News – A volunteer driving service wants to ensure residents get home safely this holiday season. Operation Red Nose launched its third-annual campaign on Nov. 22 at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre, and this year aims to attract nearly 300 volunteers to answer the phones and drive residents back to their homes. Brian Patterson of the Ontario Safety League told city officials and the community gathered there will be approximately 5,000 people from across the province volunteering to drive their neighbours, friends, and colleagues home. “In 11 communities, it’s resulted in one number that’s important to us: zero,” he said. “This year we are shooting for zero casualties, zero crashes during the Operation Red Nose season. We have been able to achieve this for the last five years in every jurisdiction, which tells me that the media, the awareness and the information that comes out gets people focused and thinking.” Whether feeling unwell, the result of drinking, or due to fatigue, volunteers are dispatched to pick up the resident and drive them home. Last year, the organization worked 10 evenings, with 592 volunteers dispatched, 395 calls answered, 17,963 kilometres travelled, and $10,883 raised for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. Taylor, who is also chair of the community and protective services committee, encouraged residents to volunteer for the service. He had the opportunity last year to visit some of the volunteers and hear their stories on what motivated them to help out. See VOLUNTEERS, page 3

Community sends aid to Philippines 73 boxes packed at community centre, ready to ship overseas Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Riverside South is helping families rebuild after a devastating typhoon damaged parts of the Philippines earlier this month. The community added itself to the growing list of relief efforts currently underway. As Jennifer Vollrath, a resident and one of the organizers of the initiative explained, it was initially envisioned as a very small event head-

quartered in her living room, but as word spread, the community stepped up in a short amount of time. “Happy is an understatement,” she said. “The generousity of this community has been overwhelming.” On Nov. 20, the community came out in droves to pack up 73 boxes of clothes, food, and basic necessities for families in the gymnasium of Rideauview Community Centre. Individuals or families were asked to sponsor each box at a cost of $75, which covers the cost of shipping. The remaining boxes were piled into a truck Nov. 24. Vollrath spearheaded the fundraiser alongside fellow community residents and friends Heather Harper Boswell and Filipino native Gina

Galang. “Each box represents a person,” said Vollrath. “It’s all about families being tied together. They were given a family’s name, with a list of what was needed, so it’s really a gift from one family to another. And the great thing about it is if the family doesn’t need an item in the box, they can give it to another family who does need it.” A map was uploaded to a Facebook group and distributed to donors to show where their box would be heading. “It’s really a neat way for them to see that they’re box is actually getting there,” she said.

“They’ve never met these people, so it’s special for them to help them out.” A master list of families in need was identified thanks to the Ottawa Filipino community. Work then began to match the families together. The grassroots effort was supposed to start in Vollrath’s house, but quickly grew over time after an overwhelming response from the community. “It’s definitely been the residents who have helped make this happen,”

said Galang. Vollrath has been involved in relief efforts before, having sent aid over to the Philippines before when a typhoon hit several years ago. As an aspiring independent filmmaker, she saw first-hand the effects of the storm on the country. Witnessing the incredible amount of supplies residents brought in last Thursday just shows how much communities around the world support each other, she said. The boxes are scheduled to arrive in the Philippines in early February, depending on local access.

during the 10-day campaign, he said. This year, they’re looking to increase the numbers to 300. “Whether it’s driving your own car, driving someone else’s car, getting them there by navigating or even helping out in headquarters taking calls, or by participating in events, there’s a job for everyone,” he said. At the end of the campaign, a donation will be made to their charity partner, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, van Vlaanderen said. They hope to raise more than $11,000 this year towards the charity. All operating costs are funded through sponsorships.

“Some of them had a personal connection, others just wanted to look for something to do and give back to their community,” said Taylor. “Whatever the reason that brought them there, it’s wonderful that they came, and we’re counting on them again this year. “The number shows a true commitment of the residents of our city to our city.” Operation Red Nose strives for the same goals as that of the Safer Roads Ottawa, a program approved by Ottawa city council in 2011, said Mayor Jim Watson said. The program aims to combine all the efforts of the city’s internal departments, including Ottawa police, fire, paramedic, public health and public works departments. “As well, we have directed staff to engage and support our partners in the community who are involved with safety. Our goal is to make the city of Ottawa the safest municipality in all of Canada when it comes to road safety.” The funding for Operation Red Nose comes through the Safer Roads Ottawa program. Although volunteers ensure residents get home safely, there are still accidents involving impaired driving, said Watson. “Statistics over the last five years remind us that although we have achieved tremendous success at lowering the rates of impaired driving, there is still much work to do,” said Watson. Over the last five years, 1,786 collisions related to impaired driving have taken place, with 776 people injured and 238 killed. “I encourage you to think about your responsibility to get home safely,” he said.

Executive director Dave Van Vlaanderen said it was gratifying to see the kind of support they have in Ottawa. “Active volunteers and the contributions from the community is what has kept the organization growing,” he said. Operation Red Nose Ottawa has improved a few key assets of its program this year, he said. First, a new service featuring an integrated information technology system will push information out faster to smartphones, he said, and secondly their website has also been improved to make for a more user-friendly experience. They hope to see more volunteers participate in this year’s campaign, he said. Last year, there were 220 volunteers who each had at least one shift

Riverside South looks to revamp strategic plan in new year Association in desperate need of more volunteers says president Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - A new strategic plan needs to be created to keep the Riverside South Community Association healthy and growing, said its new president. At the community’s annual general meeting on Nov. 21, newly elected president Chris Hill said the year ahead will be a period of renewal for the organization. Attracting more volunteers to help the association host popular community events is the main area the organization will focus on in 2014. “As a priority, we are going to focus our efforts on renewing our volunteer base,� he said. Over the past few years, the number of volunteers de-

creased significantly, Hill added, and because of this, the association has had to rely heavily on a few people to do the work. This type of model is not working for the community association, which is a unified voice for the community on all types of city issues, Hill said. Now it’s up to the new executive to find ways to interest the community in volunteering, as well as sprucing up the types of events the association holds. “We need people to step forward, either to volunteer on the executive or to help in supporting our events and initiatives like Canada Day, the Christmas breakfast, or ice rink maintenance,� he said. “In many ways, the success of this year and our success as

an executive will be measured by the extent to which we are able to recruit and train volunteers.� The association will be measuring that success, he promised. “As our community grows and changes, the community association has to grow and evolve with it,� he said. The size of the community and the limitations of volunteers have made the association rethink their association rules, including stopping paid memberships in favour of a revised free lifetime membership program, he said. The reason behind this is in large part due to the generousity and support of local businesses. See VOLUNTEERS, page 5 R0012360306

Volunteers key to efforts of community association Continued from page 4

We will look this year to better define our relationship with the business community,� Hill said. The change in membership will open the door for more residents and families to be included in their community association, he added. The association will meet as an executive in early December following the Christmas breakfast to address these challenges. He encouraged the community to keep on volunteering for events and activities,

rides on Nov. 30, starting at 5:30 p.m. The rides are free for Santa breakfast attendees and association members, and $5 for non-member families. A complete registration form is available on www.riversidesouth.org. Sleigh rides depart from the community centre and go along Shoreline Drive and visit nearby streets to see some of the houses decorated for Christmas. Some of these homes may also be participating in the annual Christmas lighting competition. For more information on the association, please visit www.riversidesouth.org.

and for those interested, to join in. A few events coming up where volunteers are needed including the annual pancake breakfast with Santa at the Rideauview Community Centre on Nov. 30. The breakfast will have two sittings, one at 9 a.m. and one at 10:35 a.m. The association is partnering with Toy Mountain again this year, and calls on residents to bring an unwrapped gift for the region’s less fortunate children. Following the pancake breakfast with Santa, the association is offering sleigh

CHEO introducing new, electronic form of health care Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - One patient, one record, one epic journey. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario announced on Nov. 20 the start of a new era of health record keeping for patients and their families. The innovative technology will see the conversion of more than two million laboratory records into electronic form. Epic, a software program, is the technology that will forever change the way the hospital delivers its health records. The massive undertaking is the first phase of a long-awaited project, said the hospital’s president and CEO, Alex Munter. CHEO has selected Epic as the software vendor for its integrated electronic health record. Epic is a technology company focusing exclusively on the healthcare sector – providing software to respected hospitals and health systems around the world. CHEO is creating a new integrated electronic health record where all areas of the hospital will use the same paperless technology for patient records. This practice has been success-

On hand at the groundbreaking announcement was, from left, Richard C. Alvarez president and chief executive officer of Canada Health Infoway, Ross and Sandra Wallace, Camryn Wallace (patient), Minister of Health Rona Ambrose, president and CEO of CHEO Alex Munter, and Dr. Jim King, CHEO’s medical director of informatics. fully completed at hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins Hospital, and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Minister of Health Rona Ambrose was at the announcement to mark the occasion and speak of the project.

“It was great to see first-hand the progress that has been made in electronic health records here at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario,� said Ambrose. “What I have seen is proof of how innovation in technology can improve the delivery of health

care for children and their families.� With patient information kept in one place, CHEO’s health professionals will have the opportunity to reach that information more easily, said Munter. “This is going to improve the both the quality of information

and the quality of patient care,� he said. “This will result in more efficiency and more efficient care, and higher quality care, and will allow everyone to be linked and interconnected.� As the hospital shifts away from paper and goes to electronic filing, the costs families incur on a regular basis will also decrease, he said. “Electronic health records is one of the ways we are keeping our eyes on the ball,� said Munter. Test results, for example, will allow families to gain quicker access to the information, and simultaneously, put them at ease. CHEO is also preparing for the future. “There will be 70,000 more kids in our community 20 years from now than there are today – we need to continue to innovate to help kids and families be their healthiest,� said Munter. CHEO will then be able to share this information with other colleagues in the community faster, and reduce the number of times families need to visit the hospital. In the first phase, now up and running, CHEO deployed the technology in its laboratories and in the first group of out-patient clinics. Canada Health Infoway will contribute up to $2.8 million of CHEO’s overall $7.7 million budget to support the project.

CHEO takes home hardware for top pediatric care Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario was named last week as the top hospital in Ontario for pediatric inpatient satisfaction according to a patient ratings report. The report, released last week, was completed by the National Research Corporation Canada/Ontario Hospital Association. The report, completed by the Ontario Hospital Association and National Research Council Canada, was based on patients who had an inpatient stay or emergency department visit between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012. CHEO president and CEO Alex Munter said the good news is a reflection of the diligent and consistent work of hospital staff and the parents of many children. “We really are the voice of patients and their families,” said Munter. “With 26 hospitals in Ontario being ranked … these are great institutions to be ranked with.” “We are accountable to our own patients, so this ranking comes as a compliment of CHEO people.” Munter said not a day goes by

where he doesn’t see the generousity and dedication of staff. “Every day just reminds us in so many different ways how staff and patients really make CHEO what it is,” he said. CHEO had the highest ranking in overall satisfaction with inpatient care, according to a survey filled out by patients and parents. “This is just the beginning. CHEOnext, our strategic plan, focuses on providing an exceptional experience for every patient and family,” said Munter. “CHEO’s aim is to go from really good to really great by engaging patients and parents in every facet of care, listening to their feedback and using it to continuously improve.” CHEO is the second largest hospital in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network and one of only a few stand-alone pediatric hospitals in Canada. Last year CHEO treated 6,245 children and youth, with more than 2,500 doctors working around the clock to provide care. The full report can be found at www.nationalresearch.ca/researchand-resources/reports.

Tunnel study not worth money

D

espite the best intentions of Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, studying the possibility of digging a tunnel underneath Lowertown from the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge to Highway 417 is no way to solve the problem of heavy trucks moving through the city core. Fleury recently put forward a motion calling for the city to raise the subject of a study with the provincial government, asking Queen’s Park to split the estimated $750,000 cost. This latest plan to address Lowertown truck traffic follows the collapse of National Capital Commission plans to establish a site in the city’s east end for an interprovincial bridge. That collapse was triggered by the Ontario government, which withdrew support for the NCC bridge study shortly after the Kettle Island corridor was revealed as the technically preferred route across the Ottawa River. With an estimated cost of $1.6 billion, a bridge at Kettle Island was never going to be an inexpensive prospect. But for the money, a bridge is a far better way to solve the truck problem. The first thing to consider would be how the cost of a tunnel would be divided. Since it would only be constructed on the Ontario side of the river, the Quebec government and city of Gatineau would

be under no obligation to contribute to the project. While Fleury points to this as an advantage -- fewer compromises would need to be made to satisfy fewer political interests -- it does no service to Ontario taxpayers as they would bear the burden while Quebeckers get better access to the 417. Another problem with the tunnel is it wouldn’t necessarily take all the trucks off the surface streets of Lowertown. Any tunnel to the 417 would be about two kilometres in length, making it longer than tunnels such as the Windsor-Detroit tunnel, the George Massey Tunnel in British Columbia and the LouisHippolyte Lafontaine Bridge-Tunnel in Quebec, each of which have restrictions on the transportation of dangerous goods. While the province would have to determine such restrictions for an Ottawa tunnel, it is unlikely dangerous goods would be allowed in the tunnel. And while the cost of a tunnel might be lower than a bridge, it would not offer the same potential economic boost a new crossing in the east end of the city would provide. Rather than looking at a tunnel, Fleury should be encouraging the province to help consider a more politically palatable location for a bridge, perhaps further east. The problem of truck traffic needs to be solved, but a tunnel doesn’t really fit the bill.

How’s this for radical thinking: streets without cars

D

riving on a downtown Toronto street on a Saturday night, I along with hundreds of other drivers, was trying to cope with construction zones that thrived even into the dark hours. Each block brought new lane closures, new temptations to swerve suddenly in one direction or another to find open space. Not many Toronto drivers are able to resist temptation, and I was tempted myself. At one point I pondered a swerve into the right-hand lane. Just as I decided against it, a bicyclist materialized from my right-hand blind spot and sped past. He wore dark clothing and no helmet. His bicycle had no lights. He was a dead man if I had made that lane change and it was only blind luck that I didn’t. Many opportunities for sermonizing arise from this incident. You could rant about unsafe cyclists, or impatient motorists or the out-of-control condo boom that has turned so many streets into accidents waiting to happen. You could get into the whole share-the-road argument again. You could even utter dark thoughts about Toronto. But it’s not about Toronto. Take a little spin along Queen Street in Ottawa tomorrow and think ahead. Until the light-rail construction is completed much of downtown Ottawa is

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town going to be an accident waiting to happen and it won’t much matter to the victims who’s at fault. This compounds the difficulties of a society in which there are already too many cars, a growing number of bicycles, way too many distractions and a stubborn sense of entitlement on the part of the owners of both kinds of vehicles. Then, for a good chunk of the year, you can add in winter. Anybody who thinks these difficulties can be avoided by adding a few bike lanes here and there is dreaming. There is a need for radical thinking. Cars and bicycles will be with us forever, and in greater numbers. Construction is inevitable, and mostly necessary. The need to separate cyclists and motorists for the safety of each increases each day.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, November 28, 2013

While it is possible to sympathize with those who call for the re-education of drivers and cyclists, especially drivers, that’s a slow process. Too slow. And some people are never going to get it. So, maybe instead of thinking in terms of bicycle lanes we should be thinking in terms of bicycle streets. There’s separation for you. Select a downtown street and take the cars right off it. Bicyclists would thank you. So would motorists, who don’t like to contend with bicyclists any more than bicyclists like to contend with motorists. Who would object? Not motorists and cyclists. Downtown merchants, maybe. They’ve had a lot to put up with in recent years and this is one more. But in the long run anything that makes getting downtown easier and more pleasant is in their best interests. Those located along the designated bicycle street will learn that cyclists spend money too. Partly because of fitness concerns, partly because of hard economic times, there are more bicyclists on the streets. And there will be even more in the future. Since downtown is in turmoil anyway, this is the perfect time for radical experimentation. Next on the agenda is finding a safer way for cyclists to get downtown, as well as to

suburban busy spots. Yes, there are some bicycle paths and these are well-used, but there are still bicyclists on Carling Avenue and Scott Street and other overcrowded and sometimes narrow arterials. These, in addition to bringing a shudder to anyone who sees them, demonstrate that there is a need for safer alternatives. So maybe add in a bicycle-only arterial or two. Not many, but at least a couple. I know. Think of the adjustments that would be necessary. But you know, as a city we’re adjusting all the time, and we can handle it.

How much do you spend on food every week?

F

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse per week. (They admit to eating out more frequently, entertaining and not buying in bulk). Some people shared the intimate details of their grocery budget with me. I have to say, happy as I was to receive meal plans and receipts by email, after questioning some of their habits and purchases, I’m skeptical that everyone is accurately tracking their grocery spend. It’s the $80 in hot school lunches, the $40 per month in takeout and the $52 per month on school milk programs that aren’t often included in the budget. All these things add up. Whatever people are spending, it seems families across the board – and single people and seniors, too – are feeling the crunch of ever-inflating food costs. There are a

This goes for coffee, convenience store candies and lunch-onthe-run. Remember the latte factor? David Bach coined the term in his book, Finish Rich. A lot of people scoff at spending $4 per day on coffee. But it’s not just coffee – the latte factor refers to spending you don’t think about, and how much money you could not only save, but invest. It adds up. Pack a lunch. If you’re a family on a budget, the simplest way to save money is to avoid eating out. That means everyone. I know there is a militant camp of busy families that love the hot lunches offered weekly at most schools. Add up the cost over a month or a year and decide if it’s really worth blowing the budget. If you have time on your hands, try a few of these: bake lunch snacks from scratch; cook large portions of soup and casseroles

it’s worth paying extra to buy your favourite foods at the grocery store to make sure you’re going to eat what’s in the fridge. Finally, pay cash for everything and track your spending. You really don’t know how much you’re spending until you track every penny. With grocery, it will probably take a year of tracking before we really know our average spend, because I realized I have a tendency to hoard – stocking the pantry, buying meat on sale for the freezer. One thing I do know – despite my perceived frugality – our new goal is to spend far less than we are currently, especially with Christmas around the corner.

An article regarding relaxed rules for widening suburban driveways contained incorrect information. The city will continue to allow driveways in the outer suburbs to take up 50 per cent of the front-yard width, but adding a provision to allow driveways to be located in front of the main home will allow more homeowners to take advantage of the 50 per cent driveway width they are already entitled to.

inancial literacy month is over. Did you take some time to think about how you’re spending money? I did. For eight weeks, I diligently tracked every food and grocery receipt on our calendar. I have to tell you I was shocked to discover – when taking into account every grocery store trip, convenience store milk purchase, bakery run, takeout order, meal out, school pizza or milk order, drive-thru coffee and spontaneous purchase while waiting to fill a prescription, we spend approximately 25 per cent of our net income on groceries and food. And that doesn’t even count trips to the LCBO! I asked around to gauge what others were spending. Numbers ranged from $150 per week for a family of five; $230 per week for an extended family of seven; and as high as $250 per week for a family of six. Some of my single and coupled friends are actually spending more per capita – close to $100 per person

Brookfield raises funds for Operation Veteran To the editor,

Friday, Nov. 8, was a busy day at Brookfield High School. The day began with a pancake breakfast, the proceeds of which went to Operation Veteran. Operation Veteran is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Paul Kavanagh from Laval, Que. in association

with the Canadian War Museum. Its purpose is to raise funds across Canada to provide veterans a meal in the Mess, the War Museum’s cafeteria. The meal is a tangible way of thanking veterans for the sacrifices they made in the past, as well as for the day to day support they show the Museum, often providing hours of volunteer service in

the museum itself. Additionally, the organization helps fund the development of online modules about diplomacy and peace-keeping that are used by teachers of Canadian history as a way to encourage young people to become familiar with Canada’s military history and the essential role played by our veterans. The pancake breakfast was

organized by Brookfield’s students’ council. With the breakfast, students were able to raise more than $1,650 to contribute to Operation Veteran. Last year’s donation to the same cause came to $1,500. Parents, as well as the community at large, were invited to participate and the support given by the business community was overwhelming. Denny’s South Keys restaurant contributed the pancake mix that was responsible for the delicious pancakes that were so appreciated by all and also we would like to thank Jeff and his staff at the South Keys Roots location for their support. Other businesses who make it possible for the exciting door prizes were Tim Hortons, Walmart, Loblaws, Metro, Starbucks, Gabriel Pizza, Bulk Barn, Henry’s, The Brookfielder, Staples, Ventrex, Lids, Champs, Colonnade Pizza and Mucho Burrito. For the sum of $5 each, students and guests received pancakes, fruit and a choice of juice or coffee. A huge thanks goes out to the students’ council and to the

News - Glebe businesses are once again encouraging residents to shop locally with an annual shopping contest. The third annual Glebe Spree campaign was launched by the Glebe Business Improvement Area on Nov. 16, offering people who choose to do their shopping along the section of Bank Street south of the Queensway the chance to win $10,000. “We love being able to reward the people who shop the Glebe,� said BIA chairman Greg Best. “This is an opportunity for our loyal customers as well as new visitors to experience the Glebe and all we have to offer.� The contest will run from now until Dec. 31, providing shoppers with a sticker for every $20 spent at area stores. Participants will use a mini-brochure “passport� to collect the stickers. Once $200 worth of stickers is collected, contestants can enter for a chance to win the

$10,000 prize. Last year, the association made it even easier for people to enter the contest by creating a unique code which could be entered either on the group’s Facebook page or at glebespree.ca. Ballots are also accepted in person. Contestants can fill out the ballots and drop them off at any of the participating businesses. The prize money has been donated by the Glebe BIA and the Scotiabank branch located at Bank Street and Fourth Avenue. This is the third edition of the contest, which was started 2011 to encourage shopping along Bank Street after the city’s extensive reconstruction of the roadway. The contest has seen more than 18,000 entries in the past two years. Glebe resident Will Raymond won the spree in its inaugural year and resident Mary Pal won in 2012. The contest ends on Dec. 31 and the draw date to determine the contest winner will take place on Jan. 6, 2013. Contest details can be found at glebespree.ca.

Para Transpo Accepts PRESTO monthly passes starting December 1

Tammie Winsor points out her book, Jack and the Fairy Dogmother, on the Chapters computer, where the book is being sold. I am pleased to announce that beginning December 1, 2013; It was a lifelong dream come true thanks to a radio contest run by CBC Radio One.

Community – Tammie Winsor has always had a passion for writing. It’s part of the Riverview resident’s day job with the government, but has provided her with the chance to chase a dream: writing a children’s book. With three young children at home, Winsor had the itch to explore a different side of writing after she found the inspiration to write her first children’s book. She was inspired by real-life experiences she shared with her family, which ultimately came out in her book. “Because I had those real life experiences with them, I was able to get the idea for the book and edited it based on my children and their own lives,� she said. The book was a long-time dream come true thanks to a radio contest led by Alan Neal of CBC Radio One, who spearheaded the Hopes and Dreams

make that happen. Writing, she said, is a chance for her escape into another world, to deviate from the ruts life can bring. “You have to be tenacious,� she said of being an author. “You have to be willing to put in the time and effort.� The second book in the series, slated to be called Caveman Jack, was inspired primarily by her son’s

contest in 2012. Winners of the contest would see their goal or dream be fulfilled, if possible. “It’s been on my bucket list for a while,� she said. “It’s still a little surreal.� The contest was also a fundraiser for Shepherd’s of Good Hope. General Store Publishing contacted her soon after her proposal and told her they were interested in publishing her book, Jack and the Fairy Dogmother. “Everyone was so enthusiastic about it,� she said. The idea for the book was inspired by a pet dalmatian she had when she was younger, and the story revolves around a young boy who receives the dog as a birthday present. Writing a children’s book allowed Winsor to tap into her creative side. “It gave me the chance to exaggerate some parts of the book, to be a little silly,� she said. Winsor said she is hoping the book becomes a series, and is not stopping at anything to

Rideau Centre facade gets approval from NCC board Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new façade proposed for the Rideau Centre has been granted approval by the National Capital Commission. Cadillac Fairview, owner of the downtown shopping centre, proposed changes that will affect the facade on portions of Rideau Street, Colonel By Drive, Nicholas Street and McKenzie King Bridge. NCC staff presented the latest plans along with a recommendation to its executive board on Nov. 20. The proposed plans were well received by the board and were unanimously approved. “It is sure a big improvement over what we have now,” said Russell Mills, board chairman. According to the staff report, the reconstruction of the facade along with new store fronts is expected to have a significant impact on the capital experience and promote increased street activity. Conceptual plans for the new facade were submitted to NCC staff a year ago and presented to the board in April 2013. The conceptual images show a revamped Rideau Street and Mackenzie King entrances, an updated pedestrian bridge between the shopping centre and the Hudson’s Bay store on the opposite side of Rideau, and a new garage entrance on Nicholas Street.

SUBMITTED

The National Capital Commission has approved preliminary designs submitted by Cadillac Fairview to renovate the Rideau Centre. Changes include new entrances on Rideau Street and the Mackenzie King Bridge. The commission does not own the land, but a restrictive covenant was part of the 1981 sale to then-owners of the property, the Viking Rideau Corporation, which states any alterations to the exterior or new structures built are subject to the approval of the NCC. The covenant affects the facade along Rideau Street and Sussex Avenue, Colonel By Drive, portions of

Nicholas Street, portions of Mackenzie King Bridge and the rooftop terrace near the bridge. Leading up to the approval, board members raised some concern about signage and whether those designs should be either approved now or at a later date. NCC staffer Fred Gaspere confirmed conversations about signage were ongoing with the Cadillac

Fairview. Board member Jason Sordi asked whether plans would affect or work well with other city plans for the area, including updating transit for the downtown location. According to Gaspere, the NCC is also working with the city and federal government to ensure streetscaping and transit are being considered as the project moves forward.

The board approved the plans with the following conditions: • The project exterior signage must be developed further and in accordance to NCC guidelines for naming and signage which are currently in progress and signage drawings must be reviewed by the NCC for approval. • The proponent must provide a detailed construction schedule for the overall project to the NCC for review to help ensure that the project is advanced in a manner that doesn’t impact other adjacent projects. • Site/Landscape plans and roof terrace plans and detailed designs must be provided to the NCC for review and feedback. Demolition plans including vegetation removal information must be provided to the NCC for review. • Building design and construction drawings, specification and material samples as pertaining to roof landscaping, building envelop, site and landscape development must be provided to the NCC for review and approval for major drawing issues to help ensure that designs as approved is appropriately implemented in schematic design, developed design, construction documents and implemented on site. Currently there is no proposed construction schedule, updated drawings or material samples for review.

Few of our current generation have ever experienced the excitement that auto-makers and car dealerships use to create when the new models arrived. Our parents and grandparents can remember when, every fall their neighbourhood retailers would paper over the windows of their showrooms and send out hand-written invitations to their customers for a special evening when the new models would be revealed. Everyone would be caught up in the excitement and wonder what wheeled marvels were hidden behind the blacked-out windows. Water-cooler talk would be dominated by speculation on new body styles, engine options, and prices as the day approached. Perhaps our current generation has been jaded by the onslaught of multi and social media advertising and many retailers and automakers alike can be excused for thinking progress has taken its toll and there really is no excitement anymore when a smart-phone can provide all the details. Mercedes Benz and their dealer group are the carmaker that marked the beginning of the automotive age over 125 years ago. It’s fitting that they still honour the traditions that mean the difference between utilitarian transport and the art and sport of motoring. Mercedes believes that people deserve the option of choosing a vehicle that

not only efficiently moves them and their passengers in safety and style but pays tribute to the craftsmanship of designers, engineers, and the tradespersons that create their products. The staff at Ogilvie Mercedes Benz are united in their belief that we all deserve to drive the best vehicles available today as well as being treated to an ownership experience second to none. In their newly renovated and expanded St. Laurent Blvd. facilities, the owners, management, and staff at Ogilvie Mercedes Benz welcomed their guests to experience the peak of automotive accomplishment in the forms of the2014 S-class full-size sedans and the CLA 250 mid-sized autos. The parallels between the S Class flagship sedans and Ogilvie Mercedes are worth noting. The S550-4Matic (equipped with Mercedes patented all-wheel drive system) is available in a long wheelbase version with a reconfigured and opulent interior to provide expansive limo roominess in the passenger rear seat position. Ogilvie Mercedes has also under

gone two phases of a multi-million dollar expansion and redesign of every customer department to bring the same personally welcoming touches to an expanding client family. Sales director, Leslie Mise, noted at the event that Mercedes is reaching out to a much wider and diverse demographic starting with younger professionals and growing families. “The outdated image of Mercedes Benz as an automaker for the elite has been replaced with overwhelming consumer acceptance of this iconic firm as a global supplier of vehicles for almost every need and budget. Our increase in sales and market-share in this region is mirrored in every major centre across the country.” The S-class group of vehicles receives two great power-plants in the form of a twin-turbocharged 4.6 L gasoline V8 and a 577 hp 5.5 L for the sportier AMG version. These single-craftsman built engines provide efficient power along with the confidence of a finely tuned suspension system and drive-line.

Ogilvie Mercedes as well is flexing its power (buying power that is) by being able to bring all the most popular models to its facility, thanks to recording-setting sales. Mercedes Benz Canada is providing generous and early allocations of their newest vehicles so that Ogilvie Mercedes customers have access to the best. And Mercedes assemblers are proud to sign every engine they build. Ogilvie clients receive the confidence of having a personal transportation relationship with Canada’s leader in customer satisfaction. The interior of the S-class has been thoughtfully designed and crafted to provide all the information that a driver needs, without distraction. It’s multitude of technology-leading safety systems include collision mitigation, infrared night vision sensors, autonomous braking systems for both vehicle and pedestrian collision avoidance. These features mirror the care that each member of the Ogilvie team takes whether dealing with a comprehensive pre-owned vehicle protection package, or helping a customer select the correct winter tires, or even demonstrating an advanced heated wiper and washer system that beats any Canadian winter drive cold. Just as every Mercedes product is imagined, designed and constructed to excel at its job; Ogilvie Mercedes’ team, facility and operating philosophy been designed to provide seamless, comfortable, and personal access to the best team of trained service and technology professionals, sales and parts consultants in the country. Contact them today and find out why driving the best doesn’t have to cost the most.

Changes to future transportation plan keep it localized More changes to alignment of the future Earl Armstrong extension proposed Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A raft of localized changes to the city’s tentative future transportation plans sailed through committee approvals on Nov. 15. City staff presented few changes to the $4-billion plan, which outlines planned extensions and expansions of road, pedestrian, cycling and transit facilities until 2031. But while the transportation committee largely left plans for the mayor’s splashy extensions of light rail east to Place D’Orleans and west to Bayshore, as well as an O-Train extension south to Bowesville, a number of changes were recommended to local road, sidewalk and bike-lane plans. City council still needed to approve the transportation master plan and the committee’s changes to it during a Nov. 26 meeting, which took place after this newspaper’s deadline. SOUTH END

Councillors wanted to re-jig how the city will tackle a long-term project to widen the southern section of Prince of Wales Drive. The master plan initially suggested putting $23 million towards widening the section from Colonnade Road to Hunt Club

Road, but feedback from the public showed there was a much stronger demand for a “long-term solution” further south. Councillors responded to that by pushing the widening of Prince of Wales between Hunt Club and Merivale roads higher on the list to be done before the section to Colonnade Road. The change will also mean delaying the construction of a new, twolane road between Bowesville and Bank Street, which is part of a larger plan to widen Earl Armstrong Road and change the road network in the area. That was supposed to be done in the last phase of the plan, after 2026, but the transportation committee voted to push the new connector road farther down the list and instead use the $20 million from that project towards the Prince of Wales widening. But even those changes, which amount to freeing up $43 million, won’t be enough to widen the section of Prince of Wales from Hunt Club to Merivale, so the committee tasked staff with a value-engineering study to see if the estimated $76-million budget for the project could be whittled down. That study will be done in 2014 so the Prince of Wales widening can be considered after the opening of the Strandherd Armstrong bridge in 2015, when the city was already planning to look at modifying some of the intersections along Prince of Wales Drive. Further changes to the alignment of the future Earl Armstrong extension were proposed by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. Councillors supported his motion to show the future road as a “placeholder” line south of the urban area until the final location is determined through an en-

vironmental assessment study. The road is shown as connecting with Blais Road at Bank Street in the draft plans, but that would impact a planned subdivision to be constructed west of Bank Street. The committee also recommended the city make a formal request for the province to look at even a partial highway on-ramp at Barnsdale Road to serve commuters coming from the south end. While the transportation master plan calls for interchanges at both Barnsdale and Cambrian roads, residents from Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Chapman Mills, Richmond, Riverside South and Manotick would be better served by a Highway 416 on-ramp at Barnsdale Road, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said. City staff is also planning to adjust cycling plans for the Nepean area to construct a missing pathway link along Woodroffe Avenue from south of Longfields Drive to Claridge/Stoneway drives sooner, before 2019. WEST END

In addition to enshrining changes to bus Transitway extensions along March Road and a connection to Terry Fox Station that the transit commission approved the week before, the transportation committee tweaked a few road projects in Kanata. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley wanted it enshrined in the plan than any leftover money from the future “Kanata South Link” project to widen and connect West Hunt Club and Old Richmond roads would be used to speed up a later project to widen Hope Side Road, which is supposed to be looked at after 2026. Hubley’s

fellow committee members agreed it should be put in the plan that widening and intersection modifications should be considered for Hope Side Road as early as possible if there is money left over. There was one small change made to the priority order for road projects in Kanata North. Instead of including a planned widening of the north section of March Road as a single project, the committee broke it into two phases of differing importance: the section between Old Carp and Dunrobin roads was deemed less urgent than the portion of March Road north of Old Carp Road. CENTRAL AREA

Despite completing the detailed design for a proposed footbridge over the Rideau Canal connecting Old Ottawa East and the Glebe near Lansdowne Park, residents expressed confusion that the city would plan to construct another new pedestrian bridge before it. A new idea to convert the old Prince of Wales rail bridge into a pedestrian crossing to Quebec would cost $3 million and is slated to be done first, between 2014 and 2019. The Rideau Canal bridge would cost more than $13 million and would be constructed later, between 2019 and 2026. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko proposed a way to mitigate that. He was successful in getting a motion passed that would reallocate money from the Prince of Wales bridge project to the Rideau Crossing bridge if a partnership funding agreement with Gatineau and the National Capital Commission isn’t secured in time, it would be shifted to speed up the

I]^h nZVg! YZX` ndjg ]Vaah l^i] ÝcZ! Y^hi^cXi^kZ e^ZXZh [gdb djg Wdji^fjZ#

construction of the canal footbridge. The canal footbridge would also be bumped up if alternate or additional funding becomes available before 2019. Chernushenko said it doesn’t harbour ill wishes towards the bridge to Gatineau, but “should for some reason (the Prince of Wales bridge) not go through, the remainder of the money in that pot be directed to the next bridge in the queue, the Fifth and Clegg bridge.” Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury was successful in asking the committee to add new sidewalks for Vanier into the plan. If adopted by council, the recommendation would eventually see Des Pères-Blancs and Brant Street get sidewalks. Plans for cycling facilities in Vanier also got a boost. The transportation master plan contains a neighbourhood cycling route for Vanier, which is intended to help people get around their community and provide direct routes to major facilities and shopping areas. But the proposed network didn’t capture some well-established routes in Vanier, Fleury said, so he’d like to keep the conversation going. His motion means city staff will continue to consult to refine the neighbourhood and crosstown bikeway routes, including the one for Vanier-Lindenlea. It also asks for improved connectivity for Sandy Hill, Lowertown and Vanier to the ByWard Market. A winter cycling network is included in the transportation master plan for the first time ever, but the committee heard from residents that it needs more finessing. It directed staff to consult with cyclists on adjustments to routes that would receive priority snow clearing for bicycles. That info would be considered as part of council’s 2014-18 strategic priority setting and as part of the budget process. Fleury also asked the committee to support his motion to direct the city to work with the STO transit service in Gatineau to develop strategies that minimize “both the number of buses and cars that operate on downtown Ottawa streets.”

Maple yule log a festive, tasty treat Lifestyle - This holiday tradition is even more Canadian with the addition of pure maple syrup. Spread maple syrup-flavoured whipped cream on the maple sheet cake and roll up. This can be made up to three weeks ahead, assembled and frozen. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking time: 12 minutes. Serves 10 to 12.

Filling • 250 ml (1 cup) whipping cream • 25 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tbsp) maple syrup Topping • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) whipping cream • 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup Garnishes • Cocoa, shaved chocolate and whole cranberries.

INGREDIENTS

Cake • 250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose or cake-and-pastry flour • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 4 eggs • 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup • 250 ml (1 cup) brown sugar, not packed • icing sugar

PREPARATION

Line a 45-by-29 centimetre (17-by-11 inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spray it with no-stick vegetable spray and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to blend well. In a large bowl, beat the

eggs and maple syrup using an electric mixer until it’s slightly thickened. Gradually add the brown sugar, beating until thick. Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture in three additions, folding gently after each addition. Spread evenly in the pan and bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown and firm to the touch. Sift about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of icing sugar onto a clean tea towel in an even layer. Invert the cake and pan onto the towel, remove the pan, and carefully peel off the paper. Roll up the cake and towel together (begin at the short or long edge, depending on whether you want a longer thin or shorter thick Yule log). Let it cool completely on a rack.

For the filling, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled medium bowl until firm peaks form. Unroll the cake and spread filling evenly over the surface. Roll up the cake again, using towel to help. (Cake can be wrapped and frozen at this point if desired, or frozen after adding the whipped cream topping.) For the topping and garnishes, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled medium bowl until firm peaks form. Completely cover the top, sides and both ends of rolled cake with the cream. With a fork, make tree bark marks on the surface, then dust with cocoa if you’re using it. Cover the cake and re-

frigerate or wrap it well and freeze until you’re ready to serve it. Transfer from the freezer to refrigerator half an

hour before serving. Serve with your choice of garnishes. Foodland Ontario

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

to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table. “I’m making soap today,â€? she said. She had been saving lard from the fried bacon, roasted pork and anywhere else she could ďŹ nd a spoonful or two of fat. By the time soap day rolled around, about four small honey pails of fat sat on an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready.

(and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday washings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water. By the time the evening was well on its way, Mother would bring the trays onto the kitchen table which had been covered with copies of the Renfrew Mercury, and using the sharpest knife in the house, she would cut the soap into bars. Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water, and it wasn’t unusual at all to have a piece of lye scrape across your body during a bath, leaving a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat. Audrey, Mother and me were the only ones to use the soap made with a dash of vanilla, but as far as I was concerned, the vanilla did little to take away the strong smell of Gillette’s lye. It would be a long time before Mother ďŹ nally bought a bar of real soap. I thought it smelled just as bad as what she had made. It was called Lifebouy, it was bright red and even my brother Emerson, who hated the lye soap as much as I did, said it smelled only a bit better than the smell of the cow byre. The smell lingered on your body for hours. One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory, but it was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper and stored away until her next visit. So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without.

gloves conďŹ rmed in my mind how dangerous the lye was. We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove so the contents turned to liquid, were brought close to the table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would be stirred into the mixture. Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla. That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing. Audrey said the hardest part of soap making was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours. I would picture in my mind Mother with Father’s old work gloves on, stirring and stirring and making sure not a drop would touch her skin. By time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, or at least that was Mother’s hope. But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into bars. While that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a ďŹ nger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut. I could never ďŹ gure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard. When it did R0012233909

Even before we went to school, Mother would have started the soap making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and half-ďŹ ll the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step of the process. Mother would pry off the lid with a knife and pour the lye over the hot water. Great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water, which would cool off almost immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed in the water. There was an old wood spoon with a very long handle that was used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water. It had a piece of binder twine through the little hole in the handle, and when not used for soap-making it hung in the summer kitchen so that it wouldn’t accidentally be used for something that would be put in our stomachs.

And besides, there was nothing wrong with the bars of home-made soap she churned out once or twice a year. Along with my loathing for the home-made soap, was my absolute dislike for the days Mother put aside to make it. That seemed to happen in spring and fall. It couldn’t be too hot, or too cold. Winter had yet to settle in that year I remember with such clarity. The summer kitchen was still

Routes to Strandherd-Armstrong bridge in flux Manotick residents decry defunding of Earl Armstrong extension emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Members of the Manotick Village and Community Association were livid after their councillor spearheaded a move to defund a long-planned extension of Earl Armstrong road in favour of widening Prince of Wales Drive. “This is against the interests of Manotick,â€? said association president Klaus Beltzner at a meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt moved the motion at the city’s transportation committee on Nov. 15 while discussing the ďŹ ve-year Transportation Master Plan, (TMP). The motion would delay the Earl Armstrong extension between Bowesville and Bank Street past 2031 and instead use the project’s pre-approved $20 million to fast-track a widening of Prince of Wales between Merivale and Hunt Club Roads. The association accused Moffatt of abandoning his Manotick residents in favour of the wishes of suburban councillors Jan Harder and Steve Desroches to keep Earl Armstrong from becoming a truck route connected to the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge. “It was supposed to be a link in a major network,â€? said Brian Tansley, past president of the association. “This is a misappropriation of taxpayers’ money.â€? Moffatt said he wanted to fast-track the Prince of Wales project because of chronic congestion along the arterial road, which is a main route downtown for residents in the south end of the city. His motion had two aims: ďŹ rst, to move the scope of the project south of Hunt Club down to Merivale, instead of widening between Colonnade Road and Hunt Club. Second-

ly, his motion proposed delaying the Earl Armstrong extension past 2031 and using that money to fund the Prince of Wales widening instead. But even those changes, which amount to freeing up $43 million, won’t be enough to widen the section of Prince of Wales, so the committee tasked staff with a value-engineering study to see if the estimated $76-million budget for the project could be whittled down. That study will be done in 2014 so the Prince of Wales widening can be considered in 2015 after the StrandherdArmstrong bridge has opened, when the city was already planning to look at modifying some of the intersections along Prince of Wales Drive. The motion passed unanimously and was set for a coun-

I just wanted Prince of Wales first and I think the community wants Prince of Wales first COUN. SCOTT MOFFATT

cil vote on Nov. 26. Moffatt said his constituents have long asked for Prince of Wales to be widened, and for him that has to be the priority. “Prince of Wales is a key transportation link for residents in Rideau-Goulbourn,� Moffatt said. “The future growth in Manotick is counting on a transportation network that allows residents to get out of Manotick.� Moffatt said removing the Earl Armstrong connection from the master plan doesn’t mean the project won’t happen.

NETWORK ISSUE

Congestion on Prince of Wales is recognized as a longtime issue for south-end residents, but the Manotick association said connecting Earl Armstrong to the Strandherd-

FILE

The city is deciding where to spend money on the roads that lead to the future Strandherd-Armstrong bridge. Armstrong truck network has to remain the priority. The group said the bridge opening in 2014 will automatically reduce congestion on Prince of Wales by allowing some trafďŹ c to cross the river and go north on more easterly arterials like River and Limebank Roads. Earl Armstrong, on the other hand, will be a useless limb for the surrounding road network unless it can be connected to Albion Road and Bank Street to allow a proper east-west arterial from the bridge. “City staff have designated the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge a truck route, but this motion limits the truckers’ ability to get to the bridge,â€? Beltzner said. Furthermore, the group said delaying an Albion Road connection could hurt any future development at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, which the city has designated as the only place for an Ottawa casino. Moffatt said the city wants to see a casino long before the Earl Armstrong connection would be built, regardless of his motion.

SHORT-TERM SOLUTION

Whether Moffatt’s motion passes or not, it would still take no fewer than 12 years to extend Earl Armstrong eastward. In the interim, Moffatt has agreed to support a temporary solution in the 2014 budget that would encourage trucks to use Rideau Road, which is already deemed a truck route. The plan would require the city to widen and signalize the intersection of Rideau and River Roads to make turning north towards the bridge more palatable, and to install a much-needed traf-

ďŹ c signal at Mitch Owens and Manotick Station Road to add an extra truck deterrent. Beltzner also asked him to advocate for the city to pave Earl Armstrong to High Road, which would at least allow local car trafďŹ c to access Albion Road until the truck-approved extension can be built. Beltzner said he wanted to get the projects into the 2014 budget, leaving less than a week to make it happen before the council vote on Nov. 27. But Moffatt said it’s more likely the work will be put into the 2015 budget. “It would be very difďŹ cult to get it on the budget for 2014; it would be better to push for 2015,â€? Moffatt said. “We need a bit more time to do our due diligence.â€? Moffatt added he is committed to ďŹ nding solutions to Manotick’s truck trafďŹ c problems earlier than any potential Earl Armstrong connections could offer them. “There will be options in the future rather than hoping that a road that’s built 12 to 17 years from now will be the solution to all our problems,â€? Moffatt said, adding that it’s no use predicting trafďŹ c patterns until the bridge opens. “I really think that bridge opening is the ďŹ rst step. We can try to predict trafďŹ c patterns all we want but people will ďŹ nd a way to go that they want to go. Sometimes you just have to let trafďŹ c decide where it wants to go.â€?

“Every ďŹ ve years we review (the TMP) and we make changes to it,â€? he said. “The opportunity’s going to be there to advance that project. I just wanted Prince of Wales ďŹ rst and I think the community wants Prince of Wales ďŹ rst.â€? But residents – and even some councillors – weren’t buying it. Beltzner said removing an approved, funded project from the master plan undoes years of behind-the-scenes work to get it on there. “If the money is there for a project (on the TMP) it is approved and funded, and it’s going to get done,â€? he said. “But if you take the money away it could take 100 years to get done.â€? The association was also mad that Moffatt didn’t consult his constituents before making the motion. “Scott believes he knows what’s best for Manotick without asking his residents,â€? Beltzner said. “I’m not going to shy away from calling him out on this.â€? Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he was struggling to understand why Moffatt would move to delay a project that he said would be such a boon to Rideau-Goulbourn residents. Thompson said the extension would simultaneously remove trucks from Mitch Owens Road (and therefore Manotick’s troubled Bridge Street) while providing an east-west arterial for trafďŹ c in the south end. “I have to say I’m a bit surprised that Scott would be in favour of the motion that came forward,â€? said Thompson, who said he planned to talk to his neighbouring councillor to see if he can change his mind. “It’s so critical for Osgoode Ward and the west end of the city.â€?

River tunnel options discussed in Lowertown Association’s looks at options Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Lowertown’s King Edward Task Force says it feels abandoned following the demise of plans for an eastend interprovincial bridge, as trucks continue to barrel down the community’s main street. The task force’s chairman Michel Vallée provided an update on where efforts to make the street a safer place are at the Lowertown Community Association annual general meeting on Nov. 12. Created 27 years ago, the task force to brings attention to the temporary truck route along King Edward Avenue that has been established since the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge was built in 1965. LACK OF SUPPORT

Vallée spoke of his disappointment with the lack of support he said he feels the community has had from the city, the province and the federal government concerning truck traffic in Lowertown, adding the cancellation of plans for an interprovincial bridge appears to be the final straw. “We are disappointed with the cancellation of the bridge study,” Vallée said. “We had hoped that we would get some support from our MPP, we didn’t get much support from our mayor. It just seems this was all a waste of money.” The six-year-old National Capital Commission study cost $7 million before the province indicated it would not sup-

port any of the three proposed routes mentioned in the study in June. The NCC stopped the study shortly thereafter. Since that announcement, the task force responded to the city with a list of five traffic calming measures to help mitigate problems it sees on King Edward. Among the requests are reduced speeds, segregated bicycle lanes and moving speed limit signs to the median from the sides of the road. The latter request has been fulfilled, but Vallée reported the city has not been very responsive with some of the other requests. Because of this, he said the committee will become more active, working harder to get its voice heard. Meanwhile, only days before the Lowertown meeting, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury received support from the city’s transportation committee to ask the province to partner with the city on a study looking at the creation of a tunnel from the Ottawa River to Highway 417. The option is not a new one to some Lowertown residents, including Vallée, whose committee has long called for a tunnel. Fleury’s motion will ask the city to formally ask the province to partner and help pay for a feasibility assessment for such a tunnel. Fleury said the study could cost around $750,000, which would be shared between the city and province. Approximately 2,500 trucks travel through Lowertown on King Edward on a typical

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Residents check out some of Lowertown’s history at Lowertown Community Association’s annual general meeting on Nov. 18. weekday and that number is expected to increase by one or two per cent each year. The truck route sees trucks using Waller and Rideau streets as well. In the past, the possibility of a tunnel was excluded from interprovincial transportation studies due to technical and operational reasons, including the expense of digging a tunnel under such a densely developed area. Residents at the Lowertown meeting welcomed the potential fix and spent a por-

tion of the evening discussing the feasibility of such a plan. Fleury said the study would be different from the one scuttled by the NCC. “We are only going to look at Ottawa’s concerns,” Fleury said. “It will be much easier to deal with one or

two governments instead of the NCC and other provinces.” When asked about a potential timeline, Fleury could not comment, but Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Bélanger, who also attended the meeting, said he felt, based on reported costs, a

study like the one the city may undertake could take close to two years to complete. “We want to solve the truck problem and we need to solve the problem and a tunnel could work,” Bélanger said. With files from Laura Mueller Ac SA t Q LE uic S kly ST To AR Ge T t t EA he Be RLY st De ! als

Councillor wants to fast-track Hunt Club extension Coun. Rainer Bloess wants to bump post-2031 connection to Innes Road up the city’s to-do list Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Plans to construct an eastward extension of Hunt Club Road could happen sooner than several decades from now, if Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess has his way. A $67.5-million project to connect the new Hunt Club/ Highway 417 interchange to Innes Road is technically in the city’s long-term plans, but it’s so far down the list that city officials say there won’t be money to build it until sometime after 2031. That wasn’t good enough for Bloess, who thinks transportation planners mistakenly gave the project too low of a score. But he believes if staff looks at the extension in two parts – from Innes Road to Walkley Road and from Walkley to Hunt Club – the priorities could change. “Right now the way the transportation master plan is set up, it’s not on the horizon,” Bloess said. “I think the key for us is to show that this link is more im-

That wasn’t good enough for Bloess, who thinks transportation planners mistakenly gave the project too low of a score. portant than what our staff and consultants are telling us.” Bloess asked his colleagues on the transportation committee to direct staff to break the

future Hunt Club extension project into two phases. Instead, the committee referred the idea directly to city council for consideration. Council

was set to vote on the idea as part of the overall transportation master plan on Nov. 26, after this newspaper’s deadline.

“They have under-rated, or under-scored it, so the motion was for them to go back and look at the scoring again… then figure out how to move it up on the books,” Bloess said. “One of the ways is to move it up in segments.” Bloess says the city needs to find a way to start on the eastern extension of Hunt Club Road within the next five years. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was behind Bloess’ motion. He wrote in an email that Bloess’s idea “is a great way of moving this forward.” “We must find ways of ensuring that it is in the minds of the city and the TMP and look for ways to advance it for the future,” Monette wrote. But Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais wasn’t impressed. Blais said he felt that the suggestion should have come earlier in the consultations on the transportation master plan, which kicked off on Oct. 9. “It’s coming out of thin air. It’s never been looked at. You’re basically designing roadways on the fly,” Blais said.

“And then think you’re going to be successful in persuading your colleagues to build a multi-million dollar road that … hasn’t been studied and was pretty much wrote up on the back of a napkin.” The environmental assessment for both phases of the Hunt Club extension was completed several years ago. If staff finds that splitting up the eastern Hunt Club extension into two parts results in one portion being deemed a higher priority, the project could be moved up the list above the cut-off line for projects the city expects to be able to build by 2031, said Colin Simpson, a senior program manager in transportation planning with the city. When assessing a road project’s priority score, city staff looks at: - Providing access to new developments - Managing congestion - Cost effectiveness - Filling gaps in the transportation network - Capacity to support active transportation and transit infrastructure

accurate,” said the pharmacist, Don Johnston. Many community resource centres, clinics, Ottawa and provincial and federal health employees attended a launch for the clinic on Nov. 19. Ujjainwalla said creating partnerships with local organizations is integral to making this new concept work and grow in this city. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder attended the launch and said she wished the clinic was located in the west end. Expansion, something the doctor is interested in, all hinges on buy-in from either the provincial government or local doctors willing to open one up. Ujjainwalla said it’s too soon to tell when that might happen, but he is happy to report that support has been pouring in. Aside from his practice, Ujjainwalla also runs the treatment and addiction curriculum at the University of Ottawa. This clinic will have a partnership with the university’s faculty of medicine, becoming a teaching facility. The clinic opened its doors a couple of months ago, converting the former Rogers Video into a stateof-the-art doctor’s office. Plans are currently in the works to tear down the current building and build a new mixed-use building, but Ujjainwalla said the organization signed a five year lease.

News - A methadone clinic that opened recently in Vanier wants the neighbourhood to know it is there to help anyone suffering from addiction, no matter where they live in the city. Recovery Ottawa is located in the Eastview Plaza at the corner of Montreal Road and North River Road. Dr. Mark Ujjainwalla, the medical director and founder of the clinic, is has been a recovering alcoholic for 25 years, giving him first-hand experience dealing with addiction. “Addiction is an illness like any other, and patients dealing with it deserve to be treated with the same respect,” Ujjainwalla said. Known affectionately as “Dr. Mark” by his patients, the clinic is there to help anyone dealing with addiction. According to Ujjainwalla, he has helped hundreds of patients, and if more doctors signed onto the practice, he believes the clinic could help close to 3,000 patients per year. Ujjainwalla started the clinic on his own, funding it privately with his partner Mark Barnes, who owns and runs Respect Rx Pharmasave, a pharmacy located in the clinic. According to the men, they are providing the city a service they believe is sorely lacking: a place where

wouldn’t you treat them?” he said. Recovery Ottawa does away with the concept of wait lists. Instead it offers treatment from the moment a person walks in the door. Jean-Marc J. is one of those patients and one of the doctor’s success stories. When Jean-Marc J. went to see Ujjainwalla a little over a year ago, the 43-year-old weighed 54 kilograms and was spending $300 to $500 a day on heroin or cocaine - financed through crime. “In the past 20 years, I have spent 13 of them in jail,” Jean-Marc J. said. “When I got out of jail, I desperately needed help I was afraid I was going to die. That is when I found Dr. Mark.” Since the day he met with the doctor, he has been clean. The way it works is simple. The clinic sees patients, consults with them, submits them to monitored urine tests and then determines the dosage of methadone to administer. From there, it’s just a matter of walking a couple of steps to the right of the clinic and meeting up with Barnes or one of his staff. The methadone is dispensed using thumb print technology. Connected to a computer, once a patient’s thumb print is scanned, the dosage is shown. “It tells us how much to give to each patient, because each patient’s dosage is different, this helps us be

The city’s ability to deal with loss of trees caused by the emerald ash borer beetle was the sticking point at the environment committee considered its 2014 budget.

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

News - The city’s environment committee reconfirmed a planned seven per cent hike in water and sewer rates, but not before much discussion on forestry services. A spotlight is being shone on the department as the city grapples with losing a large number of trees to the emerald ash borer beetle. The $16-million budget for forestry in 2014 includes $1.18 million more money than last year for planting trees (about

17,000 of them), but fewer staff members. That frustrated Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, who said maintaining and increasing the tree canopy in her ward is a big priority for residents. In the downtown, where homeowners “front yards” are often city right-ofways, residents don’t want to see fewer staffers available to cut down and replace their tree if it dies, Holmes said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said his constituents are also becoming frustrated at the length of time it can take

for forestry services to replace trees once they are cut down. While Fleury said tree frustrations continue to grow in communities, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume disagreed, saying his experience with forestry was different than his colleagues. Holmes and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko dissented on the forestry portion of the budget, but most committee members approved it on Nov. 19. The water and sewer rate increase was decided prior to last year’s budget, which also saw a seven

per cent increase for that line. Increases of five and six per cent a year are projected for the next term of council. The overall environment budget for the city includes $122.3 million in spending, $48.3 million of which comes from taxes. That brings total spending down $216,000 from last year, mostly due to decreasing the number of staff. The city’s entire $332.2million operating budget and $309.5-million capital spending budget was to be considered by city council on Nov. 27, after this newspaper’s deadline.

Sports - The Ottawa Fury professional soccer team has signed its first Canadian player. Striker Carl Haworth played for the Fury’s PDL-level team last year, a developmental league. The Fury is adding him as their third player – and first Canadian – to their new professional team which will play in the North American Soccer League. Head coach Marc Dos Santos said the signing sends a positive message to the PDL-level players. Dos Santos was able to heavily scout Haworth while watching him play in Ottawa last year. “He deserves to be at the next level, he played very well at the PDL level,” Dos Santos said, adding he was impressed with Haworth’s work ethic. “He scores once, he wants the second one. He scores twice, he wants the third one.” Haworth moved to Barrie, Ont. from England when he was a year old, and went on to play NCAA soccer at Niagara College. He made the Canadian U23 team in 2012, where he played in Olympic qualification games. Haworth is only 24-years-old, but fans should get ready to see a young Fury team next year, Dos

Santos said. “It’s going to be a young side. Today, we don’t foresee having one player that is more than 30 years old,” he said. “The objectives … is not to be a team that in year one, we spend all kinds (of money) and in year two, we disappear.” Since the Fury signed Scottish player Nicki Paterson, they have also added Brazilian Oliver Minatel to the team. The Fury also announced their coaching staff in advance of the Nov. 20 and 21 open tryout. While the sessions were billed as an open tryout, coaching staff had cut applicants from 300 down to 46 to evaluate in person at the Superdome at Ben Franklin Park. Martin Nash joied the staff as assistant coach. He played for 10 years for the Vancouver Whitecaps before moving into a coaching role. David Bellemare joins as goalkeeping coach, and head coach Dos Santos’ brother Philippe Dos Santos has been brought in as technical director. A fitness and conditioning coach is still to be added to the final coaching roster. The head coach hopes his staff will mirror the profile of the players on the club. “Our coaching staff is incredibly young, dynamic, and willing to work,” he said.

Help Santa parade brings snow, Christmas spirit

PHOTOS BY BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

The big man himself, Santa Claus, waves as he starts along Bank Street. The annual Christmas parade was held downtown Ottawa on Nov. 23. As the parade started, so did the well timed snow, covering floats, spectators and firefighters. The Help Santa Toy Parade is organized by the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association each year, and raises money to purchase toys for less fortunate children in the Ottawa area.

Cindy Lou Who waves to the kids and adults packed along the route from the CHEO Foundation’s float. Left, children lean into the street to take a peek and see if the parade is about to near the corner and come into view.

City counting on DND move: Coun. Chiarelli jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The investment the city made in preparation for the move of nearly 10,000 Department of Nation Defence employees to Carling Avenue was a sound one, said College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli.

Bells Corners stands to gain the most from the move and all I can say is, businesses are here and we’re ready ALEX LEWIS BELLS CORNERS BIA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

In anticipation of the influx of commuters, a $3-million rebuild of the Robertson Road and Moodie Drive intersection is expected to be completed soon, but that project won’t be necessary if the DND move doesn’t happen.

“Those improvements were needed,” Chiarelli said, adding the city has been in talks with the federal government to ensure local representatives understand the importance of the move. “And it would be a real mess if the intersection improvements weren’t done before the move takes place.” The Bells Corners Business Improvement Area has also counted on the influx of federal employees since its inception in 2009. Executive director Alex Lewis said the BIA has made the DND move a priority in its long-term planning. “We have been working with all levels of government to assist in ensuring the transition occurs and is seamless,” Lewis said. “Bells Corners stands to gain the most from the move and all I can say is, businesses are here and we’re ready.” The federal government purchased the Nortel building for $208 million in 2010. At the time of the sale, estimates were renovation costs to bring the building up to DND standards would be $623 million. Some media reports say only a fraction of the more than $800 million slated for the renovation and purchase of the former Nortel prop-

S 50% A 90% V E to

erty has been spent. “I think $700 million in renovation costs is inflated,” Chiarelli said, adding the move needs to happen and the cost to the federal government would be similar if DND moved to any other site. Pierre-Alain Bujold, a spokesperson for Public Works and Government Services Canada, said the government is reviewing its plans for the renovation of federal occupancy of the campus at Carling Avenue and Moodie Drive. “No decision has been made,” he wrote in an email, referring to the move. Bujold added that while the review is ongoing, Public Works can’t provide specifics regarding relocation

costs and the move-in timeline. “This exercise will ensure that all costs related to the future federal occupancy of the campus will be in the interest of Canadian taxpayers and the Crown,” he said. LANGUAGE ISSUE

The financial review isn’t the only hurdle the move has faced. In April, Ottawa-Orléans MPP Phil McNeely challenged the move in a letter to the commissioner of official languages, saying the move would damage the francophone community if the DND staff moved from the east to the west end. In July, the commissioner declined to investigate the complaint.

Better neighbourhood project almost complete Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News -Way-finding signs have come one step closer to pointing Vanier residents and visitors in the right direction. The Vanier Community Association’s Nick Heisler has been working with city staff and residents to implement the way-finding signs in the neighbourhood to promote walkability and neighbourhood appreciation. Part of the association’s Better Neighbourhoods grant received last spring, the project is nearing completion, with just a few things such as colour and placement left to cross off the list remaining steps. Once those are determined, the signs will be permanently placed on Vanier streets promoting heritage spots, local parks and interesting walks to take around the neighbourhood. “We are having a little dispute with the colour,” Heisler said, updating members at a re-

cent association meeting. “We want purple and the city wants blue - to match the other city signs.” Heisler said the association wants the different colour so the signs can stand out. Many of the residents who attended the meeting agreed. The signs will be placed in 25 already-designated locations. The other part of this project is the creation of information directories, which are also almost ready to be placed at the four corners of the neighbourhood. These directories will have a map to identify where in the neighbourhood someone is, it will have a list of businesses and could share and update residents about events, meetings, places to visit or areas to see in the community. The directories will be placed at Montreal Road and North River Road, Montreal Road and Marier Avenue, Beechwood Avenue and the Vanier Parkway and McArthur Road and the Vanier Parkway.

Both the directories and the way-finding signs were ideas mentioned more than a year ago, before the association submitted an application for the city grant. Heisler and a small

group of board members and residents have been focused on the project, with the goal to have both the signs and the directories in place by the end of the year.

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

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The zoning amendment proposal affects the entire territory of the City of Ottawa. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendment comes in response to direction by Ottawa City Council on April 24, 2013, requesting “a study in respect of the land use planning policies associated with the conversion of low-density residential uses to increase the number of dwelling units to three or more for the purposes of assessing the land use planning impact of such developments and establishing further zoning standards to help ensure their compatibility.” The proposed amendment will eliminate the distinction between conversions that increase the number of dwelling units in existing dwellings and new construction in the Zoning By-law. As a result, a dwelling that is modified to increase the number of dwelling units will be subject to the same zoning provisions (including the required setbacks, side yards, height limits, minimum lot dimensions, landscaping and parking) as a dwelling that was purpose-built with that many dwelling units. The proposed amendment will establish limits on the number of rooming units permitted in a Converted Rooming House in the R4 (Residential Fourth Density) zones, and modify the limits on this use in the R3 (Residential Third Density) zones. This use will be limited to a maximum of seven rooming units in these zones. The proposed amendment will also introduce a minimum requirement for amenity areas in the rear yard at grade for Rooming Houses, Converted Rooming Houses, Three-unit Dwellings and Low-rise Apartment Dwellings in residential zones. Amenity space of 15m2 per dwelling unit for the first eight dwelling units would be required. Rooming Houses and Converted Rooming Houses would require 7.5m2 of amenity space for the first eight rooming units, plus 3m2 per rooming unit thereafter. FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to Ottawa.ca/conversions. RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS

Select spots in Vanier, including this busy intersection at Marier Avenue and Montreal Road have been chosen to have information directories. The directories will inform residents and visitors about where they are in the neighbourhood, local businesses and places to see.

Vanier legion aims to become community resource Legion members meet with association to create stronger ties Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Vanier branch of the Royal Canadian Legion wants area residents to know its doors are always open.

Eastview legion president Andrew Stevenson attended a recent Vanier Community Association meeting to let that group’s members know the legion is more than just a spot in the neighbourhood to drink cheap beer. “Our main goal is to get back into Vanier,� Stevenson said. “We want to be a part of this community.� The legion, located at the corner of Cyr Avenue and Montreal Road, has been working hard in the past few

months to become a business and organization the community can depend on for support, most recently offering funding and space for the neighbourhood’s Festival of Nations back in August. According to Stevenson, this contribution is just the beginning. Up next, the legion will be working to create youth sports programming for the neighbourhood. “We are looking at promoting or sponsoring local sports

teams,� Stevenson said. Stevenson added ideas for youth or children sports programs are in the early stages right now, so he is open to ideas or suggestions. He added legion has funding that they would like to put to good use. “We have the resources to help, we just need to blow the dust off,� Stevenson said. Aside from the programming, there are actually a number of events and opportunities for members of the

community to go to the legion -- without being a member. There is a weekly breakfast held on Saturdays for $5. Board member Dan Shipley said it can arguably be one of the best breakfasts in town. There is also a weekly Sunday dinner, also open to the public. The organization will also be holding its ďŹ rst meat draw on Dec. 7, which invites members and guests to purchase tickets with the chance to win meat donated by Over-

brook butcher Dumouchel for a supper. To contact the organization about starting up a sports program for youth or for more information about the legion, please visit rcl462.ca.

Robillard began his career with the Cornwall Police Service, and then transferred to Ottawa police in September 2009. He had a decade of policing experience. “We have spoken to members of his family and have offered our sympathy and support,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau in a press release. “All members of our service mourn his loss.” The Ottawa police service collision investigations unit is investigating the crash. All police buildings flew their flags at half mast until sundown on the day of his funeral.

Community concerned after Halloween robbery Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Police officers visited a Portobello South association’s annual general meeting on Nov. 20 to address neighbourhood concerns after a community association member’s son was robbed on Halloween. The member said her son was coming home from Algonquin College on Oct. 31 at 8:50 p.m. when he was approached by several youths after getting off the bus at Portobello and Innes. “He was jumped, he was beaten up,” she said. “They broke his nose. They kicked and beat him until they could get his phone out of his pocket.” She said the family called the police and paramedics. “I never thought something like this could happen in our area, to me, it’s shocking,” she said at the meeting. Const. Paul Burnett, who is in charge of the community police officers, spoke to the association to address the

concerns. He said there was a second robbery in the area on the same evening. Burnett said the crime rate has gone down within Cumberland Ward, where Portobello South is located. He encouraged parents to talk to their kids about have expensive items visible while in public. “A lot of these robberies, kids have very expensive phones, very expensive headphones,” he said. “And people want to take these things.” Neighbourhood Watch staff officer Roley Campbell said the neighbourhood is generally very safe. “I can tell you from working and living here, this is a very safe neighbourhood,” Campbell said. “I live here for a reason. But are we naive enough to think this won’t happen? Times have changed. When I went to high school, you didn’t walk around with a $500 item dangling out of your ears.” Campbell added that police have an idea of who was re-

sponsible for the Halloween robbery. “We think we know who did it,” he said. “Knowing who did it and proving it can be a different story.” Several community members provided suggestions on how to promote community safety. Patricia Joyce, a community association board member, mentioned the Twitter account @OrleansWatch, which can be viewed by visiting www.twitter.com/OrleansWatch. The site includes up-to-date information on crime and crime prevention. In the new year, the association hopes to get on board with a new website that will promote sharing safety information with neighbours electronically.

Ladies chorus holiday harmonies are pitch perfect A Garland of Carols to be held Dec. 1 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - With voices raised in perfect harmony, members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus sang a beautiful rendition of Silent Night during their last rehearsal before the group’s Christmas concert, A Garland of Carols, on Dec. 1. The holiday showcase will feature well-known carols, songs of the season and new tunes guaranteed to become audience favourites. “This choir does an amazing, amazing performance of In the Bleak Mid-Winter,” said Bonnie MacDiarmid, who accompanies the 30-member chorus on piano. “The choir arrangement is beautiful. You won’t forget this concert.” “There’s a variety of music,” said Irene Moore, who’s been singing with the choir for the past year. “There are songs for people to sing along. It’ll put them in the Christmas spirit.” The 30-member chorus has been practicing twice a week since September for the show, which takes place at St. Paul’s

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus rehearse for their annual Christmas concert, A Garland of Carols, which will be held Dec. 1 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church. Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. starting at 3 p.m. “They give so many of their hours to rehearse,” said Robert Dueck, who directs the ladies chorus, as well as the Goulbourn Male Chorus. “They have a love of music and enjoy sharing it with others.”

CHORUS

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus stemmed from a group of female singers who were recruited by Dueck to perform a few numbers at the male chorus’s Christmas concert in 2011.

They had such a great time, many of the women expressed an interest in singing together again if the situation arose, said Dueck. So under Dueck’s guidance and direction, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus came to life in 2012. Beginning with 12 members, the en-

semble has grown to 30 women from all over the west end, including Kanata, West Carleton, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Almonte. Stittsville’s Liz Mevel has performed with the group since the 2011 concert with the male chorus. Having sung as a child and in a church choir, she’s enjoyed the chance to continue performing. “I was delighted to be able to do this,” said Mevel. “I love it. It’s so much fun. The selections Robert makes are wonderful.” Moore, who sang in a choir as a young adult, added she learns something new at every practice. “It’s the highlight of my week,” said Moore. “It’s rewarding, making music together.” Aside from the Christmas concert, the women also perform at “sing outs” where they go out into retirement residences or perform at other events. “We’re given the gift of beautiful music and that’s our way to thank the community,” said Mevel. The group also

has a spring concert, which they rehearse for twice a week from February to April. “Everyone works really hard,” said MacDiarmid. She, Moore and Mevel all credit Dueck with making rehearsing enjoyable and knowing how to blend 30 voices seamlessly. The public will have the opportunity to see and hear the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus perform – along with special guests Rory McGlynn, a tenor and soloist, Sandra Allan on cello, Christine Ritchie on trumpet, percussionist Ann Reilly, the Trinity Handbell Ensembles and the Trinity Hilltop Handbell Ringers – on Dec. 1. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Gaia Java Coffee Shop (1300 Stittsville Main St.), Domenic’s Music Store (444 Hazeldean Rd.) and CD Warehouse (499 Terry Fox Dr.). Limited free admission tickets will be available for children 12 and under. “It’s just a really, really special event,” said MacDiarmid. “For me, to be a part of it is more than I’ve ever dreamed of.”

Residents, students ready for housing conversation Jennifer McIntosh and Michelle Nash jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Changing the rules for rentals around Algonquin College could be in response to problems around other schools, said former student association president Dave Corson. College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli has proposed a licensing and demerit point system that would apply to landlords renting out rooms near the college. “I don’t think we have the same issues as they do say around the University of Ottawa,” Corson said, adding he remembers getting nuisance complaints from residents

about student parties while he was president. “I think residents and students need to have a conversation to see what the real issue is,” Corson said, adding the proposal has the potential to come off as anti-student. “I understand residents have a right to enjoy their property, but it’s not like the college popped up last week,” Corson said. “I think any proposal would have to be careful to take in the needs of the residents and students.” Chiarelli said when he proposed the change in regulations the intent was to stop landlords from illegally modifying their homes to cram in more tenants, and is more

about property standards and nuisance complaints than student behaviour. The proposed changes would prevent landlords from renting out to more tenants than the number of rooms in their house. It would also introduce a demerit point system for bylaw complaints about noise, nuisance or property standards and require a code of conduct and maintenance plan be put in place before tenants move in. “There are ads on Kijiji that talk about renting a room in a great party spot,” Chiarelli said. “That’s just poking residents in the eye.” The proposal is a compilation of methods meant to deal

Notice of Completion Carlington Heights Pump Station Site Upgrade Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the Carlington Heights Pump Station Site Upgrade. This project is needed to improve the reliability of water supply to about one third of the City’s distribution system, and to provide additional capacity needed to accommodate future urban growth. This project has been planned as Schedule ‘B’ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The purpose of the Class EA study was to confirm project need and justification, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and potential impacts, and recommend a preferred site upgrade alternative. Copies of the Carlington Heights Pump Station Site Upgrade Environmental Assessment Study Report are available for review at the following locations: City Hall Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel.

with student housing challenges in the Ontario cities of Waterloo, Oshawa and Kitchener. Corson said he has seen the “student ghetto in Kingston” and hopes that any proposal would protect landlords, residents and student tenants equally. “I think this (Chiarelli’s proposal) could do some good,” he said. Corson said while he doesn’t doubt there are parties around campus, the Algonquin College students association has worked with residents in the past. “At the park south of the college there was some trash and needles. We worked with the college’s spirituality centre to go out and clean it up,” Corson said. Corson said now that the college as a co-curricular option that allows volunteer hours to serve as credit, more students will likely want to help out in the neighbourhood around the college. “I would like to see the conversation change from us versus them,” he said. “The current (student association) is continuing to work with the councillor and the city.” Ron Benn, president of the Centrepointe Community Association, said there have been some complaints about homes being rented out in the east part of the neighbourhood, closer to the campus. He said

the community association is in favour of enforcing the provincial rule that prohibits renting out to more tenants than there are rooms in the house. “We just want the rules to be enforced,” Benn said, adding the community association doesn’t differentiate between a homeowner, a working tenant or a student tenant. “Everyone has the right to enjoy their home,” he said. OTTAWA U

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has been working with Chiarelli on a citywide strategy for student housing around colleges and universities. In Sandy Hill, homeowners have long cried foul about the rising student population renting converted homes and apartments. Fleury has yet to see Chiarelli’s proposal for Algonquin, but did say he was pleased more councillors are joining the conversation. “I know he (Chiarelli) has put ideas out there,” Fleury said. “We have to be careful not to take them too literally. I think with a staff report these ideas would be properly flushed out.” The important thing is for council to give staff the proper direction, he added. Fleury’s ward is the only one with a committee that brings together the city, university and nearby communi-

ty: the Town and Gown committee. A city-led project, the committee was created last year to help improve communications between homeowners, students, landlords, the city, police and other wards. “It’s working well; it’s a pilot project and we are definitely interested in expanding that,” Fleury said. Algonquin College president Kent MacDonald said the college plans to talk with residents of Centrepointe, Ryan Farm and Cityview on Dec. 4. He added the college will attempt to emulate the towns and gowns committee. “It’s important to the college to have a good relationship with its neighbours,” he said. MacDonald said 1,050 students live in campus residences, but hundreds or possibly thousands live in the area surrounding the college. “Anything that can improve safety for our students, including the inspection of smoke alarms or limit the number of students in one home,” MacDonald said would be valuable, adding any changes to rental rules could increase demand for the dorm rooms at the college. “Our students do great work in the community and we want to have an open conversation with residents,” MacDonald said. “I look forward to meeting with residents and hearing some of their concerns.”

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will host a candlelit vigil on Dec. 6 for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Candlelit vigil to commemorate victims of violence Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will light 14 candles in memory of the women killed in the Montreal Massacre on Dec. 6. A 15th flame will be lit for all women who are impacted by domestic violence. The annual vigil is held on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women to honour the women killed in 1989 by a psychologically disturbed gunman at École Polytechnique. “The vigil is, first and foremost, to remember the 14 women that were murdered in Montreal,” said Terry Longhorn, volunteer and peer support worker with the resource

centre in the violence against women program. “We light that 15th candle and (place) a red rose for the other women who were murdered or abused.” A list of the names of women who were murdered over the past 12 months will also be read, said Longhorn. ATTENTION TO ISSUE

She said the vigil is important because it brings attention to the issue of violence against women. “When we keep silent it just perpetuates the violence,” said Longhorn. “It makes it easier for someone to come forward – it takes away that stigma of ‘Keep your mouth shut, don’t tell anybody.’”

Longhorn said the number of people attending the annual vigil has grown, as has the number of men. A few years ago, she would only see one or two men in the crowd, she said. For the past five years, members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Carleton University have attended the Kanata vigil; more than 20 members of the fraternity showed their support last year. “The young men, it starts with them,” said Longhorn. “It’s up to them to set the example.” The vigil, an outdoor candlelit ceremony followed by an indoor reception, will be held at the resource centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., starting at 5 p.m.

Police kick-off Festive RIDE season ‘We’re making progress, the numbers are going down but they’re still not tolerable’: officer Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Sgt. Gary Switch of the Ontario Provincial Police talks to a driver during the kickoff of the Festive RIDE campaign on Nov. 22. Police set up a RIDE check point at on-ramp for the Highway 417, asking drivers if they’d been drinking and letting them know about the program. they’d had anything to drink. Gaetan Gendron, a member of MADD, handed drivers red ribbons and thanked them for not drinking and driving. Although the majority of

people make a conscious effort not to drive impaired, the number of those who do are still too high, said Springer. Ottawa police laid three impaired driving charges and is-

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

PET OF THE WEEK Murray is a lively curly-coated 16-month old Labradoodle who lives in the Alta Vista neighbourhood. He’s inquisitive, friendly and VERY energetic. He loves nothing more than letting loose in the dog park.

To meet Sundae and all the other animals available for adoption, visit the Ottawa Humane Society at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. or view the animals online at ottawahumane.ca.

Keep your pet safe this holiday season Curious animals are attracted by the shiny strings and may swallow them, which can lead to serious injury-and expensive surgery. Ornaments hung on lower tree limbs should not be breakable. Also, do not use holiday decorations made of food. 4. Barricade the water trough around your Christmas tree to prevent your pet from drinking the water, which may be dirty and contain pine needles, which are indigestible. 5. Be careful with holiday lights. Secure electrical cords and conceal outlets. Pets may chew on cords; and keep pets away from open flames. 6. Some traditional holiday plants are toxic to pets. Keep your pets away from mistletoe, holly, poinsettias and amaryllis. If ingested, they may cause vomiting, diarrhea and/or other problems. If your pet has ingested something you’re unsure about, call your veterinarian. 7. After gifts have been unwrapped,

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

discard or store wrapping paper and ribbons, which could be dangerous play toys for pets. 8. You’re not the only one excited about holiday gifts. Don’t leave unopened presents unattended. You may find out the hard way that Aunt Jane got you a delicious box of Belgian truffles. Note that chocolate is toxic for cats and dogs. 9. Table scraps and leftovers aren’t just too rich for your pets – bones in the meat could lead to serious complications or death. 10.Ensure that holiday decorations are unreachable by your pet and away from dangerous places, such as the fireplace. 11.Always ensure that your pet is wearing adequate identification. With more frequent comings-and-goings, it’s easy for your pet to slip out of the house unnoticed. 12.On colder days, limit your pet’s exposure to the out-of-doors to short time periods.

The holiday season presents many hazards for pets – from frequent visitors and cold weather to dangerous decorations. Here some tips to keep your companion animals safe, healthy and happy as we enter into holiday party season: 1. Holidays are a busy time for visiting and being visited — you may be away for extended periods or have a house full of guests. If you’re away, have someone check in on your pet or board your pet. Note that your pet’s vaccinations will have to be up-to-date to be accepted at a boarding facility. 2. If you’re entertaining, you may wish to keep your pets in a quiet room away from the noise and activity. If they’re mingling among the guests, make sure you’re monitoring them so that they don’t share your guests’ holiday finger foods. 3. Holiday decorations should be pet-friendly. Avoid using tinsel on trees.

prevalent in our motoring society,” said Springer. “Trained drug recognition experts will be out there too.” Drinking and driving is a mentality, said Springer. Many people make the right choice, going prepared with a designated ride home or the number for a taxi when they go out for an event. “They make the decision at the beginning of the night … they pre-plan their partying, which is great,” he said. “The people that make that conscious effort not to have anything to drink, to make those plans, to make those alternate arrangements and to make sure that they can get home safely or where they’re at is where they’re going to stay for the evening.” But there are others who make the conscious choice to get behind the wheel when they’re impaired. “Drinking and driving is psychological, it’s a decision,” he said. If someone suspects a driver of being impaired they’re directed to call 911.

News - The theme of this year’s Festive RIDE campaign is one of thanks. “Right before the season starts, we want to thank everyone for not drinking and driving,” said Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Dave Springer during the kick-off for the Festive RIDE season. “We want to thank the people that have taken the time and effort to make sure that they don’t drink and drive. And then we want to tell the people that are going to decide to drink and drive, ‘We’ll be looking for you.’” The OPP, along with the Ottawa police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving launched the 2013-14 Festive RIDE campaign on Nov. 22 with a check-point at the Highway 417 eastbound on-ramp at Eagleson Road. The operation will run until after the New Year. Officers stopped vehicles, asking drivers how they were doing and if

impaired driving and 86 drivers were handed a three-day suspension in eastern Ontario last year. “So there’s almost 200 people that didn’t get the message and that was just in that six-week period,” said Springer. “We’re going to top over 1,000 impaired drivers in eastern Ontario in OPP jurisdiction alone and we’ve had multiple fatalities this year resulting from the consumption of alcohol; the deaths of drivers as well as innocent people struck by these drivers.” So far this year, OPP officers have charged around 850 people with impaired driving in eastern Ontario. Last year, the total number was just under 1,500. “We’re making progress, the numbers are going down but they’re still not tolerable,” said Springer. “We’re not having that success.” He said police have also seen a rise in motorists driving under the influence of drugs, which trained officers will also be looking for at RIDE checkpoints. “Drugs are becoming more
