the sport when he opened the Team Blackburn centre in 2001, but he came out of retirement in 2008, shortly after Maduk joined him and set her sights on a world title.

Now he’s fighting against martial artists closer in age to Maduk, who is in her last year as a junior.

News - If it’s approved in the city’s 2014 budget, the Shefford and Montreal road intersection will be getting a major overhaul, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

“There’s always been a traffic problem on Shefford hill… that is a very well known issue” Tierney said.

“You can get stuck for three lights trying to get up the hill.”

Especially during the morning rush hour, turning from Shefford Road onto Montreal Road can take a long time.

It’s further complicated because it isn’t clearly indicated which turning lane vehicles need to be in to access the highway, though the on-ramp is almost immediately after the intersection.

That causes a jam right after the turn, sometimes mid-intersection, because drivers are stopped as they try to merge to reach the highway on-ramp.

A recent traffic study said the intersection is below standard and can be improved, Tierney said. The city’s annual budget allows for several intersection modifications every year.

“It’s pending approval, but I feel very confident because it’s within the budget envelope,” the councillor said.

He said the modifications will completely change the intersection by aligning the north and south sides of the road, and extend turning lanes.

There will also be modifications to the light cycles to address peak traffic periods, like early morning and evenings between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. when traffic is heavy because of nearby soccer fields.

‘They call me his mini-me’: taekwondo black belt

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Kayla Maduk and Steven LeGrow have been training together since 2007. Maduk moved to a Blackburn Hamlet centre when she decided to train for the world championships as a pre-teen.

Maduk makes her way over after school in Barrhaven as often as six days a week.

Training together so much means it’s easy for the two of them to quickly jump into a sequence of moves – called a pattern – and perform it perfectly in sync.

The patterns event – a choreographed set of moves for each belt level - is both of their strengths, and the event Maduk is reining world champion in.

It’s a good sign for the coach and student to have such similar styles, LeGrow said. “If you look at a good instructor-student relationship, the patterns will be similar.� “They call me his Mini-Me,�

Maduk said, adding that the two are the only Canadians who have qualified for all five events as this week’s championship kicks off.

They both have calm personalities and cringe when thinking about hurting someone during a competition.

They both want to compete, “but do it with class,� Maduk said.

Neither will have to miss each other’s competitions this world championship, because the junior and senior events are on different days. Still, Maduk should be able to go onto the mat without needing last-minute help from her coach, LeGrow said. “If she doesn’t know what to do, I didn’t do my job,� he said.

The next year will bring changes for the two of them as LeGrow steps into retirement to instruct and coach and Maduk moves into university life and the senior age class. But neither of them have any plans for taekwondo at Team Blackburn to be any less in their life. “This is my life, my love and my passion,� LeGrow said. “Taekwondo gave me everything.� *

level at this world championship, a step higher than the title she’s defending from 2011. “I still have the heart of a world champion,� she said. “I just need to take someone else’s title.�

With world championships every other year, this is the second time LeGrow and Maduk have travelled to the competition together. They also travel together with other students to study under different coaches from around the world.

As the centre’s owner, and an instructor, LeGrow spends almost all his time at the small gym, training as he coaches.

Continued from page 1

“I’m fighting young, hungry, 25-year-olds,� said LeGrow, who has been training for 27 years. “But mentally and timing wise, I know the ropes.�

At 18, competitors move into the senior age group, but have to stay in the thirddegree black belt level – the level Maduk is in right now.

In order to move to fourthdegree black belt, competitors have to be at least 21.

LeGrow competes in the sixth-degree black belt, the highest division at the world championship level.

Maduk is moving up into the third-degree black belt

Unmatched Levels of comfort, dignity & care.

The intersection at Shefford and Montreal roads is problematic because cars are often turning in the wrong lane to access the highway, and it gets very busy in peak hours.

Continued from page 1

The road modifications would be completed before the opening of the Sensplex East, which is scheduled to open in the fall 2014.

The total cost isn’t known yet, but it will be in the mil-

lions, Tierney said.

“It’s quite a few bucks,” he said. “It’s a pretty dramatic road modification.”

MULTI-USE PATH

While it won’t roll out in 2014, a multiuse pathway was approved on Shefford

Road in the transportation master plan.

An additional accessible lane for biking or walking will run from Montreal Road to the river on the east side of the road.

The multi-use lane is anticipated to be ready for use in 2015, Tierney said.

Safety changes coming to Transitway bus crossing Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

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

Sign clutter around the

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

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

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

The city is also working with Via Rail to add an additional blinking warning signal

in the northbound direction that would go off several seconds in advance of a train crossing.

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

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

The observations were based on evidence gathered from a Sept. 28 re-enactment of the crash.

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

The group, called the OncoArray Consortium, developed a new customized genotyping tool – the OncoArray – manufactured by the U.S. genomics firm Illumina.

Professor Christopher Amos, the leader of the lung

cancer consortium said genotyping will be carried out on more than 425,000 samples from patients with one of the five types of cancer and control subjects from around the world.

The OncoArray Consortium’s work is expected to provide insight into the inherited genetic basis of cancer and help scientists understand the underlying biology of cancer.

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

Breast cancer samples will represent more than one-third of the samples under analysis.

“This is the largest number of samples ever used for research into the genetic basis of breast cancer risk,” said Université Laval professor Jacques Simard, who works at the Genomics Centre of the CHU de Québec Research Centre, and chair holder of the Canada Research Chair in Oncogenetics.

Leading efforts in prostate cancer are Brian Henderson and Ros Eeles.

Urban design rules to make infill homes smaller Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

Reducing the height of storeys in new infill homes in the city’s urban area is one of the changes city planners are hoping to make to ease the intensification of downtown and post-war neighbourhoods.

The proposed changes were presented at a community in-

formation session in Sandy Hill on Oct. 15.

In an effort to combat new homes dwarfing neighbouring dwellings, the city will reduce the height of threestorey houses in R3 zones from 12 and 11 metres to 10 metres. Homes in denser R4 zones would shrink to 10 and 8.5 metres from the currently allowed 11 and 9.5 metres. In less dense single-family home neighbourhoods, which have R1 zoning, the height would drop from 11 to 8.5 metres.

The change would mean

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

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

“At least the mass is closer.”

The old height limits were an artifact of amalgamation, said Steve Gauthier, the planner leading the infill study.

The city simply took all of the building heights permit-

ted in zones from the formers municipality and adopted their average as the rule for Ottawa.

Another change would prohibit balcony or staircases from projecting into the space required for side or backyards.

Creating more consistent back yard sizes is another goal the city heard.

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

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

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

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

front lot line.

That concerned Rakan Abushaar, one of the principles of Black Iris Developments, which converts a lot of old homes in the city’s core into apartments. Putting a specific distance setback on larger lots would mean a homebuilder couldn’t construct a proportionately larger dwelling on a larger lot, meaning homes built on lots 30 m or 40 m deep would be the same size.

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

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

Some of the residents at the Sandy Hill meeting were concerned the new rules could do little to prescribe the look of new homes.

While planners have heard from people that the architecture of infill they’ve seen is an “insult to their neighbourhood,” Miguelez said, the city cannot legally require a building to look a certain way. It can, however, make “strong suggestions,” though urban

design guidelines, which the city is likely setting itself up to update, he said.

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

He suggested allowing more flexibility for developers to move around the mass allowed for their buildings by adding a smaller section, sort of like an addition, onto the building instead of making it a tall box. Gauthier was intrigued by the feedback, but noted that idea would conflict with the goal of consistent back yards.

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

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

Undead unleash their fundraising fury CHEO fundraiser gets a makeover at Funhaven Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Something is definitely off inside Funhaven’s newly built house of horrors.

An ill-used toilet overflows with sticky, red ooze; cockroaches scurry up the walls and the faint impression of desperate, red handprints smudge the doorways.

Up ahead, someone screams. Behind, the path is blocked.

There is no way out but forward.

This is the warm welcome visitors can expect as they enter Fury of the Fallen, Funhaven’s revamped Halloween spectacle in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Previously called Chills for CHEO, the event has been re-imagined and taken to a whole new level of horror, according to Funhaven events manager Tiffany Talbot.

“We’ve moved from a kids’ haunt to full-on horror,” she said. “We want to do it at 100 per cent, so it’s the best that it can be.”

She said keeping it to a kid-friendly event limited their ability to adequately scare all ages. Best practices in the industry show that going all-out – making a haunted house as scary as humanly possible – is most effective, she added.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Creatures of the underworld will be out to scare at this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house in support of CHEO. The spooky spectacle is held at the Funhaven facility in Ottawa’s west end.

Funhaven staff have raised the minimum age this year to 14, although younger kids can enter with their parents’ permission.

Talbot said the new event has a full narrative to go with the gimmicks, which makes the experience even spookier.

While she wouldn’t give too much away, she said the plot involves a girl who has gone miss-

ing. Visitors form search parties to enter the house where she was last seen.

Each room offers its own set of horrors. Sitting rooms, living rooms and nurseries may seem normal at first glance, but the dozens of actors who have volunteered to bring the house to life will quickly demonstrate otherwise.

A workshop exhibits the homeowner’s grue-

some hobbies; grisly body parts dry along the rafters and fresh projects are laid out on the workbench. Severed heads lash out at visitors and even the library’s seemingly innocent bookshelves offer no reprieve from the torture.

This is the first year that the fundraiser has been taken on by Funhaven as a business endeavour, instead of being run separately by Funhaven owner Dave Ellis.

The event has been held at the west-end facility for the past three years, but it was never run as a business, Talbot said.

This year, 50 per cent of the ticket sales will be donated to the children’s hospital – regardless of whether the event makes money – while in previous years Ellis donated the net proceeds.

“We wanted to prevent any confusion,” Talbot said. “We wanted to be completely upfront.”

The event’s name change is meant to distance the haunted house from CHEO, so that all liability lies with the event rather than the hospital. “(CHEO staff) don’t have any control over the haunt and what happens at the haunt,” Talbot said.

Fury of the Fallen is located at 1050 Baxter Rd. The haunted house is open Oct. 17 to 20 and Oct. 24 to Nov. 1 from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $10.

“I cannot wait to get the people in there and all the sound effects on,” Talbot said. “It’s going to be awesome.”

And the undead can’t wait for their first victims to walk through the door.

Transit an essential school service

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

streamline its bus system under the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just another routinely awesome occurrence

I

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

And then I thought about the conversation.

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

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

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

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

Where all this comes from is anybody’s

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

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

Really? What would starvation be like?

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

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

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

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

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

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

That’s good, because it leaves a lot in

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

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

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

These are incredible problems, you have to admit.

Throne speech – short on substance, big on rhetoric

A

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

political moves the Conservatives have ever made. Following the budget release in March, the Parliamentary budget officer reported that every percentage point cut had cost the government $7 billion per year since 2006. That’s a lot of lost revenue.

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

And never mind that older workers – those over 55 – are now displacing young people in the labour force or that job growth still doesn’t begin to match the growth in the labour force.

Sadly, for all the hoopla, the speech was so typical of our democratic institutions these days – short on substance and long on rhetoric.

But then, anyone who can read between lines can see this speech wasn’t so much about resetting the government’s agenda as it was about the next election.

It was, clearly, a speech designed to woo votes, focused on shortterm solutions to real or imaginary problems – the ones that really, you know, get people’s goats.

I assure you – provided politicians are trustworthy and keep their words – we’ve got at least two years before we head to the polls again to elect members of Parliament.

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

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

But perhaps I’m being too harsh.

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

There is lots of great news for Beacon Hill-Cyrville in the draft TMP (Transportation Master Plan). The last time the TMP was revised was in 2008, and unfortunately Cyrville Road fell off the plan.

In my 2010 election campaign, I promised residents I would work hard to see it put back in the plan, and proud to say not only is Cyrville Road back in the draft plan, but is on a ‘main streeting’ project list as well as scheduled for a multi-use pedestrian connection.

Another highlight I am very proud to have pushed for and is in the draft version of the TMP, is a multi-use pathway on the east side of Shefford Road from Montreal Road to the Ottawa River pathway. This is a big win and will keep us all safer. Please keep in mind that this is still a draft until approved by Council, but I am confident it will be moving forward.

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

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

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

The throne speech is meant to lay out the government’s agenda for the next session of Parliament.

In the wake of the extended summer recess triggered by Harper, yet again, proroguing Parliament a few months ago, Canadians (well, politics-watchers) were waiting, in anticipation for something good.

The government must have needed the extra recess time to come up with something truly innovative, right? They must have needed the extra time to tackle some of those really tough issues like pork-barrelling in the senate and health care and consumer debt.

But no. Instead of addressing many of the serious and longterm threats to our economy and collective well-being, the speech read more like a shopping list of disparate campaign topics. Forget healthcare, the environment and Aboriginal people – these things are not uber-important to our government. But cable bundling and cell phone fees, these short-term wedge issues are sure to get votes. And these are now topping the list of our government’s priorities.

The speech employed some lovely rhetoric, sure to please almost every Canadian. Delivered by Governor General David Johnston it was filled with distinctly partisan, but ultra-pleasing language – so much so, I’m surprised he agreed to read it at all. “Canadians work hard for their money…” “Canadian families work hard to make ends meet.” But then again, who doesn’t like hardworking families?

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

Who wouldn’t like CRA dealings to be less cumbersome? And yet this empty promise – largely immeasurable – will unlikely amount to anything but a few converts to the Conservative fold.

They bragged yet again about the cutting the GST by two percentage points, a move that most economists see as one of the most costly

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

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

This fall, Let’s Talk Science and Amgen Canada are taking science on the road and visiting high school students across Canada to demonstrate the value of science in everyday life and for jobs of the future.

It is important to ensure that our funds are being directed to preparing today’s youth for tomorrow’s economy, especially when Canada commits almost six per cent of GDP toward education. “Canada must focus on building a strong STEM talent pool with the skills to contribute to our country’s longterm prosperity,� says Bonnie Schmidt, president of Let’s Talk Science. “Ultimately these skills lie in at least some form of science literacy. “We need to inform our youth of the importance of STEM courses for their future careers, engage them in experiential science learning from an early age, and sustain their interest in science throughout their studies. This will take collaborative effort – educators, parents, youth, industry, non-profit organizations and government – to ensure Canada has a bright future ahead.�

The 2013 research report outlines the costs associated

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

by Let’s Talk Science.

The high cost of dropping science and math highlights three costs – financial, opportunity and societal – that hinder Canada’s economy as a result of disengagement of students in senior level science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses.

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

Given that approximately 70 per cent of Canada’s top jobs require STEM education, a number that is expected continue to grow, this is an alarming statistic.

As jobs of the future demand education in these courses, Canada’s economic well-being, quality of life and ability to remain competitive

Fury to host games at Carleton University’s field Lansdowne to be finished for fall season Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

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

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

The 10-game spring season runs from April 5 to June 7 – at Carleton – before the league takes mid-season break for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Construction at Lansdowne is scheduled to

be finished in time for the fall season; a 20game stretch that runs from July 19 to Nov. 15.

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

“We promise to field an exciting, competitive team that will provide our fans with entertaining and attractive soccer.”

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

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

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

TransCanada brings pipeline proposal to Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

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

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

A portion of the pipeline will pass just west of Stittsville and is now a twin natural gas pipeline. Under the TransCanada proposal it will be-

come both a natural gas pipeline and a crude oil pipeline.

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

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

She said that she received something of an answer, with

the possibility that additional shut off valves might be installed in that area and that TransCanada might establish an emergency response team close to the area.

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

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

“There’s more to the story than what’s going on inside,”

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW

BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2013-320 on the 9th day of October 2013, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body, who, before the By-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. 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.

said Andrea Harden-Donahue, energy and climate justice campaigner with the Council of Canadians.

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

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

PIPELINE SAFETY

TransCanada spokesperson Philippe Cannon said that safety is TransCanada’s number one priority and noted that the Energy East pipeline will be monitored on a 24/7 basis. With any drop in pressure along the pipeline, that area can be isolated in a matter of minutes, he said.

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

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

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

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

Cannon said that TransCanada invests each year in safety, touting that the company has the “leading industry record and plans to keep it that way.”

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

The device is used not only

to clean a pipeline but also in situations of a pipeline conversion from natural gas to oil as is being proposed in the Energy East situation. The device is used to travel through the emptied pipeline, checking the pipe centimeter by centimeter. It can detect any defect or bump in the pipe. The result is that TransCanada digs up the section of pipe identified by the PIG and either repairs the pipe or replaces it.

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

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

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

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

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.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on the 13th day of November 2013.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should the By-law be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified in the explanatory note that accompanies this Notice.

An explanation of the purpose and effect of the By-law and a description of the lands to which the By-law applies is attached.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Carp Snow Disposal Facility Background In January 2012, the City of Ottawa initiated a study to establish a new snow disposal facility in the City’s west end. The City’s strategic snow disposal plan (2002) had identified the need to provide for 308,000 m3 of disposal capacity within one or more snow disposal facilities in the west end. This MCEA study was conducted as a Schedule B project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended 2011, an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Process

Citizens for Safe Cycling president Hans Moor points out how the city’s proposed cycling plan for the next 20 years will be a boon for cyclists.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“They seem to touch all the subjects,” he said.

“It’s well put together … Their philosophy and vision seems good to me.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ottawa lacks airport transit link; excels in planning for cyclists

Notice of Completion East Urban Community (Phase 2) Environmental Management Plan

Continued from page 13

Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has prepared an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to support the Community Design Plan for Phase 2 of the East Urban Community. The EMP identifies the stormwater management solution for the study area, which is bounded by Renaud Road to the north, the CPR railway tracks to the south, Mer Bleue Road to the east and Phase 1 of the East Urban Community to the west.

The Environmental Management Plan has been completed as a Master Plan under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process. The Master Plan identifies the stormwater management infrastructure requirements for future development in the study area. This notice serves as a Notice of Completion for the following projects: stormwater management pond (Schedule B); and diversion of drainage between watersheds (Schedule C).

The East Urban Community (Phase 2) EMP report details the study process, findings and recommendations. Consultation for the EMP has included technical advisory committee meetings and public open houses as part of the class environmental assessment process and is documented in the report. The public is invited to review the EMP at the following locations: Ottawa Public Library - Main Branch 3rd Floor (Ottawa Room) 120 Metcalfe Street Ottawa, ON K1P 5M2 Tel.: (613) 580-2945

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

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

Another Centretown resident, Michael Lambert, was more concerned about something outside his neighbourhood. The glaring omission overriding his assessment of the plans was the lack of a light-rail link to the airport.

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

While he understands the rail spur would have an additional cost, he’s not sure how much it would be. But he is convinced the upper levels of government would be interested in kicking

in some funding to send light rail to the airport.

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

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

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

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

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

“The plan is good,” he said.

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

He also applauded the city’s recognition that 40 per cent of trips by all modes are between

points within a neighbourhood, so the city’s plan includes bicycle lanes and pathways to make those trip safer. The idea is to encourage people to make those trips to local destinations by bike, even if they live in the suburbs.

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

Connecting cycling facilities with new pedestrian bridges at Donald and Somerset streets, the Prince of Wales bridge to Gatineau and a bridge at Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street will be a huge boon for cyclists, as will a network of bike lanes the city will prioritize plowing in the winter, Moor said. The draft plan will be considered and potentially altered by the transit commission on Oct. 24 and the transportation committee on Nov. 15. Council has the final say on Nov. 26. There is still one public information session left to take place in Orléans: Oct. 24 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex Covent Glen Room, 1490 Youville Dr.

OC Transpo looks to tackle Presto reload delay Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

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

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

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

Auto-reload is one of the major features intended to make things easier for riders because they won’t have to wait in line at an OC Transpo service centre to buy next month’s pass – it can be done online, and automatically. Au-

tomating the process is supposed to lead to fewer and shorter lineups and less strain on OC Transpo’s services.

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

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

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

That change might come by

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

SEPARATE PARA SYSTEM

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

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

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

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

The transit agency encourages riders to auto-reload Presto cards.

Bake table had several uses in Depression era kitchen

E

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

There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head; our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Instead, it had several layers of quilts that protected you from the coil springs.

This couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories back out to the fields or the barns.

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

The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake R0012233909

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

Longer than it was wide, it had a small drawer at one end.

Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day.

Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea, because Mother never once baked on it.

Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store.

Kitchen was biggest room in old log house Continued from page 16

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

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

Mother kept the bake table

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

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

It was moved out from the wall and this is where the

youngest of us ate our meal, well away from the kitchen table and the company. The little table could only seat four people, one at each end and one on each side.

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

Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed

to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’ pocket and dispose of it after the meal.

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

“That was way to easy!”

ing closet of the Findlay Oval or stored in it.

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

Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine

like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine. She once said pine rhymed with poverty. I was too young to know the meaning behind the comment.

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

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

Calories coming to Ontario menus Community - Ontario will help parents and their children make healthier choices by putting calories on menus, following consultations with the food industry and health care sector.

Legislation that would require large chain restaurants to include calories

and other potential nutritional information on their menus will be introduced this winter.

The government will also seek advice on how to reduce the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages aimed at kids.

to children will also include the media and telecommunications industry.

Consultations on menu labelling will include parents and representatives from food and beverage manufacturing, agriculture, restaurant, food service, food retail and health sectors.

Consultations on limiting the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages

QUICK FACTS

• The consultations build on steps the government has already taken to implement recommendations from the Healthy Kids Panel, including a 24-hour support line for breastfeeding moms and expanding Ontario’s Stu-

dent Nutrition Program.

• In 2009, the economic cost associated with physical inactivity and obesity in Ontario was $4.5 billion.

• More than 80 per cent of food ads in Canada are for food high in calories and low in nutritional value.

• A vast majority of Ontarians (95 per cent) support requiring fast food restaurants list nutritional information on their menus (Ipsos Reid, 2011).

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

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

Bylaw chief Linda Anderson proposed changes that would have seen her staff sign off to allow late-night noise on major city construction projects that have a large im-

pact on roads and trafďŹ c â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as large private construction projects that could impact city streets and services, like the Rideau Centre expansion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents understand that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessary evil,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said, adding that bylaw services doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a lot of complaints about construction noise.

The city already allows exemptions to the noise bylaw when the work is deemed

critical or urgent, such as the continuous pouring of concrete through the night at Lansdowne.

But those cases required the approval of the wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s councillor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something Anderson wanted to forgo.

Instead, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community and protective services committee decided to keep the requirement for the councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent. If the councillor disagrees, the matter would be brought to city council for a decision.

There are still some restrictions on how loud the noise could be and how long it could continue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for not more than eight hours in a single day and not for durations of more than 11 days in a row.

Committee chairman Coun.

Mark Taylor said council has approved a lot of large citybuilding projects, so he could see the rationale for the proposed changes.

City tackles building better suburbs Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

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

“This is where we are getting our growth … The suburbs are unique,” Snedden said.

“We need to figure out what’s the best way to make it liveable for people.”

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

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

ing.

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

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

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

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

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

People often don’t have a good sense of the size of the home they are buying before it’s built and once it’s constructed and people can see how small it is, it’s very diffi-

cult to resell, she said.

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

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

“If there wasn’t a market for them, they wouldn’t build them,” he said.

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

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

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

Barrhaven resident Don Halpenny’s concern was over maintenance of the lanes

– whether it’s the city’s responsibilities or the residents have to come together to devise and fund a maintenance plan for things like snow clearing.

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

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

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

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

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

said.

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

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

Many participants recognized the value of sidewalks, but concluded they shouldn’t be everywhere.

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

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

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

Claude Gagné, a director

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

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

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

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

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

Comments can be submitted to the city by emailing city planner Stan Wilder at stanley. wilder@ottawa.ca.

Scout Popcorn teaches important life skills Community - Kids heading back to school, leaves changing colours and cooler evenings all mark the change in season.

But for Scouts Canada, the arrival of fall means it is time for children and youth to learn important life skills and strive to earn scholarship money.

Over the next few months, tens of thousands of Scouts across the country will participate in Scout Popcorn, Scouts Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national fundraiser, along the way they will learn important life skills, gain scholarship money and raise funds for local Scouting programs.

Through the Scouts Popcorn

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

Scouts who raise $2,500 or more will also become eligible for a scholarship fund. These Scouts will see six per cent of their total sales that year, and each year going forward, invested in an account for their post-secondary education expenses. Since the program began in 1995, 827 Scouts have been enrolled in the scholarship program.

Additionally, proceeds from the fundraiser go back to local Scouting to help pay for items and activities which enhance the Scouting experience, such as camping equipment and national and international trips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for the Canadians from coast to coast to coast that have supported Scouts Canada through Scout Popcorn,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Price, chief commissioner for Scouts Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their support of the program goes a long way in helping us enhance local Scouting programs and provide children and youth opportunities to benefit their future.â&#x20AC;?

The game was part of United Way Day, an annual event that this year brought 14 teams to St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven for a football jamboree in support of the charity.

Organizer Scott Broadhurst said each year the event raises about $600 for the charity.

Cars draped in purple will become a more common sight Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

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

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

“But now it’s harder to recognize.”

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

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

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

Enter the Professional Procession emblem.

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

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

“They were having trouble even getting out of their own parking lot,” she said. “So we sat down and brainstormed.”

Laframboise said that a few years ago there was a campaign to have a flashing purple light – similar to ones used by snowplows – sit on top of the lead car in a procession.

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

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

“I think it’s important to validate life,” she said.

“And making the procession recognizable allows drivers to pause and give quiet respect.”

A crash in Chicago this August, where one person was killed and

seven people hospitalized while in a procession, highlighted the need for safety measures.

“Too often the public can’t recognize a funeral procession, causing difficulties in keeping the line togeth-

er and potentially causing accidents,” Laframboise said.

The launch of the Ottawa partnership between Professional Processions and Kelly Funeral Homes in early October was the first of its

kind.

“When people are mourning and planning the services, the last thing they need to worry about is how they are going to get from point A to point B,” Lavictoire said.

As funerals change, the procession is less recognizable, with the new emblems made available by professional processions, there will be a way for traffic to know one is taking place.
