A Snowball’s Chance So Much Snow! -by Joey Carrigan’s Mom And all at once it hit me Like snowballs from above. Sticky snow, oh sticky snow, Hypocrites we surely are, I love to watch you fall. Who lecture out of love. Shining, sparkling, tempting me To make the perfect ball. Mother had her snowball dreams. My grandma had hers too. Eagerly I stoop to scoop I dare to say my teachers, A chunk of gluey flakes. Had more than just a few! In my palm I have the best That Mother Nature makes. But with age, each snowball dream, Perforce must fade and die. My hands are trained from Though all of us had childhoods, childhood When snowballs filled the sky. To buff and press and mold. And when the lumps are leveled, And so, dear Joe, you’re lucky. A flawless orb I hold. This snowball I’ll let slide. For the balls I’ve yearned to throw, Photo by Tom Alfoldi From hand to hand I toss it, I’ll take your youthful side. And marvel at the weight. Such a lot of snow compressed! It was perfect, sticky snow, Now…what to be its fate? The first fall of the year. And this point I wish to make Send your I know a lot of people So it is crystal clear: I’d love my ball to get. comments to But I am--sigh--a grownup. Put a boy who loves to pitch [email protected] Examples I must set. In fields of sticky snow. Tell him then he must resist or drop them off at the Firehall, Thus I fire it at a tree, The urge to mold and throw. And sadly watch it splat. 60 Sunnyside Avenue. Then I learn that my boy Joe I’ll bet only seconds pass At school, did more than that. Before his plan is laid. I’ll bet only seconds pass The words of Northern Mothers Before his ball is made. Soon gurgled up my throat: “You could have put an eye out!” Better luck to tell the sky (The standby mother’s quote.) To stop the snowy show, Than to tell my youngest son But then the words just stuck there He’s not allowed to throw! Upon my near-forked tongue. If I was nearly tempted, In fact, I’ll take it further, What then of one so young? If truth I want to tell. A rule involving snowballs, Has a snowball’s chance in…. Remember our children are back at school. Kudos For OSCAR Please drive carefully! Dear Editor: ongratulations on the very extensive publication that Oscar has become! C The regular columns on various topics are interesting f and the Hardings’ Computer Tricks and Tips are always useful. I was also surprised and delighted to see the Christmas greeting in Ukrainian in the December issue. A couple of pages further, I was sure I was looking at a photo of a typical village in rural Ukraine, but it turned out to be Riverdale Avenue in 1898! Thank you, and all the best to the great staff at The Oscar !

  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

  • Ian, As Always I Would Happily Defer To
    Sustainable Living Ottawa East Vie ecologique d’Ottawa Est _______________________________________________________________ July 3, 2013 Robin Bennett Cycling Facilities Coordinator City of Ottawa Rideau River Western Pathway - Recommendations of OOECA and SLOE Dear Mr. Bennett: The Old Ottawa East Community Association (OOECA) and Sustainable Living Ottawa East (SLOE) are pleased that the City of Ottawa is developing a functional design for the Rideau River Western Pathway (RRWP) and we welcome the opportunity to provide our suggestions and recommendations for the design work. In 2010, City Council identified the RRWP as one of five high-priority missing links that would close gaps in the urban part of the City’s cycling and pedestrian “off-road” network. Indeed, this work would have implemented a longstanding component of the Official Plan whereby a multi-use pathway was planned to run along the west side of the Rideau River all the way from Sandy Hill's Strathcona Park to Old Ottawa South's Linda Thom Park at Bank Street. However, because of budgetary pressures, funding was not allocated for the RRWP, much to the disappointment of the Old Ottawa East community. Although for many decades there has been a rough path along the 2.5-kilometre stretch of the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East, it wasn't until 2006 that the community, though SLOE, began concerted efforts to make the pathway a critical part of the community and, really, Ottawa. …/2 2 SLOE conceived the pathway as the "Rideau River Nature Trail," and its development was to "enhance the ecological integrity of the shoreline, maintain the existing sense of tranquility, improve amenities and provide better connectivity." In short, the pathway, in the view of the community, is far more than just "another piece of transportation infrastructure." Under the leadership of SLOE, our defined goals are for a completed pathway that will: Help protect and promote the beauty and biodiversity of the Rideau River and its shoreline.

  • Cycling in 2013 Bicycle Counters
    Published March 20th, 2014 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CYCLING FACT SHEET CYCLING IN 2013 INVESTMENTS OPEN DATA COMMUNITY RECOMMENDATIONS REVIEW OF 2012 TOP 10 TOP 10 FOR 2014 REFERENCES 3 REPORT ON BICYCLING—OTTAWA 2014 CITIZENS FOR SAFE CYCLING 4 INTRODUCTION This is our third Annual Cycling Report. We started producing the report in 2012 in order to provide a more complete picture of what is going in Otta- wa in terms of cycling infrastructure, policy, and statistics. There are many different jurisdictions in Ottawa and, not surprisingly, there continues to be a need to gather information about the diversity of develop- ments involving cycling. Citizens for Safe Cycling (CfSC) is primarily focused on the activities of the City, fol- lowed by those of the National Capital Commission (NCC). We also aim to cover those efforts undertaken by the ministries of the Province of Ontario and the Federal Government. Ottawa Public Health, the Ottawa Police Service and Safer Roads Ottawa (City of Ottawa) also play a role in educating the public about cycling and cycling safety. Finally, Ottawa’s school boards and universities, OC Transpo, building owners, and retail- ers, etc. all of have an interest in how cycling develops in our city. This year, CfSC was involved in the Provincial Cycling Strategy. We are happy to read that Transportation Minister Glenn Murray is now taking serious steps to make Ontario's roads safer for cyclists by introducing Bill 173. The bill proposes a number of changes such as the one metre rule, traffic lights for cyclists with the bike symbol, crossrides along crosswalks and counterflow lanes.
