Concerns mount over community mailbox plans Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Concerns over the imminent loss of home mail delivery service in south Ottawa have begun to mount after residents were notified earlier this week that Canada Post will be installing community mailboxes there
in 2016. Communal lock-boxes in urban communities across Canada are replacing home delivery amid declining volumes of mail, resulting in less revenue for the Crown corporation, which doesn’t rely on taxpayer dollars. See CITY, page 5

Brig.-Gen. David Lowthian, commander of 8 Wing Trenton, speaks to the leadership demonstrated by Lt.-Col. Mike Thornley, outgoing commander of 412 Transport Squadron, based at the Ottawa International Airport, as he managed the downsizing of the Challenger fleet from six to four planes over the last year. Thornley handed the squadron’s reins to his replacement, Lt.-Col. Aidan Costelloe, during a ceremony on July 3. For the story, see page 12.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 9, 2015
COMMUNITY news .COM
Residents will have to wait a while longer to see if development funds can be used to repair and renew parks across the city. The planning committee deferred its decision on changes to the cash-in-lieu of parklands policy until its meeting on Aug. 25, to give councillors more time to really get to know the issue. “There’s a number of councillors who have questions and have suggestions to build upon (the staff) report,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who moved the motion. “It’s to give us some time to get some more information to make the right decision on the policy.” The current cash-in-lieu policy allows developers to pay cash to the city when it’s not possible to build a park as they’re usually required when they’re contributing to local growth. Since the policy was adopted in 2011, nearly $30 million has been given to the city in lieu of parks, largely for the downtown wards where space to build new green space is limited. The money is split 60-40 between the ward where the development is located and a city-wide fund, and right now can only be used to finance new recreation facilities or to expand existing ones. But staff wants to broaden the fund even more to finance regular lifecycle upgrades and repairs at existing parks across the city. There’s a huge backlog of aging facilities in need of attention according to review co-ordinator Jake Rupert, and funding in the regular budget for lifecycle renewal and repair is vastly inadequate to address all of the priorities across the city, said asset management head Kelly Martin. Under the new plan, the cash-in-lieu fund could be used to jump start renewal and repair projects scheduled to be completed later in the term, if fixing them would better serve the existing and
growth communities in a given area. A bridge financing system would be created to pay back the cash-in-lieu money from the regular city budget by the end of the council term. Staff didn’t originally support this idea, arguing it could cause regular budget funding to be diverted away from other priority projects, but pressure from councillors brought it back. “It is a risk that can be managed and we’re willing to work with that,” Rupert told the committee. Staff also wants the policy to restrict how cash-in-lieu money can be used when it comes to promotional projects like plaques featuring a council member’s name, and to make permanent three contract park planner positions using a 10 per cent surcharge from cash-in-lieu projects over $100,000. Giving the staff full-time jobs instead of contracts would reduce turnover and allow projects to move along faster, staff said. The issue of councillor commemorations came up earlier this year when rookie River Coun. Riley Brockington discovered his ward’s park account was in the red. That was partly because outgoing councillor Maria McRae had commissioned thousands of dollars’ worth of bronze plaques to be placed on new park benches honouring veterans but signed with her name. At the time, Brockington called for a spending freeze on the accounts in election years. Even with the extra time to delve into the impacts of the changes, the issue will still likely prove controversial when it does finally come up for debate. Already, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli was voicing concern that using the cash-in-lieu fund for life cycle repair will let council off the hook when budget season comes around. “We should be making enough contributions at budget time to do (life cycle repairs),” Chiarelli said. “This is only coming forward because we didn’t put enough money in the budget.”

Holly Tarrison, executive director of the Hope Volleyball SummerFest, says the event this Saturday will see 10,000 volleyball players take to the beach at Mooney’s Bay Park. Another 20,000 people are expected to watch the games, stroll along the vendors’ row and enjoy a day of live music.

After seven years at the helm of an outdoor one-day volleyball tournament – billed as the largest in the world – Holly Tarrison is still surprised by the range of funding applications that come across her desk each year. It’s great that people know the good that Hope Volleyball SummerFest can do, said Tarrison, executive director of the not-for-profit event, which stands for Helping Other People Everywhere. “But it’s also sad that there’s more of a need in the community,” she said. Among the six new charities that will each receive $25,000 from Hope this year is the Ottawa Network for Education, which is seeking to expand its school breakfast program. “I didn’t realize there is such a need for kids who ... aren’t getting breakfast and it’s affecting their studies,” Tarrison said.

City hands tied over delivery changes: Cloutier sult in job losses, and will be addressed through attrition. There are 15,000 Canada Post workers set to retire within the next five years. And 6,000 to 8,000 positions, from mail carriers to management, will be eliminated or reassigned. Residents in Riverview Park have expressed a number of concerns, including accessibility for seniors and for those with physical challenges. “One of the things as well, for people with limited mobility it allows people to stay in their homes,” Kris Nanda, president of the Riverview Park Community Association, said of a benefit that comes with home delivery. “Some of the concerns and issues that haven’t been worked out … is whose going to be responsible for cleaning up the mess,” Nanda said, concerned that people will leave their junk mail at the communal mailbox. As the conversion process in southeast Ottawa moves ahead, Nanda said it will be important for Canada Post to consult affected residents especially in choosing mailbox locations. “We would like to be able to

ties given the Ontario Superior Court ruling setting aside the bylaw of the City of Hamilton requesting that Canada Post pay the $200 and apply for permits to install community mailboxes,” Cloutier said. “The Ontario Superior Court did not accept that argument, saying that Canada Post had much more leeway than municipalities would have hoped.” Residents concerned about Accessories do

provide suggestions on where they are located,” he said. “A community would know better, and also in the end it could save time and money for Canada Post if they get feedback and they don’t have to spend as much time researching where to put it.” Before mailbox locations are finalized, Canada Post said it will meet with residents living adjacent to the site. Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said Monday there is little councillors can do to intervene on behalf of residents who don’t want their mail delivery to change. “It is rather limited,” he said pointing to the recent Superior Court of Ontario’s ruling against the City of Hamilton and in favour of Canada Post, which reduced options for municipalities in the face of Canada Post’s plans. “It’s difficult for municipali-

Eastway Gardens resident, Kathy Holliday, said she is most concerned for elderly residents who may face challenges in getting to the mailboxes “In the winter time it’s going to be dangerous for them to get to them,” she said. “We get a lot of freezing rain and ice.” The eradication of home delivery isn’t fair, Holliday added. “I’m paying taxes for services and they keep taking away our services. Why are we paying taxes?” she said. More than 15,600 addresses will be converted, in addition to almost 9,000 Ottawa addresses that were changed over last fall. Another 50,000 Ottawa addresses, including many in Nepean, are in the process of being changed over to the new distribution method by the end of this year. Canada Post is seeking feedback from residents before finalizing the location of the community mailboxes. Residents receiving notices are asked to fill out a survey, which asks them whether they prefer small clusters of two or three boxes
closer to homes or a larger box farther away, said Jon Hamilton, an Ottawa-based Canada Post spokesman. “That’s kind of a starting point. It has to be convenient for the 40 or so addresses that will be served by that box,” he said. The conversion is part of a five-year initiative, that began last year, to convert one-third of Canadian addresses that still have home delivery to community mailboxes as more and more people turn to digital alternatives to sending mail and paying their bills. “The Internet has taken hold,” Hamilton said, adding that Canada Post has experienced a decline in mail volumes since 2006. Last year alone 1.4 billion fewer pieces of mail were sent than in 2006. “That’s a 28-per-cent drop,” Hamilton said. “It’s not stopping and we need to make changes.” To boost its revenue stream, in March 2014, Canada Post raised the price of stamp booklets from 63 to 85 cents for domestic mail and boosted the cost of individual stamps to $1. The conversion will not re-

In the past 33 years, the tournament and festival have generated more than $3.5 million for more than 100 Ottawa-area recipients. Recipients this year include: • The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation, which is looking to create four new therapeutic courtyards. • Easter Seals Ontario in support of its camp programs. • An in-home care funding program through the ALS Society of Canada. • The Caring and Sharing Exchange, which is looking to provide more children-inneed with backpacks filled with school supplies and other necessities. “We’re there to help,” said Tarrison. “That’s what we’re here for.” It’s largely due to concert ticket sales and team registration fees that Hope is able to give back. But times are tough and organizers are challenged by rising operational costs. “Sponsors are harder to find, I think because we are such a festival town,” said Tarrison. “We’re all feeling a bit of the crunch,” she said of several festivals in the nation’s capital. The emergence of other
for-profit events is also adding to the challenge. “We hope that the city is recognizing that we’re giving back, that we hopefully will have the support of the city and they’ll keep an eye out and make sure were protected a bit,” she said. “That’s a worry of a bunch of (us).”
“We’re trying to make sure that we’re giving back throughout the year rather than just the one day.” holly Tarrison, executive director
Still, Hope expanded earlier this year in March with the launch of the inaugural Hope WinterFest to raise funds for event management bursaries at Algonquin College. “We’re trying to make sure that we’re giving back throughout the year rather than just the one day,” Tarrison said of the indoor tourney, which drew 48 teams to Orléans.

Once again, the SummerFest volleyball tournament is at capacity with 10,000 players on 1,032 teams in competitive, recreational and corporate divisions. “We have a pretty solid fol-
lowing of competitive players and we sell out that division every year,” the director said, adding there is also a waiting list of 29 competitive teams hoping for a chance to play during the SummerFest. Another 20,000 people are expected to converge on the park and watch the volleyball, check out the vendors and exhibitors, as well as enjoy live music and DJ-spun tracks in three different licensed areas, which require an entry fee. LIVE MUSIC
Music education students from the School of Rock will perform on the main stage at 11 a.m., followed by Lemon Cash at noon, Cast In Cadence at 1 p.m., and the Lionyls at 2:30 p.m. Toronto-based alternative-bluesy garage rock band, July Talk, takes the stage at 4 p.m. “There’s no sitting down at that show,” Tarrison said. Event organizers have finally managed to secure the Sam Roberts Band to headline the concert. The singersongwriter will take the stage from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. His presence will be a coup for newer artists who can say they opened for such a renowned Canadian artist. “They’re able to put in their bio: ‘opened for Sam Roberts,’” Tarrison said with a smile. “Who can top that?” For more event details, ticket information or to volunteer, visit hopehelps.com.

Golfers to hit links in name of Friendly Feet ‘These kids have never had anything new in their whole life’: founder Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Shannon Blaney is trying to make a difference in the lives of Ottawa children, one pair of shoes at a time. It’s a message she is trying to teach her six-year-old daughter, Dale. “She knows now when her shoes don’t fit, if they’re still in good condition, she’ll donate those,” said Blaney, who founded the Friendly Feet charity in 2011 in order to provide children-in-need with nearly new or brand new shoes, winter boots and rain boots. “And now she wants to come with me when I buy the new shoes,” said Blaney, a Riverside South resident. “She’s starting to realize that not everybody has everything. I’m trying to put it in perspective for her so she understands. I think it’s great at her age
that she’s really starting to get it.” It’s important for Dale and her friends to see that they too can make a difference, said Blaney. “It doesn’t have to be this ginormous save-the-world thing, but you can make someone’s life better just by (providing) one pair of shoes at a time.” She is set to host the third annual Friendly Feet golf tournament at the Meadows Golf & Country Club on Thursday, July 23. Proceeds will allow Blaney to purchase more shoes for children who are wearing footwear that’s either too small or too big, which often gives them blisters, or footwear that has seen better days. Blaney has reached out to families who have lost everything in house fires, but she largely relies on teachers across Ottawa, who she said are the best at knowing whether a child in their classrooms need a new pair of shoes or boots. “They see them every day,” she said. When Blaney first started her volunteer work, she would distribute the shoes herself, but then found it really tugged at her heartstrings. “You’re happy and these kids have never had anything new in

Dale Blaney, 6, keeps her eye on the ball, just as many golfers plan to do during the third annual Friendly Feet charity golf tournament on July 23. The event will raise funds for the Riverside South-based charity, spearheaded by Dale’s mom, Shannon, which provides footwear to Ottawa children in need. their whole life,” she said. “They’re thrilled, but I found it very emotional to do.” For that reason, she now passes the shoes on to teachers and principals who hand them out to their students.
The annual tournament has become an essential part of the charity initiative. In its first year, it generated $1,500. That rose to $2,500 last year, and Blaney is hoping the upcoming
fundraiser will bring in $3,000. About 80 golfers take part in the fundraiser each year. Proceeds are generated through a silent auction, which this year will include a $250 Via Rail gift card, as well as a suite for an Ottawa Champions game. Blaney will once again host a putting contest during the tournament, and she plans to again sell mulligans, allowing golfers to take another free swing at their ball, for $5 each or five for $20. Last year, she made more than $600 from the sale of mulligans alone. Since the launch of Friendly Feet five years ago, at least 1,500 children have received new or gently used shoes and boots. Friendly Feet is also the chosen charity for the Ottawa Champions baseball club during its home game on July 19. Blaney will be there to encourage baseball fans to have their photograph taken in the Flashpoint Photobooth. For every $3 photo taken, $1 will go to the charity.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

Make Heatherington the model
T
o solve any problem, you’ve got to start somewhere. When it comes to solving Ottawa’s problems with social housing, it might as well be Heatherington. The community located south of Walkley Road, roughly between Bank Street and Conroy Road, is typically in the news for the wrong reasons. Gang violence and drug-related crimes are an all-too-familiar tale for this neighbourhood, which features a significant number of social housing units. These woes are among the reasons GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans is asking for $250,000 from the city’s strategic initiatives fund for a pilot project that could help transform the area into one that features a more diverse mix of housing, civic institutions and commercial opportunities. Deans wants to engage with those currently living in the area as well as other community stakeholders to craft a new vision for Heatherington, using the strategic initiative funding to get the ball rolling. The vision could include leveraging land owned by the city as well as a parcel owned by Hydro Ottawa,
attracting private developers to change the housing mix in the area. The designation of Walkley as an arterial main street should also serve to bring added diversity to the area, offering new employment opportunities for those already living there. Somewhere in the halls of city hall, however, dwell those who don’t want that money specifically earmarked for Heatherington. Deans needed to muster support to have Albion-Heatherington specifically reinserted into the language of the proposal, after it was removed during the drafting process. Certainly there are other areas that need help. Richie Street and Bayshore are often mentioned in the same breath as Heatherington when it comes to crime and poverty. The people living there could use help too, but should a project in the city’s south end work out, there would be a model to work from. Ottawa has struggled to help those living in poverty amidst the prosperity of the rest of the city. We shouldn’t tolerate their struggles. Let’s give Heatherington a chance, and we’ll all be better off for it.

ou’re probably tired by now of all the attention given to Canada Day 2017, which is still two years away, which means two more years of attention. But there are still some matters worth discussing while the topic of national celebrations is still fresh in our minds. There have been articles discussing people’s dream projects Canada’s 150th birthday. These range from outrageous to necessary to incredibly boring. More intriguingly, there have been articles on how Canada celebrated the 100th in 1967.

We have been conditioned to regard government expenditures, particularly on arts and culture, as wasteful. Yet we clearly needed those centennial projects. We use them today; they are part of the national fabric and our daily lives. Stephen Harper said on Canada Day that we are “blessed to live in the best country in the world.� Few Canadians would question that. He also paid tribute to the hard work by Canadians in helping us achieve this status. And that’s true too. What’s also true is that those people had a great spirit of optimism about the future of the country. That was what distinguished 1967.

now are striking. True, the world is a different place. Our economic situation is not as rosy. There are environmental problems we never imagined in 1967. Nor did we imagine terrorism on such a large scale. But in 1967, the Cold War was very much with us, carrying with it the threat of nuclear annihilation. That didn’t stop us from building museums, arenas and concert halls. So we should dream big for 2017. Dreaming big means dreaming bigger than monuments. We have enough monuments. But we could use more bridges, particularly around this town. How about pitching a bridge across the Ottawa River? Dreaming big need not involve flashy projects.

The driving force of seven million millenials BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse political parties. Half of millennials in the U.S. polled by Pew defined themselves as politically independent and one-third say they are not affiliated with any religious institution. “These are at or near the highest levels of political and religious disaffiliation recorded for any generation in the quarter-century that the Pew Research Center has been polling on these topics,” note the authors of Pew’s 2014 study, Millennials in Adulthood. This generation is also the most racially diverse, with nearly 50 per cent of American millennials identifying as non-white. Let’s not forget that millennials are highly tech-savvy, which gives them an edge over almost everyone.
Often known as the generation that have embraced technology since they were in diapers, Pew notes this generation is highly engaged in social media and the powers that can bestow upon them. Eighty-one per cent of these digital natives are on Facebook and more than half (55 per cent) say they’ve “posted a selfie.” A recent article in Report on Business feature highlighted how the innate digital knowledge of millennials is driving everything in pop culture. Millennials are quickly emerging beyond the baby boomers as a force to be reckoned with – driving new innovations in real estate, retail and, if they took it upon themselves, politics. Their rejection of traditional politics and apathy toward voting is replaced by independent campaigns about more focused issues – causes and concerns without borders and played out strategically on social media. Millennials may not have a lot of money compared to previous
generations, but they know how to spend it. According to Report on Business, they are wary of debt and they’re always looking for the best deal possible.
They are the click-andbuy generation that’s informed about retail practices and deals. They shop around and will source the best priced item online, even if it has to be shipped from Australia. They are the click-and-buy generation that’s informed about retail practices and deals. They shop around and will
source the best priced item online, even if it has to be shipped from Australia. Health conscious, Report on Business notes it’s this group that’s driving market innovations in food, athletic wear and good coffee. And let’s not forget, as more baby boomers retire, millennials are taking over workplaces as well. Although some insist millennials are demanding and entitled, others argue they’re actually just very clear about what they want. As with other institutions, they’re rejecting the traditional nine-to-five work week, wanting more flexibility about where they work, how they work and how fast they move up the corporate ladder. If you haven’t found a way to like millennials, you’d better start looking deeper. They are a driving force. The sooner we get over our inter-generational discomfort, the better. Retailers, housing developers, employers and politicians ignore millennials at their peril.
Kingston Show & Shine to ride on another year The Kingston Show N Shine got its start in 2008 as a last-minute event geared to a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts. Organizers were astounded when it attracted a huge number of participants and viewers. From that first event the Show N Shine has grown exponentially every year. A major milestone was achieved in 2012 when organizers honored the Olympians of Special Olympics Ontario, and the event has raised funds and awareness for countless charities and organizations ever since the first show. “We have strongly believed that bringing motorcyclists and charities together has proven to be very successful,” says organizer Guy Paquette. “Show N Shine has become a yearly tradition of fundraising by motorcycling enthusiasts for charities and causes.”
“This year we are honoring the Fallen Heroes and Wounded Warriors of Military, Police, Fire and Ambulance, who knowingly and willingly work hard every day to protect our lives.” On their behalf, Show N Shine is donating the proceeds of the 2015 show to Almost Home, a non-profit organization which provides a place of comfort and respite for families whose children are receiving medical treatment in Kingston area hospitals. The event is free and open to all public to view, with the expectation that visitors will make a donation to the selected charity. To be held on July 25th from noon to 5 p.m., the family friendly event includes a custom bike display of all types, sizes and brands, plus a variety of shows, including Jason Thorne Freestyle Motocross and the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets
Motorcycle Precision Team. “In addition to the motorcycle displays, we also host lots of unique and interesting vendors, delicious food and live music performances throughout the day,” says Mr. Paquette. “In fact, for the first time this year we are extending the festivities to include a wrap-up party with Jack Astors starting at 8 p.m., during which we will announce the winner of the annual motorcycle raffle.” Another draw for motorcycle enthusiasts, and especially Sons of Anarchy Fans, is the custom-designed

illennials now represent seven million Canadians, approximately 20 per cent of the total population. There’s often a misconception about who or what this generation represents. Glued to their smartphones, lacking responsibility and traditional social skills, selfish or entitled? My bet is that they aren’t really any of those things – except for maybe the smartphone thing. If we continue to look down our old fogey noses at millennials, we may just come to regret it. In fact, millennials are smart, entrepreneurial, flexible and, in many cases, global thinkers. Much of this may stem from their staunch independence and rejection of institutions their parents have traditionally supported. According to a study by Pew Research Centre released last year, millennials are delaying marriage, shunning religion and turning away from what they see as polarizing
tank depicting Tommy Flanagan, otherwise known as Chibs and Mark Boone Jr., more widely known as Bobby. The tank has been signed by both of the men and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to Almost Home Kingston. “Two mottos that we began using since day one, which are often duplicated by other groups, are ‘Ride For a Reason – Ride For a Cause’ and ‘Bikers Care’,” Mr. Paquette explains. “These truly sum up in a nutshell what we endeavor to accomplish every year. Show N Shine 100 percent not for profit and is solely supported by donations and sponsors every year.” He adds that in the past some shows have seen more than 7000 motorcyclists and motorcycle lovers, but the numbers are always anticipated to grow each year moving forward.

All students at Northcote welcomed the final day of school
W
e anticipated that last day of school for weeks before it finally rolled around, and all the time I went to the Northcote School, our final day before the summer holidays varied little. We would be on our very best behaviour on the off chance Miss Crosby would look on us kindly when she was filling out our report cards – although I know now that a sudden burst of concentration and an effort to increase our production would do little to change the outcome at that point in the school year. The die was cast. It was the custom to wear our next-to-Sunday best on the last day of school. That meant wearing not quite go-to-church clothes, but not play clothes either. Even Cecil would leave his bib overalls at home in exchange for cotton twill pants and a white shirt rolled to the elbows. That was about as dressy as Cecil ever got. The night before, Mother had us write notes to Miss Crosby thanking her for her year of teaching, and her patience. The five letters were obviously similar since Mother sat at the kitchen table dictating them to us.
MARY COOK Memories And just about everyone in the Northcote School would bring an end-of-the-year present for the teacher as well. Those of us who had little or no money would take home-baking or preserves and one year I remember one of the senior boys brought a dressed chicken, trussed up and ready for the oven. By the time Miss Crosby was ready to go home, the back lunch table would be piled high. Alas, the gifts didn’t sway Miss Crosby one iota when it came to the report cards. No amount of baking or preserves could produce a better grade than what she thought you had earned during the year. And just because it was the last day of school we weren’t excused from the regular routine Miss Crosby followed religiously every other day of the year. We still had a bible reading in the morning, followed by a long and purposeful prayer, and
with our right hand over our hearts a final singing salute to the King. For the rest of the morning we had what the teacher called review work. This was when we had to remember what had been taught months before and come up with instant recall. If we failed to do so, Miss Crosby would send us home on the last day of school with “summer work” as she called it. And she would be right there to check it in September to make sure we had it done. The noon lunch was always a special time on the last day. All the bags were shared, so there was a special effort to make sure the lunches were not just plain honey sandwiches, or pieces of headcheese between two slices of bread. There always seemed to be lots of chocolate cake and butter tarts, and my friend Joyce would bring homemade fudge for the whole school. Once we had put in a full morning, Miss Crosby would announce that it was lunch time and we would all move to the outside, everyone carrying a bag from the pile at the back of the school room. Miss Crosby always brought a big plaid blanket. This she would spread out on the grass under the elm

Top 5 Things Millennials Should Know When Buying Real Estate 1
There are 9 million Millennials in Canada, representing more than 25 percent of the population. Born between 1980 and 1999, the eldest are in the early stages of their careers, forming households and buying their first homes. Here are five additional tips for millennials looking to buy real estate:
10
?1? Don’t rush into the housing market—do your homework: learn the basics of savings, credit and budgeting. Lifelong savings is a crucial ingredient to financial prosperity. You must spend less than you earn, ideally saving at least 10 percent of your gross income. Put your savings on automatic pilot,
Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 9, 2015
?3? This is not a Do-It-Yourself project: build a team of trusted professionals to guide you along. You need expert advice. The first person you should talk to is an accredited mortgage professional. These people are trained financial planners and understand the ever-changing mortgage market. ?4? Down payments, closing costs, moving expenses and basic upgrades need to be understood to avoid nasty surprises. The size of your downpayment is key and, obviously, the bigger the better. You need a minimum of 5 percent of the purchase price and anything less than 20 percent will require you to pay a hefty CMHC mortgage loan insurance premium, which is frequently added to the mortgage principal and amortized over the life of the mortgage as part of the regular monthly payment.
tree and the 18 of us would sit crosslegged on the grass around the blanket. The lunches would be heaped in the centre, and this was the one time when Miss Crosby didn’t stand on ceremony. We could reach and grab as much as we wanted, within the limits of good manners of course. Miss Crosby would then open a story book she had brought from her home and read us the final chapters. It would be a book that she had been reading to us, one chapter at a time for weeks, and the last day of school was the culmination of that once-a-week read. We half listened. We wanted to hear the end of the book certainly, but we dreaded the last paragraph. Because when Miss Crosby closed the book for the last time, it was report card time, and there was no getting away from it. She kept the report cards in a big folder made out of advertisements from Scott’s Hardware store, the kind used to wrap around textbooks for protection. They were handed out by class: primer book first and then right up to the entrance class. We would steal a peek and let out a roar of sheer joy. We had passed. We had made it into the
next grade. It was considered a pleasure to be handed a clean-up job before the little one-room schoolhouse was locked up for the summer. The senior girls washed down the slate blackboards, we younger ones pounded the brushes outside to get every last smidgen of chalk off them and the windowsills were scrubbed. All but a few of the older boys were shooed out of the schoolhouse, and their job was to scour the wood floor with soapy water, a good dash of Lysol, and a mop. Inside we knew Miss Crosby would be stuffing the several holes in the baseboards where on a good day we would see four or five mice scurrying from one opening to another. A textbook would be propped against each hole to further antagonize the mice that tried to enter our precious building. The year was coming to a close. You could be sure you earned every last comment on the report card, good or bad. The long months of summer lay before us, and with mixed feelings of relief and joy, they too would be gone, and Miss Crosby would once again be ready and waiting for us.
You can expect to pay from 1.5-to-4 percent of the purchase price of your home up front in closing costs. These costs include legal fees, appraisals, property transfer tax, HST (where applicable) on new properties, home and title insurance, mortgage life insurance and prepaid property tax and utility adjustments.
percent guidelines might well put an unacceptable crimp in your lifestyle. Keep in mind that this is not a normal interest rate environment. Don’t over-extend because there is a good chance interest rates will be higher when your term is up. Have your broker do the math on what a doubling of interest rates five years from now would do to your monthly payment.
?5? Test drive your monthly housing payments to learn how much you can truly afford. Affordability is not about how much credit you can qualify for, but how much you can reasonably tolerate given your current and future income, stability, lifestyle and budget. The formal qualification guidelines used by lenders are two-fold: 1) your housing costs must be no more than 32 percent of your gross (pre-tax) household income; and, 2) your housing costs plus all other debt servicing must be no more than 40 percent of your gross income. Lenders define housing costs as mortgage payments, property taxes, condo fees (if any) and heating costs. In your planning, you should also calculate other utilities, ongoing maintenance, home insurance and unexpected repairs. Taking all of these costs into consideration, the 32 percent and 40

Also for the first time, Millennium Limousine will sponsor the cost of daytime admission, which means everyone can get in for free until 5 p.m., with the exception of Thursday, when admission will be $2 before 5 p.m. and $5 after that time. This will help offset the cost of the festival, a not-for-profit event that also supports charities, including the cathedral and, for the third year, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes, from a cruise to $10,000, will be sold throughout the festival in support of the chosen charities. The festival’s anniversary year is expected to attract 40,000 people – 5,000 more than last year – once again making the work of hundreds of volunteers a crucial component. “Volunteers have been working on this for, some of us for months and

By the time the end of the Ottawa Lebanese Festival rolls around, you’ll likely have danced the traditional Dabky dance under the stars, devoured some saj flatbread and taken a turn on the rides. But the fun won’t end there. New this year, the closing of the five-day festival will be signalled with a 15-minute fireworks show, weather permitting, on Sunday, July 19 at 10:30 p.m. The grand finale will honour the festival’s 25th anniversary. “One time only,” said Ray Skaff, event spokesman and longtime festival volunteer. Middle Eastern food will continue to be one of the main highlights of the cultural celebration, which takes place July 15 to 19 at St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral at 750 Ridegewood Ave. in Riverside Park. “One of the things about our food is it really is traditional, homemade food,” Skaff said. “I say to all my friends, ‘If you want the best Lebanese food, you come to the festival because it’s all our mothers that have been cooking in the kitchen for weeks preparing it for the festival.’” Highlights will include fresh tabbouleh, platters of savoury morsels and desserts for those with a sweet tooth.

some of us for weeks. It starts with the youth and goes up to adults, who’ve been doing it forever,” Skaff said. The Ottawa Lebanese Festival opens at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Popular attractions include a midway, which opens every day at 11 a.m., a marketplace where Lebanese crafts, history and artwork will be on display, as well as a Lebanese cultural tent where you can learn more about the Middle Eastern nation. Private tours of St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral will also be given throughout the festival on weekdays from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 10 p.m. Festival attendees can park at the nearby Canada Post parking lot at Riverside Drive and Heron Road and catch a free shuttle to the event.

“And the one thing you can’t get any other time of the year is what’s called a traditional saj bread,” he said of the thin dough that is baked “right before your eyes.” “Fresh and hot. It’s the only place where you can get it,” Skaff said. “People line up for half an hour to get it.” The annual festival is a celebration of the culture and traditions of tens of thousands of Lebanese people who make up Ottawa’s third largest ethnic community.
“We love doing the festival because it’s an opportunity for us to show how we’re very much a part of this community,” said Skaff. “It’s just our nature to be welcoming. We’re famous for our hospitality. We want to make sure people have a smile on their face.” Also new this year, the festival’s main stage will be set up in a more centralized location to enhance the experience for festival-goers. “We’ve opened it up this year to allow you to be able to dance under the skies,” said Skaff, adding that no mat-

Command of Challenger fleet amid groundings ‘no easy feat’ Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The outgoing commanding officer of an Ottawa-based air force squadron has been credited for ensuring aircraft and crew remained at the ready despite contending with the shrinking fleet at his disposal. “I believe that the biggest task for 412 Transport Squadron was the transition from six aircraft down to four aircraft and where the unit’s incredibly important mandate did not really change,” 8 Wing Trenton commander Brig.-Gen David Lowthian said during a ceremony marking the squadron’s change of command on July 3. It was “no easy feat” managing a reduced fleet, said Lowthian, who applauded the squadron’s outgoing commanding officer Lt.-Col. Mike Thornley for applying logic,
The planes left in operation were to “be redirected towards higher operational needs such as search and rescue.” The reductions also meant scaling back the number of flight crews at the squadron from nine to seven. One of the principle roles of the Bombardier CC-144 Challenger aircraft is to ferry highranking government VIPs, like the prime minister, the Governor General and cabinet ministers, across the country and around the world. But these planes are also called upon to provide medical evacuations of military personnel, disaster response and utility missions. The Challengers can be deployed with three hours’ notice. A Challenger was sent on Operation Renaissance in late 2013 after the Philippines was left devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. While there, Challenger crews flew 60 missions to provide co-ordination and reconnaissance support to Canadian military leaders and foreign affairs and trade and development representatives.
reason and “a convincing argument as to which aircraft would retire, how and when.” “As a result, aircraft availability and crew levels were such that he was able to unfailingly support the two lines of administrative flight service, one for the prime minister, (and) one for the Governor General,” Lowthian said, a dark blue Challenger jet serving as his backdrop inside the hangar – the workplace of 29 military and civilian personnel, at the Ottawa International Airport. In announcing the fleet reductions in June 2014, then-defence minister Rob Nicholson, said they would save an estimated $1.5 million per year, as part of a defence renewal initiative designed to create $750 million to $1.2 billion in annual savings for reinvestment in “higher priorities” by 2017-18. “The reallocation of savings resulting from the Challengers’ retirement represents an additional contribution to this larger effort,” the defence department said in a statement announcing the cutbacks.

412 Transport Squadron welcomes new commander
ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND
Presiding officer, Brig.-Gen. David Lowthier, commander of 8 Wing Trenton, centre, is flanked by Lt.-Col. Mike Thornley, left, who signed over command of 412 Transport Squadron to Lt.-Col. Aidan Costelloe on July 3. “This level of commitment and responsiveness is a cornerstone of 412 Squadron,” said Lowthian, adding this is a direct result of the leadership and guidance shown by Thornley, who took command of the squadron in 2013. “The Falcons often answered the call and often employed ingenuity while tackling complicated and sometimes conflicting taskings where they literally had to be in several places at one time,” Lowthian said. Thornley brought out the best in the Falcons – uniformed military personnel, civilian support and operations staff and Transport Canada technicians, the wing commander said. But Thornley, who is moving on this summer to do French-language training, shone the spotlight on the team at the squadron, 8 Wing and in Winnipeg, crediting them for

He flew the Challengers out of 412 Transport Squadron after being posted there in 2012. Last year, he went to work with the Department of National Defence renewal team at national headquarters. Lowthian said the squadron will benefit from Costelloe’s leadership. “You have an impressive air mobility background that includes tactical, utility and VIP roles,” he said, making note of the new commander’s experience in Afghanistan. “As importantly, your recent experience with the defence renewal team will provide much insight as the wing continues to operate smarter,” Lowthian said. Costelloe said he finds the history and tradition at the squadron that precedes him “awe-inspiring and the future to be full of challenge and promise.”

ensuring the fleet could operate at a high state of readiness to launch at a moment’s notice. He also thanked the squadron for welcoming him to the Falcon family. “My wife likes to tell the story of when I was a young pilot at 413 Squadron (in Greenwood, N.S.),” Thornley recalled. “I was flying a Herc (transport aircraft) and the day that I got promoted to captain I came home and I told her that I was at the pinnacle of my career because it wasn’t going to get any better than this. “But I have to say, thanks to this tour, and more importantly the people that I’ve had a chance to work with over the past two years, that I now have a new pinnacle of my career,” he said. For incoming commanding officer, Lt.-Col. Aidan Costelloe’s new posting represents a homecoming.

Cards showing graphic images of aborted fetuses are causing a stir in Kanata, especially among residents who want to keep the material from their children’s eyes. The No2Trudeau card – seen here folded so as not to show the photographs – is being left in mailboxes and on doorsteps in Kanata and elsewhere around the country. Many residents who have taken to social media to express their reactions, including Fisher, have taken issue with the campaign’s use of graphic imagery, and how the cards are delivered – often where children can find them. “My wife came home and found (the card) stuck near the front door handle, right where the kids would find it,� said South March resident Anthony Boschin. “It’s really disgusting and we are so glad our kids did not see it.� Van Maren said the workers and volunteers who are distributing the cards are supposed to be delivering them to mailboxes, and that it is against policy for the cards to be given directly to children. Shaw said delivery to mailboxes is her
preference, but that the possibility of children seeing the images would not deter her from leaving the card on a step or in a door frame. In an effort to protest the distribution in ways that makes them available to children, Fisher appealed to the Advertising Standards Canada, a not-for-profit selfregulating body that ensures “the integrity and viability of advertising in Canada,� according to the group’s website. But the cards are political in nature as they target a political figure, said Janet Feasby, the vice-president of standards at the ASC, and as such are excluded from their code. See GRAPHIC, page 19

Parents in various parts of Kanata are reeling over graphic images of aborted fetuses that have been left in mailboxes, on doorsteps and even given to children according to some residents, as part of a national anti-abortion campaign aimed at federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. The postcards, which residents say have shocked and horrified both adults and children, were distributed July 2 as part of a No2Trudeau campaign. Shari Glenney Fisher, a Morgan’s Grant resident, said she was at work when her husband sent her a picture of the card, which includes several images of aborted fetuses, and a picture of Justin Trudeau. “He photographed it and sent it to me at work and said, ‘This is what your daughter picked up this morning,’� said Fisher. The card had been placed on her front step. “So when my seven-year-old daughter walked out of the house to go to the car, it was in plain sight for her to see. “She picked it up and said, ‘Oh daddy, what’s this?’� Fisher’s daughter did not understand what she had seen before it was taken away from her, but, according to posts on Facebook, other children in Kanata were disturbed by what they saw. The Ottawa director of the card campaign says she has no problem with children finding the cards in their mailboxes or tucked into doorways. Those cards, hand delivered to Morgan’s Grant, Kanata Lakes and elsewhere, are part of a nationwide campaign that will see up to 20,000 of the cards delivered in Ottawa alone, said the Nepean resident leading the distribution in Ottawa. “Our plan is to continue to do Kanata and Stittsville and then focus on Ottawa Centre because there are a few pro-abortion candidates there,� said Ruth Shaw, the head and founder of Ottawa Against Abortion. “Our goal is to distribute as many as possible,� she said. Ottawa Against Abortion is one group of many helping out with what organizers call “the biggest pro-life campaign in Canadian history,� spearheaded by the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform and the Campaign Life Coalition, said CCBR spokesman Jonathan Van Maren. “We’ve covered ridings in Vancouver, Saskatchewan, we are delivering them in Alberta and Manitoba right now as well, and so far we’ve delivered more than 300,000 in Ontario,� he said.

Go back in time at medieval fest Brian Dryden

Someone in the King’s court has been murdered, and you need to figure out who did it. That’s the theme of one of the new attractions at this year’s Kingdom of Osgoode Medieval Festival, which is set to take over Osgoode July 11-12 as days gone come alive at the 8th annual Kingdom of Osgoode Medieval Festival. There is also an Education Day geared towards kids on July 10. Organizers are expecting more than 5,000 people to visit the Kingdom this year. “We get people from all over, it’s the biggest event we have in Osgoode each year,” said Connie Bazil of the festival. “Last year, we had about 5,000, but the weather was bad. If it is good this year we should get even more.” This year added to the activities is a Birds of Prey show, a Medieval Murder Mystery and the festival has also teamed up with the Festival of India, which will see foods from India available on Sunday, July 12, along with Indian dancers. One of the highlights each year is the Kingdom of Osgoode Medieval Festival Education Day, which is Friday, July 10, this year, and is geared towards kids aged four to 14. The education day includes games and demonstrations on everything from chivalry and armour to medieval music and archery. Children also get a chance to try their hand at using a trebuchet, catapults and stilts.

There will be a great deal to see, do and learn at this year’s Osgoode Medieval Festival July 10 to 12. “It keeps getting bigger and bigger every year,” Bazil said of the education day that will see as many as 500 kids take part, many from area children’s day camps visiting the Kingdom for a chance to travel back in time. To take part in the education day, kids must be preregistered, which can be done by calling the festival at 613-443-9090, or by going to the festival’s website. “We need to know how many are coming for that, so it is best not to just show up for the education day,” Bazil said. The festival takes place off Osgoode Main Street. For a complete schedule of events, vendor roster and festival ticket information, go to osgoodemedievalfestival.com.
With a clap of his hands, a man strapped into a harness signals the start of a very specific set of steps. He leaps lightly onto a swinging platform and turns to face a second platform, moving back and forth on the other side of the stage. The man swings higher and higher, until he judges the timing to be right. With a short, loud, ‘Hi,’ he says he’s ready, and as his swing reaches up, he jumps and tumbles almost six metres in the air and as he falls, lands on the second moving platform. The jump is the main responsibility of Uladzimir Maliutsin, a professional acrobat for Cirque du Soleil in its show, Varekai, which was performed at the Canadian Tire Centre from July 2 to 5. Maliutsin’s jump is a good reference for the plot of the show, which describes the fall of Icarus after he flew
too close to the sun, and his discovery of an enchanted forest after plummeting back to earth. Having a plot to the show is one of the ways in which Cirque du Soleil distinguishes itself from the traditional circus performance, said artistic director Michael Smith. “In traditional circus there is no relation to any acts,” said Smith. “It’s just they throw them on the stage and there is a blackout, and if you are lucky there aren’t too many animals,” he said with a small laugh. “What pops is when you involve people emotionally and take them through a journey and then you have this incredible production and acrobatics around it. That’s when it becomes exciting,” he said. That is some of the magic that can happen when you transition from an athlete, capable of some amazing physical feats, to an artist, which is what Maliutsin has
worked to do since leaving his competitive career and joining Cirque. Maliutsin began his acrobatic career in his home country of Belarus at eight years of age, when his father asked him what sports he would like to play. After choosing acrobatics, Maliutsin went on to compete on his country’s national team for two years. He later joined a Russian circus, and then, eight years ago, began working for Cirque du Soleil on Varekai. Going from an athlete to a performer has not been seamless, said Maliutsin, and has required a bit of a change in attitude as well. “Like any athlete, he is not an artist,” said Maliutsin. “That’s what they try to teach you in Cirque … if you are a good athlete it doesn’t mean you can be a good artist.” The athlete works to push themselves farther, to execute ever greater manoeuvres.

uOttawa starts search for Jean’s replacement Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
The University of Ottawa has launched a search to replace Michaëlle Jean as the school’s chancellor. Jean announced in April she was stepping down from the position because of her new responsibilities as the secretary-general of the International Organization of
ottawa COMMUNITY
La Francophonie. She started the new post, overseeing the association of French-speaking nations, in November. Born in Haiti, Jean came to Canada in 1968 as a refugee and was raised in Thetford Mines, Que. She replaced Adrienne Clarkson as the governorgeneral of Canada in 2005, until she was succeeded by
David Johnston in 2010. She has served as the university’s chancellor since 2012 and will continue to do so until a new one is found. Nominations sought
The university has invited anyone from within the uOttawa community, including students, alumni and staff to nominate a successor through
an online nomination form by the end of August. The chancellor serves as the ceremonial head of the university, presiding over convocation ceremonies and representing the university at major events. “We seek a University of Ottawa chancellor who is interested in the quality of the university experience, and supportive of it,” said Rob-
ert Giroux, president of the university’s board of governors. QUALITIES
“We are also looking for someone who is bilingual, who is well-known and who has international experience. This person will be a leader capable of rallying the university’s stakeholders and
partners, inspiring them to collaborate to meet uOttawa’s goals.” A selection committee has been set up to find a replacement and the university’s board of governors will officially name the new chancellor in the fall of 2015 based on the recommendation of the school’s senate.

Ottawa police urge residents to ‘mind their valuables’ Metroland Media Staff
Summer is in full swing, which can mean a rise in crimes of opportunity. But police are hoping to head those off at the pass by sharing some advice. Ottawa police recently urged residents to keep the windows and doors of their homes locked when no one is around, and are now reminding people to ensure any valu-
ables aren’t left in plain view in their vehicles. Acting Insp. Donna MacNeil-Charbot said in a statement on June 25 that it’s just as important “not to leave valuables in plain sight in your vehicle where they may become accessible to wouldbe thieves.” Police also say not to leave personal identification, vehicle registration, insurance certificates or credit cards in
your vehicle. “Even loose change can make your vehicle a target,” according to police. Any thefts should be reported to investigators by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 7300. Police tips:
• Always keep your home, garage, shed and vehicle locked, even when you are home
• Close and lock car windows and doors • Park facing the street and in well-lit areas so potential thieves are more likely to be spotted • Lock and store bicycles out of sight • Place an ‘all valuables removed’ card in plain sight inside your vehicle to remind yourself to remove all valuables and to discourage potential thieves.

Graphic images work to change people’s minds: campaigners them. The campaign will sometimes place the cards in envelopes, but only when volunteers cannot hand deliver them to doorsteps, he said. Ultimately, Bennett said the campaign is “quite mean.” “I was a family doctor for 20 years and I don’t believe anybody ever took decisions (about abortion) lightly,” she said. “These are very tough decisions for women to make.” Though Bennett said the No2Trudeau Campaign information contains inaccuracies – for instance, Trudeau and the Liberal party don’t support abortion up until birth – she is not aware of any legal action the party might consider against the campaign.

“The ASC has had complaints previously in other years about ads whether pro-life or pro-choice and have dealt with them when they don’t relate to political issues,” said Feasby. North Kanata Coun. Marianne Wilkinson has also received appeals from concerned residents. She said while the images on the cards and the way they are being distributed is horrible, she doesn’t know if the city can do anything about it. South Kanata Coun. Allan Hubley agreed that the city cannot pass a bylaw against it, though the material is offensive, and likely does not help the pro-life cause. Parents in other areas of the country, including Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett’s riding in Toronto, don’t know who they can turn to to keep the images away from their children, Bennett said. “I guess people feel there is some gap in policy that this kind of graphic material can be dropped at people’s doors and have children inadvertently pick it up and be frightened by it,” said Bennett. But the images aren’t causing that much harm, especially when one considers the good they are doing, said Van Maren and Shaw. “I would counter the fact that (the images) are having any damage (on children),” said Van Maren. “We actually have research to indicate that. “What we’ve discovered is that the children react how the parents react. So if the parent assures the child that him or her is safe, we’ve seen that the image does not actually negatively affect the child whatsoever. Of course, if the parent were to react very badly then that would be a different case entirely,” he said. Shaw goes one step farther, saying she doesn’t understand why those who consider abortion a choice would have a problem with seeing what an abortion looks like. “When someone tells me that they are shocked that we would do this, the question I
would really ask them is, ‘Why is it shocking to see something that you already support?’” said Shaw. “Shouldn’t the question then be like, ‘Why do we support something that is so horrific to look at? And if it’s horrific to look at, then isn’t it a horrific action to begin with?’ So we are not doing it to just have a shock value.” Both Van Maren and Shaw said they support using the graphic images because they believe they work to change people’s opinion, and because they are educational – showing the results of an abortion. When asked whether the campaign would consider placing the cards in envelopes warning of the graphic nature of the images inside, Van Maren said that only leads people to throw out the cards without looking at

Ottawa - summer activities to enjoy This summer, I hope you take some time to enjoy many unique activities around our beautiful city. Here are just a few:
Canada Day in south Ottawa
• The City will be hosting free weekly programs and special events at various times for all residents to enjoy on the Marion Dewar Plaza (the front lawn of City Hall), located at 110 Laurier West as well as Lansdowne Park at 1015 Bank Street. Regular weekly programs will run throughout July and August. For the full line-up of City Hall and Lansdowne Park summer activities and all of the attractions, festivals and events happening across the city and in your community, visit the “Summer in the City” listings on ottawa.ca.

The event included a second-annual classic and vintage auto show. TOP RIGHT: Gail Anglin, left, dressed as Sabra Billings – the first child of Lemira and Braddish Billings – greets Ryan Griffin and his wife Svetlana Demtchenko, of Nepean, for a special Canada Day tea service at Billings Estate. Anglin dressed as Sabra to honour the 200th anniversary of her birth at the estate.
• From June to August come out to Parliament Hill to see the changing of the Guard. This large-scale production includes a regimental band and pipers. The ceremony begins at 10am each morning on Parliament Hill. Arrive about 15 minutes early to grab a spot with a great view! • Drop-in to an Ottawa Public Library Branch and sign out a local Museum Access Pass. The pass entitles you to free access to many local museums such as the National Gallery and the Museum of Nature. The passes cannot be reserved, so drop by your local branch’s Express collection for current availability.

Comment Deadline – South Keys to Blossom Park, Bank Street Community Design Plan
More Content, More Credibility, More Customers.
In December 2013, the City initiated a Community Design Plan (CDP) for a portion of Bank Street from the CN railway corridor (near the Greenboro Transit Station) south to Queensdale Avenue. The purpose of the CDP is to guide future development, design, and infrastructure in the project area. It will establish a 20 year vision and long-term plan for the area, and a roadmap explaining how to achieve the plan.

The preliminary South Keys to Blossom Park, Bank Street CDP, Secondary Plan and related Zoning By-law Amendment maps are now available for public review and comment up until July 24, 2015. The City would like to know your views concerning this project. All public comments will be considered when finalizing the draft documents to be presented to Planning Committee in September 2015. To access information relating to this proposal, e.g., plans and studies, go to Ottawa.ca/southbankstreetcdp. Keep in touch this summer I really appreciate receiving e-mail, letters and phone calls from residents of Gloucester-Southgate Ward on any City issue you may wish to discuss. In addition, I often send out e-mail updates to residents on issues affecting our city. If you would like to stay informed on the latest information on City business, events and other issues pertaining to our community please provide your contact information to my office at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2480 and I will ensure you receive my next update.

Bombay-spiced chicken, cauliflower great on barbecue A deliciously spiced combination for summer grilling. Serve with a cucumber and tomato salad or local corn. Your favourite fruit chutney, tzatziki or raita (cucumber-yogurt dip) would be a great addition. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Marinating time: 30 minutes, up to four hours. Grilling time: 15 to 20 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts • 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil • 10 ml (2 tsp) ground coriander seed • 5 ml (1 tsp) each ground cumin and paprika • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) cayenne pepper • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and freshly ground pepper • 2 cloves garlic, minced Grilled cauliflower • 16 bite-size cauliflower florets
• 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh lime juice • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cumin, ground coriander seed and ground turmeric • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and freshly ground pepper Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, ground coriander, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Place the
chicken in a shallow container, and pour in the marinade. Cover the chicken and place it in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to four hours. Grilled Cauliflower: Thread the cauliflower florets onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
