‘We don’t want fiery crashes over our open sewage pond’: Chiarelli Continued from page 1
Airplanes are expected to travel 300 metres above the pond, and gulls and geese typically fly 150 metres over the ground, Swail said. But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli isn’t convinced. “We don’t want fiery crashes over our open sewage pond,” he said, adding birds are the two top causes of airplane crashes. Chiarelli said he didn’t receive notification about the letter to the NCC until a month after it was sent. DeFalco said she hoped the letter would put the brakes on a project that doesn’t make sense to residents. “People were pretty upset,” she said of learning of the project last winter, “but were willing to take it on the chin if there was a discernible benefit.” But no benefit is immediately apparent to her. DeFalco and Chiarelli both said at the first public meeting — held in January – city staff said the rationale for the pond project is a component of the Ottawa River Action Plan. At the next public consultation, residents were told the project was part of Stage 2 light rail — the same argument that was presented at a June environment committee meeting. A memo to council in June compares the capital cost for the stormwater pond and underground storage tanks at the station, putting the price tag at $18 million for the pond versus $8 million for the tanks. “The (river action plan) argument got picked apart when staff said there would be no discernible impact on the Ottawa River,” Chiarelli said. “The pond was first identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro (storm water management) ... in 2011,” wrote Alain Gonthier, director of city infrastructure services. Gonthier said the pond is also “an important requirement of the city’s Stage 2 LRT project, as its construction will compensate for the run-off from the future Baseline LRT station.” “As the pond is required to address storm water management requirements for the Baseline LRT Station, its design, approvals and construction have been bundled with the Stage 2 LRT project,” he said. “The
(Pinecrest Creek/Westboro) pond is one of the numerous projects being bundled with the LRT expansion, and is considered essential to the project.” But Chiarelli is skeptical. There may have been a reason to expand the storm water system when a light rail maintenance facility was planned at Baseline station. But the station has been substantially built for seven years and little or no increase in footprint is expected now that the maintenance facility is being moved to Moodie Drive, he said. “The only thing left is to bring the Tallwood (Drive) portion (of the light rail station) up to ground level,” he said. DeFalco, who has been working with area residents with expertise in law, engineering and science, said not only does she not believe the pond is needed, but the way it’s being constructed won’t help. “It needs to be on the other side of Woodroffe to go with the flow of the water,” she said. “The way it is now, the water will have to make an artificial turn to get into the pond. The water the levels will be low and it will have to be filled (in summer months) to avoid a stench.” DeFalco said excavating the pond could drive out wildlife, which includes a number of monarch butterflies. No help seems to be coming from Transport Canada, however, in an emailed response to Metroland Media from Transport media relations officer Pierre Manoni, it seems the agency is OK with the city’s plans to avoid attracting birds. “Transport Canada will closely monitor the design, construction and post-construction to ensure that mitigation measures and design conditions are respected,” the email reads. DeFalco says next steps will be asking for an audit of the project from the province. The last resort is seeking a judicial review. Defalco, who worked in the city’s parks and recreation department for a number of years, says she has major problems with the public consultation on the project and wants to see a return to a culture of engaging with residents. “This is just another example of a chink in the chain,” she said of recent public projects where residents were left in the dark.

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road. Study Area The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed. Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive. In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension. Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place. Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018. Get involved! You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website. The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study. Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website. To have your name placed on the study mailing list or to submit comments or questions, please contact: Asad Yousfani, P.Eng.

City continues to grow green fleet JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
This year, the city has acquired 11 new hybrid vehicles, the transportation committee heard on Oct. 4. Of the 11 new vehicles, eight of them were for bylaw services. For 2018, the city plans to spend $25.7 million to replace
97 vehicles and pieces of equipment for greener alternatives. There are also plans to buy 16 new vehicles in the coming year. Funding for the extra 16 will be sought during the upcoming budget process. The city could begin introducing electric vehicles into its fleet this year, where it makes sense and meets operational needs.
Rideau-Vanier Coun. asked about the recent purchase of nine propane-powered Zambonis, instead of electric. Staff response was that the market doesn’t have anything that works for the city’s need in electric format. They’ve tried four this summer and they can’t do the job at our arenas. The city currently owns 72 hybrid vehicles.
The work this year to make our fleet more efficient includes the installation of antiidling devices on all 77 ambulances and two emergency response vehicles — as well as 21 telematics devices to track idling time. The telematics devices are part of a pilot to explore the benefits of tracking the idling time and their effectiveness.

United Way drops annual campaign, embraces new fundraising model MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
The United Way is piecing together a new way to fundraise. On Sept. 28, the United Way Ottawa asked 150 of its leaders, supporters, organizations and charities to come to city hall to build a puzzle. The puzzle, a cherry wood laser etching of the map of Ottawa, is meant to show off all the hard work these individuals do for this city. “What we are doing is asking people, to do something, that they do every day and what our wall inspiration means to us. That people are deliberate and thoughtful in making Ottawa what it is,” said Michael Allen, president of the United Way.
The puzzle is part of the organization’s plan to update its Wall of Inspiration in Jean Pigott Place. “It’s United Way’s ability to mobilize a city of changemakers to come together on a day like today that shows the true power behind the work they do with the community,” said Mayor Jim Watson, before placing the first piece of the mural on its blueprint during the event. Allen said some of the pieces might even have their own messages on the back, adding overall the puzzle pieces are meant to showcase what a strong, giving community Ottawa is. The map will be comprised of over 500 wooden squares to make up a 250 square foot mural installation.
The map will be a part of the permanent new Wall of Inspiration and will include the 800 community builders’ names that have been recognized by United Way since 2000 on the Wall of Inspiration. The new wall will be unveiled in the spring of 2018. Over the years, the United Way has typically held a fall campaign launch at the end of September, early October. This event was held instead of the organization’s annual campaign launch. In fact, Allen said there would be no official launch of a campaign and no specific total to reach. This year, Allen said, they are moving forward with a new, more modern model of

how to fundraise. “In the United Way, we are no longer limited to an annual campaign,” Allen said. “We felt that a campaign launch would not do justice that we have done over the spring and summer.” Allen is referring to the fundraising the organization did to help fight the fentanyl crisis in Ottawa, raising $200,000 this summer. He also pointed out online donations happen all yearround and limiting it to a time frame doesn’t really make sense anymore. There still will be the Ottawa-area workplace launches - individual companies, as well as the federal, provincial and city workplace fundraising, which still start in the fall.
Cure for Women and Children is holding their second Sheether Mela winter fair on Oct. 15 at the SNMC Community Centre, 3020 Greenbank Rd., from noon to 6:30 p.m. Traditional foods will be served, such as pitha and mishti desserts, and there will also be a bazaar where vendors will be selling multicultural clothing and food. The CWC holds the event to raise money for impoverished women and children in Bangladesh. Another part of the festivities is the children’s art competition. Kids are told to bring their best artwork, and those who make the winning pieces will take home prizes. The rules are as follows: · The theme must be ‘Fun at the Mela’ (fair); · Drawings and paintings only, on 8.5” by 11” paper, or on same-size material only;
· Name, age and phone number must be on the back of the art; · Any mark or identifying information on the front will make the piece ineligible to win; · Submit at the CWC activity table before 3 p.m.; · Winners will be announced at 4 p.m. and must be present to receive prizes. “Two years ago, we asked for support from the Ottawa community to improve health access for impoverished women and children in Bangladesh,” the CWC wrote in a release. “The response was of tremendous kindness, which helped provide funding for 35 surgeries and 15 pieces of medical equipment. That’s 35 women and countless children who have better access to health care and a respectable, dignified life.” CWC events fundraise for poor women suffering from birth-related injuries such as Obstetric Fistula and Prolapse, and medical access for newborns in Bangladesh.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2017
Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived. It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.
Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.
Your donation will help care for these cats. To donate and/or request more information, please contact:

OPINION
Connected to your community
Johnstons had a common touch
T
he position of Governor General in Canada is largely ceremonial. Granted, the Governor General, as head of state, does have some constitutional powers but these have rarely been exercised. In 1926, for instance, the so-called “King/Byng Affair” saw governor general Lord Byng refuse to call a new election as requested by prime minister Mackenzie King. But just because the post is ceremonial does not mean that it is irrelevant or superfluous. The recently departed governor general David Johnston showed how the position can make a difference, even as a monarchist figurehead in our mostly democratic society. That’s because Johnston, as governor general, managed to bring government closer to the people simply by being a sincere, down-to-earth, regulartype person. He is even a former hockey player and you can’t be more Canadian than that. He talked to many and showed a particular affection for children. Most importantly, he seemed to enjoy his duties and meeting people along the way. It must be admitted that he was anything but a household name when first appointed to the position in 2010, succeeding Michaelle Jean. Sure, he
was an author and university president but he was pretty much under the public’s radar. He simply was not widely known. But perhaps this in some ways was a blessing in disguise as expectations were not high, allowing him to quickly exceed them, to the benefit of all Canadians. His secret weapon, as it were, was not only his charming manner but also his equally outgoing wife, Sharon. It turned out that in the appointment of David as governor general, Canadians got two for the price of one. They worked together, with Sharon becoming a familiar sight at events, both with her husband and often on her own, dispensing her own brand of regal dignity mixed with the common touch. So, we as Canadians have had it fortunate over the past seven years with David, assisted by his wife, handling this post of governor general. He gave the position a likeable dignity which was a winning combination. So, thank you, David, and, yes, Sharon as well, for showing all of us Canadians that the post of governor general is meaningful, not in political power but certainly in people power. They made the position human and relatable. If only all of our elected politicians could do as well!

Ottawa an amazing opportunity for Amazon To the editor,
Across North America, cities are sharpening their pencils and putting on their best business attire. As you may have heard, e-commerce giant Amazon is looking for a second headquarters in North America, a massive project the company is calling HQ2. Amazon has triggered a fierce competition amongst cities like Ottawa for a lucrative project that will generate a staggering $5 billion in investments and 50,000 jobs. Once HQ2’s doors open, a majority of employees with have an annual paycheque exceeding $100,000 per year. Whoever lands HQ2 will see a massive boost to the local economy. An entire city will benefit from the spinoff including taxi drivers, restaurants and retailers. Amazon has set out some key criteria in their selection that puts Ottawa in a good starting position. Amazon is looking for a sizable city with more than one million people. They will consider an urban or suburban location, which bodes well for neighbourhoods
outside the Greenbelt. The suburban areas are also perfect fit for greenfield development, which means Amazon can build from the ground up to meet their specifications and a low environmental footprint. With a new-build scenario, the city will need to ensure that the utility infrastructure servicing costs for our business parks are competitive with other competing cities. Fortunately, the city recently did its homework to get a better fix on infrastructure costs for vacant employment lands. Our well anchored high-tech community is a good indicator that we have a stable and business-friendly environment. Ottawa helped build its high-tech reputation as a centre for innovation through research and development. Since 2016, Amazon has operated a relatively small foothold office in Kanata – hopefully a solid testimonial that Ottawa is the place to be. As a high-flying international company, Amazon will need access to a world class airport. Ottawa’s airport continues to earn top marks in its class and currently handles
many flights to U.S. destinations with the potential for more. From my perspective, the airport authority always seemed ready to bend over backwards for more flight service options to the airport. The airport’s energy and determination will be critical to secure direct flights to places like Amazon’s sister HQ in Seattle. Amazon’s long term success will depend on the talent and skills of its people. Ottawa is fertile ground with the highest concentration of scientists and engineers and the highest concentration of tech talent in Canada. Our four post-secondary educational institutions produce some of the best and brightest graduates to help local companies grow and succeed. There are many great potential sites across our city including, attractive prospects in south suburban Ottawa. At the end of the day, given the sheer size of HQ2, any location in Ottawa will help float all boats across the region, province and nation. Steve Desroches Ottawa

Coach kids to develop good habits
T
ake a trip to my house on any given weekday and you’re sure to find me nagging one child or another about socks on the floor, lunchboxes left in backpacks or homework sheets lying about on the kitchen counter. I’m sure the kids have long learned to tune out mom’s voice. It’s like a practised meditation for them. Me: “Can you pick up your socks, please?” Child: Blank stare and nod. “Ommmm.” But every once in a while, without being asked, a child actually does put his lunchbox on the counter and dumps the remains of a day-old lunch in the compost before going back to wrestle his brother on the couch. Sometimes, rarely, I come home from work and discover a sock-free entrance way to my home. It’s like a breath of fresh air – literally. Until recently, these inci-
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse dents went largely unnoticed and unacknowledged by me. It was only when I had reached the height of frustration at all the disorganization in the house and amongst children, generally, that I sat down to assess the situation. I realized that the kids were not leaving their socks all over the house all the time. The times they did, however, I was all over them, nagging and yelling. The kids were habitually coming in the house and putting their lunchboxes on the counter immediately. The one
time they came in through the back door and forgot, I exhibited my extreme annoyance. Not once had I taken the time to acknowledge the good behaviour, nor to demonstrate what was expected. It was actually the words of a soccer coach that made me give my head a shake. “Your son is one of the most coachable kids I’ve ever met,” he said. “He listens, he’s respectful, he learns, he tries hard to improve.” The same day – no joke – my other son’s football coach, whom I met properly for the
first time, said to me, “It is a joy to coach your son. He is really engaged. He wants to learn. He brings such a good attitude to every practice and game.” Coachable – what a great trait! In reality, of course, we all have the potential to coach and to be coached. But sometimes, as coaches, we drop the ball too early. Taking some guidance from a book called “Smart but Scattered,” I decided it was time to really engage all three kids in the development of their executive skills. Authors Peg Dawson and Richard Guare note that we too often expect children to learn things like organization, time management and emotional response by osmosis, rather than taking the time to hold their hands and guide them through. We may start out well – helping them make a homework schedule, for example – but we detach ourselves from the process before they’ve had
time to master the skill. Teachers and parents could do better to recognize areas where kids are truly struggling in areas like task initiation and completion, organization and time management – and commit to hands-on teaching , not disengaging until the child is truly able to manage independently of the coach, argue the authors. Too often we let them ride the bike on their own too soon, when what they really need is the coach running along behind them holding the back of the seat, says Dawson. Using the sock scattering as an example, in order to develop better habits, I had to physically lead my child to the socks, ask him to pick them up and walk with him to the basement laundry to see the task to completion. This sounds labour intensive, but over time my involvement has become less. The next phase was walking him over to the socks and asking him to pick them up, but letting him take them to the laundry on his own. Eventually, it only required a gentle
reminder to “please pick up your socks.” But here’s the thing – until he’s consistently coming home from sports and putting his socks in the laundry on autopilot, I have to stay with him, as coach. Of course, executive skill development goes far deeper than sock organization. But whether it’s staying on top of homework, managing a sports schedule, or learning to develop appropriate emotional response, the coach must patiently stay with the child until they’ve mastered a particular element. And be right there to cheer them on when something goes right. Teachers and parents could do a better job of recognizing where kids are deficient, giving them the tools and hand-holding they need to develop and master a skill and then watch them soar. It’s a time-consuming and not altogether perfect formula. But my sock-free entranceway is evidence that, with a little patience and teaching from the adults, all kids really are coachable.

French Catholic student trustee making the most of high school experience BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
For Lindsey Alcy, the idea of being a student trustee for the French Catholic school board was just the next great step in her high school experience. “I’m loving it so far,” said Lindsey. “It’s a very great opportunity and I love discussing directly with the board issues with the schools.” Student trustees in Grade 11 or 12 are elected by the student body to represent them at board meetings. The Ontario government man-
BBQ FEST
dates that there be at least one student member to vote on the board and they have access to most of the rights and responsibilities that their municipally-elected counterparts do. Lindsey is a student at PierreSavard secondary school in Barrhaven and on top of her duties as a student and trustee, she makes the time to join as many committees as possible, such as the anti-bullying and LGBTQ committees. She played violin for over eight years and participated in Ottawa Junior Youth Orchestra for two years. Lindsey may love music,
but her real passion is working with children. She volunteers at CHEO as much as she can and recently took part in the RBC Race for the Kids on Sept. 24. Lindsey has nothing but positive things to say about her experience as a student trustee so far and she encourages others to try it if they get the opportunity. “Trust in your abilities and be confidant,” said Lindsey when asked what she’d say to other students interested in being a trustee. “Remember why you’re here and be yourself.”

Ottawa police arrest suspect linked to robberies across city CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
Ottawa Police have laid robbery charges against a 38-year-old Ottawa man in a series of bank robberies that happened across the city, the last of which was on Oct. 3. The robbery unit had been investigating a number of bank robberies that occurred over the last several weeks. The robberies occurred at banks on Sept. 7 at the 1600 block of Heron Road, Sept. 13 at the 0-100 block of Main Street and Sept. 25 at the 3700 block of Strandherd Drive. In each case the lone male suspect entered the bank in disguise and jumped into the employee area behind the counter. In each case the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect never drew a weapon and there were no injuries. On Oct. 3 at 1:15 p.m. the suspect entered a bank situated along the 700 block of March Road. The suspect jumped over the counter and demanded cash. The suspect then fled with an
undisclosed amount of cash. A short time later, an officer observed a vehicle on the eastbound 417 and followed it off the highway. When an attempt was made to pull the vehicle over, its driver sped off. The officer at this point had already identified the driver and did not engage in a pursuit. “The officer had the opportunity to get up beside the vehicle to identify the suspect,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch. He also said the officer did not attempt to pursue as it was safer. The vehicle was later found abandoned near the end of Churchill Avenue, near Highway 417. According to police the suspect was located just under an hour later in a parking garage near Carling Avenue and Churchill Avenue by front line and canine officers who apprehended the suspect. The suspect was later treated for a minor dog bite at hospital then released. The suspect is charged with 12 counts of robbery, four counts of wearing a disguise, five counts of breach of recognizance and failing to stop for police. He will appear in court on Oct. 4.

Ottawa Humane Society announces changes to policy Transportation of animals no longer offered, training for dogs to increase CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
The Ottawa Human society has announced a few changes that take effect early next year. These changes come in the wake of the removal of the humane society’s voting rights
with the OSPCA. According to the OHS, they will be meeting with their partners, including those from the City of Ottawa, to talk about options to transition the role of emergency transports. The OHS says that this will cut down on the confusion the community had on who to call if an animal needs emergency transportation to the OHS. This will serve to fix what the OHS has dubbed an “inefficient system.” That means the society will no longer be providing transportation for animals in distress but, needless to
say, the OHS will continue to work with rescued animals once they arrive at the shelter. “Animals first has always the guiding principle of the OHS,” said deputy director Sharon Miko. Miko also said that the change should alleviate some of the confusion on who to call when an animal is in distress. For example, after the decision by the OSPCA to take away the OHS ability to investigate animal cruelty they lost their ability to help an animal trapped in a hot car, instead they have to direct the call to
the OSPCA, but if a car hit the animal, the OHS is the one to call. Once the discussions with their partners are completed there should be one catch-all number people can call if they see an animal in distress. The second change is that they will be increasing their intervention with dogs with behaviour issues, so that more of them can find new homes. With online classifieds, owners are selling their pets to other people and if those people find the animal to be too much they either sell it again or bring it to the OHS.
What the OHS is finding is that dogs that have been re-homed several times lack a lot of the structure that a well-mannered dog should have. Now they will be using the resources from transportation and using them to increase their training potential at the OHS. As for now, its business as usual at the OHS as these changes won’t be implemented until the new year. For more information on the changes, visit the Ottawa Humane Society website at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Drive down an established community within the Greenbelt and it’s likely a lush canopy of trees will be seen dotting front yards, ready to change colours any day now. It’s a dream for those in some of Ottawa’s newer suburban communities, where restrictions have prevented large trees, and sometimes trees at all, from going in front yards. “I hated the vision that we had,” said planning committee chair Coun. Jan Harder at the Sept 26 meeting while discussing a 2005 rule passed by city council limiting the types of trees that can be planted. “Just imagine if the biggest thing you get is a crab apple – if you’re even lucky enough to get any kind of a tree.” New guidelines were presented to the city’s planning committee on Sept. 26 that outline ways more types of trees can be planted in new and existing subdivisions that have a specific type of soil. After the city was held liable after a tree damaged a building’s foundation, a 2005 policy came into effect that prevented all but four types of trees
from being planted on city property where sensitive marine clay soils exist. The approved trees don’t need a lot of water and have to be planted a certain distance away from a building’s foundation. It’s created a situation where many new developments built since then have streets of only Mur maple, serviceberry, crab apple and Japanese lilac, and streets with no trees at all. The report says that more than half of the vacant land within the city’s urban limits has the potential to contain the sensitive soils. Guidelines were reviewed by the Greater Ottawa Homebuilder’s Association and city staff, and the report was put together. “When we started building some of these new subdivisions, not only were we shocked as the developer that we were able to plant so few trees, but we were hearing loud and clear from (homeowners) they were disappointed in those street tree canopies that would never happen,” said Rob Pierce, a member of the Greater Ottawa Homebuilder’s Association. He said with higher density housing, it’s a constant competition for space between parking spots, sidewalks, and
cycle paths. Staff who presented the report showed an example of a tree-lined street located near another street with barely any trees on it at all. Harder said that street could have been any street in Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, or development in the east end since 2005. “It’s just so evidential when you go and look any of these streets,” said the Barrhaven ward councillor. “You have 18 town homes in a row with two spruce trees on either end of the 18 homes.” Peter Giles, the city planner who wrote the report, said the most visible change will be more medium sized trees in new developments. Harder said she’s been talking to developers about how to remedy the communities built in the last 12 years that don’t have sufficient trees. No firm plan has been decided on yet, but there is the possibility the city and developers could fund, or partially fund, adding trees to existing communities build under the former guidelines. “I think there’s some simple ways we go back, and we can put some in now,” she said. “It’s too early to say (how), but just because we’ve come to this point today where we have a plan, doesn’t mean we close the door.”

Most new suburban developments have small trees, like this ones pictured here, because of previous restrictions.

Remains from Barrack Hill laid to rest at Beechwood BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Brier Dodge/Metroland
Jamal Jackson Rogers, Ottawa’s English Poet Laureate, recites William Wilfred Campbell’s Not Unto Endless Dark at the ceremony for the burial of those found at the former Barrack Hill Cemetery during light rail construction. The remains of one of the 79 individuals was placed in the small casket pictured at the front of the Sacred Space at the Beechwood Cemetery on Oct. 1, about a week after the other 78 had been buried.
The remains of 79 Bytown residents have found a final resting place at the Beechwood Cemetery. A formal service was held at Canada’s national cemetery on Oct. 1, with the remains of one of the people found during light rail construction in a small casket carried in by several pallbearers. The remains of the other 78 people found had been buried earlier in the week. In 2013, light rail construction staff found human remains from the former Barrack Hill Cemetery, the first public cemetery in what was then Bytown, and used from about 1827 to 1845. When the cemetery closed, many families reinterred their family members elsewhere; many to Sandy Hill Cemetery which is now beneath Macdonald Gardens Park in Lowertown. City historians said some
bodies were left, likely because the families’ could either not afford to have them moved, had moved away, or the entire family had been victim of disease. The remains have been at the Canadian Museum of History since they were discovered. Timothy Killam, Beechwood Cemetery chair, said the remains will rest among many prominent figures, including 26 former mayors, and well-known scientists, poets and politicians including Sir Robert Borden. “The city could not have chosen a more fitting place to reinter the individuals laid to rest at Barrack Hill Cemetery,” Killam said. “Those who helped our city, who possibility worked on the Rideau Canal and eventually laid down roots in the early created capital of the newly-formed country. “ Mayor Jim Watson said the ceremony was important to recognize the contribution of Ottawa’s early settlers to the city as it is today. “Life was hard for many in the 1800s. Entire families, in
fact, died during the malaria and cholera outbreaks of 1832 and 1834,” Watson said. “As we honour the contributions and sacrifices of early settlers we recognize it’s incumbent on us to entire proper and dignified burial.” The funeral service included readings from heads of various churches in Ottawa, including the Archbishop of Ottawa Terrence Prendergast, Pastor Jim Pot from Knox Presbyterian Church, Deacon Bob Birch of Saint Peter’s Church, Rev. Laurette Glasgow of the Church of St. Bartholemew, Rev. Dr. Karen Dimock of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the Venerable David Selzer of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. Watson said it’s expected more human remains will be found as light rail transit construction continues and any human remains found will be reinterred in the same manner at Beechwood. A memorial plaque will be installed at the gravesite.

The city has launched a pilot that will replace the alarms on snowplows, but saving your ears could come at a price. The existing alarms — which sound like a high-pitched beep — cost $29 per unit. The new ones — which are broadband and aim sound in the direction where the danger is — sound like more white noise. But the cost would be between $151 and $266 apiece. The cost difference has to do with the alarms’ decibel level. Some alarms would also come equipped with self-controlled volume that measures the background noise when determining how loud the alarm needs to be. The staff report says there are 213 salters, sanders and large pick up trucks. Installation and parts would cost $71,069. There are 89 vehicles under the category of front-end loaders, graders, tractors,
and sidewalk plows, which would cost a total of $48,121 to outfit with the new broadband alarms. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said during the Oct. 4 transportation committee meeting if the trial is successful, there will be a lot of happy residents. The information came to committee as a result of a direction following the 2017 review of the noise bylaw. Council directed staff to look at the use of broadband alarms to mitigate complaints about noise from snowplows. The pilot program will target areas of the city that have a higher incidence of 311 complaints about the noise from snowplows. If it’s successful, the city could change the whole fleet. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he hopes the city can encourage private snow removal companies to use the new alarms. He also said he’d like to see construction vehicles considered.

Hotel, KFC could come to Bells Corners BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Finger-licking good. And tax free. A city committee has approved grants that will waive property taxes to entice Kentucky Fried Chicken to Bells Corners. It’s part of a city program that gives grants to areas that need a leg up in terms of economic development.
A similar grant program was initiated on Carling Avenue in Bay Ward. In addition to paving the way for KFC, Bells Corners could be home to another hotel, if council approves another grant on Oct. 11. The grants are available for 10 years. First Bay Properties on Robertson Road is the grant recipient that was approved by the committee, receiving $178,000. The grants
are designed to offset increases to property taxes as a result of redevelopment. But the development could garner an additional $237,409 in tax revenue, staff estimates. Bells Corners is poised for growth as the Department of National Defence moves employees to the former Nortel campus on Carling Avenue, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli has said. The second grant is for Colon-
nade Development, which owns property on Moodie Drive. If approved by council, the developer is eligible for a $2.3-million grant to build a hotel and a restaurant. Right now, there’s a thrift store, a garage and auto distributor on the property. Bells Corners was picked for the community improvement program in 2016, following ones in place on Carling Avenue and in Orléans.

The provincial government is establishing an emergency task force to grapple with the continuing opioid crisis, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Oct. 3. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, speaking on Facebook Live, said the move wouldn’t have been possible without people like Kanata parent Sean O’Leary, who leads a group called We the Parents — which advocates for teens who are addicted to opioids and the family of Nick Cody. MacLeod introduced Nick’s Law — honouring a young constituent of hers that lost his life to opioid addiction several years ago — in the legislature on Oct. 3. “His mom and dad, Natalie and Steve, made a tremendous impact,” MacLeod said of the family speaking in the legislature. “The government has acknowledged there’s a crisis and it’s all hands on deck.” The government’s task force will be composed of front-line workers and people with lived experience. The
aim is to bring together stakeholders in harm reduction, addiction medicine and community-based mentalhealth services. As a first step, all public health units in the province will be provided with constant and up-to-date public education materials to support their efforts in the community. The task force will drive the public education campaign. “Opioid overdoses are preventable and with more awareness and education youth will have a better understanding of how lethal opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil are (sic),” MacLeod wrote in a press release. Nick’s Law proposed allocating 10 per cent of the province’s $57 million advertising budget be used on public education to increase awareness of the dangers of drugs like fentanyl, she added. As part of the provincial education campaign, pharmacists will provide information for an insert on the possible health risks of opioids and where people can access support services. The inset will be provided to anyone filling a prescription for opioids.

Ethel cuts her visit short
E
thel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life. And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came bag and baggage one day in the early Fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know...and we go way back.” Ethel claimed to live in Pembroke. But Father said he was pretty sure he didn’t have any relatives there. However, none of that seemed to matter. Ethel was here, and she planned on staying. I was delighted. I loved company. The only problem was my sister AuFOR SALE

MARY COOK Memories drey and I had to give up our bed, and sleep on the creton couch in the kitchen. It was too narrow to sleep side by side, so we had to sleep foot to foot, which didn’t please Audrey one bit. It was soon pretty obvious to everyone Ethel hadn’t spent much time on a farm before coming out to Northcote. It was a warm day for Fall, and Mother had the kitchen window wide open, looking out onto the grape arbour. When we sat down for supper, Ethel wondered what that strong smell was. We all looked at Father. He took his merry time to reply, chewing what he had FOR SALE
FOR SALE
in his mouth first. “That’s plain manure. We spread it out on the fields. What did you say your name was again?” “It’s Ethel, as you well know, Albert. And does that smell go away?” Father said, “Yes, when the snow comes.” Ethel just picked at her food, and more than once took her hanky out of her sleeve and covered her nose, pretending to wipe. And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs, out through the summer kitchen and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Of course, she also commented on the old copy of Eaton’s catalogue that hung from a nail inside the outhouse. Mother told Ethel it took some getting used to when she moved from New York FOR SALE

too, which didn’t help the situation one bit! Ethel was used to laying in bed in the morning, she told us when she climbed the stairs. Well, she was sure in for a surprise when Father could be heard in the kitchen starting the fire in the Findlay Oval the next morning. Mother said later, he did it on purpose. But he banged the stove lids, hit the poker against the wood box, and made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us. It wasn’t a good start to the day. Ethel smoked cigarettes, which I thought gave her a touch of elegance. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said. Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. FOR SALE
FOR SALE
He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind. Well, Ethel decided she had better get back to Pembroke, and if Father would just drive her to the station, she’d be on her way. To me, he seemed only too delighted to oblige. Her long-stay visit lasted exactly one day and one night. When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

City to place tighter restrictions on payday loan companies JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Council voted in favour of separating payday loan companies from banks on Sept. 27. The motion came from Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose ward is home to a number of payday loan outlets. Fleury’s been working with anti-poverty advocate groups to rein in the lenders – who some say unfairly target low-income neighbourhoods. There are 70 payday loan outlets city wide, and 30 outlets in a five-kilometre stretch between the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road, according to a report released in February by the Association of Communities for Reform Now, Ottawa Chapter. The provincial government has given the city the power to separate them out from banks with a zoning category, but it needed council approval. Last April council voted to work on licensing payday
lenders. The licensing, coupled with the new zoning category, would allow the city to control the proliferation of outlets. The city’s top planning boss, Stephen Willis, said the provincial legislation doesn’t deal with land use, so staff will work on a review over the next year. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who heads up the Information Technology subcommittee, said that he wants staff to consider looking at other forms of payday loans – such as those available online. “We want to make sure we are looking ahead to the next century,” he said. “Not Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland stuck in the last century.” A motion by Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to create separate Willis said staff will do what they can to stay cur- zoning for payday loan companies was approved by council on Sept. 27. rent on the issue. Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, who also has a concentration of payday loan companies in his ward, said it’s pretty obvious a payday loan company is not a bank. “I look forward to the planning department report,” he said.

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!
