Light rail plan costly for Kanata: Wilkinson Bus rapid transit cut from transportation master plan Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

rail across the city to Orléans, Bayshore and Bowesville by 2023 has left Kanata out in the cold, said Wilkinson.

The project’s $2.5-billion price tag comes at the cost of pulling planned upgrades to Kanata’s bus rapid transit system as well as the delay of sev-

eral roads projects such as the expansion of March Road to four lanes and the realignment of Goulbourn Forced Road.

“We’re putting so much into light-rail there’s not much left for roads,” said Wilkinson.

“But you have to have some service.”

In drawing up a plan to extend light-rail beyond the Greenbelt, city staff neglected to consider the options of bringing the line to Kanata and Barrhaven, choosing instead to extend the service to Orléans, she said.

“There’s been a political decision to take light rail out from the Greenbelt out to Orléans without taking a look at

what (the impact was) on bus rapid transit through the rest of the city,” said Wilkinson.

Wilkinson said she hopes to convince her colleagues to make modifications to the Transportation Master Plan, namely by cancelling the extension of light-rail to Orléans.

Transitway extension in Kanata left out of plan Continued from page 1

“If we can get it deferred (to Orléans), we can get the money for bus rapid transit,” Wilkinson said. “I don’t know if I have the 13 votes yet, but we certainly have quite a few.”

She said she plans to fight the cuts to bus rapid transit in three arenas: at the transit commission on Oct. 24, the transportation committee on Nov. 15 and at council.

“The fourth is at the (On-

tario Municipal Board),” she said. “I would even appeal it.”

TRANSITWAY

Plans to extend the Transitway from Eagleson Road to Canadian Tire Place and south to Fernbank Road in preparation of large developments in west Kanata and the Fernbank lands were left out of the proposed update to the Transportation Master Plan.

If council moves ahead with the proposal, there won’t

be any money for large capital transit projects, such as the Kanata Transitway extension until 2048, according to city staff.

“That whole system is completely gone,” Wilkinson said.

“Why are we planning to take light-rail to Orléans, which already has a good bus system, without having anything going to Kanata at all?”

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said a light-rail extension to Kanata was never planned before 2031 anyway,

but that he was concerned about missing transit and transportation links in Kanata.

“The plan’s not perfect, there’s no doubt about it,” he said. “We have to find ways to fix it.”

SOUTH KANATA

A plan to widen Hope Side Road to four lanes together with construction of several roundabouts to ease the commute for Bridlewood residents and future residents of the Fernbank lands was left out of the updated transportation plan proposal.

“Designers of the plan expect to have 30,000 cars cutting through neighbourhoods of Kanata to find an arterial road to the east,” he said.

“Those 30,000 cars are either going to try to go across Terry Fox or Eagleson or across Stonehaven to get to Richmond if Hope Side Road isn’t done.”

The city has already collected developer fees earmarked for infrastructure improvements to handle that influx of

have the Bayshore to Moodie Transitway,” said Schepers, referring to plans to switch from bus lanes on Hwy. 417 to separate Transitway lanes.

Also included in the Transportation Master Plan is the expansion of Hope Side Road, Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club to Highway 416, as well as the construction of several roundabouts to improve the downtown commute for Bridlewood residents.

The Transportation Master Plan was drawn up using data from 2011, and is open for revision every five years, she added.

“It’s almost impossible to say this plan is exactly what’s going to happen before 2048,” Schepers said.

West-end residents were given the opportunity to comment on the Building a Livable Ottawa initiative during an open house at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Oct. 24, where several senior city staff, including Schepers, were on hand to answer questions.

traffic, he said.

“We (shouldn’t) take that money and put it out in Orléans.”

Council also should also reinstate construction of a new road and bus rapid transit link between Iber Road and Terry Fox, said Hubley, to ease the commute of south Kanata residents.

“They’re expecting those people to drive over to Stittsville and then come over to Hazeldean or Carp Road or some other road to get to the highway,” he said. “That’s not going to work.”

“The plan as it’s been tabled does not meet the needs of Kanata so we need to make some changes to it,” said Hubley. “I think the plan is good, we just have some modifications to make.”

West-end commuters will benefit from extending light rail from Lincoln Fields to Bayshore , as well as from improved bus service on March Road, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers.

“For Kanata, one of the big benefits is they will be able to

Master Plan and consider extending light-rail to Kanata.

“We in Kanata and Stittsville, the entire west end, have been excluded from the light-rail plan,” he said. “If it’s going to be built all the way to the east, it can be built all the way to the west as well.”

Muirhead has asked Schepers to cost out a plan to bring rail to Kanata.

Most of the dozens of people who attended the open house weren’t saying much, simply asking questions of city staff, said Barb Backland, a city community consultation specialist.

“They’re just taking it all in,” she said.

The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Council has the final say on Nov. 26.

There is still one public information session left to take place in Orléans: Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex Covent Glen Room, 1490 Youville Dr.

The Livable Ottawa initiative is an effort to concurrently update the three major master plans that govern how the city grows up to 2031: the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan (including plans for cycling and pedestrian routes) and the infrastructure master plan for water and sewer works.

Qiao Yan, a Kanata Lakes woman, said she was disappointed Kanata wasn’t included in the light-rail proposal.

“For me it’s very difficult,” said Yan, a student at Carleton University. “Every day I need three hours on the road.”

Shirley Penner, a Mogan’s Grant resident, said she’s worried about traffic on March Road with an estimated influx of more than 7,000 people in a development north of Klondike Road.

“It’s getting hard to get out of Morgan’s Grant,” she said. “If you put in 7,000 people it’s going to be impossible.”

With files from Laura Mueller

Light-rail plan unfair to Kanata Dear Mayor Watson,

It was with disappointment that we in the west end of the city noted you have chosen not to extend the light-rail line to Kanata, despite having extended the line into Orléans.

I am writing to ask you to reconsider this exclusion.

The plan you have outlined would be completed by 2023, and states that major capital investment in transit would not be possible again until after the year 2048. That, sir, you must surely agree, is, at the very least, unfair.

To think that a large portion of the city will be able to enjoy a comfortable, efficient, and predictable light-rail ride to downtown, while Kanata, Stittsville and all other west-end communities will still be toiling on overcrowded buses, is simply untenable.

Mr. Mayor, you have made the case that Kanata will receive additional park-and-rides and additional bus rapid transit. Perhaps Kanata and other west-end residents would instead prefer investment be made in stretching

the light-rail line to the Highway 417/Eagleson Park-and-Ride, or the Canadian Tire Centre.

You also stated in your adDr. Michelle Utting Dr. Deborah Gaon dress that the purpose of the Smordin Dr. Sandra Turgeon Dr. Lesley Jennifer Young line’s extension into Orléans was Welcomes You and Your Pets to boost economic development.

News - As the countdown to Christmas and the holiday season draws nearer, the Kanata Food Cupboard is looking for people to play Santa by adopting a family.

Every year, the food cupboard provides a full holiday meal, as well

wouldn’t have anything for Christmas without (the hampers).”

She added that the response for angels – where people take a cardboard angel and purchase a gift based on the gender and/or age written on it – has been great and is hoping for a similar response for the adopt-a-family program.

Waters added they have requests for hampers from singles and families of up to 10 people.

“We have a number of families that have amalgamated together because it’s cheaper to live in the same house,” she said.

COUPON EVENT

Adopting a family through the food cupboard is a great way for an office, a family or a group of people to get involved and spread some holiday happiness, said Waters.

The number of people in a family, as well as ages and genders, are provided as a guideline for purchases.

No names are given.

“We allow you to prepare the whole hamper for the family,” she said. “It makes it a little more personalized.”

She said she’s seen some groups get so involved with preparing hampers that they end up providing enough food and gifts to support two families.

“Sometimes a group collects too much (so) they adopt another family,” said Waters.

Requests to adopt-a-family should be in by Dec. 8 and deliveries will be made on Dec. 21 and 22.

But Waters added she would never

turn anyone away.

“We will not refuse anybody,” she said. “I’m not going to let a family go without Christmas.”

To participate in the adopt-a-family program, email Waters at coord@ kanatafoodcupboard.ca. For more information on the program, visit kanatafoodcupboard.ca/adopt-afamily/.

Waters added they accept donations of Canadian Tire money and gift cards for grocery stores to help towards purchasing items for holiday hampers.

To donate to the food cupboard online, visit kanatafoodcupboard. ca (donors can include a message about where they would like their funds used). To donate by cheque, be sure to note the money is for the adopt-a-family program. Cheques can be forwarded to: Kanata Food Cupboard, 20 Young Rd., Kanata, ON, K2L 1W1.

Kanata resident celebrates 101st birthday Planning for 102nd party already in the works Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Eileen Johnstone celebrated her 101st birthday with tea and chocolate cake, surrounded by her friends and neighbours, on Oct. 16.

Having lived more than 10 decades, the Walden Village resident said the best thing about turning 101 is “That I’m still alive.”

Johnstone was born and raised in Ottawa, growing up in a house on Preston Street in Little Italy. Her parents immigrated to Canada from Ireland and she said there was a fantastic mix of people in her neighbourhood.

She said she’s also seen many changes in the city she calls home over the years.

“At one point, we had street cars,” she said.

“When they took those away, a lot of people weren’t happy.”

The city’s street cars were replaced with buses in 1959.

“I can’t think of any one thing,” she said, when asked about what stands out most in her mind from the past 101 years.

BIT OF HISTORY

Johnstone met her husband, Alexander Christie Johnstone, before he left to fight in the Second World War. “They met at a dance in Toronto,” said her son, Alexander George Johnstone, 63.

Johnstone was a quality inspector in a production line where artillery shells were made, while her to-be husband was training at Canadian Forces Base Borden. After the dance, she went back to work and Alexander Christie travelled overseas.

Eileen Johnstone receives a gift from a friend during her 101st birthday celebration at Walden Village Retirement Residence on Oct. 16.

“He proposed to her by letter in 1945,” said her son. The two were married the following the year.

“She’s a wonderful person – caring, smart,” said her son. “She’s been a wonderful person all her life.”

Ten years ago, Johnstone and her husband moved into Walden Village Retirement Residence in Kanata Lakes. One year later he passed away at the age of 91.

VERY LOVED

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

One of Johnstone’s favourite activities is playing bingo and cards, according to many of her friends. It’s where Jane Grant and Janine Volstad met the centenarian.

“She has a terrific sense of humour,” said Volstad.

“And she never complains,” added Grant.

“When she was asked her secret of longevity, she said, ‘Good parents and good living,’” said Volstad.

A number of other residents attended the celebration to wish Johnstone a happy birthday.

“I want to be like her,” said Jacqui Haffner, Walden Village’s activity director. “She’s still very sharp … She’s very loved.

“She’s an amazing person.”

Both Haffner and Alexander George said plans are in the works for her 102nd birthday next year.

“For 102, she wants a big (party),” said Alexander George, adding she only wanted a small affair with her friends this year.

“She figures that’s really a good record.”

City tackles building better suburbs Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

The city wants to guide the building of more complete suburban communities that make efficient use of utilities while serving areas that are intensifying the fastest, said Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of planning policy development and urban design.

“This is where we are getting our growth … The suburbs are unique,” Snedden said. “We need to figure out what’s the best way to make it liveable for people.”

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

looking to be more creative.

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

Neil Thomson, director of planning for the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, said he wasn’t impressed with the Building Better Suburbs process. He attended one of three concurrent meetings held in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans on Oct. 17.

“It’s not about complete communities,” he said. “It’s about how many homes and cars we can crush into a small area.”

Thompson said the city should take a more holistic approach to building suburban communities.

“They’re asking us to look

at solving individual problems in isolation,” he said. “Let’s look at a suburb as a whole community.”

Andrea Sells, an Old Barrhaven resident who previously worked in real estate, said the dense new suburbs being built now are becoming “simply unliveable.”

People often don’t have a good sense of the size of the home they are buying before it’s built and once it’s constructed and people can see how small it is, it’s very difficult to resell, she said.

“All those plans look wonderful and then once you move in, it’s smaller than you envisioned,” Sells said.

People shouldn’t discount market demand for those compact homes, said Sheldon Dattenberger, a consultant from Delcan who is working on the project for the city.

“If there wasn’t a market

for them, they wouldn’t build them,” he said.

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

Donna Hinde, the consultant from the Planning Partnership who ran the session, asked if the participants thought providing more rear laneways would be a solution to the parking problem, but that didn’t go over well with participants.

“They are an eyesore and a haven for criminal activity,” said Richard Stead, president of the Cedarhill Community Association. “It’s something that goes back to the horseand-buggy era. Why do we need to have them in the suburbs?”

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

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

Daniel Coates lives in Fraser Fields and said the onstreet parking situation in his neighbourhood is getting out of control. Residents park on the street to leave their driveways open for children to play and park their vehicles along both sides of his street instead, which creates a narrow and unsafe street that even snowplows can’t traverse, he said.

“You drive through these new neighbourhoods and it’s like driving through a parking lot,” Stead said.

Coates was intrigued by

BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND

Three concurrent meetings on Building Better Suburbs are held in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans on Oct. 17.

Hinde’s suggestion of choosing one side of the street for parking and potentially switching sides on a scheduled timeframe, such as every two months. That’s done in many Ontario municipalities, she said.

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

Brad Nixon, a Findlay Creek resident, said he hopes the city will encourage the placement of sidewalks adjacent to driveways.

“If they build a sidewalk partway up your driveway and leave a boulevard space between the road and the sidewalk you can’t park two cars in the driveway,” he said.

“People are forced to park on the street.”

Many participants recognized the value of sidewalks,

but concluded they shouldn’t be everywhere.

“On a major roadway you’d be crazy not to have them,” said Eric Stephen, a resident of Old Barrhaven. “In an ideal world they should be on all streets,” but that’s probably not practical or affordable, he added.

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

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

Claude Gagné, a director with the Convent Glen-Orléans Wood Community Association, said she would like to see some of the elements for new suburbs retrofitted into existing communities like Convent Glen.

“We would like the city to consider older suburbs, where in fact, there are still things that need to be added to make them more vibrant neighbourhoods,” she said. “We have big trees, we have nice parks, but they’re completely empty.”

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

The consultation will continue for 10 months. Early in the new year, the city will release proposed draft standards based on the feedback.

The plan is expected to be considered by the city’s planning committee next June.

Transit an essential school service

A

plan to fund bus service for the Ottawa public school board’s high school students is a welcome change to an inequitable system.

The board’s committee of the whole approved a plan to provide bus service for an estimated 5,300 eligible high school students last week.

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

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

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

It’s hardly an original idea. The English Catholic board already provides bus service for its high school students. The plan is a natural next step for the board to take after combining with the Catholic board to

streamline its bus system under the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

The board is hoping the change will improve attendance at some schools and address an “inequity� caused by the lack of bus service in urban parts of Ottawa.

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

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

Granted, it’s a gamble. Superintendent of facilities Mike Carson said the board is currently overspending its transportation budget by $2.8 million – tacking on the cost of bus service for high school students would bring that shortfall to $7 million.

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

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

Just another routinely awesome occurrence

I

was in a restaurant the other day and the guy asked me if I wanted anything to drink. Just water, I said. “Awesome,� he said. “I’ll be right back with your water.� “That’s super,� I said.

And then I thought about the conversation.

Was it really awesome that I’d ordered a glass of water? Was it really super that he was going to bring it?

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

Speaking of which, he points out that “hilarious� is now used to describe almost anything. “I saw Bob today.� “That’s hilarious.�

And he really gets going on the word “amazing,� which thankfully I didn’t use to describe the water when it finally arrived. “What if Jesus comes down from the sky ... ?� he asks. “What are you gonna call that? You used ‘amazing’ on a basket of chicken wings.�

Maybe it comes from sports broadcasting, where every event is spectacular, thrilling and sensational, if it is not tragic, and there is not a moment in any game which cannot be described as crucial.

A couple of weeks ago, Ontario customers lost their Rogers wireless service for several hours, an event that received ample news coverage. “It was hell,� one subscriber said.

Really? What would starvation be like?

Wherever language inflation comes from, we’ve absorbed it and employ it daily. It probably doesn’t do much harm except, as noted, that when something truly awesome happens we don’t have a word for it we haven’t already used many times.

Swearing is a bit like that too. Those of us who practice it often find that we’ve used the strongest terms possible on some trivial thing like a nail that won’t go in straight. There’s nothing stronger to use on something truly horrible, like Carling Avenue.

Language inflation has sparked some countervailing trends, such as the use of reverse imagery among the hipper segment of the population. Something good is bad. Something really good is sick. But inflation sets in here as well: things are often described as sick when they aren’t even bad.

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

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

You hear this often in reference to athletes and musicians. Among jazz musicians, the supreme compliment that can be bestowed on another is: “She can play.�

That’s good, because it leaves a lot in

reserve, in case she can really play. But I’m not sure it can be applied in all situations. For example, could I have said: “You can pour� when the server brought the water?

And later, when the server asks the table how the meal is, could you say: “He can cook,� rather than: “This is awesome�?

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

These are incredible problems, you have to admit.

fter the hoopla around this month’s throne speech, you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s a federal election around the corner.

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

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

The throne speech is meant to lay out the government’s agenda for the next session of Parliament. In the wake of the extended summer recess triggered by Harper, yet again, proroguing Parliament a few months ago, Canadians (well, politics-watchers) were waiting, in anticipation for something good. The government must have needed the extra recess time to come up with something truly innovative, right? They must have needed the extra time to tackle some of those really tough issues like pork-barrelling in the senate and health care and consumer debt. wBut no. Instead of addressing many of the serious and long-term threats to our economy and collective wellbeing, the speech read more like a shopping list of disparate campaign topics. Forget healthcare, the environment

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse and Aboriginal people – these things are not uber-important to our government. But cable bundling and cell phone fees, these short-term wedge issues are sure to get votes. And these are now topping the list of our government’s priorities.

The speech employed some lovely rhetoric, sure to please almost every Canadian.

Delivered by Governor General David Johnston it was filled with distinctly partisan, but ultra-pleasing language – so much so, I’m surprised he agreed to read it at all. “Canadians work hard for their money…” “Canadian families work hard to make ends meet.”

But then again, who doesn’t like hardworking families?

Another pleaser was the promise to reduce red tape in government, particularly at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Who wouldn’t like CRA dealings to be less cumbersome? And yet this empty promise – largely immeasurable – will unlikely amount to anything but a few converts to the Conservative fold.

They bragged yet again about the cutting the GST by two percentage points, a move that most economists see as one of the most costly political moves the Conservatives have ever made. Following the budget release in March, the Parliamentary budget officer reported that every percentage point cut had cost the government $7 billion per year since 2006. That’s a lot of lost revenue.

They boasted about creating

jobs for Canadians – no mention of the fact that most of the jobs created in Canada over the past five years have been low-paying, part-time positions, mostly in the service sector.

And never mind that older workers – those over 55 – are now displacing young people in the labour force or that job growth still doesn’t begin to match the growth in the labour force. Sadly, for all the hoopla, the speech was so typical of our democratic institutions these days – short on substance and long on rhetoric. But then, anyone who can read between lines can see this speech wasn’t so much about resetting the government’s agenda as it was about the next election.

I assure you – provided politicians are trustworthy and keep their words – we’ve got at least two years before we head to the polls again to elect members of Parliament. Expect to see more of those Conservative Party blue placards in the meantime.

Don’t worry too hard about the government using your tax dollars to campaign between elections, though. Take comfort knowing they’ve managed to get you a really great deal on your next cell phone contract.

But perhaps I’m being too harsh. There was one line in the speech that offered a ring of authenticity: “We know families are better placed to make spending decisions than governments.” Based on what the speech told us about the government’s impending priorities, that’s very likely true.

Correction A story in last week’s paper indicated the city plans to widen Prince of Wales Drive between Colonnade Road and Strandherd Drive. While a study has been completed that recommends the full widening and that entire stretch

appears in the city’s longterm “network plan,” the city plans to fund the widening of only the section between Colonnade and Hunt Club Road in the last phase of the transportation master plan, between 2026 and 2031.

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

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

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

The final report is available for public review at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/carp-snow-disposal-facility-0 City of Ottawa Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, K1P 1J1 Ottawa Public Library, Stittsville Branch, 1637 Stittsville Main Ottawa ON K2S 1A9 (telephone 613-836-3381 for hours) This project is being planned in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2011). If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City contact below.

Space shortfall stalls clothing drive Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - A group of residents who organized a free clothing bank for people in need have hit a wall in finding a permanent location.

The first Threads of Love event, held in June at the Community Life Church in Beaverbrook, drew a large crowd, said Glen Cairn resident Meggan Larson, who created the program. It also attracted hundreds of articles of donated clothing.

“The people that came were so blown away and just completely shocked that there was no cost, there were no strings attached,” said Larson. “The people that came got a lot of stuff, which is really helpful for them. There was just more than we could ever have given away in one day.”

Although the first event was a success, the group hasn’t been able to accept new donations or set up another event due to a lack of space, said Larson.

Right now, the clothes are being stored in a location that isn’t very accessible.

“I can’t add anything to it; I can’t go in and sort through anything. It’s the way (it is) but it’s not really a good situation,” said Larson. “People are constantly asking to donate more clothing and I have no where to put it.

“We do need more accessible storage; that’s our most immediate need so I can stop turning people away.”

She said the group is hoping to find something permanent in the city where clothes can be stored and sorted and perhaps where they could set up a storefront run by volunteers.

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be Kanata. We just want to have something permanent,” Larson said. “Like a store you could go in … but everything is free.”

SUBMITTED

Meggan Larson, far left, the creator of the Threads of Love clothing bank, has been unable to accept donations or hold events due to a lack of storage space.

She added that a trailer would also be a good alternative.

“I could have the clothing right at my house. We have the driveway space for sure,” she said.

When Larson first came up with the idea, she called various shelters and organizations but was told they only take certain types of clothing for women and babies.

“Unfortunately the shelters are very limited on what they can take,” she explained, adding that she wanted to provide clothing for all age ranges and genders, from babies to seniors.

She put out a call for clothing donations with information about what she was hoping to accomplish and was completely overwhelmed with the response.

“The amount of clothing that came in was crazy; it was enough to stock an entire store,” she said. “They would rather donate to something that’s going to give it away for free.”

She also had about 20 people volunteer, helping to sort the clothing, set up the event and tear it down.

“It’s a ton of work to have to continue to put it up and take it R0012371669_1024

down, which is why it would be easier if we had a permanent location. We could do it once then rotate clothes out,” she said.

However, if the group doesn’t find an alternate solution, Larson said they are looking at hosting another event at the Beaverbrook church.

GRATEFUL

Larson met a number of people during the first event who were grateful for the assistance.

She said she encountered a father of six children who ended up leaving with two full bags of clothing and a single mother of four who was hoping to find clothes for her newborn. Larson told all the children to pick out whatever they wanted.

“They were just so excited,” she said. “It was really touching to be a part of that, just to see the impact it had on the people who came.

“To have something that’s there completely run by volunteers … at least takes that burden off so they don’t have to worry about where they’re going to get clothing.”

Larson came up with the idea after a group of local moms helped her family after she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer – shortly after giving birth to her second child. The moms provided clothing for her family when they were unable to purchase it themselves.

“Like with any project that we do, all the credit goes to Jesus,” said Larson, adding Threads of Love is open to people of all faiths. “Whoever needs help gets help, that’s how Jesus would be; we don’t discriminate against anyone.”

Kanata Knights Football Club

Sports - The Kanata Knights Mosquito team ended this year’s season with a 26-6 loss to the Cornwall Wildcats during game one of the playoffs at Joe St. Denis Field on Oct. 20.

THE KONECNY CONNECTION

The Knights put up a fight during a game that crisscrossed the gridiron the entire time.

The Knights offence put it all out on the field with great blocking from Dylan McEvoy, Trevor Schwab and Brad Simser that let Joe Gatto and Kasseem Ferdinand find bullets from quarterback Jared Valentino.

The offensive running game was solid with some great legwork from Adam Ogilvie and Devaughn Blackwood but unfortunately not enough openings presented themselves for the offense to capitalize on.

See first overall OHL draft pick TRAVIS KONECNY and this year’s young, exciting 67’s team take on the KINGSTON FRONTENACS.

The Knights defence kept to usual form and dug in deep and held the line with Joe Brennan, William White, Link Gilmour, the Campeau twins Andrew and Braydon, Riley Gilmour and Kieron Jackson making the Wildcats fight for every inch, while Colby Fata, Jack McCrady, Jayden Lemieux and Ben Yee punished their O-line’s openings.

The Knights end the year with great memories and a hearty thank you to the coaches and support team.

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

Carleton University will host the team’s spring 2014 North American Soccer League games at Keith Harris Stadium, just off Bronson Avenue.

The 10-game spring season runs from April 5 to June 7 – at Carleton – before the league

takes mid-season break for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Construction at Lansdowne is scheduled to be finished in time for the fall season; a 20game stretch that runs from July 19 to Nov. 15.

“Our fans will relish the chance to turn Keith Harris into a cauldron of fan support for Fury FC when NASL soccer arrives in our city,” said John Pugh, Fury FC president, in a press release.

“We promise to field an exciting, competitive team that will provide our fans with en-

tertaining and attractive soccer.”

Carleton University is walking distance from the team’s eventual home on Bank Street.

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

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

Homes for the Holidays just around the corner!

by Robert Greenslade The eleventh annual Homes for the Holidays tour on November 15, 16 and 17, is only days away and anticipation is building for this very special event. The tour, now its eleventh year, supports end-of-life care programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, including those at the May Court Hospice.

“Homes for the Holidays will help us improve hospice services in Ottawa and reach our goal of increasing the number of area beds,” noted Lisa Sullivan, Executive Director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The tour is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features six outstanding homes in the neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park, Rothwell Heights, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Island Park Drive.

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

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

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

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

A “Christmas Morning Wonder” (Tinseltown offers the Christmas decorative magic here) awaits visitors to 8 Thornton Avenue, just steps from bustling Bank Street. It’s interesting to note that the homeowner and her father worked closely to design the exterior and interior of this sun-drenched home.

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

And visitors will not want to miss 512 Island Park Drive, decorated by Michael Courdin Design, for the “New Year’s Eve Celebration”! This contemporary home features many windows which give the house a strong connection to the outdoors.

Participants will also want to visit the completely revamped Holiday PopUp Shop, this year located at the Official Residence of the Irish Ambassador (291 Park Road). Visitors will be able to get a head start on their holiday shopping and browse the children’s corner, affordable artwork, jewellery, seasonal décor, and delicious preserves prepared by some of the region’s top food purveyors (and visitors can pause for a coffee or tea too). And the best news is you won’t have to go far for tickets! Tickets are available at 25 outlets across the city and via PayPal too.

Man charged after dog hit with shovel News - An Ottawa man faces several charges and remains in police custody after an 18-month-old dog was beaten and left for dead in a Manor Park garbage dumpster.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16 police were called to Manor Park after witnesses reported seeing a man repeatedly kick a young female LabradorShepherd mix and then beat her with a rake and shovel.

Those who tried to intervene on behalf of the injured animal were threatened by the man who was brandishing a rake, according to a release issued by police.

Police located the man and arrested him without incident.

The young dog, named Breezy, was rushed to the Ottawa Humane Society where she was treated with pain medication. She suffered traumatic wounds and deep cuts to her head. She survived the night and was listed in stable but critical condition on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Veterinarians are concerned about potential brain swelling and it is still unclear whether the dog will survive the attack.

The Ottawa Humane Society is assisting police with its ongoing investigation.

The man, 24, of has been charged with criminal harassment, intimidation, two counts of assault with a weapon, injuring or endangering an animal and willfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.

He appeared in court Thursday, Oct. 17 and was remanded into custody.

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

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

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

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

The launch of Ottawa’s Presto system was delayed last year after being plagued with technical issues. Now, the major complaint from users is the 24 to 24-hour delay between when they manually reload their balance or renew monthly pass online and when it will be recognized by the Presto system when they tap their pass on a bus.

Manconi re-iterated that OC Transpo is working with Presto’s parent agency, Metrolinx, to shrink that time window. A four-hour delay is the target, but Manconi couldn’t say when that might happen.

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

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

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

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

If riders want to pay for trips individually, they will have to use the Para Purse feature for Para Transpo and switch to Presto’s e-purse, tickets or cash on conventional transit. However, Para Transpo will begin accepting Presto cards as a monthly pass if the rider can show the printed receipt verifying a pass was purchased.

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

Procession plan addresses funeral safety concerns jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - As life changes, so does the business of dealing with its end, said Kelly Funeral Home general manager John Laframboise.

“It used to be in the country or small towns people would pull over for a funeral procession,” he said.

“But now it’s harder to recognize.”

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

Corrine Lavictoire, president of Professional Processions, said a hearse used to be the most common visual cue of a cortege, but with more and more people opting for cremation instead of burial, there isn’t the need to have the larger vehicle available for the casket.

“A lead car is typically a sedan,” Laframboise said, adding police escorts to help mourners get to their destination have become an unaffordable expense for most people.

Enter the Professional Procession emblem.

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

lead car in a procession.

“It wasn’t well publicized though and never really went anywhere,” he said.

Lavictoire said with society moving at such a fast pace, we lose some of the tradition and ceremony that once went with a funeral.

“I think it’s important to validate life,” she said. “And making the procession recognizable allows

drivers to pause and give quiet respect.”

A crash in Chicago this August, where one person was killed and seven people hospitalized while in a procession, highlighted the need for safety measures.

“Too often the public can’t recognize a funeral procession, causing difficulties in keeping the line together and potentially causing

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

Sign clutter around the crossing will be reduced and replaced with signs that emphasize the slower speed limit. The city will cut down dying trees and vegetation and move viable trees to other locations to improve sightlines, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick.

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

The city is also working with Via Rail to add an additional blinking warning signal in the northbound direction that would go off several seconds in advance of a train crossing. The cost of adding that signal and the timeline for it to be installed and synched with Via’s signaling system are not yet known, Kirkpatrick said.

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

The city came up with the changes after receiving observations from the board during a private briefing on Oct. 11. The observations were based on evidence gathered from a

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

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

Roughly 530 in-service buses cross the rail tracks at that location

each weekday.

The city is not planning to apply any of these safety improvements to other 74 level crossings in the city.

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

City councillors resisted an effort by city staff to take over authority for exempting large, city-building projects from a bylaw restricting late-night noise.

Councillors keep control over construction noise exemptions laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

Bylaw chief Linda Anderson proposed changes that would have seen her staff sign off to allow late-night noise on major city construction projects that have a large impact on roads and traffic – as well as large private construction projects that could impact city streets and services, like the Rideau Centre expansion.

“Residents understand that it’s going on and it’s a necessary evil,” Anderson said, adding that bylaw services doesn’t receive a lot of complaints about construction noise.

The city already allows exemptions to the noise bylaw when the work is deemed critical or urgent, such as the continuous pouring of concrete through the night at Lansdowne. But those cases required the approval of the ward’s councillor – something Anderson wanted to forgo. Instead, the city’s community and protective services committee decided to keep the requirement for the councillor’s consent. If the councillor disagrees, the matter would be brought to city council for a decision.

There are still some restrictions on how loud the noise could be and how long it could continue – for not more than eight hours in a single day and not for durations of more than 11 days in a row.

Committee chairman Coun. Mark Taylor said council has approved a lot of large city-building projects, so he could see the rationale for the proposed changes.

“There does seem to be a need for a more fluid process for these exemptions,” the Bay Ward councillor said.

But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli blasted the changes, saying they would be similar to “streamlining” the city tried to undertake for the site-plan process several years ago.

Councillors approved the change

thinking they’d be kept in the loop when staff approved a plan, he said, but now their offices are only being told a couple days before site plans are approved.

“The notification around this place has dwindled to the point when it’s just in time,” Chiarelli said.

It’s “fantasy” to think the city hasn’t dealt with construction on this scale before, Chiarelli said, and the real issue is removing the ability for communities and councillors to have input into noise exemptions.

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

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

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

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

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

Neitzel said the bus passes will cost $1,600 for the school year.

“Despite all the information nights I attended before my kids went to high school, there was no communication sent home that I would have to pay for their transportation,” she said,

adding walking a safe route – away from heavily forested areas would be 7.2 km each way and take more than an hour.

“There’s really no option, they’d have to bus,” Neitzel said.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board currently buses all high school children that live more than 3.2 km away from their home school.

The Ottawa Student Transit Authority is currently working with the public board on a effectiveness and efficiency review that would upgrade their transit needs from “moderate” to “moderate to high.” The upgrade would come with increased funding for transportation. The review – which OSTA general manager Vicky Kyriaco said gives the transportation consortium specific guidelines on increasing efficiences – would be done in 2014.

“One of the ways we have to do that is align the two board’s transportation eligibility guidelines,” she said, adding looking at school bell times and new technology to optimize mileage are some of the ways the consortium could find efficiencies.

The motion, put forth by Orleans area trustee John Shea and Beacon

Hill-Cyrville trustee Katie Holtzhauer, asked staff to consider the possibility of starting to bus high school students in September 2014.

Superintendent of facilities Mike Carson said the board is currently overspending its transportation budget by $2.8 million. Adding in the high school students would bring that total to $7 million.

“But if we get increased funding because of the E and E review then we would receive $6.3 million in ongoing funding,” he said, adding that would reduce the shortfall to $700,000.

Carson said the staff recommendation was to start busing high school students in the fall and use the board’s reserves to come up with the shortfall.

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

The new criteria would mean transporting an additional 5,300 students.

“I think this is an important piece of harmonization (the transportation eligibility guidelines),” Holtzhauer said. “We have heard from one family that the financial impact is real.

The time is now.”

Shea thanked his east-end colleague for her help in drafting the motion and said the public board could lose students to the Catholic board unless the change is made.

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

Lynn Scott, trustee for West Carleton, Kanata and Stittsville, said she was on the board when the decision was made to stop busing high school students in 1998. She added she’s please to see the change, but the board should also consider eligibility for busing students from rural areas to special program schools – like Canterbury High School or Colonel

By Secondary School.

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

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

“I find that there are preconceived notions about where need is in this city,” she said. “I can tell you that there’s a food cupboard in Barrhaven and I doubt it’s there for fun.”

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

“It can be tough to admit to the principal, the vice-principal and the secretary that you can’t afford,” she said.

To implement busing for high school students, staff would need direction from the board by the end of November.

The board was set to vote on the issue on Oct. 22.

Rules will make infill homes smaller City proposes lower building heights, consistent backyards and balcony limits for new urban homes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

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

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

Homes in denser R4 zones would shrink to 10 and 8.5 metres from the currently allowed 11 and 9.5 metres.

In less dense single-family home neighbourhoods, which

have R1 zoning, the height would drop from 11 to 8.5 metres.

The change would mean lower ceilings and shorter storeys – three metres – but not fewer storeys. The building code calls for each storey to be 2.6 m in height.

“We are trying to accomplish a better fit within the permitted uses,” said Alain Miguelez, program manager of intensification and zoning. “At least the mass is closer.”

The old height limits were an artifact of amalgamation, said Steve Gauthier, the planner leading the infill study. The city simply took all of the building heights permitted in zones from the formers municipality and adopted their average as the rule for Ottawa.

“These (new height rules) are based on what we see in the field,” Gauthier said.

Another change would prohibit balcony or staircases from projecting into the space re-

quired for side or backyards.

Creating more consistent back yard sizes is another goal the city heard loud and clear from residents who participated in the consultations.

This will be accomplished by changing how the city defines “setbacks,” the technical term for creating yards. For small lots of less than 15 m deep, the backyard must be the same as the height of the building or four metres – whichever is larger. Previously, the rules allowed developers to choose the smaller yard option.

The calculation is less straightforward for larger lots.

For lots between 15 and 29 m deep, the backyard setback must be the larger of either the building’s height or 25 per cent of the lot depth.

Lots between 30 and 45 m would have to have rear-yard setbacks of the largest of the height of the building, 25 per cent of the lot depth or the lot depth minus 22.5 m from the front lot line.

That concerned Rakan Abushaar, one of the principles of Black Iris Developments, which converts a lot of old homes in the city’s core into apartments.

Putting a specific distance setback on larger lots would mean a homebuilder couldn’t construct a proportionately larger dwelling on a larger lot, meaning homes built on lots 30 m or 40 m deep would be the same size.

That would lead to a loss of property value for people trying to sell lots of that size, Abushaar said.

Gauthier said the goal is to have a consistent pattern of backyards. He will be meeting with a group of homebuilders to get additional feedback from their perspective.

Some of the residents at the Sandy Hill meeting were concerned the new rules could do

little to prescribe the look of new homes. While planners have heard from people that the architecture of infill they’ve seen is an “insult to their neighbourhood,” Miguelez said, the city cannot legally require a building to look a certain way.

It can, however, make “strong suggestions,” though urban design guidelines, which the city is likely setting itself up to update, he said.

But there is something the city could do to prevent big “boxes” from being built that max out the building envelope on a lot, said Old Ottawa East resident Paul Goodkey.

He suggested allowing more flexibility for developers to

move around the mass allowed for their buildings by adding a smaller section, sort of like an addition, onto the building instead of making it a tall box.

Gauthier was intrigued by the feedback, but noted that idea would conflict with the goal of consistent back yards.

The planning committee is expected to consider the changes in March of 2014.

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

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Residents try to wrap heads around Liveable Ottawa Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

City Councillor, Kanata North NEW TRANSPORTATION PLAN HAS SOME WEAK POINTS Last week I pointed out the benefit of having Light Rail to Bayshore together with a new bus transitway from Bayshore to Moodie.

The problem with the transit plan is the complete elimination of the transitway from March toTerry Fox that was previously scheduled for 2021, as well as elimination of the section to the Canadian Tire Centre and Fernbank until after 2031! At the same time light rail will go through the Greenbelt to Orleans. A transit system needs to consider all parts. There are bus only lanes to Orleans, Barrhaven and Kanata through the Greenbelt but only in Kanata do bus lanes end when they reach the community rather than extending into it. The route planned up March Road is less important but it is included – but only as far as Carling after which it will be on the road with traffic.

This needs to be rethought so the Kanata-Stittsville area, which is the fastest growing part of the City, has some transit infrastructure for its residents.

Other parts of the transportation plan deal with roads, cycling lanes and sidewalks. In Kanata North a new park and ride for 300 cars at Terry Fox and Innovation is being funded in 2014. Road work in Phase 1 (2014-2019) includes extending Campeau Drive to Didsbury, an underpass under Terry Fox from the Centrum, improvement to the Didsbury intersection at Terry Fox, and construction of Klondike Road from March to Sandhill to urban standards, including sidewalks. Until Klondike is constructed it will become one way with a pedestrian way along one side to enhance safety (until late 2015 or early 2016). In Phase 2 (2020-2025) Kanata Ave will be widened from Highway 417 to Campeau. The plan is silent about completing the Goulbourn Forced Road to Terry Fox and widening March Road in the expansion lands, both of which were formerly included.

Some cycling routes are included. In Kanata North that includes bike lanes on Carling from March Road to Herzberg and Terry Fox from the 417 to south of Campeau in Phase 1; Flamborough, Hines, Innovation, Herzberg east of March, Legget south of Solandt and west of March and Terry Fox west of March in Phase 2; and a shared use lane in Kanata North in phase 3.

Several sidewalk projects are also being recommended, and I was told the only public consultation was the open house last week! I will hold consultations on specific sidewalks prior to their installations so residents will know what is planned for their front yards. Sidewalks are proposed for Klondike, March, Teron, Varley, Halton, Leacock, Knudson and Brady. In some cases (e.g.

Leacock and Varley), sidewalks are proposed for both sides of the road, which may not be appropriate and need to be discussed.

The plan also includes land use policies, infrastructure requirements and more. For details, go to the City website at http://ottawa.ca/ en/city-hall/public-consultations/building-liveable-ottawa-officialplan-and-master-plan-review.

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

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

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

“How do we find our place in

Citizens for Safe Cycling president Hans Moor points out how the city’s proposed cycling plan for the next 20 years will be a boon for cyclists. this complicated document?” he said.

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

with what they saw.

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

Draft Budget 2014 Public Consultation The City of Ottawa’s 2014 draft tax-supported budget will be tabled on Wednesday, October 23. In addition to ongoing social media consultation and registering as a public delegation at a Standing Committee budget review meeting, the public has the opportunity to attend one of four regional bilingual public consultations hosted by the City.

Those components were all there, Sheppard said, but his question now is whether, how and when those ideas would be implemented. Sheppard would also like to see more frequent reporting on pedestrian safety and better monitoring and action on dangerous intersections.

The Centretown community association knows intensification will continue to densify its neighbourhood, which is preferable to allowing homes to be built in places like the greenbelt, Sheppard said. Intensification was also on John Forsey’s mind. While the plan sounds great, said the former Manor Park Community Association president, it can fall down when specific developments are proposed.

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

Hans Moor, president of local bicycle advocacy group Citizens for Safe Cycling, was also on hand to praise the plan.

Moor, who grew up in the Netherlands, said the city’s cycling vision is based strongly on ideas successfully implemented in his home country.

“The plan is good,” he said.

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

He also applauded the city’s recognition that 40 per cent of trips by all modes are between points within a neighbourhood, so the city’s plan includes bicycle lanes and pathways to make those trip safer. The idea is to encourage people to make those trips to local destinations by bike, even if they live in the suburbs.

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

Connecting cycling facilities with new pedestrian bridges at Donald and Somerset streets, the Prince of Wales bridge to Gatineau and a bridge at Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street will be a huge boon for cyclists, as will a network of bike lanes the city will prioritize plowing in the winter, Moor said.

The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Council has the final say on Nov. 26.

There is still one public information session left to take place in Orléans: Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex Covent Glen Room, 1490 Youville Dr.

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

the church placed universally-recognized rainbow flags outside the hall last year, next to the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sign. Those flags began disappearing, so Baldwin had the rainbow incorporated into the sign and logo for the church itself, preventing tampering. Among the congregation are a growing number of LGBT residents, as well as a growing African demographic.

Baldwin wants the church to be accepted as part of the community, and wants it to reflect the diverse community that surrounds it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have a place where kids feel they belong, and where they get to see a cross-section of life,â&#x20AC;? said Baldwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issues may have changed, but the welcome youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll receive is the same.â&#x20AC;?

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

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

Baldwin said that given the congregationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued commitment to practicing good stewardship with its funds, the church retains the original look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built like a shoebox, and looks like a school,â&#x20AC;? admitted Baldwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before we had the sign put in, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have people drive into the parking lot, asking where the church was.â&#x20AC;?

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

While the population, built form and demographics are vastly different than 140 years ago, a strong sense of community remains, especially inside the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest church.

Celebrating its 140th anniversary this year, Britannia United Church, located at 985 Pinecrest Rd., started life as a Methodist congregation, with the original structure located at present-day Carling Avenue and Britannia Road. The church is planning a retrospective during a special anniversary service on the morning of Oct. 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of change in the community since the little church on the hill started,â&#x20AC;? said Minister Jim Baldwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep the past up front and look to it to see what works, and carry that with usâ&#x20AC;Ś On the 27th, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be looking forward.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes, we know the past, but how do we as a church and congregation move forward?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In 1873, the population of Ottawa was about 23,000 people, clustered mainly in the Centretown and Lowertown areas. A vast gulf of mainly agricultural land separated Britannia from the growing city to the east.

In 1899, a streetcar line

connected the area, including the popular Britannia Beach, with the city proper. The current church was constructed in 1960 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same year its minister was born â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once the congregation had raised enough money to build the beginnings of the structure. Starting first with the fellowship hall, more sanctuary and community space was added on as budgets allowed.

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

Britannia United has bucked the trend of dwindling, aging congregations by heading in the opposite direction, attracting new members (and increasing numbers of young ones) by changing with the times, much like the surrounding community, while remaining rooted in inclusivity. Each week an average of 160 to 180 congregation members show up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came to the church (13 years ago), our oldest committee member said that if you want to survive as a church, you need to change,â&#x20AC;? said Baldwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my mantra.â&#x20AC;?

In 1977, the church was made fully wheelchair accessible, heralding the many changes aimed at inclusivity that were to follow. Knowing that acceptance, tolerance and love, coupled with a supportive community, lead to positive outcomes for gay youth,

Murder Room offers a deathly funny farce Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - Melodramatic music, pregnant pauses and a few good attempted murders: this is what audiences can expect from The Murder Room, the latest farce from Isle in the River Review theatre troupe in Osgoode.

Jack Sharkey’s Britishstyle comedy is meant to have audience members rolling in the aisles while cast members may be rolling each other into graves – or trying to, at least.

“It’s a tremendous spoof, it’s tongue-in-cheek, it’s overexaggerated characters, all of whom think they’re smarter

than they really are,” said codirector Gord Hawkes, who is sharing directorial duties with Lynn Jolicoeur. “They’re all a couple bulbs short of a chandelier.”

The farce follows a golddigger named Mavis, who opens the play with a failed attempt to murder her new husband Edgar.

“It’s the story of her trying to off her new husband in order to acquire his wealth,” Hawkes said. “And in the process his daughter shows up and is technically the heir. So now the gold-digger must deal with the daughter.”

The daughter arrives with a rich young American on her

arm. An inspector and a ditzy housekeeper round out the characters, which is played by an all-star cast pulled from several nearby theatre groups.

Just Kiddin Theatre founder Andrie Nel, Anne Peterson and Kris Zebarth from the Greely Players and ITR veterans Katrina Bussey and Ian Bell will join Manotick resident Alan Arbuckle on stage beginning Nov. 15.

“We have easily one of the best casts I’ve ever seen,” Hawkes said. “They’re eager, attentive and ready to learn.”

Hawkes has been working with the theatre company for about 12 years and has directed four shows in the past.

He said ITR loves to produce farces and comedies because the cast and crew want to make the audience laugh.

“Without an audience there’s no performance,” Hawkes said. “People come to theatre to escape, and farce allows them to escape in such a magical and relaxed way.”

He said The Murder Room is family-friendly and will appeal to anyone aged 10 and up.

“The humour is funny on so many levels, it’s visual comedy and silly banter,” he said.

The Murder Room runs at the Osgoode Community Centre Nov. 15 to 17 and Nov. 21 to 23. Shows on Nov. 15, 16, 21 and 22 begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Nov. 17 matinee begins at 2 p.m. and the dinner show on Nov. 23 begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and $48 for the dinner show.

ITR president Judy Beltzner encouraged people to buy their tickets early, especially for the dinner show, so the cast and crew can prepare.

She also made a case for be-

coming an ITR patron.

“As a patron you get benefits that include advance purchase options, you get priority seating and you get a tax receipt,” she said. “It’s a way to support ITR and give a little benefit to yourself.”

For example, patrons save $18 on the price of the dinner theatre. An $85 donation gives the patron $60 worth of tickets and a $25 tax receipt.

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

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod announced the local 2012-13 grant recipients at Greenfields Pub in Barrhaven on Oct. 5. Ben Ladouceur, a Barrhaven native, was also selected for a grant. Ladouceur, who now lives in Toronto, received his second grant for a poetry compilation.

Since he finished his masters

degree in aboriginal studies at Carleton, the Canterbury High School grad has dedicated himself to his writing. He said he has published nine chap books – pamphlet-sized novellas with no bindings – and looks forward to having his first book for sale in stores like Chapters. “I am going back to school to learn teaching English as a second language,” he said. “I think supplementing my writing with tutor is the best option I can hope for.”

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

“When I am doing readings in public I am cognizant of the fact that some people are as into it, so I try and warm people up,” he said.

Barrhaven pop singer Mandia Nanstios, who performed during the announcement, also received grant money, along with: • Craig Conoley • Nicolas di Gaetano • Anna Fahr • Dipna Horra • Yaovi Hoyi • Heather Anne Menzies • James Ransom • Capital Brassworks • The Feathertale Review • Theatre 4.669

R0011948843-0307

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

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

“I have received the grant for the last two years and it is great to be able to offer the program in more places and help kids to get active,” she said. Gutsik, a dancer for the last 24 years, has a bachelor in dance and kinesiology and went back to school to get her teaching certification before starting her company four years ago.

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

The course aims to supplement the arts curriculum by providing students with the opportunity to get active with the art of dance.

This unit allows students to work directly with one or two dance artists over five days for one hour each day. Students will have the

erase pain and tension in your hands, feet, neck, and low back brought on by everyday stress, overuse, and age. This simple self-treatment can make your whole body feel better and provide relief from neck and low back pain, arthritis, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Arts - “Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again: it’s been a long, long time.”

Sixty-five years ago, these lyrics would have struck a chord with thousands of veterans as they returned home after years of war in Europe.

A concert at St. Andrew’s United Church in Metcalfe hopes to recapture that joyous feeling on Nov. 10 as flutist and singer Gertrude Létourneau performs some of the most popular songs of the era just in time for Remembrance Day. “The theme is Coming Home,” said Létourneau, who noted that this year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War. “The idea is that our great wars are finished and the veterans are coming home.

It’s all about the return.”

Famous songs on the set list include Coming In On a Wing And a Prayer, Keep the Home Fires Burning, The White Cliffs of Dover and Lili Marleen.

“It’s all the favourite songs of our veter-

years, and said she has come to know which songs veterans cherish most.

“With the quick aging of our veterans, I feel it is important to keep singing the songs of their era to remember, honour and thank them,” she said.

Guitarist Garry Elliott will join Létourneau on stage for the show, which takes place Sunday, Nov. 10 from 2 to 3 p.m.

Organizer Bill Robertson said everyone is invited to enjoy the show, and noted it will be an uplifting concert rather than a religious service.

Sanctuary provides haven for recuperating turtles Kristen Dolenko

Community - Easily identified by its domed shell and bright yellow markings, the Blanding’s Turtle is one of three turtle species most common in the Ottawa area.

It is also considered a threatened and protected species at risk because of road mortality and the loss of wetland habitat in Ontario.

The Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary has taken in and cared for 59 turtles so far in 2013, almost double those admitted in 2012. Most of these have been hit by vehicles as they cross roads.

When the Terry Fox Drive extension, between Second Line and Richardson Side roads, was first proposed, an environmental assessment raised concerns about the potential impact of the road on the South March Highlands Blanding’s Turtle

population.

The City of Ottawa added measures to its design and development plans to mitigate negative consequences of the road on the natural habitat. Dillon Consulting Limited was contracted by the city to design the new Terry Fox Drive extension. During the design process, several wildlife passages were added, consisting of wet and dry concrete culverts, and associated fencing and walls to help guide wildlife safely under the road. Dillon is also completing a four-year study of the Blanding’s Turtle in the area. Radio transmitters were attached to several turtles to help identify the most important nesting and over-wintering zones. Based on radio telemetry, Dillon suspects that turtles are using the culverts regularly to pass safely under the road.

However, it seems that Morgan, a female Blanding’s Turtle fitted

Thanks to incubation in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment, nine babies have hatched. Given less than one percent of Blanding’s turtle eggs survive to maturity, the sanctuary hopes these hatchlings will have a good head start back in the wild.

Sadly, many turtles aren’t so lucky.

Internal injuries are the leading cause of turtle road mortality. Other injuries, while treatable, are costly.

Veterinarian services, x-rays, pain medications, antibiotics, subcutaneous fluids, and special equipment ac-

count for just the initial expenditures required to save a turtle’s life. Because the healing process takes time, the sanctuary must not only give of its own time, but also provide food and shelter, often up to a full year, to enable a turtle to fully recover.

The good news: even cracked shells can heal. But the sanctuary relies entirely on donations from the public to make it possible. Animal lovers can consider making a donation by phone at 613-258-9480, online at rideauwildlife.org or by mailing a cheque to P.O. Box 266, North Gower, ON K0A 2T0.

Kevin Robinson quickly assessed the turtle’s injuries and brought it directly to the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary for treatment. The sanctuary treats injured and orphaned wild mammals and turtles, and returns them to the wild once healed.

Although the turtle’s skin between its hind legs and bridge were torn and both bridges slightly cracked, a veterinarian stitched up its injuries and it successfully recuperated at the sanctuary over the summer. Morgan was released back into the South March Highland area.

Morgan’s injuries and resulting captivity during the summer may mean a better chance of survival for the turtle’s offspring. Morgan was carrying eggs upon arrival at the

Zombies claw their way toward a harmless group of tour-takers at the Diefenbunker.

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - A band of hipsters in skinny jeans and bookish glasses gathers at the Diefenbunker guardhouse gate, antsy to take part in something called Incident at the Bunker: A Zombie Adventure. Few could have guessed that by tour’s end they would be armed to the hilt with Nerf guns firing wildly in all directions at the marauding undead bent on a brains-gorging feast.

And yet that’s what happened.

Dunt-dunt-dunt da!

The good folks at Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum, in collaboration with the Haunted Walk of Ottawa, put together the Halloweenthemed tour that seamlessly weaves entertainment and education.

Participants learn the standard stuff – former bunker built to withstand five-megaton nuclear bomb, could hold 535 select people, massive blast door – but that’s just filler for the frightful fun found along the way.

Here’s the set up – according to a press release promoting the event in

This zombie captured on camera at the Diefenbunker is obviously suffering from headache. But that will not stop its lust for human brains.

Carp.

“On a dark and stormy night in October of 1992, a group of scientists gathered in the depths of the Diefenbunker in the hopes of making the latest scientific breakthrough. The terrifying event that happened next has never been disclosed to the pub-

lic – until now – 20 years later. Using the latest in time-travel technology, we will journey back and discover the bunker’s most shocking secret.”

Dunt-da!

A tour guide in a black frock and, oddly, a lantern straight out of a Dickens story, leads the group of

20-somethings to the Butler Hut for a briefing.

“I’d really like to apologize to any of you who were here last year, or lost loved ones here last year,” he says.

“But we’ve really improved things.”

Tension builds during museum’s Zombie Adventure Continued from page 39

The excellently written script is hilarious throughout. For instance, before walking down the lengthy blast tunnel the guide introduces a stern plainclothes guard in dark glasses.

“He’s two days from retirement,” he said, sounding the opposite of ominous. Many giggled and predicted the guard may share the fate of a red shirt on Star Trek.

The group explored the many government rooms and winding passageways while hearing of the strange events that took place the day the bunker ceased operations. Just inside the solid steal entryway door, a Beta-like video message from a scientist is played, her last known correspondence. In the medical room where an autopsy was performed on a soldier infected by a mysterious contamination on that fateful day two decades ago, two decaying bodies illicit “Gross,” and “That’s disgusting,” from a few less-thansympathetic tour-takers.

The tension would build gradually yet noticeably.

More zombies would appear suddenly or were spotted on screens – dragging themselves relentlessly down nearby hallways.

An intrepid reporter who tagged along for the tour – which felt more like an episode of Scooby-Doo – confronted one of the monsters.

What is it you want with these people?

“Augghhhh!”

The danger mounted to the point that every member of the group was given a task meant to defend the whole.

In the Bank of Canada vault – built to protect the gold as, presumably, millions of Canadians melt under nuclear fallout – a red light added to the creepiness while a pile of Nerf guns with bullets of specially-made serum were conveniently located between the group and a mob of zombies.

It was not a happy ending.

More tours take place on Oct. 26, 27, and Nov. 2. They last about 75 minutes. Tickets are $18.75 for adults, $16.75 for students and $10.75 for children. For more information visit www. hauntedwalk.com.

Zombies take over Bank Street Ghoulish promotion lets ‘victims’ win big Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - Don’t be alarmed when if you see the walking dead shambling down Bank Street this Halloween – in fact, it’s in your best interests to become their victims.

A new promotional event being created by the Bank Street Business Improvement Area will see volunteer zombies handing out lanyards to their victims, each of which contain a barcode that puts people in the running for three grand prizes. Each barcode has the potential to open one of three prize-filled coffins laid out at La Prep, on the corner of Bank and Cooper streets.

Occurring from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 31, the festive promotion is part of the newly rebranded BIA’s outside-thebox marketing strategy. “(Zombie) recruitment has been great,” said BIA executive director Christine Leadman, adding the group has partnered with members of Capital Pride for the promo-

tion. Leadman has headed the Bank Street BIA since September after serving as the director of the Glebe BIA. Inside the three coffins, which will be opened on Oct. 31, will be gift certificates in the amounts of $500, $1,000 and $1,500, redeemable at Bank Street businesses. Even the barcodes that don’t unlock the prize coffins will still provide the zombie’s victims with special offers from participating BIA members.

Earlier this year, the BIA launched a rebranding initiative to bring a new look and heightened visibility to Centretown’s Bank Street strip. In addition to a new logo and slogan, the initiative sought to renew storefronts and sidewalks, while pursuing innovative seasonal promotions.

“This is the start of the rebranding,” said Leadman.

“The direction of our board was that they wanted to see new activities, and experiment – try it, see what happens and get involved.”

Leadman said the busi-

nesses operating along that stretch of Bank have always been a community, “but they haven’t felt like that over the past while.”

The BIA’s new approach aims to change that.

“With more activities, people will see that Bank Street is moving in another direction,” said Leadman.

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

The vacant former hotel and pub, the site of a partial building collapse several years ago, could see redevelopment in the near future, something Leadman said can’t come soon enough.

“We think that will be a big boost for the street,” she said.

“It has been an eyesore. I think the owner is keen to move forward.”

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

Pumpkin carving celebs destined for Wickedly Westboro Steph Willems

steph.willemns@metroland.com

News - Pumpkin carving can often yield subpar results, but not if Marc Evan and Chris Soria are on hand.

The Brooklyn, N.Y., based “extreme” pumpkin carvers make up the award-winning Maniac Pumpkin Carvers and will be bringing their knife-handling skills to Westboro on Oct. 26.

The Westboro Village BIA’s third annual Wickedly Westboro event takes place along the Richmond Road strip from Oct. 26 to 31, bringing activities, scavenger hunts, workshops and more to Halloween enthusiasts.

The centrepiece of the week will be the appearance of the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers at the Westboro Farmers Market.

“It’s a medium they love to work with and we’re really looking forward to having them here,” said Mary Thorne, executive director of the BIA. Known for carving the likeness

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

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

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

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

Ontario’s power struggle Politics and economics converge in the province’s maligned and misunderstood energy sector Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - On Nov. 1, Ontario energy consumers will face an occurrence that’s become the commonplace and expected – another hike in the cost of electricity.

This represents a roughly 21 per cent increase over average rates from the same time three years ago, and a 63 per cent increase from five years ago, according to figures from the Ontario Energy Board.

Following a similar bump in April, the new figures bring the cost of electricity to 7.2 cents per kilowatt hour during offpeak times, 10.9 cents/kWh for mid-peak, and 12.9 cents/kWh for on-peak usage.

Take a walk down an urban or suburban street in Ottawa at 10 or 11 at night and the fresh scent of clothes drying will often waft across the sidewalk as residents looking to lower their bills use high-consumption devices like clothes driers in offpeak times. Despite this conservation effort – one pushed aggressively by the Ontario government – off-peak rates are rising faster than on-peak rates, meaning residents pay ever more despite changing their lifestyles in order to conserve energy and save money.

The same outcome applies to other efforts that have higher buy-ins, such as ditching a home’s incandescent bulbs in favour of compact fluorescent lightbulbs or replacing old appliances with newer, high efficiency ones. Such efforts can only go so far toward mitigating the cost to the consumer when the price of electricity is rising at such dramatic rates.

Operating mostly during peak periods, the province’s

small and medium-sized businesses and larger industries face the same cost challenges, on top of the pressures of a changing marketplace. For many, temptation lies in lowercost jurisdictions located just across Ontario’s many borders.

Later this fall, the Ontario government will update its long term energy plan – a document last updated in 2010 – to chart a course forward with the province’s energy grid. Critics of the government are saying Premier Kathleen Wynne must use this opportunity to seriously reconsider the policies and decisions made under her predecessor, Dalton McGuinty, and make an effort to mitigate the impact of skyrocketing electricity rates in the hopes of retaining businesses and rekindling investment in the province.

In addition to rising rates, the gas plant scandal that has almost consumed much of the legislative agenda and news cycle this past year has increasingly drawn the public’s attention to Ontario’s complex and often misunderstood energy grid. That much of the cost to scrap and relocate two Toronto-area generating plants, estimated at more than $1 billion, will be reflected on hydro bills only increased the public focus and added a side of outrage.

“I would say the Liberals made really bad choices in the energy file,” said Peter Tabuns, NDP energy critic and MPP for Toronto-Danforth. “We’re getting hit by high prices because we have to pay profits (to energy producers) ... It’s no wonder that people and businesses find it hard to pay for excessive capacity.”

The recent announcement

that Ontario will refurbish the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and Bruce Power nuclear plant, rather than pursue new builds pegged at more $10 billion, came with a price tag of $180 million – roughly the same amount already spent on environment approvals and project planning for the nowabandoned new nuclear facility. “(Ontario) doesn’t have the demand and couldn’t pay for it anyway,” said Tabuns, referencing projected power demand used to craft past policies – projections that have since fallen short of estimates.

“It was apparent years ago that this (proposed) plant wasn’t necessary and was not affordable, so why spend $180 million (in planning)? Wasting $180 million used to matter in Ontario. It was funny to me that $180 million wasn’t something that jumped out at people after the expenses of the gas plants.”

Tabuns has called for the province’s auditor general to investigate the province’s expenditures on the nuclear file.

The complex green energy file – especially the investments in solar and wind energy production made under the province’s Green Energy Act – “didn’t come cheap” and “wasn’t handled well,” said Tabuns.

Solar and wind production is heavily subsidized, with contracts put in place to guarantee net revenue for producers, due to the unreliable nature of those energy sources. The Ontario Power Authority’s feedin-tariff (FIT) and microFIT programs ensures guaranteed prices far above the wholesale cost of electricity over a fixed term for producers, with the

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

The province’s electricity infrastructure has been the focus of controversy and political scandal as of late, but the future should see it tied more closely with the economy, say experts. province being the sole buyer.

The operators of gas plants , which pick up the slack when wind and solar aren’t producing power, enter into an agreement with the OPA to ensure profitability. Operators are paid for to cover the costs of operating the plant at capacity, though in reality many plants produce much less than what they can due to fluctuating demand.

These payments and others are reflected in the “global adjustment” added to power bills.

The global adjustment reflects the actual cost of generation, rather than the going rate for electricity, and is a large part of the year-over-year increases ratepayers are seeing.

The global adjustment joins the harmonized sales tax (which was added to hydro bills in 2010) and the debt retirement charge (left over from the breakup and reorganization of Ontario Hydro under the Mike Harris-led governments of the 1990s) on residents’ bills.

Progressive Conservative energy critic Lisa MacLeod, who serves as MPP for Nepean-Carleton, reiterated PC leader Tim Hudak’s pledge to scrap the FIT program if elected. MacLeod said province’s focus should be on tailoring the energy plan with the view of increasing jobs, the revenues from which would help tackle the province’s $260 billion debt.

Costly energy threatens economic recovery: critics, economists Continued from page 45

“We need several different elements in our capacity-building system – hydro, nuclear, and gas, but we shouldn’t be subsidizing our energy,” said MacLeod, adding the scrapping of the new nuclear build could harm investment over the long term.

“By cancelling the nuclear build, the Liberals are effectively saying that they don’t think the economy can be restored. The energy demand now is low due to the loss of manufacturing jobs, but you have to think of the long term, not the here and now …”

Energy and the economy need to be linked. It’s very difficult to get manufacturing plants back due to the unpredictability of the (energy file) and it doesn’t create confidence for companies to bring their businesses here due to skyrocketing energy rates. Business owners tell me the global adjustment is killing them.”

With interest payments topping $10 billion per year on a growing debt load, Ontario needs new revenue sources to get the budget imbalance under control and many would prefer that cash to come from new

Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli insists work is being done to mitigate electricity rate increases for the province’s ratepayer. taxpayers, rather than existing taxpayers.

Green Party of Ontario recently criticized the lack of efficiency and conservation in the energy sector via a media release posted on the party’s website.

“The Liberals’ inaction on con-

servation is costing us money, wasting resources and failing to prepare Ontario for the future,” stated party leader Mike Schreiner, calling the inaction “irresponsible.”

Schreiner cited a report from the Environment Commissioner of Ontario that criticized the province for creating barriers for municipalities seeking to create local energy systems – a move that could help the conservation cause, and perhaps the economy, too.

“Innovative local energy solutions create jobs and save money,” stated Schreiner.

The C.D. Howe Institute, a public policy think tank, added its voice to the debate in September with the release of a paper titled “A New Blueprint for Ontario’s Electricity Market,” authored by economist and professor A.J. Goulding.

Goulding states the province needs to make changes in the roles and functions of its energy institutions, starting with the need to “isolate policymakers from implementation agencies.”

“The Ontario power sector has oversupply, a mismatch of generator capabilities and needs, rising prices to final consumers, a lack of transparency in prices, and volatile and contradictory policies,” he said. “The government’s failure to rely on either sound planning or market principles

has meant that the province has not procured generation capacity at a long-run least cost.”

Besides the politically expedient gas plant decisions, which occurred in the lead-up to the 2011 provincial election, prior decisions were made that unnecessarily added to the burden shouldered by ratepayers.

In December, 2011, then-auditor general Jim McCarter slammed the McGuinty government for rushing into its Green Energy Act (2009) without thinking of the final cost to ratepayers, saying the environmental goals could have been achieved for a fraction of the cost.

For starters, the wind turbine investment deal with South Korea-based Samsung, which was the showpiece of the act, was created and approved “with no formal economic analysis” to determine if it was a good deal for the province and its ratepayers, with no consultations occurring with either the Ontario Energy Board or the Ontario Power Authority. McCarter also stated that of the 50,000 jobs expected to be created by the act, a figure touted by Liberal candidates during the 2011 election, the majority would be short term, one-time construction jobs.

Since the gas plant scandal broke, followed by the resignation of McGuinty, the Liberals now claim the act created 31,000 green energy jobs

WHEN:

of all types.

The fallout from the scandals, as well as the responsibility of moving the energy sector forward under the minority government, now falls on Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, who was named energy minister in February.

Despite the unenviable task of moving forward from increasingly unpopular policies he had no part in crafting, Chiarelli maintains his ministry is making positive headway and defends the Liberals’ initial investments in the energy sector.

He said the system inherited by the Liberals back in 2003 was “unreliable” and lacked sufficient maintenance.

Since that time, the Liberals have invested $21 billion in generation capability and maintenance and more still in transmission line upgrades, he said.

“Rates are based on what you invest in the system,” said Chiarelli.

“There was a spike in prices in order to play catch-up.”

Mitigation measures in the form of the Ontario clean energy benefit and the Ontario energy and property tax credit were two of programs created to help consumers, said Chiarelli, adding that benefits exist for northern residents and industry as well.

Without revealing the contents of the upcoming long-term plan, Chiarelli did say the province is “starting to turn the corner” on rate increases.

“The biggest step taken is cancelling new nuclear,” said Chiarelli.

“That would have been a rate increase going forward … and we have assured reliability based on what we have.”

A need for $4 billion in system improvements was eliminated through conservation, he added, and a renegotiated contract with Samsung earlier this year took $3.7 billion out of the agreement with the Green Energy Act partner.

Chiarelli said that recent changes to the FIT program would see more tax revenue flow to hosting communities than before, while providing more local input (but not veto power) for those communities. Early work is starting to encourage regional energy planning, he added.

Chiarelli stayed mum when asked to speculate whether rates could trend downward, rather than simply slowing their upward course.

“I’m not predicting anything right now,” said Chiarelli. “The (longterm plan) will deal with the projected rate.”

He added, “All existing types of generation and transmission will be in the (long-term) plan in one way or another - it just depends on how it’s prioritized. But, there will be renewable energy moving forward, along with hydro, gas, and a nuclear base load.”

Next week: How are consumers – residents and businesses – coping with elevated electricity rates and what energy policies would help keep Ontario economically competitive.

DEREK CRAIN ARCHITECT

The partially collapsed Somerset House, which has been described as an ‘eyesore’ held up by metal bracing since 2007, will finally be restored.

Historic Somerset House to get a new life Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

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

Sally Coutts, a heritage

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

“This is an accurate restoration,” she said.

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

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

Maitland.

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

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

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

Calendar raises funds for multiple sclerosis research Sabine Gibbins

sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – Natalie Van Tassel remembers the text message as if it were yesterday.

“I probably have MS,” her son, Oliver, wrote. “They need an MRI to confirm.”

It was May 9 of last year, and Van Tassel, a registered nurse at the Ottawa Hospital, remembers the feeling of her stomach dropping and her throat tightening.

Her life changed forever when she learned her son, 23 at the time, had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an often disabling disease of the central nervous system which affects those between the ages of 15 and 40, according to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

“I never imagined this would happen to anybody in

my family, let alone my own son,” said Van Tassel.

But then she started to piece it all together, after her son, who lives in Montreal, reminded her of an earlier conversation they had regarding loss of eyesight in the centre of his eye a year earlier, which later cured itself.

“I think I subconsciously blocked it out at the time because I wanted to,” she said.

Then, in May of last year, the left side of Oliver’s body felt strange, and soon he had lost the feeling in his left hand and was having trouble walking.

After discussing it with him, Van Tassel told him to go to the emergency room right away, where he spent the next day undergoing tests and seeing a neurologist until given the diagnosis.

Thanks to Van Tassel’s

contacts, he was referred to a doctor at the Ottawa Hospital immediately, and prescribed medication.

Van Tassel said he is grateful for the doctors’ support during what was a difficult time.

“I could talk to them about it because they understood,” she said.

“To think that your own son has multiple sclerosis …

I can’t even begin to describe how awful that time was.”

Because of their support, Van Tassel decided she had to express her gratitude and channel her anxiety and fear into a more positive direction.

“I wanted to contribute to help other families like mine get the assistance they needed through the MS clinic at the hospital and at the MS Society,” she said.

Last year, she had an idea,

Hope.

1-800-267-WISH www.childrenswish.ca

and approached her yoga teacher and friend to help her with a project.

The result was a calendar geared specifically to MS patients, with photos of yoga teachers in modified poses, and after selling 1,000 calendars, donated $11,000 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

“My 25-year-old needs to find a cure for MS, but so does Ottawa,” she said.

“We need to do something to raise awareness. I want to be part of finding a cure.”

Van Tassel officially launched the Yoga for MS Fundraiser at the Ottawa Hospital on Oct. 10.

The 2014 fundraising cal-

endar, unveiled at the event, supports multiple sclerosis research at the Ottawa Hospital.

As for her son, Van Tassel said he is doing well despite the dark months which followed his diagnosis.

“He’s had a good year,” she said.

The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, but there was no built in cupboards.

The bake table had another use too: when company overflowed and the old pine table couldn’t hold another soul and extra seating was needed, the bake table was put to use.

It was moved out from the wall and this is where the youngest of us ate our meal, well away from the kitchen table and the company. The little table could only seat four people, one at each end and one on each side.

I didn’t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on or else our chins would be in our dinner plates.

Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’

and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches and the maple icing on the slab cakes.

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

Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it and do some mending or she would spread out the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was considered her table and all of us, including Father, knew better than to put as much as a pencil on it.

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

There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head; our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Instead, it had several layers of quilts that protected you from the coil springs. This couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns.

Every kitchen had a cook stove. Some people just called it simply the range, but Mother called our big lumbering iron stove the Oval.

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

The bake table was much smaller.

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

Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea, because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store.

The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of flour bag tea towels, neatly folded and ironed, of course. The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare. Heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain.

Mother kept the bake table spotlessly clean and when

Women asked to give two cents on equal workplaces Randstad Canada

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

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

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

“While we see in the research that women feel there will be more opportunities for them to obtain managerial and executive positions, some challenges remain, whether related to compensation, work-life balance, or mentorship,” said Gina Ibghy of Randstad Canada.

In addition to the survey, Friends of the Centralhad also Randstad Canada Experimental Farm launched the Women Shaping Business Award, designed to recognize women leaders who are impacting

workplaces and communities around the country. Canadians are asked to share stories of female leaders who have impacted their businesses and communities. One woman will be awarded as 2013’s Women Shaping Business, with the nominee of the winner being awarded $10,000 to donate to a charity of their choosing.

More information on the Award nomination process can be found at the new campaign site womenshapingbusiness.com, where the full report based on the findings of the study can also be found.

The site includes real stories about women leaders, research on the state of female employment in regions Canada and articles about the differences in legislation and the availability of child care.

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

Action Sandy Hill petition calls for on-campus housing Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

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

The community association is concerned about a planned 165-bed student residence slated for a lot on Henderson Avenue, as well as a proposal that calls for a roughly 750-bed residence within a 10 minute walk of the campus.

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

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

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

“The University of Ottawa has grown by more than 15,000 full-time students in the past dozen years. In that time it has added fewer than 300 residence beds.”

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

Recent plans to convert a vacant church and retirement home into student-friendly housing, as well as the conversion of several private homes, is also listed as a causal factor. mixed use

A development application filed with the city in late September concerns a mixed-use, nine-storey student residence building proposed for the corner of Laurier Avenue and Friel Street. The applicant, Viner Assets, Inc., wants the collection of lots to accommodate a “purpose-built student residence,” with would contain retail space, a fitness centre and a student amenity area on the ground floor.

At 180 units, the proposal -- if approved and built -- would address some of the need of the university’s expanding student body, but not completely alleviate it. This means more developments would be needed to accommodate the student body growth.

Royal hosts mental health breakfast Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - When Denis Trottier started to feel sick, he said there were days when he couldn’t find the energy to get out of his car and go into the office.

“I would sit in my car and literally cry for hours, telling myself that today I was going to make it,” Trottier said.

The partner at KPMG, a tax audit and advisory company, said he felt if he told his fellow business partners, he would lose his job -but that was not the case.

“They wouldn’t let me go, they supported me,” he said.

Trottier sought help, and with the support of his family and staff, doctors and councillors at the Royal, he said he got better, but life remains a battle.

And because of this battle, Trottier said he hopes that one day people will feel free to talk about mental health illnesses as easily as they can talk about having cancer.

He added that ultimately, he would like every workplace to have a designated mental health care worker, much like a designated first aid certified employee.

“Think about it: when is the last time we just handed out a BandAid?” Trottier asked.

On Oct. 1, hundreds gathered at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre to hear Trottier’s story and to discuss mental health illnesses in the workplace at the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health’s sixth annual Leaders for Mental Health Breakfast.

“In my 27 year career, by far the toughest thing I have ever done is to do this today,” Trottier said.

Over the course of the last five years, the Royal’s foundation has raised $2 million for the cause,

helping increase research and support for mental ill individuals.

The breakfast featured other emotional stories from people living with a mental health illness, including CTV anchor Graham Richardson’s recount of living with a family member battling the illness.

“What if there was no fear, no fear of stigma, no fear of institution, what if there were no voices in her head,” Richardson said. “It’s been nearly 40 years, my brother and I don’t think its possible, but what if?”

Trottier and Richardson asked those in attendance to help support

DENIS TROTTIER the Royal’s initiative to raise money for research and patient care.

The breakfast aimed to raise thousands of dollars, asking people to make multi-year donations.

According to the foundation, donations have already helped: • Established a professional development endowment fund for nurses; • Supported world-class researchers in finding causes and treatment for some of the most prevalent mental illnesses today including Alzheimer’s disease, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia; • Purchased special beds for patients in the geriatric psychiatry program that help to reduce the number of patients who fall out of bed and ensure a higher level of comfort for our frailest patients; • Funded an occupational therapy program that teaches patients how to develop a website. This provides not only an opportunity for self expression, but also the development of technology skills that are transferrable to the working world; • Funded a family resource centre in Brockville to provide families and patients with learning tools to help them manage life with mental illness.

News - Osgoode girls have a chance to put a positive spin on an old habit.

The Girls Talk program run by CHEO’s YouthNet agency is a free self-esteem group for girls between the ages of 13 and 18. It allows young women to discuss issues like body image, media awareness, relationships and depression while learning positive coping strategies through activities like yoga, dance, art and discussion.

Beginning Friday, Nov. 1, the eight-week program is coming to the Osgoode Youth Association thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of Ottawa.

“We feel very lucky; we’re extremely grateful to be chosen,” said O-YA director Nicole McKerracher. “They really saw the value of doing something in the rural area.”

Youth in rural villages, especially those who can’t yet drive, often can’t access the mental health and wellness programs available in urban parts of the city, McKerracher said.

O-YA’s program is open to anyone, and girls don’t have to feel they have a “mental health issue” to sign up.

“It’s a preventive mental health and selfesteem initiative,” McKerracher said. “If you would go to the gym for your physical health, this is what you would do for your mental health. It’s about giving these girls coping strategies to help in the future.”

As many as 12 girls will get together every Friday night between 6 and 8 p.m. from Nov. 1 to Dec. 20. On the first night, the girls will discuss what topics are most important to them, and that will set the curriculum for the rest of the session.

“The topics are chosen by the girls so it’s very specific to each individual group,” McKerracher said.

The YouthNet facilitators are between the ages of 20 and 30, and will design activities and exercises that promote friendship and discussion.

“They facilitate conversations around those activities, and whatever issues the girls bring up they go a bit deeper and talk about coping strat-

TALKING IT OUT

YouthNet director Katherine Kawadri said her agency applied for the Community Foundation grant several months ago because it wanted to reach out to underserviced areas like Osgoode.

“It’s an area that hasn’t had a lot of programming like this, and (we) felt the group of girls there could really benefit,” Kawadri said.

The suggestion came from the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre, she said.

The grant will also fund four other programs: another Girls Talk, a Guys Talk, a Take a Hike program and a rural engagement event in the new year. The locations have yet to be determined, Kawadri said.

The Girls Talk program was developed in the early 2000s through the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and piloted by YouthNet in 2004.

Through a larger project called Validity, which looked at depression and mental health issues in young women, CAMH found that young girls wanted a safe space where they could be themselves and get a break from the pressures of adolescence and daily life.

“The girls stressed the need for a supportive environment in which they could share their feelings with other girls without fear of negative comments or ridicule,” a program description reads. “They recognized that the stigma of mental illness is a huge barrier to getting help.”

The research also described a need to: • strengthen self-esteem; • understand ways to develop meaningful relationships; • understand the influence of the media on young women; • and educate parents, teachers and service providers about depression and about how they can help.

To register for the Osgoode program, call 613-826-0726, email sam@o-ya.ca or visit OYA in person.

Ottawa ON - If you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves.But don't give up until

Future of Oak Street complex vague Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

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

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

Residents living in the mainly lowrise area that makes up the Gladstone CDP know change will come, and with it some benefits and drawbacks, but for

the most part oppose what’s been seen at Bayview and Carling.

With the federal Public Works department expected to sell off a large part of its Oak Street warehouse complex in the near future – the large facility that abuts both the O-Train line and the Somerset Street bridge to the north -- land will eventually become available for a mixed-use development on that site.

Given the city’s policies on land use, intensification will be a guiding factor for any redevelopment.

Dalhousie Community Association president Michael Powell said the prevailing fear is that prospective developers will use the proximity of the planned Gladstone station as a rationale for seeking building heights far and above what is currently allowed under R4 zoning, which works out to about four storeys.

“Obviously there will be higher

Big changes on the horizon for Greely Centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Greely’s village centre is getting a makeover before it’s even built.

Sunset Lakes has changed its plans for the 16-hectare (40-acre) mixeduse project at the corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street in the wake of another commercial development approved just a few kilometres up the

density on the Public Works site than in the surrounding neighbourhood, but what that change will look like needs to be clarified,” said Powell. “The answer always seems to be highrises and I don’t think that is something many want to see.”

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

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

The Gladstone CDP is in its early stages, with a public open house held Oct. 15 bringing residents up to speed on the process.

At the meeting, planners working

on the file displayed the main points expressed by the public and technical advisory groups working on the process. Those groups are made up of citizens and community stakeholders, as well as professional staff from public agencies.

The findings emerging from initial consultation show strong support for maintaining the small-scale fabric of buildings along Preston and its side streets, while intensifying vacant lots and sectioning off larger lots into smaller parcels for redevelopment.

Adding diversity to the area in terms of retail type, dwelling type and dwelling prices was also mentioned.

Reflecting Powell’s sentiment, the advisory groups found “not much appetite for towers along the O-Train track.” In their view, higher densities – whatever form that might take – should be placed furthest away from existing residential areas.

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

“We’re hearing from residents on the smaller streets saying they don’t want a lot of change,” said Collings.

“The Public Works lands are a large lot, which raises a lot of questions.

How do you break that down, how do you put in streets … and what kind of uses do you put in there?”

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

That said, he stressed that the process is still in its early stages, with a draft concept and vision not expected until later in November, with approval of a final plan slated for June 2014.

road. Sunset Lakes founder Dan Anderson said the development’s commercial aspect has been scaled back in response to another competing proposal at Mitch Owens Road and Bank, which the city approved for rezoning in September.

“That has created a competitive market … so that has reduced our need to promote commercial,” Anderson said. “We certainly don’t need 40 acres (16 hectares).”

Plans for a large shopping centre have been cancelled, leaving the proj-

ect’s total commercial space at about 12 acres (5 hectares), he said.

The rest of the campus has been filled in with plans for an adult-lifestyle community, retirement home and a private twin-pad recreational facility beside the city’s soccer fields.

If the plans are approved, a 65-lot adult lifestyle community of small single homes would wrap around Greely Centre Lake, butting up against the Water’s Edge community that’s already under construction.

The new lots would have a mini-

mum area of 540 square metres, with an average of 684 square metres.

Anderson said the homes would be smaller than the custom homes many Greely residents are accustomed to, in an effort to appeal to retirees, empty nesters and baby boomers.

Anderson said most of the Greely Village Centre campus will need to be rezoned to allow the new plans.

Sunset Lakes will likely file its applications within the next month, and Anderson said there’s no reason to expect the city to reject the idea.

Aries, it’s important to know that someone close to you supports you no matter what. Don’t let self-doubt overwhelm you. Others support you for a reason.

Set your long-term goals and work hard to make them a reality, Taurus. Goals can help you stay on track and provide much-needed motivation when you hit rough patches.

Gemini, even though you may not be getting all of the recognition you hoped at work, others are paying attention to your accomplishments. Just be a little patient.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Leo, you may want to keep some thoughts to yourself this week.

Others may not be fond of you rocking the boat at this time, so let things settle down.

Expect a self-esteem boost when you begin to feel better about all of your options, Libra. Although you may not be in love with all of the possibilities, many are very appealing.

Scorpio, you have an uncanny sense of imagination and your creativity will be running strong this week. Share some of your ideas with a trusted friend or family member.

There are many cosmic energies working in your corner, Sagittarius.

You just need to be in tune with the changes that are happening all around you.

Capricorn, anticipate some confusion regarding your social life this week. This can grow into a stressful situation if you let it. Instead, keep a level head and trust that things will work out.

Aquarius, career concerns dominate your thoughts these next few days, but you have other things on your mind as well. Devote ample time to all of your concerns.

Pisces, exotic thoughts creep into your head, but you have some mundane chores that need tending to as well.
