A grant will bring dance to more Ottawa schools.

News - A struggle over where to put cars in increasingly dense suburbs dominated an Oct. 17 discussion about building better suburbs.

The city wants to guide the building of more complete suburban communities that make efficient use of utilities while serving areas that are intensifying the fastest, said Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of planning policy development and urban design. “This is where we are getting our growth ‌ The suburbs are unique,â€? Snedden said. “We need to figure out what’s the best way to make it liveable for people.â€?

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said that in the past, development standards for the urban area have been applied to the suburban area, but now the city is looking to be more creative.

While city planning exercises like community design plans look at development and the size of homes, building better suburbs is about “all the other stuff,� Snedden said – schools, parks, utilities, trees and parking.

Neil Thomson, director of planning for the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, said he wasn’t impressed with the Building Better Suburbs process. He attended one of three concurrent meetings held in Kanata, Barrhaven and OrlĂŠans on Oct. 17. “It’s not about complete communities,â€? he said. “It’s about how many homes and cars we can crush into a small area.â€?

News - The city will reduce the speed limit, trim trees and eventually add a new warning light at the rail crossing where six people were killed when a bus and train collided last month.

The changes include reducing the speed limit to 50 kilometres per hour from 60 km/h in both directions approaching the Fallowfield crossing.

Sign clutter around the crossing will be reduced and replaced with signs that emphasize the slower speed limit.

sense of the size of the home they are buying before it’s built and once it’s constructed and people can see how small it is, it’s very difďŹ cult to resell, she said. “All those plans look wonderful and then once you move in, it’s smaller than you envisioned,â€? Sells said.

People shouldn’t discount market demand for those compact homes, said Sheldon Dattenberger, a consultant from Delcan who is working on the project for the city. “If there wasn’t a market for them, they wouldn’t build them,� he said.

But smaller homes and smaller lots come with parking headaches, participants said.

Donna Hinde, the consultant from the Planning Partnership who ran the session, asked if the participants thought providing more rear laneways would be a solution to the parking problem, but that didn’t go over well with participants. “They are an eyesore and a haven for criminal activity,� said Richard Stead, president of the Cedarhill Community Association. “It’s something that goes back to the horse-and-buggy era. Why do we need to have them in the suburbs?�

Barrhaven resident Don Halpenny’s concern was over maintenance of the lanes – whether it’s the city’s responsibilities or the residents have to come together to devise and fund a maintenance plan for things like snow clearing.

Harder said it’s common for people to park on their lawns or widen their “walkways� into ad hoc driveways, she said.

Daniel Coates lives in Fraser Fields and said the on-street parking situation in his neighbourhood is getting out of control. Residents park on the street to leave their driveways open for children to play and park their vehicles along both sides of his street instead, which creates a narrow and unsafe street that even snowplows can’t traverse, he said. “You drive through these new neighbourhoods and it’s like driving through a parking lot,� Stead said.

Coates was intrigued by Hinde’s suggestion of choosing one side of the street for parking and potentially switching sides on a scheduled timeframe, such as every two months.

That’s done in many Ontario munici-

palities, she said.

The matter of where to put sidewalks is closely tied to the parking issue, participants said.

Brad Nixon, a Findlay Creek resident, said he hopes the city will encourage the placement of sidewalks adjacent to driveways. “If they build a sidewalk partway up your driveway and leave a boulevard space between the road and the sidewalk you can’t park two cars in the driveway,� he said. “People are forced to park on the street.�

Many participants recognized the value of sidewalks, but concluded they shouldn’t be everywhere. “On a major roadway you’d be crazy not to have them,� said Eric Stephen, a resident of Old Barrhaven. “In an ideal world they should be on all streets,� but that’s probably not practical or affordable, he added.

Coates said putting sidewalks everywhere would not only cramp yards, it would drive up taxes.

Dattenberger, who is advising the city on infrastructure matters, said the goal is to balance the construction of infrastructure like sidewalks by putting them places they will actually be used.

Claude GagnĂŠ, a director with the Convent Glen-OrlĂŠans Wood Community Association, said she would like to see some of the elements for new suburbs retroďŹ tted into existing communities like Convent Glen. “We would like the city to consider older suburbs, where in fact, there are still things that need to be added to make them more vibrant neighbourhoods,â€? she said. “We have big trees, we have nice parks, but they’re completely empty.â€?

She supported elements like splash pads going into newer neighbourhoods to make sure the parks are used, but doesn’t want the city to forget about older suburbs who could also beneďŹ t from development.

The consultation will continue for 10 months. Early in the new year, the city will release proposed draft standards based on the feedback. The plan is expected to be considered by the city’s planning committee next June. Comments can be submitted to the city by emailing city planner Stan Wilder at stanley.wilder@ottawa.ca.

Hundreds of buses cross tracks each day

Changes are planned for the Transitway railroad crossing where a bus hit a Via train on Sept. 18.

The city will cut down dying trees and vegetation and move viable trees to other locations to improve sightlines, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick.

Those changes were set to be completed on Oct. 17 – a day after Kirkpatrick announced them during a transit commission meeting.

The city is also working with Via Rail to add an additional blinking warning signal in the northbound direction that would go off several seconds in advance of a train crossing.

The cost of adding that signal and the timeline for it to be installed and synched with Via’s signaling system are not yet known, Kirkpatrick said.

He emphasized the changes are not based on any orders, direction or recommendations from the Transportation Safety Board, the federal body taking the lead on the crash investigation.

The city came up with the changes after receiving observations from the board during a private briefing on Oct. 11. The observations were based on evidence gathered from a Sept. 28 re-enactment of the crash.

When asked why the city decided to undertake these changes now, Kirkpatrick said the city now has the benefit of the TSB’s observations.

The idea of having buses come to a full stop every time before crossing the tracks did not come up, Kirkpatrick said.

Roughly 530 in-service buses

cross the rail tracks at that location each weekday.

The city is not planning to apply any of these safety improvements to other level crossings in the city.

During its investigation, the TSB will look at bus, crossing and “human factors” that contributed to or caused the Sept. 18 crash between an OC Transpo and Via train. Thirty-three people were injured in the tragedy.

Parent makes plea for busing of older children Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa public school board could start offering yellow school buses to high school students thanks to a decision by a committee on Oct. 17.

Lillian Neitzel, a Kanata mother whose two older children started high school this year said she wasn’t aware until a week before school started that she would be responsible for providing the teens with a bus pass to make the more than six-kilometre trip each day.

The board has a transportation policy that says students living more than 3.2 km from their home school will be bused, but that only applies to those children living outside the urban transit area. The urban transit area is the part of the city served by public transit. Neitzel said the bus passes will cost $1,600 for the school year.

“Despite all the information nights I attended before my kids went to high school, there was no communication sent home that I would have to pay for their transportation,” she said, adding walking a safe route – away from heavily forested areas would be 7.2 km each way and take more than an hour.

“There’s really no option, they’d have to bus,” Neitzel said. The Ottawa Catholic School Board currently buses all high school children that live more than 3.2 km away from their home school.

The Ottawa Student Transit Authority is currently working with the public board on a effectiveness and efficiency review that would upgrade their transit needs from “moderate” to “moderate to high.”

The upgrade would come with increased funding for transportation. The review – which OSTA general manager Vicky Kyriaco said gives the transportation consortium specific

The board has a transportation policy that says students living more than 3.2 km from their home school will be bused, but that only applies to those children living outside the urban transit area. guidelines on increasing efficiences – would be done in 2014.

“One of the ways we have to do that is align the two board’s transportation eligibility guidelines,” she said, R0022373448

adding looking at school bell times and new technology to optimize mileage are some of the ways the consortium could find efficiencies. The motion, put forth by Orleans area trustee John Shea and Beacon Hill-Cyrville trustee Katie Holtzhauer, asked staff to consider the possibility of starting to bus high school students in September 2014.

Superintendent of facilities Mike Carson said the board is currently overspending its

transportation budget by $2.8 million. Adding in the high school students would bring that total to $7 million.

“But if we get increased funding because of the E and E review then we would receive $6.3 million in ongoing funding,” he said, adding that would reduce the shortfall to $700,000. Carson said the staff recommendation was to start busing high school students in the fall and use the board’s reserves to come up with the shortfall.

Currently the board has 7,400 students that are eligible for yellow school buses and another 1,000 that qualify for OC Transpo bus passes.

The new criteria would mean transporting an additional 5,300 students. Shea thanked his east-end colleague for her help in drafting the motion and said the public board could lose students to the Catholic board unless the change is made.

“We talk a lot about equity and access,” he said. “I think this is a real concrete way we can address that.”

Lynn Scott, trustee for West Carleton, Kanata and Stittsville, said she was on the board when the decision was made to stop busing high

school students in 1998. She added she’s please to see the change, but the board should also consider eligibility for busing students from rural areas to special program schools – like Canterbury High School or Colonel By Secondary School.

“We do need further information about equity of access for students outside the suburbs,” she said. “Some students are getting door-to-door service and others are not.”

Donna Blackburn said some parents may be in need of financial assistance for bus passes but are afraid to ask.

“I find that there are preconceived notions about where need is in this city,” she said.

“I can tell you that there’s a food cupboard in Barrhaven and I doubt it’s there for fun.”

Shirley Seward, who represents the zone in Ottawa west, said when her children were in high school, there was a lot of talk from parents who chose to simply do without other things than ask for a subsidized pass.

To implement busing for high school students, staff would need direction from the board by the end of November. The board was set to vote on the issue on Oct. 22.

Pipeline proposal draws critics News - Residents and environmental activists gathered at Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena on Oct. 10 to hear details of the proposed TransCanada Energy East Pipeline project.

If approved, the 4,500-kilometre pipeline will carry nearly one million barrels of crude oil per day from refineries in Alberta and Saskatchewan to Eastern Canada.

A portion of the pipeline will pass just west of Stittsville and is now a twin natural gas pipeline. Under the TransCanada proposal it will become both a natural gas pipeline and a crude oil pipeline.

TransCanada must hold consultations with all individuals, groups and agencies affected by the project before submitting a formal application to the National Energy Board, the federal agency that regulates interprovincial pipelines.

Amber McCoy of Richmond said she was concerned about how a spill from the pipeline, which would run just west of the village of Richmond, might impact the aquifer and hence her water supply.

She said that she received something of an answer, with the possibility that additional shut off valves might be installed in that area and that TransCanada might establish an emergency

response team close to the area.

Ecology Ottawa and the Council of Canadians and other environmental activist groups sent representatives to protest the proposed pipeline.

Some carried banners warning people about the 3.8 million litre oil spill at the Kalamazoo River in Michigan and volunteers handed out brochures describing the project as the “Energy Waste Pipeline.”

“There’s more to the story than what’s going on inside,” said Andrea Harden-Donahue, energy and climate justice campaigner with the Council of Canadians.

Harden-Donahue was handing out pink information sheets containing various “talking points” countering some of the claims being made by TransCanada about the Energy East pipeline project such as relieving dependence on foreign oil, creating jobs and pipeline safety.

The information sheet stated that “The Council of Canadians opposes the Energy East pipeline” because it would pose a threat to local water supplies, would promote expansion of the tar sands in Alberta and would delay any switch to alternative energy sources.

TransCanada spokesperson Philippe Cannon said that safety is TransCanada’s number one priority and noted that the Energy East pipeline will be monitored on a 24/7 basis.

With any drop in pressure along the pipeline, that area can be isolated in a matter of minutes, he said.

In addition, the valves in the pipeline in that area will shut off automatically if conditions persist, regardless of what action is taken or not taken by the monitoring staff.

In fact, he said that TransCanada has an even better safety record than the 99.99 percent industry-wide safety record for pipelines proclaimed by the

There’s more to the story than what’s going on inside ANDREA HARDEN-DONAHUE

Canadian Energy Pipeline Association.

He said that TransCanada has never had an oil pipeline rupture.

He said that “incidents” do happen and are reported but that they are not spills but rather situations which arise at oil pipeline pumping stations where any spilled oil is contained within the pumping station.

Cannon said that TransCanada invests each year in safety, touting that the company has

the “leading industry record and plans to keep it that way.”

He also explained about the “PIG,” or pipeline investigation gauge, an instrument that uses magnetic technology and sensors to detect any flaws or defects on the inside of a pipeline.

The device is used not only to clean a pipeline but also in situations of a pipeline conversion from natural gas to oil as is being proposed in the Energy East situation. The device is used to travel through the emptied pipeline, checking the pipe centimeter by centimeter.

It can detect any defect or bump in the pipe.

The result is that TransCanada digs up the section of pipe identified by the PIG and either repairs the pipe or replaces it.

Then the pipeline is pressure tested using water before any oil would be transported through it.

Cannon noted that the pipeline being converted to oil from natural gas in the Stittsville area was installed in 2005.

He dismissed concerns that eliminating one of the two current natural gas pipelines running through this right-of-way would impact the future availability and price of natural gas in the Ottawa area.

He said that TransCanada has done all of the calculations and TransCanada will be able to continue to deliver all of the natural gas needed by its customers who distribute it locally.

Transit an essential school service

A

plan to fund bus service for the Ottawa public school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school students is a welcome change to an inequitable system.

The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of the whole approved a plan to provide bus service for an estimated 5,300 eligible high school students last week.

Currently, parents of high school students who attend public schools must pay the costs of their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus passes if they reside inside the urban transit boundary, defined as living within one kilometre of an OC Transpo bus stop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless their school lies outside of it and is more than 3.2 kiolmetres away from their home.

This amounts to nearly $780 per child over a 10month period, which might not seem like much to some, but the cost can be onerous depending on the number of high school-age children and the familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economic circumstances.

While the board offers financial assistance to economically-challenged families, some might be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly an original idea. The English Catholic board already provides bus service for its high school students. The plan is a natural next step for the board to take after combining with the Catholic board to

streamline its bus system under the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

The board is hoping the change will improve attendance at some schools and address an â&#x20AC;&#x153;inequityâ&#x20AC;? caused by the lack of bus service in urban parts of Ottawa.

But the move comes with a $4.2-million price tag, money the board hopes to recoup from the Ministry of Education through upgrading its transit needs from moderate to moderate-to-high.

Until then, the board will dip into other funding sources, such as its capital reserve fund.

Granted, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gamble. Superintendent of facilities Mike Carson said the board is currently overspending its transportation budget by $2.8 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tacking on the cost of bus service for high school students would bring that shortfall to $7 million.

Potentially, the board can expect to receive $6.3 million from the ministry, reducing that deficit to $700,000. If the ministry refuses to upgrade the transportation funding, the board will be forced to either scrap the project or pare down its budget to make financial room.

Really, it all boils down to the question of whether providing busing is a nice-to-have or an essential service for students.

Just another routinely awesome occurrence

I

was in a restaurant the other day and the guy asked me if I wanted anything to drink. Just water, I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesome,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right back with your water.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super,â&#x20AC;? I said.

And then I thought about the conversation.

Was it really awesome that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ordered a glass of water? Was it really super that he was going to bring it?

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms, yes. As the comedian Louis CK puts it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go right to the top shelf with our words now.â&#x20AC;? He has a routine which, if you can stand a few bad words (he goes right to the top shelf with them too), is very funny. Awesome, actually, in comparison with some of the things that are usually described as hilarious.

Speaking of which, he points out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hilariousâ&#x20AC;? is now used to describe almost anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw Bob today.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hilarious.â&#x20AC;?

And he really gets going on the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing,â&#x20AC;? which thankfully I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use to describe the water when it finally arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if Jesus comes down from the sky ... ?â&#x20AC;? he asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you gonna call that? You used â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;amazingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on a basket of chicken wings.â&#x20AC;?

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town guess, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all guilty of it. Maybe it comes from television advertising, which is awash in superlatives. Maybe it comes from sports broadcasting, where every event is spectacular, thrilling and sensational, if it is not tragic, and there is not a moment in any game which cannot be described as crucial.

A couple of weeks ago, Ontario customers lost their Rogers wireless service for several hours, an event that received ample news coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hell,â&#x20AC;? one subscriber said.

Really? What would starvation be like?

Wherever language inflation comes from, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve absorbed it and employ it daily. It probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much harm except, as noted, that when something truly awesome happens we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a word for it we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already used many times.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, October 24, 2013

Swearing is a bit like that too. Those of us who practice it often find that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used the strongest terms possible on some trivial thing like a nail that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go in straight. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing stronger to use on something truly horrible, like Carling Avenue.

Language inflation has sparked some countervailing trends, such as the use of reverse imagery among the hipper segment of the population. Something good is bad. Something really good is sick. But inflation sets in here as well: things are often described as sick when they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bad.

There is also a danger of confusion in the use of this kind of vocabulary. What if the player youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re describing as bad really is bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, bad-bad as opposed to bad-good? How do you differentiate? What if somebody is sick-ill, as opposed to sick-bad-good? It could take a while to figure out if a doctor is needed.

You can see what amazing thoughts can follow from a simple glass of water in a restaurant. Another way of approaching the situation is through the use of understatement.

You hear this often in reference to athletes and musicians. Among jazz musicians, the supreme compliment that can be bestowed on another is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can play.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, because it leaves a lot in

reserve, in case she can really play. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure it can be applied in all situations. For example, could I have said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can pourâ&#x20AC;? when the server brought the water?

And later, when the server asks the table how the meal is, could you say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can cook,â&#x20AC;? rather than: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is awesomeâ&#x20AC;??

These days, it could be perceived as an insult. Which brings us back to the original situation: the ordering of the water. Could you get away with a simple thank-you, or is that being rude?

These are incredible problems, you have to admit.

Throne speech â&#x20AC;&#x201C; short on substance, big on rhetoric BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse summer recess triggered by Harper, yet again, proroguing Parliament a few months ago, Canadians (well, politics-watchers) were waiting, in anticipation for something good.

The government must have needed the extra recess time to come up with something truly innovative, right?

They must have needed the extra time to tackle some of those really tough issues like pork-barrelling in the senate and health care and consumer debt.

But no. Instead of addressing many of the serious and long-term threats to our economy and collective well-being, the speech read more like a shopping list of disparate campaign topics. Forget healthcare, the

environment and Aboriginal people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these things are not uber-important to our government. But cable bundling and cell phone fees, these short-term wedge issues are sure to get votes. And these are now topping the list of our governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities.

The speech employed some lovely rhetoric, sure to please almost every Canadian. Delivered by Governor General David Johnston it was filled with distinctly partisan, but ultra-pleasing language â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised he agreed to read it at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians work hard for their moneyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian families work hard to make ends meet.â&#x20AC;? But then again, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like hardworking families?

Another pleaser was the

promise to reduce red tape in government, particularly at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like CRA dealings to be less cumbersome? And yet this empty promise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; largely immeasurable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will unlikely amount to anything but a few converts to the Conservative fold.

They bragged yet again about the cutting the GST by two percentage points, a move that most economists see as one of the most costly political moves the Conservatives have ever made.

Following the budget release in March, the Parliamentary budget officer reported that every percentage point cut had cost the government $7 billion per year since 2006.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of lost revenue.

They boasted about creating jobs for Canadians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no mention of the fact that most of the jobs created in Canada over the past five years have been low-paying, part-time positions, mostly in the service sector.

And never mind that older

workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those over 55 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are now displacing young people in the labour force or that job growth still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to match the growth in the labour force.

Sadly, for all the hoopla, the speech was so typical of our democratic institutions these days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; short on sub-

Take comfort knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed to get you a really great deal on your next cell phone contract

stance and long on rhetoric.

But then, anyone who can read between lines can see this speech wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much about resetting the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda as it was about the next election.

It was, clearly, a speech

designed to woo votes, focused on short-term solutions to real or imaginary problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ones that really, you know, get peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goats.

I assure you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provided politicians are trustworthy and keep their words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got at least two years before we head to the polls again to elect members of Parliament.

Expect to see more of those Conservative Party blue placards in the meantime.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry too hard about the government using your tax dollars to campaign between elections, though.

Take comfort knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed to get you a really great deal on your next cell phone contract.

But perhaps Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being too harsh. There was one line in the speech that offered a ring of authenticity: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know families are better placed to make spending decisions than governments.â&#x20AC;? Based on what the speech told us about the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impending priorities, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely true.

fter the hoopla around this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throne speech, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be forgiven for thinking thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a federal election around the corner.

The flashy banner ads featuring distinctly Conservative Party blue; images of hardworking Canadian families seeking respite by an unidentified body of water; a group shot of people dressed in doctor uniforms, hardhats and carrying briefcases. Not to mention the Economic Action Plan signs still slapped over every government website and construction project.

Think about the cost to the taxpayer for these ads for a single-day event that gets more free media than any other in the country, with the exception of, perhaps, the Stanley Cup playoffs. It was enough to make me regurgitate my leftover turkey sandwich.

Action Sandy Hill petition calling for on-campus housing Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - Action Sandy Hill wants student housing to stay on campus and has created a petition calling for the University of Ottawa to follow suit.

The community association is concerned about a planned 165-bed student residence slated for a lot on Henderson Avenue, as well as a proposal

that calls for a roughly 750bed residence within a 10 minute walk of the campus.

The petition, posted on ipetitions.com, calls on the university to “develop new student residences on their Main Campus west of King Edward Avenue and/or their Lees Avenue Campus, and to refrain from any further development in Sandy Hill.”

The petition has collected 239 signatures as of Oct. 17.

Action Sandy Hill has been increasingly vocal about the practice of converting homes into student housing.

While the association couldn’t be reached for comment, its website states the rationale behind the petition.

“The University of Ottawa has grown by more than 15,000 full-time students in the past dozen years.

In that time it has added fewer than 300 residence

beds.”

The association points to its 2007 decision to support the mixed-use rezoning of the east side of King Edward Avenue, which was being pushed by the university, in exchange for Henderson Avenue retaining its residential zoning.

Recent plans to convert a vacant church and retirement home into student-friendly housing, as well as the conversion of several private homes,

is also listed as a causal factor.

A development application filed with the city in late September concerns a mixed-use, nine-storey student residence building proposed for the corner of Laurier Avenue and Friel Street.

The applicant, Viner Assets, Inc., wants the collection of lots to accommodate a “purpose-built student residence,” with would contain

retail space, a fitness centre and a student amenity area on the ground floor.

At 180 units, the proposal -if approved and built -- would address some of the need of the university’s expanding student body, but not completely alleviate it.

This means more developments would be needed to accommodate the student body growth.

The Ottawa Furyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new NASL team will play their first games in the North American Soccer League at Carleton University next year.

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa Fury FC will move into a temporary home as players await the major rebuild of Lansdowne Park to be completed.

Carleton University will host the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring 2014 North American Soccer League games at Keith Harris Stadium, just off Bronson Avenue.

The 10-game spring season runs from April 5 to June 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at Carleton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before the league

takes mid-season break for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Construction at Lansdowne is scheduled to be finished in time for the fall season; a 20game stretch that runs from July 19 to Nov. 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fans will relish the chance to turn Keith Harris into a cauldron of fan support for Fury FC when NASL soccer arrives in our city,â&#x20AC;? said John Pugh, Fury FC president, in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We promise to field an exciting, competitive team that will provide our fans with en-

tertaining and attractive soccer.â&#x20AC;?

Carleton University is walking distance from the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eventual home on Bank Street.

Last summer, in preparation for varsity football, Carleton renovated Keith Harris Sadium to add more seating, concession stands and a media box. It can now accommodate upwards of 5,000 people.

The team is already taking reservations for season tickets at 613-232-6767 or at capitaltickets.ca.

Transparency & Accountability

NEWS

Connected to your community

On September 25th, I presented my first Private Member’s Bill, entitled Transparency in Members’ Expenses Act 2013 (Bill 108). On October 10th, the bill passed second reading in the Ontario Legislature and has moved to the committee stage.

Increasing financial openness is a commitment that I made to you – honouring that commitment is important to me. I feel very fortunate to have introduced this bill and have it pass second reading in my fifth week in the legislature.

SUBMITTED

Julia Gutsik, centre, recently received an arts and education grant for her dance program Luv 2 Groove.

Kids will get into the groove with grant Jennifer McIntosh

If passed, Bill 108 would legislate quarterly, online posting on the Ontario Legislative Assembly website of all MPPs travel accommodation and hospitality expenses incurred during the course of their duties.

This bill is about transparency and accountability, but it is also about leading by example. As you may know, I began this initiative by posting my own expenses on my website, which I have continued to do on a monthly basis.

You can find more information and track the progress of this Bill at www. johnfraser.onmpp.ca.

News - A Greely woman is hoping Ottawa students get into the groove with a grant from the Ontario Arts Council.

Julia Gutsik said her dance camps at schools follow the Ontario curriculum and the grant for $4,200 will help her offer camps to schools where students might not otherwise be able to afford to participate.

“I have received the grant for the last two years and it is great to be able to offer the program in more places and help kids to get active,” she said.

Gutsik, a dancer for the last 24 years, has a bachelor in dance and kinesiology and went back to school to get her teaching certification before starting her company four years ago.

Gutsik said she mostly works with kids in the primary grades, specifically those in junior and senior kindergarten.

“But I have programs for all kids,” she said.

The course aims to supplement the arts curriculum by providing students with the opportunity to get active with the art of dance. This unit allows students to work directly with one or two dance artists over five days for one hour each day. Students will have the opportunity to learn different styles of dance starting from the ’70 s

GRANTS

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod announced the local 2012-13 grant recipients at Greenfields Pub in Barrhaven on Oct. 5.

Ben Ladouceur, a Barrhaven native, was also selected for a grant.

Ladouceur, who now lives in Toronto, received his second grant for a poetry compilation.

Since he finished his masters degree in aboriginal studies at Carleton, the Canterbury High School grad has dedicated himself to his writing.

He said he has published nine chap books – pamphlet-sized novellas with no bindings – and looks forward to having his first book for sale in stores like Chapters.

He has finished the writing and now plans to continue shopping it to publishing companies.

“It’s a harder sell when you’re talking about poetry,” he said, adding the compilation of works he recently finished were inspired by his study of the First World War. “I also like to write about the queer culture in Toronto,” Ladouceur said.

Ladouceur said he’s happy to receive grant money, but writing full time still isn’t an option.

“I am going back to school to learn teaching English as a second language,” he said.

“I think supplementing my writing with tutor is the best option I can hope for.”

While he continues to work on his craft, Ladouceur said he wants to help break down some of the cultural mystification surrounding poetry.

“When I am doing readings in public I am cognizant of the fact that some people are as into it, so I try and warm people up,” he said. “I think poetry is the perfect thing to read on the bus or the subway but a lot of people don’t see it that way.”

Barrhaven pop singer Mandia Nanstios, who performed during the announcement, also received grant money, along with: • Craig Conoley • Nicolas di Gaetano • Anna Fahr • Dipna Horra • Yaovi Hoyi • Heather Anne Menzies • James Ransom • Capital Brassworks • The Feathertale Review • Theatre 4.669 Over the last year, $112,319 in grants was allocated to professional artists and arts organizations in Nepean-Carleton.

Rules to make infill homes smaller Laura Mueller

through to the 21st century. It also includes disco, breakdance, new jack swing and other popular dances. Over the five days, students learn choreography, creation, and improvisation.

News - The city wants to make infill homes in old neighbourhoods smaller – without changing how many people can live there.

Reducing the height of storeys in new infill homes in the city’s urban area is one of the changes city planners are hoping to make to ease the intensification of downtown and post-war neighbourhoods. The proposed changes were presented at a community information session in Sandy Hill on Oct. 15.

In an effort to combat new homes dwarfing neighbouring dwellings, the city will reduce the height of three-storey houses in R3 zones from 12 and 11 metres to 10 metres.

Homes in denser R4 zones would shrink to 10 and 8.5 metres from the currently allowed 11 and 9.5 metres. In less dense single-fam-

ily home neighbourhoods, which have R1 zoning, the height would drop from 11 to 8.5 metres. The change would mean lower ceilings and shorter storeys – three metres – but not fewer storeys. The building code calls for each storey to be 2.6 m in height.

“We are trying to accomplish a better fit within the permitted uses,” said Alain Miguelez, program manager of intensification and zoning. “At least the mass is closer.” The old height limits were an artifact of amalgamation, said Steve Gauthier, the planner leading the infill study. The city simply took all of the building heights permitted in zones from the formers municipality and adopted their average as the rule for Ottawa. Another change would prohibit balcony or staircases from projecting into the space required for side or backyards.

This will be accomplished by changing how the city defines “setbacks,” the technical term for creating yards. For small lots

of less than 15 m deep, the backyard must be the same as the height of the building or four metres – whichever is larger. Previously, the rules allowed developers to choose the smaller yard option.

The calculation is less straightforward for larger lots. For lots between 15 and 29 m deep, the backyard setback must be the larger of either the building’s height or 25 per cent of the lot depth. Lots between 30 and 45 m would have to have rear-yard setbacks of the largest of the height of the building, 25 per cent of the lot depth or the lot depth minus 22.5 m from the front lot line.

There are still two information sessions left: • Thursday, Oct. 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Glebe Community Centre main hall, 175 Third Ave. • Monday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Nepean Sportsplex Hall C, 1701 Woodroffe Ave.

Somerset House to get a new life Partially collapsed heritage building to be restored Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A decrepit building that’s blighted the corner of Somerset and Bank streets for six years is set to get a new life.

The historic Somerset House, which partially collapsed during extensive renovations in 2007, will be rebuilt with its heritage components intact and a new, modern addition at its rear to replace the part that collapsed. That twostorey addition will provide another entranceway at the northeast corner of the building. That’s where steel bracing has held up the remaining SUBMITTED/DEREK CRAIN ARCHITECT walls of the building since the The partially collapsed Somerset House, which has been described as an “eyesore” held collapse.

Sally Coutts, a heritage up by metal bracing since 2007, will finally be restored.

planner with the city, said the project’s architect Derek Crain will preserve the heritage details like the windows, lintels and all the exterior detail work that makes the building one of Centretown’s iconic buildings.

“This is an accurate restoration,” she said.

The Somerset House is a good example of an early 20th century commercial building in the Queen Anne Revival style, according to a report to the city’s built heritage subcommittee. It was built in two phases, the first section between 1900-02 and an addition was added in 1912.

Members of the subcommittee were pleased to see the plan presented, as was Heritage Ottawa president Leslie

Maitland.

“Would like to thank all of you for turning the corner on a very important building,” she told the committee.

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes echoed support also expressed by local merchant and community groups. The reinstatement of the building – and especially its heritage features – at the important corner will greatly improve the area, Holmes said.

City and provincial policies encourage additions to heritage buildings to be designed in a contemporary style, like the one proposed for Somerset House. It would add a glass and brick box-shaped addition that’s smaller than the original building at the back of the Somerset House.

Popcorn fundraiser helps youth learn important life skills Scouts will see six per cent of their total sales that year, and each year going forward, invested in an account for their post-secondary education expenses. Since the program began in 1995, 827 Scouts have been enrolled in the scholarship program.

Additionally, proceeds from the fundraiser go back to local Scouting to help pay for items and activities which enhance the Scouting experience, such as camping equipment and national and international trips.

“We are grateful for the Canadians from coast to coast to coast that have supported Scouts Canada through Scout Popcorn,” said Andrew Price, chief commissioner for Scouts Canada.

“Their support of the program goes a long way in helping us enhance local Scouting programs and provide children and youth opportunities to benefit their future.”

Community - Kids heading back to school, leaves changing colours and cooler evenings all mark the change in season.

But for Scouts Canada, the arrival of fall means it is time for children and youth to learn important life skills and strive to earn scholarship money. Over the next few months, tens of thousands of Scouts across the country will participate in Scout Popcorn, Scouts Canada’s national fundraiser, along the way they will learn important life skills, gain scholarship money and raise funds for local Scouting programs.

Through the Scouts Popcorn program, youth cultivate valuable business skills such as financial responsibility, marketing strategy development, time management skills, and in the process, develop confidence and positive self-esteem.

Scouts who raise $2,500 or more will also become eligible for a scholarship fund. These

News - As life changes, so does the business of dealing with its end, said Kelly Funeral Home general manager John Laframboise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be in the country or small towns people would pull over for a funeral procession,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to recognize.â&#x20AC;?

Daytime running lights on every car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of only on cars linked headed to a cemetery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the lack of a hearse make it difficult to pick out a procession amid the daily commute.

Corrine Lavictoire, president of Professional Processions, said a hearse used to be the most common visual cue of a cortege,

but with more and more people opting for cremation instead of burial, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the need to have the larger vehicle available for the casket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lead car is typically a sedan,â&#x20AC;? Laframboise said, adding police escorts to help mourners get to their destination have become an unaffordable expense for most people.

Enter the Professional Procession emblem.

The markers, made to look like banners or flags on the front hood or side-view mirrors of the procession cars, have a white cross with the word funeral superimposed over a purple background.

Lavictoire said the idea came from a funeral home that had come to her with a problem.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were having trouble even getting out of their own parking lot,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we sat down and brainstormed.â&#x20AC;?

Laframboise said that a few years ago there was a campaign to have a flashing purple light â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to ones used by snowplows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sit on top of the lead car in a procession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well publicized though and never really went anywhere,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lavictoire said with society moving at such a fast pace, we lose some of the tradition and ceremony that once went with a funeral. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to validate life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And making the procession recognizable allows drivers to pause and give quiet respect.â&#x20AC;?

I hope to see you and your neighbours at next week’s information session to discuss new, low-rise infill housing construction in your community. Earlier this year, I worked with the Deputy City Manager of Planning & Infrastructure to add our Ward to the Second Stage of Low-Rise Infill Housing Study.

Previously, this study was confined to the urban core.

Stage II of the study is focusing on ways to regulate height, massing and rear and side setbacks to ensure compatibility with established neighbourhoods.

The Westboro Village BIA’s third annual Wickedly Westboro event takes place along the Richmond Road strip from Oct. 26 to 31.

Intensification should make a positive contribution to the character and quality of our neighbourhoods.

Your input is important and I welcome you to share your experience related to new, low-rise housing construction. Are there specific developments or properties you would like to discuss?

BIA. Known for carving the likeness of famous works of art into the flesh of pumpkins – including Edvard Munch’s The Scream – Evan (the duo’s founder) was the winner of the Food Network’s 2012 “Halloween Wars.”

Thorne said both Even and Soria have extensive artistic backgrounds and plan to meet with Ottawa’s uniquely talented ice carvers while they are in the city. Their presence will add a bit of wow to the kickoff day of Wickedly Westboro, she said, which is what the organization was hoping for.

“We’ll be auctioning off two of the extreme pumpkins at the market that day, one at noon, and another other at 2 p.m.,” said Thorne, adding that the weekend of Oct. 26 and 27 will be the last of the season for the farmers market.

Not content to just show off their skills at the farmers market, the two extreme carvers will spend the day prior to the kickoff mentoring students from the Algonquin College School of Hospitality and Tourism.

The opening day will also feature a community-wide scavenger hunt, food and drink from participating restaurants, and myriad activities (and treat bags) for kids. Children are encouraged to dress in costume.

Shop owners and restaurateurs along Richmond will take part in the week-long celebration by carving their own pumpkins to be placed in their businesses’ windows. The Wickedly Westboro Pumpkin Stroll invites the public to judge the pumpkins while out for a walk, with the winners announced on Nov. 7.

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean DRAFT TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN HIGHLIGHTS FOR WARD 22 As many residents may be aware, the City of Ottawa has released its draft 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The TMP is the City’s blueprint for planning and developing major infrastructure projects to the year 2031.

The new TMP is highlighted by the second stage of rail projects extending to the east, west and south ends of the City adding 35 kilometres of new rail and 19 new stations that would reduce travel times, improve productivity, and attract new riders.

Some of the main highlights in the draft TMP that would impact residents in Ward 22 include the extension of the O-Train further south including the implementation of additional stations at South Keys, Leitrim Road, and Bowesville Drive which would be part of an expanded Riverside South community. Rail will also be extended toward the Southwest Transitway with a new station at Baseline and Algonquin College. There will also be significant road infrastructure projects including intersection enhancements along Prince of Wales of Drive, Jockvale Road upgrades, Greenbank Road extension, Chapman Mills Drive extension, Airport Parkway upgrades and Bank Street upgrades leading up to 2031.

With the transit and transportation opportunities created by the StrandherdArmstrong Bridge, Barrhaven, Riverside South and Findlay Creek residents will have convenient access to transit on the Southeast and Southwest rapid transit systems.

2014 BUDGET CONSULTATIONS The City of Ottawa will be holding four bilingual public consultations throughout the city on the 2014 Budget in the coming weeks and I would like to encourage residents to come out and participate in this important process.

The South District consultation will take place on Wednesday, October 30th at the Nepean Sportsplex, Hall A, 1701 Woodroffe Avenue, from 7 to 9 pm.

Further information on the 2014 Budget process can be found online at Ottawa.ca/budget2014. To engage the public before budget tabling, a special e-mail address has been created, budget2014@ottawa.ca. Residents are encouraged to make their voices heard and to participate immediately.

All suggestions shared that can be incorporated into the budget will be provided to management before tabling and identified to Council as part of the Draft Budget report.

OTTAWA ROCKS! EXHIBIT On behalf of Mayor Watson, I was pleased to open the Ottawa Rocks! exhibit this past week at the City’s Archives building, 100 Tallwood Drive. I would invite residents to check out the new exhibit as it illustrates the great rock and roll history of Ottawa and provides visitors the opportunity to learn, engage with, and reminisce about the many rock musicians who have played in this city from 1954 to present day.

The exhibit runs until December 31, 2013.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. MONCION I would like to congratulate Mr. Marcel Moncion of Moncion’s Independent Grocer in Riverside South after recently receiving Awards in Merchandising from the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers.

Rotarian Wins Easter Seals Competition The Rotary Club of Ottawa South (RCOS) is proud to announce that our club member Maria Saracino (a local award winning artist in Ottawa) had one of her acrylic illustrations chosen as an Easter Seals Stamp for the 2014 Easter Seals Campaign.

Mariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orange Burstâ&#x20AC;? was chosen through an international art competition from which Easter Seals selected six winning artwork designs to feature on the 2014 Easter Seals Stamps.

The six stamps will also be promoted on their website in a public competition to pick the Easter Seals Stamp of the Year.

Rotarian Maria stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled and grateful to be chosen

by Easter Seals in a medium that goes back to my initial art roots. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to be recognized by Easter Seals knowing that these stamps will raise funds to provide programs and services for people with disabilities.â&#x20AC;? If you would like to share your support for Maria Saracino you can vote for her work on the Easter Seals homepage (easterseals.com), Facebook or Twitter pages after October 24th.

Easter Seals, founded in 1919 by Rotarian Edgar Allen (then called the Society for Crippled Children), provides programs and services to help children and adults with disabilities achieve independence. Since 1934, Easter Seals has been using decorative stamps to raise money and create awareness of its programs. Addressing inadequate resources and support for children with disabilities in Ontario, 10 Rotary clubs in South Western Ontario joined together in 1922 to form the Ontario Society for Crippled Children.

ven at a young age, I was aware of the sameness of all the farm kitchens in Northcote.

There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied.

Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed to rest your head; our couch lay flat and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a mattress on it. Instead, it had several layers of quilts that protected you from the coil springs. This couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns.

Every kitchen had a cook stove.

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Some people just called it simply the range, but Mother called our big lumbering iron stove the Oval.

The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake table. This differed greatly from the big pine table that stretched out to sit at least 12 people when necessary. The bake table was much smaller.

Longer than it was wide, it had a small drawer at one end. Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day.

Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea, because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in

Edgar Allen and Rotary founder Paul Harris were friends who shared a passion for service and volunteerism. Both men had a vision for how to change our world for the better and worked together to achieve it. The Rotary Club of Ottawa South continues that legacy and is an active service club that helps support our local and international community through volunteering, fund raising, bursaries, lending expertise, and so much more.

YOUNGSTERS

It was moved out from the wall and this is where the youngest of us ate our meal, well away from the kitchen table and the company.

The little table could only seat four people, one at each end and one on each side.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on or else our chins would be in our dinner plates.

Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to watch his table manners and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like and put it in his pantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pocket and dispose of it after the meal.

The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, but there was no built in cupboards. Dishes were kept in the back-to-the-wall cupboard and pots and pans either sat on top of the warming closet of the Findlay Oval or stored in it.

The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of flour bag tea towels, neatly folded and ironed, of course.

The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare. Heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain.

Mother kept the bake table spotlessly clean and when company was expected it was wiped with a wet dish cloth whether it needed it or not. Then a little white square table cloth was put on it and -- if one had survived the season -- a bright red geranium plunked down in the middle.

The bake table had another use too: when company overflowed and the old pine table couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold another soul and extra seating was needed, the bake table was put to use.

Future of Oak Street complex vague as Gladstone planning continues Steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The rail vision laid out in the city’s latest (and yet to be approved) transportation master plan includes a new OTrain stop at Gladstone Avenue, which is both positive and concerning for local residents.

A community design plan process is currently underway for the Gladstone area, aimed at guiding future development on either side of the O-Train line between Gladstone Avenue and Somerset Street. The two CDP processes occurring to the north and south of the area – Carling/Preston and Bayview Yards – both saw the addition of much higher allowable densities given their proximity to transit stations.

Residents living in the mainly low-rise area that makes up the Gladstone CDP know change will come, and with it some benefits and drawbacks, but for the most part oppose what’s been seen at Bayview and Carling.

With the federal Public Works department expected to sell off a large part of its Oak Street warehouse complex in the near future – the large facility that abuts both the O-Train line and the Somerset Street bridge to the north -- land will eventually become available for a mixed-use development on that site. Given the city’s policies on land use, intensification will be a guiding factor for any redevelopment.

Dalhousie Community Association president Michael Powell said the prevailing fear is that prospective developers will

use the proximity of the planned Gladstone station as a rationale for seeking building heights far and above what is currently allowed under R4 zoning, which works out to about four storeys.

“Obviously there will be higher density on the Public Works site than in the surrounding neighbourhood, but what that change will look like needs to be clarified,” said Powell.

“The answer always seems to be highrises and I don’t think

The answer always seems to be highrises and I don’t think that is something many want to see MICHAEL POWELL

that is something many want to see.”

Powell also expressed concern about road access into the site, citing “talk” of a road bridge over the O-Train tracks to facilitate access to and from the west.

“We don’t think that’s appropriate,” he said, adding that the dead-end side streets west of Preston are part of what makes the neighbourhood successful, due to the pedestrian and childfriendly nature of low-volume,

low-speed streets.

The Gladstone CDP is in its early stages, with a public open house held Oct. 15 bringing residents up to speed on the process. At the meeting, planners working on the file displayed the main points expressed by the public and technical advisory groups working on the process.

Those groups are made up of citizens and community stakeholders, as well as professional staff from public agencies.

The findings emerging from initial consultation show strong support for maintaining the small-scale fabric of buildings along Preston and its side streets, while intensifying vacant lots and sectioning off larger lots into smaller parcels for redevelopment. Adding diversity to the area in terms of retail type, dwelling type and dwelling prices was also mentioned.

Reflecting Powell’s sentiment, the advisory groups found “not much appetite for towers along the O-Train track.”

In their view, higher densities – whatever form that might take – should be placed furthest away from existing residential areas.

Dana Collings, a program manager in the city’s community planning and urban design branch, acknowledges the feelings expressed by nearby residents.

“We’re hearing from residents on the smaller streets saying they don’t want a lot of change,” said Collings. “The Public Works lands are a large lot, which raises a lot of questions. How do you break that down, how do you put in streets

The bake table was the perfect place, when we hosted the Saturday night house party, for the eleven quart baskets of sandwiches and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches and the maple icing on the slab cakes.

Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine. She once said pine rhymed with poverty. I was too young to know the meaning behind the comment.

Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it and do some mending or she would spread out the Philadelphia

… and what kind of uses do you put in there?”

Collings said that mixeduse zoning allows a range of uses, adding that the city will probably look at establishing a “minimum threshold of intensity” after consulting on what that threshold should be.

That said, he stressed that the process is still in its early stages, with a draft concept and vision not expected until later in November, following a second PAG meeting and design workshop.

Approval of a final plan for the area is slated for June of next year.

Britannia United Church marks 140 years of change, community Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

Community – To say the Britannia community has changed a bit since 1873 would be a ridiculous understatement.

While the population, built form and demographics are vastly different than 140 years ago, a strong sense of community remains, especially inside the area’s oldest church.

Celebrating its 140th anniversary this year, Britannia United Church, located at 985 Pinecrest Rd., started life as a Methodist congregation, with the original structure located at present-day Carling Avenue and Britannia Road. The church is planning a retrospective during a special anniversary service on the morning of Oct. 27.

“There’s been a lot of change in the community since the little church on the hill started,” said Minister Jim Baldwin.

“We keep the past up front and look to it to see what works, and carry that with us… On the 27th, we’re going to be looking forward. We’re saying, ‘yes, we know the past, but how do we as a church and congregation move forward?’”

In 1873, the population of Ottawa was about 23,000 people, clustered mainly in the Centretown and Lowertown areas.

A vast gulf of mainly agricultural

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Britannia United Church is marking its 140th anniversary with a special service on Oct. 27. land separated Britannia from the growing city to the east.

In 1899, a streetcar line connected the area, including the popular Britannia Beach, with the city proper.

The gulf steadily shrank as the city reached out to meet, then surround, the community.

The current church was constructed in 1960 – the same year its minis-

ter was born – once the congregation had raised enough money to build the beginnings of the structure.

Starting first with the fellowship hall, more sanctuary and community space was added on as budgets allowed.

During the Oct. 27 service three congregation members, of widely differing ages, will reflect on what

the church means to them.

Britannia United has bucked the trend of dwindling, aging congregations by heading in the opposite direction, attracting new members (and increasing numbers of young ones) by changing with the times, much like the surrounding community, while remaining rooted in inclusivity. Each week an average of 160 to 180 congregation members show up.

“When I came to the church (13 years ago), our oldest committee member said that if you want to survive as a church, you need to change,” said Baldwin.

“That’s been my mantra.”

In 1977, the church was made fully wheelchair accessible, heralding the many changes aimed at inclusivity that were to follow.

Knowing that acceptance, tolerance and love, coupled with a supportive community, lead to positive outcomes for gay youth, the church placed universally-recognized rainbow flags outside the hall last year, next to the church’s sign.

Those flags began disappearing, so Baldwin had the rainbow incorporated into the sign and logo for the church itself, preventing tampering.

Among the congregation are a growing number of LGBT residents, as well as a growing African demographic.

Baldwin wants the church to be accepted as part of the community,

and wants it to reflect the diverse community that surrounds it.

“It’s important to have a place where kids feel they belong, and where they get to see a cross-section of life,” said Baldwin.

“The issues may have changed, but the welcome you’ll receive is the same.”

GARDEN

As part of the 140th anniversary celebrations, members are raising funds to add landscaping and a flower bed along the north side of the property.

The Quarter-Quarter Mile Fundraiser is seeking to raise a quarter mile of quarters, totaling $3,960.

Intended as a legacy project, the church has so far raised more than a third of this sum.

Baldwin said that given the congregation’s continued commitment to practicing good stewardship with its funds, the church retains the original look.

The big fellowship hall that was once planned didn’t come to fruition, as the church felt its money could be put to better use in the community.

“It’s built like a shoebox, and looks like a school,” admitted Baldwin.

“Before we had the sign put in, we’d have people drive into the parking lot, asking where the church was.”

The game was part of United Way Day, an annual event that this year brought 14 teams to St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven for a football jamboree in support of United Way. The games count toward the regular season, but teams are asked to fundraise before the game. Organizer Scott Broadhurst said each year the event raises about $600 for the charity.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, October 24, 2013

News - A paltry two per cent of Presto card users take advantage of the auto-reload feature – a figure OC Transpo would like to improve.

“Some changes are being leveraged and some are not,” said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. “We need to think of the customer experience from end to end.”

The city has handed out 175,000 of the cards it distributed for free to promote the new fare system, but only 121,000 of them are actively being used, Manconi said.

OC Transpo also wants to improve on the low numbers of people taking advantage of features like monthly pass auto-reload, automatic top-ups for the “e-purse” cash balance when the balance is getting low.

Auto-reload is one of the major features intended to make things easier for riders because they won’t have to wait in line at an OC Transpo service centre to buy next month’s pass – it can be done online, and automatically. Automating the process is supposed to lead to fewer and shorter lineups and less strain on OC Transpo’s services.

The launch of Ottawa’s Presto system was delayed last year after being plagued with technical issues.

Now, the major complaint from users is the 24 to 24-hour delay between when they manually reload their balance or renew monthly pass online and when it will be recognized by the Presto system when they tap their pass on a bus.

Manconi re-iterated that OC Transpo is working with Presto’s

parent agency, Metrolinx, to shrink that time window. A four-hour delay is the target, but Manconi couldn’t say when that might happen.

That’s because Metrolinx is currently working on upgrades to make the Presto system compatible across all the municipalities that use it, including the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton. Making too many big changes to the system all at once could make it prone to crashing, so the 24-to-48-hour delay issue might have to wait until that’s done.

That change might come by the end of the year, but neither Manconi nor Metrolinx official Rob Hollis would commit to a firm timeline.

SEPARATE PARA SYSTEM

After being blasted by accessibility advocates for neglecting to include the Presto system on accessible Para Transpo vans, OC Transpo has decided to implement a separate electronic fare system.

The customized system will provide people with disabilities with an electronic tool to book and pay for trips on 91 Para Transpo mini-buses the city operates.

If riders want to pay for trips individually, they will have to use the Para Purse feature for Para Transpo and switch to Presto’s e-purse, tickets or cash on conventional transit.

However, Para Transpo will begin accepting Presto cards as a monthly pass if the rider can show the printed receipt verifying a pass was purchased.

It will also offer printed receipts so users can claim tax credits for eligible trips.

News - City councillors wrested back control over noise exemptions for large construction projects after city staff asked them to give up that authority.

Taylor said council has approved a lot of large city-building projects, so he could see the rationale for the proposed changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There does seem to be a need for a more fluid process for these exemptions,â&#x20AC;? the Bay Ward councillor said.

But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli blasted the changes, saying they would be similar to â&#x20AC;&#x153;streamliningâ&#x20AC;? the city tried to undertake for the siteplan process several years ago. Councillors approved the change thinking theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be kept in the loop when staff approved a plan, he said, but now their offices are only being told a couple days before site plans are approved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The notification around this place has dwindled to the point when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just in time,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantasyâ&#x20AC;? to think the city hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dealt with construction on this scale before, Chiarelli said, and the real issue is removing the ability for communities and councillors to have input into noise exemptions.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said approvals for noise exemptions should rest with councillors to keep them accountable to their constituents.

Noise exemptions for other reasons, such as concerts and special events, would follow the existing process.

Welcome to Maplewood Retirement

Bylaw chief Linda Anderson proposed changes that would have seen her staff sign off to allow late-night noise on major city construction projects that have a large impact on roads and traffic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as large private construction projects that could impact city streets and services, like the Rideau Centre expansion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents understand that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessary evil,â&#x20AC;?

Anderson said, adding that bylaw services doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a lot of complaints about construction noise.

The city already allows exemptions to the noise bylaw when the work is deemed critical or urgent, such as the continuous pouring of concrete through the night at Lansdowne. But those cases required the approval of the wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s councillor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something Anderson wanted to forgo. Instead, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community and protective services committee decided to keep the requirement for the councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent. If the councillor disagrees, the matter would be brought to city council for a decision. There are still some restrictions on how loud the noise could be and how long it could continue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for not more than eight hours in a single day and not for durations of more than 11 days in a row.

Homes for the Holidays just around the corner!

by Robert Greenslade The eleventh annual Homes for the Holidays tour on November 15, 16 and 17, is only days away and anticipation is building for this very special event. The tour, now its eleventh year, supports end-of-life care programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, including those at the May Court Hospice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homes for the Holidays will help us improve hospice services in Ottawa and reach our goal of increasing the number of area beds,â&#x20AC;? noted Lisa Sullivan, Executive Director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The tour is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features six outstanding homes in the neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park, Rothwell Heights, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Island Park Drive.

Prominent area florists and designers will volunteer their decorating skills to the homes: three reflecting a specific seasonal theme (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day) and three highlighting the festive spirit of the holidays. For example,104 Black Maple Private features a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very Special Christmas Eveâ&#x20AC;?. This home is one of a collection of six elegant residences on the street. Mood Moss Florist and Jacobsons Gourmet Concepts combine their decorating talents to this home.

Another Rockcliffe Park home, the residence of the Swiss Ambassador to Canada (494 Lansdowne Road North), is a stately French Château-style home, decorated for the tour

by Tivoli Florist. This house was acquired by the Government of Switzerland in 1948 and enjoys frontage on picturesque McKay Lake.

Striking 13 Massey Lane in Rothwell Heights is decorated by Stoneblossom Floral Gallery. The home features mature trees and is notable for its cedar shingles, copper roof accents and front canopy.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Morning Wonderâ&#x20AC;? (Tinseltown offers the Christmas decorative magic here) awaits visitors to 8 Thornton Avenue, just steps from bustling Bank Street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to note that the homeowner and her father worked closely to design the exterior and interior of this sun-drenched home.

A relatively new home, designed by Barry Hobin and decorated by Mill Street Florist, 900 Colonel By Driveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stucco and stone exterior gives way to a light and airy interior and preserves ties to its past by retaining the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150-year-old stone wall.

And visitors will not want to miss 512 Island Park Drive, decorated by Michael Courdin Design, for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve Celebrationâ&#x20AC;?! This contemporary home features many windows which give the house a strong connection to the outdoors.

Participants will also want to visit the completely revamped Holiday PopUp Shop, this year located at the Official Residence of the Irish Ambassador (291 Park Road). Visitors will be able to get a head start on their holiday shopping and browse the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corner, affordable artwork, jewellery, seasonal dĂŠcor, and delicious preserves prepared by some of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top food purveyors (and visitors can pause for a coffee or tea too). And the best news is you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go far for tickets! Tickets are available at 25 outlets across the city and via PayPal too.

Oh, the humanity Community - The inaugural Zombie Run for Humanity drew some nasty looking undead to the former Nepean national equestrian park on Corkstown Road on Oct. 19.

The park’s fenced pathways and dark, creepy woods made it hard for runners and walkers to avoid lurking zombies who

grabbed at the three flags worn by each of the participants. Losing all three flags meant runners and walkers became part of the undead at the finish line.

More than 300 people took part in the morning’s events, a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity-National Capital Region.

In top hat and tails, zombie Mike Pang of Riverside South presents a challenging obstacle for runners just before the zombie run’s finish line. The maggots on his face added a nice touch.

Zombies to take over Bank Street Ghoulish promotion lets â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win big Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alarmed when if you see the walking dead shambling down Bank Street this Halloween â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your best interests to become their victims.

A new promotional event being created by the Bank Street Business Improvement Area will see volunteer zombies handing out lanyards to their victims, each of which contain a barcode that puts people in the running for

three grand prizes. Each barcode has the potential to open one of three prize-ďŹ lled cofďŹ ns laid out at La Prep, on the corner of Bank and Cooper streets.

Occurring from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 31, the festive promotion is part of the newly rebranded BIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outsidethe-box marketing strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Zombie) recruitment has been great,â&#x20AC;? said BIA executive director Christine Leadman, adding the group has partnered with members of Capital Pride for the promotion. Leadman has headed the

Bank Street BIA since September after serving as the director of the Glebe BIA. Inside the three cofďŹ ns, which will be opened on Oct. 31, will be gift certiďŹ cates in the amounts of $500, $1,000 and $1,500, redeemable at Bank Street businesses.

Even the barcodes that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unlock the prize cofďŹ ns will still provide the zombieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victims with special offers from participating BIA members.

Earlier this year, the BIA launched a rebranding initiative to bring a new look and

heightened visibility to Centretownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bank Street strip.

In addition to a new logo and slogan, the initiative sought to renew storefronts and sidewalks, while pursuing innovative seasonal promotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the start of the rebranding,â&#x20AC;? said Leadman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The direction of our board was that they wanted to see new activities, and experiment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; try it, see what happens and get involved.â&#x20AC;?

Leadman said the businesses operating along that stretch of Bank have always

been a community, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt like that over the past while.â&#x20AC;?

The BIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new approach aims to change that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With more activities, people will see that Bank Street is moving in another direction,â&#x20AC;? said Leadman.

The group is excited that a yet-unnamed, high-end clothes store will soon be moving into a vacant storefront along the strip and are encouraged by developments in the long-running Somerset House saga.

The vacant former hotel

and pub, the site of a partial building collapse several years ago, could see redevelopment in the near future, something Leadman said canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come soon enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that will be a big boost for the street,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been an eyesore.

I think the owner is keen to move forward.â&#x20AC;?

While Halloween has yet to pass, the BIA is already looking towards the Christmas season, with a Bank Street gift card program expected to come into effect in November.

! % 0 9 o T p U e v Sa Trick or Treat with the Mayor Downtown residents try to wrap heads around Liveable Ottawa Series of info sessions intended to help people understand plans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - More than 100 residents flowed through city hall and attempted to wrap their heads around a clutch of long-term plans outlining the development, transportation and infrastructure plans for the next 20 years.

The city held the first of a series of public information sessions on the Liveable Ottawa initiative – an effort to concurrently update the three major master plans that govern how the city grows up to 2031: the Official Plan, transportation master plan (including plans for cycling and pedestrian routes) and the infrastructure master plan for water and sewer works.

“We’re just trying to figure it out,” said Michel-Adrien Sheppard, who leads the transportation committee of the Centretown Citizens Community Association. “There is so much detail and so many components that fit together.

“How do we find our place in this complicated document?” he said.

Sheppard said after pouring through the documents and a sea of poster boards during the Oct. 15 information session, he and the other

community association members were pleased with what they saw.

“They seem to touch all the subjects,” he said. “It’s well put together … Their philosophy and vision seems good to me.”

The group was looking for things like pedestrian safety measures, cycling routes and “complete streets” that provide for all modes of transportation that help residents get around their neighbourhood.

Those components were all there, Sheppard said, but his question now is whether, how and when those ideas would be implemented.

Sheppard would also like to see more frequent reporting on pedestrian safety and better monitoring and action on dangerous intersections.

The Centretown community association knows intensification will continue to densify its neighbourhood, which is preferable to allowing homes to be built in places like the greenbelt, Sheppard said.

Intensification was also on John Forsey’s mind. While the plan sounds great, said the former Manor Park Community Association president, it can fall down when specific developments are proposed.

“The plan makes sense. It’s just a matter of pressure from individual developers,” he said.

Another Centretown resident, Michael Lambert, was more concerned about something outside his neighbourhood.

Airport transit link a trade-off Continued from page 35

The glaring omission overriding his assessment of the plans was the lack of a light-rail link to the airport.

“If Ottawa wants to become a world-class city, the airport needs to be on the main transit line,” Lambert said, noting that larger cities like Toronto and Vancouver are making it a priority to link their rail lines to airports.

While he understands the rail spur would have an additional cost, he’s not sure how much it would be.

But he is convinced the upper levels of government would be interested in kicking in some funding to send light rail to the airport.

Forsey was also contemplating transit to the airport. He’s been following the plans and is especially interested in transit, having sat on an advisory group for the first phase of light rail – the Confederation Line.

He sees the missing airport link as a tradeoff between being able to afford transit for residents who commute and visitors to the city.

“If you did that, you’d have to give up something else,” he said.

Hans Moor, president of local bicycle advocacy group Citizens for Safe Cycling, was also on hand to praise the plan. Moor, who grew up in the Netherlands, said the city’s cycling vision is based strongly on ideas successfully implemented in his home country.

“The plan is good,” he said.

Adding bike lanes that help people get to light-rail transit stations will boost both cycling and transit use, Moor said.

He also applauded the city’s recognition that 40 per cent of trips by all modes are between points within a neighbourhood, so the city’s plan includes bicycle lanes and pathways to make those trip safer.

The idea is to encourage people to make those trips to local destinations by bike, even if they live in the suburbs.

“People say ‘I am not going to hop on a bike and cycle downtown,’ but they can still cycle to their Starbucks or library,” Moor said.

NEWS NOTICE OF COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Carp Snow Disposal Facility Background In January 2012, the City of Ottawa initiated a study to establish a new snow disposal facility in the City’s west end. The City’s strategic snow disposal plan (2002) had identified the need to provide for 308,000 m3 of disposal capacity within one or more snow disposal facilities in the west end. This MCEA study was conducted as a Schedule B project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended 2011, an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Process Public Open House (POH#1) was held in February 2013 to present the problem definition. Public Open House # 2 was held August 6th 2013 to present the results of the various site investigations undertaken during 2012/2013 to characterize the site and the environment; identify the alternative designs and mitigative measures being evaluated; and describe the recommended preferred design/solution. Both POHs were held at the Goulbourn Municipal Building Council Chambers at 2135 Huntley Road, Ottawa ON. Information presented at the POHs is available on the City of Ottawa website (see below for link).

The recommended solution involves the development of a snow disposal facility (SDF) on a 23.4ha property located at civic address 2125 Carp Road that can accommodate approximately 350,000 m3 of snow collected from Kanata and nearby areas. The SDF development will include a 1-2ha meltwater pond to treat the runoff from the snow melt and a 4-5ha stormwater pond to treat storm water from on-site and off-site sources. Several mitigative measures have been proposed to minimize impacts from the SDF development and include a right-turn deceleration lane along Westbrook road, improving drainage beneath Westbrook Road, construction of a berm along the east property limit to mitigate noise, landscaping along the east and north limits for visual screening, and a liner beneath the meltwater pond and its outlet to protect groundwater quality.

Comments received from the POHs and from the agency circulation, the public and other participants have been incorporated into the final report. All comments received were collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, and have become part of the public record.

Youth using flavoured tobacco at high levels Canadian Cancer Society calls for ban Community - New data released from the national Youth Smoking Survey show that a very high number of high school students are using flavoured tobacco products.

More than half (52 per cent) of high school students in Canada who used tobacco products in the previous 30 days had used flavoured tobacco products. Fruit- and candy-flavoured tobacco makes it easier for youth to become addicted to tobacco.

“These survey results clearly show there is an urgent and compelling need for federal and provincial governments to ban all flavoured tobacco products,” says Rob Cunningham of the Canadian Cancer Society. “Swift action is needed to protect youth from these products. It is essential that governments introduce new legislation without delay.”

The federal Tobacco Act prohibits flavours (except menthol) in cigarettes, cigarillos (little cigars) and blunt wraps. However, cigarillos are defined as cigars weighing 1.4 grams or less or having a cigarette filter. Many tobacco com-

panies have avoided this definition by increasing the weight to more than 1.4 grams, which allows them to continue to add flavours to the product.

In Canada, many categories of tobacco products remain heavily flavoured and are not prohibited by federal legislation, including cigarillos (weighing more than 1.4 grams), water pipe tobacco, smokeless tobacco and menthol cigarettes. Flavours include chocolate, mint, cherry, peach, strawberry, and other fruit and candy flavours that are appealing to youth.

The Youth Smoking Survey found that among high school students: • 14 per cent had smoked cigarettes in the previous 30 days.

• 20 per cent had used a tobacco product in the previous 30 days.

• 10 per cent had used a flavoured tobacco product (including menthol cigarettes) in the previous 30 days.

This new information about the high popularity of menthol cigarettes among youth contrasts with a low level of popularity among adults, with men-

thol cigarettes representing only 4 per cent of all cigarettes sold to adults in Canada.

“Menthol cigarettes make it easier for young people to smoke and get addicted and must also be banned,” says Cunningham.

Menthol was exempted from federal legislation because at the time data were not available about the prevalence of youth smoking menthol cigarettes.

“With this new data clearly showing that many young people are smoking menthol products, the menthol loophole must be closed,” says Cunningham.

The Youth Smoking Survey is conducted every two years.

The most recent survey results are from the survey conducted between October 2010 and June 2011 with 50,949 students participating across Canada.

For 75 years the Canadian Cancer Society has been relentless in its commitment to prevent cancer, fund research and support Canadians touched by cancer. Visit cancer.ca or call 1-888-939-3333.

Food ground zero for Canada’s Earn Extra Money! most challenging issues: report Keep Your Weekends Free!

Community - Food is at the epicenter of our nation’s most pressing issues – from poverty and poor health, to the environment and economy – and communities need to make these critical connections so Canadians can mobilize more effectively, says a new report from Community Foundations of Canada.

“Our most challenging problems are landing at kitchen tables across Canada,” said CFC presi-

Canadians are already driving change locally on many different fronts IAN BIRD

dent Ian Bird. “Food is the intersection point, the place where we all feel the impact of these big issues in a very personal way.

“Canadians are already driving change locally on many different fronts. From community food centres and farmers’ markets, to healthier snacks in schools, and restaurateurs with 100-mile menus, we are transforming our relationship with food. But we need to see the whole picture to have the impact we want.”

Fertile Ground: Sowing the Seeds of Change

in Canada’s Food System includes these key findings: • Fighting the symptoms isn’t working. The principal cause of hunger is poverty. For 30 years communities have been responding to hunger with food banks and other strategies, but food bank usage shows no signs of slowing down.

Combine this with food prices that are rising at nearly twice the rate of the consumer price index and it’s clear that this problem won’t be solved with food donations alone.

• Our choices are hurting our health. There are now more obese people than undernourished people in the world and here at home more than three in five Canadian adults are overweight or obese; type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in Canada.

• Taking a toll on our environment. Feeding the world’s population has led to massive changes in agriculture over the past century. The practices we’ve developed to build a more efficient food system are having a major impact on our environment. Greenhouse gas emissions directly related to animal and crop production alone accounted for 8.1 per cent of total 2009 emissions for Canada.

• Canadians are driving change. Canada’s organic sector has experienced double-digit annual growth in production and retail sales over the past decade. Farmers’ markets are reporting more than $1 billion in annual sales.

Canada sixth in exports, imports Continued from page 41

Young farmer enterprises are performing better than other farms in Canada. The signs are all around us: Canadians are taking local food matters into their own hands. How can we build on the momentum?

Canada has the potential to be a leader on the world stage. We are the sixth-largest exporter and importer of agriculture and agri-food products in the world. Relative to other countries, we enjoy some of the lowest food costs in the world. Our “food movement” is gaining momentum rapidly, making the timing perfect for greater collaboration and impact.

For CFC’s part, the organization will be 1) convening national groups working in the food space to determine opportunities for shared

action and engagement, 2) sharing the Fertile Ground report at gatherings across the country and providing information and tools to all 191 community foundations across Canada and 3) will highlight the issues related to food at the inaugural Community Knowledge Exchange Summit in Toronto in early November 2014, an event that’s part of a new iterative and multistakeholder approach to building and sharing community knowledge.

Vital Signs is an annual community checkup conducted by community foundations across Canada. It provides a comprehensive, readerfriendly look at how our communities are faring in key quality-of-life areas.

City proclaims October as Children’s Vision Month Community - Ottawa has recognized October as Children’s Vision Month.

Together with local doctors of optometry, the proclamation will help raise awareness that children’s vision problems affect learning and development, and prevent children from reaching their full potential, says Dr. Paul Geneau, president of the Canadian Association of Optometrists.

“Parents cannot determine if their children see well because when a child has a vision problem they have no point of comparison, so accept the way they see as normal,” says Dr. Kirsten North, an Ontario doctor of optometry.

“Many parents aren’t aware that a comprehensive

eye exam can make a real difference in how well their child performs at school.”

The need for public awareness is very real.

A recent survey by the Canadian Association of Optometrists reports that 61 per cent of Canadian parents mistakenly believe they would know if their child was having difficulty with their eyesight.

However, many serious eye conditions do not have obvious symptoms and some eye diseases only show symptoms when the condition is advanced and difficult, or even impossible, to treat.

ONE IN FOUR

“We

want

parents

to

be aware that one in four school-aged children has a vision problem,” says North.

“We appreciate the mayor and council of Ottawa helping us educate parents on how vision and eye health problems can be detected and managed at an early age.

We want parents to know an optometric eye exam provides the full assurance of vision and eye health.”

Doctors of optometry recommend infants have their first eye examination between six and nine months of age.

Children should have at least one eye exam between the ages of two and five, and yearly after starting school to ensure optimal vision and development.

Children’s Vision Month is centered on school aged children, between ages the ages of three and 12 and will focus on four specific message pillars: • An eye exam by a doctor of optometry can assess the quality of a child’s vision and their overall eye health (20/20 vision does not equal healthy eyes).

• Parents cannot determine if their children have healthy eyes.

• Vision problems affect learning and development and prevent children from reaching their full potential.

• Trust your child’s glasses to a doctor of optometry.

Although an eye exam by a doctor of optometry can assess your child’s vision an eye health, be alert for

symptoms that could indicate your child has a visual problem. Your child may not realize they have a vision problem – they may simply assume everyone sees the way they do. A vision-related problem may cause any of the symptoms described below: • Headaches or irritability • Avoidance of near or distance work • Covering or rubbing of the eyes • Tilting the head or unusual posture • Using a finger to maintain place while reading • Losing place while reading • Omitting or confusing small words when reading • Performing below their potential.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, October 24, 2013

Community - The cost of dropping out of secondary school science and math courses is significantly high for Canada, according to a new research report released

by Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk Science.

The high cost of dropping science and math highlights three costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; financial, opportunity and societal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that hinder Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy as a result of disengagement of students in senior level science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses.

Every year Canada spends $50 billion on kindergarten to Grade 12 education yet less than 50 per cent of Canadian high school students graduate with senior STEM courses.

Given that approximately 70 per cent of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top jobs require STEM education, a number that is expected continue to grow, this is an alarming statistic.

As jobs of the future demand education in these courses, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic well-being, quality of life and

ability to remain competitive with peer countries is put at risk. It is important to ensure that our funds are being directed to preparing todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth for tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, especially when Canada commits almost six per cent of GDP toward education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada must focus on building a strong STEM talent pool with the skills to contribute to our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longterm prosperity,â&#x20AC;? says Bonnie Schmidt, president of Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk Science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately these skills lie in at least some form of science literacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to inform our youth of the importance of STEM courses for their future careers, engage them in experiential science learning from an early age, and sustain their interest in science throughout their studies. This will take collaborative effort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; educators, parents, youth, industry, non-profit organizations and government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to ensure Canada has a bright future ahead.â&#x20AC;?

The 2013 research report outlines the costs associated

with high school students dropping out of senior level STEM courses: Financial costs to students, parents, taxpayers and high schools when students go back and retake STEM courses. Not only does it cost millions, but it delays studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; postsecondary plans.

Opportunity costs associated with lost job options and future earnings. Students are often late in discovering that their future career requires a background in at least one STEM course. This amounts to a loss of talent pool on the job market, and affects studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; earning potential as, on average, people in STEM fields earn 26 per cent more.

This fall, Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk Science and Amgen Canada are taking science on the road and visiting high school students across Canada to demonstrate the value of science in everyday life and for jobs of the future.

New discoveries for cancer risk Researchers worldwide take part in scientific consortium Community - Hundreds of researchers from North America, Europe, Australia and Asia have joined together in a consortium to identify the genetic basis of the five most common forms of cancer: breast, prostate, lung, ovarian and colorectal.

The group, called the OncoArray Consortium, developed a new customized genotyping tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the OncoArray â&#x20AC;&#x201C; manufactured by the U.S. genomics firm Illumina.

Professor Christopher Amos, the leader of the lung cancer consortium said genotyping will be carried out on more than 425,000 samples from patients with one of the five types of cancer and control subjects from around the world. The OncoArray Consortiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is expected to provide insight into the

inherited genetic basis of cancer and help scientists understand the underlying biology of cancer.

About 200 studies are involved in this project and nearly 50 countries participate in the consortium.

Breast cancer samples will represent more than one-third of the samples under analysis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest number of samples ever used for research into the genetic basis of breast cancer risk,â&#x20AC;? said UniversitĂŠ Laval professor Jacques Simard, who works at the Genomics Centre of the CHU de QuĂŠbec Research Centre, and chair holder of the Canada Research Chair in Oncogenetics.

QuĂŠbec is at the forefront of this study, since the results will be used for a QuĂŠ-

bec-based project aiming to improve the early detection of breast cancer, an initiative funded by GĂŠnome QuĂŠbec, Genome Canada, the CIHR and the QuĂŠbec Breast Cancer Foundation.

Leading efforts in prostate cancer are Brian Henderson and Ros Eeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OncoArray will provide fresh clues to the origin of these cancers and will hasten novel approaches to prevention and treatment,â&#x20AC;?

Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year 220,000 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and there are 30,000 deaths. This indicates many people are being treated who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it. We hope this product will help us focus on the men who have the highest risk to the more fatal forms of this disease.â&#x20AC;?

What does future hold for business women in Canadian workplace?

Randstad Canada launches 2nd edition of Women Shaping Business Program Community - Randstad Canada has launched the second edition of its Women Shaping Business Program, aimed at exploring the challenges and opportunities for today’s Canadian women in the workplace.

A nationwide survey in collaboration with Ipsos Reid polled over 500 female executives and managers. The survey asked women how they feel the country has progressed toward more equal workplaces, and about the opportunities and challenges that exist in the country’s corporate culture.

Preliminary results from the survey show that equality between men and women in the workplace has progressed, but corporate Canada still has a long way to go.

“While we see in the research that women feel there will be more opportunities

for them to obtain managerial and executive positions, some challenges remain, whether related to compensation, worklife balance, or mentorship,” says Gina Ibghy of Randstad Canada. In addition to the survey, Randstad Canada had also launched the Women Shaping Business Award, designed to recognize women leaders who are impacting workplaces and communities around the country. Canadians are asked to share stories of female leaders who have impacted their businesses and communities.

One women nominated will be awarded as 2013’s Women Shaping Business, with the nominee of the winner being awarded $10,000 to donate to a charity of their choosing.

More information on the Award nomination process can be found at the new campaign site www.womenshapingbusi-

ness.com.

The full report based on the findings of the study can be found at www.womenshapingbusiness.com. The site includes real stories about women leaders, research on the state of female employment in regions Canada and articles about the differences in legislation and the availability of child care.

“We want executives, employees and all Canadians to have an open discussion about the place of business women in the Canadian workplace. In order to attract the top talent and truly promote gender diversity in more senior roles, it will be important for Canadian employers to support, develop and promote women leaders, and demonstrate how their career opportunities are as attractive for women as they are to men,” says Ibghy.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions

POIROT ID# A065422

Poirot is a seven-year-old, black domestic short hair cat who loves cheek rubs. He was surrendered to the Ottawa Humane Society in July and is now available for adoption at one of our Pet Adoption Locations, Chew-That Pet Food, located at 665 Earl Armstrong Rd. Poirot is a particular cat looking for loving, patient owners who will accept him just the way he is. From his distinguished mustache to his love for big fluffy blankets to lie on, this cat truly is one-of-akind. Poirot is looking for a home with older teens and adults who understand that he doesn’t like to be picked up. He would love to be the only feline in your life as he loves to have all the attention and all the toys to himself.

Poirot is neutered, microchipped, vet checked and his adoption includes six weeks of pet insurance!

Visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption.

Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Spook-tacular Halloween pet safety tips

Here is Ti-Loup, the little 12 pounds king of the house. He is 1.5 year old Cotton de Tulear, a not so common breed originating from Madagascar. Don’t be fooled by its size, he can make any big dog runs flat before and stop running. He is definitely a great companion to have in the house and the perfect heater for a warm and cozy movie in the baseman. Of course, the movie is the perfect opportunity to brush him which can take more time than the movie itself...

become easily excited and difficult to handle during the noise and commotion of the festivities. If they get loose, they may dart into traffic or become lost. It’s best to keep pets indoors in a separate room of the house so they don’t slip out when the door is opened. It’s especially important to keep black cats indoors during the period around the holiday, as they may be the target of pranksters.

Make sure your pets are properly identified. In the event of an accidental escape, a collar, tag and microchip are your best bet your animal will make it home. Frequently-opened doors provide a great opportunity for animals, especially cats, to run out of the house unnoticed.

Don’t dress your pet in a costume unless you know he enjoys it. A costume can cause stress and injury to pets if it restricts their

movement, hearing or ability to breathe, bark or see. Small dangling pieces may be chewed off and cause choking or intestinal obstruction. Never leave your costumed pets unsupervised.

Use decorations with caution.

Keep your pets away from lit pumpkins and electrical cords to avoid shocks and burns.

If you observe an animal in immediate distress or danger at Halloween or any time, please contact the OHS emergency services at 613-725-1532.

For some spook-tacular Halloween fun, don’t forget to stop by the OHS, located at 245 West hunt Club Rd. on Sunday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a howl of a good time at our Howl-o-ween open house with special fun and activities for kids! For more information, please visit our website at www.ottawahumane.ca/howloween

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

While Halloween can be frighteningly fun for families, the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) is reminding pet owners that this holiday may be too scary and potentially dangerous for your pet.

The OHS recommends taking these precautions to help keep pets safe this Halloween: Keep candy out of your pet’s reach. Chocolate can be toxic to many animals including dogs, cats and ferrets. Halloween candies containing the artificial sweetener Xylitol can also be poisonous to dogs and may lead to loss of co-ordination and seizures.

Make sure not to leave candy wrappers on the ground; if ingested, they can become obstructions in your pet’s digestive system and can cause severe complications.

Keep pets safely indoors while trick-or-treating. Dogs can
