“Did you know there used to be four movie theatres on Wellington?” Andrew King, painter and historian, asks me when we meet for an inter-view the day before he launches his District 15 art show, an artistic comment on contemporary

Kitchissippi, or Ward 15. “The Holland Brothers – who

were friends with Thomas Edison – showed the first movie in Canada at the Fisher Park fairgrounds,” King continues. He shows me his sketch of what the park – with its outdoor amphitheatre, orchestra pit and for-est – at the end of the streetcar line

used to look like before the streetcar was extended to Britannia Park and a new fairground at Britannia put Fisher Park’s out of business.

This is a conversation that’s all the more poignant given that current discussions around proposed Western LRT routes are such a hot

Sutton’s show brings the CFL to the stage

Theatre kicks off with a tailgate partyStory and photos by Kathleen Wilker

Since 1993, Saskatchewan-born Colleen Sutton, who’s made Westboro her home, has been to 14 Grey Cups.

“I love the CFL so much I wrote about it,” says this d y e d - i n - t h e - w o o l Saskatchewan RoughRiders fan who is looking forward to making Ottawa her Eastern team. The Ottawa Theatre School graduate will be starring in the one-woman show, RiderGirl, from April 25-27 at Arts Court (ridergirl.com).

The curtain officially rises at 7:30 p.m., but the real show starts, true to

form, with a tailgate party at 6:30 p.m.. Sport a CFL jersey – even if it’s not in RoughRider green – and you’ll be intercepted with a five dollar discount on your ticket or a free beer at the party.

“The CFL is a great atmosphere for families, but this show isn’t for kids,” says Sutton. “I mean, who hasn’t been to a football game and let a few swears slip?”

“I love seeing these two worlds – arts and sports – come together,” says Sutton who believes that the best theatre speaks to everyone. Likening her show to a sports movie, with a hero

everyone can believe in, Sutton asks, “Who doesn’t love a good sports movie? It’s like a good game. We watch because we’re inspired and the stakes are high.”

Sutton says she wrote RiderGirl, which is based on her life as a RoughRiders fan up until 2009, “because the team and its fans have inspired me to live a life that meant something. They’ve taught me to get off the sidelines and into the end zone.”

Understanding the rules of football and the code of conduct for dedicated fans allowed Sutton the courage to throw the ultimate Hail Mary, to leave her government job and go back to school as an actor and a writer.

“One woman shows are exhilarating and exhausting,” Sutton says, noting that she’s getting a great cardio workout with every show. “You never get a break.”

Over Labour Day weekend, Sutton will bring her show to Regina where she looks forward to performing at the Labour Day Classic, the RoughRiders’ biggest football weekend of the season, when her team takes on its rivals, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Fibre Fling Fundraiser for Stephen Lewis FoundationKitchissippi United Church members hosted the second Out-of-the-Box Fibre Art exhibit and high tea on April 12 and 13 (out-of-the-box.org) to raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Spring snow couldn’t keep the crowds away from this amazing collection of fibre art-work ranging from machine and hand embroiderers, art quilters, weavers, fel-ters, doll makers, embellishers, silk paint-ers, appraisers, dyers as well as other

needle workers and mixed media. Over $4000 was raised for the Stephen Lewis Grandmother’s campaign from admission fees and the high tea on Saturday. The total sales of art work for the two days was $5,537.

Girls Hockey a positive experienceWork together, believe in your team, and always stay positive. This is the advice that the Ottawa Girls Hockey Association’s Midget A Ottawa Ice team followed. And this is the advice that helped them earn a bronze medal recent-ly in the Ontario Provincial Championships.

“We weren’t expected to win . . . then we beat a lot of people,” said 16 year-old Aisha Jansen, who lives near the Civic Hospital. “You have to make sure you keep each other motivated.”

The championships took place on April 6 and 7. While they lost in a semi-final game with a 1-0 score, the team competed in the bronze medal game against the Windsor Wildcats.

The girls came out on top in a tight score of 3-2.The Mobile Lawyer

Knitting Guru signs pattern books at Wabi SabiSal ly Melv i l le , Kitchissippi’s knitting queen, was signing her latest book, Knitting Pattern Essentials, at Wabi Sabi, 1078 Wellington Street West on April 13.

“It was lovely to meet lots of nice people who were interested in the book and happy to be there,” says Melville who has been knitting since she was a child and often posts patterns on Ravelry.com, an online knit and crochet community with three million members.

Melville has lived in Kitchissippi for five years. She’s also written two

knitting books with her daughter, Caddy Ledbetter.

“The book is about drafting. Design is getting the vision. Drafting is turning the vision into reality to produce a knitting pattern,” explains Melville who can’t count the number of sweaters she’s made over her lifetime both professionally, to support patterns, and as gifts.

Dillan Belisle explains that as the campaign continued he got over his nervousness about public speaking and focused on the cause.

Gianrocco Franco even used his personal birthday money to purchase cans to donate to the drive.

All three boys will be attending We Day, a forum to encourage youth initiatives, volunteering and participation, on April 29.

Sharing bikes, gardens and harvesting rain water

Story and photo by Marah Shields

Jada MacLeod from Spadina Avenue is excited to make use of Kitchissippi’s bicycle share service RightBike. Starting May 1, RightBike (rightbike.org) will be up and running for their second year.

“There’s a new hub (at the Hintonburg Community Centre) closer to my house this year, which I can use after work or on weekends. Last year I would often pop by

the hub at Cyclelogik on my lunch break,” says MacLeod, who practices naturopathy on Melrose Ave.

RightBike will officially launch their second season with more bikes, more hubs and more ways to get involved at the SLOWest Spring Gathering on May 4 at McCormick Park.

Lynda Boonstra, of Hinchey Ave, is itching to roll out her rain barrel to water her garden. An enthusiastic water re-user,

Boonstra has organized a rain barrel sale (rainbarrel.ca/grs) with Great River School, where her daughter is enrolled. A p a r t from providing an excellent source of water for gardening, rain barrels reduce water pollution from storm water runoff, which contains sediment, oil, grease and bacteria.

Erin Feeney, from Bromley Rd, is looking forward to backyard gardening with her two young boys.

“It’s reassuring to know where their food comes

from. They get the most nutrients when it goes right from the stem into their little mouth.” explains the mother-of-three. Feeney is keen to start a family garden this spring.

For residents who lack their own space for gardening, Kitchissippi still has plenty of accessible green space. GrowSLOW Gardens, for example, is a local group based in Kitchissippi who help gardeners and landowners connect to share garden space, labour and fresh produce.

Comparing the comfy RightBike cruisers to her own road bike, Jada MacLeod says “The basket is probably the number one feature for me.” But she also appreciates bringing her road bike into the RB workshop for tune-ups.

Nepean High School standing stronger than everGathering 90 years of graduatesStory and photo by Kristy Strauss

A flat screen television decorates a Nepean High School hallway, showing black and white images of the school’s 1928 cadet corp.

Names of students and teachers who served in the Second World War are written in beautiful calligraphy and preserved behind a glass casing at the school’s entrance.

In a small closet space, staff members are busy organizing countless boxes of newspaper articles, scrapbooks, letters and photos that have been collected over the decades and preparing for the school’s 90th anniversary celebrations.

“This school was built after the First World War and has been through the Second World War, Great Depression and Cold War – all these significant Canadian historic events,” says Patrick McCarthy,

Nepean High School’s principal. “All these events have come and gone in the past 90 years. It was the country’s coming of age in that time and it’s helped me appreciate the history of this school.”

The school opened to students in 1923, which McCarthy says indicates how local politicians felt about higher education in Ottawa.

“It shows a level of

commitment they had to higher education,” McCarthy says, adding that it was a time when most students finished school and started working at age 14 or 15.

Since its opening, the school has persevered through great losses – including its first principal, Percy Daniels, who died after just four years in his role.

The school endured the Great Depression and experienced loss throughout the Second World War.

“You can’t imagine being a student or teacher here and learning about a friend or neighbour passing away in the Second World War,” McCarthy says.

Over the years, notable Canadians received their high school diplomas from Nepean High School – including Kevin O’Leary from Dragon’s Den, musician Bruce Cockburn and actress Maria Del Mar.

And the school has been educating generations of

students whose roots are in Nepean High School.

“So many of our students have had older brothers and sisters, and parents and grandparents who have gone through Nepean,” McCarthy says, adding that many alumni who were high school sweethearts will be returning as married couples for the school’s anniversary celebrations.

The 90th anniversary events will take place May 10 to 12 and will include a tree planting, school tours, golf day and picnic at Dovercourt Recreation Centre.

McCarthy says the event will be a unique chance for current students to meet alumni.

“These reunions help kids see the significance of high school,” he says.

McCarthy added that his predictions for the next 90 years at Nepean include a different approach to teaching.

“It will be more about getting (students) to be dynamic and active learners,” says McCarthy enthusiastically.

From left: Nepean High School vice-principal Peter Wilson, library technician Jean Fortier, and principal Patrick McCarthy show some of the archives that the school has collected for the past 90 years. Fortier and Wilson show a scrapbook from 1953-1954 and McCarthy holds a picture of the school’s first graduating class.

King and I are seated at high-end see-through plastic chairs, part of a playful nod to the phony 48-storey ultra-elite and swanky Wellboron condo development, complete with website and banners featuring smiling couples, that’s part of his show.

After sharing a laugh about the over-the-top amenities his fictional condo development boasted of – valet stroller parking, a pet borrowing service and on-call, in-house nanny service – our conver-sation turns more serious.

“I’m not for- or anti-condo,” says King, who, for the record, lives in a home backing onto the Ashcroft convent devel-opment. “The neighbourhood is chang-ing, but we are all neighbours and every-one should have a place in our neighbourhood.”

Before launching his fake condo devel-opment in a vague area encompassing Wellington West that he christened the Digestive District, King put a call in to Councillor Hobbs’ office to clear the con-cept with her. “I’m making a comment, but I didn’t want other people who have nothing to do with this show to get lots of irate calls from angry neighbours.”

Along with the paintings featuring enormous diggers and dump trucks over-shadowing King’s iconic houses are por-traits of neighbourhood landmarks. The old movie theatres, the factories, the busi-nesses that were once the places where neighbours gathered and worked but have now been demolished or repurposed speak to King. In fact, he’s created a book

of these sketches, accompanied by histori-cal information, which is also part of the show.

“It’s a retrospective of the neighbour-hood,” he says.

While there’s certainly been a solid dose of tongue-in-cheek humour about the show – King started postering the neighbourhood on April Fool’s Day and readily admits he wanted to see if people would believe in a 48-storey condo with ridiculous amenities – he’s concerned about the potential loss of history and of stories both big and small during large-scale construction: “There’s nothing sad-der than seeing an old home demolished…a quarter of the paintings in this show are of little homes being removed,” he says.

District 15 runs until April 30 at 1304 Wellington Street West. For more infor-mation on Andrew King’s art: andrewkingstudio.com

Where community, business and arts overlapReady to enter stage leftStory and photo by Kathleen Wilker

Natalie Hanson, outgoing Executive Director of the Westboro BIA, has been an involved Kitchissippi resident since she moved to Hintonburg in 1999. “At first my focus was on building community, because that’s what needed to be done,” says Hanson whose professional background includes journalism, marketing, communications and photography.

After serving on the Board of Newswest and as the Volunteer Coordinator for the Hintonburg 5K, among numerous other volunteer positions, Hanson now feels that the neighbourhood is more or less established and she can pursue other, more niche, volunteer interests with a clear conscience.

“I’ve always wanted to get involved in the arts and volunteering as Chair of the Board for the Ottawa Theatre School was a great fit,” she says.

“It’s exciting to have time to nurture the arts and support young theatre professionals,” says Hanson.

Natalie Hanson and I are meeting in Artistic Director Bruce Bissonnette’s office as the studios, hall and library at 294 Picton Avenue are full of student actors rehearsing for The Farm Show, on April 22-27, 8:00 pm.

Incidentally, Hanson’s photo of a red winter barn on the Experimental Farm is the stunning poster art for the play. “I’m available to do whatever needs to be done,” explains Hanson who will also work the box office during the play’s run.

Outside the door is the sound of singing. Rehearsal is definitely in progress. “On the weekend the halls are full of kids enrolled in the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama’s classes,” says Hanson.

Between answering emails for the Theatre School and answering questions from directors and stage managers, Bissonnette pipes up with

praise for Hanson. “Passion spurs us on and Nat is passionate about the arts,” he says.

“Well, I am a writer first,” she responds.

“We’ll have to get you enrolled in our playwriting class,” Bissonnette insists. Hanson’s raised eyebrows suggest there may not be time for that new venture in the immediate future, but it’s definitely on her agenda.

During her two and a half years as Executive Director of the Westboro BIA, Hanson had the opportunity to combine her love of grassroots community with learning about and connecting with Kitchissippi’s business community. “They’re an amazing group of people,” she says.

As is often the case with uber volunteers who prefer to shine the spotlight on others rather than have the spotlight shining on them, Hanson is shy about the photo we’re about to take.

Like the theatre professional he is, her colleague Bissonnette coaches Hanson through the photo: “Look at me, look at me, ignore the camera, ignore the camera. Now…turn.” The initial results are hilarious, too full of laughter and too much turning, but we eventually capture a photo everyone’s pleased with. And the show, as they say, goes on.

Students raising funds to support children’s healthWeaving, wearing positive thinkingStory and photo by Kristy Strauss

Maya Velic of Hintonburg is celebrating her gymnastics class. Ian Craig of Westboro is celebrating his sailing camp.

The Grade 6 students at Churchill Alternative School are part of a class that hopes to sell 300 purple and yellow bracelets to benefit Do It For Daron (difd.com, a youth-driven initiative about raising awareness and starting conversation about youth mental health) and CHEO, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

The students also intend to remind people, through their bracelets, that they have something to celebrate.

The project, which is called The Bracelet, is a charity business the students have taken on as part of the Learning Partnership’s Entrepreneurial Adventure Program (thelearningpartnership.ca).

This program is for students from kindergarten to Grade 12 and aims to teach students about creating and operating their own business.

Velic, 12, said the class thought of the idea to sell friendship bracelets – but wanted to take the idea a step further and have people be reminded to celebrate when they look at their wrists.

“It’s just to bring up good spirits,” said Velic.

With help from the Bank of Montreal, the students received a $100 loan for supplies and got to work. For three days, the students made bracelets out of embroidery floss.

The yellow colour represents CHEO and purple represents Do It For Daron, the charity founded by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her life to suicide in November 2010 at age 14.

“I thought making the bracelets was not quite my thing, but…it was fun chatting with friends while weaving,” said Craig, 11, adding that he grew to love the project and that he’s motivated knowing each bracelet will make a difference for Do It For Daron and CHEO.

“I thought it was a great idea helping kids with their problems,” Craig said.

Velic also said that both charities hit close to home and affect all the children in their age group.

“Most of us have been to CHEO,” she said, adding that the class also wanted to help stop bullying. “When

we heard the story of what happened to Daron, it was really sad, so we thought (the bracelets) could stop that from happening to other people.”

The students’ teacher, Tiiu Tsao, wanted to get her students involved in the project.

“I was looking for a team bonding experience, and this project lends itself well,” she said, adding that each student brings their own strength to the project. “There are jobs for mathematicians, [for] students who want to be the faces of the project, [and] little crafty jobs – so there’s just something for everybody. And, we’re all working together for a common goal.”

The students made 300 bracelets and sold them outside in the school yard on April 24.

Maya Velic, 12, and Ian Craig, 11, are part of a Gr. 6 class at Churchill Alternative School selling bracelets for charity.
