Manotick residents ‘abandoned’ by councillor Group decries delay of Earl Armstrong extension Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Members of the Manotick Village and Community Association were livid after their councillor spearheaded a move to defund a long-planned extension of

Earl Armstrong road in favour of widening Prince of Wales Drive. “This is against the interests of Manotick,� said association president Klaus Beltzner at a meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt moved the motion at the city’s transportation committee on Nov. 15 while discussing the five-year Transportation Master Plan, (TMP).

The motion would delay the Earl Armstrong extension between Bowesville and Bank Street past 2031 and instead use the project’s pre-approved $20 million to fast-track a widening of Prince of Wales

between Merivale and Hunt Club Roads.

The association accused Moffatt of abandoning his Manotick residents in favour of the wishes of suburban councillors Jan Harder and Steve Desroches to keep Earl Armstrong from becoming a truck route connected to the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge. “It was supposed to be a link in a major network,� said Brian Tansley, past president of the association. “This is a misappropriation of taxpayers’ money.�

Moffatt said he wanted to fast-track the Prince of Wales project because of chronic congestion along the arterial

road, which is a main route downtown for residents in the south end of the city.

His motion had two aims: first, to move the scope of the project south of Hunt Club down to Merivale, instead of widening between Colonnade Road and Hunt Club.

Secondly, his motion proposed delaying the Earl Armstrong extension past 2031 and using that money to fund the Prince of Wales widening instead.

But even those changes, which amount to freeing up $43 million, won’t be enough to widen the section of Prince of Wales, so the committee tasked staff with a value-engi-

neering study to see if the estimated $76-million budget for the project could be whittled down. That study will be done in 2014 so the Prince of Wales widening can be considered in 2015 after the StrandherdArmstrong bridge has opened, when the city was already planning to look at modifying some of the intersections along Prince of Wales Drive.

The motion passed unanimously and was set for a council vote on Nov. 26.

Moffatt said his constituents have long asked for Prince of Wales to be widened, and for him that has to be the priority.

Short-term solution to use Rideau, River Roads to access bridge Continued from the front

“I have to say I’m a bit surprised that Scott would be in favour of the motion that came forward,” said Thompson, who said he planned to talk to his neighbouring councillor to see if he can change his mind. “It’s so critical for Osgoode Ward and the west end of the city.”

“Prince of Wales is a key transportation link for residents in Rideau-Goulbourn,” Moffatt said. “The future growth in Manotick is counting on a transportation network that allows residents to get out of Manotick.”

Moffatt said removing the Earl Armstrong connection from the master plan doesn’t mean the project won’t happen.

“Every five years we review (the TMP) and we make changes to it,” he said. “The opportunity’s going to be there to advance that project.

I just wanted Prince of Wales first and I think the community wants Prince of Wales first.”

But residents – and even some councillors – weren’t buying it.

Beltzner said removing an approved, funded project from the master plan undoes years of behind-the-scenes work to get it on there.

“If the money is there for a project (on the TMP) it is approved and funded, and it’s going to get done,” he said.

“But if you take the money away it could take 100 years to get done.”

The association was also mad that Moffatt didn’t consult his constituents before making the motion.

“Scott believes he knows what’s best for Manotick without asking his residents,” Beltzner said. “I’m not going to shy away from calling him out on this.”

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he was struggling to understand why Moffatt would move to delay a project that he said would be such a boon to Rideau-Goulbourn residents.

Thompson said the extension would simultaneously remove trucks from Mitch Owens Road (and therefore Manotick’s troubled Bridge Street) while providing an east-west arterial for traffic in the south end.

NETWORK ISSUE

Congestion on Prince of Wales is recognized as a longtime issue for south-end residents, but the Manotick association said connecting Earl Armstrong to the StrandherdArmstrong truck network has to remain the priority.

The group said the bridge opening in 2014 will automatically reduce congestion on Prince of Wales by allowing some traffic to cross the river and go north on more easterly arterials like River and Limebank Roads.

Earl Armstrong, on the other hand, will be a useless limb for the surrounding road network unless it can be connected to Albion Road and Bank Street to allow a proper east-west arterial from the bridge.

“City staff have designated the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge a truck route, but this motion limits the truckers’ ability to get to the bridge,” Beltzner said.

Moffatt was skeptical that

enough traffic would actually go east along the bridge to noticeably ease congestion on Prince of Wales.

“I think that for a short period of time traffic is going to try to go the other way, but it won’t take them very long to realize that’s not actually faster and then they’ll go back to Prince of Wales,” Moffatt said.

The Manotick group also said delaying an Albion Road connection could hurt any future development at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, which the city has designated as the only place for an Ottawa casino.

But Moffatt said the city wants to see a casino long before the Earl Armstrong connection would be constructed, regardless of his motion.

palatable, and to install a much-needed traffic signal at Mitch Owens and Manotick Station Road to add an extra truck deterrent.

Beltzner also asked him to advocate for the city to pave Earl Armstrong to High Road, which would at least allow local car traffic to access Albion Road until the truck-approved extension can be built.

Beltzner said he wanted to get the projects into the 2014 budget, leaving less than a week to make it happen before the council vote on Nov.

27. But Moffatt said it’s more likely the work will be put into the 2015 budget.

“It would be very difficult to get it on the budget for 2014; it would be better to push for 2015,” Moffatt said.

“We need a bit more time to do our due diligence.”

Moffatt added he is committed to finding solutions to Manotick’s truck traffic problems earlier than any potential Earl Armstrong connections could offer them.

“There will be options in the future rather than hoping

that a road that’s built 12 to 17 years from now will be the solution to all our problems,” Moffatt said, adding that it’s no use predicting traffic patterns until the bridge opens.

“I really think that bridge opening is the first step. We can try to predict traffic patterns all we want but people will find a way to go that they want to go. Sometimes you just have to let traffic decide where it wants to go.”

Your inner bargain hunter Y won’t believe all the choices.

SHORT-TERM SOLUTION

Whether Moffatt’s motion passes or not, it would still take no fewer than 12 years to extend Earl Armstrong eastward.

In the interim, Moffatt has agreed to support a temporary solution that would encourage trucks to use Rideau Road, which is already deemed a truck route.

The plan would require the city to widen and signalize the intersection of Rideau and River Roads to make turning north towards the bridge more

‘School to pool’ path could become reality Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

“All the high school students who live in Manotick will use it, all the Manotick kids who use the soccer fields will use it and all the people who want to commute by bike to the Leitrim park and ride will use it,� said Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village and Community Association which supported the presentation.

He said many parents currently drive their kids to activities along that stretch.

“It’s unsafe to do anything else,� he said.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said even if the project isn’t included on the master plan, at least it has been brought to staff’s attention. “I think we gain from that; at least it’s on the radar now,�

Thompson said. “One of the goals is to connect communities with bike lanes and bike paths, so I hope my colleagues would see fit to support it.�

Thompson said the project may still be several years away, but in the meantime city staff will also look at repaving the shoulders along Mitch Owens to at least fix some of the pot holes and crumbling asphalt.

Funding for the off-road path will be the major barrier, he added, especially since the project likely involves securing an easement from private landowners in the area.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt also supports the concept – since it benefits residents in his ward, too - but agreed it could be too costly. “We need co-operation (from landowners) and we need it to not cost money,�

Moffatt said. “If you’re dealing with land acquisition it’s going to be near impossible.�

But if the project is not approved to be included in the master plan, that by no means kills the dream of seeing this become a reality, Moffatt said. “(The master plan) is not the be all and end all,� he said. “Projects can still be done regardless of whether or not they’re in the TMP. We review the budget every single year.�

Moffatt said the five-year master plan is meant for big picture planning rather than small, neighbourhood-specific projects.

Southe Point resident Jacqueline de Waal van Hees has been spearheading this project for several years. She told the transportation committee on Nov. 15 that this pathway can solve a number of problems at once.

First, it improves safety for cyclists and pedestrians who currently travel along Mitch Owen’s paved shoulders. De Waal van Hees said the 80 km/ h road is a truck route and sees a large volume of heavy truck traffic at all hours of the day.

This combined with a grow-

ing number of subdivisions along the stretch increases the chance of a collision, she said.

The pathway would also encourage healthy living habits, particularly for the young people who would use it to access the high school, soccer fields and other community facilities.

De Waal van Hees also argued that the path would improve connectivity between the villages, which currently have no east-west link. The path would help Manotick residents access the north-south Osgoode multi-use pathway further east, which connects to other paths and transit options.

She said the plan has been endorsed by the St. Mark parent council, Ottawa South United soccer club, the Ottawa Catholic School Board, the South Pointe Community Association and the Manotick Village Community Association.

The concept was also included in the Manotick on the Move document created by the Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association in 2012.

News – City staff will consider an east-west multi-use pathway between St. Mark High School and River Road near Manotick.

Residents from the South Pointe neighbourhood in Manotick Station proposed their idea to the transportation committee on Nov. 15, when councillors and city staff accepted public input on the

draft transportation master plan. Staff were directed to consider the project’s feasibility in time for the council vote on Nov. 26, after this paper’s press time.

The pathway would run south of Mitch Owens Road between Dozois Road and River, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to access the high school and soccer fields in the east and the library and pool in the west without having to brave the busy arterial.

Modern home approved for Dickinson Square Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

7,&2

News – The city’s committee of adjustment has approved several minor variances to allow a new, modern-looking home at 1120 Mill St. in Dickinson Square.

Property owner John BrulĂŠ applied to the committee to grandfather several irregular setbacks currently in place on the property, which backs onto the Rideau River.

His application asked for a setback of 19.77 metres from the river, while the city’s bylaw calls for 30 metres.

Following the city’s rules would leave only a few metres of space on the narrow property to build, since the property is only 35 metres wide.

The home that currently sits on the property is about 40 years old and would be demolished to make way for the new structure.

The proposed replacement is a 3,580 square foot (333 square metre) bungalow with a walk-out basement, designed with contemporary features and natural wood and stone finishes, according to a cultural heritage impact statement prepared by Commonwealth Resource Management on behalf of BrulĂŠ.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said he is pleased with the revised design, which better complements the other heritage buildings in the square.

At a public meeting in September, Moffatt had voiced concerns that the ultra-modern building was not a good fit for the square, which includes buildings dating back to the 1860s.

He asked BrulĂŠ to consider implementing some of the architectural guidelines that were developed for other cityowned properties under development in the square.

Moffatt said those concerns were taken seriously. “The (impact statement) led to revisions to the design of the facade which I feel incorporate the property into the square more appropriately than the previous design,� Moffatt said

in a written statement. “I feel, while the owner maintained the shape and size of the building, he softened some of the exterior design that will not allow it to distract from its neighbouring properties.�

FILE The impact statement said This 1970s house at 1120 Mill St. could soon be demolished to make way for a more the design aims to strike a bal- modern-looking home, now that the city has grandfathered several irregular setbacks on ance in the square. the property. “The design draws a distinction between what is historic and what is new while respecting the heritage character of the area,� the report said. “A reasonable balance has been struck between mere CHEVROLET BUICK GMC imitation of the existing forms and pointed contrast, thus complementing and respecting the heritage character of the area.�

Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner said BrulĂŠ has been willing to work with the community from the start.

BrulÊ is incorporating an original millstone into the home’s front facade, and has gifted a Dickinson-era mill safe to the community.

The committee of adjustment approved the application after adding a condition that the property’s trees be preserved.

The fun begins in Metcalfe with a community breakfast between 8 and 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Metcalfe Community Centre.

Santa will be there to pose for photos, and families can enjoy a breakfast of pancakes, sausages, coffee, tea and juice. The event is sponsored by the St. Catherine Catholic School council, but the whole community is invited to join in the fun.

Ogilvie Mercedes Benz Celebrates the Arrival of the 2014 S-Class Ogilvie Mercedes Benz Reveal Event by Brian Turner Mercedes Benz is returning to its rightful place as an automotive leader in ways that mark both the best of the past and future in an industry that defines change.

On November 14th, Ogilvie Mercedes Benz in Ottawa invited its customers, clients, and the press to an event that few auto-makers sadly seem to take the time to offer any more; an evening dedicated to the launch of a new model.

Few of our current generation have ever experienced the excitement that auto-makers and car dealerships use to create when the new models arrived. Our parents and grandparents can remember when, every fall their neighbourhood retailers would paper over the windows of their showrooms and send out hand-written invitations to their customers for a special evening when the new models would be revealed. Everyone would be caught up in the excitement and wonder what wheeled marvels were hidden behind the blacked-out windows.

Water-cooler talk would be dominated by speculation on new body styles, engine options, and prices as the day approached.

Perhaps our current generation has been jaded by the onslaught of multi and social media advertising and many retailers and automakers alike can be excused for thinking progress has taken its toll and there really is no excitement anymore when a smart-phone can provide all the details.

Mercedes Benz and their dealer group are the carmaker that marked the beginning of the automotive age over 125 years ago. It’s fitting that they still honour the traditions that mean the difference between utilitarian transport and the art and sport of motoring.

Mercedes believes that people deserve the option of choosing a vehicle that

not only efficiently moves them and their passengers in safety and style but pays tribute to the craftsmanship of designers, engineers, and the tradespersons that create their products.

The staff at Ogilvie Mercedes Benz are united in their belief that we all deserve to drive the best vehicles available today as well as being treated to an ownership experience second to none.

In their newly renovated and expanded St. Laurent Blvd. facilities, the owners, management, and staff at Ogilvie Mercedes Benz welcomed their guests to experience the peak of automotive accomplishment in the forms of the2014 S-class full-size sedans and the CLA 250 mid-sized autos.

The parallels between the S Class flagship sedans and Ogilvie Mercedes are worth noting. The S550-4Matic (equipped with Mercedes patented all-wheel drive system) is available in a long wheelbase version with a reconfigured and opulent interior to provide expansive limo roominess in the passenger rear seat position. Ogilvie Mercedes has also under

gone two phases of a multi-million dollar expansion and redesign of every customer department to bring the same personally welcoming touches to an expanding client family.

Sales director, Leslie Mise, noted at the event that Mercedes is reaching out to a much wider and diverse demographic starting with younger professionals and growing families.

“The outdated image of Mercedes Benz as an automaker for the elite has been replaced with overwhelming consumer acceptance of this iconic firm as a global supplier of vehicles for almost every need and budget. Our increase in sales and market-share in this region is mirrored in every major centre across the country.”

The S-class group of vehicles receives two great power-plants in the form of a twin-turbocharged 4.6 L gasoline V8 and a 577 hp 5.5 L for the sportier AMG version. These single-craftsman built engines provide efficient power along with the confidence of a finely tuned suspension system and drive-line.

Ogilvie Mercedes as well is flexing its power (buying power that is) by being able to bring all the most popular models to its facility, thanks to recording-setting sales. Mercedes Benz Canada is providing generous and early allocations of their newest vehicles so that Ogilvie Mercedes customers have access to the best. And Mercedes assemblers are proud to sign every engine they build. Ogilvie clients receive the confidence of having a personal transportation relationship with Canada’s leader in customer satisfaction.

The interior of the S-class has been thoughtfully designed and crafted to provide all the information that a driver needs, without distraction. It’s multitude of technology-leading safety systems include collision mitigation, infrared night vision sensors, autonomous braking systems for both vehicle and pedestrian collision avoidance. These features mirror the care that each member of the Ogilvie team takes whether dealing with a comprehensive pre-owned vehicle protection package, or helping a customer select the correct winter tires, or even demonstrating an advanced heated wiper and washer system that beats any Canadian winter drive cold.

Just as every Mercedes product is imagined, designed and constructed to excel at its job; Ogilvie Mercedes’ team, facility and operating philosophy been designed to provide seamless, comfortable, and personal access to the best team of trained service and technology professionals, sales and parts consultants in the country. Contact them today and find out why driving the best doesn’t have to cost the most.

Tunnel study not worth money

D

espite the best intentions of Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, studying the possibility of digging a tunnel underneath Lowertown from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge to Highway 417 is no way to solve the problem of heavy trucks moving through the city core.

Fleury recently put forward a motion calling for the city to raise the subject of a study with the provincial government, asking Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park to split the estimated $750,000 cost.

This latest plan to address Lowertown truck traffic follows the collapse of National Capital Commission plans to establish a site in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east end for an interprovincial bridge. That collapse was triggered by the Ontario government, which withdrew support for the NCC bridge study shortly after the Kettle Island corridor was revealed as the technically preferred route across the Ottawa River.

With an estimated cost of $1.6 billion, a bridge at Kettle Island was never going to be an inexpensive prospect. But for the money, a bridge is a far better way to solve the truck problem.

The first thing to consider would be how the cost of a tunnel would be divided. Since it would only be constructed on the Ontario side of the river, the Quebec government and city of Gatineau would

be under no obligation to contribute to the project.

While Fleury points to this as an advantage -- fewer compromises would need to be made to satisfy fewer political interests -- it does no service to Ontario taxpayers as they would bear the burden while Quebeckers get better access to the 417.

Another problem with the tunnel is it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily take all the trucks off the surface streets of Lowertown. Any tunnel to the 417 would be about two kilometres in length, making it longer than tunnels such as the Windsor-Detroit tunnel, the George Massey Tunnel in British Columbia and the LouisHippolyte Lafontaine Bridge-Tunnel in Quebec, each of which have restrictions on the transportation of dangerous goods. While the province would have to determine such restrictions for an Ottawa tunnel, it is unlikely dangerous goods would be allowed in the tunnel. And while the cost of a tunnel might be lower than a bridge, it would not offer the same potential economic boost a new crossing in the east end of the city would provide.

Rather than looking at a tunnel, Fleury should be encouraging the province to help consider a more politically palatable location for a bridge, perhaps further east. The problem of truck traffic needs to be solved, but a tunnel doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really fit the bill.

Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this for radical thinking: streets without cars

D

riving on a downtown Toronto street on a Saturday night, I along with hundreds of other drivers, was trying to cope with construction zones that thrived even into the dark hours.

Each block brought new lane closures, new temptations to swerve suddenly in one direction or another to find open space.

Not many Toronto drivers are able to resist temptation, and I was tempted myself. At one point I pondered a swerve into the right-hand lane. Just as I decided against it, a bicyclist materialized from my right-hand blind spot and sped past. He wore dark clothing and no helmet. His bicycle had no lights. He was a dead man if I had made that lane change and it was only blind luck that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Many opportunities for sermonizing arise from this incident. You could rant about unsafe cyclists, or impatient motorists or the out-of-control condo boom that has turned so many streets into accidents waiting to happen.

You could get into the whole share-the-road argument again. You could even utter dark thoughts about Toronto.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about Toronto. Take a little spin along Queen Street in Ottawa tomorrow and think ahead. Until the light-rail construction is completed much of downtown Ottawa is

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town going to be an accident waiting to happen and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much matter to the victims whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at fault.

This compounds the difficulties of a society in which there are already too many cars, a growing number of bicycles, way too many distractions and a stubborn sense of entitlement on the part of the owners of both kinds of vehicles. Then, for a good chunk of the year, you can add in winter.

Anybody who thinks these difficulties can be avoided by adding a few bike lanes here and there is dreaming. There is a need for radical thinking. Cars and bicycles will be with us forever, and in greater numbers. Construction is inevitable, and mostly necessary.

The need to separate cyclists and motorists for the safety of each increases each day.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, November 28, 2013

While it is possible to sympathize with those who call for the re-education of drivers and cyclists, especially drivers, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slow process. Too slow. And some people are never going to get it.

So, maybe instead of thinking in terms of bicycle lanes we should be thinking in terms of bicycle streets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s separation for you.

Select a downtown street and take the cars right off it. Bicyclists would thank you. So would motorists, who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to contend with bicyclists any more than bicyclists like to contend with motorists.

Who would object? Not motorists and cyclists. Downtown merchants, maybe. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot to put up with in recent years and this is one more. But in the long run anything that makes getting downtown easier and more pleasant is in their best interests. Those located along the designated bicycle street will learn that cyclists spend money too.

Partly because of fitness concerns, partly because of hard economic times, there are more bicyclists on the streets. And there will be even more in the future. Since downtown is in turmoil anyway, this is the perfect time for radical experimentation.

Next on the agenda is finding a safer way for cyclists to get downtown, as well as to

suburban busy spots. Yes, there are some bicycle paths and these are well-used, but there are still bicyclists on Carling Avenue and Scott Street and other overcrowded and sometimes narrow arterials. These, in addition to bringing a shudder to anyone who sees them, demonstrate that there is a need for safer alternatives.

So maybe add in a bicycle-only arterial or two. Not many, but at least a couple.

I know. Think of the adjustments that would be necessary. But you know, as a city weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adjusting all the time, and we can handle it.

Valdy show packs Manotick church Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts – There were very few seats available as Canadian folk legend Valdy took the stage at St. James Anglican Church on Nov. 18.

The intimate concert was a fundraiser for the Manotick Karen Refugee Sponsorship Program, which the church has spearheaded to bring a family of six to Canada from their refugee camp along the Thai-Myanmar border.

The church is working with other churches and service clubs to raise about $35,000 in order to sponsor the family.

Co-organizer Joy Clarke said the sanctuary was packed after selling more than 200 tickets for the show – and the audience was rewarded with an upbeat, personalized performance.

“He really gave a great concert,” Clarke said. “It was something with very real emotions. It was about people and the things that make them happy and make them sad, and the beauty of the earth.”

Valdy was born in Ottawa and attended Glebe Collegiate Institute as a teen. He now lives on Saltspring Island in British Columbia.

The sponsorship committee kept about

half of the ticket sales, worth about $2,500, and also made money on wine and beer at a reception after the show. But Clarke said an exact total had not yet been calculated, and some fees still needed to be paid for equipment rentals and other costs.

She said Valdy donated half of the proceeds from the evening’s CD sales, and he also made a large private donation at the end of the night.

“He said he was very happy with the way the church was reaching out into the community to do this,” Clarke said.

The committee will host another musical fundraiser on Dec. 7 with a performance from the Christ Church Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys at 2 p.m. at the St. James church. Tickets are $15 each or $25 for a family.

Conditions apply. Contest draw December 29th, 2013. No purchase necessary. Contest rules and regulations available on our website and at reception. All guests must be over the age of 19 with valid, government issued, photo identification to enter the SLOTS & Dining Room. Everyone between 19 and 25 will be required to also show a second piece of non-photo ID. Exception: Sundays 11am - 10pm and Thursdays, 5pm - 10pm; the family entrance is located on the south side of the building.

Tree planting top-of-mind for environment budget Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city’s environment committee reconfirmed a planned seven per cent hike in water and sewer rates, but not before much discussion on forestry services.

A spotlight is being shone on the department as the city grapples with losing a large number of trees to the

emerald ash borer beetle.

The $16-million budget for forestry in 2014 includes $1.18 million more money than last year for planting trees (about 17,000 of them), but fewer staff members.

That frustrated Somerset Coun.

Diane Holmes, who said maintaining and increasing the tree canopy in her ward is a big priority for residents.

In the downtown, where homeowners “front yards” are often city right-of-ways, residents don’t want to see fewer staffers available to cut down and replace their tree if it dies, Holmes said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said his constituents are also becoming frustrated at the length of time it can take for forestry services to replace trees once they are cut R0012433551

down.

While Fleury said tree frustrations continue to grow in communities, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume disagreed, saying his experience with forestry was different than his colleagues.

Holmes and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko dissented on the forestry portion of the budget, but most committee members approved it on Nov. 19.

The water and sewer rate increase was decided prior to last year’s budget, which also saw a seven per cent

increase for that line. Increases of five and six per cent a year are projected for the next term of council.

The overall environment budget for the city includes $122.3 million in spending, $48.3 million of which comes from taxes.

That brings total spending down $216,000 from last year, mostly due to decreasing the number of staff.

The city’s entire $332.2-million operating budget and $309.5-million capital spending budget was to be considered by city council on Nov. 27, after this newspaper’s deadline.

Police officer killed in Metcalfe while driving into work Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - An Ottawa officer was killed while driving to work at the East Division police office on St. Joseph Boulevard on Nov. 17.

Const. Michael Robillard was driving on Eighth Line Road near Parkway Road around 3:30 p.m. when he was involved in a two-vehicle collision.

The two occupants of the second vehicle were sent to hospital after the crash.

The 32-year-old officer is survived by his wife Alyson and three-year-old son Ben. According to an Ottawa police press release, Robillard was passionate about “baseball, mu-

sic, and life in general.” He worked as a detective in the East Division district investigations section.

Robillard began his career with the Cornwall Police Service, and then transferred to Ottawa police in September 2009. He had a decade of policing experience.

“We have spoken to members of his family and have offered our sympathy and support,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau in a press release. “All members of our service mourn his loss.”

The Ottawa police service collision investigations unit is investigating the crash. All police buildings flew their flags at half mast until sundown on the day of his funeral.

Learning geography with artist Robert Bateman Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

Arts – It’s time for children to get reacquainted with the outdoors.

This is how master Canadian wildlife painter and naturalist Robert Bateman sees it.

The renowned artist made a return visit to his namesake school, Robert Bateman Public School, on Nov. 12 to challenge students to immerse

themselves in nature, and step outside into their own backyards.

Bateman said it was important to convey this message to the students because it could impact future generations.

Stepping away from the Wii system and into an environment where learning is without bounds is a healthier alternative, he said.

“I think that’s one of the most important questions fac-

ing the planet in many ways,” he said.

“For one thing we know with this lifestyle there’s more obesity, more Attention Deficit Disorder, more depression, more suicide, more drug abuse, more alcohol abuse, so it’s really bad for kids to be spending that much amount of time (with electronics)... We know nature is healing and curative, and there’s more and more neuroscience pointed to

that effect.”

He recalled a cartoon he saw a few years ago where two boys sat on a stoop.

“One boy turns to the other and says ‘What are you going to be if you grow up?’ If you grow up,” said Bateman.

“It’s the first generation in the history of our species where significant number of kids will die before their parents die in this kind of lifestyle, and how are they going to vote if they grow up, what stories will they tell their grandchildren in the good old days of Grand Theft Auto?”

“There’s a very wise Cowichan elder who once said, ‘We’ve been talking about what kind of world are we leaving for our children, but we have to start talking about what kind of children are we leaving for our world’.”

When it comes to the future where politics is concerned, it’s even more astonishing to see how people are going to vote if they’re not attuned to daily issues, he added.

“When you think of the voters of the future, are they going to vote for politicians who are going to spend their money in the environment?

Well, not if their heads are all bent over their electronics,” he said.

When Bateman was a child, he would hop on his bicycle and find adventures right near his home.

It’s time to change how people look at providing chil-

“I happened to live on a ravine, but people often say about all the kids that live in the city that they don’t have access to nature,” said Bateman.

“Well, we had bicycles, and we had the Toronto Transporation Commission, we could jump on a bus and get to nature. It’s not a big issue.”

His passion for depicting natural scenes and wildlife on canvas comes from the same

type of passion athletes harbour, he said.

“I did it I guess for the same reason that Wayne Gretzky played hockey and the same reason why Tiger Woods played golf – that’s who I was,” he said.

“However, I think that everybody, no matter if you’re Wayne Gretzky or Tiger Woods, would benefit from spending more time with nature.”

“What I am much more concerned about and interested in is: will they find entertainment at a lower level. Can these kids get excited about a bit of woods at the end of the street?”

STUDENTS STUDY NATURE

Starting on Nov. 1, all students at Robert Bateman Public School joined the “12 Days of November Nature Challenge” in anticipation of Bateman’s visit to his namesake school.

The Challenge is the school’s way to show him they are listening to his call to get outdoors and explore nature.

The prize was being the guest of honor at his presentation.

Bateman was also lauded for his contribution to geographical literacy and his advocacy to encourage Canadians, especially students and children, to get outside.

He received the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s (RCGS) Gold Medal, Canada’s highest honour in geography.

Before he accepted his medal, Bateman said he wanted to meet with the students from the school and talk geography.

Probus club hears about forgotten war Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Korean War was forgotten almost while it was going on, said Carleton University historian Andrew Burtch.

In the 60th year after the armistice that ended the conflict, Burtch said it’s important to remember the war that cost 516 Canadian lives, making it the

third deadliest in our country’s history.

“More than 26,000 Canadian soldiers served in that war, but they didn’t come home to fanfare and parades,” he said.

Burtch spoke to the Probus Club of Western Ottawa on Nov. 12 at the Kanata United Church. Burtch said the circumstances at the end of the Second World War provided the fodder for the conflict, not

unlike the situation in east and west Berlin.

“We had the communist regimes of China and the Soviet Union in charge of the northern part of Korea and the U.S. capitalist mentality in the south.”

War broke out when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea on June 25, 1950.

The South Koreans were unprepared for the assault and were pushed all the way to the Pusan peninsula before UN forces joined the fray to keep the North Koreans at bay.

Burtch said because Canada was focused on rebuilding the economy with the soldiers returning from Europe, it was harder to man the missions to

Korea.

“You got a lot of people who re-enlisted because they had trouble readjusting to civilian life or people who had wanted to join up in the Second World War but were too young,” he said.

A new Canadian battalion joined the fight in August 1950, but had to train for an additional eight weeks to deal with the mountainous terrain.

Burtch said most of the fighting took place at night and guerilla warfare was common.

“The Chinese army was very well trained in these tactics,” he said.

Eight Canadian destroyers were sent to Korea’s coast, but they were regularly under fire and their targets tough to hit because the ships mostly engaged in shore bombardments.

The conflict officially ended in July 1953, but involved thousands of meetings between the Chinese and UN officials.

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

Andrew Burtch of Carleton University talks to members of the Probus Club of Western Ottawa about the Korean War on Nov. 12.

Burtch said one of the sticking points was what to do with prisoners of war.

“There were a lot of people from the North who would have faced punishment if they were repatriated, so eventually everyone agreed to let the

prisoners decide if they wanted to return there or stay in the South,” Burtch said.

“It really is the forgotten war, but I think it’s important to remember the contributions that were made by those in service,” he said.

Maple yule log a festive, tasty treat Lifestyle - This holiday tradition is even more Canadian with the addition of pure maple syrup.

Spread maple syrup-flavoured whipped cream on the maple sheet cake and roll up.

This can be made up to three weeks ahead, assembled and frozen. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking time: 12 minutes. Serves 10 to 12.

INGREDIENTS

Cake: â&#x20AC;˘ 250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose or cake-and-pastry flour â&#x20AC;˘ 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder â&#x20AC;˘ 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt â&#x20AC;˘ 4 eggs

â&#x20AC;˘ 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup â&#x20AC;˘250 ml (1 cup) brown sugar, not packed â&#x20AC;˘ icing sugar Filling: â&#x20AC;˘ 250 ml (1 cup) whipping cream â&#x20AC;˘ 25 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tbsp) maple syrup Topping: â&#x20AC;˘ 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) whipping cream â&#x20AC;˘ 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup Garnishes: â&#x20AC;˘Cocoa, shaved chocolate and whole cranberries.

PREPARATION

Line a 45-by-29 centimetre (17-by-11 inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Spray it with no-stick vegetable spray and

set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to blend well.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and maple syrup using an electric mixer until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly thickened.

Gradually add the brown sugar, beating until thick.

Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture in three additions, folding gently after each addition.

Spread evenly in the pan and bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown and firm to the touch.

Sift about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of icing sugar onto a clean tea towel in an even layer.

Invert the cake and pan onto the towel, remove the pan, and carefully peel off the paper.

Roll up the cake and towel together (begin at the short or long edge, depending on whether you want a longer thin or shorter thick Yule log).

Let it cool completely on a rack.

For the filling, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled medium bowl until firm peaks form. Unroll the cake and spread filling evenly over the surface.

Roll up the cake again, using towel to help.

(Cake can be wrapped and frozen at this point if desired, or frozen after adding the whipped cream topping.) For the topping and garnishes, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled medium bowl until firm peaks form.

Completely cover the top, sides and both ends of rolled cake with the cream.

With a fork, make tree bark marks on the surface, then dust with cocoa if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it.

Cover the cake and refrigerate or wrap it well and freeze until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to serve it.

Transfer from the freezer to refrigerator half an hour before serving.

Serve with your choice of garnishes.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL

“That was way to easy!”

The zoning amendment proposal affects the entire territory of the City of Ottawa.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendment comes in response to direction by Ottawa City Council on April 24, 2013, requesting “a study in respect of the land use planning policies associated with the conversion of low-density residential uses to increase the number of dwelling units to three or more for the purposes of assessing the land use planning impact of such developments and establishing further zoning standards to help ensure their compatibility.”

“I can't believe I saved so much... ”

The proposed amendment will eliminate the distinction between conversions that increase the number of dwelling units in existing dwellings and new construction in the Zoning By-law. As a result, a dwelling that is modified to increase the number of dwelling units will be subject to the same zoning provisions (including the required setbacks, side yards, height limits, minimum lot dimensions, landscaping and parking) as a dwelling that was purpose-built with that many dwelling units.

The proposed amendment will establish limits on the number of rooming units permitted in a Converted Rooming House in the R4 (Residential Fourth Density) zones, and modify the limits on this use in the R3 (Residential Third Density) zones. This use will be limited to a maximum of seven rooming units in these zones.

The proposed amendment will also introduce a minimum requirement for amenity areas in the rear yard at grade for Rooming Houses, Converted Rooming Houses, Three-unit Dwellings and Low-rise Apartment Dwellings in residential zones. Amenity space of 15m2 per dwelling unit for the first eight dwelling units would be required.

Rooming Houses and Converted Rooming Houses would require 7.5m2 of amenity space for the first eight rooming units, plus 3m2 per rooming unit thereafter.

FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to Ottawa.ca/conversions.

December 25 • 5pm to 10pm Reserve 613.738.0330 Last reservations at 9 pm • dine@shallows.ca

RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS N/A SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by January 10th, 2014. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Dated at the City of Ottawa this 28th day of November, 2013.

NCC board approves Rideau Centre facade Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new façade proposed for the Rideau Centre has been granted approval by the National Capital Commission.

Cadillac Fairview, owner of the downtown shopping centre, proposed changes that will affect the facade on portions of Rideau Street, Colonel By Drive, Nicholas Street and McKenzie King Bridge.

NCC staff presented the latest plans along with a recommendation to its executive board on Nov. 20.

The proposed plans were well received by the board and were unanimously ap-

proved.

“It is sure a big improvement over what we have now,” said Russell Mills, board chairman.

According to the staff report, the reconstruction of the facade along with new store fronts is expected to have a significant impact on the capital experience and promote increased street activity.

Conceptual plans for the new facade were submitted to NCC staff a year ago and presented to the board in April 2013.

The conceptual images show a revamped Rideau Street and Mackenzie King entrances, an updated pedestrian bridge between the

shopping centre and the Hudson’s Bay store on the opposite side of Rideau, and a new garage entrance on Nicholas Street.

The commission does not own the land, but a restrictive covenant was part of the 1981 sale to then-owners of the property, the Viking Rideau Corporation, which states any alterations to the exterior or new structures built are subject to the approval of the NCC. Leading up to the approval, board members raised some concern about signage and whether those designs should be either approved now or at a later date.

NCC staffer Fred Gaspere

confirmed conversations about signage were ongoing with the Cadillac Fairview.

Board member Jason Sordi asked whether plans would affect or work well with other city plans for the area, including updating transit for the downtown location.

According to Gaspere, the NCC is also working with the city and federal government to ensure streetscaping and transit are being considered as the project moves forward.

The board approved the plans with the following conditions: • The project exterior signage must be developed further and in accordance to NCC guidelines for naming

You made do or you did without in Depression MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table. “I’m making soap today,” she said.

She had been saving lard from the fried bacon, roasted pork and anywhere else she could find a spoonful or two of fat. By the time soap day rolled around, about four small honey pails of fat sat on an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready.

The tin of Gillette’s lye was already bought at Scott’s Hardware in Renfrew, and we children were warned every day not to even touch the tin it came in, so deadly it was.

“It’s poison and it will burn a finger to the bone,” Mother warned. Every time I walked through the summer kitchen, I looked at the yellow and black lettered tin of lye like

it alone had started the First World War. Even before we went to school, Mother would have started the soap making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and halffill the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step of the process. Mother would pry off the lid with a knife and pour the lye over the hot water. Great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water, which would cool off almost

immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed in the water. There was an old wood spoon with a very long handle that was used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water. The fact that Mother wore a pair of Father’s old work gloves confirmed in my mind how dangerous the lye was. We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove so the contents turned to liquid, were brought close to the table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would be stirred into the mixture. Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla. That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing. Audrey said the hardest part of soap making was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours.

I would picture in my mind Mother with Father’s old work gloves on, stirring and stirring and making sure not a drop would touch her skin.

PET OF THE WEEK Murray is a lively curly-coated 16-month old Labradoodle who lives in the Alta Vista neighbourhood.

He’s inquisitive, friendly and VERY energetic.

He loves nothing more than letting loose in the dog park.

ing a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat.

Audrey, Mother and me were the only ones to use the soap made with a dash of vanilla, but as far as I was concerned, the vanilla did little to take away the strong smell of Gillette’s lye.

It would be a long time before Mother finally bought a bar of real soap. I thought it smelled just as bad as what she had made. It was called Lifebouy, it was bright red and even my brother Emerson, who hated the lye soap as much as I did, said it smelled only a bit better than the smell of the cow byre. The smell lingered on your body for hours. One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory, but it was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper and stored away until her next visit. So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without.

Pet Adoptions Meet Sundae (A156814), a six-year-old male tabby who has been at the shelter since June 5. Sundae is desperately seeking a forever home. Could you be the person to make Sundae’s dreams come true? If you’re looking for the kind of cat who can’t get enough head scratches, Sundae is you guy. He loves to cuddle and get brushed. He also loves playing with toy mice and watching the world go by through the window. Sundae is on a reducing diet because he needs to lose a little weight. A few play sessions with his new family could help him reach his goals. Sundae is best suited to forever home with mature teens or adults who can teach him proper play behaviour.

Keep your pet safe this holiday season The holiday season presents many hazards for pets – from frequent visitors and cold weather to dangerous decorations. Here some tips to keep your companion animals safe, healthy and happy as we enter into holiday party season: 1. Holidays are a busy time for visiting and being visited — you may be away for extended periods or have a house full of guests. If you’re away, have someone check in on your pet or board your pet.

Note that your pet’s vaccinations will have to be up-to-date to be accepted at a boarding facility.

2. If you’re entertaining, you may wish to keep your pets in a quiet room away from the noise and activity. If they’re mingling among the guests, make sure you’re monitoring them so that they don’t share your guests’ holiday finger foods.

3. Holiday decorations should be pet-friendly. Avoid using tinsel on trees.

Murray

By time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, or at least that was Mother’s hope.

But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into bars. While that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a finger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut.

I could never figure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard. When it did (and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday washings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water. Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water, and it wasn’t unusual at all to have a piece of lye scrape across your body during a bath, leav-

Curious animals are attracted by the shiny strings and may swallow them, which can lead to serious injury-and expensive surgery. Ornaments hung on lower tree limbs should not be breakable.

Also, do not use holiday decorations made of food.

4. Barricade the water trough around your Christmas tree to prevent your pet from drinking the water, which may be dirty and contain pine needles, which are indigestible.

5. Be careful with holiday lights.

Secure electrical cords and conceal outlets. Pets may chew on cords; and keep pets away from open flames.

6. Some traditional holiday plants are toxic to pets. Keep your pets away from mistletoe, holly, poinsettias and amaryllis.

If ingested, they may cause vomiting, diarrhea and/or other problems. If your pet has ingested something you’re unsure about, call your veterinarian.

7. After gifts have been unwrapped,

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

discard or store wrapping paper and ribbons, which could be dangerous play toys for pets.

8. You’re not the only one excited about holiday gifts. Don’t leave unopened presents unattended. You may find out the hard way that Aunt Jane got you a delicious box of Belgian truffles. Note that chocolate is toxic for cats and dogs.

9. Table scraps and leftovers aren’t just too rich for your pets – bones in the meat could lead to serious complications or death.

10.Ensure that holiday decorations are unreachable by your pet and away from dangerous places, such as the fireplace.

11.Always ensure that your pet is wearing adequate identification. With more frequent comings-and-goings, it’s easy for your pet to slip out of the house unnoticed.

12.On colder days, limit your pet’s exposure to the out-of-doors to short time periods.

ow often I had begged Mother to find the few pennies it would take to buy just one bar of storebought soap?

There was always a better place for her egg money, she’d say. And besides, there was nothing wrong with the bars of home-made soap she churned out once or twice a year.

Along with my loathing for the home-made soap, was my absolute dislike for the days Mother put aside to make it.

That seemed to happen in spring and fall. It couldn’t be too hot, or too cold. Winter had yet to settle in that year I remember with such clarity.

The summer kitchen was still being used to store things, but soon it would be too cold to be nothing more than a place to pile the wood, and once the snow came, it was through the summer kitchen we went to get rid of as much snow off our feet as possible before coming into the kitchen.

Mother announced at breakfast that morning that Audrey and I were expected

insurmountable.
