City reviews building height rules

News - A plan to revamp Kanata`s zoning policies to encourage intensification met with a cool reaction from area businesses and residents.

The first public meeting on the intensification and redevelopment review had some attendees worried about potential flooding risks and the loss of community character with the introduction of mid- and high-rise building, and others concerned about unnecessary restrictions on building height in employment areas.

The city is reviewing zoning for building heights on the Kanata Town Centre lands and at key intersections throughout the community, said Andrew McCreight, a city planner with the zoning consistency team. He led a public meeting for a zoning study on building heights in Kanata on Nov. 18.

The goal is to identify areas where intensification and additional building height can be added. The provincial policy statement says that planning authorities will identify and promote opportunities with “appropriate development standards” for intensification and redevelopment and compact form, which means putting more people, services and amenities into a smaller area, said McCreight.

City hopes to curb speeding on Knudson Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The city is aiming to curb speeding on Kundson Drive.

The most recent speed study on the street, held from Nov. 15 to 18, found that 98 per cent of motorists speed along that section of road, said Wook Kang, city planner, during the first public meeting on the issue on Nov. 20.

The posted speed limit is 40 kilometres an hour.

The average speed logged was 50 to 54 kilometres an hour, but the fastest speeds “were much higher,” said Kang, with some drivers exceeding more than 70 kilometres an hour.

Some residents at the meeting reported seeing cars go as fast as 100 kilometres an hour down the residential road.

“We’re right at the beginning of Knudson and they’re already way over the speed limit,” said Bob Begin, whose house is near the Campeau Drive intersection. “They’re trying to make the light. I saw a school bus

driver speeding down our street.”

His wife Lauraine added she’s been passed by drivers when turning into her laneway.

“After dark, it’s really bad.

There’s racing on the street,” she said.

“They really need to do something before someone gets killed.”

The city is looking at a variety of options, including flat-top speed humps, speed cushions and narrowing intersections and areas of the two-kilometre long road.

Flat top humps aren’t the best option for reducing speed but it has less impact on emergency vehicles and OC Transpo buses, said Kang, which makes it a favourable solution.

A poster at the meeting showed the effects of traffic management measures.

The flat-topped speed hump was installed on Lyon Street and after installation, average speeds dropped by 12 per cent, from 51 to 45 kilometres an hour.

A raised intersection was also introduced on Lyon, which saw speeds decrease

by 31 per cent, from 52 to 36 kilometres an hour.

A rubber speed cushion was installed on Equestrian Drive in south Kanata, which saw average speeds decrease by 48 per cent, from 56 to 29 kilometres an hour.

Various solutions can be combined to find the best option for Knudson, said Kang.

“There are different kinds of solutions we can consider,” he said.

A resident suggested introducing more stop signs but Kang said those are one of the worst options for the street because drivers accelerate faster coming through the intersection and many roll through without stopping.

“We can create dangerous situations” with stop signs, he said.

Linda Turnbull, who lives on Knudson across from Goulding Crescent, said she lives in “no man’s land.”

She often has difficulty getting her vehicle out of her driveway because of her position on a blind curve with an intersection behind her and cars speeding in both directions.

“You get frustrated,” she said. “It’s not safe.”

Residents were asked to write down their complaints of where the road is most un-

A second public meeting will likely be held sometime in March to discuss the best solutions for the street, he said.

Only about 30 people attended the meeting; Knudson has about 300 houses that front onto the street.

“I’m hoping people will send even more comments in,” said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

Canadians say they personally know at least one woman who has been sexually or physically assaulted • On average, every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her partner. In 2011, from the 89 police-reported spousal homicides, 76 of the victims were women • On any given day in Canada, more than 3,300 women, along with their 3,000 children, are forced to sleep in an emergency shelter to escape domestic violence

• About 80 per cent of sex trafficking victims in Canada are women and girls “Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of social or economic class, race or age group,” said Ottawa police Supt. Don Sweet, head of the criminal investigations directorate, in a release. “We all have a responsibility to end violence against women. If you see it, report it.”

Candlelit vigil commemorates victims of violence Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will light 14 candles in memory of the women killed in the Montreal Massacre on Dec. 6.

A 15th flame will be lit for all women who are impacted by domestic violence.

The annual vigil is held on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women to honour the women killed in 1989 by a psychologically disturbed gunman at École Polytechnique.

“The vigil is, first and foremost, to remember the 14 women that were murdered in Montreal,” said Terry Longhorn, volunteer and peer support worker with the resource centre in the violence against women program. “We light that 15th candle and (place) a red rose for the other women who were murdered or abused.”

A list of the names of women who were murdered over the past 12 months will also be read, said Longhorn.

She said the vigil is important because it brings attention to the issue of violence against

“When we keep silent it just perpetuates the violence,” said Longhorn. “It makes it easier for someone to come forward – it takes away that stigma of ‘Keep your mouth shut, don’t tell anybody.’”

Longhorn said the number of people attending the annual vigil has grown, as has the number of men.

A few years ago, she would only see one or two men in the crowd, she said.

For the past five years, members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Carleton University have attended the Kanata vigil; more than 20 members of the fraternity showed their support last year.

“The young men, it starts with them,” said Longhorn. “It’s up to them to set the example.”

The vigil, an outdoor candlelit ceremony followed by an indoor reception, will be held at the resource centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., at 5 p.m.

Holiday harmonies are pitch perfect jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - With voices raised in perfect harmony, members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus sang a beautiful rendition of Silent Night during their last rehearsal before the group’s Christmas concert, A Garland of Carols, on Dec. 1.

The holiday showcase will feature well-known carols, songs of the season and new tunes guaranteed to become audience favourites.

“This choir does an amazing, amazing performance of In the Bleak Mid-Winter,” said Bonnie MacDiarmid, who accompanies the 30-member chorus on piano. “The choir arrangement is beautiful. You won’t forget this concert.”

“There’s a variety of music,” said Irene Moore, who’s been singing with the choir for the past year. “There are songs for people to sing along. It’ll put them in the Christmas spirit.”

The 30-member chorus has been practicing twice a week since September for the show, which takes place at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. starting at 3 p.m.

“They give so many of their hours to rehearse,” said Robert Dueck, who directs the ladies chorus, as well as the Goulbourn Male Chorus. “They have a love of music and enjoy sharing it with others.”

CHORUS

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

They had such a great time, many of the women expressed an interest in singing together again if the situation arose, said Dueck.

So under Dueck’s guidance and direction, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus came to life in 2012. Beginning with 12 members, the ensemble has grown to 30 women from all over the west end, including Kanata, West Carleton, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Almonte.

Stittsville’s Liz Mevel has performed with the group since the 2011 concert with the male chorus. Having sung as a child and in a church choir, she’s enjoyed the chance to continue performing.

“I was delighted to be able to do this,” said Mevel. “I love it. It’s so much fun. The selections Robert makes are wonderful.”

Moore, who sang in a choir as a young adult, added she learns something new at every practice.

“It’s the highlight of my week,” said Moore. “It’s rewarding, making music together.”

Aside from the Christmas concert, the women also perform at “sing outs” where they go out into retire-

ment residences or perform at other events.

“We’re given the gift of beautiful music and that’s our way to thank the community,” said Mevel.

“There’s just (a) real joy to be able to share familiar music,” said Dueck.

“It’s hugely rewarding for us as singers.”

The group also has a spring concert, which they rehearse for twice a week from February to April.

“Everyone works really hard,” said MacDiarmid. She, Moore and Mevel all credit Dueck with making rehearsing enjoyable and knowing how to blend 30 voices seamlessly.

“He knows what you’re capable of doing. He’s very aware of who he’s working with,” said MacDiarmid.

“For me, it’s really personally rewarding; you see the steady progression,” said Dueck. “That is the magic – when you hear everyone together.”

The public will have the opportunity to see and hear the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus perform – along with special guests Rory McGlynn, a tenor and soloist, Sandra Allan on cello, Christine Ritchie on trumpet, percussionist Ann Reilly, the Trinity Handbell Ensembles and the Trinity Hilltop Handbell Ringers – on Dec. 1.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Gaia Java Coffee Shop (1300 Stittsville Main St.), Domenic’s Music Store (444 Hazeldean Rd.) and CD Warehouse (499 Terry Fox Dr.).

Limited free admission tickets will be available for children 12 and under.

“It’s just a really, really special event,” said MacDiarmid. “For me, to be a part of it is more than I’ve ever dreamed of.”

Tall buildings in business parks welcome: BIA Continued from page 1

RESTRICTIONS

However, the review is also looking to place restrictions

R0012422753_1121

Rod McLean, president of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association, said some of the plans seem extreme.

“The presumption is that when the province decrees you have to have intensification and redevelopment, it applies to Kanata,” he said. “I’d be a lot happier if people (in planning) had a sense of what this area means to people who are here.”

Kanata is the first community to be reviewed by the zoning consistency team.

McCreight and his team are exploring the possibility of mid-rise buildings along key arterial roads – such as Eagleson Road, Hazeldean Road, March Road and Terry Fox Drive – and increasing building heights in the town centre. McCreight said the team is also looking to bring the city’s zoning and policy plans

in line.

An example of inconsistencies between zoning and policy is when an area is zoned for up to four-storeys but the city’s policy allows for up to nine-storeys as long as the developer meets all the conditions.

“We want to bridge that so people have a better understanding of what can go in,” said McCreight, adding that bringing zoning and policy in line gives residents a greater certainty as to what can be built in a given area.

The city’s policy supports up to nine-storey buildings on main streets.

“Key intersections may fall under this,” said McCreight, adding that some areas in the town centre are zoned for up to 15 storeys.

for Event

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Beaverbrook resident Neil Thomson writes his comments on a map of Kanata during a public meeting on zoning and building heights on Nov. 18. The city is looking to introduce mid-rise buildings at key arterial road intersections and to increase building heights in the town centre. on building heights in employment areas, such as the Kanata north and south business parks, an area where taller buildings would be welcome, said Jenna Sudds, executive director of the Kanata North Business Improvement Area.

The maximum height in these areas would be up to four-storeys, although taller buildings may be permitted in certain instances: • A mid-rise building of up to nine storeys may be considered if within 800 metres walking distance of a rapid transit station or 400 metres walking distance to a transit corridor • A high-rise building between 10 and 30 storeys may be considered if within 400 metres walking distance of a rapid transit station Sudds said these plans are harmful to the business com-

munity.

“The above noted policies would place severe restrictions on any new development that is planned for significant portions of the Kanata North Business Park along Terry Fox Drive, March Valley Drive, and Innovation Drive,” she said.

“All these sites are located well away from residential communities. There is no need to restrict the height. Additionally, restricting the height to serve transit service, that do not exist and will not exist in the near future, is severely limiting on the development potential of this important employment area.”

Sudds said these types of restrictions would limit the business community from competing on the international business stage.

“The Kanata North Busi-

ness Area and its members compete on a North American and world market to attract new jobs to the Ottawa area.

Restricting development … fails to recognize the locational and operational characteristics of large multinational firms,” she said.

“The new policies sends the message that Ottawa is closed to creativity, thereby jeopardizing the opportunity for these companies to locate in the Ottawa market, and specifically in Kanata north.”

McCreight said all comments will be considered before staff come up with a formal proposal.

“We want to encourage development where appropriate,” he said. “We’ll see what everyone is saying and take a holistic approach.”

COMMENTS

Residents were given a number of stickers in various colours corresponding with different proposed building heights, starting at five storeys and going up to 12-plus storeys. They were asked to place the dots on a map of Kanata where mid- to high-rise buildings could be built.

People concentrated their dots on the Kanata Town Centre lands with a mix of mid- and high-rise buildings.

Others placed a few stickers for various heights along Hazeldean Road.

Some residents said they didn’t believe any infill should be considered in Kanata without addressing the infrastructure needs.

on the city’s Official Plan review for the Federation of Citizens Association, said Kanata doesn’t have the proper infrastructure in place to deal with more infill.

“There should be nobody putting stickers five storeys and above,” she said, adding anything over that height doesn’t fit with the community’s character.

She added that residents would see more flooding with additional construction.

“You’re going to be flooding people out every time you put up tall buildings,” she said, adding that developers don’t have to look at the full infrastructure needs when making development applications.

“No one is looking at the cumulative effect, especially with no increased transit,” said Neil Thomson, a Beaverbrook resident. “It’s not looking at the whole package.”

He added that exceptions to building heights, such as taller buildings being allowed closer to a planned transit corridor, could put communities at risk.

“The study should clearly indicate and confirm that the one- and two-storey residential neighbourhoods, some now 50 years old, are recognized as valuable in and of themselves and that a study criterion be specified (such as) no recommendations will be made in this study to disturb these valued neighbourhoods,” he said.

Gary Sealy, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, said many people would applaud the plan if it was about keeping the character of the Kanata area.

“But it seems to be about increasing building height,” he said. “It’s really important we have policies for that, the character of communities. We don’t want to see a one-size fits all.”

McCreight said “There’s always going to be protection for areas butting residential zones.”

‘I want other kids to have the same experience I did’

FOUR WISHES

On May 3, Tysen and the Make a Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario will host the Four Wishes fundraiser.

The event, pegged as one of the biggest ever hosted by the foundation, is expected to raise as much as $100,000.

Four Wishes invites area children to sign up for the event – once registered, they collect $50 or more in pledges online before the event.

If they raise more than $50, a child is entitled to a ticket for themselves and two adults to the Four Wishes event at the Ernst & Young Centre on May 3.

The children attending the event are split into four groups: • I wish to go: children enjoy a day in a beach-volleyball-themed room • I wish to meet: a room where kids can meet local celebrities • I wish to be: a room where children meet police officer, pilots and other people with interesting jobs • I wish to have: a room filled with gadgets, games and toys For more information about Four Wishes, and other charity fundraisers being organized

by Tysen, visit the website at missiontoamillion.ca.

SUBMITTED

Tysen Lefebrvre shot some hoops, ate lunch and chatted with comedian Adam Sandler at his production studio in Los Angeles, Calif., last November. Tysen was inspired after meeting the famous Saturday Night Live comedian, and now wants to raise money to provide wishes for 100 other children.

ANNA OSTAPYK

R0172274565.1128

News – Tysen Lefebvre is a teen on a mission.

The 13-year-old Stittsville boy plans to kick-off a campaign this week to raise $1 million for the Make a Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario, enough money to grant the wishes of 100 children.

Tysen received his own wish from the foundation in November 2012, when he and his parents flew to California to meet his favourite comedian, Adam Sandler.

“He helps others and gives back as much as he can and that’s what inspired me to create Tysen’s Mission to a Million,” Tysen later wrote on his website.

Tysen was born with Pfeiffer Syndrome type 2, a rare genetic disorder that left him with a clover-shaped skull, respiratory problems and fused bones that prevent him from bending his elbows.

Starting when he was nine days old, the boy has endured a total of 26 surgeries.

On Dec. 1, Tysen will host a fundraiser at the Boston Pizza in the Kanata Centrum, with 10 per cent of all food sales from 5 to 8 p.m. – both dining in and take out – going to Tysen’s Mission to a Million charity.

“It’s going to be a fun night,” said Tysen. “I’m going to be there, so I can meet them all.”

The teen plans to hold a few similar events over the coming months, including Four Wishes, a large fundraiser to be held on May 3 at the Ernst & Young Centre.

Watching an Adam Sandler

film a few days before medical procedure has become a tradition in the Lefebvre family.

“He’s kind of our go-to,” said Lisa Lefebvre, Tysen’s mother, adding that the tradition started in 2010, the night before a surgery at CHEO. “We got together and saw an Adam Sandler movie and it kind of took his mind off it.

“I think we’ve seen Grown Ups 2 three times already.”

It wasn’t difficult for Tysen to choose what he wanted from the Make a Wish Foundation.

In November, 2012, Tysen hung out with Sandler at Happy Madison Productions, his company, in Los Angeles, Calf.

“He was incredible,” said Linda.

The pair played basketball, went out for lunch, and Tysen was introduced to Sandler’s bulldog, named Babu – which later became the mascot for Tysen’s Mission to a Million campaign.

“He was my favourite actor,” said Tysen, adding that his favourite Sandler movies are Grown Ups 1, Grown Ups 2 and Jack and Jill.

To cap the day off, Tysen watched an L.A. Lakers basketball game from a box suite provided by Sandler.

A few months later, in January 2013, Tysen went in for a surgery at the hospital.

“Getting his wish was timely because we were all really scared about his surgery,” said Linda. “It really meant so much to him.”

Now, Tysen’s hoping to return the favour to 100 other children.

“I want other kids to have the same experience I did,” he said. “It gave me something to

look forward to.”

Tysen has already raised more than $12,500, since he launched his campaign on Oct. 29.

“He has a big heart,” said Tanya Desjardins, director of missions, delivery and operations, for Make A Wish of Eastern Ontario. “There’s something to be said for working hard on a mission.

Hopefully, it’s given him that strength and joy to focus on a mission instead of just being sick.”

Tunnel study not worth money

D

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

Fleury recently put forward a motion calling for the city to raise the subject of a study with the provincial government, asking Queen’s Park to split the estimated $750,000 cost.

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

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

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

be under no obligation to contribute to the project.

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

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

Rather than looking at a tunnel, Fleury should be encouraging the province to help consider a more politically palatable location for a bridge, perhaps further east. The problem of truck traffic needs to be solved, but a tunnel doesn’t really fit the bill.

How’s this for radical thinking: streets without cars

D

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

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

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

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

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

But it’s not about Toronto. Take a little spin along Queen Street in Ottawa tomorrow and think ahead. Until the light-rail construction is completed much of downtown Ottawa is

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

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

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

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

So, maybe instead of thinking in terms of bicycle lanes we should be thinking in terms of bicycle streets. There’s separation for you.

Select a downtown street and take the cars right off it. Bicyclists would thank you. So would motorists, who don’t like to contend with bicyclists any more than bicyclists like to contend with motorists.

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

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

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

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

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

I know. Think of the adjustments that would be necessary. But you know, as a city we’re adjusting all the time, and we can handle it.

For eight weeks, I diligently tracked every food and grocery receipt on our calendar. I have to tell you I was shocked to discover – when taking into account every grocery store trip, convenience store milk purchase, bakery run, takeout order, meal out, school pizza or milk order, drive-thru coffee and spontaneous purchase while waiting to fill a prescription, we spend approximately 25 per cent of our net income on groceries and food.

And that doesn’t even count trips to the LCBO! I asked around to gauge what others were spending.

Numbers ranged from $150 per week for a family of five; $230 per week for an extended family of seven; and as high as $250 per week for a family of six.

Some of my single and coupled friends are actually spending more per capita – close to $100 per person per week. (They admit to eating out more frequently, entertaining and not buying in bulk).

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Some people shared the intimate details of their grocery budget with me. I have to say, happy as I was to receive meal plans and receipts by email, after questioning some of their habits and purchases, I’m skeptical that everyone is accurately tracking their grocery spend.

It’s the $80 in hot school lunches, the $40 per month in takeout and the $52 per month on school milk programs that aren’t often included in the budget. All these things add up.

Whatever people are spending, it seems families across the board – and single people and seniors, too – are feeling the crunch of ever-inflating food costs. There are a few ways to keep costs down, aside from coupon clipping and shopping all over town. Regardless, saving money on food does take time, which a lot of us don’t have in abundance.

Certainly, the biggest thing getting most of us is waste.

I’ve written about this before.

We head to the store with the best intentions to eat an entire bunch of kale, only to watch it rot in the fridge. One of the best ways around this is meal planning. We actually do a relatively decent job of planning ahead for evening meals in our house, but we’re not so great at accounting for others – school lunches and the inevitable snacks.

Meal planning on its own may not be enough to save dime, however. If you really want to save, take the advice of Ottawa-based blogger, Mother Miser, and plan your meals around what’s on sale. Thirty minutes per week perusing the flyers and you’re golden.

Resist the splurge. This goes for coffee, convenience store candies and lunch-on-the-run.

Remember the latte factor?

David Bach coined the term in his book, Finish Rich. A lot of people scoff at spending $4 per day on coffee. But it’s not just coffee – the latte factor refers to spending you don’t think about, and how much money you could not only save, but invest. It adds up.

Pack a lunch. If you’re a family on a budget, the simplest way to save money is to avoid eating out. That means everyone. I know there is a militant camp of busy families that love the hot lunches offered weekly at most schools.

Add up the cost over a month or a year and decide if it’s really worth blowing the budget.

If you have time on your hands, try a few of these: bake lunch snacks from scratch; cook large portions of soup and casseroles on the weekend or once a month to freeze (it may help you avoid that $120 worth of last-minute pizza); eat leftovers. At the end of the day though, don’t buy things you’ll never eat. Sometimes it’s worth paying extra to buy your favourite foods at the grocery store to make sure you’re going to eat what’s in the fridge.

Finally, pay cash for everything and track your spending.

You really don’t know how much you’re spending until you track every penny.

With grocery, it will probably take a year of tracking before we really know our average spend, because I realized I have a tendency to hoard – stocking the pantry, buying meat on sale for the freezer.

One thing I do know – despite my perceived frugality – our new goal is to spend far less than we are currently, especially with Christmas around the corner.

Police, MADD kick-off Festive RIDE season Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The theme of this year’s Festive RIDE campaign is one of thanks. “Right before the season starts, we want to thank everyone for not drinking and driving,� said Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Dave Springer during the kick-off for the Festive RIDE season. “We want to thank the people that have taken the time and effort to make sure that they don’t drink and drive.

And then we want to tell the people that are going to decide to drink and drive, ‘We’ll be looking for you.’�

C

The OPP, along with the Ottawa police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving launched the 2013-14 Festive RIDE campaign on Nov. 22 with a check-point at the Highway 417 eastbound onramp at Eagleson Road. The operation will run until after the New Year.

Officers stopped vehicles, asking drivers how they were doing and if they’d had anything to drink. Gaetan Gendron, a member of MADD, handed drivers red ribbons and thanked them for not drinking and driving.

fort not to drive impaired, the number of those who do are still too high, said Springer.

Ottawa police laid three impaired driving charges and issued six suspensions to those who registered between .05 and .08 blood alcohol concentration during the 2012-13 Festive RIDE season.

The OPP charged 95 people with impaired driving and 86 drivers were handed a threeday suspension in eastern Ontario last year. “So there’s almost 200 people that didn’t get the message and that was just in that six-week period,� said Springer. “We’re going to top over 1,000 impaired drivers in eastern Ontario in OPP jurisdiction alone and we’ve had multiple fatalities this year resulting from the consumption of alcohol; the deaths of drivers as well as innocent people struck by these drivers.�

So far this year, OPP officers have charged around 850 people with impaired driving in eastern Ontario. Last year, the total number was just under 1,500. “We’re making progress, the numbers are going down but they’re still not tolerable,� said Springer. “We’re not having that success.�

He said police have also seen a rise in motorists driving under the influence of drugs, which trained officers will also be looking for at RIDE check-points. “Drugs are becoming more prevalent in our motoring society,� said Springer. “Trained drug recognition experts will be out there too.�

Drinking and driving is a mentality, said Springer.

Many people make the right choice, going prepared with a designated ride home or the number for a taxi when they go out for an event. “They make the decision at

But there are others who make the conscious choice to get behind the wheel when they’re impaired. “Drinking and driving is psychological, it’s a decision,� he said. “And it could result in the loss of your life or damage to other people, destroying their lives.�

If someone suspects a driver of being impaired they’re directed to call 911.

Teen assaulted in Glen Cairn Jessica Cunha

News - A 16-year-old Kanata youth is in hospital with injuries after he was assaulted in a parking lot of the Jack Charron Arena in Glen Cairn on Nov. 21.

The teen suffered bumps and bruises, said an Ottawa police officer on the scene.

A witness said a male suspect jumped out of a car, assaulted the victim and then drove away.

Paramedics were called, but when they arrived the victim was missing. “(Paramedics) did find the male and they did transport him to hospital,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, a spokesperson for the Ottawa police.

The attack was witnessed by children at St. Martin de Porres School, which is located next to the arena, said a parent who was picking up her child after school.

“All the kids could see the ambulance from the yard,” she said.

Another parent said the victim was a student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, which

Students cook up tasty fundraiser for CHEO Money to help teens with mental health issues Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - A group of Grade 8 students at Katimavik Elementary School are organizing several bake sales to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s mental health clinic.

The students – Austin Wu, Shawn Timlin, Isabel Gu, Amanda Du, Jacqueline Chen and Millan Wang – are in charge of the organizing, marketing and baking for six bake sales taking place over the next four months.

“A lot of people, especially teens, are depressed,” said Jacqueline, 12.

“They need help and they might not

be able to get help.”

“I’ve seen people around me who need help,” said Millan. “But they’re too scared.”

“They might be too embarrassed or scared to get the help they need,” added Amanda, 13.

So aside from raising funds, the group will also be educating others about mental health issues.

“It’s to end that taboo that if you need help, you’re crazy,” said teacher Chantale Hart. “Too many teens are depressed, anxious, suicidal and not getting the help.”

The group will be baking brownies, banana bread, cookies, caramel popcorn and other assorted goodies

for the fundraiser.

At least 80 per cent of the baked goods must have less than five grams of fat and a higher amount of protein, and all items offered will be peanut and nut free, said Hart.

The dates and times of the fundraisers are: • Nov. 28: from 4 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 7 p.m.

• Dec. 12, 13 and 17: all day • Jan 23: during both recesses (10:25 to 11:20 a.m. and 12:50 to 1:35 p.m.)

• Feb. 14: during both recesses (10:25 to 11:20 a.m. and 12:50 to 1:35 p.m.) and the after-school dance Tables will be set up inside the school, located at 64 Chimo Dr., near

the front door so members of the community can peruse the goodies.

Hart said if people want to donate baked goods to the cause, they can contact the school at 613-592-5462.

Isabel, 13, said the goal is to raise $1,000 for CHEO. “It’s important to donate money to mental health so we have better lives,” said Austin, 13.

Ogilvie Mercedes Benz Celebrates the Arrival of the 2014 S-Class Ogilvie Mercedes Benz Reveal Event by Brian Turner

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

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

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

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

Mercedes Benz is returning to its rightful place as an automotive leader in ways that mark both the best of the past and future in an industry that defines change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The interior of the S-class has been thoughtfully designed and crafted to provide all the information that a driver needs, without distraction. It’s multitude of technology-leading safety systems include gone two phases of a multi-million dollar collision mitigation, infrared night vision expansion and redesign of every customer sensors, autonomous braking systems department to bring the same personally for both vehicle and pedestrian collision welcoming touches to an expanding avoidance.

Arts - Katimavik photographer Henry Fernando is hosting an art fundraiser to benefit the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Fernando, who is original-

All the funds raised at the event will go to UNICEF to benefit those affected by the typhoon – and all donations will be matched by the government.

“Every single cent that we collect is going to UNICEF,” said Fernando. “I’d like to collect as much as I can.”

Fernando still has family living in the Philippines but he said they were fortunate to not be directly affected by the typhoon.

ly from the Philippines, said he felt he had to do something to help.

“With the typhoon, the devastation, I thought about trying to do something to raise funds,” he said. “They’re my countrymen and I want to do something to help them out.”

So he created the event Philippines Forward - Artists Making A Difference to be held on Dec. 4 at the Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Blvd., from 5 to 10 p.m.

“Fortunately they’re actually around Manila so they weren’t impacted as much,” he said.

So far, 33 artists have donated works to the fundraiser, but he said he’s hoping to reach more.

“I’d like to get at least 50 artists to donate their work.”

Artists willing to donate artwork to the event can contact Fernando at efernando@ rogers.com or by calling 613-

The artwork he’s collected has been affordably priced, much lower than what the pieces would originally retail for, said Fernando.

He’s also set up an online donation button on his webpage, henryfernando.com, for people who can’t make it out to the event. A Facebook event page, called Philippines Forward - Artists Making A Difference, has also been created.

“The more people who come obviously would be great,” he said. “Share (this) with friends and family.”

Numbers climb for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan

News - Raquel Ponciano has family and friends in the Philippines, which was hit by Typhoon Haiyan earlier this month.

Although her family was spared from the devastation that’s affected more than 10 million people, she has friends who weren’t so lucky. Some were left with nothing except what they had on them when the storm hit, while others have lost loved ones.

“The first time I turned on the TV I saw a picture of a father holding his baby. He was dead.

I won’t watch it anymore,” said Ponciano, who works at The Royale Kanata.

A nurse she knows working in the Philippines lost an uncle

There are just over 1,500 evacuation centres set up, which help with locating families, assessing the injured, providing food, water, blankets and hygiene kits. A mobile hospital has also been deployed, which can help 300 people a day as out-patients and provides beds for as many as 70 others.

So far, the Red Cross has raised $12 million, but more is needed to continue the relief efforts and to help the areas affected begin to rebuild and recover in the next phase.

The government will match all donations for Typhoon Haiyan relief until Dec. 9.

Elinor Duncan, a resident at The Royale, said it’s important to help, especially because members of the staff have family and friends who have been affected by the typhoon.

“It’s a disaster,” she said.

The residents donated more than $2,500 to the relief efforts, which doesn’t include funds mailed directly to the Red Cross or donated online.

and a cousin. And with landslides and flooding many of the roads have been washed away, making relief efforts difficult.

“The relief goods are hard to transport,” Ponciano said. “We can’t find roads anymore.”

Staff members at The Royale took up collections to help their own overseas, and the Canadian Red Cross visited the retirement residence on Nov. 20 to talk with residents and collect funds to help the organization’s relief efforts.

Joanna Luciano, manager of the Canadian Red Cross eastern division’s department of philanthropy, said Typhoon Haiyan is one of the worst disasters on record. Thousands of people are dead and more than 10 million people have been affected.

“Eighteen-thousand people are injured and several hundred are still missing,” she said, adding the organization had just received updated numbers. “Four and a half million people have been displaced.”

More than 250,000 homes were destroyed and 282,000 dwellings were damaged by the storm, she added.

A record 219,000 raised for the United Way! Hydro Ottawa is proud to announce that it surpassed its annual fundraising goal for the United Way. A record $219,109 was raised in 2013.

Since 2001, Hydro Ottawa’s campaigns have raised more than $1.5 million for the United Way.

well as vocalists, drummer Steph McAlear, guitarist Fred Guignon and bassist Mike Liepe – will have special guests at this year’s show.

Joining Rothwell and Moffatt on stage are James Crichton on keyboard and Mitch Gauzas on the fiddle.

“We’re going to bring them in at certain points through the evening just to break it up a little bit, add some instrumentation to what we do,” said Moffatt. “The guys in our band, they’re all really, really solid musicians.”

Rothwell and Moffatt feature an eclectic folk, rock

and country sound, with captivating harmonies and an engaging stage presence.

And the show’s atmosphere won’t change from past years, which is like a “candles and cabaret” vibe, said Moffatt.

Operation Red Nose lights the way this Christmas Volunteer-based driving service ensures residents arrive home safely Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – A volunteer driving service wants to ensure residents get home safely this holiday season.

Operation Red Nose launched its third-annual campaign on Nov. 22 at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre, and this year aims to attract nearly 300 volunteers to answer the phones and drive residents back to their homes.

Brian Patterson of the Ontario Safety League told city officials and the community gathered there will be approximately 5,000 people from across the province volunteering to drive their neighbours, friends, and colleagues home.

“In 11 communities, it’s resulted in one number that’s important to us: zero,” he said.

“This year we are shooting for zero casualties, zero crashes during the Operation Red Nose season. We have been able to achieve this for the last five years in every jurisdiction, which tells me that the media, the awareness and the information that comes out gets people focused and thinking.”

Whether feeling unwell, the result of drinking, or due to fatigue, volunteers are dispatched to pick up the resident and drive them home.

Last year, the organization worked 10 evenings, with 592 volunteers dispatched, 395 calls answered, 17,963 kilometres travelled, and $10,883 raised for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

Taylor, who is also chair of the community and protective services committee, encouraged residents to volunteer for the service.

He had the opportunity last year to visit some of the volunteers and hear their stories on what motivated them to help out.

“Some of them had a personal connection, others just wanted to look for something to do and give back to their community,” said Taylor.

“Whatever the reason that brought them there, it’s wonderful that they came, and we’re counting on them again this year.”

“The number shows a true commitment of the residents of our city to our city.”

Operation Red Nose strives for the same goals as that of the Safer Roads Ottawa, a program approved by Ottawa city council in 2011, said Mayor Jim Watson said.

The program aims to combine all the efforts of the city’s internal departments, including Ottawa police, fire, paramedic, public health and public works departments.

“As well, we have directed staff to engage and support our partners in the community who are involved with safety.

Our goal is to make the city of Ottawa the safest municipality in all of Canada when it comes to road safety.”

The funding for Operation Red Nose comes through the Safer Roads Ottawa program.

Although volunteers ensure residents get home safely, there are still accidents involving impaired driving, said Watson.

“Statistics over the last five years remind us that although we have achieved tremendous success at lowering the rates of impaired driving, there is still much work to do,” said Watson.

Over the last five years, 1,786 collisions related to

impaired driving have taken place, with 776 people injured and 238 killed.

“I encourage you to think about your responsibility to get home safely,” he said.

Executive director Dave Van Vlaanderen said it was gratifying to see the kind of support they have in Ottawa.

“Active volunteers and the contributions from the community is what has kept the organization growing,” he said.

Operation Red Nose Ottawa has improved a few key assets of its program this year, he said.

First, a new service featuring an integrated information technology system will push information out faster to smartphones, he said, and secondly their website has also been improved to make for a more user-friendly experience.

They hope to see more volunteers participate in this year’s campaign, he said.

Last year, there were 220 volunteers who each had at least one shift during the 10day campaign, he said.

This year, they’re looking to increase the numbers to 300.

“Whether it’s driving your own car, driving someone else’s car, getting them there by navigating or even helping out in headquarters taking calls, or by participating in events, there’s a job for everyone,” he said.

At the end of the campaign, a donation will be made to their charity partner, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, van Vlaanderen said.

They hope to raise more than $11,000 this year towards the charity.

All operating costs are funded through sponsorships.

For anyone who needs a ride to get home safely this holiday season, call 613-820NOSE (6673).

An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY NOVEMBER 22 CORPORATE FLYER In the November 22 flyer, page 3, the Grand Theft Auto V game offer (Web Code: 10185169 / 10185174) was incorrectly advertised. The trade-in offer is not valid. Also, on page 18, the HP ChromeBook featuring Samsung Exynos 5250 Processor (Web Code: 10275451 / 2) will not be available for the duration of the flyer.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

The City has received a revised submission for the apartment proposal for 1131 Teron Road, which shows a three storey building where the house is now located and a nine storey apartment building adjacent to the hydro easement. The former proposal showed a 15 storey apartment in that location. There are also changes in design. I have told the planner that a public meeting is necessary since many people had serious concerns with the original proposal and there is a need for a full presentation and discussion of the latest proposal. The KBCA and Bethune Condominium in particular have expressed concerns and are urged to attend and present their views.

The meeting will be held in December. At time of writing, a date and location have not yet been selected, so check my column next week or my website for that information.

MINTO SHOPPING AREA FOR ARCADIA Minto is planning a small shopping area south of Campeau Drive at Huntmar to serve the residents of their Arcadia development.

Access will be from Campeau Drive. Tenants of the centre have not yet been identified. I will have more information at my January Town Hall Meeting on Tues. Jan 21st at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata.

BASS PRO SHOP I met with representatives of the Bass Pro Shop that is proposed for lands adjacent to Highway 417 at Huntmar to discuss issues and timing. A number of studies are being undertaken to determine items such as servicing, environmental issues, traffic and drainage.

They have indicated they want to proceed as quickly as possible and hope to start construction by next summer.

The City will be constructing an urban cross section for Klondike between March Road and Sandhill, complete with sidewalks on both sides of the road. This project will take about two years as it requires a road design (budgeted in 2014) and construction in 2015. Concern for the safety of pedestrians in the meantime has led to consideration of temporary changes to the road. The suggestion is to make that part of Klondike one way and to place a barrier along the road to cordon off part of the roadway, as a protected path for pedestrians and cyclists.

A Public Open House to gather input from residents on Making Klondike Road a One-way Street from March to Sandhill will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday Dec 2nd at Fellowship Baptist Church, 1078 Klondike Road. If a one way option is accepted the path would be installed in the spring and remain in place until the construction is completed and sidewalks available. The 93 bus would be diverted in one direction with the preliminary suggestion to use Maxwell Bridge to access Marconi.

Ottawa Fury sign first Canadian to professional squad Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Fury professional soccer team has signed its first Canadian player.

Striker Carl Haworth played for the Fury’s PDL-level team last year, a developmental league.

The Fury is adding him as their third player – and first Canadian – to their new professional team which will play in the North American Soccer League.

Head coach Marc Dos Santos said the signing sends a positive message to the PDLlevel players.

Dos Santos was able to heavily scout Haworth while watching him play in Ottawa last year.

“He deserves to be at the next level, he played very well at the PDL level,” Dos Santos said, adding he was impressed with Haworth’s work ethic.

“He scores once, he wants the second one. He scores twice, he wants the third one.”

Haworth moved to Barrie, Ont. from England when he was a year old, and went on to play NCAA soccer at Niagara College.

He made the Canadian U23 team in 2012, where he played in Olympic qualification games.

Haworth is only 24-yearsold, but fans should get ready to see a young Fury team next year, Dos Santos said.

“It’s going to be a young side.”

“Today, we don’t foresee having one player that is more than 30 years old,” he said.

“The objectives … is not to be a team that in year one, we spend all kinds (of money) and in year two, we disappear.”

Since the Fury signed Scottish player Nicki Paterson, they have also added Brazilian Oliver Minatel to the team.

The Fury also announced

their coaching staff in advance of the Nov. 20 and 21 open tryout.

While the sessions were billed as an open tryout, coaching staff had cut applicants from 300 down to 46 to evaluate in person at the Superdome at Ben Franklin Park.

Martin Nash joied the staff as assistant coach.

He played for 10 years for the Vancouver Whitecaps before moving into a coaching role.

David Bellemare joins as goalkeeping coach, and head coach Dos Santos’ brother Philippe Dos Santos has been brought in as technical director.

A fitness and conditioning coach is still to be added to the final coaching roster.

The head coach hopes his staff will mirror the profile of the players on the club.

“Our coaching staff is incredibly young, dynamic, and willing to work,” he said.

Councillors pick apart transportation master plan Kanata road projects - including Kanata South Link - to move up the list if money becomes available

SOUTH END

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A raft of localized changes to the city’s tentative future transportation plans sailed through committee approvals on Nov. 15.

City staff presented few changes to the $4-billion plan, which outlines planned extensions and expansions of road, pedestrian, cycling and transit facilities until 2031.

But while the transportation committee largely left plans for the mayor’s splashy extensions of light rail east to Place D’Orleans and west to Bayshore, as well as an O-Train extension south to Bowesville, a number of changes were recommended to local road, sidewalk and bike-lane plans.

City council gave final approval to the transportation master plan on Nov. 26. For a full report on the last-minute discussion and changes council made, see next week’s newspaper.

In addition to enshrining changes to bus Transitway

extensions along March Road and a connection to Terry Fox Station that the transit commission approved the week before, the transportation committee tweaked a few road projects in Kanata.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley wanted it enshrined in the plan than any leftover money from the future “Kanata South Link” project to widen and connect West Hunt Club and Old Richmond roads would be used to speed up a later project to widen Hope Side Road, which is supposed to be looked at after 2026.

Hubley’s fellow committee members agreed it should be put in the plan that widening and intersection modifications should be considered for Hope Side Road as early as possible if there is money left over.

There was one small change made to the priority order for road projects in Kanata

North. Instead of including a planned widening of the north section of March Road as a single project, the committee broke it into two phases of differing importance: the section between Old Carp and Dunrobin roads was deemed less urgent than the portion of March Road north of Old Carp Road.

Hubley also wanted the city to hedge its bets when it comes to possible future increases in the amount of money collected from the construction of new homes through development charges.

He put forward a somewhat technical motion that would prioritize projects that score just below the “affordable” line in the transportation master plan so those projects could be bumped up the list if the city stands to collect more money from new developments after a review next year.

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

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The zoning amendment proposal affects the entire territory of the City of Ottawa.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Merivale, so the committee tasked staff with a value-engineering study to see if the estimated $76-million budget for the project could be whittled down. That study will be done in 2014 so the Prince of Wales widening can be considered after the opening of the Strandherd Armstrong bridge in 2015, when the city was already planning to look at modifying some of the intersections along Prince of Wales Drive.

Further changes to the alignment of the future Earl Armstrong extension were proposed by Hubley.

Councillors wanted to rejig how the city will tackle a long-term project to widen the southern section of Prince of Wales Drive. The master plan initially suggested putting $23 million towards widening the section from Colonnade Road to Hunt Club Road, but feedback from the public showed there was a much stronger demand for a “long-term solution” further south. Councillors responded to that by pushing the widening of Prince of Wales between Hunt Club and Merivale roads higher on the list to be done before the section to Colonnade Road.

The change will also mean delaying the construction of a new, two-lane road between Bowesville and Bank Street, which is part of a larger plan to widen Earl Armstrong Road and change the road network in the area. That was supposed to be done in the last phase of the plan, after 2026, but the transportation committee voted to push the new connector road farther down the list and instead use the $20 million from that project towards the Prince of Wales widening.

But even those changes, which amount to freeing up $43 million, won’t be enough to widen the section of Prince of Wales from Hunt Club to

Cycling route changes proposed for downtown, east end Continued from page 31

Councillors supported his motion to show the future road as a “placeholder” line south of the urban area until the final location is determined through an environmental assessment study.

The road is shown as connecting with Blais Road at Bank Street in the draft plans, but that would impact a planned subdivision to be constructed west of Bank Street.

The committee also recommended the city make a formal request for the province to look at even a partial highway on-ramp at Barnsdale Road to serve commuters coming from the south end.

While the transportation master plan calls for interchanges at both Barnsdale and Cambrian roads, residents from Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Chapman Mills, Richmond, Riverside South and Manotick would be better served by a Highway 416 on-ramp at Barnsdale Road, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said.

In the past, the Ministry of Trans-

portation has indicated it is not interested in building a full interchange at Barnsdale Road, and no funding has been allocated to the project. A motion passed by the committee would see the city ask the province to fund a study on the feasibility of installing a partial interchange with a northbound on-ramp and southbound offramp at Barnsdale Road.

The Barnsdale interchange would also provide access to the Trail Road waste facility, the motion reads.

The committee also reconfirmed the transit commission’s commitment to partner with the airport authority to fund a study looking at the possibility of connecting the airport to a proposed extension of the O-Train line.

City staff is also planning to adjust cycling plans for the Nepean area to construct a missing pathway link along Woodroffe Avenue from south of Longfields Drive to Claridge/ Stoneway drives sooner, before 2019.

CENTRAL AREA

Despite completing the detailed

design for a proposed footbridge over the Rideau Canal connecting Old Ottawa East and the Glebe near Lansdowne Park, residents expressed confusion that the city would plan to construct another new pedestrian bridge before it.

A new idea to convert the old Prince of Wales rail bridge into a pedestrian crossing to Quebec would cost $3 million and is slated to be done first, between 2014 and 2019. The Rideau Canal bridge would cost more than $13 million and would be constructed later, between 2019 and 2026.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko proposed a way to mitigate that.

He was successful in getting a motion passed that would reallocate money from the Prince of Wales bridge project to the Rideau Crossing bridge if a partnership funding agreement with Gatineau and the National Capital Commission isn’t secured in time, it would be shifted to speed up the construction of the canal footbridge.

The canal footbridge would also be bumped up if alternate or additional funding becomes available before

2019.

Chernushenko said it doesn’t harbour ill wishes towards the bridge to Gatineau, but “should for some reason (the Prince of Wales bridge) not go through, the remainder of the money in that pot be directed to the next bridge in the queue, the Fifth and Clegg bridge.”

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury was successful in asking the committee to add new sidewalks for Vanier into the plan. If adopted by council, the recommendation would eventually see Des Pères-Blancs and Brant Street get sidewalks. Those routes are not identified as needing pedestrian facilities, but Fleury said they are major walking routes for school, parks and recreation facilities in the community. There is no timeline attached to that project.

Plans for cycling facilities in Vanier also got a boost. The transportation master plan contains a neighbourhood cycling route for Vanier, which is intended to help people get around their community and provide direct routes to major facilities and shopping areas. But the proposed network didn’t capture some wellestablished routes in Vanier, Fleury said, so he’d like to keep the conversation going. His motion means city staff will continue to consult to refine the neighbourhood and crosstown bikeway routes, including the one for Vanier-Lindenlea. It also asks for improved connectivity for Sandy Hill, Lowertown and Vanier to the ByWard Market.

City staff also made some adjustments to planned downtown cycling routes. In Lowertown, further enhancements are contemplated for

shared cycling lanes on Murray and St. Patrick streets, as well as better connectivity to Porter Island and the Rockcliffe Island Lodge. Cycling planner Zlatko Krustlich said the city is looking at how it can widen lanes on St. Patrick east of King Edward during repaving in order to allow more room for cyclists.

A winter cycling network is included in the transportation master plan for the first time ever, but the committee heard from residents that it needs more finessing. It directed staff to consult with cyclists on adjustments to routes that would receive priority snow clearing for bicycles. That info would be considered as part of council’s 2014-18 strategic priority setting and as part of the budget process.

Fleury also asked the committee to support his motion to direct the city to work with the STO transit service in Gatineau to develop strategies that minimize “both the number of buses and cars that operate on downtown Ottawa streets.”

EAST END

A major change to cycling plans in the far east end would provide access for people who live in Cumberland to bike west into the city. Krustlich said the city is considering ways to include cycling facilities along Old Montreal Road from Dunning Road west to Gerald Street, just east of Trim Road.

Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess didn’t get much support from his fellow committee members or staff for his ideas to join two phases of the Blackburn Hamlet bypass/Brian Coburn Boulevard and split another road project into two phases. Splitting up or joining together phases of road construction would change the score used to determine when the construction might happen.

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

Tree planting top-of-mind for environment budget Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

A spotlight is being shone on the department as the city grapples with losing a large number of trees to the emerald ash borer beetle.

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

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

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

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

While Fleury said tree frustrations continue to grow in communities, Alta Vista Coun.

Peter Hume disagreed, saying his experience with forestry was different than his colleagues.

Holmes and Capital Coun.

David Chernushenko dissented on the forestry portion of the budget, but most commit-

tee members approved it on Nov. 19.

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

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

The overall environment budget for the city includes $122.3 million in spending, $48.3 million of which comes from taxes. That brings total spending down $216,000 from last year, mostly due to decreasing the number of staff.

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

Butternut recovery is under way in eastern Ontario Charles Billington

Rideau Valley Conservation Authority

Lifestyle - The Butternut is a lovely native tree with a wide distribution in central and eastern United States reaching its northern limits in southern Ontario, southern Quebec and New Brunswick. They have co-existed with other trees in the forests of Eastern Ontario for thousands of years.

Now, Butternuts everywhere are under attack by the Butternut Canker Disease. This deadly fungal disease attacks all Butternuts regardless of size or age and there is no known cure. Trees slowly lose vigour, branches start dying and thin black sooty patches appear on the bark.

Butternut is classified as an endangered species by both the provincial and federal governments.

Is there anything we can do?

Fortunately, some individual Butternut trees seem to be more tolerant than others, just as some people appear to be naturally more resistant to human illnesses than others.

From this simple observation, several groups have developed a Butternut Recovery Program to try and avoid the extinction of one of our most beautiful trees.

The Forest Gene Conservation Association, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and hundreds of concerned landowners and environmental groups in Eastern Ontario are now into year 8 of the Eastern Ontario Butternut Recovery Program. the basic plan consists of finding and mapping tolerant Butternuts, checking the DNA to avoid hybrids, collecting seeds and then growing healthy seedlings at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville for outplanting on properties all over the region.

The partners also collect scions (small branch cuttings) from the healthiest trees to graft onto walnut rootstock and grow in protected archives with the

ultimate goal of producing vigorous, new Butternut seedlings for re-introduction into Ontario’s forests.

The results are starting to come in. Trained Butternut Health Assessors have visited 836 properties across Eastern Ontario (by invitation of the property owners) searching for healthy Butternut trees; they have documented 14,677 live Butternuts of which 452 were assessed as pure, possibly genetically-tolerant trees for seed collection; they have collected 54,500 Butternut seeds from healthy trees since 2010, and grown and out-planted 14,605 seedlings on 1,450 different properties thanks to our generous landowners.

In addition, the Butternut Program Recovery partners have 94 Butternut grafts growing in the Kemptville Archive and have participated in Butternut research projects with other forest institutes in Canada and the United States.

The early results of Butternut recovery are encouraging.

The health and vigour of the out-planted Butternuts will be monitored in the years ahead to see how many show disease tolerance in the next generation.

Research on immature seed collection, artificial propagation of multiple healthy trees from one embryo, and long-term preservation of healthy embryos is also encouraging.

“Butternut Tree, A Landowner’s Guide” written by the Butternut Recovery Partners including the Forest Gene Conservation Association is an excellent easy-reading source of more information on this interesting native tree. It is available for downloading free of charge by typing Butternut Landowners Guide into your browser.

New clinic to help treat growing opioid addiction Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Recovery Ottawa officially launched its clinic in Vanier on Nov. 19. The clinic offers methadone to people living with opioid addiction. a pharmacy located in the clinic.

According to the men, they are providing the city a service they believe is sorely lacking: a place where addicts can get the help they need, almost immediately.

Before this clinic opened, Ujjainwalla said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wait list for treatment was long and treatments tended to be less successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is disease and addiction is ravishing our community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waiting times are prohibitive or just not there.â&#x20AC;?

The first step, Ujjainwalla, said is changing attitudes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addiction is a highly treatable disease. Treatment works, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you treat them?â&#x20AC;? he said.

Recovery Ottawa does away with the concept of wait lists.

Instead it offers treatment from the moment a person walks in the door.

Jean-Marc J. is one of those patients and one of the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success stories.

When Jean-Marc J. went to see Ujjainwalla a little over a year ago, the 43-year-old weighed 54 kilograms and

was spending $300 to $500 a day on heroin or cocaine - financed through crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past 20 years, I have spent 13 of them in jail,â&#x20AC;? JeanMarc J. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got out of jail, I desperately needed help I was afraid I was going to die. That is when I found Dr. Mark.â&#x20AC;?

Since the day he met with the doctor, he has been clean.

The way it works is simple.

The clinic sees patients, consults with them, submits them to monitored urine tests and then determines the dosage of methadone to administer.

launch, the doctor reporter he already had a manager of Royal Bank branch offering to hold a fundraising initiative for the clinic. Another individual, a dental hygienist, has approached him looking to set up a clinic at Recovery Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support we have already received has been unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? Ujjainwalla said.

Aside from his practice, Ujjainwalla also runs the treatment and addiction curriculum at the University of Ottawa.

This clinic will have a partnership with the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty of medicine, becoming a teaching facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the students here is critical,â&#x20AC;? Ujjainwalla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will make the difference in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The clinic opened its doors a couple of months ago, converting the former Rogers Video into a state-of-the-art doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Plans are currently in the works to tear down the current building and build a new mixed-use building, but Ujjainwalla said the organization signed a five year lease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are here for at least five years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if we have to move, than we move, we are not concerned about location, just about helping people.â&#x20AC;?

News - A methadone clinic that opened recently in Vanier wants the neighbourhood to know it is there to help anyone suffering from addiction, no matter where they live in the city.

Recovery Ottawa is located in the Eastview Plaza at the corner of Montreal Road and North River Road. Dr. Mark Ujjainwalla, the medical director and founder of the clinic, is has been a recovering alcoholic for 25 years, giving him first-hand experience dealing with addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addiction is an illness like any other, and patients dealing with it deserve to be treated with the same respect,â&#x20AC;? Ujjainwalla said.

Known affectionately as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Markâ&#x20AC;? by his patients, the clinic is there to help anyone dealing with addiction.

According to Ujjainwalla, he has helped hundreds of patients, and if more doctors signed onto the practice, he believes the clinic could help close to 3,000 patients per year.

Ujjainwalla started the clinic on his own, funding it privately with his partner Mark Barnes, who owns and runs Respect Rx Pharmasave,

From there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of walking a couple of steps to the right of the clinic and meeting up with Barnes or one of his staff.

The methadone is dispensed using thumb print technology. Connected to a computer, once a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumb print is scanned, the dosage is shown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It tells us how much to give to each patient, because each patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dosage is different, this helps us be accurate,â&#x20AC;? said the pharmacist, Don Johnston.

Many community resource centres, clinics, Ottawa and provincial and federal health employees attended a launch for the clinic on Nov. 19.

Ujjainwalla said creating partnerships with local organizations is integral to making this new concept work and grow in this city.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder attended the launch and said she wished the clinic was located in the west end.

Expansion, something the doctor is interested in, all hinges on buy-in from either the provincial government or local doctors willing to open one up.

Ujjainwalla said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too soon to tell when that might happen, but he is happy to report that support has been pouring in.

CHEO has selected Epic as the software vendor for its integrated electronic health record. Epic is a technology company focusing exclusively on the healthcare sector – providing software to respected hospitals and health systems around the world.

CHEO is creating a new integrated electronic health record where all areas of the hospital will use the same paperless technology for patient records.

This practice has been successfully completed at hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins Hospital, and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Minister of Health Rona Ambrose was at the announcement to mark the occasion and speak of the project.

“It was great to see firsthand the progress that has been made in electronic health records here at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario,” said Ambrose.

“What I have seen is proof of how innovation in technology can improve the delivery of health care for children and their families.”

With patient information kept in one place, CHEO’s health professionals will have the opportunity to reach that information more easily, said Munter.

“This is going to improve the both the quality of information and the quality of patient care,” he said.

“This will result in more

families be their healthiest,” said Munter.

CHEO will then be able to share this information with other colleagues in the community faster, and reduce the number of times families need to visit the hospital.

In the first phase, now up and running, CHEO deployed the technology in its laboratories and in the first group of out-patient clinics.

All 80 clinics will use the Epic system as the plan rolls out. The new system will be placed in the emergency department, pharmacy, and inpatient units over the next three years.

Within the next 18 months, CHEO plans to launch “My Chart”, an Internet site for patients and families to access their own health information

Donor wall goes interactive at Taggart Family Y Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region is taking a 21st-century approach in thanking its many donors.

On Nov. 20, supporters joined representatives of the organization in the lobby of the Taggart Family Y to unveil a new digital donor wall.

Interactive and easily updatable, the donor wall recognizes those who contribute to the ongoing operations of the YMCA-YWCA, as well as providing information on the programs and services made possible

from donations.

As far as they are concerned, this is the first interactive digital donor wall in Ottawa.

“It can be updated with the click of a mouse, as opposed to a fixed wall updated once a year,” said Jack Silverstein, vice-president of financial development.

“It’s as dynamic as we want it to be.”

Donor support is critical for the operations of the YMCA-YWCA. The organization recently reached its capital campaign goal of $15 million, allowing the organization to provide housing for 1,000 individuals and

education and support for tens of thousands of others.

That community-sourced $15 million was added to operating revenues and government investment to come up with the $35 million needed to update the operations of the Taggart Family Y, Ruddy Family Y, and the Bonnenfant Family Y Outdoor Education and Leadership Centre.

“It allows us to offer the life-saving programming we offer here,” said Silverstein, adding the capital campaign’s results will make the doubling of capacity a possibility over the next 20 years. “We want to ensure (our) living quarters are

brought up to speed.”

Of the private donations, a full 90 per cent come from individuals, rather than corporations. The sheer magnitude of private donations points to the reputation the YMCA-YWCA holds in the community.

Sue Oneid, a volunteer with the group fitness program, has donated her time, talent and energy since first walking through the building’s doors in 1987. What began as a simple enrolment in a pre-natal fitness class soon turned into a dedication to volunteering.

Oneid has since been the chairwoman the YMCA-YWCA’s Strong

PUT A NEW CAMPANALE HOME UNDER YOUR TREE THIS CHRISTMAS!

Kids Campaign.

“My kids were brought up through the Y and have been the beneficiaries of the lessons and fitness offered here,” said Oneid. “It’s a place where families gather – a really healthy environment for kids, for sure.”

The Y represents a friendly environment – a small community within a community – for people new to the city, said Oneid, adding that no one is turned away from participating.

One individual who found shelter and a new start in life at the Taggart Family Y was Sebastien Crow Shoe, who tried to escape an abusive family situation in Calgary two years ago only to find himself in another one in Ottawa.

“I had just turned 19, had no friends, and was unable to sleep out of fear,” said Crow Shoe. “My selfworth was dropping, my schoolwork was suffering.”

After a particularly abusive episode, the youth found himself in a shelter – safe from his abuser, but with nowhere else to turn.

“The Youth Services Bureau handed me a pamphlet that saved my life,” he recalled. “I’ve now been in the Second Stage Housing (For Youth) program for nearly a year – it’s been an important part of my success.”

Crow Shoe plans to wrap up his high school education within a couple of months. He encouraged anyone needing help to ask for it.

Deirdre Speers, president and chief executive of the YMCA/YWCA of the National Capital Region, said that without donor contributions, people like Serbastien and so many more like him would not have access to programs that can offer them shelter and hope for a better life.

You made do or did without in Depression years MARY COOK

Bridlewood Community Church of the Nazarene

Mary Cook’s Memories on an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready.

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

Even before we went to school, Mother would have started the soap making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and half-fill the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step of the process.

Mother would pry off the lid with a knife and pour the lye over the hot water. Great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water, which would cool off almost immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed in the water. There was an old wood spoon with a very long handle that was

used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water.

It had a piece of binder twine through the little hole in the handle, and when not used for soap-making it hung in the summer kitchen so that it wouldn’t accidentally be used for something that would be put in our stomachs.

The fact that Mother wore a pair of Father’s old work gloves confirmed in my mind how dangerous the lye was.

We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove so the contents turned to liquid, were brought close to the table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would be stirred into the mixture.

Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla.

That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing.

Audrey said the hardest part of soap making was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours.

H

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

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

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

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

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

Mother announced at breakfast that morning that Audrey and I were expected to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table. “I’m making soap today,” she said.

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

How to Sell Your Kanata Home Without an Agent and Save the Commission 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.

Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. 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

you've read a new report entitled "Sell Your Own Home" which has been prepared especially for homesellers like you. You'll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process.

Inside this report, you'll find 10 inside tips to selling your home by yourself which will help you sell for the best price in the shortest amount of time. You'll find out what real estate agents don't want you to know.

washings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water.

By the time the evening was well on its way, Mother would bring the trays onto the kitchen table which had been covered with copies of the Renfrew Mercury, and using the sharpest knife in the house, she would cut the soap into bars.

Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water,

and it wasn’t unusual at all to have a piece of lye scrape across your body during a bath, leaving a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat.

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

It would be a long time before Mother finally bought a bar of real soap. I thought it smelled just as bad as what she had made. It was

www.downtowncarletonplace.com

R0012438902_1128

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

By time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, or at least that was Mother’s hope. But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into

bars. While that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a finger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut.

I could never figure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard. When it did (and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday

called Lifebouy, it was bright red and even my brother Emerson, who hated the lye soap as much as I did, said it smelled only a bit better than the smell of the cow byre. The smell lingered on your body for hours.

One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory, but it was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper and stored away until her next visit.

So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without.

INGREDIENTS

Cake • 250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose or cake-and-pastry flour • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 4 eggs • 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup • 250 ml (1 cup) brown sugar, not packed • icing sugar Filling • 250 ml (1 cup) whipping cream • 25 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tbsp) maple syrup Topping • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) whipping cream • 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup Garnishes • Cocoa, shaved chocolate and whole cranberries.

PREPARATION

Line a 45-by-29 centimetre (17-by-11 inch) rimmed

baking sheet with parchment.

Spray it with no-stick vegetable spray and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to blend well.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and maple syrup using an electric mixer until it’s slightly thickened. Gradually add the brown sugar, beating until thick.

Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture in three additions, folding gently after each addition. Spread evenly in the pan and bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown and firm to the touch.

Sift about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of icing sugar onto a clean tea towel in an even layer. Invert the cake and pan onto the towel, remove the pan, and carefully peel off the paper.

Roll up the cake and towel together (begin at the short or long edge, depending on whether you want a longer

thin or shorter thick Yule log).

Let it cool completely on a rack.

For the filling, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled medium bowl until firm peaks form. Unroll the cake and spread filling evenly over the surface. Roll up the cake again, using towel to help. (Cake can be wrapped and frozen at this point if desired, or frozen after adding the whipped cream topping.)

For the topping and garnishes, whip the cream with the maple syrup in a chilled

medium bowl until firm peaks form. Completely cover the top, sides and both ends of rolled cake with the cream.

With a fork, make tree bark marks on the surface, then dust with cocoa if you’re using it.

Cover the cake and refrigerate or wrap it well and freeze until you’re ready to serve it.

Transfer from the freezer to refrigerator half an hour before serving. Serve with your choice of garnishes.

News - Lowertown’s King Edward Task Force says it feels abandoned following the demise of plans for an east-end interprovincial bridge, as trucks continue to barrel down the community’s main street.

The task force’s chairman Michel Vallée provided an update on where efforts to make the street a safer place are at the Lowertown Community Association annual general meeting on Nov. 12.

Created 27 years ago, the task force to brings attention to the temporary truck route along King Edward Avenue that has been established since the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge was built in 1965.

Vallée spoke of his disappointment with the lack of support he said he feels the community has had from the city, the province and the federal government concerning truck traffic in Lowertown, adding the cancellation of plans for an interprovincial bridge appears to be the final straw.

“We are disappointed with the cancellation of the bridge study,” Vallée said. “We had hoped that we would get some support from our MPP, we didn’t get much support from our mayor. It just seems this was all a waste of money.”

The six-year-old National Capital Commission study cost $7 million before the province indicated it would not support any of the three proposed routes mentioned in the study in June.

The NCC stopped the study shortly thereafter.

Since that announcement, the task force responded to the city with a list of five traffic calming measures to help mitigate problems it sees on King Edward.

Among the requests are reduced speeds, segregated bicycle lanes and moving speed limit signs to the median from the sides of the road.

The latter request has been fulfilled, but Vallée reported the city has not been very responsive with some of the other requests.

Because of this, he said the committee will become more active, working harder to get its voice heard.

Meanwhile, only days before the Lowertown meeting, Rideau-Vanier

Coun. Mathieu Fleury received support from the city’s transportation committee to ask the province to partner with the city on a study looking at the creation of a tunnel from the Ottawa River to Highway 417.

The option is not a new one to some Lowertown residents, including Vallée, whose committee has long called for a tunnel.

Fleury’s motion will ask the city to formally ask the province to partner and help pay for a feasibility assessment for such a tunnel.

Fleury said the study could cost around $750,000, which would be shared between the city and province.

Approximately 2,500 trucks travel through Lowertown on King Edward on a typical weekday and that number is expected to increase by one or two per cent each year. The truck route sees trucks using Waller and Rideau streets as well.

In the past, the possibility of a tunnel was excluded from interprovincial transportation studies due to technical and operational reasons, including the expense of digging a tunnel under such a densely developed area.

Residents at the Lowertown meeting welcomed the potential fix and spent a portion of the evening discussing the feasibility of such a plan.

Fleury said the study would be different from the one scuttled by the NCC. “We are only going to look at Ottawa’s concerns,” Fleury said. “It will be much easier to deal with one or two governments instead of the NCC and other provinces.”

When asked about a potential timeline, Fleury could not comment, but Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Bélanger, who also attended the meeting, said he felt, based on reported costs, a study like the one the city may undertake could take close to two years to complete.

“We want to solve the truck problem and we need to solve the problem and a tunnel could work,” Bélanger said.

But Bélanger also said he felt all the trucks needed to be taken out of the core, and said truck depots need to be placed on either end of the city.

Bloess wants to fast-track Hunt Club extension brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Plans to construct an eastward extension of Hunt Club Road could happen sooner than several decades from now, if Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess has his way.

A $67.5-million project to connect the new Hunt Club/Highway 417 interchange to Innes Road is technically in the city’s long-term plans, but it’s so far down the list that city officials say there won’t be money to build it until sometime after 2031.

That wasn’t good enough for Bloess, who thinks transportation planners mistakenly gave the project too low of a score.

But he believes if staff looks at the extension in two parts – from Innes Road to Walkley Road and from Walkley to Hunt Club – the priorities could change.

“Right now the way the transportation master plan is set up, it’s not on the horizon,” Bloess said. “I think the key for us is to show that this link is more important than what our staff and consultants are telling us.”

Bloess asked his colleagues on the transportation committee to direct staff to break the future Hunt Club extension project into two phases. Instead, the committee referred the idea directly to city council for consideration. Council was set to vote on the idea as part of the overall transportation master plan on

Nov. 26, after this newspaper’s deadline.

“They have under-rated, or underscored it, so the motion was for them to go back and look at the scoring again… then figure out how to move it up on the books,” Bloess said. “One of the ways is to move it up in segments.”

Bloess says the city needs to find a way to start on the eastern extension of Hunt Club Road within the next five years.

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was behind Bloess’ motion. He wrote in an email that Bloess’s idea “is a great way of moving this forward.”

“We must find ways of ensuring that it is in the minds of the city and the TMP and look for ways to advance it for the future,” Monette wrote.

But Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais wasn’t impressed.

Blais said he felt that the suggestion should have come earlier in the consultations on the transportation master plan, which kicked off on Oct. 9.

“It’s coming out of thin air. It’s never been looked at. You’re basically designing roadways on the fly,” Blais said. “And then think you’re going to be successful in persuading your colleagues to build a multi-million dollar road that … hasn’t been studied and was pretty much wrote up on the back of a napkin.”

The environmental assessment for both phases of the Hunt Club extension was completed several years ago.

for projects the city expects to be able to build by 2031, said Colin Simpson, a senior program manager in transportation planning with the city.

When assessing a road project’s pri-

If staff finds that splitting up the eastern Hunt Club extension into two parts results in one portion being deemed a higher priority, the project could be moved up the list above the cut-off line

Aries, delay your plans for the time being. A number of unexpected tasks that will require your undivided attention in the coming day, so clear your schedule.

Assume the role of the strong and silent type this week, Taurus.

You do not have to share your opinions with everyone, as an air of mystery may boost your popularity.

It can be easy to allow excitement to overtake your logic, Gemini.

But you need to be patient and not allow exuberance to interfere with the tasks at hand. That is a recipe for trouble.

Cancer, a hefty workload at the office may zap your desire to do much else. However, don’t pass up the opportunity when a social engagement beckons this week.

Leo, you will have to continue your rather hectic pace this week, even when you start to feel tired. Fortunately, you are excited about some of the things on your to-do list.

Libra, conflicting emotions arise in the week ahead. You have the desire to fulfill people’s expectations of you, but you also just want some time to yourself.

Scorpio, maintaining your focus on chores is nearly impossible this week, when you are easily distracted by anything else that sounds interesting. Try to get your work done.

Reestablish your priorities, Sagittarius. Doing so will help you live up to your end of the bargain on various commitments. If necessary, ask others for help.

Expect to be busy for the rest of the month, Capricorn. With potential birthday celebrations and holiday tasks to complete, spare moments are few and far between.

Aquarius, learning a new skill this week will only add to your already vast repertoire of abilities. This is one more reason to have a positive attitude.

Virgo, getting involved with the right people now opens doors that previously may have been closed to you. Do not squander the opportunity to use these new contacts.

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!

Emphasize feeling good about yourself this week, Pisces. Doing so will enable you to help others in the near future.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
