the state. By his own admission, John likes to “keep one foot in the tem-ple and one in the public square”. One has the dis-tinct impression that his spiritual leadership at St Martin’s will be practical, progressive, innovative and far-reaching.

The monu-ment has attracted ever greater controversy, evok-ing strong and remarkably united criticism from a broad array of commenta-tors, including architec-tural associations, the Canadian Bar Association, the Mayor of Ottawa, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Perhaps most astonishingly, nearly two-thirds of Conservative supporters nationwide op-pose the plan.

Yet the Conservative government perseveres, obstinately rejecting any reasoned debate or com-promise. Ironically, the Conservatives appear willing to ignore demo-cratic voices in order to

build a monument hon-ouring those who fought for democratic rights.

The memorial, for its part, was originally pro-posed and approved for a site on the other side of Wellington Street. It’s worth noting that all other memorials in Ottawa have followed the rules govern-ing construction in the downtown core. The Conservatives preferred to simply ignore the rules rather than follow or even change them.

Ottawa residents were not consulted on the loca-tion, size, or design of the memorial. An astonishing 82% of residents oppose the memorial in its current form. And the Ottawa City Council recently voted by a clear 75% ma-

jority, 18-6, to request that the federal government relocate the monument.

Yet when asked, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Minister of the NCC said that local opinion didn’t matter be-cause Conservatives “will build this monument.”

A memorial to remem-ber those silenced by tyr-anny and to honour those who fought for democrat-ic rights is a fine idea. But the best tribute to these brave women and men would be a strong com-mitment to the very dem-ocratic consultation they fought for.

The government should actually listen to the com-munity, and change the lo-cation of this monument.

Paul Dewar has been the Member of Parliament for Ottawa Centre since 2006.

Provincial ReportMaking Ontario’s Roads SaferBy Yasir Naqvi, MPP

On June 2, we passed the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act to help ensure that the province’s roads are among the safest in North America.

To protect cyclists and pedestrians, this new Act will, among other things:

• Requiredriverstowaituntilpedestri-ans have completely crossed the road before proceeding at school crossings and pedestrian crossovers, instead of yielding only half of the roadway;

• Allowfornewpedestriancrossingde-vices on low-speed and low-volume roads as requested by municipalities;

• Increasethefinerangeforconvictionsof ‘dooring’ of cyclists from $60 to $500, to $300 to $1,000 and raise the demerit points from two to three;

Under this new Act fines for distract-ed driving will increase to a range of $300 to $1,000; three demerit points will be assigned upon the conviction of a distracted driving offence; and distracted

driving convictions for novice drivers will now result in escalating sanctions. The new fines and measures will come into force over the coming months.

The Act reflects measures I intro-duced in a Private Member’s Bill in the fall of 2012 - Bill 131, the Enhancing Red Light Camera System Enforcement Act, 2012. Its measures are included within the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act.

On Saturday, May 30, 2015 I held my annual Sustainable Community Summit to discuss speed limits and road safety with four expert speakers.

You can find their presentations, as well as a questionnaire online at www.yasirnaqvimpp.ca. I encourage you to review the information, and share your ideas. We will be creating a report based on the feedback received, which will be shared with the Minister of Transportation.

Joe and Joan PintoCommunity activists recognized

By Carol PaschalAfter 25 years on Melrose Avenue, Joe and Joan Pinto de-cided to downsize and move to Westboro. When I found out they were selling their house, I approached the Board of Directors of the HCA and they readily agreed it was important to do something special for them.

The result was a community recognition event held on May 21st at the Hintonburg Community Centre (HCC). Neighbours and friends were invited to celebrate the Pinto’s volunteer work in our commu-nity and to recognize their con-tributions to Hintonburg.

The event was organized by a small committee including Cheryl Parrott and Paulette Dozois, myself and neighbour David Connolly. David talked it up among all of the neighbours on Melrose Avenue and the rest of us publicized it to various or-ganizations that we knew Joe and Joan were involved with. Wayne and Marilyn Rodney looked after decorations, and lots of people donated baking.

Joan was involved with the HCA in the early years and en-couraged Joe to become a Board member, which he was for many years. Joe was instrumental in beautifying the neighbourhood with plants and flowers, particu-larly in front of the HCC. He and Joan were the winners of the HCA’s annual membership drive three years in a row. Both

are also very active in the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Parish.

Joe was a driving force be-hind the beautiful blue spruce tree that acts as a gateway to the community in Somerset Square. With a grant from the Friends of the Environment Foundation at TD Canada Trust for its installa-tion, Joe found the perfect tree and with help from community members, arranged for the tree to be planted. Cheryl dug up an old poster from 1998 (pun in-tended) showing the installation with Joe, former Deputy Police Chief Alex Mackie and former Mayor Jacquelin Holzman pos-ing with shovels of dirt.

Neighbour Tom Henter was our most excellent emcee and invited people to say a few words about Joe and Joan. There was laughter and tears as people provided moving testi-monies about the positive im-pact this much appreciated cou-ple has had on our community. This included not only people who have lived in Hintonburg for many years but also newer neighbours who spoke about how Joe and Joan made them feel welcome on the street. Guests were also encouraged to write their comments in a “memories book” which was given to the couple at the end of the evening, along with a pot-ted plant.

Councillor Jeff Leiper also said a few words about his ex-perience with Joe and Joan dur-ing the time that he was on the

HCA’s Board of Directors. As he said, “Hintonburg’s loss is Westboro’s gain”. Then he pointed out that he was happy

to know that Joe and Joan still live in Kitchissippi Ward. And so are their friends and neigh-bours.

CBC Radio calls it “an iconic Ottawa pub...” and so it is. The Carleton Tavern has been a west end institution since 1935. Perhaps its greatest hallmark is this tavern’s sense of communi-ty.

Free Christmas dinners, sports teams, community group board meetings, local theatre presentations, golf tournaments, serving as a Block Parent, field trips, at least one set of wedding photos, the Carleton Tavern has played host to it all. And always with typical generosity and good will for the community. The Carleton is an iconic pub AND a good neighbour.

To show our appreciation of the Carleton’s support for its community, the staff at Newswest has assembled a few questions and facts relevant to the Carleton Tavern and its times. How many of these can you remember (or guess)?

Jesse the Bookworm is making his way across the provincePublishing collaboration results in positive outcomes for all

A unique book launch took place at the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa on June 4. Finding Home, The Adventures of Jesse the

Bookworm was developed for foster children, but there’s a twist. The children’s book was written and illustrated by Ottawa teens Kayla Rain (18) and Elizabeth Mayes (19), both former crown wards of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa.

Ms. Rain and Ms. Mayes brought Jesse’s story to life with the support of the Children’s Aid Society and local publisher, Great River Media. It was a unique partnership, with positive results.

Jesse the bookworm has a unique story of his own. It began with the Bookworm Club and an initiative spearheaded by Ottawa’s Children’s Aid Society Teens group (CAST). Following the model and initiative of Britain’s Letterbox Club, the Bookworm Club aims to increase literacy – and a sense of belonging – by sending packages of books to youth in care.

CAST was approached with a special project: to create a logo for the club. As a result, Jesse the bookworm was born. Ms. Rain and Ms. Mayes, both active members of CAST, were later engaged to write and illustrate Jesse’s story.

“Writing and publishing a book doesn’t just happen,” said Michael Justinich, Project Management Coordinator at the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa and member of Bookworm Club Provincial Steering Committee. “That’s where Mark

Sutcliffe and Great River Media came in. Through a little bit of networking we found ourselves a great community partner that was willing to work with our youth and get this book they created printed and published.”

Great River Media staff helped Ms. Rain and Ms. Mayes with the publishing process and get the book ready for print.

Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society in Ottawa, thanked the Great River Media team at the book launch.

“A number of caring people and organizations saw the potential and the talent of Kayla and Elizabeth and also invested in the book – resource-wise and financially. It’s a product that can make a difference,” said Ms. MacKinnon. “It’s a huge investment to make in people. This will make a difference to thousands of children in care across the province. “

Ultimately, the Bookworm project provided more than just work experience. It’s a leg up for the youth involved, who gain some real-life skills and the opportunity to build their professional networks.

“One of the goals was to give [Ms. Rain and Ms. Mayes] the opportunity to learn though this and be exposed to how a book gets published, and for this to be a learning opportunity for them,” said Mr. Sutcliffe. “I think I speak for everybody who was involved in this project at Great River Media

that we learned just as much from this. We’re so proud to have played a small role in making this happen.”

“It’s very unusual for child welfare agency to work outside of education and health, those

are the partners we work with traditionally, so this is very unique and outside the box,” said Mr. Justinich. “We’d love to do more of these types of projects – other experiential opportunities for kids – in different kinds of businesses.”

The Bookworm project was the result of a non-traditional partnership that garnered positive results, one with far-reaching effects for all involved.

“Working so closely with the youth was definitely outside of the box for us,” said Terry Tyo, Chief Marketing Officer at Great River Media. “We’ve published other books, but to have this kind of partnership was new and innovative,” said Mr. Tyo, who took on the role of project manager for the Bookworm Project.

“It re-energizes everyone. It’s exciting to mentor a young person, someone who is so passionate. I would suggest businesses try to get involved and work on these kinds of projects,” said Mr. Tyo. “It’s not just about running a business, but it’s about giving back to the community. We feel like we did something worthwhile that has a legacy, and told a story that is going to make a difference in people’s lives. That makes everyone feel good at our company.”

21,000 copies of the book will be distributed across Ontario in both English and French in the coming months. Digital copies will also be available.

OACS Plays for PFCOttawa Adult Chamber StringsBy Doreen HenleyOn June 15, 2015, The Ottawa Adult Chamber Strings (OACS), a newly formed group of amateur musicians - violinists, vio-lists and cellos, under the direction of Dr. Caren Abramoff, presented a concert of Baroque early music at McKay Street United Church in support of Parkdale Food Centre, a registered not-for-profit charity staffed by a team of energetic volunteers and supported by a net-work of community part-ners.

“It is always humbling when groups come to-gether and collectively choose to support the Parkdale Food Centre with their talents.” notes

Centre manager, Karen Secord. “Dr. Abramoff volunteers with a group who come once a month to cook for us. Clearly, she was instrumental in introducing our way of addressing food security, to the musicians in the OACS. And we are grate-ful for their efforts.”

Founded in 2014, the OACS musicians wanted to rehearse string music together in a sociable and supportive environment under the direction of a knowledgeable, passion-ate and avid Baroque music performer.

Dr. Caren Abramoff is the Director of OACS. Caren received her mas-ter’s degree at the University of Ottawa and

holds a doctorate in music at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has studied historical performance styles in Philadelphia, and at the Tafelmusik Summer Baroque Institute with Jeanne Lamon. Caren also studied with Larry Dutton from the Emerson Quartet. Dr. Abramoff is an avid Baroque music performer and currently performs with the Ottawa Symphony, and teaches private violin, viola and piano lessons.

The OACS Group re-hearses weekly and wel-comes other string players with similar goals of mak-ing music together, im-proving their musical skills and learning

Baroque and Classical Performance, and per-forming in the communi-ty. Performance venues have included Lord Lansdowne Retirement Residence, Parkdale United Church for its “In From The Cold” pro-gamme and an upcoming concert at The Ottawa Hospital in the Critical Care Wing.
